Readers Interview: Sanjaye (Mauritius)
In order to create an online platform to exchange information between our readers, we've started with interviews with our readers.
They all work in sports, and therefore have experience to share with all of us.
Name: Sanjaye Goboodun
Country: Mauritius
Function within your sport organization:
- 1st Vice President NOC Mauritius
- President National Olympic Academy
- Co Chair Sport & Environment Commission
- Secretary Mauritius Badminton Association
Current employer: Chemical Engineer
Most practiced sports in Mauritius: Football
1.How did you come involved in your sport organization, and what kind of tasks/functions do you have?
Well I started my sport life as a badminton athlete. Had to stop sport career due to academic studies and joined in again as technical official and administrator. Afterwards through various stages I got elected in the National Olympic Committee (NOC).
Within the badminton association I have to look over the secretarial aspects of the board meetings and office duties. At the NOC I am mainly responsible for promotion of Olympic values throughout our sporting realm.
2. What is the biggest challenge you currently have?
Our biggest challenge here is to provide athletes the needed environment for them to prosper. It is not always easy to have all complementary requirements that the sport organization /athletes need to succeed. There will always be some missing links and we, as administrators, have to manage with what we have and make thing happens.
3. People often underestimate being a volunteer working in sports management. What do you think are the most important characteristics for a volunteer responsible for sports administration?
I firmly believe that the most important aspect for us volunteers is to self questioned our commitment taken towards our sport organization.
Voluntarism is not imposed. It is a choice and in doing so we have to be committed. It doesn't take great men or women to do great things, just those who are greatly dedicated to doing them!
4. Does your sport organization make use of facebook, social media and websites ?
Unfortunately use of social media or websites is quite limited here in Mauritius. It's not that we don't have the necessary devices or know-how but we still need to be more organized, structured and professional in introducing these tools as a means of disseminating information and communication with our stakeholders.
5. Do you have any favorite sport management resources (books, films, magazines or websites?)
Resources and community of practice developed through the Olympic Solidarity MEMOS study (Executive Sports Management) that I have followed years back have greatly influenced my way of thinking on sport management.
6. What do you think are the most important characteristics for a volunteer responsible for sports administration?
Enthusiasm, Commitment and Values – based involvement.
7. How do companies and potential sponsors see your sport? And how does this affect your approach towards them?
Sport sponsorship is not so well developed in our country due to many factors such as – no tax rebate incentives from government, negative image of some sport federations, poor sponsorship marketing by sport leaders.
To approach sport sponsors we need firstly to ensure that our product i.e. our organization and/or the event, is 'clean'. Meaning that sponsors are willing to associate themselves with us. Secondly the way we present or sell the product is important. We should know how to ask and what to ask. Last but not least, we should clearly show the potential sponsor what they will benefit in partnering with our organization.
Unfortunately, sponsorship in our country is still dependant in personal contacts and familiarity bonds that members have with business leaders.
8. What do you consider as biggest threat for your sport, and why?
Biggest threat nowadays is to get youngsters interested in 'physical sports'. More and more we see our youngsters playing video games sports rather than actually practicing sports as a competitive activity.
Also for small country like Mauritius, an athlete has little professional career prospects and as such competitive sport practice does suffer.
9. Where do you see your sport in 10 years? Will you still be part of the organization?
We are doing our best to upgrade and develop our sport. We have to move and adapt to changing environment and provide athletes with their updated needs to ensure the continuity of the sport. I really wish to be still here in 10 years time or more to see our organization on top.
10. What else would you like to share with the online readers of www.sportmanagement.cc ?
Stay in touch with this link and share our common knowledge for the promotion of our sport organizations and in the interest of our athletes.
"Even if everyone says you don't stand a chance, don't give up your dreams".
28 Rules
We all have experienced Murphy's Law in our sports organization. You have either a big sport competition, seminar or trip, and a small thing happens, and sets off a whole chain of other problems and obstacles.
I personally do not believe in superstition, but I have mentioned "Murphy Law" in the past on numerous occasions. The best way to explain this law is like "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong".
Well, recently I listened to a presentation of Peter Diamandis, who does not believe in such a law. In fact, he wrote 28 Rules who are too good not to share.
Read everyone of them, and just remember them next time you fall into a negative spiral.
- If anything can go wrong, Fix It!!… to hell with Murphy!
- When given a choice… take both!!
- Multiple projects lead to multiple successes.
- Start at the top, then work your way up.
- Do it by the book… but be the author!
- When forced to compromise, ask for more.
- If you can't win, change the rules.
- If you can't change the rules, then ignore them.
- Perfection is not optional.
- When faced without a challenge, make one.
- "No" simply means begin again at one level higher.
- Don't walk when you can run.
- When in doubt: THINK!
- Patience is a virtue, but persistence to the point of success is a blessing.
- The squeaky wheel gets replaced.
- The faster you move, the slower time passes, the longer you live.
- The best way to predict the future is to create it yourself!
- The ratio of something to nothing is infinite.
- You get what you incentivize.
- If you think it is impossible, then it is… for you.
- An expert is someone who can tell you exactly how it can't be done.
- The day before something is a breakthrough, it's a crazy idea.
- If it were easy it would have been done already.
- Without a target you'll miss it every time.
- Fail early, fail often, fail forward!
- If you can't measure it, you can't improve it.
- The world's most precious resource is the persistent and passionate human mind.
- Bureaucracy is an obstacle to conquer with persistence, confidence and a bulldozer when necessary.

