Despite the fact Glastonbury Festival is taking a year off for farming purposes, fans of the event can get their annual fix in a slightly different way this year, thanks to the re-working of the 1996 documentary Glastonbury the Movie, and ahead of the films June 29 release, The Fan Carpet's Stefan Pape caught up with the director Robin Mahoney.
The picture - which has been re-worked to suit the modern demands of digital cinema, also features a host of new material, in what proves to be a hugely emotive and atmospheric documentary film. Fully capturing the essence and the spirit of the widely renowned festival, there is little narrative to this one, yet Mahoney's feature offers a mere insight into the dynamics of the festival, almost the viewer dropping right in the centre of the annual event, capturing events from the memorable year of 1993.
We caught up with Mahoney as the film maker was in good spirits ahead of the films pending release, as he discusses what's changed not only within the film, but to Glastonbury festival itself. The film maker - who has also been behind best-selling music DVD featuring the likes of The Prodigy and Basement Jaxx, also discusses his own experiences at the festival whilst letting us in to the reaction to the film from Glastonbury's very own creator Michael Eavis.
Of course the film was first released in 1996 - so why the re-release now? Is there is a particular reason for this timing?
I've been thinking about that and essentially it's something I've wanted to do for ages as I was never happy with the original. I was happy enough at the time but as years progressed and I got more experienced and had more of an understand of the material we had, it just became an obsession to rework it and get it as right as I possibly could. It was like we closed a mine that still had a rich theme inside it and I just knew there were so many gems to chip out of it and I was kind of proved right as we've managed to get The Orb. On our Facebook page someone just put up the programme notes from Glastonbury and it's had tons of comments - people talking about how '93 was the best Glastonbury ever and they had the best time, talking about The Orb being the best band and that being the best Orb performance ever, and it sort of makes it worthwhile, because it is the only recording of them at a festival.
Was there a particular reason why you chose '93, or was that just when it all came together?
Yeah it just happened to be the time, it's one of those West Country magic moments where it all just happened.
2012 seems to be a real year to celebrate being British, what with the Queen's Jubilee and the Olympic Games - and Glastonbury is a very traditional event, rich in British heritage. This film is almost tapping into the sentiment of the nation at the moment...
I really, really hope so. I didn't choose 2012 to be the year I would rework it, I've been working on this new version of the film... and essentially it is a new version. It's like my kid makes something out of lego, then takes it all apart, throws it across the floor and and picks it up and starts again - that's kind of what we did, we re-pieced everything together. It's taken a long time and it's only just culminated now, by pure coincidence. We did know that Glastonbury wouldn't be on this year though. Weirdly coincidental, is that Danny Boyle is doing the Olympic opening ceremony, and he's got a Glastonbury Tor and a mosh pit and cows, it's just weird. Another weird West Country magic moment I reckon, another stupid coincidence, and Glastonbury is obviously full of that. I actually met Danny Boyle a last year at a cash machine and I introduced myself and told him who I was and that I was a film maker too, and he asked what titles I had done and I said, "Glastonbury the Movie" and he said he hadn't of it, so I reckon he got his idea for the Olympics from me...
Do you think it has helped that the film is being released on Glastonbury's year off?
I hope so, but weirdly some of the cinemas have said that because Glastonbury is not on they won't take it because there is no buzz about Glastonbury. It goes either way, it's a funny one. The first version was released in '96 - another fallow year for Glastonbury, and the year of Euro '96.
Personally I haven't seen the original copy of the film - so what has changed? What is different about this one?
The key thing is we shot the film in lovely, rich cinema scope, using the very same lenses that Stanley Kubrick used to shoot Barry Lyndon, all NASA engineered cinema lenses. The idea was to create something as high definition and as rich a cinematic experience as possibly, and up until now people only had the chance to see this on 35mil - so that was the main reason, to give people the opportunity to see it in its intended format, to be able to see the expression of peoples faces in the mid-distance, to see what was written on peoples t-shirts and to give people a real flavour of actually being there. Essentially the film is about dropping the viewer in the middle of Glastonbury, because there is no narrative, there are no conventional documentary techniques or interviews, we've made it a purely experiential journey for people. The other thing is that there is lots of extra material that we overlooked the first time we used it, and also performances we couldn't use the first time, where either the bands were too big or were too difficult to get through to their record companies, or simply refused to be in it. But now, 15 years down the line, they're a little bit more eager to get in on it! It was a very fundamental year for Glastonbury as it was the last year before the television companies were allowed to come in and it was a real flavour of the original festival culture of Britain that we managed to capture. Everyone who was an aficionado at the time told us we were very lucky to catch it when we did, before it changed.
So how different a documentary would it be if you were to film it now?
I just wouldn't go, I wouldn't bother with Glastonbury now. It's difficult for people to perceive what it used to be like because of the blanket TV coverage of all of the main stage acts, most people are aware that Glastonbury is just a concert where people stand around in fields squashed together and watching this big money act on stage, but it was never that for me. Every time I used to it was all about the events, about sharing experiences with other people and making friends, just being connected in a field under the stars, that kind of stuff you know. It was never about the bands, and Glastonbury has got more like that.
I'm still a big fan of Glastonbury, but I've only been recently. I would have been four years old in 1993...
There are a few four year olds in there. There is something about the place, unless you've been there you won't get it. It doesn't matter who is on the main stage, the thing that draws people back to Glastonbury once they've been there, is that sort of psychic buzz that they get. It's special.
This documentary captures that essence and the spirit of Glastonbury - you can tell this has been made by a regular goer. Was this a film you had always wanted to make?
No it was a stroke of luck, but when the opportunity arose I took it and went for it with all guns blazing. I knew how special Glastonbury was, I went for the first time in '85 and even then it had kind of started to change, but I just knew there was something special about it. Hardly anyone knew about Glastonbury back then, but I knew some guys who lived near Bath and they dragged me up there, and it was just unbelievable. It was an unmissable opportunity to shoot it.
When I was watching it, I spent the entire time reminiscing about Glastonbury - just making me wish I back there. Yet for those who have never been, what is the appeal of this film?
It's a tough one. To be honest, it's not a film for everyone even if I do think it's a film that everyone in the world should see. It's distinct and a significant bit of culture and everyone should understand what its about, but I guess, pity, poor them.
The film works as an insight into British culture - was that always the intention or something you discovered after getting your footage?
That came from the decisions we made at the time of filming - not to point the camera at the bands the whole time, not to be interested any of these here today, gone tomorrow acts, although weirdly all of the acts in the film are still firing.
One of the most intriguing aspects to the film is that you've presented in split screen, what was the thinking behind that?
That's a new addition. I just think audiences now are much more sophisticated now than they were when we made it, it I mean next year will be the 20th anniversary of the shoot. I just think people are more able to take it more information than they were. When I watch the original copy now it just seems a bit slow, I just wanted to step up the pace and make it a more in your face, full on experience. It's a little bit more languid the other one. Yet there is no moment when you feel you are overwhelmed by the imagery though. Also it draws you back to the film - you can come and watch it again. There is so much material and I wanted to make it an hour and a half, to stick to that traditional cinematic length, and there was so much stuff that just had to go in.
There had been very few Glastonbury features prior to yours - I assume you had to approach Michael Eavis about your project, was he always keen, or did he have any apprehensions towards the project?
No he didn't have any apprehensions. He told us that a lot of people had approached him in the past about making a film about Glastonbury and he had always said yes, but what always came out was a VHS, half-formed thing. I don't think he realised how serious we were with our intentions though, and he was a little taken aback when he had seen what we had done, but now I think he is quite happy. At the time he was a little bit stand-offish, but now he likes it and so does his daughter, who kind of runs the festival.
Of course you had all your equipment with you and you were working hard, but as a film crew were you able to have fun? To drink and go out and watch bands in the evening, or was it all quite professional?
No it wasn't professional at all. What was professional was that we were trained technicians and we knew what we were doing and how to deal with all of these cameras. We were photographers, cinematographers and film makers who had all made films before. We just got off the back of making another feature before that. The fun that we had was filming the event. It was just such fun.
There has of course been another Glastonbury documentary since yours, by Julien Temple - how did you feel when that came out?
Absolutely gutted if I'm honest. It was a funny feeling, and weirdly I was in the process of making DVDs for people like Prodigy and Basement Jaxx, and the reason I got into that was because I wanted to work on this all-encompassing, massive box-set job of Glastonbury material and the original version of the film. Then when I heard they were making their film it completely blew the wind out of my sails and it took me another four years to get this DVD off the ground.
The two are so different though, Temple's is a much more conventional documentary...
Yeah thankfully they followed the route that we didn't. But our one is a tough sell, I mean TV companies want straight, normal narrative productions, something for people to get their teeth into. Someone said to me that this is a piece of pure cinema, and maybe it's a little ahead of its time in terms of television and conventional, middle-of-the-road viewing.
And finally, what is coming up for you now? Anything in the pipeline or is it all very Glastonbury at the moment?
It's all very Glastonbury now, but I have another project which is a kind of AV, abstract, working with some electronic music producers who still produce stuff on vinyl, playing in clubs around the world, and I do these remix versions for them of old media. And I have a narrative feature, which I guess you would call a multicultural thriller set in East London.

