>> JANET: GOOD MORNING.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.

HTTP://WWW.STREAMTEXT.NET/TEXT.ASPX?EVENT=JANETSPLANET.
IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAPTIONING OR YOU WANT A COPY OF THE TRANSCRIPT, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH ME.
I'M SANDY.
I'M AT INFO@YOURCAPTIONER.COM.
THANK YOU.
>> JANET: ALL RIGHT, SANDY.
SO IT'S YOU AND ME TODAY.
WE'VE GOT SOME INTERESTING TOPICS TO GO OVER.
LET ME FIRST SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR SPONSORS.
FIRST OF ALL, TOTAL RECALL, INFO@YOURCAPTIONER.COM.
THANK YOU, SANDY.
>> GUEST: YOU'RE WELCOME.
AND ALSO TO THE DISABILITY FOUNDATION, HAND PLATE, AND NEIJING CLINIC OF EASTERN MEDICINE.
DR. RAUL RAMIREZ WHO BY THE WAY GOT MARRIED THE WEDNESDAY BEFORE NEW YEAR'S.
CONGRATULATIONS TO DR. RAMIREZ.
LET'S SEE.
I THINK AND I MENTIONED I WAS GOING TO BE SETTING UP AN E‑MAIL FOR THE SHOW TO ‑‑ JUST FOR QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SHOW OR YOU WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT.
I BELIEVE IT'S NJANET'SPLANET.COM.
>> WE'VE HAD SOME LOSSES.
>> SOME OF YOU PROBABLY SUFFERED SOME LOSSES OUT THERE TOO AND WE HAD THIS AWFUL THING IN SAN DIEGO AND JUST I THINK WE NEED TO WORK SOME OF THESE THINGS BETTER THAN THAT.
I HAD ORIGINALLY NOT PLANNED TO DO A SHOW TODAY BUT SOME THINGS CAME UP, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO COME IN AND DO A SHOW.
I APPRECIATE YOU BEING PATIENT WITH ME TAKING OFF FOR THE FIRST WEDNESDAY.
BUT I HAVE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S ON THE AGENDA TODAY IS THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES WILL BE AT OUR MEETING TODAY.
WE WILL BE DISCUSSING, AMONG OTHER THINGS, PERHAPS CHANGING OF THE BLUE PLACARDS TO YELLOW PLACARDS FOR PARATRANSIT.
THERE'S BEEN SOME ABUSE BY PLACARDS OF SOME OF THE DRIVERS OF THE PARATRANSIT.
THE OTHER ITEM THAT'S GOING TO BE ON THE AGENDA IS GOING TO BE THE COUNTY ‑‑ THIS IS ITEM 3 ON THE COUNTY'S AGENDA WHICH WOULD BE THE L.A. COUNTY OPERATIONS AREA EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN.
ACCESS AND FUNCTIONAL NEEDS ANNEX.
THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE PART OF THE EMERGENCY EVACUATION PLAN IN CASE WE HAVE AN EARTHQUAKE OR SOME MAJOR DISASTER FOR THE EVACUATION SAFELY OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES WHO FOR ‑‑ APPARENTLY THERE WAS A LAWSUIT, AND SO THE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES APPARENTLY WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS PLAN.
SO THEY HAD TO GO BACK AND DO IT OVER AGAIN SO NOW INSTEAD OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES THEY'VE DECIDED TO CALL US PEOPLE WITH ACCESS OF FUNCTIONAL NEEDS.
THERE WAS A HEARING THE END OF DECEMBER, AND THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR ME TO GET EVERYTHING TOGETHER AND FOR INFORMATION TO BE DISSEMINATED TO THE COMMUNITY SO THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED.
TODAY IS WHY I'M TELLING YOU ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I NEED TO GET SOME INPUT FROM THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE LISTENING HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING REFERRED TO AS ACCESS AND FUNCTIONAL NEEDS GROUP.
I THINK THAT THEY'RE MISSING THE BOAT.
THEY'RE SAYING THAT THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND FEMA ARE USING THIS AS A TERM TO DESCRIBE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.
BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY AFTER EDUCATING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES FOR SO LONG TO THIS THING, AND ALSO THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT, WHY YOU NEED TO CHANGE IT.
IT'S NOT BROKEN.
