First off, I am a recent convert to QGIS and am greatly impressed with its ease of use and speed compared with the ESRI products with which I am more familiar - my congratulations and thanks to its developers (including the plug-ins).
I have surveyed (and corrected) DGPS (vector point) data collected to OSGB36 (British National Grid); these positions match acceptably well with the OSGB36 map layers to which I have access when imported as CSV and converted to SHP in QGIS, projected using EPSG:27700 (~1m error, although error could be in map layer which is suspect).
I'm attempting a four-stage export from QGISv1.7.4 to Google SketchUp (SU) via Google Earth (GE), as follows:
stage 1: In QGIS, Save as../KML with CRS set to WGS84 EPSG:4326 (or ETRS89);
stage 2: Open KML in GE;
stage 3: Save as KMZ;
stage 4: Open in SU.
Unfortunately, the exported WGS84 positions in the KML file are in error by ~8m - I've checked them against OSTN02 conversion using tool on OS website , I've also checked GE projection (by eye: converting GE lat/long to OSGB36 and comparing with OSGB36 vector map layer). (SU fails to open the KMZ file as well, but that's not a QGIS issue, I imagine - any hints welcome...).
So the evidence seems to point towards an error in the transformation from OSGB36 to WGS84 in stage 1, i.e. with QGISv1.7.4.
Any suggestions as to where the fault in my process might lie, or to an alternative approach, gratefully received...
thanks - JS

Lewis & Clark named in National Jurist's Best Law Schools for Public Interest
February 01, 2011
Law Campus
Lewis & Clark Law School was named among the Best Law Schools for Public Interest by National Jurist. Criteria for the list include outstanding clinical opportunities, strong faculty involvement, and a robust loan repayment assistance program.
The law school's public interest law program consistently ranks among the top 10 programs in the country. Lewis & Clark has one of the highest rates of public interest law participation in the country, with more than one out of three graduates choosing to work in the public service sector.
A number of programs and projects at the law school—such as legal clinics, externships, and the Public Interest Law Project (PILP)—help students and graduates succeed in the sector. PILP provides stipends to law students doing summer internships in public interest law and raises funds for the loan repayment assistance program, which helps graduates working in public sector repay their student loans.
Learn more about PILP in this interview with students who celebrated the program's 20th anniversary last year.

Angela Berry is seen participating in a mock interview with Sophia Gulley of Morgan Junior High School. Berry capitalized on every opportunity to enhance her skills as a student at Ohio University Zanesville.
Photographer: Chris Shaw
May 1, 2014
By Angela Brock
Ohio University Zanesville will hold its Convocation ceremony Friday evening. Among the campus' approximately 300 graduates will be Angela Berry – a woman who has always wanted to be a teacher and who is now achieving that dream, thanks to her perseverance and the support she received from her peers and educators who helped her through her rocky road to success.
Berry began pursuing her bachelor's degree in childhood education at the Zanesville Campus 10 years ago after graduating from high school. After only two days of classes, she dropped out of the University feeling overwhelmed by the coursework and the need to achieve perfection.
"Getting an A was all I could think about. I wasn't ready for the change in my life that college would bring," Berry explained.
Seven years later, Berry, now married and with two daughters, returned to the Zanesville Campus more committed than ever to pursue her educational dreams. She still had moments of self-doubt but pressed on, telling herself all the while, "I can do this."
Halfway through her sophomore year and well on her way to achieving her professional dreams, Berry's world was shattered. She, her husband Aaron and their two oldest daughters faced the tragic loss of the couple's 4-month-old daughter, Maddison, to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
