...Renault success at McLaren? Can Kimi Räikkönen ably replace the retired Michael Schumacher for Ferrari? Better still, says Kevin Alavy of research consultancy Initiative Sports Futures, "It's easier to get tickets at Sepang than at many other circuits." One reason: the lack of a homegrown Michael Schumacher means that interest among Malaysians hasn't reached top gear. Three-day passes are still available from $200.

"If we don't promote a smiling Islam, then we will be seen overseas as a hotbed of radicalism and terrorism," says Syafi'i Anwar...
...elements are few and far between and the band’s alternative songwriting equation seems to have stagnated after the mainstream success of “Goodbye, Astoria.” For a band that’s more like a temp-agency for rock musicians than a homegrown mainstay, it’s hard to expect a fully developed senior album. But, The Ataris could have done more with “Welcome the Night,” and if not revive their pop-punk roots, at least do justice to their alternative makeover. “Welcome...
