LONDON, SABTU - Tidak seperti tahun-tahun sebelumnya, awal tahun baru 2009 akan terlambat satu detik. Sejumlah ilmuwan yang selama ini peduli terhadap standardisasi waktu di seluruh dunia telah sepakat menambah satu detik di akhir tahun 2008.
Penambahan ini untuk memastikan dunia tetap tepat waktu. Rotasi Bumi sebagai standar 24 jam masih digunakan dalam penentuan waktu di jam. Padahal, rotasi Bumi dari waktu ke waktu mengalami keterlambatan. Pencairan es di kutub, aktivitas inti Bumi, gelombang laut, dan efek gravitasi Matahari dan Bulan membuat poros rotasi berubah-ubah dan mengalami perlambatan 2 milidetik setiap hari.
Sementara standar yang presisi kini digunakan berdasarkan perhitungan wakwa 1 detik setara dengan waktu yang dibutuhkan sebuah atom cesium untuk bergetar sebanyak 9.192.631.770 kali. Dengan standar tersebut, jam atom hanya terlambat satu detik dalam 200 juta tahun. Akibat perbedaan ini menyebabkan tampilan jam atom harus disesuaikan dengan jam berdasarkan rotasi Bumi.
Tambahan detik yang diatur lembaga standardisasi waktu dunia International Rotation and Reference Systems Service akan dilakukan secara resmi pada malam tahun baru di Greenwich, Inggris. Greenwich selama ini menjadi referensi jam di seluruh dunia dengan sebutan GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) atau Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Secara teknis, pada malam tahun baru akan ditambahkan hitungan 23.59.60 sebelum berubah menjadi 00.00.00 memasuki 1 Januari 2009. Sebanyak 200 jam atom yang tersebar di 50 laboratorium di seluruh dunia akan menyesuaikan dengan perubahan ini.
Detik tambahan yang sering disebut Leap Second ini bukan kali pertama dilakukan. Sejak standardisasi waktu dunia disepakati tahun 1972 telah dilakukan 24 kali.
Meski seolah tahun 2009 terlambat satu detik, sebenarnya justru maju beberapa milidetik. Sebab, saat ini jam atom terlambat 0,6 detik sehingga penambahan satu detik membuat waktu Bumi 0,4 detik lebih dulu. Maju atau mundur, perayaan tahun baru tetap saja yang paling ditunggu-tunggu.

Tahun BAru terlambat 1 detik
Allen Iverson Terkena HukUman
Pemain Pistons Allen Iverson terancam denda besar dan tak dimainkan dalam partai Detroit Pistons berikutnya. Itu merupakan ganjaran dari pelatih Michael Curry setelah sang pemain mangkir latihan.
Iverson absen dalam sesi latihan, Kamis (27/11/2008) waktu setempat. Hari itu bertepatan dengan perayaan Thanksgiving, yang mana di AS jatuh pada hari Kamis keempat bulan November.
Iverson sebelumnya menggerutu saat Curry memutuskan tetap menggelar latihan di hari Thanksgiving, kendati Rabu malamnya Pistons baru bertanding lawan New York Knicks.
Iverson hanyalah satu dari sejumlah pemain Pistons yang keberatan dengan rencana Curry menggelar latihan di periode liburan tersebut. Namun, hanya pebasket 33 tahun itu yang kemudian absen.
Curry pun langsung menegaskan bahwa Iverson akan menerima hukuman atas tindakan indispliner itu. Posisinya sebagai starter dalam laga melawan Milwaukee Bucks akan digantikan Rodney Stuckey

Perkembangan ICT
Perkembangan ICT (Information and Communication Technologi) di sekolahku yaitu MAN 3 Malang sangat bagus. Banyak siswa-siswi MAN 3 yang kemampuan ICTnya meningkat kerena ICT di MAN 3 lumayan bagus. Contohnya saya, yang dulu belum bisa mengoperasikan Swishmax dengan baik, sekarang saya sudah bisa mengotak-atik swishmax dengan baik. Materi yang diberiakan oleh guru ICT sangat bagus dan sangat berguna sekali. cara pembelajarannya juga yang santai, membuat para siswa merasa tidak bosan. Dan materi-materi yang diberikan malah sangat mengasikkan.
