Welcome to the Anatomy of a Goal, where each week we dissect one goal (or near goal) from Columbus Crew SCs previous match. For match 14 of the 2017 MLS Season, we take a look at Toronto FC midfielder Justin Morrows 39th minute goal that put Toronto up 2-0 as part of the 5-0 win over Crew SC on Friday. Heres a look at the finish from the Toronto FC midfielder. It was hard to pick just one of Torontos five goals to break down, but Morrows goal is indicative of Torontos successful strategy in this match. When Columbus pushed up the field, Toronto looked to counter quickly, often playing a long pass into the Crew SC defense, looking to build off of a turnover or a win of possession by TFC. During the first half, Crew SC lined up in what the official lineup called a 4-4-2, with Wil Trapp and Federico Higuain playing together in the midfield. This 4-4-2 sacrificed a defensive midfielder for an attacker, and left Trapp with much more ground to cover. As the lone defensive midfielder, Trapp was often the only player in the middle of the field, leaving acres of space for Toronto … Continue reading →

By Tony Rice As summer unofficially begins this weekend (summer officially begins here in the northern hemisphere at the solstice, June 21) weve already begun seeing the staple of summer weather in our area: isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. As those storms pass, we are often treated to rainbows. That is just what happened Thursday evening when a series of small storms passed through the area. Occasional sprinkles didn't impede preparations for Apex High School's year-ending pops concert at Koka Booth Amphitheater in Cary. Showtime was a different story. The combined choirs were barely into the opening song when a small but heavy storm put the show on pause. Fifteen minutes later, the crowd was rewarded with one of the most brilliant rainbows Ive seen. You probably know that rainbows are produced by sunlight passing through a raindrop. The light is bent or refracted because the denser water causes the light to travel more slowly. That light, now separated into its component wavelengths (colors), is reflected off the back of the raindrop and back out producing a colorful arc across the sky. Rainbows are actually circles, centered on a point directly opposite the sun. We see just the … Continue reading →

By Douglas Anele Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, the dominant political parties that emerged in Nigeria before independence and played prominent roles in defining the direction of her future political evolution were largely regional parties. For instance, in northern Nigeria, the political landscape was dominated by the Northern Peoples Congress (NPC), whose catchphrase One North, One People, accurately encapsulates its core agenda. It was unabashedly a political organisation specifically set up to cater for the concerns of northern region alone, particularly the interests of the domineering feudalist conservative elite, to the extent that it refused to present candidates for elections in the south. Interestingly, NPC leaders were surprised that its gesture of separateness was not reciprocated by political parties in the south. Consequently, they strongly resisted efforts by parties in southern Nigeria to field candidates in the north, which Balewa saw as appropriate to response to the invasion of northern region by southerners, and considered southern politicians campaigning in northern Nigeria an unwelcome challenge to norths territorial sovereignty. Action Group (AG) was the major party in western Nigeria, whereas the first truly national political party was the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), although it eventually mutated into a … Continue reading →

A common mistake many traders make is thinking that they must be in constant motion, buying and selling every move in the market. We see people on the floor of exchanges yelling out their orders, or hyperactive traders flipping for pennies, and it gives us the impression that we should be in perpetual motion in order to gain an edge. There are times when traders need to move rapidly and make buy and sell decisions quickly, but effective trading also requires that there be periods of time when we sit patiently and do little. One of the hallmarks of good traders is that they can quickly make big and aggressive trades and then shift back to watchfully waiting as opportunities develop again. Most of the time, the best traders are doing very little actual trading. When they do act, they are decisive and aggressive and then they go back to sitting patiently while they do research and look for the next candidate for a trade. Some of the worst trades that we make are those that occur when we are bored and itching for action. Personally, I find that I have an inclination to hope for market pullbacks to shake … Continue reading →

Grey's Anatomy Season 14 Is Shaping Up to Be Pretty Dramatic Even though we only just witnessed the season 13 finale of Grey's Anatomy, it's never too soon to look ahead. In the wake of everything that has happened, it's clear there are plenty of planted seeds that will surely bloom once the show returns in the Fall. Granted, Stephanie will no longer be with us, but with a few new faces, a couple of new flames, and that trademark drama we've always loved, there's plenty to look forward to. There isn't much available information about the 14th season of Grey's, but we do have potential things figured out. Owen's sister is alive! At the very end of the finale, Owen reconnects with his long-lost sibling, Megan. This could cause all kind of upheaval. It will certainly change Owen's entire life. Then there's Riggs, who was in love with Megan before she vanished. The timing is terrible: Meredith has just opened herself up romantically to Riggs, and now she risks losing him. Will Megan and Riggs be able to pick up where they left off? There's also a chance Megan will join the ranks at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. Once … Continue reading →

On May 10th the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation issued a statement by its late founders fellow former Robben Islander, 86-year old Laloo Isu Chiba, that called on South Africans to join a 24-hour food strike in solidarity with the more than thousand Palestinian political prisoners on hunger strike for improved prison conditions. The prisoners demands include the right to higher education study, appropriate medical care, and an end to solitary confinement, imprisonment without trial and the denial of family visits. As a prisoner on Robben Island for 18 years from 1964, and a detainee subsequently under South Africas 1985 State of Emergency, these demands have a painful echo for Isu and his own hunger strikes to improve prison conditions. I am duty bound today to support the Palestinians who are in the same condition that we were in all those years ago, Isu says in the statement by the foundation. And he adds in conversation with me that he cannot but feel for political prisoners held fundamentally unjustly anywhere in the world. I had the privilege of being detained with Isu for the length of the 1985/86 State of Emergency, and participated with him in two hunger strikes at Johannesburg Prison. … Continue reading →

May 24, 2017 White matter fiber architecture of the brain. Credit: Human Connectome Project. A UCLA study characterizes, for the first time, brain differences between people with a specific genetic risk for schizophrenia and those at risk for autism, and the findings could help explain the biological underpinnings of these neuropsychiatric disorders. The research, published May 23 in the Journal of Neuroscience, sheds light on how an excess, or absence, of genetic material on a particular chromosome affects neural development. "Notably, the opposing anatomical patterns we observed were most prominent in brain regions important for social functioning," said Carrie Bearden, lead author of the study and a professor of clinical psychology at UCLA. "These findings provide clues into differences in brain development that may predispose to schizophrenia or autism." Bearden's earlier research had focused on children with abnormalities caused by missing sections of genetic material on chromosome 22, in a location known as 22q11.2. The disorder, called 22q11.2-deletion syndrome, can cause developmental delays, heart defects and distinct facial features. It also confers the highest-known genetic risk for schizophrenia. Then she learned that people with 22q duplicationabnormal repetition, or duplication, of genetic material in chromosome 22had learning delays and sometimes autism, … Continue reading →