Orlando, FL (Sports Network) - DeMar DeRozan nailed a go-ahead jumper with less than a minute remaining only to see the Orlando Magic answer.
But then DeRozan came through again.
DeRozan's fadeaway jumper at the buzzer lifted the Toronto Raptors to a 97-95 win over the Magic.
DeRozan's right-elbow jumper gave the Raptors a two-point edge with 37.5 left before E'Twaun Moore's offensive rebound putback knotted the contest at 95-95 with 20.9 to go.
On the game-winner, Jose Calderon received the inbounds and passed to DeRozan, who began at the top of the key and dribbled left before letting go of a fadeaway from the left corner over the outstretched arms of Glen Davis and Aaron Afflalo.
The high-arching shot hit nothing but net.
DeRozan finished with 22 points and seven assists for Toronto, which has won two of three on the heels of a four-game skid.
Nikola Vucevic had 19 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Magic, who have dropped four straight.
The Raptors headed into the fourth with a 77-66 lead, but an 18-6 Orlando run put the hosts in front. Davis had a layup and three-point play during the surge, which was capped on Jameer Nelson's layup for an 84-83 Magic edge midway through the fourth.
Toronto held a four-point cushion later in the frame, but J.J. Redick's four- point play tied the game at 93-93 with 53.1 ticks left.
The Raptors took a 22-20 margin after a quarter of play and a 48-47 spread heading into the break.
Game Notes
Afflalo finished with 14 points ... Amir Johnson tallied 21 points and 10 boards for Toronto ... Toronto committed just 10 turnovers ... The Magic held an 18-4 edge in second-chance points.

