Huffington Post: Seed Giants Sue U.S. Farmers Over Genetically Modified Seed Patents In Shocking Numbers: Report

Posted: 13 Feb 2013 10:53 AM PST

The Supreme Court will hear arguments Feb. 19 in "Bowman v. Monsanto Co.," a landmark court battle that has pitted farmer Vernon Hugh Bowman against the international agriculture corporation over the issue of seed patents. In anticipation, the Center for Food Safety and the Save Our Seeds campaigning groups released a report Tuesday detailing similar cases, titled "Seed Giants vs. U.S. Farmers."

According to the report, Monsanto has alleged seed patent infringement in 144 lawsuits against 410 farmers and 56 small farm businesses in at least 27 U.S. states as of January of 2013. Monsanto, DuPont and Syngenta together hold 53 percent of the global commercial seed market, which the report says has led to price increases for seeds -- between 1995 and 2011, the average cost of planting one acre of soybeans rose 325 percent and corn seed prices went up 259 percent.

Seed patents are a type of biological patent, which are legally protected inventions or discoveries in biology. In the case of Monsanto and other major corporations, that often means patents on genetically modified seeds. In recent years, these and other companies have taken farmers to court for alleged seed patent infringement -- meaning they planted seeds without paying for them.

Huffington Post: Fund Helps Navy SEAL Who Shot Osama Bin Laden And Doesn't Have Insurance For Family

Posted: 13 Feb 2013 10:54 AM PST

Though Esquire was forced to backtrack on its original claim that the military completely abandoned the shooter who killed Osama bin Laden, the war hero does need a considerable amount of help and a fund has been set up to offer it up.

In his explosive feature about how the Navy SEAL who killed bin Laden has fared since leaving the military, writer Phil Bronstein initially stated that the shooter was left without benefits after he decided to retire before completing 20 years of service. Stars and Stripes, in a reaction piece, however, pointed out that the former serviceman is eligible for five years of free healthcare through the VA. These details were included in the print version of the Esquire story but were left out of the online piece.

But these benefits do not cover the shooter's wife and children, which is why a Seattle radio talk show program decided to set up a fund for him.
