Blindness is no respecter of persons. It strikes without regard to race, religion, sex or nationality. In the United States, more than 25 million people age 18 and older are blind or have severe visual impairments that cause them to make adjustments in their careers and everyday living situations. The mission of World Services for the Blind (WSB) is to empower blind or visually impaired adults in the United States and around the world to achieve sustainable independence.

WSB was founded by Roy Kumpe in 1947 to serve blind or visually impaired people who needed to learn independent living skills or job training skills tailored to the special requirements of their individual visual impairments. The goal of WSB then, and today, is to empower blind or visually impaired adults to achieve sustainable independence through life skills, career training and community access. Since its birth, WSB has served more than 13,000 people from all 50 states and 58 countries.

Please join in supporting World Services for the Blind through your attendance at this luncheon on Wednesday, November 18, 11:30AM at the DoubleTree Hotel. For ticket information call them at 501.664.7100.

Prepping to skype with Ed Berliner, host of Newsmax TV’s “The Hard Line”

Late yesterday Emmy-winning Ed Berliner, host of Newsmax TV’s The Hard Line news talk show, invited me to weigh in on privacy and security.  Ed is a seasoned talking head, and the topic was the breaking news about the Office of Personnel Management’s announcement late yesterday afternoon that there had been a data breach in APRIL. Potentially 4 million people had their personally identifiable information compromised in this latest hack. For more on the topic click this link.

I have asked time and again, how can the Federal Government say “we have the tools to fight the hackers if we will just use” them when their own computers are being compromised at the Office of Personnel Management just this week? We need cyber security leadership from somewhere. If we don’t do something to beef up security of the internet, this will continue to happen and the sky is the limit on what these data bad guys can and will do.

I was the first guest on The Hard Line discussing this topic…if you would like to take a look click here to see the segment from June 4th. Thanks to Ed Berliner for the opportunity.
