STARR, FRANKLIN JEFFERSON (1805–1837). Franklin Jefferson Starr, law partner of William B. Travis and brother of Texas land and banking agent James Harper Starr, was born at New Hartford, Connecticut, on April 11, 1805, the son of James and Persia (Shaw) Starr. In 1814 the Starr family moved to Ohio, and in April 1829 Franklin Starr became adjutant of the Second Regiment of the Second Brigade, Seventh Division, Ohio state troops. Later as principal of an academy at Columbus, Ohio, he instructed his brother, James. Franklin J. Starr was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1833, then moved to Georgia and was admitted to the Georgia bar. In 1834 Starr and Amasa Spencer were commissioned to inspect conditions in Mexican Texas by a group of Georgia investors. They investigated potential localities for settlement and returned to Georgia in spring 1835. Their report to their Georgia clients revealed Texas agricultural prospects and the unsatisfactory aspects of the Mexican administration. Starr married Pamela Orme sometime before August 30, 1835, when the newly married couple migrated to Texas. Starr took his Mexican citizenship oath at San Felipe de Austin on December 24, 1835. He and William B. Travis formed a law partnership at San Felipe at that time. While Travis took command of the Texian forces at the Alamo in San Antonio and gained fame as the ill-fated commander of the Alamo, Starr joined a volunteer company under Moseley Baker and marched to Gonzales. Starr was granted a furlough to remove his family and belongings from San Felipe to a safer location in Nacogdoches during the Runaway Scrape. The William B. Travis diary was one of the items preserved by Starr and became significant after the fall of the Alamo. Starr began the practice of criminal law in Nacogdoches in May 1836. In May of the next year he became captain of a company of mounted volunteers organized to pursue hostile Indians in Nacogdoches County, which comprised a large part of the eastern part of the state at that time. The volunteers became sick from forced marches and exposure, since the military campaign was conducted during warm weather. Starr became ill with a fever and died on July 7, 1837. He was buried in Oak Grove Cemetery, Nacogdoches, Texas. The only child of Franklin and Pamela Starr was born on May 18, 1836, and died on June 7, 1839.

Overreaction Theatre: Scotland fan parties as England ‘finally play like Spain’

The Rio Report

View photo

When England fans thought that things could get no worse after their defeat at the hands of Uruguay this appeared on their television screens.

Having lost their two opening games of the World Cup, England still remarkably have a chance of making it through to the last 16.

The nature of their loss against Uruguay certainly caused quite the stir on Twitter. However, rather surprisingly, there was a complete lack of anger amongst the supporting masses on social media.

It was more a mix of remorse, disillusion and no little mocking.

To be fair, maybe the lack of anger was linked to the fact that everybody had seen it coming.

There were some positives to be drawn from England’s travails – well, sort of!

The ramfications of this loss run a whole lot deeper though – it is over to you now USA.

With a little luck it could have been oh so different.

But playing well means nothing, if, in essence, England’s record at the World Cup since 1990 is reminiscent of the following:

England’s inability to threaten the latter stages of World Cups has led some fans to draw some real damning conclusions.

To be clear, the DFS sale will never end. Never. Steven Gerrard’s torment will also never end, it appears.

In March he looked on the brink of captaining Liverpool to the Premier League title and then leading England at a World Cup in Brazil. Now, well, things are different.

In episodes such as this, there are always fall guys. And if you can’t blame the players then the next best thing is to go after those around the players.

Step forward one Dr Steve Peters.

There at least those on hand who wanted to offer some hope.

The fact that England aren’t officially out means that there is actually scope for further heartbreak – most notably in the form of the dreaded penalty shootout.

Not all is lost, though, there is still something left to play for.

Some even tried to paint things in a more positive light.

There is talk of having the experience of ‘tournament football’ and this experience will, of course, stand some of England’s younger players in good stead for future tournaments, where it will be their fault.

Co-driver Roberts killed in accident

Craig Breen's co-driver Gareth Roberts has been killed in an accident at the IRC Targa Florio Rally, which has now been cancelled as a mark of respect.

On stage eight of the race in Sicily there was an accident involving car number 15, Breen and Roberts, which resulted in the stage being stopped to enable medical crews to attend the scene.

Despite their best efforts, Roberts succumbed to his injuries and the remainder of the event has been cancelled as a mark of respect.

Breen was unhurt in the accident but treated for shock at the scene. No spectators were involved.

Eurosport joins the IRC community in offering its sincere condolences to Gareth’s family and friends, who are in our thoughts at this sad time.

Gareth, who was 24 and from Wales, trained as an electrician.

He began competing in 2004 and achieved considerable success in the one-make Fiesta SportTrophy series. He formed a formidable partnership with Breen for the start of the 2009 season, which included the pair winning the inaugural FIA WRC Academy Cup in 2011.

Roberts was embarking on his first major campaign in the IRC. Following points-scoring finishes on the Donnelly Group Circuit of Ireland Rally in April and Giru di Corsica-Tour de Corse last month, their programme with Sainteloc Racing would have included the upcoming Geko Ypres Rally and Sibiu Rally Romania.

Their participation on Targa Florio-Rally Internazionale Di Sicilia with HRT Motorsport was added to their schedule to provide an additional opportunity to demonstrate their considerable talents in a Peugeot 207 Super 2000.

After seven stages in Sicily they were in sixth position overall having set a succession of impressive stage times on an event they were competing on for the first time.

Following their performance in Corsica, where an onboard camera captured Gareth’s expert pacenote-reading skills live on Eurosport, Breen said: “Gareth is a magician, he’s incredible how he gets every note out so quickly. I couldn’t do it without him.”

"It's a very sad accident that reminds us that motorsport is dangerous," IRC manager Jean-Pierre Nicolas said.

"Accidents can affect both driver and co-driver in rallying, and sadly, more often than not it is the co-driver who suffers - as we saw in 2005 on Rally Great Britain when Michael Park was killed.

"The death of a 24-year-old young man at the start of a fantastic career is always a tragedy.

"At this terrible time, I'm thinking very much of Gareth's family."

