...immune-system component that serves as the body's supersonar for detecting any foreign and potentially harmful proteins. To signal the need to annihilate these invaders, IgE attaches like antennae to the surface of cells that release histamines and other inflammatory agents. In mild cases, the result is a rash and hives. In others, blood pressure drops and fluid builds up in tissues, leading to swelling. Airways can constrict, triggering coughing and eventually respiratory distress and even death. Once a massive IgE cascade is activated, only a shot of the hormone epinephrine, a.k.a. adrenaline, can stop a hypersensitive immune system...

While the installation process was not particularly transparent, with most of it taking place without the involvement of the Cambridge City Council, disallowing these cameras is unnecessary, rash, and wasteful.

But to prevent the foreclosure of a sizable chunk of an entire subdivision, one solution for Coconut Cay lenders might be to lower loan principals down to the houses' current, and more reasonable, market values (especially since...
...destroyed in the counties surrounding Los Angeles, and thousands of residents were forced to evacuate. This year the drought-plagued region has faced an almost relentless fire season, with 9,603 fires so far, up from 5,961 in 2007. Just over a year ago, the state endured a rash of immense wildfires that destroyed 2,000 homes and displaced 640,000 people...
