Training, music, 'Les Miserables' set for weekend
By ANGIE HAFLICH
By ANGIE HAFLICH
The weekend's events include a fire training school, a 'Holiday Extravaganza,' some music, a couple of encore performances, a leadership conference, bierocks sales, an auction and supper, an open house and a walk to raise awareness about suicide.
The Holcomb Community Fire Department will be hosting firefighters from across the state for a fire training school through the Kansas State Firefighters Association Saturday and Sunday at Holcomb High School.
"It's state of the art training, not just for volunteers. We expect all of Garden City's firefighters to be there, and we've received confirmation from several of the smaller surrounding towns that they'll be there," said Bill Knight, Holcomb fire chief. "This is really world-class training for out west here. It's offered quite often in the eastern part of the state and the major cities, but very seldom out here in small towns."
Knight estimates anywhere from 125 to 200 firefighters from fire departments around the state will attend the fire school.
Training will include classroom and hands-on training in defensive driving, responding to railway emergencies, wild land fires, oil tank battery fires and grain elevator fires. There also will be a live burn trailer and a new Kansas University fire skills trailer on hand.

Initiating Contraception After Emergency Contraception From Pharmacy
Recruitment status was Recruiting

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Pharmacists do not provide immediate contraception to women after emergency contraception (EC); they can only give advice on local contraceptive services.
We wish to establish the following 2 pharmacy- based interventions in NHS Lothian, designed to increase uptake of effective contraception as soon as possible, after EC
- Pharmacists would provide one packet of progestogen-only pills, giving women one month to arrange an appointment with contraceptive services.
- Rapid access to a family planning clinic upon presentation of the empty EC packet. Women would be seen as a 'walk-in' and contraception provided.
If feasible, these interventions could reduce unintended pregnancies.
Participating pharmacies will be randomised to provide one of the interventions, or standard care (verbal/written advice on local contraceptive services).
Women requesting EC from study pharmacies will be recruited by the research nurse/doctor to participate in the study that will involve them consenting to contact by telephone 6-8 weeks after EC by the researcher, to evaluate the interventions in terms of :
(i) determine women's experiences/ views of the interventions and control. (ii) determine if women have commenced effective contraception and if not , reasons why.
A subset of 12 women will also be invited for in-depth interview to collect more detailed qualitative data on their EC experience.
We also wish to (iii) explore pharmacists views on the interventions
Data from this pilot will enable us to determine whether a larger multisite study is feasible. The aims of a larger study being to determine if either of the two interventions being tested result in an increased proportion of women using effective ongoing contraception compared to the control.
Emergency Contraception
Other: rapid access to contraceptive service
Other: one month progestogen only pill
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Pharmacy Based Interventions for Initiating Effective Contraception Following the Use of Emergency Contraception : a Feasibility Study
- self-reported uptake of effective ongoing contraception (not condoms) [ Time Frame: 6-8 weeks after EC ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- pharmacy recruitment rates [ Time Frame: 8 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- completeness (quality) of data recorded by pharmacists (numbers of women attending for EC,demographics of all attendees- age, ethnicity etc) [ Time Frame: 8 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- proportion of women who agree to participate who can be successfully contacted [ Time Frame: 8 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- qualitative outcomes : women's views on different measures to determine validity of self-reported data on contraceptive use , determined by in depth interviews. [ Time Frame: 8 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- qualitative outcomes : pharmacist's views on interventions and any study difficulties [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|April 2012
|Assigned Interventions
control (standard care)
standard verbal and written advice on contraception from pharmacy
rapid access
rapid access to family planning service
|Other: rapid access to contraceptive service
progestogen only pill
one month progestogen only pill
|Other: one month progestogen only pill
Detailed Description:
We propose to test 2 pharmacy based interventions to increase uptake of effective contraception after EC:
- Pharmacists would provide one packet of progestogen-only pills to women, so that they would have 28 days to arrange an appointment with contraceptive services to get a supply of ongoing contraception.
- Rapid access to a family planning clinic upon presentation of their empty(used) packet of EC. Women would be seen as a 'walk-in' (without appointment) and ongoing contraception discussed and provided.
These interventions would be compared with the status quo, i.e. pharmacists give verbal advice and written information on local contraceptive services where ongoing contraception can be accessed.
The interventions that we are testing are low cost i.e one packet of progestogen-only pills (£3 for most costly brand) plus additional consultation time with the pharmacist (estimated 20 mins@ £1 per minute), versus the staff consultation time in a family planning clinic. In the family planning clinic, women would be seen as a 'walk-in' and so this may not add costs, since staff are already present.These interventions could, if shown to be effective, offer huge costs savings to the NHS, by reducing the costs of unintended pregnancies (abortion, miscarriage, birth).

