There are some ski areas you know you’ll want to return to over and over. Alta is one of those areas.
A skiers-only mountain (snowboarders are not allowed) set in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Utah, Alta isn’t so much a resort as a small cluster of lodges, with one or two hotels thrown into the mix. The scene is local but most importantly, the mountain is a haven for powder hounds.
Utah ski resorts are famous for the fact that they get an average 500 inches of light, dry powder each season, so-called ‘champagne powder’ that lures powder fans back time and time again. Locals say February is the best month for ‘pow’.
Following a big snowfall, powder fanatics spend ages poring over weather forecasts and latest snow reports to decide which ski area to hit. It’s often a toss-up between Powder Mountain near Ogden (the name speaks for itself) or Alta.
Skiers who are familiar with Utah’s resorts base themselves in Salt Lake City, driving to whichever resort has the best powder each day. There are lots of resorts to choose from, including Park City, home to the Sundance Film festival, the Canyons, Snowbasin, Snowbird, Powder Mountain and Alta. After a heavy snowfall, many head up the canyon and get stuck in at the Alta Peruvian, a very laid- back lodge with hot tubs, dorm accommodation and excellent food. It is possible to literally get ‘stuck’ at the Peruvian Lodge; when avalanche warnings are issued, the lodge initiates a ‘lock down’ which means that no-one can leave the building until the following morning or whenever the avalanche risk is downgraded.
In the lodge bar, locals mix enthusiastically with guests, something that doesn’t happen too often in European resorts. You’re likely to end up chatting to a guy who clears snow for a living or some wealthy local who owns his own little resort somewhere down the canyon.
Of course, Utah is also famous for its Mormon population. The downside to this is that when you want to go for a drink in a bar, archaic laws dictate that you must first fork out a few dollars to become a ‘club member’.
However, the upside to skiing in a Mormon state is that on Sundays – the busiest day of the week for most ski resorts around the world – Utah’s slopes are quieter because Mormons are busy worshipping.
This leaves more fresh tracks for the rest of us. At Alta, there’s a powder protocol that stays the same year in, year out. By 8.30am, powder hounds begin queuing at the Collins lift to be first up the mountain. Once there, they race each other to find the best powder stashes. More often than not, they head straight for High Rustler, following a high traverse, then side-stepping onto a 40-degree piste for a glorious ride down in light powder. ‘Bring your snorkel’ is the line of the day when there’s been a massive dump of snow. Local hotshot skiers are only really impressed when there’s so much snow that it hits them in the face as they ski down, giving them so-called ‘face shots’. After High Rustler, it’s on to Gunsight for more powder glory and if you’re lucky, a run down the infamous Baldy Chutes.
If and when you can finally drag yourself away from Alta, head to Ogden Valley and check in to the luxurious Lakeside Village overlooking Pineview Reservoir, for easy driving access to Powder Mountain and Snowbasin. Or stay in Ogden itself, a town that was once described as too wild for Al Capone with its bootlegging, prostitution and gambling but which has gladly replaced those particular attractions with skiing and climbing. The town was named after trapper Peter Skene Ogden in the 1800s and is rich in the history of trappers, traders and explorers.
Snowbasin hosted the downhill, combined and super-G events during the 2002 Winter Olympics. Like many of Utah’s resorts it looks small and has few lifts but is deceptive, with excellent off-piste terrain accessed from its upper bowls. Grizzly, the men’s downhill run, is well worth a run with sharp, intense turns that will take you up to speeds of 70-75mph if you have the nerve and the talent.
From the top of the mountain, you can enjoy great views of the Wasatch Mountain range as well as views of Nevada, Wyoming, the Ogden Valley and the Great Salt Lake. Snowbasin has the same owners as Sun Valley ski resort and while it boasts a number of beautiful wooden lodges for dining, there’s no accommodation at the ski station itself. Stay at Ogden and get to Snowbasin by commuter light rail or if you have a car, stay at the Lakeside Village, a ten minute drive away.
Powder Mountain is a real locals’ spot. The cafe puts you in mind of some of Scotland’s smaller ski areas but don’t be fooled, when there’s been fresh snow, Powder Mountain comes into its own with cat-skiing for access to untouched stashes, powder safaris, and chutes, bowls and glades that will keep the most fanatical powder fan happy.

wimlib's compressors for these formats usually outperform and outcompress their closed-source Microsoft equivalents. See the benchmarks.
Since these formats are not well known outside of Microsoft, some extra information is provided below.
wimlib's XPRESS and LZX decompressors are also reused in the NTFS-3G system compression plugin by the same author, which extends NTFS-3G with support for reading files compressed with the "system compression" feature Microsoft introduced in Windows 10.
The Huffman variant of the XPRESS compression format uses LZ77-style dictionary compression combined with Huffman coding. It is designed for fast compression and decompression with a small dictionary size (typically 4096 to 65,536 bytes). The uncompressed data is represented as a sequence of literals and matches. A literal is a single byte, whereas a match consists of a (length, offset) pair which tells the decompressor to copy 3 or more bytes from data it has already decompressed. A single alphabet of 512 symbols combines literals (256 possible values) and match headers (256 more possible values) and is Huffman-coded.
WIM archives. To create a WIM archive that uses XPRESS compression, use: /compress:fast with DISM, or --compress=fast or --compress=xpress with wimlib-imagex.
Very fast (level < 30): Greedy parsing with matches found using HC4 matchfinder (hash chains with 4 bytes hashing, plus a table with 3 bytes hashing). The compression ratio is similar to that of Microsoft's XPRESS compressor.
Fast (30 ≤ level < 60): Lazy parsing with matches found using HC4 matchfinder (hash chains with 4 bytes hashing, plus a table with 3 bytes hashing). The compression ratio is better than that of Microsoft's XPRESS compressor.
Normal/slow (level ≥ 60): "Near-optimal" parsing with matches found using BT4 matchfinder (binary trees with 4 bytes hashing, plus a table with 3 bytes hashing). The compression ratio is much better than that of Microsoft's XPRESS compressor. The techniques used are similar to those used in wimlib's LZX compressor; see LZX for more details.
