- Expression and functional relevance of cannabinoid receptor 1 in Hodgkin lymphoma (2013)
- Background: Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) is expressed in certain types of malignancies. An analysis of CB1 expression and function in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), one of the most frequent lymphomas, was not performed to date. Design and Methods: We examined the distribution of CB1 protein in primary cases of HL. Using lymphoma derived cell lines, the role of CB1 signaling on cell survival was investigated. Results: A predominant expression of CB1 was found in Hodgkin-Reed-Sternberg cells in a vast majority of classical HL cases. The HL cell lines L428, L540 and KM-H2 showed strong CB1-abundance and displayed a dose-dependent decline of viability under CB1 inhibition with AM251. Further, application of AM251 led to decrease of constitutively active NFκB/p65, a crucial survival factor of HRS-cells, and was followed by elevation of apoptotic markers in HL cells. Conclusions: The present study identifies CB1 as a feature of HL, which might serve as a potential selective target in the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma.
- Origin and pathogenesis of nodular lymphocyte–predominant Hodgkin lymphoma as revealed by global gene expression analysis (2008)
- The pathogenesis of nodular lymphocyte–predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) and its relationship to other lymphomas are largely unknown. This is partly because of the technical challenge of analyzing its rare neoplastic lymphocytic and histiocytic (L&H) cells, which are dispersed in an abundant nonneoplastic cellular microenvironment. We performed a genome-wide expression study of microdissected L&H lymphoma cells in comparison to normal and other malignant B cells that indicated a relationship of L&H cells to and/or that they originate from germinal center B cells at the transition to memory B cells. L&H cells show a surprisingly high similarity to the tumor cells of T cell–rich B cell lymphoma and classical Hodgkin lymphoma, a partial loss of their B cell phenotype, and deregulation of many apoptosis regulators and putative oncogenes. Importantly, L&H cells are characterized by constitutive nuclear factor {kappa}B activity and aberrant extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling. Thus, these findings shed new light on the nature of L&H cells, reveal several novel pathogenetic mechanisms in NLPHL, and may help in differential diagnosis and lead to novel therapeutic strategies.
- HER2 and ESR1 mRNA expression levels and response to neoadjuvant trastuzumab plus chemotherapy in patients with primary breast cancer (2013)
- Introduction: Recent data suggest that benefit from trastuzumab and chemotherapy might be related to expression of HER2 and estrogen receptor (ESR1). Therefore, we investigated HER2 and ESR1 mRNA levels in core biopsies of HER2-positive breast carcinomas from patients treated within the neoadjuvant GeparQuattro trial. Methods: HER2 levels were centrally analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC), silver in-situ hybridization (SISH) and qRT-PCR in 217 pretherapeutic formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) core biopsies. All tumors had been HER2-positive by local pathology and had been treated with neoadjuvant trastuzumab/ chemotherapy in GeparQuattro. Results: Only 73% of the tumors (158 of 217) were centrally HER2-positive (cHER2-positive) by IHC/SISH, with cHER2-positive tumors showing a significantly higher pCR rate (46.8% vs. 20.3%, p<0.0005). HER2 status by qRT-PCR showed a concordance of 88.5% with the central IHC/SISH status, with a low pCR rate in those tumors that were HER2-negative by mRNA analysis (21.1% vs. 49.6%, p<0.0005). The level of HER2 mRNA expression was linked to response rate in ESR1-positive tumors, but not in ESR1-negative tumors. HER2 mRNA expression was significantly associated with pCR in the HER2-positive/ESR1-positive tumors (p=0.004), but not in HER2-positive/ESR1-negative tumors. Conclusions: Only patients with cHER2-positive tumors - irrespective of the method used - have an increased pCR rate with trastuzumab plus chemotherapy. In patients with cHER2-negative tumors the pCR rate is comparable to the pCR rate in the non-trastuzumab treated HER-negative population. Response to trastuzumab is correlated to HER2 mRNA levels only in ESR1-positive tumors. This study adds further evidence to the different biology of both subsets within the HER2-positive group.
- Mathematical modeling of oncogenesis control in mature T-cell populations (2013)
- T-cell receptor (TCR) polyclonal mature T cells are surprisingly resistant to oncogenic transformation after retroviral insertion of T-cell oncogenes. In a mouse model, it has been shown that mature T-cell lymphoma/leukemia (MTCLL) is not induced upon transplantation of mature, TCR polyclonal wild-type (WT) T cells, transduced with gammaretroviral vectors encoding potent T-cell oncogenes, into RAG1-deficient recipients. However, further studies demonstrated that quasi-monoclonal T cells treated with the same protocol readily induced MTCLL in the recipient mice. It has been hypothesized that in the TCR polyclonal situation, outgrowth of preleukemic cells and subsequent conversion to overt malignancy is suppressed through regulation of clonal abundances on a per-clone basis due to interactions between TCRs and self-peptide-MHC-complexes (spMHCs), while these mechanisms fail in the quasi-monoclonal situation. To quantitatively study this hypothesis, we applied a mathematical modeling approach. In particular, we developed a novel ordinary differential equation model of T-cell homeostasis, in which T-cell fate depends on spMHC-TCR-interaction-triggered stimulatory signals from antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Based on our mathematical modeling approach, we identified parameter configurations of our model, which consistently explain the observed phenomena. Our results suggest that the preleukemic cells are less competent than healthy competitor cells in acquiring survival stimuli from APCs, but that proliferation of these preleukemic cells is less dependent on survival stimuli from APCs. These predictions now call for experimental validation.
- GLUT1 expression patterns in different Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes and progressively transformed germinal centers (2012)
- Background: Increased glycolytic activity is a hallmark of cancer, allowing staging and restaging with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron-emission-tomography (PET). Since interim-PET is an important prognostic tool in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), the aim of this study was to investigate the expression of proteins involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism in the different HL subtypes and their impact on clinical outcome. Methods: Lymph node biopsies from 54 HL cases and reactive lymphoid tissue were stained for glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) and lactate exporter proteins MCT1 and MCT4. In a second series, samples from additional 153 HL cases with available clinical data were stained for GLUT1 and LDHA. Results: Membrane bound GLUT1 expression was frequently observed in the tumor cells of HL (49% of all cases) but showed a broad variety between the different Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes: Nodular sclerosing HL subtype displayed a membrane bound GLUT1 expression in the Hodgkin-and Reed-Sternberg cells in 56% of the cases. However, membrane bound GLUT1 expression was more rarely observed in tumor cells of lymphocyte rich classical HL subtype (30%) or nodular lymphocyte predominant HL subtype (15%). Interestingly, in both of these lymphocyte rich HL subtypes as well as in progressively transformed germinal centers, reactive B cells displayed strong expression of GLUT1. LDHA, acting downstream of glycolysis, was also expressed in 44% of all cases. We evaluated the prognostic value of different GLUT1 and LDHA expression patterns; however, no significant differences in progression free or overall survival were found between patients exhibiting different GLUT1 or LDHA expression patterns. There was no correlation between GLUT1 expression in HRS cells and PET standard uptake values. Conclusions: In a large number of cases, HRS cells in classical HL express high levels of GLUT1 and LDHA indicating glycolytic activity in the tumor cells. Although interim-PET is an important prognostic tool, a predictive value of GLUT1 or LDHA staining of the primary diagnostic biopsy could not be demonstrated. However, we observed GLUT1 expression in progressively transformed germinal centers and hyperplastic follicles, explaining false positive results in PET. Therefore, PET findings suggestive of HL relapse should always be confirmed by histology.
