COPD: Remember to Live

A light went out in our world when we lost Leroy Sievers. An award-winning journalist and executive producer of ABC's Nightline, Sievers lost his battle with cancer on August 15, 2008.   What remains of the talents he shared, however, is more than an outstanding body of work in print, radio and television.

Breathless in Beijing: Olympics 2008

The 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing began on Friday. I love the Olympics, always have, and you can bet I'll be watching and cheering on our American team.

Now that we are in the “dog days” of summer, many of us hear reports on TV or the radio regarding air quality.
