Risky Rx: Drug maker's secret strategies
By Robert Bazell

"We know that physicians meet a parade of drug company sales representatives from their first days of medical school to retirement and that they see drug ads every time they pick up a medical journal.

At least that is represented as the advertising it is.

But a study in this week's issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine provides extensive detail about how drug companies push their products in far more subtle ways.

Some drug makers pay key leaders in a field of medicine, such as chairs of departments in medical schools, tens of thousands of dollars if they are saying the right things about their product. They manipulate medical education sessions, lectures, articles in medical journals, research studies, even personal conversations between physicians to get their product message across.

"It is very disturbing," says lead author Dr. Michael Steinman of the University of California, San Francisco and the San Francisco VA Hospital. "It really does a disservice to patient care."




The more I read on the medical system, the more I become uneasy. Just as long and I don’t get sick or injured, I’ll be fine.

I personally am not offended by the cartoon. I haven’t seen it but have read about its content and it does not bother me on a personal level. I understand Islam and I know Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and how could some ppl who have no knowledge of either form a cartoon image of representing it? They don’t know what he looks like and have no clue of who he is? Yes it is deemed offensive to Muslims and that’s alrigt. The cartoon purpose was to mock Islam and the last prophet and be taken offensively.
The idea of stopping imported products from certain countries into Denmark was a good idea. You would be a fool to help others who end up disrespect your beliefs. One reason why I did not like the cartoon from the beginning is that it has a major influence of spreading Islamaphobia and hatred towards Islam and it's followers. But what’s actually spreading the fear and disgust against Islam are the actions of uneducated, ignorant and foolish Muslims who insists on death threats towards an entire nation, insists on burning down of diplomatic missions and the murder of those who have no relation to the cartoonist. Here is a reminder for those who agree with those acts. “During the life of the Prophet Muhammad he was faced with numerous instances where he was mistreated. From the severity of the way the people in Taif attacked and abused the Prophet with stones leaving him to bleed, to the instances where people spoke negatively about Islam. Did the Prophet threaten them with death? Did he encourage us to burn their houses down? Leaving Taif with bleeding legs, he told the Angel of the Mountains who offered to kill the people of Taif to leave them alone, in the hope that some of their off spring may accept Islam. This historic account alone, unequivocal in its authenticity, illustrates the way we should respond to those who wish to tarnish or harm Islam.”
Just take the cartoon as a reflection of how ignorant and stereotypical some people are with thier very limited knowledge of Islam. And even Laugh at it. Humor had always played an important part in the life of the early Muslims and throughout the period of Islam especially with Prophet Muhammed (Peace and Blessings be upon him).

This blog space is too pretty to leave unattended. I have a lot to say about many issues/subjects, the deal is figuring what to write about.
I have a question for everyone who reads this entry and i hope u reply with an answer. Ok...What gives you self worth?? Meaning, do u rely on others approval or validation to make ur life have importance? Of course we all do want to feel loved and feel that we belong but there r stages in life where u r alone and have to fend for urself. But how about if u r alone or feel alone. Do u not exist?? Just reply and lets see what happens. Looking forward to your comments.

PS I tried to post it on Discussion Board but failed.There'd been some technical problems.

There is an article in The Moscow Times (October 11) about students killed in Voronezh (a city located 580 kilometres south of Moscow).A group of young men stabbed and beat one Spanish and two Peruvian students.One of the Peruvians, a first-year student, died on the way to the hospital.The other Peruvian was hospitalised with a concussion and was in stable condition.Spanish national was hospitalised with a concussion and also was in stable condition.

