Mahfud MD: Ambil Langkah yang Mana?: "Washington DC, November 20, 2012
Untuk kali ini saya ingin memberikan tanggapan terhadap tulisan Mas Prayitno Ramelan yang berjudul
“Langkah Pak Mahfud yang Berani Mengambil Resiko.” mengenai diri dan keputusan serta pernyataan umum nya.
Hal ini saya secara pribadi tidak mengenal beliau, jadi saya tidak mengetahui kehidupan Mahfud MD secara pribadi. Karena beliau kini ketua MK yang mengambil keputusan mengenai pembubaran BP Migas serta memberikan pernyataan Dugaan mengenal Mafia Narkoba di Istana, sehubungan pemberian grasi Presiden kepada narapidana yang bernama Ola."

Teringat tubuh mungil mu dalam lipatan kain lusuh…
Tertidur dengan nyenyak tak bergerak…
Tertidur dalam gendongan bergoyang perlahan…

When when men look outside, do they see houses
Instead of the fields they grew from
We are Constantly uprooted from them, making us tiresome and fearful
Can you get up right now, endeavor to freefall (Off)
You can fall if you want to It's just a matter of how far
You've treasured our home town
But you've forgotten where you are

Blog | MMC Institute: "We have seen increasing numbers of people with a cluster of issues and symptoms associated with the stress of sudden success or wealth. Many of these people have struck it rich through their entrepreneurial ventures and corporate stock options. Others, as a consequence of inheritance are among the heirs of the largest inter-generational transfer of wealth in American history.
MMCI coined the term “Sudden Wealth Syndrome” to describe the psychological issues that are associated with new or sudden wealth. MMCI programs and services address the risks and opportunities of new or sudden wealth.
Why is this a problem? For most of us, winning the lottery or striking it rich would solve all our problems!"

Watching 49 Quadrocopters Fly and Swarm Across the Night Sky Is Pretty Freaky
Watching 49 Quadrocopters Fly and Swarm Across the Night Sky Is Pretty Freaky: "There's something unnerving about watching quadrocopters fly and dart around. It gets even creepier when the quadrocopters team up and become a giant swarm, morphing into different shapes like a living organism. So you can imagine what watching 49 quadrocopters littering the sky feels like. It's like seeing aliens on Earth.
The awesome show was blasted on the sky of Linz, Austria. According to DVICE, The AscTec Hummingbird quadrocopters teamed up for a show called, "The Cloud in the Web" and was programmed by Ars Electronica Futurelab and Ascending Technologies GmbH. I would probably pee my pants if I saw these flying killers in the sky."

We're Now Pretty Certain Life on Earth Is 3.5 Billion Years Old
We're Now Pretty Certain Life on Earth Is 3.5 Billion Years Old: "The Earth is 4.5 billion years old. But what about the life that exists on it? We've thought since 2006 that biological activity in the form of stromatolites—ancient layered geological structures—first appeared here 3.5 billion years ago, and now we have even more evidence to prove it.
Scientists took to the Strelley Pool Formation in Australia to check out the sulfur some rock formations that got there as a result of biological activity. They've looked at these deposits before, but this time they analyzed them through a different technique—analyzing the distribution of isotopes in each layer rather than on the whole—and their findings corroborated previous conclusion.

Though it doesn't have the magazine, it's fairly common to see to see scenes like this in the country over the summer. She's presumably an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) solider, meaning she's required to carry her weapon with her at all times. And even if she was just showing off, she looked incredibly badass doing so. [Reddit]

After enjoying the architecture of old Batik Factory, we continued to the first destination of Surakarta Prince Residence, Ndalem Sasonomulyo. Uniquely, we did not enter front the main gate of the residence (south gate), but we entered from back part of the residence in which we needed to pass crowded housing area which is called as mager sari. Mager sari is the concept of living in an area owned by more respected or prosperous people especially the king; without paying and without owning the land. Basically people who do mager sari are abdi dalem (Royal assistant) From the northern gate, we directly saw the front part of the rooms in eastern side of the residence."

Bottom Line - Oops! $100,000 electric car flunks track test
Bottom Line - Oops! $100,000 electric car flunks track test: "DETROIT -- Remember when heartthrob Justin Bieber received a Fisker Karma luxury hybrid for his 18th birthday earlier this month on the Ellen DeGeneres Show? Well, he may be driving a lemon.
A $100,000-plus Fisker sports car died during Consumer Reports speed testing this week for reasons that are still unknown, leaving the struggling electric car startup with another blow to its image.
"It is a little disconcerting that you pay that amount of money for a car and it lasts basically 180 miles before going wrong," David Champion, senior director for the magazine's automotive test center, told Reuters, on Thursday."

The world's top billionaires 2012 - global wealth - MSN Money: "2012: New records, new trends
Forbes's first annual list of the world's billionaires, published a quarter-century ago, had 140 names. This year, a record 1,226 billionaires made the list, with a combined net worth of $4.6 trillion, also a record and up from $4.5 trillion in 2011.

Tornado drops boy on highway, 350 ft. from home
MSNBC
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A 7-year-old boy who was sucked from his home by a tornado on Friday and dropped 350 feet away on the side of an interstate is home from the hospital, recovering from his injuries.
Jamal Stevens suffered only minor injuries from the twister that demolished his family's two-story home in Charlotte near Interstate 485, where Jamal was found by his family a few minutes after the twister struck his neighborhood.
"I've never seen or heard anything like that," said Patricia Stevens, recalling the moment the twister "sucked out the walls" of the house in the darkness. "It was a terrible sound. I never want to go through that again. I don't want anyone to ever go through that again."
Penyebab Esemka Tak Lolos Versi Produsen | otomotif | Tempo.co
Penyebab Esemka Tak Lolos Versi Produsen | otomotif | Tempo.co: "TEMPO.CO, Cianjur - Direktur Utama PT. Solo Manufaktur Kreasi, Sulistyo Rabono, mengatakan penyebab mobil Esemka Rajawali tidak lolos uji emisi adalah masih menggunakan Catalytic Conventer (CC) versi lama. Conventer itu tersebut kemungkinan besar tidak bisa mengonversi gas buang menjadi rendah emisi.
"Kami akan segera menggantinya dengan versi baru," kata Sulistyo saat dihubungi Tempo, Jumat, 2 Maret 2012.
Catalytic Conventer adalah perangkat yang tersemat di tengah-tengah pipa saluran gas buang. Fungsinya untuk menekan kadar emisi gas buang menjadi lebih ramah lingkungan. Perangkat ini sudah lazim digunakan di mobil terkini seperti Toyota Vios.

Zippy electric motorcycle comes at a price | Cutting Edge - CNET News
Zippy electric motorcycle comes at a price | Cutting Edge - CNET News: "The Zero S electric motorcycle is impressive, but be careful with the throttle--it accelerates superfast from a standing start--and keep in mind that it weighs only 225 pounds.
Those are the initial observations of this first-time rider, who took the street model made by Santa Cruz, Calif.-based Zero Motorcycles out for a spin.
It's an odd feeling to twist the throttle and feel the powerful acceleration (62.5 pound-feet of torque) and still hear no sound except a slight clanking from the chain, not yet lubricated on this pre-production vehicle. Making tight turns is a little tricky, as there's no clutch (and no gears). But once you get used to it, it's just like an ordinary street motorcycle."

Yelp to Raise as Much as $100 Million in IPO Amid Internet Stock Demand - Bloomberg: "Yelp Inc. (YELP), the user-generated review website, plans to raise as much as $100 million in what may be the first initial public offering from a major Internet company this year.
Yelp, based in San Francisco, said in a regulatory filing yesterday it will offer 7.15 million shares for $12 to $14 each. The pricing is scheduled for March 1, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, and the stock will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker YELP.
The IPO will probably come ahead of Facebook Inc., the biggest social-networking website, which filed to raise $5 billion on Feb. 1, without setting terms. At the midpoint of the price range, Yelp’s offering would value the company at about $778 million, or about 9.3 times last year’s sales. That compares with 5.2 times for Google Inc.

Iowa town welcomes back China's next president - US news - Life - msnbc.com: "DES MOINES, Iowa — The last time China's soon-to-be leader visited Iowa, he slept in a bedroom with green shag carpeting and Star Trek character cutouts on the walls. He ate eggs with a spoon because his host forgot the chopsticks.
But apparently Xi Jinping remembered the 1985 stay fondly because he insisted on returning this week to Muscatine, a small farming community he toured to learn about crop and livestock practices.
Back then, he was a young Communist Party leader seeking ideas to help his agriculture-rich region of northern China. Now the nation's vice president, he made certain to add Muscatine to his jam-packed itinerary so he could reunite with the same Americans who showed him around the region's hog and cattle operations and its abundant corn and soybean fields."
