Love this. Classic misdirection. Send #69 galloping to the sidelines like Zuul in Ghostbusters, then when everyone is wondering what's going on with that guy have the kicker sail a Tim Tebow duck into the endzone for a two point conversion. Works every time. Like the old Packer power sweep. My only complaint is that the kicker decides to throw it into triple coverage instead of hitting this guy in the left corner.
Ah well. Something to go over in the film room I guess.

Six Online Degrees That Fit Your Schedule
If studying when and where you want sounds like the only way to fit school into your schedule - you're in luck. Here are six online degree programs just for you.
Work, family, pets, life - you've got a lot on your plate. All of which makes the idea of going back to school seem even more daunting. But there's still hope: Enrolling in an online program could help you get the education you need while juggling other responsibilities.
This is exactly the kind of flexibility that many students are looking for these days, as indicated by a recent study titled "Online College Students 2012: Comprehensive Data on Demands and Preferences" published by the Learning House, an organization that helps colleges develop online degree programs. Of the students surveyed, 68 percent said they enrolled in an online program to balance their family, work, and school responsibilities.
But how is that balance achieved? In part, freedom of time and place. According to the study, 64 percent of students said that another reason for enrolling in an online program is the ability to study anytime and anywhere.
Does a couch-based study session sound like a great way to fit school into your crazy schedule? Read on to learn more about the online degrees you could earn at home.
Online Degree #1: Paralegal Studies
If you have a passion for law and want to learn more about it in your free time, look into earning your associate's degree in paralegal studies online.
Online paralegal degrees teach students to conduct research and use legal language in the same manner as traditional degrees - all while giving students the flexibility they need, says Dani Babb, professor and online educational consultant.

What You Might Learn: As a paralegal student, you could learn how to use the online legal database LexisNexis and write briefs or other legal documents, says the College Board, an organization that administers the SAT exam. Most importantly, this program could help you prepare to work under the supervision of a lawyer to conduct investigations and keep records.
Potential Career Paths:*
- Paralegal
- Legal assistant
Online Degree #2: Computer Science
Earning an online bachelor's degree in computer science might be a great way to learn the ins and outs of the field from your home or office.
As an online computer science student, you could practice working on lab assignments on your own by using information found in forums, similar to the way information technology works, says Babb. And when you're studying wherever and whenever you can, sharing information online will quickly become a valuable resource.

Online Degree #3: Criminal Justice
If you're interested in learning about the justice system but need flexibility to make it happen, consider earning an online bachelor's degree in criminal justice.

Online Degree #4: Graphic Design
Are you a creative person who loves to sketch or illustrate? If so, you may want to sharpen those skills with an online bachelor's degree in graphic design.
Studying this program online has some surprising advantages due to the nature of the actual career. "Many graphic designers prefer or need to work alone," says Babb. So studying graphic design online seems like the logical choice. Not only that, but you might as well get used to working on your own. The U.S. Department of Labor reports that many graphic designers work independently and some telecommute.

Online Degree #5: Public Administration
If you're ready to learn more about public policies without having to commute to class, look into pursuing an online public administration degree.
Typically, public administration majors are already working in the field and want to advance their careers, says Babb. An online program provides the flexibility these students need to pursue their degrees and may be less daunting than a traditional program, Babb adds.

What You Might Learn: As a public administration student, you'll develop the skills you would need to bring diverse groups together and study how administrators enact policy at the local, state, and federal levels, says the College Board.

Online bachelor's degrees in education combine independent, self-directed learning with the kinds of hands-on experience you'd find in a traditional university setting, says Joan Mitchell, director of public relations at Western Governors University. "Students can also use online course communities to chat about course materials with fellow students."

NEW YORK (AP) - Two New York City Council committees are holding a hearing on glitches to the city's emergency 911 system that at times have forced phone operators to resort to pen and paper.
No calls coming into the system have been affected, but operators sometimes have had to go back to the old way of doing things, sending runners with hand-written messages to dispatchers who then radio emergency responders.
The city is undergoing a $2 billion modernization of its 911 system, including using new technology and building a new backup call center. But the new dispatch computer system has gone down a few times, lasting from a couple of minutes to about an hour.
The council committees on public safety and on fire and criminal justice services plan to meet Monday afternoon.

Are you having a beta done today? (((Hugs)))...praying for dropping levels !
No change today. I've stayed with light spotting-nothing on a pad, just when I have a BM-that's rust colored. No cramping AT ALL. I'll do another beta as soon as the lab opens tomorrow morning and see what that says. I talked with my OB yesterday. He said he's not really worried about the cysts other than the fact that there are two very well defined on one ovary. He said they both look like corpus luteum cysts with one looking "healthy" and the other not. So he worries that I released two eggs and both got caught, one is miscarrying and all the pain I had last week was that cyst breaking down/rupturing and that the other one is still healthy because there is a 2nd pregnancy. Not super common...but really none of my obstetric history is, so there you go He told me not to be surprised to see the HCG go back up with tomorrow's lab. The fact that it was 26 and then 15 is rather a fast decline considering I had positive tests between the two tests-on a digital no less. So I guess we'll see. I had to rearrange a few day trip plans I had with the girls for tomorrow because I'm not comfortable heading up into the hills on a hiking trip w/o any other adult and 4 hours away from the closest hospital. So I'm trying to be smart about this while also pushing ahead with life.
I was really thrown for an emotional loop yesterday afternoon. At the hospital John and I both agreed we were actually relieved at the probable outcome. We were in such a good place, able to say "I'm so glad we only have 2 kids" on our rough days without feeling horribly guilty over WHY we only have 2 kids, planning our life going forward with 2 kids, saving for a huge Europe trip with the girls for next summer, etc. And really, an IUP pregnancy is probably NOT the best outcome in our case. So we were ok, like really both felt relieved and ok. He went and got the girls from my mom's house and took them home to work from home while I went off to work. And I think putting on my happy face around all the guys at work-my dad and brother (who has been TTC with his wife for nearly 6 years now) included-just wore me down. About 4:30 I just kind of fell apart and realized I suddenly was NOT ok with the turn of events. I think the very tiny positive possibility of having a 3rd child in our home getting yanked away yet again just took a little while to trickle down to me. John told me he was feeling the same way and asked if I wanted to switch our savings goal to being for adoption instead since the $$ is about the same as for the trip we have planned. I really think that's not a decision we have to make right now. Doesn't matter what the goal is-the saving is the same process. And right now it would be an emotionally driven goal and not one that is necessarily a long-term drive. But it really threw me to be relieved and really truly fine and then suddenly not.
Today I'm ok. Not having any cramping at all and really not bleeding probably helps. We told the girls last night because when they got up and I wasn't home and John said I was at the hospital Scharae immediately asked if I was having another baby because the only times I've been at the hospital in their little lives has revolved around babies. Keira's response was "no, Scharae. She was spayed, remember?" So we did feel the need to tell them because they asked John over and over all afternoon where I was if I wasn't still at the hospital, why I had been there, etc. They seem to understand the idea of a pregnancy that is not likely to keep going so far, so that's good.
I imagine that what you are feeling is very normal. I'm still praying for you all.

So many hugs, Tif. I can only imagine how triggering this is after all you've been through.
This is MammaMia. I've lost my password.
Geez Tif, I'm just catching up. Huge hugs. I can only imagine what an emotional rollercoaster this whole process has been for you and will continue to be, one way or the other. I'm praying for you and your health, both physical and otherwise. Big big big big hugs!!!!!!

Oh wow Tif, I am just seeing this. I am sending lots of love and HUGS.
Oh my, you're just on a huge wave of emotions over the last few days. I don't think there's probably a single one of us that wouldn't be thinking and feeling the same things and I'm glad that you (although probably feeling every feeling in the book and thought) are able to say its not a decision that needs to be made right away!!
LOVE the spayed comment... and thinking of you!!!
Peaking in for any updates. Thinking of u guys.
No updates. Had another beta drawn this morning. The lab lady looked and said because of the fact that it's not a routine beta but one that's connected with a possibly more serious condition it isn't set to automatically email me. She isn't able to change that. So she told me about when the OB office should have the results back and told me a few different options for how to get the results instead of sitting through the weekend wondering.
I have no cramping at all today, still. Wednesday I had very slight cramping and light spotting. If I hadn't got the positives I would have thought "ok, period is on the way" and by today it would be my heavy day with BAD cramps. Nope. No cramps, the spotting is still light-I have a liner in "just in case" because I figure it's fairly inevitable that at some point I will start bleeding heavily. But as of now there's nothing ever on it, just on the TP when I wipe and even then it's more of a watery pink/rust so...
Thinking of you honey. I hope you're able to get the Beta results before EOD.

My blog about MCAD
Hope you hear something soon.
Down to 9 and I just move from spotting/no flow to a pretty good flow, although it looks more see-thru than my typical period flow, if that makes sense. Less opaque. No cramping though. The nurse I just called said that I should be pretty safe to consider myself out of the "ectopic watch" phase but that I still need to watch for crazy pain and hemorrhaging just because that can happen with any miscarriage.
Relieved to know and not spend all weekend waiting to see what's going on. And pissed at the situation. I just can't get over how hard we have tried to not get pregnant. And so if we did it should mean something, be "meant to be" and it isn't, at all.
i'm so sorry.
I'm sorry Tif.

Original Max Payne Game Producer Really Doesn't Like MovieAs head of the studio that took a producer-like role in the original Max Payne, 3D Realms CEO Scott Miller knows Max very well. And he didn't exactly like the film, not unlike the zillions of Americans who paid a combined $18 million to see it and hated it.
This news story contains plot spoilers.
"There are several fundamental story flaws ... in the film that have me shaking my head in bewilderment," Miller told Edge. And those flaws start right at the beginning--or rather, what should have been the beginning.
"A big problem with the film is that we do not really know what is driving Max until we see the flashback scene [mid-film] showing him coming home and finding his family murdered. In the game, we put this scene right at the front of the story for a reason!"
Then there's Jack Lupino, the drug man who was "lamely killed by one of the film's non-action characters" instead of Max himself. "The entire time we're told that this drug makes 1-in-100 people super-human, yet Lupino doesn't demonstrate this in the least," Miller said. "It should have taken a hail storm of bullets to bring him down, plus it should have been Max that kills him."
Given his personal involvement in the Duke Nukem film adaptation, Miller has talked his way into a challenge: make a better movie than Max Payne. Of course, in his opinion, he might find that a pretty easy task.

About the company
Designer: Regitze Overgaard
Regitze Overgaard is a standout among standouts. She finished training as a goldsmith in 1970 and graduated from the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts in 1976. She has collaborated with Georg Jensen since 1987 and has produced a number of the brand's most successful designs including the popular Magic, Infinity, Zephyr and Curve collections.Early in her career, her unique ability to capture nature's organic yet infinite lines in precious metals won her attention from art and design world luminaries. She pioneered the organic design style, perhaps more than anyone else did. Her inspiration may come from the light of a Nordic summer sky or water cascading over rocks or simply from movement. With distinctive elegance and purity, her jewellery expresses a freshness and modernity that radiates light and life.Regitze Overgaard works from the premise that jewellery should be as simple as possible; it should be the shape of the metal that wields artistic power, rather than external adornment. Her jewellery combines lightness and volume–the balance of this contrast is very difficult to strike.There is also an ongoing allusion to the human body in her work. This is important in any jewellery–the interaction of the metal with its wearer. In Overgaard's works, the form of the piece respects the natural curves of the body and accentuates it with a sense of style, elegance and individuality. Overgaard's collection betray a keen eye for the sublime forms that exist in nature.

