UMHI Downtown Bangor Public Humanities Day Previewed in BDN
The Bangor Daily News advanced the second annual Downtown Bangor Public Humanities Day, which is organized by the University of Maine Humanities Initiative and open to the public at various locations Saturday, May 17. Free events include TEMPO youth string ensemble performances at the Maine Discovery Museum; graphic novel author and illustrator Jimmy Gownley at The Briar Patch; a sculpture lecture and exhibit tour at the University of Maine Museum of Art; and the world premiere public showing of three short films shot in Bangor in 1929 and PechaKucha presentations by UMaine faculty and local practitioners at the Brick Church. "This helps to better connect the rich resources at UMaine with the vibrant cultural scene in Downtown Bangor and other regional organizations," said Liam Riordan, event organizer and UMaine history professor.
Forstadt, Trostel Quoted in BDN Article on Increased Pre-K Enrollment
Leslie Forstadt, a child and family development specialist and associate Extension professor with the University of Maine's Cooperative Extension, and Philip Trostel, a UMaine economics and public policy professor, were quoted in the Bangor Daily News article, "Report: Enrollment in pre-kindergarten increasing steadily in Maine." Forstadt spoke about the multiyear effort by pre-kindergarten advocacy groups to educate the public about the benefits of early education, which may have contributed to the enrollment increase. Trostel said the increase in the number of public preschools offered by Maine school districts also is a result of a funding change that went into effect during the 2006–07 school year and increased the amount of money districts could receive from the state for each 4-year-old taught. The change means taxpayers also benefit when children attend high-quality pre-kindergarten programs, Trostel said, adding that pre-kindergarten allows parents to work and can set children on a path to a higher paying career, which equates to more people paying taxes and less dependence on government services.
Maine Humanities Summit Mentioned in Phi Beta Kappa Newsletter
The second annual Maine Humanities Summit was advanced in the Phi Beta Kappa Society's "State of the Arts & Sciences: May 2014" newsletter.

Chen Awarded Funds to Determine Cost of Producing Milk in Maine
Xuan Chen, a farm credit assistant professor in the University of Maine's School of Economics, received a $28,390 Maine Department of Agriculture grant for his proposal, "Determining the Current Cost of Producing Milk in Maine 2013." The yearlong project aims to accurately determine the costs of producing milk in Maine based on four levels of production as defined by demographic data collected in a mail survey and by milk production records maintained by the Maine Department of Agriculture. About 40 farms will receive on-site visits to collect financial performance data for the year 2013. The information will be summarized and presented to the Maine Milk Commission in written and oral testimony, as well as during state legislative hearings.

Press Herald Reports on UMaine Offshore Wind Project Questions
The Portland Press Herald reported on questions surrounding the U.S. Department of Energy's decision not to award the University of Maine's offshore wind project with a key $47 million grant. According to the article, U.S. Sen. Susan Collins spoke with U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz, who said one reason the project lost out was because federal officials weren't convinced the New England Aqua Ventus floating design made of concrete and composites could be built for less money than competing steel units. "I care a great deal about this and I'm really surprised at the decision," Collins told the Press Herald. "It's just difficult to understand why the administration didn't choose the university as one of the projects." The project will receive $3 million for further research and development, and will be considered for more funding should it become available. The Bangor Daily News also published an editorial on the topic titled, "Go big, or lose big, on offshore wind in Maine."
McGreavy Mentioned in Down East Magazine Article on Amphibian Migrations
Bridie McGreavy, a post doctoral sustainability science researcher for the University of Maine's Sustainability Solutions Initiative and part-time faculty member in the Communication and Journalism Department, was quoted in a Down East magazine article about the spring migration of Maine frogs and salamanders when they travel from the woodlands where they hibernate to the vernal pools where the breed. To help the amphibians safely cross the road during migration, the Lakes Environmental Association (LEA) in Bridgton gathers "crossing guards" on the first warm, rainy spring night, for a ritual known as Big Night. McGreavy was head of the LEA's environmental education program a decade ago when she first read about amphibian breeding habits and led LEA's first organized Big Night. According to the article, UMaine graduate students also attend Big Night to gather specimens and put radio transmitters on salamanders and frogs for tracking.
UMaine Astronomy Professor, Grad Student to Travel to Chile
A University of Maine astronomy professor and graduate student will travel to Chile in July to spend one night of observation at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, east of the city La Serena.
The observatory is home to the newly developed Dark Energy Camera or DECam; the only one of it's kind. The DECam is part of a 4-meter diameter Victor M. Blanco Telescope, which a few years ago was the largest in South America. The DECam is a set of 62 cameras totaling 570 megapixels.
David Batuski, a physics professor, and Andrej Favia, his graduate student, were allotted one night of observation with the telescope on July 2. The highly competitive proposal application process accepts about one in eight proposals.
Batuski and Favia will spend about four hours looking at two superclusters of galaxies in the search for dark matter, what Batuski calls "one of the greatest mysteries of cosmology right now."
Dark matter makes up 27 percent of the universe's content. All observed ordinary matter adds up to 5 percent, while dark energy accounts for 68 percent, according to NASA.gov.
Dark matter doesn't generate or interact with light, making it only observable through deduction of other observations of its gravitational effects.
According to Batuski, the effects of dark matter have been observed on the small scale — seen as galaxies and clusters of galaxies with too much mass. It has also been observed on its largest scale — the entire universe.
Batuski and Favia's research will attempt to observe dark matter on a medium scale — roughly 40 million light years — the first of its kind to their knowledge.
With only one night of observation Batuski and Favia are excited, but most of all are hoping for clear weather.

