The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod
Liberation from the economic repression of communism also meant the liberation of religion—especially of Christianity—for the people of the Czech Republic.
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod began its relationship with Lutherans in the Czech Republic in 1992, both with the Selesian Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession (SCAEV) and the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in the Czech Republic (ECAV CZ). In 1992, the LCMS awarded a grant to assist in the construction of a church hall in Komorni Lhotce to accommodate youth work and evangelism efforts. A year later, the LCMS started sending short-term mission teams to work with youth, do outreach and witness their faith in Jesus by building personal relationships. GEO (long-term) missionaries are also currently serving in the Czech Republic to support the ministry of Lutheran churches there by building relationships through teaching English classes and participating in various outreach ministries.
The LCMS also supports translations of Lutheran literature to supply the Silesian Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession (SCAEV) with materials for its theological education programs.
This church body has approximately 49,000 members, 20 congregations and 36 congregational extensions or preaching stations. Currently, the church is focused on extensive charitable and social rehabilitation work through the Silesian Diaconia for the elderly, abandoned and disabled.

The Bharbhunja are a Muslim community found in the states of Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh in India. In Uttar Pradesh, the community are also known as Bharbhunja Shaikh.[1][2]
|This section does not cite any sources. (February 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The two Bharbhunja groupings are, in fact, distinct, each with its own origin myth and traditions, and speaking their own language. What unites the two communities is their traditional occupation, which was grain parching. They get their name from the Sanskrit word bhrij, which means to fry. The Bharbhunja is Muslim, while Hindu grain parchers are known as Kandu.
In Gujarat[edit]
The word Bharbhunja is derived from the Gujarati words bhad which means an earthen oven, and bhunja which means to parch. Historically the Bharbhunja made a living by selling parched grain. The community originates from the Udaipur and Jodhpur regions of Rajasthan. They speak Gujarati, but most understand Hindi. The Bharbhunja are found mainly in the cities of Ahmadabad and Surat.[3]
The Bharbhunja consist of a number of clans, the main ones being the Behlim, Chauhan, Pawar, Bhati and Dhangar. All these clans are of equal status, and intermarry. They are a strictly endogamous community, and prefer marrying close kin.[4]
The traditional occupation of the Bharbhunja is the selling of fried and parched grains. Like other artisan groups, they have seen a decline in their traditional occupation, with many petty businessmen or wage labourers. Like other Gujarati Muslims groups, they have a caste association, the Jamat Gilkhan Afroz, which deals with issues of community welfare. The Bharbhunjas are Sunni Muslims, and have customs similar to other Gujarati Muslims communities.
In Uttar Pradesh[edit]
The Bharbhunja in Uttar Pradesh are traditionally grain parchers. They have a mixed origin, with some claiming to be of Shaikh origin, while other claiming Rajput origin. In fact, the community consists of forty clans, each of whom has its own origin myth. Often the divisions is merely territorial, such as the Hamirpuriya, originally from Hamirpur, the Jaunpuriya, originally those from Jaunpur. Each subdivision in referred to as a biradari. They are found mainly in the districts of Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar, Meerut, Aligarh, Ghaziabad, Bijnor, Moradabad and Badaun. The Bharbhunja speak both Urdu and Khari boli. A second cluster of Bharbhunjas are found in the districts of Barabanki and Bahraich, who speak the Awadhi dialect.[5]
The Bharbhunja are still involved with grain parching, although many are now petty businessmen. They are strictly endogamous, and marriages tend to occur within the biradari. They live in multi caste and multi religious settlements, but occupy their own distinct quarters. Each settlement has a caste council, known as a panchayat, which acts as an instrument of social control. It deals with intra community disputes, as well as punishing those who breach communal norms. Although they live in close proximity to other Muslim groups, such as the Shaikh, Kabaria, Ansari, Muslim Dhobi and Qassab in Awadh, and the Muslim Teli, Muslim Banjara, Baghban and Rohilla in Rohilkhand, there is very little interaction, and virtually no intermarriage. The community are Sunni Muslims, and have customs similar to other Uttar Pradesh Muslims.[6]

[OFF THE POST] Rene Simoes, coach of Brazilian second division club Portuguesa, handed in his resignation after officials of the club came into the locker room with guns on their belts and threatened the players after a loss.
The officials, accompained by bodyguards, berated the players after losing, 2-1, to Vila Nova and jeopardizing the
club's promotion chances.
"They were four armed men and one appeared to be the boss," said Simoes, who is famous for coaching Jamaica at the 1998 World Cup.
The leader of the gang
was identified as Antonio Jose Vaz Pinto, a member of the club's executive council.
A statement on the club's official Web site read: "Catching everyone by surprise... Mr Antonio Jose
Vaz Pinto insulted the players and technical staff, showing a complete lack of control."

