A Large Congenital Epulis With Associated Incomplete Cleft Lip
Congenital Epulis (congenital granular cell tumor) is a relatively uncommon benign mass which, when occurs, is always present at birth. The lesion is commonly small and may involute with no intervention. Occasionally, the size of the lesion may necessitate surgical intervention secondary to airway concerns or difficulty feeding. The following is a case of an unusually large congenital epulis with a closely associated incomplete cleft lip.
CASE: The Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery service at Westchester Medical Center was consulted by the Neonatal ICU to evaluate and treat a one day old female with a large lesion protruding from her oral cavity. The otherwise healthy female was born one day prior at an outside facility. The lesion measured approximately 6x8cm at birth and was not detected on any prenatal sonograms per the mother. The APGAR scores were 9 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes. The birth weight and length were in the 50th and 90th percentile respectively. The patient was transferred to Westchester Medical Center for further management. There was no reported airway depression as birth and the patient was transported without airway protection. At the time of consultation the patient had been intubated in preparation for an MRI. A lobulated lesion measuring approximately 5cm diameter was noted to be protruding from the right side of the patient's anterior maxilla. The lesion was compressible with a doughy consistency, and was pedunculated on anterior maxillary alveolar ridge right of midline. Although superficial vasculature was visible on the surface of the lesion, no bruit or thrill was detected and the lesion did not blanch upon compression. visible on the surface of the lesion, no bruit or thrill was detected and the lesion did not blanch upon compression.
The remainder of the physical examination and laboratory studies was not remarkable. T1 and T2 weighted pre and post contrast MRI as well as MRA studies were obtained. The lesion in the T1 non contrast enhanced images was iso-intense to the surrounding tissue. T2 non contrast enhanced and T1 contrast enhanced images demonstrated splotchy areas of enhancement, mostly in the periphery of the lesion. A single prominent right external carotid artery branch possibly of the internal maxillary artery was noted on the MRA supplying the lesion.
The clinical preoperative diagnosis was congenital epulis. It was thus decided to remove the lesion in its entirety without incisional biopsy. The patient was taken to the OR and placed on the operating room table. As discussed the patient was already intubated. The area surrounding the lesion was painted with 10% providone iodine. The stalk was then isolated and double clamped using Kelly forceps. The stalk was then sharply divided between the clamps using a #15 scalpel blade. The proximal stump was then ligated with 0 silk and the proximal clamp was then removed. This technique resulted in zero blood loss. The patient was extubated later that day and was tolerating PO by that evening. Pt was discharged the next day. At follow up, on post op day ten, the stump and silk suture had fallen off and the surgical site was clean and hemostatic. The post op course was uneventful and the patient was developing appropriately. The final diagnosis of the lesion was Congenital Epulis. Upon removal of the lesion an incomplete right sided cleft lip was noted. The location of the cleft corresponded exactly to the stalk of the lesion. The primary cleft repair was performed 2 months later.
Discussion: Congenital epulis are rare benign solid tumors of unclear origin. They have been described as hamartomas. Most are 2cm or less in diameter. Smaller lesions have been known to involute with no intervention. There is a large female predilection. In 10% of cases the patient will present with multiple lesions. It is more commonly found in the maxilla and lateral to the midline. In those cases where the lesion interferes with feeding or there is concern for airway patency excision is indicated. Excision, even incomplete, is considered curative.
Histologically, the lesion is similar to the adult granular cell tumor or myoblastoma. They contain syncytial sheets of round to polygonal cells with eosinophilic granular cytoplasm. The congenital epulis is noticeably more vascular than the adult version. Ultrastructurally, congenital epulis demonstrates intermediate filaments with fusiform electron densities suggests that some of the granular cells have morphologic attributes of myofibroblasts. The current consensus on the adult tumor etiology is the Schwann cell. This theory behind separate etiologies is bolstered by the fact that CE stain uniformly negative for S100 in contrast with the adult version.
An argument can be made in this case for the presence of the tumor interfering with fusion of the right maxillary process with the median nasal process thereby directly causing the formation of the incomplete cleft. Hamartomas grow at the same rate as the surrounding tissues. Judging by the size of the tumor it can by argued that it was present in early gestation at the point of fusion of the maxillary processes. Several articles have postulated mechanical obstruction etiologies for palatal clefts but an exhaustive literature search revealed no articles suggesting a mechanical etiology for cleft lip.