New Berlin municipal union decertifies, donates money to charity
New Berlin library aides, clerical staff, police and fire dispatchers and inspectors have chosen not to recertify their union, and members are giving their share of collected dues back to the community in the form of donations to the New Berlin food pantry, HAWS and other charities.
Under new state law, public employee unions must recertify every year. But the same law strips most of the unions' bargaining powers away.
The New Berlin employees had been represented by Local 2676 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. The local represented 29 full-time and 21 part-time employees.
On Saturday, the union presented $5,935 to the New Berlin food pantry and $1,505 to HAWS to protect homeless and mistreated animals.
Members also requested that additional money be distributed to other charities such as the CAP Fund, St Jude Children's Research Hospital, Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity, Waukesha Special Olympics, the American Diabetes Association and the Susan G. Koman for the cure organization that fights cancer.» Read Full Article
Bankruptcy judge approves sale of YMCA properties
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Susan V. Kelley on Tuesday approved the sale of four suburban YMCA properties for a total of $9 million, marking an important step in the efforts to downsize and restructure the organization that has been mired in debt.
"This was a huge hurdle today for the mission of the Y, which will be stronger in the region," Julie Tolan, the president and CEO of the Milwaukee Y, said after the hearing. It will also allow the Milwaukee Y to begin to move forward to focus on its future as a smaller, urban YMCA, she said.
The YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee filed for bankruptcy protection in June, faced with $29 million in debt that threatened to sink the organization.
Under the court-approved sale, the YMCA of Central Waukesha County will purchase the Southwest Y in Greenfield, the Tri-County Y in Menomonee Falls and the West Suburban Y in Wauwatosa for $7 million in cash, with a possible $1 million more based on earnings in the next two years.
The Kettle Moraine YMCA will buy the Feith Family Ozaukee YMCA for $2 million in cash at closing. The closings are tentatively scheduled for Oct. 15.» Read Full Article

Preps football photos of the week: Sept. 26
Big conference games were a big part of high school football as the season continued in Week 6 on Sept. 26.
Now Newspapers and Lake Country Publications compiled the best photos shared on social media featuring teams from our coverage area, predominantly in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties.
Here's the best sights and sounds from Week 6.
Owners of former Parkland Mall lose appeal of lawsuit against Muskego
The District 2 Court of Appeals has affirmed a lower court decision to dismiss a Parkland Ventures' $46 million lawsuit against the city of Muskego in connection with the development of the former Parkland Mall site.
The lawsuit mainly alleges that the city conspired to illegally take the former Parkland Mall from its owner Parkland Venture by making it too difficult to develop. The defunct mall property is 10.8 acres at Janesville Road and Lannon Drive in Muskego.
The Court of Appeals has affirmed the Feb. 20, 2013, decision by Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Lee Dreyfuss Jr. to deny all the claims in the 2009 lawsuit, which contained allegations stemming from 1997.
Parkland Venture appealed in May 2013.
Proposed Waukesha County budget keeps property taxes flat
2015 budget proposed by County Executive Dan Vrakas.Total Waukesha County government spending in 2015 would drop $3 million from this year, to $279.1 million, under a
The county's general property tax levy needed to pay more than one-third of projected expenditures would increase slightly less than 1% to $100.49 million for 2015, up $987,100 from the county levy this year, according to budget documents.
Since property values rose about 3% countywide as of Jan. 1 this year, county government can cut its tax rate to generate the higher levy for 2015.
The proposed rate drops seven cents to $2.08 per $1,000 of equalized value. Most homeowners will see no change in the county's portion of their December tax bill.
Though the median home value rose to $246,300 as of Jan. 1, up $7,400, the owner of that home would pay $512 for the county portion of the 2015 tax bill, the same amount as this year. The tax bill impact on specific properties will vary depending on local assessments and changes in property values.» Read Full Article
Waukesha County authorities apprehend wanted man
man wanted on several warrants and last seen in Waukesha County — and who prompted authorities to appeal to the public for help in locating him — has been apprehended, authorities said Wednesday.A
Deputies arrested Donald Berry, 43, shortly before 8 a.m. Wednesday in the area of Townline Road and Garrett Drive in Vernon after a citizen reported seeing a man matching his description, according to a news release.
The man ran north on Guthrie Road, ignoring deputies' orders to stop, and eventually a department dog was used to apprehend him. Deputy Brad Schuenemann is the handler for the dog, named Soldier.
On Tuesday, Waukesha County sheriff's deputies released information about Berry, who was stopped by a deputy after he was called to a report of a man walking on Interstate 43 near Big Bend at 5:46 p.m. Monday, according to a news release.
Berry gave a false name to the deputy and fled on foot north on I-43, officials said.» Read Full Article
Opinion divided on Muskego letting people have chickens, other fowl
Muskego — With Muskego officials thinking about allowing residents to have chickens and other fowl, supporters seemed to slightly outnumber critics at last week's public hearing.
In the end, the Muskego Common Council approved the first reading of an ordinance allowing all fowl, although that may be narrowed to just chickens, on average residential lots of 120,000 square feet or more. Under the current proposal, all sorts of birds including turkeys, pheasants, geese and even peacocks would be allowed.
The proposed ordinance also requires neighbors to sign off on living next door to fowls, a provision that proved controversial at the hearing.
Detractors of the proposal to allow fowl on suburban lots said it would open up issues of cleanliness, noise and smell and would not be in keeping with a suburban community. Supporters' arguments included that the proposed ordinance requires cleanliness, limits the fowl to hens which don't make noise, that Muskego has a rural rather than a suburban feel, that chickens would provide health benefits by providing fresh eggs, and finally that communities such as Milwaukee and Madison allow chickens on much smaller lots than those in Muskego.
City staff surveyed several communities and found that some allow chickens on smaller lots and some don't. Those that do are New Berlin, Milwaukee with neighbors' approval, Madison, River Hills and Wauwatosa. Those that don't are Franklin except on lots of 3 or more acres, Greenfield, Oak Creek except on 5 acres and Greendale.» Read Full Article
Speakers say high-density slipping through on Little Muskego Lake
Muskego — A shell game is what most speakers called a proposed five-home gated development with a separate 12-unit condominium building on Little Muskego Lake at a public hearing last week.
The proposal is on Janesville Road north of Pioneer Road.
Several speakers told the Muskego Common Council that all the proposed building would be piled on half the 6.7-acre site, making for a high population density. But the developer maintains that the project qualifies for the required medium density because there is only one home on the rest of the land, so the housing units per acre meet the city's requirement.
The speakers called that a shell game. But Jeff Muenkel, community development director, said the city has given approvals of other developments on that basis.
But David Taube, Kingston Drive, a former alderman, said approving this could lead to overpopulation around the lake.» Read Full Article
Muskego — The Muskego Police Department last week opened enrollment in a new voluntary program designed to increase the safety and security of residents with special needs.
The purpose of the program is to identify children and adults with special needs. Having prior knowledge of a person's special needs, such as autism, hearing impairment, emotional or behavioral impairment, limited cognitive and communicative abilities or dementia will help police and emergency personnel resolve calls more effectively and safely, police said.
The program is called M-S.N.A.P., which stands for the Muskego Special Needs Awareness Program. There also is a senior component for those at least 65 years old. It's called M- S.N.A.P. Silver.
The program was inspired by a difference in the way children and adults are cared for now.
"We noticed in the last several years more and more families choosing to care for loved ones in the home," said Lt. David Constantineau.» Read Full Article
Preps football photos of the week: Sept. 19
Big conference games and intercity rivalries were a big part of high school football as the season continued in Week 5 on Sept. 19.
Now Newspapers and Lake Country Publications compiled the best photos shared on social media featuring teams from our coverage area, predominantly in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties.
Here's the best sights and sounds from Week 5.
Tosa West rushes to 31-10 win over Eisenhower
Wauwatosa West rushed for 379 yards and four touchdowns, and the defense didn't allow a touchdown as the Trojans rolled to a 31-10 victory over New Berlin Eisenhower on Sept. 19 at home.
The Trojans improved to 1-2 in the Woodland West Division and 3-2 overall, while the Lions fell to 1-2 and 2-3 overall.
West's star running back senior Demaris Purifoy rushed for 216 yards on 20 carries (10.8 average) and two touchdowns, while junior Truman Tyson ran for 61 yards in 7 carries (8.7) and a score. Sophomore Paris Howell added 60 yards on 11 carries (5.5) and a TD.
"I'm super happy," Howell said. "Our team came out, executed, did what we needed to do. I love playing with Demaris. He is one of the elite backs. Whenever I get the ball, he blocks for me. Whenever he gets the ball, I block for him. He's just a real dynamic player."
West coach Matt Good knows that both Howell and Tyson will have to play a role the rest of the way as teams try to stop Purifoy.» Read Full Article
All escape from devastating duplex fire in Muskego
All those living in a two-family Muskego duplex escaped a fire that engulfed the side-by-side structure about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 17.
One resident was treated for smoke inhalation and released at the scene.
The blaze was in the 14900 block of West Cornell Circle in Muskego. The Tess Corners Volunteer Fire Department was assisted by firefighters from New Berlin, Franklin, Vernon and Hales Corners.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
New Berlin schools "exceed expectations" on state report card
All six schools in the New Berlin School District increased their scores from 2013 to 2014 on the state-issued District and School Report Cards while six Muskego-Norway schools improved and two lost some ground.
All the New Berlin schools exceeded expectations and once again Elmwood Elementary School was in the "significantly exceeded expectations" category, as it was last year.
Two Muskego schools significantly exceeded expectations, five exceeded expectations and one met expectations.
The District and School Report Cards issued last week by the state Department of Public Instruction are intended to offer a better picture of how well individual schools prepare students to graduate ready for college and career.
Overall scores are based on four priority areas, each with its own rating of 0 to 100.» Read Full Article
City would pay $1.2 million to man shot by cops in home
The City of Milwaukee would pay $1.2 million to a Franklin man shot by city police in his home in 2006 during a SWAT team's forced entry and search of the residence, under a proposed settlement to be considered Tuesday by the Common Council.
Settlement negotiations were set in motion last November when a federal jury hearing the man's lawsuit against the city found that a police detective lied on a search warrant affidavit requesting the "no knock" warrant. A court commissioner approved the warrant allowing a SWAT team to break into the home of Richard Betker.
Betker was injured by police gunfire and suffered permanent disability, including the loss of a finger, in the August 2006 incident. Betker and his wife, Sharon, sued the city in federal court in 2008, claiming police violated their constitutional rights, specifically the fourth amendment's prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures. The couple's attorney called it a home invasion.
City Attorney Grant Langley has advised the Common Council to approve the settlement. This week, the council's Judiciary & Legislation Committee unanimously endorsed the proposal. The Finance & Personnel Committee on Wednesday unanimously approved a resolution to borrow the funds.
The officer in the incident, Detective Rodolfo Gomez Jr., got a tip in August 2006 about illegal weapons in the Betker home.» Read Full Article

