Citing sources in Tibet, RFA said that Sopa self-immolated in front of the police station of Darlag (in Chinese, Dari) county in Golog after shouting slogans calling for Tibet's freedom and the long life of Tibet's spiritual leader the Dalai Lama -- demands which have been common to all the 15 Tibetans who have self-immolated in Tibet since March 2011. In leaflets that Sonam Wangyal distributed just before he set himself ablaze, he stated his fiery sacrifice was not for his "personal glory but for Tibet and the happiness of Tibetans," RFA said quoting a source from inside Tibet.

YOW! 2011: Mike Lee - The Road to Appsterdam
[LESS INFO] 36 VIEWS | ADDED 14:00:00 12/19/11
Mike Lee is an exceptional developer and an even better person. His life's story is fascinating and the work he does benefits developers around the world, especially those who build mobile apps. Mike's a visionary guy and he has taken his vision of protecting and serving developers and built something real—a community-driven developer "safe-house" or, better yet, a global cultural center for app developers, a place to get training and support, help and guidance, build skills and get help when patent trolls attack. This place is called Appsterdam . In Mike's words "for app makers and product engineers, we have one API: What do you need?".
What is Appsterdam?
Here, Mike shares with us the story of how he got into computing and product engineering and how his path has led him to Appsterdam (and to Amsterdam, Netherlands). He explains the purpose and goals of Appsterdam, which are noble indeed. Mike's a visionary. He's able to follow his convictions and explain them with intelligence and passion. Heck, after the interview I felt like packing up and moving to Amsterdam! I'm glad Microsoft is involved with Appsterdam. It's great to see such devotion to developers and to the craft, business, culture and humanity of product engineering. I've not met anybody quite like Mike before. It was great listening to Mike's story and his passion is inspirational.
(Stay tuned for his YOW! session - it will be available soon. We'll provide a link to it and all other YOW! sessions).
Mike's YOW! speaker page
Tune in. Enjoy. Meet Mike Lee.
The YOW! Developer Conference offers outstanding opportunities to learn more about the latest practices, technologies, and methodologies for building innovative software solutions as well as the chance to meet and network with international software experts and other talented developers in Australia. Thanks to Dave Thomas and the event's excellent staff - Mary Catherine (MC), Lisa, Aino, Melissa , and others - for inviting me to this excellent pure developer event and thanks to all of the speakers for letting me take some of their time to record conversations for Channel 9. If you live in Australia, or aren't too far away, or just like to travel (who doesn't?), then you need to go to this yearly event. It's outstanding. There are many great developers down under. That's for sure. The speakers are exceptional—Dave and team set a high bar!

CNN's Steven Jiang was with Bale as guards thwarted the actor's efforts DONGSHIGU VILLAGE, China (CNN) -- As Christian Bale approached an impromptu checkpoint leading to this tiny village in eastern China, four men blocking the narrow path started marching toward him in menacing unison. "I am here to see Chen Guangcheng," the Hollywood actor said and I translated, with correspondent Stan Grant and cameraman Brad Olson next to us. "Go away!" the plainclothes guards barked, pushing us back. Amid the scuffling and yelling, dozens more guards in olive-green, military-style overcoats -- and two gray minivans -- emerged from the other side of the checkpoint, all coming toward us. "Why can I not visit this free man?" Bale asked repeatedly, only to receive punches from guards aiming for his small camera as they tried to drag him away from the rest of us.