The LZX format is basically a slightly improved version of the more commonly used DEFLATE format (the format used in ZIP files, and by zlib and gzip). It combines LZ77-style dictionary compression with Huffman coding and is intended to be used with a small-to-medium dictionary size (32,768 to 2,097,152 bytes). Uncompressed data is represented a sequence of literals and matches. Literals and match headers are combined into a single Huffman-coded "main alphabet". The lengths of long matches are Huffman-coded using the "length alphabet". The compressor can choose to divide the input into multiple "blocks", each of which uses separate Huffman codes. In addition, the LZX format includes repeat offset codes, the option to entropy-encode the bottom three bits of match offsets, and x86 machine code preprocessing. These characteristics allow "binary" data to be compressed better with LZX than with DEFLATE. Other improvements over DEFLATE are: no coding space is wasted on an end-of-block symbol; and the main alphabet captures length-offset correlation.
WIM archives. To create a WIM archive that uses LZX compression, use: /compress:maximum with DISM, or --compress=maximum or --compress=lzx with wimlib-imagex, or simply take advantage of the fact that wimlib-imagex defaults to LZX compression.
Fast (level < 35): Lazy parsing with matches found using HC4 matchfinder (hash chains with 4 bytes hashing, plus a table with 3 bytes hashing) and repeat offset match searching. The compression ratio is worse than that of Microsoft's LZX compressor, but the speed is quite fast — almost as fast as wimlib's fast mode for XPRESS.
Normal/slow (level ≥ 35): "Near-optimal" parsing with matches found using BT4 matchfinder (binary trees with 4 bytes hashing, plus tables with 3 and 2 bytes hashing), along with repeat offset match searching. The compression ratio is better than that of Microsoft's LZX compressor, while still being significantly faster. Because this is the default compression mode of wimlib-imagex, this is the most carefully engineered compressor available in wimlib. However, the LZX format does not allow as high a compression ratio as LZMS if a sufficiently large dictionary is used.
The compressor starts by preprocessing the input buffer. Then, it advances through the buffer and finds LZ77 matches. For each byte position, the 2, 3, and 4-byte sequences beginning at that position are hashed using a multiplicative hash function. The 2 and 3-byte hashes identify entries in the hash2 and hash3 tables, respectively. If either entry contains a position value, that position is checked for a length 2 or 3 match with the current position, respectively; then the entry is replaced with the current position. Assuming no hash collisions, this finds the closest length 2 and length 3 matches. Then, the 4-byte hash identifies a binary tree containing prior sequences (or positions). The sequence beginning with the 4-byte sub-sequence is searched for in the tree, and matches are reported along the search path. At the same time, the binary tree is re-rooted at the current sequence, which ensures that small offsets remain close to the root of the tree.
At some point, the compressor will decide it is time to end the current block. This happens when either the end of the input is reached, a maximum block size is reached, or when a heuristic determines that the type of data being compressed has changed significantly. Once this decision is made, the compressor runs a minimum-cost path graph search algorithm to find a concise compressed representation of the block. The (conceptual) graph being searched consists of a node per uncompressed byte and an edge per match or literal which can represent the sequence of uncompressed data between the two connected nodes. The cost of each edge is the number of bits required to represent that match or literal. A path through this graph therefore represents a valid compressed representation of the block's data with some cost, and we want the one with the minimum cost (or at least a low cost). The minimum-cost path algorithm can be thought of as similar to Dijkstra's algorithm, but it does not need to be as general (no priority queue is needed) because the graph is already topologically sorted by virtue of nodes being associated with byte positions.
At the default compression level (50), the minimum-cost path algorithm is actually run twice. The first pass uses edge costs derived from a mix of static default values and statistics collected about the block, whereas the second pass uses edge costs derived from the Huffman codes that were computed after the first pass. At higher compression levels, more than two passes are used for greater accuracy. This is effective in practice but is not optimal because the final Huffman codeword lengths cannot be predicted exactly, and more generally it is unknown which codeword lengths would actually produce the optimal solution.
Repeat offset matches are handled specially. Because the state of the recent offsets queue cannot be predicted in advance, repeat offset matches are searched for during the graph search step, not during the main matchfinding step. This also implies that the graph search must proceed in the forwards direction rather than in the backwards direction, since some edges aren't known in advance.
The compressor uses various heuristics to avoid an exhaustive search. For example, it only considers the smallest offset at which each distinct match length is available (e.g. if there is a length 3 match at offsets 100 and 1000, then it will only consider the one at offset 100). The compressor is also subject to cut-offs in cases where there are too many matches or the matches are very long.
Once the compressor has chosen the match/literal sequence for each block, it outputs the actual compressed bits, using Huffman encoding when required.
LZMS is an undocumented compression format that Microsoft released in 2012 or 2013. It perhaps could be described as Microsoft's answer to LZMA (i.e. the format used in 7z and xz files), although LZMS usually produces a worse compression ratio than LZMA. Like LZMA, LZMS is an LZ77-based algorithm. It achieves a relatively high compression ratio by relying on a large LZ77 dictionary size (up to 67,108,864 bytes) and statistically modelling the LZ77 stream of literals and matches. Unlike LZMA but like some LZMA competitors such as LZHAM, LZMS uses Huffman coding in addition to the more concise arithmetic coding, presumably to make decompression faster. The Huffman codes are rebuilt periodically and are not stored with the compressed data. The format includes a preprocessing step for x86 and x86_64 machine code. It does not include a "delta" filter for multimedia data but rather allows a special "delta" match type in addition to the traditional LZ77 match type.
Solid WIM archives (ESD files), introduced in Windows 8. All the file data in these archives is concatenated together, divided into 64 MiB chunks, and compressed using LZMS compression. To create such a file with DISM, use: /compress:recovery. To create such a file with wimlib-imagex, use: --solid.
