Well there, the meeting's done. Like as many times before with leaders of nations around the world, the Dalai Lama is met with respect and love. It's too bad that China just doesn't get have a clue, keeps itself isolated in global opinion and continuosly loses in the PR front...

Kise Bettei was such a nice facility already... that being said, it would be interesting to see how Ritz-Carlton handles it.

H,
Funny, I thought overlooking birth certificates was the specialty of China. Especially in olympic atheletes. But thanks for your concern, we're going with the international norm concerning the Dalai Lama.

Dear Hu:
If you think that meeting with Hamas and Al-Quada would improve your international PR, by all means, please do so. You've already done wonders in PR by being big brother to N. Korea.
We know that meeting with the Dalai Lama is held in good light with the inetrnational community.
Best regards,
B. Obama

Dear China:
Your concern has been noted. However, request denied. What was your favourite line, "Please stay out of internal affairs"?
Sincerely,
USA

Pretty lengthy shaking this morning. Felt it quite nicely at 12th floor. Very short but noticeable vertical P wave and then about a minute or two of rolling horizontal S wave....

Seeing that many components of the 787 are made in Japan and sent to Boeing for final assembly, would they be "double testing" teir own technology? At least the Japanese have the courtesy of licensing US and EU tech, as opposed to the Chinese (i.e., Siemens/Kawasaki HSR trains which are supposedly Chinese technology...)

Japanese navigation systems rock! Real time traffic info even on non-highway streets are so helpful too. ANd the fact that they've had this for years. Too bad Garmin and Tom Tom are not exactly up to par in the states...

The food aid should be conditioned upon a real quid pro quo... perhaps one ton of food aid per each MiG, tank or sub (operational). It's good to see that the international community is not trusting NK and delaying any shipment of aid due to the doubts of any aid reaching its citizens as opposed to it being funneled to DPRK military.
Otherwise, no aid should be sent... NK should be made to fall apart from the inside...
