Johannesburg. As the World Cup drew to a tumultuous close on
Sunday night, South Africa completed its mission to show the rest
of the planet a new face, upending stereotypes and nightmare
scenarios about a country that has successfully showed o its modern
accomplishments.
Images of the worlds best footballers, ecstatic fans and top
stadiums ruled headlines usually clouded by South Africas painful
apartheid divisions and staggering crime and poverty that still
aict millions. The world has seen this country in a dierent light,
President Jacob Zuma boasted.
Newspapers around the world have declared the rst World Cup on
African soil a win for all of Africa, a big successful party and a
well-organized Cup as visiting celebrities gushed about the
host.
Within South Africa, the experience was compared to the euphoria
20 years ago when Nelson Mandela walked out of an apartheid prison
and set the nation on the path toward full democracy, with
elections he won in 1994.
To just present a new South Africa that we dreamt about when
Mandela walked out of prison in 1990 becoming a reality in 2010,
and that was special, said top World Cup organizer Danny Jordaan, a
veteran of
the democracy struggle.
After the kick-o on June 11, dire warnings overseas that
tourists would need stab-proof vests and private bodyguards quickly
slipped away in favor of images of a multiracial nation celebrating
together in modern cities.
The explosion of national pride and the unity that has been
displayed by all South Africans is an invaluable benet of the
tournament, Zuma said.
Now most people will return to their normal lives, and few
expect to see many white faces in black neighbor-hoods.
After, it will be quiet and there wont be any whites any more in
Soweto, said Evans Shivambu, at a farewell parade for the
tournament.
But sports authorities say they want to make an eort, and next
month will stage a rugby test match in Soccer City, bringing a
traditionally white sport to the stadium on the edge of Soweto.
The real gains, South Africa believes, are in changing the
worlds perceptions. You could never pay for it, so I think its
invaluable, said Gillian Saunders, director of consultants Grant
Thornton. The real payo is not the event itself, its the global
proling of South Africa and thats gone very, very well. We need to
leverage the prole weve got for tourism, investment and
commerce.

JAKARTA - The National Space and Aeronautics Institution (LAPAN)
plans to launch a satellite, to be named Nano, to observe weather
this year, an ocial says. Head of LAPANs applied technology center
Rika Andiarti said the satellite would work to observe temperature
and humidity along with other required data.
Were preparing to launch the Nano satellite, which weighs 5
kilograms, she said. In the next ve years, we have set a target to
be able to produce our own rocket launcher so Indonesia no longer
has to launch its satellite from another country.
In a hope to develop space and aeronautics technology, the
institu-tion also held a rocket competition for university students
from across the country. After a series of tests, from 40 teams of
38 universities, only 31 remained for the launching test on
Sunday.

Government Allocates $1 Billionto Repair, Build New
Classrooms
The Indonesian government has set aside Rp 9.3 trillion ($1.02
billion) to repair 132,000 damaged elementary school classrooms and
build others around the country this year, an ocial says.
The total budget needed for the project is Rp 14 trillion. The
rest will be made available next year, Deputy National Education
Minis-ter Fasli Jalal said after receiving participants of the 2010
young national leaders forum facilitated by US nongovernmental
organiza-tion World Vision at the National Education Ministry in
Jakarta on Thursday.
The school buildings have been damaged and therefore we will
repair them every year.

DENPASAR - The length of stay for foreign tourist visiting
Indonesia declined 10.33% in May 2010, becoming 1.91 days as
compared to 2.13 days in May 2009. Downturns in the length of stay
were recorded in Jakarta, Central Java, North Sulawesi, East
Kalimantan, Riau, Lampung, Jambi and Bali.
The shorter length of visit for foreign tourist was less
pronounced in Bali where the rate of decline only 6.37%, down to
just 3.23 days in May while the same month one year before recorded
3.45 day average visits.
Bisnis.com quoted the director the nancial statistics,
information technology and tourism at the National Statistic
Bureau, Adi Lumak-sono, as citing the world-wide economic downturn
as causing the declining length of stay for tourists visiting
Indonesia. Travelers are taking shorter trips closer to home. As
further proof, Lumaksono pointed to the strong number of visitors
from Malaysia and Singapore coming to Indonesia at the moment.
More Tourists That Have Shorter Stays
As expected, severe trac congestion and delays occurred in
Jakarta to mark the beginning of the new academic year, resulting
in many students being late for school.
Muhammad Rizal, a student from 78 Senior High School in
Kemanggisan, West Jakarta, said he had left home 45 minutes before
classes began at 7 a.m. but was still late because of the chaotic
trac.
Rizals school, considered to be among the better high schools in
the capital, is located next to two other schools with good
reputations, namely Bhakti Elementary School and 111 Junior High
School, and consequently trac suers accordingly.
The trac problems are compounded by a variety of street hawkers
occupy-ing the sidewalks.
Its always like this during the rst day of school because
parents want to see their children o to school. It will be less
crowded on the third or fourth day, security ocer Farid said.
Ratna Sari, who escorted her daughter to her rst day of
elementary school, said her daughter did not know where her
classroom was.
My child still needs to adjust to her new school and she doesnt
even know where her classroom is so I must help her, Ratna said.
When she knows where it is, she will go to school by herself with
an ojek [motorcycle taxi].

