Deputies ask public’s help IDing suspicious incident suspect

Wednesday, 20 March 2013 11:45

Osceola County Sheriff's Office deputies are asking for the public's help in identifying two people, one who chased a female jogger on Tuesday.

Sheriff's deputies responded to a Golden Knot Drive home in Kissimmee. Upon arrival, deputies spoke with the victim who said she was jogging on Bellalago Drive South, when two Hispanic males approached her in a dark blue pick up truck. The passenger then exited the vehicle and chased the victim.

The victim described the suspect as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 7 to 5 feet 11 inches tall with a medium build. He has dark hair and dark eyes and was wearing a long sleeve tan or brown shirt with dark pants and a green or yellow reflective vest.

The victim described the driver as a Hispanic male with very dark skin, a slender face and dark hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Osceola County Sheriff's Office at 407-348-2222 or Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS (8477). Calls made to Crimeline remain anonymous, and tips that lead to the felony arrest of suspects and/or the recovery of stolen property and drugs are eligible for cash rewards of up to $1,000.

‘Cut The Wire’

Max Mosley, the former Formula One Boss turned privacy campaigner following a News of the Word sting, has told MPs he supports "cutting the wires" to internet sites who publish "the worst" pieces in breach of press regulation.

He was speaking alongside press regulation campaign group Hacked Off at Department of Culture, Media And Sport select committee into press regulation, 24 hours after MPs agreed a landmark Royal Charter.

Responding to a discussion about the impracticality of regulating sites based abroad, Mosley suggested that the British public could be banned from seeing such sites, if they routinely break British codes of conduct or publish falsehoods.

"Of course in the worst case you can, figuratively speaking, cut the wire. An order of the English court is enforceable in England. Of course nobody wants to do that," he said.

He added: "But don't pretend it's not practical, because it is."

Max Mosley wants to block some websites. Are we China now?

Index on Censorship's chief executive Kirsty Hughes said: "Closing down websites is the kind of behaviour expected of totalitarian regimes likes Iran and China, not the UK.

"From the start of the Leveson Inquiry, Index has voiced concerns about the failure to take the internet into account in discussions about press regulation, and we are worried that the Royal Charter will be used to chill the speech of bloggers and journalists online."

In 2008 Mosley won a court case against the now defunct News Of The World, which published pictures of him with prostitutes, on the grounds that it had breached his privacy.

The Spokane word : Gonzaga’s model is one Wichita State wants to emulate

Bing Crosby will always be the most famous person associated with Gonzaga, and it doesnt matter how many national championships the Zags go on to win in basketball. The Binger could croon.

When it comes to hoops, though, the Zags have jumped through plenty to get to where they are today, a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and a team that conceivably could reach its first Final Four.

As much run as Gonzaga has received for its incredible run of basketball success thats 15 NCAAs in a row if youre counting the Zags still havent been able to top that first appearance in the run, an Elite Eight as a 10-seed in 1999 that included wins over Minnesota (7 seed), Stanford (2) and Florida (6) before a loss to No. 1-seed Connecticut.

As coaches and athletic directors at schools with high basketball hopes but national anonymity have watched Gonzaga built a resume one that no longer includes anonymity they have whispered to themselves: Why cant we be like Gonzaga?

A few, like Butler, VCU and George Mason, have reached Final Fours in recent years. Butler and VCU have remained at a high level; George Mason has fallen off.

And what about Wichita State?

Could the Shockers, who with Gregg Marshall have been two consecutive NCAA Tournaments for only the third time in history, blossom into Gonzaga territory?

Marshall was intrigued by, yet unworthy of the question, he said. At least for now.

Its definitely possible for us, Marshall continued. But it would be hard to do and were certainly not there now. But with our resources, yeah, I think its certainly possible.

WSU has been to a Final Four, albeit 48 years ago. The Shockers have arguably been the best team in the Missouri Valley Conference over the past four seasons and with Creighton all but certain to depart for the new Big East Conference, WSU is poised to become the undeniable powerhouse in the league, much as Gonzaga has been in the West Coast Conference.
