Family Of Newtown Victim Talks Gun Control Politics, MisrepresentationsMonday, September 30, 2013
BETHLEHEM (AP) — The Paradis and D'Avino family knows guns. They've owned them and enjoyed hunting and target shooting. Shooting was just part of life, like the time after Thanksgiving dinner in 2009 when a guest of husband and wife Peter Paradis and Mary D'Avino brought out an AR-15 rifle he had in the car.
Together, with their children, the couple spent time shooting at a tree in their backyard on five acres off heavily wooded Route 61.

Within 24 hours, police say, a second park, this one just built to honor one of the children killed on 12/14, was also vandalized.
Nassau County Police say the damage to Kathy Mazza Memorial Park, in South Farmingdale, L.I., was discovered by officers during a routine patrol on Saturday, September 28.
Prolonged Federal Shutdown Could Damage Connecticut's Fragile RecoveryMonday, September 30, 2013
As the federal government stood at the brink of a shutdown, state and business leaders were most wary Monday of a prolonged stoppage.
Though many of the 9,000 federal employees residing in Connecticut could be furloughed shortly after the new fiscal year begins Tuesday, a potential lag in billions in federal dollars earmarked for the Nutmeg State poses the biggest threat to state government.

Woman Seeks Probation In 12/14 Internet Fraud CaseSaturday, September 28, 2013
HARTFORD (AP) — Scheduled to be sentenced October 15, the New York City woman who posed as the aunt of a child killed on 12/14 is seeking probation, arguing she's already been punished by the media.
Nouel Alba, 37, of the Bronx pleaded guilty in June on federal charges of wire fraud and making false statements.

For full proposals submitted via Grants.gov: NSF Grants.gov Application Guide; A Guide for the Preparation and Submission of NSF Applications via Grants.gov Guidelines apply (Note: The NSF Grants.gov Application Guide is available on the Grants.gov website and on the NSF website at: http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=grantsgovguide)
Important Notice to Proposers
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG), NSF 13-1, was issued on October 4, 2012 and is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 14, 2013. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 13-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
Please be aware that significant changes have been made to the PAPPG to implement revised merit review criteria based on the National Science Board (NSB) report, National Science Foundation's Merit Review Criteria: Review and Revisions. While the two merit review criteria remain unchanged (Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts), guidance has been provided to clarify and improve the function of the criteria. Changes will affect the project summary and project description sections of proposals. Annual and final reports also will be affected.
A by-chapter summary of this and other significant changes is provided at the beginning of both the Grant Proposal Guide and the Award & Administration Guide.
Full Proposal Window: September 1, 2013 - September 30, 2013
CAT Submission Window
The Chemical Catalysis Program supports experimental and theoretical research directed towards the fundamental understanding of the chemistry of catalytic processes at the molecular level. The Program accepts proposals on catalytic approaches, which facilitate, direct, and accelerate efficient chemical transformations. This includes the design and synthesis of catalytic species on the molecular, supramolecular, and nanometer scales as well as studies of the dynamics of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic processes. Processes of interest include (but are not limited to): polymerization catalysis, single site catalysis, and biologically-inspired catalysis. Applications of modeling, theory, and simulation to catalytic processes are also relevant. Fundamental studies of energy-related catalytic processes, CO2 conversion, electrocatalysis (such as in water splitting and fuel cells), and photocatalysis (such as in solar energy conversion) are welcome in the program.
Submissions that address national needs for sustainability are particularly encouraged. Examples of sustainable chemistry appropriate for the Chemical Catalysis Program include: 1) the design, preparation and reactivity studies associated with new catalysts and catalytic processes that will replace rare, expensive and/or toxic compounds or nanomaterials with earth abundant, inexpensive and benign alternatives; 2) new chemistries to economically recycle chemicals that cannot be replaced, such as phosphorus and the rare earth elements; 3) new chemistries to convert non-petroleum based sources of organics to feedstock chemicals; and 4) new environmentally-friendly chemical reactions and processes that require less energy, fresh water, and/or organic solvents than current practice.
Investigators are urged to read more about NSF efforts in encouraging sustainable synthesis, and the use and reuse of chemicals and materials in the Dear Colleague Letter on SusChEM: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2012/nsf12097/nsf12097.jsp?WT.mc_id=USNSF_25&WT.mc_ev=click."
The Program does not support applied catalysis research that focuses on scale-up, processing, transport dynamics, long-term stability and other engineering aspects of catalysis. The Program also does not support biocatalysis research with purely biological enzymes and cellular systems. Catalytic research whose immediate objectives are the synthesis of complex natural products using established catalysts should be submitted to the Chemical Synthesis program.

New English Village gem lands jewelry showroom
Jewelry designer Theresa Bruno is opening a showroom in a newly developed building in Mountain Brook's English Village, according to a release.
Birmingham-based Bruno, who designs nationally acclaimed pieces for Jordan Alexander Jewelry, signed a long-term lease with landlord Kahn Properties Inc. for a 1,772-square-foot space in suite 101 of a new building on the site of former Briarcliff Shop at 2003 Cahaba Road, a representative for Bruno said. The showroom will be open Monday through Saturday beginning May 9.
Gayle Kahn, owner of Kahn Properties and the deal's broker, said the showroom fills the last two of the building's three retail spaces, the other being occupied by a Sherwin-Williams decorator. A second-floor office space is still available.