Such tragedy could have easily and understandably deterred Berry from her educational pursuits, but she returned to classes just one day after Maddison's funeral.
"I knew if I stayed in bed I would have never wanted to get back out due to the loss," Berry said. "If I didn't go back to finish now, I would never go back."
While her return to campus was not easy, Berry found comfort and encouragement in the support she received from the Zanesville Campus family.
Beverly Bell, an assistant professor of education at the Zanesville Campus and Berry's academic advisor, attended Maddison's viewing, and the campus donated a tree to plant in her memory.
But it was the support she received from her instructors and the conversation she had with one of her associate professors that really put her back on the road to success.
Berry had taken several classes with Chuan Liu, an associate professor of mathematics at the Zanesville Campus. That semester she was enrolled in Liu's pre-calculus course. Liu said he could sense that something was wrong with Berry, and when he asked her if she was OK, Berry responded by telling him what had happened.
Understanding the difficult time Berry was experiencing, Liu shared a touching story about his own daughter who is battling a serious heart condition. He spoke about feeling out of control, and, because he saw a spark and passion in her, he shared with her some words of wisdom.
"You have to keep going and have hope even through the difficulties of life," Liu said. "We may have difficulties or experience tragedy, but if you can finish something in the face of those challenges, hope builds again."
Berry took Liu's message to heart and finished that very difficult and emotional semester with a 4.0 GPA – an accomplishment helped by her instructors who allowed her extra time to catch up on the little class time she missed.
"If I had not been able to do that, I don't think I would have gotten through," said Berry. "I only missed three days of class, but I got behind."
Lisa Douglass, an assistant professor of middle childhood education, joined the faculty at the Zanesville Campus the semester after Berry lost her daughter and had Berry in one of her first classes. Douglass remembered student introductions on the first day of class and the emotions Berry shared.
"I was touched by the love that I saw," said Douglass. "I could see why Angela would want to come back to Ohio University Zanesville after the loss. Her peers not only supported her, they likely helped her through class material she may have missed and they genuinely cared for her."
In addition to supporting her through the tragedy, Berry was also able to begin the healing process through her work at the University. Berry used an assignment in Associate Professor of English Lisa Haven's junior composition course as an outlet to explain the obstacles she and her family had faced. She wanted to share with her fellow students the emotions she was going through and, more importantly, the good that came out of her family's tragedy.
Berry and her husband Aaron created the Princess Maddie Foundation in their daughter's honor. Through fundraisers, the foundation provides financial support to families for funeral costs or other expenses associated with the loss of a child.
This summer Berry, through the Princess Maddie Foundation, was able to help a fellow Bobcat at the University's Lancaster Campus. The student had suffered a miscarriage while undergoing a cancer-related procedure. Berry not only offered her financial help but was able to encourage her to return to school even stronger.
Berry has been offered a position at Tri-Valley Local Schools, pending approval by its Board of Education. And as she prepares to graduate this weekend, Berry said she looks forward to inspiring others, including her future students, by drawing on the inspiration she received at the Zanesville Campus.
"I want someone to look at me and say, 'Because of you, I didn't give up,'" Berry said. "I want my students to know they can do anything they set their minds on."
In fact, Berry is already inspiring at least one person. Her husband, Aaron, is first-year student at Ohio University Zanesville, following in his wife's footsteps.

