“There’s got to be more security than there is now, I don’t know what it will be,” White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf said, via The Associated Press. “Everybody realizes that the world has changed and these people are never going to give up, so we have to give up some of our comforts.” MORE: Eight cities that make sense for MLB expansion, ranked Stadiums across the globe were put on high alert following last year’s attacks on Paris, including Stade de France, where France was hosting Germany in a soccer friendly....

Following surgery, headache pain can be stressful, exhausting, and make your recovery more complex. If you experience a postoperative headache, there may be options to help you find relief. This article explains why headaches occur after surgery, their symptoms and treatment, and how to prevent headaches from occurring. Causes Headaches fall into two main categories: primary and secondary. A primary headache occurs as a disorder in and of itself and is unrelated to another condition....

Learn more about the connection between migraine headaches and diarrhea, plus how to treat and prevent symptoms and when to see a healthcare provider. The Link Between Headaches and Diarrhea For those who suffer from diarrhea during a migraine attack, the diarrhea often occurs during the prodrome (preheadache) phase of the migraine, before the pain fully sets in. The exact connection between migraine headaches and diarrhea is not known, although research has found that people who suffer from migraines are also more likely to have gastrointestinal (GI) disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), celiac disease, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)....

In fact, it’s sort of like the chicken versus egg dilemma — which comes first, the headache or the sleep problem? It can be tricky to distinguish. For one, various sleep disturbances like loss of sleep, oversleeping, or a change in your sleep schedule are triggers for acute migraines and tension-type headaches. On the flip side, headaches that occur at night like cluster headaches can impair sleep. Finally, snoring and underlying sleep disorders can contribute to the transformation from episodic to chronic headaches....

While Lansaw is typical of the people who save the most with online pharmacies like Drugstore.com, even those with a prescription plan can save money by avoiding their corner store. Major insurers have discount agreements with online or mail-order pharmacies to send you three months’ worth of medication for the equivalent of two monthly co-pays. (Ask your insurer whom it contracts with.) But for the more than 70 million Americans who don’t have prescription benefits, searching for better deals online can lead to big savings each month....

Whether it’s to maintain a competitive advantage on the job or party till the crack of dawn, we’re squeezing every moment of wakefulness out of our lives at the expense of sleep. That’s a bad idea. The simple truth is that sleep is an important biological function that does more than provide us with an opportunity to dream about future riches. While experts still aren’t exactly sure what sleep does, it’s widely believed to be instrumental in recharging our batteries and giving our many bodily systems a chance to rest for optimal performance during periods of wakefulness....

Modularity is used to standardize design; modular products have no unpredictable elements in their individual parts and fit together in a consistent, uniform way. Compared with products that utilize interdependent design — products with unique components that are optimized for function and reliability — modular design is often optimized for price, speed and rapid adoption. Perhaps the most well-known example of modular thinking can be seen in Swedish furniture giant IKEA....

Albany County District Attorney David Soares filed the request, putting the rest of the case in jeopardy. Soares had sent a letter to Judge Holly Trexler regarding the complaint and requested that the hearing be rescheduled. Cuomo was initially scheduled to be arraigned in court on November 17, but it has been adjourned until January 7. “We were in the middle of that investigation when the Sheriff unilaterally and inexplicably filed a compliant in this court,” said Soares in the letter to Trexler....

The Cincinnati researchers suspected that the hormone norepinephrine played a role in CHF, so they tested volunteers for variations in two genes that affect the heart’s use of the hormone. People with an altered “alpha receptor” gene had a fivefold increase in risk. The second gene had no effect by itself, but it caused a tenfold increase if it occurred in tandem with the first. The alterations are easy to detect, says Dr....

Line: Heat -2 Total: 201 Miami (37-27 SU, 34-29-1 ATS) had its five-game winning streak snapped on Wednesday, a 114-108 loss at Milwaukee as 3-point favorites. Both teams shot a warm 52.5 percent from the field. The Heat’s recent schedule has been very easy overall with games against the Knicks, Suns and 76ers (twice). Coach Erik Spoelstra is using a small starting lineup with Chris Bosh (blood clot) still sidelined....

Bosh returned to South Florida to undergo further testing Monday, where concerns emerged over a potentially more dire condition that could sideline Bosh significantly longer than originally anticipated. A blood clot, which cost Bosh 30 games last season, has not been ruled out, according to multiple reports. MORE: Chris Bosh and why positions matter | Bosh’s Q&A with SN “(It’s) too soon for all of that. … Too soon to report that," Bosh’s agent, Henry Thomas, told the Miami Herald via text Monday night, referring to a blood clot....

The Heat beat the Pacers 101-93 for their third straight victory since coming out of the All-Star break. MORE: NBA League Pass Alert: Games to watch this week With Bosh still out with a calf injury and Dwyane Wade playing for the first time since the break, Miami leaned heavily on its young building blocks in Goran Dragic and Hassan Whiteside.

“People in my life were surprised to hear this reality,” Villegas told Verywell. She’s always prioritized her wellness and encourages others to drink water, eat enough food, and rest, she said. “This day was no different," she added. “I took all the precautions I could.” But her legs began to feel “like heavy, numb tree trunks,” and her eyes didn’t know where to focus. She blacked out, had a severe heat stroke, and has been recovering from the brain swelling injury ever since....

The five-year-old company has won millions of these battles. Even for the get-rich-quick economy of the late 1990s, Metabolife International Inc. has gotten very rich, very quickly. Started by an ex-cop with no formal medical training, the company has tapped a voracious appetite for easy weight-loss fixes. As our collective waistband expands, Americans pop 225,000 capsules of Metabolife every hour. Retail revenues this year, according to company founder and CEO Michael Ellis, are expected to reach $900 million....

This is a tricky time to be young in Hong Kong. The challenges facing the colony after July 1- questions of identity, autonomy and community-are all playing out right here, right now for its young people. In a city that has produced great wealth but little culture, the young are left to cobble lives cud identities out of what their overworked parents have left to them: the malls and arcades, “The X-Files” and NBA broadcasts....

Within hours, women flooded NARAL’s Web site with angry messages. “What a grave grave GRAVE mistake on NARAL’s behalf,” wrote one, identifying herself as “Kayla.” “I’m extremely upset and ashamed. You just lost all my support, membership, and donations.” Will Kayla and Hillary supporters like her vote for Obama in November? The question is very much on the minds of the candidate and his aides. As they narrow in on the nomination, Obama is working to bridge the divide between him and millions of mostly white, working-class women who backed Hillary—and who say they’re still skeptical of Obama, or even angry at him, for spoiling her bid....

BY ZULHILMI ZAINAL Follow on Twitter Selangor forward Joseph Kalang Tie has had a rather slow start to his stint at the club he joined in the pre-season. After he was sidelined from the matchday squad in the Red Giants’ first couple of matches, he finally convinced the team’s coaching staff, and was given a place in the starting eleven in their previous three competitive matches.

It sounds simple. With proper attention to blood sugar and diet, a person with diabetes can go a long way toward staying healthy. But it’s not simple. Many people with diabetes risk illness and even death by leaving their disease untreated.
