A week after Operation Pillar of Defense ended, an arrangement between Israel and Hamas is beginning to taking shape.With the Egyptians acting as intermediaries, the setup has seen all terror factions in Gaza, without exception, committing themselves to the cease-fire, from the ruling Hamas regime to Islamic Jihad (which is as well-armed as Hamas), down to the smaller Popular Resistance Committees and the al- Qaida-inspired jihadi groups.Under the new terms, the IDF will patrol its side of the border with Gaza, and carry out vital border security missions free from all attacks.Terror factions will not activate bomb-filled tunnels, set off explosives on the border or fire guided missiles and mortars at IDF forces. This ensures that the IDF can secure the hazardous frontier free from hostile fire. It is as important a condition for the cease-fire as the cessation of terrorist rocket fire on the South.The IDF, for its part, has stiffened its rules of engagement.It will not freely order an air strike unless it is absolutely certain that a rocket will be fired at Israel in the immediate future.Additionally, Gazan farmers will be allowed to work their fields up to a hundred meters from the border. In the past, the IDF forbade Gazans from approaching the 300-meter zone near the border. This easing of conditions only applies to unarmed civilians.No gunmen, including Hamas police, can approach the fence under any circumstances.In case of violent disturbances, IDF soldiers will call out warnings, and if rioters continue to try to cross or damage the fence, soldiers will open fire at the rioters' legs.IDF officials believe that the arrangement is far from being sealed in cement, but note that it is in Hamas's self-interest to enforce it. The entire setup is predicated on the cessation of all terrorist activity from the Gaza Strip. However, Hamas will seek to continue to rely on its extensive network of smuggling tunnels to bring in arms and commercial goods.It will be up to the governments in Jerusalem and Cairo to try and hammer out an effective arrangement on Hamas's rearmament efforts.

Punjab made a rollicking start against Karnataka as they reached 138 for two at lunch on the second day of the Ranji Trophy semi-final match at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali on Sunday.
The first day's play between the two sides was washed out on Saturday.
Jiwanjot Singh and Manan Vohra led Punjab's charge against their South Indian rivals as they put up a strong partnership of 85 runs for the first wicket.
But this was after they made a cautious start after Karnataka captain R Vinay Kumar won the toss and invited the hosts to bat first.
Manan and Jiwanjot batting cautiously early on, not giving any opportunity to the tourists' bowlers to capitalise. After seeing off few initial overs, they took the attack to the opposition and played strokes around the park.
Manan struck eight boundaries and a six to score 51 off 50 balls, before he edged one to wicketkeeper CM Gautam off Rohit More. Manan's dismissal got Taruwar Kohli at the crease, who got into the groove soon and took Punjab past the 100-run mark with Jiwanjot.
However, Kohli's stay at the crease was over in the 32nd over of the game when Shreyas Gopal had him caught by Lokesh Rahul. Jiwanjot was batting on 54.
Brief scores:
Punjab 138 for 2 (Manan Vohra 51, Jiwanjot Singh 54*; Shreyas Gopal 1 for 36) vs Karnataka.

Lawmakers Call for Tougher Infringement Penalties
Lawmakers Call for Tougher Infringement Penalties
Roy Mark
Posted 2007-12-06
Proposed legislation would allow the DOJ to seize consumer computers linked to copyright violations.
The same bipartisan group that pushed patent reform through the U.S. House calling for reduced infringement awards introduced legislation Dec. 5 to increase criminal and civil penalties for copyright and trademark infringement. The Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act of 2007, or PRO IP, would also create an Office of the United States Intellectual Property Enforcement Representative at the White House and a separate IP-enforcement division at the Department of Justice. The new penalties include a provision that would allow the DOJ to seize any computer or network hardware used in infringement activities. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., a co-sponsor of the bill and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, promised to begin hearings on the bill next week.
"This legislation is an important and necessary step in the fight to maintain our competitive edge in a global marketplace," Conyers said in a statement. "By providing additional resources for enforcement of intellectual property, we ensure that innovation and creativity will continue to prosper in our society."
The ranking Republican on the panel, Lamar Smith of Texas, added, "Counterfeiting and pirating intellectual property costs American jobs, reduces American prosperity and threatens the existence of American companies. By protecting intellectual property, this bill preserves American jobs, encourages innovation and helps build a strong American economy." Conyers said piracy costs the United States between $200 and $250 billion annually in lost sales, including 750,000 jobs.

