Major Update: Has been split in two. Batman and the Robins are here, everyone else is in a second page.
The full cast list here is Bruce Wayne/Batman, Dick Grayson/Nightwing, Jason Todd/Red Hood, Tim Drake/Robin.
On the second page is Jean-Paul Valley/Azrael, Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Barbara Gordon/Oracle, Stephanie Brown/Spoiler, Cassandra Cain/Batgirl, Halana Bertinelli/Huntress, Vic Sage/The Question, Alfred Pennyworth, and Commissioner James Gordon. They are here:
Name: Their Birth name.
Codename: Their REAL name.
Title: Something theyre often prefixed with.
Particular Skills: Each one is skilled in eight different fields, but what separates them from the pack?
Armour Strength and Usual Gadgets: How tough is their usual clothing and arsenal.
Age: How old are they.
Notes: My personal thoughts on their design.
Personal: What are they like.
History: What made them who they are.
Skill level: Basically a how dangerous bit for each attribute. From strength, speed, agility, fighting skills, intelligence, detective skills, stealth, and will power, rated out of 10 by how many times better than average they are at that field. For example, normal human would have a 1/10 in any category unless they had some particular talent. Theyve all received training in these fields, so they should all be above that, but some are better than others
Ideal Voice Actor: One I would cast.

Ideal Voice Actor: One I would cast.
Name: Bruce Wayne
Codename: The Batman
Title: The Dark Knight, The Caped Crusader, The Worlds Greatest Detective
Particular Skills: Bruces main strengths rely on his well roundedness with each attribute. Hes quite strong, but not the strongest, hes a capable fighter, but not the best, hes smart, but not the smartest, etc. Unlike the others, hes honed each skill to be as good as he can, so while other specialize in one field and slouch out in another, hes far above average in each one. This combines with his signature use of gadgetry and tools also makes him the most capable for the average situation. Bruce is also, basically, what one might call a bit paranoid. Hes prepared for every situation, from prison breakouts to zombie invasions to shark attacks. Because of this, he can easily overcome any threat once hes processed and thought it out.
Armour Strength and Usual Gadgets: Bruces usual armour consists of a triple woven Kevlar underlining mesh, one that due to nanofibre development is capable of taking shotgun slugs and small arms fire without tear and causing only mild bruising. Over this he wears a set of high density carbon-titanium plates, with the darker the colour indicating the strength and durability of the plate. His cowl contains a micro computer and a radio in order to stay in contact with Alfred and the others while also increasing his ability to analyse nearby evidence. He wears spiked braces on his forearms, remade from the design of those worn by the League Of Shadows. His personal weapons of choice includes specially developed batarangs, dense, lightweight plastic boomerangs that, as well as him being skilled in their use, also contain a device to make them fly at a target he aims at using his cowls computer. He also carries remote control versions, smoke bombs, a high powered, extremely capable grappling gun, a fire proof gliding mesh cape that doubles as a weapon and a shield when needed, taser clips, hacking devices, tracking devices, radar, explosive gel, laser cutters, humidifiers, and an assortment of metal wires.
Age: 29-30.
Notes: I like it. I really do. Its like Nolanverse Batman with the comics colour scheme, exactly what I wanted. I decided to include an all black version with a few extra changes too, as I imagine it would basically be his when theres a big risk suit, and also to provide a mythology gag to Batman Beyond and the Nolanverse films, as it looks to me like a composite of the two designs. The Bruce one however, Im not entirely thrilled with the way his head came out. Up close it doesnt look bad, but zoomed out he looks weird. Whatever.
Personal: To the public, Bruce Wayne is a rich philanthropist and playboy, whos known for being stuck up, arrogant, and unsympathetic, with his only redeeming qualities being his charity work and his friendliness to children. But at night, however, Bruce is a the dark, caped crusading vigilante known as the Batman. A bogeyman to most, only the criminals hes caught and the police his interacted with have ever seen him, and to the public hes just an urban legend. This is despite his occasional work alongside the Justice League and his few public appearances. Batman is stoic, pragmatic, and fierce, often acting as a bad cop when interrogating. However, he is staunchly against the use of firearms, and absolutely refuses to take a life, even ones that nobody would blame you for taking.
History: Bruce was your average 8 year old, without a care in the world, when an accident lead him to develop a fear of bats. On Christmas day, Bruce became upset when he received the wrong toy, and refused to speak with his parents. To cheer him up, his dad took him to see his favourite movie, The Mask Of Zorro. However, on the way out, a mugger named Joe Chill cornered them, and when Thomas Wayne tried to diffuse the situation, he shot and killed him and his wife. Recently transferred police deputy James Gordon heard the gunshots and came to check it out, scaring off Joe Chill as he approached. Gordon tried to help the boy deal with his trauma, but could only sit back as the young Bruce Wayne was forever scarred by this event. Bruces emotional development halted that night, and for the rest of his teen years he was unable to express any emotion besides the bitter feeling of regret. When he enrolled at Gotham University, he befriended law student Harvey Dent, a victim of child abuse and a sufferer of Schizophrenia, and after a throwaway comment made by Dent about the crime of the city, Bruce got an idea. So, upon earning his applied science diploma, he left Gotham and travelled the world, training to master as many fields as possible. He travelled from civilization to civilization, learning the local skills while under the guise of being on holiday. He studied the mental behaviours of criminals, until one day meeting a woman on his travels called Talia Al Ghul. Bruce and her engaged in a brief romance, both to cover up their respective secrets. When Ras Al Ghul, Talias father, heard about this relationship as well as learning Bruces real reason for travelling, he offered Bruce training in the League of Shadows, his personal vigilante group. Bruces determination allowed him to not only overtake most of its members in skill, but to stand a possible chance of defeating Ras himself, and became one candidate for his successor. But, Bruce disagreed with the prospect of killing criminals, and left, where he then studied various forensic skills before returning to Gotham. Using his knowledge of applied science, he developed a suit of armour and the equipment hed need to become a vigilante. However, as he learnt, hed need something to strike fear in the criminals to help give him an edge and to help interrogate them. He decided to make himself look like a bat, as theyd previously terrified him, and as such the name Batman was used by the newspapers to describe the figure sighted.
Skill level: Strength: 7/10. Speed: 7/10. Agility: 7/10. Fighting skills: 7/10. Intelligence: 7/10. Detective skills: 7/10. Stealth: 7/10. Will power: 7/10.
Ideal Voice Actor: Robin Atkin Downes. I wanted to avoid my usual recycling previous attempts cliché by picking Kevin Conroy like I originally wanted to do, so I went with someone who I knew could do the voice, but hadnt done the Bat before. RAD previously did Moon Knight, who while being an utter psychopath about it is basically Batman Lite (though still one of my favourite characters mind you), and hes still my choice for the fist of Khonshu. But, I see Moon Knight as just a much more violent version of Batman, so I figured hed be perfect for Bruce. Hopefully, if he did, he wouldnt do the BatBale voice. Oh god please dont let him do the BatBale voice.
Name: Richard Dick Grayson
Codename: Nightwing. Formerly Robin
Title: The Goddamn (though a self imposed joke), Formerly The Boy Wonder
Particular Skills: While his overall skills are lower than Bruces, Dicks acrobatics skills are much greater due to his upbringing. Dick is capable of a standing jump over 10 feet into the air, a world record, as well as a running jump of seventeen feet. He can jump and do three back flips in one leap, as well as balance on one hand alone from a weak support. Dick is also very pragmatic, more so than Bruce. While Bruce can and will do anything to win a fight, Dick isnt as restrained as him. Should he need to, hed use possibly lethal attacks, including attacking the throat, if it comes down to it. Hes also known for a sense of humour when fighting. As well as snarking off in battle like a few other heroes, hell also go with immature attacks, such as groin attacks or even wet willies, mostly to either surprise the one hes fighting but also to freak out any others. Dicks main weakness however is that hes not particularly good at the whole not being seen thing. While hes still capable of hiding and taking cover, he likes to have a bit of attention, ranging from simply scaring others to actually drawing unneeded attention to himself.
Armour Strength and Usual Gadgets: Dick typically wears a Kevlar suit similar to the one underneath Bruces armour plating and designed for close quarters combat as well as defence at night. Unlike Bruce, he doesnt go for armoured plates due to his discomfort with them, and relies mostly on his speed to avoid being injured, and also got rid of using a cape upon his switch to Nightwing. Instead, he wars a simple device on his back that, when needed, can fold out and attach to his wrists to make a wing suit, allowing him to still glide. Dicks primary weapon is his escrima sticks, two foot long solid titanium bars with sliding handled and a taser on the end, allowing him to both using them for blunt force, stunning, and by throwing them, ranged weapons. Theyre designed to bounce off of solid objects, which hes practiced enough with to be able to just casually toss them at a target in a way to make them bounce right back to him. Also, he carries his own wing dings, similar to the batarangs only smaller and less bat like. These are more designed to divert attention than to provide any form of combat use, but he does still use them when needed to hit a target. Dick also carries his own set of knock out darts, tear gas bombs with an additive to cause vomiting, self lighting cherry bombs, and thumbtacks, all of his equipment being stored inside compartments in his boots. His mask is, unlike Bruces cowl, made of the same material as his uniform, so while it forms some protection and covers his identity, it doesnt contain any computer system besides a shortwave radio and is generally just to cover his face.
Age: 21
Notes: Like it? Dislike it? I decided to give him a slightly more armoured look, not unlike Arkham City DLC Dick, with his Nightwing uniform just being the Robin Uniform only mostly black and dark blue with minor changes. I got rid of the briefs thing in the Robin suit as does everyone these days, while also trying to make the red vest look like a bullet vest. Hopefully that came out ok. Second major thing about my design was the change from a domino mask to a more face covering item. I decided on this because, quite frankly, would a domino mask really protect your identity? Most of the time its designed to cover such little its almost just a thin line drawn around his eyes. Its one of the few pet peeves of mine when reading comic books. I could sorta buy into Supes lack of a mask as due to him changing his hairstyle and moving fast enough so others dont notice his face, but cmon, is that really enough to hide your identity, a tiny piece of plastic? So, his mask is more like an actual mask, which I like. Last notable thing was the presence of the forearm blades that Bruce wears, as I thought it would be something Bruce would probably give him if he uses it in battle.
Personal: Essentially a foil to Bruce, Dick is sarcastic as Bruce is serious, hes humorous as hes dark. Dick is sometimes a bit too cocky for his own good, but always means well and tries as hard as he can to play the role of the good guy. Dicks sense of humour passes down to his role as Nightwing, where even when facing down armed thugs while tied in chains he still cracks jokes and insults. Similar to Spider-Man, hes learnt this helps ease a situation and also distracts criminals while fighting them. When he was Robin, this was no different, and the younger, more light hearted perspective this brought is probably the reason Bruce adopted him: His presence stopped Bruce from becoming too invested in the darker aspects of his persona, and avoid him going off the deep end. Despite his falling out with Bruce and his switch to Nightwing, he still keeps in contact with the rest of the Bat family, and can still work with Bruce to the same level as he did as Robin without trouble. However, the two do eventually come to respect one another once more, and their broken relationship does eventually resolve itself.
History: Born to an acrobat family, Dick was a minor celebrity before he was even born. Growing up as a circus performer, Dick mastered acrobatics and agility before his tenth birthday, and by the time he was twelve he was already a death defying daredevil, capable of such great feats he attracted public attention for it as part of the Haley travelling circus top billed act: The Flying Graysons, alongside his parents. On his sixteenth birthday, he was about to perform a big show when his parents wires were cut and they fell to their deaths. Dick saw the event unfold, and tried to work out the case on his own. Feeling sympathy for him, Bruce Wayne adopted the young teen as his ward (despite the fact theyre relatively close in age) while he worked on the case himself, until once, while returning after a violent night out as Batman with a fight against the mutant mobster Killer Crock, Dick awoke to find Bruce, half dressed in his bat ensemble, bleeding to death. The young ward was able to get Alfred to help him, and instantly worked out what was going on. Demanding he train him, Bruce helped the young boy wonder become a vigilante just like himself, teaching him all the things he could. Taking the mantle of Robin, due to his mothers term of endearment for him, he took on the streets of Gotham with the same happy smirk he had while as a Flying Grayson, more so in fact. He became well versed in the ways of dealing with criminals like this, and soon became a competent vigilante capable of fighting villain just as Bruce could. However, Bruces protectiveness over him combined with his tendency to manipulate him and their clashing personalities caused a split, with Dick taking on the mantle of Nightwing, a name he chose after a story Superman told him once when they teamed up. He takes personal care over the small neighbouring city of Bludhaven, a city just as corrupt as Gotham without being as rich, and was able to overthrow its own little mob boss Blockbuster and take down its corrupt commissioner. Despite the breakup, he kept in contact with Bruce and became a surrogate brother of sorts to his replacement Jason Todd and later Tim Drake, as well as Azreal, Black Bat and Spoiler, while also housing a crush on Batgirl, one that would later develop as they worked together more.
Skill level: Strength: 5/10 Speed: 9/10 Agility: 10/10 Fighting skills: 8/10 Intelligence: 6/10 Detective skills: 6/10 Stealth: 4/10 Will power: 6/10
Ideal Voice Actor: Johnny Yong Bosch. I previously picked Bosch as my choice for Hellion, but Id also see him as a great Dick Grayson/Nightwing for largely the same reason.
Name: Jason Todd
Codename: Red Hood. Formerly Robin
Title: Soldier of the Bat
Particular Skills: Jason is slightly less skilled in each filed than Bruce, but considerably higher than most of the others. However, his fighting skills separate him from the others due to the fact he has long since abandoned the no killing rule, making him far more dangerous than the others. His biggest weakness is his short fuse and the fact hes easier to be pushed to the point of homicidal rage. However, when in battle, he can, and will, be as organized as any bat, and as ruthless as any killer.
Armour Strength and Usual Gadgets: Jason formerly wore the same uniform and used the same tools as Dick, but has since given it up in exchange of more traditional body armour. Accompanying this is his jacket, which as well as providing more protection, can hold more equipment than a utility belt and wired to explode when needed.
Age: 19
Notes: It looks a little off, but whatever. Originally I was going to give him shorter hair, but decided to add bangs to it because it looked too weird. The Robin suit is almost completely identical to Dicks, though with some subtle changes. And, well, thats it really.
