How do off-campus courses work?
Courses are delivered using DVDs or the web. In all cases, courses are supplemented with handouts, homework, tests, and instructor interaction. Once you have registered for a course, you will receive your instructional materials. When the course is completed, you are required to return the DVDs to Continuing Education.
What kind of schedule will I follow?
Off-campus courses for the 2014 spring session will begin January 29, 2014. This is approximately one week later than classes begin on campus. To finish the course within the current semester, it is recommended that you view the course media as if you were attending the class on campus, i.e. for a three-hour class, three class sessions should be viewed each week.
Each faculty member establishes a schedule for viewing lectures, completing assignments, and taking tests. When you register for a course, you will be sent a syllabus outlining the schedule for your particular course. If you do not complete the course by the end of the semester, you will receive an IP (in progress) grade (see the Graduate Catalog for explanation). Please register as early as possible to allow time for DVD duplication.
How do I register for a course?
Students interested in registering for a course must first contact Dr. In Soo Ahn, Chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering:
Dr. In Soo Ahn
Call: 309-677-2734
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Visit: 320 Jobst Hall, 922 N. Glenwood, Peoria, Illinois
Upon approval of Dr. Ahn, you may then move on to the registration process. Registration involves two steps: admission to the University and registration for the course.
Step 1 is to apply for admission to Bradley University. Follow one of the processes below that describes your current status.
• If you have been admitted to the Graduate School and are continuing in your graduate studies toward the completion of a degree, please check with your advisor before registering for a course. This will ensure that you are taking the correct course for your graduate degree.
• If you have not attended Bradley previously and plan to be a degree-seeking student, you should apply to a specific degree program. Generally the admission process requires four to six weeks and is accomplished by submitting a $35 ($50 for international applicants) non-refundable application fee. To apply to the Graduate School, visit the Apply Now website.
• If you want to enroll in a course without being admitted to a degree program at this time, visit the website for Non-Degree Seeking Students, or call the Graduate School at (309) 677-2375. Students in this group can apply a maximum of nine approved semester hours with grades of B or better to a degree program once a degree-seeking status has been established.
At the time of application or during the first semester of enrollment, you must provide the Graduate School with official transcripts as evidence of an earned bachelor's degree. Graduate students-at-large may enroll in courses for which they have met the prerequisites. Students who enroll in courses for which they are not qualified will be asked to withdraw. You should consult an academic advisor if you have questions about prerequisites.
Step 2 is to register for your classes. Once you have been admitted to Bradley University, you can register for a class. To register, please complete and return the registration form to Continuing Education no later than January 22, 2014. If your admission is in progress at the time you are trying to register, please email Debbie, or call (309) 677-2820.
What if I need to see an advisor or instructor?
If you need to discuss course or program matters with someone at Bradley, please visit the Contact Us link on the left. It will provide you a directory of people who can assist you.
How much is tuition?
Tuition for spring 2014, is $780 per semester hour plus a $175 technology fee per course. All tuition is due at the time of registration.
How are tuition payments handled?
Payment must be made at the time of registration and sent directly to Continuing Education. Please pay by check (payable to Bradley University), cash, money order, VISA, Discover, MasterCard, or American Express. Do not send tuition payments to the Bradley University Controller.
What happens if I withdraw from a class?
Financial penalties apply to students who drop a course after the published deadline. Please note that students who withdraw from courses may be responsible for a portion of the tuition depending on the date the course was dropped.
If a student drops the course in writing before January 29, 2014, no tuition will be charged.
If a student drops the course in writing on or after this date, tuition will be charged as follows:
Withdrawal during 1st week, ending February 5, 10%
Withdrawal during 2nd week, ending February 12, 20%
Withdrawal during 3rd week, ending February 19, 40%
Withdrawal during 4th week, ending February 26, 50%
Withdrawal during 5th week, ending March 5, 75%
Withdrawal after March 5, 100%
Any changes to drop, add, or withdraw must be made in writing to the attention of Sue Manley in Continuing Education. Please note that financial drop dates and academic drop dates are not the same.
While each instructor has his own method for handling homework and tests, the transit of these materials is done mostly via mail, fax, or email. You may send your homework and tests directly to the professor, or to Continuing Education. Materials sent to Continuing Education will be routed to the professor.
A proctor must supervise tests. Contact Continuing Education for instructions and assistance.
How are textbooks acquired?
Textbooks can be ordered directly from the Bradley University Bookstore by calling (309) 677-2320. Be prepared to tell the Bookstore staff the course name and number and that it is being offered off campus.
If you are paying with a credit card, be prepared to provide the bookstore staff with your VISA, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express number and its expiration date. If you are paying by check, you will receive your books once payment has been received by the Bookstore.
What are the bookstore hours?
The Bradley Bookstore is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, and from noon to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. If you need assistance, call the Bookstore at (309) 677-2320.
How do I get an ID?
Once you are admitted to the University, you are assigned an ID number. With this number, you are eligible to get a photo identification card. The photo ID also serves as a debit card called Quick Card which can be used to make purchases at several University facilities and campus-area businesses.
In order for you to get a photo ID, please call the Controller at (309) 677-3120 to set up an appointment.
How do I acquire a library card?
Occasionally, off-campus students visit our campus to utilize the facilities of the Cullom-Davis Library. Housing over one million items, the Library includes major collections of books, periodicals, government documents, and several computer databases. Off-campus students who have a Bradley photo identification card can utilize the Library facilities. In order for you to get a photo ID, please call the Controller at (309) 677-3120 to set up an appointment.

