association with the college, hav-ing
graduated from the college
and seminary both, in the 1940's.
Since that time, he has appeared
frequently at the chapel and
convocation podium, having spok-en
most recently at the funeral
of the late Dr. Anton Pearson.
His administrative credentials
include the post of dean at the
now defunct Northwestern College,
as well as its acting president.
Since that time he has served as
associate dean at Bemidji State
College. Currently he is holding a
post as chairman of the philosophy
department at Augsburg College.
In addition, he has completed a
book explaining his philosophy of
education for the Christian liberal
arts school.
The Board of Education was de-liberating
in Chicago during the
last few days of November and
announced its decision early in
Commenting on this decision,
President Lundquist stated that
the Board of Education shared
the respect and high esteem in
which Dr. Sandin is held by our
faculty but felt that his evangeli-cal
commitment did not come
through clearly enough to many
of our people to turn to him at
this juncture in Bethel's history.
Certain misgivings also arose in
the area of philosophy of Chris-tian
education. The members of

Dean will reflect clearly Bethel's
quest for academic excellence
within its traditional framework
of historic orthodoxy.

Prompted by a question con-cerning
the future possibilities

it would be premature to de-vulge

CHOICE 68 is being run by a
Board of Directors composed of
eleven student leaders, each from
a different region of the country.
The Board is establishing guide-lines
for the Primary, designing
the ballot and providing overall
direction and leadership.
Schools represented by the
Board are the University of Cali-fornia

Dr. Chan's usual program in-eludes
a public lecture on "Domi-nant

and a convocation address on
"Forces at Work in Asia."
In informal or class meetings, he
discusses "Confucianism in Main-land

these issues will also be made by
the Board of Directors.

were part of the Bethel scene even
before the challenging cry of "stu-dent
power" ("student responsigili-ty").
The diamond ring salesman
and the cookware displayer both
were individuals who recognized
the needs of other Bethel students
and capitalized for their own profit
on these needs.
Until only recently in Bethel's
history, there has seemed to be
little justification for the admis-sion
of business tactics into the
scholarly liberal arts arena. Now,
however, Bethel offers an econo-mics
major in its curriculum and
has supplemented this with sev-eral
business courses.
Furthermore, with the inaugura-tion
of the Business and Economics
Club on the Bethel campus with
its objectives of promoting busi-ness-
type activities for the devel-opment
of its business students
and of acquainting students with
the opportunities for a liberal arts
degree in the business world,
entrepreneurial activity has a legi-timate
One specific program of the
Business and Economics Club is
to be held Monday evening Jan-uary
8, in the college auditorium.
On this date, the club is sponsor-ing
a speaker in investment brok-erage
to address all interested
Bethel students about the possi-bilities
of the stock market and
job opportunities in the present
economy, with an open session for
questions concerning financial is-sues,
whether personal or academ-ic.

(ACP) — The hippie movement
may be merely history repeating
itself, a University of Minnesota
history professor says.
Prof. David Noble, in an inter-view
in the Minnesota Daily, said
that attempting to live by perfect
love and to attain salvation on
earth, rejecting the "establish-ment,
and revolting within the
middle class are all manifesta-tions
of the philosophy of puritan-ism."
Noble, who teaches intellectual
history, said purification move-ments
have always been separated
from society in an effort "to divide
the saints from the sinners."
Some 400 years ago, he said, man
tried to reject man-made medieval
society and restore a God-given
way of life.
Today, hippies are rejecting the
artificial tradition of the middle
class and the hypocrisy of their
parents—as all generations do, No-ble

"Insurance is a financial as-set,

Both Runbeck and Porter feel
that insurance is important but
that students should be knowledg-able

took hold of each match.
Curt Dokken, a freshman from

considered to be the strongest

pinned his opponent midway
through the second period. Greg
Ekbom then walked onto the mat
use of LSD, marijuana, and other
drugs, for two reasons. One is that
such use is in opposition to the
mores of the middle class estab-lishments.
Another reason for transcen,
dente through drugs, Noble said,
is that there is no longer a geo-graphical
frontier. Puritanism sym-bolically
moves from east to west,
but for the hippies the frontier is
gone, Noble said, adding this could
explain why there are so many
hippies in California.
"People regard the hippie as a
member of the extreme fringe,"
but the movement could be an in-dex
of a more fundamental shift
within society, he said.
Any fringe group is bound to
fail, because transcendental philo ,
sophies cannot be expressed in par-ticular,
identifiable forms.
Such purification movements try
to create a timeless product, but
since there is only a "profane sit-uation'
and no "ultimate condi-tion,"
he said, purification is philo-sophically
and logically impossible.
John Bergeson, a former Bethel
student, and myself were aware
o f the rumors circulating about
Father Groppi when we decided
to visit Milwaukee to join the Com-mandoes,
the NAACP youth coun-cil
"special forces" in their dem-onstration
for open housing. Al-though
we realized that most of
the rumors were untrue, the actual
truth was an "unknown".
We were both very aware of
one thing—we were Christians and
as Christians we were concerned
that an injustice, in fact a crime,
was being committed against twen-ty-
two million human beings. We
could not reconcile our conscience
and inaction and thus only one

to draw Bethel within two points.
Co-captain Barry Anderson met
a tough foe as he took a decision
but could not administer the pin.
However, the next three Bethel
grapplers pinned their men to put
the Royals out of reach. Doug War-ring,

high school conference as Dok-ken,
looked very good as he put
his man's shoulders on the mat at

might lose a match by a decision,

By this time the roar of the
crowd was deafening, and as Bob
Olsen stepped onto the mat, the
roof almost left. Bob apparently
didn't feel like wrestling too much
so he quickly put his foe away in
28 seconds.
The Redmen would have liked
to salvage the heavyweight class,
but Dave "Brutus" Anderson said
no as he quickly racked up an
appreciable point total. He ran out
of gas in the last period but had
enough going for him to pull out
the victory.

