YOU HERE?  
GUEST:  I'M HERE JANET.  
GUEST:  I'M GREAT.  
HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY.  
JANET:  I THINK IT'S TOO EARLY.  I DIDN'T GET A TICKET AND I DIDN'T BUMP MY
HEAD SO I THINK IT WOULD BE OKAY.  
I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE RICHARD RAY FROM THE DEPARTMENT ON DISABILITY.  
      GUEST:  HELLO.  HOW ARE YOU DOING.  
JANET:  I WANT TO EXPLAIN.  I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.  RICHARD HAS BEEN
FOR MANY, MANY YEARS THE DEAF SERVICES COORDINATOR FOR THE CITY OF LOS
ANGELES AND WHEN I WAS PUTTING THIS SHOW TOGETHER ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED
TO DO WAS MAKE SURE IT WAS ACCESSIBLE TO RICHARD SO HE WOULD FEEL
COMFORTABLE FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED COMMUNITY TO EVERYBODY SO THANK YOU,
RICHARD, FOR COMING, AND SEE THIS WAS WHY I WAS GIGGLING BECAUSE RICHARD
REACTS TO EVERYTHING I SAY.  
HE IS HERE.  RICHARD IS SIGNING, AND HE HAS WITH HIM A SIGN LANGUAGE
INTERPRETER, AND I DON'T KNOW INTRODUCE.  GUEST HIS NAME IS BOB LAPARRO.  
THIS IS GOING TO BE INTERESTING HOW IT GOES TOGETHER.  AND RICHARD RAY, I
INTRODUCE YOU TO RAY MUELLER.  
GUEST:  NICE TO MEET YOU RAY.  
JANET:  WHY DON'T YOU START WITH FOLLOWING THROUGH ON SOME OF THE THINGS
WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE ASBESTOS STUFF SINCE TODAY WE HAVE A CITY
REPRESENTATIVE, AND I THINK SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW ABOUT ASBESTOS
MAY BE INTERESTING TO THE DEPARTMENT ON DISABILITY AS FAR AS CITY EMPLOYEES.

GUEST:  OKAY.  WELL, JUST TO START OFF I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE MYSELF TO THE
AUDIENCE.  MY NAME IS RAY MUELLER.  I'M A LAWYER AT THE ASBESTOS LEGAL
CENTER.  AND TYPICALLY AT ASBESTOS LEGAL CENTER WE REPRESENT PEOPLE WHO'RE
SUFFERING FROM MESOTHELIOMA, FROM LUNG CANCER AND OTHER ASBESTOS RELATED
DISEASES.  SO IF THERE'S SOMEONE OUT THERE LISTENING RIGHT NOW THAT NEEDS
HELP OR NEEDS REPRESENTATION AT THE OUTSET I WANT THEM TO CALL US AT 1 800
970 DUST.  
JANET:  THEY SHOULDN'T BE INTIMIDATED BY THE PROCESS.  
GUEST:  NOT AT ALL.  THERE'S MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WAITING IN TRUST FOR PEOPLE
WITH MESOTHELIOMA.  THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.  IT'S NOT HOPELESS.  YOU HAVE
PEOPLE WHO WILL FIGHT FOR YOU, AND REPRESENT YOU.  AND WHO WILL TRY TO GET
COMPENSATION FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.  
THAT'S SOMETHING WE DO EVERY DAY AND WE'RE PROUD TO DO IT.  I'M CURIOUS IF
THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME.  I'VE BEEN ON YOUR SHOW A NUMBER OF TIMES
NOW.  IF THERE ARE ANY LISTENERS OUT THERE WHO HAVE QUESTIONS FOR ME.  
WHAT I'D ASK IS THAT YOU E MAIL JANET OR CONTACT HER.  I WOULD LIKE ABLE TO
ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT THE LISTENERS MAY HAVE ABOUT ASBESTOS OR ANOTHER
PRODUCT THAT THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT.  I'M A PRODUCT LIABILITY ATTORNEY.  I
REPRESENT PEOPLE WHO'RE SUING COMPANIES WHO HAVE HARMED THEM, AND I'M HAPPY
TO BE THERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ANYONE MIGHT HAVE.  
