Stormes: 5 steps to systematically better decision-making
Beyond Competitive Advantage
Send this to a friend
- Sean Stormes, Contributing Writer
(Page 4 of 4)
1. The data "speak," but do you know how to listen and accurately interpret? Reviewing raw numbers on a spreadsheet may be the most dangerous activity in business because decisions often are made based on a manager's experience, intuition and interpretations (anecdotal) versus statistical knowledge (proof): "We made 14 sales per day last month and only 10 this month. Heads are gonna roll!"
The most basic understanding of statistics teaches us that seven data points increasing or decreasing in succession signify a system change, and seven in a row above or below the mean also signal a change. Any other performance is simply random variation — meaning if you want better performance, the system needs to be improved, not the worker.
Making decisions based on uncharted lag measures, personal bias and the lack of profound knowledge only increases the variation of a system, significantly increasing margin-eroding waste and rework. Leadership must understand the capability of the system because setting goals outside the capability will create only frustration, robbing employees of their right to pride of workmanship.

Watch: Pedestrians in Shanghai Paint Beautiful Trees By Crossing the Street Watch: Pedestrians in Shanghai Paint Beautiful Trees By Crossing the Street
Watch: Pedestrians in Shanghai Paint Beautiful Trees By Crossing the Street
In 2010, the China Environmental Protection Foundation and Jody Xiong of DDB China created a visual campaign to encourage commuters to walk instead of drive. They achieved this by placing a giant bare tree on white canvas in an intersection and green washable paint on both sides of the crosswalk. The more green foot prints left, the more the tree blooms! The murals were then hung as billboards in different parts of the city.
I would love to see this come back, not only in China, but in other heavy populated cities that suffer from high amounts of car pollution.

Cheap Tools Are Breakable: Duh
9 minutes. This air-fitting blower attachment for our compressor testing lasted all of 9 minutes. A simple drop onto a concrete floor from bench height, and this bad boy was leaking air in all the wrong places — like the thread collar.
On balance, it was a cheap-o Harbor Freight unit that cost us a whopping $1.50 in the bargain bin. You do get what you pay for, but I did hope the fitting would last longer than a beer break.
Is this a sign that all cheap tools are crap? No, of course not. It's a lesson that we should be more careful not to drop the tools that are made from thin, breakable materials when we know damn well they're not built to last.
4 Responses to Cheap Tools Are Breakable: Duh
K!P says:
ofcourse with a bit of bad luck a more expensive unit could also fail if it landed just right (or wrong).
Jerry says:
Like all HF stuff, there is good and bad and a lot depends on your planned use. I have picked up some really "cheesy" tools at HF. Many broke or ceased working relatively soon but others have been regularly used for 2 or 3 years with no issues. On the other end of the scale, I have had big brand tools fail very soon after purchase or break from even a short fall.
Sean says:
Cheap tools are cheap, except when you have to buy 4-5 of them to last as long as one medium grade manufacturer's equivalent tool.
And yet, if you know your cheap tool manufacturers well enough, you will find that the durability varies so widely that you might find an ugly-tool manufacturer that produces good steel, well tempered and proper alloy that will outlast your friendly local steel plated gold vendor's brands.
Usually, middle of the road manufacturers end up reliably giving the most bang for the buck. Not necessarily flash, doesn't have the cachet that you get by bragging you paid six months house payments for your tool chest (just the chest, the rest comes later), but leaves you enough at the end of the month to actually profit from your work.
ambush says:
I dunno K!P, I could probably chuck my Milton blowgun across the shop and it was less than $10.

Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.

