<h2><a name="Executive" id="Executive"></a><span class="headline"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Message from the Executive Director</span></span></h2>
<p><span class="headline"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Dear Friends,</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">One of the great traditions of summer is the family vacation. For many of us the summer is marked by an annual trip to what we fondly think of as a family reunion—the NFB national convention. Although the NFB
convention is hardly a vacation as it includes more than two hundred formal meetings and many informal gatherings to plan the activities of the organized blind movement. All of those<br>
meetings are tied together with the annual renewing of friendships and establishment of new relationships with other blind people and supporters around the country and the world.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">The blind have more freedom of movement than ever before. Our work has opened up more possibilities for the blind to enjoy a summer vacation. It is incredible to think that it was only forty-five years ago
(1967) that New Mexico became the first state to adopt the model white cane law. The concept of the model white cane law was first introduced by Dr. Jacobus tenBroek in 1966, and during that year the NFB convention passed a resolution urging that the law be
adopted in every state. The model white cane law helped to establish the right of the blind to participate in travel and other aspects of the community that we take for granted today. It was not all that long ago that the blind had to fight for the basic right
to be out in the world traveling independently. Although we have more freedom, we still run into problems largely due to misunderstanding.</span></p>
<p> <span class="headline"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">During our convention, we launched a new online survey to gather information about the travel experience of blind people. This was centered around the experience of booking travel for,
and traveling to, our convention. However, we are going to expand the survey to gather general information about travel. Difficult Web sites, uninformed airport personnel, and inaccessible check-in kiosks are just part of the normal experience of a blind person
attempting to go off for a nice summer vacation. The NFB is committed to breaking down those barriers so that the blind have even greater access to the services that facilitate the tradition of summer vacations. I invite you to
<a href="http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=371&qid=17998" title="Travel Survey">
participate in the travel survey</a> to help us gather data about the barriers being experienced by blind travelers.</span></span></p>
<p><span class="headline"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">At this year’s convention, Southwest Airlines was a first-time sponsor and Southwest personnel were all over the convention gathering input about their services. Likewise, Travelocity
gave a presentation about their partnership with the NFB to ensure that their online services are fully accessible. Similarly, the convention received a presentation from U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood who discussed the many areas where the NFB
and DOT can work together to improve access to travel and improve safety for all. I believe this is just the beginning of an expanded network of travel providers who recognize that the blind want to take summer vacations too, and that more effort needs to
be put into ensuring that those services are accessible to the blind.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Your support of the NFB allows us to continue to expand the possibilities for the blind in travel. With proper training and equal access to travel services, the blind can vacation in all of the same places
as their sighted friends and family. Next time you observe a blind couple strolling down the beach with their long white canes, blind parents taking their children to the amusement park, or a blind person doing some leisurely fishing on the local lake, be
reminded that your support of the National Federation of the Blind has helped establish a new standard for the right of the blind to live in the world.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Enjoy your summer vacation!</span></p>

<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">The BELL Program</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">At the recent national convention, the fifth annual Dr. Jacob Bolotin Awards were presented to five innovators in the blindness field. The ten affiliates (listed below) were collective recipients for conducting
the Braille Enrichment for Literacy and Learning (BELL) program this summer. This joint award, in the amount of $30,000, was based on the critically important work these programs perform by bringing Braille and literacy into the lives of blind and low-vision
children and their parents. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">The BELL program was started in 2008 by members of the Maryland affiliate. After their success that year, the NFB Jernigan Institute adopted the program so that they could provide support and a consistent
curriculum as the program spread. Each year it has grown steadily. The purpose of the BELL program is to provide intensive Braille instruction to children ages 4-12 that are not receiving sufficient Braille in school or who could benefit from additional
Braille instruction. The program is structured with fun, hands-on activities for the children and their parents, and frequently includes lesson-specific field trips. For more information on the BELL program, or any specific state program, go to the Web site

