Ouch! Bruesewitz OK after taking another hit
Madison – Mike Bruesewitz's season of pain continued Thursday.
Wisconsin fans can relax. Bruesewitz, who suffered a gruesome right-leg injury in October and suffered a concussion last month, did not go down because of another injury Thursday.
However, the senior forward missed a few minutes of practice after taking a fastball to the groin, courtesy of teammate Duje Dukan.
Dukan tried to save the ball from going out of bounds and threw it back in play toward Bruesewitz.
Bruesewitz, standing near the baseline, had no time to react and fell to the court after absorbing the hit.
"That was not fun," Bruesewitz said after practice. "I knew it was going to hurt. It didn't hurt right away.
"I looked up and I said: 'This is going to be really painful.' "
It was.
As Bruesewitz was down on all fours off the court, UW coach Bo Ryan tried to lighten the mood.
With UW set to host Illinois on Saturday, the scout team was wearing blue jersey tops Thursday.
Ryan surveyed the situation and yelled out: blue ball.
The grin on Ryan's face, and on the faces of his players, was priceless.
"I couldn't resist," Ryan said.
Bruesewitz didn't hear Ryan's comment and joked afterward that was fine.
"I don't even want to know," he said. "Don't worry about it. We're good."

Directions: Start at the Hulls Gulch trailhead just north of town (follow 8th street until it becomes a dirt road, then its just a 1/2 mile or so. Parking on right side of road.)
Trail Information: So named for the hellish temperatures in Hulls Gulch during the summer months, the Valley of the Shadow of Death takes you up Hulls Gulch to a fork in the trail (2 mi?). Cross the creek and follow the flat trail (finally) to the right. About 200 yards down the trail is another trail heading off to the left and up the side of another hill. Follow this to the top, emerging onto the spine of an exposed and mercifully breezy ridge. Run down the ridge, enjoying beautiful views of the Boise Valley and Owyhee Mtns. Eventually you will drop out onto a trail named "The Freeway" (no signs). Hang a left and follow for approx. 3/4 mile until another fork heads off to the right. Take this fork back to the Hulls Gulch trail system and your vehicle. Total distance approx. 6 miles (?).
Miscellaneous Information: More fun in the morning. Take a Gu and water bottle.

Is nicotine considered a neurotoxin?
- Q: Is nicotine considered a neurotoxin?
- A: Nicotine is a naturally occurring liquid alkaloid. An alkaloid is an organic compound made out of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sometimes oxygen. Nicotine can be considered a neurotoxin depending on which definition of the term is used. A neurotoxin can be any substance that affects the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord and nerves). Nicotine has many effects on the body, including the chemicals and receptors in the brain, so in this sense it is a neurotoxin. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action. Lori Poulin, PharmD

The main objective of the current study is to determine the relationship between women's perceptions toward Iranian family values with psychological aggression. Approach: All of the randomly selected 337 wives who suffered from level of psychological aggression were included in this study. Straus questionnaire (CTS) is the method used to measure psychological aggression. It shows a negative relationship between family values (inequality in affairs and inequality in regulation) and psychological aggression. It has also shown that there is no relationship between values of inequality in access job and inequality in political in relation to psychological aggression. Social learning theory is used in order to gain a thorough understanding of the issue. The multivariate regression analysis is utilized to answer the last objective. Results: The analysis showed that among the four predictor variables, two of which variables such as inequality in affairs and inequality in regulation were found to be significant in explaining the observed variation in psychological aggression (DV). Conclusion: Generally, the final model has explained 4% of total observed variance in psychological aggression.

How to Use
Katy's top tips: For the easiest lash application, here are my top tips...
Tip 1: After applying the glue to the lash, leave until sticky, if you do the lashes will stick properly first time. I find it best to leave the lashes for about 20- 30 seconds after applying the glue. Tip 2: When applying lashes, get them as close to the lash line as you can, If there is still a small gap don't worry, you can use a soft eyeliner to simply fill in the space.
Tip 3: A great idea is to use a cosmetic bud or tip to just lift the lashes up (after he glue is dry), this will ensure the lashes are level.
The eye lashes are great shape, but the glue isn't very good it doesn't stay on very well. During the day you have to keep reapplying the lashes. - Not worth your money.

Emmy winner America Ferrera made the above declaration at Ugly Betty's Season 3 premiere party Monday night — and, as luck would have it, our cameras caught the whole thing!
