Police are appealing for witnesses after a cash machine exploded.
Shortly after 1am this morning, (Wednesday) April 12, police were called to reports that a cash machine had been attacked at Tate Oil Petrol Station, Wigan Road in Leigh.
Officers attended and discovered the machine had been blown up and the contents had been removed.
Police are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident to get in touch after a silver BMW saloon-type car was seen leaving the scene towards Atherton Road, Hindley with three or four men on board. Officers believe the part of the number plate may be YF0.
One of the men who left in the car is described as wearing a high visibility vest and another was carrying a gun.
Detective Sergeant Lee Shaw of GMP's Wigan Borough, said: "The explosion was incredibly loud and could be heard more than a mile away so I want to reassure people who may have been concerned that we are following each enquiry that is reported to us to find those responsible.
"An extreme amount of damage was caused to the machine but fortunately, no neighbouring buildings or people were affected.
"If you heard the explosion, noticed anything suspicious or saw a BMW matching the description in the area at that time, please get in touch with us."
Anyone with information should contact police on 0161 856 7225 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Past Event: Call for Quilts!
We have been asked by the Unitarian Universalist Church, if we would be interested in displaying quilts in their Fireside Room. This is the room directly next to where we hold our EBHQ General Meetings each month.The quilts would be a wonderful way to show our work and promote the guild. Do peek into the fireside room at our next meeting to get a feel for the location. Quilts will hang above the fireplace, on a 3-4 month rotation. A winter themed quilt would be really great for our first installation, but all quilts will be considered.
The fireplace is no longer used for fires, and the room is mostly shaded in daylight hours. A sheet can be provided so the back will not get dusty.
Display will include a short write-up on the artist and our organization next to the quilt. You may also price your quilt for sale.
Quilt submissions need to be between 40 to 60 inches wide.
Quilts will need to be in good balance with the fireplace. Photos and sizes should be submitted to Pati Fried at firstname.lastname@example.com for consideration. The exhibit team will contact you with information and scheduling.
This will be an ongoing exhibit, so please keep this in mind for future months.
Questions? Contact Pati Fried at email@example.com.

Past Event: Alameda County Arts Commission Quilt Exhibit
EBHQ's Alameda County Arts Commission Exhibit
Now through February 26, 2015
The Alameda County Arts Commission Exhibit is now installed and already being enjoyed by many visitors! Please take time to visit the two locations that are hosting our guild member' quilts.
Alameda County Administration Building
1221 Oak Street, Oakland
1st and 5th Floor
Highland Hospital Pavilion
1411 E 31st St, Oakland
Main Lobby
I wanted to share a few photos. Due to long halls and glass enclosures, they are not the best photos. But it does show how lovely they look in the spaces.
Alameda County Building - 1st Floor
Alameda County Building - 5th Floor
Highland Hospital Lobby
I also wanted to share part of the lovely letter that I received the Program Coordinator for the Exhibit:
Already we are getting rave reviews about the show! The County employees were extremely excited by the show. I had several employees tell me about all their many favorites. One employee even used an online translator to see what the meaning of the African language phrase is on the Kangs of Africa quilt. The exhibit is a big hit!
It is so nice to bring art to the people who work and visit both the County Administration Building and the Highland Pavillion. It clearly makes them happy. I could really see the thoughtfulness with which you and your team put into the groupings. They not only worked very well together but they also worked extremely well in each individual space. So thank you for all your work on putting it together!
Violet JunoProgram CoordinatorAlameda County Arts CommissionA Division of the County of Alameda
And to add to Violet's letter, thank you all for sharing your quilts and thank you to Claire Sherman and Kim Buteau for helping put this together.
Pati Fried.

Passion of Mind is a 2000 American psychological romantic drama film starring Demi Moore.[2] It was the first English-language film from Belgian director Alain Berliner, best known for the arthouse success Ma Vie en Rose.
Marty (Moore) is a high-powered single literary agent in Manhattan. Marie (also Moore) is a widow in Provence with two daughters and a peaceful life. Marty has been seeing a therapist (Peter Riegert) to deal with her vivid dreams of Marie's life; when Marie falls asleep she dreams Marty's life, but is much less disturbed by it; each woman is convinced that the other is a figment of her imagination. When Marty meets Aaron (William Fichtner) they become friends and eventually lovers; terrified that her vivid other life means that she's losing her mind, Marty does not want to tell Aaron about it but finally does. Marie, meanwhile, has met William (Stellan Skarsgård); she too is reluctant to tell William about her dreams, particularly since she (as Marty) is falling in love with Aaron, but realizes that she cannot keep such an important part of her life a secret.
The two men react very differently: William is jealous, while Aaron is skeptical but not at all threatened, and wants only for Marty to be happy. Dreams and real life begin to merge when Marie goes on holiday with William to Paris, and Marty wakes up with an ashtray from the hotel on her night stand. Eventually Marty/Marie must come to terms with reality and choose which life is real and which is illusion.

January 2018
The parenting-focused Strong African American Families program can ameliorate poverty's negative effects on limbic brain development.
March 2015 Family Spirit, a program that teaches parenting skills to American Indian teen mothers, improved participants' children's emotional and behavioral development throughout their first 36 months of life.
December 2015 Communities that implemented Life Skills Training in a trial more than recouped its cost in reduced health, social, and other expenditures related to teen prescription opioid misuse.
January 2017
The Strengthening Families Program for Youth 10-14 (SFP10-14), an evidence-based intervention that reduces teen substance use, also reduced participants' friends' substance use. Two factors that accounted for the nonparticipants' reductions were less time spent by nonparticipants with their participating friends without adult supervision and improvements in nonparticipants' attitudes toward substance use. The findings suggest that researchers should consider the potential for diffusion of benefits in designing and implementing prevention programs.
August 2018
A survey that is a key tool in the Communities That Care prevention system is largely valid in Native American communities. Adjusting the survey to incorporate culturally specific risk and protective factors can improve its usefulness.
September 2015 New findings from a follow-up to a NIDA-supported trial indicate that the benefits of Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care extend to a reduction in illegal drug use in young adulthood.

