Hey folks,
I figured this is an appropriate place to ask around. I'm currently in the final stages of having my app being built. A large part of the app is video instructions, which naturally brought my team into a debate- how to deliver the video content.
Initially, we were going to host the typically short videos in the app. However, we underestimated just how much videos are actually needed. I still personally support this option, but it may not be practical. The benefits were that the app wouldn't need any server or network connecting, cons being that the app will likely be huge...
Then the idea of streaming the video content from my companies server was tossed around, but I'm afraid that I would actually just crash my own server and website... I also don't want to have that kind of long-run costs as I want to be able to support my app for years to come.
Then an idea of hosting the videos via YouTube was brought up. The actual developer said easy, no problem, those frameworks or whatnot are easy to work with. But, we are concerned about the content being available to the public via web browers or just accessing via YouTube and not the app... since the content is my own work, and am seeking to make a profit of it, I would hate to see it available to the public like that!
So, what do we think is the best option? We did have the idea of hosting it from our server but incorporating the ability to save the video to the device, thus giving the users the option, but I'm not even positive how much strain on the server that would take, nor am I able to give an accurate description of how big the video files are at the moment. They are in editing and I know the raw uncut footage was 13gb... before it gets compressed cut and the like. I expect the longest video to be a mere 2 minutes..

UN climate chief Christiana Figueres says coal industry must transform
Industry warned it must 'rapidly' transform itself, and diversify into renewable energy, to avoid catastrophic climate change
Most of the world's coal reserves should be left in the ground to avoid catastrophic global warming, the United Nations' climate chief has told the US$3 trillion global industry.
In a speech to industry executives, Christiana Figueres challenged the industry to urgently transform itself, diversify into renewable energy and "radically change ... rapidly and dramatically for everyone's sake".
"By now it should be abundantly clear that further capital expenditures on coal can go ahead only if they are compatible with the 2 degrees Celsius limit," she said at the international coal and climate summit in Warsaw, being held at the same time as UN climate talks.
The goal of the UN talks is to keep mean temperature rises this century below 2 degrees.
Figueres said the industry had "the opportunity to be part of the worldwide climate solution" by switching off old coal power plants, capturing and storing carbon from new plants and leaving most of the world's coal reserves in the ground. She also said coal power could help poorer countries' economic development and poverty reduction, but that the industry "must change".
"I urge every coal company to honestly assess the financial risks of business as usual; anticipate increasing regulation, growing finance restrictions and diminishing public acceptance," she said.
Figueres was later backed by the British energy minister, Greg Barker, who is in Warsaw for the UN negotiations. "Coal represents the biggest threat to climate stability in the medium term. If we can keep coal in the ground it could have a profound impact on the growth of the world economy. The question is how do we keep unabated coal in the ground," he said.
But Barker backed gas over renewables. "Gas is the way to ensure we burn less coal over the next two decades," he said.
At a later press conference, Figueres said the industry needed a "deep, deep transformation" and should reinvent itself as a developer of renewable energy.
"They really need to do a major, major rethink and a major shift in the deployment of their capital [towards renewable energy] ... there is no doubt they are the energies of the future," she said.
Her remarks took both the coal industry and environment groups by surprise. The industry had invited her to talk in expectation that she would legitimise their continuing growth if they adopted new technologies. The activists had been critical of her talking to the industry at all.
It is thought Figueres was stung by insistent youth groups at the UN conference who reportedly admonished her for being prepared to talk to the coal industry but not to them.
The industry declined to respond directly but argued that significant emissions reductions could be achieved by improving the efficiency of coal-fired plants using "high efficiency" coal.
This was rebutted by a group of 27 international scientists meeting in Warsaw who agreed with Figueres, saying that nearly 75 per cent of the world's coal reserves had to be left in the ground if global warming was to be limited to a rise of 2 degrees.
In a joint statement, the scientists - from the US, Germany, Japan, China, India, Brazil and South Africa - rejected claims that high-efficiency coal can be a low-emission technology.
Using International Energy Agency estimates of world coal reserves, the group said that burning just 26 per cent of the reserves would break the global "carbon budget", lifting temperatures above the 2 degrees threshold.
Martin Kaiser, Greenpeace's international climate director, welcomed the speech. "She gave the right warning to investors that any new investment into coal-fired power plants is a financial risk, as there will be increasing regulation, growing finance restrictions and diminishing public acceptance."
Coal use growing despite climate concerns
Despite a worsening reputation as a greenhouse gas, coal continues to gain ground as developing countries use cheap, abundant deposits of the fuel to power their growth.
- Coal in 2011 accounted for 44 per cent of global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO
- {-2}), the biggest greenhouse gas in terms of volume. This compares to 35 per cent from oil and 20 per cent for gas.
- Coal's share represented a 4.9 per cent increase to 13.7 billion tonnes of CO
- {-2} in 2011.
- Coal's contribution to climate-altering emissions continues to grow: in 2001 oil had been the largest polluter with 42 per cent.
- Coal is nearly twice as emissions-intensive as gas relative to the kilowatt of energy produced.
- On current trends, emissions from coal will grow to 15.7 billion tonnes of CO
- {-2} in 2035. The biggest growth is in developing countries, led by China and India, where there are large coal reserves with little geopolitical risk.
- Coal provides 30 per cent of primary energy, 41 per cent of global electricity and is used to produce 68 per cent of the world's steel, according to the industry's body.
- There are over 860 billion tonnes of proven coal reserves worldwide - enough to last 109 years at current production rates. The biggest reserves are in the United States, Russia, China, Australia and India.
- Scientists have said about two-thirds of known fossil fuels must stay in the ground if the world is to meet the target of limiting average global warming to 2.0 degrees Celsius over pre-Industrial Revolution levels.

Sydney (AFP) Dec 13, 2013
Australian researchers said Thursday they had established the existence of vast freshwater reserves trapped beneath the ocean floor which could sustain future generations as current sources dwindle.
Lead author Vincent Post, from Australia's Flinders University, said that an estimated 500,000 cubic kilometres (120,000 cubic miles) of low-salinity water had been found buried beneath the seabed on continental shelves off Australia, China, North America and South Africa.
"The volume of this water resource is a hundred times greater than the amount we've extracted from the Earth's sub-surface in the past century since 1900," said Post of the study, published in the latest edition of Nature.
"Freshwater on our planet is increasingly under stress and strain so the discovery of significant new stores off the coast is very exciting.
"It means that more options can be considered to help reduce the impact of droughts and continental water shortages."
UN Water, the United Nations' water agency, estimates that water use has been growing at more than twice the rate of population in the last century due to demands such as irrigated agriculture and meat production.
More than 40 percent of the world's population already live in conditions of water scarcity. By 2030, UN Water estimates that 47 percent of people will exist under high water stress.
Post said his team's findings were drawn from a review of seafloor water studies done for scientific or oil and gas exploration purposes.
"By combining all this information we've demonstrated that the freshwater below the seafloor is a common finding, and not some anomaly that only occurs under very special circumstances," he told AFP.
The deposits were formed over hundreds of thousands of years in the past, when the sea level was much lower and areas now under the ocean were exposed to rainfall which was absorbed into the underlying water table.
When the polar icecaps started melting about 20,000 years ago these coastlines disappeared under water, but their aquifers remain intact -- protected by layers of clay and sediment.
Post said the deposits were comparable with the bore basins currently relied upon by much of the world for drinking water and would cost much less than seawater to desalinate.
Drilling for the water would be expensive, and Post said great care would have to be taken not to contaminate the aquifers.
He warned that they were a precious resource.
"We should use them carefully: once gone, they won't be replenished until the sea level drops again, which is not likely to happen for a very long time," Post said.

About the Book
In 2006, photographer James "Coe" High became a resident of the Mexican War Streets in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's North Side. He is living in and restoring one of its historic Victorian row houses. During morning walks, Coe's eye was caught by the many handsome doors found on houses in this grand neighborhood and wanted to share these doors with you via this collection of colorful photographs.
Visitors to Pittsburgh should not miss the opportunity to walk through this lovely tree-lined neighborhood rich with 160 years of history, and well-preserved by its diverse and creative residents.
Walking through Pittsburgh's Mexican War Streets on the North Side, you step backward in time. It's the 1840s and you're not in Pittsburgh, but in prestigious Allegheny City. General William Robinson is organizing his hillside acreage into 20-foot wide lots. He is naming streets to memorialize the Mexican-American War and selling lots to an economically diverse population. Soon, the streets are lined with a wide variety of Victorian homes. The neighborhood grows and becomes part of Pittsburgh in 1907. Suffering the fate of most inner cities, the Mexican War Streets deteriorate until the 1970s when total demolition is suggested. Residents push for preservation and a comeback begins.
Today, it is a historic district dense with beautifully restored row houses, tree-lined streets and, of course, the eye-catching Victorian doors presented here in Door to Door - Mexican War Streets.
Five Percent of net proceeds will be contributed to the Mexican War Streets Society.

