The volcano, Mount Redoubt in Alaska is a big one! At 10,197 feet tall, it is one big volcano. This volcano is supposed to blow at anytime! On January 23, there was high seismec activity and people think it will blow at any moment. Many residents of Alaska aren't worried about the eruption and think it won't be too major. The last eruption in 1989 only disrupted air traffic. Hopefully, the volcano doesn't harm any people and is not too powerful. So for anyone wanting to go to Alaska, watch out for Mout Redoubt!

The Future Of Gaming
Video games are fun, but some people argue that they don't use enough of your brain. Now, those people don't have to worry anymore. The Emotiv EPOC headset might be coming out in a while. It is a specialized headset that requires you to use your mind. Games like The Matrix and Star Trek's Holodeck are possibilities for the EPOC. President and co-founder Tan Le says, "The brain-to-computer interface was undoubtedly the future for video games." In a couple years, you might be using your mind more for entertainment thanks to the EPOC headset!!!

Interesting Owls
Owls are great creatures! They eat small rodents like shrews, mice, and moles. Every day, they spit out an owl pellet. Owl pellets are bones and some fur that can't be digested, so the owl spits them out in a pellet. Lucky for us, we got to dissect them! We chose partners and then began. First, we took the pellet out of the foil. We then weighed the pellet and measured it. Next, we began to dissect the pellet. Carefully, we used toothpicks and our own hands to search the pellets for bones. We then tossed out the fur and began cleaning the bones. Then, we sorted out the bones and glued the skeleton of the animals together. Finally, we compared our disoverys with the class. The average number of animals a group got was two. My group got a mole and a shrew! Owls are very interesting creatures and are great animals!
