text: It started off innocently enough. Buffalo native Nick Bakay had been so supportive of my radio career that I wanted to express my gratitude in a uniquely Buffalo sort of way. You may know Bakay from his run on ESPN with his Tale Of The Tape series, or as the voice of a cat on Sabrina The Teenage Witch, or as the writer behind Paul Blart Mall Cop and King Of Queens. He's kind of a big deal and as close to a Hollywood big wheel as I'm ever going to get. The first time I had Nick on my old night time show on WBEN he wrote me a note, like with a pen and everything, and sent it to me in mail. He wrote to thank me for having him on and to tell me he listened whenever he got back to Buffalo and thought I was doing a great job. Being new at the gig, this meant quite a lot to me. We stayed in touch and he became a pretty regular guest on that show. He was in town during one of the Sabres playoff runs in the late 90's and visited in studio with me for what turned into a few hours. It was a surreal night featuring guys calling to ask Nick what he thought of Doug Flutie, pretty standard fare, followed by teenaged girls calling to ask him if he could talk to them in the voice of Salem, the cat from Sabrina. Not so standard fare. So one thing leads to another and eventually I get the idea that I want to send him the aforementioned gift. I came across the perfect item, boxed it up and shipped it off to California. Yes, that item was a Whammy Weenie. My guess would be that many of you reading this may have no idea what a Whammy Weenie is. Well, it's a wiener shaped hollowed out piece of plastic painted green with yellow lettering that spells out "Whammy Weenie" on it. They were noisemakers. I think I remember learning later that the paint may have been poisonous lead based paint, but whatever. I'm pretty sure these Whammy Weenies were the brainchild of the old Bells supermarket chain and were supposed to put the hex on the Bills opponent. Never mind that they weren't Bills colors and the paint may have been deadly. Such minor details. So this is sometime in 1999. Yes, that's the last year the Bills made the playoffs. Oh, and I think I forgot to mention, this particular Whammy Weenie didn't actually belong to me. It belonged to my friend Mike Krajewski, known to all his friends simply as Kry. I don't recall how I came to be in possession of Kry's Whammy Weenie nor am I entirely sure that I even knew it was his Whammy Weenie when I shipped it off to Bakay. Either way, off to California it went. I first got to know Kry working at Santora's at Main and Union in Williamsville. I was a manager and he was a driver. We didn't especially hit it off at first. I was a too cool downtown guy, hanging at the Continental and the Old Pink, although this is 1992 or '93, so it still may have just been the Pink. Kry seemed to me to be a typical Cheektowaga tough guy. He showed up on time and did his job and that was the extent of our relationship. Until the comeback game happened. That day, with no TV, we experienced the greatest of games while chopping carrots, making sauce and dough, and hanging on every word Van Miller said. I remember Kry wanting to do kitchen work that day even though delivery drivers never did such things. The kitchen was where the radio was. I certainly don't need to recount the entire game here. I'll just tell you that when the Bills finally took the lead, Kry was the closest person to me and I leaped at him to hug/tackle him. Thankfully, Kry is a big dude, and I think he may have managed to hold onto me for a few seconds before we crumpled to the floor in a heap. We've been best friends pretty much ever since. I discovered that I could have a fine time drinking beers after work at Heroes on Main St and Kry, along with a host of others from our crew, discovered the charm of the Pink. When exactly he passed the Whammy Weenie to me I don't recall. But I have no doubt that it is his. This is due to the number of messages I have received over the years, usually whenever we have Nick Bakay on the show. I have provided a sample message below. "Hey expletive, why don't you tell that expletive no talent two bit Hollywood hack Bakay that the Bills haven't been to the expletive playoffs since you expletive sold us out by sending him my expletive Whammy Weenie? Seriously, don't make me come down there, I'll make him talk like a expletive cat! By the way, go expletive yourself" Really, Kry is a good dude. One of the best. So finally I asked Nick if he knew the whereabouts of the Whammy Weenie and he said he knew he had it but that it was in storage somewhere. Saturday before last I get a message. It's a text from Bakay. It reads... "Chris, after many many years of suspense, I have finally been to a certain storage unit in Van Nuys, California. I need your mailing address." It arrived just the other day, bubble wrapped and accompanied by a very official looking letter on TV studio stationary for the new CBS sit com Mom for which Nick is the Executive Producer. It's all very exciting and maybe means that EJ Manuel is going to be great. Or maybe it just means that our dog will die if she gets ahold of the Whammy Weenie. Don't worry Kry, I've got it stored away safely awaiting the final transfer of it's harrowing journey. Go Bills!

The multi-school lockdown that occurred Friday morning turned out to be a fabricated story by a Cupertino Middle School student, officials said.
The student, who is not being named because he is a minor, is being interviewed at Sunnyvale Public Safety headquarters, spokesman Sgt. Dave Verbrugge said.
It all started around 10:30 a.m. when the male student went to his teacher and said he saw a man with a gun on the playing field.
The teacher called the principal who alerted an officer who was on campus dealing with another situation, Verbrugge said.
Police locked down the entire campus and surrounding roads and began their search. Deputies from Santa Clara County Sheriff's department were on hand as well.
Nearby schools such as Homestead High School and West Valley Elementary School were placed on lockdown as a precaution, and Patch readers reported "Early Horizons on Lewiston, which shares space with the French-American school and DeLor Montessori" and "Resurrection Catholic School on Hollenbeck/Cascade is also on voluntary lock down."
The student who made the claim was in the principal's office while police searched the campus.
"They continued to interview him and check his story," Verbrugge said.
And as things didn't match up, the boy admitted he made up the whole story.
He will probably be issued a citation for filing a false police report then go to juvenile court, and Verbrugge said depending on the outcome of the interview and a discussion with the boy's parents, there could be more charges.
Nobody was hurt during the incident, but Verbrugge said there was certainly damage done by the fear the claim put in parents, students and the school staff and faculty.
