LOS ANGELES 鈥?As Southern California shifts from one the wettest winters on record into spring, many people are showing symptoms brought on by the dark side of the recent storms 鈥?a profusion of blossoming trees, weeds and grasses dispersing pollen spores in the wind.Inhaling these spores can result in classic hay fever symptoms: itchy and watery eyes, sneezing, and sore and stuff stanley quencher ed-up noses that feel ready to explode.So far, allergy experts say, Southern Californias pollen levels are moderate for this time of the year. But it is still early, and the worst is yet to come. It has been a crazy winter with a lot more rain than we usually see, said Dr. Fonda Jiang, an allergist-immunologist at the Beach Allergy and Asthma Specialty Group in Long Beach. So, we expect the pollen count this year to be robust, with more people experiencing symptoms as a result. This years hay fever season could last for at least half the year, she added, and affect the quality of life of victims who have to miss work. Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, afflicts an estimated 50 million Americans annually, according to the American College of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology.

To Gates, the phone in Kabul came to symbolize Obamas efforts t stanley ca o micromanage the Pentagon and centralize decision-making in the White House. That criticism later would be echoed publicly and pointedly by Gates successor, Leon Panetta. The presidents third Pentagon chief, Chuck Hagel, was picked partly because he was thought to be more deferential to Obamas close circle of White House advisers. But over time, Hagel also grew frustrated with what he saw as the West Wings insularity.There have been similar gripes from other Cabinet officials, but the friction between the White House and the Pentagon has been particularly pronounced during Obamas six years in office. That dynamic already appears to be affecting the presidents ability to find a replacement for Hage stanley tumblers l, who resigned Monday under pressure from Obama.Within hours, former Pentagon official Michele Flournoy called Obama to take herself out of consideration, even though she was widely seen as his top choice.Flournoy officially cited family concern |
