DONT FORGET The Annual August CADS Cricket Lunch! Friday Aug 26, 2011, 12 noon to 2pm. Cricket Clinic from 12:30 noon to 1:00 Lunch 1:00 to 2pm
During the summer, theres nothing quite like the sweet sound of the willow striking leather. Especially if you understand what Yorkshire fast bowler Fred Trueman meant when he said Cricket is a great leveler. India were Goliath ghting David, only they didnt know how the story would end. In just a few short, shocking weeks, England have become the top-ranked nation in Test cricket after crushing India by an innings and 242 runs in the third Test match at Edgbaston. James Anderson set
England on the victory trail by removing Gautam Gambhir, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman inside the rst hour in a brilliant spell of swing bowling. England have now secured a 3-0 lead with only one match remaining. Its the rst time England have occupied top spot since the creation of the table back in 2003. Lets see if history repeats itself with the one day Internationals (as in that woeful one-day England performance after we won the Ashes).

GARDENING LEAVE: Rebekah Brooks, on three months gardening leave, after which she will pocket 4m so long as she behaves
"NEWS International declines to comment on the nancial arrangements of any individual, is what the ex-publisher of the News of the World steadfastly tells anyone who asks whether it is still paying Rebekah Brooks following her resignation a month ago. CADS, however, is quite happy to comment. Brooks is currently on three months gardening leave, at the end of which she will (providing she keeps her nose clean) receive a payoff of around 4m.
The anti-Islam party PVV asks journalists for their personal data, including their citizen service number (BSN), when they apply to attend a press conference, news agency GPD reports on Thursday. Asking for someone's BSN number is against the law, the GPD quotes privacy experts as saying. And for a political party to do so is entirely unacceptable. The PVV says they ask for the information at the request of the national terrorism coordinator and the royal and diplomatic security service (DKDB) responsible for the security of Geert Wilders.

CHAIRMANS CORNER
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
We had a very pleasant, well-attended lunch last month, with a short debate on the BBC World Service radio, proposed by yours truly after the fashion of Mark Anthony at Caesars funeral. After a spirited rebuttal by Allan Poot based on the ecological benets of closing the transmitters, the result was pretty much a 50/50 vote on the motion. So there it rests, with no mandate for further action. We were joined by the BBC Awards sponsors GNE, and their President Abel Rasterhoff, who gave us excellent insight on the current affairs disasters resulting from the cucumber genocide earlier in the year. If only the police force of London had been present, they might have better understood what was about to be visited on them! Ilse van den Meijdenberg, the new Chair of the IoD in The Netherlands, was also present, and has offered to tell us a little more of her organisation at a future lunch. This month we have a most timely outing to the Amsterdamsebos to revisit the International Cricket Ground. As you may know, English men and women everywhere can hold their heads high at the moment when cricket is mentioned, having just regained the position of the best cricket team in the world. John Richardson has organized the outing, and we will enjoy a cricket clinic, followed by an excellent pavilion lunch. Next month we have the rst formal lunch of the autumn term, and the CADS golf day. The
golf will be held at Haarlemmermeersche on Friday the 16th September, starting at 1230 for the golf and 1800 for the dinner. Costs are roughly 50 Euros for the golf, and 35 Euros for the dinner with wine. Please let me have your entries by 5th September, together with your handicap if you are golng. Recently we have had dreadful events on the streets of London and Manchester, with looting and violence by some young gang members and the criminals who incite them. Lost amid the media storm was a report from Income Data Services, that directors in Britain's top 100 companies have accumulated nal salary retirement pots worth 2.8m each on average, widening the gap between pensions awarded to boardroom executives and the shop oor. Whilst over 75% of nal salary schemes have closed to new workers over the past 10 years, only 3% of the directors schemes have closed in the same period. And some company directors have awarded themselves pension pot contributions of up to 29 times salary over the past year! All well and good if the company belonged to them, but when they rob other stakeholders to enrich themselves, it is as much a crime as looting the local store. And these are the top 100 companies all of them publicly quoted. Is it any wonder that the public is revolting Best wishes, Mike
by OLD MAN HACHS Circulating on the Internet is the program developers version of the story. This large Wall Street institution has for the past 10 years been tapping into the SEC servers, buying all the shares available for sale on the NYSE, and then selling them on to buyers who are offering to buy, at a rounded up price. The process happens in microseconds, and the Gold and Sex intervention remains secret from both buyer and the seller, since their servers are co-located with those of the NYSE 30 miles out of town, and the extra transactions are completed before the screens downtown can react. Gold and Sex reaps ~1% of the NYSE turnover from this little fraud. Since the turnover is ~175bn USD per day, the prot for Gold and Sex is over 40bn USD every year! Several federal inquiries have been started, but so far no one has had the political clout to overcome the hordes of senators and representatives paid off with Gold and Sex.