could not help but be impressed
by this group of people that spent
three or more hours every day

What is the actual structure and
"modus operandi" of the Comman-does?
First, the marches are plan-ned,
led, and under the command
of a group of young men in their
twenties called the Commandoes.
Father Groppi does not function
in any official capacity except as
spiritual counselor and charismatic
"patron saint". (The day we were
in the city we only saw him for
a few minutes while he gave a
pep talk and answered some ques-tions.)
Besides planning the demonstra-tions,
the Commandoes serve as
protectors of the column against
white racist opponents. An incident
occurred about a week before we
got there where the Commandoes
To the editor:
This is a letter of what I hope
to be constructive protest. It has
been my observation that most stu-dents
and faculty do very little if
anything—constructive or destruc,.
tive. My particular complaint is
that no one takes any interest in
the cultural activities on campus.
Of course, this is not the only
area of apathy. Eight out of fifty
of Bethel's faculty and one thou,
sand plus students bothered to at-tend
a meeting for the Thanksgiv-ing
Freedom Fast.
I can proudly claim that there
has been more interest in cultural
activities — there has been an av-erage
attendance of forty at the
last three concerts held. I do not
believe there has been a great
lack of publicity for these concerts.
There have been posters, P. O.
boxes were stuffed for one concert,
and the last concert was announced
on the radio station. The CLARION
usually prints articles written for
publication (the last concert arti-cle
being the exception).

Fine Arts has been a
wasted course. Bethel seems to be
a herd of culturally illiterate sheep,

most worthwhile events to attend.

(Surah Ibrahim, 14:48) Just as Allah relieves us of our sufferings and gives relief to our hearts, He has the power to punish us. The Qur'an gives examples of nations that He caused to perish at a time when they did not expect it—in the early morning—for they turned away from the just religion and rebelled against Allah. He sent them hurricanes that destroyed their houses and rained stones of hard baked clay upon them. To those whom He warned, He sent thunderstorms to raze their cities and sent earthquakes to turn the land upside down. Allah ruined them by sending a great blast. Allah's punishment is incomparable to any other punishment. These are some of the punishment that Allah makes people taste in this world. But Hell's unprecedented torments deserve more consideration. Those who fail to appreciate Allah's power and who remain ungrateful, despite His infinite mercy, will be punished in the Hereafter. When Allah casts the unbelievers into the midst of the Blazing Fire, they will encounter a form of misery previously unknown: Every time their skins are burned off, Allah will replace them and build walls of fire above them. The pain experienced in this world is utterly insignificant compared to the one in Hell. Indeed, the Qur'an informs us that the people of Hell will plead to Allah to kill them so that their pain will end. In Hell, Allah will punish unbelievers with His infinite power. This promise, which is certain to happen, is related in the following verses: He is the Absolute Master over His servants. He is the All-Wise, the All-Aware. (Surat al-An'am, 6:18) Say: "Who is the Lord of the heavens and Earth?" Say: "Allah." Say: "So why have you taken protectors apart from Him who possess no power to help or harm themselves?" Say: "Are the blind and seeing equal? Or are darkness and light the same? Or have they assigned partners to Allah who create as He creates, so that all creating seems the same to them?" Say: "Allah is the Creator of everything. He is the One, the All-Conquering." (Surat ar-Ra'd, 13:16) The Day when they will issue forth and when not one thing about them will be hidden from Allah. "To whom does the kingdom belong today? To Allah, the One, the Conqueror!" (Surah Ghafir, 40:16) Allah manifests His attribute of al-Qahhar upon those people who deny and refuse to believe in the Hereafter. However, Allah is infinitely compassionate and merciful toward His servants. After His servants' sincere repentance, Allah forgives their sins. He helps His sincere servants in both worlds and supports them with feelings of mercy, peace, and trust. In the Qur'an, Allah reveals His blessings upon believers and informs us that He does not punish His sincere servants, as follows: Why should Allah punish you if you are thankful and believe? Allah is always responsive to gratitude, All-Knowing. (Surat an-Nisa', 4:147) Mon 14 Feb 201118232 تعليقات (0)أضف تعليقك تعليقات

In addition, our heads of department have been recommended in the Legal 500 directory and are accredited by the Law Society as trusted specialists in immigration law. Our team: We invest heavily in attracting the sharpest minds to work for our firm. Former immigration judge, Paul Gulbenkian is one of the country's foremost figures in immigration law, advising high-net-worth individuals and international figures in politics, the arts and entertainment, on immigration matters. Our managing partner, Teni Shahiean has been ranked in the Legal 500 for her work as an immigration solicitor and has been highly accredited by the Law Society for her expertise.