MERCED — Hard work, risk, technology and determination are finally bringing the Rim fire under control. There's a lot left to do, but a lot has already been accomplished.
Technology is assisting the effort in new ways, but the lion's share of the work is still being done by actual humans on the ground. Often working long past exhaustion for days on end, they are the heroes of this disaster.
Before modern technology, fire lookout towers were the first line of defense. A fire spotted early by an alert lookout had a greater chance of being extinguished.
At one time there were more than 500 lookout towers in California. Today, many no longer exist, some are abandoned, a few are available for rent as unique overnight lodgings, some are maintained but not regularly staffed and some are still actively manned during fire season.
Although new technology and a realization that fire serves a purpose in the forest have changed the way we approach handling fires, the tremendous accumulation of brush and dead trees in many of our forests make these fires unnaturally dangerous. Until we solve the problem of accumulated flammable materials, fires will continue to be unnecessarily destructive and quick detection will continue to be very important.
Lookout towers continue to play a role in local fire control. There are a number of lookouts in the nearby hills and mountains of the Sierra Nevada.
Part of what makes lookout towers great destinations are the views. Lookouts are generally situated on top of peaks that command impressive 360 degree views of the surrounding landscape. I started working on this story before the Rim fire broke out and several of the lookouts are currently inside areas that are closed to the public.
Active lookout sites generally welcome visitors during daylight hours and the lookout on duty can usually explain his/her duties and identify major landmarks visible from the tower. Some are staffed by volunteers, others by paid staff.
Merced County has only one lookout, located on Basalt Hill above San Luis Reservoir. This lookout is not accessible to the public. Mariposa County offers several that are. Most require some route-finding on unpaved forest roads. Having a forest map or a USGS topo is a must. Road signs are sometimes present at junctions, but often not.
Signal Peak: Also known as Devil Peak, this is my favorite local lookout. At the top of the Chowchilla Range, it offers impressive views of southern Yosemite and Sierra National Forest from 6,992 feet. It is staffed through the summer months. The most straightforward access is from Jerseydale. From Highway 49, take Darrah Road to Triangle Road.
Darrah becomes Jerseydale Road at this junction. Follow it to the Jerseydale fire station. Turn right and follow Road 5S25 for about nine miles to 4S31. 4S31 climbs towards Signal Peak. When you reach a junction, make a steep left turn on 4S31A for the final climb to the top. The road is pretty rough and requires high clearance and tough tires. At times, 4WD may be necessary, though I didn't have to switch it on when I made the drive in July.
Williams Peak: This abandoned site is my favorite lower elevation lookout. Although it's only 3,205 feet above sea level, it commands a great view of the foothills of Mariposa County, Lake McClure, the Merced River Canyon near Bagby, and the western edge of the granite Sierra Nevada. It's best on a clear fall or spring day when the road isn't muddy from recent weather. The tower itself is in pretty poor shape and the views can be enjoyed without risking climbing the stairs.
To get to Williams Peak, take Bear Valley Road 8.7 miles northeast from the plaza in Hornitos. Watch for Hunters Valley Road on the left. Two miles after you pass it, you'll be turning left on Hunters Valley Mountain Road. Shortly after you turn the road downgrades to a gravel and dirt surface, passable by all vehicles unless there's been a lot of bad weather recently. After passing a few homes, you'll be on BLM land. Drive a total of 2.2 miles from the turnoff and park when you see the road split with a metal gate on the left branch. The gate has a large metal "Williams Peak" sign, so there's no chance you'll miss it. Park nearby and walk the road beyond the gate it's about a mile to the summit.
Pilot Peak: The Rim Fire is currently being fought along Pilot Ridge and this lookout likely won't be accessible for some time. From Coulterville, follow Greeley Hill Road to Smith Station Road. Continue on Greeley Hill Road to Bull Creek Road and turn left. Just past the historical marker for Bower Cave, turn left on the Old Yosemite/Old Coulterville Road (2S01). After about 9 miles a sign should indicate a left turn on 2S04 to the lookout. The remaining drive is 1.2 miles.
This lookout offers spectacular views of Central Yosemite and Stanislaus National Forest from 6,009 feet. Before the fire, the road generally required high clearance, but not 4WD. Afterwards may be a different story.
Trumbull Peak: This abandoned lookout on the north edge of the Merced River Canyon may also be inaccessible for some time after the fire. The last time I was there was before the 2011 Motor Fire, and the road had a lot of brushy overgrowth. We made it in a full-size Chevy truck without having to switch on the 4WD, however, the truck still has some battle scars.
To find the lookout, follow the Pilot Peak directions, but continue on 2S01 for about 2 miles instead of taking the Pilot turnoff. At Five Corners (an obvious 5-way junction), take 1S12. After about 6 ½ miles, turn right on 2S20 for about 5 miles. There's a short walk to the lookout from the parking area. The drop-offs around the lookout are very steep and the tower and former lookout residence are unsafe to enter. Although the lookout is only at 5,004, the steep landscape makes it appear much higher.
Signal Peak is the best bet to visit this time of year. Williams Peak is an excellent fall destination. If you plan to visit the Pilot or Trumbull lookouts, call the Stanislaus National Forest for current conditions they probably won't be accessible again until next year or possibly even longer.
Stay tuned for additional nearby lookouts next week!