Selain materi yang diberikan bagus, fasilitas untuk pempelajaran ICT juga terpenuhi. Dan sekolah juga memfasilitasi siswa dengan dioperasikannya hot spot, jadi kita bisa belajar dari media lain tidak hanya dari materi yang diberikan oleh guru dan wawasan kita soal ICT menjadi lebih luas.
Pemanfaatan ICT juga banyak diperlukan dibidang pelajaran lainnya, tidak hanya waktu pelajaran ICT. Dengan adanya ICT kita juga bisa lebih mudah menerangkan pelajaran lain seperti Geografi, Biologi, Bahasa Inggris,dll dengan menggunakan powerpoint/ flash dan itu lebih menarik dari pada kita menjelaskan secara manual.
Selain dibidang pelajaran, ICT juga bermanfaat untuk kehidupan sehari-hari. Mulai dari bisnis, kesehatan, pendidikan, berita, hobi, kesenangan, dll semua itu bisa didapatkan dari website/ blog-blog yang ada di dunia maya. Dan siswa-siswa di MAN 3 juga diajarkan bagaimana cara membuat blog, yang itu sangat bermanfaat sekali.
Kesimpulannya perkembangan dan pemanfaatan ICT di MAN 3 Malang itu sudah bagus. Guru-guru ICT telah banyak memberikan materi-meteri dan jurus-jurus mereka sehingga siswa-siswi bisa mempraktekkanya dengan baik. Dan pemanfaatannya telah cukup di rasakan oleh siswa-siswi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.

Kemengan Pertama Iverson di"DeTRoiT"
Sacramento, BOLASportsLine/ap Allen Iverson pantas berbangga. Setelah menelan dua kekalahan pasca bergabung dengan Detroit Pistons beberapa pekan lalu. Iverson akhirnya mencicipi kemenangan perdana bersama klub barunya itu. Tidak hanya itu, Iverson juga menjadi inspirator kemenangan tim.
Dengan laga yang berlangusng di ARCO Arena, Selasa malam (11/11). Iverson tampil dominan guna membawa Pistons menumbangkan tuan rumah Sacramento Kings, 100-92. Eks pilar Philadelpia 76-ers dan Denver Nuggets itu mencetak 30 poin dan sembilan assist. Sementara Tayshaun Prince mencetak 26 poin dan 11 rebound.
"Dari awal saya yakin kami akan memenangkan pertandingan ini. Saya bangga dengan kemenangan pertama dan akan terus meraih banyak hasil bagus lagi," ucap Iverson pada AP.
Sebelum memastikan kemenangan, Pistons memulai pertandingan dengan sangat buruk. Tertinggal 31-18 di kuarter pertama. Kebangkitan Allen Iverson dkk., baru terjadi di kuarter kedua dengan menambah 32 poin sedangkan Kings hanya mencetak 19 poin.
Kuarter ketiga kedua tim bermain dalam tempo tinggi. Sepajangan 12 menit ketiga itu, Pistons mencetak 27 poin dan Kings 25 poin. Sayang, di kuarter terakhir Kings yang tidak diperkuat pilar Kevin Martin akibat cedera engkel kaki kiri tidak mampu mengimbangi kehebatan tim tamu. Dengan tambahan 25 poin maka Pistons menutup pertandingan dengan skor akhir 100-92.
Point Guard, Beno Udrih menjadi pencetak angka terbanyak Kings dengan 18 poin kemudian diikuti oleh Jason Thompson dengan 15 poin.
Iverson "CAREER"
NBA career
Philadelphia 76ers
After two seasons at Georgetown, Iverson was selected first overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1996 NBA Draft. He played with the Sixers for 10 years. During his tenure he was Rookie of the Year, League MVP, 2x All-Star MVP, and led the league in scoring for four years.