To the best of our knowledge, no comprehensive documentary about anarchism has ever been made. This is a project to create a documentary which is as much a basic introduction to anarchism, as well as a story which looks at anarchism historically and globally.[Deutsch] [Português] [Русский] [Ελληνικά][Castellano][Français] [Türkçe]

I've got a bad feeling about this -- could be a wicked project mind -- but I hope it isn't interviews with Noam Chomsky, David Graeber, and other intellectuals. And lets hope it looks at the diversity of the anarchist movement rather than getting into sectarianism.

Thanks so much to the Florida Powered Paragators who caught me completely off guard at the Florida National Convention. They awarded me the "Above and Beyond Award" for "Dedication to Promoting the Sport of Powered Paragliding." I'm honored, to say the least. Thanks guys!
In 2011 I was honored with the first "Goin Above and Beyond" award by David Rogers at Beach Blast. That was really cool and I got a sharp looking leather jacket, too. This was a real treat, needless to say, and I'm very grateful. The award has also been given to Eric Dufour (2011) and Paul Anthem (2012).
In 2010 I was asked to be one of EAA's "Timeless Voices" video series where they get pilots to talk about their aviation path and life in general. That was easy—anyone that knows me knows I love to talk so the hour long session was actually quite fun. I divulge a few things to my parents that are obviously no longer secret, too, including a trip to the high school principal's office regarding buzzing. It was cool having my private license in the 11th grade but caused some unnecessary consternation among faculty bigwigs.
Mostly, it's my aviation story from about age 11 on.

Beat the First time Buyers Deadline and save before it's too late
Any first time buyers need to realise and ensure there conveyancing solicitors realise that the stamp duty concession for first time buyers buying a property up to £250,000.00 is fast approaching. The government decided not to extend the stamp duty scheme and the deadlines for completion of your purchase is 24th March 2012. The scheme allowed first time buyers to pay no stamp on property purchases up to and including the value of £250,000 rather than paying 1% of the property value like standard property buyers. Conveyancing solicitors are now facing growing volume of first time buyers anxious to complete with the concessional period. Many first time buyers have informed there conveyancing solicitors that you wished for completion of their property purchase before the concessional discount ends. The has increased the pressure on conveyancing solicitors and conveyancers to preform within tight schedules as potential the saving for a first time buyer be anywhere up to £2500. With mortgage companies being more picky on who they lend to and also the length of time it takes the mortgage company to do its checks, the strain of completing the transactions is all with eth conveyancing solicitors. In essence, by taking advantage of the scheme you would at least under all circumstance least save all the costs of your conveyancing and disbursements which is a great deal of money for any home buyer let alone a first time buyer. When choosing a conveyancing solicitors please ensure that you employ them on no completion no legal fee basis and this will ensure that if the solicitors do not complete the transaction within the required period you then you are in a position to cancel the transaction without paying the legal costs. This method can ensure your conveyancing solicitor complete within the timeframe.

A bill to change the name of the National Institute on Drug Abuse to the National Institute on Diseases of Addiction; and to change the name of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to the National Institute on Alcohol Disorders and Health. Congress makes the following findings:

This is a common-sense bill, designed to strengthen the implementation of the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act. This bill would create incentives to ensure that the self-certification process of the law is made both effective and enforceable. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.

About Town
Osama bin Laden's Photo
To show or not to show?
A note to readers: Some links in this post are graphic in nature. This week, the world was told that Osama bin Laden is dead. Messages from The White House and news media tell us that the leader of terrorist group al-Quaeda was killed by U.S. military forces. For some people, this news is enough to move forward in some way after 9/11. For others, it's simply not enough. We've been told bin Laden's body was photographed, DNA-tested, then buried at sea. Some, though, believe it's all a hoax. Another conspiracy. A cover-up. Many people took to the streets to cheer and whoop it up, celebrating the demise of a man who the US said masterminded a catastrophic series of events when the revelers were mere toddlers. Others took to their …
Clif Brown
4:27 pm on Wednesday, May 4, 2011
Killing bin Laden doesn't bring back the victims of 9/11. I also note that the celebrations now and the outrage when 9/11 occurred did not bring any reflection what America does in the world. Too many see 9/11 standing isolated from history, a unique outrage. One of bin Laden's motivations was the plight of the Palestinians. Every American knows that more than 2000 people died at the WTC on 9/11…   more ›

