Landis: Did he or didn't he??

If only answering that question was easy. The test indicates one thing and yet you have people all over the country weighing in with why it might be false or why is definitely positive. I think no matter what happens the damage is done.

What do you think?? Email me: sstricklen@kgw.com

Dr. Goldberg is a wealth of knowledge on doping and told me about all the creative drugs labs create f...

Lance Armstrong's doc will have none of it!!

Yeah, Dr. Craig Nichols is not a fan of all this hype surrounding the so-called "Lance Armstrong effect". Why he agreed to interview with me I don't know.. but it makes me very very very happy.

Here is the full interview which explains the one benefit Dr. Nichols sees in all of this. The weird times you see in there are my timecode. It's basically information embedded into the tape that tells me where that snippet of sound actually ...

Okay, it won't go like that.. but I was so struck by this idea that I was THRILLED when the bosses told me I could cover the story.

It's actually about 1pm and I have to fly to an interview for this story.. so this blog will be short. Um, actually they are never really "short".. how about shortER!

This link gives you the basic info on what the state wants to do:

Medicine Mistake!

Okay.. what do insulin, medicated eye drops and asthma inhalers have in common?

They are medications that people tend to carry with them and then tend to leave in the car. Frankly, it's not that good of an idea to leave any medications in your car when it's hot outside because it'll cook 'em. But, with these meds (particularly asthma inhalers and insulin) the last thing you need is to find out thier effectiveness is compromi...

Heat Stroke

I'm writing this from home and I'm about to whine. It's about 4:10pm and I got to work at 4:15 this morning. When I wrapped up my mini-version of this story for 6pm and looked up at the clock and saw that it was 3pm.. I just didn't want to stay one more second in the newsroom. I knew when I left I'd hit a wall of traffic (which I did). Nothing like turning in a simple 17 minute commute into a 50 minute ordeal. It's allright, I'm home now ...

Morning Sickness

Happy Friday!!

After this crazy mixed up schedule I was on all week, I'm super excited to have the weekend off.

Now, let's get down to this business of morning sickness. My girlfriends have told me horror stories of catching a whiff of food and spending the next 30 minutes hovering over the commode. After hearing that, it's hard to believe that morning sickness is a good thing.. but it is! The doctor we interviewed today (...

Mercury & Tuna

4:36 PM Tue, Jul 11, 2006 |
Stephanie Stricklen

What kind of tuna is in your pantry??

Typically, many who looked at the issue considered albacore to potentially have more mercury because the fish were bigger and older when harvested (and further up the food chain which means more mercury collects in the tissues of the fish).

Some groups recommended eating tuna labelled as "light" (not in terms of calories) since the type of tuna was a smaller, typically younger fis...
