News: Mega Buzz: Grey's Anatomy Infidelity, the Bones Wedding and a New Girl Sister

Sara Ramirez, Emily Deschanel, Zooey Deschanel

Every week, editors Adam Bryant and Natalie Abrams satisfy your need for TV scoop. Please send all questions?to mega_scoop@tvguide.com or tweet them to @adam_bryant or @NatalieAbrams.

How will Callie and Arizona deal with Arizona's infidelity when Grey's Anatomy returns? ?Jane
NATALIE: Season 10 picks up right where we left off: with Callie and Arizona in a very bad place. "[Callie is] reeling, so there's a lot of reactive emotional outbursts and acting out. She doesn't hide it from the hospital how she feels," Sara Ramirez says. "They wind up in the same place they were at in the beginning of the season. There's the extra element of infidelity, but they're back in the darkness of it and they're shining a light on it." Get more scoop on the fallout here.

I'd love some Bones scoop. Do you have any idea when the wedding will actually happen? ? Jessica
ADAM: I can certainly tell you when it won't happen. "We're moving fast this year. We're not going to tease that out another entire season," creator Hart Hanson tells us. "I think people assume that it would be a season-ender, but we try not to live up to people's assumptions." But given the wounds that need to be healed, don't necessarily expect it to happen too soon. (November sounds likely.) In fact, when Brennan turns to her colleagues for advice about her relationship, a returning Daisy suggests that Brennan should move on. Fortunately, she doesn't listen to her. "These are two people who love each other," Hanson says. "At the end of the first episode, it's less divisive. There's hope."

Got any scoop on New Girl? ? Sarah
NATALIE: Emily Deschanel is coming to New Girl! OK, not really, but wouldn't it be awesome if Zooey's real-life sibling played Jess' sister? It's possible! We'll meet that character later this year, according to executive producer Liz Meriwether, and boy, is she trouble! "I have a feeling that Emily has a pretty busy schedule with Bones, [but] I'm excited to cast the sister; I think it'll be really fun." Send your casting suggestions below!

Any new spoilers on NCIS: Los Angeles? ? Marc
ADAM: Executive producer (and hyperbolic quote-giver) Shane Brennan insists that the conclusion of last year's cliff-hanger in the Season 5 premiere "will have the greatest consequence of any story we've told." So what does that mean exactly? Although it's safe to assume that Sam and Deeks will escape torture, their emotional scars won't heal instantly. In fact, the post-traumatic stress will be too much for somebody to bear. "This season, someone will leave the team," Brennan reports. Guesses?

Do you have more details on Regina's love interest on Once Upon a Time? ? Micah
NATALIE: We'll meet her love interest very early on in the season, which presumably means that he or she hails from Neverland. "It's a side of the character of Regina we've only touched upon in the first two seasons," executive producer Adam Horowitz says. "We're excited to see more of that and more importantly to explore her capacity for love." Does anyone else think she could be paired with him?

Do you have any scoop on the final season of How I Met Your Mother? ? Evan
ADAM: The third episode, "The Broken Code," will address Ted's reawakened feelings for Robin after their moment in the rain. But don't get excited. "Ultimately, this is the story of Ted letting go of the wrong girl so he can be with the right girl," executive producer Carter Bays says. (Well, duh.) "There's a few secrets floating out there that we know of and there may be more that we don't know of. The fun thing about a wedding is that it's just not the time or place to air your dirty laundry. And yet there's a lot of dirty laundry, and it's about to come exploding out."

So excited that Jessica Lange and Sarah Paulson are playing mother and daughter on American Horror Story: Coven! ? Rachel
NATALIE: "Who doesn't want to be Jessica Lange's daughter?" jokes Paulson, who also played Laura Wingfield to Lange's Amanda in Broadway's Glass Menagerie. Unfortunately, this mother-daughter relationship is fraught with contention. "Our characters are very different kind of women and that's where the conflict comes, but I'm her child, so there's some question as to why I'm different," she says. And just wait until you meet Lange's new character Fiona. "She's not Constance from Season 1, actually," executive producer Tim Minear says. "She's much, much worse."

Got any Castle scoop that doesn't involve the proposal? What about Ryan's impending fatherhood? ? Gina
ADAM: The prospect of becoming a daddy will definitely affect Ryan's work this season. "You're going to see a lot of choices that Ryan is going to make [about] how he feels about being a cop at this point," Seamus Dever tells us. "We're going to see him be a little uncomfortable with being in the line of fire and being in danger's way. It's also going to affect his relationship with Esposito." Does this mean that the bromance could be over? "They're no longer single dudes," Dever says. "Ryan is like, 'I have to go home and see the wife. That's the way it is.'"

