World Match leader board tightens as three times Gold Cup winner exits
by Yanmar Racing Media on 7 Oct 2011
Canfield v Gilmour - Argo Group Gold Cup - World Match Racing Tour 2011 PPL Photo Agency - copyright
Four times ISAF World Match Racing Champion Peter Gilmour, whose YANMAR Racing Team is currently fourth on the 2011 World Match Racing Tour leader board, crashed out of the Argo Group Gold Cup in Hamilton Bermuda today.
Four of the big teams - Torvar Mirsky (AUS), Gilmour, Johnie Berntsson (SWE) and Phil Robertson (NZL) were all in one of the three round robin groups. Four teams were locked together; one was going home, two would go through to the quarter finals and one would have to fight through the repecharge.
Mirsky lifted his game, the 2010 WMRT runner up winning all three of his matches to pull himself into top spot, his last win at the cost of Peter Gilmour (AUS) and his YANMAR Racing crew, who had to win the match to survive and go into the repechage.
Gilmour, the three-time Gold Cup winner said 'It was an important day today and we had to do a lot of winning and we didn't. Our races were against Berntsson, Robertson and Mirsky.
'We started well. In the first match we were about 10 boat lengths in front of Johnie Berntsson but we received an unexpected penalty because the boundary mark had drifted out of place. That seemed fairly tough but in the end we were unable to convince the jury so we were one down.
'We beat Phil Robertson, who has been continuing his good form, and then Torvar did us over. Overall we feel we are sailing well, just without any luck at this event.
'Certainly we are very pleased with our new tactician Simon Shaw, who is now with us as Cameron Dunn is heading off in the Volvo Ocean Race fleet. And we are very much looking forward to the Monsoon Cup. in Malaysia.
'We will receive average points from the (cancelled) Denmark event. Our average event placing has been 4.25 and as Francesco Bruni had selected not to sail in Denmark, we are better placed on the WMRT leader board as a result.
'So when that score is added, the board tightens up, so we are still in the hunt.
'Just who has a chance of winning the Tour hinges on the next few days; if the winner of this event is Ian Williams, then he will take a good lead into the Monsoon Cup. If not, the title could still be wide open so the next few days are going to be both exciting and critical.'
Gilmour continued. 'While we are out, we have enjoyed this regatta.
'There is a unique element to this event; previously the seeded skippers, 16 teams, used to do double round robins and eight used to go against seeds. Now three groups of eights do round robins.
'This means we get to talk to and race against many more of the young teams. To see sailors like Taylor Canfield having a red hot go is wonderful. There is some impressive new talent in this group, they are fearless and they certainly represent the future.
'Tour CEO Jim O'Toole did a presentation for 2012 to potential Tour card holders and there was a huge amount of interest from young sailors; there are opportunities for them.'

