Dish Network: BlockBuster at 500 Locations is Over

Dish Network is no dummy. They know that they can get more business since they are most likely going to have all of the customer list of BlockBuster. There are a few of the stores that are going to stay open but we are not really sure what they will be doing with the stores. Dish Network seems to be mainly interested in the online streaming.

Shuttering all of them seemed like a very real possibility, but it now looks like Dish has plans for at least a few of Blockbuster's old stomping grounds. On Saturday, the company agreed to assume the leases for about 500 of the 1,700 Blockbuster locations still in operation, according to papers filed with a New York Bankruptcy Court. Of course, it's still unclear what Dish plans to actually do with these stores -- or, for that matter, with the Blockbuster brand, as a whole. But it certainly looks like its long-term vision may incorporate at least some of Blockbuster's brick-and-mortar roots.

Are you a fan of Dish Network? If you are then you would be interested to hear that they won the bid for the BlockBuster stores. Dish says this is going to give them a new way to market their services. There is some talk about having streaming online video. This could be who will be a Netflix competitor and come head to head with Netflix.

PM Kamboja Hun Sen meminta maaf pada rakyatnya atas kejadian ini. Dia memerintahkan investigasi segera tentang penyebab peristiwa yang merenggut korban jiwa terbesar setelah rezim Pol Pot ini.

Sebagai gambaran, Kamboja merupakan salah satu negara di kawasan miskin dan memiliki sistem kesehatan yang terbelakang serta rumah sakit yang hampir tidak mampu melayani kebutuhan harian. Hmm.. setiap acara besar yang menciptakan keramaian dan tidak teratur, ya beginilah akibatnya. Bagaimana menurut anda?

Johny Setiawan Penemu Planet Baru

Nalimo Today ~ Johny Setiawan dan timnya menemukan planet yang di beri nama HIP 13044 b tersebut ketika melihat benda bergerak mengelilingi induk bintangnya. Menggunakan spectrograph dengan teleskop 2,2 meter di European Southern Observatory's La Silla Observatory, Cile, ia meyakini bahwa benda itu adalah sebuah planet. HIP 13044 b adalah nama planet seukuran planet Jupiter yang baru ditemukan dan lahir di luar galaksi kita, Milky Way. Sang penemu adalah Johny Setiawan, ahli astrofisika kelahiran Jakarta 16 Agustus 1974.

“Penemuan ini adalah bagian dari studi kami. Kami selalu mencari exoplanets yang mengorbit di sekitar bintang yang hampir mati,” kata Johny, yang berkerja di Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) dan penulis Science paper.

Exoplanet atau extrasolar planet adalah planet yang berada di luar sistem tata surya kita. “Penemuan ini membuat kami semangat. Sebab, letaknya yang sangat jauh dari bumi sekitar 2.000 tahun cahaya,” kata Johny, yang kini tinggal di Heidelberg, Jerman.

Jarak HIP 13044 b yang dekat dengan induk bintangnya itu membuat masa orbitalnya hanya 16 hari. Bintang itu sendiri sudah melawati fase red giant, yakni ukurannya membengkak dari diameter aslinya sebelum mati karena kehabisan hidrogen.

Menurut Johny, matahari kita pun akan mengalami hal serupa dalam sekitar lima juta tahun mendatang. “Bintang itu berputar relatif cepat,” katanya. “Akibatnya, bintang itu menelan planet di sekitarnya saat terjadi fase red giant. Setelah itu putarannya malah lebih cepat lagi.”

Johny, yang mengusai lima bahasa: Indonesia, Jerman, Inggris, Perancis, dan Spanyol, menambahkan bahwa masih ada pertanyaan yang berlum terjawab tentang bagaimana planet itu bisa terbentuk. Padahal, planet itu mengorbit di sekitar bintang yang memiliki sedikit elemen kimia, selain hidrogen dan helium.