Giving voice to India's silent communities
Posted: June 21, 2012 Filed under: communities, media, technology | Tags: audiowiki, cgnet swara, chhattisgarh, citizen journalism, civic media, india, journalism, knight foundation, mit, naxalites, subhranshu choudhary 2 Comments »Chhattisgarh, a forest-dominated region of 25 million people in central India, rarely makes the news headlines. When it does, there's usually just one topic of interest: unrest and violence related to the Naxalite presence in the state. You'll hardly ever hear or read the point of view of a tribal community in the media, since almost no Indian journalists – let alone foreign correspondents – speak their local language. The Naxalite revolutionaries, it's worth noting, have learnt most tribal languages in the four decades they've been embedded in communities.
The result of this mismatch in communication is that the media dedicates its attention to the political aims of the Naxalites and the threat that they pose. Tribal people are presumed to be silent and willing sponsors of terrorism; their problems go unheard and they remain marginalised.
In an attempt to break this cycle, Shubhranshu Choudhary (a Knight International Journalism Fellow and former BBC producer) has set up a community media network called CGNet Swara (Chhattisgarh Net Voice).
Individuals can hear the latest news or contribute a story of their own by calling a telephone number – those who can't afford to pay for the call can hang up, and the system calls them back. Currently around 10-15 people per day call to contribute news stories by voice, which are captured by a system based on the audiowiki platform developed at MIT. The CGNS team listen to each story and attempt to verify its authenticity by calling the caller back. They ask further questions, and cross-checking with other contacts on the ground.
Once verified, the message is translated into Hindi and English. It is then added to the CGNS hotline for callers to hear, added to the CGN Swara website in audio and text form, and updates are pushed to subscribers by social media and SMS.
The platform has produced a very unique range of voices: stories range from crime reports and complaints about government policies to campaigns on local development plans and opinion pieces covering India-wide issues. A growing and very exciting trend is the uploading of traditional folk music – much of which has never before been recorded – though CGNS is still working on a separate home for musical content.
Giving voice to the community's stories has not been an easy process, though, since unscrupulous elements in authority strongly oppose it. The medium's potential power to expose corruption and government inaction is significant, as its opponents are aware; verifying messages that are politically sensitive is also the CGNS team's biggest challenge (as a report by Mobile Active also noted).
As a result of covert opposition, CGNS has been forced to change the location of its server three times in the past year. The group's latest strategy is to locate the server, now a single laptop, in large institutions such as universities, where disgruntled officials are less likely to tread – I met Choudhary at Mumbai's Tata Institute of Social Sciences campus, their temporary home for a few days in May.
Attempts to train local citizens as journalists have been less successful, though. Of two men CGNS has worked with, one has disappeared and the other is in jail. Nevertheless, assuming the platform can continue to operate as a mobile server, it has the potential for much wider application.
The team are planning to add functionality for tagging stories by subject and location, which will allow callers to choose more precisely the types of stories they'd like to hear, and enable the service to be used nationally – with callers dialling in to their local area, or another area in which they're interested (particularly useful for the millions of internal migrants to Mumbai and Delhi). Greater filtering capability will also allow the platform to include less newsy, more hyper-local stories such as birth, marriage and funeral announcements, which would be of interest to specific neighbourhoods. With hyper-local media becoming a buzz topic in the West, this could be another instance of technology enabling so-called leapfrog development.
The CGNS concept is explained very neatly in this cartoon video:

Health Information
Mifepristone and Misoprostol for Abortion
What To Think About
Choosing a medical or surgical procedure for an abortion will depend on your medical history, how many weeks pregnant you are, what options are available where you live, and your personal preferences.
Mifepristone should not be used for women who have any of the following conditions:Reference 2
- Reference Adrenal Opens New Window failure
- Allergy to mifepristone
- Severe Reference anemia Opens New Window
- Bleeding disorders or use of blood thinners (Reference anticoagulants Opens New Window)
- Long-term Reference corticosteroid Opens New Window use

- Heart disease or uncontrolled Reference high blood pressure (hypertension) Opens New Window
- Reference Intrauterine device (IUD) Opens New Window in place
- Liver or kidney disease
- Undiagnosed ovarian mass
- Respiratory diseases
- Inherited skin diseases
Avoid alcohol and aspirin while using mifepristone and misoprostol for a medical abortion.
A medical abortion does not require surgery but must be done in the first 9 weeks of pregnancy. If a medical abortion fails, a surgical abortion must be done as follow-up.
After a medical abortion
Expect that you may experience different Reference emotional reactions after an abortion.
Reference Depression Opens New Window can be triggered when pregnancy hormones change after an abortion. If you have more than 2 weeks of depression symptoms, such as fatigue, sleep or appetite change, or feelings of sadness, emptiness, anxiety, or irritability, see your doctor about treatment.
Do not have sexual intercourse for at least 1 week, or longer, as advised by your doctor.
When you start having intercourse again, use birth control, and use condoms to prevent infection. For more information, see the topic Reference Birth Control.
Your next regular period may come at any time within 6 weeks after the abortion. Be sure to contact your doctor if you do not have a period within 6 weeks.

Acquiring water confidence is an essential skill for life which will introduce children to a sport discipline; would make other activities more enjoyable, such as holidays, water sports and it may even save a life.
Our children classes aim to allow children to feel confident and have fun in the water at their own pace through the Scottish Learn to Swim Program. Classes are arranged based on the child skills (generally starting from 5 years of age) and pupils are continually assessed based on their improvement to the next appropriate level.

