‘Grey’s Anatomy’ fans to find out what happened to Dr. Alex Karev – CNN

The writers were left to create a storyline for original cast member Justin Chambers following his sudden departure from the medical drama. His last episode aired in November.

Vernoff explains that Chambers' character arc "was a very careful threading of a needle, where we are giving a little bit of information and pain to Jo," she said of Camilla Luddington's character, Jo Karev, adding, "We're, episode by episode, illuminating the story of where Alex is. And it takes us quite a few more episodes to get there and to give the audience clarity."

Luddington's Jo was also taken into consideration when figuring out what to do with Chambers' character.

"Jo went through so much pain and so much grief just last season that I wanted to be careful," Vernoff said. "And so it's a bit of a mystery (what's going on with Alex), so that we don't watch Jo in the same place that we watched her in last season. We did it as carefully as we could. But it takes a while to get there," she said.

"For some time now, however, I have hoped to diversify my acting roles and career choices. And, as I turn 50 and am blessed with my remarkable, supportive wife and five wonderful children, now is that time."

The anatomy of a perfect 10: Analyzing Alabama gymnastics routines – The University of Alabama Crimson White

Katie Windham | @ktwindham5, Staff ReporterFebruary 20, 2020

From mount to dismount, a collegiate uneven bars routine lasts about 15-20 seconds. Behind that 15-second routine are years of training, months of preparation and just the right combination of skills and point values.

Many gymnasts on the Alabama roster competed at the Elite Gymnastics or Junior Olympics levels, where scoring is completely different than in college. Sophomore Emily Gaskins, who was a three-time member of the United States national team, made adjustments to her routine while at Alabama.

Our scoring systems were, if you got a 14 and 15, it was awesome, Gaskins said. And coming to college, you dont have that score and it only goes to 10. You take out a lot of skills in your routine. Youre going from about a minute bar routine to a 10-second, 15-second bar routine.

At the level of a program like Alabama gymnastics, outside of vault which is a one-skill routine every gymnasts routine starts at a 10.0 value. It takes a lot to reach that value, including the basics that must be included in every routine.

Your skills are basically labeled a value of an A, B, C, D and E, coach Dana Duckworth said. When you develop a routine, there are minimum requirements in bars, beam and floor. You have to have three As, two Bs and two Cs.

Every Alabama gymnast has more than As, Bs and Cs in their routine. For example, senior Wynter Childers starts her bars routine out with a kip cast handstand, which is an A skill. She will then release to the high bar with a Maloney, a D-level skill. Then she goes immediately back to the low bar with a bail, which is another D skill.

Childers gets a one-tenth bonus for each D-level skill. Because she connects the two, she gets another 0.20 bonus, which is the CV, or connection value. And those are just three of the skills in her routine.

Every routine requires a total of eight skills, even if the 10.0 start value has already been reached. For example, freshman Ella Burgess routine had all the required difficulty to reach a 10.0 start value on beam, but she only had seven skills, so they had to add a switch leap.

Even though 15-20 seconds seems like a short amount of time to a fan watching from the stands or on TV, there is a lot running through a gymnasts mind during that time. For some, like senior Shea Mahoney, it helps to constantly stay thinking throughout the routine.

So Ill mount the bar, and I just have mental cues, Mahoney said. For me its more of a feeling, and then little tiny words. If I just keep kind of talking to myself throughout the whole bar routine, that is how Ill get through.

Mahoneys mental cues for bars are: mount, tight cast, tight hips, catch the bar, jump to the high bar, tight hips, catch the bar, giant, giant, squeeze your core, look at the ground, wait another second and then really look at the ground, dismount.

Before mounting the bars, Mahoney said she smiles because it releases any last bit of tension or nervousness.

For sophomore Jensie Givens, every uneven bars routine starts with a nod to assistant coach Ryan Roberts, a nod to Gaskins and a deep breath to remind herself that Gods got her. And then she moves into her routine of handstands, a Jaeger (a D-level skill), a bail to the low bar, three giants and a double layout dismount, hoping for the all-important stick on the landing.

Alabama will once again put these skilled routines to the test when it takes on the Florida Gators in Gainesville, Florida, on Friday at 5 p.m.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Alum Katherine Heigl Shows Off Dramatic New ‘Do on Instagram – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Katherine Heigl portrayed Dr. Isobel (Izzie) Stevens on the hit series Greys Anatomy for almost six seasons, abruptly exiting the show in 2010. The actress moved on to other acting projects in films such as 27 Dresses, The Big Wedding, and Unforgettable. The former Greys star has also appeared on several TV shows since her departure including State of Affairs, Suits, and Doubt.

Despite these numerous credits, diehard fans of the ABC medical drama will always think of her as the intelligent, kind-hearted Izzie with the trademark mane of blonde hair, though now shes sporting a much different look.

Before the Season 16 premiere, Greys Anatomy showrunner Krista Vernoff began floating hints of the return of a show alum, yet didnt give any specifics. Im trying to get someone back, she said,according to IMDb. Theres someone Im hoping will make an appearance this year, [but] its a real maybe. Im trying.

Naturally, fans weighed in on who the former cast member could be with guesses including Sarah Drew (April Kempner), Sara Ramirez (Callie Torres), and Sandra Oh, who played the legendary Cristina Yang. When Heigl was promoting the final season of Suits last year, she was asked if she would consider going back to do rounds at Grey Sloan Memorial.

Thats a tough one. I dont know, she said in July, as reported by Cinemablend. I almost feel like that would almost be distracting again to, sort of, what theyve done with that show in the seven years since I left, you know, and what thats become and what it is to the fans now. It must feel like it would just be kind of like, Yeah, we already let that go, you know? Why are you here?'

In September, Heigl posted a pic of herself showing off a sharply different hair color from her traditional blonde to dark brunette for her role of Tully Hart in the upcoming Netflix seriesFireflyLane, according to People.

If you havent caught my stories this will be a shock for you #tullyhart #FireflyLane #nextroleforthisgal, she captionedthe photoat the time, referring to her previous Instagram Story posts revealing the color-change process.

The series, set in the mid-1970s, is based on the book by Kristin Hannah that follows the relationship between central characters Kate Mularkey (played by Sarah Chalke) and Tully Hart (Heigl) that spans three decades. The release date for Firefly Lane has yet to be confirmed.

Earlier this week, Heigl was back on Instagramrevealing that her entire family had gotten new haircuts. While the actress and her 3-year-old son were willing to pose for the pic to debut their new dos, her daughtersAdalaide Marie Hope, 7, andNaleigh Mi-Eun, 11, were not.

Fresh cuts for the Kelleys, Heigl captioned a slideshow of several photos where she shows off a fresh new bob. The girls were nowhere to be found for these picsor theyre hiding cause they dont want to be in the picbut every one of us got our hairs done and we feel fine!

Heigl, who shares her three kids with husband Josh Kelley, added a note on the post that her daughters may want to keep in mind. PS. I will capture the girls cuts one way or another, the Firefly Lane star wrote. they cant hide forever.

The former Greys star proves in her pics that she can pull of any hairstyle!

‘Grey’s Anatomy’: Patrick Dempsey ‘Immediately Had a Great Connection’ with Ellen Pompeo Here’s Why – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Connections can be hard to fake between actors.

But thankfully for Patrick Dempsey, who played Dr. Derek Shepherd aka McDreamy on Greys Anatomy, he didnt have to pretend to have a bond with his on-screen love, Dr. Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo.

The two actors are both happily married in real-life but as a testament to their acting skills, they made audiences believe they were a real couple complete with adorable marriage vows scribbled on a Post-It while starring in Greys Anatomy.

During the course of his 11-season tenure on the show from Shonda Rhimes, Dempsey and his character became beloved by fans. Heck, McDreamy candles are still being sold today long after the actor left the medical drama in 2015.

From the start, the two actors had a connection. According to a 2013 article from TV Guide, Dempsey said he and Pompeo hit it off right away.

I met Ellen, and her Boston accent lit me up because I was from Maine, he said. So, I immediately had a great connection with her.

He echoed the same sentiment again in Oct. 2018 during an interview with Entertainment Tonight three years after his departure from the series.

Dempsey shared that what he and Pompeo had while filming Greys Anatomy proved to be special.

That was a very special bond that just there was a magic to our connection, and thats special, he said.

While they had a bond during Greys Anatomy, Pompeo revealed to Jada Pinkett Smith on an episode of Red Table Talk in Dec. 2018 that she and Dempsey hadnt talked in years, crushing the hearts of Meredith and Derek fans everywhere thinking the two actors were friends in real life.

Pompeo, 50, insisted theres no bad blood between them.

I have no hard feelings toward him, hes a wonderful actor, and we made, you know, the best TV you could make together, she said.

Pompeo emphasized that she and Dempsey arent at odds, saying, Thats a talented man right there he did 11 amazing years.

He continued on doing other things with his acting career, which Pompeo deemed perfectly OK.

You need that time to figure out who you are without the show, she said. So, we have not spoken, but I will always have a place in my heart for Patrick.

While our own hearts hurt a little when Pompeo said she and Dempsey hadnt spoken in years, her sweet comments about her former co-star soften the blow.

Fans were saddened to say goodbye to Dempsey and their favorite surgeon with the ferry boat scrub cap when Derek died in a car crash leaving Meredith to raise their children as a widow. But theyll still appreciate all the scenes Dempsey and Pompeo filmed together where they portrayed one of the most famous couples in recent TV history.

Pompeo continues to star in Greys Anatomy, now in Season 16, which airs Thursday nights at 9 p.m. EST on ABC.

Should Meredith & Carina Be Worried About DeLuca on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’? (VIDEO) – TVInsider

DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti) is determined to figure out what's wrong with his patient, Suzanne (Sarah Rafferty), but his sister Carina (Stefania Spampinato) is worried about him.

As seen in TV Insider's exclusive sneak peek of Thursday'sGrey's Anatomy, she's thinking about the family's history, specifically her father's. (You'll recall that she was the one who noticed signs that their father is bipolar.)

"I came to Seattle because Andrew is now the same age as our father was when his symptoms started," Carina explains to Meredith (Ellen Pompeo). And it's not just his behavior when it comes to trying to treat Suzanne."Failing to understand or properly consider the consequences of your actions is a sign of mania," Carina continues.

Watch the clip above to see the examples she lists and Meredith's reaction.

(ABC/Gilles Mingasson)

In "A Diagnosis," DeLuca is irritated when Meredith takes over with Suzanne. Plus, Jackson (Jesse Williams), Owen (Kevin McKidd), and Jo (Camilla Luddington) work on a couple injured in a bear attack, and Levi (Jake Borelli) is hurt when Nico (Alex Landi) doesn't want him to meet his parents.

The anatomy of a blacklist – IJN – Intermountain Jewish News

The chamber of the UN Human Rights Council (Wikimedia)

If there were an ounce of doubt that the UN is fundamentally anti-Israel, the publication yesterday of a blacklist of 112 mostly Israeli companies erased it.

We say this not because the concept of a blacklist or boycott is fundamentally wrong. We say this because this database doesnt actually call for a boycott, instead it tars Israeli commerce and those who engage with it. You may be thinking: Well, isnt that better than an out-and-out boycott? No. Because besmirching Israel doesnt require evidence, as it would if any actual action were called for.

Basically, the UN Human Rights Council, which mandated this database, wants to get everyone thinking: Its bad to do business with Israel. Sow enough doubt, cast enough stones, and who needs a formal boycott?

Heres how Prof. Yuval Shany, vice president of the Israel Democracy Institute, sums it up:

While the list does not entail specific assignment of responsibility for human rights violations and does not impose sanctions on companies or countries, it can have long term implications, such as a chilling effect on entities considering investing or operating in the West Bank, for fear of the stigma of being branded as human rights violators if they were to appear in this official UN database.

Due process? Doesnt exist at the UN. But then, no one is really surprised about that.

The most shameful thing about this blacklist, however, is that it will harm the very people whom the Human Rights Council is claiming to support: Palestinians. Regardless of ones views on settlements and doing business in the West Bank, it is undeniable that commerce in the West Bank brings jobs to the West Bank. If commerce leaves the West Bank, so will the jobs.

One particularly egregious inclusion is that of Rami Levy, a grocery store chain known not only for employing Palestinians, but it has been deeply engaged with Breaking the Impasse, a World Bank-supported effort to facilitate peace through business.

