Episode 3 just served up a big reminder to Star Trek of the sort of thing it used to do well, tackle difficult social issues straight on. Gender identity, social acceptance, parameters of consent to name a few. Not preachy and often humorous because using words to lighten a subject doesn't mean you take that subject lightly. Seth MacFarlane is dangerously close to stealing the crown from the stumbling Trek franchise here.
The season finale was absolutely great up to the last few minutes ...still looking forward to season 4 though.
why is she wearing the same red pant-suit in every episode?

@Kyndryd I think Kai (Evan Peters) is trying to start a kind of cult. He's ramping up everybody's fear then taking it away. They follow him because he's like a god to them.
and now anyone can walk onto/into an acitve crime scene. smh
has anyone figured out why the season is called "Cult"? Sarah Poulsn is absolutely SUPERB.

HOUSTON - A woman died on an international flight that landed in Houston on Wednesday.
Houston police said the 25-year-old woman walked out of a lavatory then collapsed on American Airlines flight 962 from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
A doctor on board tried to save the woman's life, but it was too late. The woman died on the plane.
The plane, which was headed to Dallas, was diverted to Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston and landed shortly after 6:30 a.m.
An autopsy will determine the cause of the woman's death. Her name has not been released.
Police said the flight continued on to Dallas more than two hours later and landed at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport shortly before 10:30 a.m.
Federal law requires a defibrillator on every flight with a maximum payload capacity of 7,500 pounds, a rule that covers major airliners, Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown said. It also requires flight attendants to have CPR and defibrillator training at least once every two years.
Spokesman Matt Miller said every American flight has an extensive medical kit and an automated external defibrillator. Flight attendants must complete annual CPR and medical training approved by the FAA, he said.
In addition, American is one of the few airlines with trained medical professionals on staff, Miller said. Doctors are on call 24 hours a day and available to work with flight crews.
While onboard deaths are not unheard of, it's not clear how many there are. The FAA does not keep track, Brown said.
A Vanderbilt University study published in 2003 based on a review of an unidentified major airline showed 1.52 "medical diversions" for every billion passenger miles flown. Another study published the same year from George Washington University put the number of deaths at one unidentified airline for all of 1999 at 0.1 per million passengers.

2013 Lotus Greater China Races
Lotus first competed for honours at the Macau Grand Prix in 1959 and upon that foundation went on to win five successive championships in the early sixties.
In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Macau Grand Prix, this year's event will be a two-weekend Diamond Jubilee celebration with the first weekend set for November 9th - 10th and the second from 14th - 17th November. Lotus Hong Kong is proud to announce it has been invited to organize the first ever 'Lotus Greater China Race' which will take place on the renowned Guia street circuit alongside the three headline events, including the F3 Grand Prix itself.
In preparation for the main event, there will be a series of track days and training sessions at the prestigious Guangdong International Circuit at Da Wang, Sihui, in Zhaoqing City, just outside the provincial capital of Guangzhou in southern China. Two qualification races will also be held at this track.
In keeping with the 'Greater China' title, drivers from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) will be invited to compete against some of their Asian counterparts. In order to ensure a level playing field for competition, all vehicles will be equipped and modified to the same specification and fitted with the same racing tyres.
The one-make emphasis on the race precludes any modifications to the chassis or engine so all participants will be essentially driving the same Lotus Elise 1.6 Club Racer.
Lotus Hong Kong has ambitious plans for building on this year's inaugural programme with a one-make Asian series that will take place in several countries in 2014.
Further information on the Greater China Race, entry requirements or sponsorship can be obtained from Lotus Hong Kong.
In 1964 Royal Hong Kong Police Inspector, Albert Poon won the Grand Prix, with his Lotus Type 23. Albert is now aged 77, still an excellent and competitive driver and will race this years Lotus Greater China Road Race – 49 years on from when he won the Macau GP. He is a real legend in motorsport. Racing alongside Albert will be Kevin Chen (ex-WTCC), Michael Ho (ex-Macau F3), Nattavude (Thai GT Bike Racer) and Nattavude's eighteen-year-old daughter, Nat Jun.

But what about Christ's teachings regarding a creator God? What about Hinduism's teachings of the Atman, or Muhammad's teachings about violence? Although most religions have, at their core, a message of compassion and love, they also have important differences; in fact, many central tenants of the world's major religions are diametrically opposed to what the Buddha taught.

Work on a one-way system aimed at easing Keighley town centre's chronic traffic congestion WILL start next year.
The top-level pledge was given exclusively to the Keighley News this week following concerns that the jam-busting project could be forced off the road.
Highways boss Val Slater has confirmed that Bradford Council has ring-fenced the budget for the £1.5 million initiative.
She admitted there had been complications with the plans to create a one-way triangle in Hanover Street, Cavendish Street and East Parade.
But she said the council's highways engineers were currently drawing up blueprints ready for public consultation.
Coun Slater spoke to the Keighley News after concerns were raised about the scheme at Keighley Town Centre Association. District councillor Andrew Mallinson said he was "absolutely appalled" at the lack of information coming from Bradford Council.
He said. "I've heard of no meetings, no discussions, and the project seems to be completely derailed.
"What we need is clarity. This scheme could bring huge benefits, but if it's done wrong it will be a nightmare for the town."
Coun Slater, who is responsible for transport and planning on Bradford's ruling executive, this week told us: "We've certainly got the money. We are aiming to start in 2015.
"The next thing will be to come out and consult people, especially businesses who are going to be affected.
"The situation is very complicated because it's very much tied in with other schemes."
Some funding for the one-way scheme is due to come from the company behind plans to build the Worth Valley Shopping Centre in East Parade. The site has been prepared for construction but no start date has been announced.
The one-way system will also tie in with plans to turn Hard Ings Road into a dual carriageway, once government approval is given.
Coun Slater said that although the Hard Ings Road scheme would be constructed the year after the one-way system, highways engineers would design them in tandem.
She said preparation work on all of Bradford's major schemes have been affected by a reduction in highways engineers caused by government spending cuts.
Steve Seymour, chairman of Keighley Town Centre Association and manager of the Airedale Shopping Centre, said association members were looking forward to hearing a date for the consultation.
He added: "We've offered to put the information in the shopping centre, with a shop window display and space on the mall for council officers to talk to people."

Lieutenant Governor Tours Fairfax County Facilities
Fairfax County Office of Public
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
March 9, 2005
Lieutenant Governor Tours Fairfax County Facilities
Lieutenant Governor Timothy M. Kaine today toured Fairfax County's Alternate Emergency Operations Center, data center and GIS offices, all located on the first floor of the Fairfax County Government Center.
The AEOC, funded with federal and state grants for 80 percent of its costs, is a 4,000 square feet state-of-the-art facility including a six-display projection system; seating arrangements for 60 staff members; robust 120-line, redundant telephone system; and separate conference and radio rooms. The AEOC is located adjacent to the data center. During emergencies, the county government directs emergency response operations from the AEOC.
The county's GIS platform provides extensive geographically based information supporting virtually every county agency.
These county facilities deliver quality and innovative information technology solutions to provide citizens, the business community and county staff with direct access to appropriate information and services. Discussion today centered on the continuing partnership between the state and Fairfax County, working together in information technology to provide more effective and efficient government services.
Like many governments that are faced with growth in demand for services and a difficult economy, the county is faced with major challenges and opportunities, caused by expectations to use technology to accomplish their daily tasks. Yet, with continuing state and federal unfunded mandates, it has become increasingly harder for local taxpayers to cover the fiscal burden of federal and state laws and regulations as the county invests in technology to make the government more efficient and provide better services to the public.
Fairfax County spent more than $540 million to comply with federal mandates in fiscal year 2004, or approximately 21 percent of the county's General Fund. The federal government only reimbursed part of that amount, leaving local taxpayers a bill of $395 million, or 73 percent of the cost.
"Mandates have to be met," Fairfax Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerald E. Connolly said. "But there is also a need to fund important local services as well as provide taxpayer relief. I'm pleased that Lieutenant Governor Kaine today has seen the fine services and facilities that we offer, since the state government plays an important role in our ability to provide our citizens and business community with high quality services. The state can assist in this effort by providing us the same revenue options as cities and towns in the Commonwealth to lessen our reliance on real estate taxes, as well as by opposing the creation of new unfunded mandates."

Juliet and Lowell are best friends. Well, until this year, when Lowell started hanging out with Mike, Tommy & Bruce doing things they are sure a girly girl won't like. Juliet is so mad at Lowell – her FORMER best friend. She finds some kindred spirits in Patsy, Annette, & Linda. The other girls are none too happy about being labelled scaredy-cat sissies either who only have tea parties and won't get dirty.
The kids get in a verbal war over just what "girl stuff" and "boy stuff" is. The boys are sure that "girl stuff" means painting fingernails, NOT go-carts. The girls think they can paint anything, including go-carts.
Juliet: "We ride bikes and we play baseball and we run just as fast as boys do."
Patsy: "You don't know what you're talking about! Girls can do anything boys can do! At least I can!" (page 59)
The kids agree on a nine day contest, boys versus girls. Each day is a different challenge and whichever side wins the most challenges wins the contest. As the days go by the challenges get harder and harder; the kids daring each other to push themselves to the edge of their abilities…and their courage. Author: Ellen Wittlinger

Rangers to face hot-hitting Napoli during weekend series
ARLINGTON -- The Rangers have a three-game series with the Red Sox starting on Friday at the Ballpark in Arlington and that means another reunion with a former teammate. Mike Napoli is coming to town, and he is swinging a hot bat.
Left-hander Derek Holland will get the first crack when he starts on Friday night. Napoli is 3-for-6 with a home run in his career against Holland.
"I have been joking around with him about it," Holland said. "We've been texting back and forth. I miss him as a teammate, but now he's on the other side, so who cares about him?"
Napoli, who signed a one-year deal with the Red Sox in the offseason, went into Thursday's game with the Blue Jays hitting .287 with a .342 on-base percentage and a .602 slugging percentage. In 27 games and 108 at-bats, he has 14 doubles, six home runs and 31 RBIs. He was leading the American League in doubles, extra-base hits and RBIs.
Rangers manager Ron Washington said Napoli is healthy again, he is taking advantage of the dimensions of Fenway Park that favor right-handed hitters and he is also hitting the ball to the opposite field again.
"You look at the configuration of that ballpark, he has hit a ton of balls that have been off the [left-field] wall or over the wall that didn't do anything here," Washington said. "He's comfortable. He never got comfortable here last year. I don't know if it was all the injuries, but he's certainly healthy again.
"He's also hitting to the opposite field. The year before, when he had that big year for us, he was hitting the ball all over the place. Last year he just couldn't go the opposite way. The Red Sox knew what they were doing. Even when he was struggling he hit the ball well [at Fenway]."

Nutrition is an important aspect of building a competitive football team, so the Mississippi Cattlemen's Association is happy to sponsor a steak dinner for the team to learn about protein before it ends up on their plates.
The annual Beefing Up the Bulldogs introduces members of the Mississippi State University football team to agriculture with a meal, ag-themed competitions and live farm animals. This year's dinner is the third annual event and something the players look forward to each year.
Players dine on steak, milk and ice cream produced on campus before learning about beef and dairy production from industry experts.
Players have a chance to play with a dairy cow and calf. The event also includes a milking competition and a hay bale throwing competition.
Event sponsors encourage participants to share their experiences with fellow students and fans to promote nutrition and the state's beef and dairy industries. MSU assistant herdsman J.B. Gardner says he enjoys the event as much as the players do.
"We milk every single day, so it's fun to see the players having a good time playing with the cows and trying to milk one," Gardner said. "Getting to talk with them and share some of what we do is a great experience for everyone."
The event is sponsored by Mississippi Cattlemen's Association, the Mississippi Beef Council, First South Farm Credit and MSU's Animal and Dairy Sciences Department.
Mississippi State University is a week away from its first game of the season against Oklahoma State on Aug. 31.

