(This story takes place in Phineas and Ferb's teen years)
Isabella was sleeping over at her friend Emily's house, Isabella and Emily were watching a romance movie. "I can't hide my feelings anymore, Mark" a dit the woman on screen. "It is undeniable now." "What is it Jennifer?" a dit the man. "I l'amour toi Mark, ever since we were children I've loved you, I've tried to contain it, but I can't ours it any longer." as the woman a dit this Isabella began to frown. She got up and got inside her sleeping bag, but Emily stayed put "Jennifer, I... don't know what...
" Good night kids have fun." Lawrence a dit as he and Linda walked up the stairs " But not too much fun." Linda called back. They (or at least Dixie hitting Phineas in the back so that he would bump in to Isabella. His entire face turning red but,Izzie just smiled.) began the oreiller fight. "Start your stations!" Dixie yelled "the fight will start in 3,2,1,0 THIS IS SPARTA!!!" she a dit hitting Baljeet in the face then Buford leveing them with only 4 lives left. Ferb hit everyone except Dixie because she was too fast. At one point Dixie hit Phineas in the back again makeing sure that he would...
"Why aren't they coming?" Dixie asked, eyes wide with alarm. Phineas replied with a smile on his face"Candace is pregnant!" As the door rang Dixie bolted out the door knocking down Buford and running in circles yelling "YES IM GOING TO HAVE COUSINS!" and running back in the house running up and down the stairs in super speed up and down the halls until smacking her head into the mur and passing out but, in 5 minutes she is still up and running again."Why is she so happy?!" Buford asked "come"Phineas a dit leading Buford and Baljeet in to the living room. Soon Linda and Lawrence come down...
At the jour of the party they had several things planned like oreiller fights ,scary movies( Dixie thought Justin biever was scary so her idea of scary movie was "Justin Biever Never Say Never" but they picked "Scream" instead) scrabble, jenga, pictionary ,karaoke,and stuff like that. They invited Isabella, Buford ,Baljeet and of course Candace and her husband to be Jeremy. The first to come was Izzie so meanwhile the boys came Izzie and Dixie chatted in the living room "No matter how many hints I give Phineas can't seem to notice me!"said Isabella. "Dont worry tonight I will do everything I can...
The tiny pup (now named Dixie par Isabella) didn't know about her powers but eventually found out and kept them a secret until she was practiceing how to use them when Phineas walked in on her so she spoke (B.T.W her first words that Phineas herd was "HOLY BONES")witch when he herd them he passed out cold for a couple of minutes until Dixie slapped him awake.And to her surprise found out that she had plus powers which were super bark ,ground pound ,hipnotizeing howl ,and for some reason she could tackle any one in a miles distance, and hard.Phineas told everyone but they still kept thir pet...
Please don't be rude but this is my first article and I am pretty young so hope u enjoy! "Where could I leave her?" thought a young German Shepard as she was carrying her week-old female chiot across Danville. "Who would want a half dog half loup pup with a crocked tail with a wird étoile, star on her right front paw?! Why did I a champion pet agree dog have to get involved with a wolf?" As she was thinking she saw a nice accueil with 4 children (Candace ,Phineas ,Ferb ,and Isabella.) with a platypus and two loving parents though a window...
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Don't hate me for this story. Just don't. Ever heard of the free will to write? Yeah.
As usual, the sun took hold of the jour in Danville, giving warm rays of bright happiness throughout the whole Tri-state area. Though the morning was very misleading for today, the Flynn-Fletcher boys were hard at work, hammering down on the day's project.
With his eyes locked down on on the leaver, Phineas strapped himself to the rope and began to pull himself up higher and higher until he could reach the screw sticking out way above. He smiled...
The sun scorched down on the earth, burning roads and suffocating grass. It was one of the hottest days in Danville anyone could remember.
"Hey, Phineas!" Isabella peeped as she entered the boys' backyard. "What'cha doin'?"
"Hey Isabella," Phineas a dit as he sat up to face her. "Nothing yet. It's too hot to do anything."
It was a pretty hot day; almost ninety-seven degrees out.
"I know how we could cool down," Isabella said, smiling. "Who wants to go swimming at my house? We can invite over Buford and Baljeet too."
Isabella woke up at 8:00am to start working on her daily project. She put on her usual outfit and said, " Hey. Where's Pinky?" SHe shrugged and ran downstairs to eat her morning breakfast. She at some eggs and said," Hmmmm... I wonder... *sigh* I wish chicks never got killed par getting taken away from their mothers. I want to have my own chicks. That's it! Mom! I know what I'm going to do today!"She ran outside grabbed her tools and started on her project.

For my second Books & Media Monday, I'd like to highlight a couple of indie books that I'm looking forward to for various reasons.
First up, we have a cover reveal — a first look at Queen's Man by KD Sarge. KD is one of the authors I work with when I'm wearing my editor's hat at Turtleduck Press, an indie press running on a co-op model (more about that another day). Queen's Man is a science fiction novel, heavy on the characters and action, and…well, head over to KD's blog to read more. Queen's Man is due out on April 1, but if you're curious, a short story introducing the world and some of the characters will be up on Turtleduck Press on March 1. KD also has two other novels out through Turtleduck Press, as well as a short story in an anthology, Winter's Night, that also features my writing.
Second, some good news from another indie author. Kathryn Anthony has just released a short story anthology, Of Myth & Memory: Fictions & Labyrinths. While I haven't read this one yet, I recently finished her first anthology, Persephone's Library and Other Stories, featuring a variety of post-apocalyptic short stories. They're beautifully written, bittersweet and thought-provoking. I'm excited to read more of her work. In addition to the two anthologies, she has also released a fantasy novel and two Regency romances.
If either of these books sounds like your cup of tea, I hope you'll consider showing their authors some love.
Question for readers: What indie books have you gotten excited about recently?

