Background: Lymph node involvement is a major feature in tumor spread of endometrial cancer and predicts prognosis. Therefore, evaluation of lymph vessel invasion (LVI) in tumor tissue as a predictor for lymph node metastasis is of great importance. Immunostaining of D2-40 (podoplanin), a specific marker for lymphatic endothelial cells, might be able to increase the detection rate of LVI compared with conventional hematoxylin-eosin (H-E) staining. The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the eligibility of D2-40–based LVI evaluation for the prediction of lymph node metastases and patients' outcome.
Patients and Methods: Immunohistochemical staining with D2-40 monoclonal antibodies was performed on paraffin-embedded tissue sections of 182 patients with primary endometrioid adenocarcinoma treated in 1 gynecologic cancer center. Tumors were screened for the presence of LVI. Correlations with clinicopathological features and clinical outcome were assessed.
Results: Immunostaining of D2-40 significantly increased the frequency LVI detection compared with conventional H-E staining. Lymph vessel invasion was identified by D2-40 in 53 (29.1%) of 182 tumors compared with 34 (18.3%) of 182 carcinomas by routine H-E staining (P = 0.001). D2-40 LVI was detectable in 81.0% (17/21) of nodal-positive tumors and significantly predicted lymph node metastasis (P = 0.001). Furthermore, D2-40 LVI was an independent prognostic factor for patients overall survival considering tumor stage, lymph node involvement, and tumor differentiation (P < 0.01). D2-40–negative tumors confined to the inner half of the myometrium showed an excellent outcome (5-year overall survival, 97.8%).
Conclusions: D2-40–based LVI assessment improves the histopathological detection of lymphovascular invasion in endometrial cancer. Furthermore, LVI is of prognostic value and predicts lymph node metastasis. D2-40 LVI detection might help to select endometrial cancer patients who will benefit from a lymphadenectomy.

Anime / Manga
DescriptionManga (Japanese: 漫画; the two Chinese characters literally mean immoral or whimsical pictures) is a widely popular form of comic books in Japan. Manga originated in late 19th century, but came to prominence in the second half of 20th century. The term anime (Japanese short version of the word animation) is normally used to describe animated cartoon movies of Japanese origin.
When applied to video games, these two terms indicate a specifically Japanese visual style, characterized by sharp, bright coloring; exaggerated, often super-deformed facial and body proportions in drawing; cute stylistic elements, etc.
Originally only applied to 2D graphics, anime or manga characteristics can also be clearly visible in many 3D games made in Japan.

Tyler Prater, a standout lineman for the Middlesboro Yellow Jackets, will be continuing his football career at the University of Pikeville this fall.
"I've always dreamed of it, everybody dreams of it. Everybody wants to go on and continue playing at the collegiate level," Prater said. "I lost my papaw the week of the Somerset game, and this is something that meant a lot between me and him. So, yeah, knowing I'll be playing college football means a lot.
Prater, a graduating senior who is also a varsity starter on the MHS baseball and basketball teams, signed with the Bears back on Feb. 5. He plans to enroll in summer classes at UPike in July and major in Education. He's the son of Jimmie Carol and Mike Prater.
"I want to thank God and my family for all of their support and the community for their support. They might not know it, but we do hear them in the stands and it means a lot," Prater added.
He starred on both offense at center and at defensive end for Middlesboro. He made the All-SEKC team in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and was named the SEKC Defensive Lineman of the Year the last two seasons. In addition he was an honorable mention on the Kentucky All-State team as an offensive lineman following his junior season and a second team All-Stater at defensive end as a senior.
In addition to his athletic ability, Prater will be bringing strong leadership skills to the Bears. Middlesboro fielded a team made up mostly of sophomores in 2012 with Prater as one of the few upperclassmen on the team. He emerged as a captain as that team grew to give the three best teams in their region tough games late in the year despite a 4-7 record. They turned it around last year and put together a 9-3 mark that included the school's first district championship since 2006.
"I like being a leader. My dad always taught me not to follow, be your own person and if you see someone fall try to help them out," Prater added. "I felt like my teammates just fell in line with what I was trying to do and I believe that's what led us to that 9-3 record. I wish we could have went on."
"From the time Tyler was a freshman we knew he was going to be special," said Randy Frazier, who was Prater's head coach all four years he was at MHS. "We started him as a freshman. He played hurt his junior year and came back as a senior and played extremely well. Everybody had to know where he was and a lot of the time they had to double-team him.
"The things he did on and off the field were very special. If you could mold a player that you wanted to coach, then he's one of the first ones that come to mind. I'd like to have a whole team of Tyler Praters out there."
At 6-foot-2 and around 270-pounds, Prater has the size and athleticism to play offense or defense at the next level.
"I've talked to Al (Holland, UPike's offensive coordinator) and my cousin Trevor (Hoskins) who's a GA up there and they seem to want me on the offensive side. Brian Williams wants me on the defensive side, too, so it's kind of back and forth," Prater said. "I't'll probably be offense where I'll play at either center or guard."
Hoskins, who set all of UPike's passing records, and Williams, the Bears' defensive coordinator, were also stand out players at Middlesboro High School. Head coach Dudley Hilton had a long tenure at Bell County High School before going to UPike and has continued to pull a lot of players from this area to Pikeville.
Prater's baseball teammate Lucas Crawford will be paying that sport at UPike and Prater said knowing there will be family and friends at the school played a role in his choosing to go there from among several options. He also liked the surroundings.
"I really like the campus and the surroundings are down to earth. I like it in Middlesboro and small towns in general and Pikeville is a lot like that," he said.
UPike, which competes in the NAIA, opens their season at Bluefield, Va., on Aug. 28. They'll play at Union College in the regular season finale on Nov. 15.