The 1813 Holey dollar was returned to the American
Numismatic Association's Edward C. Rochette Money Museum on Oct.
23. The Holey dollar is an 1813 Australian coin struck on a 1788
Spanish-American real piece of Charles III from Mexico City. It has
a large hole punched out of it; around the hole is an added legend
"NEW SOUTH WALES 1813" on the obverse and "FIVE SHILLINGS" on the
reverse. Australia's first domestic coin, around 350 Holey dollars
survive today.
The Spanish real was widely used by many countries as
international currency because of its uniformity and milling
characteristics. Some countries, like Australia, countersigned the
Spanish dollar so it could be used as their local currency. The
Spanish dollar remained legal tender in the U.S. until the Coinage
Act of 1857.
The ANA upgraded its security and surveillance systems following
the theft, and continues to enhance security measures. In the
coming months, the museum also will hire additional part-time staff
to catalog and photograph the ANA's museum collection and make
museum resources available online to members. "This project will
take several years, but it is intended to secure this valuable ANA
resource," said Jeff Shevlin.
The earliest known surviving ANA membership
certificate, dated July 1, 1894, has been acquired by California
real estate developer and long-time coin collector, Dwight Manley,
and donated to the ANA. Manely's donation also includes 16 other
documents and materials dating back to the early years of the
association that was founded in 1891 by Dr. George F. Heath of
Monroe, Michigan. The 1894 ANA membership certificate was
originally sent to Joseph Potichke of Massachusetts, and it reads:
"Membership No. 196. Waltham, Mass. July 1, 1894. This is to
certify, that, Mr. Joseph M. Potichke, was admitted to membership
in the American Numismatic Association on the first day of July
1894. In witness whereof we have set our hand and seal." It is
signed by then-ANA President Heath and ANA Secretary O.W. Page with
a red wax seal affixed to the paper next to their signatures.
A new display at the Edward C. Rochette Money Museum marks the
end of an era and a major milestone in the history of money. The
second-to-last Canadian cent ever produced by the Royal Canadian
Mint was donated to the ANA and is on display at the Colorado
Springs museum through 2012. Canada recently retired its one-cent
piece, 154 years after its introduction in 1858. The last Canadian
cents were struck during a May 4, 2012 ceremony. This exhibit
incorporates a two-minute video about the final day of cent
production at the Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg, along with
examples of previous Canadian cent designs, the second-to-last cent
struck and a special presentation letter from the Royal Canadian

