5 Steps to Dealing with Loneliness & Emotional Pain.
The Energy of our Mind.
My wife asked me to write an article on what to do about loneliness.
Well, seeing as I feel lonely right now because she and my six month old baby are away from me, I don't know if that qualifies me as an expert or one in need of guidance. I joked with her, as she asked via email,
"What do you do about loneliness?"
…by replying,
"You come home. That's what you do. And bring our baby."
But, really, folks, what to do besides being together with people we love and recognizing that most of us are social beings who need community, family and contact?
I don't think you'll like my answer.
It is pretty much the same one as I often give, only now plug loneliness into the context. Counseling based on natural wisdom isn't always "fun" – it is however real. That's why many people want to go to shrinks who will indulge their fantastical dramas, take pills that will make them feel better instantly, or go to the movies and not feel what they are feeling.
But, try this process next time you are suffering from loneliness and realize that avoiding emotional pain in the myriad ways we do really doesn't work:
- Feel it.
- Know that it is natural and not inherently problematic.
- Don't believe the story your mind is telling you about why you are lonely
- Just continue to feel, but now don't only drop the story about why but also drop the story that you are even lonely.
- I repeat, don't label your sensations at all… just FEEL them. Don't try to change them, don't analyze them, don't resist them, DON'T THINK about them, and don't numb out to them… just penetrate them so completely that you dissolve the difference between "you" and "your" feelings – leaving only raw feeling.
If we honestly perform these steps with loneliness, or any other emotion that we want to plug into this equation, it will go away all in its own. Absolutely no emotion lasts longer than a momentary arising and fading away, unless WE attach meaning and self-identification to the story behind it. If we find that emotions are lasting longer than just moments, it is because we are not well practiced at the above process – that's fine, few of us are. But, it will work for all of us if we keep working it with the key ingredients of a sincere, heartfelt wish to grow beyond our perceived limitations and imagined possibilities, and a strong desire to be really be present.
With time, commitment and practice we all will understand every meditative analogy about thoughts and emotions dissolving like clouds in the sky. If you haven't heard the analogy it is like this: our true nature is like the clear, open sky. It allows everything and anything to come into its experience, but all clouds and storms are always hosted within the underlying reality of the clear, open, spacious sky. The sky behind the clouds is always radiant and beautiful as is our true nature which can accept the clouds of life's inevitible difficulties without ever losing connnection to its pristine clarity/awareness. Living in this state of sky-like conscious-awareness is characterized by simple joy and unconditioned contentment. Whether its a cloudy day or not, the sky always knows it is the sky, and this conviction of knowing who we truly are is the source of not suffering.

i saw this quote recently and it resonated:
"Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. An intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you'll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way."
– Janet Fitch
She gets the heart of it but I changed the last line to:
"The best you'll ever do is understand that you aren't what you think you are, know that what you want un…folds naturally from your existence, and realize that there is nothing in your way."
Thanks Omkar, I heard of someone once saying… "If you want to be enlightened, you've got to go through loneliness" (or was it boredom?) Ah, what's the difference? Thanks for your contribution!
Thank you for this…
I only truly felt lonely after my beloved husband died, I had never really felt it before I met him either..And once I was mostly past the intense process of grieving I again realized how ( amazingly)wonderful "loneliness" ended up being for me… as it used to be.. How it always offered me a real window for just being with myself… and how my best work as a painter and writer always comes when i am alone and how I never really am..I am always more in tune with everything when supposedly lonely!!
I am glad it the article inspired you, Terry. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes, Yogi

Wonderful, Dace. Thanks! I am grateful to hear of people's experience with digesting suffering by accepting pain. Many times people think the principle that "pain is inevitable in life, but suffering is optional" is just spiritual smugness. I am glad to see that you, too, have tasted the fruit of this truth and our human capacity to go all the way through it. By no means is it an easy road… it requires courage and commitment. Thanks for sharing yours. -Yogi

Re media consumption down the years, "piracy" or unorthodox ways of access have been how use-cases have been developed.
In the case of music - iTunes, We7, 7Digital etc would not have existed if Shawn Fanning hadn't pointed the way with the demand created by Napster in its original form - music being more convenient than lugging around a Discman and Caselogics.
Re film - getting it onto Home Video meant the following iterations.
VHS and Beta are bought by Early Adopters.
Films on tape are supplied initially by "Big Ron fromt he British Legion", the Kim Dotcom-alikes.
Although the studios kick off about this, it also proves there's a market out there. Matshushita and Sony start inking deals to get content onto home video. A market is born.
However, I remember that pewriod between about 1981 and 1983 when some titles were only on VHS and others were only on Beta - and some on both, depending on which studio they come from. Prices were pretty horrendous... the rental market is formed.
In about '84, one entity gets the rights to content and starts releasing films on videotape at the tenner mark - the home video sale market is born.
Any-any licensing is finally sorted - then Beta dies in a retail sense, in about 1986-87.
I reckon we're at about 1982-83 in the streaming market. Still too many exclusive deals and windows...
Again - the "pirates" pointed the way initially...
Most of us want content fairly priced, so we can play it on any of our devices - and we don't have to jump through hoops.
It's only been int he last 12 months that the retail experience offered by netflix et al has improved... but we need to get to a point where it really doesn't matter what device you have, or who you join - the material is available EASILY. The pirates have offered a better "retail experience" in the past... as they offered content the end customer couldn't get in the format they wanted it in.
In the same way - in 1982 you could only see ET at the cinema - people wanted to watch it at home. Big ROn created your market...
Most people tempted to stream from dodgy sites are only the same as those who may have bought VHS tapes at car-boot sales in the early days of home video.
Get a wholesale market organised for digital rights, get the product out there on the retail organisations' "shelves" - hell, maybe even organise a PRS-type clearinghouse for royalties to go back from each rental or slice off each subscription... get everything available to all streaming "retailers"...
You have just re-created the Home Video market for the streaming generation. Retailers can then build their customer bases, knowing they have access to all content. Studios can have their "exclusive" contracts... but with the wholesalers. Leave the retailers to buy their rights from that wholesale layer (buying from multiple wholesalers) and set them free.
Piracy drops back to the approx 5% level, and convenience leaps in the legit market.
Sound good?