why patent infringement lawsuits are stacking even as reform legislation stalls in the U.S. Senate.
Rep. Howard Berman, D-Calif., chairman of the House Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet and Intellectual Property, said next week's hearing would include both industry experts and labor and consumer advocates. The bill's introduction drew the immediate praise from NBC Universal and the Motion Picture Association of America, while Public Knowledge, a public advocacy group, said the proposed legislation could have harmful, if unintended, consequences for consumers.
Calling global piracy and counterfeiting a "worldwide pandemic of crime," NBC Universal said in a statement, "The bold mandate in this legislation for high-level executive leadershipstarting at the White House and the Department of Justiceand for dedicated prosecutorial, investigative and international resources will dramatically advance the cause of protecting U.S. innovation, technological invention and creativity." MPAA Chairman Dan Glickman said in his own statement that the American business community could "speak in one voice today in support of these legislative efforts to protect intellectual property."
Read more about why the
DOJ and lawmakers denounced the EU's decision.
Public Knowledge, though, found problems with the increased penalties and the asset seizure provisions of the bill. "The bill rightly targets enforcement of copyright law against commercial infringers, but some of these same enforcement provisions are likely to hurt ordinary consumers," Public Knowledge President Gigi B. Sohn said in a statement. "Seizing expensive manufacturing equipment used for large-scale infringement from a commercial pirate may be appropriate. Seizing a family's general-purpose computer in a download case, as this bill would allow, is not appropriate." Sohn also noted that Public Knowledge is a strong supporter of the House patent reform legislation that originated in the House Judiciary Committee. "The bill also takes a direction opposite from that taken in recent patent legislation. The House has passed legislation limiting patent damages relative to actual harm, a strong policy that will promote competition and innovation," Sohn said. "This bill takes already extraordinary copyright damages and increases them, expanding the threat of litigation intended to stifle competition and innovation."

Border Security
Tuesday, March 3, 2015 - 07:23
When the Texas House and Senate leaders unveiled starting point budgets in January, one of the most striking differences was how far apart the 2016-17 spending plans were on border security with the lower chamber allocating less than half the $815 million the Senate had proposed for an ongoing and evolving enforcement effort at the Mexico border.

Moored on the U.S. side of the international boundary, the balloon is an unmanned, high-altitude sentinel carrying cameras that let U.S. Customs and Border Protection peer deep into Mexico and spot a human from 12 miles (20 kilometers) away in the dark. "This is putting long-range eyeballs at 500 to 5,000 feet that did not exist before," said Tobin Ruff, who runs the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's program for tactical aerostats, as the blimps are formally known.

More than 24,000 women were deported from Mexico in 2014 – double the number sent home in 2013. The upsurge in child detentions was even sharper – climbing 230% to just over 23,000, Mexican interior ministry figures reveal.

Authorities have gathered evidence of a militant build-up on the Afghan border with Uzbekistan, analysts said. Other reasons for beefing up border security include a big opium harvest in Afghanistan and the Uzbek presidential election in March. Yet another reason is ISIL's influence in the Middle East, Khamdamov said.

A new study suggests the number of guns trafficked from the United States to Mexico is higher than previously believed, underscoring the uncertainty that surrounds the cross-border weapons trade, as well as its impact on violence in Mexico.

The bill from Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) was approved last week by the House Committee on Homeland Security, which he chairs. It would require that the department attain full operational control of highly trafficked areas of the U.S.-Mexico border within two years, and the rest of the southwest border within five years.

The presence of Islamic State (IS) fighters has been reported in the Almar district of Afghanistan's Faryab province along the border with Turkmenistan. Earlier this month it was reported that the national security services of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan have taken preventive measures to strengthen their border with Afghanistan amid reports on concentration of fighters on the Afghan side of the border.

My response, summed up:
1) An overweight person at the gym isn't necessarily a rookie. Stop making stupid assumptions. Also, a fat person at the gym during the start of a new year might not be trying to lose weight; sometimes we want to get healthy and don't care if that happens to mean we lose weight. 436 more words

Del Frisco's co-founder Dee Lincoln sues Lone Star Funds
- Bill Hethcock
- Staff Writer- Dallas Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Twitter | Google+
The co-founder and former leader of the Southlake-based Del Frisco's restaurant empire has sued Lone Star Funds, the private investment fund that bought the concept six years ago and took it public.
Restaurant maven Dee Lincoln's suit against Dallas-based Lone Star and several of its subsidiaries claims breach of contract and fraud by Lone Star and its affiliates. Lincoln, one of the leading businesswomen in the steakhouse industry, is known nationally as the "Queen of Steaks."
A spokeswoman for Lone Star Funds declined to comment on the suit.
Lincoln claims in the suit that Lone Star and its affiliates refused to pay severance pay and provide medical and dental coverage as required by an employment agreement, refused to distribute to Lincoln an agreed-upon percentage of shares in Del Frisco Restaurant Group's common stock immediately after an initial public offering, and committed fraud by not sharing important information about how much Lincoln could invest in Del Frisco at the time of the IPO.
The amount at stake is more than $1 million, plus potential exemplary damages, said Larry Friedman, Lincoln's attorney.
"When you make a business deal, and you don't do what you say you're going to do, you can expect to wind up at the courthouse," Friedman said from San Juan, Puerto Rico, where his firm, Dallas-based Friedman & Feiger LLP, recently opened an office.
In December 2006, Lone Star Funds purchased Del Frisco's, a restaurant enterprise co-founded and led by Lincoln, according to the petition filed in state district court in Dallas. Lone Star asked Lincoln to continue her affiliation with the company and Lone Star executives told her to "keep doing what you have done all these years," the petition says.

