Ini Dia Curhat Mubarak Sehari Sebelum Mundur

2011-02-12T16:44:00.000-08:00

Presiden Muesir terguling, Hosni Mubarak menyatakan kekecewaannya pada Amerika Serikat. Hal itu diungkapkannya dalam pembicaraan telepon dengan koleganya, petinggi Partai Buruh Israel Benjamin Ben-Eliezer.

Dalam pembicaraan telepon yang dilakukan Kamis, atau sehari sebelum mundur, Mubarak mengungkapkan dengan kata-kata pedas. Ia menyebut apa yang dilakukan AS adalah "mencari keuntungan sesaat dengan baju demokrasi di Mesir."

Legislator yang juga mantan menteri kabinet Mesir mengatakan di televisi Jumat bahwa ia melakukan pembicaraan 20 menit pada hari Kamis. Saat menerima telepon itu, ia mengaku sudah membaca "Inilah akhir era Mubarak di Mesir."

"Dia sampai kesulitan mencari kata-kata yang pas untuk menyatakan tentang Amerika Serikat," kata Ben-Eliezer, anggota Partai Buruh yang telah mengadakan pembicaraan dengan Mubarak pada berbagai kesempatan.

"Dia memberiku sebuah pelajaran dalam demokrasi dan berkata, 'Kita melihat demokrasi ala Amerika Serikat menyebar dari Iran dan dengan Hamas di Gaza, dan itulah nasib Timur Tengah'," Ben-Eliezer mengatakan.

Ia menambahkan, Mubarak menyebut demokrasi berdampak pada radikalisme Islam. "Mereka mungkin berbicara tentang demokrasi, tetapi mereka tidak tahu apa yang mereka bicarakan dan hasilnya bagi ekstremisme dan Islam radikal," ia menirukan Mubarak.

Dukungan untuk elemen pro-demokrasi di Iran tidak menyebabkan perubahan rezim di Republik Islam Iran dan Hamas. Hamas yang dianggap AS sebagai organisasi teroris, memenangkan pemilu Palestina 2006. Hamas menguasai Jalur Gaza pada 2007 setelah pemerintah koalisi itu yang didukung Barat pimpinan Presiden Palestina Mahmoud Abbas runtuh dalam perebutan kekuasaan.

Ben-Eliezer mengatakan Mubarak mencemaskan kerusuhan di Mesir pascapengunduran dirinya. "Dia berpendapat bahwa bola salju dari kerusuhan sipil tidak akan berhenti di Mesir dan tidak akan melewati negara-negara Arab di Timur Tengah dan di Teluk."

Inilah Pesan Figo Buat Okto

2011-01-30T01:48:00.000-08:00

Okto Maniani disebut-sebut layak bermain di Eropa. Jika tawaran itu benar datang, Luis Figo mengingatkan Okto kalau skill mumpuni saja tak akan cukup untuk bisa bersaing di kompetisi level atas Benua Biru.

Usai tampil gemilang di Piala AFF 2010, Okto masuk dalam daftar 10 pemain Asia yang dianggap layak merumput di kompetisi Eropa. Penilaian tersebut dibuat oleh seorang kolumnis di situs Soccernet.

Peluang Okto merumput di kompetisi Eropa mungkin belum akan terwujud dalam waktu dekat karena hingga kini tak ada klub Eropa yang secara resmi menyatakan ketertarikannya. Meski begitu, jika nanti benar-benar ada tawaran yang datang, pesepakbola 20 tahun itu disarankan tidak melewatkan kesempatan emas yang datang.

Demikian diungkapkan Luis Figo dalam konferensi pers launcing Dua Kelinci sebagai official sponsor Real Madrid di Lapangan Plaza Arena, Soemantri Brodjonegoro, Jakarta.

"Jika ada kesempatan datang ambil. (Usia) 20 tahun adalah awal dari karir, meski itu bukan titik start dan jelas bukan akhir," sahut Figo saat diminta pendapatnya soal kemungkinan pemain Indonesia mentas di Eropa.

Namun mantan Pemain Terbaik Eropa tahun 2000 dan Pemain Terbaik Dunia 2001 itu mengingatkan akan ada banyak hal yang harus disiapkan Okto, atau siapapun, yang berniat mencicipi kompetisi Eropa.

Bukan sekadar skill mumpuni yang dibutuhkan untuk bisa berada di sana. Pemain disebutnya harus punya kepribadian yang kuat.

"Banyak persiapan yang hatus dilakukan. Anda harus benar-benar kuat, itu tak akan mudah. Bulan-bulan pertama di Eropa tak akan mudah. Anda juga harus punya kepribadian yang kuat, tak cuma kualitas skill saja," lanjut Figo.

Jejak UFO di Jogja jadi tontonan warga

2011-01-23T18:52:00.000-08:00

jejak ufo dijogja - Fenomena unik terjadi Desa Rejosari, Jogotirto, Berbah, Sleman, Minggu (23/1/2011). Padi ambruk di tengah sawah membentuk pola lingkaran yang sangat rapi. Seperti pola itu sengaja dibuat manusia. Istilah ilmiah untuk fenomena ini biasa disebut dengan istilah crop circles atau lingkar taman.

Menurut keterangan Basori (41), warga yang rumahnya berada di utara sawah itu, Sabtu (22/1/2011) malam sekitar pukul 22.30, dirinya mendengar suara gemuruh layaknya suara helikopter mendarat. "Suara itu terdengar sekitar 30 menit, tetapi saya tidak gubris suara itu. Saya pikir itu suara helikopter lewat," tuturnya.

Hal itu diamini oleh Ayu Rukini (32), istri Basori. "Saya juga mendengar suara itu. Waktu itu saya dan suami sedang menonton televisi. Saya mengira tentara Angkatan Udara sedang latihan," ujarnya.

Fenomena ini diketahui pertama kali oleh Yudi (20). "Sekitar pukul lima pagi tadi, saya berangkat kerja. Sewaktu melewati sawah ini, saya melihat padi-padi ambruk tapi membentuk pola yang rapi," kata Yudi.

Yudi menyanggah keterangan Basori tentang suara gemuruh yang terdengar semalam. Yudi yang tadi malam nongkrong di depan rumah Basori sampai pukul tiga pagi tidak mendengar suara apa pun. "Bahkan semalam tidak ada hujan atau angin. Tahu-tahu tadi pagi sudah terbentuk pola ini (lingkaran) di tengah sawah," ujar Yudi.

Fenomena ini dapat dilihat dengan jelas dari puncak bukit di utara sawah. Warga setempat menyebut bukit itu Gunung Suru. Puluhan warga menaiki Gunung Suru untuk melihatnya. Hujan turun dan jalan ke puncak bukit yang sangat licin tidak membuat surut antusiasme warga untuk melihat fenomena ini.

"Apakah ada UFO mendarat di sini? Saya tidak tahu pasti. Yang jelas ini adalah kebesaran Allah. Mungkin Allah memperingatkan manusia untuk menjaga alamnya," kata Syamsul Bahri (37), warga Beloran, Madurejo, Prambanan, Sleman, yang datang untuk melihat dari puncak Gunung Suru.

Jauhari (34), warga Kebondalem, Madurejo, Prambanan, Sleman, yang rela jatuh bangun karena licinnya jalan menuju puncak Gunung Suru, berujar, "Ini seperti fenomena pendaratan UFO, yang sering dibahas di televisi. Tapi, saya tidak tahu apakah benar adanya. Hanya Allah yang tahu sebabnya."

Fenomena Fenomena Jejak UFO di Jogja ini sering dijumpai di beberapa tempat.

Ruben Wuarbanaran Masuk Timnas U23, Kakaknya Protes

2011-01-23T03:07:00.000-08:00

AMSTERDAM--Ruben Wuarbanaran, blasteran satu-satunya yang masuk seleksi timnas U-23, merasa sering dikutip salah di media Indonesia. Minimal ada 3 kekeliruan yang perlu diluruskan.

Hal ini disampaikan Nico Wuarbanaran, kakak Ruben, kepada Radio Nederland (RNW), Kamis (20/1). Kekeliruan pertama yang sering dikutip, kata Nico, adalah soal tinggi badan adiknya.

Untuk ukuran pemain Indonesia, Ruben memiliki tinggi di atas rata-rata. Menurut Nico media Indonesia banyak yang keliru menuliskan tingginya 187 cm. "Tinggi badan yang benar 182 dan bukan 187 cm!" demikian Nico.

Dalam menempatkan Ruben, Nico berharap Pelatih Timnas Alfred Riedl mendengar pendapat pemain dan orang yang sangat mengenal Ruben. Selama ini banyak yang menduga Ruben mendiami lini bek. "Sering disebut dia sebagai bek, tapi sebenarnya dia adalah pemain tengah,"

Posisi paling pas dan cocok adalah gelandang bertahan. Ia bisa tampil optimal kalau ditempatkan di sana, karena remaja kelahiran 15 Agustus 1990 itu punya insting bagus.

Yang terakhir, kata Nico yang tampil sebagai jurubicara untuk adiknya ini, soal fisik Ruben sudah sangat kuat. Dia tidak sependapat dengan kalangan yang menilai Ruben terlalu gemuk. "Dia tidak gemuk, mungkin lemaknya hanya 8% saja. Itu sudah ideal."

Kakaknya yakin dengan kondisi Ruben saat ini yang memiliki postur dan teknik ideal. "Secara fisik, dia sudah cukup kuat dan unggul dalam duel fisik."

Gara-gara Berjilbab, Wasit Keluarkan Pebasket dari Lapangan

2011-01-20T04:32:00.000-08:00

Seorang gadis Muslim di Maryland yang memperkuat regu basket sekolahnya menangis setelah dia dipaksa keluar pada paruh pertama pertandingan basket oleh seorang wasit. Alasan sang wasit, jilbabnya menimbulkan resiko keselamatan.

Wasit bersikeras, jilbab yang dikenakan bisa mencekiknya. Pilihannya, Haq melepas jilbab atau keluar lapangan.

Aksi pengeluaran Maheed Haq, nama pebasket itu, mengundang protes pelatih dan anggota regunya. Setelah pertandingan dihentikan sementara, administrator liga memutuskan untuk memperbolehkan Haq kembali bermain.

Dr Mohammad dan Anina Haq, orangtuanya, menyatakan putri mereka menangis setelah dia dipanggil keluar.

Daphnie V Campbell, koordinator liga, mengambil jalan tengah. Dia menyatakan orang tua si gadis harus memberikan surat yang menyatakan bahwa jilbab adalah bagian dari agama putri mereka dan bertanggung jawab untuk setiap cidera. Campbell menyatakan tindakan yang dilakukan wasit adalah benar.

Pelatihnya Mark Kershner, yang tidak ingin membawanya keluar dari permainan, mengaku ia kecewa dengan tindakan wasit. Ia menyatakan, sudah puluhan kali atletnya main, dan tak pernah ada masalah. "Anda bisa melihat bahwa dia secara emosional terpengaruh," kata Kershner.