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - Seven Hilltopper seniors will play their final weekend series at Nick Denes Field, as the WKU baseball team will host Sun Belt Conference foe Florida Atlantic for a three-game series beginning on Friday, and concluding with the annual Senior Day on Sunday at 12:00 PM (CT).
Hilltopper seniors Tim Bado, Blake Crabtree, Adam Lavelle, Steve Hodgins, Devin Kelly, Taylor Haydel and Ryan Huck will all be recognized during the Senior Day festivities on Sunday. The seven seniors have combined to appear in 688 games in the Red and White, while combining for 441 hits at the plate and 291 strikeouts on the mound.
Huck and Haydel will leave the Hill with their names etched in the record books, as Haydel is just one appearance away from moving into third place all-time at WKU, while Huck is just three home runs away from moving into the top 10 in school history in that category.
The weekend series with Florida Atlantic has plenty of conference implications, as both teams come into the weekend deadlocked in a tie for fourth place in the standings, and just two games out of third place. With a WKU series win, the Hilltoppers would reach 20 wins at home for the 14th time in school history, and the first time since 2009.
The Hilltoppers have won six-straight series at home, while winning five consecutive home series in Sun Belt Conference play dating back to last season. The home team has won five-straight series in the WKU-FAU matchup, including the Hilltoppers taking each of the last two three-game series in Bowling Green.

Ventura water rate increases go forward
Take aging infrastructure, a water supply that needs to become more diverse and a wastewater treatment facility begging for upgrades, and you'll begin to get an idea of what water and wastewater rates will be over the next decade in Ventura.
What customers will be charged to pay for those multimillion-dollar projects, as well as the costs of delivering drinking water, will increase four consecutive years under rates approved by the Ventura City Council on Monday night.
A citizens advisory committee that met several times in the fall and winter considered 10 years worth of water and wastewater projects totaling $531 million, but made rate recommendations for only four. Among the reasons for years of expected increases was a decision by the committee to pay higher project costs upfront, from 33 percent to 50 percent, rather than pile on debt.
Not all customers approved of the changes, with 363 submitting protest ballots, City Clerk Cindy Rodriguez said. A majority of Ventura Water households must oppose the rate increases in order to block their implementation.
Though the rates become official at the council's May 19 meeting, it's unlikely they will change then.
Effective July 1, the bill for an average user will climb to $147.79, up from $138.11, for a two-month period. Officials plan to move to a monthly cycle in a couple of years.
In July 2015, July 2016 and July 2017, the bill will grow to $161.13, then $175.63 and finally $189.85.
Diane de Mailly, a member of the rate advisory committee, asked if there was any way to put individual meters on apartments and condominiums, to bring accountability to all users.
"Apartments and condos are just running amok," she said. "We have to do something about water wasters."
Ventura Water General Manager Shana Epstein said individuals units can be submetered off a main meter for buildings constructed after 2004.
It falls to the homeowners' associations to monitor use, Epstein said.
Resident Jim Oliver said he supported replacing infrastructure but got "heartburn" when he looked at some of the other water-related costs.
Oliver questioned why, if the rates took into account increased energy costs, the long-term plan called for spending $5.5 million on energy-efficiency measures.
He noted the 2 percent charge added to water and wastewater capital improvement projects for public art, though the council opted to put a moratorium on the fee until at least December 2016.
"I don't appreciate paying for artwork in my bill," Oliver said.
Council member Erik Nasarenko asked how customers were responding to the request for a 10 percent voluntary reduction in water use.
The council voted in January to ask customers to make more of an effort to conserve water.
"We're on track," Epstein said. "We believe the community is responding."
Officials are closely monitoring the water situation in light of the drought. Epstein said if conditions persist, mandatory water restrictions could come into play as early as this fall.

Jacobs goes to Steelers for a MAC QB reunion
Omar Jacobs' next stop, Pittsburgh, has suddenly become the friendly confines of Mid-American Conference quarterbacks.
The Super Bowl champion Steelers selected Jacobs in the fifth round of the NFL draft yesterday, with the 164th overall pick. Jacobs, quarterback the past two seasons for Bowling Green State University, will join two other MAC quarterbacks on the roster: Miami's Ben Roethlisberger and Eastern Michigan's Charlie Batch.
Going to the Steelers surprised Jacobs, because he hadn't talked to Steelers coach Bill Cowher before his phone call congratulating Jacobs yesterday afternoon. But he feels lucky to join the defending Super Bowl champs.
"That's not too shabby," Jacobs joked.
Jacobs watched the draft with his mom and girlfriend from his home in Delray Beach, Fla. As the ninth quarterback selected in the draft, he had a long wait.
"I was surprised because I thought I would go higher, but that's part of the draft process," Jacobs said. "It's all based on team needs."
With Roethlisberger the face of the franchise, the most the Steelers are looking for is a competition for the backup spot.
That's not quite what Jacobs envisioned when he gave up his senior season at BGSU to enter the draft.
With his famed sophomore season of 41 touchdowns and four interceptions, Jacobs entered the 2005 season as one of the top pro prospects. But because of a shoulder injury and lesser numbers, he slipped down the draft board throughout the year. In December the NFL advisory board gave Jacobs a fourth-round prediction.
Jacobs' agent, Joby Branion, said the Steelers are a good fit for Jacobs because it will give him a chance to develop what some saw as raw fundamentals.
"He's a bright enough guy to know that this isn't about the draft, this is about an NFL career," Branion said.
Said Jacobs: "I think I have to be patient to some degree, and I want to be patient in Pittsburgh."
The Steelers like his size (6-foot-4, 232 pounds), and Pittsburgh quarterbacks coach Mark Whipple said he won't change Jacobs' unorthodox throwing motion.
"You just ask, 'Does he throw a tight spiral?' " Whipple said. "I think in Pittsburgh, New England and the Northeast, that says something. He did."
Jacobs sees his skills adapting well to the Steelers' offense.
"They stretch the ball down the field and do a lot of things with Ben Roethlisberger," Jacobs said. "I think they can do the same with me."
Although Whipple kidded he will tire of hearing MAC updates in the meeting room, he said he's excited to have another quarterback from the league on board.
"There's good players coming out of that conference in the quarterback position, with statistics and winning games," Whipple said. "Just look at the success that they've had."

