This is part 1 of 2 of the nevada nfb convention. We talk abot the imagination fun and I sign up for that. We also  here  from people who mentored at the youth slam. Theer's more. Check it out.

This is just a blog post so no audio guys.

 

I found this while browsing a technical news group I'm on.

 

..."Asked to comment about multiple lost-message reports in 11
different threads created in September and October in the Gmail Help
forum, a Google spokesman declined to address any of the specific
situations, citing privacy reasons.

However, he did emphasize that, as far as Google is concerned, "most
issues like this are a result of phishing attacks or compromised
passwords -- or sometimes simply messages mistakenly deleted or marked
as spam -- not a data corruption issue."

That explanation makes little sense to savvy and experienced Internet
users like Sessum and Squazzo, who are aware of phishing scams and
know better than to reply to suspicious messages -- let alone include
in them confidential, sensitive information, such as passwords. In
addition, they say they are the only ones with access to their
respective accounts.

Sessum, who also uses the hosted Google Docs applications and other
Google services, expected a more helpful answer from the company,
considering the extent of her data loss.

"In many respects, I'm building my small business on the back of
Google. And I believe that's what Google wants us to do. So it's
imperative that they provide at least a little support when something
goes wrong," said Sessum, who hosts her blog on Google's Blogger
service.

Although consumer Webmail services such as Gmail are generally free,
the user expectation is that the data stored in them will not be
corrupted, Gartner's Cain said."...

I am writing to tell you about a new, free service for the blind community: Read This To Me is a free reading service for the blind, powered by volunteers
and Internet collaboration.

ReadThisToMe allows blind and low-vision people to have printed documents read to them over the phone. All the blind person needs is a phone line and a
fax machine (no computer is required.) Here's how it works:

The blind person faxes the document to be read to the ReadThisToMe toll-free fax number: 1-877-333-8848. The first page of the fax needs to be a cover page
that includes the client's first name and callback (voice) phone number. The document itself can be just about anything: a handwritten letter, a bill,
a can of food, a multi-page magazine article -- just about anything that can be faxed Then, one of ReadThisToMe's volunteer readers will call the client
back and read the document.

The service is available throughout the U.S. and is absolutely free, though donations and business sponsorships are accepted.

More information is available at
www.ReadThisToMe.org.
Or, a recorded message describing how to use the service can be heard by calling 1-877-333-8847.

I created this service as a tool to help the blind. I hope you'll consider announcing it on the Marrie.org blog and wherever else is appropriate.

If you have any questions about this service, please contact me at
info@readthistome.org
