Students who have not had intermediate macro will find this to be a difficult chapter. Go through the IS-LM derivation slowly and then have the students draw shifts in curves and discuss the implications. If the students are actively involved in manipulating the diagrams, they retain the lesson better than if they passively sit back and listen to the lecture. 2. It is important to point out that policy coordination is no substitute for each nation following appropriate domestic policies. In other words, policy coordination is not the goal, but a means of achieving the goal of stable economic growth. SUGGESTED ANSWERS TO CHAPTER 14 EXERCISES Exercise 1 The closed economy allows policy makers to address domestic problems without regard to the balance of payments. In this sense, policy is easier to formulate. Exercise 2 See figures 14.2, 14.3, and 14.4 for the derivations. Exercise 3 a. First, suppose that the surplus is due to a restrictive monetary policy. i. Under fixed exchange rates, the central bank must intervene and issue domestic currency to buy foreign exchange in order to maintain the fixed exchange rate. This would increase the money supply and restore the equilibrium. There is no effect on income and employment. ii. Under flexible exchange rates, the official settlements surplus will cause the domestic currency to appreciate, decreasing domestic exports and thus restoring the equilibrium 29 automatically with no central bank intervention. Domestic employment and income have decreased. In sum. if the balance-of-payments surplus is due to a restrictive monetary policy, the appropriate government policy to induce equilibrium under fixed rates is central bank intervention with an expansionary money supply policy. Under flexible rates, no intervention is necessary since market forces will do the job. b. Now, suppose that the surplus is due to an expansionary fiscal policy. i. Under fixed exchange rates, the central bank must increase the money supply and buy foreign exchange with domestic money until equilibrium is restored. Domestic employment and income have increased. ii. Under flexible exchange rates, the domestic currency appreciates until the equilibrium is restored. This appreciation reduces domestic exports and increases imports, and offsets the initial increase in domestic income due to the expansionary fiscal policy. No change in domestic employment and income. SUMMARY TABLE: Balance of Payments Surplus is Due to Restrictive Monetary Policy Expansionary Fiscal Policy Fixed Flexible Fixed Flexible Appropriate policy Intervention: No active Intervention: No active to induce equilibrium expand the monetary policy expand the monetary policy money supply money supply Effect on income No change Lower Higher No change Exercise 4 The "adjustment mechanism" under fixed and flexible exchange rates is different. This is the main reason for the different monetary policy formulations under both systems. With floating rates the central bank is not obliged to intervene in the foreign exchange market to support a particular exchange rate, and therefore the money supply can change to any level desired by the monetary authorities. With fixed exchange rates, the domestic monetary authorities are not free to conduct monetary policy independent of the rest of the world because they must intervene in the foreign exchange market continuously to maintain a fixed exchange rate. Also, with perfect capital mobility, any attempt to lower or increase the money supply and shift the LM curve would have just the reverse effect on the interest rate and intervention activity. The maintenance of the fixed exchange rate would require an ultimate reversal of policy. Exercise 5 Point A: A balance of payments surplus, excess supply of goods, and excess supply of money. Point B: An excess demand for money, excess supply of goods, and balance of payments deficit. Point C: A balance of payments deficit, excess demand for goods, and excess demand for money. Point D: An excess supply of money, balance of payments surplus, and excess demand for goods. Exercise 6 The idea behind policy coordination is to keep the currencies within ranges broadly consistent with underlying fundamentals by coordinating macroeconomic policies internationally, and by intervening in the foreign exchange markets to prevent excessive volatility. The excessive volatility (i.e., volatility more than implied by PPP) may cause destabilizing effects on international trade in goods and financial assets. Therefore, a coordinated policy can reduce this volatility and the destabilizing effects by providing rules for countries regarding monetary and fiscal policy. 30

NFL sets Graham's franchise tag value at $7.05 million
Updated On: Mar 03 2014 09:12:35 PM CST
The NFL has formally designated New Orleans' Jimmy Graham as a tight end for the purposes of his franchise tag value, which is now set at $7.05 million next season unless Graham and the Saints subsequently agree on a long-term deal.
The designation was released Monday after the deadline passed for NFL teams to use franchise or transition tags on players becoming free agents.
Because Graham often split out from the offensive line as a receiver would, there have been questions concerning whether the NFL's collective bargaining agreement calls for Graham to have a receiver's tag, worth $12.1 million. Graham still could file a grievance, leaving an arbitrator to decide which tag is appropriate.
Graham caught a team-leading 86 passes for 1,215 yards and 16 touchdowns last season.