A good review as always Cliff. I was wondering if you had any plans to review the Samsung WB500 in the next couple of months? I ask as I'm currently set to buy the Cannon Powershot SX110 for my honeymoon around the Med but the Samsung may be a contender if it gets a 'recommended' from you.
OOPS, you've missed out the 2nd most important thing after Picture Quality... two pictures of the user interface. A good optical performance can be rendered useless by features that are buried deep or are not available in 2 seconds when the photo opp occurs. For example, I trust Canon lens quality totally and love their adjustable screen but the interface is terrible, it's impossible to read and hopelessly complex.
Aside from that omission TR remains the very best review site on the planet.

Key Highlights
The mobile phone market consists of all cell phones used for mobile telephony. The market is split into two segments: feature phones and smartphones. Smartphones are defined as advanced cell phones that serve as computing devices in addition to being mobile handsets and that run on an advanced mobile operating system. Key examples of smartphones include the Apple iPhone range (which run on the iOS operating system), Samsung Galaxy S6 (which runs on the Android operating system) and Blackberry and Windows Phone handsets. Feature phones are defined as cell phones that are not considered to be smartphones. Feature phones may still offer some features that smartphones do, such as the ability to browse the Internet, listen to music or take pictures, but have significantly less computational power than smartphones. Key examples of feature phones include the Nokia 105 and the LG Cosmos 3. The market does not include other types of handset, such as cordless phones in which a short-range radio link is used to communicate between the handset and a fixed-line base station, or those used for specialized applications such as two-way radio, etc. Market volumes for a given year are defined as the number of shipments to end-users, including both new uptake and renewal purchases and market values have been calculated using average selling prices before the impact of carrier subsidies. The units in the report represent number of phones delivered to users each year, not the total number of phones in existence. All currency conversions are carried out at constant average annual 2015 exchange rates.
The French mobile phones market had total revenues of $6.4bn in 2015, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% between 2011 and 2015.
Market consumption volume increased with a CAGR of 2.9% between 2011-2015, to reach a total of 22.8 million units in 2015.
The performance of the market is forecast to decelerate over the next five years, with only very weak growth forecast.

