SEYLLOUGETTY IMAGES Concerns rise over spread with latest Ebola cases Nation World Watch From Gannett and wire reports -San Diego: Navy rescues sick baby from sailboat U.S. sailors rescued a family with an ill 1-year-old baby from a sailboat that broke down hundreds of miles off the Mexican coast boarding them Sunday onto a San Diego-bound Navy ship so the girl could get medical treatment.

The baby girl, Lyra, was in stable condition at 8 a.m. Sunday when sailors helped her, her 3-year-old sister, Cora, and her parents, Charlotte and Eric Kaufman leave their sailboat. The Kaufmans were two weeks into a sailing trip around the world when Lyra developed a fever and a rash covering most of her body and wasn't responding to medications. Their 36-foot sailboat lost steering and communication abilities about 900 miles southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and they sent a satellite call for help to the U.S. Coast Guard on Thursday.

-Washington: Jeb Bush to decide on bid this year Jeb Bush says all the speculation about whether he'll run for president in 2016 is actually getting him more attention than if he had already entered the race. The former Republican governor of Florida says that's not by design, and that he'll make his decision before year's end. Bush says one factor in his decision will be whether he can deliver an optimistic message without getting drawn into a political "mud fight." He says the other main factor in his decision will be whether it's OK with his family if he ran. -Ukraine: Pro-Russians storm government sites Crowds of pro-Russian demonstrators stormed government buildings Sunday in several major cities in eastern Ukraine. Eastern Ukraine was the heartland of support for Viktor Yanukovych, the president who fled to Russia in February after months of protests.

About half of the region's residents are ethnic Russians, many of whom believe Ukraine's acting authorities are Ukrainian nationalists who will oppress Russians. Since Crimea held a referendum to secede and then was annexed by Russia in March, calls for similar referenda in Ukraine's east have emerged. -South Africa: Pistorius to testify this week More than a year after he killed his girlfriend, Oscar Pistorius is expected to finally answer questions about why he shot Reeva Steenkamp through a toilet door when his murder trial resumes this week and his defense lawyers begin presenting the evidence they hope will save the Olympic athlete from going to prison for 25 years to life. Charged with premeditated murder for Steenkamp's death, Pistorius, 27, and his defense team say he will testify to counter accusations that he intentionally killed Steenkamp. NOT UNUSUAL Gregory Hartl, a spokesman with the U.N.

organization in Geneva, insisted the outbreak was not particularly unusual when compared to others. Doctors Without Borders maintains that the disease is rarely found in a wide area. "This outbreak isn't different from previous outbreaks," Hartl said. have contracted the virus in Guinea have been buried in Sierra Leone. FEELING ANXIOUS Residents of the Mali capital of Bamako took to the streets in anger over reports that several people suspected of having the disease were being held in isolation in their neighborhood.

Anger also flared in southern Guinea, where people attacked a health center that was treating patients with Ebola. Senegal has closed its border with Guinea. Morocco has stepped up border controls, and France is asking doctors and hospitals to be on alert for signs of the disease. Virus claims 90 victims so far, but West need not panic, expert says Sarah DiLorenzo USA TODAY DAKAR, Senegal A virus that causes people to bleed from their ears and pops open blood vessels has spread from remote tropical forests in Guinea to the West African country's teeming capital. It has hopped the border to Liberia and is suspected in more than 90 deaths in an outbreak Doctors Without Borders has called "unprecedented." It is almost always deadly, and there is no vaccine or treatment.

Is it time to panic? The answer from health workers responding to an Ebola outbreak in West Africa that began last month is a qualified "No." Transmission requires such close contact that the chance of a widespread epidemic is unlikely. KNOWING SYMPTOMS As health officials try to avoid hysteria, they are also trying to make sure that people living in affected areas watch for symptoms in themselves or others, avoid contact with people who are ill and suspend burial practices that involve touching the dead. "You probably couldn't get Ebola if you went to Conakry now if you tried," said Daniel Bausch, director of virology at the U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit in Lima, Peru, referring to the capital of Guinea. Ebola is passed through bodily fluids blood, saliva, sweat of people showing symptoms.

That's important: The disease can incubate in people for up to 21 days before they show symptoms, but the infected person cannot pass on the disease during that period. Medical experts point out that because the symptoms are so severe (internal and external bleeding, high fever, muscle pain, vomiting) very few people are likely to keep in contact with someone who exhibits them. TAKING PRECAUTIONS Elvis N'Daw, a law student in Conakry, said that while people were taking precautions, there was little panic in the city. N'Daw says he is washing his hands more frequently; others are rinsing their children off with a bleach solution before and after school. But people are still out and about, he said.

"Everybody is going about their business," said Alpha Ba, a taxi driver in the capital. Yet the number of cases has been steadily rising, and with it the reminders in the news media of the horrific symptoms of Ebola and that it kills up to 90 percent of the people it infects. As of Saturday, medical tests had confirmed 54 cases of Ebola in Guinea and two in Liberia, according to World Health Organization. There are another 107 suspected cases, the vast majority of those in Guinea. Eighty-six people have died in Guinea and seven in Liberia; another two people who may Ships arrive at site of latest signal Laura Petrecca USA TODAY A woman looks at a tank of fish Sunday at the Cretaquarium in Iraklion, on the Greek island of Crete, ap before the jet vanished from radar.

The latest pings revived hope that the jet or its wreckage and the black boxes could be found soon. The cockpit voice recordings and flight data could shed light on the mysterious disappearance. "We have an acoustic event. The job now is to determine the significance of that event. It does not confirm or deny the presence of the aircraft locator on the bottom of the ocean," Houston said, referring to each of the three transmissions.

Xinhua reported Saturday that a Chinese air force plane spotted a number of white floating objects 56 miles from the signal site in the search area, which is northwest of Perth. "I (have) made clear that these signals and the objects could not be verified as connected to the missing aircraft that remains the case," Houston said. He said the characteristics of the sounds reported by the Chinese are "consistent with the aircraft black box." CNN, citing a senior Malaysian government source Sunday, said Flight 370 flew around Indonesian airspace after it disappeared from Malaysian military radar. The jet may have been intentionally avoiding radar detection, the source told CNN. Up to 10 military planes, two civil planes and 13 ships assisted in Sunday's search for the jet, according to the Joint Agency Coordination Center.

Haixun 01 in the Indian Ocean. On Sunday, Haixun 01 reported it had detected the signal again for 90 seconds within 1.4 miles of the original signal. The Australian vessel Ocean Shield, equipped with U.S. detection equipment, investigated a separate acoustic detection, Houston said. The race is on to find the two boxes before the batteries die and the boxes no longer emit a signal.

The batteries generally last 30 to 45 days. The Boeing 777, which had 239 people aboard, lost communication with civilian air controllers soon after it took off early March 8 from Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia. No emergency signals or distress messages were received A British ship with sophisticated equipment designed to locate a commercial jet's black boxes arrived in the area where a Chinese patrol ship twice detected a signal that could be emitted from missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, the chief coordinator of the Joint Agency Coordination Center, said Sunday in Perth, Australia, that the pulses remain unverified. Still, he said, the signals were "an important and encouraging lead" in the search for the jet.

The first signal was detected Saturday by a "black box detector" deployed by Chinese ship TENNESSEE Sunday: Cash 3: 1-8-7 Cash 4: 4-1-7-7 KENTUCKY Saturday evening: Pick 3: 0-7-0 Pick 4: 7-7-4-6 Cash Ball: 03-04-20-28 21 Cash Ball Kicker: I- 6-9-2-0 Sunday evening Kentucky Lottery results were not available by press time.
