We've explored two of the crucial pillars of accessibility, focus and semantics. Now let's tackle the third, styling. It's a broad topic that we can cover in three sections.
- Ensuring that elements are styled to support our accessibility efforts by adding styles for focus and various ARIA states.
- Styling our UIs for flexibility so they can be zoomed or scaled to accommodate users who may have trouble with small text.
- Choosing the right colors and contrast to avoid conveying information with color alone.
Styling focus
Generally, any time we focus an element, we rely on the built-in browser focus
ring (the CSS
outline property) to style the element. The focus ring is handy
because, without it, it's impossible for a keyboard user to tell which element
has the focus. The WebAIM
checklist makes a
point of this, requiring that "It is visually apparent which page element has
the current keyboard focus (i.e., as you tab through the page, you can see where
you are)."
However, sometimes the focus ring can look distorted or it may just not fit in
with your page design. Some developers remove this style altogether by setting
the element's
outline to
0 or
none. But without a focus indicator, how is
a keyboard user supposed to know which item they're interacting with?
You might be familiar with adding hover states to your controls using the CSS
:hover pseudo-class. For example, you might use
:hover on a link element
to change its color or background when the mouse is over it. Similar to
:hover, you can use the
:focus pseudo-class to target an element when it has
/* At a minimum you can add a focus style that matches your hover style */
:hover, :focus {
background: #c0ffee;
An alternative solution to the problem of removing the focus ring is to give your element the same hover and focus styles, which solves the "where's-the-focus?" problem for keyboard users. As usual, improving the accessibility experience improves everyone's experience.
Input modality
For native elements like
button, browsers can detect whether user interaction
occurred via the mouse or the keyboard press, and typically only display the
focus ring for keyboard interaction. For example, when you click a native
button with the mouse there is no focus ring, but when you tab to it with the
keyboard the focus ring appears.
The logic here is that mouse users are less likely to need the focus ring
because they know what element they clicked. Unfortunately there isn't currently
a single cross-browser solution that yields this same behavior. As a result, if
you give any element a
:focus style, that style will display when either the
user clicks on the element or focuses it with the keyboard. Try clicking on this
fake button and notice the
:focus style is always applied.
fake-button {
display: inline-block;
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid black;
cursor: pointer;
user-select: none;
fake-button:focus {
outline: none;
background: pink;
<fake-button tabindex="0">Click Me!</fake-button>
This can be a bit annoying, and often times developer will resort to using JavaScript with custom controls to help differentiate between mouse and keyboard focus.
In Firefox, the
:-moz-focusring CSS pseudo-class allows you to write a focus
style that is only applied if the element is focused via the keyboard, quite a
handy feature. While this pseudo-class is currently only supported in Firefox,
there is currently work going on to turn it into a
There is also this great article by Alice Boxhall and Brian Kardell that explores the topic of modality and contains prototype code for differentiating between mouse and keyboard input. You can use their solution today, and then include the focus ring pseudo-class later when it has more widespread support.
Styling states with ARIA
When you build components, it's common practice to reflect their state, and thus their appearance, using CSS classes controlled with JavaScript.
For example, consider a toggle button that goes into a "pressed" visual state
when clicked and retains that state until it is clicked again. To style the
state, your JavaScript might add a
pressed class to the button. And, because
you want good semantics on all your controls, you would also set the
aria-pressed state for the button to
A useful technique to employ here is to remove the class altogether, and just use the ARIA attributes to style the element. Now you can update the CSS selector for the pressed state of the button from this
.toggle.pressed { ... }
to this.
.toggle[aria-pressed="true"] { ... }
This creates both a logical and a semantic relationship between the ARIA state and the element's appearance, and cuts down on extra code as well.
Multi-device responsive design
We know that it's a good idea to design responsively to provide the best multi-device experience, but responsive design also yields a win for accessibility.
Consider a site like Udacity.com:
A low-vision user who has difficulty reading small print might zoom in the page, perhaps as much as 400%. Because the site is designed responsively, the UI will rearrange itself for the "smaller viewport" (actually for the larger page), which is great for desktop users who require screen magnification and for mobile screen reader users as well. It's a win-win. Here's the same page magnified to 400%:
In fact, just by designing responsively, we're meeting rule 1.4.4 of the WebAIM checklist, which states that a page "...should be readable and functional when the text size is doubled."
Going over all of responsive design is outside the scope of this guide, but here are a few important takeaways that will benefit your responsive experience and give your users better access to your content.
- First, make sure you always use the proper
viewportmeta tag.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
width=device-widthwill match the screen's width in device-independent pixels, and setting
initial-scale=1establishes a 1:1 relationship between CSS pixels and device-independent pixels. Doing this instructs the browser to fit your content to the screen size, so users don't just see a bunch of scrunched-up text.
