...security officials and NGOs review safety regulations, the responsible response of many foreigners may be that the very venues that give Kabul its soul are off limits. Their freedom to roam the streets of Kabul, meet friends - both Afghan and foreign - at a restaurant or caf?, is likely to end. Already, the Australian embassy, which had been based at the Serena, has decided to move to a secure, isolated compound. This doesn't just limit fun for the foreigners; it walls off the understanding and communication that comes with spontaneous interaction. More barricades may bring the Westerners safety...
...Indonesia." Still, as Bakken walks through the waves of waste, he gestures to the half-built beginnings of the project: eleven concrete cells that will each contain up to 12,000 cubic meters (15,695 cubic yards) of organic waste. (The landfill will employ the scavengers who now roam the garbage heaps to pick out inorganic waste, which doesn't produce biogas.) Once waste is packed inside the airtight cells, anaerobic digestion by bacteria will generate gases that will be pumped to a biogas engine, then burned to produce steam to generate electricity. GE provided the engine at below-market...

In recent weeks, critics have laughed off Bhutto's halfhearted opposition to Musharraf, pointing out that while other leaders and lawyers languished behind bars, she was able to roam free, host diplomatic receptions and broadcast her press conferences on state-run TV. But when Bhutto called for protest rallies and a march from Lahore to the capital, Islamabad, she too was placed under house arrest. The final straw, she says, was when Musharraf's forces rounded up thousands...

She claimed that open stacks were the key to a fulfilling college experience...
