MATLAB License for Baseball Work

Donation protected
Hello to my readers and friends in the Mariner community, on Facebook, and in baseball research circles.

I've begun the difficult process of launching a business in baseball informatics and analysis that I hope will be enlightening to my readers and significant to our understanding of the greatest game on Earth.  In order to pursue several new areas of research into sequential baseball analysis that may be difficult to handle in relational databases or open source software platforms, I would like to acquire MATLAB.  MATLAB has a dedicated user community that has developed millions of different scripts that perform various statistical analyses that will speed up research and prevent me from reinventing the wheel.

On top of that, anyone who contributes to this campaign will be guaranteed some level of complementary access to my subscription-based blog site (coming soon to the detectovision.com family of blogs).  If you contribute at least $10, I'll comp you for three months.  If you contribute at least $20, I'll comp you for six months, and if you contribute $40 or more, I'll comp you for a year.  Once the site launches, I'll be charging $5 per month to view commentary and statistical analysis unlike anything else on the web and specifically geared toward pushing forward our understanding of the influence of context (weather conditions, umpire biases, strength of competition faced, league parity, pitch sequences, etc.) on the game for the purpose, eventually, of building better predictive models and aiding in the analysis of minor league, international and college statistics.

Any help that you can provide to start me moving in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.  I look forward to the journey!
