Tyler the Creator is such a punk I don't care what you excuses or justifications are but if you use the word gay to mean anything other than that to describe someone who is gay that's just wrong! You might not mean it to be offensive and maybe even your friends (Frank Ocean) know your intent…
He's not being hateful you fucking faggot. He has a message behind it. You choose what offends you. The word gay is just a word in the same way that phone is a word. People give power and negative connotations to words. If people give certain things or words power, you can make those things or words powerless. He is not homophobic. He's trying to weed out sensitive people like you.

I want to marry this girl
I will work for Mammoth this winter while getting physical therapy. I will find a way. I will work for Yellowstone/a National Park this summer. I will get my EMT training at SBCC the following Fall. I will fulfill these dreams. Failure is not an option. I am the captain of my own fate. Control your life. Don't let life control you. I can do anything I fucking want. I am a fucking unicorn. And fuck anybody who say I'm not. What you think, you become. Think success, be success.
Dear the troubled and anxious,
Fuck the status quo. Fuck school. You need a career, not mass amounts of debt. Fucking being a consumer. Fuck giving in. Those meaningless things you give in to buying will devalue and rot over time. They will not make you happy. Do what you really want to do in this life. Don't let anyone try and stop you. They don't have your mindset. They don't know you. You only get one chance at this things called life so follow your passion. Follow love. If you follow the status quo, you are not a leader. You're a mindless follower. You're a fucking number. A fucking statistic. The status quo does not want you to be a hero, a legend. Greatness and success come from within. Let me ask you something, if you were to die are this moment would you be fulfilled with what you were doing with your life and where it was going? If not, change it. Use the free will you have towards your advantage. Realize that there is an end, a nothingness to come. You will die. Decompose in the ground. Become worm food. Will you be remembered? Or a distant memory? You have that choice right now. While you are still alive. If you are afraid to follow you passion and leave the status quo, just remember that you create your own demons. Your own fears. Since you create them, you also have the magnificent power to destroy them. It is just a mind game. He is a faker and a delusion. Take control of your mind, and then you will know peace. Lose everything. Hit bottom. Really hit bottom. This is where freedom is found. From there rebuild to what you really want to be, regardless of the status quo, propaganda, and brainwashing. If this is completed properly, freedom will remain. Your life absolutely depends on devouring freedom. Hunt freedom down like Ted Bundy hunted his victims. Freedom is love. Freedom is passion. Freedom is creating more than you consume. The American Dream is psychotic. The American Dream is solitary confinement The American Dream is slavery. No one else can define your freedom for you. That is only up to you.

THE CYCLOPS by Euripides, Part 06
LEADER Best of friends, would we might see that day, escaping the godless Cyclops! ODYSSEUS Hear then how I will requite this vile monster and rescue you from thraldom. LEADER Tell me how; no note of Asiatic lyre would sound more sweetly in our ears than news of the Cyclops' death. ODYSSEUS Delighted with this liquor of the Bacchic god, he fain would go a-reveling with his brethren. LEADER I understand; thy purpose is to seize and slay him in the thickets when clone, or push him down a precipice. ODYSSEUS Not at all; my plan is fraught with subtlety. LEADER What then? Truly we have long heard of thy cleverness. ODYSSEUS I mean to keep him from this revel, saying he must not give this drink to his brethren but keep it for himself alone and lead a happy life. Then when he falls asleep, o'ermastered by the Bacchic god, I will put a point with this sword of mine to an olive-branch I saw lying in the cave, and will set it on fire; and when I see it well alight, I will lift the heated brand, and, thrusting it full in the Cyclops' eye, melt out his sight with its blaze; and, as when a man in fitting the timbers of a ship makes his auger spin to and fro with a double strap, so will I make the brand revolve in the eye, that gives the Cyclops light and will scorch up the pupil thereof. LEADER Ho! ho! how glad I feel! wild with joy at the contrivance! ODYSSEUS That done, I will embark thee and those thou lovest with old Silenus in the deep hold of my black ship, my ship with double banks of oars, and carry you away from this land. LEADER Well, can I too lay hold of the blinding brand, as though the god's libation had been poured? for I would fain have a share in this offering of blood. ODYSSEUS Indeed thou must, for the brand is large, and thou must help hold it. LEADER How lightly would I lift the load of e'en a hundred wains, if that will help us to grub out the eye of the doomed Cyclops, like a wasp's nest. ODYSSEUS Hush! for now thou knowest my plot in full, and when I bid you, obey the author of it; for I am not the man to desert my friends inside the cave and save myself alone. And yet I might escape; I am clear of the cavern's depths already; but no! to desert the friends with whom I journeyed hither and only save myself is not a righteous course. (He re-enters the cave.) FIRST SEMI-CHORUS (singing) Come, who will be the first and who the next to him upon the list to grip the handle of the brand, and, thrusting it into the Cyclops' eye, gouge out the light thereof? SECOND SEMI-CHORUS (singing) Hush! hush! Behold the drunkard leaves his rocky home, trolling loud some hideous lay, a clumsy tuneless clown, whom tears await. Come, let us give this boor a lesson in revelry. Ere long will he be blind at any rate. FIRST SEMI-CHORUS (singing) Happy he who plays the Bacchanal amid the precious streams distilled from grapes, stretched at full length for a revel, his arm around the friend he loves, and some fair dainty damsel on his couch, his hair perfumed with nard and glossy, the while he calls, "Oh! who will ope the door for me?" (The CYCLOPS enters. He is obviously drunk.) CYCLOPS (singing) Ha! ha! full of wine and merry with a feast's good cheer am I, my hold freighted like a merchant-ship up to my belly's very top. This turf graciously invites me to seek my brother Cyclopes for revel in the spring-tide. Come, stranger, bring the wine-skin hither and hand it over to me. SECOND SEMI-CHORUS (singing) Forth from the house its fair lord comes, casting his fair glance round him. We have someone to befriend us. A hostile brand is awaiting thee, no tender bride in dewy grot. No single colour will those garlands have, that soon shall cling so close about thy brow. ODYSSEUS (returning with the wine-skin. He is followed by SILENUS, who is also drunk.) Hearken, Cyclops; for I am well versed in the ways of Bacchus, whom I have given thee to drink.

