Local restaurants serving our 2015 attendees included Hunter Steakhouse, Famous Dave's, Hooters and Domino's Pizza.
The beach will be loaded with military land and amphibious displays, including the LCAC, for people to explore and learn about. The EOD team will be on hand to demonstrate their latest equipment and answer questions.
All Active Duty Military and their dependents must bring an Active Duty Military ID Card to get unlimited rides, activities, and a free lunch. This event is open to the public. Tickets are available for purchase for children's rides. Entertainment and military displays are free to everyone.
Whether you are a civilian who wants to show your gratitude and enjoy a day of fun, or a member of the military family, this is a day for you: Show your appreciation or to be appreciated!

This holiday season consumers will spend more than $35 billion on gift cards, according to Archstone Consulting.
Retailers have primed gift card sales with creative marketing. Cards can be purchased at locations other than where they are to be redeemed, such as when iTunes gift cards are sold at pharmacy counters. "Retailers are innovative in their use of gift cards, making them double as DVDs and CDs and offering them in bags, boxes and tins," said Jeffrey Grau, eMarketer senior analyst.
Mr. Grau noted that The Home Depot this holiday season plans to offer a plastic gift card with how-to home improvement videos.
In 2006, one-quarter of gift cards were purchased online, according to a study conducted by The Marketing Workshop for Comdata.
Archstone pointed out that growing gift card usage does not necessarily translate into holiday sales growth, since revenue cannot generally be recognized until the cards are redeemed.
The company predicted that holiday retail sales would increase 3% in 2007, marking the slowest growth rate in retail holiday sales in the past five years.
"Retailers will see limited growth in holiday spending, resulting in a 'season of discounts' that will reward savvy shoppers," said Dave Sievers, retail and consumer products practice leader at Archstone, in a statement.
"While this tactic will drive shoppers to the stores, it won't allow retailers to overcome the adverse economic factors that will affect sales, including the downturn in housing and a tightening credit market," Mr. Sievers said.

Choice Hotels Deepens Roots And Spreads Support In Rockville
SILVER SPRING, Md., Oct. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Choice Hotels International (NYSE: CHH) is further deepening its commitment to Montgomery County and the City of Rockville through a special Rebuilding Together day of community service on October 19, 2012 . Rebuilding Together is a nationwide home rehabilitation organization for the most vulnerable of our population – low-income families and individuals, the elderly and disabled veterans. It is also the Choice Hotel's signature cause. In advance of relocating its global headquarters to Rockville Town Center next year, 75 associates from the lodging company will work side by side with volunteers at a Rockville-based organization identified by Rebuilding Together. Interfaith Works is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency which works to aid and empower low-income and homeless families and individuals in Montgomery County."As a hotel company we feel helping people who face challenges with food and shelter just makes sense," says Steve Joyce, President and CEO of Choice Hotels International. "Our associates are very excited to help Interfaith Works support as many people as possible." It is yet another way Choice Hotels is getting to know its new neighbors in Rockville. In August 2011, Choice Hotels, one of the world's largest hotel franchisors, broke ground for its new state of the art headquarters at Rockville Town Center after being based in Silver Spring for more than 40 years. More recently, the company announced the continued progress of a new upscale Cambria Suites hotel which will be constructed next to the new headquarters building. "It would be easy for a company, or anyone for that matter, to simply cut a check for charity," continues Joyce. "But our associates wanted to take action to show how serious we are about supporting not just the business community of Rockville, but our new neighborhood as a whole. So we're giving our associates the day away from the office to do just that." The Choice Hotels employees will be joined by Lynne M. Benion, CEcD, Associate Director, Rockville Economic Development, Inc. who will roll up her sleeves for the day in support of the project. In addition to helping people achieve skills that lead to self-sufficiency, Interfaith Works provides shelter, clothes and food to neighbors in immediate need. Teams of Choice Hotels associates will assist with tasks such as assembling and moving furniture, as well as sorting and organizing the large volume of donated items.

I live and Portsmouth NH and am pregnant for the first time. I'm looking for in-home daycare options. Any recommendations?
Seacoast area in-home daycare options?
Comments (4)
We are Portsmouth area too. I searched for one not too long ago for my son, didn't come up with much.. most of them aren't licensed, which may or may not be a huge deal for you.
I'd suggest checking out care.com, I think the people on there are going to be a lot more legit than someone you may find on craigslist.

