...study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) shows that the causes of CCD may be more varied than scientists expect. The bees may be dying not from a single toxin or disease but rather from an assault directed by a collection of pathogens. A research team led by entomologist May Berenbaum at the University of Illinois compared the whole genome of honeybees that came from hives that had suffered from CCD with hives that were healthy. The sick bees exhibited genetic damage that could account for the die-off, and that damage indicated that they might...
Should we expect men to cede some control over an economy they have so thoroughly messed up? No. We have no examples of that ever having happened.

With crops failing, food prices will go up everywhere, pushing up inflation. Mohammed Nadim, a vendor in Hoshiarpur, says the wholesale price of his cartful of sweet corn, red cabbage and peppers has tripled over the last few months. Electricity production also will be lower in areas...
...visa stamps after visiting in-laws in Jordan. She told TIME she didn?t know if she would be able to fly home: the return leg of her ticket departs from Israel?s Ben-Gurion airport. "We have made it quite known to the Israeli Government... that we expect all American citizens to be treated the same regardless of their national origin," U.S. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters this week. "These kinds of restrictions we consider unacceptable...
