Fall 1997
I am certainly sorry that I missed what
sounds like an excellent educational program and social event in
Minneapolis. As always it does appear that there was much �Networking�
of pathologists�some of it over cheese and beer. Despite all of the fun,
a lot of business was accomplished, moving the Society closer to the goals
established during the Long Range Planning Meeting only one year ago in
Houston. The raffle was very successful. A number of members have already
donated books for next year�s raffle, but let�s not limit it just to
text books and original art�use some imagination.
We are at a significant cross-roads with
the Society�s journal. I, and I am sure that others of you have received
a renewal notice from Taylor & Francis for their journal. Remember
that the SPP�s journal is Pediatric and Developmental Pathology,
published by Springer-Verlag, NY, and the subscription cost is included
with your Society membership. The first volume will be published in
January 1998.
Manuscripts should be sent to:
The interim meeting was from all reports a
great success, with excellent scientific presentations and very enjoyable
socializing. To Susan Simonton and her colleagues a �thank you� from
the Society.
The Council and Long Term Planning
Committee met in a new format prior to the meeting. We had a two hour
�early bird� session to update on the initiatives arising from the
Houston planning meeting. From this, issues went to the various committees
and then returned later in the day to Council for action. The process
worked so well that it was agreed to repeat this format at the interim
meetings in the future. The format also provided time for new issues to be
�brain stormed�, again a suggestion that was promoted at the planning
The Ad Hoc Committee initiatives are taking
form thanks to the work of the many involved. Membership was given the
mandate to put in place a plan to expand the membership, especially to
include pathologists who now must include an increasing amount of
pediatric pathology in their practice. Accordingly there will be a
mail-out to other societies� members with a letter from the president
outlining the scope of pediatric pathology and the advantages of
membership, an updated brochure of our Society with its many excellent
education activities and an application form. The brochure is being
revamped by the Publications Committee (incoming chair - Bev Rogers), and
the whole process is being put in place by the Membership Committee (chair
- Virginia Baldwin) with the assistance of President-elect Tom Stocker.
The brochure, with its attached application form will be available to you
and will be distributed at meetings, etc.
The Practice Committee (chair - David Zwick)
has moved very smartly to put in place a plan to formalize the Slide
Survey as a CME sanctioned procedure that also can be more broadly
applied. The Society is indebted to Bob Novak for operating the survey,
since 1994. Bob will return to the Practice Committee to lend his
The Extracurricular Education Ad Hoc
Committee (chair - Joe Rutledge) deliberations will be taken up by the
Education Committee (chair - Henry Krous) that will expand its membership
specifically to define and plan what additional events will occur.
Electronic communications for consultation
and education will continue to expand. Paul Dickman chaired the ad hoc
committee on this subject and has outlined the direction we should take.
These directions will be acted upon by the Publications Committee. To
facilitate the process the Publications Committee will undertake to
formalize the editorship for electronic telecommunications.
Fellowship education in pediatric pathology
in the USA and Canada continues to be a matter of our concern because of
activities by the American Board of Pathology and the accrediting bodies
in the USA and Canada. Two issues at least demand our immediate attention.
The length of the fellowship program (one or two years) needs to be
addressed. Some of us favor the two year program within which there is
attention to research; some expect a one year program will suffice. Our
Society has had considerable input into fellowship programs and their
curricula and we expect to again have a strong voice. In addition,
accreditation of fellowship programs is an issue. There needs to be
bilateral, USA-Canada acceptance of each others' programs by the
accrediting bodies of both nations. Many of us, including myself, have
benefited significantly from being educated in pediatric pathology in both
countries. To deal with these two very important matters a Fellowship Ad
Hoc Committee has been established (actually re-established) and will be
chaired by Joe Rutledge. He will be assisted by members who were initially
involved in the fellowship and curriculum issues and there will be members
from both USA and Canada.
I continue to be impressed by the existing
and growing world presence of pediatric pathology. At the recent
Australian Pathology meeting in Singapore a full day of the four day
meeting was dedicated to pediatric pathology (organized by Dr. T. Bourne
of Adelaide), and was well attended by pathologists from Singapore,
Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Australia. A symposium on
metabolic disease was followed by a slide seminar. Equally impressive is
the very new Women�s and Children�s 800 bed hospital in Singapore,
where they have had sufficient concern for the unique medical requirements
of this segment of the population to aggregate their pediatric and
women�s care beds and clinics in one institution. The Head of Pathology
is Dr. H-K Ang, an SPP member. She has a large and busy department.
The Spring meeting in Boston will feature
among other presentations and good short courses, a symposium on molecular
pathology that promises to be very interesting for its basic and practical
Remember the arrival of our new journal is
imminent. Your contributions are important for its success.

The first raffle to raise money for the
endowment fund for the Young Investigator Award was very successful
(raising over $1,800) and was also great fun - a least for the winners and
those of us collecting the money. We want to thank again the member donors
of books (Cheryl Coffin, Enid Gilbert-Barness, Hart Isaacs, David Parham)
and art (Art Weinberg). Their generosity was deeply appreciated and
allowed all the money collected to go directly into the fund. (There were
no administrative expenses). A last minute gift of an Atlas of Artifacts
donated by a friendly publisher�s rep was a welcome addition to the
prizes. The 6 winners were - Gloria Kohut, Glenn Taylor, Bruce Beckwith,
Henry Krous, Ed Ballard, and Cindy Kaplan.
A number of people indicated that they
would like to have another raffle (Raffle II) at the next interim meeting
in Toronto. In addition a couple of people have already offered to donate
prizes. But, a couple is not enough. Soooo, if there is anyone out there
who has written or collected a book (scientific or otherwise), painted a
picture, crafted a craft, etc. who would be willing to donate it for a
prize for Raffle II, please notify one of the members of the subcommittee
for raising money for the Young Investigator Award endowment fund (John
Buchino, Susan Simonton, Edith Hawkins). This year, all the winners got a
real bargain, and the rest of us had a good time and went home with a warm
fuzzy feeling that we had, at least, contributed to a good cause.