For long-time UN observers, none of this comes as a surprise. UN efforts, whether through the General Assembly, UNRWA or UNHCR, appear to be about outsized criticism of Israel and cementing Palestinian identity as permanent refugee. Harming the West Bank economy seems proof positive of that.

For further information, UN Watch has an excellent Myths and Facts on the database.

New Discoveries in Human Anatomy – The Scientist

In the 16th century, when the study of human anatomy was still in its infancy, curious onlookers would gather in anatomical theaters to catch of a glimpse of public dissections of the dead. In the years since, scientists have carefully mapped the viscera, bones, muscles, nerves, and many other components of our bodies, such that a human corpse no longer holds that same sense of mystery that used to draw crowds.

New discoveries in gross anatomythe study of bodily structures at the macroscopic levelare now rare, and their significance is often overblown, says Paul Neumann, a professor who specializes in the history of medicine and anatomical nomenclature at Dalhousie University. The important discoveries about anatomy, I think, are now coming from studies of tissues and cells.

Over the last decade, there have been a handful of discoveries that have helped overturn previous assumptions and revealed new insights into our anatomy. Whats really interesting and exciting about almost all of the new studies is the illustration of the power of new [microscopy and imaging] technologies to give deeper insight, saysTom Gillingwater, a professor of anatomy at the University of Edinburgh in the UK. I would guess that many of these discoveries are the start, rather than the end, of a developing view of the human body.

Here is a sampling of some of those discoveries.

The lymphatic system, a body-wide network of vessels that drains fluids and removes waste from tissues and organs, was long-believed to be absent from the brain. Early reports of lymphatic vessels in the meninges, the membrane coating the brain, date as far back as the 18th centurybut these findings were met with skepticism. Only recently has this view been overturned, after a 2015 report of lymphatic vessels in mouse meninges and the 2012 discovery of the so-called glymphatic system, an interconnected network of glial cells that facilitates the circulation of fluid throughout mouse brains. In 2017, neuroimaging work revealed evidence for such lymphatic vessels in human meninges.

In 2018, researchers reported that the space between cells was a collagen-lined, fluid-filled network, which they dubbed the interstitium. They proposed that this finding, which emerged from close examinations of tissue from patients bile ducts, bladders, digestive tracts, and skin, may help scientists better understand how tumors spread through the body. The team also called the interstitium a newly-discovered organ, but many dismissed this claim. Most biologists would be reticent to put the moniker of an organ on microscopic uneven spaces between tissues that contain fluid, Anirban Maitra, a pathologist at the University of Texas MD Anderson Center, told The Scientistlast year.

Until recently, the prevailing view among scientists was that the mesentery, the large, fan-like sheet of tissue that holds our intestines in place, consisted of multiple fragments. In 2016, after examining the mesentery of both cadavers and patients undergoing surgery, a team of researchers concluded that the mesentery was actually a single unit. This wasnt the first time the mesentery was described as continuousin one of the first depictions of the structure, Leonardo da Vinci also portrayed it in this way. But in the 2016 paper, the scientists argued that its continuity should qualify the mesentery as an organ. As with the interstitium, however, other experts have objected to this claim. In both of these cases, there seems to have been a misunderstanding of what the term organ means, Neumann says.

laurie okeefe

In January 2019, scientists described a previously unknown web of capillaries that pass through the bones of mice. Textbooks describe large veins and arteries jutting out the ends of bones, but this newly-described network of tunnels provide a faster route for blood cells produced in the bone marrow to enter the circulation. The research team also looked at human bones using a variety of methods: taking photos from patients undergoing surgery, conducting MRI scans of a healthy leg, and investigating extracted samples under a microscopeand revealed a similar, albeit less extensive, system of capillaries.

Last October, researchers reported that muscles typically seen in reptiles and other animalsbut not peoplewere present in the limbs of human embryos. Using a combination of immunostaining, tissue clearing, and microscopy, the team generated high-resolution 3-D images of upper and lower limb muscles in tissue samples from preserved 8- to 14-week-old embryos and fetuses. These structures, which disappear before birth, may be anatomical remnants of our evolutionary ancestors that disappear during the early stages of development, the authors suggest. They only examined 13 images, however, so experts caution that its a preliminary finding that needs to be replicated in a larger sample.

