The Blog Link
This is one of those compromises you make that bum out some of us, but help out many. Hopefully you can still find your way here...
(From the comments) I hear your concerns about moving the link, i really do. And believe me, no one wants to leave it in the subnav more than me. But (a) it's not like its gone or invisible, it's just not in the subnav. Truth is, being at the bottom links puts it on every page of the site, and not just here in community, which could be interpreted as a good thing (although i understand many people don't notice those). (b) it's not that we want to make it harder to find, its just that people who visit the community tab for the first time are getting confused about what this part of the site is about -- and the blog (as well as RSS, etc.) is confusing. Some don't know what a blog is, or they think that community MEANS contributing to a blog... anyway, our testing has shown me that where it is now is sending a confusing message, and by moving the subnavs, i'm hoping to get more people interested in community (the goal is more community interaction, not a larger audience for the blog). We'll find the right spot for the blog link in time, and it might even go back where it was. But we have learning to do first. Moving it (like so much of what you guys have tolerated over the past few months) is just a step. I'm glad to hear that many of y'all think it's a bad move. Duly noted.

While you are moving things around, will you be making it easier for people to find the Privacy Setting? It is by far the most difficult to find setting. As far as I can tell there is no way to get to it from the Your Account page which is where most people would look for settings.ReplyDelete
You tout the ability to opt-out of the community, and then hide the option on the most obscure page on the site...
Well, there's a big 'set privacy' button at the bottom of the Community page, but I spose only people who check their 4 sim%'s would see that. There was talk of consolidating all the option settings onto one page, as well as having them where they'd logically be (as per the proposed re-shuffle) - is that still in the works? Also, to Baff's point, maybe 'privacy' and 'set privacy' on the 'help' page should take you there, as well as 'set your profile' on the accounts page?ReplyDelete
It seems odd to gear a site to 'newbies' - it often takes awhile to figure out exactly how to navigate a site, but once someone has, surely that's the person, the day-in-day-out frequent user, who needs to be accommodated?
And finally (i promise), if it's confusing to some people that clicking 'community blog' takes them to (ta-da!) the community blog , then sticking it in tiny letters at the bottom of the page would hardly seem to be the best way to relieve their addled state of semi-consciousness.
I apologize for this being totally off topic, but wasn't there a post from Michael where we could put suggestions so they'd all be in one place? I can't seem to find it anymore. Or maybe I just dreamed it in the first place. :)ReplyDelete

I wish you guys would increase visibility of the Friends page. Many of my friends forget that it exists. They never click on the Community Tab. Please promote it more on the front page and send out an e-mail to all users. The point of having the Friends feature is to connect with Friends and talk about what we're watching. But how can they access this if it's buried in the Community section, where few people even visit? Thanks for listening. You guys are doing a good job, but I've been frustrated about this Community/Friends feature for weeks now.ReplyDelete

What's the purpose of having a "community blog" and then hiding it from the very community it claims to be part of? I don't know about other users, but I only look at the bottom-links when something's wrong and I need to contact Netflix. That's a bad move, literally.ReplyDelete
Alrighty....I guess I prefer the tabs at the top of the page-where most of the tabs for the rest of the site are located. Seems pretty straightforward and easy to navigate to me. This new change you are talking about will perhaps confuse more people than help them-especially when talking about the Profile & Blog button moves.ReplyDelete
Perhaps instead of the Movie Privacy tab-it could be a Privacy Tab (and page) that could contain all the privacy settings in one place, including profile.
I don't know, perhaps I am not understanding you correctly or something, but it just doesn't sound like a step in the direction you wanted to go originally.

Oh, you're right! The "Ask Mike" post was what I was thinking of. Not what I was hoping for, but a really helpful thread, none the less.
I thought that one of the "problems" with this blog was that only hard-core power users knew about it. I thought the goal was to get more average Netflix users to discover this blog, participate and share their thoughts as well.ReplyDelete
Moving the Community Blog link to the bottom of the page will only guarantee that the majority of Netflix users will never find this blog, and therefore never have the opportunity to share their thoughts on Netflix. This will also make it easier and easier to "write off" the opinions expressed in this blog as only accounting for a small fraction of a percent of the Netflix community at large.
I think it's a bad idea.

Sirrah, I think that maybe you should take Sundays off from now on, because, with sincerest respect, you just don't seem to do your best thinking in downtime mode! The blog desperately needs new, fresh voices, and this will -- just as the always- on-point Ms Monkey said -- just lock-in the current relatively small, constantly recycling, stunningly brilliant, but somewhat repetitive gene pool.ReplyDelete
- M. TrippSeptember 9, 2007 at 7:09 PM
Sorry, redundant. Written before reading your response to the howls.ReplyDelete
meh, I'll just put this blog in with my many blog/forum links so I can find it for sure. I learn of the changes that go on from here, so I try to pop in from time to time.ReplyDelete
Speaking of the Community area, one thing I would like to see addressed is the Watched list on the Friends page. I wish there was a way to better control which movies show up on that list. I'm often afraid of rating movies I didn't like and hadn't seen for a long time because I know it will show up on that list and make people think I would see that movie these days. What I do now is re-rate other movies I'd prefer to be bumped up on that list (switch from 5 to 4 stars and then back), but that doesn't always work so great.ReplyDelete
It would be nice if there was some kind of way for me to be able to rate a movie to bump up my ratings count without having it featured so prominently for everyone else looking at my movies list. I wouldn't necessarily want to hide that rating from someone looking at all my ratings, though.
It's easy to get impatient with people who are easily confused. But don't most of us have parents or grandparents who are at the age where everything in life is a bit more difficult? Content and function aren't being eliminated. Life will go on as normal for everyone who already uses the functions mentioned. The website will be easier to use for those who need it kept simple. I don't see the loss or harm.ReplyDelete
If the blog should be promoted, there are other ways of doing it than having a button on a page that people learn to ignore as irrelevant. HTML e-mails come to mind.
I know that you're trying to simplify and pare down to a 'one site fits all' as satisfactorily as possible (ie without the dozens of enablings and disablings that we're all clamoring for), but once your grand opus is finally rolled out and functioning as you'd like it to, how about adding a tab simply called 'site features' (or similar). In effect a user's manual that briefly explains each feature, page and link so newbies and power-users alike can take full advantage of the site, perhaps avoiding some of the confusion and frustration that you speak of?ReplyDelete

