The housing is close to Taksim square, from where you can reach many- many destination quite easily.
We were on the ground floor, and one negative point: the entrace door is very noisy when its close, like thunder.
All in all we have good memories we loved the apartman style with full equipment we needed (maybe the mop was missing to make tidy the floor...).
Very nice apartment! Just as shown on the pictures and indeed very close to Taksim. Very big and bright rooms. Anytime again
we enjoyed a great time, the appartment was more than enough, we are very thankful to Mr Erekli to give us the apportunity to use his facility. we will deceide about the same appartment in the future...all the best ...
I stayed for 5 nights and overall I am satisfied with my stay there.
Nice and clean, has everything you need.
Very convenient location near Taksim Square.
In the neighboring apartment were repairs, this prevented good sleep the mornings. But it is only one very small minus. I can recommend this Studio as a perfect place to stay.
By the way, Suzan has kindly offered to use a turkish SIM card and Istanbul Card (for use public transport). As well as transfer from and to the airport.
Thank you for a great time in Istanbul. Next time will certainly return to you again.
I stayed in this apartment for 28 days. It was in the perfect location and had everything I needed for my stay. I was very pleased with it and would highly recommend this apartment if you want to be near Taksim Square. There are plenty of little restaurants, markets, etc. in the area. I would definitely stay in this apartment again! Thanks Eren and Suzan!
Cozy and charming home. The gracious and affable host
I am very happy with the choice.
thank a lot Suzan and Eren.
I stayed in this home only 3 days but it was more than an hotel because Eren e Suzan give us all we need: a transfer from airport with good price, a schedule of transportation, a phone and above all they help us because in airport we had problem with luggage.
Thanks so much and we hope to come again to you
The apartment is located well, a ten-minute-walk from Taksim square in a nice neighbourhood.
The apartment itself is very clean and well equiped.The host was very nice and helpful. We had a great time in Istanbul.
Thank you Erin and Susan !
(Our rating is 4,5 starts just because we missed a breadknife and a breadboard.)
Very nice place with a very friendly and helpful manager!
The apartment was nice, clean, well furnished, placed in a quiet street, not far from city center and public transport. We had fun, good food, we enjoyed the time and had absolutely no bad surprises. Only annotation: we were 5 people and we missed a good sharp knife, a soup plate more, and a big pan lid in the kitchen... I know: it is not really much.
Thank you for everything and see you next time!
PS: still waiting for the turkish coffee recipe
The host is very nice, friendly and helpful. He is very quick on responding to all your questions and requests.The apartment is very nice, and clean and well equipped, situated in a nice and central area, from where all major tourist attractions are easily reached.

Nancy Kerrigan's brother, Mark Kerrigan, has been acquitted of manslaughter charges in the death of their father.
Mark Kerrigan, 46, was charged with manslaughter in the January 2010 death of his father, Daniel Kerrigan, at the family's home in Stoneham, Mass. The trial lasted one week, with Nancy Kerrigan attending every session in support of her brother. The Olympic skater believed her brother to be innocent, and defense attorneys portrayed the death as a heart attack caused by massive blockage in Daniel Kerrigan's coronary arteries.
Prosecutors alleged that Mark Kerrigan grabbed his father around the neck and snapped cartilage in his larynx, which caused the heart failure.
Mark Kerrigan was, however, convicted on a lesser charge of assault and battery and faces up to two-and-a-half years in jail. Sentencing will be Thursday.
Nancy Kerrigan said, "My family has never believed that my brother had anything to do at all with my father's death, and my dad never would have wanted any of this."

Transcontinental Railroad
Transcontinental Railroad Introduction
In A Nutshell
On 10 May 1869, a final golden spike was hammered into the first American transcontinental railroad, a project that had cost hundreds of millions of dollars and required years of labor from tens of thousands of men. Connecting the Union Pacific (UP) with the Central Pacific (CP) was the single greatest feat of engineering in U.S. history, the culmination of dreaming, planning, building, and scamming on an unprecedented scale. The men who built the railroad lived one of the biggest stories of the nineteenth century, and their work would remake the American West, bind the country together economically and culturally, and redefine for many the very scope of human enterprise.
The transcontinental railroad was a powerful symbol of American ambition and ability, and in a story that runs from the highs of the West's great mountain ranges to the lows of the century's biggest financial scandal, we can learn a lot about the nature of American progress and where that progress was leading the country.
Why Should I Care?
How's this for an American epic recipe? Take a couple hundred million dollars, at least ten thousand Chinese workers, hordes of demobilized Civil War veterans, a few crooked financiers, one possibly delusional engineer, an assassinated president, a bunch of increasingly desperate Plains Indian tribes, and some Mormons. Mix with ample amounts of blasting powder, nitroglycerine, and whiskey and spread it all across the iconic landscape of the American West. Maybe throw in a couple of hookers, gamblers, and gunslingers for a little spice. Sounds exciting? It was.
Railroad building was a defining characteristic of nineteenth-century America; nowhere in history was this process quite so dramatic as it was in the building of the first transcontinental railroad. It was the physical, material process of a young nation growing into its own vast territory and grand sense of destiny, and the building of that railroad encompassed many of the great issues of the day: westward expansion, immigrant labor, the rise of big business, national unity and disunity, political corruption, the subjugation of the Plains Indians, and more. This is the story of how the whole crazy thing came together.

