Chinese Police Drag Grieving Parents From Protest
Chinese police dragged away more than 100 parents Tuesday while they were protesting the deaths of their children in poorly constructed schools that collapsed in the earthquake that destroyed 7,000 classrooms. Many parents have accused contractors of cutting corners when building the classrooms, resulting in deficient schools, and pictures of collapsed schools surrounded by buildings still standing have fueled anger.

Sharon Stone has become a bit of a Karma Chameleon, and apologized for
her statement that the earthquake was China's Karma coming back to haunt them.
She
said, "Due to my inappropriate words and acts during the interview, I feel deeply sorry and sad about hurting Chinese people." She's been removed from Dior ads in China following the incident.
Karma is an important concept for Buddhists, Hindus and Sikhs — but what is it exactly.
Since the earthquake, Chinese Premiere Wen Jiabao has made a bunch of friends. Over 13,000 of them to be exact —
according to his hopping Facebook profile. He's become wildly popular for his fast and feeling response to the May 12 earthquake.
