- Heaven, they say, protects children, sailors, and drunken men; and whatever answers to Heaven in the academical system protects freshmen.
- Tom Brown at Oxford (1861) part 1, ch. 12.
- Christ's whole life on earth was the assertion and example of true manliness — the setting forth in living act and word what man is meant to be, and how he should carry himself in this world of God — one long campaign in which the "temptation" stands out as the first great battle and victory.
- Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 55.
- From behind the shadow of the still small voice — more awful than tempest or earthquake — more sure and persistent than day and night — is always sounding full of hope and strength to the weariest of us all, "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
- Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 80.
Tom Brown's School Days (1857)[edit]
- He who has conquered his own coward spirit has conquered the whole outward world.
- Part 2, ch. 1.
- There isn't such a reasonable fellow in the world, to hear him talk. He never wants anything but what's right and fair; only when you come to settle what's right and fair, it's everything that he wants and nothing that you want. And that's his idea of a compromise. Give me the Brown compromise when I'm on his side.
- Part 2, ch. 2
- It's more than a game, it's an institution.
- Part 2, ch. 7.

Jobless rates do not show progress
The headline of your editorial in the Oct. 7 paper reads, "Politics aside, new jobs report shows progress." Then you proceeded to talk mostly politics and present facts that show just the opposite from progress.
The important facts you presented, but tried to dismiss as just "far from glowing," are "employers created 114,000 jobs last month"; and, "The level of job creation necessary to match population growth is 125,000." I would think that any rational human would understand that job creation not keeping up with population growth is NOT making progress but shows job availability dropping behind more and more every month.
In your editorial you highlighted the point that the unemployment rate fell below 8 percent for the first time in Obama's term. That's your measure of progress and something apparently to be celebrated. You failed to note that it only fell to that level because about 600,000 more people answered yes to the question, "Aren't you at least working a little bit?" In today's new normal, even part-time work is used to lower the unemployment rate. To me a rate that is more than twice that of a normal economy is not something to celebrate.
For this stage of a recovery, 7.8 percent is horrible. But even worse, the rate would be 10.7 percent if the same number of people were still in the labor force as when Obama took office. The rate is 7.8 percent because millions of people have just given up looking for work.
To put the issue in stark human terms, if the recovery from this recession was an average recovery, 4 million more people would be working today. If it was equivalent to the recovery under Reagan, 6 million more people would be working. These are real people languishing on unemployment pay and food stamps because of the misguided policies of Obama.
If there is any doubt that the economy is not "going in the right direction" as Obama and apparently you would have us believe, we just need to look at the most important economic measure, growth in the gross domestic product (GDP Growth). This measure was only 1.3 percent in the third quarter of 2012, which was just concluded. This compares to 2010-2.4 percent, 2011-2.0 percent and the first half of 2012-1.7 percent.
Again, any rational person can see that this rapidly declining growth rate is not progress but evidence of an economy probably headed for another recession. (As a bit of an aside, most economist say that GDP growth must be above 3 percent for a sustained period to bring down the unemployment rate. This is the source of the skepticism regarding the drop to 7.8 percent that you are so proud of.)
At the end of your editorial, you assumed you can speak for both sides of the political divide and made the statement that, "both sides acknowledged the bottom-line reality — the latest jobs report shows a step in the right direction."
Well, Mr. Editor, I'm on one side and I can tell you that I don't acknowledge it. Your statement is not only absurd but shows an alarming lack of understanding and political bias on this issue.

A man who said he wanted a cigarette was arrested after a woman said he broke into her home, the Howard County Times reported.
According to police, 44-year-old Andreas Paul Kovacs, of Clarksville, was arrested Monday after police responded to a burglary report at a home on the 5800 block of Trotter Road just after noon.
The victim told police that she was upstairs when she heard someone come inside. She called out to her fiancé, according to police, but he was not home. According to charging documents, the victim had just gotten out of the showe. She grabbed a towel and closed a door that separates the upstairs living area from the rest of the home, the Times reported.
The victim, who had met Kovacs a couple of times, said he was yelling for her fiancé because he wanted a cigarette, according to the charging documents. She responded that her fiancé wasn't home and tried to close the door, according to the documents, but Kovacs forced his way through.
The victim grabbed her young son and went downstairs to the other side of the house where she called police.
Responding officers found Kovacs at home, according to police. He was arrested and faces burglary and trespassing charges.

August 1, 2014
LONDON (AP) - Flags are going up, cleaning crews are scrubbing down and two diehard fans are already camping out in London four days ahead of the royal wedding.
Westminster Abbey is ground zero for Britain's royal wedding frenzy. Workers were putting up flags near the abbey Tuesday and cleanup crews were putting the finishing touches in place. Security forces are also inspecting the area.
Large temporary media structures have gone up around the abbey to offer standing room for the thousands of journalists expected in London to witness Friday's nuptials between Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Officials say there will also be a military rehearsal, with troops in full ceremonial uniform taking to the streets late into the night to practice their moves.

