The following is an excerpt from "Bowing to Beijing" (Regnery Publishing, Nov. 14, 2011):
The Chinese have peddled numerous toxic products to American consumers, including everything from children's toys to adult vitamins to pet food. The U.S. government regularly stops more poisonous or faulty products at the border that were imported from the PRC than from any other nation. In April 2011, for example, the Food and Drug Administration issued 197 import refusals for Chinese goods, compared to 107 for India and 105 for Mexico, the two next most prolific purveyors of bad merchandise. Some of the 197 goods refused for entry into America included hazardous cardiograph machines, cosmetics, pet medicine, diet drugs, orthodontic parts, surgical bandages, frozen spinach, asparagus and candy.

ATLANTA - Prison officials around the country have been going to extraordinary and in at least one case, legally questionable lengths to obtain a scarce lethal-injection drug, securing it from middlemen in Britain and a manufacturer in India and borrowing it from other states to keep their executions on track, according to records reviewed by The Associated Press. You guys in AZ are life savers, California prisons official Scott Kernan emailed a counterpart in Arizona, with what may have been unintentional irony, in appreciation for 12 grams of the drug sent in September. Buy you a beer next time I get that way. The wheeling and dealing come amid a severe shortage of sodium thiopental, a sedative that is part of the three-drug lethal injection cocktail used by nearly all 34 death pena...

The railroads include Union Pacific Corp. and Burlington Northern Santa Fe. Union Pacific has a rail yard in Colton and BNSF operates rail yards in San Bernardino and Barstow. Congress could intervene as early as today to avert a shutdown. House lawmakers said Thursday they hope the parties will agree to extend the negotiation period for another 60 days. If not, House GOP leaders intend to bring up for a vote today a bill to block a strike, said Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure rail subcommittee. The bill would impose the settlement recommendations of a five-membe...

A Flagstaff, Ariz., scientist may have discovered a nonsurgical way to sterilize dogs -- an advance that would revolutionize animal- shelter medicine and address many states' canine-overpopulation problem in the process, according to one veterinary expert.
Dr. Loretta Mayer was looking for a way to artificially induce menopause in mice so they could be used to study human diseases when she and another scientist developed a drug that they realized also could be used to sterilize female dogs, removing the need for painful and expensive surgery.