UMaine Outdoor Survey to Guide State, Press Herald Reports
The Portland Press Herald reported an outdoor recreation survey being conducted by the University of Maine and the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands is expected to give state parkland managers better insight into how residents and visitors spend their time outdoors. The results of the survey will be used for a bureau report on how and why people recreate in Maine. The report, called the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, is required every five years by all states to help decide what outdoor recreation programs get funding from the Land and Water Conservation Fund. This is the first year the bureau has partnered with UMaine. Sandra De Urioste-Stone, an assistant professor of nature-based tourism who is leading the survey, said the sample size is already at 14,000. "We're very happy with the response rate," she said. "Now we can talk with confidence about what Maine residents think of recreational opportunities, and what they like to pursue."
BDN Cites Gabe's Waterfront Concerts Study
A 2013 study conducted by University of Maine economics professor Todd Gabe was cited in a Bangor Daily News article titled, "City reviewing noise complaints in wake of season's first Bangor Waterfront concert." In his study, Gabe found the series brought $30 million into the local economy in its first three years. Waterfront Concerts promoter Alex Gray said an updated version of the report is in the process of being finalized and has been sent out for peer review.

Communicating Value, Importance of Humanities
The University of Maine Humanities Initiative (UMHI) and the Maine Humanities Council will host the second annual Maine Humanities Summit at the Governor Hill Mansion in Augusta on Friday, May 16.
This year's summit, "The Humanities and Public Policy," will feature speakers from across the nation who will discuss ways humanities administrators, faculty and the general public can effectively communicate the value and importance of the humanities to residents and media.
"The summit offers the opportunity to speak to the public and legislators in concrete terms about how important humanities are to our state's civic and economic well-being," says Justin Wolff, UMHI director and an associate professor of art history at UMaine. "We hope to persuade policymakers that funding these areas from kindergarten up through higher education is a strong investment with a high return."
Wolff says in a time of increasing emphasis on STEM education, it's important to remember the value of the humanities, as well.
"The humanities form the foundation of all disciplines," he says. "They teach critical writing and communication skills, as well as awareness and sensitivity to place and identity."
For example, Wolff says, if an engineer plans to build a bridge, it's important for them to understand the cultural heritage and the needs and desires of the people who live in the region that would be affected by the bridge.
Humanities advocates are often faced with the challenge of not having the hard data that STEM backers may have, according to Wolff.
"It's very hard for humanities advocates to find and share the hard data to prove what we know. We know the value of critical thinking, and we know employers want workers with the skills the humanities teach, but it can be hard to prove it with charts and graphs," he says.
About 60 humanities constituents from throughout the state attended last year's summit. Participants came together to talk about areas of broad concern, new initiatives and programs, and ways to coordinate efforts to advocate humanities. Wolff says the inaugural event led to encouraging conversations, including the idea to make future summits more instrumental.
In an effort to make the second summit more focused, the organizers decided to give this year's event a theme — "Humanities and Public Policy." The summit will feature speakers from around the nation who will discuss subjects in one of three areas: advocating the humanities through the use of data and media; the humanities and education policy; and the importance of cultural tourism and the humanities to the state's economy.
Scheduled speakers include Maine residents, including Hugh French, director of the Tides Institute & Museum of Art in Eastport; and Laura Lindenfeld, an associate professor of communication and journalism at UMaine; as well as national leaders of humanities advocacy, such as Stephen Kidd, executive director of the National Humanities Alliance; and Theda Skocpol, director of the Scholars Strategy Network and Victor S. Thomas Professor of Government and Sociology at Harvard University.
UMaine President Paul Ferguson; Jeff Hecker, UMaine's executive vice president for academic affairs and provost; and Hayden Anderson, executive director of the Maine Humanities Council, are slated to give opening remarks.
"Anyone interested in humanities will gain something from the summit," Wolff says. "It's meant to initiate lasting partnerships and collaborations. We want to throw possibilities out and see them take root. It offers a place for people to share ideas for coherent and effective advocacy."
The summit is one of several UMHI events planned for 2014 and serves as a key program in the initiative's outreach efforts. The initiative, housed in UMaine's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and established in 2010, advances the teaching, research and community outreach of the arts and humanities to enrich the lives of all Maine residents.
The mission of UMHI is twofold: To support and promote the excellent humanities scholarship being created on campus, and to bring that research and scholarship into contact with all Maine residents through an aspect known as public humanities, according to Wolff.
"UMHI is a very strong advocate of the public humanities and efforts to break down walls between the university and the community at large," Wolff says, adding that UMaine humanities professors and students are working on behalf of all Maine residents.