Juru bicara Dewan Hubungan Islam-Amerika (CAIR), Ibrahim Hooper, mengatakan tak semestinya olah raga mendiskriminasi perempuan berjilbab. Dia mengatakan kasus seperti ini biasanya dapat diselesaikan dengan kerjasama dari kedua belah pihak.

Inilah Mengapa Riedl Memilih Dias Angga Tanpa Proses Seleksi

2011-01-18T01:37:00.000-08:00

Dias Angga Putra, gelandang Persib Bandung, mengaku heran ketika dirinya terpilih dalam daftar 26 nama skuat timnas u23 Indonesia pra-Olimpiade 2012. Padahal, Dias tidak pernah dipanggil dan tidak pernah mengikuti seleksi timnas u23.

Pelatih Persib Bandung, Daniel Roekito, tidak kalah terkejutnya dengan pemanggilan Dias. Dia memang merekomendasikan Dias untuk dipanggil masuk seleksi timnas. Namun, hanya tiga pemain Persib yang terpanggil yaitu Rendi Saputra, Munadi dan Johann Yoga.

Dari tiga pemain Persib tersebut, hanya Johann Yoga yang lolos seleksi. Sementara Dias, yang tidak lolos pemanggilan seleksi timnas, sebaliknya justru masuk skuat timnas u23 Indonesia pra-Olimpiade 2012.

Asisten pelatih timnas u23, Widodo C. Putra, membuka teka-teki di balik pemanggilan Dias tersebut. Widodo mengakui bahwa Dias merupakan pengecualian.

"Pelatih Alfred Riedl menemukannya saat menonton laga Persib Bandung melawan Bontang FC di televisi. Riedl menilai permainan Dias sangat bagus," cerita Widodo seperti dikutip persib-bandung.or.id.

Ketika seleksi gelombang ketiga masih berlangsung, Dias saat itu memang sedang tampil memperkuat Persib Bandung menghadapi tuan rumah Bontang FC pada 16 Januari. Dalam laga yang berakhir 1-0 untuk kemenangan Persib Bandung lewat gol tunggal Cristian Gonzales tersebut, Dias tampil selama 46 menit sebelum akhirnya digantikan Pablo Alejandro Frances.

Widodo menuturkan bahwa sebenarnya Riedl sudah mengincar Dias sejak lama. Namun, karena Diaz belum pernah dimainkan oleh Persib, Riedl masih ragu.

"Baru kemarin dia melihat permainan Dias dan Riedl menilai permainannya sesuai dengan yang dibutuhkan timnas,'' kata Widodo. ''Terlebih lagi dia masih muda, baru 21 tahun. Lagipula, skuat ini tidak baku, masih bisa ada pergantian jika permainan Dias tidak bagus."

Makhluk "Buncul" Halus Hebohkan Warga Cirebon

2011-01-17T04:19:00.000-08:00

Penangkapan Buncul, sejenis makhluk halus yang bisa dilihat kasat mata, hebohkan warga Cirebon, Jawa Barat. Untuk bisa melihat makhluk tersebut warga terlebih dahulu membayar karcis Rp1.000.

Buncul pertama kali ditemukan di Sungai Soka oleh Jamil (27) warga Blok Desa, RT 07/02 Desa Pamijahan, Kecamatan Plumbon, Kabupaten Cirebon. Keberadaan siluman berambut panjang yang biasa menghuni air di Sungai Soka sudah diketahui warga sejak puluhan tahun lalu. Namun sejauh itu belum ada yang berani menangkap.

CIREBON - Penangkapan Buncul, sejenis makhluk halus yang bisa dilihat kasat mata, hebohkan warga Cirebon, Jawa Barat. Untuk bisa melihat makhluk tersebut warga terlebih dahulu membayar karcis Rp1.000.

Buncul pertama kali ditemukan di Sungai Soka oleh Jamil (27) warga Blok Desa, RT 07/02 Desa Pamijahan, Kecamatan Plumbon, Kabupaten Cirebon. Keberadaan siluman berambut panjang yang biasa menghuni air di Sungai Soka sudah diketahui warga sejak puluhan tahun lalu. Namun sejauh itu belum ada yang berani menangkap.

“Selama ini memang banyak warga yang mengaku pernah melihat makhluk halus tersebut, tapi baru Jamil yang berhasil menangkap,” kata Mulyana (50) warga Pamijahan, Senin (17/1/2011).

Oleh warga, pria tuna rungu ini dikenal sebagai orang pintar. Jamil berhasil menangkap buncul pada Senin subuh, kemarin. Makhluk halus yang ditangkap Jamil wajahnya seperti kera, ukurannya kecil, berwarna hitam, berambut panjang, memiliki dua tangan berkuku tajam, bergigi putih tajam, memiliki taring. Saat pertama kali ditemukan, makhluk tersebut masih hidup dan dimasukkan dalam akuarium serta ditaburi kembang tujuh rupa.

“Waktu pertama ditemukan ukurannya masih besar tapi kemudian semakin mengecil,” ungkap Didi, rekan Jamil yang mengaku ikut memburu buncul tersebut.

Menurutnya, mahluk itu sengaja tidak diberi air atau diletakkan di atas tanah karena dikhawatirkan akan hidup dan ukurannya bertambah besar.

Informasi yang berhasil dihimpun, penangkapan Buncul berawal dari penuturan seorang warga yang mengaku rambutnya pernah ditarik makhluk halus saat mandi di Sungai Soka.

Cerita salah seorang warga tersebut rupanya membuat Jamil penasaran, hingga pada Minggu 16 Januari malam sekira pukul 20.00 WIB dia dan teman-temannya pergi ke Sungai Soka untuk menangkap Buncul.

Setelah melakukan ritual, dia berhasil menemukan sepasang buncul di sela-sela batu cadas. “Kami hanya berhasil menangkap Buncul laki-laki yang ada kumisnya. Sementara buncul perempuan berhasil kabur,” ucap Didi.

Menurutnya, mahluk itu baru bisa ditangkap pada sekira pukul 00.00 WIB setelah air dikuras dan lumpur digali hingga kedalaman 50 sentimeter.

Buncul tangkapan Jamil pun menjadi tontonan warga. Bahkan ratusan warga berdesakan ingin melihat dari dekat makhluk halus yang disimpan di Gedung Olahraga (GOR) Desa Pamijahan. Tidak sedikit warga yang berebut mengambil gambar mahluk berbentuk aneh tersebut.

Alhamdulillah...Satu Lagi Gedung di Inggris Beralih Fungsi Jadi Masjid

2011-01-16T23:44:00.000-08:00

Sebuah kubah baru telah ditambahkan ke sebuah bangunan megah yang sebelumnya difungsikan sebagai panti sosial. Ini adalah gedung ke sekian yang telah beralih fungsi menjadi masjid. Kubah tembaga yang dipasang di atapnya merupakan sumbangan sebuah masjid di Audley Range, Blackburn.

Bangunan yang kemudian diberi nama Masjid Sholihin ini tampak menunjol. Bangunan di Didsbury Street ini hanya beberapa jengkal dari bundaran yang menjadi ikon kota itu.

Sebelumnya, bangunan panti sosial ini telah lama menganggur. Sebuah proyek penggalangan dana yang dilakukan untuk pengambilalihan. "Ini adalah proyek panjang, dan kami melakukannya tahap demi tahap. Tahap selanjutnya, tergantung pada sumber pendanaan, adalah untuk meningkatkan sisi yang menghadap Burnley Road," ujar seorang jamaah.

Sebelumnya, sisi bangunan itu terdiri dari jendela kaca. Namun setelah pengambilalihan, masjid menjadi sasaran vandalisme. Akhirnya, daripada harus selalu repot mengganti kaca yang pecah, pengurus masjid memutuskan untuk menutupnya dengan tembok. "Mudah-mudahan kemudian akan terlihat rapi, karena telah menjadi sedikit merusak pemandangan."

Ketua Dewan Masjid, Yusuf Jan-Virmani mengatakan ada juga masalah drainase di lokasi."Itu berantakan, tapi kami telah berhasil membarui itu," ujarnya.

Salah satu sisi halaman masjid dimanfaatkan untuk sarana aktivitas sosial warga. "Banyak warga yang memanfaatkannya untuk bermain bola atau latihan bulutangkis," ujarnya.

Benarkah Facebook akan Ditutup Pada Maret?

2011-01-15T21:04:00.000-08:00

Pendiri Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, diberitakan mengumumkan bahwa Facebook akan ditutup pada bulan Maret. "Facebook telah di luar kendali," kata Zuckerberg dalam konferensi pers di luar kantornya Palo Alto, "dan stres pengelolaan perusahaan ini telah menghancurkan hidupku. Aku harus mengakhiri semua kegilaan ini. "

Zuckerberg terus menjelaskan bahwa mulai 15 Maret, pengguna tidak akan dapat lagi mengakses account Facebook.

"Setelah 15 Maret seluruh website akan ditutup," kata Avrat Humarthi, Wakil Presiden Teknik Facebook. "Jadi, jika anda ingin melihat gambar Anda lagi, saya sarankan Anda mengambil mereka dari internet. Anda tidak akan bisa mendapatkan mereka kembali setelah penutupan."

Zuckerberg mengatakan bahwa keputusan untuk menutup agak sulit, tapi dia tidak berpikir orang akan marah. "Saya pribadi tidak berpikir itu merupakan masalah besar," katanya.

Namun benarkah berita itu?

TIDAK, Facebook menyangkalnya dalam situs mereka. Rumors itu, kata mereka, mulai beredar pada Ahad, dimulai dari berita karangan di sebuah situs online satir. Pada hari yang sama, situs itu juga membuat berita "heboh" lain: Alien akan menyarang pada 2011, Michelle Obama hamil lagi, dan Goerge Clooney akan mencalonkan diri sebagai presiden.

'Kami tidak mendapatkan memo tentang rencana penutupan atau apapun, jadi kita akan tetap bekerja diri seperti biasa. Kami tidak ke mana-mana, kami baru saja mulai," demikian pernyataan mereka.

LPI: Surat dari FIFA Palsu!

2011-01-14T19:22:00.000-08:00

Surat dari Badan Sepakbola Dunia (FIFA) yang ditujukan kepada PSSI, membasah tentang keberadaan kompetisi Liga Primer Indonesia (LPI), ternyata tidak membuat gentar kubu LPI. Malah, LPI mempertanyakan keabsahan surat dari FIFA tersebut.

Seperti diketahui, PSSI baru saja mengumumkan bahwa pihaknya sudah menerima surat dari FIFA, yang isinya mengizinkan penjatuhan sanksi kepada Liga Primer Indonesia, termasuk seluruh klub, ofisial dan para pemain.

Surat itu ditunjukan PSSI kepada wartawan, Kamis (13/1/2011). Tapi, wartawan tidak dipekenankan melihat secara langsung atau memperbanyak dengan mengcopy surat dari otoritas sepakbola tertinggi di dunia tersebut.