Intraoperative Infusion of Precedex to Reduce Length of Stay After Lumbar Spine Fusion (DEXREDLOS)
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Major lumbar spine surgery causes inflammation, soreness and swelling that can delay discharge from the hospital. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. This study will evaluate whether DEX can help get patients out of the hospital faster after major spine surgery by reducing the inflammation associated with the procedure itself. A separate part of the study will evaluate the blood levels of some specific indicators of inflammation called cytokines. Measuring cytokines before and after surgery will aid in determining if DEX has altered the inflammatory response.

Experimental: Dexmedetomidine
At the beginning of spinal surgery, patients will receive 1 hour dexmedetomidine intravenous bolus of 0.7 mcg/kg, followed by infusion of dexmedetomidine at a rate of 0.5 mcg/kg/hour for 2 hours, followed by an infusion of dexmedetomidine at a rate of 0.2 mcg/kg/hour for the duration of the procedure and for 4 hours after the procedure.
Drug: Intravenous infusion of Dexmedetomidine or 0.9% Saline
Patients will be given 0.7 mcg/kg/hr of dexmedetomidine over the first hour of surgery, followed by continuous infusion of 0.5 mcg/kg/hr of dexmedetomidine for the next 2 hours of surgery. Dexmedetomidine dose will be reduced to 0.2 mcg/kg/hr for the duration of the procedure and continued at that rate for four hours postoperatively. Patients in the placebo arm will receive an equal per-kg IV volume of 0.9% Sodium Chloride over the same periods. Drug administration will be controlled for both arms of the study using a continuous infusion pump.

Placebo Comparator: Saline
Since this is a blinded study, at the beginning of spinal surgery, patients will receive a 1 hour 0.9% saline intravenous bolus at a rate and volume commensurate with a 0.7 mcg/kg/hour bolus of dexmedetomidine. Similarly, this will be followed with a saline infusion at a rate of 0.5 mcg/kg/hour for 2 hours, followed by an infusion of saline at a rate of 0.2 mcg/kg/hour for the duration of the procedure and for 4 hours after the procedure.
Drug: Intravenous infusion of Dexmedetomidine or 0.9% Saline
Patients will be given 0.7 mcg/kg/hr of dexmedetomidine over the first hour of surgery, followed by continuous infusion of 0.5 mcg/kg/hr of dexmedetomidine for the next 2 hours of surgery. Dexmedetomidine dose will be reduced to 0.2 mcg/kg/hr for the duration of the procedure and continued at that rate for four hours postoperatively. Patients in the placebo arm will receive an equal per-kg IV volume of 0.9% Sodium Chloride over the same periods. Drug administration will be controlled for both arms of the study using a continuous infusion pump.

Detailed Description:
Inflammation is a two-edged sword, one edge essential for healing, the other potentially delaying recovery. There is evidence that modest attenuation of the initial course of the inflammatory response (IR) - essentially "banking the fire" of the early IR - may be of benefit in shortening overall hospital course. Several medications have been evaluated/utilized intra- and perioperatively to modulate different components of IR, including local anesthetics, steroids and non-steroidal drugs. Additionally, the pro-and anti-inflammatory properties of various alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonists and antagonists have been characterized. Of this last category, dexmedetomidine (DEX), a highly specific ligand for all the subtypes of the alpha-2 receptor throughout the body, has substantial potency for sedation, analgesia and a reduction in the stress response in a wide variety of surgical environments as well as contributing to cardiovascular stability during CABG and open craniotomy. Additionally, DEX has been shown to have quite powerful anti-inflammatory activity in a murine endotoxin model. DEX's anti-inflammatory activity is likely expressed at G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) - either conformationally similar to, or the actual "native" alpha-2 receptor - on polymorphonuclear leukocytes, tissue macrophages, mast cells and other immune system cells. Through these receptors, DEX may attenuate the early phase of IR by limiting immune signaling or release of inflammatory cytokines, potentially favorably limiting the body's IR to injury.
In this present study, our primary assumption is that an ordinarily exuberant IR would be invoked by major spine fusion surgery. Continuous administration of intravenous DEX during and immediately after surgery might sufficiently modulate the IR to shorten hospital stay. Therefore, in a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double blinded fashion, we plan to evaluate the potential for a perioperative infusion of DEX to reduce "time-to-fitness-for-discharge" (generally easier to mark and a more accurate surrogate of time-to-discharge) in patients undergoing major 3+ level lumbar spinal fusion procedures. Additionally, cytokine markers, pain scores and additional pain medication requirements associated with surgery will be measured.

Many of those same residents returned to those same chambers Monday, but this time, for a different purpose: to support a cafe proposed in that same location, the vacant building where Conroy's flower shop used to sit.
That struck a chord with the Burbank Planning Board, which on Monday unanimously approved bringing "California Eatery," along with a two-story office building and another one-story medical office building, to the corner of Burbank Boulevard and Buena Vista Street.
That includes a parking variance that would allow the site to operate with 34 parking spots instead of the required 50.
"Since it's been closed, I've dreamt of a cafe in that location," said resident Michelle Webster. "I want it to open tomorrow."
More than 70 of her neighbors felt similarly, signing a petition, coordinated by the cafe's owner Bryan Sim, in favor of the project.
"A 24-hour drive-thru was the wrong fit for the neighborhood," said resident Vinny DiGiulio, referring to the Taco Bell project that residents successfully blocked. "The proposal before you tonight is a perfect fit."
Board members credited the residents for taking ownership of their neighborhood.
"I have to take my hat off to you guys — you stepped forward and said, 'Hey, we want something different,' and you made something happen," said board member Doug Drake. "Look what your reward is, something you've wanted."
Sim, a local resident and operator of Doughnut Hut in Burbank, will also operate the new eatery, which will be open from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The restaurant will open at 2411 W. Burbank Blvd. in May, Sim said.

