Guest post by Bettina Perroni

I present my blog. The best blog in the world lol (for me):::

bettinaperroni.blogspot.com

The blog is old. As of January 10 five years on the Web. Its content has been a source of inspiration for some criticism for others. Millions are unaware of its existence but it does have thousands of visitors who have become loyal readers.

All that the author-or I - ever wanted to do was to make this space a personal diary. "Genesis: Origin of my thoughts" rather than a recapitulation of experiences, is the cave where Bettina Perroni has released all these thoughts. Some truths have leaned between the lines, but there are pitfalls when writing.

Why Genesis?, Simply because I believe in the existence of an end ... even in the "happy endings." My belief is based on the constant changes that occur the birth of new stages, new experiences. In short, I born in a different way to the reality in each of my writings. I like to approach life objectively, directly ... but just to watch me pleasure myself from a different perspective, challenging the destination to see when you make a mistake.

I am author, actor and observer of my own decisions and I critique, and judge my own actions.

This blog has allowed me to survive, get over, my fear of flying. Here I am in love, I am disappointed and I have prospered. Sure, let me get close to people that I can not physically see and be where I can not.

You see, you have me here ... and now

you and me.

Surreal but possible;)

So I LOVE MY BLOG and I look forward to the day when this space very soon will wake up with a new look (as new as mine). How many times I needed this blog ...

Maybe you also need a blog.

KPK Bergerak - Stop Korupsi dan Suap di Indonesia. Setelah cukup lama dianggap loyo, Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) bertekad menuntaskan semua kasus tindak pidana korupsi termasuk kasus-kasus besar.

Seperti Bank Century, kasus cek perjalanan terkait dugaan suap pemilihan Deputi Gubernur Senior Bank Indonesia maupun kasus mafia pajak dan hukum terkait Gayus Tambunan. “Saya tidak mau bebani tugas KPK yang akan datang. Kami sepakat, kasus lama dan kasus baru akan diusahakan selesai,” kata Ketua KPK Busyro Muqoddas.

Harus diingat, kemungkinan ada serangan balik dari para pelaku Korupsi dan Suap di Indonesia yang sudah begitu kuat. Namun KPK tak perlu takut dengan tekanan politik yang hendak menghentikan langkahnya memberantas korupsi. “KPK harus menegaskan, tidak akan ada zona aman bagi siapa pun di negeri ini yang terbukti melakukan korupsi,” kata Rektor Universitas Paramadina Anies Baswedan.

Para politikus di DPR yang makin buruk citranya itu, semestinya mendukung KPK dalam menuntaskan kasus dugaan suap pemilihan Deputi Gubernur Senior Bank Indonesia, Century dan mafia pajak. Berbagai kalangan melihat,saat ini KPK dalam posisi yang cukup berat. KPK selalu dirintangi politisi korup yang tidak ingin kepentingan mereka diganggu gugat.

Wakil Koordinator Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) Emerson Yuntho mensinyalir akan ada gerakan serangan balik yang dilakukan politisi di DPR terkait dengan penahanan 19 kader parpol, Century dan mafia pajak.

Ada sejumlah strategi yang dirancang politisi di DPR untuk tujuan mencoreng kredibilitas KPK. Salah satunya mereka akan mempersoalkan deponeering Bibit-Chandra untuk melemahkan legitimasi KPK. ICW mendesak agar aksi serangan balik kepada KPK terus dilawan dan diwaspadai.

“Jangan sampai KPK dilemahkan,” kata Emerson. Selain mempersoalkan deponeering Bibit-Chandra, politisi Senayan itu berpotensi melakukan langkah memangkas anggaran KPK sehingga lembaga ini memiliki sumber dana yang terbatas. Selain itu, kewenangan KPK memberantas korupsi akan dikurangi sebatas pencegahan dan penyelidikan saja.

KPK berjanji akan mengungkap kasus dugaan penyuapan dalam pemilihan Deputi Gubernur Senior Bank Indonesia 2004-2009 Miranda Goeltom sampai tuntas. Wakil Ketua KPK bidang Pencegahan Haryono Umar mengatakan, KPK tidak akan berhenti pada penangkapan pihak-pihak yang diduga menerima suap, tapi juga mengungkap siapa penyuapnya.

Pekan lalu, Jumat (28/1/2011), KPK menahan 19 politisi, termasuk Paskah Suzetta dari Partai Golkar dan Panda Nababan dari Partai Demokrasi Indonesia Perjuangan. Mereka adalah 2 dari 26 tersangka perkara suap dengan pemberian cek perjalanan terkait pemilihan Deputi Gubernur Senior Bank Indonesia 2004 yang dimenangi Miranda S Goeltom.