- Nodular lymphocyte predominant hodgkin lymphoma and T cell/histiocyte rich large B cell lymphoma--endpoints of a spectrum of one disease? (2013)
- In contrast to the commonly indolent clinical behavior of nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL), T cell/histiocyte rich large B cell lymphoma (THRLBCL) is frequently diagnosed in advanced clinical stages and has a poor prognosis. Besides the different clinical presentations of these lymphoma entities, there are variants of NLPHL with considerable histopathologic overlap compared to THRLBCL. Especially THRLBCL-like NLPHL, a diffuse form of NLPHL, often presents a histopathologic pattern similar to THRLBCL, suggesting a close relationship between both lymphoma entities. To corroborate this hypothesis, we performed gene expression profiling of microdissected tumor cells of NLPHL, THRLBCL-like NLPHL and THRLBCL. In unsupervised analyses, the lymphomas did not cluster according to their entity. Moreover, even in supervised analyses, very few consistently differentially expressed transcripts were found, and for these genes the extent of differential expression was only moderate. Hence, there are no clear and consistent differences in the gene expression of the tumor cells of NLPHL, THRLBCL-like NLPHL and THRLBCL. Based on the gene expression studies, we identified BAT3/BAG6, HIGD1A, and FAT10/UBD as immunohistochemical markers expressed in the tumor cells of all three lymphomas. Characterization of the tumor microenvironment for infiltrating T cells and histiocytes revealed significant differences in the cellular composition between typical NLPHL and THRLBCL cases. However, THRLBCL-like NLPHL presented a histopathologic pattern more related to THRLBCL than NLPHL. In conclusion, NLPHL and THRLBCL may represent a spectrum of the same disease. The different clinical behavior of these lymphomas may be strongly influenced by differences in the lymphoma microenvironment, possibly related to the immune status of the patient at the timepoint of diagnosis.
- Diffuse large B cell lymphoma derived from nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma presents with variable histopathology (2014)
- Background: Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) usually presents in middle aged men and shows an indolent clinical behavior. However, up to 30% of the patients present a secondary transformation into aggressive diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The aim of the present study was to characterize morphology and immunophenotype of this kind of DLBCL in detail and compare it with conventional DLBCL. Methods: Morphology and immunophenotype of 33 cases of NLPHL with simultaneous or sequential transformation into DLBCL were investigated. These cases were compared with 41 de novo DLBCL in Finnish men. Results: The majority of cases exhibited different immunophenotypes in the NLPHL and the DLBCL components. The immunophenotype of the DLBCL secondary to NLPHL was heterogeneous. However, BCL6, EMA, CD75 and J-chain were usually expressed in both components (≥73% positive). Overall, the NLPHL component was more frequently positive for EMA, CD75 and J-chain than the DLBCL component. In contrast, B cell markers, CD10 and BCL2, were more frequently expressed and were expressed at higher levels in the DLBCL component than in the NLPHL component. In the independent series of de novo DLBCL 4 cases could be identified with a growth pattern and immunophenotype that suggested that they had arisen secondarily from NLPHL. Conclusions: The morphology and immunophenotype of DLBCL arisen from NLPHL is heterogeneous. Further characterization of the particular molecular features of this subgroup is warranted to be able to better identify these cases among conventional DLBCL.
- QPRT: a potential marker for follicular thyroid carcinoma including minimal invasive variant : a gene expression, RNA and immunohistochemical study (2009)
- Background The differential diagnosis between follicular thyroid adenoma and minimal invasive follicular thyroid carcinoma is often difficult for several reasons. One major aspect is the lack of typical cytological criteria in well differentiated specimens. New marker molecules, shown by poly- or monoclonal antibodies proved helpful. Methods We performed global gene expression analysis of 12 follicular thyroid tumours (4 follicular adenomas, 4 minimal invasive follicular carcinomas and 4 widely invasive follicular carcinomas), followed by immunohistochemical staining of 149 cases. The specificity of the antibody was validated by western blot analysis Results In gene expression analysis QPRT was detected as differently expressed between follicular thyroid adenoma and follicular thyroid carcinoma. QPRT protein could be detected by immunohistochemistry in 65% of follicular thyroid carcinomas including minimal invasive variant and only 22% of follicular adenomas. Conclusion Consequently, QPRT is a potential new marker for the immunohistochemical screening of follicular thyroid nodules.
- A comprehensive microarray-based DNA methylation study of 367 hematological neoplasms (2009)
- Background: Alterations in the DNA methylation pattern are a hallmark of leukemias and lymphomas. However, most epigenetic studies in hematologic neoplasms (HNs) have focused either on the analysis of few candidate genes or many genes and few HN entities, and comprehensive studies are required. Methodology/Principal Findings: Here, we report for the first time a microarray-based DNA methylation study of 767 genes in 367 HNs diagnosed with 16 of the most representative B-cell (n = 203), T-cell (n = 30), and myeloid (n = 134) neoplasias, as well as 37 samples from different cell types of the hematopoietic system. Using appropriate controls of B-, T-, or myeloid cellular origin, we identified a total of 220 genes hypermethylated in at least one HN entity. In general, promoter hypermethylation was more frequent in lymphoid malignancies than in myeloid malignancies, being germinal center mature B-cell lymphomas as well as B and T precursor lymphoid neoplasias those entities with highest frequency of gene-associated DNA hypermethylation. We also observed a significant correlation between the number of hypermethylated and hypomethylated genes in several mature B-cell neoplasias, but not in precursor B- and T-cell leukemias. Most of the genes becoming hypermethylated contained promoters with high CpG content, and a significant fraction of them are targets of the polycomb repressor complex. Interestingly, T-cell prolymphocytic leukemias show low levels of DNA hypermethylation and a comparatively large number of hypomethylated genes, many of them showing an increased gene expression. Conclusions/Significance: We have characterized the DNA methylation profile of a wide range of different HNs entities. As well as identifying genes showing aberrant DNA methylation in certain HN subtypes, we also detected six genes—DBC1, DIO3, FZD9, HS3ST2, MOS, and MYOD1—that were significantly hypermethylated in B-cell, T-cell, and myeloid malignancies. These might therefore play an important role in the development of different HNs.
- TNFAIP3 (A20) is a tumor suppressor gene in Hodgkin lymphoma and primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma (2009)
- Proliferation and survival of Hodgkin and Reed/Sternberg (HRS) cells, the malignant cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), are dependent on constitutive activation of nuclear factor {kappa}B (NF-{kappa}B). NF-{kappa}B activation through various stimuli is negatively regulated by the zinc finger protein A20. To determine whether A20 contributes to the pathogenesis of cHL, we sequenced TNFAIP3, encoding A20, in HL cell lines and laser-microdissected HRS cells from cHL biopsies. We detected somatic mutations in 16 out of 36 cHLs (44%), including missense mutations in 2 out of 16 Epstein-Barr virus–positive (EBV+) cHLs and a missense mutation, nonsense mutations, and frameshift-causing insertions or deletions in 14 out of 20 EBV– cHLs. In most mutated cases, both TNFAIP3 alleles were inactivated, including frequent chromosomal deletions of TNFAIP3. Reconstitution of wild-type TNFAIP3 in A20-deficient cHL cell lines revealed a significant decrease in transcripts of selected NF-{kappa}B target genes and caused cytotoxicity. Extending the mutation analysis to primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma (PMBL), another lymphoma with constitutive NF-{kappa}B activity, revealed destructive mutations in 5 out of 14 PMBLs (36%). This report identifies TNFAIP3 (A20), a key regulator of NF-{kappa}B activity, as a novel tumor suppressor gene in cHL and PMBL. The significantly higher frequency of TNFAIP3 mutations in EBV– than EBV+ cHL suggests complementing functions of TNFAIP3 inactivation and EBV infection in cHL pathogenesis.

