Damian Wayne (Prime Earth)
this wiki
Damian Wayne is the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul. This makes him an heir to the world's greatest crime-fighter, and its greatest super-villain Ra's al Ghul. Damian became the fifth Robin, working alongside Dick Grayson as Batman.
Damian's existence was initially unknown to Batman. Genetically perfected and grown in an artificial womb, Damian was intended to be a formidable warrior. Raised by Talia and the League of Assassins, Damian became a talented martial artist by the time he was a pre-teen.
Batman and Son
Damian was seen years later when Talia had him spy on Bruce with her.[1] Talia revealed Damian's existence to Bruce Wayne at ten years old and left him in his father's custody in an effort to disrupt Batman's work. Precocious, spoiled, selfish and violent, Damian battled Robin (Tim Drake), whom Damian wanted to replace as Batman's sidekick, and sucker punched him off the T. Rex model in the Batcave. Grounded by Batman, Damian escaped, donned a variant Robin costume made of Jason Todd's old tunic and assorted League of Assassin gear, and got into a fight with the villainous Spook, whom he decapitated. Although misguided and malicious, Damian seemed to genuinely want to aid Batman's war on crime as Damian saw himself as Wayne's true son though that remained unconfirmed.
Eventually, Batman confronted Talia, but both Talia and Damian were soon caught in an explosion. They survived the explosion, but a badly injured Damian required transplants of harvested organs, which his mother ordered her physicians to carry out. Damian made a full recovery.
The Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul
Talia, Head of the Demon, takes Damian to the Australian Outback where he is tutored in the secret history of his grandfather, Ra's al Ghul. Talia is unaware that a former servant of Ra's, named White Ghost, plans to use Damian as a shell for the soul of Ra's to return to Earth. This process would, of course, kill Damian. Talia is able to save her son from his fate at the last minute.
However, Ra's is still able to return, as a rotting, shambling undead corpse, still needing Damian to stabilize his form. Damian flees to alert Batman, but he's still pursued by his evil grandfather. Upon entering Wayne Manor, Damian attempts to relay to Robin the fact that Ra's has returned. However, Robin, suspicious of Damian's intentions, does not believe his story and begins a fist fight. Damian flees and encounters Alfred. Before he can effectively relay his news he is attacked by Robin, who perceives Damian's attempt to help a tripping Alfred as an attack, and renews their battle. As they fight, members of the League of Assassins approach the manor with the intention of killing all others within and bringing Damian back to Ra's alive. Damian and Robin (Tim) fight side-by-side against Ra's and his minions, with the help of Nightwing. However, their collaboration is hindered by their very different philosophies of battle, not to mention their strong dislike - even hatred - of each other. Damian is willing to betray Tim at any moment for his own safety. Ra's captures the two and tells Batman that he will use one of them for his own body. Batman offers his own body instead.
Ra's refuses the offer, feeling that he needs someone of a younger age. The choices are Robin or Damian. Batman offers a third alternative: "Fountain of Essence," which contains the qualities of a Lazarus Pit. Batman and Ra's go in search of the fountain, leaving Tim, Damian, Nightwing, Alfred, and Talia to battle the Sensei. Damian leaves his mother and Tim to an unknown fate, while he goes off to be with his father. Unfortunately, he ends up captured by Ra's and nearly loses his life. Batman and the others manage to save him, and Talia takes her son and escapes.
Batman R.I.P.
Sometime after surviving Ra's resurrection, Damian had sensed that someone is out to get Batman. In response to this, Talia began to formulate a plan.[2] It was later revealed that Bruce Wayne had performed a DNA test on Damian to determine any blood connection between them.[3] After learning of Batman's disappearance, Talia took Damian to Wayne Manor, where they deactivated a series of traps and saved Commissioner James Gordon in the process.[4] Damian rescued Alfred from a burning batcave and the kid took the Batmobile, driving it to Arkham in order to aid Batman against the Black Glove. On the road, Damian knocks an ambulance off a bridge, much to Alfred's dismay.[5]
After Batman's apparent death, Damian was left in the care of Alfred Pennyworth and trained by Dick Grayson.[6]
Battle for the Cowl
While Gotham was drowning in chaos, crime and corruption, Damian was joy riding in the Batmobile with a friend when Oracle called him to send him on a mission to the Gotham Harbor. Oracle took control of the car, but Killer Croc and Poison Ivy attacked the Batmobile and Croc knocked the car off the road into a stream. Damian was terrified and tried to talk his way out of the situation, but Croc was about to eat Damian until he was saved by Nightwing, who used the Bat-Glider to take Damian out of danger. While they were flying, they were shot out of the air and upon landing they were quickly surrounded by Black Mask's goons. Suddenly an impostor Batman appeared and shot the criminals, killing them all.[7] Dick fought the impostor, who was revealed to be Jason Todd. Jason shot Damian in the chest and Dick took Damian back to the Batcave, where Alfred healed Damian's wounds.[8]
Damian recovered quick and wanted to help Dick, who was already fighting Jason Todd. Alfred allowed Damian to go, but he sent him along with Squire. Together, Damian and Squire rescued Tim from a certain death when Todd's makeshift Batcave collapsed. Todd was defeated and Dick Grayson became Batman, with Damian as Robin. [9]
Despite working as Grayson's Robin, Damian expresses a strong willingness to take over the Batman identity himself if Dick is not "up to it." Damian has no respect for Grayson, and tells him that he needs to earn it if he wants his respect.[10]
