Moises Alou doesn't have a MLB team for this season. He tore a hamstring last season so it will be interesting to see how he performs in the World Baseball Classic.

Seeing this cow lying flat out on the sand while her calf drank from one of the Salamat's few remaining pools was a truly wonderful sight. Under constant attack from poachers Zakouma's elephants had stopped breeding entirely for a few years. Just in the last few years they have started to relax enough to start breeding again this beautiful scene perfectly illustrates how safe they now feel. After they had first been spotted from the air we were able to pinpoint their location and then walk a short distance along the river until we found them. With the wind in our favour we watched them from a safe distance without them ever being aware of our presence and after a few minutes quietly walked away leaving them none the wiser.
For roughly 6 months of the year between June and November Zakouma National Park is almost entirely inundated with floodwaters at this time elephants would often disperse into the surrounding area of what is now the Salamat Faunal Reserve. During this time Arab horsemen from the Darfur region of neighbouring Sudan would come to hunt the elephants as they had done for perhaps several hundred years. Traditionally a group of up to 20 horsemen armed with lances would charge a herd aiming to separate out one of the elephants. A single horseman would then ride in front of this elephant to draw its attention and get it to pursue him allowing the other men to ride in and spear it from behind with their lances. They would aim for the elephant’s hamstrings in its hind legs which if severed would bring the animal down and ensure it could not get up again. Huge numbers of elephants were killed this way and in response the surviving herds in the region have learned that at the first sign of horsemen their best defence is bunch up into tight groups to ensure that no individual can be separated out.
Today this is no defence the horsemen are Janjaweed militiamen and members of the Sudanese armed forces and they come not with the lances used by their ancestors but with AK47s, belt-fed machine guns and rocket propelled grenades. This habit of bunching up into a single large herd has meant that the poachers can easily kill 50-60 elephants in a single attack by simply machine gunning the terrified animals as they try to escape. In 2005 an aerial count found 3,885 elephants in Zakouma and the surrounding area in under a decade the population was reduced to just 430 and had stopped breeding due to the constant stress. Since African Parks took over the management of Zakouma the poaching has been almost entirely stopped and the elephants are breeding again the population now stands at around 470.
As you can clearly see in this photo mum has no tusks this is a common sight among elephants populations that have been subject to severe poaching.
U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program SSG John Nunn competes in the men's 20-kilometer race walk at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Track & Field Team Trials on June 30 at historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. Nunn, who had already qualified for Team USA in the 50K race walk for the London Olympic Games, used the event as a training walk and stopped around the 10k mark with a nagging hamstring. New York Athletic Club's Trever Barron, a 19-year-old from Colorado Springs, Colo., won the 20-kilometer walk with an American record time of 1 hour, 23 minutes and .10 seconds. He and Nunn will be the only two men race walking for Team USA in London. U.S. Army photo by Tim Hipps, IMCOM Public Affairs
It is very important to set up your workstation by taking into consideration the Ergonomic features of your chair because it is the one that directly affects health of your body. Lots of chair manufacturers claim that their chairs are the best in the market, but are they really that good?

Here is why you should consider purchasing of a SpinaliS chair:
Back injuries result from damage, wear, or trauma to the bones, muscles, or other tissues of the back. Common back injuries include sprains and strains, herniated disks, and fractured vertebrae. The lumbar is often the site of back pain. The area is susceptible because of its flexibility and the amount of body weight it regularly bears. It is estimated that low-back pain may affect as much as 80 to 90 percent of the general population in Canada.
Low-back pain is often the result of incorrect lifting methods and posture. Repetitive lifting, bending, and twisting motions of the torso affect both the degree of severity and frequency of low-back pain. In addition, low-back pain may also be the result of bad lifting habits. Sedentary lifestyles most often lead to weak abdominal muscles and hamstrings. This causes the stronger muscles which have remained strong to pull the body away from its optimal anatomical form. The imbalanced muscles cause people to continue to perform these repetitive actions. This results in misplaced force application within the spine, often resulting in hemorrhage of disks within the spinal column.

The North Carolina Tar Heels, a power five program out of the Atlantic Coast Conference, dealt Old Dominion its first home defeat since November 2015. But in the loss, ODU gained a new starting quarterback.
True freshman Steven Williams, a graduate of Woodrow Wilson H.S. in Washington, D.C., replaced starting quarterback Jordan Hoy and backup QB Blake LaRussa in the 53-23 loss.
"When you don't have a first down in the first quarter and you have no energy on the sideline because the players feel it, you have to make the move," ODU head football coach Bobby Wilder explained. "I didn't go into this game thinking [Williams] would play."
Seeing his first action, the 17 year old Williams completed 9-of-20 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw an interception and lost a fumble. Williams added 34 rushing yards on seven attempts.
"We haven't developed an identity on offense," Wilder noted. "Stevie Williams today gave us an identity. Steven Williams is the quarterback of the Old Dominion football team moving forward."
"They just said 'let's go," Williams explained of how he learned he was about to receive his first college playing time. "My teammates were all behind me. I just had to go do my job and we'll be fine."
Old Dominion outscored North Carolina (1-2), 16-14, in the second half, after trailing the Tar Heels, 39-7, at the half.
Prior to the game, ODU learned All-Conference USA running back Ray Lawry, the program's all-time leading rusher, has a torn hamstring. Head coach Bobby Wilder reveals the injury could keep Lawry sidelined for the remainder of the season.

