Olympic torch lit
Olympic torch flame will be lit by a ceremony in Olympia, Greece on Thursday, marks the beginning of the 2012 London Olympics.
The fire will be turned on by a "priestess" that captures the morning sun on the glass dish.
The torch will be flown to England on May 18 and will be sent around the country whose capital hosts the Olympics for 70 days.
Locog chairman Lord Coe, the International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge and the Hellenic Olympic Committee President Spyros Capralos Olympia will be present at the ceremony marking the start of the countdown to the 2012 London Olympics.
Ceremonial lighting of the torch will be carried out in front of the ruins of the Temple of Hera on Thursday (10/5) local time.
Torch - a symbol representing the sanctity of the Olympic Games means it comes from the sun - and then placed in a toilet and brought to the stadium where the ancient Olympic Games was held.
Then, the fire will be carried by the swimming world champion 10km from Liverpool-born Greek Spyros Gianniotis, which will take him in the first round around Greece.
He will give the torch to Alex Loukos, 19, carrying the torch from the UK first, a boxer and in 2005, is one of the delegation of school children in East London who went to Singapore in the event the final offer when London will host the Olympic Games .
The torch will be taken around the country as far as 2900 km by 500 torchbearers.
Ceremony amid political and economic chaos in the country where the ancient Olympic Games.
Demonstration in Greece the past few months, due to the chaos of financial condition and overshadowed the threat of bankruptcy due to failure to pay debts.
Upara torch ignition and trip paid for by BMW. The torch will end up in Greece around the Panathenaic Stadium, Athens, on Thursday, May 17, when the torch will be transferred to the London Olympics.
The stadium hosted the first modern Olympics in 1896. Last torchbearers in Greece the Greek weight lifters Pyrros Dimas and Chinese gymnast Li Ning - who lit the Olympic flame ceremony in Beijing in 2008.
The discovery of the Sukhoi aircraft Fall
Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft lost during a demo flight on Wednesday (09/05) today found near the crater of the Queen, Mount Salak Bogor.

The statement was announced by Chief Air Marshal Basarnas Daryatmo at Halim air base Perdanakusuma, Jakarta.
"This morning Basarnas Super Puma helicopter dispatched at 7:54 pm and at 08.00 had visible signs of the missing plane at an altitude of 5800 feet on the south side of Mount Salak, Batutapak village, Bogor," said Daryatmo.
He said search teams look at the characteristics of the aircraft debris and there Sukhoi logo with a color similar to the missing plane yesterday.
Evacuation effort is expected to meet the technical constraints and the weather because the aircraft's position on the precipice.
"In addition to difficult geographical conditions, the weather is often fickle and often foggy during the day so it is difficult to see at a distance," said Daryatmo.
He also clarified that the 47 people on board.
"Manifest says 48 people but was a man named Eddie Sarwoko passengers cancel their participation," he said.
The plane was carrying eight crew of Russians and 37 people on board Indonesian nationals and two foreigners.
Meanwhile, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said this morning received regular reports from the head Basarnas.
"Approximately ten minutes ago found out that the most likely planes that crashed on a slope of Mount Salak. I speak directly with our staff at the front, approximately 1.5 miles from the place that informed the plane went down," said Yudhoyono.
He ordered the search is performed to maximum effort and investigation of accidents carefully.

CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING
The cause of Global Warming. Increasing global temperature is expected to lead to other changes such as rising sea levels, increased intensity of extreme weather phenomena, as well as changes in the number and pattern of precipitation. Consequences of global warming or that global warming is terpengaruhnya other crops, the loss of glaciers, and the extinction of various animal species.
Global Warming or Global Warming is the process of increasing the average temperature of the atmosphere, oceans, and Earth's land. Global average temperature at Earth's surface has risen 0.74 ° C ± 0:18 (1:33 ± 0:32 ° F) during the last hundred years.
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that, "most of the increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is most likely caused by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases due to human activities" through the greenhouse effect. These basic conclusions have been advanced by at least 30 scientific and academic bodies, including the national science academies of all G8 countries. However, there are still some scientists who disagree with some of the IPCC conclusions are presented
The cause of Global Warming / Global Warming
* Greenhouse Effect
* Feedback Effects
* Variations in the Sun
Greenhouse Effect
All energy sources that exist on Earth comes from the Sun. Most of the energy in the form of short-wave radiation, including visible light. When this energy arrives Earth's surface, he turned from the light into heat that warms the Earth. Earth's surface, will absorb some heat and reflecting back the rest. Much of this heat is tangible long-wave infrared radiation into space. But some of the heat remains trapped in Earth's atmosphere due to accumulated amount of greenhouse gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane which trap this radiation. These gases absorb and reflect radiation emitted wave and consequently the Earth's heat is stored in the Earth's surface. This situation occurs continuously, resulting in an annual average temperature of the earth continues to increase.
Gases are working in a greenhouse gas. With the increasing concentration of these gases in the atmosphere, the more heat is trapped underneath.
The greenhouse effect is needed by all living things on earth, because without it, the planet will be very cold. With an average temperature of 15 ° C (59 ° F), the earth actually has more hot 33 ° C (59 ° F) from the original temperature, if there is no greenhouse effect the Earth's temperature is only -18 ° C so that the ice would cover the entire Earth's surface. However, on the contrary, if these gases in the atmosphere has been excessive, will cause global warming.
Feedback effects
Elements of the cause of global warming are also influenced by various feedback processes that result. An example is the evaporation of water. In the case of warming due to increasing greenhouse gases such as CO2, warming will initially lead to more amount of water that evaporates into the atmosphere. Because water vapor is itself a greenhouse gas, warming will continue and increase the amount of water vapor in the air until it reaches an equilibrium concentration of water vapor. The resulting greenhouse effect is greater than the effect of CO2 alone. (Although this feedback increases the absolute water content in the air, relative humidity of air is almost constant or even decreases slightly because the air becomes warmer). [3] This feedback effect only slowly as CO2 has a long age in the atmosphere.
Feedback effects due to the influence of clouds is the object of current research. When viewed from below, clouds will reflect infrared radiation back to the surface, thereby increasing the heating effect. In contrast when viewed from above, clouds will reflect sunlight and infrared radiation to space, thereby increasing the cooling effect. Whether the net effect produce heating or cooling depending on some specific details such as the type and height of these clouds. These details are difficult to be represented in climate models, partly because the clouds are very small compared to the distance between the boundaries of computational climate models (about 125 to 500 km to the model used in the Fourth Report of the IPCC view). Nevertheless, cloud feedback ranks of two when compared with the water vapor feedback and is considered positive (adding heating) in all models used in the Fourth Report of the IPCC view.
Another important feedback is the loss of the ability to reflect light (albedo) of ice. As global temperatures increase, ice near the poles melts at an ever increasing. Along with the melting of the ice, land or water below it will open. Both land and water has the ability to reflect light much less when compared to the ice, and consequently will absorb more solar radiation. This will increase the heating and causing even more ice melts, it becomes a continuous cycle.
Positive feedback due to release of CO2 and CH4 from the softening of frozen ground (permafrost) are other mechanisms that contribute to warming. In addition, the melting ice will also cause release of CH4 are also positive feedback.
The ability of oceans to absorb carbon will also be reduced if it warms up, this is caused by a decline in nutrient levels in the zone and limit the growth of diatoms Mesopelagic than phytoplankton is low carbon sinks.
Variation of the Sun
There is a hypothesis which states that the variation of the Sun, with a possibility reinforced by feedback from the clouds, can contribute to warming. Difference between the heating mechanism is due to the greenhouse effect is the increased activity of the Sun would heat the stratosphere reverse the greenhouse effect cools the stratosphere. Cooling the lower stratosphere has been observed since at least 1960, which will not occur when the solar activity to be a major contributor to recent warming. (Depletion of the ozone layer may also provide the cooling effect, but depletion occurred from late 1970's.) The phenomenon of solar variability combined with volcanic activity may have provided the warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950, as well as a cooling effect since 1950 .
There is some research that states that the contribution of the Sun may have been overlooked in global warming. Two researchers from Duke University estimated that the Sun may have contributed to 45-50% increase in average global temperature over the period 1900-2000, and about 25-35% between 1980 and 2000. Stott and colleagues suggests that climate models are used as guidelines now make exaggerated estimates of the effects of greenhouse gases compared with the influence of the sun, they also suggest that the cooling effects of volcanic dust and sulfate aerosols have also been underestimated. Nevertheless, they conclude that even by increasing the sensitivity of climate to influence sun though, most of the warming that has occurred in recent decades is caused by greenhouse gases.
In 2006, a team of scientists from the United States, Germany and Switzerland stated that they did not find any increase in the level of "explanation" of the Sun in a thousand years. Solar cycle only a small increase of 0.07% in the "statement" for 30 years. This effect is too small to contribute to global warming. A study by Lockwood and Fröhlich found no relation between global warming and solar variability since 1985, both through the variation of solar output or variations in cosmic rays.

Myopia comes from the Greek words meaning "close view" ("nearsightedness"). This is because damage to the eye that produce focusing the view in front of the retina.
Myopia sufferers see objects clearly at close range. But in the long-distance objects appear blurred so that the head became dizzy. If your child feels dizzy when he saw the writing on the blackboard in the classroom and his vision blurred, he probably suffered from Myopia.
MyopiaPara eye care professionals, Myopia usually fix the problem with the use of lenses (corrective lenses) such as eyeglasses or contact lenses (contact lenses). Can also be overcome by refractive surgery such as LASIK. The lens correction has a measure of the strength (power) can be called a negative or minus lens to overcome the myopia eye.
Myopia is divided into 3 levels:
A. Low myopia in dioptres close to 0 - 3:00
2. Moderate myopia with -3.00 dioptres - 6:00
3. High myopia up to -6 dioptres down (-10).
Myopia patients is estimated between 800 million and 2.3 billion (this is because there is a feeling rarely suffer from Myopia). In countries such as China, India, and Malaysia, 41% of adults suffer from Myopia up to -1.00.
Too often read, especially with the distance is too close to the light is too dark can cause children to suffer from myopia. So did various jobs that required to see objects at close range such as sewing. Instead play or exercise outside for 2-3 hours with sun exposure (ideally in the morning) can reduce the likelihood of disease Myopia.
Australian researchers concluded that exposure to sunlight is beneficial to limit the growth of the eyeball can cause or Farsightedness Myopia. They compared the children of developed countries like Australia and Singapore. Singapore children who on average spend only 30 minutes outside the home were 90% have had to wear glasses Myopia so either permanently or temporarily. While Australian children who spend 2-3 hours to play outside the house only 20% are suffering from Myopia. Exposure to sunlight outdoors can increase dopamine in the eye that can prevent Myopia.
So Myopia disease prevention can be done as follows:
A. Read not too close (at least during your elbow)
2. Read it in a well lit room
3. Do not read while sleeping
4. Avoid watching TV / playing play station too close to constant
5. Avoid using a computer with a monitor too close. Occasionally to look at distant sites.
6. Play outdoors for 2-3 hours every day and see distant objects
7. Exercise for your muscles become stronger, including eye
8. Eat foods that are beneficial for your eyes such as vitamin A, Beta Carotene, and so forth.
Suggest NasDem Ical Complete mudflow
JAKARTA - Statement by the Chairman of the Golkar Party, Bakrie (Ical) who called the Party of the Democratic National Party NasDem not, but the heat Fever, instantly create top brass, including the party chairman, Patrice Rio Capella, offended.
Rio said the speech Ical shows insensitivity to the current political situation, including not sensitive to differences of opinion from the Internal Golkar pencapresannya plan.
"Never mind about NasDem, about the different aspirations about pencapresan mechanism in Golkar, he did not understand," said Rio to Tribunnews.com, Tuesday (02/05/2012).
Because of insensitivity, the Rio suggested Ical and focus first mudflow and resolve problems that have chronic Bakrielife before commenting and other offending parties.
"We suggest to solve the problems connected Lapindo, Bakrielife, sorry for the people," he said.
Prevent Crime, Public Service Management must be addressed
Crime in the city's public transportation (public transportation) such as rape, continued to occur. Despite the government of Jakarta has required managers to create a uniform public transport and public transport crew identification card, but still not effective.
Chairman of Jakarta Transportation Council, Azas Tigor Nainggolan said, one way to prevent crime in public transportation to reorganize the management of public transportation itself.
"There are problems in our transportation management. This management must be addressed," said Metro Jaya Police Headquarters Tigor in Jakarta, Friday (16/12/2011).
Tigor said, the management of public transportation there are actually under the cooperative. But in fact, controlled by individual public transportation fleet. And the question again, public transportation is not placed on poolnya.
"Public transportation is under the cooperative, but were taken respectively. Should he clear, if indeed he was PP (Individual Company) as a taxi,
We encourage angkutannya institutional management business, "he explained.
He pointed out that public transportation is not grounded to the pool as Metromini under Cikini Station and Mikrolet in the Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII).
Meanwhile, related to the use of uniforms and ID cards of public transportation drivers, principle judge it fairly effectively. The rules are sufficient psychological impact for public transportation drivers.
"At least he has a moral responsibility," he concluded.
As is known, the rape happened Ros (40), a vegetable trader in Depok. She was raped and robbed by a group of men while riding public transportation department M-26-Jakarta Kampung Melayu.
Members of The Army Justify Doing Action "cowboy" in Palmerah
Indonesian National Armed Forces of the Army (TNI AD) confirming its members to take action cowboy with a gun, as recorded in the video on Youtube.
"It's true that our members as recorded in the Youtube video," said Head of Information Department of the Army (Kadispenad) Birgjen TNI banner to Okezone Harijudo Suko, Tuesday (01/05/2012).
The perpetrator is a member of the Army Headquarters Denma unity. "Day-to-day working there," he explained.
However, up banner, cowboy action is certainly no reason why the desperate done, like a crowded reported.
Pandji tell, the initial incident occurred on April 30, at approximately 14:00 pm. At that time, members of the Army was going to the airport to pick up her parents who are sick.
On the way, precisely in Kebayoran Lama, near Palmerah, a member of the Army was grazed motor. Not accept the penyerempetan, the owner of the motor was angry and mocked the members of the Army.
"Because not want a fuss, our members go down, meaning to finish well. But that's vespa riders even get angry, so that our members become hooked, "he explained.
There was a check-choke, because he felt cornered because of big bikers, members of the Army's weapons and pick up iron from the car.
As recorded in the Youtube video, it's free dressing soldier holding a gun in his left hand and right hand of iron used to hit the victim.
Many times, members of the Army was using the victim's head hitting the white helmet, so that the victim was not injured.
Known members of the military is concerned, it is clear from the vehicle was carrying numbered 1394-00 service is commonly used in official vehicles of the Army Headquarters.
An asterisk is used as a representative of the entire military command in Jakarta Indonesia.
