This invention relates generally to telecommunications and more particularly to radio receivers used in mobile radiotelephone systems.
UHF and VHF mobile radiotelephone systems are used extensively throughout North America. Conventional two-way communications in these systems takes place between a mobile radiotelephone subscriber station and a central base station. Unlike the mobile station, the base station has the capability of simultaneous reception and transmission on all assigned frequency channels. The base station may also have several high power transmitters separated geographically. The use of geographically separated transmitters generally serves two purposes: it expands the system service area over a single transmitter location and it reduces the signal interference caused by signal blocking landmarks. It has been found, however, that such multiple transmitters can also cause problems for the mobile receivers.
Conventional mobile receivers automatically select the first idle frequency channel found in scanning the assigned frequency channels. If all frequency channels are located at a single base station transmitter, any frequency channel is as good or as poor as any other, so this selection procedure is more than adequate. But because signal strengths vary within a service area when multiple base transmitters are used, conventional mobile receivers will not necessarily select the best available frequency channel. And in the worst case, a conventional receiver can pick a frequency channel that is so marginal that the subscriber is left without service. This situation occurs when the mobile receiver selects a frequency channel that has sufficient idle tone present on the carrier signal for the receiver to recognize the channel as available. But due to non-reciprocity of carrier signals, the mobile transmitter is not able to access the terminal, and functionally the subscriber finds he is unable to communicate with the base.
It is an object of this invention to prevent a service interruption for a mobile subscriber due to a mobile receiver which selects marginal frequency channels.
It is a general object of this invention to provide apparatus to enable a mobile receiver to select the best available frequency channel wherever the subscriber happens to be located within the service area.
In a mobile radiotelephone system, apparatus is disclosed for selecting the particular idle frequency channel having the best signal-to-noise ratio. N different modulated carrier signals in each of N radio frequency channels are applied to a demodulating receiver which operates under the control of a switching circuit. The receiver produces at its output a succession of N different output signals, having idle and busy mutually exclusive states corresponding to the idle and busy states of the corresponding radio frequency channel. An idle and signal-to-noise detector, having a first input terminal, connects to the output of the receiver. This detector provides a first logic signal at a first output terminal when one of the receiver output signals concurrently exhibits an idle state and has at least a predetermined minimum signal-to-noise level. The detector provides a second logic signal at all other times.
The receiver output also connects to the input of a subscriber handset. At a second output terminal, the handset exhibits on-hook and off-hook mutually exclusive states which are sensed by a call-in-progress state detector. This state detector has an input which connects to the second output terminal, and also has a third output terminal providing an on-hook and off-hook output signal indicative of the on-hook and off-hook states respectively of the subscriber handset.
The receiver switching circuit referred to above, has an output and second and third input terminals, with the output adapted for connection to the receiver. The second input terminal connects to the first output terminal, and the third input terminal connects to the third output terminal. This switching circuit cyclically switches the receiver means to each of the N frequency channels in response to the second logic signal and further causes the receiver to remain at one of the N channels in response either to a first logic signal or to an off-hook signal.
And, a gain control circuit having an output and fourth and fifth input terminals is adapted for connection to the receiver. The fourth input terminal connects to the first output terminal, and the fifth input terminal connects to the third output terminal. The gain control circuit produces a control output signal which causes a decrease in the gain sensitivity of the receiver from a predetermined maximum gain to a predetermined minimum gain and thereafter causes an increase in gain sensitivity to the predetermined maximum. The gain increase occurs at a rate substantially slower than the rate of gain decrease so that the period of time required for the switching circuit to switch the receiver to each of the N frequency channels at least once is substantially greater than the time required for the gain sensitivity to increase from the minimum to the maximum. The control signal is produced in response to either a change in state of the detector output from a first logic signal to a second logic signal or in response to a predetermined timed interval after a change in the output state of the detector from a first logic signal to a second logic signal unless an off-hook output signal is produced by the call-in-progress detector. And, the gain control circuit is inhibited from generating the control output signal whenever an off-hook indication from the call-in-progress state detector is produced.
The single FIGURE is a block diagram of a mobile radiotelephone demodulating receiver which illustrates the principles of the present invention.
In order to avoid cluttering the description of this embodiment with unnecessary detail, much of the mobile subscriber station equipment is not illustrated in the FIGURE, e.g. the signaling equipment and power circuitry.
Referring to the single FIGURE, there is shown a mobile subscriber station which includes a UHF antenna 10, a mobile RF (radio frequency) transmitter 24, and a heterodyne type radio receiver, 11-23, 25-28. UHF antenna 10 is operatively arranged to receive and transmit RF modulated carrier signals. Duplexer 11 is a filter device that permits the use of a single RF antenna for both the transmit and receive functions of the subscriber station. Connected to duplexer 11 is RF transmitter 24 and RF filter 12. RF filter 12 is a frequency bandpass device which eliminates out-of-band noise by passing only the desired frequency spectrum. After being filtered, the received signal is amplified by a variable gain RF amplifier 13. An RF mixer 14, in conjunction with a local oscillator 20, selects the desired frequency channel by heterodyning the amplified RF signal to one of N IF (intermediate frequency) signals. IF section 15 normally consists of one or more bandpass filters which reject noise outside the IF band of interest. It could also include a narrow-band IF amplifier. And, in an FM (frequency modulated) carrier system, a limiter might advantageously be used to reduce amplitude-modulation distortion. This filtered IF signal is then passed to discriminator 16. The desired information is extracted by frequency discriminator 16 which converts frequency variations in the IF signal to amplitude variations. The modulation, being in an audio-frequency band, is then amplified by audio amplifier 17 and applied to subscriber handset 22.
In the particular radiotelephone system illustrated in the FIGURE, idle and busy channel marking is accomplished with in-band signaling tones of 1200 Hz and 300 Hz respectively. Being in-band signals, an idle and S/N (signal-to-noise) detector 18 can be coupled to the output of audio amplifier 17 to sense the presence or absence of these in-band signaling tones. Detector 18 also detects the noise in a frequency slot (e.g. 3 kHz to 4 kHz) so as to provide some measure of the quality of the particular frequency channel being received. The binary 1/0 output of detector 18 is applied to a number of circuits including channel control logic circuit 19. Logic circuit 19 controls the local oscillator frequency, via a data bus connection, and thereby indirectly determines the particular channel to be received. Logic circuit 19 also controls, via a data bus connection only partially shown, the frequency of transmitter 24.
