WASHINGTON — The Ebola virus’s ar-rival in New York City and yet anotherWest African nation — Mali — renewedquestions Friday about whether strictertravel restrictions would help lock downthe deadly disease. The governors of New

York and New Jersey went ahead and is-sued their own quarantine order.

There was good news, too, as one of thetwo American nurses who caught Ebolafrom a patient headed home from the hos-

pital, stopping by the White House toget a celebratory hug from PresidentBarack Obama. European nationspledged more money to fight the virusin Africa.

WASHINGTON — Sixty-five per-cent of Americans now say thethreat from the Islamic State groupis very or even extremely impor-tant, and nearly half think the U.S.military response in Iraq and Syriahas not gone far enough, accordingto an Associated Press-GfK poll.Most want to see America’s part-ners step up their contribution tothe fight,

Less than half, 43 percent, ap-prove of the way President BarackObama is handling the dangerposed by the extremist militants.

Greg Franke, 24, of Columbia,South Carolina, was among the 55percent of those who disapproved.Franke, a 24-year-old assistant edi-tor at a research library, said hethought Obama was too hesitant inresponding to the militants, whohave employed brutal tactics toswiftly seize territory.

“I understand the need to be hes-itant, but this was a group that wasmarching across parts of the MiddleEast, which is already unstable,”Franke said. “I think it warranted aswift and more decisive response.”

“I also think that his declarationthat U.S. troops would not be in-volved was premature,” he said. “Idon’t want U.S. troops involved. ButI don’t think we need to closedoors.”

A majority, 66 percent, favor theairstrikes the United States hasbeen launching against the mili-tants, yet 65 percent of those sur-veyed say Obama has not clearly ex-plained America’s goal in fightingthe Islamic State group. The presi-dent met with his national securityteam on Friday to discuss the Is-lamic State and talk via video tele-conference with U.S. officials at theAmerican Embassy in Baghdad andconsulates in Irbil and Basra.

AUSTIN — A frigate carryingFrench colonists to the NewWorld that sank in a storm offthe Texas coast more than 300years ago is being reassembledinto a display that archeologistshope will let people walk overthe hull and feel like they are onthe ship’s deck.

The 1686 wreck of the 54-footoak frigate La Belle — in an ex-pedition led by famed Mississip-pi River explorer Rene-RobertCavelier Sieur de La Salle — isblamed for dooming France’sfurther exploration of whatwould become Texas and theAmerican Southwest.

But La Salle’s short-lived FortSt. Louis near the shipwrecksite in Matagorda Bay, about 100

miles southwest of present-dayHouston, also convinced Spain

to boost its presence in the re-gion to ward off a feared French

territorial expansion.“In a very real way, it’s re-

sponsible for our Hispanic heri-tage we have today,” said JimBruseth, curator of the La Belleproject at the Bullock TexasState History Museum. “Theyhad nobody here, and it startedthe process of settling Texas.

“History oftentimes turns onseemingly small events,” Bru-seth said. “We have that actualship, the remains of it here,that’s the icon of that event.”

Beginning today, visitors tothe Austin museum will be ableto watch Bruseth and other ar-chaeologists put the wreckedship back together and talkwith them as they work. The re-assembly is expected to be com-plete by spring.

TODAY IN HISTORY

FORT WORTH, Texas — For years, theworry about monarch butterflies has focusedon the loss of habitat in their winter homein Mexico.

But as the butterflies make their waysouth through Texas this month, there’seven more concern about where they spendtheir summers.

The loss of habitat in the Upper Midwest’sCorn Belt has many worried about the mon-arch’s ability to keep making the 2,000-miletrek to Mexico each year. Every year, themonarchs overwinter in Mexico, then fly tothe southern United States, where they mateand produce a new generation of butterfliesbefore dying off.

Even with favorable weather conditionsthis year, the monarch population, which

ebbs and flows, isn’t looking good, said ChipTaylor, director of Monarch Watch and pro-fessor of ecology and evolutionary biology atthe University of Kansas.

“It’s an uptick, but it’s not a massive up-tick,” Taylor told the Fort Worth Star-Tele-gram. “What I’ve been predicting is a dou-bling of the population, but that’s still asmall population and one of the smallest onrecord.”

Last year, an all-time low of 0.67 hectares,or about 33 million monarchs, were docu-mented in the mountains west of MexicoCity. The average population of monarchs inthe last 20 years is about 6.39 hectares.

“What we really have to deal with is thehabitat issue,” Taylor said. “We’re losingover a million acres a year. If that trenddoesn’t stop, the population will continue todecline.”

BIXBY, Okla. — Soilpulled from horizontal di-rectional drilling at urbanconstruction sites can helpyour lawn, if used in theright amounts, according toresearch at Oklahoma StateUniversity.

In a first-of-its-kind study,Oklahoma State Universityis examining the use of thisconstruction byproduct as aland application.

So far Josh Daniels is en-couraged by the results. Da-niels, a research assistantand graduate student seek-ing a master’s degree, start-ed his work in the fall of2013. He expects to startwriting his results nextspring, The Journal Recordreported.

The research was recent-ly shared during a field dayat the Oklahoma State Uni-versity Vegetable ResearchStation in a rural area ofBixby. Representatives fromabout 20 construction con-tractors were there to learndetails about the effects ofspreading the urban hori-zontal directional drillingmud over their property.

The event was sponsoredby the Oklahoma State Uni-versity Division of Agricul-tural Sciences and NaturalResources, or DASNR.

Contractors routinelydrill under roads or build-ings to install utilities, fi-ber-optic cable, sewer linesor water lines. The soil thatis brought to the surfacemust be disposed of proper-ly, said Chad Penn, associ-ate professor of soil and en-vironmental chemistry.

The biggest concern forcontractors is how to dis-pose of the mud, Penn said.

Electrical contractorBrad Ritter said he alreadyspreads the mud on hisproperty to control erosion.

Ritter called the researchvaluable.

“If it proves that you canuse this, it will allow con-tractors to cut their costs,”Ritter told the group. “I seethe biggest challenge is con-vincing people it is notharmful.”

Last year, Daniels begancollecting samples of mudresulting from the horizon-tal directional drilling, orHDD. The samples camefrom across the UnitedStates.

Ben Bradlee, who hasdied at the age of 93, didnot so much edit TheWashington Post as leadit.

Other editors of thetimes would rewriteheadlines, cajole report-ers and senior editors,and try to put their im-print on everything theycould in the newspaper.That was not Bradlee’sway. His way was to hirethe best and leave it tothem.

Bradlee often left thebuilding before the firstedition “came up,” but itwas still his WashingtonPost: a big, successful,hugely influential news-paper with the imprima-tur of one man.

Bradlee looked, assome wag said, like aninternational jewel thief;someone you would ex-pect to see in one ofthose movies set in thesouth of France thatshowed off the beauty ofthe Mediterranean andbeauties in bikinis whilethe hero planned a greatheist.

I worked for Bradleefor four years and we all,to some degree, venerat-ed our leader. He hadreal charisma; we not on-ly wanted to please him,but also we wanted to beliked by him.

Bradlee was accessiblewithout losing authority;he was all over the news-room, calling people bytheir first names andsometimes by their nick-names, without surren-dering any of the powerof his office. He was aneditor who worked morelike a movie directorrather than the tradition-ally detached editors Ihad known in New Yorkand London.

The irritation at thepaper — and there al-ways is some — was notso much that Bradleewas a different kind ofeditor, but that he had ahabit, in his endlesssearch for talent, of hir-ing new people and for-getting, or not knowing,the amazing talent al-ready on the payroll.

The Post was a magnetfor gifted journalists, butonce hired, there wereonly so many plum jobsfor them to do. Peoplewho expected greatthings of their time atthe paper were frustrat-ed when relegated to asuburban bureau, orobliged to write obitu-aries for obscure people.

Yet we knew we wereputting out a very goodpaper and, in some ways,the best paper in theUnited States. This leadto a faux rivalry withThe New York Times.Unlike today, very fewcopies of The Times weresold in Washington, andeven fewer Washington

Posts were sold in NewYork.

Much has been madeof Bradlee’s fortitude,along with that of thepublisher, KatherineGraham, in standingstrong throughout theWatergate investigationthat led to President Nix-on’s registration. Butthere was another monu-mental achievement inthe swashbuckling Bra-dlee years: the creationof the Style section of thenewspaper.

When Style first ap-peared, sweeping awaythe old women’s pages, itwent off like a bomb inWashington. It was vi-brant, rude and broughta kind of writing, mostnotably by Nicholas vonHoffman, which had nev-er been seen in a majornewspaper: pungent,acerbic, and choking oninvective. Soon it wasimitated in every paperin America.

The man who createdStyle was David Laven-thol, who came downfrom New York to fash-ion something new injournalism. Laventholwas a newspaper me-chanic without equal,but Bradlee was the geni-us who hired him.

When I worked at ThePost, I interacted a lotwith Bradlee; partly be-cause we enjoyed it, andpartly because it was thenature of the work. Iknew a lot about newspa-per production in thedays of hot type and heaffected not to. That gaveBradlee the opportunityto exercise one of hismost winning traits: dis-arming candor. “I don’tknow what’s going onhere,” he said one franticelection night in thecomposing room.

But when it came tobig decisions, Bradleeknew his own mind tothe exclusion of the restof the staff. The nervecenter of a newspaper isthe editorial conference— usually, there are twoevery day. The first con-ference is to plan the pa-per; the second is a real-ity check on what is new,and how the day is shap-ing up.

At these conferences,Bradlee would listenfrom behind his desk.But when he disagreedwith the nine assistantmanaging editors, andothers who needed to bethere, he would put hisfeet on the desk, utter anexpletive and cutthrough fuzzy conversa-tion like a scimitar intosoft tissue. As we mightsay nowadays, he hadstreet smarts. They wereinvaluable to his editor-ship and to his charm.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR POLICY CLASSIC DOONESBURY | GARRY TRUDEAU

AUSTIN — The city ofAustin’s investigation ofBuddha is over. He loses.He’s being evicted from acity park.

“We’ve got some notgood news,” Charles Vacla-vik of the Parks and Recre-ation Department told me.Looks like the founding fa-thers might share someblame in this.

“Buddha has to go be-cause of constitutional con-sequences. If we allow oneperson to put a religiousstatue or a statue of anytype, then it opens the doorfor everyone to be able toput a statue,” Vaclavik saidbefore referring me to thecity legal department,which funneled my inquiryto city spokesman KyleCarvell.

Carvell dutifully told methat the legal department“routinely provides legaladvice to its clients, whichincludes city employeesand departments.” So that’sgood to know. He did notethe city bars people fromleaving personal propertyin parks. Buddha, in thiscase, is personal property.

Back in August, I toldyou about the Buddhabrouhaha surrounding the18-inch-high, garden-sup-ply-store-bought statue thathad become something of a

beloved landmark in BigStacy Park in South Aus-tin’s Travis Heights neigh-borhood. And I told youabout how the statue — pri-vately placed without re-quired city permission —had hit officialdoms’ radar.

And I told you how thecity’s lawyers were lookinginto whether Buddhashould face eviction.

Buddha was placed inthe park in honor of HaroldDean Henderson, an Austi-nite who died in November2004. The 62-year-old Hen-derson was, according tohis obit, involved in “artconsulting, book sales andwriting, but his career didnot define him.” Instead,we were told, his “life questwas for truth, communionwith others and love offamily and friends.”

In lieu of flowers, thefamily and friends askedfor donations to establish agarden in Henderson’smemory in an Austin park.Frances Ferguson, his ex-wife, and Bonnie Hender-son, his sister, spearheaded

the effort, which includesbotany, a bench and Budd-ha. Harold Henderson wasnot Buddhist, Fergusonsaid, but Buddha represent-ed how he lived.

Ferguson told me thisweek that she and BonnieHenderson are at peacewith the decision, commu-nicated in a letter to Fergu-son from Sara Hensley, thecity’s parks and rec direc-tor. Despite what Vaclaviktold me and what Fergusonwas led to believe, the let-ter makes no mention ofthe religious nature of thestatue.

I’ve asked for the city’sinternal correspondence onthis. I’ll report back if I getit.

The Sept. 26 letter saysthis Buddha is “abandonedproperty” left in a publicplace for more than 48 con-tinuous hours. That, andpardon my mixed religiousreference, is not kosher un-der city rules.

“Accordingly, if you donot remove the statue inthe next 30 days, it will beremoved by Parks and Rec-reation Department staff,”Hensley wrote. “Recogniz-ing that you are interestedin a memorial for your latehusband, we are open todiscussing an official me-morial bench in the park.”

Ferguson is OK with thedecision.

“Yes,” she said. “We’vebeen notified by the ParksDepartment that the citycannot approve the Budd-ha, which is certainly un-derstandable given the im-portance of the separationof church and state. We hadthought of him as a symbolof peace, serenity and lovebut understand that, formany, he is a symbol of re-ligion.”

Ferguson said Buddhawill be moved to either herhome or Bonnie Hender-son’s.

“We’re glad that so manyfolks have enjoyed himthere for all these yearsand hope they’ll continueto enjoy Harold Hender-son’s memorial bench andplantings as a peaceful spotin the park,” she added.

Wow, who knew thereare Austinites who don’t in-stinctively react to adversegovernmental decisions byhiring a lawyer and head-ing to the courthouse?

I’m glad they under-stand. I think Harold Hen-derson also would. And Iguess we’ll find out ifBuddha is upset.

If you’ve ever grumbledabout paying for all thosecable or satellite channelswhen you only watch ahandful, last week broughtpotentially big news.

Television networksHBO and CBS separatelyannounced they plan to of-fer an online version oftheir products that wouldbe available to consumerseven if they didn’t sub-scribe to cable or satellite.

CBS and other major

networks already offer sucha product, of course. It’s theover-the-air signal that’sfree to anyone who can cap-ture it with a TV antenna.

Until now, if you wantedto watch non-OTA net-works, you had to purchasethem along with dozens tohundreds of other channelsas part of that cable or sat-ellite subscription.

TV providers and net-works liked it this way be-cause the subscription bun-dle approach made themgobs of money.

So why are at least twonetworks changing theirmind?

What happened wastechnology and the freemarket. Specifically, Netflix.The video rental companycapitalized on the availabil-ity of faster Internet down-load speeds to sell access tothousands of movies andtelevision shows shortly af-ter they appeared in thea-ters and on networks.

Most importantly, Netflixmade gobs of money doingit. That’s apparently either

given networks the courageto dabble in the onlinemodel, or fear that theymight be left behind asviewing habits continue tochange.

HBO has yet to offer asubscription price for itsnetwork, and there’s noword yet if other networkswill follow. But choiceseems to be on the way forconsumers, who’ve con-vinced at least a couple net-works to try giving themwhat they want, without alot of what they don’t.

WASHINGTON — Itwas a hug with a message.

In an Oval Office “photoop” Friday, President Ba-rack Obama embraced Ni-na Pham, a Dallas nursewho had been infectedwith Ebola. Pham had justbeen released from the Na-tional Institutes of Healthafter being cleared of thevirus.

Accompanied by familymembers, Pham, one ofthe nurses who treatedEbola victim Thomas Dun-can at Texas Health Pres-byterian Hospital in Dal-las, also met with federalhealth officials Friday.

The photo, clearlyaimed to subdue fearsabout the transmission ofEbola, came on the sameday the House Oversightand Government Reformcommittee aggressivelygrilled public health offi-cials and other federalagency leaders on CapitolHill about the governmentresponse to the U.S. out-break.

Chairman Darrell Issa,R-Calif., criticized the mis-steps in the treatment ofDuncan, challenging thatThomas Frieden, directorof the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention,provided false informationthat a health care worker’sneck could be exposedwhen treating an Ebolapatient.

Both Pham and AmberVinson, another Dallasnurse who contracted Ebo-la and has been cured,were not wearing theCDC- recommended pro-tective gear to limit expo-sure when caring for Dun-can.

“We’re relying on proto-cols from someone who’sproven not to be correct,”Issa said at the hearing.

Deborah Burger, a regis-tered nurse and co-presi-

dent of the National Nurs-es United, testified at thehearing, urging membersof Congress to pass legisla-tion or for Obama to useexecutive orders to man-date federal uniform stan-dards for all health careworkers treating patientswith Ebola.

She stressed that CDCguidelines for the 5,000U.S. hospitals are “mere-ly” recommendations thathospitals can choose ifthey want to follow.

According to a NationalNurses United survey ofmore than 3,000 nursesfrom about 1,000 U.S. hos-pitals, about 68 percent ofnurses haven’t receivedany policies about how totreat Ebola patients fromtheir hospitals.

“No matter how goodthe guidelines and inten-tions are, Congress needsto step up and do what’sright to have frontlinecaregivers have mandato-ry optimal standards forprotective gear and train-ing,” Burger said at thehearing.

Rep. Blake Farenthold,R-Corpus Christi, and oth-er committee members al-so questioned Obama’s re-cent decision to appointRon Klain, a former Dem-ocratic chief of staff and

lawyer, as the so-calledEbola czar. He suggestedthe president’s choice wasa “political” move, andthat it would have beenbetter to select a personwith a medical or publichealth background.

Issa noted that Klainand an official from theWorld Health Organiza-tion were invited to testifyat the hearing, but de-clined.

“I think (Klain) needs tobe here,” Farenthold saidat the hearing, adding thatCongress is “the one thatsigned the checks to fightEbola,” recently grantingthe Pentagon’s emergencyrequest to send $750 mil-lion of war funds to fightthe outbreak in West Afri-ca.

Adding to the skepti-cism and fear of commit-tee members, John Roth,U.S. inspector general forthe Homeland SecurityDepartment, testifiedabout his August audit ofthe department. He report-ed that in 2006, DHS spent$9.5 million on pandemicprotective equipmentwithout citing its needsand nearly $7 million onantiviral drugs withoutspecifying the types andamounts needed to be pur-chased.

NEW YORK — Alarmedby the case of an Ebola-in-fected New York doctor, thegovernors of New Jerseyand New York on Fridayordered a mandatory, 21-day quarantine for all med-ical workers and other ar-riving travelers who havehad contact with victims ofthe deadly disease in WestAfrica.

The move came after aNew York City physicianwho returned to the U.S. aweek ago from treatingEbola patients in Guineafell ill with the virus. ManyNew Yorkers were dismay-ed to learn that after hecame home, Dr. Craig Spen-cer rode the subway, took acab, went bowling, visited acoffee shop and ate at a res-taurant in the city of 8 mil-lion.

New Jersey Gov. ChrisChristie and New York Gov.Andrew Cuomo said thecase led them to concludethat the two states needprecautions more rigorousthan those of the U.S. Cen-ters for Disease Controland Prevention, which rec-ommends monitoring of ex-posed people for 21 daysbut doesn’t require quaran-tine, in which they are keptaway from others.

“It’s too serious a situa-tion to leave it to the honorsystem of compliance,” Cu-omo said.

Those who are forciblyquarantined will be con-fined either to their homesor, if they live in otherstates, to some other place,most likely a medical facil-ity, the governors said.Those quarantined at homewill receive calls fromhealth officials. Twenty-onedays is the incubation peri-od for the Ebola virus.

Dr. Howard Zucker, act-ing New York state healthcommissioner, said anymedical personnel whohave treated Ebola patientsin the three Ebola-ravagedWest African countries —Sierra Leone, Guinea andLiberia — will be automat-ically quarantined.

Cuomo said anyone ar-riving from the three coun-tries will be questioned atthe airport about their con-tact with Ebola patients.

The two governors gaveno estimate of how many

travelers would be subjectto quarantine, but Cuomosaid “we’re not talkingabout a tremendous volumeof people coming in fromthese areas,” and addedthat there are no plans tohire more screeners at air-ports.

The two states are hometo Kennedy Airport and Ne-wark Liberty in New Jer-sey, both major internation-al portals.

Spencer’s illness led law-makers on Capitol Hill, sci-entists and ordinary NewYorkers to wonder why hewas out after his returnfrom West Africa — andwhy stronger steps weren’tbeing taken to quarantinemedical workers.

Health officials said thathe followed U.S. and inter-national guidelines inchecking his temperatureevery day and watching forsymptoms, and that he putno one at risk. But otherssaid he should have beenquarantined — either vol-untarily or by the govern-ment — during the incuba-tion period.

An automatic three-weekquarantine makes sense foranyone “with a clear expo-sure” to Ebola, said Dr.Richard Wenzel, a VirginiaCommonwealth Universityscientist who formerly ledthe International Societyfor Infectious Diseases.

Aid organizations suchas Doctors Without Bor-ders, the group Spencerwas working for, have ar-gued that mandatory quar-

antines are unnecessary be-cause people with Ebolaaren’t contagious untilsymptoms begin, and eventhen it requires close con-tact with body fluids.

Also, aid organizationshave warned that manyhealth care volunteerswouldn’t go to Ebola hotzones if they knew theywould be confined to theirhomes for three weeks afterthey got back.

Spencer, a 33-year-oldemergency room doctor, re-turned from Guinea on Oct.17 and sought treatmentThursday after sufferingdiarrhea and a 100.3-degreefever. He was listed in sta-ble condition at an isolationunit at Bellevue HospitalCenter, and a decontamina-tion company was sent tohis Harlem home. His fian-cee, who was not showingsymptoms, was beingwatched in a quarantineward at Bellevue.

On the streets of NewYork, Michael Andersonwas critical of the U.S. gov-ernment and Spencer.

“He’s stupid, a completeidiot” for moving about inpublic, the longtime Man-hattan resident said atGrand Central Station. “It’shis responsibility when youcome back from Africa” notto put people at risk.

Cuomo, too, was criticalof Spencer, saying he did“great work” as a volunteer,but adding: “He’s a doctorand even he didn’t followthe voluntary quarantine.Let’s be honest.”

Nearly 4,900 people havedied in the Ebola outbreak,most of them in Guinea,Liberia and Sierra Leone.

In other developments:One of the two Dallas

nurses who caught Ebolafrom a patient was declaredvirus-free and releasedfrom a hospital in Bethes-da, Maryland. Nina Pham,26, said she felt “fortunateand blessed to be standinghere today.” She later metwith President Barack Oba-ma at the White House. Theother nurse, Amber Vinson,is in an Atlanta hospital,where she was said to“making good progress.”

Millions of doses oftwo experimental Ebolavaccines could be ready foruse in 2015, and five moreexperimental vaccines willstart being tested in March,the World Health Organiza-tion said.

In Mali, which report-ed its first case this week,authorities warned thatmany people are in dangerbecause the toddler whobrought the disease to thecountry was bleeding fromher nose as she traveled ona bus from Guinea.

The World Health Organ-ization is not recommend-ing the quarantine of re-turning aid workers with-out symptoms, according tospokeswoman Sona Bari.

“Health care workers aregenerally self-monitoringand are aware of the needto report any symptoms, asthis patient did,” she wrotein an email.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. —Remains found nearly a week agoin a rural area of Virginia arethose of a university student whodisappeared last month, author-ities said Friday, ending a searchby thousands that took weeks andleft the campus and communityon edge.

University of Virginia sopho-more Hannah Graham, 18, disap-peared Sept. 13 after a night outwith friends. The remains werefound Oct. 18 about 12 miles fromthe Charlottesville campus, in aheavily wooded area of AlbemarleCounty that is home to rollinghills and horse farms.

The state Medical Examiner’soffice confirmed that the remainswere Graham’s, the AlbermarleCounty Police Department said ina statement.

The man Graham was last seenwith, 32-year-old Jesse Leroy Mat-thew Jr., has been charged withabduction with intent to defileGraham. His attorney, Jim Cam-blos, said in a voicemail greetingthat he is not answering questionsabout the case.

The remains were discoveredroughly 6 miles from where thebody of 20-year-old Virginia Techstudent Morgan Harrington wasfound after she vanished in 2009.Police have said forensic evidenceconnects Matthew to Harrington’skilling, which in turn is linked byDNA to a 2005 sexual assault innorthern Virginia. Matthew hasbeen charged in the 2005 case.

“When we started this journeytogether we all hoped for a hap-pier ending. Sadly that was not tobe,” Graham’s parents, John andSue Graham, said in a statementprovided by the police depart-ment. “We are devastated by theloss of our beautiful daughter. ...Although we have lost our pre-

cious Hannah, the light she radi-ated can never be extinguished.”

Graham’s parents also thankedthose involved with the investiga-tion and search efforts — singlingout Charlottesville Police ChiefTim Longo for his “tenacity anddetermination — as well as thosewho have sent messages of sup-port. They said they don’t intendto make further statements orcomment on the ongoing criminalinvestigation.

Longo, who became the publicface of the investigation throughemotional pleas for the public’shelp finding Graham, did not im-mediately respond to a telephonecall seeking comment.

Albemarle County Common-wealth’s Attorney Denise Luns-ford said in a statement that thefocus of the investigation now isto determine “what charges willbe brought and the appropriatetime to make those charges.”

Graham’s disappearanceprompted many University of Vir-ginia students to begin walking inpairs or groups at night. Also, theuniversity expanded a ride ser-vice for its students.

“For Hannah’s young life toend so tragically, and for her desti-ny of promise to be left unful-filled, is an affront to the sanctityof life and to the natural order ofhuman events,” university Presi-dent Teresa A. Sullivan said in astatement Friday evening. “Thisis a sorrowful day in the life ofthe university, and our entirecommunity is grieving with theGraham family.”

Carli Sapir, a fourth-year envi-ronmental engineering student,lived only a half-block away fromHannah’s residence at U.Va.

“This conclusion wasn’t theconclusion we were hoping for,”she said. “Of course we all had ahope that even after all this time

that they would find her living.It’s pretty devastating.”

Sapir, from Long Valley, NewJersey, said her apartment is onlya 30-second walk from Hannah’son 14th and 15th streets in Char-lottesville.

“Even though I didn’t know herpersonally, it’s crazy that some-thing so bad could happen to oneof our fellow students,” she said.

Graham met friends at a res-taurant for dinner Sept. 12 beforestopping by two off-campus par-ties. She left the second partyalone and eventually texted afriend saying she was lost, author-ities said.

In surveillance video, she canbe seen walking unsteadily andeven running at times, past a puband a service station and then on-to a seven-block strip of bars, res-taurants and shops.

Matthew was an operatingroom technician at the universi-

ty’s hospital. He was also a for-mer college football lineman andsometimes cab driver.

Friends have said they wereshocked the “gentle giant” — he’s6-foot-2 and weighs 270 pounds —could be suspected of such vio-lence.

Matthew was co-captain of hishigh school football team and en-rolled in psychology at evangelistJerry Falwell’s Liberty University,where he played on the defensiveline for the Flames.

His college career took a sharpwrong turn in his junior year,when a fellow student accusedMatthew of raping her. Matthewwithdrew from Liberty on Oct. 17,2002 — hours after a reported sex-ual assault behind the university’ssports arena. Prosecutors said thecase was dropped when the wom-an declined to press charges.

Matthew returned to school inJanuary 2003, enrolling at Chris-topher Newport University insoutheast Virginia. He joinedtheir football team that August,but on Sept. 7, 2003, a fellow stu-dent accused him of sexual as-sault on the Newport News cam-pus. Five days after the attack,Matthew dropped off the team ros-ter; a month later, he was gone.

University spokesman BruceBronstein said the matter wasthoroughly investigated and thevictim decided not to press charg-es.

The victim in the 2005 rape inthe Washington, D.C., suburbs iscooperating with authorities, Fair-fax County Commonwealth’s At-torney Ray Morrogh has said. Ac-cording to police, a 26-year-oldwoman was walking home fromthe grocery store about 10 p.m. ona Saturday night when she wasgrabbed from behind, dragged in-to a wooded area behind sometownhomes, and sexually assault-ed. The man fled the area whenhe was startled by a passerby.

MARYSVILLE, Wash. —A student opened fire Fri-day in a high school cafete-ria north of Seattle, killingat least one person andshooting several others inthe head before killinghimself, officials said.

Students in the cafeteriasaid the gunman stared atthe students as he shotthem. They described achaotic scene at MarysvillePilchuck High School, aspanicked students ran forsafety.

Student Alan Perez toldKING-TV he was eating hislunch near the gunmanwhen he heard the shots.

“He had a little gun inhis hand. I saw the flashfrom the muzzle,” Perezsaid.

Another student, AustinTaylor, told the station theshooter “was just staringdown every one of his vic-tims as he shot them.”

Cedar Parker, a 17-year-old senior, told The Associ-ated Press he was drivingaway from campus forlunch when he saw stu-dents running and tryingto jump a fence. Parker letseveral into his car. Heheard other students yell-ing for their friends:“Where are you?”

Parker said choosing notto eat in the cafeteria savedhis life.

The shooter was a stu-dent at the school 30 milesnorth of Seattle, but Marys-ville Police CommanderRobb Lamoureux said hecould not provide more in-formation on the gunmanor his motive.

Lamoureux said theshooter died of a self-inflict-ed wound.

Brian Patrick said hisdaughter, a freshman, was

in the cafeteria 10 feet fromthe gunman when theshooting occurred. She ranfrom the cafeteria and im-mediately called her moth-er.

Patrick said his daugh-ter told him, ’The guywalked into the cafeteria,pulled out a gun and start-ed shooting. No arguing, noyelling.”

His other daughter, a se-nior at the school, calledhim ‘hysterical’ from herclassroom, Patrick said.

“I thought, ‘God let mykids be safe,” he said.

Four students were tak-en to Providence Everettmedical center, said hospi-tal spokeswoman HeidiAmrine. Three were in “ve-ry critical” condition. Itwas not immediately clearif the person who died wasone of those students.

Harborview MedicalCenter in Seattle said it re-ceived a 14-year-old malestudent, who was listed inserious condition.

After the attack, a crowdof parents waited in a park-ing lot outside a nearbychurch where they were be-ing reunited with theirchildren. Buses pulled upperiodically to drop off stu-dents evacuated from theschool, with some runningto hug their mothers or fa-thers.

Some parents were sentback to their cars to gettheir identifications beforethey could leave with theirchildren.

Ayn Dietrich, an FBIspokeswoman in Seattle,said the agency had per-sonnel on their way to thescene to help authoritieswith the investigation.

Another shooting oc-curred June 5 at Seattle Pa-cific University, where agunman killed one studentand wounded two others.

NEW YORK — Nearly 9,000unpaid interns stand to benefitfrom a $6.4 million settlementwith NBCUniversal over backwages.

Unpaid interns who workedon “Saturday Night Live” andother shows brought a class ac-tion suit last July in Manhattanfederal court claiming NBCUni-versal violated the law by classi-fying them as non-employee in-terns and paid them nothing orless than minimum wage, whenthey were actually doing employ-ee work. NBCUniversal said incourt documents that eventhough it’s settling the suit, it de-nies the allegations and doesn’tadmit any wrongdoing.

The average amount thatclass-action members of the suitwill receive is $505 before taxes,although the main plaintiffs willreceive more. The number ofclass members is capped at 8,975.The interns had been seeking re-covery of unpaid wages, attor-

neys’ fees, interest and liquidat-ed damages.

The settlement still has to beapproved by a judge.

Unpaid internships have longbeen a way that students and

young graduates got a foot in thedoor in many industries. Compa-nies get some help, interns po-tentially get experience and con-tacts — if they can afford towork for free. But in the last few

years, unpaid internships havecome under legal fire. Last June,a federal judge in New Yorkruled that Fox Searchlight Pic-tures violated minimum wageand overtime laws by not payinginterns who worked on produc-tion of the 2010 movie “BlackSwan.” Other lawsuits were filedagainst record companies, maga-zine publishers, modeling agen-cies and TV talk show hosts.Some companies, includingConde Nast, subsequently didaway with their intern pro-grams.

In addition to back wages,lead plaintiff Monet Eliastemwill receive up to $10,000, andother named plaintiffs will re-ceive between $2,000 and $5,000,for their efforts in bringing theclass-action, according to courtdocuments. Eliastem agreed notto apply for jobs at NBCUniver-sal for five years, as a stipulationof the deal.

NBCUniversal is owned byPhiladelphia-based cable provid-er Comcast Corp.

TOKYO — Disney execu-tives call their next film “alove letter to Japanese cul-ture.” No wonder: This na-tion can’t get enough of ani-mation, especially Disney’s.

Walt Disney AnimationStudios is practically bend-ing backward to woo Japa-nese moviegoers after thestupendous success of “Fro-zen.” The fifth-highest-gross-ing movie of all time mademore than $250 million ofits total in Japan alone,nearly a third of its overseasnumbers.

“Frozen” is third of alltime in Japan, behind “Ti-tanic” and Japanese anima-tion classic “Spirited Away,”delivering success that evenDisney executives acknowl-edge was surprising.

Following “Frozen” intotheaters in the country thatis the birthplace of mangaand Hello Kitty is “Big Hero6,” which stars a Japanesewhiz kid as its hero, aptlynamed Hiro.

Disney shows its love forJapan by setting the storyin a picturesque town that’s

a cross between Tokyo andSan Francisco, San Franso-kyo, complete with cablecars and futuristic trains.

“Big Hero 6” opened theTokyo Film Festival onThursday night — the firstDisney animation film tohave its global premiere inJapan. It opens at theatersaround the world in Novem-ber and December.

Its directors, Don Hall of“Winnie the Pooh” andChris Williams of “Bolt,”did a lot of research andtapped Japanese sources tohelp make San Fransokyoauthentic, down to sign-posts, manhole covers andfaces of passersby.

Williams said the worldthey created was inspiredby Hayao Miyazaki, the ani-mation legend who won anOscar for “Spirited Away.”

Hall said the mouth-lessface of Baymax, the inflata-ble marshmallow-like robot,was inspired by a bell hesaw at a Japanese temple.

“I saw a smile,” Hall toldreporters recently while intown for the Tokyo FilmFestival. “I thought it wouldbe the perfect face for Bay-max.”

The rubbery Baymax, de-signed to be a health carerobot by Hiro’s older broth-er Tadashi, becomes a com-panion for Hiro, and an em-bodiment not only of Ta-dashi’s charming and lovingpersona but also of hismessage of peace, even afterTadashi dies in an explo-sion.

Despite Tadashi’s inten-tions to devote Baymax tohealing and cuddling, Hiroadds some of his own moreconventional robotic-designtouches, such as a powerfulfist, metallic ware and sky-soaring rockets, as Hiro em-barks on his mission ofsolving the mystery of Ta-dashi’s death.

“Big Hero 6” features fan-tastic music by Henry Jack-man but not a potentialsmash single like “Let ItGo.” It also lacks fairy-taleprincesses, which were abig part of the “Frozen”merchandising frenzy.

The new film is aboutbrotherly love and a littleboy’s perennial fantasy, aloyal robot friend. “We hopethat Japan loves it,” RoyConli, “Frozen” producer,said.

bras de cocaína y marihuana alre-dedor de la frontera de EU y Méxi-co, y por lavado de dinero.

Oficiales de EU llaman al arrestouna señal de cooperación entreagencias del orden de los dos paí-ses.

John M. Bales, fiscal de EU enBeaumont, llamó al arresto “unamuestra profunda de que la justiciaestá prevaleciendo en México”.

