Disaster Readiness using NIM and GLVM Maryland AIXPower Users Group Wendy McConnell June 14, 2007 Why Disaster Readiness? Traditional Backups for DR mksysb to tape mkcd or mkdvd Drawbacks of Traditional Methods Off-site transportation risks Failed Media Cost of media NIM for Backups Benefits of NIM for DR Boot from NIM Master instead of tape/DVD is more reliable Once NIM Master is restored, multiple images can be pushed at once Network load is faster than media Drawbacks of NIM Server for DR Need to recover NIM servers at hot-site Need to recover images / NIM resources from TSM Can not begin image loads until NIM is fully ready (approx 5 hours) Remote NIM Master No need to recover NIM Master image at hot-site All LPP_SOURCES needed for recovery of contracted servers Latest SPOT for each Still requires TSM AIX level required restores of mksysb NIM Master ready to images use Solution – GLVM and Remote NIM Server Global Logical Volume Manager is now included with AIX (previously part of HACMP/GEO) Allows mirroring to remote DASD via TCP/IP connection Eliminates need to recover images from NIM TSM server Both server images and TSM database backups remotely mirrored GLVM & 2 NIM Servers dr_vg /dr_images and NIM Server in /tsmbkups NIM Server at Data Center 3 copies – one at Hot Site data center and 2 at hot site GLVM Client GLVM Server hdisk rpvserver0 GLVM uses TCP/IP 1 set of LUNs 2 sets of LUNs SAN at Data SAN at Hot Center Site Caveats Must create LVs with full strictness Each mirror copy must reside on a different set of "hdisks" While active, disks on remote server should not be accessed via conventional methods – they are unavailable to AIX commands. lsdev on remote server will show "rpvserver" devices – one for each disk under the control of GLVM What DR Looks Like dr_vg /dr_images and NIM Server in /tsmbkups NIM Server at Data Center 2 copies at hot site Hot Site GLVM Server rpvserver0 – GLVM Client disabled hdisk DASD accessed as If disaster, TCP/IP hdisks link is gone 1 set of LUNs 2 sets of LUNs If exercise – TCP/IP link SAN at Data remains, and one set of SAN at Hot Center rpvservers continues Site mirroring data while other is removed from GLVM usage at "disaster date" What Happens at DR Time? If an exercise, politely remove one set of LV mirrors from the dr_vg volume group Change the rpvserver devices on the remote NIM server to a defined state. Import the dr_vg volume group on the remote nim server using the any of the hdisks that were once a rpvserver Vary on the volume group and mount filesystems – images now available What Happens at DR Time? - contd Clients to be recovered are added as NIM machine resources Images in newly mounted filesystem are made NIM mksysb resources Clients are set to perform a NIM bos_inst from mksysb Clients are booted from NIM server over network and images begin to load Benefits Have been able to shave about 5 – 7 hours from recovery time – depending on number of servers included in exercise Tapes are no longer an issue TSM backups of images are still available in the event an image is damaged All TSM database backups available via disk instead of tape – additional time savings So, What's Required? DASD – enough on the local SAN to hold the mksysb images for the servers to be recovered at the hot site as well as any "backup software" database backups desired DASD – enough on the remote SAN for 2 copies of the mksysb images and "backup software" database backups kept on the local SAN So, What's Required? Network Bandwidth – GLVM syncs just like LVM – so the pipe between the local and remote sites must be big enough to keep the mirrors in synch Proper tuning of time-out values for the GLVM clients depending on network flow Monitoring – whatever monitoring system in use should watch for stale partitions So, What's Required? Servers – remote server needs to be large enough to push the number of images desired Control of mksysb image sizes – make use of the /etc/exclude.rootvg files to exclude anything that would not be useful in a DR situation (i.e. we exclude accounting software) Questions ??

Pre-Order Crysis 3 to Receive Free Digital Download of the Original Crysis Game
Electronic Arts Inc. and developer Crytek GmbH, today announced that fans who pre-order Crysis 3 will receive a free digital download copy of the original Crysis game for Xbox 360, PS3 or PC*. Lauded by GameSpot as "One of the greatest shooters ever made" and universally hailed upon its release for breaking new ground with jaw-dropping visuals, industry leading technology and sandbox gameplay, Crysis thrusts players into the middle of a global conflict between the U.S. and North Korea over a mysterious artifact that turns out to be extraterrestrial in nature. In Crysis, players are outfitted with the series signature Nanosuit and an arsenal of fully customizable weapons that provide a wide array of options not only for the games story missions but also every single objective and individual encounter. In addition, those that pre-order Crysis 3 will receive the Crysis 3 Hunter Edition, giving fans a head start in multiplayer with immediate access to the powerful new Predator bow and the Hunter Nanosuit module and more**.
"The release of Crysis in 2007 was truly a watershed moment for first-person shooters and raised the bar on cutting-edge visuals and gameplay and we could not be more thrilled to include the original game as a pre-order bonus," said Cevat Yerli, Chief Executive Officer of Crytek. "Building upon the framework laid by the previous games, Crysis 3 offers unparalleled tactical freedom as players experience New York City's Seven Wonders and adapt to the truly unique challenges they present. By blending the best elements of the series so far, we've created an action experience that we believe will blow fans away."
Powered by Crytek's proprietary CryENGINE, Crysis 3 advances the state of the art with unparalleled visuals and dynamic shooter gameplay. Players take on the role of 'Prophet' as he returns to New York, only to discover that the city has been encased in a Nanodome created by the corrupt Cell Corporation. The New York City Liberty Dome is a veritable urban rainforest teeming with overgrown trees, dense swamplands and raging rivers. Within the Liberty Dome, seven distinct and treacherous environments become known as the Seven Wonders. This dangerous new world demands advanced weapons and tactics. Prophet will utilize a lethal composite bow, an enhanced Nanosuit and devastating alien tech to become the deadliest hunter on the planet.
The Crysis 3 Hunter Edition gives players tools to become the ultimate hunter in multiplayer with instant access to the new signature Predator bow and its attachments plus the Hunter Nanosuit module, which adds additional power and functionality to the super-suit. Owners of the Crysis 3 Hunter Edition will also have a head start when playing online with a bonus XP boost up to level 5, a unique Predator bow skin and three exclusive dog tags to hunt in style. The Crysis 3 Hunter Edition is available on Origin.com and other participating retailers for $59.99.
Crysis 3 will be available in February of 2013 for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, PlayStation3 computer entertainment system and PC. For more information on Crysis 3, please visit crysis.com, and for the latest news visit facebook.com/crysis or follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/crysis.

My favorite was Best of Enemies, a documentary about the TV debates between William Buckley and Gore Vidal during the 1968 presidential nominating conventions. It is being released later this month.

 Greg Mankiwhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784288.post-70483053217048224942015-07-02T15:51:00.000-04:002015-07-06T16:31:14.612-04:00A Common Error in PedagogyI happened to be flipping through another introductory economics textbook. (Yes, some people have the temerity to try to compete with my favorite textbook.) I noticed an error that is, unfortunately, all too common in how introductory economics is taught. I won't mention which book it is, because I am quite fond of the authors, and because my goal here is not to pick on one particular book but rather to draw attention to a more pervasive problem.

The issue is how one applies welfare economics to understand price controls, such as rent control and minimum-wage laws.

The sin that this book makes is to look at consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss as if we were studying the welfare cost of a tax. The cost of a price control, the reader is taught, is the small Harberger triangle between the supply and demand curves.

This reasoning is problematic because it assumes perfect rationing. But rationing under price controls is never perfect. Under rent control, for example, apartments do not automatically go to those who value the apartments the most. The misallocation due to imperfect rationing makes the actual welfare cost of price controls much higher than the standard deadweight loss triangle.

In many cases, economists are deeply skeptical of price controls. If the costs of price controls were similar to those of taxes, I suspect that this skepticism would be substantially less. By applying off-the-shelf welfare analysis to price controls without thinking through the inefficiency of most rationing systems, teachers of introductory economics mislead their students about the effects of these policies.

Addendum: Here is a relevant paper on the topic.Greg Mankiwhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784288.post-43448912310888702742015-06-29T18:58:00.000-04:002015-06-29T18:58:46.230-04:00A Primer on the Greek CrisisMy friend Anil Kashyap summarizes what's been happening.Greg Mankiwhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784288.post-32821220971592819122015-06-22T12:21:00.001-04:002015-06-22T12:21:09.257-04:00David Ricardo and the TPPA great read from Roger Lowenstein.Greg Mankiwhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784288.post-8349214573881295292015-06-14T11:07:00.001-04:002015-06-15T08:24:57.674-04:00The Export-Import BankI just got back from Utah, where I was one of the speakers at a conference that has been dubbed "Club Mitt." One of the other speakers--this one a politician rather than a nerdy academic like me--spoke about the need to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank. (I won't mention the person's name, since the event is off the record.) What struck me is how weak the arguments were.