Basic reality: I am much more likely to invite friends that I already know are Netflix members. Others on this blog have already made this point. Otherwise, my conversion rate is going to be low and I'm just wasting time sending out invites that my friends might find annoying.ReplyDelete
I don't really care about the silly semantics of whether you call it a social network or an online community, it's really a question of improving the USER EXPERIENCE, and giving me the Facebook-like tools to find out which of my contacts are already Netflix Members would definitely improve YOURS TRULY's member experience.
Keep up the good work, and I like the friends and faves concept too.

I just want to point out that if this community blog was placed in an obscure link at the bottom of the page i never would have come here. The only reason i clicked on it was because it was at the top and i was curious.ReplyDelete
As for how visable the links at the bottom of the page are i didn't even realize that there were links at the bottom of the page, much less ever clicked on one.
If you put a "learning" page, before people continue to the blog it will make the community more aware and will improve the blog response with people who believe since its there they have to participate. It will also help people understand what a blog is for people who do not know. The problem is that when you click on the blog link, you go straight to the blog without any information of what a blog is.ReplyDelete
You may also may want to have a "terms and conditions" information, letting people know that even though this is not part of netflix website, it follows the same rules or something to that effect.
I do understand that they may be more than what is really needed, but it may work too.
I rather like Amit's idea of having a page on the Netflix site that "introduces" the community blog. Clicking on the blog tab would take you to this page -- it would be less jarring and confusing because the user remains on the Netflix site, and the confusion would go away with a few simple bullet points of explanation. Then there would be a link to the actual blog from there.ReplyDelete
The blog tab at the bottom of the nav page hangs when I try it...is anybody else having this trouble?...or am I juz lucky?????ReplyDelete
@Obie - No, my link seems to work fine. Wish I had better news for you.ReplyDelete
Re the 'learning page', there's already a perfectly good description of the blog's purpose in the right hand column. Maybe that could just become a header, so that it's the first thing people see? Clicking through another page every time would be very annoying.ReplyDelete

I'm kind of surprised by the comments here. Sure, the blog will be harder to find. But I like having it linked from a more central location that appears on all sections of the website. There's a lot discussed here beyond "Community" issues. I say get the blog out of its pigeonhole! (For what it's worth, I found this blog via HackingNetflix, not from the Community tab).ReplyDelete
Also, I think there's wisdom in keeping the Netflix website streamlined and to me it makes sense to keep the subnav focused on customer tools. Surely the folks who visit the blog represent a skewed slice of Netflix's customers (and competitors) -- "power users" of one sort or another. Who else would want to delve into the minutiae of %Sim? Surely most customers just want to *use* features not discuss them? To me, it makes sense to group the blog link with other pages ABOUT the company. This is just a more participatory way to learn about Netflix :)

Companies often post a re-direct notice when they change something around on their sites. How about, for now at least, having a "Community Blog" tab that opens a pop-up telling people where it's moved to. After a while (say, a month) anyone who wanted to find it will have done so, and others who are just curious won't suddenly find themselves in some strange unfamiliar place and call customer service in a panic/rage (which I assume, from what Michael said, was what was happening?).ReplyDelete

Emancipation Proclamation: Freedom in Washington, DC
Today's blog post comes from National Archives social media intern Anna Fitzpatrick.
Nine months before President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, he signed a bill on April 16, 1862, that ended slavery in the District of Columbia. The act finally concluded many years of disagreements over ending "the national shame" of slavery in the nation's capital.
The law provided for immediate emancipation, compensation to loyal Unionist masters of up to $300 for each freed slave, voluntary colonization of former slaves to colonies outside the United States, and payments of up to $100 to each person choosing emigration. Although this three-way approach of immediate emancipation, compensation, and colonization did not serve as a model for the future, it pointed toward slavery's death. Emancipation was greeted with great joy by the District's African American community.
The white population of DC took advantage of the act's promise of compensation. One month after the act was issued, Margaret Barber presented a claim to the Board of Commissioners for the Emancipation of Slaves in the District of Columbia, saying that she wanted to be compensated by the Federal Government, which had freed her 34 slaves.

Emancipation Proclamation: My Dear Wife
Today's blog post comes from National Archives social media intern Anna Fitzpatrick.
During the Civil War, the government moved slowly but steadily from an affirmation of the Constitutional protection of slavery to its complete abolition with the Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment. This change was in part forced on the Federal government by the growing numbers of enslaved people who fled and sought protection behind Union lines.
John Boston, fleeing slavery in Maryland, found refuge with a New York regiment in Upton Hill, Virginia, where he wrote to his wife who remained in Owensville. At the moment of celebrating his freedom, his highest hope and aspiration was to be reunited with his family.