We are considering pulling our son out of his private school (long story) and home school for the next few years. He is a kid who thrives when he has regular routines and knows what to expect each day. I have some cousins who attended the Calvert school in Baltimore and they rave about the school. The also have a home school program:
Does anyone have experience with it and/or currently using it? Would love any and all feedback. thanks!
Pardon me while I
I do not have any personal experience (yet) with using it myself.
It is a popular program with people who have just begun homeschooling and want the security of knowing what to do each day and having all the materials put together for them. Many people use it their first year. It is fairly expensive. After the first year, a lot of people decide they have enough of an idea of what they want to pull materials together themselves, from less expensive sources. Some continue with it because they like not having to do any of their own research and planning. I have read posts saying that it is somewhat dry and boring; and I have also read posts saying that the parent loves that all the bases are covered and they can just do the work each day and not worry.
DH and I have agreed that we want to get more structured as time goes on, and eventually use a full correspondence program for high school. So far, for K, 1 and 2, I have been pulling materials together myself and following a very loose weekly schedule. At some point in the future - probably the upper elementary or middle school years - I will switch DS1 to Calvert, eventually with the advisory service so he can get some practice before getting into a correspondence HS program.
and 3 , in our happy secular
We bought Calvert material used for Kindergarten this year. It is great if you want the type of material that is all laid out for you, basically telling you exactly what to say to your child. I found that the material was all on the easy side for my son. We decided to use it anyway along with a lot of reading aloud books from the library. But I am for sure looking for something different for next year. At this point we are hardly using the materials.
i've only used calvert preschool not the higher grades but i wont be buying them.
- great for states with strict HS laws
- all in one unless you want to change something
- the 'extras' as in not the books but all the little educational stuff that comes in the box is really great. we are still using some of those materials.
- costs $$$$$ - although not a problem if your state has HS funding
- very scripted - it tells you what to say to your child and how to present things. - you can ignore it of course but i found it a little annoying
- there were several 'group games' which with only the 1 kid (at the time) i didn't have a group
- the materials were easy really easy for my ds OR way too hard
Ak Hippie mama Yamia DSD '03 DS '07 DS2 '09 & DS3 '12
I tried Calvert with my older son (3rd grade materials) for a few months this school year as a first-time delving into packaged curriculum for us; it was free with enrollment in a local online school.
My opinions --
Pros: The daily lesson plans are SUPER great if you're at all disorganized or unsure of how best to get all the subjects tackled on a regular basis. There's a list at the top of which books are to be used that day and which pages, and there's actual verbage you can use when presenting the materials. There's an online "Checkpoints" thing the kids can do each day where there are 3-4 multiple choice questions on each subject which sort of skim the surface of the info they learned that day -- not a thorough review, just a quickie thing, but if you want to keep track of what lessons you've completed it is good for that as well as when you log in and do a checkpoint, the system counts your student as "attending" that day if that is something you're interested in or required to track. There are some fun online Math games connected with many of the lessons, and the online spelling program is also fun (which you can do in addition to or instead of the book/paper version).
Cons: Social Studies text (3rd grade) is ULTRA boring. IMHO it is a "weird" subject anyway - I think pure History is more interesting myself, and so do my kids. Read the book, look at a few pictures, write down new vocabulary words. The Science text tries hard with a lot of nice photographs and there are occasional online links for more exploration, but in general I thought the book was pretty lame. The hands-on stuff is pretty much non-existent, and it made my thrilled-about-science kid say he "hates Science" after doing a few months of "Science" using the textbook. The Composition work was quite challenging for my reluctant/inexperienced writer -- they do start very simple with having the parent write out sentence phrases for them to copy into their compositions, but it seemed quick to me that they jump to having the kids write 3-4 paragraphs all on their own. I'm sure a kid who enjoys the act of writing would be just fine; my guy *loathes* it (he's happy to narrate things and comes up with stories on his own, but the physical act of writing really blocks his creativity).
Good luck with your decision!
One more thing with Calvert's math -- their approach is where they'll briefly visit a topic, hop to something else, and a week or two later come back to the first thing; some people prefer math programs that present one thing at a time and allow for "mastery" of it before moving on to the next thing.
We got started on Calvert from the beginning when my kids were enrolled in an online charter school. We got the whole curriculum for K, 1 & 2 but we are more unstructured so we didn't use most of it. Ultimately, we didn't stick with the charter, but I did stay with Calvert - math only though. I like their math program; the concepts are well-explained, and now that dd can read well she practically teaches herself the concepts. The skipping-around-pattern a previous poster mentioned does seem a little bizarre at first, but it works well for my kids.

Puppy Tales -- Haunted House
As most of my readers probably know, my law office is in my home.
Until recently, our security system consisted of two basic components.
First is a very lovable Labrador retriever who barks very loudly at strangers. Second are my frequent discussions with clients about my favorite hobby, target shooting, allowing an occasional glimpse at the .45 I keep in my desk drawer.
Maggy, my 5-year-old Beagle is a fairly timid creature. The epitome of sooner hounds, she would rather snuggle in a heap of blankets and pillows on our bed than do almost any other thing.
Recently, we had a security system installed. Even when deactivated, it will beep and a British voice will announce every time a door or window is opened.
To Maggy's utter dismay, our home has suddenly become haunted. All of a sudden, throughout the day, there are now strange noises and disembodied voices.
Maggy doesn't know what to do. She hides between my feet, under my desk and asks me with her eyes if everything is OK.
Apparently, in her eyes, I am all-powerful. She does the same thing when a thunderstorm approaches. On those occasions, I try to explain to her that she is safe, that Zeus, the thunder god, has bigger things on his mind than a good little Beagle girl. She must have a guilty conscience as she typically continues to shiver and worry despite my assurances.
When it is time for everyone to "go outside," she would previously allow the rambunctious boys go out the door first. Now, with the beep and voice moments after the door opens, she is first out. Sometimes, this also translates into being reluctant to come back inside.
With any luck, Maggy will make peace with the specter that has taken residence in her home and things will go back to normal. In any case, it looks like this Halloween; Maggy will be having a haunted house.

