Sports Baller z Post By: Et h an Joh n son This week in the NCAA, there was a problem with the coaches and the players. FBI tapes revealed the Arizona head coach giving his All-American center $100,000 to play for Arizona. This started a fire throughout the league that led to discoveries of a number of other teams paying their players to play. No solution to the problem has been found yet, but they are still working on it. On another note, it is finally March, which means March Madness! This is always the best time of the year for basketball fans. This is going to be an exciting year with all this amazing talent, and based on the regular season, there is no team safe from elimination.

NHL By: Cade Killin After a busy trade deadline, the Avalanche are hoping to keep the season heading in a good direction.

The team that is the current leader in points is the Tampa Bay Lightning, with 90 points. The team with the fewest points is the Arizona Coyotes, who have 46 points.

Olym pics Over view By: Tu f f Sigler The United States placed fourth overall in the 2018 Winter Olympics. Between all of the United States athletes, the United States brought in 23 total medals: 9 gold, 8 silver, and 6 bronze. This total includes three team gold medals: men?s curling, women?s cross country skiing, and women?s ice hockey. In the medal count, Norway placed first, Germany second, and Canada third.

Ou t st an din g Cu r lin g By: Em m an u el (EV) Vasqu ez The Winter Olympics concluded on Sunday, February 25th. The United States placed fourth overall, and I thought that they did great in curling this year. The U.S. won its first-ever gold medal in curling in a 10-7 win against Sweden. This gold looked particularly improbable when the Americans started round robin play with a 2-4 record, but the U.S. won three straight matches to advance to the medal rounds. In the semifinals, the U.S. beat heavily favored Canada 5-3.

Apples

?An apple a day keeps the doctor away? is an old saying that people say. Apples are a great fruit to eat, and they have some great variations. Apples with peanut butter is great, or a caramel apple is also a really tasty treat. Apples have many health benefits, and they reduce many sicknesses. They contain vitamin c, b-complex vitamins, dietary fiber, and phytonutrients. Apples can help prevent are cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. In my opinion apples are a great fruit.

By: Er in An der sen Colored pencils are a useful tool if you are looking for something to color. People usually use colored pencils to color in a coloring book. Colored pencils are a good way to fill in all the lines. They may leave some white spaces, but otherwise they are very useful. They come in many different colors, and the most popular brand is Crayola. You can find colored pencils at pretty much any convenient store. I would rate colored pencils five out of five stars.

BT21 By: Kyr ah M cCon ach ie BT21 is the cartoon version of BTS. Each of the characters in BT21 represents a person in BTS. The characters in BT21 are Cooky, RJ, Shooky, Mang, Koya, and Chimmy. They are a really cool group of characters. My favorite out of all the cartoons has to be Chimmy. Chimmy represents Jimmin of the BTS group. BTS is really creative with their idea to make cartoon versions of themselves. I would rate this cartoon a five out of five because they are adorable.

Lead is a big problem in poorer countries and no amount of lead is good. But a young scientist named Gitanjali Rao has created a device to detect lead in water. You can use your iPhone and the small device to detect if there are small or big amounts of lead in the water you're drinking. This could be a new revolution for the suffering people.

The Stratolaunch aircraft is 500,000 pounds, and it moved out of the hangar to have a fueling test for flight. It?s designed with two aircrafts on the side, and has a wingspan of 385 feet long. Rockets have always been the way to get satellites into space, but Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, wants to change that with the Stratolaunch aircraft. Paul Allen?s Seattle company is designing lifting rockets for this monster to reach space.

By Cade Killin British telecommunications company Vodafone has partnered up with Nokia for an out of this world project: 4G data coverage on the moon. The coverage will be used for transmitting data and videos between different rovers and other scientific missions. According to Robert Bohme, LTE on the moon is great, because it saves on energy and costs, so scientists can accomplish more. This 4G project will be the first of its kind once it is completed.

Ast r on om er s Glim pse Cosm ic Daw n By: Em m an u el (EV) Vasqu ez

After the Big Bang, it was cold and black, but soon enough there was light. Now, for the first time, astronomers have glimpsed that dawn of the universe 13.6 billion years ago when the earliest stars were turning on the light in the cosmic darkness. Astronomers may have also discovered some mysterious dark matter. The glimpse consisted of a faint radio signal from deep space, picked up by an antenna. Judd Bowman of Arizona State University. said the signal came from the very first objects in the universe as it was emerging out of darkness 180 million years after the Big Bang.