Emancipation Proclamation: Flight to Freedom
Today's blog post comes from National Archives social media intern Anna Fitzpatrick.
Before the Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves, many men and women in bondage ran away from their owners to freedom. These escape attempts were dangerous, and not all of them were successful. Abolitionists sometimes helped slaves in their flight to freedom, like these two men in the case of the escaping slave Jane Johnson and her children.
Jane Johnson and her two young sons were enslaved by John Hill Wheeler, the U.S. ambassador to Nicaragua. While on his way to South America, Wheeler brought Jane and her sons to New York and Philadelphia. Once the three slaves were in Philadelphia, abolitionists William Still and Passmore Williamson helped Johnson and her two sons escape to Boston.
Wheeler petitioned the court to have Williamson return his slaves. In the Writ of Habeas Corpus commanding Williamson to return Jane and her sons, Williamson stated that he was unable to do so:

Emancipation Proclamation: Petitioning for Freedom
Today's blog post comes from National Archives social media intern Anna Fitzpatrick.
January 1 marks the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. While this document is remembered for freeing the slaves in the Southern states, petitioners had been attempting to end slavery since the nation's founding. Petitions by anti-slavery groups were sent to the newly elected Congress soon after it first met.
On December 30, 1799, the Reverend Absalom Jones and other free blacks of Philadelphia sent a petition to Congress. Although they recognized the "blessing" of their freedom, they were concerned about their fellow men: "We cannot be insensible of the condition of our afflicted Brethren, suffering under various circumstances in different parts of these States; but deeply sympathizing with them, We are incited by a sense of Social duty and humbly conceive ourselves authorized to address and petition you in their behalf."
Jones and the petitioners noted that the Constitution "is violated by a trade carried on in a clandestine manner to the Coast of Guinea." They also mentioned that the Southerners' practice of kidnapping free African Americans and transporting them to … [ Read all ]

Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on display in New York City
The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation. . . . In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free—honorable alike in what we give, and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best, hope of earth. President Abraham Lincoln, 1862.
Two original versions of President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation will be displayed together for the first time in the Schomburg Center in New York City from September 21 to 24.
This is a rare opportunity to see the signed draft that is part of the holdings of the National Archives. This document represents the transformation of the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation from intent to action. On September 22, 1862, Lincoln's handwritten draft was transcribed, affixed with the Seal of the United States, and signed by him. The Proclamation now carried the force of law.
The Proclamation had been in development since the summer. In July 1862, President Lincoln read his "preliminary proclamation" to his Cabinet but decided to wait for a Union military victory to issue it. On September 17, 1862, over 6,000 Union and Confederate men died at Antietam in the bloodiest day in American history. Thousands more were wounded or missing. It was also the 75th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution.

Above all, this twink boy masturbating here is maybe not doing it for the first time in his life (even absolutely). But I bet this teen boy cum experience is Colin's first one – for you and for the camera. Now that we have watched many twinks cum and pose for us, it is pretty easy to say who of these teen boy cum performers is a first-timer and who of them is just a bold twink boy masturbating for the first time ever. So, I bet Colin has never done his teen boy cum work in public. Agreed? Or what?

Nightly Grades 2.13.13: Spurs' Kawhi Leonard sinks Cavs
Each night, Eye on Basketball brings you what you need to know about the games of the NBA. From great performances to terrible clock management, the report card evaluates and eviscerates the good, the bad and the ugly from the night that was.
|Paul George
|The All-Star put up star numbers in Indiana's 101-77 win over Charlotte. George went for his first career triple-double -- 23 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists and was a game-high plus-28.
|Toronto Raptors
|Raptors win again? Raptors win again. That's now four straight and this one was a good one, coming over the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
|Kawhi Leonard
|Thirteen points, 10 rebounds and a game-winning 3 with 2.9 seconds left against the Cavaliers. Boom, bang, boom.
|Dion Waiters
|He hit the big shot that seemed to be a game-winner with under 10 seconds left to beat the Spurs, but then got completely lost defensively and allowed Leonard to get a clean look from 3. Ah, rookies.
|The Celtics-Bulls game in general
|If you're looking for gross, this was your game. The final score was 71-69 in favor of Boston. The Celtics scored eight points in the third quarter ... and won. Why? Because the Bulls scored only 13. Check this: The teams combined for 21 points on 10-of-42 shooting (23.8 percent) in that third quarter. Combining the second and third quarters the Celtics scored just 19 total points. So gross. But it was at least close.
|Rudy Gay and Carmelo Anthony's offense
|Maybe you could just say they played great defense on each other, or maybe they were both horrifically off. Gay went just 4 for 21 for 11 points and Melo was 5 for 24 for 12. That's 9 of 45 for 23 points. Yuck.
|Portland Trail Blazers
|Just a pathetic showing against the Hornets. The Blazers got whipped 99-63, with New Orleans missing Eric Gordon. Can't do that if you're a team fighting for that eighth playoff spot.

Make way for a baby Angel! Brazilian catwalker Alessandra Ambrosio, who hit the runway at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show just two months ago with her superhumanly flat abs blazing, has announced that she's about four months pregnant. This means, of course, that she was already eight weeks along when the VS runway extravaganza taped on November 9.
This will be the 30-year-old Angel's second child with fiancé Jamie Mazur. The pair already have a three-year-old daughter named Anja, whose model-approved name and obviously awesome genetics likely guarantee her a supermodel future of her own. We're thrilled for the expecting family, though this news (and Alessandra's nonexistent bump at left) makes us feel little better about the plates of holiday leftovers we've been putting away this past week.

