Irish Stud Files Legal Action Against Tinkler | BloodHorse.com

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum?s Kildangan Stud in Ireland has started legal proceedings in Australia against billionaire coal tycoon and Thoroughbred owner Nathan Tinkler, whose empire looks to be collapsing.

Kildangan Stud?s action against Tinkler, filed in a New South Wales court, is understood to stem from alleged unpaid stud fees, the Irish Times reports.

Tinkler, who has invested quite heavily in racehorses and breeding stock, owns Patinack Farm in New South Wales. Since 2007, he has spent more than $300-million (Australian) to build a Thoroughbred empire. He reportedly owns more than 1,300 horses, including 2012 Beck Caulfield Guineas (Aus-I) winner All Too Hard. Patinack Farm recently announced plans to sell hundreds its horses and shutter its Melbourne stable to reduce costs.

In the latest of legal actions against Tinkler, Australia?s deputy tax commissioner has begun preparing a case against his holding company as unpaid bills continue to accrue.

On Nov. 21, a federal court in Australia ordered that Patinack Farm be liquidated, but a co-director of the Patinack Farm Administration, alongside Tinkler, pledged financial support to allow PFA to continue to trade and pay its creditors in full, the Melbourne Herald-Sun reports.

Tinkler?s primary asset, a near 20% stake in Whitehaven Coal, Australia?s largest independent coal company, lost nearly half of its value this year as the coal price has plummeted. His multibillion dollar attempt to take over that company fell apart in August after he failed to secure financing.

Kildangan Stud in County Kildare, is part of Sheikh Mohammed?s global Darley operation.

Dolphins Cycling Challenge raises $2.2 million for fight against cancer

The Dolphins Cycling Challenge has more than doubled its contribution to the fight against cancer for the second year in a row.

The $2.2 million check presented to the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center before Sunday?s Dolphins-Seahawks game at Sun Life Stadium was 100 percent of the funds raised by more than 2,000 cyclists that participated in the third running of the charity event on Nov. 3-4.

It was the largest single-event donation by a NFL team, according to the Dolphins.

The cycling challenge was inspired by former Dolphin Jim Mandich, who was battling bile duct cancer when the event debuted two years ago and died in April 2011. The fund-raising effort raised $533,000 in the inaugural ride, $1.07 million in 2011 and is on track to double that this year.

"The money raised by the DCC will directly help to save lives in South Florida,? said Mandich?s son Michael, CEO of the challenge. ?Having experienced the devastation that cancer can wield it is great to know that we can rely on a first class Cancer Center in our own backyard.
Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center will use these funds for research in the pursuit of finding a cure and without all of the dedicated riders, sponsors and volunteers this would not be possible.?

Sylvester is recognized as one of the top cancer research institutions in the country. It is on the cutting edge in finding a cure for cancer and developing new treatments for its patients. With the donation, the more than 250 doctors and scientists at Sylvester can continue to conduct research and expand cancer treatment in South Florida.

Sylvester handles approximately 1,300 inpatient admissions, performs approximately 2,500 surgical procedures, and treats more than 4,400 new cancer patients annually with locations in Miami, Deerfield Beach, Plantation and Kendall. All Sylvester physicians are on the faculty of the Miller School of Medicine, South Florida?s only academic medical center.

?The DCC is a wonderful gift to our community,? said University of Miami President Donna E. Shalala. ?The Miami Dolphins are true champions in the fight against cancer, and we thank them for their partnership and extraordinary dedication to the people of South Florida.?

Additional sponsors of the charity event included Amgen, Breakaway from Cancer, Mack Cycle, South Florida Ford, Sun Life Financial, Publix, Alex?s Place, Giant Bicycles, Berkowitz Pollack Brant, Harcourt M & Virginia W Sylvester Foundation, Stearns Weaver, Lennar and WFOR-CBS4.

Currency Trading ? The Financial Giant! | ArticleBro.com

currency trading occurs in the largest financial market. It has been recorded that $2 trillion USD are traded daily. The trading of currencies is sometimes referred to as foreign exchange. All currencies have a value compared to other currencies of other countries all over the world. These currency values sometimes change. The reasons for this changing in the value can be that they are changed due to the flow of International business or because of economic and political news.

The trading of currencies is very risky. You need to have a plan for your trading with foreign currencies. If the companies of the United States start importing a large
number of merchandise manufactured in Europe then they will need to trade USDs in Euros to purchase the
products. If this is done in a large quantity in a short time, then it increases the claim for Euros and the
value of Euros rises. The reason for this is because US Dollars are being sold while the USA is buying Euros. Currencies are exchanged by retail investors, corporations, and financial institutes.

