Welcome to the Anatomy of a Goal, where each week we dissect one goal (or near goal) from the previous weeks Columbus Crew SC match. For Match 18 of the 2017 MLS Season, we take a look at Kekuta Mannehs 70th minute goal that put Crew SC up 2-1 as part of a 4-1 win over Montreal Impact on Saturday. Heres a look at the finish from the Columbus winger. Until Mannehs goal, his first in Black & Gold, Crew SC looked listless after a good start to the match. Federico Higuain opened up the scoring for Columbus in the 17th minute, but the home side gave up a quick equalizer and appeared set for another disappointing match with a blown lead. Luckily that didnt happen. Full disclosure, this goal is not the most technical Crew SC has scored, but it does provide a few interesting moments of skill. Specifically a moment of either individual brilliance or pure luck by Ola Kamara. The aim here is to spend a chunk of this Anatomy of a Goal showing that Kamara did intend to settle the ball into the path of Manneh rather than inadvertently settling the ball for his teammate. Mannehs … Continue reading →

It was last fall, and negotiations with the Elmore Sports Group to bring its AA minor league San Antonio baseball franchise to Amarillo were creeping along. Its not that they were at an impasse, but something needed to be done to get talks off high center. Wichita, Kan., with its 400,000 population and serious talks of a $60 million stadium along the Arkansas River, was an inviting suitor. So too was Amarillo, but negotiators on behalf of the citys Local Government Corp. believed they needed a buzz. We had to create an advantage, said Alex Fairly, president of the Fairly Group, a risk management firm whose clients include Dave and D.G. Elmore among many professional and collegiate sports teams and organizations. We needed to do something they just couldnt say no to. It had to be shocking. The plan was to not just tell, but show the Elmores how committed Amarillo was to affiliated minor league baseball and rejoining the Texas League with a new downtown stadium. The plan was to sell all the inventory in the to-be-built $45.5 million stadium. That meant the big-ticket items of suite sponsorships, stadium and field naming rights, and Founders agreements. More than that, … Continue reading →

The Senate Ways and Means Committee took a very different tack. Its 10-page version basically said, Well take away the States 10 percent skim off the surcharge, but no extension; youre on your own. That draft unanimously passed the full Senate and went over to the House. House Finance Committee Chairwoman Sylvia Luke and Senate Ways and MeansChairwoman Jill Tokudaplayed key roles in the various drafts of the rail tax bill. Cory Lum/Civil Beat There, the House Transportation Committee kept the bill alive by putting blanks in it its draft extended the tax to an unspecified date, reinstated the skim but replaced the percentage with a blank percent to recover the states costs and a blank percent that would go the DOT for state highway projects. The House Finance Committee then filled in the blanks, extending the tax for two years, and dropping the skim to 1 percent, none of which would be earmarked for the DOT. This version went to the conference committee, and then surprising things started happening. First, the Senate proposed a new draft, radically different from the version that passed the Senate, which extended the surcharge for 10years and raised the skim to 20 percent. The … Continue reading →

Since 2005 the cast of Greys Anatomy has made us laugh, cry, and even taught us some life lessons. The shows title character Dr. Meredith Grey has been at the forefront of those life lessons. Over the years her storyline has subtly taught us things about love, triumph, and loss. Here are a few life lessons weve learned from Dr. Meredith Grey, along with a few quotes from her to sum it up. 1. Dont apologize to others if they cant accept how you cope Quote: I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke. Plain and simple, when someone does you wrong or breaks your heart its not their place to judge and critique how you repair yourself. Its crazy how often we care about how the person that has done us wrong judges our coping mechanisms. 2. Dont be afraid to make mistakes, just make sure you learn from them. Quote: We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep todays possibility under tomorrows rug until we cant anymore. In life, you cant fear making a mistake, or youll never get a chance to live … Continue reading →

Let's call a spade a spade: Grey's Anatomy is a ridiculous showin the best way possible, of course. The staff at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital is under constant duress. Fires! Plane crashes! Multiple, tragic deaths! These doctors seriously can't catch a break. Just when you think Meredith Grey and company are in the clear, bam: We're hit with a car crash or an affair or Bailey missing her own wedding. To call Grey's Anatomy "bonkers" would be a gross understatement. So it's only fitting a show like this have a dramatic title. Grey's Anatomy is a great name because it's ambiguous to folks who don't watch the show. Who is Grey? And whose anatomy are we exploring? The title lends itself nicely to messy melodrama. But it was almost called something completely different. And not just different: boring. In a new interview with BuzzFeed, Kate Walsh (who played Dr. Addison Montgomery for eight glorious seasons on Grey's, and then for another six on Private Practice) revealed producers tried to change the name of the show three times. "With Grey's, I remember because I came in at episode eight, at that time the morale was really low. They kept changing the … Continue reading →