Ratings & Reviews
Almost Perfect
By now it should be no surprise that the Bose sounds real good. Unlike other speakers I tested, the vocals and instruments sound full and alive. It can play quite loud without distortion. The original SoundDock has many reviews if you can find them.
This is the new model (Series II) of the SoundDock and, contrary to what the previous reviewer wrote, it does not run on batteries. For portability you must shell out another $100 for the model with the word "Portable" in its name. The Series II has a new slimmer profile, an input for other audio devices, and a slightly more functional remote. It now lets you switch playlists like the remote on the Portable. I'm not sure why they didn't go all the way and give the remote the ability to fully navigate the iPod menu and list system. You must still have physical access to the iPod or iPhone to select artists or albums which makes the remote a bit disappointing if you listen to music in full albums instead of via playlists.
If, like me, you care about subtle qualities in the sound or if you want to be able to play loud without distortion, by all means the Bose delivers compared to its competition. You will not get booming bass out of a speaker this size, but you will be impressed with the bass you do get.
It loses a star for the lack of full functionality in the remote and because it is expensive (like all Bose products). If you are not an especially critical listener, the Logitech Pure-Fi sounds very good for less than half the price and provides portability at no extra charge. …- Written by Andrew H from Jersey City

Bose SoundDock Capatibility
According to Bose and many other sources, the Bose SoundDock was suppose to be 100% capable to to iTouch. After getting it shippe d, I found that the recharging feature only works for iPods and iPhones, NOT iTouch. This shortcoming is slightly implied on the Apple website, but I don't think anyone would have noticed the exclusion of iTouch for this feature since it should be obvious requirement. Sound quality is pretty good, but I'm going to return the unit since I would be running on battery power all the time. Live and learn! …

I've wanted this since It came out because all of the other sounddocks I've had did not messure up to Bose. You can't blare your s peakers out, but, I don't think that's the point of a Bose sounddock. You will be very shocked for how awesome it sounds considering it is so small.
I also had trouble with the remote and Bose was very nice and sent me a new one in the mail next day delivery.
I'm very happy and would recommend it my friends and family. …- Written by Julie S from Florence

Annoying volume reset feature
I find the sound quality of this unit to be quite good but the thing Im finding annoying is that whenever I stop using it for more than 20 minutes the volume automatically resets itself to 0. I have my Airport Express connected to the Auxiliary port in the back to play music wirelessly using Airplay and any time I connect to the Sounddock I have to find the remote to turn the volume up. Its quite frustrating as I purchased this unit mainly to play music through Airplay and I would like to keep the volume on the speakers at something louder than it currently sets itself to every time. …

At 5th level, characters with the Order Adept theme who don't have spellbooks are supposed to get the ability to pick from the Wizard list when they gain or retrain utility powers. A quick test suggests that this isn't working.
Rather that writing my own thread, I figured I'd bump yours. I have this problem as well.
Order Adept was working for me perfectly before (i.e. last week), but now for some reason the CB has changed to an alternate version of the theme where the level 5 feature only affects level 2 encounter powers and the level 10 feature is back to a pre-errata +2 bonus. Really odd, as as far as I know this is the only place I've seen the theme written up this way.
Bump. This issue is still unresolved and not on the known issue list.

2014 TE fits ideal mold
Chicago prospect Weishar has size, hands, ability to make impact at BCS level
Updated: October 11, 2012, 1:08 AM ET
Chantel Jennings | WolverineNation
CHICAGO -- If there were some kind of recipe for putting together the complete tight end, its end result might just be 2014 target Nic Weishar (Chicago/Marist).
Take his history as an offensive lineman (blocking), add his career as a basketball player (hands), his outstanding work in the classroom and film room (mentality), and his size (6-foot-5, 215 pounds) and the outcome is a specimen who has gained interest from top programs across the country.
"I think at his position and for his skills, what he brings to the table -- that's something that schools and teams need," Marist coach Pat Dunne said. "It's a position that you're seeing more and more, even in the NFL and colleges, using that type of tight end -- a guy that can split out or a guy that can have his hand on the ground and block well. It's hard to find those guys."