World Bulletin / News Desk
Libya closed its air space over Benghazi airport temporarily because of heavy anti-aircraft fire aiming at U.S. reconnaissance drones flying over the city, days after the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed in an attack.
The closure of the airport prompted speculation that the United States was deploying special forces in preparation for an attack against the suspects who were involved in the attack.
A Libyan official said the spy planes flew over the embassy compound and the city, taking photos and inspecting locations of groups who are alleged to have planned and staged the attack on the U.S. consulate on Tuesday.
Fighters used anti-aircraft guns to fire at the drones, forcing the authorities to shut the airport because they feared for the safety of passenger planes.
"Two American drones flew over Benghazi last night with knowledge of the Libyan authorities," Deputy Interior Minister, Wanis al-Sharif told Reuters. "They were visible to the eye, and came under attack by anti-aircraft weapons used by armed militias."
"For this reason, Benghazi security decided to close down the Benghazi airport airspace. Any decision to allow an operation of any sort on Libya soil will be made in coordination with the congress and the new government."
Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the other Americans died after gunmen attacked the lightly fortified U.S. consulate and a safe house refuge in Benghazi on Tuesday night. The attack, which U.S. officials believe could have been planned in advance, emerged from a protest blaming America for a film they said insulted the Prophet Mohammad.
Ali al-Shaikhi, spokesman for the Army Chief of Staff said Western allied forces, who helped Libyan rebels to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi last year, continued to fly planes and drones over Libyan airspace to help Libya keep its skies safe.
He said that they had increased flights in the past few days due to the worsening security situation.
"News came out that there were American drones in the air and so the airport received threats from unknown groups that they would attack any American planes circling over Benghazi. This led the airport to take the decision to close the airspace to take precautions."
The U.S. military was moving two destroyers toward the coast of the North African state, giving the Obama administration flexibility for any future action against threats, the officials said.
But a member of the Libyan national assembly told Reuters: "The Americans may have spoken to our President or Chief of Staff to coordinate an attack on the radical groups in Benghazi but they have not approached us as a Congress (assembly) yet."
"I believe that so far we as Libyans can take care of the operation ourselves because the militias feel they are part of Libyan society, but if we have Americans come in with an operation then these militias will also turn on us," he
"For sure we will need the Americans for their logistical and technical support and expertise, and we will ask them for it when the time comes. But for now we need to try to do it ourselves."
Airport manager Taba Mohammed said the closure ran for about 10 hours from 0030 GMT. U.S. officials said earlier a Marine Corps anti-terrorist squad was being sent into Libya to shore up security.
"We have now reopened the air space. It was closed for routine security checks," Mohammed told Reuters.
Turkish Airlines said the closure of Benghazi air space had forced one of its flights with 121 people aboard to turn back to Istanbul on Friday.

Helpful Definition for: Mortgages
Mortgages are loans which are given by lenders to pay for the purchase of real estate property, and have a specific time period and rate of interest for the payment. The borrowers, who are known as the 'mortgagors', give the lenders, also known as the 'mortgagees', a legal asset as a security against the loan. In Massapequa Park, the borrowers may get mortgages either from financial establishments like banks directly, or from individuals who act as mediators between the bank and the borrower.
Mortgages in Massapequa Park vary, depending on two main categories: the time period of the loan and the interest rate of the loan. Mortgages may be for 15 or 30 years, as per the time period in Massapequa Park. Based on the interest rates, the mortgages are either fixed or variable.

