stories from the week!

wow. did everyone watch the opening ceremonies!??so good! and i love the parade of nations...i love seeing all the different people,nationalities and costumes they pick! even though there's so much crap going on in the world, you kinda feel like everybody is on the same side during the olympics.

and here a couple of stories from this week :)

http://wake.mync.com/site/wake/ i have to say, i have never done a liveshot in someones living room before! lol we did a story at a local Chinese family's home as they were preparing to celebrate the olympics today! when you click on the link look at the "featured videos" section...and youll see the story titled "local chinese americans gear up for olympics"

http://www.mync.com/site/durham/News/story/6456/usa-baseball-plays-final-game-before-olympics from monday...the USA baseball team played in Durham in its last exhibition game before going to china for the olympics!

http://hillsborough.mync.com/site/hillsborough/news%7CCommunity/story/6751/hillsbourgh-police-start-problem-solving-team and here's a good little story about a new effort the Hillsborough PD is trying to reduce crime in a specifc area of the town...i love doing stories in hillsborough b/c the population is less than 6-thousand people! and it makes me feel good that i can find a story idea in a place that small! lol

and ps the correct pronunciation of bejing is "be-JING" not with a "zh" sound like we're so used to saying!
