Erwin Redl Crystal Matrix
CRYSTAL MATRIX presents a selection of 15 crystals with light and sound. The 15 modules are arranged in a 5 by 3 grid in the center of the Wunderkammer and are spaced 50 cm apart.
Each module displays one or more crystals, depending on their size, on a rotating disk suspended from the ceiling at a height of one meter. High-brightness, multicolor LEDs floating 70 cm above the modules illuminate the crystals.
The purity and precise geometry of Swarovski crystals are a natural fit to the aesthetic of my art. The installation Crystal Matrix is a tightly woven composition of light, sound and crystals placed on rotating disks enticing the viewers to enjoy the sensuality of abstract thought.
The 12 minute color and sound sequence creates a sensual synaesthetic spectacle for the visitor of the Chamber of Wonder.
Swarovski Press Information
Inspired by Swarovski Crystal Worlds and its Chamber of Wonder concept, SWAROVSKI INNSBRUCK has a small wonder of its own: CRYSTAL MATRIX by Erwin Redl. Born in Austria, Redl lives in the U.S. and constantly places the virtually endless transformation potential of light at the center of his artistic creations, in combination with a new definition of spatial concepts in the age of digital media. CRYSTAL MATRIX, which marks Redl's debut at Swarovski, plays on multisensory effects and questions how a crystal sounds, or which light effects make a sound. Crystals appear to levitate in the room, and to radiate not just light but also musical tones. The senses of sound, sight, and touch come together in the Chamber of Wonder to create a multisensory experience. Without distracting optical influences, eyes and ears alone are able to concentrate on the magic of crystal. Action and interaction play an additional and important role in Erwin Redl's Chamber of Wonder: the observer becomes the participant, the visitors around you become teammates, so that within the three-dimensional realm of experience, a social relationship structure is created. It is against this backdrop that the crystal in the installation becomes a living, breathing organism that reflects all the colors of the rainbow thanks to Swarovski's color know-how.
Erwin Redl was born in 1963 in Gföhl, Austria. In 1993, after finishing his studies at the Vienna Music Academy with a BA in Composition (1990) and BA in Electronic Music (1991), he was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship for graduate studies in computer art at School of Visual Arts, New York, NY (MFA 1995). The artist lived in New York from 1993-2007 and moved to rural Ohio in 2007.
Erwin Redl investigates the process of "reverse engineering" by (re-)translating the abstract aesthetic language of virtual reality and 3 D computer modeling back into architectural environments by means of large scale light installations. In this body of work, space is experienced as a second skin, our social skin, which is transformed through the artistic intervention. Due to the very nature of its architectural dimension, participating by simply being "present" is an integral part of the installations. Visual perception works in conjunction with corporeal motion, and the subsequent passage of time.
The artist's work was featured in the 2002 Whitney Biennial, covering the Whitney Museum's facade with a three multi-color LED veils. In 2008 Erwin Redl created a sound and light installation for the Austrian Pavilion at the World Expo in Zaragoza, Spain. The Pacific Design Center's new Red Building by Cesar Pelli will feature four permanent installations by the artist to be completed in 2011. Erwin Redl's largest work to date is a computer-controlled 580 ft long outdoor LED-installation at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, OH completed in November 2010.
His work is represented in major national and international collections, among them the Whitney Museum of American Art New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the Milwaukee Art Museum collection.

I have more followers!
Thank you so, so much to:
This is for you guys!
I like Yoona. I really do. But I just can't stand it when people insist that she and Donghae aka YoonHae is real. I can see her with Yesung, I can see her with Leeteuk, I can see her with Heechul and thanks to Love Rain, I can totally picture her with Jang Geun Seuk…but I just can't see her with Donghae.
I think of them more as close friends. I don't know why. But truth be told, I believe in HaeSica and EunHae more than I do in YoonHae.
Also, I wish people would stop insisting that Donghae wrote 'Y' for Yoona. Good god, people, 'Y' can stand for anything. It can even stand for Yesung for that matter. But I read somewhere that he says it stands for 'you'. If you guys think 'Y' stands for a name than 'U' must stand for someone as well. But no, we all know it just means 'you'. As well as 'Marry U'.
BUT if it just so happens that someday, Donghae admits that he did write it for Yoona (hypothetically) then I stand corrected.
I don't mean to rant but come on, people!
But anyway, I totally respect people who ship YoonHae. I mean, we all have our own preferences, right? But I wish some people would stop bashing on Jessica as they pair Yoona with Donghae. They're all friends; their fans should be too.
End of rant.
Can someone please tell me where this is from?
So you hate our fishy?
You know what you guys are?
I can't believe anyone would hate this man:
You know what you guys need to do?
Eat food. ;)

u-he Bazille plugin synth set to be released soon
Long-awaited instrument coming in July
u-he's Bazille synth has become the company's Chinese Democracy. First previewed in 2009, we got a better taste of it at the 2013 Musikmesse, but only now do we have a sort-of confirmed release date: on or around 1 July.
Bazille offers a modular engine which allows for the patching of any signal output into any signal input, which means that it shares some common ground with ACE, another u-he synth. However, this time, we're dealing with digital synthesis rather than virtual analogue.
Specs are below. We'll be checking out Bazille at the earliest possible opportunity, and you can also keep your eye on the u-he website.
Bazille specs
- Hybrid modular system: digital oscillators, analogue filters - unlimited patching capabilities
- 4 oscillators with simultaneous FM (phase modulation, linear / exponential / relative FM), PD (phase distortion) and FR (fractal resonance).
- 4 multimode analogue type filters, 2 of which have 6 parallel outputs.
- 4 ADSR envelopes, 2 LFOs with multiple outputs, 2 ramp generators.
- 2 modulation maps (can be used as oscillator waveforms), lag processors, quantizer, inverters, rectifiers, sample&hold.
- Morphing snapshot sequencer: 8 slots of 16 steps each (splittable into 4, 8 or 12-step units).

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The Libertarian Party of West Virginia has selected Bill Talkington as its new chairman.
Talkington replaces Michael Wilson, who resigned due to health issues.
The Charleston Gazette (http://bit.ly/1eUiTMd) reports Wilson was chosen at the party's quarterly meeting Saturday in Flatwoods.
Talkington is a postdoctoral fellow in neuroscience at West Virginia University.
The party's candidates will appear automatically on the state ballot after its gubernatorial hopeful received 1.3 percent of the vote in November's general election. State law recognizes a party for ballot access when its gubernatorial candidate gets at least 1 percent of the vote.

