"Fairly informative book"
It had some good info, but quite a bit seemed common sense. Some of the info is definitely outdated also. Good for someone who isn't already frugal.
"A little dated but priceless concepts"
Loved it and intend to gift it to several loved ones! I wish there were an updated version using more contemporary statistics.
"The Best book on personal finance"
Read early in life
Illuminating from beginning to end, best financial advice for anyone!
Be frugal, save, invest wisely
"Interesting Insight Delivered by Top Narrator"
Wealth = Offense + Defense
Gaining insights that suggest how real wealthy people behave, as opposed to the rubbish presented in media.
Cotter Smith is a rock star. I wish all audio books were performed by Cotter Smith. Purchasing Thomas Stanley's next book, The Millionaire Mind, was largely influenced by the fact that Cotter Smith was once again the narrator.
Average Accumulation of Wealth (AAW) = (age/10) * annual income
Prodigious Accumulation of Wealth (PAW) = 2 * AAW
Under Accumulation of Wealth (UAW) = 1/2 * AAW
This book is not a strategy or "how to" like many other books in the genre, like Rich Dad, Poor Dad or Total Money Makeover. But it provides a different point of view - a statistical point of view - as to the habits and priorities of wealthy people.
good info! lots of stats and stories that all seem to say the same thing! just get the abridged version.
Truth being revealed - superb! Enjoyed every minute of it. One to keep and share widely.
"so, I guess I am on track!"
this book had a very calming effect on me specifically with regards to spending, budgeting, goals, and my heart's desire to be financially independent!
"It was worth it to finish reading, for me"
The book is amazing for the first half. After a while you notice the trends. Later it gives more and more new subjects I hadn't thought about as it pertains to wealth until your paradigm has totally shifted. And thankfully it gives advice!
"An eye opener when it comes to personal finance"
I found the book interesting and informative. I think most anyone can find useful information in this book no matter you age or income level.
"excellent and relevant"
this book has given me tremendous confidence in my past and future actions toward building wealth.
removed the myths and solidified perspectives which are meaningful, practical and effective.

Pattern recognition of amorphously shaped objects such as gas plumes, oil spills, or epidemiological spread is difficult because there is no definite shape to match. We consider detection of such amorphously shaped objects using a neighborhood model which operates on a concept of loose spatial contiguity: there is a significant probability that a pixel surrounded by the object of interest itself contains that object of interest, and boundaries tend to be smooth. These assumptions are distilled into a single-parameter prior probability model to use in a maximum a posteriori hypothesis test. The method is evaluated against synthetic data generated from hyperspectral imagery and DIRSIG simulation results. These tests indicate significant improvement on the ROC curves.

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
First lets establish what the LapDock 500 Pro isn't. It isnt a laptop or netbook computer nor a replacement for one. What it is is an accessory that allows you to utilize your phones data plan to view the internet on a large screen device with out using 'tethering' either through a legal plan or a illegal tethering activity. The LapDock 500 Pro presents the user two active viewing screens. One screen displays your phones home page(s) and the other screen views applications from the webtop. The phone view screen allows you to fully function any aspect of your phone while using the webtop screen is being also used. The webtop screen view can have multiple webtop applications open as well as multiple broswer windows open. Each of the two view windows can be expanded to over lap the other or totally enlarged to cover the entire 14" LapDock, 500 Pro screen. The LapDock 500 Pro has an internal 7 hour battery, two USB ports, a VGA out port and a RJ-45 network port to connect to a wired network. The LapDock 500 Pro can also connect to the Verizon network through 3G or 4G or any open wifi network. Utilizing the 4G Verizon network gives you a hard wired network speed experience, next best speed experience would be a wired network using the RJ-45 connector then a wifi network connection and lastly the 3G Verizon wireless network connection (which putting it bluntly sucks). The LapDock 500 Pro can be used to connect to web based storage sites for file access outside of the memory internally to the phone or an included mico SD card in the phone.Read more ›
Thought the screen is physical larger, the resolution is the same at 1366x768, I found the fonts are not rendered nearly as well on the 500 as they are on the 100 and therefore making the 500 less readable.
The mouse pad and keyboard size on the 500 is nicer that the 100; however, the left/right buttons are harder to press and must be pressed toward the center (non-functional toward the outside).
The quality of the VGA out is limited. In my case, I really did not have the need for the VGA out, camera, or ethernet and I can get by without the SD reader, so the only plus' of having the Lapdock 500 is the extend battery life, keyboard size, and screen size.
The method of holding the Droid RAZR was awkward at best. It really does not appear that it was engineered for the Droid RAZR, but rather for the Bionic or Atrix. At least with the 100 I can set the phone on the shelf behind the monitor without it dangling.
If Motorola can improve the display and put the Lapdock in to an Ultrabook or Airbook form factor (especially considering the Lapdock has very few internal components when compared to either of these) then Motorola may have a winner.
