	Skipper (butterfly) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The skippers are usually counted as butterflies, but they are somewhat intermediate between the rest of the butterflies and the remaining Lepidoptera, the moths.
		Skippers are classified in the superfamily Hesperioidea, which includes only one family, the Hesperiidae.
		Skippers have the antennae clubs hooked backward, have stocky bodies, and possess stronger wing muscles and better eyes.

		Ludde Ingvall, the skipper of Nicorette, which took line honours in 2000 and finished second last year said he would have preferred a lot more breeze in the Bass Strait in December 27 and 28.
		George Snow, the owner and skipper of Brindabella, the last fully Australian-owned line honours winner back in 1997, said the competitors usually liked "a little bit of a bashing" from the weather, but at least it shaped up as a safe race.

	Adolescent breakfast skipping: an Australian study Adolescence - Find Articles
		In fact, skippers are more likely to eat high-fat snacks and to have higher cholesterol levels than do breakfast consumers (Resnicow, 1991).
		Eating breakfast was one of the "seven healthy habits" identified by Belloc and Breslow (1972) in the Alameda County Study.
		An Australian study of the prevalence of breakfast consumption in Brisbane found that 4% of children (grades 3-7) from low socioeconomic suburbs had not eaten breakfast on the morning of the questionnaire (Collins & Mannion, 1995).

		But Fraser explained that the mind games will not end there, that the Australian players, especially in the warm-up games, "will do as much as they can to wreck your confidence before the Test matches start".
		Indeed, the man whose job it is to have the England players in the right frame of mind, their captain Nasser Hussain, has already worked out which tack he will take from the moment they arrive.
		Writes the skipper: "I do not want to go down the line of telling everybody what a great side they are, and what fine batsmen the Waughs and Gilchrist are.

		The crew were billeted at a vacation style hotel on the beach in North Freemantle, the officers in a facility on the outskirts of Perth, and skipper McCain accommodated at “Lucknow” a cottage reserved for submarine commanding officers recuperating after war patrol.
		The two skipper seated at the stern were singing “Waltzing Matilda”, with a parrot perched on Jack McCain’s shoulder allegedly “liberated” from the Australian army.
		He was a courageous and outstanding skipper beloved by his crew, whose only fault if any on this run was that his energetic luck of the draw did not pay off, an experience shared by most other skippers on some of their own war patrols.

		SYDNEY, July 26: Jubilant Australian newspapers smelled blood in the Ashes series on Tuesday, predicting England captain Michael Vaughan would be undermined and become paceman Glenn McGrath’s “bunny”.
		Under the headline “The captain’s curse”, The Daily Telegraph listed a string of skippers it says were demoralised by rampant Australian teams.
		Justin Langer, the gritty Australian opening batsman, believes the stranglehold established by McGrath and Shane Warne at Lord’s will be too strong for England’s batsmen to break in the remainder of the series.

		These two skippers are the only ones from the northern hemisphere who have pulled it off so far, but at least they have shown that it can be done.
		Britain's Rob Greenhalgh leads the field after two races and, as the top ranked skipper in the world, is nominally the hardest man to beat.
		Then there are a number of young Australian skippers like Michael Coxon and Hugh Stodart who have the skills to sail their 18 footers very fast, and the intuition to handle the difficult breezes referred to above, despite lacking the depth of experience of the likes of Trevor and John.

	The Telegraph - Calcutta
		Sydney: Ricky Ponting said on Monday that Brian Lara’s 400 not out will likely never be beaten by an Australian because few skippers would jeopardise a winning position by allowing one player to bat for so long.
		Lara’s quadruple century for the West Indies against England last week in Antigua — the first in Test history — eclipsed Australian Matthew Hayden’s former world mark of 380 and took nearly 13 hours to complete.
		Their whole first innings might have been geared around one individual performance and they could have let a Test match slip because of it.
