Taman Balekambang ‎

REKREASI menjadi bagian penting untuk menjaga fisik dan jiwa agar terhindar dari stres dan penat akibat rutinitas sehari-hari. Rekreasi tak selalu butuh dana besar. Dengan biaya murah Anda pun bisa berekreasi di Taman Balekambang, Solo, misalnya.

Pilihan wisata murah berkualitas tidaklah banyak. Karena itu, Anda harus pintar mencarinya terlebih bila yang dicari adalah objek wisata yang cocok bagi seluruh anggota keluarga. Taman merupakan salah satu objek wisata yang bisa dijadikan pilihan.

Alasannya, ruang terbuka memberi kesempatan bagi anak-anak untuk lebih leluasa bermain di alam. Apalagi kalau taman tersebut dilengkapi arena bermain anak dan berbagai jenis satwa atau botanical garden. Alhasil, orangtua refreshing, anak-anak bisa belajar tentang lingkungan, sementara kantong tidak jebol.

Konsep wisata murah meriah, tapi multimanfaat inilah yang saat ini dikembangkan Pemkot Solo di Taman Balekambang. Tempat ini dulunya merupakan taman keluarga raja Mangkunegaran. Namun sempat terbengkalai beberapa tahun, akhirnya pemkot memutuskan untuk memolesnya menjadi taman kota.

Taman Balekambang memiliki ratusan jenis tanaman langka. Beberapa tanaman usianya sudah mencapai ratusan tahun sehingga sangat rindang. Suara kicau burung liar terdengar saling bersahutan di pepohonan yang besar. Sementara hijaunya rerumputan menjadi makanan sehari-hari sejumlah rusa yang dilepas bebas. Tak heran, pengunjung bisa memberinya makan atau sekadar menyentuhnya.

Di taman ini juga ada dua kolam yang masing-masing terdapat patung perempuan di tengahnya, yakni Partini dan Partinah. Satu kolam berukuran besar dan satunya lagi berukuran kecil. Para pengunjung bisa duduk santai di tepiannya sembari memberi makan ikan-ikan yang jenisnya beraneka ragam.

Menyusuri taman melalui jalan setapak yang ditata rapi, pengunjung dapat menikmati kesejukan layaknya yang dirasakan keluarga Kadipaten Pura Mangkunegaran pada zaman dahulu. Kursi-kursi bernuansa etnik diberbagai sudut taman siap menjadi tempat beristirahat setelah kaki lelah melangkah.

Taman Balekambang telah menjelma sebagai lokasi tujuan wisata baru di Solo, meski proses penataan baru rampung sekitar 40 persen. Tiap hari puluhan muda-mudi bercengkerama menghabiskan sebagian waktunya di sana. Tak sedikit pula keluarga besar yang datang rombongan sekadar duduk-duduk di taman.

Keluarga Tarigan Sembiring, salah satunya. Perempuan berusia 60-an tahun itu datang bersama sanak keluarganya yang berjumlah tujuh orang. Warga Siantar, Simalungun, Sumatera Utara, itu baru pertama kali mengunjungi Taman Balekambang. Di tempat itu mereka menghabiskan waktu untuk bersantai di atas tikar yang dibawanya.

“Kebetulan ada anak saya yang pindah ke Mojosongo, Solo. Ini hari keempat saya berada di sini,” ujar Tarigan.

Meski baru pertama kali, kesejukan taman memberi kesan tersendiri baginya. Salah seorang putranya bahkan sampai ketiduran di bawah rerindangan pohon.

“Tempatnya enak. Sejuk, banyak pohon dan tidak ada aroma yang tak enak. Jadi kami betah di sini,” katanya sembari menunggui cucunya yang sedang asyik bermain.

Bagi Tarigan, berwisata ke taman bukan aktivitas yang baru. Sebab, di daerah tempat tinggalnya juga terdapat taman serupa bernama Taman Bunga.

“Di sana juga ada yang seperti ini. Orang kalau mau masuk pada hari biasa gratis, tapi kalau pas ada acara tertentu pakai tiket,” ceritanya.

Sementara itu, Veronica, 15, warga Mojosongo, mengaku beberapa kali mengunjungi Balekambang. Tidak hanya ketika sendiri maupun bersama teman, tapi taman itu telah menjadi salah satu tujuan wisata favorit keluarganya.

“Kalau liburan, keluarga sering ke sini,” sebutnya.

Kepala Dinas Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata Kota Solo Purnomo Subagyo menuturkan, pemkot masih berupaya melakukan penambahan koleksi tumbuhan dan satwa. Penambahan satwa sejauh ini masih terkendala status Balekambang yang belum termasuk tempat konservasi. Karena itu, binatang yang ditambahkan selama ini lebih bersifat satwa yang tidak dilindungi, seperti merpati dan angsa.

Selain menyajikan kesejukan, tempat itu juga memiliki sarana untuk menggelar seni pertunjukan, baik indoor maupun outdoor. Masyarakat bisa mengakses fasilitas- fasilitas tersebut.

Taman itu tak hanya membuat jatuh hati masyarakat biasa. Musikus Iwan Fals pun dibuatnya kepincut. Dia bahkan sempat berpikir untuk bisa menggelar pentas di tempat itu. Namun, tidak diperbolehkan Wali Kota Solo Joko Widodo karena khawatir akan merusak taman.

“Luar biasa, di tengah kota masih ada taman seperti ini,” kata Iwan ketika mengunjungi tempat itu beberapa waktu lalu.

Unlike the mud spa in KL (Kuala Lumpur) are expensive," Nor said Erma, one of the hosts railing river.

According to him, unfortunately it does not rain for days. Because, when it rains, water discharge will increase. "If it rains, water will slightly increase up to the knee.

"Yes, the tourists from Europe is like being bitten by leeches in here. If the people of Indonesia, may not be strange. Therefore, we are still allied and similar natural conditions. But, for Europeans, it might be a thrill in itself. The evidence, they loved to gnaw leeches, "said Erma accent"-Upin Ipin ".

After lunch at their homes, participants receive a rest pause until around 14:30. Participants then are invited to make woven from rattan and cook the fish in the rivers. Afternoon activities ended with a sport "bowling" utilizing tin cans as pins and dried coconut as the ball.

The difference, in Malaysia fully supported the ministry of tourism, while Indonesia is less. Promotion, facilities, and resource development in Malaysia homestay program support provided on an ongoing basis.

