Balcones Fault Line in Texas

Just went back & read this thread over again >> slow & thorough + looked at the SMU link, studied it good too...
Man, this is some really freaky stuff here being talked about ... am now realizing even more than ever how the shale fracking process is actually more like the evil forces at work while pretending to benefit humanity with 'new' forms of energy production. But what they are really doing is creating means by which to bring about the total destruction of our natural world in every way possible = kill mother earth = kill the divine creation YIKES!
And the destructive fracking = fissuring & creating crevices far deep down below the soil is in itself like lighting the fuse to something that could truly result in creating vast shifting and literally split places apart, trigger things in ways that could really be vast disasters beyond any remediation ... how are we to know !??!
Also consider how each well can have hundreds of cracks going ever which-a-way for miles and also extending deeper into lower levels of strata + actually change the flow of groundwater into areas like uranium rock. In places west of Dallas where most all the drilling in that region is ongoing, the water wells are showing up with RADIOACTIVE WATER [do search keywords: radioactive wells texas" = on google or bing ) + there are spills from all the tanker trucks and site leaks and it is totally crazy stuff happening:
Barnett Shale Radioactive Waste is Carcinogenic and has a 1,622 Year Half-Life
link to www.texaskaos.net
Then there's all the raw methane that's being released into the soil itself underground then bubbling up into rivers & lakes, stock tanks + the local atmosphere [[the air we all breath to stay *ALIVE*]] due to leakage along pipes, @ drill sites & processing plants ( springing up like weeds all over the countryside).
Not only here but these things happening in other states too, of course. The local news in DFW reports recently that CHINA has already been allowed to buy much of the drilling rights across the entire southern half of Texas and now they been meeting in Fort Worth in past month to make deals around that area of DFW for gaining a foothold in the region of Barnett Shale - west of Dallas (HOLY SH!T !! ]]
Let me get this right: not only the O on the throne but also Congress & Texas Gov Perry & all their cohorts are in cahoots for letting one of the U.S. sworn enemies who is against all human rights and freedom (= Communist China government = military), to come in to this nation & gain control over the resources on & in our lands to obtain desired products = gas that is being extracted via methods that are or will eventually sicken/kill-off the American citizens. Meanwhile, the Chinese will use this gas or sell / give it to whomever they please ,,,, omg!
And then there's what they're also doing to our water -- injecting the poison sludge water down into ground not only here in Texas but secretly buying up land in surrounding states and trucking it to hidden, illegal, injections wells to offload it into local water streams deep underground ... ugghhhhh, felt sudden shudder of cold chills go down spine; GOD HELP US ! lookin' that we all be up sh!t creek fer sure!
Wow, more very important info, thanks Topaz!
Ok, first . . .
Yes, fracking is something that many people don't know about or understand. But I strongly advise everyone, especially residents of the DFW metro area, specifically those in Tarrant county, to read, read, read and learn about fracking and gas drilling.
Now we add to this the Balcones, which has been inactive, but . . . ??
On the issue of methane, did you hear about the property owners out in Parker County who had the EPA come out - they found that the water coming from their garden hoses is FLAMMABLE! How common might that be around the area, and people are not aware of it? Very disturbing!
I did NOT know about the China deal . . . everyone should know more about this.
Yes. We have been sold out. Big time.

After a disastrous weekend when grosses dipped to half of last year's, two new releases and one strong holdover continued the Thursday Valentine's Day rebound. The Top Ten total is close to the 2012 sum. Three of the week's four new films premiered a day earlier. All three fell off their initial numbers, though, suggesting that the recovery is not complete, even for just one weekend. Fox's "A Good Day to Die Hard" and Relativity's "Safe Haven" were one-two for the day, flipping their positions (possibly not for the last time), both grossing a bit over $7 million. Close on their heels was Universal's "Identity Thief," down around 40% from last Friday, and likely to have a better hold for the whole weekend. Warner Bros.' "Beautiful Creatures" (in its second day) and Weinstein's debuting animated "Escape from Planet Earth" lagged behind. The former only placed sixth for the day, clearly losing the. »

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Bill Belichick is a taskmaster as coach of the New England Patriots. No one has to tell him that.
And after demolishing the Denver Broncos, 45-10, Saturday night at Gillette Stadium, advancing to the AFC title game next Sunday, Belichick acknowledged that he isn't the easiest of people to get along with in his pursuit of perfection on the field.