Just need one of the next two...
Drop down to the 5th seed. Nothing to panic about. Team just needs to respond and get one of the next two and then do what they should be expected to do in Feb. If they don't do that, then you can panic.
Danny's scoring would help a lot on the road. We would have at least been in striking distance in the 4th I think.
Our PGs got hosed by Lillard tonight
Ironic that I'm saying that regarding a rookie player
follow me @TruenoPanda - lets talk Pacers!
You have to think that jet lag might be a factor for our sluggishness on defense and inability to react to their fast paced jump shooting offense.
To go from playing a 1pm game to playing what is a 10pm game on the other side of the country for Pacers players with only 1 day in between is pretty rough, even considering they get 1 day of "rest."
Lillard is gonna be awesome.
Oh no, don't let vnzla call it a schedule loss.
This was not a schedule loss. They got into Portland Monday night and it is only a two hour difference from Memphis.
I feel like that's happening more and more often. If he's not getting a lot of pass deflections, Hill has kind of turned into a lazy defensive player this year. He is routinely getting beaten on the defensive end, which is far different than his game last year.
I'm not sure if I want Hill to push the tempo with the hopes of getting a better percentage shot for our guys or continue to initiate the offense with 16 seconds left and slow down the pace of the game completely.
Lance and Hill have played below their abilities for a couple games now. I also feel like some guys allow bad calls to affect the way they play way too much.
Annoying loss tonight, but then again, what loss isn't?
No reason to panic. These kind of games happen.
Super Bowl XLI Champions
2000 Eastern Conference Champions
To be fair, Hill isn't exactly a point guard.
But it's 3 hours difference from here, and it doesn't change the fact that they have to flip their daily routine 9 hours in a span of 2 days.
I didn't say it was a schedule loss, I was saying it provided a fatigue difficulty that resulted in slow reactions most of the game on defense. There are no such things as schedule losses.
This team has lost a couple games because they let the refs get in their heads.
^on the other hand, i doubt the guys are in bed by 10 pm normally.
Also, I am really glad with what Lance has given us, but there are a couple things to remember, first he's still definitely a bench player, and secondly a big reason for why it has been so nice watching him is that it has meant not watching Gerald Green. Lance is still a really flawed young player learning his way. Much better and more calm than I ever thought he would be, but still a very flawed player. 40 minutes for him tonight? That shows how thin we are on the wing.
This team would be so much better if Hill and Hibbert actually played up to their contracts. We basically have 20 million of worthless players at the moment. You can add in Granger since hes injured so that would be 32 million.
Now we're back to the 5th seed, Bulls are ahead of us and keep on winning these close games, really bugs me a lot.
And if being the 5th seed will rob West or George from an all star spot for Deng or some other player, that would be annoying.
The Blazers are a young and quick team while the Pacers are slow on the front court, teams like the Blazers would always be the Pacers weakness, the bad news is that they are playing two similar teams in the next two games.
Hibbert and Hill....worthless. Fantastic. I love this board after losses. So much good comedy going on.
When you expect this team to win on the road they lose, when you expect them to lose they win. Lets keep it up?
Bad time to lose especially when the competitors in the East have won their games today. Anyway, time to move on from this one and just get ready for the next game.
Lillard and Aldridge were unstoppable today. And those offensive fouls really hurt our chances to get back.
Lillard,Aldridge Hickson combined to shoot 28/43. Our D just wasn't there tonight.
I certainly respect your passion for this team, but I really don't understand how you can consider yourself a realist.
follow me @TruenoPanda - lets talk Pacers!
follow me @TruenoPanda - lets talk Pacers!
There's a guy on the Knicks realgm board that says he's a realest and that Lin would average 23/11 or something crazy like that this year.

The arm of a lumbering, metal crane hovers above the Carmel Mission Basilica. Stacks of 70-year-old orange clay tiles are piling up on the scaffolding. In a matter of days, there will be a plastic covering over the landmark.
The seismic retrofit of the basilica, a $7 million project funded by the Carmel Mission Foundation, is gaining speed. The target is to finish the project in time for the mission founder's 300th birthday next fall.
"It's quite a picture to see these cranes lifting (the temporary roofing structure) up and attaching them to the scaffolding," said project manager Brian Kelly. "It must extend at least 40 feet from the ground up. ... You don't see this very often."
The project, which is focusing first on the actual structure, began in August and is expected to conclude by March, said Victor Grabrian, president and CEO of the foundation.
The work is meant to bring the basilica into compliance with modern safety codes. Its 220-year-old walls will be reinforced with a skeleton composed of more than 300 steel rods, and the existing trusses and knee braces supporting the 76-year-old roof will be replaced.
Grabrian said the mission has had lots of work done since its founding in 1771 by Junipero Serra, and it is being retrofitted in time for Serra's 300th birthday in November 2013. The project will reinforce the building without changing the appearance, leaving it in the same aesthetic condition for the 250,000 visitors who flock to the mission every year.
The Blach Construction crew has already set up scaffolding around the basilica and removed the roofing tiles. They are currently working on the walls and ceiling, where large steel rods will be inserted to strengthen them against earthquakes. The 31-foot holes are being drilled at a rate of one hole per day.
The basilica will remain open during construction, with a plastic covering protecting the building from the weather.
"So far everything's been going along quite well, and we hope it will continue that way," said Grabrian.
The retrofit is the first part of a planned $20 million, multi-year project to restore and preserve the entire Carmel Mission complex. The foundation has raised $5 million so far and will continue to raise money because it will take "another couple of million" to fix and repair things like electrical and mechanical issues, Grabrian said.
Fundraising began in 2010 with donations coming from 3,700 "friends of the Mission" in and around the community. The foundation also received a $650,000 Save America's Treasures matching grant administered by the National Parks Service and a $100,000 grant from the Monterey Peninsula Foundation.
The mission is "so interwoven in our community, we were happy to support it," said Laurel Lee-Alexander, director of the grants program. "Not only does it have historic importance, but also social importance. It plays a large part in people's everyday lives."
The mission has had its roof cave in and has gone through an addition and previous restorations since the 1800s. Yet it never failed to be a religious and social gathering spot for the community, Grabrian said.
"You could say it's the start of California," he said.
The mission was originally built out of wood and was updated to stone after Serra's death. Since then, it has been restored by a number of people, including two priests and an artisan who worked on it most of his life. He replaced the peaked roof with a more original design, the same one being worked on today.
The reaction from the community has been positive, Grabrian said.
The building houses the basilica, a school, a cemetery and a museum, which holds many artifacts, some of which were hidden after the Spanish-American War and only recently discovered.
"It is the second largest draw in the Monterey Peninsula," after the aquarium, Grabrian said.