Until then, the Lapdock 500 Pro goes back today and I am returning to my Lapdock 100.
Q) What is the best way to describe "what" the Lapdock does?
A) The Lapdock is merely an extension to your Phone with a bigger keyboard and screen. Once docked your phone is essentially the same but it's easier to use for non-phone tasks.
Q) How does the internet work on the Lapdock?
A) If you're connected via a cat5 connection or via a wireless connection it will use those connections first. However, if you're not connected to either of those it will go off your phone's wireless data connection from the provider. This connection does NOT count as tethering.
Q) How responsive is your phone while using the Lapdock?
A) Equally as responsive as your phone when you're not using a lapdock. As I said, the lapdock merely becomes an extention to your phone.
Q) The description says 7Hours battery life. How long do you really get?
A) It varies based on usage. But from my experience I've seen anywhere between 7 to 12hours battery life from my Lapdock.
Q) Why not just get another computer and use that?
A) Computers are fairly heavy and it's much to easy to get distracted on full computer compared to a lapdock.Read more ›

It's nuts. They have hours and hours of webcasts going already, and they haven't even played a game yet. I just watched almost two hours of web coverage from media day on Suns.com. Here are some things that caught my eye:
Mike D'Antoni doesn't believe you can play well when you're playing just ten minutes or so a game. He is frank that he will never play a lot of guys. He will, essentially, play someone 25-plus minutes per game, or none.
Laurel D'Antoni, Mike's wife, says that after Italian teams play a game, the fans, coaches, and players all go out in the street and party with live music and drinks. In some ways, we are so behind the European way of playing basketball.
Sean Marks and Marcus Banks will be blogging from Italy, they say.
There is much talk about the new ball, and no one has anything good to say about it. Pat Burke scoffs at the league's stated reason for the new balls (the old ones didn't have uniformity of color, texture, or grip, reportedly). "Hopefully [the new ball] will alleviate the problem that wasn't there," says Burke. No one has the stones to suggest that the main reason for the new ball might be to sell more new balls. Vinnie Del Negro, who now works in the front office, actually theorizes that the Suns' fast break could be slowed by the new ball being slower through the net.
The Suns have a presenting sponsor for the first time ever, and it's a casino. Wow. Really? The NBA is OK with that? OK, then, mark your calendars. There's going to be an NBA team in Las Vegas withint three years.
Crisis in Phoenix: James Jones and Jumaine Jones. See what I'm getting at? What are they going to put on the back of those uniforms to distinguish these guys? James says back in Indianapolis he and Fred Jones were both just "Jones." Makes sense to me. Jumaine suggests the first two letters of their first names on the back. OK, Ju Jones. Whatever you say.
Eric Piatkowski is a workout maniac.

I've stayed at Mango Manor 3 times now, and I really would like to recommend it strongly. First of all, Cayman Brac is completely different from Grand Cayman. The Brac is really a peaceful place, very relaxing. Mango Manor has a very nice beach. Actually it's rocky along the water but there is a nice sandy area with a gazebo and hammocks and an easy entry point for the water. Good snorkeling there. Walk up to the concrete entry a few 100 yards up to the right and swim with the current back down. Can't get better than that!
The "manor" is a nice home-like structure. I've only seen one other guest there. It has nice amenities, nothing fancy, but very comfortable. A few doors down is the grocery, which is very convenient and well stocked (even sells lunches; you can make dinner in the Manor kitchen). I stayed there not long after the bad hurricane and all was good at the Manor and the island seems to have well-recovered; it looked like the government really helped.
This is a very relaxing and well-taken-care-of B&B on a wonderful island. Lynn and George are terrific (they have a home nearby, but don't intrude) and attentive. Have fun! Absolutely recommend.

I spend nearly all my spare time building my own cables(for friends and myself, none have ever failed). Then once done making them better. Yes I run some kimber kables as well as firewire, ar and pg but my best sound is off my custom cables. I have good details, but gotta hear who else builds cables worth more than the rest.
Who else builds their own equipment in particular "CABLES"

I mean I build all my own cables. Its just honestly a lot cheaper for me. Do they sound better, I don't know. I just think its cheaper. I build a silver cable silver from top to bottom and the same cable would have cost me 2-3x the amount I put into into it if I bought it.

I ask due to everybody striving for the most tight and clean system. It is amazing the money people will pay to plug and play. The next step is soldering the internals of monitors that contain male/female plugs. I do have software that reads the difference when digging into networks and soldering directly using digital cd sacd blue ray dvd etc...systems it is very useful to solder our connections as far as the internals of amps to speakers.
Onto homemade cables I guarantee you are getting more from your radio than the guy with the same setup. I began this thread to see what steps people are doing to make their a/v systems better. I may spend days building identical(8 total when bi to 12 to tri-wire)cables to biwire monitors then to only spend more time to try to make them better. It is part of audiophile lifestyle and I have had $800cables fail. Not from fatigue of use, just simple negligence at the manufacturer. And they are guaranteed a lifetime normally although my personal cables I take every moment to make them better than what I can buy which mostly consist of materials and time.
