Free US Journalists Euna Lee & Laura Ling
This is such a sad and scary story of these two women who are not just amazing journalists, but wives, daughters & one a mother of a 4yr. girl.  They were captured on 3/17 while reporting at the Chinese/N. Korea border.  They have been sentenced for "hostile acts", which are baseless.  They now have been sentenced to 12 years hard labor camp where many are tortured or die of malnutrition and/or disease.   The families and government have been very quiet trying to initially use humanitarian efforts for their release and recently have gone more public:  http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFnkp/zJDG/bGKzT

Editorial Policy:  Jane's List items are selected by our editors based upon information you have sent us as well as 'field experience' conducted by our editors.  We want to keep the legitimacy, integrity and fun of Jane's List intact so we'll never make a dime off your meal at a restaurant nor a penny from the sale of the latest toy we told you about.   And we ask the same in return:  all submissions about a product or business to Jane's List should follow the same guideline (that you not affiliated with the business).  We want you to send us your information to include in our daily lists:  available nanny/babysitter (or need for a babysitter/nanny), a fun place/event to take your children for fun (especially if free), a great place for mom's night out, fun crafts to do with your kids, that awesome new exercise class you have taken, your garage sale, items you wish to sell, great recipe, funny video, sentimental poem, great gift ideas, important safety information, etc.  We also LOVE to receive announcements (birth, press coverage of a local mom or business, etc) and will always be happy to post them.  You can submit your requests to us at kristy@parkcityjane.com ATTN:  Jane's List Item.  Please make sure that you give us plenty of advance notice (we require a week in advance to guarantee posting your information).

Note regarding products featured in our list:  all of the products written about in Jane's List have been 'test-driven' by our editors, subscribers or friends and family who have NO affiliation with the product editorialized.  If you have a product/book/restaurant, etc you would like our editors to consider writing about, please let us know.  We are always happy to have you send us something for one of our reporters to 'field test' for review for potential inclusion in one of our letters.


And, no, we would never sell our subscriber list to anyone--that would be lame.