When sizing up Friday night's 135-pound Ultimate Fighting Championship matchup between Jared Papazian and Dustin Pague, quite a few similarities come to the forefront.
However, perhaps the one most appealing to fans is that when Pague and Papazian square off, their intentions are to put on an entertaining bantamweight fight more than anything else.
"I'm just gonna come out guns blazing," said Papazian (14-7), who trains out of Burbank Gracie Barra. "[I] always keep coming, always keep fighting."
Pague, who sports a 10-5 record, shares much the same outlook as Papazian that it's just as important to put on a good fight as it is to get a victory.
"We're not just fighters, we're entertainers, too," said Pague, who, like Papazian, is 24 and began his mixed-martial-arts career in 2008. "Nobody wants to see a boring fight.
"Hopefully me and Jared put on a fight of the night and we'll go out there and throw some bombs and have a fight people remember."
The two are set to tangle in the fifth bout of the night, live on Fuel TV as part of the preliminary card for the UFC on FX 3, which emanates from the Bank Atlantic Center in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Both will be fighting in their second UFC bouts and both are coming off losses in their debuts.
Pague, a former "The Ultimate Fighter" cast member, dropped his debut on Dec. 3, 2011 when he lost to John Albert via a first-round technical knockout. Papazian lost to the highly regarded Mike Easton in a majority decision on Jan. 20 in a bout that many were clamoring for as fight of the night and later drew bonus checks for both fighters from UFC President Dana White. Pague had a five-fight winning streak snapped by his loss, while Papazian had claimed victory in his three previous bouts and eight of his last nine.
"It was awesome. I came in with no pressure, whatsoever. I just came in with guns blazing," Papazian said of the Easton fight. "It was very close; I thought I won the fight."
But the decision didn't go Papazian's way and, in the world of the UFC, two straight losses, particularly to start your career in the octagon, usually signal one's release from the company. Thus, the fight may very well have the added stipulation that both combatants are fighting for their jobs.
"I think it kinda comes down to that," Pague said. "I'm not really focusing on that, because I think I fight better when I'm not thinking about just winning.
"Bottom line, that could be the case, the UFC wants wins."
Like Pague, Papazian is aware of the situation, but is trying his best to focus elsewhere.
"Yeah, it's a big question, if I lose, if I get my walking papers, but I'm still real young, so if it wasn't meant to be, it wasn't meant to be," Papazian said. "I don't see me losing this fight, though. This is, by far, my best [training] camp."
Pague, who made his rise largely fighting on the East Coast, shares the same confidence as his opponent.
"I feel like this is one of my best camps," Pague said. "I just feel excellent going in, I'm really confident."
Pague has been to a decision just once in his career and boasts seven submission wins. However, by his own accord, he sees himself as more of a stand-up fighter and one of his better attributes is his clinch work. Against Albert, though, he believes his downfall may well have been trying to make it an exciting bout right from the get-go.
"I got overzealous my last fight and rushed in there," Pague said. "This fight, I'm just gonna stick to the game plan, which is to stick and move. I need to keep [my striking] tight."
Papazian, meanwhile, has fought to a decision in six consecutive bouts and 11 of his 21 overall tilts. Papazian's pace and the back-and-forth nature of his bouts have showcased perhaps his two biggest strengths: his heart and his stamina.
"My cardio's great," said Papazian, who has thrice fought to five-round decisions in King of the Cage title bouts. "It's good to have experience-wise."
Still, Papazian isn't aiming for another decision, as the upstart with a kickboxing background who trains under the tutelage of Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt Alberto Crane is looking to stop Pague.
"I'm gonna try and go for the finish and I'm not gonna stop 'til I [get it]," Papazian said.
Said Crane: "If he fights anywhere close to his best, I see him winning the fight. I think it's a good matchup [for Papazian], but at that level, everybody's tough."

Percy Harvin has emerged as one of the most dangerous weapons in the NFL this season. The Minnesota Vikings were given a scare in the third quarter of their Sunday matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.
Harvin grabbed at his left ankle after being tackled for a 3-yard loss on a sweep run in the third quarter. Harvin remained down for more than a minute as Vikings trainers came to his aid.
Harvin eventually limped off the field under his own power and later was seen jogging on the sideline. Harvin was listed as questionable to return, but he was back on the field for the Vikings' first drive of the fourth quarter.
Harvin entered the game as the NFL's receptions leader. Earlier in the game, Fox cameras showed an animated Harvin yelling in the direction of Vikings coach Leslie Frazier following a Minnesota drive that ended with a field goal.

