Planning a private party is stressful, especially if you don't have the help of a professional event planner. I should know! I'm helping my sister-in-law plan a big birthday party for my brother and it turns out that my ideas are as stale as day-old beer. I didn't realize this, though, until I called one of Manhattan's most cutting-edge event planners, Maya Kalman, founder and CEO of SWANK Productions. She steered us away from the old and toward the new — and shared some thoughts on how you can make sure your next private dining party is as current as Kate Middleton's wardrobe and as cool as Jeremy Lin.
1. Downsize your dining. Literally. Put down the big plate and let's get small. Kalman shares, "Finger food is very big right now and everything is extremely miniaturized. The smaller and more intricate the food, the cooler it is. Sliders are out and mini — almost micro — Reubens are in!" Speaking of what's out, she cautions against serving certain fare that has become tired. "There are foods that are starting to make their way out, like the mini mac and cheese. The typical sushi station needs to be retired from the repertoire, as well. Carving stations are a definite no-no," says Kalman, whose own wedding was featured on Food Network.
2. Pair up. Take a page from high-end dining by pairing your bites with the proper drink. Kalman, who has been featured in the The Knot and Gotham magazine, notes, "The whole mini-food explosion has given rise to small cocktail and wine pairings. You know, you'll have a tiny nibble of steak tartare on a beautiful brioche and with that comes an amazing red wine in a small shot glass. This way, you take a bite, you taste the wine, and you're done. You're not carrying anything around, and that gives you more freedom to shake hands, give someone a hug, or exchange a business card."
3. Don't try to be all things to all eaters. If you're throwing an event for more than a handful of people, you're probably going to be inviting folks with certain dietary concerns, but their concerns need not be yours. Kalman points out, "A year ago, people were very worried about vegetarians and vegans, but that's shifting. Now, hosts are saying, 'I'm serving what I'm serving.' You can't be expected to accommodate everyone's eating policies. Today, it's more about the party, and the host saying, 'You know who I am and what you might expect at a party I'm giving.' As a guest, you have to be able to find your way through an event."

Rock Band Blitz is an odd beast.
On the one hand, it asks you to forget a lot of what you know about Rock Band: plastic instruments with colorful buttons, taking on the role of a single band member as a part of a larger rock group, shredding to the rhythm without worrying about all that strategy nonsense, etc. On the other hand, though, this is still very much Rock Band. It's a rhythm game where you rock out to an impressive collection of hit music, scoring points for hitting notes that are perpetually flying toward you at remarkable speeds.
Wait. Let me simplify it a bit: Rock Band Blitz is Rock Band minus the peripherals, where instead of playing as a single member of the band with a focus on one instrument, you constantly swap between instruments mid-song.
How does that even work? Well, you have a moving stream of notes that you must tap at the right time to the rhythm of whatever rock song you're playing along to. You do this by either tapping a button on the controller or flicking one of the control sticks (there are actually several various control setups in the options menu.) However, getting a perfect score isn't your goal here. In fact, getting a perfect score is literally impossible.
You see, there are multiple note streams—one representing each of five instruments—and you only control one note stream at a time. However, you can freely switch between note streams as you see fit. Is there a flaming guitar solo you want to nail in order to rack up a super high score? Go for it. Would you rather hammer out the basic rhythm for the drums? You can do that instead.
There's a twist, though. By hitting notes, you can "level up" each instrument. Doing so gives it a score multiplier. If you can level up all of your instruments before the next "checkpoint," the level cap for your instruments increases. This means that in order to maximize your score, you'll need to spend a bit of time with each instrument.
And that means there's a bit more strategy involved than what you're used to in a Rock Band game. You see, sometimes it's better to play the harder instrument parts, since there are more notes involved thus earning you a higher base score. However, sometimes it makes more sense to play through an easy part instead in order to boost your multiplier. A high base score is fairly meaningless if your multipliers stay low. So you'll be doing a cost/benefit analysis here: Which instruments you play and when can drastically alter your score, even if you never miss a note.
To further complicate things, there are several power-ups that you can unlock. For example, there's a Pinball power-up that allows you to score extra points by keeping a pinball on the course à la Pong. There's a Bandmate power-up that will play a second stream of notes once you activate it, so you can be playing two instruments at once. There's a Super Drums power-up for drum enthusiasts that increases the points earned while nailing those drum parts. And that's just three of the sixteen power-ups available in the game.
You select three power-ups before the song starts, though you must purchase them with the points you've earned from getting high scores. Once again, you have to balance the cost of the power-ups against how many points (or coins) you think you can earn by playing a song. It's very easy to spend more coins than you earn, so you'll watch your coin supply continuously deplete rather than increase as you play more songs unless you're careful with your spending.
It all comes together quite well, making for an interesting and unexpected twist on the classic Rock Band formula. However, keeping a rhythm on a traditional controller rather than a plastic instrument takes some getting used to. It's certainly not as natural as, say, playing a plastic guitar if you actually know how to play a real guitar. And that's admittedly going to turn some people off. I mean, isn't most the fun of a Rock Band game derived from the fact that it lets you live out your rock star dreams with an actual instrument (as fake as that instrument may be)?
Still, it's interesting to play a more strategic game of Rock Band. If you can adjust to tapping out rhythms with the flip of a stick or the press of a button, Blitz is quite enjoyable.