Michele M. Leonhart, adminis-trador de Drug Enforcement Admi-nistration, dijo que Saenz-Tamez“supervisó mucha de la violencia ydel derramamiento de sangre queinvadió México”.

“Se movía de manera constanteen las filas del cártel, trabajando enun puesto de observación, encarga-do del registro, jefe de plaza y, final-mente, siendo su líder”.

Saenz-Tamez realizó su aparición

inicial en la corte el martes. Se en-cuentra detenido en Beaumont. Losfiscales dijeron que esperan deco-misar más de 100 millones en accio-nes que adquirió durante su su-puesta empresa de drogas.

En caso de ser condenado por to-dos los cargos, enfrentaría una pe-na máxima de cadena perpetua.

Jorge Chabat, un experto en se-guridad en el Centro de Investiga-ción y Docencia Económica en laCiudad de México, dijo que el Cár-tel del golfo se ha debilitado en losaños recientes.

“En términos de organizacionescriminales en México, es un cártelque se encuentra en declive”, dijoChabat, quien dijo nunca haber es-cuchado sobre Saenz-Tamez. “Laverdad es que esta organización noes tan relevante como solía ser”.

El Cártel del Golfo, que se en-

cuentra implicado en el transportede marihuana y cocaína a EstadosUnidos a través de la ciudad fronte-riza de Matamoros, se ha visto en-casillado en una batalla brutal porel control del noreste de México conel Cártel de Los Zetas, que comenzócomo una extensión paramilitar delCártel del Golfo que más tarde seseparó.

Al mismo tiempo, se vieron va-rios de los principales líderes arres-tados en años recientes, entre losque se incluyen Jorge Eduardo Cos-tilla Sánchez en 2012 y Mario Ar-mando Ramírez en 2013.

Saenz-Tamez se encuentra entrelos varios sospechosos de ser líde-res de cárteles que han sido arres-tados en años recientes. El gobiernomexicano arrestó este mes al sospe-choso de ser líder del Cártel de Juá-rez, Vicente Carrillo Fuentes.

El 7 de julio de 1946 hay comiciosque renuevan la presidencia de laRepública y el Congreso de laUnión. Miguel Alemán Valdez, can-didato a la primera magistraturapor el Partido Revolucionario Insti-tucional (PRI), gana con 77.90 porciento de los sufragios. En segundolugar aparece Ezequiel Padilla Pe-ñaloza, del Partido Democrático Me-xicano (PDM), al que conceden19.33. Con Agustín Castro, registra-do por el Partido Nacional Constitu-cionalista (PNC), y Enrique Calde-rón, que auspicia el Partido Nacio-nal Reivindicador PopularRevolucionario, las fuerzas oposito-ras acumulan 22.08 de las preferen-cias. Constituye verdadero récordentonces.

Sin embargo, el abstencionismo

rebasa la mitad del universo ciuda-dano. Peor todavía, el PDM, el PNCy otros contendientes demandan en-seguida que la Suprema Corte deJusticia de la Nación (SCJN) inves-tigue lo que consideran “violacionesdel voto”. En lo medular, el primerode ellos objeta la abierta injerencia“de gobernadores, presidentes mu-nicipales, funcionarios federales, le-gislaturas enteras y hasta de […] je-fes militares en favor del candidato”Alemán Valdez, “y el reconocimien-to […] del fraude por el Poder Ejecu-tivo”.

El PNC denuncia además “que eljuez de Distrito en Querétaro sor-prendió a varios miembros del” PRI“la víspera de las elecciones hacien-do paquetes electorales a beneficiode […] dicho partido”, “y que en elEstado de Guerrero no se instalaroncasillas […] en donde la mayoría eranotoria para los candidatos del Par-

tido Nacional Constitucionalista”.La única posibilidad de que inter-

viniera el Poder Judicial de la Fede-ración estaba definida por el artícu-lo 97 de la Carta Magna. Según esto,de estimarlo necesario o a solicitudel presidente, de algún órgano delcongreso general o de cualquier go-bernador, la SCJN podía nombrar auno o varios de sus ministros o a unjuez de Distrito o a magistrados deCircuito o componer una comisión,sólo para investigar lo concernientea las violaciones del voto público.

El artículo 60 constitucional de-terminaba asimismo que diputadosy senadores calificaran en definitivasus respectivas elecciones. El artícu-lo 74 del máximo código ordenabaque la cámara baja hiciera lo propiocon los comicios presidenciales.

Ante ello, prominentes especialis-tas sostuvieron que más allá de me-ras indagatorias, debían crearse me-

canismos capaces de corregir lasirregularidades perjudiciales a lademocracia representativa.

Admitidas las denuncias, encargala SCJN al ministro Franco Carre-ño el dictamen correspondiente. És-te considera que “una pesquisa ge-neral sobre violaciones reales o su-puestas del voto público […] tendríaun carácter […] policial”. “Aun pre-cisados los hechos — añade —, exis-te imposibilidad material para in-vestigarlos con […] oportunidad yremitir el expediente al colegio elec-toral [del Congreso de la Unión], pa-ra los efectos legales”.

Así se ordena la “investigaciónpor lo que se refiere a los hechosviolatorios del voto público y de ca-rácter penal denunciados por los re-presentantes del” PDM “en el Esta-do de Morelos, comisionándose aljuez de Distrito respectivo parapracticarla”.

La historia familiar de los ha-bitantes de Zapata puede ser ad-mirada en la exhibición denomi-nada Árbol Familiar que por se-gundo año consecutivo sepresenta en el Museo de Historiadel Condado de esta ciudad.

Desde el viernes y durante eldía de hoy los miembros de laSociedad de Genealógica delNuevo Santander se encuentranpresentado el pasado históricofamiliar a través de retratos, es-cudos, fotografías de la arquitec-tura y la vida rural, joyería, ar-tefactos e indumentaria entreotros artículos.

“La sociedad tiene la misiónde ayudar a los miembros a re-conocer su pasado familiar puesmuchas personas no saben cómoempezar (a organizar la informa-ción)”, explicó Hildegardo E.Flores, director del museo. En elmuseo tenemos una compilaciónde información sobre las fami-

lias, además de todos los datosque están disponibles en Inter-net o en sitios como Ances-try.com”.

El evento muestra familias cu-yo pasado se remonta a los fun-dadores de la región durante laépoca de la colonia y que incluyepoblados aledaños como SanYgnacio, Lopeño, Laredo, el Va-lle y Guerrero, entre otros.

“Se tiene la ventaja que secuenta con evidencia documen-tada ya que la iglesia católica enun bautizo, por ejemplo, registra-ba no sólo el nombre de los pa-dres y los familiares, sino tam-bién a qué se dedicaban, si setrataba de españoles o indios o aqué casta pertenecían. Todo que-daba explicado ahí”, manifestó.

Apellidos como Ramírez, Uri-be, Flores, Cuéllar, Gutiérrez yMartínez, entre tantos otros, fi-guran en la exhibición.

Agregó que en el evento ante-rior 22 familias participaron yesperan que este año el númeroaumente.

The event shows fam-ilies whose past datesback to the founding ofthe region during the co-lonial era, and includesSan Ygnacio, Lopeño, La-redo, Valle and Guerrero,among other neighboringtowns.

“There is an advantageof documented evidencebecause the CatholicChurch in a baptism, forexample, recorded not on-ly the name of the parents

and family, but also whatthey did, whether theywere Spanish or Indian orwhat caste they belongedto. Everything was ex-plained there,” Floressaid.

Surnames like Ramirez,Uribe, Flores, Cuellar, Gu-tierrez and Martinez,among many others, arelisted in the exhibit.

Twenty-two familiesparticipated in the previ-ous event, Flores said,and hopes the number in-creases this year.

He expects the exhibi-tion will give greater vis-ibility to the museum.

“We are a small commu-

nity, and with this eventwe’ll try to invite othercommunities to come andlearn a little history ofthe region because fromthe Nueces River to thePanuco River, that dividesTamaulipas at Veracruz,was the area Nuevo San-tander covered,” Floressaid.

The museum is locatedat 805 North Highway 83.

namic and magnetic,” saidPeter Fix, one of the as-sembly team members andchief conservator for Tex-as A&M University’s Cen-ter for Maritime Archaeol-ogy and Conservation.“Once we get the framingup it’s going to look like abig beached whale, a bonecarcass. And that’s dy-namic and hopefully itwill pique curiosity.”

The keel and other largestructural pieces of LaBelle — resembling oldrailroad ties — were dis-covered in 1995 by TexasHistorical Commission ar-chaeologists. Researchersbuilt a dam around thesite, pumped it dry, thenretrieved the nearly intacthull that had been pre-served in up to 6 feet ofmud.

In 2012, the 600 water-logged pieces were takento Texas A&M, where thetimber was stored at 60 de-grees below zero in theworld’s largest archaeolog-

ical freeze-dryer to re-move more than threecenturies of moisture.

Once the assembly isfinished, the hull will beencased in a glass cabin-like structure so peoplecan have the sensation ofbeing on the ship’s deck,peering into the hull andits cargo holds “and un-derstand that they’re notlooking at just a bunch ofdirty old boards,” Fixsaid.

