The year is ending with very positive changes and new opportunities for the Foundationto Hear is to Live (Fundacion Oir es Vivir).
The end of 2013 has been a very important and emotional time for the Foundation Oir es Vivir which has expanded with the opening of its new Integral Center for Hearing Health, strategically located in the City of Knowledge, and with additional human resources.
On 22d of October 2013, the Foundation inaugurated its new center which now offers the possibility to Panamanians to go through the whole process of diagnosis, response and rehabilitation to hearing loss under one same roof. This helps ensure improved attention, strong follow-up and an overall more rapid process. In addition to new equipment, to undertake the algorithm of hearing exams which may be needed by patients, the center also includes a sound proof language therapy room and a sound proof cabin to allow for hearing tests to be conducted without exterior sound pollution. "It is very exciting to be able to do all the hearing exams and give the appropriate solutions all in the same place!" said Giovanna Troncoso, the President of the Foundation.
The Foundation's team was recently completed with the arrival of a new Executive Director who joined the team early September this year. Alice Golay, who has previously worked for the United Nations in variouscountries (Mali, Niger, Pakistan, Switzerland and Italy). will be focusing on ensuring that the Foundation can be sustainable and carry out its projects as planned to improve the life conditions of vulnerable households in Panama that are affected by hearing losses. Two interns also joined the Foundation during this trimester. A student in Auditive Health at the Specialized University of the Americas, which helps the Foundation team with the screenings in the field and attending patients at the new center, and a student in Law, who works on the effort to have a hearing screening law for all new-born children in Panama.
The Foundation continued its proactive awareness-raising through the organization of various events in the past months. Its 4th free Information Session for teachers took place on 16 October 2013 and was attended by more than 60 teachers from different schools of Panama City. Four lecturers were invited to talk (psychologists, pedagogists and other professional in the education sector) on themes that were related to the social inclusion of disabled children in classrooms. Lecturers also gave tips to teachers to help them detect hearing losses early enough. A round of "Free Hugs" also took place on 22 of September 2013 in one of Panama's largest commercial center to attract attention on hearing disabilities which remain too often invisible. This was the third round of the "Free Hugs" activity undertaken by the Foundation so far.
Awareness raising and orientation at all levels of the Panamanian society remains one of the Foundation's major focuses. Information-sharing at all levels in turns promotes improved social inclusion. It is key to help ensure the development of hearing impaired children's abilities and to allow them to become fully active members of society.
This was further reinforced by the presence of Fundacion Oir es Vivir in various Medias throughout October and November. Interviews slots on the major Panama TV and radio channels (TVN2, Canal 37, Radio Panama, Omega Stereo, SER TV) were given to the Executive Director and the Hearing Specialists of the Foundation. This was agreat opportunity to remind the population of Panama of the importance of early detection of hearing problems to mitigate their impact on children's abilities to develop language, have the opportunity to present the Foundation'sactivities and announce the exciting opening of the new Integral Center for Hearing Health in the City of Knowledge.
The Foundation continued to implement activities of hearing screenings in public schools in vulnerable communities for the timely detection and response of hearing problems. The Foundation also reached an indigenous community, Union Embera, during a field trip to do hearing exams at the end of October. The Foundation was part of an integrated medical team with personal from other organizations, and gave an orientation talk to parents on ear hygiene. The Foundation is developing a pilot project to ensure hearing health in remote communities of indigenous areas for which it will be looking for funds for implementation in 2014.
This year the Foundation has undertaken 1,100 screening in schools, companies, and in the office facilities(that are currently being followed up). It has also provided hearing aids to 18 patients without low economic incomes and provided language therapy to six children.
Furthermore, the Foundation was also active in linking young hearing disabled people wishing to work with companies that are mobilized to give employment opportunities to disabled persons. The Foundation conducted the initial interviews and then gave recommendations to the companies (which included banks and sportswear companies). Various young disabled boys and girls are now successfully employed.
Fundacion Oir es Vivir is so grateful to its donors for allowing the implementation of its planned activities. A million thanks to all those who support Fundacion Oir es Vivir and you can follow us on facebook Fundacion Oir es Vivir and twitter OIRESVIVIRPTY. And check out the new website that is being developed at www.fundacionoiresvivir.org.
In a touching and simple ceremony, on June 8, we have donated hearing aids to children and adults so that all may have the gift of audition! We wish them all the best in the world with this new opportunity!
We extend our appreciation to Ms. Diana Abouganem, producer of La Cage Aux Folles who offered support our work with the proceeds from the collection of the work presented in June. We take a few nights of theater to deliver educational flyers to attendees.
On May 14 the III Art Auction for Children took place, to benefit our Foundation and the Children's Hospital, together will be adapting an area Hospital to offer the possibility of examining visual reinforcement audiometry. This will support the early detection of hearing loss.
This month of May we organized the donation of hearing two girls, Ana Lucia and Mercedes, who start now, with their families to discover the world of sounds and work in oral rehabilitation.
