Christian Couple Sentenced to Death in Pakistan for Blasphemy
Following the sentencing of Pakistani Christian Sawan Masih, Pakistan has sentenced another two Christians to death for blasphemy. This time a Christian couple from the province of Punjab was sentenced to death after being accused of sending blasphemous text messages. The prosecution's case against the couple has been criticized by the defense, who claim the judge in the case gave into Islamic pressures. Please pray for this couple and all other Pakistani Christians who are forced to live under this black law.


The Choices for Syria’s Christians
ICC Note: The conflict in Syria has put the Christians in a dangerous position. They face the threat of either a brutal dictator or radical Sunni extremists who have committed horrible atrocities against not only Christians, but even Muslim groups that did not embrace their extremist ideology. The reality of these choices is what has led many to flee the country and for others to be left with no real good option to support.

Cantaloupe Juice Exhibits One Of The Most Effective Antioxidant Combinations To Protect Your Health
Cantaloupes are considered one of most nutritious fruits in the world. The secret to the cantaloupe’s antioxidant ability is its high vitamin C and beta-carotene content, inflicting a deadly one-two punch to cancer. Beta-carotene is a fat-soluble antioxidant, and vitamin C protects the water-soluble areas of the body. Together, both provide full protection from damaging oxygen free radicals to all parts of the body.

Food quality will suffer with rising carbon dioxide, field study shows
Climate change is hitting home -- in the pantry, this time. A field study of wheat demonstrates how the nutritional quality of food crops can be diminished when elevated levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide interfere with a plant's ability to process nitrate into proteins. "Several explanations for this decline have been put forward, but this is the first study to demonstrate that elevated carbon dioxide inhibits the conversion of nitrate into protein in a field-grown crop," the lead researcher said.

Key cells in touch sensation identified: Skin cells use new molecule to send touch information to the brain
Biologists have solved an age-old mystery of touch: how cells just beneath the skin surface enable us to feel fine details and textures. Touch is the last frontier of sensory neuroscience. The cells and molecules that initiate vision -- rod and cone cells and light-sensitive receptors -- have been known since the early 20th century, and the senses of smell, taste, and hearing are increasingly understood. But almost nothing is known about the cells and molecules responsible for initiating our sense of touch.

Blood test could detect solid cancers
A blood sample could one day be enough to diagnose many types of solid cancers, or to monitor the amount of cancer in a patient's body and responses to treatment. Now, researchers have devised a way to quickly bring the technique to the clinic. Their approach, which should be broadly applicable to many types of cancers, is highly sensitive and specific. With it they were able to accurately identify about 50 percent of people in the study with stage-1 lung cancer and all patients whose cancers were more advanced.