When the lockdown was lifted around 1:30 p.m. a "controlled release" of students at Cupertino Middle School was conducted, according to Cupertino Union School District spokesman Jeremy Nishihara.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

While NFL teams were fishing for new talent in Saturday's final rounds of the NFL draft, Stacy McGee also went fishing.
"My agent (Peter Schaffer) told me to go somewhere and relax," the former Rougher and Oklahoma Sooner said Thursday at a reception of family and friends in his honor at Cowboys' Barbecue.
So out he went to a spot on the Little River just as it runs into Thunderbird Lake and sat on the bank.
"I was reeling in a fish and the phone rang," he said. "I answered and it was such and such from the Raiders who said we're on the clock and we want to draft you with our next pick," he said. "My reaction was to release the fish and drop the pole so I could hear what he was talking about."
So the Raiders got their man, and that particular catfish got away.
But it wasn't much of a loss.
"I actually had a good day. Caught eight catfish," he said.
Then to celebrate, he met up with his family and had a fish fry.
It marked the end of one road he's traveled since signing with Oklahoma out of MHS in 2008 and yet the beginning of another when a mini-camp begins Thursday.
The road to get here has had its bumps. He missed the Cotton Bowl for a violation of team rules, one of three suspensions in his career, and wasn't at OU's Pro Day. But he got picked up for the Texas vs. The Nation in February and in that game, suffered a broken bone in his foot.
His time at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis was spent interviewing, and he came away with a good feeling.
"I had a visit at Carolina and thought I might end up there," he said. "I had confidence I would get drafted, I just didn't know exactly when."
McGee, who was considered with teammate Jameel Owens the top two players out of Oklahoma and one of the top 15 defensive tackles in the country after the 2007 high school season, played in 34 games at Oklahoma with 15 starts. He finished with 63 career tackles, but his athletic build and foot speed for a penetrating three-technique made him worth a look.
Owens wound up at Tulsa before quitting football, leaving McGee alone with the shot at the ultimate dream.
"JO and I talk all the time and he was one who called and told me congrats, he was happy for me and proud more than anything," he said.
"I've been through my ups and my downs and I've just tried to push through it. My motivation all along has been my family. I've had my coaches along the way but they can only teach you so much. My family has been my motivation through all this."

He drove his 1990 Toyota Camry into the path of an oncoming Volvo SUV, the CHP said.
Geddes' Camry was hit on the driver's-side door. He died at the scene.

Shea Akers of Pyromance does her thing in Days Park during last year's Infringement Festival. Photo by Dave Pape.
Today marks the first day of the 2012 Buffalo Infringement Festival, an 11-day, city-consuming carvnival of weird that includes just about every type of cultural activity imaginable. Wading through the fest's 800 performances, 144 music acts, 76 multidisciplinary shows, 78 visual art exhibitions and 14 films -- all listed on the festival website -- can be daunting, to say the least.
So each morning until the last day of the festival on Aug. 5, check in here for my own personal recommendations (sometimes based on past experience, sometimes on advance word, and sometimes on total guesswork) of five Infringey activities to check out during the day. Keep in mind that half the fun of Infringement is wandering around Allentown and into events that no one told you would be especially promising, but which wind up blowing your mind. Do feel free to ignore these suggestions if you are so inclined, or to leave comments in the blog about things you've seen, liked or recommend.
Also make sure to bookmark The Gusto Blog and to check back regularly for photos, videos, interviews, mini-reviews and other content of an Infringement-tinged nature throughout the festival.
I'll post today's five picks below. Happy Infringement everyone!
•Thing number one on any Infringer's schedule, whether newbie or veteran, oughtta be tonight's Opening Ceremonies at Nietzsche's, a venue that is more or less the nerve center of the festival. The evening will feature performances by a dozen or so troupes and/or bands, ranging from the Wham Bam Poetry Troupe and the Buffalo Burlesque Collective to rock/hip-hop act Lazy Ass Destroyer and "new wave electro dance rock" outfit Quest for Friends. If you can't find something you like at this party, which gets goin' at 8 p.m., you might as well quit while you're ahead.
•Peter Sorkin, a Dylanesque blues guitar player who recently moved to Buffalo to work as a community organizer, turned in an awesome bite-sized performance during the Infringement preview event at Merge. See him play in the video I put together here. Luckily, Sorkin plays on a lot of dates and in a lot of places during this year's festival, the first of which is tonight at 5 p.m. at Cafe Taza, the pint-sized coffee shop and artsy hangout on Elmwood Avenue near Allen Street.
•"Incident at Deer Lick," a touching, pitch-perfect performance of a short story written and delivered in the style of Mark Twain by the inimitable Franklin LaVoie, has popped up at Infringement before (I wrote about it two years ago) and is an inarguable must-see. Head to the Crane Library at 7 tonight to check out the first performance, or see the Infringement site for the remaining four, through Aug. 4.
•Sketch-comedy duo Todd Benzin and Don Gervasi are -- I can vouch for this personally -- always good for a minimum of three guaranteed, genuine belly laughs. Their suggestion-driven act Babushka!, an Infringement spin-off of their successful comedy troupe Eclectic Improv has been a festival staple for years. The first of its many 2012 performances takes place tonight at 8 in Burning Books, the radical reading room on rapidly reviving Connecticut Street.
•Can't make it to the fest today? That's cool, because Buffalo State's radio station, 91.3 FM WBNY, is hosting a whole slew of bands throughout the day from 7 p.m. all the way through to 2:30 a.m. This is an excellent chance to check out some new local music, including Final Conspiracy, Alex Berkley, Erin Sydney Welsh, Drooka, Keith Michaud, Autoverse, ZFX and Kari Jo's Nightmare.
Please feel free to drop your own suggestions in the comments section, and Happy Infringement one and all.
