...that. We just didn’t get it done today.” It will be the big plays surrendered by the Harvard defense that will be remembered from Saturday, and not the big-time play of O’Hagan. “Big plays will kill you and they did today,” junior linebacker Glenn Dorris said. But it wasn’t because of the quarterback, who, despite the loss, played mistake-free football for the first time since putting up 28 points during a win last year against Dartmouth.

...Needing to kill, but hoping to be caught, Erica waves clues about her crimes in the face of a sympathetic detective (Terrence Howard). He's good at his job, but she's better: with a little legwork, she tracks down her husband's killers.

The bites of the mites don't kill the bees, but they produce open wounds that leave the insects prone to further infections. Tracheal mites, which attack the respiratory system, are also a suspect...
What the Doubters Say: If Varroa is the sole cause, why did CCD not appear until late 2006? It's more likely that Varroa is working in concert with other parasites or pathogens to wear down bees' immune systems until the slightest thing can kill them. One reason to believe this: many hives have experienced CCD without the presence of the vampire mite...