The fabella, a tiny bone located in a tendon behind the knee, is becoming more common in humans, according to a study published last spring. After reviewing 58 studies on fabella prevalence in 27 different countries, researchers reported that people were approximately 3.5 times more likely to have the little bone in 2018 than 1918. The cause of this trend remains an open question, but the authors suggest that changes in muscle mass and bone lengthdriven by increased diet quality in many parts of the worldcould be one explanation.

Grey’s Anatomy: Amelia Shepherd’s 10 Most Heartbreaking Moments – Screen Rant

Amelia Shepherd has had quite a tragic past on both Grey's Anatomy and its popular spin-off, Private Practice. She has struggled with addiction constantly but has also suffered several tremendous losses and yet she has still managed to retain her quirky personality and sense of humor throughout.

RELATED: Grey's Anatomy: Jo Wilson's 10 Most Heartbreaking Moments

After appearing in 3 seasons of Private Practice, Amelia made her way on to the parent show, where she has remained to this day. Amelia grew close to both Meredith Grey and Maggie Pierce and views both of them as sisters. However, despite her cheerful attitude, when Amelia is alone and in pain, it's absolutely devastating.

This was one of the best episodes of the medical drama's twelfth season. Derek Shepherd, Amelia's brother and the love of Meredith's life, had died in the previous season and so Season 12 saw both Amelia and Mer attempt to try and move on with their lives. Unfortunately, it was never going to be that easy.

Meredith hosted a dinner party at her house, to which everyone was invited, including Callie Torres. However, Callie brought her new girlfriend, Penny Blake, who treated Derek before he died. When Amelia found out, her devastation was uncomfortably clear; this was the woman who was partly responsible for Derek's death.

Sadly, viewers didn't get to see Derek Shepherd at his best during his last season on the show. He and Meredith were arguing about Derek giving up a job with the President to stay in Seattle with his family. Derek was in a constant bad mood around the hospital and he took it out on others.

RELATED: Grey's Anatomy: 10 Supporting Characters Who Deserved More Screen Time

Amelia bore the brunt of his anger as she was his sister and had also taken over Derek's job as Chief of Neurosurgery. Derek resented being demoted and so treated his sister like garbage; he suggested to Owen Hunt that Amelia might not be suited for her position because of her past drug addiction.

One of Amelia's main character traits was that she was impulsive and often neglected to look before she leaped. When Arizona Robbins secretly ordered in scans of Dr. Nicole Herman's inoperable brain tumor, Amelia saw themandclaimed that she could operate and get rid of the tumor.

This was never going to be an easy surgery and the pressure started to build as the operation drew closer. Viewers saw Amelia lose her confidence slightly as she began to wonder whether she had made a mistake. The worst came when Amelia visibly broke down and started crying right before the surgery.

Amelia's relationship with the rest of her family is rocky at best. She seemed to be closest to her brother, Derek, but as we've already pointed out, that bond was extremely flawed. Additionally, her mother and sisters didn't really appear to understand her and so maintained an emotional distance.

RELATED: 10 Celebs You Forgot Guest Starred On Grey's Anatomy

This probably affected Amelia more than she let on. In Season 12, when she and Owen were about to get married, Amelia was devastated when she learned that none of her family would be coming to the wedding because they didn't trust how quickly she and Owen got engaged and didn't think it would last.

Obviously, this is pretty terrible news whoever you are. However, the ramifications of Amelia's tumor affected her deeply. Essentially, Amelia had been living with this tumor for a good ten years, meaning that every decision she ever made could have been a result of the tumor, including Herman's surgery.

Once this dawned on Amelia, she went into panic mode, requesting notes on all her patients and worrying that she might have killed them. Thankfully, Richard Webber was there to comfort and reassure her. This didn't stop Amelia from telling everyone she loved them right before her big operation.

The Betty storyline was divisive amongst fans and critics alike, and it involved Owen and Amelia teaming up to take care of baby Leo and his teenage mother, Betty. Betty was a drug addict who had recently given birth and so Amelia took her in, knowing exactly how Betty felt and what she needed.