The biggest sportmanagement mistake in small organizations
I am sure that you recognize this: A motivated group of people, most of the time headed by an amateur coach (=passionate sports lover), who runs a sports organization like a club, an after-school program or a community sports project. It always starts with just having fun, and then suddenly you want to enter a competition, travel abroad with your athletes, or perhaps affiliate to a national governing body to become eligible for funding.
You then realize that you need to have your documents (constitution, member administration, strategic plan) in order, and operate like a 'real' organization. The stress is reaching higher levels, because obviously there is a deadline (to travel, to enter a competition or to send your application for subsidy).
So what do you do?
What I see happening all the time, is that people reach to former athletes in that same sport. Athletes are asked to get on board, and assume the position of president, secretary or worst case the treasurer.
"It's like asking a car mechanic to get in the board of a racecar team"
I am sure that majority of the car mechanics (with all respect) do not have a clue of management.
The fact that a former athlete had a good career on the field, does not mean that he/she has the ability to work with numbers, think strategically or do the marketing of your sports organization.
It would be of course tremendous if you can get an athlete who also have the most important characteristics of a sports administrator, but what are the chances?
There is one situation though, where it would be excellent to have a former athlete in your team. Situations where you need (public) attention for your sports or event, are ideal to attract former athletes. So you are not using any of his/her theoretical knowledge, but you are benefitting from his already established positive image. I consider this more as a temporary task, than a longterm decision in favor or the growth of your sports organization.
What do you think? Do you see any other big mistakes in sports management? I would appreciate it if you could share them in the comment section below.
Make your goals S.M.A.R.T !
If you are part of a sport organization, you are probably participating in meetings. I want to ask you to analyze the next couple of meetings you attend, and count the number of ideas that are being brought forward. We all have ideas about how the development of our athlete, team, club, association or federation should take place, but one idea is definitely better than the other.
Goals often start with brainstorming. This is not always necessary, but it stimulates the interaction between your colleagues. Basically there is only one rule with brainstorming, and that is that as long as everybody stays within the topic "there are no limitations to the ideas". You just shoot off any idea, and do not allow small thinking taking over. It is fun, and one impossible idea will lead to another, which may seem more realistic to achieve.
But what is next? Your sports organization has a good idea, but how do you make it really happen?
What happens a lot is that a commission is installed to realize the goal or project. But then people get busy with their daily lives, don't have the time for this idea or perhaps blame others for not having followed up on the goal…..does this looks familiar?
In my opinion this is lack of making the goals S.M.A.R.T. ( introduced by G. T. Doran 1981)
SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-sensitive.
I will explain SMART goals with the example of a sport organization aiming to get a sponsor. Don't make the common mistake by asking a student to make a marketing plan, or start sending sponsor requests immediately!
My advice to you is to start asking yourself the following questions:
Is your goal SPECIFIC?
What do you want to accomplish with a sponsor? What kind of sponsor do you want. Do you only aim for financial sponsoring, or would Value in Kind, give you the same benefits? What kind of business areas will you target for this sponsor and why? If you have specific answers on these questions you can move to the next aspect.
Is your goal MEASURABLE?
If you do not make your goal measurable, you will never know whether you are making progress towards the successful completion of your goal.
What sponsor budget are you aiming for? Would you also take two smaller sponsors for 50% of the budget? How big/popular should the sponsoring organization be? Regional, national or international orientated?
What time frame will you set to get appointments with potential sponsors? How many people from your sportorganization will be involved?
Is your goal ATTAINABLE?
For small sportorganizations with perhaps 20-30 young kids, it would not be attainable (realisitic) to aim for a million dollar sponsorship deal.
On the other hand, if that same small sportorganization, already has a couple of sponsors giving each one hundred thousand dollars, it may be much more realistic to get a one million dollar sponsor.
Another example is that if your sponsor commission consists out of business people with the right contacts, the goal of getting a sponsor is much closer.
So the context of your situation here is the key factor. Your most important question is "how can the goal be accomplished?".
It is important to take some time and ask yourself how close you are to getting to your goal.
Is your goal RELEVANT?
Relevant goals are connected with other goals in your sport organization. This is of course always the case with money, but sometimes the time is simply not right to approach potential sponsors.
Or sometimes the people chosen within your organization to get the sponsors are not relevant? Don't choose only the volunteers, who perhaps don't have the slightest idea (or background) about sponsorships and marketing. They will organize the same dreadful carwash, fundraising barbeque or perhaps lottery.
Is your goal TIME-sensitive?
If you aim to win a medal at the Olympics with your team, you automatically have a deadline for the coming Olympic Games (RIO2016).
You should set deadlines for all projects, ideas and goals within your sport organization. If you want to get a sponsor, you could set your deadline in 10 months, and then break this down in monthly subgoals.
There is of course much more to getting sponsors, but if you make it a habit, to start with making your goals/projects SMART, you will be ahead of 90% of the others in sports.