Currency is basically thought of as money. One country?s value differs from one country to another.
Currency can be thought of as a certain currency such as Euros, USD, British Pounds, etc. convert currenciesis the process of transforming one country?s currency into
another country?s currency. It is based on the rates of the exchange whether or not a person will receive
more or less value after the conversion. You can find out if you will obtain less or more money by looking
at the exchange rate of the country?s currency currently. When you travel to other countries you can bring
along your own money, but it is most likely that you will have to switch your money into the currency that
is used in the country that you are traveling to.

Currency is usually found in coins or notes. Coins are usually made of metal and are shaped in the shape
of a circle. Examples of coins are one penny, one pound, a penny, etc. Notes or currency in the form of
paper are used for high amount such as $100. Currency is very important for a country to survive. If the
currency is strong, then the economy is doing well and if it is weak, then the economy will thrive. This is
why a country should keep checks and balances to see where they are going wrong. If they take the right
measures, then the country will be able to do well and the currency will have credibility in the trade
market. So currency trading should be given importance to in every single country!

Online Shoppers Not Replacing In-Store Buyers | News - Indiana ...

Black Friday shoppers get a start on holiday shopping at a Best Buy.

Though online shopping has increased, it has not taken the place of in-store holiday shopping.

Over the past several years internet holiday sales have increased. Economist Kyle Anderson says there has been a shift toward online shopping, but it?s not reducing the number of Black Friday?s in-store shoppers. One of the reasons people still buy products in-store, he says, is customers realize they could end up paying more online because of shipping costs.

?A lot of times online retailers will say it?s offset by shipping,? he says. ?So it?s kind of, well I don?t pay the 7 percent sales tax, but I do pay shipping costs which might be that much or more and so it all kind of washes out.?

Hoosiers do not pay online sales tax, providing an incentive to buy online. But Best Buy General Manager Joe Marcoux says he still expects his store to see eight to 10 times more business than a normal Friday.

?There?s a new Wii gaming system that launched this week on Sunday, flat panel TV?s are still great because the prices are so good,? he says. ?Everything?s going to be hot. The tablet and computing category for us is the big category right now. Mobile phones are exploding with the launch of Windows 8 as well, so if it?s a tablet, if it?s a computer, if it?s a gaming system or a flat panel TV it?s going to sell well.?

And when it comes to pricing, Anderson says customers should remember that local retailers also pay for shipping, but i is already built into the shelf price.

Relatives of people dying suddenly from heart problems have ...

Relatives of young people who have died suddenly from a heart-related problem are at greatly increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease according to a study published online November 13 in the European Heart Journal [1].

The authors of the study say these findings have two major implications; firstly, they strongly support the fact that autopsies should always be performed in cases of young sudden unexplained death; and secondly, since the involved diseases are all treatable if identified in time, the findings suggest that close relatives of these victims should be screened to detect those who would benefit from preventive treatment.

Researchers identified 470 victims of sudden cardiac death (SCD), aged between 1-35, in Denmark between 2000-2006 and followed their first and second-degree relatives for up to 11 years. They found that relatives who were younger than 35 had a three-fold increased risk of any cardiovascular disease (CVD), a six-fold increased risk of ischaemic heart disease (reduced blood supply to the heart) and a more than 10-fold increased risk of cardiomyopathies (damaged or weakened heart muscle) and ventricular arrhythmias (potentially fatal disturbances in the rhythm of the heartbeat) when compared to the general population.

For young, first-degree relatives of SCD victims, the risks were even higher: a six-fold increase in ischaemic heart disease and a 20-fold increase in cardiomyopathy and ventricular arrhythmia.

Dr Mattis Flyvholm Ranthe (MD), a PhD student and research fellow at the Department of Epidemiology Research, Statens Serum Institut, Copenhagen, Denmark, who is the first author of the report published today, said: ?The most interesting findings were that risk of CVD overall was increased no matter what subgroups of SCD victims and relatives we examined, and that young (under 35 years) first-degree relatives overall had a four-fold increase in risk of any CVD, and nearly 20-fold increases in risk of cardiomyopathy and ventricular arrhythmia. Finding a risk factor associated with a four-fold or greater increase in CVD risk is rare!?

SCD is defined as sudden, unexpected death due to natural unknown or cardiac causes, with an acute change in cardiovascular status within one hour of death or, in unwitnessed cases, in a person last seen functioning normally within 24 hours of being found dead. In young people it is often caused by undiagnosed heart problems that may be hereditary, indicating that there may be genetic mutations involved in the condition.

Dr Ranthe said: ?If sudden cardiac death has genetic causes then this would suggest that relatives of young SCD victims are at greater risk of heart disease than the general population and would benefit from screening to identify those at risk so that they could be given appropriate preventive treatment. This could save a significant number of lives. However, as far as we are aware, there have been no population-based findings of this kind before, and current knowledge is limited and based on smaller descriptive studies.