Why do people do this? Do people have nothing to do with their own lives and that's their own peculiar way to pop up?

pls post your thoughts

As were previously covered, according to Islamic teachings, the earth and universe have been around for a long time. It is clearly stated in the Qur’an that one reason why Allah made us intelligent and attentive to our surrounding is so that we can discover the wonders of the natural splendor of the world around us. Allah provided us with the task to investigate and explore all that He created.
Islam teaches us that Allahs creation is vast beyond our comprehension. The more we explore and learn about the earth and universe around us, the more we will come to believe in Allah.
Allah said: “Behold! In the creation of space and the earth in the changing if night into day are indeed signs for people understanding. Those who remember Allah standing, sitting and laying down, and contemplate the (wonders) of creation in space and the earth. (They declare,) “Our Lord! You didn’t create all of this. So save us from the punishment of the fire.” (3:190-191)
Therefore, science certainly increases our faith. For hundred of years, people have been finding fossils, bones and ancient artifacts which point to a hidden past we don’t know much about.
We know the earth existed long before the appearance of humans. Allah says, “Wasn’t there a long period of time before humans were even mentioned?”
We also know from the geological timeline that the earth went through many ages before we came to existence. In the ayat (verse) that mentions this proof of Allah, we are given a strong clue about the adaptability of life forms to their environments.
The Qur’an stated, “Don’t you see that Allah sends rain from the sky? With it We produce plants of various colors. And in the mountains are colored layers, white and red of various tones and some black in hue. And so to among humans and crawling creatures and cattle. They are of various colors. Those among Allah’s servants who have knowledge truly fear Him, for Allah is mighty and Forgiving.”
We agree with scientist that declares the existence of self-replicating/self-producing organisms. The concept of dinosaurs, trilobites and ancient algae’s does not go against our beliefs. Rather, it confirms the power of Allah. The Qur’an states, “He has created horses and mules for you to ride and show; and He has created other (creatures) that you do not know.” (16:8)
“Allah created every creature from water. Of them are some that creep in their bellies, some that walk on two legs and some that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills for He has power over all things. We have indeed sent signs that make things clear and Allah guides whom He wills to the straight way.” (24:45-46)
Quick summary, in Islam we know of the existence before we were created. We are encouraged to explore the natural wonders of this earth. We are accepting and support scientific findings to help us better understand our world, our life, and our Lord.

Why does Allah tell about the Creation of the Universe, which happened too long ago?
Allah knows us best and is aware that humans are very skeptical creatures. In the Qur’an, He states “…if you were to seek a tunnel into the earth or a ladder into the skies and bring them a sign, (they still wouldn’t be convinced.) If it were Allahs’ will. He could gather them all to true guidance, do don’t be amongst those who are influenced by ignorance.” (6:35)
So Allah made it a point to supply us with many proofs in the Qur’an about His existence. We need proof and Allah has given us Proof.
Allah of course is not in need of us to follow Him or believe in Him. “Allah can do without them and Allah is free from all needs.” (64:6) He merely advises that people would choose to believe in Him so He can reward them for the way they carried their lives. Allah is ready to forgive even those who acted wrongly if they genuinely ask for his forgiveness and try hard not to repeat the same mistake. In a Hadith, it states that “When Allah decreed the creation (of the Universe,) He set down His book which his with Him, ‘Indeed, My mercy is stronger than My wrath.’”

The process of creation can be summarized as follows: All matter in the universe was compacted together in one place. Then Allah gave the commanded and it blew apart scattering molecules and gases in all directions. (The Big Bang.) The force of this initial explosion keeps the universe expanding.
Space was filled with matter, anti-matter and gases which eventually combined into larger particles. These bits of matter eventually grew into asteroids, planets, stars and moons.
Each object of inter-space conformed to a set of physical laws which governed the trajectory of their orbits so a regular pattern of rotation could be seen. (21:33, 29:61)
Stars ignite in a fury of radioactive fusion and gave off light and heat which brought warmth to those these planets nearby. (86:3) Small moons were captured in the orbit of larger planets and came to have regular orbit around them, often reflecting light from the sun. (54:1-2)
Finally the planets themselves developed and formed in a variety of ways with fantastic geologic formations and movements both above and below the surface. (27:61)
The planet earth, in particular, cooled near its outer layer, forming a thin rust made up of plates that moved and grated against each other. (15:19) This allowed the earth’s surface to constantly erase the damage caused by occasional asteroids impacts. But the colliding of plates also has its; side effect of rising tall mountains and exposing the geologic history of the planet.
Escaping gases from the ground and water, warmed in the sunlight, eventually raised to a high altitude where they formed a protective layer. This Ozone Layer shielded out harmful radiation and ultraviolet rays from the sun. After a time, life was to appear but that is the topic for another update. For now, it is amazing that this scientific narrative is almost exactly the same as what Allah revealed in the Qur’an.