Results: Over 99% of applications, such as for Permanent residency that we have submitted on behalf of clients to UK Visa and immigration are successful. Our high success rates also relate to submissions for Tier 1 Entrepreneur and Investor Visas, Indefinite Leave to Remain, Human Rights and Asylum, Tier 2 visa applications and family visas. Our EU Permanent Resident Card applications are highly successful, despite recent reports of up to 28% being rejected by the Home Office for certain individuals. Our specialisation and expertise allows us to provide creative solutions to our clients' immigration problems, especially when they fall outside of the Immigration Rules. Relationships: We partner closely with our business law immigration clients, supporting them not only with their application but with hiring talent, investing funds and complying with the duties and responsibilities of a Sponsor Licence. For example, we recently helped an international bank's London branch to obtain a Sponsor Licence to enable recruitment of talent from an international office. We maintain close contact with this client, ensuring they are kept up to date with changes that could affect their compliance and advising them on further recruitment strategies. Our expertise in commercial and employment law allows us to provide a seamless service to our business immigration law clients, saving them considerable time and money. In-depth knowledge: Our team thrives on solving complex immigration law issues. We have been involved in many challenging Judicial Review and appeal cases involving Human Rights issues. This provides our clients with the security of knowing that we can advise and represent them from the beginning of their matter to the end. Connections: Our partners have developed robust connections with top barristers, wealth managers, financial advisors and business coaches. These relationships help us support our clients, many of whom have few contacts in the UK, by introducing them to advisors who can assist with investing funds, growing their business and getting the legal results they desire. In addition to our connections in the UK, we have associates throughout the Middle East, China, America, Australia and South East Asia. Business focused: Our clients enjoy the benefit of a seamless legal service when they instruct us on business immigration matters. Our registered European lawyer, Dr Lusine Navasardyan, has a wealth of expertise in commercial law and business immigration and in tandem with her Supervisor Najma Ali and the partners is a key driver of improving immigration law in the UK.

Our team is committed to providing the same exceptional service to everyone who contacts us, whether they are a multi-national company or an individual seeking entry into the UK. Having this attitude provides our clients with confidence that their personal and/or commercial legal matters are in the hands of a firm that addresses their unique needs and challenges rather than simply providing one-size-fits all immigration law advice. Our Story: After spending many years gaining experience and expertise in large London legal firms, founders Teni Shahiean and Oshin Shahiean set up OTS Solicitors in 2014. Alongside former immigration judge, Paul Gulbenkian they have successfully established a boutique law firm whose values of compliance, client service and legal excellence are well and truly entrenched.

With members trained in Lexcel Practice Management Standards and Client Care, OTS Solicitors has tailored these standards, so they impact every corner of our operation. This ensures our clients receive optimal service, satisfaction and value for money. Teni, Oshin and Paul have worked together for many years. This allows them to draw on each other's expertise when advising on matters providing exceptional, personalised service to every one of the firm's clients, no matter what their size or budget.

Douglas Hanna is the CEO of a multi-million dollar company, but you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at his office filled with mostly empty desks. But Hanna is confident that business is steadily humming—just not there. At least 20 of the company's 38 employees are hard at work—remotely.
"They're not here, but that doesn't mean they're not working," Hanna says. "A lot of them aren't even in the state, much less the east coast. But this hasn't really affected us. If anything it's made us a lot stronger." Stronger, Hanna believes, because they're able to hire the best employees, then allow them to work from home, close to their families.
But Hanna, a junior at Duke University, works in the office—when he doesn't have to go to class. "Basically if I'm not in class or sleeping I'm probably working or doing something related to it," Hanna says. He puts in about 40 to 50 hours a week toward the business, which he calls a priority over school. Hanna understands this mindset might not be good, but he's focused on the long run with his business, which he plans to stick with after he graduates in December of 2012.
It makes sense for Hanna's business to be so high-tech and business-forward, A Small Orange LLC, is, after all, a Web hosting business. It's a high-end provider of shared, reseller, VPS, and dedicated Web hosting services, to be exact. About half a million websites are hosted by A Small Orange.
Hanna worked with an old boss of his, Brent Oxley of HostGator.com, to buy A Small Orange in March 2010. After that, the venture became formally known as A Small Orange LLC. "We weren't a formalized company until we closed on A Small Orange," Hanna says. Their business plan is to buy Web hosting companies that aren't reaching their full potential, to improve them, grow them, and then, typically, keep them. Sometimes they'll sell the business after improvements have been made.
"Web hosting is still very much a commodity product," Hanna says. But he believes the company stands out for their quality of service. However the road to great service and customer trust hasn't been without its speed bumps. The company had a hacking attempt in July. The stress of dealing with that situation—combined with the weight of a summer class—was a definite strain on Hanna.
Fortunately, by being honest and having a clear plan of action, the company was able to make several serious changes toward prevention without losing too many customers. Hanna, who had also been personally calling people and explaining the situation alongside his management team, was relieved. "There's that moment of truth when you start seeing what the reactions are once you tell people what happened," Hanna says. "Hearing encouraging words from customers and not seeing mass exodus of them was really helpful in a situation like that."
A Small Orange has a varied customer base, from medium-sized businesses to personal blogs for about 25,000 people. And the business is doing well, with $3.92 million in revenue for 2011. But while the company is always striving to deliver great service and dependable Web hosting services, it's in no rush to become the biggest. "We don't want to be Go Daddy," Hanna says, "but we do want to be the best Web hosting company, so if we slip in terms of quality we might slow down growth in order to keep up that quality, because at the end of the day I think that's why our customers are here and I think that's what will lead us to continue long-term success."

