ARTICLES BY DATERoger Clinton Lobbying Revealed

By Alison Leigh Cowan The New York Times, August 26, 2001

Roger Clinton was hacking his way through a friendly game of golf in 1999 when his foursome was interrupted by a visitor who drove up on a cart and, after a brief conversation, handed Clinton a box containing a Rolex watch. The encounter near the 10th hole of the Rancho Park golf course in Los Angeles might have been forgotten but for a few salient details. Current and former federal government officials say the young man who delivered the watch was Tommy Gambino, son of a convicted heroin trafficker serving a 45 year sentence.

NEW YORK Once there was a subpoena issued to Carlo Gambino for an appearance before a grand jury in Manhattan, and while the jurors certainly wanted to see him,cartier replica diamond love ring, he sure didnt want to see them. Carlo, head of the Mafia in New York, did not approve of public speaking. So, faced with this problem, Carlo sat in his house on Long Island in moody thought. Of course there was the oldest ploy of all: enter the hospital. Joseph Gambino, of Staten Island, and John Gambino, 52, of Brooklyn, were arrested at the South Haven Hotel and Apartments on Bayshore Drive after FBI agents and the Broward County Metropolitan Intelligence Unit smashed through a hotel door.

the trial of this century

It has fascinated and drawn people in, and everyone has an opinion. About everything.

Live blogs, streaming video, talk shows and opinion pieces have all been devoured,cartier replica ring with diamonds, driven by the central themes of a fallen hero, a beautiful young woman killed in her prime, and the possibility that this tragic love story was all a total accident.

As in OJ Simpson's trial,cartier replica ring gold, race was a heated issue,cartier replica ring box, as was Pistorius' privileged upbringing and his trial in front of a black woman from South Africa's townships.

Corruption was another theme of both, dissected over hours. Who could forget Simpson's lawyer Johnnie Cochrane accusing police of planting the bloodied glove at the athlete's Los Angeles home? Or the fact that a $5000 Rolex watch was allegedly stolen from Pistorius' home after the murder,cheap replica cartier love ring, and the murder weapon picked up with an ungloved hand?

Over the first few weeks of the Pistorius trial, the story led international news bulletins amid extraordinary headlines including the Malaysia Airlines flight 370 disaster, with more column inches written than were devoted to South Africa's national elections and a major presidential corruption scandal.

Pistorius was the golden boy of the London 2012 Olympics and the fascinated British media are understood to have thrown money at witnesses, all vying for exclusives with key players in the trial especially June and Barry Steenkamp, the heartbroken parents of a young woman who fell in love with the nation's hero.

course Pistorius is the main target, and the big American television networks are all vying for the right to broadcast his story CNN, ABC America and ITN are among the international frontrunners.

McDonnell Wife Found Guilty Of Public Corruption CBS Baltimore,van cleef & arpels fake necklace

Best Places To Picnic In BaltimoreThe weather is warming up and its time to wander into the beautiful outdoors and just enjoy being alive. If you want to do some outdoor activity with friends and family, and you don have a lot of money to spend, why not pack up some food and a few Frisbees and have yourself a picnic at some friendly location?

BALTIMORE (WJZ) A high powered couple could be headed to prison. Virginia former governor and his wife have been convicted of corruption for taking designer gowns, vacations and other lavish gifts from a businessman.

Teen arrested in connection with string of burglaries

SANTA ANA Police have arrested a 17 year old boy accused of burglarizing more than a dozen homes in Santa Ana and Garden Grove.

The value of the stolen items was estimated at more than $100,000.

The teen was arrested Wednesday after detectives identified him through a fingerprint left at one of the homes, said Cpl. Anthony Bertagna of the Santa Ana Police Department.

Detectives conducting surveillance arrested the boy when he walked out of his Santa Ana home. The boy was wearing an expensive watch that police believe he stole during a burglary, Bertagna said.

The teen, whom police did not identify because he is a minor, confessed to burglarizing the home where the fingerprint was found and then showed detectives 13 homes he burglarized in Santa Ana and three he burglarized in Garden Grove, Bertagna said.

said, did that one, I did that one, Bertagna said.

The rash of residential burglaries in the northeast part of the city began in March. The burglaries occurred in the morning and early afternoon while residents were at work, he said.

The boy targeted homes with unlocked windows and doors in the Floral Park,van cleef arpels copy necklace, West Floral Park and Santiago Park communities, Bertagna said.

Detectives recovered some stolen items, including a Rolex watch, jewelry and the watch the teenage boy was wearing, according to police.

