Allergies are diseases of the immune system that cause an overreaction to substances called "allergens." Allergies are grouped by the kind of trigger, time of year or where symptoms appear on the body: indoor and outdoor allergies (also called "hay fever," "seasonal," "perennial" or "nasal" allergies), food allergies, latex allergies, insect allergies, skin allergies and eye allergies. People who have allergies can live healthy and active lives.

What are Allergies
Allergies reflect an overreaction of the immune system to substances that usually cause no reaction in most individuals. These substances can trigger sneezing, wheezing, coughing and itching. Allergies are not only bothersome, but many have been linked to a variety of common and serious chronic respiratory illnesses (such as sinusitis and asthma). Factors such as your family history with allergies, the types and frequency of symptoms, seasonality, duration and even location of symptoms (indoors or outdoors, for example) are all are taken into consideration when a doctor diagnoses allergies. Additionally, allergic reactions can be severe and even fatal. However, with proper management and patient education, allergic diseases can be controlled, and people with allergies can lead normal and productive lives.Common Allergic Diseases

There are those who like to say that demography is destiny. And if that's true, then our destiny is becoming increasingly clear. The unclear part may be what to do because of it, particularly as it affects Medicare and Social Security.
Consider, for instance, a recent release from the U.S. Census Bureau.
According to that release, the population in the U.S. is projected to grow much more slowly over the next several decades, but the population age 65 and older is expected to more than double between 2012 and 2060, from 43.1 million to 92.0 million.
What's more, the older population in the U.S. would represent just over one in five U.S. residents by the end of the period, up from one in seven today, the Census Bureau said.
And the increase in the number of the "oldest old" would be even more dramatic—those 85 and older are projected to more than triple from 5.9 million to 18.2 million, reaching 4.3% of the total population," according to the release.
Read the report: U.S. Census Bureau Projections Show a Slower Growing, Older, More Diverse Nation a Half Century from Now.

The Census Bureau also said baby boomers, defined as persons born between 1946 and 1964, number 76.4 million in 2012 and account for about one-quarter of the population. In 2060, when the youngest of them would be 96 years old, they are projected to number around 2.4 million and represent 0.6% of the total population.
In addition, the Census Bureau said projections show the older population would continue to be predominately non-Hispanic white, while younger ages are increasingly minority. Of those age 65 and older in 2060, 56% are expected to be non-Hispanic white, 21.2% Hispanic and 12.5% non-Hispanic black.
Other highlights from the release:
- The nation's total population would cross the 400 million mark in 2051, reaching 420.3 million in 2060.
- In 2056, for the first time, the older population, age 65 and over, is projected to outnumber the young, age under 18.
- The working-age population (18 to 64) is expected to increase by 42 million between 2012 and 2060, from 197 million to 239 million, while its share of the total population declines from 62.7% to 56.9%.
So what to make of all this? What might policy makers and retirees and those planning to retire do in light our destiny?
A crisis brewing for Social Security and Medicare
Timothy Harris, a principal at Milliman and author of "Living to 100 and Beyond," had this to say: "We've seen the economic and social turmoil in Europe where countries have promised more to their populations than they can deliver," he said, making reference to a recent article in The Atlantic. "As I was doing research for my "Living to 100 and Beyond" book, I kept wondering how European countries were able to afford the retirement and health programs that were on their books. Apparently they weren't."
In the U.S., he said, we're starting to grapple with the impact of our aging population on state and municipal retirement programs, but have yet to face the impact of these demographic changes on Social Security and Medicare. "Politicians have a short-term focus, the next election, and the voters that elect them are aging," he said. "Given that short-term focus and an aging electorate, we're headed for gradually increasing crises in these programs."
Growing population will strain resources
Harris also said projections such as those from the Census Bureau fail to consider the impact of limited resources on long-term population growth.

Mailbag: What's a STAR smog test? Bicyclists must follow rules of the road
We've had several readers write in asking what the new STAR smog test program is. Here's an answer: The state Bureau of Automotive Repair on Jan. 1 changed its smog test program by eliminating Gold Shield smog-check stations, which generally handled potentially high polluting vehicles, and creating STAR test stations, which must meet a higher performance standard for technicians and the stations themselves as set by the bureau. Some of the STAR stations are test only while others can do… Read More »

The major concern of the United States in the current Israeli-Hamas conflict is a potential Israeli ground incursion into Gaza, U.S. officials said Friday.
That would be a disastrous escalation that could trigger a larger conflict, a senior U.S. official told CNN.
"Escalation is what we are concerned about. We don't want it to escalate to the point where Israel feels it has to take additional action, specifically ground force action," the official said.
Israel has some ground forces on the border and ready to act if they are called to do so, said Israel's ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, in a conference call with reporters Friday.
Israel's Cabinet on Friday authorized the call-ups of up to 75,000 reservists, prime minister's spokesman Mark Regev said. Israel's military said earlier in the day that 30,000 troops are being mobilized for a possible move into Gaza.
So far, Israeli tank units and troops have stayed outside Gaza. But the senior U.S. official indicated while the United States unequivocally supports Israel's right to self-defense, the U.S. message right now is for Israel not to enter Gaza on the ground.
"Ground forces would clearly be a major escalation," he said.
The official said the worry is Israeli ground troops could lead to drawing Egypt into the conflict.
"What action would Egypt take, would they move into Sinai?" he said.
He said the assessment is that a number of other Arab nations in the region would then, at least rhetorically, join with Egypt against Israel. The official emphasized this is a U.S. worry and the strong hope is Hamas will stop its rocket attacks on Israel, thereby ending Israeli strikes.
"The question also is how much Hamas wants to risk," the official said.
A second official said the United States also is watching closely to see if Iran, which backs Hamas, attempts to infiltrate new fighters or weapons supplies into Gaza. Neither official would speak on the record because they were discussing sensitive national security matters.
Daniel Ben Simon, an Israeli Knesset member not aligned with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition, said Friday that he sensed "almost an absence" from Washington, adding, "It's time for the Americans to step in."
