	handicapped. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.
		Although handicapped is widely used in both law and everyday speech to refer to people having physical or mental disabilities, those described by the word tend to prefer the expressions disabled or people with disabilities.
		Handicapped, a somewhat euphemistic term, may imply a helplessness that is not suggested by the more forthright disabled.
		It is also felt that some stigma may attach to the word handicapped because of its origin in the phrase hand in cap, actually derived from a game of chance but sometimes mistakenly believed to involve the image of a beggar.

	Handicapped employment information guide
		A handicapped worker is a person whose capabilities are limited in the performance of the tasks in a particular employment situation.
		A handicapped worker has to be paid at least the minimum wage or a percentage thereof based on the extent to which a worker's performance is limited, but in no case may it fall below 50 percent of the minimum wage.
		Where a handicapped person is now performing or is being considered for employment where he or she will perform work which is equal to work performed by a nonhandicapped person, such handicapped person shall be paid the same wage as a nonhandicapped person with similar experiences.

		Likewise, the favorite in a foot race would be handicapped by being made to start farther back than the others, or perhaps from the same starting point but only after the others had a head start.
		As to why some choose to believe in a proveably false etymology of handicap that asserts it has ties to the disabled having to subsist as beggars in times past, one can only speculate it has to do with recent abhorrence for handicapped as a description of the disabled.
		Handicapped is seen as offensive by some because it stresses the negative, possibly leading to a continued view of the disabled as less than worthy members of the human race.

	HANDICAPPED FINCHES
		In both young birds and adults, leg and foot handicaps can also result from attacks by other birds, trauma caused by collisions with solid surfaces, nails that become caught (on wicker nests, for instance), infections that develop at the site of minor wounds and pressure from abdominal masses, such as tumors.
		If your bird is permanently and severely handicapped, consider moving it from the large aviary to a roomy cage, where it will not be physically stressed trying to reach food, water and perches.
		Most of all, birds with handicapped legs or feet need a variety of perches that are easy to grasp.

	Douglas W. Jones Handicapped Accessible Voting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Most recent work on handicapped access to voting systems has assumed that direct recording electronic voting machines were naturally required if we want to achieve a reasonable standard of accessibility for handicapped voters.
		It should be noted that it may not be a good idea to designate a single handicapped accessible voting booth and equip it with all of these tools while equipping none of the others.
		From this, it is fair to guess that the total cost of equipping a mark-sense polling place for handicapped accessible voting is likely to be around $250, and even if warehousing and distribution costs plus a fair profit margin double the cost, we can still expect the total to be under $500.

	Questions & Answers: Handicapped
		The first senses were connected with sport, including the handicapping of horses by adding weights to even out a contest.
		But for a large part of this century the word has been closely linked with physical and mental handicap, though this use, in Britain at least, is now considered dated, and to some people possibly even offensive.
		It is still feasible to use the word in wider senses (as well as in the original sporting sense, of course), though its connections with disability require care in deciding when to use it, and it is usually best to find another word.