A call-in-progress detector 23 detects the on-hook/off-hook states of the subscriber handset 22 and detects when the base station is calling the particular mobile station. (The signaling equipment necessary to interpret the signaling pulses is not shown in the drawing.) One of two outputs of detector 23 is connected to transmitter 24 to cause the transmitter to turn on when subscriber handset 22 is off-hook. An off-hook condition is treated as a request for service causing transmitter 24 to initiate the proper outpulsing. The second outut of detector 23 is applied to a number of circuits including channel control logic circuit 19. The signal from this second output acts to inhibit logic circuit 19 from switching the receive channel frequency when handset 22 is in an off-hook condition.
The detailed operation of the mobile station equipment thus far described is well known by those skilled in the art. Such equipment is commercially available from a number of manufacturers of radiotelephone systems, e.g. Rydax, Inc., P.O. Box 2368, San Rafael, Calif., supplies both the base station (terminal equipment) and the subscriber station (mobile transceiver). The remaining circuitry in the FIGURE which affects the channel selection operation of the mobile station will now be described.
As shown in the FIGURE, the output of ramp generator 21 connects to RF amplifier 13. In a normal steady state operation, the output voltage of ramp generator 21 remains constant, e.g. 9 V (volts). When activated, ramp generator 21 affects the DC supply voltage of amplifier 13 causing it to drop almost immediately to a predetermined minimum, e.g. from 9 V to 1 V. Then the supply voltage is allowed to slowly rise from the minimum to the maximum voltage, e.g. 1 V to 9 V. By varying the voltage in such manner, a wide change in receiver gain sensitivity can be obtained (approximately 30 dB).
Generally the idle frequency channel having the greatest signal strength (i.e. highest S/N ratio) is also the best frequency channel in a given area. The present invention takes advantage of this relationship by providing a circuitry which recognizes this "best" signal and then bases its frequency selection on this information. When activated by the proper digital input, generator 21 causes amplifier 13 to reduce the receiver gain sensitivity as explained above. As the gain slowly rises, the channel control logic circuit 19 switches the demodulator circuitry (20, 14, and 15) through each of the assigned channel frequencies. The control logic switching rate is sufficiently rapid (two complete scans/second) and the gain increase sufficiently gradual (over 10 seconds from minimum to maximum) so that the first idle frequency channel detected necessarily will be the "best" frequency channel available.
Logic gates 25, 27, and 28 and timer 26 control when ramp generator 21 is activated. Both OR gates 25 and 27 will produce a binary 1 output when either or both inputs is a binary 1. Such a binary 1 from OR 25 will inhibit timer 26 from producing a momentary binary 1 at its output and will cause the timer circuit to be reset to a zero state. The functional operation of OR gate 25 and timer 26 will be explained later. AND gate 28 will have a binary 1 output when the input from OR gate 27 is a binary 1 and the other input is a binary 0. Ramp generator 21 will trigger on the leading edge of a binary 1 so that only a momentary 1 will cause the ramp voltage to be generated.
The conditions which will trigger generator 21 and the sequence of events that follow will now be described. If a call is not in progress, detector 23 will place a binary 0 on the inhibit input to AND gate 28, one input of OR gate 25, and the inhibit input to control logic circuit 19. If the frequency channel to which the receiver is locked onto goes busy or becomes unacceptably noisy, detector 18 changes from a binary 0 to a binary 1 output. The "alarm" indication passes through OR gate 27 and AND gate 28 to trigger ramp generator 21 which in turn reduces the receiver gain sensitivity. Also control logic 19 is activated, by the detector's change of state, causing the assigned channels to be sequentially scanned for the idle signaling tone and noise content. When the acceptable frequency channel is found, detector 18 changes back to a binary 0 output thereby causing the channel control logic circuit to hold LO 20 on that particular frequency channel. The gain sensitivity is subsequently allowed to increase to the maximum level. In the event that the gain increases to the maximum before a frequency channel is found, the gain sensitivity is not recycled since all frequency channels having acceptable noise must be in use. The first frequency channel to become available will atomatically be the "best" frequency channel since it will be the only frequency channel not in use.
The call-in-progress detector 23 inhibits the channel control logic 19 and through AND gate 28 ramp generator 21. The purpose of these two inhibiting signals is to prevent the receiver gain from changing while a call is in progress and to prevent the receiver from switching frequency channels while a call is in progress. Otherwise when a call was established with the local subscriber, the receive frequency channel being in use would be marked busy. Detector 18, sensing the loss of idle, would initiate a new search for an idle frequency channel and drop the gain to the minimum level. Such a sequence is clearly disruptive of expected operation and is, therefore, prevented by the call-in-progress detector 23.
Timer 26 adds another very useful feature to the frequency channel selection scheme. By periodically rescanning the frequency channels, the selection process periodically checks the selection previously made. When the mobile subscriber travels within the service area, the "best" frequency channel may also change even though all other conditions remain the same. However, unless the selection is periodically checked, the receiver has no way of determining that the particular frequency channel is no longer the "best" frequency channel. Once detector 18 senses an idle frequency channel with acceptable S/N, the channel control logic locks the LO onto that particular frequency channel until there is a loss of idle tone or the frequency channel becomes noisy. Before the frequency channel becomes unusable due to a change in location, it is necessary to recheck the previous selection. A new search should be initiated within a predetermined time period (e.g. 100 seconds) after the previous selection has been made.
The ramp generator 21 is periodically triggered through gates 28 and 27 by the output pulse of timer 26. This forces the gain sensitivity to drop which results in the S/N of all frequency channels to be unacceptable. Detector 18 then commands the channel control logic to switch LO 20 through the various frequency channels. As the gain sensitivity slowly increases, the "best" frequency channel for the new location will be the first one detected by detector 18.
It is desirable not to trigger a change in gain initiated by timer 26 when an acceptable idle frequency channel cannot be found or when a call is in progress. The output of OR gate 25 inhibits timer 26 if either of these events occurs.
Thus while the present invention has been described with reference to a specific embodiment, numerous modifications will suggest themselves to those of ordinary skill in the art. For example, there are any number of ways the gain sensitivity of a receiver could be changed to accomplish the same result as described above. Instead of using RF amplifier 13 in the manner described, a variable RF attenuator could be used equally well. The invention described herein is also not limited to a particular modulation scheme. Any form of modulation could be used (e.g. AM) equally well. It is also not limited to a particular band of frequencies.