RICHMOND COUNTY, Ga.---Shutting down five public schools could save Richmond County a lot of money. And that's just one piece of advice from a consulting company telling the Richmond County school system how to improve.
It was a full house at the Richmond County Board of Education meeting Thursday. Lots of teachers and parents wanted to hear some advice for the school board.
"I think it's a really good idea that they brought somebody in and I think it's worth the money," said parent Patricia Asmundson.
She says she's glad the board spent $167,000 for MGT of America to look at how the district can improve.
There's one idea she doesn't like, though: shutting down five schools.
"But I think all of you on the board know that that's probably what needs to be done," said Kathy Brooks, a spokesperson for MGT.
She says the company found that the district is nearly 6,000 students under capacity, meaning that many seats are left empty.
"That's huge," she says.
With declining enrollment, the company recommends the board should shut down one high school, one middle school, and three elementary schools.
"I don't know how they're going to do that. That's going to be a challenge," said Asmundson.
Challenge or not, MGT says the money saved would be worth it. They say the school system would save $11.7 million, over the next five years.
"We think that 11.7 million cost savings, if you close those schools, will go a long way to making sure every one of Richmond County students can have a better education," said Brooks.
But Asmundson says with many failing schools in the district, she's not sure if they could handle more students.
"When you close a school and you send those students to another school, you place a burden on the existing school," she said.
She hopes the board will think long and hard about it before they make up their minds.
"We want the children to succeed. We don't want to set them up for failure," she said.
The school board still has to decide on this issue, as well as all others in the 328-page audit.
Superintendent Dr. Dana Bedden says some ideas could be in place by next school year; others could take years. Still others may not be implemented at all, if the board so chooses.

As I'm typing this, Senator Ted Cruz has just finished reading from the Dr. Seuss book Green Eggs and Ham on the Senate floor as a bedtime story for his daughters:
I'm reminded of a quote from G.K. Chesterton, "The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him." Senator Cruz is fighting a policy battle, not because he is fueled by hatred for a policy, but because he loves his kids. Statesmen who are true fighters are motivated because they want to leave a better country for their kids–not one mired in debt with restricted freedom.
By the way, one of Senator Cruz's staff tweeted this picture of Cruz's daughters watching him read to them from the Senator floor. Absolutely adorable:
The FDA hired Obama's campaign media peeps to help them understand Twitter…no cronyism there.
Bono does a pretty good Bubba impression.
No one can hear you scream, Schmidt!
Illinois cronyism…sadly this is par for the course, not news.
She needs to read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence to find out what's in both of them.
Happy Wednesday!

East Germany, 1980. Barbara Wolff is a talented young doctor who has applied for an exit visa from the GDR and, as punishment, has been transferred from her prestigious post in Berlin to a small pediatric hospital in the country. Even though she is constantly aware of the shadowy presence of, and overwhelming numbers of Stasi officers chronicling her every move, every waking hour, she arrives at her new post having already planned a series of dangerous assignations with her lover, with whom she plans to escape to the West, to Poland. A story of self-sacrifice and freedom and quiet heroism at a time and place when such values are at a premium. It is also about a healer whose morality and set of personal ethics are being called into questions by circumstances specific to that same time and place in history. Opening at West End and Angelika Mosaic.

From CQ Fact Sheet on John F. Kennedy, Congressional Quarterly, Inc., 1960.
The Presidency
"(The next President) must above all be the Chief Executive in every sense of the word. He must be prepared to exercise the fullest powers of his office -- all that are specified and some that are not.... He must reopen the channels of communication between the world of thought and the seat of power... must know when to lead the Congress, when to consult it and when he should act alone.... It is the President alone who must make the major decisions of our foreign policy.... Even domestically, the President must initiate policies and devise laws to meet the needs of the Nation. And he must be prepared to use all the resources of his office to ensure the enactment of that legislation -- even when conflict is the result.... The White House is not only the center of political leadership, it must also be the center of moral leadership.... We will need in the sixties a President who is willing and able to summon his national constituency to its finest hour -- to alert the people to our dangers and our opportunities -- to demand of them the sacrifices that will be necessary." Jan. 14, 1960.
"The Republican peace and prosperity is a myth. We are not enjoying a period of peace -- only a period of stagnation and retreat, while America becomes second in missiles, second in space, second in education and if we don't act fast and effectively, second in production and industrial might." March 28, 1960.
"The United States has put forward a hurriedly prepared disarmament plan -- compounded of old proposals and a lack of new, creative thinking.... Despite (the) difficulties, I believe that today's international climate, more than ever before, holds out the possibility for an effective start on arms control.... I do not want to minimize the Russian threat.... Nor do I believe that we can rely for disarmament on merely trusting the word of Soviet leaders -- we must have a (reliable) inspection system.... But I do believe that under what appears to be a more fluid and rational atmosphere since the death of Stalin, the Soviet leaders may realize that the path of Russian self-interest permits -- and perhaps compels -- them to agree to some steps toward comprehensive arms control.... Even with (an inspection) system, there will be risks. Peace programs involve risks as do arms programs, but the risks of arms are even more dangerous. We need much more than research ...constructive leadership, and clear vision, and careful planning.... I have introduced a bill to establish an Arms Control Research Institute ... under the immediate direction of the President (to) carry on and coordinate all the research, development and policy planning needed for a workable disarmament program. (It will provide) essential studies in ... aerial reconnaissance, radar surveillance, monitoring and inspection systems.... (It) will also make plans to facilitate the conversion from a war economy to a peace economy. And it will engage in positive programs for peace -- programs of international cooperation in research, in eliminating such world-wide scourges as hunger, illiteracy and poverty. Here, in one responsible organization, would be centered our hopes for peace." March 25, 1960.
Nuclear Test Ban
Kennedy said the United States should postpone resumption of nuclear tests indefinitely -- as long as the Soviet Union did not resume tests and as long as negotiations for a permanent ban continued amicably. If negotiations collapsed, Kennedy said, U.S. tests should be confined to underground and outer-space explosions. Nov. 2, 1959.
Kennedy wrote to President Eisenhower assuring him that if elected President, he would carry out any moratorium on underground nuclear weapons tests agreed to by Mr. Eisenhower. April 30, 1960.
Foreign Policy
"If we make the Development Loan Fund the dominant instrument of our long-range foreign policy ... then we can make it clear to others that the U.S. will not be moved to assist other nations simply as a result of the short-term trend or some minor American loss in the cold war." Sept. 18, 1959.
Khrushchev Visit
"The Khrushchev I met was a tough-minded, articulate hard-reasoning spokesman for a system ... in which he thoroughly believes.... He was not putting on any act... when he talked about the inevitable triumph of the communist system.... I think it is well that the American people saw and heard this kind of man and this kind of talk. I think it is important that we realize what we are up against ... and that he realizes what he is up against, so that he does not miscalculate our determination or underestimate our resources." Oct. 1, 1959.
The Republicans "talk about their prosperity, but it is a prosperity for some, not for all. And it is an abundance of goods, not of courage. We have the most gadgets and the most gimmicks in our history, the biggest TVs and tailfins, but we also have the worst slums, the most crowded schools, and the greatest erosion of our natural resources and our national will. It will be for some an age of material prosperity, but it is also an age of spiritual poverty." March 28, 1960.

