Watching over the world's oceans
Article Abstract:
There is a broad support for the development of a tsunami warning system in the Indian Ocean in the weeks following the catastrophic Asian tsunami. However, the next large tsunami is unlikely to occur in the Indian basin and hence, a tsunami warning system should be developed in the context of a global ocean observing system that is regularly used for related hazards such as storm surges, and at the same time provides useful data to various users.

Don't rely on Uncle Sam
Article Abstract:
Sygenta, a US subsidiary of the Swiss firm from 2001 until 2004, has allowed American farmers to plant 15,000 hectares of corn called as Bt10 that had been modified with an unapproved version of a gene from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have collectively failed to respond to this incident.
