Students using their phones or smart watches during school hours could soon be a thing of the past in New Jersey .
Supporters of the legislation say they are driven by concerns over 'the mental health of students and over disruptions to the learning environment' caused by internet-enabled devices. “Students will benefit from having a bell-to-bell prohibition on cellphones. I think it’s that clear and that simple, and I think that’s what we did today,” Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin said.
Banning phones has nothing to do with student's 'mental health' - that is a complete crock of shit. Kids are leaving schools today stupider than at any time in recent history, because teachers are failing to teach basic skills. Getting phones out of schools is because kids use them to cheat, plain and simple. Take the phones away and the kids will have to think for themselves.

Bedford Falls, the small New York town where George Bailey lives in 'It’s a Wonderful Life' is the kind of town where everybody knows your name. Just where is this podunk haven? A lot of people think they know, and none of them agree.
The loudest claimants of the title of “real-life Bedford Falls” is New York’s Seneca Falls, whose representatives insist that director Frank Capra visited the town in 1945 when the movie was in pre-production.

The 1.7 billion claim is a fraud. No business could advertise it that way. The actual jackpot is 781million, and the winner can take it as an annuity which would pay a total of 1.7 billion over 20 years. Not that I will have to choose.
