May 2008 ArchivesYet another study touting the benefits of moderate alcohol consumption... check it out here: But (and I've said this before).. most of us have skewed ideas of what makes up one drink.. be it beer or a mixed drink or wine. I mean, most of my winegla... Mornin'! Here's the story that's making some waves today on the medical front. I wanted to share it with you in case you hadn't heard. We're talking about placebo pills-- and if it's ethically responsible to use them to treat a fake illness ((I can almost hear blog reader Sean emailing as we speak-- this story is right up his expertise alley!)). Now, you know I love my NPR so here is a link to the report it did: Then check this out.. a thanks to Bob for sending it along. I just clicked on the transcript and read through it. The video portion is 20 minutes long. http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/05162008/watch2.html ...A newsroom can be a very noisy place. I've had the good fortune to be relatively quiet and just listen today as everyone bustles about with all our election coverage. It's really pretty incredible how everyone comes together and pulls off so much... content. It's a feat! But because we have so much Decision 2008 ground to cover, I'm not working on health stuff today. So, let me take a quick moment to share a few emails with you. >> Continue reading: Eh, what's that you say?! I can't wait. I know the emails are coming... "Why do you run a story on sleep at 11pm when I'm asleep?" and while I don't have control over when my stories run, I think I can take a stab at the answer: because a lot of people who watch the 11pm enjoy sleep stories. But you know, almost all of my longer-format stories get posted to the web, so you can always check them out the following day if you're so inclined. The last time... This C.gattii (see GAT-ee-eye) story really grabbed my attention. I'm going to give you what links I have so far.. and my apologies for making this fast. I've got a sick puppy I have to get to the vet!! This is an article out of Seattle: This is a scientific paper that outlines some of the BC infections I ment... Today was a fun day over at Legacy Emanual Children's Hospital.. people with the Children's Cancer Association, Nike, and Herman Miller all teamed up to give the Music Rx carts a total makeover.. like that MTV show Pimp My Ride. These new carts are SLICK. But, don't take my word for it. Lauren, the 12 year old we talked to who has leukemia, could not have told the story better. She was very amazing. Here... HAPPY FRIDAY!!! AND HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! Hey, moms of teens (and dads, too).. check this story out on teens and marijuana use. Some of the statistics really surprised me.. like the suicide statistic: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080509105348.htm I hope you find article helpful.. and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.&... Hey there.. here's what I have for you. First, the Empower study link.. this is for the nerve zapper they're testing to see if it curbs the appetite. I highly recommend you spend the time reading the FAQ page. This is a long-term study that has some variables you should know about ((that are pretty well spelled out in the FAQ section)): http://www.empowerstudy.com/index... um........10 shades of hotness?!
*** ATTN: ASSIGNMENT EDITORS / BUSINESS / ENTERTAINMENT *** Blood. Such an important part of us. This story on the HH blood pilot program at the Red Cross was about two years in the making ((UPDATE: two years and one day. it got dropped yesterday because of the huge fire. We'll try again tonite at 5)). Every time we tried to get it set up-- there was some hurdle, including:
Welcome to Monday!! Here is that link on the full Associated Press writeup on the task force recommendations in case of a widespread pandemic flu or other sweeping illness. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hDeWu9n8WS9LtmwUnxMIucnFdnKQD90F8KKG0 What do you think??? >> Continue reading: ..:Who Lives?! Who Dies?!:.. Hey.. It's quittin' time for me, but not before I tell you about this cool Streaks for Stroke program put on by the Providence Stroke Center and American Heart Association. First: May is Stroke Awareness Month. Second: SATURDAY from 11am to 2pm you can get your free, clip-in red streak at the Lloyd Center Mall Nordstrom's on the first floor. Nurses will also do free health screenings. <...Mornin'!! I'm working on some new blogging software.. same program, just redesigned. Let's see how this goes. Here's a shout out to Dan.