Ohio group sending check for Zimmerman's protectionUPDATED 7:41 PM EDT Jul 26, 2013
A group of gun owners in Ohio sent a check to George Zimmerman for $12,000 so he can protect himself.Video Transcript
HIDING... HE SAYS -- AFRAID FOR HIS LIFE. TONIGHT A LOCAL ORGANIZATION IS SENDING HIM SOME CASH ... TO PROTECT HIMSELF. WLWT NEWS 5'S JOHN LONDON IS LIVE IN THE NEWSROOM... WITH HOW. JOHN. A CHECK FOR TWELVE-GRAND, MADE OUT TO ZIMMERMAN... MONEY RAISED BY THE BUCKEYE FIREARMS FOUNDATION, WHICH HAS A SOUTHWEST OHIO CHAPTER... NO GUARANTEE HOW HE'LL USE IT. THE ONLY CERTAINTY IS THE CHATTER IT'S CREATING. The opinions about it ... ("I mean, there's just too many guns out here ...") Divide into conflicting camps... ("I think everybody should be able to have a gun, carry a gun... ") The Ohio-based Zimmerman protection plan, if you will, is verbal ammunition for both sides of the great gun debate. Karen Hillis-Skipper of Moms Demand Action opposes the Buckeye Firearms Foundation's fund-raising to arm George Zimmerman... Suggesting Ohio is making some damaging moves... (Karen Hillis-Skipper, Moms Demand Action) ("We're kind of disappointed in Ohio with what's going on generally, not just with what this Buckeye organization is doing, but also with Butler County's decision recently to arm principals...") (gunfire at range from Wednesday) This is the type of training principals would be required to take. Same as police officers who are here at Butler Tech... (more gunfire at range) Spending hundreds of hours in training to become proficient. The Buckeye groups wants Zimmerman to use the $12,000 check it's sending for a either security system or for guns he could legally carry. It's a safety issue... (Tim Tomlin - Brown County) ("I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be able to be armed.") Perhaps for everyone ... (Omar Neal - Chicago) ("Anything that's going to help another person get more guns, I don't think I'm for that. I say less guns.") OMAR NEAL, IN TOWN FROM CHICAGO, SAYING YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON THERE WITH ALL THE GUN VIOLENCE LATELY... THE GUN ZIMMERMAN USED ON TRAYVON MARTIN REMAINS IN THE CUSTODY OF THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT... THAT GUN IS PART OF ALL THE EVIDENCE THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAS TAKEN FROM THE TRIAL...

I am new to SSH, I wanted to know how to use or test the new and
specific DH group exchange algorithm (ex: diffie-hellman-group-
exchange-sha256) supported in latest openssh for key exchange.
I read the ssh man page but I could not find any options to choose
this from the ssh client.
I also read the RFC4419 and looked into the code.
As per this RFC, Client sends the (min, n, max) size in bits during
initial handshake.
The value of n is calculated based on the size of enc key and mac key.
And as per the code in dh_estimate() only possible values that are
send to server are 1024, 2048 and 4096.
Server sends back the p&g values to Client based on the n. And it
uses /etc/moduli to find the p&g.
Now, my question is how I ensure that "diffie-hellman-group-exchange-
sha256" is used for key exchange instead of "diffie-hellman-group-
exchange-sha1" or "diffie-hellman-group14-sha1".
NOTE: If this is not a right place to post this Question plz excuse me
and redirect me right group.
Thanks in advance,

