It was the fi fth defeat for the Al An- nabi, who now languish at the bottom of the six-team group on just four points from seven matches, and even the prospect of fi nishing third in the group now appear remote. Jorge Fossati’s side were hoping for a miracle after a 1-0 defeat to Iran last week in Doha had left them with the near-impossible task of having to win their next four matches in order to challenge the top guns in the group.

I asked him to write a piece about the prospects, written just before the recent ATP Finals when Mike Venus had qualified for the doubles with Ryan Harrison. Since then Michael and Ryan have surprised many. They were seeded 8th, but reached the semi-finals, winning all 3 of their group matches before bowing out to the top seeds. A great effort, not to mention how handy the US$200.000 they share will be. They also won 600 ranking points each to assist them being seeded in tournaments next year. The overall winners were Henri Kontinen & John Peers. To show how close the men’s doubles teams are, Michael and Ryan beat them in the round robin section 6-4 7-6.

The proposed ordinance further prohibits off-site transfer of such fill. Background Currently, Section 33-16 of the Code defines which lake excavation based on location and type are subject to or are exempt from a public hearing in order to obtain approval, but the prohibition on transferring the fill off-site is not in the Code. Properties that do not require a public hearing go through an Administrative Site Review to obtain approval to excavate, contingent on the fill not being transferred. The proposed resolution codifies the prohibition of transferring the fill. Under the current regulations, a property owner west of the salt barrier line that wants to obtain approval to excavate a pond can do so subject to an Administrative Site Plan Review with the condition that the fill not be transferred.