If you are a property owner in an unsewered area, you will likely have an on-site sewerage facility (OSSF) installed at your property for the treatment and disposal of wastewater.
OSSFs can include different types of treatment and methods of disposal, such as septic tanks with transpiration trenches, aerobic sand filtration systems with surface irrigation, and aerated wastewater treatment systems with sub-surface irrigation.
Regardless of the type of OSSF on your property, all OSSFs require regular maintenance and it is your responsibility to make sure this is carried out.
In Queensland, an appropriately licensed person must legally carry out the maintenance of an on-site sewage treatment plant.
Your Local Government Authority (LGA) may also maintain an inspection program to ensure all on-site sewerage facilities are operating correctly. You should contact your LGA directly if you want to find out more about their OSSF inspection program.

November 7, 2018, 11:59 amGoran DragicG, Miami Heat
Goran Dragic is questionable to face the Spurs tonight due to a right knee injury.
Dragic missed the game on Saturday due to a foot issue but this is the first time we are hearing something about his knee. He is shooting an atrocious 41.3 percent from the field so far this year but still returning top-125 value. The Heat started Justise Winslow in his place last week and he is worth a look in case the Dragon misses any action while Tyler Johnson should also get a boost.

December 14, 2019, 9:15 pmJerami GrantSF, Denver Nuggets
Jerami Grant will start in place of Paul Millsap who is out with a right quadriceps strain on Saturday vs. the Thunder.
Grant will face his old team the Thunder in a revenge game. He was able to have a great game with Millsap out last game.

December 14, 2019, 8:59 pmLuka DoncicPG-SF, Dallas Mavericks
Luka Doncic sprained his right ankle and is questionable to return on Saturday vs. the Heat.
Doncic's ankle looked to have touched the floor as he turned his ankle on Kendrick Nunn's foot. The good news is that he hasn't been listed out straight away.

December 14, 2019, 8:49 pmLuka DoncicPG-SF, Dallas Mavericks
Luka Doncic sprained his right ankle and hopped to the locker room early in the first quarter on Saturday vs. the Heat.
Doncic sprained his right ankle on a drive to the rim as he stepped on Kendrick Nunn's foot. He was holding his ankle in pain before he hopped to the locker room. Updates to come.
Source: Jason Jackson on Twitter
December 14, 2019, 8:42 pmDe'Aaron FoxPG, Sacramento Kings
De'Aaron Fox (sprained left ankle) has been listed as doubtful for Sunday vs. the Warriors.
Fox originally said that he's targeting a return, either vs. the Hornets or against the Grizzlies. He has been going hard in workouts and not experiencing any pain. Look for him to be on a minutes limit early on as the Kings ease him back into game shape.

December 14, 2019, 8:38 pmAron BaynesC, Phoenix Suns
Aron Baynes (left calf strain) recorded 13 points on 6-of-11 shooting with eight rebounds, one 3-pointer and two blocks in Saturday's OT loss to the Spurs.
Baynes was probable heading into this game and it's a good thing he gave it a go and delivered a serviceable line for his owners. Baynes' heightened value has a fuse as long (or as short) as it takes for Deandre Ayton (suspension) to get back on the floor.
December 14, 2019, 8:35 pmThon MakerC, Detroit Pistons
Thon Maker will start in place of Andre Drummond (eye) on Saturday vs the Rockets.
Maker and Christian Wood will likely be splitting centre minutes with Andrew Drummond out. Maker got the start but Wood has the higher fantasy upside.
Source: Keith Langlois on Twitter
December 14, 2019, 8:32 pmDario SaricPF, Phoenix Suns
Dario Saric tied his career-high with 17 rebounds on Saturday, adding 19 points on 8-of-17 shootign with one 3-pointer and four assists to round out his line for the night.
Saric was probable coming into this game with some lower back soreness, but by the result was healthy enough to deliver a fat double-double by his standards. He's a sell-high candidate given Deandre Ayton's (suspension) impending return.
December 14, 2019, 8:29 pmRicky RubioPG, Phoenix Suns
Ricky Rubio was excellent in Saturday's loss to the Spurs, recording a season-high 25 points on 10-of-20 shooting with three rebounds, 13 dimes, two 3s, one steal and one block.
This was World-Cup Rubio showed up tonight and stepped up in the absence of Devin Booker (sore wrist). Overall, Rubio has been a top-50 beast in 9-cat as one of the most well-rounded Tier 2 point guards in the game.
December 14, 2019, 8:25 pmMikal BridgesSF, Phoenix Suns
Mikal Bridges started for Devin Booker (sore wrist) on Saturday and quietly tallied five points, 10 rebounds, four dimes and two steals.
Bridges has been a bit of a letdown overall this season with Kelly Oubre Jr. stealing a bit of his thunder and his usage as a perimeter defender. That said, Bridges has done enough to stay relevant in 14-team leagues or deeper. Oubre struggled with his shot in this one, going 5-for-15 from the field for 17 points, eight rebounds, two 3s and one steal.
December 14, 2019, 8:22 pmLuke KennardSG, Detroit Pistons
Luke Kennard (bilateral knee soreness) is available on Saturday vs. the Rockets.
Kennard has been dealing with knee issues since training camp and the preseason. He has been contributing in points, threes and assists to be a standard-league player.

