What is the Muslim response to those couples who decide to live without children. Also, I would request you to mention some reasons due to which these couples willingly opt for living their lives without children.
asked May 02 '13 at 15:25 shujaxxx 10●1●6
The only reason I see why they would not have a baby is if the wife is baren or havi g a baby will cause her difficulty
Having a lot of children is something that is encouraged in Islam and the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) urged Muslims to do that. Abu Dawood (2050) narrated that Ma'qil ibn Yazaar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A man came to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allaah, I have found a woman who is from a good family and is beautiful, but she does not bear children; should I marry her?" He told him not to. Then he came to him a second time and said something similar and he told him not to marry her. Then he came to him a third time and said something similar and he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Marry the one who is loving and fertile, for I will be proud of your great numbers."
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa' al-Ghaleel, 1784.
Hence the couple should be keen to have a lot of children and be happy about that and show gratitude for the blessing that Allah has bestowed upon them.
It is permissible to delay having children for a certain amount of time if that serves an interest, such as if the woman is weak or sick. But it is not permissible to do that for fear of poverty or for fear of raising the children, because that implies thinking negatively of Allah, may He be exalted.
It says in a statement of the Islamic Fiqh Council belonging to the Muslim World League: The Islamic Fiqh Council affirms unanimously that it is not permissible to limit the number of children in general and it is not permissible to prevent pregnancy if the reason for doing that is fear of poverty, because Allah is the Provider and Owner of great power, and there is no living creature on earth but its provision is due from Allah, or if that is for other reasons that are not acceptable according to sharee'ah.

Can anyone suggest me a Ruby Source Editor and/or an IDE for the Windows platform? Thanks.
Bad news: at this point they all suck, at least on Windows.
Good news: There are a couple of options that are starting to suck less than before.
RadRails is based on the Eclipse platform and is only at version 0.3 but it's coming along nicely as a Rails IDE.
Arachno Ruby from Scriptolutions is fairly well developed for a 0.6 product, but I have my doubts about a company that was developing PHP/Python tools just a few months ago and stops all development on those to work on a Ruby IDE just cause it's the hot new thing.
Finally, if you're a Dreamweaver type there is the Rubyweaver extension that's supposed to get you Ruby/Rails support, but it didn't work for me when I tried to install it under Dreamweaver 8 so your mileage may vary.
I like jEdit...I don't see any need for a full blown IDE to work with Ruby or Rails.
I'm not a big jEdit fan (because I've used it for Java in the past :\) but it is way better than SCiTE in my opinion :)Quote:

there's only one Ruby plugin for Eclipse, RubyEclipse which sucks badly IMHO. The overhead of loading Eclipse just to get basic syntax highlighting is not worth it, SciTE is much better(1 second flat loading time on my PC), its small, fast, low on resources/memory & has syntax highlighting, & its better than FreeRIDE as well, which is incidently written in Ruby, which is both heavy & slow!!Quote:

Thanks guys for your comments.
If you are happy with a commercial editor, look at jEdit. It can do Ruby syntax highlighting if you can find the word file on it's site. I use this for most of my work.
Failing that, Look at notepad2,
This version has ruby syntax highlighting, and if you are only working on a few files, this is a good free alternative.
Another thing I use is Notepad++. I'm not to mad on this as the interface is a bit clumsy and it doesn't like =begin =end comments. However I use this to edit rhtml templates and UltraEdit to edit solid code. You wanna use python syntax highlighing in Notepad++, and make sure all the fonts are set the same size.
I used to use jEdit when I worked on the Mac. Textmate is also good on the mac, but I perfered jedit due to the PC shortcut keys. Kate works well on Linux if you don't mind KDE.
I'm sorry, I have to insert the obligatory plug for vim at this point. Probably not what allot of web developers think of when looking for an IDE, but it has allot going for it.
1. will probably be installed on whatever box your running rails/ruby on by default
2. ruby syntax highlighting
3. good regular expression support
4. all the rest of the stuff that makes vim a good editor.
I apologize in advance for being a fanboy. It's really the regexp support that won me over in the end. Eventually I'll take the time to learn the scripting language built into the thing. I've also heard that there is a ruby scripting interface. I don't know much about it though, however that might be reason number 5, can be scripted using ruby.
Anyone know if there are any Ruby syntax files for EditPlus yet? I checked the Edit Plus site but didnt find any ... just wondering if anyone had found one elsewhere.

Nah seen that one (and tried it) ..... no goodQuote:

Take a look at the Ruby language file that I made for my WordPress plugin/GeSHi(attached). You can take the keywords/function names from it to start with(the are quite a number of them, not all, but not less either) & add them to the EditPlus language file!! :)Quote:

The next version of Komodo should support ruby, there is a beta available for testing. I haven't tried the beta but Komodo is pretty good for php.
I've used RadRails. It ain't perfect, but some parts work.
I tried Komodo some time back & it wasn't that great as its touted as!! Zend Studio is best for PHP development IMHO!! :)Quote:

It also has syntax highlighting and its a really nice fast app, its in java and I am assuming it is off of the eclipse project but its nice. It creates file structures for you and everything, no more terminal / command
I find SciTe most conformant with ruby's "simple is better" principle. The recent version 1.66 has a new improved ruby syntax highlighter.
Yeah but I can't stand having an Explorer window open as my project file viewer and I hate having 30 different SCiTE windows open when I'm working on a bunch of them. That and Verdana's a horrible code font ;)Quote:

But it is a good option for ruby development with RDT. And you can use JSP highlight for .rhtml files.
I'm not going to advocate scite here, but the last two things are customizable and easy to change. The project window is a nice one to have, although with my custom "Open file at cursor" and "Find def at cursor" functions I don't miss it that much. I don't do any heavy ruby development though...Quote:

Also placing fourth at the section meet was West High senior Ernest Turner, whose mark of 46-2 in the triple jump was 4.5 inches behind the third-place qualifier.
Three local runners competed in the championship heats of their respective track events. Kimball High senior Derek Van de Streek placed fifth in the boys 400 (49.20), Tracy High sophomore Nate Jones placed fifth in the boys 100 (11.18) and West High senior Eddie Kaye was eighth in the boys 200 (23.73).

|Danilo Gallinari, SF 34 MIN | 10-17 FG | 3-6 FT | 5 REB | 2 AST | 0 STL | 4 BLK | 3 TO | 27 PTS | +8
This was one of Gallo's best games on the season. He was efficient and played excellent defense, evident by his four blocks on the night. He also hit countless big shot, four of which came from downtown with a hand in his face. I've often said one of the true marks of a star is his ability to hit tough shots with consistency; and while Gallo is by no means a star, he's hitting tougher shots with more frequency as the season progresses. If nothing else, he's the Nuggets star at the moment.
|Kenneth Faried, SF 33 MIN | 6-8 FG | 7-8 FT | 9 REB | 1 AST | 2 STL | 0 BLK | 2 TO | 19 PTS | +14
This was weird. I was watching Faried all game. He was playing with high energy, as usual. He was getting to the line and scored a bucket here and there. Then all of a sudden I looked up and he had 19 points. I couldn't figure it out. I guess it goes to show just how effective he can be when he brings it on a consistent basis and doesn't back down.
|Kosta Koufos, C 20 MIN | 3-3 FG | 0-0 FT | 4 REB | 1 AST | 1 STL | 2 BLK | 2 TO | 6 PTS | -5
Koufos was pretty standard. He came in when the Nuggets needed a defensive presence up front and did his job.
|Ty Lawson, PG 33 MIN | 4-12 FG | 7-8 FT | 3 REB | 4 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | 16 PTS | +1
Lawson was incredibly passive for three quarters of the game. He wasn't driving or shooting with the type of confidence we've seen of late, yet he still managed to finish the game with 16 points. It wasn't his best outing, but he was influential late in the game when the Nuggets rallied for a huge fourth quarter lead.
|Andre Iguodala, SG 37 MIN | 5-13 FG | 4-6 FT | 5 REB | 6 AST | 2 STL | 0 BLK | 6 TO | 15 PTS | -7
Take away the six missed 3-pointers and Iguodala has another excellent outing. His defense on Harden was great — that's to be expected — and for most of the game he played well on offense. But there was a stretch where he took one three after another, all of which clanked hard against the rim and had no chance of going in. Just to clarify: Iguodala is shooting .312 percent from downtown on the season. It would be nice to see him ease up on the long-distance shots every now and then.
|Corey Brewer, SF 20 MIN | 2-8 FG | 4-7 FT | 1 REB | 1 AST | 0 STL | 1 BLK | 1 TO | 9 PTS | +4
Brewer had a rough night shooting but his defense and energy was there. That's about all you can ask for. He did a nice job of getting out on the break too.
|Timofey Mozgov, C 13 MIN | 3-3 FG | 1-1 FT | 4 REB | 0 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 2 TO | 7 PTS | -2
I continue to be amazed at the phenomenon that is Timofey Mozgov. He's been in the league for three years now, yet often looks like he arrived last week. He'll go from shooting an air ball to knocking down a nothing-but-net 10-foot jumper in the span of a few plays. He's improved, but he's also remained inept in more ways than one. Nevertheless, he sets solid picks and plays the best man defense of any big on the Nuggets roster. That's worth something. Let's just hope another team realizes this so that he can get to playing and Anthony Randolph can get to being the rightful backup power forward on the Nuggets roster — like he deserves to be.
|Andre Miller, PG 25 MIN | 6-9 FG | 0-0 FT | 3 REB | 5 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | 12 PTS | +22
Miller drives me up a wall; yet I love his game so much. This is the story of my grading experience with him. Against the Rockets he sagged off his opponent way too much and played lazy defense in general, but he also had 12 huge points and controlled the offense like the true veteran that he is. Did I mention his 12 buckets were big?
|Wilson Chandler, SG 25 MIN | 3-9 FG | 0-0 FT | 6 REB | 1 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 2 TO | 7 PTS | +5
If we know anything about Wilson Chandler it's this: He's a good rebounder, he plays hard on defense and he also takes one too many awful shots. I love his tenacity on defense and the way he goes after loose balls, but somebody has to take him aside and teach him the art of shooting in rhythm and in the flow of the offense.
|George Karl
I will continue to stand by my mantra: winning matters most. I don't care how it happens. The fact is, at the end of the game you either win or you lose and right now the Nuggets are winning. I did not understand why they decided to switch on defense. That was a game-plan that clearly backfired. Also, the Nuggets defense in general was bad. Giving up 110 points to anybody is unacceptable. But Karl clearly got to his team before the fourth quarter started because the Nuggets came out with a vengeance and energy that we've only seen the likes of several times this season. If the Nuggets play more consistent on defense and don't switch as much, Karl would likely be getting an A here.