Apple Watch Style Reviews Page 2

Skip Brooks from Alex Grant Creative Agency also believes in the power of classics.

a big Apple fan (dating back to prep school), Apple can do no wrong in my eyes. I usually a first generation buyer but I probably take a wait and see approach for the Apple Watch. But to be honest, I don think the Apple Watch will make a major impact in menswear because there is still a love of old aesthetics that the new watch can duplicate. From getting a vintage Rolex watch from your grandfather to saving up for that Omega that you saw James Bond wear on the big screen, the design of the Apple Watch can come close to the timeless aspirational timepieces or the mechanical masterpiece of an automatic watch."

"We now live in a world where people even question the functionality of watches, given the availability and usage of our cell phones. I believe the Apple Watch has a huge mountain to climb in not just the fashion world but with regular consumers. My father once gave a piece of advice in high school that stayed with me after all these years. When I showed him a picture of a luggage brand that started making watches, he replied, would you buy a watch from a company that doesn make watches? Sound advice that applies to almost everything, Apple products included.

Does the Apple Watch have staying power? Megan Collins of StyleGirlfriend will be watching,van cleef fake bracelet alhambra.

Apple Watch will definitely be a status symbol when it first hits the scene,van cleef & arpels fake alhambra bracelet, in the same way that some guys can wait to flash their new iPhone the day it comes out. What remains to be seen is whether it outlasts the phase to become a staple in every guy wristwatch rotation.

Street Style photo blogger Guerre, from Guerreisms, is skeptical.

initial thought was that the Apple Watch seemed to fit the GQ guy a guy who is into gadgets, trends, the sporty guy. I wondered what the point of the watch was beyond telling time, and in all honesty I guess I never was curious enough to find out. Can you connect your headphones to it? If so,van cleef arpels alhambra knock off bracelet, wouldn that be uncomfortable and awkward? Just about everyone has a smartphone so what the point of a smart watch?

I have to admit the watch looks good (in a modern way) it sleek and not an eyesore I a firm believer that time is precious and that what you measure your time with should reflect your belief about time. For the young, stylish guy this may do just that for them time is endless, full of fun and disposable. But for the more mature man of style, I think he rather stick to timepieces that just tell time and are reminders of moments as opposed to reminders of eras.

Calculator watches, and one first Swatch Watch, are reminders of periods of one life; I think the Apple Watch falls under that category. Something that fits the times and has its market.

is a trendy man watch, which is not always for the stylish man.

ZDNet David Gerwitz isn exactly enamored of the design either: going to put it right out there: it a thick, ugly clunker. [.] It sure seems like Apple watch is thicker, and looks alot like Apple stuck an iPhone 1 in the wash and it shrunk. There a lot of curviness where there doesn need to be, and a big, bulbous bottom where your wrist meets the phone.

Venture Beat John Koetsier pulled no punches, calling the Apple Watch and boring, arguing that its design does too little to separate it from its smartwatch competitors. Worst of all? He certain Steve Jobs would not sign off on its design.

Watch blog Hodinkee review by Benjamin Clymer mostly lauded the Apple Watch, but couldn help but note two glaring faults: first, it doesn fit beneath your shirt cuff with ease, meaning its bulk will be a regular distraction,van cleef and arpels perlee knock off bracelet, and second, despite some neat styling features, it still lacks emotion compared to a mechanical watch. makes the millions of us who would never trade a Rolex in for an Apple is the emotion brought about by our watches the fact that they are so timeless, so lasting, so personal. Nothing digital, no matter if Jony Ive designed it, could ever replace that, if for no other reason than sheer life cycle limitations. My watches will last for generations; this Apple Watch will last for five years, if we're lucky.

A man was attacked with a crowbar by robbers who stole his watch and car. The gang of three, armed with a crowbar and baseball bat,van cleef arpels knock off bracelet, burst through the front door of a house on Emily Close in Failsworth.

They demanded the 23 year old victim hand over his Rolex watch before punching him twice and hitting him over the head with the crowbar.

One of the gang then ripped the watch off the victim's arm, while another threatened the man's father.

The third robber, who was holding a baseball bat,alhambra replica bracelet van cleef, ran up the stairs, ransacked one of the bedrooms and took the box for the watch.

All three robbers escaped in the victim's BMW 318i M Sport after stealing his keys.

The robbery happened at 8.15pm on Thursday January 20.

Detective Constable Simon Halliwell, based at Oldham CID, said: "It is vital we trace these robbers because they had no qualms about using violence to take what wasn't theirs.

A Bentley driving ex con who was awarded $15 million after losing his leg in a clash with cops was convicted of assault Friday for clocking an ex stripper in Manhattan.

Thomas Hartmann, 42, faces a year behind bars when he's sentenced next month for a drunken upper East Side street brawl in which he smacked Sophia Kandelaki with his Rolex watch, leaving a deep gash on her left temple.

Manhattan jurors didn't buy Hartmann's claims she was trying to rob the millionaire last April and believed he intended to injure the curvy Kandelaki, who he met hours before at a bar near his E. 75th St. home.