The Crucible, a historical play based on events of the Salem witchcraft trials, takes place in a small Puritan village in the colony of Massachusetts in 1692. The witchcraft trials, as Miller explains in a prose prologue to the play, grew out of the particular moral system of the Puritans, which promoted interference in others' affairs as well as a repressive code of conduct that frowned on any diversion from norms of behavior.

Tips for Avoiding Plagiarism
- Keep copies of all of your sources if possible. Then if questioned about plagiarism you will have the original sources for evidence. If you are unable to keep copies, make sure you keep at least a list of sources with information, such as call numbers, so that you can easily retrieve that information.
- Reserve one color highlighter to mark passages that you might want to directly quote in your paper. Draft copies of the paper can also highlight those passages in the same color so that you can check the exact quote for accuracy against the original. Put quotation marks around exact quotes and make sure they really are EXACT.
- Another color highlighter can be used to mark passages you want to paraphrase. Be sure to check final versions of your paper against the original information to make sure your paraphrase hasn't become a direct quote inadvertently. Paraphrases should be cited. Even though written in your own words, the ideas behind the actual words belong to someone else.
- "Common knowledge" need not be cited, but what is "common knowledge?" Unique ideas MUST be cited. In general, factual information that is presented in more than one of your sources need not be cited. Common knowledge is not dependant on the source. Information mentioned in an encyclopedia article, if that is the ONLY place you find it, should be cited. Information on a web site, if that is the ONLY place it is mentioned, should be cited.
- Patchwriting, where one or two words in a sentence are changed, should be avoided. By simply changing a word in a sentence (like "many" to "several") you are not stating the idea in your own words. Think about the "big picture" of what an entire passage or paragraph is saying and make sure you understand its meaning. Change the sentence structure around and use vocabulary that is comfortable to you. If the idea is best expressed as a direct quote, you should cite it as such.
- Become comfortable with your preferred documentation style. Be sure that as you gather sources you are also getting all the information you will need to cite the source properly.
- Begin your research as early as possible and avoid procrastination. Research done quickly is prone to sloppiness, which may in turn become inadvertent plagiarism. Allow plenty of time for synthesizing the information you gather and plan to write multiple drafts of the paper itself.
Further information on plagiarism and other academic honesty policies can be found in the Buena Vista University Student Handbook.

MLB scouts have a tough job. Each year they check out thousands of talented baseball players and have to make a snap judgement on whether or not their team should spend millions of dollars draft the player. Then, when the draft takes place and literally hundreds of players are drafted only a fraction will ever make a MLB club and from that small pool only a fraction will become MLB all-stars. It's certainly a thankless job, probably more so now after Moneyball hit theaters, but today we look at the scouts who got it right and also failed miserably at identifying future MLB greats.

