Pollution may damage polar bear penile bones

RedOrbit: To put it plainly: human activity makes life difficult for polar bears. Climate change is destroying their habitat and dictating their diet. And now, as it turns out, we`re also hurting their penises. Well, our pollutants are hurting their penises, that is. Christian Sonne, professor in Veterinary Ecotoxicology and Wildlife Health at Aarhus University in Denmark, and his team connected high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) with low baculum (penile bone) density. PCBs were used for...

Polar bear penis bone weakened by pollution
2015-01-26 14:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: First climate change, now penile fracture - polar bears have got it pretty rough. Chemical pollutants may be reducing the density of the bears' penis bones, putting them at risk of breaking this most intimate part of their anatomy. Various mammals, though not humans, have a penis bone, also known as penile bone or baculum. Its exact function is unclear: it could be just a by-product of evolution, or it may help support the penis or stimulate the female during mating. Christian Sonne at Aarhus...

Are falling oil prices a sign of a coming bear market?
2015-01-19 13:26:31| IT Services - Topix.net
Crude oil prices have been in a death spiral for some six months now, evoking all manner of commentary in the financial press as to whether this is indicative of the bull market being on the ropes. That's because oil prices typically drop during recessions and bear markets, and drop they certainly have.

Mountains of world inventory keeping sugar in bear hug
2015-01-16 08:18:57| Sugar Industry News
Raw sugar on Intercontinental Exchange( ICE) in New York has seen a fall of 60 per cent from a 30-year high of 36.08 cents a pound since February 2011 as the world market remains overwhelmed by mountains of stocks in major production centres, including India and also big importing countries like China. London-based sugar advisory group C Czarnikow says in the past three seasons alone, as much as 21 million tonnes (mt) in raw sugar terms were added to world inventory. Notwithstanding unfavourable weather to impact production from Brazil to Australia during 2014-15 (October-September), the global surplus, according to International Sugar Organisation (ISO), will still be 473,000 tonnes. Czarnikow, however, thinks world production this season will be ahead of demand by 600,000 tonnes. Taking a contrary position, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) says this season will be the first since 2009-10 to see a rundown in sugar inventories. USDA estimates inventory depletion of 1.41 mt. How much sugar the cane crop will yield depends on weather during the growing period and therefore, every season is marked by periodic revision of production estimates. What, however, is unlikely to undergo correction is the Czarnikow forecast of world use growing 2.1 per cent in 2014-15 to 182.5 mt.

Zacks' Bear Of The Day: Exxon
2015-01-07 13:28:30| Chemicals - Topix.net
Exxon Mobil probably has the best chance of not just emerging from the downturn in oil victoriously, but also come out bigger and stronger than ever before. It's not one of those fly-by-night E&Ps that may or may not make it out alive.
