Farming a way out of poverty: forgotten crops and marginal populations in Asia and the Pacific
This regional workshop was held to discuss the findings and implications from 16 case studies dealing with the role of secondary crops in rural poverty alleviation. Part of these case studies were based on field results obtained in the framework of the project "Identification of pulling factors for enhancing the sustainable development of diverse agriculture in selected Asian countries (AGRIDIV)" implemented by CAPSA in collaboration with eight countries. Other cases were developed in a co-operative research effort with other countries and regional/international organizations in order to achieve a wider presentation of the diversity that characterizes the Asia-Pacific region.

TEL AVIV (Mar. 2)
Israeli security services are investigating the background of an organization called "The Arab Revolutionary Movement" which claimed responsibility for placing an explosive charge in a bus traveling from Beersheba to Jerusalem via Hebron. The bomb was discovered by an alert passenger who notified the driver and it was removed safely by a police sapper.
Leaflets attached to the parcel that contained the bomb said it was planted by the Arab Revolutionary Movement. Such an organization was not known of until now. The bomb was discovered yesterday morning near Hebron. A bus passenger gave police a description of an Arab who boarded the bus near Hebron and left it a short while later, leaving the parcel behind.

Time has run out on efforts to reform California's milk pricing system this year. Legislation (AB 2730) introduced late last week will not be pursued this legislative session, according to state officials.
The bill, put forward by California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Secretary Karen Ross and sponsored by Assembly Member Susan Eggman (D-Stockton) and State Sen. Christine Galgiani (D-Stockton), would have moved California's Class 4 milk away from minimum pricing formulas toward "self-regulating marketing practices." (Read California considers Class 4 milk pricing changes.)
However, in a statement issued Aug. 27, Ross said not enough progress had been made since the reform framework took shape earlier this month.
"I established the Dairy Future Task Force to see if we could find commonality amongst two sides that have been separated for quite some time," she said. "Through this process, a framework came together that would have meant substantial financial relief for producers and flexibility to processors that would have benefited the whole industry. While the timing was not ideal, I was compelled to see if we could get something done this year. Since the Aug. 13 Task Force meeting, a tremendous amount of progress has been made, but not enough. So we will not be pursuing reform legislation this year."
Calgiani, chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee, said she remained "committed to remain engaged until a solution is found that will establish a fair and equitable milk pricing system in California."

Episode Title: "The Consultant"
Writer: Christine Lavaf
Director: Jeannot Szwarc
Previously on "Fringe":
Episode 4.17: "Everything In Its Right Place"
In the alternate universe, Lincoln Lee (Seth Gabel) watches the funeral for his counterpart from a distance alongside the alternate Astrid Farnsworth (Jasika Nicole) aka Kick-Astrid. The alternate Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) or Fauxlivia tries to comfort Alt. Lincoln's parents by promising justice for their son. Hours later, Fauxlivia visits a holding cell containing the alternate Nina Sharp (Blair Brown) or Meana and she tries to cut a deal with her in exchange for the man pulling the strings, David Robert Jones (Jared Harris). But Meana laughs off the offer and tells Fauxlivia that things in her world are about to get much worse.
In our world, an executive named Brian Bauer (David Lewis) browbeats his hapless employees in a business meeting before he seems to telekinetically rise and then fatally crash into the floor. Soon enough, the Fringe team of our world is on the scene as Dr. Walter Bishop (John Noble) and his son Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson) note that Bauer's injuries appear to have been sustained from a plane crash. Upon learning that two other men suffered similar demises, the Fringe team reaches out to the other universe and they discover that all three of the victims' counterparts died in a plane crash at the same time on that world.
Meanwhile, Fauxlivia goes to Colonel Phillip Broyles (Lance Reddick) and gets him to sign off on her surveillance request on 108 possible moles within her Fringe division, unaware that the Colonel is the mole. The Colonel signs off on her request shortly before Walter travels through the Bridge to act as a special consultant on the case. At first, Walter is delighted to be in the other world… until he is grimly reminded of the damage he caused from his first visit. With Lincoln and Fauxlivia by his side, Walter soon demonstrates that someone linked the three men who died in the plane crash to their counterparts in our world.