According to Deputy Minister Datuk Dr James Dawos wayfaring Mamit, Malaysia is now strives to develop a more tourist-oriented economy held up well to recognize the natural life throughout Malaysia. That was done to achieve the target 38 million tourists until 2020.

In that context, Dawos outlines four areas that dealt with the Malaysian Ministry of wayfaring interests and specializes in the existing market.

Moreover, currently getting a lot of other countries to build a tower with a charm that exceed the Petronas Towers. Therefore, Malaysia is now targeting the traveler who likes the rural atmosphere, complete with spa mud and bite lintahnya.

though look good, does not mean that Milito will be guaranteed in the core squad Albicellestes. "Now my dream to be able to reach destinations in the World Cup with Argentina," specifically to the South American daily Ole.

Lomba Karikatur Nabi Muhammad di Facebook

Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) menilai kegiatan lomba membuat Karikatur Nabi Muhammad di Facebook termasuk kategori penodaan atau penistaan agama.

"Pelakunya harus dihukum berat," ujar Ketua MUI KH. Amidhan kepada INILAH.COM di Jakarta, Kamis.

Namun, Amidhan mengaku belum tahu pihak yang paling bertanggungjawab dalam kasus menggambar Nabi Muhammad di Facebook.

Hanya saja, di Indonesia pemerintah harus tegas segera menutup segala saluran Facebook yang memuat lomba menggambar Nabi Muhammad.

"Supaya materi yang berisi penghinaan dan penistaan agama tidak menyebar ke mana-mana," tegas Amidhan.

Amidhan mengatakan, MUI tidak mengharamkan Facebook karena ia hanyalah alat yang bersifat netral. "Kalau ada Facebook yang isinya tidak baik dan mengandung fitnah, ya harus ditutup," pungkas Amidhan.

Alangkah Lucunya Negeri Ini

Alangkah Lucunya Negeri Ini - Strength of the parties who want to weaken the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) through the criminalization of KPK leaders, thus still considered strong.

One effort to weaken the strength of the evidence the Commission had, was granted pretrial litigation Anggodo Assessment Letter Discontinuing Prosecutions (SKPP) Bibit Samad Rianto KPK leaders, and Chandra M Hamzah.

The statement expressed member of the House of Representatives Commission III Jamil Nasir in the discussion entitled "Seed-Chandra Drama Volume II" in Jakarta, Saturday (24 / 4). "The strength weakens the KPK is still running. So powerful parties who want to dwarf the KPK," he said.

According to Nasir, a victory over SKPP Seeds Anggodo-Chandra actually cause confusion for the public. It should, he said, this need not happen if the rule of law in an independent state. He considered, a continuing case-law of Chandra Seeds like a slapstick law.

"It's like the joke of law, no legal ketoprak, confused why people like this. How funny law enforcement in this country," he added.

According to him, weakening efforts to criminalize the Commission through his leadership, already apparent when discussing the Law of Special Court of Criminal Acts of Corruption (Corruption) in the Parliament. Nasir argues, there are certain parties who want the authority of KPK reduced.

Meanwhile, practitioners from the University of Indonesia Rudy Satrio said, waive the case in the public interest (deponering), from the side of the law requires proof of the strong.

"Many parties requested that the Attorney General chose the option deponering Seed-Chandra case, but such options do not seem to be chosen, because apparently the Attorney General has no reason to choose it," said Rudi.

Therefore, he said, deponering case from a legal standpoint, there must be strong evidence. But in this case, Rudy rate, there is evidence that does not reveal the missing link. Given this missing link, he said, the Attorney General can not prove guilt Seed-Chandra. "From Ari Muladi to the Commission, who penyampainya, who the Commission who receives, it's important evidence," he explains.

General Chairman of Indonesian Advocates Association (Peradi) Otto Hasibuan judge, in issuing policies SKPP Attorney on the case Seed-Chandra, is inappropriate. Should be, said Otto, Attorney deponering option.

"I agree it can be stopped. If it stopped there was the principle of opportunity. Deponering Attorney General could choose, waive the case is in the public interest," he said.

According to Otto, the prosecutor had stated that the file has been incomplete Seed-Chandra (P21) and proven. So the most appropriate is the case is put aside in the public interest. "Because of insufficient evidence, it must be put aside this case," he said further. With disregard for public interests, continue to Otto, then the interests of all parties, either the Attorney General and Seed-Chandra, have been accommodated in it. So no longer will be the case in question by certain parties concerned. "It has become the authority of the Attorney General in the public interest, we can not fuss," she added.

Penemuan Perahu Nabi Nuh

Perahu Nabi Nuh - Sekelompok peneliti gabungan dari China dan Turki menyatakan telah menemukan sebuah perahu bersejarah yang tertulis di dalam kitab suci 3 agama, yakni Islam, Kristiani, dan Yahudi. Perahu Nuh yang menjadi penyelamat 8 orang dan makhluk bumi lainnya itu ditemukan di sebuah daerah pegunungan di Turki bagian Timur.

Demikian ungkap salah satu tim peneliti yang tergabung dalam ‘Noah's Ark Ministries International' kepada media setempat, 26 April 2010 lalu.

"Kami belum yakin 100 persen bahwa ini benar perahu Nuh, tapi keyakinan kami sudah 99 persen," kata salah satu anggota tim yang bertugas membuat film dokumenter, Yeung Wing.

Sebagai bukti bahwa apa yang mereka katakan bukanlah hal yang mengada-ada, kelompok yang beranggotakan 15 orang tersebut menunjukkan spesimen fosil kapal yang diduga perahu Nuh, berupa tambang, paku, dan pecahan kayu kepada para wartawan yang meliput.

Mereka berharap penemuan besar ini mendorong pemerintah Turki mendaftarkan situs negara ke UNESCO. Para peneliti ingin lembaga internasional seperti PBB juga dapat ikut serta menjaga kelestarian perahu Nuh.

Sungguh besar pekerjaan Tuhan untuk menunjukkan bahwa Alkitab adalah iya dan amin. Dia memakai para peneliti zaman sekarang membuktikan bahwa apa yang terjadi ribuan tahun yang lalu adalah benar adanya. Jadi, buat apa kita tidak percaya dengan apa yang tertulis di dalam Alkitab jika sudah banyak hal didalam-Nya telah terbukti? Bahkan hal yang aneh jika masih ada orang yang mengganggap Alkitab adalah berisi dongeng-dongeng dan kata-kata bualan semata. Perlu dipertanyakan manusia yang memiliki pemikiran-pemikiran seperti ini.

