Football coach Drake Zortman leaves Shorewood/Messmer for Homestead
No, Homestead football coach Dave Keel did not come calling on Drake Zortman Don Corleone-style saying, "I have an offer you cannot refuse."
But in the end, this was an offer that Zortman could not refuse as the former four-year head coach at Shorewood/Messmer, author of the Greyhounds' resurrection and return to respectability, has returned to Homestead as the Highlanders' offensive coordinator and a math instructor at the high school.
Zortman spent 13 years at Homestead earlier in his career, serving as the girls basketball coach and working on Keel's staff for about a decade in many capacities until he took the Shorewood/Messmer job four years ago. He split his teaching time between both Messmer and Shorewood and also successfully led the boys golf team at Shorewood the last couple of years.
He accepted the position at Homestead earlier this month.
In keeping with "The Godfather" theme, Zortman did say this was indeed all about family. His wife Jen is also a math instructor at Homestead, and their children go to school in the district. He said he had been in conversations with Shorewood Athletic Director Levar Ridgeway months in advance, keeping him in the loop about a potential career change.» Read Full Article
Senior-heavy Nicolet baseball team showed improvement this season
The Nicolet baseball team is still not back to where it was 10 years ago or even five years ago, but the Knights made strides this summer, staying competitive for the most part in a 9-21 campaign.
"We had a lot of individual successes and improvements," said coach Jason Grodsky. "We didn't have a winning record, but we had many players pushing toward making themselves better, trying to eliminate mistakes and trying to show the way for the younger players. It all contributed to a better team effort in the end."
The Knights' season came to a tough end with a 5-4 WIAA regional semifinal defeat at the hands of Kewaskum on July 14.
By far the single-best high point of the campaign was the Knights' remarkable 5-3 upset of North Shore Conference champion West Bend West on June 29. It was one of only three losses for the Spartans this season.
In that game, senior Ian Greenfield pitched effectively and with composure. It was one reason behind his winning the team's Most Improved award and sharing the Knights' Lance Painter Top Pitcher award with fellow senior Alex Braun.» Read Full Article
Shorewood baseball team struggles with youth
With huge graduation losses from last season to absorb, Shorewood baseball coach Josh Lemke knew it would be an uphill climb this summer, but he was happy with the character and tenacity his team showed in an otherwise difficult 5-21 campaign.
Lemke thought his squad showed its true character in its final game, a tough 3-1 defeat at the hands of eventual WIAA sectional finalist Grafton in a regional semifinal game on July 14.
"Grafton was a very good team, and we played with them, hung with them well," Lemke said. "It showed that if played sound fundamental baseball that we could compete with anybody."
That game was the second sound contest the Greyhounds had played in a week following a 4-0 defeat at the hands of New Berlin Eisenhower in the Woodland Conference tournament on July 7.
Lemke and Shorewood played the summer with only two seniors, pitcher/outfielder/first baseman Joe Franke and all-purpose ace Will Rhodes (he played every position). Everywhere else, the team was young, young, young. Lemke noted that at the power positions of catcher, first base, shortstop and center field, the regular starters were all sophomores or younger.» Read Full Article
Whitefish Bay memorializes woman killed in crosswalk
Whitefish Bay —Two months after Kristen Caves was struck and killed in a Whitefish Bay crosswalk, a new bench erected near the scene of the crash will serve as a tribute to her life and remind passersby of the importance of pedestrian safety.
Caves, 26, of Menomonee Falls, was struck and killed by a car on May 26 while attempting to cross Silver Spring Drive just east of Berkeley Boulevard. The driver of the car apparently waved her across the crosswalk, but when that car was hit from behind, the driver accidentally stepped on the gas pedal and hit Caves. She died two days later.
Caves' death has been difficult on her friends, family and her coworkers at Teklynx International, 409 E. Silver Spring Drive. Several of the employees in the second-story office heard or saw the crash, which only added to the trauma of her death.
"It was a reminder of how fragile life is, and how important your friends and family are," said Laura Henderson, the former general manager at Teklynx.
A graduate of Arrowhead High School, Caves had been working at Teklynk for nearly a year while pursuing an associate's degree at Waukesha County Technical College. She and her fiance Tim Sullivan had planned to marry in August 2016.» Read Full Article
Brown Deer baseball team hung together despite tough season
It was a tough season to be Brown Deer baseball player.
The varsity finished at 4-21 and the junior varsity and freshman teams struggled to win games, but first-year coach Dave Lucre' saw signs of progress and was especially pleased with the way morale was maintained in spite of the adversity.
"The guys improved in some areas," he said.
"The errors per game were still high at the end of the season, but one thing I really liked is how we competed against good teams. All summer long, I kept telling them I appreciate them playing Brown Deer baseball."
The season recently ended for the Falcons with a WIAA regional semifinal loss to Cedarburg, a game where they scored the first two runs of the contest before faltering a bit.» Read Full Article
Shorewood debates trick-or-treat times
Shorewood — Does it really feel like Halloween if you are trick-or-treating during the daytime?
That question has been posed many times over the years to North Shore government officials, who are in charge of setting trick-or-treat times in the months leading up to Halloween.
Local village boards and city councils in Milwaukee County typically set their trick-or-treat times from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. the Sunday on or before Oct. 31, which was agreed upon in 2010 by a group of municipal leaders representing the county's 19 communities. If Oct. 31 falls on a Saturday - like it does this year - the regional Intergovernmental Cooperation Council's non-binding resolution allows communities to schedule trick-or-treating on the day of Halloween.
Several North Shore officials have tried to stray from the ICC's position over the years, but few have succeeded. The latest politician to poke that beehive was Shorewood trustee Tammy Bockhorst, who raised the issue at a village board meeting on July 20.
Instead of conforming to the suggested trick-or-treat hours of 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 31, Bockhorst tried to lobby her fellow trustees to push trick-or-treating a little later, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.» Read Full Article
Glendale evaluates city hall improvements
Glendale — The Glendale Common Council will soon start discussing possible improvements to the city hall/police department building.
John Sabinash, of Zimmerman Architectural Studios, has identified $10.3 million in improvements for Glendale City Hall that could be phased over the next four years. City Administrator Richard Maslowski said the city will not be able to fund all of the projects in Zimmerman's needs analysis, as funding is tight and a number of capital improvement projects are scheduled over the next several years.
The council will start prioritizing the most urgent city hall improvement projects during budget discussions in August or September.
Glendale City Hall was first constructed in 1954. The police department was added in 1963, and another addition was added in 1994. Sabinash said Glendale has "a functionably reasonable building," but it is in need of some updating, like new roofing and windows on the entire building.
The consultant said the improvements could be managed in four phases - the first of which would spend $1.7 million on the city hall portion of the building. The proposal calls for a reconfiguration of city hall's office space, a remodling of the common council chambers and a 952-square-foot office addition along the front of the building, among other improvements.» Read Full Article
'Milwaukee lion' spotted in Glendale
Glendale — After a week on the northwest side of Milwaukee, the much-talked-about 'Milwaukee lion' may have made an appearance in Glendale Sunday night.
The 'lion-like' creature described by more than a dozen eyewitnesses over the last week was most recently spotted on 30th Street and Fairmount Avenue on Saturday night. Milwaukee police officers have been searching the area around Lincoln Creek in search of the big cat.
The lion may be traveling northeast, if a call from Glendale police is accurate.
Glendale police received a report of a lion sighting at 11:26 p.m. Sunday in the 5700 block of Crestwood Boulevard, about a mile north of Lincoln Creek. The caller said he saw a tan muscular animal with a long tail walking in the area, and then it took off running north toward Marne Avenue.
Glendale police responded to the call, but officers were unable to locate the animal.
North Shore communities react to state ban on municipal home inspections at time of sale
Some North Shore government officials are unhappy about a provision in the new state budget that bans local municipalities from enforcing code requirements at the time of a property sale.
Shorewood, Brown Deer and Bayside are among the North Shore communities that previously required comprehensive code compliance inspections at the time a property is sold. The inspections identified electrical, plumbing and structural issues that need to be changed before the property can change hands.
The Wisconsin Realtors Association requested state legislators to eliminate those inspections, because they were seen as a hurdle to the sale of homes. The law went into effect on July 14.
The law will bring about a significant change in policy for communities like Shorewood, which has had a comprehensive time-of-sale code compliance program since 1980. Communities like Shorewood that have an older housing stock have come to rely upon home inspections at the time of sale to help ensure properties do not fall into disrepair, said Village Manager Chris Swartz.
"Most homes in Shorewood were built in the late teens through early 1930s and are rich in architectural diversity," he said. "This provision eliminates a very effective method we currently have to preserve the integrity of these buildings over the years, which is a top village priority."» Read Full Article
Brown Deer closes on sale of former American TV and Appliance building
Brown Deer —The village of Brown Deer closed on the sale of the former American TV and Appliance building for $2.1 million last week.
The 119,000-square-foot building is part of a 6.6-acre lot on the north side of the property that was purchased by Pak Technologies, a blending, packing and distribution company based in Milwaukee. Pak Technologies has already started renovating the interior of the building to turn it into a distribution warehouse.
Brown Deer will provide Pak with $750,000 in assistance over the course of four years. Pak Technologies has guaranteed that the improvements to the property will generate an additional $1.4 million in assessed value. The increased tax revenue from the property will be used to reimburse the village for its contribution.
The Brown Deer Community Development Authority purchased the 10-acre lot at 6700 W. Brown Deer Road for $2.6 million in April 2014. That lot has been divided into three parcels, including a 2.2-acre lot on the southeast corner that will be sold to Aldi for $650,000. Village officials estimate the Aldi's property will be worth $2 million when the building is completed in summer 2016.
The remaining 1.2 acres of land on the southwestern portion of the property will be used for storm water management.» Read Full Article
Woman robbed at gunpoint at Brown Deer bank
Brown Deer — Brown Deer police are searching for two suspects who allegedly robbed a 61-year-old Milwaukee woman at gunpoint and stole her vehicle on Sunday, July 26.
In addition to robbing the woman and stealing her car, the two male suspects also allegedly ordered her at gunpoint to withdraw money from an ATM machine at US Bank, 4200 W. Brown Deer Road, at 5:55 p.m. Sunday.
The two suspects - who are estimated to be about 17 or 18 years old - were last seen traveling westbound on Brown Deer Road in a maroon Ford Taurus and a bronze 2013 Buick Encore, which was the woman's vehicle.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Brown Deer Police Department at (414) 371-2900.
Bizarre play leads to Homestead "9" sectional loss to Falls
"It was the weirdest way to score a winning run that I've ever seen."
That was the reaction of Homestead baseball coach Ernie Millard after the Highlanders lost a wrenching 3-2 WIAA sectional semifinal decision to Menomonee Falls on July 20 at Cahill Park in Whitefish Bay.
The Highlanders had advanced to the sectional with a 12-2 rout of Kewaskum in the regional final on July 17 and were looking for their second straight state tournament berth.
Falls went on to defeat Grafton, 4-2, for its first state tournament berth since 2008. The Falls win was also a little bit of vengeance for a sectional semifinal defeat at the hands of the Highlanders last season.
Millard wasn't far off in his assertion about the play in the third inning that decided the Highlanders' fate.» Read Full Article
North Shore area baseball teams drop tough regional contests
The seasons ended on a competitive but also a bit frustrating note for both the Nicolet and Shorewood baseball teams in WIAA regional play on Tuesday, July 14, while after a promising start, Brown Deer saw its campaign come to an end in a 12-2 decision to Cedarburg that same night.
Nicolet fell to host Kewaskum, 5-4, while Shorewood lost to a good Grafton squad, 3-1. Cedarburg, Kewaskum and Grafton all advanced to regional finals on Friday, July 17.
"We really played hard," said Nicolet coach Jason Grodsky. "Everything we worked on since the beginning of the season was evident. We just didn't pick up the ball when we needed too."
It was too bad really for the Knights (7-19). They had fallen behind 1-0 in the third but then scored four runs in the next three innings, combined with help from a wild pitch, a passed ball and a balk. Adam Plotkin also helped out with an RBI single.» Read Full Article
Whitefish Bay baseball team comes up just short of Falls in regional thriller
Maybe the luck of the draw was unfortunate for the Whitefish Bay baseball team when it came off an impressive win over West Bend East on July 14 only to have to face red-hot, eventual state-tournament-qualifier Menomonee Falls in a WIAA regional final game on July 17.
Not that Bay coach Jay Wojcinski was going to make an issue of it, even after the tough as nails, 4-3 defeat that ended the impressive second half of the Blue Dukes' season with a final mark of 21-11.
"Given the way we've been playing the last 20 games or so, no," he said. "We were going to have face them either now or in the sectional anyway, but we felt confident. It's just that we left a small village (of runners) on the bases."
The Blue Dukes had entered the game with a 10-game winning streak. Falls (26-7) would go on to beat Homestead and Grafton in the July 20 sectional at Cahill Park to earn its first state tourney berth since 2008.
Bay gave the Indians and their Illinois scholarship-bound ace Ty Weber all he could handle in the regional final on a hot and humid night at Falls' Trenary Park. The Blue Dukes had baserunners on each of the first four innings, two each in the second and third. A double play got the Indians out of the first inning problem, and Weber strikeouts did the trick in the second and third.» Read Full Article

If I remember right Tate was getting her ass beat...I did not think it was early and
Winslow sucks.
Brief blow off here:
When are they going to fix ref and judges? For fuck sake we have been saying it on here for years. Trrain them and give the judges a fuckin monitor.
I didn't think the Tate stoppage was so bad, like others have said, I've seen way worse. Mazzagati's none-call in the Burkman-Fitch fight was the worst in 2013 for me. Luckily Josh, let the choke go fairly quickly.
"Without blinking I bitch slapped him right across the face and grabbed him and yelled, "You go out there and beat his ass!!!" Nate "The Rock" Quarry.
"Shit just got real here in the Max!" Michael "The Voice" Schiavello at K-1 World Max Rd of 16 2010, Zambidis vs. Chahid.
Winslow could kicks tats ass in a stand up fight
Yup cat definitely wouldn't wanna beat that ass again. The stoppage wasn't early from what I remember. She just trying to justify her title shot, I never been a big fan of hers, I think she's overrated as fuck and just shows how weak the women's divisions are. Only ppl they really try selling are the most decent looking women (Tate is not even all that either but whatever lol)
winslow is SO BAD she is worse than mazegatti I'm not sure why she is allowed to ref because A she sucks ass and B if a paul daley situation were to occurr how would she be able to prevent it she is a twig. There should be some physical requirment to be an MMA ref.
Tate had a fork stuck in her. She was done.

does that mean he wills for things like rape, murder, abuse, etc? I understand that God ultimately uses the results of these things for a "greater good" but is it safe to say that those specific atrocicites are his will, his desire? Im never sure how to answer this when it comes up, because in order to believe in Gods absolute sovereignty it would seem that to be the case.
if one believes that the universe is deterministic, then I suppose one would indeed have to conclude that God does will for such things to happen as well.
Quote from: Gab on November 04, 2009, 02:28:37 AM if one believes that the universe is deterministic, then I suppose one would indeed have to conclude that God does will for such things to happen as well.Whatever do you mean?
The universe is a thing. This thing has no being. Thus it can not be determined of itself."It" simply follows the laws of physics OR those under grace follow the Lamb.
What it means is that God uses evil for the purpose of his will, in other words, to benefit everyone...someday. The bible gives constant examples of God using evil for an ultimate good.
That's cute, and actually probably REAL close to the Truth.....
I do not believe evil thoughts and intentions come from the Holy Spirit. In fact, doesn't the word HOLY mean separate,,, hallowed? The Holy Spirit is separate from the spirit of antiChrist which is the spirit that rules in the fallen world. Evil is simply opposition to that which is good. I think it can only lead to grave chaos and confusion to think of God as being evil in any sense. However, His love is GREATER than any ability to resist. His goodness outweighs the most corrupt imaginings of the heart of man. In other words, God's goodness will OUTDO the magnitude of man's perversion of all that is good.That's the way I see it.Anne
I do not believe evil thoughts and intentions come from the Holy Spirit. In fact, doesn't the word HOLY mean separate,,, hallowed?
Whitewings, Rose - thank you. I appreciate your comments. I always feel confused if I ever try to imagine God being anything but PURE.God has to have a certain character - otherwise, how could we come to KNOW HIM? If he changed like we do from one minute to the next, knowing him would be no different than knowing the fellow next door. I've never met a person that would never fail me. God is the only one I know who is completely unchanging and trustworthy. That's why I trust him with the very ominous issue of death.Anne
for the majority of my universalistic hereisies, ive kindof believed in what I call "limited will" which is certain things can happen that arent neccesaily Gods will, but there is a limit to them and his ultimate will cannot be thwarted (ie biblical prophecies and his plan of salvation).but now Im starting to think hes behind it all, whether I like or understand that or not

By Denise Morganthall
Earth Day is a globally celebrated holiday that is intended to raise public awareness about a variety of environmental issues such as air and water pollution, climate change and habitat destruction. In the U.S. Earth Day has inspired the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Environmental Species Act and the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
We need to commit to protect our environment so we can all have clean air to breathe, clean water to drink and a neighborhood safe from toxins. By making small changes, such as using less water and electricity, cutting down on pollution from commuting, reusing and recycling and picking up trash, we can have a big impact on our environment and our lives.
What does Earth Day mean to you? For me, it means preserving the earth for the next generation. It is a time to plant trees, recycle and be green! Find ways that you can help keep the planet clean and help protect our environment. Happy Earth Day!

Goal Story
Not for the first time, Pam is negotiating away a stack of requirements from the project goals. Having successfully convinced the client "Security Features" was never really worthwhile, she drags a "Magic Chainsaw" sprite from the tool palette to the "Security Features" requirement, shakes the mouse a couple of times, and the chainsaw is animated for a second as the requirement fades away.
How can you ensure visual content is flexible?
- Rich visual displays are often the most effective way to present information.
- Information frequently changes as the user interacts and new data is received from the server, hence the visual display needs to frequently update.
- It's expensive to continuously download new visual content.
Augment the display with "sprites": small, flexible, icon-like blocks of content. Typically, the sprites are images, but they may also be div elements containing text or images or a combination of both. The name refers to the sprites used in traditional graphics programming, particularly gaming. They are the little graphics representing players, enemies, and physical objects, capable of moving around a scene and animating themselves to reflect current activity. The entire scene does not need to be recomputed each time, only the sprites. DOM elements are not (yet) capable of more advanced features such as arbitrary rotation, but many aspects of sprites can actually be translated to a web context.
Google Maps is a case in point. Search for "museum new york" and you'll see a set of thumbtack Sprites appear on the map, one for each museum. Then click on a thumbtack, and a new speech balloon sprite will show with the precise address. There are several ways to achieve this effect:
- Prepare the entire image in advance. But what if you had typed "Restaurant" instead? Or "742 Evergreen Terrace"? What if you'd zoomed in a bit? Google would have to pre-store a new image for each possible search term, an impossibility even for Google.
- Prepare the entire image on demand. The search might result in a new image being placed on the page, with a URL like http://maps.google.com/image/museum+new+york, which will trigger the browser to load up the new image. When the server detects this request, it could generate the image on demand. This solution solves the infinite storage problem, but is grossly inefficient. Google's servers will be working overtime to pump out new images, and the user will suffer from a slow response time.
- Download the basic map image, along with semantic content indicating the map's coordinates and those of the museums. The browser will then render the whole image, slapping on a thumbtack sprite for each museum.
The sprite solution is the most scaleable in terms of storage, server processing, and user response times. It makes the map a backdrop for whatever arbitrary data needs to be shown. The sprites are completely flexible. Google could use them, for example, to render a personal map showing places of interest to each individual user. All that needs to be downloaded is some semantic content, and the browser handles the rendering.
Sprites are often implemented as div elements, or simply images. They usually appear "in front of" the rest of the document and are sometimes partially transparent. Following are the relevant CSS properties:
- zIndex determines how elements are stacked, and sprites usually have a high value in order to appear in front of other elements.
- left, right, top, and bottom are often used to position a sprite. position can be set as relative or absolute to influence how the browser interprets these settings.
- opacity is often used to make the sprite partially transparent. (IE requires the alpha filter workaround.)
- backgroundImage is used to select a background image when the sprite is a div. As long as there is no foreground content, it is the background image that is shown. The image need not be rectangular, because a transparent GIF file can be used to show any arbitrary shape.
You can also animate the sprite by rapidly changing its appearance. Unfortunately, Javascript cannot easily control animated GIFs, so that's not a viable option. However, animation is easy enough with some Event Scheduling. A simple technique is to set up a recurring "changeImage()" action, in which the element's background-image is continuously run through a cycle of different images. Ideally, you should preload the images first to avoid a slow cycle the first time round. Several tricks are available for preloading, most commonly involving code like "var sprite[i] = new Image(); sprite[i].src = "sprite.gif". An alternative animation technique is outlined in the Code Examples below.
What file format will the sprite image be?
Sprites are usually images, but what file format to use --- JPEG, GIF, or PNG? There are several considerations:
- Portability
- Image quality
- File size
- Transparency
JPEG may be the most common format on the web, but is ruled out for most sprites. It doesn't support transparent pixels, so the sprite must be rectangular, and it is not actually very effective at storing the kinds of images typically used for sprites: cartoon-like line drawings. So JPEG is only a consideration in the rare case you have a fairly large, rectangular, photo-like sprite.
This leaves GIF and PNG as the most common choices. An intellectual property cloud used to hang over GIF, but note that the patent in question is now expired, and is no longer a consideration. PNG has some technical advantages over GIF, particularly variable transparency, but unfortunately that's not been correctly implemented in IE until IE7. Fortunately, beginning with IE5.5, it's possible to implement the correct behaviour of png transparency with IE-specific image filters - there are ready-to-use solutions, like PNG Behaviour. There are still some special situations where PNGs cause problems with IE, so the decision can not be made generally. It should be noted though, that these filters are usually only needed to implement transparent PNGs with an alpha channel, one bit transparency (like gif) should work out of the box.
Will the sprite be animated?
Ongoing animation can be distracting, but a quick animation is an effective way to convey what's happening. Consider how the "one-second" visual effects might be used:
- One-Second Spotlight: You might Materialise a sprite when it first appears, or you might Fade In the sprite when its subject to some action.
- One-Second Mutation: You might Form a sprite when it first appears, or you might rapidly Metamorphise it in a cycle, to provide the illusion of continuous change.
Real-World Examples
DHTML Lemmings
DTML Lemmings by Tino Zijdel ("Crisp") is a game which uses Sprites in their traditional gaming sense. Lemmings are shown performing different actions, and the characters change shape as they move around the game space. The entire thing is orchestrated with DOM and CSS scripting.
Google Maps
As discussed in the Solution above, Google Maps overlays the basic map with thumbtacks to highlight certain locations. As an interesting variant, look at the use of thumbtacks by Housing Maps, the Maps-Craigslist mashup overviewed in Cross-Domain Proxy.
Quek is a fun use of sprites as chat avatars. The application is a "chat-and-surf" program, meaning that Quek users can chat about a website they're visiting at the same time. Traditionally, such applications have involved downloads or plugins, but Quek aims for a completely Ajaxian experience. It works by rendering the entire target website, so you're always actually on a Quek page, but the page looks like the same as the target site.
The chat is supported by avatars, Sprites representing the users. Logging into Quek, each user is assigned a unique Sprite consisting of an image, a text ID underneath the image, and an input box (visible only on the user's own avatar). Typing in the input box animates the avatar image, and clicking Enter submits the mssage for all to see. The user is free to drag the avatars around the page. So the appearance is several avatars moving around and talking to each other, with the web page as a backdrop.
WMD Tank Battle
WMD Tank Battle is another example of Sprites used in the gaming sense. The technique is used for map display and simple animation in a persistent world.
Code Examples
DHTML Lemmings
DHTML Lemmings involves the most sophisticated use of Sprites I know of. The analysis here is only a rough summary of what's achieved. Note that the code uses some special handling for IE, which the author, Tino, explained to me is due to a well-known bug where IE bypasses the cache upon any background style change. To keep it simple, the following discussion skims overt IE-specific handling.
In DHTML Lemmings, each lemming is represented by a Lemming class, initialised with a number to identify the lemming, and an initial position corresponding to the place where the lemming first appears on this particular level. Various other state information is also tracked.
function Lemming(i,top,left) { ... this.top = top; this.left = left; ... this.number = i; ... }
function Lemming(i,top,left) { ... var l = document.createElement('div'); l.number = i; l.className = 'lemming'; l.style.top = top+'px'; l.style.left = left+'px'; ... l.onmouseover = lemming_target_on; l.onmouseout = lemming_target_off; l.onmousedown = lemming_target_sel; .. }
At any time, each lemming is performing a single action, such as walking or climbing, and the action is tracked by a property of Lemming, "ani". When the game begins, the lemming falls from a trapdoor, so ani is always initialised to "fall".
function Lemming(i,top,left) { this.ani = 'fall'; }
Each type of action requires unique animation and movement. A periodic timer ticks every 60 milliseconds, and updates the game's state, including each lemmings' appearance and positioning. Here's how the animation works. Each action has a collection of 32x32-pixel icons associated with it. The icons are all retained in a single image, with the icons strung together horizontally. The lemming's backgroundImage style is always set to the entire image associated with its current action. Because the lemming image is set to 32 pixels, with overflow hidden, you will only ever see one of the icons. To select the appropriate icon, the backgroundPosition property is set. Thus, the backgroundImage remains fixed while the lemming is performing some action, but the backgroundPosition flows rapidly through each of the icons, decrementing by 32 pixels each time until it reaches zero, then back round again.
A single image depicting the entire floating sequence.To depict an activity, the sprite's backgroundImage is fixed to one image, while backgroundPosition continuously cycles through each icon in the sequence.
Whenever the action changes, the script sets the image and initalises the position. Then, for each "tick" of the timer, the icon is rotated by altering the position of the reference image.
Lemming.prototype.changeAnimation = function(ani) { ... this.pos.backgroundImage = lem[ani][this.dir]; this.pos.backgroundPosition = '0px'; ... } function lemming_animate(i) { if (l.curleft == l.maxleft) l.curleft = 0; else l.curleft -= 32; if (ie) l.imgpos.left = l.curleft+'px'; else l.pos.backgroundPosition = l.curleft+'px'; }
Why is the appearance changed using backgroundPositon? Wouldn't it be simpler to just run through a sequence of separate image files, and alter the backgroundImage instead? Via email, Tino explained the reason is performance: The image is held in memory, whereas image-swapping would require images to be retrieved from the cache.
As for motion, each "tick" delegates to a Strategy function for the action taking place. The Strategy function then directly manipulates the Sprite's position. So to model a lemming falling vertically, the div's top increases with each tick:
function lemming_fall_ani(l) { ... l.top += 4; ... }
Likewise, a walking action involves a change to the left property.
function lemming_walk_ani(l) { l.left += l.dx; }
Tiling is a technique in which a big image is built up from small tiles. In fact, Google Maps works this way - each map image is actually a grid of smaller image files. The benefit is that the browser will cache each tile in memory. So if you pan a little in one direction, only the new tiles need to be downloaded. Like Sprites, tiling is a technique you can use to change visual content without extracting everything from the server. And Google Maps shows the two techniques combine effectively.
Related Patterns
Popup is a close cousin of Sprite, as they are defined here, and some examples arguably fit both patterns. Both share the appearance of being "in front of" the rest of the document, typically implemented with the zIndex style. But they differ semantically. The Sprite pattern is intended to cover small objects, often draggable, animated, and icon-like. Often, Sprites are a standard fixture of the application, often have a sense of unique identity, and remain present throughout the application. Popup is more about a transient, informational, block of content which appears to show something or accept some input, then vanishes again. Popups tend to be larger, more text-based, and often dynamic in content.
Sprites can often be dragged around a space.
Visual Metaphor
Think of a 20th century cartoonist creating a mouse's walking sequence onto a series of transparent "cel" sheets, to eventually be overlayed on a background scene.

