A custodian at Fairfield Central High School was arrested Monday as Student Resource Officers (SROs) concluded an investigation into numerous reports of money missing from classrooms.
According to the Fairfield County Sheriff's Offices, investigators charged 38-year-old Andre Ross Jones of Calhoun Street in Winnsboro with larceny after video surveillance showed Jones taking the bait in a trap set by the SROs. The trap was set after officers received reports of $160 missing from a classroom on April 13. According to the incident report, video showed Jones entering and leaving the classroom in question during the times when the money disappeared.
Officers then devised a plan to catch the suspect in the act.
In the early morning hours Monday, officers arrived at Fairfield Central High School and placed four $20 bills in a desk drawer inside the same classroom. The bills had been photocopied beforehand and the serial numbers carefully recorded. Similar bills were also placed in another classroom, as well as the Media Center. A hidden camera was also placed inside one of the classrooms.
An hour later, after Jones had reported for work, video surveillance cameras showed him entering the original classroom and exiting two minutes later. Officers checked the room after Jones had left and found the planted money missing. The hidden camera inside the second classroom showed Jones going through a teacher's desk, counting the money that had been planted there, and then placing it back inside the desk.
A few hours later, Jones was confronted by investigators and school administrators. He was found to be in possession of three of the four missing $20 bills.
"There had been reports for a while of money missing from classrooms," said Brad Douglas, of the Fairfield County Sheriff's Office. "The SROs set up and conducted the investigation and did a real good job."
According to the incident report, Jones was placed on administrative leave until further notice. At press time, information on his continued employment with the School District was unavailable.

Tips for haircuts that will make you look thinner
Bangs and Side Parts are Slimming
Long, side-swept bangs are great for hiding a high forehead. Steer clear of blunt-cut bangs. Full, straight-across bangs will reduce the overall length of the face. Stick to wispy, side-swept bangs to perk your style up without compromising your efforts. Sweeping your bangs or any long layers diagonally to the side breaks up and softens a round face, and accentuates your cheekbones.
A side part will also help to de-emphasize your face's circular symmetry. The deep side part is a stylish way to wear your hair up or down, and can help elongate your face.
Avoid Pyramid Head
Add volume at the top of the head. It will draw the focus to your eyes as well as your forehead. Flat hair on the top of your head or "pyramid head" does not have any face-thinning qualities.
Use duck bill clips along with a diffuser to dry your hair. This will lift hair at the roots and add needed volume to the crown of your head.
Hair accessories can also help a hairstyle stand out and make you appear slimmer. Placement is the secret when it comes to using hair accessories to your advantage. If you place the hair accessories near the base of an updo or as close to the crown of your head as possible, you will achieve a more elongated look.

March 13th, 2011 at 9:20 pmLoved the article! And loved the haircut of the girl with the hair accessory. Do you know if there's any other views of her hair?

February 20th, 2012 at 3:37 amThis article is really interesting.Layers and razor cuts will make you look slimmer. Any kind of hair style covering your face especially long hair gives a slimmer look. Avoid the short cropped look.
chrissie22 Says:
June 28th, 2012 at 6:26 pmI agree with this – I have my shoulder length hair in layers and it makes my face look thinner. I used to have it cut really short and my face looked a lot bigger (my hair goes straight when its short too)

DISH issues statement on Sprint complaint
DISH Network (DISH) issued the following statement in response to Sprint Nextel's (S) June 17 allegations against DISH and Clearwire (CLWR): �Sprint�s lawsuit is a transparent attempt to divert attention from its failure to deal fairly with Clearwire�s shareholders, as well as to exploit its majority position to block Clearwire�s shareholders from receiving a fair price for their shares. DISH is confident that its superior offer, which has been unanimously recommended by the Clearwire Board, including the majority appointed by Sprint, will be upheld and Clearwire shareholders will be free to realize the 29 percent premium represented by the DISH offer.�

Clearwire (CLWR) announced that its board of directors, based on the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee consisting of independent, non-Sprint (S)-affiliated directors, has unanimously recommended that stockholders accept and tender into DISH Network's (DISH) cash tender offer to acquire all outstanding common shares of Clearwire at the previously announced price of $4.40 per share. The DISH tender offer has been amended and now is currently set to expire at 12:00 midnight, Eastern time, at the end of July 2, unless extended or terminated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the offer.

Clearwire holder Crest calls for board to open 'competitive bidding process'
Crest Financial Limited, the largest of the independent minority stockholders of Clearwire Corporation (CLWR), made public a letter to Clearwire's Board of Directors reiterating its view that DISH Network's (DISH) tender offer for all outstanding shares of Clearwire for $4.40 per share "is both actionable and superior in every way to Sprint Nextel Corporation's current offer of $3.40 per share." Crest noted that SoftBank's (SFTBF) increased bid for Sprint (S) confirms that SoftBank's desire for Clearwire's spectrum "has only increased." Crest urged the Clearwire Board to pursue a "direct, competitive bidding process for the Company." In order to pursue that process, Crest demanded that the Clearwire Board "reconstitute the Special Committee with truly independent directors, fully consider DISH's tender offer to the stockholders of Clearwire, and free the company from Sprint's grip by terminating the merger agreement following stockholders' rejection of the Sprint-Clearwire merger on Thursday."