Smyth, Dubnyk lead Oilers past Flamesby Aaron Vickers
CALGARY -- The Edmonton Oilers put only one puck behind Calgary Flames goaltender Reto Berra on Friday night.
That was all they needed.
Ryan Smyth's first of two goals held up, and Devan Dubnyk made 27 saves for his second shutout of the season, lifting the Oilers to a 2-0 victory in the Battle of Alberta at Scotiabank Saddledome.
"That's a key in any game is your goaltenders have to be probably your best player," said Smyth, who added an empty-netter with Berra on the bench. "Both of them were. It was a battle tonight.
"We had some chances and we made the most of it with a couple of them. I thought we stuck to the system right through and obviously Dubnyk made some key saves at the right times."
After the Oilers snapped a six-game losing streak against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday, Dubnyk, a Calgary native, helped his team post back-to-back wins for the third time this season.
"It's always fun to play here," Dubnyk said. "Obviously I've lived a lot of years here. It's always fun to win but this is my first shutout here. It's something special."
Dubnyk's heroics made Smyth's first-period goal the game-winner.
Smyth was standing to the right of Berra when he chested Ales Hemsky's high centering feed into the net 17:22 into the game. The goal stood after a lengthy review and put the Oilers up 1-0.
"I actually went to the net and I just flinched and it hit the side of my chest, luckily," Smyth said.
The goal was a measure of revenge for Smyth, who saw an earlier power-play opportunity taken away after Chris Butler poked the puck off the stick of the Oilers forward while he was staring at an empty net.
It also came after Mark Giordano thought he put the Flames on the board at 14:53.
Joe Colborne and David Jones failed to connect on a 2-on-1 rush, but the play continued in Edmonton's zone and Giordano got ahold of the puck at the blue line. He unleashed a wrister that beat Dubnyk but was immediately waived off after Colborne impeded Dubnyk's movement.
"I've got to be careful with what I say, I'm a rookie so I don't want to get into it too much but that's a tough one," Colborne said. "I thought Giordano made a good play faking the shot and I think that is what caused Dubnyk to go down and have to move. I don't think it was me but that's something we're going to have to look at on the video."
From the crease, Dubnyk saw the play differently.
"It's a great call," he said. "Obviously being here [in Calgary], nobody likes it. It would've been an easy one for him to let go because it wasn't too noticeable but he comes through the crease and spins me sideways on the original play which if he hadn't of done that, then I wouldn't have been sprawling and stretching out and it wouldn't have gone under my arm."
Though the Flames pressed, Edmonton kept Calgary off the board.
The best scoring opportunity of the second period came off the stick of the Oilers.
After the Flames hemmed the Oilers in their own zone for a shift, a cleared puck got behind the duo of Shane O'Brien and Christopher Breen, springing Anton Lander on a breakaway. Berra stared down Lander before kicking out his right pad to keep the Flames within one.
After Berra turned aside Luke Gazdic before wrestling away Nail Yakupov's rebound attempt four minutes into the third, Giordano came close again, skipping a shot off the glove of Dubnyk and the crossbar.
Dubnyk denied Giordano again with 3:36 remaining, trapping the wrister of the Flames captain under his pads.
Though Giordano scored with 4.2 seconds remaining to force overtime in Calgary's 4-3 shootout win against the St. Louis Blues on Monday, the Flames couldn't replicate the comeback with Berra on the bench for a sixth skater.
Giordano's tripping minor with 19:02 of the third forced Berra back to the crease. Smyth found the empty net with 5.8 seconds remaining to drop Calgary to 1-14-2 when trailing after two periods and hand them their second loss in three games of the Battle of Alberta this season.
"The bottom line is we didn't play a very good game," coach Bob Hartley said. "I don't think we gave ourselves a chance to win. I didn't think we had our usual jump, whether it's the break or whatever reason, it was the same for the Oilers. They got that first goal and we tried to make a push, but I don't think we were at our best tonight, so we didn't really deserve to win."

Being adopted can raise a lot of issues - get help with them now
Maybe the fact that you were adopted isn't something you think about… much. Or maybe knowing your real mother 'gave you away' sometimes makes you feel sad. Or angry.
Maybe you've always known you were adopted and feel you have basically accepted it. Or perhaps you only found out much later and still sometimes feel upset about it.
People don't understand what being adopted is like
It can be hard to get people who've grown up in 'normal' families to appreciate what it's like to be adopted. How do you explain what it's like not to have 'roots'? Or why you feel such a mix of sadness and anger and confusion? Complicated feelings like this can powerfully influence how you feel about yourself.
Being adopted can make you feel so different
Many people who were adopted say they have always 'felt different'. Of course, you may have had wonderful loving and caring adoptive parents, but may still feel haunted by that sense of being different from the other kids, from people who had 'ordinary' family experiences. You may have been looking for some kind of 'closure' to ease your mind.
If you feel that you haven't quite come to terms with the idea that you were adopted, then this Being Adopted session is for you.
Hypnosis can help you come to terms with being adopted
Hypnosis is a powerful tool to ease difficult emotions and reframe attitudes and ideas. You'll find that this session will allow you to really relax around the facts of your own adoptive history, while offering you new and positive perspectives on your life.

Im pretty sure I know what this palm is as I got the seeds from a tree in town and planted them in pots, however, I dont have the name immediatly to reference. The seeds were like big yellow acorns and the trunk was like a knurled bar.
This is one of the most exciting plants I have. I have spent quite a bit of money on this garden, (not a lot by big boy standards though) and I like to get seeds and cuttings when im out and about. I have collected loads, so I might have to wait and see what these are.
Its still alive which is bizarre.
Still there for the new year but hardly much bigger. Presumably its working on its roots.
I think these are Date Palms and they are still there. Fingers crossed they get through the winter. Its just interesting watching them grow from scratch as they dont really look like palms, they look like corns or some type of grass. I think they might be growing slower than they would in a nursury, But I always thought that palms you buy in the shops in say 1g pots were actually 1 year old, now im thinking that they must be at least two years old or maybe even three years old?
I potted the seeds in September and when I came back in December they had sprouted so I planted them. I thought they would die back in the frost but they are sill going strong as are all the others I surrounded the seed by. I thik it will be a major victory if it grows into what it should be.
Not much to say, this photo is from April 2011, so fingers crossed!! Note in the background you can see Mexican Petunia cuttings that I put in a day or two before.

