Wells Fargo Online Education Resources - Wells Fargo & Company (WFC 27.73, +0.08, +0.29%) announces a new national alliance with the Citizenship Education Fund, an affiliate of the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr.'s Rainbow PUSH Coalition, to provide financial education training to African American clergy, parishioners and Wells Fargo customers beginning in 2011. The initiative, called the One Thousand Churches Connected Save Our Homes Financial Literacy Program, marks an unprecedented collaboration between Wells Fargo and the civil rights organization to help provide educational resources that improve the financial success of African Americans.

Rev. Jackson will be joined by Georgette "Gigi" Dixon, senior vice president, director of national partnerships for Wells Fargo, at a special ministers' luncheon and seminar themed, "The Role of the Church in the 21st Century." They'll jointly introduce the ambitious project before an expected audience of nearly 400 guests, representing religious leaders, their administrators and members from the Southeast region. The luncheon is being hosted today at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, 265 Peachtree St., from noon to 2:15 p.m. Rev. Jackson and Dixon will share the podium with fellow participants Bishop Paul Morton, Dr. T. Dewitt Smith, Bishop William Phillips DeVeaux, Bishop James Washington, and keynote speaker Dr. Otis Moss, Jr.

"Wells Fargo strongly believes that the solution to today's challenging financial times is education," says Dixon. "We are focused on long-term economic development in the African American community, but we know our customers must be empowered with the knowledge they need to succeed. This partnership with the Citizenship Education Fund will provide a powerful avenue that fosters a more open dialogue. This announcement underscores Wells Fargo's commitment to financial education and forging relationships with national African American organizations."

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone - Police say a man on a Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas punched a teenager who refused to turn off his iPhone as the plane approached the Boise airport. Officers arrested 68-year-old Russell E. Miller, of Boise, on suspicion of misdemeanor battery Tuesday. He has been released from jail on bond. Witnesses told police the 15-year-old was playing games and listening to music on his cell phone when flight attendants instructed passengers to turn off their electronic devices because the plane was landing. Witnesses told police that when the teen didn't respond, Miller got angry and punched the boy in the arm. Miller says he "tapped" the teen on the shoulder after he refused to turn off the phone. He told the Idaho Statesman that he may have "overreacted," but that he did not punch the teen. Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone