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) -- Danielle Joe's ten-year-old son, Xavier (pictured above with Kem), died after an asthma attack. She said she called 911, but it took too long.
"I can't breathe. Where's the EMS?" Joe said as she recounted her son's last words Sunday.
The asthmatic had almost everything to get through an attack at home, but this time it was different. Nothing seemed to work.
"He called me back into the room and said, 'It's not working,'" Joe said. "I called EMS."
Joe got her neighbors involved. Xavier and his mom needed help. She called 911. She said she was transferred from Oak Park dispatch to Southfield. She explained she was put on hold and told "they couldn't find the EMS for my son."
Joe said more time passed and it felt like an hour. Fire officials said every minute must feel like eternity for family, but they have their own timeline.
Regardless of how many minutes passed, she had to do something. They ran outside with Xavier. A neighbor was ready to drive them to the hospital, but then he passed out. Neighbors laid him down to get CPR.
"She just got on the floor and she just kept doing CPR. It was a very, very, very long time," said Joe.
The Southfield Fire Department released this statement to Fox 2. "To the family, please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss... Our thoughts and prayers and with you and your loved ones during this difficult time. The facts of this incident are under review."
Late Tuesday afternoon, the Southfield Fire Chief told Fox 2 that at the same time that Xavier's call came in that night, there was also a major fire happening with one adult and four kids possibly trapped inside of a burning house. Many of their resources were diverted there.
"I would have wished that the EMS would have came because my baby was begging for them to come," Joe said.
Xavier wasn't only special to his family, he was special to the community. R&B artist Kem was doing a benefit for the homeless. Xavier decided to donate his allowance money to the cause.
If you would to help Xavier's family, a benefit will be held at the Opyum Lounge on Thursday, September 27 from 4:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. The Opyum is located at 24587 Eight Mile Road in Detroit. There is a $10 charge at the door.

