State High Court Rejects Legal Challenges by Cities of Downey, Signal Hill and Cerritos, the Central Basin Municipal Water District and Tesoro Oil Company
The California State Supreme Court delivered an important legal victory to the Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD) and to district ratepayers when it rejected appeals by the Central Basin Municipal Water District and the cities of Downey, Signal Hill and Cerritos, Tesoro Oil Company challenging the courts jurisdiction to rule on an important Groundwater Storage Plan for the Central and West Coast groundwater basins.
"The California Supreme Court's decision is an important win for ratepayers throughout the region because it puts us back on track for the court to rule on the merits of the storage plan," said WRD Board President Albert Robles. "Unfortunately, these wasteful lawsuits have cost WRD and ratepayers time and money – 3 years in delays and millions of dollars in legal costs."
In May 2009, Central Basin Municipal Water District, Tesoro Oil Company and the three cities filed a suit opposing a 2-year state mediated groundwater storage plan created to tap into the 450,000 acre-feet of storage capacity for groundwater. By storing more groundwater, the region could dramatically reduce the need for expensive imported water and have supplies in during seasons with low rainfall. Central Basin Municipal Water District is the region's designated provider of imported water.
In 2010, a trial court concluded that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the case. WRD and several other cities, (including Los Angeles, Long Beach, Lakewood, Torrance and Inglewood) and water companies, appealed that determination to the Appellate Court which the court reversed, finding the trial court did have jurisdiction.
In February, Downey, Signal Hill, Cerritos and Central Basin Municipal Water District escalated their legal battle by filing a petition for Supreme Court review which was summarily denied. In rejecting the challenges, the Supreme Court affirmed decisions made by the Appellate Courts. Among other things, those decisions overturned lower court rulings and concluded that, contrary to the arguments of the challenging entities, the court:
- Had jurisdiction over groundwater storage, including the allocation and governance of storage;
- Had jurisdiction to authorize the transfer of water from one Basin to the other;
- Had jurisdiction to appoint WRD as a member of the Watermaster body outlined in the petitions; and
- That the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act do not apply to the petitions to amend the Judgments.
The cases now return to the Superior Court for trial on their merits.
"Five million dollars in unnecessary legal costs later, we are back where we started three years ago," said Lakewood Public Works Director Jim Glancy. "The Supreme Court decision in the Central Basin case is an invitation to the litigant cities to stop throwing money down a legal rat hole and to join their colleagues in making the storage plan work for all groundwater pumpers. It is also an admonition to the Central Basin Municipal Water District to get out of the case altogether and to drop its costly, ill-conceived and now legally indefensible groundwater storage plan."
Long Beach Water Department General Manager Kevin Wattier said the Court's decision "represents a huge victory for the region and the state. Having the ability to store water in the few years when there is a surplus for use in the many years when we have drought is a way to reduce our reliance on imported water while assuring our water needs can be met.
"Two years ago," Wattier said, "more water flowed under the Golden Gate Bridge in one week than our region uses in an entire year. Had our storage framework been in place, we could have stored much of that water here for use now when state water supplies are low."
City of Torrance Public Works Director Rob Beste said the court's decision in the West Basin case reaffirmed the confidence the majority of West Basin pumpers had in the storage plan in the first place. "We never understood why Tesoro and Hillside would oppose a plan that was in their best interests to support," he said. "We hope the Supreme Court decision will encourage them to be more introspective and support the petition out of self-interest as well as for the region as a whole."
WRD General Manager Robb Whitaker said the Supreme Court decision was "very good news for the entire state. The Central and West Coast groundwater basins have the largest unused groundwater storage capacity in any urban area of California. The basins overlie an area that encompasses 43 cities and 10% of the state's population. Putting that capacity to beneficial use will help assure the future viability of our water supply needs for generations to come," Whitaker said.
A proposed law designed to keep water bills from skyrocketing has passed a state Senate committee, but opponents vow to fight the measure they say is a "political power grab."
Senate Bill 1386, authored by Sen. Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, would remove barriers to storing groundwater in the Central Basin and would allow for underground water reserves to protect against high rates in dry periods. Area cities and water agencies have been embroiled in legal battles over how and by whom the water should be stored.
"Without this bill, continued efforts by the Central Basin Municipal Water District will lead to more and more lawsuits, create greater and greater legal bills, and result in higher rates for our region," said Lowenthal in a written statement following the committee vote.
"Enough is enough," the senator added. "It's time we move forward as a region, and I believe SB 1386 provides us with the path to resolution."
WRD's comprehensive network of monitoring wells in the Central Basin to be incorporated into statewide groundwater monitoring program.
The California Department of Water Resources has officially designated the Water Replenishment District of Southern California as the Groundwater Level Monitoring Entity for Central Basin and West Coast sub-basin under the California Statewide Groundwater Elevation Monitoring (CASGEM) Program. The CASGEM program is a statewide groundwater monitoring program that will make groundwater information readily and widely available. WRD has established a large network of monitoring wells in the Central Basin and regularly analyses both water levels and water quality in the area.
"WRD is pleased that DWR recognizes the expertise and experience of its staff to provide the groundwater information," stated WRD Board President Sergio Calderon. "For over 50 years, the District has prepared and published an annual Engineering Survey and Report which contains current and historical data on groundwater production, the annual and accumulated overdraft, groundwater levels, and detailed information on groundwater conditions. Additionally, WRD's Hydrogeology Group prepares and publishes an annual Regional Groundwater Monitoring Report, first issued in1972, which relies on the District's nearly 300 depth-specific monitoring wells at over 50 different locations."
"WRD also appreciates support by the Central Basin Water Association and the West Basin Water Association that the District be named as the area's groundwater monitoring entity," commented WRD GM Robb Whitaker. "The Water Associations are important stakeholders and the District works closely with them to ensure that the Central and West Coast groundwater basins are protected."