Student Grades Improve, Failure Rate Drops in Active-Learning STEM Classes
A significantly greater number of students fail science, engineering and math courses taught lecture-style than fail in classes incorporating active learning that expects them to participate in discussions and problem-solving beyond what they've memorized.
Active learning also improves exam performance — in some cases enough to change grades by half a letter or more so a B-plus, for example, becomes an A-minus.
These findings are from the largest and most comprehensive analysis ever published of studies comparing lecturing to active learning in undergraduate education, says Scott Freeman, a University of Washington principal lecturer in biology and lead author of a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences the week of May 12.
Co-authors are Mary Wenderoth, Sarah Eddy, Miles McDonough, Nnadozie Okoroafor and Hannah Jordt, all with the UW biology department, and Michelle Smith, University of Maine assistant professor in the School of Biology and member of the Maine Center for Research in STEM Education.
The researchers based their findings on 225 studies of undergraduate education across all of the STEM areas: science, technology, engineering and mathematics. They found that 55 percent more students fail lecture-based courses than classes with at least some active learning. Two previous studies looked at subsets of the STEM areas and none before considered failure rates.
On average across all the studies, a little more than one-third of students in traditional lecture classes failed — that is, they either withdrew or got Fs or Ds, which generally means they were ineligible to take more advanced courses.
On average with active learning, a little more than one-fifth of students failed.
"If you have a course with 100 students signed up, about 34 fail if they get lectured to but only 22 fail if they do active learning according to our analysis," Freeman says.
"There are hundreds of thousands of students taking STEM courses in U.S. colleges every year, so we're talking about tens of thousands of students who could stay in STEM majors instead of flunking out — every year."
This could go a long way toward meeting national calls like the one from the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology saying the U.S. needs a million more STEM majors in the future, Freeman says.
Attempts by college faculty to use active learning, long popular in K–12 classrooms, started taking off in the mid-1990s, Freeman says, though lecturing still dominates.
"We've got to stop killing student performance and interest in science by lecturing and instead help them think like scientists," he says.
In introduction to biology courses, Freeman's largest UW class had 700 students. He expects students to read their $200 textbooks and arrive in class knowing the material for the day. Quizzes on the assigned readings keep their feet to the fire.
"These students got into college by being ferocious memorizers so we don't need to spend class time going over what they've already read," Freeman says. "A reading assignment on how sperm and eggs form might then lead me to ask the class how male contraceptives might work. After giving them time to come up with their own ideas and rationale, I might give them a couple more minutes to discuss it with each other, and then I call on students randomly to start the discussion."
Knowing they could get called on at any time encourages students to stay focused, he says.
Smith, of UMaine, agrees.
"Students are asked to come to my class with their 'minds on,'" says Smith, who has incorporated active learning into her classes for eight years.
"My main teaching responsibility includes a general genetics course for undergraduates. My teaching philosophy is that students learn best when they actively engage in the classroom, their conceptions of the material are acknowledged and used as a starting point for instruction and they see the relevance of the material they are learning."
Wenderoth, a UW principal lecturer and paper co-author, says having students use clickers — hand-held wireless devices — to answer multiple-choice questions in class is another example of how active learning keeps students engaged. "We characterize it as, 'Ask, don't tell,'" she says.
For the paper, researchers examined more than 640 studies comparing lecturing with some kind of active learning. The studies, conducted at four-year and community colleges mainly in the U.S., appeared in STEM education journals, databases, dissertations and conference proceedings.
Some 225 of those studies met the standards to be included in the analysis including: assurances the groups of students being compared were equally qualified and able; that instructors or groups of instructors were the same; and that exams given to measure performance were either exactly alike or used questions pulled from the same pool of questions each time.
The data were considered using meta-analysis, an approach long used in fields such as biomedicine to determine the effectiveness of a treatment based on studies with a variety of patient groups, providers and ways of administering the therapy or drugs.
The findings showed grade improvements on exams increased an average of 6 percent. Using grading typical in UW's introductory biology, physics and chemistry courses, a gain of 6 percent would have raised students half a grade turning a C-plus into a B-minus, for example, or a B-plus into an A-minus.
If the failure rates of 34 percent for lecturing and 22 percent in classes with some active learning were applied to the 7 million U.S. undergraduates who say they want to pursue STEM majors, some 2.38 million students would fail lecture-style courses versus 1.54 million with active learning. That's 840,000 additional students failing under lecturing, a difference of 55 percent compared to the failure rate of active learning.
"That 840,000 students is a large portion of the million additional STEM majors the president's council called for," Freeman says.
Community colleges and universities could help faculty incorporate effective active learning by providing guidance — UMaine, for instance, has the Faculty Incentive Grant Program and University Course Observation Program supported by the RiSE Center.
"My hope is that this article both inspires STEM instructors to use active learning strategies, and institutions to provide sustained professional development for faculty, postdocs and graduate students," Smith says.
Media Cover UMaine's 212th Commencement
The Associated Press, WLBZ (Channel 2), WABI (Channel 5) and the Bangor Daily News reported on the University of Maine's 212th Commencement ceremonies in Harold Alfond Sports Arena on May 10. More than 10,200 family members and friends attended to watch most of the 1,660 students — undergraduates, master's and doctoral — receive their degrees. This year's honorary degree recipients were Maine singer-songwriter David Mallett of Sebec, who serenaded graduates with his "The Garden Song," and international best-selling author Tess Gerritsen of Camden. "The University of Maine is now part of your identity just as you are the legacy of the University of Maine," President Paul Ferguson told the graduates. SFGate carried the AP report. The Sun Journal carried an article about a graduate proposing during the ceremony and the BDN also carried an article on UMaine student Josiah Corbin who slept in his car to save money. Corbin graduated Saturday debt-free with a biology degree.
Dill Talks to WLBZ About Grub Season
James Dill, a pest management specialist with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, spoke with WLBZ (Channel 2) about grubs — the immature larvae of beetles that can cause dead, brown patches on lawns. Dill said grubs also attract other animals, such as skunks and crows, that can damage lawns by digging. Dill warns that treatment should have been done in the fall, and any method used now — such as pesticides or microscopic worms that eat the grubs — will only prevent more grubs from emerging later. He adds grub patterns can be unpredictable, and suggests contacting a professional before using chemicals.

