Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin drifted onto the field with his back turned to the play in the third quarter Thursday night, narrowly avoiding a collision with Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones during a long kickoff return.
The bizarre sequence during the 73-yard return sparked a controversy and angered the fans at M&T Bank Stadium as the Ravens wound up settling for a field goal during the 22-20 victory.
Although Tomlin wasn't penalized for sideline interference as he jumped out of the way at the last second to avoid blocking Jones' path, Jones did appear to have to adjust to his direction. The Pro Bowl kick returner immediately complained after being tackled by cornerback Cortez Allen and pointed a finger at the Steelers' bench.
"Mike Tomlin stopped us one time," said quarterback Joe Flacco while discussing the Ravens' missed opportunities on offense. "I took some flak kind of joking around at the Super Bowl saying that I was going to run out onto the field and tackle somebody if this guy breaks it. I caught some flak for that; that's exactly what he just did. He was looking at the big screen the whole entire time. He knew where he was. He knew where Jacoby was. He pulled my move."
After the game, Tomlin said he didn't feel that he interfered with the play while acknowledging that he shouldn't have been on the field of play.
"I always watch the returns on the JumboTron; it provides a better perspective for me," Tomlin said. "I lost my placement as he broke free and saw at the last second how close I was to the field of play.
"... I do it quite often, like everybody else in the National Football League. I was wrong, I accept responsibility."
Jones didn't blame the coach for costing him a touchdown.
"As soon as I hit the hole and I was running down the sideline, I was looking at him the whole time like, 'Is he going to move?'" Jones said. "Literally, I was thinking, 'Is he going to move?' I just weaved out of the way. I broke my stride a little bit but I still should not have gotten caught. I would have done the same thing if I was him. ...
"Before I got to him, he was halfway on the field. He gave me a little juke, and I tried to juke him. It is what it is. He was on the field."
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said jokingly about Tomlin: "I was wondering, 'Did they credit him with the tackle on that?' That stuff happens."
Aware that he was in the spotlight with all of the instant replays being shown, Tomlin eventually broke into a big smile.
"It was pretty funny to see him smiling about it afterwards," wide receiver Torrey Smith said. "He was watching it on the screen. I don't know if he did it on purpose. They fine people for doing anything in this league. It definitely threw Jacoby off and cost us some points."
Former NFL vice president of officiating Mike Pereira, now a Fox analyst, wrote on Twitter that the play deserved a penalty.
"I do think Tomlin should have been flagged," Pereira wrote. "Official didn't run into him but he is watching the game on the jumbotron and is in the way. If they would have called the foul on Tomlin, they would have assessed 15 yards from the end of the run. Would not have awarded TD."
Smith dominates Taylor
Smith has struggled in the past against outspoken Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor, having trouble escaping from his aggressive brand of press coverage.
The former Maryland standout delivered a strong rebuttal Thursday, manufacturing his most productive game ever against the veteran defensive back.
Smith kept sprinting past Taylor, beating him for a 54-yard reception in the first quarter that set up his 7-yard touchdown two plays later in the back of the end zone. Smith had six catches for 93 yards, also drawing a 26-yard pass interference penalty in the second quarter.
"He's a great corner," Smith said. "I should have had a great day. I did all right. I didn't make enough plays. Anytime you get to go against a guy of his caliber and do OK, it says something. ...

Is There A Place For Topical NSAIDs In Podiatric Sports Medicine?
Musculoskeletal injuries are one of the most common, if not the most common, condition we see in podiatric sports medicine practices. While the injuries can be acute or chronic, there are multiple treatment modalities podiatrists can use to resolve the condition and return the athlete to sport. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most common prescribed medications and are a cornerstone in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain management. They are well known for their analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties, but they also known for adverse effects, specifically cardiovascular risk and gastrointestinal toxicity.

Orthotics Are Not Biomechanics
Over the past quarter century of lecturing at national and international seminars on the topics of foot and lower extremity biomechanics, foot orthotic therapy and sports injuries, I have had the pleasure to meet many podiatrists who share my interest in these subjects. We understand that since biomechanics is the science that examines the forces acting upon and within a biological structure and the effects produced by such forces, we will be able to more effectively help our patients who suffer from pain and dysfunction within their feet and lower extremities if we gain a better comprehension of foot biomechanics.

Clear Channel Changes Name
Clear Channel Rebrands As iHeartMedia. The company has a new name, effective today. Other company brands, such as iHeartRadio, Premiere Networks, and Katz Media Group, will retain their names
Another name change for Clear Channel. It was about two years ago when the company dumped "Radio" for Clear Channel Media and Entertainment. On Tuesday, just a few days before the 4th annual iHeartRadio Music Festival in Vegas, the company will now be known as the much shorter iHeartMedia. In announcing the new name, CEO Bob Pittman said, "iHeartMedia reflects our commitment to being the media company that provides the most entertainment to the most engaged audiences wherever they go, with more content and more events in more places on more devices."
The Los Angeles Times chimes in on this change.

Moonves: CBS May Sell Radio Stations. As CBS Radio CEO and President Dan Mason was talking content with Bob Pittman to several hundred radio people in Indianapolis, his boss was on Cable TV talking about dumping some of his radio stations. In a wide-ranging interview on CNBC Thursday, CBS Corp. CEO Les Moonves said he might try to "trim down" the CBS stable of 127 radio stations, "in that some of our radio stations aren't in major markets." He added, "We still believe in radio," but called it a "slow growth" business. "You might see a reduction in the number of radio stations that we have," Moonves said, but he didn't give any specifics or timetable.

Study Finds Cord Cutting on the Rise. According to a new research report from Frank N. Magid Associates, consumer intent to cut the cord and drop pay TV is up. 2.9% of pay-TV subscribers say they are �very likely� to cancel their service in the year ahead, up from 2.7% last year and 2.2% two years ago. Why This Matters: Though the percentage of people getting video content from broadband is still small, cord cutting worries the TV industry. The number of pay-TV subscribers dropped last year and the trend could accelerate as more content goes on line and mobile devices become more powerful and popular

Dodger games, which have aired this year on new net SportsNet LA, have been off various MVPDs in the area unwilling to agree to the regional sports net's carriage terms. Why This Matters: The move is an effort by TWC to drum up some good PR with the local fans, as roughly 70% of the Los Angeles area has been shut out from watching Dodgers games all season.

Is Television 'A Woman's Medium'?
UHF spectrum may be repurposed
CBS' Ianniello: 'Nothing in Showtime's pay-TV contracts says we can't go OTT'. While the tech blogs breathlessly wait for HBO to announce that it's ditching bundled pay-TV services and offering its programming via a la carte streaming, its smaller premium cable rival, Showtime, seems to be closer to actually doing just that.
Local Choice now part of Senate's satellite reauthorization bill. The Senate version of satellite reauthorization will indeed include Local Choice, a controversial Commerce Committee proposal that essentially strips broadcast channels out of the pay-TV bundle.
Local Choice pulled from Senate bill. Fearing that their Local Choice proposal is too ambitious for full Congressional approval on a short timeline, the proposal's creators, Sens. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) and John Thune (R-S.D.), have pulled it out of the Senate Commerce Committee's satellite-TV bill. Why This Matters: The bill was applauded by cable and satellite companies but abhorred by broadcasters. It would have given cable subscribers a-la-carte options on local broadcast stations with no such opportunity to choose among competing cable channels.
LA TV stations free up airwaves for wireless broadband. Two local TV stations will consolidate onto a single channel, freeing up space for new wireless broadband services. Two TV stations in Los Angeles, KLCS and KCET, have agreed to share a single frequency to deliver their programming, freeing up a channel that can be auctioned off to wireless carriers next year. L.A.-based non-commercial stations KLCS and KCET have agreed to share a 6 MHz channel so that the other can be offered up in next year�s spectrum incentive auction. Both stations will continue to operate under noncommercial licenses, and be afforded the same interference protections as non-shared licensees, according to Federal Communications Commission rules. Why This Matters: The move comes after a closely watched sharing test earlier this year between KLCS � a PBS station � and Spanish-language KJLA. The test determined that the two stations could successfully share signal with minimal disruption.
The inside story on how Local Choice got pulled from STAVRA. So why did a bipartisan proposal to do away with retransmission and strip broadcast stations from the pay-TV bundle get removed from the satellite bill being run through the Senate Commerce Committee? According to the two U.S. Senators who came up with the plan, opposition from other committee members led to the decision to scuttle inclusion of the language in the bill.
Moonves to stations: Get more retrans money out of pay-TV operators or else. No wonder CBS sucks! Seemingly oblivious to the fact that a proposal that would end broadcast-retransmission payments nearly made it onto a Senate bill, CBS Corp. president Les Moonves urged TV stations to get tough with pay-TV operators during retrans negotiations.

Why is the NFL still blacking out games?. By John McCain and Richard Blumenthal, (CNN). This weekend marks the kickoff of what millions of Americans have been looking forward to since the final minutes of Seattle's Super Bowl victory in early February � another football season. But one thing fans should never have to worry about is whether or not this week's game will be impossible to watch due to a TV blackout
FCC chairman: Sack the NFL's blackout rule. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said the so-called �sports blackout� rule is obsolete and needs to go, in a USA Today editorial Tuesday. Wheeler said he will schedule a vote Sept. 30 on getting rid of the rules. Without the rules, the NFL can still write those blackouts into their contracts, but Wheeler says the FCC is not going to play along. "Today, we are blowing the whistle on this anti-fan practice," he said. Why This Matters: Wheeler�s comments come at a time when the league has faced major pushback on the blackout rule. Last year all FCC commissioners voted to scrap the rules.