Personal: Jason was always different from Dick. While he was originally just as happy in battle, he soon grew angrier, grittier, more aggressive in battle to the point Bruce often had to pull him away from those he was fighting. Even before his dip in the Lazarus Pit, Jason had killed once as Robin, though there was no way to prove it. After being killed by the Joker and then revived by Ras Al Ghul, Jason became homicidal, traumatized by his violent death and angry at the world, specifically Gothams criminal element, and basically perverted Batmans teachings to become a sadistic mass murderer. He expresses contempt to everyone in the Batfamily except for Bruce, who instead hes desperate to convert to his way of thinking. Deep down, hes not a bad person, hes just too messed up to do anything about his own problems and flaws.
History: Jason was a homeless child, living on the streets and stealing car tires to sell to an auto mechanic. He came across Batman and Bruce Wayne thanks to this, and both times he got locked in a holden cell at Gotham station. Because Bruce realized that the kid just needs some steering, he began fostering the kid, and like Dick, eventually began teaching them to be the next Robin. Once Jason finished his training, he began joining Bruce on the streets, but they ran into trouble because they didnt have the same dynamic as Dick and Bruce. While Bruce and Dick were on the opposite spectrum of personalities but agreed on other subjects, they worked well together, while Jason wasnt as different from Bruce as Dick was and disagreed on the concept of morality, which came to a head when Jason killed a rapist and made it look like an accident. Bruce became both disgusted in Jason despite not being able to prove this, and blamed himself as he was beginning to think he may of turned Jason into a monster. When this lead to Jason being neglected and told to stay behind, the boy tried to prove his worth by tracking down the Joker and bringing him to justice. However, he underestimated the clown, and was soon beaten and killed by the clown prince of chaos. Batman was devastated, and became reluctant to include anyone into his private war. Jasons costume was put up in a memorial while Bruce nearly became homicidal, but was held back from the brink of insanity by Barbra, Dick, and Bruces close ally Superman, Clark Kent. However, Jasons death was partially because of Ras Al Ghul, who didnt plan on this happening and tried to make it up by reviving Jason via Lazarus, but this just turned him into a homicidal maniac. Jason dropped off the radar, eventually returning to Gotham as Red Hood, and set up a gambit in order to make Bruce kill the Joker: He had abducted Tim Drake, the next Robin after him, along with the Joker and attached them to separate electric chairs in rooms filling with gasoline. As theyre tortured, Bruce is handed a remote with two buttons: One which will kill Joker, one which will kill Jason. If he doesnt press one, Tim, Jason, and Joker will all be blown up and the resulting explosions will likely kill Bruce and anyone else in the building. Bruce was able to get out of this, and stop Jason from then killing himself, placing him in Arkham with a simple promise: Get better, and he can come home. Currently, Jason is working for Project Cadmus, teaching its agents everything Batman taught him in order to make them capable of killing him in exchange for release from Arkham.
Skill level: Strength: 5/10. Speed: 5/10. Agility: 5/10. Fighting skills: 9/10. Intelligence: 6/10. Detective skills: 5/10. Stealth: 3/10. Will power: 1/10.
Ideal Voice Actor: Jensen Ackles. Heres the only one who Im cheating on here, but thats because of one major reason: I just cant picture anyone else as Jason. He did it so well that I just couldnt think of anyone else who could do it better, or do it even half as good.
Name: Timothy Tim Drake
Codename: Robin
Title: The Boy Wonder, The Budding Detective (given to him by Grayson)
Particular Skills: Drakes primary skill is his detective skills, partially self taught and possibly outranking Bruces. He was able to work out that Batman and Robin are in fact real people, and that Bruce and Dick were the Dynamic Duo. He also was able to track down the entry to the Bat Cave, as well as stopped the Riddlers latest scheme before Bruce was able to take him seriously. Bruce later taught him the other requirements needed for the role hed take to a similar level as Grayson, though he still lacks brute strength as the others. Also, hes particularly weak willed compared to the others, often being tempted to quit the life style and often hangs up his cape when depressed.
Armour Strength and Usual Gadgets: Tims suit is composed of the same materials as Bruces, a lightweight Kevlar under suit and a carbon titanium alloy set of plates over it. He wears a cape that works similar to Bruces, but also holds a hood in order to hide his identity better than Dicks does in order to avoid the possibility of being worked out by someone who would harm his family or friends. Tim possesses many of the same gadgets as Bruce and Dick, but his personal weapon of choice is his extending metal staff, of which hes mastered to a much greater degree than most other users. Hes learnt the exact amount of force needed to knock people out without causing major damage, and has learnt how to use it without being disarmed as easily as others.
Age: 17
Notes: Primarily based off of his later comics design and his Arkham City design. I decided to go with the hooded look for it because, well, it looks badass, and because of the above given reason. Again, I dislike over obvious identities. Gave him forearm blades and also pointier ears on his mask, respectfully for practicability and combat, and stylistic reasons. His civvies maybe need a bit more work done, they appear to be too simple, but other than that Im (mostly) happy with the way it worked out.
Personal: Not quite as laidback as Dick, but certainly no brooder, Tim is Batmans equal in detective work, and his foil personally. More of an everyman than anything else, Tim isnt overly brooding or overly joking, and tries to keep a calm, withdrawn outer shell when as Robin. Unlike Bruce and similar to some others, he identifies himself as Tim instead of as Robin, something the others do as well concerning him. He personally chose to become Robin as he believed that Batman needed one following the death of Jason, and chose to keep his name alive in order to do so.
History: Unlike Bruce and Dick, Tim didnt suffer any horrible childhood tragedy. While his mother was killed and his father was crippled, both occurred due to a car accident he wasnt present at, and has been more well adjusted then the most others from it. While mostly an average student, Tim was always gifted academically, but kept mostly to himself and his friends, and as such didnt stand out much. When he was young, he went to see the Flying Graysons perform with his family, and had a picture taken with the performers that he cherished as a child. When he first heard of Batman and Robin, he was quick to deduce the truth behind them, and tried to convince Dick Grayson to return to the title when the second Robin was killed, but the older hero politely declined. When Tim began acting as Robin himself without any guidance, Dick decided to train him a little to avoid him getting injured, and gave him his old uniform, while trying to encourage him to not take said course of life. However, when Tim and Bruce crossed paths, Bruce tried to be more blunt to dissuade him from this lifestyle, partially due to still blaming himself for Jasons death, but became silent when Tim revealed he knew who he was. However, he wouldnt fully earn Bruces approval and full training until he would track down the entrance to the Batcave and solve a case Bruce was working on. Taking him under his wing, he increased Tims expertise in crime solving, but also provided a much more suitable Robin suit, as well as teaching him staff wielding, which Tim would later expertise in. As the current Robin, Tim has had his own share of adventures, once being briefly kidnapped by the Joker who attempted to brainwash him to become his son, as well as getting his own trainee in the form of Spoiler. As of now, Tim is happy to consider himself part of the Bat Family, and is its second most identifiable member.
Skill level: Strength: 3/10. Speed: 5/10. Agility: 6/10. Fighting skills: 5/10. Intelligence: 8/10. Detective skills: 10/10. Stealth: 6/10. Will power: 4/10.
Ideal Voice Actor: Drew Roy. I was going over possible ideas and then, I realized, that Drew Roy would probably be a pretty cool choice, either as a voice actor, or even a live action actor, for playing Timmy.
So, thats it. So, hope you enjoyed these ideas. The only people Im missing now are Creeper, Lucius Fox, Harvey Dent pre-Two Face, and Vicky Vale. If I make them Ill probably update this to add them, but until then, enjoy these.
All characters are (C) to DC, Warner Bros, I own nothing.