La Salle was the firstEuropean to travel theMississippi River south tothe Gulf, claiming all theland along the river andits tributaries for Francein 1682. Three years later,he sailed from Francewith more than 300 colo-nists aboard four ships in-cluding La Belle to estab-lish a settlement at themouth of the Mississippi— a destination he missedby 400 miles.

By then, one ship hadbeen lost to pirates. An-

other ran aground andsank. A third eventuallyheaded back to France,leaving La Belle as his on-ly lifeline. That was se-vered with its sinking.Then the colony at FortSt. Louis was ravaged bydisease, rattlesnakes, wa-ter shortages and Indians.Its inhabitants died orwere killed while La Salleled a handful of men in-land, where he wound upkilled by some of them.

The museum exhibitionalso includes cannons andrifles, ammunition, cook-ing utensils, tools, build-ing materials, trinketslike beads, bells and mir-rors and even some of the1,603 Jesuit rings reco-vered.

“We couldn’t be anyluckier in that sense,”Bruseth said. “Ratherthan the ship being emptywhen it wrecked, every-thing he had left that youneed for a colony was inthe Belle.”

VICENTE GONZALEZ JR.

Nervous New YorkersMany New Yorkers were

rattled by the news that adoctor unknowingly in-fected with the virus hadridden the subway, visitedparks and gone bowlingafter returning from treat-ing Ebola patients in Gui-nea.

Health officials said Dr.Craig Spencer followedU.S. and internationalprotocols by checking histemperature daily andseeking treatment Thurs-day when he suffereddiarrhea and a 100.3-de-gree fever.

He was listed in stablecondition Friday at a spe-cial isolation unit at Belle-vue Hospital Center, and adecontamination companywas sent to his Harlemhome. His fiancee, whowas not showing symp-toms, was in quarantine.

Ebola isn’t contagiousuntil the infected personbecomes ill, and city offi-cials tried to reassureNew Yorkers. But somepeople were breaking outthe hand sanitizer andimagining scenarioswhere Ebola might spreadthrough the city’s subwayand other crowded spaces.

“There is no cause foralarm,” Mayor Bill de Bla-sio said. “New Yorkerswho have not been ex-posed to an infected per-son’s bodily fluids aresimply not at risk.”

Quarantine questionThe New York case

prompted the governors ofNew York and New Jerseyto issue a 21-day quaran-tine for any travelers, in-cluding doctors, who hadcontact with Ebola pa-

tients in West Africa.Earlier in the day, at a

congressional hearing,some U.S. lawmakersurged a travel ban or aquarantine. It can take upto 21 days after someoneis infected to become sick.

They cited errors in thehandling of the DallasEbola case and said theNew York situation ex-posed more problems withthe government’s re-sponse to the disease.

“I can tell you it’s notworking. All you need todo is look at Craig Spen-cer,” said Rep. John Mica,R-Fla.

Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., said health author-ities weren’t taking thethreat seriously enough.

“This can’t just beabout ideology and happytalk,” Lynch said.

Dr. Nicole Lurie, assist-ant HHS secretary for pre-paredness and response,told lawmakers a travelban would be counterpro-ductive and make it hard-er to stop the disease inWest Africa, where thehardest-hit nations aredesperate for more re-sources and medical help.

“There is an epidemicof fear, but not of Ebola, inthe United States,” Luriesaid.

Doctors Without Bor-ders, which has been atthe forefront of the battleagainst Ebola, stuck by itsguidelines for healthworkers returning fromthe hot zone. They areclosely monitored for dis-ease and don’t need to bequarantined if they aren’tshowing symptoms, thegroup said in a statement.

Samaritan’s Purse, aChristian relief organiza-tion based in North Car-olina, said that its return-

ing aid workers spendthree weeks isolated in a“safe house,” where theyare monitored for feverand asked to stay awayfrom crowds and not visitwith family.

Now in Mali, tooA 2-year-old girl who

traveled by bus from Gui-nea with her grandmotherdied of Ebola after arriv-ing in Mali. It was thefirst case in that WestAfrican nation, and WorldHealth Organization offi-cials say that because thechild was sick and bleed-ing from her nose, shemay have infected manypeople.

Health officials aremonitoring 43 people, in-cluding 10 health careworkers, who might havebeen exposed and theWHO is sending expertsto help.

The disease is out ofcontrol in Guinea, Liberiaand Sierra Leone. Casesalso have reached Nigeriaand Senegal since the out-break began in March,but those West Africancountries were able tostop its spread.

More than 4,800 peoplehave died in the outbreak.

Nurses on the mendThe two nurses who

caught Ebola from a hos-pital patient in Dallas arenow free of the disease.

The first to fall ill, NinaPham, left a governmenthospital near Washingtonwith a big smile, tellingreporters she was eager toreunite with her dog, Ben-tley, who had been put inquarantine. The King

Charles Spaniel so far hastested negative for the dis-ease.

“I feel fortunate andblessed to be standinghere today,” Pham told re-porters outside the hospi-tal.

Pham, 26, was invited tothe White House after-ward, where Obamahugged her and praisedthe bravery of health careworkers who put them-selves at risk to help Ebo-la patients.

Pham and co-workerAmber Vinson were in-fected while caring for aLiberian man at TexasHealth Presbyterian Hos-pital in Dallas. ThomasEric Duncan, who becamesick after traveling to theU.S., died in the hospitalOct. 8.

Vinson “is making goodprogress” and tests nolonger find any Ebola vi-rus in her blood, EmoryUniversity Hospital saidin a statement Friday. Sheremains hospitalized.

Europe steps upThe 28 nations of the

European Union arepledging more than 1 bil-lion euros — or about$1.26 billon — to the Ebolacause.

“Helping West Africa tocope with the crisis is themost effective way to pre-vent a serious outbreak ofthe disease elsewhere,”EU leaders said Friday ina statement at the end oftheir two-day fundraisingsummit.

Britain’s contribution of$329 million was the large-st in the group.

Separately, Chinapledged $81 million to theworldwide Ebola effort.

tries that have joined the U.S. in thefight against Islamic State militantshas not gone far enough. The U.S. andpartner countries, including Qatar,Saudi Arabia and the United ArabEmirates, have been bombing IslamicState targets since August.

“It shouldn’t just be us. It shouldn’tjust be ‘Oh, the United States is polic-ing.’ It should be everyone is therepolicing and everybody believes thisis wrong and everyone — worldwide— is trying to stop this,” said KathyRobinson, 24, a Sterling, Virginia,woman who works at an informationtechnology company.

At the same time, she thinks theUnited States eventually will puttroops on the ground in the region“just to make sure nothing starts backup — to keep the peace.”

Only 32 percent think Obama hasdone a good job in clearly stating U.S.policy against the IS group. Morethan six in 10 of them think it’s eithernot likely or only moderately likelythat the U.S. and its partners willachieve their goal in fighting IS.

Are Americans followingdevelopments in Iraq, Syria?

While 47 percent of those surveyedsaid there’s a very or extremely highrisk of another terror attack inside theUnited States, just a third said theyhave been keenly following the newsabout the U.S. military action againstIS. An additional 38 percent said theywere following the action somewhatclosely, and 31 percent said they werekeeping up not too closely or not close-ly at all.

Do people support theairstrikes?

While Americans support the air-strike, when it comes to supporting theidea of deploying U.S. ground troops,respondents were more guarded.

Thirty-seven percent said they op-posed putting American forces on theground, 33 percent favored the idea and28 percent said they were neither fornor against it.

Obama has said repeatedly that hehas no plans to send ground troops toIraq or Syria. However, 28 percentthought it was very or extremely likelythat he would, and an additional 45 per-cent thought it was moderately likely.Just 24 percent said it was not likely.

Michael Rainwater, 64, of Samman-

ish, Washington, doesn’t particularlywant to see U.S. troops sent in, butthinks they might be deployed atsome point.

“I think all of these things tend toescalate,” he said. “You can’t keeppouring fuel on the fire and expectthe fire to get smaller. So every timewe bomb or send in armed drones,you are creating more terrorists.”

He does not think, though, that theIslamic State is in a position to mounta 9/11-style attack against the U.S.

Said Rainwater, a retired softwarecompany owner: “It is more of a crim-inal entity because basically whatthey are doing is kidnapping peoplefor ransom, taking over oil refineriesfor the income.”

The AP-GfK Poll was conductedOct. 16-20 using KnowledgePanel,GfK’s probability-based panel de-signed to be representative of the U.S.population. It involved online inter-views with 1,608 adults, and had amargin of sampling error of plus orminus 2.8 percentage points for all re-spondents. Respondents were selectedrandomly using phone or mail surveymethods, and later interviewed. Peo-ple selected for KnowledgePanel whodidn’t otherwise have access to the In-ternet were given free access.

AUSTIN — A judge has rescheduled forNov. 6 in Austin Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s firstcourt appearance to face abuse-of-powercharges.