While the �bells and whistles� of the
molecular genetic revolution are fascinating the practical questions are
frequently left out of the discussion. With this symposium, we hope to
answer questions pediatric pathologists and clinical laboratory scientists
encounter in their day-to-day activities, with an emphasis on where
molecular diagnostics would be valuable and how to get the testing you
need. Examples would include: How do you obtain genetic testing on
macerated fetuses and when is it cost effective to do so? When faced with
an undifferentiated small cell tumor what tests, if any, should you do to
determine the diagnosis? When do you really need the PCR to diagnose
pediatric infectious diseases vs. other techniques? There will also be an
introductory discussion about molecular diagnostic techniques to establish
a glossary of terms and methods to which the audience can refer.

On October 18th the Society for Pediatric
Pathology lost one of its finest members, Dr. Stephen A. Heifetz, to lung
cancer. The speed at which it advanced was tremendous. He likened it to a
�juggernaut,� having only been diagnosed on September 26th. There was
too little time for him to contact all the people that he would have liked
to contact, and the extensive pulmonary lymphatic spread made talking on
the phone very difficult. He did appreciate all the cards and well wishes
that he received. Although a very stressful task, I was happy he asked me
to make phone calls for him and to inform him of the replies and read the
messages received. It was very moving to know that he made a true impact
on the lives of so many. Nothing could be a greater legacy. His life was
full, and he was brillant to the end.
Steve�s life journey began in Brooklyn,
New York where his boundless energy, endless curiosity and thirst for
knowledge was revealed. His mother and father taught him the importance of
education, tradition, patience and humility. He graduated from Bronx High
School of Science at age 16 and entered Swarthmore College where he
graduated from in 1967 with a Bachelor of Arts in Zoology. During this
time in college his interests broadened to include history, literature and
the theater arts. Although he had thoughts of pursuing an acting career,
medicine seemed the logical choice and he graduated from State University
of New York, Downstate Medical Center in 1971. During medical school he
married Phebe Wheeler, and together they were blessed with Jennifer Ruth
in 1970 and Joshua Barnett in 1972. With a known interest in pediatric
pathology, Steven did an internship in pediatrics, a short residency in
obstetrics and gynecology and then completed a residency in anatomical and
clinical pathology. This combination of training gave him an ideal
background for a distinguished career in pediatric pathology.
After completing his residency in 1977 he
was appointed chief, Department of Pathology at U.S. Army Hospitals in
Nuremberg, Germany. His next assignment was Chairman of the Department of
Pediatric Pathology at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. While in
Maryland he met Issac Bateman, his life partner for 18 years. Together
with son Joshua, they moved to Nova Scotia where Steve was Associate
Director of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Grace
Maternity Hospital and the Isaak Walton Killam Hospital for Children in
Halifax from 1985 to 1988. In October of 1988, Steve became the Director
of Pediatric Pathology at J. W. Riley Hospital for Children in
Indianapolis where he supervised renovation of the pediatric surgical
pathology laboratory that by his guidance contains an extraordinary
pediatric pathology library which will be names after him.
Throughout his professional career he
dedicated many hours to hospital, regional and national committees. He was
nationally known for his expertise in placental pathology and childhood
germ cell tumors. He was a founding member of the Mid-America Placental
Study Group and held many committee seats in the Children�s Cancer Study
Group, in additional to being the pathology reviewer for germ cell tumors.
Locally he was involved with the Indianapolis Campaign for Healthy Babies,
Marion County Fetal and Infant Mortiality Review, Indiana State SIDS Task
Force and Marion County SIDS Parental Support Group. His ability to
communicate both by the written and the spoken word was one of his
greatest talents, which is shown by his numerous papers, presentations and
membership on editorial boards and journal review panels. He gave so much
of himself in each task that he undertook. His methodical and thorough
approach yielded quality and his creativity and appreciation for the
dramatic added flair to his product. He had a passion for life and lived
it with such vigor that his energy became contagious not only in his
professional like, in the teaching of residents, but also in his personal
life. His love for family, art, music, theater and acting, stamps,
photography and gardening were pursued in the same single mindedness for
uncompromised quality. Last winter, he garnered rave reviews for his role
of the Jewish father in a local play, �The Destiny of Me.� Although
very giving of his talents, he was a very private person and let very few
people into his wonderfully brilliant soul. To those who loved him, he
will be forever missed, but having had their lives touched by his spirit
he will live on.
Steve wanted a Children�s Cancer Research
Fund set up in his name at J.W. Riley Hospital for Children.
Contribution�s can be made through The Riley Memorial Association, Riley
Hospital for Children, 702 Barnhill Drive, Indianapolis, IN 46202, (317)
We hope to have a plaque dedicated to him
in the new Cancer Research Building, for his future grandchildren to
visit. In addition, we are dedicating the Division of Pediatric
Pathology�s library to him and placing his name upon a brick on the
�Riley Wall, � which honors individuals and groups that have helped
make Riley Hospital fulfill its mission to help Indiana�s children and
families in their time of suffering.
Dr. Jorge Las Heras, Founder
As you probably know, in a new European
Journal (Annals of Diagnostic Paediatric Pathology) they published a one
page announcement of the International Placental Pathology Group. I also
have similar publications in Latin American journals. So far we have 68
members and I am sure that we will reach about a hundred people before the
end of the year. I still have to work the page in the web but I promise
you to have it before the Boston meeting.
We currently plan to have the next meeting
on Friday, February 27, 1998. Tentative time is 7:30-10:00. Suggestions
for a short Symposium of 2-3 speakers are being solicited. One suggestion
is the Placental Pathology of Intrauterine Growth Retardation. This will
be followed by a short Business Meeting, that may be followed by some type
of informal social event. The latter depends upon receiving some monetary
donation. Interested individuals, especially those who know where we might
find some financial support please contact: Dr. Jorge Las Heras Bonetto,

M/V Ushuaia Off the Rocks
Five days after it ran aground off the Antarctic Peninsula, the tourist ship M/V Ushuaia was pulled off the rocks this morning, by tugboat. Damage to the ship is still being assessed. The ship will stay in the area, in a protected bay along the Peninsula, until it is decided whether it is able to return to Argentina under its own power, if it is in good enough condition to be towed, or if it may need to be repaired here in Antarctica before sailing. What is still not known is how much fuel oil or lubricant was spilled at the site of the grounding.

