Murder & Memory in a New England Village: The Story of Orville Gibson
About Murder & Memory in a New England Village: The Story of Orville Gibson
Ever since moving to Vermont as a child, I have been fascinated by the mysterious case of the death of Orville Gibson and curious about the "whodunit" aspects of the story, not to mention the strange pervasive silence on the subject in the village of Newbury.
At one point, I lived less than a quarter of a mile down the road from Orville's barn. Passing it daily, all the details would run through my head. One day, I asked the librarian about his death. She pulled a large manila folder out of the back of a filing cabinet and handed it over, saying only, "You didn't get it from me." As a history buff, I'd always hoped that some day I would find an opportunity to explore the story. It was only through the passage of time, a geographic relocation, and the opportunity afforded me by the Transom Donor fund that I finally delved into this story.
Breaking the Silence
My biggest (and most obvious) concern was how to get people to talk about a subject that is famous for not being discussed. I was concerned that I wouldn't find anyone willing to be interviewed (though the opposite turned out to be the case). But given the time constraints for a radio piece of this nature, many of the locally fascinating details (especially to Vermonters) that even I had never heard, had to be cut. Another challenge was keeping the story interesting and constantly moving forward without getting bogged down in too many intricate details.
Also of concern was finding some way to bring a fresh approach to the story. After more than half a century, no new details about the circumstances of Gibson's death have emerged and no one has come forward to confess to knowing anything. My ambition was never to solve the case, but to understand the circumstances, and experiences of those who lived in the village at the time. The main question I asked was, "What effect did this have on the village of Newbury?" Given the sensitivity of the subject, I felt this was a good neutral question, one that might even convince reluctant people to speak openly. In some cases it worked; in other cases it didn't.
While I have worked in print journalism and began working in radio the previous year, nothing had prepared me for the type of work that goes into a radio piece of this length. Originally trained as a historian and researcher, I am inclined to gather as much information and detail as I can—while radio constantly demands, as my original radio mentor Tanya Ott taught me, "the fewest most powerful words." This was my greatest challenge.
I gathered nearly 15 hours of interviews with nearly anyone that was willing to talk with me. With that amount of material, deciding what to use and what not to use is a bit like panning for gold. You sift through as much as you can, looking for those precious nuggets. The more you do it, the easier it becomes to recognize them.
One thing that worked in my favor was my research training. When cutting and organizing clips, I made several copies and organized them by subjects, themes, etc. This, along with my detailed notes, was enormously helpful when I needed to go back and find particular clips, and is proving useful for the slightly altered versions I am now at work on.
With Sincerest Gratitude
I am extremely grateful to all the wonderful people at Transom who made this possible. I am especially indebted to Viki Merrick and Samantha Broun for their patience and editorial assistance. Without the funding from the Transom Donor Fund, this piece might never have happened. Thank you to all those who have and continue to donate to help inspire young producers. Thank you to Scott Hanley and the studios of WBHM in Birmingham, Alabama, for the use of studio space, as well as to Sarah Delia, who assisted with her music expertise and mixing techniques.
Last but not least, I am most indebted and thankful to my friends and family members, whose patience, reassurance, and financial support also helped make this possible throughout all the various stages. I owe a special thank you to my fiancée, Katherine Green, who has done nothing but support me one hundred percent of the way.
This piece would not have been possible without the cooperation and support of the many wonderful people in Newbury and around Vermont who felt comfortable enough to open up and shared their own stories. There are simply too many to list here.
Some of the pictures and newspaper clippings are from my personal collection, collected over nearly fifteen years; others are taken from an extensive scrapbook about the story and trials, which is housed at the Vermont History Center in Barre, Vermont.
The song "Who Killed Orville Gibson?" was written and recorded by "Banjo Dan" Lindler & The Mid-night Plow Boys from their record Mystery and Memories: Banjo Dan's Songs of Vermont, Volume 3. More information about the band and their recordings can be found at
The additional music features Patrick Ross on the fiddle and Richard Commo on the keyboard. It was recorded live at the Fiddlers Contest during the 62nd Annual Cracker Barrel Bazaar in Newbury in July of 2013.

