 GRAIN | Agricultural research for whom? | 2005 was a very good year for the biotech food industry
Think of it this way: when all crops on earth are genetically contaminated, then the seed companies that own the patented seeds will be in a good position to begin enforcing their patent rights.
It is for cases exactly like this that the U.S. has spent 30 years creating the WTO (world trade organization) -- to settle disputes over "intellectual property rights" (such as patents) in secret tribunals held in Geneva, Switzerland behind closed doors without any impartial observers allowed to attend.
Unlike people, corporations cannot die, so our children or our grandchildren may find themselves held in thrall by two or three corporations that have seized legal control of much of the world's food supply by getting courts (backed by the threat of force, as all courts ultimately are) to enforce their intellectual property rights.

 Mem It Was A Very Good Year
On “It Was A Very Good Year”, Mem takes source material from perhaps the most popular version of a standard American classic of the same title from the early 1960’s.
Consciously or not, It Was A Very Good Year, by Polish dronescaper Mem (aka Kamil Antosiewicz) draws attention to this potential gap between the artist's intent and the audience's use.
Mem has stretched the maudlin croon from Frank Sinatra's rendition of "It Was A Very Good Year" into a frozen drone that adeptly reflects the plasticity of Asmus Tietchens as well as the sculpted infinity of Charlemagne Palestine.

I was browsing quickly through a bunch of references, researching thoughts for this year-end column, when all of a sudden -- perhaps due to the accumulated effect of all that reading -- it hit me: This was a very good year, perhaps even an exceptionally good year, for storage.
At the end of 2004, customers are better off than they were a year ago because they can now choose from a larger variety of sizable and dependable storage solutions.
I also expect the battle around storage management applications to rekindle next year (did it ever die down?), with some of the big themes that were hinted at in 2004 -- such as compliance and grid computing -- becoming workable and widespread.

Best Year has something to do with atmosphere, ambient glow, and with the time of your life when you felt most alive and at home in the world.
Best Year tends to be the year when you were young and strong, and had just made the giddy discovery that you could commit great follies and survive them — the discovery that you were, for practical purposes and for the indefinite future, immortal.
A good year must have time to marinate in the memory and to establish its place in the comparative scheme of years.

 LCRA: Feature Story: 2004 was a very good year for Texas water resources   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The state logged 2004 as its third wettest year on record, with a statewide average of 40.06 inches for the year, less than two inches below the all-time average of 41.93 inches recorded in 1919, according to the National Weather Service.
For a state that averages about 28 inches in a typical year, last year's rains had a dramatic effect, recharging aquifers, filling reservoirs and minimizing, if not eliminating, the need for local burn bans.
The average for the state's rainfall over the last 10 years is even higher: 29.16 inches, a 4 percent increase over the 110-year average.