I have heard that Edgewood Early Learning is great, although I think it might be expensive. It is on South Street. I bring my son to South Berwick, ME because I work close by. It is 20 minutes form Portsmouth. Although I don't think there are any openings. There is also a place over by the Braskeller/Dinnerhorn/Planet Fitness. When I was pregant I called them and was wait listed.
Thank you for the information! Was the place by Planet Fittness area Kindercare? I'm suprised at the lack of in-home childcare options there are out there.
Type in the zipcode and you can search through here. You can see how many violations they have had, and usually you can click and see the report (to see if it a playground toy height violation, or a corprol punishment violation)
I used this search to find my son's daycare (Little Lambs in Dover, he's been there 3+yrs and we are very happy). I did a LOT of calling around, then the ones that passed the "phone test", I visited.

Volleyball Opens Weekend Invitational With 3-0 Sweep Of George Washington
LIVE STATS: vs. #15 BYU l vs. New Hampshire
Another strong offensive night from Lydia Rudnick and a 17-dig performance from freshman Sarah Daschbach led the Princeton women's volleyball team to a 3-0 sweep of George Washington in the opening match of the George Washington Invitational.
Though the match was a sweep, the Tigers fought hard to win all three sets. After a 25-20 opener, Princeton clawed out wins of 26-24 and 25-23 to take the match.
The Tigers faced a game ball in the second set, but a service error evened the score at 24-24. Freshman Kendall Peterkin, who finished the match with eight kills and eight digs, scored to give Princeton a 25-24 edge, and she followed with a block to give Princeton a 2-0 lead.
The Tigers faced a 21-21 tie in the third, but scored three of four to earn a match ball. A final Peterkin kill gave Princeton its third victory of the season.
Sophomore Ginny Willis recorded 25 assists, and she finished second to Daschbach with 11 digs. Junior Leah Jordan had five kills, three blocks and no hitting errors, while classmate Chelsea Parker added five kills.
Princeton will play twice on Saturday, starting with a noon showdown against No. 15 BYU, which moved to 10-0 Friday with a sweep of New Hampshire. The Tigers will conclude the weekend with a 5 pm match against New Hampshire. Both matches will be video streamed live (subscription required) on the George Washington site, which you can find here.

Forbes: ESF a Best Buy College
Ranking takes consumers' point of view
The SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) has earned a place on Forbes' "Top 100 Best Buy Colleges" list for 2012.
ESF is No. 54 in the rankings, which take into consideration a school's quality and the cost of attendance.
The Forbes rankings are calculated by taking a school's overall quality rank from Forbes' annual list of "America's Top Colleges" and dividing that number by the school's tuition (in-state where applicable) and additional fees. Forbes states, "Our quality rank hones in on the quality of teaching, career prospects, graduation rates and the levels of debt graduates seem to amass."
Other SUNY schools on the Best Buy list are the four university centers (at Binghamton, Stony Brook, Buffalo and Albany) and the college at Geneseo.
ESF has been listed on Forbes' Best Buy list each year since the rankings began in 2010. The College has also been included in the magazine's broader ranking of "America's Top Colleges" for each of those years.
According to Forbes Editor Michael Noer, "This is a really interesting list. Other places do rankings and a lot of their rankings are focused on things like reputation and how much money they spend per student. What we really try to do here is to look at colleges as a consumer might look at them."

