Curious George
'I want world domination,' says George Calombaris.

There's a lot more to George Calombaris than MasterChef. Like his plan for "global domination". He speaks frankly with Dani Valent.
George Calombaris has a few things on his mind. Like opening a restaurant in Kew, and one in Sydney, and another in Athens. And maybe a Greek deli, if the numbers stack up. He's thinking about his role as judge on Celebrity MasterChef, on air in October, followed by a new MasterChef series for the not-yet-famous. And there are meetings with Channel 10 sponsor Coles to develop supermarket meals: a marinade for boil-in-the-bag pork, something with West Australian truffles.
Then there's the odd night working the stoves in his Melbourne restaurants, the Press Club and Hellenic Republic. "I don't go in there and slice onions: that would be ridiculous," he says. "Some people think that to be an amazing chef you need to touch the chervil, slice the onion. Well, I don't do what I do to stand there and slice onions. But, at the same time, it's good for the guys to see me in there, to see that I'm still in touch with my food."
Also on the to-do list is a refurb of the Press Club - new kitchen, new uniforms, new entrance ("with a sexy girl and guy greeting people"), and a signature scent designed by swank Greek skincare specialist Korres. "People love those little elements," he says. "The biggest comment we get now is from girls who go to the toilet and love the moisturiser. You could put a dog turd on the plate and they'd still talk about the hand cream."
Aside from work, Calombaris is due a date night with his girlfriend, his weekly tennis lesson is coming up ("my forehand topspin is looking amazing, I'm whipping them in") and he's getting up early tomorrow to watch his Greek soccer team Panathinaikos on the telly. Whichever way you slice, dice and sauce it, Calombaris's plate is full. Still, he doesn't give himself permission to be tired. "It's my dad," he says. "He hates the word tired. He doesn't believe in it. He says you're here to live, you're going to be a long time dead, so just do it." So George Calombaris - 30-year-old Greek cook, Hellenic hero, Mulgrave man - is doing it.
He's still calibrating the success of MasterChef, the reality TV show that got Australia talking about croquembouche and cravats. Suddenly, Calombaris became recognisable everywhere - even the Vatican, where he was bailed up by Aussie tourists. His fame has driven him from the internet. "I've banned myself from blogs and forums," he says. "It was doing my head in." (Comments on the MasterChef forums roam from "I've got a crush on George, soooo cute!" to "mumblemouth!" to "He annoyed me when he was saying 'yeah' non-stop and shovelling food down his mouth".) He admits to a dummy spit when a journalist harped on about his knife-licking tendencies and he recoiled when a fan asked for a photograph with him and asked him to hold her breast. "It was funny but mental," he says. "Are you kidding me, this chubby little cook?"
But mostly the fall-out is fantastic. "I went to a primary school in Narre Warren and we had mystery boxes and the kids had to tell us what they'd cook," he says. "This is how the eight-year-olds are talking now: 'I'd take the brown onion, I'd finely slice it, I'd caramelise it off with a bit of olive oil, I'd put some eggs through it and make a little caramelised onion tart.' Another one says, 'I'd take the strawberries, hollow them out, take the jelly and infuse that with the mint, and fill these strawberries with jelly so when you put them in your mouth you get a texture explosion.' That is so cool, I was going to give him a job."
Calombaris loves the fact that butchers are sourcing pigs' heads, dads are baking scones and homewares shops are selling out of pasta machines. "To be part of that - wow." He'd also love it if there was a trickle-up effect into his restaurant. "Hopefully, when families come into my restaurant, they're not going to say, 'I'm only having an entree', 'I don't want my lamb pink', the usual bullshit."
Calombaris prefers making stock to taking stock but he concedes that the past five years have been huge. In 2004, he was 25 and a chef on the rise. He'd blitzed his apprenticeship at the Sofitel, distinguished himself in international cooking competitions, risen through the ranks at fine diner Fenix, and landed as chef de cuisine at Reserve, the Federation Square restaurant that fielded booking requests from as far away as New York. The 2004 Age Good Food Guide anointed Calombaris Young Chef of the Year for his famously audacious food: Reserve's geek gastronomy included dishes such as duck with coffee pannacotta, mussels with strawberry sauce and wasabi-stuffed chocolate truffle. Some of it even tasted good. Off duty, Calombaris married Anita, who he'd met on a skiing holiday. They posed for wedding photos in the restaurant and bought a dream home in Berwick.
From the outside, it all looked picture book. But behind the scenes, Calombaris was struggling. Reserve received a lot of critical attention, but things weren't great financially. Calombaris stuck with his ship until she sank in early 2005. "It was a real kick in the pants for me, a sore point in my life," he says. "I didn't own the restaurant but I still felt I had failed." Things with his wife weren't great either. "Anita is a beautiful girl, a good girl, but she wanted a man that was home at five o'clock," says Calombaris. "I don't think she ever knew who I was, and I started to not believe in who I was, I started pretending I was something else." Part of that meant distancing himself from his parents. "That was very wrong of me," he says. "My parents have been amazing supporters and I disowned them, didn't spend much time with them." Berwick wasn't him. "I never wanted to live out there," he says. "It was about making other people happy, I forgot about making myself happy."
As troubled as the relationship was, Anita was crucial to Calombaris's success: she hooked him up with the businessmen who bankroll him. Anita works at manufacturing company Apex Steel, where her boss is Joe Calleja. "Anita was always talking about her boyfriend, bringing in newspaper clippings about him," says Calleja. "When he won the young chef award, I took notice. I thought he must be better than just some cook." Calleja met Calombaris. "He had a great personality - I'd seen other young chefs on Foxtel and George had just as much charisma - and I thought, why don't we do a restaurant together? I'm a frustrated wog that likes to have something on the side and it just sort of happened." Calleja's partner on the purse strings, Tony Lachimea, came on board too. A lot of chefs would like to have something "just sort of happen" with a steel company that turns over $200 million a year. "I'm lucky," admits Calombaris.
He was also approached by hospitality veteran George Sykiotis, who was developing the Press Club site on Flinders Street. "I chased him around," says Sykiotis. "I loved the idea of a Greek restaurant." The two Greek boys got together to cook up a potential menu. "If he was doing Reserve food, I wouldn't have been interested, it was a fad, but he said he wanted to cook from the heart, from the soul." Calombaris declared himself - and his home town - over the "fluffy food" he'd been playing with at Reserve; instead he came up with approachable but fun interpretations of Hellenic dishes: mastic lamb neck, baklava souffle, calamari carbonara. "It absolutely blew my mind apart," says Sykiotis. "I told him we were going to kill it."
The Press Club opened in October 2006 and hasn't had a quiet night since. But Calombaris had tough times after he broke up with Anita in early 2007. "Their split caused a shitload of worry for me," says Joe Calleja. "We'd just opened the business, she wasn't happy, they wanted to kill each other." But Calombaris didn't feel he had a choice.
"I suddenly woke up and realised it was wrong. It was a terrible time, the hardest thing I've ever gone through," he says. "It was like a bad mix of flavours. Sometimes a dish goes together and the chemistry's not right. That's what it was like: even though there was love, it wasn't synching." Anita still works for Apex. "She's moved on, she's been professional about it," says Calleja. "But we're not allowed to talk about him here, or put MasterChef on." (Anita chose not to be interviewed for this story.)
The split was devastating for Calombaris but also a relief as he bounced back into the bosom of family and eased back into himself. "My sister, my best mate, they all said to me, 'We've got George back.' My dad says, 'Get up, life goes on, we don't need to see tears.' My mum is out buying me sheets and towels." Business has powered on.
Last year, the Calombaris-Sykiotis-Calleja-Lachimea conglomerate opened Maha Bar and Grill (with Shane Delia) in the city and Hellenic Republic in Brunswick. Calombaris is also a consultant for the Belvedere Club, a luxury hotel restaurant on Mykonos, Greece. He's left the 'burbs for a one-bedroom flat in East Melbourne - "it's so me" - shared with his girlfriend of two years, marketing agency owner Natalie Tricarico. The couple plans to move to North Fitzroy next year. "She's beautiful, understanding, supportive," says Calombaris. "She's a career woman, doing her thing, and I respect that. She also respects me. Never has she said to me, 'Why aren't you home?', put that pressure on me."
Tricarico went through a marriage and divorce in similar fashion to Calombaris and both think this similarity helped them forge a strong bond. "We understood each other, we understood what we wanted in the next phase, there was no bullshit," says Tricarico. "Neither of us regret what we did and, though we never dreamed we would be divorcees, you grow and mature. We did make commitments for life, and life is a very long time. Now, though, in my relationship with George, I see that life is life. We can see ourselves growing old together." She's watched as her boyfriend has moved from industry identity to celeb chef.