From Yemen to Indiana, then to see the goat man
Monday, 08-October-2007
Tim Evans
- Farmer witnesses traditions the world over as immigrants flock to slaughter their own meat
HAZELWOOD, Ind. -- The sun is just beginning to peek over the horizon, but a crowd has already gathered at Tom Prince's farm.
It's an international group; a half-dozen languages echo in Prince's metal-sided barn as a man kneels over a bleating goat and says a brief Muslim prayer, then cuts the animal's throat with a swift slash using a long, sharp knife.
It's hard to imagine a more unlikely scene -- in Indiana or just about anywhere else in the U.S. -- than the early morning gatherings that take place here.
Since 1999, Prince has operated a self-service slaughterhouse 20 miles west of Indianapolis, specializing in providing goat meat to the area's growing international community.
His card reads "You Buy -- You Kill -- You Dress -- You Take Home," and business is booming.
The 80-year-old Prince holds court inside the spotless facility from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Friday and Saturday, selling about 50 goats each weekend. In the weeks before Muslim and other religious holidays, sales often double.
Prince speaks in a slow Southern drawl. It's decidedly domestic compared to the array of languages spoken by customers who have made their way to Central Indiana from Morocco, Yemen, Nigeria, Eritrea, Togo, Kenya, Pakistan, Mexico and other places around the globe where goat is a dietary staple.
"I never thought I'd know so many people from different countries," said Prince, who developed his taste for goat -- often said to taste like a sweet mix of beef and pork -- as a child in rural Tennessee during the Depression.
In the past few years, goat meat has become available in a growing number of grocery stores and specialty markets. But Prince's business continues to grow -- even though he doesn't advertise or have a Web site -- thanks to word of mouth.
The attraction for many is the freshness of the meat and the low price. Prince sells goats for $1.40 a pound based on their live weight, and a 70-pound goat will provide about 35 pounds of meat -- so the meat costs customers an average of about $2.80 a pound, or $98.
For some, butchering their own meat helps maintain a link to cultures they've left behind.
Still others, including the large number of Muslims who buy from Prince, prefer to kill and butcher the animals themselves to ensure food preparation standards of their faith are followed.
Prince said he doesn't know a lot about Islam, but he is savvy enough as a businessman to make sure his operation meets their needs -- including situating the killing table so it faces east, toward Mecca.
Muslim customers like Ahmed Awad, 37, Indianapolis, say they appreciate the nod to their faith. A native of Yemen, Awad has been coming to the slaughterhouse about once a month for the past year to buy meat for his family.
"You can buy goat a lot of places," he explained, "but I want to kill it myself."
Prince raised and sold goats for years, but he didn't open the slaughterhouse until after he ran into trouble with state and local authorities.
"When I moved out here in 1969, I bought four or five goats just for myself," he said. "Then an African fellow came out and asked me if I'd sell him some. I sold him two and he said he'd be back next week for two more, and that's what really got me started."
In those days, Prince let customers butcher the animals in an old corncrib next to his barn. But as more people came to buy goats, the increasing activity -- along with the odd mix of visitors it attracted -- led to complaints.
"A government inspector drove up one day and told me I couldn't kill any more goats here," he said.
So Prince quit selling his goats, but former customers and others who heard about the "goat man" kept calling. The requests prompted him to get back into business and do it right, building a do-it-yourself slaughterhouse that complied with state health and sanitation standards.
"It's interesting learning how people from the different cultures prepare and use all the parts of a goat," said John Hadley, 44, a middle school janitor who lives nearby and is one of five part-time employees who help out at the slaughterhouse on Saturdays.
He said many African customers like to eat the heads, while Mexicans often keep the stomach to make soup.
Some skin the goat carcasses, while others burn off the hair with a propane torch or over a fire smoldering behind the slaughterhouse.
Either way, the customers who come out clearly aren't ready to embrace all of the new ways of their adopted home.
"We get a lot of fathers out here teaching their sons things they learned from their fathers and grandfathers," said Hadley. "It's really neat to see all these people keeping their . . . cultural traditions alive."

UN envoy: Participants' consensus on bringing peace makes solution possible
Monday, 25-April-2016
The UN envoy to Yemen confirmed on Monday that the consensus of the participants in Yemeni peace talks held in Kuwait on bringing peace makes reaching a solution possible.
"There is no doubt that there are significant differences in views, but the consensus of the participants to bring peace makes it possible to reach a solution," the UN envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed said in a statement issued after the talks session Monday.
"There are only two options; either to continue the war or to consult and make concessions in order to achieve peace and all parties should assume responsibility for their decisions," the UN envoy added.

Monday, 25-April-2016
The national delegation in Kuwait met on Monday with ambassadors of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and the European Union (EU).
The meeting reviewed the conduct of the consultations over the past days and the reasons for the lack of progress in the negotiations, topped by the non-compliance of Saudi Arabia to the ceasefire.
At the meeting, the national delegation stressed that the consolidation of the cease-fire is the key factor for the success of the ongoing negotiations in Kuwait.
The delegation pointed out that the continuation of war and aggression and the other party's disavowal from his responsibilities was the reason for delaying the arrival of the delegation members to Kuwait.
The national delegation demanded pressure toward the success of the negotiations through the implementation of the first item, confirming its keenness on the success of the political process based on consensus and not exclusion.

In the presence of UN envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, the talks continued to discuss the cessation of hostilities, in addition to review the general framework of the talks.
In the session, the UN envoy suggested to issue a statement supporting the ceasefire, which was accepted by the national committee. However, the Riyadh delegation rejected the proposal.

