6B – Daily News – Thursday, April 29, 2010 Republicans poised to allow debate WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans set the stage Wednesday to lift their blockade against legislation to tighten regulations on Wall Street, opening a road to likely passage for the most sweeping rewrite since the Great Depression. GOP lawmakers said they would now try to change the bill on the Sen- ate floor. Democrats said the Republicans simply had realized they were losing the battle for public opinion. Earlier in the day, Republican senators had blocked the beginning of floor debate for a third straight day, contending they needed more time to try to work out compromis- es with Democrats in pri- vate talks. Republicans hud- dled in the late afternoon on ATTENTION LICENSED CONTRACTORS! The Daily News is publishing the 2010 Contractors Guide Tehama County Information provided by the State of California.

Crews to set fire to spill OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) — It’s a hellish scene: Giant sheets of flame racing across the Gulf of Mexico as thick, black smoke bil- lows high into sky. Hollywood action movie. It’s the real-life plan to be deployed just 20 miles from the Gulf Coast in a last-ditch effort to burn up an oil spill before it could wash ashore and wreak environmental havoc. The Coast Guard planned to use hand-held flares to set fire to sec- tions of the massive spill. Crews turned to the tech- nique after failing to stop a 1,000-barrel-a-day leak at the spot where a deep- water oil platform explod- ed and sank. A 500-foot boom was to be used to corral sever- al thousand gallons of the thickest oil on the surface, which will then be towed to a more remote area, set on fire, and allowed to burn for about an hour. The Coast Guard ini- tially said the fires would be started by midday, but officials later postponed the operation until late afternoon or early evening. About 42,000 gallons of oil a day are leaking into the Gulf from the blown-out well drilled by the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. Eleven workers are missing and presumed dead. The cause of the explosion has not been determined. Democrats’ immigration bill calls for benchmarks WASHINGTON (AP) — An emerging immigra- tion proposal by three Democratic senators calls for more federal enforce- ment agents and other border security-tightening benchmarks before illegal immigrants could become legal U.S. residents. Those goals ‘‘must be met before action can be taken to adjust the status of people already in the United States illegally,’’ according to a copy of the draft legislation, obtained Wednesday by The Asso- ciated Press, that Sens. Harry Reid of Nevada, Charles Schumer of New York and Robert Menen- dez are developing. The benchmarks include additional Border Patrol officers and Immi- gration and Customs Enforcement agents to combat smuggling; more ICE inspectors at work sites; an increased num- ber of ICE officers assigned to detect fraudu- lent documents, and bet- ter ways to determine fakes; more personnel to Patsy Cline Sweet Dreams State Theatre Presents...

Lenience for religious symbols on public land WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court’s conservative majority sig- naled a greater willing- ness to allow religious symbols on public land Wednesday, a stance that could have important implications for future church-state disputes. By a 5-4 vote, the court refused to order the removal of a congression- ally endorsed war memor- ial cross from its longtime home atop a remote rocky outcropping in Califor- nia’s Mohave Desert. The court directed a federal judge to look again at Congress’ plan to transfer the patch of U.S. land beneath the 7-foot- tall cross made of metal pipe to private ownership. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Now Enrolling Children Recently expanded and moved near Bidwell Elementary License # 525405817 (530) 209-8743 My qualifications include: B.A. in Elementary Education and experience teaching grades K-8.
