December 2005 ArchivesOkay.. it's 3:30pm and I must, must look over the 5, 6, and 6:30pm newscasts since I'm anchoring tonite. What I'm saying is I don't have much time to write, so this will be quick. Here is a great resource for all things heart related: There you will find excellent information on heart attack symptoms which doctors (along with the rest of us) are lear... Tomorrow I may need to consider a switch to regular coffee. Or at least half-caf. I'm anchoring the am show (which means I wake up at 2:45am).. then the noon with Jane Smith.. then the 5:00, 6:00, and 6:30pm with Russ. I'm used to seeing Russ in the morning and I have a great time sitting next to him on the desk. We've gotten into a groove that comes when you've worked with someone for a while. I apologize for the lack of health re... Nothing like figuring out at 4pm you don't have that shot you really needed for your story. Good thing our vending machine sells milk and we had a leftover clear glass. ...I can't believe it's almost time for me to pack my bags and head to Italy to cover the Olympics. I've written about the Olympics before on my blog but I thought today's story gave me a perfect opportunity to talk about the whole marketing/licensing aspect behind the games. Who wears what and when is BIG business in the Olympics. For example, a couple of companies will have the right to market retail apparel with the Olympic rings o... I anchored the morning show today and am taking a half day of vacation.. so no health reports from me tonite. But, I thought you might (or might not) like to know that the poinsettias you see on our news set...... are plastic. We used to have real ones, but no one was in charge of watering them and every year they would die these horrible, wilting deaths under the lights of the studio. And the stress would make them start dropping le... Man oh man, back in the saddle after a day home with a wicked sore throat. And I only had about 50 emails to get through this morning which, believe it or not, was less than I'm used to. So, my story tonite on the pedometers was a long time coming. Pat Dooris pitched it to me initially a few months ago and I sent it along to the managers who gave me the green light to set it up. After that, I made contact with the school an... Okay, I know.. I didn't update this on Friday, but hey.. I had a half day of vacation to take and I was outta here right after anchoring the morning show and doing what we call cut-ins. Those cut-ins are little mini-newscasts that run during the Today Show. When I fill in on the morning show I usually do the 2 cut-ins that run during the 7am hour along with another cut-in like segment we do that runs on NWCN. And since I'm filling in on the... Tonite I covered a really facinating story on face transplants. If you missed it, the basic premise is doctors in France successfully performed a partial face transplant on a woman who was seriously mauled by a dog. Her injuries were so bad that she needed a new chin, nose and lips (which she got from an organ donor). Doctors have said the woman is recovering in the hospital. With that said, you might think that's all there is to th... |