Three arguments for the Ex-Im Bank were given:

1. It creates jobs. Of course it does! If the government were to put the names of all businesses into a hat, pull out a few randomly, and give those a per unit subsidy, those businesses would expand and hire more workers. That would not make it a good policy, however, because the wrong jobs would be created.

2. It returns money to the Treasury. Really? If the bank were truly a profitable venture, we could privatize it. I bet if the government tried to sell off the Ex-Im Bank, it wouldn't get much, if anything at all. If the Bank's activity were actually profitable, we wouldn't need a government-run bank to do it.

3. Other countries give similar subsidies to their firms. So what? If other nations engage in corporate welfare, that is no reason for the United States to follow suit in the name of a level playing field. We don't need to import other nations' bad policies.

Maybe there are better arguments for the Export-Import Bank. But if this is the best advocates of the Bank can do, it shouldn't be reauthorized.Greg Mankiwhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784288.post-76755575055529886042015-06-11T11:40:00.002-04:002015-06-11T11:40:21.846-04:00Congratulations, Doug!From ec 10 section leader to...(a few other jobs along the way)...to Dean of the Kennedy School.

The NY Times reports:

For investors in hedge funds, like big pension funds, 2014 was not a lucrative year. But for those who managed their money, the pay was spectacular.

The top 25 hedge fund managers reaped $11.62 billion in compensation in 2014, according to an annual ranking published on Tuesday by Institutional Investor's Alpha magazine.

That collective payday came even as hedge funds, once high-octane money makers, returned on average low-single digits. In comparison, the benchmark Standard & Poor's 500-stock index posted a gain of 13.68 percent last year when reinvested dividends were included....

For investors, 2014 was the sixth consecutive year that hedge funds have fallen short of stock market performance, returning only 3 percent on average.

CEA Chair Jason Furman, however, writes the following:

The starting point of TPP is the contrast between U.S. tariffs and those of our partner countries. Our trade-weighted average applied tariff rate is 1.4 percent and 70 percent of imports already enter our economy duty free. In contrast, on average, our TPP partners report simple average applied tariffs 1.5 percentage points higher than our equivalent rate. In some TPP countries, average tariffs are up to 4 percentage points higher, though this difference masks considerable industry-specific variation; the United States faces tariffs of up to 30 percent on auto exports to Malaysia and 40 percent on agricultural goods to Vietnam. Many TPP countries also have substantially higher non-tariff barriers, particularly in the area of services trade, where the United States maintains a strong comparative advantage. As a result, TPP will disproportionately decrease foreign barriers to U.S. exports....

The most comprehensive estimates of the benefits of TPP are those of Peter Petri, Michael Plummer, and Fan Zhai, who employ an 18-sector, 24-region computable general equilibrium model to simulate policy changes in more than twenty different areas including tariffs, non-tariff barriers, and rules governing foreign direct investment. They find that by 2025, TPP would raise U.S. incomes by 0.4 percent per year, the equivalent of $77 billion in 2007 dollars, although the actual estimate could vary somewhat depending on the details of the agreement and alternative modelling assumptions. The European Union has said that the United States would gain a comparable amount from T-TIP. Some have described these totals as small, but I think I would risk losing my license to offer economic advice if I counseled anyone to leave $77 billion lying on the sidewalk each year.

Via Nicholas Kristof:

"A broad liberal arts education is a key pathway to success in the 21st-century economy," says Lawrence Katz, a labor economist at Harvard. Katz says that the economic return to pure technical skills has flattened, and the highest return now goes to those who combine soft skills — excellence at communicating and working with people — with technical skills.

"So I think a humanities major who also did a lot of computer science, economics, psychology, or other sciences can be quite valuable and have great career flexibility," Katz said. "But you need both, in my view, to maximize your potential. And an economics major or computer science major or biology or engineering or physics major who takes serious courses in the humanities and history also will be a much more valuable scientist, financial professional, economist, or entrepreneur."

I am not so sure about the paucity of libertarians, but even so, I doubt that Rand Paul is the best representative of that group.

Similar to Krugman, I would define a libertarian voter as one who leans left on social issues (such as same-sex marriage) and right on economic issues (such as taxes and regulation). I certainly put myself in that camp, and I don't think I am as lonely as Krugman suggests. I meet lots of students with similar views (though, admittedly, Harvard students are hardly a representative sample of voters).