The adif2dxq program converts ADIF contest logs from N1MM, Win-Test and WriteLog (and possibly others) into DX4WIN .DXQ format.
Version 7.0 of the program was released on 1 July 2017. Go to the Version History to download the installation program.
NOTE: If you start the program and see any error messages like these:
The program can't start because MSVCP140.dll is missing from your computer.
The program can't start because VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing from your computer.
then you need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015. When prompted, download and install vc_redist.x86.exe (not vc_redist.x64.exe).
There is nothing wrong with importing a contest ADIF file directly into DX4WIN. For many, this is a perfectly acceptable solution. However, the adif2dxq program offers a few features beyond simple ADIF import:
After downloading the installation program, simply run it and install the program into a directory of your choosing.
To run the program, just double-click on the program icon. You will see a window like the following:
Specify the ADIF input file by clicking on the ADIF button. Once you specify the input file, the output file will be given the same name, but with a .DXQ extension. To change the output file name, click on the DX4WIN button.
Next, select the Format for the .DXQ (output) file. If you are using DX4WIN 8.0x, use the default format (DX4WIN8). If you are using DX4WIN 6.0x or 7.0x, choose the DX4WIN6 format instead. You must select this same format when importing the .DXQ file into DX4WIN (see below).
Next, select the Contest type. Not all contests are supported, others may be added over time. The operation of the program is unpredictable if you select the wrong contest type for your log.
Enter a Group Number, if desired. The default is Group 0 (the "all QSOs" group). Remember that you can also set the group number in your DX4WIN preferences, before starting the import.
You can enter text in the QSO Note field. You can put any text there you want, up to a maximum of 64 characters.
There are four optional checkboxes:
Finally, click on the Convert button to perform the conversion. If there are any warnings, they will show up in the window.
To import the resulting .DXQ file, choose File | Import/Export from the main DX4WIN menu. If you are using DX4WIN 8.0x, select the line in the Import/Export Filters window with DX4WIN8 in the ID column. If you are using DX4WIN 6.0x or 7.0x, select the line in the Import/Export Filters window with DX4WIN6 in the ID column. This must match the Format you chose when you converted the ADIF file. Next, in this same window, choose File | Import, then navigate to the location of the .DXQ file. Click on the name of the file, then on the Open button. DX4WIN will bring up an "Options for duplicate QSOs" window. Choose "Issue warning and stop". Then click on the OK button to import the file.
(new contests in bold)
(*) This is a special case of the program that does not populate the Recvd field in the logbook. It can be used to add an optional QSO Note and/or Group Number to each QSO in the ADIF file before importing it into DX4WIN. It recognizes these ADIF fields: GRIDSQUARE, NAME, NOTES and QTH. Others can be added upon request.
For contests not listed above, if the exchange is only a serial number, you can choose CQ WPX.
This program is offered as-is. I'll try to support it as best I can, but development is primarily motivated by the contests I operate.
I've only tested with very recent versions of N1MM, Win-Test (limited) and WriteLog. If the conversion doesn't go the way you expect, send me the .ADI file and I'll try to fix it.
If there is a bug, please let me know. If you want me to add a particular contest, the easiest way is to send me the .ADI (ADIF) file from your contest logging program (and of course tell me which contest it's from).
To download the installation program, click on the hyperlink containing the version number and date.

Last minute tips for parents when the SHTF

The opposite of pondering :the blame game
(The following assumes a standard post-SHTF where all parties are working toward rebuilding and not deliberately creating chaos for it to happen. That's an entirely different scenario that I'll discuss later)
When things turn bad, the first inclination is denial that something bad is occurring. When it's evident that it is in fact transpiring, in order to cope we look for simplistic answers. As anyone who's a student of history knows, it aint that simple. Life is remarkably complex for a single person or a community, but truly live in a sea of communities, little islands that we pretend don't exist, through smugness, or being obtuse, or lack of wisdom, or discernment. We're very isolated by what's going on personally. We become busy by our responsibilities and any minor entertainments to take away our daily concerns.
Others are thinking about themselves and by what's affecting out community, and note that outside forces are acting on it, and find ways to make it survive and thrive. When that fails then the easiest answer is that it's someone else's fault or that it's another group's fault.
Today, we like to blame the President. If that's not enough, we blame Congress. Maybe we blame the Republicans or the Democrats. I know, it's the Tea Party, no...it's the Unions or the OWS. Maybe it's White Oppression, no...it's a lack of initiative by Black people. No it's the Muslims...or maybe the Catholics. Hey maybe it's the Gays....and on and on. Maybe it's Aliens!
There are no easy answers why the SHTF. It's a combination of many tiny events and bad decisions and selfish decisions and weather and optimism and being afraid and agriculture and technology. It's never just one group, and anyone seeking to blame their misfortune on another group is not thinking clearly.
Each group, based upon their power or lack of it, affects change. The summation of that results in the change that affects you and your community. And believe it or not, the Source is always affecting change too. Shhhh...here's a secret...the Source is working on your behalf whether you believe it or not.
There is no doubt that certain very elite people because of their wealth have amassed enormous power. More about that later. But for now bear with me while we consider 99% of groups.
Divisiveness and choosing to support one group over another will most likely be based on poor analysis. That divisiveness will break down the little communities that allow our economic life to work. If the divisiveness breaks down even further and degenerates into violence, then very little work can be done while people battle each other. How many crops can be grown if there is constant threats of stealing? How many varieties of trade goods can there be if each community is attempting to grow the same plants or raise the same animals? We can only eat so much, and store so much realistically. This means each community needs trade in order to purchase the other things which can't be found in that region.
The blame game hurts our community. When the SHTF, it is a poor adaptation that will reallocate needed supplies and manpower to areas that don't produce anything but more violence.
You've heard me talk about self-segregation, but also about being tolerant. People should be tolerant of the differences of each other, and willing to accept differences within communities, but if there are lots of people that have different ideas than the majority of people, people must renegotiate that conflict so that the community thrives. Divisiveness doesn't offer good survivability intra-community either. If I like to drink ethanol, and I can produce it, but I live in a community of people who shun it due to spiritual beliefs, then while there may be a good source of surreptitious income from it for me, it's not in the communities best interest to let me stay, nor is it in my best interest to stay. This is partly why bootleggers stay on the periphery.
If I am a minority (and truthfully all people are) and can simply be a community member and not viewed as a minority, then people will tolerate me if I produce goods and services that benefit it. In a SHTF scenario, trying to stay in a community that is already suspicious of me, and that barely tolerates me when things are normal, and I don't have a way to produce goods and services, then I better get out of Dodge. It is foolish for me to stay. When the SHTF, most people have poor coping skills, and are not at their best, and will make poor analysis, and make snap decisions. If I'm caring for my wife and children, and allowing them to stay in a hostile environment, then I'm the one exhibiting a lack of common sense. You can rail against injustice, I often do, but mostly that bores people or simply is beating your head against a brick wall.
Because people are different, many tribes of various composition will develop based upon their values. When many city people bug out, then it will be very important as a community member and leader to shape the community to be tolerant to gather the best people to provide goods and services, but also to be honest about expectations.
The Latter Day Saints community are very prepared, with a command structure, and strong ethics, and usually a deep commitment to their families, but I don't share their belief system. I probably would have difficult living in one, more from my beliefs than them accepting me. I admire them, I find many of their men honorable, and their women refreshingly sweet and lovely. When they tried to move to find a community in decades past, they found many places with odd ideas about their beliefs and a severe lack of tolerance. Terrible violence occurred when they tried to live in certain villages. It would be far safer and wiser to found communities of LDS folks then to try to live as present day pluralistic societies. It is unrealistic post-SHTF to have them.
Diversity is the ideal. The most diversity can offer the most diverse skills. For genetic reasons, that diversity is usually a way of creating stronger children. But science and social engineering are not practical in a post-SHTF scenario until great strides are made in security. For example, many native peoples have actively recruited wives and husbands from surrounding communities because they inherently understood the power of genetics without ever understanding genetics. Many times that influx of culture brought new agriculture methods, customs, art, tool making, hunting, etc.
If you study the history of America, many tiny villages began based upon a collection of immigrants moving to an area and banding together since the trust level was higher. These most likely are villages a stone's throw from another village. Because people self-segregate, people relax more, and once things stabilize and calm down, then collaboration naturally happens from resources, specialization, and great trade items. Pretty girls and handsome boys will also facilitate the social exchange. Children always break down barriers. Neighbors will often cross the small distances that almost touch on the borders of little communities. These allow opportunities for people to visit, share their tools and experiences, eat together, and see, "Hmm they are pretty much the same as me."
The people having the most difficult time finding a community are Gay folks. Because they don't have children and who in turn are gay, they have to find tolerant communities who aren't nosy and waste time by scrutinizing their sexual practices. Instead they find communities who value people based upon their community involvement. I can foresee cooperative, very tolerant communities evolving. All societies have some level of Gay culture, it's just not talked about that much in history (well...that is studied by most people). Gay folks operated in Pioneer cultures very quietly at times, and far more tolerance happened in the West due to isolation. Some people just chose to live together, and no one knew the real extent of their relationship.
Just because society has evolved one way, don't expect it to stay the same. Far more radical social arrangements could evolve by necessity post-SHTF. If there are limitation on the number of men or women, and in order to produce a number of children to perpetuate growth, various groups in history have adapted social arrangements based on what the community over time felt was normal. This alone could make people relocate to another community. For example, if you take even the most rudimentary Anthropology class, you'll no doubt study the four genders of some Native American tribes. That's a radical idea for some people, even a shocking one. To me, it would only be shocking if I was forced to live there and to force me to live in a certain way. Since no one is forcing you to live anywhere, this means voting with your feet and moving to a community that reflects your personal lifestyle and ethos and core beliefs.
I love to meet people with incredibly diverse beliefs and cultures. That doesn't mean I'd like to live there. Well...maybe if the women are Latinas. Being tolerant but knowing how most people have acted
throughout history will give you some tools for rebuilding community and dealing with a community post-SHTF.

Aspinwall officer leads effort to ensure proper work with people with autism
Scott Bailey wants to make sure his fellow police officers and first responders are trained to deal with people with autism.
Bailey, a part-time officer for Aspinwall and Millvale and also a 911 dispatcher for Allegheny County and the father of a child with autism, was one of several people to testify at a hearing on autism training last week.
State Rep. Dom Costa (D-21) oversaw the hearing in Sharpsburg. He was joined by State Reps. Frank Burns (D-72) and Robert Matzie (D-16) and state Sen. Randy Vulakovich (R-40).
With a growing number of children being diagnosed with autism, the need for officers to be trained in how to handle situations involving an autistic person has grown.
One option available is for residents to fill out a premise hazard form that can provide information to officers through their computer system when responding to a call. Bailey said that service needs to be better advertised so more people can take advantage of it.
Bailey also suggested special training for officers on understanding autism.
He also said work is needed at the judicial level.
"We're not looking for excuses, we're looking for fairness," Bailey said.
He suggested a special autism court could be an option, but Tom Swan, deputy district attorney, said that idea did not receive much support.
Jessica Strong, founder and director of Strong Trainings, spoke about the need for mental health first aid and how people can better understand the experiences of someone with mental illnesses.
That help can go beyond just dealing with other individuals and can prevent problems from escalating, she said.
"It helps recognize symptoms that are developing in the person themselves and helps them seek help faster," Strong said.
Kelly Wall, Montgomery County Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas judge, said her court has focused on creating an autism awareness program. She said more children are being diagnosed with autism and many of them are likely to have interactions with the legal system.
"The court system must be prepared to deal with these numbers," Wall said.
Bailey said legal cases involving autism often deserve special attention, especially when considering punishment or a jail sentence.
"They already have a life sentence and that life sentence is autism," Bailey said.
Costa thanked the participants for their testimony and said it was a learning experience for himself and the other officials. He said there was still work to be done.
"We don't want to reinvent the wheel we just have to find a vehicle to put this all together," Costa said.

FDIC QuarterlySubscribe
The FDIC Quarterly provides a comprehensive summary of the most current financial results for the banking industry, along with feature articles. These articles range from timely analysis of economic and banking trends at the national and regional level that may affect the risk exposure of FDIC-insured institutions to research on issues affecting the banking system and the development of regulatory policy. The FDIC Quarterly brings together data and analysis that were previously available through three retired publications -- the FDIC Outlook, the FDIC Banking Review, and the FYI: An Update on Emerging Issues in Banking. Past issues of these publications are archived under their original publication names.
FDIC Quarterly 2017 Volume 11, Number 1- PDF (PDF Help)
Quarterly Banking Profile: Fourth Quarter 2016
FDIC-insured institutions reported aggregate net income of $43.7 billion in the fourth quarter of 2016, up $3.1 billion (7.7 percent) from a year earlier. The increase in earnings was mainly attributable to an $8.4 billion (7.6 percent) increase in net interest income. Of the 5,913 insured institutions reporting fourth quarter financial results, almost 60 percent reported year-over-year growth in quarterly earnings. The proportion of banks that were unprofitable in the fourth quarter fell to 8.1 percent from 9.6 percent a year earlier.
Community Bank Performance
Community banks—which represent 92 percent of insured institutions—reported net income of $5.3 billion in the fourth quarter, up $507.9 million (10.5 percent) from one year earlier. The increase was driven by higher net interest income and noninterest income, which was partly offset by higher loan-loss provisions and noninterest expense. The 12-month growth rate in loan balances at community banks was 8.3 percent, while growth at noncommunity banks was 4.8 percent. The noncurrent rate continued to improve, and community banks accounted for 43 percent of small loans to businesses.
Insurance Fund Indicators
Insured deposits increased by 1.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016. The DIF reserve ratio rose to 1.20 percent at year-end 2016, up from 1.18 percent at September 30, 2016, and 1.11 percent at year-end 2015. There were no failures of FDIC-insured institutions during the quarter.
Featured Article:
Banks Attract More Deposits While Operating Fewer Offices - PDF (PDF Help)
Deposits across the banking industry grew while the number of offices shrank among noncommunity banks and increased among community banks from the previous year, according to the 2016 Summary of Deposits survey. Meanwhile, offices in energy-dependent counties reported almost no deposit growth as natural gas, oil, and coal prices fell.