DUBLIN (AP) -- Somewhere in Ireland, a burglar has the heart of a saint.
Officials at Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin say they're distraught and perplexed over the theft of the church's most precious relic: the preserved heart of St. Laurence O'Toole.
O'Toole was Dublin's archbishop from 1162 to 1180. His heart has been displayed in the cathedral since the 13th century, stored in a wooden box and secured in an iron cage.
Police say someone cut through the cage Saturday and stole the relic in its heart-shaped container. They're studying closed-circuit TV footage but have arrested nobody.
The dean of Christ Church Cathedral on Sunday said he feels devastated. He says the relic has no economic value but is priceless to those who visit the cathedral to pray in a chapel dedicated to O'Toole.

A thoughtful and suspenseful page-turner, The Historian is a wonderfully crafted story about the search for a book and a vampire that readers of Perez-Reverte's "The Club Dumas" and Pearl's "The Dante Club" will enjoy. For readers who like a good vampire story, this isn't a blood-sucking book, but it is a brilliant addition to Dracula lore.

Did you think you weren't "into" vampire tales? This elegantly written first novel may change your mind. Did Bram Stoker base his Count Dracula on the historical figure Vlad the Impaler, the cruel 15th Century prince of Wallachia? A father and then his daughter search for clues across time and borders in dusty Ivy League libraries and ancient monasteries. What does that dark legend have to do with modern times, and does that evil still exist?

I thoght this story was unnecessarily bloated. I found myself jumping ahead four or five chapters at a time and not missing a thing! One positve, Kostova knows how to write. But thats the problem, she writes too much. I highly recommend checking out the DVD Lost Worlds volume 4. It has a great documantary on Vlad Dracol that is more interesting than the book.

Proposed Amedments To Computer Fraud & Abuse Act
July 1, 2013
Enacted by Congress in 1986, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) builds upon existing computer fraud law (18 U.S.C. § 1030). Initially, the CFAA was intended to limit federal jurisdiction to cases "with a compelling federal interest-i.e., where computers of the federal government or certain financial institutions are involved or where the crime itself is interstate in nature." Notably, the CFAA criminalized certain computer-related acts such as distribution of malicious software code, propagating denial of service attacks as well as trafficking in passwords and similar items. Recently, the CFAA has gained prominence as a bludgeon used to prosecute a wide-range of activities, some broadly labelled "hacking" and other stretching the boundaries of "unauthorized" computer access.
Two recently introduced bills, one by Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) in the House and one by Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) in the Senate aim to amend the CFAA in hopes of ameliorating application of the CFAA to claims of breach of terms of service, employment agreements. Additionally, with the nickname "Aaron's Law," they also seek to limit what some see as the CFAA's tendency to allow for overzealous prosecution that they claim characterized Aaron Swartz's case.
In short the bills would amend the meaning of "exceeds authorized access," changing it to "access without authorization," which is defined to mean:
"to obtain information on a protected computer";
"that the accesser lacks authorization to obtain"; and
"by knowingly circumventing one or more technological or physical measures that are designed to exclude or prevent unauthorized individuals from obtaining that information."
For a well-documented discussion of the application and boundaries of the CFAA, check out the Electronic Frontier Foundations Legal Treatise on civil and criminal cases involving the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act here.
As businesses become ever more dependent on digital assets and systems, a working knowledge of the legal and regulatory framework that defines and protects those assets is paramount.

The rapid growth and expansion in the mobile market presents a number of privacy and security issues for mobile software and hardware developers, platform operators, advertisers and marketers who collect, store, use and share consumer information. As awareness of privacy risks grow among consumers, legislators and regulators are increasing scrutiny of mobile privacy and privacy policies in mobile apps.
Businesses operating in the mobile industry are facing a widening array of Regulatory compliance issues. Staying abreast of legal risks and issues can be daunting. How can mobile operators and application developers spot trends and adjust strategies to start competitive? First, keep an eye on FTC activity. Second, monitor new bills coming up in Congress. Third, follow this blog, adlerlaw.wordpress.com.
FTC Privacy Enforcement Actions
Earlier this year, the FTC expanded mobile privacy obligations beyond software to include hardware makers when it announced a settlement with HTC America over charges that HTC failed to use adequate "security by design" in millions of consumer mobile devices. As a result, the company is required to patch vulnerabilities on the devices which include #Smartphones and #Tablets. The settlement, the first action involving a mobile device manufacturer and the new "Privacy By Design" guidelines, sheds some light on the legal risks for mobile device manufacturers and, to some extent, mobile application developers.
Congressional Privacy Laws, Bills & Initiatives
Not surprisingly, federal legislators are taking up the mantle of Consumer Privacy in the area of Mobile Applications. In January 2013, U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson, introduced his mobile privacy bill, The Application Privacy, Protection and Security Act of 2013, or the "APPS Act,". The bill focuses on transparency, user control and security, mandating that an application 1) provide the user with notice of the terms and conditions governing the collection, use, storage, and sharing of the personal data, and 2) obtain the consent of the user to the terms and conditions. Significantly, the privacy notice is required to include a description of the categories of personal data that
will be collected, the categories of purposes for which the personal data will be used, and the categories of third parties with which the personal data will be shared.
The Bill also requires that application developers have a data retention policy that governs the length for which the personal data will be stored and the terms and conditions applicable to storage, including a description of the rights of the user and the process by which the user may exercise such rights in addition to data security and access procedures and safeguards.
App developers unaware of the data protection requirements may face significant risks and potential harm to their reputation among users of smart devices. If you have concerns about what key data protection and privacy legal requirements apply to mobile applications and the types of processing an app may undertake contact us for a mobile app legal audit. Vague or incomplete descriptions of the ways which a mobile app handles data or a lack of meaningful consent from end users before that processing takes place can lead to significant legal risk. Poor security measures, an apparent trend towards data maximisation and the elasticity of purposes for which personal data are being collected further contribute to the data protection risks found within the current app environment.

VIDEO: The Evolving Insider Threat- Dawn Cappelli, Randy Trzeciak of CMU's Insider Threat Center
This video from RSA Conference 2013 discusses:
- Who typically commits insider crimes – and how;
- How employees are being victimized from outside;
- Why our critical infrastructure is at heightened risk.
Even if you are an employer using standard commercial verification measures, you should be cautious about misuse of any information by employees, managers and contractors. Accordingly, you should be careful with training and education and not on only newly-hired employees. Further, plan on how login credential and access to sensitive information will be handled and/or turned over when training or when terminating, suspending, withholding pay, lowering pay, or taking any other adverse action against an employee.

