Manchester shopping cart sting case is dead, prosecutor saysBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 26. 2013 10:35PM
MANCHESTER — The top prosecutor in Hillsborough County said this week the case is over against Alexander Ramasci, the south Manchester resident recently found innocent in last December's shopping cart sting by Manchester police.
County Attorney Patricia LaFrance said she had reviewed the June 13 order by District Court Judge Willam Lyons, who wrote that the charge — theft of lost or mislaid property — did not apply in the case and found Ramasci innocent.
"As far as I am concerned, this case is completed," LaFrance said in an email.
The case started in early December, when Manchester police arrested Ramasci after he took bagged merchandise and a purse with $60 from an unattended shopping cart at the T.J. Maxx plaza. Manchester police had placed the items in the cart as part of a sting designed to apprehend would-be thieves. Police charged him with misdemeanor theft of lost or mislaid property.
Ramasci claimed he wasn't a thief, just an ordinary citizen who planned to bring the purse home and track down the owner.
In his ruling, Lyons sided with defense attorney Joe Kelly Levasseur. The lawyer had argued that Ramasci could not be convicted of the crime because the property was neither lost nor mislaid — police knew where it was all the time.
Despite the verdict, the case seemed in limbo when LaFrance said late last week that she would review Lyon's order to see if an appeal was possible.
A legal expert on Wednesday said an appeal would open Ramasci up to double jeopardy — the retrial of a defendant after an innocent verdict, a practice forbidden by the U.S. Constitution.
"The short answer is, I don't think she can (appeal)," said Albert "Buzz" Scherr, professor of law at University of New Hampshire Law School. However, a prosecutor has the ability to bring another charge against a defendant who is found innocent, as long as it did not mimic the original charge, Scherr said.
LaFrance would not address a specific question about double jeopardy. The prosecutor said she has closed the case, so she did not need to analyze it for a possible appeal.
However, she said she will keep Lyons' order in mind when making decisions about how to charge such crimes in the future.
Levasseur on Saturday announced in the comments section of the New Hampshire Union Leader that he will run for LaFrance's job next year, after she said she would consider an appeal. LaFrance said she would not comment on his candidacy.

2013 Mitsubishi Mirage review
* New Mitsubishi Mirage supermini * Aimed at buyers on a tight budget * On sale early 2013, priced from around £8000...
The 2013 Mitsubishi Mirage is an all-new model that's designed to provide simple and affordable transport.
It's one of the smallest cars in the supermini class, but will also be one of the cheapest – with prices likely to start at around £8000.
For this you'll get a Mirage with a 70bhp 1.0-litre petrol engine, a five-speed manual gearbox and a pretty basic specification.
A couple of thousand more will buy you a 79bhp 1.2-litre manual car that's better equipped, while a CVT automatic model will sit at the top of the range.
Whichever version you go for, the Mirage emits less than 100g/km of CO2, which means it's exempt from road tax and the London Congestion Charge.
What's the 2013 Mitsubishi Mirage like to drive?
The Mirage has a soft suspension set-up that's good at soaking up minor imperfections in the road surface. However, the car still tends to thump over potholes and drain covers.
You also have to put up with quite a lot of body roll in bends, and while the steering is light and easy around town, it's disconcertingly vague at higher speeds.
We tried the 1.2-litre manual model, and this offers sprightly performance when you rev it, although the power delivery isn't particularly smooth.
The engine also emits a loud three-cylinder thrum at higher revs and sounds busy on the motorway. There's also enough wind noise to make you think one of the doors isn't properly shut.
What's the 2013 Mitsubishi Mirage like inside?
The cabin is spacious enough for four, and a fifth person can squeeze in for short journeys.
However, some people may struggle to find a comfortable driving position because there's no reach adjustment on the steering wheel and you can change only the angle of the seat base – not the height.
Over-the-shoulder vision is also compromised due to thick rear pillars and a rising window line.
What's more, there's no disguising the fact you're sitting in a budget car; the cabin has exposed screwheads, and most of the plastics look and feel rather low-rent; the piano black centre console trim on our high-spec test car was an exception. The dashboard layout is at least simple and easy to use.
The boot is pretty pokey, and there's a step in the floor when the rear seats are folded down.
Should I buy one?
Mitsubishi says it's benchmarked the Mirage against the Nissan Micra, but we can't help thinking the company should have set its sights a little higher.
The forthcoming Dacia Sandero will give you more space for similar money, while the Seat Mii/Skoda Citigo/Volkswagen Up trio prove that small, affordable cars don't have to be overly compromised.
When the competition is this strong, it's hard to recommend the Mirage.

Taylor Lautner loved 'comedic' Jacob role
- Bang Showbiz
- 8 November 2012
Taylor Lautner found it "fun" introducing a more comical side to his character Jacob Black in 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2'
Taylor Lautner loved introducing a funnier side to Jacob Black in 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2'.
The 20-year-old actor had "fun" portraying a more comical side to his alter-ego in the final fantasy film in the franchise and he enjoyed his character's ongoing transformation which sees him grow closer to Kristen Stewart's alter-ego Bella Swan.
He said: "It was really exciting for me to play this new side of Jacob in 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2.' For the whole 'Twilight' franchise he thought one thing, 'Bella, Bella, Bella. That's where I'm supposed to be.' And in this one he finally realises the correct placement of Bella in his life, and he realises who he truly is and where he truly belongs.
"He has a huge weight lifted off his shoulders and he's a new Jacob in this last one. That was exciting to play, he gets to have a smile on his face more, he gets to crack a few jokes. I get to play a more comedic side of Jacob. It was fun. What I love about Jacob so much in the 'Twilight' franchise is that he's never stopped evolving, he's always changing, from movie to movie - huge leaps. As an actor that's a dream to play."
Taylor admits he's enjoyed having four different directors for the five movies in the franchise because it has enabled him to bring different sides to Jacob by listening to advice from several filmmakers.
He added to FlicksandBits.com: "When you make a normal movie, you film for three months, you play the character once, then you say goodbye. With this one it's completely different. You're able to see the movies, think about things that maybe you want to change or bring to it differently.
"You get different input from different directors. I loved the fact that we got four different directors for the five movies. We were able to continue learning throughout the past four years, and bring different sides to ourselves to the characters. That was a one of a kind experience."
'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2' is released in the UK on November 16.