The Paradox of Thrift
By Don Kuehn
Not long ago, commentators were lamenting the profligate spending and low savings rates in the United States. In the third quarter of 2005 savings actually hit an all-time low of negative 0.5 percent. Consumers were dipping into savings or, more likely, taking on substantial debt to finance their lifestyles. In most cases, that was fueled by a rising stock market and consumers' belief that the value of their houses was going to continue to go up and up and up.
More recently, in the fourth quarter of 2008 savings hit a level not seen since 2001: a positive rate of almost 3 percent. Why the turnaround? There's fear in the air.
Just about every indicator in the economy has gone south. The housing bubble has burst after a run of scandalous lending practices; jobs have been cut in almost every sector of the economy; the "over-stored" situation in many parts of the country—where new strip malls and shopping hubs have popped up seemingly overnight—has peaked and begun to ebb; retirement accounts have lost a decade of growth; friends, family members and neighbors have seen their hours cut back or their jobs eliminated. It's not a pretty sight.
Out of fear, and in anticipation that it could continue to get worse, Americans are gradually trimming debt levels, paying off credit balances and hoping that the recession will somehow slip right by.
But "saving for a rainy day" can actually bring on more rain. That's part of the paradox of thrift: Saving is good unless we all save too much.
Keep in mind that consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of the U.S. economy. As savings increase, less money is spent on consumer goods and services. Demand shrinks. That puts pressure on manufacturers and retailers to lower their prices in an effort to get people to spend.
As an example, consider the Christmas holiday season in the retail sector. By early October, it seems as if every store already is advertising Christmas merchandise. A few early shoppers aside, when goods don't fly off the shelves, the pre-holiday sales start. We all know they're coming, so why buy at full retail? Why not wait? The closer to the big holiday, the deeper the mark-downs as retailers try to entice shoppers into their stores. But as tempting as those low prices and deep discounts might be, the savvy shopper knows that the biggest sales are the days after Christmas ... so why buy early, even when the sales seem too good to be true?
As shoppers "stay away in droves," the retail sector (which depends on holiday revenues for as much as 60 percent of its annual profits) sweats out the season. Gift cards have become the alternative of choice for those who want to give a gift, but want to get the most for their dollars. Instead of getting Uncle Fred that new golf shirt or Aunt Mary that new skillet, you give gift cards so they can buy what they want at even deeper discounts after the New Year. That takes a serious toll on stores that need to move merchandise.
Now, theoretically, low prices seem like a good thing, except when they are a reflection of stress in the business cycle. When demand dries up, inventories build to unacceptable levels, which forces businesses to lay off workers or close plants and stores. Fear spreads through the economy. This leads to greater reluctance on the part of consumers to consume, so they save a little harder and buy a little less. Logically, that also means more unemployment.
Taken to the extreme, the result is deflation—a condition of persistent decreases in prices brought on by reduced personal and government spending and investment.
In the first few months of 2009, we have seen a steady rise in the number of first-time jobless claims climbing above 600,000 a month. The "official" unemployment rate has topped 8.1 percent. The total number of citizens collecting unemployment benefits is more than 6 million. When you add in the underemployed, the so-called discouraged workers, and those who have exhausted their benefits, the number is closer to 11.6 million.
For public employees, jobs assumed to be secure are less so because the tax revenues that pay those salaries come from stable to growing property values and employment taxes. States and school districts across the nation are cutting budgets, issuing notices of layoffs and nonrenewal, and cutting general services.
The chances that this recession is going to last for quite some time are pretty good. Even President Obama has cautioned that things may get worse before they get better. But we have at least the first legs of a stimulus/recovery plan in place and some very bright people working to reboot the economy.
I'm not advocating a return to the era of spending as recreation, and I have always stressed the concept of establishing a reasonable cushion of savings (at least six months of normal expenses) and living below your means.
But after that, it's OK to buy stuff. It's good for the economy to take advantage of the low prices that exist in virtually every sector of the marketplace. There are also real bargains in the stock markets for those who have a distant horizon ahead. Prices may go lower before they turn around, but one day we will look back and see that this period was one of the greatest buying opportunities in our lifetimes-for stocks, for homes, for cars.
What does that mean for you? If you were never an investor before, it means you can make up for lost time by buying today at 1995 prices. You can get a jump-start on an investment portfolio by educating yourself about no-load mutual funds and the markets in general. It means researching how you can build a balanced portfolio of funds to make your long-term goals a reality.
It's okay to use some of that cash you have parked on the sidelines and get into the stock market. Maybe not today, maybe not this week; but if you wait until you think the market will recover, it probably already has.
As for me, I don't plan on spending all of my next annual folio of columns wringing my hands and lamenting the fix we've gotten into. I know the "Serenity Prayer," and this is one of those things I can't do anything about. But I can take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves.
I know it's your money, and with fear in the air it's easy to pull back and to think that putting off spending is the right thing to do. But consider the paradox of thrift: The more you save, the more money is taken out of circulation and the worse the recession can get. Savings is a virtue ... until it isn't.

