| Police: DNA sample leads to reopening of cold cases
On October 23, 2006, 36-year-old Daniel Patrick Monahan was convicted of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and that conviction appears to have led to the submission of a DNA sample to the Oregon State database. Subsequent routine testing led to matches with an October 2003 sexual assault in southwest Portland and a December 2004 sexual assault in southeast Portland. After reopening the investigations, detectives were required to relocate the victims and Monahan. The investigation was then forwarded to a Multnomah County Grand Jury, who indicted Monahan on two counts of rape in the first degree. Since learning Monahan was a suspect in the sexual assaults, detectives have been re-examining other reported sexual assaults where the suspect matched Monahan's description. They are now looking for victims of previously unreported sexual assaults in the event there are women who did not come forward at the time of the crime or anyone who may have had contact with Monahan between October 2003 and December 2004. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Vincent Cui at (503) 823-4066. .

About counting chickens
Only 12 of the 35 who answered the question said the economy would perform best under continued Republican control of the House and Senate. The best scenario, the economists said, would be Democratic control of the House only. The economists were almost evenly split over whether the stock market would perform better with a continued Republican lock on Congress or some measure of Democratic control. "The economy is doing very well," said Allen Sinai of Decision Economics Inc. However, it "would do better if the geopolitical side wasn't depressing Americans and injecting caution in business sentiment. The psyche of Americans is surprisingly low. New blood can improve sentiment." When asked what the new Congress should make its top priority, economists indicated their top two choices were health care and Social Security.
Feasting on Leftovers: Top 10 Year-End Deals
Overstuffed inventories and slow-selling models are making for some of the best deals ever on luxury cars. But bargain hunters should be prepared to haggle: Some discounts on 2007 model-year closeouts aren't guaranteed. Our list of the top 10 deepest discounts on luxury vehicles runs from a possible $8,635 off of a Saab 9-7X to upwards of $18,000 off a Cadillac XLR. Gas guzzling SUVs and high-powered performance cars fill the list and reflect consumers' increasing concern over fuel economy, among other things. Read more about market trends affecting vehicles here. The highest individual kickbacks on remaining 2007 models are on two-seat convertibles. Sales of most vehicles in that segment have plummeted by double-digit percentages this year, leaving unsold models collecting dust on dealers' lots, according to CNW Marketing Research in Bandon, Ore.
