We are Macmillan. Cancer Support
Several members of the Scotland team and colleagues from Macmillan's head office had a great time at the launch of the Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Service at Glasgow Libraries.
The service was launched at the city's flagship library by Scotland's new Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing Alex Neil, who was effusive in his praise for the service and for Macmillan.
He unfortunately couldn't stay for a piece of the amazing cake, which, with it's 3D depiction of a drop-in including mini Macmillan leaflets, was (almost) too good to eat.
Fantastic media coverage included a front page splash and double page spread in the Glasgow Evening Times
A result of a unique partnership between Macmillan and Glasgow Life, the service will mean that Glasgow is the first place in the UK where every cancer patient can get support and information in their local community.
Volunteers and community librarians will be at the heart of the groundbreaking service, which will transform the way cancer support is offered across the city. Congratulations to everyone involved.

On the surface it seems Frank Mir and Alistair Overeem couldn't be much more different as competitors. The former is a BJJ specialist with solid, ever-improving hands while the latter is a K-1 level striker who relies on submissions in a secondary sense. However, it UFC heavyweight champ Junior dos Santos plans to approach Mir the same way he would Overeem, his original opponent.
Dos Santos recently commented on the change from Overeem to Mir in a brief video for the UFC where he appeared pleased with the development, stating Mir was definitely the best candidate to replace "The Demolition Man".
And, while Dos Santos may change his training up to adjust to the differences between Overeem-Mir, he's confident the outcome will be identical regardless of who is in his way on May 26 at UFC 146.
"I have to change my camp a lot because Mir is a southpaw and a jiu-jitsu blackbelt," explained Dos Santos before adding, "But I'm a fighter and I will be looking for the knockout no matter who my opponent is."
Watch the full video below:
MMATraining Take: I don't think Dos Santos should have a problem knocking Mir out given Mir's past stumbles on that front. All of his career losses have involved a strike-based stoppage and he's never faced a guy with Dos Santos' stand-up.
[...] Now, Mir will seek the place the gold belt back around his waist again when he squares off with Junior dos Santos at the May 26 [...]
[...] the all-heavyweight main card started with Alistair Overeem being removed from the main event with Junior dos Santos. Frank Mir was then tabbed to replace Overeem and fight for the UFC heavyweight title leaving Cain [...]

A former Republican candidate for West Virginia attorney general accused of shooting another person in the leg will be arraigned April 17, after indictment issues arose out of the March 26 arraignment hearing.
Hiram Lewis was originally indicted in November on charges of malicious wounding, domestic assault and wanton endangerment involving a firearm.
Another indictment later was filed, keeping the charges of domestic assault and malicious wounding but dropping the wanton endangerment involving a firearm charge.
Lewis was arrested in June after he shot Steven Bogart in the leg. Lewis asserts the shooting was in self defense after Bogart tried to break into his home.
In his arraignment hearing, Clay County Prosecutor Jim Samples asked to exclude the lesser offense of wanton endangerment with a firearm and go with the greater charge of malicious wounding.
Judge Jack Alsop asked why the charge wasn't dismissed by motion. Samples answered he didn't want to anticipate how the court would rule on a motion to dismiss that count.
Samples said it has the same effect as a superseding indictment.
Alsop continued the hearing to allow the state to file a motion to dismiss. However, Lewis objected, saying he wanted to be tried on the first charge.
"I have a right, since we are here on the arraignment today, to dismiss and quash the indictment today," he said. "It should be dismissed because it is multiplicity."
In an interview after the hearing, Lewis expressed his frustrations.
"I want to get this over with and clear my name," he said. "It's fundamentally flawed. … We want to go to trial and clear my name and prove my innocence in front of a jury."
Lewis asserts there are two indictments and if they continue, he will have multiple charges for the same offense.
"It's not prohibited to have multiple charges, but it should be clarified and fixed at the first instance that it's brought to the court's attention. I tried to do that today. The judge saw that and ordered a continuance of the arraignment today," Lewis said, noting he thinks the prosecutor should have dismissed the first indictment.
Lewis also mentioned civil proceedings going on in Clay County Circuit Court.
Bogart filed the two-page civil action against Lewis, saying he was an invited guest to Lewis' home and Lewis "negligently and or recklessly" shot him in the knee.
As a result, the suit continues, Bogart said he suffered debilitating and permanent physical injury and is confined to a wheelchair.
Lewis subsequently filed his answer and counterclaims against Bogart, former Clay County Sheriff Randy Holcomb, the West Virginia State Police and Samples. Samples recently was dismissed as a party in the suit.
His Jan. 23 answer says he was acting in self defense.
Lewis, who is acting as his own attorney, alleges Bogart became drunk, was asked to leave the property five times, verbally assaulted and threatened the neighbor, threatened Lewis and kicked open Lewis' dead-bolted door .
Lewis said he warned Bogart that if he busted open the door, he would be shot.
In his answer and counterclaims, Lewis alleged Bogart is a homeless individual that he allowed to stay on the screen porch of his rental but he would dead-bolt the doors to the main house each night.
Lewis alleges Bogart is a carpenter and plumber who was willing to work for a place to stay. Lewis said there was plumbing that needed to be done to his home and asserts Bogart requested to set up a tent in his yard so he could work on the home.
His answer and counterclaims assert that Bogart was intoxicated and arguing with a neighbor. Lewis said he calmed him down and got him to come inside and look at the bathroom for a plumbing job.
"While looking at the bathroom, Mr. Bogart grabbed Hiram Lewis on the right bicep muscle and squeezed real hard and while holding Mr. Lewis in place proceeded to cuss at Mr. Lewis and spit in his face," Lewis alleges.
Lewis said Bogart walked out of the home, which is when Lewis locked the door. He said he later tried to leave his bedroom and found Bogart used an extension cord to secure his bedroom door to the bathroom door. However, he got out through another doorway.
Lewis alleges that when he got out of the room, Bogart raced him back to the door and tried to prevent him from going back in the house.
At this time, Lewis alleges, Bogart was threatening to kill Lewis, so Lewis got his 9 mm firearm and watched Bogart from his kitchen window.
Lewis said he started kicking at the door, which is when he alleges that he told Bogart if he did it again, he would shoot him. Lewis continues, alleging Bogart eventually kicked down the door and "charged in."
"As soon as Mr. Bogart's foot hit the kitchen linoleum, Mr. Lewis stepped to the right, aimed the 9 mm at a spot above Mr. Bogart's knee, and discharged the weapon. Mr. Bogart stopped dead in his tracks and looked down at his leg. Mr. Bogart lurched forward at Mr. Lewis and continued his threat to kill Mr. Lewis. But as he lurched forward, his leg gave out and he spun around falling onto the screen porch," Lewis alleges.
Lewis said he tried to help Bogart but continues alleging that Bogart grabbed his necklace in an attempt to choke him.
Lewis' answer and counterclaims additionally claim he was wrongly arrested and detained.
"My life is totally on hold," Lewis said after the March 26 hearing. "I'm stuck in my home. I can't practice law. … My life is just totally on hold as long as trying to prosecute me for something I shouldn't have even been arrested for in the very beginning."

