Subject: international roaming
For those of you travelling to convention, you'll notice that just a couple
hundred yards across the Detroit River is Canada, our neighbor to the north
(or in this unusual case, our neighbor to the south). Though you will need
a passport to cross the border, your cell phone doesn't. Depending where
you are in the hotel, your cell phone (or data card) may give up on a weak
signal from your carrier and switch to the Rogers Communications cell signal
from Canada. This constitutes international roaming and can be very
expensive. Unless you have a contract that includes it, you might consider
contacting your provider to disable international roaming, if only for the
first couple of weeks of July. I found AT&T to be very helpful in providing
assistance with my request. To make it a bit easier for those interested,
here are contact numbers for the various carriers:
AT&T : 611 or 800-331-0500
Sprint : *2, press Talk or 888-211-4727
T-Mobile : 800-937-8997
Verizon : *611 or 800-922-0204
Virgin Mobile : 888-322-1122
Here's to no cell phone bill suprises, eh? If you supervise anyone without
e-mail, please advise any of those attending convention.
Regards,
John

Subject: OH Student in March for Independence
Dr. Smith,
I hope you are doing well--I look forward to seeing you at the National
Convention.
Kevan Worley has asked me to coordinate a piece of the rally during this
year's March for Independence. We are going to be highlighting some of the
work accomplished through our Imagination Fund grants--at the national and
local levels. I wanted you to know that I have reached out to the family of
Boniface Womber from Ohio. I have asked Boniface to participate in the
rally. They are now making plans to be at the convention and I helped them
find a room at the Marriott--because I knew of someone here in Baltimore who
had one to give up.
I wanted you to know that Boniface would be at the convention with one or
more of his family members and that he likely will participate in the March
rally as one of our Junior Science Academy students.
Cheers,
Mark

Of course we missed you. I bet Connie the Cat did too.
You should probably giveher a lot of petting while you are on your break.
Do not bother to tell me you do not like her because I have a feeling that
wouldn't wash very well with her.
We had three people join the Chapter today making our Membership 20.
Who knows we could even get the Gavel Award real soon.
Watch out, Richard, you never know.

Opportunities to learn about NFB-NEWSLINE? Online?s revolutionary new
features available during NFB?s National Convention in Detroit Michigan
NFB-NEWSLINE? is looking towards the future with
new initiatives that make use of modern-age
assistive technology and devices. We have four
new initiatives, NFB-NEWSLINE? In Your Pocket,
Web News on Demand, Podable News, and KeyStream,
and we want to share information about our new
initiatives with national convention
attendees. To that end we have arranged for a
suite to allow for hands-on demonstrations of our
new features in addition to two tables in our
exhibit hall. Our suite will feature four
computer stations so that you can gain a better
understanding of, and first-hand experience with,
our new initiatives. We will have several
open-house events in our suite to accommodate the
time constraints of convention attendees, so
please look through the NFB-NEWSLINE? schedule
below to see which open-house sessions are a best
fit with your own schedule. You may feel free to
drop in during any of the open-house sessions.
For those of you unfamiliar with our new
initiatives, here?s a brief description of each
to whet your appetite before you come visit us in
our suite to fill up on these goodies:
Web News on Demand
Web News on Demand provides all of the features
that subscribers enjoy with the traditional,
phone-based service, including access to all of
their favorite publications, the TV listings, and
the Local Information Channel content. With Web
News on Demand subscribers can, for the first
time ever, visit a secure, text-only Web site
that offers the distinctive ability to view the
entirety of any publication offered on the
service. Further, this ability affords a
uniquely enhanced search capability as a reader
can search for a term throughout the
publication?s content. A subscriber using Web
News on Demand is able to send a full newspaper,
a section of a newspaper, or a single article to
his or her e-mail inbox, allowing for unrivaled
and immediate access to a breaking news story.
NFB-NEWSLINE? In Your Pocket
With NFB-NEWSLINE? In Your Pocket, we've
increased the flexibility and functionality of
NFB-NEWSLINE? so that our subscribers can more
easily and quickly get their news through a
digital talking book player (such as the Victor
Reader Stream, Icon, or Braille+). NFB-NEWSLINE?
In Your Pocket is a dynamic software application
that a subscriber installs on his or her computer
that, through an Internet connection,
automatically downloads the publications of the
subscriber?s choice to his or her portable
digital talking book player (such as the Victor
Reader Stream, the Icon, or the
Braille+). Through this revolutionary initiative
subscribers can gain easy and immediate access to
their favorite publications and enjoy the reading
experience that is offered with a DAISY-reading device.
Podable News
Podable News provides publication content in an
audio format so that subscribers can use an Ipod
or other MP3-playing device to access their
favorite newspapers and magazines. Also, with
Podable News, you now have the ability to create
your own "paper." If you like to read USA
Today's sports coverage, but prefer the Wall
Street Journal's technology reporting, and you
never miss The New Yorker's Shouts and Murmurs
column, you'll really appreciate NFB-NEWSLINE?'s
innovative functionality using your MP3-playing device.
KeyStream
This initiative streams NFB-NEWSLINE? publication
content over the Internet, allowing for the same
usability and flexibility as the traditional,
phone-based service, but is accessed with your
computer. KeyStream is quite easy to use, even
for those with very little computer experience.

