Obama jokes about Hillary emails
President Obama late Saturday joked about the controversy surrounding former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton’s use of a private email account during a white-tie dinner in Washington, D.C. According to a White House pool report, Obama told guests at the Gridiron Club dinner that he was once known as the young, tech-savvy candidate. But now, “Hillary has a server in her house! I didn’t even know you could have one of those. I am so far behind.”

U.S. to keep higher level of troops in Afghanistan, officials say
The Obama administration is abandoning plans to cut the number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan to 5,500 by year’s end, bowing to military leaders who want to keep more troops, including many into the 2016 fighting season, U.S. officials say.
Analysis: In fractured Israel, all electoral bets are off
Deeply divided and foul of mood, Israelis are headed toward what seems like a referendum on their long-serving, silver-tongued prime minister, the hard-line Benjamin Netanyahu. But with so many of them having despaired of peace talks with the Palestinians, the focus is mostly on Netanyahu’s personality, his expense scandals and the soaring cost of living. And as no candidate is likely to win big in the wild jumble of Israel’s political landscape, the outcome of the Tuesday election could well be a joint government between Netanyahu and his moderate challenger Isaac Herzog.

A new theory suggests that chemical reactions, triggered by water far below the Earth’s surface, could have made part of the North American plate less dense many millions of years ago, when the continents we know today were still forming. Because plates float on the Earth’s mantle, parts of the Western United States might have risen, like an empty boat next to one with a heavy cargo, pushing the vast High Plains far above sea level, according to the theory formulated by geologists Craig Jones and Kevin Mahan at the University of Colorado-Boulder.
Social Security’s age gap
Social Security records show that 6.5 million people in the U.S. have reached the ripe old age of 112. In reality, only a few could possibly be alive. As of last fall, there were only 42 people known to be that old in the world. But Social Security does not have death records for millions of these people, with the oldest born in 1869, according to a report by the agency’s inspector general. Only 13 of the people are still getting Social Security benefits; but for others, their Social Security numbers are still active, so a number could be used to report wages, open bank accounts, obtain credit cards or claim fraudulent tax refunds.
Documents: Chilean accused of torture taught for Pentagon
A member of the late Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet’s brutal secret police who’s been accused of murder taught for more than a decade at the Pentagon’s premier university, despite repeated complaints by his colleagues about his past.
Before he decided he wanted to become Chicago’s mayor, Jesus Garcia was best known as a mild-mannered activist and legislator who dropped by businesses in his Mexican-American neighborhood to talk to people about their problems and how he could help. Now Garcia, 58, surprisingly has a shot at defeating incumbent Rahm Emanuel in a runoff election next month. And he’s under pressure to show that he’s more than a nice guy, and that his community-level resume translates into running a city with roughly 2.7 million people, serious financial problems and tensions over what sacrifices to make.
Linguistic isolation divides Koreans
On one side of the line that has divided two societies for so long, the words arrive as fast as globalization can bring them – English-based lingo like “shampoo,” “juice” and “self-service.” To South Koreans, they are everyday language. To defectors from the insular North Korea, they mean absolutely nothing.
Complaints flow in China under new pollution law
People in China who want to take industries to task for fouling their surroundings have been rushing to file complaints and lawsuits this year in a test of legal reforms that toughen environmental penalties and make clear that many public-interest groups have the right to sue.

Eastern State Hospital sanctioned over delayed mental health evaluations
Since last December, Spokane County Superior Court Judge Sam Cozza has found the hospital in contempt of court in 11 cases for failing to evaluate inmates promptly. As of March 6, 39 people jailed on felony charges were waiting for an evaluation at Eastern State. Thirty-one of them had been waiting for more than a week. Eastern State is responsible for evaluating defendants in all 20 Washington counties east of the Cascades and has a staff of six evaluators. DSHS says understaffing, lack of funds and an increase in evaluation requests have all contributed to longer wait times.

Most Idaho irrigation areas predicted to have enough water

Officials assessing oil-spill damage in Yakima River
The emergency response to an oil spill in Sunnyside is winding down, and officials say they’re turning their attention to signs of long-term damage. The spill, discovered March 1, came from a tank at a feed storage facility. It leaked more than 1,500 gallons of used motor oil into a series of irrigation drainage ditches that discharge into the Yakima River. The spill passed a portion of the Yakima River ecosystem full of backwaters and wetlands popular for hunting and fishing, and populated by river otters, beavers and waterfowl. A sheen was visible as far as Prosser, 24 river miles away.
Idaho lags neighboring Utah in legislative activity this session
As of Friday morning, Idaho lawmakers have introduced 416 bills since the session began Jan. 12, plus another 45 resolutions. That’s the fewest bill introductions by this stage of a session since at least 2010. Compared to the past five years, it’s about 7 percent below average. Contrast that with the Utah Legislature, which began its 2015 session two weeks later than Idaho and adjourned Thursday, having approved 528 bills.

Vaccination fears worry Idaho officials
In the 1950s, hundreds of people in the U.S. died each year from measles. Most children caught it. But in the late 1960s, the current measles vaccine went into widespread use. Deaths fell from 408 in 1962 to 24 in 1972. The U.S. eliminated measles from the country in 2000 – something experts attribute to successful vaccination efforts. There were dozens of cases in the early 21st century, but outbreaks and deaths were rare.

Mortgage hunters can’t get comfy with homebuyer-friendly rates
Mortgage interest rates have hovered near historic lows in recent years, but change may be on the horizon. The Federal Reserve is considering increasing the short-term interest rate it controls as early as June. That could send mortgage rates moving higher again. For now, rates remain homebuyer-friendly. The national average rate for a 30-year, fixed mortgage fell to 3.75 percent last week. It was 4.28 percent a year ago.
Two-way loyalty
In 1934, Merton Rosauer borrowed $1,000 from his parents to buy a grocery store in Spokane’s East Central neighborhood. When he retired five decades later, he sold the business to URM, his local food distributor. In 1990, URM sold it to 1,250 Rosauers employees. Ten years later, the employees sold the grocery chain back to URM for a substantial profit.
BBB Tip of the Week
The tech support scam occurs when you receive an unexpected call from someone claiming to be from the tech support department, usually Microsoft or a security software vendor.