Juru bicara LPI Abi Hasantoso menegaskan pihaknya sama sekali tidak gentar dengan pernyataan PSSI tersebut. Malah, Abi meragukan keaslian surat itu karena banyak kejanggalan dalam lembaran tersebut. Kabarnya, surat itu ditandatangani langsung oleh Sekjen FIFA, Jerome Valcke.

"Keabsahan surat itu sangat perlu dipertanyakan. Tidak mungkin FIFA dengan cepat merespons surat PSSI, yang mungkin tidak terlalu penting buat FIFA. Selain itu, kita semua sudah tahu dalam sebuah administrasi, tidak mungkin hanya dua lembar dan tidak ada tanda FIFA di dalamnya,” tegas Abi yang dihubungi okezone, Jumat (14/1/2010).

“Bila memang akan ada sanksi yang dijatuhkan FIFA kepada kami, tentu kami akan dipanggil pihak FIFA dan ada pembicaraan. Tidak serta-merta langsung diwakilkan oleh PSSI untuk memberikan hukuman,” lanjut Abi lagi.

Namun, kendati pihak LPI sudah meragukan keabsahan surat tersebut, Abi menyatakan tidak akan menjadikan permasalahan ini sebagai senjata untuk memukul balik PSSI, atas dugaan pemalsuan surat.

“PSSI sudah banyak melakukan hal yang teralu bodoh. Biarah masyarakat yang menilai bagaimana PSSI bertindak. Kami hanya ingin kompetisi ini berjalan dan bisa memajukan sepakbola Indonesia yang sudah lama tertidur,” tutup Abi.

Pilih BlackBerry atau Kedaulatan Negara?

2011-01-14T15:58:00.000-08:00

Menerima kehadiran BlackBerry di Indonesia ibarat mendatangkan dua hal sekaligus; kemudahan yang memanjakan sekaligus tekanan terhadap kedaulatan negara.

Semua orang pasti sepakat, gadget keluaran Research in Motion (RIM) itu amat praktis. Blackberry mampu mengoperasikan berbagai aplikasi dalam satu alat ditambah kemudahan lain yang "multi-tasking" makin menjadikan ponsel pintar itu sebagai piranti untuk "menggenggam dunia".

Namun sayang, kemudahan yang memanjakan itu juga mendatangkan persoalan lain yang membuat pemerintah harus bersikap tegas yakni terusiknya kedaulatan negara oleh sebuah korporasi; RIM.

Sudah sejak Agustus 2010, pemerintah melalui Kementerian Komunikasi dan Informatika (Kemenkominfo) meminta RIM agar membuka kantor perwakilannya di Indonesia agar konsumen di Tanah Air yang terus melonjak jumlahnya tidak dirugikan.

Pada perkembangannya RIM memang membuka service center di Jakarta, tetapi sayang, fakta yang ada penanggung jawabnya masih tetap berada di Kanada sebagai "home base" perusahaan IT tersebut.

Kini ketika jumlah pelanggan layanan BlackBerry (BB) di Indonesia telah menyentuh angka tiga juta pelanggan yang terdiri dari dua juta pelanggan resmi dan satu juta "black market", RIM makin kuat mencengkeramkan kuku-kukunya di Tanah Air.

Perusahaan yang mulai masuk ke Indonesia pada akhir 2004 itu telah merasa demikian besar pengaruhnya di Indonesia, namun sayang tampak tidak terlampau mengindahkan aturan main berbisnis di Indonesia.

Fakta itulah yang membuat Menteri Komunikasi dan Informatika (Menkominfo) Tifatul Sembiring, merasa demikian gerah dengan sikap dan keberadaan RIM di Indonesia.

Kementerian Komunikasi dan Informatika telah memperkirakan pendapatan bersih produsen BlackBerry (BB), Research in Motion (RIM), di Indonesia mencapai Rp2,268 triliun per tahun.

"Dengan rata-rata menagih 7 dolar AS per orang per bulan, RIM menangguk pemasukan bersih Rp189 miliar per bulan atau Rp2,268 triliun per tahun. Itu uang rakyat Indonesia untuk RIM," kata Tifatul Sembiring.

Ia menegaskan sampai saat ini produsen BlackBerry, Research in Motion (RIM), dalam mengoperasikan BlackBerry di Indonesia tidak menyetorkan pajak sepeser pun ke Indonesia.
Perusahaan itu juga tidak membangun infrastruktur jaringan dalam bentuk apapun di Tanah Air, karena seluruhnya menggunakan jaringan milik enam operator telekomunikasi di Indonesia.

Pihaknya merasa sangat perlu untuk memberikan peringatan kepada RIM yang mengoperasikan BlackBerry di Indonesia. "Salahkah kita meminta 'jatah' buat NKRI seperti tenaga kerja, konten lokal, menuntut untuk menghormati dan mematuhi ketentuan Hukum dan UU di RI yang berdaulat ini," katanya.

Ia mengatakan, sampai saat ini semua operator lain yang beroperasi di Indonesia sudah menjalankan dan mematuhi UU dan peraturan RI, termasuk membayar BHP frekuensi, pajak, merekrut tenaga kerja lokal, mengalokasikan dana Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

Selain itu, operator lain yang beroperasi di Indonesia juga telah sepakat untuk bersama pemerintah melakukan upaya memblokir situs pornografi. "Kelirukah kita jika minta RIM menjalankan UU dan aturan yang sama? Apakah RIM perlu diberi keistimewaan dan perkecualian?"tanyanya.

Pihaknya menegaskan akan terus mengingatkan semua pihak khususnya RIM agar menghormati hukum dan UU. "Ini untuk kepentingan yang lebih luas. Diberi sepotong "kue kecil" lantas mati-matian membela asing. Minta hak yang besar untuk bangsa yang terhormat ini," katanya.

Informasi Keliru
Persoalan kedaulatan negara yang terusik tak sebanding dengan sebuah kemudahan yang ditawarkan alat berteknologi canggih. Namun akibat penyebaran informasi yang bias, kontroversi dan tarik ulur pun kemudian muncul.

Pengamat komunikasi yang juga Staf ahli Menkominfo Bidang Komunikasi dan Media Massa, Henri Subiakto, mengatakan kontroversi mengenai peringatan pemerintah kepada RIM yang mengoperasikan BlackBerry di Indonesia adalah karena masyarakat belum mendapat informasi yang cukup.

"Akibatnya informasi yang diterima keliru. Padahal, ancaman atas penutupan RIM merupakan upaya untuk memberikan keuntungan lebih bagi Indonesia," katanya.

Permintaan pemerintah itu antara lain RIM harus mendirikan kantor perwakilan, menyediakan pusat layanan, menyediakan server yang bisa dialihkan menjadi repeater, menggunakan konten lokal, hingga memblokir situs porno.

Henri Subiakto juga mengatakan pihak yang menentang peringatan pemerintah tersebut kemungkinan memiliki kepentingan dengan pihak asing. "Bisa juga mereka yang senang dengan ketertutupan karena tidak mau servernya di Indonesia," kata Henri Subiakto.

Pengamat politik, Indra J. Piliang, dalam akun twitternya beberapa hari lalu, berpendapat Menteri Tifatul Sembiring sedang mengajak bangsa Indonesia untuk berpikir sesuai dengan UU. "Bahwa teknologi semacam RIM adalah wilayah kedautalan negara," tulisnya.

Menurut dia, negara dijalankan dengan UU, sehingga mau mengganti Tifatul Sembiring dengan orang lain untuk menjadi Menkominfo juga UU-nya akan tetap sama, kecuali kemudian UU-nya diganti.

"Sudah lama bangsa ini didikte oleh perusahaan-perusahaan asing yang mengambil untung di Indonesia," katanya.

Murni Bisnis
Banyak kalangan yang tidak sepakat dengan kebijakan pemerintah, berpendapat persoalan BlackBerry di Indonesia hanya sekadar pengalihan isu dari karut-marut yang lebih besar.

Namun pada dasarnya, keengganan RIM untuk mengikuti aturan main di Indonesia kemungkinan besar lantaran sudah terlanjur menikmati keuntungan bisnis yang amat besar di tanah air dan menganggap aturan di Indonesia sebagai sesuai yang bisa dinegosiasikan.

Moderator id-BB, Agus Winarto, sebagai salah satu pihak yang menjalin kerja sama dengan RIM untuk menyelenggarakan layanan BB di Indonesia mengatakan, masalah penyaringan konten yang dituntut pemerintah kepada RIM adalah murni menyentuh persoalan bisnis.

Pihaknya menyatakan tidak keberatan untuk mendukung upaya pemerintah tersebut. "'Content filtering' adalah murni bisnis. Seharusnya ada solusi sama-sama yang 'win-win'. Kami mengajak mari bersama-sama untuk menyisihkan keuntungan untuk melakukan konten filtering," katanya.

Pada prinsipnya, hal itu kembali pada ketegasan pemerintah untuk bersikap, meski tidak harus seperti Arab Saudi, China, atau Uni Emirat Arab yang mengambil langkah untuk memblokir BlackBerry secara keseluruhan, namun pemerintah harus mengambil langkah yang paling pas untuk Indonesia yang berkedaulatan dengan lebih bijak.

"Kita bukan Arab Saudi. Kita tidak ingin latah, semua ada skenario dan solusi yang cerdas yang sesuai dengan kebijakan dan aturan di Indonesia," kata Kepala Pusat Informasi dan Humas Kemenkominfo, Gatot S. Dewa Broto.

Namun, semua pihak sudah seharusnya sepakat ketika pemerintah melalui Menteri Keuangan berupaya menelusuri pajak RIM di Indonesia. "Kalau seandainya ada komponen royalti atau kewajiban yang dia belum bayar pajak, nanti saya cek, kalau memang itu belum, kita akan tagihkan," kata Menteri Keuangan, Agus Martowardojo.

Apapun alasannya, kedaulatan dan kehormatan negara harus dijunjung tinggi ketimbang sekadar kemudahan sebuah alat.

Nasionalisme di Indonesia Ternyata Masih 'Labil'

2011-01-14T04:54:00.000-08:00

Wakil Ketua MPR, Ahmad Farhan Hamid, mengatakan menjaga nasionalisme di Indonesia itu tidak gampang. Ia menggambarkan bagaimana 'labilnya' nasionalisme Indonesia saat jelang final Piala AFF 2010.

Di pertengahan Desember 2010 semua pihak menyuarakan bahwa rasa nasionalisme di Tanah Air sedang "menggelora" karena kebanggannya terhadap kesuksesan awal timnas. Bahkan, Ahmad Farhan Hamid yang kala itu sedang berada di Pakistan mengaku mendapatkan berbagai pesan singkat (SMS) mengenai eforia timnas tersebut.

"Saat itu, semua bangga dan merasakan eforia yang luar biasa," kata dia, Jumat (14/1). Namun, satu minggu kemudian rasa nasionalisme itu pudar dan berubah menjadi sinisme karena timnas gagal menjadi juara Piala AFF.