LONDON (Reuters) - Activist Edward Bramson on Monday made a renewed plea for Barclays' investors to give him a seat on the bank's board, as the war of words between his Sherborne Investors fund and the lender's management ratchets up.
Both camps have begun a back-and-forth courting of shareholders ahead of the bank's May 2 annual general meeting as Bramson attempts to muscle in on decision-making at the company and push through his proposal for a strategic overhaul of Barclays investment bank.
After both issued statements last week laying out their case, New York-based Bramson again wrote to investors on Monday to say nothing Barclays had said had made him change his view about what needed to change at the bank.
"In our firm's professional opinion, the stubbornly low valuation that the market accords to the shares of Barclays will continue until the board finally adopts a strategy that is more realistic and shareholder orientated," Bramson said.
Barclays said last week that it plans to stick to its efforts to improve performance at the investment bank rather than scale it back in size.
Given that, Bramson reiterated his call to join the board.
"Our public investment record shows that we have consistently assisted boards, that were initially reluctant, to deliver major increases in value for all of the shareholders," Bramson said.
"We believe that, given mutual goodwill, and some change in perspective, Barclays offers similar opportunities."
However, Barclays' defence against the activist received a boost over the weekend after shareholder advisory group Glass Lewis recommended investors vote against Bramson's bid to join the board.
While Glass Lewis said the activist's arguments had some merit, with shareholders getting "fairly mediocre returns", it none the less took a dim view of the motion.
"We ultimately believe support for Sherborne's proposal would entail considerably greater risk and uncertainty and, based on available disclosure, would be predicated on substantially unknown strategic intentions," the advisory group said.

Can he top it this term? He says he will take on deficit reduction, reduction of health care costs, immigration reform, sensible gun control measures and climate change. He exuded confidence in his inaugural address. Will that carry over into action? What's your view?

Perhaps the least known legume in North America, fava beans have served as a culinary staple dating back to prehistoric times. The versatile fava bean, a member of the pea family, answers to other names, including broad, horse, English, or Windsor Bean. Harvested in the spring, fava beans hold up to refrigeration for several days, and store well when either frozen or dried. Fava beans are often a sign of spring in Europe and in restaurants across the U.S. What a great way to add beautiful colors to your meals!
Like other legumes, fava beans provide a generous amount of both soluble and insoluble fibers and phytochemicals. Soluble fiber helps lower LDL cholesterol, while insoluble fiber acts as a broom in your large intestine. The phytochemicals in fava beans may also inhibit the growth of certain cancers.
A single cup of cooked fava beans provides 187 calories, 13 grams of protein, virtually no fat, 60 mg of calcium, 4 mcg of selenium, 175 mcg of folate, and 9 grams of fiber.
Cook with Fava Beans
While the mature beans cook in a similar way to lima beans, fava beans provide a less starchy mouthfeel, which is a big plus for many diners. Like other beans, fava beans are mild in flavor and adaptable to many culinary applications.
- Use fava beans in soups, pasta dishes, and casseroles.
- Try them in a stir-fry.
- Saute fava beans with olive oil, add lemon juice or flavored vinegar, and include seasonings like garlic, basil, oregano, and black pepper. Serve the sauteed beans as a side dish, or cool them and serve everything as a salad.
- Add rosemary and garlic to cooked fava beans and top with Parmesan cheese.
- Make a springtime vegetable medley using favas, broccoli, artichokes, carrots, and/or mushrooms.
- Include fava beans in risotto or your favorite rice dish.
- Try tossing them with traditional salad fare (lettuces, spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc) or toss them alone with grated carrot and minced bell peppers.
- The sauteed beans can also be pureed with a little olive oil, vinegar and fresh herbs such as parsley, rosemary and garlic. Serve the puree as a sauce for grilled fish or poultry, or as a dip for crusty bread or vegetables.
- Include fava beans in a variety of dishes and impress family, friends, and clients with your culinary knowledge!
Fava Bean Success Tips
Still not sure about fava beans? Sometimes a little know-how is all you need to make a new vegetable less intimidating. Check out the fava success tips that we've outlined below...
- Early in the season, when the fava bean is young and fresh, you can eat the bean and pod together. You know, like snap peas.
- Mature but still young beans are best once they are removed from the pod. However, they are tender enough to eat in the skin, even raw.
- Older and larger beans require parboiling to loosen the skin. (The skin becomes tough with age). If the process doesn't completely remove the skin, manually slip the bean from the skin before serving.
- Make the shelling and peeling of fava beans a social activity. Guests often congregate in the kitchen and would probably love to see how you prepared these unusual beans.
A Word of Caution
Individuals on medication to increase dopamine levels (as in Parkinson's disease) or to block dopamine catabolism (MAO inhibitors) should consume fava beans with caution or not at all. Also, individuals native to the Mediterranean countries and parts of Asia may experience a genetic sensitivity to catabolic products of fava beans. This condition is called favism. Initial symptoms mirror flu and are easily treatable, but if not treated favism develops into hemolytic anemia. Talk with your doctor if you have any concerns about fava beans.