Hildegard of Bingen -The Remarkable Journey of a 12th
Century Mystic - Performed at St. John the Beloved
"A Feather on the Breath of God" brings to life the story of the medieval mystic, Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179). Professional actress Carol Anderson portrays Hildegard as a vibrant combination of wisdom, wit and passion.
Anderson has performed "A Feather on the Breath of God" nationally at conferences, churches, universities and events such as Charleston's Piccolo Festival. On Sunday, March 10 at 4:00 P.M., Anderson will be bringing what has been described as a "gem of a one hour show," to St. John the Beloved Catholic Church (28 Sumter Ave., Summerville).
For those who aren't familiar with Hildegard of Bingen, hers is the story of an obscure uneducated nun who went on to become an author, poet, musician, healer, naturalist, and prophetic voice for her time. Her counsel was sought after by everyone from the local peasants to the papacy of Rome, Eleanor of Aquitaine and King Henry II. Hildegard's odyssey began as she states in her own words: "When I was 42 years and 7 months old, a burning light of tremendous brightness poured into my entire mind, inflamed my entire heart. A voice from heaven said to me. 'Write and speak what you see and hear.'"
Hildegard's struggle to obey God's voice and express herself in the face of the politics of her times creates a fascinating story of faith and courage. "A Feather on the Breath of God" has engaged audiences across the country. Dr. Bruce Hozeski Founder of the Intl. Society of Hildegard von Bingen Studies says, "When I saw the performance I was truly astonished...a marvelously
accurate and entertaining portrayal of Hildegard."
Sue Monk Kidd, best selling author of the Secret Life of Bees says, "It was an incredible performance. But it was more than a performance, it was inspired. I've seen a lot on Broadway and this performance was up there with
some of the best."
Writer and actress Carol Anderson says of the play, "I am amazed each time I perform it how this piece speaks into lives today. Hildegard was an ordinary woman who stepped out and did extraordinary things. She inspires
us to do the same with our call. It's great to be able to perform her story."
"A Feather on the Breath of God" is presented as a gift to the community through support of the St. John the Beloved Music and Art Series. Donations of $10 for adults or $5 for students will help to continue to support the concert series. Patrons should pay as they able; those who cannot donate are still warmly welcomed.