Virtual fundraiser helps buy real food
March 13, 2013
Foodbanks in Iowa will benefit from a new fundraising campaign. The Iowa Foodbank Association, the AARP, and a Des Moines company called, Spindustry Digital, are sponsoring avirtual food drive on the internet.
State Director, Cory Berkenes from the association, says IowaFoodDrive.com makes it convenient and easy for anyone with a computer to donate. "Donors can choose from product packages. We have a new spring package for them to purchase."
While foodbanks appreciate all kinds of donations, he says financial contributions help buy more food. "You could donate a couple of jars of peanut butter, but the foodbanks buy in bulk. They could buy a case or pallet of peanut butter with the same money."
For example, people can donate $25 to help feed a family of four for a week, or $20 for six boxes of cereal.
Eight foodbanks belong to the Iowa Foodbank Association which serves all 99 counties in the state. That includes the River Bend Foodbank in the Quad Cities. It serves Scott, Clinton, Muscatine and Jackson counties. And it's affiliated with a large food pantry in Dubuque County.

Hey everyone, just wanted to post a small update and apologize for not being around. Everything has just been so hectic here! Well, my midwife suggested doing the quad screening blood draw so I agreed, turns out my numbers for neural tube defect came back high so they referred me out to a high risk dr. At that appointment, we talked to a genetic counselor and had two ultrasounds. Turns out everything with the baby is fine and didn't show any signs of ntd but I have to keep seeing the high risk dr for ultrasounds later on to still make sure everything is good. We also found out it's another boy!
This pregnancy has been very rough on me, I'm still nauseous on and off through out the day and still get sick easily. I've only gained six pounds, really tiny and barely showing. My midwife made the same comments but only will be concerned if the baby isn't thriving, but he seems to be so far so no worries. Still haven't made a decision on a name yet, we've got two first names that we like and no middle name yet ugh. It was so easy with ds#1, not so much with this one. Anyways, hope everyone is doing well! Can't believe I'm already half way through!

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - Two Sheboygan residents face retail theft charges for trying to steal over three thousand dollars worth of items from Wal-Mart this week.
According to a criminal complaint, Sheboygan Police were informed Thursday of a theft incident the previous day at their south Sheboygan location. Video footage showed 51 year old Mark Ball walking out of the store with over 14-hundred dollars of unpaid items, most notably two TVs. He left the area in a vehicle driven by 49 year old Patricia Nimmer.
Police were heading to Ball's residence to investigate when they got word that the vehicle was spotted again in the store's parking lot. Police responded and stopped the car with Nimmer driving and later found Ball as he exited the store with more unpaid items, including two TVs, worth over 16-hundred dollars.
When asked about the incidents, Ball admitted to the crimes and said he was doing them to pay off some sort of debt.

Express Degree
- Thursday, February 24, 2005
An old man was critically ill. Feeling that death was near, he called his lawyer. "I want to become
a lawyer. How much is it or the express degree you told me about?"
"It's $50,000," the lawyer said. "But why? You'll be dead soon, why do you want to become a lawyer?"
"That's my business! Get me the course!"
Four days later, the old man got his law degree. His lawyer was at his bedside, making sure his bill would be paid.
Suddenly the old man was racked with fits of coughing and it was clear that this would be the end. Still curious, the lawyer leaned over and said, "Please, before it's too late, tell me why you wanted to get a law degree so badly before you died?"
In a faint whisper, as he breathed his last, the old man said . . . .
. . . . "One less lawyer . . . . . ."

Has Apple lived up to its own hype with its new flagship device?
Import your Android contacts to Windows Phone
We talk you through the steps to copy your contacts from your Android handset to your new Windows Phone.
NB: Due to Android's dependency with Google accounts, you may find that your contacts already exist in your Gmail account. If so, you can easily sync your Gmail account with your Windows Phone: Just add 'Google' from the 'email + account' menu.
This guide was written using an Android handset with the Gingerbread (2.3.3) OS.
How to copy your Android contacts
From your Home screen tap on your 'Contacts' icon.
From your address book, tap the 'Menu' key on your handset (the one on the left).
Select the 'Import/Export' option from the popup menu.
In the Import/Export dialog box choose the 'Export to SIM card' option.
Before your Android will copy the contacts from your handset onto your SIM card, you'll be prompted to select the ones you want carried over.
When you originally set up your Android handset, you probably synced it with your Gmail (Google Mail) account.
If this is the case you'll probably see your entire email address book here, and we're guessing you won't be wanting to export all this to your SIM card...
Tick the check boxes of the contacts you want copied across.
Hit 'Export'.
Remove the SIM card from your Android handset and insert it in your Windows Phone.
From the Start screen on your Windows Phone, tap 'People'.
Look to the bottom right of your screen - tap the More menu '...' (represented by three dots).
Click on 'Settings'.
Select 'Import SIM contacts' and follow the instructions.
I don't have an Android: Copy contacts from other handsets

