I REMEMBER YOU SUPERDUPER BANGAS

2005-06-07T16:26:00.000+07:00

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I’d think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through

I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I’d stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I’d wanna hear you say - I remember you

We spend the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said I love you babe, without a sound
I said I’d give my life for just one kiss
I’d live for your smile and die for your kiss

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I’d wanna hear you say - I remember you

We’ve had our share of hard times
But that’s the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you’ll never be lonely

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
’cause you’ll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I’d wanna hear you say - I remember you

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I’d wanna hear you say - I remember you

EAST TIMOR AND WEST PAPUA: 4 SANDLINE'S MERCENARIES HELPED KOPASSUS

2005-04-14T14:33:00.000+07:00

Mercenaries expelled from Papua New Ginea in 1997 had worked a year earlier in West Papua assisting Indonesia's notorious Kopassus special forces troops in an operation that caused many civilian deaths.

By PETER CRONAU

THE SOUTH AFRICAN mercenary group, Executive Outcomes, provided both training and operational advice to the Indonesian special forces Kopassus in a hostage rescue operation in West Papua (Irian Jaya) in 1996, the former chief executive officer has revealed. Nick van den Bergh informed me that he led a team of five "military advisers" who travelled to Indonesia to provide training in "special techniques" to Kopassus special forces troops. Van den Bergh says he reported directly to the Kopassus head, now-disgraced Indonesian Major-General Prabowo Subianto.

The five Executive Outcomes "consultants" also advised Prabowo's Kopassus troops on operational aspects of the execution of the May 1996 rescue operation. This assistance took place "in field" at an advance military base at Keneyam in West Papua.

In 1997, it was Van den Bergh who led the Executive Outcomes military team into Papua New Guinea, as sub-contractors under the prime contract of Tim SpicerÕs Sandline International. This operation was to capture the Panguna gold mine operated by British/Australian mining giant Rio Tinto. The massive copper and gold mine in the Papua New Guinea island territory of Bougainville had been closed by the independence-minded Bougainville Revolutionary Army in 1989.

In West Papua in January 1996, guerilla soldiers of the OPM (Free Papua Movement), led by Kelly Kwalik, had kidnapped British, Dutch, German and Indonesian hostages to attract international publicity to their independence campaign. The kidnapping occurred in the highlands of West Papua where indigenous communities have been disrupted by the huge Freeport McMoRan copper and gold mine which is partly owned by Rio Tinto, the owner of the Bougainville mine.

The Kopassus troops, trained and advised by Executive Outcomes, were responsible for a deadly helicopter assault on the West Papuan village of Geselema on May 9, 1996, in which many civilians were murdered and numerous others wounded. This was the start of an Indonesian retribution campaign aimed at capturing the OPM responsible and punishing the local civilian population. These actions over several months reportedly led to the deaths of hundreds of West Papuans displaced from their lands by the military operation.

One of the helicopters involved in the attack on Geselema was seen carrying Red Cross markings while carrying Kopassus troops and a number of white soldiers. This long rumoured presence of "white soldiers" on a white helicopter was confirmed in Mark DavisÕs Four Corners programme on ABC TV first shown on 12 July 1999 in Australia. [See "Blood on the Cross", pp 10-32]

The widespread international outcry following the airing of the programme has resulted in the International Red Cross undertaking to look into the revelation. The hostages were freed a week after the Geselema attack when Indonesian regular soldiers stumbled into the hostage groups during an attack on the suspected hideout. Two hostages, both Indonesians, died in the operation, apparently at the hands of relatives of the villagers murdered in Geselema.

A report on the events, released in June 1999 by the Robert F Kennedy Center for Human Rights, details many cases of human rights abuses that followed the campaign. An NGO report released in late July 1999 in the West Papuan capital Jayapura also detailed eye-witness accounts of murderous attacks on Geselema and other villages.

There were other military elements present in West Papua for the planning and conducting of the operation in addition to the Executive Outcomes mercenary ÒadvisersÓ. They included the British Defence Attache from Jakarta, ex-SAS Colonel Ivar Helberg, a three member team from the Hostage Negotiation Unit of New Scotland Yard, several personnel believed to be from the British SAS (Special Air Service), and representatives of the Dutch military forces. The operation used Israeli surveillance equipment supplied by the Singaporean Government.

The Kopassus special forces involved in the attacks had received specialised training in Australia from Australian SAS special forces. The training was ostensibly anti-terrorism training but the helicopter assault techniques and weapons practice provided are dual-use and very suitable for counter-insurgency operations as used against the indigenous West Papuans.

KopassusÕs General Prabowo later visited the SAS headquarters in Swanbourne, Perth, to provide a confidential briefing on the planning and conduct of the operation to the SAS troops.

The West Papuans have been fighting for their independence since 1969 when the UN handed the territory over to Indonesia following a sham vote by selected and intimidated local representatives. In the early 1960s, the Dutch colonial administration of Dutch West New Guinea had set up a Legislative Council, and adopted a flag and anthem, on the path to planned independence for the territory. This was cut short by an Indonesian military campaign led by Major Suharto who was to later to became president.

Since the fall of President Suharto in 1998 following widespread public protest after the Indonesian economic collapse, there has been a resurgence of West Papuan nationalism. The company Executive Outcomes has provided mercenaries for security operations in several African nations often in return for a share in the mineral resources secured. Van den Bergh declined to reveal who was paying for the Executive Outcomes training and advice as he wished to preserve the identity of his client, but he added he was satisfied with the operation and had been paid for his services in cash.

The company Executive Outcomes closed down in 1998, but some of its principals are understood now to be engaged in providing security services to resource projects in several African countries.

The coming to light of the involvement of Executive Outcomes mercenaries in Indonesia is another chapter in the record of the inglorious support given by Western governments to the notorious Kopassus troops of Indonesia.

Sharper Focus On Special Operators Seen Worldwide

2005-04-02T22:22:00.000+07:00

http://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/issues/2005/Feb/Sharper_Focus.htm

by Roxana Tiron and Joe Pappalardo

Special operations forces around the world are being molded in the image of the elite military units of the United States, a development that is likely to shape future coalitions. Critics warn, however, that U.S. commando units may not make an ideal model, because their organization is fragmented and their tactics are not as unconventional as they could be.

“The trend is that most countries in the world are trying to design around the U.S. model,” said Tim Eades, a former U.S. Army Ranger currently employed by Blackbird Technologies Inc., a firm that does consulting work with the U.S. Special Operations Command in Tampa, Fla. “Since the Iron Curtain came down they seem to be saying, ‘Let’s go the way the U.S. guys do it.’”

For example, Romania, one of the newest NATO members, is patterning its special operations units after the U.S. commandos, government defense officials told National Defense. Similarly, the Polish GROM, which is earning its reputation as a first-class counter-terrorism unit, was modeled after U.S and U.K. special operations units in 1991.

But some critics argue that countries seeking to enhance their SOF units according to the U.S. model should proceed with caution. The organization of special operations in the United States, for example, is tied to a large bureaucracy that potentially can stifle innovation, noted Michael Cheswick, a retired SEAL who now studies at the University of San Diego.

“U.S. units are part of Special Operations Command, and are part of their respective services,” he told National Defense. “Since the Pentagon’s conventional commanders have tried to push special operations under the rug over the years (because of rivalry), special ops leadership has finally worked its way in the door as conventional support.”

Cheswick called it the “most defeatist plan of action” on the part of special operations. “That move pushed the doctrine of unconventional warfare capability out the door because they had to convince the conventional commanders that they could play according to their rules.”

According to Cheswick, special operations in the United States became decidedly conventional instead of unconventional. “Nobody in the program understands what it is to be truly unconventional anymore, and the tragedy is that these units were set up under this very premise,” he said.

The United States and other countries trying to establish their own special forces have some learning to do from their British and European counterparts, Cheswick said. “Whereas U.K. and others are organized along clear lines, U.S. units are fragmented,” he said.

Despite organizational issues, training for the U.S. special operators is top-notch, he said. Nations from every continent have hosted U.S. special operations troops in joint training and advisory roles, which has established the framework for future cooperation on joint missions. Popular zones for these exercises include South America, the states of the former Soviet Union and Southeast Asia.

Special forces exchanges are often the first military-to-military contact between the United States and other nations. The reason for this, Eades explained, is that the higher level of training and equipping makes collaboration more effective.

“The special operations guys have the same kind of mission sets,” he added. “Linking up an infantry battalion from Taiwan with an infantry battalion from Fort Campbell, Ky., is tough. But the special operations forces have a lot more in common.”

Every nation retains its own flavor of training, Eades noted. Special operations officers in Indonesia, he said, take live gunshots to the chest to demonstrate the effectiveness of their flak jackets to their troops, and advocate using trances to achieve higher states of learning. Called Kopassus, the Indonesian special forces regiment is regarded as one of the toughest in the world. Its record, however, is tarnished by human rights abuses in East Timor. In 1998, the U.S. military, which has trained and collaborated with Kopassus, stopped its relationships because of the unit’s involvement in torturing political dissidents.

But the United States has been considering renewing its aid to Detachment 81, the counterterrorism arm of Kopassus as part of the war against terrorism. The unit was responsible for liberating passengers from a Garuda Airlines aircraft that was hijacked by Islamic extremists in 1981. The Defense Intelligence Agency and Agency for International Development representatives said Detachment 81 has not violated human rights and is adept at tracking down and nabbing hard-to-find terrorists.

Australia, for its part, also is trying to renew its relationship with the Indonesian military after a string of bombings in Indonesia that killed hundreds of Australians.

At a time when U.S. forces are stretched thin, the ability to rely on allied special forces units is critical. Australia in 2002 established a special operations command to better coordinate its counter-terrorism capabilities in the region and around the world. A special forces task group was part of Australia’s contribution to the military campaign in Iraq, and was used for sensitive, high-risk missions.

“Special force operations in the western desert of Iraq were aimed at preventing the use of ballistic missiles,” said Matt Francis, spokesman for the Australian Embassy in Washington, D.C.

U.S. special operations troops are often at the forefront of military operations, and gathering intelligence with the foreign troops with which they will be fighting is vital to their mission success.

The Special Operations Command carefully documents the capabilities of potential coalition allies after each training-collaboration, Eades said. “You don’t want to go into an operation in a city with special forces equipped with 9 mm ammunition you know has such a high velocity that it can penetrate walls,” he said, referring to the risk of fratricide and civilian casualties.

Other equipment needs are evaluated after SOF training, and while the United States can’t give or sell military equipment without going through channels, the special forces liaisons make recommendations on equipment purchases, upgrades and doctrine, Eades said.

The list of those who don’t pursue the U.S. model is rather short. The two most prominent are the North Korean and Chinese armies, which have their own methodologies. How much is known about those elite troops is seldom discussed in unclassified environments.

During the Cold War, the Soviet model for special operations offered a competing approach, Eades noted. The Spetnatz were small units trained in special operations in support of a larger combat operation. They did not work autonomously, he said, and placed a greater emphasis on spy-craft and deception than U.S. military forces.

“They could go into plainclothes at any time and be all they could be,” Eades said. That covert capability was often made suspect by the physical builds of the Spetnatz troops, who were typically over six feet tall and heavily muscled. “It’s very hard to infiltrate a guy who looks like Charlie Atlas,” Eades said.

Indonesia moving ahead with plans for nuclear plans

2005-03-25T21:44:00.000+07:00

PARIS : Indonesia is moving ahead with plans for a civilian nuclear power program, Jakarta's ambassador to the UN atomic agency Thomas Aquino Sriwidjaja said in Paris.

Speaking at a conference on nuclear power here, Sriwidjaja said Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim country, was "preparing to operate a nuclear power plant by most likely in the next decade."

Like Iran, which the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is investigating on US charges that it is secretly developing nuclear weapons, Indonesia is a major oil producer.

Nevertheless, Sriwidjaja said Indonesia is having difficulties meeting its domestic energy demand. "The oil and gas reserves in Indonesia are insufficient to balance the rapidly increasing demand for energy, particularly in the form of electricity," he said.

An IAEA-supported study found that Indonesia needs an energy mix "in which the contribution of oil should be reduced and replaced by gas, coal, renewable energy and other alternative energy, including nuclear energy," Sriwidjaja said.

He said Indonesia was seeking help from developed nuclear states in technology, investment and research and would fight anti-nuclear sentiment with a public information program.

Indonesia has also implemented anti-terrorist measures to protect its nuclear research facilities. - AFP

Indonesia 'bugged' Australia

2005-02-19T22:19:00.000+07:00

In an extraordinary admission Indonesia says it bugged Australia's embassy in Jakarta during the East Timor crisis and has tried to recruit Australians as spies.

Retiring Indonesian intelligence chief General Abdullah Mahmud Hendropriyono has claimed his agency tapped Australian civil and military communications and politicians' phone calls.

His agency's attempt to recruit Australians to spy for Indonesia had been unsuccessful, he said.

But former intelligence service officer David Reed repeated a claim that Australians were working for the Indonesians.

"They would have been pulling plum product out of Canberra," he told Channel Nine's Sunday program.

"This goes into the heart of our intelligence system, and I mean, including, and I specifically add this, the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS)."

The Indonesian claims are unusual in that while everyone knows Indonesia and Australia spy on each other, they rarely admit that they do it.

Leaks during the East Timor operation in 1999 revealed that Australia was comprehensively eavesdropping on Indonesian military communications.
General Hendropriyono, who headed the Badan Intelijen Negara under president Megawati Soekarnoputri's government, said it was well known that governments tapped each other's communications and Indonesia had much evidence its embassies abroad were bugged.

"Here, also, we did the same thing. We want to know what is really discussed about us," he told Sunday .

"We can say this is a public secret. You know, secret but the whole public knows. This is quite common intelligence activity."

General Hendropriyono said he presumed Australia did the same thing to Indonesia. "She is silly if she doesn't do that, you know."

Asked if Indonesian intelligence had been able to recruit anyone in Australia to work for it, he said: "Almost, but not yet."

He said the spying had ended because Indonesia and Jakarta now faced a common enemy in global terrorism.

Mr Reed, a former officer in the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) which gathers intelligence overseas, repeated his claim that Australians were working for the Indonesians.

Mr Reed said he would only tell what he knew to a royal commission on the intelligence agencies if one were set up. Defence specialist Alan Behm said that if Mr Reed had such evidence he should pass it on to the police or ASIO.

Mr Behm, who was head of the international policy division of the Australian Defence Force during the Timor crisis, said he was not surprised by the claims though there seemed to be "a bit of braggadocio" about them.

He said Indonesia would certainly have wanted to find out, for example, what forces Australia was sending to East Timor.

Mr Behm said Australia was also watching Indonesia.

Australia had a big military staff in Jakarta and part of its job was to keep an eye on the senior Indonesian military leadership.

"We kept a very good eye on them," he said.