It is revealed that Damian has begun to visit his father's former friend and enemy Thomas Elliot, also known as Hush, in the prison at the top of Wayne Tower that Dick and Tim put him in, and engages him in chess games. Damian claims that these visits are out of his curiosity for why Hush would alter his appearance to that of Bruce Wayne's. But Hush suspects that the visits are rather Damian's form of grieving for Bruce and a way to "spend time with your old man."
It becomes apparent that Grayson had chosen Damian instead of Tim because he sees Tim as an equal and not a sidekick. He chose Damian as he feels his character needs developing or he could be like Jason.[11]. Still, Damian mocks Drake and offers him the position of Batgirl, causing Tim to lash out and become the Red Robin[12] and search the globe for Bruce Wayne, who Tim believes is still alive. After his first fight alongside Dick, Damian gets upset with Grayson and goes looking for the villain Professor Pyg himself. The Professor captures him, or rather, is led to believe so by Damian, who is in complete control of the situation, waiting for the right moment to make his move. Despite his good intentions, however, Damian is still overpowered by a large number of Dollotrons. Bent on catching Pyg, he is saved only by the timely intervention of Dick Grayson. While pursuing Pyg, he overlooks an earlier promise he had made to Sasha (a promise to save her and take her to safety), the only Dollotron who has an intact personality. As a result, the young girl's sanity is bent by her traumatic ordeal and disfigurement, ripe for the Red Hood to sway to his side,[13] as her opposite number in the Red Hood battle against crime. The two are eventually defeated by Grayson and Damian.[14]
It appears that under Dick's teachings, Damian has begun to grow a conscience and has even demonstrated signs of empathy, particularly towards children. This is demonstrated by his behavior during a mission with the new Azrael and more recently during a Christmas case, in which Damian and Dick find the bodies of several dismembered kids, causing Damian to vomit in horror.
Damian and Dick came to a blow with Stephanie Brown, the new Batgirl, and Barbara Gordon, who acts as her mentor. However, even though Stephanie and Damian initially do not get along, he is intrigued by the new Batgirl, watching her in an attempt to "figure out what makes 'Stephanie Brown' tick" (something said while drawing a stick-figure Batgirl in the snow).[15]
Damian also becomes involved with the Wayne Enterprises' board members during one board meeting led by Lucius Fox. He manages to track down financial irregularities within the Wayne Enterprises accounts, intimidating the board of members along the way. The board becomes impressed that the young Wayne has such impressive business capabilities despite his young age, apparently inherited from his father.[16]
After Tim Drake is revealed to have named as Bruce Wayne's heir in accordance of his will made prior of his disappearance, Damian has filed an injunction with the boards to against Drake since he is Wayne's son.[17]
Blackest Night
- See also: Blackest Night: Batman and Batman and Robin: Blackest Knight
After Bruce's skull was taken from his grave, Damian and Dick decide to bring the rest of his skeleton, along with those of Damian's paternal grandparents, to their base beneath Wayne Tower. Damian is quite shaken by the sight of the bones of his family. On the way to the cave, Dick's body is possessed by Deadman, whom Damian lashes out at in confusion. Deadman then possesses and leaves Damian's body, subsequently passing his knowledge of the attack of the Black Lanterns onto him. The two heroes then prepare for the Black Lantern's assault on Gotham.[18] After raiding the Army Reserve National Guard Armory, Dick, Damian, and the arriving Tim Drake, are able to save Commissioner Gordon, Oracle, and the surviving police officers at Gotham Central from the reanimated versions of the original Dark Knight's deceased rogue gallery members. However, they then find themselves having a horrific encounter with Batman and the Red Robin's parents - the Flying Graysons and Jack and Janet Drake - reanimated as Black Lanterns.[19]. Dick and Tim send Damian with the Gordons to their underground base while they battle the Black Lanterns. Dick eventually orders Damian through their comm-links to send one of his Wingers with Mr. Freeze's gun. Grayson uses the weapon to cryogenically suspend himself and Tim, forcing the Black Lanterns to retreat as they are unable to read any sign of life of them. Deadman later revives the former Boy Wonders.[20]
Return of Bruce Wayne
Talia begun to clone Damian as she has realized that her son has completely sided with Dick Grayson and the Bat-Family. Damian finally stands up for his Robin mantle, telling Talia that being Robin was the best thing that he had ever done, and Talia does not need to save him from something he chooses to be. Talia then shows Damian the cloned version of himself, whom she sees as Damian's younger brother. Talia admits to Damian, that even though she loves him, he is no longer welcome and is now considered an enemy of the House of al Ghul. Damian defiantly replied that he hoped that he would be a worthy one. Damian (as Robin) is then seen teaming up with Batman and Alfred to begin the search for Bruce Wayne.[21]
Batman and Robin got into a confrontation with a villain known as the Getaway Genius, which caused Damian to actually want to know more about his father after learning that Bruce had also encuntered a villain by the same name.[22]
After Grayson's confidant Oberon Sexton was revealed to be the Joker in disguise, Damian tortured the villain by savagely beating him with a crowbar in order to get information along self-defense as Joker had planned to attack him.[23] However, the Clown Prince of Crime's appeared helplessness reveals to be another ruse and incapacitates Damian with his hidden Joker venom. The villain intends to use him and Dick of his fight against their common enemies: the Black Glove.[24] Help arrives in the form of the original Batman.[25] After Bruce Wayne helps Dick and Damian defeat the Black Glove and the Joker, Wayne accepts his son in additions of his role of Robin.[26] Despite Bruce's parental responsibilities to Damian, he decides that he prefers Damian to continue working with Dick (who maintains the Batman mantle and whom Bruce sees as a positive role model for his son) rather than being with himself primarily, due to his plans with Batman Incorporated.[27]