Tingkat Kelulusan UN SMA

Pengumuman Kelulusan SMA 2010 - Tingkat kelulusan Ujian Nasional (UN) siswa SMA dan MA pada 2010 secara nasional melorot 4 persen dibanding 2009, yakni dari 93,74 persen menjadi 89,88 %.

Pengumuman Kelulusan- "Angka kelulusan UN tingkat SMA/MA 2010 mengalami penurunan. Namun semua ada hikmahnya," kata Menteri Pendidikan Naasional Mohammad Nuh dalam jumpa pers terkait hasil UN tingkat nasional di Jakarta, kemarin.

Total peserta UN tingkat SMA/MA 2010 sebanyak 1.522.162 siswa. Dari jumlah itu 154.079 atau 10,12 persen siswa mengulang. Jumlah siswa yang tak mengulang 1.368.083 (89,88%).

"Angka 89,88 persen adalah kelulusan UN, bukan angka kelulusan siswa. Karena siswa juga bisa dinyatakan tak lulus sekolah, meski nilai UN-nya lulus, tapi akhlak dan budi pekertinya tidak baik," kata dia.

Menurut Nuh, meningkatnya angka ketidaklulusan salah satunya terjadi pengawasan UN kali ini lebih ketat. Sehingga siswa mengerjakan soal sesuai dengan kemampuan diri.

Selain itu, pemerintah daerah juga tidak memiliki target kelulusan tertentu, sehingga pelaksanaan UN berlangsung lebih jujur.

"Contohnya Pemda Gorontalo, angka ketidaklulusan atau mengulang UN-nya cukup tinggi mencapai 46,22% dibanding tahun lalu yang hanya sebesar 1%. Hal itu menunjukkan komitmen Pemda Gorontalo dalam menjalankan Pakta Kejujuran dan Integritas,"

Handphone Nokia

Entertainment News - Proving it's still at the cutting edge, Nokia has rushed out an Ash Cloud Tracker application, available free from the Ovi store for those who still care where the Icelandic bugbear is.

Nokia - While the application is no doubt of enormous value to the residents of Orkney and the Shetlands where restrictions are still in place, the rest of Europe has rather lost interest in the cloud since flights resumed and now the attention is on how quickly the airlines can get their planes and crew back into the right places.

But if you're really interested in tracking the cloud then you can get the app from the Ovi store by searching for "ash cloud".

Don't try "Eyjafjallajökull cloud", as that won't get you anywhere, except maybe impressing those nearby with your keyboard skills.

Nokia Handphone

Sony Ericsson has two new phones lined up for an autumn release; the Sony Ericsson Zylo and Sony Ericsson Spiro, both described as 'Walkman phones' with social networking features. The Zylo also offers the FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) format for music playback, promising high-quality audio.

Jenny Maltesson, Sony Ericsson's Marketing Business Manager, said "The Sony Ericsson range of Walkman phones has seen tremendous success since it was first launched in 2005 having sold more than 130 million handsets to date – and we are still seeing a great appetite from consumers. Today’s announcement aims to satisfy this demand by making the Walkman phone range available to a wider audience."

Nokia is also on the social networking trail with its announcement of the Nokia C3, Nokia C6 and Nokia E5. The C3 is a series 40 device with a QWERTY keyboard and a sub-£100 SIM-free price while the C6 and E5 are Symbian smartphones. The two C series devices are due in Q2, the E5 is expected in Q3.

Recipes

Spring spelt pasta salad with ground elder pesto

300g spelt pasta
Ground elder pesto:

100g ground elder, top leaves only
1 small garlic clove, chopped
3 tbsp extra virgin rapeseed oil or olive oil
40g almonds
3 tbsp lemon juice
salt and freshly ground pepper

Resep - Ground elder (Aegopodium podagraria) is a member of the carrot family that generally grows in shady places. Also known as goutweed, goatweed and snow-in-the-mountain, it is said to have been introduced to Britain as a food plant by the Romans and then to Northern Europe by monks in the Middle Ages, who cultivated it as a healing herb. In spring, garden lovers spend a lot of time digging up the plants and disposing of them, but why not pick the top leaves in spring and use them in pestos or salads as you would spinach.

Pick the ground elder fresh in spring only, then rinse in cold water and drain in a colander. Place in a food processor with the other ingredients, except the salt and pepper, and blend to a smooth paste. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper and perhaps more lemon juice.

Boil the spelt pasta in lightly salted water for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain in a colander and allow it to cool down. When cool, place in a mixing bowl, mix with the ground elder pesto and season again with salt and freshly ground pepper.

If you can't pick ground elder, then use parsley, rocket or dandelion leaves (but you can only use the dandelion in spring).

Medicine

For the back story to this photograph have a look at Suppressing science, A victory for Simon Singh and BCA libels Simon Singh? For the article that upset the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) see Beware the Spinal Trap. Better still, have a look at the original article which is now back up on the Guardian web site.

Twitter erupted with messages of congratulations last night when news started coming through that the BCA had thrown in the towel. This has been a high profile case which has highlighted the danger of UK libel laws to science journalists and others. But as Hari’s T-shirt, and the story below from The Libel Reform campaign (BCA drop libel case against Simon Singh) show this isn’t over yet. There will be legal action to recover costs and the libel laws have to be changed:

The British Chiropractic Association has today dropped its libel case with science writer Simon Singh. This follows the Court of Appeal ruling on 1st April that Singh’s article on chiropractic was comment not fact.

Simon Singh has been fighting his case for two years and has spent more than 200,000 pounds. He will never recover all his costs. He said: “It still staggers me that the British Chiropractic Association and half the chiropractors in the UK were making unsubstantiated claims. It still baffles me that the BCA then dared to sue me for libel and put me through two years of hell before I was vindicated. And it still makes me angry that our libel laws not only tolerate but also encourage such ludicrous libel suits. English libel law is so intimidating, so expensive, so hostile to serious journalists that it has a chilling effect on all areas of debate, silencing scientists, journalists, bloggers, human rights activists and everyone else who dares to tackle serious matters of public interest. In the area of medicine alone, fear of libel means that good research is not always published because those with vested interests might sue, and bad research that should be withdrawn is not pulled because the authors might sue the journal, and in both cases it is the public that loses out because the truth is never exposed. My victory does not mean that our libel laws are okay, because I won despite the libel laws – we still have the most notoriously anti-free speech libel laws in the free world.”

