American Idol 13: Sam Woolf -I Tried (Original)

Went back to watching the first episode and managed to catch this new
singer from there. He is in the top 9 at the moment. This is his
original song sang last year at another event  so it seems.

Malaysian Airlines Missing Flight

Appears something serious could have happened - the plane was carrying 239 people (227 passengers and 12 crew)  from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

AFP has closed its live report.The exact location of the aircraft has still not  been determined but its signal was said to be last detected in Vietnam.

Oil slicks have been spotted on the water surface.

Two impostors with stolen passports were on board the plane. An act of terrorism cannot be ruled out.

There has been some false reports going on - what has been confirmed is that the plane has not been found yet.

Appears that there could have been another two impostors on board the plane.

Real time coverage is available here

What's Buzzing? - Free Realms to end on March 31st

Sad to see this one go as it is primarily a game for kids. I did try it out and  did have some fun with one of the mini games - the tower garden defense.

I also tried out Vanguard which had some potential in it but seems underdeveloped. I tried it out as there was some kind of martial art class in it but I found the gameplay not very good so I stopped. So its end comes as not much of a surprise.

The impending  closure of Free Realms is indeed a surprise as there was talk that  more than 10 million people  had joined it.  One of the reasons for its closure was that many of the kids have grown up and moved on to other games. The game has quite beautiful graphics but I got to admit the gameplay was too simplistic and not always interesting in certain areas. That could be one of the reasons why some of the kids have moved on to play other games.