Walter also admits that this stunt far exceeds his experiments with the late William Bell. Walter speculates that a device was planted on the plane to accomplish this, but since it crashed in the ocean the theory can't be proven. Elsewhere, Jones is briefed by one of his operatives on the success of the first device and he greenlights a second attempt. Jones then drops in on Colonel Broyles at home, where he meets the Colonel's wife, Diane Broyles (Karen Holness) and their son, Christopher Broyles (Curtis Harris); whom Jones is healing in exchange for the Colonel's cooperation.
In our world, Jones' operative leaves the device in the back of a cab. And when a woman gets in the back, the device soon activates and kills her and the driver along with their counterparts in the alternate world. To coordinate between the two Fringe teams, both Astrids reunite at the Bridge and relay information between their respective teams. It's Peter who finds the device in the cab and discovers that it contains amphilicite, linking it to Jones. Back at the alternate Fringe headquarters, Walter is crankier than usual over his inability to decipher what Jones is attempting to do.
Fauxlivia offers to let Walter stay with her that night and Walter remains behind for a moment to apologize to the Colonel for his outburst. The Colonel asks Walter if he would save Peter again if he knew what it would lead to for both worlds. Walter admits that his answer would have been "no" until he got to know his adult son. Outside the office, Kick-Astrid informs Fauxlivia that none of the 108 can be tied to Jones. The hunt for the traitor has hit a dead end. Hours later, the Colonel is summoned to meet Jones and given a device to attach to the strange machine powering the Bridge.
When the Colonel points out that the Bridge is healing his world, Jones curtly reminds him who is healing his son. That night, Walter finds Fauxlivia distraught and more than a little drunk as she tries to deal with her inability to find the mole. Walter treats her gently and even makes some eggs for her while invoking Sherlock Holmes and pointing out that even the Colonel should be considered a suspect. The next morning, Fauxlivia tries out the theory on Meana and says that they've already arrested the Colonel.
Meana confirms the Colonel's complicity by saying that he's just a pawn. Fauxlivia shoots back that Meana is also a pawn and she shouldn't expect Jones to save her. As Lincoln and Fauxlivia attempt to figure out how to prove the Colonel's treason, Kick-Astrid informs them that the Colonel has gone off the grid and can not be found. Tracking him through his ID card, Lincoln and Fauxlivia race to the Bridge in a desperate attempt to keep the Colonel from sabotaging the machine. But when they get there, they are met by both versions of Broyles. And the Broyles from our world says that his counterpart has just turned himself in.
Fauxlivia looks stunned as the Colonel apologizes for the death of her partner. The Colonel is soon locked away in the same area as Meana. At the Bridge, Walter and Fauxlivia part warmly, while Lincoln elects to remain behind again to help stop Jones and stay close to Fauxlivia. Back in our world, Peter and Olivia are told by Walter that the device that the Colonel was told to attach to the machine could have been used by Jones to collapse both universes simultaneously, destroying everything and everyone.
It's somewhat disheartening that "Fringe" is delivering great television week after week, but the ratings just continue to slip. At some point, even the faint dream of a shortened fifth season won't be feasible if "Fringe" can't hold on to an audience on Friday nights.
That would be a real tragedy, because "Fringe" continues to fire on all cylinders after a brief midseason creative hiccup. The story of "The Consultant" was engaging, but the real triumph is in the characters themselves and how they interact with each other. Walter's joy at seeing Olivia and Peter together has transformed him into an almost completely different person than he was at the beginning of this season. Remember the Walter who was scared of his shadow and reflective surfaces? It's hard to picture that guy embracing his adult son and eagerly traveling to the other universe.
If the Bridge is healing the two worlds, then Peter's very presence has slowly healed Walter. He's not the same Walter that he was before the timeline changed, but he's close enough. And the change in Walter gave him the capacity to relate to Fauxlivia almost like a father figure. As much as it would have been hilarious for Walter to mention Fauxlivia's "Vagenda" again, their scene together in her apartment had an unexpected warmth. Also, the visual of Walter wearing Fauxlivia's bathrobe kept making me laugh.
"The Consultant" also marked one of the few times this season that both Fringe teams have worked together concurrently on the same case; which allows for some interesting pairings. It was a treat to see both Astrids together again and I loved Kick-Astrid's minor freakout when she thought that her counterpart had illegally smuggled coffee into her world. But in a world without much coffee, are coffee machines really going to be that easy to find?