YOU DON'T NEED TO FIX IT.
THEY ARE LUMPING US IN WITH SOME OTHER GROUPS THAT I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT EITHER.
THERE WAS ‑‑ SOMETHING ABOUT INSTITUTIONALIZED AND I THINK I'M GOING TO DIRECT YOU TO 211 OR TO THE COUNTY'S WEBSITE SO YOU CAN READ THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT, THE DOCUMENT THAT I WAS READING IS OVER A HUNDRED PAGES AND IT'S THE INTERNAL WORKING DOCUMENT, AND UNFORTUNATELY I WENT OFF AND LEFT MY NOTES ON THIS ITEM.
SO THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DO LIVE RADIO.
BUT I THINK THE WAY I READ IT, IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF US ARE GOING TO BE LEFT OUT OR FEEL WE'RE GOING TO BE LEFT OUT.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE PROGRESSION OF THE TERMINOLOGY OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.
IF YOU THINK BACK THEY USED TO BE CALEED AS CRIPPLED PEOPLE.
I THINK DEFINING PEOPLE BY FUNCTION IS INCORRECT.
DID YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT, SANDY?
I KNOW WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT.
>> GUEST: RIGHT.
WE WERE COMING FROM THE SAME PLACE.
IF THEY WANT AN AGENDA FOR TODAY, I'VE GOT THE WEBSITE.
IT'S RIGHT HERE ON MY COMPUTER IN FRONT OF ME.
AND IT'S HTTP://LACCOD.ORG/AGENDA.
>> JANET: THANK YOU.
WHAT THEY'RE DOING ‑‑ THE OTHER PART OF IT IS THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT INSTITUTIONALIZED PEOPLE, PEOPLE THAT DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH, CHILDREN, A LOT OF THINGS THAT THEY'RE LUMPING TOGETHER.
TO ME THEY DON'T WANT TO BE BOTHERED WITH US SO THEY LUMPED US ALL TOGETHER.
WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT INSTITUTIONALIZED PEOPLE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TWIN TOWERS AND NORWALK STATE.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT COUNTY, USC.
THE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES THAT I HAVE SPOKEN WITH FEEL LEFT OUT OF THIS, AND WHEN I MENTIONED THE TERM ACCESS AND FUNCTIONAL NEEDS IN A COMMITTEE MEETING WE HAD ‑‑ THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED WAS THE PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES WERE TOTALLY CONFUSED AND DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE WAY TOO MUCH WORK TO TRY TO EDUCATE PEOPLE TO THIS TERMINOLOGY.
I NEED FOR YOU GUYS TO GIVE SOME INPUT.
YOU CAN CALL OUR OFFICE AT 213‑974‑1053 OR YOU CAN CALL ME TODAY RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW.
IT'S REALLY, REALLY VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.
>> ALSO I WANTED TO BRING UP THE FACT THAT THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES IS ONCE AGAIN TRYING TO SQUASH THE DEPARTMENT ON DISABILITY, AND THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE.
THE TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR THE DEPARTMENT ON DISABILITY IS 213‑202‑2764.
I THINK YOU SHOULD ALSO ‑‑ AND I'M GOING TO HAVE SOME NUMBERS FOR YOU AT THE NEXT BROADCAST NEXT MONTH ‑‑ I THINK YOU SHOULD CALL THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AND I THINK YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND ASK THEM WHAT'S THE DEAL.
IF THEY DISSOLVE THE DEPARTMENT ON DISABILITY WHEN ‑‑ BECAUSE IT'S NOT IF WE HAVE A DISASTER.
THE TWO THINGS I'M TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE THEY'RE CONNECTED.
WHO'S GOING TO LOOK OUT FOR US IF THERE'S NO DEPARTMENT OF DISABILITY.
THE PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT, I DON'T THINK SO.
I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE THE SKILLS FOR IT.
THEY DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO DEAL WITH THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DISABILITIES OR IDENTIFY WHERE THESE PEOPLE MIGHT BE IN AN EMERGENCY.
WHEN YOU HAVE A DISASTER LIKE THAT, AND I'M TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING SIMILAR TO KATRINA WHERE WE HAVE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES THAT DON'T HAVE MEDICATIONS, AND STUFF, AND I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THEY PLAN ON DOING WHEN PEOPLE DON'T FEEL INCLUDED IN THE PLAN AND DON'T KNOW WHERE TO CALL.