Publisher's Description
This is a companion volume to Greek for the Rest of Us by William D. Mounce. This book is a guide for English-only readers to understand the language of the Old Testament just enough to work with the Old Testament in more detail and to understand the scholarly literature on the Hebrew Bible. Its specific aims are to aid students to learn (1) why translations differ, (2) how to do Hebrew word studies, (3) what the basics of Hebrew exegesis are, and (4) how to read more advanced Old Testament commentaries with greater understanding. Herbrew for the Rest of Us is set up in a workbook format.
Author Bio
Lee M. Fields is a trained Hebrew scholar with a PhD from Hebrew Union College. He is Professor of Bible and Theology at Mid-Atlantic Christian University (formerly Roanoke Bible College), in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

learner5 Stars Out Of 5Like the workbook presentation and exercisesOctober 7, 2011learnerI am taking a class - "Intro to Biblical Hebrew" and this is our text. I knew nothing about the language. We are having class 4 tomorrow and I am amazed at how much I have already "soaked up" through use of this text (and my instructor).
Joan4 Stars Out Of 5February 16, 2009JoanI loved Bill Mounce's "Greek for the Rest of Us". So, I had high hopes that "Hebrew for the Rest of Us" would be the equivalent. It is, however, it lacks one of the strengths that GRU had which is an accompanying cd rom of lectures. I'm hoping this will be offered in a future edition. All in all, "Hebrew for the Rest of Us" is invaluable because it is a simpler approach to understanding Biblical Hebrew than any other text I have found.

200 non-academic jobs to be cut at Clemson
Published: Sunday, January 8, 1995 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 8, 1995 at 12:00 a.m.
CLEMSON - Clemson University officials now say the number of non-academic administrative positions being cut at the college should be about 200 - double the number expected.
Clemson interim President Phil Prince announced the figure on Friday, but said it could be two years before the final cuts would be made. More than 100 of those posts already have been targeted and some have been eliminated, university spokeswoman Cathy Sams said. There are 238 fewer jobs at the university now than 18 months ago, she said. "It's going to be so gradual that I don't think a lot of people will notice it," Prince told The Greenville News. In May, the school said it planned to trim 100 administrative and staff jobs and 28 faculty positions. The school is going through a restructuring process and is seeking a new president. Prince said he intends for 90 to 95 percent of the money saved from the job cuts to go toward increased academic funding.

The death of a man who was hit by a train in Avondale on Wednesday night takes the number of collisions with pedestrians in Auckland to a six-year high.
The incident, which happened at St Georges Rd about 7pm, was the sixth train-versus-pedestrian collision of the year, though not all were fatalities.
A KiwiRail spokeswoman said every death or injury on the tracks was avoidable and people needed to recognise the hazards and pay more attention to warning signs and signals.
"Our message is 'Use your brain, tracks are for trains'. We encourage people to stay alert around train tracks, to only ever cross at legal pedestrian crossings and to always remove their headphones and not use cellphones when crossing tracks," she said.
While trespassing was the leading cause of rail-related fatalities in New Zealand, the majority of those were incidents of self-harm.
There have also been 11 collisions between trains and cars this year, a significant drop from previous years but there was no clear pattern in train crashes since 2003.
KiwiRail said incidents where members of the public were injured or killed were also hard on the train drivers, who were given as much time off as they needed as well as the option of counselling.