Ex-MU players make Super Bowl
HUNTINGTON -- Super Bowl XLVII is being dubbed as the Harbaugh Bowl, but it could also be renamed as the Sup-Herd Bowl.
Between the two teams, Marshall University has six individuals involved -- four former players and two graduates who are Baltimore Ravens cheerleaders.
Each of the teams features two former Marshall players.
The San Francisco 49ers, who won the NFC Championship with a 28-24 come-from-behind win over Atlanta, feature former Marshall record-breaking wide receiver Randy Moss and former Herd safety C.J. Spillman.
The Baltimore Ravens, who earned the AFC title with a 28-13 win over New England in Foxboro, Mass., feature former Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year Albert McClellan and former Marshall safety Omar Brown, who is in his rookie season.
After a one-year retirement, Moss signed with San Francisco in the preseason and has 28 catches for 434 yards and three touchdowns in his 14th NFL season.
Spillman, who signed with San Francisco in 2010, has become one of the most heralded special teams players in the NFL, earning a nod as a Pro Bowl alternate in 2012 and has 11 tackles on the season as a gunner for the punt coverage team. He also recovered a muffed punt in the 49ers' win over Green Bay in the NFC Divisional playoffs.
The former Marshall free safety was signed as an undrafted rookie by the San Diego Chargers in 2009, but signed with the 49ers midway through the 2010 season.
For Baltimore, McClellan is in his second season out of Marshall and has 49 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble in the 2012 year. He has started 11 games this season for Baltimore, seeing action as both an inside linebacker and an outside linebacker.
Former Marshall free safety Omar Brown is in his rookie season with the Ravens after being signed as an undrafted free agent out of Marshall.
Brown, who spent much of the season on the practice squad, was called to the active roster late in the season. He has three tackles, including his first career sack, which came against Eli Manning in the Ravens' 33-14 win over the New York Giants on Dec. 23.
Baltimore also has two cheerleaders who are Marshall graduates. Jo T. is a former captain of the Marshall dance team from Damascus, Md., while Whitney J. grew up in Ravenswood, W.Va. The NFL team doesn't release last names of cheerleaders for privacy reasons, but both women are identified as Marshall graduates on its website, www.baltimoreravens.com.

County officials hope tax relief for developers will help stimulate the economy and save jobs.
The Manatee County Board of County Commissioners on May 19 voted 6-1 to approve to reduce transportation impact fees by 50% for the next two years, starting July 27 and ending July 27, 2011.
Reductions will apply to developments whose applications were received by the county on or after Jan. 1, 2009.
"I am not totally convinced this will do what the development community is hoping, but I'm willing to try it," Commissioner Carol Whitmore said.
The commission also approved a request by the Manatee County School Board to eliminate educational facilities impact fees for the same time frame.

Hi there,
first since this is my first post, I really appreciate everything going on with irrlicht. Of course I downloaded 0.6 yesterday and started playing with it (Especially with the meshviewer) right away.
Then I figured out when I modified the config.xml file that the program froze. (Debugging revealed it never finds the way out of the
while(xml && xml->read())
I also realized that the size of the modified config.xml is smaller (half to be excact). When I looked at the binary filecontens (using hexworkshop)
I could see immedeatly why, -> in the original config.xml there is a '0' byte
after every character, and that is gone in the modified one, probably by saving the file (with VC.net).
Conclusion: without the '0' characters it's not working, but I think they are not ok if any xml editor removes them.
I havn't checked the XML Reader code yet, and I think you guys can do this much better than me. But somewhere there you have a problem (maybe by writing and reading a 16bit instead if 8bit, or something like that).
Anyway I hope you can fix that soon, because I (and I think I'm not alone) like the XML feature a lot.
best regards