?Our results show SCD, or the underlying heart problems, has a large hereditary component, and that relatives, particularly young, first-degree relatives, are at much greater risk of developing heart conditions compared with the general population. Family members of young SCD victims should be offered comprehensive and systematic screening, with the focus on the youngest and nearest relatives.

?Most of the cardiovascular diseases leading to sudden cardiac death are treatable, if diagnosed in time, before a fatal event. Our results reinforce the concept of screening as a rational ?tool? to identify such cardiovascular diseases in family members at risk, and thereby possibly prevent future sudden cardiac deaths. However, our findings do not suggest blanket screening of, for example, asymptomatic second-degree relatives of SCD victims, although cascade screening might trigger screening of more distant relatives after a CVD finding in a first-degree relative.?

An autopsy was performed in 67% (314) of the SCDs, and the autopsies confirmed a heart-related cause of death in 178 cases, with 136 remaining unexplained. Dr Ranthe said that conducting autopsies in such circumstances was important because having the cause of death correctly identified was vital information for the relatives, and also for guiding screening initiatives.

?Our study, along with findings from previous descriptive studies, suggests that screening in relatives of SCD victims should be driven by the suspected cause of death, based on autopsy findings and description of the circumstances leading up to the SCD. We would like to emphasise the importance of autopsy in guiding such screening initiatives; public awareness of the importance of autopsying all young SCD victims should be increased. Ideally, these autopsies would be carried out by pathologists trained in post-mortem cardiac examination.?

The findings on arrhythmia were also new and important, said Dr Ranthe. ?Previous studies of familial aspects of arrhythmia have primarily been centred around families with very severe arrhythmic syndromes. Our finding of dramatically increased general risks of ventricular arrhythmia is therefore novel and shows that the findings from heavily affected families are relevant on a broader scale and possibly just the tip of the iceberg.?

Future work by Dr Ranthe and his colleagues at the Statens Serum Institut will focus on examining familial clustering of cardiovascular disease in new large-scale register-based studies. Their co-authors at The Heart Centre, Unit for Inherited Cardiac Diseases, Copenhagen University Hospital (Rigshospitalet) are investigating SCDs in persons older than 35 years. They will be looking at survival and disease courses in the relatives of SCD victims and examining specific subtypes of SCD more closely; those remaining unexplained after autopsy are of particular interest.

Gluck opera shines despite tenor's voice loss

VIENNA (AP) ? Two tenors in the same role at the same time ? what could have been a recipe for disaster turned instead into a delightful operatic performance of Christoph Willibald Gluck's "Alceste," with Joseph Kaiser's sudden voice loss leading to a bit of successful improvisation.

The audience groaned at the announcement that the Canadian tenor was not fit to sing Thursday and applauded only dutifully when told that Charles Workman would be singing from the orchestra pit with Kaiser acting out the role of Admete on stage But it worked.

A Gluck veteran, Workman had some initial trouble finding his way to upper registers but quickly settled into the role of the king of antiquity who is saved from his deathbed only by the sacrifice of his wife who agrees to die in his place. His voice was warm and supple, and after a while the irritation of seeing Kaiser but hearing Workman was erased by the high overall quality of the evening.

Much of that was due to Veronique Gens as Alceste, the heroic queen who decides that life without her husband is not worth living. Though not huge, her voice is pliant and lyrical, with ample range to depict the heroine's despair. She looked good too, and her acting was superb, equal in every way to Kaiser's dramatics ? even with his non-singing advantage on this particular evening.

But the greatest star was not on the stage. Under Ivor Bolton, the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra wove a musical tapestry that intertwined perfectly with the voices above the pit. The French horns that took the audience to the gates of Hell as Alceste prepares to leave this world were menacing. The delicate violin work underpinning the most intimate moments of the two lovers tugged at the heart strings.

Also good: Adam Plachetka as Hercule, the half-god who helps wrest Alceste from the underworld and back into the arms of Admete, and Clemens Unterreiner as the high priest ? in this version a scowling, white-collared clergyman who instills the fear of God in anyone he glares at.

Ileana Tonca, Juliette Mars, Benjamin Bruns and Alessio Arduini were well-placed in supporting roles, as was the Gustav Mahler Choir, in an opera chock full of delightful ensemble singing highlights.

Director Christoph Loy opted for a sere staging on a near-empty stage with much of the action only hinted at behind huge sliding doors all but hiding Admete's death bed or opening up for a glimpse of Hades. Olaf Winter's lighting underpinned the starkly clashing themes of life, death, joy and mourning of a family Loy transported from antiquity into a bourgeois 19th-century setting.

Gluck was a pioneer in transforming opera into the form best known today, and Alceste flopped when this version was first performed in Paris in 1776, prompting him to defiantly proclaim that if it was too far ahead of its time, "it will please in 200 years."

He was right on Thursday.