"We need the boss, and the boss is still the White House," Ben Simon said, calling U.S. officials "the only ones that can control the situation and ... talk freely" to all sides. "It seems the White House is too silent."
U.S. President Barack Obama did talk Friday with Netanyahu, after the Israeli prime minister called him to voice "deep appreciation ... for the United States' investment in the Iron Dome rocket and mortar defense system," the White House said.
"The president reiterated U.S. support for Israel's right to defend itself, and expressed regret over the loss of Israeli and Palestinian civilian lives," the statement said. "The two leaders discussed options for de-escalating the situation."
Obama called Egyptian President Mohammed Morsy, commending "Egypt's efforts to de-escalate the situation and (expressing) his hope that these efforts would be successful," the White House said in another statement. The president also "expressed regret for the loss of Israeli and Palestinian civilian lives."
The State Department says Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has made a number of phone calls trying to muster international pressure to stop what it terms a "very, very dangerous situation" in Gaza.
Clinton, traveling in Asia, called Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr for the second time in as many days, as well as Jordanian King Abdullah and Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Friday.
"In all cases her message has been the same: that we are urging a de-escalation of this conflict, we are urging those countries with influence on Hamas and other groups in Gaza to use that influence to get a de-escalation."
There will be other calls, Nuland said, to other countries to maximize pressure on Hamas. "I think we are all in the same place. The Egyptians are, the Turkish government is," she said.
Nuland added that the United States is encouraged that Egypt is involved in what she termed "urgent diplomacy."
The Egyptian prime minister was in Gaza on Friday, and Nuland said the call was an opportunity to get an update on that visit and to get a sense from the Egyptians in the wake of the visit what further steps they can take to help de-escalate the situation.
The U.S. Navy is continuing to keep to the standard deployment of three warships in the eastern Mediterranean that can shoot down ballistic missiles fired by Iran that would threaten Israel. Those ships are not equipped to deal with the short-range rockets being used by Hamas.
The Navy also has quietly made the decision to keep three amphibious warships with several hundred Marines on board in the vicinity of the Mediterranean in the unlikely event they might be needed to assist Americans leaving Israel.
Three U.S. military officials stressed strongly that the scenario is very unlikely.
"No one has even drawn an evacuation plan on the back of a cocktail napkin yet," one official said. But the three ships have been told to stay in place until there is more certainty about what is happening.
The U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv took precautionary measures Friday, reducing its staff and suspending routine consular services, according to an embassy security message. Additionally, embassy staff were instructed to keep their children home from school for the day and were prohibited from traveling to the south of Israel.

Jews are God Chosen People. We were given the holy land by God. Christians and Muslims should take their sorry ass somewhere else.
I agree with you. I hate Christian who question why we are killing people. They forget that in Bible it is written that Jews should rule the Earth before Jesus will come back
Really, so killing babies and women is okay in your religion? Oh I forgot thats why God sent Jesus to get you out of your misery. Convert to Christianity, a religion of peace.
Atleast we are killing them with precision. Thanks to our friend USA for providing us Weapons. America is our only ally who has always supported us.
I would love nothing more than for the United States to leave the Jews and Arabs to there own devices, we need to drill for our own oil and let you people eat each other like dogs in the street. I wouldnt spend a single american life to defend either of you. A Jew is no more chosen by any God than a German is chosen by Nature to be the master race.Your head is so full of delusion I can smell it from here.
"We the Jews are the chosen people. Therefore, without question, we are the best. People of Israel are superior to all. G-D has made everyone to be used or serve at the pleasure of the Jews "
Rabbi Ben Artzi
raciist, religiously deluded, idiot
Antisemetic rants are the last resort of the crazy Arabs and other similar degenerates .
Stop arguing with these crazy Arabs you'll get nowhere. Look how they treat their women. Enough said! Uncivilized group of people.
you jews are the biggest criminals and liars on earth..you are right about being the chosen people u are the chosen criminals, liars and thieves of this world. pathetic and discusting people.
You are low life Arab. We have the right to kill all non Jews.
team Israel;
sorry Gaza, you haven't been arresting anyone for causing international incidents by firing rockets from your land, so you must condone and approve. deal with it.
You must not blame others when they say nasty things about Israel. There is nothing, least of all the reasons that Israel has laid out, for the massive onslaught on the poorly armed Gazans. This is nothing but to pacify Gaza prior to dealing with Iran. As an American I feel ashamed that we instead of standing by the side of the weak are siding with the bully. Mr. Obama has not even started his second term and he has already began to let down his ardent supporters. The President should stand up for American values and principals . It is these that make the US a moral force and a super power.
Frankly, I couldnt give a damn about the Jews or the Arabs, we should drill our own oil and leave them to fight it out in the street like dogs. Do you really CARE who runs what over their? Would that even effect us in any possible way if we drilled our own oil? No it wouldnt. Our "national security" is in no danger from the fanatic fringe elements we call "terrorists". They could never take us down in a million years, but if we allow our fear of them to dictate policy, then they can. Our civil liberties are under daily, constant attack from our own government, but no one seems to care, as it has become common place. Casualties from a terrorist attack every once in awhile is a small price to pay in order to maintain our civil liberty. Those costs would be far lower than the casualties we sustain from those that would promise us "security" yet send our boys across the globe as cannon fodder for the interests of the banking cartels and military industrial complex. Freedom in a dangerous world is far preferable to slavery in a safe one. Keep your cage, I dont want it. Fact is, the psudo left that fights tooth and nail to block oil exploration and drilling are playing into the very interests that need an insanely huge military presence across the globe to maintain profits and keep us embedded in the foriegn entanglements of the middle east. These entanglements keep us in ever increasing commitments both fiscally and strategically, all to the detriment of the homeland.
