...first of his seven Formula One titles in 1994, Germany's domestic karting championship took off, says Vincent Caro, executive secretary of the International Karting Commission, which is part of the FIA, world motor sport's governing body. Successive world championships for Alonso have inspired a karting boom in Spain, Caro says, and now traffic is building on the U.K.'s kart tracks too. Hamilton's record-breaking season - he's won three of the 14 races so far, becoming the youngest-ever driver to lead the world championship - has left circuits reporting a "surge in demand," says Graham Smith...

Imagine truncating the Harvard semester after five weeks during the first two months of freshman year. These accelerated and often isolated programs bring a Harvard mentality to a radically different place. We cannot bring Harvard to Bombay, Barcelona or Buenos Aires...
...fact that's been lost in the last couple of months, that a little girl is missing and that her parents are desperate that she be found," says a spokesman for the McCann family about the campaign that's due to start in two weeks and will run in Spain, Portugal and "other European countries." The details are still being ironed out, but it's likely the new initiative will be similar to the one that has been running in England, where billboards show photos of Madeleine - and the distinctive mark in her right eye - alongside a number people...
