I am privileged to be in the Oak Ridge Breakfast Rotary Club with Mary Lou Auxier and Jim Michel. Mary Lou and I first knew each other at Y-12 before she retired. She and I both admire what is happening at the Free Medical Clinic of Oak Ridge, where, as the recent story news editor Donna Smith wrote for The Oak Ridger stated, Jim Michel makes a difference in people's lives.
Jim is an unassuming, kind and caring individual who sincerely wants to help people and he does! Along with fellow physician Tanya Vargas, they co-direct the Free Medical Clinic. In the short time this service has been available, literally some 2,400-plus people have been provided much needed medical help when they perhaps could not afford such care.
So, being a historian, let me help you understand just how this phenomenal service to our community came to be. Mary Lou shared with me a document, "The Birth of the Free Medical Clinic of Oak Ridge by John Auxier and Mary Helen Rose," written in March 2011. She wondered if I would like to publish this material in "Historically Speaking."
Of course, I most certainly did, and I really do appreciate those of you who, like Mary Lou, think of "Historically Speaking" when you see something historical that should be published. Not a single day goes by that someone does not tell me how much they appreciate the column. I am hesitant to say too much, as I don't feel comfortable doing so, but the feedback is tremendous and I just want to say "thank you" to those of you who appreciate what I am trying to do and who take the time to tell me so. I do appreciate it!
Now, let's learn together about the "birth of the Free Medical Clinic of Oak Ridge" as written by John Auxier and Mary Helen Rose:
The genesis of the Free Medical Clinic of Oak Ridge, was in the Clinics of Hope USA (COH). COH grew out of the efforts of a group of men from the greater Knoxville area. The group included physician Tom Kim, the originator, and head of the Free Medical Clinic of America, located on Chapman Highway in Knoxville.
His ambition, which permeated the group, was the establishment of free medical clinics to serve the working poor and medically uninsured. Members of the group participated in a bus trip to Washington, D.C., to meet with members of Congress and to display a sign on the steps of the Capitol to create greater interest in the approximately 47 million uninsured persons in the nation.
Members of the group subsequently visited several other operating free clinics to ascertain the range of facilities and medical support at those sites. In addition to more local clinics, the group gave special attention to the free clinics at Hilton Head, S.C., and Chattanooga. The group also contacted the organization, Volunteers in Medicine (VIM), an enormously helpful agency.
The group decided that a formal association should be formed as a 501(c)3, and the Clinics of Hope USA was incorporated, received the approval of the IRS and a state of Tennessee license, and became an active organization. The formative group included eight persons: Randy Overbey (president); Carl Faught (secretary); Edward Cate (treasurer); Albert Auxier; John Auxier; Tom Kim, M.D.; B. Ray Thompson; Hiroshi Toyohara, M.D.; and Randy Tyree. The overall mission was the establishment of free medical clinics.
In the summer of 2008, John Auxier invited Kim to address his Sunday School class at First United Methodist Church of Oak Ridge (FUMCOR). Kim's talk ignited a huge interest in free medical services for the uninsured poor, such that Auxier decided to attempt the formation of a clinic in Oak Ridge. With the support and encouragement of Clinics of Hope, a meeting was held at FUMCOR on July 19, 2008.
All persons who would like to volunteer in such a clinic were invited. The response was amazing, with more than 100 persons attending. After the initial publicity, both citizens and organizations made monetary contributions that allowed for acquisitions of materials that were not otherwise donated. The conclusion was clear — a free clinic would be spawned by these volunteers.
At the organizing meeting, Auxier talked about things that would have to be done before a new clinic could be opened. Among those, we would need to elect a board of governors and officers; to choose a name for the clinic; and find a site for the clinic. The group elected the following officers: Auxier, president; Jim Giles, vice president; John Yarbrough, secretary; and Ann Munz, treasurer. Mary Helen Rose served as recording secretary from the beginning, and later was elected secretary.
The initial board members (governors) included James Michel, M.D.; Tanya Vargas, M.D.; Dale Allen, Glen Arnold, Ed Cate, and Mayme Crowell. Michel and Vargas agreed to be co-medical directors of the Clinic. Over the next few months, Allen and Arnold resigned to put their efforts into other activities and business, and Cate resigned as he was on the COH board. Later still, James Barnes, Sharon Cabe, Michael McCutcheon, and Pat Petrie were added to the board.
The new Board of Governors explored several possible sites for the new Clinic. FUMCOR owned the former church property of Trinity United Methodist Church as a result of a merger. The property included a training building, which seemed entirely suitable for the new clinic, and FUMCOR agreed to lease part of the building to the clinic for a nominal $1/year. John Yarbrough, co-chair of Missions at FUMCOR, handled the lease agreement and continues to act as liaison with FUMC.
The men's group at Kern Methodist Church took on the bulk of the work in preparing the space for the Clinic. A hurdle became obvious when restoration of the education building was considered. It needed, in addition to the usual refurbishment, the rebuilding of a restroom to accommodate handicapped persons, and this had to be done according to city of Oak Ridge codes.
This effort included "jackhammering" a section of concrete floor and doing extensive plumbing (the commode had to be an inch farther from the wall to meet the codes). Giles and David Allen, along with other volunteer workmen, put in hundreds of hours in preparing the space for the clinic to open.
Board members considered applying for a charter and nonprofit status for the Clinic, but eventually decided to be an affiliate of Clinics of Hope USA. By the summer of 2009, the Free Medical Clinic of Oak Ridge had finished the necessary legal paper work from the state to be an affiliate of COH. The Clinic signed an operating agreement with COH on Nov. 4, 2009. (Note: In March 2011, the COH board of governors decided they would like The Clinic to be a separate corporation, and that process began.)
Active solicitation of medical support personnel and equipment was initiated. A great contribution was given by the Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge in the form of a commitment to provide significant medical supplies, laboratory services, and imaging. Obviously, there were and are limits on the amount of assistance, but it was and is generous.
A major factor in the preparation and startup of the clinic was the diligent work of Ed and Nancy Cate. They had extensive experience with Kim's clinic, and they were strongly focused on the factors which could easily make or break the new clinic.
The countless hours they devoted to the legal work and managerial details were crucial to the preparation for the operation of the clinic. With their efforts, the efforts of Michel and Vargas, and the general support of the board, the church, and the public, a date was set for seeing the first patients.
The clinic opened for patients on Jan. 15, 2010, with hours all day Friday and on Saturday mornings. Volunteers were at the clinic every morning to answer the telephone and make appointments. A grand opening was held on Jan. 25 in the Fellowship Hall of the Trinity Church building, with TV personality Bill Williams as the master of ceremonies and a sizable crowd present.
At the Board meeting on July 25, 2010, Auxier announced he was stepping down and going off the Board, as he "felt his usefulness to the clinic had about run its course." His mission of getting the Clinic up and running had been achieved. At the next Board meeting on Sept. 1 (Auxier's last meeting), the following officers were elected: Jim Giles, president; John Yarbrough, vice president; Ann Munz, treasurer; and Mary Helen Rose, secretary.
By the end of the first year of operations, the Clinic had seen more than 700 patients in about 1,500 office visits. Finances were in good order, handbooks and other operational documents were in place.
Thanks to Mary Lou for sharing this and to John Auxier and Mary Helen Rose for writing the history. This is an excellent example of what Oak Ridge is capable of doing that is rarely seen elsewhere.