So excited to see (actually, hear) this story come to fruition. Long-form documentary is such a challenging format and you did some excellent work here, Will! In honor of fewest, most powerful words: You rock!
And thanks, Transom, for providing support (both financial, emotional, and otherwise) for projects like this. You guys rock, too!
Great work Will! What a fascinating story. You tell it like a pro.
Wonderful job, Will! The whole time I listened, I was thinking how great of an Oral History project that would have been for the Frommers You definitely have a radio voice. Keep it up!
Thanks for listening! The funny thing is, this was my first proposal for an oral history project for the class. I was told that because it had "occurred so long ago" there likely wasn't anyone left to interview. If I had actually pursued it at that time, I would have gotten a few more folks who have since passed. Timing is everything I guess!
Fascinating story well told. I can see why you were and are riveted by this mystery. Thanks for sharing your insights.
I just listened to this and was fascinated by it. It brought me right back to my adolescence in Bradford, VT…I was 13 years old when it happened. Made our little corner of Vermont infamously famous (if you can say that)…somewhat exciting in a place where this type of excitement was totally absent. (The feelings and vision of a 13 year old.) At any rate, I don't believe it will ever be solved. The feelings I have about this are preserved in a kind of "freshness" since it has never been solved. Go figure!
Thank you for your comment, Ronald! I had actually tried to find a few folks from the Bradford area to give me their "outsider" perspective on what happened, but hadn't had any luck. I'd be really interested in talking with you further about what you remember, especially as a cross-town teenager at the time. Please send me an e-mail with your contact info if you can: firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks!
Interesting story, well told. This is my first visit to the Transom.org website, and yours was the first story I chose to listen to. Thanks.
Thank you for listening and your kind words. There is a lot of great work on Transom.org by a lot of amazing producers. I hope you will get a chance to listen to some other works. Cheers!
Great story. I was living in Monroe NH at the time, but my Dad was originally from Jefferson Hill and had ties to Newbury still. It was often rumored that he know more about what happened then what he ever said. At least at home. My wife at I got married in the church in Newbury 45 years ago, but now live in Portland Or and Yuma AZ.
Mr. Wright,
Thank you for listening. I am really glad you liked the story. Your dad's story sounds like that of many of the folks from Newbury and around the local area. Oh how the code of silence still stands! How old were you at the time? It is always interesting to hear how people of different age groups heard and discussed the story. Thanks for listening and I hope you'll pass it on to some other people. My best, Will

Guys our age self-tan, whiten their teeth and hit the treadmill, hoping to look youthful and healthy. They certainly don't lack role models: Everyone from Denzel Washington to Rob Lowe is making 50+ sexy nowadays. On June 15 – yup, Father's Day is approaching that fast – let your guy know he's still got it with gifts that fit his style. A few gift suggestions for five lovable father figures:
[1]The tough softie. Is the man you have in mind a bit spiky on the outside but a marshmallow within? He shouts at televised sports but cries at romantic movies, likes beer and barbecue over wine and brie, and loves to hold your hand in public. Cater to his sweet side with a fruity masculine fragrance and a colorful hoodie: David Beckham The Essence [2] (drugstore.com), Old Navy Lightweight Colorblack Hoodie [3] (oldnavy.com).
The cool dude. A boomer with the brain of a millennial, he knows all about rap music and selfies but loves the way you change your hair color to keep things fresh. Surprise him with hip reader sunglasses and a unique scent: The Paparazzi Bi-Focal Sun Reader [4](readers.com), Ocean for Men by Bath & Body Works [5](bathandbodyworks.com).
>> Get entertainment and dining discounts with your AARP Member Advantages. [6]
The hippie at heart. He listens to Dylan and rocks a beard (possibly even a ponytail). And not only does he love your maxi dresses and butterfly tattoo, but he lets you add Adele to his playlist. Flash back to his past with some unisex patchouli oil and and a pair of sandals: Karma by LUSH Perfume [7] (lushusa.com), Gap Molded Flip-Flops [8] (gap.com).
The hottie. He runs at 6 a.m., gets Botox, shaves his head and drives a convertible. He loves your skinny jeans, long hair and high energy level. Give him attitude with a high-tech skin buffer (to unclog his pores and buff away dead flakes) and a fiery scent: Clarisonic Mia 2 in Graphite [9](macys.com), Ralph Lauren Polo Red [10] EDT (ralphlauren.com).
The throwback. He lives in blazers, button-down shirts and loafers (even on weekends), prefers old movies and Sinatra but brings you coffee in bed and whisks you to Paris on big birthdays. Emphasize his Old World charm with a classic scent and an airline-approved travel kit: Aramis Bracing Body Splash [11](bloomingdales.com), Ahava Starter Kit for Men ( [12]ahava.com).
And always keep him guessing; a little mystery is the secret to sexy chemistry.

