Police catch suspect in Medford murder case
Source: Mail Tribune, Medford, Ore.迷你倉Sept. 05--An anonymous tip led to the capture of homicide suspect Jose Valencia-Gaona, who was spotted Wednesday near the railroad tracks running through central Medford."We received word that this individual was seen in the area of Clark Street near the railroad tracks," Medford police Chief Tim George said. "We were able to get out there in a short time and arrested the suspect without incident."And so ended a three-day hunt for Valencia-Gaona, 45, who was lodged in the Jackson County Jail on a murder charge and $1 million bail.George hinted that Valencia-Gaona could face additional charges for his alleged actions at the murder scene after the Jackson County District Attorney's Office has reviewed the case."There could be charges such as menacing, as he did threaten some witnesses with a knife that night," George said.Investigators are still piecing together the events leading up to the murder of Maria Guadalupe Rodriguez, 38, who was brutally stabbed outside her apartment Sunday night."There are no happy endings to a homicide," George said. "This is a very sad case."Police allege Valencia-Gaona of Medford jumped from a hiding spot in the bushes outside Rodriguez's apartment at 1990 Table Rock Road at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday and stabbed her several times. He also swiped at witnesses who tried to intervene and ran away before authorities arrived, police say.George said Valencia-Gaona and Rodriguez knew each other but declined to elaborate."They were known to each other, but we won't go into the motive at this point," George said.Witnesses have reported that Valencia-Gaona was seen at Rodriguez's apartment in the weeks before the murde儲存倉.Having a suspected killer on the loose prompted the Medford Police Department to call in extra manpower working overtime to comb through leads.Officers spent hours chasing down faulty tips that had to be cleared, George said."We appreciate that the public was so willing to talk to us," George said. "We took every tip seriously and were fortunate that we got the one that led to this dangerous individual."In all, the department had 30 extra people on board for the 72-hour search effort. The agency's SWAT team was scheduled for training on Tuesday and was diverted to a search team, George said.Investigators will look into whether Valencia-Gaona had an accomplice helping him allegedly hide out from police in the days after the murder."We want to know what he's been doing since the murder happened," George said.Homicide detectives were interviewing Valencia-Gaona at police headquarters Wednesday in the hours after his arrest. Following the interview, he was shipped to jail, where he will wait until his first court appearance.A murder charge carries a minimum 25-year prison sentence upon conviction under Oregon law.George previously said Valencia-Gaona has lived in the area for the past four or five years. Court records don't show any criminal history for him in Oregon.Rodriguez left behind two children, a son who lives in Alaska and a daughter living in Eugene. The son is in Medford and has been in contact with police during the search for Valencia-Gaona."Our thoughts are with these family members," George said.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Mail Tribune (Medford, Ore.)

Dispute deepens in Rogers County
Source: Tulsa World, Okla.迷你倉Sept. 05--Dueling press conferences in Claremore and Tulsa on Wednesday showed a deep and growing divide among prosecutors and police in Rogers County.Law officers met the media that morning at the Claremore Police Department, formally asking the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to look into allegations of wrongdoing by District Attorney Janice Steidley, who serves Rogers, Mayes and Craig counties."It's everybody's mission here (Wednesday) to fix something that's badly broken," said Rogers County Sheriff Scott Walton, flanked by about 20 police officers and municipal officials from the area.Walton and two Claremore police officers are among the six people who requested a grand jury investigation into Steidley and other Rogers County officials. That petition was deemed sufficient for circulation last week by a Grady County judge, and a drive is underway to compile the 4,480 signatures necessary to convene a grand jury.In the office of her private attorney, Clark Brewster, Steidley held her own news conference Wednesday afternoon. There, Brewster placed the origin of the rift with Steidley's calling out the integrity of John Singer, an investigator with the Claremore Police Department.About eight months ago, Steidley introduced into the court record documents questioning the detective's credibility, determining that alleged misstatements by him related to a criminal case constituted "impeachment evidence" that the prosecutor is required to disclose, records show.A 1963 Supreme Court case, Giglio v. the United States, mandated that the prosecution in a criminal case should disclose any and all information that might be used to impeach the credibility of prosecution witnesses, including law enforcement officers."When Janice Steidley learned of the situation involving John Singer that she felt was game for cross-examination, and she was duty-bound to turn that over to the defense, she did so," Brewster said. "That's what's initiated essentially this mutiny. She's going to stand right in the same spot and do it again if she finds that it's the kind of thing that cross-examination should be engaged in."John Singer ought to invite that, because if he's going to be honest on the stand, he should be able to beat that cross-examination."Steidley took office as district attorney in January 2011."I thought I had a very good relationship with law enforcement up until this happened," the prosecutor said of the Singer disclosure."When it comes to a Giglio issue, whether that rises to a criminal level is a whole other issue," Steidley said. "That should not be intertwined. You can have credibility issues that are not