10 Management lessons from the Olympics
During the beginning of August I attended the Olympic Games in London, which were my second Olympics. My first experience were four years ago in Beijing (China), which ended like a nightmare as our best athlete was disqualified on the 200m, and therefore lost his silver medal. After a week he got the medal from the USA runner who didn't feel that he deserved the medal.
If you want to know more about this story you can watch this short video. It is an experience that I will never forget in my life.
Obviously there are millions invested in the Games, and as such it is one of the most professional events that you'll ever see. My attendance at the London Games gave me the possibility to:
- analyze different aspects of the Olympic Games and
- compare it with other (inter)national events that I attended as part of my profession.
Looking back I would like to share the following 10 points, which are valuable for any sport organization to think about.
1. Re-evaluate your logo
You can divide the people taking pictures during the Olympics in three general groups:
- it is either with an athlete
- during a competition
- it is standing next to the Olympic Rings
I was wondering what exactly the reason is for people to take pictures with the brand. They were definitely not taking pictures with the Coca-Cola or McDonalds logos, so that got me thinking!
The following reasons are possible:
- People want to have proof that they were really at the Olympics
- People identify with the brand and the Olympic philosophy
- The scarcity of the visibility of the rings gives the Olympic logo more value compared to other logos
Without really knowing the reason, it is a fact that the rings are one of the most recognized brands in the world. At the Olympics of 1932 (Los Angeles) the rings were used for the first time. So this brand has been gaining popularity over the last 70 years!
Now what can you take from this for your own sport organization? Re-evaluate your logo (as part of your brand) and ask yourself whether it stands for something. Is it a lot of clutter with many colors, or is it simple and modern?
The most important aspect is that it should be recognizable, and you should use it everywhere……on your letters, in your emails, on your flyers, press releases…EVERYWHERE!
Can you imagine how powerful your sports and organization would be if people would feel so attracted to your logo, that they want to take their picture with it?
2. Educate your volunteers
As I already pointed out in this other article, Sports really cannot do without volunteers. This goes for every level, so also at the Olympic level. Everytime you work with volunteers, you should focus on
- Quantity (how many volunteers do you need to recruit?)
- Quality (what capacities do you need?)
In small sport organizations it tends to be very difficult to get enough volunteers, which is a guarantee. On the other hand the volunteers that you may get for your organization lack the skills or the motivation.
The London Olympics truly have done an excellent job with the recruitment of their volunteers (more than 12.000). Not only represented the volunteers a wide range of different cultures. They also showed sincere hospitality, and commitment to their (boring) jobs. Can you imagine standing hours in the subway ("the tube"), asking people to take the stairs? Or at night, standing on the side of the road with thousands of people passing by, and saying "thanks for coming, and safe trip back".
The spirit of the volunteers was truly amazing, and it has already become a tradition that during the Olympic closing ceremony, there is a special segment dedicated to the volunteers.
Our lesson: Invest time in your volunteers. Organize informational workshops, where you get everybody on the same page, and also create a teamspirit. It doesn't matter how big/small your sport event is. What matters is that your volunteers are of vital influence in the experience of your visitors/supporters.
3. Expect the unexpected
On two separate occasions I was witness of the police handcuffing somebody in the crowd and taking him away. You can imagine that all the Olympic venues are heavily secured with policemen, soldiers and also undercover security. Although you prepare for months or years in advance, there will always be incidents that you didn't prepare for. You therefore need a calamity plan, and more important inform your volunteers that they should "Expect the unexpected!"
Whatever happens, the show must go on, so be prepared for rain, electricity loss, injuries, vandalism, aggressiveness, drugs/alcohol abuse etcetera…
4. People will always complain
One of the most important characteristics of a successful sports managers is the ability to deal with people. And wherever you are, people with their different characteristics will act differently.
During the Olympics, I was fortunate enough to have access to the VIP stands, together with high ranked Olympic officials and politicians. Surprisingly on numerous occasions I saw VIP's acting like spoiled children, shouting at volunteers who were simply doing their job. You wouldn't think that these were VIPs…simply embarrassing!
The lesson here for me is, that at my local sport events I am prepared that I will get complaints, and that I should instruct and educate my volunteers how to handle these. There are VIP's though that I need to monitor closely (like my sponsors) …BUT ONLY TO A CERTAIN EXTENT.
If my sponsor expects me to treat him (or her) as a spoiled little brat, I will not do it! Even if this means that I will lose the sponsorship!
We need to stick to our standards, and can always use the words "Sorry Sir/Madam, I accept that our organization is not perfect but today this is the best we can do for you"
5. Do not over communicate only your own successes
As a spectator at the Olympics it if impossible to follow all 26 sports at the same time. That is the reason why I went to bed with the Olympic news on the TV, and also woke up with the same TV Channel.
One of the negative aspects of the local broadcasters was the fact that the focus was primarily on the "Team GB", and now and then on the other countries. So in my personal opinion they over communicated their own athletes, and even only the winners. I saw the Men GB Basketball play, who lost 80% of their matches. Remarkably this team was never mentioned on the TV.
So my advise to you, whenever you host a sport event, is to give all participants a platform of communication. Every athlete, winners AND losers, should get a bit of the limelight.
6. Be flexible to adapt
One of the main problems during the Games were the sales of the event tickets. The organizers decided to only sell tickets online, and ONLY for the British !!
The fans from abroad were doomed to an official Ticket Reseller, who on it's turn was depending again on the daily availability of tickets from the Organizers. There were no ticketboxes at the venues open for the public.
The result of this were empty seats at the competitions, and people complaining that they couldn't purchase tickets.
I believe that the reason for this policy was to prevent illegal ticket sales, but it went over the top. If you had a spare ticket, you were not allowed to sell this at the gate, and people were not even allowed to hold up a sign saying "NEED 1 Ticket".
Obviously the ticketing system is a huge and very complicated system, but I think that the wishes of the fans were not considered enough.
So the lesson here is, that you should run through your event from the view of a spectator. How would they experience the parking facilities, the bathrooms, the seats or the waiting lines at the bar?
7. Remember gender equity
It is hard to believe, but the 2012 Olympics were the first ones where women were allowed to participate in ALL sport events. Boxing for woman was the last one to be added to the program.
The statistics are amazing: Two thirds of the gold medals won by Team USA, were won by women. The American women did not stand alone in leading their countries to the top of the medal tables. Women from China and Russia (#2 and #3 behind the U.S. in the total medal count), also took home more medals than their male counterparts.
Take a look at your organization. Do you have female referees, administrators or security personnel?
You can read this article I wrote about woman in sports.
8. Everybody defines his or her own success
Were these Olympics a success? You bet they were!
But I say this based on my own criteria. If London expected a huge economic impact during the 3 weeks, than reports say that it was not a success.
So everybody will rate the Olympics differently. I am sure that there are many athletes who had a successful event, simply because they improved their personal record…or perhaps just because they were there !
My advise to you is to define your goals (performance indicators) as you are preparing your sports event. How can you satisfy the atletes? How many spectators do you want? Do you want to make a profit? What media do you want to cover your event? Do you want an increase on your website or facebook page?
9. Don't underestimate the politics
During my work in sport management, I frequently heard that "Sports is the best school for politics". Although I don't consider myself a politician, I totally agree with this aspect. I know for a fact that in the same VIP box I spoke about above, many sport-political conversations took place, business deals were negotiated and political relationships were build.
It is a must that as a sports administrator you understand the rules of politics. Board decisions need to have support, and here and there you need to lobby to get decisions and policies approved.
In fact, before I left for the Olympics I found myself in a situation that I had to go on national television to contradict a declaration made by our Prime Minister.
Sports should basically not be mixed with politics, but that doesn't mean that political games are no part of sport management!
Always take time to meticulously manage the relations between the government of the day and the broader national sport development process. (Keith J.)
Don't be too friendly with any one politician as an athlete or be seen regularly with one. They will use this to their advantage and associate you with them. (Cheryl R.S.)
I believe as per theory: Sports and Politics should not be mixed. But in all practicality it will be next to impossible. Both Sports and Politics attracts the most attention every where as every one seems to understand and can relate to it more easily. (Devjeet C.)
"Do not mix sports with politics !". Sports is based on respect and adherence to rules, as well as fair play, which unfortunately are quite alien in politics. (Kok C.)
Use politics techniques in order to promote your sport! (Lakis A.)
I agree that politics and sport must never mix. However, "who pays the piper calls the tune." Only if Sports can become independent then the politician ill not get involved. These situations only happen in our third world countries where sport ministers look for opportunities to make press release since they do oohing to promote sports. (Mushtaque M.)
Restrictions to participate in political activities must be clearly spelled out in rules and regulations. This applies to any other anticipatory 'unsporting' actions. In Mauritius, politics is mentioned in our Athletics rules and regulations. (Raj M.)
I think small islands all try to use politics to control sports. (Andrew D.)
Your focus must always remain on your commitment to the delivery of your role and function as a Sport Manager/ Administrator. This should help you to avoid the trap of politics. (Catherine F.)
10. There is always room for improvement
Obviously I am not saying with this article that you should organize your local sport event as the Olympics! It would be (almost) impossible to organize a local sports event with such an impact, funding and exposure.
I've noticed some flaws in the Olympics, so there will always be room for improvement….in any sport event.
I therefore want to conclude this article with asking you to always self-criticize your work and projects, and if possible also evaluate your events so that you are aware of the way your audience and athletes perceived the event.
Your comments below in the box are appreciated

