Delhi gang-rape verdict today: four accused brought to court; victim's kin demand death
A Delhi court is likely to pronounce today its verdict in the December 16 gang-rape case, in which four adult accused were tried for brutal rape and murder of a 23-year-old paramedical student in a moving bus. How the case unfolded | Accused and their role in the crime | Judgment day: evidence vs blatant denialindia Updated: Sep 10, 2013 12:53 IST
A Delhi court is likely to pronounce on Tuesday its verdict in the December 16 gang-rape case, in which four adult accused were tried for brutal rape and murder of a 23-year-old girl in a moving bus.
Additional Sessions Judge Yogesh Khanna had, on September 3, reserved his order for September 10 after the prosecution and defence closed their arguments.
The police had charged six persons in the incident. The case against one of the main accused, Ram Singh, was dropped following his death in Tihar Jail during the trial earlier this year.
The sixth juvenile accused was held guilty by the Juvenile Justice Board on August 31, and was sent to a remand home for three years.
The charges in the instant case were framed on February 2 during which the court also invoked section 366 IPC against them for abducting the girl with the intention of committing "illicit intercourse".
It had in its order described the juvenile as an associate of the adult accused, who committed gang rape in furtherance of the conspiracy and "common intention".
The four have been tried for offences under section 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder), 376 (2)(g) (gangrape), 377 (unnatural offences), 395 (dacoity), 396 (murder in dacoity), 201 (destruction of evidence), 120-B (conspiracy), 364 (kidnapping or abducting in order to murder), 365 ( kidnapping or abducting with intent secretly and wrongfully to confine person), 394 (voluntarily causing hurt in committing robbery), and 412 (dishonestly receiving property stolen in the commission of a dacoity) of the IPC.
Outside the court, the case had sparked a national debate about the treatment of women in the world's second most populous country.
"We live every day, we die every day for this verdict. Our child, before she died, said such people should be burnt alive," the father of the victim told Reuters in an interview.
Indian law prohibits naming the woman victim, but the media have dubbed her braveheart.
Her parents have built a wooden shrine in their bedroom to commemorate her. It contains two framed and garlanded photographs of her along with school trophies, books and dolls she played with as a child. The family received the three-bedroom apartment from the government after her death.
"To fulfil her last wish, with the help of all the evidence the court has, they must not be spared at any cost. They should be hanged and nothing else," her father had said.
Prosecutors had alleged that bus cleaner Akshay Kumar Singh, gym instructor Vinay Sharma, fruit-seller Pawan Gupta, and unemployed Mukesh Singh had lured the woman and a male friend onto the bus on the night of December 16 as the pair returned home from watching a movie at a shopping mall in south Delhi.
As the bus drove through the streets of the capital, the men repeatedly raped and tortured the 23-year-old with a metal bar before dumping her and her friend, naked and semi-conscious, on the road, prosecutors said. Her friend later recovered, but the woman's internal injuries were so severe that she died in a Singapore hospital two weeks after the attack.
Two of the suspects, Gupta and Sharma, had said they were at a party in a park when the attack took place. Akshay Singh had said he was hundreds of kilometres away in his village in Bihar state.
Full Coverage: she lit a flame
Mukesh Singh also denied being present, but during the trial he changed his story and said he had been driving the bus. He said his three co-accused had been on the bus, but he insisted he had not seen anything as the interior lights had been switched off after the victim and her friend had boarded.
The brutality of the attack shocked even in India, where newspapers daily publish a grim litany of sex crimes against women.
Under pressure to show results, the government set up a special "fast-track" court to try the accused quickly.
India rarely executes death row prisoners but there was huge public pressure on the government to hang the men if they are found guilty.
In March, the fifth accused, Ram Singh, hanged himself from the grille in the ceiling of his prison cell. Officials said he had made a noose from the mat he slept on.
A teenager tried separately in the same case was sentenced to three years in juvenile detention last month, the maximum penalty that could be imposed because of his age.
What happened during trial
During the trial, the special court judge had heard 85 prosecution and 17 defence witnesses in a total of 117 hearings. Among those who testified were the investigators who traced the bus using CCTV footage from a hotel and found the victim's blood inside the vehicle, according to a police report. The victim's male friend identified all of the accused.

Defence lawyers and prosecutors said they expect Khanna to be brief, reading out the charges against each of the accused and then delivering his verdicts. They do not anticipate that he will give reasons for his rulings.
India outraged after incident
Whatever the verdicts, the case has left an indelible mark on Indian society. Thousands of people took to the streets after the attack to protest against the government's poor record of keeping women safe and putting rapists behind bars.
A law passed in March provides for stricter punishments on gender crimes. It punishes repeat rape offenders with death, criminalises voyeurism and stalking and makes acid attacks, gang rape and trafficking specific offences.
Women's rights groups have welcomed the measures but say they do not go far enough, terming them "token gestures" from a government that is still plagued, like much of Indian society, by patriarchal attitudes.

WASHINGTON — As any parent knows, the pitter patter of little feet — and bigger ones too — can be a drain on the wallet.
But when it comes to taxes, your children can mean extra deductions and credits.
First, for each dependent child, you can take a $3,650 personal exemption. The more children, the more exemptions you can take. Each personal exemption serves to reduce your income.

