Mountain climber Aron Ralston, the inspiration for the Oscar-nominated film "127 Hours," will compete for the non-profit organization Wilderness Workshop on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 (8-10 p.m. ET).Ralston, now a motivational speaker, was forced to amputate his right arm with a dull knife in order to free himself after his arm became trapped by a boulder during a canyoneering hike in Utah in May 2003.
The incident is documented in Ralston's 2004 autobiography "Between a Rock and a Hard Place" and is the subject of the 2010 film "127 Hours," starring James Franco, nominated for an Academy Award for "Best Actor." The Wilderness Workshop is the conservation watchdog of the the 2.3 million acre White River National Forest and other nearby federal public lands in the Rocky Mountains.

I love that about being an employee and subscriber of DISH, the fact that they have the TV everywhere technology. I can’t tell you how convenient it is to be able to stream all of my programming anywhere and everywhere I go. It’s perfect for people who travel or live an on-the-go lifestyle.