--Colin Dabkowski

Linux Administration: A Beginner's Guide
Author: Steve Shah
Publisher: Osborne McGraw-Hill
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Price: $39.99 US
Reviewer: Harvey Friedman
Although it does have "beginner" in the title, this is not a book for someone entirely new to computers. Rather, it was written for one who might have prior experience as systems administrator for another computer system, and is finally ready to try Linux. In particular, the author compares it to Windows NT, with some lovely diagrams showing 1) authentication, 2) network, 3) boot process and 4) shutdown process. I used these comparison diagrams to learn about NT servers (assuming they were correct) because my only previous experience with NT was with the NT workstation.
Enough about NT, however. This book was a delight to read. Each chapter uses the classic teaching organization of an introduction telling the reader what will be covered, the coverage itself, and then a brief summary outlining what was covered, plus a list of books for further reading. The overall structure consists of five parts: Installing Linux, Single Host Administration, Internet Services, Intranet Services and Advanced Linux Networking.
The inside front cover of the book contains a "functional menu" listing many common tasks that a system administrator has to do and a reference to the chapter containing it. This implies that each chapter is self-contained, although many of the later chapters require information from earlier ones. I recommend reading it from cover to cover. Also included with the book is a CD-ROM containing the "Publisher's Edition" of the Red Hat Linux 6.1 distribution. What this means is that the reader has a stripped-down version of the distribution. URLs for Red Hat and other useful sites (such as where to download "ssh") are provided, so no one should be too peeved.
Shah gives good descriptions of using RPM to grab packages to install on one's working system, as well as complete illustrations of downloading a tarball, unzipping (if necessary), untarring and moving to a new directory. He then leads the reader thru the process of finding a Makefile, configuring, compiling and installing the package.
The description of setting up anonymous FTP is the most complete I can recall reading in recent memory. It is not just a cookbook recipe to follow, but also includes reasons to do things. Shah even contrasts setting up FTP via NT and discusses the relative security of each.
The Advanced Linux Networking section seemed too short. It covers IP aliasing, packet filters, and ipchains. After discussing the theory behind these, Shah gives concrete examples of how one might set them up, including filtering out the "ping of death".
I did stop counting typos after a dozen or so, but most of them will probably not detract from the reader's understanding. One of the most annoying errors was on page 222; the text describing DNS did not agree with Figure 12-1.
I think this book is well-written enough in explaining what is behind much of Linux that it could likely reduce many of the FAQs on Usenet newsgroups—that is, if everyone who had installed or wanted to install Linux would read it. Of course, most Linux newbies should read the HOWTOs, as well.
Overall, I think so highly of this book that I rate it in a class with Nemeth, et al.'s UNIX System Administration Handbook. Or maybe I've reviewed too many "... for Dummies" books. Well, I have reviewed enough of them and, yes, this book is good.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

In early October, while many Cobb County residents were focused on Friday night football or what to wear for Halloween, Joy "Gigi" Cantrell's sights were already set on Thanksgiving. Her holiday plans always included her family's participation in the MUST Ministries Gobble Jog, the charity's annual Thanksgiving morning run/walk fundraiser and a holiday tradition. In the same email message that Gigi sends to her grown children asking for volunteers to bring a side dish, she also includes registration information for the Gobble Jog.
Getting up before dawn on Thanksgiving morning to get the turkey in the oven, Gigi arrives at the historic Marietta Square by 8 a.m., leaving the bird in the capable hands of husband Myron, affectionately known as "Poppy." She meets daughters Julie Austin, a unit secretary in the emergency room at WellStar Kennestone Hospital, Stephanie Shamblin, a fifth grade teacher at A. L. Burruss Elementary School, and daughter-in-law, Tracie Cantrell, a marketing executive in Marietta. There will also be at least five or six grandchildren in tow.
Julie is the serious runner in the family. She has competed in several half marathons and runs the 10K course that consists of two laps from the Marietta Square to Kennestone Hospital and back again. Gigi, along with daughter Stephanie and the grandchildren, will meet other extended family members for the 5K walk/run. Stephanie says that the 5K may be less strenuous, but, "it's still a good workout and we don't feel guilty about our big meal later on." In addition to the exercise, Stephanie also enjoys the Gobble Jog's family-friendly atmosphere. "It's a good, spirited way to start the day and it's all for a good cause," referring to the funds raised by the event for MUST.
Last year, their annual participation took on a poignant twist when Julie saw a runner collapse just a few steps in front of her at the finish line. Immediately, she began to pray for guidance on how to help, and watched as emergency personnel rushed in to perform CPR. That event was a catalyst for Julie, who took the incident as a message for her own life. Later that day, after much talk around the family's dining room table, Julie made the decision to pursue a second bachelor's degree, this time in nursing. She is currently completing the science prerequisites and will apply for a spot in Kennesaw State University's fast-track nursing degree program. "That day, I realized my true calling," she said. "When I become a nurse, I intend to care for people in my own community and also care for those I'll be meeting on mission trips to other countries."

The Daily Item
The path to Selinsgrove's 12th District 4 Class AAA championship began and ended with its defense.
"The defense really stepped up. I don't know where they were in terms of yards (allowed), but the defense had a heck of a night," said Selinsgrove coach Dave Hess. "They pitched a shutout, and boy, it couldn't have come at a bigger time.
"For a playoff game, it's huge to pitch a shutout. I think our defense has come around and we're starting to peak at the right time."
While the offense was producing early, the defensive unit for the Seals, and their three down linemen in particular — Harley Stahl, Billy Parks, Andrew Boob — also made their mark.
Among the hallmarks in the game for Selinsgrove's defense was limiting Milton's three-pronged rushing attack of Jarred Fogelman, Jayson English and Josh Brown to just 61 yards on 33 carries.
Stahl, a senior nose guard, keyed the run-stuffing defense for the Seals. He was in on three tackles, with his two solo stops going for a loss of seven yards.