Basin Boundaries and Hydrology
The Central Subbasin occupies a large portion of the southeastern part of the Coastal Plain of Los Angeles Groundwater Basin. This subbasin is commonly referred to as the "Central Basin" and is bounded on the north by a surface divide called the La Brea high, and on the northeast and east by emergent less permeable Tertiary rocks of the Elysian, Repetto, Merced and Puente Hills. The southeast boundary between Central Basin and Orange County Groundwater Basin roughly follows Coyote Creek, which is a regional drainage province boundary. The southwest boundary is formed by the Newport Inglewood fault system and the associated folded rocks of the Newport Inglewood uplift. The Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers drain inland basins and pass across the surface of the Central Basin on their way to the Pacific Ocean. Average precipitation throughout the subbasin ranges from 11 to 13 inches with an average of around 12 inches.
Hydrogeologic Information
Water Bearing Formations
Throughout the Central Basin, groundwater occurs in Holocene and Pleistocene age sediments at relatively shallow depths. The Central Basin is historically divided into forebay and pressure areas. The Los Angeles forebay is located in the northern part of the Central Basin where the Los Angeles River enters the Central Basin through the Los Angeles Narrows from the San Fernando Groundwater Basin. The Montebello forebay extends southward from the Whittier Narrows where the San Gabriel River encounters the Central Basin and is the most important area of recharge in the subbasin. Both forebays have unconfined groundwater conditions and relatively interconnected aquifers that extend up to 1,600 feet deep to provide recharge to the aquifer system of this subbasin (DWR 1961). The Whittier area extends from the Puente Hills south and southwest to the axis of the Santa Fe Springs-Coyote Hills uplift and contains up to 1,000 feet of freshwater-bearing sediments. The Central Basin pressure area is the largest of the four divisions, and contains many aquifers of permeable sands and gravels separated by semi-permeable to impermeable sandy clay to clay, that extend to about 2,200 feet below the surface (DWR 1961). The estimated average specific yield of these sediments is around 18 percent. Throughout much of the subbasin, the aquifers are confined, but areas with semi- permeable aquicludes allow some interaction between the aquifers (DWR 1961).
The main productive freshwater-bearing sediments are contained within Holocene alluvium and the Pleistocene Lakewood and San Pedro Formations (DWR 1961). Throughout most of the subbasin, the near surface Bellflower aquiclude restricts vertical percolation into the Holocene age Gaspur aquifer and other underlying aquifers, and creates local semi-perched groundwater conditions. The main additional productive aquifers in the subbasin are the Gardena and Gage aquifers within the Lakewood Formation and the Silverado, Lynwood and Sunnyside aquifers within the San Pedro Formation (DWR 1961). Specific yield of deposits in this subbasin range up to 23 percent in the Montebello forebay, 29 percent in the Los Angeles forebay, and 37 percent in the Central Basin pressure area (DWR 1961).
Historically, groundwater flow in the Central Basin has been from recharge areas in the northeast part of the subbasin, toward the Pacific Ocean on the southwest. However, pumping has lowered the water level in the Central Basin and water levels in some aquifers are about equal on both sides of the Newport-Inglewood uplift, decreasing subsurface outflow to the West Coast Subbasin (DWR 1961).
The Water Replenishment District of Southern California receives the 2011 Ground Water Protection Award for its Regional Groundwater Monitoring Program
NGWA Announces 2011 Groundwater Industry Awards
Today the National Ground Water Association (NGWA) announced its recipients for 2011. One of NGWA's Outstanding Ground Water Project Award's will be presented to the Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD). WRD will receive the "Ground Water Protection Award" for its exceptional Regional Groundwater Monitoring Program. The awards will be presented at the 2011 NGWA Ground Water Expo in November.
For over 50 years, WRD has been managing the groundwater replenishment and water quality activities for the Central Groundwater Basin and West Coast Groundwater Basin in south Los Angeles County. The analyses of information from the WRD Regional Groundwater Monitoring program helps the District plan and implement projects and programs to increase recycled water use, prevent seawater intrusion and capture and conserve stormwater.
The WRD Regional Groundwater Monitoring Program includes 300 dedicated monitoring wells where groundwater levels and groundwater quality are tracked and analyzed The District compiles an annual report to convey the groundwater monitoring results to the public and regulatory agencies. This report can be accessed online at www.wrd.org.
"The foresight WRD had 50 years ago to keep track of groundwater conditions is paying huge dividends today," Board President Sergio Calderon said. "We now operate one of the more sophisticated groundwater database programs in the country. Among other things, that contributes to robust groundwater management to assure a safe and reliable groundwater supply for the future".
Since 1995, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has been working with the Water Replenishment District of Southern California in a cooperative ground-water and geologic study of the Los Angeles Basin. Now, with additional support from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, the USGS is expanding this program to study the distribution and geologic history of sediments as deep as 1,500 feet (450 meters) below city streets. This information is critical not only to ground-water management but also to earthquake hazard assessment in the densely populated region. During a strong earthquake, ground shaking may cause water-saturated sediment to "liquefy," resulting in ground failure. Therefore, knowing the composition of near-surface sediment is important for assessing the vulnerability of buildings to liquefaction and other damaging effects of earthquakes.

Mrs. Modupe Mujota is a Director, Kakawa Asset Management Limited. In this interview, she tells SIMON EJEMBI, why it is important for people to understand the trade they intend to invest in and the major steps individuals can take to properly manage their assets
What is the relationship between asset management and wealth creation?
Asset Management in itself is a means of creating wealth. It is a broad concept that ranges from the management of assets whether financial or tangible. Most Nigerians view asset management in terms of managing real estate, money and capital market investments but it entails far more than that. Areas such as advisory services, concept and strategy development are all embedded in asset management because these are all steps required for wealth creation.
How would you rate Nigerians in terms of their awareness of the importance of asset management?
As I mentioned earlier, Nigerians previously had a limited understanding of the concept of asset management. Most people focused only on the management of financial and real assets but that is gradually changing. You find that Nigerians are becoming more knowledgeable about the concept and are starting to demand more from their investment managers. Individual investors want to know what other options are available to them other than the usual real estate, fixed income or stocks while some institutions are starting to seek alternative investments, albeit with higher risks but also higher returns. Governments, agencies and parastatals have also not been left out as they continue to seek ways to boost revenue generation through the professional management of public assets and infrastructure.