'So Much In This World We Can Learn': PBS Remixes Mr. Rogers Again
By Linda Holmes
PBS has been remixing some of its most famous folks over the last year, and to mark the first anniversary of its "Garden Of Your Mind" remix with Fred Rogers, it's remixed him again, with this charming second chapter. It shows off not only the fact that he was sensitive and kind to kids, but also the fact that he was fun and musical and whimsical, which sometimes gets forgotten under the weight of how warmly people remember him.
Here's the first one, if you've forgotten it.

Such a lovely place to visit. Simply enjoyed the variety of wines. Evan was a delight, he really knew what he was talking about. The locale itself was warm.
If not from the area a little off the path. The layout is very nice and the wines are their own flavor. I really enjoyed the tasting. The staff was very friendly I went right when they opened but could see the place being packed. The ones are a great medium body. Didn't try the good.
The server was personable and wines decent. Purchased a Chardonnay and a red blend. This is a good addition to a day of wine touring.
After visiting dozens of Virginia wineries this summer we are very impressed with Lost Creek. The reds are simply amazing. The new owners are very polite and know a thing or two about hosting guest. They have a wonderful staff who are very personable and trained. Lost Creek is one of the best we have discovered on our Virginia winery...
This is the perfect place to spend an autumn afternoon. Offering samples of both red and white wines, there is seating outdoors as well as inside. Calendar of special events can be found on their website.
We stopped in and were very happy we did. The wines are nice and atmosphere is tranquil. Made for a great stop along the wine trail. The gal staffing the bar for tastings when we were there was awesome. Very personable, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to!!
very good wine and location. solid all around. nice location and nice atmosphere. i will return to this place again.
We decided to check out this location as a possible wedding venue. We were skeptical at first because of reviews we read about horrible tasting wines. This was the first stop so my palate would be freshest. What a pleasant surprise! The wines were good not bad. I think this place has been under new management for over a year....
I visited Lost Creek and Hidden Brook (within a short walking distance) seven years ago and liked the atmosphere, but didn't care for the wine; however, now under new management, the wine is much improved. Chardonnay is my least favorite wine, but Lost Creek's Chardonnay is one I love! Light, crisp, smooth and steel barrel aged, which makes it gluten...
I remember going to this winery several years ago and disliked it. At the time, both this winery and the winery next door (Hiddenbrook) had super sweet wines--it reminded me of the wines you would find in the fingerlakes. Needless to say I didn't go back until a friend who's wine opinion I trust said they took on a new...

Apr 27, 2013, 7:45 AM EDT
Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner believes that his team are in the middle of a four-way fight for both titles this season.
The British team currently leads the constructors' championship ahead of Lotus and Ferrari, and Sebastian Vettel tops the drivers' standings by 10 points. Despite this good start to the season, Horner is sure that Red Bull will face a stiff challenge as they look to retain both titles.
"Ferrari is strong, Lotus has a good car, and the Mercedes certainly over a single lap is very strong," Horner told Autosport.
"But having won two of the four races plus a second place, it has been a strong start to the campaign for us."
The beginning of the season has been very close indeed, with three drivers winning in the opening four races, and Horner only expects it to get even closer as Formula One returns to Europe in two weeks' time.
"It's close, it's tight and I'm sure it's going to move around from circuit to circuit as we head back to Europe."
Horner did however write off the challenge of McLaren, who has endured its worst start to a Formula One season in over a decade.
"The rest are a step behind," he said.
In recent years, Red Bull has improved over the course of the season, and its start to the 2013 championship could put them in good stead to seal a fourth consecutive drivers and constructors double.