Alice Russell
Alice Russell is natural, pure natural talent, a natural presence, a force of nature. Whether on a big stage with her 16 piece band, charming a crowd of 4000 into staying out dancing in the rain (as she did at Montreal Jazz Festival) or rocking out an intimate club set with a stripped down 6 piece band, she's a singer who demands attention. Unfazed by taking to the spotlight after a sober Amy Winehouse or joining Roy Ayers live for 'Everybody Loves The Sunshine', there's no wonder her powerful soul voice has attracted rave reviews from numerous national and international publications and praise from fans as diverse as Gilles Peterson, David Byrne, Dennis Coffey, Massive Attack's Daddy G, and Groove Armada.

I have a site which is basically just going to present some information in the form of tables. To make it a little more interesting, I'm adding hover and click functionality to the TRs.
But then I wondered about people who just keyboards. Would it be cool to allow them to tab through the TRs, as if they were hovering with a mouse? And to trigger the "click" function when they press "enter"?
And now I'm considering people with screen readers. If I did add that tab/enter fallback, would that make navigating the page too cumbersome? After seeing this YUI video on accessibility, I wonder if a better way to do it would be to allow the user to tab to the table, and then use the up/down arrow keys to navigate.
After all of this, I've come full-circle and decided that I'm really over-thinking it. There are already perfectly convenient navigational methods available to the mouse-less and screen-readees. The hover and click things are just flourishes that I shouldn't worry about reproducing.
What does everyone else think?
I think it depends on exactly what you're making.
If you're making a CMS or some other web application, adding your own navigation methods might not be a bad idea if they really give you productivity benefits.
However, if you're just creating some table with data in it, I think you should leave it to the more default manners of handling it, since learning new behaviors isn't likely to be more productive.
SDL, I think you are making the hover show up using CSS correct? If so, the CSS equivelent to hover for keyboard users, is :focus. The click may work depending how it is used. (As a keyboard user, I can test)
If not, you need to explain more what you are doing with these...
It might be too much with the pop ups, depending on what they do, info they give etc. Screen readers, i know JAWS the best, have hotkeys once in the table. This is dependent on the user's level. Basic users will read the tables LTR, top to bottom. Advanced users know how to jump by table headings etc.
:active acts like :focus in IE6, so for that reason I'll have :active with :hover and :focus for styles in general... IE7 fixed :active but didn't provide a fixed :focus, so there's no non-javascript way around IE7 (bleh). At least IE8 fixed :focus.
Hm, we developers are already looking forward to IE9 and all the sweet new HTML5/CSS3 junk it'll support... yet my userbase will likely remain using WinXP for a long time, and IE6 still doesn't drop below Opera or Safari user levels... sigh...
Also use :active, however the rest of what Stomme says is spot on.
I'm just trying to figure out why you'd put it on the TR -- and of course laughing at how bad the site in question would break for all the people who actively block javascript. (see the various noscript users who pop up here from time to time)
I'd have to see what it is you are trying to do, but it sounds like a total and miserable accessibility /FAIL/ just from what you've said so far.
:focus does not work correctly (at all) in IE6 or 7, which may still be popular with users of older Windows screen readers.
:focus does not work on elements without a natural focus ability (which would be anchors and form controls). So, not tr's.
(on)click events can be placed on any element of any type; however if the element is not naturally focus-able, then keyboarders will not be able to reach it unless you've also had Javascript add a negative tabIndex (which will allow you to first put focus() on the element before click()).
OP: if this flourish isn't really adding anything, don't make it more complicated for everyone else. Sometimes it's ok to just have something for mouse-users only, because it's an enhancement (got a mouse? yay you get to do something cool/weird/stupid/cute) and not essential.

Date of Defense 2012-05-07 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe Edwards aquifer in south-central Texas, U.S., composed of faulted carbonate bedrock, contains freshwater and saline water. In aquifers that are used as a source of drinking water and that contain fresh and saline waters, saline-water intrusion can result in degradation of water quality. Yet, in the Edwards aquifer, limited saline-water intrusion has occurred. The questions addressed are "Why is the saline-water intrusion less than expected," and "Is there a trigger that will result in saline-water intrusion into the freshwater reservoir?" Three hypotheses were tested. One: an extremely saline water density might prevent mixing across the interface. Two: faults could be acting as a barrier between the freshwater and saline-water zones, preventing movement of the saline water into the freshwater zone. Three: the permeability of the bedrock in the saline water zone might be extremely low, limiting movement of the saline water. A transect of observation wells was chosen in New Braunfels, TX for study.
2-D, variable-density numerical models of groundwater flow were used to determine which factor controlled the lack of saline-water intrusion. Numerical models were produced for each hypothesis using Basin2. It is clear from each model that fault permeability and fault compartmentalization is the primary mechanism inhibiting flow across the freshwater/saline-water interface. When horizontal fault permeability reached 0.01 D, flow was significantly reduced across the interface. When these values reached 0.001 D, flow across the interface ceased. To a lesser extent, saline-water zone permeability controlled the movement of flow across the interface, if permeability values were reduced by three orders of magnitude. However, extremely high saline water densities did not inhibit flow.
A trigger that would increase fault permeability would be continued dissolution of the carbonate rocks, but it most likely would take tens of thousands of years for dissolution to significantly increase the permeability of the fault surfaces. In addition, dedolomitization of the saline water zone would be another trigger that would induce flow across the interface, but since little diagenesis in the saline water zone has been observed, dedolomitization is not a pressing issue.