CATEGORIES DVDsHere's a scary thought -- we're ending the first decade of the 21st century with two horror films that had varying degrees of success at the box office. First up is the harrowing 'Paranormal Activity,' which took in $107 million and reinvigorated shoestring budget indie filmmaking. At the other end of the spectrum is 'Jennifer's Body,' which barely made a dent with about $16 million in ticket sales. Depending on your mood -- high or low -- either film can offer a suitable way to ring in the New Year/decade. 'Paranormal Activity'
What It's About: This intense, chilling story follows a young middle-class couple that becomes increasingly disturbed by things that go bump in the night -- in their bedroom, while they sleep. Thinking they're being haunted by some sort of paranormal presence, they set up a video camera to find out what's happening and, over the course of three weeks in September and October of 2006, they run nightly surveillance and capture indelible proof of 'Paranormal Activity.'
It's Kinda Like: 'The Blair Witch Project' meets 'Poltergeist'
What We Say: Like 'Blair Witch,' 'Paranormal Activity' is presented as if it were shot cinema verite style, by the protagonists, and then found after the fact. That makes it truly scary as you're sucked into the "real" events in the "real" lives of the two characters. And, like one of our all-time scary favorites, 'The Haunting,' there's no need to see ghosts or demons to get scared to heck -- silences and the suggestion of the supernatural can go much further in instilling fear than special effects. It's all in your head.
'Jennifer's Body'
What It's About: Small-town high-school cheerleader Jennifer (Megan Fox) gets possessed by a hungry demon and transitions from being "high school evil" -- gorgeous, stuck up and ultra-attitudinal -- to the real deal: evil evil. When she begins feeding off the boys in the school, her lifelong best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried), long relegated to living in Jennifer's shadow, must step-up to protect the town's young men, including her nerdy boyfriend.
It's Kinda Like: 'The Exorcist' meets 'Heathers'
What We Say: You're either going to really, really like this or really, really hate it. Screenwriter Diablo Cody ('Juno') pulls out all the stops in trying to make this a hip, cool fable about how women's bodies are exploited by ... ah heck, what can you say about a movie with hot bod of the year Megan Fox chewing up (literally) all the boys around her. This is definitely "eye candy" for cult film worshipers.

