Stephanie Stricklen: September 2006 ArchivesHappy Friday!! As phojo Moe pointed out to me on my way in this morning, it's a) Friday.. b) payday.. and c) sunny. Whoo hoo! Okay, here's how this whole weight control thing works: some researchers created this National Weight Control Registry that includes more than 4000 people who lost weight AND kept it off. They all lost it in different ways, but Kimra says they had 4 things in common, time and time again.. that helped t... That's the response my mind gave me when I asked it how I could possibly forget my laptop at home today. Oh well. As I type this I am sitting at Bruce Sussman's desk which has the most ergonomically incorrect mouse and keyboard layout ever. Here's a picture: ((don't ask me why it looks so crummy.. I'm not working on my normal computer and everything takes me a little longer at this workstation)):
This will be my last post for a week or so. I'll explain more in a bit... First: Ecoli 101. *It doesn't take much bacteria to get sick.. maybe 10 microscopic particles. One gram of your poop can shed millions upon millions of particles. I know, that's SUPER gross to all of us.. but to doctors and food detectives that's just the reality of it. *It turns up on all kind of stuff: spinach, sprouts, unpas... It's easy to tease the story that way, but if you saw it at 5 you know it is much more subtle than that. Okay, other things that contribute to increased eye pressure: *Coughing Um, and lifting weights while holding your breath. Okey dokey.. here is a great Glaucoma link: >> Continue reading: This Sports Illustrated money will get put to good use, that's for sure. To learn more about which schools just introduced Athena and Atlas programs, check out this link: http://www.ohsu.edu/ohsuedu/newspub/releases/042406sports.cfm It's an older press release, but I really wanted to wait to get the video of the training in action. Always more ... I had one ear infection that I remember and I was old enough to be seriously annoyed by it. I STILL recall that stuffy feeling in my ear, not being able to hear, feeling crummy. While most children can skip the antibiotics, that's not always the case. Children who have ongoing health problems, long-lasting ear infections, or other issues might benefit from antibiotics which is why you should always get an evaluation from your healthc... Those are a few of the words I like to use when describing mosquitos. Here is additional information about the find of two dead birds in Multnomah county straight from the press release. Two dead corvids (crows and jays) found in Multnomah County have tested positive for West Nile virus, public health officials in Multnomah County and the Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) confirmed today. "We've been expecti... Yeah, I like making the headlines for these blogs pink whenever I do a breast cancer story. Sort of my own little pink ribbon contribution... http://www.answers.com/topic/awareness-ribbon The story I ran tonite was about the mutated gene discovery. Here is additional information about that from the AP (Associated Press): WASHINGTON (AP) -- Scientists mappi... Not the sort of question you want to ask a total stranger, but hey.. we're past that right? Now, while most of us would have to have a mammogram or an ultrasound to determine if we have dense breasts.. some women naturally have very lumpy breasts that are caused by all the ducts they have. The radiologist I interviewed put it best when he said, "get friendly with your lumps". As we age, our breasts get less dense and more fatty. We ... Looking for the dog photos I talked about on Northwest Cable News? Most of them are in the January '06 archive.

If I take some super duper amazing picture or I wind up with a lot of free time on my hands.. I'll post, but it's not likely because hey... would you if you were on vaca... |