Series: "And God Saw That It Was Good": Death and Pain in the Created Order
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
Series: Shaping the Human Soul
In Washington DC, Church of the Advent teamed up with The Trinity Forum to offer a series of lectures exploring the synergy between modern science and Christian Faith. This presentation by psychiatrist Curt Thompson and philosopher James K.A. Smith addressed the process of Christian discipleship and spiritual formation through the lens of neuroscience.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Science and the Bible: Theistic Evolution, Part 3
As I stressed in my column about the YEC view, creationism is ultimately about theodicy—it's not only about theodicy, to be sure, but the belief that animals must not have suffered and died before Adam and Eve committed the first sin is crucial to the "young" in Young Earth Creationism. To a significant degree, Theistic Evolution is also about theodicy.
Body and Soul, Mind and Brain: Pressing Questions
"Bit by experimental bit," writes philosopher P. Churchland, "neuroscience is morphing our conception of what we are." For many, this includes dispensing with the "soul" in favor of biologically anchored processes.
Series: Southern Baptist Voices: Evolution and Death
This exchange brings together related essays on death in light of evolution and Scripture from Southern Baptist theologian Dr. John Laing. Laing argues that evolutionary theory requires death to play a central role in the creation of new life, but sees Scripture depicting death only "as an invader, disturber of peace, and a force of evil." A BioLogos response is given by Dr. Jeff Schloss.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Series: He Who Has Ears
Scholar and musician Jeff Warren addresses the questions of how music is meaningful, and where that meaning resides, by looking at the popular ideas that musical meaning is entirely subjective to the listener and that the meaning of music can be universal. He also explores the recent trend of attempting to explain music via neuroscience. Finally, he looks into the reasons why music continues to play such a critical role in the worshiping life of the Church.
Adventist Origins of Young Earth Creationism
Many evangelicals believe that Young Earth Creationism is the only authentic, biblical way for Christians to understand origins, and that until the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, it was the only view held by Christians. However, in this excerpt from Saving Darwin, Karl Giberson explains that Young Earth Creationism's origins are surprisingly recent.
A Pastor's Perspective on Death and Evolution
If death did not exist before Adam and Eve, how could God have used evolution to create man? And what about predators and natural catastrophes such as the mass extinction of the dinosaurs?
Beware Evolutionary 'Just-so' Stories About Religious Belief
As an evolutionary biologist I am fascinated by the emergence of cognitive abilities that make us so distinctive from other living species. There are, however, risks in making up evolutionary "just-so" stories to explain the origins of complex human beliefs.
Philip Yancey on "What Good is God?"
In this video "Conversation," Philip Yancey explains that on the way home from a trip to Mumbai, India, during which terrorists attacked the city, he began to form a list of the challenging situations he has experienced.
Series: How Could God Create Through Evolution? A Look at Theodicy
This series, written by Bethany Sollereder, seeks to address this question: "How could God create through a process that involves so much pain and death?" She first presents the two drastically opposite worldviews held by theologians and scientists. She also reflects theologically on how a world created through evolutionary means can be good, and concludes with some thoughts concerning the Fall, physical decay and spiritual death.
Are We Genetically Predisposed to Believe in God?
While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Series: The Flood: Not Global, Barely Local, Mostly Theological
The three part series, written by Paul Seely, explores the scientific validity of the Flood in Genesis. He offers the approximate date of the flood according to Scripture, and then looks at various lines of evidence that contradict the idea of a global flood at that time. In light of other Mesopotamian flood stories, scholars conclude that the flood was local at best. In the end, he suggests that this story primarily reveals theological truths from a limited scientific understanding of natural events.
Death's Resurrection
Death has occurred since the first breath of biological life (and some would say since the first "breath" of cosmological life), long before Adam inhaled. Ironically, therefore, death must be a part of God's good creation. Moreover, human death due to sin must be something different than the physical death we all die.
Word Games
"Why would the omnipotent Creator of the universe use such a wasteful (and cruel) process of survival of the fittest to bring about the higher forms of life? This view of 'theistic evolution' goes against God's very nature -- and logic itself."
Christian Geologists on Noah's Flood: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Geologists Davidson and Wolgemuth address the widely promulgated notion that the Flood can account for the earth's complex geology, and that all genuine Christians should accept this viewpoint.
Understanding Earth
When we read Genesis 1.1: "in the beginning God created the heavens and earth" we picture the origin of the atmosphere, space, solar systems, and galaxies. But in Genesis 1 "earth" does not mean the planet Earth.
How should we interpret the Genesis flood account?
Genesis 6-9 tells the fascinating story of Noah, the Ark, and the Flood. Some Christians interpret the text to mean that the biblical flood must have covered the entire globe. They also work to explain the evidence in rocks and fossils in terms of this world-wide flood. Other Christians do not feel the text requires that the flood be global, but could have covered the small region of earth known to Noah. The scientific and historical evidence does not support a global flood, but is consistent with a catastrophic regional flood. Beyond its place in history, the Genesis flood teaches us about human depravity, faith, obedience, divine judgment, grace and mercy.

Thank you for your original post! I was able to mine it for the Calendar

It is clearer to me than it was that these events are all not only FREE but general admission. So you can place your order - two tickets maximum per order - remotely, i.e. by phone or internet (rather than stand in line) until they're gone; the line to get on early may be the one at the door, so you can be near the front of the Oklahoma-land-rush-style seat-taking when the doors open.

