Friends pay tribute to Levin stabbing victim
Relevant offers
Less than 24 hours after the fatal stabbing of a Levin man and more than 700 friends have flocked to Facebook to remember him.
Ambulance and police staff found Michael Les Valentine, 27, on the front lawn outside the house he shared with his fiancée and another flatmate at a rural property off State Highway 1, seven kilometres north of Levin, on Friday night.
He had been fatally stabbed in his upper body and emergency services were unable to resuscitate him saying his injuries were too critical for him to survive.
Police said last night three men have been arrested in connection to Mr Valentine's death.
A 31-year-old man had been charged with murder and would appear in the Levin District Court tomorrow morning.
Two other men, aged 22 and 29, have been charged with assault in relation to the death and will appear in court next week.
The 22-year-old man appeared in court yesterday and is due to reappear on Thursday, while the 29-year-old will make his first court appearance tomorrow.
An ''R.I.P Mike Valentine'' Facebook tribute page was created yesterday to remember the Levin man and has been inundated with members and posts since the stabbing.
Tributes describe Mr Valentine as a ''man with a heart of gold'' a ''cheeky smile'' and ''mischievous nature''.
Friend John Mcgregor wrote: ''A great man taken down in his prime, a fun loving man who always stood for the underdog, would have given the shirt off his back ... Mike it has been an absolute pleasure knowing you. May you forever rest in peace, our thoughts and sorrows, condolences and heartfelt love to your surviving family and your many loving friends and relatives.''
Another friend Hollie Gardner posted: ''All my thoughts go out to your family bro, I remember meany meany [sic] years ago when we were good friends. You were such a clown but u had such a good heart, had your sad times but could never really tell, just put on a happy face and made everyone laugh anyway... It's truly sad that you have been taken away from your loved ones so young and by someone else's doing. Just no u r very loved and will never b forgotten xx...[sic]''
Detective Senior Sergeant Marc Hercock said police do not think it was a random attack and were not looking for anyone else in relation to the death.
Information from witnesses had led police to believe a fight had preceded the stabbing, he said.
"We believe that prior to Mr Valentine's death there was some type of altercation involving a number of other people ... we understand that there was disagreement in regards to some minor matters between the victim and those arrested."
Police were now seeking sightings of a white Mitsubishi Pajero 4WD, registration CTJ418, between 6pm to midnight on Friday night.
"We believe this vehicle has been used at some point prior to, and after the fatal stabbing of Mr Valentine," Mr Hercock said.
The scene examination is expected to continue over the next few days with post-mortem examination being conducted today to determine the extent of the victims injuries.
Police said their thoughts and condolences were with Mr Valentine's family and friends at this difficult time.

Epson Stylus Photo 1400 printer
4.0 stars
Ease of use and set up, fast, near laser quality text, borderless photos
Not as fast as claimed, some fuzziness on text, dithering patterns visible in lower quality (read faster) print modes
The Stylus Photo 1400 is a well made beast with a silver and black livery that makes for an attractive package and while in use its bulk means it leaves a fair sized footprint, its articulated and telescopic feed and delivery trays mean its neat when shut and not in use.
The printer's front panel folds down to reveal the access for printing CDs and DVDs while just three buttons grace the right side of the machine, one each for power, paper feed and cartridge replacement. You also get a PictBridge port for direct connection of PictBridge-enabled cameras and a USB 2.0 and power socket feature on the back of the machine.
The printer uses six separate Epson Claria ink cartridges; the four "normal" inks of cyan, magenta, yellow and black plus a light cyan and light magenta are used too. Inks clip quickly and easily into place in the large print head and once there and the printer is shut, ink priming starts immediately.
Set up is fast and you get Epson's Creativity Suite software to tinker with as well as the print utility and printer driver on CD. You can print on media from 6 x 4-inch (10 x 15cm) enprint size up to the maximum A3+ size and you can print everything from top quality photos to more usual plain paper text documents.
Once up and running the 1400 soon reveals the first of the improvements over the 1290, while not being particularly fast compared to some of the Canon and HP competition, it is still much faster than the 1290 with an A3 plain paper print with text taking just under a minute to print from pressing "print" to the paper arriving completed on the output tray.
Printing a top quality borderless 6 x 4-inch photo takes a couple of seconds shy of 2 minutes, so not particularly fast but an A3+, top quality borderless print took 12-minutes on my G5 iMac setup. While the dye-based inks tended to feather (but only very slightly) when printing text on plain "office" paper, colour graphics on plain paper were better. But as soon as you put in top-quality paper such as Epson's Premium Glossy Photo paper and switched the printer into its advanced print mode (you get a basic and an advanced control option in the driver), the quality that this printer can achieve becomes quickly apparent. It is simply excellent.
The Epson Stylus Photo 1400 looks a little pricey but can be bought online for a lot less than the RRP price quoted here. And it may not be the fastest printer on the block either, but it certainly improves on the popular Epson Stylus Photo 1290 and can provide stunning photo prints.
A bit slow perhaps, but the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 still produces stunning photo prints making it an ideal choice for those requiring larger than A4 photo output.