criminal issues."Claremore Police Chief Stan Brown said Steidley never has let a district judge rule on the a儲存legations she made against Singer, adding that Steidley asked the state Attorney General's Office to investigate whether the officer had committed perjury.District Attorney Dennis Smith, who serves Beckham, Custer, Ellis, Rogers Mills and Washita counties, was assigned to investigate allegations of perjury by Singer.Representatives of the Attorney General's Office have told Brown that no perjury charge will be filed against Singer, Brown said."This is significant in many ways," Brown said in a prepared statement. "First, it clears John Singer of this horrific allegation. Secondly, it speaks to a pattern of poor judgment by District Attorney Janice Steidley."Walton said that "cops are scared to do their jobs. When the hunters become the hunted, it certainly sends out a message to the criminal that it's easier for them to do their job in these jurisdictions."In February, Singer filed a complaint against Steidley in federal court, alleging that prosecutors manufactured evidence that he had lied in sworn statements concerning a criminal investigation. A portion of that case is pending.Walton said Wednesday that he is asking the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to probe questions that largely mirror those in the grand jury petition.That document asks whether Steidley should be removed from office for "oppression and corruption in office and willful maladministration."The paperwork also alleges malfeasance by Assistant District Attorneys David Iski and Timothy Wantland and County Commissioners Mike Helm and Kirk Thacker.The petition requests an examination into claims that Steidley and Iski conspired to order a third party to destroy government emails and whether Wantland told a judge that the family of a child molestation victim had agreed to a plea agreement that included reducing the minimum punishment for the crime, court documents say.Claremore Mayor Mickey Perry and Claremore City Manager Jim Thomas were among the nonofficers who stood with police at the Claremore press conference. Bryce Lair, an assistant district attorney, joined Steidley and Brewster in Tulsa."I think the people of Oklahoma should be very proud of this woman, especially in light of what we find ourselves in here in Tulsa," Brewster said. "We're defending multiple lawsuits in the federal prosecution of police officers who weren't always truthful."When Janice Steidley became elected DA and stood up and said, 'Listen, I'm going to verify this information, and I'm not going to prosecute just based upon some officer's word,' they've now banded against her in some way."Rhett Morgan 918-581-8395rhett.morgan@tulsaworld.comCopyright: ___ (c)2013 Tulsa World (Tulsa, Okla.)

Dr Peter Morgan - Inventor in Sanitation - Receives the 2013 Stockholm Water Prize
STOCKHOLM, September 5, 2013/PRNewswire/ --Dr Peter Morgan of Zimbabwe today received the Stockholm Water Prize for his life-long work to protect the health and lives of millions of people through improved water and sanitation technologies.自存倉 H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden presented the prize to Dr Morgan at a Royal Award Ceremony during the World Water Week held in Stockholm, Sweden.An estimated 1.8 billion people live without access to safe drinking water and 2.5 billion people do not have access to adequate sanitation. The consequences are disastrous. Diseases caused by unsafe water and inadequate sanitation kill more than 5,000 people each day. Despite these staggering numbers, the area of sanitation rarely receives the attention it so desperately needs.This year's laureate, Dr Morgan, has spent the last four decades inventing and advancing low-cost practical solutions to provide access to safe sanitation and clean water that are being used by millions of people worldwide."Many currently existing solutions to provide clean water and sanitation are unaffordable, impractical and out of reach for the world's poorest people," said the Stockholm Water Prize Committee in its citation. "As a resul迷你倉新蒲崗 of Dr Morgan's pioneering work, countless communities now enjoy safer water, a cleaner environment and quality of life."On receiving the award, Dr Morgan said, "It is indeed a great honour and privilege to have been presented this unique award. Those of us who work in this vital area are uniquely privileged because we are well placed and have an important role to play in conserving, and yet delivering the most precious resource on Earth - fresh water. We have an opportunity to leave behind us a legacy of good work which benefits Mankind and hopefully Mother Earth too. We must all learn to become true partners with the world we live in."Several of Dr Morgan's most prominent innovations, including the "B" type Bush Pump and the Blair Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) Latrine, have been adopted as the national standard by the government of Zimbabwe.The Stockholm Water Prize is a global award founded in 1991 and presented annually by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI). H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden is the Patron of the Stockholm Water Prize.Note to Editors: For full press release, interview requests, photos, videos etc: .worldwaterweek.org/mediaStockholm International Water Institute迷你倉出租

Integrated Marketing Campaign Elevates 2014 Toyota Corolla To New Heights