It is absolutely amazing and I can only proclaim my marvel at Allah’s Revelations. Remember, He mentioned these things to teach us to be believers in Him. If He tells us the truth, we would be fools not to do so. Correct?

We previously covered what Islam and who Allah is. Briefly, Islam is not a religion but is a complete way of life that follows the consistent natural flow of the world and Universe. It is in harmony with the natural order of nature and existence.
Allah, a Being who is beyond our limited intellectual capacity, created the Universe Billions of Years ago. He had created natural laws and functions of matter and orders according to His will. By this, we can state that the entire Universe is Muslim. It is surrendered to Allah’s’ will. In certain galaxies on certain planets at some point, Allah permitted living organisms to develop. One particular planet, Earth, came to exist a very complex ecosystem. After some time , Allah created Human beings on that planet Earth. They were willed to be like no other creature before them. They would posses far more intellect and free will. No cat, dog, fish, frog, monkey nor tree can function in any other way than that of its own natural instincts and tendencies. Humans, however, would be given the choice of how to live their lives. They had the ability to defy their instincts and natural tendencies to whatever they please. But, with this free will came consequences. Allah created this universe free of disorder and chaos. In the development of human societies, people have the choice to either conform to the values of order and peace or to fulfill their nasty desires to cause destruction and follow their raw natural instincts. Humans have the choice weather to utilize that intellect and free will to do better for mankind or low themselves to the level of a beast.
The way of life Allah wants humans to choose is one which Humans use their intellect and emotions to search for facts about Allah and the entire Universe. And to hold a firm brotherhood with whom coexists. There must be no anger, hatred, violence and greed against your fellow brother. All foul emotions and actions must be controlled and eliminated.

This is enough for now. I know, I know. Many of you are shaking your heads telling yourselves that this isn't the Islam that you see. I can not speak on behalf of all Muslims but I can definitely speak on behalf of Islam. And what I witness around the globe and even in my own "Muslim" society is not Islam. I do not blame anyone who has the wrong impression about Islam but you should know better. Judge Islam by its book. Judge any religion or way of life by it's text because certainly texts do not change and shows you what the object of it’s existence since it’s beginning. People are surely not always the best example to illustrate what their way of life is. If you have any questions, PLEASE do not hesitate to ask. Am open and always willing to respond to what ever question, concerns, or curiosities you may have. Take care

Hey everyone, Am back. It’s been a while but I just moved back home and is ready to write more about whatever comes to mind about Islam or whatever I feel like discussing at the time. Some updates may be longer then others. Always feel free to post any questions, comments, or concerns.

Now, Islam. What is Islam?

Islam is the name of a way of life. The name Islam means, among other things, peace, purity, submission and obedience. In short, peace and surrender. The definition means that when you surrender your will to Allah you will find peace in your soul.

What is a Muslim?

A Muslim is a self-surrendered one who is attaining peace. Muslims are only the followers of the of Islam. Not “Mohammedans.”

Who is Allah?

Allah, a Being Who is beyond our puny comprehension. He is the creator of all things. He is the all knower, all see-er. In Arabic, the word God is Allah. Allah isn’t only used by just Muslims, also I know of Christian Arabs who uses the same term referring to their God. Allah is one and unique. He has neither partner nor equal. He is the sole creator and sustainer of the entire universe. He is the God without whom no affairs are accomplished, and to whom lordship ultimately pertains. All creatures stand in need of Him, but he stands in need of none. He is omnipotent, the omniscient. Whose knowledge comprehends in the most perfect manner all things, hidden or evident. But he is far greater than to be encompassed but the knowledge of his creatures. His unbounded mercy is far greater then any. Allah’s justice ensures order in the universe, which has no defect. There is no one to share his domain, nor does he take aid or support from His creatures. He is the God of all worlds. Yet, He is nearer to a man then mans’ jugular vein.