Krause, Neal. 2006. "Neighborhood deterioration, social skills, and social relationships in late life." International Journal of Aging and Human Development, 62(3): 185-207.
This study is designed to test two hypotheses. The first specifies that older adults who live in dilapidated neighborhoods will receive less social support and encounter more negative interaction with family and friends. The second hypothesis proposes that the relationship between deteriorated neighborhood conditions and social relationships will depend upon whether older study participants have strong social skills. Data from a recent nationwide survey of older adults suggest that living in run-down neighborhoods is associated with more negative interaction; however, residing in disadvantaged neighborhoods is not related to the amount of support older people receive from significant others. But perhaps more important, the findings further reveal that the effects of living in run-down neighborhoods on social support and negative interaction are completely offset for older individuals who possess strong social skills.

Harmonix has today announced that a brand new Rock Band game is heading to the Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network, but this time it won't require any plastic instruments in order for it to be played.
Harmonix announced the new Rock Band game, entitled Rock Band Blitz on G4TV earlier today and this latest installment into the Rock Band franchise is a downloadable Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network game.
Unlike previous Rock Band games, Rock Band Blitz will be going 'back to basics' in which players only have to use the control pad to enjoy the game, meaning that no plastic instruments will be used – in addition to this Rock Band Blitz will be played in a similar way to Rock Band on the PSP, where players have to switch between instruments to keep the song going.
Harmonix have also confirmed that Rock Band Blitz will be a single-player experience only, with no multiplayer options being added – additionally the game will feature 35 brand new songs, with the whole Rock Band back catalogue (including Rock Band Network Songs) being available to download and play in the game, in addition to this players can export the songs from Rock Band Blitz into Rock Band 3.
Rock Band Blitz will be released on to both the Xbox Live Arcade and the Playstation Network later within the year.