Children under age 19 can be claimed as dependents; those under 24 if they are full-time students. Children 24 or older who are full-time students can be claimed provided their income is less than $3,650. Age limits do not apply to disabled children.
If parents are divorced, only one may claim the child as a dependent. Child support is not taxable as income, although alimony is.
The child tax credit has been expanded and will impact more people, said Greg Rosica, tax partner at Ernst & Young. For parents to qualify for the credit of up to $1,000, their child must be under 17, must be claimed as a dependent on the parents' tax return and must have lived at home for more than half the year. Only U.S. citizens, nationals or legal residents are eligible. As with many other credits, this one begins phasing out at higher incomes.
If the credit exceeds the income tax owed, taxpayers may be eligible for the Additional Child Tax Credit, which is refundable. That means you may be able to get the money even if you don't owe taxes.
For the 2010 tax year, there's also an expanded credit for parents who adopt a child. Mark Steber, chief tax officer for Jackson Hewitt, called it ""larger and more lucrative" than prior adoption credits. The maximum credit is $13,170 for each child, up from $12,150 in 2009. "In general," the Internal Revenue Service says, "the credit is based on the reasonable and necessary expenses related to a legal adoption, including adoption fees, court costs, attorney's fees and travel expenses." Eligibility for the credit begins phasing out for taxpayers whose adjusted gross income exceeds $182,520.
In another change from 2009, the adoption credit is refundable. Thus, qualified people will get the money even if they have no tax liability. There's a special form that must be filled out, Form 8839. Documentation showing the adoption was completed also must be provided. That means taxpayers who want to claim the credit cannot file electronically.
Another credit available to many parents with lower incomes is the Earned Income Tax Credit. The maximum income a family can have and still qualify is now $48,362. Actual credit amounts vary, depending on income, family size and other factors. Though a family with three or more children typically qualifies for the largest amount, the average credit last year was about $2,000.
As children get older and outgrow their clothing, consider donating the items they can no longer wear to charity. If the charitable organization meets the criteria established by the IRS, the donation could translate into a tax deduction. But remember that used items usually sell for far less than new ones. Only the fair market value of the item is deductible, and the item must generally be in good condition.
For parents of older children, the American Opportunity Credit could provide some relief from the cost of higher education. The credit, in its second year as an expanded version of the Hope credit, is a maximum $2,500 of the cost for tuition and other higher education expenses. The credit can be used for the first four years of college, compared to the first two years for the Hope credit. Students must be enrolled at least half-time. "If you have multiple students that you're paying for, you get to claim the credit for each of them," said Kathy Pickering, executive director of the Tax Institute at H&R Block.
The credit, which is partially refundable, also phases out at higher incomes.
For those that don't qualify for the American Opportunity Credit, another option might be the tuition and fees deduction of up to $4,000. The deduction doesn't require someone to attend school at least half-time.
"You cannot use both for the same expenses," Pickering cautions.
The IRS advises that "though the credit will usually result in greater tax savings, taxpayers should calculate the effect of both on the tax return to see which is most beneficial — the tax credit or the deduction."
The tuition deduction was included in the tax law passed by Congress last month. Because it came so late in the year, the IRS said it needs time to update its systems. As a result, people claiming the tuition deduction will have to delay filing returns until mid-February.

When you think about it, the sphere of Binah is supposed to kabbalistically represent the Divine Feminine of the cosmos on the Tree of Life, as the womb, the mother, the primordial darkness.
But Saturn, which is the planetary ruler associated with Binah, is always depicted as male, masculine, a force of oppressiveness and darkness.
It also doesn't make sense for there to be a Divine Masculine at Chokmah, and then another Divine Masculine at Binah.
Otherwise, how did they procreate the rest of the Tree of Life?
How does this make any qabalistic sense?
I wonder why.

The Dalai Lama -- not using a translator but speaking in English -- explains why celibacy is the best way of life: "We miss something, but at the same time, compare whole life, it's better, more independence, more freedom."
Considered a Buddhist Master exempt from the religion's wheel of death and reincarnation, the Dalai Lama waxed eloquent on the Buddhist credo of non-attachment.Less attachment, more peace and freedom.
"Too much attachment towards your children, towards your partner," was "one of the obstacle or hindrance of peace of mind," he said.
Comments please... if you are not too distracted by your own personal obstacles and hindrances.
IN THE COMMENTS: Paddy O says:
This is little different than Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 7.That "Seinfeld" episode is "The Abstinence."... I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord; but the married man is anxious about the affairs of the world, how to please his wife, and his interests are divided.That people assume hypocrisy on such comments is sad, but probably deserved in some cases. Not most, however. It's just the hypocrites that get in the news and cause such terrible problems.
And the unmarried woman and the virgin are anxious about the affairs of the Lord, so that they may be holy in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about the affairs of the world, how to please her husband.
I say this for your own benefit, not to put any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and unhindered devotion to the Lord.
Those that live up to this, who have lived as the Dalai Lama, do in fact find a focus and dedication. But it's hard. It's hard just like any kind of discipline is hard. Especially in a culture that equates sexual activity with identity.
Those who can face this passion, feel the burn and use the energy for positive directions, do in fact find an enlightenment of a kind that those consumed with sex can't, and won't, understand.
There was a Seinfeld episode on this... George gets entirely smarter when he can't have sex.
Jerry: You're no longer pre-occupied with sex, so your mind is able to focus.But let's not forget, if we're going to believe "Seinfeld," that "the no sex thing" has a "reverse effect" on women:
George: You think?
Jerry: Yeah. I mean, let's say this is your brain. (Holds lettuce head) Okay, from what I know about you, your brain consists of two parts: the intellect, represented here (Pulls off tiny piece of lettuce), and the part obsessed with sex. (Shows large piece) Now granted, you have extracted an astonishing amount from this little scrap. But with no-sex-Louise, this previously useless lump, is now functioning for the first time in its existence. (Eats tiny piece of lettuce)
George: Oh my God. I just remembered where I left my retainer in second grade. I'll see ya. (He throws finished Rubik's cube to Jerry and he exits.)....
Elaine: What is with all these books?
George: I stopped having sex.
Jerry: To a woman, sex is like the garbage man. You just take for granted the fact that any time you put some trash out on the street, a guy in a jumpsuit's gonna come along and pick it up. But now, it's like a garbage strike. The bags are piling up in your head. The sidewalk is blocked. Nothing's getting through. You're stupid.
Elaine: I don't understand.
Jerry: Exactly.
So this promotion of celibacy, in "Seinfeld" logic, is a male supremacy scheme.
Ah, but recognize that the "Seinfeld" logic is also a male supremacy scheme.
Which male supremacy scheme is more powerful?

This is a good criticism. It has no air of self-entitlement...the poster is not acting as if the creators owe him anything. I also agree with this poster. Cartman shooting people is ridiculous. He's not likeable at all when he pulls sh*t like that.
I think their problem recently is relying too much on parodies and not making the parodies make sense without knowledge of the material. I haven't seen World War Z, either.
Let it be known that even when South Park makes a bad episode, the creators are doing you a favor. They are entertaining you for thirty minutes. It's so lame when people say "I just wasted 30 minutes of my precious time watching this CRAPPY episode!!!" Oh please. 30 minutes is nothing. It's not even 0.0001% of your life.
You're doing them absolutely no favors and never did anything for them. Please remember this.

Re: *1703: World War Zimmerman* Post-Air Discussion
I enjoyed some of the comedy but for reasons I've mentioned could not get many of the references.
Highlights for me from this episode were:
*Butters beatboxing
*"Fist bump bro"
*Les Miserables reference
*Cartman mentioning that black people "invented rock and roll" at the beginning (I really loved that mention, as a fan of much of the jazz and blues that 60s and 70s rock musicians borrowed from)
*The black zombie apocalypse in Cartman's nightmare
*"Black guy in the back"
*Zimmerman frying
So in my opinion, there was plenty to laugh about in this episode despite not getting the movie references. I just didn't much care for the writing or structure of the episode which I'm betting I would've understood better, had I gotten the references.

Re: *1703: World War Zimmerman* Post-Air Discussion
I could tell that there was no way someone who hadn't seen the movie would get the references. The oversaturation of parody and in-jokes definitely would turn a lot of people off to it.
It's like a bad skit at an anime convention masquerade, where the actors forgot that not everyone in the audience has seen the show, played the game, read the books, etc. that their skit is based off of, and instead used so many references and in-jokes that anyone who's not in the fandom cannot even tell what it's about.
I'd give it a 6.5/10. Pretty forgetable episode, even though I understood all of the WWZ references.