Cheltenham Town: Blue is still the colour for evergreen wing ace Walker
Posted: November 28, 2012|
CLIVE Walker is still working full-time for the club at which he enjoyed the best years of his long career.
The wing wizard now works full-time for Chelsea TV, a subscription channel dedicated to the current European Champions and FA Cup holders.
Now 55, Walker is an expert pundit, sharing his thoughts on events at Stamford Bridge, where he was a popular player between 1976 and 1984.
Having started his playing days in West London, Walker finally hung up his boots at the age of 42 after 18 months at Cheltenham Town.
He was part of the Robins team that won the FA Trophy, beating Southport 1-0 at Wembley in 1998 before finishing top of the non-League pile a year later to clinch promotion to the Football League.
During his time at Whaddon Road, Walker became the first player to score 100 goals in both League and non-League football and, fittingly, he signed off with a goal in Cheltenham's last match as a part-time club: a 3-0 Gloucestershire Senior Cup win at Gloucester City.
He then called time on his 23-year career and he admitted he was unsure what to do next.
"We won the Conference and I retired at 42 years old and I was a bit of a loss to be honest," Walker said.
"I didn't do a lot to start with and flitted about a bit, running soccer schools and that sort of thing.
"But I then started doing commentary for BBC Radio London and enjoyed that, so I decided to continue down the media route. I now cover all of Chelsea's games for the TV station and also appear on shows during the week.
"It's fantastic to still be involved and I am very fortunate and grateful to have had two careers in football."
Before Steve Cotterill brought him to Cheltenham in November 1997, Walker had spent a brief time as assistant manager at Brentford.
Although his coaching career was fleeting, he thoroughly enjoyed it and continued to apply for jobs after leaving Cheltenham.
"I didn't know which direction my career was going to go at that time," Walker said.
"I enjoyed my time at Brentford but then I put my boots back on for Cheltenham.
"I knew that wasn't going to be forever and I applied for jobs to stay involved, but the media work started and I ended up in that role."
Still as fit as a fiddle at 42, Walker went on to play for the Chelsea Masters team for eight years. He still appears for Chelsea Veterans.
Walker puts the freakish longevity of career down to luck with injuries and a genuine love for the game.
"I had the odd injury, but nothing serious that slowed me down," he said.
"I always had a passion for football and a drive and desire to keep going.
"After leaving the professional game I had four great years at Woking and my 18 months at Cheltenham was fabulous too.
"We had a smashing team under Steve Cotterill and times like that when we won the Trophy and the Conference are why you play football."
Of his time with the Robins, two matches stand out.
"It was lovely to play at Wembley for Cheltenham after going there with Woking three times and I'll never forget the celebrations afterwards," he said. "But I also remember going on as a substitute at home to Tiverton in one of my first games.
"I hadn't played since the May and it was November, so I was trying to get myself fit at 40 years of age and it was a massive moment for me.
"I went on and managed to get the goal that took us through to the second round."
Cheltenham went on to beat Boreham Wood to set up a third round tie against Reading, who they took to a replay.
Walker scored to make it 1-1 after Trevor Morley had given Reading the lead, but Martyn Booty's late goal took the Division One (now Championship) club through.

For Immediate Release
Contact:Deborah Gilleran
Connect-ED Implemented to Keep Students Safe and Informed at All Times
Lakewood, N.J., Oct. 10, 2007—Georgian Court University announced it has selected the multimodal communication service Connect-ED from the NTI Group Inc. The university recently implemented the service to provide campus leaders and security professionals the ability to reach all students with time-sensitive information during the unforeseen events or emergencies, within minutes, through a single phone call.
"Today we are forced to prepare for situations that we never could have anticipated happening and recognize the important role that immediate communication plays in keeping students safe," said Barbara Gliwa, university vice president for finance and administration. "We have selected Connect-ED because of its successful track record and multimodal capabilities that will allow us to keep students, parents, and staff informed at all times."
The Connect-ED service enables campus leaders to schedule, send, and track personalized voice messages to up to six phone numbers per person, and immediately sends messages via four different modes of communication:
--voice messages to home, work, and cell phones
--text messages to cell phones, PDAs, and other text-based devices
--written messages to e-mail accounts
--messages to TTY/TDD-receiving devices for the hearing impaired
"Notifying appropriate parties immediately is crucial in emergency situations, such as a severe storm, tornado, or campus closure, because it helps minimize the spread of misinformation, restore order and provide detailed instructions," said Ms. Gliwa. "It is essential for students to enter all of their contact information into the Connect-Ed database.

