pif you're exiting at fletcher, pfowler avenue and then looks plike in the area of busch pboulevard. potherwise, heading anywhere pelse, your best bet is to stick pwith 75. pgive yourself an extra 10 pminutes out the door. p>>laura: listen up, guys. ptake notes. pcoming up, a list of what women preally want from the men they plove. p>>russell: plus the rays spent a plot more time in cuba than they lanned. palcides segui will tell us why. pgood morning. p>>reporter: good morning to you. pa seven hour delay. pthe tampa bay rays were stuck in phavana because of mechanical roblems. pwe're going to discuss more pabout this issue and what this pmeans for their game at 1:00 pthis afternoon in fort myers pcoming up next on "good day." pbut before we go to break, let's pgo to walter allen. pgood morning. p>>walter: thanks. pwe're live in pinellas park pahead of a training exercise. pthe event in brussels reminds us phow dangerous and how quickly a pterrorist attack can happen.

pand they're stuck on the plane pfor a very, very long time. pa second plane arrived at 4:00 pin the morning. pthey loaded in that aircraft, ut all the gear on the players pand coaches and arrived here at ptampa international airport at pabout 5:00 this morning. pwe actually got video of them pgetting onto the charter buses pand heading towards st. pete and pthen eventually going home. pyou can also see two large box ptrucks. pyou can see the airport pemployees were putting all the pequipment onto that bus and onto pthose box trucks. pit was a long day for the rays. itcher chris archer took to ptwitter making funny comments. phe tweets, quote of the day went pfrom hashtag rays in cuba to prays stuck in cuba. phe said the showers at the pstadium in cuba today weren't pworking for the game, after the pgame so many guys didn't have a pchance to shower. papparently the team was hungry, ptoo. phe tweets, i'm thankful for play's potato chips, only thing

pthis was a historic visit no pmatter where you stand olitically. pthis is only the second time a pmajor league baseball team has ptravelled to cuba since fidel pcastro came to power in 1959. pit's the first visit by an pamerican president to cuba since pkal calvin coolidge did it in 1928. pthe rays game, mr. obama psomething to cheer about as pwell. pthe rays were up 1-0. pa shot to right field, and you pcan see the president actually pstand up and give the safe sign. phe looks at president castro, plooks at him and just says, plooks like he's talking a little ptrash. prays dominate the game 4-1 pwinning it. pduring the game, commissioner psaid that he hopes the prelationship between major pleague baseball and the cuban pleague improved. phe actually said he hopes to see pa day where cuban players will

pand major league baseball so pvery interesting to see how all pof this plays out, especially pwith the embargo and what this pmeans for the cuban people. pi will say this as well. pwith the rays arriving here at p5:00 this morning, they had a pmeeting scheduled for 1:00 this pafternoon. pthat game will be on but it will pnot be the team that travelled pto cuba. pthose guys will have a day off. pinstead, the team will be made pup of minor league players. pthey'll play minnesota today at p1:00 in fort myers so the team pthat was in cuba, day off. pvery interesting. pi got to tell you, very, very pinteresting. pi love to see the rays dominate pthis game 4-1. pi have relatives that live in pcuba and they describe this team poffer. pso the fact that we beat them p4-1 gives me a little bit more ptrash talk next time i talk to pmy uncle down there in cuba.

p>>laura: you're never short on pthat anyway. p>>reporter: that's true. pall right. p>>russell: other sports new, plightning beat the red wings plast night. pthe win moves the bolts into a pfirst place tie with the anthers with nine games left of pthe season. pnext five games, by the way, are pat home. pand the bucs finally opening up pabout the firing of former coach plovie smith. pfranchise co-chairman glazer psaid that the team was looking pto the future, not the past, pwhen they fired him back in pjanuary but ultimately they said pthere wasn't one major reason pfor the firing. pthey hired derek koetter as the pnew head coach. phe's the team's fifth head pcoach. p>>laura: there is an emergency phappening right now at pinellas ark high school but don't pworry. pthis is just a drill. pthe florida department of health

pready they are for a biohazard pevent. pwalter allen is there. pgood morning. p>>walter: laura and russell, pgood morning to you. pthis is not your typical medical ptraining exercise. pwe were talking earlier, you're pnot going to see the fake blood pand people with broken arms and pthat kind of thing. pit is just as serious. pyesterday in brussels, obviously pwe saw how quickly, how pdangerous a terrorism attack can pbe. ptoday we're simulating -- you pguys are simulating a bio terror pattack. p>> right. p>>walter: and so the scenario is pthat someone released anthrax in pthe air. lanning chief, what can we pexpect today when it comes to pthe bio terror? p>> today we're simulating the presponse to a bio terrorism pattack. pso what we'll be doing, scenario

od and it's where we're to peverybody in the county, roughly pa million people, so we have pabout 48 hours to do it. pwe're doing exercises to better repare and plan for the presponse. pthe more you practice and pexercise and close your gaps, pthe better you are to really be psuccess informal that role. ptoday we're dispensing pmedication to about 150 pvolunteers here. pthey'll keep coming in, realize pthe situations and we'll see how pwe do. p>>walter: i know anthrax is bad pbut if you ask me to describe pwhat it is, to a lay person, pwhat is anthrax and what do you phave to do to prevent that? p>> it can be inhaled, ingested pthrough cuts or things like pthat. ptoday the scenario is based on pair anthrax. pif there was a release, there's pa plume headed over pinellas pcounty, we would have roughly 48 phours to start getting pantiobiotics into people so no pshots or injections, anything

