The invading bee virus newly discovered in the U.S. is called Varroa Destructor Virus -1 VDV-1. First definitively identified in Europe in 2006, VDV-1 is carried by both honeybees and the tiny varroa mites that affect them. VDV-1 is related to a family of paralytic viruses that causes a breakdown of some membranes.
In silkworms the virus causes flaccid disease, which causes the worms to digest themselves internally.
The virus was discovered using a technology developed for battlefield detection of viruses. This technology, called Integrated Virus Detection System / Proteomic Mass Spectrometry, …

When a civilization begins to unravel, the first action is always internal. It is hidden, spiritual, and unobserved by the public. Brazilian philosopher Olavo de Carvalho recently pointed out that Western Civilization has produced more “educated” people than we have positions for. In fact, we’ve educated them beyond their intelligence, giving them tools too advanced for their character, putting a simple life of contented drudgery out of their reach. In other words, we’ve mass-produced a horde of impotent wits, angry because their princely education cannot produce for them a princely …

The Russian navy will make more use of Syrian ports as part of increased military presence in the Mediterranean, a Russian diplomat said on Wednesday.
The announcement comes as tensions rise between Moscow and the West over Russia’s role in Georgia. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad backed Russia’s recent offensive on Georgia in support of a separatist province during a visit to Russia last week.

Stretching from British Columbia to Northern California, the Cascadia Subduction Zone is the earthquake fault that gets all the attention in the Pacific Northwest, despite that — and partly because — it only moves every 300 to 500 years.
Quiet but gigantic in its potential to wreak havoc, this convergence of two tectonic plates is capable of producing a 9.0 earthquake, which would bring down buildings as far away as the Willamette Valley and send a roaring tsunami toward the Oregon Coast at jetliner speeds.
But other, lesser-known faults are in the …

Gustav is now a Category 1 hurricane with top sustained winds of 90 mph and a direct threat to Haiti. But forecasters at the National Hurricane Center warn this morning that the storm will soon be moving over very warm waters, and “most indications are that Gustav will be an extremely dangerous hurricane in the northwestern Caribbean Sea in a few days.”
Here is the current advisory. And here is the view from space.
The current forecast track sends Gustav into the Gulf of Mexico by Sunday morning. Surface waters there are …

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, completing a visit to the region today, has been pressing Israel to sign a document by the end of the year that would divide Jerusalem by offering the Palestinians a state in Israel’s capital city as well as in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, according to top diplomatic sources involved in the talks.
The Israeli team, led by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, has been negotiating the division of Jerusalem – despite claims to the contrary – but would rather conclude an agreement on paper by …

Pro-family leader Matt Barber says the “radical San Francisco-style social experimentation” promoted by Barack Obama and the Democratic Party is not what is best for the country.
The Denver Post reports 358 openly homosexual delegates are in Denver for the Democratic National Convention, the largest number ever to take part in a major party national convention. A special DNC program called “Pride in the Party” was set up to recruit more homosexual delegates and homosexual delegates of color.
Matt Barber, director for cultural affairs with Liberty Counsel, says radical homosexual activists have …

The reports of 35 more patients falling to the mystery fever in Kanpur Dehat villages on Tuesday put the administration on tenterhooks.
While senior officials miserably failed to confirm the toll as teams of state health department and experts of National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme, who were rushed to Kanpur by the Centre to collect samples, too failed to shed light on the disease.
The deadly virus has, so far, claimed 210 lives across 350 villages of Akbarpur, Rasoolabad, Bhognipur and Sikandara tehsils of Kanpur Dehat, leaving villagers panicky. While they …