What are the major steps individuals should take to better manage their assets?
In the case of individuals, we would focus more on financial assets. It is always good to get the advice of an asset manager who can assist to determine the best investment outlets for optimal returns. The asset manager will be able to profile the individual based on several parameters such as monthly income, retirement age, family background, risk appetite, and investment objectives on the short, medium and long term. All these will enable the manager to develop an investment portfolio that will best suit the individual per time. You find that a lot of people who try to manage their assets themselves, most times do not get the optimal returns because they lack the required expertise. Most individuals will be surprised to learn of the existence of products with low minimum entry amounts that can provide them with good steady returns over a period of time. For example, at Kakawa Asset Management Limited, we have a flagship fund, the Kakawa Guaranteed Income Fund (KGIF) which offers a rate pegged to MPR (currently 12% p.a.) for as little as N50,000.00.
Also, individuals have to cultivate the habit of separating their investments from personal expenses. There has to be enough discipline to understand that your investments are for your future special projects and/or retirement and should therefore not be liquidated at the slightest whim.
How can small scale businesses benefit from asset management companies?
Well, asset management companies may render financial and other types of advisory services as well as developing business concepts from an investor perspective. Most small scale business owners usually have an idea of the type of business they want but may not be clear on how to implement. Asset management companies may provide the requisite strategies and assist with the implementation process that will take the business through the various developmental stages with the ultimate destination being wealth creation and transfer.
What would you say is the best way for an individual to get started as an investor?
Firstly, the individual has to understand the concept of saving. There will be no assets to manage if there are no savings to convert into the assets in the first place. Secondly, the individual may start off by gradually building a portfolio. For example, you may not have enough funds to invest directly in some fixed income securities (bonds, treasury bills, fixed deposits etc.) but you may choose to invest in Mutual Funds and enjoy the access available to different types of investment outlets at specific returns. The stock market also offers an opportunity for investors starting out. Although some may have reservations about the stock market based on the recent past but if investments are made in growth stocks with strong fundamentals and with the counsel from a qualified manager, the individual may gradually build a portfolio over the long term. It is important to mention that these individuals need to avoid the "bandwagon effect" of mimicking trades of others without any understanding of the investor's motives and stock analytics. Individuals who are new to investing will better appreciate the stock market when they pursue a long term strategy.
In investing in stock, for instance, how can one qualify stock in categories such as emerging, small-cap and value stock?
The classification of stocks using their market capitalisation (that is the shares available for trading multiplied by the daily market price) will determine whether a stock is high-cap or small-cap. High-cap stocks usually trade at higher prices than majority of the stocks in the market. The likes of Nestle, Nigerian Breweries, Guinness, GT Bank, First Bank, Zenith and Flourmills, to mention a few, are all high-cap stocks. Conversely, investors usually refer to stocks with low market capitalisation as small-cap stocks.
Value stocks may be seen as stocks with current market prices trading below their perceived fair value or book value prices. They are stocks that investors believe still have strong potentials to grow in market price, earnings, dividend pay-outs and so on.
Just as emerging markets refer to countries that are experiencing fast paced growth and industralisation, emerging stocks refer to the stocks of companies that are experiencing rapid developments and their growth is reflecting positively in their earnings.
Stocks may also be classified based on their sectors e.g. Financial Services, Conglomerates, Consumer Goods etc.
When is the best time for people to sell off assets? Are there dangers in holding onto an asset for a long time?
Well, there is really no specific time that is best to sell off assets. It depends on each asset class, the individual's investment strategy and horizon amongst others. The key thing is that one should not get greedy so as not to end up with continuously thinning margins or a total loss position. You will find that asset managers usually have investments closely monitored daily to ensure that the investments achieve optimal returns based on specific strategies. It is also necessary for investors to quickly analyse newly available information pertaining to their investments and not panic if they believe the news is not favourable. They may get the views of experienced professionals to guide their decision making process.
Whether or not there are dangers to holding onto an asset for a long time also depends on the type of asset. Generally, most real estate properties appreciate over time and hence a holding period cannot be determined while some are even held in perpetuity. However, in the case of financial assets such as stocks, investors who buy for a short – medium-term horizon need to daily monitor the market and be able to determine whether a stock has reached its peak or not. It basically depends on the strategy, the take on or acquisition cost and return expectations all taking place within the market dynamics.

Associated Press
BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Idaho organizers of a camp for children diagnosed with cancer say they intend to keep the program up and running amid news of funding cuts.
Officials with Camp Rainbow Gold announced recently that the American Cancer Society intended to phase out all youth camp programs and scholarships starting this year.
As a result, Camp Rainbow Gold officials say they will pursue private nonprofit status to raise money to keep the camp running.
Board Chairman of CRG Tim Tyree says he's confident the staff, families, volunteers, donors and community supporters will rally to smooth the transition.
Officials say they intend to continue all programs, including the camp that has served children and their families for years. Founded in 1984, the organization also provides college scholarships, support groups and other events.

Another season of Chuck, another season of Chuck ratings.
As expected and rumored earlier in the week, it has now been confirmed that NBC has renewed Chuck for 13 episodes. I'm still under the impression that it will be on the fall schedule, though I'm trying to find out. NBC has also picked up David E. Kelley's Kindreds for mid-season.

Musings Poll: Want More Holiday 2010?
Hey Everyone!
Hope you're all well and had a wonderful Holiday weekend. Hopefully Santa was good to you. I had a quick poll (stop by my blog to participate if you're reading in RSS) that I hope you'll join in on.
I was looking through my stash and I have ALOT of Holiday to still review. I was curious if you'd like to see these reviews or shall we start in on Spring 2011? I think it might benefit you if I do review as many of the items are on sale so if you're still deciding whether you want to indulge this might be helpful.
Whatcha think?
Do take the poll and let me know.
