But as baiting programs and hybridization with feral domestic dogs pull down pure dingo numbers, there are growing warnings that the breed risks extinction in the wild, perhaps in just a few decades...
...ensure they're getting samples from pure dingoes, the Monash team will use a genetic test developed by University of New South Wales geneticist Alan Wilton. Following on from earlier skull morphology work by other researchers, Wilton's test has been ringing alarm bells about the extent of hybridization, confirming a collapse in pure dingo numbers throughout much of south-eastern Australia. And there's plenty more work to be done: one of the problems hindering efforts to manage dingoes is the lack of data on their numbers or the national spread of hybridization, particularly across vast stretches...

JCHS, which is affiliated with the Kennedy School of Government and the Graduate School of Design, publishes a State of the Nation Housing Report every year, which presents research on the state of the economy, housing statistics, home ownership...
...appeared on national cable TV on last Monday’s “The O’Reilly Show.”The guest, Fox News Producer Jesse Watters videotaped what he called the “wildest party I’d ever been to...it was pure debauchery...girls were falling down drunk, and most were wearing just panties and bras. I went to the bathroom and heard guys having sex in the stall next to me...guys kissing guys and girls making out with girls.” Watter’s unedited footage exposed numerous...