Mantan Wapres M Jusuf Kalla mendesak agar KPK mengungkap dan menangkap siapa penyuap para politisi di DPR tersebut. Gebrakan KPK untuk kasus ini, diharapkan berlanjut ke kasus Century dan mafia pajak agar KPK tak tebang pilih dan menegakkan rasa keadilan guna memulihkan kredibilitasnya, serta mampu men-Stop Korupsi dan Suap di Indonesia.

Friends, here we are, smack dab in the middle of wintertime! The last day of January begins our new workweek, and we'll be into the short month of February by the time it's all done Friday at 5pm!

I have a busy week ahead: the radio station fund drive take splace all week. On Tuesday we have Governor Andrew Cuomo out with his budget proposal. Wednesday meteorologists peg as the day of the next Northeast snowstorm, and we're not certain of its track. Will New York City get dumped on again? Will the storm reach the Capital Region and Saratoga? Stay tuned!

I've been awfully busy over the last several days, a trend I expect to continue. You must excuse my lack of more frequent posting for the time being. And know that the release of the 12 Hottest Blogging Babes for the year 2011 is coming soon.

Looking over the weekend Times Union I find Albany news doesn't seem to change very much. The local landfill is still running out of space. The newspaper continues to chase down any dirt regarding NXIVM and its founder Keith Raniere.

A national story that caught my eye was one about a rich woman who went wacko and killed her teenagers! Kids can indeed be "mouthy" but in this case mom blew her top! The NY Daily Nx has details and pictures from Facebook.

Last week's most interesting picture was that Reuters photo of lightning striking Mt. Shimone as the Japanese volcano erupted.

Imagine seeing TWO suns in the sky!*** The TU on page A8 (Sunday) may have the answer to why the Mayan calendar ends at the year 2012: the imminent explosion of Betelgeuse!

I had some issues with Saki Tumi's laptop, and let me tell you, what a difference a good disk cleaning program can make!

Wishing you a good week - I'll post when I can, and of course you can always find me on twitter!

*** From WikiPedia ::: The creation of the Crab Nebula corresponds to the bright SN 1054 supernova that was recorded by Chinese astronomers and Arab astronomers in 1054 AD. The Crab Nebula itself was first observed in 1731 by John Bevis. The nebula was independently rediscovered in 1758 by Charles Messier as he was observing a bright comet. Messier catalogued it as the first entry in his catalogue of comet-like objects. The Earl of Rosse observed the nebula at Birr Castle in the 1840s, and referred to the object as the Crab Nebula because a drawing he made of it looked like a crab.

Nicki Minaj worked overtime on the episode, joining the creeps of 'The Creep'  a.k.a. The Lonely Island (Andy Samberg with longtime comedy partners Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer) as will be announced at 'Saturday Night Live' this week,

Minaj's part "Get your knees flexin' and your arms T-Rexin'" was a fine rhyme, but it was the Grammy nominee's adorable blond bookworm look, not to mention her skill at balancing nerdy sweetness and total ickiness that put the latest 'SNL' digital short over the top.

Nick Minaj told fans later she had a great time working with "incredible" people on set, and even tweeted the name of her 'Creep' character.

Nick Minaj later tweeted from her Twitter account how she enjoyed her SNL appearance.

Egypt Shows How Easily Internet Can Be Silenced ::: USA To Follow?

Earlier this week, United States Senator Joe Lieberman brought back a bill he first introduced last summer that would give President Obama power over privately owned Internet providers and computer systems during a "national cyberemergency." The revised version of the Lieberman-Collins bill now includes language stipulating that the federal government designation "shall not be subject to judicial review." It also expanded the president's purview to include "provider of information technology." Given the government's rush to cut off access to WikiLeaks for a few thousand embarrassing but dated diplomatic cables, it's hard to trust their definition of a "cyberemergency." ~ New York Magazine

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the space shuttle Challenger NASA commemorates.

(L to R): Mission Specialist, Ellison S. Onizuka, Teacher in Space Participant Sharon Christa McAuliffe, Payload Specialist, Greg Jarvis and Mission Specialist, Judy Resnik. Front row (L to R): Pilot Mike Smith, Commander, Dick Scobee and Mission Specialist, Ron McNair.

Wayne Hale, a former space shuttle program manager and flight director who was working at NASA during both space shuttle accidents said:

"It just always gives us pause at this time of the year, those of us that are in the industry, to reflect on our sad experiences in the past and the lives of those that made such a great contribution to our country,"

It says from Fox News,

While an accident review board never conclusively determined what ignited the fire, a series of design flaws were blamed for making the module so flammable and difficult to quickly escape from. The investigation into the disaster delayed the Apollo program by more than a year-and-a-half and led to redesigns for the Apollo module, as well as procedural changes at NASA.

