As many as 70,000 Chinese kids may get kidnapped each year. Parents, who often have nowhere to turn to for help, are taking matters into their own hands. BY CHARLES CUSTER| OCTOBER 10, 2011 BEIJING—On April 10, 2010, the Liu family was living the Chinese dream. The couple had moved to the city, rented an apartment, and were blessed with two beautiful children. They weren't rich, but they were getting by. Like many Chinese people, they felt their lives were getting better. The next morning, strange men came to their house, grabbed their son Liu Jingjun, dragged him into a white van, and drove off. Since then, the Lius have been looking for him. They haven't found him, but they have discovered that there are an awful lot of people just like themselves.

Curated News Edition Policy/ 35 The Tears of Somalia - By Recep Tayyip Erdogan RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN (Foreign Policy)

Submitted at 10/10/2011 9:12:30 AM

BY RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN| OCTOBER 10, 2011 Somalia is suffering from the most severe drought and famine in the last 60 years, which has already resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people and endangers the lives of 750,000 more Somalis. This crisis tests the notion of civilization and our modern values. It reveals, once again, that it is a basic human obligation to pursue international cooperation and solidarity to provide solace for those suffering from natural and man-made disasters. It is not realistic to consider Somalia's plight as caused solely by a severe natural disaster. We cannot ignore the fact that, in addition to the drought, the international community's decision to leave Somalia to its own fate is also an underlying factor causing this drama. Twenty years of political and social instability, lawlessness, and chaos have added enormously to the problems in Somalia. The horrifying truck bombing of the Transitional Federal community must not respond to people. Earth it may be and whichever community can contribute to the Government's ministerial complex this act of terrorism by retreating Nobody with common sense and people have to bear it. Our urgent alleviation of the Somali people's on Oct. 4 is just the latest from Somalia, but by redoubling conscience can remain indifferent intervention as responsible evidence of this.

Since then, tens of thousands of pharmacists have been certified to give shots. Drugstore and supermarket pharmacies across the country have launched a marketing blitz to attract flu shot customers, touting the convenience of stopping at a local drugstore and often offering drop-in vaccinations anytime the pharmacy is open — sometimes even 24 hours a day.

Submitted at 10/10/2011 11:00:52 AM

A week ago, Tablet magazine ran a profile of me by Michelle Goldberg that remarked“These days the former Bush speechwriter sounds more and more like a Democrat.” Michelle had in mind items like this blogpost, in which I enumerate the ways the GOP is wrong about the present economic crisis. That latter post prompted a rejoinder from Scott Galupo at US News. Galupo’s comment is especially noteworthy since he’s a former staffer to Speaker John Boehner and a writer for the Washington Times. Galupo says of my “GOP is wrong” list: This is, to put it mildly, an exhaustive and damning litany. But the actual point of Frum’s blog post was that former Gov. Mitt Romney kinda-maybe-sorta doesn’t agree with this consensus, and therefore offers the best hope (but only a “slender” hope!) that the Republican candidate will be on the right side of the “most urgent economic issue of the day.” ….