Teen Titans
Dick Grayson eventually sees that Damian requires friendship and compassion in order to curb his harsh methods. So Grayson takes Damian to Titans Tower, where Damian, despite not being a teenager, takes steps to become the leader of the Teen Titans.[28] His first mission ends in disaster after a super powered teen, who was using his powers in revenge for being bullied, is attacked by Damian after Raven is able to calm him down and the teen lashes out and escapes.
Eventually Damian and Ravager work well together to defeat the feral students in the cafeteria, even coming to a truce with one another after a few final insults. During this the other Titans defeat the super powered teen Head Case. Not long after this Tim Drake commissions the Titans help to deal with The Calculator causing for the first time there to be two Robin's with the Titans. While fighting against The Calculators androids Ravager states that Damian seems to "turn up the snark factor for his brother", after which both Damian and Tim reply "He's not my brother!" After revealing The Calculator to be an android as well, Damian quits the Titans stating "you fools will only get in my way" and "you still have a Robin" Also telling Tim that it is obvious that he is the one they prefer.
Upon his return to Gotham, Grayson notices that Damian's time with the Titans has made him more patient and he is less prone to use his weapons. After apologizing to Damian about his time with the Titans being a bust, Damian states that he knows Grayson sent him there to find friends but "[he has] one in Gotham and that's more than enough" implying that Grayson is the only friend he will need.
During the "Flashpoint" event, Professor Zoom creates an alternate timeline that removes the Flash while destroying his own legacy.[29] In this version of history, Bruce Wayne dies instead of Thomas Wayne and Damian is never born.[30] Eventually they find a way to repair the timeline from this dystopia, but Pandora alters the DC Universe even further.[31]
Born to Kill
The DC Universe heavily changed its continuity into the DCnU following the events of Flashpoint in 2011. This was part of an effort to make storylines more accessible to newer readers, beginning with the New 52. This new timeline combines elements from the DCU, Vertigo Universe and Wildstorm Universe while drastically changing the origins and histories of characters. |
Bruce and Damian begin patrolling together as Batman and Robin for the first time. Bruce tries teaching Damian about the sanctity of life, but has trouble relating with his son.[32] Damian begins showing restraint, which Bruce commends, although Alfred still criticizes him for not being supportive enough.[33] Bruce buys Damian a dog named Titus to teach him compassion. They were both targeted by a super-villain named Nobody.[34] They are kidnapped by Nobody, who tries to show Batman that his no-kill methods are ineffective. He encourages Robin's darker side and tries to take him as an apprentice.[35] Robin angrily leaves the Batcave to work with Nobody, who asks him to execute a criminal.[36] Robin reveals that he was lying, and refuses to betray his father. Nobody decides to torture Robin, continuing his personal vendetta against Batman.[37] When Batman discovers their location, he beats Nobody mercilessly. Nobody swears that he will return and kill their friends, so Damian shoots and kills him.[38] Instead of growing angry, Bruce reacts with compassion. When Damian gets out of the hospital, they talk about how difficult it is to adjust from the life of an assassin. Despite their differences, they play with Titus and enjoy spending more time together as father and son.[39]
Batman Incorporated
Bruce and Damian begin working together against his mother Talia, revealed as the head of Leviathan. During a fight in a meat factory, he converts to vegetarianism and adopts a pet named Bat-Cow. He is believed dead when he was shot in the head by an assassin named Goatboy.[40] It was revealed that Talia has created another clone as his replacement, the obedient fully-grown Heretic.[41] Robin is shown to have faked his death, and is confined to the Batcave at Batman's orders. To avoid the bounty on his head, he begins using the name Redbird and switches to a new costume.[42] This allows him to team up with Jason Todd, who is using the Wingman identity. They work together with Batman Incorporated to take down the League of Assassins' top killers. However, Batman tells Damian he has to quit crime-fighting altogether.[43] Bruce reveals that he has seen Damian's future, as told through "Batman in Bethlehem". If Damian does not retire, his actions will lead to a plague that forces the President to nuke Gotham.[44] Batman Incorporated fights Leviathan in the streets, while Damian is forced to stay inside. Alfred Pennyworth gets him a cat to take care of, who he also names Alfred.[45] Damian refuses to stay home while his allies are dying, and Alfred allows him to leave knowing he cannot be stopped.[46] He flies his exo-skeleton into the center of the battle, where Leviathan has taken over Wayne Tower. He neutralizes the child soldiers, and teams up with Dick Grayson to take down the remaining assassins. The Heretic flings Grayson aside, and challenges Damian to a sword-fight. Despite his bravery and refusal to give up, Damian is impaled through the chest and killed.[47]
After various trials and tribulations involving his corpse, mainly revolving around Ra's al Ghul and Apokolips, Batman managed to rescue his son's body and, though using the Omega Sanction infused within a Chaos Crystal shard, brought Damian back to life within the Batcave.[48]