eople can start exhibiting eople can start exhibiting psymptoms within a day or so, so pour goal is to get meds into eople before the symptoms start pexhibiting so the sooner, the pbetter. p>>walter: don't go anywhere. pat 8:00 we'll talk about why pit's not just as easy as handing pout antiobiotics to everybody pbecause there are certain pconditions that people can or pcan't take them for whatever preasons and we'll get into that pat 8:00. pback to you. p>>laura: scary to think about pbut necessary. ptraining is everything. pthank you, walter. p>>walter: absolutely. p>>russell: not all marriages pstand the test of time. pabout 50% of marriages fail. pand that number has held steady pfor most demographics except for eople over the age of 50. pthe divorce rate for them is pskyrocketing. pgeoff simon is in this morning pto talk about that. p>> good morning. p>>russell: why? pwhat's going on here? p>> it's pretty remarkable henomenon but over the last 25 pyears, the rate of divorce for

pdoubled. psome other demographic groups pare going down but for people 50 pand older, it's actually pdoubled. pyou can see it. pthe highest rate still for eople getting divorced are eople who marry young. p17 to 24 years old. pthose are about 60%. p but the fastest growing is eople age 50 and 60 or now 15% pof all divorces. plook at that. pages 64 to 80 is 10%. pand those numbers were tiny a pfew years ago but they're pgrowing very rapidly. p>>russell: do we know? phave we changed our perception pof staying married for the long phaul and it's reaching into polder adults? p>> it is and there are a number pof reasons for it. pone, we're living longer and eople are saying, you know, we pstayed together for the kids, pthe relationship was fine but we pmay have another 30, 40 years to

pdifferent second stage or third pstage of my life and if you phave two couples working, they phave separate incomes. pone is not fully dependent on pthe other anymore and that's panother factor that plays into pthis. p>>russell: good point. pso sadly, you get to this point pand you decide we're going to pend this marriage. pespecially if you're older, pthere's some things to consider, pyes? p>> no question about it because pin almost every case when you pget divorced, older age where pit's been a long marriage, palimony is going to happen. psomeone is going to be receiving palimony. pthat's just the way the courts phandle it. palso, if you have retirement pfunneds, -- funds, those are going pto be cut in half. pif you have a house, typically eople do, if you want to keep pthe house, that's fine but pyou're going to have to end up pgiving up something else in that prelationship of value. pnow, your kids are older. pthey're going to play a factor.

pthis is, you don't want to make p-- just be business-like, try to phandle this divorce and this may pseem obvious but you should preally wait to date until the pdivorce is over. pthat could work against you in pcourt. pand if you do get remarried pafter a divorce, make sure you pget a prenuptial agreement. pthose are the factors. punfortunately, those are pimportant things to think about. pvery important things to think pabout but it's remarkable how pmany people are actually getting pdivorced. pin fact, the governor of alabama precently got divorced after 50 pyears of marriage. p>>russell: wow. pmakes me sad. pyou know, i know it happens. pit just makes me sad. p>> sign of the times. p>>russell: i guess so. pgood to see you. pthank you. p>>laura: it is sad. pyou know, no one enters a pmarriage already wanting a pdivorce. pyou hope for the best. pjennifer epstein is here now pwith a list of things that women

p>>jennifer: that's right. pmen's health has come up with a plist of top 20 traits women look pfor in a man. pi have my own list, a lot longer pthan this one but we'll stick to pthis for the segment and here's pthe top five characteristics paccording to men's health. pnumber five, fatherliness. p51% of women look for a good guy pwho is a good dad or has the otential to become one. pbeing a go ahead role model, atience and caring are pqualities women like in a artner. pif you're not already a dad, you pcan score some extra points by ptelling your partner about your pfavorite niece or nephew or pyounger employee you're helping pat work. pmoral integrity. p66% of ladies say they want a pguy with guts. plooking for someone who can be a pgood, caring, decent partner in pthe long run. pkindness is also a key to a pwoman's heart. pyoung women may fall for the bad pboy but more mature women are

p67% of women say kindness pinspires confidence. pso if your date sees you treat pthe waitress or the valet guy pvery well, she figures you'll ptreat her just as good. pcoming in at number 20, pdependability. pthree out of four women look for pa man who makes commitments and pfollows through. peven if it's something small as premembering to stop for milk psends for a positive signal that pyou can commit. pcoming in at number one, pfaithfulness. pmore than eight out of 10 women prated faithfulness as the most pimportant trait they look for in pa man to reassure her you're not pgoing anywhere. pdave? p>>dave: what do you think, jen? p>>jennifer: i think you got all pof those down pat. p>>dave: i have no patience. p>>jennifer: don't i know it. p>>dave: 57 degrees. phow about this? pgreat time of year to hit the psuncoast. pright up over downtown, it looks pgreat. pi know you need jackets for the