Please anybody share your experience with cables from mic/xlr to power and or speaker etc . . .

ESF Harriers Off and Running this Fall
ESF fields first cross country teams
SYRACUSE The SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) is launching new intercollegiate club teams in mens and womens cross country running this fall.
ESF has hired Jim Goulet, an ESF alumnus and the former head coach for cross country and track at C.W. Baker High School in Baldwinsville, N.Y., as head coach of the teams. John View, director of financial aid at ESF, will serve as the assistant coach.
Recruitment of student athletes has begun, including communication with incoming freshmen and current ESF students who might be interested in the sport.
Thirty-one men and women have signed up, not counting incoming freshmen, said Goulet. They seem very excited.
The teams will compete as a club sport while the college begins a process of developing a regular intercollegiate program.
The competition schedule for fall 2009 is being developed, and it is anticipated that the mens and womens teams will compete in several meets against Division III (non-scholarship) level college programs in central and western New York.
Well have a similar schedule to most SUNYs, said Goulet, who expects the teams will compete at invitationals at SUNY Oswego, SUNY Geneseo, Hobart and William Smith, Roberts Wesleyan, and Nazareth colleges.
ESF also offers intercollegiate club sports programs in mens and womens soccer, golf, and traditional timber sports.
Goulet is a 1972 graduate of ESFs resources management program. He has been an active member of the ESF community, including serving on the colleges Alumni Board.

Daily routine Lyrics by RZA
Daily routine by RZA
featuring Ghostface Killah Islord Ndira
Royal Fam Jamie Sommers
Aiyyo let me tell y'all niggaz somethin
One thing let me tell y'all niggaz somethin
I don't give a flyin f**k about
none of y'all niggaz out here
None of y'all niggaz out here
Cause you ain't none of my motherf**kin comrades
I don't give a flyin f**k what?
You want it? Bring it son bring it son
Bring it, yo, check it on out
Yo, lyrically, I got all y'all niggaz under my wing
Cause I bring terror throughout this rap era
Like them Muslim cats, who don't give a f**k
about blowin this rock, off the map
where Mayor Guiliani rest at, so let me get that
microphone up off of you, cause it's
definitely not meant for you to have it in your palm
To try to rock the crowd
Puttin it all on to stay calm
You waited for the God Islord to drop the bomb
and swarm the stage about a hundred fat
with lyrical material that's all that
Like a two point five carat clustered jew-el
Rock like Patti La-Belle
Cause everything is real kid, you dead up
Dissect the true kids gettin set up
for a car/Jeep heist, it ain't nice
As we ran up in the crib and stuck the kid
and smacked the wife, cause she, had on two chains
with a tray full of ice in em
But that's how it goes down
When you livin in the Cold World
[Royal Fam]
Cold World, what?
Yo, I spit flames thermonuclear type
Ignite mics, blow up U.S.A. satellites
Insane Unabomber, my whole Fam lace golden armor
Royal calmer, black Queen black Madonna
The missing link be the big lips on the Sphinx
Intelligent instincts
I say knowledge is the foundation
when I move in the L's formation, against Hell's nation
Bobby Digital cybertech test microcheck
High bi-as, record the levels
Anti for devils.. anti for devils
[Ndira] speaking in a foreign language
eventually says
"I wanna be Digital Bobby
Bobby Digital.. RZA ? Bobby, Bobby Digital"
[Bobby Digital]
All you an*log cats from weak tracks, and weak raps
and weak video clips and weak stacks
Beatin b**ches with weak lawyers, and weak acts
and weak staffs, born life couldn't copyright
with weak math, come get a dose, of the strong
coconuts splittin, all you chocolate deluxe butter alms
French buttercups, probably wanna see Bobby in handcuffs
with the toes in my mouth
Stand up or rape me, rotate auto-locate me
In the center solar
Corner block Hip-Hop now expand to the polar
Fuzzy low short frequency
Circuit breakers, try to take
us on illusionary rides to the future
Polygram graphic rap actors, flash ya
Cash and jewelry like bus passes
That's why your ass got stuck up
so Wake the f**k Up or get smoked
an*log rhymes hoes are like groupies we f**ked
Took for derelict, Sales are too Soupy
Better get the Bobby Digital movie!
[Ghostface Killah]
Tarantula, that groove season
Newlywed of rap, which G you believe in?
