1. China steps up security, cuts off internet in Tibet
DAOFU, China — Beijing is mounting a show of force in Tibetan areas to prevent a repeat of uprisings against Chinese rule.
A volatile period begins Tuesday, the 50th anniversary of a failed revolt that sent the Tibetan leader, the Dalai Lama, into exile.
A year ago, Tibetans erupted in protest. Today, checkpoints and garrisons seem as numerous as the monasteries and shrines that dot the slopes and pastures of western China bordering Tibet.
What is happening in Tibetan areas has become increasingly difficult to verify. Internet and mobile phone text-messaging services have been suspended for the past two weeks or so in Aba and Ganzi, two areas where protests broke out last year.
2. Sudan's president may kick out more aid groups
EL FASHER, Sudan — Sudan's president threatened to kick out more aid groups and expel
diplomats and peacekeepers on Sunday during his first trip to Darfur after an international court issued an arrest warrant against him for war crimes the
Sudan has already expelled 13 of the largest aid groups operating in Darfur as part of its defiant response to the International Criminal Court's decision last week to indict him.
Al-Bashir was greeted by thousands of cheering supporters in the North Darfur capital of El Fasher.

5. Man shoots, kills pastor during a church service
Illinois Master Trooper Ralph Timmins the man walked down the aisle during the early Sunday service at First Baptist Church in Maryville.

words with pastor Fred Winters and then pulled out a .45-caliber handgun.

6. Man leaves his fortune to college he ate at daily
COSTA MESA, Calif. — Bruce Lindsay left behind a tip officials at Vanguard University won't soon forget.
Lindsay, who passed away last month at 79, bequeathed his estate to the small Christian university in Orange County where he ate daily at the cafeteria for decades. The donation, estimated to be at least several million dollars, will likely help the school that is saddled with $42 million in debt.
Known as the "campus grandpa" by students, Lindsay amassed his fortune by buying up cut-rate oil leases and flipping beachfront homes. Lindsay ate all of his meals on campus.
