Among the most prestigious organizations who honored Donaire was the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA). The BWAA named Donaire their "Fighter of the Year," besting other candidates including Juan Manuel Marquez and Brian Viloria. Donaire will receive the BWAA Fighter of the Year award on April 11 at the Radio City Music Hall in New York. "The Filipino Flash" is also excited for his first fight of 2013, which will be against fellow champion Guillermo Rigondeaux of Cuba. "He is a thinking fighter," Donaire said of Rigondeaux, a two-time Olympic gold medalist. "It's gonna be a chess match, but I'm gonna make it into a faster pace." After fighting four times in 2012, Donaire hopes to fight at least three times in 2013. "Kung makakaya ko yung three fights, gagawin ko yung three fights. Kung mamakaya ko ang four fights, gagawin ko din yung four fights," he said. "Titingnan ko lang kung nao 'yung ibibigay sa akin for this year, but one thing is for sure, sa April 13th ready na ako," Donaire promised. -- From a report by Bev Llorente, ABS-CBN News North America Share Facebook Share on Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest Read More: boxing nonito donaire Fighter of the Year /video/business/07/27/16/dole-target-bawasan-ng-kalahati-ang-may-endo/video/news/07/27/16/bistek-iginiit-ang-magandang-epekto-ng-curfew/video/news/07/27/16/hotline-8888-at-emergency-number-911-gagana-na-sa-lunes/video/news/07/27/16/estudyanteng-pinatay-sa-pangasinan-napagkamalan-lang/sports/07/27/16/gin-kings-notch-easy-win-over-road-warriors

DEFINITION of 'Frontspread'
A type of options spread in which a trader holds more short positions than long positions. This type of spread has unlimited risk of loss while also limiting profit potential. This type of trade is often implemented by professional traders who believe that the price of an underlying asset will make a calculated move higher or that volatility will decrease.
Also known as a "ratio vertical spread".

Directed by Mark Romanek, the spot initially aired during the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.
Executing a concept developed by creative agency David&Goliath, production company Anonymous Content and visual effects company Method approached Vicon House of Moves to help mobilize alien robots and humanoids into a choreographed routine to LMFAO's hit song "Party Rock Anthem." Working with Anonymous Content's designs, Method Studios created the all-CG world, as well as the hamsters and robots, to which Vicon HOM added movement through mocap at its Los Angeles studio.
Vicon HOM shot the mocap over the course of two days with seven performers on its 2,520 square-foot main stage, which features 80 Vicon T160 16-megapixel cameras. Each of the dance performers acted out the detailed choreography. Once capture was completed, Vicon HOM cleaned up the data with tracking and labeling. Then, they solved proportions to map the actors' movements onto the character-sized skeletons and finally retargeted the proportions to scale so the characters moved as the actors did. The entire process was completed in less than three weeks with Method ultimately receiving moving characters, which they were then able to integrate into their created environment.
"Mark Romanek and I had previously done stunt work for a television pilot at House of Moves and it was such a great experience, we didn't have to think twice about going to them with the Kia project," says Brad Parker, the spot's senior VFX supervisor. "Their facility is very well-put together and director-friendly. They have all the gear to put together whatever is needed and deliver clean data in a timely fashion."
"When combined with creative vision and top notch visual effects, mocap can help give realistic movement to anything imaginable," says Brian Rausch, vice president of production, Vicon House of Moves. "We maintain a world-class facility equipped with Vicon's latest mocap cameras to breathe life into our clients' wildest creations-even dancing robots that are inspired by a hamster's inner groove."

