Jack McPeak and his wife Debra are both suffering from serious injuries after their motorcycle crashed into a pickup truck. The motorcycle was traveling west on Highway 92 yesterday afternoon, when the pickup hauling a trailer in front of them made a sudden turn and failed to signal which caused them to collide.
The driver of the truck, Kenneth Kelly, of Hotchkiss is being charged with Driving a Defective Vehicle. Jack McPeak has serious face lacerations and a broken leg and his wife is suffering from a collapsed lung, both of them have broken ribs.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Successful adaptation of U.K. comedy series finally gets pink slip
At first glance, it seemed like a pretty bad idea.
Making a U.S.-network adaptation of the beloved BBC comedy The Office -- a short-run series (only 15 episodes were produced) whose squirm-inducing brilliance was the product of the unique comic vision of creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant -- was an endeavour with very limited chance of succeeding.
Hollywood, after all, has had a rather checkered history when it comes to creating American versions of British TV shows. And the better the Brit original, it seems, the worse the U.S.-produced spinoff usually turns out to be.
Sure, there have been successes, like the adaptations of Till Death Us Do Part into All in the Family, Steptoe and Son into Sanford and Son and Man About the House into Three's Company, but for every winning across-the-pond spinoff, there has been a handful of New World losers along the lines of Coupling, Men Behaving Badly, Prime Suspect and, heaven forbid, Payne and Amanda's (both of which were short-lived attempts to re-create Fawlty Towers).
The track record is so laughably bad, in fact, that there's actually a series (the clever Showtime-cable comedy Episodes, starring Friends alumnus Matt LeBlanc) that lampoons Hollywood's ham-handed approach to importing and adapting Britcoms. It's funny because it is, on many levels, true.
The original Brit version of The Office ran for only two seasons, and then Gervais and Merchant shuttered the Wernham Hogg plant and moved on to other projects. If NBC's spinoff turned out to be successful beyond its initial six-episode run, its writers would be expected to churn out more scripts per season (22) than Gervais and Merchant did for their entire series.
The smart money was on a disastrous outcome. But then something happened. The U.S. version's producer, Greg Daniels, whose previous TV success was in animated comedies (The Simpsons, King of the Hill), did a remarkable job of casting the new NBC project.
Steve Carell, fresh off a five-year stint as a fake-news correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, was hired to play Michael Scott, the office manager at the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company's branch in Scranton, Pa.
And he did what nobody thought was possible: he immediately made the role originated by Gervais (as Wernham Hogg's creepy Slough-branch boss, David Brent) his own, and gained the respect of even the Brit version's most staunch defenders.
Carell, as Scott, offered a more comfortably direct form of stupidity than the skin-crawly type exhibited by Brent, and because of that, he created a character more palatable to viewers for the long run.
Daniels and company surrounded Carell with a great supporting cast, led by Rainn Wilson as hyper-efficiently inept second-in-command Dwight Schrute, and John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer as headed-for-romance officemates Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly. Over time, many others in the ensemble cast would be elevated to equal-player status.
But it was Carell who drove NBC's version of The Office, and by the time he departed the series after Season 7, most of its momentum -- both creative and commercial -- had been lost. The diminished importance of the series as a ratings/revenue driver is evident in the fact it's been a couple of seasons since a Canadian network saw fit to simulcast it in this country.
Most observers believe it would have been wise to end the series a couple of years ago with Michael Scott's departure, but ratings-starved NBC -- which has very little success launching new comedies in recent years -- simply could not afford to shut down a series that was still producing a positive bottom line.
And now, as The Office bids farewell with a super-sized 75-minute finale (Thursday at 8 p.m. on NBC), it's a goodbye that not all that many people will even notice. The episode, in which it has been widely reported that Carell will make at least a cameo appearance, will involve the Dunder Mifflin gang gathering at a local tavern to watch the PBS broadcast of the documentary whose filming they've been part of for the past nine years.
It's a smart way to bring closure to the series, and those who tune in the finale will likely be well rewarded for the effort. It won't be remembered as one of TV's greatest-ever sitcoms, but the U.S. version of The Office accomplished something pretty spectacular just by being pretty darned good.

Missy's review

Read in January, 2012
I am still enough of an engineer to be fascinated by the sections on Marconi and his dogged pursuit of wireless communication, especially since nobody had any idea of how it actually worked and were just flying blind and trying out everything until something worked. On the murder mystery side, I went back and forth... there were more than a few spots where I stopped and thought, 'no, really, I don't care how much of a bitch she [the victim] was, she didn't deserve to be hacked to pieces [presumably by her long-suffering husband],' which was how some of the descriptions of family life were reading to me.

