Bob Vander Plaats, the Iowa Christian leader who endorsed Rick Santorum just before the candidate surged to success in the caucuses Tuesday night, isn't done yet.
The head of the conservative and religious Family Leader organization told ABC News on Wednesday that he's been making flurries of calls to like-minded faith leaders in New Hampshire and South Carolina to build support for Santorum in those states' primaries over the next few weeks.
Vander Plaats said he had made 12 to 15 calls to "pro-family" leaders in those states on Wednesday alone, but he wouldn't say with whom he's spoken, citing their privacy.
Santorum hovered near last place in Iowa until shortly after Vander Plaats supported him, an endorsement that was marred partially by suspicion that money was involved but which ultimately led to the former Pennsylvania senator's coming in second to Mitt Romney, who led by just eight votes.
"There was this real bubble of support that was just waiting to burst," said Vander Plaats, who called the allegations that he demanded money from Santorum "baseless." "We just needed to put a stamp of credibility or a credibility poke. … So hopefully, we were able to do something like that, and people then took note."
Vander Plaats, who was with Santorum on Tuesday night as some of the caucus results arrived, is now publicly calling for Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich to drop out and support Santorum so that he can face Romney alone in South Carolina, a state with a heavy evangelical population.
"The sooner we can get this to a one-on-one with Mitt Romney, the better for Rick Santorum, because Romney does not want a one-on-one," he said.

I am worried about having laser liposuction after reading about bumps and possible larger weight gain after the procedure. I am a thin distance runner but I would like to lose excess weight on my butt and inner thighs. Is this procedure dangerous for athletes? Also, what are the side effects for thinner people in general?
Is Liposuction Dangerous for Athletes?
Doctor Answers 22
Liposuction is not dangerous of Athletes
Liposuction is not dangerous for Athletes, but laser liposcution generaly carries higher complication rate than tumescent liposuction, and in a relatively thin person such as you, laser lipo is of no added benefit.

Athletes often good candidates for spot contouring with lipo
Your question gets at the core reason for doing body contouring with lipo: even in very fit people, there can be pockets of fat that are too stubborn to go away. Liposuction removes these areas and so the body can't really put excess fat there. Weight gain after lipo is not related to the procedure, but occurs when poeple erroneously assume that they don't have to diet and exercise as much. It's a body shaping procedure, not for weight loss. Don't be swayed by the marketing hype around laser lipo; the most important variable is the surgeon, not the technology.
Athletes can be ideal for liposuction
The ideal person for liposuction is someone who is relatively young and healthy who is at or near their ideal body weight with firm, elastic skin and isolated pockets of fat. Athletes are usually closer to the ideal patient for liposuction than anyone. There is no reason why an athlete would have any greater risk for liposuction than a non athlete.

Liposuction is fine for atheletes
Liposuction ideally treats focal, localized areas of fat which are resistant to diet and exercise. Therefore athletes should be the ideal candidates. There is no greater risk for athletes vs normal people. As well trained athletes should only have small areas which need treating, use of a small, thin cannula would be prudent, as minimal amounts of fat would need to be removed and a thin cannula would be best used to "sculpt" the areas and avoid contour defects. Any on-line search for "Liposuction" will turn up a variety of different types being done, Laser, Laser assisted, Ultrasonic, Tumescent, etc, etc. I know of no study which proves the superiority or benefit of any type over standard liposuction, in spite of heavy marketing by the companies suggesting otherwise.
Liposuction in athletes is no different than in non-athletes
Whether one is thin and athletic or not, the liposuction procedure is the same including most of the risks and potential complications. The only difference is that in a thin person the procedure is better described as 'liposculpture' as the amount of fat to be removed is less. This makes the result more likely to be 'better' in that the canvas one is working with is thinner and better defined from the beginning. Because the fat volume removed is so much less than in larger patients, some of the risks such as fat emboli and deep vein thrombosis and the amount of recovery needed are reduced.