In the wake of the Louis Freeh report and the $60 million fine, the 4-year postseason ban and loss of some scholarships, one thing remains clear: football is still more important than morals, ethics and the safety of children in a damaged collegiate athletics culture that values winning and money above all else.
Yes, the sanctions are unprecedented. Yes, they took away Joe Paterno's wins going back to '98. Yes, these penalties will damage the program more than a simple one-year "death penalty" ban would have. But no, they're still not strong enough to dissuade other "academic" officials from making the same morally repugnant decisions that bring marquee names to the field and filthy lucre into the coffers.
At least the NCAA acted swiftly, despite the handwringing of a current unnamed official who complained that the Jerry Sandusky affair falls outside its jurisdiction (sorry, buddy, not really). And, despite rumors to the contrary, the $60 million fine will go toward helping and preventing the sexual abuse of minors. A small victory, but a victory nevertheless.
What would have been better? How about shutting down the entire Penn State football program for a five-year period, instead of just banning bowl games for four? How about taking away national television privileges? And how about upping that fine to something more than the equivalent of one year of Nittany Lion football revenue?
When the scandal broke last fall, the outpouring of support for Paterno and his staff astonished me. Everyone noted his commitment to academics, as if that makes him some sort of saint – excuse me, aren't student-athletes students first?
(Paterno isn't the only coach to insist upon good grades. Just check out Mike Krzyzewski down at Duke, or the incredible, superhuman Naismith Coach of the Century, Pat Summitt, recently retired due to a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's.)
Frankly, I'm astonished that any parent would allow a child to attend PSU this coming fall, given the clearly pervasive football-first culture at the school. Even today, one whiny Penn State fan lamented the tearing down of the JoePa statue and the record adjustment, noting that "one bad decision" shouldn't alter a lifetime of good deeds.
Give me a break.
As for the current players, the N.C.A.A. ruled that they could transfer out, subject to certain eligibility rules. And while academic officials are publicly clucking and shaking their heads at the whole affair, the New York Times reported that their football coaches are studying the current PSU roster for players they can woo to their own programs.
Yuck. Legitimate, but yuck.
On the plus side, one has to give credit to Penn State for two things. First, its own Board of Directors hired Freeh to conduct the investigation, and it agreed with the report's findings. Two, it accepted the N.C.A.A. sanctions without complaint.
Penn State now has a real opportunity to be a leader where it matters most, and that's not on the football field. It must demonstrate to the community that the members of its football team are not more equal than others. It must reestablish itself as an institution where learning comes first. It must recruit coaches, players and administrators with unassailable characters and the records of achievement to back it up.
Perhaps it should heed the words of its own motto, and it should make life better for not just some, but for all.

A coalition of national and Chicago-area women's groups including the National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence, Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation, Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault, Rape Victims Advocates, YWCA Metropolitan Chicago, Between Friends, Chicago Metropolitan Battered Women's Network, and Mujeres Latinas en Acción, along with seven clergy leaders from the Chicagoland area, the 8th Day Center for Justice, 20 professors and staff from seven Chicagoland area universities, and labor union Unite Here has released a letter demanding that Quinton "Rampage" Jackson be pulled from Saturday's UFC on Fox 6: Johnson vs. Dodson fight card.
The full text of the letter is below.
Long-time readers will quickly recognize the name "Unite Here" -- the parent union of the Culinary Union which has been Zuffa's most-determined opponent for years now.
Anyone following the sport will not be surprised to hear that Rampage has drawn the ire of women's groups -- who could forget such classic moments as: Rampage Jackson releases 'fake rape' video, Rampage Jackson and the MMA community's attitude toward women, Karyn Bryant & Rampage Jackson & sexism in MMA and many many more.
The Culinary Union also went after the UFC for booking Jeremy Stephens on UFC on Fox 5 in Seattle despite his awaiting trial in Iowa. They've opposed the UFC's attempts to get MMA legalized in New York as well.
Conveniently the UFC has finally released its official Code of Conduct for fighters and put no less a figure than newly retired UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes in office as Vice President of Athlete Development and Government Relations to enforce it.
UFC Executive Lawrence Epstein explained at today's UFC on Fox 6 presser (transcribed by MMA Mania):
"It's really two announcements....(Hughes new job) and the second thing is the implementation of a written code of conduct for UFC athletes. As you think about these two announcements, you have to think about them as one. There's gonna be a huge connection with what Matt does and our new code of conduct. One comment on the code of conduct just to take care of that, it really isn't something that's new, just something that frankly for the first time has been put in writing. We've always felt that our athletes need to live up to a high level of conduct and make sure everything they're doing obviously both inside the Octagon and outside is in compliance with the high standards of the UFC.
"This whole situation really started frankly when we took a look at the sports landscape and looked at what all the other major sports leagues were doing like the NFL, Major League Baseball, NHL, et cetera. We also took a look at what some of the associations are doing. I think as many of you know, UFC's relationship with athletes is an independent contractor relationship. It's not like the relationship in the NFL where they're actually employees of the team. We looked at some of those organizations that had similar legal models and what we discovered was those organizations had an individual who was responsible for what they call athlete development and what we're calling athlete development also. The role of that person was first and foremost to be a mentor, to try and provide experience to hopefully keep guys out of trouble and stop guys from making mistakes that could affect both their career and could tarnish the image of mixed martial arts and the UFC."
Here's the letter:
January 24, 2013
To: FOX Network, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and UFC Sponsors
We are writing because we are outraged that the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has Quinton "Rampage" Jackson on the main card of their upcoming January 26, 2013 UFC on FOX fight at the United Center in Chicago, IL.1 Jackson is a well-known UFC fighter who has repeatedly denigrated women. Last year, he even posted an internet video in which he makes light of sexual assault by pretending to attempt to rape a woman in a parking garage.
The fighter's video is alarming in itself, but is particularly unsettling in light of the alleged New Year's Eve rape of a young woman in a parking garage by two young men who, according to court documents, all know each other from a mixed martial arts school in the Washington D.C. area known for developing top UFC fighters. (In the court documents, the victim stated that she knew both of the Defendants from the Lloyd Irvin Martial Arts Academy, where she was an employee and a current student. She also stated that she and one of the alleged rapists were previously employed as co-workers at the Lloyd Irvin Martial Arts Academy, during this time they saw each other almost daily. The Academy specializes in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, mixed martial arts, and Thai boxing; owner Lloyd Irvin has trained and taught top UFC fighters.)
Jackson also has a disturbing track record of mimicking sexual acts with female reporters during interviews As Yahoo! Sports reporter Kevin Iole wrote, "It is already difficult for women to compete on equal footing with men as sports writers and Jackson's sexual overtones simply made it worse."
Last month, the UFC allowed fighter Abel Trujillo, who has pled guilty twice to Domestic Abuse Assault Causing Bodily Injury, an aggravated misdemeanor, to fight on national television. In both cases, the victim was identified as the mother of his child. The UFC has yet to acknowledge or comment on the fighter's history.
Offensive and irresponsible behavior doesn't end with the fighters. UFC President Dana White sets a despicable tone for fighters to follow. White has used foul and abusive language, especially derogatory to women, to users on Twitter, female journalists, and even to UFC fighters.
This kind of institutional culture is unacceptable, but it becomes even more troubling knowing that Dana White has stated the following: "... I want kids watching us. [...] This is a great sport for kids."
The behavior of Rampage Jackson, UFC President Dana White, and other UFC fighters is unacceptable. Misogynistic and sexist behavior can no longer be tolerated in the UFC. The UFC and FOX need to clean up their act in 2013 by cutting Quinton "Rampage" Jackson from the January 26th fight card and adopting a meaningful code of conduct.
The timing strikes me as curious and I wonder if the UFC didn't get wind of the letter in advance.
Here's Rampage talking to MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani yesterday:

|3 years ago Zumsteinspitze was the highlight of a week's trip. But this time - after two nights at Cap. Margherita - it was only a markstone on our trip to Dufourspitze. Easy to reach from Col Gnifetti plain. The descent from Zumsteinspitze to Grenzsattel needs caution. Climbing back upwards these 120 m in the afternoon was very exhausting.

President's Message
My commitment as president is to introduce Kerry Blues to as many dog lovers as we can. Certainly through our biannual Specialties but also through our Spring Pat Fair, as well as other events like the herding trials, "meet our dogs" events, and making a day of getting Canine Good Citizen titles for all our Kerry Blues.
Nationally, Kerry Blues are increasingly proving to be invaluable as service dogs and therapy dogs. To share your Kerry Blue with those in need is both a loving thing and it shows the world the very essence of the breed we love. I'd love to see the 2013-2014 bring more therapy dog titles to our Club.
I look forward to seeing you all in the year ahead!
Dr. Douglas Keene
KBTCSC President 2013-2014

Perennial candidate Martin Lindstedt is keeping himself busy as he serves 660 days in jail for contempt of court and also remains there on $100,000 bond while awaiting a trial on a statutory sodomy charge.
On Friday, Lindstedt filed a second motion asking Presiding Judge Timothy Perigo to "alter, amend, abolish and/or reconsider his lawless and corrupt judgment to unlawfully assign Division III Newton County Juvenile Judge Kevin Lee Selby" from his case.
Lindstedt is asking that Perigo either take the case himself or assign it to Judge John LePage. Lindstedt claims that Selby has a conflict of interest in the case.
While Lindstedt has a long history of filing frivolous lawsuits and generally harassing any official in sight, an appellate court ruling last week does indicate that there may be a question of whether Judge Selby does indeed have a conflict of interest in this case.
The Missouri Southern District Court of Appeals on June 29 ruled against Roxie Fausnaught, Lindstedt's common-law wife in her effort to reverse the removal of her grandchildren from her home. The children were placed in foster care following a protective custody hearing on April 22, 2004, 13 days after the Division of Family Services made an emergency removal of them from the home shared by Lindstedt and Ms. Fausnaught. The reason for the emergency removal is the statutory sodomy charge now faced by Lindstedt.
Ms. Fausnaught's first attempt to overturn the DFS decision was rejected by Judge Selby, according to the opinion. The appellate court rejected her, saying her petition gave it no information on whether she had any right to intervene. "Nothing in the docket sheet guides us to understand the issues in the case." No transcript was included with the case, meaning the judges had no idea if there were any legitimate issues in the appeal.
It would be easy to come to the conclusion that the appeal was actually written by Lindstedt, since Ms. Fausnaught represented herself, according to court documents, and there is one reason after another listed, including some which would indicate there was a conspiracy against Ms. Fausnaught and Lindstedt.
See if you notice anything familiar about some of the reasons listed by Ms. Fausnaught in her appeal.
-"The trial court (Selby) erred before dismissing appellant's motion to intervene unlawfully as proven by his conduct in having appellant's domestic partner (Lindstedt) falsely arrested on April 15, 2004, covering up with this false arrest by means of threatening appellant with bogus and unlawful contempt of court charges, of allowing the Division III court clerks to tamper with the official records and refusing to release these records to legitimate parties to this action, and again threatening Appellant's domestic partner with false arrest and contempt of court."
That certainly sounds like the motions Lindstedt has filed in his current case and in his many past lawsuits.
Lindstedt and Ms. Fausnaught were also upset that Anne Wells had been appointed guardian ad litem in the case, claiming she had a conflict of interest since she had threatened to put Lindstedt in jail when he was creating a disturbance (my words, not his) at a hearing when Ms. Wells was serving as an appointed municipal judge.
The appeal also says Judge Selby, the Newton County Juvenile Office, juvenile officers Pat Stuart, David Jones, Candi Butts, Cathy Gorham, Bill Dobbs and caseworkers Doug Baugh, Linda Rasmussen, Rocky Macy and guardian ad litem Anne Wells "have conspired to steal Appellant's grandchildren, destroy Appellant's family and genetic future, and try to railroad Appellant's domestic partner Martin Lindstedt into prison and have him murdered in prison, for no other reason than because they like to steal and destroy the families of the poor and their political enemies for their own political agenda and self-interest."
What is most amazing about this appeal is the commendably serious manner in which the judges handled it. The opinion included a politely phrased, but clear slap at Lindstedt's ability as a (self-proclaimed) lawyer. "While Appellant includes some citations to authority, such citations are misguided and are inapplicable to her claim of error."
Obviously, Newton County officials have a problem when it comes to dealing with Lindstedt. Even if Selby were to remove himself from the case, how can you appoint someone to handle it when, according to Lindstedt, everyone is in on this conspiracy against him?

