Qpuq Humanity has gone too far: Behold, the Wesley Crusher Jumper Hoodie
 On a stretch of barrier island without paved roads, some of the last wild horses in the eastern United States are seeing their world get smaller each year.A boom in vacation homes in the last 25 years in this remo stanley cup te place has seen the descendants of colonial Spanish mustangs confined to a 7,500-acre sanctuary on the northern tip of North Carolina s Outer Banks. And now the herd itself may shrink along with its habitat.A plan backed by the f stanley italia ederal government would see the herd reduced from about 115 horses today to no more than 60 in a bid to stop the animals, designated North Carolina s state horse this year, from competing with federally protected birds for increasingly hard-to-come-by resources.The Fish and Wildlife Service says the plan will reduce harmful behavior by a species it considers a nuisance. But residents who rely on the horses to bring in tourist dollars or who simply cherish the mustangs as a symbol of the country s spirit worry it could bring about the collapse of the herd through hereditary diseases and other complications of a shallow gene pool. The American wild horse is disappearing from our country,  said Karen McCalpin, executive director of the Corolla Wild Horse Fund, a nonprofit group that manages the herd.  To me, they re as much a symbol of freedom as the bald eagle.         Wild mustangs, which ar stanley uk e found in their greatest numbers in Western states, at one time could also be found in large herds throughout the southeast.

And this episode shows that even the treatment for undead people鈥攖he entire premise of the show鈥攃ame at a terrible price.     I have to give In the Flesh a lot of credit for this storyline. The treatment f stanley cup or Partially Deceased Syndrome was perfectly acceptable as a hand wave, but p stanley quencher ulling back the curtain on the early days of the treatment does a lot to enrich the show, both by explaining the origins of the Undead Prophet   religion and by showing how fragile this world of the living and the undead really is. Simon, it turns out, wasn ;t lured into fellowship with the Undead Prophet simply through pretty words. He was the first person to respond to the PDS treatment, and he allowed himself to be subjected to painful, violent experiments in the hope of regaining his living physiology. But the interests of scientists and politics don ;t always line up. While the doctors at the treatment center worried that the PDS condition was being only barely managed, other forces seem to believe that the reintegration of PDS sufferers into society is a necessary symbol of the war   end. But the medication isn ;t the only reason that PDS integration poses a problem, of course.

 The South is headed for an economi stanley cupe c crisis if states don t begin investing more to help poor children succeed in school, according to a new report released Tuesday.A majority of students enrolled in public schools across 15 Southern states are now low income - a situation last seen in the 1950s and 60s - and states are not doing enough to make sure they graduate from high school and go on to college, a report from the Southern Education Foundation shows.The report is the first time the 140-year-old Atlanta-based nonprofit has taken a region-wide look at issues affecting the future prosperity of the South. We are essentially setting up the South for failure,  said stanley cups  Steve Suitts, the report s author and program coordinator for the vaso stanley  foundation.  If we don t find a way to educate more students, we re not going to have a prosperous future in this region no matter how much the sun may shine.

People who have a high school diploma or less can still get jobs - but they tend be low wage jobs that won t help raise them out of poverty, Suitts said.        That means the South is headed toward a weak economy with an undereducated population, high unemployment rates and high poverty, Suitts said.CBS News correspondent Mark Strassmann spoke to the president of the foundatio Ekak Molester Allegedly Tries To Buy Child

 Wine lovers may buy directly from out-of-state vineyards, the Supreme Court ruled Monday, striking down laws banning a practice that has flourished because of the Internet and growing popularity of winery tours.The 5-4 decision overturns laws in New York and Michigan that make it a crime to buy wine directly fr stanley cups om vineyards in another state. In all, 24 states have laws that bar interstate shipments.The state bans are discriminatory and anti-competitive, the court said. States have broad power to regulate liquor,  Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority.  This power, however, does not allow states to ban, or severely limit, the direct shipment of out-of-state wine while simultaneously authorizing direct shipment by in-state producers.  If a state chooses to allow direct shipments of wine, it must do so on evenhanded terms,  he wrote.        Kennedy was joined in his opinion by Justices Antonin Scalia, David H. Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen G. Breyer. This is good news for wine consumers and producers because it ought to open up the shipping lanes for citizens of one state to purchase wine from any other state without running afoul of any restrictions,  reports CBSNews Legal Analys stanley usa t Andrew Cohen.At issue was the 21st Amendment, which ended Prohibition in 1933 and granted states authority to regulate alcohol sales.

Because of the tilt and shape of its orbit, we see it from slightly different angles over the course of a month. And when each month is compressed into 24 seconds, as in this video, our changing view of the Moon makes it look as if it   wobbling.      You can see the extent of this wobbling, called libration, with the help of the graphic in the lower left corner of this animation, created by the NASA Scientific Visualization Studio. The blue dot represents the sub-Earth point鈥?the apparent center of the Moon   disk and the location on the Moon where the Earth is directly overhead. The lunar latitude and longitude of the sub-Earth point is a measure of the Moon   libration.
