Water plan faces Sierra Club critique over downgrading limits
The Sierra Club attacked the state Water Resources Control Board at a final hearing for a statewide ocean cleanup plan alleging looser limits and unchecked power for regional boards. Critics say the plan lacks sludge controls and toxic substance safeguards while supporters call it too strict. The board aims to adopt a final version in about a month with an estimated $670 million cost over five years.

Old cats resist new zoo diet changes in San Francisco
At the San Francisco Zoo the 50 kept animals including lions tigers leopards and cheetahs resist a shift from horse meat to a higher protein mix called zupreem. Zoologist Paul Maxwell notes younger cats adapt while older ones balk and even tricks like smearing meat are used. He stresses the change is not about money and cites calcium deficiencies from horse meat.