(visited by David Coombs)
29-Jun-2005 -- I was on a mission - to visit as many opoints as possible on the 51N line - I started at 51N 14E.
From 9E to 8E there is no motorway and the journey seemed very slow. In fact it took about 2 hours. The point lies to the east of the road up to the Kindelsberg from Littfeld and following signs for the restaurant will take you as close as you can get.
Again the forest was thick and the GPS unresponsive but I did get all the zeros – briefly. Too briefly for the photo – never mind! On to the next.
Continued at 51N 7E
Coordinator's Note: I would like to add that the Degree Confluence Project is *not* a competition and while I understand the reasons behind trips such as this one I would caution against driving for 18 hours without rest stops or someone to share the driving with.

|SSHS lifters prepare for state meet
|Bobby "Butch" Burney | News-Telegram Sports Editor
March 31, 2005 - After lifting more than two tons of weight at the regional powerlifting meet, four Sulphur Springs lifters are heading to Houston for the Texas High School Powerlifting Association state meet on Saturday.
Sophomore Eric Gunderson, junior Zach Lewis and senior Kasey Follis will be competing at the meet, which will be held at the Campbell Athletic Complex. Senior Zane Attaway is also making the trip as an alternate and will compete if another lifter in his weight group is unable.
SSHS coach Dean Lasseter expects the four to compete well, but he acknowledged it will be difficult to score points by placing in the top five. The total of three lifts - bench press, squat and dead lift - are used to determine the overall standings, and none of the four are currently ranked among the top five in their weight classes.
Gunderson, competing in the 114-pound division, had a total lift of 780 at the regional meet, where he placed second. That is the 16th-best lift in his weight class going into the state meet.
Lewis totaled 1,010 pounds at regional in the 132-pound classification, which is the 12th-highest total among the state qualifiers.
Follis is ranked the highest of the SSHS lifters. His 1,200-pound total at regional is eighth-best among those in the 148-pound division heading into the state meet.
Attaway had a 1,425-pound regional total, which placed him third in the super heavyweight division. The top two in each weight class qualified for state.
"We're going to have to lift better than we have all year long to place," Coach Lasseter said. "We're kind of out of the picture a little bit right now, but you never know. If they're strong on Saturday, they may have a chance to compete for a medal."
The Wildcats haven't lifted in a meet since the regional competition in Greenville on March 5, but Lasseter said the lay-off shouldn't hurt their performance.
"The kids lifted all during spring break, and they've been lifting all this week, so lifting-wise, I don't think the break has affected us," he explained. "But, weight-wise, I hope they didn't gain too much weight."
Weigh-in is Friday evening, with competition to start at 9 a.m. Saturday.
"It's going to be tough this year to get in the top five. The ones who are going are ranked lower than that," Lasseter said. "They're going to have to have their best lifts to get a place.
"But, those guys are going to go down there and compete and have a good time because this is the state meet. They've accomplished a lot just to get there."

Tampa Prep senior Jay Bowie, a versatile 6-foot-5 forward who averaged a double-double while leading the Terrapins to the Class 2A state final, has committed to Division I Marist.
Terps coach Joe Fenlon announced Bowie's commitment in a text message early this morning. Tampa Prep's top scorer (15.9 ppg) and rebounder (10.0 rpg) as a senior, Bowie also collected nearly three steals a contest. In two state tournament games, he totaled 31 points and nine boards.
He'll likely contribute immediately to Marist, a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference program that finished 1-29 this past season.