12/28/10 16:00 Soo:
yes, please!
happy holidays, Muse! here's to the hope that no more rude people comment on your lovely giveaways. tsk tsk
12/28/10 17:41 Kristina:
My Christmas Tree is still up – I'm not ready to talk about spring collections yet! Although, that didn't stop me from buying the new Chanel eye palette…
12/28/10 19:28 Kate:
I'd love to see the rest of Chanel Spring as an exception to completely reviewing only the rest of the holiday items as I'm ordering online and love your reviews
12/28/10 19:58 Sara:
I love swatches of all kinds! I don't care if they're holiday, available collections, or even limited editions from five years ago, gimme gimme gimme! 😀
Seriously, though, I'd love to see your holiday swatches and opinions. Besides, most of them are on sale now!
12/28/10 20:02 MariaC:
I'd love to read the reviews, some of the products may go on sale after the holidays and may be worth buying. I love what you do, and please continue to do so.
12/28/10 20:08 LiAnn – Sparklecrack Central:
A mix would be ideal – both so that folks can get some help deciding on holiday 2010 purchases, but so that you don't build up a backlog of Spring stuff! 😀
My family's always bee low-key about Christmas. Birthdays are our big blowout – and mine's next month!! 😀 I've been spending the week playing with all my sparkly goodies, watching DVDs, reading blogs and finding some new ones to visit. (And – yes – the Giveaway Blue Meanies can go elsewhere, now, please. Meh. Some peoples' children…)
12/28/10 20:16 Deb:
Pleasse please continue with the wintery stuff!! Sometimes the rushing of the seasons in the fashion/beauty world becomes absurd. I really am not ready to shop for swimsuits yet nor am I ready to look at the summer beauty colors (especially with all this east coast snow!). And yes, the SALES!
12/28/10 20:54 lissa:
other– review anything you think really stands out or that you'd feel was money wasted if you didn't but don't put yourself over it.
if they're unused and don't appeal you might someday be looking for a giveaway contest or something.

Nearly 500 Inmates Being Freed from Abu Ghraib Today; Spain Bombing Case
Aired May 21, 2004 - 07:30 ET
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR: Good morning. Welcome back, everybody. Just about half past the hour on this AMERICAN MORNING. "The Washington Post" publishing today more photos of apparent abuse at Abu Ghraib prison. In a few minutes, we'll find out what the reaction is among Iraqis. Harris Whitbeck is working that story for us this morning out of Baghdad. BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: Also in this country, an American held in detention for two weeks in connection with the Madrid train bombings is now free. Were mistakes made? And why did the FBI pick him up in the first place? We'll get to that report in a moment. Also, what the man plans to do in a moment from the Pacific Northwest. O'BRIEN: All right, let's get right to our top stories. First this morning, though, a new terror warning from the FBI. The bureau issuing a bulletin for law enforcement agencies to be on alert for possible suicide bombings. The FBI says to look out for signs such as people wearing bulky clothing in warm weather, but the bureau says there is no hard intelligence indicating terrorist plans to strike the U.S. After a week of deadly clashes in southern Gaza, Israel says its troops are deploying in the Rafah area. A refugee camp was the scene of ongoing violence this week, which Palestinian sources claim left many Palestinians dead. Israel says the offensive was aimed at targeting militants and closing down tunnels it says are used in smuggling. The Israeli operation had come under international criticism. House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi is questioning President Bush's competence as a leader. Pelosi is suggesting the administration's policy in Iraq is to blame for the loss of U.S. troops. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) NANCY PELOSI (D-CA), MINORITY LEADER: I believe that the president's leadership in the actions taken in Iraq demonstrate an incompetence in terms of knowledge, judgment and experience in making the decisions that would have been necessary to truly accomplish the mission without the deaths to our troops and the cost to our taxpayers. (END VIDEO CLIP) O'BRIEN: Republicans are furious with Pelosi's remarks and are demanding that she apologize. And it was like finding a needle in a haystack. A ring missing for nearly 40 years is found in a lake that was drained in Colorado Springs. The wedding band was lost back in 1965 by a guy who went water skiing. He died 14 years ago, but his widow never forgot about the ring. She called a man with a metal detector who was searching for buried treasure. And sure enough, he found the ring with the couple's engraved initials on it. That's nice. That's something nice to hang on to. HEMMER: And that lake water means a little more to them, too. (WEATHER BREAK) Meanwhile, the inmate population in the Abu Ghraib prison outside Baghdad is thinning yet again today. Nearly 500 detainees from that facility at the middle of the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal are being released throughout the day today. For details, live to Baghdad. Harris Whitbeck has more now. Harris, good afternoon there. HARRIS WHITBECK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hello, Bill. U.S. military officials say that 472 prisoners have been released from Abu Ghraib prison today. They have been bused to the vicinity of their homes. Usually they are given the equivalent of about $25 to help with transportation from where they are dropped off to their actual homes. Hundreds of women and children waited outside the prison for hours on this Friday, waiting to see if their relatives would be among the released. The detainee population at Abu Ghraib now stands at roughly 3,000. At some point there were up to 6,000 prisoners inside that now notorious prison at Abu Ghraib. Meanwhile, the Iraqi Governing Council is set to gather in an emergency meeting in about an hour's time to discuss yesterday's raid on the headquarters of council member Ahmed Chalabi. The raid was conducted by members of the Iraqi National Police, who were supported by U.S. troops. And Iraqi judge said that he conducted the raid to target some of Chalabi's associates for their alleged involvement in government fraud, kidnapping and other charges. But Chalabi, as you know yesterday in a press conference, said that he feels that he was targeted because of his continued expressions for independence from U.S. plans for the political handover here in Iraq. The point is that Chalabi, who was once the darling of powerful members of the government in Washington, seems to have fallen out of favor. Chalabi himself says his relationship with the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq is now -- quote -- "nonexistent" -- Bill HEMMER: Harris, on a different topic, "The Washington Post" publishing more photos today of prisoner abuse; also a videotape they've obtained as well. They've taken small pieces of frames of that videotape. Is there much reaction? Has the Arab media reported on these very pictures also, Harris? WHITBECK: There hasn't been much reaction yet, Bill, but that is because today is Friday, a day of rest here, and not many newspapers circulate in Iraq. We just saw pictures on Al Jazeera, one of the Arabic television networks, just a little bit under an hour ago. So, we suspect that the pictures haven't circulated very much yet, and that is why there hasn't been any reaction. There was certainly no reaction during many of the Friday prayer services at the mosques -- Bill. HEMMER: Harris Whitbeck live in Baghdad -- Soledad. O'BRIEN: A 37-year-old Oregon father of three can wake up this morning and look forward to his first full day of freedom in two weeks. Brandon Mayfield had been in custody in connection with the March 11 Madrid train bombings, which killed 191 people and injured some 2,000 more. Justice correspondent Kelli Arena has this report. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) KELLI ARENA, CNN JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Brandon Mayfield, a U.S. citizen and Muslim convert who has been sitting in a Portland detention center for two weeks, is a free man. Just after being released, he joined his lawyers for a brief press conference. BRANDON MAYFIELD, RELEASED FROM CUSTODY: I just want to say thank God, everybody who was praying for me. ARENA: Grand jury rules of secrecy stopping Mayfield and his lawyers from saying more at this time, but Mayfield's brother promises the family will not go away silently. KENT MAYFIELD, BROTHER: I think there's going to be a major review about why they detained him. This obviously proves -- this obviously proves that this was a complete witch hunt, and we are going to follow up as much as I can. ARENA: U.S. law enforcement officials say Mayfield was taken into custody as a material witness in connection to the March train bombing in Madrid. Those officials say the FBI matched his fingerprint to a print found near the scene on a bag containing explosive materials similar to those used in the attack. They say agents were conducting surveillance on Mayfield, but a decision was made to detain him when the media got hold of the story and the FBI feared its cover was blown. STEVE WAX, MAYFIELD'S ATTORNEY: He has maintained at the outset that he has had no involvement in the horrible bombing that occurred in Spain in March, and he's maintained from the outset that he has no knowledge about that. ARENA: Spanish officials disputed the FBI's findings, telling CNN they did not believe the FBI had a print match. The Spanish now tell CNN they matched the print found near the scene of the bombing to another man, an Algerian, named Ouhnane Daoud. (on camera): The Justice Department, FBI and prosecutors in Portland all had no comment -- at least not yet. Kelli Arena, CNN, Washington. (END VIDEOTAPE) O'BRIEN: Mayfield's family claimed he had not been out of the country for over a decade and that, in fact, his passport had expired -- Bill. HEMMER: About 20 minutes now before the hour. In a moment on AMERICAN MORNING, the parents of that abandoned little girl may have been found, but this is not a happy ending just yet. More on that story yet again today. O'BRIEN: Also, a phone strike could mean a lot of people have trouble making phone calls over the next few days. Andy Serwer is going to tell us what's going on. HEMMER: Also, how about the reality show that features wife swapping? It is huge in Britain. It's coming here soon. "90-Second Pop" has a shot at that when we continue right after this on a Friday edition of AMERICAN MORNING. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) HEMMER: Yes, it's a death trap and a suicide wrap every morning here on AMERICAN MORNING. Time for "90-Second Pop." It's my sincere pleasure to introduce a whole new panel of pundits. Josh Elliott back with us from "SI," "Sports Illustrated." Clarissa Cruz from "Entertainment Weekly." And Joel Stein from "TIME" magazine. How are you guys doing, huh? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Pretty good. HEMMER: It's a Friday. Not bad. CLARISSA CRUZ, "ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY": No. HEMMER: The Fox network is going to do a whole new deal with their programming. CRUZ: Yes. HEMMER: No reruns, all new programming. CRUZ: Totally. HEMMER: Do you like the strategy? CRUZ: Well, they're touting it as this whole revolutionary new thing. HEMMER: And is it? CRUZ: Yes, I mean, in a way it is, because, I mean, even though introducing programs in summer isn't anything new, what they are doing is instead of reruns like "The Simpsons" and "King of the Hill," they're going to have all new programming in June, like "The Simple Life 2," which we're all excited about, and a sitcom starring Method Man and Red Man, which is another good thing. HEMMER: Now, all of that goes against conventional wisdom when it comes to programming. This is baptism by fire, right? CRUZ: Totally, totally. But, you know, they have to compete with all of the cable networks and all of the different things on TV. So... JOSH ELLIOTT, "SPORTS ILLUSTRATED": But I also think that they are daring America to prove just how reality-mad we are. If you look, they have the "Simple Life 2" coming out. They have "The Casino" coming out. I think what we've learned over the last year or two are that people are willing to make reality television appointment viewing even if it means coming in a little early from the beach. HEMMER: And the other thing is it's cheap programming, too. I mean, you don't have to go into rehearsals and trials and figure out what kind of script and what kind of line works for (UNINTELLIGIBLE). CRUZ: That's true. ELLIOTT: And who among of us did not discover "90210" back in the summer of '92? CRUZ: I mean, they have scripted programming as well. So, it's not complete reality. HEMMER: Yes, they do. Well, you know, listen, the reruns in syndication will go much quicker than if this catches on. Folks like TBS and TNT are listening. (CROSSTALK) HEMMER: Let's talk about the wife swap show. CRUZ: Yes. HEMMER: ABC, right? Reality TV? CRUZ: Yes, I think it's sort of hit a little bit of a new low. I mean, it sounds a little kinky, but really what it is, it's two families, the mothers and the wives of those families are going to switch places for 10 days. And they have to do the same rules for the first half, you know, the same rules that the original wife did, and the second half they can do whatever they want. HEMMER: Is this creepy? CRUZ: Well, apparently they do everything but sleep with the husband. (CROSSTALK) ELLIOTT: Is it creepier than "The Swan?" Is it any creepier than "I Want a Famous Face? HEMMER: True, true. ELLIOTT: Look, we're at a point now where "Survivor" is venerable programming. OK? It's 60 minutes of reality television. I mean, it's not -- does anything really creep anybody out? HEMMER: What's kind of intriguing about this, they started it in Britain