"In the same way that we work everybody else, they worked us. They sought to talk to us about all sorts of things. They'd talk to everybody.

"To believe that because they had a fairly active information or intelligence gathering program that they had penetrated in some way the Australian Government is a pretty long hop, skip and jump."

Indonesian ambassador Imron Cotan said he could not comment and referred The Age to General Hendropriyono.

Prime Minister John Howard said later he could neither confirm nor deny claims about national security.

He said Australian democracy was safe, its policy on East Timor was 100 per cent correct and its relations with Indonesia remained very strong.

A spokesman for Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said it was not the first time that foreign intelligence agencies had made such claims.

"But we just don't comment on intelligence matters."

Opposition Foreign Affairs spokesman Kevin Rudd said he would seek a briefing from the Government on the general's claims.

Spy catching caused Jakarta rift

2005-02-19T22:17:00.000+07:00

An Australian spy's cover was blown in a counter-espionage operation mounted by Indonesia in an extraordinary event that sheds light on relations between Jakarta and Canberra before the East Timor crisis.

The sting occurred in September 1997, several intelligence sources say.

The Australian Secret Intelligence Service agent had arranged to receive documents from a key Indonesian contact, believed to be a military intelligence officer.

The document drop occurred in Jakarta but, unbeknown to both spies, they were being observed by Indonesian counter-intelligence officers.

As he picked up the documents left for him, the ASIS agent was collared by the Indonesians and strong protests relayed to the Australian embassy in Jakarta.

Within days the officer had been quietly shuttled out of the country, never to work in intelligence services again.

A Herald investigation over several months has uncovered the agent's name, which, for legal reasons, cannot be published. He was operating under diplomatic cover and was not declared to the Indonesians as a spy, as is sometimes the case.

Australia was deeply embarrassed but, following discussions at the highest level that are believed to have included the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Alexander Downer, both countries agreed to keep the incident secret.

A spokesman for Mr Downer said yesterday that the Government "could not confirm or deny or offer any comment".

"Of course it went to Downer," an intelligence source said. "Of course, the Prime Minister was informed.

"These situations have the potential to blow out into extremely tricky situations. They would have had to work out a strategy to handle it."

In the world of espionage there are few more disturbing developments than a foreign government uncovering a spy's identity - especially when it occurs at a time of acute instability, as was the case with Indonesia in 1997.

On that there was universal agreement. As to the incident's consequences, opinion varies. "It was just one of those unlucky breaks that happens from time to time," a former intelligence figure said.

"It was as embarrassing to the Indonesians as it was to Australia. You see, we had obviously penetrated their intelligence network. They wanted to keep it quiet, as much as we did."

What emerged was a "gentleman's agreement" common in the spying game, the source said.

"The Indonesians are trying to pull the same stunts here all the time. Everybody does it. The Indonesians knew they were in trouble if they went public. They knew damn well that would have been tit-for-tat."

Others take a less benign view. First, it was highly likely that the Indonesians had been tracking the agent for some time, observing his movements and contacts and developing a rare, detailed picture of the Australian and US intelligence in Indonesia.

"ASIS agents have extensive contacts with the CIA, both socially and professionally," said another source who is familiar with ASIS operations in the region. "And then, of course, they would have been able to observe which Indonesian contacts the agent was running.

"The sting would have been the end of the story, in many ways, rather than the beginning."

By choosing to inform Australia, Indonesia was intent on causing maximum discomfort, putting Australia's intelligence agents and the government on the back foot, he said. And, then, what happened to the Indonesian operative who was caught up in the sting?

According to one account, he was executed, causing anger in sections of the Indonesian military.

The Herald has learnt that the fallout of the incident included death threats made to another Australian living in Jakarta at the time who, while innocent, shared the same name as the ASIS agent.

What is certain is that the incident coincided with the beginning of a period of turmoil in Indonesia that wrong-footed Australian policy makers.

The financial crisis that racked Indonesia was in full swing in 1997, setting off a chain of events that led to Indonesia's president Soeharto being deposed the next year.

By 1998 Australian intelligence reports were revealing increased militia activity in East Timor, aided by the Indonesian defence forces.

The alarming reports of organised violence against pro-independence East Timorese and warnings of violent consequences of the independence ballot to be held in 1999 were discounted or ignored by defence and foreign affairs officials in Canberra.

It was in mid-1998 that a new intelligence sharing agreement between Australia and the US was forged, largely giving Australia carriage of Indonesia in terms of signals intelligence and with ASIS agents on the ground gathering human intelligence.

As Australia's leaders continued to play down the increasing violence in East Timor and the culpability of the Indonesian government, the US became frustrated, and a schism developed in the relationship.

At this time Merv Jenkins, the Defence Intelligence Organisation liaison officer in Washington, was castigated by superiors for passing unauthorised Australian material to his US counterparts about what was happening in East Timor.

Despondent at his treatment by Canberra, Mr Jenkins committed suicide in 1999.

Benarlah bahwa kita tak tahu apa yang kita dapatkan sampai kita kehilangan itu?
Tetapi benar juga bahwa kita tidak tahu apa yang hilang sampai itu ada.

Hanya butuh 1 menit untuk dapat suka dengan seseorang, hanya butuh 1 jam untuk menyukai seseorang dan 1 hari untuk mencintai seseorang tapi butuh waktu seumur hidup untuk melupakan seseorang. Pergilah untuk seseorang yang membuatmu tersenyum karena hanya butuh senyuman untuk membuat hari yang gelap terlihat terang.

Mungkin Tuhan menginginkan kita untuk bertemu dengan orang yang tidak tepat sebelum bertemu orang yang tepat.
Jadi ketika kita akhirnya bertemu dengan orang yang tepat,kita akan tahu betapa berharganya anugerah tersebut.

Ketika pintu kebahagiaan tertutup, yang lain terbuka.Tetapi kadang - kadang kita menatap terlalu lama pada pintu yang telah tertutup itu
sehingga kita tidak melihat pintu lain yang telah terbuka untuk
kita.

Ada hal yang sangat ingin kamu dengar tetapi tidak akan pernah kamu dengar dari orang yang dari mereka kamu ingin dengar.
Tetapi jangan sampai kamu menjadi tuli walaupun kamu tidak mendengar itu dari seseorang yang mengatakan itu dari hatinya.

Jangan pernah berkata selamat tinggal jika kamu masih ingin mencoba.
Jangan menyerah selama kamu merasa masih dapat maju.
Jangan pernah berkata kamu tidak mencintai orang itu lagi bila kamu tidak bisa membiarkannya pergi.

Jangan melihat dari wajah, itu bisa menipu.
Jangan melihat kekayaan, itu bisa menghilang.
Datanglah kepada seseorang yang dapat membuatmu tersenyum
karena sebuah senyuman dapat membuat hari yang gelap menjadi cerah.Berharaplah kamu dapat menemukan seseorang yang dapat membuatmu tersenyum

SVR Consultant Kirpichenko Intelligence, Spies, Past Contacts with CIA Directors
VREMYA NOVOSTEY (Moscow)
Monday, December 20, 2004

Interview by Nikolay Poroskov of Consultant to the Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, Lt-Gen Vadim Kirpichenko on the role of intelligence in the world, spies past and present and his past contacts with directors of the CIA: "By Violating the Laws of Other Countries, We are Protecting Our Own."

(FBIS Translated Text)

"By Violating the Laws of Other Countries, We Are Protecting Our Own."
Interview by Nikolay Poroskov

Today, Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) is celebrating its latest anniversary. Speaking about a few pages from the history of this special service with Vremya Novostey correspondent Nikolay Poroskov is the consultant to the director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Lt-Gen Vadim Kirpichenko, past director of Directorate "S" (illegal intelligence), and later deputy director of foreign intelligence.

(Poroskov) -- You are the only one of our intelligence agents who has met with seven directors of the CIA. One of them, William Colby, called you a friend and colleague. How did you manage to receive such a flattering assessment from your primary adversary? And what sort of people are these directors of the CIA?

(Kirpichenko) -- Naturally, "friendship" applies to the latest period, when we began to actively establish partnership relations. National intelligence will always exist, there will always be competition and confrontation, however, there are issues that would be impossible to resolve without partnership. These would include terrorism, money laundering, nuclear weapons proliferation, the drug mafia... We began to encounter these "terrible monsters," as they seemed to us before. It worked out that the director of our service entrusted me to provide hospitality to the heads of the CIA. I met up with Colby at a variety of international conferences devoted to the future of intelligence and established a good relationship with him. He told me many interesting things, and he called himself a dissident in the CIA. Indeed, they have no love for him there since he tried to place this department under the control of the Congress, he was the author of a number of laws that limited the CIA's activities, primarily with regard to "bumping off" people.

Another acquaintance of mine, Stansfield Turner, is also considered a person that is not very loyal to the CIA, since, being a four-star admiral, he wanted to instill military order and discipline there. The CIA directors turned out to have the makings of good bureaucrats (in the best sense of the word), with a very good memory, not nervous. They so cunningly carried on a conversation that any answer you gave to a question would give them satisfaction.

(Poroskov) -- Today in the American intelligence structures, major changes are underway, the likes of which have not been seen since the creation of the CIA in 1949. What does the SVR expect to come from these changes?

(Kirpichenko) -- What all of this might portend for Russian intelligence is difficult to say at this point. However, the Americans can now see one thing clearly: their intelligence services are ineffective, since the events of 11 September were prepared for on US territory, and for a rather long time at that, with dozens of people taking part. The reorganization of the system is meant to make sure that something like that never happens again: so that not a single alarm signal is missed, so that the departmental barriers between the intelligence services become a bit thinner. However, the director of the CIA is still the senior operational chief over the rest.

(Poroskov) -- The CIA is under the control of the Congress. But under whose control is the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service?

(Kirpichenko) -- That is an interesting question. From the moment of its creation on December 20, 1920, and up until 1992, we operated in a state of complete lawlessness. Generally speaking, there are very few laws on intelligence activities. Legislation is more or less developed in the US, in all of the European civilized countries there are laws that regulate intelligence activities to a certain extent. Before, we violated the laws of the country in which we were working (which is natural), and we were not protected by any of our own laws. Therefore, when the Soviet Union began to collapse and ultimately disintegrated, when the KGB was disbanded, Yevgeniy Maksimovich Primakov quickly understood the tragedy of our situation, and we began to work with the parliamentarians and military intelligence to prepare a draft law "On Foreign Intelligence Activities." On June 8, 1992, that law was adopted. Now, when we violate the laws of another country, at least we are protected by our own.

We are under the control of the president and his administration, because intelligence is directly subordinated to the president and only the president. However, various commissions and committees in parliament also have a right of control that is not total. For example, the Budget Committee knows how much money we spend and under what articles. The leaders of intelligence are invited to the committees (for security, for international affairs) and Duma commissions discuss our activities. However, operational affairs are the prerogative of the president.

(Poroskov) -- I have always been troubled by the fact that the people from the parliamentary committees who control your intelligence service, who possess information that is "not for all ears," are still temporary persons: if they are not reelected, they take that information with them...

(Kirpichenko) -- They do not know any agents, nor do they know about any specific operations. And they do not need to know. They are aware of the primary areas of our activities that are also written into the law: political intelligence, scientific and technical, economic security, domestic security... Ecological security is a relatively new area.

(Poroskov) -- Does information obtained through intelligence always become reality in the form of concrete actions by the state?

(Kirpichenko) -- Our information has always been governed by our chiefs. They might tell us: No, no. that would upset Leonid Ilich.

We don't need to give out that information. Now we tell it like it is, we report to the top people and take responsibility for our information.

The "feudal right to the first night" has emerged here, i.e. the ability to report directly to the president. Intelligence is improving. It took 23 years from the moment of the founding of the VChK in order to see the need for an analytical service: it was created in the second half of 1943, and prior to that information was forwarded in "live" form": "Agent 'X' said..." Without an analytical service, intelligence was not able to flow from one day to the next, it was rife with disinformation.

But the intelligence report is only half the picture. Will the president, the government be in a position to do anything based on the material contained therein if it is a hundred times accurate? What if the economic ability to bring to life what intelligence has been reported is not there? Since the early 70s of the last century, the USSR began to lag noticeably behind in its economic development and it was impossible for us to immediately reproduce something, it was done selectively. But intelligence obtained almost everything that was needed: models, documentation.

(Poroskov) -- When possible, the intelligence community helps out its associates who have gotten in trouble. However, Aldrich Ames who did so much to uncover "moles" inside the SVR and GRU remains behind bars. Has the leadership of your service given the president any recommendations to exchange Ames for one of the guys caught by our counterintelligence?

(Kirpichenko) -- Indeed, why not make an exchange? But there are many issues here. Does Ames want this? Understand, there is no communication with him in order to discuss this issue. But it is a vital one. To my knowledge, the question of an exchange has not been discussed.

(Poroskov) -- Nevertheless, today the SVR acknowledges that Ames cooperated with it? Previously this question was left blowing in the breeze.

(Kirpichenko) -- The fact of this cooperation was acknowledged by Primakov way back when, but then the topic never came up again for some reason. I think that Ames could have turned in Kalugin, our "excellent" traitor. In the press there was a great deal of discussion regarding his treason, but in June of last year the Moscow Municipal Court sentenced Kalugin in absentia to 15 years imprisonment in a maximum security penal colony under the article "state treason."

(Poroskov) -- It seems to me that as the miner's profession is invariably connected to coal dust, so the spy's craft is to treason. But in recent years for some reason nothing has been heard of any traitors. Have they ceased to exist?

(Kirpichenko) -- When our one system died, but the second had not yet been born, some traitors preferred to flee to their masters. You are correct in that on the front lines, when an intelligence agent crosses paths with counterintelligence agents sometimes he ends up in a situation that he can't get himself out of. I have discussed the nature of treason with former directors of the CIA. Treason is a conglomeration of various types of vices, weaknesses. It is psychological instability, family discord, running from a wife one doesn't love, forever worrying about one's health -- one imagines that he is terminally ill and can only be healed in another country. Some have appealed to the enemy in the hopes of curing their child who suffered at Chernobyl. Some have even resorted to treason to get their boss into trouble. And finally, money.

There have never been any purely ideological warriors for the wonderful capitalist system.

(Poroskov) -- There have been known instances when a citizen of a western country who worked for the USSR for a long time and for whatever circumstances ended up living here with us became very disenchanted, even to the point that he could not fall asleep to the "music" of a dripping faucet and suffered from boorishness.

(Kirpichenko) -- Some went back and some adapted.

(Poroskov) -- Michael Souther, who took the name Orlov in the (Soviet) Union, in the early 90s committed suicide in the prime of his life. Did he not adapt?

(Kirpichenko) - He left relatives behind there. It could be that he expected to see something different here. It could be that the marriage he had here was unsuccessful. He was a frail man, a dreamer, very excitable, and he had a breakdown from the complete change in everything.