Another technique to keep in mind is designing with a responsive grid. As you saw with the Udacity site, designing with a grid means your content will reflow when the page changes size. Often these layouts are produced using relative units like percents, ems, or rems instead of hard-coded pixel values. The advantage of doing it this way is that text and content can enlarge and force other items down the page. So the DOM order and the reading order remain the same, even if the layout changes because of magnification.
Also, consider using relative units like
remfor things like text size, instead of pixel values. Some browsers support resizing text only in user preferences, and if you're using a pixel value for text, this setting will not affect your copy. If, however, you've used relative units throughout, then the site copy will update to reflect the user's preference.
Finally, when your design is displayed on a mobile device, you should ensure that interactive elements like buttons or links are large enough, and have enough space around them, to make them easy to press without accidentally overlapping onto other elements. This benefits all users, but is especially helpful for anyone with a motor impairment.
A minimum recommended touch target size is around 48 device independent pixels on a site with a properly set mobile viewport. For example, while an icon may only have a width and height of 24px, you can use additional padding to bring the tap target size up to 48px. The 48x48 pixel area corresponds to around 9mm, which is about the size of a person's finger pad area.
Touch targets should also be spaced about 8 pixels apart, both horizontally and vertically, so that a user's finger pressing on one tap target does not inadvertently touch another tap target.
Color and contrast
If you have good vision, it's easy to assume that everyone perceives colors, or text legibility, the same way you do — but of course that's not the case. Let's wrap things up by looking at how we can effectively use color and contrast to create pleasant designs that are accessible to everyone.
As you might imagine, some color combinations that are easy for some people to read are difficult or impossible for others. This usually comes down to color contrast, the relationship between the foreground and background colors' luminance. When the colors are similar, the contrast ratio is low; when they are different, the contrast ratio is high.
The WebAIM guidelines recommend an AA (minimum) contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for all text. An exception is made for very large text (120-150% larger than the default body text), for which the ratio can go down to 3:1. Notice the difference in the contrast ratios shown below.
The contrast ratio of 4.5:1 was chosen for level AA because it compensates for the loss in contrast sensitivity usually experienced by users with vision loss equivalent to approximately 20/40 vision. 20/40 is commonly reported as typical visual acuity of people at about age 80. For users with low vision impairments or color deficiencies, we can increase the contrast up to 7:1 for body text.
You can use the Accessibility DevTools extension for Chrome to identify contrast ratios. One benefit of using the Chrome Devtools is that they will suggest AA and AAA (enhanced) alternatives to your current colors, and you can click the values to preview them in your app.
To run a color/contrast audit, follow these basic steps.
- After installing the extension, click
- Uncheck everything except
- Click
Audit Present State
- Note any contrast warnings
WebAIM itself provides a handy color contrast checker you can use to examine the contrast of any color pair.
Don't convey information with color alone
There are roughly 320 million users with color vision deficiency. About 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women have some form of "color blindness"; that means about 1/20th, or 5%, of your users will not experience your site the way you intended. When we rely on color to convey information, we push that number to unacceptable levels.
For example, in an input form, a telephone number might be underlined in red to show that it is invalid. But to a color deficient or screen reader user, that information is not conveyed well, if at all. Thus, you should always try to provide multiple avenues for the user to access critical information.
The WebAIM checklist states in section
1.4.1 that
"color should not be used as the sole method of conveying content or
distinguishing visual elements." It also notes that "color alone should not be
used to distinguish links from surrounding text" unless they meet certain
contrast requirements. Instead, the checklist recommends adding an additional
indicator such as an underscore (using the CSS
text-decoration property) to
indicate when the link is active.
An easy way to fix the previous example is to add an additional message to the field, announcing that it is invalid and why.
When you're building an app, keep these sorts of things in mind and watch out for areas where you may be relying too heavily on color to convey important information.
If you're curious about how your site looks to different people, or if you rely heavily on the use of color in your UI, you can use DevTools to simulate various forms of visual impairment, including different types of color blindness.
High contrast mode
High-contrast mode allows a user to invert foreground and background colors, which often helps text stand out better. For someone with a low vision impairment, high-contrast mode can make it much easier to navigate the content on the page. There are a few ways to get a high-contrast setup on your machine.
Operating systems like Mac OSX and Windows offer high-contrast modes that can be enabled for everything at the system level. Or users can install an extension, like the Chrome High Contrast extension to enable high-contrast only in that specific app.
A useful exercise is to turn on high-contrast settings and verify that all of the UI in your application is still visible and usable.
