White House questions new Ebola rules, nurse plans to sue
By Joseph Ax and Douwe Miedema NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The White House has told states that have imposed mandatory quarantines for some travelers from Ebola-hit West Africa that the policy could impede the fight against the disease, while the first health worker isolated under the rules plans to sue. Kaci Hickox, a nurse placed in 21-day quarantine in a New Jersey hospital after returning from treating Ebola patients in Sierra Leone, will contest her quarantine in court, her attorney said on Sunday, arguing the order violates her constitutional rights. New Jersey and New York are imposing quarantines on anyone arriving with a high risk of having contracted Ebola in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, where the epidemic has killed nearly 5,000 people. The White House voiced its concern to the governors of New York and New Jersey about the potential impact of quarantine orders, a senior administration official said on Sunday.
Wall St finally turning on Amazon as Bezos magic fades
By Deepa Seetharaman and Ross Kerber SAN FRANCISCO/BOSTON (Reuters) – Amazon.com Inc’s once fairy-tale ride on Wall Street has hit its most jarring bump yet.

Amazon missed expectations across the board – on margins, on its net loss and on revenue. “They’re becoming much too distracted in all these other efforts” outside core businesses like online retailing and web services, said Matthew Benkendorf, portfolio manager at Vontobel Asset Management. Benkendorf unloaded his Amazon holdings a year ago and said he would be skeptical of future involvement even if the stock falls further.