BENEFITING CHILDREN WITH HUNDREDS OF Hearing Tests
Public School José de San Martín, Kinder Smart Kids and Home Divine Child were three beneficiary institutions this month with our hearing health program that allows early detection of hearing loss to be identified and treated.
It seems that the year it is blessed for our Foundation, We thank the Japanese Embassy and its Ambassador S. E. Ikuo Mizuki who made a substantial donation to our organization, allowing us to purchase new equipment required for hearing health examinations. We hope to have soon purchased and installed in order to help thousands of people around Panama. We received the donation with Dr. Cynthia Guy, president for life, and members members of our Board.
Commemorating the anniversary of the Children's Hospital XIII Specialized Consultation, Hearing is Living Foundation was invited by the Department of Nursing Teaching to participate in the First Day of Parent Education. Dilia Herrera, Administrative Director and Ms. Aixa Lambert presented the foundation to the present and presented the topic "The importance of hearing health."
Every month we welcome at our offices located in City of Knowledge - Building 234 - Suite 101 - to parents becoming aware of the importance of hearing screening bringing their children to the test! Congratulations to all those who make this important decision.
This month we serve more than 70 children in pre-kindergarten and kindergarten, under the program Quality Road UDELAS. We also do tests to children of Happy Kids. The importance of this action is to allow early detection of any condition or disorder that may be unnoticed and untreated undoubtedly begin to affect language development and school performance.
We gave an interesting talk teacher education body of Alfred Nobel School. In this way we support their educational work with valuable information that will also benefit from the hundreds of children they raise.
We keep going!!! and with your help and support everyday we are closer to reach our goals.!! Thank you!!!

My Nonprofit Reviews
Keith H.
Review for MIRACLE FOUNDATION , Austin, TX, USA
The Miracle Foundation (TMF) has made an incredible difference to the lives of many orphaned children in India. Before doing volunteer work for the organization last year I had previously spent a fair amount of time traveling throughout much of the country. Although I loved my time traveling there I often saw children living in the streets with little to no hope of obtaining a better life. So when I volunteered for TMF and saw firsthand a couple of the orphanages that TMF supports and runs, I was truly amazed at how well the children are taken care of and how much better their lives are and will be in the future due to what TMF provides them.

Caltrain officials say the Federal Railroad Administration has granted a waiver allowing operation of electric multiple-unit (EMU) passenger rail equipment built to European standards in mixed traffic.
The waiver, deemed by Caltrain to be critical to its electrification and modernization program, relies heavily on installation of Positive Train Control along Caltrain's 55-mile San Jose-to San Francisco route. Without the waiver, Caltrain says it would be unable to complete its $1.5 billion project to electrify its route, which is linked to the Golden State's 700-mile, $44 billion high speed rail plan.
Though the waiver allows EMU and diesel-hauled passenger equipment to operate concurrently, freight operations remain subject to temporal (time-of-day) separation along the route.
"People thought they could only get this level of service by having BART. This out-BARTs BART," said Bob Doty, head of the joint Caltrain-high speed rail program. "This tiny little streak of rust out here will be the first in the United States to allow mixed operations of service."
In a statement, FRA said "collision avoidance … is the first line of defense in assuring passenger rail safety, and that collision management, achieved through the operation of vehicles designed with CEM [crash energy management], is the second line of defense that effectively reduces the severity of an incident, should it occur."
Supporters of California's HSR project note that California must apply for a similar waiver from FRA for the statewide project, but since Caltrain has established a guideline, such a waiver might be more easily attained.
FRA says it will revoke the waiver if Caltrain fails to meet various criteria in implementing its plan. Caltrain must conduct crash tests after its new equipment is built, and must construct rail bridges at several intersections, as well as install PTC.
Doty said that in testing to date, EMUs passed each safety test laid out by the FRA, which had never tested its assumption that the European cars were less safe. "In every case, the equipment we wanted to bring in was equal to or better than what's running in the United States today," he said.
CSX officials Tuesday confirmed press reports of an accord reached late last week between the Class I railroad and New York State on implementing HrSR (higher speed rail) along the Empire Corridor, which links Buffalo, Albany, and New York City.
CSX is the owner of most of the route's right-of-way, including between Buffalo and Schenectady, where the state is focusing on improving speeds from 79 mph to 110 mph. The agreement does not specify a 110 mph target; CSX has suggested 90 mph would be more readily attainable. Amtrak trains south of Albany reach 110 mph for a short distance.
The state seeks to build a third track along the route to facilitate HrSR passenger trains while minimizing interference with CSX operations. The new track apparently will meet CSX's insistence that it be separated by at least 30 feet from the nearest freight track, something CSX seeks to protect the safety of its workers and equipment. New York had balked at this measure in the past. Some land acquisition by the state may be required to meet this provision.
In a statement, CSX spokesman Robert Sullivan said the agreement "is consistent with CSX Transportation's commitment to work with state and federal officials to help find ways to safely and efficiently enhance passenger service in upstate New York, while at the same time ensuring the continued delivery and growth of job-creating, vital, green freight rail service."
"I appreciate CSX's readiness to do their part to make the promise of high speed rail in New York a reality," said Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) in a prepared statement. Slaughter has been generally supportive of passenger rail improvement efforts within New York and throughout the U.S.
