Adrenocortical carcinomaTumor - adrenal
Adrenocortical carcinoma is a cancer of the adrenal glands.
Adrenocortical carcinoma is most common in children younger than 5 and adults in their 30s and 40s.
Adrenocortical carcinoma may be linked to a cancer syndrome that is passed down through families (inherited). Both men and women can develop this tumor.
Adrenocortical carcinoma can produce the hormones cortisol, aldosterone, estrogen, or testosterone, as well as other hormones. In women the tumor often releases these hormones, which can lead to male characteristics.
The cause is unknown. About 2 people per million develop this type of tumor.
Symptoms that suggest increased cortisol or other adrenal gland hormone production:
- Fatty, rounded hump high on the back just below the neck (buffalo hump)
- Flushed rounded face with pudgy cheeks (moon face)
- Obesity
- Stunted growth in height (short stature)
- Virilization - the appearance of male characteristics, including increased body hair (especially on the face), pubic hair, acne, deepening of voice, and enlarged clitoris (girls)
Symptoms that suggest increased aldosterone production are the same as symptoms of low potassium and include:
- Muscle cramps
- Weakness
Exams and Tests
The doctor or nurse will examine you. You may have high blood pressure and changes in body shape, such as breast growth in men (gynecomastia) or malesigns in women (virilization). Blood tests will be done to check hormone levels:
- ACTH level will be low.
- Aldosterone level will be high.
- Cortisol level will be high.
- Potassium level will be low.
- Male or female hormones may be abnormally high.
Imaging tests may include:
Primary treatment is surgery to remove the tumor. Adrenocortical carcinoma may not improve with chemotherapy. Medications may be given to reduce production of cortisol, which causes many of the symptoms.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outcome depends on how early the diagnosis is made and whether the tumor has spread (metastasized). Tumors that have spread usually lead to death within 1 to 3 years.
Possible Complications
The tumor can spread to the liver, bone, lung, or other areas.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you or your child has symptoms of adrenocortical carcinoma, Cushing syndrome, or failure to grow.

Ratings for Dr. Garabed P. Nishanian
Dr. Nishanian is just amazing. I got wonderful results and his office is organized & friendly. Ivonne is his nurse and she is the best! They run a little late due to his thoroughness & he really gets to know his patients. Well worth the wait!!!
If you're looking for the typical specialist Doctor who spends a few minutes with you then Dr. Nishanian is not the Doctor for you. A typical office appointment with him involves a lot of waiting, then a lot of personal attention and "face time" with the Doctor. The waiting is because he is spending so much time with each of his patients. I've had two appointments with him so far, and each included over a half hour talking with him. I doubt he schedules more than one patient an hour. He is conscientious about discussing all aspects of diagnosis and treatment including possible and recommended courses of action, risks, and options. If you want an extremely skilled, knowledgeable, personable, caring Doctor, then Dr. Nishanian is your guy!
Dr. Nishanian is the absolute best vascular surgeon you could have. He is extremely knowledgeable and very caring. I wish I still had him as my surgeon, however, he has moved out of my area and not available to me. If there were a way I could still be his patient, I would be! Don't ever hesitate to be a patient of his. You will be extremely pleased with his competency, caring bedside manner which is difficult if not impossible to find today, and quickly develop trust with his knowledge.
Very knowledgeable and caring. Did not rush me and thoroughly examined me . The technologist in another room explained the testing about to take place place and was gentle and thorough and fast. Dr studied the results and explained my problem and how it could be fixed. When I had difficulty understanding he actually drew a picture to show me where the problem was. His staff were always helpful and efficient. I was always taken into the examining room after waiting only a few minutes. He is a brilliant surgeon and his office staff is very efficient professional and caring too.

NEW YORK (AP) - The 2013 cruise season began with a nightmare: A Carnival ship adrift with no power. But in the last month or so, several cruise companies - including Carnival - have announced major overhauls to old ships and exciting innovations on new ships, from engineering upgrades to theme park-style rides.
Remember dog-dish hubcaps? Those "no-frills" nut covers were common on muscle cars of the '60s, including the Dodge Super Bee.