WOODSTOCK TWP. — An investigation continued Friday into a fire that consumed two cottages and damaged two other structures Thursday night at Devils Lake.
Addison Fire Chief Tim Shaw said two state fire marshals were at the scene Friday, one from Jackson and another from Lansing, to help determine the cause of the blaze that destroyed a house at 5004 Clearwater Beach and gutted a home and burned a garage at 5010 Clearwater Beach. The siding of a house at 4990 Glenwood Court was damaged. As of Friday evening, the source of the fire remains undetermined, though gasoline has been ruled out, Shaw said.
A total of 55 firefighters and 19 trucks responded to the 8:34 p.m. fire. Initial responders found one cottage fully engulfed in flames. Fire units from Addison, Cambridge Township, Somerset Township, Adrian Township, Clayton, Hudson, Columbia Township and the county emergency services truck responded. Pittsford manned the Addison station.
Witnesses reported hearing three small explosions as the fire progressed, before a larger explosion rocked the neighborhood and surrounding area. Shaw said a propane tank blew up after the fire began and threw debris that landed about 200 feet away.
"It was probably a 20- or 25-pound piece of metal flying through the air," Shaw said.
A statement issued Friday by Consumers Energy spokesman Dan Bishop said an investigation by the utility found natural gas was not the cause of the fire.
Shaw said Friday afternoon that neither natural gas nor propane has been ruled out.
Investigation and cleanup efforts continued at the scene Friday afternoon, where passersby took pictures and talked among themselves about what they saw or heard.
Barb Stubli, who lives near the scene, said she remembered hearing several small explosions that drew her family's attention to their neighbor's home.
"Just as we opened the door, we heard a boom that resembled a cannon going off," she said. They called 911 while they watched the fire accelerate out of control.
Daily Telegram editor Mark Lenz contributed to this report.

Newcomer Snyder lifts Sox over PadresSportsDirect
July 02. 2013 11:07PM
Brandon Snyder hit a three-run double while John Lackey won his third straight decision with a season-high eight strong innings the Red Sox downed San Diego, 4-1, Tuesday night at Fenway Park.
Jacoby Ellsbury, David Ortiz, Jonny Gomes and Jose Iglesias each tallied two hits for the Red Sox, who won for the sixth time in seven games. Lackey (6-5) continued his dominance at Fenway Park this season, allowing one run and six hits to improve to 4-1 with a 1.32 ERA at home.
Jesus Guzman had two hits and homered off Lackey in the seventh inning for the Padres' fourth run over their last four games. Robbie Erlin (1-1) needed 93 pitches to get through 3 2/3 innings, surrendering three runs on five hits and three walks against the majors' highest-scoring offense.The Red Sox threatened in the first after Dustin Pedroia drew a two-out walk and raced around the bases on Ortiz's line drive down the right-field line, but Padres catcher Nick Hundley easily tagged him out at home. Boston put a runner on in each of the next two frames, but didn't break through until the fourth.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Police found a body late Saturday in a backyard bungalow belonging to a masked gunman who is accused of setting the residence on fire before killing two members of a Southern California family and wounding three others.
The middle-of-the-night shooting rampage killed a father, who was shielding two of his children, and his 4-year-old son, Inglewood Police Chief Mark Fronterotta said. His 28-year-old wife was shot in both legs but managed but managed to carry the wounded 4-year-old out of the house.
Inglewood Police Lt. James Madia said an autopsy will determine whether the body is that of Desmond John Moses, 55, who investigators believe went on the early morning shooting rampage over a dispute with the victims, who live on the same property in front of him,
A manhunt for Moses will continue until the body is identified, he added.
Investigators believed Moses wore a dark cap and a white painter's mask when he entered the family's home around 4 a.m. Saturday and fired 10 times.
Paramedics found the woman collapsed on the street. The child, who suffered a bullet wound to the head, died at a hospital.
"This is a horrific crime. It's inexplicable why somebody would do this," the chief said.
Madia said Moses lived in the bungalow for 17 years, while the family lived in the front house for 8 years.
Fronterotta would not discuss the nature of the dispute, but the property owner told the Los Angeles Times that Moses had been fighting an eviction notice and recently lost his case in court.
A woman who knew the family, Judy Castellanos, told the Times that the suspect was reclusive and would not let anyone look inside his home.
"He had been asked to leave by the end of this month," she told the newspaper.
After the shooting, police evacuated about 15 nearby houses to search for Moses while firefighters and investigators sifted through Moses' bungalow to determine whether he returned there after the shooting.
Madia said the search of the badly burned bungalow took hours because it was packed with debris.
"He was kind of a hoarder or pack rat," Madia said. "So that, along with the destruction from the fire made it a complete mess. When his body was located it was hard to tell who was under the rubble."
The victims' names were not released pending notification of relatives.
The mother and her 7-year-old daughter, who was shot in the chest, remained hospitalized in stable condition, Madia said. A 6-year-old boy, who was shot in the pelvis, was released from the hospital late Saturday.
An 8-year-old boy escaped injury.