From: Miami, FL
Region: Southeast
Topic: Groundcovers, Grasses or Grass-like
Title: Groundcovers for Miami FL
Answered by: Brigid & Larry Larson
QUESTION:What is a ground cover that does not need mowing or a lot of water and survives in South Florida heat and is also native to the area? I would like to turn my lawn into a more natural self-sustaining area. Thank you
Mr Smarty Plants offered a discussion of ground covers for southern Florida a while ago. These plants would also be good choices for you and they appear to be more lawn-like than the native plants I found from Miami-Dade county. Other excellent sources are the Florida Native Plant Society and Plant Real Florida. Plant Real Florida has a list of recommended plants set out by plant community for Miami-Dade County, this includes groundcovers. Similarly, the Florida Native Plant Society has a list of recommended plants for Dade County which can be divided into the different plant types.
In looking for specific recommendations for you, Mr Smarty Plants checked to see if there were plants on both the Wildflower list and these Florida lists. Three grasses are on both the Native Plant Society recommendations and the Wildflower Center recommended list for South Florida. These are Spartina patens (Marsh-hay cord grass), Tripsacum dactyloides (Eastern gamagrass) and Uniola paniculata (Sea oats). All of these grasses are a bit high for standard lawn use, so you may prefer a groundcover. The Plant Real list has four groundcovers that are also on the Wildflower Centers list. These are Batis maritima (Seaside saltwort), Zamia pumila (Coontie), Coreopsis leavenworthii (Common tickseed), and Pityopsis graminifolia (Narrowleaf silkgrass).
This is a great set of options. You will still need to review these for the effect you want also also how the ones you select look and grow together, but hopefully from this and the many choices on those lists you can find a groundcover that will work for you.

Who's the food mogul sitting at the top table?
Market leaders pick their market leader;
Wednesday 29 September 1999
Pizza Express
I HAVE a kind of philanthropic view of what we do at Pizza Express. The Pizza Express culture means that people who were pot washers some years ago are now in senior posts, masters of their trade. I find that aspect of the business extremely gratifying. It is important to be honest with your staff and for your staff to be honest with you, otherwise so much time is wasted; if you foul up, it's important to admit it and move on. If you take the whole thing too seriously and focus too much on failure, your world is liable to cave in as every day brings factors which could cause problems. But it is important to realise, in all levels of the restaurant trade, that you can always do better; it is important to do more than just cope. Increased competition keeps us on our toes.
I admire anyone who aims to serve the customer, and serve the customer well. Julian Metcalfe, chairman of Pret a Manger, has done wonders within the market he chose to serve. Chez Gerard is also a company I admire: they do what they do well. Ultimately if you're a success, it's thanks to your staff.
David Williams
Chief Executive
Chez Gerard
THE RESTAURANT sector is an extremely exciting and dynamic one. At the moment it is growing at high speed. To stand out you have to maintain a high standard of service and of food. You have to have a passion for the food, the customer service and the environment you create in your restaurants. In order to keep the business working, you need determination and consistency and a strong belief in the development of your staff. I think Pret a Manger and Pizza Express are both successfully running businesses based on quality food in closely targeted markets. Both businesses consistently deliver what they promise: quality products. Then of course there is Terence Conran who brought a new focus on image and design to the market. He raised the profile of restaurants in London to a new level.
Ivan Taylor
Chief Executive
Passion for Food Group
IN THE restaurant business, food and quality of service are what count. People are impressed by what the restaurant looks like for the first few visits but by that time, it is the food they are coming for. Pizza Express proves this point. We also are interested in delivering the highest standards of food and as a result one of our restaurant chains, Pizza Piazza, is currently changing to Pizza Organic. We're not out to prove a political point, we're just out to deliver good food. Pret a Manger is similar as all their products are labelled chemical-free.
As restaurateurs we are dealing in people's enjoyment and excitement; it is important to meet their expectations and to aim to exceed them. As a service industry we are tied to the public purse but it's important to stick with it through thick and thin.
For sheer ability, I admire Luke Johnson, now chairman of Belgo Group; he worked wonders with Pizza Express. Roger Myers stands out for me too. He started up Cafe Rouge. It is important to be innovative and always thinking ahead. You've can't just stick with the field, you've got to be leading it.
Tony Hughes
Operational director for restaurants, Bass
I LOOK after all sorts of different chains for our group: Harvester, Browns, Vintage Inns for example, all very different and I enjoy the variety of challenges that throws up. But what I really enjoy is seeing our people succeed. I am afraid I am a bit of a bad loser, so competing and winning is what I am about. It is a satisfying industry because, unlike manufacturing, you are given instant feedback: if the customers aren't happy, they complain and they don't come back.
It's important to be enthusiastic and have the energy to inspire your staff, and you have to have the humility to realise that you don't actually know everything. One man who encapsulates this is Julian Metcalfe of Pret a Manger: I love his principles, his heart and his passion for what he does.
James Naylor
Chief Executive
City Centre Restaurants
I AM frantically busy on a daily basis trying to liaise with all our operators; we own a range of mid-spend restaurants such as Garfunkels, Wok Wok and Cafe Uno. The restaurant industry is very much the fashion industry, it is all about keeping up to date. It's important to be willing to explore new avenues and it is of paramount importance to have your staff behind you.
I've been impressed by Peter Dickson, chairman of Yates' Wine Lodges, because he took an old fashioned family business, turned it around, and made a success of it. I would also pick out Julian Metcalfe, of Pret a Manger, for identifying a niche in the market and going for it.
Enzo Quaradeghini
Managing Director
Etrusca Group
I THINK it is a shame that the large restaurant culture of the past few years puts less emphasis on the customers. With our string of restaurants including Carravagio and Il Convivio in London, we try to look after our customers. It is impossible for me to do it single-handedly, so I have to instil the importance of "front of house" into our staff. If the restaurant is buzzing, the customers are more likely to return. I find it difficult to delegate, but it is important to let staff put their own stamp on each restaurant. I admire the dedicated in our industry: Marco Pierre White puts in the hours and runs his restaurants with the "my way or no way" attitude. [Terence] Conran took a big risk with his restaurants and it paid off. Whether I agree with what he does is irrelevant; I admire his consummate business skills.
Andy Bassadone
Chief Executive
Belgo Group
OURS IS a creative business the essence of which is the execution of an original idea. We find an interesting building, we imagine what it could become and then watch that idea come to fruition. It is a very exciting process and I enjoy working with the different people who help it come together - the architects, designers and so on.
I love the instant gratification that a restaurant can give: your customers are either happy or they aren't, and they will tell you. It is of fundamental importance to maintain consistency in standards, gimmicks are no longer enough. People no longer come to Belgo to see waiters in funny uniforms, they come because we serve good food and a wide range of Belgian beer. I know people like to knock [Terence] Conran but he really has reversed people's perception of London food. He has established new standards.
Mike Johnson
Managing Director