MO Handling Their Juvenile Problem
Michael at Corrections Sentencing points us to this great story about the different approach they are taking with taking with juveniles in Missouri..
By TODD LEWAN, AP National WriterSat Dec 29, 6:09 PM ET
At age 9, Korey Davis came home from school with gang writing on his arm. At 10, he jacked his first car. At 13, he and some buddies got guns, used them to relieve a man of his Jeep, and later, while trying to outrun a police helicopter, smacked their hot wheels into a fire hydrant.
For his exploits, the tough-talking teen pulled not only a 15-year sentence (the police subsequently connected him to three previous car thefts) but got "certified" as an adult offender and shipped off to the St. Louis City workhouse to inspire a change of heart.
It didn't have the desired effect.
"I wasn't wanting to listen to nobody. If you wasn't my momma, or anybody in my family, I wasn't gonna listen to you, period," says Korey, now 19. "I was very rebellious."
At that stage, most states would have written Korey off and begun shuttling him from one adult prison to the next, where he likely would have sat in sterile cells, joined a gang, and spent his days and nights plotting his next crime.
But this is Missouri, a place where teen offenders are viewed not just as inmates but as works in progress — where troubled kids are rehabilitated in small, homelike settings that stress group therapy and personal development over isolation and punishment.
With prisons around the country filled to bursting, and with states desperate for ways to bring down recidivism rates that rise to 70 and 80 percent, some policymakers are taking a fresh look at treatment-oriented approaches like Missouri's as a way out of America's juvenile justice crisis.
Here, large, prison-style "gladiator schools" have been abandoned in favor of 42 community-based centers spread around the state so that now, even parents of inner-city offenders can easily visit their children and participate in family therapy.
The ratio of staff to kids is low: one-to-five. Wards, referred to as "clients," are grouped in teams of 10, not unlike a scout troop. Barring outbursts, they're rarely separated: They go to classes together, play basketball together, eat together, and bunk in communal "cottages." Evenings, they attend therapy and counseling sessions as a group.
Missouri doesn't set timetables for release; children stay until they demonstrate a fundamental shift in character — a policy that detainees say gives kids an added incentive to take the program seriously.
Those who are let out don't go unwatched: College students or other volunteers who live in the released youths' community track these youths for three years, helping with job placement, therapy referrals, school issues and drug or alcohol treatment.
The results?
_About 8.6 percent of teens who complete Missouri's program are incarcerated in adult prisons within three years of release, according to 2006 figures. (In New York, 75 percent are re-arrested as adults, 42 percent for a violent felony. California's rates are similar.)
_Last year, 7.3 percent of teen offenders released from Missouri's youth facilities were recommitted to juvenile centers for new offenses. Texas, which spends about 20 percent more to keep a child in juvenile corrections, has a recidivism rate that tops 50 percent.
_No Missouri teens have committed suicide while in custody since 1983, when the state began overhauling its system. From 1995 to 1999 alone, at least 110 young people killed themselves in juvenile facilities nationwide, according to figures from the National Center on Institutions and Alternatives.
Does this "law-and-order" state know something others don't?
Hardly, says Mark Steward, who, as director of the state's Division of Youth Services from 1987 to 2005, oversaw the development of what many experts regard as the best juvenile rehabilitation system in America.
"This isn't rocket science," Steward says. "It's about giving young people structure, and love and attention, and not allowing them to hurt themselves or other people. Pretty basic stuff, really. It's just that a lot of these kids haven't gotten the basic stuff."
Take Korey Davis. He didn't meet his dad until he was 5. He and his siblings were raised largely by aunts and uncles. If the judge handling his case had left him in county detention centers until he reached adult age — 17, in Missouri — then had him serve the rest of his sentence in prison, few eyebrows would have been raised.
But a chance to save a life would have been missed. "In jail, I wouldn't never have changed what I always done," Davis says. "There was no treatment at all." He contemplates this for a second, and adds with a near-whisper: "Right now, I'd probably be dead."
In Missouri, judges can keep serious felons in the juvenile system until they are 21. That's what happened with Davis. At 15, he was sent to the Montgomery City Project, where robbers, rapists and the like get one last shot.
At first, he didn't want it.
But a year into his stay, two things knocked him back on his heels: the news that his younger brother had been shot and wounded in a gang fight, and an invitation from a counselor to sit down, after class, to read a book out loud with her.
To a boy accustomed to hiding his illiteracy, the offer felt awkward. But because this woman had given him a chance, he responded, and "when I actually learned how to read, it made everything in the world easier for me."
Three years later, Davis is a group leader — and no softy with his peers, either. "We don't let each other get by with slick stuff, just doing the bare minimum," he says. He reads voraciously (recently, "The Bond," about three fatherless teens in Newark, N.J.). He's been accepted by a community technical college, plans to study carpentry. And, he's proud to say, his kid brother has taken to heart this advice:
"Put the guns down."
Many states are trying to bring down high rates of repeat offending by juveniles.
Wisconsin now treats some repeat offenders with mental health counselors in hospitals, instead of corrections officers in jails.
Illinois offers them drug treatment, job placement — or an expedited return to custody.
And Washington state targets kids at risk of becoming its most serious offenders with early, intensive anger-management, drug and family therapy.
Research guided these approaches. One 2006 study, for example, found that anger-management, foster-care treatment and family group therapy cut recidivism drastically among teens, resulting in taxpayer savings up to $78,000 per child. Programs that tried to scare kids into living a clean life were money losers, according to the study, conducted by the Washington State Institute for Public Policy.

Yuri Bezmenov: 'Deception Was My Job' - Ex-KGB Officer and Soviet Defector Reveals Subversive Tactics Against Western Society
Bezmenov explains how Marxist ideology is destabilizing the economy and purposefully pushing the U.S. into numerous crises so that a "Big Brother" tyranny can be put into place in Washington, how most Americans don't even realize that they are under attack, and that normal parliamentary procedures will not alter the federal government's direction. He then explains how Marxist leaders use informers to make lists of anti-Communist and other politically incorrect people who they want to execute once they come to power. The secret lists include "civil rights" activists and idealistically-minded "useful idiot" leftists as well. Bezmenov provides several real world examples of how Marxist leaders even execute and/or imprison each other. Also he explains how American embassy employees were known to betray Soviets attempting to defect, how there existed a "triangle of hate" in the Soviet government, why he realized that Marxism-Leninism was a murderous doctrine, and how the CIA...(Back to Video)

Song from:
Click below to listen to a sample:
I Said That I Would Sing
I first heard about this place,
this little lump of clay
on a message board in space,
about a billion stars away.
The ad read:
'Floating garden orb circling a sun.
Help us build a heaven here.
We need one more volunteer'.
So I said that I would come.
I was asked when I applied
to name some service I could bring.
I think service should be joyous,
so I said that I would sing.
Well, I guess I got the job.
And I don't mean to complain.
But it's not like they described
in that little classified
that I read before I came.
Had I somehow missed a turn?
Was this even the right place?
Had I fallen for a scam–
or was it more a fall from grace?
Oh, it's beautiful alright–
how I love the desert sky.
And a quiet mountain lake
is enough to make me cry.
But I did not come prepared
for the density or strife,
for the cruel and inhumane
injustices and pain
that can pass here for a life.
So from a very early age,
I grew restless here because
of this longing to go home,
though I could not say
where home was.
Then in answer to my prayer
or more truthfully my scream,
my beloved self appeared,
come to wake me from this dream.
And with a diamond voice declared:
"Home is not some distant star,
or some heavenly reward
that your days are marching toward
but the truth of who you are–
An awareness so immense
it holds all of this inside…"
As she spoke my mind fell still
but my tears would not subside.
And from the arms of grace, I knew
that all suffering would cease
if we could yield to this embrace,
if we just trusted in this peace.
To even try to find the words
can be a sacrilegious thing:
So I'd just as soon be silent–
….but I said that I would sing.