Melanocytic tumors
• Melanocytic tumors originate in melanocytic cells
– These cells are synthesizing melanic pigment
• There are 2 types of melanocytic tumors:
– benign: nevi – malignant: malignant melanomas
• • • They are cutaneous benign melanocyte tumors They have origin in the melanocytes from basal layer of epidermis Microscopically, nevi could be epidermal or jonctional compound dermal
Picture 5
Compound nevus
• Nests of nevus cells in epidermis and subjacent dermis • The nevus cells have uniform, round nuclei, without mitotic activity • By passing from epidermis toward dermis the nevus cells become smaller and elongated – phenomena called maturation
Cutaneous malignant melanoma
• • • It is a malignant tumor with origin in the epidermal melanocytes Microscopy: 2 types of growing – Horizontal or radial growth superficial malignant melanoma – Vertical growth nodular malignant melanoma Microscopically, there are two histological types: Round or poligonal cells Epitheloid malignant melanoma Fusiforme cells Sarcomatoid malignant melanoma
Malignant melanoma
The tumor has an infiltrative character in the subjacent dermis The tumor is composed from sheets of atypical, spindle melanocytes with elongated, hyperchromatic and pleomorphic nuclei with atypical mitoses. The stroma is reduced and contains melanophages (macrophages with melanic pigment) The tumor contains necrotic areas.
• Teratomas are complex tumors, consisting of multiple tissue types, with origin in germinal multipotent cells at the level of one or all 3 embryonal layers (ectodermal, mesodermal and endodermal layers) • Classification (depending on the tissue type):
– After location: mid line or paramedian line of the body:
(a) the median line: the sacro-coccigian, mediastinal, retroperitoneal, or cervical region; (b) paramedian zones: ovary, testis.
– After gross appearances:
• Cystic tumors • Solid tumors • Mixt tumors: solid tumor with mycrocystic structures
– After evolution of teratomas there are 2 main types of tumors: (a) benign
• usually, cystic lesion mature tissues; e.g. Ovary mature dermoyd cyst • rarely, solid tumor mature tissues; e.g. testicular mature solid teratoma
(b) malignant immature solid tumors;
Mature micro cystic/solid testicular teratoma
• The tumor has origin in multipotent germinal cells (origin in the 3 embryonic layers) Is composed from multiple normal tissues:
– Sheets of hyaline cartilage – Fibrous tissue – Microcystic spaces lined by respiratory epithelium
The tissues are disorderly disposed and normaly, they are not located in this place
Mature cystic ovarian teratoma
• The tumor has origin in the germinal multipotent cells (with origin in the 3 embryonic layers) Histological section through the cyst wall numerous mature tissues: Sheets of hyaline cartilage Fibrous tissue Muscular cells Neural tissue Respiratory epithelium Adipose tissue Microcystic spaces lined by a mucosecretory glandular epithelium The tissues are chaotically disposed and have no relation with the place where they develop.

