Francistown — Director of Secondary Education, Shathiso Tambula says that Dukwi CJSS used an old blueprint that was released in 2004, instead of the working blueprint that was released in 2005 resulting in failure to publish the results of 10 refugee students.
He said the curriculum and secondary education departments release a blueprint of what is to be taught and offered and the minimum requirements. "The current blueprint was released in 2005 and what happened at Dukwi is that they used the blueprint that was released in 2004," he said. Ten refugee students from Dukwi JSS were not graded on their JC examinations after violating the nine-subject requirement.
All the students who were not graded are refugees who did not study Setswana.
"It should have been communicated. The 2005 blueprint was sent to all schools and if they had not received they should have enquired. Maybe it was just an oversight," he added.
He said that since the grading is done by computer, the situation could not have been avoided.
"The marking is done by computer and the computer will reject anything that does not meet the minimum requirements," he added.
Nevertheless, Tambula said that they have found a solution to the problem.
"We have decided that they be graded manually and the results be released and then we will see where the whole system went wrong," he stated.

Amnesty International 'fence' by Brothers and Sisters
Brothers and Sisters has created a series of street art for Amnesty International which appears invisible until it's viewed from a particular angle.
The campaign highlights the case of Troy Davis, a man who has been on death row for 19 years in the US, despite serious doubts about his conviction.
The posters are displayed on fence railings. From the front view, you see nothing but bars. Troy's face only becomes visible from an angle. A plaque on the fence directs passers-by to a site where they can sign a petition to stop Troy's execution.

One-on-one with UC San Diego's Sandra A. Brown
U-T profiles of notable local people
There's so much innovation happening in San Diego, including new ways to treat HIV/AIDS and Alzheimer's disease, as well as programs that offer free medical care to Tijuana's poor.
Encinitas resident Sandra A. Brown oversees many of those projects.
As the vice chancellor for research at UC San Diego, she helps scholars and scientists earn grants, set up their research and put those discoveries out in the real world.
Brown, who moved to San Diego in the 1980s to work at the university, discusses why science and research is good for San Diego.
Q: Why should the public be interested in the research happening at UC San Diego?
A: One of our missions is bringing inventions and discoveries to the public or, in the medical field, from laboratory "bench to bedside." Our science improves lives every day and helps the economy of our region: 156 active companies are spinoffs of UC San Diego, and we employ more than 18,000 people, for an economic benefit to San Diego of more than $20 billion.
Q: What are some examples of campus research programs that have benefited the community?
A: There are so many exciting areas of research that directly benefit San Diego, it is hard to know where to begin. ... Qualcomm Institute is perhaps the most cited example of university research helping to build an entire industry. Other examples would include our large, high-performance, outdoor Shake Table, which is doing the kind of structural engineering research that guides communities like our own that live with the potential threat of a major earthquake.
Q: Can you describe what it's like to be a researcher?
A: When you are excited about the research you conduct and know its potential to improve human lives, there is never a boring moment — many challenges and frustrations, but it is never boring.
Q: Are enough American students interested in science? Are you optimistic about the future of science and research?
A: Science, math and engineering are always interesting to young children if we engage them in meaningful and exciting ways. China now surpasses the U.S. in the number of science-related Ph.Ds; however, we will continue to be the world leaders in innovation in science. The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Education Coalition programs in elementary and high schools are crucial to Americans' place in the world and to solving the problems of both our nation and the world at large.
Q: Before becoming vice chancellor, you worked with substance-abuse issues — why was this your specialty?
A: Alcohol and drug abuse are top causes of preventable deaths. Science, and science-informed public policy, can change that and save lives. For example, knowing which types of therapies best help those with alcohol, drug and other mental health problems, and using that information during treatment, can improve lives, reduce society's overall health care spending, and save future generations the legal, medical and job problems alcohol and drug use produce today.
Q: Do you still do any work in that field?

