Couple Uses 59,670 Pennies For Floor Remodel
          It took four months to glue every penny together and sanded the pennies to a thin, smooth, copper plate that they glued to there floor. They estimated $1000 spent on this floor remodel, which made alot of trips back and forth from the bank to there home only asking for pennies. Since they used an estimated amount of 59,670 pennies then of course they found some rares like a 1944 WWII 440 steel penny that was created due to a copper shortage, and a 1873 penny featuring an Indian head instead of Abraham Lincoln. Apperently both the pennies were enough to pay for the floor but they were both but on the floor and made it a fun party game to try to find the rare pennies. The floor was 380 square-feet room so just think about how hard it was to find 2 special pennies out of 59,670 (pretty hard). The couple has been posting the photos on their social media accounts and created a blog called ThePennyFloor.com about the project.

12-Foot Boulder Crashes Into Utah Woman's Bedroom
     A woman in Utah woke up with a 12 foot boulder, in her bedroom.  Wanda Denhalter, age 63, was home alone when the 12 foot boulder came crashing down in her bedroom, breaking her jaw and sternum, and leaving a giant gash on her leg. Wanda’s husband, Scot, said "I guess she heard the rumbling as it came down the hill and woke up, she rolled away from the oncoming noise to my side of the bed. If she had decided to swing her legs over the side of the bed and get up to investigate, it would have killed her." Despite how badly injured she was, she still was able to stumble out of bed and call 911. Scot admits to feeling guilty he wasn’t there. Scot predicts the reason for the boulder falling could have been water eroding the bottom of the rock, although the police could not find an exact reason for the boulder falling. Wanda has been recovering in the hospital as of Tuesday the 22nd of January.

Ms.K's Blood Project

     Ms.K is having students make a poster about the blood circulation. In this project you will get graded on the song, how everyone works together, and of course art.  The main part I would in the project and probably the hardest is the planning like you would need to get everyone's phone number and meet somewhere to discuss it. The song would be really fun to watch people sing about the curculatory system but the best part is that Ms.K will be filming it. Some of the people will have there song and poster be put on KTLR. You had to work with 3 or 4 people, Ms.K would not tolorate 2 or less people.

Project Shield by Nvidia

     Project Shield is a gaming console that has a 5" inch screen with 1280x720 HD that could fold in and out. The "Shield" also has direct touch display and the highest resolution and pixel density for great gaming and watching movies. YES! You could watch movies and on Hulu Plus, Youtube , and even Netflix on the "Shield". When it acts like an Android you could get some of your favourite apps like Dead Trigger 2 and Sonic the Hedgehog 4 episode 2. The "Shield" also has apps from Google Play and NVIDIA Tegra-Zone. Yet still a little small, but great quality great for gaming. With a cover to protect it on the back.

     The "Shield" can access your computer but only a certain type of computer it could access wirelessly but without it you will need a wire or a really good wifi connection. You can many games from Steam on PC to an Android and since the "Shield" is so portable you can bring your favorite games anywhere like Borderlands 2 or even Skyrim. The shield is pretty much a Xbox controller with a touch screen tablet on it with the most updated Android Jelly Bean service.

     The "Shield has a custom audio system and a bass-reflex never before experienced on a portable device. If you hook the "Shield" to your HDTV then the sound quality will be the same actually maybe even better. The sound dosen't go that high on the "Shield" so I think it would be better if you hook it to the HDTV.
Play Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 on your Project SHIELD portable game player.
As my friend Trey puts it "It's like a Nintendo DS and an Xbox controller had a beautiful baby."

Sahil, a student, says "It is really cool, really advanced, and really want one."

Journalistic Interview

What is an Interview
An interview is something that you do to get information out of someone about something. If I did an interview about the massacre that happened on Friday I would interview a person that knows about not just some random person that didn't hear about it yet.

Journalistic Interview
An interview is just asking a person about a subject but a journalistic interview because you record them by writing or something. Then you would
