Kathleen Falk, Madison, WI and Louis Brandeis
by MAL Contends, Mon Feb 16, 2009 at 03:30:41 AM EST
"They conferred, as against the Government, the right to be let alone - the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by civilized men. To protect that right, every unjustifiable intrusion by the Government upon the privacy of the individual, whatever the means employed, must be deemed a violation of the Fourth Amendment."
- Justice Louis Dembitz Brandeis, (the "People's Attorney") dissenting opinion in Olmstead v. United States (1928)
Think Madison, Wisconsin, and surrounding Dane County, and you are likely to think: Progressive, civil rights and a secular culture existing peacefully with the second largest public research University in the world.
Mostly, you would be right. But there are a couple of vital exceptions: Dane County District Attorney Brian Blanchard [the best line I heard/read about him is that Blanchard should be sentenced to 30 days reading the disquisitions of Robert Jackson on prosecutorial discretion].
And secondly, an appalling effort under way to install police roadblocks, led by Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk who is dedicated to decimating the Fourth Amendment in the city named after the father of the Constitution.
The American electorate is regularly treated to examples of Democrats and liberals going along to get along with the powers that be.

The Tri-City Americans have two games remaining before they head home for their Christmas break. They play at rival Spokane tonight, and despite the enthusiasm that generally comes with a matchup against the Chiefs, the mood around the Americans dressing room was somber Friday afternoon.
The Tri-City players had been tweeting during the day about the elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., where 20 children were shot and killed, along with six adults.
When you think about what just has happened, you have to think about their families this close to Christmas, said Americans alternate captain Jesse Mychan. Its just a tragedy. I know all the guys (in the dressing room) are disgusted. We were just talking about it. Our hearts go out to their families, for sure. Its just heartbreaking. Parents drop them off at school and never get to see them again. I cant even imagine what they are going through.
Its during times of tragedy that sports can bring a little normalcy back to peoples lives, and Mychan said he and his teammates can lean on each other.
You come to the rink, you have a family to talk to and you can open up to each other, he said. We know we have each others back and we will be by each others side.
The Americans (18-12-1-2, 38 points) need to pull together as a team tonight and Tuesday when they travel to Kent to take on the Seattle Thunderbirds. They are 4-5-0-1 in their last 10 games and are losing ground on U.S. Division-leading Portland (26-5-1-0, 53 points) and second-place Spokane (23-8-1-0, 47 points).
We are desperate for a win right now, Mychan said. We need to pull something together. It will be a big weekend for us. We need these two wins before Christmas.
Mychan is one of a few veterans in a scoring slump at the moment. Mychan last scored a goal Nov. 24 against Spokane, and he has no points in his last seven games.
Captain Justin Feser has one goal in nine games and Lucas Nickles, who started the season on roll, has one goal in his last 20 games.
On the upside, rookies Beau McCue and Parker Bowles and veteran Connor Rankin have been solid.
Those guys are picking up the slack for us, Mychan said. Good to know we have scoring all around. We just have to bring our best effort every time we play. Its bound to turn around for us.
The Chiefs are 4-0-1-0 against the Americans this season, but the games have been close.
The last couple of games in Spokane we have been right there, Tri-City coach Jim Hiller said. We just have to get over the hump the last 6-7 minutes. Our young players have been forced to play a lot of minutes and they have played well. But its the same old story you have to score and we just havent been scoring enough.
Notes: Chiefs assistant Coach Jon Klemm will be the acting head coach while Don Nachbaur is serving as an assistant for Team Canada at the World Junior Championships. Klemm will be joined on the bench by former Chiefs captain Kevin Sawyer. ... The Chiefs lead the regular-season series with the Americans 147-126-2-5 with 13 ties over 25 years.

Martin's new Magnum 2500 Hz™ is a compact plug-and-play hazer. The Magnum 2500 Hz uses a 900W heat exchanger to punch out a full 2500 m³/min of uniform haze for mid-air projection or atmosphere enhancement.
This portable hazer heats up fast and is continuously operational for a "set it and forget it" effect. Its 3.8-liter fluid capacity (1 US gallon) provides folong runs when needed. Haze output and on/off timing are controllable via a remote control that can be stored in its own compartment.
The Magnum 2500, like all Magnum products, incorporates Jem technology such as new electronics, overheat protection, and fluid-out sensing. The Magnum 2500 also features a new design to match the rest of the Magnum family.
"The introduction of the Magnum 2500 Hz underscores the fact that Martin means business when it comes to reinventing the design of smoke machines," states Martin Smoke Division product manager Ulrich Borup Hansen. "Our entire portfolio of small-to-medium-sized fog machines in the Magnum product line has been updated in terms of design and technology, and now we complete the line with a matching hazer. The plug-and-play concept with primary focus on ease of use and reliability is once again the driving force behind this new product."
The Magnum 2500 Hz completes the Magnum range and joins the Magnum Hazer and Jem ZR24/7 Hazer in Martin's hazer product line.