- Driving: He learned to drive at the age of five.[53]
- Martial Arts: Trained by the League of Assassins, Damian has stated he knows just as many martial arts as Batman and can use them more effectively. This may be a largely overstated comment but one should not ask for verification. Damian may not be physically tough but he knows how to control his weight and has stated that he knows, "one thousand ways to kill a man." Damian's training has made him a formidable hand-to-hand combatant able to defeat or hold his own against multiple opponents, armed opponents or skilled hand-to-hand combatants.

- Throwing: Damian is trained by the League of Assassins in shuriken throwing and further trained by Batman in Batarang throwing.
- Ego: More often than not, Damian believes himself to be better than he is, this has allowed him to underestimate opponents as well as irritate his allies.

Emirates airlines, one of the world's biggest carriers, will stop flying over Iraq after concerns about the missile threat posed by Islamist militants, The Times reported on Monday.
Tim Clark, president of Emirates, said he believed other airlines would follow, as the industry began to review assessing the risk of flying over conflict areas after the Malaysia Airlines disaster in Ukraine. Flight MH17 was reportedly shot down by pro-Russian separatists using a surface-to-air missile, Al Arabiya reported.
"The horrors that this created was a kick in the solar plexus for all of us," Clark said. "Nevertheless having got through it we must take stock and deal with it."
By the end of the year airlines will have a system through which they can share information on troubled flight routes, Clark said.
Political sensitivities between governments should not bar input from government intelligence agencies about what airspace is considered risky, the British president of the Dubai-based airline said.
"This is a political animal but . . . the fact of the matter is MH17 changed everything, and that was very nearly in European airspace," Clark told The Times. "We cannot continue to say, 'Well it's a political thing'. We have to do something. We have to take the bull by the horns."
The Times reported that the United States was urgently investigating the possibility of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria fighters in northern Iraq acquiring missiles stockpiles from neighboring Syria capable of shooting down a civilian aircraft at 30,000ft or higher.
Hundreds of flights pass over ISIS-controlled territory in Iraq every day. A predominantly preferred route flies directly over the Iraqi city of Mosul, an ISIS stronghold.
Clark said that he was "not comfortable" with the situation. More than 50 flights travel from and to British airports cross Iraqi airspace, most of which are operated by Emirates.
Hundreds of Emirates flights en-route to and from major European airports received instructions to re-route flights that use Iraqi airspace daily. The changes will be implemented over the next week to ten days.
"We can't do it all at once because we have got an awful lot going through it, but yes we will be doing that," Clark explained.
Alternative routes being considered by the airline would take aircraft across Saudi Arabia and the Red Sea, over Cairo and finally into European airspace, adding add up to 45 minutes to flight times. Flying over Iran is another alternative being explored.
"That is the kind of thing that will demonstrate to the public that we take this extremely seriously and that is exactly what we are doing," Clark said.
Airline industry groups will meet tomorrow in a meeting convened by the International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations body that oversees civil aviation, to discuss ways to reduce the risks of flying over trouble zones.
Clark said that heads of major airlines, joined by their operational and flight and group-safety teams would aim to meet next month to work out what more carriers could do to improve their risk assessments.
"In the end the outcome of it will be a more refined sharing of information," he said. The Emirates boss added that he hoped any new information-sharing and disseminating system would go through the International Air Transport Association, a Geneva-based trade organization that represents about 200 global airlines.
This kind of cooperation would be the outcome of lessons learnt from the Flight MH17 tragedy. "I was absolutely beside myself with rage and anger with what happened," said Clark, who has been in the airline business for four decades.
"It is something that, as an airline person, it is very difficult to deal with. It is a slight on what you do. It suggests that you are not doing your job properly," he said. "From out of this ghastly, hideous mass murder if we are going to get anything out of it, it is that the airline community are minded to try and improve what they do."

Malaysian jet crashes in Ukraine
Four months after the tragic disappearance of a Malaysian jet in the Indian Ocean, a Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 crashed in eastern Ukraine killing all 298 aboard. According to Ukrainian and US officials, the plane was shot down by a Russian-made antiaircraft missile. Along with coping with this devastating loss, tensions increased in the region setting off even more concerns internationally. --Leanne Burden Seidel (28 photos total)

Liu said she "felt more terrible after hearing about Thursday's incident and is now more certain that MH370 did not crash because the downed MH17 showed how a crash should look like".

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Thank you very much for this function. I have used it and like it very much.
Is there any way now, or could a future enhancement be, to get lookup information form anther site?I use some codeplex custom field controls such as http://filteredlookup.codeplex.com/ to get lookup data from another site. I tried to use the function with the SPLookupAddNew: function but it will not work.
Does the function only recognize the default lookup field type?
Love it – keep up the excellent work.
You can have your Lookup columns reference data in other sites if you set up the Lookup column as a Site Column. Generally, I create the Site Columns in the root site so that they are available to the entire Site Collection. (Think about my examples of Countries and States. These values don't, nor should they, vary across the Site Collection.)
That said, my library relies on the specific markup in the DOM that SharePoint renders for each column type. Lookup columns have very specific control structures that the jQuery needs to be able to find for SPCascadeDropdowns to work. If you are using custom field controls like the one you linked to, I'm guessing that the rendering isn't going to match SharePoint's, so SPCascadeDropdowns isn't going to work.
You are right I should create a site column and stick with the regular look up. I will try it tomorrow. I was using the filter part of the custom field control but it is not essential for what I am doing. Is there a way to just filter a lookup with the Jqeury Library? The filter portion of the cascading drop down function is awesome. If that was a standalone function it would be great

Hi Marc,
I moved my source list in the root level and created a site column for the look up. I am using the SPLookupAddNew: in a subsite one level down. It looks like the function expects the lookup list to be in the same site as the function call..
My look up list is located here. http://companyweb/Lists/Properties
My newform with the function is located here http://companyweb/mdcprojects/Lists/Projects/NewFormCustom.aspx
Unless I am missing a parameter in my set up, when I click the link to add the new record to the lookup, the function looks for the list in the same site. Here is the link
For now I am going to move my list in the same site but it is not my ideal location for it.
It would be a great enhancement to get data from any lookup in the site collection. of course it is very useful as it is now too.
Thank you,
The function should find the list that the Lookup column refers to wherever it is. I do this by looking into the settings for the column in the current list (in your case http://companyweb/clientprojects/Lists/Projects).
What looks like it is missing is the server name in the resulting link: http://lists/Properties/NewForm.aspx?Source=http://companyweb/mdcprojects/Lists/Projects/NewFormCustom.aspx
It should be: http://companyweb/lists/Properties/NewForm.aspx?Source=http://companyweb/mdcprojects/Lists/Projects/NewFormCustom.aspx. Right?
Can you paste in the code you're using?
Here is my code from my http://companyweb/mdcprojects/Lists/Projects/NewFormCustom.aspx

