U.S. Troops in Niger

On Friday February 22, 2013 President Barrack Obama sent a letter to congress notifying them of a deployment of 100 soldiers or so into Niger. His reasons for doing so is that the troops are there to "provide back up for intelligence collection." and to also share information with French troops stationed in Mali. This action comes with concern from citizens and law makers. People are wondering what they really are doing there and if there is a threat to national security. i know we all hope this is not anything to worry too much about but many are just hoping the troops come home soon and safe.

Batter Up.

Bats scare the heck out of a lot of people. they flap their wings in the night and if you get a glimpse of them flying over your head it makes you jump a little bit. They are the only mammals that have the ability to fly and they have baffled scientist for a while about their flying ways. Scientists have developed a pair of Robotic bat wings. these wings shine a light on the blind little creature and help open the door for potential small robotic flight crafts. Just imagine hooking up a little HD Camera onto one and flying it around spying on people who think its a creepy little bat.

Hold on Sony Lovers.

There are three major gaming companies around in the United States. Microsoft has the Xbox 360, Nintendo has the Wii, and Sony has the PS3, but soon the PS3 will be needing to step aside for Sony has began to leak details on the PlayStation 4. February 21, 2013 details on the newly designed DualShock 4, and their new Eye Camera for interactive gaming.This new controller design stick close to the DualShock 3 controller and is a better design other than the original design of the DualShock 3 which was shaped like a huge crescent. this was a very disliked design. I know i am excited to see the new gaming advances the PS4 will have.

French Ghost

Recently an apparent controversial photo was taken of a french soldier stationed in Mali wearing goggles and a handkerchief with a skull on its face. This photo was seen by higher french officials and they were immediately angered by the "inappropriate behavior" of the soldier and explained that this could potentially give a negative look to the Frenches presence in Mali. they are currently in an investigation to discover who the soldier was. the individual who took the photo has stated he did not think the photo would spark so much attention and simply said that the soldier was not posing for the photo at all and he just saw him protecting his face from dust that was being blown up from a helicopter that was landing.
