[Daily Caller] The illegal immigrant who discharged a firearm and killed 32-year-old Kate Steinle was sentenced to three years in prison Friday, but he won’t be spending any more time in state jail.
Jose Ines Garcia Zarate was acquitted of Steinle’s murder in December, but a jury convicted him of the lesser charge of a felony in possession of a firearm. Since he has been detained in the San Francisco jail since his arrest on July 1, 2015, he was credited for time served.
Garcia Zarate will be on state parole for 48 months and will be transferred to federal custody. He faces federal weapons charges under a Dec. 5 indictment.
The Steinle shooting touched off a nationwide debate over sanctuary cities after it was revealed that San Francisco authorities had released Garcia Zarate despite an outstanding detention request by immigration authorities. Then-candidate Donald Trump pointed to the incident as a tragic consequence of San Francisco’s refusal to cooperate with immigration authorities.
At trial, defense attorneys conceded that Garcia Zarate fired the shot that killed Steinle, but asserted that he had accidentally discharged the pistol, which he found under a bench on the San Francisco pier. That argument swayed the jury, which acquitted Garcia Zarate of murder, manslaughter, and assault with a deadly weapon.
Garcia Zarate could be arraigned as early as next week for the federal weapons charge, reports Fox News. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison.

... after the safety was turned off? And then the trigger pulled. And not pointed at the ground or up in the air but pointed at people when it accidentally went off "three times"?

[NY Post] The millionaire socialite accused of hurling anti-Semitic slurs at a Manhattan restaurant patron on New Year’s Eve before bashing him in the head with her mirrored designer clutch was in a Manhattan courtroom Thursday ‐ and her lawyer was a public defender. She swings a mean glass purse.
Jacqueline Kent Cooke was represented by a taxpayer-funded lawyer ‐ despite being the daughter of late multimillionaire and Washington Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke ‐ who said in court that she was simply misheard and that the bloodied victim is to blame for her broken finger. Please don't snap the pic until the blood reaches the collar of my Ravis.
Matthew Haberkorn suddenly started screaming at her in the coat check line inside Caravaggio on the Upper East Side, the lawyer claimed.
"My client never made the slur that she was accused of making," Rebecca Phipps, a lawyer with New York County Defenders, told the court. "This is a simple misunderstanding where a statement was misheard at a busy restaurant. That statement was never made."
Prosecutors allege the 29-year-old spat, "Hurry up, Jew," at Haberkorn’s mother as she waited to retrieve her coat, and then twice bashed Haberkorn in the head with her Lulu Guinness Women Chloe Mirror Perspex Clutch outside the eatery, leaving him bloodied. Jacqueline Kent Cooke just became attorney Matt Haberkorn's 7 digit 401K.
The usual from Heavy.com, including a photo of the lady in question carrying the clutch in question. Not something I would bother to spend money on, but tastes differ:

It is unkind, but I think this bit from the Heavy article is telling:
Her mother, Suzanne Martin Cooke, Jack Kent Cooke’s third wife, told the Post at the time, “He’d be spinning in his grave right now if he knew.” Jacqueline Kent Cooke’s mother married Jack in 1987 when he was 74 and she was 31. They separated within weeks and he later married again.
[BBC] The United Airlines flight was forced to make an unscheduled landing in Anchorage on Thursday evening due to a "passenger smearing faeces everywhere".
Police said the man, a US resident, Mr. Hoo Flung Poo of Vietnamese origin, made no threats.
It is not clear what led to the episode taking place.
"We received a report of a passenger who had messed up the bathrooms with his own faeces," Anchorage Airport police spokesman Lt Joe Gamache said.
The passenger, a 22-year-old whose name has not been released, was co-operative and faced "no appropriate charges for anything criminal", Lt Gamache added.
The man, who made no threats and did not try to interfere with the flight crew, was handcuffed by police at Anchorage International Airport and escorted off the plane.
Police told Anchorage TV station KTUU that he was taken to a hospital for a mental health assessment after being interviewed through a translator.
United Airlines said in a statement that flight UA895 was carrying 245 people when it was diverted because of "a disruptive passenger".
Hotel accommodation was provided for those on board, the statement added.