Rally back, twist a half a man arm off
Late night, nearly happy standoff
How boldly blinded by Bobby crossthievin van diva
Lever 2000 mic talk
Might bolt to match, pinch me in the eve
Carved perfectly from God
Manufactured through the eye, came Puma dash
I snares Dumar, Nicolas, half a face, Cage
Half a coke Dutch sprinkle sage
Bounce to Huey crib yo and got laid
Straight off the ground y'all word up
.. Bad b**ch
[Jamie Sommers]
Yo, yo
Yo my tapdance sword splash
Yo.. my nigga Dix'll leave you whiplashed, feel the cash
Pussy worth a key a stash, bloodbath
Hard to walk the righteous path
Flavor for life into death
This berry tart your ginger
Ooh she mad tender, an*log surrender

DEFINITION of 'Relocation Mortgage - Relo'
A type of mortgage that is designed for relocating/transferring employees. Corporations sometime make special mortgages available for relocating employees in an effort to make the moving process easier and more economical. Oftentimes, there are bonuses for the employee, such as the company paying the closing costs. Some mortgage companies specialize in offering relo mortgages.
BREAKING DOWN 'Relocation Mortgage - Relo'
Historical data shows that employees who relocate for their jobs are likely to relocate repeatedly at predictable time intervals; therefore, relo mortgages have more predictable prepayment characteristics than non-relo mortgages. Because the prepayment characteristics of any mortgage-backed security (MBS) are very important to its valuation by traders, the more predictable prepayment characteristics of MBSs backed by relo mortgages allow relo MBSs to trade at a premium relative to other MBSs.

The paper presents the Intelligent Control System Laboratory's (ICSL) Cooperative Autonomous Mobile Robot technologies and their application to intelligent vehicles for cities. The deployed decision and control algorithms made the road-scaled vehicles capable of undertaking cooperative autonomous maneuvers. Because the focus of ICSL's research is in decision and control algorithms, it is therefore reasonable to consider replacing or upgrading the sensors used with more recent road sensory concepts as produced by other research groups. While substantial progress has been made, there are still some issues that need to be addressed such as: decision and control algorithms for navigating roundabouts, real-time integration of all data, and decision-making algorithms to enable intelligent vehicles to choose the driving maneuver as they go. With continued research, it is feasible that cooperative autonomous vehicles will coexist alongside human drivers in the not-too-distant future.

Although each organization is unique and has unique requirements, common steps are
involved in developing a good accessible technology plan. Following is a proven
five-step plan used in many technology development plans that has simply been applied
to accessible technology. Many of the themes described here are based on the steps
in Susan Conway's and Char Sligar's book Unlocking Knowledge Assets. (Conway, Sligar
Thinking through your strategy and requirements will reduce costs and increase efficiency—reducing
false-starts, ensuring compatibility with existing technology, and accurately addressing
your organization's unique situation and needs.
The five steps are:
In this important first step, you describe how accessible technology fits within
your organization—specifically, how it fits with your business and competitive strategies,
objectives, and measures of success. This information will help you integrate accessible
technology into your business plan and ensure that your accessible technology strategy
is aligned with your business needs. What you produce in this first step provides
the framework for the rest of the planning process.
An accessible technology strategy should both stand alone and reinforce your organization's
overall technology plan. The two plans should be complementary. If your organization
has an overall technology plan, review that plan as you begin outlining your accessible
technology strategy to make sure there are no conflicts and to strengthen how these
two plans can work together.
An accessible technology strategy should include the following elements:
Vision statement. Create a unique vision statement that defines
the role of accessible technology in your organization and how it will support the
organization's overall vision of accessible technology objectives. If your organization's
overall vision statement already provides the proper foundation for creating accessible
technology objectives, restate that vision statement. This was the case for UnumProvident,
whose vision statement reads, "Be the number one provider of services that help
our employees and our customer's employees get back to work when they become injured
or ill."
Objectives. Define success metrics and clarify the specifics of
the vision. Using the vision statement, create accessible technology objectives
that also align with business objectives. You'll use these objectives to measure
success in Step 5. For example, RBC Financial Group estimates that 40 percent or more of Canadians have
trouble using financial services because of disabilities such as mobility impairments
or literacy skills. In order to be a leading financial institute in Canada, RBC
Financial Group wanted to improve the accessibility of its branches to ensure it
was reaching these customers. Therefore, a sample business objective for the bank
might be, "Ensure that 90 percent of branches are accessible to customers with disabilities
such as mobility impairments or low literacy."
Expenses and budget. Clarify how expenses will be covered and describe
funding sources. For example, determine which expenses are part of the overall technology
purchases of the organization versus which expenses should be part of a separate
budget that might be used only for assistive technology products. Some organizations
choose to have all assistive technology product purchases come out of a centralized
accommodation budget, whereas other organizations deduct these expenses from the
individual technology budgets of each department. It is important to clarify these
budget decisions at the outset and to allocate funds appropriately.
Ownership and next steps. Clarify responsibilities and plan execution.
For example, outline who or which groups will be responsible for completing the
next steps of the plan, which are to identify requirements (Step 2);
design, develop, and purchase (Step 3); implement and train
(Step 4); and maintain technology and continue learning (Step 5). This will require strong partnerships among various
groups. One technique is to form a council or committee that meets regularly to
ensure that the plan is moving forward and that the next steps and responsibilities
are clear. You might even find it helpful to assign a person within the organization
to project manage the accessible technology plan. RBC Financial Group developed
such a position called the Accessible Technology Consultant. Responsibilities of
this position include educating IT staff about the business value of accessibility,
selecting assistive technology products, and advocating employee accessibility needs.