In 2010 alone, the government will spend Rp 9.3 trillion on the
project, he said. The budget allocations would include building new
classrooms, he said.
Fasli said the government would also build new kindergartens
integrated with elemen-tary schools and junior high schools,
particu-larly in remote areas to give students better access to
education. We want the distance between the school buildings and
students homes not to be more than two kilometers. Otherwise,
students, particularly those living in remote areas, will nd it
hard to get to the schools, he said.

NEWSRude Exit for Visiting Green Activists
It came as a shock to Thai environmental activist Chariya
Senpong, that one of her rst tastes of Indonesian hospitality was a
nights accommodation courtesy of the Cirebon Police.
Chariya is in the country with three other Thais for a meeting
and site visit as part of a Greenpeace anti-coal campaign in
Southeast Asia.
However, the meeting at the Warudu-wur village hall in Cirebon,
West Java, on Monday turned ugly when 100 police-men burst in and
arrested 12 foreign nationals the four Thais, one from Hong Kong,
three from the Philippines, two from China, two from India. Two
Indonesians were also detained.
The group, comprising Greenpeace activists, community leaders
and experts, were questioned for allegedly staging an unlawful
gathering and then handed over to the immigration oce, where they
were quizzed again until late on Tuesday before own back to Jakarta
and being deported.
Its OK now because its almost clear, Chariya, the Greenpeace
climate and energy campaigner in Thailand, told the Jakarta Globe.
Our main purpose for coming was to meet activists and share
experiences because every one of [our nations have] coal
communities and issues.
She said the meeting was meant to explain how stakeholders could
work together to promote renewable energy and raise awareness of
the impact of coal-red power plants.
After we nished, the police came and tried to throw us out,
Chariya said. We didnt commit any violence or do anything wrong,
but the police wouldnt release us and nally we all had to go down
to the police station.
We were surprised by Indonesian law enforcement. We were just
holding a meeting, and not breaking the immigra-tion law.
Greenpeace Southeast Asia climate and
source : thejakartaglobe.com, Fidelis E Satriastantienergy
campaigner Arif Fiyanto said the police had overreacted. It was
just a meeting on the coal industry in Asia, he said.
We were confused when suddenly the police broke it up and stated
that we didnt have permission to hold a press conference in the
area. Weve held hundreds of press conferences, none of which
required permission from the police.
Arif said the police had charged them with engaging in
activities resulting in public chaos and disorder.
We only invited reporters to the event, which was held at an
outdoor venue, he said. If other people decided to tag along, that
was their decision. We didnt invite them.
Chariya said the incident highlighted a disregard for human
rights. It also aects human rights because were here to see how
each country can support one another in saving the environment, she
said.
I also remember [President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono] urging the
government to join Greenpeace in combating climate change and
energy issues.
Other activists had harsher words. Clearly Indonesia still hasnt
completely shrugged o its authoritarian past, said Judy Pasimio,
executive director of the Legal Rights and Natural Resources
Center, an NGO concerned with indig-enous peoples rights and
natural resources.
This latest episode evokes the time of Suharto when the coercive
power of the state, through the police and the military, were used
to sow terror and choke democratic space. This abusive behavior has
no place in a supposedly democratic country.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Teuku Faisasyah said he was not aware
of the incident, while Cirebon Police did not answer calls on
Wednesday for comment.