[All Africa] Former president Bob Muggsy Mugabe Nonagenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case. Dumped in November 2017 when the Missus decided she wanted to be president, and opposed heer might against Crocodile Mnangawa Important safety tip: If your opponent goes by the name Crocodile andf your title is Shopper in Chief let him win.... 's sons Bellarmine Chatunga and Robert Junior, stepson Russell Goreraza and son-in-law Simba Chikore and leading political figures face imminent arrest after it emerged this week that the country's anti-corruption commission was investigating an array of offences ranging from illegal gold trade, abuse of office, corruption and murder.
This comes as President Emmerson Mnangagwa's government embarked on a major corruption crackdown, which has already claimed the scalps of former home affairs minister Ignatius Chombo on allegations of corruption, former mines minister Walter Chidhakwa, former agriculture, mechanisation and irrigation development minister Joseph Made on various charges, with arrests of former ministers, permanent secretaries and members of Mugabe's family looming large.
It has also emerged that Mnangagwa has told ministers implicated in high-level corruption to come clean and voluntarily surrender their ill-gotten wealth.
"In the next few weeks, you're going to see some ministers quietly surrendering property, especially buildings, under the guise of donating to communities and empowering the poor. If they (ministers) don't do that voluntarily, they face the real prospect of being humiliated when crunch time comes. Should they refuse to comply, they will be investigated and prosecuted," a well-placed source said.
Sources confirmed that one particularly wealthy minister has been told to comply with the directive or face a formal probe.
"This is a serious matter. He was told that he is tarnishing the image of the new government because everyone keeps citing his corrupt dealings and how he acquired a vast business empire under controversial circumstances. Even some former ministers are approaching the new government to open talks on how they can take action towards surrendering some of their property," another source said.

[All Africa] The United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... has said it will send an envoy to Equatorial Guinea after officials there announced that they had thwarted a December 24 coup attempt mounted by foreign mercenaries against President Teodoro Obiang Nguema.
A front man said Thursday that the UN's West Africa envoy, Francois Louceny Fall, would travel to the capital, Malabo, next week.
He said that while "little information" was available about the alleged coup attempt, "we condemn all attempts to seize power unconstitutionally" in the country.
Malabo's security minister, Mahamat Zen Cherif, made a televised statement on Wednesday saying that a group of mercenaries from Chad, Sudan and Central African Republic had tried to infiltrate Equatorial Guinea at the instigation of "certain radical opposition parties."
Hours after his televised statements, state broadcaster TGVE reported festivities on the border with Cameroon ...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast. Prior to incursions by Boko Haram nothing ever happened there... in which one "mercenary " was killed.

[NYPost] Saudi authorities have detained 11 princes after they gathered at a royal palace in Riyadh in a rare protest against austerity measures that included suspending payment of their utility bills, Saudi media reported on Saturday. Saudi officials did not respond immediately to a request for a comment on the report.
Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter, has introduced reforms that included cutting subsidies, introducing value added tax (VAT) and cutting perks to royal family members to try to cope with a drop in crude prices that has caused a budget deficit estimated at 195 billion riyals in 2018.
Online news website sabq.org said the princes had gathered at the Qasr a-Hokm, a historic royal palace, demanding the cancellation of a royal decree that stopped state payment of water and electricity bills for royal family members. Oh, the humanity!
They were also demanding compensation for a death sentence issued against a relative, Sabq.org said.
"They were informed of the error of their demands, but they refused to leave Qasr al-Hokm," Sabq said, quoting unidentified sources. "A royal order was issued to the royal guards ... to intervene and they were detained and put into al-Hayer prison in preparation to put them on trial."
It gave no details on the identity of the princes but said the leader of the group had been identified by the initials S.A.S.
"Everybody is equal before the law and anyone who does not implement regulations and instructions will be held accountable, no matter who he is," the website added.
A new concept for all involved, to be sure.
Arabic-language Okaz daily carried a similar report. Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
Saudi Arabia last year rounded up dozens of royal family members, current and former senior officials in a crackdown on corruption that has also strengthened the power of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

[DW] The homeless man claimed to have helped maimed concert goers in the immediate aftermath of the bombing at an Ariana Grande concert. Video recordings from the scene showed a very different story.
A homeless man who claimed to have helped victims of a suicide kaboom during a pop concert at Britannia's Manchester Arena in May pleaded guilty to stealing from them on Wednesday.
Chris Parker made headlines after British media interviewed him following the attack at the Ariana Grande concert that killed 22 people and injured 59.
The 33-year-old said in an interview with the PA news agency that "instead of running away [after the kaboom] my gut instinct was to run back and try and help." He added that a woman had died in his arms while he was attending to her.
Parker received more than $65,000 (€54,000) in donations after people raised money on a fundraising website in response to the interview.
However, corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds... security footage showed Parker had been wandering between the victims as they lay maimed and dying on the floor.
Police enjugged Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! Parker, who has previous convictions for burglary, on Tuesday after he failed to appear at Manchester Crown Court.
He admitted to stealing a mobile phone from a 14-year-old and a bank card from an elderly woman. He later used the card at a local hamburger restaurant.
Parker will be held in jug until his sentencing on January 30. Judge David Hernandez said a prison term was "most likely."