The team of Lincoln, Fauxlivia and Walter was also a lot of fun to watch, but the episode seemed like a missed opportunity to pair Walter up with his counterpart, Walternate. Actually, it seems like the minor role of Walternate this season was a deliberate choice by the "Fringe" writing team. Keep in mind, this season is almost over and we've only seen Walternate three times. And to paraphrase Walter's Sherlock Holmes analogy, that absence may prove to be very significant.
Like almost everyone else, I had Colonel Broyles pegged as one of Jones' shapeshifters. But it was a smarter choice to actually have the Colonel betray his team for the sake of his son. I remember the Colonel's son, Christopher from an episode last season in which he was gravely ill after being tortured years ago by a killer; but this episode didn't bother to explain what it was that Christopher was being healed from. Admittedly, some of the scenes between the Colonel and his son were a little mawkish and emotionally manipulative, but they still worked and allowed us to understand his motivations.
It seems like Colonel Broyle is destined for tragedy in both timelines. In the original chain of events, he was killed and dismembered for aiding Olivia's escape. And now he rots in a cell next to Meana Sharp. For everyone but Peter, "Fringe" can get away with writing out at least one version of themselves because there's a spare in the other universe. But the way that the last few episodes have played out, it feels like the writers are starting to wrap up the series and they're hedging their bets if it doesn't get picked up.
I have a hard time believing that Jones would go through the effort of creating evolved animal men and shapeshifters just to destroy both universes. There has to be more to his endgame than just that. Regardless, Jones has been a better villain this season than he was during his initial stint on the series in season one.
Next week's episode looks like it's going to be wild. A trip to the future and a war with the Observers?! Awesome.

Perhaps it was the flush of newlywed passion. Or the desire to don Jezebel red after bridal white. Whatever the reason, brand-new wives Jennifer Aniston and Debra Messing wore strikingly similar strapless red gowns to the 52nd annual Emmy Awards, held Sept. 10 at L.A.'s Shrine Auditorium. "I didn't plan ahead," insisted the Prada-clad Friends nominee, accompanied by hubby Brad Pitt (sporting a jaunty necklace that spelled out "JEN" in beads). Will & Grace nominee Messing offered a simple salutation to the designer who created her wedding and Emmy gowns: "Thank you, Miss [Vera] Wang."
If some gowns looked the same, this year's show didn't—thanks to punchy sketches from first-time host Garry Shandling, a record sweep by new series The West Wing ("We got the championship!" exulted star Martin Sheen), an emotional homage to Spin City's recently retired Michael J. Fox (best comedy actor), and the highest Emmy viewership—21.6 million—since 1986. Especially blown away were Once and Again star Sela Ward, who won best drama actress ("I was really shocked!") and West Winger Allison Janney, who won best supporting drama actress. "First it looked like I was doing the worst double take ever," declared the Pamela Dennis-garbed Janney, "and then it looked like I was going to throw up."
Amid the parade of flashbulb-popping fashions, the color red emerged as the night's major trend. "I wanted to match the red carpet," quipped Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, aflame in a body-hugging Valentino. (Joked husband John Stamos: "I told her I saw her in something pink with beads, but Rebecca wasn't happy about me getting into her fashion. She said that was a little swish of me.") Also riding the crimson tide: Ally McBeal's Calista Flockhart (ruffled in Alberta Ferretti), Frasier guest star Jean Smart (looking just that in Escada) and Saturday Night Live's Molly Shannon (in a strapless Anne Bowen gown). Even stars not wearing red sported a scarlet hue, courtesy of a blazing sun overhead. "I'm very warm," admitted Will & Grace nominee Eric McCormack. "My shirt is soaked."
Likely feeling much cooler was Geena Davis, who bared just about all in a tissuepaper-thin Pamela Dennis while feigning surprise at its transparency: "No one told me—oops!" Sex and the City's Kristin Davis was also well-ventilated, noting that her gown's panty-line-phobic designer, Richard Tyler, "forbids me to wear underwear." Davis also confessed to a minor fashion crisis before the ceremony: "I got body lotion on my dress right before we left!" (Quick-thinking costar Cynthia Nixon came to the rescue with a baby wipe.) More relaxed was Frasier's Randolph Duke-clad Jane Leeves, who declared, "It's easier getting dressed when you're pregnant. You don't have to worry I about holding in your stomach."