"We'll enjoy this one for a little while and then we'll find out who we have in the AFC Championship," said Belichick, whose Patriots will play the winner of Sunday's Baltimore-Houston matchup.
"But it's an honor to be in that game. It's been a lot of hard work this year, but I'm really happy for the players. I'm really excited for them. They deserved it. They worked hard. They've put up with me, so they deserve this," said Belichick after New England had snapped a three-game postseason losing streak.
The effort that overwhelmed the Broncos featured contributions from every phase of the game.
"I just can't say enough about the players today," said Belichick. "They obviously did a great job. We had a good week (of work) in the bye week (leading up to the Denver game). We got a lot of things done. And once we found out who we were playing, I think these guys really did a good job of focusing on the target and they were obviously ready to go today. They stepped up and they made a lot of big plays throughout the game for 60 minutes. It was a good, solid team effort."
Belichick said the losses in the team's last three playoff games had no bearing on Saturday's night performance.
"That's all we care about is this game," said Belichick. "There's nothing we can do about (the past). Look, we've won games around here and we've lost them, but all of that is in the books. There's nothing we can do about any of those. All we can focus on is this week. I think the team went out there and practiced well, prepared well and played well and that's all we can do.
"And that's all we can do next week -- just go out there and get started on whoever we play . . . have a good week of preparation, practice, film study and so forth and be ready to play our best game in the AFC Championship. We're going to be playing another great football team, whoever it is, and we're going to have to play well. We really don't care about what happened in the past. There's nothing you can do about it," he said.

(Kenny walks in as Spike and Lynda are about to kiss)
Kenny: Lynda, I was...
Lynda: We were just...I was only...
Spike: Yeah, neither was I.
Kenny: (Looks down on his paper) Oh, there it is. (Leaves)
Spike: For a moment, I thought that was Charlotte.
Lynda: What if it had been Charlotte?
Spike: Well, if this kiss with you doesn't work out, I don't wanna blow my chances with her.
Lynda: I don't believe this; our first kiss, and you've got a backup in case I fail it.
Spike: Which I'm sure you're not going to do.
Lynda: Right.(Walks away)
Spike: Does this mean I don't get my kiss now?
Lynda: Spike, I'd rather fail all my school exams, be unable to get a job, wander the streets destitute with a bottle, and be found dead of hypothermia on a riverbank!
Spike: Flirt!
Spike: Now you know the main reason you locked this door was to stop me going out with Charlotte tonight.
Lynda: And the main reason you brought Charlotte by the newsroom, was to make me jealous. Don't you think she's just a bit obvious?
Spike: That was one of the first things I noticed, yeah.
Lynda: But you still fancy her rotten, right?
Spike: Well, have you seen the way she looks? I'd go out with just the dress.
Lynda: Pacing the cage, tiger?
Spike: Uh, no, I'm just a little tired. You know, I'm not used to being up this late without loud music and a peer group.
Lynda: Peer group available.
Spike: They're not playing my song.
Charlotte: Spike, are we going to spend all night with these kids?
Lynda: Charlotte, are you sure that chair's quite comfortable enough for you?
Charlotte: It's fine, thank you.
Lynda: Oh, well maybe your face always looks like that.
Lynda: Where are you going?
Spike: Eh, to a party, actually.
Lynda: Well I'm not coming.
Spike: The reason you're not coming, Lynda, is because I'm not asking you.
Lynda: You always ask me. Everytime you go to a party, you ask me. Give me one reason this time why you wouldn't ask me.
(A beautiful woman walks up behind Spike)
Charlotte: Can we go now, Spike?
Spike: Ah, yeah. Charlotte, this is Lynda. Lynda, Charlotte...Charlotte is a student at the college, studying particle physics, aren't you Charlotte... Ah, Lynda is editor of the Junior Gazette. Aren't you, Lynda?...Yeah, well, I'm glad that's all cleared up.
Lynda: You're only here to make fun, aren't you. You're only her to slang around and make lots of stupid comments.
Spike: That was just a lucky guess.
Lynda: You wear those glasses at night?
Spike: It's night-time? Somebody could have told me.
Lynda: What do you want, Spike?
Spike: Oh, nothing. Just looking.
Lynda: Well, couldn't you look somewhere else?
Spike: I'm finding it difficult. Nice pyjamas, Lynda, but I prefer your other ones.
Lynda: You've never seen my other pyjamas. (Shouts) He's never seen my other pyjamas!
