PROVIDENCE, R.I. - A Providence teen would love to break another barrier through her senior project. 18-year-old Amber Rodriguez is a high school senior with dreams of becoming a police officer, so getting tugged along by one of Providence’s two explosive detection dogs makes for a perfect project.
This is a first for Providence Patrolman Linc Sisson, and Kyra the Belgian Shepherd, who is stronger than she looks. Amber is a sharp shooter on the court for the Rhode Island School For The Deaf, and competes on the basketball court as well as in the classroom.
Her desire to protect and serve combined with her love of animals sparked her unique senior project idea. “I’m learning about how she sniffs out the bombs, how she can find and detect some of the bombs that are hidden,” Amber said.
While Amber’s athleticism would be an advantage to the rigors of police work, she knows she would probably be the first Deaf officer.

Video: Deaf Tattoo Convention Berlin (English Version)
The first International Deaf Tattoo Convention of the world was held in Berlin. Twelve tattoo artists from many countries took part. More than 900 visitors came to Berlin-Weißensee.
It was great to attend the convention. We have learned a lot and made new experiences. For example, it is not "deaf and dumb", but "Deaf". The Moderation we have completely turned at the beginning and forgot to repeat it again. But that experience at least even more viewers, as it is correct. Thanks also to the organizers, it was cool with you!
Zur weltweit 1. Deaf Tattoo Convention trafen sich vom 18. bis 20.Januar 2013 zwölf internationale gehörlose Tätowierer in Berlin-Weißensee. Von der Convention berichtet Tattoomodel Mel Riot.
Es war toll, die Convention zu besuchen. Wir haben einiges gelernt und neue Erfahrungen gemacht. Zum Beispiel, das es nicht "Taubstumm", sondern "Gehörlos" heißt. Die Anmoderation haben wir ganz am Anfang gedreht und leider vergessen, es noch einmal zu wiederholen. Aber so erfahren wenigstens noch mehr Zuschauer, wie es richtig heißt. Danke auch an die Veranstalter, es war cool bei Euch!
Die 2. Deaf Tattoo Convention wird übrigens im September 2014 in Paris stattfinden.

Would a Deaf Lifeguard be ‘Qualified’ Under the ADA ?
Oakland County - What would you do if you were hiring a lifeguard for a community wave pool and the applicant was Deaf, but he was also certified as a lifeguard? A new court ruling this month shows how mistakes made in assessing the applicant's medical condition can leave an employer drowning in litigation ...
Case in Point: Nicholas Keith, 22, was born Deaf and communicates using sign language. He also uses a cochlear implant that helps him detect noises, such as whistles and people calling for help. Keith received his junior lifeguard certification and then successfully completed lifeguard training. (A Michigan county provided a sign-language interpreter to relay verbal instructions to Keith during both training programs.)
Keith then applied for a lifeguard position at the county's wave pool, requesting that a sign-language interpreter be present to relay verbal directions during staff meetings. The county offered Keith the job, conditioned on his passing a pre-employment physical. The doctor failed him, citing his inability to hear. Plus, the county’s safety and risk management consultants expressed concerns over Keith being unable to do the job, despite numerous accommodations the county was offering. So the county rescinded the job offer. ... Read more: http://www.businessmanagementdaily.com/34432/would-a-deaf-lifeguard-be-qualified-under-the-ada
