The great thing about doing the Capital Region Sunday show is that you get to cover a wide range of occupations and subject areas.  In some cases the information can be life saving. Here is a case in point.  Do you know someone with pulmonary hypertension?  They might have it without knowing it!  Take a listen to this repeat of a Capital Region Sunday interview with Rino Aldrighetti CEO of PHA.

If you missed the show today, we talked about this list and we were all both amazed by some of the thing on the list and oh so happy to hear that these things can actually help us shed a few pounds this New Years.

This is an interesting tactic, and it just might work if enough people make the phone call or send an email.  This is an effort to stop the increase of drug addiction from opiates in America.

So you booked your flight to Cancun and you're psyched, right?  You board the plane expecting a great excursion, and more importantly you hope not to get attacked by bacteria. Well, you might have a hard time avoiding it, according to this study.

I honestly can't believe what I'm reading.. I really can't.

Many people that I talk to agree - you can't get a good steak dinner in the city of Schenectady.  I don't know about that.  I can think of many decent places down there, although many places concentrate on Italian food.  But there is one restaurant out to challenge this statement.

Can you possibly give a chicken a prosthetic leg?  Yes, according to the Tufts University's Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine
