HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Asian stocks rose sharply Monday on news Spain would seek a bailout for its banks, the health of which has been a source of much global anxiety, although analysts said upcoming Greek elections were likely to keep markets on edge.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index (HSI) ended 2.4% higher, its best one-day percentage advance since mid-January, while Japan's Nikkei Stock Average (100000018) climbed 2%, extending gains after snapping a nine-week losing streak last week.
South Korea's Kospi (SEU) and Taiwan's Taiex (Y9999) each gained 1.7%.
China's Shanghai Composite (000001) rose 1.1%, extending the small gains it recorded in morning trading, but still under-performing the region. The gains on the mainland came after data released over the weekend showed exports and imports growing, but inflation cooling more rapidly than expected amid an economic slowdown. Read more about the weekend Chinese data.
Australian equity markets were shut for the Queen's Birthday.
The broad advances reflected an easing over European jitters after Spain's Finance Minister Luis de Guindos said the country is seeking European Union loans for as much as 100 billion euros ($125 billion) to help its struggling banking sector. See report on Spanish bank aid.
The bailout news "has significantly shifted the bias of markets this week, with risk assets buoyed and safe-haven assets pressured," said Mitul Kotecha, global head of foreign-exchange strategy at Credit Agricole. "However, plenty of event risk remains, not least of which is the outcome of Greek elections at the weekend."
The advance in Asia followed a higher finish Friday in the U.S. U.S. stock-index futures were sharply higher during Hong Kong late afternoon hours, pointing to likely further gains on Wall Street. Dow Jones Industrial Average
Major movers
Monday's gains in Asia were broad-based across the region, highlighted in Hong Kong by a 6.1% rally in shares of China Life Insurance Co.
The jump in Unicom shares came on news that its unlisted parent has acquired a 4.56% stake in the company from Telefonica S.A.
Shares of diversified Wharf Holdings Ltd. (4)

Over in Seoul, blue-chip exporters were also outperformers, with SK hynix Inc.
adding 6% to its value — helped also by a reported chip-development alliance with IBM Corp.
Most regional markets appeared to largely shrug off the mixed bag of Chinese economic data released over the weekend showing a broadly softening economy despite a strong trade account.
But trading in mainland Chinese stocks was choppy, with some banks retreating on lingering worries their interest-rate margins would be hurt by last week's rate cut from the People's Bank of China (PBOC).
"The first day after PBOC cut interest rates and lifted the deposit rate ceiling ... many banks announced they were moving to a higher deposit ceiling," May Yan, head of China banks at Barclays, wrote in a note to clients.
"We believe the swift action indicates fierce deposit competition, but the competition could moderate in the future. We expect rising deposit rates to have quick negative impact on net interest margins, while the lending-rate decline should be gradual and could be partially mitigated by loan-mix shift into high-yield lending," Yan said.
Shares of Agricultural Bank of China Ltd. (601288) dropped 0.4% in Shanghai, and China Minsheng Banking Corp. (600016)
A few airline stocks also lost ground amid a weakening demand outlook. Air China Ltd.

Fulham have signed Brighton winger Anthony Knockaert on a season-long loan, with a view to a permanent deal.
The Frenchman, 27, spent three-and-a-half years at Brighton, scoring 27 goals in 139 appearances.
Former Leicester player Knockaert was named the EFL's Championship Player of the Year in 2017 as Albion won promotion to the Premier League.
"It feels amazing to be here. It just feels great to get this done and for me to be a Fulham player," he said.
"I have come here with the clear intention to get promoted and I want to help in any way that I can."
The clubs have agreed an undisclosed fee for Knockaert, with a permanent move to Scott Parker's side expected to go through next summer.
He also reached the Premier League with Leicester in 2014, spending six months with Belgian club Standard Leige before returning to England with Brighton in 2016.
Fulham vice-chairman Tony Khan told the club website: "Anthony's been one of our top targets for the past several years, and I'm thrilled that he's come to Fulham to play for our great supporters."

