By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsPharmaceutical giant Pfizer announced Tuesday that the company will once again recall its highly popular cholesterol drug Lipitor due to consumer complaints of an "uncharacteristic" odor.

WikiWatch: U.S. Concerns About Brazil's Enforcement of Patents, Copyrights
By Carla Baranauckas - Politics DailyWhen President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil took office in 2003, the United States had doubts about his commitment to protection of American intellectual property rights, namely patents and copyrights, according to a diplomatic cable released Thursday by WikiLeaks. The American Embassy in Brasilia recommended in March 2003 that Brazil remain on the Priority Watch List of countries viewed as weak in protecting copyrights and patents. The cable indicated that the Lula government had "vowed action" on rampant piracy and counterfeiting but that it was too early to tell if it would make ...

Over the past two years, the commonwealth has seen its unemployment climb from an already high 13 percent to a gut-wrenching 16 percent. So why did Puerto Rico Gov.

Approved by Puerto Rico's House and Senate on Oct. 23, and signed into law by the governor the following Monday, Law 154 levies an excise tax on all offshore ...

By not in system - AOL News(June 9) -- More than 100,000 people die every year from prescription drugs. But rather than focus on tightening the safety assessment around dangerous drugs, some lawmakers in the House and Senate are pushing legislation -- the Senate version is the Dietary Supplement Safety Act (S. 3002) -- that is designed to regulate dietary supplements the same as investigative new drugs. In fact, one is shamefully tucked inside the Wall Street Reform Bill (H.R. 4173). The argument for these measures, made loudly by many pundits and news media outlets, is that dietary supplements are "unregulated" and ...

The Health Care Issues Keep Piling Up: What About Tort Reform?
By Bob Franken - Politics DailyWith all the pushing and shoving going on with health care reform, there's very little attention being paid to tort reform. Malpractice lawsuits always are near the top of any medical provider's tale of woe. It's a shame it's not as controversial, so far, as the many other facets of health care reform. The screamers would REALLY enjoy yelling at some lawyers. ...