Life stops when we don't stop to observe our feelings and thoughts. I believe that by being aware and accepting what is happening inside and outside, we allow ourselves to hear our inner song. Our dreams then become like seeds with great creative power. That's when miracles happen. When we listen to our hearts' calling in the moment, we can also connect with people who share the same inner visions and together we can reflect and build new wonderful communities.

Homemade CroutonsThe Absolute Best. Perfect. World's Best. Awesome. I always smile when I see that in a recipe title, because while it may be a bit presumptuous, sometimes we really do think that our whatever-recipe is the best of the best, don't we?
Well... while you may or may not agree with me, these croutons are the absolute best I've ever eaten and I swear, as a bonafide bread junkie, I could make a meal of them alone. The infusion of the garlic in the oil is the key I think and it makes a world of difference, whether you are just tossing these with a good ole fresh garden salad, or a yummy panzanella salad. Enjoy.
Recipe: The Absolute Best Homemade Croutons©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 5 min |Inactive time: 30 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 4 large cloves of garlic, chopped
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
- About 6 cups of day old French bread, cut into cubes
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Sprinkle the kosher salt over the chopped garlic and paste it by dragging a chef's knife through the garlic to mash and incorporate the salt. Add the mashed garlic to the olive oil, stir with a fork, and infuse for 30 minutes. Strain the infused oil into a large bowl, but reserve the garlic, if desired, to add to the salad later. Whisk in the parsley, add the cubed French bread to the oil and toss to coat.
Spread out on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp, stirring once or twice. Set aside to cool. Store leftover croutons at room temperature, in a zipper storage bag or other airtight container.
Variation: Use leftover homemade cornbread or make a fresh batch in a pan and allow it to go stale. Cut into squares, place on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Toss with the seasoned oil and return to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes longer, or until croutons are toasted.
Tip:When it's too hot to heat up the oven for croutons, toast your bread on the grill instead!