Recommended Reading: Fist-of-Cuffs: A response to 'Toronto, City of Sissies'
Jeff Perera is a friend of Shameless, founder of the Ryerson University White Ribbon Campaign chapter, event director of TEDxRyersonUWomen, the only TEDxWomen event in Toronto, and co-director and curator of the annual discussion-focused "What Makes a Man" White Ribbon Conference at Ryerson.
Along with being an all-around fabulous person, Jeff has written a piece in response to a hateful piece by the National Post's Christie Blatchford that asserted the Toronto is a city full of "sissies."
Every one of us was meant to embrace our whole, full humanity. Yet, enforced ideas of what being a man is leaves every boy and man wrestling to supress themselves. We are raised to value an unattainable standard, and devalue anything 'less than', which is any aspect of our humanity labelled 'feminine'. Men are left feeling they are not given permission (from others or from our own self) to discover our handcuffed array of emotions. Denying or forced to deny sides of our self, we are the walking dead, numb and emotionally illiterate. This leaves us numb to the very fact of the gun pressing on our soul. The sound of the resulting trauma inflected on the world is muted by a silencer, but the impact resonates like an endless echo of gunfire on women and men worldwide. The result is fathers who have been home everyday of their children's lives yet could not be more distant. The result is men who would rather die than go see the doctor, and so they die. The result is boys being called 'faggots' or Christie Blatchford's preferred term: 'Sissies'.The result is heterosexual boys face homophobic bullying because they don't fit the narrow mold. The result is men and young men trapped in endless cycles of substance addition to suppress what they aren't emotionally able to deal with. The result is young men who won't back down, no matter what. The result is men who are ready to die over a pair of shoes which they value more than their very own lives. The result is men with disabilities made to feel a heightened level of inadequacy. The result is guys who rather approach women with aggression and violent bravado because they cannot compute vulnerability. The result is severe impacts and financial costs to our Healthcare systems. The result is LBGT communities facing a denial of their right to existence, nevermind equity. The result is women in Canada and across the world subject to devaluation, discrimination and subsequently all forms of violence.

MIDDLETOWN, N.J.—Gasoline rationing imposed in New Jersey after Superstorm Sandy has ended.
The odd-even rationing began Nov. 3 because some gas stations couldn't get fuel while others didn't have electricity to pump it.
Gov. Chris Christie says gas supplies are plentiful and there are no more lines of motorists waiting for fuel.
Rationing was put in effect in 12 counties in central and northern New Jersey. It ended at 6 a.m. Tuesday.
Rationing continues in New York City and on Long Island.

William (Bill) P. Donley Sr., 82, Principal Partner With Meidinger & Associates
William (Bill) P. Donley Sr., 82, died peacefully on Thursday, July 19, at the Episcopal Church Home with his family at his side.
Bill was born Jan. 10, 1930, in Shaker Heights, Ohio, and moved with his family to Louisville at age 15. He graduated from Male High School and attended Dennison University where he became a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. He then studied at the University of Kentucky, and ultimately graduated from the University of Louisville after serving his country in the U.S. Army Signal Corps.
Bill was a principal partner with Meidinger & Associates, now William Mercer, until his retirement in 1987. He was a member of Rotary Club of Louisville for which he served as secretary and later became a Paul Harris Fellow. He was also a member of one of the first Leadership Louisville classes. Ever an avid golfer, he and his family were long-time members of Big Spring Country Club.
Bill was predeceased by his parents, Jackson H. and Dorothy D. Donley.
Bill is survived by his wife of 33 years, Jeannette (Thompson), his daughters Laura King (Rob) of Louisville and Sarah Donley of Northampton Mass., son Patrick Donley (Terri Burt) of Louisville, son Kelvin Hanger (Abby) of Hebron, Ky., and daughter Melanie Vittitow (Dave) of Louisville. He is also survived by his sister Lynn Jones (Michael) of Greensboro, N.C., and their children Margee and Christopher. Surviving him as well are his step-mother Dorothea Donley, brother Leonard Price, brother Barker Price (Joan, daughters Keaton and Natalie), and sister Heloise Price (children Stacie and Carter). Left to cherish his memory are grandchildren Elizabeth, Alex, Emily, Jack, Amanda, Max, Luke, Greg, Olivia, Will, and Sammie. Bill is also survived by adopted family Melinda and Dr. Mark Brockman (Mark, John, Michael & Jacob), Jeff Bowman (Evan), and Stuart Bowman (Liam).