Whichever unique approach your organization takes, two elements are critical to
success: support from senior management and alignment with business objectives and
the organization-wide technology plan.
As with any strategic planning process, the leaders and senior management in your
organization must clearly understand the business value of accessible technology.
Only then can they stand behind the plan, be spokespersons for the strategy, and
help ensure support from other key stakeholders.
It is important to gain the support of those responsible for executing the plan
and other key stakeholders including those who manage the budget. Although some
resistance is normal with any change or new idea that has not yet been implemented,
one key to success is ensuring that stakeholders fully understand and embrace the
strategy because these stakeholders will be responsible for carrying out the next
four steps.
With a number of steering committees that oversee the use of technologies within
the bank, RBC Financial Group also created an accessible technology committee headed
by its Accessible Technology Consultant. This provided a natural way for the accessible
technology strategy to be integrated with the rest of the technology planning. Each
committee head advocates for his or her technology area when evaluating new products,
testing, and doing long-term planning. This process ensures that key stakeholders
are more informed about the importance of accessible technology when making decisions.
In this step, the owners and stakeholders identified in the accessible technology
strategy are asked to do a needs assessment, evaluate the current state of technology,
and create success measures.
The needs assessment involves outlining the accessibility requirements from the
perspectives of employees, your organization's processes, and current technology.
Ideally, you should integrate the requirements you outline in the needs assessment
with your organization's existing technology plan so that technology evaluations,
purchase decisions, and development of new technology will take accessibility needs
into consideration.
Also in this step, it is important to gather information about the current state
of technology and prioritize needs if your current technology is out of date. In
addition, at this stage you determine success measures to help your organization
clearly evaluate and measure results. The outcome of this step is a document that
includes a comprehensive set of accessibility requirements and measures of success
that owners can use to execute the design, development, and implementation steps.
The needs assessment task identifies the organization-wide accessibility needs,
which include specifying collaboration and communication needs among all employees "regardless
of abilities" and identifying the assistive technology needs of individuals with
specific disabilities. Even if your organization does not currently employ people
with visible disabilities, you should still define your accessibility requirements.
In the future, you might find much greater use and desire for accessible technology
than is initially apparent. A proactive accessible technology plan can offer:
As part of your needs assessment, list the specific accessibility needs employees
have, the processes in your organization, and the technologies you want to support.
Ask how your employees and customers use technology. For example, if most employees
in your organization need to use a sales data entry application, that application
needs to work well with a variety of different assistive technology products. That
way, an employee who is blind, for example, can access the application with a screen
reader and keyboard (rather than a mouse), and an employee who has a mobility impairment
can access the application with voice recognition software.
To gather your list of requirements, consider conducting surveys of employees. During
this process it might also prove helpful to provide lists of possible needs or requirements
because many individuals won't understand what you mean if you simply ask them to
list their accessibility needs.
More Info
Determining Your Organization's Assistive
Technology Requirements, includes a sample list of accessibility requirements.
As part of identifying requirements, it is important to describe your current technology
and compare it to the information gathered in your needs assessment. This evaluation
will help establish priorities and show where changes can have the greatest impact.
Plan to evaluate the following:
As part of your technology evaluation, ask the following questions about your current
At the end of this evaluation, you should have an understanding of the current state
of your technology as measured against needs.
Leveraging Legacy Technology
Most organizations will want to take advantage of the improved accessibility in
the most recent releases of products including
Windows and Microsoft Office. But many organizations are not able to upgrade
every employee simultaneously to the latest operating system and software, so they
need to plan for scalable solutions.
In recent years, software and operating system upgrades have become more streamlined,
and today, employees using different versions of products can continue to collaborate
effectively. For example, if the majority of employees in an organization use an
old version of Windows, and an employee develops a disability that requires
the use of a screen reader that works best on the most recent version of Windows,
that employee can be upgraded to the latest version of Windows and still effectively
work with his coworkers. Or, if an employee simply needs to change his or her font
settings and sound options,
Windows provides these accessibility
Each organization needs to set its own priorities and, with the help of an accessible
technology consultant, make the most of the accessibility in legacy technology.
Compare Accessibility Features in Various
Versions of Windows. This chart shows you the accessibility options available
in different versions of Windows.
At this point in the process, you should create success measures based on the objectives
outlined in Step 1 and the baseline information gathered in
the needs assessment and evaluation of current technology. In
5, you'll use these success measures to evaluate progress and highlight
areas of improvement.
Examples of success measures include
In this third step, the focus is on designing and developing the technology based
on the accessibility requirements outlined in Step 2. This
step includes identifying and purchasing accessible technology and assistive technology
products, updating internal technology systems to be more accessible, and determining
how to make use of legacy systems.
