Requests for more counterintelligence, mili- tary and humanitarian assistance came a day before French President Francois Hollande was to arrive at the White House to discuss the fight against the extremists believed to be behind the Nov. 13 attacks that killed 130 people. Hollande, who next visits Russian President Vladimir Pu- tin, is expected to seek more coordinated mili- tary operations that would include both the U.S. and Moscow. Obama has shown no inclination to rethink the U.S. strategy or significantly expand Amer- ica's commitment, despite pressure from Hol- lande, Republican critics and some members of his own Democratic Party. However, Secretary of State John Kerry said in Abu Dhabi that both he and the president would like to see progress against the Islamic State "go faster." At the White House, spokesman Josh Earnest said the U.S. may step up efforts supporting strat- egies believed to be working — airstrikes and train-and-assist missions in Syria and Iraq — but he played down the possibility of any surge of new American resources into the fight. The U.S. is "pulling more than our weight" in the coalition, Earnest said. "And we believe that there is more that can be done if countries are willing to contribute additional resources." Vice President Joe Biden sought those re- sources from allies at a meeting with ambassa- dors from 59 of the 65 countries in the coali- tion. The discussion focused on what more the countries could do to cut off financing for the Is- lamic State's global network and how to stem PARIS ATTACKS USasks alliesto stepup By Bobie Hughes REDBLUFF The north winds and rains are blow- ing all the leaves off the trees at the Sacramento River Discovery Center.

A retired law enforcement officer who now lives in Ma- galia, Dummel has been studying history for about 40 years with a particular fas- cination with the 1800s, he said. Dummel is a member of Trails West and the Oregon- California Trails Association. "The stagecoach is the most iconic symbol of the old west along with the colt re- volver," Dummel said. From the 1840s to 1880s, it was the most prolific way to transport passengers, mail and other documents that needed to travel. While many people believe the stage- coach was invented during the times of the old west, it is not so, Dummel said. Stagecoaches in one vari- ation or another existed way before the old west, harken- ing back to the Roman Em- pire. The first stagecoach line in England was from Lon- don to Edinburgh in 1785.
