The Regal Entertainment Group chain in the Washington, DC area is experimenting with wireless devices given selected patrons. The patrons, while watching movies, will click on the device to alert management to problems such as bad picture, audience disturbance, lousy sound or piracy (illegal taping of the film via camcorders, etc). The newspaper story which made that announcement said nothing about captions. Would the device have a captions button to alert management to disappearing or malfunctioning captions? ... Susan Scott-Parker, not deaf, and the CEO of the Employers' Forum in United Kingdom, keynoted a speech at a symposium of the disabled in Australia. Her speech touched on the "blind bus driver syndrome." It means that skeptical employers would challenge the need to hire the disabled, the deaf included by asking: Can you employ a blind bus driver?" When it applies to the deaf, such questions would surface, like: could the deaf drive? could the deaf read and write? could the deaf walk across the street? This thinking may be the reason why many employers do not want to hire the deaf. ... We, the deaf, wave our hands, instead of clapping when we applaud something. This culture of hand waving has been picked up by some people with the Capistrano Unified school board in California. The recent school board meeting was acrimonious, with opposite sides bickering with each other at the drop of the pin. One trustee stood up and asked all to wave, not applaud; while she was shot down by her opponents, moments later some people in the audience stood up and waved, just like us, the deaf. Who knows? Because of noise pollution, more hearing people will wave, not clap or shout. ... Effective with this edition, DeafDigest introduces a new weekly feature: Deaf Alternative History A hearing Alternative History is like this - What would happen if Lincoln was not shot? It is located below the DeafHistory - Looking Back section. There are no right or wrong answers in alternative history scenarius - both deaf and hearing. ...

  • New York Stars Stevens and Muriqi to Headline Havoc Boxing on November 20 at the Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn
    NEW YORK STARS STEVENS AND MURIQI TO HEADLINE HAVOC BOXING ON NOVEMBER 20 AT THE AVIATOR SPORTS COMPLEX IN BROOKLYN BROOKLYN, NY (November 10, 2010)—Two of the most recognizable names in the New York boxing scene in recent memory will headline a giant night of world class boxing on Saturday November 20th at the Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, New York World ranked Super Middleweight Curtis “Showtime” Stevens, and perennial Light Heavyweight contender Elvir Muriqi will headline the show that is promoted by Robert Diaz and Havoc Boxing Promotions. Stevens, of the boxing hotbed of the Brownsville section of Brooklyn is one of the most feared punchers in the Super Middleweight division and has a record of 21-3 with fifteen knockouts. Stevens started out his career as one of the most ballyhooed prospects in boxing as he racked up thirteen straight victories with eleven knockouts. After suffering a controversial stoppage defeat to veteran Marcos Primera, Stevens scored a eight round unanimous decision in the rematch that took place four months later. After winning four consecutive bouts, Stevens dropped a ten round unanimous decision to former U.S. Olympian Andre Dirrell in a bout that was shown on HBO. Stevens went on to win four consecutive bouts which included a three round pounding over then undefeated Piotr Wilczewski (22-0) in front of predominantly Polish crowd in Newark, New Jersey. In Stevens last bout, he came out strong before dropping a twelve round unanimous decision to former member of the Contender Jesse Brinkley (34-5) in an IBF title elimination bout on January 29 in Brinkley’s hometown of Reno, Nevada.

  • Brinkley Rises to the Occasion, Beats Stevens in Reno
    Brinkley Rises to the Occasion, Beats Stevens in Reno RENO, NEVADA — In the performance of his career, Jesse Brinkley weathered an early onslaught to outbox Curtis Stevens going away and claim the IBF #2 super middleweight ranking before his loyal fan base at the Grand Sierra Resort & Casino on Friday night. Stevens (21-3, 15 KOs) of Brownsville, New York surged out of his corner as was expected and put a hurt on Brinkley’s face in the first. A solid left hook early in the round knocked Brinkley’s mouthpiece three rows deep ringside. By the end of the first round, Brinkley (35-5, 22 KOs) of Yerington, Nevada, had a badly swollen right eye and looked to be in some serious trouble. By midway through the second round, Stevens, 165, was in complete control of the fight. Then Brinkley, 167 ½, turned boxer and it was a whole different ballgame. Surprisingly, Stevens let off the gas pedal completely in the third, and Brinkley began landing in combination. A Brinkley flurry with Stevens against the ropes brought the crowd into the fight, and the energy in the building carried through until long after the sound of the final bell. With the momentum now in Brinkley’s favor, the stage was set for one of the best rounds of the year thus far. Both fighters came out fast to start the fourth. Early in the round, both fighters decided to just stand in the middle of the ring and unleash bombs, with little to no regard for defense. While it was hard to decipher which fighter got the best of the exchange, it was Stevens that began to take a more measured approach.