Dr. Francis Adriaens and Gary Winter will lead commercial launch of dairy technology
Advanced Animal Diagnostics (AAD), a developer of technologies for the rapid diagnosis of farm animal diseases, has added two new employees to lead the company's sales and marketing efforts. Dr. Francis Adriaens is named Vice President of Marketing and International Sales, and Gary Winter is named Vice President of North America Sales.
"Francis and Gary have experience that makes them ideally suited for their roles as AAD moves toward commercial launch of technologies that will allow dairy producers to enhance profitability, milk quality and animal welfare through earlier, more accurate detection of mastitis," said Joy Parr Drach, president and CEO of AAD.
AAD is an innovative R&D company dedicated to bringing highly accurate, rapid animal diagnostic tests to the farm. The company's first on-farm product will focus on improving milk production and quality by earlier, more accurate detection of mastitis, an infection of the milk-producing gland.
Francis Adriaens will lead the marketing function and be responsible for sales outside of North America. He brings a strong background in the animal health and life sciences industries, serving most recently as director of global marketing for Merck Animal Health. He was responsible for a portfolio of ruminant products and oversaw several successful product launches. He also led sales and marketing efforts for Renessen LLC and held a number of sales, marketing and product development roles at Monsanto.
His experience in managing dairy sales teams in global markets will also be critical as AAD expands beyond North America in coming years. Adriaens earned a bachelor's degree in veterinary sciences, a master's in zootechnics, and a doctorate in veterinary medicine from the University of Ghent in Belgium.
Gary Winter will focus on building a sales force and distribution network for AAD in North America. He comes to AAD from Novus International where he served as national sales manager of the specialty feed solutions team. Prior to that he was national sales manager of the ruminant products sales force where he led the development of a dairy sales force from the ground up, including recruitment, training, management and coordination with customer service and technical support teams.
He also worked in sales and regional management roles at Chr. Hansen BioSystems, Manna Pro Corp., and Monsanto. Winter earned a bachelor's degree in animal science and a masters of business administration from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
AAD's technology
AAD started with a USDA Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant. It received funding from the North Carolina Biotechnology Center including a Collaborative Funding Grant for research at North Carolina State University's College of Veterinary Medicine. In March 2011, the company closed

All systems go for Lackey in series finale
BOSTON -- Red Sox right-hander John Lackey hopes the latest comeback is for keeps.
While making his first start of the season -- and his first since undergoing Tommy John surgery in October 2011 -- on April 6 in Toronto, Lackey suffered a strained right biceps.
However, he has made it back from this latest ailment in short order and is eager to take the ball for the Red Sox on Sunday afternoon against the Astros.
"Based on the game pitched [on a Minors rehab assignment], and the bullpen [session] that followed, there's been no symptoms that have reoccurred," said manager John Farrell. "The fact is, when he felt it up in Toronto, I think it was just getting to an arm speed and a velocity that he hasn't experienced in probably two years."
Lackey went 3 2/3 innings in his rehab start at Double-A Portland, throwing 67 pitches.
Obviously he won't be pitching a complete game against the Astros on Sunday.
"We've got an idea with a certain pitch range that he'll approach at some point, and that will be the end of it for the day," said Farrell. "The fact that he got up and down four times his last outing, he was up and down into the fifth inning his first outing. That's kind of the range that we're looking at going into tomorrow. The stress of each of the pitches thrown are going to have some impact on the decision of how deep he can go into tomorrow's game."

TPWD To Retain Saltwater Stamp Surcharge
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas saltwater anglers will continue to help fund a program designed to reduce commercial fishing effort in the bays through a $3 surcharge on the Saltwater Sportfishing Stamp fee, following action taken by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Commission.
The commission adopted in 2000 a $3 increase to the Saltwater Sportfishing Stamp fee (from $7 to $10), which was scheduled to expire in 2005. Agency projections suggested that without continued funding from the surcharge beyond 2005, the objectives of the buyback program cannot be achieved in a timely manner.
"Our goal with the limited entry program is to assure a sustainable shrimp industry that also minimizes adverse impacts on other commercial and recreational fisheries," said Larry McKinney, Ph.D., TPWD Coastal Fisheries Division director. All three fisheries — shrimp, crab and finfish — are currently being over-fished, over-capitalized (too many vessels), fully exploited, or a combination of the three. "We want to stabilize the fishery socially, economically and biologically. Our least-disruptive management tool available has been the license buyback program, which has been successful thanks to the contributions from the recreational anglers of Texas."
The revenue generated through this surcharge has helped TPWD retire 36 percent of the state's inshore commercial shrimping licenses as well as some commercial finfish and crab fishermen licenses. To date the shrimp license buyback program has purchased more than 1,150 licenses and has spent more than $7 million. During the latest round of buybacks, TPWD purchased 96 licenses in total for a total cost of $736,000.
"With the surcharge, we will have the funding needed to buy back about 800 additional licenses over the next five years," said Robin Riechers, TPWD Coastal Fisheries Division Science and Policy Director. "Without it, we're probably looking at retiring only about 80 licenses. This funding is critical for the continued success of our program."

NetWellness experts receive many questions about mammograms. Mammograms are the most popular diagnostic tool for breast cancer. It is a process in which x-rays are taken of your breast to reveal abnormal tissues. There are two situations in which mammography is used:
Screening mammography is used to detect breast changes in women who have no signs or symptoms or observable breast abnormalities. The goal is to detect cancer before any clinical signs are noticeable. This usually requires at least two mammograms from different angles of each breast.
Diagnostic mammography is used to investigate suspicious breast changes such as a breast lump, breast pain, an unusual skin appearance, nipple thickening or nipple discharge. It's also used to evaluate abnormal findings on a screening mammogram. Additional images can be made from other angles or focus on areas of concern at higher magnification.
Though it is of course important to have a mammography when you already believe you have found something abnormal, it is also important that you have mammographies on a regular basis even if you do not suspect anything unusual yet. This will allow early detection you notice a problem. Below are guidelines for performing screening mammograms.
If you're age 40 or older, you should have screening mammograms every year. There is no upper age limit on when to stop screening mammograms, as long a other health conditions are not serious and a woman is healthy enough to undergo breast cancer treatment if cancer is detected.
Family medical history - If you are at increased risk of developing breast cancer because of family history, known to have abnormal BRCA-1 or BRCA-2 genes, or because of previous premalignant changes on biopsy, screening may be recommended at a younger age than 40. Sometimes breast MRIs (a more sophisticated imaging technique) are used in such individuals. Women at increased risk should have regular check-ups with a medical provider skilled in breast cancer screening and knowledgeable about the latest screening recommendations and techniques.
Mammograms should become part of each woman's regular medical routine. Luckily mammograms are relatively fast and should be only slightly uncomfortable at worst. Here?s how a mammogram works:
At the testing facility, you're given a gown and asked to remove neck jewelry and clothing from the waist up. It's a good idea to wear a two-piece outfit that day. Avoid the use of anti-perspirants or deodorants until after the mammograms are finished.
For the procedure itself, you stand in front of an X-ray machine specially designed for mammography. The technician places one of your breasts on a platform that holds the X-ray film and raises or lowers the platform to match your height. The technician helps you position your head, arms and torso to allow an unobstructed view of your breast.
Your breast is gradually pressed against the platform by a clear plastic plate. Pressure is applied for a few seconds to spread out the breast tissue. The pressure isn't harmful, but you may find it uncomfortable or even painful. If you have too much discomfort, inform the technician. Your breast must be compressed to even out its thickness and permit the X-rays to penetrate the breast tissue. The pressure also holds your breast still to decrease blurring from movement and minimizes the dose of radiation needed. During the brief X-ray exposure, you'll be asked to stand still and hold your breath.
After images are made of both your breasts, you may be asked to wait while the technician checks the quality of the images. If the views are inadequate for technical reasons, you may have to repeat part of the test. The entire procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes. Afterward, you may dress and resume normal activity.
Breast cancer is a serious disease but it is treatable if caught early on. The NetWellness features listed below contain information regarding general breast health.

