Hi Samir,

Thank you for prompt suggestion.  You may be perfectly right.  I had too
received a similar mail from dead Chechenia top ruler's wellwisher on my
Rediffmail Account some days back which did not return back with reply when
he/she came to know I am a blind person wanting to use money for some
welfare work.

Regds,

Hello Everybody!
  Enable India is planning to conduct Teacher's Training workshop for those
who are interested to teach computers for VI.
According to our plan, the workshop should start in the beginning of
December 2006. Since we are still waiting for funding &  
certification from RCI, the dates might get postponed.
However, still we would like to have the workshop in the scheduled date for
needed people only if they can manage their travel  
fare, accommodation & also can pay the course fee.
  For further details, please contact on the numbers given below.

Dear Friends,

Please delete the mail and ignore such mails in
future.

Such mails are the work of a sophisticated group of
criminals who prey on people's greed. They claim to be
in possession of fantastic sums of money and inform
you that the person to whom the money belonged is
dead. Such people usually are the top industrialists
or dictators of some African country and usually die
along with all their family members. 

This fraud is also called as the "Nigerian Fraud" and
is one of the top internet frauds. Several governments
including our own are attempting to shut this fraud
network down but with limited success. 

As for the mail posted by our friend, the African
Development Bank is not a deposit accepting bank. It
is one of the regional banks set up under the United
Nations banner to help in development of specific
regions of the world. Like it's Asian counterpart, the
Asian Development Bank, this Bank helps to channellise
international assistance for long term projects like
construction of road networks, dams, etc.

So, friends, please beware of such mails. People have
lost millions and even their lives due to these scams.

Regards
Sameer Latey
Mumbai, India.

Hi all, 
may I seek your assistance in resolving the following problem:  
I am using jaws 6.2 with word 2003.  After drafting a document;  I try to
review the same.  when I do insert + down arrow;  It seems to be reading
fine.  but when I simply do up arrow or down arrow; jaws announce blank .
when I am also pressing left arrow and right arrow; jaws announce blank.
This is very annoying and create major hindrance in performing review of any
assignment.   
could anyone throw some light on how best to resolve this problem.  
thanks and cheers.

The following article is from new york times, still it might be useful for
people in india as well.

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/06/technology/06ecom.html?th&emc=th


Do the Rights of the Disabled Extend to the Blind on the Web?
Marty Katz for The New York Times

James Gashel of the National Federation of the Blind with voice-simulation
technology at headquarters in Baltimore.

Published: November 6, 2006

ACCORDING to an advocacy group,
Target
declined last year to make its Web site fully accessible to blind people
with specialized screen-reading technology last year. If true ? and Target
has
denied the accusation in court ? it was a public relations blunder, and it
may have been illegal as well.

The National Federation of the Blind sued Target, contending that the
company?s inaction violated the Americans with Disabilities Act because the
Web site
is essentially an extension of its other public accommodations, and as such,
should be easily accessible to people with disabilities.

A Target spokeswoman would not comment on those assertions, but in court the
company offered testimony from three blind users rebutting the federation?s
arguments.

On Sept. 6, a federal judge in California held, in a preliminary ruling on
the suit, that in some instances, Web sites must cater to disabled people.

Legal scholars say the full reach of that ruling will not be clear until the
case is decided, if it reaches that point.

But in the meantime, the dispute shows that although commercial Web sites
have made considerable strides in serving this small fraction of their
customer
base, there are still substantial difficulties on both sides of the screen.

?Web sites are more useful than they used to be, but there are still a few
more hurdles than you?d like to have to go through,? said James Gashel, an
executive
director of the federation, based in Baltimore.

Mr. Gashel said that most sites accommodate screen-reading technology, which
tells blind users the layout of a Web page and describes images, search
prompts
and other fields into which users can type information to find a product or
complete a purchase. (The most popular screen-reading software, Jaws for
Windows
from Freedom Scientific, sells for around $900.)

When sites do not accommodate screen-reading software, the online shopping
or browsing experience breaks down for the 200,000 or so of the nation?s 1.3
million people with vision disabilities who are online, according to Mr.
Gashel.

Most online stores go to great lengths to make sure that their sites are
accessible to people with disabilities, simply because it is good business
to allow
as many people as possible to shop. And online-shopping technology
specialists say it is not so difficult or costly a task.

?It?s very straightforward to make a site accessible,? said Dayna Bateman,
senior information architect at Fry Inc., which operates e-commerce Web
sites
on behalf of large retailers including Brookstone, Eddie Bauer and Spiegel.

