CiscoWorks LMS Data base

Unanswered Question
Nov 12th, 2007

For more than ones I had the following problem:

When I installed the CommonServices if the LMS 2.6 I want to continue to install the CampusManager and other compenents it can't continue as the service of the CW doaemon won't to stop.

I that case I changed the service to manual start up.

After completing the installation, the C lost the connecton with the licensing server?? and any compenent won't to run unless all services are running??

Is it due that what I did? Do I can do that in a another manner to stop the service to let the other compenents to be installed?

I have this problem too.

Sometimes you need to set CiscoWorks Daemon Management to Manual, then reboot to install updates. Provided you set the service back to Automatic, then reboot again, everything should come back up. Note: do NOT change any of the other services' startup parameters as this will break LMS.

omar.elmohri Mon, 11/12/2007 - 12:54

That's OK

Butnow my problem is that I uninstalled all CiscoWorks, and I installed it back again and the problem still the same?

Joe Clarke Mon, 11/12/2007 - 13:04

Shutdown CiscoWorks, then post the output of netstat -a -n -o -b.

omar.elmohri Wed, 11/14/2007 - 06:41

I reinstalled all LMS. But the problem still the same.

On the process I see that the DCAServer Never started unless all services are running.

That can be caused by Windows? I have a Windows 2003 R2.

Other processes like ANIServer and others are also down.

Any explain??

Joe Clarke Wed, 11/14/2007 - 08:50

Not without more information. You will need to enable DCR debugging, but in LMS 2.6, this is not a straightforward process. Therefore, I recommend you open a TAC service request so that they can guide you through this.

omar.elmohri Wed, 11/14/2007 - 10:34

Is that problem still unless I reinstall Windows? because that's what I did.

I installed Windows, next the CommonServices. just before I tried to see, and I found that problem. and I installed before this copie of LMS, so there isn't a problem with the media.

I need to have a license to open a TAC service, and I'm using now an evaluation.

Joe Clarke Wed, 11/14/2007 - 10:53

Unfortunately, without a debug log, I cannot say exactly what the problem is. This may be database related, hostname related, certificate related, or something else. Please post screenshots of all of your services in the Services control panel as well as the output of pdshow.

omar.elmohri Thu, 11/15/2007 - 05:00

do there is somethings to avoid during installation or before installing, because the problem apears at my first installation. unless the same disk I used it before form many installations.

Joe Clarke Thu, 11/15/2007 - 08:14

The only thing I recommend doing prior to a Windows installation is to disable anti virus software, and if this is Windows 2003, set the TEMP and TMP environment variables to something short like C:\WINDOWS\TEMP.

omar.elmohri Tue, 11/20/2007 - 10:59

When doing a self-test, the faild and announces that there is an nslookup failure

Joe Clarke Tue, 11/20/2007 - 11:02

what is the specific failure message? It could be you lack a proper resolver configuration, or it could just be safe to ignore.

omar.elmohri Tue, 11/20/2007 - 13:07

On the server, DNS is OK, and the server is not a domain memeber, and I don't think that it needs to be.

If there is some specific DNS configuration for LMS?

Joe Clarke Tue, 11/20/2007 - 15:25

You need to make sure the server's short hostname and fully qualified hostname are resolvable as well as the server's IP address, localhost and

These IPs and hostnames can be resolvable either via DNS or by local hosts file.

omar.elmohri Sun, 11/25/2007 - 03:14

I can access the localhost and also the

but I cannot access using

There is no problem when I access the web server of LMS. But it cannot syncronize with the DCR and licensing server also. so the CampusManager don't work.

Joe Clarke Sun, 11/25/2007 - 11:15

If doesn't work, you will need to fix the IP configuration on your server. The loopback interface and must be bound.

Franchise Tax Board v. USPS

  • Case

U.S. Supreme Court

Franchise Tax Board v. USPS, 467 U.S. 512 (1984)

Franchise Tax Board of California v.

United States Postal Service

No. 83-372

Argued April 17, 1984

Decided June 11, 1984

467 U.S. 512

After determining that four employees of appellee United States Postal Service were delinquent in their payment of state income taxes, appellant Franchise Tax Board of California served process on appellee ordering it to withhold the delinquent amounts from the employees' wages pursuant to a provision of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. When appellee refused to comply, appellant filed an action in Federal District Court, alleging that appellee was liable under the Code for failing to honor the orders. The District Court entered summary judgment for appellee, holding that 5 U.S.C. § 5517, which authorized the agreement that California and the United States had made regarding the withholding of state income taxes from federal employees' pay applied only to withholding of anticipated tax liabilities, and not to delinquent liabilities. The Court of Appeals affirmed, rejecting appellant's argument that 39 U.S.C. § 401(1), which provides that appellee may "sue and be sued in its official name," had waived any sovereign immunity that appellee might possess.

Held: When administrative process of the type employed by appellant issues against appellee, it has been "sued" within the meaning of § 401(1), and must respond to that process. Pp. 467 U. S. 516-525.

(a) Not only must this Court liberally construe the sue-and-be-sued clause of § 401(1), but it also must presume that appellee's liability is the same as that of any other business. FHA v. Burr, 309 U. S. 242. No showing has been made to overcome that presumption. Since an order to withhold cannot issue unless appellee owes the employee wages, appellee is nothing but a stakeholder; the order has the same effect on its ability to operate efficiently as it does that of any other employer subject to the California statute. Pp. 467 U. S. 516-521.

(b) It would be illogical to conclude that Congress differentiated between process issued by an administrative agency such as appellant and that of a court, for even if a court issued the order to withhold, neither appellee nor its employees would be in a materially different position. In operation and effect, appellant's orders to withhold are identical to a court judgment, since they give rise to a binding obligation to pay the

Page 467 U. S. 513

assessed amounts. Neither appellee nor its employees would obtain any additional protections from a requirement that such orders be issued by a court, since the liability cannot be contested until after the tax has been paid and a refund action brought. Moreover, to construe § 401(1) to require the issuance of judicial process before appellee need honor an order to withhold would create unwarranted disruption of the State's delinquent tax collection process, while simultaneously depriving the orders of some of their efficacy. Pp. 467 U. S. 521-525.

698 F.2d 1029, reversed and remanded. STEVENS, J., delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court.

Reno v. Bossier Parish School Bd.
520 U.S. 471 (1997)

Annotate this Case
  • Syllabus  |
  • Case

No. 95-1455. Argued December 9, 1996-Decided May 12, 1997*

Appellee Bossier Parish School Board (Board) is subject to the preclearance requirements of § 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (Act) and must therefore obtain the approval of either the United States Attorney General or the United States District Court for the District of Columbia before implementing any changes to a voting "qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure." Based on the 1990 census, the Board redrew its 12 single-member districts, adopting the redistricting plan that the Attorney General had recently pre cleared for use in elections of the parish's primary governing body (the Jury plan). In doing so, the Board rejected a plan proposed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), which would have created two majority-black districts. The Attorney General objected to preclearance, finding that the NAACP plan, which had not been available when the Jury plan was originally approved, demonstrated that black residents were sufficiently numerous and geographically compact to constitute a majority in two districts; that, compared with this alternative, the Board's plan unnecessarily limited the opportunity for minority voters to elect their candidates of choice and thereby diluted their voting strength in violation of § 2 of the Act; and that the Attorney General must withhold preclearance where necessary to prevent a clear § 2 violation. The Board then filed this action with the District Court, and appellant Price and others intervened as defendants. A three-judge panel granted the preclearance request, rejecting appellants' contention that a voting change's failure to satisfy § 2 constituted an independent reason to deny preclearance under § 5 and their related argument that a court must still consider evidence of a § 2 violation as evidence of discriminatory purpose under § 5.

1. Preclearance under § 5 may not be denied solely on the basis that a covered jurisdiction's new voting "standard, practice, or procedure" violates § 2. This Court has consistently understood § 5 and § 2 to com-

*Together with No. 95-1508, Price et al. v. Bossier Parish School Board et al., also on appeal from the same court.

bat different evils and, accordingly, to impose very different duties upon the States. See Holder v. Hall, 512 U. S. 874, 883 (plurality opinion). Section 5 freezes election procedures in a covered jurisdiction until that jurisdiction proves that its proposed changes do not have the purpose, and will not have the effect, of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race. See Beer v. United States, 425 U. S. 130, 140. It is designed to combat only those effects that are retrogressive. Retrogression, by definition, requires a comparison of a jurisdiction's new voting plan with its existing plan, see Holder, supra, at 883 (plurality opinion), and necessarily implies that the jurisdiction's existing plan is the benchmark against which the "effect" of voting changes is measured. Section 2, on the other hand, applies in all jurisdictions and uses as its benchmark for comparison in vote dilution claims a hypothetical, undiluted plan. Making compliance with § 5 contingent upon compliance with § 2, as appellants urge, would, for all intents and purposes, replace the standards for § 5 with those for § 2, thus contradicting more than 20 years of precedent interpreting § 5. See, e. g., Beer, supra. Appellants' contentions that their reading of § 5 is supported by the Beer decision, by the Attorney General's regulations, and by public policy considerations are rejected. Pp. 476-485.

2. Evidence showing that a jurisdiction's redistricting plan dilutes minorities' voting power may be relevant to establish a jurisdiction's "intent to retrogress" under § 5, so there is no need to decide today whether such evidence is relevant to establish other types of discriminatory intent or whether § 5's purpose inquiry ever extends beyond the search for retrogressive intent. Because this Court cannot say with confidence that the District Court considered the evidence proffered to show that the Board's reapportionment plan was dilutive, this aspect of that court's holding must be vacated. Pp. 486-490.

(a) Section 2 evidence may be "relevant" within the meaning of Federal Rule of Evidence 401, for the fact that a plan has a dilutive impact makes it "more probable" that the jurisdiction adopting that plan acted with an intent to retrogress than "it would be without the evidence." This does not, of course, mean that evidence of a plan's dilutive impact is dispositive of the § 5 purpose inquiry. Indeed, if it were, § 2 would be effectively incorporated into § 5, a result this Court finds unsatisfactory. In conducting their inquiry into a jurisdiction's motivation in enacting voting changes, courts should look for guidance to Arlington Heights v. Metropolitan Housing Development Corp., 429 U. S. 252, which sets forth a framework for examining discriminatory purpose. pp.486-489.

(b) This Court is unable to determine whether the District Court deemed irrelevant all evidence of the dilutive impact of the redistricting

During the event, we established – as a surprise – an online duplex with Design Jam Barcelona, having a nice discussion with Alina Mierlus.

Several impressions about Design Jam Iasi #1 (in random order):

  • Cristi Bârlădeanu

    “The word of the day for Design Jam Iasi was for sure “inspiration”. The mix’n’match of ideas coming from people with different background and complimentary perspectives on what design and UX should be modeled like laid a rock-solid foundation for creativity and innovation. That’s how we got a robot, augmented reality and paper tablets as solutions for the same challenge 🙂 A big thumbs up for the local champions and congratulations for all the attendees, looking forward to see the same enthusiasm and passion brought together to Design Jam Iasi #2!”

  • Marius Ursache

    “Great fun and great ideas at Mozilla DesignJam Iasi #djiasi. Looking forward for the next edition!”

  • Silviu Savin

    “I was honored to mentor @designjamiasi /If you missed #1, you should come to #2. #djiasi was inspiring, fun, a great experience. Congrats!”

  • Andreea Buraga

    “Design Jam supported by Mozilla Labs was a cool initiative and I encourage all the design enthusiasts to sign up in the future because it is a great learning and idea-generating experience in a relaxed and fun manner. I was impressed with the creative and innovative solutions offered by the participants. I was hoping to see actual designers participating to this event (I mean as “jammers”), but on the other hand it is great seeing people from diverse backgrounds giving a real interest and dedication to this field. I hope this is a first step in starting a community of designers and attracting more people in this field and this type of events – maybe try making Iasi a leading creative center of Romania, for example?! I am very happy and honored I was invited to Design Jam and looking forward to the next editions!”

  • Bogdan Gâza

    “Had loads of fun at #djiasi. Looking forward for the next iteration of the event. Many thanks to the organizers!”

Also, enjoy the Design Jam Iasi photos: the “official” album and those pics shot by Andreea Popescu. Additionally, browse the @designjamiasi tweets.

The organizers (aka local champions) – Sabin Buraga, Stefan Negru, Lenuta Alboaie and Andrei Panu – are grateful for the support provided by Mozilla Labs, The Red Point, Faculty of Computer Science , UAIC Romania, and ASII (The Association of The Informatics’ Students from Iasi). Our thanks to student volunteers: Sabina Bolboceanu, Victor Panaite, and Adriana Schiopu. Live streaming services were kindly offered by MEDIAEC.

We hope you enjoyed the Summer Web 2011 + Design Jam Iasi events!
See you next year!

Is ‘Americanization’ actually bad for Nokia?

Over two years have passed since my job with Nokia was eliminated, and with the passing of time I find myself less and less inclined to expend effort covering the company I loved.  Focusing on the MeeGo venture has meant only peripheral acknowledgement of this key sponsor.  But with Stephen Elop’s ‘state of the company’ address coming up on February 11, I felt motivated to look both backwards and ahead to see if I might discern something not well addressed by the blogging community.  If accurate, the conclusion I’ve reached is a bit disturbing.

My premise: that it’s not as much Finnish conservatism that’s been detrimental to the cell phone giant’s success as it is wanton Americanization.  I find the basis of that conclusion in the extreme trimming of supply chain operations, in risk aversion and in mindshare cultivation failures.   Continue reading

The National Flowers of Southeast Asian Nations
and Its Symbolysm

Because of their aesthetic beauty, flowers are being given many symbolic meanings. It can be a gesture of love for a couple. Flowers can also be given to departed loved ones as a sign of respect and remembrance. Flowers can also become symbolic representations in various countries.

Countries in Southeast Asia have flowers that are considered symbolically important and culturally relevant. Depending on the history of each country, these flowers can be treated as symbols of virility, regrowth and death. Knowing more about these flowers helps people uncover the cultural history of these Southeast Asian countries. Here are more information about it.

In Thailand, the national flower is the cassia fistula -- ornamental plants that look like sprays of hanging yellow blossoms. The flower is also called the ratchaphurek or the golden shower tree. The flower symbolizes Thai royalty. Yellow is a special color in the country. It is also the personal color of the King.

In Singapore, the national flower is the Agnes Joaquim -- a bright purple orchid. The flower is named after its breeder. In the mid-1800s, Joaquim lived in Singapore. She specialized in planting orchids and won prizes for her hybrids. The orchid won first prize at a 1899 show. The Agnes Joaquim was named the national flower in 1981.

In the Philippines, the national flower is the Sampaguita Jasmine. The country have long been a hub of international trade. It was brought to the Philippines in the 1700s. The flower is a symbol of purity and strength. In the country, garlands of Sampaguita Jasmine are hanged on religious shrines and are given as gifts for guests. Extracts from the plant is also used to make perfumes.

In Indonesia, the national flower is the Rafflesia Arnoldii. With a diameter of one meter, the plant produces the largest flowers on earth. However the plant is known as the “corpse flower” because it smells like decay. The flower is very hard to find and grows like mushrooms on the forest floor. It is used as local medicine.

In Vietnam, there are two national flowers: the lotus and the chrysanthemum. The lotus has ties to Buddhism. The plant roots in the mud at the bottom of ponds and blossoms above the water. The lotus represents enlightenment, purification, and even rebirth.

Chrysanthemums were first cultivated in China. The significance it has in Vietnam is mainly due to Chinese influence. Both the lotus and the chrysanthemum are also used in local delicacies.

These flowers are known throughout Southeast Asia. Each flower, in its respective region, has significance and historical importance.

Hotty McHotHot Rumor: iPhone, Monday the 18, For Reals

Next Story

Wii Contest For Bloggers

Gizmodo likes rumors about as much as it likes trannie hookers: it can’t get them out of its head. So when we got a tip that the big cheese at the Giz was confident the iPhone would be dropping on Monday, December 18, we decided to to lay low and see how it pans out. But then when a couple of friends of minions of accountants of lawyers started whispering, “no, really,” we decided to pay attention.

We fully expect in every way the iPhone to be announced in January at MacWorld, but the looking glass says that this might be the big one. So why would Apple plop the damned thing on the 18th? To take advantage of the Xmas free for all that creates free publicity. If the source is correct, and he’s quite literally placing his rep on this one, then next week will be completely insane.

What do you think: iPhone on Monday, or has Giz lost its mind?

Remember this guy from The 40 Year Old Virgin? Haziz? From the very Circuit City-like Smart Tech store? Apparently he’s been arrested in connection with the attempted murder of his girlfriend. His name is Shelley Malil in real life and he’s being held on $2 million bail after hopping on a train from Los Angeles to San Diego in order to meet with his lawyer. Friends and family members apparently finally convinced Malil to turn himself in.

His girlfriend was found on Sunday night. The two had apparently just broken up. As of yesterday, she was in critical condition after being stabbed more than 20 times.

The $100k Fisker Karma Gets Put To The Test

Another Alleged iPad 2 Case Caught On Camera

Looks like we were right about production beginning in March. The long awaited Fisker Karma was put to the test this week by a few automotive publications and they had a few good things to say about it.

For those of you who haven’t heard much about the Fisker Karma, let’s go over some of the important details.

The Numbers The Gear
Estimated Price: $95,000 Powertrain: Rear-wheel drive, powered by two electric motors
Total Horsepower: 403 hp Range Extender: 2-liter Turbo I4
Total Torque: 981 lb-ft @ 0 rpm Battery Type: 20 kW Lithium-ion
0-60 mph: 7.9 sec (eco), 5.9 sec (sport) Transmission Single-speed Auto

From the looks of it, the Karma will be a neat car that can satisfy a niche market. Some of the test drivers had this to say about it:

Inside Line

Interior finish and materials quality are exceptional for this class and there is no cabin more ecologically conceived as this. The steering wheel is a tad overdone, though the thickness of the wheel itself is just right.

Central to the cabin’s controls is the standard 10.2-inch interface created with Visteon called the Fisker Command Center. All audio and climate controls are housed in the system, as are all general system tools and diagnostics. The touchscreen functionality appears fairly straightforward, although our interaction with it was limited.

Car and Driver

Three years and a billion investment dollars after the Fisker Karma rolled forth as a stunning plug-in-hybrid concept, it’s finally ready to rock as a stunning production car. All in less time (and for far less money) than GM needed to produce the Chevy Volt.

The Karma’s initial surge is sufficiently potent to avoid damnation as a slug. But the physics conspire against it keeping pace with other $100K sports sedans. In spite of the joys of low-rpm electric torque, the realities of a curb weight well above 4000 pounds and only one gear ratio mean that mileage is where this car excels. Until the EPA weighs in on that subject, we can only guess that the Karma will land slightly below the Volt’s ratings of 93 equivalent mpg (MPGe) in electric driving and 35 mpg city and 40 highway with the engine running.

The 255-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged and direct-injected GM Ecotec four-cylinder engine is cradled in a front mid-engine layout, and it powers the 175-kW generator while in Sport mode, which then pumps the 315-cell 606-pound lithium-ion battery pack full of kilowatt energy. It’s the 20-kW battery pack that finally feeds the two 201-hp, electric motors placed fore and aft of the single-speed rear differential. Combined, the whole works is good for a stonking 981 pound-feet of torque. Thus spinneth the rear axle and hence the forward thrust. In this Sport or, may we suggest, extended-range mode, top speed is let out to 125 mph and acceleration to 60 mph now happens in just 5.9 seconds whether we like it or not. We’ll come back to that.

Claimed maximum range in Sport mode is 300 miles. The fuel tank for the ER engine holds just 9.5 gallons, thus saving lots of sloshy pounds. Claimed possible autonomy per gallon in this longest range mode is 100+ miles, because you’ll definitely be recharging the batteries two or three times overnight before you burn through all the liquid fuel. Fisker predicts “people will stay in Stealth mode for over 80 percent of the time they’re driving.” A noble forecast, O, Danish wise man.

Ride-Sharing Platform Zimride Raises $6 Million Series A

Next Story

Microsoft And Others Put $61M Into Intent-Driven Ad Technology Company Adchemy

Zimride, a service that makes it easy to find people to ride-share with, has raised a $6 million Series A funding round led by Mayfield Fund. This round brings Zimride’s total funding to around $7.2 million, after a $1.2 million seed round last year that included Floodgate, K9 Ventures and Keith Rabois.

Zimride’s platform solves a common issue: helping people coordinate their carpools. It does so by helping people with spare seats — and those looking to fill those seats — get in touch with each other. Users also have the option of paying each other directly through the site.

Zimride is currently used in 120 different networks, each of which connects users belonging to the same university of business. Through the platform,  students and employees can can arrange to either carpool to work/class, or to coordinate one-off rides. For example, if I were planning to drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles, I could sell each of my extra seats. Zimride’s founders say that that trip actually runs around $40 per seat — which means it isn’t tough to actually make money on those long drives. To give an idea as to how much traction the service has within each network, Zimride says that Facebook is on the platform and that 35% of its employees are using the service.

Zimride makes money by charging each of these 120 universities and businesses directly, though it will also likely begin taking a cut of the transactions that go through its payments system down the line.

Zimride says that it plans to use the funding to boost the number of networks using the platform from 120 today to 300-400 by the end of next year. They also have plenty of areas to grow on their product, including spontaneous rideshares facilitated via a mobile app, as well as coordinating rideshares at events (the service is already used by Dave Matthews, Jack Jackson, and other bands).

From our sister station HOTSPOTATL.com –

T.I. dropped by his home town this week and stopped by Atlanta’s Hot 107.9 radio station where he reminisced about his craziest groupie tale:

The 31-year-old married rapper told a story about him being on tour in an unknown country, where he was asleep in his hotel room. The ‘Live Your Life’ rapper went on to reveal that he woke up the next morning to find an unknown woman standing in his hotel bedroom.

The freaked out star said he quickly asked the groupie to leave his room, but failed to reveal if anything happened between the two.

WTF?! Where is Tiny?? We wonder if anything happened between TIP and the alleged ho-tastic eager fan. Check out the full video below for the full interview…

On Bernanke paying “lip service” to nominal stability

The list of Bernanke´s “homilies” on the importance of “nominal stability” is long. Between 1999 and 2003 he delivered speeches on the topic in at least four occasions, covering Japanese monetary policy (“Self-induced paralysis”) in 1999; the importance of Friedman´s “A monetary history” on November 8, 2002, where we read the passage that has become famous:

For practical central bankers, among which I now count myself, Friedman and Schwartz’s analysis leaves many lessons. What I take from their work is the idea that monetary forces, particularly if unleashed in a destabilizing direction, can be extremely powerful. The best thing that central bankers can do for the world is to avoid such crises by providing the economy with, in Milton Friedman’s words, a “stable monetary background”–for example as reflected in low and stable inflation.

Let me end my talk by abusing slightly my status as an official representative of the Federal Reserve. I would like to say to Milton and Anna: Regarding the Great Depression. You’re right, we did it. We’re very sorry. But thanks to you, we won’t do it again.

Followed shortly by the “evils” of deflation (“Making sure “it” doesn´t happen here”) on November 21, 2008; and 11 months later another “ode” to Friedman on the “Legacy of Free to Choose”. Scott Sumner has covered that one very nicely (here and here) but there can never be too much emphasis:

Ultimately, it appears, one can check to see if an economy has a stable monetary background only by looking at macroeconomic indicators such as nominal GDP growth and inflation. On this criterion it appears that modern central bankers have taken Milton Friedman’s advice to heart. Over the past two decades, inflation has fallen sharply and stabilized around the world, not only in the industrialized nations but in emerging-market economies and in even the poorest developing nations. Some central banks, so-called inflation targeters, have set explicit, quantitative targets for inflation; but all central banks, certainly including the Federal Reserve, have emphasized the importance of achieving and maintaining price stability.

Maybe I´m being too picky, but it seems from the quote above that Friedman´s “nominal stability” has collapsed to “price stability”. As events have shown that “adaptation” has proved both dangerous and deleterious for “nominal stability”.

Let me backtrack more than 40 years to Friedman´s two articles, both published in the Journal of Political Economy in 1970 and 1971. The first was “Theoretical Framework for Monetary Policy”, which was followed by “A Monetary Theory of Nominal Income”. A book with the title “Milton Friedman´s Monetary Framework – A Debate with his Critics”, edited by Robert Gordon and putting together both articles soon followed (1974). The “debaters” were Karl Brunner, Alan Meltzer, James Tobin, Paul Davidson and Don Patinkin.

I´ll just give two quotes from “A Monetary theory of Nominal Income” that are very relevant to the present situation.

When elaborating on the “correspondence of the monetary theory of nominal income with experience”, Friedman writes:

“In particular, the approach provides an interpretation of the empirical generalization that high interest rates mean that money has been easy, in the sense of increasing rapidly  and low rates, that money has been tight, in the sense of increasing slowly, rather than the reverse”.

In the section “Short-Run Adjustment of Nominal Income”, Friedman says:

“For monetary theory, the key question is the process of adjustment to a discrepancy between the nominal quantity of money demanded and the nominal quantity supplied… What, on this view, will cause the rate of change of nominal income to depart from its permanent value (that I interpret as the level trend path it has been following for a long time)? Anything (maybe a house price crash and ensuing financial sector problems) that produces a discrepancy between the nominal quantity of money demanded and the quantity supplied, or between the two rates of change of money demanded and money supplied”.

And that´s exactly the best explanation for the “dive” in nominal spending (income) illustrated below, which happens due to the Feds exclusive focus on “price stability” and the “fear” of the consequences of rising oil and commodity prices, completely ignoring what was happening to money demand, letting the growth of money supply fall far below the growth of money demand.

It´s amazing that having read most of what Friedman wrote, and having “showered” him with praise in more than one occasion, Bernanke should have “forgotten” Friedman´s spirited defense of “nominal stability”, a concept much more general than just “price stability”.

Minds are so “screwed-up” that it is hard, in light of the foregoing, to make sense of Bernanke´s testimony on the H-H report to Congress on February 29:

The dual objectives of price stability and maximum employment are generally complementary. Indeed, at present, with the unemployment rate elevated and the inflation outlook subdued, the Committee judges that sustaining a highly accommodative stance for monetary policy is consistent with promoting both objectives. However, in cases where these objectives are not complementary, the Committee follows a balanced approach in promoting them, taking into account the magnitudes of the deviations of inflation and employment from levels judged to be consistent with the dual mandate, as well as the potentially different time horizons over which employment and inflation are projected to return to such levels.

Please translate!

  1. Mumbo-jumbo from a peek-a-boo Fed. And some talk about regime uncertainty. Is not a mystic, secretive Fed a prime source of regime uncertainty?

  2. Pingback: On Bernanke paying "lip service" to nominal stability « Economics Info

  3. Not much to say here, except I wholeheartedly follow you in preferring the “nominal stability” to “price stability” which in principle at least can always end up competing with the full employment mandate.

Booking Through Thursday: Summer Reading

What’s the worst thing you ever did to your reading material? … Have you EVER damaged your book/magazine/paper? Dropped it in the bathtub? Used it to kill a bug? Spilled with coffee?

When I was a tiny, angry child, I used to scribble in and tear up my brother’s comics. And these weren’t American comics—these were beautiful, hardbound copies of The Adventures of Asterix in French. My mother punished me so well that, to this day, not only can I not write in a book, I can’t bring myself to damage them.

Things have happened by accident, though. My first copy of The Lord of the Rings somehow got Silly Putty smashed into the appendices, making the tale of Aragorn and Arwen glitter more than ever. But that’s the only major damage I can remember…

8 thoughts on “Booking Through Thursday: Summer Reading

  1. A few days ago I got caught in a freak thunderstorm and the library books in my backpack got completely soaked. For some reason, one sustained water damage, but the other one didn’t. Since the book that dried out and looked good as new afterwards was The Night Battles, I’m assuming it must have been protected by an enchantment.

  2. Oooo, this is a hard question! I’m not sure I know the answer to this one. I try pretty hard to take care of my books, and as far as I can remember, I always did. My older sister used to stab at her books with her compass when she was in grade school — out of boredom, not malice, but the books ended up pretty sorry-looking anyway.

SuperSpeed RamDisk Plus v11.6.795 + Crack [ThumperDC]
Applications > Windows
21.48 MiB (22524534 Bytes)

2012-04-02 21:35:21 GMT
ThumperTM VIP

Info Hash:

(Problems with magnets links are fixed by upgrading your torrent client!)
For Cool Downloads Visit:

RamDisk 11 for Desktop Systems
Superspeed offers two high-performance RAM disk products: RamDisk and RamDisk Plus.

RamDisk and RamDisk Plus®
Both use our patent-pending memory management (up to 512 GB) to create a virtual disk out of RAM. The RAM disk appears like a physical hard disk to the operating system and programs. You choose its size (depending on the amount of RAM in your system), drive letter, and file system. You can copy, move and delete files on it. Like a physical disk, a RAM disk can also be shared so as to be accessed by other computers on a network.

The most important difference between a RAM disk and a hard disk is access speed. The time taken for a hard disk to move its magnetic heads over the spinning disks (much like the arm moving over old vinyl record player) is typically measured in milliseconds (thousandths of a second). Whereas a RAM disk does not have mechanical parts and its access speed is typically measured in nanoseconds (billionths of a second). Access to a RAM disk may be 50 times faster or more than to a hard drive.

Install Notes
1. Install the program and do not run.
2. Copy the keygen to prog dir, i.e. "C:Program FilesSuperSpeedRamDisk".
3. Run the keygen and insert your name, then click "Patch" but before restaring your computer, generate a file key in your name, then restart.
4. Run the program and click "File" and go to "Licensing" and click "update" and "Browse" for the key in prog dir and open it, and press "Apply", and restart.
5. DONE!

Note: If You Have Problem With Any Of my Torrents Register To My Site And PM Me About Your  Problem:

thx - but can't get it to work on 64 bit windows 7
looks like patch + key are only for 32 bit
Patcher doesnt work for 64 bit windows
The patcher doesnt even work, waste of an upload.
I haver not good experience with zwt team crack with another program SuperCache from the firm which made SuperSpeed Ramdisk
this is bullshit for 64 support same as all thumpers garbage ,you need to remove your green skull asshole wasted my bandwith downloading a diaper full of shit
Quiet down dough head, what have you contributed? Do you even seed?

There are ppl out there running 32-bit Win7 (I'm using 64, can't dload this one either).

When you start uploading original torrents, you'll be justified in complaining about others. Till then, shush, K? Thank you.
Hope you're not letting the Pubes get to you Thump.

Keep up the good work.
I have windows 7 64bit so if it already does the same to some extent, i don't think i need this, what i thought it would do is use like 4gb of ram as a temporal physical hdd and load files in it much faster...
As usual another piece of garbage. Why do you bother including a 64-bit setup if it doesn't work on 64-bit windows?

And ironymon, if you think windows 7 64-bit does the same thing as a RAMDisk, then you obviously haven't got a clue what a RAMdisk actually is.
Even with a x64 patch, use it with caution. I installed Superspeed Supercache with the same patch from ZWT and it crashed my *.sys drivers. I was unable to boot into windows.
here you have a free RAM DISK tool, 32 and 64. With out needing virulient cracks or keygen :)

The patch is ONLY for 32-bit.

& as said before ;
Why do you even bother including a 64-bit setup without any crack/solution for it ?!?

Just upload the working [32-bit] version & avoid being cursed 999999 times by random people becoz you wasted their time.

anyway, tnx for tryin...
I have that RamDisk you mention and it functions flawlessly. I was looking for something that might have more configuration capabilities and was hoping this was it. It wasn't. I have a fast machine with dual AMD Phenoms, and 16GB fast DDR3 and I use PS6 and illustrator, so a x64 Ramdisk is essential.

Regretfully, everyone is correct, this will not function on an x64 Win 7 system.

Why do I see so many lame and blaming comments? Only on the Internet does such rampant and unsocial blaming occur.

You would not act this way to your friends and few have the courage to act so repulsively to strangers, less they get the shit knocked out of them.

Some people are unafraid of fighting, well trained, and powerful, so you don't chance that behavior. But think about insulting Hackers that take revenge in more subtle but more damaging ways.

On the Internet, you can be found and your nasty ways might be shut down by people with powerful abilities that you lack.

Everyone makes mistakes, only the immature post such vile blames. Just a simple pleasant reminder to the uploader is sufficient.
As others have stated, this torrent includes an installer for 64-bit windows (I'm testing this on vista without access to a Windows7 computer at the moment). The installer works and installs, but the keygen -ONLY- generates keys for the 32-bit version of this program. -NOT- the 64-bit version. As well, the generated patch routine inside this keygen does not recognize the 64-bit *.EXE of the installed program as an acceptable file, either.

Kharotabad: A Taliban safe haven

Kharotabad: A Taliban safe haven

Hospital alleges an NGO provides free medical treatment to injured militants.

ISLAMABAD: People in Kharotabad are living in constant fear of possible drone attacks in their neighbourhood, considering that over the past six months, the Afghan and local Taliban seemed to covet this part of Quetta as a veritable ‘vacation spot’.

Every four months, Taliban fighters return from war fronts in Afghanistan and rent out dozens of residential accommodations in this vicinity, The Express Tribune has learnt.

Their presence is becoming a major concern for people living in adjoining areas, especially because this is the same area where the US alleges the Quetta Shura is hiding out.

A few madrassahs in Kharotabad are also providing ‘free’ accommodation to these militants.

They move freely as if to defy invisible observers, who they think are keeping a watch over them, making it obvious to them that Kharotabad is a safe haven for the Taliban.

Creating an army

Students from religious seminaries in the province are being recruited for the Afghan Taliban movement, a dime a dozen. They are reportedly ‘trained for jihad’ in Afghanistan by Afghan ‘commanders’, before they are sent on designated terror missions.

At least six to eight new, unarmed recruits leave Kuchlak Bazar, located near Quetta, on brand new 75CC motorbikes every morning, headed towards Afghanistan.

They are, it is learnt, told to avoid travelling on main highways to dodge security forces and instead take lesser known mountainous routes via Kuchlak to Qamar Din Karez town on the Pak-Afghan border.

They also avoid travelling in groups – two persons per motorbike. They are also given Rs5,000 each, in addition to sufficient money for fuel.

A majority of these boys join Taliban with their parent’s consent, while many others embark on this ‘holy mission’ without the knowledge of their guardians.

The ideology faction of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI), led by MNA Maulana Esmatullah and his party members, is a motivating force for these young students of Balochistan.

Mullah Omar’s messages to people in Pakistan and other parts of the world are also sent through Kandahar to Quetta.

Free medical care for war-wounded Taliban

The Afghan and local Taliban who are wounded during their missions in Afghanistan, are reportedly receiving free medical treatment at five prominent private hospitals, a majority of which are situated on the Airport Road.

The administration at these hospitals told The Express Tribune that an international NGO of world repute, funds their medical care.”We are being paid by this NGO for the medical care being provided to the wounded or sick Taliban militants,” the administrator at Dr Abdul Khaliq Memorial Hospital alleged.

The NGO does not allow the police or intelligence agencies access to these “under-treatment” Taliban. The NGO puts up a ‘don’t know’ front “We have not set up any field hospitals in Balochistan to provide medical assistance to the Afghan Taliban or other militants,” the NGO’s head of sub-delegation told The Express Tribune.

However, he said, the NGO is supporting three private hospitals in Quetta for providing medical assistance to wounded people. “Doctors at Ikram Hospital and Imdad Hospital are providing medical assistance to people injured in bomb blasts, firing incidents and other forms of violence.”

Hundreds of patients, mostly Afghans, receive treatment at these private hospitals in the provincial capital, he added.

Pinpointing Emissivity with a Surface Probe

If your target surface is particularly reflective, or if you need a higher level of accuracy on your readings, a two-in-one infrared like the RayTemp 8 or RayTemp 38 are particularly useful, since these will also function as conventional probe thermometers. When using one of these you can:

  1. Take a surface reading with a surface probe and meter - you can connect a surface probe to the RayTemp 8 or 38 and write down the temperature.
  2. Using a chart value as a starting point, adjust the emissivity setting on your infrared thermometer up and down until the temperature reading on your infrared thermometer matches the temperature recorded by the surface probe and meter.

You can now be confident that other measurements taken with that infrared thermometer on that same surface material in the same general temperature range will be accurate.

Temperature Display Fluctuates

The temperature of food is very dynamic, particularly while it is cooking, and the Super-Fast Thermapen is fast and accurate enough to show minute changes in the temperature while they occur.

Probe TipThe tip of the Thermapen probe can be pushed through food helping you find the coolest part of the center and can show differences in temperature from one spot to another (different parts of a whole Turkey can differ by as much as 11°C).

While it can take 2 or 3 seconds for the Thermapen to move from the ambient temperature (room temperature) to the temperature of a food or liquid, once its micro-thermocouple has honed in on the current temperature, it is very quick to sense and display changes (the display refreshes every half-second).

Of course, these minor changes can be hidden by changing the display resolution of the Thermapen from tenths to whole numbers (see Customising your Thermapen). Whole numbers can be very comforting.

(with tenths)
whole degrees
(without tenths)

Sometimes people have a mentality that cooking thermometers should be like bathroom scales or speed guns and lock in on the temperature once it is detected, but rest assured, if the Thermapen numbers are changing, the food’s temperature is changing!

Why I Love the Internet

I posted this great cover last month, as some of you will remember.  Earlier this week I got an email from a nice woman in California who had been looking for this particular issue of Charm.  As it happens, her mother worked for the magazine in the early 1950s, and in some correspondence she mentioned this particular issue.  She was an editorial assistant, and she helped write the articles that appeared.   In particular she mentioned ghost-writing a “beauty bath article by Kay Torrey.”

Well, I got the magazine and quickly found the article in question:

The assistant’s name was Lois Isde.  According to her daughter:

“After graduating from Valparaiso University (Indiana) in the early 1950s (with a degree in geography), my mother moved to NYC to pursue a career in publishing. She had brief stints at Charm magazine and Women’s Wear Daily, before meeting my father who was a graduate student at Columbia University. They eventually moved to Madison, Wis., and then Chicago and she stopped working to raise my 2 brothers and me. After we were grown, she worked for a medical publishing company in St. Louis. She always loved those years in the 1950s when she wrote about  fashion, beauty, women’s issues, etc, in New York City.”

Rarely am I persuaded to sell things that I post about here, but this was just too special not to pass along to Lois’s daughter.  The internet has been with us for quite a few years now, and sometimes we take it for granted.  But when I’m able to connect with a reader in this way, I remember just how great the power of google is.

  1. Small world, isn’t it. Fortunate for her that you were gracious and parted with that particular issue.

    There’s that suit with the padded hips again…that I am enjoying seeing once more.

  2. What a wonderful story! So glad you were able to pass along the issue to her. And how nice of her mother, later in life, to recall her good times in NYC working in fashion.

    I do love the power of the internet for good stuff like this!

  3. I love this story! Getting weepy, now. I also love her mother’s opening paragraph! The photograph is also pretty darn great. Dig the slippers! T.

  4. Aw! This is beautiful!

  5. Thanks so much for sharing this story, Lizzie. It is precisely these personal connections – so often with strangers – that make blogs so much fun. It was so lovely of you to part with your magazine; your reader in California will forever remember your kindness, I am sure.

  6. amazing! i love how the internet makes the world that much more accessible to everyone.

  7. I love it when this happens! 🙂

  8. Love this story! You’re a peach, Lizzie.

  9. Such a great way to remind us of the beauty of sharing. Thank you Lizzie.

  10. It is stories like this that make me grateful for the internet as well. Your generous act made two people very happy. I was also glad that I found an appreciative buyer (you!) for my KEK album. I have to admit that one of my joys in selling vintage is finding good homes for things.

  11. I love it Lizzie! Wish I could read the article in its entirety. Can you scan it all? I am all about at home beauty and just wrote about it on my blog. Love that you are sending her the magazine! How wonderful you are!

  12. Great story, LIzzie! Those “glamorous career years” must have been a wonderful memory for both Lois and her daughter, and how lovely of you to send the magazine aka family heirloom “home”…

  13. Hopefully I’ve built up a bit of good vintage karma! I appreciate all the nice words, but seriously, I just could not say no in this case.

  14. Lizzie, this is beyond CHARM-ing. I love this story, and not just because my mother’s name is LOIS. You have done a wonderful thing. How lovely of you. God bless, Kay Noske

Gems from my Favorite Scholars

Nauman Ali Khan

Allah will intervene into our emotional states. He can give you tranquillity again; whether it’s anxiety, fear, grief, anger – whatever emotion, whatever thing that’s happened that has left you scared, Allah can remove that scar entirely.” – Nouman Ali Khan

Learn the religion to humble yourself, not to weaponize yourself. Knowledge and righteousness are not necessarily correlated

Allah created us with an innate predisposition towards doing the right thing; it’s called the fitrah. And when we violate that spiritual programming inside of us, we experience the security mechanism Allah placed inside of us: guilt. Guilt is a gift from Allah warning you that, whatever you are doing is violating your soul.

Allah wants us to be happy. Human beings can not have happiness without restriction. Because they are only going to land themselves into further trouble and end up harming themselves

If you have friends or family who are not practicing, give them your company and not your judgment. They need your patience and your love. Allah is sufficient for judgment and He subhanahu wa ta’ala is a perfect Judge. We are not.

Islam didn’t make it Haram for you to fall in love. It didn’t forbid you from wanting someone. It only guides that love so it protects you, her, your families and especially saves you from humiliation on judgment day. If you love her so much, why are you ok with letting her engage in this questionable relationship knowing full well that she will have to answer Allah just like you will. You don’t love her enough to save her from that

Forgiving someone isn’t just about doing good to another. It’s also about healing a scar in your own heart.

As a Muslim you can be part of any culture across the world as long as your deen never gets compromised. If you treat Islam as a culture then when it clashes with another culture it loses a part of it. You cannot hold on to Islam if it is only a culture to you.

Today in Madonna History: May 25, 1985

madonna-cobo-arena-1 madonna-cobo-arena-2 madonna-cobo-arena-3 madonna-cobo-arena-4

On May 25 1985, Madonna performed The Virgin Tour at Cobo Arena in Detroit, Michigan. The show was filmed by Daniel Kleinman, and released by Warner Music Video and Sire Records on November 13 1985.

Here is the dialog from Madonna’s famous Virgin Tour introduction (filmed by James Foley for the video release, it was not present during the concerts):

“I went to New York. I had a dream. I wanted to be a big star, I didn’t know anybody, I wanted to dance, I wanted to sing, I wanted to do all those things, I wanted to make people happy, I wanted to be famous, I wanted everybody to love me. I wanted to be a star. I worked really hard, and my dream came true.”

Madonna Live: The Virgin Tour was an enormous success.  The home video release was the top selling music video cassette of 1986 in the USA, and the video was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipment of 100,000 copies.

Today in Madonna History: August 26, 2001

Madonna HBO Ad 2sonicboy's DWT ticket

On August 26 2001, Madonna Live! Drowned World Tour 2001 was broadcast live on HBO and The Movie Network in Canada from The Palace Of Auburn Hills, Auburn Hills, MI. It was seen by 5.7 million viewers – the network’s third highest rated prime-time concert special since 1997.

The broadcast marked the second time Madonna had selected her hometown as a location to record one of her shows, the first being The Virgin Tour home video/laserdisc release, filmed in 1985 at Cobo Arena in Detroit.

With the Drowned World Tour itinerary not including any dates in Canada, many Canadian fans who purchased tickets for one of the two shows in Detroit were pleasantly surprised when it was announced that the second show would be broadcast live in both countries. Madonna’s previous HBO specials for the Blond Ambition and Girlie Show tours did not receive a live broadcast in Canada, although the latter did air on MuchMusic at a later date.

What’s That Torrent Thing Google Keeps Suggesting?

Thanks to Google people have all the world's knowledge at their fingertips. Simply type in a few words and the search engine usually returns hundreds of thousands of related websites - some background info on your favorite musician for example, or the latest blockbuster that just premiered. But, what's that torrent thing Google keeps suggesting? Click...

google bayBitTorrent’s leading role in the file-sharing world can be partly attributed to its technical superiority. However, there are other, perhaps even more defining factors that have propelled BitTorrent’s popularity. Search engines for example, such as Google and to a lesser extent Bing and Yahoo!.

One could argue that Google has been one of the greatest contributers to the success of BitTorrent. Unlike other filesharing applications such as Frostwire, Ares and eMule, the .torrent download links are listed on billions of search engine friendly pages on the Internet.

We dare to argue that if BitTorrent didn’t rely on web-based indexing sites, it would be nowhere as popular as it is today. Today, thousands of new people continue to be introduced to it by Google alone. Features such as Google Suggest and Google Instant play a key role in this discovery process.

Just take a look at the two screenshots of Google searches for Wall Street Money Never Sleeps and Resident Evil Afterlife, and see what Google suggests as a search phrase after one enters the movie titles into the search box.

Google suggest for Wall Street Money Never Sleeps

wall street never sleeps torrent

The search suggestions are based on the search habits in one’s geographical locations, so they may not be the same for everyone. However, the ‘torrent’ suggestion usually makes it into the top 5.

Google suggest for Resident Evil Afterlife

resident evil afterlife torrent

Due to BitTorrent’s popularity, a movie title followed by the word ‘torrent’ is often the first suggestion, before words such as trailer, review and soundtrack. This isn’t a decision made by the Google staffers, but a reflection of the fact that more people search for ‘torrent’ in combination with a movie title (or music and software tiles) than these other words.

Earlier this year Google rolled out a new feature that may boost the conversion of new people to BitTorrent to even more. With Google Instant users directly see the results of the search phrases they type. This means that for a lot of movies merely entering the title and a space will give then a list of download links on torrent sites.

When we do a search for Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World for example (with Google Instant enabled), we immediately get a list of download links on various BitTorrent sites when we enter a space. It’s needless to say that this may pique the interest of people who have never heard of BitTorrent.

Google Instant for Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World torrent

Of course, Google is not to blame for any of this. They have their automated algorithms and because BitTorrent is used by millions of people, ‘torrent’ related search phrases often rise to the top of suggested searches. In a way, the same can be said for torrent search engines – should the operators really be blamed for how a subgroup of their visitors use their sites?

Obama, appearing on “The Daily Show”, stated: “You then ask them, well what represents a better deal? Typically, they’re vague and they fall back on, ‘well, if you had just beat your chest a little bit more … or if you had brought Dick Cheney to the negotiations, well then everything would be fine,'” he said to laughs from the audience.