The economic crisis is having a devastating effect on millions of Americans and has resulted in record levels of unemployment. For the first time since 1983, that national unemployment rate has reached 10.2 percent. In my home state of California the unemployment rate has topped 12.2 percent. Just last week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that nearly to 14.6 percent of American families struggled to find food last year, the highest rate since 1995. These numbers are painful reminders resulting from the economic policies of the former Bush Administration.
They underscore the need for Congress and President Obama to continue to work together to create jobs in our economic recovery efforts.
Sadly, once again communities of color, particularly African-Americans and Latinos, are experiencing the worst of these job losses.
According to the Department of Labor, although the national unemployment rate was 9.8 percent in September, the rate for African-Americans was 15.4 percent and for Hispanics it was 12.7 percent. As disproportionate as those numbers are, the evidence indicates that the gap in unemployment rates for communities of color is widening. As a result, the pipeline to poverty is being filled with minority children and families at an increasingly alarming rate. That is why in August the Congressional Black Caucus, along with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, and the Congressional Progressive Caucus sent a letter to the Speaker that called for the extension of unemployment benefits. People need help during this economic crisis, American workers, the unemployed and families are hurting.
I'm pleased that earlier this month Congress sent President Barack Obama legislation fulfilling our request giving an much needed economic lifeline to help those who've been laid off.
But the truth is that addressing the unemployment gap for minority communities will not happen through an extension of unemployment insurance alone. Millions of Americans are grasping to maintain their quality of life during this turmoil. This crisis is particularly acute among African-Americans. More than 24 percent of African-Americans live below the poverty line and African Americans are 55 percent more likely to be unemployed than other Americans.
The Congressional Black Caucus, in its continued role as the Conscience of Congress, has a moral obligation to address inequality and injustice as never before in history. We are aggressively advancing the role of government to empower and protect American families by collectively pursuing a legislative agenda that addresses the priorities of our constituents.
We believe that we have a responsibility and obligation to eradicate poverty by utilizing the full constitutional power, statutory authority and resources of our government to provide opportunities for all and to develop pathways out of poverty. Some of these opportunities and pathways include economic opportunities, job training, livable wages, education, mental health services, affordable housing, health care, child nutrition and a responsible foreign policy. To that end, we need a concerted effort from the Federal government to expand access to education, job training and economic opportunities to provide a pathway out of poverty and ensure that people of color can compete for jobs on a level playing field.
In addition, we must ensure that banks improve their lending to small, minority and disadvantaged businesses to ensure that jobs are created in our neighborhoods. The legacy of the Bush Administration is failed policies that have weakened our economy and two wars that have sapped resources that should be directed to domestic needs.
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus are working together along with congressional leaders and President Obama to fix our economy and create jobs to address the true depth of this recession.
U. S. Rep. Barbara Lee is chair of the Congressional Black Caucus.

10 Ways to Lose Your Nursing License
Although we would like to believe that every nurse is a good person with good intentions, we can't ignore the fact that every year, state nursing boards revoke dozens of licenses. While some of these men and women lose their ability to serve as nurses because of non-nurse related activities, others suffer the consequences of patient endangerment or worse. The threat of having your license revoked is ever-present, and it is important to know just what activities can take it away.
Of course, there are many more reasons your nursing license may be revoked, and the decision is ultimately up to your state board. Be sure to regularly familiarize yourself with your state's laws and procedures.
1. Addicted Nurse Not in Good Recovery Program
We've all heard the story – the nurse with the back pain who gets prescribed Viodin. After her pain has subsided, she slips herself a little extra pain-killer on the side. And then a little more. And more still. Soon, she is addicted and it's getting out of control. While abusing narcotics is reason enough to lose your nursing license, many board will suspend your license and require you enter an addiction recovery group. There are even recovery groups just for nurses in this position.
If you complete your therapy and remain clean, you can retain your license. However, if you refuse to enter recovery or continue to abuse drugs/alcohol while in recovery, your state boar can revoke your license. Because nurses are near a infinite number of prescriptions, employers know that some may be tempted to indulge. So think again if you are toying with the idea of slipping a few pills under the table.
2. Impersonating Another Licensed Practitioner
Believe it or not, this happens. And employers sometimes don't catch it for years. A wannabe nurse may have a felony conviction that will prevent him from getting a license, or she may have had her own license revoked in the past. Whatever the case, identity theft is plausible if these "nurses" can obtain the correct papers. Whatever license you may or may not have will be immediately revoked by your state board, and that will stay on your record.

North Terminal international arrivals exit - Photo by William Elliott
Miami International Airport's North Terminal, completed in 2014, is used by American Airlines as its Latin American and Caribbean hub to operate more than 300 daily flights and serve more than 25 million passengers annually.
North Terminal's new three-level international arrivals facility, which saw its final phase completed in 2014, features: a 72-lane passport control hall capable of serving 2,000 passengers per hour; 30 automated passport control kiosks and 12 Global Entry kiosks for expedited clearance; a spacious second-level baggage claim area; a ground-level international greeter's lobby; and an eight-lane security checkpoint dedicated solely to connecting passengers.
North Terminal Improvements Phase II project - Photo by Miami-Dade Aviation Department
The North Terminal Improvements (NTI) Phase II project, completed in December 2011, added 150,000 square feet of renovated space for additional ticket counters, a fourth North Terminal security checkpoint and new curbside check-in areas on the arrival and departure levels. The renovations, remodeling and additions also re-connected the Central and North terminals of MIA on all levels between Terminal D and E and include new escalators for easier vertical access.
North Terminal's Phase I improvements, completed in 2009, delivered 58 ticket agent positions, 66 self-service check-in devices, 14 curbside check-in positions, and three security checkpoints located just 90 feet from the concourse area for fast, easy access to passenger gates.
The Concourse D skytrain is able to transport 9,000 passengers per hour
In September 2010, the Concourse D skytrain people mover began whisking passengers between four conveniently located stations on the roof of the mile-long concourse. A ride on the skytrain can take you from: station #1 near Gate D-17 at the easternmost end of Concourse D to station #2 for domestic baggage claim; continue to station #3 for connecting flights at gates D-26 to D-39, passport control or exit to Central or South Terminal; or carry you all the way to station #4 for gates D-40 to D-60 and American Eagle flights at the new Regional Commuter Facility - all within five minutes. Built by Parsons-Odebrecht with five four-car trains provided by Sumitomo Corporation of America and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, skytrain has the capacity to transport 9,000 passengers per hour. It is also designed to decrease walking time 70 percent for domestic connecting passengers and 34 percent for international connecting travelers in Concourse D.
The former Concourse A and its 16 gates re-opened in July 2010 with a new look and a new name after being closed in 2007 to expedite North Terminal construction. The 430,000-square-foot area was renovated to provide a seamless connection to the rest of Concourse D and its 16 gates were renumbered D-1 to D-19.

Tying the entire North Terminal together is a new automated baggage handling and delivery system capable of screening and transporting 8,400 bags per hour from the check-in area to all of North Terminal's 50 gates via a state-of-the-art system of 25 explosive detection machines and nearly 10 miles of conveyors.