A little Ultimo Coffee news

No extraordinary news to report, but I figured I’d give an update on where we are right now.

We are still in the buildout stage and are in the process of coming up with a lighting scheme for the bar.  We’re looking at doing the hanging bulb thing for some of our accent lighting and some simple tracks for most everything else.  We are also happy to report that our clear panel garage door is more or less installed.  Thanks to Crema Bakery and Cafe in Portland, OR for the inspiration!  The inside of ultimo coffee/brew is still very unfinished, but once the electrical and plumbing has been roughed in, drywalling will be right around the corner.  At that point things will begin to move very quickly.  I hope to have some photos up soon so stayed tuned for more new!

    Oh, the hanging bulb. Like at 2Amy’s? Nice choice.

  2. Dawn says:

    I can always use a little Ultimo Coffee update to my day. I have enjoyed watching your dream come to reality. That gives me hope for my husband and I to see our coffee venture come true in Christiansburg Virgina. Only we can’t even come up with a name. We have the site we have our espresso machine,grinder, the list goes on.My husband is actually already in Virginia, while I am riding out the snow days at my school where I teach in Indiana. Anyhow, I love your website and the great pictures…if you have any name ideas please send them my way. dawn

  3. BOSCO says:

    Congratulations to both of you. Your dream finally a reality. I feel very proud of you and thank for the many days of coffee talk you gave me. You were my very first introduction into the coffee world and wish you much success,

Concurrent Enrollment

The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma is making college classes available to advanced high school students. This means that students will have an opportunity:

  1. For a head start in college in a friendly and encouraging atmosphere, where all approved classes will transfer to all other public colleges and universities in Oklahoma.
  2. To simultaneously earn high school and university credit.
  3. To save money by earning university credit with no extra charges for room and board.

The classes will be held in a college environment on USAO's campus and concurrent students will compete with older students, all of whom have earned a high school diploma or the equivalent. USAO's regular and adjunct faculty will teach them. The university will monitor class quality.

  • High school seniors may enroll, who have a minimal ACT composite score of 24 (SAT combined critical reading and mathematical score of 1090) or a GPA of at least 3.0 and a ranking in the top 25% of their class.
  • High school juniors may enroll, who have a minimal ACT composite of 24 (SAT combined critical reading and mathematical score of 1090) or a GPA of at least 3.5.
  • Home-schooled students may enroll if they meet the requirements listed above and are at least 16 years of age.

There are minimum ACT sub score requirements for certain classes as listed below:

  • 19 ACT in English to take an English class
  • 19 ACT in math to take a math class
  • 19 ACT in science to take a science class
  • 19 ACT in reading to take history and social science classes, or any other collegiate course (outside of English, math and science).

High school seniors are eligible for a waiver of tuition for up to 6 credit hours each trimester. High school juniors are not eligible for a waiver of tuition. All students are responsible for the cost of fees and books. To determine the current cost for tuition and fees visit the cost of attendance page. The balance of the costs is due on the first day of the trimester. Payment plans are available from the USAO Business Office.

Students must participate in ACT testing for college course placement. Students may take the national ACT at USAO or elsewhere on any of the national testing dates. USAO also offers additional days on which students may take the residual ACT. USAO grades the residual ACT test and gives students their scores on the same day. The residual ACT taken at USAO may only be used at USAO and may only be taken once in an annual cycle (Oct. 1 through Sept. 30).

A high school student admitted under the provisions above may enroll in a combined number of high school and college courses per semester not to exceed a full-time college workload of 19 semester-credit-hours. For purposes of calculating workload, one high school course shall be equivalent to three semester-credit-hours of college work.

For example; 3 high school courses equal 9 college credit hours. A student may enroll in a maximum of 9 semester-credit-hours during a summer session or term at USAO without the necessity of being concurrently enrolled in high school classes during the summer term.

Students must complete the Application for Concurrent Enrollment and submit it along with official high school transcripts and ACT/SAT scores to the Registrar's Office (Troutt Hall, room 204) for admission and pre-enrollment.

Note: For a more detailed description of concurrent enrollment requirements and procedures, visit the USAO catalog, page 13-14.

Bistro La Bonne

Well, I totally missed this. I walk this block at least once a day and I had no clue that Axis had closed, and Bistro La Bonne (and no, it’s not just you – the website has been taking forever to load) has opened in its place on the 1300 block of U street (thanks to Prince of Petworth via FrenchTwistDC for the tip). Bistro La Bonne serves classic French fare from Chef Daniel La Bonne Labonne, with staples like coq au vin, escargot, beouf bourguignon, etc. It seems like La Bonne used to have a Soupe Cafe in Sacramento, CA which got good reviews on Yelp.

I will make a point of stopping by soon, and will definitely write it up. Has anyone checked it out? Have any opinions?

UPDATE: After some internet sleuthing I have realized the chef’s name is spelled Labonne, one word, giving me more information about him. He used to cook at Tabaq Bistro, and Wazuri.

Facebook’s emotion study mess, summarized: still awful [Updated]

A couple of days ago I broke my hiatus to talk about Facebook’s emotion study. I found myself updating the post almost immediately, and the updates have continued unabated as more information trickled out through the weekend, sometimes contradicting, sometimes reinforcing what we thought we knew. Rather than endlessly updating that post I thought it was time to write a new post that summarizes where we are now. I’m not linking a lot in this summary, but I encourage you to read and follow Kashmir Hill, who has been doing superb reporting (and updating) at Forbes.

A quick reminder of the main points: Two academics and a Facebook data scientist published a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. They reported the results of a study which attempted to manipulate the emotional content of Facebook News Feeds. 600,000 users were included in the study, with some being in treatment groups (their feeds were manipulated according to the study protocol) and some in control groups (their feeds were not).

The two requirements to be included were: (1) posting in the English language; and (2) having posted in the last week. The study took place over seven days in January 2012.

