[Histonet] prostate orientation

    Make sure to use embedding sponges, and make sure the person grossing
them teases them straight before putting the top sponge on.  If you gross
them in straight and flat, between sponges, they should stay that way
through processing.  It makes the embedding easier.  Some techs like to use
an embedding weight to help get bx's flat.  I've worked places where we
trimmed the blocks and got 6 levels of prostate bx on 1 slide.
