Former National Police detective chief Comr. Gen. Susno Duadji was granted on Wednesday the Whistle Blower Award from the Community of Anti-Bribery Employers in Jakarta.
“This award marks a start to a journey toward a clean Indonesia,” Susno, who revealed case brokering practices within the police force last month, was quoted by tempointeraktif.com after receiving the award.
According to event’s coordinator Mahdizar, Susno topped the list of candidates for the award with 165 votes from participants of the community's seminar and a Facebook-generated polling.
Susno beat among others National Mandate Party founder Amien Rais, former Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle politician Agus Condro Prayitno and Constitutional Court chief Moh. Mahfud MD.
Mahdizar said the award presentation would be held every two months in order to encourage more people to dare to unveil corruption cases.

Police claim to have strong grounds to detain Misbakhun
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Tue, 04/27/2010 1:06 PM | Headlines
The National Police defends the arrest of House of Representatives lawmaker Muhammad Misbakhun of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), saying he is facing document forgery charges, which carry eight years in maximum jail sentence according to the Criminal Code.
Spokesman for the National Police, Insp. Gen. Edward Aritonang, said Tuesday the lawmaker was detained to facilitate an investigation into his case.
“The investigators cannot help detaining him, otherwise they will find difficulties in collecting evidence. The maximum jail sentence he faces allows the investigators to detain him,” Edward said as quoted by kompas.com.
Misbakhun was arrested on Monday night after a questioning as a suspect in connection with his alleged fictitious letter of credit in Bank Century worth US$ 22.5 million. The politician was one of nine lawmakers who sponsored a House inquiry into the government policy to bail out Bank Century in November 2008 which the legislative body later declared a flaw.

Jupe, Calon Bupati Yang Kontroversial
detikForum - detikhot
Jakarta Pencalonanan Julia Perez sebagai calon bupati Pacitan mengundang banyak kontroversi. Untuk meredam itu semua, artis yang akrab disapa Jupe ini melakukan safari ke daerah pemilihannya, Pacitan.
Dalam kunjungannya ke Pacitan, Jupe yang kerapkali tampil seksi dalam setiap penampilannya mengenakan kerudung saat bertamu ke sebuah pesantren. Taktik ini biasa dilakukan para pejabat menjelang pemilihan baik pilkada mau pun disaat pemilu.
Selain itu, bintang film 'Hantu Jamu Gendong' ini juga mengunjungi Stadion Citra Mandiri, Kikil, Pacitan. Kedatangannya ke sana untuk membuka pertandingan bola antar klub lokal. Perempuan yang memiliki sekolah sepakbola itu menyempatkan diri berfoto dengan kedua tim lokal.
Layaknya pejabat dalam kunjungannya, Jupe menjanjikan kepada warga Pacitan untuk menjadikan kota kelahiran Presiden SBY tersebut seperti Monako. Jupe tidak pesimis dengan niatnya itu. Ia pun ingin sekali membuat Pacitan terkenal di dunia.
Namun langkah Jupe bukan tanpa hambatan. Sebagian kalangan menilai bahwa artis sepanas Jupe tidak layak menjadi wakil bupati, tetapi tidak sedikit pula yang menyatakan bahwa Jupe, sebagai warganegara, juga punyai hak yang sama untuk dipilih.
Sebelumnya, Mendagri Gamawan Fauzi mengatakan pemerintah akan memasukkan syarat tambahan bagi para calon kepala daerah dalam pilkada, yakni wajib mempunyai pengalaman berorganisasi dan tidak boleh cacat moral. Cacat moral yang dimaksud Gamawan salah satunya adalah tidak pernah berbuat mesum atau berzina. Namun Gamawan membantah aturan ini untuk menjegal Jupe maupun Maria Eva dalam Pilkada Pacitan dan Sidoarjo.
Anjing menggonggong kafilah tetap berlalu, mungkin begitu prinsip Jupe untuk terus maju menjadi calon wakil bupati Pacitan. Bagaimana peluang Jupe untuk menjadi wakil Bupati? Simak dan diskusikan terus di detikForum!