Any scoop on Revenge? ? Harold
NATALIE: Get ready for people to switch teams! After losing Emily to Daniel, Aiden seeks other allies. "That's what's interesting about Aiden this year; he's sleeping with the enemy a little bit!" Barry Sloane spilled to us. So who is he working with? "I've been working a lot with Madeleine [Stowe]," he teases. Ruh-roh.

Any new hints you can give us about the new season of Hawaii Five-0? ? Whitney
ADAM: ?Although executive producer Peter Lenkov hints that we won't see Mama McGarrett in the early part of the season, he insists that we will get answers regarding her mysterious past with Wo Fat. Doris' absence also won't stop us from meeting more McGarretts: Recently announced guest star Carol Burnett will play McGarrett's aunt, who comes to Oahu with a secret plan to reunite the entire clan for Thanksgiving. As for the rest of Five-0 family, Danny's relationship with Autumn Reeser's Gabrielle may once again be over before it starts. "I can tell you that their relationship will hit a bump," Lenkov says. "And in a way, Danny's daughter Grace will be that bump."

Thanks for the Scandal scoop. What else can you tease? ? Jessie
NATALIE: While Olivia and her associates are dealing with the fallout of Mistress-gate, a flashback within the first two episodes will likely shed light on those illicit, pre-election days, Darby Stanchfield says. "We find out answers to things we thought we already knew, but they're totally not like you think," she says.

I'd love some spoilers for the CSI premiere. ? Shawn
ADAM: You might want to grab some hankies. Although this year's first episode once again deals with the team searching for a kidnapped loved one, executive producer Don McGill warns fans to prepare for a less rosy outcome than a year ago. "A person close to the CSI family will die," he reports. "The first image of the premiere is a memorial service. If fans look closely, they will notice some faces missing. So the question is: Who's in the casket?" Although McGill says that everyone on the team is touched by the loss, look for D.B. Russell to take it particularly hard. "He's in crisis by the end; he feels responsible," McGill says. "The decisions he made, he really will have to pay for. We'll see as the season progresses that there may be some questioning of his purpose."

How will Leslie Knope deal with Ann leaving on Parks and Recreation? ? Jonah
NATALIE: Not well! "It doesn't take long for the news to get to Leslie," executive producer Mike Schur says. "When Ann makes the decision, the first thing she does is tell Leslie because she knows it's going to be a thing. Leslie is in the middle of trying to manage a very large thing and she basically spirals super-hard and ends up taking out her feelings ? instead of talking to Ann about the issue ? on a bunch of people for no good reason."

What can you tell me about the upcoming season of Sons of Anarchy? ? Frank
ADAM: This season's major antagonist, Donal Logue's former U.S. Marshal Lee Toric, proves how formidable he can be in the premiere when he attempts to turn an incarcerated Clay against the club. (Unfortunately for Jax & Co., Clay finds Toric's offer to be plenty tempting.) Meanwhile, Tara will take a very "hands-on," do-it-yourself approach to surviving her time in the Big House. And if you think Tara being in jail is the biggest threat to her relationship with Jax, think again.

Natalie's Mega Rave: It's awesome to see Sookie take control of her destiny on True Blood, but it's even better to see her not take sh-- from anyone, especially Billith.

Adam's Mini Rant: I know Grace Gummer is cute and all, but does The Newsroom really expect us to believe Jim would give her his long-sought-after interview with Romney?

Can 'smart' turbines give renewables a second wind?

New 'smart' wind turbines combine improved blade designs with batteries that can store electricity when the wind isn't blowing.?

By Charles Kennedy,?Guest blogger / August 7, 2013

A wind turbine is shown near Arlington, Ore. 'Smart' wind turbines use improved blade designs that allow an increase of 20-24 percent in power.

Renewable energy is slowly catching up to fossil fuels and becoming more competitive, but it still faces the same challenges as ever. The fact that the sun doesn?t always shine, the wind doesn?t always blow, and few systems can efficiently cope with the fluctuating energy demand placed upon them.

Critics view these points as proof that renewable energy has no future, whereas advocates view them as challenges that must be overcome.