Is there really a Bill Doggs?

Not that I know of, but he does exist in the world of Missouri Southern District Court of Appeals documents, and apparently in the mind of Martin Lindstedt. If anyone knows differently, please let me know.
Bill Dobbs.

Thanks. And I owe an apology to my readers and to Martin Lindstedt. I just checked and it wasn't in the original court decision, it was a Turner typo. I will fix it immediately.

No!!!!!! It is much more!A related topic, is there any moderation of the canonrumors forum? There is so much anti-canon stuff that is allowed to proliferate and seems mainly aimed at making canon owners think they make poor decisions and should be filled with regret. Instead, this forum could be a pleasant haven for Canon users where people share, solve and support one another. All it would take is some decent moderation of the anti-Canon crap from either bitter people or blatant trolls.
As long as they don't resort to personal attacks, name calling, or profanity; they shouldn't be moderated. My job isn't to judge peoples personal opinions, they're entitled to them, and I would refuse the job if given it. As long as things are kept civil, most things will work themselves out, and most dedicated trolls will leave out of boredom or banned because of bad behavior. There are some forum members that started off with very trollish behavior and ended up becoming good helpful forum members.
Amen. Very well said, and it speaks very well of the integrity of this entire site!
A bit of humour and self-mockery never killed anyone. Let's keep it fun and light, it's just a camera after all....
(am I going overboard here? may be I should stop. but then may be not. what is a mind if you cant change it? like lenses on your dslr...)

Levy Lighting NYC added spice to Manhattan's principal site for the book launch of Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows recently as more than 7,000 people attended the "Midnight Magic Costume Party" at the Union Square Barnes & Noble, the world's largest costume party. "It was exciting to be a part of this historic book launch. The store was swarming with people—the atmosphere was exhilarating," says Ira Levy, president of Levy Lighting.
On all floors, glowing light poles added whimsical intensity and mystery befitting the book. The castle's eerie caste was achieved with strong white Pronto wireless LED lights. LED candles suspended from the ceiling set the mood for sparkling, magical fun in the wand-making area. "Short set-up time, the need for a clean installation and the lack of electrical outlets where you need them, demanded wireless lights. Pronto lights were the perfect answer," says Levy. Ice blue LED color added suspense to a special reading by Jim Dale, narrator of Harry Potter audiobooks.
The event designer at the Union Square store was Vivia Costalas of Floris Special Events with lighting by Levy Lighting NYC and audio by Scharff Weisberg.

MADISON (WXOW) -- Officials with the University of Wisconsin system told the Board of Regents it has lost an additional $1.1 million because of glitches in its new payroll and benefits system.
This comes after the UW system made $33 million in overpayments for employee health insurance premiums and pension contributions over the past two years.
Officials say they have recovered about $20 million so far.
System president Kevin Reilly warned the Regents on Thursday that more reviews by staff members, an independent analyst and the state auditor are likely to find more issues and possibly more missing money.

A Near West Side Greek Orthodox church was damaged by a fire Monday afternoon.
About 12:15 p.m. Chicago Fire Department personnel were notified of a fire at St. Basil Greek Orthodox Church, 733 S. Ashland Ave., according to Fire Media Affairs. The fire started on the second floor of the church, a Fire Media spokesman said.
Firefighters used two lines and a ladder to the roof to fight the blaze, according to Fire Media Affairs.
The CTA's No. 9 Ashland buses were temporarily rerouted in both directions around the scene of the fire because of the fire department equipment on the street. Firefighters were on the scene for about an hour. No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire was unknown as of about 3 p.m.
St. Basil Greek Orthodox Church was built in 1910 as Anshe Sholom Synagogue, according to the church's website. In 1927, after much of the congregation had moved from the immediate area, the building was transformed into a Greek Orthodox Church. It sustained what the church called a "disastrous fire" in 1977, after which it was repaired and continues to be active to this day. Lenten services had been scheduled for Monday at the church.

