Captioning Ads
Bionic Ear AllDeaf.com points to a story about deaf people who want to see closed captioned ads. We may fast forward through commercials when watching TiVO or a taped program, but there are times when we’d like to know what is said...

Senator McCain and Now Brueggemann Gone from BoT - Who?s...
The GU Private Investigator It appears that the “house cleaning” of the board of trustees that many wish to see has already started thanks to the two recent resignations.  The healing process HAS begun.  McCain, while I bizarrely think he’s still a viable candidate for US President, did diddly squat during his tenure as a BoT member. Apparently, his track record [...]

The magic of 50-50
Musings on communication What is the best mix of deaf and hearing people toward a common goal? Let me offer that it is the 50-50 balance, based on personal experience and some conclusions drawn from that experience.In 40 years of working in various employments and committees, from all-Deaf to all-hearing groups, one realizes there was a magic in the one place where the mix happened to be [...]

Brueggemann Resigns from Gallaudet BoT!
BiblioMarket Associated Press has announced Brueggemann plans to step down this week from the BoT at Gallaudet. It also reported that McCain resigned in disagreement with the decision to terminate Dr. Fernandes. My earlier interpretation of this event being a political move appears to be in error. However, I am happy with these two departures from [...]

A Better Gallaudet Ship We Call Deafhood
Kalalau's Korner Robert Greenleaf coined the term servant-leadership in 1970, and it is best summarized by Hamilton Beazley in foreword for the book The Servant Leader Within: A Transformative Path which reads:"In education, servant-leadership has led to new pedagogy, new learning, and new organizations devoted to its practice. In all its applications, servant-leadership achieves what [...]

A Practical Look at the 8 Strategic Goals of Gallaudet
Musings on communication I wondered: by "strategic" does it mean these are the principles that will assure Gallaudet's survival, funding, student success, or political clout? These goals are so vauge that they evaporate on closer examination and one is left wondering what the real priorities are. One's first reaction in reading them is to wonder what minimum-wage clerk wrote them and to [...]

RidorLIVE It did not surprise me that the Virginians voted for Amendment #1, 58% to 42% in banning the same-sex marriage, thus denied me and my two siblings from having the opportunity to be afforded to us by having the license for benefits and rights. Upon asking my parents if they voted yes or no.  They said [...]

John McCain & Sandy Ewan
RidorLIVE Senator John McCain, Republican from Arizona, has vacated himself from the Gallaudet’s Board of Trustees. What do I think?  Good riddance, John!  Don’t let the door slam your butt on your way out! Why?  Because John never showed up or expressed his concerns about the Deaf-related issues at Gallaudet from day one.  If you reviewed all minutes [...]

ASL at Gallaudet?
What's that you said? The question of whether or not Gallaudet "should" be ASL only or not is an interesting one. It's important, I think to first understand Gallaudet's place in history. After all, it is not the only school for the deaf. But it is the oldest. It began as a deaf school in 1857 and established a collegiate division in 1864. It is chartered by the U.S. government and [...]

Significance of BoT McCain?s Resignation?