Canadian actors have pulled 'a Helen Mirren' too
Christopher Plummer, Donald Sutherland, Brian Bedford have all faced down graceless patrons.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Dame Helen Mirren recently took matters into her own hands, lambasting a group of drummers who were performing too loudly while she was on stage. She confronted them in the street while dressed in costume dressed in costume as Queen Elizabeth II.
Disruptions during performances are nothing new. After dropping the f-bomb on them on Saturday, Mirren on Monday joined the drum group in the street, wearing a T-shirt supporting their music. She did say, however, that if they drummed again while she was on stage in The Audience that she would yell at them again.
On this side of the pond, Canadian performers and audiences are, by and large, a polite bunch. But the Star did unearth some amusing examples of ad-libbed behaviour on this side of the Atlantic.
Oscar-winner and stage veteran Christopher Plummer is not a man to suffer fools gladly, or to waste his words. Ann Swerdfager, publicity director at the Stratford Festival, recalls her father telling her how during a performance of Plummer's famed Hamlet in 1957, the actor noticed two women in the first row who were paying more attention to the scripts in their laps than to him.
He bided his time until the final scene, when he had a rapier in his hand. At the appropriate moment, he walked downstage, stuck his blade into the audience and flipped both the scripts shut with a single flick of the wrist.
A more pleasant moment of actor-audience interaction occurred at Stratford in 1972, on the occasion of the famed final Canada-Russia hockey game. William Hutt was playing a matinee of King Lear that day and, as he told the Star in a 2005 interview, "I knew everyone would rather be elsewhere."
But just before the difficult storm episode on the heath, Hutt heard in the wings that Paul Henderson had scored the decisive goal, winning the game for Canada. He decided that timing was everything, so he played the dramatic scene for all it was worth, then turned to the audience at the end and simply said, "Canada 6, Russia 5."
"It generated the largest applause I have ever heard in a theatre," said Hutt, a bit wistfully.
Cellphone usage during performances has provoked the greatest number of incidents of actor/audience tension in the global theatre community and Canada certainly hasn't been spared.
John Karastamatis, director of communications for Mirvish Productions, recalls two such prominent incidents.
"Back in 2000, we were presenting Enigma Variations, a quiet and intense play, at the Royal Alexandra Theatre that required great concentration on the parts of both the actors and the audience. But at one performance, a phone kept ringing. It happened not once, not twice, but three separate times. Finally, Donald Sutherland stepped out of character and said, 'For God's sake, please answer that!' The audience applauded Mr. Sutherland; the owner did as told and left the theatre."
A second incident happened in 2005, during the Mirvish production of 700 Sundays, which starred Billy Crystal, a performer known to be particularly virulent about cellphone use. Despite numerous announcements and warnings, one phone started ringing and didn't stop.
Karastamatis recalls how Crystal let it keep ringing, hoping it would finally stop, but the performer finally snapped.
"Put that phone on vibrate," he shouted out, "and then shove it up your ass."
Student performances are a particular source of annoyance. Tenny Nigoghossian, then working at Stratford in development, recalls a 1990 Macbeth show that found Brian Bedford at his wit's end as young patrons kept rolling loose change down the aisles.
"Right in the middle of a soliloquy, Brian stopped and said, 'This disruption is insufferable. If it doesn't stop immediately, the performance will end here and everyone will suffer.' He waited a second and picked up from the very word he'd left on. There was not one more single sound. In fact, people were afraid to move or leave their seats at intermission. A complete hush had fallen on the theatre."
But perhaps the most dramatic way of dealing with an unruly student was demonstrated by the late John Neville, playing the title role in Othello at Neptune Theatre in Halifax in 1978.
At one unruly student matinee I witnessed, there was a ringleader of the group who kept shouting rude statements throughout the show.
Neville, known for his volcanic temper, kept himself in check until the play's final scene. Then, after he had strangled Desdemona, he leapt from the stage, grabbed the offending heckler and turned his head toward Desdemona's corpse on the stage.
"Do you see her?" hissed Neville. "You're next."
Dame Helen Mirren, please note.

