“His usual targets – major crooks, drug dealers, contract killers – are not on our client list.”Stonborough also involved himself in the aftermath of the Marchioness disaster when he represented the RMC group, owner of the dredger that collided with the pleasure boat on the Thames, causing 51 deaths by drowning. “Everyone has a right to a fair hearing, but there are some things I don’t want to be associated with.”But Stonborough sticks with clients that many others in the damage limitation sector might turn away. He represented Ian Greer Associates, the lobbying firm at the centre of the Neil Hamilton cash-for-questions affair when it came under scrutiny by The Cook Report. “But I don’t spar with Roger Cook a great deal,” he adds quickly. “Some real crooks have walked in this store and asked for my help,” he says, claiming to have dropped a client recently who was involved in vivisection and drug-testing. Lowe Bell Communications, one of the highest-profile outfits in London, occupies the rest of the building.
His decision is being hailed as a “coup” by Stonborough, who is eager to reap the maximum PR advantage from it.Their pinstriped partnership operates from a basement office near Park Lane. “The fact is I’m just getting justice for a different group of people, making sure my clients get a fair crack of the whip.”The victories are when we can make a programme disappear altogether or when we force changes which make a programme less damaging to our client’s reputation or bottom line than it might have been.”To assist him in his crusade, Stonborough has just hired as a consultant David Williams from the BBC. Williams, a qualified barrister, had been with the corporation for 14 years, latterly as deputy head of legal affairs. Now his lengthy list of blue-chip clients past and present includes British Airways, Barings bank, Tesco and British Rail.”I remember The Mirror wrote a shitty piece about me when I changed sides,” he says. He worked for Radio 4’s investigative programme Checkpoint for four years and did a similarly long stint on Channel 4’s award-winning consumer programme 4 What It’s Worth.Not surprising, then, that he was pilloried in the tabloid press when, in 1988, he decided to cross the wire and market himself as a “media relations consultant”. After three years in the Metropolitan Police, he carved out a broadcasting career by tracking down villains and exposing fraud on both TV and radio. But I let them have it when I think they’re overstepping the mark.”Stonborough is the ultimate poacher-turned-gamekeeper.
Stonborough makes a living by marketing himself as a damage limitation expert to major companies which find themselves the target of scrutiny by investigative TV programmes. What’s the commotion? Oh, it’s just John Stonborough doing his job. Accusations fly and, for a few tense moments, a couple of coffee mugs also threaten to become airborne.

I grew up watching Rick Pitino bitch at press conferences and Antoine Walker doing his shimmy. But it wasn’t because they played in Boston and I lived in Massachusetts. But that didn’t translate to other sports and it’s pretty easy as to why I didn’t grow up watching the Knicks, Giants, or Jets because my parents weren’t big basketball or football fans.With basketball I’ve always been a fan of players rather than teams, but if I were to pick a team as my favorite (after Michael Jordan’s retirement) it would be the Celtics. The first NBA game I attended was a Celtics game. When they came back to the states, they landed in New Jersey with family, and as a result became Yankee fans.It just so happens that they moved to Massachusetts, had kids, and took them to Yankee Stadium instead of Fenway Park. So I grew up a Yankee fan and it’s pretty hard not to; they’re the greatest franchise in professional sports. They were both born in New York City before each moved to Puerto Rico within 6 months.
It’s pretty simple.I became a Yankees fan through my parents. So, in effect, it’s Red Sox Nation. Second, I’m a Boston Celtics fan.Now you’re probably thinking, “What the ****?”Yup, I know Most people probably don’t think it’s possible, nor allowed But I’m going to tell you how it happened. A pretty big one too.I grew up going to Yankee Stadium, watching Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera demonstrate greatness and Scott Brosius and Chad Curtis adding enough to win championships (I’m 19, so that’s growing up for me).So you’re probably thinking, “OK, and…?”.First, I’m from Massachusetts. Not from Boston, but Worcester, the second most-populated city in New England, located about 45 minutes from Beantown. I am a New York Yankees fan. Again, you didn’t need me to tell you that he makes a fraction of what Dontrelle Willis makes.Once again, the Marlins seem to time the right moment to sell-high on their big players and find cheap, young players to fill in.I commented on Rich Lederer’s recent column over at The Baseball Analysts and pointed out the ‘Top Three/Bottom Three’ phenomenon.Rich responded with “just as practice doesn’t make perfect…perfect practice makes perfect, spending does not equal success…only wise spending equals success.”I totally agree.Now, let’s just see if this can hold up throughout the rest of the season..
None of those three are making more than $500,000 this year.Cantu has replaced Cabrera at third, and he has hit more home runs and has a higher OPS than his predecessor so far this season.You didn’t need me to tell you that he’s making a fraction of what Cabrera makes.And what about Andrew Miller?The 23-year old has a 2.77 ERA in his last nine starts, and he has been one of the best starting pitchers in the National League during the months of May and June. Who needs $200 million anyway?As I write this, the three lowest-payroll teams in baseball (Marlins, Rays, and A’s) have a better record than the top three payrolls (Yankees, Mets, and Tigers).The Marlins continue to exceed expectations.They’re three games back in the NL East and six games over .500.In the offseason, they unloaded Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis, in an effort to cut a third of their payroll, to a league-low $21 million.For what its worth, the Yankees are paying Alex Rodriguez $28 million this year, and they find themselves with a worse record than the Marlins.The Marlins have received huge contributions from unlikely guys, like second baseman Dan Uggla (156 OPS+), third baseman Jorge Cantu (121 OPS+), and outfielder Cody Ross (.503 SLG). Hopefully, in time, Keith Hernandez will come down from the broadcasting booth to run this team the way that it should be run, with a firm hand, and with a strict mindset.. How much more time will it take until the rest of the team follows suit? More importantly, at the end of the year, who is going to want to take over this circus? Right now, taking the Mets job is a career suicide, and any smart individual would not even interview for the position, let alone take it!What can be done then? Right now, the skies are very cloudy over Flushing, Queens. The Mets lost to the Angels before, and, in addition, Manuel took out Jose Reyes after an injury when he did not want to leave the game. True, Manuel was only looking out for his star shortstop, but considering that Reyes threw his helmet off in disgust afterwards, it is safe to say that he did not agree with the call. One game in, and one player is already upset, and a huge player at that.