If you're anything like me, you may have found yourself stuck in a rut in the kitchen. You end up cooking the same recipes over and over and, while they might be good, they get old fast.
I've been trying to kick myself of that habit by making a point of trying at least one new recipe per week. So far, I'm really enjoying tasting new dishes! I go out of my way to pick recipes that won't use a bazillion unknown ingredients, and that are reasonably healthy.
On that note, if you haven't already stumbled up Chocolate Covered Katie's blog yet, I highly encourage you to do so. I found the recipe for my Double Chocolate Brownie Batter Pancakes on there, which were incredible and unbelievably low in calories! So far she's two for two in terms of serving up heavenly and healthy versions of a variety of chocolatey goodness. This little baby is a recipe she created as well, and holy cow! It's freaking good.
One-Minute Chocolate Cake
(can be gluten-free!)
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 tsp cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons spelt flour (or white, or even peanut flour)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 stevia packet (or 1 more tablespoon sugar)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (Edit: many commenters have said it still tastes good if you sub applesauce or mashed banana. But I can't personally vouch for the results if you make that substitution.)
- 3 tablespoons milk of choice (I used almond milk)
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
Step 1: Combine dry ingredients: cocoa powder, flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and stevia, and mix very, very well. I used one tablespoon whole wheat and 2 tablespoon white flour.
Step 2: Add liquid, stir, then transfer to a little dish, ramekin,
or even a coffee mug. I used the unsweetened applesauce instead
of oil to add less fat to the recipe.
Step 3: Microwave 30-40 seconds. If you don't want to eat it straight out of the dish, be sure to spray your dish first (and then wait for it to cool before trying to remove it).
Step 4: Chocolate Covered Katie has a recipe for raw frosting you can use to top it off, or do as I did and drizzle with chocolate syrup!
If this doesn't satisfy your sweet tooth, I don't know what will! It's the perfect single serving dessert, if you want something guilt-free! The pictures don't even do this justice, in my opinion.
Of course, there are days when you just have to have the real thing, but this is great when you want to feel indulgent. My husband was out of town, so making a whole cake for just little-old-me seemed like a lot of work. This was a great alternative, and I could have my cake and eat it too! (Ok, that was lame.)
**I have since made this for a second time, but I added a tiny scoop of hot fudge in the batter before microwaving. If you're not afraid of a few extra calories, this is a melt-in-your-mouth addition!
Do you have any recipes that are to die for? Do you splurge on desserts, or do you like to find ways to make them healthier? Share!

Corbett Barr asked in a comment on When Is It Time Enough how to help maintain momentum when you've started something.
Slacking off mid-project is a big problem for all of us. I know it is for me and I've left many projects unfinished because I didn't have the motivation to really stick with it.
These days I have a few tricks up my sleeve to keep myself focused when my energy dwindles and one that I really love is using different forms of art to keep myself motivated.
Here are a few of them and why they work for me.
1) Sufjan Stevens – You Are The Blood
Listen to it on my Blip.fm station.
This song just strikes a chord with my creative center. I plug in my headphones and put this on loop and next thing I know two hours have passed and I've crunched through a ton of work. It shifts tone and style throughout the song which I think helps keeps me shifting gears and moving forward.
It helps me enter a state of flow when I'm working, keeping me focused and dedicated to the task at hand.
Find a song or an album that resonates with you creatively. Often times when you are hitting a wall putting on an aural creative trigger will help you push through it and get on to the next step in your process. Even better is that it will keep you engaged with your work and focused so you don't slip out of the process.
2) Flobots – Handlebars
Not only does this song resonate with my creativity but the music video has such striking motion graphics and imagery. It inspires me to action far more than the song would on its own.
It is full of revolutionary images and the theme pulls out of me that drive to create change in the world. As a liberation artist who wants to spread the passion to create a life worth waking up for this music video hurls me towards that goal.
Find images or video that resonates with your goals. When your motivation wanes hit the play button and feel the rush of inspiration.
3) Walt Whitman – Song of the Open Road
Nothing says motivation to a vagabond like this poem by Walt Whitman. While it isn't necessarily a quick read or a quick fix it definitely helps me keep me on track with my goals as a vagabond.
The imagery that Whitman conjures has played out for me in as I travel and when I'm feeling stuck or that persistent ennui from a late night spent alone it keeps the fire stocked with fuel for the long run.
Find a poem or series of verse that resonate with your lifestyle. When you find yourself slipping from your desired life take a moment to reconnect with what helped spark those dreams in the first place.
What types of art do you use to keep you motivated, focused and inspired?

When should chemo be started in an asymptomatic patient who has a rising PSA where hormones have failed?
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
When should chemo be started in an asymptomatic patient who has a rising PSA where hormones have failed?
David J Vaughn, MD, Medical Director of the Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute and Associate Professor of Medicine, Hematology-Oncology at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
In general, chemotherapy is usually employed in the patient with metastatic disease with progression on hormones, with or without symptoms. In the non-metastatic asymptomatic castrate (achieved through orchiectomy or hormone therapy) patient who has biochemical progression (rise in PSA), the decision is more difficult. Alternate hormones such as anti-androgens and ketoconazole can be considered.
Chemotherapy could be used if one was concerned that the PSA progression was a sign of rapidly progressing subclinical metastatic disease that would cause symptoms in short order. Finally, this is an excellent patient situation for a clinical trial.