Dish Network's subscriber trends show improvement
The satellite broadcaster has turned back to positive subscriber gains from the past two quarters.
In our opinion, while the subscriber trends could potentially show improvement, the TiVo dispute settlement was already reflected in the market price and there was uncertainty around Dish's plan with its acquired wireless assets. Not much has changed since then, except that expectations of subscriber improvements have changed into reality with a positive shock.
The broadcaster's first-quarter earnings demonstrated that the company did better than its prime rival DirecTV (DTV) -- and much better than cable providers Comcast (CMCSA) and Time Warner Cable (TWC).
Subscriber trend improvement: from possibility to reality
When Dish Network acquired Blockbuster, its strategy was to better hedge its business and improve its overall service to gain, or at least sustain, pay-TV subscribers. The results from the last two quarters show that the Blockbuster acquisition has led to a significant turnaround in subscriber trends for the company. Dish turned back to positive subscriber gains in Q4 2011, although the magnitude was low and built on that improvement to beat its rival DirecTV in net subscriber additions in Q1 2012.
Things certainly seem better for Dish Network and it appears that the appeal of streaming service cannot be ignored at all. What Netflix (NFLX) has demonstrated as a successful and high-growth business is being adopted by pay-TV providers to boost their own growth. Dish Network has been the earliest entrant among its competitors in the streaming business, and that is paying off.
Although, going forward, the market is going to get saturated and more competitive, this early move will help Dish build a quality subscriber base to leverage later on to further push its HD/DVR and streaming services.
Cost increments priced in
One might argue that although Dish is doing well in terms of subscriber additions, the margins are under pressure due to rising programming costs. However, this is an industry-wide trend and is not, in particular, a disadvantage to just Dish Network. To some extent, the rising programming costs can be mitigated by periodic price increases.
Dish has frozen the pricing for now as it attempts to increase the quality and quantity of its customer base. However, in the future, the company will inevitably have to raise prices, in-line with the industry move. We have already priced in the margin declines in our current price estimate of $34. 31. We believe that although the margins appear under pressure, Dish's stock can still grow if it can continue with its fantastic subscriber turnaround witnessed in Q1.
Risks -- failure with wireless broadband, programming costs increase more than expected
Although things have started to look better for Dish, its value could diminish if it fails in its wireless broadband plans. This could impact the company's long-term sustainability as it needs to enter the broadband business to diversify risk and compete better.
Furthermore, there is a risk from higher programming costs than we currently anticipate. Given that Dish Network has traditionally been a lower-priced pay-TV service, its subscriber base has been more sensitive to pricing changes. Therefore, price increases to offset programming costs may not be a sustainable strategy. Nevertheless, to mitigate this risk, the company is mainly focusing on adding high quality subscribers who are willing to shell out more money.

Column: Keeley's Corner
Freedom, Through Law And Vengeance
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013
Updated: Thursday, January 17, 2013 20:01
How do you make entertainment out of a subject as loaded as American slavery? It's a question that has haunted cinema since its very beginnings. D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation is widely acknowledged as one of the most technically innovative movies ever made, with its epic scale and thrilling use of intercutting forever changing the nature of narrative filmmaking. It is also notoriously racist, with a portrayal of the Ku Klux Klan as a heroic force uniting the nation against belligerent, sexually predatory blacks. Even in the less-enlightened times of 1915, the movie proved so controversial that Griffith spent the rest of his career atoning for it with liberal-minded films like Intolerance, the inter-racial romance Broken Blossoms and an Abraham Lincoln biopic.
Nearly a century later, the debate about how to treat the subject seems no less settled than it was in Griffith's day. Lincoln and Django Unchained have both garnered substantial critical praise and Oscar nominations, but they've also drawn the ire of a vocal minority for inappropriately dealing with the subject. Steven Spielberg's Lincoln has been accused of being a mythic simplification of history, a hero-worshipping portrait of Lincoln that has little sense of the black experience or the realities of war. Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino's provocative slavery revenge fantasy, has drawn far more controversy with accusations of irreverence, immaturity, and racism. The director Spike Lee, who has scuffled with Tarantino in the past, passed judgment on Twitter, saying "American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western. It Was A Holocaust."
Lee is right, of course—but that doesn't make Django Unchained an illegitimate way of treating the subject. If Lee actually bothered to see the movie, he might be surprised to find that amid all the gleeful carnage and genre movie references is a pretty serious movie about the injustice of slavery. But I wouldn't count on it. Like so many other critics of Django and Lincoln, Lee sees the movie through a politically correct filter that allows him to criticize it for what it isn't rather than appreciating it for what it is.
What, then, do these movies have to offer? To my eyes, they are two seriously shrewd, diametrically opposed but weirdly complementary movies about America's most horrific legacy. How do you confront the evils of slavery? In Lincoln, the answer is through legal procedures, political arm-twisting, and above all, compromise. In Django Unchained, compromise is rejected: as so often in Tarantino's movies, justice must ultimately come through bloodletting.
Of course, slavery was ultimately abolished through a combination of these two factors: the 13th Amendment made it official, but only after the deaths of 750,000 Americans. Lincoln dramatizes the first half of this equation, and what impresses me above all about the movie is its singular focus. Despite all appearances, Lincoln is not your typical bloated biopic: it is tightly confined, in subject and mood. It rarely leaves the claustrophobic, musty setting of the 1865 White House, and what emerges from the movie's exquisitely written and acted scenes of political maneuvering is a great movie about the political process—about achieving a noble end through decidedly imperfect means. Yet, toward the end, Spielberg reminds us of the larger picture. For a movie dominated by talk, Lincoln's most haunting scene is a silent one, as Lincoln sadly tours the carnage of a battlefield, surveying the tragic human cost needed to make the legislation a reality.
Django Unchained is about vigorously rejecting compromise: its climax turns on the refusal to shake hands with an evil slaver, initiating a massive bloodbath. The last half hour of the movie, in which Django enacts his revenge, showcases Tarantino's penchant for comically over-the-top violence, and it's as hilariously campy and ridiculous as anything he's done. But crucially, Django never trivializes the violence doled out to slaves. Those moments are deadly serious and repulsive, and the movie has a strong empathy for the slave characters. The movie's final shootout is so wonderfully cathartic because it's been built upon such horrific images, so that every killing seems justified. The movie is like a hallucinatory trip into Tarantino's mind, in which moral outrage is channeled into merciless revenge, western-style. Or, to borrow from Tarantino's own oeuvre, the movie is the ultimate embodiment of that fake Ezekiel quote from Pulp Fiction, showing that the only response to the greatest evils are great vengeance and furious anger.
Spielberg has made a respectable, Oscar-friendly movie—Tarantino, not so much. I wouldn't be surprised if Lincoln wins Best Picture, nor would I be disappointed. But in the spirit of compromise, I propose a new category. If ever there were a Best Double Feature of 2012, this is surely it.

