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.
It’s 6am in New York City. My eyes are crusted; begging to be shut. I face a war on two fronts. From above, my blanket attacks me with its warmth. It compels me to stay with an almost motherly disposition; the world outside is cold, unforgiving and unknown. From below, my pillow strikes hard with comfort and the softest touch. It utilizes the same effective tactics the enemy from above has. It’s a perpetual war that I seem to have always won, barring the few rare exceptions. Like all New Yorkers, I’m on a mission. Like all New Yorkers, I’m loud and belligerent at anyone that gets in my way. This is best taken literally, I get very upset when people walk too slowly and restrict my path. The aforementioned mission begins at the corner deli near my school. I walk in and great familiar faces in Arabic. “Keef Halak Habibi.” A conversation may ensue but usually I walk over and say verbatim every day, “Hey chief! Sausage egg and cheese with some ketchup.” “Coming right up boss!” I walk over to make some coffee. The ingredients never change: hella cream, two splendas, and hazelnut coffee. I’ll make exceptions when I’m told the coffee is different and I want to enjoy it black. The morning hours of school were rather routine; find the volume enclosed by a couple functions, e-field of a charged rod, just a lot of integrals. My friends all gathered in the same place to eat lunch and laugh. Honestly, the rest of the school day was mostly laughing and eating, at least for me. I was training to compete. I head to the gym for a grueling workout. For the sake of story, it was leg day. I pump out sixteen grueling sets of squats, another sixteen sets on the leg press, and a superset of leg extensions and hamstring curls. The day summed up was exhausting but rewarding, funny but serious, challenging but rewarding. The juxtaposition of so many different emotions in one day can take its toll. But, the lifestyle comes with its failsafe. The commute to the gym after school and the commute home is accompanied with music. I get to sit down and do nothing but relax, think and reflect in the hour I have to get home. All the hard work of the day can be appreciated. I get to breathe a sigh of relief and defuse any stress that may make tomorrow’s war harder. I throw my legs up on the lucky days the Q18 isn’t packed full and smile. I’m almost home.

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

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.
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.

Epidermal Insensitivity. Final data point, two years post-ACL reconstruction: 14.2 square centimeters of persisting numbness.
Depicted is an animation of the 22 data points I collected over the last two years illustrating the region of non-feelingness in the skin beside my left knee, consequence of the (standard) surgical incision, which severed infrapatellar nerve branches that sweep across the front of one's knee (see comments for photo). What am I talking about?
Well, if you ever tear your anterior cruciate ligament and opt to undergo reconstruction, you have several options to do so: cadavar graft, or autograft. In the case of the latter, they take a part of you and use it as your replacement ACL (commonly, patellar tendon or hamstring tendon). The golden standard is to use the central portion of one's patellar tendon with the bony attachments from the knee cap and shin. Extraction of this graft typically proceeds with a 6.5 cm longitudinal incision down the front of one's knee, which is known to sever nerves that confer feeling in the skin in the lateral portion of your leg. There are published alternatives to this type of incision that have been observed to minimize the nerve damage, as well as other awkward sensations, but it seems American surgeons are either unaware or unconcerned by this resulting post-surgical morbidity.
The consequence? Numb skin. I discovered this forty days post-surgery, and measured the area of non-feelingness. It has gone from 62.6 square cm (and something that looked like South America) to 14.2, so my nerves have grown back somewhat. I saw a continuous and dramatic decrease in numbness up through about five months post-op, at which point the area of skin numbness stabilized. Measurements taken between five months and now have oscillated anywhere between 11 and 20 square centimeters, likely owing to human error. The average area of numbness in published studies is 24 square centimeters. I am pleased to report that I fall below this mean, indicating that I am an extraordinary healer. This will be the endpoint of my study of skin numbness. I hope.

Begin lying on front with legs together and arms out in front at shoulder width. Palms should be facing each other. 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.

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?
