UN Dispatch UN in deadlock with Syria over chemical inspectors Talks with President Bashar al-Assad's government about sending United Nations chemical weapons inspectors to Syria have stalled, writes Louis Charbonneau.

United Press International (4/10)      Method will boost supply of anti-malaria drug U.S. researchers are using baker's yeast in a fast and inexpensive method for producing an ingredient in artemisinin, a potent anti-malaria drug. Cost has affected the drug's availability.

Coosje Hoogendoorn of the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan says, "If properly managed, this highly versatile resource could spur economic growth in a world export market, valued at $2 billion in 2011, reduce deforestation and cut carbon emissions."
