Cause When people are diagnosed with piriformis syndrome, it is thought that the piriformis tendon may be tethering the sciatic nerve, causing irritation to the nerve. While it has not been proven, the theory supported by many physicians is that when the piriformis muscle and its tendon are too tight, the sciatic nerve is pinched. This may decrease blood flow to the nerve and irritate the nerve as a result of pressure....

But as we enter the final week of the season and owners in all formats are scrambling to stream pitchers, there's a familiar name with two decent matchups: Halladay: @MIA, @ATL. The Braves are good, but they might be throwing out a watered-down lineup on the second-to-last day of the season. Either way, Halladay's first start against Miami is enough to cause some weekly-league owners to take the risk. Should they?...

The incident involving Shenzhen Airlines Flight 9247—an Airbus A319-100—occurred at Panzhihua Bao’anying Airport in Sichuan province, southwest China, on Friday.

The musical peace offering is only part of Farrakhan’s bid for a broader audience. Later this year he’ll publish a new book, “A Torchlight for America,” recasting the spiritual teachings of his late mentor Elijah Muhammad as remedies for drug addiction and crime in black and white communities.

By and large, their scouting report hasn’t changed. Should Clinton win the Democratic nomination, he’ll encounter other elements of Bush’s fall strategy. “Jobs, family and peace,” themes framed by campaign chairman Robert Teeter, will color campaign speeches. Congress-bashing will intensify. Bush will set the tone with a speech or prime-time press conference after lawmakers flout his March 20 deadline for passage of his economic-recovery package. A careful regimen of “presidential” activity-foreign trips, a possible new round of arms talks, some repackaged domestic proposals-will reinforce Bush’s aura of incumbency and reassure moderates put off by his ragged primary campaign against Patrick Buchanan....