Laser Liposuction in Athletes: Results and Safety
Laser liposuction is a new technology that utilizes a laser probe introduced through a small incision under the skin and then pulsed to heat water in the fat cells. The technology is truly in its primitive stages, yet it is marketed heavily and has catchy names. After the laser part of the liposuction, the area is treated with standard suction assisted liposuction which likely contributes heavily to the end results. Unfortunately, the technology is being utilized frequently by non-plastic surgeons who have limited to no training in body contouring which can lead to compromised results and safety. Liposuction, no matter what technology is considered safe if applied in the proper area, under the right conditions and in the right patients. Typically in thin patients, ie athletes, this would be safe if applied to focal areas of fat accumulation, however thin patients are very unforgiving in that if not performed carefully, liposuction could lead to contour irregularities such as depressions. If you do have focal fat deposits that you would like contoured, consider consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon and maybe consider utilizing ultrasound assisted liposuction. Laser liposuction is just not the right medium to deliver results.

Athletic individuals are ideal liposuction candidates
Athletic individuals are ideal liposuction candidates. People with lower overall body fat and small areas of localized fat accumulations usually get the best results. Laser liposuction, however, comes with additional side effects and no particular benefits over manual liposuction so I cannot recommend that approach. see link below.
Athletes and Liposuction
Being a marathon runner, I can understand your concerns. Most thinner athletes are ideal candidates for liposuction. You should be careful to choose a surgeon who is experienced with both traditional lipoplasty and laser assisted lipoplasty. It is likely that laser assisted lipoplasty will not be needed, unless you have been very heavy in the past. Obviously, I can't give a definitive answer about your individual situation without a formal consultation.
Be wary of laser liposuction
The risks of anesthetic complications from should be significantly reduced in a well trained athlete. I would advise you to be wary of laser liposuction. There are numerous studies that have shown that laser liposuction has a high complication rate that standard liposuction. This study also found that the cosmetic results of laser liposuction were inferior to that of standard liposuction. Laser liposuction is more of a marketing gimmick that a true advance in liposuction technique.

City Manager Matthew Brower will meet Monday with leaders of Ocala's African-American community to discuss the city's adherence to a 1984 federal compliance agreement that called for the city to alleviate discrimination in municipal services and hiring policies and practices.
City Manager Matthew Brower will meet Monday with leaders of Ocala's African-American community to discuss the city's adherence to a 1984 federal compliance agreement that called for the city to alleviate discrimination in municipal services and hiring policies and practices.
Loretta P. Jenkins, president of the Marion County Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, asked Brower to address the community during the Governor's West Ocala Neighborhood Revitalization Council meeting at 9 a.m. Monday in the Howard Academy Community Center cafeteria, 306 N. Seventh Ave.
Jenkins said she and her husband were going through some old papers and came across the agreement.
"That sparked it," she said about her request for a status report from the city.
"We want to do a comparison to see if there are some things on (the agreement) that have not been done and if there are future plans to improve on those things," Jenkins said Friday. "We know there have been vast improvements with streets and parks and recreation facilities."
But she said there still may be some disparities in the upkeep of facilities. And there are concerns about employment.
She said hiring and promotions at the city's police and fire departments are "definitely not" as they should be.
Brower said he is looking forward to Monday's meeting.
"We are going to break it down to each of the services identified in that settlement agreement," Brower said.
He said the city would identify what it has done in the past four to five years, what it currently is doing and what it projects to do in the future to serve the minority community, which is largely on Ocala's west side.
"We welcome the opportunity to provide the information," Brower said.
Councilwoman Mary Sue Rich, who represents West Ocala, said she is not aware of any problems.
"I don't know what the concerns are, if there are any," said Rich, who is African-American. "I can't know what they are unless somebody says something, and nobody said anything to me."
She said that, as far as she knows, the city has complied with the agreement.
"This is just the NAACP wanting to know if the city held up their end of the bargain and did they do what they said they were going to do," she said. "As far as I know, we have done most of the things they have asked for, maybe all of them," she said. "The city hires a lot of minorities. There are a lot of minority supervisors. Most of the streets are paved. We have lights."
The Marion County NAACP filed a complaint with the federal Department of the Treasury's Office of Revenue Sharing on Dec. 11, 1979. The complaint alleged discrimination by the city against its African-American community when providing street paving and maintenance, drainage, recreation, fire protection, sewer, water, street lights and sidewalk services, as well as in hiring policies and practices.
A subsequent hearing before the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida resulted in the issuance of a compliance agreement in 1984 calling for the city to rectify the shortcomings found during an investigation of the complaint.
At the time, many of the services being offered to Ocala's residents were being paid, at least in part, with federal revenue-sharing dollars, more so in the white community than the black community. The city was given three years to rectify many of the problems found, although it was recognized that it may take more time to address some of the larger problems.
Asked if the city has complied with the court's order, Brower said, "We don't know."
He said many of documents do not exist any more.
"We think we complied because the revenues from the Department of Revenue never stopped, which means we must have complied," Brower said.