Cavaliers: Kyrie Irving unveils 'Uncle Drew, Chapter 2' (with video)
It's almost become his alter ego.
Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving unveiled his Pepsi Max commercial, "Uncle Drew, Chapter 2," on Wednesday.
The video has gone viral.
His latest escapade features Irving as an old man on the basketball court with his former high school sidekick, Uncle Wes, played by Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Kevin Love.
Uncle Drew also sits down for a chat in the video with former Celtics' Hall of Fame center Bill Russell.
Russell, an 11-time NBA champion, imparts some knowledge of the game to Uncle Drew.
"My heart was pounding when I was talking to him," Irving said after practice on Thursday at Cleveland Clinic Courts. "He had so many stories.
"Sometimes I felt he was talking to an old man. There were some awkward laughs (with) some of the older jokes. 'I know what you're talking about, but not really.' He has a lot of wisdom. He's a really funny guy."
Credits at the end of the video say it was written and directed by Irving. Continued...
"I came up with the idea," Irving said. "Pepsi Max made it happen."
He said it was filmed at the beginning of September in Los Angeles and Lakewood, Ohio.
"We started at 8 in the morning and I took a red-eye flight back here (from LA) at 11," he said.
The makeup staff did a great job with Love in the video.
"He made it more funny," Irving said. "People didn't expect him to be in it. It was a great video to make."
The 6-foot-3, 191-pound Irving got to know Love while working out with the U.S. Olympic team this summer in Las Vegas.
"He was a great first-time actor to work with, honestly," Irving said. "It's a little weird saying that. I feel I have a little experience with acting. I was giving him some tips. I told him to be in character, and he was. He did a phenomenal job."
Uncle Drew and Uncle Wes show up to the basketball court and dominate.
"Everyone knew who I was," Irving said. "That was the whole point. They, obviously, didn't know who Uncle Wes was (or that he was) going to be there with me."
In the script, Irving didn't specify that his teammate was going to be a guard or a big man. Continued...
"Pepsi Max picked Kevin Love," Irving said. "I had it written out. We were debating if we wanted another guard or a big man."
Irving, 20, said it takes four hours of makeup to become Uncle Drew.
He admits Uncle Drew has been in his mind waiting to come out.
"(My) inner me?" he said.
He said the idea came from a YouTube video he saw about an old guy who shows up at a skate park and does all these amazing tricks.
"He ends up breaking the skateboard and walks away," Irving said. "Everybody's reactions are just hilarious. There were hidden cameras all over the place.
"That idea came from that. What if we did this with basketball? Guys have done it before but it was kind of a different nuance with it, a whole different story line."
The first video came out last summer.
"After the response we got on the first one, we had no choice," he said.
When he's on the court now, other players brings it up. Continued...
"They call me Uncle Drew," he said. "It's a blessing to be known on the court and off the court."
Don't be shocked if there's a third chapter.
"You'll never know where Uncle Drew will show up next," he said.
Quick shots
-- Center Micheal Eric said he's turned down a couple offers to play overseas. He said he's planning to sign with the D-League Canton Charge. He was waived in the Cavs' final cuts last week.
-- The Bulls are already playing without former Most Valuable Player Derrick Rose, who had left knee surgery. Kirk Hinrich, who has been starting at point guard, is listed as day-to-day with a strained right groin. If Hinrich can't play, 5-9 Nate Robinson could start at point guard.
-- The Cavs have lost nine in a row to the Bulls, including their last four at home. In the teams' first meeting last year at The Q, the Bulls won by 39 points, 114-75. Rose didn't play in that game or in the regular-season finale on April 26, 2012. Irving has yet to face off against Rose, and obviously, it won't on Friday. "You always want to play against the best," Irving said. "That's why I came into the NBA. It's a great Chicago Bulls team. Whether he plays or not, you come into the game with the same mindset."
-- Cavs coach Byron Scott is looking forward to the Anderson Varejao-Joakim Noah matchup on Friday. "Andy is playing against a guy that plays a lot like him and vice versa," Scott said. "That's always going to be a great battle. Those two guys never stop. They're just full of energy and they're going to play one way." Varejao had nine points, 23 rebounds and nine assists in the opener, while Noah finished with 23 points, 10 rebounds and five steals.

The Golden Eagles will practice each Tuesday, Thursday and Friday over a five-week period with the culmination of the team's annual Black and Gold Spring Game, which will be held Saturday, April 20.
Southern Miss returns 49 total letterwinners from the 2012 squad including four offensive returners and nine total returners on defense, including 2012 All-C-USA honorable mention teamers lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches and cornerback Deron Wilson. On special teams, three returners are back from the squad.
Practices are set to run from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Due to possible weather conditions, the site of practice may move to an alternate location from the Park Practice Facility.
Southern Miss looks to tentatively hold scrimmages each Friday, beginning March 29. Please note that there is no practice on Friday, April 19th, as the final of the 15 NCAA mandated practice days will end with the spring game the following day.
The Golden Eagle workouts are open to the public. Fans wishing to gain access to practice will have to show a valid identification to sign in. Cameras, cell phones and note pads are not permitted at any of the practices. Any violation of this policy will cause immediate removal from the practice site.

