According to the American Lung Association, in COPD: “Stale air can build up in the lungs, leaving less room for the diaphragm to contract and bring in fresh oxygen. With the diaphragm not working to full capacity, the body starts to use other muscles in the neck, back, and chest for breathing. This translates into lower oxygen levels, and less reserve for exercise and activity. If practiced regularly, breathing exercises can help rid the lungs of accumulated stale air, increase oxygen levels, and get the diaphragm to return to its job of helping you breathe....

Sleeping Malta is tiny—just 316 square kilometers—so traversing the island on the labyrinth of narrow stone-walled roads is simple. Base yourself on the waterfront near Mellieha Bay or St. Paul’s Bay or better yet, sleep on Gozo nearby to get the full feel of Maltese life. Consider renting a private villa or old farmhouse (a great selection at www.holiday-malta.com) since the hotels tend to be buffet-food havens with little character....

Grief is a very individual thing, and Cosby seemed not to want to grieve alone. In speaking with Cosby’s personal assistant before leaving Los Angeles, I was told to be at the studio a few hours before the taping.

His face still bore the overly amusing character he used so often in his commercials and television shows....

Contrary to some early reports of falling sales, many airport retailers weathered last week’s period of uncertainty and are dealing with the new restrictions just fine. Some may have even profited–at least in the short term. Though many items, like perfume, toothpaste and lotion, were taken off the shelves, they’ve been replaced by others. Retailers and restaurants have opened early and closed late to accommodate passengers who want to grab a snack after a tedious commute or fill up on liquids before they board the plane....