The small, luxury, safe community of Lake Berkley must be one of the nicest places to take a holiday villa in the Kissimmee region of Florida. The vast majority of villas in Lake Berkley, Florida, have their own swimming pool, games room and spacious gardens giving you the chance to enjoy Florida in all its glory surrounded by luxury and comfort.
The Lake Berkley development is perfectly suited for long holidays. Around the site, aside from your private pool and games room, are a number of excellent facilities for your use. There are tennis courts, children's play area, volleyball courts, Jacuzzis, a swimming pool, fitness suites and some excellent fishing on Lake Berkley itself, which also provides a natural route for some fine walks.
Surrounding a villa in Lake Berkley resort are a huge number of golf courses ranging from straightforward par 3 courses to extremely challenging, obstacle strewn championship golf courses which will provide a challenge for every golfer. With so many to choose from, you are sure to find a course ideal for your standard of play and sporting tastes. Just ask around from your Lake Berkley villa and someone will point you in the right direction. One of the best courses in the area, and almost the prefect place to start a golf tour of the area is the beautiful Kissimmee Oaks Golf Club, which has taxing greens, stunning natural scenery and some wonderful migratory birds which rest among the trees and lakes of the course.
Anyone staying in a self catering villa in Lake Berkley must visit the famous Walt Disney World Resort which can be found within 10 minutes of your holiday home. Also within 20 minutes drive of a Lake Berkley villa are the attractions of SeaWorld, Universal Studios and Wet 'n Wild, meaning that there is no end of possibilities for family entertainment during your holidays to the area. The glorious beaches of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic coastline are both within an hour's drive of a Lake Berkley villa too.
All year round, Lake Berkley villas are filled with visitors due to the astonishing number of local attractions and places to visit in the immediate surroundings. Taking a hire car when you take a Lake Berkley villa is almost essential, as you will want to be as flexible as possible to get the most out of the region. From the attractions, shops and restaurants of Orlando to the challenges of the Southern Dunes Golf Resort or the beaches of the central Gulf Coast, you will never be short of entertainment ideas whilst staying in a Lake Berkley villa.
The warm climate of Florida is delightful all year round. During the scorching days of the summer, temperatures average 31?C, with long, warm evenings making eating outside in the evening a genuine delight. Even during the depths of winter, villas with a pool in Lake Berkley are a huge asset, as temperatures still average over 21?C.
Orlando International Airport (MCO) is very easily reached from a Lake Berkley villa. British Airways and Monarch both provide direct flights from the UK to Orlando, meaning you could be settling into your Lake Berkley villa within just 8 hours of leaving home.

Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus". (Updates from 11:09 a.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" Friday.
Citigroup downgraded Diamond Offshore Drilling (DO). Cramer warned investors against the stock and the sector, noting poor earnings results from Transocean (RIG) and Ensco (ESV). DO is a "sell," he advised. DO was flat at $55.83.
Cramer said Finish Line (FINL) should do great this holiday season, especially after seeing the earnings results from Nike (NKE). He added that Macy's (M) CEO Terry Lundgren suggested FINL would have a "great quarter" as well. FINL rose 6.2% to $27.77.Red Hat (RHT) proved all the shorts wrong, Cramer said, by reinforcing last quarter's solid earnings report with another great quarter. The stock is surging in Friday's trading session. RHT zoomed 14.5% higher at $56.10. Everyone expected Tibco Software (TIBX) to have a great earnings report but "the quarter was not so good," Cramer said. The company disappointed investors and failed to unlock value. TIBX dropped 10% to $22.01. "Allergan (AGN) goes higher," Cramer said. He added its new tear drug, Restasis, should do well and CEO David Pyott is doing a great job. AGN rose 3.8% to $107.73. RW Baird raised its price target on Amazon (AMZN) to $425 from $365. Cramer said everyone loves this stock and not a day seems to go by without someone saying something positive about it. AMZN ended the day up 1.8% to $402.20.

