I'm surprised our resident Deaf news guru, Ms. Delectable, hasn't picked this one up yet. A local Deaf Teacher was recently made Teacher of the Year at his school, and is in the running for district-wide Teacher of the Year honors within Miami-Dade County. Congrats! Deaf Teacher Given...

Stumbled upon this article recently at DeafRead; Identity Politics Gone Wild - (Weekly Standard) The article truly delves into the minutae of Deaf Culture, to the point where it is disturbing on so many levels. Anyway, discuss amongst yourselves. :) Me? I'm already looking to the...

I recently found out about the 'Yen Carry Trade' phenomenon that is currently a *major* force in the worldwide financial markets. Thanks to the differing interest rate and currency spreads between countries, this yen carry trade can prove to be extremely lucrative. (Or ruinous!) I was...