Nevertheless, when leaving this life he requested to be buried in a Soviet intelligence officer's uniform. He gave no reason to believe that he had become disappointed in his intelligence work.

(Poroskov) -- Are any of our intelligence agents in foreign prisons today?

(Kirpichenko) -- The Americans insidiously, posing as Russian intelligence agents, looked into our archives and approached former agents with whom they had not had contact and put them behind bars, including Robert Lipka, who was turned in by Kalugin. There aren't very many of them.

(Poroskov) -- Can anything be done for them?

(Kirpichenko) -- That is a forbidden topic. The only thing we can do for them belongs to the field of delicate intelligence technology. Starting from the post-war times and up until 1991, we helped out everybody, and nobody was left behind and forgotten. Back then the socialist countries also helped us.

(Poroskov) -- Apparently the only form of assistance available to an arrested agent is an exchange. Can anything be sent to him in prison?

(Kirpichenko) -- Lawyers could be hired and we could use political activists who are sympathetic toward Russia. In such a delicate affair as saving our people we have our own technologies, techniques and capabilities that shouldn't be mentioned even on the occasion of a holiday.

(Poroskov) -- Recently somewhere I heard a phrase that is offensive to the service: The SVR has become a restricted-access type information agency. Could it be that this was a hint that the only information coming in from aboard is information gleaned from open sources?

(Kirpichenko) -- We have in no way rejected acquiring sources for obtaining secret information. Maybe the people who make up such phrases mean that working with open information sources is acquiring greater significance. The Americans write that they obtain 80 percent of their intelligence information from such sources. As a man who has done a great deal of work "in the field" I can say that 5 percent of secret information more than covers the other 95 percent, but one must provide some general background -- and that is where working with open sources comes into play. If an intelligence agent doesn't have a handle on the situation in a given country, he cannot evaluate important information, it will go right over his head. Secret and open-source information is transformed into a kind of single whole.

(Poroskov) -- In his book 'The Craft of Intelligence,' Dulles back in the 40s wrote that someday radars would find agents like Mata Hari. Has his prediction that technology-derived intelligence would replace agent-derived intelligence proven true?

(Kirpichenko) -- What goes on in the mind of people who are making a final decision can't be picked up by any radar or laser. A man shares his thoughts with his surroundings -- that is where one must have a source in order to know his true plans. But when you have satellites that are capable of tracking an area all the way down to a square meter, the role of visual intelligence decreases.

(Poroskov) -- Before, people gladly went to serve in intelligence if for no other reason the fact that traveling abroad was exotic. One acquired the opportunity to make some money and buy some things with checks at the 'Beryozka'. Now that is available to practically everybody. Nevertheless, people are still coming to you. Who are they?

(Kirpichenko) -- Before it was indeed a very prestigious profession, and when we approached a person and made an offer, turndowns were a very rare occurrence. Then the banker's profession became more prestigious.

But the situation is changing and many young people are beginning to understand that state service is significantly more stable, and even though the pay is less, there are guarantees of another sort. There is also the question of the essence of the profession itself. What is an intelligence agent?

An international specialist, area specialist, linguist (the norm in intelligence is two languages), psychologist (from the second or third meeting he must figure out who that foreigner is standing in front of him), and cover work (diplomat, journalist, trade worker). He is a psychologically full-fledged man, intense, athletic, a hunter-tracker: He can walk out of the embassy, "sniff the air" and figure out if there is danger. An intelligence agent must be able to drive a vehicle, have excellent reactions, and be attuned to the fact that he could end up under police pressure, and he must be able to determine if he is under outside surveillance. If he can do all of that, then it could be an interesting profession.

(Poroskov) -- Intelligence is a dangerous business. And not only in the sense that one could get arrested or kicked out of the country. There are many stories about how people simply get beat up, poisoned and finally, have their windows bombarded with microwaves. Are you aware of any such instances?

(Kirpichenko) -- All of that has happened, but I would not say that it has happened on a massive scale. They have tried to take people out who in their view were especially dangerous, to include with the use of forceful techniques. When we meet with our partners from the other intelligence services we explain: in the interests of our national security we conduct intelligence work, but using civilized methods, since the law "On Foreign Intelligence" does not allow us to engage in any other form of work: pressure, using compromising situations, drugs -- only on the basis of the voluntary cooperation of the source. And we are counting on an appropriate reaction from our partners. In any event, we are not seeing an increase in forceful techniques. I cannot cite any such instances in recent years. The chiefs of intelligence meet amongst themselves, and after this it is difficult to make the decision to belabor one of their men.

(Poroskov) -- And when an intelligence agent "catches" someone surveilling him?

(Kirpichenko) -- Surveillance operatives don't like it when an intelligence agent taunts them, tries to break away from them or plays foolish games. They respect when an intelligence agent, if necessary, tries to drop out of sight delicately. At first, a person in front of a television camera is nervous, thrown off, but then he gets used to it. The same is true for outside surveillance. The spy's profession is dangerous, both with regard to its psychological stresses and stressful situations. A person with a weak psyche doesn't stay in this line of work for long. The world is little by little trying to get on the civilized path, the threat of direct nuclear confrontation has weakened, and there is seemingly no need to twist each other's arms, to throw people in prison and beat people in every situation. Although, in the East, where they live by a different set of rules, they don't pay much mind to heads and broken bones.

(Poroskov) -- Right now are there any people of the caliber of Rudolf Abel and Konon Molodyy (alternately spelled Conon Molody a.k.a. Gordon Arnold Lonsdale) working "in the field" and "in the cold?"

(Kirpichenko) -- Of course. There exists a kind of general misconception in this regard. Why did Abel and Molodyy become known to the whole world? Because both were betrayed by the latter and the other ended up in prison, and both were exchanged. Yet just a few years ago we buried a Hero of the Soviet Union under a pseudonym. Because his real identity could not be revealed: he had just finished his work. I would like to express a rebellious idea: it could be that among those who worked over there a very long time, were not exposed, returned to this country and died here quietly we could find some who have accomplished at least as much as those people you mentioned. I would call the great illegals Akhmerov and Zarubin great spies. But since there were no ecumenical scandals, trials, imprisonment and liberation surrounding them, they simply passed by unnoticed. And then journalists write: his motherland didn't appreciate him.

(Poroskov) -- The Americans have an intelligence community consisting of more than ten organizations. As they say, this allows them to coordinate their work without duplicating each other's efforts. Do we need such an intelligence community?

(Kirpichenko) -- We have an intelligence community within the framework of the Security Council, and it coordinates the work of the special services and gives the president recommendations as to how to develop them. But it is only supposed to exercise a coordinating role on very important issues - interaction, determining orientation, and assigning missions. The Security Council does not delve into the everyday concerns of each force structure or in concrete operational matters. Today there exists an understanding and known harmony between our special services. They are independent in making decisions and there is no nit-picking tutelage. With regard to the SVR being independent, there are more pluses than minuses. There are drawbacks in that there are now fewer contacts with the counterintelligence subunits on the associates' level. They have moved to the higher levels.

(Poroskov) -- Within the Russian government there is a structure that deals with financial monitoring. For some reason it is called financial intelligence. But it is not quite the same thing as intelligence, for example, in the US Department of the Treasury. Do we need something along that line?

(Kirpichenko) -- We have economic intelligence, which sees to it that our country is not drawn into any financial or economic adventures. I have not seen any materials on US financial intelligence for many years, so I do not have a very good idea about what they are engaged in. I think that it is a small structure. From history I recall that in the past the Department of the Treasury and financial intelligence at one time were assigned the function of providing personal protection to the president of the US. As concerns Russian reality, I do not have the foggiest idea of what financial intelligence should be. Should we have financial intelligence station chiefs? What should they penetrate? That would be an expensive venture.

I think that the tax people and the Accounting Bureau are sufficient.

Incidentally, they do come to us on occasion. Sometimes they have come to the wrong place, for example, if they want us to check out some small firm somewhere. We do not service private firms, just state institutions. If, for example, large deliveries of gas abroad are planned and they need to know the status of a certain large corporation, such information could be gathered by intelligence.

(Poroskov) -- Liberal politicians in Russia often express fears with regard to the fact that today in the authority structures there are many people from intelligence, starting from the president and the defense minister. What is your assessment of this?

(Kirpichenko) -- Read academic Sakharov, who said the following: in our country there is only one uncorrupted institution -- the KGB, where intelligence bureaucrats sit, but they do not steal. With this Sakharov helped the prestige of state security, since there is no way anybody would ever accuse him of being sympathetic to the KGB. Indeed, an intelligence bureaucrat's caste has formed. But I do not want to say that all among us were without sin, for there were also some with dirt on their hands. President Putin, when he appointed people from intelligence, apparently proceeded also from the notion that an intelligence agent is a realist, since his assessments of phenomena and events are sufficiently dependent on how objective his information is. In our Soviet past that is the way it was. An ambassador would be interested in seeing to it that our state's influence and credits flowed into the country in which he represented the USSR, or so that in the Kremlin they would accept a certain man. The chief military adviser would say: we need to arm the army of this country, add to that our advisers, and then we will better be able to influence events. The trade representative would cry: they say give us lumber, flour and oil; we will give more and this will revitalize trade. In other words, these people were engaged from the outset. But then the intelligence agent would provide negative information, often raising objections against all three.

Mining information and acquiring sources spares the intelligence agent from having to, as the French say, "chevaucher les chimeres" -- ride chimeras. Infatuation with ideas, sensations and fantasies for us is impermissible. An intelligence agent is never late: when meeting with an agent one must arrive not early, not late, but precisely at the appointed time, otherwise the meeting loses its meaning. I welcome the appointment of intelligence agents to government posts, because I know that nobody will lure them into questionable deals -- they are of a different nature.

(Poroskov) -- Intelligence is, of course, a serious matter. But you, for example, are known as a man with a fine sense of humor. Tell us something cheerful about intelligence...

(Kirpichenko) -- In our secret journal they publish professional jokes. I'll read you one from the time of the Afghan war: "He consciously participated in the gang, but he didn't understand its objectives and missions"; "Approximately 43 men were captured." During a meeting with the leaders of the intelligence service of a particular eastern country, a member of our delegation sat down at the piano and began to play a stirring piece. The guests were amazed: an intelligence agent, a general, and now suddenly he's playing an instrument like that! The head of the delegation thought that they had an identical sense of humor to our own and he joked that he used to be engaged in illegal work under the cover of a blind musician. "So, how is his vision now?" asked our partners. And here's Primakov's favorite joke. One illegal was called in by the chief who said, "You lucked out -- you're going to America undercover as a millionaire. After a few months of training the chief called him in again and said, "You know, your cover has changed -- now you're going as a one-legged pauper."

What It Takes To Be A Marine Scout/Sniper

By SGT Lance M. Bacon, MCB Camp Lejeune, N.C.

Books, movies and television make the life of the Marine Scout/Sniper look glorious and romantic; but they don't tell the whole story. Marines from 3/8 tell what it really takes to be one of them.

After only a few hours of sleep, members of 3d Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment's Scout/Sniper Platoon awoke to the North Carolina darkness and a wet welcome left by the high humidity.

A short time earlier, the Marines had completed a 22-click (22 km) movement, through thick, sharp vegetation and waist-high swamps. Today, they would stalk their way to an enemy observation post where they would greet the occupant with one life-taking shot.

But there was more to this day than met the eye. Despite their deadly accuracy at ranges of 1,000 meters, the Scout/Snipers were to get within 200 meters of their target. To do so, each would have to move across vegetation in varying shades of color and an occasional open area.

Nature also threw other obstacles into the scenario. The warm sun had dried the ground which, together with a lack of wind, amplified the slightest sounds made by the Scout/Snipers as they painstakingly moved through the vegetation. Birds had sought refuge from the sun in the trees and could easily be stirred by one wrong move. Even the slight breeze that did occasionally blow ran over the Marines' backs, carrying their scent directly to the enemy position.

But it was at that position where the Scout/Sniper's greatest challenge resided. Upon the enemy post sat one of their own Marines, seasoned in the art of sniping. Carefully poised with a set of binoculars, the Marine slowly searched the area before him for the slightest sign of an intruder. Neither side took their role lightheartedly; second place in this environment equals an end to everything.

For many Marines, the thought of such activity is an enticing one. Fueled by the image of snipers found in books, movies, and posters, many Leathernecks would welcome the challenge of being a Scout/Sniper. Most of those movies, books, and posters fail to tell the full story of life as a Scout/Sniper, however. While such training is not uncommon in their ranks, it is only a small portion of what the job entails, according to Sgt. Craig T. Douglas, a section leader with 3/8's Scout/Sniper Platoon.

"It takes desire, drive, and a lot of heart to be a Scout/Sniper," he said. "Operational commitments and tempos are very high-paced. The Marines here endure a lot of fatigue, both physically and mentally, and have to be able to remain proficient throughout. If you don't love living in the field getting dirty, cut up, moving in waist-deep swamps, getting in fistfights with bugs, and staying cold for weeks at a time then this isn't the job for you."

To ensure a Marine can perform under such conditions, the platoon combines an intense flow of education with a continuous training cycle.

"We give the Marines as much information as they can possibly handle," said Douglas, a native of Athens, Ohio. "We go over the information time and time again, pounding it in until it becomes second nature. When it's time for our people to work, they only know one way to do it, and that's the right way."

But in order to do it the right way, the Marines must use a wide range of resources. Since they usually work in two- to four-man teams, they must be able to move over long distances carrying as much as 100 pounds each, and be able to operate proficiently as fatigue takes hold.

The platoon members must also learn a variety of field skills since they are often relied upon for intelligence gathering as well as sniping, according to Douglas.

"Field skills are just as important as being able to shoot well," he said. "The field skills of each platoon member must be far and above the abilities and knowledge of the average infantryman. Each must to be able to call in supporting arms and close air support. Because we use a variety of communications equipment, we have to be as good as any radio operator in the Marine Corps.

"Once we gather the intelligence, we have to get it back to the unit we are supporting," Douglas said. "It could be the security of a landing zone, whether the ground composition or obstacles will prohibit a landing, enemy aircraft in an area, or a surf or beach report to assist amphibious landings.

"Regardless of the situation, if we can't get that information back, then we're no good out there. All we'll do is give away the battalion's intent."

While performing in that role, the Scout/Sniper must also possess a level of discipline and judgment that allows him to endure the incredibly patient and calculated movements required to probe, unseen and unheard, deep into hostile area.

"Through the Scout/Sniper Platoon, the battalion commander has immediate reconnaissance assets he can use beyond the Forward Edge of the Battle Area and beyond his forward-most company," said 1stLt. Robert S. Peterson, platoon commander. "The commander will need eyes and ears on an objective 24 hours prior to an attack. In order to get into a good position silently and unseen, the Scout/Snipers will usually use 24 to 48 hours of movement time."