Windows compression API. Developers can use LZMS compression in their applications. The API doesn't seem to support sliding-window compression — like in solid WIM archives, you're supposed to divide your data into blocks, and compress each block independently. The LZ77 dictionary size is the same as the block size.
wimlib's LZMS compressor supports different compression levels but is primarily optimized for the default level (50). Similar to commonly used LZMA compressors, wimlib's LZMS compressor performs a heuristic graph search over small regions of the uncompressed data to choose a concise compressed representation, considering many different possibilities and choosing the one which requires the fewest bits. LZ77-style matches are found using a string search algorithm which handles very large buffers (tens or hundreds of megabytes in size) relatively efficiently. First, the string search algorithm builds the suffix array of the input data using libdivsufsort by Yuta Mori. Second, the string search algorithm uses the suffix array to build a compact representation of the lcp-interval tree. Third, for each input buffer position in sequential order, the string search algorithm reports a match for each lcp-interval that contains that position's rank, was previously visited, and has the greatest lcp value among all lcp-intervals under consideration which were last visited equally recently. The reported match length is the lcp value of the lcp-interval, and the reported match offset is the distance to the position at which that lcp-interval was last visited. More information can be found in the source code, Kasai et al (2001), Abouelhoda et al (2004), and Chen et al (2008). LZMS "Delta" matches are found using simpler data structure (a hash table).
As mentioned, wimlib's compressors for XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS usually outperform and outcompress their Microsoft equivalents. In addition, more compression settings are provided. Although results will vary depending on the data being compressed, the table below shows results for a common use case: creating an x86 Windows PE image ("boot.wim"). Each row shows the compression type, the size of the resulting WIM archive in bytes, and the time it took to create the file. When possible, the results with the Microsoft equivalent are included.
--solid for wimlib-imagex; /compress:recovery for DISM. Compression chunk size in solid resources defaults to 67108864 bytes in both cases.
--compress=LZMS for wimlib-imagex. Compression chunk size defaults to 131072 bytes.
--compress=LZX:100 for wimlib-imagex. Compression chunk size defaults to 32768 bytes.
--compress=LZX:50 or --compress=LZX or no option for wimlib-imagex; /compress:maximum for DISM. Compression chunk size defaults to 32768 bytes in both cases.
--compress=LZX:20 for wimlib-imagex. Compression chunk size defaults to 32768 bytes.
--compress=XPRESS:80 for wimlib-imagex. Compression chunk size defaults to 32768 bytes.
--compress=XPRESS:50 or --compress=XPRESS for wimlib-imagex; /compress:fast for DISM. Compression chunk size defaults to 32768 bytes in both cases.
--wimboot --compress=XPRESS:80 for wimlib-imagex. Same format as , but trying harder to get a good compression ratio.
--compress=none for wimlib-imagex; /compress:none for DISM.
wimlib-imagex's --compress option also accepts the "fast", "maximum", and "recovery" aliases for XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS, respectively.
WIM does even better on directory trees containing duplicate files, which the Canterbury corpus doesn't have.

It’s that time of year when our grizzly bears are emerging from their dens and heading down to valley bottoms to seek out the first greens of spring.
The Kettle Granby Grizzly Bear population unit spans north to south from hwy 6 to the US border and bound east to west by the Arrow Lakes and the Kettle River and, this does include the Rossland Range.
The current population estimate of the Kettle Granby Grizzly Bear is 86 bears. It is still considered a threatened population by managers and has not been hunted now since the mid nineties. There are conflicting views in how our grizzly bears are doing here in the Kettle-Granby. Some believe they have recovered, while others believe they are still threatened.
Collecting sightings information on our grizzly bears can help us gain a better understanding of the distribution of these grizzly bears and areas they are occupying. Even better is the chance to collect some hair samples from individuals which gives a lot more information from the DNA that can be extracted.
Please report your sightings of grizzly bears to Jenny Coleshill, project coordinator, Granby Wilderness Society at 250-442-7969 and leave a message or email jenny.coleshill@granbywildernesss.ca.
If at all possible a picture would be fantastic to confirm the species and the individual. Other details that are needed is the location you saw the animal, (as precise as possible; GPS reading the best way), the date you saw the bear, and any unique behaviour you notice.
Remember, grizzly bears can be dangerous animals so please respect them if you do have an encounter and most important, be safe.

Neuropsychiatric disorders are those illnesses that have both neurological and psychiatric features. Millions of children and adolescents in the United States are impacted by a mental health condition. In fact, more than 17 million children in the U.S. currently have or have had a psychiatric disorder.* That’s more than all pediatric cases of cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined.
The most common psychiatric illnesses in children are anxiety disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and disruptive behavior, depression and bipolar mood disorders.* Other illnesses include obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), and eating disorders, along with other behavioral, developmental and movement disorders.
Researchers believe a number of children and youth who have been diagnosed with a neuropsychiatric illness may actually suffer from an infection-induced autoimmune disorder, which triggers neurologic and psychiatric symptoms, such as OCD, tics, eating disorders and ADHD.

MTN sacks 280 staff – Royal Times of Nigeria.
MTN Nigeria has disengaged about 280 of its employees from its services in a major job, as it affected about 15 percent of the company’s entire Nigerian workforce.
Those affected by the move include some 200 permanent employees and about 80 contract staff across various cadres, ranging from new graduates to senior managers. Many of those sacked have spent up to 15 years with the company having joined MTN as it opened its business in Nigeria in 2001.
It is reported that this development is part of a restructuring exercise in line with the company’s IGNITE transformation initiative to reposition it into diverse segments of the economy including digital payments, financial technology (FinTech).
According to a source privy to information in the company, MTN introduced the Voluntary Severance Scheme (VSS), to provide a window for one week in April, for persons who have served in MTN for five years and above to take up. Those who decided to leave under the VSS were to be paid the equivalent of their three weeks gross salary for every year they worked with MTN.
The source said; “What it means is that if one worked in MTN for five years, one would be paid three weeks of their gross salaries times five. 200 permanent staff signified interest. Unfortunately, on Friday, the company decided to add 80 contract staff to the list,”.
