APOD: 2002 December 30 - A Sun Pillar
Explanation: Have you ever seen a sun pillar? When the air is cold and the Sun is rising or setting, falling ice crystals can reflect sunlight and create an unusual column of light. Ice sometimes forms flat, stop-sign shaped crystals as it falls from high-level clouds. Air resistance causes these crystals to lie nearly flat much of the time as they flutter to the ground. Sunlight reflects off crystals that are properly aligned, creating the sun-pillar effect.

"Viva La Vida"
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead long live the king
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
Missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

"Missed The Boat"
While we're on the subject
Could we change the subject now?
I was knocking on your ear's door but you were always out
Looking towards the future
We were begging for the past
Well we knew we had the good things
But those never seemed to last
Oh please just last
Everyone's unhappy
Everyone's ashamed
Well we all just got caught looking
At somebody else's page
Well nothing ever went
Quite exactly as we planned
Our ideas held no water
But we used them like a dam
Oh, and we carried it all so well
As if we got a new position
Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell
Saying yes, this is a fine promotion
Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell
Of course everyone goes crazy
Over such and such and such
We made ourselves a pillar
We just used it as a crutch

DAVID BLATTY JUL 6, 2012
Though exiled during the Tibetan Uprising of 1959, Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, has been Tibet's most devout leader for more than 60 years, and continues to be one of the world's most ardent humanitarians and counsellors of peace. In celebration of the Dalai Lama's 77th birthday—July 6, 2012—hundreds of thousands of citizens worldwide reflect on his lifelong, altruistic accomplishments and powerful global impact.
The Protector Since the Middle Ages, the Dalai Lama has acted as both the spiritual and civil leader of Tibet. But never has the Dalai Lama's role as protector of the Tibetan people been of such great importance as with Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama. From his enthronement in 1940 at age four to his appointment to full political power in 1950 to his effective political retirement in 2011, the life of the 14th Dalai Lama has been one entirely devoted to the welfare of the Tibetan people, and to the preservation of Tibetan culture.
The 14th Dalai Lama Lhamo Thondup was born on July 6, 1935, to a farmer and his wife in Taktser, China. He was the fifth of 16 children, and one of only seven to survive. At the age of two, he was identified by a traveling regent as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama and was taken to the Tibetan capital of Lhasa. His name was changed to Tenzin Gyatso, and he was enthroned as the 14th Dalai Lama on February 22, 1940. Following his enthronement, he was separated from his family and moved to Potala Palace, the traditional residence of the Dalai Lama and the seat of the Tibetan government since the 7th century. There he began his education in such subjects as logic, Tibetan art and culture, medicine and Buddhist philosophy.
Occupation, Resistance, Exile In 1950, the Dalai Lama, who was only 15, was appointed to full political power by his caretakers following the invasion of Tibet by the People's Republic of China. He sent a delegation to negotiate peace with the Chinese government, but they were forced to sign an agreement ceding control of Tibet to China. Despite subsequent peace talks between the Dalai Lama and China's leader, Mao Zedong, the occupation of Tibet and the oppression of its people continued.
In 1956, a rebellion broke out in eastern Tibet, and the Dalai Lama accepted an offer of help from the CIA, who provided both financial and tactical support to the resistance movement. Their efforts, however, would ultimately prove unsuccessful, and years later, the Dalai Lama would criticize the CIA as having been interested in aiding Tibet only to further its own Cold War agenda.
In 1959, violence once more erupted in Tibet when it was learned that the Chinese government planned to kidnap and possibly even assassinate the Dalai Lama. Fearing for his life, the Dalai Lama fled to India, where he was granted full political asylum.
Preserving Tibetan Culture Immediately following his arrival in in Dharamsala, India, the Dalai Lama set out on a course that would define his life. He established a government in exile, and then turned his attention to the welfare of the approximately 80,000 refugees who followed him there, and to the preservation of a displaced Tibetan culture. He founded the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts, which focused on Tibetan artistic heritage, and created a Tibetan education system for refugees. In 1963 he issued a draft constitution for Tibet, which resulted in a document known as the Charter of Tibetans in Exile. This charter established freedom of speech, religion and movement, and incorporated the ideas of nonviolence, respect for human rights and the promotion of moral values. It also outlined the rights and responsibilities of Tibetans living in exile.
The Dalai Lama made further efforts at preservation during the late 1960s and into the 1970s, mostly in response to the Chinese government's destruction of Tibetan institutions during its Cultural Revolution. He established the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies, which became the primary university for exiled Tibetans, and the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives, which houses tens of thousands of manuscripts relating to Tibetan history and culture. These endeavors were further bolstered by the Dalai Lama's actions to bring the plight of the Tibetan people to the attention of the world.
Political and Humanitarian Efforts The 14th Dalai Lama's devotion to the Tibetan people led him to interact with the international community to a degree far surpassing that of his predecessors. Early in his exile, he made several appeals to the United Nations, which led to the passing of resolutions on China in 1959, 1961 and 1965 that called for the respect of fundamental human rights and a cessation of human rights violations in Tibet; however, little was done to enforce the resolutions. He visited Europe for the first time in 1973, and the United States in 1979. Soon thereafter, he began to travel the world to lecture on Buddhism, to educate people on the plight of the Tibetan people, and to meet with religious and political leaders to win support for their cause.
The Nobel Peace Prize In 1988, before the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, the Dalai Lama proposed a compromise in which Tibet would remain an autonomous region of China, rather than an independent, separate state. Though the plan was ultimately rejected, in 1989 the Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for these and his other nonviolent efforts to bring about the liberation of Tibet.
Retirement and Succession In March 10, 2011, on the 52nd anniversary of his exile from Tibet, the Dalai Lama announced that he would give up his role as Tibet's political leader, making him the first Dalai Lama in history to do so. Further breaking with tradition, he expressed his belief that Tibetans should elect their new leader, or that he could appoint his own successor. The Chinese government rejected this idea, insisting that the tradition of selecting the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama must be upheld.
Though effectively retired from his political duties, the 14th Dalai Lama continues to lobby the international community for the Tibetan cause. He also continues to communicate world issues, offer advice and connect with others through his personal Twitter page, which is currently followed by more than 4 million fans. In a recent post, the Dalai Lama wrote: "Anger destroys our peace of mind and our physical health. We shouldn't welcome it or think of it as natural or as a friend."
For his lifelong humanitarian work, the 14th Dalai Lama has received more than 84 awards, honorary doctorates and prizes in recognition of his message of peace and nonviolence, understanding and compassion.

Dalai Lama
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dalai Lama is a monk of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" school of Tibetan Buddhism, the newest of the schools of Tibetan Buddhism founded by Je Tsongkhapa. The 14th and current Dalai Lama is Tenzin Gyatso.
The Dalai Lama is considered to be the successor in a line of tulkus who are believed to be incarnations of Avalokitesvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, called Chenrezig in Tibetan. The name is a combination of the Mongolic word dalai meaning "ocean" (coming from Mongolian title Dalaiyin qan or Dalaiin khan, translated as 'Gyatso' in Tibetan) and the Tibetan word (bla-ma) meaning "guru, teacher, mentor". The Tibetan word "lama" corresponds to the better known Sanskrit word "guru".
