Arizona is preparing to enforce its new immigration law starting July 29. Reporter Nicholas Riccardi talks about officers' training and what they will and will not have to do under the law.

The discovery that California's recipients of government assistance could access their funds in casinos and strip clubs across the state came as a surprise to many. Reporter Jack Dolan talks about how he came across the story in the first place.

And finally, you think your phone is so smart, don't you. Well, reporter David Sarno explains that it might be too smart for your own good. He offers some tips in Sunday's Business section on how to be more safe than sorry while using your phone.

Podcasts - cool but, I wanted to hear the ATM story and not have to wait through the AZ police officer training story. Can you make each story clickable and separate?

Steve,

Thank you for listening and for your feedback. We'll certainly consider that. For now, though, you are able to scrub through the audio in the player included in the post, so that you can enjoy the segments you want to hear and skip over others.

Again, thank you for your comments.

Michelle
