GUARDIAN - North Korea demands withdrawal of UN sanctions as precondition to talks, Apr 18, 2013
"orth Korea has issued a detailed statement on its terms for dialogue with the United States, after weeks of tensions. The demands from the North's top military body include the withdrawal of all UN sanctions imposed due to Pyongyang's nuclear and missile tests, and a US pledge not to engage in "nuclear war practice" with the South. It said denuclearisation of the peninsula should begin with the withdrawal of US weapons. Seoul was swift to dismiss the North's conditions as incomprehensible and illogical. The foreign ministry spokesman Cho Tai-young said: "We again strongly urge North Korea to stop this kind of insistence that we cannot totally understand and go down the path of a wise choice." The Japanese news agency Kyodo said the prime minister, Shinzo Abe, had called for increased pressure on the North."

FOX NEWS - Antibiotic development for 'nightmare bacteria' alarmingly slow, Apr 18, 2013
"Only seven new drugs are in development for the treatment of infections caused by an especially nasty class of superbugs that include E. coli and CRE, the so-called "nightmare bacteria" that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention raised alarms about last month. The data come from the latest report by the Infectious Diseases Society of America, or IDSA, released on Thursday, which has been tracking the rising number of bacteria that resist even the most potent antibiotics. "We're on the precipice of returning to the dark days before antibiotics enabled safer surgery, chemotherapy and the care of premature infants," said Dr. Helen Boucher, an infectious diseases expert at Tufts Medical Center in Boston and a member of IDSA's board, whose report was published online in Clinical Infectious Diseases."

DAWN - Musharraf’s farmhouse to be declared sub-jail: sources, Apr 18, 2013
"SLAMABAD: Former president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf’s farmhouse in the suburbs of Islamabad is likely to be declared a sub-jail in the wake of a high level meeting at the Presidency on Thursday night. The decision, to declare the Chuck Shehzad farmhouse as a sub-jail, is to end the bizarre cat and mouse chase to arrest the former military ruler. However, there was no official word from the government yet confirming the decision. Sources told DawnNews that the meeting at the Presidency was attended by caretaker interior and law ministers who briefed President Asif Ali Zardari about the situation arising out of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) decision to cancel the bail of Musharraf in Benazir Bhutto murder case."

IRISH EXAMNER - Obama pays tribute to Boston, Apr 18, 2013
"President Barack Obama declared “there is a piece of Boston in me” as he paid tribute to a city shaken by what he has called an act of terror. He said: “Every one of us stands with you.” Mr Obama addressed an interfaith service in the aftermath of Monday’s twin blasts that killed three and injured more 170 people at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. He said a day of beauty was shattered when a celebration became a tragedy. He said Boston gathered “to reaffirm that the spirit of this city is undaunted”. He declared: “You will run again!” Of the perpetrator, he said: “We will find you.” Earlier Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the FBI wants to speak to two men seen in at least one video from the marathon but she said she wasn’t calling them suspects. Without providing details of the men’s appearance or what the video shows, Ms Napolitano told the House Homeland Security Committee today that “there is some video that raised the question” of two men the FBI would like to interview but said she wouldn’t describe them as suspects."