The Republican originally was to appear ata Friday pretrial hearing, but Perry attorneyTony Buzbee said the hearing was postponeduntil Nov. 7.

In an order signed Friday, though, state Dis-trict Judge Bert Richardson set the hearingfor the previous morning.

A Travis County grand jury indicted Perryin August on charges that he abused his offi-cial powers and coerced a public servant. Thecharges arose from his public threat and even-tual decision to veto state funding for publiccorruption prosecutors.

That came after the Democratic district at-torney overseeing the unit wouldn’t resign af-ter a drunken-driving conviction.

Perry’s attorneys have challenged the caseon constitutional and technical grounds.

HOUSTON — Ryan Fitzpatrick isn’t playingthe way he wants to and knows he has to im-prove to help the Houston Texans get back ontrack after three straight losses.

“I know I can do better,” he said. “Some of itmentally, some of it physically, but my thing isjust continuing to get better every week, con-tinuing to understand the offense better, contin-uing to run it at a faster pace and mentallyspeeding everything up.”

Though there have been plenty of problemsfor the Texans, Fitzpatrick has received the li-on’s share of the criticism for the team’s recentstruggles. It doesn’t bother the 31-year-old jour-neyman. He’s heard it all before.

“It’s definitely the way that it goes,” he saidThursday. “As a quarterback and especially as aguy that really started at the bottom and haskind of worked my way in in every situationI’ve been in, I’ve faced and heard a lot of that.”

He insists that he never lets outside opinionsalter his view of himself or affect his play.

IRVING — Tyrone Crawford flailedhis arms in frustration after chasingEli Manning only to see the Giantsquarterback throw a harmless inter-ception last week.

The Dallas defensive tackle has to

come up with a new way after everygame to describe life without a sack,and the Cowboys have so few as ateam. They’re averaging less than oneper game if you take away a tackle ona fake punt that counted as one.

And yet, improvement in theleague’s worst defense from a year agois as big a reason as any for a 6-1 start,

raising the question of whether theCowboys can keep it up without get-ting the quarterback down more.

“They’re going to have to start com-ing,” said defensive end Jeremy Min-cey, who also doesn’t have a sack but istied with Crawford for the team lead

AUSTIN — Arguably thegreatest football player to everplay at Texas is not much of agolfer.

So Vince Young requestedthat his new employer pro-

vide him lessons, believingthat bigger donations and bet-ter relationships with deeppockets may be struck on thecourse.

The Austin American-Statesman reports Young,who ran and passed the Long-horns to the 2005 national

championship, is almost twomonths into his job as devel-opment officer for alumni re-lations in the university’s Di-vision of Diversity and Com-munity Engagement.

Boiled down to one word,Young is a salesman.

For $100,000 a year, he’s

tasked with attracting disad-vantaged students to Texasand encouraging alumni to fi-nance their dreams. Shouldthe latter objective bringYoung to a local fairway, he’spreparing to make his sales

“You’ve got to have confi-dence,” he said. “You’ve got tobelieve and you’ve got to go outthere and play.”

The quarterback is in hisfirst season in Houston afterspending last season with theTitans, who the Texans face onSunday. He was penciled in tobe the backup there, but wasthrust into the starting rolemidway through the season af-ter an injury to Jake Locker.

Fitzpatrick went 3-4 as astarter once Locker’s seasonwas done and was focused ondoing more after winning thestarting job in Houston this off-season. Things started out wellfor Fitzpatrick and the Texans,but mistakes by the quarter-back and most everyone on theteam has Houston in desperateneed of a win.

One thing Fitzpatrick be-lieves will help make that hap-pen is getting the ball more tostar receiver Andre Johnson,who has had five catches in twoof Houston’s recent losses andhad seven receptions in the oth-er one.

“My job is to get the ball toour playmakers,” Fitzpatricksaid. “I didn’t get it to Andrenearly enough early.”

Johnson certainly wouldn’tmind getting the ball more, butit irks him that most everyoneoutside of the team is blamingFitzpatrick for the Houston’s

troubles.“When you don’t win, I think

everybody needs to look atthemselves and see what theycan do better,” Johnson said.“We all need to pick our play upas a team, fix the mistakes thatwe’re making and do what weneed to do to win. I think youjust can’t dwell on one person.”

Fitzpatrick’s 1,530 yards pass-ing rank 17th in the NFL andhe’s tied for third-most intercep-tions in the league with seven.When asked what he wants tosee from Fitzpatrick this week,quarterbacks coach GeorgeGodsey said he wants him tolead the team to touchdowns in-stead of field goals.

“Be efficient on offense,” God-sey said. “On normal downs,making the right decisions, go-ing through his progressions inthe passing game. On thirddown, finding a way to movethe chains.”

The Texans struggled in pre-vious weeks to start fast butchanged that against Pittsburghwhen they jumped out to a 13-0lead. It was mostly downhillfrom there as Houston trailed24-13 at the half and lost 30-23.

“We had some plays out therethat we missed on that we justneed to execute better,” Fitzpa-trick said. “We just have to con-tinue work on being efficientand effective the whole gamelong.”

threat, Texas has a more di-versified offense underCharlie Strong. And that’sgiving Kansas State coachBill Snyder plenty of reasonto worry heading into Sat-urday’s showdown in Man-hattan.

“The guy that has reallycome front and center hasbeen the quarterback,”Snyder said while preview-ing No. 11 Kansas State’sgame against the Long-horns this week. “You canjust see the progress that hehas made. He is a talented,talented young guy.”

That talent was evident inthe Longhorns’ 48-45 victorylast week over Iowa State,when Swoopes threw for 321yards and a touchdownwhile running for 95 yardsand another score.

Swoopes was the leadingrusher for the Longhorns(3-4, 2-2 Big 12) in the game.

“I told him he outshinedus a little bit, so we need topick it up,” said Brown,with a laugh. “I’m definitelyhappy for him, but we needto catch up.”

Meanwhile, Kansas State(5-1, 3-0) features its ownrun-pass quarterback.

Jake Waters threw for 225yards and two touchdownswithout a pick in lastweek’s win at Oklahoma,and also ran for 51 yards.The senior has thrown forat least 200 yards in everygame this season, and twicehe’s gone over 100 yards onthe ground.

“Waters is a hell of aquarterback,” the Long-horns’ Jeff Swaim said. “Hecan run well and he can al-so throw the ball. I thinkthat’s one thing he doesn’treally get recognition for ishe’s a really good passer.They’re real effective andthey do their jobs.”

Kansas State is the onlyschool in the Big 12 that hasa winning record againstTexas, an 8-6 mark that’sbeen bolstered by five winsin the last six meetings.

That fact hasn’t escapedStrong, who is in his firstseason with the Longhorns.

“We haven’t done well atall,” he said. “This is a roadgame, and it’s one of thosegames that is all about ourfocus and our emotion, butit’s all about our defense,too. We’ve got to play greatdefense. If we’re going to goout there and get that game,we’ve got to play great de-fense, and it’s about playinggreat defense on the road.”

Here are a few things tokeep in mind as the Wild-cats take on the Long-horns:

PRESSURING JAKETexas already has 24

sacks this season, its bestrate since 2008. But theLonghorns’ front seven willbe facing one of the Big 12’sbest offensive lines.

SPEAKING OF DThe Longhorns may have

put up 48 points against Io-wa State, but they also gaveup 45. Cyclones quarterback

Sam Richardson hurt themfor 345 yards and two TDsthrough the air, and AaronWimberly ran for 110 yardsand another score. “Wedidn’t play the way we weresupposed to, plain and sim-ple,” Texas cornerbackQuandre Diggs said. “We’llget it fixed.”

LOCKETT HISTORYKansas State wide receiv-

er Tyler Lockett needs onereceiving touchdown to tieQuincy Morgan for second-most in school history. Lock-ett would be three behindhis father, Kevin Lockett,who still owns the recordwith 26 touchdown grabs.

PACING BIG 12The Wildcats are the only

team unbeaten in Big 12play. Their only loss cameagainst then-No. 5 Auburn,a 20-14 defeat in which theymissed three field goals. Ifthey have any hope of qual-ifying for the inaugural col-lege football playoff, theyneed to handle business therest of the season. That be-gins with Saturday’s gameagainst Texas.

“It’s about not letting ourrecord, or what the media istalking about, or thoughtsof winning the Big 12, or theplayoffs at the end of theyear, get to our head,” Kan-sas State cornerback Mor-gan Burns said. “Texas isstill a good football team,they will be hungry. Wehave a target on our backright now. We’ve got to stayfocused.”

Heisman talk with the topthree guys,” Kingsburysaid. “He’s been phenom-enal. He’s been as dom-inant a player as there isin the country when itcomes to running the foot-ball and throwing it andreally protecting it.”

Boykin is thriving in hisfirst season under TCU co-offensive coordinator Son-ny Cumbie, who sharesKingsbury’s roots as aquarterback at Texas Techand spent the last of fourseasons as an assistant inLubbock on Kingsbury’sstaff in 2013.

