OAS member states agree to lift suspension of Cuba

Cuba’s 47-year suspension from the Organization of American States will be lifted, thanks to an agreement reached Wednesday by foreign ministers assembled in Honduras, diplomats here announced.

”The cold war has ended today in San Pedro Sula,” Honduran President Manuel Zelaya said.

The United States– which had been pressuring the OAS for weeks to condition Cuba’s readmission to the hemispheric group on democratic principles and commitment to human rights — characterized the agreement as good news, saying it does in fact contain important clauses.

Ecuador’s foreign minister, Fander Falconí, told reporters there are no such conditions.

”This is a new proposal, it has no conditions — of any kind,” Falconí said. “That suspension was made in the Cold War, in the language of the Cold War. What we have done here is fix a historic error.”

Health: Read this over coffee

Go ahead: That cup of joe won’t hurt you, the latest research says. It might even help you.

kana_mugCoffee drinkers, rejoice! The heavenly brew, once deemed harmful to health, is turning out to be, if not quite a health food, at least a low-risk drink, and in many ways a beneficial one. It could protect against diabetes, liver cancer, cirrhosis and Parkinson’s disease.

What happened? Lots of new research, and the recognition that older, negative studies often failed to tease apart the effects of coffee and those of smoking because so many coffee drinkers were also smokers.

“Coffee was seen as very unhealthy,” said Rob van Dam, a coffee researcher and epidemiologist at the Harvard School of Public Health. “Now we have a more balanced view. We’re not telling people to drink it for health. But it is a good beverage choice.”

As you digest the news on coffee, keep in mind that coffee and caffeine are not the same thing. In fact, “they are vastly different,” said coffee researcher Terry Graham, chairman of Human Health and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. One can be good for you; the other, less so.

“Coffee is a complex beverage with hundreds, if not thousands, of bioactive ingredients,” he said. “A cup of coffee is 2% caffeine, 98% other stuff.”

Cubans reconnect with past through database

Cubans reconnect through databaseBY LUISA YANEZ
lyanez@miamiherald.com

Scores of Pedro Pan veterans who came to the United States as children during the child exodus crowded into The Miami Herald pavilion on Sunday to find their names in a unique database unveiled by the newspaper over the weekend at Cuba Nostalgia.

“This is a wonderful way to preserve our history,” said Marilu Canton, veteran of Operation Pedro Pan, who found her name among the list of 14,048 names now kept in the Operation Pedro Pan Database.

Coined by a Miami Herald reporter, Operation Pedro Pan took care of unaccompanied children between 6 and 17 who arrived alone in the U.S. between 1960 and 1962. Parents were getting their children out of Cuba, fearing communist indoctrination spreading in private and public schools.

After first being placed in camps in Miami-Dade such as Matecumbe, Kendall, Florida City and Opa-locka, the children had to start new lives in exile in foster homes, orphanages and boarding schools across the country.

Though many were reunited with their parents quickly, that proved not to be true in some cases.