Silver and Gold have a way of really bringing the look and feel of the Christmas season.
Silver and Gold also seem to represent something of greater value.
We are now into the final three articles of the 12 Days of pre-Christmas. And with these three articles, I hope to bring something that is of more value than anything shared so far.
Of course, the value of these articles is subjective. I have my opinion as to why these are more valuable. I hope to convey that opinion as best as possible to help bring out as much value as can be garnered from these articles.
Let's first recap what we have to date.
- Death and Destruction, err Deadlocks – 9th Day
- SSRS Schedules – 8th Day
- Runaway Jobs – 7th Day
- Maintenance Plan Gravage – 6th Day
- Table Compression – 5th Day
- Exercise for msdb – 4th Day
- Backup, Job and Mail History Cleanup – 3rd Day
- Service Broker Out of Control – 2nd Day
- Maint Plan Logs – 1st Day
On the Tenth Day of pre-Christmas…
My DBA gave me an education. Sure, everyday so far in this series could possibly be an education. This is an education via a lab. Every DBA should have a lab to be able to test features and hone skills. A lab is a better place to do some of the testing that needs done than the DEV, QA, or even Production environments.
Think about it, do we really want to be testing the setup of clustering in the DEV environment and potentially impact the development cycle? I'd dare so no.
Unfortunately, reality does not always allow for a lab environment to be accessible to the DBA. So the DBA needs to make do with other means. It is due to these types of constraints, that I am devoting the next three days to the setup of a lab. This lab can even be created on a laptop. I created this lab on my laptop with only 8GB of ram. I was quite pleased to see that it performed well enough for my testing purposes.
We will begin with an introduction to the technology used – VirtualBox. I will also discuss the creation of enough virtual machines to create a SQL Cluster (domain controller, two sql boxes, and a NAS) along with the configuration steps to ensure it will work.
For this lab, we will be using Virtual Box. You can download Virtual Box here. And yes, the tool is one that is provided by Oracle. Two of the reasons I want to use Virtual Box is the ability to install multiple operating systems, and the tool is currently free. Another benefit is that I can easily import virtual machines created in VMWare as well as Microsoft Virtual Server/Virtual PC (I have not tested any created in Hyper-V).
While you are downloading the Virtual Box app, download the Extension Pack as well. Links are provided for the extension pack on the same page as the application download. Be sure to download the Extension Pack for the version of Virtual Box you download.
The version of VirtualBox I will be using for this article is 4.2.2. As of the writing of this article a new version has been released – 4.2.6. The differences in versions may cause the instructions in these articles to be inaccurate for 4.2.6. You can use whichever version you deem appropriate. I just won't be covering version 4.2.6 and don't know if the screens are different or it the settings are different.
You can check your version in the Help.About Menu.
For this lab, we have a few things that will be required prior to setting up the SQL Cluster. Two big components of this infrastructure are Storage and a Domain. We are going to simulate shared storage through the use of FreeNAS. We will be discussing FreeNAS today.
For starters, we can download FreeNAS from here. You might be able to find a few configuration guides online for FreeNAS. Most of them seemed to be for really old versions and were less than usable for the version that I had downloaded. All settings to be discussed today are pertinent to FreeNAS-8.3.0-RELEASE-x64 (r12701M).
To setup FreeNAS, we will need to have a Virtual Machine configured with the following settings.
- A BSD VM with FreeBSD as the version.
- Ensure the motherboard settings only has the "Enable IO APIC" setting checked.
- Three Virtual Disks (1 for NAS OS, 1 for SAN Storage, and another for a Quorum)
- 512 MB memory
- 2 Network Adapters (1 Internal and 1 connected to the Host-Only Adapter)
Despite the FreeNAS actual disk requirements being rather small, any fixed disk size less than 2GB causes mount errors. Any amount of memory less than 512MB also causes a mount problem. These settings are the minimum configurations to save the hair on your head.
The Network Adapters is more of a strong suggestion. I was able to get it to work with only one adapter, but it was more hassle than it was worth. I found it easier to configure for use by the cluster later if I had two adapters. The two adapter configuration also allows me easier administration from within the VM environment as well as from the host machine.
One other thing to do is to mount the FreeNAS ISO that has been downloaded to the CD drive that is created by default with the VM creation. I mount the ISO before booting by opening the settings for the VM within Virtual Box. On the storage screen, highlight the "Empty" CD Icon in the middle then click on the CD Menu Icon on the far right as shown below.
Navigate to the folder where the FreeNAS ISO is saved and then click ok until you are back at the Virtual Box manager screen. You are now ready to start the machine and finish the install and then configure.
Once powered on, you should eventually come to the following screen.
Select to Install/Upgrade. From here, you will see a few more prompts such as the next screen to select the installation location.
This should be pretty straight forward installation options for the IT professional. I will not cover all of the installation prompts. Once the install is finished, you will need to reboot the VM and un-mount the installation media. The system will then come to the following screen.
Now that we are at the console screen, the next step is to configure the Network Interfaces. You can see that I have already done this based on the IP addresses seen at the bottom of the screen. I will leave the configuration of the IP addresses to you. Both the internal network and the host-only network will need to be configured. The host network should be the second adapter. Keep track of the IP addresses that have been configured. We will need to use them later.
In a browser window we will now start configuring the storage to be used by our Lab. In the address bar, we will need to input the address we configured for the host network. In my case, 192.168.56.103. When that page loads, the first thing we need to do is change the Admin password.
The default password is empty. Pick a password you will remember and that is appropriate. With that done, we can configure the storage.
The Next setting, I want to configure is the iSCSI setting. In order to use the volumes that we create, we must enable the iSCSI service. In the top section, click the Services button. This will open a new tab in the web browser. On the Services tab, we need to toggle the slider for iSCSI to the "ON" position as shown in the image.
Once toggled, we can configure the iSCSI settings for the volumes we will now create. From here, we click on the storage tab. Next, click on the Volume Manager Button. In order for the disks to be imported, we have to use volume manager. The Import Volume and Auto Import Volume must serve other purposes – but they don't work for importing a new volume. Here is a screenshot demonstrating what needs to be configured.
With the Volume created, a ZFS volume must next be created from within the storage management. We do this by clicking the "Create ZFS Volume" icon next to the main volume we just created. This icon is illustrated as the icon on the far right in the next image.
Once that icon is clicked, you will be presented with a new dialog. The dialog is demonstrated in the above image. Give the Volume a Name and then give it a size. Note that you must specify a storage unit (m or g for example) or you will receive a pretty red error message.
Now go back to the Services tab where we enabled iSCSI. There is a wrench icon next to the toggle to enable the service. Click on this wrench and a new tab will be opened (again within the FreeNAS webgui) and the focus will be switched to this new tab. On the "Target Global Configuration" ensure that Discovery Auth Method is set to "Auto." If it is not, make the change and click save at the bottom.
Next is the Portals. The portals should be empty so we will need to add a portal. By default, only one IP address is displayed for configuration on a new Portal entry. We want to configure two IP addresses. First, select 0.0.0.0 from the IP Address drop down on the new window that opened when clicking on "Add Portal." Then select "Add extra Portal IP".
Next is to configure an Initiator. For this lab, I created on Initiator specifying ALL for the Initiators and Authorized Network as shown here.
With an initiator and a portal in place, we now proceed to the configuration of the Targets. I have configured three targets and the main difference is in the name. They should be configured as shown here.
Almost done with the setup for the storage. It will all be well worth it when we are done. We need to configure Device Extents and then Associate the targets, then we will be done.
Like with the Targets, I have three device extents configured. The configuration for each is the same process. I want to give each a name that is meaningful and then associate the extent to a disk that we imported earlier.
Last for this setup is the Target to Extent association. This a pretty straight forward configuration. I named my targets the same as extents so there was no confusion as to which should go with which.
That wraps up the configurations needed to get the storage working so we can configure a cluster later on. Just getting through this configuration is a pretty big step in getting the lab created for use in your studies and career enhancement.
Next up in this series is to show how to configure (in limited detail) a domain and DNS, and then to install and configure a cluster. Stay tuned and I will even through in a few tidbits here and there about Virtual Box.
I didn't include every screenshot possible throughout the setup of FreeNAS and the configuration of iSCSI. Part of the fun and education of a lab is troubleshooting and learning as you go. If you run into issues, I encourage you to troubleshoot and research. It will definitely strengthen your skill-set.