2 shot while working on a car in drive-by shooting in Santa Ana
SANTA ANA – Three people were working on repairing a car Thursday night in Santa Ana when bullets began to fly around them, injuring two, police said.
Santa Ana police responded to reports of a shooting around 9:15 p.m. in the 1300 block of South Rita Avenue.
Three people were outside a house working on a car in the driveway when at least one person, possibly in a light-colored car, began firing at least one gun, police Sgt. Don Humphrey said.
One person was shot multiple times and another person was shot once. Both were taken to a hospital where they are expected to survive their injuries, Humphrey said.
Anyone with information about the shooting can make an anonymous tip through the Orange County Crime Stoppers at 1-855-TIP-OCCS or online at occrimestoppers.org. Tips that lead to the arrest and conviction can lead to a reward of up to $1,000.

Testimony by Natasha Anastasia Tarpley
Book DescriptionIn Testimony for the first time young African-Americans across the country express their own understandings of their generation's shared experiences - from racism in school to the politics of hair. One student considers the dynamics between Black men and women as he explores his own relationships; another writes of her decision to attend a women's college and the importance of women role models in her development. Others discuss the influence of Malcolm X and the impact of the Rodney King verdict on their lives. Through their compelling poetry and prose these student writers claim identities from fragmented lives, embrace themselves, and resurrect their spirits.