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor released the following statement regarding the Institute for Science and International Security's (ISIS) report on Iran:
"The report that Iran may be a month away from possessing enough weapons-grade uranium to build a nuclear bomb is extremely alarming. Whether a month or a year, Iran's determined march toward possessing nuclear weapons is a direct and grave threat to the United States and our allies.
"Iran needs to immediately end its systematic noncompliance with the repeated demands of the U.N. Security Council and International Atomic Energy Agency. For the United States, all options, including the use of military force, should be on the table to prevent Iran from acquiring the world's most dangerous weapons. We all want negotiations to succeed, but time is clearly running out."

A rally is scheduled today in support of a new YMCA/event center in Greenville.
The "Citizens For a Better Greenville" is promoting the $15 million bond proposal on the May 11 election ballot and is hosting the event, starting at 5:30 p.m. in the Landmark on Lee Street, 2920 Lee Street.
If approved by voters, the YMCA/event center could add as much as 7 cents to the property tax rate, although organizers of the project say they have received committments from several entities toward the cost of the facility which could reduce the potential tax burden.
Dr. Jerry Ransom has agreed to donate $1 million through 10 annual installments of $100,000 each.
When combined with similar pledges from other community partners, the funds are expected to reduce the overall taxpayer burden from 7 cents per $100 valuation to 3 cents.
Early voting for the election is scheduled starting Monday through May 7.

JERRY McBRIDE/Durango Herald
After some initial skepticism about its costs and timing, happy trails appear to be on the horizon for Durango Connect.
The event is intended to celebrate the Animas River Trail as a symbol of community unity since it became contiguous earlier this summer for the first time in its 36-year history.
At 10 a.m. Sept. 26, a Wednesday, organizers want people to form a seven-mile human chain across the length of the trail, from Dallabetta Park behind Home Depot in the south to 32nd Street behind north City Market in the north.
Organizers are seeking musicians, jugglers, magicians and performers to entertain the crowds for this very "Durango-ish" party, A film crew will fly over in a helicopter to capture the event for posterity.
"The completion of this trail deserves more of a celebration than the usual ribbon cutting," said organizer Jack Turner during a news conference Thursday. "So we volunteered to do the legwork and organizing."
Because Durango Connect comes just a month after USA Pro Cycling, when 25,000 people are expected for the start of a bicycle race across the Rockies, and the city lost $600,000 in revenue when voters rejected the La Plata Electric Association franchise agreement in April, officials like City Manager Ron LeBlanc and Mayor Doug Lyon have voiced concerns about the city's capacity to host the human chain.
But Cathy Metz, the city's director of parks and recreation, said Turner has "really made the event where it can be very doable by the city. We are fully supportive and participating to make sure it's a successful event."
She said that Turner "is getting donations for any hard costs. There is no real expense we're having to pay for."
The Durango School District 9-R expects to pay $1,000 in transportation costs to bus schoolchildren to the trail, said Victor Figueroa, assistant superintendent for student achievement.
Schoolchildren could lose up to two hours of their school day when the transportation time is factored in too, he said. The actual event is expected to take only five minutes, but organizers would like people to get to the trail by 9:30 a.m.
Figueroa said Durango Connect is an "easy fit" with 9-R's values for promoting community and the "healthy lifestyle" associated with getting outside and walking the trail.
Altogether, 5,000 school children, including students from private and charter schools, are expected to participate.
Other groups such as the Southern Utes and Manna Soup Kitchen have also committed.
"The great thing about this concept is that it's so simple, people getting together to form a chain," Turner said.
"The beauty of it is that a person in a wheelchair can form a human chain as well as an Olympic athlete," he added. "It does not matter if you're super rich or super poor, what your background is. Unless you're in jail or so sick you can't make it to the trail, you can be a part of this."
"There's no agenda other than that."