I TRAINED as a chef and waiter before I swapped the kitchen for the suit and I regard that experience as standing me in good stead now looking after chains like Cafe Rouge, Dome and Bella Pasta. It is critical that whoever is in charge understands restaurants at every level. You also have to be creative and bold in your view as that will have a knock-on effect on your staff. If your staff are enthusiastic, the customer will pick up on it and enjoy coming back. I admire Jeremy Mogford who started up Browns, where he is now non-executive chairman. He invested time and commitment in getting Browns right; he had an eye for buildings and an empathy for the space of a restaurant. Similarly, I admire other smaller concerns run by families who quietly get on with their cooking.

chesscube is a pretty overrating website, for instance I'm about 2350 there, which is absurd, chess.com only overrates a little bit, maybe 50-100 pnts compared to otb, but it also greatly depends on whether you're a better speed player than otb-player. If you're 1500 blitz here, you're fide probably isn't far behind it.
Hunh, I find chess.com CC rating to be a little low for me. But I've always played worse in 2d. I dunno why but I just don't think as well staring at the screen. I float around 1550 to 1600ish on chess.com but am fine playing B players otb.
Well if some people posted a comparison between OTB, Chess.com, and Chesscube, maybe we could make a solid comparison between ratings
They have. We have. The averages have too high of standard deviations.
There were enough posts to get a STD worth a squat?
A rating is a statistic based on your win, loss, draw record against specific opponents. There is no way to make an accurate comparison from one to the other.
It can be compare based on what the site or otb system used to rate chess players. Let's see if you have 10 wins 10 lose for Chess.com and 10 wins and lose in chesscube, do you believe that they are the same?
What makes a person a 2000 rated player in the first place? There has to be a requirement and a fixed point of reference to establish an understanding of what X rating represents.
The greatest chess player in the world is only "the greatest" because of the limitations of his competition.
Those two statments don't go together ;)

