...Mobilizing an army of artisans, from comic-strip illustrators to traditional wayang puppet makers, the show "Embedded with Punkasila" both tests the limits of Indonesian free speech and challenges Australian notions that its neighbor is a hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism. With fun and flair, Kesminas shows that much is permissible. "It's the perfect time," he says, "and in all honesty, five years ago you'd probably be put in jail for doing this." The artist nearly was, though not in Indonesia. While lugging back one of his machine-gun guitars from Yogyakarta last year, Kesminas was detained for five...
...Also on board were 45 experiments designed by students from across the United States and the Netherlands. They will be testing such things as the integrity of toothpaste, contact lenses, seeds and popcorn, as well as whether the radiation of space will affect the magnetic strip on a bank-issued gift card. A group of 12- and 13-year-olds from Joseph Haydnschool in Groningen, the Netherlands, want to see if mineral oil and water, liquids that don't mix in earth's atmosphere, will combine in the weightlessness of space. The Dutch teachers planned to be at the launch...

So far, it is not clear why the broadcast journalist was kidnapped. No demands have been forthcoming, only a harrowing and probably false communiqu from a group calling itself the Tawheed and Jihad Brigades, claiming that Johnston had been executed--revenge, it intimated, for the fate of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli...
...from the customer's vantage point, which has made him a why guy since taking over IHG in 2005. He had the company look at not just how IHG operated compared with other hotel groups but also how it compared with other industries. "You have to sort of deconsolidate, strip down all the things we do in hotels and go and ask why. Why do we do that? Why do we play the Girl from Ipanema when no one in the bar is over the age of 40? Why do we have to tow that pianist...