10. "Lord Knows"
Just Blaze gives Drake a track with a sky-kissing mix of gospel choir, gauzy R&B sample and stomping beat: it's busy and overheated and a nice break from the usual sparse, slow Drake production style. Drake rarely sounds this hyped up and Rick Ross comes in for a hilarious verse: "Villa on the water with the wonderful view / Only fat nigga in the sauna with Jews."
11. "Cameras/Good Ones Go"
Over a minimal Lex Luger beat that's all snakey hi hat clicks and dark low-end vroom, Drake does his best to disabuse a woman of the misconception that he's cheating on her after she sees images of him with another woman in a magazine: "Look like we in love, but only on camera." Some girls just can't make the subtle distinction between image and reality like Drake can. The track fades into "Good Ones Go," a cavernous R&B lament for the girls we lose – so it looks like the girl from "Cameras" was unconvinced by Drake's semiotic argument.
12. "Doing It Wrong"
The much-anticipated Stevie Wonder joint. The song is a brooding track with Seventies synth hits and summery harmonica solo courtesy of the R&B legend, now in his amazing sixth decade of legend-hood, that's a striking counterpoint to the emotional frozen-world of the song ("we live in a generation of not being in love"). Stevie doesn't seem to sing though, so this generational meeting is a bit like two star cruisers passing in the night.
13. "The Real Her"
The track is your usual dark, distracted missive on the eternal recurrence loop of Drake's life: another night, another limo drive around town with a beautiful girl who exclusively dates famous rappers – such as Weezy and Andre, who add freestyle color. Weezy: "I don't want be in the blind but sometimes I Stevie Wonder about her." Um, Weez, psst: Stevie Wonder is on the album, so maybe not so much with the blind Stevie Wonder jokes. Andre is arresting, wrapping his molasses flow around the thick groove as he finds his girl, "sad as hell listening to Adele" and totally empathizes.
14. "Look What You've Done"
Drake hits the piano bar for a little nostalgic soul balladry that pours out thanks for the support for his mom, his aunt and even his estranged dad. He looks back at his pre-fame days when he "was just another kid in a drop top Lexus hopin' that I don't get arrested." It's a very nice song in the fine tradition of Pete Rock and CL Smooth's "T.R.O.Y. (They Reminisce Over You)." At the end his grandma comes on to thank him for keeping her living well in old age. Ah, Drake, sometimes it isn't all about you, and we love you for it.
15. HYFR (Hell Yeah Fuckin Right)
Drake opens the track with a whiplash verse or two before passing the mic for a Weezy showcase: he rhymes "hold her" and "closure" and raps "a met a female dragon had a fire conversation." Apparently, the phrase "hell yeah fuckin' right" is something they yell at journalists who ask questions like "how high they are?" and "do you they think the people around you are really your friend." In their defense, those are terrible questions. I would ask Weezy about the NBA lockout and ask Drake where the best place is to buy an obscenely overpriced candelabra.
16. "Practice"
A relatively thugged up track for Drake; his voice distorts as he sings about how down he is. The song is also a tribute to New Orleans hip-hop, with a reference to "Back That Azz Up." "Let me put something in your life," he quietly offers. It's one of the album's most tender romantic moments, recalling the openhearted smuttiness of his 2010 The-Dream collabo, "Shut It Down."
17. "The Ride"
The Weeknd are back for another luxurious, mysterious gripe about what the terrifying awesomeness of fame: from knowing strippers by their first names to fucking up the double cheek kiss at Fashion Week to having an unmanageably large entourage of Canadian hip-hop buddies. On the chorus, Drake tries to rationalize these complaints and after 17 tracks of twisting himself in pretzels of self-examination you kind of wish he'd just lighten up and light one up and enjoy the ride.

Palestine Herald-Press
Carol Ann Christie, 72, of Palestine and formerly of Houston, died Jan. 13, 2013, at Trinity Mother Frances Hospital in Tyler, Texas. A gathering and memorial celebration of her life will be held for family and friends of the family from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 18, at the family residence in Palestine. A graveside service will be at 2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 19, at Oakwood Cemetery in Waco, Texas, with the Rev. Jordan Byrd of the First Christian Church of Palestine officiating. Funeral arrangements are in the care of Wilkirson-Hatch-Bailey in Waco.
Mrs. Christie was born on Feb. 13, 1940, in Austin, Texas to the late Travis Mundell and Eileen Cassie (Snider) Mundell.
Her formative years were spent in Lindsay, Okla., and Houston. She attended Texas Women's University in Denton, Texas. On Sept. 3, 1960, she was joined in marriage with William Edmond Christie in Dallas.
Carol will be remembered for her sweet and gentle nature, her thoughtfulness towards others, her talents as a cook and her gift for gracious entertaining. Carol (or CiCi as she chose for her grandmother name) was a devoted mother, grandmother, loving and cherished wife.
Carol is survived by her husband of 52 years, Ed Christie; her son, Will Christie of Houston; her daughter and son-in-law, Dr. Relvert and Mary Anna Coe of Palestine; three grandchildren, twins, Madeleine Penland Coe and Sophie Christie Coe and Nicholas Edmond Coe; her brother-in-law, James Harvey Christie of Palestine; and brothers-and sisters-in-law, Alonzo Bee and Marie Louise Christie of Dallas, and George Penland and Ellen Christie of Galveston.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggest memorials be given to Susan G. Komen for the Cure (www.komen.org) to honor her as a 30-year survivor of breast cancer. The family invites you to leave a message or memory in our "Memorial Guestbook" at www.WilkirsonHatchBailey.com.