Designing and creating high-quality, stylistically pleasing, stable, functional, predictably formatted documents using the automated functionality features provided by the MS Word software, is what I do best. I have recently completed several MS Word formatting and template design projects through oDesk comprising: legal, financial and business documents; operations and technical manuals; training and course materials; all which were well suited to the numbering algorithms and other features provided by MS Word. I also have many years of experience working for the federal Justice Department typing, coding, tagging, formatting, proofreading and publishing legislation (draft bills, statutes and regulations) and other documents. Due to the high-profile nature of this work, I was required to produce quality work without errors prepared within short timeframes. Publishing for public accessibility was on paper, CD-ROM and the departmental website. I am from Canada and my native language is Canadian English so correct English spelling and grammar usage is quite natural for me. My knowledge and experience includes: - analyzing requirements and creating document formats and structures accordingly; - creating templates, style sheets and Definition Type Documents (DTDs) to enforce format and indexing specifications; - creating documents using different text editing, publishing and xml editing software: Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, Interleaf, Folio Views, Arbortext, Adobe Acrobat; - transcribe files using Express Scribe and InqScribe transcription software.

In the twenty years since the signing of the Peace Accords, El Salvador has made impressive progress in expanding political and media freedoms, reforming the military and security forces, lowering rates of poverty and inequality, improving respect for human rights, and reforming electoral institutions. Today, however, El Salvador faces unprecedented security and economic challenges. An upsurge in transnational crime, including narcotics, weapons, and human trafficking, has intersected with longstanding problems of gang violence such that El Salvador suffers one of the highest homicide rates in the world. El Salvador's economy continues to struggle amidst the global recession and weak economic recovery in the United States, the country's largest export market.

Whisenhunt will explain who Harrison was, how she got into this kind of work, and give examples of her extraordinary work at this critical time in Russian history.

The Myth of Mental Illness: Foundations of a Theory of Personal Conduct is a controversial book by Thomas Szasz. It is highly influential in the anti-psychiatry movement. In it, Szasz argues that mental illness is a social construct created by doctors, and the term can only be used as a metaphor given that an illness must be an objectively demonstrable biological pathology, whereas psychiatric disorders meet none of these criteria. What psychiatrists label mental illness is in fact nothing more than a deviation from the consensus reality or common morality, Szasz says.
He states that mental illness, madness and even many crimes are created or defined by cultural controls, morals and "real world" views of big science, religion and government, similar to heretics, pagans, and sinners before the industrial revolution. In parts he agrees with Wilhelm Reich, Alexander Lowen, R.D. Laing, Arthur Janov and Peter Breggin. All are psychiatrists, except Janov, who is a psychologist. Their views, theories and psychotherapies are opposed to and rejected by most MD and counselors in the 20th century. Szasz asserts that a positive, present and honest relationship is the basis of his therapy.
The book extends the arguments of Szasz's paper "The Myth of Mental Illness", first published in 1960. In it, Szasz argues that beliefs cannot be caused by brain disease, although such artifacts as visual (or hearing) defects can.

