Lack of Methane Deals Blow to Martian Life Theory
Sep 19th 2013, 20:16, by webdesk@voanews.com (VOA News)

In a blow to the theory that life could still exist on Mars, the U.S. space agency, NASA, announced Thursday that the Curiosity rover has not detected any methane gas on the red planet. The discovery of methane could have been a potential sign that microbial life still exists on Mars. Scientists note, however, that the lack of methane doesn't necessarily mean the planet is devoid of life. Previous reports of localized methane concentrations up to 45 parts per billion on Mars, which sparked ...

Putin Warns Ukraine Over Europe Ambitions
Sep 19th 2013, 20:04, by webdesk@voanews.com (Reuters)

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Ukraine on Thursday he would retaliate with protectionist measures if it signed a landmark trade deal with the European Union and suggested Kyiv enter instead into Russian-led customs union. A day after Ukraine gave the go-ahead to sign agreements with the EU at a November summit in Lithuania, Putin made clear Moscow would hit back if its market were flooded by competitive goods from the EU because of Kyiv removing import duties. "We would somehow ...

US Investigation Spotlights China's Princelings
Sep 19th 2013, 20:17, by webdesk@voanews.com (Yi Chen, Yinan Wang)

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating JP Morgan's Hong Kong office for hiring the children of high-level Chinese officials.  Observers say the hiring of these so-called "princelings" is to open business opportunities in mainland China.  But could the practice, which dates back almost two decades, also be considered bribery?  The SEC has investigated at least seven cases of bribery of Chinese officials, involving major American firms, since 2010. ...

Aid Agencies: Northern Mali Herders Face Food Insecurity
Sep 19th 2013, 19:19, by webdesk@voanews.com (Jennifer Lazuta)

Despite the prospect of good harvests this year, aid agencies are once again warning of food insecurity in Africa's Sahel region. They are particularly concerned about northern Mali, where most families earn their livings from livestock. Many of the animals have been stolen or have died since conflict erupted in the north early last year. The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says that there has been a "significant deterioration" in the food security situation in ...

Sep 19th 2013, 21:10, by webdesk@voanews.com (Reuters)

A global rise in cases of the mind-robbing Alzheimer's disease is creating a chronic shortage of caregivers, with the number of old people dependent on care set to rise to 277 million by 2050, according to a report by a leading dementia charity.   Half of all older people who need personal care have dementia, the report by Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI)  said, and governments should make dementia a priority by implementing national plans and starting urgent debate on ...

All-American Banjo Has African Roots
Sep 19th 2013, 21:11, by webdesk@voanews.com (Adam Phillips)

From folk songs like Oh Susannah to its starring role in Bluegrass festivals, the banjo seems to be a quintessentially homegrown American instrument.  However, as Colorado banjo virtuoso Jayme Stone has learned, this five-stringed wonder actually has roots half a world away - in Africa. From Bluegrass festivals to backwoods, Appalachian porches to stadium concerts, a banjo's twang is pure Americana. Or is it? While playing a 13th Century Malian praise song in New York's famed Joe's ...

Sep 19th 2013, 01:24, by webdesk@voanews.com (Reuters)
