Progressive Enhancement 101: Overview and Best Practices
With an ever-growing variety of browsing situations and platforms that must be supported, the concept of progressive enhancement has become a hot topic of conversation. Put simply, progressive enhancement is the technique of building websites with strong foundations so that it's accessible to the wide range of browsing situations — from mobile devices and netbooks, to desktops and screen-readers.
What Is Progressive Enhancement?
In its simplest conceptualization, progressive enhancement is the separation of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. That's it, really. If you had to remember one thing about progressive enhancement, it should be that.
Think of these web technologies as being in layers, with HTML as the first layer, CSS being the second, and JavaScript (and other client-side technologies that deal with site interactivity, such as Flash or Java applets) as being the third.
By compartmentalizing these website components, we more easily allow our sites the ability to become enhanced depending on the web browser's capabilities.
How would we pragmatically carry out progressive enhancement?
- Markup: Start out with semantic and well-structured HTML for flexibility and interoperability.
- Styling: Progressively enhance the look-and-feel of a design by adding support for browsers with greater features (e.g. WebKit browsers, IE9, Firefox and mobile browsers).
Benefits of Applying Progressive Enhancement Techniques
You should keep in mind that pragmatically implementing the separation of the markup, styling, and behavioral layers would give you many benefits in your site projects. These are the major reasons for embracing progressive enhancement:
- Accessibility: Content is within reach to all visitors.
- Portability: Cross-browser and cross-device support.
- Modularity: Having decoupled components with smart boundaries makes site builds easier and more fault-tolerant.
- Site Performance: Improvements in terms of (perceived) page loading times (which affects usability) is more readily implemented.
Let us talk about each one a little bit more.
Accessibility of websites is one of the most important reasons for the separation of the three layers. You can be sure that all browsers and devices at least will be able to render the most important part: the content.
Think of modern browsers, ancient browsers, mobile devices, search engine crawlers and screen readers — at the very least, progressive enhancement's emphasis on layer separation, universal design, and semantic markup allows all of them to access the content.
This implies, for example, that if there is any hidden content that is revealed by listening to a user event with JavaScript (such a mouse click on a
button element), it must still be accessible somehow even when JavaScript is not available. You want that content to be accessible so that Google's web spider can index it and blind people can read it with their screen-reading software.
Making sure all content is within reach by writing good HTML, CSS and JavaScript has tremendous and wide-ranging beneficial results.
Progressive enhancement doesn't code for particular web browsers; it seeks to cater to all browsers as best as it can, taking advantage of a browser feature if it has them.
Smartphones and mobile devices that support media queries, CSS3 and HTML5, under progressive enhancement principles, will have an enhanced user experience because of these browser features. And with proper technique, these enhancements don't alienate those who don't have these browser features.
When separating a site build into different layers, developers can much better focus on their specific jobs. It is very common in larger projects that different developers have their main tasks in a different layer and/or module, e.g., one works with front-end web development, the other may focus on web design, and another deals with server-side scripting.
Layer separation also makes a website easier to maintain. If patches need to be made in the presentational layer, then you can do so without having to deal with the markup and behavioral layer.
Site Performance
Separating the layers often results in a better perceived performance as well. When loading and executing stylesheets and scripts at the right moment in an HTML document, you can optimize rendering sequence, which in turn makes the web page feel more responsive.
For instance, the user should first see the (styled) content. Putting a script (too) early in the HTML document will block rendering of the content below it until the script is loaded. By decoupling the JavaScript layer from the CSS and HTML layer, we can more easily pick where we load our scripts; for example, we can load it after the stylesheet has been downloaded.
General Principles for Developing with Progressive Enhancement
How do we apply the concept of progressive enhancement in site builds? Let us look at the three layers to see what things we can do to promote progressive enhancement within them.
About twenty years ago, when there was a need for an internet-based document standard, HTML was invented. And even with the fast-changing nature of the web, HTML is still the fundamental content-structuring mechanism for websites.
We are now lucky enough to have reached exciting times with HTML5 (and web browsers that support it), giving us access to unprecedented semantic and interoperable markup that make our content even more machine-readable.
However, even though the language has witnessed improvements and revisions over the years, the principle purpose is still the same: We use HTML tags to structure our content and use hyperlinks to link to other (HTML) documents.
Progressive enhancement embraces this principle to the fullest — it tells you to mark up your content semantically and make sure all content is accessible through normal hyperlinks. For example, remotely loaded content (through Ajax) must still be accessible when JavaScript (and CSS) is not available on the user agent — and with the appropriate technique, this is possible (and a best practice) with just a little bit more effort.
Visual design is powerful. On the web, we have CSS, images and fonts to help enhance our message by allowing us to customize the look of our sites.
Coupled with HTML5 is CSS3 — giving designers more possibilities and freedom to express themselves stylistically in the web designs they create.
To translate our visual design to the medium of the web, we use stylesheets. Stylesheets are linked from within HTML documents, and the browser renders the rules we define in it.
The separation of websites into the three layers means that our web designs must be accessible and usable regardless of what browser the user is using. If a user is using IE6, for example, they mustn't be barred from being able to gain access to a website's content, even if the site enhances the user experience and visual complexity on CSS3-supporting browsers.
Progressively enhancing the styling of our sites also means that relying on CSS to render content (which is the job of the markup layer) using the
content CSS property, for instance, is not a good practice unless the content is not critical to the understanding of the HTML document.
In the early days of the web, HTML documents weren't much more dynamic than normal paper documents. In fact, the original purpose of HTML was to mark up scientific paper documents and make them interlinked for easier referencing and research.
It was about 1996 when JavaScript came into the scene. Since then, and up until more recently, scripts have usually been set up for document manipulation, form input validation and some visual effects like
mouseover states on buttons and images (in the so-called DHTML period).
Although JavaScript added complexity and interactivity to the previously static HTML documents, use of JavaScript in general was superficial at best, and abusive at worst (pop-up windows, disabling user inputs such as right-clicking, and so on).
When user-centered design and "Web 2.0" reached fruition, rich internet applications entered the scene, and JavaScript, once an arguably dispensable part of a website, now functions as a critical component.
Some structure and best practices are required to develop and maintain usability and accessibility of robustly featured and highly interactive web applications and websites.
A better understanding of the prototypal nature (and object-oriented uses) of the language and the rise of numerous libraries and frameworks such as jQuery and MooTools have ultimately improved the implementation of JavaScript in standardized ways that promote (and even indirectly impose) JavaScript and progressive enhancement best practices.
To know the language (and its quirks) and to use the right tool for the job is essential to all web developers using JavaScript.
Though it is more and more difficult to create complex applications without the use of JavaScript, web accessibility practices for web applications under WAI-ARIA guidelines is a step in the right direction.
For efficient and robust web development that emphasizes on progressive enhancement, I would absolutely recommend following these guidelines:
- Put all scripts in externally linked files
- Develop unobtrusive JavaScript
- Separate the behavior from the HTML and CSS
- Avoid browser-specific code and use feature detection (not browser detection)
- Test your web application in "JavaScript off" unit tests and determine what can't be done without JavaScript so that you can present alternative options
Graceful Degradation vs. Progressive Enhancement
Graceful degradation is an older concept that's the predecessor of progressive enhancement in web design.
Graceful degradation emphasized on fault-tolerance and was more browser-oriented rather accessibility-oriented, allowing websites to degrade when older web browsers are in use.
Progressive enhancement is different in that the philosophy is almost reverse: you enhance a website by taking advantage of features detected within the user's browser, instead of developing for the lowest common denominator.
The philosophy of progressive enhancement, on the other hand, says that we give user agents what they are capable of handling. For example, we will let web browsers that support CSS3 (like
border-radius: 4px;) apply the style rule to our web pages.
Progressive Enhancement: Issues in the Real-World
Here are a couple of important issues of progressive enhancement that you will likely run into when attempting to apply progressive enhancement principles in your site builds.
Web Apps/Rich Internet Apps Will Require Client-side Scripting
In an age where the stuff we are seeing in the browser mimics the functionality and robustness of desktop apps, the behavioral layer is a requirement that can't be taken away if we want to allow rich and responsive experiences.
Progressive Enhancement Requires More Development Work
In practice, you will find yourself having to do more work when creating progressively-enhanced websites. Whether it's learning (like what you're doing now) or revising markup for semantics and flexibility, or coding extra CSS to take advantage of CSS3 and HTML5 on browsers that support it — progressive enhancement involves more web development time than usual.
Progressive enhancement is a powerful development philosophy for creating universally accessible sites and web apps. It does require some learning, experience and discipline, but the return of investment is high.

Having spent the evenings of the last few months hauling my c2004 site into the 'modern' era, the process of achieving these best practices can be hard work for an amateur site owner. But nevertheless well worthwhile if for no other that once it's been done future design and style upgrades (and other usability upgrades) become so much more easier to implement.
Also as Lars mentioned, stripping out old javscript rollover buttons has reduced my pages in size by around 40-60% depending on content, made them more spider-friendly, added to usability and made them faster to load.
Daniel Suarez Feb 11 2011
It is a very interested concept something we sometimes take for granted.
wordtoyourtom Feb 11 2011
What do you mean by 'Avoid browser-specific code' – isn't that a part of progressive enhancement? Writing code that's optimized for specific browsers?
(i.e. You might use -moz-box-shadow to put a shadow on a div specifically in Firefox, since it can support the box-shadow property with that vendor prefix.)
P.S. you're good looking.
Young Feb 11 2011
I think it's worth noting that if you don't take the time to plan out your site structure and functionalities, progressive enhancement / graceful degradation (two sides of the same coin, really) is very difficult to achieve. Deciding on exactly how the user interface will behave will help you choose what tool (e.g. a jQuery function) is the most appropriate. Otherwise you end up tacking things on later and, though more on the backend than frontend, you risk your "modularity."
The article was very enjoyable – it was very well constructed and to the point.