It's a scene that burns into your brain.
As Alexis Bledel's character, Ofglen, realizes that her clitoris has been surgically removed without her consent, her face contorts in pain, loss, anguish, and anger. With a bone-chilling scream that closes the third episode of "The Handmaid's Tale," Bledel makes one of her only noises, beyond whimpers, in 53 minutes.
During the episode, she has been mutilated. She has watched her lover hung from a crane after officials discovered their illicit affair. She's been called "an abomination" by a theocratic judge because she's a lesbian. And yet the defiance that makes her the show's voice of revolution is still there, burning in her eyes, as she unleashes a last war cry before the white walls of a hospital room morph into final credits.
"I was just thinking about her resolve — when to let that out," Bledel told NBC. "How much of that was left at this point, after all she's been through. And that's one of the remarkable things about this character: that there still is some fight for what's right, underneath her anger — and as part of her anger — but also underneath all her pain. As she's beaten down by all the things that happened to her, there's still something there that still allows her, helps her, to keep going."
The moment is one of many that haunt viewers as they dive into the dystopian world of Gilead. A Hulu original series, "The Handmaid's Tale" is based on Margaret Atwood's 1985 novel that, in its day, combated a fundamentalist movement in the United States as Ronald Reagan's presidency dictated social politics. Now, the authoritarian theocracy that rules over Gilead has sparked comparisons not only to American politicians, but also to right-wing regimes around the globe.
"I think we can put a lot up to your [Trump] administration, and I think that's good, because there's huge hypocrisies and deceit from what I'm seeing and reading," said British actor Joseph Fiennes, who plays Commander Fred Waterford in the series. "But also let's not forget about the rest of the world. I feel like saying, 'Please America, don't be so selfish about "The Handmaid's Tale."' It's not just your administration. Look around the world."
Fiennes cited human rights violations against the LGBTQ community in Chechnya and disabled demographics in Latin America as examples of oppression and cruelty beyond U.S. borders.
"For me the book talks, yes, about the female voice and what's been taken away in terms of rights in America, and that's completely evident in terms of the autonomy of your body and the legislation that's coming in to remove your rights and to remove the parental care," he said. "But I just look at all across the world, and for me, the book is always about this discourse of fundamentalism, and authority, and the corruptive force of that."
Still, abuse against women is one of the most explicit themes of Atwood's work, and Bruce Miller's television adaptation three decades later. The plot follows Offred, played by Elisabeth Moss, who is kidnapped and forced into sex slavery and reproductive services for the elites of Gilead, a new fundamentalist society that has overtaken what used to be the United States. Offred and her fellow handmaids must participate in "the ceremony" every month when they're most fertile; their masters sexually assault them while supposedly sterile wives watch and hold them down. In this arrangement, there's no room for the concept of consent — handmaids fulfill their "biological destiny" as breeders and are seldom seen as human beings.
In Offred's household, Commander Fred is the perpetrator, and Serena Joy is his partner in crime.
"I would always sort of bump on that ceremony, because I thought, what woman would agree to this?" said Yvonne Strahovski, who portrays Serena Joy. "I thought, how does she partake in this willingly? And I kept bumping on the fact that just stripping away everything, how would you feel if you were a woman having to watch your husband who you're no longer allowed to be intimate with have sex with another woman? So there's many levels, I think, to what she's experiencing while being a supporter of this sexual assault."
But, Strahovski continued, "She's definitely a partaker in this ritual. She's definitely someone who is condoning it. Otherwise, she wouldn't be there."
Ofglen, Offred's companion and a handmaid herself, adds nuance to the ceremony because of her sexuality. Considered impure by her society, Bledel's character is washed clean, in the minds of her oppressors, by her repeated assault by a man.
"It did intensify, I think, my work to know that she is a lesbian and having to go through this," Bledel said. "Just the level of trauma on a regular basis, having to live with that… I mean they're all trying to survive, but I think that maybe this is where some of her fight comes from. She's enraged on some level at what is occurring, and the injustice of it is so palpable, especially for her."
Fiennes said that on the other end of the act, the Commander does not necessarily enjoy the ceremony, at least at the beginning. The fact that Fred is "not a cardboard cutout, bad character," he added, "just makes the abuses even more difficult to stomach."
He likened the sexual assault component in "The Handmaid's Tale" to recent events in Nigeria, where 82 Chibok schoolgirls were reunited with their families after being kidnapped for three years by terror organization Boko Haram.
"Boko Haram, and the girls just released, and the pain of seeing that — oh my god, there's your modern day rape culture," Fiennes said. "It's just, it's sickening."
Sexual assault and abuse are not the only themes where modernity seeps into the "Handmaid" fictional universe — Strahovski said she saw the entire story as a cautionary tale.
The parallels are perhaps at their starkest in Gilead's definition of femininity. If the dystopian government is ruled by a desire to oppress women, its complicated ethos takes shape in the confused but misogynistic mind of the Commander.
"I think there's an underlying sense of hatred and fear of the female psyche which makes him cling onto the patriarchal power even more, and sort of enjoy it as it corrupts him," Fiennes said.
He compared Fred to men around the world who are intimidated by female ingenuity, and who endorse the patriarchy as law despite its inequality because they've grown to expect an advantage.
"I think that men feel threatened, or they've had such a life-long experience of being conditioned to be made to believe that they are the ones who should be running the company, or driving the car, or holding the bank accounts," he said. "But as soon as the female psyche shows its extraordinary power, there's a threat."
Serena Joy, a former author and spokesperson, represents this threat for Fred as the logical extreme of a right-wing pundit advocating for domesticity. But when her husband takes on a significant role in a government that disenfranchises women, she lets go of her influence and suffers from "a pretty empty shell" of a life, Strahovski said.
"At some point she lost her voice in the construction of Gilead society," Strahovski added. "As a woman, she got told, 'No, you're not allowed to have a voice in this anymore.' But she still followed through to be in this society while at the same time losing her own rights as a woman."
In the show, Serena Joy continues to espouse conservative values while they oppress her, and she watches as her books get thrown to the curb (because women aren't allowed to read them) and her husband, who used to follow her advice, loses respect for her. As she relinquishes her policymaking role, she takes out her aggressions on Offred, who is lower on the Gilead food chain than she is.
"I struggled with this character a lot because I don't agree with anything she does, and I had to turn my judgment off in order to humanize this woman," Strahovski said. "It's powerful, but it's also scary, because… it gives insight into the real world, and what people's true motivations are when when we don't agree with what they're doing, when they're in authority positions."
For many viewers, "The Handmaid's Tale" is almost a parable, forewarning an eerie future at a tumultuous time. That was not necessarily the intent when the cast started filming, but it became more and more pronounced as the series premiere approached.
"I knew that she [Ofglen] was somebody who fights back, but I couldn't have predicted that she would represent people in the present day, in reality," Bledel said. "I think this story is a cautionary tale in the sense that it suggests we stay awake, and it couldn't be more important now."