Disposable or Cloth Diapers?
&& our love made it 3. <3
Isabella Nicole made her way into this world on July 23rd, 2012.
My precious 32 weeker.
mc @12 wks 06/04/12
I used disposies for my first 2 kids then with my 3rd once he moved into size 3s he kept breaking out from all the disposies so we switched to cloth. It's really not as hard as you may think. I do the dry diaper bag for holding the dirty diapers until laundry day. I also highly recommend getting a diaper sprayer if you can get one on your toilet, makes cleaning those nasty poopies so much easier! Sunning for stains and/or leftover odors. I do the pocket diapers and I do like them :-)

We did cloth for our first and will use it again for our second. The diapers, and covers especially, have come a long way from the plastic pants that our parents used. I personally find the smell of disposables to be offensive, particularly when wet or poopy. Poop still stinks, but it's poop, that's why you change it.
The laundry isn't big problem for us. It's a few extra loads week and it's not like I have to do anything other than throw the load in and push a few buttons. We use prefolds so there's no folding or stuffing pockets involved.
Stains don't bother me. Baby clothes get stained too, heck my own clothes get stained, but that doesn't mean they're not clean and it doesn't stop me wearing them around the house.
Cloth isn't for everyone, but it's something that I'm really glad that we do.

These investigations have been performed with a bundle of state-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques in the field of quantum materials, namely: angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), resonant elastic X-ray scattering (REXS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and optical spectroscopy. To support experimental data, we have used theoretical tools such as conventional density functional theory (DFT) for the 5d-oxides and developed ad-hoc approaches for the more complex 3d-materials. The all-around study of underdoped high-Tc Bi-based cuprates allowed us to shed new light on the universality and origin of charge-ordering instabilities in these materials and understand their interplay with superconductivity and pseudogap. These phenomena have been investigated in detail in underdoped samples of Bi2201, using a various experimental techniques (ARPES, REXS, XRD, LEED, STM) and various tailored theoretical approaches. The results of these studies are presented in Chapters 2 and 3. In the 5d-based iridates (in particular, Na₂IrO₃) we have revealed and characterized a novel form of Mott-Hubbard physics. This has been possible thanks to the combination of ARPES and optics for probing the electronic structure near the Fermi energy, and DFT for providing the theoretical framework to understand the electronic ground state in these materials. Ultimately, this approach helped demonstrate the crucial role of spin-orbit interaction in driving a novel Mott phase in materials where the Mott criterion might be violated (Chapter 4). Altogether, the resulting phenomena discovered in copper- and iridium based oxides have revealed novel unconventional aspects of the physics of correlated materials, thus paving the way for future explorations of the complex but fascinating jungle of transition metal oxides. 2013-12-18T00:00:00Z Studies for the PIENU experiment and on the direct radiative capture of muons in zirconium http://hdl.handle.net/2429/45648 The branching ratio of pions decaying to positrons and muons R = (π→eυ + π→eυγ)/(π→μυ + π→μυγ) has been calculated with very high precision in the Standard Model of particle physics. So far, the theoretical value of R = 1.2352(1) x 10-⁴ is 40 times more precise than the current experimental value of R = 1.230(4) x 10-⁴. To test this variable with respect to deviations from the Standard Model, the experimental precision needs to be improved, which is why the PIENU experiment aims at a precision of less than 10-³, i.e. an improvement of an order of magnitude over the current precision. At this level, mass scales ∼ TeV/c² can be probed for evidence of new pseudo-scalar interactions. The data collected with the experimental setup also allows for a search of sterile neutrinos. When determining the branching ratio, various systematic corrections are applied. The largest among these is due to electro-magnetic shower leakage out of the calorimeters and radiative decays. It was calculated to be (2.25 ± 0.06) % in this thesis. In the second part of the thesis, an experiment on the direct radiative capture of muons in zirconium is described. One theoretical extension to the Standard Model involves a new light and weakly interacting particle in the muon sector which does not conserve parity. This can be studied experimentally with polarized muons that undergo the direct radiative capture into the 2S state of a medium mass target nucleus. During this capture, longitudinal muon polarization is conserved and the muons instantly undergo the 2S-1S transition emitting a second photon. Studying the angular distribution of this second photon indicates whether or not the process is parity violating, which would manifest physics beyond the Standard Model. The direct radiative capture of a muon into an atom in the 1S or 2S state has not been observed yet. Therefore, data was taken in 2012 to study the radiative capture of muons in zirconium. The analysis method of this data set is described with a blind analysis technique. 2013-12-17T00:00:00Z Novel backlighting techniques for high dynamic range displays http://hdl.handle.net/2429/45644 High dynamic range (HDR) displays use an array of ultra-bright individually tunable light emitting diodes (LEDs) as a backlight for common liquid crystal displays (LCDs). Through local dimming of LEDs, this combination can show images with very bright highlights while maintaining very low luminance values in dark areas. Current HDR displays, however, have limitations associated with displaying images that have spatially uniform luminance levels: a periodic pattern arising from the underlying pattern of the LEDs behind the LCD is perceptible in the image. The effect of new point spread functions (PSF) on the uniformity and contrast of HDR displays was analyzed. A PSF shaped like a certain type of spline could theoretically create a uniform brightness backlight, as well as producing linear and quadratic gradients, while being capable of showing very high contrast. A practical way to produce such a PSF was used to build an experimental device that achieved a non-uniformity of only ±0.8%, while enabling a contrast ratio of 5:1 and 33:1 over distances of one and two unit cell spacings, respectively. The implementation of a third light modulator in HDR displays, in addition to the backlight LEDs and the front liquid crystal display (LCD) was studied: liquid crystal cells were combined with reflective polarizers to act as light valves, either transmitting or reflecting light. In theory, these reflective light modulators are supposed to decrease power consumption through light recycle effects. The power consumption of displays using the two discussed backlights was simulated. It was found that their power consumption is less than that of a common LCD by a factor of 2-5, but it is about 11 percentage points higher than for a standard HDR display. However, the image quality and contrast are improved compared to both state of the art displays. The advantages of the backlight with the new PSF may help to make HDR displays more useful and competitive in a wide range of applications requiring faithful luminance rendering such as discerning consumer markets, medical imaging, and motion picture editing. 2013-12-17T00:00:00Z Phase coherence in graphene http://hdl.handle.net/2429/45614 The phase coherent properties of electrons in low temperature graphene are measured and analyzed. I demonstrate that graphene is able to coherently transport spin-polarized electrons over micrometer distances, and prove that magnetic defects in the graphene sheet are responsible for limiting spin transport over longer distances. It is shown that these magnetic defects are also partly responsible for the high decoherence (phase loss) observed at low temperature, and that another (as yet unknown) non-magnetic mechanism is required to explain the remainder. Similar measurements are used to probe and characterize the size scales of the roughness of the graphene sheet. The effects of an in-plane magnetic field threading through the rough graphene sheet are analogous to the effects of the built-in strain; I argue that the observed large valley-dependent scattering rates are a consequence of this built-in strain. I also describe an original, robust technique for extracting coherence information from conductance fluctuations. The technique is demonstrated in experiments on graphene, used to efficiently detect the presence of magnetic defects. This new approach to studying phase coherence can be easily carried over to other mesoscopic semiconducting systems. 2013-12-12T00:00:00Z