I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WANTED TO SAY ABOUT THAT.
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD ON THAT, SANDY?
>> GUEST: WELL, I DO HAVE THE DOCUMENT.
I FOUND OUT IF ANYONE WANTS TO GRAB A PEN, AND WRITE DOWN THIS WEB ADDRESS.
YOU CAN PULL UP THE DOCUMENT.
I THINK IT'S 125 PAGES.
>> JANET: YEAH, IT IS.
>> GUEST: LACOA.ORG/MISC/ANNEX%20PUBCOMM.DOC.
AND THE WHOLE DOCUMENT IS THERE.
>> JANET: THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN.
>> GUEST: SURE.
>> JANET: CAN'T DO THIS WITHOUT YOU.
I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, AND GIVE YOUR HONEST OPINION.
I'M GOING TO BE COLLECTING INFORMATION EITHER THROUGH THE COMMISSION OR FROM THE STATION OR HOWEVER YOU CAN TRANSMIT IT.
WE NEED YOUR INPUT, AND I HOPE THAT YOU GUYS WILL ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS.
IT'S REALLY VERY IMPORTANT THAT NO ONE FEEL LEFT OUT.
ALL OF THE PEOPLE I TALK TO FEEL LEFT OUT.
I THINK THAT'S GOING TO COMPOUND THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM IF THERE'S NO DEPARTMENT ON DISABILITY.
THE NEXT THING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT AND LET ME GIVE OUT THE PHONE NUMBER FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF DISABILITY.
213‑202‑2764.
THEY CAN REALLY USE A PHONE CALL OF SUPPORT.
I'M HOPING SOME OF YOU WILL DO THAT.
THIS IS A CONSOLIDATION VOTE CITY COUNCIL VOTED ON THIS YESTERDAY.
THIS IS HOT OFF THE PRESS.
NEXT MONTH ALSO I'M PLANNING BECAUSE IT WILL BE OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE SHOW BEING CAPTIONED.
THANK YOU, SANDY, SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME WITH THIS.
I COULDN'T HAVE PULLED IT OFF WITHOUT YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP FOR BRINGING ALL THIS INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC.
I HAVE ANOTHER SURPRISE.
THAT THE SHOW IS NOW AVAILABLE ON DVD.
>> GUEST: THAT'S GREAT.
NOW ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT A COPY OF IT.
ALSO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AUDIO OF THE COUNTY COMMISSION MEETINGS.
THAT'S COMING UP REAL SOON.
WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH ALL OF THESE THINGS.
I'M HOPING IT WILL PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION FOR YOU GUYS SO YOU FEEL INCLUDED IN THIS COMMUNITY WE HAVE HERE OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.
AGAIN, NEXT MONTH IS BLACK HISTORY MONTH, AND I WILL BE DOING A TRIBUTE TO TOM BRADLEY, AND I'LL BE TAKING UP THIS ISSUE ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT OF DISABILITY AND HOW DISRESPECTFUL I THINK IT IS TO THE MEMORY OF TOM BRADLEY.
ALSO WE HAD A BIRTHDAY OF DR. KING, AND I REALLY WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE KINGDOM DAY PARADE.
BUT I WAS REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE COVERAGE, THE MEDIA COVERAGE.
USUALLY WHAT I SEE IN THE MEDIA, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT I ALWAYS SEE WITH YOUNG PEOPLE IS THE NEGATIVE STUFF.
WE SEE THEM CARRIED AWAY ON A GURNEY.
WE SEE THEM ARRESTED.
TURNING OVER CARS, AND LOTS OF THE OTHER NEGATIVE THINGS BUT THIS PARADE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT HAD WORKED REALLY HARD THAT I THINK DON'T GET ENOUGH CREDIT FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING.
THE DRILL TEAMS, THE BANDS, THE FLOATS AND WE WERE LISTENING TO THE COMMENTATORS KIBBITZ HOW AWFUL IT WAS IN THE RAIN LAST YEAR.
BUT I'D BE INTERESTED IN SOME FEEDBACK ON THAT TOO.
BUT I HOPE EVERYBODY HAD A GOOD KINGDOM DAY.
