-- a well known actress knows ASL because of a reason
Emma Stone is a well known actress. She knows ASL.
When she was a young girl, she was homeschooled.
And her tutor was deaf! She had to learn ASL to
communicate with the tutor over her homeschooled
lessons and home work! A picture is at:

-- a small state says no to interpreters for deaf prisoners
Delaware is one of the smallest states in USA, but
its volume may speak louder than any other bigger
states. Delaware has deaf prisoners; they need
interpreters. But Delaware Judge T. Henley Graves
says no to interpreters! Why? He said that prisons
are not public accommodations, and therefore not
subject to ADA! In other words, prisons are not
open to general public! Is Graves' thinking weird?
Yes!
-- a Deaf Invention
A group of deaf tinkerers have invented a special
weightlifting equipment, and in fact, already
raised capital funds. This invention is
called Gripbell, and it claims to be the best
weightlifting and training equipment to be used
in the gymnasiums.
