NPR story about Indonesia
All Things Considered, February 25, 2008 · U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates continues his trip through Southeast Asia with a stop in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation. With China stepping up its military planning, Washington is increasingly seeing Indonesia as a strategic ally. Today, 60 percent of the world's energy supplies move through the straits of Malacca, and the United States maintains a vital maritime patrol in the area. SEE ALSO story from The Jakarta Post.

The Blakemore Foundation plans to make 25-30 grants for the advanced study of modern Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian language during the 2007/2008 academic year. These grants are intended for those pursuing professional, academic, or business careers that involve the regular use of an Asian language. The grants fund a year of advanced language study at an institution in Asia. Where there is no structured advanced-level language program at an educational institution in the country, the grant may provide for the financing of private tutorials under the terms set forth in the application instructions. The grants cover tuition and a stipend for related educational expenses, basic living costs and transportation, but do not include dependent expenses. Deadline for applications: Postmarked by December 30, 2006. For application forms and further information see: http://www.blakemorefoundation.org
