Social dislocation in Tibet as a result of Chinese economic development.  No 'planned' immigration of Han, but Han laborers follow the investment.  Interesting cf. the Han demographic revolution in central Yunnan in the 18th century, came to a head in the early 19th, temporarily stopped by the 'Muslim Rebellions' in 1850s, and then continued unabated up to modern times.  Interesting and tragic.

Jazz, Saturday afternoon serials -- it is the best radio station in Chicagoland, especially now that WBEZ is all-talk (boo! hiss!)

Cooking  Open face sandwiches.
Try the grilled ahi tuna with alepp chili mayo, avocadoes and moroccan black olive sandwich -- tpped with a slide of gently boiled egg, sprinkled with aleppo chili and fleur de sel (some sort of salt?)

Andrew L. Simpson, some rather nice stuff.  It gets better later. 

Yesterday, a company called Sungevity announced the availability of what they're calling the cheapest solar system in the world: a rooftop solar panel system, fully installed, for $2,000.  Go online, give location, they determine if you're solar-ready, you can order, arrange installation, have it on your roof in a few weeks.  But only in San Francisco and its environs -- it's subsidized.  Elsewhere, it's about 8,000.

Good for information, the Janesville repair center address for Parker and Waterman pens, reviews of pens, etc. 

I was finally driven to this by SciFi Channel moving Charlie Jade to 3 am Monday with no warning; thus, I missed 2 of the shows and oh boy you need to follow it carefully.

good for traveling in Egypt?

Our working with manufacturers, that we have supplied fabrics to over the years, has given us an understanding of what the consumer is looking for in sun protective apparel.  We know that consumers want to be sure that the products they are purchasing meet the strictest standards and guideline, yet offer a wide selection of colors sizes, are comfortable, and fit well. The SPF® STORE now offers such a product line and is proud to be the leader in offering tested, rated and certified UV protection.

The new Corpse is made out of rubber and light, like most cool things now, and it’s faster than we think. We have been posting new contents almost every day, despite our avowed intransigence and critical virility. We are determined not to let the site go flabby like many of our fellow websters’ domains where a kind of improvised wilderness reigns, like a hobo campfire under the freeway. There is nothing wrong with those kinds of environs, we wish they still existed in the nonvirtual world (and soon maybe they will!), but we are a discriminating literary journal & mean to keep it that way. This is why, even as we keep posting new bursts of genius, we are trying to release a new issue every two months or so, by changing our Homepage and posting a new pontification from the Lion. The Corpse has a stubborn esthetic (we’ll let you define that!) and we’ll stick to it like chess-players to Washington Square Park. In this issue, we continue posting Simone Ellis’ conversation with William Burroughs, text and audio ready for twitters, and sinking our scholarly teeth deep into the neck of academia by means of essays on uncomfortable subjects. We still have 3,000 submissions nobody looked at (“lasciate ogni speranza...”), which is why we now suspend the reading of submissions until May 2009. The clever and the great will still know how to find us without submitting. As everyone spins faster and chops time into thinner slices, we vow to go sly and slow.

The move of Mr. Schmidt is the latest sign of increasing influence of veterans of Mr. Rove’s shop in the McCain operation. Nicolle Wallace, communications director for Mr. Bush in the 2004 campaign (and in his White House), has joined the campaign as a senior adviser, and will travel with Mr. McCain every other week.

On business Wire -- so perhaps my expertise in kinship means I have a marketable skill?  Charles will be thrilled. 

A pioneering jazz musician, a trombonist and an arranger.  Why is she so little known?  Well -- because of the 'she.'  She played throughout the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, but was often too shy to solo.  But quite frankly, the men wouldn't hire her or play with her. 
Even today, how many female trombonists have you heard of?
