News Archives For July 2007
planetc1.com-news@5:15 pm PST The 2007 Tour de France is over, with 24 year-old American Discovery Channel cyclist Alberto Contador claiming victory, in the three-week cycling race. Contador is the youngest tour champion since Jan Ullrich of Germany won the Tour de France in 1997. Contador's time was 23 seconds better than Cadel Evans of Australia, making it the second narrowest win in the tour's 104 year history.
planetc1.com-news@11:26 pm PST It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Superstar singer Beyonce took a fall down a flight of stairs Tuesday at a concert in Orlando, Florida. Videos have been appearing all over the Web from concert attendees that captured the fall on their handheld recording devices. According to a least one report, Beyonce asked fans not to post videos of the fall to YouTube, Google's popular video web site (many have since been removed).
planetc1.com-news@2:04 pm PST It's been a hot summer for chiropractic related searches on the Internet. The month of July is nearly over, but the expected drop in website traffic as a result of increased summer activities, has not yet occurred. There's no telling what will happen in August 2007.
planetc1.com-news@7:15 pm PST Some of the worlds most popular websites were affected today by a power outage in San Francisco. While many of those sites have come back online the event will likely be remembered as something like... Web 2.0 Blackout San Francisco July 2007. YouTube CNN Democratic Debate Reports planetc1.com-news@1:00 pm PST There are mixed reviews in today's news regarding yesterday's CNN/YouTube Democratic presidential debates. Some have touted the events as groundbreaking and historic and others have called them more evolutionary, rather than revolutionary. The event was a mixing of old media (television) and new media (internet) in a format that had not been done previously in the area of presidential debates.
planetc1.com-news@2:21 pm PST About 400 people will be gathering at the Swedish-American Hall on Market Street in San Francisco on Saturday, July 21 and Sunday, July 22 to reinforce community involvement around one of the world's fastest growing open-source software platforms, known as WordPress. The meeting is known as WordCamp, and it's the second annual event of its kind.
planetc1.com-news@10:35 pm PST Monday night was chiropractic night on major television networks in the United States. The evening started out at 8 p.m. prime time on the CW Network (KTLA in Los Angeles) with Everybody Hates Chris and a repeat episode titled: Everybody Hates Thanksgiving (originally aired on November 20, 2006). The episode features Wayne Brady in his role as Uncle Louis, the chiropractor. Everyone is happy to see Uncle Louis and the entire family gets adjusted before having Thanksgiving dinner. 8:30 p.m. we change stations to CBS (channel 2 in Los Angeles) for a repeat episode of the New Adventures of Old Christine. Let's check out the story.
planetc1.com-news@6:35 pm PST The first chiropractic adjustment was made in Davenport Iowa, by a man named DD Palmer, way back in 1895. It was the adjustment heard around the world, as the spinal mobilization performed by Palmer, resulted in a deaf janitor by the name of Harvey Lillard, being able to regain his hearing.
planetc1.com-news@1:48 pm PST A number of my techie friends here on the Westside Los Angeles area have been e-mailing me from E3 since last night regarding Nintendo's introduction of a new Wii product they will be introducing to the market. Some already feel the product will revolutionize the home fitness industry.
planetc1.com-news@10:25 am PST If you've been running out of things to say while adjusting your chiropractic patients, never fear, Merriam-Webster has 100 new dictionary words for your linguistic pleasure. Don't be an old fuddy-duddy chiropractor that is not up on the latest lingo. I have put some of the new words being added into sentence so you can get to using them right away.
planetc1.com-news@10:31 am PST Michael Moore was recently on CNN to talk about his latest film "SICKO" and you can view the segment via youtube. Before CNN host Wolf Blitzer allowed Michael Moore to speak, CNN aired a four minute pre-recorded segment called a "Sicko Reality Check" where chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, went over some of the facts Michael Moore presented in the film. Nano iPhone may be for real planetc1.com-news@9:05 am PST News reports began appearing yesterday that Apple may be planning to build a cheaper and smaller version of the iPhone, following the slim and sleek modeling design of the iPod nano. According to reports, Apple is silent on the subject. I've got to admit that I thought the headlines were a hoax, since the only nano iPhone I've seen has been on David Letterman.
public_health@10:47 pm PST Toxicopathy is a new word to me, but one I believe we will all be hearing about more and more. According to Dorland"s Medical Dictionary (1993) toxicopathy means "any disease caused by a poison." The same book defines poison as "any substance taken into the body by ingestion, inhalation, injection or absorption that interferes with normal physiological functions."
planetc1.com-news@11:33 pm PST Happy 4th of July 2007 America! Independence Day is upon us, a birthday celebration of the day the United States claimed independence from Britain. The US is a nation made up of diverse and dynamic people. This Fourth of July will be like many before, with Americans celebrating their freedoms with barbecues, family gatherings, trips to the beach, and most definitely fireworks shows. Medical Terrorist Headlines planetc1.com-news@10:12 pm PST Sometimes I skim through news articles so rapidly that I misread headlines. One part of my mind may be moving faster than I have a chance to process the information or I may simply be conditioned to read what I expect to see. It's not uncommon for me to view headlines like "vacation policies must be changed" or "departments to fill vacancies" while my mind is doing a word twist resulting in me initially seeing words like "vaccination policies" and "fill vaccines." I viewed some headlines on an Internet news page today that I thought read "medical terrorists" prompting me to do a double take and check the headlines again.
public_health@10:45 pm PST The importance of good nutrition for good health is not exactly news. Over 2,000 years ago Hippocrates advised, "Let thy food be thy medicine, and thy medicine be thy food." But not until 1757 did Scottish physician James Lind become the first person to demonstrate a direct link between a major illness and a specific nutrient. Using one of the first controlled medical experiments in history, Lind showed that sailors supplied with citrus fruits and sauerkraut were able to avoid the telltale signs of scurvy: bleeding gums, rough skin, muscle weakness, poor wound healing, anemia and death. |