"His life has changed, but he really hasn't," she says. "He's an amazingly grounded person. He has all this stuff in his head but he still manages to shut all that off, be where he is and then, later, turn it all back on." Calombaris socialises with family and old friends, plays as much tennis as he can, and on rare days at home, cooks while Tricarico plays kitchenhand. "He does amazing Thai food," she says. "We go to Victoria Street on a Sunday morning, get all the lemongrass and chilli, and he'll cook up the kind of meal he doesn't get a chance to cook in his restaurants." Tricarico doesn't see her man doing much zoning out. "I can sit by a pool and read a book; he'll sit by the pool and write a new menu. After MasterChef, I told him he needed to have a break but it's what he loves to do and that's what makes him so successful."
So what drives Calombaris? "I love thinking of concepts and I've always been into food," he says. That's backed up by his mother, Mary who recalls that he ate mud and worms in the garden and, aged three, stuffed a nut in his nose. The family lived in Mulgrave, near the school. "Every lunchtime, he would call out, 'Mum! Mum!' and I would look from the kitchen window and see him standing at the school fence with half a dozen mates," says Mary Calombaris. "He'd ask if I was baking any cakes and if I could bring them over."
Food and business entwined in high school, when Calombaris operated a shopping service for a few boys at his Catholic boys' school, Mazenod College. "We used to give him our lunch money and he'd be the first out of the classroom to buy our lunch from the canteen. The deal was that he got our change," says old friend Greig Davie. Calombaris was clear that he wanted to be a chef from an early age. "He was very driven, he never wavered," says Davie.
His parents weren't exactly encouraging. "I hoped he didn't want to become a cook - the hours! - but I could sense he was going into that field," says Mary, who ran a supermarket with her husband, Jim, until he returned to his original career as mechanical engineer.
When George was 16, they even invited a restaurateur friend to come and discourage their youngest son.
Calombaris listened to the horror stories about late nights and bad conditions, then asked for a weekend job. After a couple of difficult pot-washing shifts, Mary begged her son to rethink. "He comes with his fingers waterlogged and I said to him, 'Go in an office, get a tie and a suit.' He said, 'Mum, I tell you one thing: everyone starts at the bottom of the ladder and I'm going to climb that ladder. I'll prove it to you.' A 16-year-old talking like an adult! You can't argue with him."
Calombaris attributes at least some of his determination to his father's two bouts with bowel cancer, when George was six and again when he was 16. "The second time was very emotional for me, a really tough time," he says. "It was a big point in my life and those bumps motivate you not to take life for granted." Even today, Calombaris thinks back on his dad's illness. "I reflect on walking into the Alfred Hospital with him to get his chemotherapy and I think, why would I whinge about scales on the salmon or a staff member calling in sick? It drives me to always think positive."
Calombaris finished school (famously scoring 17 out of 99.95 for his VCE), then started an apprenticeship at the Sofitel under Raymond Capaldi and Gary Mehigan, now also a MasterChef judge. "He was a very single-minded young lad," says Mehigan. "He always had his head down, he always said 'yes'. His gumption, his gusto, you can tell when someone's got it." Every night, Jim and Mary Calombaris drove into the city to pick up their son. "A lot of mums and dads would say to me, 'Little Johnny is really tired, I'm concerned he's working too hard,'" recalls Mehigan. "Jim and Mary had a different attitude. They said, 'If he's not working hard enough, give us a call.'"
His protege's work rate and attitude have continued to impress Mehigan. "The failure of Reserve could have been crushing to another person but he thought about what's important to him and kept going." Working with his former employee on MasterChef was pleasing. "He did a dish on the show, sweetbreads with parmesan crumble, a progression of the kind of dish we did at Fenix five years ago," says Mehigan. "Well, that's fine. He can do all that fancy stuff. But I'm more impressed when George puts lamb shanks with yoghurt and honey and thyme and bungs it in the oven. He's done all the training to complicate everything and there he is doing simple food beautifully. That strikes me more than anything."
Hundreds of chefs were invited to audition for MasterChef. Calombaris was no television newbie, having been a regular on daytime cooking show Ready Steady Cook but he always hankered for a bit of prime-time action. Even so, he wasn't like some other chefs, quitting their jobs to rest premature hopes on MasterChef. "I had my restaurants, life was good, I wasn't nervous or worried," he says. "I just thought it would be cool, and I think that's what got me the gig, I was just George being George." He didn't suspect that the show was going to capture Australia in the way it did (a record-breaking 4.11 million viewers tuned in to watch the final on July 19). "They're telling us we've created history. I was feeling a bit naive, a bit cheffy, but definitely proud."
Calombaris says he didn't get emotionally attached to the contestants - "they're gonna go, I'm gonna go, I was careful" - but he couldn't help being swept up by the human drama. When the judges booted Justine off, "I look at Gary and he's tearing up, then I look at Matt and he starts getting teary, well, I could feel myself tearing up too." Nothing beat the final for feeling, though. "When I saw (winner) Julie's face when her family rocked up, to see her love for her family, that was amazing," he says. Calombaris has kept in touch with some contestants. "Justine, Julie, Andre, they can call me when they need a hand," he says. He employed Aaron at Hellenic Republic until recently. "He made Greek salad for three months but he couldn't stick it out. I think his aspirations are a bit past his capabilities. I think you need to boil an egg before you fry it."
The MasterChef juggernaut was a boost for Calombaris's confidence. "I'm starting to speak better, being around Gary and Matt, the English scholars," he says, tongue not quite in cheek. But he's glad the show isn't the be-all and end-all. "After MasterChef, I didn't want to do radio, I didn't want to go on Rove, I wanted to go back to my restaurants for a couple of months. MasterChef is a freckle in the big picture of my life." His favourite project is still delivering diners restaurants they love. "I want world domination," he says, with a steely glint.
Joe Calleja, the 50-something entrepreneur, is a pillar. "Joe is like a big dad for me," says Calombaris. "He's got so much experience." That he's a hospitality outsider is an advantage. "He thinks our industry is bullshit, very amateur; we take a lot from his corporate mentality."
So, unusually for the restaurant world, his staff undertake performance reviews and staff meetings ensure the workforce is informed about future plans. So far, the restaurant group is growing like a beanstalk, from 26 to 130 staff in three years. George Sykiotis is important too. "He isn't emotional like I am," says Calombaris. "I'll get excited about a plate or a knife or a Greek deli. He goes away and does the numbers. If it doesn't stack up, it's not going to happen."
Making money isn't, apparently, the main motivation. "I was approached by one of the largest promoters of rave parties throughout the world: they wanted me to do a menu for VIP guests. No way am I going to be known as the druggie chef, I don't care how big the dollar signs are. I'm in this to make money but not pull my pants down."
The Press Club is Calombaris's baby but Hellenic Republic is the restaurant he hopes to take to the world. "It's a beautiful concept, I call it people's food," says Calombaris of his rollicking taverna. "I can roll out Hellenic Republic's white tarama anywhere in the world but I can't replicate a Press Club dish like olive oil cous cous cooked in liquid nitrogen." Hellenic Republic is all about high-volume consistency, feeding perfectly grilled fish to 300 people a night, and Calombaris gives his head chef Travis McAuley credit for codifying every dish in a manual. "You could put a plumber in Hellenic, put a chef's jacket on him and show him the book. 'Go ahead, you make it.' It's all structures."
Calombaris sees himself as director of a company; he's not rostered on to cook in his restaurants. Even so, he's present when he's in town, even if that means sitting with his back to the wall, keeping an eye on things. "I work on top of my business, not in my business. I might not be cooking, but if I'm eating in my restaurant, I might call up the next day and say to the guys, 'The tarama was perfect, the chips were beautiful but I don't like the waiters having their shirts untucked and I went into the toilets at 9pm and there was paper on the floor.'"
Over conversation at the Press Club, while liveried waitresses make tiny adjustments to tables set for lunch, he talks about a recent brainwave at a seafood restaurant on Mykonos. "We sat right on the water, at a table amongst all these pebbles on the ground. I took my thongs off and rubbed my feet on the ground. I felt so relaxed, so comfortable. I sneaked my notebook out and wrote 'ROCKS.'" The resulting Press Club dish - it's on the current menu - has pebbles in a wooden dish with raw fish and marinades alongside. "The idea is that you play with the rocks, while you dip the fish into these little sauces. For me, this is awesome, I really get off on it," he says, intense, beaming, shining in the moment. "That's what it's all about."