I took action right away, found a product with medium gravity, made a video and promoted it a little bit with fiverr gigs etc. Still no sales and I'm not getting views if i'm not buying to promote. If someone know's their shit in this kind of buisness I would be very thankful if you could review/give feedback on my video, what I'm doing wrong etc. I will pm the url

Onyx has become more affordable than ever, making it a popular choice for jewelry. Even the simplest pieces can give the impression of sophistication and style. If you are considering purchasing onyx jewelry, there are some things you should know ahead of time.
Onyx Facts
Onyx is a variety of chalcedony, which consists of quartz and moganite, and it is mainly found in India, Madagascar and Brazil. In the U.S., it can be found in California.
The stone is usually black, but some varieties are brown with white or reddish lines – these stones are also known as sardonyx.
Onyx has a hardness of 7 out of 10 on the Mohs scale, so it is a relatively durable stone, but it can still scratch or chip.
Onyx Colors: Not Only Black
Onyx comes mainly in three colors (or color combinations): black, black and white, and grey and white.
There are also other varieties, such as green or red onyx, but black is the most popular color of this stone.
It is worth noting that most onyx on the market has been artificially colored or heat treated to improve its appearance.
Beware of Imitations
Since agate is similar in terms of physical properties, a lot of stones sold as onyx are in fact dyed agate gems.
There are also a lot of black stones made of a softer material that are sold as onyx, so this is something to watch out for when shopping.
Check the Surface
The best onyx gemstones should have a well-polished and reflective surface and should appear slightly transparent.
The gemstone should not have any cracks or scratches on its surface, and the setting around the onyx should be clean and well-made.
Click here to see a selection of the newest and most popular onyx jewelry.
Pay Attention to the Setting
When it comes to onyx jewelry, the price is often more dependent on the design of the piece and not on the gemstone itself, which is relatively inexpensive.
Of course, larger pieces of onyx cost more, but the value still depends mainly on the setting and design.
Look Closely
There are jewelry stores that will use various lighting to make their gemstones look better.
If a store is too dark, for example, it may be difficult to see scratches, low quality settings or other flaws when looking at onyx jewelry.
Ask to see the jewelry under different kinds of light and also in well-lit conditions.
Don't Forget to Compare Offers
When shopping for onyx, check out several different places, as it may turn out that there are other stores offering realistic and reasonable prices for the same type of jewelry.
Once you decide to make a purchase at a certain store, make sure you get a return policy in writing before the sale is finalized.

Non-food inflation across all categories fell to zero from 0.3pc in December according to the BRC-Nielsen shop price index, while food inflation slowed to 3.7pc from 4.2pc.
It was the lowest level of food price inflation since July 2010 as discounted prices and lower commodity prices fed through. Cocoa and sugar prices fell by 31pc and 30pc respectively.
Food and non-food prices combined to drive overall shop price inflation down to 1.4pc in January from 1.7pc in December, the lowest since March 2010.
"With the impact of the 2011 VAT rise finally gone from annual comparisons these figures show how retailers are holding down prices for customers despite a range of upward pressures," said Stephen Robertson, the BRC's director general.
"Even though retailers are facing higher transport and property costs, overall non-food prices are exactly the same as a year ago. Within that, clothing, furniture and electricals were all cheaper than 12 months ago with the price of electrical goods falling at its fastest rate for three years."
The fall in shop price inflation reflected broader price trends, with the annual rate of inflation expected to fall sharply in 2012.
The consumer prices index fell from a high of 5.2pc in September to 4.2pc in December, and sharper falls are expected in the early part of this year as the January 2011 VAT rise falls out of annual comparisons.
"[This] should be a boost to customers' budgets and, crucially, should help to improve consumer confidence," Mr Robertson said.

Changes in store for 2007
Fans at Kansas Speedway will notice lots of changes this year, both on and off the track.
The two biggest changes for Kansas Speedway fans is the new April date for the IndyCar Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and the change to allow fans to bring coolers with their favorite food and beverages into the grandstands.
In April, fans will notice a few drivers changed teams in the IndyCar Series, the most noticeable being Danica Patrick moving to Andretti Green Racing. Scott Sharp replaced Patrick at Rahal Letterman.
Changes in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series include 2006 Kansas Craftsman Truck Series winner Terry Cook moving to the No. 59 Toyota, Brendan Gaughan changing from long-time manufacturer Dodge to Chevrolet, Dennis Setzer has moved from the No. 85 truck to the No. 75 and Mark Martin will return to the series.
The September NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series weekend will prove to have even more changes than April.
Former Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya will pilot the No. 42 Dodge for Chip Ganassi. Another open wheeler joining the NASCAR ranks is AJ Allmendinger, who will be behind the wheel of a Toyota entry. Brian Vickers has left Hendrick Motorsports to become Allmendinger's teammate while Casey Mears replaces Vickers in the No. 25 car. Michael Waltrip and Dale Jarrett headline the Toyota entries for Michael Waltrip Racing with NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series veteran David Reutimann driving a third entry for the team.
For the first time since 1988, Mark Martin won't be behind the wheel of a Jack Roush NEXTEL Cup entry as he moves to Ginn Racing (formerly MB2). Martin will compete part-time in NEXTEL Cup action in 2007 (sharing driving duties with Regan Smith), while also driving in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and NASCAR Busch Series. David Ragan will replace Martin in the No. 6 Ford.
Another veteran who is scaling back his NEXTEL Cup schedule is Ken Schrader, who will split time with Jon Wood in the No. 21 Ford.
ESPN/ABC is returning to handle the second-half of the NASCAR season. FOX will continue to air the first half. The NASCAR Busch Series will have a new home on ESPN/ABC for the entire season.
Sirius Satellite Radio is the new satellite radio home for all the NASCAR action.
Fans can expect more changes both on and off the track in the coming months.
To see all of these changes live, order your Kansas Speedway season tickets today by calling 866.460.RACE or logging onto www.kansasspeedway.com. Parking is always free at Kansas Speedway and fans are able to bring 6x6x12-inch soft-sided coolers into the grandstands.

[Editor's note: Why This Song Sucks determines why particular tracks blow using science. It appears on West Coast Sound every Wednesday.]