Hello all,
I've been reading the posts here and in other places about inductors and have a few more questions - hope I'm not repeating something that's been stated somewhere else...
I have a pair of Polk Monitor 7Bs which I have disassembled. My plan is to rebuild the crossovers, install rings, put some acoustic foam on the interior, and re-veneer the cabinets in real wood veneer. Should be pretty nice in the end, if I ever get there.
I was planning on replacing the caps and resistors on the crossover, after my initial research had shown that it's OK to leave inductors alone. Now I'm learning more that at least for the low-pass, it's worth looking at a new inductor if you get the right spec.
My questions are as follows:
1. What is the consensus on replacing the Polk monitor inductor which is wound around the binding post cup? Were these quality inductors to begin with? has anyone made a change and noted an improvement?
2. Do I need to match the DCR value for this inductor when getting a new one? I can't find DCR specs for these original inductors anywhere on the internet. For the low-pass is it OK to go with the lowest DCR I can afford granted I keep mh same as stock? There are several large-gauge inductors on Parts Express that match mh ratings with various DCR readings.
Many thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

No one was injured when a fire broke out Tuesday morning in the basement of a Carney-area home.
Firefighters arrived around 7 a.m. to find heavy smoke pouring from the home in the 9600 block of Harding Avenue, according to fire spokeswoman Louise Rogers-Feher.
Firefighters briefly searched for people inside the home but found no one. The spread of the blaze was quickly contained but firefighters needed two hours to put it out.
The number of people displaced by the fire was not available, Rogers-Feher said.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation Tuesday afternoon, she added.

January 5, 1983 - Approval for the city to pay for the repairs of four streets in the Scow Bay area has been given by the Petersburg City Council.
The council voted 5 – 1 to pay 100 percent of the cost of repairs for Hungerford Hill, Cornelius Road, Kings Row and Odin's Lane. City Manager Richard Underkofler asked the council to decide something Monday night about the roads in the area.
We have been talking about this since August. It's time to decide what to do," he said.
January 7, 1993 - The Petersburg General Hospital Board will invite public comments on a proposed medical clinic during an open hearing at 7:30 pm next Thursday in the hospital board room.
Being eyed is a $5,000,000 modular facility to be placed on the hospital's upper parking lot.
The hospital has had a temporary interior clinic since last June.
The purpose of the clinic would be to centralize local medical practice in one 3,025 square foot building with space for up to four practitioners. The board also hopes to attract a third permanent physician to town with the new modern facility, according to Hospital Administrator Gary Grandy.
January 2, 2003 - Crew members of the Coast Guard cutter Anacapa will have a little Viking strength under their feet from now on; they recently incorporated a Viking head, part of their ship's logo, into the design of the ship's deck. "Instead of doing the traditional stuff we did the Viking head both to tie us to the community, and represent us as the Anacapa" said crew member Danny Graves. "We want to identify with the town here, so when people come on board the boat when we're in different places especially, they'll say 'well, what's this about?' and we can say we're from Petersburg. We want to show our ties to the community, not just that we're Coast Guard people but we're actually part of Petersburg."