Colin Farrell and Noomi Rapace star as two damaged souls in "Dead Man Down," a moody twist of hyper-violent vengeance and heartache where death is hand-delivered, mercy is hard to come by and love is never easy.
The slow-simmering potboiler is the first American film for Danish director Niels Arden Oplev, who created such a cold, calculating thrill, with Rapace as his muse, in the 2009 Swedish version of Stieg Larsson's "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." An international sensation, it inspired the English-language take starring Rooney Mara a few years later, put Rapace on everyone's radar and opened Hollywood's door for Oplev.

Fear is probably the most powerful obstacle we face in getting organized. What can be done?
Believe it or not, you might be afraid of getting organized. I know, that's silly, right? When we think of being afraid, we are likely to conjure images of heights, death, pain, or public speaking.
But fear permeates our decision-making. We don't eat something because we are afraid it might lead to cancer. We don't express our genuine thoughts because we are afraid of being embarrassed. And we may avoid trying to get organized because we are afraid as well, of things like:
Failing – I am afraid that if I start trying to sort through the mess, I will end up with a bigger mess than I started with.
Not Being Able To Finish – I am afraid that if I start carrying boxes down from the attic, I am going to hurt my back, and then I'll be stuck.
Making a Mistake – I am afraid if I throw away these papers, I might accidentally get rid of something that I need.
Regretting Your Decisions – I am afraid that if I get rid of this antique meat grinder from Grandma, I am going to be sad about it.
Sabotaging Another Area of Your Life – I am afraid that if I spend this weekend clearing out the garage, I am going to fall behind in my work.
Fear is paralyzing, as the power it holds over us is the vague threat it poses. The best way to tackle your fears is to break them down into small pieces and make a plan to minimize the risk you are facing. If you have been wanting to get organized for a long time, but recognize yourself in one of the examples above, plan now to spend a few minutes tackling your fears. Here is how you do it:
- Find a comfortable place, maybe pour a glass of wine, put on some nice music… whatever makes you feel relaxed.
- Write down what you are afraid of.
- Identify what you can do to minimize each risk. For example, if you are afraid of making a bigger mess, you need to chop the project up into teeny bits which you can tackle in the time you have. ("Today I'll do the top drawer") Or if you are afraid of making a mistake, you need to find an expert who can guide you. ("I'm going to schedule a time with my accountant to review whatever I am uncertain about.")
- Get support. One of the best ways to make yourself start is to schedule time for someone to come and help you get started. This can be a professional like The Seana Method, or even just a friend or family member. You are much more likely to carry through with your plan if someone is showing up on your doorstep.
- Don't delay. Fear is most powerful because it keeps us from taking any action at all, which makes the problem bigger. This is the classic "snowball effect." Typically, taking even ONE STEP pulls the rug out from under our fears, and empowers us to do more.
As a professional organizer, I can guarantee that organizing your time, space and belongings is very freeing. It produces endorphins, the exact opposite of the tension that you may be living with now.
January is "GO" or "Get Organized" Month. The Seana Method will be posting a 15-20 minute activity each day that you can take to start getting organized. Please check back during December to see how you can get ready to make the most of the New Year. Happy Thanksgiving!
Next week: The Countdown to GO Month ("Get Organized" Month) Begins!
Submitted by Seana Turner, professional organizer & President of The Seana Method.

Most people speak only one language. Some speak two. Sierra Bennett is well on her way to speaking three different languages.
Bennett, a junior at , is majoring in French and Spanish and hopes to continue those majors at college. To help her learn more about Spanish language and culture, Bennett is hoping to study abroad in Spain during the upcoming Spring semester.
To help pay for the semester, Bennett has come up with a unique fundraiser. Bennett is selling a cookbook, "Where on Earth did you get that Recipe?" to help raise funds.
The book is a collection of more than 150 favorite recipes that Bennett gathered from friends and family members, she said. Bennett said she is selling the books for a $15 donation.
The book has a breakfast, bread, entrée, and soup section, along with others. One of Bennett's favorite recipes is for "Hawaiian Chicken," a simple recipe that includes, chicken, peppers and pineapples with a sweet and sour sauce.
Bennett said creating a cookbook for raise money was one of the suggestions the study abroad program gave for raising money and said she enjoys cooking so it was the perfect fit.
"I don't have the patience for baking," Bennett said.
Bennett said her goal is to sell 500 books. So far, she has sold 32 cookbooks and is looking for more places to sell them. Bennett said she hasn't had much luck with grocery stores in the area because she's technically not categorized as a non-profit group so they won't let her sell them outside their shops.
Bennett said she's always wanted to go to Spain and her Spanish teacher told her the dialect she is learning is closer to the dialect they speak in Spain. She said she's only taken a year of Spanish so far.
"It will be hard at first not knowing everything they're saying," Bennett said but added that she's looking forward to learning more about the language and culture in Spain.
Through the program, Bennett will be staying with a host family. She said it will be interesting and difficult to adopt her host families way of life. She said she has heard from other students who studied abroad about the long-lasting relationships they developed with their host families. Bennett said she hopes to do the same.
Bennett's mom, Sherri, said she's going to miss her daughter a lot but believes it will be a great experience for her. She said it's the best way to learn a language, to be submerged in it in another culture.
Sherri spent time in Europe backpacking with a friend after school and said it was an amazing experience and one reason why she thinks it will be good for her daughter.
"You learn a lot about yourself," Sherri Bennett said.
Sierra Bennett said she hopes to continue traveling when she goes to college in a few years and would like to study in France.