Fine Dining Restaurant Architects in Progreso, TX
Chipman Design Architecture, a retail and restaurant architecture firm with 30 years' experience in the field, is your ally in developing your fine dining restaurant layout and design.
From Weber Grill in Illinois and Indiana to TV featured RPM Italian, from 8 Houlihan's locations to Juniper Grill in Pennsylvannia, from Frida in California to Southern Hospitality in Denver, Colorado, Chipman has travelled a long road as fine dining restaurant architects.
Start exploring how your fine dining restaurant idea for
Fine Dining Restaurant Design Examples
Weber Grill
Chipman Design Architecture was commissioned to design the newest restaurants in Illinois and Indiana, each adding unique elements to the developing Weber dining concept. Interiors focus upon the distinctive open-display kitchens where multiple stainless Weber kettles cook at varying temperatures. Raised lounges, Smokey Joe's Bar and an outdoor patio with seasonal fireside dining enhance the experience.
A private dining room with state-of-the-art grilling kitchen is used for private events and cooking classes. Interiors of the 9,300-square foot fine dining restaurant include a rich, warm color palette, custom lighting and historic display of Weber photographs. As fine dining restaurant architects, Chipman provided complete design and branding services.
RPM Italian
Sleek, stylish and sophisticated are at the very core of Chicago's new RPM Italian. This latest entry into the Melman's Lettuce Entertain You restaurant empire takes its starpower from the RPM monogram (Rancic of television's Giuliana & Bill, noted chef Doug Psaltis and the Melman restauranteur family). The voluminous 8,000-square foot space features a 100-seat lounge with an adjoining 120-seat dining area juxtaposed behind elegant slices of lighted cream walls. Fine dining restaurant architects Chipman Design participated on this project whose development was chronicled on Bravo TV's Giuliana & Bill reality show.
Following a new prototype design established by Houlihan's new leadership in 2012, Houlihan's Restaurants, Inc. developed a modern, warm restaurant design with a laid-back setting, an open kitchen, prominent bar, and relaxed outdoor patio.
Chipman's fine dining architects provided design development, construction documents, and construction administration services to meld the fine dining restaurant prototype design with the city's appearance guidelines and the existing development's exterior. To accomplish this, brick veneer was added to the building's façade, as were custom-made awnings.
The initial project was located in Olathe, Kansas, adding to over 100 existing Houlihan's fine dining locations nationwide, with 7 more being designed by Chipman Design in the forthcoming year.
Juniper Grill
Set in the heart of Pittsburgh, the prototype for Juniper Grill evokes a lodge experience where a scent of the wood-fired grill greets diners at the door. However, Chipman's fine dining architects left any preconceptions of quintessential "cozy" and "quaint" behind when it set the 3,500 square foot interior on a modern edge. Every night of the year, diners can take in sunsets on the four-season patio while they enjoy the chef's southwest flair cuisine.
The distinctively lighted interior is comfortable yet dramatic, featuring rustic stacked stone walls, nestled booths and private tabletops. Ambiance is further enhanced by two lounges serving Juniper's specialty fresh-squeezed juice margaritas and craft beers. Recognized by outstanding press reviews, Juniper Grill has commissioned Chipman Design to update the fine dining restaurant prototype for national expansion.
Southern Hospitality
Located in the Historic Elmo Hotel, Southern Hospitality Restaurant & Bar is elevating southern style menus, great music and hospitality to a whole new level in Denver. Chipman's fine dining restaurant architects created a concept that reminisces over the smoky ambiance of old-South whiskey bars, integrating vintage barrels into the décor where wood becomes the central theme. With the success of this prototype, Justin Timberlake and his partners plan to take the concept national.
Located at the new shopping center, Americana at Brand, in Glendale, California, the owners of Frida wanted an authentic Mexican restaurant with a warm and elegant environment, much like their previous four fine dining restaurants but with some added modernity. Along with the interior designer team, Chipman Design Architecture helped make the 5,824 sq. ft. restaurant stand out with:

Welcome to the awkward dimension, otherwise known as my blog.
Hey, that's alright. These guys are Christians that make Hip Hop. Still not convinced?
"Don't take my word for it."
Humble Beast is probably the most creative "Christian" Hip Hop label I've ever come across. And maybe it's because I don't listen to a lot of the Hip Hop they play on the radio, but even pitted against some secular music, I think Humble Beast gives them a run for their money. My favorite part about it might be how even though each group or rapper under them is creative, each of them is so in some unique, fresh way.
ALERT312 is a group based in Chicago. I'm a relative noob to the HH world, so I can't describe music that well, but they at least say their sound is similar to "K-OS, Mos Def, The Roots, Shad," etc. Beats are meaty and the tone is even a little dark. They take a unique approach to art - for them, art isn't constrained to one form; sonically art connects visually, and their more analogue/acoustic, less special effects kind of rap delves into exploring duality with "redemptive" themes. They expand on this more in their mini-doc here.
But of course, let the music speak for itself. Let me know what you think.
Thank you, Mr. Gleason.
I feel like this levels on a selfie, but yes, I am reblogging myself. My apologies, but I think this is reblog worthy. Stay tuned for a funny story.
Funny story: I was waiting for things to load and download and process on my computer and I remembered this site! But had no idea what it was called. Luckily, I had a vague memory of it being on tumblr, so to tumblr I went. All I knew was that it was in the distant past, so I chose a random page number. 30. Viola!
Here you go.

Say No to Cell Phone Towers in Residential Areas
City of Greater Sudbury Councillor Terry Kett and M.P. Glenn Thibeault have decided to start this petition to call on the federal government to transfer the jurisdiction over cell phone tower location to the municipal level.
Canadians are frustrated with the lack of accountability of the federal government in regards to the approval process for cell phone towers.
With municipal control over the location of cell towers, Canadian residents who live near a proposed tower could object to its location directly to their municipal council and have the final decision made locally.
Please sign the petition below to ask the Government of Canada to transfer the power over the location of cell phone towers to municipalities and get local control over this key concern.

City of Greater Sudbury Councillor

NEW YORK—Stocks shook off the Fed chief's dour view of the state of U.S. growth, reversing early losses on hopes central bankers might be forced to come to the economy's aid.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 78.33 points, or 0.6%, to 12805.54. The blue chips fell hard after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke gave few clues that the Fed would take imminent steps to support the U.S. economy in testimony before the Senate Banking Committee. Investors said Mr. Bernanke's lack of specifics initially disappointed the markets.
"There wasn't any real deviation from what we've been hearing, which is that the Fed is standing by, watching, and will do something more if things deteriorate. What's tough to know is what level of deterioration we'll have to see before they step in," said Randy Frederick, director of trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab.
But the Dow industrials stormed back from a more than 82-point drop to trade firmly in the black, staging their biggest swing from negative to positive territory in nearly six months.
"Folks probably think we're closer to monetary easing in some form, though I don't think that's particularly healthy for the markets," said Michael Farr, president and chief investment officer at portfolio-management firm Farr, Miller & Washington, which has about $800 million in assets under management.
Standard & Poor's 500-stock index gained 10.03 points, or 0.7%, to 1363.67, and the Nasdaq Composite Index added 13.10 points, or 0.5%, to 2910.04. All 10 of the S&P 500's sectors rose, lead by health care and materials stocks.
A trio of bellwether stocks gained ground despite falling profits compared with a year ago.

In U.S. economic news, consumer prices were flat in June, in line with expectations, as energy costs continued to fall. Investors have said the Fed might be less hesitant to roll out additional stimulus measures if inflation is lower. Industrial production picked up in June, rising slightly more than expectations, according to the Federal Reserve. Meanwhile, capacity utilization increased slightly but fell short of expectations.
Elsewhere, home builders' confidence in July had the biggest monthly jump in nearly a decade, another sign of optimism in the housing market.
On Wednesday, Mr. Bernanke will address the House Financial Services Committee in day two of the Fed chief's semiannual monetary-policy address to Congress.
European markets edged lower, and the Stoxx Europe 600 slipped 0.2%, turning red at the start of Mr. Bernanke's testimony. Weighing on investor enthusiasm were weak data on economic expectations out of Germany and a profit warning from French telecom-equipment giant Alcatel-Lucent.
Spain's government sold a batch of short-term Treasury bills at significantly lower yields than in June's auction.
Asian markets were broadly higher ahead of Mr. Bernanke's testimony. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average rose 0.4%, and China's Shanghai Composite advanced 0.6%.

From inside her cubicle walls, Holly Christmas had secretly pined for Connor Knight, craving just one evening of incendiary passion with the elusive millionaire. So when Connor sought a few hours of solace in his virgin secretary's arms, she readily succumbed.
Then, a few weeks after their clandestine encounter, Holly received a surprising late Christmas gift: she was pregnant. Connor quickly offered to take care of her, but Holly knew her scandalous past would never allow her to accept his proposal...not even for the sake of their baby.

