(160 visits) So HOW MUCH Does It Cost to Caption Anyway?
Berke Outspoken Tue, Nov 14 2006
Many captioning companies will not post their prices publicly on their websites. Guess what, the prices are not a secret anymore!

See the images below, taken directly from various petitions.AberdeenAllied VaughnCaption MaxCPCCustom CaptionsNational Captioning [...]

(110 visits) Poor Churches Never Required to Caption?
Berke Outspoken Tue, Nov 14 2006
As we already know, in September the FCC granted many exemptions to churches from having to caption. Now, it looks to me like poor churches may never be legally required to caption.

Read the bold print of this report. Our first issue and suggestion on the agenda was Reprisals. We asked for amnesty of all reprisals involved in the protest.

(180 visits) more thoughts on deaf education
What's that you said? Tue, Nov 14 2006
This is a subject I'll doubtless return to again. I've commented here about mainstreaming deaf students, Moi had very good observations why it's vital to have ASL-speaking teachers (and students) and not just interpreters floating about to "give access." Both Banjo and I pointed out some of the predation problems with both residential/boarding schools and with [...]

Mishka Zena Tue, Nov 14 2006
In an e mail to Pam Holmes: Greetings, Pam, Bob Davila, I believe, meets  the requirements for the position of Gallaudet’s interim president, and probably even transcends them all! As a graduate of the California School for the Deaf, Bob very early became fluent in ASL and deaf culture, as well as developing an excellent command of English.  So he’s [...]

Mishka Zena Tue, Nov 14 2006
American Sign Language and the Question of Existing For a while now I have been feeling this creeping sense of foreboding that carries on its fringes a tickling sense of fear. Some of the perceptions that have presented themselves in blogs, discussion forums, and newspapers over the last six months scare me on a deep level, although I probably shouldn’t [...]