For example, a navigation bar might use a subtle background color to indicate which page is currently selected. If you view it in a high-contrast extension, that subtlety completely disappears, and with it goes the reader's understanding of which page is active.
Similarly, if you consider the example from the previous lesson, the red underline on the invalid phone number field might be displayed in a hard-to-distinguish blue-green color.
If you are meeting the contrast ratios covered in the previous lessons you should be fine when it comes to supporting high-contrast mode. But for added peace of mind, consider installing the Chrome High Contrast extension and giving your page a once-over just to check that everything works, and looks, as expected.

Production: Presses Get Summer Tune-Ups
By: Mark Vruno
Many newspaper presses slow down a bit during these heat wave-laden "dog days" of summer, which makes this the ideal time for machine maintenance and to consider performance enhancements. Upgrading existing press lines is increasingly considered to be a cost-effective means of improving speed and efficiency without investing in all-new presses, especially by companies in economically challenged markets with heightened competitive and cost pressures — a trend particularly apparent in many newspaper markets, as the PrintCity Alliance stressed at its drupa exhibit. PrintCity members and partners, including Baumüller, Tolerans, Procemex, Sonoco Alcore, manroland Web Systems, Cofely, and UPM, fielded questions about reducing total life cycle costs, increasing quality and productivity, and adding new capabilities. An interactive display answered some of the most frequently asked questions regarding the benefits of tuning up web presses. These web-offset experts pointed out the five main goals of a press upgrade:
1. Reducing total life cycle costs, including maintenance, production costs, materials waste and energy consumption, less downtime, and reduced changeover time
2. Extending press lifetime with a higher assurance of availability and quality
3. Expanding production capacity to meet growing demand for color or output capacity
4. Increasing quality and productivity
5. Adding innovations to compete in new and existing markets by offering value-added products such as different formats, stitching and trimming inline, or printing on coated paper
Press systems have different innovation cycles — mechanics, 10 to 15 years; electronics, two to four years; and software, one to two years — and each cycle offers different opportunities to upgrade. For example, manroland Web Systems provides a single contact service for mechanical, electronic, and software upgrades for both its own and other suppliers' machines. Services can include a consultation inspection of the complete system to analyze optimization opportunities, project planning, designing, and commissioning. Upgrades to pasters and dryers are available from MEGTEC, while UPM and Sun Chemical provide a range of services for press optimization and troubleshooting.
Press upgrades
Opportunities to upgrade your press can include plate- and blanket-clamping systems, spray-dampening systems, digital inkers, galleries, webbing-up systems, and controls. Benefits from press system upgrades are broad and can include automatic cleaning of the dampening system to reduce changeover times as well as to increase print quality and the system's life cycle. If there are frequent washes during production, retrofitting a low-maintenance, automatic blanket-washing brush system can increase productivity. In addition, exchanging folder nipping rollers by separated nip rings will reduce changeover time, wear on parts, and maintenance. The separated nip rings are adjusted to the corresponding web widths and section lengths and are surface coated to guarantee optimal performance. In case of wear, only the separated nip rings need to be exchanged, not the complete nipping roller.
Software upgrades for presses with PECOM control can include Quickstart to reduce waste copies during start-up and restart. This software integrates the pre-inking function into the run-up during start-up and optimizes processes during restart and delivery stop to rapidly achieve the required ink density. Another optimization opportunity is to reduce cut-off waste during press acceleration by improved pre-control of the cutting register default on the web lead components,and optimization of the web transport from the printing units to the folder. Press tune-ups also include optimizing installed equipment output, ranging from using tools to measure web stability, remote monitoring and viewing, process audits, and interactive training to improve efficiency.
10-year extension
Fairfax Media's major expansion to its Western Australia printing plant has increased production capacity to meet growing coldset demand and to expand into heatset printing with the addition of a MEGTEC Dual Dry TNV91 dryer. "This investment indicates our confidence in the continuing demand for mass-produced printed products and publications," said Bob Lockley, chief executive of print and logistics at Fairfax. "We will be able to provide a much wider variety of products both coldset and heatset with a great deal of flexibility within the plant."
The control systems of older MEGTEC pasters — such as DME, DME-S, and DLC version DA — can have obsolete components, for example Siemens S5 PLC, replaced with proven, modern supportable technical advancements such as Saia PLC with touchscreen user interface. Another example is the magnetic clutch drive for the acceleration belts that can be replaced by drives with frequency converters. These upgrades help modernize and give the equipment a new lease on life. The advantage for the printer is increased productivity due to less maintenance, improved web stability, tension, and splicing efficiency. Retrofits such as these, in conjunction with similar press upgrades, can extend the lifetime of the paster and press by at least 10 years, according to MEGTEC.
