Stephanie Stricklen: April 2008 ArchivesFirst things first.. here is the chocolate study link!! It's easy to make light of it ((like, "Oh, sign me up")) but the goal is noble. They're trying to figure out the health boosting power of dark chocolate. http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSL2838269320080428?pageNumber=2&virtualBrandChannel=0 This morning we ran a story on LASIK.. as the FDA prepares to study the procedure after unhappy patients complained. Here is a full writeup on what's happening today that covers both sides of it: http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hm4_Y2gN7uuJFU9yGiiiwV0BWDagD908RA500 But the question I posed this morning/afternoon/5pm: If you hav... Watch how fast I pull this off. I'll update this entry later today, but for now I need to get you this link to the c.diff story I'm getting ready to talk about during the morning newscast: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24277609/ Update: the c.diff story made a reappearance at 5pm. I thought it was a good choice for the newscast, since we're starting t... I'm totally out of here. For a week, anyway. I'll be back next Thursday the 24th and likely buried in emails and story ideas. But in the meantime, let me leave you with a puzzler. My good friend and stylist Randi shares my love for a certain TV show. So, she gave this to me yesterday. I stuffed a business card onto it for no other reason than I felt like it. Can you name the show? Come on, only the cool kids ar... ((Update: vitamin story is below)) Good morning!! I'm feeling remarkably awake. I have no idea why. I'm about to go on the air and talk about the compound in plastics... bisphenol A.. or BPA. I've covered this before after local online parent forums started buzzing about it in plastic baby bottles and then retailers couldn't keep glass baby bottles in stock. ((Standby.. I have to go do my hit now...)) ...I'm back from a whirlwind trip to Vegas for my friend's 40th birthday party. As I said this morning during the 4:30am news, it's hard to wake up about the time you've been going to bed.. which isn't necessarily that impressive considering my alarm goes off at 2:45 in the morning. But I'm dragging. I do want to get you this link to Dr. Linn Goldberg's website, where you can learn more about the HEALTHY study. Click on the pres... Way slammed. Tour coming at 11:30. No time to post. Hopefully tomorrow? I have photos!! Happy Monday!! I'm going to cut right to the chase. There's a big story on the wires today about the numbers of medical mistakes, medication mix-ups etc.. when kids are in the hospital. Here's the full write-up from the Associated Press: And here is a link to the... Leseeeee... I covered health stories in the morning show, the noon, and coming up tonite at 5 and I have to keep them all straight. One that came up in each show is this story about green tea: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/03/080330200640.htm Green tea is definitely part of my morning ritual. If you ever spot a hastily placed coffee cup in... Good morning!! I mentioned this in the wee hours of the morning, but I wanted to bring you more on the World Autism Awareness Day.. the producers here put together a little "wrap" of a few autism related stories. I think I'd like to offer up a few links so you can see how media in a few places around the planet are covering this... India: h... |