Circadian Rhythm Disorders
Circadian rhythm disorders are disruptions in a person's circadian rhythm -- a name given to the "internal body clock" that regulates the (approximately) 24-hour cycle of biological processes in animals and plants. The term circadian comes from Latin words that literally mean around the day.
Circadian rhythms are important in determining human sleeping patterns. When your body clock gets off schedule, certain problems may develop that affect sleep.
What Causes Circadian Rhythm Disorders?
Circadian rhythm disorders can be caused by many factors, including:
* Shift work
* Pregnancy
* Time zone changes
* Medications
* Changes in routine
Common Circadian Rhythm Disorders
Jet Lag or Rapid Time Zone Change Syndrome: Seen in people who travel across time zones, symptoms include excessive sleepiness and a lack of daytime alertness.
* Shift Work Sleep Disorder: This sleep disorder affects people who frequently rotate shifts or work at night
* Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS): People with DSPS tend to fall asleep late and, as a result, have difficulty waking up in time for work, school, or social engagements.
* Advanced Sleep Phase Syndrome: People with this condition tend to fall asleep early in the evening and wake up earlier than desired in the morning.
* Non 24-Hour Sleep Wake Disorder: Non 24-hour sleep wake disorder is a condition in which an individual has a normal sleep pattern but lives in a 25-hour day. Throughout time the person's sleep cycle will be affected by inconsistent insomnia that occurs at different times each night. People will sometimes fall asleep at a later time and wake up later, and sometimes fall asleep at an earlier time and wake up earlier.