There use to be a name for Darryls, called Ostrich Democrats came about in the 80s, when US democrats refuse to acknowledge the threat of Soviet domination in Central America- ignore the problem and it will go away – is the theory. Darryl is probably to young, to have heard of Neville Chamblerlin- and his denial and appeasement of Adolf Hliter- (who at the time was claimed to be irrelevent – didnt matter – can't hurt us ). Tell the families of 9 11, how terrorism- can'thurt us -.Thanks Darrly for your commentary- it's sheds light on the emerging culture ignorance and indifference, that is taking over the American psychie, by these young air heads reaching adulthood (physically not mentally).
LOL, You cannot compare the designs of a superpower like the USSR diametrically opposed to the United States with "terrorism"....thats just vapid. Im no leftist, far from it actually, I only care what is in the best interests of the United States, not whats in the best interests of Isreal or the "International community". If we drilled for our own oil and became energy independant, what happens in the middle east would no longer be our problem, it would be Europes, and they would have to adjust their defense strategy accordingly. I would be happy with dominating our half of the globe and leaving the rest up for grabs. We are nearing an impending crisis and are unable to maintain the level of military presence we have across the globe, it weakens us, it dosnt make us stronger. It simply makes us that much bigger a target to be drawn into foriegn wars by having to "save face" and escalate any attacks made against us...and for what? It dosnt benifit anyone but defense contractors and the banks that finance them. We are plenty powerful without having to prove it on a daily basis. Far from being an appeaser, I would of nuked the "holy" city of Mecca after 9/11 and then ask the muslims why thier god didnt stop me.
Why the islamic world talk so much for the of the Palestinian right. No islamic countries will have the will nor guts to fight out military with Isreal stop talking and show action to solve this criss
It is funny how we kid our selves about what is real and what is not real. Israel is reacting to anger that has been fermenting for thousands of years. In reality they have o one to blame but themselves for claiming thousands of years ago that their god was the only god and that he loved them more than anyone else. Who am I to say what god is real and who that god may happen to love. What I know is this: Israel spent thusands of years wandering this planet. they settled in many different countries. They held on to their beilefs and their ways of life. During a short and tragic time in the history of our world they were tormented and killed in numbers beyond the pale of consciousness. In 1948 they found the money to buy the weapons and take back land they claim their god gave them. They won that fight and the whole world recognized them as a nation and gave them soveirngty. ( misspelled that my bad). In the 60's full of the courage that comes from being recognized they began their expansion. It is funny how approval brings colonization. That sad part is that in 1948 and every year afterwards Israel has been expanding their boundaries. Those boundaries are putting people out of their homes. Isreael is doing this based on a concept that "god" has given them the right to do so. Unfortunately in today's world, it is the deed of trust that gives ownership. Now we can all say that the bible, the Torah, the Koran are the words of our gods, but the truth is the deed of trust is the rule of law.
Israel needs to stop expanding and the Arabs and Palestinians need to find a way to forgive their cousins and start the process of peace. if we do not do that then war is coming and it will be a war that no god can save us from.
It is hard to forgive when the lives of those you love have been taken. God knows the Palestinians and the Jews know that more than we care to imagine.
For me I want peace. I want to embrace every person and let them know we are all brothers and sisters in this life. sure we think and act differently but in the end we are all part of this one human race. I hope they work it out but in the even you do not get ready for judgement and it wont be coming from god, It will be coming from the consequences of your irrational anger.
I agree with you on all the theological nonsense with no basis in physical reality. The only way we can achieve peace(at least for the United States) is through complete energy independence. The left does not realize they play into the hands of the oil/military industrial complex interests by blocking oil exploration and drilling. The large defense contractors DONT want energy independance because it would make our currently massive military presence around the world redundant and unecessary, slashing profits under the massive demobilization that would be the end result of not having to guard foriegn access to oil. Until we produce all of our own energy and then some, we will continually be embedded in foriegn entanglements across the planet that do much more to threaten national security by drawing us into conflicts that have the potential to become world wars than anything that could possibly invade us through any direct invasion or terrorist attack. Our current state of affairs in the united states, both economically and militarily, are quite frankly, insane.
Why deplete ours now, when we can deplete theirs first?
First, none of the Jews I know feel God loves them "more". Second, Israel has not been expanding its borders every year. In fact they have evacuated their people from Gaza, S. Lebanon, and the Sinai.
Why the USA and world media not tell the world what is happening. why they do not tell the world that the jews kill the palestinians to take the blood!!. they take the blood and knead it in the matzos. the arab and palestinine media will only tell the world what the jews do with the blood. THE WORLD MUST KNOW THE TRUTH THEY USE THE BLOOD FOR THE MATZOS!!.the arab people are only to be told the truth. the USA must be know to the truth why they lie to the people at home? This is the world conspiracy of silence.
you are so full of it. you claim that Israel kills to sop up blood to make their matzo. you are part of the problem there are Jews just like you and they are part of the problem as well. your anger is so telling. I have no idea who you have lost in this anger but I do know that anger is all that drives you not judgement, not rational thinking just anger. Take a breath and hug your children and your wife if they are still with you. learn how to forgive and move beyond the anger and understand that pain comes to all of us and it is how we process that pain that makes us men.
You cover yours eyes ears in america to not know the truth. you sit at safety of your home and shop in the malls. while the arabs are murdered the blood is used by the zionist butchers for the matzos wether you want to know or not. it is truth to be known in arab world. we are known to the truth while butchers seek to coverup and ignore. sleep well in home while the babies are murdered. enjoy your matzos!!! the truth is well to be known in palestine.
Sultan... Truth is subject to the side you are on. I think you know this based on your comments. The fact is the middle east is in turmoil – more than in previous years due to the introduction of more powerful weapons. Israel is no better that the rest. That said, we can't possibly look at the actions of one without gauging the actions of all in the middle east. The region is chaotic, confused, and desparate. My fear is that the dispondent populations in the middle east will lead to the next world war – one that they will inevitably lose, but will result in the unneccessary deaths of thousands. One hope remains, and that is education. The smarter we become, the less likely we are to fall victim to propoganda and faith filled rhetoric that is nothing more that fodder.
