The Magician King (original 2011; edition 2011)
by Lev Grossman
Work details
The Magician King by Lev Grossman (2011)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
On the last page of THE MAGICIANS, I was angry because the book was ending. But I took heart when I flipped the page and read "watch for THE MAGICIAN KING - COMING AUGUST 2011". Now I feel somewhat the same way about finishing THE MAGICIAN KING and I don't know if there is a Part 3. ???Even if the story has ended, it's a wonderful, creepy, sophisticated, yes I agree a "Harry Potter for adults", and I loved every magical minute of it. ( And the non-magical minutes as well)
But I would like to know...when is the next book ?
I liked this a lot more than the Magician, the first book in the series. Quentin is a little more grown up and less whiny and self centered.
I had really enjoyed The Magicians but I was a little confused about its intentions – was it a deconstruction of, and comment on, the fantasy genre; or did it want to be taken seriously as a work of fantasy in its own right? There was a sense of Grossman trying to have his cake and eat it too, and although the results had an inherent tension that I found very rewarding, it also somehow fell between two stools. Have you got that – a half-eaten cake between two stools? Right, we're on the same page. If the cake and stools are also on a page. Let's move on.
Anyway, so the sequel would, I thought, be more of a declaration of intent. The slightly twee rubbishness of Fillory in the first book made sense as a way of discussing the limitations of fantasy utopias, but as a setting for a real attempt at world-building and epic drama it didn't seem very promising. To my irritation but also my grudging admiration, Grossman continues to try to push both angles at once in this middle book, writing a standard quest narrative whose participants are self-aware enough to make it kind-of-sort-of-just-about work as a commentary on quest narratives too.
The jumping-off point is essentially where a book like The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe ends – with four kids from Earth ensconced as kings and queens of a fantasy realm, and it attempts to consider what this would actually be like. What would you do all day? How would you run a magical kingdom? Is there admin? Would it be mind-numbingly boring? Running alongside this is an episodic, analeptic retracing of what Julia was up to during the events of the first book – her story does a lot to flesh out Grossman's world and his idea of magic, and her narrative offers a very welcome counterpoint to Quentin's point of view (though he, too, has noticeably matured from the adolescent dick he was in book one). Julia's story is gritty and goes to some very dark places, but it's nice to see that she's just as fucked-up as he is, if not more so.
What I like about these books is the narrative tone, the slangy conversational awareness, the snappy one-liners about other fantasy reference-points, the allusions to D&D, Gauntlet, Dr Who. I can understand why dedicated fantasy fanboys find Grossman's approach disrespectful or overly cynical, but for me, as someone who grew up loving the genre but who now finds its earnestness hard to escape into, the register is perfectly pitched. A sequence where our heroes go back to the original home of the CS-Lewis-like author of the books-within-a-book, and discover a yuppie estate with a precocious child who 'could have been cloned from Christopher Robin's toenail clippings', is a set-piece that encapsulates all of Grossman's meta-generic playfulness (as well as some of the problems with his plotting and pacing).
The incorporation of religion with magic in this book was particularly interesting – at first it made me angry, and, like Julia, I found myself needing to suppress my 'intellectual gag reflex'. Eventually it occurred to me that this irritation was not exactly commensurate with suspending disbelief in a world with talking sloths and magic haberdashery. If magic is real – a part of the real world that we know – then where does that leave religion, exactly? This turned out to be more interesting than I realised and I was wondering about the implications for much longer than I expected to – one of the many ways this series can annoy and intrigue you all at once.
I'm not sure how to call it. There are a couple of characters whose fates appear to have been ignored – we'll see if he comes back to them in the final book. If he does sort out some of those loose ends, and manages to keep the writing fun without succumbing to the temptation to make everything all serious and important for the big finish, then he'll be forgiven for quite a lot I reckon. One of the tonally weirdest series I can remember reading for some time….
I liked this marginally less than the last book, but still more than many other books I've given 4 stars too, so ultimately I gave this one a fifth. The biggest difference for me was the ending -- I wrote in my review of the first book about how perfect and complete it was, that while it was wonderful to know there was a second book, I would have loved the first book as a stand-alone novel just as much or more. This one, though, ended a little abruptly, with one of those hated moments where you turn the page only to find that it's blank, and you think, "Wait WHAT?!" and flip back to make sure you haven't missed a page or two...
So I hate ending a book with that horrible unsatisfied but-I-wasn't-ready-for-it-to-end! feeling. Still, even that unpleasant surprise wasn't nearly enough to spoil the book for me. In some ways it was even more complex and impressive, plot-wise, than the first book. In particular, I thought the retracing of Julia's path was incredibly well done, with elements that I seriously never saw coming, but that in retrospect seemed inevitable, which I think is a sign of a truly great plot (that is, when you can be surprised, but the surprises aren't implausible, but in hindsight are so completely plausible you can hardly believe you were surprised by them).
Anyway, I'm a little bit in love with Lev Grossman now, and must locate a copy of his other book posthaste. Also, I will be waiting very impatiently for the third book in this series, whose creation has apparently been foretold.
An amazing tightrope walk of fantasy novel and meta-fantasy novel. If you've ever read and loved fantasy, particularly the Chronicles of Narnia, do yourself a favor and read this and the first book, The Magicians.
"Everybody wanted to be the hero of their own story," Quentin declares, framing the novel's theme in neat miniature. But by the end of "The Magician King," he comes to realize that he just might not be. It's a harsh lesson, and one that, in keeping with the preoccupations and innovations of this serious, heartfelt novel, turns the machinery of fantasy inside out.
...a spellbinding stereograph, a literary adventure novel that is also about privilege, power and the limits of being human. The Magician King is a triumphant sequel, surpassing, I think, the original. I can't wait for the next one.
Echoes from The Chronicles of Narnia [...] continue to reverberate, but Grossman's psychologically complex characters and grim reckoning with tragic sacrifice far surpass anything in C.S. Lewis' pat Christian allegory.

