* U.S.: Rest in peace Norman Borlaug; the Nobel Prize-winning scientist and father of the "green revolution" in agriculture died Saturday at the age of 95.* Pakistan: On a slightly related note, at least fourteen people died in a stampede while trying to obtain giveaways of free flour.
* China: China filed a case with the World Trade Organization against U.S. trade penalties on Chinese tires.