'Ugly Betty' Scoop: Henry and Gio Will Be Back!
Beatrice B
Oh! this is the clip of the previous scoop. America is so cute.
Okay, Fine fine… I´ll swallow the bait… I am looking for any positive Freddy Rodriguez's news to cheer up my summer.
Allow me some fangirl moment:
*ahem* Thanks, Ausiello. Now I what really surprises me is Gorham still showing up, though.
Mike, you've got to ask about Jesse sometime! He's such a cutie. My gosh, I saw the pics of Val Emmich at the party, and I saw him on some "Ugly Betty" promo on YouTube. And I'd like to know more about his character. In fact, I think you should have interviewed Val Emmich himself!
Also, could you possibly get more spoilers on the Meade family? I'd like to know what's going to happen with Alexis, Claire, and especially Daniel. How exactly will Alexis be booted off? And what about Daniel's son?
Give us more, Mike! MORE!!!
Thanks for asking the question that were on a lot of peoples' minds, Aus. I'm glad to hear they haven't shut the door on either character…though I am more of fan of Gio than Henry :). I also like hearing America's pov on Betty's new look this year. Her fashion sense was looking a little "out there" for Season 3. But, she's right. Anything is better than Grandma's closet.
Thanks for voicing the question that was on all of our minds!!! Where's Freddy??…and Chris?
Freddy Rodriguez was great in S2, I hope things are really as open-ended as America said and we see him return for MORE than one measly episode.
America Ferrera is awesome! I love her acting and can't wait to see her portray Betty in S3. There's been a lot of talk about Betty's unique sense of fashion…many find themselves grimacing, but I just end up smiling when I see the pictures. It's so uniquely Betty! (well, I did grimace at that frightful collar when she was shooting in central park :P )
LOL, screw Henry and Gio. Love triangles are so boring anyway. Bring on the new and improved Betty!
And yeah, Mike – ask more about the juicier stuff next time, like about Wilhelmina's baby, Marc and Cliff, and the Meades! Yes, especially the Meades!
At this point, I think fans will eventually get over the whole love triangle thing, and not mind Henry and Gio being gone. Some fans will be bothered at first, but not for long. So, I don't think America has to worry about appeasing anyone. From what I've seen on the internet in general, I think the audience is more excited to see the show return to its roots, like the way it was in Season 1.
And I think Betty's wardrobe is going to be great in Season 3, especially with Patricia Field at the helm of the costume department. We're in for some great costumes, in my opinion.
I thought the love triangle was played out and boring. I'm sure they're great guys and they are good actors, but let's move on.
Beatrice B
Ttally agree with this people: I HATE LOVE TRIANGLES! Actually, I never though it was a triangle. For me Henry and Betty's love story was dead since half midseason. I wish they understand viewers want a mature, adventurous and funny drama-free Betty. Season 3 concept will suit perfectly with a romance with this positive-character Gio (I adore him!). I´ll never stop saying: Freddy Rodriguez is hot right now with all his efforts promoting Latinos in film industry. I think he would do great as regular cast and boost ratings.
So, Ausiello! Feed me about Rodriguez scoops anytime! I am craving for more!
No, Kent is right – it was a love triangle, especially since things were never truly resolved between Henry and Betty until he came back and tried to propose. And I agree – I think it's time to move on. I'm sure both Christopher Gorham and Freddy Rodriguez will have remarkable careers elsewhere. To me, it's not really necessary for Betty to be stuck in a long-term romance with anyone right now. And from what I hear about this new guy, I think it'll be a nice change of pace for her to keep things light and simple. Henry and Gio wanted to speed up their relationships with Betty, and that's not what she needs right now.
I am pretty intrigued by the new Jesse character. So far, not much has been said about him, so you might want to consider getting some scoop on this guy, Michael.
The first time I saw Val Emmich was on "30 Rock", and I thought he was great. I'm not a young teenager, but even I'll admit that he's easy on the eyes. Can't wait to see what he does here to rock Betty's world (no pun intended). :)
Betty had a man in season 1 – the type of show they are trying to get back to. He just wasn't such a major focus of every show. The last thing she needs is a new one – to take up a lot of the storyline. If she has to have a man let her keep one of the ones she already likes but in a stable, mature relationship without all the drama. I would much prefer Gio over Henry – but don't bring on another one. PLEASE!
Regarding all of those who are fighting hard for Betty and her romantic interests, I'm with some of the others on this one: Get over it already. This show is based on a telenovela, so you should expect tension and drama b/c that's what makes this show tick. If you think that Betty is going to start a long-lasting relationship now without any drama whatsoever, then you're dreaming. The writers would never let something that boring happen, especially since this is TV.
That aside, I personally think Betty is better off single and unattached for now. I think it's about time that we get a breather from the "hot-and-heavy" romances in her life, and just focus on the stuff that made the show fun originally – like her life at Mode and with her family.
Dear Ask Ausiello: Why are you so faggy? Try to keep your hands off the male actors, fruity.
You can get rid of Henry. He's boring. BUT BRING BACK GIO! He was what made me start watching the show.

Currently working in education, with a business background, I value the importance of technology integration and global preparation into the learning environment. Being an involved person, I streamline my creative teaching ideas into project-based applications that enhance the academic standards.
My Master's of Education focus is in curriculum and instruction. I've researched best-practice teaching methodologies and traveled the state presenting to educators on how to create 21st century learning environments that will help shape the future of our practices in education.
I take my background in teaching and program development and create ideas to infuse technology enhanced activities that directly correlate to our common core national standards so that teachers can automatically begin a new direction. This idea brings in a research-rich educational experience coupled with highlights that today's universities and global industry leaders look for in our graduates.
Welcome to my Blog! Take a peak into my Classroom where my Inspiration begins... click here to visit my blog home page for my educational favorites!
Welcome to my Classroom
You can get fancy letters, too!
I picked mine up from Hobby Lobby for $10 each... but I bought them on sale. I found a place online you could get designer letters, too. Click here for the letter R, click here for E, click here for A, and click here for D. These letters are $12 each and come in several colors/design patterns.
I use a variety of shelves. You can find 3 shelf bookcases here for $24 each.
My book tubs are from Lakeshore Learning, too. Click here to view the tubs. I also bought the companion labels to perfectly fit inside of each tub. I like that they have a matching genre/topic label for the side and the front of each tub. This way, you can arrange them on the shelf as you'd like. I purchased the bench/storage from Target for $59.
I love the clear, magnetic storage holders from Lakeshore Learning. I often put picture books or papers inside each pocket for students to easily access. They're great for "when I'm done" enrichment activities, too! You can click here to get your own. They come in a set of four for $12.95.
I use clear library pockets for my Job Helpers bulletin board. This way, it is easy for me to rotate the popcicle sticks when student jobs change. I use fabric to cover all of my bulletin boards. I also use walpaper border to add a decorative element to the larger boards. I refrain from using glossy borders or images since they typically create a glare. I also do not laminate a lot of the posters and charts I use for this same reason.
I try to keep everything at eye level for the students. Additionally, I try to stick with a color scheme that is not distracting. I believe that a brain-friendly environment is important to enhance each learner's potential. My room has a home feel so that students feel comfortable as soon as they enter. I avoid the flourscent lighting. Instead, I use the natural light. When it is darker outside, I have several lamps around the room that we use. Our room is not bright but rather has a relaxing and natural color.
The aesthetics help to set the tone for our learning environment.

History Page
1917 was a momentous year in Irish history. The Country was recovering from the aftermath of the Easter Rising. The First World (Great) War, that had taken the lives of many young Irishmen, continued in Europe. All organised Rugby in Ireland had ceased from 1914 to 1918, though this did not stop impromptu rugby matches being played in the Limerick region.
It was also a time when money was scarce, people did not have much in the way of luxuries. What they did have however was good neighbours who shared what little they had with each other. People did not have to lock their doors when they went out and mugging was unheard of. They were good times in many ways and the quality of life was much better then.
This was the setting in January 1917 when Ald. Joe Mclnemey, Frank Shortt, Jim Mulready, John Creamer, Hugh Flannery, Pat Mclnerney, Charlie McCarthy, Tommy Ryan, Dennis Murphy, Willie Ryan, Jimmy English and Patsy Slater met in the house of Dan Quaid in Sexton Street. Their intention was to form a Rugby Football club.
Naming the new club was to present something of a problem. A number of names were put forward but each was rejected for various reasons. The impass was broken when Dan Quaid, a former Vice-President of the Limerick City Rugby Club, affectionately known as the "The Gaubies", suggested the new club be named after the convent school across the road from where they sat. The newly formed committee readily agreed and so Presentation Rugby Football Club was born.
