LOS ANGELES, CA–(CRWENewswire - 08/02/10) - Robert H. Lorsch, Chairman and CEO of MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTC.BB:MMRF) (www.mymedicalrecords.com), received his third vindication over the USDA in a seven-year battle which began in an effort to save more than 800 wild and exotic animals located at the Wildlife WayStation (WWS) north of Los Angeles. Lorsch, in his role as “Best Friend” of the WayStation, helped the non-profit sanctuary, which has rescued and rehabilitated over 70,000 animals since its inception, correct more than 400 violations to come into compliance and regain its license. Details of the Decision are discussed in an article written by Andrew Klips, a freelance journalist and founder of OTC Showcase http://www.otcshowcase.com/?p=817, which follows information regarding publicly traded small cap companies. The article compares Lorsch’s experience with the USDA with the well-publicized recent firing of Shirley Sherrod.

The case started in 2003 when the USDA filed a complaint against the Wildlife WayStation for code violations. When Lorsch asked representatives of the USDA what would happen if the WayStation could not comply, he was told that a large portion of the animal population could be euthanized. The organization cured all of the then pending violations through Lorsch’s efforts, together with friends, business associates, local law enforcement and celebrities in the Hollywood community. “After the Wildlife WayStation raised and spent millions on compliance and received all necessary permits and licenses from county, state and federal agencies, the USDA filed a lawsuit, apparently with complete disregard for the lives of these animals,” said Lorsch. “The USDA pursued for seven years an organization whose goal is protecting and caring for wild and exotic animals. I still have no idea of the agenda of certain individuals at the USDA other than to waste taxpayer’s money. In the interim, the Wildlife WayStation continues to save the lives of countless animals that otherwise might not exist today.”

Marc R. Hillson, Chief Administrative Law Judge, stated in his first Decision in the case, “In many ways, the government’s case against Lorsch illustrates the maxim that ‘no good deed goes unpunished.’”

Los Angeles County experienced a series of fires this past Friday.

The first fire was in Santa Clarita near Calgrove Boulevard. It broke out at about 1:30 p.m. and quickly covered an area of 15 acres. Three helicopters sprayed water as 100 firefighters battled the blaze on the ground. At 3:30 p.m., the fire, which had threatened 30 homes, was finally put out. Some homes, as well as the freeways in the area, were evacuated until 7 pm.

The second fire was near 14 Freeways in Acton. This fire burned on a 23-acre area near Hubbar Road and Escondido. The pungent smoke caused one person living nearby to lose consciousness. A vehicle was also reported to be burned in the fire. The blaze was reported at 3:30 p.m and was fought by 150 firefighters. It took two hours to put it out.

While firefighters were busy with the fires in Santa Clarita and Acton and arson investigators trying to determine the cause of the two incidents, another bush fire of a small scale was reported near Dodger Stadium at about 6 p.m. The fire covered an area of three acres and was in an uneven area that trucks could not reach. So with the help of helicopters spraying water, 69 firefighters battled the fire. While it was being fought, two lanes on the Southbound110 Freeway were closed.

A greyhound bus accident killed 6, and many were left injured. The bus was on its way from Los Angeles to Sacramento. It was travelling on a highway in California Central Valley. The bus driver tried to save the bus from another crash and unfortunately smashed the bus into a tree and a concrete divider. The accident took place at 2:14 am. High way 99 is reported to be closed since the crash. Investigations are on going.

Out of the 34 injured people, 24 are reported to have minor injuries.
The bus left Los Angeles late Wednesday, and had a stop at Fresno and was headed for its next stop at Madera, on its way to Sacramento.

A High way patrol spokesman told reporters “We’re still trying to piece everything together”. Authorities believe that at least one of the people who died was a person in the overturned SUV.

Relatives of all the passengers were worried. There were sighs of relief when they received calls from the accident victims.

The uninjured passengers were carried by a relief bus to the Sacramento Grey hound bus station at about 7:30 a.m.

The relief bus delivered a few of the passengers who were not injured to the downtown Sacramento Greyhound bus station at around 7:30 a.m.

Out of the 47 passengers on the bus, six are dead. The dead consisted of 4 men and two women. Amid the men who died, was the bus driver too.