Five years ago our community came together to develop our first strategic plan in nearly two decades, Forward Thinking. This effort involved literally dozens of faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends from across the campus – and, in some cases, around the world.
We are in the final year of implementation of that ambitious plan, and can point to substantial gains across several of its priorities. Internationalization, diversity, development and interdisciplinary cooperation all have advanced significantly since the plan's adoption, even as other areas not emphasized explicitly- in particular, undergraduate enrollment– have experienced their own impressive achievements.
Our task now is to chart Case Western Reserve's next phase of progress. We begin in a context far different from when we began the previous planning effort. The economic downturn has heightened concerns over the affordability and value of university degrees. Globalization has accelerated its already rapid pace, and the proliferation of online degree programs and open learning platforms poses dramatic new challenges for all of higher education.
We face a climate that is far more complex and uncertain than five years ago. Yet we do so as a community that is measurably stronger, wiser and far more collaborative. We will use Forward Thinking as the foundation for our next five-year vision and plan, but we also will keep a broader horizon in mind. Case Western Reserve marks its bicentennial in 2026 and this next plan must position our university to celebrate that milestone as a place of innovation, intellectual vitality and national academic leadership.
These are high aspirations. Moving toward them will require wisdom, realism and insight. To that end, we again will draw on our greatest strength – our community. As in 2007-2008, we will engage individuals across the campus and our broader communities. After consultation with deans, the Faculty Senate, the Staff Advisory Council and other groups, we will convene a Strategic Plan Steering Committee composed of faculty, students, staff and alumni, and in turn launch individual working groups to concentrate specifically on some of the plan's key elements. In the coming weeks and months we will conduct multiple open forums to provide information and updates and hear your thoughts about the university's future. We also will provide online opportunities to learn more about the process, and to submit comments electronically. We will distribute our draft plan widely in the early spring, with an ultimate goal of submitting a final document to the Board of Trustees by the end of the academic year.
This process allows us to reflect upon lessons learned from the past five years, and to consider how we best can make our campus distinct among comprehensive private research universities. Its success depends on the quality of our ideas and the intensity of our enthusiasm. I urge you to take an active role in this effort, and thank you in advance for your participation.
W.A. "Bud" Baeslack III
Provost and Executive Vice President

The latest smartphone sales data from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, for the three months to August 2013, shows Windows Phone has posted its highest ever sales share of 9.2% across the five major European markets* and is now within one percentage point of iOS in Germany. Android remains the top operating system across Europe with a 70.1% market share, but its dominant position is increasingly threatened as growth trails behind both Windows and iOS.
Good news for Microsoft - bad news for Apple. Of course, we'll have to see how the iPhone 5S and 5C affect these numbers.

I'm sure everyone has been just as bewildered with the roller-coaster type of weather we have been having in the Ozark Highlands – and throughout the U.S. for that matter – as I am, but be assured that Old Man Winter will eventually raise its head before winter's end, and we'll be in the thick of a true Missouri snowstorm before long.
I'm sure everyone has been just as bewildered with the roller-coaster type of weather we have been having in the Ozark Highlands – and throughout the U.S. for that matter – as I am, but be assured that Old Man Winter will eventually raise its head before winter's end, and we'll be in the thick of a true Missouri snowstorm before long.
In the meantime, the beginning of a new year is an opportunity for the City to get out into the community and provide a comprehensive overview of the many City projects, programs, and plans that are completed or underway in our community. our City Administrator John Butz recently kicked off the first of such presentations last Friday when he gave an abbreviated State of the City "Community of Choice" PowerPoint presentation to members of the Rolla Rotary Club at their weekly meeting luncheon at Benton Square.
Through a series of graphs, analytics, photos and captions, John provided a snapshot of the significant projects that have recently been completed in the City and other projects that are well underway such as the new Public Works Service Park (located off McCutchen Drive near the Rolla Recycling Center) that includes a new building that will house the Environmental Services Department's Vehicle Maintenance Division, and Solid Waste Division.
Everything from the City's sales tax revenue projections, construction activity, retail activity, and even industrial activity are discussed, as he provides an overview of the state of the city from a financial, economic, and operational perspective. In addition to the presentation, John also provides plenty of opportunity for questions and answers, and to discuss issues and concerns that are on the minds of citizens, merchants, and members of our community. The next 'Community of Choice' presentation John will make will be on Tuesday, Jan. 22, for the members of the Rolla Kiwanis Club.
These mini-State of the City presentations are also given at other civic club meetings throughout the area, business luncheons, and Rolla Area Chamber of Commerce Luncheons so that as many folks in the Rolla area have an opportunity to keep informed of ongoing City projects and operations. The presentations also provide a unique opportunity for folks to provide valuable input and feedback to the City, and to keep an open line of communication.
As we begin a new year, I thought it would be appropriate to mention that filing for the 2013 Rolla Municipal General Election ended on Tuesday, Jan. 15. The following individuals have filed as City Council candidates for the election, which will be held on Tuesday, April 2: Rhonda Sue Myers (Ward 1); Gregory M. Sawyer (Ward 2); Susan J. Eudaly (Ward 3); David B. Nenninger (Ward 3); Louis J. Magdits (Ward 4); Mike Samaras (Ward 4); Brian Woolley (Ward 5); Carrolyn Bolin (Ward 5); Mark W. Walburg (Ward 6) and Fran Mazanec (Ward 6).
In closing I'd like to further clarify a topic I discussed in last week's column regarding the importance of following the proper rules and guidelines when walking or biking in the City's roadways. Missouri Revised Statues, Section 300.405.1 state that 'Where sidewalks are provided, it shall be unlawful for any pedestrian to walk along and upon an adjacent roadway.' The statute further specifies that 'where sidewalks are not provided any pedestrian walking along and upon a highway shall when practicable, walk only on the left side of the roadway or its shoulder facing traffic, which may approach from the opposite direction.'
In regards to bicycles, the City's municipal code (Chapter 27, Section 27-15) states that 'Every person riding a bicycle upon a roadway shall be granted all the rights and shall be subject to all of the duties applicable to the driver of a vehicle by the laws of the state.' The code further states that 'Whenever a person is riding a bicycle upon a sidewalk, such person shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian and shall give audible signal before overtaking and passing such pedestrian.' This situation pertains especially to the downtown area where individuals may be walking out of stores or restaurants onto a sidewalk when someone on a bicycle is approaching.
In closing, I would like to remind everyone that Rolla City Hall will be closed on Monday, Jan. 21 in observance of Martin Luther King, Junior's birthday. Due to Monday's holiday, the Rolla
City Council meeting will be held Tuesday, Jan. 22 at 6:30 p.m. The Environmental Services Department will also be closed on Monday, Jan. 21. Monday's trash will be picked up on Tuesday and Tuesday's trash will be picked up on Wednesday.
Have a nice weekend and a safe week!

