Paris & Nicole reunite (to ruin my summer camp memories...yes, they will be counselors at a summer camp for the next "Simple Life") (Reality Blurred)

- Edoc Laundry stars in 'CSI' (this is cool -- I posted about them in Essentials [4th item] awhile back. It appears they have been integrated into a "CSI: New York" plotline - Connie from Edoc says: "Not a penny was exchanged for this opportunity.") (video clip from "CSI: New York" featuring Edoc Laundry)

- Media literate teens less likely to light up (they smell the lies in tobacco ads a mile away) (UPI)

- Thou shalt not download (a funny story about how some Christian teens rationalize illegal downloading of Christian music as spreading the gospel) (L.A. Times, reg. required)

- Ripe TV (a short form ad-filled broadband version of Spike TV?) (WSJ)

- Wireless coeds (most campuses have wireless internet access...and Nielsen is now beginning to measure college TV viewing habits) (USA Today) (MediaPost, reg. required)

- Army to offer 'strength' (that's the new theme for the Army's ad campaign launching Nov. 9...I found this tidbit at the end pretty interesting/scary: "The Army said 2,600 of the new recruits came in as a result of lower aptitude standards, and there was a slight increase in the number of recruits accepted under waivers for various medical, moral or criminal problems, including misdemeanor arrests and drunken driving.") (Adage.com, reg. required)

- School security goes high tech (cameras, i.d. checks and more to keep predators out...though the article does say: "If somebody's really determined to get into a school and they have a high enough caliber weapon, they're going to get in") (USA Today)

- Green college ("College of the Atlantic in Maine has vowed to offset all of its greenhouse gas emissions, making it the first college in the nation to seek to fully mitigate its impact on global warming." This is coming from student pressure...look for more green colleges nationwide) (Washington Post, reg. required)