" It should be: http://companyweb/lists/Properties/NewForm.aspx?Source=http://companyweb/mdcprojects/Lists/Projects/NewFormCustom.aspx. Right?"
Yes you are right
In my earleir post where I had "clientprojects" it is actually mdcprojects
OK, looks right, assuming that:
jquery.js = 1.3.2+ jquery.SPServices-Latest.min.js = v0.5.2
and ProjectProperty is a Lookup column which takes it' values from a column in the list http://companyweb/lists/Properties
jquery.js = 1.3.2+ Correct jquery.SPServices-Latest.min.js = v0.5.2 I have 0.5.0 I will upgrade and try again. I should have done that first.
I upgraded to jquery-1.4.2.min.js and jquery.SPServices-0.5.2.min.js I use the generic names so I don't have to edit each form I use the functions in.. I still have issue where the same issue where "companyweb" is absent
I am going to try on another server where i am not using the defualt "companyweb" name.
I will get back to you.
Thanks for your time.
I tried it on another server and could not replicate the problem. I created a site column look up in the root and used this function successfully on a sub site. It is a server that has a Domain name rather then "companyweb". I am kind of stumped on the first server. I was double checking my alternate access mappings and managed paths but I see no issue there.
I don't need to click on the URL all I need to do is hover over it to see it is missing the servername. The link does correctly have the source correct.
Can tell me how the server name is identified in the function? That might give me a clue. Perhaps it is the way companyweb was initially set up on this particular server.
I started to write up how the function works, but I remembered that the basic outline is on the doc page:
Is there a preferred method for me to isolate and run getlist and GetFormCollection web services?
I appreciate your time on this.
Here are two functions I use to test them. You'll need to add a DIV to the page with an Id, which you'd replace divId with below.
function callGetList() { $(divId).html(waitMessage).SPServices({ operation: "GetList", listName: "Regions", completefunc: function (xData, Status) { var out = $().SPServices.SPDebugXMLHttpResult({ node: xData.responseXML }); $(divId).html("").append("This is the output from the GetList operation:" + out); } }); }
function callGetFormCollection() { $(divId).html(waitMessage).SPServices({ operation: "GetFormCollection", listName: testList, completefunc: function (xData, Status) { var out = $().SPServices.SPDebugXMLHttpResult({ node: xData.responseXML, outputId: divId }); $(divId).html("").append("This is the output from the GetFormCollection operation:" + out); } }); }

Fenwick names new principal
Teacher takes over full-time, expects to teach one class
By Terry Dean
Becoming a school administrator wasn't in Peter Groom's plans when he became a teacher at Fenwick High School, fresh out of college in 1995. He began as a substitute that year at the Oak Park private school, located at Washington and Scoville. His brother was also teaching there at the time.
Groom, who has lately been serving as co-principal, was recently named sole, full-time principal, effective immediately. The Aurora native was previously dean of students and has continued to teach social studies. Fenwick announced Groom's appointment on Monday.
For the last six months he served in the co-leadership role with Richard Borsch, a longtime school administrator. The school went to this structure after failing to find a permanent replacement for former principal James Quaid, who left Fenwick in 2009 to become associate superintendent of schools for the Archdiocese of Chicago.
Groom said he expects to continue teaching one class next year in addition to his administrative duties. If the load becomes too much, he says he'll reconsider teaching but wants to stay in contact with kids.
"If I do stop teaching, it will take me too far away from students," Groom said in an interview with Wednesday Journal on Monday. "Not that a principal can't maintain close contact with students, but I think you can get lost in your office and in administrative work."
Concerning Groom's appointment, Rev. DePorres Durham, the school's president, said in a press statement Monday: "Mr. Groom is highly respected among the Fenwick faculty and staff, and has been dedicated to this student body and community for more than 15 years. As we embark upon a new five-year strategic plan for our school, we are confident that Mr. Groom will build upon the strong foundation of Fenwick while successfully guiding our future vision."
Groom is a former social studies department chair at Fenwick. That's as far as he thought he'd go as an administrator. His colleagues at Fenwick encouraged him to pursue administration — he was department chair for four years. He originally pursued a degree in history, a particular interest of his, at Loyola University but later switched to Dominican University, where he earned a master's degree in teaching.
A married father of three — he has a 3-year-old girl and two sons, 7 and 10 — Groom himself comes from a big family. He's the seventh of 13 children. His father worked for 30 years at Caterpillar as a production accountant, and his mother was a nurse. As a teacher, he says he's pretty traditional as a lecturer who encourages classroom discussions.
With respect to becoming sole principal, Groom said he wants to continue building on the school's strong academics, in addition to its athletics program.
"My main job is to look out for the academic interest of the students and school," he said.

I think everyone owes Mr. Richard Borsch a slap on the back for all his leadership during the last few years.
Congrats to Fenwick from 201 N. Scoville

Congrats to Fenwick for promoting someone within who has worked hard. At OPRF we have had two failed searches and are stuck with a principal that does not know the school or community! What has he done for our school?

Serviced Australian apartments are a good Australia accommodation option for anyone wanting to cater for themselves while travelling. They combine the advantages of a hotel with the freedom to be able to prepare one's own meals.
Bedding and towels are usually provided, and Australia apartments are serviced. The number of bedrooms in an Australian apartment can vary, from a studio, or up to three bedroom options available. Apartments contain a kitchen area with all crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils supplied. Some also have laundry facilities.
Serviced apartments are a very good option for people intending to stay in the one place for a while, who don't want to be eating out all the time. Holiday apartments with more than one bedroom are a good choice for families or groups wanting to stay together, but who are looking for a cheaper option than a hotel suite.
The advantage of a serviced apartment over a regular furnished apartment is that, like a hotel, the apartment is serviced regularly. Serviced apartment complexes can be found throughout Australia, in both capital cities and regional centres. They provide many of the same facilities as hotels, with many having pools, spas and gyms.