Author Michael J. Heitzler, Ed.D. transports readers across "The Goose Creek Bridge" (published by AuthorHouse) to explore the fundamental characteristics and epochal transitions of Saint James, Goose Creek Parish, one of the most historically important neighborhoods in North America.
Comprehensive and carefully documented, "The Goose Creek Bridge" divulges the social and political significance of a small section of South Carolina through the ages by introducing local personalities such as the "Goose Creek Men" who were seen as the tip of the spear for the British empire in North America and who impacted prevailing policies during a major turning point in colonial history.
"The characters and stories in the book are vibrant and the lessons are transferable to many other places," Heitzler says. "Nuances of everyday life in Goose Creek illuminate the relevant aspects of the varying eras from the Carolina frontier to the emerging institutions of the old south in the twentieth century."
Heitzler begins each of the 10 chapters with one or more characters crossing the Goose Creek Bridge, interacting and impacting upon the community within their context and during each era of the 330-year saga.
"Goose Creek is a little-known community that played a vital role in the development of South Carolina as well as the source of institutions that impacted the nation," he says.
Heitzler, a retired educator and current mayor of Goose Creek, set out to describe the history of the local community after realizing part of the story was missing, he says.
"Local history is a window to a wider world reflected by better known places, people and players," Heitzler says.