Lawmakers have been vocal in calling for the government to
provide free hoses and regulators to replace faulty ones linked to
a series of gas canister explosions, as well as to educate users on
operating the equipment safely.
Bambang Wuryanto, secretary of the Indone-sian Democratic Party
of Struggle (PDI-P) at the House of Representatives, said it would
be unfair for the government to charge people for the replacement
parts when the problem was in a government-initiated project.
He said that if at the beginning of the program, aimed at
phasing out subsidised kerosene in favor of cheaper liqueed
petro-leum gas, the government had embarked on a comprehensive
campaign to educate people on how to use the new gas canisters and
stoves, there would not have been as many explosions and
casualties.
We urge the government to resolve all issues related to use of
the gas stoves without charging citizens a cent, Bambang said.
House Deputy Speaker Tauk Kurniawan, from the National Mandate
Party (PAN), agreed that because the government had initiated the
introduction of LPG, it should be responsible for ensuring the
safety of the program.
The government is obliged to prevent more accidents by replacing
the defective compo-nents, no matter the cost, Tauk said.
State-owned energy company PT Pertamina has already begun
distributing certied hoses and regulators to replace faulty ones.
The hoses will retail for Rp 15,000 ($1.65) each, and the
regulators for Rp 20,000.
Lukman Edy, secretary general of the National Awakening Party
(PKB), said the government should rethink its decision to only
replace the hoses and regulators, saying he had received numerous
complaints about the canisters themselves.
Every life is sacred, so steps must be taken to ensure we dont
lose more, he said.
Bobby Adhityo Rizaldi, from the Golkar Party, said issuing
replacement parts did not address the problem of users lacking
knowl-edge on how to operate the stoves and canisters safely.
I believe the government rst needs to conduct an education
campaign, he said.
Most of the gas canister explosions this year have involved the
3-kilogram canisters the government has been distributing since
2006 under the kerosene-to-LPG conversion program.
Several of the bigger explosions originated at illegal depots
where operators transferred gas from the subsidized 3-kg canisters
into 12-kg canisters, which retail for more per volume.
Meanwhile, National Police Chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri
ordered his ocers to cooperate more closely with Pertamina and the
Energy Ministrys Directorate General of Oil and Gas in
investi-gating the explosions.
The National Polices special crimes director, Brig. Gen. Suhardi
Alius, told reporters: Even though we already have good
cooperation, we want to accelerate that and to work more closely
following the presidents instruction to thoroughly investigate the
gas cylinder explosions.

The government must weed out corruption within the police force
by rst setting up a team to investigate the bloated bank accounts
of six high-ranking ocers named in a recent magazine report, civil
society groups said at a discussion on Wednesday.
Indonesia Corruption Watch investigator Agus Sunaryanto said
such a step was urgently needed before the problem grew and
undermined the entire force.
He said that while the National Police chief had rejected a call
for the formation of such a team, it was encouraging that President
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono had spoken up on the issue.
However, the presidents statement is ambiguous because he doesnt
seem to want to intervene in the legal process, he said, adding the
ICW would continue to press Yudhoyono on the issue.
An investigative team thats independent of the police is the
best hope we have of getting to the bottom of these suspicious
accounts and ensuring that errant ocers get more than just a
telling o, Agus said.
He added that the team could be made up of members of the
Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) and the Financial Transaction Reports
Analysis Center (PPATK), which initially agged the suspect
accounts.
Edwin Partogi, a political, legal and security advocate from the
Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras),
said an investigation into the accounts was urgently needed to
prevent the police force losing all credibility.
A culture of corruption is replacing profes-sionalism and
loyalty within the force, he said. If this continues, the police
will be an institution based on bribery.
Edwin said Indonesia had all the laws in place to tackle the
problem, but neither the capacity nor the political will to do
so.
Poengky Indarti, the executive director of rights watchdog
Imparsial, said the allega-tions of police corruption showed that
sweeping reforms were needed.
The lack of monitoring of the police is the problem, she said.
The government and legislature must immediately shake up the
National Police Commission to ensure it does
Culture of Corruption Threatens To Engulf Police, Observers
Warnsource : thejakartaglobe.com, Nurka Osman its job of monitoring
the force.
She said the 2002 National Police Law and a 2005 presidential
decree on the National Police Commission required supporting
legislation to improve monitoring of the force.
We urge the government to formulate a law for the police
commission, to give it greater powers than the decree currently
gives it, Poengky said.
A Tempo magazine report on the bank accounts is believed to have
precipitated the rebombing of the magazines editorial oce early on
Tuesday, although no injuries were reported and only minimal damage
was caused.
Were not afraid and well continue to work professionally, Tempo
editor in chief Wahyu Muryadi said at Wednesdays discussion. We are
well aware that the attack was a message from those who hate the
press, Tempo or perhaps even the police.
He added that the suspect bank accounts had been agged as far
back as 2005, and warranted further investigation.