by Christopher J. Klicka, Esq.
The cause of homeschool freedom saw many victories in the 2003 legislative session! Home School Legal Defense Association's solidarity with homeschoolers throughout the 50 states, through our membership and our working relationships with state homeschool leaders, gave us a strong voice in the state legislatures. Without your faithful support and willingness to respond to our e-lerts, we could have made little impact last year.
Following is a brief summary of HSLDA's legislative activity and the trends we tracked in 2003.
Some states lift regulations
The cooperative efforts of HSLDA, state organizations, and homeschooling families eased restrictions in several states.
After working together with John Carey and Christian Home Educators of West Virginia for three years on this issue in the legislature, we were finally able to help enact a new law in 2003 eliminating the infamous four-year homeschool teacher qualification requirement. Parents in West Virginia may now teach their children with only a high school diploma or equivalent.
Until 2003, the four last "approval" states were Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Utah. In Maine last year, a completely new homeschool law was passed, ending the "approval" requirement and allowing homeschoolers in Maine to simply notify the local school board and the commissioner of education of their intent to homeschool. We worked closely with Ed and Kathy Green and Kathy Kearney of Homeschoolers of Maine to pass this bill. This is a tremendous step forward for Maine, and HSLDA looks forward to the day when the other three approval states will recognize parents' right to homeschool without state "permission."
In New York, HSLDA lobbied with Rich and Pam Stauter and other homeschoolers of Loving Education at Home to pass a law in the senate eliminating approximately 75% of current homeschool requirements. Although the session ended before the assembly could vote on this bill, we anticipate its passage in the 2004 session.
Oregon homeschoolers and the Oregon Christian Home Education Association Network also lobbied hard for a new homeschool law which passed both houses. The legislation would have repealed the notice and testing requirements of Oregon's homeschool law. Unfortunately, the governor vetoed the bill. But these committed parents are determined to try passing the bill again next year.
Some states try more regulation
Four states (Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, and Wyoming) attempted to pass testing bills that would have required homeschoolers to take the state assessment test. But homeschoolers quashed each bill by pointing to the new federal ban on making homeschoolers take such tests. Additionally, homeschoolers defeated anti-homeschool legislation in Michigan, New Jersey, and Wisconsin before it even left the starting gate. A barrage of phone calls halted a New Jersey measure, and conference calls to likely sponsors in Michigan and Wisconsin prevented hostile legislation from ever materializing.
Some states opt for more school
Several states, including New Hampshire, Texas, Florida, and Maine, tried to expand their compulsory attendance ages. Homeschoolers worked hard to defeat each measure, and as a result, not a single compulsory attendance bill passed!
Solutions on the federal level
Occasionally problems that crop up across the states can be more effectively addressed at the federal level. Several such solutions were reached last year.
The most important was amending the Keeping Children and Families Safe Act to protect innocent families who are investigated by social services. The act now requires all 50 states to train social workers in the 4th Amendment. In addition, social workers must inform families of the allegations against them. This is the most significant reform of the decade in social worker investigations! During the 2004 legislative session, we will focus on codifying these requirements at the state level.
Among the many other victories of 2003, HSLDA obtained a guidance letter from the United States Department of Education solving college discrimination problems and amended the Federal Student Aid handbook to allow homeschoolers to obtain federal financial aid for college.
We also added language to the "Head Start" bill that prohibits states from requiring 3- and 4-year-olds to attend school. The District of Columbia had tried to force young preschoolers into the public school system. This language will provide a tool to use against the legislative trend of lowering compulsory attendance ages.
Thanks to you!
HSLDA thanks all of the state homeschool organizations and homeschooling families who called, wrote, attended hearings, and lobbied state legislatures. These victories were made possible by thousands of dedicated homeschoolers who care about preserving and expanding our freedoms.
Together we are making a difference!

Frank Misiti, professor emeritus of education
Frank Misiti, professor emeritus of education
The contributions of Frank Misiti, Ph.D., cover a period of 38 years of service to the educational community, to local, regional, and national education agencies, and the teaching profession. Misiti's experience shows that throughout his career, he has excelled at effective teaching, scholarship, and service.
As a highly effective teacher, Misiti has made an impact on several generations of pre-teacher candidates in his courses. His classes had always been among the first to be filled, usually to capacity. He was awarded the Outstanding Teaching Award from the Pennsylvania State University College of Education Alumni Society for demonstrating excellence in the use of teaching methodologies, knowledge of subject matter, and ability to inspire students. He was invited by student athletes as a faculty guest to the Bloomsburg University Scholar-Athlete Banquet each year for over 15 years. He earned Honorable Mention in the Fourth Annual National Competition for Creative Ideas in Science Education sponsored by Science Activities. He won the Apples Award presented by the Bloomsburg University Chapter of Student PSEA (Pennsylvania State Education Association) for active participation promoting leadership through educational service.
At the same time, Misiti was a highly productive scholar and leader in the profession. As an example, early in his career, Misiti developed an attitude research instrument that continues to be used to assess middle-school-aged student attitudes towards science. He published many articles in various journals of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), among others. The NSTA is the largest and most respected science teacher association in the world. He has reviewed numerous science text books and has served as a consultant for several science studies. Additionally, his many conference presentations and publications, particularly with the NSTA, gave considerable publicity for Bloomsburg University on a national level.
Misiti has always believed that theory, research, and practice all are on a continuum; they all are part of a whole. His research informed his practice, and indeed his practice informed his research. His teaching followed his research and his practice, so that students learned from a master who "practiced what he preached."
Misiti's service, like his teaching and scholarship, was also distinguished. Although possible to list his many service contributions to the Department, the College, and the University, it is impossible to list the immeasurable impact he has made on each of the entities. He was devoted to his students, and did everything in his power to be certain they received the best education possible. This commitment led to his devotion to the many committees on which he served throughout his tenure in education. This commitment occurred within his hometown and community, at all levels within the University, and through his active participation in numerous state and national science boards and committees.