Last year around this time, the sports blogosphere was abuzz with rumors that the Mariners were looking to pick up slugging Baltimore Orioles outfielder Luke Scott. Around that same time, half-term Alaska governor Sarah Palin jumped on the I-don't-think-Obama-was-born-in-America bandwagon. Turns out both individuals were apparently sipping the same Kool-Aid.
Besides talking about what the best kind of gun is to take down an elephant (Scott says it's a Weatherby Magnum, which he calls an "anti-aircraft gun") and making up statistics on how Washington, D.C., has the highest crime rate in the country (it doesn't), he also spoke with passion about how President Obama was "not born here."
Here's an excerpt:
"(Obama) was not born here. That's my belief. I was born here. If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go--within 10 minutes--to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, "See? Look! Here it is. Here it is." The man has dodged everything. He dodges questions, he doesn't answer anything. And why? Because he's hiding something ... There's no documentation of him. No legal documentation of him."
As anyone who's ever bothered to do a Google search knows, there is a huge amount of legal documentation on the president being born in Hawaii.
But facts and logic are typically moot when discussing this issue with the birther crowd.
So we put it to you, Mariners fans: As the team looks to make roster moves ahead of the 2011 season, do Luke Scott's comments make him any less of a fit in Seattle should the urge to pick him up strike again? And when the M's play the Orioles at Safeco from May 30-June 1, are you any more likely to boo or cheer for the man?

Great Suit
Did not realize at first that this was a poly-blend suit, but happy it is as suspect will hold up well in chlorine environment. Plenty of coverage and is very typical brief-style without the euro-style cut which if you are 73" and 220# like me, you find this conventional style very satisfactory for lap swimming.
Perfect fit
Too bad they are discontinued. I wish I had purchased several more. They are holding up extremely well.
Toledo, OH
great fitting suit
This is a great-fitting suit. It's too bad it's on final clearance. I wish I'd bought more considering the price.
Nice quality, feels comfortable
Quality of the material is very good. The design provides good support for lap swimming. It does not dry fast, but that is a minor point. I like this suit. I ordered a larger size because they run small, but it fits great.

Fit: Feels too small
fit is not accurate

Retro swim brief
This suit is great value for the money and gets a lotta looks at the pool. The 2 splices on the rear looks like an "athletic supporter" leg straps and actually makes you feels like there is extra support in the brief. The look is very cool and frisky. Order a size up. Unfortunately suit is discontinued so order while they are available.
Speedo style only guy
Richmond VA
Best quality.
I had this suit in another color and love it. The quality of this brand is very good. I did buy it one size larger, and it fits great.
Watch the Size
I like the cut and design but the size runs small. Nice product otherwise.

Students presented poems, sand songs, and danced to much applause from the large crowd.
The program is geared towards Valdosta's youth, everyone from toddlers to teenagers, and parents were on hand to enjoy the festivities.
"It made it a lot easier for black people to come up in this world at a time when black people really couldn't do anything. They had black only water fountains. He made black and white people go to the same schools and have the same opportunities," said 15-year-old Ryan Binson.
More than seven different churches and both Lowndes and Valdosta High took part in this event.

About the award:
The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, conducted by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), represent the United States' largest youth recognition program based exclusively on volunteer community service.

I love bulldogs.
I love mechs.

It is just all kinds of awesome!
I love mechs.
I love this.
It is just all kinds of awesome!
That is a face of shear determination that just says "If you get any closer I will so thoroughly fuck you up not even DNA testing will be able to identify you. Come closer I dare you." Great art.
Looks much better than the new dog of "Call of Duty: Ghosts", haha
I love this series you have going
fightpunch has quickly became my favorite artist on this site, just incredible work.
Dude, I looooove this one. This one and the lemur are legit.
Sooo cool :3
Ahhh man so awesome!
Did u do a line drawing for this? Or do u just mass in things?
Did u do a line drawing for this? Or do u just mass in things?
Now you're just being silly
I'm a little curious about why people put the triangle supports on objects? Could you give me a reply on that.
It sort of makes sense as a triangular structure can't be squashed in the same way a square one can. Otherwise I guess it just looks cool
Yeah, It must be that last one. Then again it could be for supporting the structure or making it lighter.
Loving the animal armor series you have kinda going on
I understand the blurring the behind stuff but some of it I fell is over done, or doesn't make sense. At least in the dogs, right side thing, the upper one.
I love all the combination organic/machine combos you make, they're just amazing to look at.
Cuz the only way to make them look tougher was to make them mecha
I love this series.
That is great. I love this. Marry me.
Quite an interesting series you've got going here, keep em coming!
I want a cat, it would be soo cool
dude you are obsessed
I'm loving these mech-animals So great! Keep up the awesomeness fightpunch!

