FCC is hosting a roundtable, open to public, on
November 10 at the headquarters in Washington, DC.
Official theme is - the benefits of captioning
such programming, the relevant captioning obligations
of programmers and stations, and effective and
efficient captioning solutions
if you have a captioning beef or suggestions,
the roundtable may be a good place to attend.
If you are from out of town, then you can view

-- a claim by the disabled
A rally by the disabled took place in New York.
Deaf people were part of that rally. There
was a sign shown at the rally which said:
Half of all people killed by police have a disability
How many times have we read in the newspapers
about police shooting a deaf man, without
realizing he couldn't hear the commands?
Very sad.