"A down lineman is one of the most important players. We get to blow everything up. That's what we were trained to do, and that's what we did," said Stahl. "Once we got a hold of (the running backs), we brought them down easily. We practiced that all week, and it seemed like it worked."
Boob, who's just a freshman, had four total tackles His first stop came late in Milton's second series of the game, which ultimately ended when cornerback Logan Benner intercepted a pass from Brady Chappell.
"That kid has a motor that never stops. He's tough as nails, he's quick, he's a fighter and I just love him. He's a great kid," said Hess in regards to Boob.
Parks really made his presence felt in the second quarter. He had three tackles and at least that many pressures on Chappell, who was forced to throw more than usual with the Black Panthers' running game being stymied.
"During practice all week coaches said if we want to stop the passing game, we have to put pressure on (Chappell). We came out and did what we were taught and it worked out," said Parks. "I can't even explain how well we performed. Every play it seemed like if there was an open gap, we filled it."
"Selinsgrove had a great game plan. I thought we had to throw the ball, and we kind of got out of our game plan – that's not our forte," said Milton coach George Goodwin.
That statement was never more evident than when the Black Panthers put together an eight-play drive that advanced all the way to the Seals' 1. However, Stahl tackled English for a loss of six on 2nd-and-goal. Then on third down linebacker Mike Walter crushed Chappell and caused a fumble that fellow linebacker Hunter Kantz recovered to preserve Selinsgrove's 24-0 lead.
"That was big. If we punch it in there, we're back in the ballgame," said Goodwin. "It was poor play calling on my part. There were a couple of things we could've, should've, would've done and I'll take all the blame for that one."
"That was a huge momentum swing. I know we were ahead pretty significantly at that point, but it was still big," said Hess.
"Our kids stayed there and they were challenged and they came up with the ball. It was great."
And for Stahl, Parks and the rest of the seniors, what's great to them is completing the shutout over Milton to claim their first district title.
"It feels amazing because I was here in 2010 when we lost to Shikellamy in the district final. Last year, we were 1-9 so this is the biggest win I've ever been a part of," said Stahl. "This is my first gold medal, ever. Our defense, we really stepped up to the game and we really showed them tonight I guess."
"It couldn't feel any better. This is the best feeling I've ever had," said Parks.

I was over at my parents' house when a commercial for Resident Evil came on. I said something to the effect of "Geez, there are still morons who want to see these movies?"
To which my Dad says, "I want to see this movie."
So yeah, I guess I'm taking my dad to see Resident Evil.
It's official. I am madly in love with Meryl Davis.
Here is a new interview with Avengers director Joss Whedon. He talks about Avengers 2 and an upcoming tv project based on S.H.E.I.L.D.
I want to see Looper, Wreck-It Ralph, and possibly Frankenweenie, though for the latter I'll probably wait for the dvd.
Saw Bourne Legacy. I thought it was well done. I wonder if they'll bring the Cross/Bourne characters together in future installments.
For those who've seen it, I have a question:
SpoilerWhy were they so intent on eliminating the Operation Outcome operatives, but not Larx--3? The latter were far more deadly, and there seemed to be no attempt to shut them down. Also, was the implication that Landy was basically sidelined in her quest to expose things? That's quite a rewriting of the Bourne series.
Lots of smaller movies being released this week. However, after viewing the trailers, none will be in boldface (which are my recommendations). A number of them were "almost's" though, but as it stands, none are being added to my To See List. (And what about "The Details"...what a cast - yet no trailer for this movie on youtube?? )
Sep 05 Detropia (Documentary. From imdb.com: "A documentary on the city of Detroit and its woes, which are emblematic of the collapse of the U.S. manufacturing base.")
Sep 05 For Ellen (Drama with Paul Dano, John Heder and Jena Malone)
Sep 05 Girl Model (Documentary. From imdb.com: "A documentary on the modeling industry's 'supply chain' between Siberia, Japan, and the U.S., told through the experiences of the scouts, agencies, and a 13-year-old model.")
Sep 07 Bachelorette (Comedy with Isla Fisher, James Marsden, Rebel Wilson, Adam Scott and Kirsten Dunst)
Sep 07 Branded (Action drama with Max von Sydow Leelee Sobieski and Jeffrey Tambor)

…no trailer at youtube or at imdb.com…
Sep 09 Bait 3D (Action thriller with new cast)
It's official. I am madly in love with Meryl Davis.
Caught up on some DVDs this weekend while I was home sick ( -- aside from the complete suckage of being sick on a long weekend ... who the heck gets a cold in August?):
Headhunters, Norwegian thriller based on a Jo Nesbo book (not one I'd read -- which was good, I don't think it would have been half as much fun if I'd known the plot). Very enjoyable, did everthing I expect a thriller to do without being too ott on the gore meter. Plus fun to see Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (aka Jaime Lannister) in another role.
Sita Sings the Blues, an animated version of an Indian traditional story. There's been a lot of hype about this, and IMO the movie doesn't quite live up to that degree ... but still enjoyable.
Elephant, the Gus Van Sant film inspired by / loosely based on the Columbine shooting. I'm still not sure how I feel about this one. Rather than a classic narrative, it's more a series of images, some of which are deliberately provocative, some of which I think could have been left on the cutting room floor. It certainly doesn't satisfactorily answer any "why" questions, though of course it isn't obligated to do wo. Where it does succeed, however, is illustrate the absolute hell that is high school for so many young people, and gets us to reflect on how we might do a better job of supporting teens who don't "fit in."
I got The Definitive Tracy & Hepburn box set for my birthday. I'd been looking for it for close to a year so I'm pretty happy now. I already had 3 of their movies, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Adam's Rib and Without Love. So I donated my old copies to my mum. I've now seen Woman of the Year, State of the Union, Pat & Mike and Desk Set. I've been trying to find those movies for ages and it had been next to impossible so I'm pretty happy right now. I had already seen Woman of the Year but it was so long ago I had forgotten it.