Supporters of a ban on genetically modified crops packed the Jackson County Courthouse auditorium in Medford Wednesday morning before filing more than 6,700 signatures to put the issue before voters.
After addressing commissioners, members of GMO-Free Jackson County held a rally on the courthouse steps. They hope to get a measure banning genetically modified crops in Jackson County on the May 2014 ballot.
"Clearly, GMOs are an issue of concern for a very large segment of our community," petitioner and Ashland organic farmer Chris Hardy said in a statement to the Jackson County Board of Commissioners.
County Clerk Chris Walker said 4,662 verified signatures are needed to get a measure on the 2014 primary ballot.
The GMO-Free measure would ban anyone from raising genetically engineered plants in Jackson County, with exemptions for scientific research. It also calls for the county to conduct inspections and allows enforcement through citizen lawsuits.
Chief petitioner Brian Comnes, a retiree from Ashland, said the group wants to protect organic farmers whose crops could be contaminated by pollen from genetically engineered crops, such as sugar beets and alfalfa.
"If someone is growing GMO alfalfa next to your organic alfalfa, the whole burden is on you not to get cross-pollinated," he said. "The guy who grows the GMO stuff doesn't have to do a thing."
GMO proponents say genetically modified crops are more resistant to weeds and pests, easier to grow and more productive. The World Health Organization has said the crops are "not likely" to present risks to human health, though opponents say genetic engineering has not been adequately tested, so there's no way to know the long-term effects of GMO consumption.
Multinational Swiss corporation Syngenta raises genetically modified sugar beets less than four miles away from several local organic farms. Farms in Gold Hill, Medford, Talent and Ashland have had to throw away seed or plow under crops to prevent possible contamination, GMO-Free organizers have said.
"Freedom to farm here should not be a one-way street in favor of national corporations," Hardy said, adding a ban is the only feasible solution for the personal and economic health of Jackson County.
Rep. Peter Buckley, D-Ashland, has thrown his support behind a GMO ban. He compared the issue to a large tire producer making tires that put a chemical slick on the roads and degrade tires from other companies.
"If we allow GMO crops to contaminate fields in Jackson County, it's to our economic detriment," Buckley said in a statement to the commissioners.
Buckley said he has drafted bills to require compensation for farmers who suffer losses from contamination by genetically modified crops, and to assure that if a county enacts a ban, it would be able to enforce it.
"We have our Right to Farm Law in Oregon," he said. "It's a question, and I want to make sure we are on solid legal footing."
Buckley added he expected strong opposition from the genetically engineered crops industry.
Jason Couch of the Jackson County Grange said he supports the ban, adding GMO and organic farms cannot coexist in the Rogue Valley.
"We don't feel you can do both in this county," Couch told the commissioners. "It's just too small."
Hardy said certified organic seeds grown in the Rogue Valley are sold all over the country through various cooperatives. Since the U.S. Department of Agriculture deregulated sugar beets genetically modified to withstand the weed killer Roundup last July, they can be planted anywhere, and are grown all over the Rogue Valley, including a location across the road from his farm.
"We're pretty much surrounded here," he said.
Jackson County Farm Bureau President Ron Bjork said he thinks most farmers in the county believe in coexistence and would oppose an outright ban.
"This ballot measure they have, as far as I'm concerned, they should be talking about coexistence with the other farmers, and not trying to separate everybody," he said. "We believe in coexistence, the county Farm Bureau does."
Comnes said the owners of 90 farms, 230 businesses and four granges in the area have signed a statement in support of the ban.
Organic seed producer Chuck Burr of Ashland said he had to destroy his chard seed crop after learning that genetically engineered sugar beets were growing near enough to have cross-pollinated with his chard.
"I can't legally sell a seed I cannot guarantee would grow true to type," he said. "I have an absolute right to conduct commerce on my farm in my county where I live."
Mail Tribune reporter Ryan Pfeil and Associated Press writer Jeff Barnard contributed to this report.

