This photo taken March 26, 2013, shows flight test pilot Alex Gustafson dismantling a Insitu ScanEagle unmanned aircraft after a flight in Arlington, Ore. It’s a good bet that in the not-so-distant future aerial drones will be part of Americans’ everyday lives, performing countless useful functions. A far cry from the killing machines whose missiles incinerate terrorists, these generally small unmanned aircraft will help farmers more precisely apply water and pesticides to crops, saving money and reducing environmental impacts. They’ll help police departments to find missing people, reconstruct traffic accidents and act as lookouts for SWAT teams. They’ll alert authorities to people stranded on rooftops by hurricanes, and monitor evacuation flows. (AP Photo/Don Ryan)

The International Boxing Association's plan to eliminate headgear will make for more attractive fights, and might even safely secure the Olympic future of a sport that was very iffy in the games for a while. It would also seem, at least on the surface, to be inherently more dangerous. (AP Photo/Ivan Sekretarev, File)

Kevyn Orr, Detroit’s state-appointed emergency manager, has yet to step into his Detroit office, but the acclaimed bankruptcy lawyer knows the clock already is ticking down on the future of the city and an 18-month stint in which he’ll try to complete what he says will be one of the greatest fiscal turnarounds in U.S. history.

The helicopter carrying Pope Francis, sitting next to left window, flies on its way to Castel Gandolfo Saturday, March 23, 2013. Crowds are beginning to gather in the central square of Castel Gandolfo to catch a glimpse of history: Two popes meeting for lunch and presumably discussing the future of the Catholic Church. Pope Francis flies by helicopter Saturday to the papal residence in the Alban Hills south of Rome where Pope emeritus Benedict XVI has been living since resigning Feb. 28, the first pope to step down in 600 years.