DALLAS — Texas coach Mack Brown entered Saturday's Red River Rivalry under intense pressure, and might have alleviated some of it with his team's 36-20 win over Oklahoma.
Texas coach Mack Brown: 'I thought we would win'
After the game, Brown spoke about his team's improvement, ending OU's three-year winning streak in the series and being the underdog:
Q: Do streaks in this rivalry game usually end when players are sick of hearing about it from the outside?
A: The one thing the outside can't predict is the will and determination of young people. … To me, I thought we would win today. I knew we would play really hard and I knew we would play really well. I didn't know if it would be good enough to win, but I thought we would win. But I knew this was going to be a different mindset coming into this game because they were not happy with the last two years and the way it has looked. As I said, walking out of here last year, there were a lot of things said in that dressing room that affected today.
You were a 14-point underdog going into the game. What does this say about the rivalry that you could be the underdog and win?
I think it says more about the state of college football and that anybody can beat anybody on Saturday if you play better than the other team. It is all about how you play and if you go out there and stand around you probably can't beat anybody. If you go out there ready to play, even if you mess things up like we messed some things up these guys did not let up at all.

Am I gonna earn big bucks from the weird news?
A— a serious godfather? A serious position where I'd be potentially responsible for the life of a little weird blob of flesh you an' Nate made — possibly on the couch — together? Listen, it's — uh — it's great you think you can trust me with that, I'm flattered, but I don't trust me with that. If you and Nate had a brain between ya you'd keep that kid as far from me as you can. I got some people after me — bad people — this ain't a safe conversation to be havin'.
Yeah, Wade, a serious godfather. I know it's a lot to be askin' of you, and I know your headspace's more than a lil' messed up at times, but there's not a whole lotta people I can trust with this. There's bad people after us too, and I reckon that'll be the case for the rest of our lives—-but we need a backup. I need to know you'll have our backs.
Am I gonna earn big bucks from the weird news?
…That's not the point.
No, the point was you're gonna be a godfather of a tiny lil' X-Force diaper-terrorist, but I'm gonna need to know if you're okay with that position. Lot depends on it, y'know, if we ever manage to get ourselves in trouble or blown to bits, we need'a know the kid'll have someone to turn to.

Sure, she talked a bunch. Mostly sass, but her mouth was moving, and he had been staring at her lips for a while now, though she hadn't yet picked up on that little fact just yet. Having a good sense of humor and the right skin complexion had lead to Neena's habit of painting her lips black most days, to fit the patch around her eye and compliment the black-and-white image that was her fashion statement—-though most of that was a simple natural stamp she'd gotten from Project Armageddon. Needless to say, when Daken's lips met hers, her lipstick formed a large, black smudge on both their faces, though mostly concentrated around the mouth, as Logan's kid was a much subtler kisser than the man himself,
not to mention more skilled.
Leaning away from the unexpected kiss after a prolonged moment, Neena raised a single eyebrow high enough for it to vanish under a lock of hair that had fallen in front of her face in the process of receiving the kiss. But in stead of focusing on her surprised reaction, she allowed for a half-smirk to slip across her features, taking in the sight of her lipstick smeared across Daken's lips.

Hip problem causing Red Sox's delay signing Mike Napoli
Dec 21, 2012, 9:15 AM EDT
It's now been three weeks since Mike Napoli agreed to a three-year, $39 million contract with the Red Sox and no official announcement has been made, leading to lots of speculation about what might be causing the holdup.
Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that Napoli "has a problem with one of his hips" which also "led the Mariners to back off their pursuit of him" earlier in the offseason.
Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington has avoided any meaningful comments on the situation, saying stuff like "we're working through some issues" when asked why Napoli remains unsigned, which Rosenthal speculates means the pre-signing physical exam revealed some red flags and Boston wants to re-work the language in his contract to lessen their long-term risk.
That's similar to what the Red Sox did with J.D. Drew years ago, when they waited nearly two months to announce his signing and ended up putting a clause in his $70 million contract that protected them should his shoulder problems become a major issue.
For now at least there's no indication that either side will try to back out of the deal completely.

