flag as a cradle, very inappropriate. however, seems to be norm these days. jerry says he's from a military family. others cited the code. this issue does not come down to the beauty of the photograph and it is beautiful. it comes down to what the united states flag code dictates and according to that code which is federal law, this photo is inappropriate. but stacy said you know what? i think the flag code tends to be over the top. there are obvious symbols of disrespect. this is not one of them. this is beautiful. we want to know what you think. please chime in on our wusa9 facebook page. finally everyone on twitter or facebook today couldn't miss the announcement that disney is going to produce frozen 2. that's not a big surprise since its november 2013 debut frozen generated nearly $1.3 billion at the box office, not to mention all the must have

effective but can cause serious side effects. risa levine knew some of the risks but hadn't counted cardiovascular disease among them. because risa's breast cancer was on her left side, the same side as her heart, that put her at higher risk for cardiovascular disease. >> even small amounts of incidental radiation dose from left-sided breast radiation may increase the risk down the road for ischemic heart disease. >> reporter: to shield the heart from even incidental rays of radiation doctors at suburban hospital in bethesda are coaching patients how to hold their breasts. it's called abc or active breathing coordinator. with the abc device a patient takes a deep breath before the beam of radiation is delivered. this increases the distance between the breast tissue or chest wall getting radiation on the left side and the heart. >> tried doing that for a bit.

>> reporter: it took risa one two hour session to get the hang of correctly holding her breath for up to 35 seconds. >> if you just went with the coaching and what the machines were doing for you, it's all very, very manageable. >> if we can decrease the incidental dose of radiation to the heart to a very safe level, the risk of ischemic heart disease later in life is virtually eliminated. >> researchers found patients able to hold their breath during treatment had a 90% disease free survival rate while limiting radiation exposure by 62%. keeping your family safe with weather call, a custom message sent to your phone when severe weather is in your neighborhood. wusa9 first alert weather. >> in a not have to make the call tomorrow, but you have an alert for tomorrow's weather. >> doesn't mean the whole day will be a disaster. you need your sunglasses to start and your umbrella tomorrow night. tomorrow night will be pretty
