Attorney General Kane to FCC: Help protect consumers from unwanted calls, scams

$\"Paulmccartneyfriendsdontlet406606\"$ HARRISBURG – Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane today urged the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to better protect consumers from unwanted calls and scams by allowing phone companies to utilize call-blocking technologies.

These technologies have been developed to enable phone carriers to identify and block unwelcome sales calls at their customers\’ request.

However, some phone carriers have allegedly not implemented this technology, in part because they believe that federal law prevents carriers from blocking calls on their consumers\’ behalf. Some examples of these technologies include NoMoRobo, Call Control, and Telemarketing Guard.

A Can Of Soda Is (Not) Worth 12,000 Steps

There are pretty much no health benefits to drinking soda. It\’s linked to obestity, diabetes, and poor cholesterol.

Federal Appeals Court Rules Unanimously Against New Jersey

$\"6a00d8341bf7d953ef0192ac03024d970d-200wi\"$ ALLENTOWN, Pa., Sept. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — A three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has ruled unanimously that a New Jersey law that promoted construction of new power plants by subsidizing development of new generation in the state is invalid because it oversteps the state\’s regulatory authority. The judges ruled that the federal government has exclusive control over interstate rates for capacity payments to electric power generators.

The New Jersey law, which enabled selected generators to receive preferential capacity prices, intruded into an area of regulation reserved for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission under the Federal Power Act.

Op-Ed: We Need to Think About Special Education as a Service, Not a Place

In 1911, New Jersey recognized the importance of educating children with special needs by providing state funding to cover special-education costs that exceeded those of general education. The effort placed New Jersey in the forefront of providing special-education services — a position it still holds and one that we should be rightly proud of. Today, whether…

FBI FILES: WILLIE SUTTON

Willie Sutton

$\"Willie$
Willie Sutton

Born on June 30, 1901 in Brooklyn, New York, Willie Sutton was the fourth of five children. He attended school through eighth grade, then left home to secure a job. Sutton’s employment included jobs as a clerk, a driller, and a gardener. His longest continuous employment lasted 18 months. Sutton was married in 1929, but his wife divorced him after he was incarcerated. He remarried in 1933. Before his death, Sutton co-authored \”I, Willie Sutton\” and \”Where the Money Was.\”

Willie Sutton acquired two nicknames, \”The Actor\” and \”Slick Willie,\” for his ingenuity in executing robberies in various disguises. Fond of expensive clothes, Sutton was described as being an immaculate dresser. Although he was a bank robber, Sutton had the reputation of a gentleman; in fact, people present at his robberies stated he was quite polite. One victim said witnessing one of Sutton’s robberies was like being at the movies, except the usher had a gun. When asked why he robbed banks, Sutton simply replied, \”Because that’s where the money is.\”