Best way get sround ny. Cheap fast and better then any cab. Night tour a big bonus
This tour was amazing!
The tour guides are so knowledgeable about the history of NYC and make the experience so rewarding. These folks live and breath NYC every day. Thanks
Great, the only way to see the big apple.
Very good and informative, bit cold sat up top but enjoyable.
Got a bit fed up being hassled by various ticket sellers tho!
Very knowledgeable and interesting guides on each 'bus that we joined. Drivers and guides were helpful with further directions for places of interest we wanted to find. Unfortunately it was pouring with rain on the day so we dod not make full use of the whole tour, but would not hesitate to do this again on a future visit.
Really glad we bought the VIP package on this. We litterally were in NY for 48 hours and we did 3 tours on this and used it to get us to Empire State building. Excellent value for money and some very entertaining tour guides!
It was a really great experience and the first time for my grand-daughter, who lovedddddddddddd it :-)
Very much worth the money. A great way of seeing New York and seeing parts you may not have thought about going to. We went on our first bus on the first afternoon we arrived there and it helped us get our bearings a little as well. The only problem really is that it is so busy the tour can take a very long time as it is constantly having to stop for traffic lights or traffic jams.
GabriellevanderLee Netherlands
The best way to get to now the city. Real New Yorker talking about their own hometown while driving around. I liked it, a lot and it brings you to almost every place in the city. The busses arrive every 5/10 minutes so you don't have to wait long! I would recommend this to everybody !
We had two day hop on and off bus tour. Very good and highly recommend. Unfortunately on day one we had two other things planned, and were unable to take full value of this. The staff were all very knowledgeable and provide a wealth of information that was valuable. I would recommend if book two day tour that you use two days just for the tours.....The night tour was the highlight and views exceptional.No issues with booking and presenting voucher. Exceptional
Very convenient with good explanations by tour guides. Will do again and have highly
suggested it to friends. Our second day was not great as it was rainy and cold, but still informative.
Very useful way to see a city. We do this wherever we go.
Had a very entertaining guide on Brooklyn tour especially.
Definitely, worth it. This included 3 attractions, which were the bomb.
This tour was amazing!
Used the bus over 3 days and each time we learnt something new about the same buildings/areas.
We found the hop on hop off bus a great way to get to know the city and find out where the main things were--unfortunately we were in town during the U.N. summit and road closures for visiting dignitaries and protest marches meant the bus was not always able to go where it was meant to--watch out for the last week in September as this is, apparently, an annual event and the streets are pretty chaotic. The night bus tour was great--you have to see Times Square at night to get a real idea of what it looks like--it can be a bit chillly up there though- so take something warm to wear.
All our bookings worked very well and we had no problems anywhere.
Great tour! Loved the actual tour guides and not automated ones. My first tour was downtown tour on the 8th October. Nice Jamaican tour guide very funny and informative. My next one was on the 9th, the night time tour and the guide's name is Debra. I love her shes so smart and funny and such a joy
Great way of seeing New York - tour guide was very informative and funny!
Excellent way to get around this vast city - so easy to get to the places within the various loops - tour guides very informative - make sure you tip as they EXPECT one!!!
Was fantastic. The bus system made it possible to enjoy multiple areas of the city on the same day. I look forward to coming back to New York real soon.
A great way to see the sights of NYC and surrounding areas, and we did it all over 72 hours. Each guide has their own stories of New York city, some fascinating stories which really brought to light the history of NYC. I would highly recommend
Everything was perfect. All the tour guides were awesome.
The line for the downtown tour was a bit long but everything went great.
The hop on hop off bus is always the way to go!!! So much to see and hear from different people on each section. Very good.

