October 2006 ArchivesI just wrote this huge blog and nuked it on accident. Grr. The blog headline was supposed to say, "I love my job, except when I'm tired and grumpy" and was going to fill you in on this whole conversation I had with Kerry in our newsroom about it. Double grr. It was a joke, based on my previous blog title. Oh well, I'm probably the only one who would have thought it was funny anyway, so let's get to it: ... Today was one of those days I worked on special projects behind the scenes so I didn't do what we call a "day turn" story.. but I do have a photo to share!! I get to meet so many cool people in my line of work, really. On Friday I emceed a fashion show at the big women's show at the Convention Center. As I was leaving, this cute little girl came up to me to say 'hi' with her grandma. She was such a sweetie I asked if I could ... Happy Monday!! Grr. This idea of cannibal cells is not new and science has witnessed this interaction before. But, these particular cells cannibalizing other cells is new and will deepen researchers understanding of how these cells work as part of our immune system. Check out this press release which more specifically addresses the types of white blood cells we're talking about: >> Continue reading: I think most people don't know that paramedics and other 'first responders' use saline instead of blood to help stabilize blood pressure in a bad crash or trauma incident. Here is that phone number if you want to opt out: 503.494.7015. Leave a message and the gal will get back to you. And, here is the additional information I promised. This is a press release from OHSU and is quite long but has additional det... Okay. Assuming you clicked here because you saw the story and wanted the extra info, let me get right to it. How to ICE.. There was a shot of it off the top of the story.. but the web folks here haven't posted the video yet so let me write it down... Just create an entry in your address book that says ICE and if you want add a name after it like, "ICE John" and put John's phone number. It's that simple. Let's say you don't ... Have you found me? Click here to tell me! I personally really like the new layout of our site and I love, love, love the video that is so much easier to play. But I'm curious to see if people who don't use RSS can intuitively figure out where to find me in advance of the new "animation" that I have coming ((probably next week)). By animation I mean that little thing that runs after my... I wonder how many people actually drink decaf as opposed to regular coffee. I found some spotty stuff online that was hard to confirm. It suggested the market for decaf is on the rise, although it's still dwarfed by the leaded kind. I'm a half-caf drinker at best. I love the taste and smell of coffee so I usually make decaf at home. I hate coffee breath though, which fits because I'm bad-breath-phobic. That's the one drawback. :-... Hmm. Lots of links to share with you tonite. First the EWG link that outlines all the foods the group looked at, the methodology it used, etc. I'll start with the methodology page and then you can just follow the links on the right hand side to see the rest: http://www.foodnews.org/methodology.php I looked this up to give me some sense of where we are in terms of o... Yeah, this is a really interesting little study. It'll make me think twice the next time I get dressed to go out to dinner with John, you know? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061010/ts_nm/science_ovulation_dc Rob in St. Helens wrote me just the other day asking if Joe Donlon (some of us call him Jo-Don for short) was still using that exercise ball as a ... And perhaps yours too. Welcome to a new work week. I really love today's story because so many of us wear contacts. Estimates suggest 25 million Americans wear contacts and a growing number of people are turning to laser surgery. So anything that looks at the data through an unbiased filter is good in my book! Yeah, no more sticking the contacts in your mouth and then popping them back in your eye. Dr. Mathers says the mout... Howdee!! I'm off work tomorrow (Friday) and am super excited about that. Today I worked on special projects and so I'm "fronting" the health segment tonite. I did go over the studies invovled so I'm happy with how everything is written. :-) Here is that picture from my blog buddy Joe.. having fun with my "Bruce Sussman desk" photo. I had to reduce the size.. I hope you can still read it okay.
LIAR!!! It does have a little to do with health. I had this cool story I was working on today when the e.coli FBI raid story broke, so we are saving my other story for next week since this was more pressing news. That's all I have on the health front. So, a blog buddy of mine Joe sent me his version of the "Bruce Sussman desk" photo I posted below. I just emailed him to see if he'd let me post it. Made me la... If you saw the story tonite then you know a big chunk of change is headed to both OHSU and Kaiser Permanente. I mentioned in the tag of my story ((the tag being that part that comes at the very end-- sort of makes sense)) that I had more information here about where the money will go. Check out this link for more: http://www.ohsu.edu/ohsuedu/newspub/releases... Happy Monday! So, if you've ever gotten an incorrect prescription from the pharmacy, obviously first you want to make the pharmacy aware. You can also contact the Oregon Board of Pharmacy to file a formal complaint: http://www.oregon.gov/Pharmacy/Complaint.shtml. I talked to a gentleman in the Compliance department with the Board and he says it's his agencies job t... |