Today's fun video: Mixing Council politics with The Beatles
Someone decided to mix "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" with the current flap over whether to remove Councilman Mike Fagan from the Spokane Regional Health District Board.
How funny you think it is may depend on where you stand on the issue. How long it remains up on YouTube may depend on how diligent the lawyers are for the owners of The Beatles' copyrights.
Harpman Hatter renders Dr. Evil
Rick Bocook, a perennial figure at Spokane City Council meetings, has just a few issues he rails on at City Hall. Freedom for street musicians. The tyranny of the city's sit-lie ordinance. Sidewalk chalk drawings.
Bocook, AKA Harpman Hatter, was in fine form on this last front last night, as he rendered a perfect Dr. Evil - pinky and all - on an issue stemming from an article I wrote last month.
Now, I won't comment on his spelling, or delve into any similarities between Mayor David Condon and the characters from the Austin Powers film series. But I will note that any time anyone says, "One million dollars," I can definitively say that the phrase rings in my head with the sound of one voice. And I usually have the desire to raise my pinky and an eyebrow.
Stuckart's defense wasn't "convincing" says Ethics chair, but still considers matter closed
Troy Bruner, head of the Spokane's Ethics Committee, said City Council President Ben Stuckart's leak of a confidential email had the ability to hurt the city, but there was no evidence of it doing so.
"Certainly there was a potential for harm to be done to the city," Bruner said. "We had no evidence that harm was done, so we figured that the penalty should be minimal."
In a unanimous decision by the committee last night, Stuckart was fined $250 for leaking a confidential email dealing with an open lawsuit.
Bruner said the matter was closed, but noted the committee will write a "strongly worded statement showing our disapproval of his actions and admonishing him."
Stuckart, who publicly apologized for his actions, said he regretted forwarding the email. In his defense to the ethics committee, Stuckart said the information in the email was already public knowledge.
Bruner rejected Stuckart's claims, saying they "weren't convincing to us."
"He said the email wasn't bad because its contents were public knowledge. There was no way for us to know that," he said. "He said you should be able to dismiss this because there was no harm to the city. We had no way to know if there was harm done to the city."
Bruner said he was convinced that the matter had been resolved, even though he had an unanswered question.
"One personal observation I have, President Stuckart really wasn't able to provide a compelling reason why he forwarded the email in the first place. That's something I still don't have an answer for," he said. "But he was apologetic for his behavior and he did affirm that he would not engage with such disclosures in the future."
Spokane backs WSU medical school plan over UW proposal
Spokane City Hall is backing crimson over purple.
The city announced this week it will help Washington State University lobby the Legislature for money to begin establishing its own medical school on Spokane's Riverpoint campus. The WSU request for $2.5 million in startup funding over the next two years is among the city's top three legislative priorities for the upcoming 2015 session.
Although the city also is supporting the University of Washington's pledge to expand its medical education program in Spokane, it's not among the top priorities.
The state's two leading universities, after partnering for years on a shared medical education program with a branch in Spokane, are parting ways and will battle it out in the Legislature next year for money to pursue their own vision of how best to train doctors.
WSU wants its own Spokane-based medical school that relies on forging community partnerships with hospitals around the state to train physicians who'd be encouraged to practice in under-served regions of the state. The UW, which has one of the best medical schools in the country for primary care training, proposes aggressively expanding its Spokane satellite branch, which currently operates in facilities that WSU wants to use for its medical school.
Spokane has long sought expanded medical education opportunities at the Riverpoint campus as part of an overall push to strengthen the local economy and help ease physician shortages in rural communities.
But until now, city and other community leaders had largely avoided taking sides.
Sewage researcher discusses potential Spokane THC test
University of Puget Sound professor Dan Burgard says the academic response to his study of drugs in waste water has been a mix of curiosity and bewilderment.
"Everybody thinks, 'Wow, you can do that?'" Burgard said in an interview Wednesday. "Then they say, 'Wait, what else can you find?'"
Burgard's research on the presence of amphetamines and other drugs in the sewage at college campuses prompted American Civil Liberties Union attorney Alison Holcomb to suggest Spokane look at his process for testing marijuana use trends Tuesday. Burgard said he's intrigued by the idea, but there would be many logistical hurdles to scale for his direct involvement and the numbers would not be as illuminating as if sewage prior to retail shops opening could be tested.
"You can still watch trends over the next couple of years," Burgard said. "As more stores open, do we see more (THC), or do we see the same old, same old?"

City Hall Scoop: Domestic Violence and a New Councilwoman
Another Monday, another Spokane City Council meeting at which Councilman Mike Fagan speaks eloquently on the injustice of domestic violence.
Okay, so not every council meeting has Fagan on the dais, detailing the horrors of "Spokane's ugly, dirty little secret," telling attendees and viewers that domestic violence is not simply violent, but also "a crime of control, of coercion." He doesn't always read a list of crimes associated with domestic violence, or educate people that it can happen between more than man and wife, but between lovers, or friends, or inflicted by a parent or grandparent.
But it happened last night, as council members discussed amending city law as proposed by Council President Ben Stuckart and Councilwoman Amber Waldref to protect victims of domestic violence against discrimination, while also creating a fund to help prevent such violence and prosecute offenders. We covered the issue when it first arose.
True to his word, Fagan was "more than happy to vote in the affirm" and the ordinances passed 7-0, despite conservative gadabout George McGrath admonishing the council for letting government overreach to continue. McGrath did agree that domestic violence should be "contained (and) curtailed" but warned against overreaction, such as when a man flicks a toothpick at his wife. Councilman Mike Allen seemed to have had enough at that remark, tearing off his reading glasses and shooting an exasperated look to the council. Regardless, McGrath's three minutes soon were spent, he returned to his seat and the council carried on, as usual.

Spokane City Council passes crosswalk ordinance 5-1
As a follow up to an earlier post, the Spokane City Council voted 5-1 at last night's meeting in favor of Councilwoman Candace Mumm's crosswalk ordinance aimed at making the city safer for pedestrians, bicyclists and others in the most pedestrian heavy parts of town. This is an important step forward for the city and continuation of the hard work on Complete Streets and the Comprehensive Plan.
On Spokane City streets, between 2003 and 2012, 28 pedestrians were killed. Part of this ordinance was born out of the old tenets of our City's engineering bible that required crosswalk planning to identify the number of pedestrian collisions at an intersection over the course of three years before giving consideration. "If five people were hit, they had to build a crosswalk," Mumm told the Spokesman over the weekend. "We need to make decisions based on where people want to walk the most, not where people are hurt."
The new crosswalk ordinance applies to reconstructed, rehabilitated, or resurfaced streets, and other situations where funding can be secured for a marked crosswalk.
City Hall Scoop: Lilac Queen as Councilwoman
Steve Salvatori was a fiscal conservative from California. Karen Stratton is a political unknown and lifelong Spokanite. Together, they will complete one term on the Spokane City Council.
Stranger things have happened in Spokane. Like when Stratton was named Lilac Queen in 1977 and posed with Grizzly Adams. Or when Jimmy Marks put a curse on the entire city. Or when Mark Hamilton, who was kicked off the ballot last year in a bid for City Council, compared the politicized nature of Spokane politics to apartheid (which also happened last night).
Regardless, as we detailed in today's Spokesman, the City Council appointed Stratton to the seat left vacant by the resignation of Salvatori, who left the council earlier this year for work in Texas. She will fulfill the final 15 months of his term and run for re-election in 2015.