Many different techniques have been tested to try and smooth out the varying generating levels that clean energy sources produce, mainly some form of energy storage system, but none has yet managed to provide an adequate solution. (Related article:?Airborne Wind Turbines Continue to Advance)

An exciting, new wind turbine produced by GE, shows hope as a potential solution to the constant problems that afflict the wind energy sector. The?1.6-100 and 1.7-100 wind turbines?boast the ability of generating far more electricity when wind speeds are minimal, store excess energy for use in the future, and has a smart system that can analyse when more energy will be needed, and when the wind should blow.?

Anti-smoking battle moves outdoors; bans increase

ATLANTA (AP) ? First it was bars, restaurants and office buildings. Now the front lines of the "No Smoking" battle have moved outdoors.

City parks, public beaches, college campuses and other outdoor venues across the country are putting up signs telling smokers they can't light up. Outdoor smoking bans have nearly doubled in the last five years, with the tally now at nearly 2,600 and more are in the works.

But some experts question the main rationale for the bans, saying there's not good medical evidence that cigarette smoke outdoors can harm the health of children and other passers-by.

Whether it is a long-term health issue for a lot of people "is still up in the air," said Neil Klepeis, a Stanford University researcher whose work is cited by advocates of outdoor bans.

Ronald Bayer, a Columbia University professor, put it in even starker terms.

"The evidence of a risk to people in open-air settings is flimsy," he said.

There are hundreds of studies linking indoor secondhand smoke to health problems like heart disease. That research has bolstered city laws and workplace rules that now impose smoking bans in nearly half of the nation's bars, restaurants and workplaces.

In contrast, there's been little study of the potential dangers of whiffing secondhand smoke while in the open air. But that hasn't stopped outdoor bans from taking off in the last five years. The rules can apply to playgrounds, zoos, beaches and ball fields, as well as outdoor dining patios, bus stops and building doorways.

"Secondhand smoke is harmful. It's particularly harmful to children," said Councilwoman Mary Cheh of the District of Columbia, one of more than 90 U.S. municipalities or counties considering an outdoor smoking law.

But is it really dangerous outdoors?

Federal health officials say yes. Studies have clearly established that even a brief exposure indoors to cigarette smoke can cause blood to become sticky and more prone to clotting. How long that lasts after just one dose isn't clear, officials say. The best-known studies so far have measured only up to about a day afterward.

Repeated exposures are more dangerous, and can worsen your cholesterol, increase the odds of plaque building in arteries, and raise the risk of chest pain, weakness, or heart attack.

Health officials say there's no reason to think that can't happen from breathing in smoke outdoors.

"There's no risk-free level of secondhand smoke," said Brian King, an expert on secondhand smoke with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

However, it's hard to pin down the health effects of outdoor smoke. There have been some studies ? fewer than a dozen ? that tried to measure how much secondhand smoke can be found outdoors. Some have found levels that rival what people may breathe indoors, depending on which way the wind is blowing or whether there's an overhang or sheltered area that can trap smoke. One study detected significant fumes as far as 44 feet away from a smoker.

"If you can smell it, it's obviously there," said James Repace, a Maryland-based scientist-consultant who's done some of the outdoor studies.

Two small studies tested about two dozen nonsmokers at a smoky outdoor dining area in Athens, Ga. The saliva tests detected significant jumps in cotinine, a substance produced when the body metabolizes nicotine.

That doesn't mean it's causing chronic illness, though. Repace thinks only two kinds of people may face a serious health risk outdoors ? those with severe asthma and staff at outdoor cafes where smoking is allowed.

Indeed, health advocates in some places have focused on sites like sidewalk cafes, feeling they can't make the case for beaches or open-air parks.

"We only get involved where there's a real health risk," said Flory Doucas, co-director of Canada's Quebec Coalition for Tobacco Control.

Still, cigarette smoke in a place like a park can be a nuisance to some, just like loud music or dog waste.

That's how Roger Montiel of Atlanta views it.

"I don't really like the smell and I don't like it blowing in my face. If I'm enjoying a day at the park, I'd rather it not be part of that experience," he said while walking through a downtown park recently.

That's good enough reason for outdoor bans, Repace said. "People don't have to be dropping dead for you to regulate something," he said.

Well, not so fast, said Simon Chapman, an Australian researcher. He once won a prestigious American Cancer Society award for his anti-smoking efforts and formerly was editor of a medical journal focused on smoking's dangers. But in recent years he's become a vocal opponent to wide-ranging outdoor smoking bans.