Training and nutrition go hand in hand. And now that you are armed with the Superman training program and diet, you are on your way to building super strength and size, as well as getting super shredded. But in addition to the whole foods that make up your main diet, supplements are a key role in helping you optimize recovery and maximize gains, as well as losses in the fat department. We've created the following supplement stack to provide you everything you need to reach your goals. If your goal is the get bigger and stronger, while also get leaner then start here with the following supplements.
A pre-workout supplement that will ramp you up, increase your strength and endurance, as well as mental focus is just what the doctor ordered to get through the challenging Super-Man superset workouts. MRI Black Powder Ultra delivers just that. It provides caffeine to not only pick you up, but increase muscle strength and endurance, along with tyrosine and taurine. There's also beta-alanine for further boosting strength and endurance, as well as arginine and ActiNOS to boost nitric oxide (NO) levels for better energy and bigger muscle pumps. Plus there's even bitter orange (Citrus aurantium), which not only boosts energy but helps to increase fat burning. Take 1 dose 30 minutes before workouts.
If you train late in the day, or are trying to stay away from stimulants for other reasons, a good alternative to Black Powder Ultra is NO2 Black Full Cycle. It delivers citrulline malate for real energy that fights fatigue to keep you going strong superset after superset. It also delivers a stack of NO-boosting ingredients. There's arginine to provide the source material that the body will convert into NO. It also has norvaline, which prevents the breakdown of arginine by arginase. The more arginine you protect the more can be coverted into NO. There's also ActiNOS, which increases activity of the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which catalyzes the reaction of arginine to NO. Plus, there grape seed and grape skin extract, which have been shown to enhance workout performance and prevent the NO molecule from being broken down by free radicals. Take 1 dose 30 minutes before workouts.
Whey Protein - ProLab Whey isolate
Whey protein has two top honors – it is both the richest source of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and it is the fastest-digesting protein you can get. This combination makes whey a powerhouse for building muscle, and recent research confirms this. Check the Super-Man diet for when and how much whey protein to take.
Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) - ProLab BCAA Plus
The BCAAs are composed of leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These three aminos are the most critical for muscle growth, especially leucine. Leucine has been shown to turn on the process of muscle synthesis mainly by activating mTOR, which you have likely heard tossed around in muscle hypertrophy discussions. The BCAAs also get used for fuel by the muscles and help prevent fatigue during exercise. Plus, they can help you lose fat. Take about 5 grams with your pre- and post-workout shake or take 5-10 grams during workout. You can also take about 5 grams with any meal on the Super-Man program to ensure maximum muscle protein synthesis.
Creatine - ProLab Creatine Monohydrate
There's probably not much to say about creatine that you don't already know. So we'll leave it at the fact that there is not a more effective supplement for boosting muscle strength and size. Hundreds of studies confirm its effectiveness with numerous studies demonstrating gains of close to 10 pounds of lean mass and strength gains of over 10%. Depending on the form you use, take anywhere from 1-5 grams with your pre- and post-workout shakes. Read the label for dosing.

Don't do as much travel as I used to. Remembered why I don't miss it a lot when I received an automated phone call Friday night from Delta saying my scheduled leisurely Saturday afternoon flight to New York had been canceled and replaced by a cartoonish Sunday itinerary that had me routed through Columbus, Ohio on something called Chautauqua Airlines, which Delta happily reported would still get me into LaGuardia at 2:02 p.m., assuming Chautauqua didn't first have to circle back and fulfill its other obligation of dusting crops just outside of Springfield. The 2:02 Sunday arrival would've been just fine if the NFL hadn't scheduled the Falcons-New York Jets game for a 1 p.m. kickoff in East Rutherford, N.J., or if commissioner Roger Goodell had the common decency to phone me and offer the use of his private jet. But no. The prima donna never called. And so. It was time to draw from all of those years of road nightmares. I also figured I might as well pass some time in plane, train and automobiles by putting together a blog. I'm weird that way. So here we go.
♦ ♦ ♦
Because of scenes like this one at Reagan National Airport in Washington D.C., all airports in New York, New Jersey, Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia were shut down. Even the Falcons moved up the departure time of their charter flight to beat the worst of the storm. (And by the way, Arthur Blank didn't call me, either.) Late Friday night, I waited through 45 minutes of busy signals and then 40 minutes of on-hold Christmas music when a call did through. And by the way, the next person who sings, "Let it snow, let is snow," gets punched in the nose. So I finally get a ticket agent on the phone, and I'm pretty sure I interrupted her while she was doing her nails. She says to me, "There's, like, this really bad winter advisory, and, like, it's REALLY messing everything up." And, like, I'm so not exaggerating how she said that. And when I asked her about my other options because this whole Columbus/Chautauqua thing just wasn't going to work for me, she responded: "I really haven't worked here for long so, like, I'm not really sure what to do. Umm …" And that's when I, like, poured myself a vodka, and came to the conclusion about four hours sleep was the best option.
♦ ♦ ♦
Alarm went off at 5:45 a.m. Saturday. Pretty sure I broke it. I kept hearing this voice in my head saying, "Like, I think you need to wake up, but, like, I'm not really sure because I'm new here." Headed to the airport. The place looked like Kabul. I found a really smart ticket agent who informed me that, indeed, most flights were canceled. There was one early flight still going to LaGuardia and another to Neward but bother were oversold and the wait list came in three-volume sets. (Our Falcons' guy, Darryl Ledbetter, texted me he was going to try to stand by on Air Tran flights. I laughed.) My super agent determined the best option was an 8:45 flight to Boston. Then a cab. Then a train. So I jumped on the airport tram and just as the doors closed I looked through the window and noticed that former Falcons coach Dan Reeves had to stop short because he couldn't get on. He didn't look happy. Actually, he looked like I looked before the vodka.
♦ ♦ ♦
Meet my new pal, P.J. Alexander. He checks in at about 6-4, 306 pounds and says he has "pretty hair." He sat next to me on the Boston flight. He was nice enough to let me share the arm rest, probably because he didn't want to get me angry and he knew I could take him. If P.J. looks familiar, it's because he's a six-year NFL offensive lineman who played for the Falcons in 2006 and was in their training camp in 2007 before being released. He played last season with the Florida Tuskers in the fledgling UFL. He managed to get through the season without actually knowing what a Tusker is. Told some great stories. Turns out he's the rest of us — he also hated Bobby Petrino (yes!). "He liked me for some reason," Alexander said, "but I didn't like him." Told one story of a Falcons' teammate breaking his finger. Petrino later saw him in the weight room and was nice enough (the player thought) to ask about the broken finger. The player said it was fine and that he could just "tape it up and modify" his grip to lift weights. Petrino's response: "Why don't you modify by putting some more [bleeping] weight on the bar," and he walked away. Turns out he also had a flight to catch.
♦ ♦ ♦
A lot of planes on the runway. Arrived in Boston just before noon, a little late. Jumped into a taxi for the 15-minute drive to the train station. (Accounting: $25, including tip.) This is my Boston cab driver. Forgot to get his name. But he told me snow wasn't expected in the city until about 9 p.m. and that Randy Moss was a lazy bum.
♦ ♦ ♦
This is the train station. It's just a little bigger than the one in Atlanta. It was a popular place Saturday.
♦ ♦ ♦
So far, so good. All departures are on time.
♦ ♦ ♦
And here comes my train now, right on schedule. OK, seriously. I missed the 11:40 train, but it was sold out anyway. I was there in time for the 1:45, but it also was sold out. Actually, every morning train was sold out. This was not normal for a Saturday. "Man, you wouldn't believe what it's been like here today," the guy behind the window said. So I had to wait around for the scheduled 3 o'clock, four-hour ride to Penn Station. Got the last ticket. Ate a burrito in the food court. I'm regretting it in mid-blog. (Accounting: $6.25 for the burrito. You'll be getting a receipt for $14.50, and you'll like it.)
♦ ♦ ♦
This is the train. It got into Boston late and departed one hour and seven minutes late. There's nobody on the platform right now because they all ran me over to get on board first, including some 92-year old women who screamed, "Get out of my way you lazy bum! You're just like Randy Moss!"
♦ ♦ ♦
I heard from Mr. Ledbetter. Long story short: He stood by for two morning flights. Didn't get on either. (He never learns.) Caught a later flight to Boston, arrived and the 6:30 p.m. train was sold out. So he's on the late night Amtrak that is scheduled pulls into Clarksville at 2:30 a.m. Sunday. If he's not completely lucid in his pre-game Tweets, that's why.
♦ ♦ ♦
Made it! Flight, I mean train, No. 165 pulled into Penn Station at 8:14 p.m. Haven't ventured outside yet but I looked out the window as we were pulling into the station, and it looks ugly. I'll try to post a snow shot later. Just wanted to bring this trip to an official end. Thanks for helping me get through it. I'll check back in later.
♦ ♦ ♦
OK, peeps. Here are a couple of shots. I love New York. But because of days like this, I'm very happy to be living in Atlanta. Cab driver almost side-swiped a parked car between the hotel and the train station. Snow and slushy wet stuff has been coming down since 2 p.m., according to my weather source (cabbie). He says they've projected 12 inches but adds that it shouldn't be too bad tomorrow. I just don't know what "not too bad" means to him. Let's see how the Falcons handle this.