The meme on this story is that this is homegrown terrorism. I thought you would actually have to be born here to qualify but I guess not…
The RCMP dismantled an alleged Ottawa terrorist cell with suspected links to al-Qaeda Wednesday morning, making two arrests and saying more are expected.
The men are suspected of preparing a terrorist attack targeting Canada. The ringleader allegedly attended training camps in the Pakistan and Afghanistan region.
But the bomb plot was described as not well-defined and the arrests were apparently made on Wednesday because one of the suspects was preparing to travel abroad.
The suspects have not been named publicly. – National Post

The only house of worship destroyed on 9/11 was the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church. So far efforts to get approval to rebuild the church have been rebuffed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Seems that some people's religious freedom is more important than others.
While we may disagree on the appropriateness of the Mosque, we can surely agree that it is an issue of national importance that the only house of worship actually destroyed on September 11, 2001, the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, be rebuilt. For the last year, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has refused to meet with Church officials and has placed bureaucratic roadblocks in way of rebuilding St. Nicholas Church. – IndyPosted

Obama gets schooled by a muslim who seems to understand…
Mr. President this is not about religious freedom. It is about the importance of the World Trade Center site to the psyche of the American People. It is about a blatant attack on our sovereignty by people whose ideology ultimately demands the elimination of our way of life. While Imam Faisal Rauf may not share their violent tendencies he does seem to share a belief that Islamic structures are a political statement and even Ground Zero should be looked upon through the lens of political Islam and not a solely American one.
As a Muslim desperate to reform his faith, your remarks take us backwards from the day that my faith will come into modernity. I do not stand to eliminate Imam Rauf's religious freedom; I stand to make sure that my children's religious freedom will be determined by the liberty guaranteed in the American Constitution and not by clerics or leaders who are apologists for shar'iah law and will tell me what religious freedom is.
'Park 51′, 'The Cordoba House' or whatever they are calling it today should not be built, not because it is not their right to do it – but because it is not right to do it." – Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser

This will work out great in November and beyond, good news indeed.
At a White House celebration of Ramadan tonight in the company of representatives of several of the Nation's most prominent Muslim Brotherhood front organizations, President Obama announced his strong support for one of their most immediate objectives: the construction of a mega-mosque and "cultural center" at Ground Zero. In so doing, he publicly embraced the greatest tar-baby of his presidency. – Big Peace
Via The Corner:
The president has long been governing against the will of the American people. It's good to see, concretely, whose will his governance favors. Given the choice between the 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America and ISNA, Obama chooses ISNA.

Informal discovery is an indispensable part of the fact development process and is dominated by web-based resources available to cunning litigators sleuthing the Internet. One resource particularly helpful in patent litigation is the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine—which enables attorneys to find prior art webpages that are no longer accessible on the Internet.
In this interview, the Commissioner for Patents at the USPTO discusses the America Invents Act, patent harmonization, and the current trend of allowing more patents.
Augmented reality technology is rapidly transitioning from emerging technology into the mainstream, and will raise intellectual property considerations that no one has yet anticipated. How will principles of copyright, trademark, patent, and publicity rights law adapt?
The Federal Circuit's decision in ResQNet wrought havoc on the standards for the discovery and admission of patent settlements and settlement negotiations. Some of the confusion was resolved with the decisions in MSTG and LaserDynamics, but many questions remain unanswered.
In cases of copyright infringement where indirect profits are at issue, the plaintiff must first prove a causal connection between the use of the original work and final sales of a product. This article considers the plaintiff's problem in proving this connection, and the moral hazards that may result.
The URS System is designed to give trademark owners a fast and inexpensive way to combat cybersquatting and other forms of trademark infringement by domain name registrants, and it should be incorporated in a trademark owner's arsenal of weapons to combat online intellectual property infringement.
In an effort to promote licensing, PCT applicants may now submit form PCT/IB/382, informing others that a patent application is available for licensing. It is unclear, however, what consequences may result from submitting this form in countries with compulsory licensing rules.