Simon Singh:“The good news is that all three main parties this week committed to a libel reform bill in the next Parliament. But libel reform has to be radical. Cutting costs by a half means that a trial will not cost 1 million pounds but cost 500,000 pounds, but this is still extortionate. Costs need to be cut by a factor of 10 at least. Moreover the current libel law still means that libel tourists can sue in London on spurious grounds, big companies can still bully lone journalists, we still lack a robust public interest defence and we still have an unfair burden of proof on writers. It is important to remember that another libel case involving medicine continues – Dr Peter Wilmshurst is a consultant cardiologist who is being sued for libel for raising serious concerns about the data relating to a new heart device. If Dr Wilmshurst loses his case then he will be bankrupted. It is ridiculous that a respected researcher such as Dr Wilmshurst, someone who has devoted his life to medicine, should be put under such pressure just for speaking his mind. Our libel laws discourage doctors, scientists and journalists from speaking out. It is only when Peter has hopefully defended his libel case that I will be able to celebrate. It is only when English libel law has been reformed that I will be able enjoy today’s victory. Unless our libel laws change urgently and radically, I will not be the last journalist hauled through the libel courts and who will have to face financial disaster and two years of hell simply for raising an important and valid matter of public interest.”

Simon Singh:“One of the good things to come out of the last two years is that the chiropractic profession has been put under intense scrutiny. One in four chiropractors in the UK is now being investigated for making allegedly misleading claims, the Advertising Standards Authority has ruled against many chiropractic claims and the British Chiropractic Association has removed many claims from its website. None of this would have happened if I had backed down and the BCA has successfully silenced my article.”

Simon Singh:“The case is not quite over, because we still have to argue over costs. Having backed down and dropped the case, I expect the British Chiropractic Association to pay my legal bill of 200,000 pounds. I fully expect the BCA to argue that they should not pay all my costs, but I think it is the very least that they should do because this entire legal battle has been instigated by the BCA. I will never get back the two years that I have wasted on this case when I should have been writing a new book and I will never get back all the time I should have had with friends and family, which instead was replaced with continual stress, anxiety and ridiculously tedious legal documents. Fortunately the case has ended when my son Hari is only three weeks old, so I can now relax and enjoy being a father. My wife is a journalist and she been fully supportive throughout, and without her backing and the support of family, friends, scientists, bloggers and many others I suspect I would not have had the morale to keep fighting this case until the end.”

Susno Duadji

Susno Duadji - If there was ever an unlikely reformer, it is Susno Duadji, formerly the Indonesian National Police head of detectives, who was caught dead to rights by the country's anti-corruption agency for helping key officials ensnared in the notorious Bank Century scandal to flee the country. Susno was forced out of his position because of the scandal and was lucky he wasn't indicted. He remains in limbo in an unspecified capacity with the national police force.

But in the wake of his ouster, Susno has suddenly started blowing the whistle on his former associates. His revelations have caused an uproar in the entire national law enforcement establishment as he grants interviews to virtually every news organization that wants to listen.

What he is delivering has nothing to do with a sudden about turn in conscience. It appears to have more to do with injured pride and the machinations against President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's reform team by the Golkar Party, headed by coal tycoon Aburizal Bakrie.

In March, Susno raised a storm by accusing three police officials, then identified only by their rank and initials – which meant it wouldn't be hard to figure out who they were -- of taking bribes from a mid-ranking tax official named Gayus Tambunan to bury a criminal probe after he was discovered to have Rp28 billion (US$3.1 million) in his bank account. The case has since ensnared the Attorney General's Office, top officials of the National Police and the Tangerang District Court as well the Directorate General of Taxation and a number of companies.

Despite the revelations over Tambunan's bank accounts, the Tangerang District Court acquitted the tax official of embezzlement on March 12 and he promptly left Jakarta for Singapore with Susno sounding the alarm. Tambunan surrendered to police in Singapore. On Friday, the national police chief dismissed Police Brig. Gen. Edmond Ilyas, the former head of economic crimes, from his new job as Lampung Police Chief on information based on Susno's accusations. Brig. Gen. Radja Erisman, the current director of economic crimes, is also believed to have been implicated by Susno, partly because he unfroze Tambunan's bank accounts, which allowed him to flee. Ilyas and Erismana have filed criminal defamation complaints against Susno over his allegations, saying they were innocent of the charges.

Reportedly investigators have evidence that Ilyas received at least Rp1.1 billion from Tambunan and Andi Kosasih, a Batam businessman who was said to be "helpful in connecting entrepreneurs with officials, especially entrepreneurs who have difficulty in obtaining business licenses."

Two more police officials, Comdr. Arafat Enanie and Adj. Comr. Sri Sumartini, are also suspects after it turned out that they questioned Tambunan in the relaxed atmosphere of Jakarta hotels rather than at National Police headquarters during the earlier probe of the tax official. Enanie is said to have received a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, a Toyota Fortuner and a house from Tambunan, a police source said. "We already seized all of that as evidence, while Sumartini got Rp100 million in cash, which she used to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca." Arafat is also said to have received bribes from PT Mega Cipta Jaya Garmindo, a company that allegedly transferred funds into Gayus's accounts.

The Attorney General's Office is equally embarrassed over the way its prosecutors handled the case that ended with Tambunan's acquittal. Last week, Attorney General Hendarman Supandji was forced to stumble into a statement that they had not been bribed to dismiss the charges. Instead, he blamed "thoughtlessness," saying they were overloaded with big cases.

The falling police officials led Eliswan Azly, a columnist writing for Antara, the government-owned and operated news service, to write that Susno had shown "unprecedented courage in publicly disclosing case-brokering practices in the police force" and quoted officials recommending that he take up the post of Head of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK),which became vacant after the former anti-graft chief, Antasari Azhar, was convicted of arranging the murder of a rival for an attractive female golf caddy's affections.