I,ve got the best solution for the jews to live in peace and harmony, and I guarantee you there won'be another rocket fired at them, And that solution is leave palestine at once, go back to Europe, and America. As long as they accupy some one els's land they will never ever be in peace, LOOk after 70 years what they go through, and things gets from worse and worst.
I think the United States should just drill its own oil and leave the middle east to its own devices...rendering any interest by the United States in jewish/arab relations irrelevent.
Right Wing Animals!
Hitler would be proud!
The middle east is like a nest of fire ants that never settles down. All the countries there just take turns with each other. It would be easier to dig out Israel and make it an island resort. Then we can talk about no arms allowed anywhere near it.
Do some research and you'll find that Wolf Blitzer started his career in Israel he then worked as the editor of AIPAC for their monthly publication, the Near East Report. While at AIPAC, Blitzer's writing focused on Middle East affairs as they relate to United States foreign policy. He openly admits to being a ZlONlST before going to work for CNN in 1990. Even Anderson Cooper has ties to the oligarchy that rules our society. Cooper was born on June 3, 1967, the younger son of the writer Wyatt Emory Cooper and the artist, designer, writer, and heiress Gloria Vanderbilt. His maternal grandparents were millionaire equestrian Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt and socialite Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, and his maternal great-great-great-grandfather was Cornelius Vanderbilt of the prominent Vanderbilt shipping and railroad fortune. CNN is the enemy to America and Americans.
Zionist? You are a racist and bigot. Good luck with that.
"The ZlONlST Organization of America (ZOA), founded in 1897, was one of the first official ZlONlST organizations in the United States, and, especially early in the 20th century, the primary representative of Jewish Americans to the World ZlONlST Organization, espousing primarily Political ZlONlSM. The ZOA was initially founded in 1896 as the Federation of American ZlONlSTS." "James Mayer de Rothschild's other son, Edmond James de Rothschild (1845–1934) was very much engaged in philanthropy and the arts, and was a leading proponent of ZlONlSM." "In 1917 Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild was the addressee of the Balfour Declaration to the ZlONlST Federation, which committed the British government to the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people." "James A. de Rothschild financed the Knesset building as a gift to the State of Israel and the Supreme Court of Israel building was donated to Israel by Dorothy de Rothschild." "Dorothy de Rothschild continued the ZlONlST interests of her father-in-law and husband, and was a close friend of Chaim Weizmann. She became chairman of Yad Hanadiv, the Rothschild family charities in Israel, and saw through her husband's gift of funds to build the Knesset and her own gift of the Supreme Court of Israel building."-Wikipedia
You can listen to Wolf Blitzer on Youtube promoting ZlONlSM, all you have to do is look it up.
you know what jim you are tiresome. Okay so you know the h=whole scoop on Anderson Cooper, uber rich white boy, out of the closet and and loving the jews. Give me a break dude. get a life and let Anderson Cooper and CNN do what they do which is report the news. just because you did not come form wealthy parents and dont have a great job and are upset that Anderson does not find you attractive is that really any reason to beat him up. get a life dawg. any life seriously.
I always wondered what the big deal about anderson cooper was....I always thought...what did he EVER do to deserve so much praise and attention....a few photo ops near a war zone? But you comment makes more sense, his parents bought his way in to the news industry....makes sense,
Palistine is UNARMED; Israel is UNHARMED,
yet the media can't see the differnce!
Yes, unarmed besides thousands of Qassam 2 missiles. The reason why Israel is unharmed is because Hamas is unable to aim their missiles, and their U.S. backed 70% missile defense system.
I, as probably you, want this conflict to end, but please base you reason on facts and not emotion.
Looks like all the crazy people have crawled out of the gutters and are ranting raving. Listen up: Israel is besting the crap out of the squatters.
America should continue to watch our back and keep supplying the ammo .
The Israelis were not the ones randomly sending over lethal rockets that randomly killed its people. No one should have to live in a situation like that. That is outrageous! All people have a right to defend themselves. The Israelis have every right to ensure that rockets will no longer be a potential threat to its citizens. It wouldn't matter if the Israelis were Jews, Muslims, or anyone else. No one should be living in a situation in which lethal rockets are radomly sent their way.
They're unarmed but yet they fire rockets into Isreal daily. Most of you folks are so angry and emotional you are without reason.
If Hamas andPalestine are unarmed where are the bombs coming from. I agree that Israel should allow the palestinians to reclaim thier land. I have always held that position, none the less Hamas and most of the araB WORLD HATES ISRAEL AND WANTS THEM DESTROYUED, what is up with that. seriously. I know they said their god is bigger and baddder than everyone else s god and loves them the most but for real who cares. I mean the Arabs formed Islam based on the teachings of a prophet named Mohammed and his beliefs are that the god of the Jews is the same god as the Muslims so what are you all fighting about: Land and the truth is real estate law is pretty straight forward. you do not need a gun or a missile to enforce it just a court.. but Hamas and most Arabs don't want to use the law they want to use anger and hatred. You cant blame Israel for wanting to fight back, regardless of whether or not you support their initial move in 1948.
Fair and balanced coverage from mainstream media, finally!
Only irony is, the situation is neither fair nor balanced! Palestinians are practically unarmed. Israel is pulverizing them, yet the media keeps saying explosions rock gaza AND israel. Which "explosions" are "rocking" israel? Can't believe these hoars can go to sleep at night after lying thru their teeth. And CNN is spying for israel – how, you might ask. – by showing pictures of what sites were hit in real time, giving feedback to israel about which targets were hit and which ones weren't. Fair is foul and foul is fair in today's world. Amraeli justice!