Not going to lie, this video of male models — from the spring 2012 fashion shows — lip-syncing Elvis Presley is pretty hot. But it also reminds us of the gas fight scene in "Zoolander."

Los Bros. Gallagher return after their Heathen Chemistry produced not a banging wallop but a fizzling so-what. Perhaps it was their master plan all along to lower the bar and then leap over it when no one was expecting it, unless they were making bad records on purpose, in which case they're good only by accident these days, which is at least something. Can't say the same for, oh, Lenny Kravitz, another tribute act who can't even do that much anymore.
Don't Believe the Truth grows on you like a fungus -- all of it, that is, save for the tune that filches from Soundtrack of Our Lives, itself a second-rate Who cover band dolled up in Gandolf's wizardly togs, but whatever. And the song that pilfers the riff from the Velvet Underground's "I'm Waiting for the Man"...or is that the Pixies' "Here Comes Your Man"? (It's some song with "man" in the title, seriously.) Oh, and that song that sounds like badly played Badly Drawn Boy. Oh, and can't forget that bit that pops a cap in Revolver, or at least could have gone traveling with a few stalwart Wilburys. Come to think of it, there's really only one great song on Don't Believe the Truth: the closer "Let There Be Love," one of those anthemic Oasis ballads that escorts you out with a wistful grin and a nostalgic tear shed for a band that used to be great, can still be on occasion, and isn't often enough to justify your ever giving a shit again.

Help me break out of my rut

Looking for some new "higher end" restaurants to try, I always go to the same places, and like them, but want to try some new places. New American/interesting flavor combos probably my cup of tea. My go to places, no 9, clio, journeyman, bergamont, harvest, eastern standard. went to menton recently, dont need to go back, nothing wrong, but nothing great for price point either. Been to trade, also no need to go back. Have not been to oya, just b/c of all that boston mag controversy a few years back, maybe I should get over it? TW food seems interesting, have not been. Anything else? thx hounds!
My dining dollars are focused around Kendall. The two higher end places we frequent are Catalyst and West Bridge.
Not sure what the Boston Magazine controversy around O Ya was, but I certainly enjoyed the omakase when I went.
It might not be 'high end' enough, but maybe Hungry Mother?
Went to Salts recently and enjoyed the food, though the service was sort of laughably over-the-top pretentious, as if the server had been watching a lot of Top Chef.
re: mkfisher
Oh, that hatchet job from six years ago? Yeesh. Well, it doesn't change the fact that they serve some fine bites of food. I still rank their foie gras sushi as the best thing I've eaten in Boston.
re: Boston_Otter
Couldn't agree more. There's one high profile local chef who I know to be an awful human being. He also happens to cook one of my favorite dishes in town, so I still go to his restaurant. It seems silly to not go to a place based on a magazine article from six years ago.
I would definitely get over it and go to O Ya, also I like Island Creek Oyster and Sycamore in Newton.
I think TW Food and Asta would be worth a visit.
As far as O Ya, here is a more recent review than the Boston mag piece a while back:
I found O Ya to be the type of place where "value" has to be thrown out the window. If you enjoy it for what it is and truly put the cost out of your mind, you'll have a great time. If you start comparing the cost of a meal there to other high-end temples of gastronomy around the country (or world), you may end up being a little more sinnacle about the experience, and may even find it a rip off. But what has to be kept in mind is how big the menu is and the cost to keep a menu of that size running at that quality level. I think the writer was a little too focused on price in this piece, but it still may be helpful in providing a recent report.
re: GretchenS
agree. also Oleana.
re: opinionatedchef
Just out of curiosity, why is Hungry Mother on the don't bother list? I haven't been in a while but always loved it. (I do agree about Ten Tables and (especially) Bondir, though.)
re: viperlush
Nice clarification; I wondered the same.
It's been a while since I went to Lumiere, but I'd have put it on this type of list. Maybe Troquet, too - Troquet's food isn't four-star, but it's solid and decent while you play in the wine cellar.
Oh, and Oleana.
re: chefboyardee
Please report back. Have a great time!
re: chefboyardee
hope I didn't steer you wrong: we enjoyed it and it seemed to fit your other pleasures. Do report back.