ALBANY – The leaders of the new "coalition" state Senate met in public for the first time Monday to promote a joint effort to help downstate communities rebuild in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy's destruction.
Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, a Republican whose Nassau County district was hit hard by the storm, and Sen. Jeff Klein, a Bronx Democrat, used the public gathering in the Rockaways in Queens to insist their coalition idea will work and to try to beat back growing criticism among minority lawmakers that last week's deal will deny influence to African American and Latino legislators.
"This coalition is not an exclusive club. It's open to anyone, Democrat or Republican, who's serious about governing," Klein said.
Black and Latino senators have expressed concern that the deal cut by Republicans, who did not win enough seats in last month's elections to hold onto the majority on their own, with Klein's Independent Democratic Conference blocked the chance from minorities in the main Senate Democratic conference from assuming power. The IDC group — until a black lawmaker, Malcolm Smith of Queens, joined on the same day the coalition deal was announced last week — was composed of four white lawmakers. The Senate Republicans have no black or Latino lawmakers.
Klein, in a session with reporters this afternoon in Queens that Skelos also attended, insisted the new coalition will consider the needs of all communities in the state. He said minority residents of New York will be helped by the IDC's push, for instance, of a hike in the minimum wage.
Klein said no decisions about committee chair or leadership positions have been made between him and Skelos, though Skelos recently said in an interview that Tom Libous, a Binghamton Republican, will remain as Deputy Majority Leader and John DeFrancisco, a Syracuse Republican, will stay as chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee come January.
"We've learned from the past as to what we should do to avoid dysfunction," Skelos said Monday. He said he and Klein have "looked each other in the eyes" and both agree the coalition plan will work. "Bipartisanship, moving this state forward, is going to happen," Skelos said.
The new Senate task force on Hurricane Sandy reconstruction efforts will be co-chaired by Sen. Andrew Lanza, a Staten Island Republican, and Smith, the Queens Democrat who for a short time a few years ago was the Senate majority leader. In an attempt to show it can work with lawmakers not part of the Senate coalition effort, Skelos and Klein named two lawmakers that are members of the main Democratic conference that will stay in the minority come January, including an incoming member from Queens, to the panel.

Heater Core Replacement
Has anyone had to replace a heater core on a TB/Envoy yet?
I have a nasty coolant smell and moisture (on the windshield and side glass) coming out of right side defroster and dash vents. There is a fair amount of coolant in the foam insulation for the heater core and A/C lines in the passenger side footwell but no wet carpet.
The Haynes manual shows a very involved repair including removing the dash, instrument panel and steering wheel(!) and my GMC dealer wants $925 plus tax!
Do the engineers who design this stuff ever think that someone may actually have to repair it someday?!
Any feedback would be appreciated and thanks.

RE: Heater Core Replacement
If you've got that a LOT of liquid, then it's the heater core for sure. They always seem to go out in the winter when you're using them a lot.
Did it break all of a sudden or was it over time slowly? I try to use the alumaseal stuff, that I know ... you're not supposed to use anymore ... but it's worked for me time and time again as a temp fix that even has lasted 6 months.

RE: Heater Core Replacement
Well, it's always worth a shot, there is maybe a 20% chance that it's just a slow leak or something and this might plug it up. I always like to try a $5 fix before I jump into a major repair.

RE: Heater Core Replacement
Thanks Steve. You're not the first to suggest this fix and I'll probably try it.
Still I'm concerned that I have a puddle of coolant collecting either in the heater ducts or under the carpet.
BTW, I noticed the nasty odor late summer. Wasn't sure what it was until I noticed the interior glass fogging up when it got cooler in the fall and put two and two together.
Re: Heater Core ReplacementOriginally Posted by mb73
I helped a friend with a heater core swap on his 65 mustang. After looking at disassembling the dash he decided to take the sawsall to the heater box at the firewall. It certainly was eaiser, but all these years later it seems like a shame to have butchered such a nice car.
PS Anyone who engineers a car so that it costs nearly a grand to swap out the heater core should be taken out an shot. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Good luck on that project. Let us know how it turns out.There is no way to happiness....happiness is the way.:yipi:

RE: Re: Heater Core Replacement
In an earlier life I had an '82 mustang in which the heater core popped and scalding hot water rushed onto my feet and legs. Fortunately, I was going to work and was wearing heavy leather boots at the time or I would have had 3rd degree burns on my feet. It was HOT. I got to work and had to route the heater core lines together, I seem to remember it was like 25F too and snowing, not a fun day.
Anyhow, if you try the alumaseal first, let me know. Otherwise, post about the heater core swap.
I had to replace one in my brother-in-law's furd truck a couple of years ago. Had to remove the dash to get to it. My neighbor had done one just like it a couple of months earlier and said it took him and a friend 8-9 hours. I did it by myself in about 4 hours. If you can find a step by step guide, it might not be as bad as you think.Gary

I had my Silverado in the shop this morning for 55k service and we were swapping stories and when I mentioned heater core r&r he said that the book quotes 8.5 hours for a Ford Taurus heater core, but that it takes 10hrs! :shock: :shock:
Had a 77 LTD II the heater core went on me, start to finish 5 min. and all under the hood.
Why they didnt keep doing it is beyond me, why no one else did it that way is also beyond me.