Bombardier Transportation has won a $241 million contract to supply, install, operate, and maintain a 3.6-kilometer (2.2-mile) INNOVIA Monorail 300 system for the King Abdullah Financial District, the new financial and business center under development in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Bombardier was awarded the contract by Saudi Oger Ltd., a Saudi Arabian construction company responsible for turnkey construction of the system.
Engineering and design will be performed at Bombardier's site in Kingston, Ontario, and manufacturing of the 12 cars will be carried out by Bombardier in Pittsburgh.
Bombardier will design and supply all of the system-wide Electrical and Mechanical (E&M) elements for the six-station monorail system, including six INNOVIA Monorail 300 trains (12 cars) with BOMBARDIER CITYFLO 650 automatic train control technology for driverless operation as well as providing project management, systems engineering and integration, testing, and commissioning.
Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's Board of Directors has approved a contract with Kawasaki Rail Car Inc. to manufacture 428 rapid transit cars, known as the 7,000-Series model, for $886 million.
Approximately 300 cars will be used to replace Metro's older 1,000-Series cars, in service since Washington Metro began operations in 1976. Another 128 cars will be used for Metro's planned service extension to Dulles International Airport. The cars will begin arriving on the property for revenue service in 2013, with all 428 cars delivered by 2016.
WMATA officials said the cars will have improved crash energy management systems, extra leg room, and other amenities. Metro Interim General Manager Richard Sarles says it's a significant move in following through on a National Transportation Safety Board recommendation.
"Metro remains dedicated to providing the best service, equipment, and facilities possible for our customers," said Metro Board Chairman Peter Benjamin. "Today's action will allow us to move forward with a critical item that will enhance safety and help bring our system nearer to a state of good repair."

L.B. Foster Co. announced Friday that it is extending its previously announced cash tender offer for all outstanding shares of common stock of Portec Rail Products, Inc., until July 30. The tender offer, made through wholly owned subsidiary Foster Thomas Co., was previously set to expire June 1.
As of May 27, 5,658,470 shares of common stock had been tendered in and not withdrawn from the offer. These tendered shares constituted 58.93% of the outstanding shares of common stock.
U.S. carloadfreight and intermodal traffic once again looked better in the week ended May 22, compared with 2009 levels, but "has leveled off after 12 consecutive weeks ofgains," the Association of American Railroads reported. U.S. carload traffic was up 10.6% from the comparable week in 2009, but down 12.4% from 2008. Intermodal traffic rose 12.7% from last year but was down 7.9% from 2008.
Fifteen of 19 carload commodity groups were up from last year, led by a 100.2% jump in metallic ores and a 79.7% increase in metals. Other significant increases included coke, up 59.7%, motor vehicles and equipment, up 46.8%, and waste and scrap materials, advancing 32.4%. Declines in four carload commodity groups were led by farm products excluding grain at 12.2%.
Canadian carload freight traffic rose 32.1% from 2009's corresponding week, while intermodal rose a similar 33.2%. Mexican carload freight traffic gained 13.4% in the week ended May 22 compared with one year ago, while intermodal rose 35.5%.
Combined North American rail volume for the first 20 weeks of 2010 on 13 reporting U.S., Canadian, and Mexican railroads was up 9.6% from last year, while intermodal traffic increased by 10.9%.
Florida East Coast Railway said Friday James Hertwig will become President and CEO of the company effective July 1, 2010. Hertwig previously was president and CEO of Carolina Freight Carriers Corp., president of Landstar Logistics, Inc., and, most recently, president of CSX Intermodal.
Hertwig currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Intermodal Transportation Institute at the University of Denver and isbeginning his third term on the Board of Directors for the Intermodal Association of North America.
"Jim's experience and skill set are an ideal fit for the FEC and will be extremely beneficial in driving the Company's growth and long-term franchise value," said FEC Chairman John Giles.
Hertwig succeeds David Rohal, who remains with Jacksonville, Fla.-based RailAmerica, Inc., as senior vice president, and also remains on the FEC Board of Managers. RailAmerica and FEC are both owned by Fortress Investment Group LL,
A joint venture between Russian Railways and Salzburg, Austria-based Alpine Bau GmbH, called Alpine-RZDstoy GmbH, will carry out work on the project to reconstruct railway tunnels 6 and 7 on the Sochi–Matsesta line. The agreement between the joint venture's owners was signed Friday in Sochi, Russia, during the V International Rail Business Forum "1520 Strategic Partnership."
The document was signed by Russian Railways Vice President Oleg Toni and Alpine Holding Supervisory Board Chairman Dietmar Aluta-Oltyan. Work will be carried out on the reconstruction of railway tunnels 6 and 7 on the Sochi–Matsesta line.
The work will involve systems of management quality control, and environmental management based on international ISO 9000 and 14000 standards, as well as OHSAS 1800 occupational health and safety standards. The work is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2012.
Sochi is the site of the 2014 Winter Olympics.