DE HOOIIts 7 oclock and the dudes just started up their calls to
go pray. They must be saying
something in some language but I wonder. It really doesnt sound
like anything to me.
Let me see what the internet says about it
Wow, thats actually pretty heavy man. All this time I just
thought it was a bunch of
unintelligible noise blasted from a loud speaker intentionally
meant to annoy and wake
me up in the morning, but once you gure out what youre listening
to its actually pretty
powerful. You know how Americans are though. We dont want
anybody pushing
religion on us.
I cant believe Ive been here over four years and havent bothered
to gure out what I was
listening to 5 times a day. What a dummy.
Its called Adzhan and here it is so next time you can sing
along.
Allah u Akbar, Allah u Akbar (Allah is Great, Allah is
Great)
Ash-hadu al-la Ilaha ill Allah - Ash-hadu al-la Ilaha ill Allah
(I bear witness that there is no divinity but
Allah)
Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullaah. Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan
Rasulullaah. (I bear witness
that Muhammad is Allah's Messenger)
Hayya la-s-saleah - Hayya la-s-saleah (Hasten to the prayer,
Hasten to the prayer)
Hayya la-l-faleah - Hayya la-l-faleah (Hasten to real success,
Hasten to real success,)
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar (Allah is Great, Allah is Great)
La iIlaha ill Allah (There is no divinity but Allah)
The language is Arabic. The prayer in the morning has a line
added that prayer is better
than sleep. I guess youd need convincing considering the rst
prayer is 4:50 in the morn-
ing. At least thats the information I got from the internet. Im
just barely aware whats
going on at that time.
Well, I hope you found that as interesting as I did. Anything
that has to do with God is
pretty trippy. There are some pretty cool sound les and youtube
clips of the Adhen too.
You should check it out.
Speaking of cool sound clips De Hooi is going to start having
live music on Saturdays. A
dierent band every Saturday so youll have to come by and check
it out.
And if you like spicy Mexican youll have to try out my new and
authenticated enchiladas.
Seasoned shredded chicken with sauted onion and bell pepper
wrapped in corn tortillas
covered with spicy enchilada sauce and cheese served with a side
of Mexican rice. I cant
get enough.

Theodore de Bry. CHARAGMA PELVIVM SIVE CYMBALORVM, QVIBVS IAVANI
CAMPANA. $300.
Another type of Javanese musical instrument. From Petits
Voyages, published in 1601 in Latin text. Translation of text:
There is another type of musical instrument played in Java.
Under a shelter, they hang down a descending row of moulded gongs,
each one different in size from the next, so the tones vary in
pitch. There are also smaller versions, that lie on low tables and
are beaten with drumsticks and these are used in peoples houses.
The rhythms are unusual but a joy to listen to. They are played in
the name of the king for ofcial business, such as when we rst
arrived and the king granted us permission to do business with the
Javanese.
Theodore de Bry. QVU RITV BANTANI CON CILIA MILITARIA AGANT.
$300.A rare early 17th century black and white print of a typical
council meeting in the market place at Bantam by the German
engraver and bookseller Theodore de Bry who, in 1598, published
Peregrinationum in Indiam Oriental et Indiam Occidentales, a book
of early 16th century voyages and travels. This print is derived
from the 1601 Latin edition of the Petits Voyages. Very good
overall condition apart from some faint paper discoloration along
the right-hand margin. Measures 250 x 175 mm.
Theodore de Bry. CHOREO SEV TRIPV DIVM IAVANORVM. (left)
$300.
A typical Javanese Dance from Petits Voyages, published in 1601
in Latin text. Translation of text reads:
When the people of Java dance, the men stand on one side and the
woman on the other, just as they do in Madagascar. The way they
dance, however, is quite different. The dancers sway from side to
side, stretching out an arm to one side, then pulling it back and
laying a hand on their breast, with great playfulness. The musical
instrument to which they dance is made from different sized pieces
of sugar cane, bound together like organ pipes and arranged on a
platform. A small piece of metal covers each opening at the top and
the player strikes these with another piece of metal. The sound is
very pleasant and ve times louder than one would expect from such a
small instrument.

PUZZLE OF THE WEEKAt the local play group for babies and
toddlers, I was asking the mothers about the number of teddies each
of their children has. The four children are aged 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Remarkably, the children have one, two, three and four teddies,
although not neces-sarily respectively. Darren has more teddies
that his age. John is older than Matthew. Curiously only one child
has the same number of teddies as their age. Paul has less teddies
than John and the child aged 3 has two teddies. Paul is the
youngest.

of 3x3, that have to be lled up so all rows, columns, and blocks
(3x3) contain numbers 1 to 9 without repeating,
YOU OBVIOUSLY start out with some spaces already lled in. Theres
only one possible solution for each sudoku, so be careful!