The Cultural Revolution was a disaster showing how dangerous a personality cult can become. Fortunately, the Chinese people learned a precious lesson from this episode. What is mind-boggling, however, is that the Western media (esp. TE) tries to sell another incarnation of personality worship (of the Almighty Lama) down the Chinese people's throat. Sorry the Chinese people have developed a collective immunity to this ridiculousness already.
The CCP has ruled China for 62 years but at least new leaders replace old leaders. The Almighty Lama was there for 75 years, and seems does not have a clue of the profound changes happening in the world. Yet the TE's blind worship and faith in him translates into article after article full of incredulous praises. Geez, I guess not even the British Monarch has this regal treatment!
The new Panchen Lama looks like a lovable chap. Hopefully he and the Karmapa Lama will at least bring some fresh air onto the grand drama of almighty Lamas.
Economist often provides biased commentary news (not facts). For example, how did you conclude that "But a recent attempt to introduce him to monastic life suggests that Tibetan resistance to China's choice is still strong. Loyalty to the young man is brittle"?
A documentary movie shot by BBC showed that hundreds of Tibetans rushed to worship Panchen Lama when he arrived in a Tibetan town. See:
The funny thing is that to cover the widespread lies on Western media, BBC said that all Tibetans know the controversy regarding the choice of Panchen Lama, but as good Buddhists, they just wanted to show some proper respects to the "fake" Panchen Lama chosen by the Chinese Communist Party. What a joke! So good Christians will show their respects to a fake pope?
That is too disgusting. My advice to Western media: never spread lies, otherwise you will need to use more than 100 lies to cover the first lie you say.
There are 6 million Tibetans living in China. Do you think you or any Western country can represent them? Facts speak all.
If Tibetans in China were so disgruntled, Tibet would have already become an Iraq or Afghanistan of China - given that Western countries are hostile to China and are ready to donate money to terrorists who want to attack China.
If Iraq or Afghanistan were as peaceful as Tibet, Western countries would have already declared victory long ago.
I have some friends,Tibetans,and lived in Lhasa for half an year,it is not worth being afraid of somethings,often the news about Tibet in west medias are very very exaggerated.In fact,the relation between average Han and average Tibetan is not too bad,in many places,even can say it is very good,help each other usually. I think the reasons that One dues to Tibetan and Han have a common ancestor,Qiang,as a minority still live in SiChuang province, Tibetan is West Qiang,Han is East Qiang.so there are some national affinity.Other dues to religion,Lamaism,most Tebetan are peaceful and friendly for Han and other minorities in China,instead also is ture.A good example,in Wenchuan Earthquake,you can find the real relation between Han and Tibetan,help each other in fact.
I know some Tibetan,especially living abroad want the independence,but for most Tibetan it does not matter,independence or not.Certainly many Tibetan also against independence,one for some history factor,in fact,many Han are Tibetan,many Tibetan are also Han,for example,Dalai Lama is real Han,but now he looks himself on as a Tibetan.The other is for economic reasons,many Tibetan want more economic interests as a minority rather than independence.
In my opion,the possibility of Tibet independence is less than Scotland's Independence as a new country from Britain.When Dalai Lama say that let us tibet independence, how many Tibetan will respond? If 10% of Tibetan respond,Tibet has already become another Iraq or Afghanistan just as that some commentators have said.I think Dalai also know sometings are very differnt with Indian Kashmir or Iraq's Kurds, between Han and Tibetan is lack of ethnic and religious conflicts and in east-asia,few people will fight each other for religious factors,a very different civilization environment, so he will have to say for Protecting the unique Tibetan culture or put it mildly only want more right of autonomy,but center goverment also want to do and already invest a lot of money to do it,at least for developing tourist industry.so-called autonomy is other name of independence.
Chinese people have to understand that Tibetan people and the culture are distintly different from the Han Chinese.
Tibetans have adapted to high altitude living and the Chinese people inhabit the low-land.
The culture, language, customs, history, food, clothing, attitudes are completely different.
Tibetans don't have any influence from the master Confucius and Lao Tzu which guide the Chinese people.
Japanese and Koreans to Chinese are closer to Tibetans to Chinese. Absolutely they were a lot of intereactions due to being neighbours and historically it's been positive experience where some Chinese emperors and royalty even adopted and converted to Tibetan spirituality and they was a lot of trust and respect but not with the current communist rulers. It's been all downhill once the CCP became new rulers of China.
Once they realize the distinctiveness then ther is better understanding of why Tibetans want to retain their identity and it's not just money that Tibetans are attracted to or their priorities are. Right now large majority of the Chinese knowledge on Tibet and its people have been shaped by CCP created propaganda.
Dalai Lama's Tibet in history and up until his escape to India has been theocratic. The unique Tibetan culture people are touting are just an oppressive theocratic place that makes its people cannot escape in the material world or the spiritual world.
The whole point of reincarnation is for a man to become a Buddha through the cycle of life and death until he/she jump out of the cycle not the reverse.
The temperance of Dalai Lama over its 14 reincarnations differ greatly. Like how a few of the Dalai's were assassinate due to not leading Tibet, and how a few militaristic Dalai enlarged its territories through military conquest and force other branches of Tibetan Buddhism to bow to the Yellow Branch.
Nothing theocratic can be good for any human beings.
Long live the Dalai Lama. The attitude of the Chinese Communist Party is a shame to the entire Chinese nation!
On your commentary on the Cultural Revolution, the father's of this particular Revolution were the main people behind the invasion of Tibet (or "liberation" as you would have it). New leaders in the CCP do replace old ones, but given that the Dalai Lama was chased out by Chinese soldiers he didn't really have a chance to change Tibet. He's definitely aware of the changes going on in the world, and throughout his reign, has probably met more foreign leaders, past and present, than Hu Jintao.
"Dalai Lama's Tibet in history and up until his escape to India has been theocratic. The unique Tibetan culture people are touting are just an oppressive theocratic place that makes its people cannot escape in the material world or the spiritual world."
Back in the early fifties, most countries in the world were theocratic, including the one that invaded Tibet. South Korea, Spain, many Latin American nations, Taiwan, eastern Europe, and many other regions of the world were all ruled by dictators/pseudo-dictators. Tibet would have changed with time just as all these countries had and China's invasion had nothing to do with its development.
China's justification about "liberating" Tibet for the sake of development and preventing sustained theocracy are totally ridiculous because, for one, the regime which carried out this very invasion was by far more authoritarian and brutal than what Tibet was back then. China only started touting this "development and freedom" reason a long time after opening up its economy in the late seventies.
"If Tibetans in China were so disgruntled, Tibet would have already become an Iraq or Afghanistan of China"
No. Tibetans are far more peaceful than the tribesmen of Afghanistan will ever be, and they are comparatively more peaceful than the Iraqis who kill each other because of sectarian differences.
Even if Tibetans were disgruntled enough to make an uprising, the response from the current Chinese Administration would be much more brutal and authoritarian than if it were to happen in NATO-occupied Afghanistan.
Your premise about Chinese soldiers not being able to survive the climate of the Tibetan plateau is ridiculous. Any military force with well supplied winter gear can survive cold climates. Most of the Chinese soldiers back in the fifties didn't have such clothes.
It's never helpful to use and compare unrelated injustices done by another civilization to justify one's own. Even if many injustices were committed by the Europeans against the Native Americans, that does not give the right to the Chinese to commit the same injustices against Tibetans.
Most countries recognize Tibet as a part of China not because it is morally right, but because not doing so would adversely affect their countries' economical potential, owing to the restrictions China might impose on trade with them. It's the same with Taiwan.
China's claims to the South China Sea are similarly ridiculous. By completely flouting the UNCLOS, the CCP has made enemies of its offshore neighbors, who will naturally protect their territorial waters, which is rightfully theirs by UN law.
Tibetans will never accept the PRC CCP appointed Tibetan religious leaders. It hasn't worked and never will.
The PRC will need Dalai Lama's help for Tibetans to accept Chinese rule over Tibet. The sooner their realize, the sooner they may be mutually acceptable resolution.