New days at Newsday
Newsday, Inc. selected Goss Intl. for a highly specialized, multi-press reconfiguration project targeted to improve print quality and double color capacity and press speeds. The enhanced press systems went into production in June at its facility in Melville, Long Island, N.Y. The publisher operates multiple press lines to print its flagship daily Newsday, which reaches nearly 1.4 million readers weekly on Long Island and in New York, as well as other products.
Working closely with Newsday, Goss combined components from existing Metro presses at the site to create three enhanced press systems with the capacity to print 96 tabloid pages, including 64 full-color pages, at up to 60,000 impressions per hour. The project included relocation of units and folders, modification of drive lines, repositioning of motors, and installation of customized stacking frames and platforming. Goss also added motorized registration capabilities to the presses and converted the web width of one press to 48 inches.
The size, complexity, and tight time frame of the reconfiguration plan led Newsday to select Goss. "We needed a partner with far-ranging expertise in engineering, project management, manufacturing, installation, and start-up, and the ability to coordinate all those elements," said Edward Bushey, vice president of operations and distribution. "The Goss team also meshed very well with our own team from day one. That collaborative approach and the scale of their aftermarket resources in North America are vital."
Goss Intl. and Newsday teamed up to conceptualize and engineer the press reconfiguration. Work began on site in Melville in January. Goss was responsible for project management, installation, and commissioning, with a technical team and press operators from Newsday assisting. Specialized structural components for the project were produced at the Goss machining and manufacturing facility in Kennedale, Texas.
"We appreciate this opportunity to work with a publisher that is taking such a creative, proactive approach to extend the competitive life of existing presses," said Wesley Clements, vice president of sales for Goss newspaper products in North America. "This project goes far beyond a standard press expansion, and it gives us a chance to showcase how comprehensive, professional, and competitive our resources are."
Retrofit Checklist
Eight questions to consider when contemplating retrofitting a newspaper web press, according to PrintCity Alliance:
1. Are all spare parts available for the next five to 10 years?
2. Can you ensure daily press production availability for the next five to 10 years?
3. Can you ensure that a system breakdown can be fixed in less than 60 minutes?
4. Do you use remote help (telesupport)?
5. Are makeready and downtime performance optimized to best industry practice?
6. Do you know whether waste, consumables, and energy figures can be further reduced?
7. Does your press provide all the data for process optimization?
8. Does the press deliver value-added publishing products?
New 'Iron' Investments
Goss Intl. sold 11 web presses at drupa this spring, including one in Mexico. With one M-800 press already in operation at its facility, commercial printer Grupo Ajusco placed an order for a second one at the drupa tradeshow. The four-unit system has a 4×4 32-page cylinder configuration and will be installed later this year. Grupo Ajusco has invested in the press to add capacity for a wide range of high-quality heatset commercial, tabloid newspaper, retail insert, and book products.
"The overall performance of our first M-800 press, and in particular the high print quality, led us to invest in the second one," said Sergio Torres, owner of Grupo Ajusco. The company also operates two Goss M-600 16-page web presses. Torres said having two 16-page presses and two 32-page presses with compatible web widths will provide exceptional versatility and efficiency.
Goss will equip the new M-800 press at Grupo Ajusco with a Contiweb CS splicer, Ecocool dryer, automated Omnicon control technology, and a JF70 collect folder that delivers up to 35,000 32-page signatures per hour in collect mode, or up to 70,000 16-page signatures in straight production. The M-800 prints at up to 2,200 feet per minute using conventional flat blankets but incorporates several high-performance features from gapless Goss Sunday presses, including inking and dampening systems, multidrive, and an inline cylinder stack.
Post-drupa in South Africa, printer and publisher Rising Sun Printers also ordered a new Goss Community press to meet growing production requirements for an expanding range of titles. The five-tower configuration is currently being installed into a new press hall. Rising Sun decided on a new-generation Community press based on past experience with Goss equipment, according to joint owner and managing director Vijay Maharaj. "There are cheaper presses out there, but we're investing in the peace of mind that comes with the Goss name. The success of print production for our company has been entirely established and developed through Goss engineering and manufacturing quality," Maharaj said.
"Our original press was already 25 years old when we started printing 10 years ago and, with a couple of tower additions and an additional folder along the way, it has served us reliably as we have grown over that time," he said. "Having said that, this new Community press will take our production set-up into a new dimension — a lot has changed in the appearance and features of the Community since our last installation."
The new 578mm cut-off press for Rising Sun will have five four-high towers, two SSC folders equipped with quarter-fold capability, and five zero-speed splicers. Featuring spiral brush dampening and a Goss motorized register system, the press has been configured to allow for a further tower addition in the future.
