• On April 13, 1742, George Friedrich Handel's "Messiah" premieres in Dublin. Although singing the oratorio has become a Christmas tradition, the Messiah received its world premiere during the Christian season of Lent. Handel composed the score for Messiah in just 24 days.

• On April 14, 1818, Noah Webster, a Yale-educated lawyer with an avid interest in language and education, publishes his American Dictionary of the English Language. The dictionary, which took him more than two

decades to complete, introduced more than 10,000 "Americanisms."

• On April 12, 1861, the Civil War begins when Confederate shore batteries under General P.G.T. Beauregard open fire on Union-held Fort Sumter in South Carolina's Charleston Bay. During the next 34 hours, 50 Confederate guns and mortars launched more than 4,000 rounds at the poorly supplied fort.

• On April 10, 1906, O. Henry's second short-story collection, "The Four Million," is published. O. Henry was the pen name adopted by William Sydney Porter. Porter began writing in the late 1880s but didn't apply himself seriously until 1898, when he was jailed for embezzling from a bank in Austin, Texas.

March 29 - April 5, 2012

BRISTOL, Tenn. -- At last, Martin Truex Jr.'s fortunes are rising at Michael Waltrip Racing. His third-place finish in the Food City 500 was his second top 10 of the season to date. Four races in, Truex ranks fourth in the Sprint Cup point standings.

Truex, who is from Mayetta, N.J., won in June 2007 at Dover, Del., while driving a Chevy for Richard Childress Racing. In

2010, he moved to Waltrip's Toyota team. Since that one Dover victory, 171 races have passed. After finishes of 22nd and 18th in points at MWR, it appears as if the 31-year-old has regained his form.

Though the Bristol race was won on March 18 by a Dodge (Brad Keselowski), and a Ford (Matt Kenseth) finished second, the MWR Camrys of Truex, Clint Bowyer and Brian Vickers finished third, fourth and fifth, respectively.

"We've just got a good organization right now, a good bunch of people," Truex said. "We've got three race cars that seem to go to the race track and run really well each week. We're able to feed off each other. All season our cars have been

strong."Across the board,

it's been a lot of hard work and dedication by the team. In the end, all the people do-ing their jobs the best they can is why things have been working out for us."

Twice, in 2004 and 2005, Truex won the championship of what is now the NASCAR

Truex Off to Fast Start With Waltrip TeamNationwide Series.

Bowyer is Truex's lone full-time team-mate. The team's third Toyota, No. 55, is most often driven by veteran Mark Martin. Vickers made his first start in the car at Bris-tol. Waltrip, the team owner, will drive oc-casionally.

Martin has histori-cally been praised for his teamwork in pre-vious stops at Roush Fenway Racing and Hendrick Motorsports, among others.

"Obviously, Mark is a great driver," Truex said. "He's got a lot of experience. I think one of the things he's brought is confidence in the team. When he comes in there and says, 'Man, I really like these race cars; I like what you guys are doing,' it makes a pretty big impact.

"He (Martin) can get in anything and go fast. When he says you've got good race cars, he gives your team a good direction to head in when they're not great. He's definitely brought a lot to the team."

Medicare is coming out with a new version of our annual report, the Medicare Summary Notice. Medicare spent 18 months asking questions of some of us who receive the reports, and then redesigned it with our suggestions in mind. It’s done a good job.

The new report, part of the “Your Medi-care Information: Clearer, Simpler, At Your Fingertips” initiative, will make it easier to understand all of our benefit and services information. It will be easier to determine if fraud has occurred, or if we need to file an appeal for a claim.

New items on the reports will be:--Larger text fonts. --A notice about checking our informa-

tion for potential fraud and details on how to do that, and a reminder to check the services listed and the amounts paid.

--”Consumer-friendly descriptions” of medical procedures.

--A list of doctors we’ve seen, clearly listed, along with the dates.

--Deductible status, with the amount of the Part B Deductible that has been met for the year.

--Claims status, with information about whether all services were approved. If the answer is “no,” it tells what amount might be billed to us.

--Preventive services that are available.For now, this new report is available only

online, but starting in 2013 we’ll receive these reports quarterly by mail. To see a sample of the old versus new reports, go on-line to mymedicare.gov and click on “Mak-ing Medicare claims and benefits statement clearer, simpler.” In the article there is a link to a side-by-side comparison. (A hint: This shows up as a very small graphic in a .pdf file. Click the “plus” sign at the top of the screen to enlarge the picture.)

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: The receptionist at my doctor’s office called to give me the report on a mammogram I had taken. She said that it showed calcifications and that the doctor wanted it repeated in six months. Why? Are calcifications indications of cancer? If they are, I’d like to get this taken care of immediately. I am becoming a nervous wreck thinking about this. -- H.M.

ANSWER: When tests don’t provide a definite answer, everyone suffers -- the patient, the doctor of the patient and the doctor who interpreted the test.

Calcifications are the perfect example. They’re calcium specks. When the doctor interpreting the mammogram sees them, he or she bases their importance on their number, their shape, their size and the pattern they make. With those criteria, the doctor usually can say whether they indicate cancer.

Noncancerous calcifications might result from a bump to the breast to which you paid little attention. Or a minor breast infection could have caused them.

If the doctor feels that evidence points more in the direction of cancer, then he or she will ask for an immediate biopsy. If the doctor feels more certain that they are not cancer signs but is not completely certain about that call, a repeat examination at a later date is a reasonable position to take. Neither the in-terpreting doctor nor your personal doctor would ask for a delay if there was any chance that the inaction would harm your health.

The pamphlet on breast cancer gives the approach to diagnosing and treating it. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 1101W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.
