He currently serves on the board of the Southern California Metropolitan Water District, covering all of Southern California, representing the City of Los Angeles. In 2003 he was appointed by President George W. Bush as a trustee of the James Madison Foundation, which bestows scholarships on high school teachers to promote teaching the founding of our nation. In 2005, he was appointed by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to represent the city of Los Angeles as a director of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority (the “MTA”). Fleming chaired the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce in 2007 and in 2008 and was the creator and founding chair of the Los Angeles County Business Federation (BizFed), an organization of 72 chambers of commerce and trade groups with well over 100,000 business members, employing 2 million workers throughout LA County.

Daymond Rice-Chair of the Valley Industry and Commerce Association
I am both excited and honored to serve as Chairman of the Valley Industry & Commerce Association (VICA), especially as we celebrate 60 years of advocacy on behalf of the business community. Since its creation in 1949, VICA has given Valley businesses a voice at all levels of government.
My position as the public policy director for a large corporation and husband of a small business owner, has given me a unique perspective of the business climate in California. VICA’s aggressive, but balanced, advocacy efforts on behalf of the business community help make the environment better for businesses of all sizes.
VICA’s consistent and strong presence at the State Capitol, L.A. City Hall, on Capitol Hill ensures that the concerns of businesses across the region are heard by officeholders.
We hope you will work with us as we fight for job creation, responsible regulation, lower business taxes and the San Fernando Valley’s fair share of services and resources. VICA plans to tackle pressing business issues in the upcoming year, and the current economic climate will make the battle even harder.
The more businesses that invest in VICA the stronger our advocacy efforts can be. Please share your policy concerns and business needs with VICA so that we can carry your message to lawmakers at all levels of government.

Celebrities Collection: Pitt, Jolie win privacy damages from UK tabloid
Hollywood power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie accepted undisclosed damages on Thursday from a Sunday newspaper in Britain over claims they were separating, their lawyer said.
The unmarried actors had sued the News of the World on privacy grounds over a front-page story in January that claimed they had consulted a lawyer and were dividing up their assets and access to their six children.
The story was picked up by media organisations around the world, but the tabloid newspaper has now agreed to publish an apology and pay the couple their costs and damages, their lawyer Keith Schilling said.
Schilling said the couple’s US lawyers had written to the newspaper to inform them the allegations were false but it failed to issue a retraction, and the publication “spawned an array of false stories” all over the world.
“In consequence, when the News of the World failed to publicly retract the allegations and apologise for them — thereby leaving their readers in the dark as to the true position — the couple felt they had no alternative than to sue,” Schilling said after the hearing in London’s High Court.
“Today’s victory marks the end of the litigation brought by Brad and Angelina.”
The couple, who were not present in court, would give the damages to charity, Schilling said.
The News of the World, part of Rupert Murdoch’s News International group and one of Britain’s biggest-selling papers, said it would not be commenting on the case. It is expected to publish the apology in Sunday’s edition. - AFP

He loved sports and music, decided he had more talent for the latter, and developed a simple goal: “I wanted to be in the best vocal group in the world.” Before joining the Oaks in 1972, Richard sang in various groups, most notably backing Elvis Presley as a member of The Stamps Quartet.
Baseball has also been a longtime passion. For many years he has been an owner of the Nashville Sounds (Milwaukee Brewers AAA club), attending spring training, even taking bus trips with the team.
His well-tailored clothing reveals one of his other loves.
“When I was singing part-time and working in a clothing store,” Richard recalls, “I developed a real interest in fashion, and it’s something that has carried through.”
Richard enjoys fine restaurants, collecting wine, and traveling — particularly to the seashore, where he likes sailing and snorkeling. A fitness buff, he has a bicycle at home and keeps another stowed in a bay under the tour bus. He even has a case so he can check a bicycle aboard airplanes.
Because of his longstanding interest in weather (he enjoys watching the Weather Channel!), Richard recently recorded public service announcements for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather radio network, the “voice” of the National Weather Service.

7/13-Maury Wills, Dave Fleming
The memory of Maury Wills achieving his 104th stolen base for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1962 evokes images of an athlete extraordinaire. This outstanding achievement is only one in a long list of accomplishments that give insight into a man who is both an important athlete and a true sports personality.
On September 23, 1962 Wills broke Ty Cobb's record of 97 stolen bases in one year. At the time, it was almost inconceivable that the century mark could be broken, but that's exactly what Wills did. By season's end with his record 104 stolen bases, Wills set a new major league record. Wills went on to lead the National League in stolen bases for six straight seasons, from 1960-1965, and has a lifetime total of 585 stolen bases. Wills was also a major force on the winning L.A. Dodger team for 14 years and helped lead the Dodgers to three World Series victories in 1959 (his first year wearing the Dodger cap), 1963, and 1965. In addition, he also guided the Dodgers to a National League pennant victory in 1966.
On September 23, 1962 Wills broke Ty Cobb's record of 97 stolen bases in one year. At the time, it was almost inconceivable that the century mark could be broken, but that's exactly what Wills did. By season's end with his record 104 stolen bases, Wills set a new major league record. Wills went on to lead the National League in stolen bases for six straight seasons, from 1960-1965, and has a lifetime total of 585 stolen bases. Wills was also a major force on the winning L.A.

In addition, he also guided the Dodgers to a National League pennant victory in 1966.