Cold weather tips for pet owners
Cold weather tips for pet owners
TORONTO, Jan. 17 /CNW/ - The Toronto Humane Society advises pet owners to take precautions for their pets during the cold temperatures expected for Toronto.
"Cold temperatures and wind chill not only affect you, but they also affect your pet," said Daniela Roque, spokesperson for the Toronto Humane Society. "When bundling up to go outside this weekend, remember that your pet will also need some extra care."
Some cold weather tips include: If your dog is sensitive to cold because of age, illness or breed type, take him outdoors only to relieve himself. After trips outside, check and clean your dog's feet. Sharp ice can cut the pads of paws, and ingestion of salt and antifreeze can make your pet sick. Keep your cat indoors. In cold weather, outdoor cats sometimes crawl into a car's warm engine and get injured by the fan belt. Before starting a car, honk the horn, open the hood of the car, or bang loudly on the hood to frighten away any animals sleeping there.
The Toronto Humane Society is a not-for-profit organization funded through charitable donations dedicated to promote the humane care and protection of all animals and to prevent cruelty and suffering.
Our stories derive from various news sources through press releases and from various pet-related sources. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to post them here.

Recreation and the theater
It has come to my attention that my level of participation in the Jamestown Community Theatre has been publicly called into question, and the organization itself has been inaccurately portrayed as an independent group making use of the Community Center. Without speculating on the motivation for such statements, I offer the following information so that your readers may be better informed and reach their own conclusions.
Immediately after the Jamestown Community Theatre's first production in the fall of 1990, the group donated half the cost of exit and emergency lighting for the Community Center. In 1993, the Community Theatre became affiliated with the town Parks and Recreation Department. Operating as a town recreation program, the Jamestown Community Theatre is completely self-funded. The group deposits all of the proceeds from its shows into a dedicated town account which is used for startup funds for upcoming shows and improvements to the group is also required to provide a permanent seat on its board of directors for a voting town representative, and should the group disband, all tangible assets become the property of the town of Jamestown. These stipulations enabled the Jamestown Community Theatre to be insured by RI Interlocal Trust as a town program, at no additional premium to the town. Over the years, the group has periodically used a combination of surplus show proceeds from the town account, donations, and sponsorship funds to make improvements and purchases which benefit all of the users of the Community Center. Here is a list:
• 1991, contributed 50 percent of the cost of exit and emergency lighting: $750.
• 1993 to 1995, undertook a major project to convert the stage area into a more functional and safe performing space for large groups. In roughly chronological order:
• Removed side walls and low ceiling from stage area to create better access to the stage and allow for easier changes of sets and scenery.
• Installed a fly system
which provides for interchanging of backdrops and set pieces by raising and lowering, and installed light bars for lighting installations.
• Installed a backstage door and outdoor staircase for access to the stage from outside, which also created an emergency exit from the stage area in case of fire.
The combined cost of the above three items was about $3,000, plus countless hours of volunteer labor under the expert guidance of volunteer Bar Wharton, who designed the rigging and provided basic plans.
• Purchased portable staging system: $7,993.
1996 to present: • Donated 50 percent of the cost of a hard-wired fire alarm system for the building: $2,580.
• Replaced outdated fuse box and installed a new electric panel and wiring to safely serve the demands of lighting and other electrical equipment: $1,715.
• Contributed 75 percent of the cost of insulating the ceiling and upper walls in the stage area and installation of firecode ceiling tiles and Sheetrock: $2500.
• Purchased scaffolding: $1,620.
• Purchased fire retardant main curtain, rear curtain, side drapes and backdrop: $9,301.
• Purchased 300 new upholstered folding chairs: $5,997.
• Purchased skirting for the portable staging system: $1,197.
• Installed long-range sound reinforcement over the stage area: donated.
Total contribution: $36,653.
Additionally, at its June 13, 2005 board meeting, the group discussed a contribution to the Community Center sprinkler-system project. A motion to donate $5,000 toward any deficit in the town's capital funds for the project was made and seconded. The group awaits details on the financial status of the project before deciding whether to allocate funds to this specific project, or to other needed improvements to the building.
All of the above expenditures improve safety and access for all Community Center users, or represent equipment that is regularly loaned free of charge to other civic groups, including but not limited to the Rotary Club, the Jamestown Community Chorus, the Conanicut Island Art Association, the Lions Club, PTO, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, the annual tree lighting, the Friends of the Jamestown Library, etc. The Jamestown Community Theatre also makes an annual award to one or more deserving Jamestown high school seniors.
All cast and crew members of JCT productions must be Jamestown residents. All pay an annual "membership" fee which, at $15 for an individual and $25 for a family, is comparable to the registration fees for other recreation department programs. Each production lasts about 10 weeks. Participants rehearse two or three times per week, more often during "production week." This is similar to the time frame for most youth sports activities and other programs. The cast and production staff of each show usually total between 100 and 150 volunteers of all ages, and the audiences total in the thousands. Despite its high visibility, the time dedicated to overseeing this program is no greater than that spent on other recreation department activities, and is required since it is a town sponsored program. I have held the town's seat on the theater board since its inception, by mutual agreement of the town and the group. My frequent personal participation in productions, however, takes place mostly on my own time, and helps fulfill the group's stated mission of "fostering the growth of the arts, culture, and social awareness and education of youth and adolescents of the Jamestown community through the joint involvement of Jamestown youth and adults in the theatrical experience." Historically, such worthy goals for our youth have been universally supported in Jamestown, especially by our elected leadership, and the appropriateness of recreation department participation in the achievement of such a mission has been unquestioned. Witness the enthusiasm and support for the grant funded Teen Center program, initiated and overseen by the recreation department.
Throughout the year, I dedicate regular office time to organizing, fundraising and scheduling for a broad array of other programs and special events, as well as devoting considerable after hours and weekend time to the hands-on supervision of those activities. My work on behalf of the Jamestown Community Theatre represents only a small portion of that overall effort.
Matthew J. Bolles, director of
Parks and Recreation