The standard operating system and office productivity software used by your organization
is the foundation for accessible and assistive technology. Therefore, it is critical
that the operating system and office productivity software be accessible.
Choose products that allow employees to customize the system to their preferences
as well as those products that address the requirements outlined in the needs assessment.
Be sure that the operating system and all office productivity software chosen are
compatible with a wide variety of assistive technology products for specific disabilities.
To check compatibility, contact assistive technology manufacturers to learn if products
are compatible and if settings can be adjusted to optimize compatibility.
Learn about and search for assistive technology products.
An Accessible Operating System
Windows includes
built-in accessibility settings and programs that make it easier for people
to see, hear, and use their computers. Microsoft has worked to better understand the needs of people who experience a wide range of physical challenges that can impact their computer use. The accessibility settings and programs in Windows are particularly helpful to people who have visual difficulties, hearing loss, pain in their hands or arms, or reasoning and cognitive issues.
Windows offers a high level of accessibility for specific visual, hearing, mobility, learning, and language needs. Built-in accessibility tools include Magnifier, Narrator, and On-Screen Keyboard. You can also choose a high contrast color scheme and numerous other options to personalize your computing experience. A wide range of assistive technology products are also compatible with Windows.
An Accessible Office Productivity Suite
Microsoft Office makes it easier to create accessible documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with rich content.
An Accessible Browser
Internet Explorer includes accessibility settings to help all users, including those with disabilities, move around the Internet easier, see webpages more clearly, and access information more quickly.
Many employees with disabilities need to use assistive technology products to fully
access their computers. In the next two sections, we discuss two approaches to providing
assistive technology to employees as well as how the partnership between human resources
(HR), employees, managers, and assistive technology experts might work.
Two Approaches to Selecting Assistive Technology
Organizations generally take one of two approaches to identify and provide employees
with assistive technology. One approach is to custom select assistive technology
product(s) for each employee with a need. Another approach is to provide an approved
list of assistive technology products that are tested, evaluated, and selected as
the standard assistive technology products for an organization. Each approach has
its own advantages and challenges.
Microsoft Corporation does not have a standardized list of assistive technology
products. Instead, employees partner with their manager, a human resources (HR)
representative, and an assistive technology consultant to identify the appropriate
assistive technology products for their business and personal accessibility needs.
For Microsoft, this makes sense because, as a technology company, it has a broader
mission to ensure that technology works for everyone using all types of assistive
technology products.
For organizations such as RBC Financial Group, a standard list of assistive technology
products is more efficient because the assistive technology products are evaluated
and tested to ensure that they work properly with RBC Financial Group's systems. This makes providing technical support easier
and getting new employees up to speed faster.
Whether your organization provides a standard list of selected assistive technology
products or not, it is still important to accurately identify which type of product
works best for an individual's needs and to partner with HR and
assistive technology experts to work through the process of selecting assistive
Partnering with Human Resources and Assistive Technology Experts
The need for accommodation arises for various reasons. Employers often ask new employees
when they are hired if they need any accommodation. For existing employees, when
new accommodation needs arise, an HR representative is often one of the first to
know. This makes HR a pivotal resource for learning about accommodation needs of
HR representatives are at the forefront for identifying employees who will benefit
from accessible technology. Because accessible technology is part of providing accommodation
and involves health and privacy issues, it is important to consult with HR and an
assistive technology consultant to identify and select assistive technology for
HR representatives usually manage worker compensation claims, ergonomics evaluations,
and accident reports. They should be contacted directly by employees and managers
with inquiries about accessibility. An accident report or even a change in an employee's
productivity might be a sign of a need for accommodation. HR representatives can
be trained to identify these signs.
Do not assume that individuals who are technology experts are also knowledgeable
about accessible and assistive technology.
Expert consultants
who understand disabilities and the latest assistive technology products
can provide valuable guidance to organizations. If your organization is large, it
might be beneficial to develop one of your own IT professionals into an accessibility
expert. In this way, you can avoid relying on outside consultation if you prefer.
See Consultants and Resources for more information about
how to find accessible technology consultants in your area or to find training.
In order to accurately identify an individual's needs and provide insight into assistive
technology, a strong partnership needs to be formed between the employee, the manager,
a human resources representative, and a consultant.
See Identifying the Right Assistive Technology,
for two examples of tools used by organizations to select technology for employees.
Clarify the roles and responsibilities in this partnership for a better understanding
of who makes decisions and how the partnership will work. The following five lists
are a sample of how one organization outlines this partnership.
HR Representative
Assistive Technology Consultant
Medical and Rehabilitation Recommendations
Ergonomics Evaluations and Accessible Technology Recommendations
A number of organizations, including Microsoft, train their ergonomics specialists
to look for situations in which accessible technology will benefit an employee.
