-- eating at Taco Bell at Costa Rica
If you visit Costa Rica during your vacation
trip, maybe you could stop and eat at
Taco Bell. This chain has hired a high
number of disabled and deaf employees.
This company wanted to make a statement on
hiring these people that need employment.

-- Switched at Birth update
The final season, after a 5-year run, of
the "Switched at Birth" TV series will
begin on January 31st. Issues to be
covered during this final series will
be campus racism, comments from several
African-American characters and a
big 100th episode, of which the theme
is being kept a secret. Leading
veteran performers are Katie Leclerc
(hard of hearing but functions as
a hearing person) and Marlee
Matlin.
-- big banks not helping the deaf
In USA, the big banks are Bank of America, Wells Fargo,
JPMorgan Chase, and Citigroup. Do they help the
deaf in anything? Well, in Australia, the
Commonwealth Bank has reached a deal to help
the deaf and disabled cricket players. Our
big banks don't do anything to help us with
Deaflympics funding. Yet - there is a big
irony. Australia has a bad reputation for
discriminating against the deaf - cannot
serve on jury, limited TV captions, no
employment opportunities, no interpreters, etc.