Ms. Bateman said that the more software coding a Web site could offer to
help screen readers and other technologies navigate a site, the more likely
it
was that the Web site would show up on search engine results, because
Google,
Yahoo
and others looked to the same coding for clues about the Web page?s content.

?So it?s actually an advantage in the marketplace,? she said. ?I just don?t
think a lot of folks are schooled enough in accessibility to know that.?

For advocates of people with disabilities, the most effective tool for
ensuring a smooth online experience has been the Americans with Disabilities
Act.
But because the law was signed in 1990, before the Web was in common use,
its language offers little guidance on how to approach questions of online
accessibility.

A variety of lawsuits based on Disabilities Act provisions have been brought
against online companies, notably one brought by Mr. Gashel?s organization
against AOL in 1999, but the suits were settled before judges could offer
clear guidance on how, or whether, the law applied to Web sites.

In denying Target?s motion to dismiss the suit two months ago, Judge Marilyn
Hall Patel of United States District Court in San Francisco held that the
law?s
accessibility requirements applied to all services offered by a place of
public accommodation. Since Target?s physical stores are places of public
accommodation,
the ruling said, its online store must also be accessible or the company
must offer equally effective alternatives.

So what about online-only Web merchants like
Amazon.com,
BlueNile, Drugstore.com and
RedEnvelope
as well as fast-growing young online companies like YouTube and MySpace?

?That issue is still up for grabs,? said Michael R. Masinter, a law
professor who specializes in Disabilities Act and civil rights issues for
Nova Southeastern
University, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Mr. Masinter said the Target suit,
since it involved an offline merchant?s online operations, would not address
that
issue.

The case, though, is important to Amazon, because it runs Target?s online
store as it does those of a handful of other big offline merchants.

An Amazon spokeswoman, Patricia Smith, said that ?as a matter of course we
work cooperatively with all of our retail partners to develop and implement
the
tools and features they want incorporated onto their Web sites.? Amazon, she
added, ?is already generally usable for people with screen readers.? It has
offered a text-only, streamlined site designed for such devices (
amazon.com/access).

Mr. Masinter said one potentially thorny issue in the Target suit was
whether phone services offered by online merchants were suitable
substitutions for
the Web site when the site did not work well for technologies like
screen-reading software. Given the high cost of maintaining phone-based
customer service
operations, the question would be of particular interest to retailers and
disabled people.

Companies in one emerging category of Internet commerce, online education,
have the most ground to make up in adapting their offerings for the
disabled,
according to Jane Jarrow, president of Disability Access Information and
Support, an education industry consultancy.

Most online-only schools, Ms. Jarrow said, ?are oblivious to the fact that
they have a significant issue here.? Many online-only schools rely on chat
rooms,
for instance, for class discussions, and screen-reading software does not
function properly with chat rooms ? nor can learning-disabled students often
keep pace with the discussions.

The issue has become critical because many online-only schools became
eligible this summer to receive federal student aid. But to get such funds,
organizations
must adhere to regulations in the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which has been
updated to say that all Web sites of groups receiving federal money must be
accessible to people with disabilities.

Capella University, a Minneapolis-based institution known for online
courses, employs a full-time disabilities specialist, who, among other
things, has
guided the school to avoid using online chat rooms for its courses. Some
online schools follow similar approaches, but most do not, said Richard
Allegra,
director of professional development for the Association on Higher Education
and Disability, an industry group.

?I think people are starting to understand their obligations to make their
services accessible,? he said. ?The question they have is, how to do that??

Dear Friends,



It has always been a great learning experience here on Access India. My
association with this amazing group goes way back to October 2001, in case
you are wondering 'who is this joker that so many people are talking about
all of a sudden'



Life has just begun for me, The Sun has just risen on my career. There is so
much to learn, so much to be done and so much to achieve in life.

Besides we all know that to be counted amongst the ordinary a visually
challenged individual has to be extraordinary.

So whatever I have done is just a grain of salt in the sea.



Now coming back to business?

I take this opportunity to Thank 'all of you lovely people' for all the
lovely wishes you have showered on me.



I also convey a warm and special gratitude to Ms. Zainab Cheenikamwala for
going out of the way in helping me with my exams and placement.



Inspirational Mr. Sriram, Mr. Jyotindra Mehta, and all those friends who
inspired me in times of despair are held in high regard.


and above all, I wish to Thank Mr.Gordon Faife, Mr. Dayanand Kanchchan, Mr.
C.H. Srinivasu  and the whole team of N.A.B Bangalore for imbibing the
fighting spirit in me.



I love you all and wish all of you the best of health, success and
happiness.



Please remember 'A failure just indicates lack of sincere efforts in the
right direction and shows you another path towards success?..'



With warm regards,



yours affectionately,

Rahul Jain