1996–2000 Franchise Player
After his rookie season, during which he led the 76ers in points, assists and minutes, Iverson was named the 1996 NBA Rookie of the Year and was a member of the NBA All-Rookie First Team[4].
After the 1998-1999 season, during which he averaged 26.8 points and earned his first scoring title, Iverson made his first trip to the playoffs. He started all ten playoff games and averaged 44.4 minutes per game despite being hampered by a number of nagging injuries. Iverson led the Sixers to an upset over the Orlando Magic, before losing to the Indiana Pacers in the second round.
Prior to the next season, Iverson signed a six-year, $70 million contract extension[5]. That year, Iverson averaged 28.4 points and again led the 76ers into the playoffs. In the process, Iverson was selected to the Eastern Conference All Star team for the first time of what would be 9 straight appearances. In the playoffs, Iverson averaged 26.2 points, 4.8 assists, 4 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, with a high of 40 points in the first round opener at Charlotte on April 22, 2000. Philadelphia advanced past Charlotte, but was eliminated again by Indiana in the second round. That season, he was the only player other than Shaquille O'Neal to receive a NBA Most Valuable Player vote, and he was named to his first All NBA first team.
2000–2001 MVP season
In the 2000 off-season, the 76ers actively tried to trade Iverson, and had agreed to terms with the Detroit Pistons before Matt Geiger, who was included in the deal, refused to forfeit his $5 million trade kicker.[6]
That season, Iverson led his team to wins in the first ten games of the season, and was named starter at the 2001 NBA All-Star Game, where he won the game MVP. The Sixers also posted a 56-26 record, the best in the Eastern Conference that season. He also averaged a then-career high 31.1 points, winning his second NBA scoring title in the process. Iverson won the NBA steals title at 2.5 a game. Iverson was named NBA Most Valuable Player, and named to the All NBA First team for his accomplishments.
In the playoffs, Iverson and the Sixers defeated the Indiana Pacers in the first round, before meeting Vince Carter-led Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Semifinals. The series went the full seven games. In the next round, the Sixers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks, also in seven games, to advance to the 2001 NBA Finals against the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers.
Iverson led the Sixers to their first finals since their 1983 championship. In game one of the 2001 NBA Finals, Iverson scored a playoff high 48 points and beat the heavily favored Lakers 107-101. In the game he notably stepped over Tyronn Lue after hitting a crucial shot.[7] Iverson would go on to score 23, 35, 35, 37 in games 2-5, all losing efforts though the Sixers were not swept like many predicted. Iverson enjoyed his most successful season as an individual and as a member of the Sixers during the 2000–01 NBA season.
2002–2006
The next season, the Sixers failed to repeat their success. Iverson and others struggled with injury, and despite averaging a league high 31.4 points per game. The Sixers fell to the sixth seed in the 2002 Playoffs, where they fell to the Boston Celtics in the first round.
Relationship with Larry Brown
For most of the early portion of Iverson's career, his head coach with the Sixers was Larry Brown. Iverson often praised Brown, saying that he would not have achieved so much in the sport without Brown's guidance.[need quote] The two frequently clashed, including after the 76ers were defeated in the first round of the 2002 NBA Playoffs, when Brown criticized Iverson for missing team practices and Iverson responded by saying, "We're sitting here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we're talking about practice,"[8] and went on a rant that included the word "practice" 25 times. [9]
In the 2002-2003 season, Iverson once again put up stellar scoring numbers 27.6, was named an NBA All Star, and led the Sixers to the playoffs. This time they were eliminated by the Detroit Pistons, in the second round after a 6-game series. Brown left the 76ers in 2003, following the playoff loss. After his departure from the 76ers, both he and Iverson indicated that the two were on good terms and genuinely fond of one another.[need quote] Iverson later reunited with Brown when Iverson became a member and co-captain of the 2004 United States Olympic men's basketball team.