Matches were few and far between until 1919 when Rugby was once again re-organised. The members used that period to recruit new players and generally put the club on a firm footing. The committee held their meetings in turn at Jim Mulready's Bar, (now called Nancy Blake's in Upper Denmark street) and at Frank Shortt's Barbers Shop until they secured their own club rooms at number 7 Denmark Street.
Presentation enjoyed little success in local competitions until 1922 when they contested their first city Junior Cup Final. Abbey provided the opposition and scored the only try of the match.
The following season they competed for the Fr. Potter Medal Tournament, organised by The Pioneer Total Abstinence Sodality. The competition was confined to players who had not played in the Munster Junior Cup. After a good run Presentation lost to Shannon, the eventual winners. A defeat at the hands of Young Munster in the final for a set of gold medals left the city centre club still seeking their first success.
In the 1923-24 season "Pres" competed in the Munster Junior Cup for the first time in the opening round. The following season Shannon proved too strong in the first round of the Munster Junior Cup. Yet the Young Presentation side had learned much from these defeats The mentors were very much aware that experience was being gained with each match and it was felt the side had talent to make the breakthrough before too long. And so it was to prove when Limerick's youngest club scored their first major success in sensational style.
The meeting of Young Munster and Presentation in the final of the Transfieid Cup at the Markets Field was almost a local Derby. The Cup had not been competed for from 1909 to 1925 when Bohemians recorded their first and so far only win in the competition. The Markets Field was packed to capacity as the sides ran onto the pitch. The respective supporters, displaying the colours of their favourites gave continuous vocal encouragement throughout as one side then the other gained the lead. But it was to be Presentation's day as tries from Garrett O'Hanlon and Jack Braddish with two penalty goals from Paddy Heffernan enabled them to record their first ever success in Junior Football on a 12-9 scoreline.
After receiving' the Cup the supporters of the Black and Whites carried their heros shoulder high from the Markets Field to Denmark Street where celebrations went on long into the night. The winning line-out was as follows; Paddy Heffernan, Jack Mclnerney, Maurice English, Jimmy Flannery, Tommy English, Tommy Ryan, Tom Mclnerney, Garrett O'Hanlon, Pa Joe Mclnerney (Captain), John Foley, Jack Braddish, Larry Cavanagh, Paddy Hickey, Mick Mclnerney, Ger Brommell.
The following year a much changed Presentation, captained by Mick Mclnerney retained the Transfield Cup with a 5-0 victory over Abbey.
Into the side came Murty King who just one year later was a member of the Young Munster XV, that won the Bateman Cup. Other young players that played a big part in the cup win were, Mick Frawley, Jim Thompson, Paddy Sweeney, Jack Irwin, Pa Joe McGrath and Jim Burrows.
With two Transfield Cups to their credit the Limerick club were now ready to make an all- out effort to annex the Munster Junior Cup. In the 1927/28 season Presentation had their best run to-date when they qualified for the semifinal only to be defeated by the eventual winners Waterford City.
But success, as they say, was just around the corner. In the 1928/29 season, just eleven years after the founding of the Club, Presentation won their first Provincial Trophy, The Munster Junior Cup. A bye in the first round was followed by a 9-3 win over St. Munchins. Nenagh were next to fall on a 11-3 scoreline. In the Semi-Final Garryowen could never match their younger opponents who ran in three tries without replay.
After their semi-final win over Garryowen at the Markets Field Presentation went into strict training for their final meeting in Waterford.
The excitment generated throughout the city in the days prior to the final was intense. Thousands of supporters were making plans to travel by whatever means at their disposal. The Black and Whites were on the verge of making history. It was an occasion not to be missed.
The home side were holders, indeed they had defeated Presentation in the semi-final at the Markets Field the previous season. It was felt the young Limerick XV would be no match for the very experienced Waterford team.
When Waterford kicked-off against stiff breeze the huge crowd, in which the Limerick contingent, who outnumbered the local support by three to one, were most vocal in urging on their favourites.
In the opening quarter the home side attacked with such determination that they forced Presentation to defend their lines as if their very lives depended on it. Gradually "Pres" came to grips with their opponents and a number of promising attacks almost produced a score.
As the interval approached Presentation were awarded a penalty outside their opponents "25" far out on the right. Mick Hackett, so solid in defence all through the name, placed the kick inch perfect between the posts.