President Maduro's decree that "We are ALL rich and our stomachs full" doesn't seem to have made a difference. *snicker*
[Yahoo] Mobs of Venezuelans gathered outside some Caracas supermarkets on Saturday after President Nicolas Maduro's government forced shops to slash prices, the latest unrest in the country's food shortage crisis.
Authorities on Friday ordered supermarkets to cut prices to levels they were a month ago, a drastic reduction given Venezuela's hyperinflation.
At one supermarket in a high-end district of Caracas, hundreds of people including babies, pensioners and children with disabilities gathered in chaotic scenes.
"We're hungry! We want food!" they screamed.
"In my house, we don't eat three times a day," said MileidyAcosta, a 28-year-old with three children. "People are fed up. A person earning the minimum wage couldn't buy even tomato sauce."
Maduro raised the minimum wage this year, though at the black market exchange rate it is still worth just $2 per month. The Venezuelan currency has weakened some 98 percent against the U.S. dollar in the last year.
On top of hunger affecting millions, shortages of medicines have led to needless deaths as the country goes through an economic crisis. Long supermarket lines and people eating from the trash are common sights.
Maduro's government blames the problems on the opposition, the United States and business people he says are waging an "economic war" against his government.
Critics instead point to strict currency and price controls, enacted originally more than a decade ago, and a badly planned economic policy.
"This doesn't help us. If they supply something, it'll be gone in a few days and they won't supply more," said Edgar Romero, a 45-year-old drummer who said he initially had supported Maduro's predecessor Hugo Chavez. "But we have to eat." Hard lessons learned the hard way

[Jpost] A senior politician in Latvia labeled Russian "the language of international Zionism."
Alexander Kirshtejns, Deputy Speaker of the Latvian parliament, or Saeima, from the bloc of the National Association, made the statement, which at least one anti-racism activist in Latvia called antisemitic, on Thursday, the BaltNews service reported. He said Russian in this regard was the same as Yiddish and Hebrew.
Kirshtejns, a nationalist who has lobbied for the removal of street signs and monuments for Russian-speakers, said this during a debate on opposition to a government plan to switch all schools and educational institutions in Latvia to Latvian. Approximately a quarter of Latvia’s population of 2 million people are ethnically Russian, according to estimates.
To prove his point about Zionism, he cited Jewish-sounding last names of people he said were involved in protests against the plan to phase out the instruction in Russian in the country’s schools: Zhdanok, Gilman and Pliner. Latvians are very nice people
#2
My dear ol' dad told me that Latvians were probably the most actively Jew-hating nation in Europe. That Latvians under German rule would eagerly volunteer to be death camp guards, because they just really enjoyed the work.
So this kind of base anti-Semitism in modern Latvia does not surprise me.
#4
Russians are bad and anything Jewish is bad to the Latvians, g(r)omgoru, so the two are tied together in an emotional truth — the reality of Russian antisemitism does not enter the equation.