According to the webhoster:
So this site and all other affiliated sites to this one will be down for approximately 12 to 24 hours on Sept. 22 (GMT -5).* Your server will be hosted in modern environmentally-friendly datacenter, thanks to the hydro-electric capabilities, provided by the Niagara Falls;
* Superior connectivity, provided by fully-redundant multitiered 10GE network with excellent throughput and low latency to both Europe and the US, due to strategically beneficial location on the East Coast (New York).
Migration itself incurs up to 24 hours of downtime. Unfortunately, this is the fastest and most trouble-free way to accomplish this.
IP addresses of your server will change. You will have to update your DNS records and, possibly, DNS server settings for your domains.
Our webmaster will handle all the DNS and other technical work required. He has also stated that he might be able to have the sites up on Sept. 22 as a 'read-only' that is we won't be able to make posts, but we might be able to at least read some posts from the previous days until all sites are back up online at the end of the day or early Sept. 23 (New York time).

A neoconservative (colloquially, neocon) in American politics is someone presented as a "conservative" but who actually favors big government, globalism, interventionism, perpetual war, police state, gun control, and a hostility to religion in politics and government. The word means "newly conservative," and thus formerly liberal. A neocon is a RINO Backer, and like RINOs does not accept most of the important principles in the Republican Party platform. Neocons do not participate in the March for Life, nor stand up for traditional marriage, advocate other conservative social values, or emphasize putting America first. Neocons support attacking and even overthrowing foreign governments, despite how that often results in more persecution of Christians. Some neocons (like Dick Cheney) have profited immensely from the military-industrial complex and their pro-war positions. Many neocons are globalists and support the War on Sovereignty.
Many neocons focus on the Middle East, often invoking Israel as a justification for endless war when in fact the true central justification is to protect the Saudi regime and the petrodollar. They also favor arming terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda and ISIS in order to achieve their foreign policy goals.
The centerpiece of neocon strategy was to invade Iraq, which left a predictable vacuum that resulted in the murder of many Christians there and the rise of ISIS. During the presidential Republican primaries in 2016, Donald Trump humiliated the neocons' insistence on the Iraq War, exposed the neocon claim of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq as a lie, and routed the neocon-supported Marco Rubio in his home state of Florida by a wide margin. Despite this, the mainstream media continues to treat neocons as "experts."[1]
British rock star Mick Jagger released a vulgar song criticizing the neocons entitled "My Sweet Neocon," but he ineptly confused neocons with the Christian Right: "You call yourself a Christian ...."[2]
Many older neocons had been liberals in their youth and admired President Franklin D. Roosevelt, while younger neocons are more economically conservative than Roosevelt but like to downplay the social issues. In 2010 the highest priority of the neoconservatives was to increase military action by the United States in the Middle East and Afghanistan, and to expand it to an American confrontation against Iran; in 2011 their goals include supporting a military attack on Libya, continuing the Afghanistan War indefinitely, and even suggesting military action against Syria. There is a revolving door between some neocons and highly paid positions in the defense industry, which may explain the constant neoconservative demands for more wars.
In the European nations of Britain and France, neoconservatives and globalists dominate "right"-leaning politics, but in the United States neocons are less influential than the conservative movement. For example, neocons begrudgingly supported Mitt Romney as the Republican nominee for President in 2012, even though he was not their first choice and Romney has never supported the neocon agenda.
Neoconservatives tend to oppose the appointment of social conservatives to high governmental positions, such as nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. Neoconservatives support candidates who are liberal on social issues instead.
Neoconservatives favor expensive foreign interventionism with massive federal spending, often to replace a dictator with a new system of government that may be worse. Sometimes this is expressed as a desire to install a democracy in a culture that may be incompatible with it. The neoconservative position was discredited in the failure of democracy in the Iranian elections of 2009.
The neoconservative movement emerged in the mid-1970s, played a limited role in the Ronald Reagan Administration, and then had a voice in the Defense Department under the George W. Bush Administration after 9/11. Neoconservatives were prominent in the Bush Administration by supporting an interventionist domestic policy they called "compassionate conservatism" and a strong foreign policy, and especially favored the Iraq War and its efforts to spread democracy worldwide.
Some prominent spokesmen include Bill Kristol, Paul Wolfowitz, Lewis Libby, Norman Podhoretz, Charles Krauthammer, Richard Perle, Robert Kagan, Christopher Hitchens, Bernard Lewis, Stephen Schwartz, Elliott Abrams, Ben Wattenberg and Carl Gershman.
In contrast to traditional conservatives, neoconservatives favor globalism, downplay religious issues and differences, are unlikely to actively oppose abortion and homosexuality. Neocons disagree with conservatives on issues such as classroom prayer, the separation of powers, cultural unity, and immigration. Neocons favor a strong active state in world affairs.
On foreign policy, neoconservatives believe that democracy can and should be installed by the United States around the world, even in Muslim countries such as Iraq, Iran, and Syria.
Dual origins
One major strand of Neoconservatism emerged from a group of New York intellectuals, many of whom attended City College of New York in the late 1930s, a group that includes Irving Kristol, Daniel Bell, Seymour Martin Lipset and Nathan Glazer.[3] Many of this group came to despise the counterculture of the 1960s and what they felt was a growing "anti-Americanism" among many baby boomers. During the Cold War era, most vigorously opposed the Stalinist regime.[4] Kristol described a neoconservative as a "liberal mugged by reality".
