...site is just the first high-tech step in the Centre's mission to break down communication barriers between deaf and hearing people. A British Sign Language phone phrasebook should be released in the next year, plus the Centre has started to build a basic foreign-language phrasebook at www.deafstation.org, which will allow signers from Britain, Germany, Spain and Sweden to speak to each other...

Where Washington was cold and still wintry, the countryside between Roanoke and Blacksburg, viewed below on the helicopter ride to the Virginia Tech campus, was basking in sun and warm air.