After the three-hour ceremony, the evening's luminaries did the requisite party thing. Noshing at HBO's fete at Spago, nominee Sarah Jessica Parker revealed the secret to her sleek, pulled-back do—a well-hidden clip—before giggling with presenters Julianna Margulies and Lucy Liu, while Tuesdays with Morrie winner Hank Azaria (recently split from wife Helen Hunt) savored the celeb quotient: "How many nights do you get to have movie stars come up and hug you?" Law & Order's Jesse L. Martin, who turned up with costar Angie Harmon, captured the moment. "We're going to shake it and break it," proclaimed a buoyant Martin, "and then we're going to go home."

URUMQI, China — Sobbing Muslim women scuffled with riot police, and Chinese men wielding steel pipes, meat cleavers and sticks rampaged through the streets Tuesday as ethnic tensions worsened in China's oil-rich Xinjiang territory, prompting the president to cut short a summit trip abroad Wednesday.
The new violence in Xinjiang's capital erupted only a few hours after the city's top officials told reporters the streets in Urumqi were returning to normal following a riot that killed 156 people Sunday. The officials also said more than 1,000 suspects had been rounded up since the spasm of attacks by Muslim Uighurs against Han Chinese, the ethnic majority.
President Hu Jintao, who was in Italy to take part in a Group of Eight meeting today, departed early to return home to deal with the outbreak of violence in Xinjiang, the Foreign Ministry said on its Web site.
The chaos returned when hundreds of young Han men seeking revenge began gathering on sidewalks with kitchen knives, clubs, shovels and wooden poles. They spent most of the afternoon marching through the streets, smashing windows of Muslim restaurants and trying to push past police cordons protecting minority neighborhoods. Riot police fought them back with volleys of tear gas and a massive show of force.
At one point, the mob chased a boy who looked like he was a Uighur. The youth, who appeared to be about 12, climbed a tree, and the crowd tried to whack his legs with their sticks as the terrified boy cried. He was eventually allowed to leave unharmed as the rioters ran off to focus on another target.
About 200 Uighur women protesting in the street were quickly sandwiched by hundreds of police on both ends of the road, along with trucks with water cannons. Some women screamed at the security forces and jostled the men, who were armed with assault rifles, tear gas guns, shields and sticks. The crowd dispersed after a standoff that lasted 90 minutes.
Uighurs have said this week's rioting was triggered by the June 25 deaths of Uighur factory workers in a brawl in the southern Chinese city of Shaoguan.
State-run media have said two workers died, but many Uighurs believe more were killed and said the incident was an example of how little the government cared about them.

The majority of the song is excellent! I have two complaints, though:
1) The start-up (while certainly unique) is a bit weak, IMO. When you're working out or showing off your music collection to your friends, nothing kills it like a slow start-up. Still, this isn't as big a problem as #2.
2) What's up with 1:20? The slow-down makes the song feel inconsistent. Either keep the song in the style of 0:17 to 1:20, or keep it in the style of 1:20 to end. Don't mix and match them. Consistency is god in music.
That aside, very nicely done!
Thanks i will keep that in mind.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
As you can see..
I used it in 2 of my games, so! it's obviously worthy!
Love that theme! FF7 is really epic, you should do a "Heartless AngeL"
Rated 5 / 5 stars
At the start it was eh like ssj said, but it got really good about the 0:16 mark
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
The beginning didn't hook me right away.
But after the beginning, I really started to like it. With my injured neck, I was tempted to bob my head to it, but I didn't in fear of not being able to get my head back up again!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Pretty awesome
Once it finally gets started. At first, I thought, is this all the song is? Then finally it starts 16 seconds in. Not that it's that bad, but beware, some Newgrounders will zero bomb and leave if it takes to long to get started with the really epic part. Also, the beginning is just awful if you ask me. It then suddenly gets epic, but for those first 15 seconds, my cursor is hovering over the "My ears are bleeding a little" number 1. I waited of course, and had it taken way too long, like 30 seconds plus, I'd probably fast forward just to be sure I wasn't missing anything, so I wouldn't actually have voted bad unless the whole song was like that, but man, you best be careful, or people will 0/0 you. See there's this thing called ADHD, which, when combined with the power of the internet, reduces a persons attention span to 10 seconds, so if you don't catch them fast, you won't catch them at all, and you'll get hurt (or rather your score will). Wow, I spent WAY longer than I intended on that one criticism. Actually, aside from that, the song is epic and full of win, so no other complaints.