Toronto, ON – The Ontario Hockey League today announced that forward Dane Fox of the Erie Otters is the OHL Player of the Week for the week ending December 1 after scoring six goals and two assists for eight points in three games with a plus-minus rating of plus-5.
Fox recorded three multi-point performances helping the Otters win all three games last week moving them into sole possession of first place in the OHL standings with a 23-4-1-0 record. On Thursday night the Otters picked up a huge 6-4 win over Midwest Division rivals the second place Guelph Storm with Fox scoring two goals as second star of the 6-4 victory. The Otters finished the week with back-to-back wins over the Mississauga Steelheads beginning Friday night on the road where Fox recorded his first hat-trick of the season and second of his career which included his league-best 30th goal of the season as first star of the 6-0 win. Fox earned third star honours at home on Saturday with a goal and two assists as third star of the 7-1 win over the Steelheads.
Fox, a 20-year-old from Thamesville, ON, is playing in his fifth OHL season and second full campaign with the Otters. He currently ranks second in OHL scoring behind teammate Connor Brown with 54 points in 28 games including a career-high 31 goals along with 23 assists. His 54 points equals his career-high set in 2011-12 in 62 games split between the Otters and the London Knights where he began his career.
Fellow Otter and Washington Capitals prospect Andre Burakovsky also produced eight points in three games scoring three goals and five assists, while 2014 NHL Draft prospect Spencer Watson of the Kingston Frontenacs was also considered for the award after scoring four goals and two assists for six points in three games. In goal, the Fronts' Matt Mahalak won two starts with a shutout victory posting a goals-against-average of 0.50 and save percentage of .982.

iMovie for iPhone 4 - app review
iMovie for iPhone 4 is a video editing application designed by Apple. iMovie is also the name of the video editing software included in iLife, which is bundled with every Mac. iMovie is only available for iPhone 4. (Don't be sad, it needs the extra RAM and Apple A4 processing power).
As with most Apple products, iMovie is very easy to use and is fairly intuitive. If a tap doesn't do what you want, a double tap will. iMovie can be used in either portrait or landscape, but landscape seems more natural for me.
While in editing mode, the top center of the screen shows your movies, the bottom of the screen has the timeline, and the sides of the screen have options: projects, upload media, upload media directly from camera, and play. When choosing media to add to your project, there are three tabs: video, photos, and music. Videos are listed in reverse chronological order, but photos are listed in chronological order. I find this annoying because it's very likely that the photo I want to choose was recently taken and scrolling through hundreds a photos every time gets tedious. Not to mention, scrolling through photos is very laggy. This needs to be fixed.
Editing your movie is a breeze. You can drag clips around, trim the edges of clips, add titles, quickly switch between themes, and make minor edits to transitions. If there is a clip or photo you want to remove, just drag it off the timeline. There is one thing I want to mention about titles, however. They are very nice, but you cannot edit their length. Titles are automatically the same length as the clip you have the title attached to. Another simple feature that is missing is the ability to add plain text against a colored background.
Although there are a few little things missing from iMovie, I found it to be an excellent and quick way to edit a video. This is the first release of this app and I look forward to the changes that Apple may bring to it in the future. For only $4.99, iMovie is worth every penny.
Video and screenshots after the break! (To see a completed movie that was created with iMovie, check out my quick review of the iPhone 4's camera)
- Very easy to use
- Comes with 5 themes: Modern, Bright, Travel, Playful, News
- Can add your own music or chose from Apple's theme music
- Export as, medium (360p), large (540p), or HD (720p)
- Titles last the entire duration of clip, with no option to set the length.
- Cannot add more than one audio track
- Cannot split clips
- Must pan over images. Cannot have entire photo displayed in video.
- Searching through photo library has major lag
- Photos are listed in chronological order instead of reverse chronological order
- Cannot add a text slide
[$4.99 - iTunes link]

iMovie for iPhone 4 - app review
ok so what you're saying is that we won't be able to make high quality, sophisticated movies like we can on PC/MAC machines. Big deal--last I need is to stare at small screen to make a major motion picture.
Of course you can't make high quality, sophisticated movies like you can on PC/MAC machines. I don't think anyone was expecting to be able to make a "major motion picture" with a phone. But iMovie is a quick, easy, convenient way to make rather nicely edited videos. Sure, there's some limitation, but it's still pretty darn good. Not to mention, it's only $5. More sophisticated software for desktops are much more costly.
You did a great job and I just bought imovie for my new iphone. This will be a great app to send short clips to my family in Indiana. If I need to make longer ones, I will just use my camcorder and burn it to a CD to mail to them. But this looks like a fun app that will get lots of use from me.
It's a great start; especially being able to output 720p HD. And as Steve mentioned in his keynote, music can be imported from your iTunes library. Something that I can't do with ReelDirector. Also ReelDirector does not output to 720p -- yet, so that means I'll be using iMovie for iPhone moving foward. Reel's app has more choices in transitions and with Ken Burns effects. For example, I can pinch a photo down to Start, then have it slowly come to full size at End, along with more movement than what seems possible with iMovie.
Now my only other wish is for Apple's Aperture team to release a simplified version of Aperture for iPhone, allowing me to non-destructively adjust exposure, sharpen, raise black level, vignette, etc., on images taken with my iPhone 4 before importing them into iMovie for iPhone. I know other vendors have similar apps, but I want Aperture for iPhone. Come on Apple, I'd happily pay $5 for that app too!
It's insufficient to requirement.
In this case, my requirement was to polish a 1 minute video of a baby.
- There's either title all the time, or none at all.
- I tossed a picture in the front instead, intending to put the title on it. Sorry, you can't put a title on a picture.
- There's just a few seconds at the start I'd rather remove, where we're still talking about what she's doing instead of recording it. Nope, no editing the clip here.
- If you could edit the clip, you could split it and put the title just on one piece. No such luck.
This is pretty basic stuff for a movie editing App. I feel like I wasted five bucks. The only consolation is what Glaw has to say: "it WILL be updated people relax." It probably will. I hope.
I too thought that the title was in for the whole clip...but I found a fairly easy work around.
I had a 1 minute 30 second clip that I wanted to have a beginning and ending title. To do this I added my clip, trimmed it down to ~10 seconds and added the title. Then I added the clip again, and trimmed out the first 10 seconds. Then I added the clip a third time and trimmed out the first 1 minute 20 seconds and added the ending title.
Added some music and trimmed a few seconds off of the end so that the clip ends at a OK spot in the music. Rendered @ 720p. Whole process about 10 minutes (most spent rendering).
Result: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMKsB_W7OV8 (no audio since I guess I used a copyrighted song, and youtube looks to be processing for HD)
UPDATE -- redid the video upload at you tube..disregard previous link. This is valid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE_hL9cslfg
Thanks for your tutorial. I learned a few things. Should have watched it before trying to make the movie...it would have saved me some time. I have a question for you. My video is longer than my song. So partway through the video, the music just stops. Is there anyway to repeat the song in the movie to keep music playing throughout?
Thanks, in advance, for your help~
I don't have a Mac. Can the app be used on my Windows PC or do I have to do all the manipulating on my iPhone 4? I have just returned from a trip with 20 or so short videos on my phone and I want to string together and edit down. Is that a reasonable, not too time-consuming project to do on the phone?
fantastic points altogether, you just gained a brand new reader. What would you suggest about your post that you made some days ago? Any positive?