An Ignoble Prize
- By Stephen M. WaltStephen M. Walt is the Robert and Renée Belfer professor of international relations at Harvard University.
Everybody with a website has gone bananas over Obama getting this year's Nobel Peace Prize, so why shouldn't I add my two cents? I'm here in Norway at the moment (from which the prize originates), so I want to make it abundantly clear that I had nothing to do with it.
As for my reaction, I'm with the many voices who think this is way, way premature, and also with those who think Obama's best move would have been to decline it gracefully, while saying he would be thrilled to be deserving at some later date. The Nobel Committee might have felt dissed, but I believe he would have won enormous plaudits elsewhere.
Why is the prize ill-chosen? Because we all know that "talk is cheap," and thus far that's mostly what Obama has offered us. We're getting out of Iraq (though maybe not completely), but George W. Bush had already signed the deal to do that before he left office. We aren't getting out of Afghanistan any time soon. He's given a great speech in Cairo, and then whiffed on the follow-through towards Israeli-Palestinian peace. He's given another nice speech about eliminating nuclear weapons, but anyone want to bet on whether he delivers on that particular pledge? America's image is improved (except in the Middle East), but I can't think of a single conflict that has gone away (or even significantly decreased) since he took office. So far, his main tangible foreign policy achievment was getting the Olympic Committee to unite in rejecting Chicago's bid and awarding the games to Rio.
More importantly, this award risks discrediting the prize even more than some earlier choices. We don't know what Obama will be forced (or will choose) to do in the rest of his presidency (which could last another 7+ years) and if he ends up escalating any existing conflicts or-heaven forbid-starting a new one, it will make a mockery of the whole idea of the prize. I wouldn't be surprised if this award doesn't generate more than a little resentment around the world, especially if U.S. foreign policy changes less than many people still hope it will.
Finally, the Peace Prize is awarded by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, and all the Norwegians I've talked to thus far think it was a bizarre decision. One Norwegian friend had a simple explanation: the chairman of the committee is Thorbjorn Jagland, a former president of the parliament who is apparently something of a running joke in Norwegian political circles and famous for boneheaded statements. My Norwegian friend called this decision "typical."
In any case, I'm putting in for next year's peace prize now. I haven't done anything to deserve it either, but what if I promise to write a great book or article in the next twelve months that will substantially contribute to world peace? In fact, I'll even promise to retool as an economist and put a mathematical model in the piece, so that I'm eligible for two prizes, not one. OK?

Health law: Embrace, avoid or in between for Dems
ATLANTA (AP) — Democratic candidates are trying to figure out whether to embrace or avoid President Barack Obama's health care overhaul — or land somewhere in between.
The president says his party shouldn't apologize or go on the defensive about the Affordable Care Act.
Candidates aren't so sure.
Two top recruits for Senate races — Michelle Nunn in Georgia and Alison Lundergan Grimes in Kentucky — won't say how they would have voted when the Senate passed the bill in 2010. Their refusals are overshadowing their endorsements of individual parts of the law that are more popular than the law itself.
In Montana, Sen. John Walsh, appointed to office in February and now running for a full term, reminds voters that he was nowhere near Congress in 2010.
In Alaska, an advertisement by an outside group defends part of the law without mentioning it by name. Also, several incumbents who voted for the overhaul four years ago highlight some of its benefits and promise to tweak other parts.
Obama knows the law and this year's elections will have much to say about his legacy, and he says, "There is a strong, good, right story to tell" about the law.
But so far in the 2014 midterm elections, that bold approach hasn't taken hold. Instead, it's a more nuanced one.
"I believe we need to move forward and build on what's working ... and fix the things that are not," said Nunn. That was one of her many attempts to clarify previous remarks that it was "impossible" for her to say how she would have voted on legislation she had no role in negotiating.
Nunn will face Rep. Jack Kingston or businessman David Perdue, who meet in a July 22 Republican runoff.
Grimes twice refused to answer the yes-or-no question last week, offering a similar argument as she began her general election campaign to unseat Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate.
"I, when we are in the United States Senate, will work to fix the Affordable Care Act," she said.
Walsh, at a recent forum, had this to say: "I was preparing soldiers and airmen to deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan. So I did not vote on the Affordable Care Act — just want to make that clear." Walsh spent 33 years in the Montana National Guard, and became the state's adjutant general in 2008, resigning from that post in 2012 to run for lieutenant governor.
Those answers reflect challenging political realities for Democrats in an election year that favors Republicans.
The GOP must gain six Senate seats to reclaim the majority. Democrats must defend seven seats — five incumbents, counting Montana — in states Obama lost in 2012 and where he remains broadly unpopular.
Nunn and Grimes must woo voters in states that give Obama approval ratings even lower than his national rating.
The GOP is heavily favored to maintain its House majority.
It's no surprise that Republicans are dusting off their playbook, even after many GOP lawmakers have acknowledged that the law is here to stay.