As the captain of an emergency response vessel working around the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico three years ago, lifelong North Fork fisherman Phil Karlin said he never would have thought that renaming the smoked fish dips he's always made to smoke fish pâté would make such a difference in how the product sells.
"Smoked fish always seemed like a nice fit to the Greenmarket business in the city," he said. "And once I started calling it pâté instead of dip, all of the sudden customers started asking for it a lot."
Karlin began the North Fork Smoked Fish Company about two years ago, working to smoke everything from locally caught bluefish and striped bass to fresh Atlantic salmon and swordfish using discard vines from local wineries. He works out of a space at Pe & Dd Seafood on Middle Road in Riverhead, but he said that business has grown so much in the past year especially in the New York City markets that he's outgrown the Riverhead facility.
And coming from a North Fork fishing family — his father still fishes out of the Mattituck Inlet — Karlin, a 50-year-old who lives with his family in Cutchogue, said he's looking for a bigger production facility closer to home.
"I'm looking for something 800 to 1,000 square feet, with a septic system, running water, electric," he said. "There are a few places out there but just a little out of my price range right now. I'm looking for something off-the-beaten-path, because I'm not looking to do my own retail."
Karlin said that Billy's By the Bay restaurant in Greenport serves his products, which include smoked whole fish fillets and scallops, as did the Love Lane Market in Mattituck before it closed after Hurricane Sandy.
Though he said he'd like to eventually have more retail reach on the East End, Karlin said that the New York City pâté right now is his bread and butter.
A reviewer from New York City's Tasting Table magazine called Karlin's handmade pâté, which is mixed with a touch of mayonnaise and fresh chives, "easily spreadable and compulsively snackable."
"We make it and sell it fresh with a 15-day shelf life," Karlin said. "It's some of the freshest fish pâté you can get — 99 percent of what you get from the bigger manufacturers use thickeners and preservatives and it's just not the same."