Opening lines:
Lest details be mistaken for clues, note that Mr. Charles Unwin, lifetime resident of this city, rode his bicycle to work every day, even when it was raining. He had contrived a method to keep his umbrella open while pedaling, by hooking the umbrella's handle around the bicycle's handlebar. This method made the bicycle less maneuverable and reduced the scope of Unwin's vision, but if his daily schedule was to accommodate an unofficial trip to Central Terminal for unofficial reasons, then certain risks were to be expected.
Opening lines:
The morning sun burned in the old black man's eyes as he sat on the bench by the East River, gripping his knees, a broken liquor bottle at his feet -- as if the sunrise had frightened him to death, Benek thought, irritated at having been called out at dawn.
Opening lines:
Strangely enough, it would be the oak trees that Justine Burnelli remembered from the day Centurion Station died. She had been hurrying toward the safety bunker doors, along with everyone else in the garden dome, when she glanced back over her shoulder. The thick emerald lawn was littered with the debris of the party: mashed canapés stamped into the grass, broken glasses and plates juddering about as colossal gravity waves washed across the station in fast, unrelenting succession. Overhead, the timid light emitted by the nebulae surrounding the galactic core was being smeared into pastel streaks by the dome's emergency force fields. Justine felt her weight reducing again. Yells of surprise and near panic broke out from the staff pressing against her as they all fought for traction on the glowing orange path. Then a crack like a thunderbolt echoed across the dome. One of the huge lower boughs on a two-hundred-year-old oak tree split open close to the thick trunk, and the bough crashed down. Leaves swirled upward like a flock of startled butterflies. The whole majestic tree sagged, further fissures opening along the length of the trunk. It twisted as it started to fall into its neighbor. The elegant little tree house platform on which the band had been playing barely a minute earlier splintered and snapped apart. The last glimpse Justine had was of a couple of red squirrels scampering out of the toppled giants.

Retail stock Walmart (WMT) is the quintessential capitalist success story. Founded by Sam Walton in 1962 as just a mom-and-pop retail store in a small Arkansas town, Walmart has managed to grow into the biggest retailer on the planet. As king of the retail sector, Walmart serves more than 200 million customers a week at more than 8,000 affiliated stores worldwide.
But the question for investors is not how successful the company has been, but whether its shares represent a sound investment right now. The answer is yes – and here are five reasons why you should buy WMT stock:
- Walmart posts strong earnings: In February, Walmart reported fourth quarter earnings of $1.17 per share, 5 cents better than the consensus estimate for earnings of $1.12. Top-line numbers also impressed, rising 4.5% year-over-year to $113.65 billion, though the revenue numbers were just shy of earnings estimates. Though the company did offer a cautious outlook for Q1 and the full year ahead, its forecast was in line with analysts' estimates.
- A high dividend yield stock: On March 4, Walmart announced it was increasing its annual dividend by 11% to $1.21 a share in 2011, from $1.09 per share paid during the fiscal 2010. The beefed up annual dividend of $1.21 will be paid in four quarterly installments of 30.25 cents a share. This high dividend yield is great for investor who are looking for a quarterly dividend check in addition to share appreciation.
- WMT stock isn't overpriced: Walmart shares currently trade at price-to-earnings ratio, or P/E, of just under 15, and a forward P/E of 13, both well below retail industry averages. Also, the shares enjoy the widespread approval of analysts following the company. Of the 24 analysts who cover Walmart, nearly 80% recommend the stock. Moreover, the mean analyst price target for the shares over the next 12 months is $62.13 – a double-digit premium on prices as of this writing.
- Improving retail sales conditions: Moody's Investors Service recently upgraded the retail sector at large, saying that it expects credit conditions to improve for the industry over the next 12 to 18 months. Moody's also expects operating income in the sector to grow, driven largely by continued cost cutting efforts and improved consumer spending. According to Moody's, discount stores were among the most stable segments in the retail space.
- Walmart cashing in on international growth: While consumers in the U.S. are starting to spend more, the real growth action is overseas, particularly in emerging markets. Walmart currently gets about 20% to 25% of its business outside the U.S., and that mix is growing by about 15% a year. The company continues expanding into red-hot markets like China, and that means increased revenue in the months and years to come.

Quotable: Jake Gyllenhaal Buffed Up In The Shower
"The Jake Gyllenhaal workout plan…starts with growing long, long hair. Very long…gorgeous greasy locks and then washing every day….Wash, shampoo, then condition. Washing works the biceps and then the triceps by conditioning. And vigorously rubbing all of your body with soap really defines the abs and the pectoral muscles. And if you do squats while you're bathing — that's it!"
— Jake Gyllenhaal jokes with "Entertainment Tonight Canada" about how he got in killer shape for his new movie, "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time." And, Jake, if this was a ploy to get countless women — and men — picturing you in the shower, it worked.

Weight Loss Ad Turns The Overweight Into Target Practice
If you've been looking to lose a few pounds lately, one Brazilian weight loss company may have just the final motivational push you need: a higher likelihood of being shot to death! Whether these ads are saying that overweight people should be used for target practice or simply pointing out the fact that less surface area means fewer places to potentially be shot is unclear. What is apparent is that this is a highly questionable moment in negative reinforcement. What do you think? Does it strike the fear of a violent death into your heart and inspire you to melt away those love handles? Or does it just kind of make you want to gut punch whoever came up with it? For the record, we're leaning towards the latter. [Copyranter]