What would have been really nice is a supplement to this article that actually shows a very small progressively enhanced page. I think this would help people who have never done PE as they could view it in various browsers/devices and inspect the code.

"Progressive Enhancement" was coined by Steven Champeon of hesketh.com in a series of articles and presentations for Webmonkey and the SXSW Interactive conference between March and June 2003.

@wordtoyourtom: "avoiding browser-specific code" is indeed part of PE, but not directly. Things like using external scripts can be considered a "must have" when going the PE route, but it is up to the developer to correctly implement the strategy within that script (i.e. test browser features before using them).
In general, the article was meant to be a bit more theory than practice. Examples can be found in the "additional reading" links.
Jacob Gube Feb 12 2011
@wordtoyourtom: I agree with Lars's response. Browser-specific code like conditional comments and stylesheet hacks for IE is more like graceful degradation/fault-tolerance, rather than progressive enhancement.
Vendor prefixes are sort of gray areas, but personally, I think they're just transitional stuff/necessary evil that will be gone once specs have been finalized. And they're not browser-specific code in the same sense of stylesheet hacks and conditional comments. They function the same way, and there are some syntax discrepancies in some of them (like for the
linear-gradient() value notation), but for the most part, their syntax and purpose is consistent. You're not hacking padding/margin, for example, just for IE6. You're enhancing your design for browsers with more features. A subtle, but important, difference. Browser hacks break your site for the browsers the hacks were meant for;
-moz-border-radius does not.
Shruti (NENM) Feb 12 2011
Accessibility and site performance are something that users notice and the business owners understand. It has become difficult to get our clients to appreciate the work that goes behind the scenes to make sure the websites conform to these principles. I happened to point this article to one of our potential customers and they understood this well.
Thanks for a great article.
Pedja Feb 14 2011
All this is nice to talk, but when it comes to large sites that makes some real money, then PE/GE falls down. No one wants to risk and show ugly site to user, that will make user to leave site. At the end front end guy will make site to have same look and feel in every browser. This is ok for smaller sites and blogs, where front-end team is one man show. And then we have designers who sell their knowledge by showing their own site, can they risk and make site that will look different in different browser. Than they would be marked as somene who doesn't know how to code site properly. Last one category is loudest when it comes to PE/GD site optimization. Money is only thing that will decide how to make site (revenue/cost of support), and visitors statistic will decide when to drop or add support for some browser.

From: en.wikipedia.org
The term "DHTML" was used as an umbrella term and a buzz word much like "Web 2.0".
You are confusing the term with the technologies.
Tom Batey Feb 15 2011
Great article, makes for very interesting reading.
As someone who tests websites, it is good to see an approach that results in a more efficient and robust website or webapp.
Lars Kappert Feb 18 2011
@Pedja: can you then explain to me why large websites using PE (like bbc.co.uk or ziggo.nl) don't fall down? And yes indeed, visitors stats may decide which browsers to support, but this is perfectly acceptable within the PE strategy: build from standards for modern browsers and add fallback solutions for browsers that need it. Not the other way around, that's the whole idea and that's what "does require some learning, experience and discipline, but the return of investment is high", imho.
Btw, expecting any website to look and feel exactly the same in IE6 and the latest FF/SA/GC is unrealistic at least and holding us back from a better web.

Leuk stuk, Lars!

Stayed at Captain Swift Inn for 3 nights in August. Great location, walking distance to downtown Camden. Innkeepers, Norm & Linda very warm & welcoming. They definitely worked very hard to make sure all of our needs were met. Food was delicious. Room was comfy & clean. Water/coffee available all the time. Afternoon cookies/lemonade. Changed out towels out daily. Even had their own labels on shampoo/conditioner/bath beads/soap. Had a clawfoot tub with a shower curtain. I did not mind for 3 days, but I prefer a regular shower. Would definitely stay again. Thanks for making our Maine trip very enjoyable!

We had a wonderful 2 night stay here in September. Traveling with my husband and elderly mother. They had the perfect accommodation for our needs and Linda's breakfasts are outstanding. Best french toast I've ever had - hands down. We particularly enjoyed the historical nature of the Inn. They made sure my Mom was comfortable reading in the living room while my husband and I hiked one of the days and made her feel at home. The homemade treats available 24/7 was an added bonus. Walking distance to town makes it a perfect location. Will stay here next time we come here and highly recommend it to anyone.

Had a great stay at the Captain Swift Inn. Incredible breakfasts and Linda and Norm are so hospitable. I stayed in Coastal Hideaway. It was a little chilly during my stay, so I made good use of the fireplace in the room. Camden is a great town for walking and the inn is only a few minute walk from downtown. Travel tip: Ask Norm about his maps... they're a great resource to help you plan your trip.

While on a motorcycle trip, We stayed for a night at the end of August, right before Norm and Linda's son Alex left for his first semester of college. With all of their preparations going on, the family made us feel at home, took time to share information and advice about the area, make sure we were comfortable and prepared a delicious breakfast. The historic Capt Swift Inn was beautifully decorated, spotless and a short walk from the waterfront. We are looking forward to returning next year. Gregg Spoering

The Captain Swift Inn was a nice find for our Maine getaway. I chose it for the reasonable price - hard to find in Camden. I was pleasantly surprised. We were met by the cheerful owner and shown to our room - which he had upgraded for us without our asking. The room was on the quiet side of the inn (The Bay Breeze room) and was larger than the one I had chosen. The bathroom was bright and spacious. My only complaint with it was the clawfoot tub - they are charming but don't really work all that well for showering! The breakfasts at the Inn are fabulous. Simple fare, but plenty of it and presented with flair. The owners are available and friendly. We enjoyed meeting them and talking with them each morning. Their son was helpful and even carried our bags upstairs for us! The location is quite convenient to the main drag, but not too close either. I would recommend it to anyone travelling to the area.

We enjoyed an entire week at the Captain Swift Inn with our teenaged daughter. The suites are ideal for this as the kids have their own space in the loft with TV/DVD, couches, a table and refrigerator. Rooms are quiet, beautifully decorated, spacious and impeccably clean. The breakfast was often our best meal of the day, with a different menu every day. There is a well-stocked library and DVD collection, a computer in the reading room, and free high speed WIFI. The location is ideal - only two or three blocks from the center of town and the harbor. But the best thing about Captain Swift Inn are the innkeepers Norm, Linda and Alex. They were like friends, asking us about our plans for the day, providing guidebooks and suggestions for things to do, and even offering to make arrangements or reservations. We could not have asked for a more relaxing and enjoyable vacation. We will definitely be back!

My father is disabled and has trouble going up stairs, so we specifically chose this inn because their "Hannah's room" was on the 1st floor (an unusual feature in a historic inn). It was really perfect for him, especially the handicapped-accessible ensuite bath. Linda and Norm were wonderful as well... very solicitous and accommodating. We couldn't have been happier! One note for late risers or light sleepers, though: the only down side of being on the 1st floor is that the room is next to the common areas, so you will hear other guests, particularly at breakfast-time. But overall, it was wonderful and we would definitely stay there again.

Johnson Controls appeals escrow ruling in A123 sale
Johnson Controls Inc. filed an appeal Monday of last week's court decision approving Wanxiang's purchase of A123 Systems, the bankrupt hybrid battery supplier.
The company said it is entitled to receive a breakup fee that was previously approved by the bankruptcy court.
The appeal came as a committee of A123 creditors prepared to depose Johnson Controls concerning its activities in the bankruptcy case and sale of the Massachusetts supplier of advanced batteries for the automotive industry and military.
Last week, the bankruptcy court held Johnson Controls' breakup fee and expense reimbursement in escrow. Johnson Controls was the initial bidder for A123 during the bankruptcy proceedings, but Wanxiang outbid Johnson Controls and its partner NEC Corp. by about $5 million, with a bid of more than $256 million.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Carey approved the sale at a Dec. 11 hearing in Wilmington, Del., saying "the auction was robust, the price is adequate."
A lawyer for the creditors committee said last week that Johnson Controls was actively lobbying members of Congress in a bid to thwart Wanxiang's purchase. That prompted Carey to put the breakup fee in escrow, which Johnson Controls is now appealing.
Johnson Controls said it has an active government relations function "that involves regular interaction with policy makers and agencies on the full range of issues relevant to the company," adding that its government relations activities comply with government regulations and "are consistent with First Amendment Rights of free speech."
The sale of A123 to a Chinese firm could still be scrapped because it awaits approval by the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. That panel is reviewing the deal because of the potential threat to national security that the loss of A123's technology could pose.
National security concerns tied to the core technology used by A123 - whether in its automotive, power grid or military businesses - "represent a risk to the sale which cannot be dismissed until resolved by the government review process," Johnson Controls said.
A123 and Wanxiang have expressed confidence the sale will be approved because it was structured so that Wanxiang would not receive any of A123's military contracts.
"Should the sale of A123 Systems to Wanxiang not be completed for any reason, Johnson Controls remains open to considering future opportunities to acquire relevant portions of A123's assets, keeping this critically important technology in the United States, preserving jobs and furthering the purpose of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act," said Alex Molinaroli, Johnson Controls power solutions president, in a statement.
Johnson Controls and A123 both received stimulus funding from the U.S. Energy Department targeted to helping the U.S. auto industry bring advanced battery technology to market faster.

I would advise spending no more than 2-3% of income on a car. Better to save and retire early. Driving a nice car is great, but not if it means working till old age. I'd rather retire by 50 than drive Bentleys and Ferraris.
I think that the number is quite low. A family making $200k a year can spend between $333 and $500 a month on a car? If you make $500k a year you should budget between $833 and $1250? It's impossible to say there is a correct percentage. There is a massive difference in cost of living from one region to another which will completely change how the numbers come out. Personal finances also play a huge roll. A person owns their home outright vs someone heavy in mortgage debt there will have a lot more disposable income...

What The Hell Happend To Vitor Belfort
hey fellow ufc fans i was just wondering if eny of you have eny clue what happend to vitor he isnt fightin in pride or k1 so what the hell is he doing
I was wondering the same thing. Havnt seen him fight in a long time. Humm go to sherdog.com and look him up.
Vitor fought allistar in pride and lost. He is getting a rematch 2nite in strikeforce.
He got submitted by Overreem at pride in the first round(Overreem isn't that good)
Yeah man i luved that guy. What happened to him? I thought he did a boxing match. He could probably be a top contender in the LHW still.
lol we just said.
But after losing to Liddell Coture Tito and Overeem.....He seems like he's done.
Unless he has some new training that he's been doing after those defeats
Well, there is no shame in losing to Couture. The Tito loss was a close decision in which a lot of people felt Vitor won. As far as his loss to Overeem, hell at the time Overeem was getting that guillotine on everyone.:laugh:
You must remember that Belfort is still a young fighter with a lot of experience. I don't think that we have seen the last or the best of Vitor Belfort yet. Just my personal opinion.
Vitor lost to Overeem in the Strikeforce promotion. From what i hear that people were leaving during the fight so............
Yeah he just got beat friday and it was a pretty lame fight.

Home > Faq
A custodial parent can relocate with their child only if they have the consent of the non-custodial parent. If a non-custodial parent denies consent of the relocation, the custodial parent may file an application seeking a court order to move out of state.
Because removing a child from their home state may adversely affect custody and visitation rights of the non-custodial parent, the court requires the relocating spouse to show why the move should be allowed. The custodial parent must be able to show the court that the reason for relocation is in good faith, the move would not infringe the non-custodial parent's visitation rights, and that it would be in the best interest of the child to relocate with the custodial parent.
The court also considers a number of other factors before granting permission for the move including:
· The reason for the move
· Whether or not visitation and communication can be maintained between the non-custodial parent and the child
· The previous history of all parties
· The effect the move would have on extended family relationships
· The child's age and preference
· Any factor bearing on the best interest of the child
In most cases, the courts grant relocation motions. However, the relocating spouse must ensure that the non-custodial parent continue to have adequate visitation rights. If the court denies the relocation motion, the custodial parent is not permitted to move unless all parties give consent.
Please contact us to speak with a qualified and experienced divorce attorney who can inform you of your legal options in your state and protect your rights.

- Outerwear and Accessories (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/outerwear-accessories/)
- - reflective goggles? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/outerwear-accessories/33181-reflective-goggles.html)
reflective goggles?
I'm starting to snowboard more often now and was wondering if there are any specific brand of goggles that make more of the reflective lenses. I like the fact that you can see out of them but nobody can see your eyes. I can't seem to find any on any website. There are plenty of goggles but none with the reflective lenses. Forgive me if they aren't called reflective goggles i'm still pretty new to snowboarding. Thanks in advance/
most of the big companies make them -
Oakley Iridium lenses
Smiths Mirror lenses
The problem is that the more reflective the lens, the lower VLT(light coming in), so If you want super reflective ones prepare to have poor visibility in anything thats not a super bright sunny day out.
thanks i'll take a look at them
i dont understand why the more reflective ones will have poor visibility when its not sunny though?
acctually i want them so i can wear while with that chick so she cant tell im not looking at her and thinking of someone else...
but seriously i know they reflect the sun obviously but if there is no sun i dont understand why they dont work as well as normal lenses in those conditions
Anyhow, they reflect light - right? So it will be darker. You need to pay more attention in school son. :P The less light your eyes have to work with, the less contrast you can make out. Since everything in gonna be white on white in the snow you want the most contrast you can get, with mirrored you can't see shiat and it will be too dark as well. Its kinda like wearing dark sunglasses in a tunnel.
Yellow/reddish lenses are great for cloudy days.
wow i cant believe i didnt think of it like that haha cheers man
any specific goggles/brands you can recommend?
I personally have this one, and the lenses and straps are interchangeable, I have a black lens to use. But I only used it once. Thinking about getting some new Anons and the switching up the straps.
They are 08/09 Anon Figment with the sexay furrr.
alright cool thanks again mate ill take a look for some now
If you want an all around lens for now, you should take a look at the lens' light chart and look for one that transmits around 50% of the light.
Also, Spherical lenses are going to offer the clearest and most peripheral range of vision over flat lenses like the Anon's that was posted above. However, spherical lenses will cost you more most of the time (there are always sales).

Today we rode the tour bus up north to Los Chiles, a small town north of Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge. This is also border town just 3 km (metric system!!!) south of Nicaraguan border. We were lucky that today is slightly cloudy and NOT RAINING. This wet land is around the Rio Frio where large numbers of wildlife live. Our guide took us down the river in a motor boat while showing us different species of wildlife along the way. We saw several types of birds, monkeys, iguanas and caimans (gators). Our group was facinated at every creature we encountered and we would gather on one side of the boat to shot pictures. The tough part is the wild life were so far away the only way I can take a picture is by zooming, but my out-dated camara couldn�t do the trick. I would consider bringing my Canon SLR on the next trip.
Our guide took us up the river to Nicaragua border for a few minutes so we could stop to take a photo of the border
We will be spending another night here in La Fortuna before we move onto Monteverde tomorrow.

Tire-Pressure Sensors Coming
July 2, 2001
Filed under Trailer News
A federal law passed last year will require pressure-monitoring systems on all new cars and
trucks sold in the United States by 2003. Chrysler reports it has a system on certain 2002
models that has sensors in the wheels that relay pressure readings to a receiver in the
cab. An alarm tells the driver if the pressure is too low or too high. Ford will offer a
more advanced system as an option on the 2002 Explorer, and General Motors already offers a
basic tire monitor on some of its models.

Commission approves plat request for downtown CVS
COLUMBIA, Mo. - CVS Pharmacy requested a plat approval at Thursday night's Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
Thursday night's request was different than the rezoning request that was denied in October -- this one does not have to be passed by City Council if it meets all city ordinances.
The company is planning to build on the Southeast corner of Broadway and Providence Road.
That plot of land is currently separated into five zones, but the plat approval requested to get it consolidated into one piece of land.
The request was approved by all but one commissioner.
The issue is set to appear at the next City Council meeting on Jan. 21.

Flavour burst
Page Tools
Illustration: Simon Letch
The view is pure Sydney but the menu is authentic Italian.
Moda Ristorante Bar
Open Seven days, noon until late.
Tried Beef carpaccio ($16.80), seared tuna salad ($16.80), baked Italian sausages with provola cheese ($19), home-made pasta special ($17).
Bottom line for two $69.60
Popsi Bubblehead and I are being stalked. It is not a pleasant feeling and my heart goes out to Keanu, Russell, Paris et al. As celebrities, they end up being chased into five-star hotels by sad nonentities; everywhere we turn we are confronted by Michael Buble. Is there no escape from the man?
On a weekend in the Blue Mountains recently he popped up at breakfast; on the way to Moda he is standing in a nearby music store, or at least his cardboard cut-out is (he actually sang in person at the restaurant's opening).
And then, to add insult to injury, he is warbling in his usual fashion in the background for most of the night, most notably with an execrably up-tempo version of Mack the Knife. "I'd like to burst his buble," growls Popsi.
It's enough to make you want to throw a phone at somebody. In short, we fail to see the purpose of Mr Buble (other than as a Proustian device for us to recall how much better the songs he covers were done the first time around).
On the other hand, we are fans of Moda, where uncommonly decent Italian food can be had in uncommon surrounds.
For such a glass cavern of a place (it could double as the Batcave at a pinch), it is surprisingly intimate. There is an interior area cleverly broken up by high-backed seating, a heater-dotted balcony with great views across town to the harbour bridge and, suspended over the dining area, a funky so-called mezzanine bar that only needs Blofeld in the corner stroking a white cat.
The decor is sophisticated 21st-century postmodern retro future chic (or whatever). In contrast, the service and food are firmly planted in authentic, clean-flavoured Italian school. When in Rome and all that ... We order beef carpaccio, seared tuna salad, a home-made ravioli special and salsicce al cartoccio (Italian sausages and provola cheese baked in foil in the wood-fired oven). There is Italian beer, too, but Popsi sticks to her Pepperjack shiraz.
The waiters are great fun and perfectly attentive - "unusually good" says Popsi, from whom this is high praise indeed. So, apart from the ubiquitous Buble strangling another classic in the background, all is well with the world.
The carpaccio and Popsi's tuna are beautifully tender, and they look strangely alike. There is the usual shaved parmesan and rocket with the carpaccio and it is accompanied by just the right amount of olive oil without it turning into an oil slick. The tuna is a stunner and is well paired with watercress and cannellini beans.
My baked sausages have a spicy tang to them which works well with the smokiness of the provola cheese. It is pretty good, though I find it a little chewy towards the end and struggle to finish the final few morsels. Popsi is also much taken with her home-made pasta special, which appears as several Christmas cracker-shaped parcels (of spinach, cheese and prawn) in a minestrone-style broth.
I would love to tell you what it tastes like but we will just have to take Popsi's word for it: "Brilliant." But just one word suffices when you are doing an impression of a pelican swallowing a large mullet.

CARTERSVILLE, Ga. – The NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series will move into new territory for the 2013 season, as Battleground Speedway in Highlands, Texas, joins the organization.
Dirt-late-model drivers at Battleground Speedway will compete for both a track point fund and against drivers throughout the country for a $20,000 National point fund that pays $10,000 to the champion and pays back through the Top 10 in the point standings. A driver's best 14 weekly point totals make up their season total, plus up to 100 Bonus Points.
"We're excited to bring the affordable and highly competitive NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series to Battleground Speedway and to the State of Texas for 2013," NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Founder and Director Mike Vaughn said. "This shows that the popularity of the series continues to grow and spread out geographically, as it will enter into its eighth season next year."
The growth Vaughn spoke of is evident in the current 2012 season, as over 400 drivers have competed in NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series sanctioned event at tracks in five different states. Through its seven-year history, NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series events have taken place at 60 different race tracks in 13 different states.
Battleground Speedway, located just east of Houston, will become the 61st different track to sanction with the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series, and Texas will become the 14th different state the series has competed in.
Battleground Speedway presents weekly dirt track racing on Saturday nights. The track is owned by William "Red" Walley, promoted by Jeff Dudden, and Dave Cook is the Competition Director.
"Red, Jeff, and I talked about starting Late Model racing here at Battleground Speedway a few months back," Cook said. "I have been to Talladega Short Track and seen the NeSmith Dirt Late Model Series in action. I told Red if we are going to do it, these are the guys we have to do it with."
Cook said the group contacted Vaughn and NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model series, General Manager and Competition Director Tim Sims, and Sims came to see them and meet with the drivers. They all concluded this is the right thing for Battleground Speedway to do.
"The fans want weekly late model racing back here in the state of Texas, and along with the NeSmith Series we are going to give it to them in 2013," Cook said. "We are committed to the drivers, and fans to bring late model racing to Battleground Speedway, and keep it affordable! Now as Competition Director, and Jeff as promoter, we have to go to work, secure a sponsor for the class, and establish a fair purse for the drivers in 2013, but I know we will get it done soon."
In just a couple of days since signing the agreement between Battleground Speedway and the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series, Dudden went to work on securing a sponsor for the new late-model division.
"Battleground Speedway is happy to be on board with the NeSmith Dirt Late Model Series, and looking forward to working with the series and racers for a very successful 2013 racing season," Dudden said.