One of your best, Jeff!
You've probably been too busy rushing around today to read the AJC.com, so let me fill you in: USC's football program is under investigation again. Weren't you and I just discussing/wondering when the NCAA's investigation of Reggie Bush would be complete? Well, now there's another Trojan football player who might have received special consideration (this time from a booster) under the microscope. Want to put a bet down on how long this look-see drags on?
By the way, it's 75 here in La Jolla today. Just in case you care…

Will you meet him at the station?
Oh man, in the pantheon of Holiday Classics (of which, Christmas Vacation is the very PINACLE of celluloid achievement!), Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is often overlooked.
I think it's because of the crappy 1980's synth-score. Because otherwise, the film is just about the funniest thing ever.

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with sports (accept it has Mike Tyson in an awesome cameo)…
… but when you get to your hotel somewhere in Jersey, you need to order up The Hangover on pay per view.
Order up some good Chinese delivery (something you can't find in Georgia outside of one hole in the wall place in Athens, China Wok) and be prepared to laugh your proverbial butt off.
Funniest movie in YEARS.
You'll thank me tomorrow, as you'll have something good to remember as you freeze in the swamp and watch what should be a terrible football game.

With all the cutbacks the AJC has been doing, im surprised they didnt just make u watch the game on TV. Seems like alot of trouble to go to for a team that is going to miss the playoffs anyways. Your a trooper tho Jeff.

Jeff: Hilarious blog, fabulous stuff. You may be underutilized in the "toy department" (isn't that what the old-timers called Sports?). It is so good and so funny I am making my wife, who could care less about the Falcons, read it.
If you run into John Candy on the train, let us know. We've been missing that boy for a while…

Then I don't know what to recommend for your needed decompression time before tomorrow's miserableness (both in weather and play).
Umm… the WWE is on at 2100 on NBC with their yearly trek to Iraq to do some fake 'rasslin' for the troops.
If you haven't seen the new Star Trek, that one was really good, too. You have the look of a sci fi guy, even if you're a sports guy.

Jeff, Great blog. Check the hotels in New Jersey. You might see Tiger with one of his Barbie dolls. Does AJC expect you to expense ur hotel bills or would you be sleeping at the train station?/?
Ugly game tomorrow. Did you pick the game? I must have missed ur Thursday article. Aight, heading out to see Avatar.

Drastic Internet Changes Mean Success For Some Businesses And Failure For Others.
Mysterious web addresses like .guru, .events, .club and hundreds others are flooding the Internet Highway. Internet address extensions like .com .net .org and .gov are being joined, some say challenged by new Generic Top Level Domains aka GTLD domains. Once relegated to just a few choices entrepreneurs , startups, and existing businesses can now be creative with their web address.
Drastic changes are happening to the Internet daily and they would be happening faster save for an underwhelming amount of marketing by the principles involved in progressing the introduction of new GTLD based web addresses to the internet in this authors opinion. The good news for business owners is that most businesses including their competitors have no clue about the new GTLDs and the dramatic effect that GTLD domains will have on the success or failure of their business. "Now is the time for business owners to act and get a head start on the competition" says Scott Alliy President of Dotsperity.com a Digital Marketing and consulting firm and of KetMo.com a domain name reseller. If you want to grow and protect your Internet business you should seek immediate assistance from a digital marketing expert" says Scott.
So just how did the dramatic shift in how we are and will use the internet occur? The whole shift is supposedly based on market complaints about a dwindling supply of dotcom domain names and an outcry for more domain names to use for their business or internet project both debatable reasons. The expansion of available domain extensions and thus a wider selection of domain names to be used for web addresses of new and existing businesses was started by ICANN the internets governing body who began to give serious consideration to the expansion effort in 2005. In 2012 the dream of a vastly expanded Internet address pool become a reality as multiple companies applied for the rights to oversee and distribute domain names to end users based on new GTLD extensions like .guru, .Builder, .Webcam, and other extensions including well known brands as .canon and even off the wall extensions like .xyz.
In October 2013 the first of hundreds of approved applicants began launching their new extension by offering pre registration then general availability of domain names built on their extension to the public. To date over 300 new GTLDs are live and available to purchase and hundreds more have been approved and delegated and will be launching in the coming months.
Some popular names remain frozen in contention auction or due to public input causing the governing body to consider the implications of approving the specific extensions in question for public release.
The effect of the release of over 1900 new GTLD extensions and all millions of new domain names that will be purchased and activated is starting to be felt and will only grow. Those businesses that grasp what is going on will take advantage of the trade winds and sail to greater heights. Those businesses that fail to grasp and take advantage of the dramatic changes sweeping the internet now and over the coming years will join the legions of internet business that have failed before them.
Gone are the days of hiring third world talent to write endless content in a vein attempt to draw search robots attention and gain top ranking says Scott. The new world internet order will require swift strategic decision making and a return to old fashion role your sleeves up and get creative marketing using social media, word of mouth, strategic ad placements, and customer incentives.
From a domain investors standpoint more domain name extension choices mean sharpening the pencil and stepping up the research to determine what extensions will be boom and which will bust and then choosing prime addresses likely to be of high interest to well financed premium domain buyers.
Business owners will have a much more difficult task says Scott as they seek to understand what names have been released, what names will be released and which domain names and extensions they should own to build grow and protect their business from competition.
The ripples soon to be a high tide of change reach far outside investors and business owners however. Search engines and the entire SEO industry will face incredible challenges dealing with the new crowded Internet highway. "If you think getting top 3 listings on prime keywords relating to your business products or services now just imagine the chaos and challenge as thousands more websites and businesses built upon new GTLD domains vie for the same three search ranking spots" says Scott.
That is why the team of expert digital marketing consultants highly recommend and strongly suggest that businesses that wish to thrive even survive the coming chaos and landslide of new web addresses acquire one or more memorable, meaningful keyword rich domain names and begin immediately to use them in their marketing efforts to raise awareness and attract target customers for their business and its products and services.
Business owners that succeed in the new GTLD based internet will be the ones that are armed with the tips tricks and secrets they will need to get noticed, build a loyal and repeat customer base. We created Dotsperity.com specifically to help provide knowledge advice and direction to confused business owners and to help them deal with the many challenges they will face in the new Internet world order says Scott.

