Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03) 

CINCINNATI (AP) — A judge's offer to allow an Ohio drug defendant the chance to stay out of prison if he'd give up marijuana might have just gone up in smoke.
Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Melba Marsh says she was astonished by the response from 19-year-old Damaine Mitchell on Wednesday.
Mitchell told the judge he likes smoking weed and staying off it so he could stay out of prison would be "a challenge." He told the judge he could try to quit but made a request: Could he "at least get one more joint in?"
The judge quickly said no. She wants Mitchell back in court next week before she decides what to do with his trafficking case.

LOOMIS, Calif. (AP) — A prankster is changing the message on an electronic traffic warning sign in Northern California.
The sign is supposed to tell people that a road in the California city of Loomis will be closed for pipeline construction.
Instead, it read, "Smoke Weed Everyday" last week. It has also read, "Caution Loose Gorilla!"
Placer County Water Agency Senior Engineer Tony Firenzi told the Bee it took skill to change the message. The unknown hacker needed a keyboard and had to bypass some systems.

PHOENIX (Reuters) - An Arizona woman, in despair at the re-election of Democratic President Barack Obama, ran down her husband with the family car in suburban Phoenix on Saturday because he failed to vote in the election, police said on Monday.
Holly Solomon, 28, was arrested after running over husband Daniel Solomon following a wild chase that left him pinned underneath the vehicle.
Daniel Solomon, 36, was in critical condition at a local hospital, but is expected to survive, Gilbert police spokesman Sergeant Jesse Sanger said.
Police said Daniel Solomon told them his wife became angry over his "lack of voter participation" in last Tuesday's presidential election and believed her family would face hardship as a result of Obama winning another term.
Witnesses reported the argument broke out on Saturday morning in a parking lot and escalated. Mrs Solomon then chased her husband around the lot with the car, yelling at him as he tried to hide behind a light pole, police said. He was struck after attempting to flee to a nearby street.

Bomb Sniffing Mice?

Teams of highly trained mice could be used to sniff out explosives and drugs at airports.

The system is being pioneered by Israeli firm Tamar Group.

It uses specially trained mice equipped with biological sensors which detect changes in their heart rate, breathing, and other factors.

The animals are trained to react when they smell explosives or drugs and their reactions are recorded by a computer.

If the mice detect something inspectors or security officers are then alerted.

Tamar Group CEO Boaz Hayun, told the Times of Israel: "Animals' senses are far more well developed than humans', and more well developed than even the  most advanced security sensors created by man.

 Sensors will alert staff if explosives or drugs are detected
"Our system takes animals and turns them into biological sensors, using specially-trained laboratory mice and measuring their reactions to outside stimuli.

"They are placed at the entry point in a security checkpoint or installation, and when they detect something that appears suspicious, the sensor records their physical reactions and communicates it to a computer that analyzes the data and alerts security personnel."

The system is on show at a security conference in Tel Aviv.