Weather Journal: Boxing Day Blizzard in the Making
Post-Christmas travelers can expect a belated coal in their stockings Sunday: All the bits and pieces are in place for a major winter storm across the East Coast, with a blizzard warning for New York City, Boston and much of coastal New England, where the heaviest snow is expected to occur. Greater New York could rack up truly impressive snow totals — up to 18 inches! — before this storm is finished Monday.
Beyond heavy snow, a blizzard warning means that we should expect winds of more than 35 mph and visibility of a quarter mile or less over the next 36 hours — factors that are likely to spell trouble for air travelers. Expect holiday travel to be delayed across the country as major hubs of Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York and Boston become snowed in one by one on Sunday and Monday.
Many locations outside the blizzard zone, from Myrtle Beach, S.C., to Maine, should see significant snow as well. Philadelphia Eagles fans with tickets to Sunday night's contest should know what they're in for: field conditions for the game against the Vikings could very well look like something out of the North Pole. In short, hold on to your hats (and your children), this could be one wild sleigh ride.
In fact, the snow storm may be so intense that "thundersnow" — that rarest of meteorological holy grails — could occur off and on throughout Sunday over Manhattan, as the peak of the storm moves through. Keep an ear to the window to listen for the telltale rumbles of thunder.
The last time a storm of this magnitude hit the region was the "Snowicane" on February 26, 2010,, when New York City schools were closed for a rare snow day and winds of up to 91 mph lashed the East Coast. What will the weather historians call this storm? Stay tuned to the Weather Journal as we provide continuing coverage of the Boxing Day Blizzard of 2010. You can also stay up to date with the latest forecasted snow total map from the National Weather Service.

Fed Beige Book: Regional economies grew across all 12 Federal Reserve districts, including Dallas
Regional economies grew across all 12 Federal Reserve districts, including Dallas, for the third straight six-week period, but no areas showed a "distinct shift" in the overall pace of growth.
It's the latest in a series of national data showing that the U.S. economy continues to improve slowly but steadily.
The pace of growth continued to be "moderate" in the Dallas district in the six weeks through Aug. 22, according to the Fed's Beige Book economic snapshot issued today. The Fed's Dallas district includes Texas, northern Louisiana and southern New Mexico, but about 96 percent of the district's economic output is from Texas.
Strong manufacturing and real estate activity and increased demand for services, especially retail and auto sales, drove the Dallas Fed results.
Here are some of the highlights for the Dallas district for the six weeks through late August compared with the previous six weeks:
Manufacturing: Most manufacturers noted increased demand, with scattered reports of weaker demand for the second straight six-week period. Metals and high-tech manufacturing reported higher demand. Food producers saw flat demand in the face of higher prices.
Construction and real estate: Home sales grew at a steady to slightly slower pace. New home prices continued to rise due to low inventory, fewer buildable lots and high construction costs. All apartment activity increased. Demand for commercial real estate – particularly industrial space in Dallas — was steady.
Energy: Oilfield service and geological service firms saw strong demand. Growth in Texas drilling activity was concentrated outside of the major basin areas.
Retail: Retail sales rose, but the pace of growth was mixed. Stores benefiting from back-to-school shopping saw stronger sales growth, but higher food prices hurt grocery sales growth. Three national retailers reported that demand in Texas continued to slightly outperform average U.S. retail sales. Auto sales increased, with some dealers noting that July was "a great month."
Agriculture: Drought conditions eased, particularly in the Texas Panhandle and southern New Mexico. Texas' cotton crop was in fair to good condition as harvesting began in some areas. Most crop prices declined due to higher expectations for U.S. corn, cotton and soybean production. Despite record cattle prices, demand for beef was solid.
Financial services: Loan demand was soft, but loan quality improved. Home mortgage lending grew slightly, as credit conditions remained tight. Demand for commercial real estate and small business loans was "fairly stable."
Prices: More companies said they raised prices to customers, including retailers; food producers (on meat, dairy products and vegetables); airlines (on ticket prices and fees); lumber, cement and brick producers; and accounting firms.
Labor market: Employment increased or held steady. Energy contacts continued to report a very tight labor market.

Anyone here a pomegranate expert? The new Eating Well has a section on pomegranates, and I'm making a couple of the recipes. Last night I cut open my pomegranate and the "seeds" were not ruby red at all. They were WHITE with the slightest tinge of pink. This happened to me last year too. Are these pomegranates just not ripe? Will they turn red if I leave them to ripen? Can you tell from the outside whether a pomegranate will have red seeds or not?
The photos of the lovely pomegranate seeds in the magazine are blazing ruby red, with just a touch of white at the very bottom of each seed. Mine are white with just a touch of pink at the very top. Very disappointing.