Tom Donahue, the 'Gang of 6' and Red America
by Matt Stoller, Wed Dec 13, 2006 at 09:22:00 AM EST
Well, it turns out that the Sunrise Senior Living scandal isn't the first time Mr. Donahue has been involved in corporate accountability problems, but I'll save that for a later post. I want to explain why I'm blogging about Tom Donahue and the US Chamber of Commerce, because it gets at the heart of the problem for the progressive movement. A substantial amount of political power in this country is controlled by a relatively small number of people. These people sit on corporate boards, they know each other, they pay each others' salaries, they go to conferences in Davos, and they fund campaigns for both parties. They are willing to invest in substantial sums - like hundreds of millions of dollars - and make alliances with right-wing Christian groups to eviscerate the power of the Federal government and progressive policies to be effective.
The 2001 tax cuts, for instance, aside from giving billions to the wealthy, destroyed the capacity of the government to do much affirmative good work. By crippling governance, these elites are pushing the public to accept private goods in lieu of what should be public services. Private schools, bottled water, health food, private and chartered travel, elite medical institutions - these are all part and parcel of building what John Edwards calls the 'Two Americas'. It really is quite stark. If you are in the business or political elite, compared to normal Americans, you live in different areas, have different crime rates, eat different food and drink different water, send your kids to different schools, travel more efficiently, are subject to a different set of laws, and have access to superior medicine. The public at large responds to this in different ways - liberals get despondent and cynical, and blue collar ethnic whites begin to rely on right-wing church networks for what had been public services.
The key to building and sustaining this reactionary America is allowing individuals like Thomas Donahue to act above the law for personal profit, while lobbying to weaken agencies that might hold them accountable. It fits perfectly into this destruction of the public sphere, and allows bad actors to profit from doing bad. We will not and cannot build a progressive America as long as we have an economy that incentivizes people like this to steal from investors and use that money to lobby against us.
I would encourage you to read this article by Jeffrey H. Birnbaum on the power of the Chamber of Commerce, and the revolution in business lobbying that Donahue helped to usher in. Long story short, the Chamber of Commerce used to be a trade association that advocated in a bipartisan manner for narrowly tailored policies to benefit its members. Since 1997 or so, it has become a fully functional part of the partisan Republican machine, with Donahue raising its budget to $150M a year from corporate chiefs satisfied with his ability to move policy through a Republican Congress.
Thomas Donahue plays extreme hardball; he has called investigations by New York state Attorney General Eliot L. Spitzer "the most egregious and unacceptable form of intimidation that we have seen in this country in modern time." He creates a climate of fear and intimidation in DC, and along with the 'Gang of Six' trade associations - the "Business Roundtable, the National Association of Manufacturers, the National Restaurant Association, NFIB and NAW" - pushes for extreme right-wing policies that don't make any sense unless you look through the lens of a greedy and unaccountable management class.
It's a formidable group and it's not going away.
The chamber eagerly deploys every weapon in the lobbying arsenal and can be counted on by the president to get things done. It has demonstrated its success repeatedly in the past four years on issues as disparate as loosening ergonomics standards and creating health-savings accounts.
Its lobbyists blanket Capitol Hill. Its Web sites and telemarketers stir up voters back home. It donates generously to political campaigns coffers, and it bankrolls multimillion-dollar ad campaigns for the politicians and policies it supports.
In the first half of last year (the latest figures available), the chamber ranked first among all organizations in lobbying expenditures, at $30 million. The chamber also contributed more than $4 million to the November Fund, a group that attacked Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry for choosing a former trial lawyer, John Edwards, as his running mate. Today, the chamber is solidly in the black, its $150 million annual budget triple what it was when Donohue took over. It also is staunchly Republican in most of its legislative positions and played a pivotal role in cutting the tax on dividends and approving free-trade pacts, among many other Bush priorities. Whenever the president or his people called, the chamber assembled coalitions of like-minded groups and contacted its 3 million member firms to step up political pressure and donate lobbying-related funds.
For the 2004 elections, the chamber dispersed 215 political operatives to 31 states, mailed 3.7 million letters to targeted voters, made 5.6 million phone calls and sent 30 million e-mails to persuade pro-business voters to go to the polls.
Donahue is really smart, and the Chamber isn't going away. If you read the full article, you'll see that he hired Al From, head of the DLC, to make sure that right-wing policies succeed in both parties.
The key though to understanding Donahue and the ascendance of the right-wing corrupted elites is that they don't really have a base. Local Chambers of Commerce are largely unaware of Donahue's work and record. They don't know that he was on the board of Qwest and Union Pacific when both companies faced serious legal problems due to either fraud or lack of investment in safety procedures, or that he was just caught selling shares of Sunrise Senior Living - another company on which he is a board member - in advance of the release of damaging accounting information . Local Chambers are mostly composed of businesspeople who get together in communities and are mostly ethical normal folk looking to network and support local commerce.
It is a cornerstone of Bush's ascendance, and more than that the right-wing movement that built him up, that corrupted groups like the Chamber and the 'Group of Six' can operate as arms of a partisan vicious political movement to destroy the government without the people they purport to represent knowing about it. It's a larger institutional problem of management capture, the same lack of accountability among elites that let Enron and Iraq happen.
I mean the head of the US Chamber of Commerce, a guy who's pushing to weaken every tool of the public to possibly hold corporations accountable for unethical behavior and a rabid Bush supporter, was just caught selling shares ahead of bad accounting news. That's not good for investors, for corporations, for employees, or even for profit. It's only good for Thomas Donahue. And that's what his America is all about.

Who this book is for
This book is designed for system administrators, experienced users, and business owners who want to install and use Alfresco in their teams or businesses. Because Alfresco is free, many teams can install and experiment with its ECM features without any upfront cost, often without management approval. The book assumes a degree of technical confidence but does not require specialist system administration or developer skills to get a basic system up and running.
Alfresco is particularly suitable for IT consultants who want or need to set up a flexible enterprise content management system for their clients, be that for demonstration, development, or as a mission-critical platform. This book gets you to that result quickly and effectively.
Though this book is not a developer guide, various examples in the book will help developers to extend Alfresco functionality and to integrate Alfresco with external systems.

MIDDLEBURY, Vt. --- The Colby College men's hockey team is on to the New England Small College Athletic Conference semifinals and Middlebury College will miss out on going to the league title game for the first time since the playoff system started in 2000 after the Mules pulled out a 2-1 win in a quarterfinal game at Kenyon Arena on Saturday.
Senior goaltender Cody McKinney earned his 40th career victory in a Colby uniform as the sixth-seeded Mules improved to 12-10-2 after starting the season at 2-8-1. Third-seeded Middlebury (11-8-6) had played in 11 straight NESCAC title games and had won eight championships, including last year's title.
Colby will play arch-rival Bowdoin College, the fifth seed, in a NESCAC semifinal game next Saturday at 4 p.m. at Williams College. Wesleyan University and Williams meet in the other semifinal at 1 p.m. The championship game is next Sunday at 2 p.m.
McKinney made 37 saves, showing great consistency with 12 saves in the first period, 11 more in the second, and then 14 in the final period. He improved to 40-35-9 in his career and 11-7-2 this season. McKinney started his career at Colby by taking the Mules to the NESCAC semifinals in his first year.
Colby jumped out to a 1-0 lead just 3:52 into the first period with the fourth of the season by Dan Nelson. Billy Crinnion's shot from the right wing was stopped with a pad save from John Yanchek, before Nelson pounced on the rebound with an open net. Louis Belisle had a pair of nice looks for the Panthers at the 15:30 mark, but both were denied by McKinney.
The Mules doubled their lead 6:33 into the second period, when Chris Buonomo scored his seventh of the year from the high slot, redirecting a centering pass from Karl Burns. Nick BonDurant came on in relief of Yanchek (26:33, 2 GA, 10 saves) following the tally. McKinney stopped Brett Brazier in transition at the 11:00 mark, followed by a pair of saves by BonDurant on Jack Bartlett from point-blank range. McKinney came up big again with 7:00 minutes remaining, stopping Brazier with a big glove save. The second period ended with Middlebury leading 23-16 in shots, but trailing 2-0.
Middlebury came on strong in the third, with Chris Brown breaking in all alone before he was unable to get off a shot. The Panthers went on the power play at 5:10, with Chaz Svoboda scoring his third of the year at 6:24 to make it a 2-1 game. Mathieu Castonguay's shot from the point was saved by McKinney, with Svoboda scoring on his second attempt for the goal.
Middlebury pulled BonDurant (11 saves) for the game's final 1:38, earning five shots on goal, but could not sneak one past McKinney to tie the game. The Panthers finished the contest with a 38-23 shots advantage.

