Anand Krishna , Jakarta | Thu, 07/16/2009 12:44 PM | Opinion The elections are over. The "election machinery" and "advertising industry" have been very effective. Those familiar with the psychology of advertising, medical neurology, and with Nobel laureate Ivan Pavlov's (1849-1936) theory of conditioned/involuntary reflex actions know how well our seasoned players have played their cards. Anyway, the people of Indonesia have passed their verdict. And now we have a "democratically" elected president and vice president, leaving us with two pairs not elected to the office. Yet they all are leaders, as long as the spirit of leadership within them is alive and they are willing to serve. A president, along with their team, leads the state. On the other hand, those not elected are not in the position to lead the state, but they can still serve the nation. One of the candidates said he would pulang kampung (return to

The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Thu, 07/16/2009 12:44 PM | Business Exports of ceramics are expected to rise this year due to the continued strengthening of the rupiah against the US dollar, an association says. "Exports may increase this year due to the strengthening of the rupiah following the success of legislative and presidential elections," Achmad Widjaya, chairman of the Association of Indonesian Ceramics Industry (Asaki), said Wednesday in Jakarta. The local currency recently touched levels of around Rp 10,000 against the greenback, from a previous Rp 12,000 in April. Achmad said a stronger rupiah would lower production costs, because ceramic production used natural gas as fuel, which was paid for in dollars. With lower production costs, manufacturers can sell their products in overseas markets at a more competitive price, eventually boosting demand, he added. In 2008, the value of ceramic exports reached more than US$274 mil

'Buzz' Aldrin Jr. poses for photograph beside US flag deployed on moon during Apollo 11 mission The Apollo 11 lunar landing on July 20, 1969, was the culmination of the longtime human dream of reaching the moon. The Apollo missions ended one phase of the U.S. space program, and started another. Apollo 11 expanded the reach of human beings, and offered a vision of the earth from a new perspective. Mission commander Neil Armstrong radioed the first words from the moon to Mission Control in Houston. "Tranquility Base, here. The Eagle has landed," he said. When Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin planted the American flag on the lunar surface, it was also a proud moment for the United States, which had lagged behind the Soviet Union in the early days of the space race.
