"There's actually two events going on at the same time that are pretty big that affect the entire hospital community," she said, specifically hinting that these "events" will affect relationships. First, Alex (played by Justin Chambers) has to make a tough decision regarding Jo (played by Camilla Luddington). Then, Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) shares news with Riggs (Martin Henderson) that changes their relationship as they know it.

Last Sunday in a 3-0 road win overthe LA Galaxy, Seattle Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer opted to start Will Bruin up front and move Jordan Morris to the left wing. And for the first time in 2017, the Sounders offense clicked looked the explosive juggernaut it could be.

The reason why the adjustment is so successful is because it more naturally suits Morris and Bruins styles of play. Morris is much more of a second striker and loves to run at defenders in space. Bruin is a target forward by trade, who is comfortable with his back to goal and stretching center backs deep.

Watching the Sounders front four operate against the Galaxy was like watching poetry in motion, the way Morris, Bruin, Clint Dempsey and Nicolas Lodeiro bossed the attacking third. In previous matches, Dempsey, Lodeiro and Harry Shipp stepped on each others toes and often made the same runs, while Morris was left on an island and a non-factor. Thepersonnel shift Schmetzer made last Sunday unlocked another offensive dimension.

To see how effectively this worked, lets take a look at the second goal the Sounders scored against the Galaxy. It was an own goal off the foot of Ashley Cole, yes, but Seattles build-up play forced the issue.

On this play, Dempsey has the ball 10 yards shy of midfield. Noticing a gap in the middle, Morris checks back to the ball to provide Dempsey with a passing option.

When Morris receives the pass, he turns and realizes he has space in front of him and attacks.

Morris initially wants to pass the ball wide to Joevin Jones, but Romain Alessandrini closes down the passing lane and forces Morris inside.

Recognizing the gap in between the Galaxy midfield and the back line, Morris instincts take over. He uses his pace to penetrate and force LA to collapse. Once it does, Morris senses the space opening for Jones on the left and lays it off to him.

Once Morris does this, LA is in real danger. Bruin is yards in front of Cole and making a run to the near post while Morris continues his run after his pass and bolts toward the penalty spot.

The subsequent cross from Jones is perfectly weighted and put just far enough out of the reach of goalkeeper Brian Rowe that it forces him to stay close to his line. A retreating Cole does everything he can to step in front of an onrushing and open Bruin, but all the veteran English left back can do is get a touch on it, which deflects poorly and sails past Rowe.

The goal may not have been finished by a Sounders player, but its origin was entirely Morris and his positioning in a wider, reserved role. Morris deserves a lot of the credit, but it was as much his doing as his tactical placement. Although not an out-and-out winger, Morris is far more successful in wide spaces than he is alone up top.

The best thing Schmetzer has done since taking over as head coach last July is put his players in optimal positionsto succeed. Morris on the wing with a true No. 9 in Bruin up front appears to be just that.

Look at the detail inside the heart, said Paul Brown, DDS, a consulting associate professor of anatomy at Stanford. Isnt that phenomenal?

I tend to turn away at the sight of blood or bones. And yet here I was, inside of an anatomy lab on assignment and admiring high-resolution photographs of human anatomy wax sculptures.

The wax statues, or waxes, were created 250 years ago in Florence, Italy and are located in La Specola, one of the worlds oldest museums of natural history. The museum is home to about a thousand wax figures; each meant to capture the intricacies of what lies beneath the skin. Brown, who loves creating digital libraries of medical images, has captured around 200 of the waxes in an effort to make them accessible, and to use them as visual aids in anatomy classrooms at Stanford and beyond.

We were introduced to the waxes this year,Shayan Fakurnejad, a second-year medical student, told me for an Inside Stanford Medicine piece I wrote on the wax figures. Theyre really a great way of simplifying some of the anatomy you see in the cadavers. Theyre just gorgeous pieces, too.

But medical students arent the only ones using the waxes the images are being used as props in Stanford classes such as Art and Anatomy, and Anatomy and Society.

I was really impressed with them, said Lauren Ashley Toomer, lecturer for the Art and Anatomy class. The fact that they were all anatomically correct and not only just beautiful specimens, I thought it would be a great tool for my class.

A diverse set of students take Toomers class not only medical students and students who are interested in the sciences, but also those from arts, engineering and psychology. Not everyone is as comfortable around the cadavers, she said. So having the actual images and working from those has been really beneficial.