Highway barn water
The following letter was recently sent to the Town Council and copied to the Press.
The last design plan submitted to RIDEM by GZA, the town's engineering firm, designates the water supply that is to be used by the town's Public Works Department at the proposed highway garage as non-potable. The plan shows a waterline from a nonpotable well on Lot 47 going across the landfill to the highway garage on North Road.
A non-potable well can contain concentrations of various chemicals such as volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds as well as heavy metals. The Jamestown landfill has exhibited all of these compounds with some exceeding safe drinking water standards.
Non-potable water is dangerous and therefore its use is restricted: no dermal contact, inhalation, or ingestion exposure. In short, it should not be used for drinking, showering, contact with skin, clothing, or food.
Although non-potable water can be filtered, filters pose problems. No single filter removes all contaminates and none are fail safe. Examples include:
1. Carbon treatment — removes some VOCs, but not heavy metals.
2. Reverse osmosis — removes some metals, but not VOCs and semiVOCs.
Also not practical for a large system because 75 percent of water is wasted.
3. Ozone — removes phenols, but not metals. Also can produce harmful byproducts in drinking water. Example: if bromide is present in raw water, ozone reacts with it to form bromate, a known carcinogen.
4. Distillation — removes heavy metals, but not VOCs or semi-VOCs.
Filtration systems also must be meticulously maintained. For carbon filters the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry conducted an Exposure Investigation. They noted that depending on contaminants showerheads and filters became clogged within two months. They recommended that filters be replaced every three months, more so if showers last more than 1 1/2 minutes to 10 minutes per day.
"The effectiveness of a carbon unit also depends on the extent of contact between the carbon and untreated water. Channels can form within the filter allowing some water to bypass the filtering material, short circuiting treatment.
"Healthy Drinking Water for Rhode Islanders, Activated Carbon Treatment of Drinking Water Supplies, RIDOH & URI, April 2003
Using a non-potable water supply for DPW workers is a human health exposure which should not be contemplated. As Town Councilors, a safe water supply is your responsibility. You cannot depend on the Department of Environmental Management, Office of Waste Management, to weigh in on this subject. Their only jurisdiction is to remediate the landfill. Water choice is yours alone.
Once the garage is built, however, and the workers are exposed to nonpotable water, OSHA will weigh in. Regulation 1910.141(b) (2) (i) (iii) "Non-potable water shall not be used for drinking, washing of any portion of the person, cooking, washing of food, washing of cooking or eating utensils, washing of food preparation or processing premises, or personal service rooms (i e rest rooms), or for washing of clothes."
Jamestown faces enough serious health problems without exposing workers to water which knowingly contains dangerous pollutants.

Empty Bowls thanks
The response to the Empty Bowls night was overwhelming! Thank-you to all who came and supported this fight against hunger.
We raised over $5,500 (from the sale of 356 bowls, spoons, and napkins, plus 40 T-shirts) which will be donated to the RI Food Bank, North Kingstown Food Pantry, Jamestown Food Closet, and the Jonnycake Center.
This was a combined effort of: the Lawn Avenue Middle School, the Melrose Avenue Elementary School, the after-school programs, Ann Defley, Louise Brendlinger, Kim McDonough, Ali's Challenge, the Parent Teacher Org, the Jamestown Press, Yankee Housewrights, McQuade's Marketplace, House of Pizza, Superior Baking Company, Ace's Pizza, Village Hearth, Dunkin' Donuts, Tim Horton's, Belmont Market, Stop 'n' Shop, the Salvation Army, many parents, and the children of Jamestown.
Our objectives were:
• To raise as much money as possible to fight hunger.
• To increase awareness of hunger and foster an attitude that doesn't allow it to exist.
• To nurture the creative process through finding new solutions to old problems.
• To provide a powerful learning service project for students.
We think we did it! If you didn't have the opportunity to buy a bowl, spoon, and napkin, we'll have the few left available at the Teen Craft Fair at the library in December. All the proceeds from that sale will go to the RI Food Bank.
Many thanks again.

Hanson, and Linda Faria, parent

Good deed
While on a bicycle ride in Jamestown last month, I lost my change purse. It contained some cash, bank card, drivers license, and a treasured "lucky" silver dollar dated 1878.
Thanks to the honesty and effort of a state DEM parks & recreation employee at Ft. Wetherill at Beavertail, my lucky silver dollar came back to me!
He apparently found my purse while working at Beavertail. I had stopped at the lighthouse to shed some clothing and had left it on a post. He made a few phone calls and determined that a Jamestown resident with the same last name did in fact know me. He delivered the purse to him fully intact. The individual would not leave his name. He said he was "only doing his job."
It is indeed gratifying and heartwarming in today's sometimes-greedy and selfish society to be the beneficiary of such a good deed! I am very grateful! Thank you, anonymous sir!

Michael Rubin, posting at the Corner, adds another level of sophistication to the discussion of Hillary Clinton's claim that President Obama's policy of engagement with Iran failed, not because it was inherently a bad idea, but rather because of the rise of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Iranian society. He writes:
The problem is that the IRGC was in control well before Obama took over; its rise is nothing new. Here's my colleague Ali Alfoneh, back in February 2008 detailing just how the Revolutionary Guards had eviscerated Iranian society.
Michael agrees with my observation that the gains of hardliners in Iran may be related to internal developments, but adds:
Obama's failure to understand the role and reality of the IRGC prior to launching his initiatives was certainly reflective of professional incompetence. Then again, Obama recognized that he lacked foreign policy experience. This is, in part, why he selected Joe Biden to be his vice president. Unfortunately, Biden's record on Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is troubling indeed.

