2.4 million vehicle-deer collisionsOne vehicle-deer collision every 26 seconds*In the U.S.- July 2007-June 2009* State Farm® estimatesIn a recent five-year span, there were over 2,000 reported vehicle-animal collisions in Nevada, including nearly 1,500 collisions involving deer. Research estimates that more than 50 percent of such collisions go unreported to authorities, pointing to a potentially higher number of animal-related incidents. The monetary costs of such animal-vehicle collisions are high. Across the nation, traffic crashes involving wildlife cause an estimated $5 to $8 billion in damage each year.In addition, scientists estimate that U.S. roads impact the natural ecology of at least one-fifth of the country. These roads increase animal deaths, fragment and decrease habitat, prevent wildlife from accessing natural resources and isolate wildlife populations into smaller and more vulnerable subpopulations.The substantial human, economic and wildlife costs caused by vehicle-animal collisions have led scientists and engineers to develop tools to reduce the deadly crashes. One of those tools, wildlife crossings (a type of safety crossing), has been successful at reducing both vehicle-animal collisions and wildlife impacts caused by roads.In a continual effort to provide the safest roadways, the Nevada Department of Transportation and partners such as the Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Nevada Department of Wildlife are installing safety crossings.
Safety crossings are passages above or beneath roadways that are designed to increase road safety and reduce collisions by redirecting wildlife out of the way of oncoming vehicles.From underpasses and overpasses to small mammal tunnels and other crossings, all of these structures are designed to provide semi-natural corridors through which animals can safely cross roads without endangering motorists and themselves. Often, safety crossings for larger animals are installed in conjunction with fencing to help direct animals to cross at the desired location, avoiding potential traffic collisions.
Since the first wildlife crossings were constructed in France in the middle of the last century, European countries have successfully used various crossing structures to reduce the conflict between wildlife and cars.These crossings are becoming increasingly common in the United States and Canada, reducing vehicle-animal collisions and allowing safe crossing of deer and elk in Arizona, mountain goats and grizzly bears in Montana, deer, elk and moose in Wyoming and desert tortoises in California, among other areas.
Our developed areas and travel have increased, bringing people further in contact with deer and other large wild animals. Many of our country's rural highways have been constructed through deer migratory routes. In states where mule deer migrate between winter and summer feeding ranges, the migration intersects major highways.In Nevada, numerous agencies and partners are working together to install safety crossings in areas shown by research to have high vehicle-animal collision rates. The crossings join with other road safety features, such as centerline rumble strips, installed across Nevada to achieve safer roadways.The Nevada Department of Transportation and Nevada Department of Wildlife analyzed which state roadways have the largest percentage of vehicle-animal collisions to identify locations where safety crossings would be most effective in reducing vehicle-animal collision rates.
Research conducted by the University of Nevada, Reno shows that, during the first two migrations in which safety crossings were installed on U.S. 93 in northeast Nevada, more than 7,000 mule deer were kept off the road and away from potential collisions with vehicles.
Like all technology, safety crossings can not provide protection in every circumstance. Always follow these important safety tips:

Bills' Anderson suffered torn lateral meniscus
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Dec 6 2012 12:37PM
Since Mark Anderson suffered his injury against San Francisco in Week 5, there has been an onset of ambiguity as to what kind of knee ailment has kept him off the field for seven games.
To this point, all we knew was that Anderson had to have an initial surgical procedure, had a setback, and needed an additional surgery. On Thursday, Anderson cleared up a bit of the confusion.
"It was just a torn lateral meniscus," said the Bills defensive end. "So, they had to go in and scope it out. Then it had a little catch in it, and then we had to re-scope it. That's all it was, just a torn lateral meniscus."
He also updated his progress after head coach Chan Gailey told reporters Wednesday that he was doing much better this week.
"Ever since the second surgery everything has been rolling along," Anderson remarked. "Each day it's getting a little bit better. That's why I'm just taking it one day at a time. Eventually it's going to be where it needs to be and then you'll see me on the field."
Might he be able to get on the field before the end of the season?
"That's the goal," Anderson replied. "At this point, all I can do is take it one day at a time. I'm working hard every day just trying to get back. It's looking good right now, but like I said, I'm just staying focused on the task and that's just to get back on the field."
Anderson has already been ruled out for the Bills' next contest against the St. Louis Rams. He has 12 tackles and one sack in five games this season. This has been the first time Anderson has spoken since his second surgery.