Frenchman's killing cowardly: HollandeComment on this story
Paris - French President Francois Hollande on Monday condemned "in the strongest terms the cowardly attack" in Sanaa, Yemen, that left one Frenchman dead and two others injured.
"In liaison with Yemen's authorities, the state will use all its powers to shine a light on circumstances of this odious act so that its authors are rapidly identified," said the president in a statement.

USC coach Horn dismisses junior forward Homes
Published: Friday, January 1, 2010 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 2, 2010 at 2:13 a.m.
The up-and-down USC career of Mike Holmes came to an end on the first day of the new year.
The junior forward was dismissed from the team for repeated violations of team rules. That left the Bishopville native looking for a new home, and USC dealing with the loss of a second key player.
USC coach Darrin Horn said Holmes was "repeatedly unable" to reach a "standard and basic level of expectations" that are set for any player or coach on the team.
Multiple sources said Holmes had a physical altercation in the locker room with a teammate last week.
Holmes averaged 11 points and 4.8 rebounds in six games this season. He sat out the past six after sustaining what the team said was an eye injury while "horsing around" (Horn's words) in Bishopville.
Since then, Holmes had not attended any of the team's games, even as fellow teammate Dominique Archie sat on the bench every game since he injured his knee against Miami on Nov. 22. Archie was ruled out for the season on Dec. 21.
Horn said Holmes' dismissal was unrelated to his eye injury. Attempts to reach Holmes were unsuccessful.
"It wasn't one particular thing. It was just over a period of time. The details of that are obviously a team issue and an internal matter. And we're not going to talk about individuals publicly," Horn said. "The bottom line is he can still pursue playing and education. He's in shape to do that. He's gonna do it somewhere else, and we're gonna do anything we can to help with that."
Horn met with Holmes on Friday morning then spoke to his remaining players; the Gamecocks play host to Baylor today.
The 6-foot-7 Holmes led the Gamecocks in rebounding last season, and had six double-doubles, averaging 10.8 points and 7.7 rebounds per game. As a freshman, he averaged 8.5 points and 5.7 rebounds and was named to the SEC coaches' all-freshman team.
As recently as two weeks ago, the Gamecocks had hoped to have Holmes and Archie back this season.
"It puts some finality on it. You know Dominique's not coming back for injury and Mike's not coming back at all," Horn said. "And now we know exactly where we stand and what we're working with. Maybe in some ways it'll help clarify for our guys what we need to continue to do to help us win games."
Holmes has had disciplinary issues before. He was suspended from the first exhibition game of his sophomore season and was benched for two other games.
Horn said the decision to let Holmes go was "really hard personally." This is the second time he has dismissed a player at USC, the first being Chad Gray, a month after Horn was hired in April 2008.
Holmes also becomes the third instate player to be dismissed from the program in as many years. Gray, now at Coastal Carolina, was from Kingstree. Former Lower Richland star Mike Jones was kicked off the team in the summer of 2007 before playing a game.
"The individual ends up making a decision (to continually not adhere to the rules) after multiple chances to do what we do," Horn said. "Whether you're a boss or whatever, ultimately they have to make the call and move it forward. It's hard. It is; it's hard. It's one of those things that's tough about what we (coaches) do.
"But at any point, when it affects the overall program, we're always going to do what's in the best interests of our players. And sometimes that means making a decision that's in the best interest of the program as a whole."