After going 2-3 in nonleague games, many local pundits quit talking about the Patterson High football team as Western Athletic Conference title contenders.
All the Tigers did then was win four of their last five games, including a 26-6 triumph Friday, Nov. 13, over visiting Hilmar to clinch second place in the WAC. They head into the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs riding as high as a 6-4 team can get.
"We know that we're better than a third-place team," Cozart said. "Going into our game against Livingston (Oct. 30), everybody thought that the winner of that game was going to take third.
"We wanted to prove everybody wrong."
The Tigers have since embraced their "dark horse" identity and talked about finishing strong, knowing the season doesn't end in October.
"This whole season, (some newspapers) have been talking bad about us," Patterson senior tight end Jacob Priester said. "They've been saying that we don't stand a chance against most of the teams we've gone against.
"We saw an opportunity to feed off of what others think. We've turned it into fuel for us. If nobody thinks we can win, that's fine. It doesn't affect us at all."
Playoff brackets were scheduled to be announced on Saturday, Nov. 14.
"The playoffs give us the perfect opportunity to prove everybody wrong once and for all," Priester said. "We want to show everybody what the dark horse is all about."
It didn't take long for the Tigers to get going on Friday.
Patterson took the game's opening possession 74 yards on seven plays, and Wyatt Young capped the drive off with a zig-zagging 5-yard touchdown run.
It took the Tigers just two plays to find the end zone on their next drive. Patterson quarterback Cody Weinzheimer spotted Priester up the right sideline, connecting on an 85-yard touchdown.
"(Hilmar) is the team that we've been waiting to see all year," Cozart said. "To show up in Week 10 the way we did means that we are clicking at the right time."
Hilmar sophomore quarterback Andrew Olson struggled in his varsity debut. Olson — replacing starter Quinton McCown, who was lost the week before to a broken collarbone — never seemed to get the Yellowjackets' spread offense going.
Credit the Tigers' defense, who forced the Yellowjackets (8-2 overall, 3-2 WAC) to punt five times in the first half alone.
"The defense was there for us," Cozart said. "We pressured when we had a chance. We knocked balls down when we had a chance. We forced turnovers when we had a chance. It was an all-around effort."
Nathan Shelton followed a Nick Ward block 52 yards to the end zone to put the Tigers up 19-0 at halftime.
Weinzheimer kept the Tigers rolling in the third quarter, hitting Young with an 8-yard touchdown strike.
Hilmar, meanwhile, missed on a pair of long field goal attempts, only breaking up Patterson's shutout when Olson scored on a 1-yard run with 20 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.
No matter. The Tigers were content to run out the clock and claim the victory for their senior players in their final home game.
"This win makes the season feel so much better," Priester said. "To beat (Hilmar) on Senior Night, and to have the kind of night that we had — it is a good way to end a rivalry."
Junior varsity
The JV Tigers completed a near-perfect season by defeating rival Hilmar 21-7. The win capped a 4-1 league campaign for the Tigers, who earned a share of the WAC crown with the Yellowjackets.
It's the first league title for the Tigers' JV team in five seasons.
"I wouldn't have wanted to do this with another group of guys," Patterson coach Steve Cardoso said. "These players sacrificed a lot of blood, sweat and tears, and they played for all the right reasons."
Patterson (9-1 overall) didn't get off to its best start. The Tigers failed to score in the first half and looked flustered on offense.
Hilmar, meanwhile, got on the scoreboard first, punching in a 1-yard TD run for the 7-0 advantage.
The second half was all Patterson, however.
Tigers quarterback Brian Todd steamrolled his way to the end zone, blasting his way through the heart of Hilmar's defense for a 33-yard touchdown run.
Hilmar's attempt to answer was stopped short when Patterson safety Kendrick Trotter snared an interception to halt the drive.
"Our coach told us that this game was going to come down to heart," Trotter said. "We weren't about to lose this game. We wanted to be champions."
Patterson back Robert Marroquin added a 9-yard touchdown run later in the third quarter. Teammate George Garcia followed blockers through to the end zone, tacking on a 2-point conversion.
"This team is all about execution, taking advantage of opportunities and showing a lot of heart," Patterson's Frankie Sanchez said. "We came in mentally focused, and we weren't playing around."
Garcia added a 1-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. And Daniel Saldivar sealed the victory for the Tigers, forcing and then recovering a Hilmar fumble with less than 2 minutes to play.
"These players have a resiliency and a tenacity about them," Cardoso said. "There's no quit in these guys."
Cardoso said the future Patterson's football program looks bright.
"These players have the talent and the desire to be successful," he added. "They come out and they refuse to lose.
"You can't teach that."