Sky Sports News Radio presenter Mikey Burrows hosts this week's Podcast and is joined in the studio by TEAMtalk.com Editor Simon Wilkes and his Deputy Editor James Marshment.
All three journalists were working on Thursday so give their insight on covering the craziest day in the winter window, which had a comical feel to it thanks to Odemwingie's unauthorised trip to Loftus Road in a bid to force through his move from West Brom to QPR.
Albion fan Wilkes hopes he will be welcomed back into the first-team fold despite his erratic behaviour, whereas Marshment and Burrows are in far less forgiving mood.
The trio debate Butland's surprise move to the Potteries and also pour praise on Beckham after his decision to join PSG and give all his wages to charity.
Marshment also assesses Leeds United's final day of business, which saw Luciano Becchio head to Carrow Road in a swap deal for Steve Morison.

I started out as little miss goody two shoes. Way back in the day I always turned things in on top, did my assigned reading and went above and beyond. However, right about the time that boys became interesting I sort of started slacking.
I remember the first C I got. Art class in SEVENTH GRADE. Yes, I got a C in seventh grade. But let me tell you that I can't draw a straight line. I am not artistic. I love to write and to me that's my "art". But painting, drawing, ceramics, art history - they all mean nothing to me. So I wasn't entirely heartbroken with that grade. I still did decent through most of junior high.
High school was a little worse. I was HORRIBLE in math. They introduced this new math program in Minnesota and I was thrown into that. The way math was described in that program just made no sense to me. I struggled. A lot. I also had a hard time getting assignments done on time because I spent a lot of my time being interested in boys. School just didn't seem as important. I always heard, "Krysten is so smart if she'd just do the work." The problem is that I didn't like doing the work. I would put things off until the very last second and then if it meant I had to stay up late I'd just forgo doing well on the assignment for sleep. Not good. But I still got through high school without too much damage.
Then came college. I'm not sure if it's because the only person that can hold you accountable for going to class is YOU or what but my first year of college was BAD. I was kind of homesick, I didn't like my roommate, I felt shy and I realized that it was super easy to ditch classes. I also fell in love hard for the first time and once that happened school was all downhill. By the end of the year there wasn't much hope for me. I felt like a bad person and I had no idea what to do.
I moved home for my sophomore year and that's the only time I did well in college. I liked the community college I was at but at the time I believed that community colleges were for people who couldn't get into a four year college (a belief I have since changed). So after that year I was accepted to a four year school closer to home. It should have been perfect.
Except the boy issues were still going on and the ditching classes was still going on. At this point I simply felt uncomfortable in classes. Because I'd screwed up my freshman year I still had freshman classes to take. So I was a 21 year old in classes with 18 year olds. And they all seemed to have their acts together when I didn't. And that's how the rest of my schooling has gone. Although the boy crazy stuff faded away I still constantly felt the need to skip classes because A) I wanted to sleep / have time before work / just didn't feel like it and B) I felt uncomfortable being older than everyone else.
So now here I am. 26 years old with a smattering of random classes that I've passed and a smattering of classes that I've failed. It's hard for me to put all this out there because in my own eyes I feel like an idiot for having thrown my college years away and because part of me is scared this will all happen again. I am hopeful that online classes will be my answer. It won't matter if I'm older than everyone else because I'll be behind a computer screen. And I can work on my classes whenever I feel like it.
I am hopeful this time around. Because part of me feels like this is my last chance.
More soon.