Song: Luke Bryan's "Drunk On You"
History: "Drunk On You" is a song by country musician Luke Bryan from an album that he had the audacity to name Tailgates & Tanlines. It's been at the top of Billboard's Country chart for about 100 years. I know some people who like it, but that's because my social circle is lacking. See below.
Atmospherics: Like someone said, "Well, we need a hit, but don't really want to try very hard, so let's rip the guts out of a few Kenny Chesney and Blake Shelton songs and call it a day. I don't imagine anyone'll notice. So... you guys maybe wanna go get a burger?"
Scientific Analysis: Minus its obvious creative CC:-ness, there are two significant barriers between "Drunk On You" and nonshittyness.
1. Boom goes the dynamite
Wordle is a program that assigns importance to words in bodies of text. How it works: You paste words into its entry box, and it generates a word cloud from the entry. The larger a word is inside the cloud, the more times it was used.
How does this help us? Easy. If we take something we already know to be fact -- in this case, that there is a definite correlation between the number of times that the word "boom" appears in a song and how terrible it is -- and combine it with this technology, we get a clearer understanding of why "Drunk On You" makes you wish a meteor would fall right the fuck onto your head.
We can all agree that Frank Sinatra's version of "Luck Be A Lady" is one of the most enjoyable and elegant songs in all of history, right? Here's what the cloud looked like when its lyrics are plugged in.
Beautiful. See the "boom"? Of course you don't. Because Sinatra was hot shit. They don't call him the King of Science and Songs for nothing, yo.
Now, here's the Wordle for the Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow," which Michelle Obama (probably) disregarded with a "Man, that shit is weaksauce."
Gross. It's an abomination. Or, more accurately, an aboomination.
(p.s. Also, what's a "get-get"? See it in the cloud? Black Eyed Peas are the worst.)
How does "Drunk On You" rate?
Substantial aboomination. Which equals:
Bam-o. Upended by science.
2. Benecio Del Toro
This one might even be more troublesome than the booms, at least if you're interested in not being mauled to death. A bit from the lyrics:
Dancin' on the tailgate in a full moon... You're lookin' so good in what's left of those blue jeans.
What's supposed to be poetic songwriting that indirectly implies our protagonist isn't a dullard does quite the opposite. Because it seems pretty clear that this lady that he's talking about, the one that he's drunk on, is TURNING INTO A WEREWOLF RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS GODDAMN EYEBALLS.
The signs are there: the full moon, the "dancing," which is really her body handling morphing into a giganto-hairy killer, which would explain why her pants are tattered and torn. I mean, it shouldn't be hard to notice a werewolf standing in front of you, is what I'm saying.
See? Fourth one. Easy.
(I) Tailgates & Tanlines HAS to be the worst album title of all.
(II) Frank Sinatra is aces.

Mick Rock has shot some of the most recognizable portraits in rock music history and he's got, hands down, the best name in shutterbugdom. But with a candor and style that's as palpable as any of his subjects, he is also just as cool. In LA this weekend for a couple of events tied to his new book, Exposed: The Faces of Rock n' Roll (which would have made this list had we known about it earlier), we had a chance to chat with charismatic photographer, scooping some shot-by-shot exclusive commentary on what we both agreed are 10 of his most memorable images:
Mick Rock's immense talent is a given, but by his own admission, some of his best shots came out of sheer luck, while others were the result of euphoric experimentation. Rock led a debauched, drug-filled lifstyle not unlike his subjects. In the book, he talks of "inner demons" and losing himself "in the fantasy of living on the edge 24 hours a day." A near death experience in 2006 turned things around.
His recollections of those raucous times (and his work) may not always be vivid, but what he does recall is fascinating stuff. In the book, he indexes each shot with just enough info to provide insight and still preserve the mystique of the images. Exposed joins Rock's impressive library of published works including photo tomes focusing on Glam Rock, Ziggy Stardust, Queen, Blondie, Syd Barrett, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Iggy, etc.
"I'm known as a glam rock photographer," he told us. "But this new book shows a wider range." Rock's glam background will likely come in handy with a proposed new project, what he'll only reveal as "a glam musical" for being discussed with a big producer, and maybe involving Toni Basil (who was at the private party in his honor at Confederacy Thursday night). Rock also says an art project in conjunction with Ziggy Stardust's 40th anniversary might be in the works as well as bio-doc on the photog himself.
Here are the 10 most memorable Mick Rock photographs, with commentary:
10. Bono and Lady Gaga, New York, 2006 Shot at a private party at The Spotted Pig in New York after the 'Gavin Friday & Friends' show (Carnegie Hall). A great example of Rock's gift for capturing candid moments and a shot that shows he's still a major player in contemporary pop culture.
"It was a long night and Bono, who requested I shoot it, was in fine communicative form."
"I don't know where the forks came from [this was not a dinner]. It was in the hidden VIP room in the attic."
9. Debbie Harry, New York, 1978 From a magazine cover session (for Bob Guccioni's Viva, now long gone) around the time of Parallel Lines' release.
"A shot with a blue background - and ironically, more clothing- from this session was used later for the cover of Penthouse."
"I used Plexiglass backdrops and lit them red and blue for this session. She is exquisitely beautiful, but she's always been one of the boys, which comes through."
8. Mick Jagger, London, 1975 During the tour promoting Black and Blue, which also included a giant inflatable penis, a close-up of Jagger's face proved more sensational than any prop. The angle of the mouth even resembles the Stone's famed tongue logo.
"I have no idea what he was singing here but I like to think it was "Jumpin' Jack Flash." He looks like he's singin "Jumpin' Jack Flash," doesn't he?
"I think he looks like a rooster here....the lips and the hair. This is always a popular shot in my exhibits."
7. Madonna, New York, 1980 Bleeker Bob (of the famous Grenwich Village record store) brought the aspiring singer to Rock's Lexington Avenue photo studio to hang out.
"We took a few pictures, but I didn't think anything about it -or her- really. She was unknown then, and didn't particularly make an impression. But then, I was high on the hog at the time, so it's a bit of a blur."
6. Ramones, New York, 1979 Album cover for the Phil Spector-produced 'End of the Century.' The red background was a change for the band, who fancied grittier street shots for most of their promo pics.
"I was the third choice of photographer. They hated photographers."
"They were difficult to shoot. Very stiff. Didn't move a lot."
"Linda Ramone has bought this print a couple times to give to friends."
5. Joan Jett, New York, 1981 I Love Rock n' Roll Album Cover. Indicative of the 80's rock era and imagery with its bright hues.
"I got a phone call from their lawyer. They were in desperate straits. 'Can we shoot tomorrow? he asked. 'And no, you can't meet her before.'
"To me, she was a female Elvis."
"I came up with the color contrast of clothing and background. When you've done as much blow as I had in those days, you definitely see colors in a different way. "
4. David Bowie and Mick Ronson, UK 1973 On a British Rail dining car during the last Ziggy Tour, this shot was released on Rock's Ziggy chronicle, Moonage Daydream and quickly become a favorite of rock fans.
"A proper British lunch with peas, pats of butter and tea. It's very prosaic as they look like they just bloody landed from another planet!"
"I did lots of shots like this, Ziggy sleeping, eating... These guys were my friends."
3. Lou Reed, London, 1972 The cover of Transformer. A photo that manages to make a guy in makeup look tough.
"This was a performance shot (Lou's first ever concert in Europe) that fell out of focus. But Lou loved it."
"I don't think any of us knew how iconic it would become. It stayed the course as the definitive image of Lou's career. "
2. Iggy Pop, London, 1972
The cover of Raw Power, shot at King's Cross Cinema where the Lou Reed shot above was shot only the night before. Rock has the distinction of shooting two of the most famous album covers (live shots, no less) in two consecutive days! Even without this strangely wonderful coinicidence, this one is special. Rock tells why:
"This one is unique because it captures a rare moment of stillness on stage."
"Iggy had no say in the choice of the shot. His managers chose it. He hated everything that night -including this one- but he later told me he came to love it.
"He looks like an iguana to me here."
And the most iconic Mick Rock image is...
1. Queen, London, 1974 This eerily over-lit cluster of faces was later re-created for Queen's classic opera-inspired "Bohemian Rhapsody" video, and of course, it worked perfectly with the drama of the music. But the visual wasn't inspired by the music as much as it was an old movie still.
"I showed Freddie a picture of Marlene Dietrich from Shanghai Express and he loved it."