After Monday's selloff, I found all the chatter on social media about the coming end of days amusing. With the market barely 2% off the recent highs, there was talk of a huge pullback in stocks and preparations for a potential crash-type move. It was, after all, the worst day in the market in three whole months. While people were tweeting and blogging about how hard they were looking at charts and keeping track of Asian indices, I was enjoying a nice glass of wine and a book and ignoring the overnight stock markets. I suspect some felt insulted that I disparaged those who were charting stocks at 11 p.m. on a Monday night.
But I am not naïve. Problems in Italy could certainly cause trouble for global stock markets. While the actual sequestration cuts in the U.S. are not that bad ($85 billion is about a week of spending in the $6 trillion budget and the equivalent of what is spent monthly to buy mortgage bonds), the lack of political will to prevent it is troubling. I wrote on Monday about how the economy is still in a state of "better but not good." Consumers are scared, job growth is anemic and a lot can go wrong in the stock market.
Last night was not the time to deal with these issues. The time was several weeks ago when the market was leaping forward every day. On the last day of January, I wrote about the need to review your portfolio and prune stocks that had reached overvalued levels. I have talked this year about hoarding cash as the market powered back to new highs. A correction was inevitable after the rally off the November lows. If you were just getting around to reviewing and planning last night, you were too late.
There was no need to stay up and watch Asian markets tick by tick last night unless you were massively long on 10x leverage. If you were, you may as well have gone back to sleep since there is about a 98% chance you will blow up anyway. I have known very few who could trade on massive leverage and survive. They are outliers. Any massive movement in Asia would be reflected in a gap opening here if it was really the start of a global crash. The odds that flipping through the same piles of stock charts as everyone else to find an edge strikes me as small.
Which brings me to a pet peeve: If you are fortunate enough to make a good living in the markets, please stop talking about how hard you work. While it takes discipline, mental acuity and perseverance to succeed, it is not hard work. No matter how late you stay up reading 10-Qs or running models, you do not work as hard as an elementary school teacher does. I don't care if you stayed up all night charting stocks, you don't work as hard as a person with a small business trying to make payroll and taxes. You could have watched every tick of every market in the world and not worked as hard as a heart surgeon or an ER nurse. The only way those of us in the market break a sweat is if we have either too much leverage or the air-conditioning fails. We are very fortunate to do what we do, and complaining about how hard we work is a tad insulting to those who really labor intensively.
All of the chatter about sleepless nights and feverish chart reading reminds me why I prefer the value approach to the markets. Some of my stocks went down Monday but the business value of the companies didn't change much. It forces me to be a contrarian, selling stocks that rally to the point of over-valuation, and be a buyer when the blood of the overleveraged-momentum types runs in the streets after a selloff. Market movements are just noise to a value investor unless they create severe valuation distortions.
The key to making money in the stock market -- and still sleep well at night -- is to react to market movements and not try to predict them. If the new round of messy news out of Europe causes a market correction, or even a crash, there will be bargains galore to buy and you should have cash on hand if you have been carefully pruning portfolios based on valuation in prior rallies. Don't wonder what the market is going to do tomorrow. Ask yourself if a stock is safe and cheap enough and has solid prospects to make money over the next five to 10 years.
Insisting on trading every day and reacting to every news item or twist of the tape makes investing a lot harder than it needs to be.

Digging In to Tri-Party Repos
Last week I wrote about how banks interact with the Federal Reserve, and that elicited some queries about tri-party repurchase agreements. It's a worthy subject, so I'll address it briefly here.
The relationships I discussed pertain to basic two-party repurchase agreements. In these, a bank will either lend to or borrow reserves from the Federal Reserve, with existing high-quality debt assets as collateral, and receive or pay interest during the holding period. These are very paperwork-intensive transactions, because they require actual ownership transfers of the underlying collateral....555 more words left in this article.

Hicks will play for Warrandyte Venom of the Big V Division One basketball league in Australia.
"I look forward to becoming a great asset to the team as well as the fans," Hicks said in a release. "Nothing better than winning games and helping out with the supporters, because without them this sport I love wouldn't be where it is today."
Prior to signing the deal, Hicks, a 6-foot-8 forward from St. Louis, spent one season with the Lima Explosion of the American Basketball Association (ABA).
With the Explosion, he averaged a double-double scoring 17.4 points and 13.6 rebounds per game. Hicks shot 82 percent from the free throw line and 30 percent from behind the arc. In addition to his offensive output, Hicks was also a force on the defensive end blocking 4.2 shots and adding 3.5 steals a night.
During his senior campaign at Indiana Tech, Hicks helped lead the Warriors to a 22-11 overall record, with an NAIA Top 25 ranking, as the Warriors climbed to as high as 15th.
He led Indiana Tech to the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference Tournament championship game, where it fell to eventual national champion Cornerstone University.
During his senior campaign, Indiana Tech completed one of the best turnarounds in the nation with 11 more wins than the previous year.
Hicks was named to the WHAC All-Defensive Team and was an integral part of a defensive unit that was one of the best units in the country.
The Warriors ranked first in scoring defense per game, holding opponents to just 58 points per game, and ranked second in total rebound defense (29.7).
Indiana Tech was also top-20 in field goal percent defense (.408). Hicks was one of the conference's top shot blockers, finishing his senior year with 67, which ranked seventh in the country. He was also a terrific rebounder, grabbing 221 boards with an average of 6.7 per contest.
"I intend to take my experiences, knowledge, wisdom and talents to the next level of success here with the Venom," Hicks said. "I've heard nothing but compliments of the culture and its endeavors, which I will treasure during my stay."
Hicks is the fourth former player to sign a pro deal in Head Coach Al Grushkin's tenure at Indiana Tech, joining Rodney Bartholomew (NBADL), Manny Hendrix (Australia), and Chris Ware (Romania).