This advantage is clear as day to me. If Alston is going to pull up for a three, just put a hand up. But don't leave him open on a kick-out.
We must absolutely make the most of the mismatch. Miller should take Alston down the blocks often. I can imagine him getting to the line a lot in this series.
I think it's a draw with each having an advantage at the offensive end. Alston is so much quicker than Miller. If he continues to beat Miller off the dribble, he doesn't have to score -- he just needs to kick it to the open 3-pointer, of which Orlando has many. Dribble penetration has been a huge problem for the Sixers all year.
I realize it's anecdotal evidence, but I just went through the game logs and Alston has historically done nothing against Miller and the Sixers, whereas, Miller has performed pretty well.
I think dribble penetration is less of an issue when we're talking about a guy who is not a good shooter and is not a good finisher on the drive. All quick, small guards don't give the Sixers problems, the quick small guards who also happen to be good do. I see this matchup as a huge advantage for the Sixers, if they choose to exploit it.
I agree with Tom. If the sixers don't start covering their guys on the 3pt line, it is going to be a long series for us.
The point about dribble penetration is key.
But wil Millr even be guarding Alston? Doesn't Green guard the PG and Miller cover the SG?
That's my understanding as well. Sure, Miller won't be able to keep up with Alston, but I expect Green to be the one tracking Alston anyway. And when Lou is in, Lou and Alston can run each other off the park.
Hey, news this morning, KG is out for the playoffs! Maybe the Bulls knew this and tanked yesterday. Now I'm kinda upset we didn't get to stick at the 7
I'm with Tom here. I think it's more of a wash. Alston, to his credit, doesn't seem to take a whole lot of threes -- at least this season anyway -- unless he's on a hot streak or it's a blowout and he wants to practice. And I think we can give Gundy enough credit to bark something fierce in Rafer's ear should he keep hoisting 3s when they're obviously not falling. Alston's main skill, drive and kick, suits the Magic perfectly and that's why they got him. Most guards have a hard time keeping up with him, much less flat-footed Miller; Alston's going to penetrate basically at will.
These guys are the same height, but Miller's got more trunk junk so he can back Alston down in the post without too much trouble. Two things about that: 1) Orlando's help defense might thwart that advantage often enough and/or 2) If Andre is in the post a lot, it'll mean Philly's playin the half-court offense a lot and that, at present, is not their forte.
Green may start on Alston, but Miller will likely switch over to him later in the first quarter. DiLeo had Green on a number of points at the outset in the regular season.
The Magic depends on the 3 - the sixers defend the 3 for crap
Oh yeah - they have a big man who can play offense and is the DPOY
You can go player by player - but it's probably going to come down to what it always comes down to with the sixers
3 point 'differential'
defensive rebounding
FT shooting
Well at least they miss their FT's too.
Overall, Boston without KG is a much better match-up. I don't think they could handle a healthy Thad with anyone on their roster.
Boston is still the better team, but overall would have been a more favorable match-up.
I don't think so
Miller loses the 'point guard match up'
Allen and Pierce are still good and get the calls in the playoffs
they have a better and deeper bench even without the 'great' posey and brown
and their starting center would still be better than ours.
The sixers wouldn't beat either team in my opinion - they just aren't 'close' to being a contender - and a solid first round thrashing might be the best thing to wake the front office up from any delusions of 'closeness' they might have
No, as I've said before, you will just hear them blowing smoke about Brand returning and Iguodala and Lou working on their jumpers this summer.
Combine that with a bad coaching hire and i'll be done with stefanski
Nothing I hate watching more than the guaranteed first-round loss. Especially now that the first round goes seven games! If the matchups in the West weren't so entertaining (albeit meaningless this year), they would be wise to just skip the first round altogether and go to 8 playoff teams.
few years ago golden state made the playoffs and everyone thought they were 'meaningless'
Spurs could be upset without Manu - Bulls are the hottest team in the league and a bad match up for the celtics without KG
Based on the 'inevitability' theory of this years playoffs they really should skip everything but the finals and just have the lakers and cavs play 3 7 game series - best 2 of 3 - plus they'd get hella better ratings.
Of course the Spurs could be upset. All the first-round series are tossups out there, except for LA's. I'm just saying that it doesn't matter who wins them, because LA will come out on top. I mean, who cares about Houston v. Portland (other than that it'll be a fun series to watch and will ruin T-Mac's reputation if Yao makes it out the first round without him), it's ultimately immaterial to anything. Out here, Cleveland seems to have clearly separated itself from Boston, and Orlando isn't what it was earlier in the season, but there's a small chance they won't make it out of the East.
i don't believe the lakers are fait accompli just because they are the #1 seed - if they get portland in the second round and get over confident - they'll lose - the lakers are pitiful in portland over the past 3 or 4 seasons - no ideas why - they just are.
I also see other possible upsets, as early as the first round, not likely, but possible.
Last year the celtics were 'destined' for the finals but then had a questionable first round and everyone doubted them...
There are probably some givens in the first round - but the second round could have more 'upsets' than you think -
See, I hate upsets. Who wants to see Portland beat LA and deprive us of a matchup of the two best teams in the league? Then we'll never know who the best team in the league really was this year. That's the whole point of the Finals. It's not about Cinderellas and magical storybook rides, or whatever the stupid cliche is. It's a process of determining the true #1, not the team that got hot in the playoffs, or the team that profited off better teams' overconfidence. That's why the NBA is better than the NFL or MLB, because the best team almost always wins (maybe not the year Wade won) and you really get to find out which team that is. Upsets pose a threat to that.
If you hate upsets then you should hate the playoffs - just give the title to the best team in each conference and have them play 3 7 game series to make sure it's not an upset
The playoffs don't determine the best team - that's not their purpose in my mind - it's to spur fan interest and allow someone to be called 'champion' but it's not always the best team (Giants over Pats) - if you don't like upsets you don't like playoffs in general then - and the playoffs were not created for a fan like you (in my mind) - playoffs were created to spark interest - that's why they're expanded - not for competition but for revenue.
Keep in mind that the nba recently went from 5 to 7 games in the first round - and many believe to cut back on the number of first round upsets.
I love upsets - they make the playoffs more interesting
This is the 3rd easiest advantage in my book. The first two being the ridiculous advantages Orlando has at the 5 and the 2. The Sixers clearly have the advantage. If the Magic still had Jameer, I think many Sixer fans would argue for Miller, but I don't think I would be one after the season Jameer was having.
Yeah, few players can match up with William Green. he is a force of nature that can't be accounted for.
BTW, bummed out by the miracle roto comeback...
It was a close one. I ended up finishing 2nd and 4th in my other 2 leagues, so I'm happy I took home to W in one. I, unexpectedly, caught someone in points and that really was the difference.
Also, you were 2 steals away from a tie and 5 more threes from a win. So really close.
I look forward to facing you again next season. I was a roto newb this year, so next year I won't make as many mistakes. :)
Congrats, you made a few good moves down the stretch that really paid off.
Overall, hope we can have a somewhat smaller but more active league next year. Too many people mailed it in.
9 people-ish were pretty active. That isn't bad. I expected worse.
Iguodala today on what gives him confidence that the Sixers can win the series vs. Orlando: "That I'm out there. I feel like when I'm out there, we have a chance to win, no matter what."
What should he have said... Thad is back, so at least we have one guy who can score?
Searing comments out of Marc Steinin his playoff preview of the east:
"What I like: I love seeing the Sixers back in their old '80s uniforms, taking me back to my early teens every time they're on the TV.
What I don't like: Everything else."
There are some things you have to like, for example Young's play and Iggy's defense.