Spike: I've seen everything you wear, Lynda. I've got pictures of your clothesline.
(Kenny told everyone to come in to work)
Lynda: Everyone?!
Kenny: Yeah, why what's wrong?
Lynda: What's wrong? You idiot. What's wrong?! I've got to change into something!
Kenny: Into what?
Lynda: I don't know. Something.
Kenny: Why?
Lynda: Why?! Kenny, I'm still in my pyjamas!
(The door opens)
Spike: Well, Lynda. Pyjamas! How did you know I was coming?
(Colin walks by with a saw)
Kenny: Colin?
Colin: Look Lynda, I found this dangerous saw. It was in one of the old storage cupboards. I'd better go and put it somewhere safe...(Item falls from his jacket)and the hatchet... and the screwdriver... and that hammer.(Picks items up and runs away)
Lynda: Is there something going on we don't know about?
Kenny: Usually.

Grayscale opened on Friday and the work is up through August 6th at Postmasters Gallery, 54 Franklin Street in TriBeca.
As you may have heard, Jennifer Dalton and I are collaborating on a project called MONTH2MONTH, taking place in two private apartments, one "luxury" housing setting and one "affordable" apartment. Four nights a week for the month of May we will be hosting events, performances and discussions in the apartments on the themes of housing affordability, inequality, race, class, private property, gentrification, displacement, and other reasons living is precarious in NYC. We also held a public lottery for people to stay for free in each of the apartments for 4 days at a time. We are asking the winners to participate in the two events that happen during their stay in the apartments. So it's sort of like an art residency, and sort of like an Air bnb, and sort of like pandas at the zoo (the events will all be livestreamed).
In order to present a broad a range of events from serious discussions to satirical or uncomfortable performances to other things we haven't yet imagined, we are currently soliciting proposals for events in these apartments through an open call. Please send us ideas if there's something you'd like to do, and/or share this with anyone else you know who may be interested in participating.
Events should be no longer than 90 minutes in duration and will take place May 28 through 31 (Memorial Day Weekend) between 6-8pm.
William and Jennifer
PS Read more about the project in CityLab and Brooklyn Magazine
Democracy presents us with choices, and based on his campaign platform to address wealth and income inequality that could fund programs to support more Americans, I'm voting for Bernie Sanders in the New York State primary. What are the issues that will inform your choice? Make sure you're registered at canivote.org
These participatory drawings were commissioned by Spring/Break co-founders Andrew Gori and Ambre Kelly for their #BernNYBern rally in the spirit of engaging in democratic dialog about the differences and similarities of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders' campaigns. No matter who wins the Democratic Primary, we should all be aware of were the candidates stand on the issues that matter most to us. Not voting in November because your candidate didn't win the primary is definitely not an option in the face of the Republican candidates. We can't afford four years of destructive and regressive Republican policies, or whatever insane free-market nonsense Donald Trump continues to sell to undereducated Americans motivated by fear of difference and social progress. Please keep an open mind and show the rest of the country that New York Democrats will be coming out to vote in droves.
I'm pleased to announce a new collaboration with Jennifer Dalton called MONTH2MONTH, a public art project set in private residences in New York City produced by MoreArt. The project is an unorthodox framework for discussing the limited access to affordable housing through public lotteries tied to private development. As a public art project, the audience is structurally limited by the sites, two apartments in Manhattan that symbolize luxury and affordability. This restricted access reflects part of our larger questions, "Is housing a right or privilege?" and "Is private property OK?" The public is invited to apply for a free, four-night stay through a lottery as long as the applicants agree to participate in two public events during their stay. We've organized a series of live events, discussions, and performances with an amazing group of artists, activists, performers, and educators to open up these private spaces to a public inquiry into the social, economic, and political dimensions of housing in New York City. Please visit www.month2month.nyc for more information about the project including applying for a stay or hosting an event through our open call.
Support the 7th Annual Smack Mellon Kentucky Derby Party and Art Auction Sunday May 7th. Buy a ticket now and you might *win* this drawing.

J. Michael of CSN Washington: The Wizards appear to have their man in Al Harrington, but he still must pass a physical and it likely won't be made official until Wednesday. Harrington, recently released by the Orlando Magic after a staph infection in his right knee only allowed him to play 10 games last season, is in Washington and intends to sign here as a free agent, several persons with knowledge of the situation told CSN Washington. It'll be a one-year deal at the veteran minimum of $1.4 million. … Harrington's signing would give the Wizards the maximum 15 players allowed under contract with training camp looming Sept. 28. His ability to play all three post positions make him an extremely valuable piece for Washington, which has had trouble finding scoring in the paint and finding a "stretch" post option to run the pick-and-roll with John Wall.