Dear Colleagues,
Are you a power user of the KnfbReader Mobile? Are you attending the
up-coming NFB National convention in Detroit? Are you interested in
earning a little extra spending money?
If your answers to these three questions were "yes" then I would like
to talk with you. As you may know, the NFB is a National distributor
for the KnfbReader Mobile. We will be operating the KnfbReader booth
at the NFB convention. I am looking for a few good Reader users to
help demo on Saturday, July 4, and Sunday, July 5. If you believe
you can do the job please call me before Friday, June 26, 2009 at
(415) 827-4084 so we can discuss how you might fit in.
I am also looking for some help from one or two persons who can help
us with credit card processing. For this job I will need people who
can see and read a laptop computer screen. If you or someone you
know might be interested again please call me at (415) 827-4084.
Thank you for your help. The KnfbReader Mobile is the most exciting
product yet developed by the team of the NFB and Ray Kurzweil. I
appreciate your help in making Reader sales a great success in Detroit.
To your success,
Mike Hingson
The Michael Hingson Group

> Opportunities to learn about NFB-NEWSLINE? Online?s revolutionary new
> features available during NFB?s National Convention in Detroit Michigan
>
> NFB-NEWSLINE? is looking towards the future with
> new initiatives that make use of modern-age
> assistive technology and devices. We have four
> new initiatives, NFB-NEWSLINE? In Your Pocket,
> Web News on Demand, Podable News, and KeyStream,
> and we want to share information about our new
> initiatives with national convention
> attendees. To that end we have arranged for a
> suite to allow for hands-on demonstrations of our
> new features in addition to two tables in our
> exhibit hall. Our suite will feature four
> computer stations so that you can gain a better
> understanding of, and first-hand experience with,
> our new initiatives. We will have several
> open-house events in our suite to accommodate the
> time constraints of convention attendees, so
> please look through the NFB-NEWSLINE? schedule
> below to see which open-house sessions are a best
> fit with your own schedule. You may feel free to
> drop in during any of the open-house sessions.
>
> For those of you unfamiliar with our new
> initiatives, here?s a brief description of each
> to whet your appetite before you come visit us in
> our suite to fill up on these goodies:
>
> Web News on Demand
>
> Web News on Demand provides all of the features
> that subscribers enjoy with the traditional,
> phone-based service, including access to all of
> their favorite publications, the TV listings, and
> the Local Information Channel content. With Web
> News on Demand subscribers can, for the first
> time ever, visit a secure, text-only Web site
> that offers the distinctive ability to view the
> entirety of any publication offered on the
> service. Further, this ability affords a
> uniquely enhanced search capability as a reader
> can search for a term throughout the
> publication?s content. A subscriber using Web
> News on Demand is able to send a full newspaper,
> a section of a newspaper, or a single article to
> his or her e-mail inbox, allowing for unrivaled
> and immediate access to a breaking news story.
>
> NFB-NEWSLINE? In Your Pocket
>
> With NFB-NEWSLINE? In Your Pocket, we've
> increased the flexibility and functionality of
> NFB-NEWSLINE? so that our subscribers can more
> easily and quickly get their news through a
> digital talking book player (such as the Victor
> Reader Stream, Icon, or Braille+). NFB-NEWSLINE?
> In Your Pocket is a dynamic software application
> that a subscriber installs on his or her computer
> that, through an Internet connection,
> automatically downloads the publications of the
> subscriber?s choice to his or her portable
> digital talking book player (such as the Victor
> Reader Stream, the Icon, or the
> Braille+). Through this revolutionary initiative
> subscribers can gain easy and immediate access to
> their favorite publications and enjoy the reading
> experience that is offered with a DAISY-reading device.
>
>
>
> Podable News
> Podable News provides publication content in an
> audio format so that subscribers can use an Ipod
> or other MP3-playing device to access their
> favorite newspapers and magazines. Also, with
> Podable News, you now have the ability to create
> your own "paper." If you like to read USA
> Today's sports coverage, but prefer the Wall
> Street Journal's technology reporting, and you
> never miss The New Yorker's Shouts and Murmurs
> column, you'll really appreciate NFB-NEWSLINE?'s
> innovative functionality using your MP3-playing device.
>
> KeyStream
> This initiative streams NFB-NEWSLINE? publication
> content over the Internet, allowing for the same
> usability and flexibility as the traditional,
> phone-based service, but is accessed with your
> computer. KeyStream is quite easy to use, even
> for those with very little computer experience.