Rising Sun Printers is an independent publisher originally established to address the need for a free community newspaper that could provide information on local services and events. The first newspaper started a trend in South Africa, according to Maharaj, and today, the company employs 250 people in printing and publishing seven other tabloid titles weekly. In total, Rising Sun prints around 20 community newspapers per week, ranging in size up to 80 pages per edition and printed in run lengths up to 60,000 copies.
Consistent Quality
Newsprinters, the U.K. printing arm of News Intl., is pioneering new quality consistency standards with QuadTech's AccuCam. The state-of-the-art Knowsley site in Liverpool, England, covers 34 acres, with enough print capacity to produce 430,000 120-page tabloid newspapers every hour. The AccuCam systems will be installed on 25 towers of the plant's five manroland COLORMAN XXL presses.
The decision to select the QuadTech Color Control and Web Inspection System with AccuCam was made following a two-year trial, which resulted in significant improvements in quality consistency and productivity. In addition to advanced image-based color control, the system provides reliable warnings of many common printing faults such as catch up (scumming), creasing, transposed plates, and tramlines. The research and development efforts at Knowsley also resulted in a new AccuCam water control capability, in which the system monitors and controls press damping levels. "This investment will provide us with cost savings and improve already award-winning print quality," said group managing director Brian McGee. "It reinforces our commitment to stay ahead of the game with regard to printing technology, as we do with all aspects of manufacturing excellence."
The AccuCam system provides fully automatic closed-loop color control by controlling the ink-key settings. An image-based system, AccuCam uses prepress image files to create L*a*b* target aim point values. Its six-channel spectral sensor measures the printed web and calculates the L*a*b* values of the entire image, then brings the printed image to the specified L*a*b* target values and automatically maintains the color values throughout the production run. The system also provides advanced web inspection from the same sensor, typically detecting defects within the first 170 copies, and continuously throughout the print run.
"The installation of the AccuCam system provides total peace of mind that defects can be eliminated and gives us the confidence to exceed the most demanding expectations, including on high quality paper grades," said Wayne Thorpe, quality and training manager at Newsprinters. "This helps us in our mission to be recognized as the best newspaper printer in the world."
The Newsprinters installation will begin in October, and the systems will be fully operational by January 2013. The sale follows successful installations of AccuCam in Asia, Europe, and the Americas, including Sankei Shimbun Printing Co. (Osaka, Japan), Herold Druck und Verlag AG (Vienna, Austria), and the Chicago Tribune.
drupa Show Follow-Up
Newspaper and commercial printers seeking better ways to lower costs while achieving a wider gamut of color reproduction found answers at drupa stand 3A50. Visual Communication Technologies from the Sakata INX Group demonstrated ink products and halftone technologies designed specifically for these applications.
"Higher quality inserts as well as overall newspaper and commercial reproduction are imperative for printers and publishers in order to meet client demands in today's increasingly competitive global marketplace," said Kuniyoshi Horimoto of Sakata INX. "The range of substrates including newer calendared stocks poses additional challenges. We offer options that address these challenges from several perspectives. Together, they can significantly impact results."
Leading the way is the Luce process color ink system, which is ideal for newspaper and semi-commercial print applications. "Visuals are brighter with higher color intensity than with ordinary inks," Horimoto said. "This results from a wider color gamut, which also allows Luce inks to be run at higher densities with reduced dot gain, while achieving greater color saturation."
Luce users can expect better ink mileage as well. "The Luce ink system is designed to print at a lower film thickness at standard densities," Horimoto said. "Consequently, this reduces strike-through on newsprint substrates, a definite plus with publishers and their advertising clientele."
Although many items factor into daily expenses for any print operation, reduced ink consumption in today's tight economy adds up to a notable plus that goes directly to the bottom line. "The higher quality output provided by Luce inks' wider color gamut with more vivid, saturated color is sure to please all parties involved."

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution looks to get back in the win column against the visiting Colorado Rapids on Wednesday night at Gillette Stadium.
Kickoff between the Revs (2-5-0, 6 pts.) and Rapids (4-4-0, 12 pts.) is set for 8 p.m. and the game will be televised live in high definition on Comcast SportsNet New England, while the radio call will available on 98.5 The Sports Hub.
Current Form: Revs looking to end three-game slide; Rapids just snapped a skid of their own
The Revolution will be happy to see the calendar flip to May after suffering three straight losses in the month of April while scoring just one goal in the process. Most recently the Revs were dealt a 1-0 setback at Red Bull Arena as a slow start doomed New England and the visitors were unable to claw out of an early hole despite dominating possession for the majority of the second half.
"Right now, we're not being beaten; we're losing," said head coach Jay Heaps. "We're losing it ourselves. We're hurting ourselves. That's tough. The way we started the game on Saturday just wasn't good enough."