Q&A with council finalist Karen Stratton
Today, Spin Control is releasing throughout the day the answers to a Q&A we received from the five finalists to fill the Spokane City Council vacancy created by the resignation of Steve Salvatori. The council is scheduled to pick one of the finalists on Monday.
Here are the answers from Karen Stratton, who works in the City Clerk's office and is the former executive assistant to former Mayor Mary Verner:
1. What is your top priority and how specifically would you achieve your top priority?
I want to ensure that the residential character of Northwest Spokane is preserved and properly balanced with business development. I have lived in the Audubon Park neighborhood for over 20 years. Our home is close to the downtown core; Riverside State Park and Downriver Golf Course. Audubon Park and the Dwight Merkel Complex are within walking distance from my house. Small businesses have established themselves along Northwest Boulevard and the neighborhood has become a place where one can enjoy a long walk in the park, a bike ride along the river or a cup of coffee or lunch at the neighborhood café. However, as development continues on the Five Mile Prairie and to the west toward Suncrest, there has been a corresponding increase in traffic on the arterials within District 3 which threatens the pedestrian and bicycle-friendly activity in the area. I hope to preserve the residential character with careful attention to traffic planning and support for traffic calming endeavors.

Q&A with council finalist Kitty Klitzke
Today, Spin Control is releasing throughout the day the answers to a Q&A we received from the five finalists to fill the Spokane City Council vacancy created by the resignation of Steve Salvatori. The council is scheduled to pick one of the finalists on Monday.
Here are the answers from Kitty Klitzke, the Eastern Washington program director for Futurewise:
1. What is your top priority and how specifically would you achieve your top priority?
Lift people out of poverty and into self sufficiency.
A look at the demographics of Spokane and the demographics of my district makes this question easy to answer. Spokane has a high rate of poverty, especially in my current neighborhood and the area of Spokane I grew up in. This holds our whole city back. With everything I work on I will look for opportunities that lift Spokane's people who are poor out of poverty. Economic development and growing our
local higher education programs is important. We need more jobs, better jobs and access to quality skills training. But the working poor also need affordable housing, transportation, and childcare if they are to have any hope of accessing jobs.
Poverty is a complex issue. I have been involved in Priority Spokane and its Community Indicators Project from the beginning and recently the group identified mental illness as one root cause of poverty and homelessness in Spokane and chose it as the top issue to address. I look forward to working with Priority Spokane and local experts and stakeholders as a council member as they gather and track available data, find solutions and create new community indicators to measure progress. I will do everything I can to support the effort. Helping people whose mental illnesses keep them in poverty to gain access to treatment, safe housing and services that help them get back on their feet must be a goal in a city with our demographics and where loitering and panhandling gets so much attention.

Q&A with council finalist E.J. Iannelli
Today, Spin Control is releasing throughout the day the answers to a Q&A we received from the five finalists to fill the Spokane City Council vacancy created by the resignation of Steve Salvatori. The council is scheduled to pick one of the finalists on Monday.
E.J. Iannelli, a freelance writer and chair of the Emerson Garfield Neighborhood, declined our request to participate in this Q&A.
Instead, he provided the following statement:
"Out of respect for the City Council's application process, I am declining to answer your questions at this point in time. While my answers might provide voters with additional campaign information between a primary and general election, in this appointment process the value to decision makers is unclear. Had councilmembers deemed these topics decisive, they would have broached them during the public interview session. Many of your questions will be answered in due course should the City Council appoint me to the District 3 vacancy."
Q&A with council finalist Julie Griffith
Today, Spin Control is releasing throughout the day the answers to a Q&A we received from the five finalists to fill the Spokane City Council vacancy created by the resignation of Steve Salvatori. The council is scheduled to pick one of the finalists on Monday.
Here are the answers from Julie Griffith, a personal finance educator with Money Management International:
1. What is your top priority and how specifically would you achieve your top priority?
My top priority will be to understand the progress and needs of the commissions, neighborhood associations and to address the most urgent and long-term needs of the city. For any new council member there will be some time devoted to absorb as much information as possible from all sectors, most importantly the people you serve. I have already started the process by meeting with department staff, small business owners, commercial real-estate developers, and my neighbors in District 3.