Parcel Ownership for Oil & Gas Pipelines, Part 2
September 30, 2012 1 Comment
To pickup where we left off, let's review what we have in the drawing.
The missing part is the parcel information in the data band between the "property lines."
To do this, we have two options, one would be to just create hard text that would require re-positioning whenever the alignment moved or use a pipe connected to the structures, allowing the pipe information to adjust as the alignment adjusted. But how do we use the pipe to use the parcel information?
Well, we need to assign optional properties to a part. It's these optional properties we want. To make a list, we need something like:
- tract number
- owner name

These optional properties will be something we can use within the text contents of the label. But we have to create the properties first for the parts. The boys and girls over at BEING CIVIL posted about this back in 2010. So take a look at that post for the optional pipe property creation details. Of course, for this to work across your team, the pipe network catalog settings for each user should point to a shared network folder containing the pipe and structure catalogs.
After adding the optional properties, you may see something like this:
Adding the values to the property is the only sticking point for me.
You can manually type the values of course, but those values are in the part catalog; meaning you could end up with a long drop down list of values. Of course, if you're typing values to enter, does it matter that the list is long?
The cool part about this is that you can not only include this information in the profile, but you can use it in a pipe table. Although, you probably already have the parcels defined in Civil 3D. But this way, the table can be limited to those parcels impacted by the utility alignment!

Four D Stables' homebred Turallure, who was narrowly defeated by Court Vision in last year's Breeders' Cup Mile (Grade I) beneath the Twin Spires, will carry the top weight of 122 pounds when he faces five rivals in the 22nd running of the $150,000-added Firecracker Handicap (GII) on Sunday at Churchill Downs.
The Firecracker for 3-year-olds and up at one mile on the Matt Winn Turf Course is the featured event on the 10-race closing night program for the Spring Meet at Churchill Downs. Sunday was originally scheduled as a daytime program, but with near-record heat looming in the forecast, Churchill Downs officials moved the first post on Friday, Saturday and Sunday back to 6:30 p.m. (all times Eastern). The Firecracker is scheduled as Race 7 at 9:30 p.m.
Turallure's runner-up finish in the Breeders' Cup Mile capped off an impressive season that included victories in the Woodbine Mile (GI) at Woodbine, the Bernard Baruch (GII) at Saratoga and the Opening Verse at Churchill Downs. Trained by Charlie Lopresti, who won last year's Firecracker with Morton Fink's homebred Wise Dan, Turallure made his 5-year-old debut in the Maker's 46 Mile (GI) at Keeneland and finished second by a neck to Data Link. In his most recent start, he finished seventh of 11 in the Woodford Reserve Turf Classic (GI) at Churchill Downs on Kentucky Derby Day.
A gray or roan son of Canadian Triple Crown winner Wando, Turallure will break from post four under Julien Leparoux, the 10th all-time leading rider at Churchill Downs.
Turallure's main competition could be Michael Bruder's Guys Reward, who has already recorded two wins on the Matt Winn Turf Course this spring, including the Opening Verse on June 9. Weighted at 118 pounds, Guys Reward sports an impressive record of 4-1-2 in eight starts on the Matt Winn Turf Course for trainer Dale Romans, who won the Firecracker in 2005 with 2004 turf champion Kitten's Joy. Guys Reward's two third-place finishes came in the American Turf (GII) in 2010 and last spring's Louisville Handicap (GIII). A 5-year-old dark bay or brown son of Grand Reward, Guys Reward will break from the outside under the Spring Meet's leading rider, Corey Lanerie.
The other stakes winner in the field is G. Watts Humphrey Jr. and St. George Farm Racing LLC's Seruni. A 5-year-old gelded son of Saint Liam, Seruni won the off-the-turf Labor Day at Moutaineer last September and most recently finished second behind Guys Reward in the Opening Verse. Prior to the Opening Verse, Seruni won an allowance race on the turf at Churchill Downs, making him one of five runners in the Firecracker to have a win over the Matt Winn Turf Course. He will seek his second victory on the grass at the Louisville track when breaking from post two under Jon Court, who was aboard Wise Dan for his Firecracker victory last year.
The lone horse without a previous victory on the turf at Churchill Downs is Camelia Casby's Night Party, who is coming off a runner-up effort in a stakes race on the turf at Indiana Downs on June 20. Prior to that performance, Night Party finished third behind Nates Mineshaft and Get in Da House in the Lone Star Park Handicap (GIII) for trainer Pat Huffman. A 4-year-old chestnut son of Rahy, Night Party will break from the rail under Shane Sellers.
Rounding out the field is Kip Colvin's Mandurah, an 8-year-old gelded son of A.P. Indy coming off a recent allowance win on the Matt Winn Turf Course, and Melynk Racing Stables Inc.'s Silver Rock, who finished second by a nose in a June 3 allowance on the turf at Churchill Downs in his 5-year-old debut. The Grant Forster-trained Mandurah will break from post three under Brian Hernandez Jr. and Silver Rock, trained by Mark Casse, will break from post five under Shaun Bridgmohan.
The field for the Firecracker Handicap, from the rail out, is as follows: Night Party (trained by Pat Huffman, ridden by Shane Sellers, weighted at 115 pounds), Seruni (Philip Oliver, Jon Court, 117), Mandurah (Grant Forster, Brian Hernandez Jr., 115), Turallure (Charlie Lopresti, Julien Leparoux, 122), Silver Rock (Mark Casse, Shaun Bridgmohan, 116) and Guys Reward (Dale Romans, Corey Lanerie, 118).