Once the Oscars had all been handed out, it was time to party in Hollywood. EW made the rounds last night at the Governors Ball and other events around town. Read to find out who was partying into the wee hours!
Immediately following the Oscar ceremony, stars flocked upstairs to the Governors Ball. Catered for the last 19 years by Wolfgang Puck, stars ate delicacies like smoked salmon and caviar on Oscar-shaped crackers, chicken pot pie with black truffles, and chocolate soufflé with espresso ice. Attendees were treated to the sounds of crooner and pianist Michael Feinstein, who played Broadway and movie classics – quite in keeping with the music theme of the ceremony itself.
Around the room, celebs hobnobbed and drank champagne. Les Miserables Best Actor nominee Hugh Jackman and his wife sat near the stage with his family, in from Australia for the occasion. Said Jackman of being on stage earlier in the night: "It was an unbelievably fun experience to perform at the Oscars — and so much more relaxing not to have to host."
Barbra Streisand managed to pull Adele into her half-moon shaped booth and the two divas appeared to have a heart to heart. James Brolin and Streisand buddy designer Donna Karan were about five feet away, talking to others. Oscars executive producer Neil Meron said of Streisand's performance: "That was one of the first things we did after we got the job … book Barbra."
Charlize Theron and her date stuck close to Joseph Gordon Levitt at the ball. Levitt, who danced with Seth MacFarlane and Daniel Radcliffe in the show's opening number, said he loved MacFarlane as host, calling the performance "smart and funny."
People rushed Jennifer Lawrence as she came into the room, and her dad, who trailed her, was so jubilant he exclaimed, "I feel like I need to hug someone!" So he hugged a young girl standing nearby. He followed his daughter through the ball, carrying her Oscar.
Silver Linings Playbook Best Supporting Actress nominee Jacki Weaver was about to begin a conversation with someone when up walked Anne Hathaway, sans her Oscar. "I don't know you well, but I love your work," Hathaway told Weaver. She then asked how long Weaver was going to be in town and said that she wants to do something with her. Could they meet? Weaver said yes. Hathaway jumped and said, "Yeah!" and then kissed Weaver's hand.
In the elevator on his way out, Christoph Waltz was asked if he wanted a little Oscar to go along with his big Oscar. (Puck made little miniature chocolate Oscars, covered in edible gold). Waltz replied, "I have two in my pocket already."
EW's sister publication, InStyle, held their annual Oscar Viewing party at Boa on the Sunset Strip. The fete brought out stars like Erika Christensen, Peter Facinelli, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and L.A. Clippers player Deandre Jordan.
After making it through the awards season gauntlet, many of the fashion stylists, publicists and other behind-the-scenes people finally got a chance to kick back and relax while watching the ceremony. The party is known for the massive dinner buffet and candy table. It's meant to be a low-key affair, and many guests typically head to the Vanity Fair party (just a few blocks down Sunset) after the show ends.
At the Twentieth Century Fox/ Fox Searchlight viewing party and after party at Lure nightclub, celebs and execs danced the night away to DJ jams after the Oscar ceremony was over. Dessert trays lined the entrance late into the night and Quvenzhane Wallis was the belle of the ball — clearly up way past her bedtime — in her sparkly blue Armani Junior dress. She was escorted to the reserved area, but made her way out and danced up a storm by the bar to Michael Jackson and Icona Pop. Beasts of the Southern Wild director Benh Zeitlin was also in attendance, chatting with Fox execs and others. Later, Ang Lee and Life of Pi cinematographer Claudio Miranda swung by the affair.
The most hipster event of the night — no food, and $3 Miller High Life as the drink of choice — was the Unofficial Court 13 gathering at Monty's in downtown LA. The dive bar hosted the Beasts of the Southern Wild crew, including Zeitlin who'd shed his tie after the Fox party.

New Milford approves Murphy as football coach
New Milford's Board of Education approved John Murphy as its football coach Wednesday night.
Murphy, 45, who coached 16 years and won three state championships at Masuk before resigning in December, will begin his new job Thursday morning. He also was hired as the school's girls lacrosse coach and as a para-educator at Schaghticoke Middle School in New Milford.
He takes over for Chuch Lynch, who resigned in December after nine seasons.
"We're excited. I think we got a coach who will give us our best opportunity to be successful," said New Milford athletic director Lance Pliego, who added that Murphy far outshone the position's 10 other candidates throughout three rounds of interviews with administrators, parents and other members of the community.
"As we went through the interview process, we saw him as a guy who's clearly -- not just because of his history and his resume -- somebody that had a lot of interest in our program, our town and becoming a part of our community."
And the town's equally excited.
"Our players and a lot of people around town are anxious to get to know him," Pliego said.
New Milford, which has been traditionally strong in wrestling and lacrosse, has had little success in football.
New Milford has had just four winning seasons since 1994, its last a 6-5 mark in 2008.
Its best season was in 2001 when it went 8-3 and lost to Foran in the SWC championship game. As a borderline Class LL/L school, it has never been to the state playoffs.
"I know the records and results didn't show it, but I think we've had good coaching and good players, but I think we might have been one or two players away from being a solid football team," Pliego said. "We just haven't had the history. We haven't been able to translate the mentality of our wrestling and lacrosse programs to football."
Murphy, on the other hand, was 158-33-1 in 16 years at Masuk. His teams won six SWC championships, reached the playoffs 12 times and won three state titles in seven championship appearances. He could not be reached for comment Wednesday night.
"We're hoping coach Murphy will help get more players to come out for football and sell the program and change perceptions, get the kids to puff their chests out a bit more and have that confidence to win games," Pliego said.
"I don't think we're that far away. I know the kids are excited. They'll find a coach who is passionate to get this turned around."
Murphy will be paid stipends of $5,822 for football and $4,626 for girls lacrosse.