Paleoconservatives, who dislike Neoconservatism intensely, have argued that it emerged from Trotskyite theories, especially the notion of permanent revolution. There are four fundamental flaws in the paleoconservatives' attack: most of the neoconservatives were never Trotskyites; none of them ever subscribed to the right-wing Socialism of Max Shachtman; the assertion that neoconservatives subscribe to "inverted Trotskyism" is misleading; and neoconservatives advocate democratic globalism, not permanent revolution.[5]
A second main line of development of neoconservatism was strongly influenced by the work of German-American political philosopher Leo Strauss. Some of Strauss' students include Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork, former Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, former Assistant Secretary of State Alan Keyes, former Secretary of Education William Bennett, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol, political philosopher Allan Bloom, former New York Post editorials editor John Podhoretz, former National Endowment for the Humanities Deputy Chairman John T. Agresto; political scientist Harry V. Jaffa; and Nobel Prize winning novelist Saul Bellow.
Neoconservatives also tend to minimize or overlook the significance of religious beliefs in conflicts and policies, as in advocating the installation of democracy in Muslim countries with little regard for Islamic beliefs and practices.
Neoconservatives hold an idealistic belief in social progress and the universality of human rights, coupled with anti-Communism. They hold the view that there is a universal desire to live in a technologically advanced and prosperous society and liberal democracy is one of the byproducts of such modernization.
Neoconservatives, who hold Marxist views on "shaping the world," strongly oppose nationalism.[6]
The leading publications of neoconservatives since the 1970s have been Commentary, The Public Interest (founded by Daniel Bell and Irving Kristol) and The Weekly Standard. Many Washington think tanks, such as the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), the Project For New American Century (PNAC), Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) and Henry Jackson Society are now dominated by neoconservatives.
Social Issues
Neoconservatives positions on social issues are mixed with some holding to liberal positions on social matters, and are unlikely to agree with religious conservatives on issues like abortion, prayer in school and same-sex "marriage". Other neoconservatives of the Straussian type tend to have greater degrees of agreement with religious and cultural conservatives on social issues. Neoconservatives differ from libertarians in that neoconservatives tend to support big government policies to further their objectives, and to support Bush's 2001 Patriot act.
Neoconservatives often describe themselves as "conservative". William Kristol, a leading neoconservative, described himself as the "token conservative" when he taught at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.[7]
In anticipation of vacancies on the U.S. Supreme Court, the neoconservatives urged on Bush the selection of Michael McConnell, a libertarian-leaning jurist, and J. Michael Luttig, who declared Roe v. Wade to be "super-stare decisis"[8] and later left the judiciary to become general counsel of Boeing.[9] Both were passed over in filling the vacancies and both left the judiciary entirely after missing their best chance for being appointed to the Supreme Court passed.
The term was coined by Socialist party leader Michael Harrington to describe the rightward turn of onetime liberals, and it was proudly accepted first by Irving Kristol then by most of the others.
Neoconservatives in the Obama era
Neoconservatives in the Obama era engineered both the rise of the Islamic State and the Syrian War which claimed in excess of 400,000 lives and created more than 6,000,000 homeless refugees abroad. They also inadvertently created the European migrant crisis.
The original intention of the neocons was regime change in Syria – the overthrow of Bashar Assad – without using American troops. Radical Islamic terrorists, many of their leaders supposedly "de-radicalized" while in American detention, were returned to their groups to form new militias armed and trained by American, Turkish, Saudi, and Qatari Special Operations Forces and advisors. By removing the Syrian Alawite regime aligned with Iran, the hope was to rid Syria of Hezbollah, a 10,000 man force which is directly under the command and control of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and deemed a threat to Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the Gulf states.
The Benghazi massacre however, slowed the progress of arming the Syrian jihadis, now dubbed "moderate rebels" by the Obama administration and its sycophantic media. The Syrian government gained popular support as the people of Syria witnessed foreign jihadis backed by the Obama administration and its allies, flood Syria with psychotic killers and weapons. With a quick resolution not in the offing, Russian troops intervened preventing the Obama administration from establishing a no-fly zone to aid its radical jihadis on the ground to overthrow the government, as had been done in Libya.
Neoconservatism and Donald Trump
Despite campaigning against endless foreign wars and a humanitarian-based foreign policy that promotes democracy, President Donald Trump appointed several internationalists and neoconservatives to his administration, including John Bolton and Mike Pompeo.
Alex Jones has claimed that neo-conservatives, as part of a deep state, have been fighting a civil war inside the United States Government in order to gain control of the government and influence President Donald Trump – himself, Paul Joseph Watson, and David Knight also claimed this throughout Infowars segments, and that the recent missiles launched against Assad were a result of the neo-conservatives attempting to control Donald Trump.
Stefan Halper, a neoconservative of the Bush Sr. era, colluded with Obama CIA Director John Brennan and FBI agent Peter Strzok to set-up Trump advisors Carter Page and George Papadopoulos as supposed agents of the Russia government, to initiate an FBI counterintelligence investigation and procure a FISA warrant to surveil the 2016 Trump campaign, Trump transition team, and well into the first year of the Trump Administration.

