In the 9th Inning with the score tied at 5, Cubs right fielder Justin Ruggiano (wearing blue wristband) attempted to to make a running catch . He tried to slide near the visitors' bullpen and he went down with a pulled hamstring. The hit allowed the Diamondbacks to rally for a 7-5 win on the 100th anniversary of Wrigley Field. Here he is being helped off the field.
I always try to throw this posture in during my practice, again, due to the tight hamstrings. More on this pose : www.yogajournal.com/poses/476
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.

Alexander Scott Gonzalez (b: April 8, 1973) is a former MLB infielder, who spent the majority of his career with the Toronto Blue Jays. Gonzalez established a career-high with 20 home runs for the Chicago Cubs in 2003 and hit 20 or more doubles eight times. He was drafted straight out of high school in the 14th round of the 1991 Major League Baseball Draft by the Blue Jays.
After making the major league team to begin 1994, Gonzalez batted only .151 in 15 games and was sent down to Triple-A Syracuse at the end of April because of a hamstring injury. Gonzalez was the Blue Jays starting shortstop from 1995 to 2001 with the exception of 1999 when Toronto traded for Tony Batista. Throughout his career, Gonzalez averaged around .250 with decent power for a middle infielder, but was unable to hit for high average. He made up for the lack of average with good RBI production and solid defense. He led the American league twice in fielding percentage for shortstops. After spending eight years with the Toronto Blue Jays, he was traded to the Chicago Cubs on December 21, 2001, for Felix Heredia and minor leaguer James Deschaine.
Gonzalez has worked as an analyst for NBC Sports and MLB Network covering season news and the World Baseball Classic.

This was at our flag football championship game (which we won).
I didn't take it, I gave our camera to a friend of mine and put it on the sports setting for him.
This took a while to edit. It's basically just a gradient (transparent-solid-transparent) tilt shift, but I had to add the mask to the three people, which was not an easy task to say the least. Afterwards, some of the edges looked so rough that I had to paint in edges around the people pixel by pixel.
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

"Can't Win" is a song about being programmed from childhood to fail. You probably can't decipher what he's singing through his Scottish accent, so the lyrics for this verse are:
Oh what kind of mother would hamstring her sons?
Throw sand in their eyes and put ice on their tongues
Ah better to leave than stay here and grieve
And play the game
Don't waken the dead as you sleepwalk around
If you have a dream, brother, hush, not a sound
Just stand there and rust, die if you must
But play the game
Oh, if we can't have it, why should a wretch like you?
Oh, it was drilled in our heads, now we drill it into your head too.
They said "You can't win. You can't win.
You sweat blood. You give in.
You can't win. You can't win.
Turn the cheek. Take it on the chin.
You'd have to hear the whole thing for it to make full sense, of course. The lyrics in full are:
I started to cry, they put gin in my cup
I started to crawl, and they swaddled me up
I got up and run, they said "Easy, son,
Play up, play the game"
They told me to think and forget what I'd heard
They told me to lie and they questioned my word
They told me to fail, better sink than sail,
Just play the game
Oh, towers will tumble and locusts will visit the land
Oh, a curse on your house and your children and the fruit of your hand
They said "You can't win. You can't win.
You sweat blood. You give in.
You can't win. You can't win.
Turn the cheek. Take it on the chin.
Don't you dare do this. Don't you dare do that"
We shoot down dreams, we stiletto in the back
Oh the nerve of some people, the nerve of some people,
The nerve of some
I don't know who you think you are, who you think you are
Oh what kind of mother would hamstring her sons?
Throw sand in their eyes and put ice on their tongues
Ah better to leave than stay here and grieve
And play the game
Don't waken the dead as you sleepwalk around
If you have a dream, brother, hush, not a sound
Just stand there and rust, die if you must
But play the game
Oh, if we can't have it, why should a wretch like you?
Oh, it was drilled in our heads, now we drill it into your head too.
They said "You can't win. You can't win.
You sweat blood. You give in.
You can't win. You can't win.
Turn the cheek. Take it on the chin.
Don't you dare do this. Don't you dare do that"
We shoot down dreams, we stiletto in the back
Oh, the nerve of some people, the nerve of some people,
The nerve of some people
I don't know who you think you are
The nerve of some people, the nerve of some people
The nerve of some people, the nerve of some people
The nerve of some people, the nerve of some people
The nerve of some people, the nerve of some people
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 Zakouma the poaching has been almost entirely stopped and the elephants are breeding again the population now stands at around 470.

Put the halloween tree up! Didn't take any dslr pictures because I was not feeling great after a strained hamstring incident earlier this week and crawling around on the floor putting this up.

I was fortunate enough to meet TIME Photographer Shelly Katz (www.shellykatz.com). He called me a few weeks ago late one night asking me to photograph his son as he ran the A1A marathon in Fort Lauderdale. As a thank you, Shelly gave me a historic photograph of Abraham Lincoln, something I will definitely treasure for many years to come!!
If you're in the area check out his exhibit: A Step Back in Time (http://www.workshop.org/museum.html)
Photo taken by: Jessica Savidge (www.savidgephotography.com)
Special Thanks to Harrison Funk and Denise Felice for giving Shelly my contact information!!!
And congratulations to Andrew Katz, Shelly's son, for coming in 12th place in the A1A Marathon -- even with a cramped hamstring!!!
The outfielder pinch-ran for Moncada, who left the game after going to 3rd on Sanchez's single with a tight hamstring and the lingering effects of fouling a ball off of his foot in the 1st inning. The Sox cut the Cardinals' lead to 3-2 in the 8th inning.
Begin lying on front with legs together and arms in streamline. Lift arms, head and chest off the ground (just high enough so breast bone leaves the ground). At the same time, lift legs up off the ground.
Key points:
-Always keep legs together and knees locked.
-Engage glutes and hamstrings to lift legs.
-Engage core and lower back to lift arms and chest.
-Once the exercise begins, legs and arms remain off the ground.

My concept football and conceptual ideas are power, time and scar. In my first image I'm showing how football scars the body and can leave permanent damage. The image is a picture of biceps and one is torn while the other is healthy. The process I took to take this image was very simple. And this image took little to no editing. My second photo is a picture one of my teammates on crutches. He recently hurt his self on one on ones from over use of his hamstrings. And this picture is very focused and simple. It focuses on the fact that football can scar the body. But also how powerful football is and how it can wear down your body. My third photo is a picture of a time scar to show how football doesn't only affect you physically but mentally. This photo I took a picture of my brother after returning late from a college camp. And later learning he had been concussed. The process to take this photo was very hard. I used an iPod flashlight held it myself while also balancing the camera to get an image. After a lot of trial and error I managed to get a few photos. The light from the flashlight hurt his head giving him an even bigger headache, while complaining about his head I was able to take a photo to even though it's really grainy. My fourth picture shows power. And how football can give you power over time. This photo was taken after school after maxes since we did not have football practice after school this week. And my final picture was taken after practice and shows time. And how time can not be controlled. Also how football takes up a lot of your day and players usually have little to no time after all the practices throughout the day. The process to take this picture was really simple. During a one on one drill after school with coach Gilbert. I was able to take a picture of how time and the things around you go by fast and how football players kinda just watch it go by. My goal of my images was to illustrate how over time football can scar the body and how it's a powerful sport. And how time flies when you're a football player.