The Nepomuk WebMiner 0.6 adds beside several bugfixes:
- User changeable regular expression for the filename parsing.
- Removed its own and reuse the Nepomuk internal fileindexing to get id3 tags and other file metadata.
- Add whitelist for automatic web search. You might like to lookup the folder with your publication pdfs but not your private documents. Or the network share with your tvshows, but not your private family videos. This works on top of the Nepomuk whitelist. So you Nepomuk can index these files, but not all of them will be websearched.
- Instead of the dull treeview that shows the raw fetched metadata, you can now see and edit the metadata in several fancy edit fields.
You can find the latest release on projects.kde.org or the tarball on kde-apps.org.
Even though I wanted to get this into KDE SC 4.11, I doubt this is going to happen. Soft feature freeze is around the corner and I don't feel comfortable enough to let this be part of SC and annoy all users with this service yet. There are still a lot of usability problems I like to have solved properly before this can be part of of any KDE installation.
So please test the latest release and report any errors back to me.

Brussels, 30th September 2010
Commission to boost Europe's defences against cyber-attacks
The European Commission today unveiled two new measures to ensure that Europe can defend itself from attacks against its key information (IT) systems. A proposal for a Directive to deal with new cyber crimes, such as large-scale cyber attacks, is complemented by a proposal for a Regulation to strengthen and modernise the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA). The two initiatives are foreseen by the Digital Agenda for Europe and the Stockholm Programme to boost trust and network security (see IP/10/581, MEMO/10/199 and MEMO/10/200). Under the proposed Directive, the perpetrators of cyber attacks and the producers of related and malicious software could be prosecuted, and would face heavier criminal sanctions. Member States would be also obliged to quickly respond to urgent requests for help in the case of cyber-attacks, rendering European justice and police cooperation in this area more effective. Strengthening and modernising ENISA would also help the EU, Member States and private stakeholders develop their capabilities and preparedness to prevent, detect and respond to cyber-security challenges. Both proposals will be forwarded to the European Parliament and the EU's Council of Ministers for adoption.
Commissioner Cecilia Malmström, in charge of Home Affairs, said: "Crime is finding new ways. With the help of malicious software, it is possible to take control over a large number of computers and steal credit card numbers, find sensitive information or launch large-scale attacks. It is time for us to step up our efforts against cyber crime, also often used by organised crime. The proposals we are putting forward today are one important step, as we criminalise the creation and selling of malicious software and improve European police cooperation".
Commission Vice-President for the Digital Agenda, Neelie Kroes, said "Making every European digital will only happen if citizens feel confident and safe on-line. Cyber threats know no borders. A modernised European Network and Information Security Agency will bring new expertise and foster exchanges of best practice in Europe. Our EU institutions and governments must work ever closely together, to help us understand the nature and scale of the new cyber-threats. We need ENISA's advice and support to help design efficient response mechanisms to protect our citizens and businesses online".
While Europe is engaged in taking full advantage of the potential of network and information systems, it should not become more vulnerable to disruptions caused by accidental or natural events (like submarine cable breaks) or through malicious actions (like hacking or other cyber-attacks). These could be based on, for example, increasingly sophisticated tools which hijack large numbers of computers and manipulate them simultaneously as an army of robots on the internet ("botnets") without their owners' knowledge. These infected computers can later be used to carry out devastating cyber-attacks against public and private IT systems, as happened in Estonia in 2007 where most online public services, as well as government, parliament and police servers were made temporarily inoperative. The number of attacks against information systems has risen steadily since the EU first adopted rules on attacks against information systems in February 2005. In March 2009, the computer systems of government and private organizations in more than 100 countries were attacked by a network of compromised computers which extracted sensitive and classified documents. In this instance again, malicious software created 'botnets', networks of infected computers that can be remotely controlled to stage a coordinated attack.
The package proposed by the Commission today will strengthen Europe's response to cyber disruptions. The Commission's proposal on cybercrime builds on rules that have been in force since 2005, and introduces new aggravating circumstances and higher criminal sanctions that are necessary to fight more effectively the growing threat and occurrence of large scale attacks against information systems.
Moreover, it would pave the way for an improvement of cooperation between the judiciary and the police of the Member States, introducing the obligation for Member States to make better use of the existing 24/7 network of contact points by treating urgent requests in a specified timeframe.
Finally, the proposed Directive would provide for the establishment of a system to record and trace cyber attacks.
Reinforced cooperation across countries and industrial sectors
To help co-ordinate Europe's response, the Commission is proposing a new Regulation to strengthen and modernise the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA), which was first established in 2004. This would reinforce cooperation across EU Member States, law enforcement authorities and the industrial sector. ENISA will play an important role in boosting trust, which underpins the development of the Information Society, by enhancing the security and privacy of users.
Under its new mandate, ENISA would engage EU Member States and private sector stakeholders in joint activities across Europe, such as cyber security exercises, public private partnerships for network resilience, economic analyses and risk assessment and awareness campaigns.
A modernised ENISA would have greater flexibility and adaptability and would be available to providing EU countries and institutions with assistance and advice on regulatory matters.
Finally, to respond to the increased intensity of cyber security challenges, the proposed Regulation would extend ENISA's mandate for five years and gradually increase its financial and human resources. The Commission proposes that ENISA's governance structure would also be strengthened with a stronger supervisory role of the Management Board, in which the EU Member States and the European Commission are represented.
The proposed Directive on attacks against information systems repeals the Council Framework Decision 2005/222/JHA. Member States would have an obligation to comply with the new Directive on cyber crime, and transpose it into national legislation within two years from its adoption at the latest.
ENISA was created in 2004 and its current mandate expires in March 2012. It is now proposed to extend it by 5 years. This proposal for a Regulation was preceded by a broad process that included an evaluation of the Agency, recommendations by its Management Board, two public consultations and an impact assessment including a cost/benefit analysis