  • Brinkley-Quillin Is On
    Brinkley-Quillin Is On RENO, NEVADA — Weeks of bargaining and negotiation culminated with some bad blood at Thursday’s weigh-in at the Silver Legacy Resort Casino, as hometown favorite and former title challenger Jesse Brinkley came in heavy for his Telefutura-televised bout with undefeated prospect Peter Quillin, which takes place down the street at the Reno Events Center tonight. After deliberation between the two camps, the intriguing crossroads fight will go on as scheduled with the vacant USBO Super Middleweight title at stake. Brinkley (35-6, 22 KOs) of nearby Yerington, Nevada is coming off a ninth-round stoppage defeat to Lucian Bute in a failed attempt and claiming the IBF 168-pound crown last October. The loss ended a properly matched nine-fight win streak highlighted by an upset decision win over Curtis Stevens last January in Reno. Brinkley’s run to a title shot was as unlikely as one could be if you think about where he was back in 2007, having lost four of five fights. With a win over Quillin, Brinkley is instantly back in the mix at super middleweight, but a loss could mean the end of his viability as a contender. Quillin (23-0, 17 KOs) of Hollywood, California does not have a resume littered with big names, but he has beaten everyone he has been in the ring with to this point. Brinkley represents a step-up in competition for Quillin, who wants to campaign at 160-pounds after tonight’s fight. Quillin last fought just over two months ago, as he quite easily dispatched journeyman Dennis Sharpe inside of four rounds in Fairfield, California.

  • Thunder Set to Explode Apr. 27 WBO Middleweight Champion Peter Quillin 1St Title Defense Vs
    ‘Kid Chocolate’ Thunder Set to Explode Apr. 27 WBO Middleweight Champion Peter Quillin 1st Title Defense vs. Fernando Guerrero LOS ANGELES (March 26, 2013) – World Boxing Organization (WBO) middleweight champion Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin (28-0, 20 KOs) puts his title belt and unbeaten record on the line April 27 in his much-anticipated first world title defense against challenger Fernando Guerrero (25-1, 19 KOs) at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Quillin was originally schedule to defend against Guerrero on February 9, however, the entire show was postponed due to an injury suffered by headliner Danny Garcia. Fighting once again on Showtime Championship Boxing, Quillin vs. Guerrero could steal the thunder from Garcia and his challenger, Zab Judah, as Quillin did last October in the same venue against previously undefeated WBO title-holder Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam, who was floored six times and eventually lost a 12-round decision (115-107, 115-107, 115-107), as well as his WBO crown. The powerful Quillin, who now lives in New York City (Manhattan) but trains for fights in Los Angeles, returns home to fight again in Brooklyn where he lived for several years. “I’m fortunate to have my fight shown around the world through Showtime and to be going back to fight in New York City where I built my name,” Quillin said. “There’s not too much else in my thought process other than working hard to defend my title belt. Everyone will see me at my best on April 27th because every camp is about getting better.

  • Stakes Are Higher Than Ever As Manfredo Jr., Spina Prepare for Long-Awaited Rematch
    Stakes are higher than ever as Manfredo Jr., Spina prepare for long-awaited rematch PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Feb. 12th, 2013) — More than six years have passed since Peter Manfredo Jr. knocked out fellow Providence native Joey Spina on national television at The Dunkin’ Donuts Center in what was, at the time, Rhode Island’s biggest turf war. As they prepare to face one another again Friday, March 15th, 2013 at the Twin River Event Center in the latest chapter of their longstanding rivalry, both Spina (26-3-2, 18 KOs) and Manfredo Jr. (38-7, 20 KOs) are dealing with the fact there’s much more at stake now than there was the first time they fought in 2006. The pressure’s higher than ever; Manfredo Jr., now on his second fight since returning to professional boxing in November, will turn 33 later this year, while Spina, coming off consecutive losses for the first time in his career, is 35. Time is no longer an ally, and a loss March 15th could derail both fighters in what is shaping up to be their final run at championship glory. The Spina-Manfredo Jr. II showdown, promoted by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment & Sports and appropriately titled, “Unfinished Business,” will be fought at a catch weight of 170 pounds as the 10-round main event of a spectacular card at Twin River, which also features the return of heavyweight Jesse Barboza and the Rhode Island-debut of female bantamweight Noemi Bosques. “The first fight between these two local heroes was the talk of the town six years ago, and the latest installment of this rivalry promises to be even bigger than ever,” Burchfield said.
