The Schwarzenegger administration on Wednesday dusted off a failed dam proposal as a way to shore up California water supplies in light of a federal judge's ruling limiting shipments from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. But it seemed doubtful that the Democrat-controlled Legislature - long-opposed to new dams - would go along in the waning days of its 2007 session.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Mexican President Vicente Fox told business leaders Friday that his country's re-engineered financial markets and competitive labor costs create a powerful investment opportunity.