Despite Antasari's conviction, the KPK is widely considered to be the most unbuyable public agency in Indonesia. It was Susno, during the Bank Century case, who did his best to wreck the agency, ordering the arrest of two KPK commissioners who had wiretap evidence that he had been advising corrupt officials at the bank and helping one of them to escape to Singapore.

Susno's candidacy is being pushed from behind the scenes by Golkar, which remains a component of the national ruling coalition headed by Yudhoyono. Despite its seeming loyalty to Yudhoyono, however, Golkar, at Bakrie's behest, spent months embroiled in a House of Representatives probe of Yudhoyono's two most important reformers, Vice President Boediono and Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati over allegations of their complicity in the Bank Century affair. The government poured more than US$710 million into the effort to save the ailing bank during the 2008 global financial crisis. Yudhoyono managed to retain the two officials despite the investigation and pressure from Golkar.

The KPK is a particular bête noir of Susno's. The agency wiretapped Susno in connection to a graft case involving fugitive businessman Anggoro Widjojo, the director of a company called PT Mararo Radiokom, who allegedly bribed at least four lawmakers and several forestry ministry officials in connection with an Rp180 billion (US$12.7 million) radio communication system procurement project for the Forestry Ministry. Anggoro fled the country for Singapore.

Anti-corruption reportedly discovered that Susno had met with Anggoro in Singapore three days after the agency named had him a suspect in the bribery case.

Susno promptly ordered the two KPK officials arrested for allegedly abusing their powers. It was only after weeks of vacillation and rising public anger that Yudhoyono finally came down on the officials' side and Susno was pushed out.

Now Susno is pushing back. He has also said two police brigadier generals have been acting as case brokers in money laundering and tax evasion cases. Watch this space.

"Despicable slimeball as he is, Susno deserves all our support and encouragement for the time being," wrote a blogger who writes on the "Unspun" site. "This is because he is the guy who knows where all the skeletons are buried in the Police Force. And now that he's been done out of a career in the Police Force, sacrificed, as it were by fellow slimeballs and corrupt officers, he's now out for revenge by spilling the beans on his former comrades."

Pidato Presiden Sudan

Presiden Sudan Omar al-Bashir yakin pemilihan umum di negaranya akan berlangsung "bebas dan fair."

Dalam pidato kampanyenya, Bashir mengatakan pemilihan umum akan berlangsung bersih sebagaimana "sebuah tugas negara."

Untuk pertama kalinya pemilihan umum di Sudan diikuti oleh banyak partai sejak 1986, sekaligus menjadi negara demokratis terbesar di Afrika.

Namun sejumlah partai oposisi besar menolak ikut serta dalam pemilihan umum tersebut. Mereka akan memboikot karena menduga ada kecurangan.

Sementara itu, partai-partai oposisi kecil menyatakan akan mengikuti pemilihan umum di kawasan Utara. Sedangkan partai besar SPLM hanya ikut pemilihan umum di wilayah Selatan.

Proses pemilihan umum mendapatkan kritik keras dari kelompok hak asasi manusia internasional dan dalam negeri.

Koresponden BBC di James Copnall di Khartoum mengatakan, Bashir menolak kritikan tersebut serta menyingkirkan tuntutan kelompok oposisi yang menuntut pemilihan umum yang semula diselenggarakan Ahad diundur Selasa.

Selama berkampanye, presiden aktif mengumumkan proyek-proyek pembangunan baru di setiap kota yang dikunjungi. Demikian laporan koresponden BBC.

"Pemilihan umum akan berlangsung fair, bebas, bersih, dan bagus," kata Bashir dalam sebuah pertemuan di utara Sudan.

"Mereka akan berlaku bersih karena ini bagian dari tugas agama," jelasnya dalam pidato yang disiarkan televisi pemerintah.

Tiger Woods Back

Vegetables Recipes - The flyover was timed to the second, the kind of precise operation the old boys at Augusta National Golf Club really might have appreciated under different circumstances.

A few moments after Tiger Woods hit his first competitive tee shot in more than five months, he was striding down the first fairway, applause all around from the largest gallery these eyes have seen at the Masters, when the little airplane came into view above the tree tops, churning into the wind and tugging a sign in its wake.

“HEY TIGER, DID YOU MEAN BOOTY-ISM?” said the sign.

This was a flippant reference to Woods’ comments that one of the reasons for his many sexual “transgressions” is that he grew apart from Buddhism, the teachings he says used to keep him centred.

Whatever. Yes Tiger will remain the butt of jokes but, if nothing else, these 18 holes of golf he played yesterday answered two of the major questions hanging over his head. One, is he ready to play? And, two, “Does anybody care that Tiger has been revealed as a serial philanderer, as long as he’s playing golf?”

Yes, Tiger is ready. He shot 68, his lowest first round ever at the Masters.

“I expected to shoot something under par,” Woods said. “Guys were just tearing this place apart. Most of the tees were up. If you drove the ball well you could get some short irons in your hands.”

As for No. 2, from the moment Woods appeared on the first tee, with patrons lined 30-deep on each side of the fairway, there wasn’t a patch of open grass anywhere near one of his fairways. Humanity occupied every open space. They cheered and called his name, watching his every move.

“The reception was incredible all day,” Woods said. “From the putting green to the practice tee back to the first tee, just incredible. I was saying thank you all day. The people were just incredible.”

They went berserk when he eagled the par-five eighth but the moment that everyone will remember that says “Tiger is back” occurred one hole later.

With skies darkening and a tornado watch already in effect, Woods knocked his drive down the left side of the ninth fairway, totally blocking his vision of the green and the pin, 207 yards away. He needed to hit a big sweeping hook with his five-iron to even catch a piece of the green, let alone access the pin witch was back left.

He took a mighty swipe and then ran, bad knee, achilles and all, a-la Sergio Garcia, circa 1999, toward the fairway to get a look. So much for the calmer, less demonstrative Tiger. The ball hooked on command, bouncing up the green past the hole. It settled for a moment on the fringe then trickled back toward the pin, coming to rest 12 feet from the hole.

Of course he made the delicate downhill putt and the crowd made its own thunder. This was what everyone had been missing. This is why he is the most recognizable face in the world of sport. This is why he’s sport’s first billionaire (at least temporarily). This is why all these people came: The man does things on a golf course nobody else can do.

Nobody is going to forget the stunning revelations of the past five months. Some will not forgive but most believe it’s none of our business. Still, Woods has been stained, perhaps for life.

