1. An electrical outlet and cord management system for operative connection to a mains power supply or a data source comprising:a free-standing tower including a base having a diameter wider than the diameter of the tower and at least one electrical outlet for selective connection of at least one electrical device having an electrical cord; and,a cover for selective connection over and around the tower; the cover for enclosing the tower and for covering the at least one electrical outlet and electrical cord, the cover also defining a volume for containing and managing the electrical cord and a gap between the base and cover allowing the passage of electrical cord between thee base and the cover when attached to the tower. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein the tower includes a surge protection circuit operatively connected to at least one electrical outlet for providing surge protection to the circuit. 3. The system of claim 1 wherein the tower includes a data port for connecting a data device to the tower. 4. The system of claim 1 wherein the base includes horizontally protruding stabilzing spokes. 5. The system of claim 1 wherein the cover extend from the top of the tower to the base and the cover has a lower edge with at least one opening allowing the passage of cords between the interior and exterior of the cover. 6. The system of claim 1 wherein the cover extends from the top of the tower towards the base and defines a gap between the cover and the base when the cover is attached to the tower. 7. The system of claim 1 wherein the cover includes an arcuate top. 8. The system of claim 1 wherein the cover includes a right fixture operatively connected to the tower for providing a light source. 9. The system of claim 1 wherein the tower includes at least one tray adjacent an electrical outlet to assist in supporting electrical cord wrapped around the tower. 10. The system of claim 1 wherein the base includes an attachment system for attaching the base to a surface. 11. The system of claim 10 wherein the base includes at least one hole adapted for bolting or screwing the base to the surface. 12. The system of claim 10 wherein the attachment system includes an adhesive surface on the underside of the base for bonding the base to the surface. 13. The system of claim 1 wherein the cover includes a fastening device for operative connection of the cover to the tower. 14. The system of claim 13 wherein the cover is attached to the tower by a screw. 15. An electrical outlet and cord management system for operative connection to a mains power supply or a data source comprising:a free-standing tower including a base having a diameter wider than the diameter of the tower and a plurality of electrical outlets for selective connection of electrical devices having electrical cords; and,a cover for selective connection over and around the tower, the cover extending from the top of the tower to the base for enclosing the tower and defining a gap between the cover and the base when the cover is attached to the tower for containing and managing the electrical cord.