This gun is a clone of the CZ-75. The best thing to do is take it to a local gun shop and ask them if they have magazines for it. They may have to order them, but that is a good start.
Hey everyone, first post and pretty new to the handgun world . I've shot multiple times with my dad (20 year military vet) but I don't really have any actual knowledge on handguns. I was recently given one that belonged to my uncle who passed away and I'd love any helpful tips and suggestions.
Armi Fratelli Tanfoglio SPA TZ 75 (9mm Parabellum)
It has the standard wood panels and no magazine or rounds. I picked up a set of Hogue rubber grips but that's literally all I've done with it. Any suggestions on what the best type of magazine would be and where to purchase? Any additional info would be really appreciated. Thanks guys!
This gun is a clone of the CZ-75. The best thing to do is take it to a local gun shop and ask them if they have magazines for it. They may have to order them, but that is a good start.
Okay, thanks, I'll make that my first resource. This may be a really stupid question...but is it fine to just walk into a gun shop and buy/attempt to buy parts without me having a permit or any type of papers to own it?
Yeah, you only need a permit to carry concealed with a loaded weapon. Of course these laws depend on your state/local laws, but if you just carry the gun empty it's no big deal. If you have a box, carry it in that. If not, then lock the slide back and carry it that way. It may be a good idea to go in, tell them why your there and ask if you can go get the gun. That way they aren't alarmed when you walk in.
Awesome, thanks again for the quick replies. I don't have a box so I'll go the route of locking the slide back and leaving it in the truck before going in.
Another newb question: obviously there's no magazine, as I mentioned, but should I still be able to cock and pull the trigger when the safety is ON? Previous guns I've shot would lock or resist the trigger pull whereas this one doesn't seem to act any different whether the safety is on or not. Again, sorry for the probably really obvious question, since it may lock once it's loaded. I'd just rather ask than pretend like I know what I'm doing with this one!
I don't think so, but that is a question I would pose to the gun shop personnel.
Will do, thanks!
I don't know which state you live in. Check with your home state's laws before you decide to take that handgun anywhere. It may be illegal to carry or possess it without a permit regardless if it's empty, or in a locked box. It may even be illegal to possess it period, even in your own home. To answer your other question. No, it is not illegal to purchase firearms parts as long as it is not the receiver (the part that has the serial number) which is considered by law as the firearm. Nor is any permit required to purchase or possess those parts. However, it my also be illegal in your home state to possess what your state considers a high capacity magazine. In which case the vendor would not even ship one to you which would also be illegal. If your home state has no magazine restrictions you could just order them from Tanfoglio which would ensure you get the right magazines. If your home state has such restrictions you may only purchase magazines that are legal in your home state. Even though the gun is a CZ clone, CZ magazines may not work. Many of the parts for Tanfoglio pistols are not interchangeable with CZ handguns. You may want to check with "CZ Custom" here in Arizona to find out whether the CZ magazines will work with that pistol along with any other parts. Some pistols such as the S&W 469, 669 and 3913 have a magazine disconnect in which case the pistol can not be fired when the magazine is removed. CZ's and I believe their clones do not have this feature. If the firearm has a slide mounted or frame mounted safety in most cases you should not be able to cock the hammer and pull the trigger with the safety on. This would defeat the purpose of the safety in the first place. Obviously I can't cover every type of handgun and their individual safety features. You'd be better served getting an owners manual from the manufacturer and familiarize yourself with that particular handgun before you even attempt to use it either empty or loaded.
Awesome, I'm actually here in Arizona too so CZ Custom might be my best bet all together.
Thank God we both live in Arizona! You will have no problems regarding the possession of that handgun or have any magazine capacity issues unless you are a prohibited possessor. CZ Customs are located at 1008 South Center St Mesa, Arizona. 85210 if you are in that area you can probably bring it over to them. Angus Hobdell is an expert on CZ Handguns, if he or the staff don't have the answers I guess nobody will. Another place you might want to try is Cajun Gun Works at 214 Chimney Hill Road, West Monroe LA 71291. I've bought parts from both of them and have been very satisfied with their service. Great people to do business with! Keep in mind that they primarily work on CZ's, but I'm sure they will send you in the right direction regarding CZ clones including the Tanfoglio line of pistols.
Google "Tanfoglio magazines."
The list of sources is long.
There's even a site where CZ-75-style magazine compatibility is discussed.
You can also Google "SPA TZ 75 Tanfoglio magazines." Other people seem to be looking for them too.
There's Brownells, of course, and Gun Parts Corp., and an aftermarket magazine maker, Triple K.
Mec-Gar has a CZ-75 magazine that will fit and function in the TZ-75. These are available in 15, 17 and 19 round configurations in cal. 9x19.
If you don't have any kind of a case, get a bag before you take the gun out of your house.
I love these MidwayUSA Tactical Pistol Case I have 5.
This forum is a great source of general information and some specifics on common brands. If you want more on Tanfo's, you can find lots of info here: The Original CZ Forum - Index Post in the clone section. I've seen lots of knowledgeable people post good stuff about older Tanfo's. There may be a good Tanfo forum. I'm sure their is. Since I am interested in them, but don't have one, I haven't gone looking.
Once you've identified the right mags to buy, if you can get them at gregcotellc (Greg Cote, LLC) he usually has the best prices, particularly on Mec-Gar mags. Mec-Gar makes most of the CZ and CZ clone mags. They also sell mags on their own label. The Mec-Gar mags are what I use to shoot my CZ's in speed shooting events.