For the third time in two years Howard County has prevailed with the Indiana Board of Tax Review after local businesses claimed they should be considered exempt from paying property taxes.
The board ruled Jan. 14 against the appeal filed by Bradford Run Apartments that they should be tax exempt because they provide housing for low-income families.
Bradford Run sought a 100 percent tax exempt status for 2010 taxes payable in 2011 and 2011 taxes payable in 2012. If successful the apartment complex would not have paid property taxes in the future.
The exemption request was denied by Jamie Shepherd, Howard County Assessor, and the Howard County Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals. Those denials were appealed to the Indiana Board of Tax Review, and a hearing was conducted last October.
Bradford Run contended it was eligible for a 100 percent tax exemption because it was owned, occupied and used for charitable purposes. The complex is owned by the Indianapolis based Buckingham Foundation, a non-profit organization.
Angie Atkins, senior property manager for Bradford Run, said at the October hearing that 75 percent of the residents are at 80 percent of the local adjusted median income and 20 percent of that population is at 50 percent or less of the adjusted median income.
During the hearing Shepherd said that the Indiana Tax Court stated that being granted tax-exempt status is a privilege because all property receives protection, security and services from the government, such as police protection.
She argued when a property is given tax exempt status it shifts the amount of taxes to other property owners and it would have given Bradford Run a competitive advantage over other apartment complexes in the county.
A rent study showed that Bradford Run did not give low-income tenants a lower monthly rental fee and that there was no correlation between income and rents.
As a result of the ruling, Bradford Run, which has an assessed value of $8.7 million in real and personal property, will pay annual taxes of approximately $187,000.
Shepherd said if Bradford Run had been granted tax exempt status, the county would have had to refund $387,000 to the Buckingham Foundation.
"Buckingham Foundation is providing great services, but it does not appear that it is providing discounted rents for lower income individuals or families," she said of Bradford Run. "We were able to show multiple examples where higher income residents were being charged rent less than or equal to lower income residents."
The Vinton Woods Apartments and Correctional Management, which operated the former Kokomo Academy, both lost appeals before the Indiana Board of Tax Review when they sought tax exempt status.

2013 and Earlier - Toyota Sienna Prices Paid and Buying Experience
XLE with navigation package, blind spot monitor, 10" DVD player (Distributer installed DVD) and window tint for MSRP of $39018. Bought it last Thursday for $35200 out of the door in north Houston, TX. Comes out to 32870+ 2055 (tax) +275(fees). Also great service from the dealer team( specially the sales manger). It was my first dealer I contacted but I couldn't resist and bought it on the spot. I hope it was a good deal. Got The loan from PenFed to get this price.
sbpceap1 Posts: 5Van2013's price for an XLE sounds much better than what the dealer offered to mmuller2 (post#12178, above), but you have to consider the Toyota rebate. In some of the Gulf states it is $2000, while where I am in the Northeast the rebate is $750. For some of us, it may pay to travel!!!
borik1234 Posts: 5Just took a delivery on a base (the only options were mats, mudguards and couple more minor things) XLE AWD for $33K + D&H + Taxes.
We were considering paying extra $2K for Navigation and BSM but decided we can live without them - would have been $35K otherwise
Both prices include the Toyota $1K rebate.
Wasted several days dealing with Stevenson Toyota East - and ended up getting this price at Autonation in about 20 min.
SouthEast Michigan deal:
got costco pricing at 32,495.00. Dealer said that's 300 below invoice, won't budged when I asked for another 500 off, so I walked out. They called back today, willing to drop 350 more to bring me back. This is set in stone, no way in hell they are dropping 500, that's made very clear. This would bring me of 2934 below MSRP. Should I take this deal? This is for XLE 2013 with add on of floor mats, roof rack, and lower body molding.
I read the post by van2013, and he got 6148.00 off MSRP??? I have no clue how that is even possible. I'm breaking teeth just to get close to 2900 below MSRP. I used costo pricing to set the bar, but it's no where near the deal van2013 got. Heck, it's cheaper to by it in Houston and ship it to Michigan (800 shipping cost).
Anyone feel Van2013 deal is extraordinary? truecar average saving is about 3K off MSRP.
For those of you having hard time negotiating a good deal, you can always try fitzmall.com. They are in MD, their standard price is about 5k off MSRP and they used to ship cars to other states (I'm not sure if they still do). Few years ago I considered buying from them but I was able to get a reasonable deal in Houston. The link below is for the XLE prices. Good luck everyone. If you are closer to Houston, let me know and I'll send you to the man who sold me my van, you maybe able to get a good deal also.
http://www.fitzmall.com/Inventory/SearchResults?Conditions=NEW&Makes=Toyota&Mode- ls=Sienna&Trims=5dr+8-Pass+Van+V6+XLE+FWD+&Styles=&Prices=&Regions=ALL&Stores=&K- eyWordSearch=&Sort=Price-DESC&inventoryGrid_length=10&Wholesale=&UseCriteria=tru- e
those are all very good prices, I wonder why my dealership would let me walk out, when they could have dropped 500 buck less and probably would still make some profit.
Quick question tho, why did you need to get a loan when Toyota have 0% down, 0% interest for 60 months.
I could wait for a better deal, but by taking the 0% now, I think it will save a lot in the long run.
decision time!
wow, that's a nice rate from Penfed. Right now, they offers 0% or 1500 cash back. Assuming that I would get the lowest rate at 1.99 (with credit score of 801), it would put my interest around 646.65. So, taking the 1500.00 cash back incentive makes sense. Still not as sweet as the 2000 cash back tho. You got a hell of a deal, buddy.
santiagoanders Posts: 1I've tried to get one at or slightly below invoice (at least according to edmunds invoice pricing) at two dealerships so far and I had to walk out after making this offer (31000 OTD).
This would be divided:
$28950 for the car
$240 fees
$1810 taxes
Take the current $2000 rebate off that and it would mean I'd get the car for $26950. But although Edmunds suggests this is below invoice, Truecar seems to indicate this is only slightly below average for my area on this model.
What does anybody else think?
Just got a 2013 xle 8 seat with navigation, door molding, roof cross bar, carpet/door seal for a few hundred lower than 35700. Had to walk out the door to get them to lower the few hundred. Bought from Tustin Toyota, Daniel Tsai. also got the 100k miles 7yr extended warranty for 1900 and 55k miles/5 year prepaid maintenance for 800. Hope I got a good deal.

PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL (WPEC/CNN) – A former adult film entertainer is running for a seat on a county school board in Florida.
"Lawsuits like mine happen because of poor decision making and that's why I'm running for the board," David Mech said.
Mech is running for a seat on the Palm Beach County, FL school board. He's a Boca Raton, FL tutor and former adult film actor and adult film business owner that spent hundreds of dollars advertising his math tutoring business at several Palm Beach County schools.
Those schools removed his signs, saying adult entertainment is not a compatible partner with education.
"I don't know why any rational school board would want to prevent a well-educated, non-violent, strong math tutor from access to their population," Mech said.
Mech filed a federal discrimination lawsuit against the school board – the same school board he now wants a seat on.
"The current school board, I believe, is deficient in areas related to technology, innovation, equality sex education and secular values," Mech said.
Mech says what happened to him, and his suit against the school board, are factors in his decision to run.
"I'm trying to make date driven decisions that are beneficial to furthering education of Palm Beach County schools,"Mech said.
Mech says his case is scheduled to go to trial in federal court in November, the same month as the school board election.

How to turn photo geotagging on or off on your iPhone or iPad
When you launch the Camera app on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad for the first time it'll ask you if it can use your location. That uses Wi-Fi router mapping, and, if available, cell-tower triangulation and GPS to determine where you are and record that information along with the photo. In other words — geotagging. It's great if you want to keep track of where you took your pictures, like on a photo walk or a vacation, but if you want to protect your privacy and keep your location undisclosed, it's not so good. Luckily, even if you allowed location the first time, you can change your mind at any time.
How to enable or disable GPS location tagging on your iPhone or iPad
- Launch the Settings app from your iPhone or iPad Home screen.
- Tap on Privacy.
- Tap on Location Services.
- Toggle Camera to Off or **On* to disable or enable geotagging.
You can change your mind as often as you like, turning geotagging on when you want to use it, off when you don't.

Thanks for the Tips. Wished Apple put a toggle to turn GPS Co-ordinates off when taking a photo instead of having to alternate between the Camera and Settings App
The fwolloing is a message I do agree with all of the ideas you have presented on your postThey are really convincing and will certainly workStill, the posts are too quick for newbiesCould you please lengthen them a little from next time? Thanks for the post .
Check out GeoGone from the app store. It's free and I use it when emailing pictures. I have Location turned on so that I know where my pictures where taken, but I delete any location data from the photo before I email them.

U.S. Soldiers help ready Georgian infantry for Iraq
TBLISI, Georgia - A U.S. Army task force is currently training Georgia's 31st Light Infantry Battalion here for operations in support of the Global War on Terror. The 65-member team - spearheaded by Soldiers from U.S. Army, Europe's Joint Multinational Training Command in Grafenwoehr and Hohenfels, Germany - began training operations in July 2006.
The training is part of U.S. European Command's Georgia Sustainment and Stability Operation Program, which began in 2005, and includes training and equiping Georgian forces while also providing security assistance.
The 31st Light Infantry Battalion is the first of three such units the U.S. task force is training. The instruction takes place in 12-week rotations, during a nine-month period. The Georgians are taught light-infantry tactics and specialized training for the battalion's military police, reconnaissance, communications and medical elements. "We are not training the battalion in stability and support operations, and we're not running a mission-rehearsal exercise," Army Lt. Col. Craig Jones, task force commander, said. "We're doing individual and collective infantry training to get these soldiers proficient as a light infantry battalion."
The task force's goal is to assist the Georgian military in providing capable, trained units to sustain their next scheduled deployment to Iraq, where they will augment United Nations forces.
"This is about coalition building," Jones said. "[Georgia] is an important ally to the United States and a strong partner within the EUCOM and USAREUR region," Jones said. "Currently, Georgians are contributing about 850 soldiers on the ground in Iraq."
The American Soldiers responsible for training the Georgians have plenty of experience in preparing troops for combat. They routinely train U.S. servicemembers, as well as international troops, for deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan and other areas around the world for combat and peacekeeping operations.
"We've been working on their basic warfighting skills," said Army Maj. Buck O'Day, an infantry trainer. "We started with about four weeks of mostly individual training, and then progressed to small-unit direction, such as moving under direct fire."
Besides the obvious language challenges, the U.S. trainers find their biggest impediment here is left-over Soviet-style organizational practices, which rely on centralized leadership from commissioned officers, with little or no responsibility given to its noncommissioned officers or enlisted members.
Consequently, the U.S. military trainers stress the need for enlisted members, particularly noncommissioned officers, to take charge of unit operations by putting them in situations where they must lead.
"They have the fundamentals of operating as a light infantry battalion," Jones said. "They are improving daily. By working with us, they understand the benefits of how the U.S. Army does business versus the way most of them were trained with the Russian-based aspect. They are mentally and physically tough and learn rapidly."
A medical team from the 212th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in Miesau, Germany, a mobile training team of military policeman from the U.S. Army Military Police School in Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., and a communications team from Fort Gordon, Ga., are also here to augment the training the task force is providing.

