Holocaust survivor to ICE director, California sheriff: ‘History is not on your side’ Posted: 29 Mar 2017 09:25 AM PDT An Auschwitz survivor confronted one of the nation's top immigration officials and a local sheriff at a California town hall Tuesday night. Bernard Marks, 87, addressed Immigration and Customs Enforcement Acting Director Thomas Homan and Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones, a supporter of President Trump. Jones had invited Homan to the public forum to discuss address the community's concerns about ICE's collaboration with local law enforcement. |

China says 'no such thing' as man-made islands in South China Sea Posted: 30 Mar 2017 04:16 AM PDT There was "no such thing" as man-made islands in the disputed South China Sea, China's Defence Ministry said on Thursday, and reiterated that any building work was mainly for civilian purposes. China, which claims most of the resource-rich region, has carried out land reclamation and construction on several islands in the Spratly archipelago, parts of which are also claimed by Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam. "Most of the building is for civilian purposes, including necessary defensive facilities." The South China Sea is generally stable at present, but some countries outside the region are anxious about this and want to hype things up and create tensions, Wu said, using terminology that normally refers to the United States. |

John McCain quipped via Twitter on Wednesday in response to a report by the Korean Central News Agency that the dignity of North Korea's supreme leadership was hurt by McCain's recent description of Kim Jong Un as the "crazy fat kid that's running North Korea." What, did they want me to call him a crazy skinny kid? https://t.co/Ym3juRfBev |

Senate kills rule meant to protect family planning funds Posted: 30 Mar 2017 01:53 PM PDT For the second time on Thursday, Vice President Mike Pence took the rare step of breaking a tie in the U.S. Senate, as he cast the deciding vote in rolling back protections for federal funds for family planning and reproductive health. In a 51-50 vote, senators approved killing a rule intended to keep federal grants flowing to clinics that provide contraception and other services in states that want to block the funding. Earlier in the day, Pence was called upon to end the deadlock over advancing the resolution to a final vote. |

Completely insane architects are planning to hang a skyscraper from an asteroid Posted: 29 Mar 2017 03:00 PM PDT Words like "insane," "crazy," and "nuts" get thrown around a lot — I use them more than my fair share, if I'm being honest — but a New York design group just revealed plans for a new type of skyscraper that really can't be described any other way. Their plan is to construct a huge structure on the surface of an asteroid and, believe it or not, that's probably the most rational part of the proposal. Clouds Architecture Office is the firm that wants to build the massive skyscraper, which it calls Analemma Tower. The structure, which at this point is completely conceptual and likely completely impossible, would require that an asteroid be captured and brought into near-Earth orbit. With anchor points on the asteroid, the building is designed to — this is the part where things go completely off the rails — hang completely upside down, using the asteroid like a gravitational balloon to hold the structure in place above the Earth's surface. The tower would be in eccentric geosynchronous orbit, and would "travel" between hemispheres on a regular daily schedule, and in a figure eight pattern. The architects say the tower would spend much of its time over New York City thanks to its planned trajectory. The building could remain completely disconnected from the surface indefinitely by drawing power from solar panels situated above cloud level. Water would be filtered within the structure in a semi-closed loop, but the tower could also capture its own water while in-flight. As far as traveling to and from the tower, the concept suggests that people could just parachute down to Earth whenever they needed to leave. As for getting back home, the company doesn't seem to have nailed down exactly how that will work, but by the time the tower is actually built we'll probably have teleportation pads, too. |

College campus free-speech zones face new scrutiny, lawsuit Posted: 28 Mar 2017 05:46 PM PDT |
California to seek death penalty in salon massacre Posted: 29 Mar 2017 07:09 PM PDT California's attorney general said on Wednesday his office would press ahead in seeking the death penalty for a man who pleaded guilty to killing eight people in a 2011 shooting rampage, even though local prosecutors were sanctioned for acting improperly. The state's top elected law enforcement official assumed responsibility for the penalty phase of the case against Scott Dekraai after a California appeals court upheld a lower-court order recusing the Orange County District Attorney's Office over prosecutorial misconduct. Defense lawyers sought to remove local prosecutors and bar them from seeking the death penalty on grounds that jailhouse informants were improperly used to wring a confession from Dekraai. |

Tesla CEO Elon Musk launches Neuralink venture to merge human brain with AI Posted: 30 Mar 2017 01:00 PM PDT First it was electric cars, and then came the mission to conquer space exploration and Mars. Now, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has set his sights on yet another lofty venture called Neuralink. According to The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Neuralink's mission is to help human beings merge with artificial intelligence and software to allow for improved memory, interfacing with computer devices, and even potentially help alleviate those sufferings from various illnesses and diseases. |