Ice cream mix is poured into a mould so that it acquires the shape of the mould when frozen. The moulding process delivers a fully frozen product – no hardening tunnel needed.
We offer equipment for both rotary and inline moulding, depending on the customer's priorities. Rotary moulding has the advantage of reducing product waste, while inline moulding allows for more process steps when producing complex products such as multiple flavour fillings.
What's unique about our moulding equipment is that we can fill product at minus 3°C – 5°C using a filling nozzle which starts at the bottom of the mould and gradually rises as the mould is filled. Since the liquid is highly viscous, it can easily carry inclusions. In addition, more air can be incorporated, giving it a pleasantly smooth mouth feel and less mix consumption. In fact, this technique makes it possible to produce a moulded ice cream of similar quality to an extruded or filled product. Filling such cold product also boosts capacity of the line!
In addition, we offer the most efficient stick inserter on the market! An investment in precision that quickly gives you instant payback by reducing produce waste.
Production is rendered even more efficient by our smart automation solutions, which sound the alarm if there is a malfunction in the machine, enabling the operator to intervene rapidly and correct it.
The Tetra Pak Moulder range consists of rotary moulded stick novelty machines: the Tetra Pak® Rotary Moulders models and in-line moulded stick novelty machines, and the Tetra Pak® Inline Moulder models.
High quality, creamy and mouth-watering stick products can be created using this accurate filler, which carries out the volumetric bottom filling of ice cream.
Stacking of wrapped ice cream or water-ice bars, ready for packing into cartons.
High capacity ice cream moulding Highest capacity on the market with multilane wrapping, 43,200 ice cream sticks per hour (30 strokes 24 lanes, 720 products per minute)
We can help you with your ice cream production. Contact us about moulding

You might have already heard that MapR, the leading provider of enterprise-grade Hadoop and friends, is launching its European operations.
Guess what? I'm joining MapR Europe as of January 2013 in the role of Chief Data Engineer EMEA and will support our technical and sales teams throughout Europe. Pretty exciting times ahead!
As an aside: as I recently pointed out, I very much believe that Apache Drill and Hadoop offer great synergies and if you want to learn more about this come and join us at the Hadoop Summit where my Drill talk has been accepted for the Hadoop Futures session.

Peru's football fortunes have rarely mirrored those of South American counterpart countries. They haven't qualified for the World Cup since 1982, and their U-20 youth squad has never gotten the nod for inclusion in that division's world championship. That could change with a strong performance in the CONMEBOL Youth Championship just underway in Argentina, though, and if they qualify they'll have goalkeeper Ángelo Campos to thank.
For sure, Campos got himself into a sticky situation late in last night's match against Uruguay. His attempt to play a long pass by coming out of the box ended up giving Uruguayan striker Gonzalo Bueno an open shot on the goal; Campos busted ass to keep it from crossing the goal line, then laid out to stop the rebound strike and preserve the 3-2 disadvantage—one erased when teammate Cristian Benavente drilled home a penalty in the 87th minute, earning Peru a point for the draw.

Shaun White in running for double-gold at X Games
the aspen times
For his last run of the night, Shaun White didn't attempt a trick.
Instead the Carlsbad, Calif., product waved to the crowd, and coasted down the superpipe, content with his second place finish.
He led after the first round of the snowboard superpipe event with an 88, and then Swiss competitor, Iouri Podladtchikov surpassed White by 0.33.
No matter, White will still compete for two gold medals this weekend.
White also qualified for the snowboard slopestyle final Thursday afternoon, but in a much different fashion than the superpipe. White was fifth after the first round with a 67.33.
His run was clean, highlighted by a switch backside 1080 and a half cab front side 1080. Defending gold medalist Mark McMorris, however, looked like he was a step above White.
McMorris calmly posted an 88.66 – the highest mark of the day.
Peetu Piiroinen of Finland, last year's bronze medalist, finished second with an 81.33, while White, 26, finished seventh after crashing during his second run on the third jump of the slopestyle course, attempting a cab 1260.
Last year's silver medalist, Sage Kotsenburg, of Park City, Utah, failed to qualify after falling on both of his runs and finishing 13.
White hasn't medaled in the slopestyle since 2009, and had to drop out of the competition last year because of a sprained ankle.
He will have to improve his tricks to keep pace with McMorris, who is seven years younger than White (19). The slopestyle final is Saturday at noon.
White will compete for his sixth straight gold medal in the superpipe Sunday at 7:45 p.m.
Basalt's Torin Yater-Wallace said last week he wasn't near where his ability would typically be after undergoing shoulder surgery in September.
He looked just fine in his first competition back Thursday morning on Buttermilk.
Yater-Wallace scored a 90 in his first run in the skiing superpipe event, and his score only eclipsed by the defending gold medalist, David Wise of Reno, Nevada in the final run of the day.
Aspen's Alex Ferreira – a former Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard club athlete – failed to qualify for tonight's final after falling on both runs. He wound up 13th in his first X Games appearance with a score of 37.
It was Yater-Wallace who proved to be undaunted after training for just a little more than five weeks, and not competing in a single event since last season. He opened his first run with a right side double cork 1260, then landed every trick afterward to claim the top spot from France's Kevin Rolland, who put up an 88 before Yater-Wallace took to the pipe.
In Yater-Wallace's second run, with the finals spot already locked up, he dialed the difficulty down a notch, and scored an 87.
Wise improved on his 87 in his first run with a 92 in the second to head into the final as the No. 1 qualifier.
Yater-Wallace looks to win his third medal in as many opportunities. Last year, he grabbed the bronze medal, and in 2011, as a 15 year-old, he took silver.
Kevin Rolland, the 2010 and 2011 gold medalist, qualified second with a first run score of 88. Tanner Hall, making a comeback to the games since having knee surgery in 2009 and becoming addicted to painkillers, failed to qualify with two uninspiring runs that produced scores of 66.33 and 69.33.
Last year's silver medalist, Noah Bowman, was held out of the finals by finishing ninth with a second round score of 70.66.
Due to deadlines, look for results from Friday night's final in Sunday's Summit Daily News.
Gretchen Bleiler, a four-time Winter X Games gold medalist, decided Wednesday evening to drop out of today's snowboard superpipe competition.
The Snowmass Village resident first announced her decision on Twitter midday Thursday and spoke Thursday night on ESPN about her decision.
Bleiler was due to compete despite shattering her eye socket during a trampoline session in June in Park City, Utah. It was a long journey back to being able to compete as the Snowmass Village resident struggled with double vision and vertigo resulting from surgery.
"Obviously a really tough decision for me," Bleiler told X Games host Ramona Bruland. "I love X Games, this is my hometown. I would love to just go out there and give everyone a good show.
"My vision is better, but I just need a little bit more time on snow. To compete at the X Games, this is the biggest stage. This is the best riding. You have the world's best athletes coming together, and you have to be in it 100 percent."
She told The Associated Press last week she wasn't planning any outlandish tricks and reserves the right to drop out at the last minute.
"From any traumatic injury, you're going to experience a lack of confidence," Bleiler told the AP. "There's a whole process you have to go through to break free of that."