JANET:  WELL, I HAD A PERSON ASK A QUESTION.  THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSING
INFORMATION I'LL SAY ABOUT BREAST IMPLANTS.  SILICONE, SALINE, THEY TOOK
THEM OFF THE MARKET.  THEY BROUGHT THEM BACK.  IS THERE    CAN YOU ADDRESS
ANY OF THAT?  
IS IT SAFE.  I HAVE ANOTHER FRIEND, THIS IS TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND THEY
HAD THE SILICONE ONES AND THEY ALL GOT SICK.  IS THERE ANY KIND OF ACTION
ABOUT THAT THAT YOU KNOW OF?
GUEST:  CERTAINLY THERE HAVE BEEN LAWSUITS WITH RESPECT TO BREAST IMPLANTS.
WHAT WOULD BE GOOD THERE'S A NUMBER OF IMPLANTS THAT BASICALLY WERE FAILING.
THAT WERE RELEASING THE MATERIAL INTO THE PERSON'S BODY, AND THAT WERE
CAUSING HARM TO THEM.  SINCE THAT TIME THEY'VE CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THE
IMPLANTS BUT SPECIFICALLY WITH RESPECT TO SILICONE BREAST IMPLANTS, SILICONE
GEL IMPLANTS THERE WERE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS THAT WERE FILED.  THAT WAS
TAKING PLACE.  THERE WERE OVER 100,000 WOMEN THAT RECEIVED AN AWARD AS A
RESULT OF THE LAW SUIT.  THAT SETTLEMENT PERMANENTLY CLOSED ON DECEMBER
15TH, 2010.  BUT IF YOU ARE A PERSON WHO HAS BREAST IMPLANTS.  IF YOU ARE A
PERSON HAS ANY PRODUCT THAT'S BEEN PLACED INTO YOUR BODY THAT'S MAKING YOU
SICK THERE'S A DESIGN DEFECT.  IT MEANS THAT THE PRODUCT WAS DESIGNED
NEGLIGENTLY IN A WAY THAT IT HARMS YOU.  OR A DEFECT IF THEY'RE USING A
SUBSTANCE THAT CAN HURT YOU.  THEY SHOULD HAVE KNEW OR KNOWN.  IF THAT'S THE
CASE HE DESIGNED IT BAD.  YOU DESIGNED IT NEGLIGENTLY.  YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE
DONE THAT.  OR YOU DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS GOING TO HURT PEOPLE OR YOU SHOULD
HAVE DONE MORE RESEARCH BEFORE YOU PUT THE PRODUCT ON THE MARKET.  THERE'S A
SEPARATE LAWSUIT.  AND PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE WITH MEDICAL DEVICES SUCH AS
BREAST IMPLANTS, THAT'S THAT TYPE OF LAWSUIT REGARDING A MANUFACTURING
DEFECT.  WHAT IT SAYS EVEN THOUGH YOU MADE THIS PRODUCT THAT ON PAPER LOOKS
GOOD, YOU MANUFACTURED IT TERRIBLY.  AND WHEN IT ACTUALLY GETS PUT INSIDE A
PERSON'S BODY IT BREAKS DOWN IN A MANNER THAT IT SHOULDN'T, AND IT'S HARMING
PEOPLE.  IF YOU'RE A PERSON OUT THERE WHO'S HAD ANYTHING DONE TO THEM
MEDICALLY, AND YOU THINK YOU ARE SICK, AND YOU THINK THAT DEVICE IS CAUSING
IT, YOU NEED TO CONTACT AN ATTORNEY, AND YOU NEED TO CONTACT A DOCTOR.  THE
ONLY WAY THAT THE LAWSUITS START IS BY SOMEONE COMING FORWARD AND SAYING I
HAVE A PROBLEM.  
THE MORE PEOPLE THAT COME FORWARD, AND THOSE COMPLAINTS WILL GET TRACKED BY
THE GOVERNMENT.  WE NEED TO SPEND THE MONEY TO INVESTIGATE THIS CLAIM TO
FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON.  
JANET:  I THINK I'M GOING TO HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU NEXT TIME.  I THINK I
GOT ONE FOR YOU.  WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT FOR THE NEXT TIME.  I THINK THAT'S
GOING TO BE A LONG ONE.  I WANT TO TURN IT OVER TO RICHARD.  YOU HAVE
SOMETHING SPECIFIC YOU WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IT.  