The Chinese people may have a grudge against the CCP for its unfair treatment. However, I had never talked to any grass-root Chinese who is in support of Tibet independence. However, I am in support of the Tibetan in exile travel to Tawang in South Tibet (Arunachal Pradesh) to set up its homeland there.
Not that it's important to the Chinese people including Xi Zanger (Tibteans), it doesn't, but it should ring bells to others who are harboring different ideas about Xi Zang that "the US recognizes that Tibet (Xi Zang) is an inseparable part of China", as reaffirms by the US Vice President Biden on his current visit to China, shortly following the unofficial receiving of Dalia Lama as a religious leader by President Obama.
But regardless, in terms of trying to install ridiculously a little theocracy regime inside China is not only impossible in all realms of reality, but also runs afoul to the very concept of human decency and clear consciousness of modern man.
Even in the dawning era of human right and religious freedom, world's then premium power the UK, and being a monarch too, did not allow any "little" Vatican Holy See in its country and went on to establish its own "national" or royal religion instead. The US did not establish diplomatic ties with Vatican until in late 1970s and well after Vatican City was long gone as a theocracy but had become a "pure" administration site for Catholic faith.
How then in the world could anybody of nominal wits or above expect to see a tiny and backward theocracy based on rule of serfdom and a not so popular variant of mainstream Buddhism to rise in any place on the globe?
India has been betraying its friendship with China, and hurting the feeling of a lot of Xi Zangers and the rest of Chinese as well, by facilitating the set up of "exiles" or "turn coat" theocracy of DL in India since 1959, and the Chinese have been tolerating this hostile act for more than 50 years because India has had long officially recognized Xi Zang (Tibet) being a part of China till now on the other hand.
If India was so good hearted in helping Tibetan religion away from China, India should at least officially announce so, and be my guest to help "Tibet's government-in-exile" to declare independence of Dharamsala in the Himalayan foothills from India, and to hold court with full international state-to-state protocol and pompom to entertain and celebratign its new prime minister, Lobsang Sangay.
There is nothing for India to fear for by doing so, India already has Bhutan, Sikkim and Kashmir in similar arrangement, didn't it?
And my joking not aside, India might just be able to qualify for a Nobel Peace prize for helping Dalia Lama all the way this way, thus further enhancing its popularity with some old face Hollywood stars and its covetous chance for a permanent seat at UNSC.

In democratic India, will you be able to travel anywhere including North Eastern Frontier (Arunachal Pradesh or South Tibet)? Will you be able to set up your home land in South Tibet? People in South Tibet are same people in Tibet in large. All the Tibetan in Exile should relocate to Arunachal Pradesh. Good luck!
If you care about Tibet issue, why not read the following:
Sexuality, Magic and Politics in Tibetan Buddhism
While western politician treated Dalai Lama and Lamanese as living God and Western media picture old Tibet and lamanese as "shangri-la", do spend some time to fully understand Tibetan History and their religion. No harm get a full picture.
Tibetans can easily adapt to high-altitude, cold and low-air-density environment while most of the ethnic Han Chinese soldiers cannot. If you know historical facts, you will know that many Han Chinese soldiers sent to Tibet in 1951 died of high-altitude reactions. In short, China CANNOT SEND MANY ETHNIC HAN SODIERS to Tibet. To rule Tibet, Beijing must make sure that more than 90% of Tibetans are happy with the Chinese Communist Party. Otherwise, if just 10% upset Tibetans had gone uprising, Beijing would have had no enough troops to put down the riot.
That is to say, if Beijing can send 10+ soldiers for every insurgent, then the number of insurgents must be very low. And that was what had happened in China - no so many Tibetans attended insurgences in the past 20 years. In the biggest riot in 2008, only 200 Tibetans attended the riot. Most of them are not Tibetans living in Lhasa, but transported from nearby small & poor villages to Lhasa. And many of them are from India. All these facts show that most of Tibetans living in China are happy with the Chinese Communist Party. Otherwise, the number of Tibetan rioters would have not been low and China would have not easily controlled all small-scale riots.
It is difficult to decide if this situation is extremely funny or extremely pathetic...
On one side we have a 'divine' figure, the 'holy' Dalai Lama who gets magically reincarnated forever as the perpetual leader of Tibet.
On the other side we have the atheistic Communist Party of China which (in addition to its incredible capabilities) has discovered a new-found ability to locate the next generation of Lamas.
In terms of day-to-day mortal living...
The Lamas of Tibet (very attractive to the Western world with its colorful ceremonies) have kept the Tibetans ignorant and in the dark ages with its repressive theological society.
On the other hand, the Chinese invaded and occupied this giant land area by brute force, under the pretense that this was always part of China.
Hmm... so should the average Tibetan choose a repressive set of Lamas who would keep him dirt-poor OR a repressive communist government, trying to kill off those Lamas and bring him into the modern world?
(A tough choice, but the latter seems the only option)

