The Federal Trade Commission urged a 100 million dollar protein supplement industry to label products with warnings that they are unnecessary for most Americans and potentially dangerous for many.

The California Assembly approved a measure by Sen. Albert Rodda to allow about 800,000 teachers and school workers to choose a single union for bargaining over wages hours and class size while stopping short of strike rights.