apparently, and it was all the talk of London. And they did it with an interracial couple, which kind of added more fuel to the water cooler fire. CRUZ: Definitely. I mean, but, you know, like a lot of things, I mean, "American Idol" was a big hit in England. But then, you know, so was "Couplings," and look how it did here. So, you know, it depends. JOEL STEIN, "TIME" MAGAZINE: This is the most sexist idea, right? Women are just there to do housework, and we're swapping out the maids basically. CRUZ: Well, they say that men are going -- that they thought about maybe doing men, but, you know, no one really notices when the father is not home. (CROSSTALK) HEMMER: Because men work and they are not home. Is that what she said? Yes. I hear there's a hotline set up in southern California because they got so much interest in people who wanted to be on the program. (CROSSTALK) STEIN: A sitcom pilot on ABC and I lost to wife swap. It just hurts me every day. HEMMER: You're feeling proud, aren't you? STEIN: Yes, I think I'm (UNINTELLIGIBLE). HEMMER: Let's talk about the world of sports. Kelly White (ph) is a sprinter and now apparently she is I guess a bit of a turncoat, too. She is saying that she confesses she used steroids and now she's willing to talk. The implications of this story could be huge. ELLIOTT: Right. Once again, it's Balco. We heard it throughout the year, basically connected to baseball players, but now it turns out that, you know, she had some connection with Balco. She has admitted using steroids, and she said in exchange for a much lesser ban of two years in her case, she's willing to sing. HEMMER: But she's going to take all the titles she has won over the past four years, right, and turn them back in and sacrifice them. ELLIOTT: Yes. Yes, to turn them back -- actually she won the 100 and 200 at last year's world championships. But really, this is all about Marion Jones. Now Marion Jones -- in fact, yesterday -- wrote to the USADA, the antidoping agency, and she said, look, I'd like to come in now and discuss my connection to Balco. So now... STEIN: This is smart for Kelly White, because now she's famous. ELLIOTT: Absolutely. And she can compete conceivably again. STEIN: She could have won like five gold medals and we wouldn't know it. HEMMER: Well, she can't compete in Athens this summer. ELLIOTT: No. CRUZ: No. HEMMER: Which would have been a boon for her had she done well. ELLIOTT: Not as much of a boon as, you know, getting her name on TV like this. HEMMER: Well, that's probably true as well. (CROSSTALK) HEMMER: But I think -- why? STEIN: Well, I mean, I don't want to see guys hit, like, 40 home runs again. I want to, you know, go back to the time when no one could break the four-minute mile. ELLIOTT: You know, it's an interesting point, because the U.S. says it's committed to sending a clean team to Athens. I hope they are also committed to sending a team that probably won't win very many medals. HEMMER: But listen, ultimately, it depends on who she is willing to rat out, too. Let's talk about the movies. You were there last night. You saw "Shrek 2?" Yes, I'm the sucker. HEMMER: Did you like it or no like? ELLIOTT: You know what? I liked. I liked. I have to admit, I didn't see "Shrek 1," but I was told it wouldn't be a problem, and it turns out it wasn't. STEIN: Were you able to follow it? ELLIOTT: Yes, I know. Shockingly enough. STEIN: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) they make fun of me often. HEMMER: I'll bet you do. Does this knock out "Troy," by the way, this weekend, do you think? CRUZ: Oh, I'm sure. ELLIOTT: It's got to. CRUZ: It made $11 million yesterday, which it broke the record that "Pokemon" made. STEIN: And it would have been 10 million 999. HEMMER: Now how did they convince you to go? You're just a sucker? ELLIOTT: Well, they said I would be lost in the discussion had I not, Joel. So, thank you very much. Thank you very much. HEMMER: (UNINTELLIGIBLE). We've got to run. We're going to save it for later. Thanks. Have a great weekend, OK? Good to see all three of you. All right -- Soledad O'BRIEN: Still to come this morning we're going to find out what's going on across the pond from our own Richard Quest. Good morning -- Richard. RICHARD QUEST, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Soledad. I'm going to tell you why this veteran piece of furniture is beating the American lounger on the beach, and why some women find shopping as satisfying as sex. AMERICAN MORNING in a moment. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) O'BRIEN: Welcome back, everyone. Phone service to millions could be hit as workers for the nation's second-largest provider go on strike. With that and a look at the market as well, Andy Serwer, "Minding Your Business." Good morning to you. ANDY SERWER, "FORTUNE" MAGAZINE: Good morning to you. O'BRIEN: Let's talk about SBC first. SERWER: Yes. O'BRIEN: How much of an impact do you think that's actually going to have on people who are trying to make phone calls? SERWER: Well, nothing probably right now. I mean, I think service is going to be fine for about 99.9 percent of people who live in these states, 13 states affected, Soledad, from California to Connecticut, a lot of biggies like Texas, Michigan, Illinois. There you go. And 55 million local lines. I called down to San Antonio this morning, where SBC is headquartered. Things seem to be OK. One thing is going to be problematic, though. If you want to get a line installed in your home and you're an SBC customer, forget it. It's probably going to take weeks. They've got about 100,000 people out on strike. But what's so interesting here is this is a planned strike -- wow, that was loud. O'BRIEN: That was loud. SERWER: It's a planned strike, which is a little unusual -- a four-day planned strike. And what that means is that the workers say they don't want to really harm the company. I mean, how much leverage do you have? You're either going to go on strike or don't go on strike. Basically what that says it the union does not have that much leverage. They are concerned about health care costs, benefits and outsourcing for Internet jobs. You know, that new voice over Internet protocol, telephone calls, we've been talking about. All those jobs have been outsourced, or a lot of them have, and they've been down lines. In other words, business not just as big as it used to be. O'BRIEN: So, the strike is over in four days? SERWER: Yes. I mean, so what kind of strike is that? I mean, do it on Mother's Day, right? If you're going to strike, hit them where it hurts. O'BRIEN: Interesting. SERWER: Yes. O'BRIEN: all right, let's talk about the market. SERWER: OK. O'BRIEN: Let's take a look at what happened yesterday and then a preview of what's going to happen today. SERWER: Sounds good to me. Yesterday, kind of flat. I mean, in fact, very, very, very flat. Let's look here. Less than one-tenth of one point down on the Dow. You can see here, the S&P up a little bit. This morning, though, things are looking brighter, because markets overseas are up, and so