Constitutional Court of Azerbaijan Rules on Legality of Loans Denominated in Foreign Currency
One consequence of this move was that loans granted by local banks to local customers in foreign currency became more expensive, because the Azerbaijani Manat was weakened by 25 percent. This raised a question of whether foreign currency denominated loans between Azerbaijani residents were even constitutional.
The fairness test
The use of compulsory powers by acquiring authorities to secure regeneration of their towns and cities is on the increase, and for those whose interests are subject to CPO there is almost a tacit acceptance that for sensible proposals the confirmation of a CPO is an inevitability, met equally sometimes with an arrogance by the promoting authority and developer that that will be the case.

Jordan, Arab country of Southwest Asia, in the rocky desert of the northern Arabian Peninsula.
Jordan is a young state that occupies an ancient land, one that bears the traces of many civilizations. Separated from ancient Palestine by the Jordan River, the region played a prominent role in biblical history. The ancient biblical kingdoms of Moab, Gilead, and Edom lie within its borders, as does the famed red stone city of Petra, the capital of the Nabatean kingdom and of the Roman province of Arabia Petraea. British traveler Gertrude Bell said of Petra, "It is like a fairy tale city, all pink and wonderful." Part of the Ottoman Empire until 1918 and later a mandate of the United Kingdom, Jordan has been an independent kingdom since 1946. It is among the most politically liberal countries of the Arab world, and, although it shares in the troubles affecting the region, its rulers have expressed a commitment to maintaining peace and stability.
The capital and largest city in the country is Amman—named for the Ammonites, who made the city their capital in the 13th century bce. Amman was later a great city of Middle Eastern antiquity, Philadelphia, of the Roman Decapolis, and now serves as one of the region's principal commercial and transportation centres as well as one of the Arab world's major cultural capitals.
Slightly smaller in area than the country of Portugal, Jordan is bounded to the north by Syria, to the east by Iraq, to the southeast and south by Saudi Arabia, and to the west by Israel and the West Bank. The West Bank area (so named because it lies just west of the Jordan River) was under Jordanian rule from 1948 to 1967, but in 1988 Jordan renounced its claims to the area. Jordan has 16 miles (26 km) of coastline on the Gulf of Aqaba in the southwest, where Al-ʿAqabah, its only port, is located.
Jordan has three major physiographic regions (from east to west): the desert, the uplands east of the Jordan River, and the Jordan Valley (the northwest portion of the great East African Rift System).
The desert region is mostly within the Syrian Desert—an extension of the Arabian Desert—and occupies the eastern and southern parts of the country, comprising more than four-fifths of its territory. The desert's northern part is composed of volcanic lava and basalt, and its southern part of outcrops of sandstone and granite. The landscape is much eroded, primarily by wind. The uplands east of the Jordan River, an escarpment overlooking the rift valley, have an average elevation of 2,000–3,000 feet (600–900 metres) and rise to about 5,755 feet (1,754 metres) at Mount Ramm, Jordan's highest point, in the south. Outcrops of sandstone, chalk, limestone, and flint extend to the extreme south, where igneous rocks predominate.
The Jordan Valley drops to an average of 1,312 feet (400 metres) below sea level at the Dead Sea, the lowest natural point on the Earth's surface.
The Jordan River, approximately 186 miles (300 km) in length, meanders south, draining the waters of Lake Tiberias (better known as the Sea of Galilee), the Yarmūk River, and the valley streams of both plateaus into the Dead Sea, which occupies the central area of the valley. The soil of its lower reaches is highly saline, and the shores of the Dead Sea consist of salt marshes that do not support vegetation. To its south, Wadi al-ʿArabah (also called Wadi al-Jayb), a completely desolate region, is thought to contain mineral resources.
In the northern uplands several valleys containing perennial streams run west; around Al-Karak they flow west, east, and north; south of Al-Karak intermittent valley streams run east toward Al-Jafr Depression.
The country's best soils are found in the Jordan Valley and in the area southeast of the Dead Sea. The topsoil in both regions consists of alluvium—deposited by the Jordan River and washed from the uplands, respectively—with the soil in the valley generally being deposited in fans spread over various grades of marl.
Jordan's climate varies from Mediterranean in the west to desert in the east and south, but the land is generally arid. The proximity of the Mediterranean Sea is the major influence on climates, although continental air masses and elevation also modify it. Average monthly temperatures at Amman in the north range between 46 and 78 °F (8 and 26 °C), while at Al-ʿAqabah in the far south they range between 60 and 91 °F (16 and 33 °C). The prevailing winds throughout the country are westerly to southwesterly, but spells of hot, dry, dusty winds blowing from the southeast off the Arabian Peninsula frequently occur and bring the country its most uncomfortable weather. Known locally as the khamsin, these winds blow most often in the early and late summer and can last for several days at a time before terminating abruptly as the wind direction changes and much cooler air follows.
Precipitation occurs in the short, cool winters, decreasing from 16 inches (400 mm) annually in the northwest near the Jordan River to less than 4 inches (100 mm) in the south. In the uplands east of the Jordan River, the annual total is about 14 inches (355 mm). The valley itself has a yearly average of 8 inches (200 mm), and the desert regions receive one-fourth of that. Occasional snow and frost occur in the uplands but are rare in the rift valley. As the population increases, water shortages in the major towns are becoming one of Jordan's crucial problems.
Plant and animal life
The flora of Jordan falls into three distinct types: Mediterranean, steppe (treeless plains), and desert. In the uplands the Mediterranean type predominates with scrubby, dense bushes and small trees, while in the drier steppe region to the east species of the genus Artemisia (wormwood) are most frequent. Grasses are the prevalent vegetation on the steppe, but isolated trees and shrubs, such as lotus fruit and the Mount Atlas pistachio, also occur. In the desert, vegetation grows meagrely in depressions and on the sides and floors of the valleys after the scant winter rains.
Only a tiny portion of Jordan's area is forested, most of it occurring in the rocky highlands. These forests have survived the depredations of villagers and nomads alike. The Jordanian government promotes reforestation by providing free seedlings to farmers. In the higher regions of the uplands, the predominant types of trees are the Aleppo oak (Quercus infectoria Olivier), the kermes oak (Quercus coccinea), the Palestinian pistachio (Pistacia palaestina), the Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis), and the eastern strawberry tree (Arbutus andrachne). Wild olives also are found there, and the Phoenician juniper (Juniperus phoenicea L.) occurs in the regions with lower rainfall. The national flower is the black iris (Iris nigricans).
The varied wildlife includes wild boars, ibex, and a species of wild goat found in the gorges and in the ʿAyn al-Azraq oasis. Hares, jackals, foxes, wildcats, hyenas, wolves, gazelles, blind mole rats, mongooses, and a few leopards also inhabit the area. Centipedes, scorpions, and various types of lizards are found as well. Birds include the golden eagle and the vulture, while wild fowl include the pigeon and the partridge.
Ethnic groups
The overwhelming majority of the people are Arabs, principally Jordanians and Palestinians; there is also a significant minority of Bedouin, who were by far the largest indigenous group before the influx of Palestinians following the Arab-Israeli wars of 1948–49 and 1967. Jordanians of Bedouin heritage remain committed to the Hāshimite regime, which has ruled the country since 1923, despite having become a minority there. Although the Palestinian population is often critical of the monarchy, Jordan is the only Arab country to grant wide-scale citizenship to Palestinian refugees. Other minorities include a number of Iraqis who fled to Jordan as a result of the Persian Gulf War and Iraq War. There are also smaller Circassian (known locally as Cherkess or Jarkas) and Armenian communities. A small number of Turkmen (who speak either an ancient form of the Turkmen language or the Azeri language) also reside in Jordan.
The indigenous Arabs, whether Muslim or Christian, used to trace their ancestry from the northern Arabian Qaysī (Maʿddī, Nizārī, ʿAdnānī, or Ismāʿīlī) tribes or from the southern Arabian Yamanī (Banū Kalb or Qaḥṭānī) groups. Only a few tribes and towns have continued to observe this Qaysī-Yamanī division—a pre-Islamic split that was once an important, although broad, source of social identity as well as a point of social friction and conflict.
1In October 2013 two royal decrees to dissolve the 60-member Senate and to appoint a new 75-member Senate were issued; 9 seats are reserved for women.
2Expanded to 150 members after elections in January 2013; 15 seats are reserved for women.