I want to see Wreck it Ralph, Looper, Pitch Perfect and Les Misérables.
The Words was a wonderful movie. Jeremy Irons is the stand out in this. Definitely well worth seeing!

Arash Markazi of ESPN wrote an article about what happen on the Clipper's plane yesterday
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The timing could have been better.
As the NBA trade deadline was coming to a close Thursday afternoon, Los Angeles Clippers players were gathered on the team's chartered plane, waiting to depart for Memphis for their game against the Grizzlies on Friday.
There were some tense moments for Matt Barnes on the Clippers' plane, but the NBA trade deadline came and went without him being moved.With each minute that extended past their scheduled departure time, the tensions began to grow as players who were rumored to be traded, refreshed the Twitter pages on their smart phone and checked text messages.
"The plane was a sweatbox today," said Matt Barnes, who was prominent in trade talks with the New York Knicks for Iman Shumpert. "It's just a business and it's tough. We sat on that plane for almost two hours looking around in silence, looking at Twitter.
"No one was really talking. We were looking around and the captain said [the delay was caused by] bad weather and we're like, 'Yeah, bulls---, we're waiting for that trade deadline.' I'm just glad it's over.
In fact, the plane began moving shortly before the noon PT deadline in Los Angeles but then had to stop.
Antawn Jamison had been traded to the Atlanta Hawks and Byron Mullens had been traded to the Philadelphia 76ers.
"I saw that the trade was official and then saw that it wasn't," Barnes said. "And then saw that Antawn got traded and then saw that Byron got traded. We had to stop the plane to let them off."
No one on the plane was more nervous than Barnes, who signed a three-year deal worth about $12 million in the offseason to be with the Clippers and closer to home. Barnes actually took less so that the Clippers would also be able to sign Darren Collison to a two-year deal for about $2 million. Both players were in talks to be sent to the New York Knicks for Shumpert and Raymond Felton.
"It's tough," Barnes said. "Any time you lose teammates and your team is your family it's tough to see those guys go, but for me personally I was sweating the whole time. Someone said the trade was official so I said, 'OK, I'm out of here' and then Blake [Griffin] said, 'No, I saw it's not official' so then I'm like, 'OK, maybe I'm not out of here.' "
Barnes was able to breathe a sigh of relief when the deadline passed and the plane finally took off for Memphis.
"I don't even look at Twitter that much, but I was on that thing refreshing constantly," Barnes said. "It's a tough situation to play so well last year and to have so many ups and downs this season, but it's a business and the team's got to do what's best for them. It leaves us in a tough predicament as players, but that's what they pay us for."
Clippers coach Doc Rivers said the trades of Jamison and Mullens were made more for salary cap reasons and roster flexibility than anything else after the team conducted a practice Wednesday night after arriving in Memphis.
"That's more cap relief for the summer," Rivers said. "Those are tough ones for me from a coaching standpoint, to do a move that is not necessarily making your team better, [those] are difficult moves, but from a team standpoint it was the right thing to do because it gives us a little more cap relief."
Perhaps because he was on the phone and not refreshing his Twitter, Rivers said he didn't think the trade deadline was that eventful.
"It really wasn't as much as people thought," Rivers said. "I was amused at all the stories. We were in discussions with a lot of people but nothing, it never got anywhere."
The Clippers currently have 12 players on the roster and will need to add another player at some point, but Rivers said he didn't think it would happen this week.
"I don't think we're in any rush," Rivers said. "We may be at 12 for a while. We're out looking and there's some guys out there, there really is, and buyout season could happen pretty soon too so that's the next new thing that we can talk about."
When Rivers was asked about possibly adding a former player of his to the team such as Glen Davis, who was reportedly negotiating a buyout with the Orlando Magic, he said, "I don't know. We'll see."
Whomever the Clippers sign to fill out the roster, the players who left the practice floor in Memphis on Thursday night were glad they were not going anywhere and would finish out the season together.
"I'm just relieved that it's over and now our only focus is winning games with the group we have," Barnes said. "We know we have enough of what it takes to win it."
Wake up call.
I was thinking that. Maybe Barnes can get his head out of his butt and get his mojo going else we will want to trade him.
Too bad our SFs will likely continue their low level of play....
That clearing cap stuff was weak because Jamison was an expiring and it was Doc's weird ass who gave Mullens a second year with a freakin player option. Its whatever now soon as guys clear wavier bring them on and stop wasting time and making excuses.
Barnes is so annoying this season. Not just his play, but his whole demeanor and personality.
I find it funny how half of you guys on here talk so much trash on our coach and players. You guys sound like divas always wanting things your way you guys sound like laker fans and it's annoying. Doc is the coach for a reason and of they have him the GM job it's for a reason he's basketball knowledge is very high and of he's the GM he gets to build a team he feels would win a chip. Which by the way he has. Like someone just said Matt Barns has been annoying. Let me ask you this who was our second best player in the playoffs last year matt Barnes because Blake was kinda injured who stood up for Blake this year matt Barnes and if something big happened again you can bet matt would stick up for his whole team again. So stop acting and sounding like divas be a true fan and support your team the players and the GM even if he makes a couple mistakes it's his first year.
Barnes was good in the elimination game - it's not blasphemy to say he has been terrible this season. For the record, I never thought they should bring him back (last year was a contract year and an anomaly). So when he plays bad and has a crappy attitude, I feel justified in pointing it out. His whole behavior about potentially getting traded felt unprofessional.
Lol divas.. I'm actually happy with our team compare last years team.. i know we're gonna make it to the finals this year and win that ring and I'm more confident and comfortable on saying that for our team this year
Or maybe not. Best to judge after the season. Glass half full..