Well, we'd have to agree to disagree on that then. Dick Grayson is my favourite DC character, but the Robin title is my favourite superhero legacy and I love all five of them; I prefer Dickie as Nightwing with Tim Drake as Robin, but all of them I rather like.

My pleasure. All of the designs are really cool, but Robin's is my favorite. I like how you made the Robin looks unique as well. they're a really nice blend of the Robin and Nightwing/Red Robin redesigns; a true progression from sidekick to hero.

What should I do with $$$?

|Sun, 08-15-2010 - 2:01pm
DH gets money for school - some grants, some loans. He's getting back $5245 after his tuition/fees are paid - plus he will get another $2250 in several weeks (after the Army processes his tuition assistance application). So total we're looking at $7495, of which $668 has to go pay off the credit card (we just put some minor home/vehicle repairs on it b'cuz we knew we could pay it off before interest was charged). That leaves us with $6,827. So - tell me - what should I do with it?
-I have a student loan with a balance of $6,341.75 remaining (monthly payments are $87.97. Interest rate is 6.8%; of course, the interest is tax deductible.
-We owe $16,845.38 on the car we just bought with an interest rate of 6.69% APR and $336.56 monthly payments.
-We have $2,236 (1.5 months worth of bills - not including grocery/gas/household needs) in our emergency fund, which is a savings account that earns 1.1% interest.
-We have a vacation account and a Christmas account but neither of them need additional money.
-We have no other bills/savings.
Part of me wants to pay off the student loan to free up the monthly payment amount. However, it would also be nice to pay a huge chunk on the car and not have to be paying on it so long. With the interest saved by making such a huge payment, it would cut out like 2 years of payments on the car. Of course, it would also be nice to put at least some of it into the emergency fund, but I hate to pay almost 7% interest and earn just 1%.
Okay, I'm done blah-blah-blah'ing and am open to suggestions now. Thanks in advance!

