Cellular surprise: first minute billing hits wireless calls
The article explains that major wireless providers bill from the moment a caller presses send, not from hello. Experts note pre-connection billing can raise costs, especially with peak rates, roaming, or long distance. Accounts vary by plan, with many offering hundreds of minutes to absorb charges.

Court rules stepparent can be charged in child death
New York Court of Appeals held Lisa Carroll responsible for Shanaya Jones’s 1996 death when she knew of the abuse by Shanaya’s biological father and did not intervene. The court deemed Carroll the functional equivalent of a parent during a 10 day period while Shanaya lived with her father and Carroll's husband. Elie Ward praised the decision as a key precedent for protecting children in stepfamilies.