Mamata Banerjee had hinted at "tough decisions" following Centre's reforms
The Trinamool Congress leadership is keeping its cards close to its chest in the face of speculation over its future in the United Progressive Alliance government following the party's opposition to the series of reform measures announced recently by the Centre.
A senior party leader on Sunday dismissed, as "baseless," reports appearing in a section of the media on the possible outcomes of the crucial meeting of the Trinamool Congress Parliamentary Party here on September 18, where its next course of action is to be determined.
"Some news is being spread that the Trinamool will do this or that… Some [television] channel is saying that the Trinamool will withdraw support from the government… All such speculative stories are baseless," Kunal Ghosh, party MP and close associate of West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chairperson Mamata Banerjee, told a private television channel.
Ms. Banerjee has said that "hard decisions" will have to be taken unless the Centre rolled back before Tuesday its recent decisions to hike diesel prices, limit the supply of subsidised cooking gas cylinders and allow 51per cent foreign direct investment in the multi-brand retail sector. She has, at the same time, reasserted that her party does not want the UPA government to fall.
This stand of Ms. Banerjee, who led a protest march on Saturday seeking to distance her party from what she has described as the "anti-people" decisions of the Centre, has also fuelled speculation that the Trinamool might pull out from the government and support it from outside.
Trinamool leaders have been maintaining that they were not consulted or taken into confidence by the Centre over recent decisions.
Ms. Banerjee will announce her party's stand after Tuesday's meeting.
Not that this will be the first time that the Trinamool leadership, peeved at a Central government decision, is calling a meeting of its parliamentary party and threatening a tough decision — interpreted in political circles as pertaining to its future in the UPA government.
Previously too, Ms. Banerjee has threatened to pull out of the government in protest against repeated fuel price hikes.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
But this humanizing element is almost entirely absent from Anton Corbijn's bland Curtis memorial. Corbijn is an influential photographer, with iconic shots of Joy Division, U2, Johnny Cash, R.E.M., and many others in his well-traveled portfolio; more recently, he's directed idiosyncratic videos for Depeche Mode and Nirvana. His long infatuation with Joy Division first went public when his photos of the bandmade literally in Curtis's final weekswere shunned by the press as too strange, too arty; only after the singer's death did these enigmatic images become widely known, making Corbijn famous in the process. Inevitably, then, Corbijn became the de facto image consultant to the burgeoning postmortem JD industry: Witness his risible late-'80s video for "Atmosphere," in which dwarfish, robed, and hooded figures galumph through an arid sub-Bergmanesque landscape, intercut with stills of the young, then-clueless band. Corbijn's later videos are often much less cack-handed than this one, making him an obvious (perhaps too obvious) choice for his much-postponed feature-length debut.
Questions of objectivity aside, Control is very beautiful in its re-creation of late-'70s working-class Manchester; cinematographer Martin Ruhe captures in pristine black-and-white the oppressive, post-industrial weight of a dying city in poignant vignettes of the cheerless council houses, generic offices, and seedy clubs that Curtis and his bandmates haunted. Despite these beautifully staged tableauxwhich for viewers knowledgeable in the band's history merely serve as pleasant diversions between the over-obvious musical cues ("Love Will Tear Us Apart" wells up just after Curtis's first dalliance with "other woman" Annick Honoré) and the major biographical set pieces (the embryonic band's fabled first meeting, various seizures, the Derby Hall riot)almost nothing happens. And it doesn't happen at a glacial pace, and in a stultifyingly linear fashion.
As with any biopic of this sort, the audience knows the story (and the score) so well that the only way to make a dramatization of it meaningful or relevant is to consciously contribute to its mythology as Michael Winterbottom's wondrous 24 Hour Party People did to the Tony Wilson/Factory legend, or Warner Brothers' 1946 Night and Day picture did for Cole Porter, or Gus Van Sant's Last Days did for Saint Kurt. With Control, Corbijn swaps true pathos for mere visual minutiae and emotional shorthand. Despite excellent performances from Samantha Morton, Craig Parkinson, and the radiant Toby Kebbell, along with a noble effort from pretty newcomer Sam Riley as Curtis himself, Control is like a wake where the guests forgot to bring the booze and, for the most part, have nothing very nice or even particularly interesting to say about the deceased. Curtis was young, fucked-up, given to petty cruelties, andby his own estimationdoomed. After seeing this banal flick, who cares?

South America's World Boxing Council (WBC( Silver Super Middleweight Champion Noe "El Carbonero" Gonzalez (28-1, 20 KOs) weighed in at 180.78 lbs and his opponent, Adonis "Superman" Stevenson (17-1, 14 KOs) weighed in at 176.37 lbs at the WBC-mandated 30-day safety weigh-in for their April 20 fight.
The two will meet in the 12-round main event of a Groupe Yvon Michel/Sampson Boxing blockbuster night of boxing at the Bell Centre, Montreal, Quebec, that will also be televised live on ESPN Friday Night Fights.
The WBC No. 2-rated Gonzalez and IBF No. 2 ranked Stevenson will also be competing for Stevenson's IBF Inter-Continental, NABO and NABA titles.
The match-up has "potentially explosive" written all over it. Gonzalez has stopped his last 11 foes dating back to 2008 and Stevenson is coming off of a February 18 first-round knockout over Jesus Gonzales that is a strong candidate for knockout of the year.
"Noe knows how much this victory means to his career and he is ready for war," said Gonzalez promoter Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing.