South Africa's Julius Malema talks to Al Jazeera
05 Aug 2012 21:24 GMT | Politics, Africa, US & Canada, Burundi, Central African Republic
Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, has told Uganda's long-serving president to consider his own legacy and strengthen democratic institutions.
In comments made before meeting Yoweri Museveni, who has ruled the East African nation since 1986, Clinton said: "It is important for leaders to make judgments about how they can best support the institutionalisation of democracy."
"It's not about strong men; it's about strong institutions," Clinton, who is on the last leg of her 11-day African tour, said in the Ugandan capital, Kampala.
Although US officials stressed that Clinton's visit to Uganda was aimed at thanking it for its strong security assistance in Somalia and elsewhere, Washington has keenly followed Museveni's increasingly authoritarian policies.
Security forces have frequently clashed with opposition figures challenging Museveni's decades-long grip on power, suspecting the politicians are taking advantage of public anger over the rising cost of living to instigate Arab-style uprisings.Museveni rejects his critics' accusation that he is clinging to power, arguing that he has people's mandate gained through winning elections, although the opposition often disputes the election results.
Clinton's visit took her to a military base where Ugandan and US soldiers showed her the US-made "drone" aircraft now patrolling the skies over Somalia, where an African Union force is battling al-Shabab fighters.
Uganda, a strong US security partner, has contributed the bulk of the Somalia force along with Burundi.
Clinton said she foresaw a day when drones might help the US and Uganda with another of their joint military efforts - the hunt for Joseph Kony, a reclusive warlord believed to be holed up in the jungles of the Central African Republic.Gay legislation
Clinton also praised activists who opposed a tough draft law in Uganda targeting gays and lesbians, calling them an inspiration for others struggling to secure equal rights around the world.
She presented a coalition of Ugandan rights groups with the state department's 2011 Human Rights Defender Award, a signal to African and Islamic countries that the US will not backtrack in its fight against the legal and political persecution of homosexuals.
"It is critical for all Ugandans - the government and citizens alike - to speak out against discrimination, harassment, and intimidation of anyone. That's true no matter where they come from, what they believe, or whom they love," Clinton said.
The issue was raised in talks she held with Museveni, whose government has been accused of allowing political and religious leaders to drum up anti-gay feeling in the deeply conservative East African nation.
"You are a model for others and an inspiration for the world," Clinton said to representatives of the group, formed in 2009 to combat draft legislation which proposed the death penalty for anyone convicted of "aggravated homosexuality".
The bill, which sparked a global outcry, stalled in parliament but has been reintroduced in a watered down form by a member of Museveni's party.
The new version dropped the death sentence, but would still outlaw the "promotion" of gay rights and punish anyone who "funds, sponsors or abets homosexuality".

Obama's Appeal Is Not Dwindling. It's Just Becoming More Selective.
Firstly, Gallup finds that the enthusiasm of young voters -- the percentage that say they'll definitely vote -- has fallen a full twenty points from 2008, from 78% to 58%.
Speaking of, Matthew Condinetti compares Obama to Spinal Tap. Where once he filled huge college football stadiums, his campaign is now bragging about... well, I'll let Condinetti tell you.
The most telling moment of the campaign this week was not Mitt Romney or Joe Bidens speech to the NAACP convention, but President Obamas Tuesday appearance in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Nor was it the content of Obamas message that made his utterances noteworthy. It was the small venue: yet another community college. Now, Kirkwood Community College is no doubt a fine place, but Sports Authority Field at Mile High it is not. And one is unlikely to come across a better indicator of presidential shrinkage.
And speaking of his appeal becoming "more selective."
Having lost the broad appeal he enjoyed in 2008, he is making narrow appeals to particular voting blocs with the apparent aim of shoring up support and turnout. He's counting on Judis-Teixeira demographics to carry him to re-election.
Obama seems to have flip-flopped on the idea that elections should be about the big things, not the small things.

DHS Secretarty Janet Napolitano Confirmed as UC President
Last week's announcement of the nomination surprised many, as most system presidents come from campus administrations.
The University of California has a new leader. The regents on Thursday confirmed the nomination of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to be the system's 20th president.
The first woman to hold this post, she will earn a base salary of $570,000, slightly less than the base of her predecessor, Mark Yudof, and nearly three times as much as she earned as a Cabinet secretary.
Last week's announcement of the nomination surprised many, as most system presidents come from campus administrations.