Review: Auchentoshan Three Wood Single Malt Whisky
Posted by Arctic Wolf on May 31, 2012
The Auchentoshan Distillery is somewhat of an anomaly amongst Scottish Distillers. It is the only Scottish Distillery that triple distills their entire core range of whisky. Triple distillation is common amongst Irish distillers, but very uncommon for a distillery producing Single Malt Whisky. The result of the triple distillation is a more laid back easy-going style of whisky which perhaps carries more floral elements, but which also may be a little less robust in character than traditional single malts.
The Auchentoshan Three Wood Single Malt Whisky is a recent addition to that core range of Auchentoshan Single Malts. It is (of course) a triple distilled whisky which has been matured in three different styles of Oak. These are in order: American Bourbon, Spanish Oloroso Sherry, and Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks. This unique aging process leads to a complex whisky with flavours from each style of oak imprinted upon the whisky. I recently received a sample bottle of the Auchentoshan Three Wood from the Regional Manager of Shiralli Agencies who are the local importer and distributor of Morrison Bowmore products. (The Auchentoshan Distillery and its brands are owned by Morrison Bowmore.)
Here is an excerpt from my review:
"… The whisky is rich with the aroma of oak which has firm stains of the sherry cask influence (dates, raisins and prunes), as well as some sweet toffee (brown sugar, vanilla and butterscotch) overtones. As the glass breathes, I sense a bit of a woodland aroma with scents of elderberry and willow thicket rising into the breezes with perhaps a bit of heather as well. Fruity tones are growing which remind me of blackberries and saskatoons …"

Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt open to extending Chiefs' stay in St. Joseph, North Dakota State University is the unanimous pick to repeat as Missouri Valley Football Conference champion, and Kansas State's Willie the Wildcat and the Kansas City Royals' Slugger are among the team mascots headed to Topeka boot camp.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt says he's pleased with setup of training camp at Missouri Western State University and would be in favor of extending the team's stay beyond next season.
The Chiefs are in the fourth year of a five-year deal to stage training camp in St. Joseph, Mo., about a 90-minute drive north from Arrowhead Stadium.
Many teams have eschewed going away for camp as they build gleaming new practice digs, but Hunt said he appreciates the camaraderie that is built through players living in dorms.
Hunt said it would be possible to have camp in Kansas City, but there would be hurdles to overcome. Dining facilities are limited and there's less room for fans.
Hunt said the Chiefs will evaluate their future in St. Joseph after this year.
NDSU is unanimous pick to repeat as MVFC champion
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota State University is the unanimous pick to repeat as Missouri Valley Football Conference champion.
The Bison got all 39 first-place votes in the preseason poll of league coaches, media and sports information directors. NDSU has won back-to-back Football Championship Subdivision titles.
NDSU is followed in the poll by South Dakota State, Northern Iowa, Illinois State and Youngstown State.
The bottom five, in order, are Indiana State, Southern Illinois, Missouri State, Western Illinois and South Dakota.
Team mascots head to Topeka boot camp
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State's Willie the Wildcat and the Kansas City Royals' Slugger are among the team mascots spending the week training to pump up crowds.
Mascot Boot Camp runs Monday through Wednesday at Washburn University in Topeka. Other mascots participating include Washburn's Ichabod and "Mac" of the Central Hockey League's Missouri Mavericks.
The camp's leader is David Raymond, who spent more than 16 years as the Phillie Phanatic, the mascot of the Philadelphia Phillies. He's now the owner of Raymond Entertainment Group and the self-styled "emperor of fun and games."
Boot camp participants will learn about costume management and care, physical demands, business management and logistics. But a Washburn University news release says the top item on the agenda is the "art of working a crowd."

Rated 5 out of 5 by JLaney from A must have! I first ordered this in black online, and as soon as it arrived, I immediately tried it on and fell in LOVE. It felt a little awkward at first snapping it together at the crotch since it is a bodysuit. You'll get over that soon enough and won't even be able to tell you have something similar to a onesie on. This top is form fitting and the material is very stretchy. It looks amazing with a skirt (I wore a peplum skirt with it) or a pair of skinny jeans. As soon as I saw red was available I ordered it as well. I just received the red one in the mail the other day and I am excited to wear it. It too looks very sexy on!

Coldwater tops Sturgis
The Coldwater Cardinals proved to be stronger in the upper weights against longtime rival Sturgis on Wednesday night.
Coldwater took a 42-31 win to put themselves in third in SMAC East competition on the season with a 5-2 mark.
The night started at the 119 pound class, where Coldwater's Mohamed Aljabaly took a 5-1 decision over Trojan Dakota Smith to give the Cardinals the early edge.
At 125, Josh Powers pinned Noah Gleason to make it a 9-0 score.
Sturgis found the scoreboard at the 130 pound class, as Ricardo Soto had little trouble against Coldwater's Randall Linton.
Soto scored an 11-1 major decision. At 135, Holden Chesher pinned Austin Smith in 3:06 to widen Coldwater's lead to 15-6.
Coldwater's run continued into the 140 pound class, as Nooh Aljabaly took a 20-17 win over Zach
Mathews to make it an 18-4 score. Sturgis started a small run of their own with a pin at 145 pounds, as Anthony Neal put Chris VandenHout down in 1:48 to cut the deficit to 18-10.
At 152, Daylan Bowser won by a disqualification on Coldwater's Yousif Aljabaly, for allegedly biting Bowser.
The disqualification made it an 18-16 match. At 160, Will Fry gave Sturgis their only lead of the night, with a 6-2 decision over Randy Brown to make it 19-18.
Coldwater got pins in the next three classes, as Austin Siegel put down Cole Cambell in 4:36 at 171; Kelly Anzaldua put down Juan Espinoza in 1:57 at 189 pounds; and Kegan Brown pinned Jake Stevens in :28 seconds and 215.
At 285, Trojan Cole DeHaese got a void and Alejandro Soto got a void at 112. Coldwater's Louden Tucker got a void at 103.
For Sturgis, it was the high weight classes that proved to be the difference.
"That's what really did it," said Sturgis coach Bryan Boughton. "Those guys are stout up there. They (Coldwater) wanted it pretty hard tonight."
Sturgis is 22-13 overall and 4-3 in the SMAC East. The Trojans are at Lakewood on Saturday.
Coldwater is 14-22 overall and finished 5-2 in SMAC East Division competition, good for third place.