Annual Installation of Officers and Guest of Honor Evening Planned for Thursday, April 29
The Minneapolis District Dental Society 2010 Installation of Officers and Guest of Honor Evening will be Thursday, April 29, at the Golden Valley Golf and Country Club. Officers for the upcoming year are Mark R. Omlie, president; Lee Ann M. Herbert, president-elect; Cale A. Strait, vice-president; and Gary A. Bolmgren, secretary/treasurer. The MDDS will present its Guest of Honor Recognition Award during the evening's program as well. The 2010 Guest of Honor is William P. Hoffman. Please plan on attending this evening and honoring these members as they take office for the 2010-2011 year. We will be honoring Bill for all his years of service to the dental profession in a wonderful program.
The Minneapolis District also will say thank you to Alejandro Aguirre for his past year as the president of the District. Originally from Mexico City, Mexico, Dr. Aguirre obtained his dental degree from the University of Missouri at Kansas City (UMKC). He obtained a Master of Science and Certificate in Endodontics from the University of Minnesota. He is a partner at Endodontic Associates, Ltd. with his brother, Ramon Aguirre, Robert Edmunds, and Abbas Tabibi. Alejandro lives in Plymouth with his wife, Laura, and their daughter, Andrea Jauli. We have heard a rumor that he wants to learn to speak French in the near future. Perhaps he will have some free time now, although he will continue to hold office as the MDA Trustee for the Minneapolis District for the next two years. Please thank Dr. Aguirre for all his hard work in advancing the Minneapolis District in its goals and mission over the past year. Thank you, Alejandro!
Again this year, we will be honoring all the Minneapolis District past presidents at this event. So all you past presidents out there, watch your mail for your special invitation and mark this date down in your calendars now! Everyone wants to see you at this special evening. Please plan on attending this wonderful event, getting reacquainted with colleagues you have not seen in awhile, enjoy the hors d'oeuvres, wine, dinner, and the full program.

10th Annual Give Kids a Smile and Children's Dental Health Care Day Held
What a difference a day makes! On Saturday, February 6, 2010, the Minneapolis District Dental Society held its tenth annual "Give Kids a Smile" day at the Sharing and Caring Hands Dental Clinic in Minneapolis. Many thanks to Mary Jo Copeland for opening her heart and the doors of Sharing and Caring Hands, so that we could provide a full day of dental care to the children who are most in need. It was truly a celebration of service to the community and a commitment to volunteerism by members of our Minneapolis District. We provided more than $42,650.00 in dental care to 113 children who may otherwise have no access to care. Our volunteers provided oral hygiene instruction, dental exams, toothbrush prophylaxis, fluoride treatments, radiographs, sealants, extractions, pulpotomies, stainless steel crowns, and composite and amalgam restorations. We had face painting, a coloring table, and a goody bag with toothbrush and floss for each child.
We would like to recognize AppleTree Dental, as we were able to once again use their mobile dental units for this every special day. Use of this equipment helped us to more than double the size of Sharing and Caring Hands' permanent dental clinic, which gave us the opportunity to see even more patients in a single day. Thank you, AppleTree Dental, for all your help and assistance.
Many thanks also to all of our donors for the event as well as Henry Schein Dental for providing comprehensive/complete restorative kits for every child who was treated. Again, the Minneapolis District Dental Society was chosen as one of the site in the United States to receive this wonderful gift. Thank you, Henry Schein Dental! Please see the list of donors below.

If you were unable to participate this year, please plan to volunteer for next year's event on Saturday, February 5, 2011. We would love to have you join us. It is a great opportunity to serve others in our community, renew old friendships, make new friends, and add a few CE credits to your portfolio.
Once again, it was truly a celebration of service to our community and to the children who are most in need. Teresa Fong coordinated another very successful event, and the Minneapolis District thanks her!
Through one staff member, volunteer dentists, and dental auxiliary, the Sharing and Caring Hands Dental Clinic operates throughout the year, providing dental care to those in our community without means to afford care on their own. More volunteers are always welcome at the clinic year-round. Funding is greatly needed and welcome as well. Please consider a gift of your time, or send a tax-deductible contribution. For more information, please contact Michelle Quade at the Minneapolis District Dental Society office at (651)631-9845, or Melissa Cozart at the Sharing and Caring Hands Dental Clinic at (612) 596-3463.

A Day Like No Other
The Saint Paul District Dental Society hosted Children's Dental Health Day on Saturday, February 20. This is the eleventh year the event was held at Minnesota Children's Museum in downtown Saint Paul, and what we do on this day alone has become one of the most visible things our district does each year. Children's Dental Health Day falls into the category of "community event", and its success is due to the people who volunteer their time to make it not only so effective a message, but so much fun as well. We all should thank our member dentists, hygienists, and assistants, and the students from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, Century College, and Dakota County Technical College. An extra gold star goes to our Dr. Angie Hilo, who practices in Eagan, for her good-doing as chairperson of this event.
Children's Dental Health Day was created to engage the public at large, and small, (parents and children) and designed to provide awareness and education about oral health. For the children attending, the cast of characters they enjoyed visiting with included the Tooth Fairy, Happy Tooth, and Count Plaqula. As well, stationed throughout the Museum were various interactive activities. One of the favorites was the "Dentist for a Day" station. At this area, any kid could don a smock, gloves, and mask and perform exams on his or her parents' teeth while their victim-of-choice was sitting in an actual dental chair. We would like to thank Patterson Dental for the use of the dental chair as well as an intra-oral camera.
Another popular stop was the "Ask the Dentist" area. Kids and their parents could ask the dentist questions and get educational materials on topics running the gamut from fluoride, general oral care and whitening, to oral piercings. In addition to these areas, we also had "Sip All Day/Get Decay" and "Sour Candy" displays, and demonstrations on sealant placement and proper brushing and flossing techniques.
This year we were pleased to have Children's Dental Services join us with their own display table of activities.
Dentisthesia: The Spring Break We All Deserve!
The planning committee for our biggest social event of the year has come up with some unique ideas for this year's party. This talented group of people recently met at the Happy Gnome (where else would one plan a social event?) and came up with a theme that is considerably different from those of past celebrations designed to break winter's icy grip.
"Dentisthesia?" you say. "Is that a word?"
To which we say, "It is now."
To promote Minnesota products, we will offer a "tasting fest" of a variety of Minnesota-produced beverages, including wines, beers, and root beer. For only $25 bucks per person, participants will enjoy an evening of socializing, a nice variety of appetizers, the aforementioned beverage tasting, and entertainment provided by local performers. If you think "camaraderie" has too many syllables, just start with "Hello".
Lest you think we are simply signing up for the "dessert first" philosophy of life, we hasten to add that the evening will begin in the courtyard of Eastcliff Manor with the installation of our officers and Executive Council members for the coming year.
All MDA members and their guests are invited to attend. SPDDS members will receive a personal invitation in the mail. Outside the district, members may call the headquarters office to request an invitation; the number is (651) 697-0831. Please join the fun on Thursday, May 27, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., at Eastcliff along the Mississippi River. It is a beautiful site from which to view the season that is unfolding.
Welcome to Organized Dentistry.....
New SPDDS members: Drs. Ladan Danialian, Jamshid Mahmoodi, and Guizhen Zhang.