Hello Denise,
Are you talking about "April" of 2010? or was this a typo? Have a blessed day!
Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)—Legal matters may have a bit of a hook in them midweek. Slow down your process, and then take the reins again by week's end. You may need to let another catch up to where you're coming from for a short period. You have basically "left the building," and so far, some of those around you have not been able to find you quite yet. By April 1, everything is aligned as it should be. Do not force the issues quite yet.

Googlebombs (or link bombs) are attempts to manipulate the search results for a query by linking to the site you want to be the top result using that query as an anchor. Some of the most famous Googlebombs have political messages. For example, a lot of people who didn't like George W. Bush promoted his home page as the number one result for "miserable failure" and later even for "failure".
Other examples of Googlebombs: [talentless hack], [liar] for Tony Blair, [French military victories] who returns this top result.
Google's official reaction was: "We don't condone the practice of googlebombing, or any other action that seeks to affect the integrity of our search results, but we're also reluctant to alter our results by hand in order to prevent such items from showing up. Pranks like this may be distracting to some, but they don't affect the overall quality of our search service, whose objectivity, as always, remains the core of our mission."
But it seems that Google received too many complaints to continue to ignore this problem and from now on we won't see too many Googlebombs, as Google updated their algorithms for these special cases. "By improving our analysis of the link structure of the web, Google has begun minimizing the impact of many Googlebombs. Now we will typically return commentary, discussions, and articles about the Googlebombs instead." That means we won't see too many famous Googlebombs (French military victories still works, but miserable failure doesn't work anymore).
It's very hard to guess someone's intention when linking to a site: maybe he wants to plant a Google bomb, maybe he was paid to include a text link ad, maybe someone spammed the site and placed links to his "pharmaceutical" sites, maybe he linked to a site and that site changed its topic, maybe that link was included in the template of the site or maybe he made a mistake when typing the URL. Google tries to discover unnatural links (for example, they aren't about the topic of the site) and reduces their effect.
Most likely, the new algorithm tries to guess if a query was Googlebombed and biases the search results toward pages that talk about the Googlebomb. But this won't work for new Googlebombs because no news site talks about them before they're actually effective, so I think we'll see more people trying to defeat Google's algorithm and place their Googlebomb in these restrictive conditions.

Rivalry Rundown
UNM: The Lobos swept the Rio Grande Rivalry Series this season with a 60-37 win over the Aggies at The Pit on Nov. 20 and a 60-44 victory in Las Cruces on Dec. 18. In game one, the Aggies had trouble making shots, but kept the stats similar to the Lobos. The Aggies collected 44 rebounds on the evening with six assists and two blocks. The Lobos were quite similar to NM State with 43 boards, but tallied 16 assists on the evening. Game two finished in similar fashion with the Lobos claiming a 60-44 victory over NM State at the Pan Am on Dec. 18. The loss at home marked the first of the 2012-13 season. Sasha Weber led the Aggies with 10 points and three rebounds on the evening. The Aggies shot 30.4 percent from the floor but tallied eight steals as a team with 27 rebounds. Those stats were not enough to hold off the Lobos who finished the game shooting 47.5 percent from the field and picking up 42 rebounds on the night.
UTEP: NM State took game one of the Battle of I-10 rivalry series with a late game battle to a 69-68 win over the Miners. UTEP maintained the lead throughout most of the game, gaining as much as a 15 point lead in the first half, but Stefanie Gilbreath finished her first Battle of I-10 game with a stellar 22 points to collect a regular-season career high. She went 5-for-8 on three pointers and picking up eight rebounds to match her career-high. Sophomore Danesia Williamson also picked up a career-high with 23 points on the game with a solid 10-of-12 at the line. Game two was set to a different tune with the Miners running away early with the 66- 44 win over NM State in El Paso. The Aggies struggled on offense, scoring just 14 points in the first half of play. The second half was a bit more positive as Williamson collected 13 points in the half with two field goals and one three pointer. She was 6-for- 6 at the line with four rebounds. Jasmine Rutledge finished the game with 11 points on the evening and compiled nine points at the line to mark a new career best for the junior.
Tournament Champs: The New Mexico State Aggies claimed the Aggie Hotel Encanto Thanksgiving Classic tournament title with a stellar 50-44 win over UC Irvine on Saturday evening at the Pan American Center. The previous night, the Aggies claimed a 55-52 win over the Patriots of George Mason. With the 2-0 record on the tournament, NM State's Kelsie Rozendaal and Sasha Weber were named to the All-Tournament team. Rozendaal was also selected tournament MVP for her work on the hardwood.
Trakh Signs Five to NLI: Head coach Mark Trakh announces that five high school players have signed National Letters of Intent to join the Aggies in the fall of 2013. Trakh is in his second season with NM State and has led the Aggies to a 1-0 start to the 2012-13 season. Joining the Aggies in 2013 are Tamera Williams of Centennial High School (Las Vegas, Nev.), Brianna Freeman of Harker Heights High School (Killeen, Texas), Vanessa Garner of Archbishop Mitty High School (Milpitas, Calif.), Moriah Mack of Reagan High School (San Antonio, Texas), and Brandee Walton of St. Mary's High School (Phoenix, Az.)
Last Season: Under the helm of first-year head coach, Mark Trakh, the Aggies finished the 2011-12 season with a 6-24 overall season record. This left NM State with a 3-11 Western Athletic Conference record. The Aggies made an appearance at the WAC Championships at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. (3/7). The Aggies were seeded eighth in the tournament but were quickly booted out by No. 1 66-58 State. Senior guard Tabitha Wampler was the most recent Aggie to join the 1,000 Point Club with a career 1,254 points (2008-12). She joins former teammates Danisha Corbett and Madison Spence along with Aggie great Anita Maxwell (2,601) and Andrea Kabwasa (1,788). Another highlight for the Aggies in 2011-12 was coach Trakh coaching his 500th game of his career as a Division I head coach. In his 17th year on the sidelines, the floor general notched the milestone against Hawai'i in Las Cruces Feb. 16.
Historical Season:
-- The 2012-13 season marks the 40th season of Aggie women's basketball. The first season was 1973-74.
-- This season also marks 25 years since the Aggies last NCAA tournament appearance. The 1987-88 team was the last in program history to receive an NCAA berth.
Potential Milestone: With 12 total wins this season, NM State will make its 600th victory in program history. With the current 9-14 record, the Aggies sit at 596-536 all-time.