UN-sponsored peace talks kick off in Kuwait
Friday, 22-April-2016
Ansarullah official spokesman has said that the desired solution must be inclusive dealing with all issues.
"We do not want a piecemeal a partial solution. We want a comprehensive solution includes all issues to go to sound solutions," Mohamed Abdulsalam said in the opening session of the peace talks kicked off in Kuwait on Thursday.
He expressed reservations about the continuation of the airstrikes and the five points, which he said "were not clear either in their sequences or content."
He said that they held a dialogue with Saudi Arabia to make Kuwait talks successful, stressing that they will deal positively to come out with an obvious solution leads to partnership.
The talks was supposed to start three days ago, but the national delegation refused to leave Sana'a on time.
Abdulsalam said that the delay was because of the war that has not ceased. "The reasons for the delay are the continued air raids [on Yemen] and the ambiguity in the talks' agenda."
He appreciated the role played by Kuwait and the facilities they offered to succeed the talks.
Head of the General People Congress (GPC) delegation confirmed that the GPC is keen on the path of peace and dialogue as it does in 2011.

Thursday, 21-April-2016
A delegation consisting of representatives of the General People's Congress (GPC) and Ansarullah headed on Wednesday to Kuwait to partake in the dialogue called for by the United Nations.
In a statement to media before departing Sana'a International Airport, the official spokesman for Ansarullah Mohamed Abdulsalam said the delegation's first purpose is the success of the dialogue, despite the continuing bombing and blockade.
" We are going to Kuwait to prove to the public opinion, the Yemeni people and the army and popular committees everywhere that we are keen on achieving the security and stability," Abdulsalm said.
He confirmed attending the dialogue, despite the reservation, which came in the delegation's letter to the UN envoy, about halting the military acts and about the ambiguity in the UN agenda.

Adventurer dies in Arctic
A Londoner has died during an expedition in Greenland.
A Londoner has died during an expedition in Greenland.
The family of the 30 year old London man who died during an expedition in Greenland have paid tribute to him on Facebook.
"FROM THE FAMILY: We wanted to let everyone know that on Sunday morning we had a phone call to confirm that Philip sadly died. To our son, brother and friend, we are so glad that you were on your adventure and expedition that you had wanted to do for so long._
"You will be unbelievably missed and your memory cherished. xx"_
Philip Gooeve-Docker had described the 550-600km trek as "one of the great polar challenges."
Delay your journey until after 7pm, says the AA.
One of the victims, a 52-year-old man, was hit so hard his heart stopped beating.
Twins Laviai and Lina Nielson were so inspired by volunteering at London 2012, that their ambition ever since has been to compete at Rio.

Lucky Voice Karaoke
Looking for karaoke in London? Head to Lucky Voice and rent a private karaoke room. Fill it with you, your mates, a few beers and lots of loud out of tune singing!

I cannot wait to come back here for karaoke! My friend and I popped in for a cocktail (random I know) on a weekday and there was no one in the bar area when we arrived. Although it was very quiet and a bit awkward, the bar staff are really friendly and were quick at making our drinks. They also provided us with a mug of popcorn to munch - noice. We were probably only there for 45 minutes -...more
Lucky Voice is a good Karaoke bar, I have been here a few times when Tristan J organised a UYE. It was a great laugh. I love karaoke but am a terrible singer. Luckily I found that in the group if we knew the song, it is fine to just join in and sing without the mic. This was great for me as I am so shy. The location is great as its off Oxford Street. I would come again as a karaoke night is...more
Dressing up box? Check A huge selection of song? Check Fruity, fun cocktails? Check
Basically, if you're looking to get a little bit tipsy and sing your heart out to all the classics and the more cheesy, current pop songs this is the place to do it. Each private room is big enough to allow throw some shapes a la Beyonce while you're letting your inner pop star run wild.more
Knockout karaoke bar. I love this place. The range of songs and track listing is fabulous and each booth is fabulous. Shooters and cocktails are well done and themed for your night of fun and drama. The lighting decor and props make it so worthwhile. If you try other booth venues they will never match up.
It is expensive but soon worth it. I recommend going on a Sunday or Monday if you work in...more
I am a huge fan of Lucky Voice because I'm not a huge fan of karaoke generally. We go with some friends and get a room with just us. That's the attraction. Have a few drinks with my friends and make a fool of myself? Sure. Make a fool of myself in front of a huge crowd? No thanks.
The only down-side is that it's a bit pricey. With 6 or 7 of us, we end up paying about £50 each for the night...more