Quentin and his friends are now the kings and queens of Fillory, but the days and nights of royal luxury are starting to pall. After a morning hunt takes a sinister turn, Quentin and his old friend Julia charter a magical sailing ship and set out on an errand to the wild outer reaches of their kingdom. Their pleasure cruise becomes an adventure when the two are unceremoniously dumped back into the last place Quentin ever wants to see: his parent's house in Chesterton, Massachusetts. And only the black, twisted magic that Julia learned on the streets can save them.… (more)

I just recently purchased a used bike, to make sure cycling is something I would be interested in without jumping in with hundreds of dollars. As a result of this, I have begun to notice a few things affecting my biking and was curious if anyone had any ideas.
First, from what I can recall, my tibia is off about 45 degrees, so in the position that both legs are facing 'forward', my right foot is point out (away from me) said 45 degrees. As such, when I turn that foot in to face forward when biking (foot on the pedal), it forces my leg to bend inward, causing rubbing against the bar. So too does my foot, due to the front-facing position on the pedal, end up slightly tilted sideways, away from the bike.
The only thing I could think of to fix this is a bike that doesn't have a top bar and a larger pedal.
The second issue is clipless pedals. With my foot facing forward as mentioned when biking and my leg leaning in like that, I /cannot/ twist my foot inward more than half a centimeter or so. I was told there are some clipless pedals that can disengage in various directions, but I have yet to find any.
I'm currently using a mountain bike, but due to how slow it is on the road, I hope to move to a hybrid at least (or hybrid that leans toward road use, yet not a full road bike.)