There aren't a lot of players like Paul Pierce, guys who give their all to one franchise, never have a tiff with a coach, never find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time and never, ever consider demanding a trade when the going gets tough.
There aren't a lot of players like that anymore, because Pierce isn't one of those players, either.
Ever since the epic title run of 2008 and the valiant end to his Celtics career, Pierce has often been portrayed as the guy who "did it right." Former coach Doc Rivers loved to say how Pierce "could have gone somewhere else, but he chose to stay here and win here," presenting Pierce as the anti-LeBron James or anti-Carmelo Anthony. It fits a narrative and makes Pierce out to be the good guy, so most of the folks associated with the Celtics shrug and go along with it. Hey, nobody complains about inaccuracies when being praised.
Now Pierce is gone, though not by his own choice, and a lot of people seem to be wringing their hands over the new face of the franchise. Rajon Rondo is difficult to deal with on a day-to-day basis, unpredictable when an official's call or the course of play goes against his liking and, presumably, not worthy to pick up Pierce's mantle as The Next Great Celtic. It would all be worrisome, for sure, if the Pierce portrayal were entirely true.
In a way, the concept of Pierce as the noble star who rebuffed offers to play elsewhere and stubbornly remained with one team out of loyalty is somewhat accurate. Pierce never actually, truly wanted to leave Boston — at least not after the first few years, when the lifelong Lakers fan chuckled at the irony every time he pulled on that green jersey. His preference, he has said, was to win a championship in Boston. With Antoine Walker, Kenny Anderson and Eric Williams, Pierce came a lot closer to doing that than he's often given credit for, taking the Celtics within two games of the NBA Finals in 2002. His early years in Boston were not without discord, though, and that is often forgotten when telling his story.
There were early growing pains with coach Rick Pitino and the stabbing incident in 2000. He had his reported clashes with Jim O'Brien and even Rivers, and by late 2007 trading Pierce seemed as likely a path for Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge as the two trades for Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen that he would pull off that summer. A lot of the same fans who indignantly yell, "Trade Rondo!" now were once yelling "Trade Paul!" They know who they are, although they will never admit it.
The thing is, Pierce grew up. We all watched it. As he aged into his 30s, he spent less time at nightclubs, which invite trouble for rich, high-profile celebrities like professional athletes. He didn't throw a temper tantrum when he failed to get the ball on the final possession, although he still wanted the ball in such situations. He became "The Captain." He went from being a young man to the man. One day, he will come back to TD Garden to raise his No. 34 to the rafters.
This is not to say Rondo will follow Pierce's path. Rondo is not Pierce. His career trajectory thus far is very different than the first seven years of Pierce's career. It is a virtual certainty Rondo will never match Pierce's level of excellence in his prime, and that is nothing to be ashamed of. For all the criticism directed at Pierce in the first half of his career — that he was a selfish one-on-one player who would never win anything — much of it was unwarranted, just as much as the criticism Rondo receives now is based as much on misunderstanding as on actual fact.
People change, and with them perceptions change. Pierce is universally beloved among Celtics fans now. Many of them will even find themselves outwardly rooting for the Brooklyn Nets next season, just because their old favorite, Pierce, will be chasing a second ring. As Pierce's tenure in Boston comes to a close, his legacy is not that of the loyal star who always did what was right. His legacy is that sometimes greatness takes time to develop, and that the package it comes in may not be obvious from the start.

Athens sees rioters take to the streets after an unpopular austerity bill is passed, while City trade groups express their disapproval of a Europe-wide financial transactions tax.
Asian stocks continue their longest run of weekly gains since 2005 after Greece approves fresh austerity measures, while the yen falls on news that the Japanese economy has contracted, according to Bloomberg.
Japanese camera maker Olympus posts a ¥33.09 billion (£269m) loss for the nine months to the end of December as it continues to battle the accounting scandal that caused its share price to plummet, the BBC reports.
Five City trade groups, including the Association of British Insurers (ABI) and the British Bankers' Association (BBA), write in the Daily Telegraph that the European Commission's analysis of the benefits of a financial transactions tax is "flawed".
Disorder erupts in Athens after the Greek parliament approves a highly unpopular austerity bill to help the beleaguered nation secure a €130 billion (£108.9 billion) bailout package from the international community, according to Reuters.
