Correction--
It's just a bad news day here--first I can't get a tech writing job because my writing tool skills are too old, and my web skills too young. Then I find out the stock I bought from a start-up six years ago is worthless, so I get a deduction on my taxes. Now this--I sincerely hope trouble does come in threes, because I'm done now.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- The arthritis drug Vioxx, used by millions of people around the world, is being pulled off the market after a study confirmed long-standing concerns that it raises the risk of heart attack and stroke, the manufacturer, Merck & Co., said today.
"Patients who are currently taking Vioxx should contact their health care providers to discuss discontinuing use of Vioxx and possible alternative treatments," Merck said.