In an average week at Kennedy High, it is not uncommon to find a handful of students clustered in a vacant room, picking apart chicken sandwiches before eating them while watching videos touting the dangers of shaken baby syndrome or the importance of proper nutrition.
But this is not a specialized health class. Like many national, state and local programs, these weekly meetings allow teen mothers, both expecting and raising children, to gather and learn parenting skills in the hopes that they will not go the way of common statistics.
And although the classes are open to babysitters, teen fathers or any high school student who has contact with babies, they're heavily populated by teen mothers, fashionably camouflaging the physical effects of pregnancy.
Yajaira Briganty-Lugo was there once. As a pregnant 13-year-old, she split her duties between life as a student and her life as an expectant mother, in order to narrowly escape statistics that show only one out of three pregnant teens graduates high school.
But Briganty-Lugo said she learned some things from that experience, enough to discourage her from subsequent pregnancies and motivate her to provide for her son.
The second of three daughters to a strict Puerto Rican mother, who was first married at 17, Briganty-Lugo said, the only conversation she had with her mother about reproduction was devoid of explanations, but instead a mandate to not have sex.
"My mom was very strict," she said. "She was like 'you don't ask me questions about sex. If you like a boy, I don't want to know about it."
But she began having sex at age 12, after sleeping over a friend's house with her mother's permission.
A year later, Briganty-Lugo said the fact that she had a missed a few cycles didn't really register with her. She just thought it was natural. So when her older sister became pregnant and was no longer able to go to Puerto Rico for the summer, Briganty-Lugo took her place, unaware that she was pregnant.
"She knew my sister was active, and she didn't put her on birth control," she said, adding that there's a difference between condoning the activity and protecting a person.
It wasn't until Briganty-Lugo came back and her mother confronted her with a pregnancy test that she found out the truth.
"I never say my son's a mistake, because I wouldn't call him that, but it was an experience," she said, adding that her son took priority over after-school and weekend activities. "As soon as we got home, the babies were ours and I think that's how teens differ, because a lot of parents want their children to still be teens and graduate from high school."
That shift is what has Briganty-Lugo, establishment supervisor of the Montgomery County Office of Child Support, concerned about pregnant teens.
"I was scared and scared my son would go without," she said, adding that some teens she meets don't have the same perspective.
Briganty-Lugo, now 26, attributes that to her mother, 48, whom she saw work two jobs, while single, to provide for the family. So she endured the high school years of sharing a bedroom with her son, sister and niece and the late night feedings and screaming of her sister's baby in her mom's two-bedroom apartment.
"My baby was a good baby; he'd eat and go to sleep," she said. "My sister couldn't handle it. She would cry with her baby."
Now Briganty-Lugo said she tries to foster an open relationship with her younger sister, 15, and her son, 12, the way she wished her mother had.
"I tell her I'm proud of her every day," she said, of her sister who lives with their mom in Florida. "I tell her if she feels she needs to try something she can come to me and if we need to get the birth control on the side or whatever, that's what we'll do."
When it comes to her son, Briganty-Lugo says she is tough, but not unreasonable.
"I was 12 when I lost my virginity, and when I see my son, I'm like 'no, you shouldn't be doing that. No, don't do that,'" she said. "With my son, we have open communication. I think it's a matter of parents instilling in them that self motivation, that desire to work for more."
But she admits she has applied the pressure of pinky swearing to the conversation, in hopes that her son will not have sex before eighth grade. She is also quick to remind him that "there's a reason I had you, but you don't have to have a baby."
And although Briganty-Lugo graduated high school and has made her way into a line of work she enjoys, her life has not been without the personal drama with her son's father or a few failed courses in the pursuit of an associate's degree for her current position. She has even gotten married, but acknowledges the rarity of successes in teen mothers' lives, given the various factors.
"I really think it's personal. Your background of course has a lot to do with you can accomplish, but you can't put the burden on 'oh my mom beat me; my mom's strict,'" she said. "My advice is your child should be your focus and that should be your motivation. And I think that's something that has to come from within—your desire to want to give them more and be an example for them."