|Francis addresses Brazilian slum with giant Romero painting overhead;
Francis blesses likeness of Romero presented by the faithful;
Romero banners at Francis' «Angelus» event at the Vatican.
Let's be frank: Pope Francis is the best thing to happen for Óscar Romero. But let's also be clear: the reason why Francis is so good for the memory of the slain Salvadoran archbishop (1917-1980) is not that Francis has advanced Romero's beatification cause (though he has) or that Francis has validated Romero by taking social stances reminiscent of Romero (though he has also done that). The greatest thing Francis has done for Romero is to attract the contempt of the right, showing the world that being painted as a Marxist for espousing the social gospel is badge of honor, not a cause of shame.
Beatification "unblocked"
Romero supporters have much to be thankful for in Francis' pontificate so far. Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio's views about Romero were known in the inner circles before he was even Pope. In May 2007, Cardinal Bergoglio told a Salvadoran cleric, "If I had been pope, the very first thing I would have done is order the beatification of Archbishop Romero." According to reports, the Argentine had come in second behind Joseph Ratzinger in the 2005 conclave. But on March 13, 2013, the Argentine became Pope Francis, and on April 20 he let it be known that he had "unblocked" the Romero beatification.
During his years as Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Card. Bergoglio attended several ceremonies paying tribute to Archbishop Romero in events organized by the Sant Egidio community of Argentina, in the framework of the ecumenical commemoration of twentieth century martyrs. For example, in the 2005 commemoration of Romero and others, held at the Buenos Aires Cathedral, Card. Bergoglio railed against the "greatest evil that can happen to the Church of the Lord: spiritual vulgarity—when we enter into accommodations with the schemes of this world." When Card. Bergoglio led a delegation of Argentine bishops to Rome in 2009, they visited the Basilica of St. Bartholomew on Tiber Island, which pays tribute to twentieth century martyrs, including Archbishop Romero.
In the year that he has been Pope, Francis has continually discussed Romero and his beatification with a long line of visitors. For example, in the days around his inauguration, Francis received several guests who took up Romero with the new pope, including the Anglican archbishop of York John Sentamu, who handed Pope Francis a "Romero Cross" like the one Sentamu wears. In those first months, Francis met twice with the Argentine Nobel Peace laureate Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, and they discussed Romero and the desirability of a positive result in his canonization process. That specific topic—Romero and his canonization process—took center stage in several high profile meetings, including with Salvadoran president Mauricio Funes, with his successor Salvador Sánchez Cerén, and with the President of the Central American Parliament who Francis assured that the canonization is "on the right path."
When Pope Francis received a high ranking delegation of Salvadoran bishops last month, and the topic of discussion was, again, Archbishop Romero, there were widespread rumors that a beatification announcement was imminent. Although that ultimately turned out to be premature speculation, it showed how high the expectations for Romero have risen under this pontificate, where a year before Francis' election, the prospect of Romero's sainthood was being sized up by Vatican-watchers as a "lost cause."
'A poor Church, for the poor'
The elevation of the first Latin American to the See of Peter represented a tectonic shift for the Church—and for the Romero cause. As explained by Italian Cardinals Achille Silvestrini and Andrea Cordero Lanza di Montezemolo, Romero symbolizes "the Church that Pope Bergoglio wants to project to the geographical and existential peripheries" in this Pontificate and there is "an identity of thinking" between Archbishop Romero and the new Pope, who announced he would like to see the Catholic Church be "a poor Church for the poor."
The Argentine Pontiff has said that he chose the name "Francis," in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, because of the beloved saint's association with the poor and the environment. "How I would like a Church which is poor and for the poor!," he declared within days of being elected. For his part, Romero is best recalled as a champion of the poor, who sought to be the voice of the voiceless: "We are never ashamed to say the Church of the poor," he insisted.
Because Francis hails from Latin America, says Honduran Cardinal Óscar Andrés Rodríguez Maradiaga, a close advisor to the Pope, he knows how the other half lives. "For us, poverty is concrete people, concrete faces of people — people who suffer, people who are living in slums, people who are in prison, people who are deported, people who are in refugee camps," says the prelate. Cardinal Rodríguez, an avowed Romero admirer, says that it was "the constant seeking of the will of God that led him to face bravely the structural sin that was crushing the little ones of his dear country." According to the Honduran cardinal, "Francis analyzes the economy from the point of view of the poor which is in line with Jesus's perspective." Moreover, says Rodríguez, "Francis recognizes in those unjust structures an illness of the system as such." An illness which the Pontiff—like Archbishop Romero—consistently denounces.
'If the world hate you, it hated Me before it hated you…'
Perhaps the greatest validation Pope Francis has brought to Archbishop Romero is to put the slanders against the Salvadoran martyr in context in the way that the Pontiff has become a lightning rod for ideologues. For years, the greatest stumbling block in Romero's path to beatification was the perception that he was Marxist-tainted or affiliated with the "socialist" current of Liberation Theology. Francis has largely obliterated that stain by showing that ideological critics will bristle even at fair criticism of capitalism (they had similarly attacked Paul VI), and are not too shy to attack even the Pope.
The American conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh dismissed Pope Francis' criticism of capitalism as "pure Marxism coming out of the mouth of the pope." Limbaugh accused Francis, among other things of using Marxist terms like "unfettered capitalism" to describe the world economy. "Unfettered capitalism? That doesn't exist anywhere. Unfettered capitalism is a liberal socialist phrase to describe the United States." Even a Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government scholar criticized Francis for supposedly "promoting envy" of the rich while discouraging entrepreneurship and innovation. "Encouraging people to measure themselves against others only leads to grief," wrote Lant Pritchett. "Resenting the success of others is a sin in itself." Similarly, Loyola Marymount (a Catholic institution) professor David Byrne admitted that he "cringed" at the echoes of Liberation Theology in the Pope's exhortation «Evangelii Gaudium».
Of course, rightwing extremists had branded Romero (whose middle name was Arnulfo—after St. Arnulf of Soissons, upon whose feast day he was born) "Marxnulfo" and accused him of everything from stirring up class hatred to actively leading a Communist rebellion (seriously). The smears have nothing to do with truth or honest analysis, and everything to do with the sting when denunciation strikes a chord:
If the world hate you, know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own, but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." (John 15:18-19.)
In light of these words of Jesus, the revulsion from certain quarters inspired by Romero and the Pope are no cause for shame, but rather they are confirmations of authenticity and badges of courage. By attracting the same venom and contempt as the abused Salvadoran, Pope Francis is helping the Catholic world to understand Romero.