I DID A LOT OF REFLECTION, AND REDEDICATED MYSELF TO THIS ‑‑ MY COMMITMENT TO THE PEOPLE OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY WITH THIS RADIO SHOW AND WITH THE COMMISSION.
I KNOW MY INVOLVEMENT IN GOVERNMENT IS MY COMMITMENT TO SERVICE WHICH I THINK IS WHAT IT WAS ABOUT AND ALSO ABOUT INCLUSION.
SO I'M HOPING THAT IN THE FUTURE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES WILL CONTINUE TO BE INCLUDED IN ALL OF THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON IN THIS BIG GREAT COUNTRY.
ALSO, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT FITNESS AGAIN.
I WANT TO ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO GO TO YOUR LOCAL GYM EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE ONE I GO TO.
YOU CAN CALL MR. THOMAS BROOKS.
310‑703‑5605.
I'M MENTIONING THIS AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS THE SPECTRUM CLUB.
I LIKE THE MEMBERS THERE AND I APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT I GET FROM THEM.
THEY GIVE ME IDEAS AND WE HAVE NEW LISTENERS.
ONE IS CICI AND LOUISE WHO'S A FRIEND OF THE ORIGINAL BLACK FIREFIGHTERS IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES, AND BEVERLY GALLOWAY.
IN THIS TIME OF REFLECTION AND RECOMMITMENT I MENTIONED BEVERLY GALLOWAY, AND SHE WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN BEING ABLE TO ACQUIRE SOME OF THE SKILLS I HAVE.
SHE WAS ABLE TO HELP ME FIND A DOCTOR THAT WAS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE MY EHLERS‑DANLOS SYNDROME.
I WANTED TO MENTION HARLEY RUBENSTEIN WHO IS A COMMISSIONER ON THE COMMISSION OF DISABILITY.
HARLEY HAS BEEN A LITTLE BIT SICK, AND I'M HOPING IF I MENTION THIS, AND SOME OF YOU KNOW HARLEY, WILL GIVE HIM A JINGLE.
HE'S CONVALESCING IN A CONVALESCENT HOSPITAL.
>> AND MICHAEL GURECKAS IS SICK TOO.
>> I'D LIKE TO THANK MY VICE PRESIDENT JOHN TROOST.
I WANTED TO MENTION A DEPUTY SHERIFF MOHAMMED AHMED WHO GOT A SERIOUS HEAD WOUND OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND I HOPE HE GETS BETTER AND I WANT HIM TO KNOW WHEN HE GETS READY TO GO BACK TO HIS JOB AS A DEPUTY SHERIFF IF HE PASSES ALL OF THE TESTS AND STUFF, HE CAN COUNT ON THE COUNTY COMMISSION TO SUPPORT HIM ON THAT.
>> ALSO I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE COMPLAINTS FOR TRANSPORTATION.
I MENTIONED EARLIER WE'RE HAVING DMV COME IN AND TO TALK TO US OR PLAN OR STRATEGIZE WHAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO ABOUT GETTING THE PARATRANSITS TO HAVE ONLY YELLOW PLACARDS INSTEAD OF THE BLUE ONES SO THEY'LL STOP ABUSING THE SPACES.
I'VE HAD A REAL NICE CONVERSATION WITH THE WATCH COMMANDER IN CULVER CITY, AND WITH THE PARKING ‑‑ THE CHIEF OF THE PARKING ENFORCEMENT IN CULVER CITY, AND BROUGHT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM TO THEIR ATTENTION SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE WATCHING OUT.
I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES OF TWO VANS, PARATRANSIT VANS, IN TWO DIFFERENT PARTS OF LA COUNTY WHERE THERE WAS A LOT OF ARROGANCE WITH THE DRIVER.
I KNOW ONE OF THE DRIVERS WAS ASKED TO MOVE AND REFUSED.
CAN'T PARK THOSE VANS IN A HANDICAPPED PARKING SPACE, AND SIT THERE OR GET OUT OF THE VAN, AND LEAVE IT.
IT'S ILLEGAL FOR YOU TO DO THAT AND IT'S ALSO ILLEGAL FOR ANYBODY WITHOUT A PLACARD TO PARK THERE, AND ON THE BLUE STRIPED PART THAT'S A VERY BIG TICKET.