Borlaug: It started in the 1940s when I joined a new program, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, aimed at assisting poor farmers in Mexico to increase their wheat production. We spent nearly 20 years breeding high-yield dwarf wheat that resisted a variety of plant pests and diseases and yielded two to three times more grain than traditional varieties.
Eventually, in the 1960s, we were able to expand the program and teach local farmers in Pakistan and India to cultivate the new wheat properly. The results were wonderful:
- Pakistan produced 8.4 million tons in 1970, up from 4.6 million in 1965.
- India's production was 20 million tons in 1970, up from 12.3 million 1965.
In 1968, when the administrator for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) wrote in his annual report that there was a big improvement in Pakistan and India, he said, "It looks like a Green Revolution." That is how the label 'The Green Revolution' got started. As an aside, the "greenies" have nothing to do with the Green Revolution, which is all about alleviating world hunger.
In the 1980s, the success of the Green Revolution spilled over to China, which is now the world's biggest food producer.
Is global hunger still a threat as it was in the 1960s?
Borlaug: Yes, it is. For example, Africa now has a food crisis in a number of countries. That is what our African program is trying to solve — and former President Jimmy Carter is involved in it. Our joint program is called Sasakawa-Global 2000. We're helping farmers in countries struggling with food shortages to help them with the best possible farming practices, such as choosing seed and controlling weeds. We have the technology to double or triple food production but there is no viable system of transportation in these countries — no roads, no railroads. The cost of moving fertilizer to these places, for example, would be three to four times more than what American farmers currently pay. Even if African farmers could produce more grain, how do they get it to their cities?
Sub-Saharan countries suffer from poor soil and uncertain rainfall, a shortage of trained agriculturalists, and lack of technology among other things. But our African program's test plots for corn, sorghum, wheat, cassava, rice, and grain legumes have two or three times higher yields than the control test plots using conventional methods.
What do you say to those who oppose the use of agricultural biotechnology in developing countries?
Borlaug: Biotechnology will help these countries accomplish things that they could never do with conventional plant breeding. The technology is more precise and farming becomes less time consuming. The public needs to be better informed about the importance of biotechnology in food production so it won't be so critical.
You have to recognize food habits and it's difficult to change food habits. You have to start with the crops that are the most basic to the country and apply technology to it so you can double or triple the yield. You begin by planting in select test plots to demonstrate to farmers the potential of the new crop. You can bring seed to them easier than fertilizer. In places where fertilizer is available, many farmers don't have the money to buy it anyway. Farmers who see success in their test plots will be able to help change governmental policy and public attitude towards biotechnology.
There is a big potential for biotech in Africa. For example, Roundup Ready® crops. The gene for herbicide tolerance is built into the crops. These kinds of biotech crops promote good farming methods. For example, traditional African farms are plagued with razor-sharp grasses and so the farmers slash and burn. Herbicide-resistant crops can eliminate these grasses.
While biotechnology holds much promise in food production, we cannot ignore conventional plant breeding methods since these methods continue to be important. In the last century, conventional breeding produced higher yields and will continue to do so in this century.
Studies have shown that some genetically modified (GM) food crops carry toxins and allergens. Aren't these foods a health risk to humans?
Borlaug: There is no good evidence of toxicity in these foods but I am aware that allergenic properties may exist. Allergies caused by natural foods have been with us for a long time, so why wouldn't they happen with GM crops? Researchers are constantly monitoring crops for allergens and should be able to modify seeds to lessen the risks. There is a report by scientists at University of California at Berkeley who analyzed foods, including some that humans have eaten since the dawn of agriculture. The report shows that there are natural foods that contain trace amounts of natural chemicals that are toxic or carcinogenic. These foods don't seem to harm us.
If you're a theoretical scientist, you can philosophize about this but I've been in the field for a long time and I believe genetically modified food crops will stop world hunger. I recognize the value of crops created by traditional plant breeding but I also see the viability of crops that carry an herbicide-resistant gene or whatever gene is incorporated by biotechnology.
What about risks to the environment?
Borlaug: Biotechnology helps farmers produce higher yields on less land. This is a very environmentally favorable benefit. For example, the world's grain output in 1950 was 692 million tons. Forty years or so later, the world's farmers used about the same amount of acreage but they harvested 1.9 billion tons — a 170% increase! We would have needed an additional 1.8 billion hectares of land, instead of the 600 million used, had the global cereal harvest of 1950 prevailed in 1999 using the same conventional farming methods.
If we had continued practicing conventional farming, we would have cut down millions of acres of forest, thereby destroying wildlife habitat, in order to increase cropland to produce enough food for an escalating population. And we would have to use more herbicides in more fields, which would damage the environment even more. Technology allows us to have less impact on soil erosion, biodiversity, wildlife, forests, and grasslands.
Can farmers in developing nations access biotech products?
Borlaug: In spite of biotech's great potential, access is a problem. Most of the research on crops is conducted by private enterprise and corporations hold patents on their inventions. Farmers in developing nations have little resources. How can they afford these patented products? Global governments need to seriously address the problem.
Governments also need to address issues such as a framework for testing genetically modified foods, funding research in the public sector, and educating the public better about agricultural science and technology. Most people in the "western" world are urbanites and they don't know what it takes to feed the world. These people can afford to buy expensive "organic" food and to criticize genetically modified food. They pressure governments to ban genetically modified foods and that could be disastrous for developing nations.
What do you see for the Green Revolution in this century?
Borlaug: The Green Revolution is an ongoing continuum. Millions of people are currently undernourished in the world. The world population for 2025, at a medium fertility rate, is projected to be about 8.3 billion people. I calculate that we will need an additional one billion tons of grain by then. We have to increase yields to feed these people — more bushels per acre, more tons per hectare. Higher yields are especially important now due to spreading urbanization, which takes away agricultural land. We will need to use both conventional breeding and biotechnology methods to meet the challenges of this century.