At least 50 killed in Syria as regime pounds Homs
BEIRUT President Bashar Assad's forces pounded rebel-held areas in central Syria on Friday, killing at least 22 people, activists said. More than 60 nations meeting in Tunisia asked the United Nations to start planning for a civilian peacekeeping mission that would deploy after the Syrian regime halts its crackdown.
As government troops relentlessly shelled rebel-held neighborhoods in the besieged city of Homs, thousands of people in dozens of towns staged anti-regime protests under the slogan: "We will revolt for your sake, Baba Amr," referring to the Homs neighborhood that has become the center of the Syrian revolt. Activists said at least 50 people were killed nationwide.
In Tunisia, the U.S., European and Arab nations asked the U.N. to start drafting plans for a civilian peacekeeping mission that would deploy after the Damascus regime halts the brutal crackdown.
Still unwilling to commit to military intervention to end the bloodshed, the group offered nothing other than the threat of increasing isolation and sanctions to compel compliance from Assad, who has ignored similar demands.
In Washington, President Barack Obama said the U.S. and its allies would consider "every tool available" to stop the slaughter of innocent people in Syria. He did not give specifics about what that might entail.
"It is time for that regime to move on. And it is time to stop the killing of Syrian citizens by their own government," he said.
On Thursday, former U.N. secretary-general Kofi Annan was appointed the joint United Nations-Arab League envoy on the Syrian crisis.
Annan said in a statement Friday that he would try to "help bring an end to the violence and human rights abuses, and promote a peaceful solution" in Syria. He expressed hope that the Syrian government and opposition groups will cooperate with him in his efforts.
The Tunisia meeting is the latest international effort to end the crisis, which began when protesters inspired by uprisings sweeping across the Arab world took the streets in some of Syria's impoverished provinces nearly a year ago to call for political change.
Assad's security forces have responded with a fierce crackdown, and blame the violence on Islamic extremists and armed gangs. In recent months, the situation has grown increasingly militarized as opposition forces, boosted by army defectors, have increasingly taken up arms against the regime.
The U.N. estimated in January that 5,400 people were killed in the conflict in 2011. Hundreds more have died since. Syrian activists say the death toll is more than 7,300. Overall figures cannot be independently confirmed because Syria has prevented most media from operating inside the country.
On Thursday, U.N.-appointed investigators in Geneva said they had compiled a list of Syrian officials accused of crimes against humanity in the crackdown. The list reaches as high as Assad.
While the U.S., EU and Arab League have ratcheted up the pressure on Assad, Russia and China have opposed foreign intervention or sanctions against Syria.
Alexei Pushkov, a Russian lawmaker, said Friday that in his recent meeting with Assad the Syrian president sounded confident and showed no sign he would he step aside. Pushkov warned that arming the Syrian opposition would fuel civil war.

Ingram Micro First Technology Distributor to Join EPA's Climate Leaders Program
SANTA ANA, Calif., June 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) has become the first technology distributor to join the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Climate Leaders program, an elite industry-government partnership that recognizes and assists companies dedicated to environmental improvements through the measurable reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
"We are proud to join the Climate Leaders program and look forward to working with the EPA to continue putting in place environmentally responsible programs and procedures throughout our operations," said Keith Bradley, senior executive vice president and president, Ingram Micro North America. "Over the years, our sustainability efforts have had a positive impact on both the environment and our bottom line. For example, our packaging reduction program recently saved more than 700 tons of corrugated cartons in 2009 compared to 2008, and all of the cartons are 100 percent recyclable."
Through the Climate Leaders program, participating companies work closely with the EPA to develop comprehensive climate change strategies. Partner companies commit to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through aggressive goal-setting, ongoing measurement and regular progress reporting. The EPA provides benchmarking information, best-practice counsel and technical assistance.
"We commend Ingram Micro for their goals and look forward to working with them," said EPA's Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation, Gina McCarthy. "EPA's Climate Leaders program strives to be an instrumental part of responsible companies' sustainability efforts," McCarthy said.
Ria Carlson, senior vice president and head of Ingram Micro's Corporate Social Responsibility program, said that the EPA's Climate Leaders program is a natural complement to the company's global corporate responsibility work.
"This partnership supports our goal of continuous improvement, helping us quantify our carbon footprint, develop new ideas and set targets," she explained. "Working in tandem with the EPA, we look forward to developing programs that will be beneficial to our business partners, our communities and our company." Visit Climate Leaders website for more information.

