Citrus Crops in U.S Under Siege From Unknown Bacterium

(NaturalNews) Citrus greening is blazing through the Florida citrus groves like wildfire. Scientists don't know how long it will take to find a treatment or cure for this contagious bacterial disease. One scenario projects that within nine to ten years, all the citrus trees currently in the ground will be dead.

Citrus greening, caused by a bacterium yet unnamed, is one of the most serious citrus diseases in the world, destroying the economic value of the fruit while compromising the tree. The disease has significantly reduced citrus output in Asia, Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and Brazil. Now trees grown in the U.S. are in jeopardy.

Abducted Man Survives 3 Days Locked in Car Trunk

SAO PAUL, Brazil — Brazilian police say they have rescued a man who was locked up for three days in the trunk of his own car.

A police officer says two heavily armed men abducted a real estate broker on Friday to use his car for "a series of burglaries." She declined to be identified because she was not authorized to speak to the press.

The officer says that the car ran out of gas and the attackers abandoned it in a crime-infested neighborhood in the southeastern city of Belo Horizonte.

She says police came across the car and heard "banging noises" coming from the trunk.

She says the victim was unhurt "but shaken, and in need of a good bath."

Men defy stereotypes in defining masculinity

clipper's remarks:

There was no significant difference in rankings of masculinity and quality of life characteristics between men who experienced erectile dysfunction and those who did not.

Contrary to stereotypes about sexual performance and masculinity, men interviewed in a large international study reported that being seen as honorable, self-reliant and respected was more important to their idea of masculinity than being seen as attractive, sexually active or successful with women

The study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine included interviews with more than 27,000 randomly selected men from eight countries (Germany, U.S., U.K., Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Italy and France), with about 16 percent of the men reporting erectile problems. Regardless of age or nationality, the men more frequently ranked good health, harmonious family life and good relationships with their wife or partner as more important to their quality of life than material, self-fulfilling or purely sexual concerns.

These results suggest we should pay attention and ask rather than presume we know

Brazil: Deforestation rises sharply as farmers push into Amazon

Concerns over the destruction of the Brazilian rainforest resurfaced at the weekend after it emerged that deforestation jumped by 64% over the last 12 months, according to official government data.

Brazil's National Institute for Space Research this week said that around 3,145 square miles - an area half the size of Wales - were razed between August 2007 and August 2008.

With commodity prices hitting recent highs and loggers and soy farmers pushing ever further into the Amazon jungle, satellite images captured by a real-time monitoring system, known in Brazil as Deter, showed that deforestation was once again on the rise after three years on the wane.

Brazil's push to expand its economy and develop the Amazon region is posing increasing threats to Brazil's natural resources. They accuse the government of retreating from its promises to defend the Amazon rainforest, which has been decimated since the 1970s by a mixture of logging, cattle ranching and soy farming.

Rate of Amazon deforestation increases

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil: The rate of Amazon deforestation increased 69 percent in the past 12 months - the first such increase in three years - as rising demand for soy and cattle pushed farmers and ranchers to fell trees, officials said Saturday.

About 8,147 square kilometers, or 3,145 square miles, of forest were destroyed between August 2007 and August 2008 - a 69 percent increase over the 4,820 square kilometers felled in the previous 12 months, according to the National Institute for Space Research, which monitors destruction of the Amazon.

Brazil's government has increased cash payments to fight illegal Amazon logging this year, and it eliminated government bank loans to farmers who illegally clear forest to plant crops.

The country lost 2.7 percent of its Amazon rain forest in 2007, or 11,000 square kilometers. Environmental officials fear even more land will be cleared this year, but they have not forecast how much.

Anthropologists in Amazon Jungles

Revealed by overgrown earthworks, the 100 square-mile urban units consist of clusters of interconnected villages ranging from 50-150 acres in size. The town-nodes were arranged along a highly-regular pattern of roads built around a central plaza about 500 feet across. The cities appear to have been at their height between the 13th and 17th centuries.

"No single Xingu settlement merits the term 'city.' But what do you do with a core of five settlements are few kilometers away from each other?" Michael Heckenberger, a University of Florida anthropologist currently in Brazil, told Science. "A fast walk from one to another would take you 15 minutes, maximum."

The work suggests that the Amazon basin, particularly the Xingu region, may have been more populated than previously thought, but without the traditional city structures that mark other old urban civilizations in other parts of the world.

Ford did question, however, Heckenberger's use of the term "urban" to describe the settlements.

Amazons' lost towns

'Lost towns' discovered in Amazon

A remote area of the Amazon river basin was once home to densely populated towns, Science journal reports.

The Upper Xingu, in west Brazil, was once thought to be virgin forest, but in fact shows traces of extensive human activity.

Researchers found evidence of a grid-like pattern of settlements connected by road networks and arranged around large central plazas.

There are signs of farming, wetland management, and possibly fish farms.

The ancient urban communities date back to before the first Europeans set foot in the Upper Xingu region of the Brazilian Amazon in the 15th Century.

"They have quite remarkable planning and self-organisation, more so than many classical examples of what people would call urbanism," he said. Although the remains are almost invisible, they can be identified by members of the Kuikuro tribe, who are thought to be direct descendents of the people who built the towns.