Currently the R-73 is the best Russian short range air-to-air missile. Apart from an exceptional maneverability, this missile is also directly connected to the pilot's helmet, which allows engagement of targets lateral to the aircraft, which cannot be engaged by missiles with a traditional system of targeting and guidance. The R-73A, an earlier variant of this missile, has a 30 km range, while the most recent R-73M can hit targets at a distance of 40 km.
The R-73 short-range, close-combat standardized missile was developed in the Vympel Machine Building Design Bureau, and became operational in 1984. The R-73 is included in the weapon complex of MiG-23MLD, MiG-29 and Su-27 fighters and their modifications and also of Mi-24, Mi-28 and Ka-50 helicopters. It also can be employed in flying craft which do not have sophisticated aiming systems.
The missile is used for engaging modern and future fighters, attack aircraft, bombers, helicopters, drones and cruise missiles, including those executing a maneuver with a g-force up to 12. It permits the platform to intercept a target from any direction, under any weather conditions, day or night, in the presence of natural interference and deliberate jamming. It realizes the "fire and forget" principle.
The missile design features a canard aerodynamic configuration: control surfaces are positioned ahead of the wing at a distance from the center of mass. The airframe consists of modular compartments accommodating the homing head, aerodynamic control surface drive system, autopilot, proximity fuze, warhead, engine, gas-dynamic control system and aileron drive system. The lifting surfaces have a small aspect ratio. Strakes are mounted ahead of the aerodynamic control surfaces. The combined aero-gas-dynamic control gives the R-73 highly maneuverable flight characteristics. During flight, yaw and pitch are controlled by four aerodynamic control surfaces connected in pairs and by just as many gas-dynamic spoilers (fins) installed at the nozzle end of the engine. Control with engine not operating is provided by aerodynamic control surfaces. Roll stabilization of the missile is maintained with the help of four mechanically interconnected ailerons mounted on the wings. Drives of all missile controls are gas, powered from a solid-propellant gas generator.The passive infrared homing head supports target lock-on before launch. Guidance to the predicted position is by the proportional navigation method. The missile's combat equipment consists of an active proximity (radar or laser) fuze and impact fuze and a continuous-rod warhead. The engine operates on high-impulse solid propellant and has a high-tensile steel case. Russia's Vympel weapons designers have developed a one-of-a-kind air-to-air missile, which NATO has dubbed as AA-11, for use on foreign fighter planes. Techically and militarily the new missile, meant for quick-action dogfights, leave its foreign analogues far behind. Vympel experts have also made it possible for the new missile to be easily installed on all available types of aircraft. The AA-11 can also be used on older planes which will now be able to effectively handle the US' highly maneuverable F-15 and F-16 jets. The AA-11 missile is based on all-new components, use new high-energy solid fuel and an advanced guidance and control system which has made it possible to minimize their size. Their exceptionally high accuracy is ensured by the missile's main secret, the so-called transverse control engine, which rules out misses during the final approach trajectory. The transverse control engine is still without parallel in the world.
Russia has offered the export-version R-7EE air-to-air missile system for sale so that it can be fitted to foreign-made fighter aircraft. Developed by the Vympel state-sector engineering and design bureau, the R-7EE is designed for close-quarters aerial combat. Vympel specialists have developed a way of ensuring that the missile system can be fitted to virtually any type of aircraft. It can be fitted to older aircraft, which feature heavily in third-world countries' air forces.

I run a small business (too small to engage consultants)Also we have too small a customer base to extrapolate most models. but I read your blog regularly and have learned much from it. This is the best post ever. I have resisted free shipping for the same reason but seeing actual data is really wonderful.ReplyDelete
Keep up the Great Work!!!
Kevin, you're a genius, what can I say. Thanks for the very interesting & enlightening studies on free shipping. Lots of food for thought.ReplyDelete

Often the target of protests over its use of force, BART police for the first time Wednesday posted online its annual report on internal affairs investigations of complaints against officers.
"We're doing this to increase our transparency," said Lt. Frank Lucarelli, head of the department's internal affairs unit.
Four of the 66 citizen complaints against officers in 2010 resulted in sustained complaints that the officers acted improperly -- two for lack of courtesy, one for conduct unbecoming an officer and one for not following proper procedures, BART police wrote in the report.
The police force has 206 sworn officers.
To view the report, visit www.bart.gov/ and click on "about BART" and "BART police" and 2010 internal affairs report.
The 66 citizen complaints made in 2010 contrasts sharply with the 13 complaints made in 2008, the year before a BART police officer shot in the back and killed an unarmed passenger, Oscar Grant III.
Since that shooting, BART police have adopted more rigorous procedures for taking and documenting citizen complaints.
"We have a more robust reporting process," Lucarelli said, "and we're much more in that public eye."
He said state law prevents him from disclosing details of the discipline given to the officers for the four sustained complaints in 2010.
Officers used force in 136 incidents during 2010, according to the report.

