Frequent Symptoms In children, allergic disease first occurs as atopic dermatitis (eczema) or food allergies. Children with atopic dermatitis are then at an increased risk of developing allergic rhinitis and asthma; both are more likely to occur in school-age children. Typically, atopic dermatitis goes away by adulthood, as do many types of food allergies. Allergic rhinitis and asthma, however, most often start during the adolescent, teenage, and young adult years, and are likely to persist throughout a person’s life....

Conte wins London Manager of the Year The England international saw off competition from Arsenal duo Hector Bellerin and Alex Iwobi, with Ademola Lookman and Ryan Sessegnon also nominated. Alli has emerged as one of English football’s brightest young talents, making a huge impression in his first season in the Premier League with Tottenham in 2015-16. His performances saw him earn his England debut in 2015, while he scored on his first start for his country with a stunning long-range effort against France at Wembley....

Whatever they choose to call it, though, it is a direct response to the Southeastern Conference’s decision to add athletic powers Texas and Oklahoma from the Big 12 in 2025 (or sooner). The discussions about an agreement between the three conferences first was reported by ESPN. According to a highly placed source at a member school, the alliance of the three leagues is to involve scheduling, the collective emphasis on broad-based athletic programs beyond football and, quite likely, a unified voice in governance....

There should be more exciting drama this week as the playoff chase heats up. Per usual, there are two games Saturday and two Sunday. The final game of the weekend might feature Memphis’ newly acquired QB Johnny Manziel, who would add some excitement to the matchup. MORE: What to know about Manziel’s contract We went 1-3 last week with our picks, bringing our season total to 11-8. We’ll break down each of the games below, but first let’s look at the schedule....

In a video uploaded to Facebook by the Fountain Valley Reptile Zoo in California, Juliette Brewer, the daughter of zoo owner Jay Brewer, can be seen sliding open a screen at an alligator enclosure to feed two reptiles some chicken from a plastic container full of meat. However, things take an unexpected turn when one of the alligators, who is affectionately known as Darth Gator, leans over the ledge of the enclosure to try and get a better grip on the piece of chicken being offered to him....

Rick Pollack, CEO and president of the American Hospital Association (AHA), told the Associated Press as of Wednesday, about 23 percent of hospitals across the country were reporting staff shortages. He added that this has led to people waiting to seek treatment for health concerns, which causes delays in diagnoses, the AP reported. Pollack said conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure worsen the longer they go without treatment....

The latest poll from Morning Consult found that 49 percent of voters believed the $600 checks did not provide enough support for the U.S. economy and American households, while 31 percent felt the package included the right amount of support. A small minority of voters (5 percent) said too much support was on offer in the relief bill, while 10 percent said they were unsure or had no opinion on whether the $600 sum was enough....

The poll, released Friday by The Economist/YouGov, found that 27 percent of all Americans view China as an enemy. Opinions were sharply split along party lines, with only 17 percent of Democrats believing the country is an enemy. A further 40 percent of all Americans agreed that the country is “unfriendly.” The only country that a clear majority of Americans described as an enemy was North Korea, with 56 percent, although nearly half felt the same way about Iran and 31 percent believed Russia is an enemy....

After promising Jacques Rogge and the International Olympic Committee that it would respect human rights, at least until the Games end, the regime moved in the opposite direction by stepping up its harassment of dissidents. While showing some important signs of maturity in joining regional efforts to deal with North Korean nukes, the government has found it hard to break bad habits: it took the bait in Tibet, indulging in stale denunciations of the Dalai Lama after cracking heads in the worst violence there in 20 years; it continues to back the military thugs in Burma, and promises of unfettered international press coverage and Internet access are proving worthless....

This article explains the risk factors for developing osteopenia, alternative therapies, and ways to maintain bone health. Risk Factors Your risk for osteopenia and osteoporosis is likely to increase as you get older. That’s because aging-related processes deplete minerals and mass from your bones. In addition, people who experience menopause are more prone to osteopenia and osteoporosis. In fact, 52% of women over 50 have osteopenia. That’s due to their naturally lower bone mineral density and certain bone-affecting hormonal changes that occur during menopause....

A number of legal experts have reacted to the revelations made in Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz’s resignation letter, who quit abruptly in February amid reports that Bragg would not be moving forward with a criminal case against Trump over allegations of felony tax fraud by the Trump Organization. In Pomerantz’s resignation letter, obtained by The New York Times, the prosecutor criticized Bragg’s decision to not push forward with the probe against Trump and feared that the DA’s hesitation will “doom any future prospects” of prosecuting the former president for crimes he is alleged to have committed....

Since that first Camp David session with Blair, and particularly since September 11, Bush has repeatedly invoked the memory of Churchill. But now that Bush is charging ahead against Saddam Hussein, the British prime minister isn’t acting quite like The Last Lion. While Bush says “time is running out on Saddam Hussein” and that he’s “sick and tired of games and deception,” Blair says he wants to give the U....

Military bases are flooded with religious literature, Christian literature in particular, and “Experiencing God Day by Day” is notable mostly for its serious tone and its orthodox approach to evangelical Christian theology. The book presents a daily verse from Scripture and a commentary on that verse; its intention is to help readers keep God ever present in their minds. “For me, the book is a little reminder to take a deep breath and reflect on something other than the war for a few minutes,” says Maj....

The gravelly deep voice states that the Alaskan was “born in the wake of an avalanche” and killed a “grizzly bear in self-defense.” He “prospected for gold” and offered up a chance for donors to join him for “an Alaskan adventure” while he was skiing down a mountainside. You wouldn’t peg the man on your screen for a wannabe-United States senator. But not only does Dr. Gross, an orthopedic surgeon who has become a health care policy wonk, want to become just that, he also wants to do it against higher odds: As an independent in a state that has not elected one to Congress since 1906....

Although the Penguins have worn a lighter hue of gold since the turn of the 21st century — “Vegas gold” — the team has revived their brighter, traditional “Pittsburgh gold” for the current playoff run. Rumors abound that it will be restored on a full-time basis starting next season, the team’s 50th in the National Hockey League.

is a thriller, but it’s a thriller like no other. Maybe a le Carre novel comes closest, with its brainy characters enmeshed in deliciously intricate conundrums fraught with moral, emotional and geopolitical dangers. But le Carre, whose view of women can most charitably be called old-fashioned, could never have created a narrator as daring and self-sufficient as Smilla. Most extraordinary of all is the setting: this novel takes place in the snows of Greenland, the ice floes of the North Atlantic, the endless dark of a Copenhagen winter....

In a memo distributed to all the firm’s employees-and obtained by The Washington Post and NEWSWEEK –presiding partner Samuel Butler conceded that the decision to take on Credit Suisse was “a matter of great moral consequence.” But he defended the move, saying the participation of Cravath was the fastest way to get a “satisfactory resolution” for the Holocaust survivors. Stephen Gillers, a professor of legal ethics at New York University Law School, praised the memo and the long meeting as “highly unusual introspection....