Nonetheless, I think libertarian candidates face several challenges. In particular, the Republican party has traditionally relied on an uneasy coalition of economic and social conservatives. A libertarian candidate would need to put together a very different coalition.

Rand Paul does not seem ready to do that. He has come out opposed to same-sex marriage, for example. He is unlikely to put together a new coalition with that position.

Many libertarian voters I know (including those students) often vote for Democratic candidates because they weight the social issues more than the economic ones. I usually vote for Republican candidates because I weight the economic issues more than the social ones.

One reason is that I don't view the Democratic Party as a leader on social issues. Remember that Bill Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act. Barack Obama was against same-sex marriage when he ran for President, and then he "evolved" (aka flip-flopped) on the issue. On this social issue and many others, our elected leaders are really followers. The leaders are the American people.Greg Mankiwhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784288.post-13646579943308104442015-04-06T14:17:00.000-04:002015-04-06T14:17:17.089-04:00Interview with Dani RodrikHere.Greg Mankiwhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

I'm more talking about things like this. Also, please ignore the quality of the images, remember I was just a guest/relative taking these photos and now using them as an example.
The first one is what I'm talking about; there's a shadow, but it's not took strong, almost bordering on acceptable. Could be easily shopped out.
The second one is what I would class as a crappy shadow, just shouldn't be there.
I prefer the second picture though, just need to crop my wife out from the right and would have been nice to have the light behind the bride & groom off, or not there at all, but sure

I am no professional and never aim to be so don't take what I am saying with any factual experience behind it, these are just my opinions. Exposing yourself to criticism in your pictures is however the best way to improve, hopefully someone can come in with some actual advice on how to ease your shadow problem in a candid environment.

Get Happy
Have you heard of this guy named Luis Gutierrez? On the tip of your brain? That may be because New Times recently wrote a cover story on the guy (Paint on a Happy Face, Malia Politzer, December 31, 2009). With a resume that includes the Heard Museum, the Phoenix Art Museum, and the Smithsonian, Gutierrez has much to be proud of. Not to mention the forty-year old thrives in spite of his multiple sclerosis. Known for delightfully bright color schemes, simplistic figures, and biting subject matter, his paintings are instantly recognizable.

Chicago Bears sign former CFL longsnapper to a three year deal
It is not a sexy pick, but let's be real a long snapper is important. I was a field goal kicker and I could not have done it without him. Well today the Chicago Bears signed a longsnapper to a three year contract. This is usually not considered news, but when a CFL player lands a deal in the NFL it should be noted.
Chad Rempel a former Montreal Alouettes longsnapper could now be considered a starter. It is not easy to make it as a longsnapper, but you have to love that the guy has worked his tail off to get to the NFL.
Rempel reunites with former coach Marc Trestman in Chicago. His signing could signal veteran longsnapper Patrick Mannelly will not be back with the Bears in 2014. Mannelly has played 16 straight seasons in Chicago. Which is an amazing stat, if you ask a Chicago Bears fan he might not even know who Mannelly is…..
Now you see why we write an article on a longsnapper, Congrats Chad Rempel!Do you follow the NFL Draft? If so follow NFL Draft Diamonds on Twitter and Facebook for up to date NFL Draft News, NFL Draft Projections, and NFL Draft Rankings. Jesus is the only way to Salvation

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 10/26/12
The absence of a certified closer hurt Detroit for the first time in the postseason Thursday night, and it's something Jim Leyland is going to have to deal with if the Tigers are to get out of their 0-2 hole to San Francisco and win the World Series. Some people will recall that Leyland dealt with not having a bona fide closer with his quality Pittsburgh Pirates teams of the late 1980s and early 1990s. He mixed and matched and won games on a regular basis. But he hasn't been shy about pointing out this month that it makes it a whole lot easier on a manager if he has one guy he can summon from the bullpen to get the last three outs of games on a regular basis. With Jose Valverde, who's been excellent finishing games for the Tigers for the better part of three seasons, having been removed from his closing role because of three straight poundings, Leyland has been scrambling to find bullpen solutions. Detroit lost to San Francisco 2-0 Thursday night. And while getting shut out ...

An American tourist who vanished from northern Australia five years ago, with his kayak found submerged near a beach, has been discovered alive by police investigating a burglary.