Tim Bontemps of the New York Post: For the third time in less than two years, he (Brook Lopez) needed surgery on his right foot, this time to replace a screw inserted in an earlier procedure that had bent. "I think I was more disappointed than anything," Lopez told The Post yesterday. "I wasn't concerned. I was disappointed, but it was best to do it when we did it, in the week after the season, to give myself the most time to get back in shape and to get ready for the season." … "I feel great," Lopez said. "I have been getting in some weight lifting, getting shots up and everything is going well. I'm not fully working out. I'm not jumping or running or anything like that, but we have a good month-and-a-half just until training camp starts, so we'll definitely be all right by then." Being in a walking boot for the past couple of months did not deter Lopez from a busy travel schedule. After going on a cruise with his family around Europe, he headed to Africa this month on a trip organized by the Clinton Foundation. He visited Malawi, Zambia, Tanzania and Rwanda and spent time with former President Clinton. Lopez, an avid traveler, said he had never been to Africa, but had always hoped to go.
Mike Tokito of The Oregonian: On Tuesday, in a sign of changing times, the Trail Blazers announced that after 18 up-and-down years since its opening, the team's home arena will indeed carry a paid-for moniker: the Moda Center. Moda Health -- a health and dental insurance company that operates in Oregon,Washington and Alaska and started as Oregon Dental Service in 1955 -- agreed to a 10-year contract. Terms were not disclosed, but the total value of the deal is believed to be about $40 million. "Moda Health's investment will allow us to enhance virtually every aspect of the fan experience," Blazers owner Paul Allen said, responding to e-mailed questions from The Oregonian. "Yes, there are certain economics at play, but only the name on the building has changed and not the spirit of the fans or the feeling of being in the Rose Quarter. Moda Health and the Trail Blazers share the same goal: making the arena and the Rose Quarter a great place to enjoy basketball, concerts or other community events." The Blazers had been one of four teams in the 30-team NBA that played in an arena without a naming-rights deal, along with New York's Madison Square Garden, the Palace of Auburn Hills near Detroit and the New Orleans Arena. The New Orleans Pelicans are actively shopping their arena naming rights.
Bob Ford of The Philadelphia Inquirer: The game is called "Beat Sam Brown," and it is a staple of practice sessions for the San Antonio Spurs. It is a shooting game, but not an easy one even for an NBA player to win. A contestant must shoot from the five standard stations behind the three-point line: the two corners, the two wing positions and the top of the free-throw circle. He gets to shoot at each of the stations until he makes one, and then can keep shooting at that station until he misses. Then he moves on to the next and the next. Add up the number of baskets after all five stations and if you made more than 20 shots, you did, indeed, Beat Sam Brown. Some of the newer Spurs don't even know what that means. They think it's just the name of the game. That's because they weren't at practice the day assistant coach Brett Brown let his son, Sam, do the shooting drill after the Spurs had left the court. Sam, the youngest of Brown's three children, made exactly 20 shots from behind the NBA three-point line that day. He did it three years ago. . . when he was 8. I'm not exactly sure what that story tells us about Brett Brown, the new head coach of the 76ers, but I really like it. It probably means his reputation as a shot doctor and teacher of basketball fundamentals is accurate. What it also indicates, however, is that Brown is a good guy to play for, and a coach players want to please. Otherwise, Sam Brown wouldn't have found that much joy in shooting a basketball, because anyone who ever shared space with an 8-year-old knows they generally only do what makes them happy.
Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel: With most of the major personnel work accomplished this offseason, the Miami Heat have moved on to smaller matters, with it confirmed Tuesday to the Sun Sentinel that summer-league forward Eric Griffin will return to the team for training camp. Griffin, who appeared in both the Orlando and Las Vegas summer leagues for the Heat, went undrafted out of Campbell University in 2012, spending last season with a second-tier team in Italy. The 6-foot-8 former All-Big South selection is from Orlando, where he attended Boone High School. He becomes the second player from the Heat's summer-league team committed to training camp, which opens Oct. 1. Center Jarvis Varnado, who holds a contract that does not become partially guaranteed until opening night, is the other.