Michael Bisping Offers Up Half-Assed Apology For Spitting/Illegal Knee During UFC 127 Fight With Jorge Rivera
Michael Bisping, speaking through his fellow countryman and self-designated public defender, UK Telegraph reporter Gareth Davies, offered up a feeble apology today for his in and post-fight antics during and following his UFC 127 bout with Jorge Rivera.
"Leading up to the fight, I wanted to be the bigger man and not rise up to it, but as it gathered more momentum, my blood was boiling more and more inside. The guy [Jorge Rivera] and his team relentlessly mocked me for a couple of months on the internet, and they definitely crossed the line a couple of times… and I was provoked and if anyone says they didn't see that they are either blind or pig-ignorant. I went into the fight very angry. I let it get the better of me after the fight. I want to make it clear – I never spat on his cornerman. I spat on the floor to let him know what I thought of him…I said some words…I'm not even sure what the words were now, that was immediately after the fight had finished. After that, I instantly apologised. It was out of order. As a father, as a mixed martial artist, or possibly even as a role model, it's not a way I should be behaving. It's not how a mixed martial artist should be acting; not how any many should be acting. Of course, I do regret it, and I owe Dana [White, UFC CEO], and the UFC an apology and I won't be acting like that again."
Now if he left it at that, the apology may not have been construed as being transparent, but as Bisping explained, he can't just be content with being the bigger man and taking the high road.Read More DIGG THIS

For dates, check his website at engelbert.com.
Q: Where is home for you?
A: City of Angels. Los Angeles. Was it a chosen location because part of my name in German actually means angel, or was it simply a mere coincidence? Actually, it was a real angel, Jayne Mansfield, who first invited me to her home, if ever I should make it to LA in the early days. Years later, I purchased her property, sight unseen, when I made the move from the United Kingdom. "The Pink Palace" became our home for over a quarter of a century, and Los Angeles made its mark on my life forever. I return to my home in England as often as I can. With so much family back in Leicester and innate British pride, I don't think I'd ever give up my open fields and bricks and mortar across the water.
Q: What is your favorite vacation destination?
A: Barbados. When I first made it in the business and forced myself to take a chunk of time away from the road to be with my family, I went to Settlers Beach in Barbados. We would go six weeks at a time with our children, a teacher, my parents, her parents and a friend or two. We'd rent three houses and set up life as if we hadn't a care in the world or a world to get back to. It was perfect. My beautiful wife, Patricia, and I renewed our wedding vows in Barbados a few years ago.
Q: Where are your favorite weekend getaways?
A: Paris has to be at the top of the list. I spent my honeymoon there without any money. The city and its excitement and romance saved the day. Everything was painted beautiful under the brush stroke of the magic that is Paris.
Q: What are your favorite cities?
A: London, Sydney, Moscow, New York, Los Angeles, Paris and Prague.
Q: Where would you like to go that you have never been?
A: Venice. It slips into my dreams often.
Q: What are your favorite restaurants?
A: Fouquet's (www.fouquets-barriere.com/bars_restaurants_en.php?lang=en) in Paris; Dee Bee's Cafe in Double Bay, Sydney; Woo Lae Oak (woolaeoakbh.com/index2.htm) for Korean in Beverly Hills; Saketini (saketini.com), a tiny treasure in Brentwood for the best fish and calamari salad; and Swatlands Indian Restaurant (swatlandsrestaurant.co.uk) in my hometown of Leicester, England, which has the best curry.

One of the main benefits with Hire Purchase is the ability to buy a high value vehicle on monthly payments.
Hire Purchase allows you to tailor your finance package as deposit, length of time and monthly payments are all flexible.