The U.S. Department of Transportation has released nearly $80 million in grants as part of the first, $8 billion U.S. high speed and intercity passenger rail program. A portion of Florida's $1 billion-plus allocation is now in the state's coffers.
The Sunshine State received $66.6 million for "program management and preliminary engineering on the planned 168 mph high-speed railservice between Tampa and Orlando, Florida," DOT said in a release. "This project will create jobs and generate economic activity as 84 miles of track are constructed, stations are built or enhanced, and equipment is purchased. Along with California, Florida was the only state to submit plans to the Department of Transportation to create a brand new, high speed rail line."
Of the remainder, $6.2 million was allotted for track relocation work in California on the Capitol Corridor, which will help bring about fewer delays and faster travel times along a route that connects the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento, the state capital. The funds would assist the Golden State's $44 billion, 700-mile HSR plan only indirectly.
Another $5.7 million is targeted for environmental assessments of planned new stations on the route between Milwaukee and Madison, Wis., aimed to host passenger rail service operating at speeds up to 110 mph. Similarly, $1 million is allotted for improved service on the Empire Corridor in New York, adding more right-of-way cleared to handle 110 mph trains.

"Even when I'm not playing as well, I think I'm able tactically to be more strategic than even, let's say, Venus of 2000. So that's one of the beauties of continuing to play as you get a lot of the years under your belt."

Picture: The Comedy Store on Sunset Blvd pays tribute to the great comedian George Carlin after the announcement of his death Los Angeles, California - 23.06.08
Comedian George Carlin felt "unworthy" during his recent stint in rehab, because his booze and drugs problems were nothing compared to the addictions of those in counselling with him.
The JERSEY GIRL star checked into rehab at Christmas (04) in a bid to check his addiction to alcohol and prescription pills, and he admits it really was a sobering experience.
He explains, "Some of the guys in there were taking 50 Vikes (Vicodin) a day and burning down their houses and backing into police vans and s**t. I felt almost unworthy.
"(But) I definitely suffered the affliction every addict suffers - I just couldn't stop. The addiction had more power than I did.
"Plus, for me, there were just too many requirements: finding the drink, counting out the f**king pills to see how many days were left before the prescription ran out."
Carlin, 69, insists he's got his addiction, which at it's height included a bottle-and-a-half of wine and four or five Vicodin a day, in check and insists sobriety isn't a struggle for him.
He adds, "I don't have a yen and I don't have an urge (for alcohol or drugs). Intellectually, if I'm in the supermarket and I pass the wine section, I say, 'Oh yeah, remember when you used to do that?' and I keep moving."
The pair recently enjoyed their first visit to the interactive experience in New York.
Dear Kit Harington, if it really is all over please cut your hair…
Mark Ronson's Uptown Funk, featuring Bruno Mars, has been named the most streamed...
Adonis Johnson Creed is the son of legendary boxer Apollo Creed, who died fighting in the ring after a post-retirement comeback.

Media enters the silly season, for both stories and corrections
From the New York Times to the San Francisco Chronicle, these corrections are in the running for Correction of the Year.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
In media circles, July and August are known as silly season. With many politicians, business leaders and others taking leave, so-called real news tends to trail off, leaving newsrooms scrambling to fill pages, broadcasts and websites with, well, anything.
Thus the eruption of coverage when, for example, Canadian signers Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger announced their engagement this week.
Perhaps the summertime news slowdown is also responsible for a recent spate of notable corrections, all of which were published this month. These offerings will likely be in contention when I look back at a year's worth of errors and corrections to declare the Correction of the Year.
"An obituary on Gore Vidal on Wednesday included several errors. Mr. Vidal called William F. Buckley Jr. a crypto-Nazi, not a crypto-fascist, in a television appearance during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. While Mr. Vidal frequently joked that Vice President Al Gore was his cousin, genealogists have been unable to confirm that they were related. And according to Mr. Vidal's memoir 'Palimpsest,' he and his longtime live-in companion, Howard Austen, had sex the night they met, but did not sleep together after they began living together. It is not the case that they never had sex."
Glad we got that, er, straight.
A couple weeks later, as detailed in this space, The Economist issued a correction after it maligned the reputation of the journalists working at a business publication:
"An earlier version of this article claimed that journalists at Bloomberg Businessweek could be disciplined for sipping a spritzer at work. This is not true. Sorry. We must have been drunk on the job."
Take note: summertime cocktails in the office can wreak havoc on your work product.
Rather than negligence, the next notable correction was the result of someone at The Atlantic being very much in tune with the comments being added to a story about the remake of the 1980s film Red Dawn.
"Correction: This post originally referred to Jennifer Grey as 'Ferris Bueller's sister.' As commenters have pointed out, her role alongside Swayze in Dirty Dancing is clearly the more relevant. We regret putting Baby in a corner."
Finally, August brought us a San Francisco Chronicle correction that. . . well, just read it and see.
"C.W. Nevius' column about Most Holy Redeemer banning drag queen performers incorrectly stated that entertainer Peaches Christ appeared at an event at the church's hall with a dildo shaped like a crucifix. He did not appear at the event, nor does he use the prop."