US government-funded research that involves human subjects is required to conform to the Common Rule, which protects subjects from mistreatment and stipulates that they give informed consent before they participate. Informed consent is a technical requirement that places certain burdens of explanation and disclosure on the researcher. Not all studies can provide complete information to subjects before the experiment takes place because knowledge may alter behavior in ways that invalidate the study. In these cases, deception is permitted in initially informing the subject and carrying out the data collection, but the subject must be debriefed after participation, ideally directly after but in all cases before the data are analyzed. Consequent to this debriefing, the subject has the right to have her data removed from the study.

Studies that do not receive federal funding are not required to conform to the Common Rule, but many private and public institutions (and some companies) voluntarily choose to meet these requirements.  Versions of the Common Rule are in force in many other countries but by no means all.

The data collection and analysis for this emotion study were conducted by the Facebook data scientist. The academic authors, according to the notes provided by PNAS, limited their participation to designing the research and writing up the paper (together with the Facebook data scientist). This means that the academics were effectively siloed from the human subject part of the research.

Facebook asserts that they received informed consent from their human subjects. How? Because all Facebook users agree to Facebook’s terms of service conditions when they set up their accounts. These conditions include assent to research for internal operations purposes.

This assertion is completely untenable in the US academic sphere. Informed consent requires affirmative, specific-to-the-study, consent, not a blanket “I agree” box check, and it requires the researcher to provide information about the specifics of the project and possible ramifications before and after the subject participates. I am confident that there is no IRB in a US research institution that would consider agreement to Facebook’s TOS to constitute informed consent to any and all research projects.

But university IRB approval wasn’t necessary, because Facebook didn’t receive federal funds, and the academics (who are responsible to their universities) didn’t participate in the collection and analysis of data that failed to meet human subjects treatment standards. The study, to use an apt phrase, engaged in IRB laundering. Cornell University either did not need to grant IRB approval or granted IRB approval for data analysis on an existing dataset. Update: Cornell has released a statement asserting that

Because the research was conducted independently by Facebook and Professor Hancock had access only to results – and not to any data at any time – Cornell University’s Institutional Review Board concluded that he was not directly engaged in human research and that no review by the Cornell Human Research Protection Program was required.

Facebook apparently has an internal IRB process, but if they are happy with the argument that TOS agreement provides informed consent, they’re presumably engaged in looking at other aspects of the research.

[Update: Kashmir Hill at Forbes has just reported that Facebook’s TOS in January 2012 made no mention of research. So the TOS justification falls apart.]

As I said in the previous post, this is not the first time Facebook and academics have joined forces to manipulate user behavior for non-commercial (or not solely commercial) purposes.  In 2010 they conducted a political experiment to increase voter turnout and claimed that the manipulation resulted in up to 340,000 more votes cast. It is extremely unlikely that Facebook’s “informed consent” process was any different for that study.

Where does this leave us? I’ve read the criticisms that

  1. the effects were small, so who cares?
  2. it was a crappy study and it probably didn’t affect users at all, so who cares?
  3. Facebook does this all the time, so who cares?
  4. users should know what they’re getting into with Facebook so it’s on them, not Facebook.

These arguments have been cogently addressed elsewhere and I’m not interested in rehashing them. My current and greatest concern is about the effects of large-scale experiments on populations who clearly, obviously, have not consented to participate, the results of which are disseminated publicly, with the imprimatur of academic legitimacy.

There is nothing academically legitimate about this study. The academics involved should be ashamed of themselves for lending scholarly credibility to an ethically indefensible process. And the PNAS should be ashamed of itself for allowing ethically flawed data collection and analysis to be approvingly published in a respected journal.

I don’t love IRBs. I complain about my university’s IRB every time I have to recertify myself, every time I advise students on their IRB applications, and every time the subject of IRBs comes up in faculty conversations and meetings.

This is not about how well IRBs do their job. It’s about the fact that imperfect or not, IRBs are much, much better than the alternatives. IRB’s are part of the institutional checks that keep us from repeating debacles like the Tearoom Trade study, the Stanford Prison Experiment, and Willowbrook.

As Susanna Fraser noted in comments to my previous post, we have enough suspicion around science and scientific research these days. When academics contribute to research that violates the protocols designed to protect the dignity of human subjects, everyone loses. Even, in the long run, Facebook.

5 thoughts on “Facebook’s emotion study mess, summarized: still awful [Updated]

  1. What is not clear is what data were retained? Were data identifiable? Can the data collected be traced to specific facebook accounts or is it the case that only aggregate data collected? Based on Code of Federal Regulations related to human subjects research, these questions, along with several others, are relevant and essential. The answers determine whether or not the research study is exempt from review and if informed consent is required.

    • The data are not individually identifiable, at least attempts were made to anonymize them. Facebook is not subject to the federal regulations because they did not use federal funds. The academics did not collect or directly analyze the data, so the IRB at Cornell decided that they didn’t have to conform to the usual university and govt. rules (which are focused on direct contact with human subjects and their data).

    • It really is. The more news that comes out, the more troubling it is.

      I wrote a summary post over at Dear Author today, but most of it is contained in this post and the previous one.

Turn Anger Into Action

April 12, 2013 – The Virginia Board of Health today defied the recommendations of legal and medical experts – and the protest of thousands of Virginians – in voting 11-2 to subject women’s health centers that provide abortion care and other reproductive and sexual health services to medically-unnecessary building requirements. These targeted regulations on abortion providers (TRAP) require Virginia’s first-trimester abortion providers to comply with architectural standards written for newly-constructed hospitals – standards not required of any other outpatient facility or existing hospital in the commonwealth. As approved by the Board of Health, these unprecedented regulations will likely force the majority of first-trimester abortion providers in Virginia to close due to the expense and difficulty required to reconstruct existing facilities.

Virginia NOW labels these regulations the “Cuccinelli-McDonnell clinic-closing regulations” because they are a result of the political agenda and anti-women ideology of Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and Governor Bob McDonnell.  As you know, Cuccinelli is running to be the next governor. If elected, he will be in position to further escalate his blatant career- long crusade against women’s access to reproductive health care. What can we do?