Local Choice fight ramps up as CBS refuses to run ATVA ads. CBS Radio will not run the American Television Alliance's new spot plugging the Senate Commerce Committee's "Local Choice" proposal. The refusal to air the low-budget campaign is not a shocker, given that--should it become law--Local Choice would dispense with broadcast retransmission fees and employ a system of pay-TV compensation that would likely be far less profitable to broadcasters. The proposal essentially breaks down this way: Pay-TV operators would make every local broadcast channel available to subscribers, who would then choose which stations they'd like to receive. Payments would be made directly from consumers to broadcasters, and retrans would go away.

HD RADIO CAN BE SAVED. That's according to former broadcaster Matt Sammon, who is now the Director of broadcasting and programming for the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning. In a blog on Tumblr, Sammon offers up 5 reasons why HD Radio has failed, and 5 reasons "why it can rise from the ashes." As far as why it has failed, Sammon says there is a lot of confusion with consumers about the extra channels, there is a lack of serious promotion, radio did not copy the Apple way of selling its new product, the economy tanked and the connected car and affordable wi-fi have given consumers easier access to more choices. So, how does Sammon believe the technology can still survive?

Tuks lock heading to England
Worcester Warriors have announced the arrival of athletic lock forward Mike Williams at Sixways from South Africa.
Williams, a powerful ball carrier and superb line-out technician, captained the Sharks at age-group level in South Africa before deciding to further his career with Tuks and the Pretoria based Blue Bulls.
The 21-year-old, born in Bulawayo but English qualified, stands 6ft 5in tall, weighs 17st 9lbs and can operate in the second row or back row.
Williams, who has enjoyed an outstanding 2013 Varsity Cup campaign with Tuks - winning Man of the Match in the semi-final against UJ - will move to England on a two-year deal.
Head Coach Richard Hill described Williams as a massive prospect for Warriors who would add yet more power to the pack at Sixways.
"Mike is primarily a lock who has the ability to play at six and is a young player who excites us," said Hill. "He is an athletic and big man, who is also English qualified, and was keen to make an impression in this country when he came to visit us earlier this month.
"Mike has been part of a strong rugby set-up in South Africa and has real potential to get even better as part of the Warriors."
Williams joins Ignacio Mieres, Leonardo Senatore, Agustin Creevy, Paul Warwick, Paul Andrew and Ofa Fainga'anuku in agreeing moves to Sixways.

Parasitic Flatworm Could Be
Major Threat to Coral Reefs, Scientists Say
A coral-eating flatworm with a unique camouflaging strategy could be a major threat to the world's coral reefs,
according to
researchers in the U.K. The parasite, called
Amakusaplana acroporae
, infects a type of staghorn coral known as acropora, a major component
Amakusaplana acroporae
, a parasitic coral flatworm
of reefs, and can destroy its coral host very quickly. The parasite has been detected at the Great Barrier Reef, and because it has no known natural predators, researchers are concerned it could spread quickly and decimate reefs worldwide. A novel camouflaging strategy makes the flatworm difficult to detect and monitor, the researchers say. When eating the coral tissue, the worm also ingests the coral's symbiotic algae. Instead of digesting the algae completely, the worm keeps a fraction of them alive and distributes them, along with the fluorescent pigments that give coral its characteristic hue, throughout its gut so that it perfectly mimics the appearance of the coral. The parasite has been identified in numerous aquarium-based corals, and biologists worry that it could spread rapidly if aquarium-raised coral, fish, or seaweed are introduced to natural reef environments.

'Living Fences' Dramatically
Cut Livestock and Lion Killings in Tanzania
A novel, low-tech idea is helping Tanzania's lion population rebound: So-called "living fences" — which enclose livestock and are constructed of actively growing trees and chain-link fencing — have cut lion

attacks and retaliatory killings by more than 85 percent in the areas they've been installed,
the Guardian reports
. Traditionally, the Masai have built livestock enclosures out of thorny acacia trees, but those fences are relatively fragile. Chain-link fencing alone is more durable, but leopards and small lions can scale the fences, and hyenas can tunnel in below. By interweaving actively growing African myrrh trees with the chain link fencing, the Masai have created a barrier that lions can't climb over, and their root systems prevent predators from digging under the fence. Because livestock predation has been cut, communities that had been killing six or seven lions annually now kill, on average, less than one, leading to a rebound in lion populations.
A Personal Note on Peter Matthiessen,
Who Wrote Eloquently of the Natural World
For an editor, the prospect of working with Peter Matthiessen was intimidating. He was one of our finest writers, and he wrote with such poetic precision and lyrical grace that at first it felt presumptuous to propose
Peter Matthiessen
any changes to his writing at all. That feeling was heightened by his strong physical presence — an odd mix of Manhattan patrician, rugged outdoorsman, and Zen priest (all of which he was). And yet when I worked as his editor on several magazine articles in the 1990s, it was an immensely satisfying experience. He listened Zen-like, carefully considering all my editing suggestions (with him, they were
only), and to my delight, accepted almost all of them. Matthiessen died on April 5 at the age of 86, near the Long Island waters he so loved to fish.