why does a dog eat its own feces
Of all the repulsive habits our canine companions have drinking from the toilet, rolling in swamp muck, licking their butts nothing tops the disgusting practice of eating poop. Their motivation may not be to gross us humans out, but it certainly does. So much so, in fact, that poop eating is often a reason people try to rehome a dog or even opt for euthanasia. There s a scientific name for this habit coprophagia (kop-r uh-fey-jee- uh ) and also both behavioral and physiologic reasons why some dogs view dung as a delicacy. If you have a poop eater, don t despair. There are ways to discourage the habit. Although not deeply probed by science there are few studies on it poop eating is a relatively common phenomenon. In a, researchers led by Dr. Benjamin Hart, from the University of California, Davis, found that:
16 percent (one in six) of dogs are classified as "serious" stool eaters, which means that they were caught in the act five times. 24 percent of the dogs in the study (one in four) were observed eating feces at least once. Hart wrote, "Our conclusion is that eating of fresh stools is a reflection of an innate predisposition of ancestral canids living in nature that protects pack members from intestinal parasites present in feces that could occasionally be dropped in the den/rest area. " His study consisted of two separate surveys sent to about 3,000 dog owners. While it is repulsive to human sensibilities, it s not really all that bad from a canine point of view. Dogs evolved as scavengers, eating whatever they found on the ground or in the trash heap, so their ideas of haute cuisine is somewhat different from ours. In his, animal behaviorist Steven R. Lindsay says, that coprophagia "may be one of several appetitive survival behaviors that have evolved to cope with the periodic adversity of starvation. " In other words, when food is scarce, you can t be picky. For some species, such as rabbits, eating fecal droppings is a totally normal way of obtaining key nutrients. In fact, if you prevent rabbits from doing this, they will develop health problems, and young ones will fail to thrive.
Fortunately, dogs do not need to get nutrients in this manner. It is, however, a normal, natural behavior at some canine life stages. Mother dogs will lick their puppies to urge them to eliminate, and clean their feces, for about the first three weeks. Puppies will also naturally engage in this behavior, eating both their own fecal droppings (known as autocoprophagia ), and those of other dogs ( allocoprophagia ), as well as cats and other animals. Some dogs find horse manure and goose droppings particularly appealing. Eating their own poop is harmless, but consuming that of other animals may cause health problems if the stool is contaminated with parasites, viruses, or toxins. In most cases, this behavior will fade before the puppy is about nine months old. When it occurs in puppies, coprophagia is generally considered part of the process of exploring the world around them. Most will be satisfied with a sniff, but a few will want, like human children, to put everything in their mouths. One bizarre fact: Dogs will rarely eat soft, poorly formed stools or diarrhea. They appear to be attracted most to hard stools. Frozen ones, in particular, are gulped down with relish. There is a reason why dog owners have coined the term, "poopsicle. " In his study, Hart made some other observations about why dogs eat poop: Coprophagia was more common in multi-dog households. In single-dog homes, only 20 percent of dogs had the habit, while in homes with three dogs, that rose to 33 percent. Poop eaters are no harder to house train than any other dogs. Females are more likely to eat poop, and intact males were least likely. 92 percent of poop eaters want fresh stuff, only one to two days old. 85 percent of poop eaters will not eat their own feces, only that of other dogs. Greedy eaters dogs who steal food off tables tend to also be poop eaters. Why Do Dogs Eat Poop? If your adult dog starts to dine on dung, you should consult with your vet to rule out such health problems as: diabetes, Cushing s, thyroid disease, and other conditions that might cause an increase in appetite drugs, such as steroids In many cases, dogs start to eat their own poop because of some kind of environmental stress or behavioral triggers, including: Isolation: Studies have shown that dogs who are kept alone in kennels or basements are more likely to eat poop than those dogs who live close to their people.
Restrictive confinement: Spending too much time confined in a small spaces can cause the problem. It s not unusual to see coprophagia in dogs rescued from crowded shelters. , often a result of a person using punishment or harsh methods during. According to this theory, dogs may eliminate and then eat their own poop to get rid of the evidence, but then they are punished more. It becomes a vicious cycle. Attention-seeking: Dogs eat their own poop to get a reaction from their humans, which they inevitably will. So if you see your dog doing this, don t overreact. Inappropriate association with real food: Dogs who are fed in close proximity to their feces may make a connection between the odors of food and those of poop and will be unable to tell the difference. Scenting it on their mothers. Lindsay writes that in some cases, puppies will get confused by sniffing fecal odors on their mother s breath after she has cleaned them. Also, sometimes mothers may regurgitate food that is mixed with puppy fecal matter. He calls this an "appetitive inoculation," which may set a puppy up to develop this bad habit. Living with a sick or elderly dog. Sometimes a healthy dog will consume stools from a weaker canine member of the household, especially in cases of fecal incontinence. Scientists hypothesize that this may be related to the instinct to protect the pack from predators. Veterinarians and dog owners have seen improvements with a handful of strategies, including: Vitamin supplementation. There s been a long-standing theory that dogs eat feces because they are missing something in their diets.
Vitamin-B deficiency, in particular, has been a prime suspect, and studies have backed this up. In 1981, scientists showed fecal microbial activity synthesized thiamine, a B-vitamin. Other research found other missing nutrients. Enzyme supplementation. The modern canine diet is higher in carbohydrates and lower in meat-based proteins and fats than the canine ancestral diet. Some people have had success with a meat tenderizer that contains papain, an enzyme. Taste-aversion products. The theory is that certain tastes and smells are as disgusting to dogs as the idea of stool eating is to us and that spraying certain substances on poop will make it less appealing. Many of these products contain monosodium glutamate, chamomile, pepper-plant derivatives, yucca, garlic, and parsley. Perhaps the best way to stop the problem is through training and environmental management methods, including: Keep the dog s living area clean, including the yard, so there will be no poops for him to pick up. Cat owners should keep that litter box clean or out of the dog s reach. Supervise your dog on walks, and pick up after him immediately. Training. Work hard on the commands and One simple exercise, suggested by and Gary Landsberg, DVM, Diplomate ACVB, is to teach your dog to come to you for a food treat as soon as he has eliminated. That way, the dog will develop a habit to run to you for a tasty tidbit, instead of reaching for the revolting recyclable on the the ground. Sources: Applied Dog Behavior and Training, by Steven R. Lindsay; "Coprophagia in Dogs Behavior," VCA Animal Hospitals fact sheet; "Coprophagia: The Scoop on Poop Eating in Dogs," Dr. Sophia Yin fact sheet Here s a short video with tips on dealing with this problem. ***If your pup is a chronic poop-eater, consult with your veterinarian. *** Eating poop. If you haven t seen your dog do it, I m sure you ve seen someone s dog do it. But why do they do it?
It s so disgusting. Technically referred to as coprophagia, the eating of feces is commonplace among dogs for a variety of reasons. According to the, the motivations your dog may have for eating its own feces include perfectly natural doggie instincts, but may also indicate some form of malnourishment. For the most part, dogs eat their poo because old habits die hard. Though our pups tend to be domesticated and housebroken, they still have the mentality that they live in the wild. In a state of nature, dog parents would often eat the feces of their young to keep their nest clean and prevent predators from being alerted by the smell. Another reason may be that in the absence of food, dogs ate their poop for the minimal nutritional value it offered. Since your dog doesn t live in the wild, 1. Flavor It might actually taste good to them. This is likely the result of being fed too much people food, enriching the feces with the residual scents and flavors of human cuisine. 2. Boredom While you may never have tried to kill time by eating out of the toilet, your dog doesn t have a smartphone or an Xbox to keep herself busy. 3. Anxiety Coprophagia can be one of the compulsions triggered by anxiety if your pup suffers from it, not unlike compulsive chewing. 4. Spring Cleaning Not spring necessarily, but if you have a backyard full of poop, your dog might just be doing the cleanup you should be doing. 5. Attention-seeking Behavior Do you react loudly every time your pup reaches for a bite of poo? Your dog might anticipate that reaction and simply do it to get you to pay attention to her. 6. Avoiding Punishment If the dog has been rebuked for pooping in specific places, then they may conclude that it is necessary to dispose of the evidence. 7. Monkey See, Monkey Do Your dog may simply be imitating the behavior of other dogs it knows. While gross to think about, it does happen. And shouldn t you know why your dog does the things he does? You can t get a more expert opinion. Featured image via

Here's the opening sequence to an ambitious alien artifact, human AI, hard science, space opera series of short stories based on the Holographic Universe Theory. Are you sufficienty hooked? Any fundamental flaws? Any major confusion?
Dr. Johnson looked at the name on his phone screen and immediately knew Dr. Rogers would be late.
"You're going to miss the big moment," he said.
"Can't help it. There was rail damage in the subway. I'm in a taxi. I'll be there soon for the second big moment."
The monitor flashed the message, "Acquisition compete," then the command "Learn" above a password request.
Dr. Rogers looked down at Buck and said, "Satisfaction delayed." The dog didn't understand AIs or subway systems, but understood his master all too well and whined his concern.
"Too bad about Dr. Rogers," he heard a voice behind him say. He spun around and saw a man sitting in a chair that had never been in the lab until that moment.
Dr. Johnson quickly put two and two together. "You damaged that subway rail. One voice command from me or him and there will be a complete and irreversible meltdown. We're not going to let our life's work - "
"I'm not interested in stealing your little mechanical friend. The problem is with Dr. Rogers. He's never shared your interest in the Holographic Nature Theory."
"It's not a theory. And who are you and how did you get in here? And what have you done with Dr. Rogers?"
"I'm not interested in harming Dr. Rogers either."
"What do you want?"
"I'm here to give you what you what want. That robot isn't your ambition as a scientist."
"It's not a robot. And how do you know what I want."
"We've been watching you for a while."
"I'm afraid we're going to have to leave Dr. Rogers out of the equation this time."
Then the stranger held up his thumb and index finger with two inches of space between them. It was insider sign language between the two scientists. Others always assumed it was a dirty joke.
"Dr. Rogers doesn't have a small mind."
"He has no interest in how the universe works."
By this point, Buck, who could see neither the being nor the furniture, nor hear a second voice, was becoming curious who his master was talking to. A split second later, his master was gone. The dog sniffed where the scientist's feet had been.
Dr. Johnson found himself in a different room. In the corner, same stranger, same chair. On the floor, the AI. In the center, a chamber. In the chamber, protruding from the ceiling, a ring the size of a human head.
He picked up the AI. "Where are we and how did we get here? And where's my dog?"
"You're on the verge of tapping into the holographic nature of the universe and you're concerned about your dog?"
Dr. Johnson tried to call Dr. Rogers and got no reception. "I can't leave Dr. Rogers wondering what happened to me and Robbie."
"You can have the universe or you can have Dr. Rogers. And you don't have all day to choose. I've got other appointments. Step into the chamber."
Dr. Johnson circled and inspected the device, but did not enter the chamber. "What is this thing? Who built it? What does it do?"
"It enables your mind to explore and exploit the universe by tapping into the universe's holograph nature."
"What's its power source? Are there no instruments? Doesn't it require maintenance? Has anyone ever taken a screwdriver to it?"
"Neither you nor anyone else is ever going to take a screwdriver to this device as long as we are its custodians. We've been studying your other questions for eons and have only vague clues. From what we can tell, it draws its power from the universe through the holographic connection and is self maintaining."
"Has anyone ever suffered any adverse side effects? Has it ever rejected anyone?"
"The device has never melted anyone's brain. And candidates are carefully selected, so the acceptance rate is nearly 100%. But a few candidates have been left behind because they asked too many questions. As I said, I have other appointments. Curiosity is natural, but you've reach your saturation point. Now step into the chamber."
Facing the alien and backing into the chamber, Dr. Johnson said, "First you said mind, then you said brain. There's a difference, you know."
"Last chance, place your head under the ring."
Dr. Johnson finally complied. The ring moved down. "I've got to leave a message with Dr. Rogers."
"Dr. Rogers is on his own until he unglues his mind. But I'm sure he'll take good care of your pet."
"I mean about Robbie."
"You, your invention, and your theory are a package."
The ring began to tighten. "We're partners. I couldn't have done it without him. Robbie's just as much his project as mine. And I need his password to activate the learn mode."
"We know your invention has an emergency protocal," the recruiter answered as the ring finished tightening. "We don't have a customer serivce department, but I don't want you calling out to me from wherever you're going next, so I'll have your fourlegged creature drop a hint."
"A trip wasn't part of the deal." He tried to pull his head out of the ring, then tried to pull the ring off his head. "Shut it down! Take me back to my lab!"
"Initiation has its consequences. I could have explained everything to you, but like so many others, you wasted my time by letting your curiousity get the best of you. For future reference, explore rather than inquire."
"There has to be a way to reverse this!"
"Apparently the device acts according to the candidate's truest and deepest desire and ignores the complexity of mixed and contradictory thoughts and feelings."
"Where are you sending me?"
"I'm not sending you anywhere."
"Where is this contraption sending me?"
"It's not sending you anywhere either. With your enhanced abilities, you're going to send yourself somewhere."
"Where you belong."
"Are we still on Earth?"
"So many questions. And the answer to that one is classified."
The last thing Dr. Johnson remembered thinking was how the recruiter was going to use an animal to communicate with a human.
Then the ancient, mysterious device activated and the rest of the universe overwhelmed his mind. He ceased any consideration of the scene in the chamber room and the scene in the lab.
Or Dr. Rogers or Buck or the recruiter. Or the device. Or himself.
He closed his eyes, lifted his index and middle fingers to his temples, and mumbled to himself, "It's connected ... it's all connected."
"I never get tired of watching that reaction," the recruiter said to himself.
Then Dr. Johnson was gone.

Mom Shares Terrifying Story About Alleged Encounter With Human Traffickers at IKEA
Diandra Toyos was wandering around an IKEA, testing out couches, with her mom and three children when she got the distinct feeling that something wasn't right. "After a few minutes, I noticed a well-dressed, middle aged man circling the area, getting closer to me and the kids," she wrote on Facebook. "My mom noticed as well and mentioned that we need to keep an eye on him." Toyos had her 7-week-old son strapped to her front and kept her other children, ages 4 and 1, within close range. She claims the man continued to circle their area, occasionally picking things up — his eyes always returned to her and her family. When they moved, he moved.

"They roll out the carpet for [Strahan] while seasoned talent is treated like dirt.

Strahan signed a special deal that allows him to continue to analyze football at "Fox NFL Sunday" and host ABC's "$100,000 Pyramid."

Pain tells your body that there is an issue. Stop running if there is pain.
If you believe your PT, what did they say you should do with your tendinitis. Maybe go see a Sports trained Ortho if you don't trust your PT.
R.I.C.E!!! --> Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate.
If it's on the outside of the knee, could be ITB. Switch your focus to Swim and Light Biking while the inflammation dies down.
The other thing you can do is: Try a brace to stabilize your knee. IF THAT WORKS, DO NOT KEEP RUNNING WITH THE BRACE. Focus on doing some core strength work to strengthen the muscles that should be stabilizing your knee. Again, do not use a brace long term... it is doing the work that your muscles should be doing, and if you continue to use the brace, you'll never strengthen those muscles.
Finally: try to identify the cause of the injury. Have you recently increased your daily/weekly distance? Been running on a new surface? Been unusually tired from other activities, and then pushing through your workouts?
By identifying the cause, you can focus your recovery/improvement activities to try to attack the problem at the source.
Disclosure: I'm not an expert. But my mom is a PT, and I've worked through similar knee issues before... so I'm parroting her advice.

The modern-day Scrooge can strike under many guises this holiday season, from a phishing link to full-blown identity theft. And since this holiday season is forecasted to be a particularly "tech" one, with more shoppers heading online and turning to their smartphones to purchase gifts, according to the National Retail Federation, you may be at risk to be tricked or fooled by someone on the naughty list.
Test your knowledge on identity theft during the holiday season.
According to the NRF, retailers in 2016 are expected to invest in solutions that simplify the shopping experience for consumers while incorporating smart technology for shoppers.
Technology will influence the upcoming holiday shopping season in many more ways. Look for Virtual Reality, mobile and alternative payments, location based strategies and new in-store experiences, according to the NRF.
Here are 8 ways to avoid holiday identity theft this year.
- Use Legitimate Sites When Shopping Online
There are signs to help indicate that a website is secure, such as "https" in the Web address and an icon of a locked padlock on the left side of the URL.
You should also be sure that emails sent to you with promotional links don't point back toward an altered link, often with one or two letters missing or changed. This could signal a phishing scam, designed to fool you into entering personal information, like your credit card number or your email and password, which may later be used in an attempt to compromise your identity.
- Use a Secure Network
When shopping online, avoid using a public Wi-Fi connection that is not password protected. Also consider using a Virtual Private Network, or VPN which directs your online activity through a secure, private network.
Remember that your phones and computers are also gateways to your personal information, so make sure they are password-protected and also secure.
- Be Careful of What You Share Online
Over-sharing information such as your children's names and dates of birth or even holiday plans can lead thieves lurking on your "friend" list to gain access to valuable information that could help them hack into your online accounts or even know when you're out of town to attempt to break into your property.
- Choose Cash or Credit over Debit
Credit cards provide more protection when it comes to fraudulent activity, since credit card companies monitor suspicious activity and can put a stop to fraudulent charges before they happen. Debit cards, on the other hand, immediately withdraw money from your account and don't offer the same level of protection.
- Use Protection Tools
Also take advantage of protection tools, such as ID theft alerts, enrolling in an identity theft protection company plan, and new chip cards, which add an extra layer of protection for consumers. If you haven't received a new card with a chip from your company, you should request one before you begin your holiday shopping. While no one can prevent identity theft or monitor all transactions, enrolling in an identity theft protection service such as LifeLock offers its members alerts, for example, when it detects someone trying to open a new account in their name.
Enrolling in an identity theft protection program and monitoring service like LifeLock can help protect your identity going forward. Protection like this gives you peace of mind knowing your identity is being proactively monitored, regardless of whether the next data breach hits close to home.
- Be Careful When Opening New Retail Credit Accounts
Many stores offer attractive discounts and incentives to those who open a store credit card account, but it's important that shoppers remain conscientious throughout the enrollment process. For example, you may be required to write down your Social Security number or other personal information when opening an account. Be sure no one is spying over your shoulder when you do so, and ask the sales associate how your information will be discarded after it is entered into the system.
If you receive promotional offers through email that seem too good to be true, be sure to do your due diligence. You'll want to make sure these offers are legitimate and secure before submitting any personal information.
- Be Leery of Skimmers
Remain on the lookout for devices attached to card readers or ATMs that could steal your financial data. Also watch out for anyone behind you in a checkout line that could be snapping a photo of your credit card number or other personal information.
- Check Your Statements and Credit Reports Twice
Always check over your credit card statements and credit reports, especially during high-volume shopping periods like the holiday season. Remain vigilant and inquire about any suspicious activity to catch any attempt at identity theft before it escalates.