Creeping through the jungle
9 December 2006 – 1 April 2007
John Olsen 'Tree frog' 1973, lithograph, Collection of the National Gallery of Australia © John Olsen. Licensed by VISCOPY, Australia
I'm a great big tiger creeping through the jungle,
I have sharp claws and great big teeth,
I'm creeping through the jungle.1
Creeping through the jungle gives visitors an opportunity to explore the tropical rainforests of Australia, the Pacific, Southeast Asia and South America. From an Australian artist's views of the Queensland rainforest to an ancient Mayan ceramic jaguar from Guatemala, the Children's Gallery comes alive with the flora and fauna of the jungle.
The journey begins in Australia's north, with modern and contemporary art, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, taking visitors up through the lush coastal forests of Queensland, evoked by the prints of Australia's William Robinson. His lithographs To the sea: morning sun 1998 and Rainforest 1992 immediately set the scene and draw visitors into the humid jungle canopy.
Crossing via Bathurst Island to Papua New Guinea, visitors will see spectacular works of art from the Sepik River region, nearby Madang and elsewhere. Highlights include a life-sized cassowary made of plant fibres and feathers, and a huge wooden sow from the Haus Tambaran, or Spirit House, at Kuminibus. One of the most colourful objects in the exhibition is a carved headdress surmounted by two kokomos. This splendid, brightly painted work is sculpted from wood and features two hornbill birds, called kokomo by the local people, perching back-to-back above a fierce face.
Maprik, East Sepik, Papua New Guinea 'Carved headdress surmounted by two kokomos' wood, paint, ochre, Collection of the National Gallery of Australia
Moving further back in time, the journey continues across the ocean to the Indonesian island of Bali. The dense forests of Bali are home to many creatures that are represented in the traditional arts and crafts of the island. Sadly, hunting and other pressures on the jungle have upset the delicate ecosystem, and put many plant and animal species at risk. The Balinese tiger that features so prominently in temple carvings and textiles such as the early 20th-century saput is now extinct. The cloth, however, teems with life: tigers leap about the richly decorated surface, jostling with elephants, men on horseback and other figures in a glorious testament to the skilled weavers of Southeast Asia.
Finally, there's a treasure hunt through the jungles of Central and South America, where the magnificent jaguar stalks the forest. Its powerful presence influenced the ancient cultures of the region. Several jaguars feature in the Gallery's collection, including the jaguar sitting upright on the lid of a Mayan burial urn, one of the most striking objects in the exhibition. These big cats guard the treasure at the end of the journey – a small collection of exquisitely modelled golden birds made by the Tairona and Sinu peoples of Colombia.
Tropical rainforests contain between 50 and 90
per cent of the world's plant and animal species, yet
many of these are under grave threat of extinction as
a direct result of human activity. The jaguar and many
of the other creatures represented in the exhibition are at risk of disappearing altogether along with the forests they inhabit. Creeping through the jungle encourages children to learn about the animal, bird, insect and plant life of
the rainforests and to think about their own place in the world and the environment. The works of art in this exhibition highlight the remarkable influence of the natural environment over artists through the centuries, and draw children into an appreciation of art through their fascination with the creatures of the forest.

How can someone be in love with two people at the same time? It doesn't make sense to Alice -- until Sam, her friend from Camera Club, starts to pay attention to her.