Hi everyone !
Rookie here; practicing since January.
Expat, originally from Italy, but never really lived, lived there.
Last year I moved to Cartagena on the Colombian Caribbean coast.
The winds here are seasonal. Nice side/in shore (N, NNE trade winds, 14-25 Kts from November/December to February/March. Out of season you have to travel up north to Cabo de la Vela. 15/25 kts year-around, offshore, with motor boats looking after kiters. The charge is ten dollars whenever someone requires assistance.
I have taken a couple of courses and now I'm looking into buying my on equipment.
I'm inclined towards a 2012, RRD Vision, 11m, or Airush, DNA, 10m or, Wainman Rabbit Punch, 10.5, although I'm not sure this is an appropriate setup for a beginner.

The initial public offering market isn't what it used to be. Consider that good news for investors.
Wild-eyed IPO puffery has been replaced by more sober transactions that involve companies with real business models and revenue generation.
Finance, technology, telecom and health care IPOs are leading the way.
Consider tech firm Aruba Networks Inc., a provider of secure access to data, voice and video across wireless and wireline networks. It made its debut as a public company last month with a 29 percent first-day rise. While not yet profitable, revenues are rising from an impressive list of paying clients that includes Google Inc.
"The sizzle of an IPO may be great, but make sure it is a steak and not just a dead cow," said John Fitzgibbon Jr., founder of IPO Scoop.com in Edison, N.J. "It could be a marvelous opportunity to invest in the future, but you must investigate before investing."
Leaders in first-day returns this year have been hedge fund Fortress Investment Group, with a 68 percent gain, health care firm Accuray Inc., with 58 percent, and aerospace company AeroVironment Inc., with 41 percent.
Private-equity firm Blackstone Group's blockbuster announcement of what would be the sixth-largest IPO ever in the U.S. in terms of dollars raised - a $4 billion offering - indicates the market potential.
Others filing for IPOs have been food retailer Harry & David Holdings; movie theater operator Cinemark; and Vanguard Car Rental Group, owner of Alamo and National.
Yet this market can't avoid a few setbacks.
"Vonage Holdings Corp. is the poster stock for what not to do for an IPO, a train wreck that's still in motion," said David Menlow, president of IPOfinancial.com in Millburn, N.J., regarding the telecom firm whose stock quickly fell. "The harsh reality is that, since any Goliaths in the market could give VoIP [voice over Internet protocol] away for free and not impair their operating expenses, how could Vonage possibly compete with that?"
In the U.S., 67 IPOs valued at $11.9 billion took place in the first quarter, a modest increase over 56 worth $10.7 billion in the first quarter of last year, according to Dealogic research.
"It's a buyer's market in IPOs with standard valuation metrics being applied, which definitely wasn't the case from 1999 through 2001," said Francis Gaskins, president of IPOdesktop.com in Los Angeles. "You don't have the artificial demand being created as before."
MasterCard Inc. and Hertz Global Holdings Inc., offered as IPOs last year, are attractive stocks of well-known companies with excellent franchises that have continued to do well.
More and more cautious investors are waiting until an IPO is actually trading and can be observed more rationally before they buy. In reality, most investors will only be able to participate in an IPO that way.
"The average investor doesn't always have a full-service brokerage account, which is what you need to get into an IPO," said Linda Killian, portfolio manager of IPO Plus Aftermarket Fund in Greenwich, Conn. "For example, if you are a customer of Merrill Lynch and are reasonably active, you are likely to get an opportunity for some, but not all, of the Merrill Lynch IPOs."
Her fund offers investors another entry into this market. IPO Plus Aftermarket, a no-load (no sales charge) fund that requires a $5,000 minimum initial investment, has a three-year annualized return of 11 percent and a five-year annualized return of 12 percent. It invests in a diversified portfolio of IPO stocks at the time of the offering and in their subsequent aftermarket trading.
Largest holdings are utility ITC Holdings Corp., telecom firm NeuStar Inc., restaurateur Tim Hortons Inc., health care company Brookdale Senior Living Inc. and financial services firm Intercontinental Exchange Inc.
"The underpinning of the IPO market is still the institutional investor, since you don't bring a deal public until you have enough institutions to buy the deal," said Killian, who has run her fund for a decade.
The wheeler-dealers have declined, another characteristic of sobriety. In the 1990s nearly 100 investment banking firms were involved in bringing IPO deals to market.
Menlow predicts a docile IPO market, with the premiums being paid under control for the rest of this year. Investors fortunate to get in on an IPO must carefully go through a checklist that includes how the company will use IPO proceeds, risks involved, the firm's financials, comparable stocks, corporate strategy and qualifications of management.
"We are a little concerned about the increase in private equity-sponsored offerings in the IPO market because the consensus is that insiders there are trying to monetize their investments so they can cash out," Menlow said.
Among the New York Stock Exchange and the American and Nasdaq stock exchanges, "you have 7,000 to 8,000 companies, most of which came to life via the IPO route," Fitzgibbon said. "Some of the more notable are Ford, Microsoft and Apple, indication that America's future comes out of the IPO market."