“All 280 staff were let go under the VSS and paid their benefits. The move by the company cut across various cadre, ranging from new graduates to senior managers, as it affected about 15 percent of the company’s entire Nigerian workforce”.
“Many of those sacked spent up to 15 years with the company having joined MTN as it opened its business in Nigeria in 2001. Those were given a severance of 75 percent of their gross monthly income multiplied by the number of years with the company. Wth the payoff structure, senior managers with 15 years of service were left with about N15 million. Most of the staff got less than N5 million”.
MTN Nigeria spokesperson, Funso Aina when contacted said the company was going to issue a statement on the matter.
Meanwhile, some of the sacked MTN staff said they would challenge their disengagement at the National Industrial Court.

CAPCOM | Debut World Tour of "CAPCOM LIVE!" Rockestral Concert!
Debut World Tour of "CAPCOM LIVE!" Rockestral Concert!
Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced the inaugural "CAPCOM LIVE!" "rockestral"—rock and orchestral—concert world tour beginning March 2016.
Capcom has released a multitude of hit titles since its founding in 1983, and possessing a wealth of global brands with long-established followings, such as "Street Fighter," "Resident Evil," and "Monster Hunter," it has created 69 million-seller titles to date. Beyond this, the company has broadly leveraged its IP across multiple platforms and mediums under the banner of its Single Content, Multiple Usage strategy.
At "CAPCOM LIVE!" attendees can enjoy live performances of game music from more than ten Capcom masterpieces dating from the 1980s up through the present day, all completely synchronized to HD visuals. In addition to the performance of "Video Game Orchestra"—a group that combines rock and orchestral music into "rockestral" concerts and boasts high notoriety in the US—the tour will pursue sophisticated entertainment via staging that weaves together visual effects and specialized lighting. This tour differs from events that have targeted only gamers by brining to life a forward-thinking musical project that can engage music fans and general audiences as well.
Kicking off with two public performances in China during March 2016, "CAPCOM LIVE!" will be held in North American cities such as Boston before expanding to other areas next year, with the goal of performing more than 30 concerts across the globe in places such as Japan, Europe, Central and South America and Asia. With this opportunity, Capcom intends to achieve greater penetration of its brands in the broadening global game market, including emerging nations.
Utilizing its Single Content, Multiple Usage strategy, Capcom will continue to pursue a multifaceted approach in leveraging its portfolio of brands, with the aim of maximizing the value of its IPs and creating new opportunities for revenue while working to further enhance its performance.
1. Event Name "CAPCOM LIVE!"
China (Shanghai: March 19, Beijing: March 26), Boston: April 9 and more.
30-40 public performances planned globally, including North America, Central & South America, Europe, Asia.

Many teams are adopting code review now, and then find themselves struggling to make it work. Do you feel that it takes too much time? Do you think the issues that reviewers find are not really deal-breakers? Are you afraid that instead of improved collaboration you are creating a battlefield over the code base? There are a number of things that you can do to make code reviews go smoothly and bring meaningful, useful results. We’ll talk about how we can make code reviews transparent and efficient. We’ll outline what things we should be looking for when reviewing someone else's code, and how not to lose focus hunting extra spaces. And more importantly, we’ll talk about the human factor, and how while it’s not always possible to separate a code from its authors, there are ways to communicate messages effectively.

A stunning gold and jewel Anglo-Saxon pendant has been uncovered in a Norfolk field in one of the most spectacular archaeological discoveries for years, it can be revealed today. Trevor Heaton reports.
“It’s the single most exciting discovery I have ever been present at,” Dr Geake said.
She is an expert on the early Anglo-Saxon period, that time when the new Kingdom of East Anglia was being established after the chaos following the end of Roman Britain.
That means she is also an expert on the world-famous Sutton Hoo burial - thought to be of King Raedwald from the early seventh century - and was also involved with research into the fabulous Staffordshire Anglo-Saxon Hoard discovered in 2009.
Now the South Norfolk pendant, the latest in a long line of spectacular discoveries from Norfolk, is set to join that famous list. “It’s going to be a nationally-important thing,” Dr Geake added. Nothing else has been found quite like it.
But all of these discoveries were still in the future when Tom Lucking, a first-year UEA landscape archaeology student and keen member of the Suffolk Archaeological Field Group, was exploring the field - with the landowner’s permission - just before Christmas.
Dr Andrew Rogerson and Steven Ashley from the HES then asked Dr Geake to join in the excavation, which took place over two cold days in January.
The bowl turned out to be at the foot of a grave with the badly-preserved bones of an adult Anglo-Saxon. As the excavation continued it was clear that this was a female because of the jewellery being discovered. It included a ‘chatelaine’, a long strip with probably silver rings which would have been hung from a girdle.
They include two pendants made from re-used gold coins. One of them has been dated to between 639-656 when it was minted for Frankish king Sigebert III, probably near Marseilles, so we know the grave must be dated to just after this. The pendants, along with two gold beads, formed part of a ‘choker’-style necklace.
“It’s that theme that we see running right up to the present day, where we turn to France for style and cultured items,” Dr Geake explained. The finds also included the beaten bronze bowl, which may be another French import, a wheel-thrown pot which Dr Rogerson has identified as a definite import, plus a tiny knife and iron buckle.
So who was the mysterious noblewoman? We will never know her name but we can tell that she was someone who was living at the very highest levels of society. “She’s going to have known the kings of East Anglia, and France,” Dr Geake said. The noblewoman may even been alive when burials were still going on at Sutton Hoo.
Steven Ashley, from the Gressenhall-based Historic Environment Service, was the archaeologist who actually brought the pendant to light after 14 centuries.
“They were terrible conditions to dig in over the two days,” he said. “Lots of mud everywhere, and cold and wet! But I think it’s the most exciting discovery I have ever uncovered - one of those things you dream of finding.
The debate will then begin about what happens next to this amazing discovery, and whether the finds can be kept in Norfolk. This is a story 14 centuries in the making, and there’s a lot more to come yet.