Daftar Cedera ‎

KENYATAAN pahit harus dihadapi Arsenal. Menghadapi laga penentuan melawan Barcelona, klub berjuluk The Gunners ini dipastikan kehilangan satu pilarnya lagi. Daftar pemain Arsenal yang harus masuk ruang perawatan bertambah seiring masuknya nama Alex Song.

Bek yang sejatinya diplot mengisi posisi yang ditinggalkan William Gallas ini dipastikan absen pada leg kedua perempatfinal Liga Champions karena mengalami cedera otot pangkal paha. Cedera itu menimpanya ketika pemain Timnas Kamaerun tersebut tampil menghadapi Wolverhamton Wanderers pada lanjutan English Premier League (EPL), akhir pekan lalu.

"Sebuah kejutan yang tidak mengenakkan bagi kami. Dia menjalani pemindaian kemarin sore pada lututnya dan diketahui ada pembengkakan cartilage," jelas manajer Arsene Wenger dikutip Sky Sports.

Kabar tak mengenakkan itu menjadi pukulan telak bagi Wenger. Sebelumnya, Arsenal sudah kehilangan Gallas, Cesc Fabregas dan Andrei Arshavin. Adapun Robin Van Persie juga belum menunjukkan tanda-tanda bisa bermain dalam waktu dekat.

"Kami masih harus menunggu dan melihat seberapa serius cederanya, tapi bisa dipastikan dia absen untuk laga besok (dini hari WIB nanti)," pungkas Wenger. roq

Tekad Iran Lebih Bulat‎

Presiden Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad mengatakan, ancaman sanksi terhadap Iran karena program nuklir Iran hanya akan membuat Iran lebih bertekad bulat untuk mengusahakan program nuklirnya.

Ahmadinejad mengatakan tekanan internasional terhadap Iran tidak dapat menghentikan kemajuan Republik Islam itu dan justru memotivasi rakyatnya. Ia mengeluarkan komentar tadi dalam pidato lewat televisi dari kota Sirjan, Iran Selatan.

Sebelumnya, Presiden Amerika Barack Obama menyerukan kepada para anggota Dewan Keamanan PBB agar menyetujui rangkaian keempat sanksi terhadap Iran karena kegiatan nuklir negara itu.

Presiden Ahamdinejad juga mengatakan Presiden Obama telah gagal mendesakkan perubahan nyata apapun dalam kebijakan Amerika terhadap Iran, meskipun Obama berjanji akan meningkatkan keterlibatan Iran dalam perundingan.

Amerika dan sekutu-sekutunya mencurigai Iran sedang berusaha mengolah uranium untuk mengembangkan senjata nuklir, namun Iran telah menyangkal tuduhan tersebut.

Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro

Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro - The Vivaz Pro is set to launch in April, which means that Sony Ericsson is producing the QWERTY keypad edition of its HD video- enabled smartphone far sooner than anticipated.

The Vivaz Pro has appeared as a pre-order item on an online retail site with an RRP of £339.99.

Sony Ericsson had not divulged the exact release date for the Vivaz Pro and most had expected it to come to market in May - at around the same time that the Xperia X10 Mini is scheduled to arrive.

The Vivaz Pro could attract some customers, but observers have pointed out that its pricing leaves it in direct competition with the Samsung Wave.

Sony Ericsson's mobile phone is a nice bit of kit, but the Wave looks to be at least its equal thanks to its large Super AMOLED screen and HD capabilities.

Messi Pasti Jadi Starter

Pelatih Argentina Diego Maradona memuji Lionel Messi yang makin matang di usianya yang baru 22. Maradona juga menjamin bakal menjadikan Messi starter di Piala Dunia 2010. Menurutnya meski masih muda, namun bintang Barcelona itu 'makin dewasa dengan langkah yang besar'.

 "Saya melihat Messi sebagai pemain yang fantastis dengan skill yang luar biasa. Kebahagiaan juga terpancar pada dirinya saat bermain. Dia dipastikan menjadi starter bersama Javier Mascherano," ujar Maradona.

Maradona juga mengaku dipusingkan dengan persaingan lini depan tim yang ketat. Pasalnya, Argentina memiliki banyak striker bagus. Tercatat Gonzalo Higuain, Sergio 'Kun' Aguero, Carlos Tevez, Diego Milito, Ezequiel Lavezzi, dan Martin Palermo, akan bersaing untuk mendapatkan tempat di skuad Argentina.

"Kami memiliki banyak striker di liga Eropa. Sulit untuk mengabaikan mereka. Persoalannya, saya hanya bisa membawa 23 pemain," kata Maradona.

Argentina akan berujicoba melawan Kanada di Buenos Aires pada 24 Mei mendatang. Mereka yang diturunkan dalam ujicoba itu hampir dipastikan masuk skuad yang dibawa ke Afrika Selatan.

Freida Pinto Gadis Bond

AKTRIS Slumdog Millionaire Freida Pinto dikabarkan segera memainkan gadis agen mata-mata Inggris terkenal, James Bond, selanjutnya. Bintang, 24, asal India itu akan terlihat bersama Daniel Craig dalam film 007 mendatang yang akan disutradarai oleh Sam Mendes. Menurut contactmusic.com, lokasi syuting akan diambil di Afghanistan.

Sementara itu, aktris Olivia Wilde dilaporkan juga dalam pembicaraan untuk membintangi gadis Bond yang kedua. "Sam (Mendes) telah berbicara tentang Bond selama beberapa bulan terakhir dan ia sangat bersemangat. Freida selalu diimpikan menjadi gadis Bond. Masalahnya, pada awal, ia merasa gugup menerima itu, "kata seorang sumber.

Film Bond nanti akan menjadi yang paling ambisius dari yang sebelumnya. Pasalnya, Sam berencana untuk membangkitkan kembali film genre ini.

Peter Morgan, yang menulis The Queen, telah menulis draf naskah pertama. Dijanjikan, film terbaru bakal memiliki visual yang menakjubkan.

Cinta Lama Bersemi Kembali

Film yang berdurasi hampir dua jam ini sayang untuk dilewatkan. Lucu, manusia dan sangat mungkin terjadi bagi siapa saja yang pernah merasakan cinta. Cinta lama bersemi kembali. Seperti itulah kira kira kisah cinta yang ada dalam film It's complicated. Yaitu kisah dua orang manusia yang sudah berumur yang dulu pernah hidup bersama dan harus berpisah karena perbedaan prinsip, tapi kemudian dua orang yang dulu pernah mencicipi nikmatnya sebuah kehidup berumahtangga ini bertemu kembali dan merasakan kembali benih-benih yang dulu pernah ada.