In a medium stainless mixing bowl, crumble the curd into small pieces. Season the simmering water with 1 tablespoon of the salt. Pour 4 cups of the simmering water over the curd, 1 cup at a time. Place 4 rubber gloves over each hand. Using your hands, carefully press the curd together, about 15 seconds. Allow the curd to sit for 30 seconds. Using your hands, sort of knead the curd together to form a ball. Pull the curd for a couple of minutes under the warm water. Form the cheese into either 1 log about 3 inches thick or 2 smaller ones. If the cheese starts to cool down and is hard to shape or pull, add some more simmering water and let the cheese sit for about 10 seconds and then start shaping or pulling again. Remove the cheese and place in an ice bath. Allow the cheese to cool for a couple of minutes. In a second mixing bowl, combine the milk, water and remaining teaspoon of salt. Place the cheese in the liquid and let sit for 2 hours. Remove the cheese from the liquid and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. The cheese will keep for up to 2 weeks.

We distribute a version of POV-Ray specifically ported for our cluster system and BeoMPI. Our POV-ray port is interesting because It transparently uses all available cluster nodes, and works even if that number is '0'. It does all of the serial setup and run-time I/O on the front end machine (technically, the MPI rank 0 node). This minimizes overall work and keeps the POV-Ray call-out semantics unchanged It does the rendering only on compute nodes (except for the N=0 case). It complets the rendering even with crashed or slow nodes. > * Is there a beowulf setup out there setup specifically > for random-number generation, with its main focus on > generating "truly random" numbers, if you can say that > synchronus, clock-based computers are capable of generating > truly random numbers :^).

(It's a stretch to call it a cluster at all.) Cycle scavenging is different concept, and it only to a tiny percentage of problems. (People have heated discussions about cluster I/O performance and communication latency. With cycle-scavenging, these are orders of magnitude worse.) -- Donald Becker becker at scyld.com Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 410 Severn Ave. Suite 210 Scyld Beowulf cluster system Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993

According to Dr. Grunvald at the UC San Diego Weight Management Program in La Jolla, there is one popular diet strategy that is almost certainly doomed to fail.
"The idea of eating less in order to lose weight is one of the biggest dieting myths that exists today," says Dr. Grunvald. "If you follow that advice, chances are you're going to feel deprived and hungry. And when people are hungry, they go for the quickest food they can find, which in most cases will be higher calorie."
Read more on this top dieting mistake and how to avoid it.

Isramco Inc. (ISRL) established a new 52-week low yesterday, and could be a company to watch at the open. After opening at $0.00, Isramco Inc. dropped to $0.00 for a new 52-week low. By the closing bell, the company's stock was at $76.52 a share for a gain of 0%.
Falling to a new 52-week low is never fun for company's shareholder, but, depending on who you ask, it can be either a buy or a sell signal. Someone bearish on the stock might see it reaching its lowest price in a year as a sign of growing downward momentum and make sure they sell their shares. Bulls, though, are more likely to see a new 52-week low as the stock hitting its low point and anticipate a bounce in the share price.
However one plays it, it's often a critical moment for any stock and should be noted by investors.
Isramco Inc. saw 67 shares of its stock trade hands, that's out of 2.72 million shares outstand. The stock has an average daily volume of 1,392 shares. After hitting a new 52-week low, Isramco Inc. enters the new trading day with a market cap of 207.96 million, a 50-day SMA of $89.17 and a 200-day SMA of $112.95

With its safety record, bustling business environment and "perfect night-to-day activities" — as a recent Sunset magazine article described it — you can't find too much to complain about in the self-sustaining suburb of Glendale.
But when it comes to youth services, the Jewel City is suffering — city documents show they are a high-priority need that's not getting enough attention. Some community leaders fear the absence of programs coupled with economic woes are leading young people to silently fall through the cracks.
The city hopes to change that, according to the 2010-15 Consolidation Plan, which calls for a community-wide strategy and coordination to develop youth programs.
Moises Carrillo, senior community development supervisor of the Community Services and Parks Department who worked on the report, said the plan intends to improve youth and teen welfare by addressing gang activity, drugs and education.
About $4.4 million in funding from the Community Development Block Grant Program will be used for youth programs — with an additional $250,000 for youth programs related to crime and public safety — to create recreational activities, day care centers and after-school programs, tutoring and youth counseling.
As youth development advocate and industry veteran Ara Arzumanian knows, the need for programs that address these issues is dire, especially in a city where leadership needs to dig deep to find those impacted.
"There's not a whole lot of violent crime or burglary, it's relatively safe," he said about Glendale. "It's not even a crime issue. It's about quality of life, development of our community and specifically development of adults."
Arzumanian, then-director of the Glendale-based AGBU Generation Next Mentorship Program and now vice president of the mentoring program of Big Brothers Big Sisters Los Angeles, spoke of the problems he saw with the young people he worked with.
Whether it was gang activity, fraud or suicidal thoughts, the core of the problem, he said, always came down to the same thing — that as adults, we've abandoned them.
"We're not involved in their lives," he said. "We kind of abandon them as teenagers, and we do it benignly."
And by we, he means everyone.
"It's not just an Armenian thing, and it's not just a non-Armenian thing...everyone is affected," he said.
There's also how much the economic downturn has impacted more than just finances.
Rick White, director of the Salvation Army Glendale, said he is surprised to see how much alone time kids have, adding that he's met some families who are trying to make ends meet that have five part-time jobs between two parents. That leaves little time for much else.
"It's not that the parents don't care, or don't want to be involved. It's just that they don't have the time and are struggling economically," he said.
Though Glendale's religious community has made up for some of the slack, it can't meet the demands of a dynamic community fast enough.
Vazken Movsesian, parish priest of St. Peter Armenian Church, said although the church is able to assist families dealing with difficulty, it's usually the last line of defense. This is especially true when it comes to newer immigrants, who struggle with fitting in, finding jobs and balancing American materialism.
"These families are coming here with these expectations of a better life for their children, but they get caught up," he said, adding that it leads to them denying children the parenting they need.
With focus on youth programs making up 54% of the social-service funds, according to the Consolidation Plan, the city plans to make a large impact — a move that can't some soon enough for community leaders who are eager for change.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — Venus Williams fell short in her attempt to capture her first title in more than a year, losing to Ana Ivanovic 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 in the final of the ASB Classic on Saturday.
Second-seeded Ivanovic looked headed for a routine victory in the matchup between former world No. 1s, winning the first set in 35 minutes and holding match point at 5-3 in the second. But Williams fought back to break Ivanovic twice to capture the second set and force a decider.
Williams opened the third set with two double faults to drop serve, however, and played under pressure the remainder of the match. She held two break points in the final game before Ivanovic won four straight points to close out the match.
Williams was playing in her first final since winning her 44th career title at Luxembourg in October 2012. The seven-time Grand Slam champion's ranking has fallen to 47th as she has battled injuries and Sjogren's syndrome, a fatigue-causing autoimmune disease, over the past two years.
Williams had an 8-1 record against Ivanovic heading into the match, with the Serb's only win coming at the 2008 Australian Open.
"She played so well. We've played a lot of great matches and this is another one," Williams said. "I just kept fighting despite the odds. She was playing so well."
Ivanovic, a former French Open champion, captured her 12th WTA singles title and her first since Bali in 2011.
"It was very tough," Ivanovic said. "Venus showed again what a great sport she is in what she's done today and over all these years.
Williams' sister Serena is playing later in the day against Victoria Azarenka in the final of the Brisbane International, another Australian Open tuneup event. Venus said the sisters made a pact before the finals that they would both bring home the trophies Saturday.
"I'll just be rooting for Serena tonight," she said. "I couldn't keep up my end of the bargain. I just played too tough of a player but hopefully she can make it at least one win today."