In the second period, the Limerick side playing with a new found confidence enjoyed long periods of superiority. Swift passing movements combined with foot rushes which Garrett O'Hanlon, Richard Smyth, Neddy Grimes and Gerry Brommell were prominent, kept play inside their opponents half.
It was no great surprise when Presentation increased their lead. Winning a scrum on half way the ball came to Tom Creamer via Tom Mclnerney. Cutting inside the wing linked with Jim Flannery who in turn passed to Jim Moloney. With the defence in disarray Moloney created the opening for Maurice English to run the final 25 yards and score in the corner. Hackett failed with the conversion attempt but it did not matter as the Munster Junior Cup was destined for Limerick and Denmark Street.
The team that represented Presentation this historic occasion was:
Mick Hackett, Jack Mclnerney, Maurice English (Captain), Jim Flannery, Tom Creamer, Jim Moloney, Tom Mclnerney Garrett O'Hanlon, Pa Joe Mclnerney, Richard Smyth, Edward Grimes, John McNamara Patrick Mulally, Mike Mclnerney, Gerry BrommelI.
When the victorious team returned to Limerick they were met at the Fairgreen by many thousands of their fellow citizens. After being welcomed by local officials the players were led by two bands to the clubrooms Denmark Street.
The city centre was filled with happy supporters who celebrated the Munster Cup win as only Limerick people can. Presentation added the Transfield Cup to round off what was surley the greatest season in their short history.
We beat old St. Munchins, And walloped Nenagh too,
But the finest lads we ever met, Were the little boys in blue,
When we went to Waterford, We thought "our numbers up"
But now we're coming back, With the Munster Junior Cup.
Transfield Cup Again
Presentation retained the Transfield Cup but were beaten by Abbey in the first round of the Munster Junior Cup. Success at local level continued when the Transfield Cup was won in 1931 and make it four wins in a row. Yet in this period "Pres" were unable to repeat their Munster Junior Cup success.
The club did not compete in any grade of football in the 1936-37 season and when they returned the following year lost to Richmond in the area semi-final of the Munster Junior Cup.
The late '30's were barren years for the club. The Second World War disrupted most competitions as once again many young men from Limerick joined the British forces and many more the Irish Army during the "Emergency".
In 1941 Presentation qualified for the Munster Junior Cup semi-final. Castleisland provided the opposition at the Markets Field defeating the city side 9-3. For the only time in its history the Munster Junior Cup was shared between Castleisland and Waterford.
A trio of Transfield Cup wins in 1942, 43 and 44, saw "Pres" leading club in North Munster once again.
Beaten Finalists
Provincial success however continued to elude the club. In 1944 Presentation and Dolphin met in the final of the Munster Junior Cup.Once again Lady Luck did Limerick side. They had opportunities but could not turn them into scores.With a scoreless draw very much on the cards, a late rally enabled Dick Dennehy to dop a goal for the only score of the game. Dennehy was to repeat that score when Dolphin defeated Garryowen by 4-0 in the final ofthe Munster Senior Cup.
Just four years later Presentation qualified for what was to prove their last Munster Junior Cup Final to date. On this occasion Nenagh provided the opposition. The two sides had met earlier that season in the Transfield Cup Final. After two meetings the sides were still level. In the semi-final "Pres" defeated S Marys 8-0 in extra-time, the scores coming from O'Dwyer and O'Donnell tries with a Costelloe penalty goal.

An AP story (6/7/09) previewing today's European Parliament election is headlined on MSNBC, "Europe Leans Right Ahead of Parliament Voting: Amid Economic Gloom, Conservatives Look Set to Win Big in Europe-Wide Poll." The article, by Michael Weissenstein and Robert Wielaard, begins: Europe was leaning to the right ahead of European Parliament elections Sunday, with voters in many countries favoring conservative parties against a backdrop of economic crisis. Opinion polling showed right-leaning governments with edges over their opposition in Germany, Italy and France. Conservative opposition parties were tied or ahead in Britain, Spain, and some smaller countries. So how big is […]

China's Babytree.Com Surpassed U.S.-Based Babycenter.Com To Become World's No. 1 Pregnancy And Parenting Website
BEIJING, April 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- According to most recent data published by Amazon's web statistics tracking site Alexa.com, Beijing-based Babytree.com has surpassed the well-known online parenting portal BabyCenter.com in terms of overall traffic (PV, or Page Views), unique users (UV, or Unique Visits) and time on site. With 55 million unique monthly visitors, most of whom are pregnancy stage to pre-school (age 6) children moms, Babytree is now the world's leading parenting portal. In other words, Babytree now reaches over 80 percent of all online moms from pregnancy to those with pre-school (age 6) children in China.
