TOKYO， May 19 (Xinhua) -- A male civilian working for the U.S. military in Okinawa， Japan's southernmost prefecture， was questioned Thursday by police over the disappearance of a Japanese women last month， local media reports said.
The woman， Rina Shimabukuro， the reports said， comes from Uruma in Okinawa Prefecture， which hosts four U.S. military bases.
Local reports said she went missing on April 28 after going for a walk， with the official filing of her disappearance being made the following day to the police.
The police said suspicions were raised as she left home without her car or wallet.
The man being questioned by the police， of his own volition， was potentially in the same area as Shimabukuro according to GPS data triangulated from her phone and based on traffic records， local sources said， adding that the suspect had allowed the police to inspect his car.
The latest case follows a U.S. Navy sailor being arrested in March after raping a woman in a hotel in Naha， the capital of Okinawa.
The sailor， 24-year-old Justin Castellanos， was based at the U.S. Marines' Camp Schwab in northern the northern part of the island.
Okinawa hosts some 75 percent of U.S. bases in Japan， yet the tiny sub-tropical island accounts for less than 1 percent of the county's total land mass. Local residents became increasingly irate at their base-hosting burdens and the central government's ongoing pandering to the U.S. requests， amid rising instances of crime， noise and pollution connected to the bases.

LANZHOU， Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- En route to Shapotou， there is nothing much to see but sand: endless sand.
Shapotou in northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region nestles where the Yellow River meets the Tengger Desert. For more than five decades researchers have been coming here to fight desertification. Li Xinrong is one of them.
"Sands are as precious as forests，" is his mantra. Having been here for three decades， he clearly has a very personal perception of this arid land.
"Deserts are landmarks god has given us. They nurture special biotic resources. We must protect them."
Shapotou came into the public eye in the 1950s with the construction of the Baotou-Lanzhou Railway， an artery that traverses the Tengger Desert six times. The project ran into difficulties in Shapotou's ever shifting sand dunes: hardly an ideal substrate for railway track. That was when the first group of scientists arrived.
When the trains finally began running in 1958， Shapotou had gained worldwide fame as a paradigm of successful sand control， principally the result of the "straw checkerboard" technique.
Checkerboarding requires straw， usually wheat or rice straw， to be laid out in a grid across the desert and partially buried.
The checkerboards have remarkable， though poorly understood， windbreaking properties and help to keep dunes in place， allowing topsoil to form. When a sufficiency of soil is established， drought-resistant plants can be grown. However， a receding water table has led to recent degradation of vegetation and a decline of the fixative effect.
"We can't just sit back and relax. We must become tireless tree planters so that others may rest in the shade，" said Li to his colleagues when he first arrived in Shapotou in 1987.
"Upon our arrival， my colleagues were gnashing their teeth and wringing their hands，" Li recalled. "There was no toilet. There were rat holes all over our dorm. The only way to receive a radio signal was to climb up to the top of the dunes."
So isolated were that they almost starved. "In the end， we survived by eating the seeds of elm trees，" Li said.