Arizona high school athletes arrested in hazing case Posted: 29 Mar 2017 04:17 PM PDT Six Arizona high school football players were arrested on Wednesday and accused of sexual assault, kidnapping and aggravated assault in connection with a hazing case, police said. Police said the students were current or former members of the team at Hamilton High School in the Phoenix suburb of Chandler. "This is an on-going investigation and there may be other victims out there," said Detective Seth Tyler, a Chandler police spokesman. |
US-led coalition 'probably' had role in Mosul civilian casualties Posted: 28 Mar 2017 08:09 PM PDT The US-led anti-jihadist coalition said Tuesday it "probably" played a role in civilian casualties in west Mosul, as the UN and Amnesty International called for greater efforts to protect civilians. Hundreds of thousands of civilians are still inside west Mosul, caught up in deadly fighting between the Islamic State group and Iraqi forces who are backed by coalition air strikes in the battle to retake the area from the jihadists. West Mosul is both smaller and more densely populated than the city's east, meaning that this stage of the battle poses a greater danger to civilians than those that came before. |
Now I Get It: the Brexit trigger is pulled, now what? Posted: 29 Mar 2017 07:16 AM PDT The day has arrived: Britain has officially said "Cheerio!" to the European Union. Prime Minister Theresa May has invoked Article 50, notifying the European Council that Britain has made its exit, or Brexit. Yahoo News and Finance Anchor Bianna Golodryga takes a look at what's next for the U.K. and why Article 50 plays an important role in unwinding its four-decade relationship with the European Union. |

Houthi rebels in Yemen threatening strategic strait: US official Posted: 29 Mar 2017 11:37 AM PDT Houthi rebels in Yemen are threatening free movement into and out of the Red Sea with missiles, mines and other sophisticated defenses on a key strait, a top US general said Wednesday. The Bab el-Mandeb Strait connects the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean, a strategic passage for world trade. Bordering it to the east, Yemen is locked in a deadly civil war between government forces backed by an Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the Iran-supported Houthis. |
Kansas governor vetoes Medicaid expansion bill Posted: 30 Mar 2017 12:02 PM PDT The governor of Kansas on Thursday vetoed a bill expanding eligibility for Medicaid for the poor under the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA) because the measure was not fiscally responsible and would still fund Planned Parenthood. State lawmakers in the Republican-controlled senate voted in favor of the measure on Tuesday, just days after President Donald Trump's efforts to repeal and replace the ACA, also known as Obamacare, ended with the bill being pulled from a vote. |
Modified European VW diesels 'undrivable,' say some owners Posted: 29 Mar 2017 06:30 AM PDT Most of the Volkswagen and Audi diesel cars sold in the U.S. from 2009 through 2015 are likely to be bought back from their owners, probably leaving fewer than 100,000 on U.S. roads. Roughly 11 million cars with TDI diesel engines were sold by VW Group under multiple brands, and some of those will be modified—in some cases only with software updates.

Warning: Don’t believe phone scammers who say your iCloud account was hacked Posted: 30 Mar 2017 08:43 AM PDT There's a group of hackers out there that claims it can reset hundreds of millions of iPhones by using stolen iCloud credentials. The attack should occur on April 7th unless Apple pays a ransom, but the iPhone maker denied having its servers breached. If the threat is real, it uses data taken from previous breaches. Information gained from previous hacks might be used to reset iPhones, a report showed, but it's not clear what the scope of the attack would be. So far, the hackers seem to be interested in getting as much publicity as possible. But other scammers have developed a different iCloud con, one that's getting more traction thanks to all the news detailing the potential attack on April 7th. The scammers call unsuspecting iPhone users to tell them their iCloud accounts have been hacked. Whatever you may think, don't believe them — your iCloud account is probably safe. The scammers pretend to call you from Apple's support department, Business Insider explains, and many people posted on Twitter to detail their experiences with this new iCloud con. https://twitter.com/steffartnieee/status/846480180923183104 The callers, who seem to be targeting users at random, will tell you that your iCloud account was hacked, and they will ask for your credentials to verify your identity. The log-in information can then be used by an attacker to sign into the victim's iCloud account, make purchases, access protected messages and backups, and more. Furthermore, Macworld points out that scammers may insist on installing antivirus software on your computer, which is likely malware ready to steal more data from unsuspecting victims. https://twitter.com/HenryKIRO7/status/847238485580718080 If you believe that your iCloud account was hacked, change the password yourself on a machine you know to be secure, and consider enabling two-factor authentication. You can even contact Apple yourself, but don't fall for this scam. |

Former PM Valls endorses Macron for French presidency Posted: 29 Mar 2017 11:14 AM PDT France's former prime minister Manuel Valls endorsed the presidential bid of centrist Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday, becoming the most high-profile Socialist to back the ex-banker over the party's own nominee. Valls' nod comes less than a month before the first round of the election on April 23, in which polls show Macron and far-right leader Marine Le Pen running neck-and-neck. The former premier cited the "risks" of a Le Pen victory in confirming his support for Macron, in an interview with BFM TV. |

Nigeria "ransacking" recaptured Boko Haram territory for elusive leader - defence minister Posted: 29 Mar 2017 01:12 AM PDT Nigeria's military is "ransacking" territory it said it has recaptured from Boko Haram in recent months in a search for its elusive leader, the country's defence minister said on Tuesday. The Nigerian military has said on multiple occasions that it killed Abubakar Shekau, leader of one of two branches of the jihadist group, only for the announcement to be swiftly followed by video denials from someone saying he is Shekau. "He is on the run so he may be hiding in one of the enclaves of Sambisa forest," Mansur Dan Ali, minister of defence, told reporters in Abuja. |
