Sebastian Vettel Juara 1 GP Australia

Melbourne - Sebastian Vettel dan Red Bull Racing mengawali musim balapan F1 kali ini dengan cemerlang. Namun tak serta merta membuat mereka jumawa karena merasa musim ini masihlah panjang dan para rivalnya punya peluang sama jadi juara.

Vettel yang merupakan juara dunia musim lalu tampil apik di GP Australia, Minggu (27/3/2011) siang WIB, yang adalah seri pembuka. Meraih pole position di sesi kualifikasi, pembalap asal Jerman itu meneruskan dominasinya saat lomba dengan jadi yang pertama menyentuh garis finis.

Dominasi yang diperlihatkan Vettel adalah di mana ia menyelesaikan balapan dengan selisih waktu 22,297 detik dari Lewis Hamilton di posisi kedua. Ini menunjukkan bahwa Vettel sulit disaingin pembalap lain dalam balapan tadi dan mungkin saja di seri-seri berikutnya.

Meski begitu Vettel enggan berbesar kepala dengan menilai musim ini akan kembali jadi milik Red Bull. Baginya peluang pembalap lain sama besarnya untuk berjaya musim ini sekaligus dirinya senang bisa membuka F1 2011 dengan kemenangan.

"Aku selalu mencoba untuk bilang kepada tim, kami harus tetap merendah. Kami mendapat banyak poin dan menikmati penampilan kami. Itu lebih penting. Ini musim yang panjang dan banyak hal yang bisa terjadi," tutur Vettel di Autosport.
"Pembalap yang berada di sebelahku (Hamilton dan Petrov) ditambah Ferrari, selalu sangat kuat. Mercedes tidak mengawali dengan baik namun mereka akan jadi lebih kuat musim ini," sambungnya.

"Akan sangat ketat musim ini namun penting untuk bisa finis. Jadi terima kasih sebesar-sebesarnya untuk orang-orang yang ada di tim ini. Kuncinya adalah mobil ini cepat dan bisa diandalkan. Ini adalah pertama kalinya aku bisa finis di GP Australia jadi aku sangat senang sekali," seru pembalap berusia 23 tahun itu.

Sejak tiga kali mengikuti GP Australia memang Vettel selalu tak bernasib baik saat dua kali retired dan musim lalu hanya finis di urutan ke-13. Saat ini Vettel pun langsung bertengger di posisi puncak pembalap dengan 25 poin dan seri berikutnya adalah di Sepang pada 10 April.

"Ini bukan balapan yang mudah. Banyak hal yang bisa kami pelajari hari ini dan kami masih harus melihat hal-hal lain dari balapan tadi," tuntasnya.

Stoner memang jagoan di Losail sirkuit Qatar

LOSAIL, Qatar (AFP) – Australia's Casey Stoner started his Honda career with a dominant display at the season-opening Qatar Grand Prix here on Sunday.
The Australian finished 3.440sec ahead of reigning world champion Jorge Lorenzo, with team-mate Dani Pedrosa third at 5.051sec as Honda claimed their first win in the opening round of the season in eight years.
Stoner learnt from his mistake of last year, when he started from pole only to crash on lap six, by letting Pedrosa move ahead early on and even permitted Lorenzo to lead briefly after the Yamaha rider overtook both Hondas.
Multiple former champion Valentino Rossi started his Ducati career with seventh place in a tough race as he battles with a shoulder injury.
"I couldn't have dreamt of a better start to the season, but I'm not going to get carried away and will continue to work," said 25-year-old Stoner.
"The first lap was very tough because of how my bike reacted with a full tank. Afterwards it was much better and the bike improved with every lap until the end."
Stoner moved ahead on lap two, followed by Pedrosa, who went on to lead from lap seven to 12 before being reeled in during in a battle between the Spaniards and the Australian.
"When I saw Dani (Pedrosa) starting to have problems, I attacked strongly, I overtook him and took the lead. After that I just tried to control the race," said Stoner, who previously won here in 2008 and 2009, and claimed the 31st victory of his career.
Honda did not have it all their own way despite topping the times in each of the eight testing sessions at Sepang in Malaysia and then here in Qatar over the past week, and Stoner admitted he had never underestimated Lorenzo.
"I always say you can improve the whole time and Jorge proved that his weekend. In the race, he showed us what he was capable of," said Stoner, adding that he was expecting a battle at the second Grand Prix at Jerez in Spain on April 3.
"It risks being less easy for us in Jerez on a track where I haven't had much success in the past. I'm even looking foward to going there this year to battle against two rivals of very high level (Lorenzo and Pedrosa)," added Stoner.
France's Randy de Puniet crashed out of race in the first lap as reigning Moto2 champion Toni Elias of Spain, who has stepped up to MotoGP this season, had a nightmare race, from his start at the back of the grid to his fall at the end of the race.
Germany's Stefan Bradl won the Moto2 category on a Kalex.
Starting from pole position for the first time in his career, Bradl beat home Italy's Andrea Iannone on a Suter, while Swiss rider Thomas Luthi was third, also on a Suter.
It was Bradl's second Moto2 success after Portugal last year.
Spaniard Nicolas Terol lead an Aprilia sweep of the 125cc category, ahead of Germany's Sandro Cortese and Spaniard Sergio Gadea.