He was scheduled to appear on television's most popular "The Mike Douglas Show" in the early 70s to showcase his talents. Five days before he was to return home from Vietnam he suffered a bizarre injury when a rocket exploded in his face and severed his neck from ear-to-ear. His fellow soldiers had already tagged Gutierrez thinking that he had expired.
Specialists from all over the world have no explanation of how his vocal cords have grown. Gutierrez, a Texas resident, drives all over the country sharing his amazing story.

Tying the Knot on Valentine's Day
(Northeast Ohio) - About 57 couples tied the knot at Cleveland's Tower City on this Valentine's Day.
The largest number of couple since the Cleveland Municipal Court started holding such ceremonies.
Andrew and Erica Tischler of North Olmsted decided to jump at the opportunity to get hitched on Valentine's Day before hundreds of people in downtown Cleveland.
Erica says they originally planned to get married in June, but quickly moved the date up.
After they ceremony, the couple returned to their jobs, with Andrew explaining that even though he and Erica are now one, they still have to earn money.
Noel and David Kelly of Lakewood were married after the Tischlers.
David seemed to be taken aback by the experience of being married in front of so many witnesses.
Noel admitted she was the one to popped the question, with David quickly accepting. They are planning a family celebration in Michigan this June.
Local couple Shawn Bonner and Twilica Clay were one of many couples who will be getting married on Valentine's Day.
They tied the knot at Akron Municipal Court.
The couple met in high school but didn't reconnect until a few years later after Twilica moved to Florida and Shawn ran into a friend at a wedding.
The friend sent Twilica a picture and then Twilica called Shawn and the two began a long distance relationship.
Eight months later Shawn drove to Florida on a cold February day with a U-Haul and brought Twilica and her two children back to Northeast Ohio.
Shawn proposed on August 14th last year and promised Twilica that six months later they'd be married.
Six months happened to be February 14th 2014 and February is significant to the couple because that's when Twilica moved back to Cleveland.
Shawn says he looks forward to celebrating the day of love with his new bride and their family all gathered at Akron Municipal court to witness people proclaiming their love for each other.

