cars sales go up

In five years they think car sales will go up. At the end of last year 2012 there was 14.5 million sales. It went up 13% form 2011 and its the largest sales increase since 1984. Jesse Toprak said "It certainly shows the demand is coming back". This really surprises me with such high gas prices and with the was our economy is. They say that improving employment and better financing is helping increase sales. Also people are buying used cars and trading in their old cars to get a new one. This is helping too and that is also included in the 14.5 million. So its not just brand new cars people are buying. Are things starting to turn around that people are spending money on new cars with the high gas prices?

2013

The world is not going to end on Friday. 2013 will come and we will still be here.The people that do believe that it will end may do stupid thing though. I think there will be a baby boom. A lot of people might do what they have always wanted to do like go cliff diving or skydiving.Like the thing on their list of things they want to do before they die. 2013 I think will be like any other year new things will come out people will want it they will spend their money. Maybe something crazy will happen like prices on stuff goes down like gas or food price. I do think something will change drastically though. They keep saying how the world is going to end and I don't think it will, so something else big has to happen.

George W.Bush is going to be a grandpa

George W. Bush is going to be a grandpa for the first time. His daughter Jenna Bush Hager is pregnant. She is due in the spring. George Bush and his wife are "thrilled" to be grandparents. They say they are going to spoil their grandchild. Jenna and her husband are also very excited about having a baby but Jenna is nervous about it. They asked George what they baby will call him and she said "Sir!". I don't think he will do that. It's his first grandchild I don't think he will be harsh like that.

Burglar calls 911

In Springtown, Texas a burglar Christopher Moore called 911 because he was being held at gunpoint.  James Gerow was the homeowner and and his son is the one that pointed the gun. When Moore called the cops he didn't even know where he was all he said was "i'm out in the country somewhere. Someone guy's got a gun on me.". They found where he was because Lindy Gerow called the cops also and they put it together she had told the cops to hurry "or my husband's was going to shoot him." Christopher was aressted  for burglary and is held on a $35,000 bond.

beauty queen killed

The beauty queen of Sinaloa, Mexico was killed. Maria Susana Flores Gamez. There was a shootout and she go caught in the middle of it. There were also two more people that got killed too. The fight was between military troops and criminals from the municipality of Mocorito. There was a rifle found by her body when they found her but they don't know who shot her. This is not really something new though. One of the past beauty queens was also involved with things like this and drugs and she was taken to custody with several other people  but she got released. Since December 2006, 47,500 people in mexico have died from drug related fights. Also a lot of people have gone missing, about 5,300 and 9,000 people have been announced dead but no bodies have been found. I think they need to get it together and change this because they have a huge problem.

table a key bored for iphone

they are in the process of making a program for iPhones so you can use a table as a keyboard. it hepls for people with big fingers. You have to program your phone for it so it recognizes it. It goes off of vibrations. They have it working now but there are still flaws its not perfect and it doesn't work all the time. Spell check helps spelling errors because it might not get the letter right that you hit. There is a video that shows how it works but I don't think its that great because it goes from the keyboard to the screen of the phone and it doesn't show the letters coming up as they are typing. So it could be totally  fake. There is also this other thing they are making so you can use your body as a touch screen and this actually works if you have the machine projector thing they use in the video which  i think it petty cool.

no shoulder bones


Joshua Carter was born with out his collarbones. He a 22 year man that is normal just doesn't have collarbones. For those who don't know that is the bone in your shoulder. It is a very rare disease and its hereditary. This doesn't stop him for being able to do things, he can do everything that someone with collarbones can do. He started to notice that he was different in elementary and middle school. He could touch his shoulders together and no one else could. All his co workers are very accepting of this. They think its cool cause he can fit into smaller spaces because he can squeeze his shoulders together. He got this from his family, he is not the  only one that has it.His sister and his mom and hos moms granddad has it. If people make fun of him for it he doesn't let it get to  him cause he says 'roll with it cause at the end of the day your a little cooler than they are'.  I think this is kind a cool. In the video he crushes a can between his shoulders, a person with collarbones could never do that in a million years do that.