SPDDS Midwinter Meeting
An Investment in Saint Paul Dentists
Saint Paul dentists have a great reputation for being skilled and talented dentists with strong social consciences and high ethical standards.
This was a reality that the Saint Paul District Dental Society Executive Council was recognizing at a meeting about two years ago. Most of these Saint Paul docs were members of the Saint Paul District Dental Society. Through our membership dues and their diligent participation in multiple district activities, the SPDDS had the luxury of a budgetary overage. So how do you reward these exceptional dentists? At the same time that question arose, along came its partner: How do you encourage dentists who are not members to experience the benefits of membership in their local district?
Multiple ideas were presented and discussed, and finally one was selected. Drs. Karl Andreasen and Norman Coates initiated and guided the new program, titled "Lunch and Learn".
The concept behind the program is this:
• Create a one-hour educational program worthy of one CE credit
• Have it taught by local speakers
• Offer it during a lunch hour
• Make it open to member dentists and staff
• Invite non-member dentists to attend
• Keep the cost genuinely affordable
The philosophy behind "Lunch and Learn" was that the District would subsidize the costs associated with the program. The "tuition" was never intended to cover all of the costs for mailing, the meal, rent, or stipends for the speakers. The hope was for the tuition to at least cover a significant portion of the program.
As the concept evolved, location was recognized as a key factor for this program to be successful. The MDA staff was very receptive to our use of the meeting rooms at our MDA headquarters. Its central location and excellent highway accessibility were very favorable features. The unexpected bonus was the use of the facility at no charge. This really gave us the opportunity to launch a program and subsidize it effectively while we tested the waters to see if there was an interest and a need for this type of program.
The results have been wonderful!
Attendance has been excellent. The number of attendees has varied from 15 to 30. Our capacity for seating is 30 attendees, but it is finding adequate parking for them that is a greater concern. If attendance numbers start to nudge 40 in the future, we will approach the hotel across the street from the MDA Central Office for permission to use their parking lot. Some of the programs have relevance for staff members, and that seems to significantly affect the attendance.
The "Lunch and Learn" program has offered a tremendous variety of topics already. These have included treating patients with dry mouth; OSHA standards; office emergencies; various aspects of cosmetic treatment; materials and techniques for restorative treatment, and ... We eagerly seek suggestions for topics and also presenters.
The only area of the program that has not met hopes and expectations relates to the number of non-member dentists who attend the "Lunch and Learn" programs. Relatively few non-member dentists have attended.
As we move into the spring and summer, be sure to watch your mail and join us for lunch on a Wednesday. Also, please invite another dentist, particularly if he or she is a non-member. If you're looking to make a contribution to organized dentistry, this is another very good opportunity to do that.

A Favre Cry
We're gradually moving toward spring in the Northeastern District. Maybe you've heard a few more birds singing in the morning, noticed the days getting longer, or found something you thought you lost during the winter beneath the melting snow. Regardless, it's a time of optimism and speculation - will it be a warm summer; how will the Twins do in their new stadium; is Favre coming back? I can't answer any of these questions, but I can tell you a little about what's been going on in the Northeastern District over the last couple of months.
The Christensen Mix
The January NEDDS meeting was held on a bright and sunny day at the Greysolon Plaza Ballroom in Duluth. Our speaker for this very well-attended meeting was Mr. Derek Hein, the Chief Operations Officer of the CR Foundation. That doesn't stand for "centric relation", but rather for Gordon Christensen's Clinician's Report. If you are not familiar with this publication, it is produced monthly and exists as a non-profit, independent research institute. They test and compare dental products and techniques to help us understand whether they will work "as advertised" or not.
The program was really informative, touching on all kinds of products that we use every day in our own offices. Some of the many subjects discussed included composites, cements, metal-free restorative materials, magnification, infection control, and CAD/CAM technology. One product I found particularly interesting was a new 3M product called "Blingtech Supreme", which is a nanohybrid composite filled with 18 karat gold flakes. Finally a product is available to conservatively give your patient the look of anterior "gold caps" without the added expense! There was plenty of time for those in attendance to ask questions both during and after the presentation, and many took advantage of this opportunity. Since we are bombarded with so many different products on a weekly basis in our own offices, it is nice to hear about the things will really work well for our patients.
During lunch, a special presentation was made to Duluth oral surgeon Duncan Puffer: the prestigious Beerhalter Award. This award is given to a dentist in the Northeastern District who has shown a strong dedication to participation in continuing education and who demonstrates clinical excellence. Duncan has served the Northeastern District at many levels over the last several years, and was instrumental in bringing together the Duluth chapter of the Seattle Study Club about five years ago. Please take some time to congratulate him on this award the next time you see him!
February Finds
Our February NEDDS meeting took place at the Kitchi Gammi Club in Duluth, and featured two speakers. The first presenter of the day was Dr. Lou Graham, giving a talk titled "Oral Cancer and Perio Topics for the Entire Dental Team". Dr. Graham is a general practitioner in Chicago, Illinois who has lectured internationally. He is very progressive, and utilizes some of the newest technologies available in his practice. Some of the topics he focused on included using the VELscope, which is an oral cancer screening system; and OralCDx, which is a brush biopsy tool for use in dental offices. He stressed the importance of incorporating these types of technologies in our offices to better serve our patients and catch oral cancer or dysplasias that may turn to oral cancer at a very early stage. Dr. Graham also talked about new systems for screening a patient's oral bacteria to help determine the presence of periodontal pathogens and the most effective ways to treat them. The fast-paced lecture was full of information that should help us to better understand the wide array of new screening tools available to us, and how they could be incorporated into our own practices.
The second speaker of the day was Dr. Doug Lambert, a general practitioner from Edina and a well-known composite wizard. Doug has lectured widely and has developed a number of techniques for providing high quality esthetic restorations to his patients. His presentation was titled "Composite Technique/Material Update (Stress-Free Posterior Composites)". During his talk Doug shared a number of clinical pearls, which have worked well for him and should undoubtedly help those in attendance to make their composites a little better. Some of the specifics he covered included methods to obtain good interproximal contact and ways to minimize material shrinkage and post-operative sensitivity. Those who have heard Doug speak before were treated to another good lecture on a subject we can all find challenging at times.
It's Greener on the Other Side of What Again?
The next time I write the North-eastern District Report, it will hopefully be a little warmer and a little greener outside. Those in the deep south of Minnesota will have already played a few rounds of golf while we are still watching the last of the snow mounds melt, but that's just life in the Northeast! Take care.
What Happens at Lake of the Woods Stays at Lake of the Woods
By Acclamation
During a recent interview in this journal, the subject was asked a question-within-a-question about the background of one of the topics; to wit, "Is there a story there?" To which he replied, "There's always a story." Every year (actually every other year) since its inception, the Northwestern District's Lake of the Woods Dental Meeting and Ice Fishing Weekend has proved that sage remark. This year's report is no exception. In fact, it is so story-rich that we took a vote and proclaimed Associate Editor John Lueth the Sage of the North. Herewith his saga. That's why they call it that.

