Message from the Executive Director
Dear Friends,
Those who find significance in numbers find powerful value in the number 11.
The number 11 is said to signify, among other things, vision, invention, and
fulfillment. Whether or not you find any interest in numerology, you had to
find synergy between this perspective of the number 11 and the year ahead
for the National Federation of the Blind.
On January 5, we started the year by celebrating the vision of the NFB when
President Obama signed into law the Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act. The
NFB began raising concerns about the dangers posed by silent vehicles
roughly eight years ago. It took some time for our vision of a world
friendly to both pedestrians and more-energy-efficient vehicles to get the
attention of policymakers. After years of work, our vision has been signed
into law and is also being considered in international policy discussions.
On January 29, we will see the first public demonstration of our most recent
efforts at invention. The Blind Driver Challenge
http://www.raceforindependence.org/site/R?i=HuwooqnOd0jXHQLcVQW2Sw..
(TM) represents an inventive spirit that will advance our mission to push
both the horizon of independence for and shatter misconceptions about the
capacity of the blind. I hope you will be on hand for our historic
demonstration in Daytona.
Finally, what could be more fulfilling than the tremendous work ahead for
the Federation this year? This work includes educational programs, new
employment opportunities, and expanded outreach to newly blind individuals
in each of our fifty-two affiliates. The scope and reach of the Federation
is broader and deeper than ever before. The fulfillment is observed in the
lives of thousands of blind people who are positively impacted by the work
of the Federation on a daily basis.
Whether or not you believe in the symbology of numbers, you cannot help but
find meaning in the plans for the National Federation of the Blind in 2011.
I hope that you will resolve yourself to be more engaged in the fulfilling
work we are carrying out across the country.
Happy New Year!

Challenge(TM)
The official start time for our NFB Blind Driver Challenge(TM) demonstration
has been set for 11:30 a.m. on January 29, 2011, at the Daytona
International Speedway, preceding the Rolex 24 at Daytona. This will be an
historic exhibition of a blind person using innovative nonvisual access
technology to perform a task most people thought impossible-independently
driving an automobile. The foundation of many misperceptions about blind
people and blindness will be shaken. If you plan to be in the NFB
grandstands to watch the first demonstration of a blind person independently
driving a car, please e-mail us right away at bdc at nfb.org, or call Kristian
Kuhnke at (410) 659-9314, ext.
2219.
You can obtain more information about the NFB Blind Driver Challenge(TM),
Rolex 24 at Daytona tickets, and discounted lodging, by visiting

Onkyo Braille Essay Contest
The NFB administers the Onkyo Braille Essay Contest in the U.S. on behalf of
the North American/Caribbean Region of the World Blind Union. The essay
contest, sponsored by Onkyo Corporation, a Japanese consumer electronics
manufacturer, and the Braille Mainichi, part of the Mainichi Newspaper
Company in Japan, was created to promote Braille literacy and to encourage
the sharing of social and cultural information among blind and visually
impaired persons.
Essays are required to be written in Braille and to pertain either to how
the individual gains knowledge or independence through Braille or to an
individual concept about world peace from the viewpoint of persons with
disabilities. There are two groups of competitors:
a junior category for persons up to age twenty-five and a senior category
for persons over age twenty-six. Each winner receives a substantial cash
prize, a plaque, and other gifts from the Onkyo Corporation. See the full
list of 2010 Onkyo Braille Essay Contest winners contained in NFB's press
release on the competition.
http://www.raceforindependence.org/site/R?i=XQXWJeK7ZCfO6SySTYGojQ..
The 2011 NFB Writing Contest is Coming Soon!
The annual writing contest sponsored by the Writers' Division of the NFB is
open through April 1. Adults eighteen years and over compete in poetry,
fiction, and non-fiction categories. The youth contest is all about
Braille-all poetry and fiction entries are required to be submitted in
Braille. Youth are divided into three groups: first through sixth grades,
seventh and eighth grades, and ninth through twelfth grades.
Prizes for contest winners range up to $100 for adult categories and up to
$25 for youth categories.
For additional contest details and submission guidelines, go to the Writers'
Division Web site.