New England can find hope in the fact that Colorado was on a similar skid – three straight losses and just one goal scored – before exploding for a 4-0 win over Chivas USA this past weekend at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Three of the Rapids' four goals in that match were scored in the final 10 minutes, including a brace from newcomer Kamani Hill.
Past Meetings: New England winless against Colorado since 2007
The Rapids have been a tough test for the Revolution in recent years as the Revs haven't beaten their Western Conference foes since the final meeting of the 2007 season. Since then the Revs are winless (0-3-5) against the Rapids, including four meetings (0-2-2) at Gillette Stadium.
WATCH: Video preview
Last season the teams played to a pair of draws. A scoreless encounter in Foxborough was followed up by a thrilling 2-2 draw at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in which Benny Feilhaber scored his first MLS goal and Shalrie Joseph registered the equalizer with a 90th-minute penalty kick.
Injury Report: Guy still sidelined for New England; Mastroeni missing for Colorado
In the midst of a three-games-in-eight-days stretch, the Revs are likely to trot out a slightly altered starting lineup on Wednesday night at Gillette Stadium. Heaps has emphasized the importance of roster rotation and managing minutes during the physically demanding period and confirmed this week he'd make a few changes from the group which took the field at Red Bull Arena on Saturday.
One of those changes will not be the insertion of Ryan Guy, however, as the versatile 26-year-old has been ruled out while continuing to recover from right calf tightness.
"We're just waiting to see when he can be fit again," said Heaps. "He's close, it's just a matter of when."
Colorado continues to forge on without the leadership of captain and central midfield lynchpin Pablo Mastroeni, who has missed the past six games with lingering headaches following a clash of heads during the season opener. The Rapids did regain the services of forward Conor Casey for a brief cameo appearance against Chivas USA – his first action since rupturing his Achilles tendon last July – but the burly target man didn't make the trip to Foxborough as he continues his return to full health.
Key Player: Revolution midfielder Benny Feilhaber
Feilhaber has come off the bench in the Revolution's past two matches as he continues to regain full fitness after missing almost a month with a left peroneal strain, but the dynamic playmaker could be ready to return to the starting lineup on Wednesday night. If he does, Feilhaber will be looked upon to steer the Revolution's attack as the club aims to end its recent scoring drought.
"We want Benny to get back to be a full, fit player," said Heaps. "The injury took a lot out of him from a fitness standpoint and now we're starting to see him get back to the player he is and the player we need him to be, which is carrying a heavy load for us."
Final Thoughts: Better start – and potential early goal – the objective against Colorado
"They have a good team," said Joseph. "Defensively, offensively; they're a good team all over the field. With Jeff (Larentowicz) in the middle and Omar (Cummings) up top, they're a solid team. We've just got to match their intensity, be ready to play from the start of the whistle and get that early goal which is going to allow us to settle a little bit, then take it from there."

The rant-filled, anti-reform rallies leading up to the nation's historic health care bill should put a new variation on an old and unpleasant inner prayer.
Let me give you the scoop on something many white people might not know about many black people.
Whenever a particularly egregious crime makes the news, or an insanely stupid remark, or an outrageously ridiculous mistake ... well, when this stuff hits the news, many blacks have been known to shudder, cringe and silently repeat a six-word prayer. "Please don't let him be black. Please don't let him be black."
It's a throwback reaction to the days when a really smart, really clean, really patriotic, articulate black person was considered the exception, but a really dumb, really criminal black person represented the entire race. At least, that's the way many black people thought many white people saw things.
Comedians like Steve Harvey and sitcoms like "The Game" (in regular reruns on BET) have used the familiarity of the phrase - and the feeling - for laughs. Social scientists put the "please-don't-let-him-be" fear under the broad category of a phenomenon common to disadvantaged, marginalized groups - internalized oppression, which is to accept, or internalize, the broad myths, anxieties, stereotypes, degradations and injustices that accompany racism.
And what are some white people likely to think when a particularly egregious crime or an insanely stupid remark or an outrageously ridiculous mistake makes news?
Is it "Please don't let him be white"? Is it "Betcha he's black"?
This is the 21st century. Nothing is black and white.
The rant-filled, anti-reform rallies leading up to the nation's historic health care bill should put a new variation on an old and unpleasant inner prayer.
Over the weekend, when protesters outside the Capitol allegedly spit on one black congressman and shouted racial slurs at two others, including civil rights icon John Lewis, does anybody cringe, "Please don't let them be Tea Partiers"?
When other protesters sneered other slurs at openly gay Congressman Barney Frank, does anybody shudder, "Please don't let them be conservative Republicans"?