W M MGNEIL WALL CONSTRUCTION FiledA Aug. 17, 1932 Patented Nov. 20, 1934 UNITED STATES WALL CONSTRUCTION William M. McNeil, Chicago, Ill., asaignor to United States Gypsum Company, Chicago, Ill., a
corporation of Illinois Application August 17, 1932, Serial No. 629,109-
22 Claims.
'I'his invention relates to building constructions, and has reference more particularly to wall constructions in which materials of a reproof nature are used.
In the construction of the walls of buildings, .partitions and the like, it is desirable to fonn said wallsaf materials of a reproof nature. In the construction of such a wall it is desirable to use steel studs and to provide a convenient means for supporting the bottom of the studs. The wall construction should also provide convenient means for running concealed electric light and telephone wires through the partition.
An object of this invention,l therefore, is to provide a wall or partition structure composed largely of flreproof materials.
Another object of the invention is to provide a wall construction in which steel studs are used and convenient means are provided for supporting the studs so as to enable the wall structure to be easily and quickly erected with the minimum of labor and expense.
A further object of the invention is to provide a wall structure of the class described in which provision is made for passing electric wires along the partition; also to improve building constructions in other respects hereinafter specified and claimed.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying c' 'awings forming a part of this speciflcation in which Fig. 1 is a perspective view of portions of the wall and partition structure,
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation through the wall construction,-
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of a modified form of plate used for supporting the lower ends of steel studs,
Fig. 4 is a sectional view of a modified form of partition construction, using the plate shown in Fig. 3,
Fig. 5 is a sectional perspective view of a further modifled form of wall structure,
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a modified form of stud-supporting runner,
Fig. 'l is a still further modified form of studsupporting plate shown in Fig. 5, and
Fig. 8 is an end elevation of the partition-supporting member shown in Figs. 5 and 7.
In erecting my improved wall construction, I preferably use steel studs 10, each composed of a pair of channel strips having their webs spotwelded together in a spaced, back-to-back position so as to form a substantially H shaped stud having outstanding flanges 11. The lower ends (Cl. 'I2-46) of the studs 10 are supported upon a U shaped channel strip 12 having an upstanding flange 13 formed along each edge thereof. Two pairs of upstanding integral lugs 14 are struck from the metal of the channel strips l2, said lugs resiliently engaging the webs and flanges of the studs 10 so as to prevent movement of the 'bottom end of the stud in` any horizontal direction. The channel strips l2 are supported in a horizontal position, spaced apart from the upper surface of a floor 16, by means of U shaped channel clips 17 having downwardly extending legs 18. An outstanding flange 19 is formed on the bottom of each of the legs 18, and said flanges terminate in upwardly extending flanges 20 which lie in spaced, parallel relation to the legs 18. The flanges 19 are preferably provided with perforations 21 so that said flanges may benailed to the floor. The clips 1'7 are secured to the web of the channel strips 12 by spot-welding 22, rivets or other suitable means, said clips 17 being spaced along the channel strips 12 at intervals of say two feet, and provide a substantial space under the strips 12 so that electric light and telephone conduits or pipes 23 may be positioned in said space.
The wall proper is composed of wall panels 25 which are preferably formed of gypsum board having a cementitious gypsum core material 26 faced on both surfaces with paper cover sheets 2'7. However, fiber board or any other desired type of wall panel may be used in the construction. The bottom edges of the board 25 are supported on the webs of the channel strips 12, and are positioned between the upstandng flanges 13 and upstanding integral lugs 28, which are struck from the metal of the channel strips l2. The upper edges of the wall panels 25 may be secured to the stud flanges 11 by means of attaching clips 29 having opposed integral lugs 30 formed therefrom, and forming opposed channels for the reception of adjoining wall panels. Spring clips 32 may be spot-welded at one end to the clips 29, and the other end of the clips 32 may be provided with channel shaped flanges 33 and 33a for embracing the opposed flanges 11 of the studs. The clips 32 are provided with a resilient loop 34 so that the wall panels 25 are resiliently connected to the stud, thus providing a sound-proof structure and one in which cracks do not form in a layer of plaster 36, which may be applied to the outer face of the wall panels 25 if desired.
