-- a rejected deaf dog
Seven (actual name of the deaf dog) was rejected and
given up to the dog rescue center. The owner didn't
want the dog because of her deafness. Well, the
deaf dog, a border collie mix, won the Canadian
Agility Trials championship! This event
combines speed and accuracy through an obstacle
course. She was the most watched dog throught the
championship, all eyes on her! Why Seven? It was
the seventh dog that rescuer/trainer Adina MacRae
adopted. She is now 9 years old and it is her
last participation as she is now retired.

-- airports hate audits
Already the airports are scared in India. Everyone
hates audits. The India Ministry of Social Justice
and Empowerment is planning with the Department of
Empowerment of People with Disabilities to audit
22 major airports to see if they are deaf/disabled
friendly. If airports are not friendly, then they
will be ordered to fix up ASAP. Yesterday
DeafDigest mentioned Taco Bell; if Taco Bell had
audits, then all ASL kiosks would have been
installed at all outlets. Same as with airports
in India.
-- captions postponed at Rio Olympics
It was learned that NBC is postponing the airing
of the Opening Ceremony at the Rio Olympics.
It will not be aired live but shown several
hours later. Why? Many reasons - but one of
these reasons is "time and money" for captions!
Already people are angry at NBC.