If it were me, I'd pay off the student loan and then put the remainder in your emergency fund.

After eight years of trying to get pregnant with no success, Christa and Chris LeFlufy turned to science. By the time Christa turned 30, they knew they'd have to use in vitro fertilization, or IVF, and set off down a path through intensive medical tests, sperm counts and blood work. It revealed a chromosomal anomaly in Chris that meant most eggs he fertilized wouldn't thrive. The couple from 100 Mile House had almost no chance of having their own children without intervention.
In the National Hockey League, where there are no longer any ties, something will have to give tonight when the reeling Vancouver Canucks meet the floundering Calgary Flames at Rogers Arena.

I wanted to mention a few things I have changed in our home: I started to use raw honey, gluten-free products, and non-toxic, natural sunblock and deodorant.
After learning about the amazing properties of raw, local honey, that's all I use now for my tea and when one of us has a soar throat. Honey has been proven to work just as well as cough medicine, so I always have it in the house.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

After a day of meetings between the US and Iraelis, US President Barak
Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a meeting late
November 9 in Washington in which two leaders were also joined by
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren,
National Security Council head Uzi Arad and PMO adviser Yitzhak Molcho.
(An) The unusually suspenseful build up to Monday's meeting - the White
House waited until late Sunday night, after the Israeli prime minister
had already arrived in Washington, to confirm that Obama would indeed
meet with Netanyahu - was (matched by an equally evasive atmosphere
surrounding its) surpassed only by the thick fog shrouding its
conclusion. The one and a half hour meeting was closed to the press,
something unusual for talks between such high level officials. The only
information to the media was provided by a brief White House statement
e-mailed to reporters following the meeting's conclusion in which the US
confirmed that future steps regarding Iran and the prospects for peace
in the Middle East were discussed and reaffirmed President Obama's
commitment to Israeli security and US-Israeli "security cooperation on a
range of issues".
The US likely arranged yesterday's late night, clandestine meeting with
two objectives in mind. The first being to secure continued Israeli
restraint in the face of ongoing negotiations with Iran by reaffirming
the US's commitment to security cooperation with Israel. The second
objective being to deliver a more subtle message to leaders in Tehran by
hinting at the possibility of US-Israeli cooperation against Iran,
something the US hopes will achieve the converse goal of undermining
Iranian confidence in negotiations that lay ahead. Intentionally
obfuscating media coverage of the meeting creates an aura of uncertainty
around US-Israeli proceedings. This may be a way for the US to give Iran
the impression that joint military preparations could be in the works
with the US hope being that planting the seeds of possibility, and
giving them a little extra water to grow, will move Iran to reconsider
the level of gravity it gives to Western threats.
STRATFOR has been tracking closely the movements of the major players
involved in Western attempts to negotiate with Iran over its nuclear
program (link
as the ongoing diplomatic saga has taken an interesting turn over the
past few day. Anomalies such the incongruent responses from the US and
Israel and the conspicuous exclusion of media from a last minute meeting
between world leaders, usually grab STRATFOR's attention. Time will tell
if they have the same effect on the leadership in Tehran and STRATFOR
will continue to watch for indications one way or the other. Indeed, a
credible bluff of war preparations and actual war preparation look very
much the same and, ultimately, both can be effective strategies for
achieving the same end.

So last night I once again watched Dancing with the Stars with the woman, and once again Florence Henderson looked hot…I know, I know, she is 76! We were both also surprised by how attractive Jennifer Grey looks these days…yes, "Baby" is out of the corner & is "Dancing with the Stars." It's funny, as we were watching the episode both of us were annoyed with her personality, then they go to a piece about her & how she has screws and bolts in her neck due to a battle with cancer etc…almost like as if the show knew we were hating on her & wanted to make us feel bad. We then looked online to see how old "Baby" is these days, and she is 50!!!! I have to say, "Dancing With The Stars" is knocking it outta the park with hot older chicks. Coug-ahs!
You know what show we watched last week that we dug? Mike & Molly. It's a really funny show…some critics say it's one big fat joke as it's about a couple that meets at an "over-eaters anonymous" meeting & start courting each other. There is some great laugh out loud moments, and it stars the very funny Billy Gardell. He's a guy we have had in studio before, a real nice dude.
I finally jumped on the BBT bandwagon & watched Big Bang theory…damn was I missing out…what a hilarious show. The whole scene with the robot arm is so funny, even thinking of it makes me laugh. Sadly I can't find the scene to embed on this blog (I hate when people disable embedding), but here is a link to a funy scene:
I also tried to watch "$#*! My Dad Says", starring William Shatner. This show has been getting a ton of hype…it's the show based on that funny twitter page where a guy actually posts the stuff that his dad says. For instance, here is a recent tweet:
"You came out of your mom looking like s***. She thought you were beautiful. Don't know what scared me most, your looks or her judgment."
Sadly the show isn't as much fun as the twitter page….I was expecting way more & the laughs really weren't there.
Needless to say, I am glad to see on our DVR that I have other shows recorded that don't involve wrestlers...I'm evolving I guess when it comes to my viewing habits!!!
So the owner of Segway died while driving a Segway...it went off a cliff. Yes, it's a tragic story, but we figured if you were going to leave this world, what better way than to go out with the product that you own. That being said, we asked the simple question…if you were going to die, how would you like to go out?
I think I would wanna go out one of two ways…either I die from a slapshot while playing goalie, only because that would be an epic finish (so long as the puck doesn't go in)…or….I would wanna die while sitting front row at a WWE event…possibly a guy jumps off the top rope into the stands & lands on me…ya know…these involve pain…I think I'd rather going out while watching hockey or wrestling as I am taking a nap.
We got some calls about how some would like to "go out."

