American Freeskiing Olympic Team

Last week, the coaches made their final picks to solidify the United States Freeskiing team for the Sochi Winter Olympics in two weeks. The slopestyle team consists of Bobbys Brown, Gus Kenworthy, Nick Goepper, and Joss Christensen. Somehow, Tom Wallisch was left off the team. The halfpipe team is three time defending XGames gold medalist David Wise, as well as Torin Yater-Wallace, Aaron Blunck, and Lyman Currier. American team members won their respective events at the XGames last weekend so they are the projected favorites in Sochi next month.

Is a Perfect Bracket Possible?

Billionaire Warren Buffett and his company Berkshire Hathaway have invested $1 billion in Quicken Loans as a bet that no one will fill out a perfect NCAA basketball tournament bracket. If anyone were to craft a perfect March Madness bracket, they would receive $25 million a year for the next 40 years, or simply a lump sum of $500 million. Last year, there were no ESPN brackets perfect after the first round of 64, and the odds of making a perfect bracket are 1 in 9 quintillion (quintillion=1,000,000,000,000,000). So it looks like Buffett made a pretty safe bet this time.

Could Justin Bieber Be Deported

Lately, Justin Bieber has been pretty crazy and misbehaving a lot, and it is possible that the American immigration authorities may deport him back to his home country of Canada. He recently has been accused of egging a neighbors house and causing thousands of dollars of damage, and his house was searched by the police. If he is convicted of a felony for the egging incident, it is very possible that he could be deported back to Canada. This is actually really cool, and i hope h goes back to being a Canuck.

Ford Solar Car

Ford unveiled a new concept car called the Ford C-MAX Solar Energi. This car has solar panels on the roof that can almost completely supply the energy that used to be provided to the car by plugging it in to a charger. These panels use a Fresnel lens, which captures eight times the energy of a normal solar panel. Each, day, these rooftop solar panels can provide about as much energy for the car as a four hour battery charge. It is possible that the C-MAX Solar Energi could be made into a production car within the next few years.
