This issue can occur in any of the three spinal sections (cervical, thoracic, or lumbar), though it is most common in the lower lumbar spine. While discs normally help absorb the stresses placed on the spine, a herniation may make daily life difficult and painful. Fortunately, physical therapy may be able to combat the symptoms of this sometimes challenging diagnosis. This article will discuss how you may be assessed for herniated disc, initial and ongoing physical therapy, exercises, and prevention....

Walker admitted that the votes would not “add up” in his favor as he addressed supporters at campaign headquarters in Atlanta on Tuesday night, shortly after the race had been called by multiple networks. The Trump-endorsed former NFL star did not mention Warnock directly during the brief speech, while offering “no excuses” for his loss. “I want to thank all of you…because we’ve had a tough journey, have we not?...

Nintendo’s Game Boy is the first and least expensive of the lot, often selling for under $80, but it offers only a black and white screen. Atari’s Lynx costs twice as much, but offers color and better sound. NEC’s offering will cost more than $200, but will have faster action, better colors and a “backlit” screen–meaning you can play it in the dark. Unlike earlier versions of pocket games, which could play but a single game, all of the new handhelds use interchangeable cartridges that contain games on paper-thin chips....

Using a one-way mirror and video cameras, psychologists led by Susan Scanlon Jones had 10 baby boys and 10 baby girls play, one at a time, with crib toys, a toy sink, a toy dashboard and a mobile. Their mothers either sat passively nearby, watching, or buried their faces in magazines. The infants beamed many more smiles at the watchful mothers than at the inattentive ones, but not because they felt ignored by the latter: in both situations the babies played just as long and happily with the toys....

In those pre-9-11 days, Bush was eagerly courting the growing Muslim vote–and more than willing to listen to seemingly sincere activists like Al-Arian. When he debated Al Gore later in the year, Bush even made a point of bringing up the secret-evidence issue. Al-Arian was thrilled–and began registering local Muslims for the Republican Party and praising Bush at local mosques. “I think I personally played a big role in electing Bush,” he boasted at a Muslim American dinner last April....

Like hyperglycemia in diabetes, the symptoms are difficult to feel and easily go unnoticed, so the condition often goes untreated. The recommended blood glucose range is 80 to 130 mg/dL, but hyperglycemia is diagnosed when levels reach above 180 mg/dL two hours after eating, although symptoms may be felt with a blood glucose level between 160 mg/dL and 180 mg/dL. Nondiabetic hyperglycemia usually occurs after the body has undergone some type of trauma or stressful event....

In fact, they're a huge deal — over usage is starting to sap Major League Baseball of their best young pitchers. First it was Stephen Strasburg; then Matt Harvey; now Jose Fernandez. Some of the best live arms in MLB are falling apart before they reach their second contract, and many people are pointing at youth programs and high school teams for mismanaging young arms. In the past, the best athletes played multiple sports....

Instead, Clinton ducked the military challenge and decided to give peace another chance. After first panning the VanceOwen plan, Secretary of State Warren Christopher co-opted it. He named Reginald Bartholomew-the U.S. ambassador to NATO who proved a tough negotiator in Spain, Greece and Lebanon-as special envoy to the peace talks. The Bosnians would receive stepped-up humanitarian aid, but no guns. The Serbs could expect tightened sanctions and the threat of a war-crimes tribunal-but not bombs for now....

Chuck Hill, research director of First Call Corp., which compiles analysts’ recommendations, says that four of the 22 IBM analysts in his database downgraded IBM after its announcement. This is what rural types call locking the barn door after the horse has been stolen. How many analysts had downgraded IBM this year before Wednesday’s announcement?

During the late 1990s and the three-year bear market that ended in 2003, large, institutional portfolios–which were traditionally invested in stocks and bonds–suffered. They missed the huge gains in venture capital and private equity in the second half of the 1990s, bought into technology and In-ternet stocks just before they crashed, and were criticized for being unimaginative, stodgy and prone to debilitating committee-think. At the same time, two new tribes of heroes were rising in the investment world–hedge funds and college endowments....