Home > Press > University of Michigan's Zell Lurie Institute Awards Students More Than $50,000 in Dare to Dream Grants
The Samuel Zell & Robert H. Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business today announced the recipients of the Fall 2007 Eugene Applebaum Dare to Dream Grant Program, where students apply for funding to advance their innovative, high-potential business concepts toward launch. Grant recipients were awarded funding and resources totaling $51,000 based on business concepts and plans submitted to panels of judges made up of faculty and members of the entrepreneurial and venture capital communities from across the United States. In addition to the financial awards, grant recipients will receive counsel from leading business experts on business plan development and funding strategies.
The Dare to Dream program, a hallmark of the Zell Lurie Institute, has been aiding student-run high growth business concepts since 2002. The program distributes up to $100,000 per academic year to Ross School of Business students. The program benefits students, as well as the local and university community, by stimulating entrepreneurial efforts and starting new businesses. Grants are administered at three funding levels: opportunity grants at $500, assessment grants at $1,500, and up to $10,000 for integration grants.
Bob Mazur, president of B.A. Maze, Inc. and a University of Michigan MBA alumnus, was one of the first recipients of a Dare to Dream grant in 2002. Since that time, his company has brought four products to market, secured 18 pieces of intellectual property, and designed a roadmap for B.A. Maze to become a leading provider of healthcare brands for independent living.
"Participating in Dare to Dream pushed us to compress our ideas, research and business concepts into a clear, concise business plan," stated Mazur. "When announced as a recipient in 2002, our plan became a reality. The grant accelerated our idea-to-market timeline and the counsel we received helped us get our first unit sold in 2002."
Todd Sullivan, another University of Michigan MBA alumnus, credits his company's successful growth and development with early stage guidance and funding from Dare to Dream. Sullivan's business, Spirit Shop, received a grant in 2004. The funds were used to commission a corporate logo for Spirit Shop and to compensate the business plan development team.
"The feedback we received from faculty, venture capitalists and business experts through Dare to Dream helped us focus our customer service and business development efforts," stated Sullivan. "Being part of this grant competition accelerated my business and as a result I was able to get five customers to sign on to Spirit Shop before I graduated."
These are just two examples of the success Dare to Dream spawns among Ross student entrepreneurs. "While the financial awards provide a much needed funding catalyst to student entrepreneurs for further research and business development, the feedback, expert counsel and advice from our esteemed judging panels are invaluable resources for all program participants, and a shining example of the University and Zell Lurie Institute's commitment to commercializing student business ideas and opportunities," stated Zell Lurie Institute Executive Director Thomas Kinnear.
The following student teams received grants in October 2007:
Integration Grants ($5,000 - 10,000 each)
-- ArmyProperty.com -- Online inventory management system to organize and account for military equipment
-- ePack Corp -- Packaging for MEMS devices
-- MSignS -- English to sign language portable device
-- Slow Kitchen Post -- Ships artisan food to customers' doors
Assessment Grants ($1,500 each)
-- Audiallo -- Designs and develops hearing instruments around a new audio processing microprocessor
-- GIDEON -- CAD software for the design simulation and visualization of nanosystems made from structural DNA nanotechnology
-- Home Counting -- Offers quantitatively accurate male fertility testing at home
-- Indian Medical Group -- Overseas medical tourism -- Innovet -- Medical devices and service for veterinary orthopedic applications -- Neupharma Microdevices -- Manufactures and sells neural probes -- Productive Kitchens -- Innovative restaurant equipment to provide increased kitchen productivity in industrial kitchens
-- Sustainable Food Service -- Distributes environmentally-friendly food products and services
Opportunity Grants ($500 each)
-- General Aerodynamics -- Analyzes performance of helicopter rotors and propellers

This is why conservatives HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION during local elections. Local elections are the worst attended! Liberals slip these idiots in there ALL THE TIME! Most often these small elections don't emphasise party affiliation so you have to vet them carefully. We have fallen woefully short in doing this over the years.

It was 'dark' but for all of the logical reasons. Hillary is running for a full throated Obama third term. Next week's dems convention will be a defense of the 8 years of this administration and will basically break into two categories:
1. It's sunshine, lollipops and rainbows in this country and we must continue on
2. Those racists, xenophobes want to stop our progress and we must not let that happen
Trump just reminded the american people that they know full well that a lot isn't well with this country because of this administration policies, we live in dangerous times and to continue on with Hillary is madness. Let's make America great again

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES -- (Marketwired) -- 05/09/14 -- Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (OTCQB: MVTG) today announced that the Company will present at the Third Annual Marcum MicroCap Conference in New York City on May 29, 2014 at the Grand Hyatt New York.

