Negromancer News Bits and Bites August 6 2011 - Catwoman and R.I.P. Bubba Smith

News and notes:

First, I must note the recent passing of Charles Aaron Smith, better known as Bubba Smith, the NFL defensive linesman and prolific actor.  Smith played 9 seasons in the NFL and was on the Baltimore Colts team that won Super Bowl V (over the Dallas Cowboys), but lost Super Bowl III (to Joe Namath and the New York Jets).  As an actor, Smith is best known for Moses Hightower, the tall floriest turned cop in the Police Academy films.  The New York Times has a nice obituary of Smith.  Rest in peace, Bubba Smith.