Book Description:
An inquiry into the religious environment of the person Muslims hail as the "Envoy of God" and an attempt to trace his progress along the path from paganism to that distinctive form of monotheism called Islam."Peters writes very well. The scholarship is excellent, and the book fills a gap in the available material. There are several lives of the Prophet, but none that does what this one does. Most are written to prove a particular thesis about the nature of the Prophet's career. This one simply puts down what can be known with any certainty about the career of Muhammad from the point of view of the contemporary secular historian."-- William C. Chittick"This book will become a major point of reference for years to come." -- Said Amir Arjomand

The actor, who made a special appearance in the recent Bollywood movie directed by Prabhu Deva Rowdy Rathore, has been conferred with many awards and honours including two Tamil Nadu State Film Awards.

Downers Grove high schools reviewing Chromebook program
Downers Grove high schools are test-driving a strategy to equip all students with individual devices.
Community High School District 99 is completing a pilot program in which 200 students received their own Google Chromebooks and were allowed to use them throughout the school day and sometimes at home for their lessons and homework, officials said.
The one-device-per-student initiative, commonly referred to as 1-to-1, has been underway in Grade School District 58 for the past year. About 3,600 students from kindergarten through seventh grade will have their own iPad Minis this fall, a move that has cost the district about $1.3 million.
"This is a wave sweeping the country in education," Superintendent Mark McDonald said. "Our way with technology implementation in District 99 always has been to take our time and do things meticulously."
"This is not a technology initiative, it's a learning initiative," Technology Director Rod Russeau said. "We wanted to put devices in students' hands, give teachers and students that true experience of what a 1-to-1 learning environment is actually like."
Eight teachers from Downers Grove North and Downers Grove South high schools were picked to participate in the trial, and their students have 24/7 access to their computers, according to Gina Ziccardi, assistant superintendent for student learning. Several other classrooms of students also get to use the devices but only at school.
The students and the teachers in the pilot vary, from struggling to honors-level students, as well as teachers who have varying proficiency with using technology.
Students told school district employees the Chromebooks helped better organize notes in class and made it easier to quickly search for information when doing research. Students also said the computers were more convenient and reduced the number of books and materials they had to carry.
Erin Moore, a social studies teacher at North, said Chromebooks have helped her with student assessments and have allowed students to participate in class in different ways.
Chris Gales, a biology teacher at South, uses a class website for his students and the computers help the kids better organize their work.
"A lot of times the students will lose their assignment notebooks or forget to use them," Gales said. "But if they have their Chromebook, all they need to do is look at the screen and they know what they're doing for the day."
Gales also said the computers have helped speed things up in class, and enable students to complete assignments more quickly.
"All we need to do is provide them with the learning opportunities, and they're going to jump all over it," Gales said. "This is the world they live in."
No final decisions have been made about whether to implement the technology on a larger scale, and no finances have been devoted to it. Russeau said administrators plan to return to the board later in the summer with a report with their findings and recommendations.

No one seems to remember the second part of Occam's razor as rumored1 to be stated by Albert Einstein: "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."
That is an issue I am encountering quite frequently these days. We see it in discussions about markets, politics, sports, economics, indeed, just about any field where questions of an unknown future drive debate. This morning, I want to briefly discuss the issue, pointing out a few recent examples. My advice is to be wary whenever you see this approach.
First, let's understand what Occam's Razor actually means: When we select among competing explanations for any given unknown, we prefer that which offers the simplest explanation of any effect. This includes that which makes the fewest assumptions, and requires the least logical contortions. However, one should proceed to simpler theories until simplicity can be traded for greater explanatory power. This is especially true when it comes to explaining complex events with lots of moving parts.
Consider the following statements:
Politics: No modern president has ever won a second term when the unemployment figure was 7.3% or more.2
Markets: The average Bull Market lasts 31 months.3
Sports: The new line up of (Choose: NY Knicks Jeremy Lin/Carmelo Anthony or NY Jets Mark Sanchez/Tim Tebow) locker room disruption.
Credit Crisis: High levels of leverage existed prior to the crisis without incident.4
Apple (2004-10): Has a very high P/E.
Affordable Housing Policies: Allowed lower income people to purchase homes they could not afford.
Note that I did not include any conclusion based upon these single variable analyses. But these are the simple, recognizable memes circulating the intertubes. They lay traps for the unwary. The conclusions the authors of these draw are:
1. The incumbent will lose in November
2.Sell your stocks
3. The Knicks and Jets cannot win a playoff
4. Leverage was not a factor in the credit crisis
5. Don't Buy Apple
6. It was all Barney Frank's fault
These are all probability questions. When doing these analyses, we do not know what the future outcome will be. Certitude in the face of probable outcomes is discouraged, as is gross over-simplification.
I have addressed many of these over the years (I want to get to the leverage issue soon).
Some people work backwards: They start with their conclusion, than set about hunting for any data that supports it. This is the worst form of confirmation bias. The preferred method is to research all of the relevant data, and see what conclusion that leads you to.
Bottom line: When it comes to investing, the errors of single variable analyses, oversimplification and bias all can be very expensive. Recognize these flaws when you encounter them in any sort of commentary, and adjust your expectations accordingly.

Principal Plot: Inflation Is Not Proceeding from Large Scale Money Growth as Monetarists Would Expect. Keynesians Are Not Providing a Complete Enough Explanation to Laymen as to Why That Is So. Frustration and Name-Calling Ensues.
And a Subplot: Warren Buffett Walks into a Bar . . .
Over recent months, an intense debate between two opposing schools of economics has reached a crescendo. The relationships—at least in print—among members of the so-called saltwater school of economists (those leaning towards Keynesian fiscalism, and more-managed forms of capitalism) and economists in the freshwater or Chicago school (broadly favoring less-regulated, free-market economies with an emphasis on monetary matters) has never been overly warm. But the degree of name calling and apparent unwillingness to find common ground has come to a head since the beginning of the year—especially following the U.S. economic profession's annual conference the first weekend after the New Year's break.
With the World Economic Forum at Davos on tap for this week, providing yet another occasion to read tea leaves and tout theories, it is a good time to consider whether polarization of opinion isn't as much of a problem as polarization of income and wealth in the developed world. Is the almost complete absence of consensus among mainstream economists yielding drama but paralyzing decision?
To my view, the answer to the foregoing is a decisive yes. So, I have decided to tackle the issue with a bit of humor, together with my own explanation of the underlying problems and suggestions for how to go about reaching a very elusive meeting of great minds.
The debate as it proceeds each week in what I now title Real Economists of the Ivory Tower provides an often amusing diversion for its wonkish audience—but I am afraid it will never be successful mass entertainment.
Its cast—Paul, John, Robert, Brad, Simon, Scott, Tyler, and others—can fling their credentials and arguments at one another, but if you don't know who I am referring to in this sentence, I doubt you would DVR the series. (Fortunately, we all have a guy named Mark—who happens to be a new colleague of mine in our work at The Century Foundation—to keep everyone honest, so you can always head over to his invaluable blog if you miss any episodes.)
Economist cat fights, alas, seem never to involve sex. There's money, but no bling. And the typical insults run the gamut from "you weren't listening during Econ 101″ to "you are so out of it that you can't even understand what I am saying."
That economists don't understand what each other are saying, of course, comes as no surprise to laymen—as everyone else can't understand them either.
So, with that in mind, and as technical as the subject matter may be (this is, actually, a serious essay), I'll do my best to present in plain language the problem that is the source of the foregoing drama. For more advanced readers, I will provide a somewhat unconventional explanation of a possible middle ground that I will call, for now, an Exogenous Supply Incongruity (so named as to make certain no one understands me either until they read on).
The Synopsis to Date
In the major nations of the developed world—first in Japan, over a period of nearly two decades, then in the United States, beginning in 2008, and now (however reluctantly) in Europe—monetary authorities (central banks) have been massively increasing the portion of the money supply over which they have direct influence in an effort to revive their economies. In a conventional cyclical downturn, it is received knowledge that looser money encourages additional economic activity (spending, investment, employment, etc.) by making money cheaper and discouraging saving/hoarding.
Cheap and ample money would also encourage lending, and thereby would be expected to increase broad money supply—and, ultimately, to induce inflation across economic sectors.
In response to economic collapse, central banks have now gone well beyond conventional methods of expanding money supply, including purchasing investment assets (typically government issued or insured) in the open markets and pushing cash out to the sellers of those instruments, in the expectation that they will do something with that that cash to improve economic activity. This action is known as quantitative easing, which is a fancy term for what desperate central banks must resort to when they've already dropped short-term interest rates to essentially zero (the so-called zero lower bound, beyond which conventional monetary policy is obviously useless).
A limited amount of re-inflation itself is generally regarded as being a net positive to the recovery of an economy, especially after a debt binge such as we experienced in the 2000's. The principle concern in this regard, however, is not to induce runaway inflation—something that is bad for a whole host of reasons that I do not need to go into here (especially because a majority of Euro-American economists and politicians appear to be preternaturally so afraid of inflation that one must assume that they all must know exactly why that is—or perhaps not, but I digress).
In any given developed nation, along with inflation, one would expect to see the value of that nation's currency fall in relation to those of others that are not experiencing similar rates of inflation—thus furthering inflation in imported goods and making the inflating economy more competitive relative to those other countries. One would also then expect interest rates to rise in order to maintain levels of real (inflation adjusted) returns, thus getting things off the zero bound and back to normal.
The problem today is that, not only have conventional and extreme/unprecedented forms of monetary easing failed to restart brisk growth in developed economies, but massive monetary growth has not resulted in sustainable inflation, either. To be sure, there have been spikes in U.S., U.K., and European inflation (and slowing deflation in Japan—which is how you need to measure things over there), but they have arisen from expectations that quantitative easing would surely result in sustained inflation—not the actual thing itself.

French presidential candidates are campaigning for the last day before voters go to the polls on Sunday.
No campaigning is allowed the day before the election, but on Friday both Nicolas Sarkozy, the French President and his Socialist rival Francois Hollande have clashed over the euro crisis in the final exchanges.
In separate radio interviews on Friday, President Sarkozy said he had helped steer the euro zone through the worst of its debt crisis, making him the safest pair of hands, while the Hollande blamed him for mismanaging France's strained public finances.
Speaking at a final rally in Bordeaux on Thursday, the front-runner, Hollande, said that he was seeking great change in France.
Sarkozy will be holding his last campaign event in Nice on Friday evening.
Polls show the two men neck and neck, but Hollande is expected to win the run-off vote on May 6.
The far-right candidate, Marine le Pen, could take around 17 per cent of the vote, while Jean-Luc Melenchon, a leftwing candidate, has come from behind to see poll ratings at 14 per cent.
The Centrist Francois Bayrou is likely to come in fifth place.
However, the latest polls suggest nearly one in four French voters have yet made up their minds before the vote.
Speaking at the Bordeaux rally, Hollande said: "I want to profoundly reform my country: engage in a tax reform for justice, a reform of the banks to dominate the finance world, a territorial reform to create a new decentralisation policy, a reform of justice to make it independent."
Hollande urged supporters to vote for him in the first round to give the Socialist Party a clear lead over his main opponent, Sarkozy, whom he referred to as "the departing candidate".
Meanwhile, in Paris, an estimated crowd of 60,000 gathered in support of Melenchon, who attacked the EU's austerity measures, which he considers dangerous and socially unfair.
"By kicking Sarkozy out, not only will we get rid of a man who made our lives miserable, not only will we feel happier and will we improve our conditions of life, but more than anything else, we will break in the old continent, the Merk-ozy [Angela Merkel and Sarkozy] axis, the heart of Europe's austerity plan that has strangled our people."
While Melenchon is unlikely to make it to the election's second round, he has managed to gather around him numerous left-wing movements that were shattered before.
Campaigning has focused on the economy, with Sarkozy boasting of good economic growth in 2011 but struggling with unemployment at 10 per cent.
The candidates have clashed over how to alleviate voter fears over the European debt crisis, with Sarkozy stressing austerity and Hollande pushing to stimulate growth.
Hollande and Sarkozy both have promised to balance the budget, but Hollande has emphasised his focus on growth rather than austerity.

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

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

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies. Nest, a Google company, detects temperatures inside homes and automatically adjusts it by tracking its user's habit. These technologies are quickly developing and with it come challenges such as bridging infrastructure gaps, abiding by privacy concerns and making the concept a reality. These challenges can't be addressed w...

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

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world.

New Recipes This Week: Chicken Laksa, Clementine Cake, Thai Mussels
Feb 1, 2013 4:01 pm
Cook your way through our newest recipe additions
You'd think this week's new recipes would all be wings, fried stuff, chips, dips — you know, the Super Bowl essentials. We were a few steps ahead of you. We've been testing tailgating recipes since we finished the Thanksgiving turkey, rounding them up all week for you to practice before the big game. Plus we wanted to save ourselves for the epic party we're throwing with Tumblr this Sunday.
In the meantime, we're just trying to follow this weather around by keeping things bright, tart and packed with flavor. Braising just doesn't seem appropriate...but we're not putting away our Dutch ovens quite yet. Whatever winter throws our way, we'll be ready. Unless it's a tornado.
Check out what we added to the Recipes section this week.

This time, though, HuffPo hit the nail on the head.I loved this column, written by a blogger who calls himself the Unappreciated Pastor.