Farewell, silly season. You certainly lived up to your billing this year.

Transport Collection

Source: Museum Victoria
Transport has played a key role in the settlement and development of Victoria, helping to shape the form of our urban and rural landscapes and impacting on the everyday life of all Victorians for over 175 years.
The Museum's Transport collection aims to document historical developments in the types of transport used both within Victoria and between Victoria and other Australian or overseas locations. In particular it focuses on the nature of technological change, as well as the social impact and context of changing modes of transport. A particular emphasis of the collection is to record aspects of our transport heritage that are distinctively Victorian.
The collection commenced with ship models originally displayed in the 19th century international exhibitions. Through the 20th century the Industrial & Technological Museum and then the Science Museum acquired historically significant aircraft and vehicles with a strong Victorian provenance, including horse-drawn and early motor vehicles. A series of models was commissioned documenting the development of locomotives and rollingstock of the Victorian Railways. Many of the larger items also document significant milestones in Australian innovation or manufacture.
Significant items:
- Flight Memory (Black Box) Flight Recorder prototype.
- Duigan biplane, the first Australian-built aeroplane to achieve a successful powered flight.
- Aubrey Lock aero engine (1910), the 2nd oldest Australian aero engine; Gipsy Major aero engine (serial no.1, by GMH, Fisherman's Bend, circa 1939), the first aero engine mass-produced in Australia.
- Pre-1925 British, French and American aero engines.
- Wirraway aircraft.
- Prototype Victa Air Tourer.
- Gerald & Lorna Dee collection of railway locomotive and rollingstock builders' plates: an internationally significant collection of over 350 plates.
- Eric Quinlan Collection of over 100 locomotive plates.
- Victorian Railways uniforms, badges, equipment, union testimonials, watches and other memorabilia.
- 1/3 scale model of Victorian Railways C-class steam locomotive (built by apprentices).
- Polly tank locomotive Z-526: first steam locomotive built at Newport Railway Workshops (1893).
- Cable Tram No. 1 (1880), Melbourne's first cable tram, and related cable tram archives and artefacts.
- Nationally significant locally manufactured automobiles: including Thomson steam car (1898), Haines & Grut (circa 1909), Deliverette prototype (1947), Holden 48-215 (1950), Hartnett (1950) & Ilinga prototype sports car (1972). Also letter books and other archival material relating to Thomson Motor Co.'s attempts to manufacture cars in Melbourne (circa 1900-1903).
- Horse-drawn vehicles, including Abbott & Downing Concord Coach (1867), Hooper & Co. State Landau & State Coach (1890s), Melbourne-built Albert Car (1860s), Baillieu Brougham (1880s) and Victorian-built Cobb & Co Coach (circa 1880).
- Significant examples of 19th and 20th century bicycles: including Malvern Star Collection of 12 bicycles from the best-known Australian manufacturer; Sir Hubert Opperman racing bicycles and memorabilia.
- Ship models, including examples of important late 19th and early 20th century immigrant ships, coastal Australian shipping and the Port Phillip Bay steamers Edina, Weeroona, Hygeia and Ozone.
- Cowley traction engine (1916), Cowley steam roller (1930s), McDonald Super Diesel Roller (1925) and Super Sentinel Steam Waggon (circa 1925).
- Morris Commerical Bullion Van (circa 1935) used by the Reserve Bank.

ESPN's Michael Wilbon said, "In terms of getting small-market teams like Kansas City to be able to compete and reach a World Series after about 30 years where it just looked like New York, Boston, L.A. were just going to dominate baseball in a way that excluded small-market teams. I think that's important to recognize" ("PTI," ESPN, 10/21). N.Y. Daily News' John Harper said of the MLB postseason, "If you've been watching this at all I don't know how you can't be wrapped up in this" ("Daily News Live," SNY, 10/21).FAN-TASTIC: NBATV's Chris Webber, on Clippers Owner Steve Ballmer's attitude: "As a fan, I love seeing that because I know guys that have no dollars to their name that would be that same way if they came in and got to own a team. I think it's good for the NBA, and I am happy to see somebody really proud to be an owner" ("Open Court," NBATV, 10/21).
RAPID FIRE: ESPN's Keith Olbermann, said of MLS firing MLSsoccer.com writer Chris Bianchi for his criticism of the Rapids front office, "If you ever want to be taken seriously your web site cannot just be for propaganda and you can't fire a reporter because one of your worst teams does not like his mildly critical tweet" ("Olbermann," ESPN2, 10/21).
WESTERN PROGRESS? CBS Sports Radio's Kyle Brandt, on the Rams possibly moving to L.A.: "That's not going to work because L.A. doesn't want the Rams. St. Louis doesn't even want the Rams" ("Rome," CBSSN, 10/21). Bears WR Brandon Marshall, on a team in L.A.: "From a player's perspective, I think we'll love it. There's so much that you can do in L.A. but the problem is there are so many people from different walks of life and when you have that, I think you create a fickle fan base" ("Around the NFL," Showtime, 10/21).