Clippers DA well look at it this way he wouldn't want to be traded he loves this team and his teammates he loves the city. of course he wouldn't want to be traded and yea he's played like **** but everyone has their ups and downs he's giving us more than duds has.
I get why he didn't want to leave - but look at how Danny granger handled it. You think he was thrilled? No. But he was classy. Barnes was making the trade deadline all about him. Saying he will play like it is his last game and just sucking.
Hi! Matt Barnes has been playing like a bum lately. When he has the ball and is about to shoot a layup, it either misses badly or gets blocked... if he throws a pass? Turnover! Shoots a 3? Brick!
I like Barnes and was happy when he signed, but this guy can't do anything right, at least not at the moment. I hope he becomes bench again and also plays a lot better. We're gonna need him.
Dudley should still be starting over Barnes. He's the better player and has been for years.
They have been similar level / impact players for most of their careers. Dudley is the better shooter and has obviously been the more consistent player, especially on offense for their careers. The reason I would say Dudley should start is that Dudley has had a huge dropoff from starter to bench, while Barnes has stayed almost the same. So to get maximal production from both, it seems like Dudley starting works better.
Barnes starter:
28.3 mins, 7.6 pts, 3.6 rebs, 2.1 asts, 99 Ortg, 37.0% 3PT, .508 TS%
Dudley starter:
28.6 mins, 8.7 pts, 2.2 rebs, 1.6 asts, 104 Ortg, 37.9% 3PT, .558 TS%
Barnes bench:
21.7 mins, 7.1 pts, 4.3 rebs, 1.4 asts, 94 Ortg, 26.6% 3PT, .471 TS%
Dudley bench:
18.2 mins, 4.4 pts, 2.2 rebs, 1.1 asts, 99 Ortg, 23.5% 3PT, .471 TS%
Dudley was actually scoring more than Barnes is as a starter and more efficiently. Rebounds at SF seem to decrease as a starter and increase on the bench because Dudley's bench 2.2 rebs in 18.2 minutes is 4.4 rebs/36 which would be good for him if he was doing that as a starter. Barnes on the other hand dropped from 7.1 rebs/36 off the bench to 4.6 rebs/36 as a starter, though the sample size isn't conclusive of anything, just an observation, it is an interesting thing to notice.
I don't know, the patterns in production at SF on this team is really weird. At least as a starter though, Dudley was killing it in home games on offense. Now he just sucks everywhere.
The problem with Dudley being in the 2nd unit is that, it's just a different team out there. 2nd unit looks like Vinny Del Negro returned... Barnes did ok in that mess last year, but Dudley seems to benefit more with ball movement from CP3, Blake, DJ, and JJ.
Maybe when he sobers up from that Cabo trip he'll get it,he is in fact expendable.
A while back Doc mentioned that he was hoping playing Dudley less would get his knee all the way better by the post season, so at least part of Barnes starting and playing more might be limiting Dudley's minutes for that.
They've both been pretty bad this year, but I do think Dudley has been a little less bad; most of our big wins this year came at the start of year when Dudley was playing more and Barnes was barely playing. Both are slumping, but Dudley is a little better at minimizing the team level damage done by his poor play than Barnes (lower turnover rate, misses less shots, defers more to better players, less mistake prone of defense even if he's outmatched physically more).
While Redick is out hopefully Bullock gets run as our main backup SG and makes a good impression, if he does that then he should be right in the mix for SF minutes too.
Agreed with this before I even saw the numbers. Barnes works well in transition, when he's running the floor and cutting to the basket for layups. We saw it with Bledsoe running the offense and we've seen it with Collison. Our starters' offense is designed to get open 3's for our wings and he has been dismal from there. Dudley may have slipped from his career numbers, but he's much, much better as a 3pt threat than Barnes.
I think the reason both of them rebound better coming off the bench is pretty simple... more minutes without DJ, Blake or both grabbing all the boards. If Hollins, Mullens, Jamison and Turk were my "competition", I'd sure as hell grab a lot more boards... even from the PG spot.
Paul, if you love someone let 'em go....to L.A.
Should be an easy sell if money will play no part in it.
Pretty hard for Pierce and KG to say anything negative about him coming here when they had their own bags packed before Stern stepped in.
He will get ample playing time here if he has even a modicum of consistency. More than Brooklyn.
Our SF position needs way more consistency, hopefully Barnes and Dudley start playing better and more motivated after almost being traded.
Whoops! I didn't mean to put the Big Baby tweets in this thread. Whateva whateva I do what I want.
Barnes, who signed a 3-year, $12 million deal in the offseason, says he's playing more freely now than he did before, not because he no longer has to worry about being traded but because he thinks this could be his last season in Los Angeles and doesn't want to hold anything back if it is.
"Since the trade deadline I think I know my days are numbered here," Barnes said. "So, I'm going to out there and have fun and play as a hard as I can and help the team in any way. I think I was thinking too much and trying to read into trades and this and that."
Motivated him like it should but this quote alone makes me worry if he becomes a chemistry problem.
http://espn.go.com/blog/los-angeles/cli ... r-clippers
Doubt he is moved unless Carmelo takes a paycut and we need to clear cap during the offseason.
Why would it make you worry? I think he's saying he cares about this team a lot but knows there is going to be a point where this team outgrows him. he just wants to enjoy the time he has left with us is all. I find that very refreshing. It also makes me respect him that much more.
He would be moved if we were getting an upgrade and moving him would facilitate that, doesn't really need to be Carmelo. As of now he'll be here and get minutes.
Players like him can't really think there's zero chance of them being moved, especially when their production is down.
Know what I'm sick of? New posters that haven't proven jack around here coming onto the site and labeling everybody, criticizing people they don't know, and calling out others fanhood. If you don't agree fine, but you need to review the forum rules before posting further or you're going to run into problems around here. NOTHING on this forum should be a personal critique or attack of other posters. That post is actually grounds to give an official warning but the ONLY reason I'm not is because it's 3 days old and I missed it. Let it be a verbal warning for future posts.