There has been quite the fuss over Amarin (NASDAQ: AMRN) lately. Investors have been hoping for the fish-oil drug maker to be bought out by a larger firm or, at the very least, receive some sort of marketing agreement for the firm's only FDA approved drug, Vascepa. Because of the lack of any material deal the stock has been a cliff jumper since its approval in late July.
More recently Amarin announced a non-equity financing deal with a fund managed by Pharmakon Advisors for $100 million. The purpose for this financing is to hire up to 300 new sales specialists as well as other standard marketing preparations in order to give Vascepa the best possibility to succeed. Subsequently Amarin's share price plummeted about 25%. In most equity financing situations the share price will adjust to the fair value that was agreed upon by the specific firm and the financing company. However in this case a fair value for Amarin was not agreed upon because it is a non-equity transaction. Therefore we ask who decided upon the fair value of Amarin and more importantly, why did investors and traders panic and sell?
"Because Amarin will market Vascepa alone"
This is the most common argument investors and biotech followers will give as to why the share price collapsed. In fact, this is the conclusion the biotech guru Adam Feuerstein comes to regarding the situation. However, we believe he makes an invalid statement when he writes:
Launching any drug is hard. Launching a drug 133 days after it was approved is really hard. Yet that's the deep hole Amarin management has dug for itself after wasting precious time on a quixotic quest to land a BigPharma marketing partner (or even sillier) a takeout suitor.
Contrary to the above statement, from day one Amarin has been planning to launch Vascepa in the first quarter of 2013. Therefore we ask how can you blame a firm and/or a CEO for following an initial plan? Additionally, how can you blame a CEO for wanting to market their product at all? This would be similar Apple deciding to wait for Google to buy them out before taking the iPod to market. Talk about a ridiculous thought.
In fact, if Amarin decided to launch Vascepa immediately, as Mr. Feuerstein insinuates would have been the best choice and exactly as Dendreon (NASDAQ: DNDN) did with Provenge, then Vascepa would have struggled, just like Provenge. To digress a bit, Provenge received FDA approval in April of 2010 and the firm immediately launched the cancer treatment. After approval the stock jumped 40% and never eclipsed the 50 barrier again. The stock essentially fluttered until Dendreon announced, on August 3, 2011, that Provenge was taking longer to reach potential patients than anticipated. The reason for this was:
The primary issue affecting the dynamics of our launch is the reimbursement knowledge around PROVENGE. We anticipate the positive National Coverage Determination (NCD) and Q-code will have a significant impact on increased physician adoption. However, we believe this will take time, and for the remainder of 2011, the launch trajectory will reflect a more gradual adoption of PROVENGE as physicians gain confidence in this positive reimbursement landscape.
In other words due to a lack of preparations and sales information given to physicians, Provenge was unable to reach the full market potential and subsequently the share price has slumped over 85% since August 2011. On the other hand, Amarin's management is in the process of hiring and educating sales personnel in order to educate physicians and give Vascepa every possible opportunity to be successful. And again, I must reiterate, why are investors and market followers punishing Amarin for taking these extra precautions? If Amarin was not taking these precautions, it would be similar to HP's irresponsible purchase of Autonomy that led to an $8.8 billion writedown due to a lack of due diligence by HP's management. In a sense, Amarin is doing their due diligence on the market and physicians in order to get the most out of Vascepa.
A positive immediate drug launch can be found by looking at Regeneron (NASDAQ: REGN). After Regeneron's November 18, 2011 approval of the firm's wet-AMD treatment, Eylea, Regeneron made the treatment available to patients. However, unlike Dendreon, Regeneron's share price is up about 260% since the approval and with increased sales forecasts coming almost quarterly, we expect to see the stock continue to climb. Nevertheless, it is important to note that Bayer helped develop Eylea and also markets Eylea outside of the U.S. With that said, Regeneron has done the bulk of the work considering Eylea's European and Australian approvals came on December 4, 2012 and March 8, 2012, respectively. Therefore the argument can be made that Regeneron successfully launched Eylea single handedly.
Not all drugs are equal
There are some pretty stark differences between Provenge, Eylea, and Vascepa. While Provenge is intended to treat advanced prostate cancer, Eylea treats a form of AMD. Wet-AMD is extremely serious because it can lead to complete blindness. On the other hand, Provenge is approved for advanced prostate cancer, which is great for men that reach the advanced stage, but many physicians are able to detect prostate cancer well before it reaches the advanced stage. And as technology improves and more men get tested at an earlier age, it will make Provenge more of a life saver than a huge money maker.
Comparing these two treatments to Vascepa we get a different story. Vascepa is approved as an adjunct to diet in order to reduce very high triglyceride levels. Unfortunately for Amarin, the big money market is patients with high triglycerides, not very high levels. However, in order to make Vascepa a more widely used drug, the firm is working on getting Vascepa approved for the treatment of high triglycerides (ANCHOR trial) and as a treatment for the reduction of cardiovascular events (REDUCE-IT trial).
The important note to take away from this is that, compared to Provenge, Vascepa's market is greater. Many will argue that Vascepa will ultimately be ran out of town by diet and exercise. This is not true though. Unfortunately we live in a society that thrives on recovery as opposed to prevention (think world debt problems as an example). In other words, instead of taking action in order to avoid problems, it is in our nature to wait until the problem becomes serious and simply find a way to get passed it and survive; even if the answer will simply lead to more problems. This is why Vascepa will succeed. It is easier for the majority of the population to simply take a pill as opposed to exercising. Vascepa will allow patients to continue living their same lives regardless of whether the patient has very high TG levels from genetic makeup or from bad lifestyle habits.
Vascepa will succeed
Contrary to popular belief, we believe that Amarin will successfully launch Vascepa towards the end of the first quarter of 2013; which is what the firm's management has been preparing for since the approval. This would indicate that investors will get a look at Vascepa's sales during the firm's first quarter earnings report. The big knock will continue to be that Amarin has no experience in marketing. While this is a great argument, we do not agree that you can punish the firm for following the original plan of hiring experienced sales personnel that do have experience. After all, Amarin's CEO will not be connecting with physicians himself, so why does he need marketing experience? Doesn't it seem more beneficial to hire others that specialize in this field?
At the end of the day Vascepa and Amarin have not done anything that should lead investors to believe either one will be an utter flop. We believe Amarin should be given respect for not launching Vascepa immediately. It would have been easy for Amarin to simply launch Vascepa and just see what happens. After all, this is what Dendreon did and that has not ended well thus far. Nonetheless, one the one hand it would be irresponsible to recommend buying Amarin as a short term investment because there is strong negative sentiment surrounding the stock. However, on the other hand, as a long term investment we believe Amarin is a strong option because we are expecting Amarin's sales figures to surprise the expectations of most investors and market followers.

Connelly to depart New Orleans for Nuggets GM post
New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - Tim Connelly is set to join the Denver Nuggets' front office as the club's general manager and executive vice president of basketball operations.
A source confirmed to the Times-Picayune on Monday that the Pelicans' assistant general manager will head to Denver, though it is uncertain if the move is effective immediately or if it will officially take place after the completion of the draft on June 27.
Nuggets owner Josh Kroenke also confirmed the move to the Denver Post.
Connelly held the assistant GM post in New Orleans since August 2010, after being hired away from the Washington Wizards, where he served as director of player personnel.
He will take the reins from Masai Ujiri, who left Denver to assume the general manager slot with the Toronto Raptors.