Regardless of the name, the goal is the same: a famliy-friendly, healthy, wicked-smart, beautiful dogs.
See some of our previous litters on Facebook.
See application if you are interested.
Why Silverdoodles?
For fun really. We started out with F1b Goldendoodles that were mostly silver/black and it just did not seem right that they were called golden. Now that our quality of dog is synonymous with the name Silverdoodle and now that we have a chocolate-silver Australian Labradoodle in the mix, it just seemed right to keep calling them Silverdoodles. They are the new SILVERDOODLE!
Our goal:
To provide the best-natured and healthiest family pet possible.
The fact that they are beautiful and low-to-no-shed is just a bonus!

RHS student club reinforces feelings of connection, worthDec 12, 2012 By Katie Roenigk, Staff Writer
In an effort to discourage bullying, a newly founded student club is sponsoring "Be the Change" month this December at Riverton High School.
Club Hope adviser Brenda Iden said the group was formed as a follow-up to the school's annual Challenge Day event that encourages students to "demonstrate the possibility of love and connection through the celebration of diversity, truth, and full ex
"We're trying to make every student at the high school feel like they're an important part of the high school -- to feel that they have value and that their presence here is important," Iden said.
With that goal in mind, she said Club Hope students have hosted monthly "Be the Change" weeks this year, when they ask students to participate in activities that help them connect with their peers. For example, during one week students were encouraged to eat lunch with someone new and to make sure no one in the cafeteria was sitting alone. Other challenges have to do with physical touch -- Iden said for one week she asked students to try to hug at least one person every day.
"I think it's deep," Iden said of the exercise.
She talked about studies that show children need a physical connection with others to survive.
"I think we as adults need that still," she added.
For December's month-long "Be the Change" marathon, Iden said she tried to come up with holiday themed challenges. On one day, students were supposed to "act like Frosty the Snowman" when they greeted their classmates in the hallways.
"A jolly happy soul," Iden said, describing the famous snowman in an e-mail to staff. "Share the joy!"
Another school day was dedicated to "reindeer hunting."
"Wear your camouflage and remember to be kind to everyone, not just those that are 'deer' to your heart," Iden wrote. "Meet someone new and make them one of your 'deer' friends."
On Wednesday, teachers were asked to begin each class period with a group hug -- an activity Iden's fourth-hour study hall accepted enthusiastically. When Iden reminded them about the day's challenge, most of the students rushed to the center of the room where they gathered in a circle and slung their arms over one another's shoulders. Anyone who didn't immediately participate was invited to join, and once everyone interested in the exercise was assembled together they chanted, "I am an important person at RHS."
Senior Kaleb Heidt said the ongoing "Be the Change" challenges have had an effect at the school.
"I think it kind of ties people together," he said.
Others agreed that the Challenge Day program, which was designed to discourage bullying in schools, really "sinks in."
"It makes you a better person on the inside," sophomore Shaide Stover said. "You get to meet other people who are like you."
Iden said she hears similar feedback from most people who participate in a Challenge Day -- students and teachers.
"Kids say we need this in every school," Iden said. "And teacher says they didn't know how much it would be (good) for them too."

The ability of the immune system to identify and destroy nascent tumors, and to thereby function as a primary defense against cancer, has been debated for many decades. Recent findings by a number of investigators in both mouse models of cancer and humans with cancer now offer compelling evidence that particular immune cell types, effector molecules, and pathways can sometimes collectively function as extrinsic tumor suppressor mechanisms. This work provides the basis for further study of natural immunity to cancer and for rational use of this information in the design of immunotherapies in combination with other conventional cancer treatments.
Jeremy B. Swann, Mark J. Smyth
Extrinsic tumor suppression by the immune system.
Transformed cells escaping intrinsic control are subjected to extrinsic tumor suppressor mechanisms that detect and eliminate developing tumors before they become clinically apparent. This is known as the elimination phase of a broader process that has been termed cancer immunoediting. Cancer immunoediting takes into account the observation that the immune system both protects the host against tumor development and promotes tumor growth. Cancer immunoediting is now considered a process composed of 3 phases: elimination, or cancer immune surveillance; equilibrium, a phase of tumor dormancy where tumor cells and immunity enter into a dynamic equilibrium that keeps tumor expansion in check; and escape, where tumor cells emerge that either display reduced immunogenicities or engage a large number of possible immunosuppressive mechanisms to attenuate antitumor immune responses leading to the appearance of progressively growing tumors. These phases have been termed the 3 Es of cancer immunoediting.