Q&A with council finalist Adrian Dominguez
Today, Spin Control is releasing throughout the day the answers to a Q&A we received from the five finalists to fill the Spokane City Council vacancy created by the resignation of Steve Salvatori. The council is scheduled to pick one of the finalists on Monday.
Here are the answers from Adrian Dominguez, an epidemiologist with Spokane Regional Health District:
1. What is your top priority and how specifically would you achieve your top priority?
My ultimate goal is to increase the health and well-being of all residents in the City of Spokane and to view all policy as health policy, regardless if a policy has a direct or indirect effect on health. We should be evaluating policy in terms of its impact on health, specifically concentrating on economic development, social opportunities, income, education, resources, and the physical environment. We should make it a priority that all residents in Spokane have a chance for success and increase their standard of living. This can only be achieved by engaging all community members and partners, which include residents, community centers, businesses, legislators, faith based-organizations, schools and universities, non-profit organizations, hospitals, and public health. We need to strengthen the individuals and communities role and voice in collaborative efforts that will lead to healthier communities. Much of my work as a researcher has involved organizing various groups to address complex and diverse issues. I have sought public input, worked closely with relevant city staff, consulted a broad variety of interest groups, and collaborated with other council members, the mayor's office and other relevant officials in order to achieve community sourced solutions.

Two Spokane council changes make it a bit less expensive to build a new home
Spokane's City Council adopted two changes to the building code this week, both making it easier for home builders to put up new homes.
The first was removing the mandate that water service lines had to be done with copper pipe.
That deal came out of work with the Spokane Home Builders Association, who has suggested the city should allow pipes go in with less expensive High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe.
Copper is still an alternative but not required. That change to poly is based on the high cost of copper, its attraction to site thieves and poly'srelatively simpler installation.
The second change requires new water meters for homes to be placed within 3 feet of the property line and no longer in basements.
The change will make it easier to read and access meters. Additionally, meters located outside will no longer be required to be housed inside an expensive concrete vault; the ordinance allows installation in a plastic PVC box.
The city's Water Department has said roughly 80 percent of builders already install water meters at the property line, which has been the typical rule in neighboring jurisdictions.
Both changes mean home construction costs can be kept reasonable, allowing more new homeowners to buy, said Phil Folyer, a past president of the Spokane Home Builders Association.
The association also cited a study by the National Association of Home Builders asserting that in the Spokane area, a $1,000 increase in the cost of a new home will price about 244 families out of the market.
City Hall Scoop: Hoofing It
The gavel pounded not even 30 minutes into last night's Spokane City Council meeting, and Council President Ben Stuckart erupted at attendees for cheering and applauding. He called for a five-minute recess and warned the crowd that another "outburst" would send the rest of the meeting behind closed doors where no one would be allowed to testify.
The issue at hand: someone testifying in favor of repealing the controversial city ordinance passed last year that made it illegal to sit or lie on public sidewalks.
When he returned and the council was back in session, Stuckart said "the minute" the sit-lie law was passed, problems ceased downtown. Stuckart's right. Those problems, which reached a fever pitch last summer, have largely subsided, but activists find fault with law as a constitutional affront, not a safety measure.
Council member Candace Mumm hosts council connection on crosswalks
Well, this is a very different Council Connection. The monthly cable television program featuring Spokane City Council members as hosts was always filmed in council chambers - sort of like Wayne's World meets C-SPAN, making Spokane the only place where you'll find such a program. But Council member Candace Mumm from District 3 took it another direction by getting out there and interviewing community stakeholders about crosswalks.
On September 8th, she'll introduce an ordinance aimed at improving pedestrian safety on some of the area's busiest roads, focusing on the painting of crosswalks.
City Hall Scoop: Plazas and Trolleys
The Spokane Transit Authority is its own government entity, but it got a good going over at last night's Spokane City Council meeting.
Two items passed by the council dealt with public conveyance: a resolution supporting the $5.8 million renovation of the STA Plaza, the downtown hub for public transportation; and a resolution supporting a trolley-like electric bus connecting Browne's Addition to Spokane Community College.
Both items had supporters, and both items found an enemy in George McGrath, who speaks at almost every council meeting during almost every public testimony.