Quiz now finished - see solution in post #51.
It's been a while since we had a quiz so her are two little quizzes to help make the week whiz by.
The first quiz (brought to you by Rayzur) is cure a real life problem in webkit browsers when using display:inline-block and you will need to find a solution to the white space problem that inline-block causes.
The second quiz is "just for fun" so please no comments about not styling form controls as I don't expect you to use this technique for real but as an exercise in solving problems. The task is to style an input of the "type='file'" which (if you google it) has never been fully achieved without using javascript at some stage.
[B]==============================================First Quiz.
[/B][B]Fix The Webkit Inline-Block + Word-Spacing Bug[/B]
There are many times when we need to have "Centered Widthless Blocks" in a simple UL. That is easily accomplished by setting text-align:center on the UL and then setting display:inline-block; on the LI. Since the list items are still actually following the rules of inline elements we get white-space nodes when the HTML is formatted in the normal manner.
There are many tricks to hiding the white-space nodes but they all fall short in the Webkit browser engine. It was a hot topic of discussion in this recent thread.
font-size:0 DOES NOT kill white space bug in webkit
The font-size:0; trick: only allows us to reset the children font-sizes in pixel values and it still leaves about a 1px gap in Chrome and Safari (both using the Webkit engine). That just doesn't give enough flexibility nor does it resolve the problem completely.
The word-spacing:-1em; trick: works well for all other modern browsers since they do not collapse the over-sized negative values. That is really our best option until/ if white-space-collapse: is accepted into the CSS3 specs. The problem is that Webkit completely ignores the word-spacing property when it is used on inline-blocks.
Other tricks: include using extra wrapping divs or altering the HTML tags by chaining them together. Those methods do work but they have their downsides too. They are discussed in detail within the thread link above.
I have also set up a test-case which explains the buggy behavior with Webkit. It can be found in Post #33 of that discussion thread.
Your goal is to take the code below as a starting point and find a pure CSS solution to the "Webkit Inline-Block + Word-Spacing Bug". Yes, there is a solution to it and it is very simple. It should not require more than two new rules in the css to bring it to a fully X-Browser solution.
Rules: (There are always rules)
Remember we are solving the inline-block problem so there will be no prizes for removing the inline-block and using some other method such as floating etc.
Here is the code you will be using as your starting point.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>CSS Quiz #35: Fix The Webkit Inline-Block + Word-Spacing Bug</title>
<![endif]-->
Yes that is ironic and I suppose for the quiz we should have said forget about IE for the time being as we all know how to make then work but at the same time we didn't want you to break it for IE either which is why the code was left in place.
We are really only interested in you solving the webkit bug using valid usable code and didn't want to send you on a wild goose chase through miles of advanced css3 and webkit vendor extensions looking for a solution.
This one is particularly annoying for me as not being able to change markup OR THE CSS? What the ****?!? My solution in this case is always don't use inline-block; either float them or use display:table-cell...
Since as a rule I would never put inline-block on a LI since IE knows it not... usually when I need this there are ANCHORS inside the LI and I'd probably never use inline-block on anything other than a menu.
I suppose adding a new display rule after the 'feel free to edit' would be cheating?
Already walking away from the first one as "oh, **** this"
Let's see the second one... and no. Given how completely screwed up Sucko and Web**** are on styling form elements (which is to say they won't do it at all) much less that FF will not accept width or height the same as other browsers I don't see how that's even possible even with CSS3... Which is what I'm assuming is being alluded to.
Are vendor prefixes considered a hack?
Note to self: read the darn thread before asking dumb questions.
Oh, and it's broken in the last version of nyetscape in gecko mode as well as iceweasel here because it omits the OTHER more recent gecko property - display:-moz-inline-block; inline-box is for pre gecko 1.5, between 1.5 and 1.8 you need inline-block, and declaring both (-moz-inine-block first) fixes bugs in various versions of gecko based browsers that are SUPPOSED to support -moz-inline-block but still screw it up.
That's why you should always use all three in this order:
... and again, give IE's support is why I'd NEVER put inline-block on a LI.
I think Joe was talking about what the code says (unless I am tired).

This guest post comes from Nicole Alley, who works in the Webteam. She is a geek at heart who loves taking photos.
I joined the National Trust this year, and recently visited Rippon Lea House & Gardens in Elsternwick. Rippon Lea is a 19th century suburban estate significant for its mansion, garden and outbuildings. And, as I discovered, it has a few connections to our very own Royal Exhibition Building too.

I started my visit with a tour of the mansion, where I noticed a print of the Royal Exhibition Building hanging on a wall. Below it was a black and white print that I also recognised; it's of a painting by Tom Roberts showing the opening of the first Parliament of Australia at the Royal Exhibition Building in 1901.
I asked our guide, Jim, what the connection was. He explained that Sir Frederick Thomas Sargood, who created Rippon Lea, attended the opening of Parliament at the Royal Exhibition Building. Jim pointed to a face in the image: "That's him there." I knew Jim hadn't just picked a random face to liven up his story; Roberts was required to include at least 250 recognisable faces in his painting, including members of the new Commonwealth Parliament, and created a sketch with a key to the names. Sargood was a Senator at the time and is listed at number 121.
What's more, Sargood was the Executive Vice-President of the Commission for the 1888 Melbourne Centennial International Exhibition, held at the Royal Exhibition Building. He was largely responsible for bringing out the conductor, Sir Frederick Cowen, at great expense, to establish an orchestra for the exhibition. (This Collections Online theme page explains how significant music was at the exhibition, and to Melbourne life in general.)
After the tour I set out to explore the grounds. With wide lawns, shrubberies, flower beds, shady trees, and cool features like an orchard, lake, boathouse, fernery and lookout tower, it was picturesque and adventurous. Growing up here would've been great – just imagine how long a game of hide and seek would've lasted!