"Ternyata memang tidak mudah menjaga nasionalisme," kata Ahmad Farhan Hamid yang juga mantan Dosen Universitas Syah Kuala, Banda Aceh itu.

Meski tidak mudah, kata Ahmad Farhan, tetapi Indonesia termasuk bangsa yang sukses menjaganya sejak merdeka tahun 1945. Hal itu dibuktikan dengan masih utuhnya Indonesia dalam NKRI meski merupakan negara kepulauan terbesar di dunia yang memiliki penduduk sekitar 237 juta dan 376 bahasa daerah.

Meski rakyat Indonesia tersebar di berbagai pulau yang melintang dari Aceh hingga Papua, tetapi hampir tidak ada permasalahan berarti yang dapat mengganggu kesatuan bangsa.
"Uniknya, kita tidak pernah ribut. Menjaga nasionalisme itu sulit dan prestasi besar jika mampu melakukannya,"

Haah.. Di Rumania, Sekelompok Burung Mati Gara-gara Terbang dalam Keadaan Mabuk

2011-01-12T23:01:00.001-08:00

Tak ada yang misterius dengan kematian sekelompok burung di Romania pekan lalu. ''Mereka cuma mabuk,'' kata beberapa ahli hewan.

Penduduk di kota Constanta di Laut Hitam memberi tahu pihak berwenang pada Sabtu (8/1), setelah mereka menemukan puluhan burung sejenis cucak rawa yang mati. Penduduk khawatir burung kecil itu mungkin telah terinfeksi virus flu unggas yang memicu kematian massal populasi unggas pada 2004-2006.

"Pemeriksaan terhadap lima burung memperlihatkan ampel burung tersebut penuh ampas anggur yang mengakibatkan kematian mereka," kata Romeu Laza, pemimpin dinas peternakan di kota itu, kepada Reuters.

Ia merujuk kepada endapan yang merupakan produk sampingan pembuatan anggur. "Ini juga ada pada dua burung gagak mati yang kami periksa," kata Lazar.

Burung tak terbiasa dengan alkohol. Tapi, parahnya musim dingin dan hujan salju telah menghalangi burung menemukan makanan. ''Seandainya saja mereka dapat menemukan benih, ini tentu bisa mengencerkan racun," katanya.

Sisa anggur diduga telah berasal dari tanaman anggur. Tapi, kepala ahli hewan mengatakan bahwa ia tak mengetahui dari mana.

Telah terjadi serangkaian kematian burung secara massal, kejadian yang sulit dijelaskan, di beberapa negara di seluruh dunia dalam beberapa pekan belakangan, termasuk di Amerika Serikat dan Swedia. Ratusan burung yang mati ditemukan di Louisiana bulan ini dan 5.000 burung di Arkansas pada Tahun Baru.

Pemerintah Swedia juga sedang menyelidiki kematian 100 burung gagak hitam yang ditemukan di satu jalan di Falkoping. Banyak ahli mengatakan topan, badai salju, petir atau tabrakan dengan pesawat atau kabel listrik termasuk di antara penyebab yang mungkin bagi kematian burung itu.

Wow..Lampard Pemain Paling Tinggi IQ-nya di Inggris

2011-01-09T01:13:00.000-08:00

Pemain gelandang Chelsea, Frank Lampard, ternyata memiliki kecerdasan luar biasa dengan IQ lebih dari 150. Dengan skor IQ yang demikian tinggi, Lampard menjadi pemain bola sekaligus warga Inggris dengan IQ paling tinggi.

Dokter klub Chelsea, Brian English kepada Daily Star mengungkapkan, kapten klub Chelsea, John Terry juga termasuk pemain Chelsea dengan IQ tinggi. Tapi, dari seluruh pemain Chelsea, Lampard adalah pemain dengan IQ yang paling tinggi.

Dengan tingkat IQ lebih dari 150, Lampard disebut-sebut memiliki kecerdasan melebihi Carl Vorderman, mantan pembawa acara Countdown di Inggris yang juga terkenal dengan kemampuan matematikanya yang luar biasa. Para penduduk Inggris pun kabarnya memiliki rata-rata nilai IQ hanya 100.

Prestasi Lampard di lapangan memang sudah tidak diragukan lagi. Pada akhir 2009, Lampard terpilih sebagai pemain sepak bola terbaik di 10 tahun terakhir didasari oleh beberapa catatan torehan fantastisnya.

Tiga kriteria yang membuat Lampard berhak dapat penghargaan tersebut adalah jumlah pertandingan terbanyak, jumlah kemenangan terbanyak, assist terbanyak kedua serta jumlah gol terbanyak keempat. Semua itu diraih Lampard terhitung sejak 1 Januari 2000.

Dalam jumlah pertandingan, gelandang Chelsea itu sudah menjalani 346 laga Liga Inggris atau lima laga lebih banyak dibanding penghuni posisi kedua yang ditempati bek Liverpool, Jamie Carragher.

Dari jumlah 346 pertandingan tersebut, sebanyak 210 di antaranya berakhir dengan kemenangan. Hasil tersebut membuat Lampard menjadi pesepakbola yang meraih paling banyak kemenangan dalam 10 tahun ke belakang.

Tidak berhenti sampai di situ, Maret 2010 lalu, Lampard membukukan golnya yang ke 151 dalam pertandingan Chelsea melawan Aston Villa di Stamford Bridge. Dalam pertandingan tersebut, Lampard menyumbang empat gol dari keseluruhan kemenangan 7-1 untuk Chelsea.

10 ilmuwan Gila dan Paling Sadis di Dunia

2011-01-07T16:10:00.000-08:00

Ilmuwan-ilmuwan ternyata terkenal tidak hanya karena penemuan-penemuannya yang banyak digunakan oleh umat manusia, bukan hanya karena temuannya yang berjasa bagi perubahan yang sangat mendasar dalam sejarah umat manusia. Ilmuwan juga terkenal karena kontroversinya dengan teori yang mereka yakini hingga kegilaannya dengan praktek-praktek yang sangat tidak lazim bahkan menggunakan manusia sebagai kelinci percobaan.

Charles Darwin misalnya, terkenal karena kontroversi teori Darwinnya yang banyak ditentang. Meskipun teori Darwin belum terbukti benar, sebagian ilmuwan lain sudah berhasil membuktikan kebenaran teori mereka dan menggugurkan bantahan-bantahan yang mereka terima. Namun ilmuwan-ilmuwan berikut adalah ilmuwan gila yang menggunakan segala cara untuk membuktikan kebenaran teorinya:

1. Vladimir Demikhov: Pencangkokan Anjing Berkepala Dua
Pada tahun 1954, ahli bedah Soviet Vladimir Demikhov, mengungkapkan karya terbesarnya kepada dunia: Seekor anjing berkepala dua. Kepala anak anjing telah dicangkokkan ke leher anjing gembala Jerman dewasa. Kepala kedua akan mendapatkan sisa susu, bahkan tidak perlu makanan karena susu mengalir menuruni leher dari sambungna esofagus. Meskipun akhirnya kedua binatang segera mati karena penolakan jaringan, itu tidak menghentikan Demikhov untuk menciptakan lebih dari 19 lagi anjing berkepala dua selama 15 tahun setelahnya.

2. Stubbins Ffirth: Demam Kuning Vomit-Minum Dokter
Selama tahun 1800-an, seorang dokter pelatihan di Philadelphia, Stubbins Ffirth, membentuk hipotesis bahwa demam penyakit kuning bukan penyakit menular, dan melanjutkan hipotesisnya dengan melakukan percobaan pada dirinya sendiri. Awalnya dia menuangkan darah terinfeksi ke lukanya yang terbuka dan kemudian mencobanya dengan meminum darah terinfeksi tersebut. Dia tidak jatuh sakit, namun hal ini bukan karena demam kuning tidak menular karena kemudian diketahui bahwa penularannya harus melalui suntikan langsung ke dalam aliran darah, atau biasanya melalui gigitan nyamuk.

3. Josef Mengele, Malaikat Kematian
Joseph Mengele menjadi termasyhur karena menjadi salah satu dokter SS yang mengawasi pemilihan tahanan yang datang, menentukan siapa yang harus dibunuh dan siapa yang menjadi buruh paksa, dan untuk melakukan eksperimen manusia di kamp tahanan tersebut, diantara orang-orang yang mengenal Mengele sebagai “Malaikat Maut.”
Di Auschwitz, Mengele melakukan sejumlah kajian pada anakkembar. Setelah percobaan selesai, anak kembar ini biasanya dibunuh dan tubuh mereka dibedah. Ia mengawasi sebuah operasi di mana dua anak-anak Gipsi dijahit menjadi satu untuk menciptakan kembar siam, tangan anak-anak menjadi sangat terinfeksi di mana urat-urat mereka telah rusak. Mengele sangat fanatik dengan darah dari anak kembar, terutama yang kembar identik Dia dilaporkan mengambil darah mereka sampai mati.

Tawanan Auschwitz Dekel Alex mengatakan:
“Saya tidak pernah bisa menerima kenyataan bahwa Mengele sendiri percaya dia melakukan pekerjaan yang serius – bukan dari cara dia kurang teliti tentang hal itu. Ia hanya menjalankan kekuasaannya. Mengele mengelola sebuah toko daging – bedah utama yang dilakukan tanpa obat bius. Sekali waktu, saya menyaksikan sebuah operasi perut – Mengele menghapus potongan-potongan dari perut, tetapi tanpa obat bius. Di lain waktu, itu adalah hati yang dikeluarkan, lagi-lagi, tanpa obat bius. Saat itu mengerikan. Mengele adalah seorang dokter yang menjadi gila karena ia diberi kekuasaan. Tidak ada yang pernah bertanya kepadanya – kenapa yang satu ini mati? Mengapa tidak yang satu binasa? Para pasien tidak masuk hitungan. Dia mengaku melakukan apa yang ia lakukan dalam nama ilmu pengetahuan, tetapi itu adalah bagian dari kegilaan”.

4. Johann Conrad Dippel: Frankenstein asli
Johann Conrad Dippel lahir dan besar di kastil Frankenstein, pada 1673 di sebuah tempat di dekat dekat Darmstadt, Jerman. Dia dikatakan sebagai wujud asli dari novel Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”, meskipun gagasan itu tetap kontroversial.Setelah mempelajari teologi, filsafat dan alkimia, ia menciptakan minyak binatang yang terbuat dari tulang, darah dan berbagai produk-produk hewani lainnya, yang dikenal sebagai Minyak Dippel yang diharapkan menjadi setara dengan mimipi para alkemis tentang “obat mujarab kehidupan.” Dikatakan bahwa beberapa bagian dalam karyanya ini termasuk mendidihkan beragam bagian tubuh dalam tong-tong besar untuk membuat semacam ramuan orang gila. Dippel dikenal sebagai penemu bahan kimia sintetis bernama Prussian Blue. Ia mengklaim pernah menciptakan cairan hidup abadi. Kabarnya, percobaannya itu terinspirasi oleh karakter yangs sesuai dengan nama kastil tempat ia lahir, Franskenstein.

