Video: Aquanaut Fabien Cousteau Surfaces After Spending 31 Days Underwater
Thirty-one days after his initial descent and 50 years after his famed grandfather's original deep-sea mission, Fabien Cousteau is back on dry land. The 46-year-old ocean explorer and documentary filmmaker finished his stint in an underwater lab 63 feet deep off the coast of Key Largo, Florida, on Wednesday, rising to the surface after a brief layover in a decompression unit. The project, called Mission 31, provided a platform to study oceanic pollution and climate change and their impact on wildlife, as well as to conduct scientific experiments on coral reef. Cousteau lived and worked in the underwater lab, known as Aquarius, for 31 days on end, the longest period of time spent at that depth in that specific lab.

Video: FAA Struggling To Deal With Drones, Now Going After Realtors And Farmers
The FAA is investigating New York City realtors who are using drones to document properties. They've also issued guidelines saying the use of model aircraft by farmers is unlawful. The FAA’s position is as simple as it is inane. If a realtor films buildings for fun using a remote controlled quadcopter that’s legal. But if she takes that same quadcopter and films buildings as part of her job, that is illegal.

Video: Almost naked bicyclists ride through Albuquerque
If you were on Central Saturday, you may have done a double take as a group of bicyclists passed by.
The "Bike Burque" Facebook group hosted a 'Less clothes more fun' bike ride. Wearing next to nothing, the bicyclists rode from the UNM Duck Pond to the Tannex, a clubhouse in southwest Albuquerque. The reason? To show everyone that cycling is fun.
"Today's event was a video installation and dirty zine reading. So the bike event was just an add on to try to get more people to come out, get on bikes, and have a good time and bring awareness to all the fun in Albuquerque," said Ratzlaffl organizer Lee Ann
There are laws that ban certain nudity. Event organizers say they did not endorse nudity but told participating cyclists to make their own decisions.

Video: National Flip Flop Day
Tropical Smoothie Café loves flip flops so much they've created a holiday to celebrate the shoe.
But there's more to it than just that. What started as a day to thank its customers for their loyalty to Tropical Smoothie Café has turned into a mission to raise money for Camp Sunshine, the only retreat in the nation to address the effects of a life threatening illness on every member of the immediate family - the ill child, the parents and the siblings.
National Flip Flop Day is June 20, the day before the first day of summer.
From 2-7 p.m. everyone wearing flip flops will receive a FREE 24 oz. Jetty Punch Smoothie (strawberries and banana).
The café will be collecting donations for Camp Sunshine, its national charity partner.
About Camp Sunshine
Since 1984, Camp Sunshine has been dedicated to impacting children with life-threatening illnesses, and the families who help them through, by offering a respite from the difficulties of their everyday lives.
On the banks of beautiful Lake Sebago in the wilds of Maine, the camp is a natural wonderland where families are free to play, explore, participate in activities and find support from those who know what they're going through best.
From swimming and soccer in the summer to horse-drawn sleigh rides and skiing in the winter, Camp Sunshine is here for families throughout the year.
And thanks to the generosity of individuals such as National Flip Flop Day contributors, they are able to offer the camp, and all of its amenities, to families COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE.
Ways to Donate:
To date, Tropical Smoothie Café has donated more than $2 million to Camp Sunshine, sending 1,000 children and their families to experience the camp.
Last year, Tropical Smoothie Café raised a record-breaking $515,000 for Camp Sunshine, and the brand plans to exceed that number in 2014 by raising $600,000, which would cover the costs to send 300 families to the camp.
Donate $5 or more to get a key fobs for 10% off all Tropical Smoothie purchases through 2014.
Donate any amount through the online form: https://www.campsunshine.org/support_us/donations/index.php