How To Clap When You're Addicted To Your Phone & Social Media
For most of us with smartphones it is very difficult to sometimes put our phones down. As you can see in the above picture from the Pepsi Refresh Project Tweetup by @PhotoJunkie we addicts to social media spend a lot of time on our phones tweeting even when we are out in public with groups of people. Most of us who are used to hanging out with fellow social media addicts do not think anything of it when people violate normal etiquette rules and are looking down at their phones while we are talking to them. We are well aware that (1) we do it too and (2) no offense is meant by it and (3) most of us are quite adept multitaskers who can listen to a conversation while tweeting about it too.
However, one of the problems I often find myself having when I am out and about listening to a speaker or watching a performance and all the while tweeting/BBMing/texting/browsing the Internet is that I only have one hand which remains free for other uses. Often, it is true, this free hand is used for holding a beer as in the picture above but what do you do when the on stage act which you are tweeting about finishes and you are still busy with one hand on your phone? How do you show your appreciation with the rest of the crowd – who aren't an addict like you and have 2 hands free – who are all clapping? We already know there is no way I'm going to stop tweeting to clap so there must be another way to continue tweeting AND clap at the same time without knocking my phone out my hands. (Hey, I already admitted I'm an addict, don't judge me!) And so, I have come up with a brilliant solution which I would like to share with you – and please feel free to use it whenever you are out and about. What I do is I ensure I am not holding a beer in my otherwise free hand and I simply slap the side of my leg – below the pocket so as not to crush stuff in there – and it provides a very similar sound to the clapping of two hands together.
In case you are wondering, I have experimented with slapping other parts of my body – no not my crotch, I wasn't even trying that one – and they don't work in terms of the awkwardness of hitting them repeatedly, and their very biological makeup. Your chest will not supply quite the same sound because it is largely hollow inside your lungs, also it is quite awkward smacking your chest while you are trying to tweet…that repeatedly moving hand is an annoying distraction! Slapping your opposite upper arm WOULD work except you'd probably run into the problem of dropping your phone and all the shaking will probably prevent you from tweeting. No, the leg/thigh region is the best place for you to slap as an ersatz clap for all of us social media/iPhone/CrackBerry addicts out there.
Try it out for yourself and let me know what you think.

Need the steps to show my facebook wall posts on my asp.net webiste/View 3 Replies
Basically, I would like to include my latest Wall posting on my website. But, so far, everything I have read needs the visitor to the site to log-in to Facebook which, in theory, would then retrieve their latest Wall post. In prinicpal, I guess it would be like an RSS Feed.View 1 Replies
I like to send messages when I want from my aspx webpage. I used the different examples and used FaceBook API 3.1. I am getting error as "service temporarily unavailable". I have assigned AppKey, Secret Key and session key. My sample code is below.
using System;

// Not authenticated, proceed as usual.
//lblStatus.Text = "Please sign-in with Facebook.";
// Authenticated, create API instance
fbAPI = new Api(_connectSession);
string response = fbAPI.Stream.Publish("publish steven on facebook.");
The error message is confusing. It must be a very simple solution. I don't know what I am missing. Here is the facebook exception.
{"Service temporarily unavailable"}
i'm trying to figure out how to create a message wall similar to facebook or myspace, only much more simple, just txt messages. I've looked around and i can't really find any tutorials or posts on how to do this. if anyone can point me in the right direction or provide me with some links. I mean, even something as simple as you see on practically every site out there, where at the bottom the user can leave a comment or feedback and it posts it to the page.View 1 Replies
I am making a db schema for facebook like wall structure. I need to save wall posts, share a link, share a video
stuff into my database. Till now I am able to make this schema :
CREATE TABLE [Wall]
[ID] [int] NOT NULL IDENTITY(1, 1) ,
[PostText] [nvarchar](MAX)
[PostedByUserID] [int] NULL ,
[PostedOnUserID] [int] NULL ,
[DateCreated] [datetime] NULL
Next I have to add the schema for adding the "share a link" and "share a video" feature.
CREATE TABLE [Wall]
[ID] [int] NOT NULL IDENTITY(1, 1) ,
[WallText] [nvarchar](MAX)
[PostedByUserID] [int] NULL ,
[PostedOnUserID] [int] NULL ,
[DateCreated] [datetime] NULL,
[SharedLink] [nvarchar](1024) NULL ,
[SharedLinkTitle] [nvarchar](512) NULL ,
[SharedLinkDesc] [nvarchar](512) NULL ,
[SharedLinkImageSrc] [nvarchar](512) NULL
Now with this schema:
1st case: When the wall post is inserted the [SharedLink], [SharedLinkTitle],[SharedLinkDesc], [SharedLinkImageSrc] columns will be inserted as null and rest of the columns will have the values.
2nd case: When the "link shared" is inserted the "[WallText]" column will be inserted as null and rest of the columns will have the values.
For my case 70% of the time the wall post will be made and 30 % "links" will be shared which means 70 % of the cases [SharedLink], [SharedLinkTitle],[SharedLinkDesc], [SharedLinkImageSrc] will be inserted as null. Now my concern is that is it okay to keep the null columns inserted or I should go for a separate table for "shared a link" purpose and have the separated table like this:
CREATE TABLE [LinkShared]
[ID] [int] NOT NULL IDENTITY(1, 1) ,
[PostedByUserID] [int] NULL ,
[PostedOnUserID] [int] NULL ,
[SharedLink] [nvarchar](1024) NULL ,
[SharedLinkTitle] [nvarchar](512) NULL ,
[SharedLinkDesc] [nvarchar](512) NULL ,
[SharedLinkImageSrc] [nvarchar](512) NULL
I have to go in similar manner to add the schema for sharing the videos further. Please guide me in which direction should I move?
I'm just wondering what's the best way to implement a threaded conversation like the Facebook Wall where the comments are displayed under each post, and older comments are collapsed and expandable. My instinct is to use a nested datalist, but I think that might take a toll on performance.View 2 Replies