Wolves claw Koalas, 6-3
Scarlet and gray construct first two match win streak since 2008
April 7, 2011
COLUMBIA, S.C. – The Newberry College women's tennis team made it two wins in a row as it traveled to Columbia College to take on the Fighting Koalas, emerging victorious via a 6-3 score.
The last time the Wolves won two in a row was in the 2008 season, beating Mars Hill 8-1 before besting Catawba 5-1 in a Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament quarterfinal match.
Despite the victory, things didn't start off on a promising note for the scarlet and gray. Marina Ziehe (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and Amanda Simmons (Saluda, S.C.) were shut out 8-0 by Lilit Martirosyan and Danielle Cupid to begin the doubles flights. Fortunately, the Wolves bounced right back.
Shannon McManus (Charleston, S.C.) and Lindsay Kyzer (Saluda, S.C.) doubled up Ashley Chapman and Raven Fair by an 8-4 score in the second doubles flight. The duo picked up their second win of the season.
Wrapping up the doubles matches for the Wolves were Sierra Hoover (Duncan, S.C.) and Sam Parrish (Angola, Ind.). The No. 3 squad made it 2-1 in favor of the Wolves with an 8-5 win over Abbagayle Stevenson and Casey Ripley. Hoover and Parrish scored their second win of the season and brought their doubles record back to .500.
Ziehe earned a measure of revenge in the No. 1 singles flight. The freshman battled her way to a hard fought 6-3, 4-6, 10-8 victory over Martirosyan, avenging her doubles loss against the Koala.
Simmons pushed the lead to 4-1 for the Wolves with a 6-2, 6-2 triumph over Cupid. McManus followed suit, improving her record to 4-12 with a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Stevenson.
The Koalas would not go down without a fight though. Parrish found herself on the wrong end of a 6-1, 6-2 score against Fair before Kyzer dropped a tight match to Champan 7-6 (7-3), 2-6, 12-10.
Hoover wrapped up the match with a 6-7 (5-7), 6-3, 13-11 victory over Ripley. The sophomore picked up her team leading seventh triumph of the season.
The Wolves return home and get back to their South Atlantic Conference schedule as they welcome the Mars Hill Lions to the Cannon Courts. The cats and dogs are set to do battle at 1 p.m. on April 9.

The San Antonio Talons are a professional arena football team based in San Antonio, Texas. They currently play in the Arena Football League (AFL). Their home arena is the Alamodome, following their relocation to San Antonio for the 2012 season.
The team was founded in 2000 as the Tulsa Talons of Tulsa, Oklahoma, a charter member of the AFL's defunct developmental league, af2. The Talons played in the af2 for ten seasons, and joined the Arena Football League in 2010 following its reorganization. After the 2011 season the team announced they would relocate to San Antonio. The Talons have won ArenaCup championships in 2003 and 2007, won eight af2 division championships, one AFL division championship, and made a total of eleven playoff appearances.