The Congress finds the following:
(1) Hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, and thunderstorms can cause significant loss of life, injury, destruction of property, and economic and social disruption. All States and regions are vulnerable to these hazards.
(2) The United States currently sustains several billion dollars in economic damages each year due to these windstorms. In recent decades, rapid development and population growth in high-risk areas has greatly increased overall vulnerability to windstorms.
(3) Improved windstorm impact reduction measures have the potential to reduce these losses through—
(D) engineering research on improving new structures and retrofitting existing ones to better withstand windstorms, atmospheric-related research to better understand the behavior and impact of windstorms on the built environment, and subsequent application of those research results; and

Apple's flagship device was released in October last year following much hype and speculation. The resulting handset left a number of Apple fans disappointed with many criticising it for being an update of the iPhone 4 with a few extra features, rather than an entirely new device in its own right.
Samsung experienced even more anticipation ahead of the Galaxy S III's unveiling in May, with rumours about the new device emerging on an almost daily basis ahead of the launch. We pitched the two handsets against each other to find out which performed better. The three key areas taken into consideration were:
- Design and display
- Processor and performance
- User interface and multimedia
So how do the leading handsets from two of the mobile world's biggest names compare when tested against each other?
Design and Display
The S III's form factor is noticeably larger than that of the iPhone 4S. No matter how slim Samsung makes the phone's casing, the difference between the S III's 4.8-inch screen and the 3.5-inch one on the 4S is going to stand out.
Based on the iPhone 4, released in 2010, the 4S made few changes to a shape that is now almost two years old. In mobile terms, that's a long time, but the 4S still flies in the face of other manufacturers by providing a square, sharp-edged design when many rivals prefer to contour their devices.
Apple has also resolutely stuck to the 3.5-inch screen size that was debuted on its very first iPhone iteration – in the time since that device's release other manufacturers have introduced bigger and bigger screens with displays in excess of 4-inches now not uncommon.
The Jony Ive designed devices are always distinctive and the iPhone 4S is no exception but whether or not the device can compete when its display is over an inch smaller than the likes of the Galaxy S III's is unclear. What will be interesting to see is whether or not Apple will change its screen size with the iPhone's next iteration.
Aside from the size itself, the difference in the way each device feels when you're using it is something that also stands out. Despite the S III being Samsung's new flagship and one of the most modern and powerful handsets on the market, the polycarbonate casing doesn't have a particularly high-quality feel to it and so the iPhone comes out on top in this regard.
The S III's backplate is flimsy to say the least and feels like it could easily break if you're not careful when removing it. Conversely, many have criticised the iPhone 4S' glass backing, which can crack when dropped and is costly to replace, however, it is a much more solid design that wouldn't be damaged by normal use. Despite the S III being the more recent device, the casing doesn't compare to that on Apple's latest handset.
On the front of these devices are two of the most impressive screens around. The S III's Super AMOLED HD display is a bright, high-performance screen that shows off the UI's graphics brilliantly, while the 4S' Retina display offers crisp, sharp images and is, overall, the brighter of the two.
Although the size of the S III's display is undoubtedly impressive it does have one drawback. The 720×1280 pixel resolution is stretched out over quite a large area, leaving a ppi of 306. That's a still a very good figure and makes for a more than acceptable visual performance, but the iPhone's smaller screen makes more economic use of its pixels despite the lower resolution of 640×960. Apple's device has a ppi of 330, amongst the highest available, and this gives it the edge in terms of clarity.
Processor and Performance
The S III has the more impressive spec sheet of the two devices. Samsung made headlines when it opted to use a quad-core processor in its new flagship and although it wasn't the world's first manufacturer to do this it could be said to have been the most high profile. That processor, a 1.4 GHz Exynos 4212, is incredibly fast, giving a level of performance above most other phones with online browsing and video-streaming being particularly impressive.
Apple's device comes in with a much lower spec list, despite looking quite impressive at the time it was released. Nevertheless, the dual-core, 1 GHz chip is still capable of incredible performance, with the processor working efficiently with the phone's operating system, minimising app load times and streamlining navigation. Any difference in performance between the two handsets is minimal and both are incredibly fast, easily two of the speediest devices around in terms of day-to-day use.
User Interface and Multimedia
The S III runs Android Ice Cream Sandwich with Samsung's TouchWiz Nature UX laid on top. This new user interface takes its influences from the natural world and this is evident in features such as nature-themed live wallpapers and animations such as the ripple effect which travels across the screen when you swipe to unlock the phone.
Despite the manufacturer's marketing spin, the UI is an evolution of its predecessors rather than anything radically new but it does include some handy features. Samsung's answer to Apple's Siri voice assistant, S-Voice, and Direct Call, which allows users to call a contact by simply lifting the device to an ear whilst a contact's details are displayed, and Smart Stay, which tracks eye movement and prevents it from entering sleep mode whilst its still being observed. The performance of all of these features is temperamental but it is these capabilities that give the S III an edge over many other leading Android devices.
As the Android operating system has evolved and different mobile manufacturers have customised it, the OS has begun to look like something markedly different to Apple's mobile platform. The iPhone's user interface slips into the background and lets the apps do all the talking, aided and abetted by few of its own features whereas Android and any of its manufacturer-built user UIs offer a raft of homescreens, widgets and customisable options.
The iPhone 4S bucks this trend slightly by introducing the Siri voice-assistant and other additions to the latest version of iOS, such as the notifications bar (which appears to have been lifted straight from Android). Despite a few allowances though, iOS is an app-based platform that is defined by what you choose to put on it rather than any intrinsic features.
As has been recently revealed, iOS is also the preferred platform of app developers, with around 70% of mobile apps being developed for Apple's platform first. This results in many leading apps being available to iPhone users before they are for those with an Android device. And with the iPhone 4S being the most up-to-date handset in the range with the latest operating system it is perfectly positioned to take advantage of new innovations in app development as they arrive.
Both devices feature powerful cameras which are capable of producing excellent results. Whilst the 8 megapixel lenses are standard on many high-end devices nowadays, both the S III and 4S' raft of shooting options work well to optimise performance.
Repair site iFixt recently revealed that both the S III and 4S feature roughly the same camera hardware, a Sony BSI unit, but beyond the camera itself, both devices have software on top that increases the imaging capabilities. The camera functions follow in much the same vein each user interface, with the S III having several impressive features built-in whereas the 4S provides a basic camera app that can be built on by third-party developers.
This arrangement sees features such Best Photo cropping up on the Galaxy S III, a function that takes a number of pictures at once then chooses the best one in terms of contrast, exposure etc. There is no comparable function built into the basic iOS camera app, but there are an enormous amount of photography apps available from the App Store which can vastly increase the iPhone's imaging capabilities.
Music functions are handled by native apps in both devices. Although by no means exclusive to the S III, we have found that Android's functions come into their own here as it's so much easier to quickly skip a track by clicking on a homescreen widget than going into an app itself. iOS offers easy-to-access music functions by double-tapping the home button and swiping across the screen but they are a little fiddly in comparison to those of Android.
Although there is no doubt that the S III out performs the iPhone 4S in terms of processing speed, choosing between these two devices really would come down to personal preference. Apple fans will continue to love the iPhone and Android fans will be greatly impressed with the Galaxy S III. However, whilst the iPhone 4S is the older of the two, it's a testament to Apple's abilities that it can still stand up well to a leading Android handset.
The iPhone 4S has a more distinctive interface which is exclusive to Apple phones and the smaller form factor makes it easier to use in one hand. However, the large screen of the S III coupled with Android's infinitely more customisable nature means that any choice between these devices would be a choice between two of the best handsets on the market.