The Only Printables You Need for All Your Valentines (and they're FREE)
Editor's Note: Let's welcome Angela, from Joyously Domestic, to the Teal & Lime family. Angela will be contributing her amazing ideas to the "Kitchen Made Simple" series. When she sent me a sample for today's post and I laid eyes on the owl printable, I screeched with excitement. I love owls! And, when I got her full post and all the printables, I almost cried with joy. She solved Valentine's Day for me. Every year I am on the hunt for the perfect teacher gifts and the perfect non-candy, can't-be-homemade kids gifts. Well, Angela is bringing us all that and more today!
I'm so thrilled to stop by and share some fun Valentine's Day ideas with you. Not only am I showcasing a few gift suggestions, but I brought by a bunch of free printables!
NOTE: Printing works best on white cardstock paper. Simply right-click the image you want to print, save to your computer and then print. (Remember to print as a full page.) The printables are in high-resolution PNG format and are for personal use only.
For the Adults: Hot Tea Valentine
Why not package up either loose leaf tea or specialty tea bags in a creative way for a teacher or co-worker? (This printable would work with hot cocoa or a specialty coffee, too.)
I chose triangle-shaped tea bags and packaged them into mason jars. I used a burlap topper and some raffia to make it extra-special. (You could even use a clear party gift bag. For an example of putting together gift bags with homemade toppers, feel free to visit my Holiday Hot Cocoa Kit with Homemade Stir Spoons post for inspiration.)
For the Kids (or Sweet-Loving Adults): An Adorable Honey Valentine
Give clover honey sticks or a pretty jar of local honey with a cute "Bee Mine" card attached.
My kids love to suck the honey out of the honey sticks as a little snack and I think these would be a great alternative to your child passing out candy to classmates. I found a 12-count package of them at Wal-Mart in the tea section for just under $3.00, but they can, also be ordered online from Stash (a tea company) for a little more. (They come in various flavors, too.)
I was inspired to create these printables from an art print project on Project Nursery. There are two color ways to choose from and a smaller size of the darker printable, so you have the perfect size for every Valentine gift.
For Your One True Love: 52 Reasons Why I Love You Valentine
This sweet idea costs next to nothing to make, but is incredibly meaningful for that special person in your life. Expressing love to your sweetheart through this heartfelt, homemade gift just takes a little of your time, but will remind them of your love all throughout the year!
Using fifty-two little pieces of paper, write out reasons why you love your significant other. Fold the pieces of paper, place them in a container (once again I used a mason jar), tie on some cute ribbon and attach a tag explaining the contents of the gift. Each week throughout the year, they can pull out a note to read.
BONUS: Owl Valentine Printable
And, because I'm loving all things owl right now, here's one more printable that I created for use with homemade gifts of your own or as pass-out cards.
The kitchen is where Angela feels most at home. If you'd like to discover a variety of family-friendly recipes inspired by Angela's time spent growing up alongside her mother and grandmothers in the kitchen, stop by Joyously Domestic for a visit.

Melissa says:
The idea of giving those honey sticks is GENIUS!!! And the printables are fantastic. I love the owl one too. Thank you Angela for sharing!
Jackie says:

About this Book
The second edition of this major textbook clearly shows how sociology can inform professional social work practice in the twenty-first century. It provides an easy-to-follow, jargon-free introduction to sociology for social work students, with crucial links to practice across a comprehensive range of topics.
The need for an appreciation of the insights sociology has to offer about our world and our actions within it has been underlined by recent reforms to social work education, and the new edition furthers its commitments to this goal. The book shows how sociology is an exciting and relevant topic to social work with a variety of service user groups, and supports and extends students' learning through carefully designed pedagogical features. Richly illustrated with evidence and examples, the book uses engaging case studies to demonstrate the relevance of sociology to everyday practice.
The new edition has been fully updated to explore contemporary issues for social workers, locating these in the context of global changes and strengthening its application of sociological theories to social work practice. Sociology for Social Workers will continue to be an invaluable teaching and learning resource that takes seriously sociology's capacity to contribute to positive social work practice.

Vice President Joe Biden was in Southwest Florida Friday night.
His motorcade came down Daniels Parkway just before 7 p.m. Friday, stopping at Bell Tower where, he is reportedly staying.
People from both parties watched as he arrived trying to catch a peak of the VP.
"I never expected to be this close ever I'm so excited," said Cecilia Null, of Fort Myers.
"I am so upset right now and I'm here to confront Vice president Biden," added Betty McCarney.
Biden is speaking Saturday afternoon at Wa-Ke Hatchee Park.