| BACK HOME: Portlander Tirian Mink's rousing welcome at PDX.
IMAGE: Anna Dukehart
The same day hundreds of millions worldwide watched the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Summer Olympics from Beijing, a crowd of about 75 gathered at Portland International Airport to welcome home Tirian Mink.
They came last Friday to cheer Mink, who had been detained days earlier for several hours in Beijing after he and three others sneaked by security across from the national stadium in China's capital to hang a giant protest banner.
Hung from two flagpoles, the banner said "One World. One Dream. Free Tibet," and flew for 10 minutes on Aug. 5 before police arrived.
"What he did was a bold thing since people who protest in China can be arrested, detained and tortured," said Tenzing Kyungratsang, general secretary for the Regional Tibetan Youth Congress of Portland and Vancouver.
Kyungratsang joined Mink's supporters at PDX airport—his parents, grandmother, girlfriend and dozens of local Tibetans. Two monks encircled Mink, who's not Tibetan, as he was draped in dozens of white Tibetan khatak scarves.
Mink says Chinese authorities lectured him before his release at a makeshift police headquarters in a university classroom about how the Tibetan people were grateful that China runs their country.
"That's what they [the Chinese] believe," says Mink, a 32-year-old former remodeling project manager who's "between jobs."
Mink has always been interested in the Tibetan cause but decided to get involved in 2001 when the International Olympic Committee awarded China the 2008 Games.
Mink and Kyungratsang both say China won the Olympics partially based on the promise that it was working toward respect for human rights and freedom of speech. But both say that's a crock.
"There hasn't been any improvement," Kyungratsang says.
Now that he's home, Mink says he will watch the Olympics both because he likes athletics and feels the Games are a good opportunity for the world to get a better look at China. Meanwhile, he plans to relax with his parents in the Buckman neighborhood and continue his search for a job in the humanitarian field.
"I haven't slept in days," Mink says. "But I feel like I could run a marathon right now."
FACT: There are an estimated 350 Tibetans in Oregon and Southwest Washington, and about 9,000 in the United States.