Torture on tap in Tokyo
I am ordering vodka and Red Bull at $10 a pop at the bar of a posh Ginza club and a woman dressed as a nurse carrying a silver tray full of syringes taps me on the shoulder.
"Open your mouth!" she says with a wink.
"OK then." And she squirts some strawberry-flavoured cocktail down my throat.
Moments later another pretty girl dressed in a skin-tight pink rubber "Cat Woman" suit introduces herself as Azusa. "I work at the Torture Dungeon."
"Of course you do, sweetheart," I reply, becoming increasingly confused at how this exclusive "Night of the Body" theme party was being passed off as a "fashion event" with so many people having squeezed themselves into rubber, leather and barbed wire. Whatever cracks your whip, I guess.

Location: Agricultural Systems Research Unit
Technical Abstract: Tillage may influence the proportions of microorganisms involved in soil aggregation. We evaluated the effects of no till (NT) and conventional tillage (CT, tillage depth about 7 cm) continuous spring wheat system on bacterial communities predominant in microaggregates (0.25-0.05 mm) and on saprophytic basidiomycete fungi in aggregate-size classes (4.75-2.00, 2.00-0.25, and 0.25-0.05 mm) at 0-20 cm depth of a Williams loam (fine-loamy, mixed, Typic Argiborolls) in semiarid eastern Montana, USA. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay used to quantify basidiomycete fungi, was higher in NT than in CT in 4.75-2.00 mm size class in 2007 and higher in all size classes and years at 0-5 cm depth, but was not different between tillage, years, and aggregate-size classes at 5-20 cm. The predominant bacteria from microaggregates were subjected to a soil sedimentation assay to determine their soil binding capability. The proportion of isolates which can function as soil aggregators was higher in NT than in CT at 0-5 cm but was not different at 5-20 cm. Our results provide a first insight into the beneficial effects of dryland NT compared to CT in probably reducing soil disturbance and residue incorporation and enriching the proportion of microorganisms responsible for aggregation, especially at the surface soil.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, right, speaks as President Barack Obama meets with members of the National Governors Association regarding the fiscal cliff Tuesday in the Roosevelt Room at the White House in Washington. Counterclockwise, from Walker are, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton, Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe, Utah Gov. Gary Herbert, Budget Director Jeff Zients, White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs David Agnew, Director of National Economic Council Gene Sperling, NGA Vice Chairman and Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, and the president.
Members of the National Governors Association executive committee, from left, Utah Gov. Gary Herbert; Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker; Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton; Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe; and Chairman, Delaware Gov. Jack Markell, talk to reporters outside the West Wing of the White House in Washington on Tuesday following their meeting with President Barack Obama regarding the fiscal cliff.
WASHINGTON — Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe left a meeting with President Barack Obama on Tuesday saying state governors are willing to assist the federal government in avoiding the fiscal cliff.
"States are willing to share the sacrifice," Beebe told reporters gathered outside the White House. "We don't want to take it all, but we are willing to do our part."
Obama met with six members of the National Governors Association executive committee to discuss automatic spending cuts and tax increases that will go into effect Jan. 1 if Congress and the White House don't agree on a budget plan.
The NGA group, which included three Democrats and three Republicans, did not endorse a specific plan but expressed unified interest in seeing a deal struck. They offered their assistance and will work with Vice President Joe Biden moving forward.
"There was a unity by all of these governors … not to get too specific but to express our willingness to aid and assist with the effort," said Beebe, a Democrat.
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, a Republican, said she is hoping that the Senate and House can come up with a solution by the end of the month that will take into account the impact budget cuts can have on states, particularly when federal mandates remain in place.
"We ask for flexibility to do what is in the best interest of our states," Fallin said.
Beebe said the governors also stressed the need for quick action.
"With delay you've got a drag on the economy," he said.
The White House and Republicans in Congress have staked out competing proposals to avert the fiscal cliff.
House Republicans on Monday proposed a $2.2 trillion plan that includes $800 billion in higher tax revenues but does not raise rates for high-income earners. Obama's plan would raise taxes by $1.6 trillion over the coming decade, including higher taxes on the top 2 percent.
Prior to meeting with Obama and Biden, the governors sat down with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Office of Management and Budget Director Jack Lew and other White House staff to discuss the fiscal cliff.
"We had good interchanges back and forth," Beebe said.
The governors met later with House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Beebe missed those meetings to head back to Arkansas.
Attending the White House meeting were Beebe, Fallin, Delaware Gov. Jack Markell, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, Utah Gov. Gary Herbert and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