Prosecco the winner as retailers announce Christmas boom
- Thursday 10 January 2013
Prosecco: 'soaring sales'
Tesco said sales of Prosecco in 2012 were likely to be double those in 2011, while Waitrose wine buying manager Ken Mackay reported it as 'the biggest seller by far' in a 23% sales surge for sparkling wine over the Christmas period.
Majestic chief executive Steve Lewis told Decanter.com that sales of Prosecco had soared by 55% by value in the last seven weeks of 2012, while Champagne sales were flat and overall sparkling wine sales rose 22%.
Majestic reported overall sales up 5.1% over the same period, with like-for-like sales rising 1.1% – broadly in line with the company's performance over the rest of the year to date.
Lewis described the Christmas trading period as 'challenging', as many consumers delayed their shopping until the last minute – but added that this simplified the planning of stock and staffing levels.
Online sales, which rose 15% to account for 10% of Majestic's turnover, were now 'absolutely critical', he said: 'Without online clearly we wouldn't be performing as well as we are.'
Volumes of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc continued to be 'extraordinary', Lewis added, with Marisco-owned brand The Ned set to sell more than 1m bottles in this financial year.
Other big sellers included Argentinian Malbec priced at £6-12 a bottle, and French regions including the Loire, Rhone, Beaujolais and Languedoc, which Lewis attributed to 'younger consumers discovering France for the first time'.
Meanwhile, Waitrose had its strongest fortnight's trading ever in the last two weeks of the year, with English sparkling wine seeing an 80% sales spike, said Mackay.
However, supermarket rival Morrisons had a disappointing Christmas – like-for-like sales fell 2.5% in the six weeks to 30 December – but said it had sold 407,000 litres of Champagne, 18.5m litres of wine and 734,000 bottles of brandy in the two months to Christmas Eve.
Tesco will announce detailed Christmas trading figures this week.

11:05: The Sheriff's Office says the day care has been "completely cooperative and forthcoming."
Investigators are conducting interviews and reviewing video tape provided by the child care facility.
"We will release more information when we have a complete picture of what happened," according to the latest post by the OCSO on a Facebook thread. "Our foremost responsibility and concern was the safe return of the child, and there are also some privacy/legal issues intertwined with the case.
7:41: "We thank the ACCPD for the awesome teamwork tonight," the OCSO posted on Facebook. "Great job!! I also want to thank our own staff for pulling together like they did. The little girl is in good spirits, and Lt. Higgins bought her some chicken nuggets for supper."
7:29: Oconee County Sheriff Scott Berry told the Athens Banner-Herald Fluri will be charged with interference with custody of a child.
7:20: According to 11 Alive News, while the day care -- which hasn't yet been identified by authorities -- was in the process of verifying whether Fluri could take the child, she left with her.
6:20.: The child is safe and Fluri is reportedly in custody. Athens-Clarke County Police located the minivan on Milledge Avenue.
5:50: From the OCSO- "The child has not been found. We do not have a current location or direction of travel. We do believe her to be in the Athens/Oconee area."
Original (5:27 p.m.):
A notice on the Oconee County Sheriff's Facebook page:
A non-custodial parent just abducted a child from a day care center in Oconee. Suspect is a white female driving a 1999 red or maroon Nissan Quest minivan with a luggage rack on the roof. Tag number is GA: BXB0120.
Please call 911 immediately if you spot this vehicle.
The Sheriff's Office has identified the suspect as Shannon Fluri, 48. Athens-Clarke County jail records list her address as Mars Hill Road in Watkinsville.

I used to give a number of parties a year for various national and or religious holidays. My favorite memory of them was the Macaroni Salad that I used to make to serve with kosher fried chicken, fish or just by itself.
Everyone raved about it and requested it each time they were invited to my home. The unusual take on this recipe is that I add tuna, carrots and mayonnaise to the macaroni. It will be your favorite also once you make it. Your guests and family will request that you make it often.
It can be served with meat or dairy. My "mishugena" husband occasionally adds a touch of ketchup or lemon juice. This recipe along with the Pea Soup recipe is my granddaughter's favorite.
- 2 cups of macaroni
- Water
- 1 can of tuna in water
- 1 small carrot
- 2 tablespoons of Hellman's mayonnaise
- Salt and pepper
- Using a 6 quart pot, bring water to boil (fill the pot ½ way up).
- Pour in the macaroni, lower the heat to simmer.
- Follow the directions on the macaroni box for timing.
- When it is finished, rinse it in a colander until it is cold.
- While the macaroni is cooking, open the can of tuna and spill off the water.
- I then rinse the tuna a little with water.
- Mash the tuna with mayonnaise and grate the carrot into the tuna, using the very fine side of the grater.
- Mix the tuna, carrots and macaroni together.
- You might need more mayo. You have to taste it.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
You can arrange it on a bed of lettuce along with tomatoes and olives.
Serves: 2-3

I got around to watching the first episode of da vincis demons. A cameo by Lord Grantham and Thomas Boleyn, in all his scheming glory? Im there.