The studs 10 are preferably composed of a short channel and a long channel having pressed out pads 12a in their webs to space the webs apart about 5/8 to give clearance for the clip flange 33a between the webs. Spot welding 12b of the webs is done at the pads 12a. The short channel of a stud may extend within 11/2" of one end of the long channel and within 71/2 of the other end of the long channel. The long end of the long channel may be sawed off as much as 6" to suit job conditions. The short channel gives added stiffness necessary for proper sound-proofing results when using the resilient clips. Studs of varying lengths can be supplied when variations greater than 6" are required. If desired Wall panels made of metal lath and plaster may be used, and the metal lath may be wired directly to the studs. i
A metal trim plate 38 is provided adjacent the lower part of the wall structure, said plate having an arcuate inwardly turned upper flange 39, which terminates in a downwardly extending flange 40. The flange 40 is yieldingly pressed flush against the outer face of the wall panel 25 by means of a spring flnger 41, which is formed on a clip 42, the lower end of said clip 42 being provided with an inwardly tapered flange 43, which bears at its lower edge against the clip leg 18. A pair of integral flanges 44 are bent back on the plates 42 in U shaped form so as to embrace the upper edge of the channel flange 13 and form a fulcrum about which the fingers 41 and flanges 43 act to resiliently press the flanges 40 firmly against the face of thevwall panels 25. The lower edge of the trim plates or mop boards 38, is provided with an inwardly extending flange 46 which tapers slightly upwardly, the inward edge of said flange 46 engaging one of the clip legs 18 to ilrmly wedge the bottom of the trim plate between said clip leg 18 and the upwardly extending flange 20 and thus form a neat, rigid, wall structure. Openings 48 are provided in the channel strips 12 at intervals so that leads may be brought upwardly through said openings if desired. Electric conduits 23 have leads 49 attached to electric light plug receptacles 50 which are secured to the inside surface of the metal trim plates 38 by means of screws 51.
In the form of device shown in Fig. 3, a channel shaped clip or plate 53 is shown Afor supporting the bottom ends of steel studs 10 on a floor when no provision is to be made for passage of electric light wires through the partition. In this form of structure, the clip 53 is provided with an upstanding flange 54 on opposite edges thereof, and is provided with upstanding integral lugs 55 which are spaced apart from the corresponding flange 54 so as to retain the bottom edges of the wallboards 25 in position. Upstanding integral lugs 56 are struck from the metal of the clips 53 and are arranged in pairs so as to engage the bottom end of a steel stud 10 in the same manner as lugs 14. Holes 57 are provided in the clips 53 for attachment of the clips to a floor surface by means of nails, screws or the like. The clips 53 are also preferably used to support the upper ends of the studs and wall panels (Fig. 2). For this use, they are attached to a ceiling surface 53a by means of nails 53h. Ornamental moldings 53e may be secured to the ceiling surface at the junction with the vertical walls.
In the form of device shown in Figs. 5, 7 and 8, a U shaped clip 60 of comparatively short length is used for supporting each of the studs 10. The web of the clip 60 is reenforced by means of pressed beads 6l, and said clip has downwardly extending legs 62, on the lower edge of which are outstanding flanges 63 terminating in upstanding flanges 64 having top edges 65 which flare outwardly. The wall panels 25 are received between the legs 62 and flanges 64 so that the bottom edges of the boards are supported directly upon the floor with only the flanges 63 intervening between the bottoms of the boards and the floor. Each of the flanges 63 has an outstanding lug 66 which is provided with an aperture 67a for receiving a nail to attach the clip 60 to the floor. A plate 67 is attached to the web of the clip 60 by spot-welding 68, rivets or the like, and said plate 67 is provided with upstanding integral lugs 70 which are arranged in pairs similar to the arrangement of lugs 14 for engaging the bottom end of a stud 10. The clips 67 also serve to re-enforce the web of the clips 60. If desired, the clips 60 may be in the form of an elongated runner 72, as shown in Fig. 6, in which case the runner will be provided at intervals with apertures 73 for the purpose of permitting electric leads to be brought out through said apertures from the electric conduits enclosed within the runner. After the wallboards 25 are in position, the layer of plaster 36 may be applied to the outer surface of the wallboard, and the bottom of the plaster coating may be finished off with a quarter-round 75 of wood or the like.
I would state in conclusion that while the illustrated examples constitute practical embodiments of my invention, I do not wish to limit myself precisely to these details, since manifestly, the same may be considerably varied without departing from the spirit of the invention as dened in the appended claims.