In a battle dating back to the stone age, two of hip hop's leading ladies (Foxy Brown and Lil' Kim) still harbor ill feelings toward each other and not even fellow Brooklyn rapper Fabolous could squash the beef between the two prehistoric femcees.
Long story short Fabolous had plans on reuniting Thelma and Louise on this year's Summer Jam stage but amid various stunts, shade, and backstage shenanigans the reunion didn't quite come into fruition. Fast forward to this week when Foxy sat down with Sway of MTV's Rapfix Live to reveal her side of the fauxtale and clear up any rumors regarding her not kissing and making up with her arch rival Lil' Kim.
Foxy explains to Sway: "It's a touchy situation because I have a lot of respect for Fab, but let's just say that it wasn't orchestrated properly and when you have something of that magnitude — I understand the epic-ness of [having] the biggest female rappers to change the game come together and touch mics — some part of that has to feel real."
Foxy goes into detail about performing at Summer Jam and squashing her beef with Kim in the interview. (see below after the jump)
Let me just say these two chicks have been carrying around this senseless beef and the time to move on is now. Neither has nothing to lose with plenty to gain also with Hip Hop becoming the Nicki Minaj show as it refers to female rappers a truce between Foxy and Kim would definitely ignite the rap game on its axis. But what the hell do I know?

This is the blog and website for Anne F. Hoff, a Certified Advanced Rolfer and advanced practitioner of craniosacral and visceral work. I see clients in Seattle and Port Orchard, WA. If you are interested in sessions, you can learn more about my practice by reading the Services page.
I call my work "Whole-Body Integration" because I combine Rolfing® structural integration with craniosacral and visceral work. This gives the potential to create profound and lasting change through all layers of body structure, not just the musculoskeletal system. Often the key to patterns is in the deeper cranial and visceral layers, so issues that won't resolve with Rolfing alone can be sorted out with the addition of these other modalities.
I love my work and am constantly fascinated by the intricacy of the human body and the process of transformation. I also am passionate about networking and sharing information and resources. If you are curious about how your body works structurally, why you have pain or poor posture, what unites body-mind-spirit, who to go to for help with your body issues, and where to find information resources, I hope that these posts and pages will be useful guides on your journey of embodiment.

Anderson Garners Big 12 Preseason Honors
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – WVU outside hitter Jordan Anderson garnered league accolades with a spot on the Big 12 Preseason Team as the Mountaineers opened their 2014 preseason camp Thursday at the WVU Coliseum.
The sophomore from Flower Mound, Texas, is coming off a stellar freshman campaign in which she led the team in kills (394) and kills per set (3.94), and was third on the team in digs (256), digs per set (2.56) and aces (19). In addition, she finished second in the Big 12 in kills per set and ranked in the top 50 in the nation in kills per set and was fifth among all NCAA freshmen in that category. She is the first-ever WVU volleyball player to earn Big 12 preseason honors.
"It's always nice to see any member of our team be recognized by the coaches in the Big 12. Jordan has come back in great shape and works hard each day to improve," said head coach Jill Kramer. "She had a tremendous freshman year and scored a lot of points for us - we'd love to have that kind of production out of her again. She has a great group of teammates around her that all help one another to rise to the occasion. Our team is excited to get back out there and compete together."
Anderson was a three-time Big 12 Rookie of the Week in 2013 before earning All-Big 12 Honorable Mention and Big 12 All-Freshman Team accolades at the conclusion of the season. She also earned AVCA All-Midwest Region Honorable Mention, marking the first time a Mountaineer has received the award since 1988.
Reigning Big 12 Player of the Year Haley Eckerman of Texas was voted the Big 12 Volleyball Preseason Player of the Year, while Ainise Havili of Kansas was selected as the Preseason Freshman of the Year. Players were selected by the leagues' coaches, who were not allowed to vote for their own players. ?
The Mountaineers began the 2014 preseason with a full day of team activities at the WVU Coliseum. Prior to their evening practice, Kramer and select members of the team met with the media.
"It's a lot of newness, even though they've been in the gym a lot this summer. I think you add a coaching staff to that, and it changes some things," said Kramer. "It's the first time they've been in the gym with us, and most players want to please their coach. We don't give a whole lot of feedback that first session. We just kind of make sure we're getting our feet wet and go from there."
The Mountaineers will close out preseason play with the annual Gold-Blue scrimmage on Aug. 23 at 4 p.m. at the WVU Coliseum. The squad opens the season Friday, Aug. 29, when its hosts BYU at 7 p.m. as part of the Gold & Blue Players Challenge.

Louis Vuitton Leather Travel Bag
For one block you'11 need one set of 10 red print triangles, one set of 10 light print triangles, and six light print squares. Referring to Cut and Assemble the Wheel of Fortune Blocks on page 38, Step 1. use the cream print and red stripe A pieces to make a swirl circle. The Nine-Patch unit should measure 6" square, including the seam allowances. Louis Vuitton Leather Travel Bag. It is a good idea to make this part slightly smaller, as it will then fit better inside the slipper and not curl up so easily. Cotton fabric minimizes seam distortion, presses crisply, and is easy to quilt. Repeat with the remaining blocks and muslin square. Louis Vuitton Leather Travel Bag.