The iPhone is dominating the mobile Internet according to Net Application. In their latest report for February the company states that the iPhone browser accounts for two-thirds of all mobile platforms browsing online. The iPhone accounted for 66.61% market share in February while the Java ME platform came in at a distant second with 9.06% market share.{ad}
Rounding out the top five mobile platforms were Windows Mobile, Symbian and Android. They had market share of 6.91%, 6.15% and 6.15% respectively. The Palm platform came in at 2.37% while the BlackBerry came in just under Palm's market share at 2.24%.
Apple has to be smiling ear to ear. It was one thing to have a success like the iPod, it's amazing to follow that up with something just as successful while entering the competitive mobile phone market. The formula for the iPhone's success is quite simple when it comes to mobile Internet browsing. Apple simply gives iPhone users a similar Internet experience as they have on their home computers so they don't have to compromise simply because they are mobile.

The Merchandise Mart is why I come to Chicago… and yes, I always book my stay with the Best Western River North. Why? Because of its central location, clean rooms, great staff (love the Parking Lot attendant, Reggie) and free parking with in and out privileges. The Merchandise Mart also offers tours of the facility. It is really an architectural beauty… very art deco! It is a definate to do. After market hours, the BWRN is ideally located for shopping on the Mag. Mile!
The Sears Tower is a fasinating structure & is a must-do when visiting Chicago. Of course at the top, is very scarey. When we were there it was really foggy so we couldn't see out or clear as we would have liked, but I never will forget the experience!!!
Everytime we visit Chicago, our family stays at River North. The location is terrific with great restaurants and close to a lot of major entertainment options. We appreciate the free and secure parking. Since we have younger children, the indoor pool on the top floor is an added bonus to look forward to.

The state delivered more gloomy news on the job front Friday: The unemployment rate jumped to 4.9 percent from 4.6 percent as another 17,400 nonfarm jobs disappeared in March. That put Florida just below the U.S. rate of 5.1 percent and the highest since February 2004.
Florida's showing was second worst in the nation on two fronts; only Michigan lost more jobs and only California saw a bigger jump in the unemployment rate.
All told, 36 states posted a month-to-month increase in unemployment. In the Tampa Bay area, unemployment rose to 5.1 percent from 4.8 percent, pushing it to the highest rate in five years.

Vivasanti: Hi guys, long time lurker, first time poster :)
Just brought a SGS from Hong Kong its got 2.1 on it, whats the best way for me to update the firmware id like to be on 2.2 or 2.2.1 (not sure about 2.3 just now)
Since the phones from HK do i have to be careful what rom im flashing?
any suggestions would be sweet :)
There's a quick guide here on GZ: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=97&topicid=80943
And heaps of reading on XDA - plenty to get your head around! Most important thing I think is to make sure you back up your EFS folder.
Did you change root explorer to read/write. backup the old one just in case it does something strange to your rom
Yep did that! Strange, might try reinstalling Simply Honey then dark core.

About Hirota
Hirota is a family owned business based in Tokyo, Japan. They make world famous karate uniforms - known as karate dogi - and other accessories; their tremendous passion for karate is clear from the high quality of their products.
The Hirota family learned their trade from the old masters in the business. By listening closely to the wishes of karateka and instructors, they developed the karate dogi further and eventually created their top model; the Pinac.The quality of the fabric (developed especially for these dogi) and the finish of the Pinac is absolutely outstanding.
Hirota dogi are mainly made and finished by hand, including the application of logos and names. A visit to their shop in Tokyo is a treat for any karateka. Clearly Hirota has passed their knowledge further on in the family, who sit at their sewing machines working hard on karate-related products soon be worn by karateka around the world. Newly finished dogi, belts, books and other accessories are spread out across the shop. The attention and care that goes into Hirota products is amazing.
Hirota is justly very proud of their dogi and have every right to say: "Hirota is the best karate dogi available today"
Besides the Hirota dogi, Best Karate Gi also offers karate accessoires such as belts, protective gloves (for kumite), makiwara, DVD's and books.