US Kirkus Review » A spirited collection of more than 50 short writings by African-American college students. The strength of this distinct collection, edited by essayist, poet, and law student Tarpley, lies in the variety of voices presented. In essays, fiction, and poetry, young African-Americans grapple with a wide gamut of issues ranging from growing up gay in a racist, homophobic society to attempting to resolve the tensions within their own communities. The most effective writings are those that don't usually make their way into the mainstream press. In "Pimp 4 Life," San Francisco State University film student Lichelli Lazar-Lea writes graphically about the misogyny she faces as an active member of the Bay Area Hip Hop community. She ends by urging her sisters to value themselves enough to stop competing with one another over men who disdain them. "We are treating brothers like boys if we allow them to disrespect us, and they are definitely not boys, even though racist society teaches them that they are." In another rarely aired issue, Sarah Van't Hul describes growing us as an adopted black child in a white family in Ann Arbor, Mich. She experienced sometimes cruel rejection from blacks and whites; she shares unusual insights about both worlds and condemns the Black Social Workers Association for depriving many children of loving homes in advocating that whites no longer be allowed to adopt black children. UCLA graduate student Michael Datcher writes movingly about "his" L.A. and the police brutality that he and other blacks have known for too long. In this, as in other pieces, the chasm between white and black sensibilities is disturbingly apparent. Most of the voices are fresh and authentic - so much so that a glossary of slang would have helped readers appreciate the rap-related pieces. Some of the essays verge on polemics, and not all of the poems are accessible, but this book is a valuable eye-opener for anyone who wants to know "what time it is." (Kirkus Reviews)