I've been watching the ads for the local retailers. I've made up my mind on a rifle that Dicks has on sale. They open up at midnight (in Arizona). Is there specific hour that NICS checks can be completed, or will I be able to go purchase it in the middle of the night and hopefully bypass all the black friday madness

Not sure how late they go last Night I picked up a weapon at a FFL that was shipped in he ran it a 2000 no problem
I've bought weapons as late as 2100, but here I'm talking specifically about 0000 or 0100

The answer is no. It's an online setup now that literally takes longer to enter your information than it does to approve/disapprove the check.
Why Waltz when you can Rock-N-Roll
I got my rifle...well, I'll have it after 5am.
I filled out the NICS paperwork and photocopied my ID. They put the gun on hold and will call in the check at 5am, then call me when I can come pick it up.
There were only 3 of them in the store. I was #3 in line, but the two ahead of me bought ARs....so I got the first of 3 700s. The next two people behind me got the other two.
Oh yeah, Dicks has all their ammo at buy one get one half of (limit 6 boxes)

Having worked retail in the past, I refuse to leave the house before noon today. The only thing good about working retail on black Friday, was our boss let us purchase items before the store opened, so we got the sales, and employee discount.

Black Friday looks like it set records across the country for gun sales.
I wrote this little treatise...
âBlack Fridayâ looked pretty green for gun sales - Seattle gun rights | Examiner.com
I started getting e-mails from colleagues this afternoon that the NICS system was backed up and I checked with some WA gun dealers who confirmed it. What a day!
Like archer, I won't hit Black Friday sales unless wife asks me, after I worked retail.

Here, in South Carolina, if you have your Concealed Weapons permit, the call is not necessary. You just give them your CWP and they make a copy and put it with the 4473 and your out the door.
Every purchase I have made in the last year has been by phone. I ask today and was told 2000 here was as late as it goes.
It was down again today for a couple hours.

Is It Evolution Yet? A Critique of Evolutionary Archaeology
James, Boone, L.
Smith, Eric Alden
The application of Darwinian evolutionary theory to archaeology has taken two divergent and rather distinct paths over the past two decades. According to one program, often referred to as evolutionary archaeology, cultural change as seen in the archaeological record can best be explained in terms of the direct action of natural selection and other Darwinian processes on heritable variation in artifacts and behavior. The other approach, referred to as evolutionary or behavioral ecology, explains cultural and behavioral change as forms of phenotypic adaptation to varying social and ecological conditions, using the assumption that natural selection has designed organisms to respond to local conditions in; fitness-enhancing ways. We argue that the primary conflict between the two approaches centers on fundamental differences in the way they view the explanatory role of phenotypic variation and more specifically a disagreement over whether behavioral innovation is random with respect to adaptive value (including related issues of current versus future selective advantage and the- explanatory role of intentions). These differences lead to contrasts in explanatory scope, empirical application, and theoretical conclusions, which in turn provide the basis for our evaluation of the relative utility of each approach for explaining archaeological phenomena.