This video features the Mercedes-Benz C-Class range.
Ten Second Review
This much improved version of the fourth generation Mercedes C-Class features a package of significant enhancements. The exterior revisions are subtle but inside there are important changes, including the option of a fully-digital instrument cluster. As previously, the core range is built around saloon and estate models and there are fresh entry-level petrol and diesel engine options. Plus the driving experience has been enhanced with the optional application of Mercedes' latest autonomous driving technology.
This fourth generation '205' model series C-Class has delivered a stronger proposition with a greater focus than was the case with its predecessors. That's been necessary for two reasons. First, stronger competition in the mid-sized premium badged executive saloon and estate segment, not only from the usual suspects, BMW's 3 Series and Audi's A4, but also from cars like the Jaguar XE and the Lexus IS. Secondly, there's been the fact that Mercedes buyers have had an alternative to this car in the shape of the brand's similarly priced and comparably sized CLA four-door coupe. Since this MK4 model's original launch at the end of 2013, Mercedes has gradually broadened out the range, first with fire-breathing Mercedes-AMG performance derivatives, then with sleek Coupe and Cabriolet body styles. By early 2018 though, it was clear that a little more remedial work would be needed to keep this car competitive with the best of the opposition, hence the introduction of the heavily revised version we're going to look at here.
Driving Experience
The C-Class has for some time been, and will continue to be, a car with a clear focus on comfort and refinement - at least in its mainstream guises anyway. It was the first model in this class to offer the option of air suspension, though most buyers stick with the standard steel springs. As before, across the range there's a standard 'DYNAMIC SELECT' driving modes system - and you can add to that with optional 'DYNAMIC BODY CONTROL' adaptive damping. All models come as standard with 9G-Tronic automatic transmssion, which now features nine speeds and buyers certainly aren't short of engine options, with most still likely to want a diesel. There's a base 160hp 1.5-litre unit in the C200d. But most buyers opt for the 2.0-litre 194hp unit on offer in the C220d variant, which offers the option of 4MATIC 4WD. The entry-level petrol unit in the base C200 is now a 184hp 1.5-litre powerplant featuring the latest 'EQ Boost' technology which uses a 48volt on-board network with a belt-driven starter/alternator. When accelerating, 'EQ Boost' system can assist the engine with an additional 14hp, bridging the brief moment until the turbocharger has built up its full charge pressure. 4MATIC 4WD is optional. Mercedes has also developed a 2.0-litre 258hp version of this petrol engine for the C300 derivative. Beyond that lie only the Mercedes-AMG high performance derivatives. The first of these, the 3.0-litre V6 C43 4MATIC, now puts out 390hp, 23hp more than before. Beyond that lies only the V8 C63 AMG model, with a 4.0-litre V8 Biturbo engine offering either 476 or 510hp.
Design and Build
You'd have to know the C-Class quite well - or be a Mercedes sales person - to immediately notice the exterior aesthetic changes made to this revised model. The design of the front and rear lights is defined by clear-lined contours. On both the saloon and the estate, the bumpers have been re-styled both front and rear and the sportier 'AMG Line'-trimmed models get a sleeker front apron and rear diffuser. Large wheels emphasise the rear and communicate a stylishly sporty character, while 'intelligent' Multi-Beam LED headlamps that adapt to toad conditions are now optional. Inside, the alterations are more obvious, with the introduction - as an option - of the fully digital instrument display already familiar from the brand's E-Class and S-Class models, complete with touch-sensitive steering wheel buttons. This is complemented by now-larger centre console screens that can be either 7-inches or 10.25-inches in size, the latter format used for the top 'COMMAND' multi-media set-up that many customers will want. Otherwise, it's much as before, with a broad centre console swooping between the front occupants. In the back, rear seats space isn't especially generous but there's a very class-competitive 480-litres of boot space too. With the estate, the figure's 490-litres.
Market and Model
Prices haven't changed too much, as before sitting mainly in the £33,000 to £50,000 bracket. There are two main body styles, saloon and estate - plus coupe and cabriolet derivatives too. And for the four door and the station wagon, three trim levels, 'SE', 'Sport' and 'AMG Line' before you then get into the super-serious Mercedes-AMG C43 4MATIC and C63 high performance models. As for equipment, well that's more generous than it used to be. Media connectivity will be important to likely customers, so every C-Class comes as standard with an 'Audio 20' multimedia system featuring two USB ports, an SD card reader, Bluetooth connection and media interface. Many though will want to upgrade to the 10.25-inch 'COMAND Online' centre-dash screen that boasts fast 3D hard-disc navigation and access to a Concierge service that'll connect you through to help with every aspect of your journey. This can connect into a 12.3-inch digital cockpit display. There's now an optional wireless charger and an 'Energizing' comfort control system that links various interior functions to create a series of relaxing themes. Plus there are now two optional audio upgrade choices - a 9-speaker 225-watt set-up and the top Burmester surround sound system. Safety-wise, 'Active Brake Assist' autonomous braking is standard. And there's an optional 'Driving Assistance' package that delivers the 'Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC' system enabling 'level 2' autonomous driving capability.
Cost of Ownership
The new 1.5-litre EQ Boost petrol engine fitted to the base C200 enables a useful improvement in efficiency to be possible, so don't automatically opt for a diesel this time round. It features a clever starter/alternator that during deceleration recuperates kinetic energy and charges the battery. For auto models, there's also a gliding mode that operates at cruising speeds, switching the engine off, before seamlessly re-starting it when you brush your foot against the throttle. And a 'recuperative brake with intelligent engine stop' function which also works when the vehicle is coasting. Mercedes says that internal friction is much reduced with this new four cylinder unit. It manages 53.3mpg on the combined cycle in a 2WD saloon model on standard wheels, while emitting 123g/km of CO2. As for the new 2.0-litre diesel engine fitted to the C220d, well it performs to the latest super-stringent Euro 6d-TEMP standard and uses a particularly efficient 'step recess' combustion process - named after the shape of the combustion case in the piston. Internal friction is also reduced here - by around 25% - and the engine's more compact, leading to significant efficiency benefits. A C220d saloon 2WD model on standard wheels manages up to 61.4mpg on the combined cycle and CO2 emissions of 117g/km. What else might potential C-Class buyers need to know? Well maintenance costs will be kept down thanks to an ASSYST Plus service indicator on the dash that'll calculates precisely when a dealer visit might be needed. And residual values will be as high if not higher than anything else in the class.

In David Lemons, generations of students have had a passionate teacher whose methods for demystifying government were, as I look back on them, genius.
Lemons taught civics, American government, American political behavior, and other subjects at my alma mater, Urbana High School. He used techniques that made learning about our political system fun – such as the "mock" political conventions he led at the University of Illinois Assembly Hall, which included participants from high schools all over the state.
There was great excitement when thousands of teenagers were brought together to play the roles of campaign managers, delegates, the press, and others with all the signage, speeches, and fanfare you might see at the real political conventions (including the balloons).
But, there was a greater point that Lemons knew well: Citizens in a free society must understand how their government works if that society is to remain free. They must understand their civil and human rights, and the value (and even brilliance) of divided government with co-equal and independent branches.
On this Law Day, as we commemorate the 150th anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation and 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I have a Dream" speech, we should remind our children of the struggles that brought this government and these rights to life.
The sort of civics education our children need has been under threat for years. As has been noted, civics education throughout our nation continues to receive decreasing support. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan observed in 2011 that more than ever, the social studies are not a luxury, but a necessity.
At the Illinois State Bar Association, we provide teachers with significant resources for their use in teaching students about government and our system of rights and responsibilities.
This year, we are devoting extra energy to initiatives designed to help ensure that our three branches of government remain co-equal, strong and independent. These initiatives have placed attention on the need for adequate court funding, and the importance of minimizing the role of politics in judicial selection – both keys to having truly divided government.
All of us should champion the importance of quality civics education before our respective school boards, at service clubs, and in letters to the editor. We need to make the point that civics education plays an important role in a healthy democracy and should be placed on at least the same level as other portions of the curriculum.
Thus, I want to congratulate David Lemons and teachers like him who have educated (and continue to educate) so many about how government works, citizen rights and responsibilities, and the importance of maintaining each of the three branches of government in order to preserve a free society.
Their efforts are in sync with the Illinois State Bar Association's commitment to preserving the rule of law, and will pay dividends for generations to come. All of us should continue to encourage and support them.
Note to readers – John E. Thies is the 136th president of the Illinois State Bar Association. He practices law with the Urbana law firm of Webber & Thies, P.C.

