...Even if H1N1 seems to lack the killer instinct at the moment, flu viruses are unpredictable, and there's no guarantee that it couldn't change form. Flu season in the southern hemisphere is just beginning, and if the virus establishes itself in countries like Argentina or Australia, it could cause real damage. And there are still open mysteries, like why the bulk of the infections in the U.S. - and the confirmed deaths thus far in Mexico - have been found in people who are relatively young, which is unusual for the flu, or why this strain seems to be spreading...

...February, 24-year-old Li Qiaoming was beaten to death by other inmates in a jail in the southern province of Yunnan.

The unusual exercise in public participation stumbled when jail officials refused to provide critical pieces of evidence, including surveillance tapes of the detention center. The comments...