Ma Belle Mere and her sister Danielle made this salad for my family on a hot summer day in the Loire Valley where we were vacationing. The crunch of cucumber, soft and fruity tomatoes, the sharp tang of capers and lemon juice and fragrant olive oil and mint were refreshing and evocative of Algeria and Italy, where Marie-Paule and Danielle originate.
1 tablespoon minced fresh mint leaves.
Toss everything else together in the bowl with the couscous. Adjust the seasonings as you like, more or less salt, mint, juice or oil. Eat immediately as the cous cous will continue to absorb the oil and juice and will seem dry.
This salad can easily include or exclude items. Sometimes I put some onions or toasted pine nuts or raisin. Sometimes I omit the capers if I have a guest that doesn’t like them. If you don’t like Mint, use Basil, Marjoram, Parsley or Cilantro instead.
The difficult and time-consuming process of rolling out fresh pasta by hand is a long lost art. Back in Italy, my great grandmother’s pasta making skills were renowned. When she arrived in America she stuck to her roots and rolled out her own fresh pasta by hand until the day she passed. As an ode to her memory, I decided to try my own hand at making fresh pasta. Italian blood runs through my veins and making fresh pasta really brought me closer to my heritage and the memory of my great grandmother.
Thankfully pasta machines have been invented which yield pasta just as good as hand rolled. With the pasta machine, it is simple to make your own pasta at home, which is exponentially better than the pasta you buy in a box at the grocery store. The difference between dried pasta and fresh is that dried is made of semolina and water while fresh is made of flour and egg. Fresh pasta is more tender and flavorful than its dried cousin.
To go with my homemade pasta I really wanted to make a sauce. I figured that it would be a shame to dump store bought tomato sauce on my fresh pasta. In my opinion ragus, a tomato based sauce with meat, are the best type of pasta sauces. Bugialli, who is the king of Italian cookbooks, inspired the ragu I made. I used rosemary, onion and pancetta to build a foundation of flavor for my sauce then added in lamb, tomato and chicken broth. I also added a little red chili flakes to add a little punch. The lamb slowly cooks in the sauce creating a stew, slowly getting tender and releasing its flavor into the sauce. The end product is so tasty you could eat it alone as a soup.
While there is art to pasta making, there is also an art to cooking pasta. Pasta is one of the most commonly served dishes in the world and is usually cooked incorrectly. The proper way to cook pasta is to cook it in very salty boiling water until it is 80% done, then drain it, and finish cooking it in sauce. By cooking the pasta in the sauce, it allows for some of the sauce to absorb into the noodles and cling to it. Anytime you have a bowl of pasta with a pool of sauce on the bottom, it was cooked incorrectly.
While making your own pasta and sauce at home is more time consuming then opening a box of dried pasta and a jar of store bought tomato sauce, the reward is well worth the effort and the process is fun.
1 ½ pounds boneless lamb shoulder ProTip: Have your butcher remove any silver skin and excess fat and to cut the shoulder into 1 inch cubes.
14-ounce can tomatoes crushed ProTip: I like to use whole San Marzano canned tomatoes and then crush them by hand then drain off a majority of the canning liquid.
1. In a medium-large pot (preferably an enamel Dutch oven) heat olive oil over medium-low heat. When olive oil is hot put in chopped onion, pancetta, and rosemary. Sauté until pancetta begins to crisp and onion starts to caramelize.
2. Add lamb and brown on all sides.
3. Pour in the wine and cook for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, dissolve tomato paste in 1 cup of chicken broth.
4. Pour in chicken broth tomato paste mixture reserving the other cup of chicken broth for later.
5. Add chili flakes and then cover. Cook on a simmer, stirring occasionally, for an hour.
6. After an hour, add the remaining cup of chicken broth and crushed, drained tomatoes. Continue to simmer covered for another hour.
7. On a large clean board place the flour in a mound and then make a large well in the center.
8. Put the egg, olive oil and salt in the well.
9. With a fork, mix the wet ingredients in the center of the well thoroughly. Then, begin to incorporate the flour from the inner rim of the well. Slowly pull in flour into the wet ingredients and continue mixing until about 2/3 of the flour has been absorbed.
10. Cover your hands in flour and start kneading the pasta dough by hand. Incorporate almost all of the reaming flour.
11. Cut the dough into 3 pieces. Run each piece of dough through a pasta machine on a wide setting then sprinkle with flour and fold into thirds then run it through again. Repeat this about 10 times with each piece of dough. ProTip: This method of kneading the dough creates gluten and makes it smooth and elastic.
12. Now you are ready to begin rolling out the pasta. Put the dough through a pasta machine on the widest setting. Then sprinkle with a little flour and move the machine to the next setting and run the pasta through again. Keep reducing the thickness of the pasta, one setting at a time until your pasta is very thin. ProTip: When the pasta begins to be too long to handle cut it in half.
13. When all of the dough has been rolled out to the desired thickness you can attach the cutting attachment with thin teeth to your pasta machine and cut each sheet of pasta into fettuccine. Sprinkle the fettuccine with flour and let it rest on the board until you are ready to use it.
14. When sauce is almost done season with salt and pepper to taste and pull apart the lamb shoulder into shreds with 2 forks. Then boil a very large pot of water. ProTip: Salt the water heavily; it should taste like the ocean.
15. When the water is at a rolling boil drop in the pasta and cook until it is very al dente, about 90 seconds. Then drain the pasta and return to the empty pot.
16. Pour in sauce to the pot with the pasta in it and finish cooking the pasta in the sauce on medium heat, about a minute or two. Serve and enjoy.

IBM’s HPC business unit, aka Deep Computing, has always been more about fielding cutting-edge platforms than making profits. Although the company has produced some ground-breaking supercomputing systems over the years and has captured a large chunk of the HPC server market, the business proposition was not always clear. But according to a conversation I had recently with Herb Schultz, marketing manager for IBM’s Deep Computing unit, that looks to be changing.