RALEIGH — Police conducted an information checkpoint near the apartment of a banker who was found dead in her bedroom last week.
Investigators maintained the checkpoint near the intersection of Six Forks Road and Ramblewood Drive between 11 p.m. Monday and 6 a.m. Tuesday. Officers at the checkpoint handed out a flier to motorists as part of their ongoing investigation into the death of Melissa Dawn Huggins-Jones, 30, who had moved from Tennessee to Raleigh to manage a new bank branch just two weeks before her death.
The flier said police want to speak with anyone who may have been traveling in or who lives in the area near Six Forks Road, the Interstate 440 Beltline, Ramblewood Drive, Bellevue Road, Allister Drive or Rolston Drive.
Investigators specifically want to talk with people who were in the neighborhood between Monday and Tuesday of last week between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.
Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue on Tuesday said that the police investigation into Huggins-Jones death is progressing.
We would like to hear from anyone. Even if its something that does not seem important to them, we are asking them to trust their instinct and call CrimeStoppers, he said.
Huggins-Jones was found by her 8-year-old daughter just after 7:30 a.m. May 14, covered in blood and not responding.
Although investigators have not disclosed how she died, police have declared her death a homicide. No arrests have been made nor suspects named in the case. Nor have investigators said whether her death is a random act.
On the morning that Huggins-Jones was found, there were reports of someone breaking into four motor vehicles in the neighborhood. All of the victims were women, police reported.
Police have maintained a constant presence around Huggins-Jones apartment at 441 Allister Drive since her death. Search warrants made public last week show detectives have accessed information on her Facebook account, which she deleted three days before she was found dead.
Police ask anyone with information to either call Raleigh CrimeStoppers at 919-834-HELP or to go to the CrimeStoppers website ( www.raleighcrimestoppers.org) for instructions on how to report a tip online or by text message. CrimeStoppers pays cash rewards for anonymous tips that help solve cases.