Kecanduan Game Online bisa kayak gini deh.....

Sering Bolos, Pakai Uang Jajan Hingga Mencuri

Game Online Membuat Remaja Itu Berhenti Sekolah

WASPADAI para remaja yang kecanduan game online, khususnya di warung internet (warnet). Bagi yang berduit, mungkin tak masalah. Tapi yang kantongnya pas-pasan, bisa-bisa malah berbuat kriminal.
MARAKNYA warnet di Kota Tepian, khususnya yang menyediakan game online, sekilas menggambarkan, remaja saat ini seolah melek teknologi dan mengikuti perkembangan zaman. Namun dampak negatifnya ternyata tidak bisa dipungkiri.
Tak sedikit remaja yang kecanduan, menghabiskan waktunya di warnet. Tugasnya sebagai pelajar pun ditinggalkan. Termasuk menghalalkan segala cara agar bisa bermain game online.
Seorang remaja berusia 14 tahun, berinisial Wa, warga Damanhuri, Sungai Pinang ini misalnya. Wa harus berurusan dengan polisi akibat candu bermain game online.
Ya, beberapa waktu lalu Wa digelandang ke Polsekta Samarinda Utara hanya gara-gara kecanduan bermain game online "Point Blank" atau dikenal dengan sebutan PB di sebuah warnet, di Jl Sentosa, Sungai Pinang.
Lantaran sudah candu, Wa nekat "nge-game" hingga lebih dari 12 jam dalam sehari. Namun belakangan, Wa tidak mampu membayar tarif bermain. Belakangan pengelola warnet keberatan dan melaporkan Wa ke Polsekta Utara.
"Saya kecanduan main PB di warnet sudah setahun lebih. Awalnya diajak teman, tapi lama-lama saya kecanduan," ucapnya saat ditemui Sapos di Polsekta Utara.
Bahkan karena lebih memilih game online, Wa harus putus sekolah. Ia dikeluarkan karena malas sekolah. Soalnya, di pikirannya hanya ingin singgah di warnet ketimbang menimba ilmu pengetahuan.
"Saya berhenti sekolah karena banyak bolosnya. Sering saya bolos dan main di warnet. Karena banyak absen, saya dikeluarkan," bebernya.
Bahkan uang jajan dan uang untuk membeli keperluan sekolahnya ludes cuma untuk bermain game online. Wa mengatakan, orangtuanya sudah "angkat tangan" alias cuek terhadap remaja yang sempat mengenyam bangku pendidikan hingga kelas 2 SMP ini.
Dan akibat kecanduan game online ini Wa juga kerap mencuri uang orangtuanya atau menjual barang-barang.
"Sehari tidak main PB di warnet, saya gelisah," ucapnya saat Sapos menanyakan intensitasnya bermain game online tersebut.
Wa merupakan salah satu remaja yang menjadi korban dampak negatif perkembangan teknologi. Fenemona ini jelas harus menjadi perhatian serius semua pihak agar tak lebih banyak lagi anak-anak, remaja, pelajar bahkan mahasiswa yang menjadi korbannya.
Kondisi ini dibenarkan oleh Kapolsekta Samarinda Utara Kompol Bramanti Agus SH SIK. "Sudah beberapa kali kami menangani kasus remaja yang melakukan kenakalan yang menjurus tindak kriminalitas, hanya karena ia kecanduan main game di warnet. Ada yang mencuri uang orangtua. Bahkan ada beberapa remaja yang diamankan karena melakukan pemalakan," beber Bramanti.
Ia menganalisa, remaja yang kecanduan game online cenderung melakuan perbuatan negatif. "Misalnya, remaja menjadi kehilangan konsentrasi terhadap studinya,  sering bolos atau lupa tanggungjawabnya sebagai pelajar. Perilaku negatif lainnya seperti berbohong, mencuri uang. Darimana setiap hari mereka mendapatkan uang? Mereka pelajar dan masih bergantung dengan orangtua," tandasnya lagi.
Bramanti mengaku prihatin dengan masalah ini. Ia mengimbau kalangan pendidik dan orangtua bisa memperhatikan serius masalah ini. "Berikan bimbingan kepada remaja agar mereka memiliki masa depan yang baik. Jangan sampai kelengahan membuat si anak salah melangkah dan terjerumus melakoni perbuatan yang merusak masa depannya," jelasnya lagi.
Bramanti juga mengimbau kepada pengelola warnet untuk ikut peduli dan meminimalisir dampak negatif yang bisa muncul. "Pengelola warnet bisa memberlakukan aturan ketat kepada pengunjung, khususnya yang berusia remaja. Misalnya tidak mengizinkan pelajar atau remaja berada di warnet pada jam sekolah," jelasnya lagi.  (bayu)