If you're looking for the big speech about the Boston Marathon bombings and the motivations of the Tsarnaev brothers, wrapping it all up like a nice veal roast in white butcher paper, don't worry.
You won't have to wait long. There's definitely a market for such stuff.
Americans demand instant analysis, and we become impatient, even angry, when we don't get it. Our most popular TV dramas involve forensic investigators with all-but-magical powers who solve cases in one hour. And other such shows have wise old actors playing wise old prosecutors who wrap everything up in the big speech before the final commercial.
So someone else will oblige, and wrap this one up, too, and offer the big speech and layer it with their personal politics. And others of like mind will nod at the wisdom, the way the talking heads nod sagely on those Sunday morning talk shows. The consensus formed, it will begin to harden, it will be framed quite neatly. Politicians will use this to leverage policy.
Here's some instant analysis about what happened in Boston: It defies instant analysis. And what we get if we reach for it too quickly isn't a veal roast.
My suggestion? Wait and see.
"We're not going to know what happened and why and who's involved until it's over," said former Chicago FBI official Ross Rice on Friday, interviewed on the WLS-AM 890 radio show that I co-host with Lauren Cohn. "Who else might have helped them, how they made the bomb, that's all going to come out later."
Much later. Days perhaps, weeks more likely. This might sound like a radical idea, but the politics of the brothers or their religion or their social status may have absolutely nothing to do with what happened.
It just may be that the older brother was a madman, or pure evil or both, and that the younger brother was drawn into it. Or not. There were reports that the older brother had begun praying five times a day, and this news was repeated ominously over broadcast news all day on Friday, with the speculation he had been "radicalized," as if devout Islamic prayer is a threat indicator.
And so real life becomes the backdrop for the Showtime network's splendidly paranoid drama "Homeland," about an American soldier who becomes an Islamic terrorist.
Shortly after the bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon last week, killing at least three and maiming and wounding more than 170, there was a rush to make politics of the tragedy.
If the suspects had been of the political right, we'd be hip-deep in public discussion led by some of the left, all about those intolerant conservatives who cling to their guns and their religion and the Constitution and their alleged deep-seated anger toward government.
The left had nakedly hoped it was the work of a conservative anti-taxer. President Barack Obama's political brain, strategist David Axelrod, noted that the bombing took place on tax day, subtly implying that it could have been the work of a member of the tea party. And the liberal Democrat and former Massachusetts U.S. Rep. Barney Frank used the tragedy to club conservatives who hope to shrink the size of government.
But the suspects are immigrants, their families from war-torn Chechnya, where religious separatists have waged a bloody war of terror against Russia. Now Islam is being blamed and some on the right flex their muscles.
"We can't be bound by political correctness," Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., told the National Review as he called for increased domestic spying based on ethnicity. "We need more police and more surveillance in the communities where the threat is coming from, whether it's the Irish community with the Westies (an Irish-American gang in New York City), or the Italian community with the Mafia, or the Muslim community with the Islamic terrorists."
It's all politics, yes, and politics mixed with tragedy is often ugly. But that's what fills the vacuum.
The one person I found intriguing was the uncle of the suspects, Ruslan Tsarni, who condemned his nephews and praised the U.S. for its freedoms.
Tsarni said that his nephews were losers who may have been radicalized by others and that for all the media talk of Chechnya, the young men had never set foot there.
"Being losers, hatred to those who were able to settle themselves, these are the only reasons I can imagine. Anything else, anything to do with religion is a fraud," Tsarni said.
"My family has nothing to do with that family," he said. "Of course we're ashamed. Yes, we're ashamed. … (They) put a shame on the entire Chechen ethnicity."
It's not every day that a relative of terrorism suspects speaks of honor and shame. Not in America. These are old concepts of vital importance to tribal people, more important to some than food or life.
They were important in America, too, once, but not in modern America, where discussions of shame and honor are ridiculed or avoided the way we avoid anyone with a contagious disease. Such notions are now held at best by immigrants who soon assimilate, or not.
Like those two Tsarnaev brothers, stuck between a dream of a homeland they never visited and an America that welcomed them, two young men who shamed their family by allegedly murdering innocents at a sporting event that commemorates the Western ideal of individual excellence.
Examining all that takes time, and many of us want to wrap up this story now, tightly, neatly, and move on. But let's not move on just yet.