When Worlds Collide is a 1951 American Technicolor science fiction film from Paramount Pictures, produced by George Pal, directed by Rudolph Maté, and starring Richard Derr, Barbara Rush, Peter Hansen, and John Hoyt. The film is based the 1933 science fiction novel of the same name, co-written by Philip Wylie and Edwin Balmer.
The film tells the story of the coming destruction of the Earth by the rogue star Bellus and the desperate efforts to build a space ark that will save and transport a small portion of humanity to the star's single orbiting planet, Zyra. After the Earth is destroyed by its collision with Bellus, the space ark safely lands on Zyra and humanity's survivors disembark on their new world to face a hopeful but still unknown future.
Pilot David Randall is paid to fly top-secret photographs from South African astronomer Dr. Emery Bronson to Dr. Cole Hendron in the United States. Hendron, with the assistance of his daughter Joyce, confirms their worst fears: Bronson has discovered a rogue star named Bellus that is on a collision course with Earth.
Hendron warns the delegates of the United Nations that the end of the world is little more than eight months away. He pleads for the construction of spaceships to transport a lucky few to Zyra, the sole planet in orbit around Bellus, in the faint hope that it can sustain life and save the human race from extinction. However, other equally distinguished scientists scoff at his claims, and he is not believed by the UN delegates. Hendron receives help from wealthy humanitarian friends, who arrange a lease on a former proving ground to construct an ark spaceship. To finance the construction, Hendron is forced to accept money from the self-centered, wheelchair-bound industrialist Sidney Stanton. Stanton demands the right to select the passengers, but Hendron insists that he is not qualified to make those choices; all he can buy with his wealth is a single seat aboard the ark.
Joyce becomes attracted to Randall and prods her father into finding reasons to keep him around, much to the annoyance of her boyfriend, medical doctor Tony Drake. The ship's construction is a race against time. As Bellus nears, former skeptics admit that Hendron was right and governments prepare for the inevitable. Groups in other nations also begin building spaceships. Martial law is declared and residents in coastal regions are moved to inland cities.
Bellus makes a close approach, its gravitational attraction causing massive earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tidal waves that wreak havoc around the world. Several people are killed at the ark's construction camp, including Dr. Bronson. In the aftermath, Drake and Randall travel by helicopter to provide assistance to survivors. When Randall leaves the helicopter to rescue a little boy stranded on a rooftop surrounded by water, Drake must resist a strong temptation to strand Randall.
As the day of doom approaches, the spaceship is loaded with food, medicine, microfiche copies of books, equipment, and animals. Finally, the lucky passengers are selected by a lottery, though Hendron reserves seats for a handful of people: himself, Stanton, Joyce, Drake, pilot Dr. George Frey, the young boy who was rescued, and Randall, for his daughter's sake. When a young man turns in his winning ticket because his sweetheart was not selected, Hendron arranges for both to go. Randall refuses his seat and only pretends to participate in the lottery, believing he has no needed skills once the ark leaves for Zyra. For Joyce's sake, Drake fabricates a "heart condition" for Frey, making a co-pilot necessary; Randall is the only choice.
The cynical Stanton becomes increasingly anxious as time passes. Knowing human nature, he fears what the desperate lottery losers might do, so as a precaution, he has stockpiled weapons; Stanton's suspicions prove to be well-founded. His much-abused assistant, Ferris, tries to get himself added at gunpoint to the passenger manifest, only to be shot dead by Stanton. During their final night on Earth, the selected passengers and animals are quietly moved to the launch pad to protect them from more violence.
Shortly before takeoff, many of the lottery losers riot, taking up Stanton's weapons to try to force their way aboard the space ark. Hendron bravely stays behind at the last moment, forcibly keeping Stanton in his wheelchair, conserving additional fuel for the flight. With an effort born of desperation, Stanton stands up and starts to walk and then collapses in a futile attempt to board the now departing spaceship.
The crew are rendered unconscious by the g-force of acceleration and do not witness the Earth's collision with Bellus, displayed on the forward television monitor. When Randall comes to and sees Dr. Frey already awake and piloting the ship, he realizes he has been deceived.
As the space ark enters the atmosphere, the fuel finally runs out; Randall then takes control, gliding to a rough, but safe landing. Earth's survivors begin to disembark, finding Zyra to be habitable. David Randall and Joyce Hendron follow, walking hand-in-hand down the ramp, to explore an unknown but hopeful future.

When Worlds Collide won the 1951 Academy Award for special effects.[3]
A feature film, based on both original novels first serialized in Blue Book magazine, had been considered in the 1930s by Cecil B. Demille. When George Pal began producing his version years later, he initially wanted a more lavish production with a larger budget, but he wound up being forced to scale back his plans.[4]
Douglas Fairbanks Jr. was first considered for the role of Dave Randall, but Richard Derr was finally hired for the part.[5]
Chesley Bonestell is credited with the artwork used for the film; he created the design for the space ark that was constructed to journey to Zyra. The final scene in the film, showing the sunrise landscape of the alien world, was taken from a Bonestell sketch. Because of budget constraints, the director was forced to use this color sketch rather than a finished matte painting, drawing criticism. The additional poor quality still image showing a drowned New York City is often attributed to Bonestell, but it was not actually drawn by him.[6]
The Differential analyzer at UCLA is shown briefly near the beginning of the film; it verifies the initial hand-made calculations confirming the coming destruction of the Earth. "There is no error."[4]
Producer George Pal considered making a sequel based on the second novel After Worlds Collide, but the box office failure of his 1955 Conquest of Space made that impossible.[4]
Freelance writer Melvin E. Matthews calls the film a "doomsday parable for the nuclear age of the '50s."[7] Emory University physics professor Sidney Perkowitz notes that this film is the first in a long list of movies where "science wielded by a heroic scientist confronts a catastrophe." He calls the special effects exceptional.[8] Librarian and filmographer Charles P. Mitchell was critical of the "scientific gaffes that dilute the storyline," as well as a "failure to provide consistent first class effects." He pointed out that there were inconsistencies in the script, such as the disappearance of Dr. Bronson in the second half of the film,[Note 1] and the story of what happened with sister spacecraft being built by other nations. He summarizes by saying, "the large number of plot defects are annoying and prevent this admirable effort from achieving top-drawer status."[5]
Cultural references[edit]

