| Malaysia says it foiled attack on Arab royalty ahead of Saudi king's visit Posted: 07 Mar 2017 09:47 AM PST ![Malaysia says it foiled attack on Arab royalty ahead of Saudi king's visit]( "Malaysia says it foiled attack on Arab royalty ahead of Saudi king's visit") KUALA LUMPUR/DUBAI (Reuters) - Malaysia said on Tuesday that suspected militants from Yemen arrested late last month ahead of a visit by Saudi King Salman had been planning an attack on Arab royalty. A senior Malaysian police source said the four suspects belonged to Yemen's Iran-allied Houthi movement, which hails from a Shi'ite Muslim sect and has been fighting other Yemeni forces backed by a Saudi-led military coalition for two years. Malaysian police had previously said the men were suspected of links to militant groups including Islamic State, which is Sunni Muslim and known by the Arabic acronym Daesh.

| Wikileaks reveals how CIA is targeting your iPhone, Android, and smart TV Posted: 07 Mar 2017 06:12 AM PST 
Wikileaks just dropped a massive collection of information detailing how the US government is attacking the devices that many of us use every single day in an effort to gain intel for its own purposes. Tactics for breaching iPhones, iPads, Android devices, PCs, routers, and even smart TVs are included in the leak, which has some serious privacy and security implications if even a fraction of it proves to be accurate.
Much the of the leak confirms what most people assume about the US government's ability to circumvent the built-in security features of computer software and mobile devices — for example, that the organization has many "zero day" exploits for computers running Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and more. The sheer power of the CIA's tools, according to the report, is really the story here. The CIA has developed automated multi-platform malware attack and control systems covering Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, Linux and more, such as EDB's 'HIVE' and the related 'Cutthroat' and 'Swindle' tools.
The report also details the CIA's techniques that allow the agency to "penetrate, infest, and control both Android and iPhone software that has run presidential Twitter accounts" using zero day exploits that are not known to the security community at large. And it's not just the typical communications devices that are on the CIA's target list, according to the leak. Even Samsung smart TVs can be used to eavesdrop on conversations without anyone in the room knowing. The attack against Samsung smart TVs was developed in cooperation with the United Kingdom's MI5/BTSS. After infestation, Weeping Angel places the target TV in a 'Fake-Off' mode, so that the owner falsely believes the TV is off when it is on. In 'Fake-Off' mode the TV operates as a bug, recording conversations in the room and sending them over the Internet to a covert CIA server.
Wikileaks' report even suggests that the CIA was developing tools that could remotely control certain vehicle software and could allow the agency to cause "accidents" which would effectively be "nearly undetectable assassinations." The full details of the leak, which Wikileaks is calling "Vault 7" is available to peruse on the group's website.

| Here's the terrible reason even married people are having less sex Posted: 08 Mar 2017 09:38 AM PST  You might think the current flood of dating apps would mean people are having more sex than ever, but in fact for many, the exact opposite seems to be true. Gasp! A new study published by the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior and reported by the Washington Post found that people are having less sex overall than they were in the 1990s. The study, which used data from the giant General Social Survey, found that on the whole American adults in the early 2010s had sex nine fewer times per year than they did in the 1990s. When you spread that over 12 months, that's not exactly a heinous dry spell, thank goodness. Still, more sex is usually better than less. The decrease was seen across gender, race, region, education, and employment status. One reason for the drop? There are now more people without partners, who typically tend to have half the sex that those with partners do. But even married people (and those living with partners) aren't doing it as much. SEE ALSO: When it comes to sex, older people are just like the rest of us: Horny as hell There used to be what was called the "marriage advantage," meaning that those who were partnered up had more sex because they had a ready and willing partner at hand. But that has sadly disappeared. In 1990, married people had sex around 73 times per year, according to reports. By 2014, that was down to 55. Comparatively, that number for unpartnered people stayed level—about 59 times per year. Even with Match and OKCupid and Tinder, singles aren't really hooking up more than when you had to meet people the old-fashioned way. So why are the married among us failing to get busy with each other? The study suggests it may be because they're too busy doing other things, like sending work emails or playing games on their phone. After all, how many nights have you sat in bed combing through your feeds, oblivious to the person next to you? SEE ALSO: The best dating apps to get you laid We're also less happy overall, are more depressed, and are taking more antidepressants as a result. All of these things aren't exactly known for putting people in the mood. We do know, based on the data, that the decline isn't due to people working longer hours or consuming more porn. Of course, just because this is happening on average doesn't mean it has to happen to you. You can put the phone down and look at your partner again. And if you're single, you can pick up the phone and try to find a match who makes you want to do more than just look at your phone.

Immigration courts, which operate separately from the broader federal judiciary, have a huge backlog and immigration lawyers say it is difficult to win deportation challenges in them.

| Mother of Columbine shooter gives TED Talk about mental health and violence Posted: 07 Mar 2017 06:42 PM PST 
On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold walked into Columbine High School with an elaborate plan to kill as many students as possible. Armed with knives, homemade bombs and an arsenal of high-powered guns -- including a TEC-DC9 and various sawed-off shotguns -- Harris and Klebold wreaked havoc at the school before they both committed suicide. When the dust settled, 12 students and 1 teacher were killed, with many more injured in the process.
The Columbine High School massacre, as it's known, could have actually been much worse. Thankfully, a good number of the homemade bombs used in the attack -- some of which were designed to kill and maim emergency responders -- didn't detonate as intended. More broadly, the massacre made headlines across the globe and sparked heated debates about contentious issues like gun control, suicide, bullying, school violence and mental health. Nearly 18 years later, many unanswered questions remain about the underlying motivations behind the attack, not to mention the mental states of both Harris and Klebold. Recently, though, Klebold's mother Sue has stepped into the public light in an effort to help make sense of the attack. Over the last year, Sue Klebold has sat down for interviews with publications like the Oprah's O Magazine where she discussed how the massacre has impacted her life. All the more interesting are Klebold's ruminations about and how she seemed to miss some warning signs she, with the benefit of hindsight, should have paid more attention to. Klebold also penned a book titled, "A Mother's Reckoning: Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy." The book's description reads in part: "In A Mother's Reckoning, she chronicles with unflinching honesty her journey as a mother trying to come to terms with the incomprehensible. In the hope that the insights and understanding she has gained may help other families recognize when a child is in distress, she tells her story in full, drawing upon her personal journals, the videos and writings that Dylan left behind, and on countless interviews with mental health experts." More recently, Kelbold delivered a Ted talk where she touched on a few of the issues referenced in her book, including the "intersection between mental health and violence" as a means to "examine the link between suicidal and homicidal thinking." For anyone with an interest in the Columbine massacre specifically or some of the issues it brings to the forefront generally, the video is well worth watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXlnrFpCu0c
