Approximately 88% of those households subscribe to a service that carries the retransmitted signals of broadcast stations over fiber optic cables, telephone lines, or through a satellite dish on the premises. Such services, known as multichannel video programming distributors ("MVPDs") retransmit broadcast television signals pursuant to a regulatory framework constructed by Congress and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The remaining households generally use an individual antenna that receives broadcast signals directly over the air from a television station. Important parts of the regulatory framework, contained in the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act (STELA, P.L. 111-175), are scheduled to expire on December 31, 2014. Without congressional action, 1.5 million satellite television households, mainly in rural areas, are likely to lose access to distant network broadcast signals after that date. In addition, the FCC's prohibition on joint retransmission consent negotiations between two separately owned top-four stations within the same market would become moot, and the overall risk of consumers losing access to broadcast television stations during a negotiations impasse would increase. On July 22, 2014, the House passed H.R. 4572, the STELA Reauthorization Act of 2014. H.R. 4572 would provide a five-year extension of expiring provisions. It also would broaden the FCC's current limitations on separately owned broadcasters' ability to jointly enter retransmission consent negotiations and immediately repeal the FCC's ban on integrating the security and navigation functions of cable set-top boxes. In addition, it would delay the FCC's enforcement of recently enacted rules restricting joint sales agreements among broadcasters and eliminate FCC rules barring satellite and cable operators from deleting broadcasters' programming or changing their channel assignments during certain periods. On June 26, 2014, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved S. 2454, the Satellite Television Access Reauthorization Act of 2014. On September 17, 2014, the Senate Commerce Committee approved S. 2799, the Satellite Television Access and Viewer Rights Act (STAVRA). Similar to H.R. 4572, both S. 2454 and S. 2799 would provide a five-year extension of expiring provisions. In addition, S. 2799, similar to H.R. 4572, would broaden the FCC's current limitations on separately owned broadcasters' ability to enter joint negotiations concerning retransmission consent and repeal the FCC's ban on integrating the security and navigation functions of cable set-top boxes. S. 2799 would direct the FCC to develop a streamlined process for small cable operators to file "effective competition" petitions and, for the purpose of modifying the local market of a television station, consider whether doing so would promote consumers' access to in-state programming. S. 2799 would also extend the market modification process to satellite operators, and direct the FCC to post information about the market modification process on its website. On November 19, 2014, the House passed H.R. 5728, which would delay the repeal of the integration ban until one year after the law's enactment, and brings the House version of STELA closer to its counterparts in the Senate. Meanwhile, several bills are pending in Congress to address concerns about "orphan counties" in which consumers may not be able to receive broadcast stations that provide news, sports, and public affairs programming of interest in their state. Both H.R. 4572 and S. 2799 direct the FCC to issue a report to Congress to analyze alternatives to its current definition of local television markets.

Book excerpt: The Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act (STELA), and its legislative predecessors, have served to help satellite television operators provide their subscribers with access to broadcast TV channels thus allowing these companies to compete on a level playing field with other providers in the video marketplace. The driving force behind these laws are the worthy goals of ensuring not only that consumers have access to the programming they desire, but that they have a choice of provider in a competitive marketplace that fosters better content, more services, and lower prices. These laws have helped DISH Network and DIRECTV to offer pay-TV services to millions living in areas not previously served by other pay-TV providers. With provisions in STELA set to expire, approximately 1.5 million people would be harmed.

Download or read book Yvain written by Chretien de Troyes and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1987-09-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.

Book excerpt: ‘KUMBA AFRICA’, is a compilation of African Short Stories written as fiction by Sampson Ejike Odum, nostalgically taking our memory back several thousands of years ago in Africa, reminding us about our past heritage. It digs deep into the traditional life style of the Africans of old, their beliefs, their leadership, their courage, their culture, their wars, their defeat and their victories long before the emergence of the white man on the soil of Africa. As a talented writer of rich resource and superior creativity, armed with in-depth knowledge of different cultures and traditions in Africa, the Author throws light on the rich cultural heritage of the people of Africa when civilization was yet unknown to the people. The book reminds the readers that the Africans of old kept their pride and still enjoyed their own lives. They celebrated victories when wars were won, enjoyed their New yam festivals and villages engaged themselves in seasonal wrestling contest etc; Early morning during harmattan season, they gathered firewood and made fire inside their small huts to hit up their bodies from the chilling cold of the harmattan. That was the Africa of old we will always remember. In Africa today, the story have changed. The people now enjoy civilized cultures made possible by the influence of the white man through his scientific and technological process. Yet there are some uncivilized places in Africa whose people haven’t tested or felt the impact of civilization. These people still maintain their ancient traditions and culture. In everything, we believe that days when people paraded barefooted in Africa to the swarmp to tap palm wine and fetch firewood from there farms are almost fading away. The huts are now gradually been replaced with houses built of blocks and beautiful roofs. Thanks to modern civilization. Donkeys and camels are no longer used for carrying heavy loads for merchants. They are now been replaced by heavy trucks and lorries. African traditional methods of healing are now been substituted by hospitals. In all these, I will always love and remember Africa, the home of my birth and must respect her cultures and traditions as an AFRICAN AUTHOR.