Are Tea Partiers, Glenn Beck-ers, Rush Limbaugh-ers, conservative Republicans and the assorted groups that make up the most vociferous voices against overhauling health care embarrassed by the video making the rounds on YouTube of two men berating another man with Parkinson's disease as demonstrators, pro and con, rally outside a congresswoman's office in Columbus, Ohio?
"If you're looking for a handout, you're in the wrong end of town. Nothing free, over here you have to work for everything you get," one anti-reformer told the man who quietly sat on the ground, holding a handmade sign that read, "Got Parkinson's? I do. You might."
Leaders in the anti-reform movement dutifully took to the airwaves to disown the hate as the work of a few, isolated idiots. These isolated incidents by idiots are becoming all too common and devoid of the shame and embarrassment that should prompt strong calls for them to end.
Apparently, whiteness means never having to be embarrassed by the crazy, stupid things other white people do. It's much bigger. The crazy, stupid things these white people did are embarrassing for the country.
Turns out the man with Parkinson's is Robert Letcher, a former nuclear scientist with a doctorate from Cornell University, who was in the pro-reform camp of the rally.
"My weakness was my strength. I didn't have to say anything," Letcher told a Columbus Dispatch columnist.
The video on YouTube didn't catch the final moments of Letcher's run-in with idiots. Another man gently advised him to move to safer ground. Letcher says he thanked him later.
Would anybody cringe if the prayer is "Please let him be a Tea Partier"? Letcher says he was.

The rhythms of English poetry
Longman, 1982 - Literary Criticism - 395 pages
Examines the way in which poetry in English makes use of rhythm. The author argues that there are three major influences which determine the verse-forms used in any language: the natural rhythm of the spoken language itself; the properties of rhythmic form; and the metrical conventions which have grown up within the literary tradition. He investigates these in order to explain the forms of English verse, and to show how rhythm and metre work as an essential part of the reader's experience of poetry.

A group of men and women refuse to let a sleeping dog lie.
A group of men and women refuse to let a sleeping dog lie.
A little brown dachshund can be seen some days sunning itself near the Regal Cinema in Franklin Square. If approached, it runs into the nearby woods.
The timid animal has lived near the theater for about five months, eluding all who attempt to capture her.
Gaston County Animal Control officers have made multiple attempts to lay their hands on the dog, to no avail.
Several dog lovers also tried to capture the canine � bringing food and attempting to gain her trust.
The amount of attention the dog has gotten is atypical, according to Steve Rhyne with animal control. He guessed that her sweet appearance paired with a busy shopping center as the reason she�s become so popular.
Sly dog
Animal Control officers make regular stops to check up on the dog and attempt to capture her.
Lowell police joined in.
Capt. Scott Bates drives by practically every morning, often bringing some of his dogs� treats. She won�t take the bait. In fact, the dog often turns her nose up at Bates� dog bones. He said other visitors feed the pup more tantalizing morsels.
Hamburgers and table scraps may be why the animal isn�t interested in the dog food put in traps by Animal Control.
�It�s definitely not going to go in a trap when it�s getting sausage biscuits from Bojangles�,� said Rhyne.
The animal lives back in the woods that border I-85. Officers can�t easily chase the dog into the thicket of kudzu and briars.
�This dog is very crafty,� said Rhyne. �It�s hard for us to chase a dog that�s only a few inches tall.�
The spry little dog often runs up to cars it knows, waiting for treats. But she stays far enough away to quickly dart back into the woods.
One woman who visits the dog regularly got close enough to pet the dog, but the end result remains. The dachshund tucked her tail and ran away.
Top dog
Ashley Stewart noticed the homeless dog during the summer. After several attempts to capture the dog, Stewart put out a call for help on Facebook.
Stewart posted about the pup in August on One Man�s Junk, a page typically dedicated to buying, selling and trading goods. Some people have used the page to buy and sell animals or ask for help finding a lost pet.
Stewart hoped the post would help.
�I just felt so bad for the little girl. It�s pitiful. She�s such a cute one and you want her to have a good home,� said Stewart. �I thought if we got enough people involved we could get her home.�
The thread has more than 200 comments � many centered on a plan to rally to capture the animal.
Those attempts, too, have failed.
Communication between the dog�s admirers began in a less high-tech fashion, according to Rhyne.
Rhyne noticed several months ago that people had started pinning notes to each other on a tree near where the dog lives. Caregivers would say what food or toys they�d left or pass along phone numbers to contact in case the dog was captured.
Doggone it
Catching a small, swift dog can be tougher than people think, according to Animal Control.
People have suggested using nets or tranquilizers. Neither technique is advisable for a small animal with a good temperament, said Steven Hay with Animal Control.