Fans voting for the NBA All-Star Game starters have done a decent job the past several seasons, but this year could end up being ridiculous.
Voting is just about over. Today, in fact, is the last day to turn in paper ballots, and Jan. 18 is the deadline for wireless and Internet voting.
That means there is precious little time to avoid a pair of travesties. If things don't change, Houston's Tracy McGrady will be a starting guard in the West, with Philadelphia's Allen Iverson a starting guard for the East.
McGrady, due mostly to injury and partly to ineffectiveness and the inability to help his team, has played in a grand total of six games this season. He's averaging 3.2 points in 7.7 minutes in his limited action. Not exactly All-Star numbers.
Yet McGrady is second only to the Lakers' Kobe Bryant in the voting for Western Conference guards — ahead of the likes of Steve Nash, Chris Paul and Deron Williams.
Iverson has put up slightly better numbers in his return to the 76ers this season, but he's still not close to being an All-Star. Between stints in Memphis and Philadelphia, Iverson had played in just 14 games and is averaging 14.8 points and 4.4 assists.
Again, there are literally dozens of guards in the NBA more deserving of an All-Star spot.
The league's coaches will make sure that many players who deserve All-Star status will get their due, since the coaches will pick the reserves. Still, for McGrady and Iverson to take spots from someone is just plain wrong.
It means that during this final week of online voting, Jazz fans who want Williams to have a better chance of being an All-Star should vote early and often — like they do in Chicago elections. But they shouldn't vote for Williams. They should vote for Nash and/or Paul.
Here's why: Williams is in seventh for Western Conference guards, with some 461,000 fewer votes than McGrady. There is no way D-Will can catch up. However, Nash is just 2,375 votes behind McGrady. That's a number that could easily be made up. Paul, meanwhile, is 45,208 votes behind McGrady. He, too, could conceivably catch McGrady with a late push.
And if Nash and/or Paul is voted in over McGrady, then the coaches will have one extra reserve spot for a guard on the All-Star bubble — like Williams.
So for this week only, votes for Nash and Paul are really votes for D-Will.
In any event, here are the 12 players from each conference that deserve to play in the All-Star Game in front of 80,000 fans at Jerry Jones' new palace of a ballpark in Dallas on Valentine's Day.
Carmelo Anthony, Denver — He's neck-and-neck with Kobe Bryant for the NBA's scoring lead and a major reason the Nuggets are again the team to beat in the Northwest Division.
Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City — The Thunder is in the thick of the playoff race thanks in large part to Durant's 28.4 points per game average.
Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas — Playing like a top MVP candidate for the second-best team in the West, averaging 25 points and eight rebounds per game.
Tim Duncan, San Antonio — Mr. Consistency is one of only three players averaging 20-plus points and 10-plus rebounds per outing.
Zach Randolph, Memphis — He isn't even on the All-Star ballot — yet he's clearly putting up All-Star numbers for the surprising Grizzlies. Randolph is another 20/10 player, averaging 20.5 points and 11.5 boards.
Amare Stoudemire, Phoenix — After a couple of injury-riddled years, he's back playing at a level expected of him. He's averaging 20.8 points and 8.7 boards for the overachieving Suns.
Chris Kaman, L.A. Clippers — Don't laugh, but Kaman is actually having a better season than the Lakers' Andrew Bynum or any other center in the conference. He's averaging 20.4 points and 9.3 rebounds.
Kobe Bryant, L.A. Lakers — The best player on the West's best team. Enough said.
Steve Nash, Phoenix — His numbers are every bit as good as they were in his back-to-back MVP seasons. He leads the NBA by dishing out 11.3 assists per game.
Chris Paul, New Orleans — Yes, he missed about a month of the season due to injury, but he's been amazing when he has played. He's second in the league in assists per game (10.8) while also scoring nearly 20 points per outing.
Brandon Roy, Portland — Has done an amazing job helping the Trail Blazers stay competitive considering all the injuries that team has had. He's averaging 23 points per game along with five assists and five rebounds.
Deron Williams, Utah — It would mean the world to D-Will to finally make an All-Star game, especially since it's being played in his hometown. He deserves to be an All-Star, too, with his 19.5 scoring and 9.8 assist average.
LeBron James, Cleveland — He's having another phenomenal all-around season, averaging a league-best 43.7 points plus 7.1 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game.
Chris Bosh, Toronto — Another 20/10 man — averaging 23.7 points and 11.3 rebounds.
Kevin Garnett, Boston — Has missed some time due to injury, but is a key to Boston's success with his play and leadership. Averaging 15 points and 7.6 rebounds.
Gerald Wallace, Charlotte — Not as well known as many of the All-Stars, but he's having a huge season for the Bobcats, averaging 18.2 points and 11.8 rebounds.
Josh Smith, Atlanta — A strong all-around player for one of the best up-and-coming teams in the league.
Dwight Howard, Orlando — Simply the best center in the NBA today, and the stats back it up. He leads the NBA in both rebounding and blocked shots and averages 17 points per game, too.
David Lee, New York — Quietly having a huge season for a team that has been getting better all year — and thus making the first-round draft pick Utah has of theirs less valuable all the time. Averaging 19 points and 11 boards per game.
Dwyane Wade, Miami — Hasn't been quite as good as last year when he won the scoring title, but still averaging 27.1 points per game.
Joe Johnson, Atlanta — He's the Hawks' top scorer (21.1 ppg), but he also passes and rebounds well, averaging five assists and five boards.
Derrick Rose, Chicago — The 2009 Rookie of the Year is not having a sophomore slump, as his 18.8-point and 6-assist averages will attest.
Rajon Rondo, Boston — It used to be "the Big 3" in Boston, but Rondo has turned it into a "Big 4." He's deserving of his first All-Star spot with his conference-best 9.6 assists per game average.
Brandon Jennings, Milwaukee — His 55-point game early in this, his rookie season, put him on the map. He's tailed off a bit after his fast start, but is still averaging 18.5 points and six assists per game, which puts him at an All-Star level. Plus, he's just fun to watch.