In order to crush an uprising, a military needs to field 10+ soldiers for every insurgent.
------Firstly,Tibetan are very friendly for Han and other minorities,Often a Han living in a Tibetan village is safer than living in a Han village,at least 50% Tibetan live together with Han and other minorities,not live in Tibet in fact.
------Secondly many Tibetban are patriots,If not neutral who will look the separatists as a threat or traitor just as Han,because they also are Han.Checking the DNA is no meaningless,because frequently separatists also are Han or Mongolian's descendants if tracing back to his family history.
------Finally,I have to say,no Tibetan want to live in a primitive society,somethings are irreversible,last ten year,Tibet,3 million population, got a economic aid of more than 300 billion yuan($46.9 billion).Local goverment fiscal revenue are negligible.The is the reason why so many Tibetan,especially the olders don't want to follow Dalai,they know what means the Old Tibet's life.I am sure that at least most monks would have felt very difficult to live even as beggars without an aid from center goverment.
We should distinguish the truth and fake news. What Chinaeagle said make sense.
Wait a minute and what you know, the Tibetan Buddhist theology says that the Chinese Emperor is the re-incarnation of the Manjusri Boddvasatva in his earthly throne. Thus the God given right to name and approve new lama.
So what do you do then since you can't do it in China as the Economist so vehemently suggested, and Xi Zang is an inseparable part of China as American VP stressed it only yesterday, and most of all, them 3 m Xi Zangers wouldn't blink anyway? And you can't change the belief of a religion you know. So what can be done to resolve the dilemma?
So I'd suggest a new approach by asking the good India to put money where its mouth is.
That is, to take Indian good will on face value, and if I was the press secretary of Lobsang Sangay, I'd advocate and demand, or just announce (legally per Havard paper milling) the establishment of "Kingdom of Tebeto Dharamsala", or "TD" for short (just like the "US" for the United States) as a fully independent sovereign in the world, with Dharamsala its capital and Himachal Pradesh its territory, Tibeto Buddhism its national religion and a royal constitution of theocracy to boot.
There's no reason India, China, the US, the UK, or other members of United Nations would not recognize this kingdom, of a new Shangri la in the south Himalaya foothills, with full diplomatic accord. Norway could be the head of diplomatic corp as India would be too conspicuous.
If India or other major power balks, we can always call India bluff and call for a UN sanctioned referendum on the matter in Dharamsala plebiscite.
Lobsang Sangay will stay on as Prime Minister of course, with perhaps HH (that's Hush Hush) Dalai Lama, formerly son of India, enthroned as the King. Sharon Tate could be a queen at Tsuglakhang Temple and Richard Gere his royal behind the spokesperson.
With such a power caste, they can finally put their money where their mouths are and allowing TD quit being pan handler for good. To maintain good neighborhood relations and for easier international aids, the kingdom's royal motto shall be "Hindi-TD Bhai Bhai". (What's that? OK), "Chini-TD Bhai Bhai" too.

I have discussed with a lot western bloggers regarding the creditability of published materials; here is the conclusion. The westerners, Indians, etc. claimed that only materials written by the westerners or people in G7 contain truth, and all materials came from China are propaganda. The root of such deep faith of their prejudice is that they said they publicly debated their materials even though all their debates were confined within a limited domain.
It seems process is more important than substance to the westerners. As long as a lie or fabricated fact has been publicly debated among themselves, it becomes true, Tibet farce is a typical case of westerner's truth; so is the western democracy, as long as the election process has gone through, all evil, crimes and abuses are legitimate, like the corrupted democracy in India, USA, Japan, etc.
@ Liveinhope,
The sympathy which the Han Chinese have for their fellow countrymen, the Tibetans, is to wish the Tibetans to live a better life, to have access to clean water, electricity, housing, education and all other amenities of life. At the same time, the Han Chinese wish all the ethnic minorities (including the Tibetans) to keep and cherish their cultures and religions. In other words, Han Chinese wish that the Tibetans meet their aspirations, which are also the aspirations of all human being, that is to live a better life.
On the other hand, the sympathy which the people of the western countries have for the Tibetans is to ensure that the Tibetans stay and remain enclosed in backward conditions without any of the modern amenities of life and to find solace solely in their religion. It is like wishing the Indians of North America to live in their tents and to fish and hunt for their living.

In addition to the famous Warhol pieces, the Museum also had a Leonardo da...
This museum deserves kudos for booking some good traveling exhibits. The Andy Warhol portrait exhibit was excellent. From the permanent collection, I particularly enjoyed the Thorne Miniature rooms; the museum offers helpful information on the furniture and architecture of the detailed rooms created by Ms. Thorne. And the outside sculpture garden provides a fine place to walk and enjoy some...
We moved to the Phoenix area 25 years ago and have witnessed this museum grow substantially. It is much bigger today. Its permanent collection is colorful and well displayed, but lacks first rate pieces by world renown artists. The American collection tends to have a southwestern regional focus. I've attached some photographs of some of the better pieces. Its contemporary...
We visited the Phoenix Art Museum to see the Andy Warhol portrait exhibit. It was WELL worth the entrance price and time! Good background information, on the artist and history of the paintings. We also visited the DaVinci exhibit but was somewhat disappointed. The papers were original DaVinci but mostly just the written notes with a few side-bar illustrations. We...
We had a day in Phoenix and my 14 year old daughter planned it for us - I wanted to lounge poolside at the hotel but she insisted we go to the Phoenix Art Museum. She figured out the public transit from the hotel and hustled me out the door. I am so glad she did. Our experience started with...
We enjoyed the featured exhibits on DaVinci, Andy Warhol and the Thorne miniatures collection. Plus, the Wave video in a room adjacent to DaVinci exhibit was fascinating, and the "Stars" installation with mirrors and lights was awesome. We also enjoyed lunch at Palettes restaurant in museum.
go on Wed. after 3 (open till 9) admission is by donation. Saves you a few bucks. Currently they have a Da Vinci exhibit- many interesting things to see.
I was here for a work event. I was able to see some of the art exhibits and they were great. There are nice gardens outside as well.