Ini merupakan kejadian langka. “Ini masih teka-teki. Bagaimana bisa bintang yang hanya mengandung sedikit elemen kimia dapat membentuk sebuah planet,” kata Johny. “Planet di sekitar bintang seperti ini pasti terbentuk tidak seperti planet pada umumnya.”

"When I saw the star, I think of jellyfish that I saw at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Beautiful creature that is in the water. Star is also beautiful. Only, he was there in space," said Ned Wright, head of investigations at WISE.

The image captured is actually NGC 1514, a crystal ball nebula is 800 light-years away in the constellation Taurus. The object was included in this type of planetary nebulae and was first discovered by Sir William Herschel.

Planetary nebulae form when dying stars cast material gas. Ultraviolet radiation from the star center resulted in glowing gas and striking. Planetary nebulae are sometimes also called "butterfly sky".

Meanwhile, the ring structure itself can be observed due to the dust from the planetary nebula heated and seemed to glow with infrared waves. Without wave infrared, a ring will not be seen as less dominant with a light gas material.

Kim Jong Il, The Eccentric Cruel

Not a few leaders who were killed, coup because of cruel, undemocratic. However, not so with Kim Jong Il (68). In fact, he plans to continue over power to his son, Kim Jong Un. Grandfather, children and grandchildren will most likely continue to be leaders. Kim even managed to raises its image to the outside world as being eccentric, and father of playboy. Politically, he is skilled, people like it or not.

Ruthless leadership, including throwing her eldest son, Kim Jong Nam, to Macau because it is not discipline, is considered to be its strength. This earned him stay in power despite outbreaks of famine and economic decline continues to occur. North Korea is now one of the countries that receive food aid from humanitarian organizations globally. Jong Il to capture power through propaganda. Gulag or forced labor camps is another tool that makes his critics think hard before the fight.

Admiration for North Koreans to his father, Kim Il Sung, he also managed to plug it in to the body-in the military. It was as if he is Kim Il Sung. He's very confident. Notorious figures may be synchronized with the Fidel Castro of Cuba about the guts. Jong Il dismissed all estimates of the fall of the communist regime in his country, after the Soviet Union collapsed in the early 1990s. In the mid-1990s, the country plunged into an outbreak of acute famine, which killed a million people. It does not make him frightened. He had time to set aside assets of the state to develop nuclear weapons to missile test in October 2006 and May 2009.

In 1987, Korean Air Lines fell and 115 passengers were killed. This is believed to be the fruit of his deeds.

There are also fall. News plague of hunger does not subside. Unicef estimates a third of malnourished North Korean children. The pressure and the criticism continues, including the stamp of Bush's axis of evil. Kim Jong Il would not go down. Is declining health from diabetes and a stroke in 2008, which allegedly makes Kim Jong Il can not survive anymore. He also reported suffering from kidney disease. Only a force of nature that became his enemy. However, hebatanya again, the forces of nature will not keep Kim dynasty from power. He's already preparing for Kim Jong Un, the youngest son, became his successor.

To this he acted very tactical. His son was immediately appointed to four-star general. Military support is very crucial to the dictatorship succeeded him buckling. The appointment or removal of Kim Jong Un is a general move to orbit the image of her son as a man who feared and therefore may have to be obeyed. In June, long before the news unfolding succession, head of U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has said Leon Panetta, Kim Jong Il was preparing his son as the next leader of North Korea.

Kim Jong Il born February 16 at Mount Paekdu, a sacred site, is excellent. Independent observers say, he was born in a guerrilla camp in Russia, the headquarters location of his father, Kim Il Sung, who led the war against Japan invaded the Korean peninsula.

The escape from North Korea describe him as a womanizer, drinker, and fans of Western movies. He collected 20,000 movies made in Hollywood. Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright described the Kim Jong Il as a person who knows many things and have a network of information. However, do not forget, the North's communist Soviet Union survived because they care. Post-Cold War North Korea also maintained because of China's assistance, who do not want chaos in North Korea widened to the country.
