He was a leader among the disabled, the deaf included, groups in the St Louis area. He also was involved with Paraquad, which serves the deaf in need of assistance. - What the best stories are saying about the deaf? The issue of specially designed deaf children has been brought up on ethical grounds by philosopher Melissa Seymour Fahmy. Her article was written up in a recent issue of Bioethics. The topic title was: On the Supposed Moral Harm of Selecting for Deafness Steve Silverman, who is deaf and is a long time teacher of the deaf at the George Washington Elementary School in Burbank, California, was written up in a newspaper story. Late-deafened at the age of 28, he made teaching the deaf his career, and he will be retiring next month. Not really knowing what to do after he became deaf, he gave Deaf Education a try and it was the right decision for him. - Very Hot News The buzz in the Deaf Sports Community everywhere is that the future Deaflympics may be in jeopardy because of funding issues in many of these member nations. The nations' Olympic Commissions do not want to share their money with the deaf sporting groups. - Sunday February 27th In front of the home of girl scout founder Juliette Gordon Low in Savannah, Georgia, the Girl Scouts were told they cannot sell cookies. What about it? The founder, Juliette Gordon Low, was deaf! - Monday February 28th Sydney, Australia is the site of the next The World Federation of the Deaf Conference. It will take place October 2013, and it is being hosted by the Deaf Society of New South Wales. - Tuesday March 1st A great day for the Gallaudet basketball programs, as it was announced that the women's team has been invited to the NCAA-III national tournament. And the men's team has been invited to the ECAC regionals tournament. This is the first such double-honor in Gallaudet's basketball history - Wednesday March 2nd Netflix announced adding of subtitles to their videos. It has been met with criticism and skepticism by some critics. They are saying Netflix stats on captions are somewhat misleading. - A World Premiere movie in Los Angeles with open captions "Claustrophobia" World Premiere movie to be shown at GLAD with open captions on Saturday March 12, 2011, 830 PM at GLAD Auditorium 2222 Laverna Avenue Los Angeles, CA more information on flyer at: http://deafdigest.com/GladEvent/ Q & A with director and cast after the showing .... (Thursday-Saturday Hot Deaf News will be in the Gold edition) ... Deaf Miscellaneous stuff: Polly Slappey, who teaches at Wisconsin School for the Deaf, said in a newspaper story: This is not my Wisconsin. You can't even fit 60 desks in a classroom, let alone keep control of the class This was in response to governor Walker's controversial plan to reduce classroom spending in the state while "doubling up" on classroom sizes. If Walker's plan is implemented at Wisconsin SD, it would practically mean one classroom would contain school's K-8 students! Impossible? Yes, and Walker is wrong. Slappey? Name sounds familiar? Yes, wife of superintendent Alex Slappey - and she was serving as the school's union representative. ............................................................. .............................................................

Your Single Source for Assistive Technology ............................................................. ............................................................. WHY DO MANY DEAF PEOPLE RETIRE FROM JOBS? Many deaf people work for many years and then retire? Why do they retire? Because they want to relax and enjoy life? Maybe. Because they can live comfortably from their retirement pensions and social security? Maybe. But for many of them the #1 reason they retire is that they're fed up with their hearing bosses picking on them! - for ASL News version, please visit: http://deafdigest.com/videos/retirement/ (for your convenience, video links are posted on top of each DeafDigest edition) .................................................... .................................................... The LAST CALL Announcement!!!! Deadline - Wednesday, March 9, 2011 The 2011 Miss Black Deaf America Pageant to read this announcement, please visit: http://deafdigest.com/bdapageant/ .................................................... .................................................... ORAL DEAF CHILDREN AND ASL DEAF CHILDREN This is a true story. DeafDigest will not mention the name of the city. In that city, oral deaf children and ASL deaf children play together in a playground and gymnasium and have a lot of fun, laughing, playing and teasing. Their oral deaf parents and ASL deaf parents do not get along with each other. Why? - for ASL News version, please visit: http://deafdigest.com/videos/deafchildren/ (for your convenience, video links are posted on top of each DeafDigest edition) ANOTHER BUZZWORD IN THE INTERPRETING COMMUNITY As always DeafDigest is fascinated with buzzwords that replace older buzzwords. The latest one is: Dense Technology It has a lot to do with highly skilled interpreters trying to interpret shop and hi tech lingo that the average person does not use but in which is important for deaf clients attending workshops and college classes. A CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF Is there such a thing as a Correspondence School for the Deaf - where students learn by corresponding with their tutors? Don't know - but there was a newspaper story in Azerbaijan that mentioned such a school. It said: School 87 (correspondence school for deaf) Maybe meaning of the word correspondence in a different language means differently than what it means in English? .................................................... ....................................................

