-- a sign language drive-in kiosk
You can drive up to a Starbucks outlet in St Augustine,
Florida and order your coffee at the sign language
kiosk. One deaf woman did - and the video went
viral. Just a few weeks ago, a pizzeria in California
set up a sign language kiosk for deaf patrons.
Hope will be seeing more and more sign language
kiosks everywhere. For a picture of that Starbucks
sign language kiosk:

-- the verdict in the California Zombie Walk crash
A deaf man was found guilty of reckless driving in
San Diego, when he drove through a crowd of parade
participants. He was scared for his life when
these parade participants jumped on his car.
Several things to think about. It took the jury
a long time to discuss the case. It may be
possible that the jurors did not agree and that
some felt the deaf driver was not guilty.
It is up to the judge to determine the sentence.
He could sentence the driver to three full years
in jail, or give him a light sentence or to let
him off on probation. And the deaf driver could
appeal the decision. We shall see what happens.
-- it pays for a woman to love the political system
Leah Katz-Hernandez, who is deaf, is the White
House receptionist. She greets many of the world's
most famous and most powerful people. How did
she get the job? A hint may be that she loves
the political system - always involved with
Gallaudet student politics while she was
a student; keeping track of the presidential
election; deaf issues that needed attention
on the Hill; getting deaf people to vote
and getting involved; and also helping
Obama get re-elected. And much more.