As part of the conference, Mantra will participate in one-on-one meetings with investors and other companies.
"This is an excellent platform from which to get exposure," said Mantra CEO Larry Kristof. "With our cutting-edge technologies and world-class partners, we are a very compelling investment opportunity that has not yet been discovered."
Mantra will be presenting the investment opportunity behind its two technologies, ERC and MRFC. Not only are these part of the red-hot carbon utilization and fuel cell markets, but also represent a novel energy storage solution.
Presentation time and details:
-- Location: Grand Hyatt New York (109 E 42nd Street, New York, NY 10017) -- Date: May 29, 2014 -- Time: 11:00 - 11:30 AM ET -- Room: Edison
The conference will feature the following presentation tracks:
-- Healthcare and Life Sciences -- Energy and Natural Resources -- Retail and Consumer Products -- Industrials -- Technology, Media and Telecommunications -- Financial and Asset Management Services
To schedule a one-on-one meeting with management, please contact DC Consulting by phone, (407) 792-3333, or email [email protected].
About the Marcum MicroCap Conference
The Marcum MicroCap Conference is dedicated to introducing investors to the very best, undiscovered companies under $500 million in market capitalization. Launched in 2012, the annual Marcum MicroCap Conference features presentations by CEOs and CFOs from promising high-growth companies, the top picks by some of the most astute analysts following small caps, and thoughtful commentary on successful investment strategies and sectors. This invitation-only event attracts top fund managers and qualified high net worth investors who focus on small cap equities. One-on-one meetings are available for company management teams and qualified investors.
About Mantra Venture Group
Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (OTCQB: MVTG) is a clean technology incubator that takes innovative emerging technologies and moves them towards commercialization. The Company, through its subsidiary Mantra Energy Alternatives, is currently developing two groundbreaking electrochemical technologies designed to make reducing greenhouse gas emissions profitable, ERC (Electro-Reduction of Carbon Dioxide) and MRFC (Mixed-Reactant Fuel Cell).
ERC is a form of "carbon capture and utilization" (CCU) that converts the polluting greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into useful, valuable products including formic acid and formate salts. By utilizing clean electricity, the process offers the potential for an industrial plant to reduce emissions while generating a salable product and a profit.
The MRFC is an unconventional fuel cell that uses a mixture of fuel and oxidant, thereby greatly reducing the complexity and cost of the fuel cell system. Ideal for portable applications, the MRFC is cheaper, lighter, and more compact than conventional fuel cell technologies.

Mixed Connective-Tissue Disease Workup
- Author: Eric L Greidinger, MD; Chief Editor: Herbert S Diamond, MD more...
Laboratory Studies
Laboratory studies used in the workup for mixed connective-tissue disorder (MCTD) are as follows:
- Complete blood cell count (CBC)
- Urinalysis
- Routine blood chemistry
- Muscle enzymes if myositis is suspected clinically
- Antinuclear antibodies
- Anti–U1-ribonucleoprotein (RNP) antibodies
- Amylase and lipase - To assess for pancreatitis if clinically indicated
Antibody study results
High-titer speckled pattern fluorescent antinuclear antibody (FANA) is typical of MCTD. However, the presence of FANA is not specific to MCTD.
Anti-RNP antibodies are required for diagnosis of MCTD. Titers are typically high. The presence of anti–U1-70 kd is characteristic of MCTD.
MCTD can enter sustained remission later in the clinical course. Anti-RNP autoantibodies typically become undetectable in patients in remission.
Other immune studies
Further results are as follows:
- Antiphospholipid antibodies (including anticardiolipin antibodies and lupus anticoagulant) may be associated with pulmonary hypertension
- Rheumatoid factor is frequently detected
- Other lupus-specific antibodies (eg, anti–double-stranded DNA antibodies) are absent
- Scleroderma-specific antibodies, including anticentromere, anti–Scl-70 (topoisomerase), and anti–PM-1 (Pm-Scl), are absent
- C3 and C4 complement levels are more likely to be depleted in lupus than in MCTD
Imaging Studies
Imaging studies used in the workup of patients with MCTD include the following:
- Chest radiography - To assess for infiltrates, effusion, or cardiomegaly (see the image below)
- Echocardiography - In patients with effusion or chest pain, used to evaluate for pulmonary hypertension or valvular disease (exercise echocardiography may have increased sensitivity for identifying pulmonary hypertension)
- Ultrasonography/CT scanning - Used to evaluate abdominal pain (indicated for evidence of serositis, pancreatitis, or visceral perforation related to vasculitis)
- MRI - Used to assess neuropsychiatric signs or symptoms
Other Tests
See the list below:
- Pulmonary function testing - To screen for declining diffusing capacity of lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO), possibly indicating pulmonary hypertension
- ECG and/or cardiac enzymes - To assess for myocardial ischemia and myocarditis
- Cerebral spinal fluid (CFS) analysis - To monitor for infection, stroke, or neuropsychiatric manifestations
- Six-minute walk - To assess for cardiopulmonary insufficiency, possibly indicating pulmonary hypertension
Right-sided heart catheterization is the criterion standard for diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension.