No idea, have you asked in the console forum? The audience here is more versed in PC Hardware than console hardware--console manufacturers put all sorts of limitations on what will work with their equipment.--Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
And I think Xbox 360 use USB 2.0. Not USB 3.0. The SSD could read and write faster than USB 2.0.Maybe this will help:»techtips.salon.com/use-usb-hard-···410.html
quote:How Do I Use a USB Hard Drive With the Xbox 360?BY MARIE CARTWRIGHT, DEMAND MEDIAIf you want more storage space on your Xbox 360 or need a way to access the media on your computer through your console, hooking up an external hard drive makes both of these things possible. Though the Xbox 360 does include USB ports, setting up your drive takes a little more preparation than just plugging it in.Why Use An External Drive?Xbox 360 owners often use their console for much more than just gaming. The Xbox 360 is capable of playing videos and music as well. Though the console does come with internal memory, some users need more space. Hooking up an external drive also gives you the freedom to access media through different devices, such as on both your Xbox 360 and your PC.FormattingThe Xbox 360 is compatible with most external hard drives but only allows you to use a maximum of 16 gigabytes regardless of the size of the hard drive. External hard drives also cannot be used until they have been properly formatted. To format your hard drive, connect the device to your PC. You will need to note the drive letter assigned to the device. Then open a command prompt window by typing "Cmd" within the search bar in the Start menu. Enter the following command: format/FS:FAT32 F: You will need to replace "F" with whatever the drive letter is. Formatting your drive may take a few moments. Once the process is complete, your drive is ready to hook up to your Xbox 360.SetupAttaching external devices to an Xbox 360 is a piece of cake: Simply plug the USB interface on the hard drive into an empty USB port on the console. Next, turn on the Xbox 360, and navigate to the "System Settings" menu under "My Xbox." From there, you need to select the appropriate configuration option for your drive. One option erases all data on the drive before formatting it. The other option configures only a limited amount of space for Xbox 360 use, leaving any data on the drive untouched.Accessing the DriveOnce your drive is hooked up, use your controller to navigate to the "Media" menu. Scroll down to find the "Portable Device" listing. Opening the device will reveal all files and folders on the hard drive. Though you will not be able to move old saved games to your external hard drive, you will have the option of choosing which location to save to when saving a new game.ReferencesMicrosoft Support: After Connecting a Portable Device to Your Xbox 360 Console, the Device Is Not DetectedOnline Tech Tips; How to Format External Hard Drive to FAT32 in Windows; Aseem Kishore; September 2008IGN: Xbox 360 USB Hard Drive Support Confirmed; Jim Reilly ;March 2010Microsoft Support: How to Configure a USB Storage Device as an Xbox 360 Memory UnitAbout the AuthorMarie Cartwright began writing in 2010.

and environments for safe, comfortable, and effective human use" (Chapanis, 1991, p. 1) so that we may "optimize the relationship between technology and the human" (Kantowitz and Sorkin, 1983; Licht et al., 1989, p. 27). The application of Complex Adaptive Systems of Systems engineering as discussed in Chapter 2 would necessarily consider the relationships between humans and underground infrastructure.
The military has long recognized the importance of integrating human and technological system elements to make operations as effective, efficient, safe, and sustainable as possible, and has promulgated these concepts through directives and guidance. For example, a Department of Defense (DOD) directive from 1988 required consideration of manpower, personnel, training, and safety in the defense system acquisition process for the purpose of improving "all aspects of the human-machine interface" (DOD, 1988: p. 1).2 In 2007, the National Research Council published a report at the request of the Army Research Laboratory, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and DOD to address approaches for creating "an integrated, multidisciplinary, generalizable, human-system design methodology" (NRC, 2007, p. 2). That report outlines principles considered critical to human-system development and evolution including those associated with the need for stakeholder consensus on desired outcomes, regular reassessment of plans based on lessons learned, and risk management.
Many applications of human factors engineering are related to human interaction with a single manufactured item or technology. Underground systems as part of total urban environments are more complex, and the need to understand, design, regulate, and operate for human-technology relationships becomes amplified. The impact of failure of key infrastructural components—including human—and or systems can be devastating to sustainable functioning of the urban environment (see discussion of cascading failures in Chapter 2). Human behavior is not always predictable in the face of adverse and extreme events, and regardless of how resilient to hazards underground infrastructure and safety systems may be, infrastructure and system failure could have significant negative consequences. All forms of underground engineering not only must consider what training and safety guidelines are necessary for the smooth functioning of infrastructure in the best of circumstances, but also must anticipate the behavior of underground occupants during both normal and worst-case operation scenarios. Design must be holistic and create an integrated environment that allows people to almost intuitively understand how to remain safe should adverse conditions arise. Sustainability of the urban setting is dependent on optimization of human-technical relationships in ways that provide at least minimum safety while remaining consistent with long-term societal visions.
Industry also addresses safety in underground infrastructure. The International Tunneling Association (ITA), for example, established the Committee on
2 This directive has since been replaced by other directives that also emphasize human factors.

