Federal drug agents seize man's state-allowed medical marijuana
The daylight basement in Leroy Stubblefield's Sweet Home area house seems an unlikely battlefield for America's war on drugs.

Iceland invents energy-from-water machine
Now an Icelandic team has invented a radical device which can produce electricity from water. The Thermator could play a major role in the non-polluting economies of the future.
It works by something called the thermo-electric effect, which scientists have known about for many years. But while thermo-electric generators have mainly been used to power spacecraft, such as Voyager and Galileo using heat from radioactive materials, the Thermator is firmly rooted on Earth and works on nothing more than hot water.

Snipermobile was pulled over by cops on Oct. 2 and Oct. 3
On 2 October, officers from Montgomery County - the force leading the massive manhunt - stopped the car as it was driven by Muhammad, 42, but let it go without searching it. The next day - when four people were killed by the sniper in Montgomery County and one in Washington DC at night - police in the capital again stopped the car but did not have enough cause to arrest Muhammad or search the vehicle.
