On
September 30, 2004, the international prescription
drug company Merck announced the worldwide withdrawal
of the arthritis medication Rofecoxib, sold

because a study showed an increased risk of
heart attack and stroke. Patients who have suffered
injuries due to Vioxx have filed litigation
against Merck for failing to recall the drug
when it first learned of Vioxx's dangerous side
effects.

What's New Here? - Wow!TEMPLATE
If you use the popular blogging websiteyou may have found yourself wondering if there was a way to "dress up" your blog with a new template. If this is you, then Google's got some good news! Their new Blogger template designer is now available to everyone by default and the best part of it is that you don't have to know any kind of HTML or CSS code in order to use it. If you've logged into Blogger lately, you'll notice that you now have a brand new window that pops up announcing the new template designer. Once you log in, if you do see this window, click the "Try it now" button if you don't, here's how to get to it to test out some new designs yourself: Log in to your account at/li> Go to the "Design" menu. Select "Template Designer" which will be the last item on this menu. On the left you'll notice there are four different links you can click on. These are: Templates Background Layout Advanced The first thing you'll want to do is choose a design from the boxes on your right. These are entitled: Simple Picture Window Awesome Inc. Watermark and Ethereal Notice that as you click on each of these designs, you'll see a preview of that design with your current blog in the window just below these selections. Each of these designs listed above will have various additional selections you can preview. For instance, if you click on the "Picture Window" selection you'll see that you have three options to choose from within this main template selection. Just keep clicking through the designs until you find one you like. Once you've chosen your design, you can then click on the links on the left. Note however, that not all template selections will have additional options. For instance, if you choose "Picture Window" and then click "Background" from the menu on the left you'll be able to choose a different color theme for your blog. But here's something you might not know. If you choose a template that allows you to change the background, you'll see a small arrow next to the picture that's displayed just underneath the heading "Background Image". If you click on this arrow, a new window will pop-up allowing you to choose from multiple different kinds of backgrounds for your blog. They're even organized by the type of images they are with a menu on the left. You can even choose the layout you'd like, and drill down even further to change the layout of your footer as well as the width of your blog which can be extremely helpful if you intend on placing lots of images in the left and right hand margins. This width adjustment allows for a larger area of text to make your blog easier to read. Finally, if you're up to it, there's an "Advanced" link. This will let you change lots of fine details about your blog such as the font that you're using for the title, the color of that font, how you want your links to display, what you want the backgrounds of your tabs to look like and so much more! The nice thing about each of these advanced details that you can change is that the color selections you're given all correspond with and work well with the template design you've chosen. This way you won't accidentally have red text on a pink background or something that may not look very professional. All in all these new designs are welcome changes for Blogger fans. New templates have been a long time coming for this popular and free program and to be quite honest, the new designs are fun to play around with as well! I suggest that when you have a few extra minutes you test out these new templates and see what designs you can come up with.

There are so many different kinds of SEO companies and as every company has individual requirements that you will need to find a company that works best for you and can accommodate your requirements. Unfortunately, many people discover the hard way that they have been hoodwinked by SEO firms who do not deliver what they promise. This often leaves them mistrustful of any company offering SEO services. In Herefordshire where there are several SEO and SEM firms many of which are completely reputable, there are also some less reputable firms who will talk the talk and then fail to deliver anything, so any company who is looking for SEO or SEM experts should ensure that they do a bit of research before engaging a firm to work with. Every SEO and SEM company have a different approach to conducting business and achieving results for customers. As in most other business sectors, a particular sector can become flooded with supply businesses and some will then specialize or diversify in order to remain viable and secure a share of t b50 he market. When you conduct your research you will find that there will be many companies offering comprehensive services and some who offer only specialized services. Much depends upon what you hope to achieve from any campaigns you plan to run as to whether you use a jack of all trades company or a highly specialist one. This is something you will need to discuss with the SEO/SEM company. The main thing to be aware of, is the care and attention given to you by the SEO firm you engage. One of the most common obstacles is that smaller companies can be neglected or receive less attention than larger ones because they do not have the same buying power and are therefore not considered to be worthwhile. On the other hand, a good SEO company is one that looks after your company's needs and contacts you regularly to update you on progress or changes that need to be made. They are also available to talk to you when you phone or call upon them. The management of an SEO/SEM company indicates the sort of results you are likely to achieve and the attention your company will be given. As the SEO industry is constantly evolving, there are many levels of standards in dealing with decisions or problems and this is something else you will need to take into account when choosing a company to act for you. Doing your research and taking care with attention to detail is the best way of finding the right SEO/SEM company for you. Word of mouth is the best way of securing good service, but if this is not possible, read carefully any information that is available on what services are available and what policies are in force. Ask lots of pertinent questions, do not be fobbed off with blurb or technical jargon, any company worth its salt will be willing to take time to explain all aspects of their services and policies and should be happy to ensure that you understand what they are talking about. Remember, you are interviewing them and will be paying for a service, so it is important that you are happy with the people you are going to be working with.
On September 30, 2004, the international prescription
drug company Merck announced the recall of its
arthritis and pain medication Rofecoxib, sold
under the brand name Vioxx, because a study showed
an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
|
|
| The
study that led to the recall of Vioxx showed that
patients regularly taking Vioxx faced twice the
risk of a heart attack compared to patients not
taking Vioxx. Vioxx users with a history of cardiovascular
issues were at a five-fold increased risk. |

| Vioxx
Lawsuit and Vioxx Class Action |
| Families
of Vioxx patients, including clients of Lieff Cabraser,
who have died and patients who have suffered severe injuries
from heart attacks or strokes after having ingested Vioxx
for an extended period have filed lawsuits against Merck.
|
| The
Vioxx lawsuits allege that Merck falsely promoted the
safety of Vioxx and failed to disclose the full range
of the drug's dangerous side effects. |
| On
October 6, 2004, the Wall Street Journal reported
that the drug Vioxx may have led to more than 27,000 heart
attacks and sudden cardiac deaths before it was pulled
from the market, citing an unreleased study by government
regulators. The estimate of deaths were based on findings
from an analysis of a database of patients of Kaiser Permanente,
one of largest health-maintenance organizations in the
U.S. |
| On
November 4, 2004, the British medical journal The Lancet
published a study that concluded Merck and federal officials
should have withdrawn the painkiller Vioxx from the market
as early as 2000 because studies of the drug had clearly
shown that it doubled the risk of heart attacks among
users. |
| Legal
Background: The Rights of Patients Injured by Prescription
Drugs |
| The
law in most states provides several personal injury claims
for persons who have been seriously injured by a prescription
drug with dangerous, undisclosed side effects. These claims
include strict liability for a defective product, breach
of warranty, negligence, and misrepresentation. Persons
living outside the U.S. who have been injured by a product
manufactured in the U.S. may also in certain cases file
lawsuits for compensation for injuries in U.S. courts. |
| Damages
sought against manufacturers of an allegedly dangerous
prescription drug typically include: |
- Physical
pain and suffering, mental anguish and physical impairment;
- Medical
expenses associated with the allegedly defective product;
and
- Loss
of earnings and/or earning capacity.
|
| For
persons who have died, family members can bring a wrongful
death action. |

"Merck's
Vioxx Liability Could Reach $38 Billion,"
Forbes, Dec. 3, 2004
The legal liability to Merck for the withdrawn
arthritis drug Vioxx could be huge, according
to Richard Evans, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein.
If all the patients who had heart attacks as a
result of taking Vioxx were to receive an average-sized
legal settlement, Evans wrote in a research report,
Merck's liability could reach $38 billion.