Several recent attacks on the east side of St. Paul have residents in the Dayton's Bluff neighborhood on edge and looking for answers, and city leaders met with concerned community members to discuss the violence at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.
With a mob beating on the Fourth of July, a deadly fight a few weeks ago and a recent gang beating that left a 26-year-old resident critically injured, members of the community posed plenty of tough questions to police and city leaders. The heat in the standing-room only meeting wasn't just a matter of temperature as it became quite clear that residents' supply of patience is running low.
Many residents accused officers of inaction, citing multiple instances of crime in the community ranging from armed robberies to car thefts and trespassing.
"I can't arrest our way out of this problem," St. Paul Police Chief Tom Smith said, adding that he plans to personally join patrols in the area.
City officials say 30 officers have been assigned to patrol the city's east side.
The most emotional moment of the evening came when Ray Widstrand's father addressed the crowd. He got a standing ovation when he thanked the community for their efforts and support, but his son remains hospitalized following the beating on Aug. 4.
Nancy Finch first spoke with FOX 9 News six years ago after she caught footage of an armed melee outside her door. She lives just a block away from Arlington Lutheran Church, where the meeting was held -- and there's no hiding her frustration with city and police leaders when it comes to what she sees as a chronic problem that has plagued the area for years.
From her own front window, Finch recorded a violent street brawl involving two groups of young men who were fighting with pipes and crude weapons. At one point, someone even threw a wooden stick at her as she captured the incident with her video camera.
More than half a decade later, Finch says things haven't gotten any better.
"It has gotten worse, progressively worse, with large groups of young people hanging out, gathering in the middle of the street, stopping traffic," she told FOX 9 News.
Finch said groups of teenagers on the city's east side, particularly along Payne Avenue, have been causing problems for years, but it took the recent shooting of a 17-year-old gang member in a fight last month and the brutal beating of Ray Widstrand as he tried to walk past gang members fighting in the street to bring these issues to a head.
"It makes me angry because I am doing what I need to be doing," Finch said. "Paying my taxes, paying for the services -- and the services aren't here."
On Wednesday during his budget address, St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman called for an immediate increase of police presence in the area. Even though many who attended the Thursday night meeting told FOX 9 News they feel better after talking out their concerns with city leaders, Finch said it will take more than talk to make a change.
"The politicians have their own little discussions behind closed doors and spend our money, our taxpayer money, on frivolous, idiotic ideas like a ballpark in Lowertown when people are dying here from crime," Finch said. "It's ridiculous and they should be ashamed."

Ducted Refrigerated Cooling Features
- Innovative and advanced inverter technology
- Works efficiently in the majority of climate extremities
- Running costs from 24 cents per hour
How Do Ducted Refrigerated Air Conditioners Work?
Getting a decent nights sleep during a hot Australian summer can be a real problem. A reverse cycle air-conditioning system lets you control the climate when you want.
Ducted Air Conditioning can both cool and heat your home while filtering the air and removing humidity providing the required level of comfort, regardless of the weather conditions.
Heating is provided economically by "reversing" the operation of the conditioner. Instead of expelling the hot air and circulating cool air it does the reverse – hence the term 'reverse cycle' air conditioning.
There are various types of air conditioners, from the simple and inexpensive room air conditioner, wall mounted split right up to a fully ducted system.
Systems vary in size from 1hp (2.5kw) to 80hp (200kw). Coldflow's qualified application engineers will advise you on the best system to fit any size requirement for home or business.
These ducted air conditioner systems are completely flexible and can be customised for any application. We suggest you consider the superior brands such as Mitsubishi and Daikin for their energy efficient advanced inverter technology.
Inverter technology is your key to more comfort throughout the year, whatever the season. By controlling compressor rotation speed more precisely, inverter technology provides high speed cooling and heating with extra energy savings compared to non-inverter models.
Ducted refrigerated systems are the "Rolls Royce" of air conditioning. An Outdoor unit quietly delivers refrigeration to the indoor fan coil which is connected to superior platinum air to be distributed throughout the home.
Ducted refrigerated air conditioning provides unobtrusive quiet climate control. Warm even heat is distributed during Winter and clean cool air during Summer.