As a result, the teams are commonly in areas of possible danger 48 to 72 hours ahead of the rifle companies. Beyond the skills required by such activity, the Scout/Sniper must also possess the marksmanship abilities that have become their hallmark and a valuable asset to combat operations.

"We're called Scout/Snipers because the scouting role comes first," said Douglas. "If you get to take a shot or are shooting in support of a mission, that's all good and well, but the missions are primarily scout-based, " added Douglas, who has spent two of his eight years in the Corps as a Scout/Sniper. "We will take a shot in various situations, however, such as in support of light armored or amphibious assault vehicles when they roll up for a hard hit."

Douglas admits that some Marines are interested in becoming a Scout/Sniper because of the glamorous impression the posters and movies create. These Marines, however, are usually filtered out within the first day or two of the week-long indoctrination.

From those who have what it takes, though, a considerable fighting force can be built. Doing so requires a 100 percent commitment, but Peterson feels the effort is well worth the price.

"I would be hard pressed to listen to anyone tell me that this isn't the best platoon in the division," said Peterson, a native of Sioux Falls, S.D. "Each Marine gives all that he has on a daily basis, and has achieved something not easily attained. To be a Scout/Sniper, the Marine must cover the basics of many other military occupational specialties, but he must also have a good working knowledge of the environment and be able to master his own self. These Marines do just that."

bokap dulu umur segini udah merid.....hihihiiii....malahan gue lahir pas bokap umur 24. ngomong2 soal bokap gue he is my hero.....my commander-in-chief. tapi yang gak bisa gue tiru sampe skrg itu social engineering nya....hmmm cool abiss.

yang turun ke gue:
* kekerenannya :) hihihihihihi....

* hobi bacanya.....pas SD gue baca analisis gulf war waktu temen2 gue masih baca komik petruk. gue baca sigmund freud waktu temen2 gue masih baca wiro sableng 212 by bastian tito...hiks....kunyuk melempar buah....ciattttt....pukulan matahari. gue baca matra, almarhum jakartajakarta, tiara waktu temen gue baca ananda en bobo.

gue ingat pas SD temen-temen gue bilang amerika menang di vietnam
apalagi ada felem rambo first blood sekitar taon 86 atao 87 yak....gue di bilang sok tau pas gue bilang AS itu (strictly speaking) kalah padahal gue taunya dari baca analisis di mags yang kayak2 TSM, AS yang memulai AS yang lari terbiritbirit keluar, memang in term of dead and casualties amrik 'cuma' 50 ribuan sementara rakyat vietnam jutjutan.....Human rights?konvensi jenewa...no such thing....AS ngritik pelanggaran HAM orang pelanggaran HAM dia sendiri lebih parah....VietNam, Panama, Grenada, Haiti, Somalia, Irak....Osama??????itu kan temen dia waktu perang dingin, osama dan amerika dengan dinas rahasia CIA-nya fought alongside buat ngadepin common enemy-nya----> the soviet red army.

cruise control edisi yang ada cerita mobilnya juga di bilang itu kontrol pelayaran...padahal itu maksudnya kontrol elektronik yang kalo mobil udah sampe speed tertentu misal 60 kpj maka lepas aja pedal gas nya tuh mobil stabil di 60 kpj jadi gak perlu maintain injakan gas diposisi tsb.
memang kalo jalannya jelek banyak belokan tajam dan mobil fluktuatif kecepatannya cruise control gak bisa main....ini cuma buat jalan yang lega dan panjang.

GANTI TOPIK DULU AHHHH...............

life is daring adventure or nothing at all

All paradise we have are those that are lost

the punchlinenya kayak gini kira2---> masa lalu harusnya gak usah diingat-ingat lagi..biarkan berlalu ya kenangannya ya orangnya....tapi sering kali kita berusaha menghadirkan masa lalu itu ke masa sekarang, berusaha agar masa sekarang itu seperti masa dulu.

ada baiknya ngedenger kata (kalo gak salah) om thomas jefferson.....
change is the law of life

Modern control theory for a VTOL aircraft

Rohin Wood
Without effective control systems, many engineering projects would not be achievable. One discipline that has benefited greatly from advances in control theory is aerospace engineering. Examples of this include "fly by wire" systems. With aerospace vehicle development of ever increasing complexity, a demand arises for control solutions that will satisfy tightening performance requirements. Comprehensive and complete tools for linear control system design have been developed, while research continues for greater performing design methodologies. However, implementation lags theory, and much that has been developed has not been fully extended. The aim of this research is to develop a control system for an abstractly defined aerospace vehicle; a "Hovering Rocket". This vehicle is to encompass many of the challenges common to aerospace control. The control system is to be designed using "modern" control theory. Hence, the principal aim of research is to investigate the validity and practicality of modern control system implementation. Specifically, focus is placed upon theory that has not yet been fully researched.

I used to call you my girl
I used to call you my friend
I used to call you the love
The love that I never had
When I think of you
I don't know what to do
When will I see you again

I miss you like crazy
Even more than words can say
I miss you like crazy
Every minute of every day
Girl I'm so down
When your love's not around
I miss you, miss you, miss you
I miss you like crazy

You're all that I want
You're all that I need
(You're all that I need)
Can't you see how I feel
Can't you see that my pain's so real

When I think of you
I don't know what to do
When will I see you again

I miss you like crazy
Even more than words can say
I miss you like crazy
Every minute of every day
Girl I'm so down
When your love's not around
I miss you, miss you, miss you
I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy
Even more than words can say
I miss you like crazy
Every minute of every day
Girl I'm so down
When your love's not around
I miss you, miss you, miss you
I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy
I miss you like crazy
I miss you like crazy

Would you be my girl

"Raining In My Mind"
Since November, I've been waiting for your sunrays to break through
How I wish that I could hold you,
'cause I need you I hope this storm's just passing through
I remember when you eyes and the sky's always shined so blue
Now every time that we're together, it just seems like there is nothing I can do
So I'm playing the waiting game
(Still waiting)
And all I see is rain
(Still raining)
Rain, rain, rain
::Chorus::LyricsCafe.com::
I don't know if you'll ever change
You've been raining since
December I guess it hasn't been all that long
But it seems like it's been forever I can't stop it from pouring down
'Cause you're just like the weather
But I'll be just fine, 'cause I know you'll shine
And until that time, you'll still be raining in my mind
(Raining in my mind)
When I'm dreaming everything is shaded black or white
What ever happened to the colours they've been washed away
By the rain inside my life
{Chorus (Repeat twice)}

Now And Forever
MOFFATS

What would I do
If you took your love away from me
What would I say
I could never make it without you
Yes it's true
I wanna be with only you
Chorus
Now and forever
You and me together
I can't believe it's true
I'm so in love with you
Now and forever
You and me together
I wanna be with you
Now and forever and ever

Being with you
Feels like the sun on a Saturday
Every night
I find myself dreaming of just you
Yes it's true
I wanna be with only you

I'll Be There For You- Bon Jovi

2004-12-03T20:46:00.008+07:00

I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love in suicide

You say you're cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore

Now I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

I know you know we're had some good times
How they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday

And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drink, I'll be the wine

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

And I wan't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

SESI I

Seorang supir lagi nyetirin boss bule Amrik, kebetulan lagi sial. Mobilnya nyodok kendaraan di depannya karena mendadak berhenti. Dengan terbata2 ia minta maaf kpd si boss :
"Sorry Sir, I brake brake, do not eat. After I check the wheel no flower again."
(maaf pak, saya rem-rem nggak makan, setelah saya cek rodanya nggak ada kembangannya lagi)

Begitu si Boss mau ikutan ribut sama yg ditabrak si supir bilang :
"Don't follow mix, Sir! The bring that car if not wrong is the children fruit from manager moneys, he stupid doesn't play! Let he know taste."
(nggak usah ikut campur Pak! Yg bawa mobil itu kalo nggak salah anak buah dari manajer keuangan, dia emang gobloknya bukan main! Biar dia tahu rasa.")

Besoknya si supir gak masuk kerja, terus pas lusanya dia masuk.
Si boss bule nanya, "Why you're not coming?"
Supir: "I am sorry boss, my body is not delicious, my body taste like enter the wind."
(maaf boss, badan saya tidak enak, badan saya rasanya seperti masuk angin)

SESI II

Suatu hari ada bule kehilangan sepeda motornya yg dia parkir didepan toko di sekitar jalan Malioboro, Yogya. Lalu dia bertanya ke Paijo, yg saat itu kebetulan berada di tempat parkir, apakah dia ngeliat org yg ngambil sepeda motornya.
Paijo: "Yes, he use to table square-square. Worth he fast-fast go without any wet expire."
(Iya, dia pakai ke-meja kotak-kotak. Pantes dia cepat-cepat pergi tanpa basa basi).

Lalu dengan sok berwibawa Paijo menasehati si bule tadi :
"Sir, different river, if park bicycle motor liver-liver, yes?"
(Tuan, lain kali kalo parkir sepeda motor hati-hati ya?").

Si bule itu diam saja karena nggak tau mau jawab apa, sehingga Paijo jadi ngedumel, "Basic bule!" ("Dasar bule!")

Karena tambah nggak tau harus ngomong apa lagi, si bule trus ngeloyor pergi, dan dengan PD-nya Paijo bilang, "Breasttttt!" sambil melambaikan tangannya.
Maksudnya: "Dadaaaaa".....................

"jika saya memiliki waktu 50 tahun, maka saya akan menjalaninya sebagai mana adanya"

"jika saya memiliki waktu 15 tahun lagi, saya akan bergiat dan menghasilkan suatu karya yang maksimal.

"jika saya punya waktu 5 tahun lagi, saya akan mengisi hari-hariku penuh kebahagiaan dan keceriaan dengan orang-orang dekat dan sesama"

"jika saya punya waktu 5 bulan lagi, saya akan menyelesaikan sisa-sisa impian yang tertunda"

"jika saya punya waktu 5 jam lagi, saya akan bertemu orang-orang dekat dan teman-teman"

"jika saya punya waktu 5 menit lagi, saya akan mengangkat telepon dan mengatakan "aku cinta kamu" pada orang yang saya sayangi.

love is also like a coconut which is good while it is fresh, but you have to spit it out when the juice is gone what's left tastes bitter *baertolt brecht*

love is what is left over when being in love has burnt away

bagaimanapun jeleknya kau memandang dirimu percayalah diluar sana .....pasti ada satu orang yang menjadikanmu pusat dunianya. hanya saja mungkin kau tak menyadarinya atau kau juga punya pusat dunia yang lain yang tak menyadari dirinya adalah pusat duniamu.

masa depan adalah milik mereka yang percaya keindahan mimpi-mimpi mereka *eleanor roosevelt*

ketika berhadapan dengan masalah carilah jalan tapi bukan jalan keluar *david l. weatherford*

kita menikmati kehangatan karena kita pernah kedinginan
kita menghargai cahaya karena kita pernah dalam kegelapan
kita dapat bergembira karena kita pernah merasakan kesedihan
*david l. weatherford*

changes is law of life
and those who only look at past and present
are certain to miss the future

success is not measured by how well you fulfill the expectations of others, but by how honest you fulfill your own expectations

life is daring adventure or nothing at all

i can accept failure
everyone fails at something
but i can't accept not to try

the greatest failure is failure to try

dan kita sepakat bahwa janji tak selamanya mesti di tepati

mei yang basah adakah di siram hujan atau airmata ketika itu

sedang dahan-dahan patah tanpa musabab

ada memang yang tak perlu di ketahui tetang sesuatu
sebab jika tidak berarti kita telah mencuri catatan waktu

mei tidak bersalah, maka jangan singkirkan ia dari diarimu
karena ia adalah bagian dari potongan waktumu

Jangan Menyepelekan Orang

2004-12-03T20:46:00.002+07:00

pada sebuah potongan masa ketika es krim sundae masih murah, seorang anak laki-laki umur 10 tahun-an masuk ke sebuah coffeshop hotel dan duduk di meja.
seorang pelayan wanita menghampiri dan memberikan air putih di hadapannya. anak itu kemudian bertanya

"berapa ya...harga satu es krim sundae?"
"50 sen" balas sipelayan

si anak kemudian mengeluarkan isi sakunya sambil menghitung koin yang ada di kantongnya

"wah kalau es krim yang biasa saja berapa?" katanya lagi. tapi kali ini orang-orang yang duduk di meja lain sudah mulai banyak dan pelayan ini mulai tak sabar.

"35 sen" jawabnya ketus tak sabaran
anak ini mulai menghitung lagi koin-koin di kantongnya
"bu saya pesan yang biasa saja ya.."

sang pelayan kemudian membawa es krim tersebut, meletakkan bill-nya di meja dan terus melengos berjalan. si anak ini kemudian makan dan membayar di kasir 35 sen lalu pergi.

ketika sipelayan wanita ini kembali untuk membereskan dan membersihkan meja si anak kecil tadi, dia mulai menangis terharu. rapi tersusun di samping piring kecilnya yang kosong, ada 2 buah koin 10 sen dan 5 buah koin 1 sen, total 25 sen.

berarti anak ini sebenarnya memiliki uang 50 sen (35 di bayarnya di kasir + 25 untuk tips pelayan) ia bisa saja memesan es krim sundae yang berharga 50 sen tapi tak ia lakukan karena ia tak memiliki koin yang cukup untuk memberi sang pelayan tips "yang layak".

moral cerita ini: SELALULAH PERHATIKAN DAN INGAT SIAPAPUN YANG ANDA LAYANI.

seiring daun-daun basah
yang ku jumpai di suatu pagi usai hujan
ingatkah kau akan kenangan lama?
tentang belianya usia kita
saat masih merasa masa-masa bersama?
tentang perkemahan banjir
yang mendekatkan kita
tentang putih abu-abu
yang hampir selalu menemani kita bersua
tentang obrolan usai sekolah
yang senantiasa di warnai tatapan
penuh selidik guru kita
tentang pertemuan sela istirahat
di pustaka kita
tentang kelulusan
yang tanpa salam perpisahan itu?
ah bilakah kau tahu?
tentang dusta yang mungkin
(tak kan) pernah kau tahu
yang mungkin telah membuatmu pergi dariku
entahlah...
tapi yang pasti
aku merindukan masa-masa itu...
selamanya...

MEDAN: A GUIDE

hahahaaa...sok banged mau nyaingin buku panduan travelling kelas dunia itu.

things u should know sebelum ke Medan

#PAJAK
jika mendengar orang bilang "saya mau ke pajak" jangan pikir dia orang taat peraturan yang mau bayar pajak. di medan pajak itu artinya pasar

#PASAR
bagi sebagian warga medan pasar itu artinya jalan, jadi "saya duduk-duduk di pasar" berarti duduk2 di jalan

#BUJANG
jangan coba2 bilang bujang karena itu artinya anunya wanita *sori berat cewek2 no offense mean* kalo mau bilang masih bujangan biasanya pake masih lajang

#SEMALAM
kalo mendengar "saya ketemu dia semalam" jangan pikir itu artinya ketemunya malam hari. di medan semalam artinya kemarin, bisa siang bisa malam pokoknya asal kemarin berarti "semalam"

#SUDAKO
angkot pintu belakang (biasanya arah sambu/pusat kota)

#KAKAK
panggilan kakak hanya untuk wanita sedangkan untuk lelaki abang. kalo lo tersesat dan ketemu laki-laki trus elo panggil kakak lo bisa bonyok di tonjokin.