North Terminal also gives passengers a taste of South Florida chic before they leave the airport with a wide assortment of more than 80 restaurants and shops. More than 20 new concessions opened in 2011 alone, including: The Shoppes at Ocean Drive, a 9,000-square-foot retail space by Newslink Group featuring brand names like Prive Gourmet Market, Britto, It's Sugar, Peace-Love-Miami, Ocean Drive News, Puma, Nike, Adidas and Ducati; shops operated by Duty Free Americas for Coach, Emporio Armani, Mont Blanc and Thomas Pink; a new food court featuring Café Versailles, Manchu Wok, Nathan's Hot Dogs and Villa Pizza; as well as Shula's Bar and Grill, Cocina Lorena Garcia, Island Chicken Grill, Juan Valdez Café, TGI Friday's, InMotion, Booklink Café, Kuva, Newslink Explorer and Air Essentials.
North Terminal won the Airport Revenue News (ARN) magazine 2012 award for Best Overall Concessions Program Award in a single terminal, was named one of the top 10 U.S. airports for healthy food in a 2011 report by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, and was named "2010 Best Food Court" in the Miami New Times annual "Best of Miami" issue.

|Facility to allow faster processing
After a bit of a delay, the new customs and immigration wing at Miami International Airport is ready for its grand opening. Coming into the U.S. through MIA can be a real challenge. "Our old Concourse E facility had reached capacity, so at certain times, we reached a point where we couldn't process them all," said MIA Communications Director Greg Chin. "We had to send some passengers to temporary facilities."
Convenience is key for international travelers. That is why the Sky Train drops them off just one floor above. As soon as they walk into the immigration hall, they realize how massive it is -- a full football field long. The new facility opens July 31 at a cost of $180 million. Its 72 passenger lanes are double the number at the old facility.
It also will include six global entry kiosks, which travelers can use for a small fee. All users have to do is have their passport scanned, their fingerprints taken and their retinas read, and if they are approved, they are on their way. Customs officers have just as much room behind a one-way mirrored wall, and a new baggage area is connected to American Airlines' fully automated baggage handling system. For security, there will be 25 inline explosive detection units at $1 million apiece, X-raying every piece of checked luggage.
"We have five carousels that will open this month, and then at the end of March next year, we will have all 10 carousels working with the new baggage handling system," Chin said. In order to staff the new facility with immigration and customs officers, the airport will temporarily close Concourse E until further notice. Continue

MIA moves 30,000-40,000 bags per day
A new multimillion-dollar baggage system is now open at Miami International Airport, and demolition has begun on the old shed. The biggest phase of MIA's $2.9 billion North Terminal has been handled. "You're talking a fully automated system from the ticket counter to the aircraft. It gets screened for explosives and delivered to your gate," said MIA Communications Director Greg Chin.
A labyrinth of conveyor belts stretches a total of 14 miles through the airport. The system can handle 6,000 bags per hour, and currently moves 30,000 to 40,000 bags per day. The fully automated baggage handling system cost $220 million, but it has already processed more than 3 million bags and been handed over to American Airlines.
Also, the demolition of MIA's old baggage shed makes room for three more gates. The old facility has been in operation for 20 years and was not only outdated, but it was in the way. "This is about 100,000 square feet of space and a lot of metal," Chin said.
Now, American's new linear gates are more productive than the old bicycle hub and spoke design. "Flights are able to come in and out now like a two-way street with this baggage shed gone," Chin said. Officials said the new setup will allow American to operate 500 flights per day, rather than 300. Continue
July 11, 2012
Miami International Airport has completed what Miami-Dade County's aviation director calls "probably the most significant milestone" in the $2.9 billion North Terminal: The $220 million automated baggage handling system has successfully concluded 105 days of operations. MIA's system is designed to screen and transport 6,400 bags per hour from the 1.3-mile-long North Terminal's 152 ticket counters to 50 aircraft gates. The North Terminal is also known as Concourse D.
The system has already handled more than 3 million bags (about 32,000 per day) and met its performance specifications, a news release from the county said. The system has 22 explosive detection machines, 12 miles of conveyor belts and scanners to identify tags on each bag to send it to the right gate. Miami-Dade Aviation Department Director José Abreu said, "The baggage system is the brain of this 3.5-million-square-foot facility, connecting all 50 gates, and without it North Terminal would not function effectively.

New Miami International Arrival Hub Can Clear 3,600 Passengers an Hour
Flying into Miami should get easier for international travelers when Miami International Airport opens a new Federal Inspection Services facility this summer. The three-level, 400,000-square-foot area is scheduled to partially open in July, with all 72 passport control lanes operating to process international arrivals. "Once fully complete, the new FIS area will be able to process 3,600 international passengers per hour upon their arrival to the US," said Miami International spokesman Greg Chin.
The new area features 10 baggage claim carrousels, five of which will open in July on the second level. The ground level features a new greeter's lobby. The new Federal Inspection Services area is twice the size of the airport's current federal inspection area in Concourse E, which currently serves American Airlines' international flights. The new federal inspection area is one of the last parts of the airport's multibillion-dollar North Terminal construction project to be completed. The only things remaining to be done on the terminal project is the completion of the federal inspection area and three gates nearest to the old baggage handling system, Mr. Chin said. Continue

"They love to spend, and they love that our prices are much lower than Brazil,'' Serrano said on a recent evening at the luxury airport concession, which opened last year, flanked by Coach and Thomas Pink shops on one side and Mont Blanc on the other. A few minutes later, Serrano was tapping an iPhone app in a bid to translate a message into Mandarin for a perplexed Chinese customer: His Miami-Los Angeles flight was a domestic one, making him ineligible to buy in the duty-free store. He nodded in understanding and moved on. "He wanted to buy, but today he can't,'' she explained.
Concessions at the North Terminal are booming, buoyed in part by strong growth in international travelers drawn to its expanded selection of trendy, new shops. The wider selection of high-end stores puts Miami among the front-runners in a global trend of vastly expanding retail and food offerings at airports.
If Miami is the favorite shopping haven for Latin Americans, the North Terminal is emerging as a glittering last-chance mall on their way out of town. "The concessions have really been exceeding everyone's expectations in terms of sales,'' said Miguel Southwell, deputy director for business with the Miami-Dade Aviation Department, which runs the county-owned airport.