more video from my underwater exploits ...
This time, Malta, June 2010, me and a friend go dive the P29 and the Rozi on twins+stage
Funniest announcement EVER about Apple products:
Steve's "Golden" and very helpful advise is:
"Just avoid holding it in that way."
Let's back up a bit here ... hold it that way?
Sink a few hundred in to a new toy, to find out you can't hold it in a regular and accepted way. A phone that can only be handled in a certain way? Have we gone foward or backwards here?
The official advice from Apple is to:
"avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band".
Another insightful response from Apple:
"Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas."
Gripping stuff, my iPhone 3G isn't as fickle about being touched, so this is due to the new antenna being on the outside, oh yeah and being on the bottom left!
I was going to buy one of these puppies. If the queues were not so long yesterday I'd probably have one here right now. Kind of relieved that I didn't. Apple seem to have teething trouble every time they release something new. All companies do I guess.
I'll most likely wait for Apple to revise the hardware and engineer out this flawed antenna as I'm always going to hold it "that way" since I'm left handed. Guess Steve wants us lefties to disappear or not buy his phones! Maybe he should get some lefties to join his test group so this kind of sillyness doesn't happen again ... I bet someone in the Apple engineering department has known about this since day 1 :-) Impossible to imagine that they don't.
Good luck Apple :-)
http://gizmodo.com/5571171/iphone-4-loses-reception-when-you-hold-it-by-the-antenna-band <--- this ones worth following as it is getting updated a fair bit
After what seems like an eternity, mostly likely just a decade, the top level xxx domain gets approved for use.
As usual, Slashdot has some withering, comical and amusing comments worthy of burning some time to read
One commentor points out that instead of trying to regulate the internet like this to protect our children (mines on the way, by the time he touches the net it'll be a different beast altogether I'm sure), instead create a .kids top level domain and ring-fence appropriately. Far more efficient way of going about it, and makes it a lot easier for parents to control (filter everything except .kids)
Wonder how long it'll take before the porno industry moves to .xxx, bet the take up is SLOOOOWwwww
Jeff Wettlaufer highlighted this video on how to integrate FEP 2010 in to ConfigMgr 2007, seems to have caused a bit of a stir at TechEd 2010 I believe, bit of a hot topic ...
Over on the The Configuration Manager Support Team Blog, there's write up on ConfigMgr Documentation topics that are currently in demand. The list is a bit empty right now, only refering to the Prerequisites, but a little birdy gave me a bigger list which can be shared.
This gives you an idea of what the entry-level, as well as well-oiled ConfigMgr administrators are looking at.
No surpise that PKI appears in the list, as people consider Native Mode for their existing or new implementations, nor that PXE for OS deployment, Installing ConfigMgr Sites servers and Client installation properties appear ...
My son at 27 wks :-)
Its truly amazing what technology can do with sound waves.
As you probably already know, ConfigMgr 2011 (v.Next) uses SQL Replication to pass data between sites ...
I've been troubleshooting SQL 2008 Replication, and found a few interesting links that might help grow out your skills in this area if you're not already above novice-level :-)
Here is SQL Server Replication exposed on MSDN in all its glory: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151198.aspx
Here are a collection of links on troubleshooting from MSDN:
Alexander Chigrik has a write up on SQL Replication troubleshooting ... http://www.databasejournal.com/sqletc/article.php/1468971/Troubleshooting-Replication-Problems.htm - Not sure how appropriate this to the way ConfigMgr expects SQL replication to be configured so be careful what you change, and only use this guide by Alexander to identify existing faults rather than using it to define a standard group of settings for SQL (read the article, you'll understand)
SCVMM 2008 R2 gets a rollup:
Incredible story behind a lost underwater camera, check it out here:
If I was the manufacturer of the camera housing I'd be using this in my marketing :-)
I stumbled in to this article by Jeroen Erkelens earlier. The reason I thought it'd be worth sharing is that I've come across this kind of solution in several companies, and managing an exit code harks back to the DOS days which has spawned several solutions all varying in degrees of elegence. Today we would use VBScript and massage the error return value to suit our needs.
Good job Jeroen in outlining your solution, very helpful diagrams included.
Now that v.Next Beta build 7469 has been made available, I thought I'd put this little lot together for you.
Installing ConfigMgr 2011 Beta Hierarchy
I make a few assumptions in this guide, that you've checked the Hardware Requirements and can easily meet them, with either a physical or virtual test environment, and that if you encounter any problems, you're savvy enough to be able to overcome them. Have a flip through the Release Notes, and with good ConfigMgr 2007 skills you should get by. The setup shouldn't challenge existing ConfigMgr administrators, beyond configuring SQL Ports and the Windows Firewall.
Now that the product is X64, you should be using an X64 OS, and install X64 prerequisites. The only X86 application that you might need, is Trace32.
The environment looks like this
Windows 2008 Domain Controller: Domain called LAB
I'll cover the following in a separate posting, or update this one:
If you wanted too, you could add another VM or two in for Remote SQL setup of the CAS and\or the Primary. Really is up to you how you set out the pieces, but for simplicity sake I've kept SQL local, and been cheeky with WSUS's use of the ConfigMgr 2011 SQL instance. Keep ConfigMgr 2011's SQL instance isolated in production.
To build the lab you'll need the following:
The OS's need all the same requirements as ConfigMgr 2007, with the obvious exception of X64, and the notable absence of WEBDAV.
You need to install:
Once all of your VM's are domain ready, maybe snapshot them, and start configuring for ConfigMgr 2011.
We're going for an almost bare minimum hierarchy configuration here, we just want the two sites talking.
For now we only need the SQL\SMS administrators and Site Server groups setup.
Put your domain administrator in the SQL and ConfigMgr groups, and then put the computer accounts of the CAS and Primary servers in the Site Servers group.
Remember to reboot the servers for their computer accounts to get updated with the new group memberships.
ConfigMgr 2011 uses the same A/D schema as ConfigMgr 2007, so you can follow these steps from ConfigMgr 2007 on how to extend the A/D using LDIF or a precompiled executable:
Same steps from ConfigMgr 2007 apply here, so follow this guide on how to create the container:
Remember to permission the System Management container with your Site server A/D group so that the Site servers can administer it. When permissions are applied, make sure Apply to is set to This object and all descendent objects so that ConfigMgr 2011 can create and delete objects in the container.