Re: *1703: World War Zimmerman* Post-Air Discussion
1. It relies too heavily on a movie reference. This CAN work, but it rarely does. People who haven't seen the movie are alienated, plus it ages faster than other episodes with original plots. This isn't dooming, but when coupled with...
2. ...a current event plot, it becomes disastrous. It's ironic that M&T expressed hesitation to do things so "passe" like having Cartman rig the Special Olympics, yet they have been doing high-profile current event episodes like clockwork.
3. It's shocking to see M&T completely on the wrong side of the issue for once. The presentation of the evidence and the GZ trial is something I'd expect to see in Family Guy, not South Park. Especially with the emphasis on the stand your ground law to make GZ seem like the aggressor - anybody who gets their news outside of Jon Stewart could easily tell you that GZ waived the stand your ground defense before the trial started and it had 0% influence in the actual legal proceedings. But at this point it's beating a dead horse.
4. It just wasn't funny. Structurally, it didn't make any sense. As another poster said, it seems like they came up with the name of the episode before the story.

When Brad Davis showed up to the Houston Dynamo locker room before his first training back from helping the USMNT to a win over Panama, which saved Mexico's World Cup hopes, he was greeted with trinkets and music courtesy of teammates intent on not letting his newfound hero status south of the border go unnoticed.
Now, Davis is hoping he left the same type of impression north of the border.
In just more than 34 minutes on the pitch, Davis put on a man-of-the-match-type performance assisting on the Americans' first two goals in a 3-2 win that shook up the CONCACAF qualification table. Davis is hoping the impression he left on head coach Jurgen Klinsmann is as big as the one he left on his neighbors to the south.
"I think I left a good lasting impression," Davis said. "Once you get to that level it's about an opportunity and making the most of it and being consistent. I'm happy with where we're at right now."
Davis has spent 2013 working his way into Klinsmann's plans, starting with a call into the January camp. Since then, he has made five World Cup qualifying appearances, including helping to see out a historic point in Mexico City in March over the nation whose World Cup hopes he ultimately helped to save.
Still, heading into the game in Panama, Davis knew he was standing on the fringes of Klinsmann's roster for Brazil.
With only a handful of friendlies between now and next summer, the Panama game was Davis' time to shine. And even though his seat is still far from guaranteed, especially considering the USMNT's crowded midfield, his substitute appearance was a fine way to cap a year of World Cup action.
"I've been a part of the qualifiers and gotten some games … and get some good minutes," Davis said. "Feel good and was really happy about the performance by the team and everybody. Now we look forward to Brazil."
His late work against Panama will surely give Klinsmann a lot to think about. The corner Davis floated to the head of Clarence Goodson for the opening goal was good, but he upstaged himself with his sublime first-time ball to the head of Graham Zusi – San Zusi as he's now been dubbed by Mexican fans – in stoppage time to guarantee a result.
"I think it's taken for granted at the club level," head coach Dominic Kinnear said of Davis' skill. "Everyone says 'Oh, Brad's got a good left foot' and now everyone's paying attention to it because now he's on a national stage.
"He's been working hard to get this chance and take advantage of it," Kinnear continued. "He's put himself, hopefully, at the front of the line going to Brazil and that's a good thing to see."
Regardless of whether he's on the trip to Brazil, he will always have the trinkets from his teammates to remember his best night in a USMNT uniform.
"It was great," Davis said of his teammates' welcome. "I walked in and the lights were off and I had candles and a little shrine. It was good, it was funny."

Hillsong Kids has recently released a brand new DVD entitled, "Can You Believe It?". The movie is geared towards ages seven to fifteen years old. The DVD features a few music videos to go along with Hillsong Kids brand new album. The movie contains Funny Man Dan which included two hosts who interviewed some of the special singers who are in the music videos. They also play a few fun games to help kids understand some of the concepts of Christ. They also included special lyrics videos to some of the songs where listeners can sing along with. The DVD also included live in studio of the different songs where listeners can experience the song live and actual see the singers behind the vocals. The movie is only about 30 minutes.
I would recommend this DVD to anyone who enjoys Hillsong and they love their music. The vocals from the singers featured children and teenagers where kids can relate to them. The music videos included kids acting, singing, and dancing. I liked how the songs and music videos was all kid friendly and they displayed kids enjoying their life and they appeared happy and filled with Christ's love. I also liked how clear the video was and how bright they made the set to help capture kids attention. They showed breathtaking nature scenes throughout the music videos to show God's creation and to help listeners to worship God. I think this DVD movie would make a great gift for children and I could see it being used in a youth group setting to encourage our youth.

About the DVD:
"Can You Believe It!? - Songs of Truth" is both a question and a challenge... a statement of gratitude to a loving God and an invitation to explore the very foundations of faith. Classic songs like "My Best Friend", "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" and "What A Beautiful Name" join brand new declarations of faith such as "As The World Shakes" & "Heaven Is Our Home". We pray that this collection of fun and vibrant songs, help children around the world to declare biblical truths about God's love and grace for them.
Hillsong believes that teaching children to love God and others takes place in both the home and in the church. For this reason they seek to partner with parents (the greatest teachers of all!) and with church pastors and leaders, equipping them with great resources. Through fun experiences, meaningful music and ministry that encourages kids to participate, Hillsong Kids presents Jesus Christ and His Church in a relevant way, creating moments which children will never forget.

TOKYO – Japanese household spending fell 1.5 per cent in February from a year earlier, suggesting consumers are tightening belts ahead of an April 1 hike in the country's sales tax.
The government also reported Friday that core consumer prices rose 1.3 per cent in February, though a large share of the increase was due to rising energy costs.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is striving to spur inflation to pull Japan out of a two-decade economic slump. The strategy hinges on getting consumers and businesses to make purchases sooner rather than later. But so far wages have not risen, and the rising cost of living seems to be triggering still more belt-tightening.
Overall, the economic data is mixed. Retail sales rose 2.8 per cent from a year earlier, but cold weather put a damper on car sales, which fell nearly 6 per cent year-on-year. Unemployment fell to 3.6 per cent from 3.7 per cent the month before, but seasonally adjusted household incomes fell 1.3 per cent.
"Household spending data for February is not that good," said Junko Nishioka, an economist at RBS Japan Securities. But she noted that prices for durable goods such as television sets are rising as manufacturers pass higher costs for imported components on to consumers.
Spending is likely to rebound in March on a rush of last minute buying, she said.
Starting next month, Japan's sales tax will rise from 5 per cent to 8 per cent, and economists expect that will drag on growth but not derail the stimulus-driven recovery that began last year.
Abe has pledged to seek more stimulus for the economy if the tax hike proves a harsher blow than expected. With inflation flat at about 1.3 per cent, far short of the official 2 per cent target, expectations are rising that the central bank may expand its monetary stimulus further to help cushion the blow to growth from the sales tax hike.
In theory, rising consumer demand should help push wages higher, especially given the shrinking of Japan's labour force as its population falls and ages. But while some major manufacturers have raised wages slightly, overall employers have instead increased hiring of part-timer workers and overtime.