Betsy A. Colburn is an aquatic ecologist based at the Harvard Forest in Petersham, where she conducts research on headwater streams and vernal pools, and works on conservation-related issues. Her book, "Vernal Pools: Natural History and Conservation," provides a comprehensive overview of seasonal woodland ponds that provide important breeding habitat for frogs, salamanders, and a host of invertebrate species in eastern North America.
Following undergraduate studies in biology at Brown University and Occidental College, Betsy decided to focus on freshwater ecology. Her graduate research at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, examined effects of power-plant construction on snails in Wisconsin River floodplain wetlands (M.S.), and aquatic insects, adaptations to saline desert springs and streams in Death Valley, CA (PhD). In 1983, after teaching at Williams College for 4 years, she joined the scientific staff of the Massachusetts Audubon Society, where for 18 years she was responsible for research, education, and advocacy on groundwater, acid rain, water quality, wetlands protection, and related issues. This work included presenting workshops and writing manuals to help local officials implement environmental regulations, including: "Landfills and Groundwater Protection;" "Basic Hydrologic Calculations for Conservation Commissions;" and "Understanding and Administering the MA Wetlands Protection Act."
Betsy has experienced the challenges of implementing environmental laws as a member of local regulatory boards and as the owner of farmland. She continues her research on relationships between aquatic habitats, land use, and freshwater life, and she remains committed to public education and outreach directed toward appreciation and conservation of water resources.

Colon Cleaner Hot Sauce Review
Tags: colon cleaner, hot sauce, review, Scotch Bonnet
Ah yes, the joy that is the cleverly named hot sauce. In contrast to some of the more crass, middle school named hot sauces out there, Colon Cleaner Hot Sauce actually made me laugh. It has the look of a classic vaudevillian elixir – the kind sold out of the back of a'41 Chevy. It's got a kindly looking old man on it and somewhere in that bottle is a pretty decent hot sauce, even if it doesn't live up to its namesake's claim.
The goal of these hot sauces is ironically to call in the few who are looking for something so powerful they can barely stay standing, their bowels turned to jelly. Professor Phardtpounder's Colon Cleaner Hot Sauce is not one of those sauces. It's a relatively medium level hot sauce with the kind of kick you would want from a table hot sauce. There are no eyedroppers for application or "dilute first" notices on this sauce. Continue Reading

EduTF Report Highlights Curriculum Project
By Holly Marie Koltz | May 16th, 2008 | Filed in Curriculum, Education, Education TF, WaSP Announcement
The WaSP Education Task Force (EduTF) report updates our activity, announces new members, and offers a report on a Web standards based Curriculum Project.Skip to comment form
In the past year, the EduTF has been quieter than previous years. We have gone through a few changes, though our mission remains the same.
The WaSP Education Task Force was created in 2005 to work directly with institutions of higher education to help raise awareness of Web standards and accessibility among instructors, administrators, and Web development teams.
Our mission is not a small one. Our work and message needs to reach beyond our reading audience and the Web standards community in order to get information, help, and resources to more people. EduTF is discussing and looking at a variety of ways in which we can help.
To help with our mission, EduTF has added new members, including: Aarron Walter, Gareth Rushgrove, Lars Gunther, Jeffrey Brown, Kathy Keller, Christopher Schmitt, and Virginia DeBolt. Each member has experience with education and a strong passion for improving education in the area of Web standards and technologies.
One task the EduTF has been working on is the publication of the EduTF Survey results. We are reviewing the final draft of the publication and hope to share this information very soon.
The survey results have been very helpful in highlighting key needs, challenges and issues within the educational community and these will be addressed by the EduTF and also through our Curriculum Project.
The Curriculum Project will be a resource that could be used by those in education, as well as, anyone needing to update knowledge on Web related technologies.
Aarron Walter is leading our Curriculum Project and has this informative report to share:
The quality of Web design and development education in our schools is perhaps the most significant barrier preventing the world-wide adoption of Web standards. The EduTF has been hard at work this year developing a curriculum to address this issue. Our goal is to create a curriculum that is modular allowing courses to be selectively integrated into existing programs that need updating, or adopted entirely to serve as the foundation for new Web design and development programs in colleges, universities, and high schools around the world.
This is a big project. We've sought guidance from talented educators already teaching standards, and top industry professionals who have helped us identify the tools and topics each course should include. The EduTF is teaming up with Chris Mills of Opera who is leading an initiative to create a broad series of detailed articles that teach basic principles of front end development. These articles will be integrated into a number of courses to provide educators and students with practical references and a solid foundation in Web standards.
The curriculum will be released in stages, the first of which will include a core set of courses that address foundation topics such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, accessibility, information architecture, usability, and the history of the Web. In subsequent releases, courses will be added that address more advanced topics, and specific tools popular in the industry.
Each course will contain a collection of tools for educators including:
- A course overview
- Recommended course dependencies indicating what students will need to know before beginning each course
- Learning competencies describing what students must master in order to receive a passing grade
- Assignment recommendations and test questions that allow educators to measure a student's mastery of each competency
- Recommended readings from Chris Mills' article series on Web standards and other reputable sources
We hope to release the curriculum in March of 2009 in an online format that will make it easy for educators to access and contribute back to the project. We view it as a living system which will be greatly enhanced by community contributions.
It's a very big undertaking, but one that we believe could make a significant impact not only on the quality of Web design and development education offered in our schools, but also on the adoption rate of Web standards. If you're an educator with pedagogical materials or ideas to share, please join the mailing list and our IRC channel to become part of the conversation. We welcome your support and inputs as we proceed with the development of the WaSP Web standards curriculum.

The end of slavery on St Helena came in stages.The importation of slaves was made illegal in 1792, and in 1818 it was declared that all children born of slaves after Christmas Day that year were to be born free.Slavery as such came to an end in 1832, when the East India Company began the process of emancipating the island's slaves.Regards,Alexander----- Original Message -----From: Nancy-Jo NunezSent: Wednesday, August 11, 2010 6:49 AMSubject: [St.H.Fam.Hist. ] Question: When did slavery end on St. Helena?Hi all,

Four months out, still happy! - New Orleans, LA

Feds swoop in on law offices in Mission
Published 2:09 am, Thursday, December 13, 2012
At least two Mission police officers have been arrested alongside other local law enforcement officers in a federal corruption probe focusing on drug loads stolen from the criminals they had been tasked with taking down, law enforcement sources told the Monitor newspaper of McAllen.
Jonathan Treviño, son of Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Treviño, and Alexis Espinoza, son of Hidalgo Police Chief Rudy Espinoza, were taken into federal custody Wednesday evening, law enforcement sources confirmed to reporter Jared Taylor of the Monitor.
Federal agents executed a search warrant at the Mission Police Department, searching narcotics investigators' files late Wednesday, sources said.
News Channel
Details of the federal investigation remained unclear. No federal court filings detailing search or arrest warrants nor arrests had been filed late Wednesday in U.S. District Court in McAllen.
Several attempts to reach Sheriff Treviño, Mission Police Chief Martin Garza and Espinoza, the Hidalgo chief, were unsuccessful.
Spokespersons for the FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement declined to comment.
"I can't confirm or deny anything," FBI spokesman Erik Vasys said.

