Comedy star dies at age 87

Jonathan Winters, as a TV critic put it back in the Rat Pack day, was a "most unusual inventive fellow." He was influential, too. And also funny. Very funny. Winters, the comic who commanded showrooms and variety shows with character-driven quips and absurdities, died Thursday of natural causes at his Montecito, Calif. home, his website reported.

Five arrested in Hollywood-style Los Angeles-area bank heists

By Alex Dobuzinskis LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Police arrested five men who sawed into Los Angeles-area banks through the roofs in meticulously planned heists that involved everything from walkie-talkies to matching sneakers and netted a total of $6 million, authorities said on Wednesday. The arrests capped a year-long investigation of the men, who police say were involved in a scheme that targeted at least four southern California banks since August 2011. "This is something out of a movie script," Los Angeles Sheriff Lee Baca told reporters. "We're talking about a rooftop serial heist crew. We're talking about a lot of money, about $6 million total." The men, who had been under surveillance, were nabbed on Friday after they cut a hole in the roof of a Citibank branch in the Southern California city of Diamond Bar, Baca said. They were arrested when they tried to leave the site, police said. Police said the men worked together as a crew. But the suspects were not each believed to have been present at every one of the four banks that were hit, with different members of the crew working together at various times, said Sheriff's Lieutenant Kent Wegener of the major crimes bureau. They used power tools to gain access to banks through the roofs and busted into bank vaults, police said. They also employed walkie-talkies to communicate on-site and wore matching tennis shoes, to prevent any single crew member from being identified from footprints, Baca said. The getaway car was a van with no license plate, police said. "This is one of the most sophisticated and well-organized operations that we have ever come across," Baca said. Aside from cash hauls, the men also took some jewelry from personal safe deposit banks, Baca said. They appear to have spent the money on such high-priced goods as seven Ducati motorcycles, classic cars and a 24-foot power boat, police said. Those goods were recovered in police searches of California homes where the men lived. "These people were living rather lavishly," said Sheriff's Detective Nick Cannis, who worked on the case. He added that police got on the crew's trail when personal DNA found at one of the banks matched one of the suspects, who had served time in prison on another crime. The five men arrested in connection with the heists are: Alceu John Andreis, 44; Lucian Gabriel Isaia, 32; Dean Andrew Muniz, 45; Laurentiu Penescu, 38; and Daniel Soto, 36, police said. The men were each charged with two counts of burglary, grand theft, vandalism and conspiracy, except for Soto who was charged with only one count of each crime, Wegener said. Court officials could not immediately provide the name of an attorney for any of the men. Police said the men, who were all unemployed, did not betray any looks of surprise when officers arrested them on Friday.

Same-Day Delivery: Do Consumers Want It All and Want It Now?

Next-day delivery is so 2011. Who wants to wait five to seven business days to get that baby car seat or French press coffeemaker? Even two days can test one’s patience. You want it today. Retailers are beginning to accommodate consumers’ must-have-now sensibilities as same-day shipping competition heats up among big and small outfits. Walmart (WMT), eBay (EBAY) and even Google (GOOG) are experimenting with the service. Same-day delivery might be a saving grace for the urgent one-off purchase – last-minute Christmas gift, for instance – but in broader terms, will consumers pay extra for the convenience? A survey conducted by Boston Consulting Group last month suggests they won’t. BCG found that only 9% of the 1,500 U.S. consumers surveyed “cited same-day delivery as a top factor that would improve their online shopping experience, while 74% cited free delivery and 50% cited lower prices.”

Ukraine bans porn…except for medical purposes

The Ukraine Government has banned pornography…except where the porn is prescribed for medical purposes. Under the law, possession of any pornography (not just hardcore porn) is a criminal offense attracting a fine of roughly $110, or up to 3 years in prison. The production of porn was already illegal in the country. According to The Register, the problem with the law (like most censorship efforts) comes down to defining what counts as porn. The definition (as translated) reads “”Pornography is vulgar, candid, cynical, obscene depiction of sexual acts, pursuing no other goal, the explicit demonstration of genitals, unethical elements of the sexual act, sexual perversions, realistic sketches that do not meet moral criteria and offend honor and dignity of the human by inciting low instincts.”