5. Giovanni Aldini: Percobaan Listrik Pada Mayat
Aldini adalah keponakan Luigi Galvani. Pamannya menemukan konsep galvanisme, saat melakukan percobaan dengan arus listrik pada kaki katak. Aldini mencoba melanjutkan percobaan tersebut lebih lanjut. ldini melakukan percobaan pada mayat.
Di depan audiens, ia melakukan eksperimen pada tahanan yang dihukum gantung, George Forster. Dia menerapkan batang konduktor penghantar listrik pada rektum, hingga tahanan tersebut mulai meninju udara, dan kakinya mulai menendang dan tersentak. Batang yang diterapakan pada wajah membuat mayat itu mengepalkan dan gemetar. Mata kirinya terbuka. Dan Beberapa orang yang hadir takut mayat itu hidup kembali, dan jika benar maka ia harus kembali dieksekusi. Satu orang penonton begitu ketakutan, dan tak lama setelah meninggalkan area tersebut, dia dilaporkan meninggal.

6. Sergei Bruyukhonenko: The Dog Decapitator
Jauh sebelum Vladimir Demikhov, percobaan gila Bruyukhonenko pada anjing mengarah pada prosedur pengembangan jantung terbuka. Ia mengembangkan mesin kasar yang disebut autojektor (jantung dan paru-paru mesin). Dengan menggunakan mesin primitif ini, Bryukhonenko menjaga beberapa kepala anjing tetap hidup. Pada tahun 1928, ia menunjukkan salah satu kepala di depan penonton. Untuk membuktikan itu nyata, ia memukul-mukul palu di atas meja. Kepala itu tersentak. Ketika mata kepala anjing itu disinari cahaya, matanya berkedip. Dan ketika diberi makan sepotong keju, sisanya segera keluar dari kerongkongan, yang membuat banyak penonton terpukau namun juga jijik dan tidak senang.

7. Andrew Ure: Jagal Skotlandia
Andrew Ure, meskipun banyak prestasi sebagai dokter Skotlandia, dia lebih terkenal selama empat percobaan yang dilakukan pada Matius Clydesdale pada 4 November 1818. Percobaan pertama melibatkan insisi di tengkuk. Bagian dari vertebra dihilangkan. Sebuah insisi kemudian dibuat di pinggul kiri. Kemudian potongan dibuat di bagian tumit. Dua batang yang terhubung dengan baterai ditempatkan di leher dan pinggul, yang menyebabkan kejang-kejang tak terkendali. Batang kedua kemudian ditempatkan di tumit, dimana kaki kiri menendang dengan begitu kuat, sehingga hampir membuat roboh asistennya. Percobaan kedua membuat diafragma dari dada Forster naik turun, seolah-olah ia bernapas lagi.Ure telah melaporkan bahwa selama darah Forster tidak dikeringkan, atau lehernya tidak putus, ia yakin ia bisa menghidupkannya kembali. Percobaan ke-3 menunjukkan ekspresi wajah yang luar biasa yang ditunjukkan ketika Ure membuat sayatan di dahi Forster. Batang itu dimasukkan, dan wajah Forster mulai menunjukkan emosi kemarahan, horor, putus asa, kesedihan, dan mengerikan, berkerut tersenyum. Ekspresi takut dari pemirsa begitu parah sehingga satu dokter pingsan di tempat. Percobaan akhir membuat orang-orang percaya bahwa Forster memang hidup. Potongan juga telah dibuat di telunjuk. Ketika batang itu dimasukkan, Forster mulai mengangkat tangannya dan menunjuk orang-orang di antara para penonton. Tak perlu dikatakan, banyak penonton yang histeris.

8. Shiro Ishii: Dokter Iblis Sejati
Ishii adalah seorang ahli mikrobiologi dan letnan jenderal Unit 731, sebuah unit perang biologis Tentara Kekaisaran Jepang selama Perang Sino-Jepang. Ia dilahirkan di bekas Desa Shibayama Kabupaten Sanbu di Prefektur Chiba, dan belajar kedokteran di Universitas Kekaisaran Kyoto. Pada 1932, ia memulai eksperimen pendahuluan dalam perang biologis sebagai proyek rahasia militer Jepang. Pada tahun 1936, Unit 731 terbentuk. Ishii membangun sebuah senyawa besar – lebih dari 150 gedung-gedung lebih dari enam kilometer persegi – di luar kota Harbin, Cina.Beberapa dari sekian banyak kekejaman yang dilakukan oleh Ishii dan yang lain di bawah komandonya di Unit 731 meliputi: pembedahan makhluk hidup hidup orang (termasuk wanita hamil yang dihamili oleh dokter), tahanan dengan kaki diamputasi dan dipasang ke bagian lain dari tubuh mereka, sejumlah tawanan dibuat beku anggota tubuhnya dan dicairkan untuk mempelajari hasil gangren yang tidak diobati. Manusia juga digunakan sebagai kasus uji hidup untuk pelempar granat dan nyala api. Tahanan disuntik dengan inokulasi penyakit, dengan disamarkan sebagai program vaksinasi, untuk mempelajari efek mereka. Untuk mempelajari efek penyakit kelamin yang tidak ada obat, tawanan laki-laki dan perempuan sengaja diinfeksi dengan sifilis dan gonore melalui perkosaan, lalu dipelajari. Setelah diberikan kekebalan oleh Otoritas Pendudukan Amerika pada akhir perang, Ishii menghabiskan waktunya dalam penjara untuk kejahatannya dan meninggal pada usia 67 akibat kanker kerongkongan.

9. Kevin Warwick: Manusia Cyborg Pertama
Kevin Warwick adalah ilmuwan Inggris dan profesor sibernetika yang sangat terpesona pada robot, dia bahkan berusaha untuk menjadi orang pertama yang pernah menjadi seorang cyborg.Pada 1998, sebuah pemancar RFID sederhana Warwick tanamkan di bawah kulitnya, dan digunakan untuk mengontrol pintu-pintu, lampu, pemanas, dan perangkat lain yang dikendalikan komputer berdasarkan pendekatan keilmuannya. Tujuan utama dari percobaan ini dia katakan untuk menguji batas-batas kemampuan tubuh dapat menerima, dan seberapa mudahnya akan menerima sinyal yang berarti dari chip.Pada tahun 2002, peralatan saraf yang lebih kompleks ditanamkan pada sistem sarafnya, untuk mendapatkan akses sinyal. Percobaan terbukti begitu sukses, hingga sinyal yang dihasilkan cukup rinci pada lengan robot untuk meniru tindakan lengan Warwick sendiri.Kemudian, tambahan percobaan yang paling dipublikasikan adalah di mana sebuah array sederhana ditanamkan ke istri Warwick dengan tujuan untuk menciptakan suatu bentuk empati telepati atau menggunakan sinya Internet untuk berkomunikasi dari jarak jauh juga sukses, menghasilkan percobaan murni pertama komunikasi elektronik antara dua sistem saraf manusia. Eksperimennya masih berlanjut hingga saat ini.

10. John Lilly: Pencipta Tank Perampas Sensor
Untuk mengetahui apa yang akan terjadi jika otak terputus dari semua rangsangan eksternal, ilmuwan John Lilly membangun tangki kekurangan indra pertama pada tahun 1954. Mengambang di air hangat selama berjam-jam dalam gelap gulita dan keheningan, Lilly mulai mengalami fantasi nyata. “Fantasi ini terlalu pribadi untuk disampaikan ke publik,” dia melaporkan kemudian. Halusinasi subjek tes-nya sama-sama sulit untuk dikategorikan secara ilmiah. Ini adalah salah satu alasan mengapa penelitian nya tidak diterbitkan.Lilly kemudian menyerah pada penelitian ilmiah dan mulai mendirikan perusahaan Tank Samadhi, yang diproduksi untuk domestik. Pada tahun 1980 karya Lilly adalah model untuk film “Altered States”. Setelah menjadi guru zaman baru, ia meninggal pada tahun 2001.

5 Lokasi Mudah Temukan Cinta

2011-01-06T02:08:00.000-08:00

MERASA belum beruntung mendapatkan cinta? Jangan khawatir, kesempatan Anda pasti akan datang. Menemukan cinta memang susah-susah gampang, terutama bagi Anda yang cenderung pemilih.

Tahukah Anda, terkadang pada lokasi yang kita anggap paling tidak mungkin, justru itulah lokasi di mana kita menemukan sang kekasih? Jadi, jangan remehkan seluruh lokasi yang selalu Anda lalui saat bekerja, maupun saat mengajak jalan-jalan anjing kesayangan Anda.

Berikut lima lokasi mudah menemukan calon pasangan, seperti dinukil Betty Confidential.

Kedai kopi

Bayangkan, suatu sore yang santai sembari mencium aroma kopi yang khas, pandangan mata Anda tertuju pada sosok tampan yang sedang menghisap espresso- nya. Coba dekati sembari menanyakan gula pasir dan katakan gula pasir di meja Anda habis. Cari alasan untuk bercakap-cakap dengannya.

Arah pulang-pergi bekerja

Ketika Anda menggunakan kereta listrik untuk arah pulang dan pergi bekerja, tak ada salahnya untuk mengecek pria yang mungkin berpotensial. Istilahnya Anda tahu, dia telah bekerja, sama dengan Anda. Dan kemungkinan, dia turun pada stasiun yang sama dengan Anda.

Gym

Tentu saja, banyak yang memanfaatkan lokasi ini untuk berolahraga (dan menemukan teman kencan untuk dibawa pulang). Tapi pasti Anda tidak akan tahan untuk tidak memerhatikan gerak-gerik si “hottie” yang sedang melatih otot trisepnya.

Lift

Pernahkah memerhatikan siapa saja orang yang berada dalam satu lift kantor dengan Anda. Siapa tahu dari percakapan ringan membuat hubungan dapat berlangsung lebih jauh.

Tetangga

Saat Anda “jogging” maupun mengajak anjing kesayangan jalan-jalan keliling komplek, jangan melewatkan semua pandangan mata Anda begitu saja. Perhatikan apakah ada pria yang seusia sedang memerhatikan Anda. Jika ya, jangan ragu untuk memulai percakapan.

Jadi, Anda pilih lokasi yang mana?

Menurut survey, responden Prancis yang menganggap Islam sebagai ancaman mencapai 42 persen. Sementara 22 persen menganggap Islam sebagai faktor keragaman budaya. Sementara di Jerman, responden yang menganggap Islam sebagai ancaman mencapai 40 persen, dan 24 persen menilai Islam memperkaya budaya.

Di kedua negara, mayoritas responden menilai integrasi Muslim dalam masyarakat mereka belum terjadi. Mereka bahkan menilai tidak terintegrasi sama sekali. Pendapat ini dikemukakan oleh 68 persen responden Jerman dan 75 persen responden Prancis.

