Some American doctors think the IOM, which is part of the National Academy of Sciences, could have gone even further in its recommendations for overweight women. Dr. Raul Artal, a professor of obstetrics at St. Louis University's School of Medicine, believes that more attention needs to be paid to the long-term health risks of maternal obesity for both mother and child, and that these concerns are far more important than any gestational weight-gain chart. Artal runs a clinic specializing in obese and overweight pregnancies and has found that, under the close guidance of dietitians and physicians, about...
Panamanian sociologist Raul Leis says the red devils represent "popular expression and color" of individual ownership in a privatized transportation system. However, he continues, with time the bus system has fallen into the "vice" of concentrated ownership and inefficient service. Today, Leis says, the red devils represent "a form of hell" that pose more of a hazard than public service to the 800,000 low-income Panamanians who depend on them every day for a ride to work or school...
...embargo as a reflection of how Washington treats them as well.

Last year, in fact, Morales expelled the U.S. ambassador after accusing him of supporting his right-wing foes in Santa Cruz. Last week, he remarked that armed groups in that province were "instruments of the empire," his code for the U.S. But while he complained on Thursday of "outside...
...airline bombing, and whose agents in 2006 traveled to Havana to conduct their own investigation of the hotel bombings - in turn may have stronger evidence of Posada's participation. One of the issues Posada is accused of lying about is whether he arranged for a Salvadoran man, Raul Cruz Leon, to take explosives to Cuba in 1997. Dennis Jett, an international-relations professor at Penn State University and a former U.S. ambassador to Peru, says the new Posada indictment is "probably just an extension of the judicial process that has been under way for years, rather than a change...
