8A Daily News – Wednesday, January 16, 2013 WORLD BRIEFING NY passes nation's 1st gun control law since Conn. massacre ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York's Assembly on Tuesday easily passed the toughest gun control law in the nation and the first since the Newtown, Conn., school shooting, calling for a tougher assault weapons ban and provisions to try to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill who make threats. Gov. Andrew Cuomo pushed hard for the bill, which passed the Senate on Monday night. He is expected to quickly sign the measure into law. ''This is a scourge on society,'' Cuomo said Monday night, six days after making gun control a centerpiece of his State of the State address. The bipartisan effort was fueled by the Newtown tragedy that took the lives of 20 first graders and six educators. ''At what point do you say, 'No more innocent loss of life'?'' The measure, which passed the Assembly 10443, also calls for restrictions on ammunition and the sale of guns. ''This is not about taking anyone's rights away,'' said Sen. Jeffrey Klein, a Bronx Democrat, when the bill passed the Senate late Monday night. ''It's about a safe society ... today we are setting the mark for the rest of the county to do what's right.'' 741 Main Street, Suite #2 Red Bluff, CA 96080 1-800-287-2187 (530) 527-2187 C & C PROPERTIES An Independently owned and operated Member of Coldwell Banker Residential Affiliates.

But the scope of such measures is limited. The steps could include ordering stricter action against people who lie on gun sale background checks, seeking to ensure more complete records in the federal background check database, striking limits on federal research into gun use, ordering tougher penalties against gun trafficking, and giving schools flexibility to use grant money to improve safety. Obama will unveil his proposals Wednesday, barely over a month since the massacre of 20 children and Prop Code CB437 Prop Code CB443 Prop Code CB439 Prop Code CB489 Prop Code CB442 Prop Code CB400 Prop Code CB407 Prop Code CB409 Prop Code CB416 Prop Code CB440 Prop Code CB415 Prop Code CB438 Prop Code CB432 Prop Code CB402 Prop Code CB424 Prop Code CB417 Prop Code CB401 six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., thrust the gun issue into the national spotlight after years of inaction by Obama and lawmakers. The White House said Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will be joined at Wednesday's announcement by children who wrote the president letters after the Newtown shooting. Supportive lawmakers and advocacy groups are also expected to attend. Obama is vowing not to back off his support for sweeping gun legislation that would require congressional backing — including banning assault weapons, limiting the capacity of ammunition magazines and instituting universal background checks — despite opposition from the influential gun lobby. Blasts at Aleppo university kill more than 8 BEIRUT (AP) — Twin blasts inside a university campus in Syria's largest city on Tuesday set cars ablaze, blew the walls off dormitory rooms and left more than 80 people dead, anti-regime activists said. What caused the blasts remained unclear. Anti-regime activists trying to topple President Bashar Assad's regime said his forces carried out two airstrikes. Syrian state media, for its part, blamed rebels fighting the Syrian government, saying they fired rockets that struck the campus. Aleppo, Syria's largest city and a commercial capital, has been harshly contested since rebel forces, mostly from rural areas north of the city, pushed in and began clashing with government troops last See All Tehama County Listings at www.redbluffcoldwellbanker.com TEHAMA COUNTY REAL ESTATE TEAM • OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK summer.

Facebook Train crash unveils new that leaves 19 search dead, 100 feature injured MENLO PARK (AP) — BADRASHEEN, Egypt (AP) — Packed in a rickety train speeding through the night, the poorly fed, pale-looking JUST MOVE IT Part of a national campaign to promote physical activity for American Indians and Alaskan Natives FRIDAY, JANUARY 18 TH 11:30 AM Egyptian conscripts were coming from some of Egypt's most dirt-poor villages to serve in one of the most miserable, lowly jobs of the security forces — as grunts in an anti-riot force usually deployed against protesters. At a station just outside of Cairo before dawn Tuesday, the train's last car jumped the track, slammed into a parked train, and then was dragged for several kilometers. The car was torn to pieces, young recruits were sent flying along the tracks, and others were mangled. In the end, 19 recruits mostly in their early 20s were killed and more than 100 were injured, some with arms or legs torn off. The accident was the latest example of Egypt's decrepit infrastructure turning lethal for the country's poorest — and a reminder that the revolution two years ago has brought no relief in the lives of a population where poverty is worsening. The crash brought a new wave of anger at Islamist President Mohammed Morsi for failing to carry out reforms or overhaul the country's crumbling public services. After daybreak Tuesday, a military helicopter hovering over the wreckage of the train enraged bystanders gathered at the site near Badrasheen station, 12 miles (20 kilometers) south of Cairo. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled a new search feature on Tuesday in the company's first staged event at its Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters since its May initial public offering. Called ''graph search,'' the new service lets users search their social connections for information about people, interests, photos and places. It'll help users who, for instance, want to scroll through all the photos their friends have taken in Paris or search for the favorite TV shows of all their friends who happen to be doctors.
