In the book, John Ahlquist and Margaret Levi systematically compare and document eighty years of union social activism by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) in the United States and the Waterside Workers Federation (WWF) in Australia. They compare the ILWU and WWF to the Teamsters and the International Longshoremen's Association, two American transport industry labor unions that actively discouraged the pursuit of political causes unrelated to their own economic interests.

Biographical Sketch: Martha Lee Dickson, though currently living in Pace, Florida, was a long-time resident of Gordon, Houston County, Alabama. In 1999 she self-published a history entitled, Gordon, Alabama: Pioneer Riverboat Town; Southern Terminus of Alabama's Chattahoochee River Trace. In 2007 she began a second major project, photographing and gathering information on wooden churches in Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi (bounded irregularly from Tampa through Birmingham to Jackson). A portion of her research results are (in 2010) in negotiations for publication tentatively entitled, Wooden Churches of the Deep South.

Darren Burton, Mark Uslan, Karla Schnell, and Craig Swisher of AFB's Technology and Employment Center in Huntington, West Virginia (AFB TECH), present Part 2 of an evaluation of top-of-the-line cell phones. In May, AccessWorld presented an evaluation of the Audiovox CDM9500 phone. This month, we present similar reports on products from Motorola, Sanyo, and Sony-Ericsson. Evaluation criteria included tactile identification of keys, the ability to navigate menus, presence of auditory or vibratory feedback and the readability of the visual display for people with low vision. Find out the sad details about the inaccessibility of these phones, and which one we reluctantly chose as best. Caesar Eghtesadi, Ph.D., president of Tech for All Inc., a technology accessibility consulting firm, presents some options for more accessible cell phones in the near future.

Dr. James A. Kutsch, Jr., vice president of technology for a global leader in outsourced customer service and billing, writes about the rise in popularity of electric ranges with flat cooking surfaces and electric ovens with digital controls. He found that almost all the electric ranges in new homes and on showroom floors were flat-surface cooktop models. Kutsch describes his encounters with salespeople and cooks up some potential accessibility solutions.

To begin the innovation process, I came up with one idea, after consulting with a friend who is a mechanical engineer specializing in ceramics, that just might work. Start with six or eight ceramic discs about the size of small shirt buttons. Using heat-resistant adhesive, you can glue these discs evenly around the painted circle that outlines the heating element. Now, you can correctly place the pot or pan on the cook surface by centering it within these raised discs. Even if the pan slides around during cooking, it will still remain within the circle. Furthermore, if the pan was moved carefully from side to side and front to back, it could be fairly accurately centered within the designated heated area. The ceramic locator discs could be applied by the installer or by a sighted family member or friend.

Consider, for example, a hands-free phone that would dial as soon as you spoke to it; a preprogrammable phone that you could leave with someone who needed to call you personally and that would make the call immediately when opened; or, my favorite, a phone with a "talk" feature that, when activated, would speak the function of every key pressed. Using an approach that Vanderheiden called "enhanced and extended usability," the center is pursuing development of phones with louder volume, larger screens, and more easily manipulated buttons.

On what was intended to be a much smaller scale, Dancing Dots president Bill McCann organized a kind of jam session/talent show on Friday night that featured blind musicians. Word spread, and the resulting event spilled into three large dining rooms and included a cash bar and even dancing.

This article looks at three other top cell phones produced by leading manufacturers: the Motorola T720, the Sanyo 5300, and the Sony-Ericsson T68i. These manufacturers were chosen for this evaluation because they are all large, well-known companies with the resources to make cell phones more accessible. In addition, the phones are all recent entries to the market and feature many of the new innovations found in today's cell phones, such as web browsing, color displays, and voice dialing. We will also revisit the Audiovox 9500 to see how it compares with these three phones. In addition, a sidebar accompanying this evaluation provides some insight into the future of cell phone accessibility.

The Sony-Ericsson has no visual or nonvisual icon indicating whether the phone is set to ringing versus vibrating mode. Checking or changing this status is done via the menu system, so it is inaccessible. A visual message indicates this status on the Sanyo, and the phone will also vibrate briefly when it is turned on to indicate that it is in vibrate mode. However, changing the mode from ringer to vibrate is done with the menus, so it cannot be done without sighted assistance. On the other hand, this feature can be accessed both visually and nonvisually on the Motorola and Audiovox phones. Both phones have small visual indications. The Motorola has two buttons on the left side panel; the top button increases the volume, and the bottom one decreases it. Pressing the bottom button once more past the lowest volume setting puts the phone into vibrate mode, and the phone vibrates briefly to confirm that it is in that mode. With the Audiovox, the user simply presses and holds the Star (*) key to toggle between ringer and vibrate modes, and there is a vibratory indication when the phone switches to vibrate mode.

The ringer volume control is inaccessible on the Audiovox and Sony-Ericsson because it is controlled via the menu systems. On the Sanyo, it is controlled both via the inaccessible menu system and with two buttons on the right side panel. Although pressing the buttons increases and decreases the volume, there is no nonvisual indication of the level to which the volume has been adjusted. While the Motorola's volume can be adjusted by using its inaccessible menus, it can also be adjusted easily with the side panel buttons mentioned earlier. Pressing one button to increase or decrease the volume produces both a ring to indicate the new volume level and an on-screen level indicator, so it is accessible. 2ff7e9595c