Then You Should Have a Banner
The NWDDS motto for the Lake of the Woods Ice Fishing Weekend is: If you don't have fun ... it's your own fault!
Part the First
Sportsman's Lodge, January 29-31, 2010. The Northwestern District welcomes fisherpersons, sometimes called fisherones, to Lake of the Woods and its frozen environs for something called worknplay - sounds faintly Scandihoovian. Prepared or not, everyone heads for the ice, and the games begin. The first thing to surface is a rumor, well substantiated, that Saint Paul's Mike Kurkowski, apparently not satisified with being the MDA's Speaker of the House, aspired to be king, just in time to decree that his fellow fishers take the fish off his hook! He appears in the photo to begin his ascent to royalty during the lecture break. The smile upon the visage of Mike Schafhauser, left, harbors a secret. But more of that later.
Fisherman's Quiz
As they were sent off to the Bombardiers for the journey across the hard, cold, snow-covered icy expanse of the lake to their comfy warm fish houses, a Fisherman's Quiz was given to the population of each ice house to work on throughout the day. Fabulous cash and prizes were promised at the end of the day for the smartest pescatori. Smartphone use did not have to be prohibited ... it's often impossible to connect. (Note: Some plans may vary!)

(Find the answers at the end of this saga and see if you passed! Special thanks to Phyllis Sjulson for compiling the entire Fisherman's Quiz.)
Just to make things legitimately dentally-related: One ice house occupant was rumored to be having "test anxiety" during the day in trying to answer the questions.
Part the Second: Fish Stories
Childhood "Fish Tale" Confession
As often happens under isolated conditions (such as fish houses), the conversation turned to the confessional. One anonymous attendee admitted that as a kid, he would catch carp with his buddies, doing so early enough in the day to be ready for excitement later. The limp and lifeless carp were laid on the local rails, after which the boys hid in the bushes to wait for the scheduled train to pass by and spectacularly "fillet" the fish! No names are known, because What Happens at Lake of the Woods ...
"Grizzly Adams"
(aka Anonymous the Second)
Not to be outdone by other stories of daring dives to the deep to retrieve fish which spit the hook once they eyed their air-breathing captors, the occupants of one house tried to spin (in the current journalistic sense) their own daring deed. The trio disembarked their Bombardier and strode into the throng of tall-tale-telling Happy Hour participants with the object of their admiration sporting a very wet pants leg. The yarn as it unfolded claimed this wet leg came from diving down the ice fishing hole to retrieve a fish! A certain swagger and devil-may-care delivery cast suspicion upon the veracity of the story. Onlookers suspect that what may actually have caused the perfusion of the pants was, yes, Michelob Light beer — spilled from the outside.
The Perfect Polar Bear Move
Performed by MDA-President-To-Be Mike Flynn, with Witnesses (all titles capitalized on the day) Patrick Lloyd, Mike Zakula, and Doug and Kim Williams.
The story:
• Doug is reeling in a fish.
• Backstory: Doug had lost a fish before when it got up to the hole and flipped off, no one being able to grab it before it made its way down the hole and back to the safety of 32' of lake below the ice.
• Back to the story: Like a precision drill team:
- Kim moves Doug's can of Diet Dew;
- Zak moves the minnow container;
- The area around the hole is now cleared for Doug. In a flash, Flynn is on his belly, ready to assist Doug in any way possible. The fish comes up through the water, enters the water column of the hole, and is coming out of the water and into the house when — the fish comes off! With lightning fast reflexes, Mike plunges his arm up to his elbow down the hole ... far past the flailing fish ... his hand forming a paw. He scoops upwards through the entire hole with the fish being caught in the motion and successfully flipped into the house. Whereupon it can only be assumed that the remaining free hands pounced upon it. With cheers for their success and the tip of a beverage to Mike for the "perfect polar bear move", the sun shall set on this True Story.
Part the Third: Lake of the Woods 2010 Fishing Awards
Largest Fish: 26" walleye; Mike Schafhauser, Saint Paul
The Tale of the Largest Walleye Caught: Echoing a tale heard from several ice houses when they told of heroic measures to land their walleyes, the Saint Paul crew assisting Mike in hauling in his award-winning walleye seemed to all shout out the story at once. Mike was reeling the fish up toward the hole, others were moving obstacles from near the hole, shouting advice, and ready to dive into the hole with arms or any appendage at their disposal to scoop the big critter up and into the house. The behemoth is reeled up and gets into the hole. Mike brings it up the icy cylinder, and just as it breaks the surface of the water in the hole ... the line breaks! With some commotion, a tense moment or two when the fish might have flipped, flopped, and otherwise found its way to the hole and once again to freedom, Pat Mascia is said to have sacrificed himself to secure the 'eye! He dived after it to keep it from heading right back down the hole. I believe much of what they said. Pat even showed me the nice gash on the backside of his forearm (reportedly from sharp ice at the edge of the hole!) to show for his daring effort.
Most Fish: 12; Brett Cooper, Bemidji
Yours Truly was fishing in the very same ice house and witnessed every fish caught. Not only did Bret catch the most fish, but he caught them all from the same corner of the house. Bottom line, Bret hogged all the fish! (Okay, maybe the rest of us caught two fish and maybe missed a couple. Bret earned the trophy!)
Fewest Fish: Phyllis (Like Voldemort, "last-name-not-to-be-spoken"), Fosston. In a tie-breaker; the other contender to remain anonymous ... unless he goes fishless at year 4! Score to date: Nada, Nichts, Zippo, Got nuthin', Goose egg X 3 (2006, 2008, 2010).
Largest Eelpout: Roger Ettel, Saint Paul
Roger won this award with a 21" "coiled" 'pout ... His [somewhat abridged] retort when recognized for his achievement: "How do you measure [a slimy thing like that] when it's coiled [around your arm]!"
Part the Other
The higher level brain activities of the weekend were well attended in both senses of that phrase. The dental seminar was given by Dr. John Kayusik, Mankato. Dr. Kanyusik presented an overview of orthodontics for the general dentist (including diagnosis and treatment planning) and discussion of autotransplantation of teeth, what's new and on the horizon in orthodontics, and controversies in orthodontics. Presentations were informative and tailored to the interests of the attendees. As well, some very interesting time was spent recapping some of Dr. K's volunteer activities in association with Health Volunteers Overseas in the countries of Viet Nam, Moldova, and Tanzania. We greatly appreciated his contributions to the weekend.
Fisherman's Quiz answers:

Dr. Mack Visits the Kindergarten Class
My partner Bob Mack struck out this morning to one of the local elementary schools to meet with its kindergarten class. Armed with Dental Health Month literature and goodie bags for 30 kids, each of the latter chock full of the usual suspects, he displayed a ready willingness to dive into the Brownian Movement of five-year-olds. If you're old enough to remember Art Linkletter, the phrase "Kids Say the Darndest Things" may resonate with you.
The time spent with the kids was filled with information about teeth and gums, brushing and flossing, some electronic wizardry with the assistance of the class' self-professed high-tech-junkie teacher, and finally some questions from the kids.
Upon returning to the office, I asked Dr. Bob, "How'd it go?! Did you get any of those classic kindergarten questions?" My own favorite class visit was the one years ago when the teacher would ask the kids if they had any questions for Dr. Lueth. All the hands would go up, and not one child could sit still for the excitement of being called upon. Then inevitably, one after another, their "questions" morphed into stories: "My Grandma takes her teeth out every night and leaves them in the bathroom!" The teacher would briefly explain to the child, and the class, that that was not a question, then query again if someone else had something to ask. The next child called upon would say, "My sister had a cavity one time."
Okay, I'll play: "What did she do?"
"The dentist put some black stuff in it, but then the tooth fell out!"
At which time the teacher would again try to help the eager class understand the difference between a question and a story.
Bob grinned ear to ear when he told me these kids had actually asked a couple of insightful questions. At this point I was sincerely jealous. They're only five. I rarely think to ask insightful questions!
One kid had asked, "Why do we have to get adult teeth? I like my teeth!"
Another youngster asked, "Where do your adult teeth come from?"
For those of us who have worked for so long in the adult world - you know, the world where we don't get asked that kind of really simple but insightful question all that often - it can make you stop and consider. "Cool," I thought. "That's pretty basic. How do I explain that?"
I wanted to give Bob my own cool answer for the kid, but all I could think of off the top of my head was, "Well, you see, your mommy swallowed a watermelon seed, and then her tummy got verrry big...!"
I'm thinking Bob chose a different explanation.
Professional Composure 101
My patient is in the chair for a crown seating and the procedure is taking more time than usual because of all her talking and sharing of stories. Before completing the steps prior to cementation, the patient bites together, feeling a high occlusion and telling me so. "We'll get that adjusted in proper sequence" I say. Relieved that she wouldn't be left with a new crown which is contacting harder than her other teeth, the patient said, "So if we get it adjusted I can close my mouth!" I respond, "That's what we want!"

SRO in the Elbow Room: The Southern District's Midwinter Meeting 2010
The Southern District Dental Society hosted our annual Midwinter Meeting January 15, 2010. Bethany Valachi, PT and founder of POSTUREDONTICS, LLC, gave a full-day presentation on ergonomics and chronic pain and injury prevention. Elbow room was hard to come by at the lecture hall at South Central College/Mankato, and numerous people commented on the high quality of Ms. Valachi's presentation. If anyone has an interest in this topic and was unable to attend this event, Bethany will return to Minnesota for a presentation at the Star of the North Meeting this April. Check your schedules for time and location! For a review (or preview), one can visit her website, posturedontics.com.

Students Strive for the "Ideal"
With Spring Break just around the corner as of this writing, the Student District is eager for some time off after the whirlwind of events they have been hosting. January, February, and March are without a doubt the most active months within our district's calendar. In addition to the strenuous academic loads, our chapter's membership has continually produced active leaders who advocate and advance organized dentistry. As a result, our district has seen an explosion of new and improved events. Each year the students participate in a nationwide "Ideal ASDA Chapter" competition by creating a 46-page book highlighting their achievements. To view the full document, please visit www.mnASDA.net.
Superlative Goal Tending
Our Career Development Committee, chaired by Anna Kenney, D4, and Hamid Khanjari, D3, has exemplified the leadership initiatives of our district. In a collaborated effort with our Student Council, by having each student donate one dollar to go to Haiti relief efforts, the students reached their goal by raising more than $500. Additionally, our Adopt-a-Family program was such a success that we were able to sponsor not one but three families, raising more than $900 worth of toys, clothes, and cash.
Kids For Kids
On February 6, Brian Peters, D3, lead the students in hosting our most successful Give Kids A Smile day at the School of Dentistry. We increased the number of appointments from 132 to 162, and did it with a record low failure rate of 13.5%. None of this would have been possible without the 260 students, faculty, and staff who volunteered.
Dancin' the Night Away
The Activities Committee, lead by Elisa Dommer, D3, was busy preparing for one of our most sought after events. To thank our members for all the hard work and support over the year, the Student District hosts the annual "G.V. Black Tie" dance at the downtown Marriott. More than 350 students and guests made this the largest dance we have hosted.
Pizza and a Piece of Cake
One of the most improved aspects of our district has been our Legislative Grassroots network (LGN), lead by Aruna Roa, D2. With the rebirth of our "Pizza and Politics" and "Meet and Greet" programs, we can be reassured that the future leaders are well informed advocates for our profession. So much so, in fact, that seven of our students became isolated in our snow engulfed Capitol for a week. Fortunately, we had an intrepid reporter on the scene, the aforementioned Aruna Roa, our Student District Legislative Liaison. Herewith her report:
Students Face Snow-pocalypse
In general, Minnesotans and upper Midwesterners alike know how to handle snow. While the first snowfall of the year creates more chaos than is necessary and brings out the worst in our fellow drivers, school is never cancelled due to "severe weather", and somehow we all make it where we need to be. It is difficult to imagine that with a 72-inch snowfall in the epicenter of the United States, there are fewer snowplows than in the small town of Slayton, Minnesota. Nonetheless, eight very motivated, unstoppable Minnesota students made the long, arduous trek to Washington, D.C. to do what they were meant to do: use their voices to make a difference.
A record-setting attendance of 362 students was expected at National Dental Student Lobby Day 2010, but only a fraction of that number were able to arrive. Nonetheless, the Legislative Grassroots Network (or what was left of them) handled the meeting with strength and poise, and provided information on the bills at hand.
The two bills, Student Loan Interest Deduction (SLID), and HR 855 - Enhancing SIMULATION Act - were decided upon by ASDA and ADEA as the pertinent issues facing dental students. We can definitely relate to both of them here in Minnesota. Obviously we know about being hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, and we also are aware of the importance of having technologies (like those utilized in the preclinic) to help prepare for our clinical and patient experiences. We wanted to represent our school and reach out to our representatives in Congress, so individual emails and letters were handwritten to all ten representatives (including both Senators' offices) with whom we were supposed to meet. The response, so far, has been very positive, and there is definite support out there for the interests of dental students.