According to Schultz, the company is revamping its approach to its high performance computing business in several dimensions. These include new alliances, sales strategies, and solutions, as well as a shift in HPC market segment focus. Overall, says Schultz, that will involve transitioning from a model that relies on selling hardware parts to one that offers complete integrated solutions.
Schultz admits IBM Deep Computing has probably put forth this story before, but according to him the incentives are now changing. And by that, he means monetary incentives. Schultz remembers as little as two or three years ago the main metric for the HPC business was revenue. So there would be an awful lot of pressure, for example, to sell a $50 million supercomputer, even if it cost IBM $49.99 million to make. “There is really no appetite in IBM anymore — with some of the leadership changes over the last few years — for revenue that has no profit with it,” says Schultz.
At the core of the strategy shift is the realization that some of the industry’s fastest growing segments, like cloud computing and business analytics, are underpinned by high performance computing technology. Even IBM’s “Smarter Planet” campaign, which covers segments like education, public safety and retail, will draw on HPC technologies. That includes hundreds of new applications, everything from optimizing city traffic flow in real-time using video streams to managing retail inventory with RFID tracking. HPC permeates this class of data-intensive applications.
IBM has decided these new application areas position Deep Computing as a growth engine (read profit center) for the company. At the same time, even traditional HPC — science applications, financial analytics, seismic codes, bioinformatics, etc. — is poised for robust growth. According to IDC, the HPC server revenue is growing at more than twice the rate of the overall server space (6.3 percent CAGR versus 2.6 percent) and will represent 76 percent of the total market increase over the next four years.
But IBM plans to be a bit more particular about market segments. Specifically, they intend to give more attention to customers interested in “better reward for value” — in other words, verticals that are willing to pay more for premium products. In the higher education market, where IBM is traditionally strong, customers are generally reticent to pay for value; they tend to be very price-sensitive. On the other hand, the financial services industry and some manufacturing firms are much more willing to shell out some serious cash if the solution adds to their bottom line.
Schultz says Whirlpool, for example, was able to save a significant amount of money because of better packaging, modeled and designed via HPC. In this case, the number of damaged goods that had to be returned due to faulty packaging was greatly reduced. Schultz estimates that Whirlpool was able to recoup its HPC investment in a matter of weeks.
They do have products that serve that market today, namely the System X (x86 server) products, but that group is more geared toward retail and telecom, where performance is not the driving criteria. Some of the System X shift to HPC is occurring organically. For example, the iDataPlex product, a dense x86 server design, was principally aimed at the Web 2.0 market — the i in iDataPlex stands for Internet. But as it turns out, that product is garnering plenty of attention from HPC customers.
The plan is for the Deep Computing group to work closely with the System X team so that more HPC-specific x86-based machinery can be offered. Some of this is already in motion. The recent announcements of a GPU-equipped BladeCenter variant and the iDataPlex dx360 M3 suggests a more purposeful x86 HPC strategy.
But selling hardware alone is not in IBM’s interest and is certainly not where the company’s strength lies. There are already plenty of “value” server vendors out there for do-it-yourself HPC customers. From a company perspective, Big Blue has always made its best margins selling software, services and highly-integrated systems, and it wants to duplicate that model in the Deep Computing group.
High value software like IBM’s General Parallel File System (GPFS), math libraries, and Tivoli Workload Scheduler LoadLeveler have never been marketed or sold aggressively, and were sometimes just given away as incentives to buy the hardware. “We’re leaving 3 to 4 billion dollars on the table every year by not aggressively selling the system software that we’ve got,” says Schultz.
At the same time, IBM plans to implement a better go-to-market strategy for the Deep Computing offerings, using stronger channel partner relationships, as well as greater incentives with business partners and ISVs. The company also plans to find a new route to the market via large system integration firms. The idea is that commercial customers will be able to buy HPC more like appliances, encompassing compute, storage and software, rather than as individual pieces to be cobbled together on-site.
None of this mean they’ll be ceding the high-end supercomputer business to Cray. Especially for top 10 systems and future exascale machines, IBM is committed to be a player. Schultz concedes that the initial return on these elite projects is not very good, but the ROI is there for future IBM products. It’s certainly likely that IBM research projects in areas like phase change memory, 3D chip stacking, silicon photonics and advanced software technology will first show up in high-end HPC systems.
The fact that this strategy is somewhat at odds with Deep Computing’s more pragmatic business approach is worth noting, though. But the way Schultz tells it, the company is committed to getting a good chunk of this high-end R&D funded via government programs such as was done with their DARPA HPCS-funded PERCS work. Down the road, the company is counting on getting a generous slice of the more than $1 billion that the US government plans to spend on exascale technologies over the next five to eight years.
As far as the HPC product mix goes, IBM will stick with its trio of Power-based systems, Blue Gene, and the aforementioned x86 product line. Schultz thinks the Power and Blue Gene lines may converge in five years or so, but for now they’re keeping those products distinct. The first Blue Gene/Q system, Sequoia, is scheduled for delivery to the NNSA in 2011, with the main pipeline expected in 2012. Meanwhile the Power7-based servers have already been out for a year, although the first really large deployment of the souped up IH supercomputing variant of that server will be the NCSA’s Blue Water system, also in 2011.
The only product that failed to make the cut was the Cell-based (PowerXCell 8i) HPC QS22 blades, which one assumes will be phased out at some point. Although that blade was used in the Roadrunner, the first petaflop supercomputer, the Cell processor turned out to be too specialized a solution, especially as GPGPU-based acceleration took hold in the last couple of years.
Whether this Deep Computing makeover works or not remains to be seen. But every large HPC server vendor is tweaking its strategy to one degree or another: Cray is dipping into the mainstream market with its CX1 and CX1000 lines; Dell is ramping up its product line with purpose-built performance gear; HP is doing likewise. All of this is being done to tap into what looks to be a burgeoning commercial HPC market. Like its rivals, IBM doesn’t want to miss that opportunity. “This is one of the higher points for this business over the last 15 years,” says Schultz.

