FCC and Closed Caption

FCC and Closed Caption link to video

Please share with others and support closed caption on TV Programs...

You can click on "blog this" I don't mind you can click on it anytime.

I am adding some words for you, people...

Action Alert:
Concerns about TV closed captioning.
Hello, my name is Don Lee Hanaumi
with an important announcement from NAD, TDI
and other deaf and hard-of-hearing advocacy groups.
As a deaf person
I turn on the TV and expect
all programs to be captioned.
Today, I turn on the TV and still see
many programs not captioned, right?
Last week, the FCC approved many,
many-- about requests so far
for new TV programs to be shown
without closed captions.
Imagine that?!
We must protest this FCC decision.
We must tell the FCC to
support closed captioning.
What happened?
On September 12,
the FCC announced publicly
that two TV programs do not need
to be closed captioned.
This is the first time the FCC approved
no closed captions, permanently.
Worse, the FCC said that it is more
likely to approve requests
made by TV programs for
those reasons:
1. When the TV programs is
produced by a non-profit organization;
2. When the organization receives nothing
in exchange for their TV program
or when they need
to pay broadcast their program;
3. When the organization says
the cost for closed captioning
will result in reducing or stopping their
TV program or other important activities.
We deaf and hard-of-hearing
advocacy groups also learned
that the FCC has actually received
approximately 550 requests to date
for approval to be excused from
captioning their TV programs.
Worse, we learned that the FCC
has already approved
approximately 300 of those requests
for no captions.
Most of these requests were
not put on public notice.
We, the deaf and
hard-of-hearing consumers
did not get an opportunity to comment
about these requests for no captions.
Did the FCC violate tje
closed-captioning rules? We wonder.
What can you do?
Important:
We, the deaf and hard-of-hearing,
want the FCC chairman to stand strong
and not weaken the closed-captioning
rules for TV programs.
We do not want the FCC to make
a new category of TV programs
that can be excused from
the closed-captioning rules.
Without FCC support
of closed captioning
hundreds of other TV programs
may expect to be excused
from closed captioning rules.
We are losing trust in the
TV industry and in the FCC.
We cannot afford for our hard-fought
closed-captioning rules
to be bent even a little!
All shows should be captioned, period!
The closed-captioning rules
have been around years.
They are not new rules;
they are not a surprise!
It's time for the TV industry
and the FCC to wake up
and realize we are important!
First, we must make sure to tell the
FCC chairman and the commission
to stand by consumers and
reverse their decision.
How?
We must contact the FCC
to protest the decision
to grant permanent waivers
for closed captions.
Call FCC chairman Kevin Martin, now!
Phone (202) 418-1000, voice number.
Call through relay service.
When you call, tell him
three important things;
1. I am angry
and I protest the FCC's apporval to
excuse TV captioning requirements!
No show should be on TV
without captions!
Why?
2. I cannot watch TV programs
that are not captioned.
3. FCC must reverse their decision
and support deaf and hard-of-hearing consumers
and support closed captioning on all TV programs!
Call now.
Thank you!

Have a nice day and night!

Jeremy

April Showers

April Showers bring a close to According to Mr. Egghead. With Marion still missing in action the wind went out of the sails and the cast and crew lost intrest in posting here. The space was created for me by Sassene and we invited Marion and Heidi to participate in the light hearted experimental Space. I do not plan on taking the space down until we have contact with Marion. Sassene, Heidi, and I still maintain our personal spaces and may be found there, as well as contributing editors at FLYING MONKEYS MSN Spaces Online International New World News. http://spaces.msn.com/flyingmonkeyshome/ We are waiting for Marion to come in from the cold and shall welcome her with open hearts and arms. As ever be well. With love, Sassene, Heidi, and Stephen

VIEW FROM THE WALL...SPRING 2006

Looking over the wall, I wonder. Sassene has not been well and has not felt like blogging but is still about and getting better every day. ( the master trickster, prankster, and joy that she is!). Marion, I fear is missing in action, where ever that may be, though she is in our thoughts and prayers. Do hope she has come in from the cold and that she has found shelter from the storm. Heidi is busy with family and pets, and pets and family and.......I have been recovering from surgery. As Stan would say to Ollie, " A fine mess, you have gotten us into now!" Then again, it is a joy to be about. As ever be well.

These Shoes

Sat, 11 Feb 2006 22:02:18 GMT

These shoes...

if they could take me anywhere where would they go?

Lessons learned in time no longer guide me

I only have these shoes.

They've travelled 45 years.

Brought me to the war zone.

And I have moved past the eye of the storm ~ not untouched.

Battletorn again.

Worn out again.

Reduced again.

Again and again.

These soles are wearing out my soul.

A safe home. Warm bed. Something to hold onto.

Sanctuary that I seek keeps me moving on

In these shoes...

Lost Sheep, Feb. 11, 2006

About this day

Mon, 06 Feb 2006 08:09:31 GMT

In the dawn of this new day I woke,

alone and dreamy in grey morning mist

and shivered only slightly

for rather than reaching to the sky

I had reached out instead.