Kevin Nielson of Sportsnet.ca: On Monday, we brought you video of 50-year-old Michael Jordan showing his campers that he could still get above the rim. Not to be outdone, a video was posted Tuesday of 63-year-old Julius Erving throwing down a dunk of his own. Again, it's not classic Dr. J but it's still impressive to see the Hall of Famer climb above the rim as he approaches retirement age.
Jill Painter of the Los Angeles Daily News: Jasmine shook Farmar's hand and smiled a lot. You wouldn't blame her if she was disappointed. The Lomita resident should be starting sixth grade with her friends. But she's done chemotherapy once a week over the last 44 weeks. She told Farmar that she was having her last chemotherapy treatment that day. When she got up from her hospital bed and put her arm around Farmar for a picture, she told him she was kind of dizzy. ``That's OK,'' Farmar assured her. ``You can lean on me.'' It was a touching moment between two strangers brought together by sports, a dreaded disease and good will. Faulk is due for an MRI in September, according to her mom, Caroline Faulk and to return home in a few days. ``Congratulations,'' Farmar told her. ``That's good news. You're pretty brave.'' It's a visit like this that puts sports in perspective. All the prognosticators have the Lakers headed for a woeful season and maybe missing the playoffs with the loss of Dwight Howard to free agency. But the power of the Lakers in this hospital wing was as strong as those 16 NBA championship banners the Lakers own.
Mary Schmitt Boyer of The Plain Dealer: Humberto Kukhyun Choi had never heard of Anderson Varejao until 10 days ago. "But now I know,'' said Choi, a pulmonary and critical care doctor at the Cleveland Clinic. Choi dropped off his mother, Sook Kwak, and 29-year-old brother, Victor Choi, at Cleveland Hopkins Airport on Aug. 4 for their flight back home to Brazil. What they didn't realize was that the first leg of the trip to Miami had been cancelled. Kwak and Victor Choi speak only Portuguese and Korean, and they didn't have a cell phone that worked in the United States, so they were struggling to communicate with American Airlines employees. As it happened, Varejao, on his way home to Brazil for his wedding next month, also was on the flight and was pressed into service as a translator. Not only did he help the pair get another flight, but he also helped them find a hotel room in Miami that night before their flight the next day. … In this case, one good turn really did deserve another. "What goes around comes around,'' Choi said.
Staff of the New York Post: Just in case the Knicks don't receive an invitation to meet the President anytime soon, Iman Shumpert will still get his White House fix. According to Rollingout.com, First Lady Michelle Obama will be releasing a new rap album, as part of her "Let's Move" campaign directed to fight childhood obesity, which will feature the Knicks guard performing on one of the album's 19 tracks. Shumpert, 23, joins Artie Green on the track, "Pass the Rock," which will be available for a free download starting on Sept. 30. Shumpert is considered one of the best rappers in the NBA and his song "Knicks Anthem," which was released last year, is often played at games at Madison Square Garden. In December, he released his debut mixtape, "Th3 #Post90s" under the name 2WO 1NE.
Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic: The trouble Michael Beasley has found during his NBA career can't be excused, including last week's arrest. It can be somewhat put in perspective when you learn in this report from The Washington Post that Beasley's former mentor and father figure was arrested Friday night for cocaine trafficking during a Drug Enforcement Agency year-long investigation. The Washington Post reported that Curtis Malone, the founder of the DC Assault AAU club that produced Beasley and other stars over 20 years, was caught on DEA surveillance selling a kilogram of cocaine to a customer at his house. A search of his home turned up another kilogram of cocaine, 100 grams of heroin and other drug distribution paraphernalia. Malone also was convicted of cocaine dealing in 1990.
Ryan Lillis of The Sacramento Bee: The Sacramento City Council has already shown its willingness to open its bank account for the development of a new downtown sports arena. It's now showing a willingness to go to court for the project as well. By a 7-2 vote, the Sacramento City Council agreed Tuesday night to join the Sacramento Kings in negotiating with the owner of the Macy's furniture and men's clothing store at the Downtown Plaza over the purchase of the soon-to-be vacant property. That building, situated near the eastern end of the mall at 600 K St., is needed by the Kings and the city to build a proposed $448 million arena at the mall.
Staff of the Detroit Free Press: You'd think they'd know. But the Detroit Pistons tweeted this photo Tuesday and asked: "Hmmm … why does Greg Monroe have three Pistons jerseys in his locker? Find out tomorrow!" Uh, is it an alternate jersey? No sleeves, so that's good. And it's a nice dark blue. No teal! So the real question is, what's on the front?