Houston County Historical Commission welcomed representatives from Stephen F. Austin's Center for Regional Heritage Research Thursday, Nov. 20 at the McConnell Room, Crockett Bank during the HCHC's regular meeting.
Explaining about the newfound resource for members and guests was Dr. Perky Beisel, SFA professor, author, horse breeder and grant writer; Linda Reynolds, director of East Texas Research Center, Ralph W. Steen Library; Chay Runnels, MSAS Institute, and instructor of SFA's Department of Human Sciences and Chris Elzen, a graduate student who showed a video promoting the center.
Taking turns, the four informers from the center in Nacogdoches spoke to the audience about how it can assist county historical commissions by becoming a resource for researching a county's heritage and unique culture, and how Houston, Cherokee, and Shelby counties are on the "cutting edge" of discoveries.
HCHC members in attendance were Chairperson Maxine Moore and her husband Alton, Eliza Bishop, Fran and Cecil Miles, Mary Ann Weedman, Jim and Joleen Renfro, Marty Cash, treasurer, Mrs. Russell and her son, Alice Jones, secretary, Darden and Frances Welch and Roy Click Smith. Guests were invited too.
According to the brochure and introduction from Dr. Beisel, the goal of the Center for Regional Heritage Research is to "blaze a trail that bridges the divides between history, recreation, geography, archaeology, heritage tourism, and interpretation in order to arrive at a destination of improved quality of life and economic development in East Texas."
Recreation is an integral part of healthy living, and the incorporation of heritage elements into trail makes walking or riding the trail not only a physical experience, but also an educational, social and emotional experience. Historical trails play double duty in providing a path to our heritage, which reminds us that we are all connected.
The traditional focus in archaeology has been to dig, record, and interpret artifacts and features of past human activity.
Mapping and monitoring major changes in our cultural and natural heritage, is often done through combining historical photographs, direct field measurement, and recent technology such as global positioning systems, satellite imagery and computerized geographic information systems.
Ms. Runnels explained that much of our ancient and early settlement history has been understood through the analysis and interpretation of written documents and historic artifacts.
The more recent past is documented in images at sites and within the memories of our elders. It is imperative that these images, sites and memories of the more recent past be preserved in the same way as documents and artifacts from the distant past.
Heritage tourism can be defined as traveling to experience the places, artifacts and activities that authentically represent the stories and people of the past and present.
The center can generate a festival survey of who is coming to the various county events such as the Peanut Festival, Christmas in Crockett, or the Lovelady Lovefest, local or out-of-county, simply by asking for a zip code.
Furthermore, the center's free training, with GPS (Geographical Positioning System) is designed to be a resource for the region. Units will be offered to anyone interested by contacting Dr. Darrel McDonald: firstname.lastname@example.com.
The results of center projects will be available to the public on SFA Steen Library's TIDES (Teaching Images Digital Experiences): tides.sfasu.edu or by contacting Susan Clarke: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Distant metastasis are common in Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) nearly one forth of the patients have metastasis at presentation while another 50% develop metastasis during the follow-up. A small percentage of these are solitary metastasis. We describe survival after surgical excision or radiotherapy of solitary metastatic lesion from renal cell carcinoma
Patients and methods
Between 1988–2001, 43 patients with solitary metastasis to different sites from renal cell carcinoma underwent either surgical excision or radiotherapy were analyzed. The solitary nature of the lesions was confirmed by investigations. All patients have had radical nephrectomy for the primary lesion. Survival analysis was carried out by Kaplan Meier Method.
All solitary metastatic lesions were treated with intent of cure either by excision or radiotherapy. Of these, 13 patients had solitary metastasis at the time of presentation in whom 3-year overall median survival was 26 months. The survival of those who developed solitary metastases during follow-up after nephrectomy for primary was 45 months. The patients with long interval between diagnosis and development of metastasis, early stage and low grade of the primary tumor had better prognosis.
Complete resection of either synchronous or metachronous solitary metastases from renal cell carcinoma is justified and can contribute to a long-term survival in this select group of patients.
Nearly 20–25% of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have distant metastasis at presentation. Another 50% develop metastasis or local recurrence during follow-up after the treatment of the primary [1]. RCC can recur at any time after nephrectomy and usually metastasizes via venous and lymphatic routes. Frequent sites of metastasis include the lung parenchyma (50% to 60%), [2] bone (30% to 40%), [3] liver (30% to 40%), and brain (5%) [4]. Other rare sites of metastasis include pancreas [5,6], adrenal gland [7,8], parotid gland [9], maxilla, pharynx etc. Even with early-stage disease, late metastases can occur after complete resection. However, after the development of metastasis the prognosis is often poor, as non-operative modalities for advanced renal carcinoma have failed to improve survival significantly. The average survival of metastatic RCC is about 4 months and only 10% of these survive for one year. Chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and radiotherapy have generally proved ineffective for primary lesion or metastatic deposits, but an improved survival is seen with the use of immunotherapy with either interleukins or interferon [10,11]. There is a small subset of patients where solitary metastasis is present either at the time of presentation or develops during follow-up after nephrectomy these patients have a better survival. An autopsy series showed that 8 to 11% of the patients with metachronous metastases have a solitary lesion [12]. With the introduction of immunotherapy or immunochemotherapy for advanced renal cell carcinoma, survival has improved for a subset of patients. Surgical resection of the renal tumor and solitary metastases if present is still the treatment of choice for these lesions [13]. By modern perioperative management, even extended resections of metastatic lesions can be performed with limited morbidity and mortality [14]. The present study reports the result of retrospective analysis of the records of 43 patients treated for solitary synchronous or metachronous metastases from renal cell carcinoma.
Patients and methods
Between 1988 and 2001, 1863 patients of RCC were treated of these 43 cases had solitary metastasis to different sites. Thirteen patients had synchronous solitary metastsis, whereas 30 patients developed solitary metastasis during follow-up after the treatment of the primary in a metachronous fashion. The location and extent of the metastatic disease was evaluated by various diagnostic methods, which include chest radiograph, isotope bone scan, liver function tests, and serum alkaline phophatase. All patients underwent either ultrasound (USG) or computerized tomography (CT) of abdomen to rule out local recurrence. The patients with lymph node metastasis were excluded from the analysis. An attempt was made to obtain histological proof of the metastatic lesion either by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) or USG/CT guided biopsy. The analysis was performed separately for patients with synchronous and metachronous metastatic lesions. Survival analysis was calculated by using Kaplan-Meier test and survival was compared using Log-rank test.
Synchronous group
Thirteen patients with synchronous solitary metastatic disease included 10 males and 3 females. The age of the patients ranged from 38 to 69 years with mean of 57 years. The site of solitary metastases were bone in 6, lung in 3, liver in 2, and 1 each in brain and opposite adrenal gland (Table 1). All patients underwent radical nephrectomy for the primary in the same sitting except in one patient with brain metastasis, which was irradiated. One patient with bone metastasis had positive surgical margin and received radiotherapy. The median disease free survival was 25 months and the median overall survival was 26 months with 3-year survival being 27% and none of the patients surviving 5 years (Figure 1). Five patients who could afford received interferon alpha treatment for relapse to multiple sites. Due to small number of patients a subgroup analysis was not carried out for these patients.