As March has teased us with better weather, we hope for less wintry crops at the farmers' market, but until later in April, you'll have much of the same variety as the colder winter months. But don't worry! That's still a ton of variety. From now til the end of April, you might also find some winter crops on sale as farmers start to load in their summer offerings. Keep that in mind as your semester food budget dwindles.
The following meal (Meatless Greens with a side of Rye Toast) is a great urban green meal because it was sourced from a city farmers' market with regional farmers, which makes the food local and in season, and it also avoids problematic conventional meat products.
In my latest trip to the Union Square Farmers' Market in New York City, I bought an odd bunch of items, including collards, Amish pickles, organic rye bread with caraway seeds, onions and beets. These can come together to make a delicious and hearty meal that will make any exam period or essay infinitely more bearable.
The traditional southern 'greens' on which I grew up have a ton of meat and animal fats in them. My family preferred ham hock and bacon fat, which is actually as fat as you can get with a vegetable-based meal. So I experimented with a way to have the greens I love so much without all the saturated fats, and I came up with the below recipe. It involves red wine, so your friends should have no problem indulging.

Meatless Greens and a Side of Toasted Rye Bread with Carraway Seeds
Serves 4
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 cup of red wine
2 bunches of Collard greens, washed and coarsely chopped
2 cups of water
1 large clove of garlic, smashed
1 can of vegetable broth
5 asparagus spears, chopped
Salt, Pepper and Cumin to taste
1 loaf of rye bread with caraway seeds, sliced
Butter or margarine
Add the chopped onion to a large pot and sauté in the red wine on low heat until the onions have sucked up most of the color.
Add the greens in and about 2 cups of water. Make sure not immerse them because you will add broth and the greens will create their own juice. Bring to a boil and add the smashed clove of garlic. Add about half of the spices you intend to put in (any extra spices will do, but salt and pepper are a must).
When the greens mixtures boils, add in half of the vegetable broth, turn down the heat and let simmer for about half an hour. Stir occasionally and continue to add spices to taste.
Add the chopped asparagus, and continue to simmer until the greens are thoroughly cooked and at consistency you like! Don't let all the liquid evaporate. The total cooking time is just under an hour.
When it's done, eat with some toasted rye bread to soak up the juices. This recipe should last you the school week or feed yourself and a few friends. The greens will pair well the red wine you used to sauté the onions.

Setavap 2 Vapour Pressure Tester, 81000-2
The Setavap 2 automatic vapour pressure tester is used for the measurement of gasoline, solvents, light crude oils, and other similar products using the "Mini" method. Fully evacuated chamber technology guarantees that the sample is tested under a full vacuum, as required by the "Mini" test methods, unlike the expansion technologies that rely on moving pistons.
Methods: ASTM D5191, Correlates with: ASTM D323; ASTM D4953; ASTM D5482; ASTM D6378; IP 69; ISO 3007, EN 13016-1, EN 13016-2, IP 394, IP 409 (37.8°C), IP 481
All functions are accessed via a two button keypad and a rotary control. The digital display leads the operator through the test sequence, displays the instrument status and the test results. An audible prompt is sounded when an action is required from the operator.
A sample is injected through a septum into a fixed volume chamber that is maintained at 37.8 °C ± 0.1 °C. The vapour to liquid ratio is 4:1. The pressure is automatically measured at one minute intervals until three readings are within 0.1 kPa, which determines the end of the test.
Results can be displayed as total pressure (Ptot), dry vapour pressure equivalent (DVPE), EPA requirements, or Reid (crude) using pre-programmed correlation equations, and may be printed via the integral RS232 port and optional 81002-2 printer. A facility is included to allow two part tests (Pabs) to be conducted at 37.8 °C.