Loloma was a man of some contradictions. Although he spent his life in Hotevilla, the Hopi village of his birth, his work was turned down three times by the Gallup Inter-Tribal Ceremonial for not being Indian enough, He built his rock house with his hands, while he drove Jaguars and flew in airplanes that he owned. He took a Dale Carnegie course on influencing people. He traveled to Paris, Egypt, Colombia, and, during the last decade of his studio work, used Mikimoto pearls and diamonds, along with exotic woods he had encountered on trips through Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
To come to Loloma's jewelry with no prior knowledge, one might identify strains of art nouveau in the constructions as precise and intricate as stained glass. People close to him cite architectural influences: skyscrapers in Manhattan or aerial views of Paolo Soleri's Arco Santi near Flagstaff, Arizona. Yet the exaggerated, masked geometries of Hopi katsinas (kachinas), interpreted as abstractions, are paramount in Loloma's work, The dazzling height bracelets, studded by multiple gems, jut as high as an inch and a half and span up to four inches in diameter. Surface contrasts between jagged and smooth, shiny and matte, elevated and flat make the jewelry at once earthbound and heavenly, Stone Age and Space Age. Throughout, Loloma deeply engaged with the cross-cultural practice of patterning the sacred through materials.
The Wheelwright Museum in Santa Fe assembled, under guest curator Martha Hopkins Struever, a 466-object Loloma retrospective, "Loloma: Beauty Is His Name," Exhibit designer Lou Cauci ringed the kiva-shaped walls of the museum's central gallery with cases showing thematic groupings of Loloma's work. The exhibit eschewed labels or a chronology of dates. While that made for an exquisite visual experience, it also partly obscured the evolution of the jeweler's work. The exhibit focused primarily on pieces made between 1972 and 1986.
An interior corridor built inside the circle showcased Loloma's fluent movement around materials -- from his early marriages of turquoise and coral with ironwood, through the "spectacular" minglings of lapis, sugilite, ivories, and woods as rare as coco bolo, tiger, and ebony. Loloma periodically cast gem-set holloware. He made wrist guards, bolos, rings bracelets, earnings, pendants, and necklaces. Some of these employ strings of prehistoric turquoise beads -- for example, Navajo joclas, the Navajo word for earnings, dating to about 1100 A.D. But Loloma would jettisons their classification by setting them into a bracelet's high arch. His whimsical and witty puns on tradition and innovation managed to restage both into an equipoise of the unexpected.
According to Wheelwright curator Cheri Falkenstien-Doyle, numerous jewelers consider Loloma the most influential Native American jeweler of the twentieth century. "He was able to pull information from so many different sources and use it," she says. "We were totally overdue for a major retrospective."
Loloma's first major jewelry venue was the New Craft Center, run and organized by Lloyd Kiva New in Scottsdale. This nascent 1950s artist colony galvanized energies between Native American arts leaders such as New and mainstream museum curators such as Rene d'Harnoncourt of the Museum of Modern Art, arguably the first U.S. curator to exhibit Native American art as fine art. The Heard Museum in Phoenix, which gave Loloma a sales show in 1971, now is collecting documents and objects representing the mutually seeding strains of this time in culture. "Loloma: Beauty is His Name" marks a prescient case in point that Native American art did not resist drawing into itself dominant cultural strands, or drawing itself out into active participation with them.
Charles Loloma was an artistic prodigy. Born in 1921 in Hotevilla, in 1937 he entered the new Hopi High School, where noted artist Fred Kabotie ran the art program. The next year, he transferred to Phoenix Indian School and met Kiva New, who had just graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago and would become a lifelong friend. New Craft Center in Scottsdale assembled many burgeoning Indian talents under one roof. They made up a landmark assembly, said Mark Bahti, principal of Bahti Indian Arts in Tucson. Bahti's father, Tom, was one of Loloma's closest friends and began exhibiting his first jewelry around 1955 "In the 1950s, a handful but growing number of Indian artists were butting up against expectations placed on what they were supposed to be producing," Bahti says, among them Oscar Howe, Loloma, Kenneth Begay, Roger Tsabetsaye, and Helen Hardin. 'This has to be understood as a real movement into the future. It was coming from Indian artists, from within the group. And it really was spectacular," Bahti adds.
The Wheelwright exhibition presented as its earliest example of Loloma work a wall mural upon which he collaborated, at age 19, with two fellow Hopis under Kabotie's direction. The mural was shown in the 1941 Museum of Modern Art exhibit, "Indian Arts of the United States," which was organized by Rene d'Harnoncourt. D'Harnoncourt would go on to introduce Loloma to European painters, fashion designers, and to promote him in landmark shows in San Francisco, New York, and Europe.
Loloma served in the U.S. Army in World War II, supervising road building in the Aleutian Islands. Upon his return, Loloma and his wife, Otellie (from whom he later separated and eventually divorced), went to Alfred University in New York under the CI Bill to study ceramics at the School for American Craftsmen. This, according to Bahti, was where Loloma first began to flex his distinctive style.
"He was doing ceramics in the early '50s and '60s that were Hopi interpretations of Egyptian figures, with Hopi hairstyles, executed with remarkable grace. But one of the problems that plagued Charles through the late 60s, and used to make my dad crazy, was the phrase, 'It's nice but it's not Indian.' Charles would hear it all the time."
The Gallup Inter-Tribal Ceremonial, which ran an annual wholesale fair in August to accommodate trader stores, reflected this attitude in spades, said Bahti. Run by a cast of all-white hotel and restaurant owners and car dealers catering to trader stores, "it was trying to fulfill that fantasy of what being Indian meant." Loloma's work was rejected from Gallup three times in the 1950s.
A decade later, however, Loloma had the opposite problem -- taking first prize too often at the Scottsdale National. What made his work so important? "He had an entirely different approach to his materials than any other jeweler had ever had -- and he used turquoise a lot of people wouldn't even consider for a heartbeat. [Navajo painter] Robert Sorrell first pointed out to me that it was a painter's approach to stones and inlay," Bahti says.
While scores of contemporary jewelers cite Loloma as their influence, he claimed only two apprentices, the Moroccan-raised Eveli Sabatie, and his niece, Verma Nequatewa. Sabatie worked and lived with Loloma on Hopi from 1968 to 1972, a period when their collaboration coalesced in a huge flowering in Loloma's experiment.
Sabatie recalls meeting Loloma for the first time: "One night (in San Francisco) someone took me to the Fillmore and some people were gathered talking about a young Navajo resisting he draft. I decided to go to the trial at Federal Building. The elevator came, and when the door opened, it was filled with representatives of all the southwestern tribes. Everybody was all dressed up. My mouth just dropped. I was the only non-Indian there. I spent a whole day with two Hopis I met at the trial, and they invited me to come to Hopi for the Bean Dance."
"Loloma sat down beside me at the Laundromat and immediately he started asking me all these questions, where I came from and what I had done and what I was doing here. He asked me to come to his shop and see his work. And he said, would you like to learn to make jewelry? And I said of course. The whole operation at the time was just a little shop, with a single backroom."