Neuroblastoma - Childhood - Stages
ON THIS PAGE: You will learn about how doctors describe a cancer's growth or spread. This is called the stage. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
Staging is a way of describing where the cancer is located, if or where it has spread, and whether it is affecting the functions of other organs in the body. Doctors use diagnostic tests to determine the cancer's stage, so staging may not be complete until all of the tests are finished. Knowing the stage helps the doctor to decide what kind of treatment is best and can help predict a patient's prognosis. There are different stage descriptions for different types of cancer. Once a diagnosis of neuroblastoma is confirmed, how much the tumor has grown and spread is evaluated or staged. The tumor's stage helps your child's doctor plan treatment.
There are two staging systems for neuroblastoma: INSS and INRGSS. Each is described below, followed by an explanation of risk groupings.
International Neuroblastoma Staging System Committee (INSS) system
The following is a brief summary of each INSS stage:
Stage 1: The tumor can be removed completely during surgery. Lymph nodes removed during surgery may or may not contain cancer, but other lymph nodes near the tumor do not.
Stage 2A: The tumor is located only in the area it started and cannot be completely removed during surgery. Nearby lymph nodes do not contain cancer.
Stage 2B: The tumor is located only in the area where it started and may or may not be completely removed during surgery. Nearby lymph nodes contain cancer.
Stage 3: The tumor cannot be removed with surgery. It has spread to regional lymph nodes (lymph nodes near the tumor) or other areas near the tumor, but not to other parts of the body.
Stage 4: The original tumor has spread to distant lymph nodes (lymph nodes in other parts of the body), bones, bone marrow, liver, skin, and/or other organs (except for those listed in stage 4S, below).
Stage 4S: The original tumor is located only where it started (as in stage 1, 2A, or 2B), and it has spread only to the skin, liver, and/or bone marrow (in infants younger than one). The spread to the bone marrow is minimal (usually less than 10% of cells examined show cancer).
The International Neuroblastoma Risk Group Staging System (INRGSS)
The INRGSS was recently designed specifically for the newly developed International Neuroblastoma Risk Group (INRG) pre-treatment classification system (see Risk groups, below). Unlike the INSS explained above, the INRGSS only uses the results of imaging tests taken before surgery and does not include surgical results or spread to lymph nodes to determine the stage.
Stage L1: The tumor is located only in the area where it started; no risk factors found on imaging scans, such as CT or MRI.
Stage L2: The tumor has not spread beyond the area where it started and the nearby tissue; risk factors are found on imaging scans, such as CT or MRI.
Stage M: The tumor has spread to other parts of the body (except stage MS, see below).
Stage MS: The tumor only has spread to the skin, liver, and/or bone marrow.
Risk groups
Some children can benefit from observation with no treatment while others are cured with surgery alone or surgery with chemotherapy (see Treatment [2]). However, some children have a very aggressive disease that is difficult to treat. By using a combination of factors, doctors can usually predict how well treatment will work for a neuroblastoma tumor, or if it will come back after treatment.
The INRG classification system uses factors that best predict how well treatment will work to determine risk groups; the lower the risk group, the more successful treatment is likely to be. Using the following factors, neuroblastoma is classified as very low-risk, low-risk, intermediate-risk, or high-risk:
- The stage of the disease according to the INRG staging system
- Age when diagnosed
- Histologic category (such as maturing ganglioneuroma versus ganglioneuroblastoma, intermixed versus ganglioneuroblastoma, nodular versus neuroblastoma)
- Grade (how similar the tumor cells are to normal cells)
- MYCN gene status
- Changes to chromosome 11q
- Tumor cell ploidy (DNA content of tumor cells)
The Children's Oncology Group (COG [3]) uses the following factors to determine risk:
- The stage of the disease according to the INSS system
- Age when diagnosed
- MYCN gene status
- Tumor ploidy; this is only important for children younger than 18 months
- Tumor histopathology (how the cancer cells look under a microscope)
Descriptions of low-risk, intermediate-risk, or high-risk neuroblastoma are listed below.
Low-risk neuroblastoma
- Stage 1 disease
- Stage 2A or 2B disease in which more than 50% of the tumor was surgically removed, except for a child with MYCN amplification
- Stage 4S disease, no MYCN amplification, favorable histopathology, and hyperdiploidy (having extra chromosomes)
Intermediate-risk neuroblastoma
- Stage 2A or 2B disease with no MYCN amplification in which less than 50% of the tumor was removed with surgery
- Stage 3 disease in children younger than 18 months, no MYCN amplification
- Stage 3 disease in children older than 18 months, no MYCN amplification, and favorable histopathology
- Stage 4 disease in children younger than 12 months, no MYCN amplification.
- Stage 4 disease in children age 12 months to 18 months, no MYCN amplification, hyperdiploidy, and favorable histology.
- Stage 4S disease, no MYCN amplification, unfavorable histopathology and/or diploidy
High-risk neuroblastoma
- Stage 2A or 2B disease and MYCN amplification
- Stage 3 disease and MYCN amplification
- Stage 3 disease in children age 18 months or older, no MYCN amplification, and unfavorable histopathology
- Stage 4 disease in children younger than 12 months and MYCN amplification
- Stage 4 disease in children between 12 months and 18 months old with MYCN amplification, and/or diploidy, and/or unfavorable histology
- Stage 4 disease in children 18 months or older
- Stage 4S disease and MYCN amplification
Treatment options by risk grouping
Treatment is then tailored according to the risk assigned to the disease. Some infants with low-risk disease often get the most benefit from observation with no treatment. However, most children with low-risk disease receive surgery alone. Patients with intermediate-risk disease receive surgery and chemotherapy. Within the intermediate-risk group, the length of treatment, such as the number of cycles of chemotherapy, also depends on whether there are genetic changes in chromosomes 1p and 11q. A very intensive approach, often using several types of treatments, is used for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma. More information can be found in the Treatment [2] section.
Information about the cancer's stage will help the doctor recommend a treatment plan. The next section helps explain the treatment options for this type of cancer. Use the menu on the side of your screen to select Treatment Options, or you can select another section, to continue reading this guide.

Obama Must Open Federal Land to Energy Development
If the president is serious about generating more revenue and creating jobs, he should open up federal lands for energy development.
Thomas J. Pyle is the president of the Institute for Energy Research.
With the economy shrinking last quarter by 0.1 percent and unemployment remaining at a pitiful 7.9 percent, President Obama and policymakers in Washington must begin looking at serious solutions to improve the economy. A recent study by Dr. Joseph Mason of Louisiana State University and the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton school provides a simple solution: allow more oil and natural gas production.
We have already witnessed the impact that energy has on economic growth in places like North Dakota, where the recent energy renaissance has lowered the unemployment rate of 3.2 percent, or in Texas, which enjoyed an $8.8 billion surplus this past year. If this administration allows production on federal lands and waters, such as has happened in North Dakota and Texas, we could see similar economic prosperity around the country.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]
One of President Obama's favorite solutions for improving our economy is to eliminate tax deductions oil and gas companies, which the administration claims could generate $4 billion in revenue. That sounds like a lot, but it is chump change compared to the increase in government revenue that would occur alongside increased oil production.
Dr. Mason estimates that opening federal land would generate nearly $3 trillion in additional federal, state, and local taxes over the next 37 years. Progrowth energy policies would also help speed up economic growth, which has been limping along at a very slow rate, highlighted by the recent decline in our GDP. Development on federal lands and waters could increase our GDP $127 billion annually for the next seven years, $450 billion annually in the next 30 years, for a total increase of $14.4 trillion over that 37 year span.
[See a collection of political cartoons on energy policy.]
While these numbers alone are staggering, they do not tell the whole story. The unemployment rate has remained high for four years and many Americans are anxious to get back to work. The number of jobs that would be created from opening up energy development on federal lands and waters is enormous. The estimates show that these policies would create 552,000 jobs annually over the next seven years and nearly 2 million jobs a year in the long run.
If the president is serious about generating more revenue and creating jobs then he should embrace the decision to open up federal lands for energy development. Energy is a key driver for economic growth as we have seen in places like North Dakota and Texas. With progrowth federal energy policies we can spread this wealth and economic development around the country.