Sekitar 5 hingga 6 juta Muslim tinggal di Prancis, yang merupakan negara Eropa dengan populasi Muslim terbesar. Sementara di Jerman adal 4 juta Muslim. Jumlah Muslim di Prancis sebenarnya tidak terdata dengan benar karena banyaknya imigran ilegal.

Mengenai pengaruh dan kehadiran Islam, 55 persen responden Prancis dan 49 persen responden Jerman mengatakan terlalu kentara.

Alasan rendahnya integrasi Muslim, 61 persen responden di Prancis dan 67 persen di Jerman mengatakan Muslim menolak untuk berintegrasi.

Baru-baru ini, Kanselir Jerman Angela Merkel mengejutkan dunia dengan mengatakan model multikultur yang diadopsi Jerman untuk mengakomodasi jutaan Muslim di sana telah gagal total.

Gayus "Update" Facebook dari Penjara?

2011-01-04T23:01:00.000-08:00

Mesikpun sudah dipindahkan ke LP Cipinang, masih ada kemungkinan terdakwa mafia pajak Gayus Tambunan mendapatkan akses ilegal ke dunia luar. Sewaktu ditahan di Rutan Mako Brimob Depok, Gayus bisa melenggang berkali-kali keluar tahanan dengan menyuap petugas. Bagaimana di LP Cipinang?

Seorang pengguna internet yang mengaku menjadi teman Gayus di Facebook sejak lama melaporkan adanya indikasi Gayus online dari penjara. Di forum online Kaskus, pengguna yang menggunakan nama inisial gayuspete2010 mengatakan, Gayus sempat melakukan update akun Facebook miliknya di akhir tahun.

Untuk memperkuat argumennya, ia pun mengunggah foto halaman Facebook yang disebutnya milik Gayus. Menurutnya, sejak diburu sebagai tersangka, Gayus berkali-kali mengubah nama di Facebook dan terakhir dengan nama Bob Pete. Namun, nama tersebut kini telah hilang.

Di forum tersebut, juga diunggah foto-foto Gayus dengan berbagai aktivitas. Misalnya, saat Gayus wisuda, saat Gayus bermain futsal, wisata ke Thailand, saat Gayus bersantai bersama teman-temannya, maupun foto Gayus di depan rumah.

Kontan, beberapa postingan yang diunggah sejak 16 November 2010 langsung diserbu pengguan lain. Tentu tak semua pengguna internet percaya sepenuhnya dengan laporan tersebut. Ada yang menduga pengguna bernama gayuspete2010 sendiri biang di balik skenario Gayus seolah-olah online dari penjara. Namun, tidak sedikit yang percaya dan kaget melihat foto-foto tersebut. Malah ada yang menduga gayuspete2010 adalah Gayus sendiri.

Pengguna internet seperti gayuspete2010 mungkin hanya bisa memberi informasi awal indikasi Gayus berinternet dari tahanan. Benar tidaknya, tunggu saja perkembangannya.

Inilah Alasan Irfan Tetap di Persema

2011-01-04T19:15:00.000-08:00

Striker timnas Indonesia, Irfan Bachdim, memastikan diri akan tetap membela klub Persema Malang meski beresiko dipecat dari timnas merah putih. Semuanya dilakukan karena kecintaan Irfan Bachdim terhadap publik pecinta sepak bola di "Kota Malang" tersebut.

Keputusan Irfan untuk tetap membela "Laskar Ken Arok" itu sekaligus memastikan bahwa ia akan berlaga pada kompetisi Liga Primer Indonesia (LPI). Oleh PSSI selaku otoritas sepak bola Tanah Air, liga tersebut dianggap kompetisi ilegal sehingga pemain yang terlibat di dalamnya tidak diperkenankan untuk membela timnas.

Irfan menegaskan, ia tidak mau terpengaruh dengan politik sepak bola di Indonesia. Sebagai pemain profesional, ia ingin bermain seprofesional mungkin dalam tim. Ia juga tidak khawatir dikeluarkan dari timnas jika alasannya tetap membela Persema.

"Karierku dimulai di Malang. Tim dan orang-orang Malang memperlakukanku dengan baik. Jadi, aku tetap main dengan Persema. Aku percaya kalau main bagus tetap akan dipanggil timnas," kata Irfan dalam jumpa pers di Malang, Jawa Timur, Selasa (4/1/2011).

Selain Irfan, pemain lain yang juga terancam tak masuk timnas adalah Kim Jefrey Kurniawan. Kim yang pernah membela FC Heidelsheim di Jerman juga terikat kontrak dengan Persema selama tiga musim.

Abaikan Ancaman PSSI, Riedl Tetap panggil Irfan Bachdim

2011-01-04T14:34:00.000-08:00

Pelatih Timnas Merah putih asal austria, Afred Riedl, tidak peduli dengan ancman Persatuan Sepakbola Seluruh Indonesia yang akan mencoret pemain yang akan tampil di LPI. Buktinya, Afred Riedl itu tetap memanggil delapan pemain Liga Primer Indonesia untuk mengikuti seleksi timnas U-23 Pra-Olimpiade 2012 dan SEA GAMES 2011.

Seperti dilansir situs resmi PSSI, Badan Tim Nasional memanggil Irfan Bachdim dan Kim Jeffrey Kurniawan yang merupakan dua dari delapan pemain LPI yang dipanggil masuk timnas Indonesia. Irfan dan Kim merupakan pemain Persema Malang. Laskar Wong Kito, julukan Persema Malang, bersama PSM Makassar dan Persibo Bojonegoro membelot dari Liga Super Indonesia (ISL) untuk bergabung dengan Liga Primer Indonesia (LPI).

Dua rekan Irfan di Persema, Joko Ribowo dan Reza Mustofa Ardiansya, juga ikut dipanggil masuk seleksi timnas U23. Sementara PSM, yang juga bakal terkena sanksi degradasi karena gabung LPI, juga mengirimkan tiga pemainnya gabung skuat Alfred Riedl. Ketiganya adalah Fandy Edy, Dajusman Trisadi dan Rachmat.

Persibo Bojonegero mengirimkan satu pemainnya yaitu Novan Setyo Songko. Tujuh dari delapan pemain LPI itu akan melakukan seleksi gelombang pertama pada 6 Januari. Irfan, yang tampil membela timnas senior di Piala AFF 2010, langsung mengikuti pelatnas tanpa mengikuti seleksi.

Lima pemain lainnya juga langsung mengikuti pelatnas. Mereka adalah Kurnia Mega (Arema Indonesia), Yongky Aribowo (Arema Indonesia), Oktovianus Maniani (Sriwijaya FC) dan Johann Juanshyah (Persijap Jepara).

Fenomena Halo Matahari Hebohkan Yogyayakarta

2011-01-04T02:23:00.000-08:00

Fenomena alam kembali terjadi. Kali ini di Yogyakarta terjadi fenomena alam "Halo Matahari". Fenomena ini terjadi di langit Yogyakarta pada selasa siang sekitar pukul 11.15 WIB.

Warga masyarakat ramai-ramai ke luar rumah, untuk melihat penampakan Matahari yang tak biasa. Sang surya yang bersinar terik seperti dikelilingi cincin pelangi. Fenomena itu dikenal dengan nama halo Matahari.

Jatmiko, warga Pathuk, Gunung Kidul, DIY mengaku melihat penampakan halo Matahari selama 15 menit.

"Saya heran dan takjub melihat fenomena itu. Tapi tak terlalu resah, karena tanda-tanda bencana bukan seperti itu," kata Jatmiko kepada VIVAnews, Selasa 4 Januari 2011.

Dijelaskan Jatmiko, yang ia tahu, saat terjadi gempa besar di Yogyakarta tahun 2006 lalu, petandanya bukan halo Matahari melainkan awan Cirrus -- awan yang berbentuk vertikal.

"Warga tak terlalu panik, justru berharap ini adalah petanda baik," tambah dia.

Dihubungi terpisah, staf observasi Badan Meteorologi Klimatologi dan Geofisika Yogyakarta, Heru Gunawan, menjelaskan fenomena halo Matahari terjadi karena pembiasan kristal es yang berada di sekitar Matahari yang membentuk semacam pelangi.

"Biasanya terjadi selama 30 menit, tergantung kecepatan angin. Ketika cepat, fenomena itu cepat selesai, kalau hembusan angin stabil dapat berlangsung lama," kata dia.

Tidak semua orang bisa melihat fenomena itu. Untuk hari ini, mungkin hanya masyarakat Yogya yang bisa menikmatinya.

Soal apakah halo Matahari bisa jadi petanda bencana, Heru menegaskan, tidak. "Halo Matahari fenomena alam biasa, tidak ada hubungannya dengan bencana alam, gempa misalnya. Demikian juga dengan awan cirrus, tak ada kaitannya," tambah dia.

Sebelumnya pada Kamis 21 Oktober 2010, terjadi fenomena halo matahari di atas Kota Padang, Sumatera Barat. Sebagian besar warga lalu mengaitkan fenomena ini dengan gempa besar. Sebagian warga cemas.

"Fenomena ini soalnya pernah terjadi sehari setelah gempa besar 30 September 2009," kata Sari, seorang warga Padang.

Wow! Fans Justin Bieber Ancam Bunuh Selena Gomez

2011-01-03T20:00:00.000-08:00

Selena Gomez menerima ancaman pembunuhan setelah fotonya berdua Justin Bieber beredar di internet.

"Jika kamu pacar Justin, saya akan membunuh kamu. Saya Benci Kamu!," demikian isi pernyataan seorang penggemar Justin di akun Tweeter Wizard of Waverly Place seperti dikutip NewsCore, Selasa (4/1/2011).

Dalam foto yang dirilis di blog selebriti Bauer Griffen itu, bintang Disney ini tampak menggunakan bikini bersama Justin di atas sebuah kapal.

"Menjauhlah dari Justin," seru remaja 18 tahun mengomentari foto lain yang menunjukkan Justin dan Selena sedang berciuman saat liburan di Karibia.

"Saya akan membunuh kamu. Saya bersumpah," ungkap Belieber (sebutan penggemar Justin) lain.

Justin dan Selena beberapa kali menghabiskan waktu bersama tahun lalu. Hal ini memunculkan dugaan keduanya memiliki hubungan istimewa. Namun hal itu dibantah Selena. Pada Fedruari 2010, Selena mengatakan bahwa penyanyi remaja asal Kanada itu sudah dianggap sebagai adiknya.

Sementara Justin mengaku mengagumi sosok Selena. "Dia merupakan sosok yang luar biasa. Saya hanya ingin berbahagia di masa remaja saya," ujar Justin, Desember lalu.