We’re activists! We’re angry, outraged, sad. What should we do to express our feelings? My personal response: get involved in the political process by working for candidates who will safeguard women’s rights and defeating candidates who will take away our rights and freedoms. By getting involved I mean REALLY INVOLVED – going to political meetings, volunteering for a candidate, giving money to candidates, going door-to-door for a candidate, making phone calls, doing data entry, handing out literature, talking to your neighbors. You get the idea. Perhaps you could be a candidate yourself.

What will you do? Post a message on the Virginia NOW facebook page or email legislativevp@vanow.org and I’ll post it for you (anonymously if you wish).

Make this a turning point. Turn anger into action.

Thank you for all you do to safeguard women’s health and lives.

How to Interpret these Evaluations

Keep in mind that ratings done by special interest groups often do not represent a non-partisan stance. In addition, some groups select votes that tend to favor members of one political party over another, rather than choosing votes based solely on issues concerns. Nevertheless, they can be invaluable in showing where an incumbent has stood on a series of votes in the past one or two years, especially when ratings by groups on all sides of an issue are compared. Website links, if available, and descriptions of the organizations offering performance evaluations are accessible by clicking on the name of the group.

Most performance evaluations are displayed in a percentage format. However, some organizations present their ratings in the form of a letter grade or endorsement based on voting records, interviews, survey results and/or sources of campaign funding. For consistency and ease in understanding, Project Vote Smart converts all scores into a percentage when possible. Please visit the group's website or call 1-888-VOTESMART for more specific information.

Management Frameworks for Web Services

Posted by cdifazio on June 13, 2003 at 10:45 AM PDT

The JMX framework and Web Services are a great fit. If you are facing web service management challenges like:

  • remote maangement across enterprise boundaries
  • remote maangement across enterprise boundaries
  • disparate web service platforms
  • different levels of Quality of Service
  • secure access
  • managing web service aggregates

and looking for a solution then JMX should be part of existing solution framework. JMX is an API for managing any java component. It relies on MBeans. This infrastructure is not new it is already part of the manangement strategy for products like JBoss, BEA ...

If you did not get the slides and are building a web service infrastructure - this talk is a must see! Great job guys.

Borrowing from Vista - part II

Posted by kirillcool on April 28, 2007 at 2:07 PM PDT

The first part of this series described the fade effects on tree decorations (lines and expand / collapse icons) that happen under Vista and were added to the latest stable release of Substance. In this part, i'm going to show another nice feature that is present in Vista trees. I call this feature "smart scroll", and it is a real time saver for scrolling multi-level trees with limited horizontal space.

I first noticed this in Eclipse. Usually, i leave something like 200-250 pixels for the package / navigator view, and when i start scrolling up and down, in most cases i have to scroll horizontally as well, especially if i'm looking at classes that are 4-6 levels deep. This is rather time consuming, since you can easily wind up looking at a completely blank view of the tree, and then you have to scroll the tree either to the left or to the right to get your bearings. At that point, you're back again to the vertical scrollbar. Rinse and repeat. However, under Vista this process no longer exists - once you scroll the tree to an (almost) blank view, it automatically scrolls horizontally (as needed to the left or to the right) to bring you in sync with the visible (informational) part of the tree. Needless to say, this is a real time saver, since you're only operating the vertical scroll bar and never get lost in blank areas.

And so, the latest drop of 4.0dev version of Substance (code-named Key Largo) provides this functionality to the applications. As with the tree decorations fade, it is disabled by default and can be enabled by using the relevant FadeConfigurationManager APIs. The matching fade kind constant is SubstanceLookAndFeel.TREE_SMART_SCROLL_ANIMATION_KIND. Here is a video demonstrating it in action - note how the viewport is adjusted to scroll to the relevant tree section. In addition, note that the horizontal scroll doesn't kick in immediately (same as in Vista) - if you continue scrolling on vertically, it will wait until you stop.

If you want to see it in action, you're welcome to install the latest NetBeans module and play with the different tree views.

This Pledge is made for the benefit of the researchers and institutions meeting the criteria set forth below.

2. Definitions

3. Research Non-Assertion Pledge

3.1 Subject to the exceptions and limitations in this Section 3, Grantor hereby promises not to assert any Patent Rights anywhere in the world against a Non-Profit Institution, or its staff, representatives, or students, in each case only to the extent engaging in Non-Commercial Research Use that would infringe the Patent Rights but for this Pledge.

3.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Grantor may terminate this Pledge as against any party in the event that such party asserts a claim of patent infringement against Grantor or any third party with respect to products or services of Grantor, unless (a) such claim is first asserted after Grantor has asserted a claim of patent infringement against such party or any third party with respect to products or services of such party, or (b) such party fully withdraws such claim within ten (10) days after being notified by Grantor. For purposes of this paragraph, “Licensor” and “Licensee” shall also include their respective affiliates.

CRS: Burma-U.S. Relations, June 2, 2008

From WikiLeaks

Jump to: navigation, search

About this CRS report

This document was obtained by Wikileaks from the United States Congressional Research Service.

The CRS is a Congressional "think tank" with a staff of around 700. Reports are commissioned by members of Congress on topics relevant to current political events. Despite CRS costs to the tax payer of over $100M a year, its electronic archives are, as a matter of policy, not made available to the public.

Individual members of Congress will release specific CRS reports if they believe it to assist them politically, but CRS archives as a whole are firewalled from public access.

This report was obtained by Wikileaks staff from CRS computers accessible only from Congressional offices.

Wikileaks release: February 2, 2009

Publisher: United States Congressional Research Service

Title: Burma-U.S. Relations

CRS report number: RL33479

Author(s): Larry Niksch, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division

Date: June 2, 2008

Since 1988, the United States has imposed sanctions against Burma, including congressional passage in 2003 of the Burma Freedom and Democracy Act (P.L. 108- 61) banning imports from Burma (renewed by Congress in 2006). The Bush Administration proposed that the U.N. Security Council consider the Burma situation and introduced a resolution in the Council in December 2006. China and Russia vetoed the resolution in January 2007 and blocked a U.S. attempt to secure Security Council consideration of sanctions in September 2007. Since then, the Administration issued several executive orders prohibiting U.S. financial dealings and imposing a travel ban on named Burmese individuals and companies connected to the SPDC.

