WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Wednesday it is going forward with a contentious plan to round up about 2,500 wild horses in Nevada. A spokeswoman for Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said herds in the Calico Mountains Complex in northwestern Nevada are overpopulated and need to be reduced to protect the horses and the rangelands that support them. “The current population in the five Calico herd management areas is three times what the range can handle, so this gather will ensure high-quality habitat for the wild horse and burros and other wildlife while protecting the public rangeland from overuse,” said spokeswoman Kendra Barkoff.

Some 81 yoga studios around New York were reeling last month after receiving letters from the New York State Education Department, stating that they must “cease operating” teacher training programs or face a $50,000 fine. The letter, addressed only to yoga studios with teacher training programs, is from the Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision (BPSS) at the State Education Department. It states that under Section 5001(1) of the Education Law, yoga studios are required to register with the state as vocational schools, similar to bartending or pet grooming schools.

Fresh from a weekend trip to Camp David with her family, First Lady Michelle Obama addressed the Interior Department on Monday afternoon. As she spoke, a mysterious black and white object sat on her lapel. At first it looked like one of her signature brooches, but, then, upon closer inspection, it revealed itself to be a corsage. As in the kind of floral accessory that Sarah Palin is so fond of wearing . Behold: Obama’s corsage was of the plastic variety, but, in our opinion, it was closer to a corsage than a brooch. If there’s a symbolism to this piece of jewelry that we’re overlooking, please tell us below in comments. But the event was not without its fashion do s. For example, the First Lady was presented with a beautiful handmade shawl from Director of Public Affairs for the Bureau of Indian Affairs Nedra Darling.
