CRTC rulings give consumers clout
Consumers should have more clout to deal with certain telephone and Internet issues next year because of a pair of initiatives from the federal telecommunications regulator. A long-discussed plan to allow consumers to cut down on calls from telemarketers by registering on a national "do-not-call list" should be in operation by Sept. 20, 2008, according to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. Separately, the CRTC recently announced conditional approval for a new consumer office to handle complaints relating to cellphones, Internet services and other telecommunications services not directly regulated by the CRTC. .
Oklahoma lineman busted for shoplifting
Sgt. Mike Horn, Tempe police spokesman, said Granger, 21, was at Burlington Coat Factory at Arizona Mills Mall, 5000 S. Arizona Mills Circle, when he removed an anti-theft device from a jacket and then hid the jacket in a bag. Horn said store security stopped Granger and called police. Mr. Granger made admissions to the offense and was booked into the Tempe City Jail for one count of shoplifting, Horn said. Shoplifting is a misdemeanor. Granger was cooperative throughout and was bailed out of jail, Horn said. Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said Monday Granger has been suspended from the team and sent home. He will not play. And well deal with his situation when we get back, Stoops said. If there is anything further, well see. Granger, a sophomore, started 11 of 13 games and had 3 1/2 sacks, but was known primarily as a run-stopper.

State's jobless rate up as workers flee
Michigan's unemployment rate in 2007 hit its highest level in 14 years, losing a total of 90,000 jobs as the state draws near to what everyone hopes is the bottom of a very deep hole. Worse than jobs disappearing is the fact that tens of thousands of residents are, too. A total of 40,000 people vanished from the state's labor force -- signs that the state's economy has been weak for so long that many potential workers simply quit the state to try their economic luck elsewhere. The preliminary 2007 average jobless rate for Michigan was 7.2 percent, the highest since 1993 when the annual rate hit 7.4 percent, according to data released Wednesday by the state Dept. of Labor & Economic Growth. .

Poly sets up text message alerts in case of campus emergencies Like other campuses, the university installs a system that sends word of emergencies to the Web pages and cell phones of students and staff By Nick Wilson Eight months after the Virginia Tech massacre, Cal Poly has joined colleges nationwide in launching a message alert system so that students can find out about emergencies quickly on their cell phones and personalized Web pages. Cal Poly has agreed to a one-year contract with e2Campus, paying $9,500 to the company that administers an alert system for notifying students, faculty and staff of emergencies of "imminent danger," said Vicki Stover, Cal Poly's associate vice president of administration. The program sends out text messages to subscribers' e-mail accounts and cell phones.
