A California man who started a school that teaches marijuana
cultivation and care says the institution is aimed at
preparing students to operate pot clubs.
Richard Lee said his school, Oaksterdam, is intended to
train students in the sale of marijuana and food items made
from it, to people who have medical recommendations from
their doctors, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
"We're doing this to show our cities we can be good
neighbors," Lee told one of his classes. "That we've got
nothing to hide. That we can run a business on the up-and-up,
and it's nothing to fear."
Lee said the two-day course offered at Oaksterdam teaches
students how to grow marijuana indoors and offers
instruction on how to harvest and cook with the plant. He
said the classes feature lecturers on the complex legal
issues involved with operating a pot club, which were
approved by California's Proposition 215 but remain illegal
under federal law.
what are your thoughts on a school teaching cultivation and
care for marijuana?

Dutch prisoners offered dating service
An organization for imprisoned convicts in the Netherlands
announced it is creating a dating agency to help those
behind bars find love. A representative of the organization
said prisoners are being offered the opportunity to send in
their personal details and the organization will help match
them with women, Radio Netherlands reported. "Relationships
often break up during detention and it is difficult to find
a new partner," the representative said. The organization
said romantic relationships can help ex-convicts released
from prison to keep from re-offending.

City mulls 'snout house' garage bylaw
How far a garage's "snout" can stick out from a new house is
coming under scrutiny in the Canadian city of London,
Ontario, a city official said. So-called "snout houses"
have been criticized for turning residential streets into
rows of unattractive garages that erode a sense of community
by blocking sightlines, the London Free Press reported. The
chairwoman of the city's planning committee, Judy Bryant,
said there are no regulations in place to limit how far a
garage can protrude from the body of the house, but a
proposed bylaw was being discussed. "When you come out your
front door, you can't even see down the street to your
neighbors' houses," Bryant said. "You get no sense people
are living in these houses." The proposed bylaw would
limit the projection of a garage beyond the main front door
to a maximum 9 feet, she said. Bryant said if the bylaw is
enacted, it will take effect Nov. 1 and apply only to future
developments, not subdivisions already under construction,
the newspaper said.

Builders find skeletons beneath home
A Potters Bar, England, woman says workers building an
addition on her cottage have discovered 10 skeletons beneath
the floor -- and they expect to find more. Catherine
McGuigan said a group of five workers discovered the first
of the bones while digging beneath her dining room three
weeks ago, The Daily Mail reported. "The men said they had
found what they thought was an old pipe but when they pulled
it out of the ground they realized it was bone," she said.
"Then they looked down and there in the earth was a skull
and the rest of the skeleton." McGuigan said more skeleton
discoveries followed and the current total stands at 10.
However, she said she has been told there may be as many
as 40 skeletons buried under the home. Police were
initially called to investigate, but the bones were found
to be more than 100 years old and research performed at
the local library revealed a Quaker burial ground used to
exist in the space now occupied by the cottage, McGuigan
said. The unclaimed bones have left McGuigan with another
problem -- disposing of them. She said she has been told
it could cost more than $60,000 to cremate the bones in
a manner that would be satisfactory to Quakers.