The dish on Long Island's restaurant and food scene.
Mermaid Asian Bistro & Bar replaces the short-lived 3 Cuzins Asian Bistro in Ronkonkoma. Unlike its predecessor, this place has a sushi bar — although not in the main dining room but sequestered in a little alcove.
The night I went, I sat in the main dining space, which, truth be told, needed better heating. A bowl of robust wonton soup, with delicate dumplings, took the edge off my chill. So, too, did a surprisingly nuanced and fiery red curry with chicken — a true find at a non-Thai restaurant. A sushi platter featured fresh, nicely cut finfish over rice that, although ideal in texture, was a tad too cold.
Overall, a promising new spot.
Mermaid Asian Bistro & Bar is at 846 Portion Rd., Ronkonkoma, 631-588-8885.

It is a Warnant system Flobert, beefed up from the original design with a "trapdoor" breechblock. Still not real strong and not of very high grade metal. They were sold all over the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A large number of used guns were imported here in the 1990s, most in very worn condition. Not worth a lot of cash, so it is nice to have a story to go along with it.
Nearly all were made in Belgium, many by Peiper, which was a major company at the time.
If Jim K.'s prediction on a fresh supply of .32 rimfire ammunition pans out, there will be dancing in the streets. There are a lot of .32 rfs out there that people would like to try out.

As persecution increases, your family needs your support to keep faith and hope alive
- Leader: King Abdullah II
- Population: 7.9 million (169,000 Christians)
- Main Religion: Islam
- Government: Constitutional monarchy
- World Watch List Rank: 27
- Source of Persecution: Islamic extremism
Jordan has long been one of the Middle East's more liberal countries for religious freedom, but the tide is turning for Christians.
Expat Christians and historical Christian communities are relatively free - as long as they do not evangelise Muslims. But believers from Muslim backgrounds face serious oppression from local authorities, non-Christian religious leaders, even their own families. The large number of Muslim refugees from Syria and Iraq, combined with the rise of radical Islam, is also putting increasing pressure on Christians.
Please Pray
- For protection and healing for Christian converts interrogated by police and abused or abducted by family members
- That the refugee crisis would provide an opportunity for churches to share God's love
- For Muslims to be touched by the love of their Christian neighbours and drawn to Christ.
How we help
In cooperation with local partners and churches, Open Doors is supporting the church in Jordan through:
- Training programmes
- Relief and rehabilitation projects
- Research.