Designing for Context: The Multiscreen Ecosystem
To create applications and systems that are easy to use, it is crucial to understand the user and the context in which the app will be used. Understanding the context helps design systems that anticipate use cases at a relevant time of use. The more unobtrusive and transparent the experience is at the time of use, the better the design. This means the user does not have to think about the device he is using, changes in the environment, or changes in context, and can rely on great functionality and ease of use independent of his situation.
In traditional systems, the context of use did not change much. Whether the use was in the office or at a personal computer at home, the surroundings were similar and there was no need to adapt to different environments. In today's world, smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smart TVs provide different services in different contexts. These services are consumed by a variety of users and require different interaction models, use cases, and planning. For this reason, UX professionals should first design for the context of use in order to provide better experiences and ultimately enhance the intended purpose of the product.
The Multiscreen App Ecosystem
Designing for context is especially important when designing for a multiscreen ecosystem, where multiple devices are all a part of one product.
Michal Levin, a UX designer at Google, describes multiscreen ecosystems in terms of three main categories. The first is consistent experience, where the application and the experience are similar across all screens. For example, the Google Search application provides the same search experience across all devices. The second category is the complementary experience, where devices work together and communicate with each other in order to create a unique experience. An example of this is Padracer, a racing game where the user's iPhone serves as the steering wheel and the iPad screen as the racetrack.
Padracer - a complementary multi-screen experience
Another example of a complementary multiscreen experience is SlingPlayer for mobile devices. A Slingbox is a device that allows you users to stream live television from their living room to mobile devices. Using the SlingPlayer application, users can watch or record their favorite programs from a remote location. Each device complements the other and the experience could not exist with just a single device.
SlingPlayer for tablet
The Continuous Multiscreen Experience
The third category of app ecosystems the continuous multiscreen experience, which is possibly the most important category for a contextual multiscreen design. For a continuous experience across several devices, UX professionals must evaluate when and where a product will be used in order to assess the optimal experience for the user at the time of use. AllRecipes is an example of a continuous ecosystem where one can search for recipes online using a desktop computer and add ingredients to create a shopping list. While shopping, this list is accessible using a smartphone, the device most likely to be carried while shopping. The app also allows one to scan products using the camera and receive additional recipe ideas with greater ease. When it's time to cook, an iPad can be brought into the kitchen for a cook-friendly interface with large fonts and big buttons so the user can touch the tablet with a knuckle in case of wet or messy fingers. The tablet's larger screen is a perfect size for the kitchen, much like a traditional cookbook resting on the counter.
Cook-friendly interface with large buttons for messy hands.
Eventbrite is another great example of a continuous multiscreen ecosystem. Users can register for an event through the Eventbrite website and receive an email ticket that they can print. Alternatively, users can download the mobile app for easy access to tickets and event information. The mobile app is ideal in this case because users will most likely take their smartphones to events to use a unique QR code as a ticket, which the app displays in high brightness and contrast for easy scanning in dark environments.
But the Eventbrite experience should not end there. The makers of Bizzabo, a new app designed to improve the social experience of conferences, believe in the importance of eye contact, handshakes, and face-to-face meetings. Their mobile app allows event organizers to import Eventbrite event information and engage directly with their attendees, while enabling professionals to network efficiently at conferences and meetups. This continuous experience is a natural evolution to the Eventbrite platform.
Eventbrite and Bizzabo, a continuous experience.
Additional Categories of Multiscreen Ecosystems
Precious, a studio based in Hamburg, Germany published a collection of additional multiscreen categories and scenarios to help understand and define strategies for the multiscreen world. It's a handy reference for discussing solutions for digital products and services.
Understanding The Story
Sarah Doody writes, "A product is more than an idea, it's more than a website, and it's more than a transaction or list of functionalities. A product should provide an experience or service that adds value to someone's life through fulfilling a need or satisfying a desire." Understanding how people use a product and telling their stories helps designs create better critical paths and experiences for each platform when designing for a continuous multiscreen ecosystem. For example, a social network might decide that image sharing plays a significant role in developing the value of the product by enhancing user engagement. Although the website is the perfect platform for sharing and keeping in touch with friends, the critical path in the smartphone application can be directed towards the camera. Smartphones are carried everywhere, so a camera is always at arm's reach. The images can then be synched with a tablet, which is an ideal platform for image sharing and manipulation because of its larger screen. Those images can be streamed directly from the tablet to a smart TV when friends come to visit, rounding out a great value for people who use the entire ecosystem.
Contextual Paths
When we understand how context affects usage for each device, we can create contextual paths to help guide the design for a multiscreen ecosystem. For example, a responsive website for a large city tells visitors what to do when in town, shows maps of public transportation, and provides directories of municipal services. To adapt to the context of a mobile platform, this same website should provide different paths according to the context to accommodate users on the go, typically by focusing on location-specific information such as bus routes. To determine these paths, designers can utilize web analytics to evaluate what users look for when using different platforms.
Device for Context
After doing some research I have accumulated some experience in understanding the basic context assumption for the various device types:
The idea that smartphone users are generally on-the-go outside the home, using the device as a substitute or a replacement for the personal computer is a misconception. Rather, smartphones are becoming a platform of their own and not a substitute for the computer, both at home and on-the-go.
However, it is safe to assume that the smartphone is always within reach throughout the day. With the rise of other convenient devices for media consumption (e.g., tablets), users mainly use smartphones for micro-tasks: looking for quick information, killing time, and social sharing.
Because the smartphone is always within reach, the context of use could be understood in terms of the application's intended purpose. An example of this is Evernote, a multiscreen ecosystem that allows you to take notes, create to-do lists, clip articles, and save URLs. Evernote makes these notes completely searchable whether you are at home, at work, or on the go. In its mobile app, Evernote understands the mobile context and provides quick access for text notes, photo capture, and voice dictation. By utilizing the device capabilities and providing a quick way to save ideas, Eventbrite turns smartphones into a great note-taking platform.
Our Mobile Planet is a great resource for understanding the mobile consumer. The insights within this website are a result of an extensive technology research project commissioned by Google for understanding the smartphone adoption and usage around the world.
Tablets are mostly used for media consumption, reading books, browsing news, and checking emails. People may use smartphones to look for a quick article to kill the three minutes waiting for a train; once on the train, they may take out the iPad for the hour it takes them to ride home (Usability of iPad Apps and Websites). Tablets are used in environments not conducive to a keyboard and mouse such as lying in bed, watching television, or standing. Because of its lighter weight in comparison to a laptop, the tablet is easily carried; however, its main usage is within the home. Most tablet owners use the device daily for an average of 90 minutes a day, mostly on weekdays.
Because the screen of a tablet is larger than that of a smartphone, the tablet is ideal for reading and viewing media such as images and movies, and the larger virtual keyboard is more convenient for writing emails and note-taking. However, the tablet is not currently considered a work tool for most people, nor is a replacement to the desktop computer; it is merely a more convenient way to consume media and surf the Web away from the office desk or the typical computer environment.
As technology advances, future tablets will have the power to replace the laptop PC. With the upcoming release of Windows 8, an operating system geared to touch devices and personal computers, there will most likely be a shift in the market, and perhaps one day the tablet (with an auxiliary keyboard) may replace the laptop altogether.
Tablets are a perfect platform for reading. Pocket (formally known as Read it Later) is a great example of an app that uses the tablet to enhance a consistent multiscreen experience. When the user finds something on the Web while using a desktop PC or laptop that he wants to view or read later, he simply puts it in Pocket. Pocket captures those reading items and displays them in a clean, easy-to-read layout on a tablet (or a smartphone), creating a personalized magazine for the individual user.
Personal computers (desktop or laptop)
People use personal computers for two completely different functions: for work and for leisure. Because personal computers are found in almost every home and office, it is essential to consider them when designing for a multi-screen ecosystem. Oftentimes, users will look for an application or find something they're interested in while surfing the Web on a personal computer, and then continue the interaction onto other devices. Personal computers are also used to backup files and images, and users often revert back to the computer for the most important tasks in their daily routines.
Mouse and keyboard ergonomics and the advanced processing powers of personal computers provide an efficient working environment. When designing multiscreen ecosystems, UX professionals can utilize additional devices to serve as auxiliary screens. For example, with Adobe Nav and a network connection between an iPad and a computer, users can move the Photoshop toolbar onto the tablet and customize it to more easily access the toolbar without crowding the main interface, creating an even more efficient environment.
Smart TVs
Smart TV is a general term for a new generation television viewing experiences where the TV (or a specialized device connected to it, such as an Apple TV) has Internet connectivity and can run applications (e.g., Netflix) and video processing utilities.
Designing for television screens is also known as "designing for the 10-foot experience" because, from the distance of the living room couch, the apparent size of elements on the screen is noticeably smaller compared to a computer screen, where the user's eyes are typically less than two feet (60 cm) from the display. When designing for the context of smart TVs, one can assume that users are in a very comfortable setting in their living rooms, often wanting to relax, to be entertained, and to interact with people who are in the room with them. The interaction with this device could last a few hours or longer.
The preferred television input device is a remote control. For the most part, people don't want to use a mouse and keyboard when they're watching television. This means the UI has to be simple and obvious, and users must be able to navigate with their thumbs without looking at the input device.
With devices like Google TV or Apple TV using AirPlay, smart TVs can integrate with other devices such as smartphones and tablets. For example, a tablet can be used as a program guide and as a way to read more about the program currently being watched. Or for a multiscreen experience, a user can begin watching a show on her laptop and then switch to her television for a more comfortable environment. The move between each device is synced and seamless to the user.
Following up his 2011 article Re-Thinking User Interface Design for the TV Platform, Jim Mischel noted in an interview: "A good way to satisfy the television user is by presenting a simple user interface on a tablet or phone. The tablet/phone presents the interface, and the user's input on that device controls the television. Note that this is only important when dealing with short-format content. If the user is going to watch an hour-long television show or a two-hour movie, then Web interfaces like Hulu, or cumbersome cable TV-like interfaces are okay. The user is willing to put up with a little aggravation if the reward is an hour or two of uninterrupted entertainment. But if the user is watching YouTube videos or consuming other short format content, the user interface has to be simple. Really simple. The user can't be bothered with having to go through a ton of menus every three minutes."
The television could also serve as an extension to other devices, using the large display for streaming media or images from the tablet or using a high-quality sound system for better audio experiences. A good example of this is Sting 25, an app celebrating the life and work of the musician Sting. It allows a dual-screen AirPlay viewing of exclusive concert footage wirelessly on a smart TV while exploring additional content on an iPad.
A natural user interface (NUI) is an emerging concept in human–computer interaction, and refers to an interface that allows a user to control a tool or digital content using relatively natural means of communication. The goal of NUI is to make computing and technology simple to use, everywhere around us, accessible to people with minimal technical expertise, reliable and more intuitive. With a motion-sensing input device technology like Microsoft's Kinect, the living room environment becomes a setting for an even greater TV experience. For example, face recognition software could detect a person and flip through his favorite channels as he taps two fingers together or waves his hand, and a voice command could initiate more complex actions.
Here is a demonstration of gesture controls by PrimeSense, an Israeli Company specializing in NUIs:
Designing for context is about aligning the purpose of a product with the user's requirements at any given time or in any given situation. By evaluating each platform against the story of the users and how (or where) they use the product, designers can create better flows across and within the ecosystem. Creating these product ecosystems turns smart devices into smart displays. These smart displays follow users throughout their day and help drive the experience, allowing users to engage with the product more than ever before.