A router table consisting of a table top formed by two slabs separated by a gap, a raised fence at an end of the table intersected by the gap and bridging the gap, a carriage mounted in the gap for movement toward and from the fence, a router mounted beneath the carriage and including a router bit projecting above the table, the fence being windowed to permit said router bit to pass the plane of the fence if desired in order that the bit may be used to plane the edge of a work piece guided across the table by the fence, the fence being formed of relatively movable sections wich may be offset transversely of the normal fence plane to compensate for any thickness of the work piece edge cut away by the bit, or to close the window when its use is not desired.
1. A router table comprising:
a. a table having a planar top surface and comprising a pair of coplanar slabs spaced apart to present a parallel-sided gap therebetween,
b. a fence disposed along one edge of said table and rising above the top surface thereof whereby a work piece may be guided thereby in a straight line across said table top, the gap between said slabs being disposed at right angles to said fence,
c. a carriage having its upper surface coplanar with said slabs mounted slidably between said slabs for movement in said gap at right angles to said fence, and
d. a router including a drive unit and a router bit rotatable on a vertical axis, said router drive unit being mounted beneath said carriage and said router bit projecting upwardly through an aperture of said carriage not larger than required to permit free rotation of the bit, the top surface of said carriage extending substantial distances in all directions from said bit aperture to provide solid support for the work piece in the area surrounding said bit.
2. A router table as recited in claim 2 with the addition of a filler plate carried slidably by said table slabs, said filler plate bridging the gap between said slabs and being slidable in a direction at right angles to said fence, said filler plate having an aperture formed therein elongated in a direction at right angles to the fence, and also having transversely uninterrupted portions at the ends of said aperture, said carriage extending upwardly through said aperture to be flush with the filler plate and table slabs, said filler plate and carriage being relatively movable at right angles to the fence, whereby a transversely uninterrupted portion of the filler plate may be disposed directly adjacent said fence, to provide solid support for the work piece, at any position of said carriage relative to said fence.
3. A router table as recited in claim 2 wherein said fence is notched upwardly from its lower edge to permit both said carriage and said filler plate to be extended therethrough, whereby said router bit may be disposed closely adjacent said fence.
4. A router table as recited in claim 2 wherein the horizontal extent to which said router may be moved at right angles to said fence is sufficiently great that said router bit may be moved through the plane of said fence, said fence having a window formed therethrough to permit said bit to do so, whereby said router bit may be utilized to plane or shape the edge of the work piece being guided against said fence.
5. A router table as recited in claim 4 with the addition of means operable to selectively cover or uncover said fence window, depending on whether its use is or is not desired in any given operation.
6. A router table as recited in claim 4 wherein the portion of said fence at the trailing side of said bit is adjustably movable outwardly over the table surface, whereby to compensate for any thickness of the work piece edge removed by said bit and provide for accurate guidance of the work piece at both sides of the router bit.
7. A router table as recited in claim 6 wherein said fence comprises a section at the leading side of the router bit and a section at the trailing side of the bit, the leading and trailing sections being relatively movable transversely to the vertical plane of the fence from a position in which they are coplanar to a position in which the trailing fence section is spaced inwardly over the table relative to the leading section, whereby to compensate for any thickness of the work piece edge removed by said bit.
8. A router table as recited in claim 7 wherein said window is formed in one of said fence members adjacent its juncture with the other of said members, and wherein said fence members are also relatively movable in a direction parallel to said fence, whereby one of said fence members selectively covers or uncovers the window opening of the other.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in power driven wookworking tools, and has particular reference to a table having a router mounted therebeneath with its bit projecting above the table surface to shape wood work pieces guided over the table surface.
One object of the present invention is the provision of a device of the general character described which is provided with a raised, spatially fixed fence disposed at one end of the table for guiding work pieces thereover, and the provision of means whereby the routing tool, though spatially fixed relative to the table in actual use, may nevertheless be adjustably moved along the full length of the table, and hence to any desired spacing from the fence, whereby the tool may be set to shape the work piece at any desired distance from the edge thereof guided by the fence. As compared to an arrangement in which the tool is always spatially fixed relative to the table and the fence is adjustably movable over the table to be disposed at a desired distance from the tool, this arrangement permits full utilization of the entire table area at all times, and hence permits the shaping of larger work pieces thereon.
Another object is the provision of a device of the character described having means providing that despite the horizontal adjustability of the routing tool relative to the fence, the table surface remains substantially uninterrupted, especially for a substantial area around the tool bit itself and adjacent the fence. This continuity of the table surface is necessary to the proper support of the work piece to insure efficient operation of the tool.
A further object is the provision of a device of the character described in which the routing bit may be moved adjustably beyond the end of the table at which the fence is mounted, the fence being provided with a window through which the tool may be moved. This permits use of the routing tool bit, or other tools mountable in its place to be used to plane or otherwise shape the edge of the work piece being guided by the fence, as well as for routing operations at substantial distances from the fence.
A still further object is the provision of a special fence to be used when the window described above is desired. The special fence is provided with a movable element capable of covering and closing the window when use of the latter is not desired, and also being movable inwardly over the table at the trailing side of the tool bit, in order that it may still guide the work piece accurately at said trailing side, compensating for the fact that the tool bit may have removed a variable thickness of wood from the work piece.
Other objects are simplicity and economy of construction, and efficiency and dependability of operation.
With these objects in view, as well as other objects which will appear in the course of the specification, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a router table embodying the present invention,