FINDING SOLUTIONS: ESPN's Bomani Jones said, "Only in the NBA, by the way, can you look at your crisis management team and say, 'How do we fix this?' And the answer is, 'We're going to call T.I.'" ("Highly Questionable," ESPN2, 10/21).
DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL: Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban said of media-rights deals, "They'll be traditional TV, they're cable, they're broadcast and potentially over the air and that's what will drive the value as well because even online sports still drive consumption" ("Squawk Box," CNBC, 10/22).
DOMESTIC POLICY: NFL Senior Special Advisor to the Commissioner Lisa Friel said of whether the league was tone deaf to domestic violence concerns, "I think the league was listening to people and they didn't have all the right voices at the table" ("Today," NBC, 10/22).
Barclays Center rep: Seeking 'strategic partner'October 20, 2014 04:05 PM
SportsBusiness Journal reported this morning that Barclays Center is for sale. This afternoon, arena representatives provided the following statement, attributable to spokesman Barry Baum.
"Our goal is to identify a strategic partner as we continue to capitalize on the great performance of Barclays Center and the promise of Nassau Coliseum. The current management team will continue in its existing role."
Baum had previously declined comment. The statement confirms that a sale process will commence but also adds the news that the venue's current management team, which is led by Brett Yormark, will remain.
Forest City Enterprises, which is selling the Barclays Center stake, is overseeing the $229 million renovation of Long Island's Nassau Coliseum. That project calls for the arena — home this season to the New York Islanders before they move to Barclays Center — to be redeveloped as a retail and entertainment complex.

The Green Scorecard
Jim Colon, Toyota Motor Sales USA
Allen Hershkowitz, Natural Resources Defense Council
Omar Mitchell, NHL
Betsy Wilson, UPS
Chris Womack, Southern Co.
"There is significant change on the horizon when it comes to progressing sustainability efforts," said Jim Colon, vice president of sales at Toyota Motor Sales USA. "How we all adapt to that change is the challenge for all of us."
Allen Hershkowitz, senior scientist in the urban program at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said that while there is much momentum around the issue of sustainability, there still could be difficulties finding true cost competitive strategies. However, he noted, even small steps on this front are ultimately big ones. "In the last 10 years, every commissioner in U.S. sports said that global warming matters to us," he said.
For the NHL, which recently published its own sustainability report, focus on these issues from sponsors helped to further focus its own efforts, said Omar Mitchell, director of sustainability at the NHL. "When I spoke with Commissioner Gary Bettman, I told him our corporate sponsors are prioritizing sustainability efforts, why aren't we?," Mitchell said. "Regardless of what you think of global warming, the mere fact we now have shorter winters impacts the future and growth of our league."
That sponsor relationship can also be a big help to get the ball rolling on both sides, said Betsy Wilson, director of global sponsorships and sustainability communications at UPS. "It's important to our brand to be with a brand that is looking to lead in this space," she said. "Nobody can solve these problems on their own."
Wilson highlighted UPS' relationship with the NCAA, in which the two have partnered to reduce carbon dioxide output at events like the Final Four.
Ultimately, said Chris Womack, executive vice president of Southern Co., while sustainability efforts need to have an effect on the environment, they still need to make an impact on the bottom-line. "It's important to make sustainability-related decisions and do it for the right reasons," he said, "but at the end of the day, these are not philanthropic organizations, and they need to make good business sense."
Quick hits from the panel:
On new all-electric auto racing class Formula E:
Hershkowitz: "At some point in the future, we're not going to have the ability to burn petroleum to race cars."
Womack: "There is still uncertainty if it can be sustainable from a business perspective."
On what they are keeping an eye on:
Womack: Carbon capture technology
Mitchell: Renewal and retrofitting of local hockey rinks
Hershkowitz: Focus on biodiversity efforts from leagues and sponsors
Wilson: Formula E
Colon: Fuel cell technology
2014 Social Media & Sports Series: Digital, Social and Mobile TrendsOctober 15, 2014 04:34 PM
Digital, Social and Mobile Trends
Roland Lange, YouTube
Vishal Shah, NFL
Crowley Sullivan, Campus Insiders
Bret Wilhoite, T3Media
The panel included Roland Lange, head of sports content partnerships for YouTube; Vishal Shah, a media strategist for the NFL; Crowley Sullivan, general manager of Campus Insiders; and Bret Wilhoite of T3Media sports operations. A prevailing theme was the need for authenticity in interacting with users. Though the term can be difficult to define, the social audience has made it clear what is not authentic.
On authenticity:
Wilhoite: "When you're having a social message or using a social channel to communicate with your fan base, if it's not authentic, they're going to see through it right away and you're actually going to create a bigger forest fire than what you're trying to achieve."
Sullivan: "Avoiding that advertorial approach is something that I think is really important."
On programming social media:
Shah: "It's certainly not a broadcast schedule when I refer to programming. It's almost an ethos. You're sitting there thinking, what is the best, most recent piece of content for that particular channel and that particular time with the storylines that you have. You have to understand the cadence of each of those networks. "
Lange: "We know that a lot of our young users use [social media] in the afternoon. Our older users use it after work extensively. You have to think about their personal schedules and who you are trying to reach."