Also, Terrence Coombs
And can't wait for Hieroglyphs! I was a huge Egypt history nerd growing up - not that I expect this to abide by history, but I'm so watching. Sounds like good people involved in production.
Is there a reason, good or otherwise, that I am watching a re-run of Sleepy Hollow instead of the promised new episode?!
Was FOX not aware of when the World series is usually played?

March 12, 2013 — In a country in which outstanding classical music ensembles abound, Germany's Beethoven Orchestra Bonn is among the best. Founded more than a century ago, the orchestra has become a pillar of cultural life in Bonn and the surrounding region. In addition to symphony concerts, domestic and international tours, and recording, the ensemble serves as the official orchestra of the Bonn Opera House. The orchestra, led by music director Stefan Blunier, specializes in the music of Ludwig van Beethoven. The all-Beethoven program at Penn State features the incomparable Symphony No. 5 in C minor. Canadian pianist Louis Lortie, who studied with Beethoven specialist Dieter Weber and American virtuoso Leon Fleisher, is celebrated for his interpretations of Beethoven compositions. He joins the ensemble for the Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat Major.

Conservatives vs. Conservatives on Medicaid
PSN on April 27, 2013 - 10:01am
With more and more sessions drawing to a close, the latest count shows 15 states that have rejected expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, 20 that have agreed to comply with the law and expand coverage, and the rest still debating expansion. In many states -- including Florida and Ohio -- that debate is playing out in a contentious intramural fight among conservatives themselves. Conservative governors supporting expansion are running into opposition from ideologically opposed lawmakers in their own party, as the political debate over Medicaid increasingly appears to be taking place entirely on one side of the aisle:
The "unexpected consequences" for states that refuse to expand Medicaid include some that could make conservative lawmakers nervous. [AP]
Florida's legislature may be running out of time to expand Medicaid. [Kaiser Health News]
A House committee in Louisiana rejected a Medicaid expansion bill this week. [The Times-Picayune]
After removing it from the budget, Ohio lawmakers may not begin to resolve their Medicaid expansion debate until the fall. [Dayton Business Journal]
Hospital executives in South Dakota are pushing their state to expand Medicaid. [Rapid City Journal]

Some conservatives in Arkansas are threatening violence against Republican legislators who voted for the plan. [ThinkProgress]
Amazingly, an accidental vote may have doomed Medicaid expansion in Montana. [Washington Post]

Why sit back passively as the Pope is elected? Why let them blow smoke, pictured above, at you? Get involved!
Two sites that will help you do that:
1. Adopt-A-Cardinal. You go to this site and they assign you, at random, a cardinal to pray for. Buzz got a cardinal from the Netherlands with the greatest name. It is Willem Jacobus Eijk! Or Willem Jacobus Cardinal Eijk. We do not want our prayers to be tripped up by a technicality.
2. Pope Alarm! This site promises to notify you by email and/or text message the second the smoke turns white! As it says: "You may be asleep. You may be busy doing something else ... and miss the 'Habemus Papam'! (Latin for "We have a pope.")
Darn it all, Buzz cannot sign up. We tried. The site kept telling us that we were in error, that our number was already registered.
Bitterly, we complained to Howard, the guy we married.
He said, "The Pope probably signed you up already."

That is why the City of Santa Cruz has been actively working since voters approved Measure E in 2008 to identify and mitigate beach pollution through the following efforts:
· Investing $100,000 annually on cleaning local beaches and the removal of trash and debris.
· Spending $100,000 annually on public education and outreach including signage on local storm drains.
· Covering trash receptacles on the Santa Cruz Wharf.
· Diverting over 50,000,000 gallons of urban runoff during the summer to the wastewater treatment facility.
· Sweeping the wharf daily using a new street sweeper.
· Sifting and raking Cowell and Main Beaches regularly during the summer.
"These test results are unacceptable and we are exploring all actions to fix this problem," says Santa Cruz City Councilmember David Terrazas, who initiated a City investigation of persistent water quality problems at Cowell Beach. "Our community demands better and our beaches deserve better and that is why City staff, partners, and our entire community are working hard on solutions to protect Cowell Beach for today and for future generations," he said.
On April 9 the Santa Cruz City Council held a Special Study Session, where City staff and partners outlined a strategy to precisely identify the sources of pollution at Cowell Beach. Only a portion of Cowell Beach, directly in front of the Neary Lagoon pipe outlet, showed high bacteria counts. A broken private sanitary sewer lateral—a significant impact to Cowell Beach—was recently discovered about 1,000 feet from the beach and was repaired. Staff also outlined a plan to better isolate Neary Lagoon from Cowell Beach during the summer season, as animal bacteria generated from the lagoon habitat could also be a significant contributor to the overall bacterial counts.
"We (City Council) are encouraged by the recent steps staff have taken to mitigate problems at Cowell's," Terrazas continued. "Our beaches are a place where we enjoy time, teach our children to swim and surf and learn about nature. Protecting our ocean environment and our community's health will remain a priority."

