A border collie at 13 weeks: full of energy and intelligence. This was a quiet moment in between romps, and I cropped out the hands and arms of her owner, who is holding her and calming her so that the photographer can focus...

Testing fake film borders. On the one hand, they're wicked cheesy. On the other hand, images without a border look odd to me.
The opening of Liberia’s official borders enables economic activities and allows students to attend school. However, it is important to take precautionary measures.

This is the new Editor-in-Chief of "Cancer Research" right before he made a run across the border into Nebraska. My question: if Nebraska is the home of Arbor Day, then why aren't there any trees within a 53 mile radius of this sign?

Hinterland Urbanisms.
Andean Hub.

The IIRSA Andean Hub is defined by a north-south corridor crossing Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Some 104 million inhabitants occupy the region of the Hub, yet the IIRSA projects are centered in remote undeveloped border conditions. This reinforces the emergent hinterland urbanism quality. The reserach and project explores the possibilities of contemporary infrastructure in this hub and yields two essential observations:
1) border stations are an opportunity to reconsider how energy, specifically hydroelectric, is stored, distributed and catalytic with development, and 2) the north-south orientation of the hub and its attendant geography, allows for a linear energy corridor. We call these the “power station” and “superline,” respectively.
WEATHER = WATER = POWER. Ten percent renewable sources of energy, established as a worldwide goal for 2010, is already a reality in Latin America, but that has been achieved mostly through large-scale hydroelectric dams. Around 23 percent of Latin America’s total primary energy supply comes from renewable sources, including hydroelectric dams, according to the ECLAC study “Energy sustainability in Latin America and the Caribbean: the share of renewable sources,” published in October 2003. Likewise, the Andean region is rainy, yielding some 2500mm annually in more than 30% of its territory. Although precipitation is unpredictable. What if an infrastructure were able to flex and anticipate river flow and rainfall dynamic? The overarching ambition of our proposal is to produce a new model of energy hub that integrates border conditions and ecosystems. Water becomes the binding element of energy, nature, economy, and hinterland eco-development.
POWER BORDERS. Significant to the suite of investment projects planned for the Andean hub, we have identified the following as offering the most potential for new innovative design thinking: border stations, electricity and interconnection, and hydroelectricity stations. The possibility exists to intersect these investments to yield a new model of border crossing and subsequently, a new border energy city. IIRSA is currently seeking: 3 new border stations and 2 power connections at the border of Venezeula and Colombia; 2 border stations, 3 power connections, and 1 hydro-electric stations at the Colombia and Ecuador; 2 border stations, 1 power connection, and 2 hydro-electric stations. Each of these three border conditions offers the catalytic need and opportunity for the first “power stations” in the Andean superline energy system.
ANDEAN SUPERLINE. With the Pan-American Highway providing a model for linear infrastructure, the opportunity for a linear power corridor is potent. The Andean superline would be served primarily by hydroelectric stations and power connections.
In response to the already increasing hydropower in the region, the Andean superline could bundle and integrate other renewable energy sectors such as solar, wind, and geothermal.
BIODIVERSITY. The Andean Hub is a significant ecologically sensitive region, with over 25% of the world’s biodiversity. One way to address this is to conceive of the superline simultaneously as a protected landscape – even a monitored and managed ecosystem that safely integrates infrastructure and habitat. Each power plant and energy source will be evaluated economically and environmentally. The sites with low or bad rating will no be connected to the super line. If the superline is efficient, the low-rated powerplants will only serve for local power generations and will be phased out in the near future.

The Top Dog Agility club set up an agility demonstration for the 24 hour relay to raise funds for cancer research. This is one of the club's Border Collies. I think this dog is named Chase.
Detroit is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Michigan, the fourth-largest city in the Midwest and the largest city on the United States–Canada border. It is the seat of Wayne County, the most populous county in the state. Detroit's metropolitan area, known as Metro Detroit, is home to 5.3 million people, making it the fourteenth-most populous metropolitan area in the United States and the second-largest in the Midwestern United States (behind Chicago). It is a major port on the Detroit River, a strait that connects the Great Lakes system to the Saint Lawrence Seaway. The City of Detroit anchors the second-largest economic region in the Midwest, behind Chicago, and the thirteenth-largest in the United States.
Detroit is the center of a three-county urban area (population 3,734,090, area of 1,337 square miles (3,460 km2), a 2010 United States Census) six-county metropolitan statistical area (2010 Census population of 4,296,250, area of 3,913 square miles [10,130 km2]), and a nine-county Combined Statistical Area (2010 Census population of 5,218,852, area of 5,814 square miles [15,060 km2]). The Detroit–Windsor area, a commercial link straddling the Canada–U.S. border, has a total population of about 5,700,000. The Detroit metropolitan region holds roughly one-half of Michigan's population.
Detroit was founded on July 24, 1701, by the French explorer and adventurer Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac and a party of settlers. With expansion of the automobile industry, the Detroit area emerged as a significant metropolitan region within the United States in the early 20th century, when the city became the fourth-largest in the country for a period. In the 1950s and 1960s, expansion continued with construction of a regional freeway system.
Due to industrial restructuring and loss of jobs in the auto industry, Detroit lost considerable population from the late 20th century to present. Between 2000 and 2010 the city's population fell by 25 percent, changing its ranking from the nation's 10th-largest city to 18th. In 2010, the city had a population of 713,777, more than a 60 percent drop from a peak population of over 1.8 million at the 1950 census. This resulted from suburbanization, industrial restructuring, and the decline of Detroit's auto industry. Following the shift of population and jobs to its suburbs or other states or nations, the city has focused on becoming the metropolitan region's employment and economic center. Downtown Detroit has held an increased role as an entertainment destination in the 21st century, with the restoration of several historic theatres, several new sports stadiums, and a riverfront revitalization project. More recently, the population of Downtown Detroit, Midtown Detroit, and a handful of other neighborhoods has increased. Many other neighborhoods remain distressed, with extensive abandonment of properties.
The Governor of Michigan, Rick Snyder, declared a financial emergency for the city in March 2013, appointing an emergency manager. On July 18, 2013, Detroit filed the largest municipal bankruptcy case in U.S. history. It was declared bankrupt by Judge Steven W. Rhodes of the Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on December 3, 2013; he cited its $18.5 billion debt and declared that negotiations with its thousands of creditors were unfeasible. On November 7, 2014, Judge Rhodes approved the city's bankruptcy plan, allowing the city to begin the process of exiting bankruptcy. The City of Detroit successfully exited Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy with all finances handed back to the city at midnight on December 11, 2014.

I’ve been to two land border crossings and both times they aren’t as flashy or comfortable as an airport, but with a lot less hassle.