On over-the-top networks:
Shah: "It's not just mobile anymore, it's connected devices, in general. The prolific quantity and installed base is only going to increase. The amount of time spent towards media is only increasing. We don't find [the NFL's OTT network] to be necessarily cannibalistic to television. It truly is additive. It enables you to create truly personalized experiences for your fans… It's not a trend. It's reality."
TV Timeout: California DreamingOctober 15, 2014 03:08 PM
MLB Network's Ken Rosenthal said of the Dodgers hiring Andrew Friedman, "It's a good idea to pay the brains of this outfit. If you are the Dodgers and you are trying to pay the best players, why wouldn't you want to get the best general manager?" ("MLB Tonight," MLB Network, 10/14). S.F. Chronicle's John Shea, on the Dodgers: "They have to use smarts a little bit more and maybe dollars a little bit less" ("Yahoo Sports Talk Live," CSN Bay Area, 10/14). MLB Network's Kevin Millar said, "Now it is time for the Dodgers to listen twice as much as they speak. Listen to what he is saying. Just listen to some plans and maybe Andrew Friedman is going to do the same." ("Intentional Talk," MLB Network, 10/14).
GOING SOUTH: ESPN's Taylor Twellman said of the sparse crowd for the U.S. national soccer team's match at FAU on Tuesday, "I have been skeptical from the beginning about MLS working down here. It already failed. They need a stadium first and foremost" ("Honduras-U.S.," ESPN, 10/14).
FAULTY PLANS: SNY's Marc Malusis said the Mets moving in the fences at Citi Field shows "just how much they missed originally with the ballpark that they put together" ("Daily News Live," SNY, 10/14).
MODERN-DAY LEADER: ESPN's Paul Finebaum, on retiring SEC Commissioner Mike Slive: "I think of him as one of the most influential people in the history of intercollegiate athletics. As we stand today, he's the most influential person in college athletics" ("SportsCenter," ESPN, 10/14). SEC Network's Gene Chizik: "He was so far ahead of his time in terms of being a forward thinker for not just the SEC, but for NCAA athletics … and expanded the footprint of this league" ("SEC Now," SEC Network, 10/14).
SHORT CHANGED? ESPN's Bomani Jones said of the NBA experimenting with a 44-minute game, "Who asked for this? … I have no reason to think this is necessary" ("Around The Horn," ESPN, 10/14).
NEW ARENA: Clippers Owner Steve Ballmer, on competing with the likes of Oprah Winfrey to buy the team: "I wasn't quite sure how to compete with anybody, I'll be honest. On the other hand, I kind of decided what I thought the team was worth" ("Jim Rome on Showtime," Showtime, 10/14).
HISTORY LESSON: ESPNW's Jane McManus said of potential changes to the NFL's player conduct policy, "I really do think the NFL needs to be leaning toward transparency with all of this. You really can't move forward without really looking at and addressing what's happened in the past" ("OTL," ESPN2, 10/14).
SMS 2014: The sponsor perspective on large global sporting eventsOctober 15, 2014 02:53 PM
Sponsor Perspectives on Big Events
Scott McCune, moderator
Marko Blagovic, Dow Chemical
Brian Goldstein, McDonald's
Eelco van der Noll, Anheuser-Busch InBev
The panel, one of two devoted to the topic of large events, was moderated by McCune Sports CEO Scott McCune and featured Marko Blagovic, director of sports marketing for Dow Chemical, McDonalds head of the FIFA World Cup Brian Goldstein, and Eelco van der Noll, a global executive for Anheuser-Busch InBev.
The panelists agreed that signing on to massive global sports events presents unique challenges, such as markets that are tough to penetrate, geo-political issues and logistical struggles. But each believes that the benefit outweighs the difficulties.
On the benefit of partnering with global sports events:
Blagovic: "There are important [issues, such as] how do you engage the whole community when you operate in a different place? And how do you get more into the government markets, which is an important segment that we weren't so successful in before, but the IOC partnership I think has opened so many doors for us."
Van der Noll: "[The World Cup] is the biggest drinking occasion in the world. It reaches every corner of the world. It allows us to activate beyond our global brand and catch up."
On strategy and ROI:
Goldstein: "We use this as an opportunity to not drive brand awareness, but to just look at it as an overall branding opportunity to let people see a different side of McDonalds and in many ways change their perception of what they think of the brand… When we do research after the fact and we look at our brand, it's not about ROI. It's really hard to define an ROI on something like that. It's more about a return on our objectives for the changing perception, people trusting our brand and looking at our brand in a different way."
On non-partner brands and ambush:
Van der Noll: "We're pretty relaxed about it. We don't care about designations or official sponsors. It's meaningless to consumers. There's really not much you can do with it. I think [with] a property like FIFA – our properties are very involved in the sale of assets, rights opportunities that simply don't come if you ambush. It also goes the other way. I think that consumers sort of understand and have an appreciation that there are bottom-feeders, for lack of a better word, and companies that really make a meaningful contribution to their experience of the World Cup."