Eagles host Lee County to resume rivalry
Lee County (2-1) at Western Harnett (0-3) - 7:30 p.m.
Last meeting - Lee County 27, Western Harnett 0 (Aug. 20, 2010)
The Yellow Jackets and Eagles played every season, for a stretch as conference rivals as well, before a two-season gap in the series.
The Jackets go into tonight off a 28-26 loss to Athens Drive in Sanford. The Jacket offense, as it did in starting 2-0 with two easy victories, made a lot happen. Against the Jaguars though, some of what happened was good for the Jackets and some of what happened was good for the visitors.
Junior quarterback Duane' Bland went 12-for-20 passing for 174 yards and rushed 13 times for 105 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw three interceptions.
Jerry Pullum carries 12 times for 119 yards and two touchdowns while catching three passes for 47 yards. Keyonta McDougald led the Jacket receivers with four catches for 89 yards.
Western Harnett has scored 12 points total in its three losses. The Eagles are getting some production on the ground with running back Jae'Pell Ortiz carrying for 121 yards and fullback Laron Gilchrist gaining 111 yards so far on the season.
While this is Lee County's first season as a 3A program, Western Harnett will be the first 3A foe the Jackets have faced.
Lee County, from 2006-10, has won four of the last five games in the series.
Triton (3-0) at Southern Lee (1-2) - 7:30 p.m.
Last meeting - Triton 27, Southern Lee 6 (Sept. 26, 2008)
The Cavaliers welcome Triton, and the Hawks' 21-game regular-season winning streak, to Cavalier Stadium tonight.
Hitting big plays and scoring points have not been problems for the Cavaliers under first-year head coach Don Simon. Junior quarterback Emond Caldwell and senior wide receiver Aaron Blockmon connected for three touchdown passes last Friday in a 36-31 loss at St. Pauls, giving Blockmon five touchdown catches on the season. Blockmon has 28 receptions for 567 yards in three games.
The 36 points allowed, however, meant the Cavs have given up 92 points in two games.
Triton, the three-time defending champs of the Eastern Carolina Conference, although now a member of the largely-similar Two Rivers, has romped over Harnett County rivals the last two Fridays.
Senior quarterback Jeremy Leggett has seven touchdowns passing versus one interception. Senior Zach Wade has 34 carries for 140 yards and two touchdowns. The Hawks are averaging 192 rushing yards a game total.
The Cavalier offense is averaging 236 passing yards and 158 rushing yards on the season.
Northwood (3-0) at Carrboro (3-0) - 7:30 p.m.
Last season - Carrboro 20, Northwood 17
The Chargers and Jaguars are no longer conference rivals but the series continues despite NCHSAA realignment.
Northwood's record-setting passing attack took a week off last Friday, yet the Chargers still beat county rival Jordan-Matthews 22-6.
Jalen Smith returned a punt 35 yards for a touchdown. The Chargers recovered a Jet fumble on a punt return. The Charger defense turned in five sacks and two interceptions.
Following a 9-6 Charger lead at the half over the Jets, Kadarus Rone topped 100 yards rushing in the second half.
Carrboro enters the night after a 29-28 win at Chapel Hill last Friday.
Parkland (0-3) at Pinecrest (3-0) - 7:30 p.m.
The Patriots jumped out to big first-half leads for their first two wins, then rallied from an 18-0 second-quarter deficit to win 37-25 at Beddingfield last week in Wilson.
After the slow start, the Patriot offense piled up many of the same stats they've done in each of the three victories.
Sophomore quarterback Christian Ledbetter went 10-for-14 passing for 160 yards and three touchdowns. Troy Roper had 28 carries for 128 yards and a touchdown and four catches for 62 yards and a touchdown.
Facing guests from Winston-Salem tonight, the Patriots are trying for their first 4-0 start since 2010.
Trinity (3-0) at Union Pines (2-1) - 7:30 p.m.
Trying to build on back-to-back wins, the Vikings host 2A Trinity tonight and will be trying to surpass their win total from last season in four weeks.
Comparing scores might or might not tell a spectator much, but, for what it's worth - Trinity beat North Moore 46-14 on the opening night of the season, then topped East Montgomery 13-6 last Friday. Union Pines fell 27-22 to East Montgomery in week one, then routed North Moore 48-6, and edged Providence Grove 28-20 last Friday.
The Vikings held Providence Grove on a fourth-down play at the Viking 4-yard line with 0:13 left to seal the victory.
Senior running back Kaleb Johnson rushed 23 times for 164 yards and a touchdown as the Vikings totaled 227 yards on the ground versus the Patriots.
Junior running back D.J. Pratt leads Trinity's offense with 416 yards and four touchdowns on the season.
Parkwood (1-2) at Jordan-Matthews (2-1) - 7:30 p.m.
The Jets were handed their first loss of the season last Friday in Pittsboro. Northwood was the first opposing defense to match up well against the Jet ground game.
Josh Hudson's 33-yard touchdown pass to Cyrus Scotton drew the Jets within a 9-6 deficit and that was the halftime score. That was it for the Jet offense, though.
Parkwood, a 2A school, fell 38-31 at Piedmont last Friday.
Harnett Central (1-2) at Overhills (1-2) - 7:30 p.m.
Last season - Overhills 58, Harnett Central 0
Last season, Overhills started out 0-3 before going on to win a share of the Cape Fear Valley and reach the second round of the 3A state playoffs.
This year, the Jaguars were 0-2 before routing Western Harnett 33-3 last Friday.
Sophomore quarterback Deshaun Phillips, who started the season as second-string, threw three touchdown passes; two going to Julio Martinez.
The Jaguars will be trying to take two of three within the Harnett rivalries.
The Trojans won two Fridays ago before losing 48-6 to Triton last week. Harnett Central's running game was outstanding in its win, but held in check by the Hawks. Daniel Evans rushed for 69 yards and Thomas Staton added 60 yards for the Trojans last Friday.
Chatham Central (1-2) at West Montgomery (2-1) - 7:30 p.m.
Last season - West Montgomery 48, Chatham Central 28
The Bears got their first win of the season last Friday, beating visiting Kestrel Heights 42-16. Now, the Bears face their first road game and first Yadkin Valley contest.
Junior quarterback Rodney Van De Walker, coming back from an injury in Chatham Central's loss to Jordan-Matthews two weeks ago, rushed eight times for 120 yards and threw two touchdowns in the Bear victory.
West Montgomery won 35-6 versus Rockingham County last week. The Warriors are averaging 276 rushing yards a game and all 12 of their offensive touchdowns have come on the ground.
The Warriors went 4-3 in the YVC and reached the second round of states last fall. The Bears were 2-5 in conference last fall.
South Stanly (0-2) at North Moore (0-3) - 7:30 p.m.
Last season - South Stanly 42, North Moore 6
Yadkin Valley football also kicks off in Robbins tonight.
The Mustangs were making strides in a number of categories through the first two weeks, although in losses to Trinity and Union Pines, before losing 60-0 at South Robeson last Friday.
The Rowdy Rebel Bulls are struggling as well, having lost 54-0 to West Stanly two weeks ago and 41-9 to Anson last Friday in Norwood.