Figure 1. Overall survival in patients with synchronous solitary metastasis.
Metachronous group
Thirty patients developed metachronous solitary lesion during follow-up after definitive treatment of the primary renal cell carcinoma of the kidney. The age of the patients ranged from 34 to 75 with the mean of 54 years. There were 21 males and 9 female patients. The metastatic interval varied between 3 to 33 months with mean of 16 months. The distribution of site of solitary metastasis was bone in 13, lung in 6, liver in 3, brain in 2, and one each in parotid, maxilla, pharyngeal wall, soft tissue shoulder, opposite adrenal and gall bladder (Figure 2). Eleven patients with bone metastases underwent excision of the lesion and other 2 patients received definitive radiotherapy. All patients with lung and liver metastases underwent surgical excision. One patient with brain metastasis received radiotherapy and other one had surgical excision of the lesion. The patient with parotid lesion underwent parotidectomy and the one with metastasis in soft tissue shoulder had forequarter amputation. Adrenalectomy and cholecystectomy was done for adrenal and gall bladder metastasis respectively. Primary tumor stage was pT1in 9, pT2 in 13, and pT3 in 8 patients. The distribution of histological types and the nuclear grading is shown in the table 2.
Figure 2. Ultrasonography showing solitary metachronous metastasis to gall bladder.
Table 2. Patient and tumor characteristics- metachronous solitary metastasis
Post metastatectomy overall median survival was 45 months. The 3-year survival rate was 60 % and 5-year survival was 38 % (Figure 3). The overall survival for those patients in whom solitary metastasis occurred within one year (n = 15) was 31 months compared to 63 months in those who developed metastasis after one year (n = 15) the difference was statistically significant (log rank test p = 0.03) (Figure 4). The three patients with liver metastasis and 2 with brain metastasis behaved poorly with survival of 6 to 20 months. Two patients with bone metastasis and one patient with brain metastasis received radiotherapy after excision due to positive surgical margins.
Figure 3. Overall survival of the patients with metachronous solitary metastasis.
Figure 4. Overall survival comparing patients with metachronous solitary metastasis occurring within 12 months versus those occurring after 12 months.
The overall post metastatectomy median survival was 63 months for pT1 tumor, 45 months for pT2 and 24 months for pT3 tumors and the difference in the survival was significant (log rank test p = 0.004) (Figure 5). There was also significant difference in the survival (log rank test p = 0.001) among patients with Fuhrman's grade I to grade IV disease (Figure 6). The patients with lung and bone metastasis had overall mean survival of 62 months and those with brain and liver metastasis was 22 months. Thirteen patients received immunotherapy after relapse at multiple sites following treatment of the solitary metastasis. However, the number of patients in each group was small, hence subgroup analysis could not be carried out for these patients.
RCC is known for its varied presentation and its propensity to metastasize by way of both venous and lymphatic routes. Ritchie and deKernion [15] found that 23% of patients with RCC present initially with metastatic disease and 25% develop metastatic disease within 5 years of nephrectomy. RCC can, however, metastasize to virtually any organ, including the thyroid, pancreas, skeletal muscle, and skin or underlying soft tissue.
Despite the early promising results with immunotherapy, a complete response occurs in less than 15% and is rarely durable, emphasizing that metastatic disease best treated with complete resection of the primary and metastatic lesions where possible. Solitary metastases are identified at the time of diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma in 2% to 4% of patients. Depending on the location of the solitary metastasis, radical nephrectomy [16] with excision of the solitary metastatic lesion has been advocated, with 20% to 30% 5-year survival rates being reported.
Barney in 1961 [17] did nephrectomy and lobectomy for lung metastasis and patient survived for 23 years. This influenced many workers to perform excision of solitary metastasis. Middleton [18] reviewed the literature and concluded that the survival after surgical excision of solitary metastatic lesions was 45% at 3-years and 34% at 5-years. Tolia and Whitmore [19], Morrow et al [20], and Jett et al [21] also reported similar 5-year survival after the treatment of solitary metastatic tumors. Skinner et al [22] reported a 29% 5-year survival in a series of 41 patients in whom one or two metastases were excised surgically in addition to nephrectomy. In our series, the 3 and 5-year post metastatectomy survival was 58% and 35% respectively in metachronous group of patients whereas 3-year survival was 20% in the synchronous group, the higher survival could be due to number of patients being loss to follow-up and hence censored from the survival analysis.
Middleton [18] found significant difference in survival between synchronous and metachronous solitary metastases, synchronous group being the worst. O'Dea et al [23] and Rafla [24] also agreed that the patients with synchronous solitary metastasis have poor survival when compared to patients who develop metastasis after removal the primary tumor. Although the site of metastasis was not significant in many reports we found patients with lung and bone metastases fared much better (median 62 months) than with liver and brain metastases (median 22 months). This could be due to the fact that not all patients with brain metastasis had undergone surgical resection, and more use of adjuvant treatment in patients with lung or bone metastasis.
Most metachronous metastases are identified in the first or second year after nephrectomy. Tally et al [25] Skinner et al [22] and Tongaonkar et al [26] found that survival in metachronous metastases which appeared before one year after the nephrectomy was poor (median overall survival 33 months) when compared to one in whom metastases appeared after one year (median overall survival 55 months). Our results also suggests that over all survival in patients with disease free interval less than one year was 31 months when compared to 63 months in those disease free intervals was more than one year.
We also noted significant difference in the survival among patients of different primary tumor stage and Fuhrman's nuclear grading with early stage and low grade having better survival. Thus, the groups of patients who do better with solitary metastasis excision are those with disease free interval of more than one year, low primary tumor stage, low grade and those with bone and pulmonary parenchymal metastasis. However, the effect of treatment modality and adjuvant immunotherapy can not be calculated due to smaller number of cases in the present series.
A small subset of patients with a solitary metastasis from renal cell carcinoma and good general condition may benefit from nephrectomy and resection/radiotherapy of the metastatic lesion. Surgical excision can locally control the tumor, and relieve pain. Patients with disease free interval of more than one year before development of solitary metastasis, early primary tumor stage, low-grade and patients with bone and pulmonary parenchymal metastasis appear to have better survival. We believe that the relatively prolonged survival of these small cohort of patients with solitary metastatic lesions from RCC justify aggressive surgical excision involving multispecialty specialists with long-term survival, however, prospective studies are needed before this can be recommended as standard practice.