Now that's done, let's get SQL 2008 with SP1 installed. Remember, for Beta 1 we cannot use SQL 2008 R2, and we need to use a named instance
If you've isolated your test network from the internet, then SQL will warn about Microsoft .NET Application Security, and if you've not already configured the firewall you'll get a Windows Firewall warning. Both can be safely ignored for now as you'll take care of the Windows Firewall later on, and don't need internet access for SQL to operate.
For installation options, I chose the following:
· Database engine services
· SQL Server Replication
· Management Tools - Basic
Most notable parts of the installation where setting up the instance:
Note: Install SQL 2008 and setup a named instance, not a default instance, then use that named instance to install ConfigMgr 2011 into. In production do not share the instance with any other applications due to security.
I chose to run the Agent and Engine using the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account and for the Agent to start-up automatically:
I added the local administrator, and our A/D group for SQL administrators:
That was pretty much all that I needed to configure before starting the installation.
For SQL replication to work, we need to tweak the firewall, and I've included two quotes from the Release Notes on this topic:
Configuration Manager Setup Prerequisite Checker verifies that these exceptions are configured correctly when you install a central administration site or a primary site and Windows Firewall is enabled. However, by default, SQL Server named instances use dynamic ports, and you must manually reconfigure your named instance to use the static TCP port 1433. SQL Server named instances also require the SQL Server Browser Service, which uses both TCP and UDP port 1434. Unless restricted by non-default, the port 1434 is already configured in the Windows Firewall.
Replication between Configuration Manager sites requires that SQL Server is configured to use the static TCP port 1433. Additionally, SQL Server Service Broker requires the static TCP port 4022 to send and receive messages. For replication to be successful when Windows Firewall is enabled, there must be a firewall exception for one of the following:
Follow this link for info on configure the port for the SQL 2008 named instance
If you are having firewall issues, use the firewall logs to see if the ports are being blocked, or install the Telnet Client and use it to test the ports dynamically both ways from the CAS to Primary, Primary to CAS without having to restart the ConfigMgr 2011 wizard for a retry:
Worst case, If you can't nail it, I'd suggest turning the firewall off on the CAS and Primary to see if they were interfering with SQL communications.
Now we have SQL 2008 installed, lets ignore the warning that the ConfigMgr 2011 SQL instance should remain isolated, just this once, and drop WSUS in there. Obviously I wouldn't suggest this outside of development, instead you should choose to setup SQL 2008 Express Edition, or use a remote SQL installation. By all means install WSUS in to SQL 2008 Express.
If the lab has internet access, you can download the prerequisites during the installation wizard. Obtaining them for an isolated development environment requires Windows 7 or 2008 X64 editions with internet access, and an account with local administrator rights. To get the prerequisites downloaded you just need to obtain the installation media, open a CMD prompt, navigate to the SMSSETUP/BIN/X64 folder and run SETUP /DOWNLOAD <PATH>. Make sure the folder already exists, then you just need to store this lot with your installation kits.
Now, let's get on with creating a hierarchy.
Before you begin, make sure you are installing with a domain account, so that the A/D can be contacted during the installation process.
As you can see, we've got several changes on the splash screen, since this is Beta, most of this is just place-holding at present.
Nice warning about meeting the prerequisites for both hardware and software.
Hey look at that, the CAS waiting to be selected.
Ready up
Ok prerequisite time.
Here's a list of prerequisite files for ConfigMgr 2007 and 2011 so you can visually see the difference
Some notable additions being: SQL 2008 Express, Silverlight, .Net Framework 4.0, SQL Client
While you're waiting for the prerequisite checker to complete, you can see it in action via its own log on the System Drive. once done it's time to name and shame
Here, you need to name the SQL instance, and you see I've chosen VNEXT
Typical provider question
If the site can reach out to the internet, it will report back UX data
Choose your agents for the site (these are the defaults)
Summary and off we go
Yep we're ready to install. You need to make sure SQL and the Windows Firewall are setup AOK otherwise you're about to fail. If you're using a VM, snapshot now, so you can roll back on failure to this point and do away with the lengthy wait during the wizards initial setup.
Once the installation is underway you can watch the GUI, or check out the setup logs on the System Drive to monitor the sites installation progress. You'll find TRACE32.EXE in the TOOLS folder, register that then bring up the ConfigMgrSetup log.
In the log, you're looking for:
Installation and configuring site, or uninstallation are done INFOL CCAR installation is completed
In the wizard, you'll see
Get the wizard to launch the console for you before it finishes up, or launch it yourself
One you've checked over your Site Status, status messages and logs, and think the sites behaving with SQL and A/D, the firewalls setup correctly on both the CAS and the Primary, then it's time to get the Primary attached.
Create a standard address on the CAS to the Primary
We've been here
Name and shame
New dialog, for attaching to the CAS.
Enter the CAS NetBIOS name
We're going for Mixed Mode
We've seen this before
Pretty much soon after hitting the Begin Install button, you should see this appear in the ConfigMgrSetup log, indicating that the CAS is ready for the site attachment:
INFO: CAS: <SERVER> is ready to be attached by this site: <SERVER> from CAS: (null).
You can also check out the Replication Configuration Monitor log (rcmctrl) to watch SQL replication in action.
The whole replication initialisation process will take a very long time ...
That's pretty much it, you should be ready to play with the features now.
You'll all remember how sluggish the console experience could be, well that seems to be very much a thing of the past now. This new console is very fast, responsive.
Worth noting:
So, from here, read the Release notes, which contain heaps of info to help get you're evaluation environment up and running, and have a go at getting your lab setup so you can take a first glimpse at probably the best Systems Management product available. If you've used VM's and taken regular snapshots, you should be able to easily roll back and install Beta 2 when it arrives.
Interesting write up at the Configuration Manager Support Team Blog on a way to possibly speed up transfer of large packages out to your DP's.
Very handy
Yep we've got another virtual event for you to watch. This time Randy Roffey from Silect shows off MP Studio