Two teenage boys and an older man have been arrested after three people were stabbed during a late night brawl on a bus.
Two boys aged 13 and 14, along with a 24-year-old local man, have been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, following the incident on a night bus full of students in the early hours of this morning.
Police and emergency services were called to the scene at the bottom of Church Street, outside the gate entrance to Pavilion Gardens at around 5.44am.
A 24-year-old man found lying on the pavement next to the bus with a stab wound to his wrist, was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital for treatment.
Two teenage boys found running away from the scene were also arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. The 14-year-old remains in hospital for treatment to stab wounds to one of his legs.
Police have been searching in the Sevendials area of Brighton with a helicopter for another 14-year-old boy who also has a stab wound to his leg.
The area at the bottom of Church Street was cordoned off for several hours whilst forensic examinations were carried out.
Detective Inspector Lee Horner from Brighton and Hove CID said: "This was a shocking incident on a bus full of students on their way back to Brighton University after a night out in the city.
"Several arrests have been made and we are currently trying to establish the exact circumstances that led up to the fight on the bus. I would appeal to anyone who knows where the outstanding 14-year-old boy is to please get in touch as a matter of urgency as he needs medical treatment for his injuries.
"You can call 101 quoting serial 0285 of 8/12 or leave a message anonymously with the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

Most week nights Hubby and I retreat to the living room after dinner to enjoy some quality time together watching TV.
Most week nights Hubby and I retreat to the living room after dinner to enjoy some quality time together watching TV.
Now the eternal question… who chooses what to watch? Who claims the remote of power? According to Hubby, the Twins baseball season demands attention. As does UFC, WWF, NFL and the duck boys on Duck Dynasty. Some nights they all demand attention at the same time.
That's Hubby's perspective–not mine.
Those nights when there are so many options for Hubby, we are lucky if the channel stays put for at least 30 seconds at a time.
He knows I'm getting ready to abandon our "quality time" when I give my warning: "Pick a channel please."
To which he normally replies: "I'm just checking the score."
This time of year is also when many TV series start to kick off new seasons.
So, we battle.
Recent night when the Twins played:
"We don't have to watch baseball tonight, honey," Hubby said as he changes the channel to the Twins with a smirk.
I simply gave him the "look" to let him know I didn't appreciate his humor and the channel went back to what we were previously watching.
To save our marriage we have both made compromises with regard to the remote.
He's not allowed to watch sports when WE are spending "quality time" together. If he wants to forfeit his quality time he has to retreat to a room with a different TV.
The same rule applies for me. If I want to watch "Dance Moms," "Toddlers and Tiaras" or any other "girly" reality show, I must also forfeit the quality time.
The rules for the living room TV remote are simple: We watch shows we can both agree upon and Hubby can have full control of the remote.
The story changes, however, in the bedroom. That's where I take control–of the remote, I mean.
Most week nights Hubby and I retreat to the bedroom around 9 p.m. I watch an hour of television before falling asleep, whereas Hubby can barely kiss me goodnight before he's sawing logs.
Once in a great while, and I do mean a long time, I will be tired enough to beat Hubby to bed. Even then the rule of the remote in the bedroom applies.
Once he stole the remote from my clutches while I was sleeping only to be awoken in the middle of the night by me stripping the bed and throwing pillows against the wall in an attempt to find the missing remote. Which, I might add, was later found on the kitchen counter.
I call that irresponsible remote ownership and his control was revoked.
Last night he rolled over to kiss me good night and rolled on the remote and shut the TV off. After a moment of stunned silence from both of us the TV clicked back on. Once the room was bright again I went about finding a better place for the remote.
"Wish I got as much attention as that remote does," Hubby grumbled.
"If you acted more like the remote you would get more attention. Until then, sue me."

Students in Janet Cantrell's third grade class at South Elementary School had a new addition to their classroom when they returned from winter break on Thursday.
Students in Janet Cantrell's third grade class at South Elementary School had a new addition to their classroom when they returned from winter break on Thursday.
The students began lessons using Apple iPads Thursday morning, the first time they've got to utilize them since the district provided iPad carts at elementary schools district wide.
"The teachers all got iPads at the beginning of the year so they could start to be familiar, then we got the iPad carts sometime at the end of November," said South Elementary principal Lee Woodward.
She said the teachers underwent training before the break on how to implement the iPads into classroom instruction.
"It really helps to engage the kids and we live in such a technology time that they're so used to having it at their fingertips, that it just makes it really nice for them to have that to apply in the classroom," Woodward said. "But, they don't all have it at home so they may not be exposed to it. This is a really neat way for them to become comfortable with technology."
Cantrell began Thursday morning's lesson by allowing the students to practice handwriting on her school-issued iPad, while the iPad screen was mirrored on a larger projection screen.
After everyone had their turn, Cantrell passed out an iPad to each student, for what would be their first day of learning with the new technology.
The students' excitement was evident, as one young girl exclaimed, "we don't need a pencil anymore!"
Scott Harris, technology director for the Neosho R-5 School District, said the district began using iPads at the elementary level in the 2011-2012 school year at Goodman Elementary School. The school had a cart of iPads shared by the different classrooms to incorporate into daily lessons.
Harris said the iPad program was piloted at Goodman, before being expanded to all elementary schools last fall.
"We had a lot of success with that at Goodman," Harris said.
"We've gotten excellent feedback from the teachers."
Now, Harris said the district is in the process of expanding the iPad use to the middle school and is looking into implementing netbooks at the secondary level, as well as increasing the number of carts of iPads at the elementary schools.
"Education is having to deal with the fact that these kids are living in a digital age and that's what they're used to," Harris said. "It's basically just getting the kids engaged more."
Harris said the Neosho school district is one of the first schools in Southwest Missouri to implement the iPad program, though added technology in the classroom is becoming a requirement.
"This is all tied into the common core assessment, it requires us to infuse technology into the classroom," Harris said.
He said there are a total of 180 iPads that fill six carts in the elementary schools, in addition to the iPads each teacher in the elementary schools and middle school have been assigned.
"That's an initiative that we're starting from the elementary up," Harris said of the iPad program. "In talking with our folks at Apple, we felt like that was the best place to start because the apps were geared toward elementary kids."
Woodward said there are several apps that can be incorporated into the elementary classroom, some that help with handwriting, while others help with students' math skills. She said she expects the iPads to be a helpful addition to the classrooms.
"It's just another way to excite them about learning," she said.
Harris said though it may not happen in the immediate future, the school district plans to one day pursue a one-to-one initiative, meaning each student would have some form of technology, possibly an iPad, a netbook, or a laptop, that they could check out at the beginning of the year and take home to use throughout the school year.
Harris said he has already spoken with incoming superintendent Dan Decker about pursuing the initiative.
In a previous interview, in which Decker spoke with the Daily News about his new position, he said he plans to pursue the one-to-one initiative.
"It is imminent, it is definitely in our future," Harris said.