With the emergence of Jared Sullinger as a starting caliber power forward in the first months of his rookie season, many on this blog have been entertaining ideas of trading Bass to add quality depth to the center position. While redundancies have seemed to crop up in the rotation, specifically with Bass and Sully and Terry and Barbosa- any quick proposals to augment the roster with serviceable length (i.e., 6'11 plus forward or center) should be at least somewhat investigated to see if the proposals are in fact a step forward and not merely a step sideways.
These are some of Brandon Bass' key stats to illustrate his production from this current season. Over 26.3 minutes per game he is averaging 5.1 RPG, 0.8 APG, 0.6 SPG, 0.7BPG, 2.6 FPG and 7.8 PPG.
Here are Robin Lopez's key statistics at a similar playing time of 26.3 minutes per game as a basis of comparison: 5.7 RPG, 0.9 APG, 0.5 SPG, 1.8 BPG, 1.9 FPG, and 11.5 PPG. It is important to add a caveat concerning Lopez's usage rate. His is about 25% greater than Bass's -20.1% compared to 15.9%-. Looking at their respective field goal attempts, however, Lopez is actually a much more efficient scorer with roughly 8.8 field goal attempts per game (.554 FG%) to Bass' 9.8 (.445%).
The take away is that Bass and Lopez have very similar production in the categories that are often emphasized at their positions, but Lopez is clearly a superior player in some important categories, particularly FG% and blocks. The rebounding numbers are not that impressive for Lopez who, at 7' tall, is several inches taller than the undersized Bass. While the blocking numbers for Lopez over relatively limited minutes are impressive, any trade built principally around Bass and Lopez would mostly constitute a horizontal movement.
Marcin Gortat is intriguing. The purported rumors of chemistry issues between Gortat and the Phoenix coaching staff, his lessened role in the pick and role offense with the departure of Nash, and his recent decline of a contract extension with PHX suggests a trade will be done before the Feb. 21st trade deadline. The real questions surrounding a potential Gortat trade is what assets will Phoenix be looking for and, if the Celtics are in play, can they pay the asking price without disrupting the winning formula they've found since the start of the new year. Gortat obviously has size (6'11), rebounding acumen, shot blocking skills, and low post scoring ability, but do his numbers maintain their luster when averaged over the same MPG as Bass, the player he would most likely supplant in the rotation?
Taking each of Gortat's key per 36 min. stats, dividing it by 36 and multiplying those by 26.3 (mpg) gives us an idea of what Gortat could bring to the Celtics without substantially affecting the minutes (and presumably production) of our other players. Here are the levelized numbers rounded to the nearest tenth: 8.2 RPG, 1.1 APG, .5 SPG, 1.4 BPG, 8.5 PPG, and 6.9 Field goal attempts per game. His point production is lower than Bass's, but he take 3 shots less per game over the same amount of playing time. His rebounding remains very good, as do his blocking numbers.
Bass brings floor spacing with his pick and pop shooting ability and even in a down year he is still an above average mid-range shooter from ten to fifteen feet at 43.2% (in the 2011-12 season he shot 47.4% from the same range). Gortat, however, has also shown an ability to also hit from this range and is actually shooting better than Bass this current season at 45.3% from ten to fifteen feet (stats courtesy of basketball reference).
With a PG like Rondo feeding him for easy mid-rang shots, Gortat could fit into Boston's offensive schemes rather seamlessly when replacing Bass. And unlike Bass, Gortat would bring the size and interior defensive presence that has been lacking since the infamous Perkins trade two seasons ago. No one knows, other than Phoenix's GM, what it would take to foster a trade for Marcin but, considering the possibility he walks in the offseason without any return it seems pretty likely PHX will be pressed into a trade whether they like it or not.
I am skeptical of pulling the trigger on anything that would compromise the recent chemistry this team has worked so tirelessly to achieve but, if and when Gortat becomes available I hope Danny takes a long, hard look. If it takes two first round picks, Fab Melo with his tremendous upside and cap filler like Bass or Terry to facilitate a trade I would hope he really considers it. I like our team, the personalities, the defensive edginess with which they play, but if we want to beat a team like Miami we'll need more size and interior presence. I think Gortat could be that player; a step forward and not sideways.

Negotiations Between U.S. and EU Underway
The first round of Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership negotiations are underway between the U.S. and European Union. On Monday - negotiators focused on the importance of the talks and started to lay out plans for the round. Issues from investment to government procurement to textiles to energy were discussed by the negotiating teams. The chief negotiators from the two sides also met. U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman said there is an opportunity in TTIP to accomplish something very significant for the nation's economies, their relationship and the global trading system as a whole. He also believes the negotiations represent a chance to spur growth and generate large job growth supported by transatlantic trade and investment. Froman admitted there will be challenges - but said there is strong political will at the highest levels on both sides of the Atlantic to stay focused and get this done on one tank of gas. Froman expressed confidence that goal can be achieved - but also said it's important to resist the temptation to downsize ambitions or avoid tough issues just for the sake of getting a deal.
The talks continued Tuesday with a focus on agricultural sanitary and phytosanitary measures. Negotiations are expected to continue through the week.