Sarkozy Said to Seek Club of Nations to Address Currency Issues
French President Nicolas Sarkozy wants to persuade the Group of 20 nations to establish a smaller forum to address global currency issues because the larger body is too unwieldy, three French government officials said.
For Sarkozy, who holds the rotating leadership of the G-20 and Group of Eight this year, establishing the club underscores the top item on his G-20 agenda: mediating the dispute between China and the biggest economies with freely traded currencies, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he has yet to agree to a plan.
While the G-20 replaced the G-7 as the main body for international economic policy making in 2009 to reflect the rise of emerging markets such as China, it has failed to follow its tradition of forging positions on currencies because not all of its members allow their currencies to float freely.
"The French appear to want a smaller group of countries to address currency matters because the G-20 looks too large and the G-7 too small," said Gerard Lyons, chief economist at Standard Chartered Bank in London.
Possible outcomes include opening the G-7 to China or shrinking it to a G-5, with one euro-region representative, the officials said. Other emerging economies could also join, they said. The G-7 comprises the U.S., Japan, Germany, the U.K., France, Canada and Italy. Russia makes it the G-8.
Sarkozy has regularly complained that the euro is too strong against the yuan and the yen, hurting European export competitiveness. The euro is 8.2 percent overvalued against the dollar even after weakening 4 percent in the past 12 months, according to an index compiled by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
'Multipolar World'
He has also raised the issue of reducing the dollar's role as a reserve currency. At the World Economic Forum in Davos last January, Sarkozy said: "We can't have on one hand a multipolar world and on the other hand a single reserve currency." Sarkozy is scheduled to go to this year's Davos meeting on Jan. 27.
Like the debate over adding permanent members to the United Nations Security Council, Sarkozy's ambition may founder on political rivalries and policy disputes, says Jean Pisani-Ferry, a former European Union and French government economic adviser who runs the Bruegel research institute in Brussels.
China may view it as a "risk" that it will be pressed to let the yuan rise, he said. Other hurdles include drawing the line on membership and the risk of weakening the G-20, he said.
The U.S. wants to keep currency matters at the G-20, Charles Collyns, assistant U.S. Treasury secretary for international finance, said Jan. 20 in Washington.
'Premier Forum'
"Inevitably, currencies are discussed and will continue to be discussed at the G-20," he told a panel discussion on the topic. The G-20 is "the premier forum for international economic coordination."
The most "pragmatic" decision would be to add Brazil, Russia, India and China to a G-7 where euro countries would merge in order to "keep it smaller than the G-20 and by that way more powerful in terms of quick decisions," said Sebastian Wanke, an economist at Dekabank in Frankfurt.
Finance Minister Christine Lagarde has hinted at the French plans. In October in Washington, she said she was "not sure that 20 is the absolute right number" to "discuss effectively currencies." Earlier this month, Lagarde wished journalists luck in explaining G-20 talks, including how to "legitimize the existence of a G-5 rather than a G-14 or a G-20."
China 'Seminar'
Sarkozy is convening what he has called a "seminar" in Beijing in March to discuss the monetary system.
It was a French leader, President President Valery Giscard d'Estaing, who in 1975 gathered the leaders of West Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K. and the U.S. at a summit in Rambouillet, France.
The group soon expanded to the G-7. Its influence reached its zenith through the Louvre and Plaza currency accords of the 1980s and with its responses to financial crises in Asia, Latin America and Russia in the 1990s. It hasn't intervened in foreign exchange markets since a rescue of the euro in September 2000.
"In 1975, when President Giscard d'Estaing had the idea to create the G-7 it was after a monetary crisis and it was above all to talk about currency," Sarkozy said at a press conference today. "The question that we have to ask today is: is the G-7, which has become the G-8, legitimate to talk currencies. I challenge this idea because it doesn't include China."

Sweet and sugary, so delicious and so deadly. "Added sugar is a completely unnecessary part of our diets, contributing to obesity, type II diabetes and tooth decay," Graham MacGregor, a London cardiologist and health campaigner, says. "We have known about the health risks of sugar for years and yet nothing substantial has been done." The World Health Organization is now recommending that adults cut back their sugar intake to just six teaspoons daily.

Keywords: Sugar intake, World Health Organization, guidelines
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - In addition, children should not be given fizzy drinks because they contain dangerous amounts of sugar, United Nations health chiefs said this week. The guideline amount for sugar intake has been slashed dramatically over fears that sugar poses the same threat to health as tobacco.
Experts blame it for millions of premature deaths across the world every year. "The new recommendations will be a wakeup call to the Department of Health and the Government to take action by forcing the food industry to slowly reduce the huge amount of sugar added across the board," MacGregor adds.
Saint Patrick's Day is coming -- go here --
The problem is so across-the-board that a tax may be put on calorie-laden food and drink in the United Kingdom to curb soaring levels of obesity. Chief medical officer Sally Davies has already said
The World Health Organization said the crisis was being fuelled by hidden sugar in processed food and drink such as yogurts, muesli, sauces, fizzy drinks, juice and smoothies.
The WHO has since published the draft guidelines urging adults to eat no more than 12 teaspoons of sugar a day and to aim for six. Children should try for less than six teaspoons and avoid cans of fizzy drink such as Coke, which contains seven spoons.
"Obesity affects half a billion people in the world and it is on the rise," Francesco Branca, director for nutrition for health and development at WHO, says.
"Sugar along with other risk factors might certainly become the new tobacco in terms of public health action. The consumption of a single serving of sugar sweetened soda might actually already exceed the limit for a child. So certainly the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages should be done with great care.
"It actually is one of the elements that [have] been more constantly associated to increase weight gain particularly in children."
Branca says that food and drinks manufacturers should drastically alter their products. A bowl of muesli contains two and a half teaspoons of sugar; a latte has five, a chocolate bar six or seven while some ready-meals have more than eight.