When Worlds Collide is one of the many classic films referenced in the opening theme ("Science Fiction/Double Feature") of both the stage musical The Rocky Horror Show (1973) and its cinematic counterpart, The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1976).
When Worlds Collide is the title of a 1975 album (the related single is "Did Worlds Collide?") by Richard Hudson and John Ford, their third release after leaving Strawbs.
In the feature film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982), two cargo containers can be seen labeled "Bellus" and "Zyra" in the Genesis Cave.
In the film L.A. Confidential (1997), the publisher of a trashy tabloid arranges for a publicity-loving LAPD officer to arrest a young actor on the night of this film's premiere, resulting in photos of the arrest with the theatre holding the premiere in the background accompanied by the headline "Movie Premiere Pot Bust" (the scene is shown taking place in 1953, long after the 1951 premiere of When Worlds Collide).
"When Worlds Collide" is the title of a single by the heavy metal band Powerman 5000 from the 1999 album Tonight the Stars Revolt!

Artie Owens
Inducted: 1997
Written by Greg Walker
A fleet tailback from 1972-75, Artie Owens barrelled his way to a school record 2,648 career rushing yards. He is WVU's career all-purpose yardage leader with 3,971. His 6.4 yards-per-carry average is one of the best in school history and he had a school record 13 career 100-yard rushing games.
Owens' best rushing season came in 1974 when he gained 1,130 yards. He compiled a string of four consecutive games with 100 or more rushing yards that season: Kentucky (100), Tulane (181), Indiana (120) and Pitt (112). Owens also gained 1,055 yards on 159 carries in 1975, making him the only Mountaineer with two career 1,000-yard rushing seasons. It was during the 1975 season that Owens was named Sports Illustrated back of the week for his 171-yard game against Southern Methodist.
He was one of the most exciting and dangerous kick returners in the country, bringing one kickoff back 95 yards for a touchdown versus Penn State in 1973 (third-longest in school history) and another 75 yards against Stanford in 1972, when he was the only freshman to earn a varsity letter.
Owens led WVU to the 1972 and 1975 Peach Bowls and a 27-19 four-year record. Owens captained the 1975 team and was named the Ira E. Rodgers Award winner.
Owens' track career was also legendary. As a freshman, he tied a 41-year-old WVU record for the 100-yard dash by clocking a 9.6. He later bettered that mark with a 9.5, a record he shares with fellow two-sport star Harry Blake. Owens and Blake also teamed to set Mountaineer records in the 440- and 880-yard relays, and three times won the prestigious Penn Relays.
One notable spring Saturday, Owens competed in a track meet and the Gold-Blue spring game. He ran in the preliminaries for Coach Stan Romanoski's harriers during the morning, then hit the gridiron for Coach Bobby Bowden, and returned to the track for the meet's sprint and relay final heats.
Owens was selected as a receiver in the fourth round of the NFL draft by the San Diego Chargers and played five NFL seasons with the Chargers, Bills and Patriots from 1976-80. Owens also played one year (1983) in the USFL with the Philadelphia Stars.
While with San Diego, Owens was named special teams MVP as a kick returner and set the Charger career record for all-purpose running, netting 999 career yards in kickoff returns alone.
Originally from Montgomery, Ala., Owens moved north to attend high school where he starred at Stroudsburg (Pa.) High. As a senior, Owens led Stroudsburg to an 11-0 record and established Pennsylvania records for touchdowns (42) and yards rushing (2,061). He was named a Kodak All-American, UPI and AP all-state, all-Big 33, all-Lehigh Valley and all-Eastern Pennsylvania for Coach Fred Ross.
After his successful professional football career, Owens returned to Stroudsburg, where he instructed at an alternative school for the mentally handicapped. He also had coaching duties with Stroudsburg High School, leading the 1984 freshman team to an undefeated campaign.
Following a venture into the construction business during 1986-87, Owens returned to what, along with football, he calls one of his two loves in life, the mental health profession. He currently works in the Bethlehem School District, preparing mentally handicapped and mentally ill individuals for their adult lives.
Owens has two children, son Artie Owens II (who is a senior at Susquehanna and plays football for the NCAA Division III school) and daughter Whitney. Owens and his wife Patricia reside in Whitehall, Pa.

The Devils Casino : Friendship, Betrayal, and the High Stakes Games Played Inside Lehman Brothers (Hardcover)
Not currently shipping from publisher – Subject to future availability
The inside story of what really happened at Lehman Brothers and why it failed
The fall of Lehman Brothers has been one of the most controversial and debated topics of 2008. Was it the great mistake of 2008, and the catalyst for the credit crisis that has spun out of control? Was it just a matter of moral hazard or was it in fact the cumulation of a series of mistakes made within Lehman and outside it? Did egos and the fight for survival among all financial institutions cause Lehman to be sacrificed in an ultimately fruitless attempt to save themselves?
Only Vicky Ward, an insider journalist who writes for Vanity Fair and the London Evening Standard can uncover just what happened the weekend of September 14, 2008 and how the decisions made could continue to affect us for years to come. With access to the key players in this saga and a detailed understanding of the world of finance, Ward offers you a fascinating up close look at the individuals, institutions, and events responsible for the fall of Lehman.
- Here's what really went on behind-the-scenes-not just the weekend that Lehman Brothers was set to fail, but inside Lehman for the twenty years preceding it
- Takes us right inside the feudal culture that was to prove both Lehman's strength and survival through several potential wipeouts-and its Achilles' heel
- Written by Vicky Ward, one of today's most connected business and finance writers
A can't put it down page turner that opens the world of Wall Street to view unlike any book since Bonfire of the Vanities, except that The Great Mistake isn't fiction.