Combine this with the fact that many are headcases on the team to begin with, and this is a perfect recipe for disaster.The move has already backfired in a way. Soon enough, the players are going to be wondering whether or not they are safe as well. One need not look any further than the shining example set forth by Billy Wagner, who, just a few weeks ago, blamed only the players of the team for not playing as expected.During the middle of the season, a move like this is never a good thing People near the top of the organization lost their jobs. In addition, the team fired Randolph right after the beginning of a West Coast road trip.Finally, in what many are deeming a classless move, they announced the decision through a press release at 3:15 AM EST. Leave it to the Mets to make such a terrible call. The players liked Randolph, even if they were not playing up to par.
Lita is said to have a good wrestling mind, but will she go there?This is all rumored of course, but many think Lita will come in at least for the set-up to the Bound For Glory PPV.She accepted a DJ job back in 2007 with a Punk Rock Station on Sunday Nights out of Atlanta. Watt and what a great addition he makes to the D-line. In the scrimmage on Saturday, every Badger tailback crushed, going for big gains, and that was with an offensive line chock full of redshirt freshman (Brown: 16/133, long of 63 (TD); Ball: 15/122, long of 82). Not a good sign for defending power running teams (Fresno State, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Iowa come to mind). Where were the linebackers?

There have been points in the season were the Cubs looked totally out of it, and now suddenly they are tied for first along with the Cards. The Cubs are behind the Cards in hitting and pitching, but their offense has started to pick up as of late and that is why you see them on top of their division.The Cubs season hasn’t been without a lot of criticism of the team and the signings of certain players. After the ASB, Rollins averages a HR every 37.7 at-bats, opposed to one out of every 47.1 at-bats before the ASB.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 12, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NASDAQ OMX Nordic, part ofThe NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:NDAQ), today announces that its centralcounterparty clearing (CCP) service partners EMCF, EuroCCP and SIX x-clear haveagreed to achieve interoperability by January 29th 2010. Interoperabilitybetween the CCP parties allows members at NASDAQ OMX Nordic exchanges tointeract with multiple clearing houses to clear and settle their trades.Today NASDAQ OMX offers optional CCP on its Nordic markets through EMCF, andwill on October 9th, 2009, introduce mandatory CCP clearing (subject toregulatory approvals). In May 2009 NASDAQ OMX entered agreements with CCPclearing service providers SIX x-clear and EuroCCP in order to support acompetitive clearing model on its Nordic markets.Hans-Ole Jochumsen, President of NASDAQ OMX Nordic said, “We are enthusiasticabout the determination among our CCP partners to accomplish interoperabilityand we are confident that a competitive CCP model will act to drive liquidityand lower investor costs. This agreed-upon timeline will allow NASDAQ OMX Nordicto go from bilateral to competitive clearing in only 16 months, making us thefirst regulated market to offer CCP with a choice of three different serviceproviders.”Commenting on the announcement, Jan Booij, Chief Executive Officer of EMCF said,”We look forward to offering the Nordic community a true interoperability modelwith three CCP’s involved.
This initiative can truly be seen as a milestone inEurope since the implementation of MIFiD and we trust it will encourage otherEuropean Exchanges to offer a similar model to their members.”Marco Strimer, Chief Executive Officer of SIX x-clear said, “We will continue towork with NASDAQ OMX and the other partners to create choice of CCP’s in theNordic market and allow a pain-free transition for members that wish to changeCCP service provider. We look forward to helping the market grow through ourrole of CCP for risk management, efficiency and innovation.”Diana Chan, Chief Executive Officer of EuroCCP, said, “EuroCCP is pleased to bemoving forward with NASDAQ OMX and fellow clearing firms EMCF and SIX x-clear toestablish CCP interoperability in the Nordic markets. NASDAQ OMX Nordic clientswill benefit from having a truly competitive choice of clearers, and EuroCCPlooks forward to helping to deliver this important initiative.”Central Counterparty Clearing and InteroperabilityCentral counterparty clearing involves the legal transfer of obligations to acentral counterparty, which becomes the buyer to the seller and the seller tothe buyer. With the CCP counterparty risk — or the risk that one party to atrade suffers losses because the other party cannot fulfill its obligations –is mitigated.Interoperability between clearing houses allows market participants to choosethe CCP they prefer to use, increasing competition and lowering investor costs.CCP interoperability also enables cross netting of trades for firms that use thesame CCP for transactions executed on different trading venues, which providessignificant cost savings from lower margin requirements, fewer settlements, andsimpler operations.The availability of CCP services from SIX x-clear and EuroCCP on NASDAQ OMXNordic markets, on January 29th is conditional on FSA approval ofInteroperability Agreements between EMCF and SIX x-clear and EuroCCP.