Even the trademark Works wash won't put a shine on a family legal squabble brewing at Mike's Express Carwash.
The privately held company and principals Bill and Mike Dahm, sons of founder Joe Dahm, are facing a lawsuit in Hamilton Superior Court brought by Jerry Dahm, a cousin who owned 35 percent of the company until May.
Jerry claims Bill and Mike fired him after 30 years and forced him to sell his shares in the company at an "unfairly low" valuation after Jerry sought to take out a bank loan using his stake in Mike's as collateral. Bill and Mike are now the only shareholders.
Attorneys for the carwash chain with 37 locations in Indiana and Ohio said in a response that Jerry Dahm has "distorted the facts" to make himself look like a victim.
At stake are a profitable and fast-growing business worth $49 million and real estate holdings valued at $24 million, documents submitted in the lawsuit show.
Bill Dahm, president of Mike's, said in an e-mail that the lawsuit is "totally without merit." He would not comment further.
Jerry, who lives near Fort Wayne, where Mike's was founded in 1948, did not return a phone message. His attorney, Brian K. Burke of Baker & Daniels, declined to comment.
Lawsuits where family and business mix can get particularly messy and disrupt business operations if they drag on too long, said Marcus B. Chandler, a partner at Barnes & Thornburg who advises growth-oriented companies.
"The only lawsuits uglier than divorces are business breakups," Chandler said. "The reason for that is you typically have more money to fight each other."
In nine out of 10 such cases, resolution comes down to valuation of the business and the manner of payout, Chandler said.
Jerry Dahm is asking for an independent appraisal of the value of the Mike's Express Carwash chain, along with a lump-sum buyout offer, damages and attorney's fees.
The trouble started in February 2009 when Jerry tried to take out a loan to cover "personal financial obligations" and sought permission from Bill and Mike to pledge his shares in the carwash chain as collateral. They said no, citing a ban on such encumbrances in a 1993 shareholder agreement.
The suit alleges that Bill and Mike took advantage of Jerry's financial difficulties to try to force a sale of his shares.
"Knowing that Jerry continued to be under serious financial pressure and that he had limited options to address his needs for funds, Bill and Mike secretly and unfairly planned to … reduce [the Mike's Express Carwash] level of distributions to shareholders that had been the pattern in the preceding years," the suit alleges.
He claims Bill and Mike "interfered" with an appraisal that put the value of each of the company's 600 shares at $81,667 in 2008, for a total company value of $49 million.
Negotiations toward a potential sale of Jerry's shares broke down in late 2009. Jerry was fired from Mike's in early 2010 after refusing to sign what the suit describes as an "overbroad unnecessary confidentiality agreement" relating to the potential sale of his shares. Jerry was a vice president for the chain.
The termination triggered a clause in the shareholder agreement that allows remaining shareholders to buy out a fired shareholder at fair-market value. Jerry did not attend the purported closing, and Bill and Mike had to set up a bank account on his behalf to receive the funds, the suit says.
As it stands, Jerry is set to receive payments totaling $17.1 million for his stake in Mike's. Of his 210 shares, 128 went to Bill, 80 went to Mike, and two went back to the company. Bill now owns 368 shares, and Mike owns 230.
Jerry still owns a stake in Dahm Property LLC, which owns the real estate where the carwash chain conducts business.
The real estate is part of the dispute as well: The property arm has been reducing the rent it charges Mike's as leases come up for renewal, effectively boosting the business value and depressing the property value.
The suit calls the rent reductions proof of a "manifest and severe conflict of interest," while the principals in Mike's say the reductions are simply a function of declining real estate values.
A response from the company says Jerry himself requested meetings to push a buyout of his interest in the carwash chain, failed to act honestly on tax obligations and other matters, and disclosed confidential information harmful to Mike's in his lawsuit.
"Defendants have chosen not to disclose all of the details and specifics of plaintiff's actions in this public document because, for their part, they appreciate the confidentiality obligations and respect the privacy of family business."•

Cinsault is a red-wine grape apparently originating in the Hérault area of the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France, though it could ultimately have come from farther away (the eastern Mediterranean). Nowadays, it is grown primarily (but not exclusively) in the Languedoc-Roussillon area of France, northern Africa (notably Algeria), South Africa, and the U.S. (particularly around Lodi). Its growth habit is such that it is especially well suited for hot, dry climates (hence its use in North Africa and even Lebanon).
Cinsault wines tend to be quite fruit-forward, strongly aromatic, lightly tinted, and of medium body and weight: "pretty", as Jancis Robinson describes them. The usual taste descriptors involve the lighter-red berry family. It tends to be low in tannins, and is usually best drunk while young.
Factoid: Cinsault was formerly known in South Africa as "Hermitage"; under that name, it became one of the two parent grapes (the other being Pinot Noir) of that country's now popular Pinotage varietal.
"Cinsaut or Cinsault is a red wine grape, whose heat tolerance and productivity make it important in Languedoc-Roussillon and the former French colonies of Algeria and Morocco. It is often blended with grapes such as Grenache and Carignan to add softness and bouquet."
"Cinsaut (often spelled Cinsault) is a dark-skinned grape variety traditionally used as a blending partner for Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre as part of the classic 'southern Rhone blend'. It is fairly unusual to see Cinsaut produced as a varietal wine, except as a rosé . . . Cinsaut vines have been grown for centuries in southern France, where it is one of the permitted minor grape varieties in the Chateauneuf-du-Pape blend. . . Cinsaut brings wines are generally low in tannin and generally used in blends for its perfume. It shares much in common with Grenache and at one time was grown for its generous yields. Light red berries are the most commonly associated flavor descriptors."
"[T]his particular grape is posh, feminine, hearty and produces some awfully good single varietal wine, even if she very rarely given the chance to strut her stuff solo. . . Which is a shame, because she truly does make a remarkable wine on its own - soft, supple, richly perfumed, and highly feminine yet still exceptionally drinkable. It sometimes makes you wonder what the wine world has against Cinsault, why it continues to sell the grape short again and again. . . The very first thing you're going to notice on a Cinsault is just how soft the wine is. It has a particularly velvety mouth feel and very little tannic pull to dry out your mouth. It is a feminine wine in just about every way, shape, and form. Flavor-wise, you'll get the same strawberries from the nose, but also some slightly darker red fruits: raspberries, currents, and Bing cherries moving from red into black. In older Cinsault and those from more drought-ridden Mediterranean climates, the flavors may be completely different – drier, hardly any fruit, a much meatier, saltier flavor to the wine with a darker cocoa or coffee-esque aftertaste. But those are generally rarer exceptions. From the more Old-World style Cinsault, it will be bright, light red berries and super softness along the tongue and mouth."
"Cinsaut is one of those 'grower' varieties that easily produces a very large crop of 6 to 10 tons per acre. At this crop level, it offers little sensory interest and imperceptible flavor distinction. So much cinsaut is overcropped and used as "filler" that it is difficult for many wine critics to issue it any respect. When properly managed to a crop load of just 2 to 4 tons per acre, it can produce quite flavorful wines with penetrating aroma and soft tannins, easily quaffable in their youth. . . Wine made from cinsaut grapes can be very aromatic with a vaporous perfume that assails the nostrils and supple texture that soothes the palate. Fairly low in tannin, it is often made into rosé by itself or blended, to brighten the fruit and tone down the harsher edges of carignan, in particular."
"In other parts of the world, Cinsault is treated today mostly as a blending grape. But Cinsault can be tasted on its own terms, alone in a bottle of wine, most readily from California. The Bechthold Vineyard might be the oldest living planting of Cinsault on the planet, and it certainly is in North America. Cinsault's spice, reminiscent of peppercorn and cardamom, and its bright red fruit does well with grilled vegetables, or grilled light meats like pork and chicken. But the wine also loves the creamy, distinctive flavors of a mild Thai curry, or the fried dough and potato-love-fest of samosa. After all, the grape is a world traveler. It likes to complement foods of many cultures. "
"Cinsault is also a charmer through its non-aggressive, soft, fruity aromas. The main notes encountered are peach, raspberry, gooseberry, pomegranate, strawberry and nectarine. By limiting Cinsault's yield, wine growers obtain wonderful wines of great personality that are rich, full-bodied and lush. Behind its brilliant, rose-petal color lie fruity notes. Wines made from Cinsault are at their most seductive when young. They are lively and full-bodied on the palate. When blended with Grenache, the strength of Cinsault's alcohol is tempered. When blended with Carignan, its [Carignan's] bitterness is attenuated. "
"When growers work with the variety and reduce yields, Cinsaut delivers floral and ripe strawberry notes."
"Cinsault is lighter in color than many of the other Rhone Varietals and in warmer temperatures can turn brick red not unlike Nebbiolo rather than the burgundy to purple color of most other Red wines. Its flavor, which is low in tannins, is often described as 'soft'. Cinsault is highly fragrant for a Red wine, which is why it is popular component in blends or added as a flavoring agent in Varietals. It's often made into a Rose wine. Because it is lighter in tannins, Cinsault is not suited for long bottle aging so it should be enjoyed between 5 and 7 years after vintage."
"A high-yielding, early-ripening, hot-weather red grape, generally used in blends. Cinsault tends to be low in tannin, and is often added to blends to add a spicy component. Not often found as a varietal bottling."
The preponderance of Cinsaults available in the U.S. are from California, mostly from around Lodi, and much of that from the one famous Bechtold vineyard. The problem is the standard one with unusual varietals made in the U.S.: they are scarce, and quite expensive when found. If we first take out wines over our arbitrary upper limit of $20, and then take out wines apparently (from wine search engines) available only from one or two retailers, there isn't much left in the way of monovarietal Cinsaults. (And even some of these are either uncommon at retail or right at the edge of the price range.)
For those willing to go at least a little higher in price, say up to $25, and to take the trouble to seek out hard-to-find wines, some other names to look for are—in no special order—Frick Winery Dry Creek Valley Cinsaut, Turley Wine Cellars Bechtoldt Vineyard Cinsault, and Phoenix Ranch Bechthold Vineyard Cinsault. And you may see others at retail, too; if so, the word "Bechthold" on the lable is a good sign.