An important aspect this article is missing is what to do when more than one user wants to interact with the same device; eg. when a family is sitting all together in the living room and they want to share with each other pictures they've taken during the day with their personal smartphone via the television screen. When the boy of the family wants to show a picture, he must be able to 'pop' the image to the television screen, but also the other way around should be possible; eg. when mom likes the picture and she wants to add it to the gallery on her smartphone, she should be able to 'throw' the picture from the television screen to her smartphone to copy it. For these kind of purposes, research has been done to use extended drag-and-drop functionality. However, with this approach problems with usability (heterogeneity of displays), scalability (increasing space), transparency and multiple pointers arise. Therefore, I suggest to use a model called M-CIU (multi-computer, multi-instrument and multi-user) as a way to implement these extended drag-and-drop functionality. In this model drag-and-drop managers are playing a central part as they are responsible for the registration of source and target components. So every device that uses a certain component, must run such a manager. Let's make this a bit more clear by reconsidering my example from above. When the boy wants to pop a picture from his smartphone to the television screen, the dnd-manager of his smartphone starts a master push-and-pop manipulation that communicates with two slaves push-and-pops of which one runs at the dnd-manager of the television screen, and the other at the dnd-manager of the smartphone. More or less the same happens in the case of the mother. The dnd-manager of her smartphone starts in this case a master push-and-throw manipulation that communicates with two slaves push-and-throws. And again, one slave runs at the dnd-manager of the television screen, and the other at the dnd-manager of the smartphone.
Sorry to swing with difficult words right from the start, but most of the examples of what you call 'context' is from the viewpoint of gestalt phenomenology called the theme [of attention]. A lot of the examples you show are just better ways/interfaces to keep focussed on the task of the app or single'ish-purpose-device; keeping attention to the theme.
Evernote may be an example of a sort of context enabling program, in that you can quickly open it and jot down things that just occurred to you, but aren't really your focus at the moment. A context-aware thing might be a reminder at 17:00 with your shopping list when you haven't been near a mall today. It has more to do with the periphery of attention, that will probably be of importance to focus on in the near future (intentions). For example SlingPlayer would be able to notify you of a recording has been made at home, even if it's on the other side of the planet. A webapp like Prismatic learns your preferences, in a way it tries to deliver serendipity within your context. Sort of as a hint, it tells you that you may want to focus for a while on a specific item that it shows (so: put it as your theme of attention).
Some reference: http://www.springerlink.com/content/h40159h305632035/ ; for a philosophy paper quotes a lot of current science in psychology, neurology, etc.
Might be nice to try to keep a consistent vocabulary with the people who have thought about these sort of things for a while (past century or so ;) ). Or maybe I wrongly assume that the viewpoint of attention is also the appropriate viewpoint in UX.
A very good article with relevant examples and resources, thank you! Context of use is particular important to consider for all UX professionals. There's various techniques out there that can support this process, one I found particularly useful was role-play & improv to help generate requirements with users, scenarios and storyboards. Are you able to share other techniques you've used to help support design & build of multiscreen ecosystems?