PINNACLE OF HORROR is rated out of 5 by 4.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dj_Oko from great business mix pleasure travel Bought it in Jan 2012, black, brought it for business travel and then leisure for 3 weeks in Europe. (almost) formal but sporty look because of the black, but when I travel for leisure and leave the laptop at the hotel, this bag is flexible and big enough to hold all documents secure and dry in the winter. Zipper add security. Volume just nice to carry the things I bought. After more than 1 year of everyday use, I got few rips and tear at the seam but still very good condition. Now up to my 3rd Crumpler Messenger Bag.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hamada from Fits more than you think Bought it just before my travel back home to Japan, for 4 weeks I carried this around and the wonderful pad on this bag kept my shoulder hurt free. It fitted laptop, iPad mini, Fuji X100s, wallet, iPod, external hard drive, headphones and other things I'd purchase around the city. I found that the bag kept on accepting more and more things due to its expandable construction. The Brisbane store's staffs were very helpful with choosing the right bag as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jims from Excellent design and quality! Super comfortable to wear with the added pad over the shoulder; this bag has a brilliant design that allows it to unfold into a larger tote-like shape or as pictured, folds in half into a more compact design, secured by a very trusty buckle. Lightweight, high quality and visually minimal while being highly versatile (as well as full of functional waterproof ziplock pockets) l'm looking forward to many years ahead with my Pinnacle of Horror.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Polo from Perfect travel bag Bought my second Crumpler for a recent holiday overseas - was perfect to travel with. It could handle everything I needed to take while in transit and didn't make me look like I was a tourist lugging too many things around. Because of the expandable design I could also pack Crumpler with everything I needed for short trips over a few days, rather than taking an entire suitcase. Comfortable, weather proof and smart - highly recommended bag.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CLyong from The bes bag i've had so far! Really liked it! Bought this back in 2012. Sporty loook and casual. Best for everyday use! Couldn't find any bag to beat this. BIG thumbs up to crumpler!

Spin Forward: Moving on from CC
Rest of field must act on pitching as Yanks remain aggressive
Now that the CC Sabathia ship has sailed into the Yankees' harbor, the wake of the seven-year signing is being felt from Milwaukee out to the West Coast.
In Milwaukee, the Brewers have made it clear they are not suddenly going to take the $100 million they would have paid Sabathia and spread it elsewhere. They obviously remain in the market for a starter with not only Sabathia gone but most likely Sheets, the ace for a half-decade before CC arrived.They're said to be looking at the Rangers' Kevin Millwood via trade, but after that, it's more the likes of Carl Pavano or Randy Wolf on the free-agent market, not the bigger guns -- and that probably includes Sheets if he wants more than one year, and of course he does. Trade routes could include a venture Northwest to his old buddy Jack Zduriencik, the new GM in Seattle, who needs hitting (Prince Fielder, J.J. Hardy) in his first winter away from Melvin's front office in Milwaukee. On the West Coast, the mood is a little different -- CC clearly was California Dreamin', and so were the suitors. The Angels admitted afterward they knew it was never going to happen, and the Dodgers never seemed fully engaged, with manager Joe Torre calling it a "tease." Unlike the Angels, the Dodgers still have a need for a veteran starter, but they're not expected to aim at the highest row on the salary chart there -- more along the lines of Johnson or Pettitte. The Giants, meanwhile, considered Sabathia a "fallback" option (read: not a chance), and while they might go after Johnson or even Sheets, it's not exactly an area of need with National League Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and the Sabathia of a few years ago, Barry Zito. So maybe a Pavano or Wolf would make more sense. So who is going to make some noise in the starter market? Besides the Yankees, that is? The Red Sox certainly might jump in and duke it out for Burnett, and the Braves don't appear ready to stand idly by there, either. The Rangers have made overtures to Sheets and to Johnson, and there's something about a big, hard-throwing starter that rings a bell there -- that would be Nolan Ryan, the club president. The reality is that once the Yankees were in on Sabathia, pretty much everybody else was preparing to move on. Now it's time to move on, and there's some moving on to be done.

Very honored and blessed to be a coach at The University of Arkansas. We have great people here. Thanks— Coach Sam Pittman (@CoachSamPittman) February 26, 2013
There was a mild panic shortly after National Signing Day when rumors began swirling that Alabama was coming after Arkansas offensive line coach Sam Pittman after the Crimson Tide's previous coach at the position, Jeff Stoutland, left Tuscaloosa for a job with the Philadelphia Eagles.
However, we've repeatedly heard Bret Bielema say one of the main reasons he came to Arkansas was because of a commitment from the Arkansas administration that they would be willing to spend to keep top assistants, something that didn't happen at Wisconsin. And, oh did Jeff Long keep his word.
Arkansas nearly doubled Pittman's salary (putting him very close to the coordinators' salaries) and put two extra years on his contract. Not a bad deal. And Alabama eventually hired former Florida International coach Mario Cristobal for the position. This was Bielema's tweet from a couple of weeks ago when it's assumed Pittman agreed to stay at Arkansas but before deal specifics were put in place.
Can't say THANK YOU enough to UA administration & support to keep our staff together when others come calling to hire away. #WPS #GoHogsGo— Bret Bielema (@BretBielema) February 11, 2013
Just in case you're wondering why Arkansas wants to keep Pittman so badly, remember the recruitment of Dan Skipper and Denver Kirkland's dramatic announcement on Signing Day. Here's a picture of Pittman that UA released after Kirkland's announcement:

Oliver LOOGYs are signed now.