If an image is so boring that you notice the noise, it's a boring picture. Robert M. Sammon, SrWell, my friends, that has happened to me on many occasions, most recently while I was photographing bald eagles from a boat in Alaska with my 100-400mm Image Stabilization lens. I just couldn't get close enough to the birds with that lens.
I wasn't bummed out, however, even though some of the folks on the trip were getting full-frame shots with their 800mm lenses. I knew there was a quick fix in Photoshop that could get me similar end results.
For those of you who have found yourself in the same boat, so to speak, here's the fix. You can use the same basic concepts in Photoshop Elements and other digital-imaging programs.
Here's my original shot. The magnificent eagle fills only a small portion of the frame. What's more, because I was shooting at ISO 800 due to the low light level very early one overcast morning, there's a bit of digital noise in the shadow areas of the image. Noise, by the way, shows up more in shadow areas than in highlight areas.
On a side note, I always try to shoot at the lowest possible ISO setting for the cleanest possible shot. In Alaska, I was handholding my camera in relatively low-light conditions. I needed the ISO 800 setting to get a shutter speed of 1?500 sec. to freeze the action of the bird in flight and to prevent camera shake at the 400mm setting on my 100-400mm lens.
1.My first step was to open the image in Adobe Camera Raw and to zoom in on the most important part of the image: the eagle. The latest versions of Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom and Apple Aperture do an amazing job of reducing digital noise like never before.
When it comes to digital noise, there are two kinds: Luminance noise, which is basically grayscale noise, and Color noise, which shows up as blotchy color pattern in your pictures.
In this screen grab, I reduced the noise a bit more than 50%. I've found that if I reduce the noise more, images tend to look a bit soft.

When I bought in at $11.75, I really thought I was in at a bargain price with the move from December steadily climbing to $13+ Can anyone tell me what entity(ies) lost faith in this company and why? I also thought there'd be a bounce today after earnings beat estimates by 30% and revenues also came in higher than expected. I just don't get it. There latest results are right around the corner. Can someone shed some light on the selloff from $13 down now to $9.75 ? Also, estimates still have a target price of $17 !
You got yur answer yesterdaytrial news must have leaked from this GEM of GEM's $7box
First the stock is in a range now, 10 to 12 for now but that may change. Until a catalys presents itself and changes the game, we will stay in ranges. For now try to buy at 10 and sell at 12. If you are looking for long position, reduce your average to close to 10. But this is a speculative play, there is no guarantee they will have a drug in the market. So don't make this a large position in your portfolio.As for selling, large mutual fund companies are not selling, they are buying. Hedge funds may keep large positions but they have to make money each quarter and each year to stay competitive. They can't park large sums in a speculative play. So they may trade the range around their core position. Then, there are the shorts who have increased their exposure lately. But they are not in charge anymore. At these levels it is dangerous to be short. I think longs are in charge. They will put up a fight to stop it from sliding under 10. Have you noticed how suddenly JPM endorses the stock when it deeps below 10. They ran the secondary and don't seem to have any postition. But they are "watching their client's back."Happy trading and keep it real.
Thank you. Good analysis. I made money on ALNY last Fall but then bought/sold at a loss 3 more times until the end of November. Figures it would double once I got out. Then I got in again after it had dropped and could have made money had I held for only a few days but it went down ever since. Knowing it has potential, this time I've stayed with them. But with Europe still messing with markets and China's economy slowing, I"ll likely get out the next time they're close to 11.75 to break even and then get back in after the above settles a bit.
I suggest you try to understand what this company is doing, and not really telling you. - They expect bad RSV results. - They quit the huntington program- They don't have much hope for partnerships soon- They may be moving to another location- They keep spending huge amounnts of money on litigation- The ceo is an idiot, who doesn't even try to get investors interested or supporting the company>> Also, estimates still have a target price of $17 ! Targets also had an estimate of 35 when the stock went from $25 to $6I could go on. But please review the financials and programs, you will learn much more.The market for biotechs is bad, add that to the list.
This is a thinly traded stock with only a $500 million market cap. How difficult is it to manipulate the price? The answer: it is easy for institutional / hedge fund investors. The overall US market is weak now. It could be the case that an entity that would like a large,or larger, position, is trying to move the price down by selling into the overall market weakness so they can buy more at a favorable price.The worst thing that can happen to this company is that they get bought out by Novartis or other big pharma at something like $500 million - just for the patents. The likely case will be a $100+ stock in a few years. Some of the drugs they are working on will hit. How often do you get a chance for a ten times multiple on the upside and get what you put in on the downside. This all of course ignores what inflation may come into the picture.Forbes printed:There's an old saying on Wall Street about insider buying: there are many possible reasons to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy. Back on February 21, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc's Director, Paul Schimmel, invested $999,997.25 into 93,023 shares of ALNY, for a cost per share of $10.75. Google Schimmel.A Nobel Prize winner told me face-to-face that RNAi is only new thing to come into medicine in decades or perhaps ever.
Thanks for the summary. I guessed with so few posts on the board and the odd volumes, it might be a hedge fund messing around. It was nice to see the price rebound a bit after the drop today.