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary front elevational view of the table as shown in FIG. 1,
FIG. 3 is an enlarged, fragmentary sectional view taken on line III--III of FIG. 1,
FIG. 4 is an enlarged, fragmentary sectional view taken on line IV--IV of FIG. 1,
FIG. 5 is an enlarged, fragmentary sectional view taken on line V--V of FIG. 1,
FIG. 6 is a view generally similar to FIG. 5, but showing the router tool bit adjusted to plane the edge of a work piece guided by the fence,
FIG. 7 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on line VII--VII of FIG. 6,
FIG. 8 is an enlarged, fragmentary sectional view taken on line VIII--VIII of FIG. 1, with parts broken away, and
FIG. 9 is an enlarged, fragmentary view similar to the central portion of FIG. 2, but with the gauge member omitted and with additional elements broken away.
Like reference numerals apply to similar parts throughout the several views, and the numeral 2 applies generally to the base structure of the table forming the subject matter of the present invention. Said base structure, as shown, is formed of square tubular stock and is of one-piece integral structure, including a vertical front frame 4 disposed in a plane transverse to the table adjacent its forward edge, and a similar rear frame 6 disposed in forwardly spaced relation from the rearward edge of the table. Each of frames 4 and 6 comprises an upwardly opening U-formation supported by a pair of legs 8 which may be of any desired length, and a pair of horizontal arms 10 and 12 extending respectively to the left and to the right of the upper ends of the U-formation. Frames 4 and 6 are connected rigidly by a pair of forwardly and rearwardly extending horizontal bars 14, as indicated in FIG. 2.
The table top is formed partially by a pair of planar horizontal slabs 16 and 18, the major dimensions of which extend forwardly and rearwardly of the table. Left slab 16 is permanently and rigidly affixed by brackets 20 to the horizontal arms 10 of base frames 4 and 6, and right slab 18 is permanently and rigidly affixed by brackets 22 to the right arms 12 of base frames 4 and 6. The slabs 16 and 18 are spaced apart transversely of the table to define a parallel-sided gap 24 therebetween, said gap extending the full length of the table, and being centered over the U-formations of the base frames 4 and 6. Said gap is bridged at all times by a filler plate 28 of rectangular form, being somewhat longer than table top slabs 16 and 18, and having its side edge portions resting slidably in depressed ledges 26 cut into the upper surfaces of the slabs at their confronting edges, so that the upper surfaces of the slabs and filler plate are coplanar. The filler plate may thus be moved slidably forwardly or rearwardly relative to the table, and may project from either the forward or rearward edge of the table, or both, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5. Formed in the filler plate is a rectangular opening 30 of substantial length and width.
Also disposed slidably in and spanning the parallel-sided gap 24 of the table top is a router carriage 32, of shorter length than the filler plate, and constituting a horizontal plate, having its longitudinal edge portions turned down and fitted with longitudinally extending ribs engaged slidably in matching grooves formed in the confronting edges of table slabs 16 and 18, whereby to form tongue-and-groove connections 34. Said carriage may at certain positions in its longitudinal sliding movement, project outwardly from either the forward or rearward edge of the table. The upper surface of the carriage plate is disposed flush against the lower surface of filler plate 28, and a plate 36 affixed to the upper surface of the carriage plate projects upwardly through opening 30 of the filler plate to lie flush with the upper surface of said filler plate. The filler plate may be moved longitudinally with respect to the carriage and its plate 36, with the side walls of filler plate opening 30 moving in sliding engagement with the side edges of plate 36.
A rotatable router tool bit 38 is disposed within a circular aperture 40 formed centrally through the top of carriage 32 and its plate 36. The bit is rotatable on a vertical axis, its depending stem 42, (see FIG. 9) being gripped releasably in a chuck 44 fixed on the vertical output shaft 46 of a power drive unit 48 including an electric motor 50 to which electric power is furnished by a flexible cable 52, and a housing 54 which is threaded coaxially with output shaft 46. Said housing is threaded in a horizontally disposed ring nut 56 which is in turn rotatably retained in a heavy ring 58 disposed in spaced relation beneath carriage 32 but rigidly connected thereto by a plurality (two shown) of legs 60 rising therefrom and secured at their upper ends to said carriage by bolts 62. A portion 64 of nut 56 projects from ring 58 to serve as a handle by means of which the nut may be turned manually to raise or lower tool bit 38 adjustably as desired.
Arranged along the rearward edge of the table is a special guide fence 66 for guiding work pieces in a straight line movement over the table surface. Since the work pieces normally are moved from right to left over the table, as viewed in FIGS. 1 and 2, the right portion 68 of the fence will be denoted its leading portion, and the left portion 70 thereof will be denoted its trailing portion. The leading portion 68 constitutes an elongated form presenting, in cross-section, a vertical leg 72 rising from the surface of the table to provide a guide surface for a work piece 74 here illustrated as a flat wooden board, a bottom horizontal flange 76 projecting beneath table slab 18 and secured thereto by screws 78, and a top horizontal flange 80 extending rearwardly from the upper edge of vertical flange 72. This formation extends across the entire rear edge of the table, including a portion thereof bridging the gap 24 between slabs 16 and 18, but in the left portion thereof, its vertical leg 72 and top horizontal leg 80 are offset respectively rearwardly and downwardly, as indicated at 72' and 80', to serve as a support for an angle iron 82 which serves as the actual trailing guide fence, said angle iron including a vertical leg 84 depending closely adjacent the surface of table slab 16, and a horizontal leg 86 overlying leg 80' and secured adjustably thereto by a pair of spaced apart bolts 88 fixed in leg 80', projecting upwardly through enlarged holes 90 in leg 80, and having enlarged clamping wing nuts 92 threaded thereon.
In the portion of right fence member 68 bridging the table gap 24 between slabs 16 and 18, both the lower horizontal flange 76 thereof and the vertical leg 72 thereof are notched away to a sufficiently high elevation that both carriage 32 and filler plate 28 may be projected rearwardly through the fence line, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. In addition, the lower edge of vertical leg 72' is notched upwardly from its lower edge to form a window 96 aligned with router bit 38 at the midline of the table, and of sufficient width to pass the largest router bit likely to be used therethrough. The juncture of the legs 72 and 80 of right fence member 68 with legs 72' and 80' thereof is marked by a shoulder 94 facing to the left, and this shoulder is disposed at the right edge of window 96, as best shown in FIG. 8. When the right end of angle iron 82 is lodged firmly against shoulder 94, as in FIG. 8, the vertical leg 84 thereof covers window 96 to avoid any interruption in the guide surface provided by the fence, and legs 84 and 86 of the angle iron form coplanar extensions of legs 72 and 80 of the right fence member 68. The fence in this configuration provides a straight, uninterrupted guide for the full width of the table, and is used when the routing bit 38 is used to shape the work piece at a spaced apart distance from the fence, for example to cut a slot in the work piece, or a groove in its lower surface, in a direction parallel to the fence, as the work piece is guided across the table by sliding it against the fence.