The generation of tritium during the electrolysis of aqueous light water alkali carbonate (K2CO3 and Li2CO3) solutions by nickel cathodes, first reported by us at the International Conference on Cold Fusion-3 (Nagoya, Japan, October 1992) has once again been verified and confirmed. During 1993, 10 out of 23 cells, whose electrolytes were analyzed using a newly set up dedicated liquid scintillation counting unit, indicated low tritium levels in the electrolyte, in the range of 0.5 to 4.8 Bq/ml. Except one cell, which contained 25% D2O, the remaining nine cells, which produced tritium, were charged with natural light water solutions only. Two of these cells, which were monitored for tritium every few days, and excluding cell OM-3, which was set up in 1992, indicated tritium level variations in a sawtooth fashion, suggesting the possible presence of an as yet unidentified mechanism responsible for periodically removing tritium from the electrolyte.

`Diff'rent Strokes' star Gary Coleman dies
Some of the disputes involved his wife, Shannon Price, whom he met on the set of the 2006 comedy "Church Ball" and married in 2007.
In September 2008, a dustup with a fan at a Utah bowling alley led Coleman to plead no contest to disorderly conduct. The fan filed a lawsuit claiming that the actor punched him and ran into him with his truck; the suit was settled out of court.
In February - on his 42nd birthday - he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor criminal mischief charge related to an April 2009 domestic violence incident at his home.
Associated Press Writer Doug Alden, AP Entertainment Writer Sandy Cohen and AP Movie Writer Christy Lemire contributed to this story.

Why you joined advicenators?
Question Posted Monday August 20 2007, 8:33 pm
I know this isn't really asking for advice, but the last few days I was just thinking about this and wondering why the people here joined.
I guess it is just out of pure curiosity. I would have just posted this in the moderator forum or in the supporter discussion, but I'd rather see why everyone joined rather than just those who have been here for some time and such.
So, why did you join advicenators and why are you still here? What about the site made you want to stay?
I'll probably be one of the first people to answer this (I'm not going to answer it in the question).
Answer this question
Additional info, added Tuesday August 21 2007, 9:06 pm:
oh, and maybe how long you've been around. Whether a day, a week, a month, or years.
Oh, and I forgot to add to my answer that I got the link to the site from some girls AIM profile. She was sisters with this guy I used to be friends with.. weird how you come across things like that.
Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Advicenators?
answered Tuesday August 28 2007, 2:17 pm:
I've been here almost 3 years, and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon.
I saw a link in this guy's profile. About a month later I decided I wanted to one day be a psycologist, therefore, I joined. Though I still don't have the same dream it's pretty fun, and I've met some pretty cool people (you being one of them!) Furthermore, positive feedback makes you quite happy.
Also, whenever I have a problem, I go here. I generally don't like taking advice from people I know, so it's a relief that I can come here and ask anynomously.

I've been on this site for about 3 years. I either saw it on Bored.com or Spacefem.com, I really can't remember.
At first, I tried way too hard, then I went through kind of a harsh phase. I've seen the site change a lot, mostly good changes. I love this site for a lot of reasons. The people are great, and it's always changing. I also used to love the sense of community, although that's pretty much gone now. I'm on here because I don't know what to do without it, lol. Advicenators has really become a big part of my life. When I got banned from the site for a few days, it was really upsetting because I'm constantly on here.
Eventually, I'll leave, probably when I graduate and no longer have time, but this will always be one of my favorite places online.

I joined in June 2004, just over three years ago when I was 12, nearing 13 (sssh). I used to regularly visit a girl's website, it was one of those typical personal sites with graphics, blogs and 'reads' etc and there was also a link to her Advicenators column. I was bored so I signed up. My name was actually going to be 'rainbowcherries' but I accidentally missed off the 's', which is why my username is spelt wrong.
I thought I'd get bored pretty quickly but I started to really enjoy giving advice as well as getting it. I became a L1 moderator and it was my goal to be a L2. I rated and answered questions like crazy and got a good response from people who were surprised at the quality of my advice considering I was only 13. Exactly a year to the day after I first joined, I was made a L2.
I don't ask for alot of advice these days (save the odd computer problem) but I still love giving it and helping with the site. I've learnt a lot from the people at Advicenators, not just from being advised but through dealing with problems people have and learning skills I can use in 'real life'.

I am still here because of the people who have been extremely nice to me- like Jack, Laura 1, Laura 2, Kate:], erinn, mike, matt, ygsgirl, yg, amy, ashley, etc.

Well like YG I also stumbled across this site through bored.com. In November I will have been here for 3 years.
I remember thinking at the beginning that I would make an account just for a laugh. I figured that I would answer a few questions, particularly some of the really outrageous ones, and then be on my way after a few weeks.
It didn't take too long before I was checking my column daily. This site has a way of growing on you somehow. Also there are some pretty nice people on here, which also helps.

I've been on this site for a year & a half, but I've been on it since I was 13 with many previous accounts to which the names I do not remember.
I joined advicenators because I wanted to help people solve their problems, or just to help with anything. I knew that I could do that here. When I first joined at 13, I joined because the site fascinated me & I had never seen anything like it before. But I stayed because I was getting better at giving advice, and simply because I like it.
Although there's a lot of stupid questions on this site, it gives me a good laugh, and I like to help.

Hi S_C =]
I've been on this site for almost 2 years.
I first joined, because someone I know made an account and the site looked really cool.
I've always liked helping people, so I signed up right away.
I didn't think much of it at first, but then I asked a few questions, and began answering some as well. I found it so fun and rewarding when you know you've helped someone!
I left this site for about 7 months, I want to say? And then logged back in, just for the fun of it, and got hooked again.
Now I stay one for basically the sole purpose of helping and feeling like I'm doing something useful/rewarding with my spare time.
And of course, I love talking to my fellow advicenators, too =]
I will probably be on this site until I'm too old to get up and type...