[Daily Caller] Admiral Mike Rogers is reportedly expected to step down this spring, retiring after four years as the director of the National Security Agency, Politico revealed Friday. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the four years which Admiral Rogers will soon complete is the standard tour of duty.
The embattled NSA director is said to have made the announcement to agency staff, Reuters reported Friday, citing a tweet by a Washington Post reporter. President Donald Trump will likely name a successor sometime before the end of the month.
Former President Barack Obama nominated Rogers in 2014, and he took the helm at a time when the NSA was still reeling in the wake of the devastating Edward Snowden leaks.
He faced staunch criticism from other intelligence and defense leaders, as former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter both recommended a little over a year ago that the White House relieve him of his duties, citing inadequacies in his performance.
Several major security breaches occurred on Rogers’ watch, such as the damaging theft of sensitive materials by Booz Allen Hamilton contractor and TAO employee Harold T. Martin III and another serious data breach in the summer of 2015. "[Rogers] has been at the helm of the NSA at the time of some of the most egregious security breaches," a senior administration official told the Washington Post in the fall of 2016.
He also aggravated the Obama administration by secretly meeting with then President-elect Trump in late 2016 without informing his superiors.
This past year, the NSA has been struggling to deal with the online leak of its top secret cyber warfare tools, and the news of Rogers’ departure comes amid reports that many highly-skilled agency staff members are fleeing the NSA for better opportunities in the private sector. The NSA has also been forced to handle the fallout after former contractor Reality Winner allegedly leaked the details of an agency intelligence report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Despite some of his shortcomings, Rogers has managed to reform Cyber Command and appears to have boosted the overall capabilities of this elite warfighting unit. He also maintains the support of many American lawmakers in Congress.
[GEO.TV] The SHO of Paharipura cop shoppe was suspended Friday after local councillor Malik Shahnawaz Khan reported police thrashed him when he stopped them from searching his house late Thursday night.
According to Shahnawaz, police wanted to search his house during an operation. However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... he added, since there were no female personnel with the force he did not let them enter his house.
Shahnawaz said police refused from calling female personnel and insisted they would search the house regardless.
Subsequently, an altercation took place between the police and Shahnawaz, locals said. The argument turned into a brawl between the two. The councillor showed bruises that he got during the clash.
Shahnawaz alleged that police broke into his house and damaged cupboards and door inside, while also took with them the closed-circuit cameras that were installed there. However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... he did not show his house to the media.
A committee has been formed under the charge of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa MPA Arbab Jahandad Khan, which will enquire the matter. Until then, the SHO has been suspended and closed to police lines i.e. he has been sent to the police lines from the cop shoppe.

Reading privileged memory with a side-channel
Posted by Jann Horn, Project Zero
We have discovered that CPU data cache timing can be abused to efficiently leak information out of mis-speculated execution, leading to (at worst) arbitrary virtual memory read vulnerabilities across local security boundaries in various contexts.
Variants of this issue are known to affect many modern processors, including certain processors by Intel, AMD and ARM. For a few Intel and AMD CPU models, we have exploits that work against real software. We reported this issue to Intel, AMD and ARM on 2017-06-01 [1].
So far, there are three known variants of the issue:
Before the issues described here were publicly disclosed, Daniel Gruss, Moritz Lipp, Yuval Yarom, Paul Kocher, Daniel Genkin, Michael Schwarz, Mike Hamburg, Stefan Mangard, Thomas Prescher and Werner Haas also reported them; their [writeups/blogposts/paper drafts] are at:
[ZDnet] Buried deep inside your computer's Intel chip is the MINIX operating system and a software stack, which includes networking and a web server. It's slow, hard to get at, and insecure as insecure can be.
Maybe you're not paranoid. Maybe they are out to get you. Ronald Minnich, a Google software engineer, who discovered a hidden MINIX operating system inside "kind of a billion machines" using Intel processors, might agree with this.
Why? Let's start with what. Matthew Garrett, the well-known Linux and security developer who works for Google, explained recently that, "Intel chipsets for some years have included a Management Engine [ME], a small microprocessor that runs independently of the main CPU and operating system. Various pieces of software run on the ME, ranging from code to handle media DRM to an implementation of a TPM. AMT [Active Management Technology] is another piece of software running on the ME."

What I'm not seeing in the tech media right now is any discussion of whether these problems can be expunged at the hardware level any time soon. Can it be solved by ten 9 Intel silicon? How bout AMD? I'm not exactly hearing those Ryzen chips are in the clear.
More likely, we will be told that "it's complicated," and like obuttholecare and DACA, "people are depending on it."

Right now the whole world uses Intel. If I were any other country I would be demanding our tech folk come up with their own processors without this spy crap in them and at that point Intel and AMD and Arm end up with very small niche markets. Future US generations will point the death of these companies directly at the idiots in the spook world.

How bout AMD? I'm not exactly hearing those Ryzen chips are in the clear.
I'm sure we'll hear about AMD's CPU flaws in the upcoming weeks. Granted I've been out of the geek business for over a decade, but I'd like to know how bad the performance hit's gonna be with any Intel / AMD fix.

Spoken like a true ZeroHedge conspiracy addict dimwit.
These "flaws" are part and parcel of CPU design orthodoxy going way back. Hence AMD and ARM also being "flawed."
