Stocks Fall Sharply on Oil Jitters; Dow Drops 228 Points to Close Below 12,000

The Dow closed below 12,000 on Thursday, slipping back under
the psychological barrier that it passed in late January.

Jitters about the oil market and the conflict in Libya, as
well as some disappointing economic news, served as a
reminder of the fragile nature of the global recovery.

At the close, the Dow Jones industrial average was down
228.48 points, or 1.87 percent, to 11,984.61. The Standard &
Poor's 500-stock index fell 24.91 points, or 1.89 percent, to
1,295.11. The Nasdaq fell 50.70, or 1.84 percent, to
2,701.02.

News Alert: Wisconsin Senate Advances Bill Opposed by Unions

Wisconsin Senate Advances Bill Opposed by Unions

Republicans in the Wisconsin Senate voted Wednesday night to
strip nearly all collective bargaining rights from public
workers after discovering a way to bypass the chamber's
missing Democrats.

All 14 Senate Democrats fled to Illinois nearly three weeks
ago, preventing the chamber from having enough members
present to consider Gov. Scott Walker's so-called "budget
repair bill" -- a proposal introduced to plug a $137 million
budget shortfall.

The Senate requires a quorum to take up any measures that
spend money. But Republicans on Wednesday split from the
legislation the proposal to curtail union rights, which
spends no money, and a special conference committee of state
lawmakers approved the bill a short time later.
