There is a battle between the largest private landowner of Moloka'i (the Moloka'i Ranch) and the native Hawaiians over La'au Point on the southwestern tip of Moloka'i. The owner wants to develop La'au Point while giving back 78% of its existing hol

While the fight over La'au Point centers around the intended usage of the land, the po

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de
