Each season can expose you to different allergens, such as pollen, that are harmless save for the fact that your immune system happens to misidentify them as dangerous. This causes the release of histamines, chemicals that work to clear allergens from the body by triggering allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Histamines also cause inflammation in their effort to prevent additional allergens from coming in. While helpful in that regard, that inflammation can also trigger an asthma attack....

Dickson Ambundo’s brace in the late minutes was enough to give Alliance FC the much needed victory. Ambundo opened his goal account in the 76th minute and he was again on target in the 84th minute. Alliance FC Head Coach, Mbwana Makata congratulated his players for the victory and added they deserved the win though both goals came in the late minutes. The former KMC, Rhino Rangers, Kagera Sugar and Tanzania Prisons coach, said they will resume training on Monday so as to prepare for their last match against JKT Oljoro next weekend....

According to a Facebook post from the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, the alligator in question was found in the pond on a “newly purchased property” in Bibb County, Georgia. Out of concern for their “small children,” the homeowners wanted the alligator removed from the property; however, it “refused to come out of the water.” So, the sheriff’s office sent animal enforcement officer Rebecca Galeazzo, who used raw chicken to lure the gator out from the pond and into a dog trap....

Damn right. Proud of it too. Well, yes. You know about my father and his background, being a coal miner. My father was 54 when I was born, and my mother died when I was 10. I was the youngest of six kids. I used to have to get up in the morning, shovel coal in the furnace, get the heat going. But I mean, I didn’t think about being poor....

It isn’t just that Bill Clinton can still wow a crowd. It isn’t all the heads of state, Nobel Peace Prize winners, billionaires, and A-list celebrities (such as Brangelina and NBA center Dikembe Mutombo) who showed up. It’s that in contrast to the countless number of well-intentioned but usually meaningless conferences conducted every year, the Clinton Foundation has figured out how to do these things right. Based on a model originated a decade ago at a Philadelphia conference on America’s at-risk kids, CGI has strict rules....

As the afterglow of last week’s landmark Philadelphia speech on race fades, even many conservatives agree with liberal editorial writers that Obama’s approach was brilliant. I’m skeptical of that adjective and reluctant to hazard a guess about the political impact of the speech on blue-collar whites. Until the Pennsylvania primary on April 22, we won’t know if they even heard about the story of his white grandmother, or how he gave voice to white frustration about affirmative action and busing....

Those analysts were wrong; Obama didn’t become the “black candidate” then. And I hope they’re wrong again when they say that as long as Obama is talking about race instead of the economy and health care, he’s losing. For the bravest thing Obama did in his historic speech at the Constitution Center in Philadelphia was to ring the bell louder. He chose to focus on an uncomfortable topic that most Americans would rather leave unspoken....

Altidore refused to leave the match right away, though, believing he could still make a difference. After having his ankle looked at by the TFC trainer one more time, Altidore limped back onto the field, clearly still feeling the pain, but he fought it off long enough to deliver the play of the game, and the series. Eleven minutes after first being injured, Altidore worked a give-and-go with Victor Vazquez before mustering enough speed to spring free and slip a shot past Zack Steffen in the 60th minute, allowing a nervous BMO Field crowd to exhale as he let out a roar that had to be building for weeks....

Weiser, who also serves as a regent for the University of Michigan, made the highly controversial remarks during a political event in Michigan’s Oakland County. “Our job now is to soften up those three witches and make sure we have good candidates to run against them, that they are ready for the burning at the stake,” he said, referring to Whitmer as well as Michigan’s Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, both of whom are Democrats....

He went pro with the Arizona Cardinals and became known for his hippielike, shoulder-length hair–and his bone-rattling hits as a strong safety. But days after the terror of September 11, 2001, Tillman saw himself as just another millionaire athlete. “You know, my great-grandfather was at Pearl Harbor, and a lot of my family have… fought in wars,” he told a team camera crew, almost in shame. “And I haven’t really done a damn thing as far as laying myself on the line like that....

Perth needed to beat City by four goals to finish above their visitors in fourth and, though their attack fired impressively, their defence let them down in a thrilling 5-4 victory at nib Stadium. Jets part ways with Mark Jones The home faithful were given early encouragement when Neil Kilkenny bundled over Adam Taggart and Diego Castro slotted home the fifth-minute penalty, although Tim Cahill drilled home an equaliser when Bruce Kamau fed the ball into his path....

(1969). Start here. A concert recording released 26 years ago, this quintessential album still epitomizes the band at its best. The seven-song set leads off with a 23-minute version of “Dark Star,” a jazzy midtempo epic that continually knots up and then unravels like a musical quest for answers that never come. The band’s signature song for a quarter century, this loping tune is a continual source of inspiration for the band....

While Cassie Claiborne was still a teenager her mother told her, “When I was growing up, women weren’t made like you, so hard and strong.” As a young girl she was known only for fights and failure at school. But at the age of 10 she discovers her calling when Jimmy, her good-for-nothing father, takes her to a poolroom for the first time: “Cassie took a deep breath. This smelled better than anything in her life, better than a Christmas tree, better than the raspberry bush at the edge of the house, tangled with honeysuckle, better than Jimmy’s winter coat....

The Wand, released in October by Milestone Scientific Inc., of Livingston, N.J., uses a computerized pump to slowly release Novocain as the tip of the needle moves through the gum. The shot given to ease the pain no longer needs to hurt as much as the procedure. Inhale Therapeutic Systems in Palo Alto, Calif., is testing a device that allows diabetics to inhale insulin ““shots.'' An oral typhoid vaccine from Berna Products, of Coral Gables....
