Unequal brutal ways due2 Kangress What is the reason of this blackout by our media ?

Kuningan Tragedy 2009
2009-07-17 08:23:00 Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Emma Lazarus - ?The New Colossus? === Dear Indonesia, once again you cried tears. Once again anger raised and wrath commanded. Once again we lowering our heads for a moment of peace. Once again we feel fear. And once again we unite. Once again we hold hands together and shout ?we are not af...
Greek Tragedy
2009-07-11 00:17:00 We received an email from Marsha Jackson with photographs of her very interesting painting that she has had for 15 years.Joe Stanfield of our Fine Art Department deduced that this is a mythologically themed painting by Chicago artist Richard Detrich from 1963. It depicts the young Greek Icarus who tragically fell to his death after his wings melted in the sun, even after warnings of hubris from his father Daedalus. Unfortunately works by Richard Detrich have never sold at auction, so although this is an interesting and timeless subject matter, the value at auction for a painting by a "non-listed" artist such as Detrich is only around $200/400.Send me a photo and description of something, and I'll help you determine...

MurugadossRating:***They say a lot of things can happen in your dreams and it all feels so real. One such dream happened to me recently. I saw a whole film in my dreams and you know what it was a kind of a miracle. It was a Tamil film by the name of Ghajini and guess what? I have suddenly started to understand the Tamil language fluently. To top it, it had Aamir Khan in it.(Snigger)The kind of things one can imagine in one's dreams is not funny. Aamir Khan has full on 'acted' in this one. The story is supposed to be a thriller but it seems more romantic and comedy. Everything is predictable yet everything is entertaining about the film. Things were illogical but surprisingly one did not mind them being illogical. In fact, one was left asking for more such stuff even after the mammoth film ended a good 3 hours later.'Well, miracles never cease to happen. Imagine, a Tamil film with A...

Drilling caused Lapindo mud disaster - report
2008-06-10 03:14:00 Drilling of a gas exploration well, and not an earthquake, set off a volcano that has been spewing boiling mud for two years and has displaced more than 50,000 people on the Indonesian island of Java, experts said on Monday. Records kept by oil and gas company Lapindo Brantas during the drilling of a gas exploration well called Banjar-Panji-1 show specific incidents that could have triggered the disaster, the international team of experts said. "We are more certain than ever that the Lusi mud volcano is an unnatural disaster and was triggered by drilling the Banjar-Panji-1 well," said Richard Davies, a professor of earth sciences at Britain's Durham University. "We show that the day before the mud volcano started, there was a huge 'kick' in the well, which is an influx of fluid and gas into the wellbore," Davies said in a statement. "We show that after the kick, the pressure in the well went beyond a critical level. This resulted in the leakage of the ...

World Bank warns flood may hit Jakarta
2008-05-29 12:21:00 The World Bank warned Thursday that an exceptionally high tide could inundate the Indonesian capital next week, forcing thousands of people to flee homes and cutting off the highway to the international airport.The situation - exasperated by global warming and the fact that Jakarta is sinking up to 2 inches a year - could mean flooding will exceed last November's roof-high levels in the hardest-hit areas, said Hongjoo Hahm, the bank's infrastructure expert."This is just the beginning," he said, as he pointed to homes reaching a mile inland that will likely be affected Tuesday and Wednesday by the 18-year semiannual tide cycle. "It's getting worse and worse."Indonesia, a sprawling archipelago nation, is one of the world's largest contributors of carbon dioxide emissions, thanks to the rapid pace of deforestation. But experts say the country is also at risk of becoming one of the biggest victims of climate change.Rising sea waters especially pose a threat to coastal cities like Ja...