A man who robbed a Westlake Center jewelry store, then shot a hotel doorman who brought him down, has been sentenced to 41 years in prison.
Edmond Maynor, 36, of Lynnwood, was convicted by a King County Superior Court jury in June of one count of first-degree robbery, one count of second-degree assault and two counts of first-degree assault.
Because each of the crimes was committed with the aid of a handgun, a mandatory five-year additional sentence was added for each offense, according to prosecutors. Maynor was sentenced Friday.
According to court documents, Maynor walked into Express Jewelers in downtown Seattle in September 2012, wearing glasses, a hat, gloves and a full latex mask designed to make him look like a bald, white man.

Maynor went to the counter, asked to see a ring, then pulled out a loaded semi-automatic pistol, pointed it at the store's owner and threatened to shoot if a tray of rings was not handed over, according to prosecutors.
The owner did not immediately let go and Maynor fired one round at him, narrowly missing, police and prosecutors said.
As Maynor fled, he fired two more rounds at the store owner but missed, court records say.
Roberto Sandoval, a longtime doorman at the Mayflower Park Hotel, did not hear the shots, but did see a man running down the street and heard people yelling about a gunman, according to police.
In an interview with The Seattle Times not long after the robbery, Sandoval said he took off after the robber without really thinking about it, almost as a reflex.
Sandoval chased Maynor for several blocks before he took Maynor to the ground and was shot in the arm.
He said he was also hit with the butt of the gun..
Sandoval recovered, returned to work at the beginning of this year and is "doing great," the hotel's manager said Tuesday. He did not, however, wish to comment on the shooting or the sentencing, the manager said.

CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Anti-apartheid activist Mamphela Ramphele will run as presidential candidate for the Democratic Alliance (DA) in this year's South African election, giving the main opposition party a respected black figurehead to challenge the ruling ANC.
Mamphele, a medical doctor and former World Bank managing director, commands wide admiration among South Africa's black majority as the partner of Black Consciousness leader Steve Biko, beaten to death in apartheid police custody in 1977.
However, her Agang political party launched a year ago has struggled to gain traction despite growing disaffection among voters with the performance of the African National Congress (ANC), which has run the continent's biggest economy since the end of white-minority rule in 1994.
"I can think of no better person to be our presidential candidate in this crucial election," DA leader Helen Zille told a news conference, before embracing her new political ally.
Ramphele - also a successful businesswoman who made millions as a senior mining industry executive - alluded to the death in December of Nelson Mandela, South Africa's first black president, as a symbol of the changing political landscape.
"I believe this decision is in the best interests of South Africa as we head into turbulent waters," she said. "The death of Nelson Mandela has changed many things for South Africa."
Mamphele's inclusion as a top DA candidate is likely to help the party tackle the perception that it is the political home of privileged whites, but it is unlikely to have a major effect on the outcome of the presidential and parliamentary elections expected in May.
The ANC won nearly two thirds of the vote in the last elections in 2009 and even though its support has been waning since the advent of multi-racial democracy, its overall majority is not in question.

On The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street opened lower but turned mixed early in the day and remained that way for most of the session. The Dow and S&P spent most of the day deep in negative territory, while the Nasdaq managed to stay just above the flat line. Investors had a chance to digest yesterday's comments from the Fed and may have re-considered whether it latest policy stance was as dovish as originally believed. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., initial jobless claims rose 1K to 291K in the week ended March 14, which nearly matched the consensus 293K forecast. The current account deficit widened to $113.5B in Q4 from a revised deficit of $98.9B in Q3. The leading indicators for February rose 0.2% to 121.4, which was in-line with expectations. The Philadelphia Fed business outlook survey ticked down to a 5.0 one-year low from 5.2 in February, missing expectations for it to have risen a 7.0 reading. COMPANY NEWS: Apple (AAPL) joined the Dow Jones Industrial Average after the close last night, replacing AT&T (T). Shares of Apple finished their first day in the blue chip index down 97c, or 0.76%, at $127.50, while AT&T fell 39c, or 1.16%, to $33.20... Coffee giant Starbucks (SBUX) rose $1.92, or 2%, to close at $97.76 after hitting a new all-time high of $99.20 earlier. The move follows the company's investor day meeting yesterday, where it unveiled plans for two pilots of delivery services, reported a partnership to expand the distribution of its ready-to-drink products in China, and announced that its board has declared the sixth two-for-one split of the company's stock since its IPO in 1992. Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo were both unphased by the record highs and predicted the rally is not over for Starbucks in upbeat notes on the stock today. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Amicus Therapeutics (FOLD), which rose $3.11, or 33.26%, to $12.46 after reporting positive results in meetings with the EMA and FDA. Also higher was Wynn Resorts (WYNN), which gained $7.19, or 5.85%, to $130.11 after research firm Brean Capital last night initiated coverage of the stock and several casino peers with Buy ratings. Among the noteworthy losers was Transocean (RIG), which fell $1.09, or 7.15%, to $14.16 after saying that it intends to scrap four rigs and noting that with those it has announced plans to scrap a total of 16 floaters. Also lower after its earnings report was diversified apparel company Vince Holding (VNCE), which fell $3.50, or 16.36%, to $17.89. INDEXES: The Dow fell 117.16, or 0.65%, to 17,959.03, the Nasdaq gained 9.55, or 0.19%, to 4,992.38, and the S&P 500 declined 10.23, or 0.49%, to 2,089.27.
AT&T to pay $40M after missing appeal deadline, Bloomberg reports
AT&T is required to pay $40M in a patent infringement case because the company's lawyers failed to read a court document, reports Bloomberg. An appeals court ruled that AT&T missed the deadline to appeal a jury verdict for $27.5M, plus interest, won by Two-Way Media LLC. AT&T said its missed deadline was "excusable neglect" because of the incorrect docket entry, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said others were given the information needed and refused to extend the time period for the appeal.