Each generation of videocard to grace our computers since the creation of the graphics accelerator has brought 3D performance to a higher plateau, be it mainstream, budget or high-end. Now with PCI Express and SLI technology, gamers and computer enthusiasts alike have more options than ever before.
The beauty of SLI technology is that it allows users to run two identical videocards in parallel to increase the 3D rendering power of a system! Of course, the downside is that you must have a compatible motherboard and two physical PCI Express 16x slots to take advantage of this, not to mention two physically identical SLI videcoards.
Gigabyte has come up with a very interesting alternative to the dual card SLI option; what they've done is placed two nVidia GeForce 6600GT cores and two sets of memory onto a single videocard PCB! Like a regular pair of SLI compatible cards, the two individual cores split the PCI Express 16x bus and each core gets a direct PCI Express 8x connection to the rest of the system though one standard PCI Express x16 slot. Cool huh?!
Of course, what we're describing is the very unique Gigabyte GV-3D1 dual GeForce 6600GT PCI Express videocard. It comes bundled in along with the GA-K8NXP-SLI motherboard, and at the moment will only "officially" support SLI mode on this Gigabyte board.
Each of the GeForce 6600GT cores on the GV-3D1 are supported with dedicated sets of 128MB of Samsung GDDR3 memory each, for a total of 256MB GDDR-3. The GV-3D1 has its cores clocked at 500MHz apiece, but the memory runs at 1120MHz - a full 120MHz over stock speeds. We'll see later what kind of performance benefits this can produce.
The GV-3D1 videocard goes hand in hand with the GA-K8NXP-SLI motherboard. Catch PCstats review of the GA-K8NXP-SLI nForce4-SLI, it is officially the only board the dual 6600GT GPU GV-3D1 videocard will support SLi mode with.
The Gigabyte GV-3D1 dual-GPU supports both analog and digital monitors (DVI-to-Analog adaptor included). Also included is a TV/S-Video/Component break out box and a couple full version games: Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising and Thief: Deadly Shadows as well as a copy of PowerDVD 5.0.
The Gigabyte GV-3D1 is a long card so I hope you keep your cables and system tidy. The PCB is the same length as NV40 based videocards, and on the top right hand corner of the videocard you'll find a six pin 12V auxiliary power connector. Gigabyte include a 6-pin to molex adaptor along with the card, as most power supplies have not adopted the 6-pin connector yet.
According to a Fluke 54-II digital thermometer, the heatsink itself was around 45-50 degrees Celsius, which means GPUs are running substantially higher, and good case airflow is important. It's tough to beat the value quotient here, and the card does come with two full version games. While they're not the newest games on the market, they'll no doubt keep you busy for a good weekend or two.
As mentioned a moment ago, the Gigabyte GV-3D1 is currently only set to fully function in SLI mode with the Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI nForce4-SLI motherboard. While the Gigabyte GV-3D1 is physically compatible with any PCI Express x16 based motherboard on the market, it is "officially" only SLI compatible with that board.... (read "between" the lines). We were very surprised when we heard this tidbit of information, especially when you consider the huge potential a videocard like this has in the greater market. Apparently the limiting factor is the motherboard BIOS and how it would split PCI Express 16x lane between two GPUs on the same PCB, but that is mostly hearsay.
Whether Gigabyte will enable wider inter-operability in the future we can only hope. But in our opinion, if it's technically possible the GV-3D1 certainly should support SLi mode on any SLI motherboard, regardless of manufacturer.
On the bright side, if you do end up using the GV-3D1 on another motherboard, it will function like a single-GPU PCI Express videcoard quite normally. Currently, the company only plans to offer the GV-3D1 card as a bundle with its SLI-compatible nForce 4 motherboards like the GA-K8NXP-SLI.

Sometimes words just aren’t enough. We realize that’s a bold statement for a news magazine to make. After all, words are our currency. Yet we know that there are times when, to fully tell the stories that need to be shared, we need more than words.
This year it was as evident as ever. From the tsunami in Japan, to the war in Afghanistan, to the Arab Spring, our reporters, columnists and correspondents worked tirelessly to bring you the stories that matter. But beyond the words and interviews that filled our pages, our photojournalists sought out the pictures that told a deeper story. Whether they were behind the political scene like Diana Walker as she photographed Hillary Clinton aboard a military plane or risking life and limb like Yuri Kozyrev as he captured the conflict of Libya’s revolution, TIME’s dedicated photographers brought the stories to life.
In March, acclaimed TIME contract photographer James Nachtwey traveled to Japan to capture images in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami. A veteran photojournalist, even he found himself at a loss for words when trying to describe the country’s devastation. Yet in his hauntingly bleak images of ravaged towns and wounded families, we glimpsed what language failed to convey — and it was heart breaking.

In 2011, Yuri Kozyrev traveled to seven countries covering protests and uprisings for TIME, including Egypt, Bahrain, Libya, Yemen, Russia, Greece and Tunisia. Here, he writes about the remarkable experience and what all the revolutions had in common.
It’s unique that I’ve been able to cover all these uprisings and revolutions during the year. I’m lucky—it’s incredibly complicated to understand where you need to go when you’re on the ground, and I was lucky to have a lot of help. The protests were well under way when I got to Tahrir Square in late January, and their size and scope took my breath away: in two decades of covering the Middle East, I had never encountered anything like this. There was huge fighting between the pro-government supports and revolutionaries. Some of the journalists were beaten. Some of them lost their cameras. They kicked me out, but I managed to get back in the next morning. I saw a lot of families—not just young men or revolutionaries—and everyone was helping each other, praying together. It was a great time. Everybody was waiting for Mubarak to make the right decision, and suddenly it happened. And it was so emotional: people crying, shouting, screaming…it was incredible. The next morning, it was over. The army was kicking everyone out. They weren’t friendly—there was a feeling of ‘You got what you wanted. Now, get out.’ Of all the revolutions I covered, Egypt was the most special.