Most of New York City's one million public school students went back to class on Monday, a week after Sandy hit. Still dozens of school buildings were flooded, damaged, without power so their students had to relocate. Beth Fertig of member station WNYC visited one of those schools in its new location on Staten Island.

When Stephen Wheeler realized he had an aching, swollen finger, he called his primary care doctor, who works for MedStar Health. The doctor referred him to PromptCare, an urgent care clinic in a strip mall in the Baltimore suburbs.
Wheeler says he probably would have ended up waiting a long time if he'd gone to the doctor. And even longer at the emergency room.

A couple hundred years ago. hard apple cider used to be the drink of choice for thirsty Americans. It was easy to make and easy to find. But as people moved into cities, and beer became more popular, cider fell out of fashion.
Now it's come roaring back. U.S. hard cider sales are up 65 percent over last year, and just about all the big beer companies sell it, as well as many artisan brewers. Finding cider at your local bar is often no longer a problem.
Although voting problems in Tuesday's election were fewer than some people had expected, there were extremely long lines at many polling sites; so many that President Obama noted them in his victory speech.
"I want to thank every American who participated in this election, whether you voted for the very first time, or waited in line for a very long time," he said, adding, "by the way we have to fix that."

With the election over, attention in Washington has turned to the nation's debt and deficit challenges — most immediately the looming fiscal cliff. That's the $600 billion worth of expiring tax breaks and automatic spending cuts set to start taking effect Jan. 1.
The president and Congress agreed to those automatic measures to force themselves to find a more palatable compromise to rein in deficits. On Wednesday, there was an attempt to jump-start that process.
President Obama's re-election and the retention of a Democratic majority in the Senate means the likelihood of a repeal of the Affordable Care Act has receded.
So what now?
"The law is here and we should at this point expect it to still be here Jan. 1, 2014," says Alan Weil, executive director of the nonpartisan National Academy for State Health Policy.

Kenneth Gray also won the Toyota Parts Management Excellence Award.

Medication program
PLATTSBURGH — Excellus BlueCross BlueShield members who take brand-name medicines for pain, heartburn, gout, high blood pressure, overactive bladder and migraine headaches now have an added incentive to ask their doctor if a generic drug might be right for them.
This consists of a free initial 30-day supply of a generic option to try at no cost, plus lower copays going forward if they continue with the generic.
The health plan's Generic Trial Program had included 13 different generics in seven disease categories, accounting for about 41 percent of all prescriptions written for its members. Excellus BCBS now has expanded the program to 29 generic drugs covering 10 disease categories.
"Our program is an alternative to the free samples of heavily marketed drugs that pharmaceutical companies supply to doctors in hopes that patients become loyal users of the higher-cost brand," said Joel Owerbach, Excellus BCBS vice president and chief pharmacy officer.
A 30-day supply of an average brand-name prescription drug retails for $208, as opposed to $18 for an average generic.
Nearly all of Excellus BCBS' commercial benefit plans participate in the Generic Trial Program, which does not apply to Medicaid Managed Care, Family Health Plus or Child Health Plus. Members may ask about their particular plan by calling the Pharmacy Help Desk at (800) 724-5033.
More information regarding Excellus BCBS' Generic Trial Program, along with a library of information on savings opportunities with generics, is available at go.excellusbcbs.com/generics.