I want Post to Wall Post functionality in facebook fan page application. I am developing it using ASP.Net. I am using javascript sdk and applying strem.publish method. Below is th code which i have used.
I need to post on a website the wall notifications of a Facebook group, the group and the website belong to the same entity. I've looked at many of the options available, but I would apreciate if someone with a bit Facebook developing experience told me what is the best path (most straighforward). The website is not intented to interact with Facebook in any other way, there would exist no Facebook login button, and this one wall would be the only one being consulted. I've looked at the possibility of grabbing an rss feed from the wall, but that option doesn't seem to exist. The website is being done with asp.net (c#).View 2 Replies
I've integrated my website with Facebook Connect, authorization/single-sign on all working great.
Now im trying to post something to the user's wall, which im having some problems with.
First of all, im using the "old" JavaScript API (FeatureLoader.js).
These are the Graph API URL's im using:
private const string UserDetails_Url = @"https://graph.facebook.com/{0}?access_token={1}";
private const string Feed_Url = @"https://graph.facebook.com/{0}/feed?access_token={1}";
private const string TokenExchange_Url = @"https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?{0}";
I'm using the TokenExchange_Url URL to receive the unique user OAuth token to make calls with.
This is working fine, because a) i receive the token back, and b) i can issue HTTP Get Requests to the Graph API (i.e UserDetails_Url) and it works fine.
But, i cannot Post to the User's wall using the Feed_Url.I'm pretty sure the issue is i haven't got the appropriate user permissions to post to a wall (i.e facebook-side setting).
Now, i realise i can use the fbPublish API method client-side to do this, but i want to do it server-side with the Graph API.
I wont bother showing my code which attempts the call to the Graph API to post to the user's wall, as its pretty straightforward (HttpWebRequest, set method to "POST', set content type/length, write bytes to Stream, etc).
I think the problem is i need the user to grant my aplpication "publish_stream" extended permissions.
The Facebook Graph API doco says to do this in your authorization request:
Which confuses me because im using the following URL to get the OAuth token:
Am i using the wrong Token Exchange URL? Why is there two different URL's to seemingly get the same piece of information?
Yes - i have read the Facebook API doco (numerous times), and yes i have read other similar SO questions, but they all result in using the client-side API to publish to wall, i want to do it server side.
For the actual "Facebook Connect" button, i'm using the standard FBML:
<fb:login-button length="long" size="medium" autologoutlink="false" background="light" onlogin="facebookLogin('/login')" class=" fb_login_not_logged_in FB_login_button FB_ElementReady"></fb:login-button>
When i click this (and not logged into Facebook), it pops up a window which the user can login. But it doesnt have the "Request Extended Permissions" dialog - shouldnt it? Or is that another popup i need to manually trigger?
So to sum up, here are my questions:
How do i grant extended permissions to publish to the user's wall?What is the correct URL for obtaining an OAuth token?Is there a definitive source for showing how to post to a user's wall using server-side Graph API calls?
I'm using an ASP.NET Facebook Developers Toolkit (http://www.codeplex.com/FacebookToolkit) on an external website, and I'm also the admin of a facebook fan page for the website. Users on my website (may or may not be facebook users) create content articles.
I would like to hook up these articles to the Facebook fan page, so that, when they write the article, then ones with FB accounts can sign into FB and post on the Fan page. I'm sure they would need to be a fan first.
I am making a mini-facebook website, and have been implementing a users personal wall where members can write on anyones wall.I don't want users to be able to write on OTHER users wall unless they are "friends". So i have created a table:-
hussaini_friends {friend_id, user_id, f_user_id, status, date_added}
So in the above table, i have user_id and f_user_id. Then there is a status column. This will show the status of the 2 users. (either accepted or declined)..
Now what i need to do is to check if the status of the 2 users is "accepted". If so then the users wall will be displayed. Otherwise the user will be asked to add the user as a friend.
Currently i do this:-PHP Code:
"SELECT (hussaini_comments.comment_id) AS CID, " +
"(hussaini_comments.comment) AS Comment, " +
"(hussaini_comments.user_id) AS UID, " +
This currently gets the details to pull out the information of the wall that belongs to a specific user. Now i need to add to the SQL so that it checks to see if the users are friends.
Would it be better it i have a separate SQL statement to check if the users are friends then show their details..?