By Kenton Brooks
Phoenix Sports Writer
Fort Gibson's Jake Gandara knew what was coming.
He was aware that Stilwell was going to focus on him, especially since quarterback and teammate J.R. Singleton had to miss the game because of an injury.
"That was going to put pressure on me to get the offense going," he said.
From the opening kickoff, the 5-foot-9, 185-pound senior thrived under that pressure as he ran for a game-high 200 yards on 21 carries in the 42-14 win against the Stilwell Indians to earn the Phoenix Player of the Week for the ninth week of the season.
And it started with the opening kickoff.
Stilwell kicked the ball out of bounds on the first two attempts, trying to keep Gandara from getting his hands on it.
"Coach (James Singleton) made them kick it again," Gandara said. "I wasn't mad when they kicked it out of bounds.
"Returning kicks is one of my favorite things to do. I enjoy it. I hoped they would kick it to me. I don't know why I like it, but there's just something about having the ball in all of that space to work."
The third time was a charm for Gandara as he fielded the kick on his own 22-yard line and raced 78 yards for a touchdown to jump start the Tigers.
"If I had been them, I would've continued to kick it away from Jake," the elder Singleton said. "Jake's a phenomenal talent. When we've needed some tough yardage, he's been there for us."
When the season began against Tahlequah, Gandara was nursing a high ankle sprain that limited his appearance on the offensive line of scrimmage. By week two against rival Hilldale, he was at full strength and raring to go.
"I'd get out there during practice and do some running and cutting," he said. "I also went through a little rehab. The ankle was weak against Tahlequah, but it's healed now."
After scoring on TD runs of 1 and 78 yards against Stilwell on Friday, he now has 1,370 yards rushing and 20 touchdowns.
"He has great vision and acceleration," the elder Singleton said. "He committed to getting in the weight room to gain weight so he could run better between the tackles. He put on 10 pounds and that's made a huge difference in his strength.
"He played at 173-174 pounds last season and he would kind of bounce outside on his runs. Now, he gets the tough yardage when we need him to do so. He's a complete back now."
Gandara and the Tigers put their 8-1 overall record and 5-1 mark in 4A-3 against Sallisaw (6-3, 4-2) on Friday at Leo Donahue-Tiger Stadium in the regular season finale. A win assures the Tigers a home playoff game.
James Singleton doesn't have to worry about his running back.
"Our expectations are really high for him on Fridays," the Fort Gibson coach said. "He rises to the occasion when we need him."
Honor roll
Jake Gandara, Fort Gibson – Rushed for 200 yards on 21 carries and rushed for two touchdowns on runs of 1 and 78 yards, while returning the game's opening kickoff 78 yards for a touchdown in the 42-14 win against Stilwell.

Frequently Asked Questions: Part I
Posted By Brett On May 3, 2010 @ 10:30 pm In Blog | 33 Comments
We get a lot of frequent questions about the site. I created a page that answers some of these questions, but a lot of people don't visit it, so I wanted to address some of these questions in a blog post. But instead of writing out a text blog post, I thought it would be fun to do it in video format.
Below, you'll find the first in a series of short videos answering some of the FAQs we get around here. In this edition, I talk about:
Let me know what you think!
Edit: I've been getting emails from people asking me where I got the shirt I have on in the video. I got it from TankFarm Clothing [1], the same gentlemen who design and print the AoM t-shirts [2]. I'm actually wearing Tankfarm shirts in almost all the AoM videos I've done. Dudes make nice, manly stuff.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — A woman and two of her sons were improving at hospitals on Sunday after they were seriously injured when a flight information billboard fell on them at an airport.
A third son was killed Friday when the electronic board, weighing at least 300 pounds, fell at the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport.
The boys' mother, Heather Bresette, had broken ankles and a crushed pelvis. She had surgeries over the weekend and was getting better, University Hospital spokeswoman Nicole Wyatt said. However, she was still in intensive care and unconscious.
"She does not know that her baby is dead," said the family's priest, the Rev. Don Farnan.
The Bresettes, a family of seven, took a weeklong vacation in Destin, Fla., and were about to fly home to Overland Park, Kan., when the sign fell.
Luke Bresette, 10, was killed. His brother, 5-year-old Tyler, suffered a concussion but was expected to be released from a children's hospital. His 8-year-old brother, Sam, had a broken leg and nose.
Luke was the middle child of the five. The father, Ryan Bresette, and another son and daughter, were at the airport but not injured.
After the sign fell, it took six people to lift the large board and a dozen people to hold it up while first responders administered aid.