Canvas is a heavy-duty fabric weave that has been used for centuries. Canvas fabrics have been used to make boat sails, tents, tarps, handbags and even air bags in vehicles. Canvas can be made out of a wide variety of materials, each with its own set of properties.
Cotton Canvas Fabric
One of the most common types of canvas fabric is made out of cotton. According to Sin Seng Guan & Co., a textile manufacturer, cotton canvas is a medium-strength fabric that is between 10 and 20 times stronger when wet opposed to dry. Untreated cotton canvas fabrics are absorbent and the fibers will swell as a result. The canvas is slow to dry. Because it absorbs water, the fabric is susceptible to mildew and molds. The fabric is also very flammable. Additional chemicals can be added to help waterproof and reduce the flammability of the fabric.
Linen Canvas Fabric
Linen is another type of natural fiber than can be woven into canvas fabric. According to the Textile Furnishings website, linen is two to three times stronger than cotton. Linen is also considered the least elastic of all natural fibers, meaning that once stretched, it will not return to its original size. The linen canvas is also highly absorbent and wrinkles very easily, which is similar to cotton. Linen canvas is a popular type of art canvas used by professional artists, according to the Cheap Joes website.
Hemp Canvas Fabric
According to the Hemphasis website, the word canvas derived from the word cannabis. Hemp, which was popular as a rope-making material, can also be woven into canvas fabric. Hemp canvas has multiple advantages over cotton canvas, including its resistance to mildew, rot and light. Hemp canvas is also known to actively repel insects. Hemp fibers are very elastic and can withstand higher temperatures than cotton without degradation.
Synthetic Fibers
Canvas fabric can also be made out of synthetic fibers. These canvas weaves can be completely synthetic or a blend with natural fibers. The advantages of synthetic fibers includes the ability to make lightweight canvases with better mildew, rot and water resistance properties than any of the natural fibers available. The synthetic fiber canvas fabric can also be used for heavy-duty purposes. Common types of synthetic fibers used to create canvas fabrics include polyester and nylon.

The New Ethics Of Hunting
Published: January 10, 1993
To the Sports Editor:
"Subtracting the Hunt and Adding Recklessness," (The Times, Jan. 3) by Robert F. Jones has an all too familiar lament even for me living in south-central Idaho.
The fall hunting season has been a rite of passage for generations of Idahoans, my wife included. During these years, there was an ethical rule of sportsmanly behavior for the "fair chase." Like everything else, times have changed, often not for the better.
In the new ethics, a minority of intoxicated "sportsmen" with six-packs as seat companions, prowl the old logging roads in pickups ready to blast anything that might have legs. If this wanton greed is not satisfied in the woods, then frustration is relieved on road signs and on occasion, farms and idle farm machinery on the way home.
My wife gave up hunting in disgust years ago when a local schoolgirl was mistaken for a deer while waiting for a bus on a rural country road. Today, this young lady is alive but maimed for the rest of her life.
It's not gun restriction we need. It's the restriction of users, abusers and crazies. ANTHONY V. SANTOS Jerome, Idaho

It's looking more and more likely that the HTC Puccini, HTC's first Honeycomb tablet, will launch with the same Scribe support that the Flyer did. New photos have appeared on HTCDev.com, HTC's new developer portal, showing on-screen Scribe pen controls and doodles on top of Honeycomb. We're happy that HTC was able to successfully integrate this technology into a modern version of Android as we believe Scribe is one of the coolest things ever. Now, we just need them to actually announce the thing – it's already been leaked to no end. [via Android Central]

Music Gear News
Acoustic guitar player Bert Jansch has died
A founding member of the band Pentangle, Jansch was a celebrated folk star whose ability on the acoustic guitar was respected around the world.
He was a hugely influential guitar player, inspiring music stars like Graham Coxon from Blur, Pete Doherty, Jimmy Page and Johnny Marr, who used to play guitar in The Smiths.
Marr told BBC Radio 6: "He really was the king of the beatnik troubadours and no one ever tried to usurp that.
"As a person he exuded a secret wisdom. Getting to play with him...was an absolute privilege."
His time with Pentangle lasted six years, from 1967 to 1973, during which they produced their big hit Light Flight.
Black Swan, which was released in 2006, was his last studio album.
Speaking to the BBC, Pentangle Jacqui McShee said: "He will be so missed. We've got his music but I shall miss him as a friend."
A popular musician, he recorded music with Babyshambles and popped up last year at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festival for a performance.