"The lighting was important, of course. The tough part was getting all four of them lit right."
"Finding that Dietrich picture (a friend of mine had just given me a bunch of old Hollywood stills at the time) was a Zen moment."
[Most of these shots are also on display -and with numbered prints for sale- at Confederacy in Los Feliz where his signings and our chat and photo survey took place.]

Do homeschooled children choose to homeschool their children? And if so, why? These are some of the questions raised (and answered!) on this the second of a two-part podcast all about 2nd-generation homeschooling. We interview Mrs. Amy Becker and Mrs. Lydia Bowman, two homeschool graduates who are now happily homeschooling their own children. They discuss with Greg about passing along the vision without pressure. Some of the reasons they decided homeschooling was the best educational method for them and their families include:
• ability to select different programs for different needs
• tailoring teaching to learning styles
• increased flexibility
• family closeness
• and more!

1997.5 Hummer
H1 Hardtop
For more information Contact Us Here or call Here:
(800) 957-5707 or (314) 993-7104
- Vin: 137ZA8332VE177333
- Engine: 6.5L Turbo Diesel
- Cylinders: V8
- Transmission: Automatic
- Title: Clear/ MO
- Exterior Color: Fly Yellow
- Interior Color: Gray cloth
- Mileage: 79,894
1997.5 Hummer H1 Hardtop
Difficult to find Hardtop version finished in factory code correct Fly Yellow over Gray cloth interior. Originally owned and driven by AM General executive before finding its only other owner in 2000 with 28,000 miles. Today, showing only 79,000 actual miles, it has been fully serviced by Hummer Service with fresh 12K Service, CTIS hardware upgrades, brand new tires, and more! Super sharp and an equally excellent road going unit! An H1 you must drive to truly appreciate! One of just 23 like it!!
With the Hummer brand off and running since 1992, they continued to find ways to improve the rather sparse, military born off-road vehicle to be more civilized for modern street use. Big changes came about midway through 1997 production, internally called 1997-2, these 1997.5 units had improvements that included an HVAC system providing more accessibility for easier servicing along with a blower motor that moved air more efficiently through the cabin. The Monsoon audio system was now optional and included an overhead speaker console. This was further enhanced with standard interior sound insulation for better cabin volume levels. The turbo diesel engine was also improved offering 5 additional horsepower and 45 ft. lbs. of torque. This noticeable power increased total horsepower to 195, and torque to 430, and continued with the H1 through the 2003 model year.
We are quite excited to have this very rare 1997.5 Hummer H1 Hardtop finished in a one-year only color of Fly Yellow over Gray Cloth interior. Only 1,209 H1's were produced in 1997, but this late production Hardtop represent one of only 23 Fly Yellow Hardtops ever manufactured! Fitted with its original 6.5L Turbo-Diesel engine mated to the 4L80E 4-speed overdrive transmission, it offers plenty of power and torque to destroy any off-road trail or urban street environment! Options included power steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, air conditioning, heated windshields, Monsoon audio system with cassette player & CD changer, wood-trimmed interior, 16.5" polished alloy wheels wrapped in larger Pitbull Rocker tires, upgraded front brush guard, windshield light bar, CD radio & bumper mounted antenna, Warn Industrial 12,000 lb. wench with remote, cruise control, and full power accessories- windows, mirrors, locks, & keyless entry.
This particular late example was built in May 1997 and said to have been utilized by an AM General executive for the first few years, then sold on to the next & only owner in June of 2000 with just 28,000 miles. The second owner added only 51,000 miles over his 15 years of enjoyment while in northern Florida. It was fully repainted in late 2015 due to some sun fade and worn areas in the bed. The interior survives all original and largely unmodified with all original radio and speakers. Some auxiliary switches were added for exterior lights (later removed) and a Cobra CB radio for keeping in contact with other drivers on trail rides. Most recently, our sister company Hummer Service, completed a full inspection and complete mechanical service to make ready for the next owner. This included a more appealing front brush guard, re-polished wheels fitted with brand new tires, new front brakes pads & rotors, upgraded braided stainless steel CTIS lines, new gear hub bearings & seal kits, resealed power steering pump with new pulley, new turbo waste gate solenoid, new air conditioning compressor, and new reserve tank fuel sending unit! Lastly, it received a complete 12K service which replaces engine oil/filter, transmission filter & fluid, fuel filter, resealed transfer case with fresh gear oil, and new differential oil!
We feel this example could not be more ready to enjoy. In fact, we have enjoyed adding nearly 100 miles on the odometer since its completion to ensure it is without fault! Most first time owners find a well sorted H1 like this one to be extremely easy to manage and drive anywhere you like. This example will quickly build confidence and prove to be one of the finest on the market. Today, the odometer reads just 79,894 actual miles. It is complete with all AM General warranty records, original books & manuals, wench remote, jack, and receipts from our recent service work. Please act quickly! Only 23 units were ever made like this one, and we feel ours is one of the best, well survived examples without any past abuse! Thanks for looking!

