[nabs-l] J.A.W.S. and I.E. 9 not getting along

Thu Apr 5 01:02:04 UTC 2012

Hey guys,
For whatever reason, when I go on any other page than my homepage there are
multiple blank lines in between lines of text. (More blanks than should be
there.)

Even in google, there are more blank lines than there should be in between
results. From what I have read on the internet it, it seems that this has
something to do with a "buffering problem." But it has only gotten this bad
in the last week or so. I have a ton of papers due for school next week, so
this is really bad timing to be fixing accessability issues. Any help /
possible ideas for fixes would be greatly appreciated.

I am running Windows 7 and JAWS 11 with internet explorer 9.0.8112.16421

Thanks,
Ben Schuler

Quarterly Connections: News from the MSU-RRTC Linking Blindness and Low
Vision Research to Practice NIDRR Transition Project Complete In October
2007, the MSU-RRTC received funding from the National Institute on
Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) for a project focusing on
employment outcomes of transition-age youth with blindness or other visual
impairments. The project consisted of four major priorities, involving the
following activities: (1) a systematic literature review of interventions
and practices leading to employment outcomes for this population; (2)
analyses of national databases to explore relationships and identify
predictors of employment outcomes; (3) qualitative analyses of data from a
variety of sources, such as VR case records, interviews with consumers and
counselors, and focus groups with rehabilitation professionals; and (4)
development, implementation, and evaluation of two online employment
preparation interventions: one for youth in high school and one for youth in
college.
The project was concluded in December 2011, resulting in the development of
multiple publications and products in addition to a large number of
presentations at national conferences during the grant period. Read more . .

There are several great web sites with information on writing a high school
resume.  It is really important to have it formated nicely and to have
everything spelled correctly.  Check out:

http://jobsearch.about.com/od/sampleresume1/a/high-school-resume-examples.ht
m

Here is a sample of a resume with no work experience:

http://jobsearch.about.com/library/samples/blhsresume2.htm

Essentially you want the following:

Your name
Address
City, State, Zip 
Phone (Cell/Home)
Email Address

Objective:
To obtain knowledge of the day-to-day work of a business through a part time
job, summer internship and/or job shadowing experience. 
Education: 
Main St. High School, Philadelphia, PA 
Selected Courses: 
Early Childhood Development (2005) - Freshman Year
Urban Education (2006) - Sophomore Year
Urban Education - Psychology (2006-07) - Junior Year
Urban Education - Instructional Internship (2007-08) - Senior Year
Dance and Art Electives 
Interests:
Swimming, camping, canoeing
References:
Give name, address and phone number for 2 or 3 individuals and be sure you
let them know ahead of time to expect someone to call.
It is great to get an adult to go over it with you.  Sometimes there are
good things you have done that would be good to include, like being an
officer in a club, or feeding someone's pet, that you don't think about.
Good Luck!