Kate Walsh will always have a bit of Addison Montgomery in her. The actress rose to fame onGrey's Anatomystarring as the girl every avid watcher loved to hate. After two seasons as a main character opposite Ellen Pompeo andPatrick Dempsey, Walsh parlayed Addison into her own spinoff,Private Practice. Now four years after the hit medical drama said goodbye to the infamous neonatal surgeon, Walsh is reflecting on the role that changed her life. During a Q&A with Buzzfeed, Kate said she'll never forget her entrance at the end of seasonone.Grey's fans will vividly remember when she (and her fiery red locks) surprised estranged husband Derek Shepherd (Dempsey) and his new girlfriend, Meredith Grey, (Pompeo) at the hospital. She recalled, "I got more calls and attention from that 60-second scene than anything in my career before.Isn't that funny?" Walsh continued, "Everyone hated me, but at that time there was no Twitter. There were chat rooms, but I never really went on them. I kind of liked being the Wicked Witch from the East. Or the wicked bitch. [Show creator] Shonda [Rhime's] really gifted at flipping every character that's seemingly awful. It's a great lesson in how to have compassion for people … Continue reading →

Grey's Anatomy is bringing back a fan favourite for season 14. Deadline reports that Kim Raver will return to the ABC medical drama as Dr Teddy Altman for a guest arc on the upcoming season, although it's not yet clear what her storyline will be. Dr Altman was last seen in the season eight finale when she was fired from Seattle Grace by her crush Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) for a good reason as it allowed her to take her dream job at MEDCOM. ABC Advertisement - Continue Reading Below It wasn't the last we heard of her though, as Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) spoke to her on the phone in season 13 when Owen's presumed dead sister was treated at Altman's hospital. Raver will also be seen in the fifth season of Ray Donovan in a recurring role as a surgeon. Grey's Anatomy fans were left relieved, but sad, when the season 13 finale last month saw series regular Jerrika Hinton leave her role as Dr Stephanie Edwards after five seasons on the show.

Anatomy of a Suicide looks at three generations of women in various phases of mental collapse. They line up on a stage that resembles a grey dungeon while sad events unfold around them. The first woman gets pregnant. The second takes heroin. The third argues with a lesbian about a fish. Their lives span several decades but their stories are presented simultaneously, and this tripartite method conceals the plain fact that the events dramatised are too flimsy to merit theatrical portrayal. A soap opera would baulk at such scenes: a druggie teenager bores a cameraman with a list of gloomy soundbites; a female wedding guest is partially seduced by a giggling gatecrasher; a patient in a hospital invites a nurse to eat some haddock. Writer Alice Birch aims her characterisation at the chicklit crowd. All the females are sympathetic because theyre lost, miserable and a bit whiney. The males are uniformly horrible, aggressive, sentimental boors. With one exception: a black male character who seems so sweet and intelligent that he might be an honorary woman. Each change of scene involves a flash of lesbian titillation. The actresses are stripped to their bikinis by stage hands who pass them fresh costumes … Continue reading →

The leadership campaign, especially the first one, and the general election campaign weve just had, are expressions of the same phenomenon but there are distinct features of each. I think there was a tendency among political commentators to regard what happened in 2015 in the Labour Party as if it was a political nervous breakdown, as if everybody in the Labour Party had lost their minds, or it was a takeover of the party by entryists. There was no evidence for a takeover, because there werent enough people who came into the Labour Party to outnumber existing members anyway, but the first one persisted. There was this sense that there may be an anti-austerity movement and an antiwar movement that animated people on the left, but this is restricted to a tiny group of people. I remember seeing Julia Hartley-Brewer on Sky News saying everybody who would vote for Jeremy Corbyn was already a member of the Labour Party, this is when we had about five hundred thousand people in the Labour Party. The general election has completely destroyed that idea. Political analysts, right up even to professors, looked at the Labour Party as if it was some kind of … Continue reading →