Think about PUMPKIN
At one point today, I had a cup of pumpkin spice rooibos tea in hand, a plate of leftover pumpkin lasagna and a pumpkin butter vintage candle by Woodwick crackling in the corner. It was a magical fall moment, not to mention seeing the sunlit pumpkins at my favorite farmers market this morning. So, needless to say, … Continue reading

Aruba Instant 18.104.22.168-184.108.40.206 Released 11/27/2015
Download Here: Aruba Instant 188.8.131.52-188.8.131.52
Release Notes
Is this an upgrade for the IAP 135? I have several in place and just ordered (17) IAP 205's and the 205 won't join the 135's. Is this the upgrade I need for both?
Hi Candace,
This code version 220.127.116.11-184.108.40.206 is compatible with IAP 135's , 205's and many other IAP's.
ArubaInstant_Cassiopeia_220.127.116.11-188.8.131.52_52666 --->Aruba Instant code for IAP-134 and IAP-135
ArubaInstant_Taurus_126.96.36.199-18.104.22.168_52666 --->Aruba Instant code for IAP-204/205
If you already have a cluster of IAP 135's running 184.108.40.206, then while introducing the new 205's to the same cluster, you would have to make sure that the current code and country information on 205's are same as that of the IAP 135's, since both these IAP's run on different platforms.
These new units may come with a different code version. You would have to upgrade these 205's to 220.127.116.11, using this file "ArubaInstant_Taurus_188.8.131.52-184.108.40.206_52666" from the support site.
While you upgrade these new units, make sure you connect it to a different subnet than the existing IAP 135's.
**If connected to the same subnet (as that of 135's) , it will receive the master beacon from an IAP 135 (acting as Master) , but won't get the code . In such situation you would see these 205's stuck in slave state.
So, make sure you connect these devices to a different subnet, mention the correct country information (if its rest of the world ) and upgrade to the same version (188.8.131.52) as running in IAP-135's.
Once 205's are up with the new code version , you can unplug it from that subnet and plug it back to the 135's subnet . IAP-135 (master) should then show all these new IAP's under the AP section.
You won't have to repeat this process for further upgrades, once the 135's and 205's are part of same cluster , you would see a colomn added under Maintenance -> Firmware, that allows to add the files for both the platforms.
Anshul Bharthan
Hi, how can I download this firmware to upgrade my IAP-103? Is this the latest firmware available for IAP-103?
Whenever a new code is released, its uploaded for all supported platforms.
You need to login to support.arubanetworks.com --> Once you login --> Click Download software --> Under Navigator [+] Expand Aruba Instant --> General Availability --> Current Release --> Release 22.214.171.124-220.127.116.11 (latest) .
If you are looking for Release 126.96.36.199-22.214.171.124 , that should be under Archive in General Availability .
For IAP 103, you should be downloading:
That's the Instant code for RAP-108, RAP-109, IAP-114, IAP-115 and IAP-103
the Menu of Aruba is not quit well!
I can´t find the right way to my needed software download for switches. In my case it´s the sw for switch 2930F (JL256A)
If I choose service and software download, then I allways stopped at knowloge base. This is very silly.
How I can get the fitting link?
Best regards
can any one please give me link to download 184.108.40.206 os for aruba 7210 mobility controller.
Or guide me how to and where to download please.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – At 5-2-1, San Jose are off to their best start since the franchise's high-water mark, a three-year run from 2001-03 which included two MLS championships.
But to the current Quakes who stuck around or returned after San Jose's original MLS franchise decamped to Houston in 2006, there is no comparison.
"We're seven games in, eight games in," Quakes general manager John Doyle told MLSsoccer.com. "We have to continue playing well, and if three-quarters of the way through the season, we're still playing like we are – which I think will be – then I'll [talk about it]."
If the Quakes keep playing like this, the conversation won't wait for Doyle.
San Jose's best-ever regular season might have been 2005, when they lost only four times all season -- and just once in the final 22 matches -- en route to compiling 64 points and winning the Supporters' Shield.
But the team sports two stars above its logo because of the work done in 2001-03, when the team had a cumulative record of 41-25-18 and dusted off Los Angeles ('01) and Chicago ('03) in the MLS Cup matches.
"It's really early to make any comparisons," said goalkeeper Joe Cannon, who started on the 2001 and '02 San Jose teams before leaving for France. "That team had guys like a Landon [Donovan], [Jeff Agoos] and guys that got Defender of the Year, guys that you would call stars. This team has guys that are emerging. We're seeing a maturing of this group."
In some cases, such as the left-side tandem of Bobby Convey and Ramiro Corrales, it's been a re-emergence. But certainly players such as Chris Wondolowski (tied with Kei Kamara as the league's third-leading scorer with five goals) and Brandon McDonald (a key component of San Jose's defensive wall) have established themselves for the first time as full-time MLS starters.
"It's a totally different team and dynamic," said coach Frank Yallop, who was on the San Jose bench throughout 2001-03. "I think what you can do, you look at the way we played in '01 through '03, and it looks more like the team now that I had back then: hard-working, wide guys are putting the shift in, making sure it's difficult to play against us, two forwards who are really working hard to defend. And when we go forward, we go forward with pace and power. It looks similar."
One statistical similarity is a stingy defense. The 2001-03 Quakes had a cumulative GAA of 1.18. This year's model is sitting at a mark of 1.00 after four consecutive shutouts.
"The thing that we're happy with is that we're getting shutouts," said Doyle, who served as the team's TV color analyst in 2001-03. "That, to me, is big. We have good chemistry and the guys are good. The practices are spirited but not pissy. Guys are fighting hard and trying hard."
As Doyle knows, winning breeds more winning. For whatever reason, the match has been lit to the fuse of the 2010 Quakes in a fashion the franchise has often seen in the past.
"When you lose, everyone goes, 'You've just got to get more confidence.' Well, you've got to win to get the confidence, right?" Doyle said. "And then you win some games and it's great to see some of the players, like Jason Hernandez and Joe, some of the guys who've been here the three years, seeing them get to enjoy and get that confidence. And that only comes from winning some games."
That also brings the story back to Doyle's early point, which was that a nice eight-game stretch does not make up a full season. The 2005 Quakes opened 3-3-4, rebounded to go 15-1-6 the rest of the way, but then crashed and burned in the first round of the playoffs, losing 4-2 on aggregate to the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Past, therefore, is not necessarily prelude, both in the context of this single season and in a franchise's continuum as a whole.
"I said it last game, it's more like I want to play," Yallop said. "So we finally got there, but we don't want to take our foot off the gas. I think anything can happen in this league. You can lose your confidence. I told the guys, the reason we've had some good results are from our hard work, work rate, and not giving up. I think if you have all that in your mind before the game, you'll win games."

