I have not kept up with the news, and this may seem like a stupid question, but why are the Chinese angry with the Dalai Lama, what did he do?

He represents the government of Tibet which they invaded (back in the 1950's I think). They tried to stamp out Buddhist beliefs there, and the Lama has been the figurehead of resistence to the Chinese policies ever since.

Years ago I used to work a a housemaid at the Regent Hotel and the Dalai Lama stayed. He had a floor to himself and the security was extremely tight. Only certain housemaids were authorised to enter the floor. The cost involved is partially due to security measures for the man.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
