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?

Terry Stephen Puhl (b. July 8, 1956 in Melville, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian retired professional baseball outfielder. He played all or part of 15 seasons in MLB, mostly with the Houston Astros. He is the head coach of University of Houston–Victoria's baseball team and manager of the Canada national baseball team.
Puhl was called up to the majors in July 1977, and never returned to the minor leagues. He was quickly installed as the club's regular left fielder, replacing Jim Fuller. He finished the 1977 season with a .301 batting average in 60 games.
The following year he was the sole Astro selected as a National League All-Star. In the 1980 championship series against the Philadelphia Phillies, Puhl set a then NL-championship series record with a .526 batting average in a losing cause, the best performance ever by a hitter in a play-off series (It has since been superseded). As of 2010, Puhl has the ninth-best for lifetime fielding percentage by an outfielder (.993). In 1981, he was named Canadian Baseball player of the year.
A pulled hamstring in 1985 and an ankle injury in 1986 reduced his playing time, but he returned in 1987 as an effective pinch hitter. In 1988 he hit a career high .303.
After Puhl's retirement in 1991, he was inducted into the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame in 1994 and to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 1995. In November 2006, Puhl was inducted into the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame.
MLB statistics:
Batting average - .280
Home runs - 62
Runs batted in - 435

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.

I've been exercising a lot lately, trying to recover from a pretty bad straining of the hamstring.
So, here I present to you - my training ground! In and around the hills in the distance, you'll find a myriad of paths and tracks - ideal for walking, jogging or biking.

Branch Warren is unbelievable! He had surgery on a torn quad tendon a few months ago. I've had tennis elbow longer than that! He bounces back from injuries that end the careers of other competitors. How he does, that I'll never know...
Warren displayed a tremendous display of muscularity combined with an incredible degree of conditioning. Even the striated hamstrings were there tonight too. As I've stated before, Branch isn't the prettiest physique up on stage, but he's always the most rugged looking. He isn't carved out of marble but he's been blasted out of granite.
Extended Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose or in Sanskrit Utthita Hasta Padangustasana, a standing balancing pose that increases your mental focus, stretches the hamstrings, opens the groins and chest, lengthens and stretches various muscles and tendons that are tight from daily activities. This was during a recent hike on Webb Mountain in Monroe, CT. Practice this pose on both sides of the body. It can be practiced on the mat, using a strap as a more restorative posture while lying on the back. Hold the pose for 7-12 breaths on each side of the body. Enjoy the release.

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 Zakouma the poaching has been almost entirely stopped and the elephants are breeding again the population now stands at around 470.
After so many years of poaching most of Zakouma's elephants still generally stick together in a single big herd and often keep to the thick bush making them difficult to find.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people tell me I don't know back pain.
I've been living with near-chronic back pain for years. I've been to physiotherapy, and massage therapy. I've tried muscle relaxant pills. I've tried sleeping on the floor. I've tried stretching. It's all temporary relief, it ALWAYS comes back.
I can feel fine for days, or weeks even. And then something like putting away laundry will trigger it, and I will be in so much pain that I can't even stand, like tonight.
I have ridiculous knots all down both sides of my spine. Christ, you can even SEE them in this photo. Yes, those awkward lumps next to my spine are MUSCLE KNOTS.
Sometimes it gets so bad it hurts to breathe because my lungs push against them when I inhale.
Sometimes it hurts to BREATHE.
I broke my foot in 3 places, cracked open my skull 3 times, have had 5 concussions, destroyed a hamstring, broken a toe, fallen into things and gotten HUGE bruises, and I wrecked my knees a few years ago. Nothing has ever hurt as bad as this does.