Welcome to a place for honest and candid discussion about what can work, what others have tried, and what is of value. The hope is to provide conversations about insider insights into effective enterprise apps strategies, vendor selection, and software contracts. With that in mind, a few macro trends drive the purpose of this blog:
- The pace of change in disruptive technologies impact business models, business processes, and organizational design.
- The new rules of business have changed. What happens beyond social?
- A movement to bring innovations in Web 2.0 and Cloud safely and securely into the next gen enterprise.
- A changing business environment has forced enterprise apps strategies to be more agile and responsive to the business.
- Software contract negotiations increase in complexity and require more alignment with next gen apps strategy.
- A plethora of partner solutions, purpose built apps, widgets and gadgets have complicated vendor selection.
- Vendor consolidation and a quest for operating margin has led to less leverage in software contract negotiations.

Fantastic drawing! Wish I had that garage
preferred the inks. I did a series about 10 years ago very much in the style of the
ink/pen drawings that used to appear in Road&Track (not mine). Mostly 512's 917s Lancia n older F1 Ferrari's.
Got divorced a few years ago and moved, went back to get the rest of my things and all of my

The National Geographic Society on Monday announced that it is in the process of moving its backup and archive of large unstructured multimedia files to a public cloud service.
The move is in response to at least four significant archive platform upgrades over the decades that the organization has stored video, photo and graphics electronically. The physical storage box upgrades, along with the data migration process, became too expensive and unwieldy, NatGeo said.
The organization chose Nirvanix's Cloud Storage Network because it was among a few companies that use physical tapes and disk drives to upload data rather than a public network.
The 124-year-old NatGeo said its archive is in the 100TB range today, but it will be moving into petabytes of capacity in the near future, and the costs of upgrading systems and migrating data became too expensive.
NatGeo also sees an advantage in using a cloud service for distributing its content and collaborating with editorial resources around the globe.
"There's no question that it's the kind of thing we'd look to leverage in the future with our video editors. The traditional office is going away. We all know that," said Dan Backer, NatGeo's director of infrastructure systems.
"You want to hire the best possible video producer you can find. If that video producer is in New York City and the data is in Washington D.C., there's going to be a transfer problem," Backer added.
The Nirvanix cloud service allows NatGeo to deploy an appliance in any location and begin uploading content.
The file data includes not only its award winning video and photography content, but PDFs of completed NatGeo magazines, as well as Quark Express and EPS files.
Backer said benchmark tests showed there's little to no performance difference between uploading media content via an onsite hierarchical storage management (HSM) system or a cloud provider.
"The cloud NAS and some of the additional controller types allow us to buffer some of that content as well, so we can improve delivery time," he said.
Steve Duplessie, founder and analyst at market research firm ESG, said NatGeo's move to the cloud is an example of a wave of new thinking in the media industry.
"National Geographic is another prime example of people saying, 'Why am I continuing to do all this myself when there is clearly an easier and better way,' " he said.
Nirvanix will store NatGeo's content using the New Technology File System (NTFS) standard for Windows.
Using the Nirvanix CloudNAS Gateway, NatGeo is able to encrypt data both in flight and at rest and securely transfer data to any of Nirvanix's eight globally distributed cloud storage data centers.
The majority of NatGeo's content is on magnetic tape media. Content is also stored on hard disk drives and optical disc. Over the past two decades, the organization migrated data from different tape media to optical disc to network-attached storage.
The organization upgraded its systems and migrated data every three to five years. Backer said NatGeo won't be closing its Washington-based data center, but moving to the cloud will allow them to reduce equipment, maintenance and power use.
NetGeo has estimated that not having to maintain its storage systems, upgrade them or migrate data over the next five years will save the institution money in the six-figure range.
Having its data in the cloud will also open new opportunities for the society to sell its content.
"One of the great things about putting it in the cloud is that now I don't have to start to build VPNs to my partners," Backer said. "I can develop an API call ... allowing partners to have access to certain buckets of content."