GUEST:  YES, I DID.  I HAVE SOMETHING SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO OUR
DEAFESTIVAL.  IT'S OUR DEAFESTIVAL WHICH IS ALSO SPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBER
TONY CÁRDENAS.  WE'VE BEEN DOING IT ANNUALLY OUR DEAFESTIVAL, AND OUR NEXT
ONE IS GOING TO BE THIS SEPTEMBER, SEPTEMBER 24TH.  IT'S A SATURDAY.  IT'S
OUR 8TH YEAR DOING IT.  WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS EVENT.  WE'RE GOING
TO HAVE FOUR DIFFERENT FEATURES GOING ON.  FIRST OFF WE HAVE AN ART
COMPETITION WHICH IS A TRAVELLING ART COMPETITION.  WE WILL BRING ARTISTS
FROM ALL OVER TO DISPLAY THEIR WORK.  IT WILL BE POSTED AT THE AIRPORT.  IT
WILL BE AT THE BRIDGE GALLERY.  THAT WAY WE CAN SHOWCASE ALL OF THEIR
TALENTS.  
WE ALSO HAVE DEAF GOT TALENT WHICH IS OUR TALENT SHOW.  IT FOCUSES ON THE
AMAZING QUALITIES AND SKILLS THAT DEAF PEOPLE HAVE INHERENT IN THEM, AND
WE'RE FOCUSING ON THE YOUTH.  
AND TO SHOWCASE THEIR ABILITIES TO COMMUNICATE AND THAT COMMUNICATION IS NOT
A BARRIER.  WE WANT TO INSURE THERE'S NO MORE BULLYING, THAT THERE ARE NO
MORE THINGS IN THE WORLD SUCH AS SEXTING.  THAT THEY WERE AND THEY'VE GOT
TALENTS INHERENT IN THEM, AND WE WANT TO NURTURE THAT WITHIN THEM.  A THIRD
EVENT WE HAVE GOING ON IS OUR FASHION SHOW.  ALL OF OUR MODELS ARE DEAF OR
HARD OF HEARING.  AND WE HAVE A CATWALK THAT WILL BE SET UP, AND THEY'LL BE
ABLE TO WALK DOWN THE CATWALK, AND THE DEAF COMMUNITY WILL BE ABLE TO SEE
PEOPLE WHO THEY KNOW DRESSED UP TO THE 9S.  COMPLETELY DONE UP, AND LOOKING
GORGEOUS.  WE'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE THAT AS OUR THIRD EVENT.  AND WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE WHO'RE THE DESIGNERS ARE ALSO DEAF FOR THIS FASHION
SHOW.  
JANET:  THAT MAKES IT REALLY, REALLY NICE.  
GUEST:  IT'S A GREAT SHOW.  IT REALLY IS.  IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO SEE NOT
ONLY ARE THE ARTISTS WHO CREATE THESE WONDERFUL GARMENTS ARE MADE BY THE
DEAF BUT THE ONES SHOWCASING THEM ON THE CATWALK ARE DEAF.  
JANET:  THAT'S FULL CIRCLE.  I LIKE THAT.  
GUEST:  WE DO TOO.  WE SPONSOR AMAZINGLY THIS EVENT BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE WE KEEP IT FREE, AND WE KEEP IT OPEN AND AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY.
WE ASK FOR VOLUNTEERS TO ENCOURAGE HELPING OUT WITH SETTING UP, AND CLEANING
UP, AND JUST MANNING ALL OF THE DIFFERENT STATIONS.  WE WANT TO MAKE IT AS
EFFECTIVE AS POSSIBLE FOR THE DEAF COMMUNITY TO FEEL THERE ARE NO BARRIERS
TO BE ABLE TO COME AND CELEBRATE THEIR DEAFNESS.  WE HAVE A WONDERFUL
DIRECTOR REBECCA VELASQUEZ.  
AND WE COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT HER HONESTLY.  I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF THE
INFORMATION GOING OUT AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DEAF PEOPLE HAVE
ACCESS TO IT.  OUR WEBSITE IS WWW.DEAFESTIVALLA.ORG.  LET ME DO THAT AGAIN.
