-- claims to be first deaf person
Japanese deaf mountain climber Satoshi Tamura,
at the age of 50, said he has become the first
deaf person to reach the top of Mount Everest.
He said he already climbed countless mountains
in Japan, and Mont Blanc, Island Peak and
Cho Oyu, all of them towering up in the sky.
Did he actually climb Mount Everest or is he
lying? A picture is at:

-- next thing for Nyle
What is next for Nyle? A big movie contract
with him in a starring role - and it will lead
to an Oscar win? Is DeafDigest joking? Never
say never. He already won the Top Model and
now Top Dancer awards, so the Oscar could be next!
-- change of interpreters
Nyle had a change of interpreters between his
TV dances. What is going on? Details seem
to be murky. One story said that Nyle's
intepreter had an accident and was sent
to a hospital. Another story said it was
an incident that prevented the interpreter
from showing up. At any rate, deaf people
normally do not like to change interpreters
especially if they're comfortable with their
primary interpreter.