How you tackle a defect in your code, specially a server side code? Are you remotely debugging the code at first step? Yes it is convenient to do so and most of the time it save you from the defect. The real question is, can it save you from defects all the time? Imagine you have written a code which is highly dependable on external factors such as data base connection, server level configurations and fortunately all goes well in development environment as well as QA environment. Assume you suddenly got a complaint from the customers that your functionality is not working on production as they expected. How you tackle where it went wrong, are you still willing to perform a remote debug procedure on the production where we need to maintain high availability? Who's gone to save you now? Don't worry logger is here. Most of the time it save us from incidents (not all incidents are bugs)My ABC of defect tackling on a server side code.
- Try to find any unexpected event on server log at the time the issue was raised.
- Identify the last known good server log and compare rest with code.
- If neither of above is able to solve the incident, remotely debug the application.
So it is very important to maintain a good server log. My opinion is we should be able to tackle any issue without remotely debug the code.Impact on application performance by java logging.
Logging has big influence on application performance since logger has to perform IO operations, string concatenations each time we ask logger to log a message so most of the developers avoid them but it is not advisable to avoid all of them. What we can do is to identify what are needed to be log and what are not. Keep in mind both less and excess logging is not preferable.Determine the correct type of before log.
I'm using log4j as my logging provider but SL4j is grooming as the standard logging API. In log4j there are four types. It is really important to place log statement on correct category.DEBUG : The lowest restricted logging type , ideally we should include all the information we need to debug the application but keep in mind DO NOT enable this level on production because it heavily impact on application performance.
Examples :
INFO : More restrictive than DEBUG and only for use to log informative events happens during the execution. Examples :
WARN : More restricted than INFO and used to log warning and alerts. Examples : ERROR : Most restricted and used to log exceptions. We need to take those logs as more serious and we must log more details to find out what is wrong.
Examples :
Important facts you should consider while logging.
Minimize string concatenations whenever you can.
String concatenation is a costly operation we should minimize concatenations, even we are using INFO as our debug level so logger is never log anything mark as DEBUG but in JVM it is executed . As I mentioned above DEBUG should contain all the details we should use to tackle the issue so most probably there will be many string concatenations. Example : Solution 1 : Check debug level when there are too many string concatenations . Solution 2 : Use parametrized logger framework such as SL4J.
Minimize possibility of throwing exception while logging.
Example : There are two possibility of getting NPE in above log statement. I've seen scenarios where actual exceptions are hidden by the exceptions thrown by the logger statements so try to avoid them because loggers are here to help us not to worst the situation.
- Make sure logger is not null before log. Sometimes we are accidently using inherited logger instance which may not be initialized.
- Make sure "person" object never be null in above statement.
Use descriptive log statement.
Is there any use of follow log statement?
- Never log sensitive data such as passwords, credit card numbers.
- Avoid spelling mistakes and try to be grammatically correct all the time.

3.96/5 rDev -3.4%
Appearance - Pours a hazy yellow color with an inch thick, creamy white head that dissipates after a minute. Has a very nice lacing.
Smell - Quite spicy. Light citrus with clove, coriander, and wheat.
Taste - It's pretty delicious. But it's a little too spicy for my liking.. mostly just because I have acid reflux. But it's great tasting. Citrus up front, followed clove, coriander, and white pepper. Wheat is more dominant in the finish, with a somewhat musty flavor and light bitterness.
Mouthfeel - Light bodied with very high carbonation. Too much if you ask me
Overall - This beer is really good. I wish I could have enjoyed it better (if it wasn't for my acid reflux).

I had heard about this line of beers and really wanted to try one,and Iam glad I did.Poured a nnice hazy orange color with big fluffy head,smell was very fresh and citruisy smelling.Taste was nice and tart with some coriander spiciness.Very drinkable and not to light in body,these guys know how to make an excellent wit.

3.3/5 rDev -19.5%
Appearance Light yellow and wonderfully hazy in color with a pretty good head.
Smell This one had a monster coriander aroma that took control of the nose. I could also pick up some orange and maybe a bit of yeast.
Taste A good portion of the coriander from the nose found its way into the taste. There was also a bit of orangish sourness and a light yeast backbone.
Mouthfeel I thought the mouthfeel was a little clumsy. There was some significant carbonation but the body itself was thin-feeling.
Drinkability This was OK, but I probably wouldnt look for another.

