|
The Association of Relatives and Friends of Gol's flight 1907, which fell down in the Amazon jungle killing all those aboard, issued a statement condemning a Brazilian judged decision to allow two American pilots, Joseph Lepore and Jan Paladino, to be heard in the United States instead of having to travel to Brazil for the deposition.

| Is Brazil's Green Revolution Killing the Green? |
|
|
Despite the multitude of approaches that have been suggested to deal with the developing energy crisis, the universal consensus that the world's oil supply will shortly be depleted leaves a number of countries engaged in an active search for new alternative energy. Thus, the pressure is on industrialized countries not only to create an ecologically-friendly energy market, but to do so without disturbing the energy supply of their citizens.
In an effort to address the growing energy crisis, many industrialized countries, such as the United States, have begun various forms of partnerships with less industrialized, yet highly resource-rich nations.

| If You Are Magically Swept Away in Brazil You Got Maracatu Fever |
|
|
It is difficult to explain the effect of maracatu on the psyche, when one is residing in that particular hotbed of hedonism, carnal infestation and debauchery that is the bohemian clamor of Lapa, in the heart of Rio de Janeiro. Maracatu was, once every week, a very necessary catharsis. Maracatu was redemption.
In ways it felt like the entire globe was being simultaneously summoned, sated, and held to account finally by nothing more than a kaleidoscopic assemblage of percussionists, dancers, singers - and, preternaturally, the reveling, rag-tag court that pursued them.

| The Brazilian Bloody War Against US Monsanto and Swiss Syngenta |
|
|
On March 7 - International Women's Day - dozens of Brazilian women occupied a research site of the U.S.-based agricultural biotechnology giant Monsanto in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, destroying the greenhouse and experimental plots of genetically-modified (GM) corn.
Participants, members of the international farmers' organization La Vía Campesina, stated in a note that the act was to protest the Brazilian government's decision in February to legalize Monsanto's GM Guardian corn, just weeks after the French government prohibited the corn due to environment and human health risks.
