Making the Across America and around the world, a single language is understood by nearly all cultures: The language of song. universal language Few aspects of contemporary life exist free of music’s powerful influence: Our choices, our preferences, our truly universal. tastes, our lives and lifestyles are all shaped by music and music culture — provided we are granted access. Thirty million Americans, including over two million in the pivotal 18-25 age demographic, self- identify as deaf or hard of hearing. For these individuals, and tens of millions more worldwide, access to music and music-inspired culture has been limited at best, as few artists and media companies have attempted to bridge the gap between the deaf and hearing communities. Nonetheless, these thirty million Americans dance, perform, go to clubs, purchase music-inspired fashions, purchase DVDs, watch MTV and VH1 - in short, participate in as many aspects of music and music culture as possible. Together, they represent an engaged, enthusiastic audience—and perhaps the single largest under- served market in America today. The Deaf Performing Artists Networkis a new national nonprofit or- ganiztion created to make music and music culture accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing community, as well as to create new career and learn- ing opportunities within the music business. D-PAN begins by taking an easy, simple step: By creating deaf-centric reingerpretations of songs and music videos using American Sign Language (ASL), enabling performing artists to communicate to the deaf and hard of hearing worldwide.

The Las Vegas County Association of the Deaf spent 3-1/2 years raising the money and had four certificates of deposit worth $250,000 plus $20,000 in interest, said the Las Vegas Sun, but the account is now worth only $100,000 because that is the maximum amount of insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Co-chairman Bill Moran said there are no plans to cancel the 10-day event, which is expected to attract 3,000 attendees, but planners may need to borrow money to fulfill their contract with the host hotel. BILL TO TIGHTEN ADA PASSES IN SENATE A bill to expand the Americans with Disabilities Act was approved last Thursday in the U.S. Senate, reported The New York Times. The bill, written in response to Supreme Court rulings that weakened the ADA in recent years, passed in the House in June by a 402-17 vote and will be sent to the White House for President Bush's signature after a few minor differences are resolved.