Doctor William (Bill) Johnston Mansfield Jr., DMD, 86, Dentist And Clinical Professor
Doctor William (Bill) Johnston Mansfield Jr., DMD, 86, died peacefully July 24, 2012 at The Episcopal Church Home. As a young man, Bill was a violinist and had first chair in the state youth orchestra. After graduating from Male HS in 1943, he put away his violin and enlisted in the Army Air Corps. After basic training, Bill served with the 15th Air Force and was stationed in Foggia Italy. He flew twenty-one combat missions over Germany and Austria.
After WW II, Bill returned to Louisville and began his undergraduate studies at The University of Louisville where he received a BA in Biology in 1949. While working as an X-Ray technician at St. Joseph Infirmary, he met and later married Juanita Loren Howard. They would have celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary on Aug. 6 this year.
He received a DMD degree from The University of Louisville School of Dentistry (USLD) in 1953. Bill was an extraordinary dentist and was entirely motivated by what was best for his patients. He had a private dental practice in Saint Matthews until 1987 when he left private practice to become a full-time faculty member at the ULSD. A Clinical Professor, he served the school in many capacities including:Â Acting Chair of the Department of Primary Patient Care, Acting Associate Dean, and Director of Continuing Education.
He truly loved his students and continued to teach until 2009. He believed he was so very fortunate during his professional career to have enjoyed the best of both worlds, teaching students and caring for his patients in his dental practice. The talented violinist hands became the hands of an exceptional artist, practitioner, and educator in practicing and teaching restorative dentistry.
Bill was particularly proud to have established The University of Louisville School of Dentistry Alumni Day which was first held in 1984. This day of dental continuing education was created to honor and show appreciation to the ULSD's many alumni. Bill was humbled and deeply moved when the ULSD renamed its Alumni Day to The William J. Mansfield, Jr. Alumni Day in his honor.
He was a member of The Louisville Dental Society, The Kentucky Dental Association, and The American Dental Association. He served as President of The Louisville Dental Society and Vice President of The Kentucky Dental Association. He was elected to The American College of Dentists and served as a member of the University of Louisville Dental Alumni Board of Governors. He was also an active member of the Philological Society. He received many teaching awards from his students, colleagues, and the profession including The University of Louisville Distinguished Service Award in 2002 .
Bill was an active member of Broadway Baptist Church. He served as Chairman of the Board of Deacons and was a member of the choir for over 50 years. He was Mayor of the City of Springlee in Saint Matthews and Chairman of the Board of Directors of St. Matthews Area Ministries.
Bill loved his family, his church, his patients, his students, his colleagues, his community and his country. He is survived by his wife Juanita Howard Mansfield, his son William Michael Mansfield, daughter Sarah Elizabeth Mansfield, and Julie Mansfield Lockhart (Brad) of Cincinnati, his sister Jean Mansfield Cassady, seven grandchildren, three great grandchildren and four nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents William Johnston Mansfield Sr. and Fannie Woods Mansfield and by his sisters, Mary Edna Smith and Mildred Louise Skaggs.
The funeral service was held Saturday, July 28, 10 a.m. at Broadway Baptist Church, 4000 Brownsboro Rd., with a Military Honors burial at Cave Hill Cemetery. Visitation was Friday, 3 to 8 p.m. at Pearson's Funeral Home, 149 Breckinridge Lane.
In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the William J. Mansfield Jr. Student Scholarship Fund, School of Dentistry – Room 239, University of Louisville, 40292.
Philip Pendleton Ardery, 98, Lawyer
Philip Pendleton Ardery, 98, died July 26 at his home in Louisville. A decorated veteran of World War II and lawyer, Phil dedicated his last 30 years to writing and to serving many charitable and civic causes as a hard-charging organizer and fundraiser. He was born March 6, 1914, in Lexington, Kentucky, son of William Breckenridge and Julia Hoge Spencer Ardery. His father served in the Kentucky General Assembly and was Judge of Kentucky's 14th Circuit from 1936 until 1967. His mother, a genealogist and writer, was an early preservationist in Bourbon County; she led the movement to save the Duncan Tavern in Paris, built in 1788, four years before Kentucky became a state.
Phil grew up on a farm between Paris and Lexington, and the people, plants and animals of Bourbon County left deep impressions on him, which he loved recounting. His writings about some of them appeared in Heroes and Horses, a collection of essays published by the University Press of Kentucky in 1996. He attended the Paris city schools and went on to the University of Kentucky, where he studied English literature and graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1935. Phil attended law school at Harvard, graduating in 1938, and was admitted to the Kentucky Bar that year.
Although he had joined the U.S. Infantry Reserve in 1935, in 1940 Phil enlisted in the Army Air Corps as a private. He graduated 1st Captain of the Flying Cadet Corps from Kelly Field in San Antonio, Texas, in April 1941 and was assigned to serve as a flight instructor at Goodfellow Field in San Angelo, Texas. There, he met his bride-to-be, Anne Stuyvesant Tweedy, at a dance. They were married at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in San Angelo December 6, 1941, the day before Pearl Harbor was bombed.
Capt. Ardery commanded the 564th Bomb Squadron (H) beginning in February 1943, joining the 389th Bomb Group (H) based in Norwich, England, that June. From outposts in North Africa, he flew B-24s on many missions across the Mediterranean, including the first low-level raid on oil refineries at Ploesti, Romania, for which he earned the Silver Star. From England and North Africa, he flew raids over Vegesack, Bayeux, Solingen, and Oslo during the winter of 1943-44, leading up to the invasion of Normandy. He led the second Combat Bomb Wing on the first daylight bombing of Berlin in March 1944 and flew on the first mission of D-Day, June 6, 1944. His memoir of the war, Bomber Pilot, was published in 1978.
Discharged from active duty in 1945, Phil was named two years later to command the 123rd Fighter Wing of the newly formed Kentucky Air National Guard. Called to active duty during the Korean War, Phil and the 123rd relocated to England, where Phil served as wing-base commander of the NATO Air Force, RAF Station, in Manston, 1951-52. After deactivation, he continued to command the 123rd, which at times included air groups in other states as well as Kentucky's group based at Louisville's Standiford Field. Phil was promoted to Brigadier General in April 1962 and retired from the military as a Major General in 1965.
Phil first practiced law in Frankfort before the war as a solo practitioner, taking virtually any client who came in the door or was assigned to him by the court. After he returned from the war, Phil practiced at various times with Edward F. Prichard, Jr., A.E. Funk, Jr., Charles Hobson, and Henry Meigs. By 1946, he had built up his practice and became chief counsel for Kentucky's growing system of rural electric cooperatives, at a time when much of rural Kentucky lacked electric power. Phil handled regulatory issues, trial work, and general corporate and financing matters for the separate cooperatives, the East Kentucky Power Cooperative, and the Kentucky Association of Electric Cooperatives.
In 1952, Phil and his family moved to Louisville. He practiced law with Harrison M. Robertson, then J. Royden Peabody, before co-founding Brown, Ardery, Todd & Dudley in June 1959. The firm merged with Brown, Eldred & Bonnie and Marshall, Cochran, Heyburn & Wells in 1972 to form Brown, Todd, & Heyburn, then Kentucky's largest firm. Phil retired from the practice of law in 1979.
Phil was deeply engaged by the progressive politics of the Roosevelt administration and in his early 20s became active in the Democratic Party. From his days as a high school debater, he relished discussion and found in electoral politics a place for philosophical exercise, practical action, and sport. He ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination for a U.S. Senate seat (1946) and was the Democratic candidate for Kentucky's 3rd Congressional District in 1956, losing to John Robsion. He was elected to the Jefferson County Fiscal Court in 1958, an office he resigned three years later.
Raised in his mother's faith, the Disciples of Christ (Christian Church), Phil later became an Episcopalian. The Arderys were early members of St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Louisville and have been active in the congregation for more than sixty years. Phil served on its vestry and was a deputy to five Episcopal General Conventions, including the 1976 convention where he proudly voted for the ordination of women.
He was chairman of the Kentucky Heart Association 1955-58 and chaired the American Heart Association from 1966-69. He was a trustee of the University of the South (Sewanee) 1977-80 and served on the boards of many civic and charitable organizations, notably the Amelia Brown Frazier Rehabilitation Center (later Frazier Rehab Institute), Jewish Hospital, the Thomas D. Clark Foundation, the Kentucky Horse Park, the Kentucky Historical Society, The Filson Club (later Filson Historical Society), and Ballet Español.
In the early 1980s, Phil became an ardent advocate for mental health, a cause he pursued for more than two decades. With Barry Bingham, Sr., Bosworth Todd, and Dr. Herb Wagemaker, Phil and others founded the Schizophrenia Foundation of Kentucky in 1981. Out of this organization grew Wellspring, which now provides housing, care and rehabilitation for people with mental illness at 19 sites throughout Jefferson and neighboring counties. Wellspring's first residential home, located on S. Third Street in Louisville, is named Ardery House.
Also in 1981 Barry Bingham, Bosworth Todd, and Phil organized American Schizophrenia Foundation, Inc., as a Kentucky non-profit corporation. They worked with generous donors in New York, and the organization was renamed as the National Alliance for Research in Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD). Today, it is managed in New York, offers its services under the name "Brain and Behavior Research Foundation,â€Â and remains incorporated in Kentucky in honor of its Kentucky founders. Since 1987, this organization has awarded nearly $300 million in research grants to scientists in the United States and 25 other countries. Phil worked for these organizations as a fundraiser and board member for more than 20 years. He also served on the boards of the Mental Health Association of Kentucky and the Louisville Alliance for the Mentally Ill.
"Everything does not have to have a beginning or an end,†Phil wrote in 2002 in an essay musing on the legal question of when life begins. "Infinity is infinite. One of the things within the realm of infinity is life.â€
Phil's long life was the daily occupation of Anne Tweedy Ardery, his wife and friend for almost 71 years. He is survived by Anne, son Philip Pendleton Ardery, Jr. and his wife Cecilia Palacio Ardery, son Joseph Lord Tweedy Ardery and his wife Anne Lenihan Ardery, all of Louisville, and daughter Julia Spencer Ardery and her husband, William Allen Bishop, of Austin, Tex. His son Peter Brooks Ardery died July 15, 1974 while traveling in India. Beloved grandchildren are Oliver Benjamin Ardery of New York City, Ruben Reinaldo Ardery and Joseph Breckenridge Ardery of Louisville, Rose Lenihan Ardery Shepherd and her husband Kenneth Bradley Shepherd of Lexington, James Lord Ardery of Brooklyn, N.Y., Anne Tweedy Ardery of Somerville, Mass., and Philip Pendleton Ardery, III, of Arlington, Va.
Phil's family is grateful for the months of service provided by Eva Spaid's Care Network and is especially grateful to Betty Goins, Diane Coleman, Lynn Brawner, Bernice Dillon, Jennifer McFarland, Collis Marshall, Janet Whitaker, Beverly Grant, Dee Evans, and Gina Jo Foster.
Visitation was from 4 until 7 p.m. Monday, July 30, at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, 330 N. Hubbards Ln. with private burial at Cave Hill Cemetery. A memorial service took place at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church Tuesday, July 31, 11 a.m., followed by a reception at the church.
Phil Ardery may be remembered by gifts sent to Wellspring, P.O. Box 1927, Louisville, Ky. 40201, www.wellspring-house.org or the charity of your choice.

