The Ebola crisis is not prompting as large of a response from donors as other recent disasters. The American Red Cross, for example, received $2.8 million from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, but only about $100,000 in Ebola-related gifts from other donors. By comparison, the Red Cross received more than $85 million in response to Typhoon Haiyan. (AP Photo/Abbas Dulleh, File)

FILE - In this Friday, May 9, 2014 file photo, Silvio Berlusconi smiles as he leaves the "Sacra Famiglia" foundation in Cesano Boscone, near Milan, Italy. An Italian appeals court says former Premier Silvio Berlusconi could not be found guilty of paying for sex with a Moroccan teen because he appears to have been unaware of her age. The court on Thursday, Oct. 16, 2014 issued its lengthy reasoning behind its July decision to overturn a conviction against Berlusconi for paying for sex with a 17-year-old Moroccan, Karima el-Mahroug, then using his influence to cover it up. Both he and Mahroug denied ever having sex. (AP Photo/Antonio Calanni, Files)