Advocacy
The U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate both passed the Pedestrian
Safety Enhancement Act, and they sent it on its way to the White House,
where President Obama signed it. The law will ensure that blind people and
other pedestrians can travel safely because they will be able to hear "quiet
cars"
approaching. The Associated Press reported on the bill's success in the
article "Congress: Hybrid cars should be seen AND heard." For more
information, see NFB's press release.

partner TORC Technologies to test drive the new BDC vehicle."
Product and Access Technology Talk
The Access Technology team looks forward to an action-packed 2011. As usual,
the new year starts with the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, which
is sure to bring some exciting new electronics to the fore.
http://www.raceforindependence.org/site/R?i=x-rYu_NGchBSZ0Qg1QqIGQ..
In March, the team will present at the 26th Annual International Technology
& Persons with Disabilities Conference (CSUN) in San Diego. The team will
cover the following topics: the use of social networks by the blind, tactile
graphics, and comparing notetakers and mainstream alternatives. CSUN is
always a great place to learn about new technology and exchange ideas with
others in access technology.
http://www.raceforindependence.org/site/R?i=TfMzbHGwQHz3R53gf7Rgug..
For reports from the Consumer Electronics Show floor and a post on the Book
Port Plus, go to the NFB Jernigan Institute's Access Technology Blog. We
promise to continue to share our technological discoveries with you in 2011
as we did in 2010.

>From the tenBroek Library
We're going digital!
The tenBroek Library has enhanced its usefulness to those unable to visit us
in Baltimore or who use screen readers. In the November
http://www.raceforindependence.org/site/R?i=950htjdIyN7T-dEyDnY3Yg..
Imagineering we announced that the Internet Archive had scanned all issues
of the Braille Monitor back to 1957. Clean files are now being mounted on
the NFB Web site; and we will continue to clean and add issues until the
entire run is available.
http://www.raceforindependence.org/site/R?i=b6O4O904p9E_Leczg-leQQ..
We've also been making headway in creating links from records in THE BLIND
CAT to digital files. Search for your favorite Kernel Book, or banquet
speech; they're all there! Look also for other files that reside on the NFB
Web site, such as NFB Vice President Fred Schroeder's doctoral dissertation.
http://www.raceforindependence.org/site/R?i=AhZr9wrp7FvJvYRHkLkzPQ..
Sometimes we link to publishers' Web sites, especially when a periodical is
available at no cost online. (Unfortunately some issues are only available
in inaccessible PDF format. If you encounter an inaccessible file that you
need to see, please let us know, and we'll try to help.) Try looking for
each of these on THE BLIND CAT link:
jtblibrary at nfb.org
http://www.raceforindependence.org/site/R?i=hjvIosjgOd5ysg-fLZl7qg..
* Deaf-Blind Perspectives
* The Disability History Association Newsletter
We are also linking to digitized versions of books in our collection that
are no longer under copyright. We're finding that many of them have already
been digitized-by the Internet Archive or Google Books or other services-and
we've simply linked to the existing files. We already have more than a
hundred active links.
So, look up a few of these items on THE BLIND CAT, and let us know what you
think:
http://www.raceforindependence.org/site/R?i=QZmjeXj7FPFN2M4ibzFkGA..
* Laura Bridgman: Dr. Howe's Famous Pupil and What He Taught Her by Maud
Howe and Florence Howe Hall
* Light for the Blind: A History of the Origin and Success of Moon's
Institution for Embossing and Circulating the Bible and Other Books in
Moon's Type for the Blind
* Five Lectures on Blindness by Kate M. Foley
* Blindness and the Blind, or, A Treatise on the Science of Typhlology by
W. Hanks Levy
And, just before Christmas we sent a shipment of eighty books to the
Internet Archive for scanning. Links to the new files will appear in THE
BLIND CAT within a month or two.
http://www.raceforindependence.org/site/R?i=w7HlaIALm1d6uienlrDxTw..
It's an exciting project. Stay tuned for further news.
Independence Market
In a recent issue of Imagineering we described the Braille and large print
calendars available through the NFB Independence Market.
Some are still looking for a calendar solution to best fit their needs. We
have just added a new large print organizer to our product line. Here are
the details.