We really like Generator Sunblast Citrus -- the flavor is clean, crisp, and full of citrus flavor. Not too mention that it's caffeine free -- so it doesn't have that horrible caffeine finish that many energy drinks suffer from. The only suggestion that we have is that they rethink the "high voltage phrases" as they imply heavy caffeine. Overall, a great tasting energy drink that will definitely give you a boost.

S.I. Swimsuit covergirl Kate Upton's the biggest thing in modeling right now -- but some (possibly blind) haters think her clock is already ticking. Clearly, they didn't watch this video. You should.
Check out TMZ on TV -- click here to see your local listings!
I guess if you don't get stupid over this chick, you're some kind of hater? Wow, she has boobs, big deal, I have boobs.
The reason people think she's a flash in the pan, the only thing that sets her apart from other models, is her boobs, I guess. Her face is ordinary and forgettable.
She's beautiful but a complete ditz. I've watched interviews from different outlets they seriously make me cringe. She did great in the MLB commercial but let's be realistic. She won't get smaller aka runway is out. She can't handle lines aka acting.is out. I hope its.an age thing however common sense tells me shes going to fade faster than the kardashians. Again I hope I'm wrong but for some reason I think I'm right. Nice knockers though.
I DONT GET IT!!!!!! I find her attractive yet common looking....I am not one of these jealous chicks who picks apart pretty girls, I tell women they are pretty all the time when I see it, I appreciate beautiful women! BUT.... This girl doesnt do it for me. Her boobs look good though but when you are walking in Beverly Hills with them hanging and you CLEARLY need a bra.... to each their own but its a bit classless. I like the idea of throwing a girl with curves on the magazine cover but most of it is airbrushed and I do think that if you are going to be a MODEL, get that body flab OFF and be in top shape. Her interview with Ellen degenerate was like a total mess up. She is stupid beyond stupid, what kind of manager lets this twiddle-doo go on a interview where she ACTUALLY has to speak???????? Keep the mouth shut, gain a personality, dont let the girls hang out like that its classless unless you are at the beach or in a ****tail dress, keep the mouth shut, looose some weight. Face wise, you got a very pretty face so please never get bigger lips, seems like a thing to do these days. VERDICT: PRETTY DUMB
Give this poor 19 year old stupid girl with no education a break. What else does she have to get through life other than flopping down the street. Bet her Uncle is real proud of her now.
Her bags already sag. Fuggedaboudit!
Kate has AMAZING milk wagons!
I wish i could touch them with my hands and mouth.
@medianewsnow iwanabee filter in Kate Upton BOOB$:or underwire in Herbra wan Herr ware Wonz --She Looking Preta Perf.Hold Up?: S.I.Swimsuit covergirl Kate Upton's the biggest thing in modeling right Now --...GITITz LOURVELEYE!
She's a pretty girl but looks fade, and then judging by her lack of intelligence she's got nothing to fall back on but plastic surgery to try and maintain a young look.
Not quite sure why people get so uppity over her though, i've seen women equally if not more attractive just walking around my city.
And this is why she's nothing special. A blond with big tits except unlike most big-titted blonde Hollywood bimbo's, her's sag...a lot.
Her boobs look like any other 19 year old not wearing a bra! They are large, real breasts so obviously they aren't going to sit right beneath her chin!
Honestly, she is a pretty girl but nothing to write home about. Sure, if I was a guy I wouldn't kick her out of bed lol but that Vic's Secret talent lady was right. Her 'look' is generic, while pretty she isn't a girl that you would remember if she was on a magazine fully clothed. She can't even be compared to the other bikini and underwear models like Gisele, Bar and Adrianna.
Lady Gaga = Trashy
Kate Upton = Classy
One can only assume that what Kelly meant by "flat" is that her personality is flat. Anybody who thinks her breasts are flat must consider Pamela Anderson to be normal.
As for her being fat, I would say no, although her waist is abnormally high. It starts right under her boigy boingies.
She makes her money as a model, not rocket scientist, not surgeon. A model. The better they look, the more money they make. She is the best thing to come from SI in a long time. There have been great ones, but right now she is the "It girl". All I can say is Bravo, Bravo, Author, Author...
She's cute,but any breast over an a cup needs support of some kind or they turn into Droobies.
Get some class, girl, and cover those puppies up when in public. Don't you know the biggest erogenous zone is in the imagination?
So leave something to the imagination instead showing us the reality of your saggy boobs.