#PS
bukan plaza senayan. ini bisa berarti play station tapi umumnya orang bilang PS untuk menyebut preman di lingkungan itu *PS=pemuda setempat*

#GALON
ini artinya pombensin, kalo loe keabisan bensin jangan tanya di mana pom bensin tapi tanya di mana galon

#KEDAI SAMPAH
jangan pikir ini warung tempat buang sampah atau warung yang jual barang2 afkiran. kedai sampah itu warung yang jual segala macam

#MOCOK-MOCOK
artinya serabutan

#KEMEK
artinya cemilan atau makanan kecil *jangan ngeres soale banyak yang pertama dengar ini nyangka nya yang itu tuhh*

#TEKTEK-AN atau SUMSUM-AN
artinya sama-sama bayar (iuran)

#TEH
kalo minum or makan di warkop trus bilang "tehnya mana" elo bakal di kasih air putih karena buat bilang teh manis dimedan elo harus bilang "manis dingin=teh manis pake es" "manis panas=teh manis panas" "manis hangat=teh manis hangat" jarang banget orang bilang "teh manisnya satu dong".

#CELANA KEPER
ini artinya celana selain jins. pokoknya celana yang lembut2 bahannya

#CELANA LEE
di medan orang menyebut celana jins secara general sebagai celana lee

#KERETA
artinya sepeda motor

#MOTOR
artinya mobil tapi ga semuanya mau pake istilah ini

itu aja dulu ntar gue tambahin lagi.....dalam waktu dekat mungkin bakal gue bikin programnya.

sepotong hujan di batas senja

2004-11-27T19:59:00.003+07:00

sekarang hujan....dingin.....hujan ini tetap sama dengan hujan yang dulu. hanya saja sekarang kau tak di sampingku lagi....ahh entah kenapa hujan selalu membuatku terkenang kamu dik. pada sebuah catatan tentang masa lalu yang pernah kita tulis bersama. aku ingat kembali kota itu... kota di mana salah satu sudutnya telah menyimpan gumpalan kenangan.....yah kisah antara kau dan aku.

kukenang kembali senyum yang mengendap di bibirmu saat kita menyapa gerimis...ah...aku masih ingat ranum bibir itu....tapi masa itu lalu. mungkin kini kau sedang berbagi dengan yang lain dan mungkin kau telah cukup berbahagia dengan itu. selamat...aku ikut bahagia untuk itu karena bahagiamu adalah seluruh harapanku.

memang tak ada pesta yang tak usai, begitupun kebersamaan pasti akan ada titik akhir. biarlah kenangan itu kita simpan, biar menjadi bunga tidur-tidur kita. kelak jika suatu masa....entah kapan....kita bertemu jangan ungkit lagi biarkan kenangan itu pada tempatnya. biarkan ia jadi kenangan saja.

huhuhuuuuu....gile lo ndra kok sentimentil gitu, kesambet luh ya??? hmmm sebenernya gak ada maksud apa-apa gue nulis ini. lagi pengen aja nulis yang mellow-mellow. tapi ini gak ngaruh kok juga gak berarti gue sedang dlm keadaan mellow...gak lah. awalnya ini buat ide cerpen tapi males ngelanjutinnya makanya gak jadi. memang sih terpengaruh kehidupan gue sikit2 *ataw banyak* :)

tentang waktu

2004-11-27T19:59:00.002+07:00

hari terus berlalu seakan terbang menyusuri punggung waktu, kita gak nyadarin sampai ketika kita membuka mata banyak hal yang telah terjadi, banyak hal yang telah lewat. waktu sejatinya memang selalu berjalan kedepan dan gak akan pernah surut kebelakang. orang arab punya pepatah "waktu itu ibarat pedang, jika kau tak memotongnya maka yang akan ia memotongmu".

saya teringat sebuah tulisan yang bagus banget tentang seorang atlit muda yang berbakat dan punya prestasi. dia bisa saja jadi pemain kelas dunia tapi ia menunda-nunda padahal kesempatan itu telah datang.

he was younger once, and had everything at the right place. but somehow he took it for granted, he wanted things that really didn't matter. now that he wants his place in the sun, the clouds may have already rolled in. it may be too late.

di sebuah buku motivasi saya juga pernah baca: kesempatan itu seperti awan yang berlalu, jadi manfaatkan selagi ia masih berada di depanmu.

ah...berbicara memang mudah tapi kenyataan gak selalu seideal itu kan? pasti ada alasan dia gak memanfaatkan kesempatan yang datang at least dia pasti punya justifikasi untuk itu.

i'm 15 for a moment
caught between 10 and 20
and i'm just dreaming
counting the ways to where you are

i'm 22 for a moment
she feels better than ever
and we're on fire
making our way back from mars

15....there'is still time for you
time to buy and time to lose
15...there's never a wish better than this

when you only got 100 years to live....

i'm 33 for a moment
still the man but you see i'm a they
a kid on the way
a family on my mind

i'm 45 for a moment
the sea is high
and i'm heading into crisis
chasing the years of my life

15....there'is still time for you
time to buy and time to lose yourself
within a morning star

15....i'm all right with you
15....there's never a wish better than this

when you only got 100 years to live....

half time goes by
suddenly you're wise
another blink of an eye
67 is gone
the sun is getting high
we're move on...

i'm 99 for a moment
dying for just another moment
and i'm just dreaming
counting the ways to where you are

15...there's still time for you
22....i feel her too
33...you're on your way
every day's a new day

15....there'is still time for you
time to buy and time to choose
hey 15....there's never a wish better than this

when you only got 100 years to live....

andhra @ kosku yang sepi sabtu jam 3 subuh.....tidur ndra.

Cinta Seperti Menunggu Bis

2004-11-27T19:59:00.001+07:00

Patas AC atau Miniarta yang kamu mau ?

Cinta itu seperti seseorang yang menunggu bis. Sebuah bis datang, dan kamu bilang, "Wah.. terlalu sumpek dan panas, nggak bisa duduk nyaman nih! aku tunggu bis berikutnya saja."

Kemudian, bis berikutnya datang. Kamu melihatnya dan berkata, "Aduh bisnya kurang asik nih dan kok gak cakep begini.. nggak mau ah.."

Bis selanjutnya datang, cool dan kamu berminat, tapi dia seakan-akan tidak melihatmu dan melewatimu begitu saja.

Bis keempat berhenti di depan kamu. Bis itu kosong, cukup bagus, tapi kamu bilang, "Nggak ada AC nih, gua bisa kepanasan". Maka kamu membiarkan bis keempat pergi.

Waktu terus berlalu, kamu mulai sadar bahwa kamu bisa terlambat pergi ke kantor.

Ketika bis kelima datang, kamu sudah tak sabar, kamu langsung melompat masuk ke dalamnya. Setelah beberapa lama, kamu akhirnya sadar kalau kamu salah menaiki bis. Bis tersebut jurusannya bukan yang kamu tuju! Dan kau baru sadar telah menyiakan waktumu sekian lama.

Moral dari cerita ini, sering kali seseorang menunggu orang yang benar-benar 'ideal' untuk menjadi pasangan hidupnya.

Padahal tidak ada orang yang 100% memenuhi keidealan kita. Dan kamu pun sekali-kali tidak akan pernah bisa menjadi 100% sesuai keinginan dia.

Tidak ada salahnya memiliki persyaratan untuk 'calon', tapi tidak ada salahnya juga memberi kesempatan kepada yang berhenti di depan kita.

Tentunya dengan jurusan yang sama seperti yang kita tuju. Apabila ternyata memang tidak cocok, apa boleh buat.. tapi kamu masih bisa berteriak 'Kiri !' dan keluar dengan sopan.

Maka memberi kesempatan pada yang berhenti di depanmu, semuanya bergantung pada keputusanmu. Daripada kita harus jalan kaki sendiri menuju kantormu, dalam arti menjalani hidup ini tanpa kehadiran orang yang dikasihi.

Cerita ini juga berarti, kalau kamu benar-benar menemukan bis yang kosong, kamu sukai dan bisa kamu percayai, dan tentunya sejurusan dengan tujuanmu, kamu dapat berusaha sebisamu untuk menghentikan bis tersebut di depanmu.

Untuk dia memberi kesempatan kamu masuk ke dalamnya. Karena menemukan yang seperti itu adalah suatu berkah yang sangat berharga dan sangat berarti. Bagimu sendiri, dan bagi dia. Bis seperti apa yang kamu tunggu?

2004-11-25T21:35:00.004+07:00

Far Eastern Economic Review/September 16, 1999

By John McBeth
To understand why Indonesia's military is so angry at the prospect of losing East Timor, listen to Lt.-Gen. Luhut Panjaitan. Now Indonesia's ambassador to Singapore,

he was a young special-forces lieutenant when he parachuted into Baucau, a town on the territory's northern coast, in December 1975. It was the second day of Indonesia's invasion of the former Portuguese colony, and Luhut vividly remembers the flashes of gunfire as he drifted down through the early dawn. Scores of Army Strategic Reserve paratroopers, he recalls, broke their legs landing on the hard coral foreshore.

He had been assigned to lead his 38-man assault team on the first wave into Dili, the East Timor capital. But the plan had gone awry: The C-130 transport plane they were aboard was shot up over the drop zone and forced to take evasive action. Ten soldiers spilled into the sea and drowned under the weight of their 30-kilogram packs. Later, during the fighting in and around Dili, marines landing on the beach mistakenly killed several Indonesian-army soldiers because the two units were using different radio frequencies. Then, by dropping plans to cut off escape routes to the south, the Indonesians allowed many separatists to flee and join a prolonged resistance struggle against the invasion forces.

Little wonder Luhut remembers the invasion as much for its mistakes as its ultimate success. But those mistakes pale into insignificance compared with the military's brutal 24-year record in East Timor, and a history of corruption that critics say siphoned off most of the economic benefits the territory might have gained from being part of Indonesia. Taken together, these missteps led the alienated East Timorese to vote for independence.

Like many officers whose careers were shaped by years of service in East Timor, Luhut found the outcome of the vote difficult to accept. "It's very hard for us emotionally," he says. "We fought for something that we thought was good for our country. Why did we go through all that suffering? It now seems it was all for nothing."

When Luhut first entered Dili, he found only a few kilometres of asphalt road. He says he was shocked at the poverty, and at the sharp difference between the people in the towns and those living a hardscrabble existence in the countryside. In the years that followed, the Indonesian government poured hundreds of millions of dollars into East Timor, more per head than any other province.

But a lot of the funds also poured out, into the pockets of corrupt military and civilian officials. East Timorese economist Joao Saldanha, an adviser to independence leader Xanana Gusmao and a prospective economics minister for East Timor, reckons as much as 30% of the $50 million annual development budget provided by Jakarta was stolen. More still flowed to politically connected contractors from outside East Timor, and another $60 million went to pay an overstaffed bureaucracy, over half of which wasn't East Timorese.

Luhut won't discuss it, but there's a widespread feeling -- even within the armed forces -- that under President Suharto, Indonesian policy leaned more toward protecting government authority than to protecting the people's welfare. Despite improving education, Jakarta fuelled resentment by failing to provide jobs for school-leavers and graduates. That resentment came to the fore on August 30.

Special Warfare, Spring, 2000

Indian special-ops force proposed for Kashmir duty

A former director-general of India's Indo-Tibetan Border Police has proposed the creation of a special-operations force to deter cross-border terrorism in hostile, remote and culturally sensitive areas. The former director-general reviewed the advantages he had seen in special forces around the world, especially "in low-intensity conflicts because [they are] a relatively low-cost and more effective option, compared with fielding large conventional forces." He indicated that despite the fielding of various specialized military and police units, India has "never seriously considered creating an elite counterinsurgency (force)." He believes that a special-operations force (along with combined, strong border-fencing programs) could help India deal with its terrorism, trafficking in drugs and arms, smuggling and other transnational issues. In addition, India would be better able to meet its security needs, especially in Kashmir. During the first four months of 2000, 65 foreign militants were among 227 militants ki lled in antimilitancy operations in the Kashmir valley. From India's perspective, these statistics indicate that the problem is not only a local one.

Montenegro reportedly trains police snipers

Western reporting indicates that a Montenegrin "secret program" is training an "elite team" of police snipers to target senior Yugoslav military officers in the event of a war between Montenegro and Serbia. These police snipers, along with other members of the 20,000-strong police force, could form part of an eventual Montenegrin army. Increased tension between Serbia and Montenegro established the setting for the local Montenegrin elections held in June, during which backers of Montenegro President Djukanovic's party and pro-Milosevic opposition supporters confronted each other.

North Korean officers train Congolese special forces

A special forces unit that is being formed in the Democratic Republic of Congo may be receiving training from North Korean officers. The new unit, the 10th Special Infantry Brigade, consists of several thousand troops and supposedly has a combined-arms composition -- including reconnaissance, infantry, and artillery elements. The unit's primary purpose will be to fight rebel forces that have been active for the last two years in a conflict that now involves several neighboring states. A television program featuring the graduation of 10th-brigade soldiers showed a number of North Korean officers in attendance.

Papua New Guinea proposes to merge defense force, constabulary

The prospect of establishing a unified military and police force in Papua New Guinea, or PNG, has been advanced by a PNG cabinet committee. Under the proposal that was being considered in early May 2000, a paramilitary force would be established by combining the troubled PNG Defense Force (which is widely viewed as corrupt and inefficient) and the Royal PNG Constabulary. Tensions between the two organizations have been evident for some time, and a merger could provoke a strong reaction or revolt from the Defense Force. In the view of some Western observers, this move could also have serious implications for the situation along the PNG-Indonesian border, where Indonesian Army Special Forces, or Kopassus, have reportedly organized militias inside PNG and have attempted to create internal problems centered on independence aspirations in West Papua. An even more weakened Defense Force would further reduce PNG's capabilities to respond to trouble in West Papua and elsewhere. Kopassus is facing its own challenges. Earlier this year, Indonesian President Abdurrahman Wahid visited the headquarters of both Kopassus and the Air Force Special Forces, or Paskhas. In late April, he inspected elements of the Strategic Reserves Command, or Kostrad, and visited Army special-operations components in West Java. At the same time, some foreigners were demanding that Kopassus be disbanded. Although the Kopassus commander asserted that no such plan had been decided, Indonesia is conducting a study to determine whether some military roles should be reduced.