Moyers & Company "Elections for Sale" One of the reasons Moyers & Company frequently returns to the theme of money and politics is because it's absolutely necessary to do so.

And far from being a regulator of campaign finances, our political funding laws -- aided by a corporate-friendly Supreme Court and self-interested politicians -- only facilitate the process of empowering the few while subjugating the many.

At least two individuals were working during their birthday celebrations Saturday in Leavenworth.
At least two individuals were working during their birthday celebrations Saturday in Leavenworth.
One was Harry Mohan, who turned 90 years old Saturday but worked the gates as a volunteer for the C.W. Parker Carousel Museum. The other was the 1913 Parker Carry-Us-All No. 118 that is the central piece ― and an interactive one ― of the museum's collection.
Plenty of others joined in Saturday's celebration of the estimated 100th anniversary of No. 118's manufacture, along with Mohan's birthday, the April 30 birthday of carnival magnate and one-time Leavenworth resident Charles Wallace Parker and the eighth birthday of the Parker Museum.
Unveiling one of two new carvings ― a carousel horse that will serve as a backup on the No. 118 should any of the other animals need repairs ― Museum Director Jerry Reinhardt pointed to the specially-carved logos for the cities of Leavenworth and Lansing, Fort Leavenworth and the museum. It's no mistake that those logos ended up together on the new horse.
"What we hopefully are is a combining force for this community," he said.
The celebration Saturday included many aspects likely found in the carnivals of Parker's heyday ― clowns, food, games and a "freak show." At the center of it was the carousel itself, constructed here a century ago at Parker's factory on Fourth Street and shipped to Iowa's Fred Shew, a farmer moonlighting as a carnival promoter, or perhaps the other way around. A line quickly formed at 11 a.m. for free rides on the No. 118, which is said to be unique in Parker's inventory for the inclusion of two jackrabbits.
It took eight years and countless hours of volunteer labor to restore the No. 118 to its current condition.
Proclamations from Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, Leavenworth County Commission Chairman Bob Holland and Leavenworth City Commissioner Davis Moulden marked the occasion and recognized both Parker and the carousel's significance to Kansas history. Having been scooped by the two previous speakers on his proclamation, Moulden went off-script to praise the work of the 60 or more volunteers that help with the museum.
"This thing here is nothing short of a miracle," he said. "I've said we ought to let the carousel people run the city. Because they get things done."

I read Rick Devore's Nov. 14 letter to the editor, "Proven wrong again." That is an extremely apt headline given the fact that Devore's facts are significantly wrong.
Listed below are the dates, presidencies and cumulative amounts of the national debt compiled for the United States:
1976, Gerald Ford, $653 billion
1980, Jimmy Carter, $930 billion
1988, Ronald Reagan, $2.7 trillion
1992, George H.W. Bush, $4.2 trillion
2000, Bill Clinton, $5.7 trillion
2008, George W. Bush, $10.7 trillion
2012, Barack Obama, $16.5 trillion
As observed from the above, one can compute that the George W. Bush increase to the current national debt is 31 percent, not 67 percent, as stated in Devore's letter. And, moreover, Obama's contribution to the same debt figure is 36 percent.
Also, it must be noted that the Obama contribution to the cumulative deficits are greater than all of the cumulative deficits amassed from 1935 until 2009, when George W. Bush left office.
Devore misses the entire point. Our government, historically, has spent and is spending more than it takes in. One trillion seconds equals 31,710 years.
The political parties running America for the past 77 years do not deserve the privilege of managing our country any longer. They do not have the statesmanship or the accounting skills to run a popsicle stand, let alone an entity as complex as the United States economy.
Spending more than what the county has in receipts is a lethal concept and will lead to the destruction of the free America.
Maybe if more people like Devore could begin to alter their opinions, we could save the U.S.A.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Solstice from Lady Like IN Lace I love this dress because it is a super sexy show stopper. The popular body con style is complemented by it's ladylike touch of lace. The quality of the lace is soft to your skin and stretches to soften around your curves. The bandage of this dress has a sturdy, smooth, and shiny feel. The mid section is unbelievably tight and holds you close in all the right places. The side zip makes it easy to slip in and out of. This item was true to size and even felt a little small. The torso on the lace, fits long. Therefore, if you are petite, the lace portion may need to be altered. On a few occasions, I was grateful that bebe never stops short on finishes and the cami underneath was pretty enough to show.

I ordered an XL because I was reading all the reviews about it being too small. I am 5'7 and weigh 175. I usually wear a med/large... I probably would have went with a medium on this dress

Rated 5 out of 5 by TallNThin from Perfect in lace I have to update my review on this dress - I tried it on two years ago in the pink/coral combo and could barely get the size M up over my hips (5'9" 120 lbs 34-26-35), and I believe they've updated the material because the rose smoke color fits me like a glove! I had a baby six weeks ago, so my current measurements are 34-27.5-36.5 and I got a size S. I can't wait to wear it out on a date night with my hubby!

Rated 5 out of 5 by steph20 from In love with this dress I have never left a review on a website for any article of clothing in my life but I just received this dress in the mail and was so happy with it that I couldn't let that go unspoken! I was pretty nervous that this dress wouldn't fit correctly because I'm not a size 0.. I have 34DD chest 5'2 around 135lbs. I was worried a medium would be too small, especially in the chest area but I was wrong. It honestly fits like a glove and makes me feel about 10lbs slimmer thanks to the fabric. If you're on the fence because of fit issues, its definitely worth a try.