A case of Sabatie's work at the Wheelwright, the innovations of which proved highly influential to Loloma, included the dazzling The Significance, a handmade book of silver inset with stones, ivory, and bone that relays a visual picture of Sabatie's own incredible sense of pattern and design. Sabatie explains that after meeting Loloma, she realized that she needed to hone some basics. 'Tribal learning is done in silence, through watching," she says. She returned to California to learn to solder and handle a torch before going back to Hopi. In California she purchased silver and gathered cow bones she began curing for use in jewelry. "One of the first things I made was a little box with a piece of cow bone. Later, when I saw boxes Charles had made, they are very much like some of those early boxes."
What emerged aesthetically for Loloma during his time with Sabatie was a recognition of the confluence of stylizations that
united mosaic traditions. Mark Bahti explains that Loloma's inlay began with pairings of turquoise and ironwood -- a local wood, harder than mesquite, which grows as a tree in the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts. Tom Bahti had introduced Loloma to ironwood boxes that jeweler Frank Patania, Jr., was making. Later, Bahti would show him ironwood sculptures made by Xeri Indians in Mexico.
At roughly the same time, Sabatie remembers, Loloma received a book about Egyptian jewelry that proved wildly important to him. "His inlay reference was the old Hopi earrings that katsinas wear," recalls Sabatie. These earrings inlaid mosaic of turquoise with tiny pieces of abalone in the center, on square pieces of cottonwood, and date to Mesa Verde (1100 A.D.).
'The only inlay experience I had had was with mosaic in turquoise blues, because that's the color of Islam," Sabatie said. "But the Egyptians used the stones in slits or in squares next to each other. I believe that's how he started using lapis. Because he really looked at the Egyptians and there was no lapis around (on Hopi) at the time. It was so hard to find lapis lazuli. We were able to get good coral, and some ivory and ironwood at that time, but that was about it.
A 1974 gold Hopi maiden, exhibited alongside half the tufa mold in which her body was cast, wears a necklace of tiny turquoise beads. Her Lander blue turquoise head, with slit eyes and mouth, confirms that Egyptian jewelry techniques unveiled a seminal discovery for Loloma. The figure also marks an early notice of his abstracting, in inlay, the geometrically stylized features of Hopi Katsina faces. Consider Loloma's multivalent objects as semaphores, colliding historic similarities between Egyptian patterning and Katsina inlay, yet always reiterating his foundation in Hopi-based symbolism.
In 1957, Loloma went to California to learn lost-wax casting from Bob Winston -- a modernist jeweler who, along with Philip
Morton, Alexander Calder, and Jacques Lipschitz, had shown in key 1940s jewelry exhibitions at Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Loloma's niece Verma Nequatewa joined the studio in 1969 and began to learn under his direction how to set stones, becoming his stone-setter. Nequatewa worked with Loloma until the studio closed in 1988. Now, in a studio across the street from his in Hotevilla, she signs her jewelry "Sonwai." Nequatewa cited a silver ram's head bolo and tufa-cast bolo slide representing the katsina Chakwaina among the earliest examples of Loloma's work shown at the Wheelwright.
Tufa-cast silver bracelets dating to around 1960 have blackened trough spaces that suggest cuts a curandera might leave on the ground. A 1956 bracelet Loloma made for Ogilvanna Wright, the wife of Frank Lloyd Wright, bears scorched ridged lines nesting flat squares of coral and turquoise and, near the wrist, a second coral chip that covers a hole generated in the casting.
Loloma made Hs first documented ironwood-incorporating bracelet in 1962. He considered it so important in his development that he held it back from the buyer for 18 months and took it with him on his first trip to Pans, in 1963.
'The earliest silver work was very, very rough," Nequatewa says. Its vocabulary of stylizations juxtaposed the rusticity of casting burns and the ridged lines of plowed fields or topographic maps. These templates continued to guide the jewelry, even as it morphed into mind-blowing arrangements of dazzling gemstones. Nequatewa says her stone-setting was initially a cornrow style of lining up multicolored stones flush and straight. Over time, she began stacking stones into elevations in order to pattern increasingly abstract designs. 'The stones would decide the shape of curve of the bracelet," she explains.
In the catalog that accompanies the exhibition, one can trace the development from roughly 1975 to 1980 of objects that made use of sugilite, lapis, ivory, and more expensive and rare turquoise and coral. Spectacular stacking is visible in two ca. 1975
bracelets, which Nequatewa notes had been partly inspired by a trip Loloma made to New York City. Nineteen cantilevered stone slices set into a 1975 fabricated gold bracelet attained a four-inch diameter and repeated color and gradation for a bundled effect. One imagines the multiplicity of ways it would have been experienced: by the wearer, from below; while a viewer reading it from above might have perceived a Mondrian-like composition.
The post-1970 use of higher-end materials was, for Loloma, "a paradigm shift, in response to the market," says Mark Bahti. "But he did continually refresh his work. For our twenty-fifth anniversary show in '76, Charles made stone sculpture and ink drawings. He went back to ceramics for the first time in decades. He would from time to time go off to another media, and then, when he came back to making jewelry, he would do something completely different."
Regardless of media or style, Loloma's badger clan symbol, along with corn maiden, serpents, lizards, and Chakwaina representations would recur throughout his 30-year career. Collaged turquoise necklaces incorporating Lander blue and Bisbee appear intensely painterly. Loloma sometimes extended joclas into insanely long, 10-inch earrings or whimsically nested a branch of coral into a bob slide. Fashion designs became increasingly important to him after his two trips to Paris in 1963 and 1971. And the biomorphic shapes of the coral, wood, turquoise, ivory and lapis lazuli suggest the undulant figures and strange movements in the paintings of Max Ernst, whom Loloma had met in Paris. As Nequatewa stressed, Loloma was mainly interested in jewelry as a spatial practice that needed to embrace the formal rules of painting.
Yet the frustrations of typecasting and labeling remained. Putting his Indianness out there, comments Sabatie, was a mixed bag for him personally. "I think he wanted to go to Paris because he had to make a stand as a person in front of the white culture." "It was a real tricky thing to do because when you start playing those games you can get caught in them. In his work he remained pure, but in his person, I think, he suffered from it." She said that Loloma's difficulties in being perceived as "Indian enough" were that much more frustrating to him because he realized the debt so many Native American jewelry styles owed to Spanish influences -- for example, the squash blossom necklace.
Says Nequatewa, "For sure on Hopi reservations everybody still talks about him. Whoever knew him in the kiva learned a lot from him and wished they had spent more time with him."
Loloma suffered a bad car wreck in 1986. Although he had a brief recovery after a rehabilitation stay at Barrows Neurological Institute in Phoenix, he declined again and died in a nursing home in Phoenix in 1991, at age 69. Loloma's legacy is work that remains as stunning in its range, in its deliberate assertions of influences, and in its refusal to be constrained into any one world order, as when it was first made.
"I wish to create a relationship between the earth and myself," Loloma says, walking his dry cornfields with his nephew, Bryson, in a 1974 video. "Sometimes we do not realize what we are kicking over." He selects a piece of rock from the red ground. "I want to make the soul come out,"