Equ. 2, No. 1, 47-73 (2007). Summary: We prove the existence of a center manifold for some partial functional differential equations, whose linear part is not necessarily densely defined but satisfies the Hille-Yosida condition. The attractiveness of the center manifold is also shown when the unstable space is reduced to zero. We prove that the flow on the center manifold is completely determined by an ordinary differential equation in a finite-dimensional space. In some critical cases, when the exponential stability is not possible, we prove that the uniform asymptotic stability of the equilibrium is completely determined by the uniform asymptotic stability of the reduced system on the center manifold.

Today's menu of investments that yield 8% and higher is short and not especially appetizing. Greek government bonds, anyone? Stock investors, however, can unlock surprisingly powerful yields through a combination of careful selection and patience.
The wrong way to proceed is to simply grab the market's highest yielders. Six companies in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index now yield more than 6%. There's Pitney Bowes pb -1.576394502829426% Prosperity Bancshares Inc.

All face declining sales, high debt or other challenges. Donnelley got a black eye just last week when Google (GOOG) blamed it for the premature release of its quarterly results.
A better way to get yield, especially now, is to identify companies that pay modest dividends today but look likely to pay much larger ones in years to come.
Over the long haul, stocks with rising payouts have delivered better total returns than dividend payers as a whole. Stuart Goldenberg for Barron's
For example, 10 years ago Darden Restaurants DRI -1.5016424213984045% Darden Restaurants Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD62.97 -0.96 -1.5016424213984045% /Date(1462482121146-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1295418 AFTER HOURS USD62.97 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4805 P/E Ratio 23.852272727272727 Market Cap 7979936244.01977 Dividend Yield 3.176115610608226% Rev. per Employee 46810.7 More quote details and news » (DRI), owner of the Olive Garden and Red Lobster chains, paid shareholders a four-cent quarterly dividend. Based on the $19 share price at the time, that worked out to an unexciting yield of about 0.8%.
Darden, however, has steadily increased its dividends since then and pays 50 cents per quarter. Shares currently yield 3.7%, which is handsome enough compared with the S&P 500's yield of 2.1%. But the investor who bought 10 years ago is collecting a yield of over 10%, calculated against his original price. He has been well-rewarded for the wait, and not just in dividends. The rising payments have helped Darden's stock price nearly triple, trouncing the S&P.
That's part of a broader trend of rising dividends paying off for investors. According to a study by mutual-fund company T. Rowe Price, $100 invested in the Russell 1000 index at the end of 1978 would have grown to $4,055 by this past July. Invested in only the index's dividend-payers, it would have turned into $4,573. And invested in only the dividend-growers it would have become $5,244.
Now may be an especially good time to favor companies whose dividends are modest but have plenty of potential for growth. With the baby boomers entering retirement and looking to draw more income from their investments, and bond yields sitting near historic lows, investors have piled into dividend stocks. That has left shares of big payers looking pricey. Among S&P 500 dividend-payers, those that spend more than half their profits on dividends recently traded at a median of 16.3 times earnings, versus 13.9 times for those that pay less than half.
At the same time, all that demand for dividends has made companies more willing to part with payments. The number of S&P 500 members that pay dividends, 403, is the highest since 1999, according to Howard Silverblatt, Standard & Poor's analyst for its indexes. Index members have increased dividend spending by $38.4 billion so far this year, versus $34.5 billion during the same stretch last year. There's plenty of room for more growth: The companies are paying out only around one-third of earnings as dividends, versus a historical average of more than half.
The four companies on the table below have dividend yields that aren't the largest around. However, the amounts that Wall Street analysts predict each will pay by 2014 work out to plumper yields when calculated against today's price. And these companies have potential to keep increasing their payments for much longer, judging by the low portion of earnings each now pays.
Like many banks, Wisconsin-based Associated Banc-Corp slashed its dividend payment following the global financial crisis but has begun to rebuild it. Quarterly results, reported Thursday, show gains in lending, deposits and earnings per share.