RELATED: Grey's Anatomy: 10 Couples That Would Have Made A Lot Of Sense (But Never Got Together)

However, it wasn't all plain sailing, as Betty continued to struggle with her addiction. After Amelia dropped her off at school one day, it transpired that Betty had gone missing. Owen, Amelia, and Teddy looked for her but had no luck. During Betty's disappearance, Amelia was clearly traumatized and guilt-ridden.

Amelia's relationship with Derek was a delicate one but her relationship with her sisters seemed to be non-existent. In Season 15, Amelia was invited to dinner by her older sister, Nancy. Unable to get out of it, Amelia brought along Link to act as her husband, Owen, to save any further embarrassment.

As this is Grey's we're talking about, things did not go well at all. Amelia's other sister, Kathleen, also attended the dinner and together with Nancy, began to gang up on their little sister. Amelia took a lot of snide and nasty remarks but was clearly shaken and visibly upset. We can't say we blame her.

During her entire time in the world of Grey's Anatomy, Amelia has constantly battled with addiction. Unlike Webber, another addict, Amelia's choice of drug was opioids. While she relapsed slightly in Grey's, this was barely featured as a storyline. However, Amelia's first relapse was horrific to watch.

RELATED: Grey's Anatomy: The 10 Best Couples, Ranked

In the fifth season of Private Practice, Amelia was clearly struggling with staying sober. Eventually, though, she succumbed to temptation and began using again. It was awful to watch Amelia's physical and mental health decline, and the way she treated her friends and family was utterly heartbreaking.

Amelia has seen so many personal tragedies in her lifetime that she has almost become immune to the emotional pain. Or so she'd like everyone to believe. When Derek died late on in Season 11, Owen had to wait to tell Amelia until she was out of surgery. When he broke the news, Amelia appeared unaffected.

However, this was simply Amelia's way of coping. During Meredith's 'year out', Amelia kept on cracking dark and inappropriate jokes about Derek's demise. However, she later publicly broke down in front of Owen, who later tracked her down, only to find her about to take drugs to dull the emotional pain.

This was probably one of the most emotional and heartbreaking scenes that took place in the Grey's Anatomy universe, on par with the death of April and Jackson's baby boy. In Season 5 of Private Practice, Amelia discovered that she was pregnant with her late fianc, and fellow drug addict, Ryan Kerrigan.

Amelia didn't originally know how to feel about this but, unbelievably, there was still worse to come. Amelia's baby was anencephalic (meaning he had no brain) and so he wouldn't survive for long outside of the womb. Amelia still had to carry him to term however and later donated his organs.

‘Anatomy of a Murder’ to be held at courthouse – Thecountypress

By oht_editor | on February 19, 2020

LAPEER With the debut of the Lapeer County Theatres performances of Anatomy of a Murder almost exactly a month away, director Pat Stiles, along with her cast and crew, are buttoning down what Stiles is hoping to be a memorable show.

And the setting will certainly play a part the two weekends of the show, four performances in all, will be held at the Historic Lapeer County Courthouse.

Anatomy of a Murder is slated to take over the historic space on March 20-21 as well as March 27-28. All shows begin at 7:30 p.m.

Anatomy of a Murder tells the tale of Paul Bieglers first case. In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Paul Biegler isnt looking forward to becoming a defense attorney, but his first case is sensational a lieutenant is accused of murdering the bartender who allegedly raped his wife. Its a high-stakes battle of wit and determination, as Biegler uses every device to save the officers neck.

According to Stiles, rehearsals are going very well. We are currently working on the last 35 pages (of the script), she said. This play is very exciting and is for a mature audience only. The biggest challenge is for George Jones, who plays (protagonist) Paul Biegler. He is in every scene and has a million lines. Did I mention he is fabulous?

The cast is excited and enthusiastic for the opening of this play, said Stiles, and the success of the LCTs last play at the courthouse, 12 Angry Jurors, is in the back of everyones minds. The (cast) are working long and hard to make this play as wonderful as 12 Angry Jurors, Stiles said. That is a hard act to follow, but I think this will be even better.

Every performance of 12 Angry Jurors sold out, and Stiles is hoping that this years play will follow suit. Tickets just went on sale and are available at brownpapertickets.com. There are only 100 seats available per night and we are expecting a sell out at every performance, she said. Everyone should buy their tickets as soon as possible, because when they are gone, they are gone.