French Jura Attractions
The French Jura, roughly corresponding to the old province of Franche-Comté, lies in eastern France, bounded on the west by Burgundy and on the north by the Vosges, though compared with these areas it is relatively unknown to tourists.
Ronchamp, France
Ronchamp (pop. 2,965) is world-famed for Le Corbusier's chapel of Notre-Dame-du-Haut (1950-1954), on a hill above the town). It contains an ancient image of the Virgin (festival on September eighth). Ronchamp also has an interesting mining museum, the Maison de la Mine.Built towards the end of Le Corbusier's career, the Chapel of Notre Dame, Ronchamp, is highly sculptural and will be a surprising departure for those used to his earlier more cubist-inspired projects. Situated on the crest of a hill, it replaces a former chapel destroyed during the war. It is a compact building with massive reinforced concrete roof. The walls are of the same structure, curving inward on themselves to define smaller chapels and are covered in rough textured plaster punctured by an intriguing and seemingly random collection of slot windows. These windows are of colored glass filling the darkened space with ethereal light from jewel-like sources.
Cascades Hérisson
The river Hérisson, rising at an altitude of 805 m/2,640ft, forms a series of waterfalls on its way down the valley - though these can dry up completely after a long period of drought. The finest of the falls are the Grand Saut and, at the end of the gorge, the Cascade de l'Eventail. The best starting- point for a visit to the falls is Doucier, from which D326 leads to a parking lot; then on foot to the falls. The Col de la Faucille (1,323m/4,341ft), between Gex and La Cure, is the most important pass over the Jura, carrying the road into Switzerland (N5). From the pass there is a cabin cableway up Mont- Rond. From its two peaks (1,534m/5,033ft and 1,614m/4,296ft) there are magnificent panoramic views of the Jura.
St Claude, France
St-Claude (pop. 13,000), a town noted for the manufacture of pipes, with an interesting Pipe Museum, is one of the leading tourist centers of the Upper Jura. Its principal attraction is the Cathedral of St-Pierre (14th- 15th C.), which was completed only in the 18th C. with a square tower and neo-classical west front. It has fine choir-stalls (mid 15th C.) and a notable altar. Originally belonging to an abbey which was destroyed during the French Revolution, it is one of the finest churches in the Jura. The Diamond Museum displays a collection of both rough and cut diamonds and precious stones and illustrates the process of cutting and the industrial use of diamonds.
Arc et Senans, France
Arc-et-Senans is noted for the former royal salt-works, with the imposing neo-classical buildings designed by Claude-Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806), who was commissioned by Louis XV to create an ideal industrial town. His ambitious plan provided for a circular layout, only half of which was completed. Five pavilions and two large storage rooms are grouped around an administrative building. The salt-works closed down at the end of the 19th C., and the buildings are now occupied by an interesting Ledoux Museum of architectural plans and models, as well as a salt museum.
Colombey de Gex
One of the finest viewpoints in the Jura is the Colombey de Gex (1,689m/ 5,542ft), near the Swiss frontier. It is reached on a road which runs south from the Col de la Faucille and a footpath which takes off from the road; the ascent takes about two hours. From the summit there are fine views of Lake Geneva and the Alps. 4km/2.5mi northeast is Mont-Rond.
Crêt de Chalam
The Crêt de Chalam (1,548m/5,079ft), which rears above the Valserine, is another fine viewpoint (to the east the Jura hills; to the southeast Mont Blanc, visible in clear weather).
Génissiat Dam
The Génissiat Dam (1948) has formed an artificial lake on the Doubs which powers a hydro-electric station. The lake extends back for 23km/14mi to the Swiss frontier. The whole complex is a triumph of French hydraulic engineering.
Cirque des Baumes
Three km/2mi south of Baume-les-Messieurs is the Cirque des Baumes, with an interesting cave.