</span></b><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">This month the NFB is unveiling the newest NFB youth science program. The week of July 24, twenty Junior Innovators (blind students ages seven through eleven) and ten Senior Innovators (blind students
ages fourteen through eighteen) are coming to the NFB Jernigan Institute in Baltimore. These students have been in contact with the NFB Jernigan Institute since the beginning of July to plan their personal projects. Students were asked to choose a topic they
wanted to learn more about, and to plan an investigation around that topic. Not surprisingly, the students have an incredible range of interests. Starting July 25, the NFB Jernigan Institute will be full of students studying shark teeth, building space elevators,
and making ice cream as well as performing many other investigative activities. The week will culminate in the Innovation Expo on July 28, which will give the students an opportunity to reveal the results of their investigations.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">In May, the NFB Jernigan Institute, in partnership with the Smith-Kettlewell Video Description Research and Development Center, hosted the first-ever video description professional development workshop. Nine
participants received training in video description at this inaugural workshop. The primary instructor was Rick Boggs, a blind professional currently working in this field. Rick and his team spent five days instructing participants. The history of audio description,
the ten principles of description, and the quality-control process were just a few of the topics covered. At the conclusion of the seminar, participants received their certification as Description Quality Specialists. In addition to the course content, participants
had the opportunity to take part in several confidence-building activities such as grilling and running the chainsaw, which have become a tradition for visitors to the Jernigan Institute.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">There is a new bulletin board in the Betsy Zaborowski Conference Room designed to educate visitors on the fair wages effort. This display is divided into three sections. The top three-quarters consists of
two of the three sections: Problem (on the left) and Solution (on the right). Under the Problem heading are four items: FLSA Section 14(c), $0.07, commensurate wage, and special wage certificate—all in blue letters on a white background. Under the Solution
heading are four items: HR 3086, Employment First, competitive integrated employment, and the Alliance for Full Participation. The color scheme for these words is white letters on a blue background. At an angle and spanning the border between the two sides
is the title of the board “Fair Wages.” Across the bottom of the board are eight QR codes mounted on foam-core board. These lead either to a Web site with information about one of the eight topics or to text describing the item. On the back of each QR code
is text in print and Braille that provides information about that item for people who do not have a device to scan the QR code. We intend for visitors to scan the QR codes, learn about each topic, and then match the QR code with the corresponding problem or
solution. The visitor can move each QR code and affix it next to the selected problem or solution using Velcro. The third section, the bottom quarter of the board, provides a short simulation of a work task in a sheltered shop. Visitors move one hundred
pennies from the can on the left to the can on the right in thirty seconds. If they do not meet this standard, they are given figures to calculate the commensurate wage they have earned. This section of the board is red. The border outlining the entire display
features actual coins on a red background. </span> </p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">The resolutions that pass form the policies of the NFB. Here is the list of resolutions that passed this year at convention. There are two resolutions that are primarily focused towards the company Amazon.com
(Resolution 2012-02 and Resolution 2012-14).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">On June 27, 2012, just days before the start of the convention, the NFB filed a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights for the United States Department of State, alleging that the State Department’s plan
to purchase and deploy 35,000 Amazon Kindles throughout the world violates federal law because blind people cannot independently access and use the devices or their content. The State Department had announced plans to purchase these e-reading devices under
a sole-source contract, at a cost of $16.5 million. More details can be found here on the
<a href="http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=357&qid=17998" title="Complaint">

<h2><a name="Technology" id="Technology"></a><strong><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Product and Access Technology Talk</span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">The access technology team had a busy time at convention this year. In addition to running our technology day on Saturday, we co-hosted a number of sessions with Apple on Sunday afternoon. These Sunday sessions,
which were introductory presentations about VoiceOver on iOS and the Mac, were very popular and very enthusiastically received. The Saturday, more broadly ranging, presentations, which covered iOS vs Android, Intuit, Deaf-Blind Technology and Windows on the
Mac, were also well-attended by the usual crowd of (more-geeky-than-average) users. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Due to our ongoing partnerships, the team facilitated a number of presentations during general session at convention. Steve Dumaine from Travelocity spoke eloquently and with insight about what he and his team
are doing to make Travelocity.com more blind-friendly. Richard Orme from the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) talked about some very exciting developments going on in the UK, where the first mainstream TVs with talking scheduling information
are now available. There were more than a few envious sighs at that presentation and the accompanying demonstration. Finally, Rob Sinclair, long-time director of Accessibility at Microsoft, gave a few glimpses of what is ahead for Windows 8. The release of
the new Microsoft operating system is anticipated with some trepidation, and we look forward to an entirely made-over Narrator speech access.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">The editors of the <em><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Braille Monitor</span></em> are kind enough to include a contribution from the tenBroek Library in each issue of the
<em><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Monitor</span></em> (except for the annual convention round-up issue). We alternate between presenting a document from our archival collections and featuring a published book that the library owns. Readers
of the <em><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Monitor</span></em> know that we try to identify sources for accessible editions of the books—whether Braille, audio, or electronic, and whether from the National Library Service network or some other
agency.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">There is one source of accessible (well, sort of accessible) books that we have consistently failed to mention, and we’re here to tell you about it now. It’s the Jacobus tenBroek library itself!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Even before the Jernigan Institute opened in 2004, NFB leadership committed itself to digitizing all published ink-print material in the tenBroek Library; and in 2010 we began shipping books to a scanning center
operated by the <a href="http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=359&qid=17998" title="Internet Archive">
Internet Archive</a>. The Internet Archive is a nonprofit that began as an effort to preserve snapshots of Web sites and soon expanded its efforts to include preservation of all sorts of textual and audiovisual material. (Incidentally, if you are interested
in seeing what the NFB Web site looked like in the early days of the Web, you can use the Archive’s “Wayback Machine” to get you there.)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">As of this summer we have digitized approximately half of the ink-print books and magazines that are identified in our catalog,

<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">One final point: Please note how we qualified our</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">claim about the accessibility of books scanned by the Internet Archive: we added in parentheses “well, sort of accessible.” Here’s why some of the material is only “sort of” accessible.The Internet Archive
does mass digitization quickly and at a surprisingly low price. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Our experience is that the Archive does a good job, given the speed and low cost. However, the digital product is only as good as the material allows it to be. Therefore, depending on the age and format of
the book, the type font, and the presence of smudges and other marks, the plain text version on the Internet Archive Web site may in places not make sense. Neither our partners nor Jernigan Institute staff have the resources to review each newly scanned item
to clean it up.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">The situation is different for NFB publications digitized by the Internet Archive. The tenBroek Library has also contracted with the Internet Archive for retrospective digitization of the
<em><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Braille Monitor</span></em> and
<em><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Voice of the Diabetic</span></em>. For these NFB publications—which we are mounting on our own Web site—our staff does review every article to make sure the HTML version is clean.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">We are interested in hearing from Federationists and others who read texts digitized by the Internet Archive. You can be certain that we are all working to make the literature of blindness more widely accessible. </span></p>