Replytocom Controller

Replytocom Controller lets remove "?replytocom" from comment reply urls and redirect bots who try to use it anyway.

Hate duplicate content? Hate wasting server resources?

Replytocom Controller gives you the option to remove "?replytocom" from comment urls and optionally redirect visitors & bots who try to use it anyway to a destination of your choice.

For those concerned about duplicate content for SEO purposes, the benefits should be obvious.

If you want to speed up your WordPress server, the redirection will let you stop wasting resources serving up the same page over and over again to a crawler bot. Even worse, pages with a question mark in the url aren't typically cached by caching plugins like WP Super Cache. That means that those bot crawls are eating up way more resources then a normal url would. Now you can send them to a cached copy of that page, a less resource intensive page, or any other url.

Of course, the cost of all this is that visitors can't have JavaScript turned off if they want to leave replies in threaded comments.

Custom Permalink Structure Not Working (10 posts)

  1. Anonymous
    Posted 7 years ago #

    Hi there!

    I'm using the latest WordPress 2.6.
    I migrated from Movable Type, and would like my permalink structure to be like this: /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html, (as in 2007/10/what_am_i_up_to_lately.html)

    When I go to Settings -> Permalinks, choose the above as my Custom Structure and save the changes, none of the posts, pages (About), archives, comments etc. are accessible (always get a 404 error). Only the Default setting works for me (i.e., http://www.bsreview.org/blog/?p=123).

    Can anybody help me, please? Here is the site: http://www.bsreview.org/blog/. Thanks a lot for any help, and sorry if this has been dealt before. I searched but could not find anything on this specific problem.

    I have the same problem! Nothing works!

  3. lozy

    did you upload the .htaccess file to your blogs' root directory?

  4. scrstudios
    Posted 7 years ago #

    I followed the advice in another post and added the following under Settings>Permalinks and it seem to fix the same problem for me:

    1) Set Category base to "/category"
    2) Set Tag base to "/tag"

    Hope that helps

    I found it! I used this plugin:

    Then i edited the .htaccess like this: (default but was missing)

    1.# BEGIN WordPress
    2.<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    3.RewriteEngine On
    4.RewriteBase /
    5.RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    6.RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    7.RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    9.# END WordPress

    Now /%whatever% works

  6. Anna99
    Posted 7 years ago #

    can someone help me with this? i need to upload or modify my .htaccess file, and have downloaded the plugin that dikozall suggests. when i'm in the Options Configuration Panel of my WordPress and click "Go Edit" link, it give me the "Not Found" error. so what do i resolve this? i need to upload or somehow that file.

  7. Rooster
    Posted 6 years ago #

    Here's what I did that worked for me.

    1. Ensure that your .htaccess file is writable in your blog root directory. The permission should be set to "777". For MAC users, right-click and select 'Get Info'. The dialogue box should have an Octal value of 777 giving read, write and execute permissions to all 3 groups - User, Group and World.

    2. I had to put /index.php before the rest of my custom code in SETTINGS --> PERMALINKS in the WordPress control panel. It looked like this: /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/

    I don't know why or how that worked. I don't care. It works now. Hope it does for you.

  8. galleryuccs
    Posted 6 years ago #

    I have also been having ongoing problems with custom permalinks...

    Last year the galleryuccs.org site couldn't find post image links, but then it could if you changed the date for the post. Seemed like an odd work-around to me, but easy enough.

    Then, the 2009 folder I made that has this year's images for shows was and still is impossible to find by wordpress.
    The site uses the custom link formula of %category%/%year%/%postname%.

    Any ideas would be appreciated, I can't find anything in the forums or on the web that addresses this particular problem.

  9. galleryuccs
    Posted 6 years ago #

    Also, on the post I'm trying to make where only name of the post's text shows up instead of the image, I copied the image location, and for the thumbnail it used the 2008 folder, and for the full-size it used the 2007 folder.

    A little puzzle for your Monday!
    Thanks again, Millie

  10. peiferus
    Posted 6 years ago #

    The anonymous post listed above worked perfectly for me. I'm re-posting the contents of the .htaccess file here WITHOUT the line numbers (1. 2. 3. etc.). The code won't work with the line numbers included.

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    # END WordPress

[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] Google Authorship / Yoast's 2-link method any downside? / Q re (1 post)

  1. Siteseeing
    Posted 2 years ago #

    I have a question regarding the implementation of Google Authorship, especially when having multi-author blogs in mind in the future (currently: single author). The Yoast WordPress SEO plugin represents the 2-link method, using the new <link rel="author" google+ url> meta tag on each post and page. This means masses of links to G+ from all these content pages/posts.

    In contrast, the 3-link method links every content page/post via the tag rel="author" with its respective author page on the same domain (all internal linking), and there is a single rel="me" link that creates the connection to the respective author's G+ profile, for all pages and posts!

    Q: Is there any SEO downside to using the 2-link method in terms of the number of outlinks it creates?

    Q: Is it even possible to create this 3-link method using the Yoast WordPress SEO plugin? If not, how could this be achieved (rel="author" links

    Q: Not directly related to this plugin, but to do with the implementation of Google authorship (which is part of the plugin). How can I customize the author bio page in WP?

qTranslate with Exclusive Content Password Protect (1 post)

  1. bluedrag
    Posted 2 years ago #

    Hi guys,

    I have a website in English and French that uses qTranslate to switch between the two languages, that's working fine.

    I'm now trying to add a page that would be password protected (client wants something simple, no registration, just a global password that we can give to anyone who needs to go to the page.)

    That's working fine too. What I'm having trouble with is integrating qTranslate with the password plug in. Is there any way to do this? The language switching custom tags don't seem to work in the Content Protect fields (on the admin section) or if I directly put them in the PHP file.

    Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe a different password plug in would work better?

Huntress Group Grows Revenues & Strengthens Main Board

Huntress Search Ltd, a leading independent recruitment company, today announced that the Senior Management Team have agreed a buyout of the Nomura Private Equity holding in the company.

