Indians Practice Ritual Of Throwing Children For Health (VIDEO)
Like baptism or first communion, Indian children are subject to various rites-of-passage during their youth. But unlike those Western traditions, this one could potentially leave a kid a bit worse for the wear. In a custom believed to enhance children's physical health and stamina, priests in Maharashtra's Jaina town dangled hundreds of local youngsters by the arms and feet before tossing them to a crowd of devotees holding a cloth below. These high-flying children range in age from two months to four years old, and were subject to the 500-year-old custom during Navratri, a nine-night festival marking both spring and autumn. Though priests are now limited to five feet, children were tossed as far as 40 feet in centuries past.

If Men Were Angels
On the relationship between citizens and government.
Life in a stateless society will sometimes be bad, because not only are people not angels, but many of them are irredeemably vicious. But the outcome in a society under a state will be much worse, because, first, the most vicious people in society will tend to gain control of the state8 and, second, by virtue of this control over the state's powerful engines of death and destruction, they will wreak vastly more harm than they ever could have caused outside the state.9 It is unfortunate that some individuals commit crimes, but it is stunningly worse when such criminally inclined individuals wield state powers.

Bush Encounters the Supermarket, Amazed
As President Bush travels the country in search of re-election, he seems unable to escape a central problem: This career politician, who has lived the cloistered life of a top Washington bureaucrat for decades, is having trouble presenting himself to the electorate as a man in touch with middle-class life. Today, for instance, he emerged from 11 years in Washington's choicest executive mansions to confront the modern supermarket.

Forget Oregon’s Gunman. Remember the Hero Who Charged Straight at Him.
No amount of murder seems likely to result in gun control any time soon. So let’s do what we can to stop the lunacy—by reserving the limelight for the vet who rushed Thursday’s shooter. Forget the 26-year-old zero who murdered 10 innocents at Umpqua Community College on Thursday morning. The one to remember is 30-year-old Chris Mintz, the student and Army vet who was shot at least five times while charging straight at the gunman in an effort to save others.

According to a tally by AL.com columnist John Archibald, eight of the 10 Alabama counties with the highest percentage of non-white registered voters saw their driver's license offices closed.

The race to replace John Boehner is on. And things got even more pressing when Boehner announced yesterday that the House GOP would hold early elections for new leadership — on Thursday, October 8 — a move that seems intended to stop the opposition from having enough time to organize. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is clearly the odds-on favorite to become the next House speaker. Still, conservative Republicans are casting about for Tea Party-friendly alternatives who might be able to capitalize on the fact that McCarthy doesn't quite have the votes. But their picks, like Reps. Daniel Webster (R-Fla.) and Peter Roskam (R-Ill.), don't exactly fire the imagination. I have a better suggestion: Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.).
Once again, the Kurds may be the odd man out. The largest ethnic group in the world without a country of their own, the Kurds have been the West's most effective ally battling the Islamic State on the ground in Iraq and Syria. They've repelled ISIS from the borders of their semi-autonomous region in Iraq, and they've defeated them in key Turkish border towns, including the much-celebrated battle of Kobani.

The Guardian view on the fall of Kunduz: the high price of international neglect
As the Taliban hoisted their flag in the centre of Kunduz, one of Afghanistan’s strategic northern cities, a forgotten conflict forced its way back on to the agenda. This is a watershed moment, not only for Afghanistan but for central Asia, where the growth of violent jihadi groups remains a serious concern. Kunduz is close to Tadjikistan and the capture of this town represents the first time a major urban area has fallen into the hands of the insurgent movement since the overthrow of the Taliban regime in 2001 by a US-led international coalition.

Trump Gives Putin an ‘A’ for Leadership, Grades Him Higher Than Obama
The US Republican presidential hopeful has praised President Putin’s leadership, giving him the highest grade, unlike his own country’s leader; Trump also criticized US' Syria policy, bashing Washington for not even knowing whom it is backing. It may even be that President Assad is a better leader than those whom the US is supposed to be backing.
Here’s How And Why Russia Is Fighting ISIL In Syria
Russia’s anti-terrorist intervention in Syria is just as much about snuffing out domestic security threats as it is about international ones.

This prying began after a contentious March 24 House hearing at which Chaffetz scolded the director and the agency for its series of security gaffes and misconduct. The hearing sparked anger inside the agency.