Parent Outreach
Mathematician Dr. Al Maneki moderated a panel on access to mathematics
classes by blind students at the 2010 National Convention. He wrote about it
in "I Survived Math Class" in the
http://www.raceforindependence.org/site/R?i=yToCkOZJXnawyMnO2qN9gg..
Future Reflections 2010 convention issue. Al says that the response to the
panel was enthusiastic, but it raised a number of unanswered questions. He
realized how little is actually known about how blind people handle the many
challenges of math. With the help of the Jernigan Institute, Dr. Maneki has
compiled a series of survey questions to help us learn more. Please consider
participating in this survey designed to gather information on handling math
in Braille. Al Maneki can be contacted at apmaneki at earthlink.net,
(443) 745-9274, or 9013 Nelson Way, Columbia, Maryland 21045

The TeachBlindStudents.org initiative is a resource for those interested in
exploring what it would be like to be a teacher of the blind. Its goal is to
increase the ranks of educational professionals specializing in teaching
blind students through the Teacher Recruitment Network and Teacher of
Tomorrow mentoring program.
The Teacher of Tomorrow program's mission is to connect enthusiastic
students who are preparing to teach blind children with the support,
resources, and positive blindness philosophy of the National Federation of
the Blind. This partnership represents a unique opportunity for growth and
innovation. Emerging teachers and the organized blind movement will work
jointly to provide blind students a high-quality education that draws on
proven professional practice from the vast expertise and mentorship
available through the organized
blind movement. The NFB has now chosen the initial cohort
participants. For more information, see the article "NFB Teacher of Tomorrow
Program: Partnerships for Success," by Rosy Carranza, in the January 2011

Spotlight on the Imagination Fund

One of the purposes of the Imagination Fund
http://www.raceforindependence.org/site/R?i=fz5m3RGzNufT8JIYB_IDzw..
is to support the innovative, informative, and inspiring programs of the
affiliates and divisions of the National Federation of the Blind through
Imagination Fund grants. The Florida Organization of Parents of Blind
Children (FOPBC) applied for and was awarded an Imagination Fund grant for a
program they developed called "Adventures in Blind Optimism." It gives
parents and blind children the opportunity to network, socialize, interact,
and participate in educational workshops on Saturdays throughout the year.
Why is networking between parents of blind children so important? According
to Lenora Marten, President of the FOPBC, "There is absolutely nothing that
replaces information gathered from parent-to-parent. It warms my heart when
I see parents meet at an event, bonding and sharing with each other. And
most of the time, that sharing results in the improvement in the lives of
their blind children."
To learn about some of the informative and fun activities of this program,
please visit the Adventures in Blind Optimism Web page.

Disabilities | "Handicap" redefined
PREDICTION: There is a growing perception that the primary disabilities of
blindness, deafness, and physical impairment do not necessarily impart
handicaps. Disabled persons routinely describe their disabilities as mere
inconveniences. Intelligent technology has become the great leveler.
ACCURACY: Correct
DISCUSSION: Indeed, the perception of disabled persons (such as blind
persons) being profoundly handicapped has changed dramatically over the past
15 years. This is the result both of technologies-such as portable reading
machines that overcome the handicaps associated with these disabilities-and
civil rights advocacy by groups such as the National Federation of the
Blind.
Blind people, for example, are routinely taking every category of jobs.
According to Laura Sloate, the blind managing director of a Wall Street
firm, "Blindness was a disability. Now it's just a minor, minor impairment."
Perhaps most encouraging is that when David Paterson, a blind man, became
Governor of New York State, it was considered a routine development.