The next season, under new coach Randy Ayers, Iverson had his worst season to date. The Sixers started off slowly and Ayers was fired midway through the season. Iverson also missed 34 games due to injury, the highest amount of games he had ever missed in a season. Though he still averaged 26.4 points per game, the Sixers failed to make the playoffs for the first time since Iverson's second season. In the 2004-2005 season, the 76ers named Jim O'Brien their coach. This season saw a resugence of Iverson, as he averaged 30.7 points per game, capturing his fourth scoring title. This tied him with George Gervin for 3rd most scoring titles among an individual. Iverson also averaged a career high 7.9 assists per game. Meanwhile, the Sixers acquired power forward Chris Webber from the Sacramento Kings in a midseason trade. While the Iverson and Webber initially didn't mesh, they lifted the 76ers into the playoffs where they lost to the Detroit Pistons in the first round. He was named to the All NBA First team at seasons end.
Fallout with Sixers
The 2005–2006 would be the last full season for Iverson in a Sixers uniform. He averaged a career high 33.7 points per game, but the Sixers missed the playoffs for the second time in three years. He had also began to clash with coach Jim O'Brien, and O'Brien was fired midway through the season.
On April 18, 2006 Iverson and Chris Webber arrived late to the Sixers' fan appreciation night and home game finale. Players are expected to report 90 minutes before game time, but both Iverson and Webber arrived around tipoff. Coach Maurice Cheeks notified the media that neither would be playing and general manager Billy King announced that Iverson and Webber would be fined.[10] During the 2006 off-season, trade rumors had Iverson going to Denver, Atlanta, or Boston. None of the deals were completed. Iverson had made it clear that he would like to stay a Sixer.[11]
On November 29, 2006 following a conflict at practice, Iverson stormed out of the gymnasium. That same evening, Iverson missed a corporate sponsor night at Lucky Strike Lanes in Philadelphia. All the 76ers besides Iverson attended this mandatory event. Iverson was fined an undisclosed amount by the 76ers. Iverson claimed he overslept after taking medication for pain related to having two abscessed teeth pulled but it was reported that Iverson told teammates earlier in the day he planned to blow off the event and was simply going to take the fine.[12]
On December 8, 2006 Iverson reportedly demanded a trade from the Sixers (although he would deny that)[13]. As a result of the demand and missing practice prior to a matchup against the Washington Wizards, Iverson was told not to play nor attend any further games. During that game, which was televised nationally on ESPN, Sixers Chairman Ed Snider confirmed the trade rumors by stating "We're going to trade him. At a certain point, you have to come to grips with the fact that it's not working. He wants out and we're ready to accommodate him."[14]
Denver Nuggets
On December 19, 2006, the Philadelphia 76ers sent Iverson and forward Ivan McFarlin to the Denver Nuggets for Andre Miller, Joe Smith, and two first-round picks in the 2007 NBA Draft. At the time of the trade, Iverson was the NBA's number two leading scorer with teammate Carmelo Anthony being number one.[15]
On December 23, 2006, Iverson played his first game as a Nugget. He had 22 points and 10 assists in a losing effort to the Sacramento Kings. [16] In Iverson's first year as a Nugget they made the playoffs. They won the first game and lost the next four to the San Antonio Spurs. [17]
Iverson returned to Philadelphia on March 19, 2008 to a sell-out crowd and received a standing ovation in a 115-113 loss. [18]
Detroit Pistons
On November 3, 2008, Iverson was dealt from the Denver Nuggets to the Detroit Pistons for guard Chauncey Billups, forward Antonio McDyess and center Cheikh Samb.[19]
Iverson, who had worn a number 3 jersey his entire NBA career, switched to number 1 for the Pistons. The number 3 was being worn by Rodney Stuckey, and although he stated that he would be willing to give up the number, the NBA ruled that a change in numbers cannot take place until after the season.[20]