Hello Chowhounders,
I am in search of a specific type of decor - Modern Chic. I am not from Southern California, but will be down there next week, and want to enjoy some excellent food, while surrounded by ultra-modern decor. A couple of the places I have found that might foot the bill would be The Penthouse at Huntley Hotel, O-Bar Restaurant, Ocean and VIne, and Eleven. Do you have any opinion on these places, or others that might be of interest. Please let me know. Thanks.
Haven't tried Blue Velvet in downtown LA, but sounds like what you're looking for. check out their website and the boards for reviews. Looks chic.
Wilson in the MODAA building on Washington in Culver City. One gets the impression that their building permit required the approval of architects like Michael Sant or Pugh and Scarpa (the latter is actually in that building as well) on its interior design... I wouldn't call it ultra-modern, but more So Cal modern that's warmer, slightly casual and more natural in feel. A big plus is that they do have a great menu that most find appealing.
8631 Washington Blvd
Culver City, CA 90232
re: bulavinaka
I agree with the Wilson rec - that was my first thought when I saw the post. It's reasonably modern with lots of design elements and the food is great. You might also consider R-23 downtown for sushi, the restaurant at the Getty Center (though I have not been inside, the building and grounds are great and food is supposed to be good). The patio at Saladang Song in Pasadena on a warm night is also pretty great with concrete and steel high walls surrounding you.
You might also consider Dakota in the Roosevelt Hotel if you want more of a scene. Or 25 degrees if you're in a mind for burgers, or a lower bill...
re: CulverJack
You're right about the Restaurant at the Getty... or should I say the Getty in general. The restaurant itself is relatively neutral, but how can one who appreciates good architecture pass up a visit to this place? The perspective from the Getty is relatively unique, and the restaurant's food is very good - albeit a little high, but well worth it as part of a great day there. However, the poster is strictly going by decor, she might be a little disappointed...
If you're in the Pasadena area, I like the look of Vertical. I haven't been to far inside, but Neomeze also seems to fit the bill.
re: mc michael
I think the topic is "decor" and not architecture. But, some great architecture would be Kate Mantilini in BH.
Try also Katsuya Brentwood.
re: Frank_Santa_Monica
I'm not sure I grasp the distinction in the case of Cut, but if there is one then I'd second Blue Velvet. Kate Mantilini, feh.
I'd also recommend Blue Velvet in downtown. Great food and exactly the decor you are seeking.
I think that the Penthouse would also suit your needs in terms of food and decor. I had a terrible service experience the last time I was there which makes me think that you should probably not try to go during prime dining hours on Friday or Saturday night. Other than that, though, the food was very good.
re: ipsedixit
Penthouse in the Huntley was the first thing I thought when I saw the thread title.
Whist in the Viceroy is another.
Katsuya in Brentwood,
the new Montana Lounge (haven't eaten there yet and it doesn't officially open until tomorrow, but I took a peak inside),
Wilshire restaurant (outside)
simon LA -gorgeous!!!
blue on blue at the avalon hotel in BH- sit outside at one of the pool cabanas
didn't like blue velvet enough to recommend it
what about the lodge if you feel like steak?
I like the food at Wilson, and the decor is nice but I don't think it's ultra-modern. Also, most likely the visitor won't be staying near Culver City. I think maybe Opus would fit the bill. The space reminds my husband and me of the new big name restaurants in Vegas. The tasting menu is a great bargain...six courses turn into about 10 I'd say with all the extras they toss in.

Oftentimes our North Texas weather and landscape fail to live up to the idyllic scenes of Christmas carols--around here, there are no sleigh rides and no skating ponds, and a few days of "wintry mix" don't quite equal a winter wonderland. So when you need a respite from drizzly gray skies, duck inside the main gallery at the Irving Arts Center, 3333 N. MacArthur Blvd., where 20 trees decorated by Irving parent-teacher organizations are bound to put you back in the holiday spirit. The gallery is open daily, and admission is free. For hours and information, call 972-252-ARTS or visit irvingartscenter.com.