Hi, Kate!
One day I was clicking around spacefem.com (or maybe it was Spacefem's LJ) and there was a link to this site, and for some reason I actually clicked it, and I saw questions that were really simple but didn't have any answers. I decided to answer them, and so I joined. I've realised that having an advice column actually suits me well, since I like to read, and on this site I can put the things that I learn to good use.
I've actually known about this site right from when it started, but I didn't join at first because I didn't think that I would have any advice to give. While this is only the 639th question that I've answered in the three years after I've joined the site (as you already know, my account turned three years old on the 7th), the 33 pages on my column clearly proved that wrong.

I've been around for about three years, and I honestly can't remember how I found Advicenators. I had previously participated on a sexual health advice site, and it went under. So....I came here.
Unlike other people, I feel very comfortable giving sexual health advice info to young people. I do think there is a shocking lack of places young people can go for accurate, non-judgmental information, and I am very happy to be a source of support for people.
This is very close to what I do 'in real life,' only a lot less demanding. I find it really enjoyable to come here, poke around the forums (if not ever actually type anything!), and answer some questions. There are a lot of terrific advice givers on this site, and I continue to be impressed by them!

I probably don't answer as many questions

I like to think I help make the upper level mods

I have made some very good friends through this site.
Met some great people of all ages.
I guess I am old enough to be awed

SC210--Week 1--Lecture notes
The Nature of Technology
Many people understand "technology" as the latest and greatest--computers, biotechnology, nanotechnology, space technology. They even think of old technology such as steam engines and water wheels as not really "technology." Volti is more inclusive. Technology, he says, is anything that helps us do things we could not otherwise do, or lets us do them cheaper, faster, easier. It covers computers and steam engines, hammers and axes, even fire and sharpened sticks and chipped stones. Some of it is old tech, some is new tech, and some is cutting-edge or even bleeding-edge tech. But it's all technology.
Does this definition refer only to tangible things? What else might it cover? What else "helps us do things we could not otherwise do, or lets us do them cheaper, faster, easier"?
Why do we pursue technology? Is necessity the mother of invention? Or laziness? Or challenge?
Note Volti's discussion of technology as a rational thing. In science and technology, truth is defined by demonstration. Skepticism is essential, and this principle sets these fields against all "received" wisdom or authority. Truth cannot be defined by fiat. Nor can it be defined by wish. That is, science and technology both deal with the world as it is, not the world as we would like it to be.
technology? Volti's definition emphasizes tools, techniques, organizations, systems that use "knowledge and organization to produce objects and techniques for the attainment of specific goals." Note that "techniques" can be both intangible and extraordinarily useful. Think of critical thinking and the scientific method, among others.
It is also worth considering the "specific goals" component of the definition in light of "the law of the hammer" (give a six-year-old a hammer, and everything looks like a nail). That is, technology can be over-applied.
And do goals really have that much to do with why we develop technologies? Or do we sometimes develop technology just because we think we can--it's a challenge, like climbing mountains. I have a feeling that even though the
Segway scooter
may be very useful, its development owed a lot to this challenge factor. In Ch. 3, Volti notes that even the most practical of inventions may be in its origin more closely connected to play than to 'productive' work.
Progress is another important component of technological development, which Volti assures us is an "inherently dynamic and cumulative process." Many question whether technological progress has kept in step with social progress, but they seem to ignore that social matters have progressed greatly in the spread of democracy and human rights and the change in the nature of religion, much over precisely the same period when technology has advanced so rapidly.
Science and technology can result in "disenchantment." People object to being told that cherished beliefs have no foundation in fact and that ghosts, fairies, and the like do not really exist. Is this relevant to the relationship of technology and society? Consider society's reaction to ideas such as evolution, genetic engineering, and cloning. Is the key element of sci-tech controversy religion? Tradition? Fear?
Technology is rational, and rationality, says Volti, can lead to "major moral and ethical transgressions." Is he right? A common example is the Nazi use of technology to solve the "Jewish problem." Given the problem, was there a less evil way to use technology? Did the transgression lie in the technology or in the idea that there was a problem? Do we, perhaps, have to find some way to be rational about human values?
The paper due next week requires that you read the introduction to the
Taking Sides
book, in which you will find a clue to how to show a red-green colorblind person that there is an actual, demonstrable difference between red and green. The assignment has much to do with the idea that in science and technology truth is defined by demonstration. Demonstration, of course, is at the heart of the scientific method--not just in the form of experimentation, but also in the crucial role in that method of communication (which helps others check one's work).
Questions for Discussion
1. What do you think of as "technology"?
2. Rationality, says Volti, can lead to "major moral and ethical transgressions," with a primary example being the Nazi use of technology to solve the "Jewish problem." Yet one can argue that the basic problem lay not in rationality but in the Nazi value system. How might one be "rational" about human values?
3. "How do we know what we know?" is an important philosophical question. Past answers have included "by senses and reason" and "by direct apprehension" (intuition, revelation). Two modern answers are "by Googling it" and "by Wiki-ing it." What are the strengths and weaknesses of each?
4. Is "Check it out" a reasonable summation of the scientific aproach? In what ways?

10 Organizations that Fight Global Hunger You Should Support
As my contribution to blog action day to raise awareness about poverty I present you a list of 10 organizations that fight global hunger you should support with money, by volunteering or simply by linking to them like I do.
We're not powerless, everybody who has access to the Web is part of a global elite. Most people do not even have access to clean water or electricity. Almost a billion people starve by now!
There are some radical measures needed to rescue and "bail out" the poor and I do not refer to bankers who lost their money at the Wall Street casino.
- CARE :: Defending Dignity, Fighting Poverty
- IFPRI – The International Food Policy Research Institute
- Network for Good
- ReliefWeb
- Global Hunger Alliance
- Kiva – Loans that change lives
- The Hunger Project: Empowering Women and Men to End Their Own Hunger
- Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
- Oxfam International
Do not ignore the poverty at home but do not forget that even the homeless in the West lead a life of luxury compared to most people who starve in the world and see their children dying.