Kutcher's Indian character, Raj, has drawn an outcry from Indian Americans
Ashton Kutcher's new Popchips commercials were meant to be funny and lighthearted, but one has been swiftly pulled – and an apology issued – following a grim reaction from Indian Americans.
The ad in which Ashton plays "Raj," a Bollywood producer – complete with brownface makeup and a heavy Indian accent – has been removed from the Popchips website and other online channels amid an outcry that it is racist, reports The New York Times.
The most blistering critique came from Anil Dash, the tech entrepreneur. "I can't imagine I have to explain this to anyone in 2012, but if you find yourself putting brown makeup on a white person in 2012 so they can do a bad 'funny' accent in order to sell potato chips, you are on the wrong course," he wrote on his website.
RELATED: Ashton Kutcher (As Many Characters) Is Looking for Love
The Two and a Half Men actor, 34, has yet to respond to the controversy. But Keith Belling, founder and CEO of Popchips, posted the following message on the company's website: "We received a lot feedback about the dating campaign parody we launched today and appreciate everyone who took the time to share their point of view. Our team worked hard to create a light-hearted parody featuring a variety of characters that was meant to provide a few laughs. We did not intend to offend anyone. I take full responsibility and apologize to anyone we offended."
Added a company rep: "The new Popchips worldwide dating parody featuring four characters was created to provoke a few laughs and was never intended to stereotype or offend anyone. At Popchips we embrace all types of shapes, flavors and colors, and appreciate all snackers, no matter their race or ethnicity. We hope people can enjoy this in the spirit it was intended."
The ad series spoofs dating videos. In other executions, Kutcher plays a diva, a hippie and a biker. Kutcher was named "president of pop culture" for Popchips in 2010, and worked on the commercials with the ad agency Zambezi in Los Angeles.