The Tucson Food Bank says it's about 1.3 million pounds lighter than it was at this time last year.
Food donations are down and demand has increased.
"Our demand is up about 6%," says Jack Parris, the public relations manager for the Community Food Bank.
That translates into about 9,000 more families looking for assistance.
And in the summer months, things will get worse.
"We do okay during the fall months and for the rest of the year we don't do that well," Parris says. "So summer months are really tough for us."
The food bank provides food for 32,000 families of month.
Things are equally tough, if not a bit more so, for the Vail Community Food Pantry.
It was started just 15 months ago to fill a growing need in the small town Southeast of Tucson.
"Our demand is getting bigger and our supply is getting smaller," says Tony Lawless, the director of the food bank.
As of last Saturday, there were only two cans of food on the shelves in the rented space which serves as a storeroom.
But a food drive on Saturday, brought in about 10,000 pounds in three and a half hours.
"That might get us through a few weeks," says Lawless.
But the pantry is having a hard time keeping up.
It relies solely on the charity of churches, schools and public donations. Sometimes that can be hit or miss.
"We're going to need some help," he says. I'd like to hook up with some of the bigger agencies."
Word of mouth has spread rapidly and he now hands out more than a hundred bags of food a week.
"I've lived here a longtime and people here are proud and don't like to ask for help even if they need it," he says.
But as the economy falters, more people are asking.
"We don't like to turn people away but its gotten to the point where we don't have anything to provide," Lawless says. "We will give until we have our last loaf of bread, we will give it to whomever asks for it."
The Vail Community Food Pantry lives month to month, trying not only to feed people, but to pay rent.
"We're broke on the second of every month because on the first we pay our bills,' he says. "So far we've been lucky."

How to Exclude a Group From the Groups Loop
Is there any way to exclude a group from the loop? I don't see anything in the documentation. I can't make it hidden or private because I'm using the group as a shell for a global forum. (Each member is automatically added to this group at registration) … so it's always floating to the top as the most popular group since it has the most members. I tried using &exclude= and it doesn't do anything. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

County asked to cut Blaine's growth area
County planning commissioner and local shellfish booster Geoff Menzies is asking the county to trim the Blaine Urban Growth Area (UGA).
"All I'm asking is for a review of the Blaine UGA," Menzies said. "It's always been an excessively large UGA." County planner Sylvia Goodwin confirmed that Menzies had submitted an application for an amendment to the county comprehensive plan asking for a reduction in size for the Blaine UGA. "He wants to get rid of most of it," she said. Starting January 26 county council will begin to review Menzies' application as part of the annual docket of comprehensive plan amendments.
The state Growth Management Act, adopted in 1990, requires counties to designate urban growth areas "within which urban growth shall be encouraged and outside of which growth can occur only if it is not urban in nature." In establishing a UGA for each city the act directs that the county should select an area able to accommodate 20 years worth of growth and "an urban growth area may include territory that is located outside of a city only if such territory already is characterized by urban growth whether or not the urban growth area includes a city, or is adjacent to territory already characterized by urban growth."
Almost a decade ago the state Growth Management Hearings Board (GMHB) agreed with Menzies' position that Blaine's UGA was too big, describing it as "incredibly oversized." In a 1996 decision finding the UGA invalid, the board pointed specifically to the land outside city limits on the south side of Drayton Harbor and the east Blaine aquifer recharge areas as areas unlikely to be urbanized and inappropriate in the UGA. Whatcom County and the city of Blaine eventually got the UGA through by taking the GMHB decision to Superior Court, where a judge issued an order lifting the board's determinations of invalidity in 1998.
Menzies said he isn't trying to dredge up the issue of the legal validity of Blaine's UGA, but thinks the county should look at the logic. "A preliminary survey of buildable lands shows Blaine can handle projected growth requirements for the next 20 years within the city limits," he said. If urban development seeps out to sensitive areas, such as the area along south Drayton Harbor, Menzies feels it will have a permanent impact on water quality and the ability to harvest healthy shellfish from the harbor. "The two aren't really compatible. Shellfish growing and cities don't usually go together," he said. "If you urbanize that area it will be difficult to ever fully restore Drayton Harbor."
His proposal is to "remove significant critical areas, including wetlands, aquifer recharge areas, steep bluff and geologically hazardous areas" from the Blaine UGA, reverting their zoning to rural five and ten acre parcels.
Menzies is proposing the land west of Semiahmoo, the land south of Drayton Harbor including the Loomis Trail golf course area, and the aquifer recharge area west of Blaine be removed from the UGA. "Basically everything outside the city limits," Goodwin said, with the exception of a strip of land along Odell Road. The Blaine UGA is 3,318 acres and in his application Menzies said his proposal would affect 500 of those acres. However, Goodwin said her calculations and reading of the application led to a much higher number. "My estimate is it would affect approximately 3,000 acres," she said.
Blaine city manager Gary Tomsic said he had not seen the Menzies application and city staff would be meeting with county planners this week to get a better idea of what was being proposed. "I think it would have been appropriate as a courtesy if Geoff Menzies would have let us know," he said. "I'm unaware of all he's proposing but I think we share some of the same concerns for the South Drayton Harbor area."
On January 26, 20 comprehensive plan amendments will be introduced to county council, including that submitted by Menzies, and forwarded to either the natural resources or planning subcommittees. On February 8 council will hear committee recommendations on which items should go forward for full review and set the docket for the year. The full comprehensive plan amendment process would include staff analysis, public hearings and is expected to take most of the year.

I hope she gets home okay. It's a very brave things she's doing and certainly a significant historic moment. Today's event, at the site of the first 'Bloody Sunday,' — and her laying a wreath at the monument for those who fought against British rule…well, it's just incredible, isn't it? It's something that many couldn't even ever conceive of happening.
The USA annually boast and makes a big deal of it's fighting against British rule, and dozens of other countries (like India, etc.) also had their decades and centuries of struggles: People will resist invasion.
We can call them terrorist, insurgents, revolutionaries, radicals, whatever but the core of it remains: People will resist invasion. People will resist second-class or 'third-class' citizenship. People want equal rights and justice.
Folks also want food and shelter, jobs, education, wide-screen HD TV's, cell phones and computers, etc. and I think the less hate, hostility, subversions, conflicts, warmongering and scapegoating propaganda the better off we are.
Yet, alas, crime, greed, fraud, exploitation keeps rising up like weeds so we have to cut 'em down and/or root 'em out. There ain't no 'peace,' — there's just the work of tending our garden and protecting our life; and voting for better leaders.
Britain's queen visits 'Bloody Sunday' site
Monarch makes historic and symbolic visit to Croke Park, where 14 Irish people were killed by British forces in 1920.
The incident saw 14 people, including a 10-year-old, killed by British forces when they opened fire on a crowd of thousands of spectators at a Gaelic football game in response to the murder earlier in the day of 14 undercover British agents.
On Tuesday she laid a wreath in honour of those who died fighting for Irish freedom from Britain, bowing her head in respect at the Garden of Remembrance.