Newfound Atmospheric 'Hole'
Threatens Polar Ozone Layer, Scientists Say
have discovered
a large opening in the Earth's atmosphere that is enabling pollutants to rise
Pacific atmosphere hole an elevator to the stratosphere
into the stratosphere and destroy ozone. The hole, which is in a part of the lower atmosphere called the "OH shield," is several thousand kilometers long and is centered over the tropical west Pacific Ocean. It's relatively close to Southeast Asia, a region with a booming population and rapidly increasing air pollution. The hole is a major concern because the OH shield usually scrubs air of chemical compounds emitted near the ground before they can reach the stratosphere, where those compounds can persist for long periods of time, reacting with and destroying ozone, say researchers at Germany's Alfred Wegener Institute who identified the hole. The newly discovered phenomenon acts as a sort of elevator, researchers say, drawing chlorofluorocarbons, sulfur dioxide, and other contaminants straight up to the stratosphere and bypassing the OH shield scrub.

Solar Panels Could Beam Power
From Space Down to Earth, U.S. Navy Says
Researchers from the U.S. military are developing technology that would harvest solar energy in space and beam it down to Earth,
according to
the Naval Research Laboratory. Although the concept seems futuristic, the
Navy is currently testing two prototype designs, both of which combine solar panels with electronic components that convert the energy to radio waves and transmit it to Earth. Eventually, engineers plan to use robotic vehicles to transport the panels to space and assemble them into a 1-kilometer wide satellite orbiting the planet. Theoretically, harvesting solar energy in space is more efficient than on Earth, because panels can collect sunlight around the clock and regardless of weather conditions. The U.S. military, currently the world's largest oil consumer, is eager to develop the technology to save money on fuel and simplify military deployments. But the private sector also has plans for the technology: California utility company Pacific Gas & Electric plans to buy space solar power by 2016.

Deforestation of Sandy Soils
Increases the Release of CO2, Study Finds
The texture of the soil that microbes live in determines how much carbon they release after deforestation, with sandy soils sending the most carbon into the atmosphere,
according to research
led by Yale scientists.
Soils most affected by forest loss in red; least in yellow.
Subterranean microbes regulate carbon emissions from soil, and drastic changes to the microbial community, such as those that follow deforestation, can allow more CO2 to escape into the atmosphere and exacerbate global warming. The texture of soil, rather than such factors as temperature or nutrient concentrations, was the most important factor governing the release of CO2, the researchers found. Muddy, clay-like soils provide the most stable environment for microbial communities, likely because they're better at retaining nutrients than loose, sandy soils. The team used the findings to map areas in the U.S. where soil microbial communities would be most and least affected by deforestation, which could help inform land management practices.
Comment: e360 Point/Counterpoint Debate
On University Fossil Fuel Divestment
Scientists Charles H. Greene, of Cornell University, and Daniel M. Kammen, of the University of California, Berkeley, offer commentary on the recent

Student protest at Tufts University last spring
issue of whether universities should take a stand against climate change by divesting from companies that produce oil, natural gas, or coal. Greene and Kammen make the case that the movement to divest is gaining ground on U.S. campuses and will eventually succeed because fossil fuels are increasingly seen as a potentially risky investment. "We predict that divestment at the nation's colleges and universities will occur much more rapidly than anybody imagined at the start of the campaign just over a year ago," they write.

The William Penn Foundation, working with nonprofit groups such as The Open Space Institute, says its Delaware River Initiative will protect more than 30,000 acres of land, launch 40 restoration projects, create incentives for businesses and landowners to protect the watershed, and set up a comprehensive program of water quality monitoring that will enable the foundation and its partners to measure the success of their programs and the overall health of the river. A cornerstone of the foundation's initiative will be its restoration and protection work in eight so-called "sub-watersheds" that feed into the Delaware River.

