Stephanie Stricklen: June 2006 ArchivesThat's the name of the organization: "Lose the Training Wheels Bicycle Instruction" to be precise. What an awesome day I had, too. Talk about the kind of story I positively love to cover. This is a really great idea, and the camp will return to Portland next year from June 25th to June 29th, according to co-organizer Ann Donaca-Sullivan. There are already 8 kids who are on the schedule to attend!! They get specialized help from tr... It's after 4:35pm and I'm just starting this entry. I hit at 5:07. When I'm in the a-block ((the first segment of the show before the commerical break)) the producer likes me to be in position by the time the show starts which is actually 4:57. I will have to type quickly. Here's what you need to know about measles. Most of us should have gotten two vaccinations as children. It's worth a check of your r... Hello!! It's been a while since my last blog because my schedule got so turned around with anchoring, etc. I have a bunch of additional comments from some of you about the concierge medicine story I did and will post them today if I don't run out of time to get ready for my upcoming hit (by "hit" I mean my appearance in the 5pm show tonite). So, I've decided I really should spare you the whiny story of the hour I spent on the ... Would you pay $600.00 for same day access to your doctor that included phone conversations, secure emails, and possibly housecalls? Some people spend more money on that in a year on lattes.

S... Who knows. Or rather, "not likely". But the research is important as scientists broaden their understanding of what causes cancer. And if it leads them to a supplement someday that works better than, oh, say.. drinking 17 beers... then we should be all for it. Here is the OSU press release on it which offers additional information I couldn't include. Okay, the one sure fire alternative to alcohol that provides a protective benefit to your heart is.................(drumroll, please)...... Eat a healthy diet and exercise. Don't shoot!! I'm just the messenger. But a healthy diet and exercise goes such a long way toward achieving this goal (and many other healthy ones). It works so well that the researchers note people should NOT take up drinking because the potential for ab... This is the sort of story that is a tremendous challenge to cover in 90 seconds. Shooting the story wasn't too difficult because we had more reporters than photographers today (which meant I ended up doing a story with file video from previous stories I've done.. to simplify things). What is tough is trying to decide what is the most important information and what I must leave out. William Lambert at OHSU wo... Hey there! I'm back on my normal shift as of today (at least until summer vacations kick in). Thanks to all of you who emailed me about the Starlight parade. Yes, yes.. I now know the dance they were doing was the "electric slide". :-) I meant it when I said I didn't know!! Here are a few pictures I snapped with my camera phone. Our floor director Sean hung out and managed to stay dry. We were on the roof of the Hilton un... |