Nyjah Huston qualified first today here in Ontario, California, and to be honest, he looks absolutely unbeatable. From nollie backside noseblunt-slides on the bump to bar, to a kickflip backside tailslide down the big hubba first go—if he keeps up that consistency, first place will be his again. Qualifying in second was Sean Malto with his usual grace and style. Third place qualifier was P-Rod with an overall score of 35.5 and a beaut of a switch back tail on the big hubba. Rounding out the qualifying spots were, Luan Olveira and Chaz Ortiz, and first time finalist Peter Ramondetta. Check out the video.
Finals set to air LIVE on ESPN2 Saturday, June 16 at 9:30 p.m. ET

The number of golf rounds played at courses in New Jersey spiked in August, thanks to good weather and what operators say is an improving economy for players.
Golf rounds at more than 65 facilities statewide were up 17 percent from August 2011, according to new data from the PGA of America. The uptick blows out the national increase of 0.5 percent, which is based on responses from some 3,000 facilities.
The surge was felt at many of the 18 courses in the Greater Atlantic City Golf Association, said Tom Sullivan, the group's president and general manager at McCullough's Emerald Golf Links, in Egg Harbor. He said favorable weather played a key part, but was not the only reason.
"It's always going to be a big factor when you're talking about outdoor sports, but what I'm also seeing is people are a little more willing to spend more money per transaction," Sullivan said. "So I'm sensing that people's wallets are opening up a little more."
The positive news comes about three weeks after the association was awarded $250,000 by the state to help market the region's golf courses, part of the broader effort to help revitalize Atlantic City's tourism economy. The funding, from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, is more than three times what the association spent on marketing in 2010.
Figures prepared by the association show that its 2010 marketing dollars led to 21,000 package vacation golf rounds and $7 million in economic activity. In Ocean City, Md., Atlantic City's nearest competition, $600,000 in marketing funds generated 140,000 rounds and $46 million in activity.
Sullivan said the association is now vetting media outlets and trade shows as it prepares to put the marketing dollars to work in 2013. The campaign will largely target groups of "golf vacationers" who "decide they want to go to an area and basically stay two nights at a hotel, enjoy the town during the evening and play anywhere from 18 to 36 holes during the day."
The outlook for 2013 for the state's golfing industry already is positive, said Jeff LeFevre, director of golf at Linwood Country Club. Over the past two months he has found golfers are starting to plan ahead to return to the links, and he expects membership to rise about 10 percent to 12 percent next year.
He attributed the "surprising but very positive" trend to the fact that players are "reprioritizing" after choosing to cut out the pastime when the economy worsened.
"Golf was a huge priority in people's lives," LeFevre said. "When the recession hit, everybody kind of cut wherever they thought they could cut, and now they're going to realize how much they've missed their golf."

HP CEO's decision to cut the company up has the Board reportedly considering a pink slip for their chief.
It must seem like déjà vu all over again for embattled Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ) CEO Léo Apotheker. According to Bloomberg, HP's board is considering parting ways with Mr. Apotheker only 11 months after they brought the German onboard.
I. A Troubled Past
Just over a year ago, he sat before the board at German software maker SAP AG, who were contemplating essentially firing him from that company's CEO spot. At SAP, Mr. Apotheker lasted only 10 months. During that time he steered SAP into its first loss in seven years, faced backlash for failed price increase attempts during the recession, clashed with unions, and allegedly oversaw the theft of intellectual property from Oracle Corp. (ORCL) that cost SAP $1.3B USD in damages.
In the end SAP opted to move ahead with the plan to get rid of the troubled leader, declining to renew Mr. Apotheker's contract and seeking a replacement. Mr. Apotheker was forced to resign. Soon after he packed his bags and head to a new home in California, and a new job as CEO of the world's largest computer maker, HP.
Mr. Apotheker seemed an odd fit for HP, having had virtually no consumer hardware experience -- HP's biggest business segment in terms of unit sales. The move seemed odder still, given his recent termination from SAP and lack of familiarity with the American business market.
II. Apotheker Looks To Cut Up HP
But for better or worse HP hired Mr. Apotheker to replace the departing Mark Hurd, who despite performing brilliantly from a business standpoint had been terminated by the board for sexual harassment accusations from a former contractor.
For the first several months of his tenure Mr. Apotheker was remarkably quiet, though he slashed sales outlooks twice between November and June. Then in August he dropped a bombshell, revealing that he was killing HP's first modern tablet the company's smartphone lineup, which it purchased from Palm, Inc. Even more dumbfounding, he announced HP's intention to spin off its core PC business, which had long driven the image and sales.
Under his plan HP would essentially become SAP 2.0, focusing on the company's higher margin server and business software business. To assist that goal, HP bid $10.3B USD on British software giant Autonomy, Corp. Plc. (LON:AU). Many experts consider that bid several times what the company was really worth, and expressed astonishment that Mr. Apotheker's new firm would overpay that much.
The wild moves plunged share prices deeply downward, to the point where they're currently 47 percent lower than when Mr. Apotheker assumed his position. It didn't help matters that HP cut its outlook yet again.
III. Fired Again? End of the Line May be Near
For many, Mr. Apotheker's approach to restructuring HP was seeming increasingly like the old comment by the wife of the former General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, that Gorbachev went about reforms like removing rotting leaves off of a cabbage and that by the time he was done, nothing was left.
Indeed some investors were wondering what would be left if Mr. Apotheker was allowed to transform HP from a consumer products maker into a would-be competitor to Oracle and International Business Machines, Inc.
A former HP chairman remarked that HP was working to commit "corporate suicide".
Soon the shareholders had enough. A group of shareholder recently filed suit against HP for Mr. Apotheker's wild moves, claiming he defrauded investors by failing to disclose his risky plans.
The report that HP is considering Mr. Apotheker's dismissal closely files the news of that lawsuit, which was filed late last week. Reportedly, the board is considering offering the CEO position to former eBay, Inc. (EBAY) chief Megan Whitman on an interim, or even potentially long-term basis.
Ms. Whitman brings a decade of leadership as the CEO of the top internet auction site. Under her leadership the company successfully went public and grew small business sales. The company did reportedly overpay for Skype Technologies SA after getting in a bidding war with Google Inc. and Yahoo! Inc., which led to criticism. However, eBay did end up turning a profit on the purchase, when Microsoft decided to pay even more for Skype, boosting the return on eBay's remaining stake. Otherwise the only real blemish on Ms. Whitman's record is her failure to reduce revenue declines at eBay.
Ms. Whitman has diverse executive experience, having worked at The Walt Disney Company (DIS), Dreamworks, The Procter & Gamble Comp. (PG), and Hasbro, Inc. In January she joined HP's board after failing in her bid to become the governor of California.
At this point many investors simply say anyone would be better than Mr. Apotheker. News of the potential leadership change has sent shares of HP stock soaring 9 percent today on the New York Stock Exchange.
If Mr. Apotheker departs, there's a strong possibility that he'll take with him the plans of the spinoff. A webOS revival could even be in store, though that may be unlikely given recent layoffs.