A woman who invested almost $700,000 with the now-defunct Brown's Tax Service in Soddy Daisy said she was talked into signing up for an annuity plan that would not mature until she was 115 years ago.
Margie Y. Elliot also said that Jack Brown induced her to make numerous withdrawals from the annuity even though there were large penalties and tax losses each time that she did not know about.
She filed suit in Chancery Court against Jason and Kimberly Brown, Ellen Brown, Angie W. Wilson, Soddy Daisy Money Express, ABC Daycare and Learning Center, Compumed Billing, Community National Bank and North American Company for Life and Health Insurance.
Chancellor Jeff Atherton signed an order to show cause and ordered the defendants to appear before him on Sept. 4 and show why there should not be an accounting of Ms. Elliot's funds.
The suit notes that Jack and Janet Brown cannot be sued because they have filed for bankruptcy. It says they and other defendants were part of a Ponzi scheme that took large amounts of money from a host of individuals - including many in the Soddy Daisy area where the Browns were located.
Ms. Elliot said the Browns prepared her taxes and learned that she had over $700,000 in investments.
Though she was already 68, she was talked into purchasing an annuity for $697,788.87 even though it would not mature until 2057.
The penalty for withdrawal was 18 percent the first two years, 17 percent the third year, 15 percent the fourth through seventh year, 14 percent the eighth year, 12 percent the ninth year, 10 percent the 10th year, eight percent the 11th year, six percent the 12th year, four percent the 13th year and two percent the 14th year.
The suit says that type annuity with high early withdrawal penalties "is the type of annuity that earns the highest commission to the agent of North American that is selling the policy."
It says, "There was no need for an annuity that was 47 years to mature because in 47 years she would be 115 years old were she to live that long and she knows of no one that has lived to the age of 115."
The suit says Ms. Eliot was talked into making withdrawals of $37,500, $37,500 and $41,176 to invest with Jack Brown. She had penalties of $7,500 each time as well as tax liabilities.
It says funds from investors were diverted to Brown officials, including Jason Brown, son of Jack and Janet Brown. The suit says he was paid $52,000 in salary, a housing allowance of $26,400 and bonuses as much as $385,500.
The suit says Community National Bank knew of the Brown operations, but "the bank deliberately ignored the Brown Ponzi scheme because the account was generating fees, the Browns had individual or joint accounts with the bank, which increased their deposits and that allowed the bank to loan more money based on its higher deposits."
It says the insurance company called Jack Brown to ask about an annuity policy stretching until the holder was 115 years old, but did not call Ms. Elliot to ask her why.
The complaint says Ellen Brown and Angie W. Wilson worked in the office and were also in on the Ponzi scheme. It says Ellen Brown is a sister-in-law of Jack Brown and Angie W. Wilson is the niece of one of the Browns.
The suit was filed by attorneys Owen Maddux, Jerry Tidwell and W. Adam Izell.