SMS 2014: Assessing the value of large global sporting eventsOctober 15, 2014 02:24 PM
The question of how the World Cup and Olympics can become profitable for everyone involved was at the center of a panel on assessing the value of large global sporting events on day 2 of the 2014 CSE Sports Marketing Symposium.
Both panelists – Victor Matheson, an economics professor at Holy Cross, and Terrence Burns, managing director of Teneo Sport – agreed that changes must come to the current model, which heaps massive expenditures on host cities. Oslo's decision to drop its bid for the 2022 Olympics, leaving only Beijing and Almaty, Kazakhstan, as potential hosts, is seen as a key indicator of the failures of the current system.
Assessing the Value Proposition
Terrence Burns, Teneo Sport
Victor Matheson, College of the Holy Cross
Matheson: "Think of the great deal that FIFA and the IOC have here. They put on an event that someone else does all the planning, pays for putting on the events. Someone else builds all of the facilities so the event can be hosted and all of the athletes come in and participate for free. Yet the IOC then gets to sell Olympic rights for $7 billion to NBC. FIFA over the last four years prior to this World Cup sold their TV rights for $4 billion worldwide. What a great business this is that they're in."
Burns: "Pick cities now. Get them prepared ten years from now, so it's not an embarrassment, it's not a joke, it's not an insane cost. That's called brand management, and they have to look at bid city selection as the first step in Olympic brand management. You're seeing what's happened when you ignore it."
On the 2022 bid:
Matheson: "The biggest cost associated with this is not necessarily the running of Games, the operating costs. It's not necessarily what you need to build. Remember, the biggest cost is, in order to host the Games, you have to win the bid."
Burns: "This is a wake up call for the movement. It has to be. It's really unsustainable. More rationality [is needed] in the process. There should be built-in functionality long term in the bid process. Tell cities you can't bid on the Olympic Games unless you've held ten world championships over the last ten years. You can't bid on the Games unless you have 60 percent of your infrastructure built and in use already."
On proposals to rotate the Olympics between a small group of cities or keep them in Athens:
Burns: "It would kill the Olympic brand… The Olympics aren't about sport. Sport is the path that takes you to these values. We talked to people all over the world who aren't interested in sport, who never watch sport, except for the 17 days of the Olympics on television. Why is that? It's because it's about pageantry. It's about us at the very basic level….[bid cities] get to reinterpret, they get to resurrect the Olympic brand with their own cultural pixie dust."
On the ideal host city:
Matheson: "The most successful Games was the Los Angeles Games. Almost no new infrastructure was used… If you don't spend billions of dollars building new facilities and, of course, Los Angeles has great airports, a lot of roads and hotels and all this. When you don't spend that kind of money, you can have a highly successful games, and this is an Olympics that made a huge profit for the organizers, cost almost no investment on the part of the city and, of course, was widely watched."
SMS 2014: Capitalizing on the intersection of sports and entertainmentOctober 15, 2014 12:38 PM
The Power of Pop Culture
Rembert Browne, Grantland, moderator
Tiki Barber, Thuzio
Matt Kramer, CSE
Kristen Ledlow, NBA TV
Jason McIntyre, BigLead.com
Thanks to crossover successes such as Shaquille O'Neal, more athletes than ever want to become active in acting, singing, investment and marketing endeavors, in addition to their on-court careers. An active interest among lifestyle publications such as GQ and Esquire in chronicling athletes' lives only expands those goals. But panelists agreed that strategically plotting such desires is critical. "Everybody wants to do everything," said Matt Kramer, CSE vice president of talent representation. "But you have to harness and direct all that. Not everybody should be a rapper or a singer or an actor."
Still, athlete interests in pop culture represent a potent way to expand their personal brands well beyond the scope of their on-field careers. And for entertainers, getting more involved in professional sports investment represents one of the most potent moves they can make from a financial perspective. "One of the biggest pieces of advice to entertainers is that getting into sports ownership is one of the best things they can do relative to ROI if they are patient," Kramer said.Going forward, digital platforms such as mobile and YouTube will represent a particularly fertile ground for athlete forays into pop culture and marketing. "I think we're at just the start of seeing some really interesting things in that area," said Jason McIntyre, Big Lead founder. "The [viral] videos the Manning brothers have done for DirecTV are just the tip of the iceberg."
Quick takes from the panel:
The session was dominated by discussion around NFL, NBA and WNBA athletes, with barely a mention of anybody from MLB. "We've been here for 45 minutes and we haven't talked baseball once. What does that say?," McIntyre said. Kramer responded that marketers increasingly want to tap into athletes' off-field lives, something less possible in baseball given the everyday nature of the game schedules.
TV dominates. "Media personalities are now bigger than 95, 97 percent of the pro athletes out there. They're in everybody's homes," Kramer said.
Local marketing is ripe for expansion. "Working a local level with multiple athletes can mitigate the risk from a big, national-level with a single athlete and what can happen if there's an issue with that particular guy," said Tiki Barber, Thuzio co-founder. "But the metrics, and measuring what' s happening locally, is more difficult."