MADISON – Ten months ago, official with Southern West Virginia Community & Technical College approached the Boone County Commission about its desire to purchase a piece of county property for possible expansion plans.
"We are interested in land near the Boone County Transfer Station just off Corridor G (U.S. 119)," said Bill Cook, the college's director of operations, at that meeting.
Last week, college president and West Virginia First Lady Joanne Tomblin and Cook were back to finalize the deal.
"We are here today to let you know we are going to purchase the property," Tomblin said.
The purchase will take place after July 1, 2013, according to Tomblin.
"It will take us that long to get the check processed," she said.
Tomblin said Southern does not have any agenda as far as what they will do with the property initially.
"We might look for other entrepreneurial ventures we can come with initially to assist the community and real-type things for our students to be involved in," she told commissioners.
She added that Southern will know more by next year.
"Next year, the college will undergo a new master facilities planning session with an architect for all of our campuses and at that time we will engage some of our campus folks with some of our community folks with what we will be able to do with the property."
Tomblin said the long-term goal is to put a new campus facility in Boone County on the property when funding becomes available.
The college has a Boone Campus at the Boone Career and Technical Center in Danville, near Foster on state Rt. 3, but needs more room to accommodate its increasing enrollments, she said.
"Our Boone County Campus is maxed out," Tomblin said. "We are seeing more and more students coming in from the Kanawha Valley and we must look down the road at expanding in Boone County as a big part of our future plans."
Tomblin said this would be a great opportunity for both the college and the county.
"We think our expansion will also provide great economic opportunities for Boone County as well," she said. "This is a win-win for the college and the Boone County community."
Southern was recently named one of the top community and technical colleges in the nation.
"With our facilities in Logan and Williamson as well as the great success of our mine academy, we believe there are tremendous educational and economic opportunities for us to expand," Tomblin explained. "We would like to meet with you and your economic development team to share ideas and see what the next steps might be toward our expansion goals."
Tomblin added that there were no plans to shut down the current Boone County Campus, even after any expansion project was completed.
"We have no plans to shut down the current campus in Boone County," she said. "We want to keep it as well as expanding in Boone County at the location we have mentioned."
Boone County Commission President Mickey Brown called the college's expansion proposal "thrilling news."
"We would be thrilled and happy to work with the college to expand into Boone County," Brown said. "The educational opportunities offered by Southern West Virginia Community & Technical College are wonderful and to expand on those opportunities is something we can all get excited about."
Boone Commissioner Eddie Hendricks, who is an educator at Van High School, said he also supports the college's plan to expand in Boone County.
"Our new age of technology has made technical schools like Southern vitally important to students and those seeking to further their education or re-train in another career path," he said. "This is a tremendous opportunity and I support it 100 percent."
Boone County Commissioner Athol l Halstead wanted a commitment from the college that it would not turn around and sell the 11-acre piece of property and that it would be used for education.
"That is our long-term goal," Tomblin said. "We want to build another campus there to go along with new programming and courses we are planning for in this region."

Comments about Justin Boots Justin Men's 12" Western Boots:
I brought these because I saw someone wear similar boots. I have to say they are brilliant. I just love the look of them and the feel. They are really conforatable and look good with a pair of trousers or jeans.I love the fact that they are cross between a Chlesea boot and a westrern boot.I was hightly recommend them!
Comments about Justin Boots Justin Men's 12" Western Boots:
My job requires me to wear dress pants or suits every day. I bought these boots because they are black with a nice shine, and the sole makes them great for use in rainy and snowy weather. I can stand in these all day and my feet still feel great. The boots are easy to take care of.I'm marking these as fitting true to size, but I would say that they run slightly large. Not enough to tell anyone that they should choose a smaller size, but would tell you to wear a slightly thicker sock.
Comments about Justin Boots Justin Men's 12" Western Boots:
I am a criminal defense attorney handling mostly more serious cases (most often murder). Over the years I have worn a variety of Justin Boots for work and for play. But my favorite "wear to Court" boots are your 12" Black polishable Western boots. While they give me the comfort I need as a trial lawyer very much on my feet all day (and one who needs the width in which these boots come), they give me the desired look and feel of the West, which always has an impact on my opponents, the judges and my juries. My only regret is that you don't make a similar pair in dark brown.
Comments about Justin Boots Justin Men's 12" Western Boots:
I am on my fifth pair of Justin boots in the last 15 years. They are so dependable and hold up so well that I can't wear hem out so that I can get a new pair. Praises only to Justin Boots

Thursday, August 22, 2013
Recently I paid homage to the most misunderstood digit of them all in Tall Man.
So, in order to be fair, I need to head down under. I'll be the first to admit it: Toes get a bad rap.
They're kept in the dark most of the time in tight, cramped confines. And if I'm being honest the reason I don't like feet is because of ugly toes. I haven't seen a pretty toe yet.
Hammer toes, toes as crooked as a dog's hind leg, toes covered with more corns than the Nebraska prairie … toes are flat out ugly.
There is an obvious hierarchy among the toes that isn't specifically clear among the fingers.
While the fingers have the leader in the thumb, the other four digits get their own moments to shine.
For example, with a thumbs-up, it's all good. When you have to get at something hard to reach you "pick" Pointer.
Nothing says "I love you" better than ring man, and when you need a loyal and true friend to swear never-ending allegiance, you look no further than Pinky.
Then, of course, there's the much-maligned Tall Man and we've talked about him plenty enough.
There's no question of the pecking order among the toes. In fact, the toes are a lot like the Jackson 5.
The big toe is obviously Michael, and who cares about the other four? We'll let Tito and Marlon fight it out to see who gets stuck with the pinky toe.
If you think about it, though, it is the tiniest toe, the pinky toe that is the most valiant. It is the toe that has the most fun. It got to go "Wee, wee, wee, all the way home," while the others went to the market and had roast beef, or stayed home and had none.
The pinky toe is the last line of defense among the toes. The big toe takes the lead, but it is the pinky toe, sometimes just a little nubbin of flesh, bone and a sliver of nail, that brings up the rear. It has the other toes' backs, and it won't hesitate to take one for the team.
It was my pinky toe that threw itself in harm's way when my wayward foot stubbed a solid cherry wood dining room table leg. It was the pinky toe that took one for the team that day.
I took the errant step while racing from the living room into the kitchen to answer the phone. Ours was still tethered to the wall in those days. I hit the chair leg and heard "CRACK!"
My breaking toe sounded like a double to the gap.
I looked down to find the obedient four toes all in line with the big toe leading the way. My pinky toe faced crookedly in the opposite direction, fallen, mortally wounded, broken and turning purple fast.
I called the hospital and explained my dilemma. The ER nurse replied with a number "$375," and the magic words, "$500 deductible."
I was on my own.
"Be sure to bite down on a towel," she said as we hung up.
So I bit down on the towel and grabbed my wayward Piggy. And we went "Wee-wee-wee, all the way home."
To this day I can't pass a Rooms to Go without breaking out in a cold sweat.