What Are The Seven News Values?
Taken from: http://www.uncp.edu/home/acurtis/Courses/ResourcesForCourses/NewsValues.html
We often speak of seven news values held by news media gatekeepers – impact, timeliness, prominence, proximity, bizarreness, conflict, and currency.
Impact: The number of people whose lives will be influenced in some way by the subject of the story. For instance, a bakery strike may have less impact than a postal strike.
Timeliness: Recent events have higher news value than earlier happenings. Of particular value are stories brought to the public ahead of the competition. These are known as scoops.
Prominence: For the same occurrence, people in the public eye have higher news value than obscure people. For example, we cared that Magic Johnson had AIDS, while an ordinary citizen with AIDS would not have commanded the attention of the national news media.
Proximity: Stories about events and situations in one's home community are more newsworthy than events that take place far away. For example, journalists assess the value of a news item reporting tragic deaths by comparing the number of deaths with the distance from the home community. For instance:
if 1,000 persons drown in a flood in a faraway country, the story has about the same news value as a story describing how 100 persons drowned in a distant part of the United States.
• In turn, that 100 person story has about the same news value as a story concerning 10 flood victims within our own state.
• Finally, a story about those ten victims has about the same value as a story describing a flood which drowns one person in our local community.
Bizarreness: A classic example of this is dog-bites-man vs. man-bites-dog. Man-bites-dog is more bizarre. Dog-bites-man usually is not news.
Conflict: Strife is newsworthy.
Currency: More value is attributed to stories pertaining to issues or topics that are in the spotlight of public concern rather than to issues or topics about which people care less. Stories come and stories go. For example:
At the beginning of the 1990s, there were stories about the First Gulf War, the Savings and Loan Crisis, and Senate confirmation hearings on Clarence Thomas for the Supreme Court.
As time passed, those stories became less interesting and were replaced by the Los Angeles Riots, the Miami hurricane, the new World Wide Web, a comet colliding with Jupiter, and the presidential elections.
In turn, those stories were replaced by Somalia, Bosnia, O.J., Haiti.
In 1997, the death of Princess Diana, the Hong Kong handover, Pathfinder on Mars, cloning, McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing, and Big Tobacco money.
In 1999, JFK Jr. died in a plane crash, the Clinton impeachment trial, Microsoft monopoly, war over Kosovo, Columbine school shooting, and The Millennium, followed In the 2000s by 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
In 2004, the stream of earlier stories were replaced by the President's vision of travel to Mars, same-sex marriage, the hanging of American contractors in Iraq, evidence of water on Mars, the Madrid train attack, the Iraq prison abuse scandal, the 9/11 Commission findings, hurricane Charley, the Olympics in Greece, hurricane Frances, high gas prices, hurricane Ivan, Fallujah, hurricane Jeanne, the presidential debates.
And so on...

The Culture Concept
The Culture Concept
A Brief History of the Culture Concept.
________________________________________
Anthropology began as a specialized discipline in the 19th century within a theoretical school called evolutionism. This approach was related to the dominant Darwinist and, more importantly, social Darwinist paradigms of the period. Evolutionists proposed a developmental framework for recording and interpreting cultural variations around the world and understanding them in relation to contemporary Victorian standards. Culture was reduced to separable traits, which were collected by travellers, traders, and missionaries and collated by "armchair anthropologists" in much the same way as natural specimens and fossils. Grand catalogues of these items were used to chart the stages of the human cultural development under an assumption that some traits were representative of earlier or more "primitive" historical periods. This view ultimately rested on a racial theory that these progressively arranged cultural differences were attributable to unequal genetic propensities and endowments among peoples.
The theses of early anthropology are evident in Edward Tylor's 1871 work, Primitive Culture, which includes the first formal definition of culture:
Culture or Civilization, .... is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.
The telling point of this definition is that, although labelled a whole, culture is actually treated as a list of elements. In effect, culture traits were understood as representing one of a series of stages of mental and moral progress culminating in the rational society of industrializing England.
Although most of these prejudices about non-Western peoples are still with us, anthropologists have thoroughly repudiated the 19th century approach as an expression of racialism and ethnocentrism, the practice of interpreting and judging other cultures by the values of one's own. Franz Boas, an early 20th century anthropologist, was instrumental in this reversal of perspective and laid out the ground rules for the modern anthropological orientation of cultural relativism. This approach rests on four major postulates, which directly confront the evolutionist position.
1. Cultural aspects of human behaviour are not biologically based or conditioned but are acquired solely through learning.
2. Cultural conditioning of behaviour is ultimately accomplished through habituation and thus acts through unconscious processes rather than rational deliberation, although secondary rationalizations are often offered to explain cultural values.
3. All cultures are equally developed according to their own priorities and values; none is better, more advanced, or less primitive than any other.
4. Cultural traits cannot be classified or interpreted according to universal categories appropriate to "human nature". They assume meaning only within the context of coherently interrelated elements internal to the particular culture under consideration.