- Style: Belgian IPA
- Bitterness: 60 IBU
- Malts: Not provided
- Hops: Warrior, Columbus, Amarillo
- Sampled: 12 oz. bottle
Description: "Raging Bitch was brewed in commemoration of our 20th anniversary. It quickly became one of the hottest craft brews of 2010. And once you've let a Bitch out of its cage, there's no controlling it. Raging Bitch became part of our regular Canis Major lineup in 2011." — Flying Dog Brewery
Random thoughts: I had a quick taste of Raging Bitch last fall at a Beer Bloggers Conference. I enjoyed it and wanted to re-visit it as part of my IPAs Gone Wild! series. If you haven't already noticed, Flying Dog features some very interesting label artwork. In March, Flying Dog sued the Michigan State Liquor Commission for banning Raging Bitch based on its provocative label.
The tasting: Golden orange in color (hazy) with a huge frothy off-white head that dissipated slowly, leaving lacing all over the glass. Spicy aroma of clove, black pepper, and coriander. The aroma reminds me of a Belgian Golden or Wit. The flavor starts with grapefruit hops, citrus hops, and slightly sweet caramel malt. It's followed by black pepper and clove. The spices are more potent in aroma than they are in flavor. A bit of alcohol is noticeable in the middle. Raging Bitch is medium bodied, with an effervescent mouth feel. The bitter grapefruit hops kick into high gear in the finish. The alcohol is very well concealed!
Rating: 4 star. Really Good! I want this again! This beer is an amazing combination of two styles. In aroma, it's all Belgian. In flavor, it leans heavily towards IPA. I appreciate how it balances characteristics of each style in distinct way, without muddling them together. If you like IPAs and spicy Belgian ales, give this one a try!
Have you tried Raging Bitch or any other Flying Dog beers? What do you think of the label artwork?

As the Sugar Plum Fairy in George Balanchine's The Nutcracker, New York City Ballet dancer Darci Kistler captivated audiences with her charming, yet innocent, performing quality and grace. Her sparkling performances gave her the status of the "It" Sugar Plum Fairy.
Born: June 4, 1964
Hometown: Riverside, California
Darci Kistler received her early training from Irina Kosmovska at Riverside Ballet Arts in southern California. In 1979, she was selected to study at Balanchine's School of American Ballet.
Most Famous For:
Dancing the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy in the New York City Ballet's 1993 film version of The Nutcracker. Her long, slender body, effortless charm, strong technique, and genuine personality made her perfect for the role. She became the successor to Suzanne Farrell, George Balanchine's muse, and was awarded many roles, including leading roles in Balanchine's Jewels ("Diamonds"), Agon, Prodigal Son, and Symphony in C. She always danced with confidence, and added depth to many of her signature roles.
Fun Facts:

Katherine moved to Switzerland from Ohio in 2008 to be an au pair.
The United States was in the middle of its financial crisis and she figured "why not?" First order of business in Zurich was to get a bank account.
"I had gone to, I think it was, UBS the first time, and they had said that they didn't offer any bank accounts to Americans who had less than $250,000," she said. "My boyfriend, at the time, and I just laughed at that, like, 'she has to have a bank account. She's going to be living here.'"
Katherine was ultimately granted a young person's account at UBS. Now, years later, the graphic designer and her husband are having account troubles again, trying to get a mortgage.
"We got so far along in the mortgage process that people were telling us it was a good time to buy, and then it was only literally right before we were going to sign the contract that we were finding out, 'Wait a minute, she's American, this is a red flag, this is a problem.'"
David Kuenzi, founding partner at Thun Financial Advisors, a Madison, Wisc., firm that helps Americans abroad, said he had heard similar stories.
"I've heard stories where, the client withdrawing money or doing a transfer was told, 'Oh, your movement of money prompted us to do a review of your account and we realize you're an American, and we want you to leave.'"
Kuenzi said Swiss banks are reacting to U.S. investigators trying to catch the rich in what is often vilified as a tax haven. But they are also reacting to American legislation called FATCA, or the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. It will enter into effect next year and requires foreign banks to automatically send the IRS information on American clients, presumably to more easily find tax evaders.
"To use the weight of your financial and political power to enforce, in an extraterritorial way, that banks around the world act as tax agents for the U.S. government is preposterous," Kuenzi said.
Manuel Ammann, director of the Swiss Institute of Banking and Finance, said besides the possible legal problems, FATCA costs Swiss banks money, leading most banks, with the exception of a few large or specialized ones, to dump American clients.
"Banks have become increasingly aware of the fact that having U.S. clients often means to be in non-compliance with U.S. regulations, and banks are becoming increasingly risk averse in that sense," he said.
The Swiss bank, as thought of in American mythology, as a place to stash large sums of money, probably won't change all that much for the super-rich — in the short term. Most of the assets now affected are relatively small savings or investment accounts and mortgages.
But Ammann said with more and more regulation, cross-border business will be increasingly tricky for banks to handle. And he said the entire banking industry is taking a hard look at the good and bad of its future.
"Swiss banks still have a number of advantages to them, like the innovation capacity at the service level," Ammann said. "So from a competitive point of view I am not pessimistic with respect to Swiss banking in general, but the regulatory framework becomes increasingly difficult. "
And that means no one – not regulators, bank officials, or clients – knows exactly what Swiss banking will look like when the dust finally settles.