A: Gray peach. Thin carbonated head. Crazy bubble streaming. Good head revitalization.
N: Oranges, lemons, a touch of ginger, lactic acid.
T: Deeply spicy. Above a light fruity body are stinging pepper, lemon-ginger, and coriander notes, perhaps cardamom too.
MF: Light bodied. Biting with a strongly acidic, lactic like, (think Hitachinos Milk Stout) sour finish. Very unique and impressive. Not quite fitting of the style but right up my alley.
D: Dry in the way that makes one thirsty for more. Exceptional.

served in a pint glass.
Look (4/5) - Pours a really pale straw (maybe as little as 5*SRM). The color is near perfect, really. Carbonation clings to the inside of the glass. Head is large, fluffy and bone-white in color. It falls a bit faster than I'd like. Hazy is ideal.
Smell (4/5) - Very light, good for the style. The wheat smell (grainy, crisp) comes through. Some nice fruitiness and spiciness, but this is a touch faint. Finish is clean and dry, falling just short of tartness. No hops.
Flavor (4/5) - The flavor is more assertive than the nose. the balance is a lot more fruity. I still get the strong wheat flavor coming out first. The finish is less dry and tart, though. There is more fruit in there (pears/apricots). Some nutmeg comes through, but not very much. Not a lot of orange or coriander (a flavor combo I really like). No hops.
Feel (4.5/5) - Medium-light body with good carbonation. This really dries out the finish and balances the flavor out. Ideal for the style.
Drink (4/5) - A good example of a witbier that's experimented with the spicing - I would have liked to have gotten a bit more of the nutmeg and coriander, though. Highly drinkable and refreshing.

4.53/5 rDev +10.5%
Appearance- crystal clear glowing gold, low brite white head
Aroma- strongly phenolic, like on the band aid level, fades to allow pepper and lemon zest out, light cranberry notes, hey, pear, very fresh, a little saison-like, light spruce note, very interesting....
Flavor - Very pleasant and soft lactic twang, helps balance very sweet belgian pils character, no overt coriander, subtle berry fruit and spice, with more of that spruce / mint character in the finish, light orange citrus tone w/ virtually no edge. Not a sharp beer in any way. Wheat character is distinctly lacking. Lemon and pepper notes . Dry finish.
Overall- definately an unconventional but pleasing wit. Drinks like a Pilsner. Just has no wheat character. I applaud it for not being over the top w/ coriander, if its there at all.

Presentation: 11oz short-n-stubby brown bottle. That crazy owl mocks me. Why, owl? Why?
Appearance: There's yeast ... so this baby pours a cloudy straw-coloured beer with a creamy white head. There's also ample stick and an equal covering lace.
Smell: Major clove/ginger aromas that pretty much stifle everything else.
Taste: Ultra-creamy on the palate and light-bodied, actually a very uplifting beer -- that palate literally fills up with creamy beer goodness. Grainy malt characters kick things off and are quickly replaced by a highly refreshing citrusy/orange hop snap and a spicy ginger/clove/coriander character that is relentless. Pepper flavours are also evident, and dominate with the rest. No real sweetness, but there's some dextrin kicking about, especially as a body builder. Finish is dry, with loads of clove afters.
Notes: This is one hell of a unique and outstanding beer! The flavours scramble the shit out of the palate and there's so much depth to this beer that you need an oxygen tank and a slow rise to reality to avoid failing to the bends. Orange? Clove? All these wonderful flavours ... this is all blissful. I'm calm, collective and at one with the universe. This is more of a Wit than most traditional Belgians ... oh, and it's from Japan. Purchase this beer now.

Cloudy pale orange with a dense rocky white head. Dried orange peel and coriander in the aroma and flavour. Seems the coriander is more dominant in the aroma. Refreshingly crisp and smooth at the same time, dry malt character in the back with grainy tones and nuttiness from the yeast. Spices add some sweetness, coriander is the one that flexes the most. Smooth and rounded grainy flavour helps in the finish. A good and balanced white ale.

11.2 oz stubby bottle with the cute owl on the label and cap. Actually looks white as it pours from the bottle, but in the glass is a slightly hazed, straw yellow body with a modest white head that has good retention and leaves some patchy lace. Odd aroma of slightly sulfuric Saaz hops, orangepeel, and coriander. Mouthfeel is light bodied with high carbonation. Taste has spicy coriander, lemony citrus, wheaty cracker, yeast, orangepeel, and herbal hops that come together quite well. The flavors are all restrained, and the high carbonation helps them meld into a very flavorful, light bodied Wit. Very interesting flavor profile, but it works well. Very refreshing, and an excellent choice as a session ale. Based on my experience with other offerings from this brewery, this is basically a Hitachino Lite.

on tap at the Puck Fair bar in Soho, NYC. pours cloudy apricot, white head, light lacing left on the glass, light sugary nose. This is a light, yeasty brew, spicing is fairly mellow but evident. Citrusy and piney notes late. Fine summer brew, pleasant, well crafted wheat that is a treat if you can find it on tap.