Residents question sports park change
"We need to know that can't be the case," Spriggs said, adding the charge could essentially destroy a community tradition.
Councilman Robert Patton proposed having the city incur the $25 fee for a few years.
Wade said the idea was plausible and assured the public that no one would be turned away by an inability to pay.
Spriggs said there's a big perception gap that needs to be addressed before moving forward.
"There's this great, almost unanimous concern … that the very substitution of the YMCA for the city recreation department in managing those fields is going to undermine the sense of independence, engagement and participation of the leagues," he said.
Ultimately, council members agreed to hold a public workshop before approving the Y's proposal.
"Right now we don't have the funding for it and something has to be done," Councilman Brian Bilbray said. "We need someone who's going to come in and give the kids what they need."
Approximately $200,000 in operational and maintenance costs incurred by the city would be eliminated in an agreement with the Y.
YMCA Associate Executive Director Lisa Johnson said she feels stuck in the middle.
"We're very sensitive to the situation and it's really up the city to do the public outreach," Johnson said.
Johnson said after hearing comments from the public on Wednesday night she wanted to clear the air.
"There's been so much misinformation out there," she said. "We've never said to them (the leagues) we were not going to let them use those fields for whatever they needed. We can peacefully co-exist."
Johnson also offered a solution to those who couldn't afford the new charges.
"Should we go in there it would operate like any other Y," she said. "If they don't have the money, they can apply for scholarships. We try to minimize our expenses and therefore minimize what we charge people for programs."
A date for the forum will be set in the near future.

Washington, D.C.-- Service Employees International Union (SEIU) International President Mary Kay Henry released the following statement in support of Occupy Wall Street:
"The brave students, unemployed Americans, families and others Occupying Wall Street and financial centers across America have sounded the alarm and forced our nation to confront the hard truth. There's an economic emergency in America, and it's time for dramatic action to get our leaders to stand with the 99% instead of the 1%.
"The 2.1 million members of SEIU continue to stand with the Occupy protesters and we agree that try as some might, you can't evict an idea whose time has come.
"That's why on November 17th, SEIU members will be marching arm in arm with unemployed workers, community members, allied groups and Occupy protesters in support of a great American idea: our nation and our economy should work for everyone, not just the richest 1%.
"These actions are part of a National Day of Action for the 99% protesting the failure of politicians in Congress to pass a jobs bill that would have put people back to work fixing thousands of bridges, roads and schools. These crumbling bridges and roads and decaying schools are symbols of our leaders' failure to fix the economy so that it works for everyone, not just the richest 1%.
"Three years after Wall Street wrecked our economy, 25 million people are still unable to find full-time work and the gap between the 1% and the 99% continues to grow. Big banks continue to punish regular Americans with their predatory business practices and destroy millions of jobs. Instead of creating jobs, right-wing politicians in Congress continue to ignore the concerns of the 99% and focus on job-killing budget cuts and more tax giveaways for the 1%.
"This movement of the 99% is only beginning. We will not rest until we win an America where everyone has access to a good job, we protect healthcare and other critical services, the 1% pay their fair share, and we level the playing field by ensuring that every immigrant has a path to citizenship."
With 2.1 million members in Canada, the United States and Puerto Rico, SEIU is the fastest-growing union in the Americas. Focused on uniting workers in healthcare, public services and property services, SEIU members are winning better wages, healthcare and more secure jobs for our communities, while uniting their strength with their counterparts around the world to help ensure that workers--not just corporations and CEOs--benefit from today's global economy. www.seiu.org