Cumbie joined theHorned Frogs along withformer Oklahoma State of-fensive coordinator DougMeacham when defensive-minded coach Gary Patter-son decided he needed todo something to try tokeep up with the fast-pacedspread offenses in the Big12.

Now both sides get tocompare notes on the samefield.

“I think it will be inter-esting,” Texas Tech run-ning back DeAndre Wash-ington said. “We prettymuch know what they’regoing to do on offense.They know what we’re go-ing to do on offense. Ithink it will definitely befun going against coachCumbie.”

Kingsbury says Boykin’sability to run is whatmakes the two offenses dif-

ferent, but the junior justthrew for a career-high 410yards in a bounce-backwin over Oklahoma Stateafter the Horned Frogs(5-1, 2-1 Big 12) blew a 21-point lead in the final 11minutes and lost on a last-play field goal at Baylor.

TCU, long known forproducing top-ranked de-fenses, is fifth nationally inscoring offense and sev-enth in total offense, andthe most improved offensein the country in both cat-egories.

“People say, ’You lookcalm,”’ Patterson said.“Well, when you’re goinginto a ballgame and youknow that you can scorepoints, as a head coachand also a defensive guy,that’s all you’re askingfor.”

Things to consider asTexas Tech (3-4, 1-3) triesto improve to 3-0 againstTCU since the formerSouthwest Conferencefoes were reunited in theBig 12 when the Frogsjoined in 2012:

GRANT’S STATUSTexas Tech leading re-

ceiver Jakeem Grant is ex-pected to play after gettingstitches from a cut on hischin sustained at an off-campus party where shotswere fired last weekend.Grant, who has 50 catchesfor 629 yards and fivetouchdowns, is also bat-tling ankle and shoulderinjuries. “I think they’re

both things we can man-age,” Kingsbury said.

DON’T FORGET THE DEFENSEWith all the attention on

TCU’s offense and the de-fense giving up the biglead in the 61-58 loss toBaylor, the Horned Frogsstill have the Big 12’s bestunit in sacks per game(3.8), tackles for loss pergame (8.3), interceptions(11), takeaways (17) andfewest first downs (110).

WASHINGTON’S ROLLTech’s Washington has

set career highs in rushingin consecutive weeks. Hehad 138 in a loss to WestVirginia two weeks agoand 164 in last week’s 34-21win over Kansas. That wasthe most yards rushing forpass-happy Texas Techsince Taurean Hendersonhad 169 against Kansas in2004.

BOYKIN AGAINST TECHBoykin threw for 332

yards, a career high at thetime, and four touchdownsin a 56-53 loss in tripleovertime in Texas Tech’slast visit to Fort Worth twoyears ago. Last year he be-came the first TCU quar-terback since 1987 to rushfor 100 yards (101) inTech’s 20-10 win.

WEBB OVER CUMBIETech quarterback Davis

Webb should overtakeCumbie on the school’s ca-reer passing yardage chart.He’s 159 yards shy of Cum-bie’s total of 5,116, which isninth in school history.

pitch a tap-in birdie.“It’s always good to close deals

on the golf course,” Young said.No one at Texas is disputing

that this position was created ex-clusively for Young, who returnedto school and earned a degree inyouth and community studies inMay 2013. This began cooking twoor three years ago, when Youngbumped into Texas President BillPowers at a social gathering andthe two discussed bringing Youngon board in an unspecified role.

At the time, Young, the 2006 of-fensive rookie of the year with theTennessee Titans, was hoping toresuscitate a once promising NFLcareer that had careened off track.This offseason, after being cut bythe Cleveland Browns and notcracking an opening-day rosterfor the third year in a row, Younginformed Powers he was ready tocome back.

University officials say theywere not required to open Young’sposition to the public becauseYoung’s name recognition andhistory with UT made him“uniquely qualified.”

A product of a single-parenthome, Young can identify with thehardships of the students he’srecruiting. Because his hire oc-curred after the finalization ofthis year’s university budget, themoney for Young’s salary is beingtaken from a special fund Powersdips into to assist programs of hischoosing. Next year, DDCE will

include Young’s salary in its bud-get.

“Very common thing to do,”said Powers, who created DDCEin 2006.

The demands of Young, 31, arenot unlike those of the workingclass. He’s expected to log normalbusiness hours, be it minglingwith students at DDCE’s five out-reach centers in Central Texas, ormaking phone calls from his of-fice on the fourth floor of theFlawn Academic Center. He has adirect supervisor and is among adevelopment team of eight. Younggets full benefits and is allowedcertain perks, like the golf lessons.

“We’re always looking for op-portunities to raise resources, tofund our programs at the highestlevel,” said Dr. Gregory Vincent,vice president of DDCE. “Wecould think of no one better thanVince Young.”

Last Friday morning, 50 or sohigh school seniors from the Dal-las area came to Texas for a cam-pus tour hosted by DDCE. Young,their surprise guest speaker, ar-rived almost 25 minutes late, forc-ing organizers to improvise andopen the room for questions.

A university spokeswoman saidYoung is on time more often thanhe’s not.

Young was a hit with the stu-dents, who were eight or nineyears when he ran roughshodover USC to win the national title.Over a period of 15 minutes,

Young, who was raised in Hous-ton, spoke of overcoming povertyand the absence of his father tobecome the first person in hisfamily to graduate from college.He was self-deprecating — “I ain’tnobody” — and needled his awe-struck audience to “wake up” andask questions. He advised them tosurround themselves with aca-demically-driven peers.

“He did a pretty good job,” saidAustin Gula, of Duncanville High.“When he was talking, I waswowed that he cared about aca-demics and not just sports.”

As Young exited the Student Ac-tivity Center, two Texas studentsapproached him, wanting a pic-ture. Young, the six-figure ambas-sador of the university, blew themoff.

Young, a husband and father ofthree, keeps busy. His VinceYoung Foundation aims at nurtur-ing troubled youth. Young and for-mer Longhorns basketball playerMaurice Evans recently launchedan initiative to guide professionalathletes who’ve fallen into legal orfinancial trouble. (In January,Young filed for Chapter 11 bank-ruptcy protection.)

Young also is a studio analystwith the Longhorn Network.

But he aspires for more. Some-day, Young says he’d like to jointhe UT’s System Board of Regents.

“Hopefully when I’m about 45,50 years old, I’ll be on that board,”he said.

in quarterback pressures with17. “We’re emphasizing every-thing and working it every day.I know we’ll click.”

Crawford is tired of having toface defensive coordinator RodMarinelli in the first meetingeach week without a sack in theprevious game. And it’s gettingto the point where he and histeammates have to make surethey don’t obsess over sacks tothe detriment of other duties.

“That’s what I’ve been think-ing maybe,” said Crawford, whohas alternated between end andtackle since he was drafted twoyears ago. “Just having a sackon your mind, going into thegame wanting one so bad, thatpretty much controls you.”

It stands to reason that Dallasis close to the bottom of theleague in sacks after releasingfranchise leader DeMarcusWare in a salary cap move andletting 2013 leader Jason Hatch-er sign as a free agent withWashington (2-5), the next oppo-nent on Monday night at home.

The Cowboys gave up theirthird-round pick in this year’sdraft to move close to the top ofthe second round and get De-Marcus Lawrence, but the roo-kie broke his right foot in train-ing camp. He’s now in his sec-ond week of practice andhoping to make his debut next

week against Arizona.The team’s active leader is

Anthony Spencer with 32 1/2,and he’s still waiting for hisfirst as well while trying to re-gain his form following kneesurgery that sidelined him all

but one game last year.“We’re working at it, believe

me, and we’re coming upshort,” Marinelli said. “Butmoving guys around, trying toget maybe the proper matchups.They’ll come. We’ve just got to

keep fighting.”Dallas has kept winning by

limiting big plays and gettingkey stops, including game-clinching turnovers the pasttwo weeks against Super Bowlchampion Seattle and Man-

ning’s Giants.The Cowboys have affected

quarterbacks even without thesacks, though. They did get theSeawhawks’ Russell Wilsondown twice, but the more nota-ble thing about the defense inthat upset was cautious pres-sure to make sure Wilson didn’tget outside. He was held to 12yards rushing a week after get-ting a career-high 122, and Seat-tle had its worst offensive daythis season.

“We do a lot of good things,but we’re just leaving somegood rushes out there,” said de-fensive tackle Henry Melton,who came in this year as a freeagent with Mincey and TerrellMcClain and leads the teamwith 1 1/2 sacks.

Coach Jason Garrett wasn’tso much worried about sacks ashe was pressure against Man-ning, who wasn’t botheredmuch beyond the play whereCrawford came agonizinglyclose.

“You have to get more pres-sure with your down guys,”Garrett said. “Maybe it’s one-on-one rushes. Maybe it’s rushgames. Maybe it’s bringing peo-ple. You can talk all you wantabout not having any sacks, butyou also have to affect the guy.”

Crawford is tired of talkingabout not having any sacks.