Why Unions Matter to Hispanics
All workers have the democratic right to band together in unions, but today this freedom is under attack. In the past, the American government staunchly defended workers' right to organize, but today workers attempting to organize a union face a Herculean task. Corporations, rather than workers, control the union election process. Union-busting campaigns based on coercion and intimidation are rampant, and too often anti-union companies violate workers' rights. Fighting organizing efforts has become an exact science—with firms making millions by guiding corporations through the process of defeating workers who wish to have representation in the workplace.

October 22 2014 Latest news:
Friday, April 12, 2013
Frank Lampard has hailed the introduction of goal-line technology in the Premier League from next season after his wrongly disallowed World Cup strike was one of the catalysts for the decision.
Yesterday the Premier League agreed a deal with British-based firm Hawkeye which will mean that referees will get a decision on contentious incidents sent instantly to them via a special watch, while replays will be available to be shown by broadcasters and in grounds.
The long-awaited agreement comes after a campaign which only bore fruit after Lampard's 'ghost goal' for England against Germany at the 2010 World Cup that persuaded FIFA president Sepp Blatter to change his mind on the issue.
League chiefs made their recommendation for Hawkeye based on both cost and ease of implementation and use. Earlier this month FIFA chose GoalControl, which is also a camera-based system, for the Confederations Cup in Brazil in June and next year's World Cup finals.
Two other systems, also German, have also been licensed by FIFA but they both use magnetic sensors rather than cameras.
The agreement will see all 20 Premier League clubs use the Hawkeye system that has been used at the Wimbledon Championships for five years.
The Football Association is set to follow suit with games at Wembley Stadium and the first use likely to be next season's traditional curtain-raiser, the Community Shield.
Lampard welcomed the move, saying: "It's a no brainer. It's been a bit of time coming, but they got there in the end."
Of the move being a good one for football, the Chelsea midfielder added: "Very good. I think it's a simple thing. I think it will bring an excitement factor on the times that it is used and it will just give you the correct answer, which I think at this level, when it's so important, we need that."

GSK-McLaren Pit Stop Challenge
The GSK-McLaren Pit Stop Challenge is now closed.
In 2013 we teamed up with the McLaren Group and McLaren Mercedes Formula One Team to look at the science behind Formula OneTM. Our joint National Schools Challenge got students across the UK investigating how science can help Formula OneTM drivers improve their reaction times.
This year we have teamed up once again and this time we're asking 11-14 year old students to take on the GSK-McLaren Pit Stop Challenge!
See what last year's finalists got up to …your students could be there too this year.

Enter by 4 April 2014 for a once in a lifetime chance to visit GSK's brand new Human Performance Lab and the McLaren Technology Centre, and see first-hand how the subjects of science, technology, engineering and maths are brought together to help create a winning team.
Every second counts
The McLaren Mercedes Formula One Team pit crew practice hard to get their rapid routine perfect. The quicker they work, the faster cars are back on the race track – but there is no room for error. When every second counts, consistent performance is crucial to winning the race.
Formula OneTM is an international sport and takes place in 30 different countries – places like Brazil, Singapore, Canada and Australia. As the crew travels across the globe during the Grand Prix season they face challenges that put their careful preparation under strain:
Jet lag
Sleep deprivation and tiredness
Lack of exercise
Heat and humidity
Changes in diet
Not drinking enough water
Check out our pit crew video to find out more about the challenges they face.
The prize
On 20 May 2014 all shortlisted teams will be invited to GSK's brand new Human Performance Lab (HPL), launched autumn 2013 to present to a panel of expert judges and be crowned champions of the GSK-McLaren Pit Stop Challenge, 2014. The GSK Human Performance Lab is a world class science facility dedicated to breaking through the limits of human performance.
The winners and two runner-up teams will be invited to the McLaren Technology Centre on 11 June 2014 for a behind-the-scenes guided tour of the world-leading facilities, plus have the opportunity to meet some of the most important people in the world of motorsport.
The winning team will also receive £1000 worth of school vouchers for new science equipment.