The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland is good, for those who play, follow and love rock music but let's be honest, that's largely pop culture and from day one hip hop has been its own culture (just like Rock N Roll was intially), hence why it was created. So many quality, smart and innovative hip hop artists will never be included in the halls of the Cleveland institution because they didn't cross over in to pop or make enough noise in hip hop to warrant cross cultural attention.
Yes Public Enemy got in the Rock Hall last year but their music (and message), was as they would say "was louder than bomb", you simply couldn't ignore them or current nominee N.W.A.
But what about Eric B. & Rakim? Most hip hop heads will tell Rakim is one of the top five MCs to ever touch a mic, same goes for Nas, and include Big Daddy Kane in that club. Top shelf artists who changed the game but might not garner a ton of attention outside of the hip hop realm.
We as hip hop fans can't keep waiting for the rock hall to honor our pioneers and heroes, yes LL Cool J is on the ballot for the rock hall this year but so many of his contemporaries need to be acknowledged too. How can you have LL and not have his nemesis Kool Moe Dee?
It's the same as the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in Talladega Alabama and the recently opened NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, North Carolina. One honors the biggest and best names in the entire racing genre; the other celebrates those who were legends in one specific kind of racing. There is a need, love and following for both, so that all who were great can get their due. Now true some people may be in both because they were genre bending and simply on an elite level, but that doesn't mean others who were dominating in their field can't get their propers too.
Hip hop is no different, you have some rock influenced music like Run DMC & Beastie Boys but the key is in the late 80's hip hop really came into its own and that needs to be celebrated as well as taught.
Most hip hop is at its best when it's fairly raw & unpolished, so many artists who the mainstream music media might not give a lot of love to are the very reason a hip hop hall has to be created. Artists like Boogie Down Productions (which featured KRS-1 and the late Scott LaRock), The Geto Boys (which brought us Scarface, Bushwick Bill & syndicated advice columnist Willie D), Too Short, MJG & 8 Ball and local legends Twista & Common. These cats have put in decades of work, pioneered their styles and put their cities on the map deserve recognition for their efforts, success and blazing the trail for new cats.
Any hall of fame isn't just about just honoring past icons, it's about teaching the history of that genre and even talking about those who are great right now. Hip hop has a solid 30 year history as mainstream music and add another five since the first legit hit record (Rapper's Delight by the Sugar Hill Gang). This needs to be documented and posted so the past of the culture can be passed down since many hip hop fans weren't even born in the genre's infancy.
Now where should this hall be located? Well New York City and I'm sure people from all five boroughs will put their two cents in on which one but because of so many early hip hop artists hail from Queens, Hollis Queens to be exact.
The hall should be like hip hop and have directional corridors for each section, east coast, west siide, down south and of course midwest.
Also there needs to be a section dedicated to the influences that made hip hop like Motown, jazz & blues as well as the influences hip hop as made on society.
And to be included are some of the iconic hip hop memorobila of the last 30 years, phat gold ropes, Nike shoes, Jeep Grand Cherokees and individual artifacts from various artists and shows.
Lastly there has to be a "Dead Homies" corridor that honors those artists no longer with us and that list is significant with 2Pac, Notorious BIG, Big Pun, Big L, Eazy E and others.
So this is not against the Rock Hall but just so the historical & culutral significance of is not lost, forgotten or taken for granted.

Laser Hair Removal Really Turns Up The Heat
Since its arrival in the 1990s, laser hair removal has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the world. It targets specific areas of a person's body with laser pulses, the energy of which is absorbed by the melanin molecules in hairs. This essentially overheats and damages the cells in the hair's follicle, preventing it from regrowing. The laser light has to be of an optimal wavelength to prevent its absorption by other molecules in the surrounding skin, which could cause burns.

Understanding your mammogram report is important, whether it says "no sign of cancer" or it indicates that changes have occurred which need follow-up. Your mammogram report will have several kinds of information on it, much of it expressed in medical terms. Discuss your results with your doctor to make sure you understand what it means for your breast health.