Namun, keduanya sangat mungkin merupakan sepasang kekasih. Selain berciuman di atas kapal, pasangan artis muda itu juga pernah kepergok di kamar hotel Gansevoort di Miami, 18 Desember.(ang)

Inilah Tradisi Terunik Di Dunia

2011-01-03T18:49:00.000-08:00

Tradisi merupakan kecenderungan untuk berbuat dan mengulang sesuatu sehingga menjadi suatu kebiasaan. Banyak sekali orang-orang berkumpul untuk ambil bagian atau hanya menonton tradisi tersebut. Nahh, dibawah ini ada 5 tradisi terunik di dunia. Tanpa basa-basi lagi, inilah tradisi terunik didunia yang saya maksud:

1. El Colacho

Sejak 1620, El Colacho (atau lompat bayi) adalah sebuah festival di Spanyol yang diadakan setiap tahun di pesta Corpus Christi. Festival ini melibatkan lompatan di atas matras tempat semua bayi yang dilahirkan di dua belas tahun sebelumnya. Orang dewasa di desa Cstrillo de Murcia berpakaian seperti setan dan ikut melompati bayi. Festival sering membuat luka-luka (biasanya pada orang dewasa) dan dipercaya melompati membersihkan bayi dari dosa – cara babtis yang tidak biasa. Paus Benedict XVI telah meminta jamaah lokal untuk menjauhi festival seperti ini karena berbahaya dan berhubungan dengan agama Katolik.

2. Kanamara Matsuri

Setiap tahun di musim semi, festival Kanamara Matsuri (zakar baja) diadakan di Kawasaki, Jepang. Ini adalah festival kesuburan orang-orang Shinto, dan seperti yang anda lihat, dibuat patung penis yang besar. Selama festival berlangsung, orang-orang bisa membeli permen, sayuran dan hadiaj yang berbentuk zakar. Festival ini sangat populer di kalangan pelacur yang berpikir dengan berpartisipasi bisa mengurangi tertularnya penyakit seksual.

3.Hadaka Matsuri

Hadaka Matsuri adalah festival orang Jepang dimana semua pesertanya telanjang. Festival ini telah diadakan berkali-kali sepanjang tahun di berbagai tempat di Jepang dan menggunakan semacam celana pinggang tradisional. Beberapa bahkan telanjang sepenuhnya dengan kemauan sendiri – faktanya ini diperkirakan menyehatkan. Festival ini terkadang menggunakan lumpur (untuk hiburan) dan beberapa terdapat festival terpisah pria dan wanita. Di beberapa tempat tertentu ada yang diadakan untuk anak-anak – upacara penerimaan, namun biasanya anak-anak ikut bersama festival orang dewasa. Festival pada dasarnya memiliki unsur keagamaan, namun sekarang ini aspek keagamaan secara virtual terlupakan.

4. Festival Menggelindingkan Keju

Festival Menggelindingkan Keju diadakan setiap bulan Mei di bukit Cooper, Gloucestershire di Inggris. Festival ini melibatkan panitia melempar sepotong keju ke bawah ke tempat yang sangat curam, lalu ratusan orang berlari ke bawah bukit (sangat berbahaya) dengan tujuan menangkap keju tadi. Setiap tahun acara ini menimbulkan korban dan karena itulah anak-anak tidak diizinkan ikut, walaupun terkadang ada anak laki-laki dari kota yang ikut. Untuk anak-anak, ada lomba mendaki. Anak laki-laki dan perempuan berlomba di tempat yang terpisah.

5. La Tomatina

Setiap hari Rabu terakhir di bulan Agustus setiap tahun di kota Bu ol di Valencia, Spanyol, 9000 penduduk lokal dan 20000 – 40000 turis pergi ke kota untuk melempar tomat satu sama lain untuk menghormati Virgin Mary dan St. Louis Bertrand. Tradisi ini telah ada sejak 1940an, walaupun acara ini awalnya tidak diizinkan pemerintah Franco. Wanita biasanya berpakaian putih dan pria tidak berpakaian. Siapa saja yang ketahuan memakai pakaian – termasuk wanita dan terutama turis cenderung menjadi target penduduk lokal.

Cuci-Cuci Tangan Kasus Irfan Bachdim

2011-01-03T14:25:00.000-08:00

Kelihatannya semua pihak akan saling menunggu apa yang bakal terjadi pada tanggaal 6 Januari ketika batas waktu penentuan nasib stiker Irfan Bachdim di timnas Merah putih di putuskan. Semuanya seperti ingin cuci tangan karena tidak ada yang mau disalahkan apabila Irfan Bachdim akhirnya benar-benar dicoret dari skuat timnas Indonesia karena alasan non-teknis.

PSSI dan Persema Malang, dua pihak yang berebut Irfan, hanya bisa mengancam tanpa memberikan solusi yang bijak. Ironisnya, Irfan lah yang diancam oleh kedua pihak bersiteru tersebut.

‘’Kami tak ragu untuk mencoret siapa pun nama pemain yang tergabung dalam LPI (Liga Primer Indonesia),’’ tegas Sekretariat Jenderal PSSI, Nugraha Besoes.

PSSI, sebagai induk persepakbolaan nasional, menyatakan tidak mengakui kompetisi LPI. PSSI pun sedari awal sudah mengancam akan memberikan sanksi bagi pemain, pelatih, dan ofisial yang ikut serta menyemarakkan ‘panggung’ kompetisi LPI.

Persema Malang --klub tempat Irfan bernaung-- merupakan salah satu klub yang memilih keluar dari Liga Super Indonesia untuk mengikuti kompetisi LPI. Sama seperti PSSI yang mengancam akan mencoret Irfan dari timnas jika tetap bermain di LPI, Persema juga tidak kalah garang mengancam striker berusia 22 tahun tersebut jika lebih memilih PSSI demi menyelamatkan kariernya bersama timnas Garuda.

Laskar Ken Arok, julukan Persema Malang, mengancam akan menuntut denda membayar dua kali lipat dari nilai kontraknya jika Irfan hengkang dari Malang. Sebab, sampai saat ini Irfan masih terikat kontrak dengan Persema Malang selama satu tahun. "Persema mengontrak Irfan selama satu tahun dan Irfan harus memahami aturan tersebut," tukas manager Persema Malang, Asmuri.

Manajemen timnas memberikan solusi sebagai jalan keluarnya. Manajer timnas Indonesia, Andi Darussalam Tabussala, menyarankan Irfan keluar dari Persema sebagai jalan keluarnya. "Sekarang ini Irfan kan masih terikat kontrak dengan Persema, sedangkan Persema mengikuti kompetisi ilegal. Sesuai aturan, kalau dia masih mau memperkuat tim nasional, maka dia harus bergabung dengan klub yang mengikuti kompetisi resmi," kata Andi.

Tapi, tetap tidak ada yang berani membuat keputusan untuk memutuskan nasib Irfan. Mereka memilih saling menunggu tentang nasib Irfan. Dengan usianya yang masih muda, Irfan yang dipaksa untuk menyelesaikan sendiri masalah pelik tersebut.

Memilih membela klub atau timnas mungkin menjadi lebih mudah bagi seorang pemain jika sang pemain misalnya memiliki tujuan ingin membawa klub atau timnas menjuarai sesuatu. Tapi, dalam kasus Irfan, dia harus memilih karena terjebak dalam perseteruan non-teknis antara klub (Persema Malang) dan timnas (PSSI).

Sebagai pemain yang baru mencicipi 'anehnya' sepakbola Indonesia, Irfan sudah jelas sangat kesulitan jika harus membuat sendiri keputusan. Beruntung Irfan cukup pandai untuk tidak mau dijadikan 'kambing hitam' korban pertikaian pihak yang mengaku mencintai dan ingin membangun sepakbola nasional. ''Masalah ini bukan terserah saya, tapi PSSI,'' katanya. Good Irfan!!!

Woww... Irfan dan Kim Sambangi Kantor LPI

2011-01-03T04:43:00.000-08:00

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID,JAKARTA --Sinyal semakin jelas bahwa Irfan Bachdim dan Kim Jeffrey Kurniawan akan bertahan bersama Persema Malang untuk bermain di Liga Primer Indonesia. Keduanya mendadak mendatangi kantor LPI di Jalan Ampera Raya, Jakarta Selatan, Senin (3/1/2011).

Kedatangan Irfan dan Kim sepertinya memberi sinyal bahwa mereka tidak gentar mendapat ancaman PSSI yang akan memberikan sanksi jika tetap bermain di LPI --kompetisi sempalan PSSI. Usai keluar dari kantor LPI, Irfan dan Kim sama-sama bungkam.

Mereka hanya berulangkali menebar senyum. Sama sekali tidak mau membocorkan maksud dari kedatangan tersebut.

Manajer Liga LPI, Arya Abhiseka, yang turut hadir di acara itu menyatakan bahwa ada pembicaraan antara LPI dengan kedua pemain. Pembicaraan terkait tawaran kontrak yang cukup menggiurkan. "Kita memberi gaji bagus dan jejak karier," ujarnya singkat. Walau begitu, Arya tidak memberi kepastian apakah tawaran tersebut diterima oleh Irfan dan Kim.

Alferd Riedl Siap Melawan jika PSSI coret Irfan Bachdim

2011-01-03T00:35:00.001-08:00

Pelatih Timnas Indonesia, Alfred Riedl sepertinya akan memberikan perlawanan kepada PSSI apabila masalah non-teknis kembali merecoki skuat timnas. Jika PSSI benar-benar mencoret striker Irfan Bachdim maka pelatih asal Austria itu bisa jadi akan memberikan perlawanan kepada PSSI.

Irfan Bacdhim rencananya akan tetap memperkuat Persema Malang di kancah Liga Primer Indonesia yang merupakan liga sempalan PSSI. Oleh karena itu, Irfan Bachdim terancam di coret dari sekuat Merah Putih. Sebenarnya kecenderungan ini sudah terlihat ketika Alferd Riedl ditanya masa depannya bersama timnas Indonesia. Pelatih asal Austria itu menegasakan bahwa skuat timnas Merah Putih masih menjadi wewenangnya selama dia masih menjadi pelatih timnas Indonesia.

''Ketua umum PSSI (Nurdin Halid) bisa mendepakku kapan saja,’’ kata Riedl seperti dikutip situs affsuzukicup. ‘’Tapi, sepanjang saya masih menjadi pelatih timnas, maka saya yang menentukan bagaimana cara timnas bermain dan siapa akan bermain.''

Riedl secara jelas menegaskan bahwa urusan timnas menjadi ranah wewenangnya. Termasuk urusan coret mencoret pemain.

Dalam wawancara dengan sebuah stasiun televisi nasional, Timo Scheunemann juga tidak gentar dengan ancaman PSSI yang akan mencoret pemainnya, Irfan dan Kim Jaffrey Kurniawan, dari timnas. Pelatih Persema Malang itu yakin urusan pencoretan pemain merupakan urusan Riedl selaku pelatih timnas. ‘’Jika Irfan Bachdim dinilai layak untuk masuk timnas, saya yakin Riedl akan memanggilnya,’’ kata Timo.

