-- a comment by a real-time TV captioner
A real-time TV captioner told DeafDigest editor,
re these captioning bloopers:
they often focus on our mistakes; don't they? I wish
they focus on the 98 percent or 99 percent that we got
it right!
-- a deaf child assaulted by a school crossing guard
A school crossing guard, very angry about being ignored
by a deaf child, assaulted him. A group of students,
seeing it happen, asked a police officer to arrest
the guard. The police officer refused. What is going
on? This incident took place last week in Varanasi,
a big city in India. Why was the guard angry? He asked
for a favor, for deaf child to pick up a bag of mixed
nuts from a vendor across the street. The deaf child
didn't - and was hit by the guard. Yet, the police and
the school officials ignored this incident.
-- what has become of Derrick Coleman, deaf player in NFL?
Derrick Coleman, Seattle Seahawks, is NFL's only deaf player.
How is he doing? He has played 7 games, starting 3 and
catching 6 passes as the fullback. He has not, however,
played since October 17th because of a hamstring injury.
He has recovered and may possibly play tonite against
New Orleans Saints.