BroadSoft, Inc. (NASDAQ: BSFT) and Sonus Networks, Inc.

Unified Communications services are increasingly important to service providers:
- The market for Collaboration Services delivered via cloud deployments is projected to be $22B by 2018. (Source: Forrester, Collaboration Services: Deployment Options For The Enterprise, November 2012)
- A February 2013 survey found that, while over half of all Unified Communication deployments are premises-based today, that percentage is expected to drop to 31% as future deployments move more to the cloud. (Webtorials Enterprise Survey)
Sonus and BroadSoft can provide simplified network designs to reduce costs by leveraging BroadSoft's products and the Sonus line of SBCs. Service providers can also use these BroadSoft and Sonus offerings to define and take to market a broad range of Unified Communications services including voice, video calling and conferencing, web conferencing, instant messaging and presence.
Working together BroadSoft and Sonus expect to:
- Deliver integrated, fully tested and secure Unified Communications, SIP trunking and interworking network components

"The interoperability of BroadSoft products with Sonus' SBCs can help customers accelerate SIP application delivery," said Diane Myers, Principal Analyst with Infonetics Research. "In a market where speed of deployment and time to revenue are critical success factors, service providers are seeking reliable, integrated solutions that deliver both cost savings and new revenue opportunities through cloud-based unified communications."

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example t...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies.

Has high cap figure. Aaron Wilson
The Seattle Seahawks are expected to release receiver Sidney Rice this offseason, according to a report from NFL Network.
Rice tore his ACL during the 2013 season and was placed on injured reserve. He's slated to earn $9.7 million in 2014. The Seahawks would save $7.3 million if they released Rice.
The Seahawks have plenty of other receiving options if they decide to part ways with Rice. Percy Harvin and Doug Baldwin are viable options, though the Seahawks would also have to work on a new deal with receiver Golden Tate to keep him, too.