The day every web developer has dreamed of is coming soon. Microsoft has launched a website showing the countdown of people who use Internet Explorer 6. The website talks about the history of Internet Explorer and the fact it is 10 years old now and the usage around the world at the moment. It also integrates social media sites and tells you to educate others about the new versions of Internet Explorer, with a handy link on the site to allow the visitor to download the new version.
Many websites are already warning about using older browsers on the web, due to security and attacks that can occur against you and recommend you upgrade, sites such as Facebook and CNET are among the main, though most web developers will try and add a upgrade snippet to their websites.

Just a few thoughts before I go:
"I thought he played an intelligent game, a high energy game,� said Shanahan, who began the night as Avery's linemate. "You could hear the other teams chirping at him, but he's a very skilled player. He's excited about the game. He's into it. He's definitely a gamer.�
Renney spoke about the flexibility Avery allowed him in moving guys throughout the lineup. Naturally tonight was an extreme given his insistence on getting Jaromir Jagr away from Jay Pandolfo and Co. But chances are we'll see more of that moving forward.
OK, more later…

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Good breakfast Comfortable bed Pleasant hotel Looking a little tired. Carpets have been down for a very long time and could well be replaced, particularly in the bedroom.
Returning to this Hotel after very many visits,I found,(as always,)that the room was exremely comfortable and very well appointed.Moreover it was quiet and restful.The great advantage of this Hotel is that it is set in rural surroundings(the peaceful Village of Mellor,),yet is close to the Centre of Blackburn.and is easily accessible from the Motorways.Food is also extremely good.All in all,very good value for money. There is nothing to dislike about this Hotel.The atmosphere is that of a Country Inn,yet combining all the facilities one would expect in a central City Hotel.I stay at it every year on an annual visit to Blackburn.I have never been disappointed.
There was a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The food was amazing and the room comfortable and had everything you needed.
the room was big enough, clean and nice decor. Breakfast was good.Countryside was beautiful. Unable to dine on Saturday night in resteraunt or bar, Should book table when booking hotel. Shortage of towels in bathroom.
The quality and choice of food is excellent. The noise of the kitchen fans was fairly bad but at least they were switched off at 11pm!
Staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was top notch. The room and in particular the bathroom was getting a little tired and in need of an upgrade.
From the welcome when I arrived to the efficiency of the check-out, my experience at the Millsone was first class. The restaurant staff were 5 star.
The staff were friendly and attentive. The rooms were charming and the breakfasts were fantastic ! We were joined by other members of our family for dinner and they too thought it all superb ! Will definitely go back !
Small, comfortable room with large comfortable bed. Excellent dining room with good wine selection. Also a wide selection of bar meals and local beer.
Good food, good bar with decent beer. Room clean and well furnished, not modern but functional. wireless signal didnt reach to the room

Amanda Seyfried & Josh Hartnett Were Banging This Whole Time
Amanda Seyfried has been quietly banging her way through Hollywood, so it really shouldn't be a surprise that Us Weekly reports she's been banging Josh Hartnett underneath her taxidermy trophy wall since January. And I say no surprise, because like Amanda Seyfried, and now Josh Hartnett, I know you've never truly had an orgasm until it's reflected in the eyes of a dead ocelot.

Corps won't increase water releases
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has rejected requests from Midwestern lawmakers and ag interests to increase the flow from upstream Missouri River reservoirs to aid navigation in the Mississippi River that it flows into. Upstream state lawmakers are pleased with Friday's announcement.
South Dakota Congresswoman Kristi Noem says "releasing additional water from one river for the express purpose of aiding the navigation of another" would only make things worse for South Dakotans. Missouri and Illinois lawmakers and others along the Mississippi River had pressed the Corps to allow those releases to aid Mississippi River navigation.
Illinois Corn Association Executive Director Rod Wienzierl says the Corps began slowing flows about two weeks ago and likely won't reach its target of 12-thousand cubic feet per second. He says there are too many problems with not enough flow on the Missouri River.
"Because a lot of the other tributary rivers that feed into the Missouri River," Wienzierl says, "Is not enough to maintain a comfortable water level supply for communities all along the Missouri River. So, (we're) kind of waiting to see what the bottom of the release looks like to get an idea of what the schedule of navigation looks like on the middle-Mississippi (River), between St. Louis and Cairo (Illinois)."
That section of Mississippi River between St. Louis and Cairo, Illinois also has rock pinnacles that are exposed due to low levels, threatening navigation. Weinzierl says it appears pressure from the Obama administration and Congress has the Corps moving more quickly to get the rock pinnacles removed and the work could begin as soon as this month instead of waiting until February.
Weather forecasts show more rain which could also aid Mississippi River navigation.

Voiced consonant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In phonetics, a voiced consonant is a consonant which is pronounced with the vibration of the vocal cords. For example, the sound [z] is a voiced consonant, while the sound [s] is not, and its called a voiceless consonant. You can feel when your vocal cords are vibrating by putting your finger at your larynx, or the Adam's Apple.

I'm trying to find a software or software(s) that can make a circuit with the visual style as shown below:
I have software like Multisim but it doesn't draw the circuits in the visual style like I want above for my laboratory reports. I'm basically just looking for a nice graphical editor that can get me something like above.
I do have Microsoft Visio but it's such a f**king nightmare to use and has such problems with just trying to connet lines that I've given up on it (unless someone knows of a user submitted library that is better to use for it, then I'm all ears).
I've seen some user's produce diagrams like that before on this board and I just want to know what they use. Remember: I'm just looking for a good looking visual style for my circuits.