Alshon Jeffery claims that he and Brandon Marshall form the finest duo of wide receivers in the NFL. Pierre Garcon would beg to differ.
The Washington Redskins pass-catcher told NFL AM on Thursday that he and free-agent addition DeSean Jackson plan to shove the Chicago Bears' duo into second place.
"That's our goal -- to unseat (Jeffery and Marshall)," Garcon said. "But I guess last year their stats were the top two receivers on the same team -- to be up there in the top 10 category for catches and yards or however they play it out. They are two good receivers, but we'll be up there next year fighting for that position."
While Jeffery and Marshall paired for a whopping 189 catches and 2,716 yards last season, Garcon's claims are far from nonsensical.
After all, he led all NFL receivers with 113 grabs while Jackson shattered his own career marks for catches (82) and yardage (1,332) in Chip Kelly's high-octane attack.
With Comeback Player of the Year candidate Robert Griffin III throwing the ball to a group that also includes Andre Roberts and ascendant tight end Jordan Reed, opposing defenses will have their hands full come September.
"It's hard to find a more complete receiving corps in the NFL," wrote NFL Media's Bucky Brooks, who ranked Washington above the Bears, Broncos, 49ers and Colts.
It's worth noting that Jay Gruden never had a No. 2 receiver catch more than 64 passes or 737 yards in Cincinnati, but much of the coach's time there was spent without a bona fide second fiddle to A.J. Green.
With Pierre and DeSean waiting in the wings, Gruden's luck is bound to change in 2014.

Swimming Pool Blog

Swimming Pool Alarm Comparisons
May is Pool Safety Month, but why wait until then? If you are considering a pool alarm for your pool, to protect young children or old pets, this post is for you.
Pool alarms will not keep your pool safe. They are a poor substitute for a 4-sded fence or safety cover, and must be combined with constant supervision, swim lessons, and strong pool rules - and it can lead to a false sense of security.
If you read pool alarm reviews (and I do), you'll see that nearly all models suffer from false alarms, and it could be either - false-positive or false-negative alarms. Nonetheless, pool alarms can still be a valuable Layer of Protection, to supplement other pool safety measures around the pool.
Today, let's review several of the popular pool alarms, and I'll pepper the conversation with some of my own subjective and objective opinions. ;-)
Sub-Surface Pool Alarms
In this category are the alarms that sit on the edge of the pool, or attach to a ladder. They are meant to detect sub-surface motion, thereby eliminating most false alarms from wind or birds. In general, it takes a 15-20 lb object to fall into the pool within 20 feet of the unit for its displacement sensor to trigger the alarm. Poolguard has been in business for over 30 years, with the PoolGuard pool alarm. Ten years later came PoolEye, a line of pool alarms from Smartpool. New on the market is the AquaGuard pool alarm, which claims increased ability to ignore wind, water features and some pool cleaners. All 3 of these come with instructions for mounting onto the edge of the pool. PoolEye also makes the PE-20 which can be mounted to a ladder handrail, or to the overhanging edge of pool coping, without drilling small anchors into the pool deck. The PoolGuard Safety Buoy, great for softsided pools or small aboveground pools, fountains or small ponds. It's a floating pool alarm, but uses subsurface detection to eliminate many false alarms.
Subsurface pool alarms don't work well in all situations, and may have false alarms in areas of high winds, or pools with lots of visiting birds. Pool cleaners and water features with lots of splashing water can trigger a false alarm, which is never any fun. Too many of those, and you could start to run more slowly to the pool.
Surface Pool Alarms
Surface pool alarms float on the surface of the pool, and are best kept tied to a string or twine, to keep them in the center of the pool. They operate with a type of Tilt Alarm, like an old pinball game. A vertically hanging metal rod is suspended inside of a 1.5" sensor ring. If the rod touches the ring, the alarm goes off. It senses the surface disruption caused by an object falling into the pool, as it bobs on the surface waves. The Pool Patrol is the most well known floating pool alarm. A new kid on the block, the PoolGuard Safety Buoy, is a floating alarm, but actually uses sub-surface detection.
Surface alarms can be used in pools without a hard edge, or in ponds or fountains. They tend to be more prone to false alarms than sub-surface detection pool alarms.
Wearable Pool Alarms
In this category, there are recent new developments. The original, and only wearable pool alarms until now, is the poolcenter favorite, the Safety Turtle, a turtle shaped wristband which sounds an alarm at a base station if the wristband gets wet. New on the market is the iSwimband, which is worn around the head while swimming, and sounds an alert if the child is underwater for longer than a preset time, say 30 seconds. Taking it even further is a product called the SEAL, a programmable band worn around the neck, that can be set to a range of alarm options. This last item is set for product release in 2014.
Wearable pool alarms are, in my opinion, much better suited to the task of protecting a child. They are also portable and easy to use on vacation, or while visiting friends homes, nearly anywhere there is water - not just pools. Do kids like to wear these? Probably not, but when you explain to them the importance of wearing these devices, they can gain a little awareness of pool safety.
Thanks for Reading
Mark Garcia