Neighbors should be more considerate
Maybe someone can tell me what happened to the loud noise law we supposedly have.
I can't sleep or watch a TV program these days, because my neighbor is playing the music so loud that the walls and floors shake and things fall down.
Then when I call 911 to have the police come to quiet them down, they don't show up at all. The police are so lazy. It took me calling three times before they finally showed up.
I just got home from work; it's 1 a.m. There was nowhere to park because of the party going on downstairs. It didn't stop until 2:30 a.m. They are bad neighbors.
Worry about other drivers
Instead of worrying about "the dummy on the motorcycle," maybe people should be more concerned with the "dummies in the automobiles." A biker friend of mine sat at a stop light and a woman in a minivan with two preschool age kids smashed into the back of him, fracturing vertebrae in his back. She admitted to the police she was instant messaging on her smart phone. Maybe it's time to ban the use of cell phones while driving. The vast majority of motorcycle fatalities are caused not by "dummies on their motorcycles" being reckless, but by idiots in cars not paying attention.
Rants are disheartening
It's sad to read the Rants & Raves columns, especially many about President Obama. First, it's a waste of precious time and energy to be consumed by so much anger about things you can do nothing about and second, because often much of the subject matter ranted about is misunderstood or just plain wrong.
Let's address Obama's daughters attending a private school. Jimmy Carter was the last president (1977-81) to have a child in public school. Apparently, it was an unhappy time for Amy as she wasn't allowed to go out for recess because of safety concerns and had trouble making friends because of all the Secret Service around her. Yes, Secret Service protection is required by federal law for the family of the President.
Children of Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton and V.P. Gore all graduated from Sidwell Friends, the Obama girls' school. It is a highly selective Quaker private school popular with Washington D.C.'s prominent and moneyed families. From all we see, hear and read, President Obama adores his daughters and is deeply concerned for all children. That is why he is spending so much time addressing gun control issues, even though it is not politically expedient to do so.
Not really a rant
This isn't really a rant or a rave. It's just a notion that we, as human beings, show more kindness to others. Take time to remember that you never know what somebody is going through at home. They may have struggles they are trying to hide, so if they look like they need a smile or a kind word, give them one. It might make their day. My mom did that. She made everyone smile and I miss her so much. I wish I would have taken the chance to tell her how much I loved her, how sorry I was for my mistakes and how much I respect and love her. You never know how long you have with someone. Take time to make someone smile today, you never know how much it will mean.
No money for you
My university sent me a request today for a contribution as a part of their annual fund drive. I will not be sending them anything this year because in the same mail, I received a report on college professors, which indicates that more than half of these people, who are supposed to be unbiased and are supposed to encourage different opinions, have negative attitudes toward those of us who are evangelical Christians and use the Bible as our guide in life.
Sick of the school system
I have lived in this county for 25 years. I attended public school and so do my two children. I cannot seem to understand how the school system manages to function the way it is today.
When I call the high school, no one can be bothered to return my calls. It took me physically standing in the office and threatening to take my child out of school for me to even get anyone's attention when my child was the victim of a crime.
Now she has been given detention for something I know she did not do and I have spent my entire day trying to get anyone at the school to call me back.
I thought that is what my property taxes paid for.
I have asked the school board to move her bus stop to a safer location. I almost got hit by a speeding car at her bus stop this morning.
I have emailed the sheriff's department, my county commissioner's office and have even spoken to the transportation department. Every person I talk to tells me it is not their problem.
The last time I checked, my child was entitled to an education and safe transportation to and from school. Perhaps I need to reread the constitution.
Humane Society comes through
Not too long ago, my beloved Labrador retriever died. She was my best friend for 12 years. I am a senior citizen, don't drive and am on a fixed income. I was very worried that I wouldn't be able to afford to take care of her once she passed away.
I called the Humane Society and they assured me that they would take care of both of us once she died. The morning that she passed away, I called them and lo and behold, they came and took her. They cremated her and never charged me a penny. They knew how distraught I was, and they came the day after she died and gave me a great poem explaining how hard it was to lose a pet.
A few weeks after that, they came and took me to the pound and let me pick out another dog free of charge. I know this might not be something they can offer to everybody, but they really made such a difference to me.
I'm no longer sitting here lonely, missing my dog. I have a great new dog that keeps my busy and shows me so much love. I just want to say thank you so much to the Humane Society. You've made such a difference in this senior's life.
Shut up during the show
We recently attended a buffet and show at a local church. The food was good, but once the entertainment started, some people continued to be loud. We are not sure if these people are outsiders or members of the church, but it was rude and a disappointment at a church function.
Fix the welfare system
I would like to know, as some others here in the Sunshine State of Florida, what is going with the offices here?
Why are so many illegal immigrants able to get food stamps, have Social Security cards and get free stuff from this state? Why are we are taking care of people who sneak into the United States and we can't even take care of the people who were born here and work their whole life here?
Then we have people who are on welfare who don't need to be on it at all. Are the people who work these jobs really checking the paperwork or just once in a while? If the immigrants want to stay, let them go through the right channels.
The Social Security office should have a special card for immigrants to use, with pictures on them that they can't take off or change with someone.
The same thing goes for the food-stamp office. The office heads should get off their bottoms and do something about it. The offices should link together by computers, too.
Why does the Social Security office issue new cards and numbers when someone loses theirs? They should look up the person on the file database before issuing a new card, and then issue a new one with the same number.
There are some people with two or more Social Security cards. Then they head to food-stamp office to get help with these new cards.
There are so many Americans who need help in this area and can't get it because of this problem. The system we have is broken down, so let's fix it now.