Cloud Computing Expo on Ulitzer
RightScale, Inc., today launched the next generation of the RightScale Cloud Management Platform that delivers increased application portability across cloud infrastructures. With this release, RightScale has enhanced its ServerTemplate technology to provide automatic configuration of servers for different clouds, system architectures and operating systems. The new portable ServerTemplates enable users to take advantage of the specific features and functionality offered by each cloud provider, including Amazon and Rackspace, while retaining complete portability.
RightScale made this announcement today at the inaugural RightScale User Meetup event in Santa Clara, Calif., where the RightScale community has gathered to learn about RightScale technology, hear real-world cloud computing case studies and share experiences with fellow RightScale users.
"As cloud computing matures, more and more cloud providers are emerging with very different architectures and a diversity of options for servers, storage, and network architecture," said Thorsten von Eicken, CTO and founder at RightScale. "Unlike emerging common cloud APIs that promote a 'lowest common denominator' approach to cloud portability, RightScale's new ServerTemplates enable true portability, while also letting users take advantage of the unique capabilities of different clouds. We see this as a huge step in helping IT organizations embrace and benefit from a multi-cloud world."
Portable ServerTemplates: Dynamic Configuration for Different Cloud Infrastructures
The RightScale Cloud Management Platform lets any organization tap the enormous power of cloud computing for scalable, cost-effective IT infrastructure on demand, with complete control and portability. RightScale ServerTemplates, a core component of the RightScale platform, innovate beyond machine images to dynamically configure servers in the context of an overall system architecture, or what RightScale calls a cloud "deployment." RightScale's ServerTemplates have always supported a wide range of automation to simplify application management in the cloud.
The new, enhanced RightScale ServerTemplates provide a significantly higher level of portability by automatically configuring servers for a specific cloud, application architecture and operating system. With the new ServerTemplates, RightScale users can more easily deploy applications on their selected cloud using all the unique features of that cloud while retaining portability to other clouds. Furthermore, independent software vendors (ISVs) can now build one ServerTemplate that automatically installs their software on any RightScale-supported cloud infrastructure.
To implement these portable ServerTemplates, RightScale has incorporated Opscode's Chef, an open source server configuration management framework, into its ServerTemplate technology. Because RightScale's ServerTemplates have always been modular and flexible, users can now specify what resources are needed for each server, and the ServerTemplate selects, at runtime, the right implementation for the specific cloud and deployment architecture. Chef "Recipes" -- Chef's core building blocks -- then execute the implementation in an operating system-independent way. Finally, RightScale's new agent, RightLink, orchestrates the execution of RightScripts and Chef Recipes at boot, during operation, or at shut down. RightLink also manages the cross-server communication required to ensure each server is configured and connected to operate within a larger cloud deployment. The combination of these three technologies enables users to take advantage of unique infrastructures and architecture designs to build truly agile and automated infrastructure without sacrificing portability.
In addition, through the integration of Chef technology with the RightScale platform, the growing Chef development community can now distribute Chef Recipes through the leading cloud management platform to a host of real customers running business-critical applications on the cloud today. As Opscode's technology continues to gain momentum in the cloud community, RightScale customers will be able to leverage an extensive collection of Chef Cookbooks and Recipes to maximize application portability.
An alpha release of the first RightScale portable ServerTemplates will be available on November 3, with the latest release of the RightScale Cloud Management Platform. These ServerTemplates launch fully functional front-end architectures on either Amazon or Rackspace clouds. These premium front-end architectures are comprised of the HAProxy load balancer and either PHP or Rails application servers. In addition, a Rails All-in-One stack is available as a free reference stack for those just starting out with the new RightScale ServerTemplates. Over time, RightScale will continue to adapt its set of premium ServerTemplates to address different cloud platforms.
RightScale's Thorsten von Eicken will discuss how to take advantage of the multi-cloud world that exists today at the Cloud Computing Expo in Santa Clara, Calif. RightScale will also be exhibiting the RightScale platform and new RightScale ServerTemplates at the Expo in booth #106, today through Wednesday, Nov. 4.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

We provide classic GSD (some people call them by the term "old fashion"). They generally are
better natured, have straight backs and are healthier than the modern breeds or breeds from overseas. Our Dogs
are the most common for those who want a pet or need a Security/K-9 or Search & Rescue Dog. Our breed have been carefully
chosen for their intelligence, beauty and health. Their color and markings are the traditional black
saddle and tan (see the pictures on this web site). Also, our breed of Puppies are
usually born without the saddle appearance on their back, but change over time into this style
during the first year of their life. It is fun to watch them as they mature into their adult color
and markings. Their hair is short-medium in length and their weight will generally develop to
55-90 pounds. Males are usually larger than females and both will keep growing until they are 18
months old and then fill out (like the rest of us... smile). Our breed is sometimes called a "working dog"
and are excellent for training and performing duties. They thrive on pleasing their master and their
loyality in unmatched by any other breed. We Love German Shepherd Puppies - Texas Loves Heidelberg Pedigree Puppies!.