Programming Philosophy
The Philosophy behind our programing is rooted in this Paradigm Shift:
- Your body is your primary weapon.
If you are unfit or injured, you are a liability to your unit, not an asset.
- You are a professional athlete.
Professional athletes use their bodies to earn a living. Soldiers are professional athletes. Your paycheck not only depends upon your fitness, but so too does your combat performance and survivability.
1) High Relative Strength
2) High Work Capacity for Short/Intense Events
3) Stamina for multiple events over a long duration. Also, stamina for a long event.
4) Military-specific endurance. I.e. running and rucking
5) Tactical Speed, Explosive Power and Agility
5) Mental Fitness
6) Durability for a long career
1) We train for performance outside the gym.
Our programming is focused on training which transfers to tactical performance and durability. Gym numbers are meaningless. All that matters is outside performance. This means we are not wedded to one programming theory or approach. Our programming is constantly evolving as we learn more and improve.
2) Strength Focus.
The best thing we can do for our athletes is make them stronger. Strength is the foundation of performance and durability. We train full body strength heavy, hard and often, using classic, proven barbell and strongman exercises. Beyond full body strength, we hammer the core and midsection daily, and often dedicate whole training sessions to building our athlete's core strength. Our strength training is aimed at the athlete's "Combat Chasis" – legs, hips and core.
3) We build durability.
By developing overall strength, core strength and hip and shoulder mobility, we aim to make our athletes more durable. Industrial athletes such as soldiers and mountain guides depend on their fitness and bodies for their livelihood. Avoiding injury from trauma or overuse keeps them on the battlefield and on the mountain. Strength + Mobility = Durability.
4) Our training sessions are periodized and programmed.
We are uncomfortable with random training. We like to know where we are going.
5) We understand the "burden" of constant fitness, and program accordingly.
Professional soldiers can never allow themselves to get out of shape, but constant training can easily lead to staleness and boredom. Our programming cycles through emphasis on different training attributes, strives to introduce new exercises, and builds in both very intense depletion days and easier, recovery "unload" weeks to both challenge and protect the athlete.
6) Constant improvement.
Our programming today is much different then 12 months ago, and will be different again 12 months from now. The more we coach, the more we learn, and that increased knowledge is continually folded into training programming and training session design. We are constantly making changes to improve. We can always do better.
7) We're our own "Lab Rats."
We do these training sessions too – ahead of when they are published on the website. We understand that programming and training session design are as much craft as they are science, and there's not substitute for the coach writing the training sessions to do them also. We try and test it before we publish it.

TOP STORY >> Spinning Wheel of Fortune a thrill
Leader staff writer
The Wheel of Fortune next Friday will feature Cabot resident and puzzle-solver extraordinaire Allison Osterberg.
The show will air on Channel 7, KATV, at 6:30 p.m.
Although Osterbergs winnings were modest, she said it was thrilling to appear on the show.
Osterberg is a paralegal for Cabots city attorney and is a longtime member of Cabot Junior Auxillary.
The show was taped at Sony Studios on March 20.
We were sequestered like a jury all day, but it was more exciting than jury duty, she said.
Several episodes are taped at once, months before they are set to be broadcast.
Osterberg said that she waited all day before she was called to play.
The audience was as big as she expected, maybe just 50 people. She said its members were mostly guests of hotels that provide complimentary tickets.
The fun was not just getting to participate in the iconic American game show, but spending time with her family in Los Angeles, she said. That helped her to feel comfortable when she took the stage.
We took the kids. We went to Hollywood Boulevard, Venice Beach, and we walked to Santa Monica Pier. We went to the L.A. shopping district, she said.
Osterberg always loved the show. She has watched it most of her life. She honed her skill for solving its famous word puzzles while working around the house.
Her husband, Brad, soon realized that his wife might be able to turn her talent into cash.
He was right.
When he heard that the show would hold an audition in Conway last November, he asked Allison to give it a shot.
There were thousands of people there, she recalled. But the wait seemed to be just too long to bother, she said.
Her name was not called to try out on the first night of auditioning, but her teenage son Wade insisted that she come back again the next day.
She followed Wades advice and lucked out.
On the second day of auditions, her name was called and she was asked to participate in a mock round to demonstrate her familiarity with the game.
Just three months later, Osterberg was on set with the shows host, Pat Sajak, and co-host, Vanna White, spinning the shows glittering wheel.
The hosts were very warm and polite when she met them. That put her at ease and made her feel comfortable just before showtime.
When the music started, Pat and Vanna walked out, and I realized Im on TV, Osterberg said.
But her nervousness quickly subsided.
I was like a deer in headlights when the lightning round started, but I snapped out of it, she said.
According to the shows Web site, The Wheel of Fortune is the most popular syndicated game show on television.
The show has been on the air for 34 years. It started back in 1975 as a CBS daytime game show with Chuck Woolery as the host and Susan Stafford as the letter-turner.
Pat Sajak came on board in 1981, and a year later he was joined by co-host Vanna White, according to the Web site.
In 1983, they syndicated the show as a nighttime program. It rapidly shot to the top of the syndication charts and has stayed there ever since, the Web site says.
The daytime version continued to run until 1991, according to the shows Web site.
Osterberg enjoyed the experience, and it gave her a small taste of show business.
I didnt recognize Vanna without her makeup, and she was wearing sweats, she said about the first time she saw the shows co-host.
She was very nice, Osterberg added.
Osterberg said that she and her family toured Universal Studios after her appearance on the game show.
We rode through the Wisteria Lane on the set of Desperate Housewives.
She also passed through the set of War of the Worlds.
The Osterberg family even did a little celebrity spotting during their Hollywood vacation.
We swear that we saw Don Cheadle at Univeral Studios, she said.
Cheadle is an Oscar-nominated actor who starred in the movies Hotel Rwanda, Oceans Eleven and Boogie Nights, as well numerous other film and television roles.
Osterbergs time in Hollywood hasnt given her any big ideas, though, about future stardom. At least for now, she says that she has no plans to collaborate with Kris Allen, another celebrity with ties to Cabot.
I am going to pay for the trip to L.A. and save the rest for a rainy day, she said about her plans to spend the money she won on the show.
She said that it wasnt about the money it was about having the chance of a lifetime and enjoying herself.
Osterberg wishes that she had won more. I win every night at home, but the luck of the wheel was not on my side, she said.
But she is very grateful to have had the experience, and her friends and family are delighted to hear her story.
I was just tickled to be there, she said.
Her friends and family are planning a watch party for her next week when the show airs.

A new Humble Bundle is up, and it's for comic book fans this time! The 'pay what you want' bundle has DRM-free digital comics including titles from the Walking Dead collection.
Digital comics are not my thing, but I was intrigued at how many 'levels' they are offering this time. The first level, where you set your own price, nets you four books. If you exceed the $10-ish average, you get three more. If you exceed $15, you get an extra bonus book. And then there are options for 'everything above, plus a t-shirt ($40) and 'everything above plus a limited edition action figure ($65).
It's an interesting strategy. They are sticking to their roots on the 'pay what you want' thing, but really trying to bump up the incentive for people to pay more. I suppose if you really are a huge Walking Dead fan, the physical object goodies might be a draw for you, but I can't say I see this working for a regular Humble Bundle of mixed books. Still, I give them props for experimenting, and for trying to bring in more money for the authors (and charities) who participate.