There's a windmill too. When Sargood created Rippon Lea, the site wasn't connected to Melbourne's water supply so he devised a sophisticated rainwater collection, irrigation and drainage/recycling system. The windmill pumped the water through underground storage tanks and pipes and ensured the entire estate was self-sustainable. Rippon Lea was later switched across to the main supply, however the National Trust is now in the process of reinstating Sargood's system.
And that's another connection: in February we completed our World Heritage, World Futures project to reinstate the 1880s garden on the Western Forecourt of the Royal Exhibition Building. Before the garden went in, we installed an underground system of tanks and pipes that will collect and distribute rainwater to Carlton Gardens, including the fountains and ponds, and also to the Forest Gallery and Milarri Garden inside Melbourne Museum.
Back at work, I did some further reading and found a few more interesting pieces of shared history between these two grand 19th century sites:

Actinic keratosisSolar keratosis; Sun-induced skin changes - keratosis; Keratosis - actinic (solar)
Actinic keratosis is a small, rough, raised area found on areas of your skin that have often been exposed to the sun for along period of time.
Some actinic keratoses may develop into a type of skin cancer.
Actinic keratosis is caused byexposure to sunlight.
You are more likely to develop this if you:
- Have fair skin, blue or green eyes, or blond or red hair
- Had a kidney or other transplant
- Takemedicines that suppress the immune system
- Spend a lot of time each day in the sun (for example, if you work outdoors)
- Had many, severe sunburns early in life
- Are older
Actinic keratosis is usually found on the face, scalp, back of the hands, chest, or places that are often in the sun.
- The skin changes begin asflat and scaly areas. They often have a white or yellow crusty "scale" on top.
- The growths may be gray, pink, red, or the same color as the skin. Later they may become hard and wart-like or gritty and rough.
- The areas may be easier to feel than see.
Exams and Tests
Your doctor or nurse will look at your skin to diagnose this condition. A skin biopsy may be done to see if it is cancer.
Some actinic keratoses become squamous cell skin cancer. Have all skin growths looked at by a doctor as soon as you find them. Your doctor will tell you how to treat it.
Growths may be removed by:
- Burning (electrical cautery)
- Scraping away the lesion and using electricity to kill any remaining cells (called curettage and electrodesiccation)
- Cutting the tumor out and using stitches to place the skin back together (called excision)
- Freezing (cryotherapy, which freezes and kills the cells)
If you have many of these skin growths, your doctor may recommend:
- A laser treatment called photodynamic therapy
- Chemical peels
- Skin creams such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and imiquimod
Outlook (Prognosis)
A small number of these skin growths turn a type ofskin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you see or feel a rough or scaly spot on your skin, or if you notice any other skin changes.
The best way to lower your risk of actinic keratosis and skin cancer is to learn how to protect your skin from sun and ultraviolet (UV) light.
Things you can do to lower your exposure to sunlight include:
- Wear clothing such as hats, long-sleeved shirts, long skirts, or pants.
- Try to avoid being in the sun during midday, when ultraviolet light is most intense.
- Use high-quality sunscreens, preferably with a sun protection factor (SPF) rating of at least 15. Pick a sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB light.
- Apply sunscreen before going out into the sun, and reapply often.
- Use sunscreen year-round, including in the winter.
- Avoid sun lamps, tanning beds, and tanning salons.
Other things to know about sun exposure:
- Sun exposure is stronger in or near surfaces that reflect light, such as water, sand, concrete, and areas painted white.
- Sun exposure is more intense at the beginning of the summer.
- Skin burns faster at higher altitudes.

text: The third time must be the charm for Lost star Emilie De Ravin. She and her husband of seven years are actually going through a divorce. Probably. Maybe. Well, it could happen. Back when the couple first got hitched there was trouble almost immediately and Emilie filed for divorce after just six months of marriage. Nothing happened though. Two years later her husband was finally served, but again, nothing happened. This time though, Emilie's husband Joshua Janowicz did the filing so that is one indication it might finally happen. I probably wouldn't care all that much about this divorce but I have been binge watching Lost in order to finally try and understand every nuance of the show so am seeing Emilie's face every single day in front of my eyes. Back in the day there were rumors that she and Robert Pattinson hooked up while filming which led to divorce filing number one. OK, they were more than rumors. I think the whole world was talking about them.

Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak was blunt in his assessment with Jordan Loveridge on Monday. Yes, the freshman played well against Oregon - offensively.
But when Krystkowiak looked at the stat sheet, one number stood out: Zero.
That represents the number of rebounds Loveridge pulled down against the Ducks. As Oregon pounded the Utes on the boards, Loveridge's best skill went silent at the wrong time.
That wasn't the case against Arizona State for the rookie out of West Jordan. He scored 13 points to complement Jason Washburn's game-high 26 points. More importantly, Loveridge pulled down six rebounds. He hauled down boards in traffic and he did it without sacrificing his offensive game.
"We finally started to get rebounds that we needed," Loveridge said. "We stepped up and made the plays that were needed."
Loveridge looks to finally be healthy and pain free from the knee injury that bothered him for a few weeks. In a game where Utah looked good, then shaky, and then good again, Loveridge stood out when it counted the most.

I enjoy your magazine immensely and read it from cover to cover. I was excited when I saw the July 2011 issue had the Detroit City Guide. But you missed one extensive source: The Genealogy of the French Families of the Detroit River Region, 1701-1936 by Christian Denissen (Detroit Society for Genealogical Research) digitized by Lisa Masters. Family Tree Magazine could do an entire article on the founding of Detroit and this wonderful source.

Civil War Additions
In "Allison's Top 3 Tips" of the May 2011 issue, she mentions Civil War pensions and their rich genealogical value. I'd like to tell your readers to request the complete file from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The pages left out when only "selected" records are requested can be the missing link to their family.
David A. Fryxell suggests using NARA sources, but only after you've exhausted the websites. He mentions the Organization Index to Pension Files of Soldiers Who Served Between 1861 and 1900 on Footnote, but not the General Index to Pension Files, 1861-1934 on Ancestry. Both indexes should be checked because some men were missed by the War Department or by the digitizing.
I'd also like to recommend a book: They Fought Like Demons by DeAnne Blanton and Lauren M. Cook (Louisiana State University Press). This is an extremely well-documented book. DeAnne is a military archivist at the National Archives in Washington, DC.

Some injured workers are referred to the Donley Center for a special test called a Functional Capacity Evaluation or FCE for short.
What is an FCE and why do we do this type of testing? FCE's are a very common form of specialized physical testing performed to help a doctor determine a patient's physical capabilities, the best course of treatment and most importantly, the ability to return to work (RTW).
Who performs the FCE? An FCE is performed by a registered Physical or Occupational Therapist with special training and expertise.
The FCE evaluation is several hours long and consists of 4 parts.
Part I is an interview. The injured worker will first meet with a Registered Nurse to determine if there are any medical reasons not to perform the test, such as high blood pressure or lung problems. Next, the patient is assigned to one of our staff Physical Therapists (PT). The therapist will want to get a full understanding of the patient's own perception of the injury, his or her recovery and ability to Return to Work (RTW). Often, the employer has provided a job description and we can use this to construct the testing. As with all of our services, the Donley Center provides professional interpreters for non-English-speaking clients.
Part II is clinical evaluation. This is when the Physical Therapist measures the patient's strength, flexibility and sensation. He or she will also try to define and qualify pain behavior and exact physical difficulties or limitations.
Part III is the actual functional evaluation when the patient will be asked to perform a variety of physical movements and tasks such as walking, bending, and carrying loads. The test activities vary for each patient and are based upon individual diagnosis and information from the physician and the employer. The Therapist takes care to introduce all of the activities very gradually while monitoring the patient closely for any signs of complications.
Part IV is the most important part. The Therapist will review the findings of the test with the patient and discuss recommendations for the future. What happens to the test results? A full report is sent to the referring doctor describing the test components and results. Patients are asked to perform to the best of their ability. Every patient has the right to refuse to continue any test procedure at any time. However, if appropriate and safe, the Therapist may ask the patient to continue despite minor pain. It is only during this period that we can accurately assess the degree of functional ability or disability. It is important that a patient commit to performing to their maximum capability in order for the test to be considered valid. The Physical Therapist uses a number of signs, such as heart rate, and posture response to determine if the patient has put forth their best effort.
Functional Capacity Evaluation testing is a valuable tool to assess a patient's recovery, determine treatment goals and assist in returning injured workers back to gainful employment.
If you have any questions about the FCE, call the Donley Center at (401) 243-1200.

