What better way to celebrate America than by flying a piece of controversial technology through an explosion? As Independence Day approaches, enterprising drone pilots will be hitting the skies to get the best footage of the colorful festivities.

He may have dropped the news on April Fools Day, but California Governor Jerry Brown’s new water rules are no joke. Issued while standing in the bone dry Sierra Nevada mountains—which are usually packed with snow this time of year—Brown’s executive order will affect every user in the state, from cities to golf courses, parks to agriculture.
The edict attacks the water shortage in four ways: by reducing water waste, implementing stricter waste enforcement, streamlining the bureaucratic processes for water management, and developing new technologies to reduce both usage and waste. Most strikingly, Brown’s plan called for a statewide, mandatory reduction of water use in cities and towns by 25 percent. According to the executive order, this would save 1.5 million acre feet of water in the next nine months. Why nine months? Because that’s when California’s wet season (hopefully) starts again. An acre foot is literally an acre of land covered with one foot of water. How Common Core is killing the textbook. BERKELEY, Calif. — On a sunny January afternoon, the heaviest things in six-year-old Miriam Foster’s backpack were her lunch box and her jacket, making it manageable for the kindergartener’s walk home. “She does it herself from here to home, and home to here,” said Miriam’s mom, Tawankon Foster, 31.
Her light load was not unique. At Emerson Elementary School in Berkeley, California, the occasional library book provides some heft, but the 20-pound pack is a thing of the past. After adopting the new Common Core standards, Berkeley has become one of an increasing number of districts across the country to reject textbooks or workbooks — at least for some classes. In Berkeley, officials went looking for the best new math curriculum for the new standards. What the district chose instead of a traditional textbook was a curriculum that was available free of charge on the Internet for anyone able to print it all out.