Winter's Blast Without Cold Feet
The West Central District's Midwinter Meeting was a blast this year, held at Cragun's Resort in Brainerd with weather that allowed for a great variety of outdoor activities. Organizers made it a family fun weekend, starting with a pizza party and swimming. (Tell your mom no one got a cramp.) Saturday's annual District meeting included updates from Dean Patrick Lloyd of the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, Marsh Company, Care Credit, and Midwest Dental Benefits (MDB). We applauded the passing of the presidential baton from John Foss, now demoted to immediate past-president, to Kevin Dens, our new lead runner! We also thanked West Central's stalwart good-doer Robert Gardetto for his many years of service to our district as MDA committee member, District treasurer, and MDA trustee. We discussed the possibility of our next Midwinter Meeting being held in Jamaica, with CE talks by various specialists from within our district. There was a distinct positive groundswell at the suggestion.
The continuing education seminar was a very entertaining ethics montage by David Satin, M.D., from the University of Minnesota Bioethics Department. It was nice to see dentists from our district bringing their supporting team members to the lecture and the lunch.
After lunch it was recess time for both adults and kiddos. Snowmobile rides, dogsled rides, horse-drawn sleigh rides, hockey, and ice skating filled the afternoon. The evening brought the much anticipated bingo game, with prizes galore donated by Marsh Co., MDB Insurance, and Care Credit. It was hard to tell if the adults or the kids had more fun.
Member News
Sadly, we report the passing of one of our retired members, Franklin Steen, Sr., from Alexandria. He was a member of the Class of 1950 from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. His son, Franklin Jr., practices dentistry in Minnesota as well. The District extends its sympathies and good wishes to the Steen family.
Upcoming District Events
Willmar's WCD Study Club will present a continuing education lecture April 1 by Nelson Rhodus, D.M.D., on "Oral Manifestations of Systemic Disease".
The West Central District Dental Society's May Day Conference will feature an amazing international speaker, Dr. Adriana McGregor from California, who will present a lecture and hands-on workshop in St. Cloud, at Mi Famiglia Restaurant and Conference Center. (Course description follows this announcement.) There will be limited seating for the lecture and microscope workshop, so early registration is advised. There will also be several big table vendors present, including Dentsply, Global Microscopes, Zeiss Microscopes, Hartzell and Son Instruments, and more. The event will be held Saturday, May 1, with an 8:30 a.m. registration; 9:00-11:00 a.m. lecture; lunch from 11:00 to noon, and the hands-on workshop from noon to 3:00 p.m., to cover soft tissue microsurgery/microsuturing. The lecture is $75 for dentists and $40 for staff, and carries two CE credits. The workshop is $150, with three CE credits. Please contact Jeanni Foss at (218) 828-0565 for information and registration packets. This event is open to ALL MDA members!!
Achieving the Ultimate Esthetics: Endodontic, Periodontal, and Implant Applications of Microsurgery That Enhance the Restorative Outcomes
Adriana McGregor, D.D.S.
May 1, 2010
Solving the esthetic challenges we encounter daily during surgical endodontics and periodontics as well as restorative handling of soft tissues requires an ever more demanding level of precision. Esthetic, endodontic, periodontal, and implant microsurgery have played increasingly prominent roles in achieving treatment outcomes never before thought possible with conventional surgical techniques. Examples of innovative techniques for soft tissue grafting, esthetic anterior crown lengthening, soft tissue implant rescue, extractions, immediate implant placement, and provisionalization and minimally invasive sinus elevation techniques will be presented to demonstrate how a microsurgical approach to addressing the "pink esthetics" aspects of treatment can enhance the restorative results to new levels of excellence. A detailed, practical hands-on workshop to introduce the basic concepts and principles of microsurgery will follow for those interested in a step-by-step demonstration and exercise. Space for the hands-on portion of the program will be limited to 20 attendees.