By the end of 2012, Miami International Airport (MIA) will have been transformed by completion of the North Terminal Development Program. MIA, which is operated by the Miami-Dade Aviation Department, is the largest US gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean and is one of the leading international passenger and freight airports in the world. 96 different carriers are involved in shifting over two billion tons of freight annually and ensuring the safe travel of almost forty million passengers.
MIA also has a reputation for aesthetics to live up to. Cited within the industry as one of the six most beautiful airports in America and among the top 15 in the world, it is imperative that any new development enhances the environment of calm and tranquility that its operators have sought to cultivate.
"This has been a huge redevelopment project which is costing in the region of $3 billion," states Juan Carlos Arteaga, who has held overall responsibility for the program since March 2006. The most significant challenge of his career to date has involved expanding and renovating five distinct concourses which have been remodeled into a state-of-the-art, 1.3-mile-long linear terminal.

Over the last several years the Miami International Airport has had nearly one million square feet of epoxy terrazzo installed. The expansive concourse areas are decorated with over five thousand cast bronze elements. The artist's desire to create a "journey within the journey" is well communicated in the rendering of a "vortex in space" where multi-color epoxy terrazzo is used to bring the galaxies into a perspective that can be viewed by pedestrians. The black and white epoxy color mixes were poured together simultaneously and a variety of seven different seashells were placed by hand in certain areas. Where the two colors converge, a special technique was implemented in order to create the visual effect of the colors meeting naturally. There are few projects that showcase terrazzo's far-reaching potential quite like the North Terminal at Miami International Airport and when viewed in light of it artistic value, it is one of the nation's most impressive public art installations.

American Airlines' Terminal 8 at JFK Airport
JetBlue's T5 Terminal at JFK Airport
Delta Terminal at Detroit Metro Airport
United/ Continental's Terminal E, Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Airline travel can involve unpleasant moments, from going through security to waiting out bad weather to watching thoughtless passengers with too much baggage. One way airlines and airports can enhance the experience is by making terminals pleasant places to be. These are multibillion dollar projects that take many years, so they involve major bets on the economy. For airlines, it can be difficult to quantify the financial benefit, but it is easy to make the case that gorgeous terminals like American's Terminal Eight at New York's Kennedy Airport provide a competitive advantage, given that international travelers in the New York area have a broad array of choices.
Miami International: It cost too much and it took too long, but the renovation of Miami International Airport is finally nearing completion. The project began in 1995, billed as a $975 million new terminal for hub carrier American. The scope and the cost both swelled. American's terminal ended up costing $3 billion, while other improvements, including a new terminal for United and its partners, brought the total cost to $6.4 billion.
In 2010, passenger traffic at MIA grew 5.0%, to reach 35.7 million, as carriers added eight new international destinations including Berlin, Brasilia (on two carriers) and Moscow. International traffic accounted for 17 million passengers, making MIA the country's second biggest international airport after New York Kennedy. This year, the Skyteam alliance is growing, with Delta adding daily service to London Heathrow while KLM begins four weekly flights to Amsterdam. Other carriers plan Amsterdam and Lisbon service.

American Airlines Announces Record-Breaking Numbers at Miami Hub
American Boards More Than 39,000 Passengers in a Single Day
American Airlines today announced it has hit a record-breaking milestone for its operations at Miami International Airport (MIA). On Saturday, March 12, the airline boarded 39,283 passengers at MIA, a record day for the hub. Sunday, March 13, marked the second-highest figures for boarded passengers, with 38,914 customers traveling on American.
"This is a tremendous accomplishment," said Marilyn DeVoe, Vice President of American's Miami hub. "Our flight schedule has been steadily increasing over the past years, and we know that these numbers will only continue to grow as MIA strengthens its reputation as a world-class travel center, thanks in part to the North Terminal."
American's Miami hub now operates from the nearly completed North Terminal – a state-of-the-art facility with 48 international and domestic jet gates, a new people-mover system and expanded check-in and baggage facilities. Continue

One of the last pieces in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) mega-puzzle at Florida's Miami International Airport – the transformation of its Concourses A through D into what is now called the North Terminal, is nearly complete: 44 of the North Terminal's 50 gates were open by late 2010 and the last six will open this year. In August, 2010, American Eagle's Regional Commuter Facility, complete with 12 hard stands and two full contact gates, officially opened. On September 15 passengers started using the Skytrain, built on the North Terminal's roof.
The US$2.94 billion North Terminal Development Program (NTDP), part of the biggest CIP for the airport since the 1950s, has involved replacing the 'finger' type concourse configuration with a more efficient, mile-long (1.6km) linear terminal. The work includes nine additional gates, 20 refurbished jet bridges and 28 new jet bridges from Thyssen- Krupp Airport Systems, 1,800,000ft² (167,185m²) of renovated space and 1,900,000ft² (176,472m²) of new construction, including a 400,000ft² (37,152m²) federal inspection facility. Current passenger throughput is about 36 million a year and the airport can now handle up to 56 million passengers a year. Continue

Miami International Airport was recently voted one of the top 15 most noteworthy airports in the 2011 Passenger Terminal World Annual Review. The airport copped the distinction for the range of retail offerings available in its North Terminal. The judges felt the terminal's nearly 20 stores stocked a range of brand merchandise that evoked "South Florida chic, " and offered items travelers could find in downtown Miami.
Airport officials said they wanted to ensure travelers connecting through the hub with a lot of downtime had access to a variety of shopping outlets without having to leave the facility. "The new stores have brought an exciting atmosphere and image to the terminal, and we want to reflect that new spirit," Greg Chin, communications director of the Miami-Dade Aviation Department said, responding to the award.