It has been the emblem of the city for more than 800 years: Magdeburg Cathedral, a silent witness to centuries of major events and church history. Despite the fact that Martin Luther was once refused entry to this house of God, the age of the Reformation began here. The Monday demonstrations of 1989, a series of peaceful protests, were also held here...
This is where Otto I the Great began to implement his brilliant idea: converting the east to Christianity. A Benedictine monastery that he commissioned in 937 on Cathedral Hill in Magdeburg, in addition to the first Ottonian cathedral, confirmed his mission. An octagonal porphyry fountain base, which is still used as a baptismal font today, bore witness to these major events of the past. The present-day cathedral, the first Gothic cathedral to be built on German soil, dates back to 1207. It has survived the turbulent times following the Reformation, which involved looting and destruction and the loss of most of the wooden works of art, in particular the altarpieces for the cathedral's 46 side altars.
It became a cattle shed, warehouse and armoury during the Napoleonic Wars, and was heavily damaged during World War II. The burial site of Otto the Great, founder of the Kingdom of Germany within the Holy Roman Empire, who is laid to rest here with his wife, and the "Magdeburg cenotaph", Ernst Barlach's famous sculpture to commemorate those who perished in World War I, are evocative of important historic events in this monumental yet unostentatious cathedral. The cathedral converted to Protestantism in 1567 and is currently the seat of the Evangelical bishop. It is a place of protest yet broadening awareness, caught between new beginnings and mortality.
Opening hours: May to September: 10am to 6pm; October: 10am to 5pm; November to March: 10am to 4pm, April: 10am to 5pm; Sundays and religious holidays: open from 11:30am
Entry: free
Nearest train station: Hanover or Braunschweig
Monday to Friday, 12pm: midday prayers; every Thursday at 6pm: interfaith prayer for peace; tours of the cathedral and tower, including night tours and children's tours, available (for a fee). For more information (in German), visit:

Quade wrote:The problem is you're using wine and linux so, anything you observe might be related to that. There's no way for me to tell. It's one reason I don't do much trouble-shooting in linux threads because I just don't know. You're starting from a different baseline and I have no experience with Wine at all.
DThor wrote:I've not experienced that, sorry. FWIW I'm running wine wine-1.3.12.
DThor wrote:To clarify - Newsbin isn't supported on Linux. The fact you can get it working on there is just a cool extra. It's up to wine to be your chauffeur.
I've run many different configs with Newsbin, mostly without trouble, I can tell you right now that kernel versions and graphics hardware/driver combinations are not your enemy. It's mostly about wine, I'd upgrade it.
I'm running SUSE 11.4 on a fairly highend workstation, I've also run that config in a SUSE VM on Win7 without those sorts of problems.
DThor wrote:Not a clue. Do you need the par files? You know that v6 basically deals with all that, right? You shouldn't have to fiddle about with the order. If the post is incomplete and recent, by default Newsbin will wait for further posts. You can push it along if you think there's enough pars by Assemble Incompletes.
DThor wrote:I'm suspecting the very specific posts you're talking about have no pars, or no pars that are matching up with the primary file.
DThor wrote:Just a guess, but I'm betting this is one of those posts with a hundred files, not rars, and a parset for them. I'm unsure if Newsbin could ever work with those.
How could it possibly know that the foo.lit, bar.lit have anything whatsoever to do with the par files?
DThor wrote:Well, if you think about it, it can't know. It's trivial for par because by you having the par files downloaded in the same directory as the files and you run the util, it simply finds them there. You're intervening. It needs to open the par file and process it to do that. When there's just a crapload of differently named files on usenet and some par files, I'm unclear how Newsbin can know to connect them. At that point, it means doing exactly what you're doing. I don't think it's ever behaved differently, unless I'm missing something.
Quade will probably comment, he's away for most of the day.
Quade wrote:Newsbin works with split out pars and with non-rar files. I can't really figure out what you're expecting or what you're seeing. It's not going to try to repair until you've downloaded at least 90% of the data per set though.

Keeper Shay Given, 36, and 31-year-old skipper Robbie Keane, the nation's two most-capped players, in particular were unable to reproduce their best form in Poland and Ukraine as Ireland slipped out of the competition having failed to claim a single point.
But Trapattoni said: "When you do your job well - until now, I think they have played well for our country, and we must have a reason. In your job, when you get old, if they gave you a pension and say. 'Go' without respect, what would you think? It's not loyalty only, it's correct."
He continued: "We asked them yesterday for a good performance and we played very well. We played at the same level as Italy. We need a reason to change it on the pitch. [Aiden] McGeady played well, [Kevin] Doyle played well, also Robbie.
"It's not loyalty, it's respect because they helped us to achieve qualification and we must give them the honour of playing. You are not sure that if you make changes, the result will be any different. It's 50-50. When you are sure, you can change, but only after the 90 minutes can you be sure that the change is good.
"Until now is has been good, and I can't just turn the page and forget about it. It's not professional, it is not correct."
Ireland's involvement in the competition came to an end with a 2-0 defeat by Italy in Poznan, although their hopes of reaching the qualification were already long gone.
Rumours have been circulating for several days that some of Trapattoni's senior men, including Given, Keane, Richard Dunne and Damien Duff, could announce their retirement from the international game in the wake of the tournament.
None has yet done so formally, but the 73-year-old, who revealed last night he had spoken too "one or two" players about their futures, is hoping they will stay on to help blood a new generation. He said: "I can say the names, but I won't say the names. I am sure they need to stay with their families, I don't know.
"But I said two months ago, it is important for us that these senior players help also the young to gain new experience. That's life, it is not only football. The young are usually arrogant or shy and the senior players help them grow. That is life, it is not only football."

SAN DIEGO -- A mother and her 7-year-old son have been reunited five years after the boy was kidnapped by his father and taken to Mexico, authorities said.
According to the San Diego District Attorney's office, the boy had been living with his grandparents near Mexico City after his father, 37-year-old Julio Rocha kidnapped him and left him there.
"I haven't really celebrated Christmas or his birthday or anything," he boy's mother, Leilani Masumoto, told NBC 7. "I was just waiting to get him back home. This will be our first Christmas together."
Masumoto said she had just been given full custody of her son, Keoni, when Rocha took the boy to Mexico. But last week her prayers were answered.
That's when authorities got a call from the grandparents' next-door neighbor, who came across a missing children's poster online with the boy's photo and recognized him.
'Broke down in tears'
After years of anguish, mother and child were finally reunited.
"As soon as he came, I just broke down in tears," Masumoto recalled.
But they are tears she says she would not shed if she ever has to face Keoni's father again.
Read more stories from NBCSanDiego.com
"I think my first initial reaction would be to just slap him across the face. I don't think he cared about Keoni, it's just more the fact of taking him to hurt me and he accomplished that," she said.
Although she may have lost years of memories with her son, it only took one look at her little boy to find that love again.
"It was like, will I recognize my son? Will he recognize me? And when I saw him, that was it," she said.
Right now, Masumoto is focused on getting her son settled in back home.
Keoni is autistic so Masumoto is trying to find a school that focuses on special-needs students.
Authorities are still looking for Rocha. He is facing felony kidnapping charges.
Investigators say he might be going under the name Miguel Martinez and may be staying with relatives in Virginia or North Carolina.

Unfortunately I feel the main stream developers still afraid of it.
However, in analogy to Hagrid's spiders I would say that Generics are seriously misunderstood creatures... :-)
I hope the following example will demonstrate how useful they can be.
The Problem - DAO (Data Access Objects) classes have common methods such as save, update, delete, loadAll.. which are required in every DAO class.
Writing a base class with these common methods and making every DAO object extend it, is simply not enough since each DAO class represents a different domain class and therefore the type used in the common methods' signature is different (although implementation is similar), for example:
class OrderDAO { //save method receive an Order public void save(Order order){....} //getAll method return Orders List public List<Order> getAll(){...} } class UserDAO{ //save method receive an User public void save(User user){....} //getAll method return Users List public List<User> getAll(){...} }
How Generics can help us create a base class with a common implementation and yet, keep method signature type-safety?
First, we need to define an interface with the common methods:
/** * Base interface for CRUD operations and common queries */ public interface IDaoBase<T> { public List<T> loadAll(); public void save(T domain); public void update(T domain); public void delete(T domain); public T get(Serializable id); /** * Get list by criteria * @param detachedCriteria the domain query criteria, include condition and the orders. * @return * */ public List<T> getListByCriteria(DetachedCriteria detachedCriteria); public List<T> getListByCriteria(DetachedCriteria detachedCriteria, int offset, int size); }
Please note that we utilize generics so each method signature has a type T, which in the implemented DAO classes, will be a concrete type, per domain.
The second step is to create an abstract class which implements the common functionality:
public abstract class DaoBase<T> extends HibernateDaoSupport implements IDaoBase<T> { private Class<T> entityClass; @Autowired public void setSession(SessionFactory sessionFactory){ this.setSessionFactory(sessionFactory); } public DaoBase() { entityClass = (Class<T>) ((ParameterizedType) getClass() .getGenericSuperclass()).getActualTypeArguments()[0]; } public List<T> loadAll(){ return getHibernateTemplate().loadAll(entityClass); } public void delete(T domain) { getHibernateTemplate().delete(domain); } public void save(T domain) { getHibernateTemplate().saveOrUpdate(domain); } public void update(T domain) { getHibernateTemplate().merge(domain); } public T get(Serializable id) { T o = (T) getHibernateTemplate().get(entityClass, id); return o; } public List<T> getListByCriteria(DetachedCriteria detachedCriteria, int offset, int size) { return getHibernateTemplate().findByCriteria(detachedCriteria, offset, size); } public List<T> getListByCriteria(DetachedCriteria detachedCriteria) { return getHibernateTemplate().findByCriteria(detachedCriteria); } }
And that's it !
Take a minute or two to inspect how the base object implements a generic functionality with a type-safety manner.
All we have to do when implementing a new DAO is:
1. Interface to extend the IDaoBase with a concrete type
public interface DaoUser extends IDaoBase<User> {//<=Notice the User typing //Add any additional custom methods.. public User getbyUsername(String username); public User getbyEmail(String email); }
2. Implementation to extend the DaoBase with a concrete type
//This class has all the common methods, which are type safe for the User class @Repository("daoUser") public class DaoUserImpl extends DaoBase<User> implements DaoUser { //<=Notice the User typing public User getbyUsername(String username) { // concrete implmentation ... }
So now you see how powerful it is to use generics. Hope it is now a bit less scary and more understood...
Please post me if you have further cool tricks utilizing generics for ease development.
Moreover, if you think any of the above can be improved, I'll be happy to hear about it.

A new product popped up on Lenovo's website Tuesday, an Ultrabook the company has apparently let out of the bag before making an official announcement.
Called the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch, the book looks to be a Windows 8-optimized take on the ThinkPad X1 Carbon.
Touch, you can tell, is a hallmark feature.
According to its posting, Lenovo is preparing this W8 device for a December launch.
As the image above reveals, the X1 Carbon Touch is a 14-inch device equipped with what Lenovo is calling an "HD+" display and carbon-fiber assembly.
Other than highlighting its Windows 8 touchpad gesture capability and thin and light build, there's not much to go on for the new Lenovo Ultrabook.
TechRadar gave the ThinkPad X1 Carbon high marks for its stellar battery life, solid performance, great build quality, generous SSD drive and inviting keyboard, though it wasn't without its faults.
With a touch-less sibling hitting a lot of high notes, let's hope Lenovo won't sacrifice quality simply to throw another Windows 8 product on the market.

Woman gives birth at Carwash - Baby gets free washes for life
For years Splash Car Wash in Wilton has been a great place to bring the kids for fun while getting your car washed, but early on Tuesday June 3rd it was the site of different kind of joy for brand new parents. On Monday evening, June 2nd Carey and Donna Paley were hurriedly traveling down Route 7 in Wilton with Donna about to give birth to their son. While on the phone with their midwife they were told to pull over and find a safe spot as they weren't going to make it to the hospital.
Cary pulled into the Splash Car Wash site on Danbury Road at around 1am and called 911. Wilton Police responded within a minute and a few moments later the Paleys were proud parents of a baby boy, David Maxwell Paley. EMTs also responded and transported the happy family to Norwalk Hospital in an ambulance.
The Splash crew was bewildered by the abandoned car the next morning in their lot. Cary stopped by later to explain what happened and asked if he could have Splash do a detail on the car. David Jones, detailing manager for Splash said cheerily, "This was probably the most challenging job I've seen since I've been at Splash. We did a good job for the Paleys but I don't think we'll be adding this to the menu of services we offer any time soon."
As a family friendly establishment for 27 years Splash has seen its share of expecting employees and customers alike. Owners Chris Fisher & Mark Curtis had always joked of providing free car washes for life to any baby born at a Splash location. Upon hearing about the unusual delivery Chris and Mark agreed that the time had come to honor that pledge. Curtis called to tell the proud father that, free of charge, Splash Car Wash would be happy to continue cleaning up after their new child, David for a long, long time to come.

Ahhh, don't you just love a good WTF American Horror Story teaser to kickstart your weekend?
The newest teaser for American Horror Story: Apocalypse shows that same creepy black hand from the Season 8 poster reaching out toward a fig and slicing it open with one ultra-sharp nail (anyone else getting Countess vibes?). From inside the fruit, two scorpions slowly and ominously crawl out. The video comes with the tag line "Fear what is forbidden," and naturally fans are already running rampant with speculation about what it all means.
The most popular theories lean into a full-on biblical apocalypse, which actually tracks well with what we know of Season 8 so far. Executive producer Alexis Martin Woodall confirmed at the Television Critics Association summer press tour that Apocalypse will be about an actual apocalypse. We also know that the antichrist, Michael Langdon, will return all grown up and now played by Versace's Cody Fern.
FX Renews American Horror Story, Because This Show Will Never Die
Hmm, we may need to brush up on the Book of Revelations if we're going to figure this season out...
American Horror Story: Apocalypse premieres Wednesday, Sept. 12 at 10/9c on FX.

Among the keenly observed moments in the new documentary about Ai Weiwei is an exchange between the artist, under house arrest in China on trumped-up charges, and his mother. "If this was 1957 they would have killed you already," she tells him, and the weight of that observation registers on the seemingly fearless provocateur's face.
In 1957, the year of Ai's birth, Maoist China began a purge of intellectuals. Ai's poet father was reduced to cleaning toilets. No such obscurity has befallen the subject of "Ai Weiwei: The Fake Case," whose large-scale conceptual works have made him a leading figure on the international art scene, albeit one who can no longer travel internationally.
Danish filmmaker Andreas Johnsen focuses on the year of probation after Ai's 81-day detention in spring 2011, widely considered government retaliation for his unrelenting criticism. Johnsen's film is neither a straightforward portrait nor a self-reflexive political commentary like "This Is Not a Film," made during Iranian director Jafar Panahi's house arrest. "Fake Case" assumes a certain familiarity with Ai and his work — explored more thoroughly in Alison Klayman's "Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry." But as a follow-up and a companion piece to that 2012 documentary, Johnsen's new work is remarkably intimate and astute.
Under constant surveillance, his stamina challenged and legal team dwindling, Ai faces the tax-evasion lawsuit against his company, playfully named Fake, that gives the film its double-edged title. Johnsen's camera catches that playfulness wearing thin and the respite that Ai's young son provides.
It catches Ai pushing on, assembling a major installment series that is pointedly autobiographical: scenes depicting his detention. Whether Ai will regain his passport is an open question. A sculpted version of his prisoner self, meanwhile, is touring the world.
"Ai Weiwei: The Fake Case" -
No MPAA rating
Running time: 1:25; in English and Mandarin with English subtitles.
Opens: Friday at the Siskel Film Center

I always had a curious mind, and now that I'm not in school, the news and TV specials don't cut it for me. Science books are good and all, but Discover has everything I could possibly want to stimulate my mind and my interest in everything related to science. I always look forward to the interesting interviews with award-winning pioneers or influential people in a particular field, which are included in every issue. I also have so much fun with the mind games section! What I love about this magazine in comparison to others is that it is comprehensible for the average person. I enjoy that I am learning while at the same time being entertained. That being said, Discover makes learning fun for curious people of any age (I'm 53)!
Lastly, I want to applaud Discover for being a magazine that has not yet sold itself entirely to advertisements!
Discover Magazine is the greatest! When my children were still living at home (before they grew up) it was the magazine that everyone 'fought' over! We ended up drawing names each month to see who got to read it first, second, etc! This magazine is SO informative and is one I keep for future references and just so I can read it when I want! Other magazines get passed to the library give-away rack. I love the variety of subjects in Discover and often, they prompt me to research more on those subjects. My children were able to use this magazine for school reports, it is just a wonderful, wonderful magazine and a favorite for all ages. Even my 9 year old granddaughter loves this magazine!

I came across the Lego Architectural Series yesterday and thought it would make a perfect present for a certain type of kid or an architecture-obsessed adult. I'm a fan of the Farnsworth House, but I also think the White House would be a winner.

A collection of scholarly works about individual liberty and free markets. A project of Liberty Fund, Inc.
The great Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises argued that monopolies were the result of government intervention not that of the free market:
As has been pointed out already, there is no such tendency toward monopolization. It is a fact that with many commodities in many countries monopoly prices prevail, and moreover, some articles are sold at monopoly prices on the world market. However, almost all of these instances of monopoly prices are the outgrowth of government interference with business. They were not created by the interplay of the factors operating on a free market. They are not products of capitalism, but precisely of the endeavors to counteract the forces determining the height of the market prices. It is a distortion of fact to speak of monopoly capitalism. It would be more appropriate to speak of monopoly interventionism or of monopoly statism.
About this Quotation:
Here is another quotation from Liberty Fund's new "Library of the Works of Ludwig von Mises". Mises debunks the idea that monopolies are an inherent feature of free market capitalist economies. They are instead the direct result of government intervention in economic matters, usually to provide benefits to a favored group or to counter previous failed government policies.

Founded in 1992, Karoun is a family-run business. The company has continued to grow from creating hand braided String Cheese for local ethnic and specialty grocery stores, to providing wide variety of Mediterranean specialty cheeses and yogurt products with mainstream distribution. Milk for production of Karoun's cheeses is sourced directly from local farmers, located within the 30 mile radius of the cheesemaking facility at Turlock in California. Karoun's Yanni Grilling Cheese is a traditional semi-firm Mediterranean grilling cheese with a distinctive layered texture. Inspiration for the recipe comes from the age old Greek tradition of grilling and seasoning cheeses.
Tasting Notes
Flavors are mildly salty with a rich buttery finish. Yanni can withstand a tremendous amount of heat without melting and develops a delicious golden crust when grilled or barbequed.
Grilling cheese makes a great addition to salads with arugula, thyme and tomatoes.

Warped Indian history – By Nehru
The old culture managed to live through many a fierce storm and tempest, but though it kept its outer form, it lost its real content. Today it is fighting silently and desperately against a new and all-powerful opponent — the bania civilisation of the capitalist West. It will succumb to the newcomer, for the West brings science, and science brings food for the hungry millions. But the West also brings an antidote to the evils of this cut-throat civilisation — the principles of socialism, of cooperation, and service to the community for the common good. This is not so unlike the old Brahmin idea of service. (from Jawaharlal Nehru, an autobiography: with musings on recent events in India By Jawaharlal Nehru via Nehru: Man Among Men By Raja R. Mehrotra).
Bad start
India and Nehru got off to wrong start at the very first instant. When he made his 'famous' tryst with destiny speech, who was Nehru talking to? To the less than 5% Indians who understood English? If Free India's first Prime Minister did not see fit to talk to Indians intelligibly, how close or how much did he care for India?
Nehru's ideas about Indian history are possibly his biggest failing. Nehru's puerile ignorance about India's scientific tradition does not deserve further examination. Look at his pseudo-romantic ideas of Indian Brahminism.
Indian tradition
In Upanishadic times, there was the Nachiketa story, where his rich Brahman father, Uddalaka, /Vajasrava, was 'giving' away old, barren, unproductive cows – and keeping the best for himself. Obviously, Uddalaka, /Vajasrava did not become rich through 'selfless' service. Probably, Nehru was not Brahmin enough to know this lesson. Or we can blame his British school, Harrow. Why did they not teach him anything much about Upanishads?
Much after Uddalaka /Vajasrava, foreign students paid upto 1000 coins in advance to receive education at Takshashila – and there were thousands of such students. Students came from all over the world – and paid large sums of money to Indian teachers for education!
The Tibetan-Buddhist student, Marpa, the Translator (1012–1099), was warned by a co-traveller "If you go to India without lots of gold, searching for dharma will be like trying to drink water from an empty gourd." Interestingly, Naropa, the Indian teacher forced Marpa to give up his entire stock of gold. Having extracted all of Marpa's gold, Naropa threw all the gold dust, up in the air, exclaiming that the whole world was gold to him. Where was Nehru's much-vaunted Brahmin idea of service then. Nehru's ideas of Brahminical selfless service were alien to India – as were his ideas of rampant, extractive, profiteering banias.
Indian trade ethics
Indian banias were limited in their profit-taking by शुभ लाभ 'shubh-labh' ethics. It is शुभ लाभ shubh labh, that prevents traditional Indian merchant community, from dealing with slaves, drugs and alcohol. The 'green' agenda of शुभ लाभ shubl labh, also prevents traditional banias from dealing in meat products. Unlike Nehru's British banias whose wealth was created from slave trade – apart from drugs and alcohol.
Historically, trade in India is governed by शुभ लाभ 'shubh labh' – and hence Indians have not been major players in drugs proliferation (unlike Japan, the West, which traded Opium in Korea and China) or in slave trade. In modern times, India is not a big player in spamming or in software virus – though a power in computing industry. In August 2008, a hoax story alleged that an Indian hacker, had broken into a credit card database, and sold it to the European underworld. Some 'experts' feared that this would spark of a crime wave across Europe.
On slavery, the very basis of Western dominance, in his autobiography of nearly 500 pages, Nehru mentions slavery less than 5 times. Which just goes onto to show how well the Indian colonial masters had 'supressed' their own real history and source of wealth.
Underneath the Western sky
Colonial India's English push was understandable. But, Nehru's imposition of English on India is beyond defence. What more, after 60 years of Independence, state patronage of English language is unwarranted by the Indian Republic – and illegitimate. Making sense of the newly formed Indian nation was herculean task – even for Nehru. After more than a century of propaganda, Western 'education', inversion of history, post-colonial Indian rulers struggled between the 'glossy' imported idioms and the familiar native dialogue.
Caught in this dilemma, the Nehruvian Indian State vacillates between a unique Indic inheritance and the detritus of dead-end colonialism.
Assault on Indian academia
Mohammed Bakhtiar Khilji destroyed the Universities and schools of Nalanda, Vikramshila, Odantapura and Jagddala around 1200 AD. This marked the destruction, persecution and decline in Indian education, thought and structure. 600 years later, the British further damaged the Indic system of education, with State subsidies and patronage of Western education – the watershed being Bentinck's proclamation in 1835.
Thus, the reduced (quality and quantity) output from the 'Indian thought factory' led to stasis and the decline that we see today – through the prism of last 800 years of violence and destruction of Indic thought. This problem gets further magnified with the existing and continued subsidy to English language /Western education by the Indian Government.
Many centuries ago, Indians (under Islamic rulers) thought that Persian was the most important language in the world. And then it became Urdu. Now there are hosannas to English. Persian and Urdu were languages that the ruling class foisted on the Indians.
As is English.

DescriptionSave the prince from the wicked witch by heating her cauldron. The more you heat it, the more like his former self will the prince become. Will he become a frog, a prince or something in between? Your performance decides in this Honey Combo sequel.
- Save the prince! You must start on a heated hexagon, and make combinations of 17. The more combinations you make, the more you will heat up the cauldron.
- You will proceed to the next level when you have turned all hexagons green or when the time is out, provided that you have managed to turn all hexagons at least red.
- If you get stuck and can't find any combinations, try using the bats in the cauldron. The blue swirl mixes all numbers up, whereas the green bat turns the selected numbers into 1's and 0's only.

We land in Amsterdam and Ford meets us with a brand new Fiesta ST as we start our trip to the Nürburgring 24 and Monaco, but it's at a random bar we get a message about the wildest racing we might see: The Dïrtburgring. Imagine 24 Hours of LeMons meets Sprint Cars meets Destruction Derby. Europe, you so crazy.
The Fiesta, btw, is awesome! Yes they gave it me borrow it for our motorsport road trip but the car is seriously cool. If only you could rent cars like this in Europe. It's small but perfectly fast for our purposes and it gets good gas mileage. Even at 126mph – more on this later.
But first we went out exploring Amsterdam and found these tiny little cars you can park WHEREVER you want it seems! Like at a bike rack...
Or you can park it on the sidewalk or crash it into the side of building and run!
We drive into Amsterdam and park the car for 36hrs of partying before leaving for the 24hrs of the Nürburgring. We did some proper cultural stuff, too, like visit the Van Gogh Museum which is really cool. One of my favorites by far. I know it's not car related but its seriously a cool place. I even doctored up some of his work using Instagram. Yeah it looks like the Simpsons... welcome to Amsterdam.
Next up is T Arendsnest, a really cool bar specializing in Dutch beer. I like beer, but a bar that specializes in beer is always a cool place. With the car responsibly parked for the night it gave us a chance to check out this draft list!
The real surprise was the liquor made from Jenever and aged 5 years like whiskey.
Our night got interesting quick. But man is Amsterdam amazing at night!
Things started out very casual. Then we realized we had a lot to drink.
We moved to Gollem because it seemed like the right thing to do. Both these bars love their beer and so did we love them!
We wake up to a Facebook message from my friend Klaas who says he's racing an hour away from Amsterdam. So why not? Welcome to what I now call THE DIRTBURGRING! It has a proper name called FouteCross but to me it looked like LeMons on dirt! It was amazing. I even paid 15 Euro to go in an watch.
E30 M3 Front Fenders??????
You have no idea how mental this whole setup is! 300 cars, two tracks, one large, one small and madness everywhere! Yes, that car is one fire! But that's his problem! #aintcare
I thought this was really cool. Teams were taking snow tires and cutting them like madmen to create dirt or really mud racing tires.
This could never happen in the U.S. I was told the minimum age to race was 12 years old! This kid would be denied numerous rides at Disneyland because of his height...but not in the Netherlands... this kid races full size cars! SO AWESOME! Also take a look at the cardboard center of the steering wheel. I think this is to prevent you from locking your thumbs into the wheel and loosing them when you hit a rut or get hit by another car.
I can also tell you that the Fiesta ST works well in the dirt too BTW. Nice having the coolest car in the parking lot!
I have no idea what these are but they look like homemade sprint cars!!!!!!
Even in Europe the E30 is the king of cheap endurance racing!
But most of the cars looked like this! Fully A Team'd out with cages for windshields!
There were some pretty unusual cars too...at least for Europe! Or at least I thought so!
Check out this roll cage! Not everything in Europe is FIA certified. It looks like some industrial support system fitted to the car. It doesn't even cover the full width of the cockpit. But its really doubtful something will collapse this system given its size!
This VW ruled. Tubular structure to protect the engine and tons of wheel travel. And this guy was moving...
It's hard to describe the amount of mud going on, which is why I named this place the Dïrtburgring.
We finally rolled out at 3pm and drove 3 hours to proper Nürburgring! The race starts tomorrow at 5pm so we have a fun saturday night ahead of us. And we wanted to grab dinner at Pistenklause so we made some time...LEGALLY!
Next update will be Saturday night at Pistenklause with fellow Jalops Torben and Hemmerle! Also will explain how to convert your spare tire wheel in the Fiesta to an ice chest to cool your super awesome German Beer while posting to Jalopnik from the bar!

text: Comics artist Frank Miller has consigned two pieces of original Batman artwork — both valued at more than $50,000 — to be put up for auction. The first (above) is the book cover art for Absolute Dark Knight, the single-volume edition combining The Dark Knight Returns and The Dark Knight Strikes Again, which the comics creator says is one of his favorite pieces. "It took me years to define, in my own mind, Batman as less a creature of vengeance than of vigor," Miller said, describing the drawing in a press release about the auction. "To me, it sums the man up." The second piece of Miller's work up for auction is a splash page from Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (10th Anniversary Edition) featuring Batman with Carrie Kelly, the first female Robin. Miller's artwork is being offered by Heritage Auctions as part of its Vintage Comics and Comic Art Signature Auction, which will be held Feb. 22-24. Miller will be making an appearance at the New York preview of the auction before his pieces go under the gavel. Miller worked with artists Klaus Janson and Lynn Varley on the artwork for his Dark Knight graphic novels, but the two pieces up for auction were created entirely by Miller. Original Miller artwork from Dark Knight comics has been fetching a pretty penny lately. A splash page from The Dark Knight Returns brought in a mind-boggling $448,125 last year at a Heritage auction. It's a piece the auction house's Senior Vice President Ed Jaster likened to the Batman and Robin image currently open for bidding. "This piece is a direct reflection and front-on view of Miller's famous original splash page of the Dynamic Duo, which shattered all existing records for a piece," Jaster said in a statement. "Needless to say, we expect great demand in the market for this visionary piece." Hundreds of other comics and pieces of original artwork will be on the block in Heritage's upcoming auction. Check out a few more of the rare comics artifacts — from Action Comics No. 1 (with a current bid of $140,000) to an original Bill Watterson Calvin and Hobbes watercolor — in the gallery above. Images courtesy Heritage AuctionsSplash page for Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (10th Anniversary Edition) "Like any hero, Batman is complex," Miller said of this work in a statement. "Here we see him as a father figure, instructing one of my favorite creations, dear Carrie Kelly." Estimated value: $50,000+Detective Comics No. 27 To collectors, Detective Comics No. 27, which features the first appearance of Batman, is considered the second most valuable comic around in mint condition. Considering the Dark Knight's current cultural cachet, it could one day edge out Action Comics No. 1 as the most valuable comic in the game. Estimated value: $475,000+Action Comics No. 1 Action Comics No. 1 has been referred to as the "most important comic book ever published" because it contains the first appearance of Superman. The most well-preserved copies of this book can bring seven figures, so the lower-grade copy currently up for auction could prove to be a steal for the right (rich) collector. Estimated value: $325,000+All-American Comics No. 16 Featuring the first appearance of Green Lantern, this 1940 comic is also well-regarded among collectors. The one currently up for auction is in much better condition than most currently being held by hobbists. Estimated value: $130,000+Amazing Spider-Man Annual No. 3 This issue was the first of just three Annual covers done by John Romita Sr. A rare gem from the Silver Age featuring the Hulk and the Avengers. Estimated value: $125,000+Batman No. 1 Batman No. 1 not only delivers the first appearances of both Catwoman and the Joker, it also boasts a beautiful cover by Bob Kane and the late Jerry Robinson. It's a Golden Age must-have for serious collectors. Estimated value: $125,000+Calvin and Hobbes 1989-1990 Calendar Cover Watercolor Works by Calvin and Hobbes' fame-shy creator Bill Watterson are very rare and very few of his works have gone under the gavel, according to Heritage. The auction house expects the piece to fetch a good price, considering the amount of attention it's already gotten online. Estimated value: $50,000+Captain America Comics No. 2 This book marks the second appearance of Captain America, but the first time fans saw his famous costume and shield. It was released before the star-spangled superhero's country had actually entered World War II — but Adolf Hitler is still the issue's cover villain. Estimated value: $80,000+Marvel Comics No. 1 Also a one-time holder of the Most Valuable Comic in the Game title, this issue has since fallen behind Action Comics No. 1, Detective Comics No. 1 and Superman No. 1, but it's still a high-value item to true Marvel fans. Estimated value: $135,000+

Do Your Homework, Unidentifiable Brewer Guy
That's Casey McGehee on the left. Who's that you ask? No clue. Never heard of him myself. Doesn't matter. Let us instead focus on the Chinese character strategically tattooed on the anonymous forearm to the right.
For those dear readers who are unfamiliar with the Chinese language, that is the character for "child". Pronounced zi, in certain contexts it could be understood as "son" or "seed" or for those extremely esoteric folks with a penchant for ancient Chinese time-keeping methods, it could also be interpreted as the first of the twelve earthly branches.
In other words, it's not really something you get tattooed on your arm.
Yet trendy wannabe-hip US Americans continue to find Chinese characters in tattoo shops around the country, discovering them to be viable testaments to who they are, even if they have no idea what the hell they mean.
Seems silly to me. I have tattoos. You know, you can't just scrub 'em off. I put a lot of thought into them before I went off and had my skin permanently inked.
And I like to think that other people have the common sense to do a little research before putting a foreign language on their body for eternity. But what do I know? I ain't no professional baseball player; I'm just a lowly Fulbright Scholar.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
