- Oh, humble night: Dalai Lama, Dave Matthews, Death Cab for Cutie
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  From the Dalai Lama's foam maroon visor to Dave Matthews' everyman demeanor, the stage was rid of ego. Even the popular band Death Cab for Cutie, which made a surprise opening appearance, modestly introduced itself.

- Bring on Lama-Palooza
  Posted by Jeff from crosscut.com
  Lama-Palooza's man behind the curtain is a driven entrepreneur named Dan Kranzler, a Charles Foster Kane for children and early learning (better that than, say, politics or yellow journalism). Kranzler is a Bellevue-based wireless executive who founded Mforma, a mobile-entertainment company, in 2001.

- China Blasts Dalai Lama, Pelosi on Tibet
  Posted by Jeff from Huffington Post
  "The Dalai clique is scheming to take the Beijing Olympics hostage to force the Chinese government to make concessions to Tibet independence," said the People's Daily, the main mouthpiece of the Communist Party. The Tibetan spiritual leader called the accusations against him "baseless," asserting that he supported China's hosting of the summer games.

- Tibetan Youth Challenge Beijing -- and Dalai Lama
  Posted by Jeff from Wall Street Journal
  A new generation of impatient activists is vying to seize control of the Tibetan freedom movement from the Dalai Lama. Tsewang Rigzin, president of the 30,000-member Tibetan Youth Congress, has a clear goal: Tibet's independence from China. To achieve it, the group has staged a march to Tibet from this north Indian Himalayan town, called for a boycott of the Beijing Olympics, supported hunger strikes and demonstrated outside China's diplomatic missions around the world.

You guys better shut-up about China or else no more money for the war.
Thats right, Bush is China’s ***** because they lend the US money for the war.
Good luck getting the major news outlets to talk anything bad about China other than what the State Department allows them to say.

I think the IOC has failed to put parallel pressure on China to improve its human rights and environmental record ahead of the summer games. Granting China the games without having a plan to pressure them on specific reforms has turned into a major error. I suspect the games will turn into quite a fiasco.
