How far does the dome of protection spread when it comes to our privacy?
Washingtonpost.com posted a brief story about Verizon Wireless, sharing that &#8220;a number of its [Verizon Wireless] employees have &#8220;accessed and viewed&#8221; President-elect Barack Obama&#8217;s personal cellphone account without authorization.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[Hearing aids can be a great asset for me, except when the “hearing” part doesn’t work anymore. Then they are of no “aid” at all. One time, my hearing aid started malfunctioning. During this particular period, work was extremely busy so I couldn’t take time off to go get the instrument repaired.

		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;m about two weeks slow on the uptake, but I&#8217;ve been watching the reaction to a federal judge&#8217;s decision that the powers that be over at the Redskins&#8217; home stadium must caption all &#8220;aural content.&#8221;  (I&#8217;m obsessed with that phrase and am gonna abuse it as much as earthly possible.

		<description><![CDATA[By Julie Feldman
Last year, I was waiting to cross a very busy intersection in Penn Quarter. I looked to my left and there was a blind man with his telltale white cane also waiting to cross the street. Instinctively, I reached out my arm; I thought that, obviously, he needed help crossing the street. Then [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you read Paul Schwartzman&#8217;s recent article in the Washington Post (entitled &#8220;Gallaudet&#8217;s New Aesthetic Openness&#8221;)? If not, please do take a look-it&#8217;s pretty good. Schwartzman&#8217;s focus is on Gallaudet University&#8217;s drive to develop a number of adjacent properties that it owns along Sixth Street using an architectural design concept called “deaf space.”

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve thought long and hard about this campaign. When I learned that Palin, a newbie barely versed with the echelons of our national capital powerhouse, was selected, my first thought was, “It’s a ploy.” I didn’t even think, “Gosh, possibly the first female vice president ever” nor “Wow, McCain’s clever.” If anything, it is…wait…I’m going [...]]]></description>

Teigan Van Roosmalen, a deaf Australian swimmer, missed the start of a final race in Beijing on Tuesday at the Paralympic Games after the light on the block that was supposed to coincide with the starter gun malfunctioned.  They immediately re-ran the race, so she was still able to participate.  She came in eighth.
