WICHITA, Kan. — A few summers ago, Matthew Vines had a whole lot of time and not much to do, so he created a Web site.

This summer, that site is his ticket to a grand adventure.

Matthew, the 17-year-old producer of Veritaserum.com, an internationally recognized Harry Potter fan site, is traveling the world as part of the official Harry Potter press corps.

He will be among the first in the world to see "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," the much-anticipated fifth movie in the Harry Potter series.

A grassroots movement to phase out inefficient light bulbs is gaining international strength. The movement is promoting the replacement of traditional incandescent bulbs with energy-saving compact fluorescents, a switch that activists say will help cut global electricity use and reduce harmful global warming emissions.

Fifty-five million light bulbs are sold every day in the United States. Most of these are incandescent bulbs in which electricity passing through a thin metal filament inside the bulb's sealed vacuum turns it white-hot and throws off light.

From wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

André-Gustave Citroën (February 5, 1878-July 3, 1935) was a French Jewish entrepreneur of Dutch and Polish descent. He is remembered chiefly for the make of car named after him, but also for his invention of double helical gears.

André-Gustave was the 5th and last child of the Dutch Jewish diamond merchant Levie Citroen and Mazra Kleinmann (of Warsaw, Poland). He was related to the famous British philosopher A.J. Ayer. The Citroen family moved to Paris from Amsterdam in 1873. Upon arrival, the diaeresis was added to the name, changing Citroen to Citroën. His father committed suicide when André was only six years old.
