(AP) — President Barack Obama campaigned vigor- ously for his revamped eco- nomic message Wednesday, warning that other countries have been grasping for first place in the global market- place as the U.S. fell down on the job. The president delivered the argument in Wisconsin, a state that will be critical to his re-election prospects, a day after a State of the YEARBOOK This would probably be it: If Red Bluff had a Union address where he contended that the U.S. has to step up its spending on innovation and infrastruc- ture in order to compete globally and create jobs at home. The president said Wednesday that while China invested in clean energy technologies, ‘‘we fell down on the job. We weren’t moving as fast as we should have.’’ ‘‘We’re going to need to go all in. We’re going to need to get serious about winning the future,’’ Obama said during a stop at Orion Energy Systems, a power technology company in the small town of Manitowoc. Obama showcased Orion as a leader in solar power and energy efficient technology, the kind of technologies the president argues are key for America’s future competi- tiveness. The president is calling 50% to 60% off MATTRESS CLEARANCE SALE WORLD BRIEFING for a new Sputnik moment, like the one in the 1950s when the Soviet Union beat the U.S. by sending a satel- lite into space — spurring the U.S. to pour money into science and technology pro- grams and eventually make it to the moon. Social Security projected to run deficits WASHINGTON (AP) — New congressional pro- jections show Social Securi- ty running permanent annu- al deficits unless lawmakers act to shore up the massive retirement and disability program. The Congressional Bud- get Office said Wednesday that Social Security will pay out $45 billion more in ben- Daily News Home Delivery Customers! efits this year than it will collect in payroll taxes, fur- ther straining the nation’s finances. The deficits will continue until the Social Security trust funds are eventually drained, in about 2037. Previously, CBO said Social Security would start running permanent deficits in 2016. In the short term, Social Security is suffering from a weak economy that has payroll taxes lagging and applications for benefits rising. In the long term, Social Security will be strained by the growing number of baby boomers retiring and applying for benefits.

The nation’s color- coded terror warning sys- tem will be phased out beginning this week, according to government officials familiar with the plan. The officials requested anonymity to speak ahead of an announcement scheduled Thursday by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. The Homeland Securi- ty Department and other government agencies have been reviewing the Homeland Security Advi- sory System’s usefulness for more than a year. One of the most notable changes to come: The public will no longer hear automated recordings at U.S. airports stating that the threat level is orange. The Obama adminis- tration will take the next three months to roll out a replacement, which will be called the National Terrorism Advisory Sys- tem. The new plan calls for notifying specific audiences about specific threats. In some cases, it might be a one-page threat description sent to law enforcement officials describing the threat, what law enforcement needs to do about it and what the federal govern- ment is doing, one of the officials said. Dow slips after rising above 12,000 NEW YORK (AP) — The Dow Jones industrial average broke through 12,000 for the first time in two and a half years Wednesday, but a late fade kept it from closing above that level.

Boeing fell 3 percent after saying its 2011 profits would be hurt by production delays. Xerox fell 8 percent after saying its profit margins were not increasing. The Dow gained 8.25 points, or 0.1 percent, to end at 11,985.4. It reached as high as 12,020 in morning trading. The last time the Dow closed above 12,000 was June 19, 2008, just as the financial crisis was wors- ening. Facebook to let advertisers re-publish check-ins NEW YORK (AP) — Facebook users who check in to a store or ‘‘like’’ a brand may soon find those actions re-transmitted on their friends’ pages as a ‘‘Sponsored Story’’ paid for by advertisers. Currently there is no way for users to decline this fea- ture. Facebook says this lets advertisers promote word- of-mouth recommendations that people already made on the site. The new, promoted posts would keep the same privacy setting that the orig- inal posting had. But involving users in advertisements without their consent has been a thorny for Facebook. Marc Rotenberg, executive direc- tor of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, says in this case Facebook is mak- ing money of a person’s name or likeness without their consent. He calls it ‘‘subtle and misleading’’ and says users should object. subscription to the Your FREE