PCB-conscious Spokane ends use of yellow agenda paper
Changes already are being made under Spokane City Hall's new focus on going PCB free.
Copies of the weekly advance City Council agenda, which traditionally have been printed on yellow sheets of paper to differentiate them from the current week's agenda, now are being printed on basic white paper. Council agendas for the current week are still being printed on blue sheets of paper.
The switch came after June 2 testimony about studies showing that yellow paints and dyes still contain trace PCBs, a cancer-causing compound that was banned by the United States in 1979. It still is found as a manufacturing byproduct, however, particularly in certain types of products and at higher allowable levels than what environmental regulators are mandating be cleaned out of the Spokane River.
Industrial and municipal waste accounts for only about 43 percent of the PCBs in the river. One of the potential sources of the other 57 percent of the toxic compound is from residual PCBs in everyday products that can get washed into river during rain storms and with melting snow.
Interview with Councilman Jon Snyder in Smart Growth America
Smart Growth for America posted an interview with our very own Councilman Jon Snyder regarding complete streets in Spokane. It goes into how he got a Complete Streets ordinance passed, Photo Red funding, and engaging with your local government. It's a good read and quite an honor. Here's an excerpt:
To Snyder, Complete Streets fits into a larger vision to preserve the best parts of Spokane without draining the city's resources. "Spokane is a really awesome mid-sized city," he explains. "It has the benefits of a small city—such as lack of congestion—and a big city, such as terrific arts and culture and high-quality education opportunities. Spokane also boasts incredible access to the outdoors, often in downtown-accessible locations. Here anyone can get an idea off the ground and we can recognize the heartfelt efforts of one person."
Has the Dream of the '90s found its way to Spokane?
Spokane's latest push to expand urban farming opportunities had at least one councilman wondering if TV sketch comedians Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein might be lurking nearby.
"Sometimes when I'm reading this ordinance I feel like I've landed in an episode of "Portlandia,'" Councilman Mike Allen said during this week's debate over allowing small livestock such as goats, sheep and pigs to be raised in residential neighborhoods. "People are trying to create something that may or may not be good for an area."
The urban farming plan was approved Monday night by the City Council and was described by supporters as a way of helping Spokane residents to embrace more sustainable lifestyles.
Allen, who raises chickens, supported plans to ease restrictions on growing and selling fruits, vegetables and produce in residential areas but opposed plans to allow backyard livestock, though he was out-voted.
Whether that means "The Dream of '90s" is now alive in Spokane remains to be seen.
Condon asks Police Guild for contract changes
Spokane Mayor David Condon is heeding the advice of Spokane City Council members who have pushed him to reopen contract negotiations with the Spokane Police Guild.
The mayor and guild agreed to a tentative four-year labor contract last fall, but that deal was rejected by the City Council in November. It was nearly rejected a second time in December before the council opted to delay a vote until Feb. 3.
City officials confirmed this week that administrators have sent proposed changes to the proposed contract to the mediator working with the city and guild. Condon met in a private session with the City Council on Monday to talk about negotiations with the guild. City spokesman Brian Coddington said he could not provide details on the city's most recent proposal.
Early this year, City Council President Ben Stuckart sent a letter to Condon urging him to reopen negotiations to spare the council from rejecting the deal again.
New Spokane City Council casts first 4-3 votes
The new majority of the Spokane City Council flexed its muscles twice on Monday in the first 4-3 votes of the year.
Both votes rejected nonbinding efforts to back a state Senate bill designating energy produced at the city's Waste-to-Energy Plant as renewable.
But council members who cast no votes say they generally support the legislation and were reacting to what they say was a rushed vote with no public notice.
The city has been pushing state officials for years to designate the energy produced at the incinerator as renewable. Energy labeled renewable can garner higher prices, and energy produced at the Waste-to-Energy Plant used to have the renewable classification. The proposal has been in the city's official lobbying agenda the last few years, including the one that was unanimously approved by the council late last year.
The new 4-3 majority – council members Ben Stuckart, Candace Mumm, Jon Snyder and Amber Waldref – rejected a plea from Councilman Steve Salvatori to rush a vote on a nonbinding resolution supporting the Senate bill. The legislation, introduced by state Sen. Michael Baumgartner, R-Spokane, will get a hearing in Olympia on Thursday.
Because the City Council nonbinding resolution wasn't introduced until today, it didn't appear on the council's agenda and needed five votes to be considered.
Snyder on signature: I'm left-handed
Yesterday, I asked readers to guess which Spokane leader uses this signature.
It belongs to City Councilman Jon Snyder. The above example comes from this letter.
Snyder claims the signature is simply a big J.
Me: "Is it a backward J?"
Snyder: "I'm left-handed."
He says the simplified signature is the result of laziness, not an attempt to make a statement. It's illegibility came in handy about 15 years ago, he said, when he was the target of identity thieves who forged his signature in a way that was legible.
Since it isn't likely to affixed to dollar bills any time soon, don't expect it to change.
Guess which elected official uses this signature
Hint: It belongs to a Spokane City Council member.
(The three dots that are at the bottom of this image are not part of this official's signature.)
Stuckart relents on supermajority rule
Spokane City Council President Ben Stuckart will soon be handing out duties to the city's six other council members.
The Spokane City Council on Monday unanimously agreed to give Stuckart the power to chose which members serve on what boards.
But Stuckart abandoned his proposal to require a supermajority vote to make future changes in the rules for how the council governed.