The genomes of individual organisms and systems of organisms (e.g., plants, microbes, and their communities) provide the genetic blueprints that determine structure and function across multiple scales of biological organization. ORNL researchers are using genomic-based approaches to predictively understand the fundamental principles that control complex biological systems important to clean energy and environmental applications. Multidisciplinary genomic science research and communication resources at ORNL include the following:
Plant systems biology research at ORNL seeks to explore and understand the networks of genes, proteins, metabolites, and environmental signals that lead to complex phenotypes in plant species relevant to U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) missions in energy, climate, and environment. The main goal of this research is to link genes to phenotypes using a holistic approach involving gene identification, gene expression, and phenotypic characterization. Making these connections will help identify the emerging principles related to plant functions important in biofuels development and carbon cycling and sequestration. The approaches used in this research encompass quantitative, statistical, and molecular genetics; molecular biology; model system interrogations; computational studies (in conjunction with the DOE Systems Biology Knowledgebase); synthetic biology and novel biosystems design; and fundamental studies of plant development and physiology.
As experts in these areas, ORNL researchers apply transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, imaging, and bioinformatics approaches to study plant models ranging from perennial dicots and monocots (Populus, Panicum, Kalanchoe, Agave, and Clusia) to annuals (Arabidopsis) to mosses (Sphagnum). These researchers collaborate with several DOE-funded institutions (e.g., the Joint Genome Institute, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and National Renewable Energy Laboratory) and many national and international academic institutions.
Current projects center on bioenergy research; carbon sequestration, allocation, and cycling; plant responses to climate change; and plant-microbe interactions. Three specific goals include:
The boundaries between experimental and computational research, between traditional biochemistry, microbiology, ecology, and evolutionary biology are being dissolved by interdisciplinary research enabled by genomic approaches to study biological systems.
Systems genetics research at ORNL spans multiple biological disciplines and is primarily supported by projects within DOE's Office of Biological and Environmental Research, such as the BioEnergy Science Center and the Plant-Microbe Interfaces scientific focus area. This research also involves individual investigator–driven projects from DOE and other sponsors. Subject areas include (1) biofuels and microbial engineering, (2) the roles of individual microbial species and microbial communities in plant development and large-scale processes, (3) toxic metals cycling and bioremediation, and (4) microbial roles in carbon and nitrogen cycles under climate change scenarios.
As part of these research areas, ORNL scientists are studying organisms (e.g., archaea, bacteria, and fungi) from diverse environments, such as terrestrial geothermal and marine hydrothermal systems, soils and plant rhizospheres, subsurface aquifers, forests, and bogs. A wide range of approaches is used, including:
Mouse genetics research involves collaboration with the University of Tennessee (UT) and is aimed at examining body responses to low doses of ionizing radiation. Research funded by other federal agencies includes studies conducted under the National Institutes of Health Human Microbiome Project.
Systems genetics scientists are integrated with UT's research and educational system, and several are joint faculty appointees. This research area also includes postdoctoral scientists and graduate students.
Metabolomics is the analysis of the complete set of an organism's metabolites (small molecule products of cellular processes), referred to as the metabolome. Metabolomic characterization helps determine which enzyme-mediated reactions and biochemical pathways are active and thus provides a metabolic snapshot of an organism, and can be used to determine the function of unknown genes.
ORNL metabolomics research leverages a powerful set of tools, such as metabolite separation and mass spectrometry, for phenotypic characterization of model and bioenergy-related organisms, including plants like Populus, Arabidopsis, Eucalyptus and Castanea, and microbes, such as Zymomonas mobilis, Thermoanaerobacter saccharolyticum, Caldicellulosiruptor bescii, and Clostridium thermocellum. This research is helping to answer important questions in bioenergy crop production, biomass deconstruction, biofuel production, environmental stress physiology, plant-microbe interactions (e.g., establishment of symbiosis, defense signaling, and pathogenic responses), and genomics. Goals of this research include the functional characterization of genes to accelerate the domestication of Populus for increased biomass production and drought tolerance for cultivation on marginal lands, ease of microbial deconstruction, and manipulating metabolite production for improved carbon sequestration and bioproduct formation. Work within this research area also involves developing new technologies and analytical protocols for plant physiology studies.
The goal of the Plant-Microbe Interfaces (PMI) scientific focus area (SFA) is to gain a deeper understanding of the diversity and functioning of mutually beneficial interactions between plants and microbes in the rhizosphere. The plant-microbe interface is the boundary across which a plant senses, interacts with, and may alter its associated biotic and abiotic environments. Understanding the exchange of energy, information, and materials across this interface at diverse spatial and temporal scales is the ultimate objective of the PMI project. Ongoing efforts focus on characterizing and interpreting such interfaces using systems comprising plants and microbes, particularly the poplar tree (Populus) and its microbial community. Understanding the inherent chemical and physical processes involved will facilitate natural routes to carbon cycling and sequestration in terrestrial environments, ecosystem response to climate change, and the development and management of renewable energy sources.
The PMI SFA integrates expertise in the areas of plant genomics, fungal and bacterial research, fungal ecology, analytical tool development, and computational biology and is based at ORNL, with collaborators at the University of Washington, Duke University, and INRA–Nancy in France.

Concerted communication is key to progress in cutting-edge science and public accountability. With support from DOE's Office of Science, the Biological and Environmental Research Information System (BERIS) has for more than 20 years been the primary communication resource supporting the genome programs of DOE's Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program. In 2009, BERIS' focus shifted to encompass communicating all of BER's science.
Integrating all facets of biological and environmental research is critical for spurring innovation at the most rapid pace and at the lowest cost. Moreover, scientific research involves a wide array of technologies, many just emerging, with new types of datasets that must be available to a larger, interdisciplinary research community. As such, BERIS seeks to facilitate and accelerate this integration and access through technical communication that spans diverse research areas. Key BERIS websites include

English National Opera presents Rossini's comic masterpiece – a prequel to 'The Marriage of Figaro', it remains as tuneful, ironic and funny as ever. Set in an elegant comic-opera vision of eighteenth-century Seville, Jonathan Miller's Tiepolo-inspired staging brilliantly intercuts the traditions of the Italian commedia dell'arte and the Whitehall farce.
The talented flautist-turned-conductor Jaime Martin, here
making his operatic debut, brings an authentic Hispanic touch to bear on this twenty-fifth anniversary revival.
Baritone Benedict Nelson is Figaro; lyric soprano Lucy Crowe returns as the feisty Rosina, and baritone Andrew Shore reprises his portrayal of Doctor Bartolo, the poor girl's pompous old fool of a guardian.
(Sung in English; running time: two hours and 50 minutes.)

Where to Drink Coffee in Reykjavík
A city that's dark as much as Reykjavík may find it needs a little extra shove in the morning some of the year—luckily for Icelanders and the visitors they host, a good cup of coffee is never far away in the capital city. Whether it's in a museum, a bookstore or on an unmarked neighborhood corner, the progressive coffee ideals of Scandinavia encircle Iceland as well as a place to rely on a more enlightened cup—even at the chain stores.

