November 2006 ArchivesI hadn't heard of companies like Biogift until about two weeks ago. This is one of the aspects I really like about my job; learning new things that I would otherwise not have any exposure to. We featured Biogift in our story because of Walt Mitchell's willingness to do an on camera interview with me. http://www.biogift.org But, I made many phone calls and spoke with a number of people eith... RE: Tonite's 5pm story... Boozy breastfeeding moms is definitely NOT what the inventors of Milkscreen envisioned. You saw the story (or will see it depending on when you're checking this blog) and know where the mom-inventors stand and where the pediatrician we spoke to stands. But, I promised more information and here it is!! Milkscreen: http://www.milkscreen.com/ The American Academ... Yup. On the health page you'll see the HoneyBaked recall story in 3 different spots (at least as of 4:30pm Monday). Who knows where they'll be when you get here to the site. I did that for a couple of reasons: a) because we don't know if anyone in Oregon or SW Washington bought these contaminated hams or turkeys online or by catalog.. b) to reinforce the local store bought ones are fine.. and c) to make it as easy as possible to find the ph... Danyial (that's how he spelled it) loved the Gorge photos from Scott and wrote that he guesses we really do all come together this time of year. It got me in the picture taking spirit and since I actually got to ride in the parade this year I had a little fun myself. First, let me say that the owner of the car I rode in, Ray, did not want to take the top off because his car is worth like $50 grand. If it was your car you wouldn't eit... Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! My blog buddy Scott sent me these amazing photos. He lives in the Gorge and if I hadn't seen similar photos before I'd almost question if they are real, because they are just too cool. But, they are and he has quite a fun time snapping photos of the wildlife that stops by to get a tasty treat. He says his cats normally leave the wild turkeys alone although one likes to occasionally try to play w... Those glucose sensing contacts are quite a lovely idea, aren't they? It will be interesting to see if a major company jumps on board to take them into animal and human studies. That kind of stuff costs big bucks and takes time with no guarantees.. so it is too soon to start planning to buy these contacts. And they might run into an unforseen snag once people start testing them. But as a concept it is exciting and certainly seems t... Mornin'... I just wanted to tell you about my story tonite at 5.. It's on these sweet contacts that you can't buy (yet) that can sense important changes in your body and alert you before you run into trouble. And then after the story I'll post about the other ways they want to use these sensing contacts. If it pans out it will basically be like a heads up display for your health. Total sci-fi meets America kind of stuff. I th... Okay, that's overstated. But this is an area of huge debate. Even the toxic house mold issue is up for debate, which you can learn more about by going to a search engine like Google and looking for "toxic mold myth": For remodelers, check out this link. It's not local, but the information is something you might find interesting: Your kids are better than you at opening those 'childproof' prescription drug bottles, right? In seriousness, with some of those prescriptions a single pill can kill a small child because they process medications differently than us. Look at this article that says one in 5 teens has taken a prescription painkiller to het high: And R... Yup. Steven Sterrett is pretty inspirational. No doubt about that. You know he now performs his music all over the place at cancer benefits, etc. And his song to his wife Anita is so touching. He has told me if people want to know more about his music or his story it is okay to email him: sterrett-music@comcast.net. As for Mannitol.. it's kind of a unique little substance. ... ((Looking for Toxic Cosmetics? and nanotechnology? Keep scrolling...)) This notion of detoxing yourself is a HUGE hot topic for people right now. I mean, not every industry gets to experience a 100% growth rate in sales in just a year, you know? And, those people who use different detox approaches often swear by them. You saw the story tonite.. you saw the two interviews. What struck me is while they differed in so... If you're looking for the Mt. Everest climber/OHSU doctor story it's the next one down.. keep scrolling!! If you're looking for information about cross-addictions as they relate to weight loss surgery then you've found the right blog! Here is some great additional information: Oprah did a show ... Did you see the story at 6pm on the Everest climber/OHSU Emergency Department doc? Pretty sweet, eh? Here is the website on the Discovery Channel site I found that runs you through each episiode. I for one will definitely record it. http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/everestbeyond/about/about.html?clik=fsmain_feat4 And here ... Barring breaking news I have the coolest story running tonite (Friday) at 6pm. Let's just say it involves a photogenic Portland doctor who works in the Emergency Department at one of our busiest hospitals, a few phone calls with the publicists for the Discovery channel, some absolutely knock-your-socks-off footage thier crews shot, and 29,035 feet. If you catch the story tonite you have to tell me what you think!! Email me: It's like I'm going to have a little party and invite all the links I know. This list is long, but I do want you to have access to this information. The topic is really a facinating one! First, the list from Friends of the Earth: Friend of the Earth Main Website: http://www.foe.org/... I really hope you liked tonite's story.. with all the weather and election coverage I think a lot of people probably saw it. They are an amazing group of women. To learn more about the group check out this link: http://www.ovariancancerosw.org. The woman who first told me about them is Diane Dennis. Kudos to her for making me aware!! She's also the one working on a book t... Recipe time!! This is directly from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine: Ingredients: · 500g boneless chicken thigh ((Steph's note: that's about a pound)) >> Continue reading: Hey there! So, I've been working on special projects this week but I wanted to drop off this little note in my blog. Here's an update we had on a story that ran previously in our news as well as on the blog. Love the UPPERCASE? Yeah, that's how we type our stories into the program that we use to build our newscasts... sorry!