At Microsoft, all employees can request an ergonomics evaluation, which involves
a 30-minute one-on-one consultation with an ergonomics specialist who works in the
HR department. This HR representative's role in this case might be as simple as
educating employees about changing their font sizes or using different mouse devices,
or it might involve a discussion about assistive technology. According to Ellen
Meyer, an HR lead at Microsoft Corporation, "Employees who would benefit from accessible
technology have been identified through an ergonomics evaluation. Through a coordinated
process of review, implementation, and education, these technologies are in place.
Ergonomics and accessible technology go hand in hand, so it makes sense for Microsoft
to combine the two."
As part of the design and development step, your organization will need to evaluate,
and possibly update, internal systems based on requirements and success measures
outlined in Step 2. Integrating the task of checking for accessibility criteria
into the update and development process for all your internal systems will help
eliminate the need for reengineering later.
For example, a requirement identified in Step 2 might be to provide access to a
legacy sales application for employees who are blind. This step determines how you
will accomplish that requirement. One approach might be to use a tool that your
IT professionals develop to allow access by a screen reader. Other approaches might
be to change settings on existing software or acquire another product that makes
access possible.
For new systems that are currently being planned, evaluate accessibility needs and
requirements and make necessary changes in the design to ensure that your new systems
are accessible. To do this, it is necessary to modify design specifications and
add accessibility testing into test plans. For example, design specifications can
be modified to include keyboard access for all features. Similarly, test cases can
be modified or added to test without a mouse to ensure that keyboard access is fully
For existing systems, evaluate and measure the system against the accessibility
needs and requirements. Next, assess the impact based on systems used by the most
people, identify the frequency the system is used, and determine if there is an
alternative that is accessible. (See the sample list of technology assessment questions
Determining Your Organization's Assistive
Technology Requirements.) Once you've analyzed the impact, prioritize the
systems that must be updated for better accessibility. For those that are a lower
priority, document the issues and make them requirements for the next scheduled
update of the system.
After you have developed, purchased, and updated technology, it is time to deploy
technology, and train employees how to use it. This step involves setting up the
systems, communicating the change to your organization, and providing training.
It is important to align these efforts with the original strategy and success measures
to make sure you are on target as the implementation stage unfolds.
The implementation step includes a range of projects such as setting up one computer
for a single employee with a disability who is using a new assistive technology
product, launching a more accessible intranet site, and deploying a new operating
system and office productivity suite across the entire organization.
Deploying Microsoft Products and Adjusting Accessibility Options
For organizations that choose Microsoft products,
Microsoft TechNet is a central information and community resource for IT
professionals and is one source of assistance. TechNet is designed to meet the technical
information needs of anyone who plans, evaluates, deploys, maintains, or supports
Microsoft business products.
Microsoft TechNet information is available either online or through the Microsoft
TechNet CD/DVD Subscription service. The subscription saves time and increases productivity
by providing 12 monthly issues with the latest technical information, service packs,
resource kits, tools, utilities, Microsoft Knowledge Base articles, and other information
useful for IT professionals.
Once the business products are set up, accessibility options in the products need
to be adjusted for people with accessibility needs. Information about accessibility
features and options is available in select resource kits available on Microsoft
TechNet as well as on the Microsoft Accessibility website. See
Accessibility Tutorials and
Guides by Impairment. Although these materials were originally written
for trainers and users with disabilities, IT professionals who are new to accessibility
might find these resources helpful.
Deploying Assistive Technology Products
IT professionals within an organization will likely be the ones called upon to help
individuals set up new assistive technology products. Most importantly, whoever
helps set up assistive technology should first contact the assistive technology
manufacturer to check compatibility with the operating systems and applications
that will be running with the assistive technology product. The assistive technology
manufacturer should also provide information about settings that need to be adjusted
to optimize compatibility.
Deploying Your Internal Systems
As identified in the accessible technology plan, you'll need to roll out any modified
or new internal systems. These systems might be newly accessible updated applications
that should be rolled out to all employees, or add-ons or new applications for a
specific employee's access needs.
Just providing accessible technology doesn't mean employees will automatically know
about new accessibility options or how to use them. As part of this step, educate
and train employees on how to make full use of the accessible technology available
to them. Accessible technology benefits everyone, so be sure to educate everyone
about the availability of accessible technology, not just those with disabilities.
Although some organizations choose to offer classroom style training, another option
is to provide self-paced training materials on intranet sites. This is an inexpensive
and efficient option.
Microsoft publishes a variety of training resources helpful to trainers, and IT
professionals and people with disabilities. The next two sections highlight specific
training resources available to help customize a computer for people with disabilities
and people with accessibility needs.
Accessibility Tutorials
Microsoft provides
accessibility tutorials to introduce computer users to the most commonly used accessibility features in
Microsoft products and to show ways to adjust the accessibility options
to best meet their needs.
Guides by Impairment
Microsoft produces a series of Guides by Impairment
that organize information
into helpful resources by each specific type of impairment. Each guide provides
a list of assistive technology and links to tutorials that can be used
to customize computers to accommodate an individual with a specific impairment.