The Associated Press
This recipe for transitional cinnamon raisin bread from Reinhart's book "Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads," looks daunting but requires less than an hour of hands-on time.
The resulting bread is moist with a crisp crust and pleasant texture. Whole-grain skeptics and lovers will appreciate the comforting cinnamon flavor and the personal touch that goes into home baking.
Transitional Cinnamon
Raisin Bread
Start to finish: 15 hours
(50 minutes active)
Makes 2 loaves
For the soaker:
2-1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
5/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, buttermilk, yogurt, soy milk or rice milk
1-1/3 cups raisins (optional)
For the starter:
2-1/4 cups unbleached bread flour
1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
3/4 cup milk, buttermilk, yogurt, soy milk or rice milk, at room temperature
1 large egg, slightly beaten
For the final dough:
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
5/8 teaspoon salt
2-1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1 tablespoon honey or 4 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup cinnamon sugar (3 tablespoons sugar mixed with 2 teaspoons cinnamon)
To make the soaker:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and milk. Mix for 1 minute, or until all the flour is hydrated and the ingredients form a ball of dough. If using the raisins, add them and use wet hands to knead them into the dough.
Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours. If it will be more than 24 hours, refrigerate for up to 3 days. Remove it 2 hours before mixing.
To make the starter:
In a second large bowl, mix the bread flour, yeast, milk and egg until they form a ball of dough. Using wet hands, knead the dough for 2 minutes in the bowl. The dough should feel very tacky.
Let the dough rest for 5 minutes, then use wet hands to knead it for another minute. The dough will become smoother, but still be quite tacky. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 3 days.
About 2 hours before mixing the final dough, remove the starter from the refrigerator.
To make the final dough:
On a lightly floured counter, use a metal pastry scraper to chop the soaker and the starter into 12 smaller pieces each. Sprinkle the pieces with flour to keep them from sticking together.
To mix by hand, combine the soaker and starter pieces in a large bowl with the whole-wheat flour, salt, yeast, honey, butter and cinnamon. Stir vigorously with a large spoon or knead with wet hands until all of the ingredients are well mixed, about 2 minutes. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky; if not add more flour or water as needed.
To use a stand mixer, in the mixer bowl combine the dough pieces with the flour, salt, yeast, honey, butter and cinnamon. Mix with the paddle attachment (preferable) or dough hook on slow for 1 minute to bring the ingredients together into a ball. Switch to the dough hook and mix on medium-low, occasionally scraping down the bowl, until everything is well combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Add more four or water as needed until the dough is soft and slightly sticky.
Dust a work surface with flour, then roll the dough in the flour to coat. Knead by hand, incorporating only as much extra flour as needed, until the dough feels soft and tacky, but not sticky, 3 to 4 minutes. Form the dough into a ball and let it rest on the work surface for 5 minutes while you prepare a clean, lightly oiled bowl.
Resume kneading the dough to strengthen the gluten and make any final water or flour adjustments, about 1 minute. The dough should have strength, yet feel soft and supple, and very tacky. Form the dough into a ball and place in the prepared bowl, rolling it to coat it with oil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let the dough rise at room temperature until it is about 1-1/2 times its original size, about 45 to 60 minutes.
When the dough has risen, lightly coat 2 standard loaf pans (4 1/2-by-8-inch pans) with cooking spray.
Dust the work surface with about 1 tablespoon of flour and gently transfer the dough to the work surface with a plastic bowl scraper (try not to rip or tear the dough).
Divide the dough in half, then roll each piece into an 8-inch square about 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle each square with some of the cinnamon sugar. Tightly roll up each square. Place the loaves into the prepared loaf pans.
Mist the tops of the loaves with cooking spray, then cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until the loaves crest above the pans, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the pans on the middle rack of the oven, lower the temperatures to 325 degrees F., and bake for 20 minutes. Rotate the pan 180 degrees and continue baking, until the loaves are a rich brown on all sides, sound hollow when thumped on the bottom, and register at least 195 degrees F. at the center, about another 25 to 40 minutes.
Transfer the loaves to a cooling rack and allow to cool for at least 1 hour before serving.

Las Vegas Show — Le Reve – The Dream – 9:30 PM
Date(s) - 03/06/2017
9:30 pm - 11:00 pm
Wynn Las Vegas
Taking its name from a 1932 Pablo Picasso painting that hotel mogul Steve Wynn has in his private collection, LE REVE opens with a woman falling asleep as her bed descends into the water as she begins to dream.
From then on, it is a true journey into the subconscious mind. Rain, fire, and action will be everywhere you look during the first few minutes of this Vegas production showing just how fast things can change in a dream state. Some of the dreams are bright; some will be dark, and some could even be thought to be sexual and/or controversial. Le Reve uses 87 performers from 17 different countries to tell the story using a unique blend of aerial acrobatics, water ballet, synchronized swimming, comedy, and exhilarating feats of athleticism. This wonderfully different combination allows performers to enter and leave the stage both through the air and water. Plus, the stage atop of the water rises and lowers during the show to create different spaces for the performers to do their magic, including a breathtaking 87-foot high dive.