At Lake street Playgroup we are embarked upon the Leading Aspect Award. This is a national award focusing on an area of our practice that has been highlighted as being exemplary.
Our Key Person Approach is the area that has been highlighted and is one of the vital principals in the Early Years Foundation Stage. It is a reciprocal relationship between a member of staff, individual child and their family. It provides the child with a sense of security so that they feel confident to explore their world and form further relationships.
The Key Person has an 'invisible elastic thread' of attachment to their key child, holding them in mind throughout their time at playgroup.
The role of the Keyperson is to know their individual child and to support their sense of identity and individuality. They need to be aware of their individual child's and family's needs, preferences and development.
The Key Person will usually be the person who welcomes the child and carer to the playgroup and helps to settle the child into the session. They would also be the main person providing the child's intimate care such as nappy changing, putting to sleep and physical closeness. Any information shared with the parents is also done mainly through the Key Person. The Key Person makes time to meet with parents and families to discuss the child development and learning and are available at parent get togethers such as parent mornings where you can also meet other parents.
As a Leading Aspect of Playgroup's practice this is an area of continuing development so that other settings can learn by our example, and so parents and carers can develop an understanding of the benefits to them and their child.
Playgroup submitted the application in February 2012 and we are receiving our assessment visit in February 2014.

The health of our democracy depends greatly on how well citizens discuss, explore, and develop public policy. Ideally, public policy choices will be based on citizens' and policymakers' careful consideration of reasonable alternatives and their likely consequences. Increasingly, in the real world, however, policy choices are made in response to crisis or in highly-charged political contexts. Frequently the opportunity for the development or consideration of meaningful citizen input is negligible, and the considered policy options are similarly underdeveloped and limited to a split-the-difference or the lesser of two evils approach.
In response to these challenges, the mission of the Interactivity Foundation (IF) is to enhance the process and expand the scope of our public discussions, thereby improving the health of our democracy and its development of public policy. That is, IF works to improve both the quality and quantity of the public discussions that shape the development of our public policy options. To do this, we've developed a small-group discussion process designed to help people collaborate in the exploration and development of a) the diverse concerns and values that relate to an area of societal concern, (b) multiple contrasting policy possibilities to address those concerns, and (c) the possible implementations and consequences of those policy possibilities.
Most of our work and discussion efforts can be roughly divided into 3 highly interconnected Focus Areas:
- Project (or "Sanctuary") Discussions – We convene two panels of selected generalists and specialists in a series of longer-term and closed (or "sanctuary" style) discussions to develop and explore multiple contrasting policy possibilities, which are then developed into a discussion guide.
- Public (or "Citizen") Discussions – We engage small groups of participants in a shorter series of more open-ended public discussions that help citizens review, consider, explore, further develop, and consider the possible implications of the policy possibilities presented in the discussion guide.
- Classroom Discussions – We also work with selected college faculty and other educators to adapt and use facilitated, small-group discussion processes in the college classroom, with the goals of both helping teach content more effectively and introducing students to an important democratic process and life skill.