MIT Sloan Research Paper No. 4615-06
This paper defines four basic business models based on what asset rights are sold (Creators, Distributors, Landlords and Brokers) and four variations of each based on what type of assets are involved (Financial, Physical, Intangible, and Human). Using this framework, we classified the business models of all 10,970 publicly traded firms in the US economy from 1998 through 2002. Some of these classifications were done manually, based on the firms' descriptions of sources of revenue in their financial reports; the rest were done automatically by a rule-based system using the same data. Based on this analysis, we first document important stylized facts about the distribution of business models in the U.S. economy. Then we analyze the firms' financial performance in three categories: market value, profitability, and operating efficiency. We find that no model outperforms others on all dimensions. Surprisingly, however, we find that some models do, indeed, have better financial performance than others. For instance, Physical Creators (which we call Manufacturers) and Physical Landlords have greater cash flow on assets, and Intellectual Landlords have poorer q's, than Physical Distributors (Wholesaler/Retailers). These findings are robust to a large number of robustness checks and alternative interpretations. We conclude with some hypotheses to explain our findings.

History in the Paint Public Art Tour
In the summer of 2013, a collective of artists, called the Walldogs, came to Kewanee, IL to paint 15 historic murals depicting the long history and heritage of the city. These paintings can be found on many downtown facades, as well as at the Amtrak Station that brings new people to the area, every day. About this mural: Kewanee was founded in May of 1854, when the Military Tract Railroad was routed to the north of Wethersfield. The town founders were from Wethersfield Township to the south, Sylvester Blish, Ralph Tenney, Henry Little and Sullivan Howard, plus Nelson Lay from Wisconsin. Colonel Berrian, civil engineer who supervised the laying of the track through this area, was asked to choose a name and he decided on "Kewanee," a Winnebago Indian word for "prairie chicken." In 1921, Wethersfield's 2,000 people asked to be annexed to Kewanee with its 16,000. That 18,000 would turn out to be Kewanee's peak population.

The Hennepin Canal Parkway follows an old towpath that was actually never used, although the locks and aqueducts are in still in place. It was originally built to link the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. The 105-mile path is level and easy; however, water is scarce along the way (found only at locks 21, 22 and the Visitor Center), so be sure to bring plenty, especially during hot days. The landscape varies from forest to grasslands to marsh to farmland, and the trail is particularly pleasing during fall, when the leaves are changing colors. The Hennepin Canal Parkway has become a cyclist's paradise and an exceptional spot for fishing, birding, horseback riding and a wealth of outdoor recreation.

eye catching
"Loved the look of shoe online and in person. The 6 1/2 fit which is my normal size. Comfortable, nice heel height. The picture, to me, looks like this shoe is black, w/ light pink and red. When you see it in person, the description is correct---no red. It is black, light pink, and dark fuscia ( dark pink). I do not wear alot of pink so this will probably be going back----also the back of the shoe slaps my foot when I walk and the sound is annoying."

"I like the boots. However we had our first snow fall and my feet felt cold. The laces are hard to stay tight and I have a blister forming on the right heal from a walk in the snow with my dogs. Overall a cute shoe, however I was looking for a winter boot that was cute as well as functional for walking around in the snow. I have mixed feeling right now on them."

"First off, they look pretty good and well-made to me. The stitching and seals seem tight and the material is thick. A little bit lighter (in terms of weight) than I was expecting. They do really look just like the photo. Very cute.My only minor gripes so far is that because the insole and padding around the leg of the boot is so thick, the fit on my feet is very snug-which may be uncomfortable if I were to wear them for a long period of time since my feet will expand. Also, where the rubbery and plaid stuff meet at the ankle is kind of stiff so it limits the mobility of your ankle a little bit - or at least mine. Though please note that I have wide feet and also fairly big calves(so my ankles are probably thicker than most, too). I usually wear a 7.5 or 8 in shoes and boots depending. I bought the size 8, but maybe would consider a 9 so it wouldn't be sooo snug."

These feel great so far
"So far so good! I'm trying to get ready for the winter. These are supposed to be warm and waterproof; I have yet to test them. As for fit, pretty true to size but I go up a size with boots. I'm normally a 6 but I got these in a 7. I have enough room for wool socks; they're slightly snug without them though. I ordered the one in camel with navy blue."