IPCC Issues Stark Report
On Present and Future Climate Impacts
Rapidly rising levels of greenhouse gases are already having a major impact on the earth's natural systems and the problem is
likely to grow significantly worse
unless these emissions are brought under control, according to a new report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The
, released in Yokohama, Japan, said that steadily rising temperatures are melting polar ice caps, sharply diminishing Arctic sea ice, intensifying heat waves and heavy rains, causing the death of coral reefs, and placing water and food supplies under stress. The report on climate impacts, drafted by several hundred of the world's leading climate scientists, emphasized that the world's food supply is at considerable risk. Already, the report said, heat waves and water stress are affecting the output of wheat and corn on a global scale, impacts that are only expected to intensify in the future, further exacerbating food shortages. "Nobody on this planet is going to be untouched by the impacts of climate change," said IPCC chairman Rajendra K. Pachauri.

West Antarctic Glacial Loss
Is Rapidly Intensifying, New Study Shows
Six massive glaciers in West Antarctica are dumping far more ice into the Southern Ocean than they were 40

10 percent of the world's sea level rise
, according to a new study. Reporting in
Geophysical Research Letters
, an international team of scientists said that the amount of ice draining from the six glaciers has increased by 77 percent since 1973. The scientists said that the ice loss from the six glaciers is so substantial that it equals the amount of ice draining annually from the entire Greenland Ice Sheet. The scientists used satellite data from 1973 and 2013 to gauge the ice loss from the six glaciers. The
Pine Island Glacier
is moving more rapidly to the sea than any of the other six, with its speed increasing from 1.5 miles per year in 1973 to 2.5 miles per year in 2013. The glaciers are dumping more ice into the sea primarily because warmer ocean waters are loosening the ice sheets' hold on the sea floor, which speeds up glacial flow.

The company recently announced a $1.3 million demonstration project in Alaska that will supply power to about a dozen homes. Altaeros says it is also working on deals to install projects in remote locations in Canada and Australia. The BAT, made of industrial fabric, sends power back via high-strength tethers that hold it to the ground. Altaeros is one of several companies developing wind turbines that hover above the earth or fly, including

The satellite, called the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory, combines two powerful instruments that allow scientists to monitor precipitation around the globe in great detail, as the cyclone image demonstrates. One instrument, the Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar, captured a three-dimensional cross-section of the storm, with the heaviest precipitation shown in red and yellow. The second tool, a GPM Microwave Imager, observed different types of precipitation across a broad swath of the storm. Together, the instruments will help scientists more accurately predict rainfall and calculate how much precipitation falls to the Earth's surface.

Consumer Products Giants
Commit to Deforestation-Free Palm Oil
Two major consumer products companies — General Mills and Colgate-Palmolive —
have committed
to using palm oil in their products that does not come from lands cleared from tropical forests, adding to the wave
of corporations that have pledged measures to protect southeast Asian rainforests. The consumer giants' new policies go beyond standards set by the industry's main certification body and include provisions to protect wildlife-rich rainforests, carbon-dense peatlands, and the rights of local communities. Environmental groups are welcoming the commitments, though some believe the companies' pledges should go further. The Union of Concerned Scientists questions General Mills' definition of "high carbon stock" forests, while Greenpeace is urging Colgate-Palmolive to move implementation up to 2015 from 2020. Environmental groups are hopeful that new commitments will pressure Proctor & Gamble, the last remaining consumer products giant without a similar pledge, to adopt deforestation-free palm oil policies.
Five Questions for Mario Molina

, uses data from 170 million trips made by New York City's 13,500 taxis in 2011. High-resolution GPS coordinates and timestamps for each trip allowed researchers to pinpoint locations in the city that are high-traffic hubs for taxi pick-ups and drop-offs, as well as calculate fare savings, decreases in total miles traveled, and cuts in CO2 emissions if ride-sharing existed. The researchers found that taxi-sharing could reduce the number of trips by 40 percent with only minimal inconvenience to the passengers. The findings highlight the potential benefits of ride-sharing in New York and other cities, including lower vehicle emissions, reduced congestion, and savings in time and money.

Koch Brothers Biggest Lease
Holders in Alberta Tar Sands, Report Finds
The largest lease holder in Canada's oil sands is a
subsidiary of Koch Industries
, the conglomerate that is the source of the fortune owned by the controversial conservative political donors, Charles and David Koch. The Koch's holdings in the tar sands were disclosed by
an activist group
that analyzed mineral records of the Alberta government. The Koch subsidiary holds leases on at least 1.1 million acres in the northern Alberta oil sands, which span roughly 35 million acres; other industry experts estimate the total Koch holdings could be closer to 2 million acres. That puts Koch Industries ahead of energy heavyweights Royal Dutch Shell and Conoco Phillips, both of which lease significant acreage in the oil sands. The findings are likely to inflame the debate surrounding the proposed Keystone XL pipeline — which would transport tar sands oil to refineries in Texas — although the Koch's company has not reserved space in the pipeline. Activists argue that the Kochs do have a stake in the outcome of the Keystone XL battle because the pipeline would drive down crude oil transportation costs, benefiting all lease holders.