There's just one caveat to this post…don't try to overdo these 5 things that have been scientifically proven to make you sexier. What do I mean by this? For example, the first thing on the list is being funny. Being funny makes you sexier. However, that doesn't give you license to try and crack as many jokes as possible no matter the context. If you do that, you're an obnoxious jackass instead of a funny guy that everyone finds sexy.
Just be wary while reading this list and try not to change yourself entirely.
That said, let's found out what the 5 THING SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO MAKE YOU SEXIER are.
1. BE FUNNY (because funny people are smarter and better lovers than unfunny people)
Gil Greengross and Geoffrey Miller found in a sample of 400 university students that general intelligence and verbal intelligence both predicted humor production ability (writing captions for cartoons), which in turn predicted lifetime number of sexual partners (a proxy of reproductive success). They found, however, that males showed higher average levels of humor production ability, which is consistent with the sexual selection perspective. From these results,Greengross argues that a sense of humor evolved at least partly through sexual selection as an intelligence indicator.
So in other words, men and women both like a partner that can make them laugh. That really shouldn't come as a surprise since if your partner doesn't make you laugh, then that's really freaking boring.
What the hell does that mean? Does this mean sex appeal is just a dang popularity contest? NO!
In Nicholas Boothman's How To Make Someone Fall in Love With You in 90 Seconds or Less, he explains, "Dr. Aron affirmed that the subjects' expectation that the other person was going to like them had a huge effect. "If you ask people about their experience of falling in love, over 90 percent will say that a major factor was discovering that the other person liked them," according to Dr. Aron."
Now I know a lot of you people are too afraid of rejection to even bother letting someone know you like them, but being liked is a huge compliment, a sort of awkward one but a huge compliment nonetheless. It gives that person confidence, which makes them feel sexier. You just better hope they put this new found confidence into locking you down.
You go on a date with a hot chick. What do you talk about? Do you talk about the TV you watched last night? The pizza you order last night? How hard it is to find underwear that isn't skidmarked?
You see, conversation can really have a profound effect on your sex appeal if you let it. Instead of talking about something superficial, open yourself up! Talk about hopes and dreams, adventures and disappointments, fears and insecurities. Conversation is not just the time you kill before sex. It's about building intimacy and a connection. That's why you need to show a little vulnerability through conversation.
According to author Ori Braffman, "The intensity of the dialogue partners' bond at the end of the forty-five-minute vulnerability interaction was rated as closer than the closest relationship in the lives of 30 percent of similar students. In other words, the instant connections were more powerful than many long-term, even lifelong relationships."
What you say matters. So try saying real stuff and that make you vulnerable and invite your date to connect with you. You'll be totally sexy if you do.
Sorry about the cliché but personality controls your sex appeal.
But at least now you know that agreeable, conscientious people make better spouses and parents — but disagreeable, non-conscientious people have more sex partners. The former invest in quality, and it seems like the latter make up the difference in, well, volume.
So in essence, if you want to try to fuck lots of people, you can start by fucking a lot of people with your disagreeable, non-conscientious attitude.
According to Mating Intelligence Unleashed: The Role of the Mind in Sex, Dating, and Love, "Nettle and Clegg reported that in a sample of 545 people, men (but not women) with low levels of agreeableness and conscientiousness tended to have a higher number of sexual partners. It has also been found cross-culturally, across 10 world regions, that low levels of agreeableness and conscientiousness are related to higher levels of sexual promiscuity and relationship infidelity, so there may be reproductive benefits to those on the low end of these traits."
Truth is, people don't fall in love with people. We fall in love with the way that person makes us feel. Isn't that delightfully selfish? Humans, what a nice bunch of pricks.
To prove this statement, we need only to look at concept of emotional contagion: We're bad at telling what made us feel a certain way, but good about making associations.
Feeling excited, stimulated, and aroused is often associated with the people around us, even if they're not the cause.
This can be taken to extremes: having someone try to kill you can actually make you more attracted to them.
Those in the high-fear condition did show, for example, significantly more desire to kiss my confederate (one of the key questions) and wrote more romantic and sexual content into their stories. Looking at the details of these results, I found that the situation had generated, quite specifically, romantic attraction. [The Heart of Social Psychology: A Backstage View of a Passionate Science]
So just to review…
- Be funny
- Have someone in your life that has a crush on you
- Say insightful things
- Be a dick to everyone / Be nice to everyone (depending what you want)
- Get hooked on the feeling

Witchsorrow - God Curse Us ...
One thing I have come across this year more so than in the past is albums that seem to start with the worst track. This album does that too, 'Aurora Atra' is an average track by Witchsorrow standards compared with what else is on the album and it has a stock-standard dull doom riff which doesn't exactly give out much hope for the rest of the record. It is typical Reverend Bizarre meets early Cathedral worship but as the album plays on, it soon gets better. In fact the entire remainder of the album is very good. From the title track through to the closing 'Den of Serpents' Witchsorrow deliver a dark, crushingly heavy traditional doom album that is surprisingly catchy despite its plodding, slightly repetitive concepts. The vocals are also in the Reverend Bizarre vein with hints of Lee Dorrian and are not really exciting but they fit the music perfectly. The band play with a great deal of passion and you can hear that these guys + one girl love their doom metal. There is a certain spark within the songs that tells the listener, they enjoy what they are doing and that is great to hear from any band.
Every song on 'God Curse Us' has at least one passage where you think...f@#k this is heavy. The monolithic crawl they unleashed is hypnotic at times but again, and I hate to say this again and again, but you can trace every moment back to another song from another band. They did this on their début album too so two albums in a row of paying homage to the same classic doom bands can seem like overkill after a while. There is not much you can say about this album except if you like who they are influenced by and have no problem with hearing a band basically doing the same thing, then you should love this. For the more picky listener, it might seem a bit too much like a tribute album to the doom greats. There are killer riffs however and the analog production is top class, just turn your mind away from the non-originality and you will get some mileage out of this album from Witchsorrow. ....8/10.
PS: If this band was original, they would be close to the greatest doom band on the planet. I hope they can find their own identity with their next release.