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
The New Miracle Foods
Products containing omega-3s
On the shelves: Odwalla Soymilk; Omega Farms Omega-3-fortified dairy products (including milk, cheese, and yogurt); omega-3-fortified eggs; and many other enhanced foods, from bread to mayonnaise.
Claims: Most of these products haven't gotten the FDA stamp of approval, so manufacturers need to tread more carefully. You're likely to see vague promises like "helps maintain a healthy heart" or "promotes healthy circulation."
Evidence: Most or all of the omega-3s in these enhanced products is in the plant form (called ALA), which is healthy — but doesn't have any proven heart benefits. To get those benefits, you need the type of omega-3s that are found in fatty fish (EPA/DHA). True, a few fortified products do contain EPA/DHA, but they don't supply enough to make much difference.
Shopping advice: Go fishing. The American Heart Association recommends that everyone eat at least two servings of fish (particularly a fatty type like salmon or lake trout) weekly. A 3-ounce serving of salmon averages 1,450 mg of EPA/DHA, compared to only 75 mg in an 8-ounce serving of Omega Farms Milk.
Products containing antioxidants
On the shelves: Kashi Heart to Heart Cereal; Quaker Take Heart Instant Oatmeal, and a large variety of other foods and beverages. Usually, these are flagged contains antioxidants on the label.
Claims: Again, companies must be careful; you're likely to see general promises of a healthier heart.
Evidence: Recently, a very large analysis from the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, the National Institutes of Health, and other research centers concluded that antioxidants do not in fact reduce the risk of heart disease (though there are other good reasons to include them in your diet).
Shopping advice: If you're swapping an enriched bar or cereal for a sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich, you'll be doing your heart a favor, even if the antioxidants don't directly help.

You May Have Six Lombardi Trophies Pittsburgh, But You're On The Worst NFL Jerseys Of All Time List
2/4/09 in NFL | Michael_Luchies | 17 respect
First up, the Philadelphia Eagles throwback:
There's nothing better than a bright yellow jersey with powder blue trim and numbers.
A very close second are these New York Jets throwback jerseys
Looks like a bad mix of the Steelers and St. Louis Rams uniforms.
And were the Pittsburgh Steelers ever a soccer team? They may have won the Super Bowl, but there is no excuse for these throwback jerseys worn in 1994. None.
The NFL Pro Bowl not only highlights the best players in the NFL, but also the worst jersey designs of the 21st century
A few other NFL jersey designs that could make you want to rip your eyes out include;
The Seattle Seahawks
Tampa Bay Bucs
Carolina Panthers
And the Buffalo Bills.
And here may be the worst NFL uniform ever, courtesy of the Denver Broncos.
Now, you're probably looking at this and saying, 'What do you mean? The Broncos look fine, and like they did for a large part of their history.' Well, you'd actually be wrong. The team in the white jerseys and blue helmets isn't the Broncos. The team that's wearing the hideous mustard color uniform with turd colored pants is in fact the Broncos. Seriously, I'm not kidding. The Broncos wore that awful combination for their first two seasons (1960-1961).
The only thing I can say about these ugly NFL jerseys, is that they are all better looking than Jamarcus Russell's sweater.

New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan has already said that this weekend's game against the New England Patriots is "personal". Apparently cornerback Antonio Cromartie agrees. When asked what kind of guy quarterback Tom Brady is, Cromartie offered up a short, sweet and to the point assement.
"An ass—-."
"—- him."
I guess Cromartie wasnt too happy with Brady throwing all over the Jets in their December game, a 45-3 blowout for the Patriots. If the Jets arent careful, the Patriots could do the exact same thing. You think Bill Belicheck isnt listening to all the garbage being spewn by the Jets this week?
I know one player who wouldnt vote for Tom Brady to be the MVP

Treaty of Windsor (1386)
The Treaty of Windsor is the diplomatic alliance signed between Portugal and England on 9 May 1386[1] with the Treaty of Windsor and the marriage of King John I of Portugal (House of Aviz) with Philippa of Lancaster, daughter of John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster. With the victory at the Battle of Aljubarrota, John I was recognized as the undisputed King of Portugal, putting an end to the interregnum of the 1383–1385 Crisis. Recognition from Castile would arrive only in 1411, with the signature of the Treaty of Ayllón. The Treaty of Windsor established a pact of mutual support between the countries. This document is preserved at the Portuguese National Archives.[2]
Historian Matthew Winsett says, "This treaty has been the cornerstone of both nations' relations with each other ever since."[3]
In popular culture[edit]
In 1943 the Portuguese Government leased to Britain what became a major Allied air and naval base in the Portuguese islands, the Azores. Prime Minister Winston Churchill recounted reporting on the lease to the House of Commons:
"I have an announcement", I said, "to make to the House arising out of the treaty signed between this country and Portugal in the year 1373 between His Majesty King Edward III and King Ferdinand and Queen Eleanor of Portugal."[4] I spoke in a level voice, and made a pause to allow the House to take in the date, 1373. As this soaked in there was something like a gasp. I do not suppose any such continuity of relations between two Powers has ever been, or will ever be, set forth in the ordinary day-to-day work of British diplomacy.[5]

Reportedly intended as a "welcome" for Gen. David Petraeus, the newly appointed U.S. and NATO military chief in Afghanistan, Taliban fighters attacked the office of an American aid contractor in the northern part of the country, killing at least five people. —JCL
Al Jazeera English:
At least five people have been killed in an attack by Taliban fighters on the office of a US aid contractor in northern Afghanistan.
Armed men stormed the offices of Development Alternatives Inc (DAI) in Kunduz province early on Friday morning.
The attackers battled with Afghan police for more than five hours before police could secure the building and retrieve the bodies of the victims.
The US embassy in Kabul said that a German security guard was killed during the attack. Four other people, including two Afghan security guards, also died.

Berea is home to Baldwin-Wallace College as well as the training facility for the Cleveland Browns. Berea High School was founded in 1882 and was the first high school in the area. The town's symbol is a grindstone, a tribute to the many sandstone grindstones that came out of its quarries. Before concrete came into wide use, sandstone was a very important construction material, and huge amounts of it came from Berea, earning it the title of "The Grindstone Capital of the World." Several lakes in the area are quarry pits that have been allowed to fill with water. -- Source: Wikipedia.com