January 1
Palestinians fired two mortar shells containing phosphorus into Eshkol Regional Council. The shells landed in open fields, causing no injuries or damage.[4] The Eshkol Regional Council filed a formal complaint with the United Nations, noting that the Geneva Conventions prohibit the use of phosphorus against civilians.[5]

Between about 6:30 and 9:16 pm, Palestinians fired 8 rockets into the Shaar Hanegev and Ashkelon Coast regional councils, causing no injuries or damage. Local residents were instructed to stay within 15 seconds of bomb shelters in case of additional attacks. Israeli security officials estimated that the attacks were so timed because of the stormy weather, which limits the effectiveness of rocket detection systems.[14][15][16] Next day, Israeli warplanes struck six targets in Gaza in response to previous rocket attacks, hitting two weapons storage facilities, three tunnels used for terror activities and a weapons manufacturing facility.[17]
February 6
Palestinians fired a Qassam rocket into the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council, causing no injuries or damage. The Color Red alarm sounded near in the area prior to the explosion.[18]

The rocket exploded between two homes, sending shrapnel that penetrated one of the homes while civilians were sitting in the living room. The rocket also damaged an electrical pole, cutting off power. No injuries were reported.[19]
February 11
Palestinians fired a rocket into the Eshkol Regional Council, causing no injuries or damage.[20] Israel responded to the attack and to the previous one with air strikes on three tunnels used for terror activity – in the south, center and north of the Gaza Strip – and a weapons manufacturing facility in the north. Officials in the Hamas-ruled territory said that one civilian man was killed and another was wounded.[21]

In the morning, a third Qassam rocket[283] and two Grad missiles exploded near Beersheba.[284] The Popular Resistance Committees claimed responsibility for one of the Grad missiles.[285][286] The Beersheba municipality cancelled school; Mayor Rubik Danilovich explained that the decision resulted from experience, saying, "We've had four direct hits on schools, and each of those times was when we were told to resume normalcy."[286] In the afternoon, another rocket landed near Ashkelon.[287]
October 29
Throughout the night and morning, Palestinians fired 20 rockets and mortars at Sderot and the Ashkelon Coast Regional Council. Residents of these towns were cautioned to stay within 15 seconds of reinforced "secure rooms" for protection in case a rocket fell.[288][289]

November 10
After the previous day's unsuccessful retaliatory efforts for the killing of the 13 year-old Palestinian boy, Palestinian militants fire an anti-tank missile at an IDF jeep patroling the border, wounding 4 soldiers [299]. IDF forces responded with tank fire, killing 4 Palestinians on a football playground (aged 16,17,18 and 19) and wounding 38 [297]. Further airstrikes killed 2 Palestinian militants. Palestinians then fired 25 rockets at Ashkelon, Ashdod, Gan Yavne and other communities. The Iron Dome anti-rocket system intercepted at least one rocket aimed at Ashdod.[300] IDF airstrikes destroyed several Palestinian targets which the IDF alleged were being used for military purposes, including a water tank, an electricty company office, a brick factory, a metal workshop, a concrete factory, a poultry farm, and an agricultural store, damaging several houses, and wounding 13 Palestinian civilians [301].
November 11
Gazan groups fired over 100 rockets and mortars at Israeli cities and towns. A barrage against Sderot, timed to coincide with the morning commute to work, injured 3 people. One victim, physical education teacher Moshik Levy, was moderately wounded by shrapnel and glass from his car windshield which exploded in his face. A fourth person was injured while fleeing for cover, and five more people were treated for acute stress reaction. Two homes, one in Sderot and one in the Eshkol Regional Council, were damaged by direct rocket hits. United States Ambassador Dan Shapiro declared that his country "supports Israel's right to defend itself and its citizens from these attacks."[300]

Main article: Operation Pillar of Cloud
Local children from the town of Kiryat Malachi running for shelter as an air siren sounds. The previous day, three civilians were killed by a rocket strike in Kiryat Malachi.
Following the Israeli targeted killing of Hamas military chief Ahmed Jabari, Palestinians fired over 20 rockets at Israeli cities[citation needed]. For the first time, a Grad missile was fired toward Dimona, home to Israel's Negev Nuclear Research Center. Seventeen Grad missiles were fired at Beersheba. One rocket directly hit a store in the city, lightly injuring one woman. Another exploded into a car, setting it on fire. Several other buildings were reportedly damaged. Additional rockets were launched at Ashkelon and the Eshkol Regional Council. The Iron Dome defense system intercepted some 15 rockets. Israeli authorities asked residents within range of rocket fire to remain within 15 seconds of a bomb shelter at all times. Municipalities in the region, including those of Beersheba, Ashdod and Ashkelon, cancelled school for the following day.[303][304]
On 15 November, all schools within 40 kilometers of the Gaza Strip were closed down, and 13 Israelis were injured during the night. One rocket struck an apartment in Kiryat Malachi, killing 3 civilians, including a pregnant woman. The victims were Mirah Scharf (25), Itzik Amsalem (24), and Aharon Smadja (49).[305][306][307] 5 were injured in the same attack, including children and infants. A house in Ashdod and a school in Ofakim were also struck by rockets.
Over 740 rockets were fired at Israel between November 14 and 17.[308] Rockets were fired at Jerusalem for the first time and at Tel Aviv for the first time since the Gulf War.[309][310
Do some research and you'll find that Wolf Blitzer started his career in Israel he then worked as the editor of AIPAC for their monthly publication, the Near East Report. While at AIPAC, Blitzer's writing focused on Middle East affairs as they relate to United States foreign policy. He openly admits to being a ZlONlST before going to work for CNN in 1990. Even Anderson Cooper has ties to the oligarchy that rules our society. Cooper was born on June 3, 1967, the younger son of the writer Wyatt Emory Cooper and the artist, designer, writer, and heiress Gloria Vanderbilt. His maternal grandparents were millionaire equestrian Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt and socialite Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, and his maternal great-great-great-grandfather was Cornelius Vanderbilt of the prominent Vanderbilt shipping and railroad fortune. CNN is the enemy to America and Americans.
Has Mr. Aame Ama Ahmanijaad said anything about this yet?
No, but Alarour has been talking.
Egypt will be drawn in? Is that a joke? CNN, you are so far behind my FB and Twitter feed live on the ground that you are entirely obsolete.