Islam is based on the following Five Pillars:

~ 1. (Shahaadah)
~ 2. (Salat)
~ 3. (Zakat)
~ 4. (Saum)
~ 5. (Hajj)


Shahadah

The testification of Faith. To testify: “Ashadu an la illa Allah wa ashadu anna Mohammadan Rasulullah”, “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Mohammed is the Messenger of Allah.” This statement is necessary for anyone to be a Muslim. Whether you are a born Muslim or a convert (revert) to Islam. By stating so, one should strive hard thereafter to act according to this decree.

Salat

Five daily prayers.
~ The first prayer is ‘Fajir’ and it contains two Rak’aats {units}. It may be performed between dawn and sunrise.
~ The second prayer is ‘Duhur’ and it contains four Rak’aats. Can be performed right at the afternoon.
~ The third prayer is ‘Asr’ and this one contains also four Rak’aats. It is performed later in the afternoon.
~ The fourth ‘Magrib.’ This particular prayer is the only one which consists of three Ra’kaats. It is performed right at sunset.
~ The fifth and final prayer is ‘Isha.’ Consists of four Ra’kaats and is performed after the suns redness disappears from the horizon.
All prayers MUST be preceded by Wudu, which is, in brief, the washing of the hands, face, forearms and the feet.

Zakat

The word Islam is usually translated as “poor-due” or “charity.” But the words literally means, “To make clean; to make pure.” But how is that linked to the concept of charity? Quiet simple, the world and everything within it has the potential to distract us from our primary duty in life, to surrender our self to Allah. Money and worldly things causes greed, selfishness, jealousy, hatred, and all of that sort. Therefore, when we are made to let go of some of our worldly possessions, we are forcing ourselves to let go of some of the material things we love. “O you who believe! Don’t let your riches or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. If any do so then the loss is their own.” (63:9) By taking part in Zakat, our souls indeed. The forces of greed are put in check. The spirit of Islam is at its best when we learn to give freely for Allah’s sake.

Saum

Fasting, the fourth pillar of Islam. During the month of Ramadan, which is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar lunar calendar. Every Muslim who meets certain requirements is required to fast. We all need food to survive but many abuse this act and ‘live only to eat’. They let their animals instincts take over them. Fasting is a way to train our stomachs to obey our mind.

Hajj

“And Hajj [pilgrimage to Mecca] to the House [Ka’bah] it is a duty that mankind owes to Allah, those who can afford the expenses”
This just means that if you can afford transportation expenses, food and residence expenses and has no reason such as any illness to prevent them, they should attend Hajj at least once in a life time.


This is enough for now. Just the basics of Islam. Will go further into the pillars when in future updates as we go along.

Два месяца прошло с тех пор, как я последний раз писала Дневник. А что нового? Апрель... Неделю, как в реалити-шоу, следила за перемещениями своего любимого по Центральной России. Интресная штука, телефон! Главное, рассчитать разницу часовых поясов и не ошибиться, где ночь, а где день... =)
МАй... Первомайская демонстрация. Кстати НИГДЕ в России больше такого нет ! Ни в одном городе! Только у нас... толпы людей с шариками, флажками, радостными криками и бутылками на Соборной площади.. Некультурно, но весело! Что поделать.. =)
9-е мая. Потрясающе... эти люди дожили до 60-летия Победы!!! Это ОНИ, они тогда в 45-м праздновали возвращение домой, ту самую первую победу, а сейчас я... только 60 лет спустя... Чувсвуешь себя песчинкой в истории громады по имени Россия. И гордишься тем, что в ней родился!
Промежуточная аттестация в университете. ВСе плюсики. По всем предметам. Даже противно. Никакой оригинальности. Хотя.. денежное вознаграждение за примерную учебу стоило того, чтобы честно приходить на пары и отвечать на семинарах!
Сейчас. Последняя учебная неделя в этом учебном году. Последняя первая пара... История. Нам рассказывали, как при Брежнева разваливали страну. Мда.. а сейчас что ли лучше? =)
Вот и вся жизнь за эти 2 месяца. Такая странно: живешь, живешь, а все умещается в каких-то жалких строчках на экране монитора... Так и вся жизнь сожмется до записанного CD, где будет краткая биография, фотки и воспоминания друзей...
Не! Я не пессимист.... просто что-то настроение такое.. лирическое... Сессия ведь скоро... =)