The spacing of the router cut from the fence is determined by the position to which carriage 32 is moved along the length of table slot 24. The carriage is fixed at the desired position by a heavy clamp plate 98 disposed principally beneath right table slab 18, and being substantially horizontal except that one edge thereof is turned upwardly to form a flange 100 engaging the bottom of slab 18, and the opposite edge is turned upwardly to form a flange 102 engaging the bottom side of carriage 32. Said plate is supported by a screw 104 fixed at its upper end in slab 18, depending through a hole provided therefor centrally in the plate, and having a nut 106 threaded thereon beneath the plate, as shown in FIG. 2. When said nut is tightened, the carriage is held firmly against sliding movement along gap 24. The carriage may thus be held firmly with router bit 38 at any point in the full length of the table, or even moved outwardly from either end of the table to some degree.
To assist in positioning the router bit accurately relative to the fence, there is provided a gauge member 108 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Said gauge member comprises an elongated sheet metal member adapted to be laid transversely across the top surfaces of carriage 32 and filler plate 28, and having each end thereof pointed as shown at 110 to indicate a reading on a scale 112 imprinted on the top surface of the adjacent table slab 16 or 18, said scales indicating distance from fence 66. A portion of the gauge member is bent upwardly to form a vertical tab 114, the forward surface of which lies in the same vertical plane as the points 110. To use the gauge, bit 38 is first turned so that a point thereof faces the fence, as shown, and the gauge is laid across the carriage and filler plate, as shown, with tab 114 against the bit and points 110 indicating readings on scales 112. Then, with nut 106 loosened to free the carriage, the carriage is moved lengthwise of the table until gauge points 110 indicate the correct reading on scales 112. To insure that the gauge is held accurately in a line transverse to the table, a series of closely spaced parallel lines 116 may be imprinted on the top surface of carriage plate 36, as shown in FIG. 1. These lines serve as visual reference marks facilitating the holding of the gauge accurately parallel thereto. The router cut formed in the work piece as the latter is moved across the table of course has one edge proximate the fence and one edge distal from the fence. If the spacing of the proximate edge from the fence is the critical dimension, gauge 108 is placed as illustrated, with tab 114 engaging a point of the bit closest to the fence. If the spacing of the distal cut edge from the fence is the critical dimension, on the other hand, gauge 108 is simply reversed end for end, and tab 114 engaged with a point of the bit spaced farthest from the fence. Once the carriage has been properly set, and clamped in position by tightening nut 106, gauge 108 is of course removed.
If it is desired to use routing bit 38, or any other tool mountable in chuck 44, for planing or otherwise shaping the edge of work piece 74 being guided along fence 66, clamp nuts 92 of the left or trailing fence portion are first loosened, and left fence angle iron 82 moved to the left. This uncovers window 96 in fence leg 72', and carriage 32 may then be adjusted rearwardly as already described, to the extent that router bit 38 moves through, or partially through, window 96 of fence leg 72', as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. That is, the bit is disposed within the window, but its orbit still projects forwardly of right fence 68 to remove a cut of wood from a work piece 74 as said work piece is moved along fence 68, as best shown in FIG. 7 at 118. If the shaping operation being performed on the board edge is of a type which removes a positive material thickness from the board edge, as shown, the vertical leg 84 of trailing fence angle iron 82 is also adjusted forwardly by the same amount, as shown in FIG. 7 and as permitted by the enlarged form of the bolt holes 90 in the top leg 86 of angle iron 82. This provides for accurate guidance and straight line travel of the work piece across the table despite the thickness thereof removed by the bit. A series of closely spaced parallel lines 120 imprinted transversely on the top of table slab 16 adjacent angle iron 82 facilitate the setting of said angle iron accurately parallel to the right or leading fence 68.
Thus it will be apparent that a router table having several advantages has been produced. The routing bit may be spaced at any desired distance from the fence, in an amount limited only by the length of the table. The work piece is always adequately supported, particularly in the area of the bit, by the fact that the bit, while adjustable the full length of the table, requires a hole of only very limited size in the carriage to accomodate it, and that the carriage top plate provides support for the work piece in a wide area around the bit. Good support of the work piece along the fence is also required for accurate and efficient operation, and this support is provided by filler plate 28. Said filler plate may be reversed end-for-end, if necessary, to provide an uninterrupted portion thereof beneath and forwardly of the fence for good work support. The scope and flexibility of the tool is considerably increased by the fact that the tool bit may be moved effectively behind the fence, in order that it may be used to plane or otherwise shape the work edge guided by the fence. Also the fence is specially constructed to provide a window through which the tool bit may move, but only when said edge planing or shaping is desired, and also to compensate for any work thickness removed in the edge shaping operation, so that the guiding function of the fence is not destroyed at the trailing side of the tool bit.
While I have shown and described a specific embodiment of my invention, it will be readily apparent that many minor changes of structure and operation could be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

By: RACHEL D'ORO, Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Unseasonably warm weather in parts of Alaska is forcing the cancellation of qualifying races for future rookies of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
It's also complicating training for mushers already signed up for the 1,000-mile trek to Nome.
But Iditarod officials say there's still plenty of snow along much of the route. They say there's no need to worry about drastic changes to the race, which will start March 2 with a ceremonial run in Anchorage. The competition begins the following day in Willow, 50 miles to the north.
Race marshal Mark Nordman says it's too soon to plan a repeat of 2003, when the restart was moved more than 300 miles north to Fairbanks because of too much open water in rivers and creeks that cross the route.