This whole thing is really very concerning to the civilized world, we definitely need some ceasefire soon from both side. There are thousands other beautiful things in this world other than just fighting. I believe in Santa so I am writting a letter to Santa in santaletter4you to end this conflict as soon as possible. I know if you wish something with your true heart, Santa listens it and hope this christmas will be peaceful for this whole world.
robert go to sleep and dont wake up until we call you. it is okay santa said it will be okay
The Jews are turning the Palestinians into a new Nutcraker parable. Holocaust of the Palestinians in the Gaza Concentration camp.
Iscruel's current behavior is casting serious doubts about the veracity of their hollow-cause claims. If joos then were vicitims of the kind that they are claiming to be now (of Gazans), one wonders if one should believe them in what really happened. As time went by, they probably had to concoct and modify their stories in the difficult attempt to convince the rational world that they were the victims, and MrHit-leur was selectively killing just them. sorry for my spellings – I can't write simple ABC when I notice abc censeurs!
you don't think Israel will counter attack when fired upon? The world has said "Israel use restraint??? and they did, but finally got tired of using restraint" YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad to see our newly elected POTUS weighing in on the subject with his sage advice. He stated, "... if Israeli troops are in Gaza they are much more at risk of being wounded." Really? In a war? Thank you for clarifying that Mr. President.
POTUS was too busy keeping the college girls giggling over romnesia jokes to take care of serious israeli business - and netanyahu is just as crazy for being satisfied with the quality of relations - the lack of FACE-TO FACE
POTUS incompetence will result in unnecessary bloodshed. - If Hamas was shooting missiles all this time for months then why the hell didn't Obamabi-poo meet with Netanyahu long ago to de-escalate the tension instead of just giving them the iron dome? This pure pure incomptence in foreign leadership and US-Israeli relations -the Media is giving Poo Poo a deadly free pass again. This is NUTS!
FACE-TO -FACE - MANO O MANO - YOUR WIMPS. What's up with the sissy phone calls? This is CRAZY CRAP - and the Pagans just laugh and wait for the blodd to spurt all over the east med map right?
If Israel invades Gaza - the bloodshed will be all over the POTUS and media hands. POTUS had no business in Thailand prancing around Buddha with our Secretary of State Clinton. this is an outrage to the highest degree. POTUS and Clinton needed to be with Netanyahu and Hamas at the table –talking tough firm crap. Everyone here are just weak wimps.
Simon and Garfunkel "Mrs. Robinson" to Michelle Poo - Obambi prancing around Thailand - It's a little secret, just the Obama's affair - Koo koo ka-choo Boston Hot Lips - Israel about to invade Gaza - Jesus loves you more than you will know.
Simon and garfunkel to Michelle Poo Poo: "Mrs. Robinson" while obambi prances around Thailan and Israel strats invading Gaza -Koo Koo Ka-choo - Jesus loves you more than you will know sweetie - IIt's a little secret, just the obama's affair - right "Boston Hot Lips"? (wink)
Time to send in American troops? Israeli lifes are SO IMPORTANT. Say, lets spend a few billion dollars from Sandy reconstruction for Israeli reconstruction instead. We already do that today. Damn i must be anti semite for questioning the right of Americans FIRST.
We don't have any reconstruction money to redirect. The democrats spent it all.
While CNN is counting, how many missiles does Iran have?
"Boston Hot Lips" Deval Patrick must be mad because he wasn't invited to the party
Didn't POTUS look delicious standing next to the Siamese Prime Minister?
Pres. Obama speaking from Far East Thailand: "Hamas, you bad cute boys - stop dropping missiles on the mean Jews. Can't you see I'm busy prancing in my tutus with the Siamese twin boys? We can talk about it later on the phone - we really need to do something about the voting procedures - all those long lines. Too bad Romney's people walked off and stayed home. How's the waether over there? We are still going to get those tax hikes since most of America made it a mandate. Got to pay for the "free stuff" the media jeers Mr. Romney about. Lots of luck over there, and God bless - tell Netanyahu that Jesus still loves him like I do."
"The major concern of the U.S. is the Israeli-Hamas conflict" - That is why the media gives the pretty POTUS another "free pass" (the first being the lame weak W.H. press conference, during whi ch time was wasted playing softball) and now Potus prances around in his tutus in Thailand calling America "one of the Pacific Nations." Where does the media place its priority with the darling Obambi-poo poo poo? His lame skinny black butt should have been in the mideast, meeting face to face with Netanyahu and Hamas leadership like a man. Oops, forget. He is a fem-dem. So okay, he is excused. Where are the REAL men like FDR? Reagan? Kennedy? Forget Dirty Boy Clinton. The POTUS needed to be at Israel, like Gov. Romney would have been. POTUS is a weak piece of crap - and the Media will not flush the toilet. What a stink!
I was just looking at the photos, especially photo # 5 or 6, not too sure, but one thing for sure, those soldiers did not look different than the Taliban what so ever, in look and thinking.
Arab Spring !
I be Assad is sure happy to be out of the news...lol
and the strong hope is Hamas will stop its rocket attacks on Israel, thereby ending Israeli strikes. the minute I read this, I stopped reading the rest of the biased article
People who want to be involved in this conflict, please go to the Middle East and volunteer for an army there. I am tired of paying for involvement in a religious war that has nothing to do with my family's religious beliefs. If we become involved, it should be as moderators trying to bring peace to two war-like tribes of zealots.
I am glad the US does not send missiles into other countries................... I think. When was the last time China or Russia bombed another country?
Where do you think Israel is getting it's missiles : The US of A.
I really think the people in the Middle East that think they will win in a war against isreal should see a shrink. Fireing rockets and blowing yourself up shows the world that you are animals and at one point or another animals get put down. The other person who commented Americans are dumb lol I guess that's why we live civilized and you live like dogs. I hope Iran or Egypt does something stupid so we can once and for all get this over with. The good Muslims from that region want this over also, some want to live in peace and raise their kids like normal people.