And heaven answered.

This evening as I sit in the eye of the storm

watching angry gods war

I wrap myself in the glow of the new day mist memory.

Untouched by storm's violence.

Lost Sheep. Feb. 6, 2006

View From The Wall: Entry 3. All The Kings Horses
Happy Chinese New Year Of The Dog! Whew, what a week it has been.....Well, I would like to welcome The Smiths 3 to msn spaces http://spaces.msn.com/thesmiths3/
Though I have an uncanny feeling that The Smiths are no strangers to Spaces and the quality of work and words is hauntingly familar. Hmmm. Getting used to the new changes in spaces is mildly amusing for a novice computer user and hope the changes are for the better. Moving on.....Where is Marion? What is she doing? Who put up the clown pic of Mr. Egghead? Bad enough that my dear friends cast me as a transvestite !!!!!!!!!
But a Clown? Dear me! What is next, I can only wonder. That wonder is part of the joy and humor that is intended to spark and inspire as well as entertain. All the Kings horses and all the Kings men will never ever put me together again as I rise and become a part of the All. Over easy, and out! Be well. Mr. Egghead

The Love Letter

Mon, 23 Jan 2006 08:34:14 GMT

Golly! The Lost Sheep was right!!

It was only a matter of time before Stephanie would steal Stephen away from us.

It just doesn't make any sense!!

How can Stephanie be real, and exist if it is Stephen's alter personality?

I was going through Stephen's desk drawer to look for more pictures to post on this space...

Guess what I found?

A love picture of Stephen and Stephanie!

Not only that but an actual love letter that was dated today?!

Maybe there was a Stephanie after all, but Stephen didn't want us to know...

See picture and read the love letter for yourself, and tell me if I am imagining things?

Just being silly can be a good thing!

Mon, 23 Jan 2006 02:29:18 GMT

Sassene has a pair of big heart shaped sunglasses. They made me laugh the first time I saw them. So I bought a pair and waited until I thought that Sassy could use a good laugh. I did not know she was making screen shots. The little trickster got me again! As ever be well. Stephen

January 22 2:56 PM

It is not always easy to keep a straight face especially when an old man the likes of Stephen do silly things. I'd like to think that I look good in my heart shaped sunglasses. I think it suits me well, hahaha.... ~Sassene

View From The Wall: Sea In The Storm

Marion, my heart falls in salt filled tears that scar my face for your loss upon the sea. That brave free man took it upon himself to be, of and beyond the wind, the winds and the Sea that is his life, that took him back . But for a moment to Ever Be in the Winds and of the Seas that sweep the Earth in a moments bless. That captures all, in a glance, of the wild hair waving, the rage in a quiet smile, and the knowing, with the look in the eyes. Then that silent, unspoken, pause that says all. Yes, my friend, you are of me, for me, ever a bit of me in my passing, my dreams, my being. For there is only the All. Have always been and ever will be as near and dear as the seas that we have come, and the seas that surround us like Star Dust that we all shall become from whence we came, and then again shall ever be.

I touch your brow in silence, with a soft kiss and a brush of my wing.

Conversation between Lost Sheep and Stephen and his alter ego Stephanie

Tue, 17 Jan 2006 08:42:31 GMT

Lost Sheep says:

Nice nose job. I guess that's what you can do when you're an 80-something rich bitch

How many jobs did you have to do to afford that?

Stephanie! Have you been burying rich customers again?

Stephanie says:

Well, it all started when I shaved my eyebrows by mistake. I was drunk. And missed my moustache. Thank god I did not cut off my nose

To spite my face.

Lost Sheep says:

Are you sure?

Someone did! It's been spited! Just for smite. Or you've been smited Stephanie! Smited for spite. Either that... or, or you're just covering up for the latest garden job. What IS growing under the lilies these days? Hmmmm?

Is there someone under there that we don't know about?!

Stephanie! How can you get repeat customers if you keep burying them in the garden?

Stephanie says:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Lost Sheep says:

They are dirty boys, but really...

Stephanie says:

The garden is all. From there is all.

stephen says:

The garden does not hide, or bury, nor is the well, for the well is asunder and springs eternal

Lost Sheep says:

Yeah, all of them who disappear after they have their dates with Stephanie. Stephen - did you read the FULL details of Stephanie's profile

stephen says:

Rapidly. I was laughing as I read.

Lost Sheep says:

Perhaps you missed a detail? Under, say... hobbies and interests...

stephen says:

Yes.

Lost Sheep says:

ok. just checking. We don't want you getting a bad reputation

stephen says:

hahahhahaaaaa

Lost Sheep says:

we have to work with you, ya know

stephen says:

What an ugly girl I make. Nice bod though.....

stephen says:

Well cant always judge a book by its nose!

Lost Sheep says:

No doubt. Perhaps that's why you got smited for spite.