But the western U.S. and Alaska saw unusually warm weather, with California experiencing its hottest winter on record. Overall, temperatures this past winter in the U.S. were about 1 degree F above average. Meanwhile, temperatures in Russia, Asia, and much of Europe were well above average this winter, and land temperatures globally for December, January, and February were the 10th warmest on record.

CO2 Levels Have Crossed
400 ppm Threshold Far Earlier This Year
Concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have reached the 400 parts per million threshold two months earlier this year than last, an indication that the planet will soon experience the 400 ppm level year-round,
according to
scientists from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. Last year was the first time in hundreds of thousands of years that the 400 ppm threshold was crossed. Scripps
scientists expect
CO2 levels to hover around 400 ppm for the next two months, when the Northern Hemisphere spring will go into full bloom and plants will suck CO2 from the atmosphere until going dormant in the fall. "It's just a matter of time before it stays over 400 forever," said Ralph Keeling, who took over the CO2 monitoring program from his father, Charles David Keeling, who started it in 1958. Since then, atmospheric CO2 levels have risen steadily from 313 ppm as the world continues to burn fossil fuels. Scientists estimate it's been 800,000 to 15 million years since the planet has seen concentrations this high.

Wildflower Season in Rockies
Is 35 Days Longer as Climate Warms
A warming climate has extended the wildflower season in the Rocky Mountains
by 35 days since the 1970s,
according to a 39-year study of more than two million blooms. The bloom season, which used to run from late May to early September, now lasts from late April to late

September, the researchers say. Previous, less extensive studies seemed to indicate most wildflowers simply shift their bloom cycles to earlier in the year, but
new findings
published in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
show that the changes are more complex, with the flowers reaching peak bloom sooner and flowering later in the year. The shift in the timing of blooms could have a major impact on pollinating insects and migratory birds. For example, hummingbirds that summer in the Rocky Mountains time their nesting so that their eggs hatch at peak bloom, when there is plenty of flower nectar for hungry chicks. As the bloom season lengthens, the plants are not producing more flowers. The same number of blooms is spread out over more days, so at peak bloom there may be fewer flowers and less food for hummingbirds, the researchers say.

from the U.S. and Denmark. The finding will likely boost estimates of global sea level rise, which had previously not accounted for massive ice loss from that region, scientists say. The Zachariae ice stream in northeast Greenland, which drains 16 percent of the ice sheet, has retreated roughly 12.4 miles in the past decade, outpacing the fast-moving Jakobshavn glacier, which has retreated 21.7 miles over the last 150 years. Ice loss from the region is likely accelerating, the researchers say, because ice dams in nearby bays that had been blocking the glaciers' paths are now also melting, freeing the way for the glaciers to flow into the ocean.

York. Solar City will station salespeople in 60 stores throughout those states to pitch the benefits of their 20-year solar contracts directly to consumers, and Best Buy will take a cut of the sales. Based on a homeowner's utility company and monthly electric bill, Solar City representatives will be able to quickly give potential customers an estimate of the costs and savings associated with a solar lease. Leasing enables a homeowner to avoid the large upfront costs associated with purchasing and installing solar panels by spreading those investments over a 20-year lease and locking in a set rate for electricity generated by the panels. Residential solar installations have accelerated in recent years due largely to the popularity of leasing programs, with 2013 showing the fastest growth ever.

Nine Chinese Cities Outpaced
Beijing in Air Pollution in 2013, Report Says
China's air pollution problems are more severe and widespread than previously thought, with nine cities experiencing more days of extreme air pollution than Beijing in 2013,
according to
a new analysis by Greenpeace's Energy Desk. Fine particulate (PM2.5) pollution plagued dozens of cities and millions of people in China — most of them outside of Beijing, although the Chinese capital captured the most air pollution headlines last year. The city of Xingtai, southwest of the capital, fared worst, with 129 days of emergency air pollution — more than doubling Beijing's 60 days. More than half of the cities in the top 10 are in Hebei province south of Beijing, where many steel, cement, and coal-fired power plants are located. "There are now millions of Chinese people living in cities with air pollution above emergency levels for a third of the year, while other urban areas have gone a whole 12-month period with hardly any days of good-quality air," said a member of Greenpeace's East Asia climate and energy campaign. Beijing had only 13 days ranked as "good" on the U.S. air quality scale, along with one day considered "beyond index," or off the pollution scale.

. The company has developed a new

type of wind tower, dubbed the "Space Frame Tower," consisting of metal latticework wrapped in weather-resistant fiberglass. Unlike conventional steel tube wind towers, the latticework can be bolted together on-site, which means the tower's framework can be transported using standard shipping containers and trucks, allowing taller wind towers to be installed in locations previously inaccessible to the longer trucks needed to transport conventional towers. The Space Frame Tower also has a five-leg base that's wider than conventional towers, increasing stability and ultimately allowing it to reach heights up to 450 feet — an advantage at sites where higher turbines can reach stronger winds. A 318-foot tall prototype is up and running in Tehachapi, California, with a 2.75 megawatt turbine nearly 400 feet wide.