Top football authors help pupils to become premier readers
29 July 2013|Tottenham Hotspur
More than 180 primary school pupils visited White Hart Lane to take part in a series of literacy workshops hosted by two of the country's leading authors.
Held in partnership between Tottenham Hotspur Foundation and the National Literacy Trust's Premier League Reading Stars programme, 13 schools from across the country were treated to fun and stimulating sessions from best-selling children's authors Dan Freedman and Bali Rai.
Using the appeal of Premier League Football Clubs, the Reading Stars programme aims to capture children's interest in football to support their reading and literacy development.
Sessions were held in Tottenham Hotspur Football Club's state-of-the-art Learning Zone which creates an exciting and unique learning environment for students, helping to reignite their passion for subjects through collaboration, group work and imaginative teaching. Each academic year the Learning Zone hosts 40 workshops with more than 4000 students passing through its doors each year.
Tottenham Hotspur Foundation offers a complete educational pathway for young people from Key Stage One to Higher Education with the emphasis on helping individuals to fulfil their potential.
Pupils were also treated to a question and answers session about reading with Tottenham Hotspur first year scholar Lloyd Ross and first year professional Oliver Modeste, as well as a behind the scenes tour of White Hart Lane Stadium allowing them to follow in the footsteps of their footballing idols.
London born Dan Freedman is the author of the highly popular Jamie Johnson series which charts a young man's progress up the football ladder while Bali Rai is best-known for his hugely popular Soccer Squad series among younger readers.
Dan said: "Premier League Reading Stars brings football and reading together so, as the author of the Jamie Johnson series, it's a real privilege to have been involved in the event at Tottenham Hotspur.
"I grew up in East Finchley and went to watch my first ever game of football with my dad at White Hart Lane when I was three years old.
"To come back and chat with local school kids about football stories was just about perfect."
Gareth Dace, Tottenham Hotspur Foundation's Education Development Officer commented: "All of our education programmes aim to use the power and appeal of a Premier League football club to engage students with their learning and in this instance, to develop a love of literacy.
"We really believe that an iconic venue like White Hart Lane Stadium creates a stimulating learning environment for any child or adult, with the Premier Reading Stars event proving incredibly enjoyable and beneficial for all involved."
Jim Sells, Premier League Reading Stars Programme Manager from the National Literacy Trust added: "We were privileged to hold our first author-led session at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and were delighted with the reactions of the pupils which took part. Premier League Reading Stars opens up the doors to a lifetime of reading for pleasure for kids who wouldn't typically read. Reading for pleasure enriches children's lives and helps them gain vital skills for the future and sessions like this make reading fun for children which is so important."

New technology promises to allow shoppers to find the cheapest deals in shops via their mobile phones.
The shopping multi-agency system (SHOMAS) employs a wireless internet connection and allows handset owners to input products into the phone, which will then direct them to the store where it is cheapest.
SHOMAS also sends text messages to alert mobile users to cheap goods on offer in their locale.
The technology follows the launch of the G1 phone or Google phone, which employed a bar code scanner and GPS to perform a similar service.
Richard Perks, the director of retail research at the market researchers Mintel, said: "We are on the threshold of cracking new technology that will make a real impact on our lives."
According to a report from the Telegraph, SHOMAS is currently in use at a shopping mall in Spain, with UK shopping centres such as the Bull Ring and Lakeside said to be interested in conducting trials.

Advancements, so long never dreamed of by anyone in our ancient past as if ever possible, had not prevented them from getting invented, and then soon well spread throughout modern society in our recent history centuries, while being developed ever better and more capable by our ever advancing technology. Before 1500, folks would have never even dreamed of such nice future possibilities, by now getting ever more greatly accepted and continually well improved, including electric lights, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, many canned foods, telephones, cars, trucks, tractors, buses, trains, airplanes, helicopters, rockets, space probes, artificial satellites, orbiting space stations, radio, TV, computers, internet communications, etc.
Good improvements for how modern people now live have of course included ever advancing biochemistry preparations, from vitamin supplements etc. for healthier living, to ever more improved better treatments for diseases, plus increasing ways to reduce past disease vulnerabilities, or almost eliminate some contagious diseases. We all of course expect such good health improvements to keep being more greatly advanced ever better.
So, had past simpler thinking traditional humans been correct? Of course not! By now most of us frequently use such past impossibilities, many often daily. And in the past, well before 1500, without fathoming genetics, humans had long been slowly selectively improving genetic varieties for farmed food plants and animals, also for their pets, simply by gaining better seeds or new young by selecting from the better preferred natural matured varieties.
Improving abilities to biochemically analyze genetics, while investigating the resulting matured results, led to abilities to make increasing sense of our genes and chromosomes DNA. Now finding some genetic variety forms apparently linked with some varied developmental results lets us ever more progressively understand genes in ever improving detail, also our gene regulating chromosome DNA sections. By 2000, this began letting some human genetics experts try nicely selecting what should be good varieties, including those best for our own progressively healthier maturing new young.
After 2010, time needed to have someone's total genome analyzed dropped under 1 day, with the cost dropping under $1,000. And it became possible to give an infant's new starting ovum some selected gene versions. Controlling and improving human genetics was thus truly becoming a doable option! Expect some parents to prefer this for new young!

Software audits help lower costs: BSA
PHOTO - (from left) Roland Chan, senior marketing director, of Business Software Alliance Asia Pacific; Andy Tan, chairman of PIKOM CIO Chapter.
Industry body Business Software Alliance (BSA) and local IT leaders said software asset management (SAM) audits would help to lower costs for Malaysian businesses.
Correct software asset management (SAM) is crucial to help organisations manage the rising costs of operating businesses in today's fragile economy, said BSA senior marketing director, Asia Pacific, Roland Chan, speaking in Malaysia on 18 October 2011.
"SAM not only lowers the cost of ownership for businesses but it is also a key component in most of the regulatory compliance requirements facing businesses today," said Chan, during a roundtable discussion themed 'Should Software Audits Be Made Mandatory?'
He said software audits are part of SAM, a business practice designed to reduce IT overhead costs, limit risks related to the ownership and use of software, and increase corporate-wide and IT efficiencies for a company.
Earlier in May this year, BSA and Ministry of Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism (MTDCC) have called for software audits to be made mandatory for companies. BSA and MTDCC are also studying the feasibility of making software audits part of an organisation's financial audit process.
"Companies should view management of their software assets to be as vital as management of their financial ones," said Chan. "As organisations assume control by proactively managing their software assets, not only will they lower IT cost in the long run, they will gain from the higher levels of productivity and security."
Local industry leaders
Support for the practice of SAM included IT leaders such as national ICT industry association (PIKOM) CIO Chapter chairman, Andy Tan, THB Bank head of infrastructure; Lee Teck Chong, and World Vision International director of shared services centre, Nick Goh.
"Despite the benefits of SAM, the onus of this practice should not rest solely with the companies and their IT departments," said PIKOM CIO Chapter's Tan. "Software vendors should also look into working hand-in-hand with clients to provide assistance such as software licence tracking and software metering if software audits are to be made mandatory."
Government agency SME Corp. Malaysia chief executive officer Dato' Hafsah Hashim said the agency supported BSA's call for mandatory software audits as part of the yearly financial audit.
"[This move] will help to promote better corporate governance," she said. "However, audit costs could be a concern when it comes to SMEs [small and medium enterprises]." She called for software vendors to consider lowering the price of their software and more awareness to be raised on SAM should the mandatory software audit take effect.