With the start of the season just around the corner, a title contender dealt its third-best player, netting a lot of future value in the process.
Numbers Game looks at the deal sending James Harden to the Rockets, with Kevin Martin heading to Oklahoma City.
The Rockets Get: SG James Harden, SG Daequan Cook, C Cole Aldrich and SF Lazar Hayward.
Harden, 23, has rapidly ascended in his first three seasons in the NBA, making the U.S. Olympic Team this summer, coming off a year in which he was named the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year, after averaging 16.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.
What's most impressive about Harden's production is the efficiency with which he does it. As the third option behind Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook in Oklahoma City, Harden put up those numbers with only 10.7 field goal attempts per game, leaving him with a True Shooting Percentage of 66.0%, best among all players that had at least 400 attempts from the field.
In Houston, Harden becomes the primary offensive option, which will probably cut into his efficiency, but will crank up his per-game production. On a team that already gutted much of its roster (losing Luis Scola, Martin, Kyle Lowry, Courtney Lee and Goran Dragic) in the hopes of landing Dwight Howard in the offseason, the Rockets don't return a player that had more field goal attempts per game than SF Chandler Parsons, at 8.7 per game.
With a starting job available to him, Harden may see an uptick in the 31.4 minutes per game he played last season, but he seems assured of getting more looks at the offensive end. If he embraces the lead scorer role for Houston, Harden might get 16-17 attempts per game and while it's unlikely that he's as efficient as he was in 2011-2012, he could be ready to jump to 20 points per game for the Rockets.
Harden was set to become a restricted free agent at the end of the season and was unable to work out an agreement on an extension with Oklahoma City, prompting the move. Houston is reportedly set to ink Harden to a max money extension, potentially something in the neighbourhood of five years and $80-million.
Daequan Cook is a 25-year-old swingman who started a career-high 22 games last season, though he averaged a modest 17.4 minutes per game (5.5 ppg, 2.1 rpg, 1.4 three-pointers per game). Cook takes the majority of his shots from beyond the arc (4.0 of 5.2 per game, 76.9%, last season) and could reasonably fill a spot in Houston's rotation. He's in the final year of a deal paying him a touch more than $3.09-million (www.hoopshype.com).
23-year-old Cole Aldrich has played sporadically through his first two NBA seasons, never scoring more than six points in a game and reaching double digit minutes in only six games last season. He's a 6-foot-11 centre who can block shots -- his 3.3 per 36 minutes last season ranked eighth among all NBA players -- but he played so little it's difficult to forecast that into production as a regular in the rotation.
Aldrich makes $2.445-million this season and the Rockets have a team option for 2012-2013. If he somehow develops into a rotation player, then he would be relatively inexpensive at #3.245M but, if not, it's easy enough to let him walk.
Hayward, 25, has played a total of 560 minutes in 68 games over his two NBA seasons. He barely saw action with the Thunder last season, but did score in double figures four times for Minnesota in 2010-2011. Like Aldrich, the Rockets hold a team option on him for next season and unless he takes a quantum leap ahead this season, it would seem unlikely that Hayward has that option picked up.
The Thunder Get: SG Kevin Martin, SG Jeremy Lamb, two first-round picks and a second-round pick.
Martin, 29, has been a productive scorer for much of his NBA career, averaging at least 20 points per game for five straight seasons prior to last year's 17.1 points per game. While Martin has been an offensive focal point, for the most part, he won't have that role in Oklahoma City where, even if (unlike Harden) Martin starts, he's going to be the number three option behind Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
Though Martin can score, he doesn't offer much else. His rebounding and defence aren't necessarily championship-calibre, so the Thunder will need to accomodate for some of his shortcomings, in addition to benefitting from his ability to shoot. Martin is in the last year of a deal that pays him #12.939-million.
A skinny swingman who has ace defensive potential, 20-year-old Jeremy Lamb was the 12th overall pick in the 2012 draft. He averaged 6.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, while shooting 38.2% from the field in six preseason contests, so he's not yet ready for primetime, least of all for a team that harbours championship aspirations. However, as a long-term asset, Lamb could eventually become a starter in Okllahoma City.
The first-round picks come to Oklahoma City via Houston. The first belonged originally to the Toronto Raptors and it is unusually lottery-protected, meaning that it will go to the Thunder if the pick falls in the lottery, but outside the top three picks next season, the top two picks the next two years and the top pick in 2016. Even if it turns out to be a late lottery selection, that can net the Thunder a pretty good player.
The other first-round pick belonged to the Los Angeles Lakers, so that one seems much more likely to fall in the late stages of the first round, when the draft becomes even more risk-laden. The second-round pick was property of the Boston Celtics. Again, that seems like it will most likely occur late in the second round, so not huge value, but okay as the fifth assset the Thunder acquired to make this trade.
There's no arguing the long-term value that the Thunder acquired in this deal. Even if the last couple picks don't pan out, Martin's expiring contract, Lamb's potential and the pick that must fall in the lottery all provide potential long-term value for Oklahoma City, perhaps even more than they would have received by holding on to Harden.
However, in the short-term, the Thunder appear to be taking a step back -- maybe not a big one, maybe not even a full one -- but as a finalist last year, they were already facing a daunting challenge from the re-loaded Lakers in the Western Conference this season and not having their third-best player could make the difference.
That they secured long-term value for a player that might have only been around for one more year makes all kinds of sense for the Thunder, but if they don't get over the championship hump in the next couple seasons, it will get more difficult to justify the risk of dealing a rising star who gave Oklahoma City a legitimate shot at the 2013 NBA Championship.

Cajoling, Drugging and More as Rebels Try to Draw Defectors | The New York Times
By Kareem Fahim
ANTAKYA, Turkey — For months, the disparate militias known as the Free Syrian Army relied on defections from the Syrian military to lead a credible if halting challenge to the government of President Bashar al-Assad. Every day seemed to bring word of new recruits. Soldiers fled in packs, or officers stole across a border, lifting the rebels' morale while swelling their ranks.