we have futures higher this morning. O'BRIEN: Excellent. Andy, thank you very much. SERWER: You're welcome. O'BRIEN: Bill. HEMMER: Calling Jack Cafferty. JACK CAFFERTY, CNN ANCHOR: Thank you, sir. It's Friday and that means it's time to go over there -- over there being London, where my good friend Richard Quest hangs out. He's kind enough to join this program on Friday mornings. Richard, having been married twice and raised four daughters, I have personal knowledge of the female species' love of shopping. But even I, your humble columnist had no idea. What's going on? QUEST: Ten percent of women in a survey in this country said that they found shopping as satisfying as sex, Jack. Apparently... (CROSSTALK) CAFFERTY: It means they are not doing it right. They're just not doing it right. QUEST: I'm trying to keep a straight face on this one. Apparently it releases endorphins and chemicals. Women get hot flushes. They start breathing deeply. And they are becoming all peculiar when they're going around the store. And what is best of all is the survey was done by a shop in Britain called Quick Save, which is a bit like Kmart or Wal-Mart. So, you can see what sort of people are getting their kicks going shopping in this country. They say at the end of the day, 30 percent of all women -- all women are deeply satisfied by a trip to the store. CAFFERTY: Yes. Then there's the other end of the spectrum. I would rather go out on Sixth Avenue in New York and lie down and get run over by a cross-town bus than have to go shopping. I absolutely detest it. Anyway, on to what you sit in when you're going to the beach. I can remember when I was about 8 years old, I think, we had one of these, and that's the last time I ever saw one. QUEST: They are still very popular in this country, Jack. Never mind those posh loungers. A local councilor tried to get rid of the deck chair. Come with me. I'm going to show you what I'm talking about. Now this is the contraption we're talking about. It is the deck chair. You will remember from your youth -- Ow! CAFFERTY: Nice move. SERWER: I knew that was going to happen. QUEST: Right. Here we go. SERWER: It's so convenient. QUEST: They are. Well, they tried to get rid of these deck chairs from Blackport in northern England, but they are so popular and they are so comfortable that they've decided to keep them instead, because they said American loungers were just too posh for the British seaside resort. CAFFERTY: Do they serve alcohol at that beach? Because it occurs to me if you've had a couple of little hot toddies while you're on vacation, you'd never get that thing set up. QUEST: Listen, a combination of going shopping with the wife and then sitting in one of these, it could be an experience indeed. CAFFERTY: Yes, you just go out in the backyard and shoot yourself. Richard, it's always a pleasure to see you. We'll look forward to your next visit here on AMERICAN MORNING. My friend, Richard Quest, who is over there. QUEST: See you next week. HEMMER: Yes, time to hit the Tiki hut, huh? Thank you, Jack. In a moment here, there's a new warning from the FBI. It includes some rather peculiar things, telling law enforcement to keep an eye out for today. That's ahead in a moment here on AMERICAN MORNING. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) O'BRIEN: Still to come, more clashes in the Iraqi holy city of Najaf. Was wanted Shiite Muslim cleric Muqtada al-Sadr caught in the crossfire? We'll take a closer look at that in just a moment. Stay with us. You're watching AMERICAN MORNING.

KQED Launches Extensive Coverage of the Digital Health Revolution with "Future of You"
Contact: Sevda Eris, firstname.lastname@example.com, 415.553.2835
Future of You Documentary Premieres on QUEST Wednesday, November 5
San Francisco, CA – A new era in health care is taking off spurred on by Silicon Valley. High-tech tools are allowing people to unlock information about their bodies and track everything from sleep to stress – even the bacteria in their guts. KQED is the first public media company to examine this new digital health trend with in-depth, on-going coverage through Future of You. This new multimedia initiative launches with a half-hour television documentary that explores how new technologies could reshape medical research, forever change our relationship with our doctors, and impact the treatment of chronic illnesses. Future of You premieres on QUEST, Wednesday, November 5 at 7:30pm on KQED 9.
"While working on this documentary, it became clear to me that the digital disruption that has transformed banking, the music industry and other sectors is finally disrupting health care," says Sheraz Sadiq, the documentary's producer.
Sadiq interviewed prominent individuals at the forefront of this digital health movement including:
•Dr. Jeffrey Olgin, chief of cardiology at UC San Francisco Medical Center, who is leading the world's first all-electronic heart disease study using smartphones, apps and wearable devices;
•James Park, CEO of Fitbit, the leading manufacturer of activity tracking devices;
•Dr. George Savage, chief medical officer of Proteus Digital Health, a company that developed the world's first FDA-approved ingestible sensor; and
•Halle Tecco, managing director of Rock Health, a San Francisco firm that invests in innovative health care startups.
"This consumer-centric approach could eventually transform health care," says Andrea Kissack, KQED's senior science editor who is leading the Future of You multimedia initiative and has been following the digital health space closely. "Although this trend offers a lot of promises, it also raises a lot of questions that we will explore, from privacy issues to a new digital divide."
The multimedia project will cover the intersection of medicine, health care and emerging technologies through ongoing news reports such as "Apple Jumps into Health and Fitness Market," radio reports such as "Do Wearable's Belong in the Doctor's Office?" and blog posts like "Health Trackers May Be the Rage, But How Useful Are They?"
KQED will further explore these new trends in an upcoming free public event, "Tracking the New Digital Health Revolution," at The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose on Thursday, November 20 from 7-9pm.
Other new QUEST episodes this fall investigate life on Mars, Napa wineries and climate change, disintegrating sea stars, a ban on the sale of shark fins, a new law to help protect the endangered California condor and more. Episodes air Wednesdays at 7:30pm on KQED 9 through December 17 and can also be watched online at kqed.org/quest.

Hammertoe surgery is generally thought of as a simple procedure, which consistently gives good results with very few complications. Since an arthroplasty is technically easy to perform, it is usually the first surgery residents will perform in their training.
However, the digital arthroplasty is not necessarily a benign procedure. I am not talking about the overriding contracted second toe which can drive us crazy. I am talking about seemingly simple hammertoes.
