Turkish military under Gen. Ba?bu?: Style may differ but not the essence

Land Forces Commander Gen. İlker Başbuğ, who is set to become the new chief of general staff, replacing Gen. Yaşar Büyükanıt, is not expected to take any steps to reduce the Turkish military's role in politics, although he may be less outspoken -- perhaps avoiding, to a certain extent, serious political tensions. This year' meeting of the Supreme Military Council (YAŞ), which began under Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Friday, ends today and, after President Abdullah Gül approv...

The Trolls Among Us

Excellent article from NYT on internet trolling, posted here to remember. One afternoon in the spring of 2006, for reasons unknown to those who knew him, Mitchell Henderson, a seventh grader from Rochester, Minn., took a .22-caliber rifle down from a shelf in his parents’ bedroom closet and shot himself in the head. The next morning, Mitchell’s school assembled in the gym to begin mourning. His classmates created a virtual memorial on MySpace and garlanded it with remembrances. One wrote tha...

Schrag: Schwarzenegger Pay Cut Budget Trick is Latest in 5 Years of Missed Leadership

Schrag: Schwarzenegger Pay Cut Budget Trick is Latest in 5 Years of Missed Leadership

By Peter Schrag Arnold Schwarzenegger's professed intention to reduce the pay of 200,000 state workers to the federal minimum wage until there's a new budget doesn't quite fall into the "stop me before I kill again" class, but it comes close. It's not a strategy, either fiscal or political, but more like a cry of desperation. If they find the suicide's corpse on the floor, they'll say he really didn't mean to do himself in, he was just pleading for help. Or, if you want to get Shakespearean, it'...

Inon's Salon

Inon's Salon

Up-and-coming pianist Inon Barnatan will play the virtuosic Saint-Saëns Piano Concerto No. 2 tomorrow night with the SF Symphony led by James Gaffigan (in an all French program). Barnatan, like Gaffigan, is still in his twenties. So young, these stellar musicians! Born in Israel, musically trained in London, Barnatan now lives in NYC. And in between gigs with top orchestras around the world, he is an artist of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Here's what went down when SFist chatte...

Taking care of art while it's in someone else's hands

Okay, first I read this article about rip-off auctions on cruises. Amazing! I guess I'm slightly amazed that people on a cruise buy $30,000 art at an auction. But I'm flabbergasted that naive bidders have no problem dropping $30,000--on "fine art" they know nothing about. And I'm dumbfounded that an auction house would tell bidders that the values are 5x what they actually are. That led me to the Fine Art Registry, which I confess I've never visited. Great site! I got caught up in this article: ...

Getting Hooked on Rugs

Hooked rugs have advanced in the world, from the kitchen floor to the wall as works of art. There's a new generation of hookers whose work will never see the bottom of a shoe. For an increasing number of hookers (yes, that's what they call themselves), hooking is like painting. The wool is their paint and the hook is their paintbrush. Similar to paintings, there is now a wide array of hooked rug designs, from stark modern forms to folkloric scenes, subtle landscapes, and expressionistic self-por...