"My work is concerned with the interplay of dualities in my own Anglo-Turkish-Cypriot heritage, and how these can be pictorially represented by emphasising the differences between Ottoman and Baroque culture and incorporating both philosophically historic and aesthetic elements. My aim, by using montage in painting, is to give the visual coupling of mixed media and mixed cultures a presence beyond a superficial juxtaposition. Montage causes these dualities to come to the fore and be explored in a deeper analysis rooted in my dual identity."

"Giving expression to the experience of living between two worlds I am using a number of art historical references, including Luca Giordano's paintings and Ottoman miniature painting and tiles. In some sense the intention of using these sources is to bring out the polarity arising between the two cultures and to convey them by their aesthetic qualities alone. For example, where the miniatures are tonally flat and richly decorative, the Baroque figures emphasize form through chiaroscuro. For me these two worlds come together through their placement in an East-End of London context, being not only a place where I have lived and worked, but also as a place inherently expressive of a wider cultural diversity."

"I also want to show in my work the very process of making the paintings. By means of actually demonstrating the various stages of production from raw linen support to the coloured ground, and through passages painted in monochrome to the more fully finished sections, these methods are revealed to the viewer. Revealing the process of painting is also a process of cultural and personal revealing, representing the sequence of unconscious material of the images as they are brought to consciousness."

(March 17, 2014) -- In a symposium themed, "The State of Texas School Funding: 40 years After Rodriguez v. SAISD -- Progress or Peril?," the UTSA Center for Educational Leadership, Policy and Professional Development in the College of Education and Human Development will welcome Mike Moses, former Texas Commissioner of Education and former superintendent of Dallas Independent School District.
The event, which is open to the public, will begin with a reception at 5 p.m., March 18 in the Durango Building Southwest Room (1.124) at the UTSA Downtown Campus.
The symposium will take a look at school finance since the 1971 landmark case in which Demetrio Rodriguez brought a class action suit against the state of Texas, saying the system of funding schools based on property taxes denied equal protection to students in poorer school districts. He won, but the Supreme Court later struck the decision down, determining that education is not a fundamental right.
"Texas school districts continue to struggle to help all students meet established state learning standards. While many argue that schools are inefficient, one only needs to look at the cost of a private education to determine what the market believes to be the cost of a 'quality education,'" Moses said.
David Hinojosa, regional counsel for the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund and litigator for various educational inequity cases, also will keynote at the symposium. A panel of area superintendents including Kevin Brown of Alamo Heights ISD, Saul Hinojosa of Somerset ISD, Linda McAnelly of Devine ISD and David Stelmazewski of Boerne ISD will also be present.
The UTSA Center for Educational Leadership, Policy and Professional Development focuses on creating a venue for educational leaders such as teachers, administrators and school board members to grow professionally and to find ways to improve academic achievement among students.
"We want to reach out to the community more than anything else," said Julian Treviño, the center's director and a senior lecturer at UTSA.

Trail Blazers fans have long dreamed that Portland may one day welcome the best and brightest in the NBA by way of hosting an NBA All-Star Weekend. And on Thursday, the team took steps to make that dream a reality by submitting a bid to host either the 2017 or 2018 NBA All-Star Game in Rip City.
"For our fan base, it's long overdue, particularly in one of the few cities that has yet to actually host an NBA All-Star game," said Chris Oxley, General Manger of the Rose Quarter. "This, quite frankly, could be the single-most significant sporting event or event in general that the city has every had the ability to host. I think that's very meaningful in terms of Portland taking it to the next level as a host of future major events."
The theme of the bid, which was submitted to the NBA on Wednesday and entitled "We Got Next," promotes Portland as the 10th fastest growing city in the United States while noting major sportswear companies like Nike, adidas and Columbia are based in the area. The materials also call out Portland's proximity to the Pacific Ocean, Mt. Hood and the Columbia Gorge while noting over 400 wineries and 60 breweries are all within an hour's drive.
"True to being from Portland," said Oxley, "the bid is very unique, very creative and I think different that what other cities would put together."
Chris McGowan, President and CEO of the Trail Blazers, has been steadfast since taking the helm back in 2012 that bringing an All-Star Game to Portland was one of the organization's priorities.