Thank you sir
I was in Nashville in June and I tried s hard to find this area. I really wanted to get this shot but could never find the area where I could get the water in the picture also. This is a stunning shot. Well done. v/f
If you ever make it back, message me and I would be more than happy to show you around. This is taken from the Shelby Street Bridge which is a pedestrian bridge. You can access either at the bottom of Broadway if you are downtown or you can access it from the parking lot of LP Field's (where the Tennessee Titans play) parking lot.

Recent reviews
Good 3.4 /5 from 25 reviews
Had a great time visiting relatives about 15 minutes away. have stayed in the nicer motels and paid a lot for them. This was very affordable and comfortable with great people.
We had a great stay at the Lakeside Inn and since we were on the first floor we could sit out and look at the lake, just beautiful!!! Would stay again!!!
Cleanliness was a bit of an issue. But overall ok.
Service was friendly. It was out of town but only 5 minutes to downtown and 8 minutes to the show at Rama.
The room was old and a bit rundown but that's sort of what you expect from a place like this. It was spacious though. The view from the balcony was amazing and you can't beat the location. I would stay here again.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

"The great hulk of the scaled beast lay wheezing before me, and I am not ashamed to say that I was frightened: though it was injured, I knew the dragon could easily tear me in twain. The young monk, however, knelt beside the creature's head, whispering to it in a strange growling tongue. I questioned the woman, but she ignored me completely, engrossed in examining the scaly monster. After much badgering, she said merely, 'I do not mean to be rude, but you are quite a distraction. Please, leave me to my work.'" -Jeron's Great Journeys, Book III, Chapter 4
Other improvisational weapons/tools:
Icicles are useful as daggers,
Bag Of Holding filled with copper pieces used by chucking the contents at foes, (by strolen)
sleeves make useful garrotes. Ya can't cut anyone's neck, but you sure can choke 'em!
Flaming Logs make great clubs, (any Barbarians out there?)
and Bee hives are very effective when thrown at a mob of enemies. :-)

There certainly weren't any tropical breezes to lift skirts this year, but Marjorie Gubelmann had other things to celebrate at her annual Southampton luau — which has steadily become one of the summer's most eagerly awaited parties.
"OK," said Rachel Peters. "Are they or aren't they?"
This story first appeared in the June 19, 2002 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The answer is that Marjorie and her beau, Reza Raen, are engaged — almost.
"I did it in reverse order," Raen said with a laugh. "I got her father's permission, then I got her mother's and now I need to get hers."
The frigid and rainy night scarcely deterred the guests, who'd been instructed to dress in "luxe luau."
"It's 9 o'clock and I still haven't gotten lei'd," Daniel Benedict joked, heading for the trough full of orchid necklaces shipped from Hawaii.
A few hours later, it was impossible to remember just how cold it was outside, as Cabana, the restaurant at Southampton's Capri Hotel, had morphed into a sweaty, steam-filled disco.
"Leave it to Marjorie to turn this place into a gay club," said Rena Sindi.
On Monday, it was smoke, not steam, filling the air at Jazz Johnson's art-filled apartment, where Coralie Charriol unveiled her new line of candy-colored leather clutches at her first Stateside trunk show. Perhaps inspired by Johnson's collection of photos featuring smokers, guests flopped on the couches with their purchases and pulled out the Marlboro Lights.
"I took the family crest and kind of decomposed it," explained Charriol, running her hand over the "C" logos on a fuchsia bag. "I like to say they're for the stylish working girl."
As old friends like Marisa Berenson and Marisa Noel dropped by, Charriol presided over her table of goods, collecting checks and surveying the hazy room.
"Aside from my goodie bags and posters getting stuck in customs, I think it's been a real success.""