Trying to Conceive: After Loss Community

See All
My Communities
My Discussions
My Email Digests
My update: Today is a sad one for me ladies, today my update is my 1st one where I am no longer TTC..
I know also that I am not pregnant..AF will be here sometime this week..
As I write this I am aching so badly (inside, where it hurts) because my relationship is truly over
We seperated in July but I assumed that we would eventually patch things up, after all we always had before and we had been together for so long (9 yrs) that I never thought the end would ever come for us..
...and then this weekend, on Saturday night he walked in the washroom as I was showering and told me he was stepping out for a walk..he said "I'll see you soon"..after my shower I waited for him, over 2 hrs and then I noticed I had a message on my machine and it was him calling from "that place" telling me he was going to watch a movie and be home later..
"That place" is right next door to our place..we have friends living there, a married couple who have two grown kids, a son and a daughter..
The daughter is 24 yrs old and recently (July) left her BF and moved back in with her parents (next door)..
He had been spending a whole lot of time there in the past week or two and it had caused some arguments between us and so when I found out he was there, again, on Saturday, after he had said he would see me soon, after I had been waiting for him for 2 hrs..I just knew there was something there to keep him from coming home..
Finally at 2:30 am he came home and we argued..I did not sleep at all that night, I just couldn't, I just kept crying and I looked it when I got up yesterday morning..
In the afternoon yesterday, we talked and I asked him if he was seeing anyone and he answered "not really" and so I knew that he was slowly moving on..
He admitted to me that Saturday night, while watching the movie, they held hand..
9 yrs ago, we sat on a couch and held hand too..that is how we started out together..just a few short weeks later we were a couple and doing...couple things..
Now I just don't know who I'm supposed to be anymore..after being his for all that time
I don't think I will be on a lot in the next few weeks ladies..my heart just aches so much..I don't know how to move forward with this but I know I must find a way..
He is not a bad guy, to the contrary he is an absolute dream as a SO..that is why this is so difficult..
I thought he was the one, mine for the rest of my life..
I thought we were going to grow old together and now I just don't feel like growing old anymore
Sorry this was so long..I hope everyone else had a better weekend..
I will lurk and I will see you guys again..think of me and send me everything you can..
Thx for always being there when I need it..
Vybe77- I am so so sorry that you are going through this. Please know that if you need to vent or "talk" we are here for you. I know its easier said then done but try to take your mind off it for a while by trying to focus on the other stuff that makes our lives so busy and maybe when you've taken a "breather" you can look back and see the situation in a different light. I know each situation is different but in a previous relationship before I met my DH I was with someone for 7 years and he also wanted to move on and when I took the time to look back at it I realized it was for the best and I probably stayed because it was "comfortable". On the lighter side a few months later he came back and wanted to try again but I was already over him. The grass always seems greener on the other side. We are always stronger then we think. I will keep you in my thoughts.
My update- CD11 and had another u/s this morning and my estrogen levels were very good (the best one yet for all my drug cycles) so that's good but they still want me to do another day of shots, 8 total plus hcg tomorrow. All the other cycles I had only 6days of shots plus 1 hcg shot so I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I guess I'll find out in 16 days. On a side note the acupuncture is working out great. I'm sleeping better, lost 3 lbs. and not so worried. Please wish me luck.
Try to have a great week ladies!
Vicky: I am so sorry for everything.All the pain that you have been through trying to concieve and now this.(((HUGS))).
We are here for you whenever you feel like venting.Hang in there Vicky,you are a strong woman and you have 4 wonderful kids that love you.Keep you in my prayers.
perry:Great news about the estrogen levels.I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.
My update:CD# 8,hopefully I'll ovulate sometime next week.
Vybe- I am so sorry.
My update CD 25 started bleeding yesterday (CD24), a little heavier today but doesn't feel normal. There isn't much cramping with it and it doens't have the stuff in it that my AF ussually has (Sorry TMI). I usually go 28 days and no shorter so I am confused that it started on day 24. It still isn't really heavy like usual so I guess we just wait. I am open to any advice that you ladies might have. Would it be AF early (even if I have never been early in 20 years or could somehting else be going on)?
Perry - That's great news about the estrogen and the acupuncture! Good luck this month!
Ani - O vibes!
B - Sorry af showed Good luck next cycle.