SAP® Mobile Documents to Give Business Users a Secure, Single Point of Access to Files and Ability to Share Content from Any Mobile Device; Solution Already Proven With More Than 11,000 SAP Users
BARCELONA, Spain - To meet heavy demand for simple, highly secure file synchronization and sharing in the enterprise, SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced the SAP® Mobile Documents solution. The new mobile content management solution aims to help increase user productivity by providing a single entry point to personal business documents and corporate content via any mobile device. SAP Mobile Documents is a standalone software solution and when combined with the industry-leading1 SAP® Afaria® mobile device management solution, is planned to enable customers to experience a complete enterprise mobility management (EMM) platform for securing mobile devices, apps and content. The announcement was made at Mobile World Congress 2013, being held in Barcelona, Spain, February 25-28, where SAP is located at Hall 7, 7C70.
Today, businesses require access to content and files including videos, documents, spreadsheets and presentations on mobile devices. According to Gartner, "iPads and other tablets have sparked interest in mobile file sync solutions. Consumer-based solutions are popular, but it's hard to find a secure, easy-to-administer enterprise-grade solution."² Business content is often emailed and stored locally on mobile devices or stored on consumer-grade third-party file sharing sites, but these methods are deemed insecure by corporate IT departments. SAP Mobile Documents aims to help IT administrators centrally apply and enforce management and security policies to help ensure all corporate content is secure.
"Providing secure mobile access to critical content and data clearly is paramount for businesses. Our customers require a broad, easy-to-integrate enterprise mobility management platform for mobile security that covers everything from mobile device and application management, to mobile content management, and eventually the Internet-of-Things," said Sanjay Poonen, president, Global Solutions, SAP. "The release of SAP Mobile Documents and our support for third-party mobile content tools will help connect the vast amounts of content and data driven from millions of business-class devices and mobile apps via the cloud. This new level of business collaboration and productivity far exceeds what existed only a few short months ago."
"In our 2012 study of more than 30 content management implementations, Nucleus found that second and third-generation content management investments like the new SAP Mobile Documents approach can drive greater productivity and more streamlined processes up to triple-digit ROI," said Hyoun Park, principal analyst, Nucleus Research. "In aggregate, our research determined that for every one dollar a company spends on content management, it can realize more than six dollars return on investment." ³
SAP Runs SAP
To address business level security requirements not met from consumer-grade mobile content management solutions, SAP developed an internal version of SAP Mobile Documents. Stemming from the widespread adoption of this internal version by more than 11,000 SAP employees, SAP recognized the need to bring the solution to market.
"SAP has more than 53,000 mobile users and many voiced the need for enterprise-caliber mobile content management based on their personal usage of popular cloud-based offerings," said Oliver Bussmann, chief information officer, SAP. "We created what is now known as SAP Mobile Documents and its rapid adoption exposed a significant void in the market. This led to a highly collaborative internal development effort by our IT and product development teams to enhance SAP Mobile Documents and make it market-ready. And by pairing SAP Mobile Documents with SAP Afaria, businesses experience an extremely robust EMM platform."
Single Access Point to all Corporate Content
Through the adoption of SAP Mobile Documents, businesses large and small are planned to have multi-device access to all content through a single entry point. This aims to help ensure that employees have access to all of their personal business documents and corporate content, which is critical for workers who need the most current information at their fingertips.
"Our employees need to securely share documents on their mobile devices and we simply cannot risk using a consumer-grade solution," said Quentin Hurst, director business system applications, Nuvasive. "Managing mobile content is an important part of our entire mobile strategy, and we need an enterprise-grade solution that will help us increase employee productivity by providing access to the content our users need to get their job done."
SAP addresses enterprise-grade mobile content management and security in four critical areas: authentication, encryption, compliance and sharing. Key features of SAP Mobile Documents are planned to include:

The war of Park City's ski titans appears headed for trial.
Third District Judge Ryan M. Harris cleared the way Tuesday for Park City Mountain Resort to take Talisker Corp., which owns and runs the nearby Canyons Resort, to a jury trial to determine who will run Park City's oldest operating ski enterprise.
In a 47-page ruling, Harris dismissed six causes of action brought by PCMR against Talisker. But he allowed two claims to go forward: One allows PCMR to argue its lease of ski terrain has not expired; a second allows PCMR to seek $7 million in damages for infrastructure improvements made after April 30, 2011 the date Talisker says the lease expired.
PCMR has leased 3,700 acres of ski terrain adjacent to Old Town Park City for $155,000 per year. By contrast, Talisker spends about $3 million annually to lease ski terrain at Canyons from Wolf Mountain.
PCMR filed suit March 9, alleging it had met its obligation for extending its lease but Talisker would not renew the lease and was seeking to drive PCMR out of business.
Talisker later filed a motion to dismiss the suit.
Tuesday evening, Alan Sullivan, who represents PCMR, said his client will now move forward with the discovery process and then on to a jury trial.
"We are very hopeful we will prevail at trial," he said. "We can also move forward with the damages claim."
The Salt Lake City-based attorney for Talisker, John R. Lund, could not be reached for comment Tuesday evening.
In 1975, PCMR's predecessor, Park City Ski Area, amended an agreement with United Park City Mines to say the lease would end on April 30, 1991, but could be extended by three 20-year terms to 2051. Talisker acquired United Park City Mines in 2004.
In oral arguments before Harris in Summit County's 3rd District Court on Oct. 30, attorneys for Talisker said PCMR did not renew its lease in writing by April 30, 2011, as is required under Utah law.
New York City-based attorney Daniel Beller said that as such, PCMR had no standing to sue Talisker. He characterized the lawsuit as "complete nonsense."
PCMR did notify Talisker in writing of its intent to renew the lease two days after the deadline. In addition, Sullivan told the judge that PCMR and Talisker had ongoing discussions concerning lease renewal.
Although allowing the suit to move forward, the judge dismissed various other aspects of the suit, including: claims that Talisker had a responsibility to remind PCMR that its lease was about to expire; claims that statements to the Utah Tax Commission from United Park City Mines or Talisker amounted to a lease renewal; claims that Talisker had acted in bad faith; and claims that if Talisker prevailed it would amount to monopolization under the Utah Anti Trust Act.
No date has been set for trial.

"In this moment of pain and of mourning, I must assure you of my absolute solidarity," Duvalier wrote.
Duvalier was declared president for life in 1971, after the death of his father, Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier.
Think Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines, Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier of Haiti, and Suharto of Indonesia, among others.
But Duvalier, famously known as "Baby Doc," emerged from the shadows via email late Friday night.
Duvalier can even argue that many Haitians were better off under his rule than they are now; how could they be worse off?
He feels that Duvalier will be the one to provide homes and jobs for people like him.
Asindor agrees that most of what the foreign media and organizations have said about Duvalier is not true.
Yet Duvalier never apologized for his family's brutality and continued to defend his rule until his death.
Lisa Armstrong reports from Port au Prince on the welcome reception Duvalier received from his supporters.
Supposedly, President Duvalier received a letter from Washington.