Romanian airborne, special-ops units resubordinated

In May 2000, Romania announced force-restructuring plans that would transfer parachute units and associated special-operations units from the air force to the ground forces by September 2000. Romanian military officials noted that the units designated for transfer are primarily land forces and that once the transfer occurs, the air force will be responsible only for transporting the units to their areas of employment.

Mexican police unit focuses on paramilitary forces

Faced with continuing violence by paramilitary groups in some Mexican states, Mexico's Attorney General's Office has formed a new unit designated the "Special Unit for Dealing With Crimes Committed by Suspected Armed Civil Groups." The new unit focuses on paramilitary groups, not on insurgent groups like the Zapatista National Liberation Army, the People's Revolutionary Army and the People's Revolutionary Insurgent Army. Many of the paramilitary groups are suspected of having affiliations with political, police and military components, and they have been responsible for murders and intimidation in Mexican states, including Chiapas and Guerrero. The new unit has investigatory powers and consists of 40 judicial agents, six agents from the Public Prosecutor's Office, and other key personnel needed to support the unit's agenda.

Colombian paramilitaries may be gaining strength

By some estimates, the number of Colombian paramilitary combatants engaged against guerrilla forces has doubled to 7,000 in recent years. The paramilitary combatants operate as part of declared umbrella organizations, such as the Peasant Self-Defense Units of Cordoba y Uraba and the Self-Defense Units of Colombia. In the spring of 2000, the Colombian military reported an increase in the kidnaping and extortion activities of the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC. In the view of some specialists, FARC is now changing its tactics, reportedly moving its kidnaping activities away from its traditional rural areas into urban areas like Bogota. The change in tactics could be driven by a need for greater financial resources, since kidnaping and extortion are the FARC's chief sources of income. It could also mean that the FARC would rather take on the Colombian police authorities than the paramilitary forces, with their strong ties to the military. In recent months, the paramilitary forces have boldly carried their military objective beyond the Colombian international borders into neighboring countries. In September 1999, a prominent paramilitary chief warned that his organization would attack any Panamanian or Venezuelan military unit found to be assisting Colombian guerrillas.

Belgium combines pathfinder, recon units

Two Belgian army special-operations units, the Pathfinder Detachment and the Long Range Reconnaissance Detachment, have been combined into an 80-man special forces company. The newly created company is a subdivision of the 3rd Lansiers Paratrooper Battalion, which is the reconnaissance battalion of the army's paratrooper brigade. According to press reports, elements of the Pathfinder Detachment typically operate in teams of six to prepare drop zones and landing areas for follow-on forces. Elements of the Long Range Reconnaissance Detachment typically operate in teams of four to gather intelligence in enemy rear areas. Although the new special forces company is subordinate to the 3rd Lansiers, it will continue to perform special duties and will not be subsumed by the paratrooper brigade.

# SPLINTER CELL PANDORA TOMORROW, LIHAT NIH TOKOHNYA

SUHADI SADONO
Indonesian Guerrilla Leader of the DARAH DAN DOA

Suhadi has been fighting for Indonesian sovereignty since he was 15 years old. He worked his way quickly through the ranks, and by his 21st birthday he was the leader of the Darah Dan Doa (Blood and Prayer), at that time a gang of a few dozen. By the mid-90s, funded (covertly) by the Kopassus (Indonesian Special Forces) and operation REDBEARD, the Darah Dan Doa had grown into a militia of thousands. Despite the withdrawal of U.S. and CIA support in 1999, the DDD continues to thrive.

CERITANYA

2006: The U.S. installs a temporary military base on East Timor to train the developing defense force of the "world's youngest democracy." Resistance to the U.S. military presence in Southeast Asia is widespread and passionate, but the threat Indonesian militias pose to Timorese democracy is deemed sufficient justification. Anti-U.S. resentment comes to a head under the leadership of guerrilla militia leader Suhadi Sadono, acting with the unofficial support of major corrupt factions of the Indonesian government. Suhadi's men attack and occupy the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, taking dozens of civilian and military personnel hostage.

Sam Fisher must defend and assist the U.S. military, both locally and from remote locations, until Suhadi's terror-driven policies can be subverted and the guerrilla faction eradicated.

OZ SENIOR OFFICIAL RECRUITED BY BAIS AS AN AGENT

2004-11-25T21:35:00.000+07:00

Indonesia's military intelligence services known as BAIS stand for strategic Intelligence Agency. an indonesian version of US DIA and Soviet GRU is known as active as ever. they sent their operatives through out the world (mostly from kopassus group IV/covert warfare unit, marines denjaka, navy kopaska, AF paskhas) and other branch. their role is to collect military-related information and recruiting foreigners as assets. in 1999 Australian Intelligence became suspicious that one of oz senior official has been recruited by BAIS.

the article below excerpted from intelligence bulletin 1999

AUSTRALIA. Australian intelligence is investigating information that a senior Canberra official is working as an Indonesian agent. According to the highly sensitive information, the official has been recruited by an Indonesian intelligence agency called Badan Intelijen Strategis (BAIS) and is run directly by the office of the BAIS Director, Lieutenant General Tyasno Sudarto, who took over from Major General Zacky Anwar Makarim earlier this year. A separate budget has been allocated for running the agent who is apparently regarded as one of the most important foreigners recruited by BAIS and works near the top of a specified Canberra policy-making department. So far, investigators have not been able to identify the agent from a relatively narrow list of possibilities. Apart from BAIS, one of the intelligence organizations Zacky Anwar used in East Timor was the Satuan Tugas Intelijen (SGI), a branch of the Kopassus special forces. Anwar was a Kopassus officer before moving to BAIS.
========

the kopassus men from SGI stand for satuan gabungan intelijen/joint intelligence unit and marine denjaka+navy kopaska conducted recon vs recon missions during 'prior visit' by australian SASR and CDT who scouted the timor area months before real UN troops allowed to land by indonesian government. they call it 'scouting the scouter' ops.

in 1974 BAIS and its civilian intelligence counterpart known as BAKIN (then BIN) conducted some covert operations to steal Timor-related info before 1975 invasion. the article below taken from Ken Conboy's latest book intel: inside indonesian intelligence sevices

One operation against Portuguese army Maj. Antonio Joao Soares just before the
invasion of Timor in 1974

Accurately guessing that Soares was carrying classified documents
related to Timor, his Indonesian hosts tried to separate him from his baggage,
first by spiking his drinking water to prompt him to seek medical attention for
stomach cramps. Instead he kept himself locked in his hotel room. Later, they
created an immigration problem that prevented him from boarding his connecting
flight to Dili. The documents in fact revealed Portugal's intention to "cut and
run" from Timor, and speeded Jakarta's planned intervention.

Stalin was assassinated by KGB, reveals book

2004-11-21T21:09:00.000+07:00

UNITED NEWS OF INDIA

MOSCOW, AUG 17: Ajust -released book in Russian retraces the last days of Josef Stalin and makes the startling revelation that the awesome Soviet dictator was ``put to death'' by the KGB (the Soviet secret police) and did not die of brain haemorrhage, as was given to believe in medical reports.

The book, Stalin, written by historian Edud Radzensky, tries to uncover the mystery surrounding the death of the Communist Party supremo these past 45-odd years.

Excerpts from the book were carried by the popular journal Sutnik. Scholars and historians have hailed it as ``authentic''.

After reportedly digging deep, Radzensky came across classified material, managed to get a series of interviews with Stalin's only surviving security aide and pieced together what really happened on those five fateful nights beginning February 28, 1953, when Stalin was last seen alive by his security guards. Stalin's death was officially announced only on March 5.

The author narrates that when the guards discovered the former Soviet president in a state of unconsciousness, unable to speak and having wet his pants, they panicked. However, KGB chief Lavrenti Beria reassured them, saying, ``Master is having a sound sleep. Don't get scared and don't bother us.''

The security guard, Pavel Lozgachev, in his interviews told the author that Beria's hatchet-man Ivan Khrustal, then chief of security, had told them on the night of February 28 that ``Master does not want anybody to disturb him and has asked everyone to retire for the night.''

Stalin had dined, had ``very light wine'' with some guests including his successor, Nikita Khrushchev, Georgi Malenkov, Marshal Bulganin and Beria, at his forest villa. Around midnight, he saw them off and retired to bed, Lozgachev said.

Lozgachev, who is spending the twilight of his life in obscurity, gave subtle hints to the historian that a plan had already been laid out to ``eliminate the master''. He accused Beria and Khrustal of direct complicity in the crime. During the funeral, Beria is quoted as having cryptically muttered, ``The light of science,'' and burst into loud, maniacal laughter.

The guard said Stalin was in the habit of going to bed past midnight only to wake up between ten and eleven the next morning. It was well beyond noon and the master had not summoned any attendant but no one dared to disturb him.

It was only around 10 pm on March 1 that Lozgachev was able to muster the courage to enter Stalin's personal chamber as a packet from the CentralCommittee had to be urgently delivered.

SEPOTONG HATI YANG TERTINGGAL TAKEN FROM INDOCAMPUS.COM

2004-11-19T20:55:00.002+07:00

Untuk sepotong hati yang tertinggal di Jakarta, tulisan Resty

Gue waktu itu baca artikel dari Mr Ry, karna ngak tau mau ngapain karena ujan
terus disini jadi yah baca artikel indocampus deh..dan kebetulan pas baca
artikel Mr Ry, ada yang mao gue sampaikan ke semua manusia (heheeh)

kala binatang malam mulai terlena dalam tidurnya,

kembali aku terpekur dalam kesendirian

menyisakan sebongkah kegetiran di sana,

yang setia menemani dalam setiap malamku,

yang selalu hadir dalam tiap perenunganku,

tentang kamu,

tentang aku,

tentang kita,

(masih adakah waktu berjalan ke belakang, dimana kita akan tetap menjadi "kita",

dan bukan kembali menjadi "aku" dan "kamu"?)

kukenangkan pertemuan2x kita,

pada senja hujan temaram,

dalam dingin malam mencekam,

sebagaimana kamu tahu,

aku mencintai malam lebih dari apapun

seperti malam telah mengirimkanmu padaku

juga malam telah menarikku sembunyi dari warnaku

pula dalam selimut malam aku mengagungkan dirimu

aku ingin bebas bersama angin mengembara

jauh terbang menjemput dirimu, bersama menuju tanah impian

tanpa peduli jurang lebar menganga

pada tanah letih kaki berpijak

(tidak kah semua itu tak lebih dari sebuah impian?

ada kah impian membuat hidup jadi tampak lebih indah dan punya harapan?

atau kah impian hanya akan memberikan kekecewaan,

karna tak selalu jadi kenyataan?

mengapa segalanya tidak bergerak mengalir begitu saja?

mengapa harus ada batu kerikil tajam?

karna apa kah salah orang saling mencinta?)

masih kuterpaku dalam ketermanguan

memandang ambang malam yang kelam

mencoba mencari makna

antara gerimis dan kabut

antara kerinduan dan harapan yang ngelangut

bersama kesadaranku tentang dirimu

kamu yang jauh terasa semakin "jauh"

aku akan melangkah walaupun dengan tertatih

mencoba tuk melupakan perih

saat kamu berkata lirih,

“aku telah letih,

pada cintaku yang memutih”

tulisan ini kutujukan untuk seseorang yang sedang menikmati kesendirian

kukirimkan segores sunyi

semoga ia menjadi nyanyi dalam hati

sebelum datang pagi

sebelum pecah mimpi

kusertakan bersama perenungan terakhir,

tentang kamu,

juga aku......

Kau 5....8....10 tahun lagi adalah tetap engkau yang sekarang, kecuali orang-orang yang kau temui dan buku-buku yang kau baca

kata mister supiyo di swa mag pas cerita nostal dia
mau berangkat ke kupang buat ngajar taon 60-an. tak banyak orang mengenalmu itu
biasa tapi yg harus kau lakukan adalah bagaimana supaya banyak orang
mengenalmu meski kau bukan orang terkenal.....quite cool quote haa.....
tapi kayaknya orang londo ada juga yang quotenya kayak ginihhh....

ngomong-ngomong soal lebaran jadi ingat lebaran taon 98 nih....gue masih sma......waktu itu gue kirim card ke gebetan gue....sadly kita gak jadian, guess what? dia jadian sama temen akrab gue......hurts....iya tapi gue nyadarin kalo cinta itu gak bisa milih untuk tumbuh dimana dan gak bisa dipaksa.....tau gak! beberapa bulan kemudian gue malah jadian sama mantannya temen gue ituh gak lama memang mungkin 5...6...bulanan.....en kemudian.....malah temen gue yang udah putus sama ce barunya dia balik lagi ama ex gue yang notabene ex dia juga.....hmmmmm muter-muter yak....seperti kata om pujangga

Ehhhhh...isi cardnya kan belon gue bilang ya.... ini nih kira-kira soalnya udah lama jadi agak lupa .... malu juga nih...kalo di baca ulang....

Seiring tembang fitri merdu mengalun
dalam getar bias ramadhan

selama ini aku pernah menanam dosa ke kamu
dihari yang fitri ini
aku ingin kita saling menghapus
segala kealpaan yang pernah terjadi antara kita

...Dan mungkin bila nanti

Kita kan bertemu lagi

Satu pintaku jangan

Kau coba tanyakan kembali

Rasa yg........MUNGKIN NANTI-PETERPAN

mendengar si ariel nyanyiin bait diatas bikin ingatan gue melayang....tiba²
masa lalu menyergap gue dari belakang pada sebuah kenangan tentang ex
gue....si e, dia yang paling lama dalam sejarah gue jalan sama
cewek dan yg paling....ninggalin jejak, kalo memodif kata²
eleanor roosevelt...."only true friends will leave footprints in your
hearts"....4 taon.....dan ternyata itu nggak cukup buat kita saling
mengenal lebih dalam......memang dalam hubungan kita karena "udah
terlalu lama" kadang timbul "sedikit kebosanan", mungkin kalo minjam
sedikit kata temen gue "elo gak akan menganggap sesuatu itu
berharga kalo elo anggap sesuatu itu memang seharusnya elo punya, elo
gak bakal nyadarin apa yang elo punya sampai dia hilang contohnya
kesehatan..".

pernah gak elo nyadarin bahwa jaga kesehatan itu penting? pasti
itu akan lebih terasa kalo elo sedang sakit.

gue akuin gue pernah cheat sekali tapi gak lama...kita baikkan lagi....guess
what........setaon kemudian dia cheat juga......baru gue ngerasa kayak
gini to rasanya....

sedikit ngutip dari cerpen lama yang gue
tulis jauh sebelum gue kenal si e, judulnya lilin buat tary

seringkali kita baru menyadari arti kehadiran seseorang justru pada saat dia
tidak berada disisi kita lagi.....pada saat dia telah pergi
ah.....bukankah
memang selamanya kasih itu tak menyadari kedalamannya sendiri....hingga tiba
saat berpisah

gue bener² kayak ngerasa de javu....cerita yang gue tulis terjadi
beneran.

life must go on......gak akan nunggu² . setelah dia
pergi gue baru lebih ngerasa kalo dia memang punya arti , ternyata gue belon
bisa lupain dia ....dia juga (mungkin) gak nemuin yang dia cari dari co barunya.....kita
baikan lagi dan coba start dari awal lagi....skor 1-1 tapi gue percaya ini
bukanlah sebuah pertandingan.
1^1/2 tahun berlalu dia cheat lagi....khilaf
apa keenakan tuh....kali ini bener² gak ada cerita sambungaan lagi.....nampaknya
jalan kita udah beda.....

butuh waktu......tapi gue percaya time will heal...gak ada yang lebih
mujarab dari waktu.

