1. Arizona Teen's Prank lands Him in Jail
Here's a bit: "A teen's Halloween prank landed him in the Pima County Juvenile Court Center today. The youth jumped on a cafeteria table at Marana High School, opened his jacket, displayed a belt with fake bombs, pulled out a broken BB pistol and said he would kill his fellow students."

Who Has A Free Press? Reporters Without Borders is an article from Alternet.org. Here's a bit: Reporters Without Borders is publishing for the first time a worldwide index of countries according to their respect for press freedom. It also shows that such freedom is under threat everywhere, with the 20 bottom-ranked countries drawn from Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe.

Here is an e-mail from Modeski:


Hiya Friends-

I believe I may have told or emailed you at some point
about a product a friend of mine invented with his brother.
But things have changed a bit since that last email and his
invention is being received *very* well as of recent months.
Sales have zoomed due to a review in Entertainment Weekly,
that he didn't know was being published, this past summer
and the press has been continuing (USA Today, CNN...)

Check it out ... it's a funny, inexpensive item that is a great
gift, or gag gift for that matter, just in time for the holidays.

Please feel free to pass this along to your friends and family
as I would appreciate your help in helping my friend increase
the exposure of JonnyGlow!

Thanks,
Mike
