Lazy days Freshman electrical engineering major Stephen Ogier reads a novel Sunday under a tree on campus.
Democratic governor candidate Bill White spent all of the last weekend of the 2010 election season campaigning, in person and by phone. Republican Gov. Rick Perry took one day off before Sunday appearances in the Houston suburbs. Both candidates spent Friday on campaign blitzes through their strongholds, Perry in West Texas and White in North and central Texas. On Sunday, two more Texas daily newspapers issued their endorsements. The editorial boards of the Abilene Reporter-News and El Paso Times both endorsed White for governor. That brought to eight the number of Texas newspaper endorsements for White’s campaign. The Perry campaign has one newspaper endorsement.

Indonesia volcano spews more ash as returnees flee
Arizona’s tough and controversial new immigration law will get its day before a San Francisco appeals court Monday, with the central issue being just what role state and local authorities can play in confronting those who cross the border illegally. A threejudge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will consider Gov. Jan Brewer’s appeal of a ruling that put on hold parts of the law. Among the blocked provisions is the requirement that police — in enforcing other laws — must question the immigration status of those they suspect are in the country illegally.
Allegations disputed in Rutgers suicide Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei were charged with invasion of privacy after prosecutors say Ravi used a webcam Sept. 19 to capture his roommate, Tyler Clementi, having a gay sexual encounter. Clementi jumped to his death off the George Washington Bridge days later. But Steven Altman and Rubin Sinins, who represent Ravi and Wei respectively, told The Star-Ledger of Newark that the webcam stream was only viewed on a single computer and did not show the men having sex. Law enforcement officials wouldn’t discuss the lawyers’ claims, citing the ongoing investigation.

Residents flee on their motorcycles as Mount Merapi releases ash Sunday from Central Java, Indonesia.
Israeli PM to visit US Israel’s prime minister said Sunday he will head to the U.S. next week to discuss Mideast peace talks, in a possible sign of movement for the troubled diplomatic process. Negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians broke down in late September over renewed Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank, and U.S. and Israeli officials have been working to find a formula to revive the negotiations. President Barack Obama will be in Asia when Netanyahu visits, so the Israeli leader will meet with Biden instead.
MOUNT MERAPI, Indonesia — Thousands of evacuees who risked a trip home near a deadly Indonesian volcano fled in panic as the mountain spewed more searing ash clouds Sunday, while rescuers finally resumed aid to tsunami victims in the country’s other unfolding disaster. The number of people killed in the twin catastrophes climbed to almost 500 on Sunday, as dozens more bodies were found in the tsunami-ravaged Mentawai islands. Indonesia, a vast island nation of 235 million people, is prone to earthquakes and eruptions because it straddles a series of fault lines and volcanoes known as the Pacific “Ring of Fire.” No new casualties were immediately reported in the latest blast.The volcano has killed 38 people since it began erupting Tuesday.
Dubai mail bomb sent on passenger planes One of two powerful bombs mailed from Yemen to Chicago-area synagogues traveled on passenger flights within the Middle East, a Qatar Airways spokesman said Sunday. The U.S. said the plot bears the hallmarks of al-Qaida’s offshoot in Yemen and has vowed to destroy the group. A package containing explosives hidden in a printer cartridge arrived in Qatar Airways’ hub in the capital Doha on a flights from Yemen — an Airbus A320 which can carry up to 144 passengers.