According to Alexa.com, Babytree.com overtook Babycenter.com in terms of site traffic starting as early as June 2012. Babytree's unique visitor (UV) surpassed Babycenter.com from the beginning of 2013 after showing strong upward momentum. Equally impressive is Babytree's site "stickiness," as evidenced by its page views per users (2x Babycenter.com), and average staying time per user (1.5x Babycenter.com). Please go to http://www.babytree.com/know/news_detail.php?id=823 for details.
Founded in 1997 and headquartered in San Francisco, US online parenting giant Babycenter.com has always been regarded as the most popular online parenting platform favored by worldwide moms, particularly those in the U.S. and in Europe. Founded in 2007 in Beijing, 10 years after Babycenter's establishment, Babytree has been growing leaps and bounds and now has surpassed the once most popular Babycenter.com. Babytree's overtaking Babycenter as the world's leading parenting site has established China's growing importance in the worldwide competition to offer great online services to moms and family population.
Allen H. Wang, Babytree's co-founder and CEO, praises Babycenter.com for its long standing accumulation of quality content. However, Wang believes that his Babytree's community parenting philosophy by fostering online communication and community support is more "in" with the current generation of young moms. And Wang attributes Babytree's fast rise in usage and popularity to this online communal philosophy. With a massive reach of over 80 percent against China's pregnancy stage and pre-school moms, many of whom are overseas and communicate with their China based family via Babytree, Wang believes that Babytree.com is also poised to exert more international influence. Wang harbors a dream of one day taking Babytree global by offering multilingual services.The Chinese mom population, with its huge market potential, has already become the target audience for various industries. With China's Babytree.com now surpassing Babycenter.com in all measures as the world's leading parenting portal, China will for sure witness a wave of web start up passion in the parenting area. Babytree's Wang believes 2013 will be an explosive growth year for the parenting industry in China, and he thinks those who can truly satisfy the variety of needs of China's parenting generation will have a competitive edge. Babytree's CEO concluded by saying, "We have built the world's leading parenting portal with the past six years of effort. We will maintain this position by better meeting parents' needs on and offline, and by offering more innovative solutions to moms in China and beyond." For more information, please contact:

PDF/UA (PDF/Universal Accessibility) is the informal[1] name for ISO 14289, the International Standard for accessible PDF technology. A technical specification intended for developers implementing PDF writing and processing software, PDF/UA provides definitive terms and requirements for accessibility in PDF documents and applications.[2] For those equipped with appropriate software, conformance with PDF/UA ensures accessibility for people with disabilities who use assistive technology such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, joysticks and other technologies to navigate and read electronic content.[3]

- 2 Audience & Benefits
- 3 History
- 4 Ongoing ISO and AIIM Committee Activities
- 5 PDF Association Activities
- 6 Implementers announcing their intention to support PDF/UA
- 7 References
- 8 External links
PDF/UA is not a separate file-format but simply a way to use the familiar PDF format invented by Adobe Systems and now standardized as ISO 32000.[4]
In general PDF/UA requires Tagged PDF (ISO 32000-1, 14.8), but adds a variety of qualitative requirements, especially regarding semantic correctness of the tags employed:[5] [6]
PDF/UA complements WCAG 2.0, [7]and should be used to make PDF files that also conform with WCAG 2.0.[8]
Requirements for conforming PDF files (Clause 7)[edit]
- Complete tagging of "real content" in logical reading order
- Tags must correctly represent the document's semantic structures (headings, lists, tables, etc)
- Problematic content is prohibited, including illogical headings, the use of color/contrast to convey information, inaccessible JavaScript, and more
- Meaningful graphics must include alternative text descriptions
- Security settings must allow assistive technology access to the content
- Fonts must be embedded, and text mapped to Unicode
Requirements for conforming PDF processors (Clause 8)[edit]
- The ability to fully process tags and artifacts in PDF files
- The ability to announce relevant actions to users
- The ability to process and represent digital signatures, annotations and Optional Content
- The ability to navigate the document by a variety of means
Requirements for conforming assistive technology (AT) (Clause 9)[edit]
- The ability to represent information provided by a PDF/UA conforming reader to the AT user
- The ability to navigate the document by a variety of means
The formal name of PDF/UA is "ISO 14289-1 Document management applications -- Electronic document file format enhancement for accessibility -- Part 1: Use of ISO 32000-1 (PDF/UA-1).[9]
Audience & Benefits[edit]
While PDF/UA is written for software developers, PDF/UA support is of interest to persons with disabilities who require or benefit from assistive technology when reading electronic content. With PDF/UA conforming files, readers and assistive technology, users are guaranteed - so far as the PDF format itself can provide - equal access to information.