Oh right, because it does make Israel animals to take someone else's country and then now claim to be defending themselves as they prepare to go into a minimal speck of land with an all out attack on civilians. Im sorry but attacking a country full force that doesn't even have an army, navy or resources is genocide and a continuous effort to get rid of the only people who stand in their way to have a whole piece of land. It is outrageous and an over use of force. The Palestinian people have the right to take back what was theirs as well.
The Gaza strip is the largest prison on earth. The Jews are the wardens with the backing of the U.S. What do you expect prisoners to do? Did you see the piece 60 minutes had the other day about the Gaza strip? I would rather die than live like that. I don't blame this people for fighting back at all, I am sure you would do the same thing. The state of Israel is nothing but stolen land. Try to find a map before 1948 and see what was that country. Great Britain found out they made a mistake in helping make a state but us stupid Americans stucked around to help a rogue state.
Bunch of baloney! Crazy Arabs and anti Semites never give up do they!!
What are you saying Joe? Egypt has a population of 80 million, Israel has how much maybe 5 million? Let's be smart here. Israel wouldn't dare attack Egypt but what they are planning with the donkey Obama is to take the Sinai region of Egypt and move all Palestinians there in a dream that this will end the conflict. This is why people say Americans are stupid because people in power make these idiotic decisions that any 2 yr old child could clearly see will not work. Of course, President Morsi appointed by Obama will agree to giving up part of this country even against his own peoples frustrations but he's not in office to fulfill his citizens wants but rather Obamas wishes. So in summation, it is The Egyptian who is the ONLY victim in all of this garbage all the others deserve what they get.
I will be happy if Israel and Egypt start a war at least after it there will be no Israel to suck our blood.in a real war Egypt will smash Israel.
dude, dogs are no where near this bad. Humans are way more capable of being total pieces of garbage. Seriously, give dogs more credit than that.
Well said, especially considering the anagram of "Dog" and the inescapable fact that dogs exhibit more civilized characterisitcs than humans. We could learn much from dogs.
Human beings are nothing but parasites, and the Earth is their host. Parasites will fight one another over the host upon which they feed and eventually destroy. Ants have a higher IQ than human beings; they work together for the greater good, putting their own selfish needs aside. Too bad we humans can't behave that way. Nature and history are full of lessons, but we're too "intelligent" to pay attention.
This war should not start chewing up American Tax payers money. we should stop funding eitherway and take a strong stand that if its advise is not heeded. No UN Support and NO $$ for humanitarion or military support.
If you believe in America then You should feel ashamed and sorry for being an anti Israeli .
I am pro justice. If my country, America, and all that are in the government act unjust then as a true American I will speak up against them. I am not an Israeli, so I do not have a defense or offense against them but if my govt and my $ are used in the wrong side I will as an American speak up. American and Israeli don't go hand in hand, justice is blind for a reason.
THANK YOU. This is not my religious tradition. I find the violence disgusting, on both sides. I do not my taxes used to pay for it.
And I do not want my tax money to buy cellphones and health insurance for millions of obamabots, so what is your point?
Are you thanking me or the MORON
I am talking to the obamabot who thinks that she can selectively pick where her 200$ of tax go and rather buy an abortion than save a life in Israel.
: America should serve Israel. America's sole purpose should be to fulfill Israel's destiny. If you don't agree with this then you are a degenerate or a crazy arab
It is because of cowards and feeble minded individuals that america is no longer as strong as it used to be in the past. Nobama and other American "leaders" should learn from the Israelis to find out what leadership is all about.
Why don't you go to the Middle East and volunteer for an army? You could shoot "infidels" to your heart's content.
If not for the U.S. most Jewish leaders would be tried as war criminals. The U.N. and Europe have always had resolutions against Israel and only the U.S. vetoed them. What does that tell you, the rest of the world are smarter than us.
A leader like your Netuyahoo, did I spell that right? Oh who cares. I will refer to him as the baby killer that he is known to be!!! Ino, keep talking you are making the other sides argument much stronger.
Wah wah wah! Lets just sit back and let them take care of themselves...
Yeah let's sit back and let them take care of it. To make it a fair fight let's arm the prisoners so they would have a chance. Oh you say no no. Well I hope enough people from Iraq got thru to the Gaza strip to at least show them how to make the very successful I.E.D's. The Palestinians will lose no doubt but They will see how much damage and casualties they can cause. Hezbollah will be watching, I am sure they will test the circle of iron.At the end it will be our tax money to pay for the damage caused on both sides. Isn't that nice? Are we dumb or what?
Israel is continually taking Arab Palestinian land in the West Bank at the point of a gun ; and Ariel Sharon snubs President Obama's request that Israel stop adding fuel to the fire and stop building settlements on Arab land in the
West Bank. Instead of stopping, Ariel Sharon is increasing the pace. And in 1948 Israel purged their land of Arab Palestinians by rounding them up, confiscating their homes and shipping them off to Jordan or relocation centers. Is it any wonder that the Gaza strip Arab Palestinians are attempting to rectify these injustices by whatever means they have at their disposal?
Almost all people have in common a desire for peace based upon justice. The Israel leaders by refusing to give back to the Palestinians their land and the Hamas leaders by refusing to recognize Israel's right to exist have chosen the path of war.
A recent book, I SHALL NOT HATE written by a Gaza doctor, shines a bright light on the road to peace and human dignity and should be studied by the leaders of Israel and Hamas. It's been lauded by many men of good will including Elie Wiesel and Jimmy Carter.
neilbezaire – Without dissecting every comment that you made: (1) Before making a comment (or copying and pasting old posts), please check your facts. Ariel Sharon has been in a coma for nearly SEVEN years. Unless he has magical powers, I am not sure how he can do anything that you claim that he has done recently. (2) With respect to your comment: "The Israel leaders by refusing to give back to the Palestinians their land..." (and without engaging in a debate of whether it was "their land"), offers have been made over the years (see, for example, Barak's offer to then PLO leader Arafat to more than 98 percent of the West Bank) and the Palestinian leadership has declined.
I do agree, however, that "almost all people have in common a desire for peace based upon justice." I hope that is not lost on the parties.
Good eye Anonymous!
You are right, I confabulated Benjamin Netanyahu and Ariel Sharon. Without excusing myself, but by way of understanding the confabulation, both men are cut from the same cloth.
In this context I should have said "Benjamin Netanyahu snubs…"
During my lifetime I've witnessed the holocaust, the Zionist movement, and the formation of Israel and the purging of Arabs from their boarders and the Arabs retaliating and threatening Israel's right to exist and so I have no qualms about steadfastly standing by the rest of the comments.
Neil Bezaire
There was no "purge" of Arabs. 1 in 5 Israelis citizens are Palestinian. Get it? Not a purge.
Although there is disagreement as to the exact number, it is undisputed that because of Israeli military advances, attacks against Arab villages and fears of massacre around 700,000 Palestinian Arabs were forced out of the new nation of Israel in 1948. I called it a purge because to me that seemed like it was a purge. But that is only a label I afixed to the horrific facts. Please feel free to name it whatever suits your sensibilities.
Just youtube oeGmcafoT3s to see BB's at his best. Americans are so dumb.
oh now the US wants to put its 2 cents in wher have the been in the last 4 years !!!!!
I fear that Hamas would like nothing better than to see an invasion by Israel. That, in their minds, would rally the support of Egypt and other Arab countries to come to the aid of Hamas and Gaza, perhaps militarily. With the fighting in Syria, I am sure that the Syrian Government, Iran, and other Arab allies would love to have a justification to unify against Israel. Let us hope that peace is what the leaders of all countries want more than anything, the problem is I am not convinced that to be true. All of the rockets that have come from Gaza for months now are nothing more than to provoke Isreal into taking action. Hamas may want to get something going to prevent Israel from taking out Iran's Nuclear facilities and to unite all Arabs to confront Israel. It is potentially an explosive situation that I pray will deescalate. Everyone on this earth has a right to exist. War is rediculous, human life is prescious, all human life.
Wow! There are some very nasty posters here. First, forget about religion being the issue here. Someone else stated it very eloquently in an earlier post...this is about control/power and greed...apparently, a fundamental characteristic of most men, no matter where they were born. Men are uncivilized. Women should rule this world, and men should worship/follow them, knowing full well that it is the best way to evoke any sort of peacefullness on this planet.
Having said that, I am afraid there is nothing any of us can do to prevent what is surely going to occur. What is really interesting is that what is occurring in the Middle East and the apparent direction these hosilities are taking is clearly spelled out in the Bible in Revelations. Maybe there is a connection with the Mayan calendar...a lot of damage can be done by these lunatics over the next month. Maybe we'll all get a chance to meet Jesus afterall, and much sooner than we thought.
ur really dumb
That's a very enlightening and thoughtful comment. The truth hurts, I know, but try not to get angry about it.
No no, you sir actually are really really dumb, the other commentator is absolutely correct.
Women are too emotional, they'll probably end up falling in love with the enemies leader.. It's happened before.
Boot the Arabs and bomb the Iranians. BB knows what to do, Obama should just follow.
And Israel the bully too.
The problem of obtaining real peace is always blocked by Hamas. Maybe its time to duke it out and for Israel, Palestine and Egypt to take casualties. The Palestinian people will never be free until they are free from Hamas and want to be free of Hamas, it must be complete and a totally objective mission.
What an excuse Sir Obama !!!
Someone please tell U.S. President Barack Obama that U.S. is way powerful than Iran and their defense system.
Everyone knows that except "Barack Obama" & "Benjamin Netanyahu".
Iran has the fifth largest military in the world. Its not a walk in the park.
Largest does not imply strongest, Iran has the 12th strongest in the world behind Israel which has the 10th strongest and the U.S.A having the strongest military in the world. Iran is all bout talk but just like Sadam Hussein will not have the strength and expertise to deal with an invasion and will fall in less than a week, Israel by itself can defeat Iran, you will see it soon. Remember that about 40 years ago Israel attacked Egypt and Syria at the same time and completely defeated them in less than a week
Obama knows what he is doing another war especially with Iran will ruin our economy and kill our soldiers for nothing.iran is not Afghanistan or Iraq it is larger than them and has a powerful military.the worst idea is war.
Obama knows nothing!!!. This is the peace treaty that currently is being worked out, I know this for a fact. Listen, the Sinai region in Egypt will be given to the Palestinians, they will be kicked out of Israel by force and Israel will be whole once more. Obama is stupid enough to believe this will work. Eventually, the attacks will resume but from Hama in the Sinai region, Israel will attack once more and Egypt will be caught in the crossfires. Egypt has 80 million in population and will be backed by other Arab nations and it will become WWIII. The innocent here are the Egypt people who will lose part of there country because they have a coward for a President (appointed by Obama, not truly elected by the people). People read and stop listening to the censored American media.
Pacifism did not help anyone in the past... and will neve help in the future too.
Israel will be in tribulation for 7.5 years with the newly elected US president. That is what the scripture says. I read it online from somewhere.
How can anyone believe that Isrial is the agressor? They have always been fighting for their survival. They perfected their military might including nuclear arms to protect themselves. Those that are old enough to remember the 1967 war, will remember that Isrial was attacked by the surrounding coumtries. It was never the other way around. Is anyone stupid enough to suggest that they have ambitions going byond their own borders unless to defend themselves? If there is – please step forward. We all want to hear your argument.

Wellington Andirons
I found a pair of andirons with the foundry mark Wellington Pat 1888 stamped on the back. The lace of the lion is round and the bottom of andirons are a crescent shape. The andirons resemble hubley andirons. I was unable to findl out anything about a wellinton foundry. Only information was that Foster's of Lincoln used the Wellington foundry mark in the late 1800's in england. There appears to be a book at Princeton and Harvard the discusses the fosters foundry. Please let me know any info you have.