The mood at the Pearl Roundabout in Bahrain was very different from Tahrir Square. In the first days, I saw men in white robes approach police with flowers, offerings of peace: the response was tear-gas and live rounds. There was a huge difference between this army and the Egyptian army. People from Bahrain—there was no way they could even talk to the army who had arrived from Saudi Arabia. There was no way for me to get to Pearl Square, so a few journalists and I watched what was happening from the hotel. There was one hospital where all the protesters were gathered together. And then the doctors did something incredible. Not all of them supported the protesters, but they gave them shelter at the hospital and saved a lot of lives. I had a chance to go back to Bahrain after they demolished Pearl Square, and again a few weeks ago, and I saw young people who’d lost one eye to rubber bullets. It was just so sad, and I just saw some of them. I know there were many more.
In Yemen, it was very different. There was no Facebook. Change Square was still packed, but the feeling of revolution was more religious, more conservative. There was an invisible border for protesters to stay behind, and the army would shoot anyone who tried to cross this line. I saw so many young people were ready to cross the line, marching to die. And around Change Square, there were hundreds of pictures of people who’d died. In Egypt, I saw protest signs and other things, but in Yemen, it was just pictures of young faces. Whether or not President Saleh will relinquish power, the political crisis in Yemen will likely remain acute, not only because of its tribal culture and topography, but also because of its deep poverty, high illiteracy and birth rates, and deeply entrenched government corruption.
Libya was different because it was more of a civil war than a revolution. It was here that I took one of my favorite pictures of the year. It was taken on the front lines near Ras Lanuf, Libya. It was near an oil refinery factory that was important for both sides—both the rebels and government. I took this picture on March 11, when Gaddafi’s military could still fly, and they were flying around, dropping bombs on the rebels. It was really scary for everybody on the front lines—suddenly, you could hear the plane coming and the bombs hitting their targets. These men were the shabab, young people who weren’t professional fighters and didn’t have weapons or training. They’re not rebels, but eager to be on the front lines. They’re jumping because they heard the planes coming, so they’re running around trying to find any place to hide, which is hard because everything is flat and exposed. You can see from the picture that none of them have any weapons—they were scared—and it was just an incredible experience to be there.
Beyond these main four revolutions, I also traveled to cover the protests in Moscow, Greece and Tunis. I came to the conclusion that each revolution must be assessed in its own context, because each had a distinctive impact. The drama of each revolution unfolded separately. Each had its own heroes, its own crises. Each, therefore, demands its own narrative. In the end, the differences between them may turn out to be more important than their similarities, however. And the common thing about all these protests is the number of young people who really want to bring changes to their country. That’s what’s most incredible. We have a new generation of people who are sick and tired of what’s going on. Call it the Jasmine Revolution, the Arab Spring or the Facebook Revolution, there’s a powerful Sirocco blowing across the world, and young people realize there’s another life and they want to live differently.
Yuri Kozyrev is a contract photographer for TIME who has covered the Arab Spring since January.

> print it on different paper, say.
1.) to confirm/deny the intended output condition for the PDF. The PDF job is created with a unique flavor of CMYK, and that flavor needs to be defined in order to ensure that the intended appearance is preserved both in proofs and in the final product.
2. to allow for repurposing. This is somewhat less of a factor because most printing companies don't have the skills to use device-link profiles to repurpose CMYK to CMYK.
> But that means going to LAB again, and back to CMYK again.
This is not necessarily a literal conversion. Some CMMs only use the PCS to create a virtual device-link in memory (Apple calls this a color world) and then that device-link is used such that you get a direct CMYK to CMYK conversion (or direct RGB to CMYK) conversion. This is done for performance reasons.
> official way (intent) of how to preserve such blacks.
a.) Qualify "messed up the colors". 40/30/30/100 in SWOP has a specific L*a*b* value, and that is usually what we are trying to preserve. So long as that color is preserved in some other printing process, we shouldn't care what the CMYK values are.
b.) Device-link profiles can do things like preserve black channel L* and purity (or any other channel), to help with some of the known problems with converting from CMYK to CMYK, which aren't so much about color but about preserving an expected behavior.
>> Untagged CMYK in a PDF is OK, but I would then require that an outputintent is set for the PDF, so that we know what the intended CMYK output condition is, in case the PDF needs to be repurposed.
> the file something like "new_movie-poster_final-cmyk_uncoated.pdf"
No, this is a huge violation of filename domain, just as are filename extensions that denote the file's format. Filenames are user domain, and we should not be putting non-user metadata in the file name. It screws up both the filename, and it risks losing important metadata about the file. This data absolutely needs to be embedded in the PDF. All the PDF/X specs require that the output intent and/or output condition be set.

STILLWATER – Oklahoma State will host the eighth-annual Homecoming & Hoops, sponsored by Homeland, on Friday, October 24, at 9 pm inside Gallagher-Iba Arena. Doors to the east lobby will open at 8 pm, and seating for the public is general admission in the 300 level. Admission is free, although it is a first-come, first-serve event, with tickets provided at the door. The floor seating is reserved, and will require a wristband for entry. Concessions will be open, and parking around the Athletics Center will be open as well.
The festivities will include an appearance by Cowboy football coach Mike Gundy and the team captains as they prepare for Saturday's 2:30 pm contest vs West Virginia. It will also include formal introductions of the Cowboy and Cowgirl Basketball teams, as well as intra-squad scrimmages for both. Also scheduled are the announcement of many Homecoming awards, and performances by the OSU Spirit Squads.
A brief history of Homecoming & Hoops: Oklahoma State began hosting an annual kickoff to the basketball season in October of 2002, called the Basketball Bash. The Bash took place on a Saturday afternoon in mid-October for three seasons. In 2005, the event was titled, “An Evening with Eddie”, and was scheduled on a Friday night. In 2006, the event returned to Saturday afternoon and was the Basketball Bash for one more season, before the event was scheduled for the Friday night before homecoming in 2007, and renamed Homecoming & Hoops. It serves as an introduction to the men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as a pep rally for the Cowboy football squad.