Associated Press
---- — Three generations of the Ribble family hurried through a parking lot in suburban Detroit, eager to see the Red Wings practice when the lockout finally ended.
"I was getting nervous we weren't going to have hockey this year," said Reid Ribble, whose dad joined him, his wife and their two young sons to watch the Red Wings skate last Sunday. "I'm glad they got it figured out."
It took a while and it might end up being a costly blow to the sport. The NHL, its teams and players have work to do to win people back after the third work stoppage in less than two decades.
"We all know there's a debt there to the fans," said Chicago Blackhawks star Jonathan Toews, who took part in negotiations with the NHL.
Commissioner Gary Bettman, owners and players have said they're sorry in various ways. Teams have tried to apologize with free food, beer and tickets, along with discounted gear and access to the players. The harder work begins Saturday, when 13 games kick off a lockout-shortened season where each team has a 48-game sprint before the playoffs.
"The lockout hurt the game, so we definitely want to do everything we can do to give them a good show," Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg said.
Marc Ganis, president of Chicago-based sports business consulting firm Sportscorp Ltd., said the league is skating against a steep incline in many parts of the United States.
"It's a great sport, but it has geographic constraints," Ganis said. "In the stronger markets, such as Detroit, there is a strong, passionate fan base for the NHL. The real challenge for the league is growing its fan base, and that has been its challenge for at least three decades. The league should use this restart of the season as an opportunity to be more fan-friendly."
The league, teams and players seem to be trying to do that. Practices and scrimmages were open to the public for free and fans flocked to arenas in some cities such as Philadelphia, where 15,000 fans watched the Flyers skate.
In other markets, though, there seems to be a wait-and-see approach at play.
Columbus has sold a little more than 7,000 season tickets this year, down about 1,000 from last season, perhaps in part because star Rick Nash was traded to the New York Rangers in addition to a backlash from the lockout. The Blue Jackets offered a buy-one-get-one-free deal for their opener Monday against Detroit, a popular draw, and a sellout is expected.
The Tampa Bay Lightning offered fans free lunch if they showed up for practice Friday and those attending Boston Bruins games this month can get free grub, too. Molson Canadian will pass out beer samples at the home openers in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa and Edmonton.
Pittsburgh and Buffalo are among the teams slashing prices on merchandise as a kickback to fans. The Dallas Stars and other clubs are offering free tickets to kids, hoping to expose the sport to a younger generation in the hopes of hooking them on a game that is tough to beat in person.
Winning, of course, helps.
"If you get one good Cup run and get the people in the building, then they can see what it's like to watch live and feel that buzz and that electricity in the crowd," Stars forward Brenden Morrow said. "I don't think you find it in any other sporting event. You've just got to get them in the building."
Not everyone, of course, can afford to buy a ticket and some states don't even have a team.
That's why hockey is hoping to fare better on TV, the best source of revenue in sports.
The NHL has almost bounced back from the viewership totals it had before the last lockout, which wiped out the 2004-05 season. Boston's win in Game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup finals drew the sport's highest rating in 37 years.
Ratings were down for last year's finals with the Los Angeles Kings and New Jersey Devils despite having two teams from large markets after the first three rounds of the playoffs attracted the largest average audience since 1997.
Restarting the season now — as the NFL is winding down, college football is done and baseball is idle — might help the NHL.
"They got rid of the right games during the lockout because there isn't as much competition compared to when they usually start seasons," Ganis said. "What will be interesting to watch is whether the lack of an uprising from fans is because they expected the lockout, or because there isn't a depth of passion for the sport in this country."
2013 NHL Staff Predictions Nick Curcuru Northeast: Bruins Atlantic: Flyers Southeast Division: Capitals Central: Blackhawks Northwest: Canucks Pacific: Coyotes Eastern Conference Finals: Penguins over Bruins in 7 Western Conference Finals: Blackhawks over Coyotes in 6 Stanley Cup: Penguins over Blackhawks in 6 The Bruins come close but the Penguins stay healthy this season and use their superior talent to get Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin another Stanley Cup over a retooled and upstart Blackhawks team. Conor Walsh Northeast: Bruins Atlantic: Rangers Southeast: Capitals Central: Blues Pacific: Kings Northwest: Canucks Eastern Conference Finals: Bruins over Rangers in 7 Western Conference Finals: Blues over Canucks in 6 It's going to be a weird season all over the NHL, and the shortened regular season should benefit the teams with the most familiarity and depth. The B's and the Blues are each deep with talent with good, defensive-minded coaches in Claude Julien and Ken Hitchcock on the bench. Experience ultimately pays off. Get the duckboats ready.