Each January, council members are assigned to sit on a variety of boards, including those that govern the city park system, the Spokane Transit Authority and the Spokane International Airport.
The change returns the rules to how they worked until the council revoked that right from former council President Joe Shogan.
Even though Stuckart will select a slate of council members to fill positions, the council still must vote on his picks. He said the process won't change much.
Richard Rush returning to Spokane City Hall
Richard Rush is returning to Spokane City Hall.
After being tossed from office two years ago by Mike Allen, who won by just 88 votes, Rush has been hired by new Councilwoman Candace Mumm to serve as her full-time staff aide.
Mumm called Rush, 62, a logical choice for the job.
"He's very qualified for the position," she said Monday night following her swearing-in ceremony in council chambers. "We'll be able to get to work immediately."
Rush served on many of the same city committees Mumm expects to serve on, and has a strong background with Spokane's various neighborhood councils.
Each city council member gets a staff assistant. Next month, the aides will become full-time city employees under the budget deal approved in November, and will be paid $34,181 a year, which is slightly more than council members receive. Currently, the aides are paid $25,635 as part-time employees.
Rush was a sometimes-divisive council member who wasn't afraid to float controversial ideas or buck the administration despite his overall support for Mayor Mary Verner, who was beat by David Condon in the same election that Rush lost to Allen.
Rush once suggested, for example, that the city should get rid of its utility tax — one of the highest in the state — and replace it with a local income tax, which would be impossible without a change in the state constitution. He also complained during the Otto Zehm fiasco that it appeared the council was being given only "filtered" information from the city attorney's office about the case.
Council delays police votes
The Spokane City Council voted late Monday to delay a police ombudsman ordinance and a labor contract with the Police Guild in a pair of voice votes.
The city clerk this morning confirmed that the vote to defer the ombudsman ordinance passed 5-2 with council members Nancy McLaughlin and Jon Snyder voting no. The vote to defer the contract passed 4-3 with McLaughlin, Snyder and Councilman Mike Fagan voting no.
Both issues were deferred until Feb. 3 to give more time for parties to reach an agreement that meets language of a voter-approved city charter amendment calling for independent ombudsman investigations of police wrongdoing.
14 Spokane City Council votes that would have been different under new majority
So the Spokane City Council will soon have a new, more liberal majority. And while some big issues haven't been decided along easily identified party lines, there likely will be a noticeable change.
To get a sense of the kind of policies that could be affected, here's a review of many of the 4-3 tallies cast since the council shifted to a more conservative bent after the 2011 election. The following votes ended with Republican-leaning Mike Allen, Mike Fagan, Nancy McLaughlin and Steve Salvatori beating out Democratic-leaning Jon Snyder, Ben Stuckart and Amber Waldref.
May 2013
- Supporting the filing of lawsuits to stop two citizen initiatives from appearing on the ballot, including Envision Spokane's proposed Community Bill of Rights.
April 2013
- Rejection of proposal to pull money from reserves to hire 10 police officers.
- Creation of 13 new public safety departments to allow Mayor David Condon to hire and fire more managers without using civil service rules.
Fire District safe from Ahern
In the KSPS debate that aired earlier this month on KSPS City Council candidate John Ahern spoke in confusing terms about the area served by the city's Fire Station No. 9 on the South Hill. So confusing, apparently, that Spokane County Fire District No. 9 has issued a clarification:
Here's a portion of the district's press release sent today from Fire Chief Jack Cates:
In his rebuttal, John Ahern stated that "another area I think we really need to shore up is Fire District 9." Furthermore he felt that that area was only half-staffed at this time and indicated he had been knocking on doors talking to taxpayers in that area. The context of Mr. Ahern's rebuttal appears to indicate that he was actually referring to the area around the old Fire Station 9 on the south hill area in the City of Spokane. He even referred to the Eagle Ridge neighborhood near Highway 195.
City Hall Scoop: Foot bridges and vegetated roofs
There were enough members for a quorum, but the dais was a bit spare at Monday's regularly scheduled Spokane City Council meeting.
Councilman Jon Snyder, acting as council president pro tem in Ben Stuckart's stead, politely led the charge through the hour-long meeting. Councilman Mike Allen was also absent.
Members voted on an emergency spending request put forth by Snyder to shift $350,000 out of general fund reserves to pay for comprehensive inspections on 11 bridges, mainly in Riverfront Park. Our previous story here said nine bridges would be checked, but two bridges on the Fish Lake trail were added.
On his blog, Snyder said the bridges are "vital bike riding and walking links for our City, a City that has precious few places for those using non-motorized to cross our river."
Kelly Cruz, who failed to get past this month's primary in the race to replace the term-limited Councilwoman Nancy McLaughlin, spoke against spending so much money on inspections when he said some of them were thoroughly inspected four years ago by CH2M Hill.
"I just want to make sure we're not spending money on something we've already covered," he said.
George McGrath, a vocal fixture at the council meetings, spoke against the plan.

The council also approved a low impact development ordinance, which encourages developers to utilize innovated approaches dealing with stormwater.

Bart Mihailovich, with the Spokane Riverkeeper, said the LID ordinance was an example of the city working across departments to solve problems.
As for dealing with stormwater on site, Mihailovich said, "This is certainly the trend."
It also passed 5-0.
Another resolution before the council regarding the appointment of committees to "prepare statements advocating voters' approval or rejection" of this year's ballot propositions was delayed for two weeks.
Finally, next week's meeting has been canceled in lieu of Labor Day.