Guides are available for:
The last step in the accessibility technology planning process involves increasing
awareness and sustaining your accessible technology strategy. In this step, you
promote the accessible technology vision statement in your organization, support
employees' use of the technology, and evaluate the success. This ongoing step is
critical—accessible technology is a fundamental part of your business, and true
success is measured by how well your employees can collaborate and communicate with
one another and how productive individuals will be. It is important that your effort
does not result in a big launch with little follow-up. The outcome of this step
is continued feedback and synergy that will help you improve your accessible technology
strategy over time and make accessibility part of your organization's culture.
Successfully building and implementing an accessibility technology strategy isn't
the end of the work. A measure of success for the strategy is having high awareness
among employees that accessible technology is available and for employees to understand
where to go for information. Another measure of success is for all employees to
accept accessibility as a part of the business culture.
Although the saying, "If you build it, they will come," might have worked for Kevin
Costner's character in Field of Dreams, your organization will likely need to increase
awareness through various communication strategies. The following sections contain
techniques that many organizations use to educate their employees about the availability
of accessible technology.
Educate HR and Managers First
It is important that HR representatives and managers be aware of the accessible
technology your organization provides, and that they know whom to contact for information.
Consider educating your HR representatives first, and then asking HR to educate
managers about the accessible technology. Be sure to hold this meeting or training
session for human resource representatives and managers first, so when the program
is rolled out to employees, they know where to get more information. Reeducate your
HR and management staff periodically at regularly scheduled management and HR-sponsored
training sessions.
Educate New Employees at Employee Orientation
Most organizations have some form of orientation for new employees. This is an ideal
opportunity to provide information about the availability of accessible technology.
Because many people might not even know what accessibility means or what accessible
technology can do for them, you might sponsor a presentation by an expert in this
area that explains accessible technology and where to go for more information. However,
if resources are tight, a simple handout that explains that accessible technology
is available and provides a confidential contact person will suffice.
Educate Current Employees Through Newsletters, Email, and Websites
Just because an employee is already on the job and hasn't notified you about his
or her accessibility needs, it doesn't mean there are none. Many people do not self-identify
as having an impairment, or they might not realize the accommodations available
to them. Employees' needs change as they age or if they are involved in an accident.
Be sure to educate all employees about the availability of accessible technology
through employee newsletters and flyers, email, and websites that explain employee
benefits and ergonomics resources. Plan ongoing communication sessions. Although
it might seem like the communication is redundant at times, an employee who recently
had an accident would welcome a reminder about the assistance that is available.
Once accessible technology is up and running, it is important to keep the gears
oiled and running smoothly. Here are a few ideas on how to provide support:
To evaluate success and identify areas of improvement, review the original success
measures created in Step 2 and evaluate progress against those original success
measures. Many organizations gather data through follow-up surveys and interviews
of employees, managers, and IT professionals.
Because integrating accessible technology is a long-term goal, recognize and reward
success and follow through on feedback received by outlining next steps and areas
of improvement, assigning owners to follow through on the next steps, and determining
when you will next evaluate success.
There are many websites and other resources available to help you learn more before
implementing your accessible technology plan. As mentioned earlier, seeking consultation
from an expert in the field is well worth the investment. This section contains
more information on consultants and resources.
See also these additional resources
for information about assistive technology products and services for people with
disabilities, impairments, and difficulties.
Finding Consultants
Microsoft Accessibility Resource Centers provide
experts on computer technology and accessibility. These centers provide expert
consultation on assistive technology and accessibility built into Microsoft. Each
center is equipped with video demonstrations and accessibility tutorials that show
you how to make computing easier, more convenient, and more comfortable.
The Alliance for Technology
Access has a network of community-based resource centers, developers and
vendors, affiliates, and associates dedicated to providing information and support
services to people with disabilities and increasing their use of standard, assistive,
and information technologies. Find a center in your local area to visit and learn
more, or ask for recommendations for local consultants.
The National Business & Disability
Council (NBDC) provides a full range of services to assist corporations
in successfully integrating people with disabilities into the workplace and marketplace.
The NBDC offers services such as customized training and support, informational
mailings, and information hotline, and job postings.
The Sierra Group, Inc.
is a rehabilitation engineering consulting firm that works with organizations, educators,
individuals, and rehabilitation professionals in the area of assistive technology
to help increase employability of people with disabilities. Sierra Group consultants
evaluate the needs of clients, compare those needs with the diverse talents of individuals
with disabilities, and integrate systems and procedures that create successful employment
for all.
Although it is possible to develop and implement an accessible technology plan on
a case-by-case basis, by using the strategic planning steps outlined here, you will
avoid false-starts, decrease costs, and provide higher employee and customer satisfaction.
By outlining your vision and objectives first, and then assigning owners to carry out
the implementation steps and measure progress, you will gain a far greater level
of success that positively impacts many more people in your organization.