A.R.C.S., or the Angelo Rosiello and Roberto Carrrozzo Stream cipher,
is [...]
The authors hope that someone will try to break this cipher and
welcome all attempts and added research.
It is a simple stream cipher, with the key data generation done with
MD5; a 48-byte buffer is maintained, with each 16-byte subblock loaded
differently, based on MD5s of the key string and one of its
permutations. The MD5 of this buffer gives 16 bytes of data which is
XORed with to encrypt or decrypt (I would call this the "key data" for
the stream cipher, but there's already something I'm calling "key
data", so this is the "XOR data"). Then the first 16 bytes of the
48-byte buffer are reloaded, with half the bits coming from the 16
bytes of XOR data and half from one of the hashes of the key material;
the resulting 48-byte block is MD5ed to give 16 more bytes of XOR data.
Lather, rinse, repeat, for each 16 bytes of en/decryption. I've left
out details such as exactly how the key material is juggled for the
various hashes and how the reloading is done; see the code for them.
MD5ing 48 bytes for each 16 bytes of data strikes me as rather
expensive. Other than that, and aside from all the weaknesses common
to all stream ciphers (like, never use the same key for more than one
cleartext), this is resting all its strength on MD5's strength.
Probably good enough for low-security uses, though I'd want to make an
intensive study of MD5's weaknesses with respect to this particular
feedback mode before using it for anything major.
If you do use this algorithm, I strongly recommend against using the
supplied implementation. The code contains a buffer overrun if the key
is longer than 49 bytes, and a buffer underrun (storing before the
buffer) if it's shorter than 3 bytes; the supplied front-end checks for
too-short (it actually checks for <6, rather than the <3 necessary to
avoid the underrun), but not for too-long. And the ARCS() function
checks for neither, is incapable of crypting anything but files (for no
visible reason), opens its source file read/write even though it never
tries to write to it, compares pointer variables to zero with <= (!!),
has a number of minor inefficiencies and such that aren't really bugs,
and quite probably has other problems I missed in my quick once-over.
It badly needs to be reimplemented from the ground up, if it is to be
used at all.
I'm not going to try to break it myself; I give away enough unpaid
consulting time as it is - and for the effort this would involve, one
tee-shirt counts as "unpaid". (Also, I don't do contingency gigs
unless I think the chance of success is quite good, or the job is fun
enough that I don't really mind not getting paid.)

This article proposes a new Message Type Architecture to help manage the message formats in a SOA. The approach based on two related DSLs, one for the Enterprise Data Model and one for the Message Types, promotes reuse and helps aligning the Data and SOA governance processes.
Case Study: Success with SOA at CISCO
Harvinder Kalsi, lead architect at CISCO, shared artifacts, anecdotes and tips covering their four-step maturity process, major design concerns, and SOA platform at the last SOA consortium meeting. He also spoke about SOA success factors across people, process and technology dimensions, including the importance of business participation and business ownership of processes, policies and rules.
Horizontal and Vertical SOA Governance
Rick Sweeney shares his views on getting started with SOA Governance. The problem, he explains, is how do you transform a culturally entrenched legacy process of governance based in traditional "stove-pipe" application design to a process that achieves the benefits of SOA? His answer is to adopt a "horizontal" and "vertical" governance approach.
Article: SOA Contract Maturity Model
In this article, Kjell-Sverre Jerijærvi presents with enough detail Microsoft's SOA Maturity Model (SOAMM) which can be used to evaluate the maturity of a SOA implementation.
SOA Predictions for 2009
A number of SOA authors and analysts have been making their predictions for where SOA will be going in 2009. Common amongst them are the increasing use of small-scale bottom-up SOA developments, cloud meeting SOA (and maybe taking over some of its hype) and the adoption of open source as a way to cut costs as well as drive adoption.
Performance Reviews Banished
In the Wall Street Journal, Sam Culbert argues that annual performance and pay reviews are at best dysfunctional. He sees their primary purpose as "intimidation aimed at preserving the boss's authority and power advantage". Jeff Sutherland, Mary Poppendieck, ... offer alterantives
Can a Spoonful of Governance help SOA?
Does SOA Governance means to you "visions of endless meetings and committee reviews"? Steve Stefanovich argues that "You might already practice governance and don't even know it" and that "a reorientation and formalization of many of the things good software architects have been doing all along" might help your SOA initiative.
Implementing SOA Governance
In this article, Todd Biske, an Enterprise Architect working for a F500 company, provides his guidance to implement a successful SOA Governance organization. He recommends a 3 step process focused on policy definition and enforcement. He also provides his perspective on the role of a SOA Center of Excellence with respect to Governance.

HP Releases Systinet 3.0
HP announced the release of HP SOA Systinet 3.00, their SOA governance solution.
Results of a SOA Case Study competition show main ingredients for SOA success
The results of SOA case study competition, conducted by SOA Consortium and CIO magazine are showing common themes in SOA implementations. The include strengthening of business IT alliances as the main factor for implementation success and definitions of specific, confirmed by real numbers, business benefits, , as a measure of this success.
SOA Governance: Balancing Process and Agility
Mike Kavis suggests that "Implementing SOA without a solid governance model is the equivalent to having an airport without a control tower". In his latest article, he offers some guidelines to find the right balance between process and agility.
Overcoming Obstacles in Implementing SOA
In his new article, Jonathan Mack provides a first-hand insight on meeting SOA challenges from business, technology and organizational points of view. He defines key components of successful SOA, major implementation obstacles, and the ways to overcome them.

Sometimes, she fixes Frog & Toad cookies.
"I used to make the cookies frequently to bring to early book signing events and share them with the girls," she says.
The recipe follows, along with a brief excerpt from the story:
"My grandmother always told me that the way to a guy's heart is through his stomach. It just so happens that I have the recipe for Frog and Toad cookies." She said this as though Frog and Toad cookies were a well-known cure-all.
"Frog and Toad cookies?" Stacey asked.
"You know, Frog and Toad from the story books, first grade or so. They made these cookies that were so wonderful they couldn't stop eating them-remember?" Kristin began to talk rapidly and with sweeping hand gestures.
Her excitement was at least marginally contagious, because Stacey smiled for the first time that weekend. "I love that story!"
"Yeah, well so did my little brother. Mom read it to him dozens of times. One day, when he was like, five or six, he told mom how much he wanted try one of those cookies. My mom was instantly, like, well, I have the recipe. My brother was in awe. They disappeared into the kitchen and came back an hour later with these incredibly awesome cookies with like, five different kinds of chips.
From that day on, there was no problem that Frog and Toad cookies couldn't solve."

Andy Caress died in August 2010 after a battle with melanoma.
Before his death, he created a foundation to raise awareness and support education and research about the deadly cancer.
Proceeds from the Block the Sun Run will benefit the Andy Caress Melanoma Foundation.
The run, which begins at 11 a.m. at the village Square, is sponsored by Bob Roncker's Running Spot.
The $20 fee will include Block the Sun Run hats for the first 500 finishers.
No registration is needed for the kids race that immediately follows the 5K run, which was previously known as the Black Squirrel.
About 10 Glendale firefighters will participate in the 5K run, dressed in full gear.
"There are better ways to block the sunt han running ar in turnout gear," said Glendale Fire Chief Dave Moore, who will run on Saturday. "Sunscreen is the best way."