Dole, France
Dole (pop. 28,000), situated just above the junction of the Doubs with the Rhine-Rhône Canal, was the birthplace of Louis Pasteur, who left the town at the age of five. The house in Rue Pasteur (formerly Rue des Tanneurs) in which he was born is now a museum, with mementos of his parents and displays illustrating his scientific achievements. Other features of interest in the town are the church of Notre-Dame (16th C.; tower 75m/245ft high), 15th-18th C. houses in the old part of the town around the church, the Hôtel de Froissard (16th-17th C.), an old Carmelite convent and the former Jesuit Collège de l'Arc, now a school and museum of painting.
Maison Natale de Pasteur
The birthplace of Louis Pasteur has been turned into a museum that gives a summary of Pasteur's career.
Poligny, France
Poligny (pop. 4,518), lying in a rich agricultural region, is noted for its Gruyère cheese. The church of St- Hippolyte has fine 15th C. statues of the Burgundian school. Behind the church is a convent of Poor Clares founded in 1415. In the Grande Rue are handsome old houses with carved doors (17th C.). The church of Monthier-Vieillard, which dates in part from the 11th C., has an altar of 1534, a 14th C. Crucifixion group and sculpture of the 13th and 15th centuries.There is a Cheese Museum illustrating the processes of cheese production.
Chateau de Voltaire, Ferney-Voltaire, France
7km/4mi northwest of Le Lignon, in French territory (bus services, on a road which passes under the runways of Cointrin airport in a tunnel), is Ferney-Voltaire (pop. 2,000), once a potters' town. To the west of the little town is the château which Voltaire acquired in 1758 and later enlarged, where he held court until shortly before his death (mementos). Above the former chapel is the inscription "Deo erexit Voltaire". In front of the Town Hall is a statue of Voltaire by Lambert.
Salins-les-Bains, in the narrow valley of the Furieuse, is noted for its brine springs, which were already being exploited in Roman times and are still used for medicinal purposes. A tour of the workings, 250 m/820ft underground, is an impressive experience. The town still preserves remains of its old walls. The church of St-Anatole (13th C.) is a fine example of Burgundian Gothic. In the 18th C. Town Hall is the 17th C. chapel of Notre-Dame-la-Libératrice.
Baume-les-Messieurs, France
The village of Baume-les-Messieurs, picturesquely situated at an altitude of 320m/1,050ft under a chalk cliff, grew up round an abbey founded by the Irish monk Columban in the sixth C. The famous abbey of Cluny was founded by Benedictine monks from here in 910. The Romanesque-Gothic church (12th-15th C.) has a beautiful Flemish triptych (16th C.) as well as fine sculpture and a number of tombs.
Ornans, France
Ornans (pop. 4,300), in the valley of the Loue, was the birthplace of the painter Gustave Courbet (1819-1877); the house in which he was born is now a museum. It is an attractive little town, with old houses and a 12th C. church, originally Romanesque, which was altered and enlarged in the 16th and 17th centuries and is richly furnished.
Baume-les-Dames, France
Baume-les-Dames (pop. 5,407), formerly called Baume-les-Nonnes, owes its name to a convent founded in the seventh C. for ladies of noble birth. The old abbey church has been restored. The church of St-Martin, in the Place de la République, was rebuilt in the 17th C.

Molain - Moidons Caves
The Grottes des Moidons were discovered in 1966 and opened to the public in 1989. They are located in a nature reserve in the Jurassian forest, with numerous rooms and galleries. There are gigantic stalagmites and columns as well as pools and even a light and sound show.
Pontarlier, France
Arbois - Planches Cave
The Grotte des Planches was inhabited in prehistoric times and still contains remains from the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods and the Bronze Age. The cave has numerous galleries with a series of laces and giant cauldrons.
The industrial town of Audincourt (pop. 15,537) on the Doubs has an interesting modern church (by Novarina, 1951) with stained glass windows by Fernand Léger and mosaics by Bazaine.
Baume-les-Messieurs Caves
The Grotte de Baume-les-Messieurs has been opened to the public since the late 19th C but did not operate officially until 1929. The cave is 120m long and filled with thousands of stalagmites and stalactites, and even waterfalls.
Divonne-les-Bains, France
Divonne-les-Bains, situated between the Jura and Lake Geneva, is an important spa, with springs (6.5°C/43.7°F) which were once used by the Romans. Divonne has a racecourse and a golf course.
Divonne Festival
This annual two-week festival takes place in late June and includes various concerts of chamber music, ranging from solo performances to chamber orchestras and string quartets. There are usually 15 organized events, all of which take place at the 19th C Theater.
Gex (alt. 628m/2,060ft; pop. 3,200), 12km/7.5mi below the Col de la Faucille, is a popular medium-altitude resort, conveniently close to the mountains and to Geneva. From Place Gambetta there is a fine view of Mont Blanc.
Nozeroy, France
The picturesquely situated little place of Nozeroy (pop. 450) has preserved its old-world aspect, with two town gates, a 15th C. church, old houses in the Grande Rue and the Clock Gate, the last relic of the Château des Chalons.
Jura Region
The region of Jura features a number of grape varieties that cannot be found anywhere else in France, including the black Poulsard, Trousseau and the Savagnin.
Château d'Arlay
The Château d'Arlay was built in classical style in the 17th C. It originally served as a monastery in the village of Arlay, but was renovated in 1830. Today it is a museum and one of the best estates of the Jura.