As part of this transaction, Philip Marks, MD of Hamilton Blake, and Di Bradbury, MD of Huntress Commercial, have joined the Main Board.  The Board has been further strengthened with the appointment of two non-executive Directors, John Pullan a

Di Bradbury, MD of Huntress Commercial

nd Geoff Lloyd with considerable experience in the recruitment industry.

John Pullan joined Computer Futures in 1993 as a founding member of the contract division. In 2003 Pullan, founded JP Gray, the first non-IT branded recruiter in the Sthree Group, focusing on Accountancy and Finance across Europe and took a seat on the Sthree PLC Executive Board.

Geoff Lloyd founded the technical recruitment company, NES, during 1978 in Oil & Gas, Power, IT and Infrastructure with offices in the UK, America, Middle and Far East. As Chairman, Lloyd, led NES to a hugely successful exit in 2006 when the company was sold in an £86m transaction.

Stephen Ross, Chairman, Huntress, says: “I am delighted to welcome John and Geoff who both bring extensive Board level expertise in international recruitment. This is the beginning of a very exciting time at Huntress and we look forward to substantial growth in the years to come.

Already, we have seen significant increases in revenues and profit across every division within the Huntress Group during Q1 2010. The Senior Management Team has demonstrated their commitment and belief in the company and we have added significant depth to the main board.”

Huntress is benefiting from their investment in experienced consultants, a stronger market and the emergence of their new “Recruitment for Professionals” brand, Hamilton Blake. In the first quarter of, 2010, NFI was up 17% on the last quarter of 2009. This improved performance will allow the company to further invest in the business with the expansion of headcount across all its core sectors.

I love to cook and bake, I'm an avid reader (can't live or travel without my Kindle), indoor rock climber, lover of arts and culture, and newly into camping. Owner of two cats (but I also like dogs). I watch far too much reality television but I'm also always up for an adventure. My favorite place in the world is Japan, but now that I'm out of grad school my husband and I are looking to travel around the world a lot more. We love to explore new places and get lost along the way. One of my favorite travel memories was our trip to Japan where we got to feed Monkeys at Monkey Park, and then rented a rowboat and rowed along a beautiful river (it was cherry blossom season). I'm an avid planner, but also like when you discover new things by accident. We're very respectful travelers and generally spend all day out exploring and then go back to our accommodations, relax and recharge for the next day of excitement.

What the Public Really Thinks About Guns

Students join interfaith candlelight prayer vigil to end gun violence

For years the conventional wisdom has said that “gun control” is a deeply polarizing and divisive issue and that support for stronger gun laws has been declining. In the wake of the December shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, however, a wealth of new data challenges this conventional wisdom. First, public opinion has shifted significantly. By many measures, support for stronger gun laws has substantially increased. Second, signs of an emerging national consensus on many gun issues—which was actually developing prior to the Newtown shooting—are also evident.

In this issue brief—co-authored by a bipartisan team of pollsters who have each conducted public-opinion research on attitudes toward guns in recent years—we hope to set the record straight and provide tools for polling outlets and reporters going forward. We’ll focus on three key points:

  • Newtown changed the debate. The Newtown shooting had a greater impact on public opinion about guns than any other event in the past two decades—and led to a clear rise in public support for stronger gun laws. In particular, three aspects about public opinion in the wake of Newtown are notable:
    • Near unanimous support for universal background checks and clear majority support for high-capacity magazine and assault-weapons bans
    • Almost as much support for stronger gun laws among gun owners as among the general public
    • A large gender gap in views on guns and violence
  • Much of the pre-Newtown polling missed emerging trends of Americans’ views on gun issues. Even before the Newtown shooting, Americans were less divided than some polling suggested because much of the polling contained the following three kinds of errors, omissions, or oversights:
    • Overly broad questions on gun views failed to capture nuances in public opinion
    • Outdated policy questions about guns missed the current debate
    • Outdated language to describe gun issues failed to capture voter attitudes
  • There is an emerging consensus on guns among the American public. Most Americans agree that handguns should not be banned, that more needs to be done to keep guns away from dangerous people, and that military-style weapons don’t belong on the streets.

Below, we look at these key points in more detail.

Newtown changed the debate

Most public polling on guns is conducted in the aftermath of a mass shooting, so it can be difficult to parse out what is a post-shooting reaction and what is the more stable public opinion. But the Newtown shooting has changed public opinion on guns in ways that the shootings at Columbine High School, Virginia Tech University, and in Tucson, Arizona, did not.

Americans across demographic groups report that Newtown has changed their views. In a January Washington Post/ABC News poll, a majority of Americans—52 percent—say they are now “more likely to support some forms of gun control,” with twice as many—35 percent—”much more likely” than “somewhat more likely”—17 percent. Even 44 percent of Republicans and 43 percent of Americans in gun-owning households said that they are more likely to support some stronger gun laws. Only a handful of voters overall—5 percent—say that they are less likely to support stronger gun laws. (see Figure 1)

Likewise, in each polling outlets’ broad-climate questions, support for stronger gun laws increased in the immediate aftermath of Newtown and continues to increase a month or more later. Gallup, for example, typically asks a three-pronged question: Should laws be “more strict, less strict, or kept as they are now?” Other outlets have a similar formulation. This version of the question has shown a decline in “more strict” responses over the years, but those numbers have recently stabilized. In the wake of Newtown, support for stricter laws has jumped more than at any time in the last two decades. (see Figure 2)

And though the National Rifle Association, or NRA, may be waiting for the “Connecticut effect” to dissipate, support for stronger gun laws remains high, with many polls showing majority support for stricter gun laws a month—and in some cases nearly two months—after Newtown. In fact, some public opinion research suggests that support for stronger gun laws has not only maintained its post-Newtown bump but also that support is continuing to rise.

An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found that in mid-January, a month after Newtown, 56 percent of Americans supported “stricter” gun laws, as opposed to the 35 percent who wanted laws kept as they are and the 7 percent who wanted laws weakened. Two months after Newtown the same poll showed that support for stricter laws had increased to 61 percent, with only 4 percent of Americans favoring weaker laws and 34 percent wanting current laws to be maintained.