Again in 2014, the Daytona Beach Dream Cruise will be free for participants and free for the public. There will be no registration fees and no admission fees at official event activities. This is made possible by National Parts Depot (NPD), returning Super Sponsor. For 2014, Triple Crown Auto Parts, who own and operate two NAPA Auto Parts stores in the Daytona Beach area, have stepped up to also be a Super Sponsor. Digitally enhanced "Official Keepsake Photo" images for 2014 will be made available free thanks to these two Super Sponsors.
The 7
Annual Daytona Beach Dream Cruise will be hosted at the same terrific venues that were utilized last year - see descriptions below of all that will be happening at Riverfront Park in downtown Daytona Beach Friday and Saturday as well as at other venues those days and at Blue Grotto at the Halifax Harbor Marina on Sunday.
For 2014, participants will be able to display their collector cars & trucks on the lawn at scenic Riverfront Park in downtown Daytona Beach on both Friday, Oct. 24
as part of "Riverfront Friday" by merchants and restaurants along Beach Street as well as on Saturday, Oct. 25th. Three blocks of this really nice park will be reserved for Daytona Beach Dream Cruise participants. There'll be extra fun Friday evening when a free film will be shown on a big inflated screen in Riverfront Park. You'll enjoy the great film "Bullitt" with Steve McQueen featuring one of the most noteworthy chase scenes ever. You'll view it sitting on the lawn alongside the river, so bring your lawn chairs or blankets.
Check in for the 2014 Daytona Beach Dream Cruise will take place both Friday & Saturday, Oct. 24th & 25th. If you're bringing the same vehicle to the event both days, you only need to check-in once. If you're bringing more than one collector car or truck to this year's event, you should check-in each vehicle. You can bring and check-in (for free) as many collector cars or trucks as you want and get a photo for each one (for free). Below on this page, you'll find information about all 2014 event activities Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
In addition to seeing lots of great vehicles displayed in Riverfront Park on Friday, Oct. 24th and Saturday, Oct. 25th, you'll also want to cruise over to the LaPlaya Resort & Suites at 2500 N. Atlantic Ave. (A1A) where again this year, you'll see lots of auto enthusiasts and terrific cars & trucks beachside these two days. Many members of the Orlando Rat Pack will again this year gather at the LaPlaya Resort presenting a major visual treat Friday and Saturday with their awesome pro-street and other high-performance vehicles.
There has been a question the past few years about permission to park at a well-known shopping center (who do not want to be named on this web site) across the street from the LaPlaya Resort. Representatives of the shopping center have been advised that some event attendees will be parking there and spending money with their businesses and restaurants, so they should welcome you. Be aware that they do not allow overnight parking and you should not try to sell parts alongside your vehicle. Please be aware that in the past, they did not allow for sale signs on the outside of the vehicle but they did allow them inside the windshield. Call Rick D'Louhy, Event Director, at 386-672-1861 for further explanation.
We know you'll appreciate popular activities returning this year such as the Saturday evening Sock Hop at Down the Hatch in Ponce Inlet and the mid-morning to mid-afternoon huge Sunday gathering with significant cash giveaways at Blue Grotto adjacent to the Halifax Harbor Marina in downtown Daytona Beach. Also, if you have a chance Friday or Saturday morning, check out the "Ultimate Man Caves" at Hyde Park Storage Suites just west of I-95 on US 92.
The photo above is oriented with north toward the top. This aerial photo shows the two main blocks of Riverfront Park along Beach St. that will be used for check-in, shooting Official Keepsake Photos with the Halifax River seen behind each vehicle, and display of collector cars & trucks on the lawn in the park. There is a note toward the top left of the photo pointing out where vehicles will enter Riverfront Park at the big turquoise decorative arch in the block that has Magnolia Ave. on the south and Int'l Speedway Blvd. on the north. To enter Riverfront Park, a vehicle will need to be heading north on Beach Street going toward Int'l Speedway Blvd. In addition to the two main blocks of Riverfront Park in the above photo, cars participating in the Daytona Beach Dream Cruise will also be displayed on the lawn in the block of Riverfront Park that extends north from Int'l Speedway Blvd. to the southern property boundary of the News-Journal Center.