Women's Basketball: Ross fires away in Swarthmore's ECAC South title win
Madeline Ross made sure that Swarthmore's second-ever trip to the ECAC South title game would be one to remember.
The senior scored 22 points as the second-seeded Garnet upset top seed and host Moravian to claim the program's first ECAC title, 67-62, Sunday.
Ross was 9-for-19 from the field, including a vital 3-pointer with 7:59 to play that extended the Garnet's lead to six points, and added six rebounds. Swarthmore (23-7) led the entire second half, Moravian coming within a point on five occasions before Ross's triple gave the Garnet all the cushion it would need.
Katie Lytle paired 13 points with 18 rebounds and five assists en route to earning tournament Most Outstanding Player honors. She scored 21 points and pulled down eight rebounds in Swarthmore's semifinal win over Washington and Jefferson Saturday.
Delaware 62, Drexel 57
Elena Delle Donne posted a double-double with 28 points and 10 rebounds, and Lauren Carra scored a season-high 21 points to help No. 18 Delaware beat Drexel to tie a school record with 21 straight wins.
Drexel's Rachel Pearson (Archbishop Carroll All-Delco) answered with a 3, but Carra and Delle Donne combined to make five free throws over the final minute while the Dragons (20-8, 13-4 CAA) went scoreless.
Archbishop Carroll All-Delco Hollie Mershon paced Drexel with 26 points on 11-of-30 shooting as Drexel saw a four-game win streak snapped.
Dayton 73, Saint Joseph's 66
Archbishop Carroll All-Delco Erin Shields poured in a career-high 28 points, including 7-for-12 shooting from 3-point range, but it wasn't enough for the visiting Hawks (20-8, 11-3) to prevent No. 12 Dayton from finishing off an undefeated Atlantic 10 slate and clinching a league title. Continued...
Cardinal O'Hara All-Delco Natasha Clouded added 17 points and five assists, and Chatila van Grinsven paired eight points with nine rebounds for St. Joe's.
St. Bonaventure 71, La Salle 58
Shanel Harrison recorded a double-double with 22 points and 11 rebounds, and Ebonee Jones contributed 13 points as the Explorers (8-21, 4-10 Atlantic 10) dropped a road contest.
Fordham 58, Temple 44
Victoria Macaulay scored 18 points and grabbed nine rebounds, and Sally Kabengano had eight assists to go with her 10 points, but the Owls (12-17, 5-9 Atlantic 10) scored just 17 points in the second half en route to a senior-day loss.

Occupy Bradford protesters explain why they are camping in city square
8:10am Thursday 3rd November 2011 in Bradford By Tanya O'Rourke
On the eve of a court hearing which could see Bradford Council reclaim possession of a part of Centenary Square from the Occupy Bradford group, the Telegraph & Argus talked to the protesters about what motivated them to set up camp there.
A core of about 20 people are present at the Bradford protest – which is one of 900 across the world including those in Wall Street, New York, and at St Paul's Cathedral in London.
The Bradford group, which set up its tents and marquee on Friday, has no leader. Meetings are held regularly where people can express their agreement or otherwise, with decisions through sign language.
Andrew Wild, 26, who has a degree in theology, said: "We're not anti-capitalists. Some of us are, some of us aren't. What we share is a feeling that economic and political institutions are being run by a small elite who control the wealth and the flow of wealth.
"This is causing problems for 99 per cent of people at the moment who are having services cut back, who are struggling to live on less and who are increasingly becoming angry because they feel their voices are not being heard."
He said first and foremost the group wants to encourage conversation, between themselves and the authorities, and with people who want to share their stories.

S&P downgrades Abbott Labs credit rating
(AP) — Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered Abbott Laboratories Inc.'s credit rating Friday as the company prepares to split in two.
Standard & Poor's lowered its rating to 'A+' from 'AA' because Abbott Laboratories will have smaller cash flows and less business diversity after separating the pharmaceutical business into a separate company. The new rating is still investment grade, six notches above "junk" status.
On Thursday Moody's Investors Service raised Abbott's outlook to stable from negative, ending a review for a possible downgrade. Moody's maintained an 'A1' rating, also six notches above non-investment grade status.
By the end of 2012 Abbott will separate into AbbVie, which will focus on branded drugs, and Abbott Laboratories, which will have a more predictable business built around nutritional formula, generic drugs and heart stents.

Maine's unemployment rate continues to hover around the 7.5% rate, as it has for the last year, according to the Maine Department of Labor. The preliminary, seasonally adjusted rate was 7.5%, little changed from 7.4% in May and 7.6% one year ago.
The number of unemployed totaled 52,900, down 800 over the year. Labor officials said unemployment rates and job estimates have been somewhat volatile in the last few months related to conflicts between employment estimates and payroll data. Annual revisions are likely to show smoother changes.
The U.S. unemployment rate was 8.2%, unchanged from May and down from 9.1% one year ago. The unemployment rate for New England was 6.8%; rates in other states were 5.1% in New Hampshire, 4.7% in Vermont, 6.0% in Massachusetts, 8.1% in Connecticut and 10.9% in Rhode Island.

Home Automation and Remote Controls are cool. Really cool. Think back to the days of The Clapper (which you can still buy, by the way). Clap on, clap off. We have come a long way though. Now we have Internet-connected gadgets, gizmos, appliances and devices, hopefully all designed to make our lives easier, safer or simply better. The Belkin WeMo is a perfect example of how this Home Automation technology has evolved to become mobile and programmatic.
Recently I hooked up a Belkin WeMo Switch and Motion Detector in my home. Before I go into the details of that process, I have to say that I'm a guy who hated when I saw a VCR (remember those?) with a blinking clock. I'm all about programming and using technology ahead of time or setting it up to make what you are currently doing better. I have placed wireless remotes for lamps around the house. I obviously set up shows to record on my DVR. I even automate a little bit of my social media sharing (not much, mind you). There are tasks that you can automate that can save you a few minutes during your hectic day here and there. That is what automation (and remote controls) are all about. And with all of this different technology, it allows us to be a bit more lazy (in a good way, hopefully).
Let's start with what the WeMo is. It's a device that you connect to your home WiFi network and to an electrical device that you want to control whether it is on or off. Once you set up your connection (which I will go into later), you use your mobile phone with the WeMo app, to turn on or off that electrical device. Let's say you have a lamp connected to the WeMo plug, from another room or across the globe, once you have everything connected, you can turn that lamp on or off at will. Pretty handy, right?