There is near unanimous support for keeping guns out of dangerous hands

When pollsters drill down to particular policy proposals, almost all voters want to keep guns out of dangerous hands. In every poll where these measures are tested, support for appropriate measures is strong and consistent—and transcends party lines.

Background checks: Voters support criminal background checks of essentially all kinds—for every gun purchase, at gun shows, for ammunition, and others. Support for these proposals is nearly unanimous—and has been in every poll we’ve seen. There is also nearly unanimous support for specific measures to keep felons, the mentally ill, drug abusers, those with arrests for domestic violence, and those on the government’s terrorist watch list from purchasing guns.

High-capacity magazines and assault weapons: A smaller but a consistent majority of voters supports bans on high-capacity magazines, assault weapons, and other perceived safety threats. The major pieces of President Barack Obama’s package requiring congressional approval—a ban on high-capacity magazines and assault weapons—are more popular than media coverage would suggest. A ban on high-capacity magazines is consistently popular with a majority of voters. Results have fluctuated little over the decades of public polling—between majority support and two-thirds support. In the January Washington Post/ABC News poll, 59 percent of Republicans say they supported such a ban. The only stronger gun law currently being discussed that has occasionally received less than majority support is an assault-weapons ban, but that proposal usually receives majority support. On average, support for a high-capacity magazine ban exceeds support for an assault-weapons ban by five points.

Table 1 below shows recent results across polling outlets for some of these proposals. For full question wording and polling methodology, please see the endnotes.

Support for action is high even among gun owners

Polling shows that support for strong gun measures is high among gun owners. Support for requiring criminal background checks for all gun sales—no matter who the seller is or where the location of the sale is—receives not only near-universal support among the general public but also among gun owners. (see Table 2)

On other policy questions, a gap between the opinions of the overall public and gun owners develops—but perhaps not as wide as one might expect. On the question of assault weapons, for example, a December Pew Research Center poll found that about two-thirds (65 percent) of Americans think, “allowing citizens to own assault weapons makes the country more dangerous.” Half (50 percent) of those in a gun-owning household agree. Likewise, while a February Quinnipiac poll shows that 56 percent of Americans support bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, support among gun owners trails 12 points and 11 points behind, respectively.

Perhaps most troubling for NRA leadership is that a majority of respondents—61 percent—in a recent Gallup poll say that the NRA does not reflect gun owners’ views on guns. Even in gun-owning households, 49 percent of respondents say that the NRA reflects their views “only sometimes/never,” while 50 percent of respondents answer “always/most of the time.” The NRA’s distance from gun owners suggests the organization is out of touch with its own constituency. And voters agree. A February Public Policy Polling poll shows that 39 percent of Americans said that the NRA’s support would make them less likely to support a candidate for office, while only 26 percent said the NRA’s support would make them more likely to support a candidate.

An important gender gap

With women voters increasingly crucial to electoral success, a gender gap on guns means the issue can drive the political dialogue. Women are more supportive of stronger gun laws broadly and more likely to support specific proposals. The gender gap transcends party affiliation.

In the wake of Newtown, CBS News and The New York Times, Public Policy Polling, and the Pew Research Center each show a double-digit gender gap in support of stronger gun laws, with approximately 6 in 10 women supporting such a change. Both Pew and Gallup tracking suggest that this gender gap dates back to the 1990s.

The gap pervades every proposal tested. The mid-January Washington Post/ABC News poll showed that support for a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines runs 16 points and 15 points higher, respectively, among women than it does among men. Pew shows a similar result. In fact, both polls show majorities of women support every single specific stronger gun law tested, aside from arming teachers. (For more on this gender gap, see this piece by co-author Margie Omero.)

While conventional wisdom may say that the NRA is a well-liked organization, that is simply not true among women. In mid-January the Washington Post/ABC News poll showed men slightly favorable toward the “NRA leadership,” while women were unfavorable by a nearly 2-1 ratio. Similarly, Public Policy Polling found women unfavorable to the group even before the December press conference in which NRA CEO and Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre defended guns and called for more armed guards in schools as a response to reducing gun violence.

Furthermore, a February 2013 bipartisan poll of women voters for the Women Donors Network—conducted by co-authors Bob Carpenter and Diane Feldman—showed the NRA to be the least influential person or group on women’s views on guns. Even women in NRA-member households rated parents and “women like themselves” more highly as spokespersons than they rated the NRA.

One likely driver of this gender gap is women’s concern about violence in their communities. After Newtown, both the Washington Post/ABC News poll and Gallup showed that about 6 in 10 women worried about a mass shooting, compared to less than half of men. And the Women Donors Network survey cited above showed that women were concerned about a broader culture of violence—and that 23 percent of likely voting women had themselves been a victim of physical violence or physical abuse or had a family member who was a victim.

Missing the emerging consensus: Three problems with the pre-Newtown polling

The Newtown shooting has changed Americans’ views on guns, but there is reason to suspect that support for action was stronger before Newtown than major polling outlets and the resulting media coverage suggested. Too much of the pre-Newtown polling suffered from three kinds of problems:

  • Over-reliance on broad, overall “climate” questions, with too few policy drilldowns
  • Over-reliance on outdated policy questions
  • Over-reliance on the outdated phrase “gun control”

Over-reliance on broad, overall “climate” questions

Some standard questions on views toward gun laws are overly broad and point to inconsistent conclusions.

One of the most consistent findings in gun polling is that support for “gun control” broadly is lower than support for specific tighter gun laws. One reason is the lack of specificity in broad “gun climate” questions. What do respondents think of when asked whether they support “gun control” or “stricter laws covering the sale of firearms”? Are they thinking about a ban on all guns, including hunting rifles? Are they thinking about preventing people accused of domestic violence from getting a gun at a gun show without a background check and then bringing that gun across state lines? We simply don’t know. This is not to say that a broad question on attitudes toward gun laws can’t be useful, but we should simply understand its limitations.

