3D Printing and DIY Guns Three-D printers produce objects by spraying thin layers of plastic, metal or ceramics that build into shapes. Industrial companies use them to make parts. Gun components have been made that way and used in guns that successfully fire bullets. Now a law student in Texas has set off a raging controversy with plans to completely print a functional weapon and release the specifications free on the Internet. The Wiki Weapon project raises the possibility of a convicted felon making a gun without needing a permit or a kid in the bedroom making a gun while parents think he or she is "playing video games on line."

Construction continues at new Inglewood stadium The most expensive sports stadium in US history is rising from a huge hole in the ground in the South Bay city of Inglewood. In just two years Inglewood will play host to both L.A. football teams, the Rams and the Chargers, and add a million square feet of retail, office space, a hotel, parks and even a lake! As the 70,000-seat stadium site takes shape, the city around it is anticipating big changes -- some welcome and some worrisome.