The final four GOP presidential candidates came out swinging Wednesday night on earmarks, the economy, healthcare and the automotive bailout in the 20th and final debate before the decisive Super Tuesday contests.
Much of the jabs were directed at the unlikely new front-runner former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who is fresh off a triple-play of victories in Minnesota, Colorado and Missouri.
Asked by CNN moderator John King why he ran an ad accusing Santorum of being a fake, feisty Texas Rep. Ron Paul retorted, Because hes a fake.
Paul went on to attack Santorums support for the No Child Left Behind legislation, which he now plans to repeal if elected president.
I find it really fascinating that when people are running for office theyre really fiscally conservative, charged Paul. When theyre in office they do something different. Then, when they explain themselves, they say oh I want to repeal that.
"Look, politics is a team sport, folks," Santorum said of the measure backed by Republican President George W. Bush and other GOP lawmakers. "I voted for that; it was against the principles I believe in, but I did that to help the team. Sometimes you have to take one for the team."
Santorum has surged ahead of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney heading into two key primaries Tuesday one in Arizona, where the debate was held, and the other in Michigan, where Romney was born and his father served as governor.
With so much at stake, the candidates began the debate with their views on how they would bring down the nations national debt, which is now more than $15.3 trillion.
Santorum pledged to trim $5 trillion from the deficit over five years, but leave defense spending intact.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsmax.com ...
SANTORUM's PLAN FOR DEALING WITH BUDGET DEFICIT AND DEBT:
* Repeal Obamacare. Thats the one entitlement that we can get rid of, he said to applause. And thats a couple trillion dollars in spending over the next 10 years.
* Unlike the Paul Ryan plan we will also deal with Medicare and Social Security not 10 years from now but we have to start dealing with it now because our country is facing fiscal bankruptcy.
I was glad to see Newt seize the moment to kick the MSM right in the bias...
....When (IL State Senator) Bammie voted to allow doctors to commit infanticide....
...killing the babies that survived an abortion...
I hope many millions heard that one....
I wasn't home so I didn't get to watch the debate. Did Newt bring up 0s vote on the Born Alive act?
Of course I also have the sneaking suspicion that the headlines were written and the pic chosen before the debate ever took place...
RE: I hope many millions heard that one....
The contraception question is really a PLUS for any GOP candidate.
I actually WANT it to be brought up in the presidential debate vs Obama.
Firstly, it will allow them to highlight how Obama and his HHS are taking away our FREEDOM. Make it a First Amendment issue.
Secondly, as Newt pointed out, one can turn it around Jiu-Jitsu style and remind people who EXTREME Obama is when he REFUSED to save Babies who survive abortion.
The name of current abortion survivors and nurses who witnessed the procedure can even be brought up for reference.
They can also say that even pro-choice legislators like Barbara Boxer VOTED FOR a similar bill at the Federal level even as Obama refused to do it in Illinois.
I noticed that the point in the debate where Santorum said that Romney did not have to raise taxes in Mass. to pay for his Romneycare because he stole 3 or 400 million dollars from all the rest of the taxpayers across the country to pay for it and now Deval Patrick is looking for 50 billion dollars to pay for the disaster,I thought romney looked like he crapped his pants.I watched the kiss romney ass love fest and bash Santorum show on Fox this morning and of course they did not show that clip.

RE: Did Newt bring up 0s vote on the Born Alive act?
ABSOLUTELY and it was brilliant.
It was in the context of a question of the HHS contraception mandate.
In so many words.
When the moderator was asking the candidates about contraception, Newt asked why the media never asked Obama about his support of infanticide.
I though Santorum had a rough night. He got bogged down in Washington insiderness. He needs to be more deft on his feet.
For instance, I understand the point he was trying to illustrate with his support for Title 10. He was basically saying that, while he is personally opposed to contraception and Planned Parenthood, he doesn't let his personal beliefs dictate how he governs.
However, it came off looking like he is willing to vote for stuff he doesn't believe in for political expediency.
He also had trouble with the earmarking issue. He should have just left it alone.
Newt had a great night, and I was personally glad that Ron Paul was given more time on domestic issues to make the strong case for limited government.
He is absolutely right about abortion and contraception being symptoms of an immoral society, rather than the cause.
I agree.
However, it came off looking like he is willing to vote for stuff he doesnt believe in for political expediency.
That answer on why he voted for NCLB but now opposes it was absolutely awful. One of the biggest gaffes I've seen in these debates.
He also had trouble with the earmarking issue. He should have just left it alone.
Agreed, again.
The problem with Santorum is he's not a good formal debater. He makes lots of simple mistakes in this format. I don't understand how some people think it was a good performance.
FU Milt, and your puppet RuPaul.
NCLB was a centerpiece bill in socialist lite Bush's new Presidency. He could either get behind it, as did virtually all Republicans, or become an ineffective outcast for his final four years. Laura was George's downfall, and one of the main reasons that we now have Obama, and why it has become tougher for a conservative to win a nomination. Bob
I completely understand that.
But, there has to be a much better way to answer that question in a primary debate that does not give the (what appears to be correct) impression that Santorum will support his party over his principles.
I groaned. Members of the audience groaned. And I guarantee a lot of people watching at home, wondering if they should support Santorum, groaned.
