NFB-NEWSLINE

 


October 4, 2012



Dear Michael, 





  

Your 2012 election news is here!

 

We are pleased to inform you about the addition of Election News and
Information to the NFB-NEWSLINER telephone service and Web News on Demand.
Now, NFB-NEWSLINER subscribers can listen to information from each of the
presidential and vice-presidential candidates on their policies on
education, economy and jobs, energy and environment, equal rights,
healthcare, national security, and taxes. The information on the policies of
each of the candidates is taken from their own official campaign websites
and put on NFB-NEWSLINER to provide access for our subscribers.

 

We have also created a customized newspaper and magazine publication
containing articles, based on a search of the most popular newspapers and
magazines for both the Democratic and Republican candidates

 

The newspaper search has been done by using the names of the candidates, and
it has been limited to the top fifty newspapers to make it more manageable.
The list containing the top fifty newspapers used in performing this search
is at the bottom of this announcement for your reference. The list of
newspaper articles is divided into two issues: one containing articles from
today's newspapers, and another containing articles from yesterday's
newspapers. The articles are listed in chronological order, so that the most
recent articles are on the top of the list, and those that were published
earlier are toward the bottom of the list.

 

There is also a separate list of searched magazine articles about the two
presidential candidates containing the articles from the most recent
magazine publications.

 

To read election news on the telephone service, press the number 5 key in
the main menu to select the option "to read newspapers in a different
state." Then press 1 on the keypad to select "2012 Election News." Next
there will be a list with the following options:

To select the candidate for president, Democrat Barack Obama, press 1.

To select the candidate for president, Republican Mitt Romney, press 2.

To select the candidate for vice-president, Democrat Joe Biden, press 3.

To select the candidate for vice-president, Republican Paul Ryan, press 4.

To select the daily newspaper search results for Obama, press 5.

To select the daily newspaper search results for Romney, press 6.

 

Press the number 9 key to move to the next two items in the list in order to
read the magazine articles. You will see the following two options:

To select the magazine search results for Obama, press 1.

To select the magazine search results for Romney, press 2.

 

Once you make your selection in this menu, you will be taken to the next
menu containing the list of the searched articles, or the sections
containing articles pertaining to different issues, such as healthcare,
homeland security, or education.

 

The searched articles list can be searched even further for specific
phrases. For example, to find all the articles about Colorado in the list of
newspaper articles for president Obama, one may press the pound key twice to
start a new search. Each letter is typed by pressing two digits: For
example, 01 for the letter a, 02 for the letter b, 26 for the letter z and
so on. Press pound (#) once to get typing help. Once you type your search
term, "Colorado," NFB-NEWSLINER will bring up all the occurrences of
"Colorado" in the list of articles, and it will list them for you so that
you may go through and read those specific articles. Press the number 3 key
to go to the next article containing your search phrase, and press the
number 1 key to go back to the previous article.

 

A new feature has been introduced to assist you in managing a large number
of articles! You may press the number 1 key to circle back to the end of the
list of articles. This feature is especially useful when you have a list of
200 articles and you want to go all the way to the end of the list without
having to press the number 3 key repeatedly. For example, if NFB-NEWSLINER
tells you that there are 200 articles in a section and you want to go to
article 198, then you would press the number 1 key three times after hearing
the system state that it was reading article 1.

 

Those who want to do their own search for a topic and see all the
occurrences of an article in all the different publications may do their own
global search by typing their search terms. The global-search feature can be
used by pressing 0 from the main menu, followed by number 4, and then 8, to
create a new content search. You may type your search term by pressing 01
for the letter a, 02 for the letter b, 26 for the letter z, and so on. The
first time you search for a term, it will be added to your list of terms, so
that you don't have to type it again in the future. When you are in typing
mode, you may press the pound key once to get typing help. When you are
finished typing your search term, just dial 99 to start your search.

 

Election News is also available on the NFB-NEWSLINER iPhone app. It can be
accessed under the publications option by selecting Publication Groups and
then selecting 2012 Presidential Election. You may also read election
information on Web News on Demand at www.nfbnewsline.org

its Election News section and does not support or promote any view of any
candidate. The purpose of this additional service is to provide existing
news and information to subscribers in an accessible format. Enjoy the
Election News service, and have fun reading about your favorite candidate.

cagdu at nfbcal.comConcerning Guide Dogs and Cagdu's roll
Ken Volonte

	For about ten years and more, the California Association of Guide Dog Users have taken a conciliatory attitude with regard to guide dog schools.  All negative talk has been discouraged.  The result of this has been to make Cagdu a rather toothless division of the NFB.  I'd like a more adversarial relationship to be considered.

	What is prompting this?  There is one guide dog school in particular which has taken to threatening students rather unpleasantly.  A friend's dog died of cancer.  She wanted to know if any of the dog's sisters had this malady and asked for health notes on these dogs.  The school's response: "We don't ever foresee providing a dog that meets your satisfaction on our campus ever".  Keep in mind that her dog had just died.  Now Mary wasn't trying to cause trouble.  She was trying to alert the breeding staff of a possible problem.  

All of us are loyal to our schools, but when they mess up, it requires that we provide a necessary corrective.  It's part and parcel of being a member of NFB. The reader will note that I have not named the school.  That's because I don't want to be hit with the charge that I am being disloyal to my school.  

What is this mentality?  I'm talking about guide dogs not football teems.  Over the years, the schools have come up with some great ideas: use of the zoom groom, finger puppet tooth brushes and poultry flavored tooth paste, a kind of pier counseling; these were great ideas.  Not allowing tug-of-war, clicker training and the use of remote control chimes were just silly.  So were labradoodles and Velcro harnesses.  

When a school messes up, who better than guide dog users to tell them.  I say to you now I believe that all of the schools are breeding these dogs to be softer and softer.  The day will come when it isn't necessary for these dogs to actually guide.  They'll just have to look pretty. Since when did Rupert Murdock gain so much control over our lives?  I'm just sayin.  Every show involving dog or cat training involves clickers to the point that the general public expects, even demands that we use clickers and food rewards.  This could get a person killed, especially given the mechanical and practical constraints of using the clicker and a food pouch.

Message-ID: <06b901cdac1b$59d33200$0d799600$@net>



All,

At our National convention this past July the NFBC sold flashlights with a
loud alarm people can use while walking at night.  The idea behind the light
is to make us more visible to drivers.  The alarm can be triggered in case
someone feels threatened or concerned for their safety.

We have many flashlights left and they will be available for sale throughout
the convention.  The cost is $10, well worth the price for protection and
safety.

See you all at the convention.