"A lot of the testimony wasn't relevant to the case the victim wasn't on trial here,alhambra knock off bracelet van cleef," a juror said.

Hartmann, who was released on his own recognizance until his Feb 7 sentencing,van cleef gold knock off bracelet, faces up to a year behind bars on the misdemeanor assault conviction, prosecutors said.

The fake sheikh and his greatest hits

What was somewhat more surprising, however, is how Mazher Mahmood, the News of the World's investigations editor, pulled off his scoop armed with a disguise that has become the most celebrated cover in the modern media: that of the fake sheikh. It is an astonishingly successful device and has helped him net some of the most talked about stories in recent years.

The Royal Family are not the only ones to succumb. So too have actors,van cleef and arpels replica alhambra bracelet, criminals and until Princess Michael most recently Carole Caplin, the friend of Tony and Cherie Blair. The inventor of the role, the shadowy Mahmood, has ambivalent feelings about his creation. "Real sheikhs have my deepest sympathies. When I display the wealth they live with every day, it exposes greed and hypocrisy," he told his own newspaper in 2001 after tape recording a catalogue of hugely embarrassing opinions aired by the Countess of Wessex, the former Sophie Rhys Jones. According to publicist Max Clifford, Princess Michael was the perfect target.

Mahmood's cover was that of a potential buyer for the couple's country home, Nether Lypiatt. "If you look at their situation, they were desperate to sell," said Clifford. "Who are the kind of people who have got that amount of money and who might want to buy a bit of the aristocracy? They were sitting ducks. Sophie was a far more difficult target."

The sheikh routine is well rehearsed. The white jalabia is accompanied by a flowing robe and the agal, or headdress. Then there is a special black and gold robe, only worn by members of the 25,000 strong House of Saud. Expensive shoes and a Rolex watch complete the routine, along with a Ferrari or a helicopter. He also likes to puff away on a hubble bubble pipe as he coaxes the story out of his victim.

If the non smoking, teetotal son of a Midlands magistrate had been a police officer, Mahmood would have a proud record. He regularly boasts of having helped secure the convictions of 134 criminals (though the Arabic disguise was rarely required to land the grim procession of low rent paedophiles, people traffickers and villains).

His work is not without danger. Forced to inhabit a twilight world of aliases and cover stories, he refuses to be photographed. His stories are typically accompanied by a silhouette. There have also been very real threats to kill him. Colleagues who worked with him at the Sunday Times, from where he was sacked in 1989, recall him as a remote figure. Some at the News of the World who admire his results privately question his no holds barred approach.

It is an approach that has come under increasing scrutiny in the English courts. Radio 2 disc jockey Johnnie Walker, exposed by Mahmood as a cocaine user,van cleef and arpels clover fake bracelet, was treated with unusual leniency because the court disapproved of the "sting" technique used to gather the evidence. In the case of Rhodri Giggs, the brother of Manchester United star Ryan, the trial judge took the unusual step of asking prosecutors to consider bringing charges against Mahmood for supplying drugs and illegal possession.

Most spectacularly, the case against a gang allegedly plotting to kidnap Victoria Beckham was dropped. The News of the World was outraged. But according to Mr Clifford, courts are right to treat the reporter's stories with caution. "A good story often has very little to do with reality. And I'm saying that as someone who has had 150 front pages in the last 18 months. What might make an entertaining read might not necessarily prove to be an investigative triumph," he said.

Princess Michael of KentPrincess Michael of Kent apparently needed little encouragement to share her views on the Royal Family with the stranger she thought was a wealthy Arab prince.

Diana, Princess of Wales was a "bitter" and "nasty" woman, her former husband Charles was "jealous" of her popularity. He had merely married a "womb", she said. The Prince of Wales's wife Camilla would one day be Queen, despite the monarch and the public's ambivalence to her son's second marriage. Prince William, meanwhile was still "too young" to marry his girlfriend Kate Middleton, as was his younger brother Prince Harry and his South African girlfriend Chelsy Davy.

Although anyone with a passing interest in the Royal Family might not view these insights into the inner workings of the Windsors as particularly outrageous, the News of the World had little doubt what it thought of the woman dubbed Princess Pushy's thoughts: Treachery!

The newspaper exploited the opportunity to get to the 60 year old Princess afforded by the sale of her 17th century Cotswolds manor house Nether Lypiatt. All it took was a tip off and a couple of calls to the estate agents Savills for the fake sheikh to set in place his latest sting. Donning the trademark robes,van cleef alhambra copy bracelet, Mahmood assembled his entourage. He hired a helicopter to convey him to the Princess's 6m pile where he apparently found his quarry "falling over herself to flaunt her royalty".

The ease of it all constituted a "shocking security lapse", Mahmood wrote, while her "deeply offensive revelations" constituted an "appalling act of betrayal" to the Royal Family.