Grant Alan Show (born February 27, 1962) is an American actor best known for his role on Melrose Place as Jake Hanson, which he played from 1992 to 1997.
Early life[edit]
Show was born in Detroit, Michigan to Ed and Kathleen Show, and has a sister, Kelly, with whom he was raised in the Milpitas, California area.[1] He is a UCLA graduate where he was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity.
|This section of a biography of a living person does not include any references or sources. (July 2015)
He broke into show business during college. His first major role was on the daytime soap opera Ryan's Hope, in which he played Rick Hyde from 1984–1987. During his last year on the show, he received a Daytime Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Young Man in a Daytime Drama Series". Also during his time on the soap, Show dated fellow Ryan's Hope actor Yasmine Bleeth. Hyped as the series' leading heart-throb, he even had a pin-up poster issued during the series' run but later became dissatisfied with acting in soaps and went to London in order to improve his craft. Returning to the US in the late 1980s, he landed occasional primetime television acting jobs.
His appearances on television attracted the attention of producer Aaron Spelling, who felt he had star potential and decided to cast him as Jake Hanson on a few episodes of the popular series Beverly Hills, 90210 in order to spin off the character as the lead in his next series Melrose Place. Debuting with much fanfare (Show was on the covers of both TV Guide and People immediately after the series' debut), the series' ratings in its first season were not up to expectations, and the show was revamped in the middle of the first season from an episodic straight-laced drama format to a melodramatic soap opera serial format in the tradition of Dynasty, one of Spelling's earlier hits. The series made Show one of the most popular and best-known actors on American television during the 1990s. He also played Jake in a guest appearance in the pilot of the Melrose spin-off Models Inc., making him the only actor to play the same character on the first three shows in the Beverly Hills, 90210 franchise.
During his time on Melrose Place, Show also appeared on an episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by Laura Leighton. In 1997, Show, Laura Leighton (an off-screen girlfriend of Show's for a period), Doug Savant, Courtney Thorne-Smith and Marcia Cross left Melrose Place, which led the show into a major decline. It was cancelled two years later, though Show later regretted his decision to leave, despite his dislike of the scripts during his final season.
He has since starred in a number of television movies, including Blessed Assurance with Cicely Tyson, Between Love and Honor with Robert Loggia, and Homeland Security with Tom Skerritt and was one of the leads in the short-lived Fox Network supernatural drama Point Pleasant in 2005. He made a guest appearance for three episodes in HBO's acclaimed series Six Feet Under in 2002, and in 2006 he guest-starred on two episodes of the ABC Family show Beautiful People, alongside former Melrose Place co-star Daphne Zuniga.
In 2007, Show appeared in three episodes of the FX show Dirt, playing a closeted gay action movie hero, Jack Dawson. In 2008, Show starred in the short-lived CBS summer drama series Swingtown as an airline pilot, Tom Decker. Show was also featured in a recurring role in episodes of Private Practice in the 2008-2009 season. He recently starred opposite Jenna Elfman in Accidentally on Purpose, his first sitcom. In the 2010-2011 season, he appeared in the recurrent role of Michael Sainte, the Goji Guru, on the HBO series Big Love. He has acted in a number of stage productions. In 1990, he played the lead in an adaptation of On the Waterfront and after his stint on Melrose Place he appeared in a production of The Glass Menagerie. He was on Broadway in 1999 playing a doctor in Wit. In 2012, he starred in the movie The Possession, directed by Ole Bornedal, alongside Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick. In 2013, he began his role as Spence Westmore on Devious Maids.
Personal life[edit]
Show married model and actress Pollyanna Mcintosh in 2004. The couple met when they posed together for a Lane Bryant ad in 2003. They were divorced in 2011.[2] In July 2012, Show became engaged to actress Katherine LaNasa.[3] They married on August 18, 2012.[4] They had a daughter, Eloise McCue Show, on March 25, 2014.[5]

Traffic toll in 2012: More than 800 in South Carolina
ANDERSON - The longest that South Carolina has gone during 2012 without a traffic wreck that proved fatal was three days in a row.
There were no deaths on the roads during Aug. 13, 14 and 15. Throughout the year, there were seven times when no one died on the roads for two back-to-back days.
More often, however, someone died.
There were more than 800 traffic fatalities in the state, far outpacing homicides.
Many happened at night or because of distracted or intoxicated drivers.
While careful and sober driving can not offer complete protection, it is the best way to avoid becoming a statistic, officials say.
"Each person we see has 100 other people connected to them, probably more," said Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore. "They have mothers and sons and friends and co-workers and church friends and neighbors."
The 44 traffic fatalities in Anderson County did not distinguish by race, gender, age or driving abilities.
The youngest to die was a 14-year-old, the oldest an 85-year-old.
With 45 deaths, Anderson County was the deadliest, on a per-capita basis, of the 15 counties with a population greater than 100,000. Charleston County, with more than twice the population of Anderson County, had 44 fatalities.
Four counties had more total deaths: Greenville County at 59, Richland County at 49, Spartanburg County at 47 and Lexington and Horry counties at 46 each.
Shore said the roads — with the major exception of Interstate 85, which is dangerous for different reasons — in the county were not designed for the volume of traffic they are now tasked with handling.
But distracted driving is a persistent problem, not in all of the fatalities but for many of them, he said.
He includes cell phone use, eating, applying makeup and changing the radio as just a few of the ways drivers have been distracted.
"I've seen people reading newspapers, books, while driving," Shore said.
At night, the biggest danger is drunken driving, Shore said.
Another concern is the apparent increase of teenagers who choose not to wear their seat belts.
"Your chances of surviving a wreck without a seat belt are low," he said. "People who wear their seat belt almost always survive, not always, but most of the time. If you're ejected, chances are you're not going to survive and if you do, it will be a limited life."
The South Carolina Highway Patrol is conducting a focused drunken driving enforcement effort, with checkpoints and other efforts to detect intoxicated drivers through the holiday season.
In radio and TV ads, the state patrol says its "war on DUI is under way."
The state Department of Public Safety is promoting a designated-driver effort dubbed "SANTA" or "Sober All Night Totally Awesome," to urge people to "give the gift of a safe ride home" this year.
As the holiday season approached, Shore warned of an increase that he sees each year in the number of intoxicated drivers as people enjoy celebrations and parties with friends.

Hello fellow crocheters! I am in desperate need of help reading this pattern:
This bag is SO ADORABLE and I have to figure out how to make it. It's even kept me up at night trying to figure out this diagram! I know it was in japanese but translated to english- and I am slightly familiar with stitch diagrams in the sense that I can figure out what stitch to use. However, what stumps me in this pattern, is the curvy break that runs through it. I've been calling it a river. What do I do with that? And the general system of how to work this is incredibly baffling to me. I would call myself a pretty experienced crocheter- but this is really causing me problems! ANY help I can get would be extremely appreciated! I just have to make this bag.
Thanks yall!
Sure is a pretty purse. Looking at the purse and the directions, I believe that this is what the pattern is calling for.
First you make the foundation row (which is in the middle of the pattern) and work the pattern up to the top of the page, ignoring the "river", making the stiches which are hidden under the "river".
Secondly, you start at your foundation row and work the pattern to the bottom of the page, turning page upside-down to make reading easier.
You will now have a front and a back to the purse. Now you need the sides, which will open easily and will give the purse that "fold" that you see in the picture.
Following the diagram, connect the stitches of the 'river' as shown in the diagram. You will be doing this on four (4) sides of your purse.
If you have any more problems, I will keep an eye on your post and try to help you out.
Happy Crocheting, GrammaArizona
It's me again.
I think they want you to do your stitching of the 'river' by hand, using a blind stitch ( going from the left to the right then from the right to the left) on the back of the purse, around the bottom of the purse and up to the top of the front of the purse. I am sure you know what I mean, but if not, let me know.