He and Bayer worry such bans are really motivated by desires to make smoking seem like an unusual, socially unacceptable behavior. Ban proponents see that as a worthy goal; Chapman thinks it's a bad precedent.

"Next you might say 'Let's not just stop there. Let's not have people smoke anywhere they might be seen'" he said. "And then is it legitimate to say that any behavior that people don't like should be disapproved of because people might see it."

In Atlanta, a city council member decided to act after an encounter with a smoker in a park. A ban on smoking in the city's parks went into effect last summer. Technically, a violation could result in a fine of as much as $1,000. But ? as in other cities ? Atlanta officials have not arrested anyone.

"Enforcement generally has been someone says 'put that out,' and they put it out," said George Dusenbury, Atlanta's parks and recreation commissioner.

At Woodruff Park, a 6-acre downtown hangout, nearly a dozen smokers could be spotted in the park on a recent, sunny Friday morning. The regulars said they knew about the rules, but found ways to get around them.

"Smoke rises. I don't see a reason why it should bother other people out here," said Tommy Jackson, 55, lighting up with a friend at the edge of a paved footpath through the park.

Park worker Rufus Copeland said he's seen only a small drop in smoking since the green and white "Smoking Prohibited" signs went up last year. He steers smokers to the sidewalk rimming the park. But people still smoke. "It's hard," he said.

Brianna Mills, a 26-year-old nursing student from suburban Marietta, sat down for a quiet moment in the park with her Newports, unaware of the ban.

"It's supposed to be a free country," said Mills, who developed her habit 10 years ago. "It's like: 'Where can you smoke?'"

MIT's White Blood Cell Magnet Could Revolutionize Disease Diagnosis

To give you an idea of how micro this video is, those dots you see moving diagonally toward the top of the screen are individual white blood cells. What you're looking at is a microchip that sorts out white blood cells from a blood sample. It makes a great visual, but more importantly, it could seriously improve the way we diagnose disease.

Canada Python Attack: Uncle's Tribute To Boys

The uncle of two boys believed to have been killed by a python said they had a "super" last day as Canadian police revealed the snake was being kept in a second-floor flat, not the pet shop below.

A criminal investigation is under way after a 45kg African rock python escaped from its cage, went through a ventilation shaft and fell into the room where Noah Barthe, four, and his brother Connor, six, were sleeping.

In an emotional statement, their uncle David Rose said: "They were two typical children and enjoyed life to the maximum."

They had spent their last day playing with their friends, he said.

It was initially reported that the snake was being kept by family friend and owner Jean-Claude Savoie on the ground floor of the Reptile Ocean pet shop in the town of Campbellton, New Brunswick.

But police said it was kept in a second-floor flat in a specially built enclosure which stretched to the ceiling.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police spokesman Sergeant Alain Tremblay said: "The snake was confined in an enclosed area, a glass cage of pretty large size given the size of the snake and the way the investigators believe the snake escaped was through the ceiling.

"Just above the cage where the snake was being kept, the snake apparently slithered through a hole or vent in the ceiling allowing it to escape into the ventilation shaft.

"Once the snake was at the height of the living room, apparently a pipe broke and the snake fell into the living room where the children were sleeping."

Pic: Facebook/ Mandy Trecartin

The children were at a sleepover at their best friend?s flat when they were apparently attacked by the snake early on Monday morning.

At a news conference, Mr Rose said Connor was due to celebrate his birthday this month.

"Connor would have entered the second grade this year and Noah was extremely excited to join his big brother by joining kindergarten and both would have been in the same Lord Beaverbrook School," he said.

An African rock python

"Their last day was spent playing with their friends in the backyard - they had a little pool, had a barbecue and later in the afternoon Jean-Claude Savoie took all the children shopping.

"Each had their own little carts, they filled their carts with treats and after the shopping trip the two families Jean-Claude?s family went to Jean-Claude?s family?s farm - there they played with llamas and goats and horses.

Google Street View of python attack scene

"They played with dogs and cats in the hayloft and went for a ride in the farm tractor with Jean-Claude who even let them steer their tractors so it was a super day.

"And after a long day late into night they got home, home for the sleepover at Jean-Claude?s house and the two families stayed together until midnight and that?s the type of the life they had and that?s what we are going to try and remember."

The python, which Mr Savoie has had for at least 10 years, had been kept alone in its enclosure and was not handled by anyone else, he added.

Police said the snake has been killed by a veterinarian.