"Sampai saat ini kami tak memiliki laporan mengenai korban cedera. Tak ada kerusakan, hanya saluran telepon dan sebagian pasokan listrik terputus. Kami terus memantau keadaan," kata Vicente Nunez, kepala kantor penanganan kondisi darurat di negeri itu, Onemi.

Ia mengatakan, kemungkinan tsunami di sepanjang garis pantai Pasifik telah dikesampingkan dan ia mendesak warga pantai yang telah bergegas ke tempat yang lebih tinggi agar pulang ke rumah. "Kami telah memberitahu rakyat agar kembali ke rumah mereka sebab tak ada siaga tsunami," katanya. Ia mengatakan gempa yang cukup besar telah terjadi dengan kekuatan 5,0 pada skala Richter.

Benarkah Eddie Murphy Telah Meninggal Dunia?

2011-01-02T06:05:00.000-08:00

Nurdin Halid Menolak Mundur Dari PSSI

2011-01-01T05:09:00.000-08:00

Ketua Umum Persatuan Sepakbola Seluruh Indonesia (PSSI), Nurdin Halid menolak mundur dari PSSI. Padalah desakan supaya nurdin halid untuk mundur dari jabatan PSSI sangatlah banyak sekali. Diantaranya desakan dari twitter dan facebookers. Di Facebook, muncul gerakan “1.000.000 Facebookers dukung Ketua PSSI Nurdin Halid untuk Mundur!”. Sedangkan di Twitter, Trending Topic dengan hastach #nurdinturun sempat berkuasa di top ten trending topic.

Akan Tetapi, ada beberapa alasan meengapa Nurdin Halid menolak mundur dari PSSI. Berikut alasan Nurdin yang dikutip dari goal.com

“Kenapa ada ketua umum disuruh mundur? Ketua umum sudah mempersiapkan timnas secara maksimal. Buktinya masyarakat berlomba-lomba datang ke stadion. Kalau timnas jelek, tidak mungkin mereka datang,” kata Nurdin.

“Kenapa disuruh mundur? Karena ada yang rekayasa. Ada yang bayar. Gitu! Siapa orangnya? Cari sendiri!” tambahnya.

Nurdin juga menegaskan, dia tidak mungkin turun apabila ada intervensi pemerintah maupun DPR.

“Mana ada di dunia ini, tim menang, ketua umumnya diminta turun. Lihat para pemain. Contohnya si Yongki [Ari Wibowo] dibesarkan dan dimatangkan di Superliga. Hasilnya ya seperti ini,” katanya.

“Saya mau tegaskan, Nurdin Halid tidak akan pernah mau mundur dengan tekanan. Karena saya menghargai demokrasi, menghargai sistem, dan menjaga martabat PSSI sesuai statutanya.”

Kendati gagal meraih gelar juara AFF, Nurdin memuji penampilan timnas. “Anak-anak sudah luar biasa. Tapi itulah sepakbola. Kita kalah di Kuala Lumpur, itupun dalam 15 menit. Kita cuman very very unlucky,” tandasnya.

Hujan Meteor dan Gerhana Bulan pad Bulan Desember 2010

2010-12-31T23:41:00.000-08:00

Pada akhir tahun 2010 ini akan terjadi dua fenomena angkasa yaitu hujan meteor dan gerhana bulan. Kedua fenomena alam tersebut akan menyertai hari-hari penduduk Bumi menjelang pergantian tahun.

Hujan meteor yang terjadi pada akhir tahun ini adalah hujan Meteor Geminid. Pada siang ini sebenarnya akan terjadi puncak hujan meteor. Tadi malam dan nanti malam, masih bisa disaksikan," kata Peneliti dari Lembaga Penerbangan dan Antariksa Nasional(LAPAN) Thomas, Senin (13/12/2010).

Hujan Meteor Geminid tersebut berasal dari asteroid Phaenton. Asteroid merupakan kepala komet yang sudah habis debu-debunya, sehingga yang tersisa hanya intinya berupa batu dengan diameter sekitar 5 kilometer.

Meteor shower ini bisa dilihat dengan mata telanjang. Jamaluddin bahkan menyarankan agar fenomena ini dilihat dengan mata telanjang ketimbang memakai teleskop. Sebab bila menggunakan teleskop maka medan pandang menjadi sempit.

"Kita bisa melihatnya ke arah utara sampai barat laut pada sesudah tengah malam hingga menjelang subuh. Ini tergolong sedang karena jumlah meteornya antara belasan sampai 20 meteor per jam," terang pria berkacamata ini.

Anda tertarik menyaksikannya? Bila iya, tengah malam nanti menghadaplah ke arah utara sampai barat laut. Carilah rasi bintang Gemini, karena hujan meteor ini seolah muncul dari gugus bintang tersebut.

Fenomena ini akan terlihat bila cuaca cerah dan tidak berawan, jauh dari polusi cahaya (Anda bisa mematikan lampu di sekeliling atau dilihat dari luar kota) dan medan pandang tidak terhambat pohon maupun bangunan. Jika tengah malam nanti Anda melewatkannya, jangan khawatir. Karena hujan meteor Geminids adalah fenomena tahunan.

"Ini setiap tahun terjadi. Kalau untuk melihatnya sekarang ini agak terganggu bulan separuh. Cahaya bulan cukup mengganggu meski potensi untuk melihat masih mungkin,"sambung alumnus Universitas Kyoto, Jepang, ini.

Puncak hujan meteor Geminids, menurutnya terjadi pergeseran. Dulu puncaknya terjadi pada 12 Desember, namun sekarang terjadi pada 13-14 Desember. Hal ini dikarenakan debu asteroid yang dulunya adalah komet itu tidaklah diam. Debu berada di lintasan orbit dan mengorbit matahari. Saat hujan meteor terjadi, terkadang terlihat meteor berekor berwarna yang indah, ada yang kuning, hijau, atau kebiruan.

"Hujan meteor ini tampak seperti bintang jatuh atau berpindah, ada yang ke atas, bawah, atau seperti bergeser ke kanan atau kiri. Seperti kembang api, karena sewaktu-waktu terlontar ke atas. Tapi hanya beberapa detik, karena sebentar saja habis terbakar dan karenanya tidak terlihat lagi," jelas Jamaluddin.

Fenomena lain di akhir tahun ini adalah gerhana bulan yang terjadi pada 21 Desember. Sayangnya peristiwa ini tidak akan bisa dilihat di sebagian besar wilayah Indonesia.

"Pada saat gerhana bulan terjadi, di Indonesia (bulan) belum terbit karena masih sore. Di Sumatera mungkin bisa terlihat di bagian akhirnya. Yang bisa melihat penuh di Asia Barat, Timur Tengah dan Afrika," terang Jamaluddin.

Sedangkan gerhana matahari akan menyambut tahun baru 2011. Sebab pada 4 Januari, fenomena alam itu akan terjadi. Gerhana yang terjadi merupakan gerhana matahari sebagian.

"Wilayah Timur Tengah dan Asia Barat bisa melihat. 2 Minggu setelah gerhana bulan atau 2 minggu sesudahnya biasanya ada gerhana matahari," tutup dosen tidak tetap IAIN Semarang ini.

MENTAL DISTURBANCES CAUSED BY ALCOHOL

2009-09-24T01:57:00.001-07:00

The concrete disasters that spring from the great bag of exciting beverages are gloomy enough, and awe-inspiring enough; but the yep model mental, moral and spiritual disasters are sadder and extra dire still. If you stir the healthy nature of the brain, which is the sincere organ over which the mind acts, you impinge the head. Embodied will not have the duplicate clearness of perception over before; nor obtain the identical cerebral oversight over the impulses and passions.

Nectareous adjustment in the body.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

In succession to dig a subject distinctly, certain general laws, or cognition, duty be practical and admitted. And here we assume, whereas a general genuineness, that health in the human body is average enticing setup on the sound plane of energy, and that scrap disturbance of that structure exposes the man to destructive influences, which are nefarious and infernal in their caliber. Superior the inborn and present plane, and resting upon perceptible, while man lives in this universe, is the mental and spiritual plane, or degree of being. This degree is in palatable categorization when the inducement is fine, and the appetites and passions unbefitting its reflective direction. But, if, ended ingredient create, this fine equipoise is disturbed, or missed, and so a street is opened for the influx of amassed expansive poison influences than identical owing to save the body, because they have power to act upon the reason and the passions, obscuring the one and inflaming the others.

We know how surely the loss of bodily health results in mental disturbance. If the seat of disease be remote from the brain, the disturbance is usually slight; but it increases as the trouble comes nearer and nearer to that organ, and shows itself in multiform ways according to character, temperament or inherited disposition; but almost always in a predominance of what is evil instead of good. There will be fretfulness, or ill - nature, or selfish exactions, or mental obscurity, or unreasoning demands, or, it may be, vicious and cruel propensities, where, when the brain was undisturbed by disease, reason held rule with patience and loving kindness. If the disease which has attacked the brain goes on increasing, the mental disease which follows as a consequence of organic disturbance or deterioration, will have increased also, until insanity may be established in some one or more of its many sad and varied forms.

Insanity.
- - - - - - - -

It is, therefore, a very serious thing for a man to take into his body any substance which, on reaching that wonderfully delicate organ the brain, sets up therein a diseased action; for, diseased mental action is sure to follow. A fever is a fever, whether it be light or intensely burning; and so any disturbance of the mind ' s rational equipoise is insanity, whether it be in the simplest form of temporary obscurity, or in the midnight of a totally darkened intellect.

We are not writing in the interest of any special theory, nor in the spirit of partisanship; but with an earnest desire to make the truth appear. You must not accept anything simply because we say it, but because he sees it to be true. Now, as to this matter of insanity, let him think calmly. The word is one that gives us a shock; and, as we hear it, we almost involuntarily thank God for the good gift of a well - balanced mind. What, if from any cause this beautiful equipoise should be disturbed and the mind lose its power to think clearly, or to hold the lower passions in due control? Shall we exceed the truth if we say that the man in whom this takes place is insane just in the degree that he has lost his rational self - control; and that he is restored when he regains that control?

In this view, the question as to the hurtfulness of alcoholic drinks assumes a new and graver aspect. Do they disturb the brain when they come in contact with its substance; and deteriorate it if the contact be long continued? Fact, observation, experience and scientific investigation all emphatically say yes; and we know that if the brain be disordered the mind, will be disordered, likewise; and a disordered mind is an insane mind. Clearly, then, in the degree that a man impairs or hurts his brain temporarily or continuously in that degree his mind is unbalanced; in that degree he is not a truly rational and sane man.

We are holding your thought just here that you may have time to think, and to look at the question in the light of reason and common sense. So far as he does this, will he be able to feel the force of such evidence as we shall educe in what follows, and to comprehend its true meaning.

Other substances besides alcohol act injuriously on the brain; but there is none that compares with this in the extent, variety and diabolical aspect of the mental aberrations which follow its use.