.......I won't ask you why

Maybe I have been too good, too good to you

Love comes tumbling down

It hurts so little more each time

How could you leave me behind.....SUNSHINE AFTER THE RAIN-VANDAVANDA

gue mencoba untuk nggak lagi ngeliat kebelakang......gue sering anggap
masa lalu gue sebagai 'sebuah potongan waktu di pusaran pelangi' kenapa.....karena
penuh warna, beda banget dengan sekarang . MONOTON. biar gimana pun itu tetap
sebuah masa lalu sebuah episode usang......dulu....dulu sekali. ada yang pernah
bilang "jangan mengingat masa lalu kecuali jika anda ingin kembali kesana"
atau "tak ada kemarin atau esok hidup anda adalah hari ini"

dulu pernah nonton film gue lupa judulnya si pelakonnya bilang

the
hardest part in life: not to looking back

time changes....things are different...the matter is i dont
want it to be

di kolom siapa yaaa....dimajalah swa kayaknya? dia nulis gini
"mengingat masa lalu hanya akan menghasilkan beban. jika masa lalu
itu menyedihan akan menimbulkan penyesalan berkepanjangan. sebaliknya jika masa
lalu itu indah, kerinduan akan masa lalu itu akan menjadi beban seolah-olah kita
harus hidup seperti masa lalu. "

ELANG

2004-11-19T20:55:00.000+07:00

DARI BUKU UNSTOPABLE SUCCES......
Jika anda ingin sukses anda harus berani terbang seperti elang.....terbang sendirian dan terbang lebih tinggi dari burung lainnya

ada kolom bagus tulisan pak arvan pradiansyah di republika ......

seorang petani menemukan telur elang dan menempatkannya bersama telur ayam yang sedang dierami induknya. setelah menetas, elang itu berperilaku persis anak ayam karena mengira dirinya memang ayam.
Pada suatu hari, ia melihat seekor elang yang dengan gagah mengarungi angkasa.
"wow....luar biasa, siapakah itu?" katanya penuh kagum.
"itulah elang, raja segala burung" sahut ayam di sekitarnya.
"kalau saja kita bisa terbang ya?luar biasa"
"ah.....jangan mimpi, dia itu makhluk angkasa sedang kita hanya makhluk bumi. kita hanya ayam".
demikianlah......elang itu makan, minum, dan menjalani hidup seperti ayam dan akhirnya mati sebagai seekor ayam

Hmmmmmm...........moral dari cerita ini mnurut gue....kita terkadang gak nyadarin potensi kita, dan bahwa hanya kita sendirilah sang empunya hidup.
hidup kita.....milik kita , kita yang nentuin seperti apa kita bukan orang lain."

MELEPASKAN SESUATU MENDAPATKAN SESUATU

2004-11-18T22:21:00.000+07:00

Ada sebuah perusahaan yang sedang mencari karyawan. Dalam tes tertulisnya, mereka hanya memberikan satu kasus untuk dijawab:
Anda sedang mengendarai motor ditengah malam gelap gulita dan hujan lebat di sebuah daerah yang penduduknya sedang diungsikan semuanya karena bencana banjir. Pemerintah setempat hanya bisa memberikan bantuan 1 buah bis yang saat ini juga sedang mengangkut orang-orang ke kota terdekat. Saat itu juga Anda melewati sebuah perhentian Bis satu-satunya didaerah itu. Di perhentian Bis itu Anda melihat 3 orang yang merupakan orang terakhir di daerah itu yang sedang menunggu kedatangan Bis : 1) Seorang nenek tua yang sekarat 2) Seorang dokter yang pernah menyelamatkan hidup Anda sebelumnya 3) Seseorang yang selama ini menjadi idaman hati Anda dan akhirnya Anda temukan. Anda hanya bisa mengajak satu orang untuk membonceng Anda, siapakah yang akan Anda ajak ? Dan jelaskan jawaban Anda mengapa Anda melakukan itu.

Sebelum Anda menjawab, ada beberapa hal yang perlu Anda pertimbangkan: Seharusnya Anda menolong nenek tua itu dulu karena dia sudah sekarat.Jika tidak segera ditolong akan meninggal. Namun, kalau dipikir-pikir, orang yang sudah tua memang sudah mendekati ajalnya. Sedangkan yang lainnya masih sangat muda dan harapan hidup kedepannya masih panjang. Dokter itu pernah menyelamatkan hidup Anda. Inilah saat yang tepat untuk membalas budi kepadanya. Tapi kalo dipikir, kalo sekedar membalas budi bisa lain waktu khan. Namun, kita tidak akan pernah tau kapan kita mendapatkan kesempatan itu lagi. Mendapatkan idaman hati adalah hal yang sangat langka. Jika kali ini Anda lewatkan, mungkin Anda tidak akan pernah ketemu dia lagi. Dan impian Anda akan kandas selamanya. Jadi yang mana yang Anda pilih ? Jawab dulu sesuai naluri, nalar dan kata hati anda dulu. Baru buka contekannya dibawah ini. Kayaknya banyak yang akan salah menjawab nih...hehehe.

Untuk direnungkan saja (ndak usah serius-serius amat): Dari sekitar 2000-an orang pelamar hanya 1 orang yang diterima bekerja di perusahaan itu. Orang tersebut tidak menjelaskan jawabannya, hanya menulis dengan singkat : "Saya akan memberikan kunci motor saya kepada sang dokter dan meminta dia untuk membawa nenek tua yang sedang sekarat tersebut untuk ditolong segera. Sedangkan saya sendiri akan tetap tinggal disana dengan sang idaman hati saya untuk menunggu Bis kembali menolong kami." Maka sang HRD yg mulai kecewa dengan hasil seleksinya (sebab banyak yang gagal dan penjelasannya tidak memuaskan, egois, tidak perduli sesama dan sebagainya) akhirnya lega sekali. Tugasnya selesai...sudah ditemukannya sang calon karyawan tersebut. Dan diterimanyalah calon karyawan tersebut dan langsung mendapat "kualifikasi smart & brilliant employee, prospectfull career". Anda tau nasib sang karyawan tadi?....Sekarang dia sudah menjadi seorang Menteri.

Message yang ingin disampaikan disini adalah : Terkadang...dengan rela untuk melepaskan sesuatu yang kita miliki, mengakui segala keterbatasan yang kita miliki dan melepaskan semua keinginan kita untuk sesuatu yang lebih mulia, kita akan mendapatkan sesuatu yang jauh lebih besar......dan lebih hmmm.

Design of a Ground-Launched Ballistic Missile Interceptor Using a Genetic Algorithm
Authors: John E. Burkhalter; Murray B. Anderson; Rhonald M. Jenkins; SVERDRUP TECHNOLOGY INC HUNTSVILLE AL
Abstract: For this preliminary design study an apportioned pareto genetic algorithm, unique to the software package IMPROVE(Copyright), was used to manipulate a solid rocket design code, an aerodynamic design code, and a three- loop autopilot to produce interceptor designs capable of accurately engaging a high-speed/high-altitude target. Twenty-nine design variables were required to define the optimization problem, and four primary goals were established to access the performance of the interceptor designs. Design goals included: (1) minimize miss distance, (2) minimize intercept time, (3) minimize takeoff weight, and (4) minimize maximum U-loading. In 50 generations the genetic algorithm was able to develop two basic types of external aerodynamic designs that performed nearly the same, with miss distances less than 1.0 foot. The solid rocket motors that propelled these external shapes shared common characteristics such as a large initial burning area and a large combustion chamber volume. Examination of the intercept trajectories shows that standard proportional navigation guidance works adequately. The three-loop autopilot performs well even for high altitude engagements, and the analytic gain determination makes the autopilot straightforward to implement.

Reconfigurable and Adaptable Micro-Robots
Authors: S. Mahadevan; R. L. Tummala; R. Mukherjee; N. Xi; D. Aslam; MICHIGAN STATE UNIV EAST LANSING
Abstract: This report documents the mechanical structure, kinematic models and control implementation of two micro-robots, called Flipper and Crawler, that can traverse both on walls and floors. They are battery powered and use specially designed feet using suction cups. The design of these feet is described in Section 2. The mechanical design was arrived at through extensive analysis. It has a biped structure with revolute and prismatic hip joints. The underactuated mechanical structure was chosen to reduce weight and power consumption by decreasing the number of actuators. Micro-controllers from Motorola, Inc. and Texas Instruments, Inc. were used as embedded controllers with the ability to implement motion planning and trajectory generation algorithms to control these robots. The details are given in Sections 3 and 4. The report concludes with the summary and suggested improvements.

Bistatic Radar System Analysis and Software Development
Authors: Ching L. Teo; NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA
Abstract: Bistatic radar has some properties that are distinctly different from monostatic radar. Recently bistatic radar has received attention for its potential to detect stealth targets due to enhanced target forward scatter. Furthermore, the feasibility of hitchhiker radar has been demonstrated, which allows passive radar receivers to detect and track targets. This thesis developed a software simulation package in Matlab that provides a convenient tool to examine the bistatic radar design parameters and predict system performance. The software model is suitable for instructional purposes due to its user-friendly graphical user interface. Several bistatic radar applications were used to illustrate the software features, and their results were analyzed and discussed.

A Peek at PhOS: BeOS-Dan0's Unapproved Brother

2004-10-06T16:32:00.000+07:00

Introduction

Of course that's not the whole story. BeOS may be old, but it is not that much older than, say, Windows 2000. BeOS' major problem is of course the lack of commercial support. Palm Inc has no interest in bringing BeOS back to the desktop and Be Inc itself has gone down (as far as I know).
So, now we are dependent on BeOS Max (and some others as well) and Yellowtab's Zeta (leaving OpenBeOS out of this list on purpose; they are far from even beta stage). Well, that is not entirely true. There is another "player" on the BeOS team: PhosphurOS (PhOS). Simply put, PhOS is Zeta's illegal counterpart. There is one notable difference though: Zeta is a (Be Inc approved-supposedly) distribution of "a" BeOS R6 Dan0 codebase, whereas PhOS is based on the 2002-leaked BeOS R6 "Dan0" release. As far as I know, PhOS is therefore, illegal.
I am not going deeper into the legality questions here, it is not my area of expertise. Feel free to correct me though. And, I am not interested in the "Yellowtab-does(n't)-have-access-to-the-source-code" thing either (Nicholas explained the situation well recently), the purpose of this article is to simply introduce PhOS, to give you an idea of what it is.
Version/System
I am using PhosphurOS Beta 5, based on the BeOS kernel v5.2, with a kernel build-time of November 15th, 2001 (to be exact: 13:06:19).
Test system:- AMD Athlon XP 1600+;- 512 MB SDRAM;- Ati Radeon 9000 with 128 MB DDR-RAM;- CMI-8738 based 5.1 soundcard;- MSI K7T Turbo2 mainboard;- 40 GB harddisk (25.9 GB NTFS (Windows Server 2003); 7.3 GB BeFS (PhOS); 4.1 GB FAT32 (No OS))- Standard ps/2 keyboard- Microsoft Trackball Optical (USB)
Installation
Acquiring the PhOS .iso is not as easy as it seems; your best bet is to go the PhOS forum (http://beoseh.neo-programmers.com/forum/) and browse through the posts; you'll find the appropriate .iso and the boot.img that fits your needs. Using a .cue you will be able to burn them onto a bootable CD-ROM.
PhOS' install does not differ that much from, let's say, BeOS Max', they both use the well-known BeOS installer (in my experience, the easiest installer ever made). Only instead of "BeOS", it now says "PhOS", and the look of the tab is different (it is shiny now). Installation is straightforward; select partition, and start the install. That is all. One important note though: use the DriveSetup tool if you haven't initialized your destination partition yet; PhOS will install over your old BeOS install without warning. Even though your system will still boot, you will encounter a number of hangs and crashes.
The install went, as you would expect from the BeOS installer, almost perfect. Exactly, almost perfect. There were a few messages (about three) about files being corrupted, but I told the installer to ignore the problem. Nothing seemed to be broken upon reboot. I already knew not to worry, the problem was addressed in the forum.
Almost all of my hardware was supported out-of-the-box (although a box was hard to find). Only my CMI-8738 did not work; this was easily repaired though, the correct drivers are available on BeBits.com.
First Impressions
Immediately upon reboot you will be surprised: you can select a username! Yes, PhOS is multi-user. Every user has their own desktop, and their own resolution. Menus are not personalized, though.
What I really like about PhOS (and Zeta has this functionality as well) are its themeing capabilities. Besides the four "standard" BeOS window decors, eight others are included. Custom decors can be made as well. Nice work.
The desktop itself is not all that different from the other BeOS distributions available; just the well-known Deskbar (for the people unfamiliar with BeOS: Deskbar is the equivelant of Windows' start menu and task-bar), and familiar icons (trash, home and mounted volumes).