One challenge is interpreting the results in the current policy context. Even though polling outlets structure their broad climate questions differently, they consistently show support for some sort of restrictions on guns. The CNN/ORC poll shows that about three-fourths of Americans want to see at least minor restrictions on guns. (see Figure 4) And the three-pronged climate questions asked by most outlets consistently show hardly any support for making gun laws “less strict.” (see Figure 2) Yet before the Newtown shooting, the NRA, the American Legislative Exchange Council, and others were indeed fighting for less strict gun laws, inching us closer to the “no restrictions” end of the spectrum.

Furthermore, while it’s true that prior to Newtown support for stronger gun laws had declined from the 1990s, in all broad climate questions, support for specific policies remains high.

The table below shows the degree to which support for specific policies exceeds support for the generic notion of “stricter gun laws.”

Over-reliance on outdated policy questions

In 2008 the Supreme Court held in the landmark District of Columbia v. Heller case that the Second Amendment guaranteed an individual the right to own a handgun in their home for self-defense. The ruling made clear that this right was subject to reasonable regulation, but it also meant that a complete ban on handguns was off the table. In fact, long before the 2008 decision, no serious national politicians and very few local elected officials were advocating banning handguns. But that didn’t stop some polling outfits from asking questions about support for handgun bans.

Between the Columbine High School massacre in April 1999 and its most recent post-Newtown poll, Gallup asked Americans about support for a ban on handguns 13 times. Over that period support for such a policy dropped from 38 percent to a record-low 24 percent in December 2012. That drop in support preceded the landmark 2008 Supreme Court Heller decision but accelerated after the Supreme Court ruled that such a policy was constitutionally impermissible. Gallup kept asking this question even though no legislation to ban handguns was introduced in Congress—let alone debated—at any time during the period.

In the wake of Columbine and over the past 14 years, the policy perhaps most debated and prioritized by advocates for stronger gun laws is closing the loophole at gun shows or completely closing the private-party-sale background-check loophole. This policy was seriously debated in states—a number of which adopted this measure—and in Congress, where it was voted on in 1999 and 2004 and received more co-sponsors in recent years than any other gun-law-strengthening measure. But Gallup has asked about closing gun-sale background loopholes just three times since 1999: once two months before Columbine, when it received 83 percent support; once a few months after Columbine, when it received 87 percent support; and then again in December 2012, when support rose to 92 percent. This near-universal support for universal background checks is consistent with other public polls, as seen in Table 1.

Over-reliance on the outdated phrase “gun control”

Advocates for stronger gun laws have long abandoned the word “control.” No national group currently advocating for stronger gun laws currently uses the word. The group called Handgun Control changed its name to The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence more than a decade ago. And more recently the group Million Moms for Gun Control changed their name to Moms Demand Action. No poll commissioned by a gun-law group includes the word. Internal polling in 2011 for a group working for stronger gun laws showed “gun control groups” receiving weaker ratings than “gun violence prevention groups.”

“Control” has been dropped for a reason: It is aggressive rather than neutral. It sounds as if “control” alone is the objective, and it helps paint the incorrect picture of government “coming for” one’s guns. And you’d be hard pressed to think of another set of laws that uses the word. Despite all this, “control” remains in the common vernacular.

Looking at the exact question wording in every outlet’s version of the three-pronged broader climate gun question—should laws be made more strict, less strict, or kept the same—only CBS News/New York Times and the Los Angeles Times use the phrase “gun control” in the question. Other outlets use “sale of firearms” or similar wording. And the CBS News/New York Times and Los Angeles Times results consistently show lower “more strict” support than the other outlets. It’s certainly possible that there are house effects at work, in which the CBS News/New York Times and Los Angeles Times polling methodology are consistently and similarly different from the other outlets, but this pattern has been evident since 1999, the earliest year for which data are available for comparison.

Simply using the phrase “gun laws” or “stronger gun laws” is a neutral, appropriate phrase, and it should be part of all public polling and public discussion going forward.

In Pew’s question, respondents are asked, “Which is more important, to control gun ownership, or protect gun rights?”, as if controlling gun ownership is its own goal—as opposed to, quite obviously, reducing gun violence—in the way that protecting gun rights is its own goal. Even in this question, however, support for “controlling gun ownership” has stabilized in the last few years and—after Newtown—now exceeds support for protecting gun owners’ rights.

The real frame for a broader gun-climate question should ask respondents to choose between gun rights on the one hand and reducing gun violence on the other. Yet only internal polling for gun-law advocates has this frame in its wording.

Widespread, stable support for a common ground on guns

There is clear consensus around a variety of common-sense gun laws, as well as consensus around what limits are unacceptable. Congress is fighting over questions that are simply not controversial.

The common ground is centered on the following two ideas:

  • Responsible law-abiding Americans have a right to own guns.
  • Much more needs to be done to keep dangerous guns from dangerous people.

Pollsters have too often asked questions that present these two ideas as opposing; the vast majority of Americans view these concepts as consistent and complementary.

Americans overwhelmingly agree with the Supreme Court that the Second Amendment protects the rights of individual Americans to own a gun. While the wording varies slightly across outlets, the results are consistent. About three-fourths of voters feel the Constitution protects all—or most—Americans’ rights to own a gun, not just the rights of militias. And despite gun-lobby histrionics, there is no mandate in the public or among policymakers to “attack” the Second Amendment.

Americans also agree that much more ought to be done to keep dangerous guns from dangerous people. In July 2012 polling for Mayors Against Illegal Guns, Republican pollster Frank Luntz found that 87 percent of NRA members and 83 percent of non-NRA gun owners agree that, “Support for Second Amendment rights go hand-in-hand with keeping illegal guns out of the hands of criminals.” And in 2009 Luntz polling—also for Mayors Against Illegal Guns—found that 86 percent of NRA and 86 percent of non-NRA member gun owners agree with the following statement: “We can do more to stop criminals from getting guns while also protecting the rights of citizens to freely own them.”

The American voter’s penchant for balance and compromise extends to gun laws. Across lines of gun ownership, gender, and party, there is more support for some stronger laws than the status quo. Only a careful read of the polling identifies the fault lines that invariably exist, along with the common ground that also exists just as assuredly.
