McALESTER, Okla. — A 23-year-old inmate beaten to death at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary had been put in a cell with convicted killer he had testified against.
Prison spokesman Jerry Massie says Paul Duran Jr. fought with one cellmate and then was put in a cell with Jessie James Dalton.
Duran was found beaten to death about 15 minutes later.
Massie says the two were not supposed to be put in the same cell and prison officials are trying to determine how it happened.

A SUBWAY sandwich bar worker was sacked after a video was posted on YouTube of him stuffing lettuce leaves up his nose, before putting them back in the serving tray.

Briton Richard Shannon, who also put salad leaves in his mouth and spat them out, was arrested after a "disgusted" customer recognised the 22-year-old on the internet.

The woman went to the global chain's outlet in Brownhills, West Midlands, and hurled a chair at him. Shannon admitted contaminating or interfering with goods with intent to cause economic loss, alarm or injury but claimed the incident, filmed by a friend on a mobile phone, was a prank and the lettuce had been discarded.

HUDSON, Ohio — A woman's postcard bearing greetings from Montana has finally arrived in northeastern Ohio — 47 years later.

Insurance agent Dave Conn opened his post office box in the community of Hudson last week and found the mailing sent from Helena, Mont., in 1962.

It was sent to Marion White, the previous renter of the box, who had died in 1988. The writer signed the postcard "Fran" and mentioned having "had a marvelous time in Montana."

After asking around, Conn says he determined the card must have come from White's well-traveled friend Frances Murphey, a longtime reporter at the Akron Beacon Journal. She died in 1998 at age 75.

A ONE-eyed filmmaker is going to implant a camera in his eye to make a film from his point of view.

Rob Spence, a documentary filmmaker from Canada, has been unable to use his right eye since it was damaged in a firearms accident as a child.

After wearing an eyepatch for many years, he recently got a prosthetic eye implanted – and decided he wanted to become what he calls an "Eyeborg" – a part-human, part-camera cyborg.

"I was looking at the small camera on my cellphone, and I got to thinking about the Bionic Man," he said in a recent video on his website.

"I want to turn my prosthetic eye into a wireless camera,"
