Top in the news - Spirited protests are underway by unlicensed taxi drivers in Bali. Read our Editorial examining the many sides to those protests and whom we think really is to blame for the current brouhaha.

In aviation news, Mandala has managed to find two new partners, as it once again prepares to take to the skies.
Read how the agricultural sector, now ranked as the #1 source of employment in Bali, will soon move to the #2 slot after tourism sometime in this year.
In development news, there's a crackdown underway against overloaded goods trucks; we examine why efforts to sort organic from non-organic garbage in Bali just isn't working; why the socialization of condom use is urgently needed to stop the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS; and how the Bali Safari and Marine Park is instilling an environmental awareness on its visitors.
Hotel news looks at the interplay of foreign currency values on Bali's tourism industry; announces new appointments at the Four Seasons Resorts Bali; and shares how the Bali Hotels Association is training hotel workers to fight terrorism through surveillance detection.