Upcoming Course Dates & Locations: View Schedule
Type of Course: eLearning
Most organizations need some form of security awareness content that meets compliance standards. While many of these organizations choose videos that simply "check the box," we believe that the time performing annual awareness training shouldn't simply be wasted — it should actually improve the behavior of the organization's users and move toward a more effective security culture.
Security Awareness training covers basic security fundamentals, including privacy, online security, social media and staying secure, appropriate use policies, and physical aspects of security.
The goal of this course is to educate all members of an enterprise organization on the aspects of security awareness as they perform their job functions.
This eLearning course was developed from the experiences of McAfee Foundstone consultants and managers, who actively practice network penetration engagements on many of the world's leading corporate, government, and military networks. Collectively, they have performed hundreds of web and e-commerce security assessments, as well as managed security programs at Big Five consulting firms, the United States Air Force, and on Wall Street. Foundstone instructors authored the best-selling "Hacking Exposed: Network Security Secrets & Solutions," one of the industry's most popular and respected computer security guides.
This course is intended for everyone who works in an enterprise-sized organization.

Carney salutes Richard Ben Cramer
White House press secretary Jay Carney on Tuesday hailed the late Richard Ben Cramer as "the greatest political journalist, ever."
"It is amazing in today's era of lightening communications how this already seems to be a moment that is passing, but it is worth pausing to remember perhaps in my mind the greatest political journalist, ever," Carney said.
Cramer, 62, died Monday, reportedly of complications from lung cancer.
Carney said that he got Cramer's book about the 1988 presidential campaign, "What it Takes," when he came to Washington as a reporter in 1993, and re-read parts of it after he was hired to work for Vice President Joe Biden, who had run for president in '88.
"It was the best read imaginable," Carney said.
"It is a series of portraits of men, in this case running for the highest office in the land, and they are all affectionate portraits," he said. "They are appreciative of each individual, their qualities and their failings, but everything is done with great affection for the process and the individuals."
"It's a joy to read so if you haven't already, go get it," he said.

Choice consists of the mental process of judging the merits of multiple options and selecting one of them. While a choice can be made between imagined options ("what would I do if ...?"), often a choice is made between real options, and followed by the corresponding action.

But if he is not a mediocre captain he will also be aware that during all this the ship is ploughing ahead with its ordinary velocity, and thus there is but a single moment when it is inconsequential whether he does this or does that. So also with a person-if he forgets to take into account the velocity-there eventually comes a moment where it is no longer a matter of an Either/Or, not because he has chosen, but because he has refrained from it, which also can be expressed by saying: Because others have chosen for him-or because he has lost himself.

I'm back for round 3 My short background - in 2009, 35 wks into pg with DD started developing high BP, bed rest, full blown pre-e, induction at 37 wks and then the super fun post partum pre-e with mag/sulf. All with midwives at a birthing center. Was on BP meds for 8 wks PP. 2011- 35 wks with DD high BP again, bed rest, starting raising so induction at 37 wks - don't think it was actually classified as pre-e but PIH (but I can't remember the details..it was only 19 mo ago!) with same midwife group. Was on BP meds for 15 mo PP.
Surprise pregnancy and we've moved half way across the country. I'd prefer to go the midwife and birthing center route again BUT the laws here are much different and so far I haven't found a midwife group that hasn't told me that they'd transfer me at the rise of BP at all. That doesn't make much sense for me to start with one care provider (and pay for one) to get sent to another at the final weeks (and pay for the full bill for another.) I'm 15 wks so I def need to find a place but the thought of a hospital birth is really freaking me out.
Any idea what the stats are for someone like me? I'm *assuming* I'll get at minimum PIH again. I spoke to my former midwife today and she said she'd recommend me start medication while pregnant this time even though I never have before.
Okay. So there ya go, little intro and a question

My first taste – so to speak – of French food was in a Florida high school Home Ec room watching Miss Moore make pains au chocolat from ready-made pop n' fresh dough and Hershey's bars and I thought it was the most elegant, exciting and exotic thing I had ever had. Over the next several years, I experienced French cuisine on the periphery, through the eyes of an American who saw something that was too fancy, too expensive to be within my reach. French cuisine was synonymous with Haute Cuisine and well out of either my price range or my cooking abilities.
In the close to thirty years that I have lived in France and been married to a Frenchman, being a part of a French family and completely immersed in the culture, my thinking about French food has changed. French cuisine has long been put on a pedestal and the myths or fantasy have been allowed to perpetuate. But what exactly is French cuisine? And how close to the fantasy is the reality?
French Cuisine. Italian Cuisine. Portuguese Cuisine. Such well-known, popular and rather celebrated cuisines yet how well do you really know them? Where does reality end and myth start?
How do YOU define French Cuisine? Italian and Portuguese?
This truly is a fascinating, multifaceted topic for food lovers, travellers and cooks! And we will be discussing this on Thursday at 10 a.m. EST (that is 4:00 p.m./16:00 here in Europe). I will be talking about French Cuisine on a Google+ hangout "So You Think You Know Food?" alongside illustrious fellow panelists and food experts Domenica Marchetti from Domenica Cooks, well-know author of 5 cookbooks on Italian Cuisine including Rustic Italian, The Glorious Vegetables of Italy and The Glorious Pasta of Italy, and David Leite, founder of the award-winning website Leite's Culinaria, accomplished food writer and author of The New Portuguese Table.
Domenica, David and I will be discussing the myths vs the realities of three cuisines: French, Italian and Portuguese. Jenni Field, baker, blogger at Pastry Chef Online and Google+ maven will be moderating the panel and Chef Dennis Littley, founder of G+ Food Bloggers Community is providing technical support as well as the perspective of a Professional chef.
We would love for you to join the hangout and be a part of the discussion. And start now by sharing with us here your definition of French Cuisine: how do you see French cuisine and French food; have your ideas about it changed over time and how? And if you have any questions, please leave them in a comment and I will be more than pleased to answer it during the hangout.
See you there!

Which Fancy Coffee Pourover Kettle is Right for Me?
I know what you're thinking: my manual coffee brewing technique would be just perfect if only I spent $120 on a stainless steel water kettle with perfectly angled tip, to ensure brilliant control over my water pouring—right? But it's true, a specifically tailored kettle allows slow, steady flow of water which produces a more balanced and nuanced cup. Come along, coffee grasshopper, and let's evaluate the options. More
