Promethazine (Phenergan)

4:04 PM Wed, Apr 26, 2006 |

What did we do before the internet?

I mean, I know the answer to this, but it grants me instant access to documents that would have taken a week's worth of phone calls and letter writing to get. All in an instant.

Here are some of the resources I looked at for my story tonite. This is the letter that went out back in January of 2005...

Okay, I have to get working on my 6pm version of this story, so I must be brief. Here are some additional links regarding that Segway and mobility story I covered tonite...

First, here is the link to the Department of Transportation's Segway guidance document I mentioned at the end of the story:

I'm emceeing an event for the Daily Journal of Commerce & Commerce Magazine tonite so I have to get out of here by 4:30pm.

Here are a few links about the Mediterranean Diet I wanted to share with you.

First, here is the American Heart Association's take on it:

Pandemic Survey

I don't know about you, but I look forward to seeing future results on this public health workers survey as the researchers broaden their focus. That's what I was alluding to when I said the researchers weren't done yet. The next plan is to interview people in larger cities to see if the same results hold true.

If you'd like to see the full study I think it is well worth a read... check out this link: >> Continue reading:

I know.. the anticipation is killing you. 'What is my BMI', you think to yourself. Okay, maybe not. But, as promised, here is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Body Mass Index Calculator (does that have a ring to it or what?):

Here is another way of looking at the same thing:

Soft Drinks & Benzene

Today is one of those days I love having a blog.

With all the other news of the day the producer and I negotiated 1:15 for this story on benzene and soft drinks. It's tough to set up the issue and present all the sides in 75 seconds or less, but I understand we have some really big news and there was no way around the time crunch. But the blog allows me to share with you some of the information I couldn't include in tonite's story....

Supersize Seats

Who would have thought a story about car seats could be so interesting??

I've done a number of stories on car seat clinics and organizations that want to make sure every child has a properly installed, properly buckled car seat, and while I have really enjoyed them.. something about this story just stuck with me.