So with 294 nodes and a $500k total price, they've still got over $100k to spend on switches and wire racks. Still, their configuration doesn't seem like it would be the most cost effective to me. A 1U or 2U rack case is just as dense as those shuttle boxes. With a dual CPU board you could get by with half the number of Gb switch ports, which aren't cheap for >24 port switches.

Tell Us Why You Think NU-OU Rivalry Still Transcends Time, Loyalties
Randy York's N-Sider
To "Respond to Randy" click on the link below and choose "Randy York's N-Sider" under "Area of Interest" on the new screen. Please include your name, residence (city/town/state) and share your favorite memories or current thoughts on the NU-OU rivalry. Your comments may be published at the bottom of this column.
Nebraska's biggest football rival makes its once-every-four-year stop in Lincoln Saturday, and the Cornhuskers aren't about to waste a golden opportunity like this to show Oklahoma how much the Huskers respect their program, especially since the Sooners have played a big role in NU's own rise to national prominence.
The level of competition, of course, will determine if ABC made a good decision to put this game in prime time under the bright lights of its television cameras. But one thing is certain. It's a unique chance to showcase what a good rivalry stands for and how much one program respects the other program.
Nebraska Athletic Director Tom Osborne decided last spring to invite Oklahoma's major individual award winners to Lincoln for a Friday night banquet at the Champions Club. Then, at halftime, OU's marquee players and coaches will be honored at the same time we introduce our own legends to another record sellout crowd.
It would be nice to say that only in Nebraska can something like this happen. But the truth is, Osborne's decision is merely a reciprocating gesture to a class move made last year by OU Athletic Director Joe Castiglione to honor the 1971 Game of the Century participants in Norman.
So get ready Husker fans. Start warming up now to show your appreciation for OU's four living Heisman Trophy winners - Steve Owens, Billy Sims, Jason White and Sam Bradford. They will be introduced Saturday along with Nebraska Heisman winners Johnny Rodgers, Mike Rozier and Eric Crouch.
Other Husker major award winners who will attend this weekend's festivities are Trev Alberts, Tommie Frazier, Larry Jacobson, Dave Rimington, Will Shields, Dean Steinkuhler, Aaron Taylor and Zach Wiegert. Other Sooner major award winners who will be in Lincoln are Tom Brahaney, Josh Heupel, Greg Pruitt, J.D. Roberts, Derrick Strait and Joe Washington.
Osborne, Switzer Equally Popular in Rival States
This is just a guess, but look for Barry Switzer to get the same kind of ovation that Turner Gill, Barry Alvarez and Frank Solich got when they popped up on the big screen in Nebraska's NCAA record 300th consecutive sellout celebration.
Memorial Stadium will be rocking, and Switzer will be smiling, waving and ingratiating himself to Husker fans who had a hard time liking him when he kept breaking their hearts. But they respect him now because the emotional wounds have healed, and they realize that he set a benchmark that forced Nebraska to get better and better and better.
Saturday night, tradition will frame a pair of 5-3 teams that have always set higher standards for themselves and will never lose sight of those who have won so much before them. Bob Devaney and Chuck Fairbanks may have been the icons for their respective programs in the early 1960s, but Osborne and Barry Switzer certainly continued the unparalleled standards of excellence set by their predecessors.
And believe this - both states have a healthy respect for each other. "When Barry comes to Nebraska, he's still one of the most popular attractions for banquets and other events," Osborne said last week, adding that he gets a similar reception whenever he speaks in Oklahoma.
Osborne thinks he knows why Nebraska and Oklahoma play every game against each other with respect instead of rancor. "For almost 30 years in a row, the winner of the Nebraska-Oklahoma game determined the Big 12 champion and an Orange Bowl berth," he said. "Most of the time, we were both in the Top 10, and sometimes, we were both in the Top 5.
"OU went through a dip in the '90s, and we went through ours more recently," Osborne said. "Most of the time, the games were highly competitive. They were never nasty. There was never any trash talk. Games were always played very hard with proper respect shown on both sides. The fans of both schools picked up on that healthy respect for each other, so this has been a great rivalry, but never a bitter rivalry."
And that fact alone puts the NU-OU football rivalry in a league of its own.
A month ago, a Huskers.com poll asked fans to name Nebraska's biggest rival in football. A total of 12,310 of you cast a vote, and 7,159 - or 58 percent said Oklahoma is our biggest rival. Colorado and Missouri each received 19 percent of the total vote with CU edging Mizzou by 80 votes - 2,376 to 2,296. Kansas (228 votes) finished fourth with 2 percent of the vote, and K-State (131) and Iowa State (120) each garnered 1 percent.
Osborne: Rivalries Cannot Be Declared
Rivalries, Osborne said, cannot be declared like Colorado tried to do with Nebraska when he was still the head coach. They must be earned through tradition, a consistently high level of play and an acknowledgement from both schools that they are indeed rivals.
Unlike Michigan-Ohio State and USC-UCLA, the NU-OU rivalry thrives and prospers because the Huskers and Sooners have decidedly different recruiting bases. OU recruits Texas primarily, and NU recruits the entire country to complement the Huskers' base that includes important forays into Texas.
"While we have recruited many of the same players, we've never been embroiled in recruiting battles like Oklahoma-Texas or some of the other big rivalries," Osborne said. "We recruit a lot of the players they don't and vice versa."
Last year, when OU hosted Nebraska the night before the game in Norman, Switzer said: "We could never do something like this with Texas."
Recruiting was one big reason why, but former Husker All-America defensive tackle John Dutton was struck by something else Switzer said that evening - that OU coaches, players and fans have never quite grasped how Nebraska has been able to beat the Sooners so often with players they never would have considered recruiting themselves.
Dutton's answer to that is a simple one. "We were always in better physical condition than the teams we played against," he said, "and everyone pushed everyone in practice every single day. It was a relentless mindset. From the scout team to the first team, no one would even think about losing."
The NU-OU rivalry proves that respect can be an integral part of an intense rivalry, and Osborne said Nebraska lobbied to keep the annual game intact when the Big 12 was organizing into two divisions. "It was my understanding that most of Oklahoma's recruiting and most of their livelihood, so to speak, was directed more toward Texas, and so they essentially said they wanted to go to a South Division," he said.
"We thought it was possible to structure across division lines and carve out a game that we would play traditionally every year, but it would kind of throw things out of kilter," Osborne acknowledged. "So we are where we are now now. We still have the same respect for each other, but the rivalry just isn't the same when you don't get to play each other every year."
What do you think? Does the NU-OU rivalry still transcend time and loyalties and if so, how and why?