Do clients with acquired brain injury use the splints prescribed by occupational therapists? A descriptive study
Kuipers, K., Rassafiani, M., Ashburner, J., Griffin, J. , Worley, L. , Moes, L. , Fleming, J., & Copley, J. (2009) Do clients with acquired brain injury use the splints prescribed by occupational therapists? A descriptive study. NeuroRehabilitation, 24(4), pp. 365-375.
Clients with acquired brain injury often demonstrate hypertonicity and decreased function in their upper limbs, requiring appropriate intervention. Splinting is one of the intervention methods that is widely used to address these issues. Literature shows that some clients are not using splints following fabrication. However, there is a paucity of research about the factors that influence clients to use or not use splints. This study aims to investigate these influential factors for clients with upper limb hypertonicity. Two survey tools including therapist and client questionnaires were developed and completed by both therapists and clients. Six therapists and 14 clients participated in this study and completed the relevant questionnaires. The results illustrate that most clients (13 out of 14) were continuing to use their splints four weeks following discharge from hospital. The main goals of choosing splints for both therapists and clients were prevention of contracture and deformity. The most indicated client reasons for adhering to the splint wearing program were therapist-related factors including clients' trust and reliance on their therapists. Further reasons for clients implementing the recommended splint-wearing program and clinical implications are discussed.

Just over 2 years ago, I created a new blog, The PowerShell Scripts blog over at http://pshscripts.blogspot.com. The idea was simple – a blog with single function PowerShell scripts. Scripts that demonstrated one (or at least a very small number) of things to do with PowerShell. I had in mind that since the blog was hosted by Google, they'd do a good job of indexing it, and providing links to it. Which is exactly what happened.
In the two years, I've had over 65,000 visitors to the blog. At present, I'm getting around 170 hits per day and just under 300 page hits per day on average over a week. However, this is very much a week day blog with Monday-Friday tending to be closer to 200+ hits/day during the week.
But the interesting, and gratifying, thing is the percentage of hits coming from the key search engines (Google and more recently Bing) and the search terms they are using. I've used a free traffic counter from sitemeter to measure the traffic, but I only see the last 1000 visitors and had not added a more permanent tracking system – but I've recently added Google Analytics the site. So far, the results from both sites show the same tends.
Looking at the Analytic's output for the past month. around 70% of all the traffic to the blog comes from Google and Bing with a bit more from PowerShell.com, TechNet and this blog. There are a few other search engines that send traffic, but Google and Bing are dominant. Also, around 13% of the traffic comes from direct hits on http://pshscripts.blogspot.com.
Looking at the search terms used is also interesting. PowerShell Scripts (and PowerShell script) make up 18% or all hits. Below those two, there's a very long tail of relatively low numbers of hits over the past month. There were just around 1000 separate search terms used – and all but a handful more than once or twice. That shows that the narrow focus of each post has proven useful – you can search with a fairly narrow term, such as "PowerShell ipaddress wmi" or "powershell send udp" and see the blog at the top or near the top of the 1st page.
There were two discoveries that were curious. First, looking at the referring sites, I noticed one site had a relatively high number of pages per visit and a long time too on average time on site. The bounce rate for this traffic was also very very low. It turns out that an IT professor in Viet Nam has put a link to my blog and all the slides from the upcoming PowerShell V2 class. Not sure about the legality of putting the slides up – but see for yourself at http://hoanguyen40.ecoles.officelive.com/OSScripting.aspx.
The other amusing thing I found is that, when looking at the networks that send you traffic (think ISP). The top network listed was Microsoft!
All in all, a good first two years for this blog – getting several hundred hits a day is more than I expected.

Do I wish that KSL-Ch. 5 had not yanked "Hannibal" from its TV schedule? Yes. I'm not offended by violence or sex; in fact, I enjoy watching it. But I don't get the outrage about censorship by "religious fanatics" at the station, which is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("LDS and 'Hannibal,'" Forum, May 1).
I see the station as making informed choices based on its values, which differ a little from mine. It's no different than our local NPR and PBS and radio and TV stations choosing which programs to air, from among the many public programs available.
With cable, Netflix and streaming TV, it's not like there are too few choices. There is much more quality than I have time to watch.
I suspect that many now criticizing KSL for dumping the violent "Hannibal" praised KSL radio when it dumped the obnoxious Rush Limbaugh. You can't have it both ways. You can't expect others to exactly mirror your choices.
KSL is exercising judgment, according to its stated values. In this world of abundant media choices, let a thousand flowers bloom.

