\"Right now a lot of government information is hidden behind databases and forms which we can't crawl,\" said [Google] spokeswoman Katie Watson. \"Our ultimate goal is to make sure as much information is accessible as possible.\" In another example, a boater looking to take advantage of the state's free life jacket loan program would have been stymied had they searched Google for \"life jacket loan\" a few weeks ago. \"Tens of millions of people are now conducting most of their business online,\" Kelso said. \"Government should do the same thing.\"

\"Retailers and manufacturers lose billions of dollars each year because of organized retail theft, and that loss is inevitably passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices,\" Assistant Director Chip Burrus of the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division said. \"The Law Enforcement Retail Partnership Network database will allow retailers and law enforcement to work together to combat this problem.\" San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies began to see teams of organized thieves at Victoria Gardens immediately after it opened. The mall is a rich target because of its high-end stores and proximity to major freeways, but thieves have struck at Ontario Mills and Montclair Plaza as well. FBI spokeswoman Kathryn Ballew said Monday that this week's release is for retailers only. Once the retailers are hooked up, the FBI will open access to law enforcement. She did not give a date for when that will happen.

Oct. 27--RIVERSIDE -- District Attorney Grover Trask announced Thursday he will join the law firm of Best Best & Krieger when his term ends in January.

[Kenneth Beck], the owner of Dineen Trucking, filed the $18 million federal civil rights lawsuit in January against Upland, the city's police department, former police chief Martin Thouvenell, police Capt. Jeff Mendenhall and Code Enforcement Officer Michael Ollis. Beck's lawyer [James Reiss] said he believes prosecutors filed the criminal case against Beck as a favor to Upland police. Unless the appeal is granted, Beck's federal lawsuit is dead, although city attorneys said they are considering counter options, including asking Beck to pay their legal fees.

The county's Civil Service Commission voted unanimously Wednesday to reinstate Grover D. Merritt. In doing so, the commission adopted the findings of an arbitrator who ruled District Attorney Mike Ramos shouldn't have fired Merritt to begin with. Ramos continues to stand behind his decision to fire Merritt, even after the arbitrator ruled there was too little evidence to support it. The District Attorney has said his office conducted an \"exhaustive and time-consuming\" investigation before deciding to let Merritt go. [Susan Mickey] would not comment on whether Ramos and his staff can have a productive and trustworthy working relationship with Merritt given their continued insistence he was the leak.

Officers later found it was registered in [Amy Bravo]'s name, and they found [Marcus Dewayne Moss] in possession of a fake driver's license that showed Moss' picture next to Bravo's name. An investigation revealed that Moss had not only bought the Mustang but also tried to rent an apartment and signed up for Internet service using the woman's identity, prosecutors said. Detectives also recovered a false pay stub, several checks and a receipt indicating Moss bought blush and a makeup case, all in Bravo's name. According to court records, Moss has spent time in prison stemming from at least two prior identity theft-related cases. In one, he also bought a Ford Mustang using another person's identity.

Chief Deputy County Counsel Rex Hinesley ran the office for two weeks while [John Roth] was on paid leave. County spokesman David Wert said Tuesday that a new interim was needed because Hinesley needed to return to his work in the County Counsel's Office.

[John Roth] drew heat from the county this past week after it was reported that his office hired Geoffrey Newman, a criminal defense lawyer who was convicted this past year for paying inmates to recruit business inside county jails. Roth was aware his office hired Newman but was not directly responsible for the decision, [David Wert] said. A panel of five top administrators made the call, fully aware of Newman's background. County officials Wednesday cited other concerns about Roth's leadership before the Newman incident and described the hiring as the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.

San Bernardino County Chief Administrative Officer Mark Huffer, the county's top manager, said Thursday that he was unaware that the Public Defender hired [Geoffrey Newman] until newspaper reports earlier this week. Huffer said he and the Board of Supervisors agreed that the decision to hire Newman was a mistake, and they ordered [John Roth] to fire him immediately after learning of it. Huffer said Newman's hiring reflected poorly on the county, which is trying to restore its image after years of corruption.

Authorities lifted a voluntary evacuation warning at about 10 a.m., when engineers announced that water levels behind the dam had dropped below an area that seeped last week. Authorities sensed trouble on Friday, when the river, swollen from heavy rain, backed up behind the dam in the Prado Reservoir, near the border of Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The dam, weak at spots where construction crews have been working on upgrades, began seeping water Thursday night. Fearing that the dam could breach, Corona city officials ordered a mandatory evacuation of the neighborhoods just north of Green River Road early Friday morning, but reduced it to voluntary a few hours later.
