<div style="font-size: 12px;">Talk with Rich Yamamoto for any length of time and the Towanda 8-year-old will tell you more than a few good-natured whoppers.<p/>He will also barely sit still.<p/>But it doesn't take long to see that this boy is smart as a whip. So smart that he is heading to Los Angeles next weekend to take part in the National Braille Challenge, a competition that brings blind students from the United States and Canada together and tests their skills in reading speed, accuracy and comprehension, and spelling and proofreading.</div>