A Typical Day in the Life at Ada FoahWednesday, June 16th, 2010
Wednesday, June 16
7:15 am
Wake up. Say good morning to Gladys, the nice grandma I'm staying with. Say hi to Kofi, her grandson who helps out around the house. He will probably insist on filling my water bottle or giving me some sliced fruit (washed and peeled, don't worry Mom or CPGC).
8 am
Breakfast at Headmaster Samuel's, made by his lovely wife Euphemia. Maybe an omelet and tea bread. Maybe oatmeal and bread with that French cheese that comes in packets and has a cow on the packaging.
8:30 am
School: Presby JHS (Junior High School)
8:45 am
Teach my first class, probably creative arts at the primary school. Remind the kids to look at what they're drawing, not just draw what they think they see. Look at the million pictures kids are waving in my face and get excited by how excited they are.
9:45 am
Sit and read in the teachers' office until they give me something to do. Make small talk with the other teachers. Hear about what they wish they could do and all the setbacks at the school. Wait out the rain, cause it's probably raining.
10:30 am
Teach creative writing maybe, or lead a French learning game. If it's the former, help the kids come up with a story they would enjoy writing about. If it's the latter, the game will probably involve drawing or charades, and me speaking very slowly in both French and English because they have trouble with both.
11:15 am
Sit in on Mr. Isaac's French class, or possibly Mr. Fred's ICT (Information Computing Technology, or something like that). Find it interesting but maybe zone out a little.
12 pm
Sit in the office and read for a bit.
12:45 pm
Head to lunch at Euphemia's. Maybe fufu and chicken stew, maybe banku and fish stew (various doughy grain dishes made of combinations of maize, plantain, and cassava).
1:45 pm
Work on Theatre Spectacular, the play JHS is putting on in collaboration with the Junior Art Club. Go through lines a bit, then lead tongue twisters and exercises to loosen the kids up. Direct blocking and acting and help prompt lines.
3 pm
Head home. Try not to get my legs covered in red dirt from the road.
3:45 pm
Go for a run on the road along the beach. Wave at the people who stare at me. Wave extra at the kids screaming out "Obruni" and running after me. (Seriously, it's like having my own marathon cheering section).
5 pm
Shower and do laundry (by hand! the bane of my existence).
7 pm
Dinner at Euphemia's. Maybe watermelon and fried rice or stew. Maybe this thing I just ate that I think is called obolo (spelling?). It's a sweet, pale doughy crescent made of maize, and you can eat it along with scoops of a tiny tiny fried fish they get from the river here.
8 pm
Go to the internet café or watch an African movie at Euphemia's. Last week I saw the Nigerian film "Buy Me a Rose." I found the elevator music that accompanied the raucous pool party scene especially amusing.
9:15 pm
Sit and talk with Gladys and Kofi, read, write in my journal. Maybe I'll show them my pictures of my friends and family from home. Kofi will have some serious trouble picking out which one is me in pictures with my friends. First he'll think I'm Emma, then Izzy, then Lizzy, and in another one Jamie. We all look the same to him.
11:15 pm


text:
Someone on Reddit posted a picture that their friend's daughter drew (above) after being assigned to write a one sentence about a family member and draw a picture.
Well now.
Bet the teacher got a good laugh about it. Or they got on the phone immediately and called the mom who I would assume would be super embarrassed?? I would be. Which is why I only drink wine from a dark plastic cup in the dark after my kids go to bed. ;)

Seriously though, the thing actually does serve a purpose. It swims around, samples water quality and cialis erectile dysfunction takes pictures. If they mix that in with a satalite uplink, some pretty powerful AI and a GPS, and we're on our way to a robot that can keep us more informed on the state of the world's oceans.

Do you know if they'll be coming out with a micro-sized one that I can use in my fishtank? Are there any rules about if it's dumb enough to bite the worm on the end of my fishing line? Finally, a serious question: is it battery powered, solar, etc? Don't really see a way to refuel him.

Buyers can choose from two varieties of 2008 Audi A6 sedan (there is also a high-performance S6 variant), the V6-powered 3.2 and V8-powered 4.2. Neither will set the world ablaze with their acceleration, but these world-class engines manage to propel the A6 with more than enough gusto for most luxury buyers. For those interested in extra utility, the sleek A6 Avant wagon is an excellent choice, providing arguably more style than the 100mg levitra other wagons in its class can muster.

Utah's unemployment rate in October fell for the third consecutive month, while job growth accelerated to a four-month high, the state Department of Workforce Services said Friday.
The jobless rate fell to 5.2 percent last month, down from 5.4 percent in September. Although that rate is at its lowest level since November 2008, 70,800 Utahns are still unemployed, according to the department.

The U.S. unemployment rate was 7.9 percent in October, up 0.1 percentage point from the previous month
Employment in Utah expanded by 2.3 percent from October 2011, a 12-month increase of 28,300 jobs, the department said. Nationally, employment grew just 1.4 percent.
Mark Knold, the Workforce Services chief economist, said the latest decline in the unemployment rate, coupled with what he said was probably a conservative estimate of job growth that will be revised upward to close to 3.5 percent, suggests Utah's recovery from the recession and tepid recovery continues to pick up speed.
"There is still a lot of repair left to be done from the recession setback, but we are certainly moving a lot faster down that trail than we were a year ago," Knold said.
"It's a multiyear trail, but this is a good pace."
With the exception of construction and government, all sectors of Utah's economy contributed to job growth. The most robust category was professional and business services, which added 10,800 jobs over the last 12 months. Construction lost 1,200 jobs; government employment was off by 900 jobs.
The trade, transportation and utilities sector was the second-most active area of Utah's economy, with 4,300 hires over the past year. Much of the activity is taking place at C.R. England, the giant Salt Lake City-based trucking company. It's put on 1,400 new drivers since January.
"We have basically an endless supply of openings," Thom Pronk, vice president of recruiting, said Friday.
"We are in a pretty aggressive growth mode, both in terms of adding equipment, but also teams, two drivers in a truck. Heading into the fourth quarter, it's just as big a strategic issue as anything," Pronk said.
In part, England is hiring is because of an industrywide shortage of truck drivers, estimated at 50,000 to 250,000 positions. That's kept Pronk busy.
Business conditions are another reason. England's core business is hauling loads that must be refrigerated, and the company has landed a lot of contracts recently.
"There's no top end [to the number of drivers England wants to hire]. We'll take all of them that we can get," Pronk said.
Utah's unemployment rate peaked in December 2009. For months, the rate fell because thousands of discouraged jobseekers dropped out of the labor market. That changed about a year ago. The rate continued to fall, but it was because the economy was finally healing, Knold said.
"For two years, the unemployment rate came down for negative reasons, meaning people were leaving the labor force. For the last year, it's falling for positive reasons — more people are finding jobs," he said.

Exercise balls force muscles to provide a stabilizing effect thus providing more muscle stimulation.
