X-51A

U.S. Air Force and NASA have developed a new type missile that has been a break through in missile technology. The X-51A "Waverider" has the capability to travel at Mach 5 (5 times faster than the speed of sound) for an average of 200 seconds. The missile uses rocket boosters until the newly developed scramjet system kicks in. Scramjet engines use supersonic compression, combustion, and an unique design to propel at such great speeds. What also makes this new engine unique, is there no moving parts. In order for this to work, scramjet operations must be accelerated to a specific velocity first. With this speed, developers are close to creating a projectile that can hit any target on the globe within an hour. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_X-51

Iran

On Tuesday, Iran threatened to attack an "Enemy." Heads of Iran's armed forces said the country "will no more wait to see enemy action against us." Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said, "Iran is not a nation to sit still and just observe threats from fragile materialist powers which are being eaten by worms from inside." The U.S, Europe, and Israel have been pressuring Iran to end their nuclear program which they say is for "civilian purposes." However, many countries believe the program is to build a nuclear arsenal. Over the past few weeks, Iran and Israel's military forces have increased and Iran has ended all crude exports this weekend. http://www.cnn.com/2012/02/21/world/meast/iran-warning/index.html?hpt=wo_c2

Bank Of America

Anonymous hacked the security research website, Stratfor Global Intelligence Service. They stole 4000 addresses, 90000 credit card accounts, and 3.3 million emails. Although, the group claims it was just for the emails. $1 million were taken but was donated to the American Red Cross. Hackers have claimed the breach included Bank of America, the Defense Department, Doctors without Borders, the United Nations and Lockheed Martin. “Stratfor is an open source intelligence agency, publishing daily reports on data collected from the open internet.” Anonymous said that is how they hacked them, the files were not encrypted. Anonymous representative claims they will not hack, or attack media sources. 

Anonymous

On Friday, the FBI and Scotland Yard had a confidential, top secret conference call about how to stop the hacking group Anonymous. However, the elite hackers recorded the 15 minute phone call and posted it all over the internet. A mass email was sent out giving everyone times, date, and passwords to government calls and files. Scotland yard confirmed there was no evidence to tie Anonymous to the hack. This group has claimed many leaks and hacks over the past few months. After the government shut down some of the top download sites, the group shut down most federal and government sites in retaliation. The FBI has found two possible suspects, two teenagers, but so far there is no evidence against them.

Dolphins

In the seas of Cape Cod, over 80 dolphins have died. Groups, up to ten, have been washing up on shore and died. These deaths are not uncommon, however the numbers are "disturbing." The reason for the rise in deaths are unclear but it could be due to the changes in water temperature. If the dolphins don't instantly die, they suffer, sunburn, organ damage, and attacks from predators. This is also happening in Maine and Massachusetts. http://www.cnn.com/2012/02/01/us/massachusetts-dead-dolphins/index.html?hpt=hp_bn1