The men considered their battle plan.
They passed the time playing poker.
And they wrote their wills.
Soon every soldier riding with 23-year-old 2nd Lt. George Klein of Chicago through choppy seas on a British troop ship toward the coast of Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944, would play his role in a massive Allied invasion that turned the tide of World War II.
The men knew their orders. Klein and 224 others had their sights set on Pointe Du Hoc — and the 100-foot cliff they would scale by rope and ladder under enemy fire before taking out six large German guns.
Klein made it to the top. He battled on. He killed a German soldier who attacked with a rifle and bayonet, wounding Klein in the leg. And after two days on the battlefield without a working radio, Klein would live to realize Allied forces were firmly in control of Pointe Du Hoc.
He lived to fight another day, to see the end of the war, to marry his wife, Barbara, to build a decades-long career, to become a father and a grandfather.
But not every soldier riding with Klein on that British troop ship was so lucky. And as the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion approached last week, Klein told the Chicago Sun-Times one question lingered with him after the key battle that changed the war — and took many lives.
"Having seen people that I've known killed, blown up, the only question that I did ask myself at that time is, 'Why not me?'" said Klein, a two-time Purple Heart recipient.
Klein, now 93, said he never found his answer.
"I never thought I would live to be 93, let's put it that way," Klein said. "And I hope I live to be 94. But as long as I've got my marbles … I'll be happy."
Klein had hoped to join other veterans in France this week to commemorate the anniversary of the invasion. After a bout with pneumonia, he said he planned instead to speak Friday during a program at Chestnut Square at the Glen, the retirement community in Glenview where he lives. His daughter is also visiting from out of town.
It wouldn't have been Klein's first visit to Normandy since the war. He said he visited once with his wife in the 1960s — and stumbled upon Pointe Du Hoc almost by accident.
"I saw it, and I really couldn't stay up there too long," Klein said.
The visit may have been brief, but Klein said the battle is never far from his mind. Another aspect of the war — the Holocaust — haunts him, as well.
"It took me a long time to get over my hatred of anything and everything German, which still plagues me these days," Klein said. "I'm constantly struck by man's inhumanity to man, and how civilized people can reduce themselves to such basic feelings."
Five years ago, Klein began to write down his memories of his military career. He's since given a thick scrapbook full of written recollections, photographs, battle plans and military records to his son, daughter and brother-in-law.
It's titled, "As Told To My Children: How the War Was Won."
One memory chronicled within its pages is his confrontation with the German soldier on D-Day. Someone yelled to warn him the soldier was running toward him with a rifle and bayonet. He said he quickly turned and shot the German, who fell to the ground dead.
But the rifle and bayonet kept coming and wounded Klein in the thigh.
"You sometimes wonder why people do what they do," Klein wrote in his scrapbook. "We found out that the rifle was loaded and all the poor dumb son of a bitch had to do was pull the trigger and he would have gotten his American!"
Klein said it's difficult to know whether generations of Americans born after D-Day fully comprehend the experiences of World War II veterans. But time and again, when adversity looms, he said America's youth have risen to the occasion.
He said freedom is not free — "There's a bill to be paid."
"And unfortunately," Klein said, "the people who pay it are the real heroes of any war."

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Hanley Ramirez doubled home the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning, and the Florida Marlins beat St. Louis, 5-4, in the second portion of a three-game series at Sun Life Stadium.
Chad Tracy lined a one-out single off the Cardinals' Ryan Franklin (6-2) and came around to score when Ramirez followed by stroking an 0-1 pitch to the gap right-center field.
The walk-off win halted a five-game losing streak for the Marlins, who took Leo Nunez off the hook after he allowed the Cardinals to move ahead in the ninth.
Florida broke a 2-2 tie when Donnie Murphy belted a 3-2 offering from Jake Westbrook, making his second start for the Cardinals after being acquired from Cleveland last Saturday in a three-team deal that sent Ryan Ludwick to San Diego, over the wall in center with two gone in the seventh.
It was an eventful ninth inning that saw both teams' closers blow a save opportunity.
Nunez succeeded starter Josh Johnson to begin the frame and yielded back-to- back one-out singles to Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday. Pujols advanced to third on a Colby Rasmus flyout and trotted home on a base hit by Yadier Molina.
Aaron Miles then grounded a single to center to score Holliday, putting the Cardinals in front. Miles, though, would get caught in a rundown between first and second, leading to Molina being thrown out at the plate.
Franklin was then greeted by a Dan Uggla home run that sent the contest to extras.
"I just made some mistakes and they hit them," Franklin said.
Johnson gave up two runs on five hits and struck out five in eight innings. The All-Star right-hander still has the lowest ERA in the majors at 1.97.
"You're always going to feel frustration as soon as it happens," Johnson said of the blown save, "but as soon as you win, it all goes away."
Clay Hensley (2-4) got the win for tossing a spotless 10th.
Westbrook allowed three runs on six hits over seven innings and matched a career-high with nine strikeouts.
The Cardinals fell to 1 1/2 games behind Cincinnati for first place in the NL Central after the Reds fended off the Cubs earlier Saturday.
Ramirez deposited Westbrook's third pitch of the game over the left-field wall for his 25th career leadoff home run.
Johnson set down the first 10 batters he faced before Jon Jay and Pujols hit consecutive singles in the fourth. Holliday then ripped an RBI double to right field to produce the tying run. Rasmus' sacrifice fly scored Pujols to give the Cardinals a 2-1 lead. The inning ended when Holliday was thrown out at the plate attempting to score on a single by Molina.
The Marlins tied the game on a run-scoring single in the bottom of the fourth by Logan Morrison.