VERY BIG TICKET, SO SANDY, YOU HAVEN'T DONE THAT, HAVE YOU?
>> GUEST: I NEVER DO THAT.
ARE YOU KIDDING?
>> JANET: WELL, I'VE SEEN ‑‑ THE LAST VEHICLE I SAW THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN WAS AN ARMORED CAR.
THAT WAS FUN.
>> GUEST: YEAH.
IT JUST AMAZES ME THAT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
>> JANET: I THINK THEY UNDERSTAND.
I THINK THEY DON'T ‑‑ SOMETIMES THEY DON'T THINK, AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T CARE.
BUT I THINK IN THIS SITUATION THE ARMORED CAR DRIVER REALLY JUST WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION, AND I FELT LIKE, YOU KNOW, THAT IMAGE THAT WE HAVE OF THE TIENENMANN SQUARE, THAT'S THE WAY I FELT.
>> STANDING IN FRONT OF THE ARMORED CAR I JUST STOOD THERE AND THERE WAS ANOTHER LADY THAT WAS TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE SPACE BECAUSE THE SPACE WAS BLOCKED WITH THE ARMORED CAR SO I STOOD IN FRONT OF THE ARMORED CAR, WITH MY PLACARD AND HE BACKED UP.
SO I WAS REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
MOVING ON.
I WANTED TO ALSO MENTION THAT THE COMMISSION AND THIS RADIO SHOW WE'RE ALSO LOOKING FOR SPONSORS.
ANY OF THAT YOU ARE PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN SPONSORING THE SHOW, WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU, AND ANYTHING THAT YOU DO FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSION WOULD BE CONSIDERED A DONATION TO A NONPROFIT SO IT WOULD BE TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
SO WE NEED DONATIONS FOR THE CAPTIONING AND DONATIONS FOR THE LUNCHEON.
WE ARE CONSIDERING INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF FUNDS THAT WE GIVE OUT AT THE LUNCHEON TO INSTEAD OF DOING JUST FIVE RECIPIENTS WE WANT TO DO 10 AND EXTEND THE OPPORTUNITY SINCE THE ECONOMY IS SO BAD HOPING THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO RAISE SOME MORE MONEY.
I ALSO WANTED TO MAKE MENTION OF SOMETHING ELSE I HEARD ON THE NEWS TODAY ABOUT HUGH JACKSON.
I DON'T KNOW HIM, PERSONALLY KNOW HIM.
I UNDERSTAND HE PLAYED FOOTBALL AT DORSEY HIGH SCHOOL.
YEAH DORSEY, AND HE'S BEEN HIRED BY THE RAIDERS WHICH I THINK IS A VERY GOOD MOVE ON THE PART OF THE RAIDERS.
>> AND LET'S SEE, I ALSO THOUGHT ABOUT ‑‑ WE TALKED BEFORE ALL THIS STUFF THAT'S GOING AT THE AIRPORT AND AIRPORT SECURITY AND STUFF LIKE THAT, AND I HEAR THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE CHOOSING NOT TO FLY BECAUSE THEY WANT TO CHARGE YOU FOR BLANKETS AND PILLOWS, AND PEANUTS AND NEXT THEY'LL PROBABLY PUT A COIN BOX ON THE BATHROOM ON THE AIRPLANE.
I THOUGHT I WOULD SUGGEST RATHER THAN GOING AND TAKING A TRIP SOMEWHERE WHY DON'T YOU GO SOMEPLACE LOCALLY IN L.A..
THERE ARE LOTS OF NICE PLACES IN L.A. COUNTY.
INSTEAD OF TAKING AN AIRPLANE TRIP, TAKE A CAR TRIP.
INSTEAD OF PAYING THE DINNER AT THE HOTEL OUT OF STATE WHY NOT DO IT HERE?
I THINK THAT WOULD PROBABLY HELP OUR ECONOMY.
I KNOW SANDY AND I DID THAT LAST WEEK AND WE WENT TO CHINA TOWN.
>> GUEST: THAT WAS A REALLY LONG TRIP FROM ONE SIDE OF DOWNTOWN TO THE OTHER.
TOOK ABOUT TWO MINUTES.
