MADISON, Wis. (AP) - A new report says nuclear power plants would take too long to build and are too expensive to make any impact on global warming.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) - Federal officials say the despised Asian carp may have breached an electronic barrier designed to prevent it from invading the Great Lakes.

From there, they could spread throughout the Great Lakes and out-compete native species for food.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - A Madison detective plans to nominate a Chicago college student for a departmental citizenship award after the woman turned over a duffel bag containing more than $10,000 in cash.