The North Platte softball team (6-1) swept Lexington in a doubleheader
North Platte pounded Lexington in game one, 8-0, in six innings. North Platte scored four runs in the sixth to seal the deal. Hannah Hays had an RBI single and two Lexington errors helped North Platte's cause.
It was a good night at the plate for Hays who went 2-4, drove in one, and scored two runs.
Kaite Franzen was in control on the mound. Lexington managed just one hit off Franzen, who walked one and struck out four during her six innings of work.
North Platte had a two-out rally in the third inning, scoring on a two-run double by Mikenzi Wiseman.
North Platte added two more runs in the bottom of the fourth. A Lexington error scored Christina Yoshida to open the frame. That was followed by Franzen's RBI single.
Come from behind
An all-around effort led North Platte to a come-from-behind 4-3 win in game two of the doubleheader.
Marissa Ramos shut down Lexington while she was in the pitching circle. Lexington managed just two hits off Ramos, who allowed one earned run, walked one, and struck out three during 4 and 2/3 innings of work.
In the top of the first, Lexington took an early lead, 1-0.
Lexington's threat began with a single by MacKenzie McKeone. McKeone moved from first to second on an error and she scored on a sacrifice fly.

Rachel Kosmacek helped North Platte take the lead for good in the sixth. Ramos reached on an error to get on base in the sixth. Ramos's courtesy runner Abby Jones then went from first to second on a stolen base.
Kosmacek's clutch RBI single scored Jones and put North Platte up for good.
Jenny Keck got the save in the final two innings.
North Platte will be in action Thursday in Kearney against Lincoln High and Lincoln East.

Sure, you could always go the snowflake-dish towel route or bestow a bottle of bubbly with a sprig of mistletoe. Yawn.
If you really want to please your favorite gourmet, you'll opt for one of these cool gift ideas instead, because there's something here for everyone, from cookbook devotee to toque-topped toddler.
Cookbooks for Bay Area foodies
Don't let the cover of "Bouchon Bakery" (Artisan Books, $50, 400 pages) fool you with its nostalgic cookie propped against a glass of milk, complete with striped straw. This collection of 150 recipes by Thomas Keller and Sebastien Rouxel is so heavy, you could bench-press it. That's probably a good thing, because you'll need serious exercise after noshing your way through its 400 oversized, photo-filled pages of ethereal macarons, cocoa nib tarts and croissants.
We can't wait to try the recipes for Oreo-inspired TKOs, or the Dutch Crunch Demi-Baguettes, which Keller likes to fill with rare roast beef, tomatoes, red onions and watercress.
Also delicious:
Books for "Top Chef" devotees
This year has brought the release of at least five books by top-notch "Top Chef" contestants. But the book that's guaranteed to delight any recipient is "Beginnings: My Way to Start a Meal" (Olive Press, $25, 192 pages), by Chris Cosentino, executive chef at San Francisco's Incanto and winner of the most recent season of Bravo's "Top Chef Masters." The book offers an array of enticing, creative starters -- an Asian pear, lardo and rose thyme starter, for example, and a persimmon and watercress salad -- that are both doable and dazzling.
Also tempting:
Gifts for oenophiles and mixologists
Wine and spirits recipients fall into one of several categories: Those who appreciate the latest gizmos, those who just want a bottle and those who want a gift that stimulates the intellect as well as the palate.
"The Drops of God" is Tadashi Agi's best-selling graphic novel that follows the competition between two brothers as they search for 13 sublime bottles of wine in order to inherit their late father's estate. In the fourth installment, "The Drops of God: New World" (Vertical, 365 pages, $14.95) Shizuku and Issei travel outside Europe to the Napa Valley and Australia in search of a wine "created from man's toil and sense of purpose." This detective story-meets-wine-guide is really a romantic coming-of-age tale that will delight your wine enthusiast.
Equally thirst-quenching:
Treats for pint-size foodies
Do your miniature gourmands prefer Gruyere to cheddar? A baguette over PB&J?
Move over, Fisher Price. IKEA's version of the kid kitchen is sleek, sophisticated and so realistic it promises hours of play time -- for both of you. The Duktig Mini-Kitchen ($99) features birch plywood counter tops, an electric range that lights up and cabinets as white as your own. Add on the four-piece cookware set ($9.99), which includes a wok and lidded pot, and watch your future star chef delight in its durable stainless steel and safe, rounded edges. (www.ikea.com).
Also tyke-friendly:
n A sushi-strewn toddler dress ($30) is one of several that will appeal to fashionable gourmet youngsters. The nigiri togs are made by Brentwood's Rubina Designs and are available at Pleasanton's Berry Patch.

The Miami Heat signed Andersen to a 10-day contract, the team announced Sunday. The Heat also brought forward-center Jarvis Varnado back for a second 10-day deal.
Andersen, a center, worked out for the Heat about two weeks ago and remained in the team's plans.
Andersen has averaged 5.4 points and 5.2 rebounds in his NBA career. His last appearance was with Denver on March 25.
He is known as The Bird Man, for his distinctive Mohawk-style hair and colorful tattoos.
Andersen, 34, is a 10-year NBA veteran. A journeyman, he has appeared in 482 career games — 10 of them starts, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. He averaged 5.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.60 blocks in an average of 17.8 minutes, while shooting 50.8 percent from the field.
It's his rebounding the Heat crave.
"You can see how he could help us," Chris Bosh told the Sun-Sentinel recently. "You could definitely see how he could help us, because he's a threat at the rim, always rolling hard to the basket, just his defensive presence and his knack for rebounding."
Rebounding has been a sore spot for the Heat.
Owner Micky Arison announced the signings Sunday morning.

