4B – Daily News – Friday, April 23, 2010 WORLD BRIEFING Burning oil rig sinks, setting stage for spill NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A deepwater oil platform that burned for more than day after a massive explosion sank into the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday, creating the potential for a major spill as it underscored the slim chances that the 11 workers still missing sur- vived. The sinking of the Deepwater Horizon, which burned violently until the gulf itself extinguished the fire, could unleash more than 300,000 of gallons of crude a day into the water. The environmental hazards would be greatest if the spill were to reach the Louisiana coast, some 50 miles away. Crews searched by air and water for the missing workers, hoping they had managed to reach a lifeboat, but one relative said family members have been told it’s unlikely any of the missing survived Tuesday night’s blast. More than 100 workers escaped the explosion and fire; four were critically injured. Carolyn Kemp of Monterey, La., said her grandson, Roy Wyatt Kemp, 27, was among the miss- ing. She said he would have been on the drilling platform when it exploded. ‘‘They’re assuming all those men who were on the platform are dead,’’ Kemp said. ‘‘That’s the last we’ve heard.’’ Obama ratchets up pressure for financial fix NEW YORK (AP) — Presi- dent Barack Obama rebuked Wall Street for risky practices Thursday even as he sought its leaders’ help for ‘‘updated, commonsense’’ banking regulations to head off any new financial crisis. ‘‘Ultimately there is no divid- ing line between Main Street and Wall Street. We rise or we fall together as one nation. So I urge you to join me,’’ said in a high- stakes speech near the nation’s BENNY BROWN’S financial hub. His audience included some of the nation’s most influential bankers. The president acknowledged differences of opinion over how to best protect bailout-weary taxpay- ers but denounced criticism from some Republicans who claim a Democratic-sponsored bill headed for Senate action would encour- age rather than discourage future bailouts of huge banks. ‘‘That makes for a good sound bite, but it’s not factually accurate. It is not true,’’ Obama said to scat- tered applause. ‘‘In fact, the sys- tem as it stands — the system as it stands is what led to a series of massive, costly taxpayer bailouts.’’ He said the overhaul legislation would put a stop to such bailouts. Obama’s speech came at a del- icate time in negotiations over the Senate measure, which could be debated next week. The House has passed its own version of financial overhaul legislation. Obama did not say which one he favored but told an audience that included dozens of financial lead- ers ‘‘both bills represent signifi- cant improvement on the flawed rules we have in place today.’’ Army rescinds invitation to evangelist WASHINGTON (AP) — Evangelist Franklin Graham’s invitation to speak at a Pentagon prayer service has been rescinded because his comments about Islam were inappropriate, the Army said Thursday. Graham, the son famed evan- gelist Billy Graham, in 2001 described Islam as evil. More recently, he has said he finds Islam offensive and wants Muslims to know that Jesus Christ died for their sins. Army spokesman Col. Tom Collins said Graham’s remarks were ‘‘not appropriate.’’ ‘‘We’re an all-inclusive mili- tary,’’ Collins said. ‘‘We honor all faiths. ... Our message to our ser- vice and civilian work force is about the need for diversity and appreciation of all faiths.’’ fine will be middle class as Obama’s comprehensive law is phased in over the next few years. In his 2008 campaign for the White House, Obama pledged not to raise taxes on individuals mak- ing less than $200,000 a year and couples making less than $250,000. Republicans have criticized the requirement that Americans get coverage, even though the idea was originally proposed by the GOP in the 1990s and is part of the Massachusetts health care plan signed into law in 2006 by then Gov. Mitt Romney, a Republican. Attorneys general in more than a dozen states are working to chal- lenge it in federal court as uncon- stitutional. ‘‘The individual mandate tax The Military Religious Free- dom Foundation had raised the objection to Graham’s appear- ance, citing his past remarks about Islam. Lawsuit against pope, Vatican reveals more correspondence MILWAUKEE (AP) — The case of a Wisconsin priest accused of preying on boys at a school for the deaf was presented to the Vat- ican by one of the victims a year earlier than previously thought, according to documents revealed Thursday in another lawsuit aimed at the highest levels of the Roman Catholic Church. A man identified in the lawsuit as ‘‘John Doe 16’’ of Illinois wrote a March 5, 1995, letter to then- Vatican Secretary of State Angelo Sodano alleging that the Rev. Lawrence Murphy molested him for a number of years. Previously, it was believed that the Vatican first learned of the allegations against Murphy in a July 1996 let- ter from Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland. Murphy, who died in 1998, is accused of sexually abusing some 200 boys at the school from 1950 to 1974. His case drew renewed scrutiny after the recent release of CHEVROLET-BUICK CORNING ON SELECT CHEVY & BUICK MODELS SEE STORE FOR DETAILS. 0% APR FOR 72 MOS.* 4X4!

Doe 16’s letter was released by his attorney, Jeff Anderson of St. Paul, Minn., who provided a copy of a receipt showing the registered letter had reached the Vatican. The man wrote Sodano again and got no response, according to Ander- son. The Vatican dismissed the law- suit as a publicity stunt that is entirely without merit and rehash- es theories already rejected by U.S. courts. Nearly 4M will pay penalty if they fail to get health insurance WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly 4 million Americans — the vast majority of them middle class — will have to pay a penalty if they don’t get insurance when President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law kicks in, accord- ing to congressional estimates released Thursday. The penalties will average a lit- tle more than $1,000 apiece in 2016, the Congressional Budget Office said in a report. Most of the people paying the will fall hardest on Americans who can least afford to pay it, many of whom were promised subsidies by the Democrats and who the president has promised would not pay higher taxes,’’ said Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan, the top Republican on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Commit- tee. Tanning bed tax turning the heat DENVER (AP) — It’s prime season for tanning beds, when proms and spring beach vacations prompt young women to pack indoor salons in search of bronze skin to go with their new bikinis. But business is slow this spring. Health warnings about the skin cancer risks of tanning beds, combined with consumers forgo- ing nonessentials in this recession, have the nation’s estimated 18,000 tanning salons on hard times. Now they’re bracing for another hit: A 10 percent tax on tanning bed use starts nationwide this July, part of the federal health care overhaul. ‘‘Will I be here next year? I don’t know,’’ said Kristi Alpers, owner of Cherry Creek Tans in Denver. The tax will add 90 cents to a few dollars for a single tan- ning session, depending on the machine. It’s a fee she thinks will bankrupt her. ‘‘They’re trying to ban tanning totally. That’s what this is about.’’ 977 CORNING CORNING AND SAVE! DEAL IN CHEVROLET TAG SPECIAL RED