Waiting for the Results:

You can expect to get a written report in the mail within 30 days of the mammogram. When you arrive for your appointment, check at the desk to be sure that the office has your most current address and phone number. Your doctor also will receive a copy of the report.

Information that Appears on Your Mammogram Report:

patient information

medical history

procedures

findings

impression (BIRADS classification)

recommendation for further tests, if needed

Findings -- the Critical Information on Your Mammogram:

The findings section is a list of things found on a radiologist's reading of your mammogram. If you have nothing of concern and all appears well, it will be assessed as normal or negative or benign (not cancerous). If the radiologist sees anything that causes concern or appears abnormal, or is a change from your previous mammogram, it will be assessed as suspicious or abnormal, or suggestive of malignancy (cancerous).

Descriptions of Abnormalities:

If you have abnormalities or changes on your mammogram, some details will be included in the report. These details can include:

size of the finding

location

shape or outline

density of breast tissue

Warning Signs of Breast Cancer:

Lumps and bumps and other abnormalities may be described with these terms, if the radiologist thinks you may have breast cancer:

clustered calcifications, microcalcifications

spiculated mass (spiky lump)

assymetrical density of breast tissue

skin thickening

 retraction (skin or nipple pulling inwards)

focal distortion (something is pressing on tissue)

Impressions From Your Radiologist:

Your mammogram report may include a Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System - BIRADS classification, which is a number that indicates your radiologist's overall impression of your mammogram. The scale for BIRADS goes from one to five, with higher numbers indicating a greater possibility of breast cancer.

Possible Recommendations For Follow-Up:

Your radiologist may make some recommendations based on your mammogram results. The kinds of follow-up that may be needed are:

no other studies needed

three-month or six-month follow-up imaging

spot views

magnification

diagnostic mammogram

 breast ultrasound (for lumps and masses)

 biopsy (for a tissue sample)

Be Sure You Understand Your Results:

If your mammogram report states anything other than normal or negative (clear of cancer), please discuss it with your doctor. Research has shown that although 70 percent of patients clearly understand a normal mammogram result, 50 percent of patients who have an abnormal result do not understand what it means. This study also showed that a patient showed the best understanding of a mammogram when the results were explained in person or on the phone, by a health professional. Follow-up tests can clear up results, and give you a plan of action to protect your breast health.

Saturday's Fountain of Youth Stakes (gr. II) at Gulfstream Park will mark the first time First Samurai has traveled two turns and has gone 1 1/8 miles, but neither factor has trainer Frankie Brothers too concerned. Brothers is confident in First Samurai's ability to get the distance and his ability to negotiate two turns. "The proof is always in the pudding," Brothers said Tuesday during a National Thoroughbred Racing Association teleconference. "Any time you have a young horse and you're going to go two turns, especially 1 1/8 miles, there's a little bit of a gray area on whether or not they can run that far both mentally and physically."Brothers conditions the son of Giant's Causeway for Bruce Lunsford and Lansdon Robbins III.A field of 10 is expected for the Fountain of Youth.First Samurai geared up for his date in the Fountain of Youth with a mile work in 1:37 3/5 Feb. 24 at Gulfstream Park with Brothers' wife, former jockey Donna Barton Brothers, in the saddle. The two-time grade I winner carved out fractions of :49 2/5, 1:01 3/5, and 1:13 3/5. Clockers caught him galloping out a mile and an eighth in 1:53 3/5.After a strong third-place effort in the Bessemer Trust Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) at Belmont Park Oct. 29, First Samurai began his march toward the Triple Crown with a second-place effort, beaten 1 1/4 lengths by Keyed Entry, in the 7 1/2-furlong Hutcheson Stakes (gr. II) Feb. 4. Despite falling short in the Hutcheson, Brothers was pleased with his charge's effort off the bench. "You're always in it to win it, but I thought the horse did everything right and he ran as hard as he could. He did everything he could do except win" the trainer said. "I was very happy with the race off the bench. It was an exciting and brilliant 3-year-old that out run him, but I thought my horse ran well. I've just got to be happy with it. He did everything except win."