The MiFi 2200 supports many popular security standards, including WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WEP and SPI Firewall.
Virgin Mobile USA First to Launch Nationwide Prepaid MiFi Intelligent Mobile Hotspot
New Broadband2Go MiFi product is industry's first Intelligent Mobile Hotspot without a contract allowing customers of any Wi-Fi enabled device to stay connected at home or on-the-go
WARREN, N.J. -- Providing an innovative new offer for the ever-evolving mobile broadband market, Virgin Mobile USA today announced the addition of MiFi® 2200 to its Broadband2Go portfolio, offering customers the industry's first prepaid Intelligent Mobile Hotspot. This new device allows those using any Wi-Fi enabled device to connect to 3G, prepaid wireless Internet service without an annual contract, monthly subscription or activation fee.
Virgin Mobile is launching the Novatel Wireless MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot for $149.99 (excluding taxes). Operating on the nationwide Sprint 3G network, the Virgin Mobile MiFi 2200 will be available beginning today at Best Buy and RadioShack and online at BestBuy.com, Walmart.com and VirginMobileUSA.com.
In conjunction with the launch of MiFi, Virgin Mobile USA recently lowered the price of its initial broadband product, the Ovation™ MC760 USB device, from $99.99 to $79.99 (excluding taxes). Also developed by Novatel Wireless [NASDAQ: NVTL], the Ovation MC760 carries the distinction of being the world's smallest EV-DO Rev. A USB device.

Quotables: Accepting Change, Facing Adversity & Moving Forward
Hey Folks,
Every once in a while, I like to read quotes on subjects that intrigue me intellectually or spiritually, or that speak to questions and experiences I have at the moment. I thought I'd share a few that struck me to my core. Enjoy, and feel free to share your favorite quotes, too!
"There is no such thing as a "broken family." Family is family, and is not determined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, and adoption documents. Families are made in the heart. The only time family becomes null is when those ties in the heart are cut. If you cut those ties, those people are not your family. If you make those ties, those people are your family. And if you hate those ties, those people will still be your family because whatever you hate will always be with you." -C. Joy Bell C.
"You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened… or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fuck on." -Tupac Shakur
"Lots of things can be fixed. Things can be fixed. But many times, relationships between people cannot be fixed, because they should not be fixed. You're aboard a ship setting sail, and the other person has joined the inland circus, or is boarding a different ship, and you just can't be with each other anymore. Because you shouldn't be." -C. Joy Bell C.
"The great courageous act that we must all do, is to have the courage to step out of our history and past so that we can live our dreams." -Oprah Winfrey
"I think it happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you've known forever don't see things the way you do. And so you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on." -Nicholas Sparks
"Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny." -Steve Maraboli
"As long as I am breathing, in my eyes, I am just beginning." -Criss Jami

Class Description
Nostalgia Super Stock is an index-style foot brake only class for the year models, body styles, and engine combinations, which accurately represent those cars, which raced in the A/FX and Super Stock classes of the '60s. Certain exceptions in the authenticity of these cars will be allowed. Among those exceptions, but not limited to, are factors concerning safety, equality in performance, availability, and durability. Classification will be based on a visual inspection and an e.t. range. No modifications, which alter the car from factory stock, are permitted unless they are specifically allowed in these rules. Sandbagging, excessive braking near the finish line or excessive mph for a given e.t. is subject to result in a disqualification. Nostalgia Super Stock is an all run field, and will compete on an NHRA Sportsman type ladder. The class will qualify by elapsed time closest to index, be paired according to qualifying positions, and then advance to eliminations. All qualifiers in Nostalgia Super Stock must have a valid elapsed time recorded to be placed into eliminator competition.

GLENDORA, Calif. (April 3, 2013) – Robert (Trey) Capps has been named director of NHRA's South Central Division, it was announced today by NHRA officials. Capps has been involved in the sport of drag racing for more than 15 years serving in a variety of positions at the track level as well as an event director.
"We are excited to introduce Trey as the new division 4 director," said Josh Peterson, NHRA vice president of racing administration. "He brings a wide range of relevant experience that will prove beneficial to manage and grow the division. His familiarity with the South Central Division will provide for a smooth transition."
Most recently, Capps worked at ProMedia serving as event director for the NMCA Muscle Car Nationals and before that as a track technical consultant. He joined ProMedia after a five year stint with Texas Motorplex in Ennis, Texas, as an event coordinator, competition director and track crew member. Capps graduated from the University of North Texas with a bachelor of science in recreation and leisure studies, minoring in manufacturing engineering technology.
"I grew up in Division 4 and am excited to get back to the area and work with the member tracks and reconnect with the racers," said Capps. "I intend to work hard to expand the division's member track roster and develop programs and activities to grow the racing community and make Division 4 one of the best in the country."
Capps begins his new role as division 4 director on April 18. He and his wife will relocate to Texas from Southern California.
NHRA's South Central Division is responsible for conducting and overseeing drag racing activities in Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. Currently, there are nine NHRA member tracks in the region: two in Louisiana, two in Oklahoma, and five in Texas.