CHARLOTTE — Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly said one of the things that makes veteran linebacker Jon Beason so effective is Beason's ability to communicate on the field.
Beason was talking plenty Monday night, directing traffic as he and 15 teammates served multi-course dinner at a celebrity waiter charity event at the Palm that benefited Beason's education-focused MLB Foundation.
"Anytime you put your name on something, you put everything into it," Beason said before he began serving. "For me being vocal on the field, I know helps our defense go out and everyone's on the same page. So I want to make sure everyone's on the same page here tonight."
The Panthers' starting linebacker corps was represented, as well as its top reserve. Joining Beason and Kuechly were veteran Thomas Davis and Chase Blackburn, the former New York Giants linebacker who signed with Carolina as a free agent this offseason.
The group figures to benefit from the arrival of the team's top draft picks – defensive tackles Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short, who will try to occupy blockers up front to allow the linebackers to roam more freely.
"That's what they're there for – to protect us, be a bodyguard a little bit, allow us to run free and make plays," Beason said. "We're excited about it. We know they're going to make our job easier so we should play at a high level. We have a high standard for how we should perform as a group, in terms of the linebackers."
Lotulelei and Short will join an interior rotation that includes Dwan Edwards, who re-signed with the Panthers after finishing with a career-high six sacks in 2012. Ron Edwards, the other starter at defensive tackle last season, was released during the offseason.
"Dwan played great. Ron was good. We've got guys up front," Kuechly said. "You add more guys, it just makes it that much better."
Kuechly led the league with 164 tackles and won The Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year award last season when Beason was hurt. Kuechly began the season on the outside and moved to the middle in Week 5 after Beason went down with season-ending knee and shoulder injuries.
Beason, who had three surgeries within a 17-month span, said last month he plans to return better than before injuries cost him all but five games the past two seasons. He also has conceded the middle to Kuechly, who became the first rookie to lead the league in tackles since San Francisco linebacker Patrick Willis in 2007.
Kuechly, who returned to Boston College during the offseason to resume work on his degree, said he has areas where he can improve in his second season.
"My pass coverage could use some work. And the more you know about the defense, the more you can learn the defense, the better you can be," he said. "Last year I had to learn everything from scratch. Now I have an idea of what's going on. … I can concentrate on little areas versus having to look at everything as a whole."
Meanwhile, Beason is itching to get back on the field after two injury-shortened seasons.
Beason is not expected to participate in the team's minicamp next month. But he said going through Monday's walkthrough during the first day of phase 3 of organized team activities fired him up.
"For me, it can't get here any faster. Obviously, I want to take advantage of the time that I have to get stronger and to heal up even more," Beason said. "But I'm just so anxious to get back to doing what I love. I love to play the game of football. There's nothing else I'd rather do."

Thread: My Shovel Head
My Shovel Head
Hey guys, looking for some input...I'm thinking about selling my bike, but really have no idea what to start asking. I inherited it a couple years ago, and have been trying to get it fixed/cleaned up ever since. Looking to get something newer/more reliable. All I know about it is that it's a 1976 shovelhead sitting on a 1952 frame. I've done a top a top end gasket replacement on it, and got A LOT of rust off of it. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey you can always ask and go down a bit.. But I would think between $16-20K I could be wrong They would have to be a diehard HD fan
I would say closer to $15k.
I also inherited a vehicle a few years ago. It was an 02 ZR2 Blazer. Ran like a champ with no issues. When I bought my Sierra I traded it in. To this day I kick myself in the a$$ for doing that. So I would suggest if you haven't already done this is to think hard about selling this scooter.

My Dad had a mid 70's shovel head, with the jockey shift. 7,500 original miles, untouched and he got $14,000 about 6 years ago. If you need the money then sell it, but honestly the new HD's 2004+ suck. They don't sound or ride the same, they are turning more into a luxury bike than anything. Lot's of extra add on junk for lot's of extra money, I would keep what you have honestly. They all leak oil even the new one's, yours is a nice old classic.2004 Chevy Colorado

Unfortunately resale on a bike like that is closer to $10 or $12K in running condition, theres quite a few shops turning out hardtail replacement frames.
Shovel head engines are getting harder to find but companies like S&S are manufacturing new cylinders and heads and with the availability of aftermarket transmissions like Baker 6 spds a lot of those older bikes with bad engines/trans are starting to find their way back on the streets.
I recently sold a running original condition 1976 Shovel for $9600, I felt lucky to get that price, I had the bike on the market for 9 months (so much for a quick turn-over and a little profit).
One thing you've got in your favor is it looks like you still have the kick start, a lot of those older bikes were converted to electric start, somewhere around 76 they offered both electric and kick start on the shovel heads, it was only a one or two year deal and those engines are the most desirable.
Yours looks like it has a lot of aftermarket parts like the later model wide glide front end and some chrome S&S performance parts, start at $12k and let them work you towards $10k.
Amy not all Harleys mark their spot, I have two in the garage right now that dont drop any oil, my 09 and an 04, the 04 has had new gaskets and seals but even before that at 62000 miles she wasnt marking. The secret is keep up on checking case bolt torques, running the bikes to operating temps weekly, and keeping an eye out for wet spots on the cases.

I think it really depends on the buyer in my opinion. I went through the Harley Tech program at mmi quite a few years back and with the curb appeal I think 15k aint far fetched at all. Nice looking bike though!14/88
Thanks for the input guys, I'll keep y'all updated on what happens...