I lean that way too. It's clearly had the impact we all hoped for. I just hope it doesn't boil over in the future if he doesn't think the team has his back is all.
MB has had a couple good games in a row. He needs to keep it up. But we definitely need wing help!!
Fixed that for you.
And I see nothing wrong with the quote. In fact, it sounds like he's had a wake-up call considering how terribly he had been playing.
Is anyone really surprised by what this guy says or does? There's a reason why he's bounced around from team to team in his career. He's a good role player, but eventually becomes a knucklehead to the point that the team just can't take it anymore. You would think he would have gotten the message by now but I guess not.
He along with Collinson, Dudley, Green and Hollins who's all days are numbered. I think maybe only 1 of those returns next season not named Green or Hollins.
Maybe Matt knows he's playing like diaper dump. If he plays well he probably won't get traded. When he plays well, he and Collison are keepers. Wasn't last year a career year for him? Maybe he's paranoid from being bounced around. Maybe he should shut up
Well in all fairness he doesn't have the typical NBA background. Ever since his Rookie season he's had to work his A@@ off to stay in the NBA, and there were many times were I watched him play for other teams and I thought he should have been starting and getting more minutes, but wasn't for some reason or another. I think he just cares allot about this team specifically and is still a bit bitter from past experiences, and after taking less money to come back here for what he thought would be Security with this team then seeing his name in trade discussion, I can understand were he's coming from. But with that said I can also see the Teams perspective, were trying to do something unheard of around here and sometimes it means getting rid of Loyal but under performing players. But if he keeps playing the way he's playing of late, I doubt this will be an issue, for him or the team.
I like Matt Barnes.
Not to long ago players didn't want to come to the Clippers, it was like being banished to Siberia. Now, Matt showed that he was dying just at the thought of possibly having to leave. He works hard but isn't a premier player. But coach, who knows more than all of us put together, is starting him. We don't have the cap space to bring in a Carmelo level player at the 3. If Granger comes, it will be a rental for a couple of months because we likely wouldn't have the money to pay him next year. Matt is the reality we have at the moment. He was supposed to be coming off the bench but Dudley didn't perform. Embrace him, he bleeds Clippers colors. I know if I am in a bind, I would like to have Matt Barnes saying "Don't worry I got your back."
he plays with heart, and you can't learn that
He had 2 sprained ankles last night and still played - enough said....
This is one of the reasons why I don't post as often and just lurk and read these days. At least when we were losing and heading to the lottery every year, you knew the people that we're posting here were likely real fans lol
Maybe those are Lakers fans who doesn't want to post in the lakers topbuzz because they don't want to know what's the latest of the Lakers
Overly dramatic imo.
I actually feel the Barnes situation.
At my work place, they got lots of spots ( I guess teams) and our manager (came in 8 months ago) has been talking about this other fella who does what I do at another location. Been hearing for a good portion of a year that she wants him at our place. Long be hold, last month I was told I was being shipped out and will bring him in in a 1 week trade. (This so they can see how he holds)
They kept me waiting for a month. It has been in the back of my head. There is not much I can do but do my job.
Still, it bothers the sh!t out of me. Now it is official. Next week he will be in my place and I will be in his.
And yet, I do not earn the millions that Matt does.
Don't be a lamar! Matt u are better than that.
Trades are a part of life and matt hadn't been playing to his contract until two games ago.
I hope it lasts but who knows.
I think Matt really thought he would finally stay in one place longer than a year (and not be part of any trade talks) after he signed his first real long-term contract last summer. It meant a lot to him, I'm sure, and it meant stability for him and his family.
However, due to injuries this season and playing subpar games until the last two games, he was probably feeling a lot of pressure to perform and was hoping the Clippers would give him more time to get his health and act together before tossing his name in the trade banter. It just goes to show that basketball is first and foremost a business and players have to always keep in mind that they may be traded at a drop of a hat regardless of the length of their contract.
On a positive note, I'm relieved Matt is still on the team this season. I really hope he continues his stellar play and make great contributions well into the playoffs.
Matt keep up the good work and your days are not numbered.
The only bad luck you had was that mister Dudley is so great that we had to give you a starting spot and you couldn't handle it, i don't blame you because you're a benchplayer who gives us a spark from coming off the bench like last season.
So we were in panic mode and the value of Dudley was zero.
So i'm glad you re still on the team and prove most people wrong with the performance from your last two games. Keep it up.
Matt repeated it again postgame in the Pelicans game. He said "I'm just playing loose because these could be my last 3 months in a Clippers uniform. I'm going to give my all until this summer". I don't know why he's being emotionally affected by trade rumors after 11 years in the league and like 9 teams. It's good that it lit a fire under his ass but he needs to know that as long as he brings it every game and plays hard, he has a home here. It's never too late to turn it around. Hell if Jared Dudley suddenly starts playing well and sustains it till the end of the season, I'm sure we'd all come around.
I have a bit of sympathy for him. Matt may have thought that he found a home here, I sure did once we signed him. The truth is, if our team as an organization sees a chance to better the team the only untradeable players are probably Blake and CP3 (maybe DJ next year if he makes another tremendous leap forward). I think Matt realized that even though us fans love him, and the team loves him, and very likely the staff he is not irreplaceable. It's like Reggie, he was a fan favorite and a solid back up (which we would all have loved to have back); but he was expendable to the team as an organization.
I read an article of how the CBA hurts teams ( http://hoopshype.com/columns/bernie-lee/why-the-cba-is-bad-for-almost- everyone) and in the article it speaks on how the most favorable contracts are 2nd round rookie contracts. I'm not saying Matt is going to get replaced by some 2nd round rookie, but I will say that his contract doesn't look as favorable as it may have seemed in the beginning of the season. I'm not saying his contract is a terrible contract, but think that there are other options out there. I think he has realized this too, and knows that if there are so many other variables to the equation. Mike Miller got let go from Miami (I know he wasn't on the friendliest contract), and we can go through the years and see countless other solid role players for championship teams get cut or released in some form or another.