Students in the class learn about the history of these works, their science, and use either paint or graphite to reproduce their own versions of the waxes.

Its like layers of translation from the bodies, where the original artists were working from to the waxes, and now back to 2-D work with either painting or drawing, said Toomer. It makes me think about how [the artists] used these really beautiful and eloquent poses with the body, and just the whole tie between art and anatomy.

In this sneak peek for the April 27 episode, Bailey leads Meredith and Nathan into a press conference at the hospital to talk about their heroics, and reporters pepper them with questions how they felt about the commendation they got from the governor, if its true they got a call from the President, etc.

I was we were on our way to a medical conference, Meredith begins. Pretty routine stuff, really. Certainly didnt expect to be sitting here in front of all of you.

The reporters hone in on Nathan, asking how the experience compares to his time working as a field surgeon in war-torn regions.

Less dust, less wind, less legroom, he jokes, but hes quick to deflect the attention.

Look, I was there. I pitched in. So was a pediatric dentist, flight attendants even some of the passengers helped out.

But Dr. Grey was working on a mans brain in conditions under which Ive never seen, he continues.

She didnt fail or falter, not once. She was incredible. And so she is your story, not me.

And thats when he rubs Mers shoulder, a moment of intimacy Maggie definitely notices, and Mer even seems to notice Maggie noticing.

In a #TGIT promo, we see Mer in the bathroom, seemingly regretting that PDA as Alex listens.

Shes gonna hate me, she says.

Youre right, Alex says. She might hate you.

But sibling rivalry may be the least of Meredith and Nathans concerns. Check out this scoop about the Season 13 finale from Entertainment Weekly:

Meredith has some news for Riggs (Martin Henderson) that brings their relationship to a turning point.

Whats the first thing you think when you hear that news is bringing a relationship to a turning point? If youre like us, you think pregnancy.

Perhaps a mid-air walk of shame isnt the only consequence of their induction into the Mile High Club in that April 13 episode!

A pregnancy would certainly fuel Mer and Nathans storyline well into Season 14. Would she add a fourth baby to her brood? Or would she get an abortion on Greys for the first time?

Even though these docs are back on terra firma, were still braced for impact!

Greys Anatomy Season 13 Episode 21 Dont Stop Me Now airs Thursday, April 27 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

'Grey's Anatomy' Season 13 Sneak Peek: Maggie Learns the Truth ... - Wetpaint

As #ShondaRhimes once again closes the book on another dramatic year of #GreysAnatomy, she is looking back over the past 13 seasons of casualties and crying in homage to those who have come and gone in the hospital heartbreaker.

Alongside County General Hospital from ER, the Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital is the most dangerous medical facility out there hell, I would rather go to St. Elsewhere. However, with rarely a dry eye in the house, Grey's has thrown some truly devastating deaths our way. Whether it be George O'Malley, Denny Duquette, or even Mc. Dreamy himself, Rhimes has revealed there is only one death that she truly regrets.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the no-nonsense director revealed that she doesn't pull any punches when culling her cast, but there was one death she instantly regretted.

Rhimes says she struggled to kill off Kyle Chandler's character Dylan Young, who memorably appeared back in 2006. Although Chandler may be better known for his role as lovable Coach Taylor on #FridayNightLights, he appeared in an explosive episode of Grey's second season.

Discussing the character's exit, Rhimes recalled how tough it was:

"He would pitch me ideas on how Dylan, his character, could maybe not explode. I would show him the line in the script that said, 'Dylan explodes.' Thats literally all it said. He was written to explode."

Dylan was part of a bomb disposal squad who were tasked with removing a live bomb from inside a patient. Ellen Pompeo's Meredith had held her hand on the bomb for the majority of the episode, while Dylan eventually managed to remove it and walked away to save those around him. Knowing that even the slightest movement would set the bomb off, Dylan was dramatically killed in the inevitable explosion.

See also:

The show has killed some huge characters in its time and they all had truly emotional exits. Everyone remembers T.R. Knight's O'Malley heroically saving a woman from a bus and his unrecognizable body arriving at the hospital. Elsewhere, even Patrick Dempsey wasn't safe as Meredith's husband Derek Shepherd and bowed out in the 11th season.

Even after all that, Rhimes says she only regrets killing off Dylan:

"I did not expect to have Kyle Chandler. I didnt want to explode him."