Israel will get the punishment it deserves
1Israel, don't celebrate
or make noisy shouts#9.1 or … shouts: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
like other nations.
You have been unfaithful
to your God.
Wherever grain is threshed,
you behave like prostitutes
because you enjoy
the money you receive.#9.1 Wherever … receive: Grain was threshed on hills or other places where the wind could blow away the husks. People also met at these places to worship Baal, the god they thought had given them the grain harvest.
2But you will run short
of grain and wine,
3and you will have to leave
the land of the Lord.
Some of you will go to Egypt;
others will go to Assyria
and eat unclean food.
4You won't be able to offer
sacrifices of wine
to the Lord.
None of your sacrifices
will please him—
they will be unclean
like food offered to the dead.
Your food will only be used
to satisfy your hunger;
none of it will be brought
to the Lord's temple.
5You will no longer be able
to celebrate the festival
of the Lord.#9.5 festival of the Lord: Probably the Festival of Shelters.
6Even if you escape alive,
you will end up in Egypt
and be buried in Memphis.#9.6 Memphis: An Egyptian city with a famous cemetery.
Your silver treasures
will be lost among weeds;#9.6 Your silver … weeds: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
thorns will sprout in your tents.
7 # Luke 21.22 Israel, the time has come.
You will get what you deserve,
and you will know it.
"Prophets are fools," you say.
"And God's messengers
are mad."
Your terrible guilt
has filled you with hatred.
8Israel, the Lord sent me
to look after you.#9.8 Israel … you: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
But you trap his prophets
and flood his temple
with your hatred.
9 # Judg 19.1–30 You are brutal and corrupt,
as were the men of Gibeah.#9.9 the men of Gibeah: They raped and murdered a woman (see Judges 19).
But God remembers your sin,
and you will be punished.
Sin's terrible results
The Lord said:
10 # Num 25.1–5 Israel, when I, the Lord,
found you long ago
it was like finding
grapes in a barren desert
or tender young figs.
Then you worshipped Baal-Peor,
that disgusting idol,
and you became as disgusting
as the idol you loved.
11And so, Israel, your glory
will fly away like birds—
your women will no longer
be able to give birth.
12Even if you do have children,
I will take them all
and leave you to mourn.
I will turn away,
and you will sink down
in deep trouble.
13Israel, when I first met you,
I thought of you as palm trees
growing in fertile ground.#9.13 Israel, when … ground: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
Now you lead your people out,
only to be slaughtered.
Hosea's advice
14Our Lord, do just one thing
for your people—
make their women unable
to have children
or to nurse their babies.
The Lord's judgment on Israel
15Israel, I first began
to hate you because
you did evil at Gilgal.#9.15 Gilgal: See 4.15.
Now I will chase you
out of my house.
No longer will I love you;
your leaders betrayed me.
16Israel, you are a vine
with dried up roots
and fruitless branches.
Even if you had more children
and loved them dearly,
I would slaughter them all.
Warnings for Israel
17Israel, you disobeyed my God.
Now he will force you to roam
from nation to nation.

You're pretty well stuck with what you've got.
However, one of the things people do for fun is to double expose a roll of film on purpose.
For example, the first time through, you take shots of things like windows, street lights and brick walls. Things that have interesting patterns and designs in them. Next, rewind and expose again. This time take "normal" pictures of people and things. Then, when you develop the roll you'll overlay or juxtapose the second exposures on the first.
The thing is, you never know what you're going to get. You might end up with a picture that looks like a person standing in front of a street light or a dog looking out of a window. You might get some funny, interesting or surreal shots. You might end up with junk. It's mostly random chance.
Here's one I did, years ago:
I say to go ahead and proof that roll of film to see what you got. You might luck out and get a good one.

Gemma Arterton doesn't understand why people want to quiz her about her weight so often.
Gemma Arterton thinks it's wrong she is quizzed about her weight.
The 24-year-old actress - who is the main star in Stephen Frears' new comedy 'Tamara Drewe' - believes actresses should be allowed to be whatever size a character requires and is tired of constantly being scrutinised about her figure.
She said: "I don't know why there should be pressure for actors, because they should be able to play every type of person, but it is an issue.
"It's a load of rubbish, honestly. It's a weird position to be in, because as somebody who really takes acting seriously, this stuff is so trivial.
"No one would ever ask Judi Dench, 'Do you eat every day? Or, 'How does it feel to be a curvaceous woman?' But as young actresses, we get, it, and you just think, 'Eurgh.' "
The British beauty also revealed she hates going to red carpet events and more often than not she can't wait to return to her London home.
She added in an interview with The Guardian newspaper: "I used to think, 'Oh yeah, it would be good to go on the red carpet and be photographed.'
"Now, when those events come up, I think, 'Oh my God! I can't wait to get home.' "