Hello Gerry,
Read your mail sent April 18th. I am researching in Coalisland as well,
the family of John Johnston, b. c. 1830 and emigrated to Canada in
1882. He lived in Coalisland but have not been able to find him in
Griffiths, only a portion of Coalisland residents are listed. I believe
however that I found his daughter, Eliza Johnston, born 1864, in the
Coalisland National School Records - 1869-1916. John Johnston married
Maria Kelly in 1850 in Dungannon (Maria was born c. 1829 in the Townland
of Derryveen, Parish of Donaghmore; her father was Farmer Philip Kelly)
.... any connection??
I checked my sources for your Kellys in Gortgonis in Griffiths Valuation
of 1860. No Kellys were listed in Gortgonis but there is a Alice Kelly
in Creenagh Townland/Tullyniskan and Rep. Thomas Kelly is listed in
Brackaville, Parish of Donaghenry (has Land only) which is basically in
Coalisland; Margaret Kelly appears in Castle Farm, Stewartstown,
Donaghenry on p. 186, Fiche 4.B.4 and James Kelly in the townland of
Derry/page 64: .You can find Townland of Gortgonis on Fiche 6.E.2 on
pages 61 and 62. The same fiche (#6) lists parishes and townlands with
page numbers. According to Griffiths there are 3 Kellys in the parish of
Tullyniskan but they do not appear in Tithe. Parish of Donaghenry: 6
Kellys listed and they appear in Tithe.(Coalisland is divided between
Parishes of Tullyniskan, Donaghenry and Clonoe but appears only under
Donaghenry on Fiche 4.B.4, page 128-130 as far as I have found out)
Dungannon Town: Drumcoo: Hugh Kelly p. 215 and James Kelly p. 216,
Patrick Kelly page 217, Thomas Kelly on page 218 & 219, Susan Kelly p.
221, all on Fiche 8.A.9, Dungannon, Parish of Drumglass, is about 3
miles from Coalisland.
Hope this helps.

Check Out Forever 21's New Beauty Line
Continuing their obvious bid for complete and total retail domination, Forever 21 has expanded into beauty, because clearly they're not satisfied simply sticking to fast fashion. The new collection, Love & Beauty, will launch on Nov. 8 and include lip gloss, mascara, eyeshadow, and eyeliner. While the products surely won't be Sephora-style quality, it'll most likely be the cheapest and easiest way to try new beauty trends — a similar approach for many to their trendy clothing. If you spend $75 today, you'll receive a free lip gloss to try … and hopefully you'll love it enough to become a fan of the line. This is just the beginning of their expansion though, as the brand is planning on moving into the home goods sector as well. Like we said, total domination. [Forever 21]

Review Puzzle
Mr. Edwards
Use our "Math Wall" to help solve the review puzzle. These terms are ones that will be on the EOC.
Some of the puzzles that people list for the public get indexed by the search engines (like Google). Some people find those puzzles and cannot figure out how to make a puzzle of their own. So this page now has the navigation sidebar.
There are now buttons on the puzzle so that you can get a clean page, in either HTML or PDF, that you can use your browser's print button to print. The PDF format allows the web site to know how large a printer page is, and the fonts are scaled to fill the page. The PDF takes awhile to generate. Don't panic!

PARIS (Jan. 16)
French Government circles expressed the hope that Big Four "consultations" would be held within the next week to 10 days to discuss Soviet peace proposals for the Middle East. They stressed the term "consultations" rather than "conference" and indicated that France wanted the talks held by permanent representatives of the Big Four members of the United Nations Security Council. Diplomatic quarters here and abroad however indicated that a hiatus has developed in the Soviet Middle East peace offensive which was expected to delay considerably UN mediator Dr. Gunnar V. Jarring's resumption of his peace-seeking mission in the Middle East. They said that no major development can be anticipated until the Nixon Administration takes office next Monday and has a chance to determine its Middle East policy. The United States and Britain were seeking Soviet clarification of the Kremlin's Middle East plan. Consultations among the Western powers over the past two weeks were said to have raised a number of vital questions about the practicability of the Soviet plan.
The French magazine, Jeune Afrique, published the purported contents of the Soviet plan presented to Western powers Dec. 30. It coincided with a version published by the Beirut newspaper Al Anwar last week that well-informed circles said was fairly accurate. According to Jeune Afrique, Moscow proposed a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Sinai Peninsula over a period of three months during which certain other provisions of the peace proposal would take effect. During the first month, Israeli forces would withdraw to a point 40 kilometers behind the Suez Canal. Immediately afterwards, the two sides would announce the end of their state of belligerency and would deposit documents to that effect with the Security Council. The documents would also pledge the recognition of all states in the area, their security, their frontiers and their right to existence. Both sides would also reach agreements through Dr. Jarring on freedom of navigation, borders and a solution of the refugee problem. During the second month, according to the Jeune Afrique text, Egyptian forces would take over the Suez Canal and start dredging and clearing it for navigation. During the third month, Israeli forces would retire to the lines they occupied on June 4, 1967, the day before the outbreak of the Six-Day War. UN troops would be posted at Sharm el-Shiekh, guarding the Straits of Tiran, in Gaza and on the Sinai frontier with Israel. With the withdrawal of Israeli forces behind their original lines, the statements of non-belligerency would come into effect and the Security Council would vote to guarantee all frontiers. Observers noted that the Soviet proposals made no mention of the status of Jerusalem. Israel has rejected the plan.

text: Oracle today announced the release of several new Java software packages, including the new Java SE 7 Update 6 that brings full support for Java SE 7 to OS X for the first time. The release follows launch of Java development kits for OS X back in April. Apple announced in October 2010 that it was discontinuing its support for Java, with Steve Jobs noting that having Apple responsible for updates generally resulted in Java for OS X being one version behind Java for other platforms. Jobs noted that that "may not be the best way to do it", and his belief was proven true earlier this year after the Flashback malware was able to infect 600,000 Macs by taking advantage of a Java vulnerability that had already been patched in most versions of Java but not yet addressed by Apple. Apple has continued to maintain Java SE 6 while contributing resources to the OpenJDK project to help Oracle and other developers build and maintain Java SE 7 and future versions. Notably, Apple's latest update to Java SE 6 came in sync with Oracle's updates for other platforms, indicating that Apple is working closely with Oracle to make sure Mac users are protected with up-to-date versions of Java on their systems.
