(AP) — A team led by a nurseryman from northern Michigan and his sons has raced against time for two decades, snipping branches from some of the world's biggest and most durable trees with plans to produce clones that could restore ancient forests and help fight climate change.

With little more than a spout-like tap and a bucket, people are looting the liquid out of trees on private property and hauling it away to turn into sweet maple syrup.

It's about pollen, about germs and even a little about China, its polluting rival across the sea. Simple masks. High-tech masks. Scented masks. Masks in pink and purple.

(AP) — An armed mob set out into the Florida Everglades on Saturday to flush out a scaly invader.