"We have not forgotten the lessons from Apollo, and I sure hope we as an agency don’t forget these lessons we have learned," said Bill Gerstenmaier, NASA's associate administrator for space operations.

Christa Mcauliffe was one of the crews who died from the accident. The space shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds after lifting off on the orbiter's 10th flight on Jan. 28, 1986.

Although, like everyone else, I have some concerns when it comes to Facebook privacy, from time to time I search Facebook for someone interesting to friend whom I don't know personally. I think it adds to the mix and matter of social networking. Life (and internet social networking) is often about DISCOVERY via reaching out to others. Digital Grifter Schnooks know this [Schnook 1][Schnook 2] and work it to their advantage, harboring less than honorable intentions, which yield unhappy results.

Wanna delete that Facebook account? Here's how.

Speaking of DISCOVERY, did humans cross from eastern Africa to Arabia around 130,000 years ago? This could be an addendum to the excellent PBS documentary THE JOURNEY OF MAN.

The latest wave of PR updates has shaken and stirred the blogosphere. I found a nice site for investigating your blog backlinks.

Word's out that veteran Albany local TV reporter John McLoughlin has tendered his resignation. John is among the Capital Region's "Big 3" reporters: 3, big powerhouse guys who know the ropes blindfolded: John, Ken Screven of CBS6 and Bill Lambdin of Newschannel13.

Cecilia Martinez writes in the Troy Record: "Looking forward, McLoughlin said he hopes to continue to work in the news business, but has not made any plans. " Which has led to speculation that the two-week notice JMcL gave WTEN may have been "forced"???

No one is "safe" from the hand of fate and the hands of time. Change is inevitable. We all realize this.

It will be interesting to see what happens next.

Following the Charlie Sheen hospitalized post, it has been reported few minutes back that the actor was diagnosed with hiatal hernia which he had for years.

As defined from medicinenet.com, hiatal hernia is an anatomical abnormality in which part of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm and up into the chest. Although hiatal hernias are present in approximately 15% of the population, they are associated with symptoms in only a minority of those afflicted.

Hiatal hernia is caused by a larger-than-normal esophageal hiatus, the opening in the diaphragm through which the esophagus passes from the chest into the abdomen; as a result of the large opening, part of the stomach "slips" into the chest. medicinenet.com

Although American Idol Season 10 followers loved Steven Tyler's quotes, today a heartbreaking story engulfed the reality show viewers.

Today's final act of the show was Chris and his heartbreaking story of how his fiancee got in a car accident only a mere months before their planned wedding date was featured.

In the news today, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio),  sues Congressional cafeteria over the 2008 incident which involves a stray of olive pit placed in a sandwich wrapper.

Based on documents acquired by Gawker, Kucinich argues that the wrap, which was supposed to contain only pitted olives, was "unwholesome and unfit for human consumption." Chewing the pit, he claims, resulted in "serious and permanent dental and oral injuries requiring multiple surgical and dental procedures."

Kucinich is seeking $150,000 from Restaurant Associates and three other companies that run the cafeteria in the Longworth congressional office building.

Monitor lizard measuring 5-foot wanders around a condo complex in the city of Riverside was way bigger than animal control officer Jenny Selter which was reported to them.

"She said she saw it and almost jumped back in her truck,"

"The residents were freaking out because here's the Godzilla-like creature walking down the sidewalk."

Selter and police officer managed to capture the Monitor lizard and instantly put in in a compartment of her truck that's usually used for large dogs. Selter held the onto its sharp, lashing tail while the police officer grabbed the body of the Monitor lizard.

Welsh added:

"The last one we had was nasty. But this one doesn't hiss and we were able to walk it around. It was investigating and didn't snap at anyone,"

"We suspect that it's been someone's pet for a long time, because it's so big. I think they might let it wander around the house. Maybe it sleeps on a bean bag?"

In President Obama's Speech of the Union Address, he mentioned Race to the Top (R2T). The president intends to replace No Child Left Behind (NCLB).

Obama said, “Race to the Top should be the approach we follow this year as we replace No Child Left Behind with a law that is more flexible and focused on what’s best for our kids,”

According to the president’s speech, the idea of R2T was developed by both Republican and Democratic governors throughout the U.S. The program is funded by the ED Recovery Act to the tune of $4.35 billion. R2T is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

States apply for funding by earning points in a variety of categories. There is a total of 500 points, all told. Because of the competitive nature of the funding, many states have taken action to ensure that they do well enough to receive their share of the money.

Meanwhile, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) delivered her own rebuttal to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday night despite Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) being tapped to give the official Republican response.

Bachmann suggested she's "not in competition with Paul Ryan," according to CNN.