Why does Neon gas sometimes glow brilliant white ? |

Why does Neon gas sometimes glow brilliant white ?
I was recently pulsing a coil at fairly high voltages (200-600VDC) using DC squarewave, at fairly high frequencies (100Hz - 1.3KHz). The output of the coil had a Neon bulb attached. I wasn't measuring current output at the time. At one point, i don't remember the frequency or voltage, the Neon bulb glowed a brilliant white, with a purplish edging. This lasted a few tens of seconds then the bulb blew. Until this point, as far as i knew, the emission spectrum for Neon included only orange/red/green and purple at 450nm. Can anyone explain this ? Thankyou, DC. |

Very bright light of any color can look white to the eye.
This description, though, sounds like how you can get something glowing "white hot". You'd see less of the reds if the gas cannot return to it's ground state and the mixture would shift to the blue end ... when you get a roughly even mix of reds, greens, and blues, you'd get something that looks white. See the available colors below: |

Thank you Simon.
The colour it had was purplish, so i'm thinking around the 450nm range. Here is a picture i took before the bulb blew : I see what you mean now, of course, red, green and blue are its primary emissino spectra so a mixture of thtese is white. Thank you very much for clearing that up :) Gary. |

That's a good pic - yeah: the actual color is mauvey implying you just have lots of the blue transitions - which would be expected for very bright light (you get lots of all the colors but you wouldn't normally get enough blue to notice.)

Ah, great, thank you again :)

I had a very similar experience years ago. There was no current limit on the neon bulb and it suddenly began to glow with an intense white light. I stopped it before it blew itself up, and found the electrodes heavily fused and damaged. From this I concluded that what I had seen was a high-pressure metal-ion plasma discharge from the electrodes. This explained the colour and intensity.
Jan22-13, 01:38 PM | #7 |
That's interesting, i've been wondering what material the electrodes are made of and can't find anything on the web.
My current was limited to 2A but i think it happened at around 1.6A.The seup i was testing with developed transient spikes of around 600V but the current was only 150mA on an analogue meter so i'm still puzzled. I forgot to say i had two diodes (1N4001) on the coil output, one on each leg and both facing in the opposite direction to each other. All the best, DC. |
Jan22-13, 03:24 PM | #8 |
I am not an expert but even 150mA at 600 volts or more likely more is 90 watts in the electrodes and the space between them. And neon bulbs are tiny. Add to that the effect of that current hitting the tiny electrodes at 600 v. What did your neon bulb electrodes look like afterwards? I suspect if I had let mine run to failure either the glass would have melted or the electrodes would have fallen off at the junction with the glass.
Jan22-13, 04:22 PM | #9 |
I binned the bulb when i realised it wasn't working, it had blackened on the inside but i didn't examine the electrodes.
I'll do it again tomorrow and see what happens to the electrodes. All the best, DC. |

When the voltage is such that current jumps the gap the light is purple. The normal operation of a neon sees the gas around just one of the electrodes glowing orange. (One electrode if DC; alternating the electrodes if AC.)
I seem to recall that some gases give different colours, depending on the pressure in the tube. Can't say whether Ne is one such though. |
Jan23-13, 06:18 AM | #11 |
Thanks Nascent :) So one electrode is active if on DC and that is orange, both electrodes are active alternately in AC and that is orange, but both active at the same time (arcing) gives purple.
I wonder if that's because the arc is effectively a short-circuit so the current is at it's maximum. That would imply the colour changes only when the current exceeds a certain value. DC. |
Jan24-13, 05:01 AM | #12 |
The blackened bulb implies that metal vapour was condensing on the coolish glass envelope, or the electrodes were sputtering the glass. Given short burn time both imply the electrodes were burning away. If the light was broad spectrum it implies a broadening of spectral lines commonly seen in high pressure discharge lamps such as sodium street lamps, not something the neon would have done by itself. Certainly when I experienced it the light was unbearably intense, lighting up the whole room brightly, and an actinic white. Seems unlikely it was from neon gas.

After I constructed my first ham radio receiver, I found I could elicit nice purplish flashes by discharging its HT condensers through a neon bulb with the current-limiting resistor shorted out.
Though hefty, these current bursts were of short duration. My mistreatment didn't seem to harm the tiny neon globe. Further note to what I said earlier.... you can use the neon to determine the polarity of a DC voltage (of suitable volts), and to distinguish AC from DC. |
Jan24-13, 06:35 AM | #14 |
I see what you mean about the HPS lamps.
And what a handy property of Neon with the AC/DC detection. Seems that tungsten is the most common material for filament electrodes, it has a melting point of over 3K degrees though. |