Memes give kids power
Relevant offers
Students who taunt their teachers by posting offensive pictures on Facebook may feel empowered by their actions.
That's the expert opinion of clinical psychologist Carrie Barber, who said high school meme pages could be seen as a power struggle.
"It could also be seen in terms of power relationships - they may gain some sense of power by this kind of indirect aggression, and also belonging - the students form a group, against the authority figures."
Dr Barber was referring to a number of meme pages that students have created on Facebook to post funny, and often offensive, comments about their school, staff and other students.
Most Hamilton secondary schools have a dedicated meme page.
As reported in the Waikato Times yesterday, Hamilton Girls' High School's page was shut down on Wednesday, after principal Mary Ann Baxter threatened disciplinary action. However, a new meme page was started even before that was shut down.
One of the new pictures made fun of the school's attempts to have the initial page removed, saying: "So, you tried to take away freedom of speech. Please, tell me how that worked out."
Ms Baxter said some of the pictures on the original page directed at teachers were abusive.
However, Dr Barber said it was a "tricky balance" between the students' right to freedom of expression and the teachers' right not to be publicly ridiculed.
While this sort of rebellion among youth was nothing new, she said the internet, and social media websites such as Facebook, had magnified the impact of rude and abusive behaviour.
"If it was a group of kids hanging out after school, talking about teachers and making jokes, maybe even rude ones or imitating teachers in some mocking way, it would probably not be causing a stir. It is the fact that it becomes widespread and public that gives it power."
Dr Barber, a senior psychology lecturer and director of clinical training at Waikato University, said students' capacity for making judgements, containing impulses and recognising the impact of their actions were still developing.
These "executive functions" continued to develop into the mid-20s.
She called for more education around social media and the importance of "thinking before you post".
Secondary Schools' Association president Patrick Walsh supported Ms Baxter's action against the meme page.
"Unfortunately cyberspace has become a bit of a Wild West for students and they've been able to act with impunity - say what they like without any thought or repercussions."
However, Waikato Times readers on Facebook said the meme pages were "a bit of a laugh" and examples of free speech.

As school districts across the state brace for budget cuts and layoffs, the Senate Education Committee this morning (Monday) will take up a bill to increase the Base Student Allocation – that's the amount paid to districts for each student enrolled.
The Senate Majority coalition of Republicans and Democrats considers increased school operating funds a session priority, while Gov. Sean Parnell's budget proposes flat funding at $5,680 per student. Senate Bill 171 would add $390 in three increments over the next three fiscal years: $125 per student this July, $130 in 2013, and $135 per student in 2014.
The Senate Education Committee held the first hearing on SB 171 on Friday. The Alaska Council of School Administrators said districts actually need a $320 increase in the BSA just to keep pace with current programs, and even then many districts will have to lay off staff.
But Senate President Gary Stevens said the Senate has to be realistic. He said a higher amount would not get past the House and Gov. Parnell.
"I don't want to hear how this is not enough because I don't think that takes us forward. I want to hear how this helps and how we can get the support of the other body and the administration to do what this bill says," Stevens said.
Juneau Harborview Elementary School fourth grader Sierra Wood told the committee she was in a class of 27 students.
"In my classroom I see kids who need lots of help. If my school had more money we could have more classrooms so students could have more time with teachers. The best way to learn is to spend more time with the teacher because then you can feel more confident," she said.
In the House, a bill just introduced would inflation-proof education funding. HB 143 would require the administration to increase the Base Student Allocation by at least the annual rise in the Anchorage Consumer Price Index. Anchorage Democrat Rep. Pete Peterson's bill would provide an additional $187.52 for each student.
"And that's just the minimum that is needed just to keep up with last year's inflation," Peterson said.
According to the Senate Education Committee, Alaska ranks 22nd among states in the amount it spends on education.
Senate Education Committee Co-chairman Kevin Meyer hopes SB 171 bill can be through the legislative process by mid-March, when districts must wrap up their budgets. School districts annually complete their spending plans long before they know the amount of state funding, which makes up about 60 percent of local district revenue. This morning's hearing on SB 171 begins at 8 o'clock in room 105 of the state capitol (Beltz Room).
Meanwhile, the Juneau School Board holds another public hearing Tuesday on next year's proposed budget. The district is facing a $5.8 million shortfall and could cut 69 positions, with at least 7 percent from the certified teaching staff and 10 percent from support staff.
The board also wants written testimony, which can be emailed to email@example.com.
Tuesday's school board hearing starts at 6:00 p.m. in the Juneau-Douglas High School library.