The most common way that most of us increase our running performance is to run more. This has been proved to not always be the best way forward (some of us find out the hard way!).

Today, I am celebrating "ME". I finished a month of Operation Bootcamp! I feel awesome, Im down 2 sizes and I have actually discovered sleep. Today I am HIGH on life - well higher than normal, and Im celebrating my joy, my accomplishments and yes my pain. I have an injured glute and hamstring thanks to some wonderful Sprints we had to do. I have done countless pushups, situps, dips and lunges. I have rolled around in the grass and mud and freezing rain, and I have run more miles than I ever thought possible. A huge shout out to Robert aka WANANGA - whom I roped into this whole ordeal, and who today, is celebrating with me. He too kicked some major bootcamp ass. :) HOOAH!!!!! Charles Allen Squadron will never be the same ;))

Saturday, 7th February 2015, mid-am, in some jungle somewhere near #Kajang. #SportXREvo road tyres coupled with 14 teeth front sprocket and 36 teeth rear is definitely NOT a good combo on me olde #Demak #DemakDTM150 #muto #motard #mutokechiktayarbeso #motorbike when riding on a logging trail in #Kajang
It was so peaceful sitting by the trail side after all the MTB dewds (who huffed and puffed while pulled a hamstring here and there on the trail) passed the checkpoint. I didnt get to enjoy The Peace for long tho as the stillness of the moment (ahem bersastera plak!) was shattered by the booming sound of a proper off road machine.
After exchanging salutations and the de riguer smoking of the peace pipes, the Dewd gives some pointers on trail riding ( Trail ni kachang puteh ajer bang! Cuaca panas dan trail tak basah takder hal punya ), #TedAdnanBilang to himself “ I definitely gonna get me a set of 21” front and 18" rear fitted with knobblies for off road purpose soon.
And mayhaps upgrade to a 250 or a 450cc soon?

Ten years after the 2008 economic recession, the government is ill-prepared to defend itself against the next economic downturn. Interest rates remain low, partisanship remains intractable, and the federal debt is rising at an unprecedented rate. These factors will hamstring traditional monetary and fiscal stimulus.
In his new book, “Law and Macroeconomics,” Yale Law Professor Yair Listokin argues that we can respond more quickly to the next economic crisis by deploying a policy approach whose proven success is too rarely acknowledged: regulation. He proposes that we take seriously the idea that law can function as a macroeconomic tool, capable of stimulating demand when needed and relieving demand when it threatens to overheat economies. And though history has demonstrated that law is an unwieldy instrument of macroeconomic policy, Listokin argues that under certain conditions it offers a vital alternative to the monetary and fiscal policy tools.
On Tuesday, September 10, at an Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center event, Listokin presented the key findings of his research, and panelists deepened the discussion by addressing the following questions:
What role does the law play in stimulating aggregate demand?
How can laws and regulations complement traditional fiscal and monetary policy approaches to stabilizing the business cycle?
Can regulations act as an effective alternative to fiscal and monetary policy during economic downturn?
Which regulations should lawmakers implement to combat economic shocks?

This pose is dedicated to my Flickr friend, Luly Shahabudin . She does a wonderful demonstration on her stream of this pose (http://www.flickr.com/photos/lulishahabudin/4317266409/in/set-72157623199319289/). I used to practice this one frequently, but until yesterday, it had been quite sometime. Love this for the hamstrings

A dramatic short film starring the new 2007 World Champion Surfer Mick Fanning. Mick finds himself in an explosive situation on a dangerous tropical island. The film begins with Mick in bed, sweating...
Mick's real life back story;
In 2004 Mick faced a pro surfer’s worst nightmare, after tearing his hamstring from its bone and not being able to surf. A potentially career ending accident. Since then Mick has fought back to progress as far as anyone could possibly imagine and realize most surfers’ dream of becoming World Champion.
From nightmare come true…to dream come true.
This short dramtic film starring Mick represents the spirit of a true champion: One who never runs from their fears, but hunts them down and conquers them.
Co Written and Co Directed by Ben Nott and Phil Boston from world-wide-mind.com productions.
Adjust your sound speakers for this explosive film and enjoy.
they also met up with me at about the 17 mile marker. none of us had mobile phones, so it was no small miracle that we were able to catch each other along the route. i knew the general marker that we were going to try and meet up, but the entire route was packed with spectators so it was really tough to pick them out even though they were waving signs and ringing cow bells.
i think you can hardly tell i got up at 5 am and have been running for 17 miles :-)
at this point, i'm still feeling pretty good. i maintained about a 4:20 actual running pace through the first 16 miles and was running slower than i could have run because of a nagging, knotty feeling i had in my right hamstring. it wasn't anything painful but it had been noticeable through my entire three weeks of tapering and was the kind of thing that might turn out to be nothing or might send me hobbling at the 20 mile mark. so i took it relatively easy.
you'll also note that it's still cold enough after 3 hours of running that i still have my thrift store running pants on. i think it might have been 43F which can usually be shorts weather but the breeze was mighty brisk.
