Brain harvesting inquiry: No criminal charges
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) -- State and federal prosecutors said Wednesday they have completed their investigation into brain harvesting activities within the state Medical Examiner's Office and determined that no criminal charges are warranted. The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Paula Silsby and Maine Special Assistant Attorney General Richard Murphy, who oversaw the joint investigation conducted over the past two years. The probe centered on the collection of at least 99 brains from deceased Mainers that were shipped to the Stanley Medical Research Institute of Bethesda, Md., between 1999 and 2003. More than a dozen families have filed civil lawsuits alleging that the brains of their loved ones were removed by the Medical Examiner's Office without their consent.
College Basketball Tale is Now 'How the West is 1'
It's true that ACC powers Duke and North Carolina made the East the ruling Beast of college basketball for much of the last two decades. Now, UCLA and a rapidly improving USC are combining with Arizona, Oregon, Washington State and perhaps even Stanford, California and Washington to make the West the Best. It is the Pacific-10 Conference -- not the ACC, the Big Ten or the SEC -- that is ranked No. 1 in college basketball's latest RPI rankings. And there are five -- count 'em, five -- Pac-10 teams currently ranked in AP's Top 25 poll. UCLA is No. 3, followed by Oregon (7), Arizona and Washington State tied at No. 17, and surging USC (25). California (12-7, 4-3) would probably be knocking on the door if its talented center, DeVon Hardin, hadn't hurt his knee and there's nothing wrong with the 2006- 07 credentials of Stanford (12-5, 4-3) either.
Katrina: Hood, Coast win big with settlement
Attorney General Jim Hood has won a significant victory in wrangling a settlement with State Farm Fire & Casualty Co. over Katrina-related damages. Subject to federal court approval, the company will pay about $80 million to more than 600 policyholders who sued over claims from the Aug. 29, 2005, hurricane. It will also pay at least $50 million to thousands of Mississippi policyholders whose claims were denied but didn't sue. The settlement should send a powerful message to other insurance companies that the state is serious about consumer advocacy and won't give up that role. Hood's lawsuit, filed days after Katrina struck, didn't always look so promising. Decried as a political stunt and possibly creating more delay for claims, it faced huge hurdles as judges sorted if state or federal courts were the proper venue.