Voices from Husker Nation
The NU-OU rivalry is special to a lot of fans and players, but it has always held a special place in my heart amid the frustration, tears, and finally cheers! I just felt it was different than most other rivalries. RESPECT!! That is what the teams, players and fans had for each other!! Once I wrote Barry Switzer and told him how I felt! When some friends and I were invited down to Norman to attend a Husker-Sooner Shootout (that is what some tried to moniker the game, but I don't think one ever caught on), we were treated great by everyone - from the football office to the regular fan on the street! Yes, we wore Husker Red all weekend! Every Sooner fan yelled good luck to us! Wouldn't hear that from Boulder, Manhattan, Stillwater, Columbia or any place else!! That was the year we won in the rain!! Charles Thompson broke his leg on the last play. A couple of years later, on behalf of our booster club, I invited Barry to Kearney to surprise Bob Devaney on his birthday. I kept it a secret to everyone! Coach Osborne, Dennis Claridge and a few others came, and it worked like a charm. Made news all over the country and not just in Nebraska!! Great memories ... I still have it on DVD!!! A classic moment, but Barry made it possible. I know he won over a lot of Husker fans that night!!! Definitely a players' coach!! You can see that Tom and Barry are great friends!! What an evening - one that we will never forget. Only problem was, if I hadn't kept it a secret,we would have had a much larger crowd! Some just missed out, but the surprise and look on Bob's face was really worth it. That is what the Husker - Sooner rivalry is. Like Tom says, you can't just make a rivalry. It has to be EARNED!! That's why our fans will treat the Sooner fans this weekend just like we want to be treated ourselves. Wayne Garrelts, Kearney, Nebraska
As an OU graduate of 1968 now living in Gaithersburg, Maryland, I have nothing but the fondest memories of the Nebraska-OU games. In all the years of watching the game in Norman and now seeing it on television here on the East Coast, I can remember great games won by both universities...games played by some of the greatest athletes to ever play college football and coached by fantastic head coaches and their staffs. The thing that I take a great deal of pride in is the fact that I have never seen players from either team play dirty or intentionally try to hurt an opposing player. Neither have I ever heard the fans at either university boo the visiting team. The respect that the players have for one another and that the fans have for great athletes playing a clean and highly contested game to the final seconds is unique. I don't think there is another rivalry not only in college football but in all college sports where that can be said. I really miss not seeing our Sooners play your Huskers every November for the conference championship. I always knew that whichever team won the contest would represent their university and the conference well in some of the biggest bowl games of the year. It's great to see the Huskers coming back with Bo Pelini leading them. I know this year's game will be a great one, regardless of who wins. Thank you, Husker fans, for the class you always show when OU comes to Lincoln. Roy Simmons, Gaithersburg, Maryland
Thanks for a great article. I went to Norman last year for the NU-OU game. I have never, ever been treated as well by the home team at any game I have attended. The Sooner fans were so friendly and accomodating. They all said they liked Coach Bo and it was only a matter of time before the Huskers get back to where they, the Sooner fans, expect Nebraska to be. The Sooner fans are so classy and the school's tribute to the '71 game, which they lost, was awesome. Robb Bunde, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (1987 NU undergrad, 1990 law school graduate)
I liked Tom Osborne's comments about what makes a rivalry ... certainly "high level of play over many years" is one reason Colorado never supplanted OU as our rival. But another aspect you did not touch upon is the quality of the fans. OU fans are a lot like Nebraska fans: They are, for the most part, respectful, knowledgeable, and devoted to their team, win or lose. I am continually amazed when I attend games in Lincoln and some woman my mother's age starts remarking about how well the backup middle linebacker is playing this year, that he's only a sophomore, went to high school in Grand Island, etc. She's read the paper; she's looked at the program; most important, she watches the game. By contrast, CU fans are notoriously bad. When they bother to show up, they often don't watch the game; they certainly don't have the understanding of college football that NU or OU fans have. And we all remember what happened a couple years ago in Boulder when the entire student section had to be escorted out of the game - in front of a national television audience. So I think that's why CU is not our rival. In order to be our rival, not only do you have to satisfy certain conditions, you also have to have fans as classy as ours. That's a tall order, but OU fans have fulfilled this requirement the best over time. And they still do so, even though we don't play OU every year anymore. Brad Carlin, Edina, Minnesota (BS, UNL, Math and Actuarial Science, 1984)
I just want it back "the way it SHOULD be" ... Thanksgiving dinner and NU vs. OU for dessert the next day. Mmmm ... Lisa Miller, Pittsburg, Kansas
As a kid in the '70s, it seemed like every season would end with me in tears, not comprehending how NU could let another win over OU slip away. One of my favorite bumper stickers read, "Bury Switzer". As much fun as it was taking revenge on the Sooners in the '90s, the victories seemed shallow by comparison to the painful losses we had endured in the previous decades. I think my fondness for the old rivalry pops up now in the form of OU being one of my favorite, non-NU teams. I was frustrated with the Sooners in the national championship game last year when they didn't just line up and punch the Gators in the mouth - the way they used to punch NU in the mouth.(And the way NU once punched people in the mouth.) To me, this respect based on true competition is the essence of a good rivalry. By comparison, if CU stopped hating NU with every breath it takes, the "rivalry" would evaporate over night. Time has shown that NU-OU is on a much higher plane. It, too, could evaporate with time, though. If things continue as they have, younger generations will remember the rivalry the same way they remember the Vietnam War: They'll understand it intellectually, but they'll never feel it. That feeling is what we're losing, and I regret that. Jeff Walz, Littleton, Colorado