On The Fly: Midday Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were mixed at midday, with Nasdaq slightly higher and the Dow and S&P 500 both down a bit more than 0.5%. The day's economic reports were generally benign and are likely less significant to the trading action than participants having had some time to digest yesterday's Fed comments. Immediately after the Fed's policy statement yesterday, the U.S. dollar fell as low as 1.10 against the euro, but that move was almost entirely reversed overnight. The dollar was back near pre-Fed levels against the euro early this morning, and similar moves were seen in pairs of the dollar and other major currencies. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., initial jobless claims rose 1K to 291K in the week ended March 14, which nearly matched the consensus 293K forecast. The current account deficit widened to $113.5B in Q4 from a revised deficit of $98.9B in Q3. The leading indicators for February rose 0.2% to 121.4, which was in-line with expectations. The Philadelphia Fed business outlook survey ticked down to a 5.0 one-year low from 5.2 in February, missing expectations for it to have risen a 7.0 reading. In Europe, the Swiss National Bank left rates unchanged, cut its growth forecasts for the country's economy, said that it will intervene in currency markets as needed since it believes the Swiss Franc remains overvalued. COMPANY NEWS: Apple (AAPL) joined the Dow Jones Industrial Average today, replacing AT&T (T). Shares of the iPhone maker were down 0.5% near midday, while AT&T stock fell a bit more than 1%... Shares of coffee giant Starbucks (SBUX) hit a new all-time high of $98.50 earlier this afternoon following the company's investor day meeting yesterday. In conjunction with its meeting, Starbucks reaffirmed its goal to grow its market cap to $100B, unveiled plans for two pilots of delivery services, announced that its board has declared the sixth two-for-one split of the company's stock since its IPO in 1992 and said it has entered into an agreement for Tingyi to manufacture and expand the distribution of Starbucks ready-to-drink products throughout mainland China. Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo both issued upbeat notes on the stock today, saying that the coffee retailer's shares can continue to climb. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Coronado Biosciences (CNDO), which gained 42% after announcing the formation of a new company, Mustang Therapeutics, focused on Chimeric Antigen Receptor, or CAR-T, technology. The company also announced a licensing agreement with NeuPharma for EGFR inhibitors. Also higher was Guess (GES), which gained 15% after reporting higher than expected profits for its fiscal fourth quarter. Among the noteworthy losers was Transocean (RIG), which fell 6% after having announced last night that four of its 5th generation UDW drillships will be cold stacked and the contract with ENI (E) for the Transocean Amirante was terminated. Transocean also said it intends to scrap four rigs, noting that with those it has announced plans to scrap a total of 16 floaters. Also lower following its earnings report was diversified apparel company Vince Holding (VNCE), which fell 16%. INDEXES: Near midday, the Dow was down 128.51, or 0.71%, to 17,947.68, the Nasdaq was up 3.15, or 0.06%, to 4,985.98, and the S&P 500 was down 13.36, or 0.64%, to 2,086.14.

T-Mobile announces 'Un-contract,' 'Carrier Freedom' initiatives
Today, during an event held to announce Un-carrier 9.0 − Un-carrier for Business − T-Mobile (TMUS) unveiled two new major Un-carrier initiatives for consumers. First, with T-Mobile's new "Un-contract," customers will now have more certainty in their wireless pricing than ever before. Consumers and businesses with the Simple Choice rate plan will find that rates won't go up as long as they're a T-Mobile customer and keep their plan − and even customers with unlimited 4G LTE will lock in their rates for a minimum of two years. The Un-carrier also launched "Carrier Freedom," a new move where T-Mobile will now cover all outstanding phone and tablet payments up to $650 per line when customers from AT&T (T), Verizon (VZ) or Sprint (S) switch to T-Mobile.

T-Mobile offers data rollover to prepaid customers
In a blog post Monday, T-Mobile Chief Marketing Officer Andrew Sherrard stated "This month, we're taking Data Stash even further. Starting Sunday March 22, Data Stash will start rolling out to Simple Choice prepaid customers. Every single one of our prepaid voice customers with a qualifying Simple Choice plan will start out with a Starter Stash with up to 10 GB of 4G LTE data. And when that's all used up, they'll start rolling forward their unused data for use up to a full year. Automatically and at no extra charge... Last year, wireless customers asked to keep their unused data more than 40,000 times − and that was just on Twitter alone."

DISH abused small business program in auction, FCC Commissioner says
FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai stated: "Last month, the FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau disclosed that two companies in which DISH Network Corp. has an 85% ownership stake are claiming over $3B in taxpayer-funded discounts on licenses they won during the AWS-3 spectrum auction. As I said then, allowing DISH, which has annual revenues of approximately $14B and a market capitalization of over $34B, to obtain billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies would make a mockery of the small business program. The evidence of abuse continues to mount. DISH recently disclosed that it made approximately $8.504B in loans and $1.274B in equity contributions to those two companies—hardly a sign that they were 'very small businesses' that lacked access to deep pockets. Moreover, we now know that DISH's abuse of the program had an enormous impact on actual small businesses serving actual customers."