This article will detail a method by which you can have Orchestrator build you a VM in Virtual Machine Manager by transferring a Service Manager Incident into a Support Group. With slight modification, this process can also work from Service Manager Change Management requests or Service requests. I will detail that when we get to that point.
In order to complete this runbook, you will need the "SC 2012 Service Manager" and "SC 2012 Virtual Machine Manager" integration packs for Orchestrator. Both of these can be downloaded here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh830706.aspx.
Here is an overview of our runbook:
This runbook will execute on a set schedule. It will pull all incidents assigned to a particular support group and create the VM from a specified template. Finally, if the VM was created successfully, it will resolve the incident. If the VM was not successfully created, it will transfer the incident to another support group. This will prevent Orchestrator from continually attempting to create the VM.
Monitor Date/Time
This activity allows us to execute this runbook on a schedule. To add this activity, drag it into your runbook from the "Scheduling" node. Double click it, and define the properties as you wish. I have mine set to execute every 5 minutes.
Get Incidents
This step connects to your Service Manager environment and pulls any incidents assigned to a particular support group. You can make Orchestrator pull incidents on any value, though support group is probably easiest. If you need Orchestrator to do something with an incident, you simply transfer it to Orchestrator's support group.
To do this, I set up an "Orchestrator" support group in the Service Manager console. This is done by modifying the "Support Group" list. If you have multiple runbooks executing tasks for Service Manager, then you may want to label your support group something like "Orchestrator – VMM", that way you can target your runbooks appropriately.
To add "Get Incidents", drag a "Get Object" activity from the Service Manager node of Orchestrator into your runbook. Double-click it and select your connection. Change the "Class" to "Incident". Next, add the "Support Group" filter and make the value equal "Orchestrator" (or "Orchestrator – VMM" if that is what you named your support group). Now Orchestrator will only pick up incidents that are assigned to its support group.
This is where we can modify the process if you would rather use a change management or service request. Service request also has the support group option, so I would use that, just as we do for incidents. Instead of selecting the "Incident" class, select the "Service Request" class.
If you want to do it from Change Management, the process is a little more complicated. I would do it by creating a new template just for VM requests. I would then add a value to the "Change Area" list that is something like "New Virtual Machine". I would then have a workflow that assigns the template for VM's to any request that is for that "Change Area". In the template, define whatever approval method you need when someone requests a new VM. Now, in Orchestrator, we have our "Get Object" activity look for completed change management requests with an area of "New Virtual Machine".
With this process, once the request goes through the change management procedure, Orchestrator will pick it up and create the VM.
Create VM from Template
Now we have the step that actually creates the VM. Drag a "Create VM from Template" activity into your runbook. Double-click it and select your connection. A few properties automatically show up. You need fill in all of these properties so that the VM is generated properly. Most of these settings will depend on your environment. The only one that doesn't is "VM Name". For this step, I would create a field on my Service Manager web portal that says "VM Name" and have it map to a property in the Service Manager incident. The "Get Object" activity gets all of the information about the incident and stores it in Published Data. To populate the "VM Name" field for our "Create VM from Template" activity, all we need to do is add the correct "Published Data" from "Get Incident". I personally like the "Description" field, but you can use whichever field you want.
I would encourage you to look at the "Optional Properties" and see you need any of those specified as well. I have most of that information stored in my template.
Resolve Incident
This step will execute if the VM was successfully created. For this activity, we need the "Update Object" activity from the Service Manager node. Double-click it to open it. Select your connection and class. For "Object GUID", add the Published Data "SC Object Guid from Get Incidents". The "Get Object" activity pulls the GUID of the incident, which is what we need to resolve it. Finally, click the "Select optional fields" button and add the "Status" field. Change it to "Resolved".
Transfer Incident
Finally, this step will transfer the incident to another support group if the VM failed to create. I do this so that Orchestrator does not continue to try and create the VM after it has failed once. To set up this activity, drag another "Update Object" activity into your runbook. Set it up just like the previous example, only add the "Support Group" field and change it to your failed support group (something like "Orchestrator Failures").
This is another example of how you integrate multiple System Center products to streamline your environment. I encourage you to look for other ways to leverage Orchestrator and Service Manager to help automate tasks in your organization.

The Bachelorette
Ali Fedotowsky's Bachelorette Blog: Emily's Passion With Arie Reminds Me of Roberto
Bachelorettes Ali Fedotowsky and Ashley Hebert both made note of Emily Maynard saying she couldn't watch as wee bachelor Jef Holm competed in the Highland Games on The Bachelorette Season 8, Episode 6.
Season 7's Ashley tweeted, "Notice how Emily said she couldn't watch before Jef went?? *sign* I couldn't watch JP fight in Thailand!!"
In her San Francisco Chronicle blog, Ali wrote about the Emily/Jef dynamic, comparing it to her own Season 6 experience.
"I didn't think Emily was super into Jef last week, but now she is saying that she didn't want to watch Jef with one F compete and I am guessing that is because she was scared he would get hurt," Ali writes. "This is exactly how I felt when Roberto olive oil wrestled in Turkey. I was terrified that he would get hurt and couldn't watch. Wondering if she said that because she has the strongest feelings for him? Who knows, maybe I am wrong and she will end up with him. I just have such a hard time wrapping my head around a relationship moving slowly in Bachelorette land. There isn't any time for it to move slowly. I guess they could get engaged (because that's what people do on this show), but I think that their real relationship will develop (like most couples on this show) after the cameras stop rolling. We shall see."
Ali made another Roberto comparison, in a very different way, with Emily's race car hottie, Arie Luyendyk, Jr.:
"The kiss with Emily and Arie was HOT!!! Her relationship with him reminds me of mine with Roberto in terms of passion. Her relationship with Jef reminds me of my relationship with Frank on my season. Does this mean her season will turn out similarly? No. I'm just commenting on what I am seeing. I can't get into all the reasons why I feel this way because a lot of the reasons are private. Yes, some things on 'The Bachelorette' can be private, believe it or not. Ha! But I just wanted to point out that I feel this way."
Interesting. Let's hope Jef doesn't have a girlfriend back home like Frank Neuschaefer. Ali is staying strong with her top three pics of Arie, Jef and Sean Lowe, despite Sean not doing much but looking hot and muscular in a kilt (that's enough) — but, despite the passion, she's removing Arie from the picture.
"Not just because of the previews, but I just don't think she will think he is ready for a child. That leaves Jef and Sean. This week, my vote goes to Jef with one F. I may never make up my mind, but that is where all signs are pointing right now. Next week, I'm going to say Alejandro returns and she gives him the final rose. HA!"
Our money's still on Dolly Parton.