WWW.DEAFESTIVALLA.ORG.  ON THAT WEBSITE YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT
EVENTS.  HOW YOU CAN POSSIBLY BE INVOLVED WHETHER IT BE VOLUNTEERING OR
BEING ONE OF THE COMPETITORS OR ONE OF THE EXHIBITORS.  IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHAT YOUR HEARING STATUS IS WE WANT EVERYBODY TO BE INVOLVED.  WE DON'T CARE
ABOUT YOUR DISABILITY STATUS.  THIS IS A GREAT PLACE FOR ALL OF US TO
CELEBRATE ALL OF OUR DIFFERENCES, AND SHARE.  WE WANT TO HAVE A GREAT
SOCIALIZATION TIME, AND NETWORK, AND SHOWS THE ARTWORK.  IT'S ALL AMAZING.  
JANET:  EXCELLENT.  I LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PUT THIS INFORMATION OUT THERE
BECAUSE YOU AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE I JUST
BROUGHT UP EARLIER I ASKED IF YOU REMEMBER GOING TO PROM DESERT.  THAT WAS
LIKE 1980 SOMETHING.  
GUEST:  GOSH DO WE NEED TO TELL EVERYBODY WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER.  
JANET:  YEAH.  I THINK IT SHOWS OUR COMMITMENT TO PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.

GUEST:  I AGREE.  
JANET:  I THINK WE HAVE LEARNED FROM EACH OTHER, AND SHARED LOTS OF
INFORMATION TO MAKE THINGS ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYBODY.  LIKE I SAID EARLIER I
THINK THAT THEY NEED TO MAKE THE PYRAMID STEPS WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE.  IF
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DO IT THEY SHOULD CLOSE IT.  THAT'S WHAT I THINK.  I
THINK IT'S EVERYBODY OR NOBODY.  
GUEST:  EXACTLY.  IT'S REALLY NICE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH YOU.
IT HAS BEEN OVER THE YEARS.  I HAVE SEEN SO MUCH PROGRESS IN THE CITY, AND
WE HAVE A LOT MORE WORK TO DO BUT WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY.  SO I APPLAUD YOU
FOR ALL OF YOUR EFFORTS.  YOU'RE A GREAT SHOWMAN.  
JANET:  WELL, THAT PART I'LL TAKE.  IT WAS SOME OF THE EXAMPLES THAT WAS SET
FOR US AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE OF THE HONORABLE TOM BRADLEY.  
GUEST:  EXACTLY.  
JANET:  HE KIND OF SET THE PACE FOR THIS.  HE RECOGNIZED THE NEED AND HE
GAVE US MR. ELKINS TO SHEPARD IT ALL THROUGH.  WE DID HAVE SOME DIFFERENCES
EVERY NOW, AND THEN.  EVERYBODY DOES.  I THINK THAT TAUGHT US HOW TO WORK
WITH PEOPLE THAT YOU DON'T AGREE WITH OR DON'T AGREE WITH YOU OR THAT ARE
DIFFERENT TO TRY AND FIND OUT WHERE YOU DO AGREE AS OPPOSED TO GETTING STUCK
WHERE YOU DON'T AGREE.  
GUEST:  EXACTLY.  YOU KNOW, AND IT IS SO HEALTHY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO AGREE
TO DISAGREE ON CERTAIN TOPICS.  WE ARE HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT EACH OTHER.
TO LEARN WHAT DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES WE HAVE ON THINGS.  THAT'S FINE.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE WORLD WORK.  IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT IT WOULD BE ONE
BORING THING.  WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO SAY I AGREE TO DISAGREE.  HOW CAN WE
WORK TOGETHER.  HOW CAN WE LIVE TOGETHER.  