Hey guys! Im back! Ive missed you all and hope yall have been doing well. I wanna touch on a few things in this little journal here. So be prepared for anything.
Military Life
Although Im done with my Basic Training, im not done with my military stuff. Im currently at Fort Bragg in North Carolina for something called AIT (Advanced Individual Training). I loved Basic Training! It was so fun and annoying at the same time! The training we did was just amazing. Sure my buddies and I got in trouble for stupid stuff, but it made us stronger as individuals and as a team. That's mostly what the military is about, TEAMWORK. Also, Im not gonna brag or anything, but I managed to graduate from THE TOUGHEST MILITARY BASE IN THE UNITED STATES. Fort Benning, Georgia. Would I do Basic Training all over again. Hell yeah I would. I've grown up so much and had a chance to experience things on a new level. Sure at times, I was mentally, emotionally, and physically tired (Mostly because of the 4:30 am wakeups every morning =_= 0430 in military time), but the point of basic training is to see how strong you are physically and mentally. Drill Sergeants main purpose for being there is TO TRY TO BREAK YOU MENTALLY. Why? If you cant handle one guy yelling at you here, how would you react in a different country? Simple right? I will never forget about my time in Basic Training. Honestly, the worst part of Basic was our 12 mile (16 km) march. We had to carry 40 pounds on our backs while carrying a 12 pound M16 rifle for 12 miles straight. Fun right?! XD Now that that's over, here at my AIT, its mostly classroom work, like college. Wake up, do a morning formation, do morning exercises, eat chow at the DFAC (Dining Facility), and go to class. This will be interesting. At least I can get my phone on the weekends to talk to you all and to MAYBE upload art. Which will lead me to my next point.
Art (Traditional and Digital)
As of right now, it next to impossible for me to do digital art right now. No scanners and I cant download art programs on my personal MILITARY laptop. So, I've been drawing traditionally for the past 3 months. I've been thinking for quite some time on if I should upload my drawings with my phone. Im not sure. My traditional art sucks XD I actually wanted to wait until I was done with AIT and started college (which I start in January), had a few anatomy courses and just come back with a completely new art style. Sounds crazy I know, but I'll see how things work out.
Social Life
I've been bunched up in a living space with 56 of the same guys for 2 months. It sucked =_= Now that I have freedom, money, and a car, I want to take some time out to travel around the United States (When I get more money, ill try to fly out to different sections of the world). If yall arent shy or even if you are shy, I would love to meet some of you crazy deviants out there ^^ Dont worry. Im a very friendly person. I can be an asshole, but all in all, im a nice and generous guy. Meeting you all on the web is and was amazing, but I'm curious to the faces behind these computer screens and characters.
Thats about it for my update folks. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, I'll be around all day.
P.S I just recently bought a PS Vita and I wasn't able to get Smash Bros for the 3DS! Im so pissed at that!

Mary's Meals
RUTHERGLEN, U K (Rutherglen Reformer) - St Brigid's pupils were certainly leaders of the pack recently.
They were involved in a bag-packing exercise that will send gifts and items to children in Malawi.
The kind-hearted youngsters sent a total of 121 bags to the country, in association with the Mary's Meals charity.
Each bag is filled with basic school supplies that can provide a huge boost to children in Malawi, which is one of the most poverty-stricken countries in the world.
The school's P6 teacher Margaret-Ann McCluskey felt the pupils all put in a superb effort to help out.
She said: "It was Primary six that organised the appeal, and the school really supported the appeal as a whole.
"We also had tremendous support from the local community and from the local parish, as the details of our appeal were read out in church and many locals wanted to help out after that.
"This is all about global citizenship for the pupils, and about getting them to think about other children that aren't as lucky as they are.
"The fact that so many children were helping out over lunch breaks and things like that shows just how enthusiastic they were about the backpack project.
"A special thanks goes to Leoni Orr and Lewis Campbell, who gave up their lunch breaks, collected backpacks and took gifts that had been handed in on their own without backpacks and organised them into backpacks too."
Most of the children who benefit from Mary's Meals and the backpack project have suffered war, poverty, famine, or natural disaster. Very often families cannot afford to buy basic things like pencils, copy books, or even suitable clothes for their children to wear to school, meaning their children miss out on school and an education.
A simple backpack with educational materials can be a lifeline to these children as studies show that an education is the best way a chronically poor child can escape poverty in later life.
Mary's Meals have been on the go since 1992, helping in many countries across the world.
Anyone interested in participating in the backpack project or looking for more information should contact Mary's Meals either through email@example.com or call 0800 698 1212.