Arsenic Remediation Project
Will Begin Decontaminating Water in India
New technology that removes arsenic from drinking water is set to be deployed on a large scale in India,
according to
researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and an India-based water technology company. The device removes arsenic by passing electricity through steel plates submerged in a water reservoir. The electric current causes the plates to rust more quickly than they would under normal conditions, and the rust chemically binds to arsenic in the water and sinks to the bottom of the reservoir. The precipitated sludge can be removed from the tank, rendering the water safe to drink. Notoriously high levels of arsenic, a tasteless and odorless contaminant, naturally occur in groundwater sources in India, Bangladesh, and even California's Central Valley. Long-term exposure can cause cancer and severe damage to organs. A commercial plant is set to begin operations in West Bengal, India, this year and researchers estimate the drinking water can be sold for as little as eight cents per gallon.

The rapid growth of car-sharing programs has cut the number of vehicles on U.S. roads by more than half a million, according to
new research
by AlixPartners, a consultancy group with clients in the automotive industry. The trend will continue beyond 2020, the group projects, at which point 4 million people will be participating in car-sharing programs and 1.2 million fewer cars will be on the road. Of the 10 cities surveyed, residents of Boston, home of the Zipcar company, were most aware of car-sharing programs. Young people and, surprisingly, households with children were least likely to own their own cars, the survey said. Roughly half of the people who had tried car-sharing had already decided not to purchase or lease their own car, and did not plan to do so in the future. Rather than environmental concerns, nearly 60 percent of interviewees said cost and convenience led them to participate in car-sharing.

a wider climate impact as it creates more open water, which is darker than ice and absorbs more heat from sunlight. As these NASA images show, when water from Canada's Mackenzie River flowed into the Beaufort Sea in the summer of 2012, average surface temperature of the open water rose by 6.5 degrees C (11.7 degrees F) after the pulse of river water. Flow from the Mackenzie raised sea surface temperatures as far as 350 kilometers (217 miles) from the coast. The researchers note that river discharge is becoming an increasingly important contributor to melting Arctic sea ice because the volume and temperature of fresh water discharge is increasing as inland Arctic areas warm more each summer.

(Reuters) - JPMorgan's
A series of meetings to formulate the pay package turned heated at times, with vocal minority of directors wanting to keep Dimon's compensation largely flat, citing about $20 billion in fines the bank paid in the last year to federal authorities, the paper said, citing several executives briefed on the matter.
However, there were other directors who argued that Dimon should be rewarded for his stewardship of the bank during such a difficult period, according to the paper. (http://link.reuters.com/ner36v)
Details of the pay hike were not made public on Thursday, but could be disclosed in the coming days, possibly as soon as Friday, the newspaper said.
However, it is unlikely that Dimon will receive anything close to $23.1 million he got for 2011, when he was the highest-paid chief executive at a large bank, the paper said.
Last year, the bank's board slashed Dimon's pay by half to $11.5 million after failures in the bank's chief investment office that led to $6.2 billion in trading losses -- an incident widely known as "London Whale trades."
A JPMorgan spokesman declined to comment to the newspaper. The bank could not immediately be reached for comment by Reuters outside of regular U.S. business hours.

BIRDLAND – In high school, Curtis Lofton saw what his coach Jeff Myers was going through as his daughter was fighting leukemia.
Witnessing those family struggles have motivated Lofton to become involved in the Rally Foundation's inaugural Fashion Funds The Cure Atlanta at 6 p.m. today at Saks Fifth Avenue at Phipps Plaza.
Lofton has rounded up 16 Falcons to attend the event with the proceeds to benefit the Aflac Cancer Center & Blood Disorders Service of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta through the Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research.
"I tackle some of the toughest and meanest football players in the NFL, but that is nothing compared to what these kids tackle every day with cancer," said Lofton. "The mission of Rally has become so important to me, and I will continue to be involved with this event as it grows each year."
Tickets for the event are $100. Guests will have the opportunity to participate in both live and silent auctions while also enjoying a variety of food and drinks. Patron tickets are also available for $250 each and will allow guests to attend a VIP cocktail reception with Lofton and other local celebrities.

Definately a big positive, so early in his career too. I can't do anything but commend his humanitarian accomplishments. These are the kind of stars Atlanta wants. Talented with big hearts. It's no surprise why he stands out on the field and applies the same dedication off the field.