"Consistent with what we've said from Day One is when the opportunity to bid on any available All-Star Game occurs, we'd obviously put our best foot forward and bid," said McGowan. "So we were kind of waiting until the opportunity presented itself, which happened three months ago."
Since then, the Trail Blazers and the Rose Quarter have worked with with City of Portland, Metro, the Oregon Convention Center, Travel Portland, the Oregon Sports Authority and local hotels to craft the bid and assure that the logistical challenges that hosting an NBA All-Star game poses can be met.
"The NBA is not just looking for the team to play the lead role," said Oxley. "They're looking for a cohesive unit from the host team bid community to put the right bid together. As a basketball organization, we don't have the ability to do this in and of ourselves. All of these guys are the legs on the stool to make this thing happen."
A lack of hotel rooms in a centralized location has been one of the main reasons Portland has never been seriously considered to host the All-Star Game. But with a new convention center hotel currently in the works, the one nearly insurmountable obstacle to the Trail Blazers' bid no longer exists.
"As we looked at this, it became clear to Chris (Oxley) and I that there really aren't tremendous hurdles," said McGowan. "The city is fully capable of hosting an All-Star game, the region is fully capable and we, obviously, have an arena and a campus and the Veteran's Memorial Coliseum and a Convention Center and eventually a convention center hotel all in very close proximity to each other."
But even though McGowan and Oxley feel like have a strong case with regard to bring an All-Star game to Portland, there's also a number of other teams that would argue the same.
"The only hurdle would be, I'd say, competition amongst other teams that are bidding for this," said McGowan. "We've heard there are anywhere from six to 10 other franchises bidding. Getting the NBA open-minded to coming to Portland — they've been on record saying that they would be willing to look at an All-Star Weekend in Portland."
There is no deadline for the NBA to make the decision, though McGowan said he expects to hear from the league "sometime this year." Until then, Trail Blazers fan will have to keep their fingers crossed that their All-Star dreams will finally come true.
With Portland's foray into free agency now complete, Joe Freeman, he of The Oregonian/OregonLive.com, and I, Casey Holdahl of ForwardCenter.net/TrailBlazers.com, hit the Moda Center studio to record another edition of the Rip City Report podcast, which you can listen to below…
In this almost all Twitter-submitted questions edition, we discuss the signings of Evan Turner, Festus Ezeli and Meyers Leonard, the decision to match the offer the Brooklyn Nets extended to Allen Crabbe, how the additions and returns could change lineups going forward and the notion that the Trail Blazers need to make a trade. There's also some hot Pokemon Go and "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" talk to start the show, so you might want prepare yourself to fast-forward through the first few minutes.
You can find the Rip City Report on Soundcloud, iTunes and Stitcher. And a reminder that the offseason is a great time to leave a review on iTunes!
UPDATE: The team has officially announced that they have matched the Nets' offer sheet to Allen Crabbe, though a "formal announcement" and Crabbe actually signing the contract will not occur until later in the week.
After finishing up their pursuit of new free agents, the Trail Blazers have wasted little time in turning their attention to the free agents on their own roster. After reportedly signing restricted free agent power forward Meyers Leonard to a four-year deal, the Trail Blazers, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical, have matched the four-year, $75 million offer sheet the Brooklyn Nets tendered to third-year guard/forward Allen Crabbe, ensuring that the former Cal Bear will be back in Portland next season…

The message out of Portland ownership and management is clear: Blazers trying to win this year and beyond — loading up on this roster.

As is often the case when it comes to restricted free agents, the Nets offer to Crabbe, who has averaged 7.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game through three season, was considerably larger than many assumed the 6-6 wing would receive in an effort to discourage the Trail Blazers from matching. And after the Trail Blazers signed free agent guard/forward Evan Turner to a four-year deal, some assumed that combined with the size of the Nets offer might result in Trail Blazers letting Crabbe walk.
But that would not be the case. Crabbe has been a favorite of the front office and coaching staff since the team acquired former Pac-12 Player of the Year via trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers during the 2012 Draft. And though he played sparingly in his first two seasons, he saw his minutes increase dramatically in 2015-16, as he appeared in 81 games and responded with averages of 10.8 points on 44 percent shooting and 39 percent shooting from three, 2.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists while serving as one of the team's best perimeter defenders.