A second meeting was convened at Claridges hotel in London. This time the Princess, the daughter of Baron Gunther von Reibnitz, rode to the defence of Prince Harry over the wearing of Third Reich insignia to a fancy dress party. "But I believe if he had been wearing the hammer and sickle there wouldn't have been so much fuss made," she said.

During negotiations over the purchase of the house, Mahmood claimed the Princess attempted to convince him that it was on a par with that of Prince Charles's at Highgrove and then pleaded poverty, despite having rooms at Kensington Palace. "You know my husband [Prince Michael, the Queen's cousin] is not paid anything for all the work he does."

In a bizarre twist, she even claimed to be able to secure a white tiger, e mailing photographs of herself feeding white tiger cubs to the reporter.

As a parting gift she presented the News of the World team with a jar of home made jam. In what was construed as a parting shot at the Prince of Wales, whose Duchy Originals foods have proved a lucrative sideline, she said: "He doesn't make it himself he's got factories. It's just got his name on it."

The Countess of Wessex April 2001

So convinced was the Countess of Wessex of the importance of Sheikh Maz, she bowed her head in deference as they shook hands, the newspaper reported after a week of media speculation that preceded publicationof its Sophie tapes. The setting was the Dorchester Hotel, central London. Also present was her business partner, Murray Harkin. Sophie Wessex was lured there with the prospect of managing a 20,000 a month public relations account for a Saudi prince. Prince Edward's wife proceeded to share her views on members of the Government, the Leader of the Opposition and other issues of the day. Lampooning William Hague's appearance and Yorkshire accent, she went on to describe "President Blair" and the "frightening" tax rises and "pap budget" presided over by Gordon Brown. The Prime Minister's wife,van cleef and arpels perlee knock off bracelet, who "hates" the countryside, continued to work as a barrister only to "keep her hand in". The Countess was forced to resign from her PR firm and prompted Buckingham Palace to announce guidelines to prevent what it described as a further "conflict of interest".

Freddie Shepherd March 1998

Relaxing in the Crescendo lap dancing bar in the millionaires' harbour of Puerto Banus, in Marbella, Newcastle United's bosses, Freddie Shepherd and Doug Hall, believed they were talking to a Middle Eastern businessman looking to fund a foreign team. Recorded word for damning word by Mahmood on what became known as the Toongate tapes, the chairman and his vice chairman let rip with a torrent of indiscretions. "Newcastle girls are all dogs, England is full of them," Mr Shepherd told the reporter. During a trawl of sex bars both men spoke candidly about their preferences dismissing former Newcastle and England manager Kevin Keegan as "Shirley Temple" because of his saintly behaviour. They boasted they sold 600,000 replica shirts a year and encouraged drunkenness among fans. So sensational were their indiscretions that the newspaper made its tapes available to its readers to listen to on a phone line. Thousands took the opportunity to listen in. Mr Shepherd and Mr Hall claimed they were victims of "entrapment" and "gross deception".

John Alford August 1997

The former Grange Hill star was enjoying national celebrity as the baby faced firefighter Billy Ray in London's Burning when he met Mahmood at the Savoy Hotel. Whathappened next was to be played out in the English legal system, all the way up to the High Court. While the actor admitted he was "technically guilty" of supplying cannabis and cocaine he maintained right up to his appeal that he was the victim of entrapment by the newspaper. The results of the sting were devastating for the star. He was immediately fired by ITV from his 50,000 a year job with the hit show. In May 1999 he was jailed for nine months for drugs offences. During the trial, where he defended himself, Alford like many before and others to come was shown bowing to the reporter who he believed to be Sheikh Mohammed al Kareem. The reporter had approached the actor offering the prospect of a 100,000 deal to help launch a nightclub in Dubai. Crucially for the case against him, a videotape made of the meeting showed him accepting 300 to buy Class A drugs.

David and Victoria Beckham November 2002

Mahmood's revelation that a criminal gang of eastern Europeans planned to kidnap the pop star wife of footballer David Beckham was hailed as his greatest ever scoop. So high were the stakes that this time the reporter, working with a team of investigators, tipped off Scotland Yard's SO7 specialist kidnap unit in advance. According to the information he passed to the police, the gang was plotting to make the snatch outside the Beckhams' Hertfordshire home in six weeks and demand a 5m ransom. The reporter had infiltrated the network by feigning an interest in trading stolen goods. After a surveillance operation, the police moved in, arresting five at the Ibis Hotel in London's Docklands. The drama was captured by the newspaper's reporters and photographers. The story appeared in the following day's edition. Police confirmed the men were arrested for allegedly trying to sell items stolen from Sotheby's auction house. But the Crown Prosecution Service's case collapsed in court in June 2003. One of the alleged gang unsuccessfully sued the newspaper for libel.