I like how Matt has reacted on the court. I know it's early, but if he just let's go and plays basketball he can still be very helpful. I think he was trying to do to much to show his worth to the team. He was forcing a lot of stuff. When he plays his game he is so much more productive, and sometimes it's in ways that don't show up on the box score.

In disputes over property ownership, the saying "possession is nine-tenths of the law" frequently comes into play.
On a beautiful, sunny Wednesday afternoon at St. Mary-of-the-Woods College, the host Pomeroys were reminded that lack of possession usually leads to defeat in women's soccer.
That proved to be the case in this annual battle of cross-county rivals as four different Rose-Hulman players scored — three in the first half — to lead the possession-minded Engineers over The Woods 4-1.
"They possessed the ball better," Woods coach Mike Aycock admitted. "In the first half, the looks they got at goal were all good looks."
"We did possess the ball," Rose coach Amy Helliwell mentioned. "We've been working on that in practice lately and it showed today.
"We've also been working on switching the point of attack. I thought we did that a lot better today than what we had done in previous games."
Rose-Hulman outshot the Pomeroys 28-7 to earn its seventh consecutive win in the series.
Rose sophomore Rachel Johnstone chalked up the first goal on a double assist from Nicky Wheeler and Anna Vogel.
"That was good passing and a good finish," Helliwell noted.
The visitors pushed their advantage to 2-0 a short time later when senior Carolyn Guzik found the back of the net on a pass from Vogel.
The Engineers padded their cushion to 3-0 on a goal by freshman Haley O'Neil with an assist from Wheeler in the 29th minute. O'Neil got around The Woods' goalkeeper on the right side and booted the ball in from close range.
Perhaps the prettiest goal of the day was posted by The Woods' Jessica Black, who kicked it from the left corner and watched it gradually curve into the net with 9:01 left in the first half.
"That was a lovely touch," Aycock remarked, "but that's kind of her forte."
Almost 14 minutes into the second half, Rose-Hulman registered the final tally of the match on a close-range kick from sophomore Cassie Cox after the ball ricocheted like a pinball in front of the Pomeroys' net.
Afterward, Aycock found a bright side to his squad's seventh loss in as many matches this season.
"We've had some injuries, so we're short on players," he explained. "So we couldn't cover the field as well as they could. But I think we stayed organized, even though we couldn't cover the field quite as well as we would have liked."
The Pomeroys, who wore pink shirts Wednesday in conjunction with "Breast Cancer Awareness Month," will try to pick up their first victory Friday in a home match against Andrews University.
Rose (4-7) will visit Hanover for a Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference clash Saturday.
"The girls have to build on this [triumph over The Woods] and take it into Saturday and play with the passion and intensity that we need," Helliwell emphasized.
Rose-Hulman 3 1 — 4
St. Mary-of-the-Woods 1 0 — 1
RH — Rachel Johnstone (Nicky Wheeler, Anna Vogel), 32:31 1H
RH — Carolyn Guzik (Vogel), 31:02 1H

'Tangled Up in You" by Rachel Gibson (Avon Books, $6.99, paperback) is a simple, uncomplicated, pure romance that is easy and fun to read.
Maddie has a secret, and there is a bit of romantic tension.
But there is no lurking evil, no eerie suspense, no mystery to solve. Just romance.
Maddie comes to Truly, Idaho, to visit her past. She left her friends (Clare from "I'm in No Mood for Love," Lucy from "Sex, Lies and Online Dating" and Adele, whose story will be published next fall) to write a story about her mother's murder.
Mick runs a bar in Truly and doesn't really want to talk about the past tragedy, when his mother shot and killed his father and his girlfriend -- Maddie's mom.
He also doesn't want to get tangled up with Maddie. But he falls for her the moment she walks into his bar.
And keeps falling.
Maddie and Mick get closer and closer, but Maddie never reveals her real last name or tells Mick why she's interested in writing a book about his parents' deaths.
Meanwhile, Mick falls in love with Maddie. And vice versa. But seconds after they exchange those three little words, Maddie has to confess.
Mick isn't happy.
That results in about 50 pages of discontent between the two. But it also sets up a happy ending that is vintage romance.
How it stacks up
Overall rating: 3-plus of 5 hearts. It's an easy-to-read, tear-inducing romance with witty and endearing characters.
Hunk appeal: 10. Mick has his moments -- both ways. Sure, he has the right to be angry with Maddie's deception, but he's a bit too harsh about it. Still, he grovels very well.
Steamy scene grade: XXXX. This would be one of the good ways.
Happily-ever-after: Good. Mick does hold a grudge for a while, but he gives Maddie her happily-ever-after beautifully with words like, "I was waiting for you," and "I'm tangled up in you" and "I've been one miserable. ..." Well, enough said.
Dusty shelf
Many great romance novels have been written through the years. It's worth dusting off these oldies.
"Mercy" by Julie Garwood is well-written, with characters who come alive immediately. It's the sort of book that makes you panic as you near the end because you don't want it to end.
Theo, a Buchanan brother, delves into mayhem and murder while falling deliriously in love with Michelle. A Justice Department lawyer, Theo proves pretty handy in the swamps of Louisiana with some nasty bad guys chasing him and Michelle.
Of course, Michelle is no shrinking, or shrieking, damsel in distress. The surgeon stays cool in dangerous situations, whether she's dodging bullets or Theo's advances.
One, she avoids. The other, she succumbs to.
"Mercy" has a complex, suspenseful plot that blends beautifully with the romance and humorous scenes between Theo and Michelle's family and neighbors in Bowen, La.
