Try adding the parent::__construct

Code:

class shouts_model extends CI_Model {

public function __construct()
{
  parent::__construct();

  $this->load->database();
}

public function get_newest() {
  $sql = "Exec sp_wallboard_topShouts";
  $query = $this->db->query($sql);
  return $query->result();
}