af2 Days[edit]
The Talons began in 2000 in Tulsa, Oklahoma as the Tulsa Talons, a charter member of the now-defunct minor league of Arena football Arena Football 2, also known as af2. In 2009 the Talons moved from their original home field at Tulsa Convention Center to the new 18,041 seat arena called the BOK Center.
In terms of victories and championships, the Talons were a successful af2 franchise. The Talons had more wins than any other team in af2 history. The Talons were the first af2 franchise to reach 100 overall franchise victories. During the existence of the league, the Talons did not have a losing season and appeared in all ten af2 playoffs. Also, the Tulsa Talons won two af2 championships, known as the ArenaCup, in the last eight years of the league. The Talons are also the team with the longest streak of consecutive seasons in the AFL system.
Former Head Coach Mitch Allner is the only person in af2 history to win a championship as both player and head coach. In 2004 the Talons were sold to a group led by Henry Primeaux, the owners of automobile dealerships in Oklahoma,[1][unreliable source?] and Paul Ross, an investor.[2] In 2009 three new owners were added to the group.[3]
Transition to AFL[edit]
In 2010, some af2 teams joined with a handful of AFL teams which had remained in operation after the cancellation of the 2009 season formed a new league that was to be named AF1. The Talons moved from the af2 and joined the league, which became the highest level of indoor American football.[4] However, the league soon decided to use the former Arena Football League name rather than AF1.
Move to San Antonio[edit]
On September 21, 2011, Talons chairman Paul Ross announced the team was moving to San Antonio due to less than desirable attendance and ticket sales.[5] The team was purchased by a group led by California businessman Jason Lohe and the Talons were introduced to the city of San Antonio on September 27, 2011. Despite AFL tradition to adopt previous AFL team names and identities for new teams in previous markets, the Talons chose to keep their nickname and not adopt the identity of the long-defunct San Antonio Force, due in part to the preexistence of the Georgia Force (a similar issue forced the Pittsburgh Power to adopt its current name instead of the Gladiators). In March 2012, Lynd Sports LLC, became a partial owner of the Talons.[6] Just days later, Lohe was forced to return to California with family issues, and David Lynd became the principal owner of the franchise.[7] The Talons then made a big play in free agency by signing veteran quarterback Aaron Garcia, who was fresh off of leading the Jacksonville Sharks to their first ever ArenaBowl victory.[8]
In December 2013, Lynd was sued for breach of contract when his real estate company (Lynd Company) failed to follow through on a 1.7 million dollar purchase.[9] On January 9, 2014, it was reported that the league had seized control of the franchise, and began immediately looking for new ownership. The league has been in talks with Spurs Sports & Entertainment, owners of the NBA's San Antonio Spurs, WNBA's San Antonio Stars and San Antonio Rampage hockey team, but neither AFL commissioner Jerry Kurz nor a Spurs spokeswoman could comment about the talks at the time. [10]
San Jose Sabercats[edit]
The Talons-Sabercats feud did begin with a classic game, but for all the bad reasons. On February 26, 2012, the Talons and Sabercats met at the Alamodome for the first scrimmage in Talons history. In what as become known in the organization as "The Scrimmage", with the game tied at 34 and only 34.2 seconds left, a mid-field brawl broke out. 5 players were ejected and tempers flared. Just as the Talons got the ball back for the winning field goal, San Jose coach Darren Arbet pulled his team into the locker room, ending the game in a 34–34 tie. Thus, the Talons-Sabercats rivalry was born.
