They say people tend to want what they can’t have. There may be some truth to that. However, sometimes, the things we want are the things we already had — in this case, it’s a person, our exes! But not all of them or the relationship we had with them. In some cases, ex sex is what people seek from their former flame — and it’s quite a common occurrence.Does ex sex help someone move on or does it do the opposite?In a study published by Archives of Sexual Behavior, they found out that it’s common for people to hook up with their former lover — while they’re still moving on from the *same* said partner! The researchers conducted two surveys. One was for the participants to provide a daily report about how they feel they’re moving on from their exes — from day 1 to 2 months post-breakup; the second survey was for participants to answer questions regarding their attempts to initiate rebound ex sex — and how it ultimately turned out for them. Most participants reported that ex sex did occ...Explainer: What’s behind Syria’s return to the Arab League?

By Kareem Chehayeb and Abby Sewell | Associated PressBEIRUT — The Arab League’s decision to re-admit Syria after shunning it for 12 years was a significant symbolic victory for Damascus, part of a larger regional realignment and an indication of the United States’ waning role, analysts say.But it may not immediately bring the reconstruction dollars that Syrian President Bashar Assad is hoping for. Nor is it likely to bring the changes Syria’s neighbors want, such as an agreement on refugee returns and moves to reduce drug trafficking.Syria is returning to the Arab fold even though there is no sign of a resolution to the country’s uprising-turned-civil war, now in its 13th year. The long-stalemated conflict has killed nearly a half million people since March 2011 and displaced half of the country’s pre-war population of 23 million. Multiple mediation attempts have failed.The league approved Syria’s readmission at a closed-door meeting in Cairo on S...Three-bedroom home sells for $2.3 million in San Jose

ANTIOCH — Isabella Collins vividly remembers the cold late December day when her brother Angelo, overcome with anxiety and paranoia, spun into a mental health crisis, prompting her to call 911.But the responding officers were not intervention specialists and were ill-equipped to deal with a mental health emergency. Within minutes, the Antioch officers physically restrained Angelo Quinto and he soon went limp on the hardwood floor, his family said. Three days later the 30-year-old Navy veteran died in a hospital.“I asked if there was somebody else that I could have called and a lot of people, everybody, said that I did the right thing,” Collins said. “But I’ve often said that the right thing wouldn’t have killed my brother.”Collins, speaking to a crowd Monday at a city of Antioch press conference on mental health emergency calls, said she has since regretted making that call.“It’s a regret that I will live with forever,” she said.At the time there were no other opti...Letters: Keeping talent | Short on solutions | Detentions help | Gun rights | Israel’s shoulders

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Royals LHP Ryan Yarbrough was placed on the 15-day injured list with what was classified as “head fractures” after taking a 106-mph line drive off the right side of his face Sunday. Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Yarbrough has three non-displaced fractures in different spots around his right eye.“He’s stable, improving,” Quatraro said before Monday’s game. “He never lost consciousness. He’s very aware of what’s going on around him. We don’t think at this time will require surgery. He’s getting further testing and we’ll have a better idea (of his prognosis) in the next 24 hours.”Quatraro was one of several Royals who stopped by the hospital after Sunday’s game against the Athletics. “If you weren’t looking at him, the conversations were totally normal,” Quatraro said, “you wouldn’t know anything was going on.”Athletics’ first baseman Ryan Noda lined the ball back up th...Latest news