|Best Miami Food Court 2010: Miami International Airport's North Terminal
Granted, the quality of eats found in food courts is generally not of epicurean note, but the selections at Miami International Airport's North Terminal (post-security, especially) give travelers a good taste of some pretty recognizable local offerings, so it deserves cred.
Tourists who get to the airport late or go straight to South Beach would miss out on Little Havana's top menu items (AKA some of the finest Cuban eats in the city), if not for Café Versailles and La Carreta representing at MIA. How tragic for those sunburned visitors to not try one little smoky ham croqueta or medianoche before they go back home! Continue

Fish, any of approximately 34,000 species of vertebrate animals (phylum Chordata) found in the fresh and salt waters of the world. Living species range from the primitive jawless lampreys and hagfishes through the cartilaginous sharks, skates, and rays to the abundant and diverse bony fishes. Most fish species are cold-blooded; however, one species, the opah (Lampris guttatus), is warm-blooded.
The term fish is applied to a variety of vertebrates of several evolutionary lines. It describes a life-form rather than a taxonomic group. As members of the phylum Chordata, fish share certain features with other vertebrates. These features are gill slits at some point in the life cycle, a notochord, or skeletal supporting rod, a dorsal hollow nerve cord, and a tail. Living fishes represent some five classes, which are as distinct from one another as are the four classes of familiar air-breathing animals—amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. For example, the jawless fishes (Agnatha) have gills in pouches and lack limb girdles. Extant agnathans are the lampreys and the hagfishes. As the name implies, the skeletons of fishes of the class Chondrichthyes (from chondr, "cartilage," and ichthyes, "fish") are made entirely of cartilage. Modern fish of this class lack a swim bladder, and their scales and teeth are made up of the same placoid material. Sharks, skates, and rays are examples of cartilaginous fishes. The bony fishes are by far the largest class. Examples range from the tiny sea horse to the 450-kg (1,000-pound) blue marlin, from the flattened soles and flounders to the boxy puffers and ocean sunfishes. Unlike the scales of the cartilaginous fishes, those of bony fishes, when present, grow throughout life and are made up of thin overlapping plates of bone. Bony fishes also have an operculum that covers the gill slits.
The study of fishes, the science of ichthyology, is of broad importance. Fishes are of interest to humans for many reasons, the most important being their relationship with and dependence on the environment. A more obvious reason for interest in fishes is their role as a moderate but important part of the world's food supply. This resource, once thought unlimited, is now realized to be finite and in delicate balance with the biological, chemical, and physical factors of the aquatic environment. Overfishing, pollution, and alteration of the environment are the chief enemies of proper fisheries management, both in fresh waters and in the ocean. (For a detailed discussion of the technology and economics of fisheries, see commercial fishing.) Another practical reason for studying fishes is their use in disease control. As predators on mosquito larvae, they help curb malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases.
Fishes are valuable laboratory animals in many aspects of medical and biological research. For example, the readiness of many fishes to acclimate to captivity has allowed biologists to study behaviour, physiology, and even ecology under relatively natural conditions. Fishes have been especially important in the study of animal behaviour, where research on fishes has provided a broad base for the understanding of the more flexible behaviour of the higher vertebrates. The zebra fish is used as a model in studies of gene expression.
There are aesthetic and recreational reasons for an interest in fishes. Millions of people keep live fishes in home aquariums for the simple pleasure of observing the beauty and behaviour of animals otherwise unfamiliar to them. Aquarium fishes provide a personal challenge to many aquarists, allowing them to test their ability to keep a small section of the natural environment in their homes. Sportfishing is another way of enjoying the natural environment, also indulged in by millions of people every year. Interest in aquarium fishes and sportfishing supports multimillion-dollar industries throughout the world.
General features
Structural diversity
Fishes have been in existence for more than 450 million years, during which time they have evolved repeatedly to fit into almost every conceivable type of aquatic habitat. In a sense, land vertebrates are simply highly modified fishes: when fishes colonized the land habitat, they became tetrapod (four-legged) land vertebrates. The popular conception of a fish as a slippery, streamlined aquatic animal that possesses fins and breathes by gills applies to many fishes, but far more fishes deviate from that conception than conform to it. For example, the body is elongate in many forms and greatly shortened in others; the body is flattened in some (principally in bottom-dwelling fishes) and laterally compressed in many others; the fins may be elaborately extended, forming intricate shapes, or they may be reduced or even lost; and the positions of the mouth, eyes, nostrils, and gill openings vary widely. Air breathers have appeared in several evolutionary lines.
Many fishes are cryptically coloured and shaped, closely matching their respective environments; others are among the most brilliantly coloured of all organisms, with a wide range of hues, often of striking intensity, on a single individual. The brilliance of pigments may be enhanced by the surface structure of the fish, so that it almost seems to glow. A number of unrelated fishes have actual light-producing organs. Many fishes are able to alter their coloration—some for the purpose of camouflage, others for the enhancement of behavioral signals.
Fishes range in adult length from less than 10 mm (0.4 inch) to more than 20 metres (60 feet) and in weight from about 1.5 grams (less than 0.06 ounce) to many thousands of kilograms. Some live in shallow thermal springs at temperatures slightly above 42 °C (100 °F), others in cold Arctic seas a few degrees below 0 °C (32 °F) or in cold deep waters more than 4,000 metres (13,100 feet) beneath the ocean surface. The structural and, especially, the physiological adaptations for life at such extremes are relatively poorly known and provide the scientifically curious with great incentive for study.
Distribution and abundance
Almost all natural bodies of water bear fish life, the exceptions being very hot thermal ponds and extremely salt-alkaline lakes, such as the Dead Sea in Asia and the Great Salt Lake in North America. The present distribution of fishes is a result of the geological history and development of Earth as well as the ability of fishes to undergo evolutionary change and to adapt to the available habitats. Fishes may be seen to be distributed according to habitat and according to geographical area. Major habitat differences are marine and freshwater. For the most part, the fishes in a marine habitat differ from those in a freshwater habitat, even in adjacent areas, but some, such as the salmon, migrate from one to the other. The freshwater habitats may be seen to be of many kinds. Fishes found in mountain torrents, Arctic lakes, tropical lakes, temperate streams, and tropical rivers will all differ from each other, both in obvious gross structure and in physiological attributes. Even in closely adjacent habitats where, for example, a tropical mountain torrent enters a lowland stream, the fish fauna will differ. The marine habitats can be divided into deep ocean floors (benthic), mid-water oceanic (bathypelagic), surface oceanic (pelagic), rocky coast, sandy coast, muddy shores, bays, estuaries, and others. Also, for example, rocky coastal shores in tropical and temperate regions will have different fish faunas, even when such habitats occur along the same coastline.
Although much is known about the present geographical distribution of fishes, far less is known about how that distribution came about. Many parts of the fish fauna of the fresh waters of North America and Eurasia are related and undoubtedly have a common origin. The faunas of Africa and South America are related, extremely old, and probably an expression of the drifting apart of the two continents. The fauna of southern Asia is related to that of Central Asia, and some of it appears to have entered Africa. The extremely large shore-fish faunas of the Indian and tropical Pacific oceans comprise a related complex, but the tropical shore fauna of the Atlantic, although containing Indo-Pacific components, is relatively limited and probably younger. The Arctic and Antarctic marine faunas are quite different from each other. The shore fauna of the North Pacific is quite distinct, and that of the North Atlantic more limited and probably younger. Pelagic oceanic fishes, especially those in deep waters, are similar the world over, showing little geographical isolation in terms of family groups. The deep oceanic habitat is very much the same throughout the world, but species differences do exist, showing geographical areas determined by oceanic currents and water masses.
Natural history
Life history
All aspects of the life of a fish are closely correlated with adaptation to the total environment, physical, chemical, and biological. In studies, all the interdependent aspects of fish, such as behaviour, locomotion, reproduction, and physical and physiological characteristics, must be taken into account.
Correlated with their adaptation to an extremely wide variety of habitats is the extremely wide variety of life cycles that fishes display. The great majority hatch from relatively small eggs a few days to several weeks or more after the eggs are scattered in the water. Newly hatched young are still partially undeveloped and are called larvae until body structures such as fins, skeleton, and some organs are fully formed. Larval life is often very short, usually less than a few weeks, but it can be very long, some lampreys continuing as larvae for at least five years. Young and larval fishes, before reaching sexual maturity, must grow considerably, and their small size and other factors often dictate that they live in a habitat different than that of the adults. For example, most tropical marine shore fishes have pelagic larvae. Larval food also is different, and larval fishes often live in shallow waters, where they may be less exposed to predators.
After a fish reaches adult size, the length of its life is subject to many factors, such as innate rates of aging, predation pressure, and the nature of the local climate. The longevity of a species in the protected environment of an aquarium may have nothing to do with how long members of that species live in the wild. Many small fishes live only one to three years at the most. In some species, however, individuals may live as long as 10 or 20 or even 100 years.