With the large number of European Union member states, Europe's research community is diverse in its economic composition and national interests, while central funding and administrative mechanisms allow coordinated operation of public research at a scale that is comparable to that of the United States. There also are parallels in research priorities (like the level of commitment to basic research), demographics and research productivity.
Economic conditions heavily influence R&D funding; so struggling EU member states Greece, Spain and Italy influence this 2014 R&D forecast, offset by recovery in Germany, France and the U.K. The EU is the only global region that had negative growth in 2013, and it is projected to grow at only about 1% per year through 2017. R&D funding is expected to follow a similar track.
Highlights of the European research enterprise and its economic context include:
- The amount of R&D performed in Europe is essentially flat for 2012, 2013 and 2014.
- The R&D-focused Eighth Framework Programme is projected to increase nearly 60% to $110 billion over FP7.
- Performance of U.S. academic research institutions rank just above those in Europe, although European universities are well-regarded in global standings.
- Survey results indicate that U.S. applied research is viewed more favorably than Europe, but that basic research efforts are close to parity.
In the second quarter of 2013, the EU emerged from six consecutive quarters of economic contraction, ending the longest economic contraction on record for the EU The rebound was driven by the EU's largest economy, Germany, where output grew by 0.7% for the quarter. Most European countries are forecast to experience economic growth of about 1% through 2014, although Eastern European countries could see GDP (and related R&D) growth rates in the 1% to 2% range. Germany is expected to see 1.4% GDP growth in 2014 and commensurate R&D growth over 2013. France and the United Kingdom are also gaining economic momentum, according to the most recent report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
The EU's Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP8) is scheduled to be renewed for the eighth time in 2014 since the popular program began in 1984. FP8 (also called Horizon 2020) is anticipated to run from 2014 through 2020, and will be funded to $110 billion (i.e., $15.7 billion/yr). This represents a 58% increase over FP7, which ran from 2007 to 2013 and was funded to $70 billion. FP8 funding will provide $42 billion for research on climate change, renewable energy, food safety and aging. $23 billion will be dedicated to industrial leadership in innovation, including increased access to capital and support for small-to-medium enterprises.
A dedicated budget of $34 billion will focus on top-level research supported by the European Research Council, the EU's equivalent to the U.S.'s National Research Council. While representing less than 5% of the EU's total forecast R&D investment in 2014 of $351 billion, the high-profile research is dedicated to creating new growth and jobs in Europe. It also emphasizes the translation from scientific research to commercialization to economic impact by helping innovative enterprises develop technological assets into viable products with large commercial potential. This market-driven approach includes creating partnerships with the private sector and member states.
In their responses to the Battelle/R&D Magazine survey, global researchers anticipate positive changes in European research priorities over the next 10 years, including (in priority order) focus on energy, environmental and life science R&D applications. Areas that may become less emphasized include military and space-based research.
In the aggregate, R&D expenditures in Europe are expected to increase 0.7% in 2014. Europe's share of global R&D spending will drop to 21.7%, while Asia's rises to 39% in 2014 from 38% in 2013.
Academia's Important Role
As in the U.S., an important portion of research activity will be conducted by academia. European universities place second only to U.S. universities in the latest Times Higher Education World Rankings, with about 71 European universities ranked in the Top 400, compared to 77 U.S. universities. THE rankings are based on 13 performance indicators in areas involving teaching, research, knowledge transfer and global outlook. The U.K. had the largest number of European universities in the top 400 list with 29.

DUBLIN, Sept John Dillon, M. P., and Mr. William O'Bnen were ar- rested yesterday for their recent utter- j mces in Ireland. The former was taken nto custody and Immediately escorted >o the railroa I station, where he was J ilaced on a soecial trv.in for Tipperary. i Eld was accompanied by a large military j escort. O'Brion was into custoly i at Glcng-fvrrilT and conveyed to Cork, j Warrant? of ;trrosf for Patrick O'Brien, Commoners Thomas J. Con-ion and David Shechy and Daviil Humph- rey, of Tip-orary, have boon issued. A grpat ser.saf.oa bas been causeil bv the arrests of Mossra. Dillon and j O'Brien. Mr. Dillon, when was in his uncle's house at The police inspector, accompanied by two constables, Pniered without knock- j ing- or notice and rudely ordered Mr. j Dillon to accompany them. The lat'er i asked for the Inspector's authority, whereupon the officer produced his war- rant, accnsinjr Mr. Dillon of inciting the tenants of Smith-Barry in his re- cent speech at New Tipperary not to par their Without waiting for Mr. Dillon to tc.k-9 a change of clothing, tho polif-e hurried him to a car and took him to Dublin and thence to Tipperary to bo arraigned Colonel Caddcll, the magistrate whom Dillon, a few weeks ago. severely denounced In a speech in Parliament Mr. O'Brien was taken In custody at the Qlengariff HoteL His wife was with him, just as she was with him recently when a writ-server served on Mr. O'Brien a demand from Lord Salisbury for costs tn ilr. O'Brien's libel gait ajralnst the Premier. Without call- Ing him to one side, tho officer pre- sented hla warrant and told Mr. O'Brien to come along. "Another attempt to keep me from telling Americans the truth about said Mr. C'Brion aa tie accompanied tbe officer. charge against Mr. O'Brien was the tame as against Mr. Dillon, that of in- citing tenants not to pay rent and ol advocating the trayoott at Limerick atid Kew Tipperary. A warrant is also out for Mr. Dalton and the police are watehing tho League rooms in Dublin. It is believed that warrants are out for many persons con- nected with the League andthattheffov- ernment has determined during the re- oess to crush out if possible all opposi- tion to its policy in Ireland. Mrs. O'Brien wont oa tho same train that took her husband to prison. Lord Salis- bury is said to be deeply Incensed against Mr. O'Brien, who. in his Lim- erick speech, called Lord Salisbury a libeller and "blackmailer. Much excite- ment prevails both and Eng- land over the arresisVind the opinion is generally expressed that the object of the government is to prevent Messrs- Dillon and O'Brion from going on their tour and training; American sympathy and contributions for the Irish cause. In an interview after bis arrest Mr. Dillon said he was mystified aa to the object of the povernment, unless it were to prevent Mr. O'Brien, himself and others from proceeding on their in- tended mission to America.