JANET:  THAT'S HOW I LEARN.  IF YOU SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY FROM ME.  ME
AND JANET, I'M GOING TO LISTEN TO WHAT IT IS, AND THEN MAYBE THERE'S
SOMEWMAY I CAN INCORPORATE THAT INTO A PART OF    WELL, IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY
DIFFERENCE ON THIS PART BUT YOU HAVE AN ISSUE IT'S VERY EASY TO INCLUDE
THAT.  AND I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE, AND I THINK WE'RE SEEING THIS IN
WASHINGTON WHERE IT'S JUST ABOUT    IT'S ME, I, I WANT TO WIN.  IT'S NOT
ABOUT US.  IT'S NOT ABOUT THE PEOPLE.  AND IT SHOULD BE.  I THINK RATHER
THAN NICKEL AND DIMING THE SSI PEOPLE TO EVERY SIX MONTHS THEY TAKE $5 OR
$10 OFF THEIR CHECK.  THEY'RE MILLIONAIRES SO IT DOESN'T AFFECT THEM.  I
THINK IF THEY INCLUDED US IN TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN THAT STUFF OUT WE COULD
COME UP WITH SOMETHING.  
GUEST:  JANET, I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT YOU.  THE WHEELCHAIRS IT REMIND
THAT YOU MIGHT BOTH BE INTERESTED TO KNOW EARLIER THAT I WAS AND THAT THERE
IS A PRODUCT RIGHT NOW THAT'S EFFECTING PEOPLE WHO WHO HAVE HAD HIP
REPLACEMENTS.  AND DIFFICULTY WALKING. 
THERE'S A DUPUY HIP.  THESE HIP REPLACEMENTS COME LOOSE IN THESE PEOPLE'S
BODY, AND DEPOSITS METAL FRAGMENTS.  I DIDN'T WANT THIS MOMENT TO PASS SINCE
WE HAVE PEOPLE LISTENING WHO RESPECT YOU BOTH.  THEY KNOW THIS IS OUT THERE,
AN    
JANET:  THAT'S WHY I'M GLAD YOU'RE WITH US TO PUT THAT INFORMATION OUT
THERE.  BECAUSE TO ME THAT'S WHAT IT IS I'M TRYING IS GET THE INFORMATION TO
THE PEOPLE THAT NEED TO HAVE IT.  THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT THING.  WE KNOW
SOMEBODY THAT'S HAD HIP REPLACEMENTS.  
GUEST:  TWICE ACTUALLY.  
JANET:  I HAVE THE EHLERS DANLOS SYNDROME, IT'S HIP REPLACEMENT.  KNEE
REPLACEMENT.  SHOULDER REPLACEMENT.  ELBOWS.  FINGERS.  KNEES.  TOES.  ALL
OF THIS STUFF.  
GUEST:  IF THERE'S SOMEONE OUT WITH A HIP REPLACEMENT IT'S SPECIFICALLY THIS
TYPE OF HIP REPLACEMENT THEY NEED TO CALL US.  WHAT WE CAN DO WE CAN HELP
THEM GET THAT CLAIM FILED.  THEY HAVE MONEY TO GET THE NEW PROPER HIP
REPLACEMENT BEFORE THE ONE THAT'S IN THERE THAT'S DEFECTIVE BREAKS APART,
AND CAUSING THEM PROBLEM.  THE THING WE'RE TRYING TO DO RIGHT NOW IS GET THE
INFORMATION OUT RIGHT NOW.  WE NEED TO GET THE HIP REPLACEMENTS OUT BEFORE
THEY FAIL.  ONCE THEY FAIL IT'S CATASTROPHIC INJURY.  
JANET:  ED WHICH IS THE WEBSITE FOR THE EHLERS DANLOS NATIONAL FOUNDATION.
THEY SHOULD BE INTERESTED IN THIS INFORMATION.  
GUEST:  OKAY.  IF THERE'S SOMEONE THAT NEED TO CONTACT US.  1 800 970 3878.

JANET:  OKAY.  WE'VE GOT 3 MINUTES LEFT.  SO I WANT TO MENTION FIRST OF ALL

UNDERSTAND WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE A GOOD CLEAR
COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN HEARING PERSON AND A PERSON THAT CAN'T HEAR OR HAS
HEARING ISSUES.  WE DISCUSSED ETIQUETTE, AND I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR
PEOPLE TO KNOW IN ORDER TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY WHAT THE ETIQUETTE IS.
THAT'S THE THEME SONG.  THAT MEANS WE'RE OUT OF TIME.  SANDY.  THANK YOU.