Topic: I don't get it
I don't undestand why my mom is not responding to treatment. It's great to read about the positive stories on here but it's not the case with my mom. She's only been on gemzar and then xeloda which we are told are the two strongest chemos to treat this cancer. Neither one worked. It seem like doctors are giving up on her and it's frustrating. They don't recommend her trying clinical trials because it could do more harm, they don't suggest radiation either because they feel it could do more harm. They sound more positive about her doing nothing and this was both at Mayo and her chicago based oncoligist.
I am working while taking care of my mom at home but I spend the day trying to think of where to take her next and who can help her (when I should be working of course). I don't know what to do next. I'm sure many of you feel this way and I just had to vent.
Her CC has matastisized so is there any hope? Thanks for listening ;-)

With average temperatures nearing 80 F year-round, Mexico City would not be an obvious candidate for a glass-clad shopping center.
In fact, when the plans came in for Magnocentro26, a 246,000-sq.-ft. shopping and entertainment center located in a high-income area of Mexico City, there was some concern that the four-level glass atrium and generous skylighting specified for the project would result in significant solar overheating that would drive up the cost of keeping the center cool. But the architects of Magnocentro26, which is owned by a joint-venture partnership of New Hyde Park, N.Y.-based Kimco Realty Corp. and Mexico City-based Frisa, came up with an ideal solution: a high-performance glazing product, from Palo Alto, Calif.-based Southwall Technologies.
The product, XIR/Emerald Blue laminated glass, is designed to reduce unwanted effects of heat and light from the sun. It allows for the extensive use of glass and benefits from natural light while reflecting unwanted solar energy. Some 35,000 sq. ft. of the flat tempered XIR glass were used in the Mexican shopping center.
"XIR blocks nearly 100% of the sun's damaging ultra-violet radiation and a significant portion of unwanted solar heat," said John Miller, spokesman, Southwall Technologies.
The laminated XIR product is a transparent film that is encapsulated between two layers of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) and glass to form a protective barrier against the harmful effects of the sun. The finished product has a unique, lowreflectance appearance. Unlike other approaches that absorb and re-radiate heat, XIR film's spectrally selective metallic coating actually reflects destructive infrared and UV rays without impairing visible light transmission, according to Miller.
In applications such as that of Magnocentro26, XIR has a low-reflectance appearance, Miller said, allowing greater than 70% visible light transmittance while reflecting about 50% of the invisible heat.
Glazed monolithically or combined into sealed insulating glass units, XIR film can be laminated with annealed, heat-strengthened or tempered clear glass, or combined with tinted PVB and tinted glass.
"One thing that made the installation so perfect for Magnocentro26 is that XIR for laminated architectural glass is particularly effective for bent-glass constructions that also require solar control," Miller said.
According to Miller, it is difficult to bend direct-coated glass. But XIR is effective for achieving both curvature and high solar control.
While no energy savings have been calculated because of the newness of the center, Miller said that he is confident savings will be realized.
"The center was able to use dramatic amounts of glass while reducing the temperature range so that normal temperatures could be maintained through moderate use of air conditioning," he said. "What the mall owners wanted to avoid was a situation where inside temperatures were so high that an inordinate amount of air conditioning had to be used."

Chief Chivi said young people, both men and women, no longer respected marriage and sometimes jumped into cohabitation at the expense of pursuing proper procedures.
He urged his subjects to go back to basics when marrying and stressed the need for young couples to go for counselling so that they can appreciate challenges that go with married life.
"The rate at which I receive cases of divorce involving young couples at my court is worrying. Surely, I do not know what has gone wrong with today's youth. At every court session I preside over three to four cases of divorce depending on time.
"Anyone who feels is man enough to live with a woman should follow our culture," said Chief Chivi.
According to statistics from the 2012 census, Matabeleland South has the highest number of divorces or separations at 5,2 percent as well as the highest number of widows and widowers at 10 percent.
Harare is second in the divorce ratings with 5,1 percent of its marriages failing.
Masvingo was among those with the least percentage at four percent.
Despite that, Chief Chivi said he was alarmed by what was happening in his area which is under Masvingo province and bemoaned the apparent collapse of the extended family system where aunts and uncles played a pivotal role in preventing marriage breakdowns.
The traditional leader appealed to government to set a law that punishes youths who impregnate girls but dump them without paying any damages.
He said youths who have a tendency of impregnating girls should be responsible enough through taking care of their children.
Chief Chivi who planted a tree at the school called on his subjects to conserve the environment through establishing woodlots of indigenous trees in their communities.
Present at the launch were Environment, Water and Climate Minister Cde Saviour Kasukuwere, Minister of State for Provincial Affairs in Masvingo Cde Kudakwashe Bhasikiti, Chivi-Mwenezi Senator Cde Josiah Hungwe, Masvingo City Council Mayor Hubert Fidze, OK Zimbabwe CEO Willard Zireva, Forestry Commission in Zimbabwe general manager Darlington Duwa, Friends of The Environment (FOTE) chairman Tendai Kanjanda, tradional leaders, among others.

Auburn's upset bid falls short against No. 2 Florida
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) Patric Young made a pair of free throws with 19 seconds left and Auburn threw the ball away on the ensuing inbounds play, helping the second-ranked Gators to a 71-66 victory on Wednesday night.
With No. 1 Syracuse losing to Boston College 62-59 in overtime, Florida could move into the top spot in The Associated Press college basketball poll for the first time since the 2006-07 season.
The victory was Florida's school-record 18th in a row and it kept the Gators (24-2, 13-0) perfect in Southeastern Conference play. It was also Florida's 31st consecutive home victory.
Young led the Gators with 17 points, all in the second half, and had seven rebounds. Casey Prather scored 16 points and Scottie Wilbekin had 15.
Tahj Shamsid-Deen led Auburn (12-12, 4-9) with 17 points. Chris Denson had 15 and K.T. Harrell 14.
After Young's free throws put the Gators ahead 68-66, Harrell glanced up-court and never saw Allen Payne's inbounds pass. The ball bounced out of bounds and the Gators sealed the victory from the free throw line.
Auburn nearly pulled the upset because of its 3-point shooting. The Tigers made 10 of 19 3-point shots, although they cooled off somewhat in the second half and made only 4 of 10. Auburn led 38-30 at halftime thanks to six 3-pointers. The eight-point deficit was Florida's largest halftime deficit of the season. The Gators' previous largest deficit was three points against Missouri, Kentucky and Wisconsin.
Auburn led by as much as eight points early in the second half but the Gators worked their way back and the teams traded the lead into the final minute.

Florida took a 66-65 lead on Michael Frazier's 3-pointer with 40.5 seconds to play, but the Tigers tied the game on a free throw by Denson with 20 seconds remaining. Young grabbed the rebound on the missed foul shot and was immediately fouled.
Young, a 55.9 percent career free throw shooter, hit his two free throws to give the Gators the lead for good. He added another free throw with four seconds to play to cap a monster second half.
Young grabbed six of his seven rebounds in the final 20 minutes. He missed his only shot from the floor in the first half and made 5 of 6 shots in the second half. The 17 points tied a season high.
Florida's last loss came on Dec. 2, 2013, against Connecticut.