Chris Cairns' early exit from a lucrative Indian playing contract is set to come under the spotlight after he confirmed last night that British and New Zealand police had joined an International Cricket Council (ICC) investigation into allegations of match-fixing.
After a tumultuous day following the arrest in England of his close friend and lawyer Andrew Fitch-Holland, Cairns said the ICC had been in contact with him. He had also been approached by "representatives from the New Zealand and British police, working together".
Cairns told Fairfax Media that he was shocked at news that London-based Fitch-Holland had been arrested, on Wednesday, by metropolitan police on suspicion of perverting the course of justice in relation to a High Court civil case.
Cairns said he couldn't comment further on that subject.
The circumstances of Cairns' exit from the now defunct Indian Cricket League (ICL) in 2008 was the focus of a highly publicised British high court libel case in 2012 with Cairns winning damages against Indian cricket powerbroker Lalit Modi.
Modi had levelled match fixing accusations against the former Black Caps allrounder on Twitter and through a cricketing website.
Fitch-Holland appeared in the court case and confirmed Cairns' version of events that he was sacked by the ICL Chandigarh Lions team not for match-fixing, but because he failed to disclose an injury.
Cairns captained the Chandigarh Lions, which included former Black Caps team-mates Lou Vincent and Daryl Tuffey. The trio was first linked by international media reports to an ICC match-fixing investigation late last year. Soon after, Vincent and Tuffey publicly said they were co-operating with investigators while Cairns complained he was being "kept in the dark".
However, Cairns confirmed that he has now been approached "at last" and would co-operate with ICC anti-corruption investigators. He said he would take the same approach with British and New Zealand police, adding he expected to be interviewed in the next few days.
He again protested his innocence. "I have nothing to hide. I simply wish to see a fair process that will enable me to clear my name and get on with my life."
During the case, evidence was submitted regarding an important international telephone conversation between Cairns and Fitch-Holland on the night the ICL terminated his playing contract.
Cairns had phoned Fitch-Holland from India seeking advice during a meeting with ICL officials.
Justice Bean's judgment says Fitch-Holland's evidence was that Cairns did not mention any accusations of match-fixing had been made against him during the meeting and had said ICL officials had terminated his contract because he had hidden the true state of his fitness. Cairns had an ankle injury at the time which had been aggravated by a 1000km charity walk.
"He said he thought he was being made an example of, and he wanted my view," Fitch-Holland is recorded as saying in the judgment. "At no stage during the telephone call did Mr Cairns mention or refer to match fixing".
Justice Bean's judgment said he accepted Fitch-Holland's "evidence about the conversation with Mr Cairns immediately after the Shangri-La Hotel meeting".
Justice Bean also noted that Cairns did not raise match-fixing allegations in a discussion the same night with his wife Melanie on why his contract had been terminated.
"Like Mr Fitch-Holland, Mrs Cairns told me that on the night of the Shangri-La Hotel meeting the claimant [Cairns] said that he had been dismissed because of his injury".
Tuffey also provided evidence on Cairns' behalf in the high court case. He provided a witness statement saying he had no reason to suspect that Cairns or any of his Lions team mates were involved in "match fixing or cheating of any kind".
New Zealand Cricket declined to comment yesterday, but would do so when it had received more information.