A healer in every home…..PART 2 of 3
The medical profession doesn't have a single drug that the blood-brain barrier doesn't put up a mounted defense against! (It's a good thing, since drugs are never assimilated, digested, and eliminated by the body as natural plant foods and medicinal extracts are. And they always have side effects. Some side effects we FEEL, some we don't.)
That's why my 16 certified coaches are training in MEDICINE CABINET MAKEOVER classes. We had one in Utah a week ago, and 100 people showed up. I LOVE the content of this class, so if you have the opportunity to attend, bring a notebook for a drink from a firehose, by my coaches and my amazing colleague Laura Jacobs.
I find, roughly, that 80 percent of health issues resolve with the whole-foods, plant-based diet I teach. But 20 percent of entrenched health issues remain.
That makes sense since we get ourselves in a world of hurt, if for decades we took antibiotics and other harmful drugs, and ate animals pumped full of steroids and antibiotics, ate gut-damaging genetically modified foods. Not to mention tens of thousands of chemicals we're exposed to—pesticides, dental practices, water, air, cosmetics. It's endless. The average baby has 273 chemicals in her umbilical cord at birth.
I've found people are frustrated with the monopoly that drugs and surgery has on our health care system.
People are hungry for ways to deal with blood sugar, headache, gastrointestinal distress, depressed metabolism, low libido, mood disorders, heartburn, inflammation, and so many other issues—that do not involve drugs.
Of course, most drugs are just scientists taking a naturally healing plant, and molecularly altering it. (Otherwise there is very little profit. You can patent only chemicals, not natural substances. You can't make a billion dollars with a non-patented substance. Plus, insurance won't cover it, if it's not a drug.)
So, science knows that plants heal. Hardy plants that have "survived as the fittest" have healed us, for thousands of years, across continents and generation. Can you apply a raw aloe vera stalk to a sunburn and deny its power?
There are 188 references in the Bible to essential oils. A single essential oil may have 200 to 800 constituents. The Amazon rainforest alone is host to countless plants that comprise the majority of what modern medicine utilizes for drugs.
My point is, it's a small, natural, logical step, once you've learned the power of a plant-based diet, to move towards using plants as self-directed medicine as well. And essential oils are ten times more powerful than herbs.
My coaches are training to do a free scan for you using the Zyto technology after they teach the Medicine Cabinet Makeover class. Humans are electrical organisms, and like EEG and EKG, the Compass software with the Zyto technology measures the energy meridians and determines where imbalances occur. The four-minute scan determines which essential oils your body needs to address those imbalances.
It's really cool—last time I scanned, the blend of oils called ELEVATION resolved virtually everything for me. I began diffusing it next to my computer as I work, and I can feel the energetic difference immediately. Another time, my body wanted GINGER essential oil, so I added it to my smoothie for a few days.
The amygdala is part of the brain's limbic system, and 20 years ago scientists discovered the only way to release emotional trauma stored there is with fragrance, the sense of smell, inhaled substances. Modern science, combined with ancient wisdom and experience, brings us essential oils with phenomenal power. Donna's melanoma dying and falling out…..Allison healing of brain cancer without any burning or poisoning….it's just the beginning of what you can learn to empower yourself to be the healer in your home.
Tomorrow I'll list our coaches, and what city they live in and areas they will cover. You can contact one if you want to help us as an apprentice: you'll do the scans, and learn to teach Medicine Cabinet Makeover and six other powerful classes to help our readers learn to own their own health.
There's an exciting way to join our mission and earn an impressive income, with this opportunity. At our classes, which currently average 200, over half are signing up to attend Medicine Cabinet Makeover. As an apprentice, you can also help with VIP classes. That's for "Green Smoothie Graduates"—learning more easy, inexpensive habits from 12 Steps to Whole Foods to take your health to the next level!
Contact the coach nearest you—she'll probably come to your town to teach the class!
Watch for Medicine Cabinet Makeover classes, which will always be free, to be ticketed here on GreenSmoothieGirl.com, taught by Laura Jacobs and GreenSmoothieGirl coaches.

Open to the public for less than a year, the Barclays Center in Brooklyn is beating other venues around the world in sales and revenue.
The Barclays, home to the Brooklyn Nets and the site of concerts by Jay Z, Beyonce and Barbara Streisand, sold more tickets than any other arena in the United States for the first six months of the year, according to the trade magazine Pollstar.
Madison Square Garden, arguably the most popular arena in the world, sold 194K tickets compared to the Barclays which finish third worldwide with 657K tickets sold.
The arena ranked second worldwide in revenue with $46.9M.
Only the O2 Arena in London and Manchester Arena beat the Barclays in revenue.
"What's amazing is that it's all public transportation," said one local referring to the lack of a parking facility at the arena.
The Barclays opened in late September with a series of concerts by Brooklyn native rapper and mogul Jay Z.
