Skandia Cowes Week Day six news round-upThe Black Groups (excluding Class 0 to 3) The blustery conditions today certainly favoured the outstanding performer of Class 4 IRC, the Harry Evans chartered Alvine Jacobite who pulled into the lead straight after the start and led Jim Macgregor's Flair IV down to the first mark off the Hill Head shoreline. Alvine Jacobite used her 48 foot overall length to great effect around a course just shy of 18 miles and recorded her fifth straight win of the regatta and looks certain for the overall class crown. However at the top of the Black Group standings going into the final two days of racing is the Class 5 IRC leader Winsome of Harry Heijst who again scored a victory today to take his tally for the regatta to five race wins. Heijst has been the class act of the fleet as he warms up for next week's RORC Round Britain and Ireland Race and has brought this well-prepared Sparkman & Stephens designed one-off to the regatta in tip-top condition with a superb crew. read more.

Canny thieves make a mint out of scrap metalAt about 4.30 every morning, the residents of one west London street are woken by a man raiding the skip outside a renovation site. He is searching for any scrap metal he can find - from the copper in old wiring to lead piping. Salvaging metal from building sites has become a competitive business. Everyday Nick, whose job is to lay lead on roofs, picks up about £15 worth in lead scrap, which he takes to a local merchant. There, he and fellow workers turn in any metal they find - in one case an old copper pan - just for the scrap value. . read more. Racing: Eden Rock will be hard to beat in Mile featureA top mile handicapper can be a jewel in any stable, as is illustrated by the latest of the many big-money races over this trip available to horses of this calibre, the totesport Mile at Goodwood. The winner will earn 93,480 but will have had to work hard for the money. Winning one of these races is difficult enough, but winning two or more is very demanding, yet there is plenty of money being wagered that Sir Gerard and Dunelight, having won big handicaps, will do it again. Sir Gerard lifted the Brittania Stakes at Royal Ascot, beating Free Air, who was receiving 1lb, by two lengths. Dunelight took the London Clubs International at Ascot last month, also beating Free Air, who was receiving 1lb, by five lengths. Logic has it, then, that if one of these two is to make it a double, Dunelight should be the one. read more.

Jackie O's estate benefits from local artistIt was around two oclock in the morning. Missouri Southern State University alumnus T. Crowe (Terry) Semler was having problems with the thesis he was writing for his master's degree at the University of Arkansas. Earlier in the day he had heard one student say to another "If you google yourself and don't find anything, you're really nothing." TERRY SEMLER He thought about the comment for a moment. Then he went back to work on the thesis and typed on, but, after awhile, he knew he needed a break. Normally, he would have worked on one of his many paintings or other art projects to clear his head. But this time, for the first time in his life, he went online and typed his own name in the Google Internet search engine. "I hit enter," he says," and immediately up pops an article saying that Sotheby's has had a sale of the estate of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and it has brought in over $5 million dollars." He scrolled down and came across this paragraph from the New York Times: "Mary Lou Boone of San Marino, Calif., was in New York visiting with her daughter and felt impelled to have something from the historic era to pass along. read more.
