 TORONTO (Dow Jones)&#8211;BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd. (RIMM) reiterated in a statement late Thursday that it cannot allow any government monitoring of the BlackBerry traffic of its business customers. 

 The statement came in response to the Indian government&#8217;s request for access to encrypted messages on the BlackBerry in times of emergencies. The government threatened to ban corporate email and BlackBerry Messenger services unless a solution is found by Aug. 31.

A woman who accuses Bill Allen, the former CEO of oilfield services company VECO, of having sex with her while she was underage says she wants to know why the US Department of Justice wont press charges. State and federal agents investigated Allen after he was accused of having sex with at least two underage girls.
Allen, the governments star witness in Alaskas political corruption cases, is currently in federal prison after pleading guilty to tax charges and bribing state lawmakers. Hes due for release after his three-year sentence ends in 2012.
Attorney Chris Cooke says Allen flew his client, Paula Roberds, from Seattle to Anchorage multiple times for sex while she was under the age of 18. He says Roberds met with investigators multiple times, and was told her case would go to a grand jury.
Heres a person that comes forward, heres a case that gets put together &#8212; they let her down, and thats really upsetting, Cooke said.
Cooke says Roberds met with investigators several times, and supplied them with evidence.
That was very difficult for her, and then to have it apparently be for nothing, you know: shes very disappointed, Cooke said.
The Anchorage Police Department spent years piecing together the case, then handed it over to the Justice Department. APD spokesperson Lt. Dave Parker says the lead investigators are disappointed. 
Det. Vandergriff and Det. Logan are two of our most experienced detectives, and both of them felt that this would be going to grand jury, Parker said. But again, we dont understand the inner workings of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RALEIGH, NC &#8212; 			A blistering report this week identifying how North Carolinas state crime laboratory workers misrepresented blood evidence in dozens of cases over 16 years covered only two of Roy Coopers years as attorney general.
But its all Coopers task to clean up the problems at the State Bureau of Investigation lab and overcome questions about its work. The lab will need to regain faith from attorneys and the public, as well as the lawmakers who approve funding for the lab and its crime-fighting tools.
It is credibility thats going to have to be earned back, said Rep. Rick Glazier, D-Cumberland, an attorney who once represented a man exonerated in 2001 when DNA evidence proved him innocent of a rape for which he had been imprisoned. There are going to have to be a lot of folks working to regain the publics trust and the systems trust of the forensic results coming out of the lab.

		<description><![CDATA[About every fourth soldier here, where 48,000 troops and their families are based, has been in counseling during the past year, according to the services medical statistics. And the number of soldiers seeking help for combat stress, substance abuse, broken marriages or other emotional problems keeps increasing.
A common refrain by the Armys vice chief of staff, Gen. Peter Chiarelli, is that far more soldiers suffer mental health issues than the Army anticipated. Nowhere is this more evident than at Fort Hood, where emotional problems among the soldiers threaten to overwhelm the system in place to help them.
Counselors are booked. The 12-bed inpatient psychiatric ward is full more often than not. Overflow patient-soldiers are sent to private local clinics that stay open for 10 hours a day, six days a week to meet the demand.
We are full to the brim, says Col. Steve Braverman, commander of the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center on the post.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Aug. 22 (UPI) &#8212; Charges against a former Massachusetts police chief in the accidental assault weapon death of an 8-year-old should be dropped, his lawyer says.
Former Pelham Police Chief Edward Fleury and two other men face a charge of involuntary manslaughter in the accidental death of an 8-year-old boy who shot himself in the head when he lost control of an Uzi submachine gun he was firing, the Springfield (Mass.) Republican reported Sunday.
The annual gun show at the Westfield Sportsmens Club allowed visitors of all ages to fire assault weapons, the newspaper said.
Fleury who organized the event at the club is also charged with furnishing a machine gun to a minor, prosecutors said.
Rosemary Curran Scapicchio, Fleurys attorney, argued Fleury could not have been expected to believe that there would be an accidental death at such a show.
Hampden District Attorney William M. Bennett responded by saying Fleury in effect furnished the gun under state law, and sponsoring the exposition and receiving a share or proceeds from sale of ammunition made Fleury liable for involuntary manslaughter, the Republican reported.
Hampden Superior Court Judge C. Jeffrey Kinder said he was taking under advisement the request by  Scapicchio to drop the charges against Fleury.

		<description><![CDATA[If elected governor, Republican Meg Whitman plans to add California to the list of states suing to overturn the new federal health care law. Or maybe she wont.
The most recent statements by Whitmans campaign are much more equivocal than the position she took in March, during the Republican primary. When supporters at a campaign event asked her whether she would force (her) attorney general to join the health care suit, she said yes.
Questioned by reporters later that day, Whitman acknowledged that a governor couldnt order the independently elected attorney general to sue, but said she would strongly encourage a suit.
Last week, however, campaign spokesman Darrel Ng said Whitman might not take either of those actions, even though she still objects to parts of the new law.
Whether she does a new (legal) effort, encourages the new AG (attorney general) to join an effort or not is really irrelevant, Ng said by e-mail. He said a pending lawsuit by Virginias attorney general will decide the issue. With the future of that case unknown, he said, it would be premature to make a decision.
The Virginia suit and a separate lawsuit by more than a dozen states in a Florida federal court challenge both aspects of the health law that Whitman opposes: its requirement that all Americans buy insurance by 2014 or pay a tax penalty, and the costs that it allegedly shifts to the states.
Whitmans Democratic opponent, Attorney General Jerry Brown, supports the federal law and has criticized Whitman for threatening to sue.
The candidates for attorney general also [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The headline says it all: The NYDN editorial board has selected former State Insurance Superintendent Eric Dinallo as voters best choice for state attorney general in the five-way Democratic primary. 

You can read the full News editorial here, but Ill give you some excerpts:
Dinallo offers a blend of first-rate legal, executive and regulatory experience that is unique among the contenders and equips him best to lead New Yorks top law office amid rising challenges.
With substantial accomplishments in the public and private sectors, Dinallos range extends from the guts of Wall Street to the workings of the health insurance industry - both of which will be high on the agenda.
And he has been nothing if not effective under some very high-pressure circumstances.
During a stint as a bureau chief in the attorney generals office, Dinallo devised the legal strategies that thrust the agency to the forefront of cracking down on financial industry conflicts of interest. In the process, he won a $1.4 billion settlement from 10 big banks.
Later, serving as state insurance superintendent, Dinallo played a critical role in stabilizing AIG when the companys exposure to subprime mortgage securities threatened the economy.
Bottom line: Dinallo has gotten the job done across a career that also included prosecuting violent and white-collar crime for the Manhattan district attorney, advising financial firms on following the rules and, now, serving as a professor of business ethics at New York University&#8230;
&#8230;Breadth of experience gives him the edge over a second strong candidate: Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice&#8230;

    FORT WORTH &#8212; Dela Greene sat, as she always does, in the chair nearest the front window.
Her white hair, fine as spun glass, had been shampooed, rolled onto curlers, dried beneath a vintage dome dryer and expertly combed into a smooth coiffure, the ends turning gently inward.
A bubble, hairdresser Rachel Salinas called the style.
It is not. Its a page boy, Greene said. Or thats what they called it when I was 18 years old.
By whatever name, the hairdo pleased the client, which pleased her favorite stylist.
As they routinely do at the end of their hour together, Greene and Salinas smiled into a framed mirror and began playfully crooning the lilting lyrics that Maria sang in Westside Story as she described her reaction to the miracle of love.
I feel pret-ty &#8230; oh so pretty&#8230;
A shampoo and set cost $12 at Carmens Beauty Salon.
The laughter, the camaraderie, the thoughtful acts of kindness are free &#8212; gifts treasured by longtime customers of the small south Fort Worth salon that will close Saturday after almost 40 years.

		<description><![CDATA[Omaha, Neb., Aug 21, 2010 / 07:47 am (CNA).- Last week, a law restricting abortions in Nebraska was permanently blocked from taking effect. The law, which was passed earlier this year in the state, would have required a health screening for any woman planning to have an abortion.
On Wednesday, Nebraskas Attorney General Jon Bruning said he agreed to a permanent injunction against the new law, reported the Washington Post. The law was challenged by Planned Parenthood of the Heartland and had already been prohibited from taking effect by a temporary ruling earlier this year. 
Spokeswoman Shannon Kingery for the attorney generals office told the Washington Post that Bruning did not think the law had much chance against a lawsuit. Losing this case would require Nebraska taxpayers to foot the bill for Planned Parenthoods legal fee, said Kingery. We will not squander the states resources on a case that has very little probability of winning.
However, if a second state abortion law is challenged, the pro-life organization, Nebraska Right to Life, is confident the attorney general will defend it. 
The law, scheduled to take effect on October 15, would ban abortions after 20 weeks of gestation based on research which says fetuses can feel pain at that point. The law would preempt current legislation which limits late term abortions only to those infants whose lives outside the womb arent deemed viable. 
According to the Washington Post, the Center for Reproductive Rights has suggested that they may challenge the ban.
Any suggestion that Attorney General Bruning is shirking his [...]]]></description>