The 2012 edition of the Dodge City Daily Globe calendar is included in
today's paper.
The 2012 edition of the Dodge City Daily Globe calendar is included in today's paper. The calendar features photographs of Dodge City from the Claude Hetzel collection at the Kansas Heritage Center. Claude Hetzel ran a photography studio in Dodge City from the mid-1940s until 1968 when he died. The studio was in the Hetzel family home on West Trail Street, but Hetzel's lens captured the entire spectrum of life in Dodge City. When Hetzel's wife died in 1978, their daughter, Jean Hetzel (Krisle) Blasi, inherited a large collection of her father's photographs. Blasi, who now lives in east Texas, wanted the photographs to be cared for and appreciated, so she contacted the Dodge City Convention and Visitor Bureau (CVB) and offered to donate the collection to the city. Jan Stevens, director of the CVB, contacted Barb Vincent, director of the Kansas Heritage Center, and soon the photos were in Dodge City, being sorted, identified, numbered and archived for future research. The photos record people and places in and around Dodge City but they were not identified in any way. The Heritage Center is in the process of cataloguing and identifying the photos. "My mom and dad were incredible people," Blasi told the Globe in a phone interview Thursday. "When there was a blizzard or severe storm or other disaster, dad grabbed his camera, but while he was out there taking photographs, he was also helping people. He would bring stranded people home and mother would feed them. They had such big hearts." Her father was the official photographer for Glenn Cooper's drive-in theater, recording the Dodge City visits of many movie and western stars. "Dad also made friends with the owners of all the carnivals and circuses that came to town every year and became their official photographer as well," Blasi said. Hetzel also loved getting involved with the political candidates and their campaigns. "But I think dad's extreme gift was outdoor photography," Blasi said. "In fact, he was once flown to Hollywood to shoot photographs of a movie setting, because word had gotten around about the quality of his work." Blasi, whose great-grandparents pioneered in early day Dodge City, has fond memories of her father's studio. The collection includes nearly 1,000 photographs and Kansas Heritage Center staff worked with Daily Globe staff to choose images for the calendar. If you'd like another copy for someone, you may pick one up free of charge at the Globe office (705 N. Second Ave.) while supplies last. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Dodge City Daily Globe.

"Politics is such a torment that I advise everyone I love not to mix with it," so said Thomas Jefferson.
To the Editor:
"Politics is such a torment that I advise everyone I love not to mix with it," so said Thomas Jefferson.
The recent debate over the Anderson County sheriff's budget has certainly been contentious and tormenting. I could join the list of debating needs, wants, desires and laws, but for me it is very simple, the Anderson County Commission passed a budget and the sheriff asked for more. Our county mayor, justifiably so, refused to exceed the power of her office.
But this isn't the reason I write this letter today. The reason I write is the abhorrent manner in which our county commissioners have handled this issue. As many of the commissioners know, I attend our meetings regularly. This is often at the expense of personal, business and family matters, but I feel as a concerned citizen it is my civic duty to do so. One thing has become readily apparent to me from my seat on the benches of the Commission Room, this group of officials, save a few, show no respect for Mayor (Terry) Frank, the office of county mayor, or the citizens who elected her.
As I watched acting Commission Chair Robin Biloski, Commissioner Harry "Whitey" Hitchcock, Commissioner Tracy Wandell, Commissioner Steve Mead and others continually assault Mayor Frank and refuse her an opportunity to respond to their attacks as they were levied I became incensed at their behavior. The continual assertion from commissioners that this debate is about "two people butting heads" is false. The mayor is entitled only to sign what Commission has approved, so the cries for the mayor to "go out in the hall and sort it out" are absurd. The mayor does not hold the power to draft Sheriff White's Salary Agreement for him, nor does she hold the power to appropriate millions of dollars without Commission's approval. How was she to "work it out?"
What is also clear to me is that the commissioners lacked the gumption to call the sheriff forward for a grilling and shout, moan and pound their fist at. This seems strange, given that the sheriff is both the one who defied their appropriation levels and sued the county mayor when his requests were spurned. Why was the vitriol reserved for Mayor Frank, who was defending the decision of County Commission? I'm not sure if it is simply politics at play, the fact the sheriff carries a gun or simply that the sheriff is a man and the mayor is a woman, but in the end their behavior is not lost on me.
In the end, only two men, Commissioner Dusty Irwin and Commissioner Rick Meredith, passed on the opportunity the skewer the mayor and address the real issues at hand, and for that they have my respect. Meredith correctly pointed out that, as imperfect as it may be, that this is the process and that short of the Tennessee State Legislature changing laws, was unavoidable.
Commissioner Irwin went a step further, acknowledging that it was indeed Sheriff White who brought the lawsuit despite standing before Commission during the budget process and affirming that the amount of money appropriated was sufficient. He likewise noted the detestable nature of the political assault upon Mayor Frank for merely defending the Commission's funding decisions.
It is time for our commissioners to own their own funding decisions and defend them, for should the lawsuit bare out that the Sheriff is indeed entitled to more monies, it will be the County Commission that will be tasked with finding the revenues, be it through tax hikes or budget cuts to other departments. The continued personal attacks upon Mayor Frank do nothing to solve the problem, but only add to the citizens' disgust with their behavior.