EU caught in copyright wrangle
Belgian press sues EU after objecting to the way it links to new stories
Belgian newspapers have begun moves to sue the European Commission for copyright violation by linking to stories on their website.
A Brussels court has appointed Luc Golvers, a computer security expert, to look into the claim by Copiepresse, which represents the country's French- and German-language newspapers.
Last February Copiepresse won a landmark victory over Google after it successfully argued that the search giant was in breach of copyright by caching web pages long after they are freely accessible on the original website. Google has appealed.
Margaret Boribon, Copiepresse's secretary general, says that a decision on whether to file a lawsuit will depend on the expert's findings.
The organisation objects to links on two EU Joint Research Centre sites, Europe Media Monitor's (EMM) NewsBrief and NewsExplorer.
Golvers has been authorised to determine how EMM gathers news stories and compile a list of the stories on the EMM website as well as other servers to which the EMM has access. He has also been instructed to take web logs from the web servers.
The European Commission has yet to respond.

Published 3 April 2013
Russian media outlets have been reporting the death of notorious guerrilla artist P183, who was in his late 20s. Dubbed the "Russian Banksy" by Western media, in reference to the infamous British street artist, P183's playful and often politically subversive graffiti had regularly appeared at various places around Moscow for more than a decade. Like much of his life, P183's reported death is still shrouded in mystery and there are very few details surrounding the circumstances of his apparent demise. (10 PHOTOS)

I recently bought a package of skin-on chicken thighs. I don't usually prepare chicken thighs (more of a breast person), but I'd like to try something new. Does anyone have any great recipes using chicken thighs for me to try out?
Also, don't care if the skin stays on or is removed for the recipe...

While the historic Cedar Creek Trail is our most accessible trail, we are currently developing a trail system for visitors that wish to explore the more remote parts of the property.
Our first-ever trail is the Monacan Trail, named after the Native Americans that occupied some of the western portions of Virginia. This moderately strenuous 3+ mile loop is accessible from the back of the hotel near the water tower, and winds through the hills and ridges above Cedar Creek, passing creeks and wetlands and giving great views of the Short Hills to the west and the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east.
Our brand-new trail is the Buck Hill Trail, created by the Pathfinders for Greenways of Roanoke Valley Greenways. This 1.5-mile round trip trail begins at the Picnic Area at the Caverns, and winds just over half a mile until it ends. Though the trail is currently an "out and back" trail, a loop ending is in the works.
Some of our trails may be muddy or wet, and pass through unshaded areas, so waterproof boots and sunscreen are recommended. Keep some bug spray handy, too!

Dead End in Norvelt
by Jack Gantos
Dead End in Norvelt Questions
Bring on the tough stuff - there's not just one right answer.
- Here at Shmoop, it's not a real Monopoly game until someone sends the board, money, the shoe, and the top hat flying off the table. While the game in the book doesn't end this way, there's definitely some bad blood between Jack's parents that goes deeper than just the game. How do Jack's parents' differing views on Monopoly show us a miniature version of America's ongoing debate about the extent to which the government has responsibility for those of us who are less fortunate or less capable?
- Jack is history's fanboy. Have you ever stopped to think about where you stand in The Big Picture? What do you think Gantos is trying to say about the individual's placement within the larger realm of history?
- The book establishes that there were no smartphones in 1962, so kids had to resort to super fun activities like mowing corn or building book igloos. What might be some other differences between growing up in 1962 and growing up now? In what ways do you think it was easier? More difficult? (And not just because they didn't have Angry Birds.)
- You probably wouldn't be too happy if you woke up tomorrow morning to a big bulldozer getting ready to mow down your house—even if the point was to install a cellphone tower so you'd finally get reception on that new smartphone of yours. Progress always requires sacrifice, but what is ultimately acceptable? In what ways is Dead End in Norvelt a book about the history of people who are "in the way of progress" (4.29)? How do different people define "progress" in the novel?
- While he's by no means the bravest kid in the world, Jack does learn how to conquer some of his fears. When does Jack demonstrate the most courage in the book?
- The book's beginning and ending both have something to do with a movie screen. So, what's up with that drive-in movie theatre, anyway? What is the significance of movies in general, or the types of movies shown on the Viking's screen in particular?
- When you hear "Florida," you probably think of that giant mouse, his fancy castle, and all of the fun rides. You might also think of hurricanes, humidity, and cockroaches—er, palmetto bugs.
- Several of the characters in the book have either moved (Miss Volker's sister) or want to move (Jack's Dad and Mr. Spizz) from Norvelt to Florida. What do you think Florida represented in 1962? Do you think it means something different to the characters who grew up in the Depression than it does to younger people, like Jack?
- Check out these top music hits from 1962. What do you think Jack's playlist might be for the summer of 1962? How do the songs you chose reflect the actions, feelings and insights of Jack's twelfth summer?
