Kate in LA: Goodbye South Florida



I've got some big news ... I'M MOVING! After launching my first show "Kate's take" just fourteen months ago ... up at the beach on Hillsboro Mile and yes after sweating bullets shooting outside in the soggy stifling Florida summer I decided last Fall to move the show inside to bring you the more sophisticated "WatercoolerDiaries". Well, after reporting umpteen health reports, boxing in the ring, fishing, cooking, skydiving and swimming with the dolphins, I decided to make my move... yes I'm off to find my dreams on the West Coast ... Los Angeles! Santa Monica to be exact ... The new show? It's to be titled ... "KateInLA!" We plan to launch sometime this Spring ...

Sniffling Mice?



We're in the heart of cold and flue season again. It is estimated that some 60 million people in the U.S. will get the flu each year during this stretch from November to April. And millions more will get colds. It's time to get your flu vaccine, stock up on cold medications and hope for the best. I recently got a bad head cold and I remember thinking, "We can replace people's hearts and perform surgery on their brains but we can't figure out how to kick a simple rhinovirus!!" Well...a group of scientists from Britain think they may be able to change that with the help of some sniffling mice. Watch Kate Bohner on KBTVonline today!

Robot at the Pump!



Some of you may remember the good old days when there were still full-service gas stations...where a neatly dressed, smiling attendant would pump your gas for you with a smile. Today, if you take a trip to the Netherlands ... that attendant just might be a robot! Watch Kate Bohner now on the "WatercoolerDiaries" on KBTVonline!

Physicians For Peace



Physicians for Peace bills itself as an international humanitarian non-profit medical education organization. When the CEO stood up he provided a parable he said "if you give a man a fish you can feed him for a day. If you teach a man how to fish? You can feed him for a lifetime."
They're teaching people how to help themselves. Watch Kate Bohner on KBTVonline now!

Solar Power



Last year, Allen Barnett and colleagues at the University of Delaware, Newark, set a new record with a design that achieved 42.8 per cent energy conversion efficiency. Barnett says 50 per cent efficiency on a commercial scale is now within reach. Such designs, married to modern manufacturing techniques, mean costs are falling fast too.

Biology of Love Part 2



The premise of romantic relationships...at least where our genes are concerned...has been that a couple's strong feelings for each
other and our frequent urges to have sex are driven by biological programming that screams: "Procreate!"