My sort of update - I'm feeling pretty discouraged this morning. If this were a normal month and if I didn't skip my period last month, af would be due today. Well I got up last night and had some moderate-heavy-ish bleeding. It was pretty heavy again this morning but now it's more like heavy spotting, nothing showing unless I wipe. I'm not sure if it is af or if it's from BD last night or something else. Either way I'm still going to the dr tomorrow, but I'm not expecting much in the way of good news anymore. Oh well.
Basteach- sorry AF showed
Britt- KUP maybe you'll still hear good news tomorrow. Don't give up hope yet!!! Miracles do happen.
Britt--I'm so sorry you are still waiting for an answer, although this recent bleeding may be the answer??--just not the one you wanted (sorry--hugs). But at least you can go to the doc tomorrow and find out why you would skip a whole period and see what is going on--then be able to move forward and start TTC again. KUP about wednesday
Vybe--I'm so sorry for your relationship. That is a lot to deal with. I hope things get better for you soon.
Perry--glad your cycle is going well this month! I've thought about trying acupuncture. Good luck! Hope this is your month.
Ani--sending you O vibes
B-Thats strange about the short cycle--but i guess its sooner to get back to TTC--I know I always feel better during the times I know we're trying or I could be pregnant.
My update: CD#6 for me. Went back to the RE today--they said this last bloodwork came back and they wanted me to come in for a consultation...I'm thinking I have an answer. No, it was normal. I had to come in for that?!! Ugh! He again pushed the letrozole. I guess we'll do it next month. We'll be out of town right around the time of O this month and doing the letrozole requires close u/s monitoring I guess, so we cant do it this month but we can try on our own. We'll see. He says that my best chances are with the letrozole because it will help the lining of the uterus and help form a "healthier" egg (or two?!). If that does not work in 3 cycle he said we would move on to injectibles--I'm not doing that I'll tell you right now. Its great for people who need it but I just dont see how I need it--I got pregnant on my own (well with help from DH )3 times in one year. I just feel like the RE is lumping me into the same category as infertility patients but I feel different from them. We'll see what happens I guess.
So I'm on CD2 and hopefully after this hellish AF everything will go back to normal. I still have quite a few opk left so I'm planning on using those again this month.
I'm surprisingly not too bummed. I would rather have a 'normal' pregnancy than one that started so dramatically, if that makes sense. I'm alright waiting out another cycle for now. It's so nice to be able to stop worrying!
Thanks! I'm kinda thinking about trying the acupuncture...
Britt--I'm glad you got a solid answer and can now move forward, and I'm glad you feel good about moving forward and are not too bummed.
Clomiphene therapy is generally well tolerated, and side effects do not commonly interfere with the continuation of treatment. Many patients experience vasomotor "hot flashes" (>10%), which result from the anti-estrogen effects; these subside at the completion of each 5 day dosage cycle. Mild pelvic discomfort without enlargement of the ovaries occurs in roughly 5.5%. Slightly over 2% of patients report breast tenderness (mastalgia). Less frequent (<1.5%) side effects include dizziness, fatigue, and headache. In women, menstrual irregularity, and an increase in pain associated with ovulation (mittelschmerz) may occur (<1.5%).
The normal thinning of the cervical mucus in preparation for ovulation and conception may be impaired by clomiphene therapy. Cervical mucus thickening may result in up to 25% of patients taking clomiphene and may potentially decrease the ability of sperm to reach the oocyte. Vaginal dryness may also occur. Although controversial, estrogens have been administered in some patients on cycle day 10 to the time of the LH surge (ovulation) in order to combat mucus drying and thickening. There is little documentation of the efficacy of estrogen in improving pregnancy rates.
Roughly 14% (1 out of every 7 women) on clomiphene therapy experience uncomplicated ovarian enlargement. Pelvic examinations should be performed in patients who complain of abdominal discomfort (pelvic pain) during therapy. If enlargement or cysts are present, the current clomiphene cycle should be discontinued and further therapy withheld until resolution of the signs and symptoms and until the ovary is no longer enlarged. If substantial ovarian enlargement occurs after ovulation, sexual intercourse should be prohibited because of the risk of hemoperitoneum secondary to ruptured ovarian cysts. Adjunctive agents (i.e., human chorionic gonadotropin, HCG) should be withheld if ovarian enlargement is present in order to prevent progression to ovarian hyperstimulation (OHSS). Most ovarian cysts or enlargements will regress within a few days to weeks after discontinuation of clomiphene. Laporoscopy is rarely needed. Once recovery occurs, the dosage or duration of the next cycle of clomiphene should be reduced. Ovarian enlargement or ovarian cyst formation may be more likely to occur in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, or in those patients on higher cyclic dosages, receiving treatment beyond 5 days in each cycle, or receiving more than six total cycles of therapy.