Signs of Desperation in Hillary Camp as Bernie Looks Increasingly Likely to Win in Iowa and New Hampshire
Someone should have warned tHillary Clinton and the goon squad at the Democratic National Committee that old-fashioned red-baiting isn't going to cut it in today's United States. It's not the 1950s anymore and the Soviet Union and Comtern are ancient history.
With the latest batch of polls showing Bernie Sanders, in the wake of his feisty showing in Sunday's debate against Clinton in Charleston, SC, gaining on her in both early primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire, and nationally, the Clinton campaign and the leadership in the Democratic Party seem to have lost both their minds and whatever principles they may have had.
According to one poll, by CNN/WMUR, conducted just days after the debate, Sanders is now ahead of Clinton in New Hampshire by a blow-out 60% to 33%. That's nearly triple the margin the prior CNN/WMUR poll found in December when the numbers were Sanders 50% and Clinton 40%.
Meanwhile, the latest CNN/ORC Iowa poll, just released Friday, shows Sanders leading Clinton among likely caucus-goers in that state by 8 percentage points 51% to 43%. That is a big turnaround from the same poll done in December, which showed Clinton ahead 54% to 36% for Sanders. Even if there are other polls showing Clinton still marginally ahead in Iowa, the trend has been clear of voters moving from Clinton to Sanders, especially over the past two weeks.
Hence the Clinton campaign's panicky response, which has been to start having surrogates go out and paint Sanders as a "red."
They don't actually call him a commie, but they do the next closest thing, warning that if Sanders were to win the Democratic nomination, he would then be attacked by whoever is the Republican nominee, who would "surely" call him a communist.
How, actually, does this differ from Hillary herself just calling him a commie? Well, it doesn't. Her campaign is calling him a red.
This attempted McCarthyite hatchet job on Sanders was launched in an article in the obligingly complicit New York Times, which on Wednesday ran a one-sided hit piece headlined: "Alarmed Clinton Supporters Begin Focusing on Sanders's Socialist Edge."
In that article, we read the likes of Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, saying of Sanders, "Here in the heartland, we like our politicians in the mainstream, and he is not -- he's a socialist. He's entitled to his positions, and it's a big-tent party, but as far as having him at the top of the ticket, it would be a meltdown all the way down the ballot."
Then there 's Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri, a neoliberal Clinton supporter, who tells the Times, "The Republicans won't touch (Sanders) because they can't wait to run an ad with a hammer and sickle."

A convicted rapist was arrested Wednesday, two days after he escaped from a state prison and allegedly sexually assaulted a woman, police said.
Leighton Bates, 41, was spotted by off-duty corrections officer and surrendered to authorities without incident, authorities said.
A motorist reported picking up a hitchhiker Tuesday and dropping him off at tavern. The driver later saw Bates' picture and told police he may have helped the escaped convict.
Bates was captured less than a mile from the tavern.
Bates escaped from the medium-security Oregon State Correctional Institution apparently by wrapping himself in plastic and hiding in a delivery truck, said Gerald Long, a corrections department spokesman. That night, he allegedly assaulted a 46-year-old woman in her laundry room.
When the woman's teen-age son came looking for her, Bates forced both of them back to the apartment where he spent the night, police said. Bates exchanged his prison clothing for some of the teen's clothing and forced the woman to drive him to a state park. She then contacted police.
Bates was serving time for rape, kidnapping and robbery. He was convicted after he posed as a stranded motorist in April and kidnapped and raped a teen-ager.
"I'm not somebody that needs to be outside, not in my present mental state for the past 25 years," Bates said at his sentencing.
The earliest he could have been released was December 2037.
Bates escaped from the Salem prison once before, in 1985. In 1992, he escaped from a minimum security prison in Baker City.

Cat-mounted Laser Pointer
Alex Burkovskiy taped a laser pointer to his cat's head. Usually, just a piece of tape on a cat will cause the animal to go bonkers trying to get it off, but this cat was too fascinated with the red dot to notice he had something taped to him! He chased the dot for over an hour. That's about as long as a piece of tape stuck to fast-moving fur can possibly last. -via Tastefully Offensive

Laurens Hammond 1895-1973
It may he hard to believe now, but one man was single-handedly responsible for creating the entire organ and keyboard world as we know it today. That man was Laurens Hammond.
Born on January 11, 1895 in Evanston, Illinois, to William Andrew and Idea Louise Strong Hammond, Laurens showed his great technical prowess from an early age. His father, William, died in 1898, and shortly after this sad event in Laurens's young life, the Hammond family moved to Europe. Between the years of 1898 and 1909, they lived in Geneva, Dresden and finally in Paris, before returning to America.
In 1928, Laurens formed the Hammond Clock Company, making electric clocks in a variety of styles. By 1932, as the depression took hold, 150 other clock companies were out of business and it was Hammond's determination to remain solvent that led to the development of new products such as the automatic bridge table mentioned above.
Hammond was not a musician; he did, however, see the great benefits of music, and was keen to bring a more sophisticated form of home music-making to the masses. In 1933, therefore, he turned his attention to the development of an electric organ. He bought a used piano and proceeded to discard everything apart from the actual keyboard action. Using this piano keyboard as a controller, he was able to experiment with various different sound generating methods until he found the best one - the tonewheel generator. The company's assistant treasurer, W.L. Lahey, was the organist at the nearby St. Christopher's Episcopal Church, and so Laurens consulted with him during the design process and sought feedback on the quality of the new instrument's sound. With all his previous manufacturing and engineering experience, the tonewheel generator was incredibly well engineered by the time the organ finally went into production. The number of tonewheel organs still in regular use is a testament in itself to the quality of the original design and execution of the product.

Admission decisions are based on:
Financial aid is available on a limited basis to families who demonstrate financial need, defined as the difference between a child's educational expenses and the family's resources. A separate financial aid application exists that parents/guardians should complete after the school had made an admission decision. Financial aid applications can be obtained from the Admissions Director.
Financial aid decisions are based on:
