"Mercepovci" Forced Witness to Shell Orthodox Church :: Balkan ...

Andric said that the deputy commander of Mercep's unit, Nikola Rukavina,? "forced him at the gun point to shell the tower of Pakrac?s orthodox church from the tank".

Andric added he does not know whether Mercep knew about that incident, adding "he shelled left and right of the tower".

The tower of the Pakrac Orthodox Church was destroyed during war in Croatia 1991-1995, as was the nearby Catholic Church tower. Both churches have been renovated since.

The witness said that Mercep's unit came to the Pakrac area in October 1991, after Andric's superiors announced that a special unit of the Interior Ministry is coming to Pakracka Poljana, and that Andric "would not have any authority over it?.

According to the witness, upon his arrival Mercep confirmed that his unit is under the command of the Interior Ministry and the ?orders were given from the very top?.

Andric testified that he later heard stories that people were taken away and their houses searched. He informed the command about that, but was told that everything was taken into account, and that he does not have to ask about it any more.

Mercep once told Andric that there are ?soft? Croats, "who are afraid to do some things?, and the ??tough? ones, "who are supposed to win the war?. Mercep classified Andric among ?soft? ones, witness said.

Mercep, one time top advisor to the Croatian wartime Interior Minister, has been charged, as commander of a police unit, to have personally ordered the?unlawful arrest, torture and killing of Serb civilians from October 8, 1991 until mid-December 1991 in?and around Zagreb and in the towns of Kutina and Pakrac in central Croatia.

According to the indictment, his police unit illegally captured 52 people, killing 43 of them, while?three disappeared and six survived torture.

Mercep came to the trial as a free man for the first time, since he was released on July 5 due to his bad health.

The trial continues on August 30, after the summer recess.

Christopher Nolan Debunks Justice League Rumors

Chris Nolan no Justice League Movie

There has been speculation about Chris Nolan?s future with the DC Comics Movie Universe long before his Batman trilogy finale, The Dark Knight Rises, started taking shape. A few years back, Nolan and his Batman story writer David S. Goyer collaborated on the story and script for the Superman reboot Man of Steel, which Nolan was at one time rumored to direct. When that didn?t pan out, it was then whispered that the Inception filmmaker could act as a shepherd for DC/Warner Bros. movie universe ? even going so far as to direct the studio?s long-stalled Justice League?film.

However, Nolan is now hinting that after Dark Knight Rises, he will be done playing in the DC superhero sandbox.

As the acclaimed writer/director/producer said when asked if he has plans to step in and handle Justice League:

?No, none at all? We?re finished with all we?re doing with Batman. This is the end of our take on this character.?

With news that DC/WB is working on the script for a new Justice Leauge movie (as opposed to the defunct version that almost came to be back in the late 2000s), it?s clear that DC superheroes are going to be put to use in shared universe fashion. Nolan firmly re-iterating that his take on Batman will end with Dark Knight Rises?would suggest that he is indeed stepping away from the Justice League project, and the DC Movie Universe (DCMU) as a whole.

We know that DC/WB is debating internally whether to reboot characters like Batman and Green Lantern, who have already had autonomous cinematic outings (to contrasting degrees of success), while Man of Steel would serve as the official beginning to the DCMU. Nolan?s quote suggests that at least the Dark Knight will be getting a reboot to better fit in a shared universe ? or (if the studio is (foolish? Brave?) enough, they would takeover use of the Nolan Batman without the director?s input (that is, IF the character survives Dark Knight Rises).

However, it would be?presumptuous?to call this matter closed. For one thing, Chris Nolan?s creative partners on the Batman trilogy ? David S. Goyer and brother Jonathan Nolan ? are still on hand to help shape the DCMU in similar fashion to what they did with Batman ? and it?s even been previously hinted that Chris could use some of his clout to get Jonathan into a director?s chair on some DC/WB project. That would keep the ?Nolan influence? alive and well within the DCMU.

Furthermore, there is still the pivotal factor of Man of Steel: Internet bloggers have speculated for months now that if the Superman reboot is a success at the box office (and with fans), then players like MoS?director Zack Snyder will be tapped to build a larger DCMU ? as Marvel has done with Avengers writer/director Joss Whedon. However, if Man of Steel?isn?t welcomed as warmly as the studio hopes, I don?t think any of us would be surprised to see Warner Bros. driving truckloads of cash up to Chris Nolan?s?doorstep, asking for continued guidance in building their superhero world. With Batman already a billion-dollar box office draw (and huge profits on the horizon for Dark Knight Rises), it would be doubtful that DC/WB would let their power player go at a time they need him most ? not without a hefty bribe, at least.

Of course, with Nolan able to make big money off of his own original work (see: Inception), there?s no real leverage for the enigmatic filmmaker to do anything else besides what he bloody well wants to ? and there plenty of studios who would be willing to give him a home.

Garmin's Fenix GPS watch is rough and ready ??for a price

10 hrs.

Veteran GPS maker Garmin released a new GPS watch Tuesday aimed at outdoors enthusiasts: The Fenix is ruggedized and made with off-the-path trekking in mind. At $400, you won't find it in the bargain bin, but serious hikers may decide that it's worth the extra?cash.

The new watch has a similar design to the company's previous Forerunner watches: a round LCD face with buttons around the edge. There's no touch-enabled surface like its most expensive predecessors, probably because it wasn't compatible with the scratch-resistant face and waterproofing. It'll go down to 160 feet under and should shrug off the occasional tumble or errant branch.

The interface has a new mode that places you on a graphical representation of your path, which you can set beforehand with waypoints or create as you go with a GPS breadcrumb trail. That's good news for alpine hikers who may lose track of the trail when they leave it to check out a landmark or view. And of course it has a built-in compass, barometer, and altimeter so you can be sure of your location and bearing.

You'll keep track of your trips and manage paths using Garmin's software, and should be able to beam tracks and waypoints to other Garmin devices or "select smartphones," which they decline to name.

The Fenix should be available this Fall for $400. You can pick one up online or at your favorite outdoor retailer.
