Dang! Yet another interview, like Jim's last fall, that will be
auditory-only based and I (and who knows how many others who don't say
anything) can't access. Chat rooms inaccessible, bummer but personally
accepted. Info interviews though, that bothers me personally that I cannot
access them. Suppose BS blew a few bucks for real time captioner right then,
or cheaper, paid a transciptionist next day who would then transcribe the
interviews and BS then put them in accessible formats? Hmm??? I'm feeling
very left out and unconsidered, both for myself and for other volunteers who
haven't said anything but are also unable to discriminate speech either due
to hearing loss or language processing disorders, or whatever.
Maybe anyone who supports this idea could chime in?

Books and Beyond Interviews Dave Lieber Wednesday, January 9, 2008>
What is it like to make a living writing about the wrongdoing of big
corporations or our very government itself? How does a columnist go
about verifying that facts he has found are true? How much time goes
in to writing a column and does it vary and why? Where do ideas come
from?
If you have ever wondered about any of these things, our next Books and
Beyond will answer those questions and much more. Our guest, Dave
Lieber, is a multifaceted individual and wears a number of hats. He is
a columnist, motivational speaker and co-founder of Summer Santa
Inc., a charity helpful to children in north Texas. He was the 2002
recipient of the Will Rogers Humanitarian award, and so much more.
What part does ethics play in journalism? What can columnists writing
today do to support up and coming writers? What is a video columnist?
How can we best help children develop potential within themselves that
will maximize their success tomorrow.
Dave lieber is a dynamic speaker who will inspire you with stimulating
stories.
Here is a short biography and information about where you can find out
more about him and his work on the web.
For nearly 30 years, Dave Lieber has used his storytelling skills to
bring about positive changes. His stories of wrongdoing and
right-doing in newspapers and magazines have led to countless changes