We're longtime Sooner fans and so excited to be coming to our first Nebraska-Oklahoma game in Lincoln! We enjoy the insightful promotion of Nebraska sports online and have been told that Nebraska fans are truly some of the best in the Big 12! Please be nice to us Sooners. Mick and Linda Vena, Overland Park, Kansas
As a kid growing up in North Platte, Nebraska, we always played football at the park, and we always played as Nebraska vs. Oklahoma. Nobody wanted to be Oklahoma, but somebody had to do it or Nebraska would not have had them to beat up on. As we got older, we only watched the games, yelled at the TV, and it seemed like the winner would always play for the national championship ... only to lose to the much more hated teams from Florida. I still hate those teams from Florida, but I do love it when we play Oklahoma. I would love it even more with a Nebraska win this year. Frank Skufca, Mitchell, South Dakota
The NU-OU game will always be special with the Boomer-and-up age group. Some of the younger people will never grasp what it meant because we don't play them every year anymore. I always hold out hope that something will happen that we could win against Oklahoma, but until we get that tough mentality described in your article, it isn't going to happen. We will be there, though, because we love Cornhusker football. I remember being in Lincoln the night before the NU-OU game, being at Misty's and trading barbs with Oklahoma fans while the pep band marched through the restaurant. It was great. Here's a side note: Why not skip this North and South crap and play everyone in the Big 12 with one additional good non-conference game. Then we would have the NU-OU matchup every year. Who needs Florida Atlantic? The only reason we have the North and South Big 12 is because of money. And who isn't tired of money running everything? Rebecca Plambeck, Hastings, Nebraska
Growing up in Hastings, almost every recess at school included a football, and all of the boys trying to tackle the one that carried it. Every kid out there would call out the name of the Husker player he liked best (I was Rich Glover). I don't ever remember the name of a pro ball player being mentioned. On the days NU and OU played, the atmosphere in the house was electric and intense as the game went on. When NU won, there were cheers and joy. When OU would win, the house was quiet, but only for the rest of that day. The next weekend, we were back cheering for OU to beat whoever they were playing. Rick Schumann, Hawthorne, Nevada
The NU-OU rivalry is one of the best in the nation. I'm a 1980 NU electrical engineering grad from Lincoln, and man, that game was always a blast!! I still think we could get this annual rivalry back by simply eliminating the North-South segregation and combining all 12 teams to a random play with the exception of the rivalries; NU-OU, KU-MU, Texas-A&M, etc., or whatever. Hopefully, the whole BCS debacle will eventually end up with a playoff system anyway, which logically decides the national champion. Yes, I really miss the NU-OU rivalry. Let's bring it back. By the way, I agree that Colorado was NEVER a rival in my book, and NEVER will be. Rick Lewis, Buena Park, California
The memories of past football games played over the Thanksgiving holiday ... the fiery attitude of the players and the coaches, and the very high level of play between OU and NU will forever cast these two schools as rivals. And I'm not talking about just rivals in football. NU players, coaches and fans know that when we defeat any OU team, we are playing at a very high level. Almost without exception, the competition can be used by both schools of where each program is, relative to other schools in the Big 12 and throughout the country. May OU and NU - the two classiest athletics programs in the NCAA - continue to excel in all of their sports and academic endeavors! HERE, HERE!! Paul Jensen, Omaha, Nebraska
A few months after the Game of the Century and my graduation from Nebraska, I moved to Houston with a U-Haul trailer. I believe the trailer had New Jersey plates. I felt they were necessary for me to travel through Sooner Country. I was wrong. The Oklahoma fans I've come to know here in Texas remain incredibly respectful of the Huskers. Although they have a bitter rivalry with the Longhorns, I'm not certain that shows their true colors. Last Saturday here in Waco, I was sitting next to one of the few Baylor faithful. Impressed with the Sea of Red, he said he was amazed how classy Nebraska fans were. He went on to say how ugly every school is when visiting, especially Texas. Then he caught himself and said, "No, Oklahoma has class." I shared with him that my first Oklahoma-NU game was in 1963 (thanks for the video), and although there were heartbreaks, I never remember any ugliness. Charles Packard, Waco, Texas
Growing up as a Nebraska fan, I remember always looking forward to the Oklahoma -Nebraska game. I learned to hate Oklahoma when they beat us and learned to thrive on winning when we prevailed. As I have grown older, I have learned to turn that hate into a respect for both teams and even though I still hate to lose to Oklahoma, I respect them for who they are. I surely do miss playing them every year and hope that situation can be changed somewhere down the road. Maybe we can both do well and play in the Big 12 Championship game every year! Either way, let this Saturday night be a tough game, a fair game, and one with respect from both teams. Go Big Red! Greg Norton, Bellevue, Nebraska

Loose screws focus of Reno air race crash investigation
RENO, Nev. – Federal safety regulators are focusing on loose screws in the tail of World War II-era fighter jet modified to race faster than 500 mph as a likely cause of the crash that killed the pilot and 10 others during air races in Nevada last year.
The National Transportation Safety Board released nearly 1,000 pages of documents and photographs Tuesday as it investigates the cause of the September 2011 crash at the Reno Air Races.
Regulators also point to potential deficiencies in inspection procedures.
The board says inspectors noted screws used earlier were too short in one of the trim tabs that help control the aircraft. The crew reportedly fixed the problem and the plane was cleared to race.
The NTSB says there was "no written procedure or sign off to ensure" that was the case.
