The last eight episodes of The Sopranos will be delayed two months until March due to unexpected knee surgery for Tony.

A personal report from blogger The Muqata in Israel - "All of the West Bank is alight tonight with fireworks from the Palestinian villages (along with scattered automatic gunfire), as our neighbors celebrate...the shelling of Haifa."

If you want to help Israel manage the crisis in a small way, you can donate to the American Friends of Magen David Adom (the Israeli Red Cross).  If you prefer to help a similar cause elsewhere, you can pick the peoples of your choosing here.

Life In Israel makes a good point - "The powers to be have declared that this is a major escalation, and basically that now we will show them....Why is attacking Haifa an escalation? Is attacking the border not enough? Is raining Katyushas on the whole northern Israel not enough....the reaction should be harsher to stop the rockets, but not because Hizb'Allah has escalated the conflict, but because that is the appropriate reaction to when your country has been attacked by a foreign government."

The Plames have filed a lawsuit against Cheney, Rove et al. for exposing them and ruining their lives.  Good luck.