My husband made these for St. Patrick's Day & they were great. Will make them again. Like the cassarole dish idea - for a crowdflag if inappropriate
I have made these for St. Paddy's day for the last few years and everyone loves them. The presentation is fun and they taste great. I have also made them for everyday meals with out putting them in a bundle and it is a nice side dish.flag if inappropriate
Great presentation! A little more cheddar and this is good to go. just the right with corned beef.flag if inappropriate
These were the best and what a perfect serving!Can't wait to make them again.flag if inappropriate
This is by far my family's favorite way to have cabbage and potatoes. All four of my kids love it! If you want to save time, you don't have to individualize them into the bundles for a less formal presentation. I serve them baked in a 9x9 baking dish. AWESOME!flag if inappropriate
I made these as part of our St Paddy's feast. A fair amount of work, but I really enjoyed the idea of mixing up the plain boiled cabbage and mashed potatoes. Made according to recipe. Cooked them in ramikins. Had lots of left over mashed which i covered in the left over bread crumbs and rebaked along with the bundles. Crowd enjoyed them as well. One word of warning. while making everything tasted almost too salty, yet when paired with the corned beef, they seemed rather bland. I think it would be fun to make these and play around with different veggies.flag if inappropriate
I made this recipe for St. Patty's Day and it was a big hit, the only thing I would change is you do not need to add 3 cups of chopped cabbage, I only added about 1 1/2 cups. I made it several hours ahead and it was great!flag if inappropriate
Had this yesterday for St. Paddy's with our corned beef. First of all - it's a lot of work and time consuming. Not difficult at all but takes time and uses lots of pans. Thankfully I did it first thing in the AM and reheated for dinner. That said - these are delicious. A great way to have cabbage and barely taste it! The mashed potatoes would be good on their own too.flag if inappropriate
I made these for a dinner party last night, and they were a big hit. Left out the horseradish (because I hate it). Made ahead of time and reheated. Though not hard, it was time- consuming. Would leave myself a lot more time to do these the next time.flag if inappropriate
Good choice of side dish for St Patrick supper. Mostly for presentation.flag if inappropriate

Which GlassFish build to use?
Looking at some of the recent postings in the GlassFish forum, there appears to be some confusion in the GlassFish user community about which build to use. I will try to address the issue in this blog.
The main reason for this confusion is due to presence of two very active branches in the GlassFish CVS repository, viz: SJSAS90_FCS_BRANCH and the trunk (a.k.a. the main branch). They look something like this:
b48 / b47 / b46 / b45 / b44 / b43 / /SJSAS_90FCS_BRANCH / / TRUNK__..._b41_b42__/____________________ TRUNK ^ | 30 Mar 2006 (The numbers starting with b are build numbers)
As the name suggests, SJSAS90_FCS_BRANCH is used for release of Sun Java System/Application Server PE 9.0 as well as Java EE 5 SDK. As the diagram shows, this branch was forked from the trunk around 30 March 2006. It is a highly controlled branch as it is used to release a product and currently this branch is in high resistance mode as the final release date is fast approaching. As a standard product release process, not all kinds of bug fixes are going into this branch.
The situation is very different for the trunk. It is open for checkins. In fact a lot of bug fixes and quite a few enhancements have gone into the trunk since SJSAS_90FCS_BRANCH was forked. If I have to single out any one module which has changed most in the trunk since the 9.0 branch was forked, then it will be entity-persistence module, which is the Java Persistence API implementation module in GlassFish. Not all these fixes were back ported to the SJSAS_90FCS_BRANCH for obvious reasons. Be rest assured, a number of these bugs will eventually be made available in a subsequent Update Release(UR) for 9.0.
Difference between promoted builds and nightly build
As the name suggests, nightly build happens every night. Before a binary is posted in the nightly download site, it must pass a predefined set of test cases. So, you can use a nightly build during development phase of your project. Typically after a series of nightly builds, one of the nihgtly builds get promoted and is made available in the promoted builds' web site. The typical frequency has been 1 week in GlassFish project. This allows the delta between two promotions to be significant. The number of tests that are run before promoting a nightly build is much larger than what are run to test the nightly builds.
Build Numbers/Name:
Each promoted build has a unique name. e.g. b01, b02...,b48 are all names of promoted builds happening on different dates. The nightly builds also have a name. It has two components viz: the next promoted build number and the date on which it was built. e.g. glassfish-installer-b43-nightly-01_may_2006.jar.
What is the confusion?
If you look at the branch diagram, you shall see that the b41, b42 etc. were built using source from the trunk. After the FCS branch was forked, promoted builds like b43, b44, ..., b48 (this is the latest promoted build as I am writing this blog) were done using source code taken from SJSAS_90FCS_BRANCH. This has confused many users. When users see some bug being marked as fixed, it is natural for them to expect the fix to be available in the next promoted build, but that did not happen after b42. I feel it would have been better to call 9.0 branch builds as something like b43_90 and continue to use b43, b44 as build numbers for trunk builds.
To specifically address such confusion, IssueTracker has a field called target milestone, but at this point, it is not clear what should be used in this field when a fix is integrated into the trunk. I wish, we could just use 9.1.
Finally, there is no promoted builds happening on the trunk right now. If you look at the GlassFish promited builds download site, you can see that after b42, there are no promotions happening on the trunk. Only nightly builds are happening as GlassFish nightly build download site shows. If you choose the platform of your choice there, you can see that there are download bundles are available with names like glassfish-installer-b43-nightly-01_may_2006.jar. Look at the date encoded in the name. That conveys the date on which that binary was built.
When is situation going to improve?
Recently a P1 issue (#640) has been filed and very soon I am hoping to see promoted builds happening on trunk.
In the mean while, if you are waiting for a build which fixes one of the bugs you are encountering, then you may use the latest nightly build. Use the date to decide which one is the latest build, don't assume that since the name contains b43, it is an old build.More blogs about glassfish glassfish