>> JANET: IT'S ONE OF THOSE LITTLE THINGS WHERE PEOPLE GOING TO A TOURISTY PLACE LIKE CHINA TOWN, AND LITTLE TOKYO, AND LITTLE BANGLADESH, AND LITTLE ETHIOPIA, AND ALL THESE PLACES IT BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER WHEN YOU GO AND SEE SOMEBODY THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM YOU.
>> GUEST: DOWNTOWN HAS GOTTEN A LOT MORE FUN IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES THAN IT USED TO BE.
>> JANET: CHINA TOWN HAS BEEN SUCH A BLEAK PLACE, AND SO DESERTED THAT IT WAS KIND OF NICE TO GO AND SEE THE DECORATIONS THAT THEY HAD, AND THEY HAD THOSE BEAUTIFUL LANTERNS UP.
>> GUEST: THAT WAS REALLY NICE.
>> JANET: I HAD A GOOD TIME, AND I ENJOYED YOUR COMPANY, SANDY.
>> GUEST: ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR COMPANY, JANET.
>> JANET: I THINK WE LOST SANDY.
I'M SURE SHE'LL BE BACK.
AT ANY RATE, IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THE THINGS THAT I HAVE TALKED ABOUT TODAY I THINK YOU GUYS KNOW HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME AT 310‑674‑5896.
OR YOU CAN CALL ME DOWNTOWN AT 213‑974‑1053.
ARE YOU BACK, SANDY?
>> GUEST: I'M HERE.
I GUESS MY HEADSET HAD GIVEN OUT.
>> JANET: I WAS GETTING SOME STATIC.
I SAW RUBIN WILDLY TURNING KNOBS.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS ON LIVE RADIO AND TV.
AND I KNOW LAST BROADCAST SOMETHING HAPPENED, AND THE CAPTIONING DIDN'T ‑‑ COULDN'T GO OUT BECAUSE SOMETHING HAPPENED.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.
WE JUST KIND OF MOVE ALONG.
>> AND LET'S SEE, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT I MISSED, SANDY?
>> GUEST: REMEMBER I WAS DISCUSSING WITH YOU CAPTIONING IN SPANISH.
>> JANET: YES.
>> GUEST: I'LL MENTION THAT VERY BRIEFLY.
I HAD A REQUEST BECAUSE WE DO A LOT OF CAPTIONING IN SCHOOLS AND I HAD A MOTHER CONTACT ME WHO JUST LONG STORY SHORT THERE IS SOME CAPTIONING BEING PROVIDED FOR HER DAUGHTER IN HER SPANISH CLASS.
BUT IT'S COMING OUT OF PERU OVER THE INTERNET.
AND COME TO FIND OUT THERE'S NOBODY THAT'S TEACHING SPANISH STENOGRAPHY, SPANISH CAPTIONING IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES, AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE PROVISION OF THIS SERVICE.
THERE'S SOME PROVISION FOR BROADCAST.
VERY LITTLE FOR OTHER NEEDS SUCH AS STUDENTS WHO'RE TAKING SPANISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE, DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING, WHICH IS A WHOLE LOT OF STUDENTS.
THEY TAKE FOREIGN LANGUAGES TOO.
SO IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING.
I'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND TALKED TO A NUMBER OF PEOPLE, AND I HAVE A LITTLE THINK TANK THAT WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER.
AND IF YOU HAVE ANY FEEDBACK ABOUT THIS YOU'RE WELCOME TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME.
AGAIN, IT'S INFO@YOURCAPTIONER.COM.
MY COMPANY IS CALLED TOTAL RECALL CAPTIONING.
>> JANET: SOUNDS LIKE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FUTURE.
>> GUEST: ONE WOULD HOPE SO.
IT AMAZES ME WHERE THIS POPULATION IS GOING TO HIT 50% LATINO IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS THAT THERE'S NOBODY REALLY HARDLY INVOLVED IN THIS.
>> JANET: I'M HEARING MY THEME SONG.
I GUESS THAT MEANS IT'S TIME TO GO.
I'LL SEE YOU GUYS NEXT MONTH FIRST WEDNESDAY, ON JANET'S PLANET.
>> WHO'S CAPTIONING FOR US TODAY?
>> GUEST: GAY.
THANK YOU, GAY.
>> JANET: THANK YOU GAY.
PLEASE TYPE THAT IN.
THANK YOU GAY.
I'LL SEE YOU NEXT MONTH.
