Symptoms, which are called radiculopathy, generally result from contact between the free fragment and spinal nerve root, whether this takes place where the sequestration (breaking off from the main disc) first occurs, or at the level to which the fragment subsequently migrates. A herniated disc is caused by a fray or break of the outer fibers of a spinal disc that normally contain the soft liquid shock-absorbing substance inside the disc....

Often, participation in counseling, group therapy, or community service is required to receive the benefits of the programs, which are more widely available in areas with large gang memberships. Here are a few:

Having breezed past Yannick Hanfmann in Round 1, the two-time defending champion and No. 2 seed (behind Novak Djokovic) looked sharp in a 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 victory that went beyond two hours. After hitting his stride with some blistering shots in the early stages, Nadal did not let up in the first set, and though Maden, a qualifier, seemed to have rallied after failing to hold at the start of the second, the Spaniard brilliantly converted another break point in the fifth game....

From veterans looking sharp to prodigies looking shaking, the action at Roland-Garros remains unmissable. The Sporting News wraps up the best of the action from Day 4. Nadal and Djokovic showing ominous signs Despite coming into the French Open under an injury cloud, Rafael Nadal has hit the ground running at Roland-Garros. Nadal claimed a consecutive straight sets win on Wednesday as he cruised past Frenchman Corentin Moutet 6-3 6-1 6-4....

These two friends, who go by the names Gabriella Reynolds and Hannah Grace on social media, are both from the same town in Connecticut, have known each other since elementary school and look almost identical to one another. They may sound like twins, but they’re not. Reynolds shared their story to TikTok in a now viral video, to the sound of the “what a lie,” lyrics from the Julia Michaels song “What a Time,” writing: “Us after successfully tricking everyone we meet into thinking we’re sisters....

As one would expect, winters in Minnesota are very cold, and the playoff game will be played in near arctic conditions. MORE: Wild-card scores | Memorable crazy weather games | The Ice Bowl, remembered But not everybody is bundled up. PHOTOS: Coldest games in NFL history Bud Grant, who coached the Vikings from 1967 until 1983, served as the special cpatain for the game, and the near-arctic temperatures did not faze the 88-year-old legend....

Newsweek has already prepared a separate guide breaking down how you can access this livestream and explaining the full schedule for the rest of the week. While that piece lists a handful of releases that are confirmed to be making an appearance Wednesday, here are some extra predictions on what you can expect from the 2021 Gamescom convention. ‘Call of Duty: Vanguard’ First Look Gamescom’s host, Geoff Keighley, has confirmed on Twitter that the latest Call of Duty will be one of the headline attractions at this year’s conference....

As one of Adult Swim’s longest-running shows, The Venture Bros. is one of a number of series canceled by the network in recent years. Today, the creators of The Venture Bros. have shared their disappointment at the news with Christopher McCulloch aka Jackson Publick deeming the cancellation “highly disappointing.” Many fans were also left scratching their heads since Adult Swim themselves have tweeted about wanting to continue making episodes—which indicates that the decision has come from higher up in the Warner Bros....

“I think any number of people in my office could have gotten a conviction,” says Linda Fairstein, who until recently ran the sex-crimes unit in the Manhattan district attorney’s office. “A conviction for a crime he didn’t commit.” That’s right; the right guy was the wrong guy. A comparison of his DNA with that taken from semen the rapist left behind showed that he hadn’t done the crime. But the DNA did link that rape to another, and then to the unsolved rape-murders of three teenage girls in East Harlem....

Now Beit Jala is a front line in a low-intensity conflict edging toward guerrilla war. The predominantly Christian town once known for its olive oil and a popular grilled-chicken restaurant now is famous for the tracer rounds that light up the darkness in nightly news footage. For weeks Palestinian snipers have used Beit Jala as a base to shoot at the nearby Jewish neighborhood of Gilo, and the Israeli Army has responded with rocket, missile and machine-gun fire....

And what about those apocalypse-by-meteorite blockbusters in the late ’90s? The Earth recently dodged a giant bullet when an asteroid the size of a football pitch came within 120,000 kilometers of our blue-green sphere. (Cosmically speaking, that’s way too close for comfort.) A collision would have created the effect of a nuclear explosion–just as in movies like “Deep Impact.” But unlike in those films, NASA never even noticed the looming patch of armageddon until it had sailed past us....

It’s a long way from “juvey” to the Navy brig in Charleston, S.C., where Padilla, now 31, is being held as an enemy combatant for his alleged role in a Qaeda dirty-bomb plot. Investigators are still trying to figure out why the Brooklyn-born Puerto Rican Roman Catholic wound up converting to radical Islam and joining ranks with Osama bin La-den in Afghanistan. Maybe Padilla was just a lonely loser who took a bizarre turn....

“You, too,” he wrote, “will soon realize the genuine satisfaction which comes from devoting inordinate amounts of time to a school system that your friends and neighbors believe is inexcusably horrendous-a state for which they will soon come to hold you personally responsible.” More ominously he added: “The worst part is bearing the responsibility for what is done, while having little or no authority to determine what should be.”...

Because the internet is a deeply ironic place, “FTFY” is most often used sarcastically. If someone disagrees with a point you made, they’ll likely reply “FTFY” accompanied by a changed definition that undermines you and suits their point of view better. [2] X Research source Someone may also use “FTFY” as a comment in a more editorial context. If you’ve asked someone to correct your grammar on a document or an IT professional to fix a computer bug, they may notify you they’ve righted the issues with a simple “FTFY” note....

A. Somewhere in sports nutrition history, the misconception was born that pre-exercise food sits in the stomach and hinders athletic performance. To this day, numerous casual exercisers and competitive athletes alike go to great efforts to avoid food for at least three or four hours before exercise. By doing so, they miss out on the performance benefits associated with being well fueled. This research study published in 1999 confirms the benefits of pre-exercise fueling....

The legislation won bipartisan support but 31 Republican senators voted against the measure, with Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) saying he supported helping Ukraine but arguing the process was rushed. Other Republicans voiced similar concerns. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has now been going on for more than two weeks with Ukrainian forces offering strong resistance. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly called for more international assistance. About half of the $13....

Completed this month, the report is considered critical to understanding Trump’s state of mind regarding his request to state elections chief Brad Raffensperger to “find” the votes Trump needed to win the battleground state. Members of the press—and the special grand jury itself—have lobbied for its release, with the former describing the report’s contents as “matter of profound public interest that goes to the heart of the nation’s democratic forms of government” in a 109-page brief prior to Tuesday’s hearing in Atlanta....

Inside the bag is a set of notebooks. One, running about 30 pages, offers a menu of nuclear attacks on the Soviet Union. In a time of crisis, the president would thumb through the book and pick his attack, using a code on a laminated card he keeps in his wallet to identify himself to the Pentagon. How it would work in practice is another matter. Last June, after a tennis match in Los Angeles, the president jumped into his limousine and ordered the driver to hit the road, leaving the Navy commander and the black bag behind....