While we are pretty sure that Meredith would regret some of the other deaths a bit more, Pompeo at least shares some of the creator's sentiments:

"I remember thinking Kyle Chandler was amazing. I wasnt surprised his career really took off after that because he was so natural."

Luckily, Chandler did get to return (posthumously) for one more round in the third season's "Some Kind of Miracle," appearing to Meredith when it seemed that she had drowned in the previous episode.

Who knows what would've happened if Dylan had successfully defused the bomb, but knowing the cut-throat mentality of Rhimes, he probably would've been killed in a plane crash, developed some terminal disease, or been blown away by a tornado by now. Also, we have to thank you, Shonda, for giving us Coach Taylor!

Reports: 'Grey's Anatomy' star Jesse Williams files for divorce - USA TODAY

by Jon Milhon 87, Ph.D.

It was a summer morning, and I was helping my research students when I received a phone call. The caller explained that she had a daughter who had committed to study biology at a local Christian university, but she wanted her daughter to come to APU. I had never met either of them. In fact, she called me by chance and wanted to know if I would talk with her daughter.

I get to talk with a lot of high school students, and I have a policy about never talking negatively about other universities. I know APU is not for everyone, and many other universities are doing great work (especially the one that the womans daughter had decided to attend). I prefer to underpromise and overdeliver as opposed to a hard sell. I told the woman that I would be happy to meet with her daughter, but I would tell her that she had chosen to attend a fine university and that she would get a great education there. I would stay true to my self-imposed policyno hard sell, no attempt to talk her out of her choice. I would just answer her questions.

Sarah ODell 16 arrived at my office alone, and even though her mother told her what I would say, I started by congratulating Sarah on her choice of university. In answering Sarahs questions, it became apparent that she wanted to become a physician, so we talked about all the things APU has to offer pre-med students. Sarah mentioned that her most influential high school teacher was a biology teacher who graduated from APU named Mr. Robinson. I just about fell out of my chair. You mean Michael Robinson? The same Michael who fell asleep in my Cell Biology class? Evidently, Mr. Robinson (03, M.A. 05) has become an outstanding science teacher and Christian mentor.

Our conversation ended with a tour of our fabulous new science building and an offer to answer any other questions she might have. Sarah did not give me any indication during our conversation that she was having second thoughts, but she called her mom on the way back to the elevator and said she had changed her mindshe was coming to APU!

I saw Sarah in the fall semester and I got to hear how our conversation the previous summer was the deciding factor in choosing APU. Over the semester, Sarah came by the office a dozen times. From our first conversation, I could see that Sarah was confident and intelligent, but she took it to a whole new level one day when she came in after one of her General Education courses. She was angry. She had just left a class where they had discussed worldviews, and she vehemently disagreed with the students in the discussion. She plopped herself down in my chair and began to pick apart their arguments. I asked her where she learned such sound argumentation, and she attributed much of that to Mr. Robinson. I was so impressed that I invited Sarah to work with my research team.

Sarah brought lab skills, the ability to think critically, and a work ethic that are rarely seen, especially in freshmen. Other professors could see this, too. She mentioned that her General Education professors often wanted her to change to their respective majors. Sarah excelled in these courses, not just because she was a good student, but because she loved the process of becoming broadly educated and believes it is connected to her calling. A Spanish minor followed. Then study away in Oxford fueled her passion for literature and C.S. Lewis. Eventually, her love for and proficiency in research got her thinking about pursuing a Ph.D. The awards began to come in as well: financial scholarships; the Outstanding Biology Graduate Award; a research internship at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Bethesda, Maryland; and an award from the Honors College to start collecting books for a personal library.

Sarah has decided to pursue a joint MD/Ph.D. degree, but she intentionally took a two-year detour to earn a masters degree in English in APUs new program. Many people questioned her decision; they wondered if she doubted the choice to become a physician. There was never a doubt. It gives a good picture of Sarahshe is an academic, and she loves to learn. The experience has added fuel to the fire of her love for all things liberal arts, and she has discovered firsthand what many people in medical schools are realizing: being passionate about the liberal arts will make her a better physician and researcher. That should be no surprise; proponents of the liberal arts have been saying this for years.

Sarah has been accepted to MD/Ph.D. programs and still has more interviews. She still comes by my office regularly and always has another lecture, conference, or symposium to tell me about. One of the highlights of last semester was taking Sarah and my daughter, Jenna, to a rare place in todays world: a used-book store. Sarah needed help spending part of the Honors College award and Jenna, being a book fanatic, was thrilled to help.