Nancy Meyer, sutradara film ini sepertinya memahami betul di peruntukkan kepada siapa film ini. Karena beberapa adegan konyol yang mewarnai hampir disetiap adegan dalam film ini ternyata mampu menggelitik tawa penonton. Tentu saja ini tak lepas dari akting dari para pemainnya seperti Alec Baldwin, Steven Martin dan Meryl Streep salah satu aktris peraih Golden Globe.

Tangan dingin sang sutradara Nancy Meyer dan jam terbangnya dalam membuat film tentunya juga tak bisa diabaikan begitu saja. Beberapa film yang pernah dibuat antara lain adalah What Women Want (2000), Something's Gotta Give (2003) dan The Holiday (2006).

Kembali ke film it's complicated. Film ini mengisahkan tentang Jane (Meryl Streep) seorang ibu rumah tangga yang memiliki tiga orang anak dan telah bercerai dengan mantan suaminya Jake (Alec Baldwin) selama 10 tahun. Jane yang sudah berhasil menata hidupnya kembali setelah ditinggal oleh Jake, kini dibuat bingung dengan kelakuan Jake yang mencoba untuk rujuk kembali, meskipun Jake telah menikah lagi dengan Agness (Lake Bell) wanita lebih muda dan cantik darinya.

Awal kedekatan mereka dimulai saat acara wisuda anak mereka Luke (Hunter Parish) di New York. Keduanya kembali bertemu dan mengenang kisah indah mereka di sebuah bar hotel tempat mereka menginap. Ternyata kemesraan mereka berlanjut setelah acara wisuda sang anak dan semakin panas. Lalu apakah mereka akan bersatu kembali?

Sang sutradara Nancy Meyer rupanya mampu dengan cerdas mengkombinasikan antara scene yang bisa membuat kita tertawa terpingkal-pingkal saat Jane dan Jake kembali tidur bersama setelah sepuluh tahun. Saat itu tangan Jake diletakkan di atas kemaluan Jane yang ditutupi oleh selimut pastinya, sambil berkata, “home sweet home” yang kontan membuat kita yang menyaksikan adegan itu langsung tertawa. Belum lagi akting yang dilakukan oleh Adam salah seorang komedian Steven Martin yang menambah bumbu yang manis dalam film ini.

Namun dibalik kelucuan yang disajikan para bintang-bintang di film ini, It's Complicated juga membawa pesan yang dalam tentang hubungan rumah tangga. Bagaimana antara suami dan istri, anak, dan orang tua, harus saling menghormati secara utuh. (ida)

Rumah Menghadap Sungai

Sungai Bawah Laut - Dari tengah Sungai Musi, atap-atap rumah bergaya limas di Desa Air Balui, Kecamatan Muara Lakitan, Kabupaten Musi Rawas, Sumatera Selatan, tampak berebut ruang terbuka. Genteng berwarna merah bata atau coklat kehitaman itu berpadu apik dengan rumah-rumah panggung terbuat dari kayu yang umumnya sudah berusia tua.

Video Sungai Bawah Laut - ”Rumah ini sudah dihuni sejak kakek kami. Saya generasi ketiga yang menempati rumah ini,” kata Sa’ad (36), warga Air Balui, tentang rumahnya, Rabu (10/3) siang.

Beberapa tiang dan papan rumah itu sudah terlihat lapuk dimakan usia, sementara kaca jendela masih menggunakan kaca patri yang saat ini sudah sulit ditemukan.

Rumah seluas 66 meter persegi itu diperkirakan sudah berusia 100 tahun lebih. Posisi rumah persis menghadap Sungai Musi, dengan jalan beton selebar satu meter di depan- nya.

”Dulu, jalan depan rumah ini adalah jalan besar. Karena erosi terjadi terus-menerus, jalan terkikis dan dipindah ke belakang rumah,” tambah Neli (30), istri Sa’ad.

Jalan besar baru sebagai penghubung Kabupaten Musi Rawas dengan Kabupaten Musi Banyuasin itu dipindah sejak tahun 1980-an. Jalan provinsi ini menjadi penghubung jalan lintas timur (jalintim) dengan jalan lintas tengah (jalinteng) Sumatera. Jalan baru tersebut berjarak sekitar 50 meter dari jalan lama yang sudah hilang.

Jika boleh memilih, lanjut Sa’ad, dia lebih suka tinggal di rumah di tepi jalan. ”Lebih enak karena bisa jualan, buka toko, atau buka jasa penyewaan,” ungkapnya.

Jaya Kusuma, warga Desa Ngulak I, Sanga Desa, pun mengakui lebih enak jika rumahnya menghadap jalan. Rumah Jaya menghadap sungai yang di sisinya dibangun jalan beraspal hotmix.

”Sejak saya belum lahir, rumah-rumah di sini menghadap sungai. Saya mendengar dari orangtua sejak zaman Belanda,” kata Jaya.

Erni (23), warga Desa Ngulak I lainnya, mengaku sangat menikmati rumahnya yang menghadap ke sungai. ”Pemandangannya bagus. Apalagi di depan rumah juga ada jalan raya di tepi Sungai Musi. Jalan ini lebih tinggi dari permukaan sungai sehingga tidak pernah terjadi luapan air yang menggenangi jalan dan rumah penduduk,” jelas ibu satu anak.

Dia mengaku rumah yang ditempati merupakan warisan dari leluhur mereka. Kini, generasi keempat yang tinggal rumah itu. Bangunan dari kayu itu tampak masih kokoh.

Teacher Accused of Sending Photos of Herself

Melinda Dennehy - A New Hampshire high school teacher is accused of "sexting" a 15-year-old student.Court documents claim Melinda Dennehy, a 41-year-old sophomore English teacher, mailed the teenager four nude photos of herself and continuously sent sexually explicit text messages.

Melinda Dennehy Pics - The boy emailed the photos to two other students, according to court documents, and kids in the town of Londonderry say the pictures were circulating around the school.

The boy's father brought the case to police, showing officers an email of the photos.

The teacher was put on administrative leave by the school last week and turned herself in on Friday.

She is currently free on personal recognizance bail, ordered not to go on school property nor have contact with anyone under 16.

Her arraignment is set for March 23rd.

Wear With Ugg Boots

Nancy Benoit - The question of what to wear with ugg boots is a simple one to answer. This popular style of boot can be worn with just about anything. There are no fashion rules when it comes to wearing these boots. In fact, it seems that wearing this style of boot breaks almost every fashion-related rule.

Nancy Benoit Hustler Pics - Ugg boots are available in many different colors and styles and it is this enormous selection which makes the boots so versatile and desirable. The styles run the gamut from the casual look of the standard three quarter boot in a natural shade to the flamboyant and funky long haired pink boot. Whatever color you can think of, the sheep skin can be dyed to match.

People are wearing these popular boots to the office, on the dance floor, out to dinner, and while on vacation to the slopes or to the shores. Whatever look you are trying to achieve, you can achieve it with ugg boots. And these boots are not geared towards any one segment of society. Men, women, children and infants can all find a pair of ugg boots to match their size and their style.

Think wearing boots at the beach sounds crazy? Well, this is what surfers did back in the seventies. In fact, even though sheep skin boots had been around for quite some time, it was surfers who started the craze. Australia is a great place to surf, and since ugg boots are made from Australian sheep skin their existence was already well-known in the land down under. After emerging from Australia’s cold ocean waters, surfers needed something which could quickly warm their feet. They found their answer in ugg boots. These boots became as essential a part of a surfer’s gear as a surfboard. As Australian surfers traversed the globe in search of the perfect wave, they took their boots along and in no time at all, the popularity of the sheep skin boot exploded.

Ugg boots that are made from genuine sheep skin can be worn in all types of weather. When one thinks of boots, one tends to relate boots to cold weather. While it is true that these boots will keep feet warm in temperatures as low as 30ºF, the sheep skin encourages air circulation which helps to keep feet cool even as the ambient temperature climbs. The natural wicking action of the sheep skin draws perspiration and other sources of moisture away from the skin.

These boots are comfortable, too, fitting as snugly as a second skin. And because they are comfortable, people are wearing them everywhere with everything. The styles of ugg boots range from tall to short and everywhere in between. There are clog styles and slipper styles. Tie up laces, top-stitching, buckles and snaps are just some of the accessories that can be added to these boots to change the appearance. There are styles for achieving an ultra feminine look or the rugged mountain-man look. Ugg boots are available in black, brown, brown, blue, purple, red, natural, gray, off-white and more.

So break out of your fashion rule mentality and let your imagination go wild. Get yourself a pair of ugg boots and wear them with you jeans, wear them to work on casual Friday, or pair them up with your Sunday best. Wear these functional yet attractive boots in daily life and even while on vacation. If celebrities can wear them during breaks in filming and children can wear them to school, and if Aussies can wear them out in the sheep shearing sheds, then you can wear them too.

Things To Do In And Around Melbourne

Melbourne is the capital of Victoria, Australia. Melbourne offers great shopping and dining and Victoria has got a beautiful countryside and coast line combining beautiful national and state parks with quiet little towns and some larger regional centres. Phillip Island is a charming island with some big tourist attractions like the penguin parade and the Motor Racing Grand Prix. It is a great place to go for a short break, relax and be one with nature.

Phillip Island is located about 90 minutes away from Melbourne, Phillip Island is linked to the mainland by a bridge connecting the mainland town of San Remo to the island town of Newhaven. Once you have arrived there are plenty of accommodations for staying overnight on the island. Hotels are located in the main township of Cowes and other towns on the island. Beach side apartments can be found on the islands seaside villages. Resorts, camping sites and caravan rentals also allow guests different ways of experiencing the island.

Phillip Island draws over 3.5 million tourists each year and the primary reason for that is the penguin parade. The penguin parade allows visitors a chance to see the world's smallest species of penguins up close. Australia is one of the few places in the world where this species of penguin is found. At the Phillip Island Nature Park, an area has been set aside specifically for viewing. Just after the sun sets down, the fairy penguins as they are often called return from fishing in the sea to their sand dune burrows. You can witness as the penguins return to the island in groups; the entire process lasts about 50 minutes.

The lights and elevated boardwalks make it easy for you to see the penguins. You can't make photographs, but you can see the little penguins from only a few feet away. They are a mesmerizing breed and you will find yourself not able to stop looking at them. Additionally, visitors must stay within the designated areas to not disturb the animals. You should also remember to dress warmly when you come have a look at the penguins. At night by the seaside you can easily get cold as my family has experienced in a number of occassions!

Though penguins might be the main draw, there is much more wildlife to experience on Phillip Island. The Noobies Centre offers an interactive look at marine life through high tech cameras that capture their every move while removing unobtrusive. You can see sea bird colonies, sharks, seals and dolphins as well as the island's beautiful south coast. The Blowhole is a sea cave that is must see during high tide as it can shoot out sea spray. A visit to the Koala Conservation Centre will give you a treetop view of koalas and native island birds.

Just offshore of Newhaven is the historic Churchill Island. This historic working farm dating back to the late 1800s includes sheep, chickens, Clydesdale horses and peacocks. This is where you can walk through beautiful woodlands showcasing the islands birdlife and trees hundreds of years old.

If you are interested in a more action oriented trip, you will be glad to know that Phillip Island does not disappoint with popular activities including fishing, boating scuba diving and island walks. Cape Woolamai offers one of the best panoramic views of the island for taking a walk. Its beach is also popular among professional surfers looking for strong rips and currents. For swimming the north side of the island is better as the seas tend to be a little less rough.

Fans of motorsport will not be disappointed when touring Phillip Island. The island was the original home to the Australian Grand Prix and the Bathurst 1000. The Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit is the current home of the motorcycle version of the Grand Prix and is the host venue for a number of other motorsport events. The Visitor Centre covers the history of the motor racing on the island and provides a guided tour of the circuit.

So you see, Phillip Island, despite its' size, has got a wide variety of attractions. When you visit Melbourne for longer than a few days I would definitely recommend you come check out the Penguin Parade at least. Those little creatures are really wonderful. Anything else is up to the time you have available and what you want to do, but you can definitely spend a day or two on the island without getting bored. Spend any longer and you run the risk of falling in love with Phillip Island and never wanting to leave again!