Daily Use
What immediately came to my attention was the poor choice of additional software; I missed a lot of my (read carefully: my) default BeOS applications: BePDF, CL-Amp, Seeker, BeMSN and, most notably, Beam. Of course installing applications in BeOS is as easy as 1-2-3, but that is not the point; these applications should be installed by default. Every modern OS needs PDF-support (however, Windows and PDF...?).
I find Seeker quite important as well (Windows Explorer-clone). Tracker is nice, but for advanced file-management, I simply prefer a file-tree. Beam is important as well, since I just cannot seem to get used to BeOS' standard way of organizing email (via the file system). It makes no sense to me, but that's probably just a matter of getting used to.
For browsing the internet NetPositive and MozillaFireFox (v 0.8) are included. NetPositive is over. The default BeOS browser is too old, too slow, and too simple. FireFox is, as we all know, a very capable browser. The only problem is that the build included in PhOS is too buggy; installing a more recent build will fix the problem. There is Flash-support, but not integrated into the browser; only a stand-alone Flash-player is installed. No IM clients are installed by default. I immediately installed BeMSN (can't live without it).
Since BeOS was called the "multimedia" OS, it is of course interesting to see how well PhOS performs on this area. Playing DVD's is a breeze; VLC (v 0.7) does the job quite well, but you'll have to do with only stereo; I could not get 5.1 support. Too bad.
SoundPlay is included in order to play music files. SoundPlay is quite a capable application by itself, but the version included in PhOS (4.8.1) crashes when trying to load a music file. Also setting a different skin will crash the program (yes, some people actually care about that). A more recent version is unavailable. Too bad, again. And that is also why I whined about CL-Amp not being included; CL-Amp is a simple music player, but, as far as I know, it always works.
I already knew attempting to retrieve images from my Canon PowerShot S50 digital camera would be useless; I still gave the included "Camera" a chance though. It failed, Canon cameras were not on the "supported" list. It would be futile to test other BeOS image retrievers; I already gave them a chance when I was still running BeOS Max v3. Too bad, once more.
The greatest problem on BeOS is of course the lack of a decent office-suite; Gobe Productive is a decent piece of software, but, after checking out there website, I came to the conclusion that they do not offer Gobe Productive v2 anymore (it is included in Zeta, though). So, we are kind of forced to use AbiWord. No, there is no alternative. You will have to.... Well, you will first have to install it; AbiWord is not included in PhOS. Weird. The available version is an old one though... Version 1.0, while the most recent stable release is 2.0.6. Anyone interested in maintaining AbiWord for BeOS? Or even better, anyone interested in porting OpenOffice to BeOS? Please...? Spreadsheet functionality is available as well for BeOS (Sum-It), but, Sum-It also isn't included in PhOS...
When it comes to stability and responsiveness, no one can beat BeOS/PhOS. The UI is so responsive, that it takes some getting used to when you come from a Windows or Linux world.
System Settings
Maintaining a BeOS system was easy. PhOS is no different; literally. A few changes here and there though; the most important one of course being BoneYard. Since PhOS uses BONE instead of net_server, the configuration tool is different as well. BoneYard is also easy to use, though.
Another addition to the "Preferences" menu is the "Control Panel". Here, you can add/remove users, and switch between Development-kits (PhosphurOS/BeOS R5). The CP is far from finished though; it says: "It would appear I am STILL not doing ANYTHING cool here :-/". More to come, I am sure of it.
Conclusion
PhOS is a very good "distribution" of BeOS. Even though I have been pretty negative about the whole system throughout the review, I would still say that I am more satisfied with PhOS than I was with BeOS Max (not to say that Max is a bad product though).
It takes some work to get a decent system up and running, you need to download a lot of applications, but it is worth it. The overall feel of PhOS is just more "up-to-date" than Max' feel.
But that is me talking; a BeOS fan. How about the average user? Well, to be honest, the average user cannot do much with PhOS (or any other "free" BeOS distribution, for that matter). With the lack of a decent Office Suite, BeOS is no viable option. I must say that I have not yet tried Zeta.
So, for whom is PhOS a good choice? Well, for anyone running an "older" version of BeOS, who does not want to buy Zeta (yet) and who is not offended by the legality issues.
To clarify, I decided to give grades on the different aspects of the OS:
- Install: 9/10 (without the glitches a 10/10 would have been possible)- Hardware Support: 5/10 (my hardware already presented problems, let alone more exotic stuff)- Ease Of Use: 8/10 (this is purely the use of the OS)- Speed: 10/10 (no clarification required)- Overall Polish: 9/10 (the UI is very consistent, and I just love tabs)- Functionality: 3/10 (PhOS is useless. Only people like me enjoy it, in a production environment, it is useless)

DAVID BOURCHIER looks at the new generation of military leaders, after a big shakeup between July and October 1997.

Indonesians found it hard to believe the headline in the afternoon papers: HARTONO REPLACES HARMOKO. Harmoko had sat in the cabinet as Information Minister for nearly fifteen years. As head of Golkar he had campaigned relentlessly and had just presided over the government's largest election victory ever.

The precipitous removal of Indonesia's second most prominent civilian politician came amidst growing signs that Suharto was also losing patience with Habibie, the country's best known civilian politician and presidential aspirant.

Suharto's new favourite is General Hartono, who until his 56th birthday in June this year was Indonesia's Army Chief. The strapping Madurese Muslim, popularly believed to be romantically involved with Suharto's daughter Tutut, was appointed to fill Harmoko's shoes as Information Minister. He is now also breathing down Habibie's neck at ICMI, the Indonesian Muslim Intellectuals Association Habibie has headed since 1990.

Whatever future Suharto, and his increasingly influential daughter, may have in mind for Hartono, his surprise elevation to the cabinet and his widely publicised joining of ICMI have led to speculation that Suharto has mended his bridges with Abri and may once again be committed to ensuring that his successor comes from the military.

This is certainly what the military wants to believe. Yuwono Sudarsono, a political scientist second in charge at the Defence Department's National Defence Institute (Lemhanas), claimed in September there were no civilians with the leadership qualities required to run the country.

Who, then, are the current generation of military leaders and how did they get there?

Privilege of proximity

The most obvious pattern in the large scale rotations between July and October is that Suharto has again given trusted former adjutants and bodyguards with the important jobs.

The new Army Chief is Gen Wiranto, who served as Suharto's adjutant from 1989 to 1993. His new deputy, Lt-Gen Subagyo Hadi Siswoyo, served in the presidential security squad in the mid 1970s, and from 1988 to 1993 commanded Suharto's personal guard.

Wary of a coup, Suharto has also attempted to ensure that the key troop commands (the ones with the guns) are in safe hands.

His latest choice to head Kostrad, the 27,000 strong Army Strategic Command which Suharto used to seize control of Jakarta in 1965, is Lt-Gen Sugiono. The US-trained Sugiono was presidential adjutant from 1991 to 1995 and commanded Suharto's personal guard between 1995 and 1997.

Indonesia's most highly trained killers, the Kopassus 'red berets', remain under the command of Suharto's 46 year old son-in-law Maj-Gen Prabowo Subianto. Married to the president's daughter Titiek since 1983, Prabowo has a strong stake in the survival of the Suharto dynasty.

Day to day control of the Jakarta streets, meanwhile, has been entrusted to the man who headed Suharto's personal guard between 1993 and 1995, Maj-Gen Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin.

'Red and White' comeback?

The army's new number one, Gen Wiranto, spent most of his career as a Kostrad officer. He took part in many anti-insurgency operations, including at least one stint in East Timor in 1981.

Wiranto's term as a presidential adjutant put him on the fast track. After leaving the president's service in 1993 he climbed quickly from Chief of Staff of the Jakarta military region to Jakarta Military Commander and then to Kostrad Commander.

These positions - all in the capital - saw Wiranto extend his network to the Jakarta underworld. In 1995 he organised a rally of 15,000 'Cadre Upholders of Discipline', consisting largely of members of youth and strongarm organisations. Issuing them with ID cards, he unleashed them on Jakarta to create 'order' in public places.

His recent instruction to duplicate his example in towns and villages throughout the archipelago prompted fears that East Timor style state-sponsored thuggery is set to become a regular feature of Indonesian political life.

Politically, Wiranto is said to be aligned with the 'red and white' (nationalist, secular) military faction, which opposes the ambitions of ICMI under Habibie. His appointment might be read as an attempt by Suharto (and by Abri Commander Gen Feisal Tanjung) to wind back the influence of the ICMI camp.

Not long after Wiranto was appointed Army Chief, his protege Maj-Gen Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono took up the strategic position of Abri Assistant for Social and Political Staff. The 'Sospol' staff are the military's main political managers.

Bambang Yudhoyono is the star of his 1973 Military Academy class. He recently commanded a multinational United Nations Military Observer force in Bosnia. Like Wiranto, he is said to be suspicious of political Islam, and is busy building alliances with like-minded military officers as well as with civilian intellectuals ranging from Christians associated with the newspaper Suara Pembaruan to the Muslim thinker Amien Rais.

Abri's Sospol also has a new chief, the sixth in as many years. Replacing the high profile Lt-Gen Syarwan Hamid in this powerful post is Maj-Gen Yunus Yusfiah, a Timor veteran known in Australia for leading the Kopassus assault on Balibo in which five Australian journalists were killed in October 1975.

Although Yunus has been described as a 'fighting animal', he demonstrated a keen interest in politics while in charge of the Abri Staff College between 1995 and 1997. His controversial invitation of Megawati to speak at the college suggests that his vision of Indonesia's future, like that of Wiranto and Bambang Yudhoyono, is more 'red and white' than 'green' (Muslim).

Suharto's long delay in issuing Yunus' letter of appointment may indicate that he was the military's candidate, not Suharto's. The test will come in the months ahead when the 75 military appointees to parliament, who are answerable to Yunus, reveal their candidate for vice president.

New generation

Slightly lower down the ladder are the ten regional military commanders, now dominated by officers aged between 47 and 50 who graduated from the Military Academy in the early 1970s. Most if not all of the current crop have served in East Timor. Many took part in the Operation Seroja invasion and the anti-population measures of the late 1970s and early 1980s.

The hottest of the new generation of regional commanders is Maj-Gen Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin, the 45 year old from Sulawesi who took up the highly strategic position of Greater Jakarta Military Commander in late August 1997.

A glance at Sjafrie's background provides a lesson in how to get ahead in the Indonesian military in the 1990s.

First, Sjafrie spent six years as part of Suharto's personal escort. He was his top bodyguard from 1993 until 1995, accompanying him to at least sixteen countries.

Second, he has spent the best part of his career in Kopassus, whose battle hardened 'tough guys' occupy a large and increasing number of positions in the regional commands and at Abri HQ.

Third, Sjafrie is highly trained, having earned himself - like a handful of other high fliers - an American MBA. He has also taken at least five specialist military courses in the US, including one on Terrorism and Low Intensity Conflict which, according to Sjafrie, involved training by US Special Forces flown in from Peru on 'how to create terror'. Sjafrie topped his class.

A final plus for Sjafrie is that he is a mate of Prabowo, having shared a room with him while attending the Military Academy in Magelang. Most of Prabowo's known allies in the military have done well in the recent round of promotions. Probably the most important of these are Bambang Yudhoyono and Maj-Gen Zacky Anwar Makarim, head of Military Intelligence (BIA). Like Prabowo, both have extensive combat experience in East Timor and are regarded, within the army at least, as intellectuals.

Well connected

While it may be pointless to speculate, as Bob Lowry argues in this issue of Inside Indonesia, which particular officers will prevail in the post-Suharto era, a look at the rising military elite suggests some interesting trends. More professionally trained than their predecessors, they are also more educated, several holding degrees in management or business. Many are closely related to rich and influential civilian businesspeople. Apart from the obvious example of Prabowo, Zacky Anwar is the brother of Indonesia's highest paid corporate lawyer, and Maj-Gen Luhut Panjaitan, the new head of the Army Education and Training Command, is the brother in law of the wealthy economist and securities trader Syahrir.

Many officers, moreover, have taken part in international missions in Cambodia, Bosnia, the Philippines and the Middle East in the 1980s and 1990s, exposing them to alternative military cultures.

But while these experiences may have given some a greater understanding of the economy and the outside world and reinforced their sense of belonging to the civilian elite, it does not appear to have made them any more sympathetic to democratic ideals.

The men in charge of the military have, after all, spent most of their careers fighting Indonesians, whether in Kalimantan, Lampung, Timor, Aceh or Irian Jaya. They are deeply imbued with the idea that the greatest threat to the state is from disloyal elements within the country. They see it as their role, as Sjafrie made clear in an October interview with Forum magazine, to watch the people very closely and to nip any trouble in the bud.

Perhaps the clearest manifestation of this attitude was the storming of the PDI headquarters on 27 July 1996 by thugs said to have been coordinated by precisely the men whose stars are now shining bright: Wiranto, Prabowo and Sjafrie, along with Jakarta's new mayor, Maj-Gen Sutiyoso, another former Timor commando with substantial underworld links.

The Forgotten 'Elite' Units

2004-06-09T18:49:00.000+07:00

Source: Tempo, No. 13/IV, Desember 02 - 08, 2003

AFTER the Bali bombings of October 12, 2002, Indonesian Military (TNI) commander General Endriartono Sutarto announced he would reactivate the Special Anti-Terror Task Force. Two months later, Defense Minister Matori Abdul Djalil visited TNI's "elite of elites". The following are details of the various units within the TNI.

Group 5/Terror Prevention, Army Special Forces (Kopassus)

This group had its origins in the establishment of Kopassus Detachment 81 in 1997. The group is battalion strength and has special fighting abilities. The name of the detachment is taken from the incident when hostages on a hijacked Garuda plane at Bangkok's Don Muang Airport were freed in Operation Woyla in April 1981. It was subsequently named the 81 Anti-Terror Unit.

The group is divided into small units with specific skills such as climbing attack troops (dakibu). This unit can climb buildings using ways the enemy will not suspect such as climbing sanitation pipes and can carry out short range attacks inside buildings or in city streets to anticipate sabotage and hostage taking. This ability to climb steep slopes was tested when Kopassus dakibu scaled the Sigura-gura waterfall in North Sumatra in 1985.

Special Tracking Unit (Sanjak)

This special unit was set up by Major Prabowo Subianto, commander of the Kopassus Special Education Center in Batujajar, West Java, who went on to be Kopassus general. The primitive war techniques instructors were taken from Dayak tribe scouts from the interior of Kalimantan. This unit was tested when Kopassus freed 13 Lorents Park researchers who had been taken hostage by the Free Papua Organization (OPM) led by Kelly Kwalik in Mapanduma, Kerom, Jayawijaya in May 1996.

All Kopassus troops can be dropped into buildings, jungles or the sea using techniques such as fast trooping, fast raffling or stabo from a helicopter. They include snipers armed with international standard anti-terrorist weapons such as short-range weapons for close-in fighting like the MP-5, Steyr, SS1 attack rifle, H&K P-7 automatic pistol and special boots that leave footprints as if the wearer was walking in the opposite direction.

After liberating the hostages in Mapanduma, The Times of Britain called Kopassus one of the world's best special forces units, after the British Special Air Service and the Israeli Special Forces. But Kopassus' image suffered after 1998, when several of its members were found guilty of kidnapping student activists and murdering Papuan Presidium chairman Theys Hiyo Eluay. The current Kopassus commander is on trial for human rights violations in the 1984 Tanjung Priok case.

Detachment Bravo 90, Indonesian Air Force Special Forces

This special forces unit from the Indonesian Air Force is based at Hussein Sastranegara Airbase, Bandung, West Java and specializes in protecting primary defense equipment and vital objects against air attack. Formed in 1990, it also has the ability to prevent the sabotage of air control towers.

Even if the control tower is destroyed by an enemy, they can quickly bring a shadow control tower into operation using their equipment. "They will control traffic in the flight lanes just like a cop directing traffic," says a former Bravo Detachment training instructor who did not want to give his name.