TORRANCE, Calif.迷你倉新蒲崗, Sept. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The world's best-selling vehicle nameplate of all time is about to take drivers to new places. When the 2014 Toyota Corolla hits dealer showrooms this fall, the accompanying marketing campaign will showcase the car's upgraded technology and elevated styling--inside and out. The marketing campaign aims to reach the Millennial generation while still appealing to the baby boomer audience that has made the model so popular through the years.(Photo: photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130905/LA74423)(Logo: photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20030501/TOYLOGO)Developed in partnership with Saatchi & Saatchi LA, the campaign's theme is "Elevate." Extensive market research shows that Millennials are looking to take their career to the next level and are looking to buy their first "real" car to get them there. The design of the all-new Corolla is significantly elevated from the previous generations, creating a more dynamic and desirable image for the Corolla nameplate that will appeal to these younger buyers.The primary broadcast spot of the campaign, "Style Never Goes Out of Style," focuses heavily on pop culture, especially music and dance, and spans five decades, starting in the late 1960s (coordinated with Corolla's U.S. launch in 1968) and continuing through the present day. The music video-inspired commercials feature an original track by Shy Kidx and the "Elevated" dance choreographed for the campaign by Vincent Patterson and Tony Testa."The 'Elevate' campaign speaks to the evolution of the Corolla and Toyota's commitment to delivering exciting products that engage consumers in new ways," said Ed Laukes, vice president of marketing communications, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. "We're thrilled to debut a fun campaign that reaches a younger audience through social, digital and mobile elements that convey the Corolla's elevated design."The all-new 2014 Corolla made its global debut on June 6 at an invite-only event in Santa Monica, Calif. The extravaganza celebrated the iconic compact vehicle with nearly 50 years of success and nearly 40 million Corollas sold worldwide.The 2014 launch represents a dramatic restyling for the 11(th) generation Corolla. The next generation Corolla makes a stronger design statement, with more dynamic exterior styling, spacious interior and greater sense of craftsmanship. The vehicle's technology offerings have been elevated as well, including standard LED headlamps, Bluetooth audio and available Smart Key System with push-button start.The vehicle and its corresponding campaign continue the recent momentum set forth by design-focused product launches and build on Toyota's new Let's Go Places brand direction.BroadcastThe campaign rolls out with a lively :60 broadcast spot on top TV shows and in theaters with Corolla models that date back to the 1960s. It takes viewers through five decades of iconic song and dance in the spirit of an epic music video.In-cinema ads will feature a Shazam experience and sweepstakes opportunity.Print and DigitalThe print advertising depicts crowds of people celebrating the all-new model. Digital highlight videos feature details of the car through entertaining vignettes including battling DJs, a Beatboxer and a hip-hop music producer.

Former WMTW news anchor to launch interview program
Source: Portland Press Herald, MaineSept.存倉 05--Popular Portland television news anchor Shannon Moss, who was dismissed by WMTW (Ch. 8 ) in June, will begin hosting her own interview show on two Portland TV stations in October.Moss, who had been on Portland newscasts since 1999, is planning to produce and host her own half-hour interview show, "Split Screen with Shannon Moss." The show is slated to debut Oct. 5 on Portland station WPME (Ch. 35), a MyNetwork TV affiliate. It will also air Sundays beginning Oct. 6 on WPXT (Ch. 51), a CW network affiliate.Moss is funding and producing the show herself. She's not employed by the stations.On Wednesday, Moss said the show will feature two interviews per episode. One will be an interview with a well-known Maine or New England celebrity conducted in a "surprising" place, outside the person's usual environment, Moss said.The other interview will be with a lesser-known person doing surprising or "extraordinary" things, she said.Scheduled guests include former U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe, snowboarder Seth Wescott and a Maine surgeon recognized as a leader in her field who is also an avid hockey player.After her contract wasn't renewed by WMTW, Moss said she knew right away that she wanted to stay in Maine and keep working in journalism, if possible. Managers at WMTW would not comment on Moss' dismissal.Moss said her husband suggested she explore launching her own show, and she was bolstered by the fact that so many of her former viewers asked her -- in person or online -- when they might see her on TV again."My husband had said for a long time I should do something on m迷你倉 own, and I used to say, 'What am I going to do? Quit my job and start my own show?'," said Moss. "People kept reaching out to me asking where I was going to go. So I thought this was something I could try, to keep telling stories."A native of Rhode Island, Moss has two sons, ages 7 and 9. Her husband is a Portland police officer.Moss's show is scheduled to air on WPME Saturdays at 9 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. It will also air Sundays at 11:30 a.m. on WPXT. At first, it will air twice a month, but Moss says she hopes it will air weekly. It will also be shown on her website, Shannonmoss.com.Moss will be producing the shows, finding sponsors and interviewing guests. She'll pay the stations for use of their crews, she said.Tom Mac Arthur, general manager of both WPXT and WPME, said he "jumped" at the opportunity to put Moss' show on his stations, given her popularity and experience in Maine."No question her popularity is a factor. When I heard she was interested in doing this show, I knew we had to find a way to make it happen," said Mac Arthur. "With her experience and contacts, she'll have a lot of interesting people on."Moss said she's not sure if she will pursue a full-time TV news job in Maine in the future. For now, she wants to concentrate on the interview show."That (a TV news job) is on hold right now. We'll see what happens," Moss said.Staff Writer Ray Routhier can be contacted at 791-6454 or at:rrouthier@pressherald.comCopyright: ___ (c)2013 the Portland Press Herald (Portland, Maine) Visit the Portland Press Herald (Portland, Maine) at .pressherald.com Distributed by MCT Information Services自存倉