Fri. Oct. 24 - 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sat. Oct. 25 -
9:30 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m
"Check-in for Collector Cars & Trucks and Shooting of Official Keepsake Photos" will take place at Riverfront Park on Beach Street in downtown Daytona Beach on Friday and Saturday. The background of each photo will be a really nice view of the Halifax River.
For 2014, as was done in 2011, 2012 & 2013, to make things more convenient for participants with collector cars, and to accommodate greater numbers of participating cars & trucks, vehicle check-in can be done either Friday or Saturday. If you don't check-in your collector vehicle on Friday between 9:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., you should plan to do so Saturday from
9:30 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m. Again this year, we're minimizing the time cars are in line, but we need to position each car properly so its Official Keepsake Photo will optimally show the Halifax River. Bring your collector car to check-in at Riverfront Park and get its free photo shot whichever day is most convenient for you, Friday or Saturday. Even though check-in will end both Friday and Saturday at 5:00 p.m., cars and trucks may be displayed on the lawn in the park later each evening. See aerial photo on this page showing the exact location of check-in within the three block area of Riverfront Park.
Here's what happens at check-in
- Check-in, like all elements of the Daytona Beach Dream Cruise is free. There's no registration fee. When each collector / special interest car or truck arrives at check-in, we'll hand the driver a photo info card and a pen. Each driver (or passenger if that person has better printing) will fill out this photo info card and give it to the photographer when the photo is shot, so we'll have owner and vehicle identifying details. All collector / special interest cars and trucks are entitled to get their Official Keepsake Photo shot at this location, whether or not registered online in advance, but we will only shoot these photos between 9:30 a.m. & 5:00 p.m. Fri., Oct. 24 or between
9:30 a.m.
& 5:00 p.m. Sat., Oct. 25. At check-in, we will also hand out printed schedule information showing what will be happening, when & where. Also at check-in, we'll give each owner a commemorative windshield sticker.
Check-in only one time per vehicle
- Bring your collector car or truck to the check-in / photo shooting area whenever it's most convenient for you but please bring it there only one time this weekend. If you have more than one collector car or truck, you may bring as many as you want through check-in and the photo shoot. You can have other people drive one or more of your special vehicles if you want at any of the photo shooting times these two days. All we ask is that for a given vehicle, have it come to check-in only one time during the weekend. You may come and go for the purpose of displaying your vehicle(s) in Riverfront Park as many times as you wish, before or after you've checked-in.
Availability of Official Keepsake Photos
2014's digitally enhanced Official Keepsake Photo will be made available totally free to the owner/participant of each collector car or special truck that came through the Riverfront Park check-in location Fri., Oct. 24 or
Sat., Oct. 25 and was photographed with the river behind the vehicle. Each of these images will be available approximately four weeks after the event (around Nov. 27th).
At that time, a nicely enhanced high-resolution image of each collector car or special truck that had its
Official Keepsake Photo snapped Fri. or Sat. will be
snail mailed to the respective owner/participant
for free as a glossy print. Around that same time, each of these Official Keepsake Photos will also be seen and available for unrestricted downloading from
hanks to the event's Super Sponsors for making it possible to furnish these great free Official Keepsake Photos to 2014 participants.

Fri. Oct. 24 - 9:30 a.m. through the evening's outdoor movie -
"Big Display of Cars & Trucks on the Lawn at Scenic Riverfront Park in downtown Daytona Beach, adjacent to the Halifax River" - this display to be a feature of this month's "Riverfront Fridays" courtesy of the downtown merchants and restaurants. Cinematique of Daytona is presenting this evening beginning at 7:15 p.m. the terrific Steve McQueen film "Bullitt" that you're invited to view for free as you sit on the lawn, alongside the river. Bring folding chairs / blankets. Participating collector cars and trucks when checked-in (for free) at Riverfront Park either Friday or Saturday will have picture shot with the Halifax River behind each vehicle and this will become their "Official Keepsake Photo" mailed to the owner (for free) approximately four weeks after the event.

There is a description of the following aerial photo beneath it.
The photo above is oriented with north toward the top. It shows downtown Daytona Beach venues that will be used during the 2014 Daytona Beach Dream Cruise. On the south is Blue Grotto, the site of Sunday's big gathering. Adjacent to Blue Grotto, also accessed from Basin St. are the Armed Forces Reserve Center where trailers can be parked and the Harbormaster's Office where a permit needs to be picked up to be able to park a trailer and support vehicle at the Armed Forces Reserve Center. Also seen are the three blocks of Riverfront Park where vehicles will be displayed. Riverfront Park is a half mile north of Blue Grotto. The southern block of Riverfront Park goes from Orange Ave. on the south to Magnolia Ave. on the north. The middle block where vehicles enter Riverfront Park stretches from Magnolia Ave. on the south to Int'l Speedway Blvd on the north. The northern block extends north from Int'l Speedway Blvd to the southern property boundary of the News-Journal Center. Also seen in the above photo is the Seabreeze Bridge,
one and a half miles north of Riverfront Park. It is
the northern-most of the four bridges that work well for cruising between downtown Daytona Beach and the additional cars that will be gathered Friday and Saturday in the vicinity of the LaPlaya Resort at 2500 N. Atlantic Av., beachside. The three other bridges most convenient for getting from downtown Daytona Beach to the area near the LaPlaya Resort are from north to south the Main St. Bridge, the Int'l Speedway Blvd (ISB) Bridge, and the Silver Beach Bridge which is accessed from Orange Ave. (Orange Ave. becomes Silver Beach Blvd as you head east toward A1A. Riverfront Park is adjacent to the ISB Bridge on the north and the Silver Beach Bridge on the south.