The benefits of PDF/UA extend beyond people with disabilities. With support for PDF/UA, reader software will be able to reliably reflow text onto small screens, provide powerful navigation options, transform text appearance, improve search engine functionality, aid in the selection and copying of text, and more.
The PDF/UA project began in 2004 as an AIIM Standards Committee.[10] The PDF/UA wiki, operated by AIIM, contains agendas, meeting-minutes and public-access documents pertaining to the development of PDF/UA.
Chaired since 2005 by President of Document Solutions, Inc. Duff Johnson, in 2009 AIIM's PDF/UA Committee became the U.S. Committee for ISO/AWI (Accepted Work Item) 14289 with Cherie Ekholm of Microsoft as International Project Leader.
The US Committee continued as the main driver of the standard's development through the WD, CD, DIS and FDIS Phases of ISO standards development, with review, comment and balloting by the member bodies of ISO TC 171.
ISO 14289-1:2012 (PDF/UA) was published in July, 2012. The document is available directly from the ISO's webstore.[11]
In October 2012 the US Library of Congress added PDF/UA to their list of archivable file formats.[12] The LoC's guidance states that PDF/UA is "...a preferred format for page-oriented content by the Library of Congress."
Adobe Systems, the largest implementer of interactive PDF software, has announced its intention[13] to support PDF/UA.
Ongoing ISO and AIIM Committee Activities[edit]
In July 2013 ISO indicated PDF/UA-1 was at "Stage 90.92" - was under revision.[14]
In May, 2012 the International Committee formally opened work on ISO 14289-2, with an "NWI" (New Work Item) to be based on ISO 32000-2.
The US Committee has published the following documents in support of PDF/UA:
- Achieving WCAG 2.0 with PDF/UA[15]
- PDF/UA-1 Technical Implementation Guide: Understanding ISO 14289-1 (PDF/UA-1)[16]
- (under development) PDF/UA-1 Technical Implementation Guide: Understanding ISO 32000-1 (PDF 1.7)[17]
Committee Organization & Leadership[edit]
AIIM's US Committee for PDF/UA led development of the document from 2004 until 2010, when the draft became an ISO NWI. Both US and ISO Committees maintain their work on AIIM's PDF Standards wiki.[18]
- Project Leader, International Committee: Cherie Ekholm, Microsoft
- U.S. Chair & Spokesperson: Duff Johnson, Independent Consultant
- TC 171 SC 2 WG 9 Secretary: Betsy Fanning, AIIM
- Convener, International Committee: Dennis Newman, PFS Corporation
Participation by subject matter experts, software developers and other interested parties is invited and encouraged.
PDF Association Activities[edit]
The PDF Association helps promote PDF/UA in a variety of ways.
PDF/UA Competence Center[edit]
In 2011 the PDF Association created the PDF/UA Competence Center as a way for vendors to develop educational resources and share experiences regarding implementation of PDF/UA.[19] The Matterhorn Protocol (see below) is a product of the PDF/UA Competence Center.
NVDA goes PDF/UA Project[edit]
In 2012 and 2013 the PDF Association helped raise money and awareness for NV Access's NVDA to further development of the world's first PDF/UA conforming screen reader.[20]
The Matterhorn Protocol[edit]
In August 2013 the PDF Association's PDF/UA Competence Center published the Matterhorn Protocol, a set of 31 checkpoints and 136 failure conditions to help software developers make it easier for document authors to create fully accessible PDF files and forms.[21]
The PDF/UA Reference Suite[edit]
In June 2014 the PDF Association's PDF/UA Competence Center published the first iteration of the PDF/UA Reference Suite, a set of reference-quality documents conforming to PDF/UA-1.[22]
Seminars, Books and Brochures[edit]
The PDF Association conducted numerous educational seminars on PDF/UA throughout Europe, North America and Australia in 2012 and 2013. A book, "PDF/UA in a Nutshell",[23] was produced in both English and German. An informational brochure[24] was also produced in both languages.