The two teams would meet again in San Jose in April. The Sabercats demolished the Talons 76–53 and afterwords Talons coach Lee Johnson said "This is personal". The Talons got mad, and so the next time they met, it was no contest, with the Talons winning 72–47 at the Alamodome. Near the end of the game, another brawl broke out, but there was no such repeat of "The Scrimmage". This past offseason, tempers flared between the two teams. In November, Talons quarterback Aaron Garcia signed a 2 year deal with the Sabercats, after saying he would retire a Talon and lead the Talons to a championship. He is now referred to as the biggest traitor in San Antonio since Avery Johnson. Moments later, fans were seen burning no.8 Talons jerseys. If that wasn't enough, San Jose also took former Talons wide receiver Jason Willis, as well as former Talons corner-back Kenneth Foementte. For payback, the Talons signed Sabercats defensive lineman and 2012 defensive lineman and player of the year, Joe Sykes. Ironically, the 2 teams would meet in the season opener at the Alamodome. The underdog Sabercats scored late and thanks to a goal-line stand, and 264 yards from Garcia, the Sabercats won 47–42. The 2 teams faced again in July 2013. San Jose jumped out of the gate early and blitzed San Antonio 62–35.
As of 2013, the Sabercats lead the all time series 3–1–1.
Utah Blaze[edit]
The San Antonio Talons-Utah Blaze rivalry carries over from the success of the 2 city's, both are small market towns and are very successful in what they do. For years, the only rivalry between the two towns was the Spurs and the Jazz. Beginning in 1992, the San Antonio Force left town and Arena Football was not in San Antonio for 20 years. Utah did not have a team until 2006, but the Blaze were the team that started playing first. In September 2011, the Tulsa Talons left town and moved to San Antonio to become the San Antonio Talons. They signed quarterback Aaron Garcia and wide receiver Jomo Wilson. In a back and forth game at the Alamodome, the Talons knocked off Utah 54–48 in the first game in San Antonio Talons history. The Blaze struggled during the season, going 9–9 while the Talons went 14–4. The Talons also won another game against the Blaze that year 64–61. This made Blaze fans mad, and made them hate the Talons even more. In the 2012 Arena Football League Playoffs, the 16.5 point favorite Talons hosted the Blaze in the Divisional Playoffs. The Blaze needed a late goal line stand to pull off a stunning 35–34 upset win over the Talons at the Alamodome.
In the 2013 off season, things in this rivalry intensified. The Talons, having just lost Aaron Garcia to the arch-rival Sabercats, offered Blaze quarterback Tommy Grady a contract. But as usual, he refused, resigning with the Blaze. On June 3, 2013, the 4–5 Talons hosted the 4–5 Blaze in the first Monday Night Football game in Talons history. The Talons forced 5 turnovers and stopped the Blaze on a two point conversion to seal a 42–41 Talons victory. This turned out to be the final game in the rivalries history. On September 5, 2013, the Utah Blaze announced they would not return to the Arena Football League, bringing the rivalry to an end.
In 4 all time meetings, the Talons won the series 3–1, with the Blaze holding a 1–0 lead in the playoffs.
Arizona Rattlers[edit]
Phoenicians can't stand San Antonio, so when it was announced the Tulsa Talons would be moving from Oklahoma to San Antonio, a rivalry automatically was born. The Talons-Rattlers rivalry also carries over from an NBA grudge-match: Spurs-Suns. Like that rivalry, this one has also lived up to its billing. When the Talons began playing in the Alamodome, the Rattlers were the defending National Conference champions, coming off a heartbreaking loss in ArenaBowl XXIV. So it was no surprise the Talons would have to beat Arizona in order to win the National Conference. In their 1st meeting; in Phoenix, the Rattlers won 68–34, leading 26–7 at halftime. In week 18, the 13–3 Talons met the 12–4 Rattlers in a battle for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Talons rallied from 48–35 down at halftime to win 62–61.
But in the end, this meant nothing as the Talons lost in the 1st round to Utah, while Arizona upset Philadelphia in ArenaBowl XXV. In their 1st match-up of 2013; in Phoenix, the Rattlers killed the Talons 83–40. The 43 point loss was the worst in Talons franchise history and is the most points the Rattlers have ever scored at home. The Talons finished winning 9 of 14 since then. Anthoer factor to this rivalry is that in the 2012 showdown at the Alamodome, there seemed to be more Rattlers fans there then Talons fans, creating a Spurs-Lakers buzz in the dome. This was shown in their 2013 meeting in the Alamodome. The Rattlers went up 35–0 in the second quarter and held on to win 70–21 in front of more a more Rattler fan then Talon fan crowd at the Alamodome. As of 2013, the Rattlers lead the series 3–1.