CANNES, FRANCE - MAY 16: Jean Claude van Damme attends the Variety Celebrates Ashok Amritraj event held at the Martini Terraza during the 63rd Annual International Cannes Film Festival on May 16, 2010 in Cannes, France. (Photo by Christian Alminana/WireImage)
Jean Claude Van Damme, the 1980s tough guy who proved that Belgians can be bad dudes, is denying a report he suffered a minor heart attack on the set of his latest film.
"Hours ago, I read a rumor online about me suffering a heart attack," Van Damme, 50, said on his Facebook page.
"Please do not believe all what you read from rumors on any unofficial JCVD sites. Jean-Claude Van Damme is 100 percent healthy, training well for taking the fight and sending his fans and friends much love," the post added.
Van Damme was filming "Weapon" in New Orleans when the report that he was stricken came out. He was briefly admitted to a hospital then released. He is expected to make a full recovery.
Shooting for the film was previously took place in Romania before the cast and crew came to the Big Easy for three days of filming.
"Weapon," set for release next year, is about rival assassins who team up to take down a DEA-backed drug cartel.

The lights dim and the crowd roars. Wrestlers take to a stage setup that mirrors those seen in World Wrestling Entertainment. Hands slap across chests and metal poles are cracked over skulls. Ferocious fighting ensues and the crowd screams in ecstasy. Each wrestler puts his well-being on the line for the show and none of them are taller than 4-foot 5-inches.
This is the world of extreme midget wrestling and that was the scene at the Grady County Fairgrounds this weekend.
"This is my life 24/7," wrestler Little Nasty Boy said. "I've been doing this for 30 years and I still live like a rock star. I don't know anything else."
At 48, Little Nasty Boy (LNB) is the oldest wrestler in the circuit, and after all this time his love for the sport has yet to wane, even after other loves have come and gone.
"My first wife asked me to choose between this and her," he said. "You can see what I chose."
Despite the loss, LNB has managed to build a family with the other wrestlers, most of whom are in their 20s.
"I'm like a father to these guys," he said.
Earlier in the day LNB and wrestlers Bounty Hunter and Little Fabio took a trip to the Staples in Chickasha to print some promotional pictures.
LNB and Fabio were slated to duel later that night. In less than three hours the two warriors would brutalize each other's bodies for the crowd, but for now, there was serious work to be done.
"I try to teach these guys about how to live their lives well and save their money," LNB said. "We pay about $20 to get these pictures printed, but charge $5 for a print and signature. It's all about the profit margin."
With anywhere between 10 and 15 sales a night, the profit margin is certainly positive, and Bounty Hunter and Fabio agree, the knowledge they gain from LNB is incredibly valuable.
"He teaches us what we need to know to survive," Bounty Hunter said.
With a grueling seven to eight week on, one week off touring schedule, this family dynamic thrives outside of the ring, but inside is a completely different story.
"When I am in the ring, I am there for one reason. To cause midget violence," LNB said.
With that violence comes the possibility of injury, but LNB said there is no room for weakness in the ring and those who can't handle it have to get out.
"Injuries are going to happen," LNB said. "It's just part of it. You wipe the sweat away and just keep going."
Now in its third year of existence, the Extreme Midget Wrestling Federation is thriving, owner Skyler Ward said.
"I love being unique and that is what EMWF is," Ward said. "I plan on making this bigger than the Harlem Globetrotters."
Ward said the next step is moving from bars and fairgrounds to arenas, which is fine for LNB and his cohorts.
"My dad told me to do something I love," Bounty Hunter said. "I've only been here a month, but there is no question, I love it."
As for LNB, he has no plan of stopping.
"I just bought another pair of boots and my last pair lasted me 30 years, so I guess I am here for another 30 years," he said.

A Bellevue man has been sentenced to nearly 4 years in federal prison for possessing child pornography.
In August of 2007, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents executed a search warrant on John Dawson's Bellevue residence.
Investigators say that a computer at the address was used by someone who had subscribed to a child pornography website.
More than 200 images of child pornography were found in unallocated or lost files. Thirty-three of the children depicted in the images had been previously identified through previous law enforcement investigations.
John Dawson, 51, will serve 46 months in prison.