Fresenius TOPs classes offer home options
Hi y'all,
Just picked this Kidney Month story up off the businesswire. :-)
Dialysis is Changing: New Treatment Options Offer Patients Greater Flexibility and Control over Lifestyle
Fresenius Medical Care's TOPs Sessions Provide Information to People Facing Dialysis
WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--People who need dialysis have more options for treatment, including home and nocturnal programs that may allow for more flexible lifestyles.
During National Kidney Month in March, Fresenius Medical Care North America, operator of the nations leading network of dialysis clinics, encourages individuals with kidney disease who are facing dialysis to learn more about options for treatment by attending a free, educational Treatment Options Program (TOPs) session.
When people understand all the different ways they can receive therapy, the choice usually becomes a function of their lifestyle, said Joseph Pulliam, M.D., vice president, Medical Affairs for Home Therapies at Fresenius Medical Care. We've seen that patients who are educated and informed before they select a treatment option are much more likely to choose home therapies.
In fact, people who attended TOPs sessions are five times more likely to choose home dialysis treatments, according to patient data collected by Fresenius Medical Care. Since Fresenius Medical Care launched the TOPs sessions in 2007, more than 20,000 people have attended.
TOPs sessions are hosted at least once a month by Fresenius Medical Care within every area of the companys nationwide clinical network, and provide valuable information to patients who need dialysis, as well as people in at-risk groups for chronic kidney disease. This includes people with diabetes or high blood pressure, senior citizens and certain ethnic minorities, including African Americans, Asians, Hispanics and Native Americans.
To find an upcoming TOPs session near you, call toll-free at 1-866-4-DIALYSIS (1-866-434-2597), or visit the company's website at www.ultracare-dialysis.com (in English and Spanish).
During TOPs sessions, people facing dialysis can learn about the benefits and limitations of the available options for dialysis, and find one that best suits their health and lifestyle needs. TOPs session attendees will also learn from healthcare professionals about kidney health and treatment recommendations for all stages of chronic kidney disease, and they can find other resources, information, and support that are available.
Fresenius Medical Care offers four different types of treatments: in-center hemodialysis, in-center nocturnal hemodialysis, home hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis at home. Fresenius latest innovation, the Liberty Cycler, is the latest in home dialysis technology for automated peritoneal dialysis (APD), and was designed to allow patients to administer their own treatments while they sleep.
Dialysis is a life-sustaining process that cleans waste products from the blood, removes extra fluids, and controls the bodys chemistry when a persons kidneys fail. Dialysis patients typically require treatment on an ongoing basis unless they receive a kidney transplant.
About Fresenius Medical Care North America
Fresenius Medical Care North America is a subsidiary of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA, the world's largest integrated provider of products and services for individuals undergoing dialysis because of chronic kidney failure, a condition that affects more than 1,600,000 individuals worldwide. Through its network of 2,388 dialysis clinics in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and Africa, Fresenius Medical Care provides dialysis treatment to approximately 184,080 patients around the globe. Fresenius Medical Care is also the world's leading provider of dialysis products such as hemodialysis machines, dialyzers and related disposable products. Fresenius Medical Care is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FME, FME3) and the New York Stock Exchange (FMS, FMS-p).
For more information about Fresenius Medical Care's U.S. network of more than 1,700 dialysis facilities, visit the Company's website at www.ultracare-dialysis.com (in English and Spanish).

Cordova's daughter in a coma
Sometimes it is important to remember that baseball is just a game...
It was released last night that Cordova is going through a very personal matter. His 15-year-old daughter, Ashley McAdam, was in a tragic car accident that has left her in a coma. The car accident happened 12 days ago (December 16) in her high school parking lot in Salt Lake City, Utah.
All of the members in McAdam's car were injured and have had to undergo surgery. Ashley took the brunt of the force and had the most injury because of it. She has been unresponsive since the accident.
Cordova and the mother of Ashley, Tamara McAdam-Burleigh, have set up a Facebook page to support their daughter. There are tons of messages from friends, family, and friends to support Marty and his family during this trying time. Marty and Tamara have promised to update Ashley's status everyday to followers of the group.
The Facebook group seems to be growing significantly since the national publication of the story. The family is also asking for donations to help with the medical bills that have begun to pile up. People can make a donation by following this link.
There was a quote from Cordova that seemed to summarize the feelings of many parents that have had children involved in an accident such as this. "What I want is for people to see that this can happen to your own kids. Hug your kids, spend time with them."
In an incident like this it is important to remember that life can be bigger than baseball.
Please leave a message on the "Supporting Ashley McAdam" page on Facebook. It will be great to see all of the support left to Marty and Tamara in their time of need.