Last season finish: 17-4, 6-0 NCC. Lost in Class 4A West Side sectional opener to Lake Central
Inside the Mustangs
Leading returning scorer: Nate Bubash, 15.4 ppg
Leading returning rebounder: Bubash, 7.1 rpg
Star power: Michael Schlotman, Sr., G. The William & Mary-bound point guard just keeps getting better. The Indiana Junior All-Star worked hard on his offense and should be more aggressive this season.
Newcomer to watch: Craig Dedelow, Sr., F. The guard has moved to forward and will not just be a 3-point specialist. This high IQ kid will bang inside with the big boys now.
Can this be the year?
The proud Mustangs had their three-year run as sectional champions snapped by Lake Central last season. Coach Mike Hackett has one of the best two-man games in Michael Schlotman and Nate Bubash. The development of Drew Hackett will be key. Expect much more from the coach's son. Bubash was not only a beast in the paint, he hit 12 3-pointers. This will be a typical Munster team with great defense and steady, sure offense. Munster hasn't lost a NCC game since the conference was created. Expect a big crowd and a great game when the Mustangs travel to Andrean at the end of the year. "We would like to win our conference again," Mike Hackett said. "We'd like to get back to winning the sectional again. Lake Central is the favorite, but I like what we have."

Wow! What a coup for TBS! Conan has signed with TBS, not Fox, as many had figured. Conan will air at 11 p.m.-midnight, head-to-head against Jon Stewart, a half-hour earlier than Dave and Jay. That's a shrewd move too. George Lopez will be pushed back to midnight.
Says Conan in the announcement: "In three months I've gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I'm headed to basic cable. My plan is working perfectly."
Good news for you Conan fans? You like the earlier time slot? Who will win the Daily Show vs. Conan battle?
Here's the full TBS announcement:
Conan Picks a Home – And It's TBS
Comedy icon Conan O'Brien is joining TBS to host a late-night talk show that is expected to debut in November. The EmmyÒ-winning comedian's new program will be followed by Lopez Tonight, which will shift to a midnight time slot.
O'Brien began talks in earnest with TBS just last week, after George Lopez personally called him to ask that he consider joining the network's late-night line-up. "I can't think of anything better than doing my show with Conan as my lead-in," Lopez said. "It's the beginning of a new era in late-night comedy."
Said O'Brien: "In three months I've gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I'm headed to basic cable. My plan is working perfectly."
O'Brien and Lopez will give TBS a dynamic lineup in late-night television. TBS – which has built a programming slate that appeals to a young, diverse audience – expects O'Brien to be a long-term addition to the network's late-night landscape. O'Brien will host his hour-long, yet-to-be-titled show Mondays through Thursdays at 11 p.m. (ET/PT).
"Conan has been the comedic voice for a generation. TBS already has a huge audience of young comedy lovers, and Conan's show will give these fans even more reasons to watch our network," said Steve Koonin, president of Turner Entertainment Networks.
With the addition of O'Brien's show, TBS will establish two hours of late-night talk. Lopez Tonight, while just a few months old, has already become a destination show for a diverse audience. The Lopez Tonight audience is young as well, with a median age of just 34.
"For decades, late-night TV has been dominated by broadcast television," Koonin said. "Now, with a young audience and a growing late-night lineup, TBS is set to be the choice of comedy fans for years to come."
O'Brien is well-known from his many years in comedy. He grew up in a large, Irish Catholic family in a suburb of Boston . His love of comedy began at an early age and carried on when he entered Harvard University , where he earned a degree in history. During his years at Harvard, he also wrote for the legendary Harvard Lampoon publication, eventually serving as its president.
After leaving Harvard, O'Brien went to Los Angeles , where he found several writing jobs for television, including HBO's Not Necessarily the News. After returning to the East Coast, O'Brien joined the writing team at Saturday Night Live, earning his first Emmy in 1989. He was writing for the hit show The Simpsons when Lorne Michaels approached him about a new late-night series for NBC. In 1993, Late Night with Conan O'Brien launched. The show ran for 16 years, ending when O'Brien briefly took over The Tonight Show.
O'Brien is currently touring the United States and Canada with his live show, Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour.
TBS, a division of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., is television's top-rated comedy network. It serves as home to such original comedy series as My Boys, Tyler Perry's House of Payne and Meet the Browns, as well as the upcoming Neighbors from Hell and Are We There Yet?; the hit late-night series Lopez Tonight, starring George Lopez; hot contemporary comedies like The Office and Family Guy; and specials like Funniest Commercials of the Year; blockbuster movies; and hosted movie showcases. TBS also presents major live events, including star-studded comedy festivals in Chicago and Las Vegas .