Sat. Oct. 25 - 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
"Big Display of Cars & Trucks on the Lawn at Scenic Riverfront Park in downtown Daytona Beach, adjacent to the Halifax River."
Check-in for Collector Cars & Trucks and Shooting of Official Keepsake Photos" will take place at Riverfront Park on Beach Street in downtown Daytona Beach today for vehicles not checked-in and photographed on Friday. The background of each photo will be a really nice view of the Halifax River.
Please note that on Saturday morning, Oct. 25, Beach St. adjacent to Riverfront Park, between Orange Ave. and Int'l Speedway Blvd., will be closed to vehicular traffic until 9:30 am due to a fund-raising Breast Cancer Walk. This means that no cars will be able to enter Riverfront Park Saturday morning until 9:30 am (the anticipated time when the City of Daytona Beach will open Beach St.). It is suggested that you plan on arriving later Saturday morning. Please don't all plan on arriving at 9:30 am.
While you're at Riverfront Park on Saturday afternoon, check-out the concurrent Daytona Beach Craft Beer & BBQ Festival where you can pay to sample numerous craft beers and tasty local BBQ with proceeds benefiting Sophie's Circle to pay for pet food for financially-challenged pet owners. While held concurrently and in the same place as the Daytona Beach Dream Cruise, this craft beer & BBQ festival is not an official activity of the Daytona Beach Dream Cruise. Remember that you should avoid driving while impaired if you sample the craft beers or consume any alcoholic beverages.
The photo above shows the three blocks of the City of Daytona Beach park known as Riverfront Park where cars & trucks will be displayed on the lawn, adjacent to the Halifax River on Friday & Saturday. Riverfront Park is on the east side of Beach St. in downtown Daytona Beach. The southern block of Riverfront Park extends from Orange Av. on the south to Magnolia Av. It's in this block where each vehicle will be checked-in and photographed (on Friday between 9:30 am & 5 pm or on Saturday between 9:30 am & 5 pm). The middle block extends from Magnolia Av. on the south to International Speedway Blvd. on the north. The northern block extends from International Speedway Blvd. on the south to the southern property boundary of the News-Journal Center. To check-in and be photographed, vehicles should enter the middle block at the big turquoise decorative arch. Vehicles will then be directed to the check-in and photo location in the southern block. To enter the middle block to be checked-in and photographed, you will need to drive northbound from Magnolia Ave. along Beach St. and enter by turning right at the arch where you'll see entry signage. Look also for volunteers in yellow vests to help you park and check-in for your free Official Keepsake Photo showing your vehicle with the Halifax River behind it.
Each vehicle will only need to check-in and be photographed once during the weekend. However, an owner may bring more than one collector car or truck to be checked-in and photographed on either Friday from 9:30 am to 5 pm or Saturday from
9:30 am
to 5 pm. Remember, there is no cost to participate in the Daytona Beach Dream Cruise thanks to super sponsors National Parts Depot and Triple Crown Auto Parts which owns and operates Daytona Beach area NAPA stores. Also, the 2014 Official Keepsake Photo is free thanks to
these Super Sponsors.

Sat. Oct. 25 - Any time prior to 3:00 p.m.
"Cruise Whenever and Wherever You Desire"
It's suggested that when you want to cruise, arrange to do so with other car enthusiasts since cruising with those you know and vehicle types you're fond of will be the most fun for you.
When you're cruising, p
lease drive responsively, and do not exceed posted speed limits. Keep safety in mind at all times.
The best way for everyone to enjoy the 2014 Daytona Beach Dream Cruise is for no one to get hurt and for no vehicles to get damaged, and the way to assure this is for everyone to be safety-minded. Have fun, but do it safely.
If car clubs are planning to cruise at specific times and/or to/from predetermined locations, they are asked to please advise
Event Director Rick D'Louhy at
so he'll know the grand scope of what's happening at this big event, so clubs with similar vehicles and interests can potentially coordinate their activities.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Sat. Oct. 25 - Beginning at 3:00 p.m.
"Cruise South to Ponce Inlet" for late afternoon & evening fun in Ponce Inlet
No one will get lost duing this cruise since Ponce Inlet is a direct shot south on A1A (which is N. Atlantic Ave in some areas and S. Atlantic Ave. in other places) 14 miles from the LaPlaya Resort to the right turn on Beach St. in Ponce Inlet. As you approach Dunlawton Ave., be aware that A1A turns to the west. Disregard that A1A sign and simply go straight, continuing south on S. Atlantic Ave. to Beach St. in Ponce Inlet. If you are travelling to Ponce Inlet from Riverfront Park in downtown Daytona Beach, head east on Orange Ave. at the south end of Riverfront Park and continue on Silver Beach Ave. to A1A where you'll head south approximately 13 miles, to Ponce Inlet. To get to Down the Hatch Seafood Company, you'll want to turn right on Beach St. in Ponce Inlet and then go straight at S. Peninsula Drive. You'll arrive at Down the Hatch Seafood Company at the end of the road.
It can't get any easier than this.

Down the Hatch Seafood Company
, 4894 Front St., Ponce Inlet, 32127 Phone 386-761-4831
If cruising here directly from the vicinity of the LaPlaya Resort on A1A in Daytona Beach, take Atlantic Ave. south 13.9 miles to Beach St. in Ponce Inlet. Beach St. is the first stop sign you'll come to and you'll turn right there and follow Beach St. two blocks to the Hatch, at the River. Since so many people had a great time at the "Sock Hop & Car Show at the Hatch" during the 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 Daytona Beach Dream Cruise, this gathering is back by popular demand.