November 18, 1970 -- It was a game that Punch Imlach had been waiting months to play.
Imlach was the new coach and general manager of the Buffalo Sabres, having been fired by the Toronto Maple Leafs more than a year before that. It's fair to say he couldn't wait to go to his old stomping grounds and play the Leafs in Maple Leaf Gardens. In fact, he had a sign in his office that made the point rather nicely. It read: "Beat Toronto."
Imlach had tuned up his roster with veterans in the days before the game, including Phil Goyette and Donnie Marshall. Then he went into the locker room in Toronto just before the first-ever game between the teams and said that if the team won that contest, the players wouldn't have to pay any outstanding fines.
"The whole room went big-eyed," Gerry Meehan said later.
Imlach received a long standing ovation when he appeared behind the Buffalo bench. Then his players took to the ice and thrashed the Leafs, 7-2.
Buffalo scored the last five goals of the game, as Meehan and Larry Keenan had two goals each. By the end of the night, even Toronto's fans were cheering Buffalo goals. And a rivalry was born.

Ten Missouri Southern athletes have qualified for the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Pittsburg State will send 15 athletes to the three-day meet.
The D-II championships will be held May 24-26 at Pueblo, Colo.
For Missouri Southern, most of the experience is on the women's team, which has four qualifiers.
Nicole Green, who qualified in the shot put, is a four-time All-American. Green, who attended Carthage High School, has improved her best throw by 10 feet since joining the Lions.
Lisa Vengels, another past All-American, returns to nationals in the high jump and has also qualified in the heptathlon.
"I would love to see them finish off their careers by getting on the award stand at the national championships," Southern women's coach Patty Vavra said of her seniors.
Sophomore Jasmin Hughes qualified in both the 100- and 200-meter dashes and freshman Melanie Bower is ranked ninth in the nation in the pole vault.
Junior pole vaulter Michael Juergens and sophomore high jumper Clark Tanksley are the only national veterans among the six Southern men who qualified. Juergens competed while injured at outdoor nationals a year ago, and is just now returning to competitive shape, said men's coach Tom Rutledge.
Junior Dustin Green, who qualified in the discus, has experience from attending junior college nationals.
Freshmen qualifiers are Jeffrey Fraley (100 and 200), triple jumper Darion Boure and discus thrower Nicklas Polizzi.
Fraley is ranked second in the nation in the 200 and fourth in the 100.
"I'm excited for them. They're pumped up," Rutledge said of his young Southern team, which did not have a senior for the outdoor season.
"Plus, Fraley and Boure have probably qualified for the (summer) Junior Olympics."
Pittsburg State, which won a rugged MIAA men's outdoor championship, qualified 11 individuals for nationals. The Gorillas have two athletes ranked first in the nation in their specialties — javelin thrower Mike Beeler and long jumper Keenan Soles.
In addition, redshirt freshman Jeff Piepenbrink is ranked second in the pole vault and John Talbert is third in the discus.
Other qualifiers are the 4x100 relay team of Jason Crow, Jordan Riffel, Austin Riggs and Soles, Calvin Hughes in the javelin, Kiara Jones in the long and triple jumps, Marquise Cushon in the triple jump, Joplin's Colbie Snyder in the vault and Talbert in the hammer.
Heidi Smith and Larissa Richards qualified in two events each for the PSU women. Both will throw the shot. Smith is also going in the hammer and Richards in the discus, where she has the No. 3 qualifying throw.
Smith has the third-best throw in the shot.
Also qualifying for the Gorillas are Kaley Temaat (800 meters) and Jalexis Peterson (triple jump).

Police are asking anyone who encounters Gesesse to call them immediately. If you have information on where she might be call the non-emergency police line at 301-279-8000.


text: New 49ers receivers Austin Collie and Lavelle Hawkins will get more work in practice this week as San Francisco continues to search for wideouts behind Anquan Boldin. Coach Jim Harbaugh told the Sacramento Bee he's pleased with what he's seen from Collie and Hawkins since they signed Aug. 2. "They're studying hard, working hard to get out there and chomping at the bit to be out there," Harbaugh said. Collie caught two passes for 20 yards at the end of the preseason opener, but has yet to get extensive work with Colin Kaepernick. The 49ers "remain wary of [Collie] going at top speed" because he's coming off a torn patella tendon, the paper said.

Options IT, the provider of the Options PIPE Private Financial Cloud services platform for sell-side and buy-side firms, today announced an agreement with Tick Data, the historical market data division of Nexa Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Penson Worldwide, Inc., to make Tick Data's complete suite of tick-by-tick historical market data available on the Options PIPE platform.
Options PIPE clients now have access to Tick Data products for analyzing global, multi-asset class market trends and back-testing trading strategies. Tick Data provides research-ready historical intraday time series data for the world's equities, futures and options markets. Options IT provides on-demand Private Financial Cloud services—including ultra-low latency market data, connectivity and fully optimized application hosting services—to the banking, trading, and traditional and alternative investment community.
The agreement comes as the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission is reported to be preparing a proposal to require backtesting on automated trading strategies before they go live in the market.
"We're delighted to work with Tick Data to provide our clients access to its full suite of historical market data," said Nigel Kneafsey, CEO of Options IT. "Given that regulators are now looking at how well trading firms scrutinize their automated trading strategies before live deployment, using a service like Tick Data's is not only a best industry practice, but potentially a required one."
Neal Falkenberry, SVP at Tick Data, said, "The highly volatile global markets of the past few years have generated many trading opportunities, but may also lead to increased regulatory scrutiny of trading activities. Tick Data's historical intraday market data products have always allowed our clients to reliably develop and test trading algorithms. We are happy to work with Options IT to offer a new way to access our research-ready data."

Candy Darling would've loved "Beautiful Darling," the documentary of her brief 29 years alive, because, as one of the persons interviewed reveals, the thing that mattered most to her in life was being considered gorgeous enough to grace the silver screen.
He, of course, coined the famous "15 minutes of fame" expression, which fits her to a T — and that's why the film isn't worthy of recommendation: It greatly overstates the importance of its subject.
"Beautiful Darling" plays 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday only, at Oklahoma City Museum of Art, 415 Couch.
Growing up with a Kim Novak obsession, Darling used "82 pounds of makeup" to transform the quiet boy into an outgoing woman in roles on stage and screen.
Some consider Darling brilliant, and maybe she is, but in the footage freshman director James Rasin shares, she appears to be more wannabe than genuine thespian, and a drama queen (potentially offensive pun not intended). John Waters sure digs her, but consider the source; the film states that even Warhol used her like Kleenex, more interested in exploiting "chicks with dicks" than employing any dramatic skills.
The most interesting section details Darling's heartbreaking childhood, as struggling with one's identity is a universal theme, whether or not that's related to gender. Rasin and his interviewees, however, are more interested in placing her on a pedestal that all fail to justify.