7 Ways to Achieve a Good Night's Sleep

Do you have problems falling asleep each night? Sleep is considered as a natural rejuvenator. If you do not achieve a full night's sleep, on a regular basis every night, you'll have trouble getting through your day, and you won't be able to do even simple jobs competently. Over an extended time period of fitful sleep, you are likely to suffer physical and psychological trauma. This essay studies this difficulty of not getting enough sleep, and speaks on 7 things certain to improve your sleep, every night.

1. Bedroom Ambience: Your brain has to realize that your bedroom is planned for sleeping. To this end, you have to see that the setting of the room facilitates sleep. This starts with the mattresses and pillows you use. Use comfortable mattresses and pillows that you like. Ensure the bedroom is without noise. The essential rule is to make sure that when you go to the bedroom, sleep suggests itself naturally.

2. Soothing Music: A few selections of music can be very comforting and assist you to go to sleep, specially gentle tunes. From the beginning, children have been put to sleep using melodies. A number of individuals are lulled to restful sleep when they hear classical music, such as Mozart, while lying down.

3. Sleep Pattern: People are molded by routine. There's nothing like a regular routine to produce self-control, in no matter what we accomplish. When you fall asleep at the identical time every night, and in the same way, wake up at the same time morning after morning, you body clock adjusts to recognize this routine. It commences to function like an alarm-bell that tells you not only when to get up, but as well when to retire for the night.

4. Limit Day Sleep: A lot has been written on power snoozing, and the capacity of hyperactive individuals like Napoleon Bonaparte to take naps during the day to maintain their energy levels high. Such naps must ideally not go beyond twenty mins., else they may negatively impact nighttime sleep.

5. Shun Alcohol, Exercise, Caffeine Before Bedtime: There are some things you have to abstain from doing for some time prior to sleeping. These include imbibing alcohol and caffeine. Also, resist the temptation to do a rigorous work out before going to bed. Any exertion more strenuous than a short walk after dinner to aid digestion might stop you from having a good night's rest.

6. Things To Avoid In Bed: Restrict your TV watching to your living room. If you see television from your bed, your head won't any longer associate the bedroom as the rational location for sleep, as advised at the start of this essay. Also, avoid reading or eating when you have retired to bed.

7. Herbal Remedies: There are herbal cures that induce sleep. However before you try them out, you have to recognize that there are drugs that bring on very light sleep.

Sleep can either be the REM, or Rapid Eye Movement, variety, or the non-REM kind. REM sleep is the one that is often accompanies by dreaming. This sort of sleeping doesn't offer your body the rest it requires. You have to get non-REM sleep if you want to wake up invigorated. Therefore, before you try any herbal medicines, equip yourself with adequate information on the type of the cure. Find out everything you can on the quality of the ingredients used; inferior ingredients can have side effects that are more horrific than the condition they attempt to heal. Michael Rupkalvis runs the LifeFormulas website, which offers a unique blog about his day-to-day activities with ITV Ventures many health-related products. One of the health products sold is Straight 2 Sleep, which is a natural sleeping supplement that can help resolve insomnia, so that we all can enjoy the many benefits of restful sleep.
