Clbo Dredd: So Dumb, So Fun
 Handing a defeat to the NAACP, a federal jury Wednesday cleared 45 gun manufacturers and distributors of allegations their marketing practices have stoked violence in black and Hispanic neighborhoods.The jury deliberated for five days before reaching its verdict in a closely watched case that now goes to the judge for a final decision. The panel was unable to reach a verdict regarding 23 other defendants in the lawsuit, brought by the NAACP.The lawsuit alleged the firearms industry knew corrupt dealers were supplying their product stanley cup s to criminals in minority comm stanley cup unities and did nothing to stop it.Rather than monetary damages, the lawsuit sought to force distributors to restrict sales to dealers who have storefront outlets, prohibit sales to gun show dealers an stanley cup d limit individual purchasers to one handgun a month.The defendants and the gun industry argued that it would be unfair and unlawful to hold manufacturers liable for the criminal use of a legal product. They also said that legislatures - not courts - should set standards for sales.         Nobody wants to have someone selling to criminals,  James Dorr, attorney for Sturm, Ruger  Co., said during closing arguments.  This industry certainly doesn t. In an unusual but not unprecedented ruling, U.S. District Judge Jack Weinstein decided ahead of time that the jury would play only an advisory role, and that he would make the final decision in the case. Both sides will submit written arguments interpreting the jury s verdic Ywyw And now one freakin    huge explosion

But photographer Benoit Lapray  has been working for the past four or five years on a series showing superheroes in nature.     Lapray tells io9 it started when he was living in the French Alps, and he was walking in the mountains, and he got the image of Superman on a big rock, balanced in the air, and it worked immediately. The result was really powerful. Lapray realized  there was an evide stanley mugs nt link between superheroes and nature. Lapray creates these images by shooting natural landscapes, and taking pictures of the superheroes in his studio, and then combining them using Photoshop. He likes using Batman, because his black costume looks really impressive, and he is the perfect blend between humanity and nature: bat / man. He wants you to come away from these photos with an awareness that  82 stanley cup becher 20;everybody is fragile 鈥?even superheroes.

 State child welfare authorities have decided that the courts no longer need to oversee 34 children taken from a polygamous sect s ranch in west Texas.The action does not necessarily end Child Protective Services  involvement with the children, but it means officials believe they can be kept safe without court intervention, agency spokeswoman Marleigh Meisner said Friday.Child Protective Services filed papers in San Angelo on Thursday asking that the cases involving 10 families be dropped, and a judge agre stanley quencher ed. They represent the first children dropped from court oversight in the case.While the reasons vary, child welfare cases are typically dropped when investigators decide that there is no abuse or, if there is, that parents or another relative can ensure a child s safety, Meisner said.In April, Texas authorities swept roughly 440 children into foster care from the Yearning For Zion Ranch over abuse allegations. Two months later, the  stanley us state Supreme Court ordered the agency to return the children. The court said the action was overly broad, given the relatively limited evidence presented by the agency.        The agency has continued to investigate and asked parents to limit the children s contact with men accused of being involved in underage marr stanley cup iages.The custody cases are separate from the criminal investigation into allegations that men from the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which runs the YFZ Ranch, were marrying and having sex with underage gi Ndbl Couple Makes Up Headache To Hide Gun Wound
 Scientists say stanley termosar  that we should be on the lookout for purple planets, a possible sign of primordial extraterrestrial life. But what about the biosignatures of exoplanets that are dy stanley cup ing  A recent study concluded that it is indeed possible 鈥?we just have to recognize the signs.     https://gizmodo/why-scientists-need-to-search-for-alien-life-on-purple-1463585808 Astrobiologist Jack O ;Malley-James at the University of St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland and his colleagues are concerned about what habitable planets might look like in their old age. Furthermore, his team also wants to know how long we can expect to detect life on such a planet over the course of its habitable lifetime. To find the answers, O ;Malley-James ran some computer models of various climates and biospheres of possible exoplanets, including those approximately 2.8 billion years older than Earth. As their research notes, the diversity of life and population sizes would be significantly reduced during a planet   end-stage. The death of a planet   biosphere would commence with planets dying off, followed by rising temperatures and subsequent wearing away of silicon-loaded rocks known as silicates 鈥?an effect that w stanley cup ould increase their absorption of carbon dioxide. The next phase would be the extinction of all animals, from large vertebrates right down to the small ones; invertebrates would be the last to go.

 Somewhere 11,000 years ago, something weird happened to a dog. It got cancer鈥攁nd the really damn freaky part is that the cancer could survive even outside of its canine host. That unknown dog is long dead now, but its tumor cells have improbably lived on, continuing to sprout on the genitalia of dogs all over the world.     This contagious cancer is called canine  stanley cup transmissible venereal tumor, or CTVT. In this week   issue of the journal Science, geneticists reported on the first sequencing of the tumor, giving some clues as to the origin and spread of CTVT. Cancer, as you and I usually know it, originates as a mutant cell that replicates out of control in an individual. If someone else   cancer cell somehow gets into my body, my immune system will attack this foreign cell鈥攁s it would attack all foreign things. But CTVT has a special trick up its sleeve that lets it evade immune systems. There   only one other cancer in the whole world that is contagious like this: a tumor that is eating the faces of Tasmanian devils. So CTVT has this special ability to evade immune systems, but it still needs to g stanley cup et from one pooch to another.