I've got one or two plus a Century receiver sitting around somewhere.... guess I'll have to figure out what they're worth, probably not gonna get built since I've already got a really nice Imbel STG-58 in the safe.
I bought 3 Imbel kits from wolfsburgbob back in the day. I've already built 2 and have been hanging on to the 3rd until I decide what to do with it. I was on somebody's waiting list for a receiver (can't even remember who) but never heard from them.
I have three Rhodesian FAL kits I bought from FWRA on FAL Files just before he passed away a few years back.
Just have not got to building FALs yet.

Honest to God, I was just wondering last week what ever happened to WolfsburgBob??
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
He's somewhat active on the AK Files but rarely posts anywhere else that I visit.
He occasionally posts a few items for sale there, as well.
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
Geez, everybody here knows Bluejack has them all, he stores them in the FAL annex to his home.
Last FAL kits I bought were Imbels from Dan's ammo. IIRC, they were $150? Someday I will be able to afford the receivers to build them on, or get those two Century castings milled out and heat treated.......
Yup, $149. Those were the same ones that Bob was selling. Lot of finish wear, but excellent inside were it matters. As they said carried a lot, shot very little.

White: Nick Diaz turned down rematch with Carlos Condit for UFC 171
White said he offered Diaz (26-9 MMA, 7-6 UFC) a fight against Carlos Condit (29-7 MMA, 6-3 UFC) on Saturday night at UFC on FOX 9, but Diaz passed on it. White said the offer came in person with Diaz cageside for the fight card, which took place in Sacramento.
Diaz, though, will remain out of action by his own choosing. He told White he might return next spring, and that he would return for a title fight.
He doesnt want the fight, White said at the post-event news conference for UFC on FOX 9 at Sacramentos Sleep Train Arena. I thought he wanted the rematch (UFC ranked) No. 10 (Diaz) vs. No. 1 (contender Condit). But hes not interested. He said maybe hed be interested in coming back in May.
He said, Ill fight the winner of Hendricks and Lawler. I said, Youre ranked No. 10. It kind of doesnt work that way.
Instead, White told MMAjunkie hes faced with continuing the search for an appropriate opponent for Condit, who was slated to face Matt Brown on Saturdays show before Brown was sidelined with an injury earlier this week.
Ive got to go back to the drawing board, White said. Condit accepted the fight immediately, but I didnt get it done (with Diaz).Its not even about negotiating hes under contract, White said. Its do you want to fight, or not want to fight. Obviously the Diaz brothers are very unique individuals. You dont pressure a guy whos not interested in fighting. In this business, youve got to have the fire or you shouldnt do it.

Hi Chris
I am interested in finding out which sim only plan you have ? I am visiting the uk later in the year and need a similar plan
Many thanks
Boost Mobile rumored to offer pre-paid iPhone starting September
Boost Mobile has been rumored to start selling the iPhone as a pre-paid phone starting this September. This follows yesterday's news that Cricket Communications were rolling out pre-paid iPhones starting later this month.
Boost are rumored to be able to offer both the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S in early September; on its pre-paid tariffs. At the moment Boost's handset range is heavily dominated by Android devices so the addition of the iPhone would be a welcome change.
Boost is an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) that runs on Sprint's network so the iPhones will all be CDMA versions. Boost currently offers a popular $50 a Month Unlimited plan that includes unlimited talk, text and data. That cost can be reduced further if a customer has a good payment record.
This is a just a rumor for now but it is interesting to see more options for customers who are looking for an iPhone and do not wish to take out a long term contract.
It is common practice in Europe and is the way that I have chosen to go. I bought an unlocked iPhone 4S from Apple and I have a 30 day rolling SIM only plan. The plan gives me 2000 talk minutes, 5000 SMS messages and real unlimited data. The monthly cost is just £25.00 ($38).
Of course, September is getting quite close to the rumored launch date of the next generation iPhone 5. Apple has traditionally lowered the cost of older iPhones when newer ones come on the market. The iPhone 5 might carry a good-sized price-tag if bought off-contract and up-front, but the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 4 should be cheaper by then as well.
Whether or not Apple chooses to keep the 2009 iPhone 3GS on the market any longer, and at what price, is the question. While a very inexpensive way to get customers onto the iPhone platform and still one of the best selling smartphones in North America, it's also the last device on the market without a Retina display, FaceTime camera, and other current iPhone staples.

Boost Mobile rumored to offer pre-paid iPhone starting September
Hi Chris
It is with Three UK, this is the direct link to their SIM only plans:-
Interesting. Both my wife and son are on Boost. My son has the Galaxy Prevail and would never give up Android, but my wife just has the Samsung Seek (touchscreen slider feature phone). She takes her iPod Touch everywhere, so if this comes out to be true, I can see moving her up to the iPhone to simplify her life a little.
because tmobile will not pay the crazy fees that iphone demands when they can offer there network soon to be completely compatible with att frequencies and you just bring your own device to them. They have over 1 mil on there now that are just like that. Soon you wont even have to jail break it to do it either.
I wonder if the iPhone on Boost will help satisfy Sprint's purchase quota of iPhones from Apple, or whether it is a completely separate deal.
And if the iPhone is coming to Boost soon, will it also come to Virgin Mobile?
Yes virgin mobile will be getting iPhone 4 & 4s on June 29th , 2012 , also Cricket is getting iPhone 4 & 4s on June 22nd , 2012
