-- a deaf chef with a big dream
Chef Jeffrey Perri is deaf, and has experience, working the
kitchen at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore and then
currently at National Aquarium in Baltimore. He has a big
dream - to establish a Culinary Academy for the Deaf. In
hopes of achieving this dream he is competing in the Carroll
County Biz Challenge (Maryland). If he wins, he will use
the prize money to open the program for the deaf.

-- hearing person says deaf is dangerous
A hearing person said:
I am scared of deaf people because if I do not understand they
will hit me
Deaf person hitting a hearing person over a misunderstanding?
Well, this comment was made by a scared hearing person in Zaire.
-- discrimination in gaming
A veteran deaf gamer was interviewed about dealing
with discrimination in computer games. This gamer
said there is no game right now that is deaf-friendly.
And while there was one deaf-friendly game, the
company went out of business some time back.
What kind of discrimination? A hearing person
could hear bees swarming in the game background
and know what to do on moving objects on the screen.
A deaf gamer knows nothing and loses valuable
game points!
