According to an interview this week with Colombia’s ambassador to the United States, Gabriel Silva, Colombians are “losing patience” with their American ally. The frustration in Colombia is understandable. The agreement was signed in November 2006, but it has been locked in the cupboard since then by labor unions and their congressional allies who claim the Colombian government has not done enough to curb violence in that country against union members. My Cato colleague Juan Carlos Hidalgo and I examine the agreement and the claims against it in a new Cato Free Trade Bulletin, "Trade Agreement Would Promote U.S....

The move was prompted, in part, because a Florida psychiatrist, Sohail Punjwani, who treated the boy before he committed suicide, received an FDA warning letter for failing “to protect the rights, safety and welfare” of children enrolled in clinical trials (back story). Before the suicide, the psychiatrist prescribed to kids several drugs, some of which weren’t approve...

Watch CBS News Videos Online  How To Survive The Summer Barbecue  My mother was very proud of the fact that none of her four children ever became sick from her cooking. While it’s true she may have erred on the side of overcooking the turkey, being spared food poisoning is yet another in the long list of gifts from my mom. Every year, about 76 million Americans develop illness from food, more than 325,000 are hospitalized, and about 5,000 die. The most common cause is contamination with bacteria such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, Shigella, and E. coli — though other organisms such as viruses and protozoa can also be culprits. As summer begins, I thought it woul...

Reports the New York Times: When Adm. James G. Stavridis took over the military’s Southern Command in late 2006, his French was excellent but he spoke no Spanish. Not content to rely on interpreters, he put himself on a crash course to learn the language. Over the next three years, his fluency was measured not only in the high-level meetings he conducted in the native tongue of his military hosts. He also read the novels of Gabriel García Márquez, the Nobel laureate from Colombia, in the original rich and lyrical Spanish. Now Admiral Stavridis’s boss, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, has given him a new assignment, which starts Tuesday....

I have long been an admirer of the teaching profession, their vocation and dedication, all of them. We entrust our children into their care, in loco parentis, secure in the knowledge that they will do their part in guiding them along the treacherous path to adulthood. I was therefore a little alarmed to read that a young Kindergartener, "Alex Barton," had been voted out of his class, a bit like one of those popular reality shows on the telly. This wasn’t a case like "Lord of the Flies," where the children had run amuck without adult supervision, but rather, his ousting was instigated by his teacher. It made "me" wonder. It made lots of "people" wonder. It made his mum take "action."I wondered why a teacher might do such a thing? ...

That’s what an undercover operation conducted by reporters for The Times of London found recently. They pretended to set up a wholesaling business and advertised on the Internet. Lo and behold, they were contacted by Gabriel Zhang, 32, who runs Siqi Pharmceuticals, and offered to make fake pills for everything from erectile dysfunction to heart disease and cancer. And he promised perfect reproductions. “We copy every single detail. We could produce $100 bills but we wouldn’t do that because it is illegal,” he boasted. To prove that he could produce the lifesaving drugs he provided the wholesaler with counterfeit Viagra which had been manufactured in his factory. And guess what? The Viagra turned out to contain “overdose” levels of the acti...

Life is never again taken 100% for granted. The joys of childhood are held dear for just a moment or two longer because once your universe is shaken to its core, those moments are needed for processing.One mother who has been struggling with such issues is Emily Elizabeth. Her young son, Gabriel, was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect when he was a just a day old. Today he will be undergoing his second heart surgery in under a year. Gabriel's first surgery was a success but in November 2006 his family was informed he would need another procedur...