The mesas of Aureum Chaos
These images, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft, show the 'chaotic' terrain of the Aureum Chaos region on Mars.
The HRSC obtained these images during orbit 456 with a resolution of approximately 25 metres per pixel. The scenes show an area located at about 3º South and 335º East.
Aureum Chaos is located in the eastern part of Valles Marineris, south-west of the 280 kilometre-wide impact crater Aram Chaos. Like this impact basin, both regions are two examples of the chaotic terrain contained in this part of the Valles Marineris.
As the name 'chaos' suggests, this terrain is characterised by randomly oriented, large-scale mesas and knobs that are heavily eroded and dominate the area. As seen in the main colour image, these mesas range from a few kilometres to tens of kilometres wide.
In the north (right-hand side) of this image, a well-defined scarp extends in an east-west direction.
'Slump and collapse' blocks can be distinguished at the base of this scarp, as highlighted in this close-up perspective view.
Near the southern border (middle left-hand side) of the colour image, a roughly five kilometre-wide region of bright material is observed. This material appears to form distinct layers that may have been created by the evaporation of fluids or by hydrothermal activity (see lower right-hand corner of the perspective view below).
Another interesting region of bright material also extends north to south in the centre of the colour image and is also visible along the left side of this perspective view.
The history of Aureum Chaos is complex. It appears that this basin was filled with sediment and then experienced the formation of chaotic terrain. It is thought that this extremely rough terrain is caused by collapse of the surface due to the removal of subsurface ice, magma or water.
By supplying new image data for Aureum Chaos, the HRSC allows scientists to improve their understanding of Mars. In particular, the colour and stereo capability of the HRSC allows improved studies of the planet's morphology (the evolution of rocks and landforms). By analysing reflected light at different wavelengths, we can determine minerals that make up the various geological features within the scene.
Data from the HRSC, coupled with information from the other instruments on ESA's Mars Express and other missions, will provide new insights into the geological evolution of the Red Planet and also pave the way for future missions.
The colour images were processed using the HRSC nadir (vertical view) and three colour channels. The perspective views were calculated from the digital terrain model derived from the stereo channels.
The 3D anaglyph image was created from the nadir channel and one of the stereo channels. Stereoscopic glasses are needed to view the 3D image. Image resolution has been decreased for use on the internet.
For more information on Mars Express HRSC images, you might like to read our updated 'Frequently Asked Questions'.

Post Waste
GARMENTS, NO GARBAGE - This is the Post Waste Era
Worn out clothes and textiles get a new lease of life: post-consumer textile waste is used for the new Post Waste collection by Pure Waste.
Every person on the planet throws 14 kilograms of textiles into waste every year. From 2025 onwards, an EU regulation bans throwing post-consumer textiles into waste. The clothes we wear can no longer be wasted. They must be worn out, collected and recycled. In six years, we must treat used clothes as raw material, not as garbage.

| 12.9°C Belfast
A senior judge did not support a controversial paedophile rights campaign, a judicial investigation has found.
Court of Appeal judge Lord Justice Fulford was accused in a number of reports of supporting an organisation known as the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) in the late 1970s, while a volunteer at the National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL).
An inquiry by Lord Kerr of Tonaghmore, a justice of the Supreme Court and former lord chief justice of Northern Ireland, concluded the allegation was without substance, the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO) said.
Lord Justice Fulford, who voluntarily stepped down from sitting on criminal proceedings pending the investigation, will now resume sitting in all jurisdictions.
The investigation follows a series of claims made earlier this year over links between former prominent NCCL figures - Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman, her husband and fellow Labour MP Jack Dromey, and former Labour health secretary Patricia Hewitt - and PIE.
Following the investigation into Lord Justice Fulford, also known as Sir Adrian Fulford, all complaints against him have been dismissed by the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Thomas, and the Lord Chancellor, Justice Secretary Chris Grayling.
Both have agreed there is no evidence to support allegations of misconduct or to undermine Sir Adrian's position as a judicial office holder.
It was alleged in the Mail on Sunday that Sir Adrian was a founder member of a campaign group set up to defend PIE, while it openly called for the age of consent to be lowered to four.
The appeal court judge said he had ''no memory'' of founding the Conspiracy Against Public Morals campaign, but said he had been ''briefly involved'' in the 1970s with the NCCL.
As part of the inquiry, Lord Kerr looked at a number of documents, including those which had been referred to in media reports, JCIO said. Two lengthy interviews with Sir Adrian were conducted in which the allegations were examined.
Lord Kerr concluded that Sir Adrian "was not and had never been a supporter of PIE or its aims", the JCIO said, and there was no reason for Sir Adrian to have disclosed his links with the NCCL on appointment as a judge.
As part of the investigation, Lord Kerr also considered a number of judgments in which Sir Adrian had been involved since his appointment to the High Court bench, concerning sexual crimes.
Lord Kerr found nothing "untoward" about any decisions reached, the JCIO said.