R-ICE and High-Dose Cyclophosphamide With PET/CT for Diffuse Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
This research is being done to see if a PET scan that is obtained after 3 cycles of a standard chemotherapy regimen can help guide treatment for patients with a blood disease called Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
The standard treatment for newly diagnosed lymphoma is 6 to 8 cycles of chemotherapy like the CHOP combination (Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisone). This regimen can cure about half of patients with lymphoma, but in many others disease relapses (comes back). Relapses are generally treated with more chemotherapy.
We believe that a PET scan (a type of imaging study that "lights up" in areas of cells with high activity such as lymphoma), may identify patients early who are at high risk of relapse.
The purpose of this research study is to find out if people whose treatment is changed early to an intensification regimen (high dose chemotherapy) based on a positive PET scan will have longer remissions than they would if they did not receive that high dose chemotherapy.

Bradley testing Odyssey Jailbird putter
March 05, 2014
By Jonathan Wall, PGATOUR.COM
- Jonathan Wall/PGATOUR.COM
DORAL, Fla. -- Keegan Bradley isn't what you'd call a big equipment tinkerer. The major winner has been known to thrown in a fresh wedge with new stamping or add a new driver on occasion, but for the most part, the rest of the clubs in his bag bag rarely, if ever, change.
His Cleveland CG7 irons were first released in 2009; his 14-degree Cleveland Launcher FL 3-wood in 2011; and 19-degree Cleveland DST hybrid in 2010.
The same goes for Bradley's Odyssey White Hot XG Sabertooth belly putter -- a high-MOI model he's been using for most of his career. Bradley became the first player to win a major with a long putter when he used the 46.75-inch putter to win the 2011 PGA Championship.
While Bradley has tried different putters in the past -- including a custom Odyssey Versa Sabertooth at last year's Arnold Palmer Invitational -- he's always gone back to his trusty Sabertooth.
Jonathan Wall/PGATOUR.COM
That could be the same case again this week at the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship, but for the moment, it looks like Bradley's considering the idea of putting a new Odyssey Jailbird belly putter in play this week.
According to Johnny Thompson, Odyssey Golf's Tour rep, Bradley got a glimpse of Jailbird -- a model that was unveiled at the Sony Open -- at the beginning of the year and finally decided give it a test run at Trump National Doral.
"I showed [the putter head] to him a while back and told him I could make it in a belly version," Thompson said. "I had it built and he picked it up [Tuesday morning] and has been testing it ever since."
Jailbird is a high-MOI putter -- it actually has a higher MOI than Bradley's Sabertooth -- mallet that looks very similar to the Versa #7. The big difference between the Versa #7 and Jailbird is the addition of a bar on the back of the head that gives the putter "Double Versa Technology."
The additional line -- last year's Versa had three black-and-white lines -- gives the putter four alternating black-and-white lines that allow "the golfer's eyes to key in on linear designs on the putter that accentuate the face angle and contributes to better alignment."
After making a number of lengthy putts in a row, Bradley kept the putter in the bag on Tuesday and was spotted on the practice green working with it again on Wednesday (his old White Hot XG Sabertooth was also in the bag).
Thompson said Jailbird was about 50 grams lighter (350 grams) than Bradley's 400-gram White Hot XG Sabertooth, so a few adjustments were made to get the putter to the same weight. It also features the same White Hot insert and double-bend ski-pole shaft he's been using.

Oh yes. Oh drokk yes. Want. Need. Will have.
Coming this autumn from Dark Horse, The Best of Milligan and McCarthy, reprinting the very rare collaborations between the late Spike Milligan and Senator McCarthy (including the much lauded Red Fred Under The Bed With Uncle Ted). Okay, not really (although perhaps that book exists in a parallel Earth), but this book collects the collaborations of two of the UK scene's most interesting talents, Peter Milligan and Brendan McCarthy, some of which we've not seen in print for far too damned long, so brilliant to hear Dark Horse are publishing this hardback collection in September. This will be going right on to the must-have list for several of us at the blog.