While the bug is in the client machine, this is a well-known issue that has a trivial work-around. Any PXE server that doesn't implement it has obviously not been tested in real life! The TFTP protocol uses null-terminated file names, while the bootp/DHCP options are length-specified strings without a trailing null. Put this together with the end-of-options value of 255 (0xff), and you get the result you observe. The work-around is to put a '0' option following the boot file name, which results in a boot file name that is both correctly length-specified and null-terminated. We have recently done work implementing the whole protocol suite (bootp/DHCP, TFTP and PXE servers) along with implementing the clients. Why the clients? We needed to simulate large-scale simultaneous boots. I'm pretty much convinced that most other current implementations are lacking or flawed. A cluster needs PXE boot services that are protocol-correct reliable with hundreds of simultaneous clients can relate configuration errors to their source PXE was obviously developed around a hacked-up DHCP server, with the intent to re-use existing servers. But the details of the specification don't isolate the functionality. The result is that the only correct way to implement it is with unified servers must be built together > I've also only been able to get the nodes > to boot off their builtin eepro100 interface, rather than the e1000 > (also-builtin - these are tyan s2720 nodes). This is very common right now. The typical server-class board now has a 10/100 and a gigabit interface. Network booting, Wake-On-LAN and IPMI management are implemented only on the 10/100 interface. But most users want to operate using the gigabit interface. Thus we have had to split our boot services from the operational services, and go through a second discovery phase. Despite the node having its IP configuration passed from the boot client, it must discard that info to figure out which interface it should operate on. -- Donald Becker becker at scyld.com Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 410 Severn Ave. Suite 210 Scyld Beowulf cluster system Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993

We're going to put that big coil along our roof. Let's say 2m by 10m, so the area is 20 square meters. The induced voltage per turn is 20*.005 = 0.1 Volt. That's pretty low, so let's use 100 turns, so the voltage is now 10 Volts. But, the length of the wire in that coil is 22 meters/turn, so we've got about 2200 meters of wire. Assume it's AWG20 (fairly small, but not too small that it will easily break), which has a resistance of about 10 ohms/1000ft (sorry for the US units) or, 72 ohms total for our 100 turn coil. That works out to about 130mA, so we actually are going to dissipate about 1.4Watts in the coil. The optimum load impedance is also 72 ohms, so if we do that, we'll have half the current, and we'll capture a whopping 350mW in our load. > > Let's see.. At $0.34/kWh (the peak rate I pay at home), assuming I do this big coil thing for a year (8000 hours), I will have scammed the power company for 8000*.35 = 2.8kWh or about a dollar's worth of electricity. > > Leaving aside the substantial labor, I also had to go out and buy about 10kg of copper wire, which is about $5-10/kg, depending on the copper market.

The version I'd heard - which is fractionally more plausible - is that the person concerned lived next to one of the Royal Navy's submarine communication transmitters operating at lower than 16KHz.