Frozen Baby Mom: Woman Who Abandoned Newborn On Country Road Sentenced To 50 Years

A mom whose frozen baby was found along a rural highway in 2004 has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for killing the newborn. Katie Stockton, 32, pleaded guilty to a single count of first degree murder in a deal that spared her 11 other counts of murder. She was accused of leaving the newborn, who became known as Baby Crystal, on a desolate country road to freeze to death. Stockton admitted to keeping her pregnancy a secret, giving birth to the baby girl on December 17, 2004. She then stuffed the baby along with some soiled clothing into an orange shopping bag and left it at the end of a dead-end road near her parents’ house. When police found the dead newborn, Katie Stockton denied that it was her’s and then refused to submit a DNA sample. It took investigators years to nab Stockton. Detectives working on the case eventually found a cigarette butt that she threw away, testing the saliva to match it to Baby Crystal. The frozen baby mom was arrested in 2009 after a further DNA test proved with 99.96 percent accuracy that she was the newborn’s mother. When police searched Stockton’s car, which had been impounded for a year, they found two other dead infants wrapped in clothing. Before sentencing the frozen baby mom, Winnebago County Judge John Truitt listened to testimony about the skeletal remains of the two other infants found in the trunk of her car, but Stockton remained uncharged. “I was in a very dark place for many years,” Stockton told Truitt. “I apologize to those I hurt and ask forgiveness. I’m truly sorry for the pain and hurt they have endured.” Stockton’s lawyer, Public Defender David Doll, said the frozen baby mom is a good person deep down but struggled with drug addiction and an inability to face the truth of her pregnancy.

Pot House Slayings: Three Dead, Baby Found Alive, Up To 70 Pit Bulls

A pot house slaying in rural Idaho is under investigation, after a visitor on Friday saw a 2-year-old girl out wandering in the cold and then discovered three dead adults in the house. A second child, a 2-month-old baby, was rescued from where she lay under the arms of her mother, 27-year-old murder victim Yavette Chivon Carter. The house, locally known as a pit bull breeding operation, is located in Oneida County, outside the small town of Holbrook north of the border with Utah. The visitor had come to buy a pit bull but instead ended up finding the dead bodies of 61-year-old Brent Christensen, his son 32-year-old Trent Jon Christensen, and the son’s girlfriend Carter. There were around 50 to 70 pit bulls on the property. After making sure that the little girls were placed safely with their grandmother, the Oneida County Sheriff’s Department is working to feed the dogs and figure out what to do with them next. They’ve already received donations to keep the dogs healthy and fed for the time being, but anyone who owns any of the dogs is asked to come get them. Some of the dogs may be dangerous, as the investigators have discovered a fighting arena in addition to the breeding operation. They also found a professional marijuana growing operation, with 38 plants that they valued at around $95,000. Sheriff Jeff Semrad advised against jumping to conclusions about the motive behind the pot house slayings: “You could say it might be drug related, it might be dog fighting related, it may not have anything to do with either one or it may have something to do with both of them.” The time of death was estimated to be sometime late Thursday afternoon or early evening — which means that the 2-year-old was likely wandering outside for most of 24 hours before the deadly discovery. Investigators are being somewhat careful with the details, but they don’t think the public is in any danger, because it looks like the victims were targeted by their killers. There was an Easter party on March 31 at the house, and the sheriff is asking anyone who attended to call his office at 208-766-2251. KPVI News, a local TV news station, has posted some chilling video of the scene of the pot house slayings, including many of the pit bulls on the grim scene: Read more at http://www.inquisitr.com/607319/pot-house-slayings-three-dead-baby-found-alive-up-to-70-pit-bulls-video/#IpKO3SCIvCidlZWu.99

3.9 tons of marijuana confiscated by Texas Highway Patrol

For highway patrol officers, there's no such thing as a routine traffic stop. That adage was again proven true when a Texas Highway Patrol trooper pulled over a gas tanker to perform a routine visual inspection and discovered the tanker was carrying 3.9 tons of marijuana. It's unclear how the trooper was able to make the discovery. In a news release, the Texas Department of Public Safety estimated the value of the confiscated pot at around $3.4 million. The truck driver was arrested and charged with possession. He's being held on $1 million bond. According to DPS spokesperson Sgt. Johnny Hernandez, more arrests may be forthcoming. Hernandez told NBC News that the bust was "a big, significant seizure" and among the largest in recent memory. Earlier this year, federal law enforcement seized more than 14,000 pounds of marijuana along the Arizona-Mexico border. The estimated street value of the drugs was between $7 million and $12 million, according to News 4 Tucson.