Michael Servetus (1511-53)
Michael Servetus was a theologian who also studied medicine in Lyons and Paris. In 1553 he anonymously published a 700-page book, Christianismi restitution (The Restoration of Christianity). His religious views were considered extreme, angering both Catholics and Protestants.
His description of the pulmonary transit of the blood through the lungs was part of his theological work. Servetus argued that as the soul resided in the bloodstream, one would need to study the origin and movement of blood in order to understand the soul.
Servetus challenged Galen's model of physiology, in which blood was produced by the liver and consumed by the body. Instead, he argued that blood became mixed with air, and therefore spirit, in the lungs.
Servetus's religious views were considered so heretical that he was condemned for heresy, not only by the Catholic Inquisition, but also in Protestant Geneva, where he was burnt at the stake. Included in the bonfire that killed him were almost all the copies of his book, limiting its influence on the history of anatomy.

Widespread flooding in Beijing over the weekend is said to have killed at least 37. Unsurprisingly, after the floods the Chinese government wanted to keep negative messages under wraps.
Here's an (alleged) censorship instruction from the weekend, published by China Digital Times:
Beijing Municipal Committee Department of Propaganda: For public opinion guidance (舆论引导) concerning yesterday's rainstorms, all media outlets, including central news organizations, must emphasize the power of human compassion over the elements. All Youth League committees and branches must coordinate positive reports and information on the storm in their commentaries, forum posts, and reprints of articles. Public Weibo accounts, accounts of individual Youth League members and newly registered accounts must all complete report forms.
Beijing Municipal News Office: Do not report on the collapse of the subway. (The floods caused the Jintai Road construction site on Line 6 to cave in [zh].)
Beijing Municipal Office of Internet Propaganda Management: Remove Li Chengpeng's essay "Totem".
The censorship didn't seem to work out completely, however, and posts criticizing Beijing's infrastructure soon went viral on Weibo, with many comments overtly attacking the Chinese government.
Even state media outlets like Xinhua and the Global Times were soon criticizing Beijing's underdeveloped sewage system.

Update 2015-02-27: I have updated the script. Read about the changes here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/deploymentguys/archive/2015/02/27/configuring-regional-and-language-settings-online-in-an-mdt-task-sequence-script-update.aspx. Both posts now have the updated script download.
I had a customer who wanted to install the operating system language packs as a dynamic online application installation in the ConfigMgr task sequence based on the region where the client was deployed. Because of this, they wanted to change the locale settings (UI language, keyboard layout, etc.) dynamically after the language pack was installed.
MDT has the properties UserLocale, SystemLocale (XP/2003), InputLocale (XP/2003), KeyboardLocale (Vista and higher), and UILanguage for configuring locale settings. (Note that SystemLocale is only a standard property in MDT 2010 and later. SystemLocale must be added as a custom property for versions of MDT before 2010.) However, these are only used by MDT to configure these settings in the answer file (Sysprep.inf or Unattend.xml) offline when the operating system image is applied.
To configure these settings online requires using a control panel command with a special answer file that just has locale settings. These are documented here for Window XP/2003 and Windows Vista and higher:
How to create the regional and language settings for an unattended installation of Windows MultiLanguage Version
Windows Vista Command Line Configuration of International Settings
So I created the attached script for Windows XP and Windows Vista to run after the MUI Pack install. I put this script together right at the end of the engagement (last minute customer request) so it did not get much testing. I haven't tried it with Windows 7 but it should work since XML file used should be the same as Windows Vista. If you encounter problems, please post comments.
This script uses the MDT Properties above and a custom property called GeoID (Vista and higher) to create the appropriate XML or INF settings file (named RegionalOptions.log) and then runs the appropriate command with intl.cpl. (If SystemLocale is not specified, then the value of UserLocale is used for that.) You could expand this script to handle other settings using the references links found above.