Corbin keeps building up to start in Australia
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Patrick Corbin had hoped to get five innings in on Wednesday, but other than that, the D-backs lefty was pleased with his start.
Corbin, who is scheduled to start the regular season opener against the Dodgers on March 22 in Australia, allowed a pair of runs on five hits while going four innings.
"I think my fastball command wasn't as good as it was my first outing and I think that's why my pitch count got up a little bit," Corbin said. "It's going to happen during the season, you're going to throw a lot of pitches in innings and obviously you want to minimize that, but it was good to go out there and build up some pitches, and have a couple of tough innings."
To compensate for his fastball command, Corbin threw his slider and changeup more.
Corbin will have two more spring starts before his Opening Day assignment.
"I feel like I'm where I need to be and I'll be ready for my start [in Australia]," Corbin said.

Murder In Front of the Bay WindowMystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.
Carrie Marshall had recently joined the Riverside police force, and on the first day of her job, she was sent out to investigate a new homicide case. The murder involved a wealthy bachelor, Steven Andrews, who lived in an expensive, grand oceanside mansion. At the time of the murder, there had been five other people in the house: the cook, the maid, two friends, and his niece. Both the cook and maid had rooms in the mansion, and the three guests had all stayed overnight.
When Carrie got to the mansion, the five suspects had all been lined up in front of a large bay window. It was mid-afternoon, and through the window, Carrie could see the beautiful sunset.
Her partner, Lieutenant Linda Newton, who had arrived an hour earlier, sketched out the details for Carrie. All the suspects had agreed that Steven Andrews had been found murdered in the morning, shortly before six-thirty A.M, but he had been alive a few minutes past midnight, when they all headed to bed. Nobody had heard anything during the night. Mandy Andrews, the niece, had come down to the kitchen to get a glass of water, and on her way back upstairs, had passed the bay window, where she saw her uncle's dead body.
Carrie decides to begin interrogating the suspects as the lieutenant and two other officers go off to look for more evidence and clues. The suspects give the following testimonies:
Maid: "I retired to my room shortly past eleven last night, after cleaning the dining room where Mr. Andrews dined with his guests, and helped the cook put away the leftover food. I was reading a novel until about twelve-twenty, and heard occasional laughter and talk, although I couldn't make out the words. This morning, I heard a scream, which was from Miss Mandy, so I rushed down with the cook and his two friends. Mr. Andrews was laying dead in front of that window. The lieutenant moved his body about fifteen minutes before you arrived, but there was blood on the side of the head, from a gunshot, maybe. I didn't hear anything, but whoever did it could have used a muffler. I'm innocent, though."
Cook: "It's like the maid says. She was cleaning the dining room while I tidied up the kitchen, and we both stored the leftovers in the refrigerator and talked for a few minutes about his guests. I went upstairs and to my room about the same time she did, but fell asleep after I took a shower and brushed my teeth. That was about eleven-thirty maybe, and I slept soundly until this morning, when a scream woke me. I rushed downstairs with the others, and there was the body. I tell you, I didn't do it. I've been with Mr. Andrews for eight years, and he knows he can trust me."
Mandy: "I was up until midnight with my uncle and his friends, talking and joking around. I fell asleep at about one-fifteen, but woke at six-twenty-four, and was thirsty, so I went down to the kitchen to get a glass of water. On the way back, I passed by the bay window, the one behind us, and I could see the beautiful sunrise outside, but, sadly, my uncle was sprawled on the ground, with a huge bloody wound on the side of his head. I screamed and the others were here in just one or two minutes."
"That's enough," Carrie said abruptly, before the two friends of Mr. Andrews can say anything. "I know who did it. Lieutenant! We have our murderer!"
All five suspects, and the lieutenant and her two men, who came into the room at her call, look at Carrie.
Who murdered Steven Andrews, and how did Carrie know?
HintThe bay window is the key.
AnswerMandy killed her uncle. It was afternoon when Carrie looked out the bay window and saw the sunset, so the window must have been facing the west. However, Mandy claimed to have seen the sunrise through that same window, but the sun rises in the east. Carrie learned from a distraught Mandy that they had argued recently, and she had come to settle their dispute, although Steven had already disowned her and refused to re-include her in his will, so, in a fit of anger, Mandy shot him with a revolver hidden in a kitchen cabinet for safety precautions. Her uncle had also fancied a drink and was on his way down to the kitchen when she was taking her glass of water back upstairs.

Punto set to return from hamstring issue
SAN FRANCISCO -- A's infielder Nick Punto is expected back in the A's lineup Friday, barring any further issues with his left hamstring.
Punto experienced tightness in the hamstring during Monday's game and has since been held out of game action. But after undergoing a full set of workouts Friday afternoon, manager Bob Melvin said he's good to go.
Punto is expected to start at second base against left-handers when the season begins, as part of a rather strict platoon at the position with Eric Sogard. But the switch-hitting Punto, an excellent defender, is likely to see plenty action off the bench in the later innings on any given day.

I stopped behind a Roane County ambulance at a traffic light. All the ambulance's emergency lights were flashing and the car in front of it wasn't moving. I thought the ambulance must be on its way to an emergency, and the car should move out of it's way. After following the ambulance for a while, I noticed that ALL IT'S EMERGENCY LIGHTS started flashing whenever the driver used a turn signal or stepped on the brake pedal! Don't you think this sends a mixed message to other drivers on the road. I can see where a driver might think an ambulance is responding to an emergency when, in fact, it's only making a left-hand turn. This could cause an accident. First of all, with all the lights flashing, other drivers don't notice the brake lights or turn signals. Second, a driver in front of the ambulance might cause a traffic accident if he thinks the ambulance is responding to an emergency and makes a hasty move to clear the way for the ambulance.
When you FOLLOW the ambulance, you can't see all its lights. You only see what's directed to the rear of the vehicle.
Safety studies have shown emergency vehicle operators that operators of vehicles BEHIND the emergency vehicle often do not pay close enough attention when the emergency vehicle slows and/or stops. The outcome is sometimes a rear end collision that prevents the ambulance from completing its task and delaying care, as well as causing injury.
I have seen this on Roane County and other emergency vehicles. The rapod falshing immediately drew my attendtion and caused me to pay attention to what was going on - whether it was a turn signal or merely slowing down or stopping. I sure kept my distance from the rear of the vehicle.
It actually does not turn on ALL the emergency flashers for 360 degrees around the vehicle. Only those to the rear to catch your attention.
