Here is a Story for the Birds !
A mini Bird Buggy
"It's as simple as that," Gray told ABC News. "We've had our parrot, Pepper, for 10 to 11 years, and I wanted to come up with a solution to all the noise. Nothing was working."
Gray, a 29-year-old University of Florida graduate student, says when he came home on leave from the Navy, he took about a month to come up with an invention.
"I realized the bird needed to be around people constantly. He just needed to be in the same room," Gray said. "So I built the Bird Buggy."
The Bird Buggy is a robotic car that allows Pepper to cruise around the house at ease, all with a four-way, beak-operated joystick.
Boeing is have trouble with the Dreamliner
[http://news.yahoo.com/... 787 Makes an Emergency Landing.
Japan's two leading airlines grounded their fleets of Boeing 787s on Wednesday after one of the Dreamliner passenger jets made an emergency landing, the latest and most serious in a series of incidents to heighten safety concerns over a plane many see as the future of commercial aviation.
All Nippon Airways Co said instruments aboard a domestic flight indicated a battery error, triggering emergency warnings to the pilots. It said the battery in the forward cargo hold was the same lithium-ion type as one involved in a fire on another Dreamliner at a U.S. airport last week.
5 minor injuries were reported of passengers exxxxxiting the plane.
ANA flight 692 left Yamaguchi Airport in western Japan shortly after 8 a.m. local time (2300 GMT Tuesday) bound for Haneda Airport near Tokyo, a 65-minute flight. About 18 minutes into the flight, at 30,000 feet, the plane began a descent, cutting its altitude to 20,000 feet in about four minutes. It made an emergency landing 16 minutes later, according to flight-tracking website Flightaware.com.
A spokesman for Osaka airport authority said the plane landed at Takamatsu at 8:45 a.m. All 129 passengers and eight crew evacuated via the plane's inflatable chutes. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said five people were slightly injured.
