FTC Recovers More Than $3 Million from Operators of DVD Vending Machine Scam
FTC
Over the years many Wisconsin consumers have lost money investing in vending machine business opportunities. Why? It is the ultimate work-at-home scam. All you have to do, they claim, is empty out the money box. My opinion...don't ever get involved in buying vending machines.
Retailers try fake invoices with Clark's name to sell warranties

It's my opinion that someone is using my name, too, to promote questionable products...products that I have advised consumers about. I have written to state consumer protection about this.

He explores the ancient Southwest
Steve Lekson, who studies ancient people of the desert Southwest, has received the 2011 distinguished explorer award from the Roy Chapman Andrews Society in Beloit.
Lekson is curator of anthropology at the Colorado Museum of Natural History and is called "perhaps the best writer in Southwestern Archeology" in a New York Times profile.
The blurb on the back cover of Lekson's "History of the Ancient Southwest" says, "While many ... would have us believe that nothing much ever happened in the ancient Southwest, this book argues that the region experienced rises and falls, kings and commoners, war and peace, triumphs and failures."

Wisconsin's Winter Sun
My video this week was inspired by a friend’s photo on Facebook--a blood-red orange winter sunset. It closes the video. The sun-speckled woodland stream photo at the beginning is Pat Krohlow’s, too. The pictures were taken all over Wisconsin from Peace Park in Rock County to Up North.When I worked with Pat at WLUK-TV in Green Bay, he filmed the Packers next door at Lambeau Field. The music for this video was composed by Kevin MacLeod who lives across the street from Lambeau. I lived three blocks from the stadium. The roar after a Packers touchdown rocked the neighborhood.