A POSTAGE STAMP OF A DEAF PERSON Last week's DeafDigest mentioned the Peabody Essex Museum in Massachusetts, where an exhibition is being shown of deaf 17th century artist Hendrick Avercamp. It was learned that some postage stamps have been issued in his honor. As usual it is a deaf postage stamp honoring a deaf person for a public accomplishment that has nothing to do with the deaf. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - DEAF DRAMA AND ARTS BEING THREATENED The Congress Short-term continuing resolution has threatened Deaf Culture, meaning Quest's theatrical programs for the deaf and hard of hearing may be in jeopardy. To read what it is all about, please visit: http://deafdigest.com/quest/ WHAT DO INTERPRETERS HATE? being asked: why did you come with your deaf clients? if you have these "hate" or "horror" stories, please mailto:barry@deafdigest.com COMMENTS FROM A CART OPERATOR - continuing series What should a captioner do if a word isn't in his or her computer dictionary? The hard part about being a captioner is that you cannot be a total expert in all areas. No matter how good captioners are, they all run across situations where some unusual word is not in their dictionary. A situation was recently brought to my attention where the words "carve telly" kept coming up in the captioning of a food show. One time the word "cavatelli" finally appeared. It was then realized that all those times that "carve telly" came up, it should have been "cavatelli." When a word is not in a captioner's dictionary, it can be a nightmare. Captioners usually write out complete words and syllables in each stroke. It is possible to spell out words letter by letter, but that is very slow compared to writing by syllables. When a speaker is talking very fast and a word comes up that is not in the captioner's dictionary, what can a captioner do? In this case, it appears that this captioner just kept writing the sounds phonetically, and "carve telly" came up. Another option is to try to fingerspell the word letter by letter. If it is a long word, that can be another big problem. The captioner may not be able to keep up with what is being said because fingerspelling a long word is much, much slower. The other choice for the captioner may be to use a synonym. In this case, the captioner possibly could have written "pasta" so that the viewers could understand what was going on. ............................................................. ............................................................. weekly DeafDigest Blue & Gold editions also posted at: http://deafdigest.com updated every Monday UNFAIR TO THE DEAF OR UNFAIR TO THE HEARING DeafDigest editor never forgot an animated argument brought up by a hearing person that does not sign but has a deaf sibling that signs. That hearing person felt left out in the company of deaf people, and felt that the deaf people should use their speech to make him feel at home. That argument is valid - but - what about the other way around which is too common - that the deaf person is the only one in the company of hearing people, all of whom do not sign. ............................................................. .............................................................

Hot DeafNews boring, but important! The FCC, again, has proposed an update of rules to allow us access to high tech communications stuff. This is a follow up of the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010. The FCC wish list is long but if implemented, these will be beneficial to us, the deaf. ..... The Deaf and the Law: Every employer in USA knows what ADA is all about! Correct? No. Many employers are ignorant on what ADA is all about and when they face a deaf applicant, they will say: Sorry, we are not going to hire a deaf person. What should the deaf person do? Get a disability rights attorney and let him do the work in your favor. ..... News of the Week - Looking Back 10 Years Ago: Now that the lawsuit filed by three deaf men wanting to compel movie houses to caption first-run movies has been OK'd by a Federal judge, the DEAFDIGEST editor will be anxiously awaiting the outcome - so are deaf Hawaiians. The DEAFDIGEST editor lives in Annapolis, MD and to take in a first run captioned movie, a long drive to White Marsh, MD or the Washington, DC suburbs must be undertaken. For the deaf Hawaiians, they're out of luck unless they are able to fly to the mainland USA to take in these movies! (editor's note - this lawsuit was interesting; the three deaf men were representative of the whole Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community; one was an oralist, one was an ASL signer and one was hard of hearing. The lawsuit resulted in Rear Window Captioning system, a solution many of us continue to find unacceptable) ..... News of the Week - Looking Back 5 Years Ago: DeafDigest dedicates this edition to Western Union, which got out of the telegram business just a few days ago. Whether Western Union realizes it or not, it has an enduring Deaf Heritage: - Samuel Morse, who invented the electrical telegraph, was married to a deaf woman - Amos Kendall and Samuel Morse were close friends and business associates. Kendall's estate in Washington, DC is where Gallaudet University is located - the first telegram sent by Morse went to Baltimore, thru miles of cables, which went across the land where Gallaudet is located - in the early days, deaf people were able to send telegram cables to convey vital messages - Western Union surplus Model 15 and Model 19 machines formed the backbone of the Deaf Community TTY network Sorry, to see you go, Western Union. ..... Deaf Apocalypse of the Week: Are issues so far apart that two opposing groups cannot compromise and reach agreement? We have this possibility of NFL strike & owners' lockout. We have this disagreement between the Wisconsin governor and the Democratic legislators. And now this, the Utah group refusing to sit down with the superintendent of Utah Schools for the Deaf and Blind! ... A Lipreading Problem: What did that person say? from a DeafDigest Subscriber - My father-in-law was asking me if I would take down the burn house and clean it. I was confused.