i have managed to develop a status wall some what similar to facebook, using Repeater Controls- Parent Repeater is bound to the status and the child repeater is bound to the comments inside that status. I am strugling to implement the following solution- hiding and displaying a btnDeleteComments - depending of the owner of the comment- i.e. only owner of the wall and those who leave the comment can only delete that comment.
Status X
Comment A - left by member John
Comment B - Left by Member Doe
Comment C - Left by Member Harry
The owner of the wall can delete all comments, and only John can delete comment A, Doe can delete comment B and so on Here is what i have tried so far
1. fill a data set with two tables and relate them (table one = status, Table 2 = comments of that status)
2. data bind the repeater to this data set
3. here is the HTML of the child repeater
<asp:Repeater ID="rptComment" runat="server"
<asp:Image ID="ImgComPic"
ImageUrl='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "["comPicThumbPath"]")%>'
runat="server" />
<asp:TextBox ID="TxtDisplayComment"
ReadOnly="true" TextMode="MultiLine"
Rows ="3"
BorderWidth="0px" runat="server"
Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "["Comment"]")%>'
Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "["CreateDate"]")%>'>
<asp:TableCell HorizontalAlign="Right">
<asp:Button ID="BtnDeleteCom" runat="server"
CommandName=' <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "["CommentID"]")%>'
Text="Delete" Width="60px" CommandArgument="DeleteCom" CssClass="buttonDelCom"
Visible=' <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "["ViewersComment"]")%>' />

The higlighted bit is causing the cast invalid error- i thought this would do the trick, by deafult all the delete buttons next to each comment is hidden for members other then the owner of the wall- and only if they are the one who left the comment will teh delete button be visible-
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "["ViewersComment"]")%>'
The SQL which retreives the comments for a specific status, also retrieves a column2 ViewersComment which is either 'true' of 'false', indicating wether that comment was left by this person viewing the status wall-
I have to create facebook style wall in my project. So far I assume that I will get X(the number that needs to be shown be default) number of wall posts from database, bind them to some control like Repeater and add update panel in each row in repeater so that only the portion of page only related to that post is updated once any new comment is added in that post.
Now, since I am new to AJAX so cant figure out how to display the "older post" link functionality there. As we have link at the bottom of facebook wall which once clicked appends the certain number of older posts at the end of the wall.
Similarly, once a new post is added by someone, it gets added at the top of the wall, how can I acheive that so tha only the limited portion at the top of the wall gets refersed and updated instead of whole page post back.
i have a group page. i am creating a website for the group and they want to be able to see the recent facebook updates (what you see on the group's facebook wall) on their website. is this possible without having to have a facebook popup login and just programatically pass in my login information?View 1 Replies

I am making a mini facebook style website.

Basically each wall will be specific to a certain user. And all the walls will have different comments on them.Now i have managed to implement inserting comments etc on a users wall. BUT the problem is that it pulls out the comments for ANY user who is logged in.So basically the logic here would be that a wall belongs to a specific user, which contains comments made by users.View 4 Replies

I'm just returning to .NET and I am still getting used to the structure and setup for MVC.. I have a query about partial views /user controls - (i guess). I want to create a partial view of thumb image display (grid-wall like) reusable across the site/solution. The model for this already serves detail pages across the site. I want to use one attribute of the model collection e.g. 'model.thumbImage' to create a grid of thumb images.
My question is do I have to create a separate controller for this partial view e.g. Controllers/GridController.cs and then a view Views/Grid/index.ascx ? What is the best way to apprach this? I do not want the grid to be served/ routed directly i.e grid/index.ascx.
I'd like to post messages to a group wall without asking user for login information -I'd like to do it programmatically, I can use my user/pass if necessary-.

