Here is the latest Oregon news from The Associated Press

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – A 17-year-old boy who was on a youth offender outing to an Oregon football game is accused of slipping away and raping a woman in Eugene. Jaime Tinoco is accused of attacking the 39-year-old woman near Autzen Stadium after the game on Sept. 13. Prosecutors say Tinoco is scheduled for arraignment in Lane County Juvenile Court this afternoon.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – A federal judge in Portland wondered how someone could have fallen for Amir Anjum Shamim’s scams. But at least six willing investors did, so the judge sentenced the Forest Grove man to three years and five months in prison for three counts of wire fraud. The Oregonian reports Shamim presented himself as an Arabian horse dealer, talking of gold investment pools in which $20,000 stakes would multiply into $300,000 windfalls in two months.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) – Police in Grants Pass say a man who barricaded himself inside his home died after both he and officers fired shots. Police Chief Bill Landis says it will take an autopsy to confirm whether the man was shot by officers or whether the man died of a self-inflicted wound. The Grants Pass Daily Courier reports a SWAT team found the man dead in a bedroom.

UNDATED (AP) — A new study finds that warming temperatures in Pacific Ocean waters off North America over the past century closely follow natural changes in the wind, not increases in greenhouse gases related to global warming. The study was released online yesterday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