Nov. 25, 1943 - May 10, 2010
On the afternoon of Monday, May 10, 2010, the world lost Martin Thorson - beloved husband, father, grandfather ("Chief") and friend. He was diagnosed with mesothelioma in the fall of 2008, and was given six months to live. Not being one to sit back, Martin's stub bornness, spirit, sheer determination and the incredible staff at St. Mary's Cancer Center helped him to persevere for more than a year longer.
Martin was born in Los Angeles to Trygve A. and Enid G. Thorson. Trygve "Tryg" was a fire boat captain for the city of Los Angeles and Enid was a homemaker, piano instructor and a primary Sabbath school teacher. Martin was the third of four children - one girl and three boys. Tryg raised his family in Lomita, Calif., just miles from Huntington and Redondo beaches, where Martin would fall in the love with the ocean. Martin became so interested in surfing and sailing that he and his brother, Glenn, built a two-person, wooden sailboat and a long-board surf board out of wood.
Martin graduated from Lynwood Academy in 1962. After pursing his love of physics in college, Martin changed direction to major in accounting and graduated with a bachelor's degree in accounting in 1968 from Golden Gate University. In 1969, Martin became a Certified Public Accountant.
On a blind date in June of 1967, Martin met Andrea Charlene Haugen. The two were married on Jan. 28, 1968. After marriage, Martin and Andrea pursued their love of aviation and got their private pilot's licenses together from a retired Navy combat pilot in Oakland. When the cold summers in San Francisco were enough for them, Martin and Andrea moved back to Martin's home town of Los Angeles, where Martin filled various accounting roles for a CPA firm in Beverly Hills, Flying Tiger Airlines and finally landing at White Memorial Medical Center as the vice president for finance. This began Martin's almost 30-year career in the health-care field.
Martin and Andrea moved their young family to Walla Walla in 1983, and he became the CFO at Walla Walla General Hospital. In 1987, Martin became the Chief Financial Officer/Vice President for Finance for a small local health-care marketing firm. Martin served Coffey Communications faithfully for nearly 20 years and was the only non-family member to sit on the company's board of directors. In the last two years of his life, Martin worked in the accounting department at Banner Bank headquarters, where he made many friends and served the department above and beyond expectations.
Martin was raised to give of himself and to serve his community. His love of art and music led him to serve on the Walla Walla Symphony Board, where he served as the board's president. Martin also served on the Walla Walla Country Club board and was elected to serve as president. He served a term on the city of College Place's planning commission. In addition, Martin volunteered time and services at the Christian Aid Center, YWCA and at Dumas Station Wines as it got started.
Living in Walla Walla, Martin and Andrea fell in love with the wine industry. Martin combined his love of art and wine and began carving salad spoon and fork sets out of wine barrel staves. His other loves included golf, music, capturing memories on his ever-present camera, and family gatherings - especially at the Breithaupt's Ranch and Kelly's Cabin in Dayton. Martin had an infectious smile and a twinkle in his eye that rivaled St. Nick. He could be the life of a party, a rock to lean on and a sage who would offer counsel. Anytime he was around, Martin would light up the room with his smile and cheer. Martin loved his family, people, his community, following his grandson's sport achievements and you never saw a prouder grandfather than when his two granddaughters were born.
Martin was preceded in death by his parents, Trygve Enid Thorson; sister and brothers, Elise Cook, Steven Thorson and Glenn Thorson; and favorite aunt, Evelyn Berrigan. He is survived by his wife, Andrea Thorson of Walla Walla; daughter, Sarah Thorson of Walla Walla; son, Spencer Thorson of Walla Walla; son and daughter-in-law, Peter and Marne Thorson of Walla Walla; three grandchildren, Zachary Staudenmaier, Paige Thorson and Finley Thorson, all from Walla Walla; adopted daughters, Ana Biasi of Salem, Ore., and Amity Priore of Walla Walla; sister-in-law, Betty Thorson of Long Beach, Calif.; nephews and nieces, Jay Cook of Los Angles, Renee Graham of Great Falls, Mont., Eric Thorson of Los Angeles, Kristy Thorson of Dallas, Rachel Thorson of Long Beach, Calif., and Brian Thorson of Los Angeles; father- and mother-in-law, Einar and Ellen Haugen of Walla Walla and countless friends, golf buddies, wine makers and community members who will miss him dearly.
Martin's memorial service will be held on Friday, May 21, 2012 at 1 p.m. at the Walla Walla Country Club. A reception celebrating Martin's outstanding life will immediately follow at the Walla Walla Country Club.

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
Awesome experience all around!
Lindsay and Mike did a fantastic job on our engagement and wedding pictures! We had a problem with our wedding picture book (a production flaw not due to Mike and Lindsay) and they quickly responded to the issue and got us a new photo book at no extra charge to us. Our pictures are a wonderful reflection of our special day.
Mike and Lindsay provided absolutely amazing photography for my wedding! They were extremely helpful and flexible with all of my financial needs and catered to the wedding day appropriately. They showed up early and stayed extra and were just a blast to work with. It was like having your good friends photograph your special day! They are extremely creative with different poses and backgrounds and I received multiple compliments on how the pictures turned out!
I plan to use them in the future for any other professional photography I need to get done!

Differential operators on a polarized abelian variety
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Let be an ample line bundle over a complex abelian variety . We show that the space of all global sections over of and are both of dimension one. Using this it is shown that the moduli space of rank one holomorphic connections on a compact Riemann surface does not admit any nonconstant algebraic function. On the other hand, is biholomorphic to the moduli space of characters of , which is an affine variety. So is algebraically distinct from the character variety if is of genus at least one.

Liverpool For one week in August, students from all over Central New York converged at National Grid's Technical Training Center in Liverpool to explore their interest in engineering. As part of National Grid's Engineering Our Future program, the students were invited to take part in several lectures and hands-on activities that increased the student's understanding of engineering, National Grid and the gas and electric power industries.
Participants included:
Ellen Brooks
Veronica Raymond
Stephen Carrol
Eric Morris
Elyce Buell
Rory Callahan
Spencer Parker
Chase Turose
Mallory Shaffer
Nicole Verone
Lauren Emigholz
Emily Valentine
Anthony Funke
Nicholas Potter
Brian Heffernan
Craig Weaver
The main component of Engineering Our Future is the Engineering Pipeline Program, a six year program that begins the student's junior year of high school. When students are admitted into the program, they attend two summer "engineering academies" and compete for summer internships with National Grid during their summers. If students complete the program successfully, they may be offered a job with National Grid.
During the first week of August, National Grid held their "Year 2 Engineering Academy" for members of the program who start as college freshmen next year. Among the 16 participants were recent graduates of Marcellus High School, Skaneateles High School, East Syracuse-Minoa High School, Cicero-North Syracuse High School, G. Ray Bodley High School, Paul V. Moore High School, Charles W. Baker High School and Homer Central High School.
"I think the program offers some great opportunities," said Elyce Buell, of Skaneateles, one of the programs' participants, "the instructors really knew what they were talking about, and I really enjoyed the hands on activities."
In addition to learning about the power industry, students participated in leadership, teamwork and professional development activities, such as building solar powered cars and conducting mock job interviews.
"I'd definitely recommend the program to anyone interested in engineering," noted Buell, "It's a great experience."