�We�re hesitant to use a tranquilizer on it because it�s a small dog. There�s a danger of killing it,� he said.
Throwing a blanket or net over a dog that�s so afraid of people could provoke an attack, said Hay.
The dog has no collar or tags. Employees at nearby PetSmart told Hay that the animal got away from its owner during a visit to the store.
�It got spooked, and they couldn�t get it back,� Hay said.
Hay said Animal Control has no intent to euthanize the dog if it�s captured. On the contrary, there�s a list of people who want to give the animal a home.
Stewart hasn�t been able to check on the dog for a while due to an unrelated injury, but just Wednesday Rhyne stopped by and saw the animal.
Both he and Hay say they�re confident that the dog�s caregivers will eventually gain her trust and give her a home.
�There�s a whole coalition of people out there feeding it hoping they�ll get their hands on it,� said Hay. �Sooner or later someone will probably be able to snatch it up.�

NEWPORT NEWS — For someone like Hannah Joyce, a multi-sport athlete who is used to the action, sitting in the dugout for six innings wasn't easy. That's the price in an All-Star game, when the roster has 19 players and everyone wants a turn.
But Joyce, Gloucester's record-setting shortstop, made up for the lost time in the East's 6-0 win Thursday morning at Captains Park. She went 2-for-2 and was the only player in the game with multiple hits.
"Everybody got three innings, and I got the last three," Joyce said. "It was OK, though. I got to cheer on the ladies while I was watching. It was fine."
The East led 3-0 in the top of the seventh when Joyce laid down a perfect bunt to load the bases. After two runs scored on a pair of wild pitches, Joyce came home on an RBI groundout to make it 6-0.
Joyce had a two-out single to center in the top of the ninth but was stranded.
All coming in her last official act as a high school athlete.
"I'm going to miss this jersey so bad," said Joyce, who will be playing next season at Chowan University.
Joyce, the Peninsula District and Co-Eastern Region Player of the Year, was one of three players from the Peninsula area in the game.
Menchville's Bria Mizell went 1-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI, and she also pitched two shutout innings. Poquoson Maggie Tyler, the Group AA Pitcher of the Year, gave up one hit and struck out seven in three innings as the starter.
For Tyler, it was a nice sendoff before beginning her career at Virginia Tech.
"My last hurrah," she said. "It was definitely an honor to start the game. And I got to hit in the four-hole, which is cool."
Tyler went 0-for-2, sending a ball to the warning track in her last at bat.
"I dipped my shoulder a little and hit it up," she said.
Unlike Joyce and Tyler, Mizell will not play softball in college. Though she had scholarship offers, she chose to attend Old Dominion, which does not have a softball program.
"The only reason I turned them down is because they either didn't have my alternative, which is nursing, or they didn't have the dental program, which is really want I want to do," she said. "I'm hoping ODU does get a team so I can play."
The East's MVP was Patrick Henry-Ashland's Samantha Moore, who broke a scoreless tie with a solo home run in the top of the fifth inning. The West's MVP was Bath County's Jailyn Ford, who gave up two hits — including Moore's homer — and struck out seven in five innings.
East;000;012;300—6 8 2
West;000;000;000—0 4 1
WP: Reid. LP: Ford. Standouts: East, Joyce 2-2 (run), Mizell 1-3 (run, RBI), Moore 1-2 (HR, RBI).

More US states are moving towards laws that limit computer forensics work to those with Private Investigator licences, or people contracted to work for licensed investigative agencies.
Pending legislation in South Carolina would limit the specialist work of capturing and making sense of evidence on computer discs and server logs to businesses whose main line of work is serving legal process or matrimonial investigations. The bill covers computers forensic evidence presented in court.
Computer evidence compiled by unlicensed practitioners would be excluded from admission in either civil or criminal cases under the regulation. Those caught practicing without a licence to collect evidence for court (though not on a private basis) could face criminal prosecution.
Enterprises or private individuals would still be free to hire anyone they choose for private investigations. Computer forensics is often used as an internal investigatory tool following computer intrusions, or in response to suspicion of staff misuse of internet resources.
Georgia, New York, Nevada, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington already have similar legislation, Baseline Magazine reports. The idea is that by restricting the preparation of computer forensics work for presentation in court promotes higher standards and keeps out the cowboys.
However, expecting computer forensics experts to have a PI licence makes about as much sense as requiring PIs to have computer science degrees. Most private investigators come from a police or forces background. The regulations smack of protectionism.
Commonly, specialist agencies handle IT-related work such as counter-surveillance and forensic examination. Data recovery firms and others with computer forensics expertise may be equally capable in preserving and processing computer evidence, but are locked out of the business in the US, unlike other countries such as the UK where such firms are typically swamped with work. ®
