Learning Suite Issue

When I show the schedule for the class I'm teaching now (spring 2018) I 'm missing the first day (May 1)

However if I got to student view, it shows just fine.

​In order to give parking privileges, we need the date that the guest will be here. Unfortunately, as we did not have that date, we were unable to grant parking privileges until now, and the vehicle has already received a citation. If you would like to discuss that citation with the Appeals Desk, please call them at (801)-422-7445. 

Thanks,

Continued Red Hat Subscription problems

I tried the steps recommended but it seems to have had the same result.  Because it seems to be saying that it is successfully subscribing but then not actually being attached to a subscription, I'm going to work this through the Red Hat Support channel.

Thanks for your help so far...

Here's an image of the process.

Troubles setting up Redhat Subscription for RHEL 7.3

Here is the email from my support call with Red Hat.

"Greetings Gove!

Thank you for contacting Red Hat Support.

Over the phone, we discussed your concern with not being able to subscribe your server with a subscription. If I may have misunderstood or left any details out, please feel free to update the case with any clarifying points missed. I will be assisting in transitioning this case over to our engineers.

In the meantime, we spoke about making sure to get permissions to manage subscriptions checked off on your user. This may what could be interfering with trying to subscribe the server. Once you have the permissions to manage subscriptions turned on, try registering and subscribing again.

  #subscription-manager unregister
  #subscription-manager clean
  #subscription-manager register --auto-attach

Should you continue to have issues, we request that you generate and provide the SOSreport from the server along with any error outputs you are receiving. This information is important to our engineers to become more familiar with your system and be better prepared in troubleshooting with you. Below I have provided an article as a reference to gathering that information.

-What is a sosreport and how to create one in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6 and later?
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3592

Once an engineer is allocated to your case, we request that you provide them with some time to review it and they will update you with possible troubleshooting steps as soon as they are able.

Should you run into any more issues or have any more questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us by updating the case as it is the most efficient way of contacting an engineer allocated to the case.

Thank you for your patience and your support!

As requested, here is some output from the process of trying to register (which seems to work fine) and subscript (which is where the trouble is).

I run

# subscription-manager register

With no trouble.  However,

# subscription-manager attach --auto

Does not attach a subscription to the registration here is the output:

At this point, here is what the sever looks like at access.redhat.com:

It is possible to click on the "Attach a subscription" button on the website and it seems to attach the subscription as seen here:

But as you can see, it still indicates that the "system is not properly subscribed."

And you can see that in the message when I try to execute "yum update"

The Red Hat support guy to whom I spoke believes that my account does not have sufficient privileges to subscribe.  He said that my account (gallen2.byu.edu) did not have the "Manage Subscriptions" box checked and thought that if it did, the problem would go away.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

Talk on the 17th Amendment

• We all know about the basic checks and balances on federal power
• Three branches of government
• each exerting some measure of control on the other two
• However, at the founding of our nation, there was an importation 4th check of federal power
• This check was removed by the ratification of the 17th amendment
• Prior to the 17th amendment, senators were selected by state legislatures
• Amending the constitution is a serious undertaking
• American's have historically been very hesitant to amend the constitution
• Have never done it for light or transitory reasons
• What was the problem America was trying to solve with the 17th amendment?
• The two problems
• Vacancies in the senate 
• When state legislatures could not agree on who should be the senator, they often sent no one
• Prior to the passing of the 17th amendment, the worst period of vacancy in the senate saw more than 30% of the senate's seats vacant for extended periods
• Corruption among senators
• By 1900, the senate was seen as a very corrupt body
• We hoped that if senators answered to people through direct election, this corruption would abate.
• So in 1913, we got the 17th amendment.  What was the result?
• The truth is that we had a run-in with the law of unintended consequence
• Did it fix the vacancy problem?  
• Absolutely
• In the case of a vacancy, the Governor just appoints someone
• Did it fix the corruption problem?
• Not a chance.
• Three times as many of senator were convicted of corruption in 20th than the 19th
• The 17th amendment introduced a new kind of corruption
• Best demonstrated when the FBI caught Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich attempting to sell the senate seat vacated when Barack Obama was elected president.
• This kind of corruption was simply not possible prior to the ratification of the 17th
• But there was an even bigger unintended consequence
• Our fed. gov't was conceived  in 1787 when delegates of the 13 original states drafted constitution.  
• Two years later it was ratified after an intense public debate
• The primary point of contention was that that the new government took too much power from the states.
• The public discussion on states rights versus federal power continues to this day
• Most recently here in Utah, the federal government has appropriated more than a million acres of state lands without our consent and over the objections of our elected leadership
• When states selected senators, the states had a say in federal matters
• In fact, no laws could be passed without the approval of most of the state's representatives in the senate.
• When senators answered to the states, they protected state sovereignty and helped keep the federal government small.
• Senators who acted to grow the fed gov't would not long remain senators
• When senators began answering to the people, this dynamic changed dramatically
• Now, as Senators compete to bring their constituents larger and larger pieces of federal pie, the federal pie grows.
• And the federal government takes a more direct role in Americans' lives.
• To grasp the extent to which the states have been excluded from federal matters,  one need look no further than the Affordable Care Act.  
• Many states have serious concerns over the implementation of this law
• Because states have no representation in the federal government, they are seeking redress through the courts. 
• Today, most states have sued the federal government over the ACA because they have no voice.

• For more than a century, state oversight  helped keep the federal government small
• In 1913 the federal gov't spent just 3% of Gross Domestic Product
• For every $100 earned in America, the federal government spent just $3
• Since state oversight of  the federal government was removed, it has grown to 12 times that size
• spending more than 36% of the GDP
• Our founders sought to create a limited central government 
• Bound down by the chains of the constitution
• With ratification of the 17th amendment, one of those very important chains has been cut
