I hate to end the week on a bit of a downer, but sometimes I just have to. At least, it’s depressing to anyone who is a proponent of science-based cancer care as the strategy most likely to decrease the death rate from cancer and improve quality of life for cancer patients. Unfortunately, in enoughOn 4 April 2013 (0700 GMT) all Bengali blogs went to a blackout for indefinite time to protest against the arrest of 4 bloggers in Bangladesh. These blogs and bloggers want unconditional release of those arrested bloggers.A fundamentalist group named Hefajat-e-Islam Bangladesh have started countrywide campaign to hang freetahinking bloggers, and they want tough blasphemy law. In response to this, the government have started monitoring Bengali blog sites and sent letters to their authorities to terminate the alleged "anti-religious" blogs and provide information about the alleged "anti-religious" bloggers.[5]Individual bloggers show their solidarity with this blackout by changing their profile photos on Facebook and by twitting with #MuzzleMeNot hash tag.[1] Different international organizations have expaaressed deep concern about taking freethinking bloggers into cust After hours long blackout, blogs returned online by publishing a press release on their central Facebook pageFrom the beginning of the shahbag protest, bloggers came out on street to demand capital punishment of Abdul Quader Molla, a war criminal of Bangladesh liberation war and a leader of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami. During the protests, Ahmed Rajib Haider, a blogger who was critical of Jamaat-e-Islami, was killed by few Jamaat activists. Afterwards, a Jamaat backed Islamic fundamentalist organization started violent protest demanding death penalty for all allegedly "anti-Islamic" bloggers, and they termed all participants of shahbag movement as atheist. The spokesperson of Shahbag movement Imran H. Sharkar said, Hifazat-e-Islam is desperate to thwart the war crimes trial and the process of banning Jamaat-e-Islami.Afterwards, the government of Bangladesh started monitoring on blogosphere and sent letters to the Bengali blog authorities to terminate the alleged "anti-religious" blogs and to provide information penalty about the alleged "anti-religious" bloggers.
On the night of 1 April 2013, three bloggers were arrested by the detective branch police. Blogger Rasel Pervez, a science teacher in profession, and Mashiur Rahman Biplob were arrested on 1 April 2013 from their house. Subrata Adhikari Shuvo, who is a masters student of Bengali department at University of Dhaka, was also arrested on the same day from his university dormitory.Another blogger Asif Mohiuddin was called to police station on 3 April 2013, and when he went there, he was arrested .[ Earlier, theBangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission forced the Bengali blog somewhereinblog,net to remove all writings of Asif Mohiuddin. The move was criticized by the Human Rights WatchAfter yesterday, I really hadn’t planned on writing about Angelina Jolie and her decision to undergo bilateral mastectomies again, except perhaps as a more serious piece next week on my not-so-super-secret other blog where The Name of the Doctor is revealed on a weekly basis. As I mentioned yesterday, there are a number of issueI should have known it. I should have known that the reaction wouldn’t take very long. I should have known it based on prior history. The news story to which I am referring is, of course, the revelation yesterday in the New York Times editorial page by Angelina Jolie that she had decided to undergoI’m not alone in pointing this out, but if there’s one thing about research and clinical trials into “complementary and alternative medicine” (CAM) that has become very apparent to me over the years, it’s that the more rigorous the study the less likely it is to show an effect. In normal research, the usual progressionSometimes blogging topics arise from the strangest places. It’s true.