KIT FOXES: No new distemper cases found in Riverside County desert
1 of 2More Galleries
Back in 2011, I reported on a distemper outbreak that � killed 11 � kit foxes in and near a solar energy development site in eastern Riverside County.
Well, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has some good news about the foxes. � Recent tests on 70 of the little canines found no new cases of the disease.
Here is the official word from the CDFW:
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has completed the second year of surveys of desert kit foxes in eastern Riverside County.
The recent monitoring was part of a follow-up program to assess the overall health of the foxes, following a distemper outbreak that began in late 2011. Researchers from CDFW's Wildlife Investigations Lab (WIL) trapped, examined and tagged 70 foxes over a two-week period. The examination included drawing blood for detection of the canine distemper virus, swabbing the eyes, throat and nose to detect viral shedding and fitting a small number of foxes with radio collars to continue ongoing survival monitoring.
"Proactive wildlife management programs such as the desert kit fox surveys will allow us to monitor the overall population health and determine if any stress factors are causing them harm," said CDFW Wildlife Veterinarian Deana Clifford. "We are delighted that we did not find any sick foxes from distemper during this survey. We plan to return this spring after the pupping season to examine this year's pups, as weaning pups are especially vulnerable to distemper."
In January 2012, CDFW investigated the first-ever canine distemper outbreak reported in desert kit foxes, which caused the deaths of at least 11 desert kit foxes. The infected foxes were found 20 miles west of Blythe on public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and leased to Genesis Solar LLC to construct a utility-scale solar project. At the time, wildlife officials trapped, tested and tagged 39 foxes. Researchers also attached radio collars to 12 foxes in order to obtain health information for the study. These collars are equipped with a mortality signal that pulses twice as fast as normal if the animal has not moved for six hours.
The desert kit fox, found in the southeastern deserts of California, is about the size of a well-grown house cat with very large ears and a thick, sandy-yellow coat that enables it to blend effortlessly into the desert environment. They can survive in dry climates because it obtains all its water from food sources. Its more northern relative, the San Joaquin kit fox, is listed as endangered under both state and federal endangered species acts due to loss of habitat and other factors.
Distemper is common in dogs. It is often fatal. Symptoms include � a runny nose, vomiting and diarrhea, dehydration, excessive salivation, coughing, labored breathing, loss of appetite and weight loss.
Kit foxes are the smallest native canines in North America. Adults weigh between three and six pounds. They favor arid desert, chaparral and grassland habitats.

Scheidel's research focuses on ancient social and economic history, with particular emphasis on historical demography, labor, and state formation. More generally, he is interested in comparative and transdisciplinary approaches to the study of the premodern world, and is trying to build bridges between the humanities, the social sciences, and the life sciences.
The most frequently cited active-duty Roman historian in the Western Hemisphere adjusted for age, Scheidel is the author or (co-)editor of 15 books, has published over 200 articles, chapters, and reviews, and has lectured in 23 countries. His most recent books are State Power in Ancient China and Rome(2015, ed.), Fiscal Regimes and the Political Economy of Premodern States (2015, co-edited with Andrew Monson), The Oxford Handbook of the State in the Ancient Near East and Mediterranean (2013, co-edited with Peter Bang), The Cambridge Companion to the Roman Economy (2012, ed.), The Oxford Handbook of Roman Studies (2010, co-edited with Alessandro Barchiesi), Rome and China: Comparative Perspectives on Ancient World Empires (2009, ed.), The Dynamics of Ancient Empires (2009, co-edited with Ian Morris), and The Cambridge Economic History of the Greco-Roman World (2007, co-edited with Ian Morris and Richard Saller).