Recently, I performed an arthroplasty to correct hammertoe contractures of the third, fourth and fifth toes. The hammertoes were semi-rigid and painful. When I reduced these hammertoes, they were long. There was contracture at the proximal interphalangeal joints (PIPJs) and at the metatarsophalangeal joints. This is a typical presentation.
I resected an appropriate amount of the head of the proximal phalanx and inserted 0.045 Kirschner wires. This procedure usually provides good alignment, especially with adjacent arthroplasties. Clinically and radiographically, the results were excellent. All of the toes were straight and on the same plane. I removed the K-wires approximately two and a half weeks after the surgery.
Although the toes were swollen, the patient was pleased with the results. Four weeks after surgery, the toes were stiff and still swollen. I reassured her that everything would be fine. I instructed her on range of motion (ROM) exercises and using elevation and ice when resting.
Four weeks later, the swelling had reduced slightly but the toes had that thick fusiform appearance from the dense fibrous tissue at the PIPJ. The ROM exercises had not been successful.
While the toes were not painful, the patient was not happy. I blocked the toes and performed manipulation to break adhesions. This helped and, gradually, the fibrosis reduced to a more acceptable level.
Why do the stiffness and swelling with excessive scar tissue occur? Are these complications or is this how the toes heal? Not all of my patients have these problems.
I have examined my technique. My dissection is clean and meticulous. I perform the appropriate tendon/capsule balancing and resect the correct amount of bone. The stiffness can occur even when I do not use k-wires or whether I use joint spacers/implants.
If these problems are inherent to the procedure, why didn't I previously hear of other surgeons having these problems? When I recently asked my colleagues about this, several of them told me they do have these problems and just accepted the swelling and stiffness as potential complications of hammertoe surgery.
Granted, surgeons have used the digital arthroplasty procedure for decades because it does correct a painful hammertoe. However, the procedure clearly has some potential postoperative problems. Is it time we look for a new procedure to correct this common forefoot pathology?

Apr 5, 2012 Comments Off on Clouds in the forecast – Deloitte Human Capital Trends 2012
Clouds in the forecast – Deloitte Human Capital Trends 2012
Cloud computing is changing the way people and businesses work, upending conventional ideas about time-to-value, service levels, infrastructure needs and more. With cloud, systems and data are typically located outside of an organization's four walls and accessed through the Internet. This has fundamental impacts on many parts of the business, transforming the nature of work and accelerating the pace of change across the enterprise.
In this emerging cloud services environment, HR has a responsibility to help the organization adjust its people and processes to operate more effectively. HR is uniquely positioned to do this — not just because HR is responsible for the overall talent agenda, but also because many HR organizations learned valuable lessons as early cloud adopters. Leading HR organizations are already using cloud technology to improve how HR services are delivered. And now, they are looking for opportunities to share their hard-earned experience and insights with the rest of the business.
What's driving this trend?
Cloud offers benefits that in many cases are too compelling to ignore. The technologies and processes associated with cloud are rapidly maturing and are now gaining acceptance as standard business practices. Recent forecasts for 2012 predict that 80 percent of new software applications will target the cloud and that spending on cloud services will exceed $36 billion — which indicates a rate of growth four times faster than the IT industry average.i Key drivers for cloud adoption include the following:
- Cost reduction. Improve utilization and save money through consolidation of servers and data centers. Capitalize on economies of scale by sharing resources across organizations. Reduce training costs thanks to improved ease of use and browser-based interfaces.
- Reduced capital investments. Replace capital expenses with operating expenses. Pay only for what you use.
- Faster implementation. Get up and running quickly by avoiding the need to acquire hardware or to develop and configure applications.
- Agility. Adjust to changing demand and market requirements. Scale up or down as needed. Take advantage of vendor best practices, which are drawn from multiple organizations and rolled out quickly.
- Smarter decisions. Take advantage of cutting-edge tools that support fact-based decision-making.

City bets race to retain BP Nationals crown-A A +A
Sunday, February 2, 2014
SUMMER Capital athletes continue to strengthen their bid for supremacy as they lead the medal tally at the ongoing Batang Pinoy National Finals at the Panaad Park, Bacolod City.
As of press time, young athletes from the city lead the standings with an 18-13-5 medal tally, as Quezon City comes in close second with 17-13-13 while host Negros is in third at 11-6-4.
City sports coordinator Gaudencio Gonzales said earlier he is positively looking forward to regain the overall title this year's sports meet.
"Kung positive ka naman mag-isip positive rin ang magiging resulta kaya tiwala ako sa lahat mga athletes natin to bag this national competitions overall title," Gonzales said.
Jenkins Lorenzo Labao hauled seven gold medals to assert himself as the tournament's most bemadalled athlete in the weeklong competition after topping the 400-meter freestyle, 50-meter butterfly and individual medley.
Fifteen-year-old Labao together with Neil Nazarro, Dan Christian Leyba and Renz Gawidan added two gold medals after finishing atop the boy's 4x50 medley relay and 4x50 freestyle relay, with fellow swimmer Allana Sagubo also lead in the girl's 200 meter back stroke.
Leyba (200m backstroke), Gawidan (50m butterfly), and Elize Yanna Labao (girl's 100m backstroke) also produced silver meals each in their respective sport events.
Reymark Quezada, who hit the first gold for the city, has two gold medals after dominating other participants in the boy's 5000 meter and 800 meter run and added one silver after finishing second in the 1500-meter race, while Leah Taltala also ruled the girls high jump with a personal best 1.48 meters.
The bulilit city wrestlers generated a gold courtesy of Jess Ngolab after winning in the 47kg. category, with Raphael Bulayo(42kg) and Christian John Espiritu(47kg) adding two more silvers in their weight class competitions.
Brylle Gever Vinluan also added a silver medal in the boy's rapid chess event.
The summer capital has already logged 21 gold medals last October for the national standings, where wushu had 15, archery with five, and one from motocross.
Baguio athletes are set to reap more medals in the arnis completion.
The highland athletes are eyeing a rare three-peat for the city in the Batang Pinoy Nationals after bagging the overall crown in 2011 and 2012.