There were rumors that outside of the money and years, Crabbe, who has typically come off the bench for the Trail Blazers, was intrigued by the opportunity to start and play a larger role with the Nets. But for his part, Crabbe seemed more than satisfied that he would be returning to Portland…
— Allen Crabbe (@allencrabbe) July 10, 2016
With Crabbe now signed, forward Maurice Harkless is the last Blazer still available on the free agent market. Like Crabbe, Harkless is a restricted free agent, which gives the Trail Blazers the right to match any offer he receives from another team. It is also possible for the Trail Blazers to sign Harkless even if he doesn't receive an offer sheet from another team, as they have reportedly did Sunday with restricted free agent power forward Meyers Leonard.
UPDATE: The team has officially announce that they have signed Meyers Leonard to a new contract. From the press release…
"Meyers is a core member of our organization and continues to show the promise and potential we anticipated when we drafted him," said Olshey.
Leonard averaged career-highs with 8.4 points (44.8% FG, 37.7% 3-PT76.1% FT), 5.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 21.9 minutes in 61 games (10 starts) in 2015-16. He missed the final 14 games of the regular season due to an injured left shoulder.
"Today is a day which is hard to describe. I'm overcome with happiness and joy," said Leonard. "I'm thankful for the people who have remained loyal and loving in my life. This is the product of a lot of hard work and time. I feel like I have found a new gear mentally and physically and really am excited for the next four years. The future is going to be bright with this team."
The Trail Blazers and Meyers Leonard sat down at the negotiating table prior to the start of the 2015-16 season in an effort to hammer out a new contract in an effort to keep the 7-1 power forward from hitting the (restricted) free agent market. Despite mutual interest, the two sides were unable to strike a deal, though considering the Trail Blazers had the right to match any offer Leonard received as a free agent, it always seemed likely he'd be back even if terms on an extension couldn't be reached.
As it turns out, an offer sheet from another team wasn't needed for both sides to ultimately come to an agreement.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical, Leonard and the Trail Blazers have agreed on a new four-year deal worth $41 million…
Leonard, a restricted free agent, has built his value as a stretch four with an ability to spread the floor and deliver a presence on the defensive boards.
Leonard is part of a core expected to compete for 50 victories in the Western Conference this season.
Leonard, 24, missed the final 20 regular-season games with a left shoulder surgery in 2015-16, but has shown steady improvement in the past two years after being selected at No. 11 overall in the 2012 NBA draft.
The reported four-year deal is roughly the same as the offer the Trail Blazers reportedly extended to Leonard prior to the start of the 2015-16 season. At the time, it was reasonable to assume Leonard might receive a larger offer from another team, as his combination of size, athleticism and shooting are highly sought after in today's NBA. But missing the final 20 games of the regular season and the entirety of the playoffs after undergoing surgery on his left shoulder, not to mention the widely-held assumption that the Blazers would match any reasonable offer for Leonard, likely cooled interest from other teams. And though he didn't say it explicitly, it always seemed as though Leonard's preference was to continue his career in Portland after being selected by the Trail Blazers with the 11th overall pick of the 2012 Draft.
"I was drafted here, I've been with Terry (Stotts) the entire time, Neil (Olshey) obviously drafted me, being here with now our franchise player Damian (Lillard)," said Leonard back in March. "So the future is bright here and I truly hope that I can be a big part of it."
Leonard returns to a big man rotation that features Mason Plumlee, Ed Davis, Noah Vonleh and Festus Ezeli, who signed with Portland as a free agent on Friday.
While Trail Blazers President of Basketball Operations Neil Olshey said the team is done chasing new free agents for the year, whether restricted free agents Maurice Harkless and Allen Crabbe, who received an offer sheet from the Brooklyn Nets worth reportedly $75 million over four years on Thursday, return to Portland next season is still to be determined. The team has until 9 pm Sunday night to decide whether or not to match the offer made to Crabbe.

Tests: Beached whale found in NYC was malnourished
NEW YORK (AP) – Tests show a 60-foot beached whale that died in a costal enclave of New York City was malnourished but wasn't injured or killed by humans.
The whale is part of an endangered species known as finback or fin whales. It was severely emaciated but clinging to life when it was discovered Wednesday stranded at Breezy Point, a Queens community hit hard by Superstorm Sandy.
Volunteer firefighters sprayed water on the whale as it sat halfway out of the Jamaica Bay water. The whale drifted out of sight at high tide and came ashore dead Thursday.
Marine officials said Friday the whale was malnourished and had lesions in its stomach and kidneys. The cause of its death won't be determined until testing comes back on tissue samples.
The whale is being buried.