This is one sport where public outcry reaches important ears.
After promising a title shot to the winner of Saturday night's Brandon Vera/Mauricio Rua bout on a media call, Dana White has had a change of heart. The news of Rua or Vera getting another crack at Jon Jones hit like a thud. As such, UFC on FOX 4 becomes a four-man affair, as Lyoto Machida and Ryan Bader have been added to this penultimate drama. Whoever wins in the most devastating fashion gets the winner of Jones and Dan Henderson.
The fans have spoken. Bigger possibility now comes into play on Saturday night. With bigger possibility, bigger drama.
But this is one of those cases where you wonder if the outcry was fully understood. Back at UFC 103, when the UFC announced a main event rematch between Rich Franklin and Henderson, the "why bother" undertow was so strong that it was immediately shut down. You remember what happened next. Henderson hit a contract snag and defected to Strikeforce, and Franklin got knocked out by Vitor Belfort instead.
It all panned out OK for everybody.
It will pan out OK this time, too; but right now, it's confusing. It's White's prerogative to switch gears as he sees fit, and he's not afraid to do just that, especially if it calms down outraged fans. Tim Sylvia was pretty close to fighting Daniel Cormier before the roof collapsed in on him. Enter Frank Mir, and everybody breathed a sigh of relief. Mir having no chance is far better than Sylvia having no chance.
Why? Essentially because Mir deserves to be there more. These are the types of alignments we make through initial gut reactions.
But that was last week. This week, whimsy is shaking down the light heavyweight division. The thing is, a lot of people's fates are attached to the whims. There are the four guys in question, but also Alexander Gustafsson, and even Glover Teixeira, who are hovering around. Not to mention all the out of division foes Jones' name gets linked to. Are we sorting out merit, or convenience? It's always a fine line.
I wrote a blog yesterday after it was announced that the Rua/Vera winner would get a title shot, which is down the scroll just below. The gist is, if Jones beats Henderson, neither Rua nor (especially) Vera makes for a compelling rematch. Unfortunately, that problem still exists with the introduction of Bader and Machida. Jones has distanced himself from all of Saturday night's company. He defeated both Bader and Machida so thoroughly the first time -- the same as with Rua and Vera -- that the drama of a playback just isn't there.
However, small-view drama that can sort itself out on Saturday night is. And this seems to be what we're keying in on.
The problem is, we don't know if Jones will win on Sept. 1. Most only suspect he'll beat the 41-year old Henderson. Since the promises are being made ahead of the order, it's difficult to say if any of this makes sense. If Henderson upsets Jones, any of the UFC on FOX guys look like a solid matchup. Since that fight comes a month after this impromptu contender's tournament, though, we go off of potential disappointments.
And the potential disappointment in this case is that one of these four guys will end up facing Jones in a fight that won't be altogether riveting, just as Jones enters the most riveting juncture of his career.
White changes his mind quite a bit. Oftentimes it's because the fans voiced their opinion and, as he's proved to be many times, he's a man of the people. By opening up Machida and Bader to the mix, he's done that again. Now there's a showcase vibe for Saturday night, and there's every incentive for each fighter to come out with guns blazing to put the other away.
Whoever does it gets the title shot, whether it makes sense or not. That is, unless, you know, White changes his mind -- which has every chance of being the case.

Horse Racing: Star Tests Nerves on Gold Trail
Byline: ALASTAIR DOWN RACING'S No1 WRITER
AS A rule the appearance on a single race day of the best two-mile, two-and-a-half-mile and three-mile chaser in these islands would mean three horses in action on one afternoon.
But at Newbury on Saturday all of those boxes are ticked by just one exceptional animal, as the explosively talented Kauto Star has his last public warmup for the Gold Cup in the Aon Chase.
It is still not clear which rivals will be bold enough to take him on, though it is noticeable that the Irish are staying at home and, strictly on the form book, it will take a change of government to get Kauto Star beat.
For Paul Nicholls and his team the next few weeks will be like sitting on a powder keg while surreptitiously smoking a cigarette.
For head lad Clifford Baker there will be that early-morning flicker of worry as he goes into Kauto Star's box to see all is well, that those tendons on his front legs are cool to the touch and that the Gold Cup favourite is bright of eye and rarin' to go.
Nicholls's steep and searching main all-weather gallop maintains his horses at a 'high level of residual fitness. But Kauto Star will have to do that little bit extra before next Saturday, before they leave off him a fraction and then put the gun back to his head in the immediate run-up to the Gold Cup.
This is the time when things can go awry. It takes a cool head not to do too much with horses and overtrain them that little bit that sends them over the top - a process which gave rise to the old racing adage "left his race at home on the gallops".
That wouldn't be a problem at Ditcheat, where horses are monitored better than your Auntie Gertie in intensive care, but you are always on tenterhooks for that niggling training injury that puts years of planning into sudden peril. …
