Wisconsin Power Play

Last week in the during some protest against Wisconsin’s new union-busting governor, Scott Walker demonstrations that continued through the weekend with huge crowds on Saturday. Representative Paul Ryan made an comparison by mistake saying “It’s like Cairo has moved to Madison.” Which was not a good thing to compair to with all the stuff going in Egypt and so compair that to the Wisconsin people. I dont think that someone at that level in the gov't should be compairing the people to that. Its shocking that the people that are suppose to vote just fled the states. They should just do the vote without them.

Connecticut AG Asks Facebook to Detail Fraud Response.

Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen is asking Facebook about how it detects and disables fraudulent accounts, after a state legislator said her identity was misused in a scam to solicit her friends for money. Jepsen asked Facebook for information about the number of complaints it had received in the last 18 months about fraudulent or hacked accounts, policies for responding to such complaints and how long it took the company to do so. The company’s policy on such situations includes developing “complex technical systems to flag and block suspicious behavior, including the creation of phony accounts,” as well as “providing easy reporting channels for people to let us know when something is wrong, and educating people on how to protect themselves,” a spokesman said in an e-mailed statement.

President targets $350M for Great Lakes cleanup

President Barack Obama's 2012 budget called for around $350 million to clean up the Great Lakes. The proposal released Monday was a cut from the $475 million that Obama proposed orginally decided on but that amount has no changed. But it's an increase from the $300 million that Obama wanted for 2011, although it's uncertain whether that money will go threw because Congress has not yet approved the budget for the current year. During his campaign in 2008, Obama pledged $5 billion over a decade for the program, which would battle invasive species, step up removal of toxic sediments, restore wildlife habitat and take other steps to fix longstanding environmental problems in the Great Lakes.

Ultimate Electronics stores to be liquidated

Ultimate Electronics who is based out of Colorado that sells home electronics had filed for bankruptcy last month. They have now started liquidating its 46 locations nationwide, including six in the Twin Cities.
Stores are expected to remain open until stock becomes too thin, when they will then ship remaining merchandise to another location. The retailer is attempting to sell its merchandise immediately, so the value of its electronic products does not decrease. In Minnesota, besides the Minnetonka store. Ultimate Electronics has stores in Edina, Woodbury, Maple Grove, Burnsville and Roseville. According to the Minnetonka worker, who asked not to be named because workers were told not to talk the media, each store typically employs 17 to 20 people so closing the six locations in Minnesota could mean a loss of up to 120 jobs.
