It's been a few weeks since I last posted - I've been off on vacation around Banff, Canada plus preparing for the TechEds in China and Hong Kong.
I'll be at the following TechEds in September:
9/14 - 9/16: Shanghai
9/18 - 9/19: Guangzhou
9/21 - 9/23: Beijing
9/25 - 9/27: Kong Kong
I'll be doing the following sessions:
And the rest of the time I'll be hanging out in the DAT cabana talking to customers. I'll be happy to do ad-hoc run-throughs of these decks and my DBCC internals and index fragmentation decks too.
If you're going to be at any of these conferences, stop by to say hi - I'd love to see you!

On The Hook: What a difference a tide makes
The tide rules. No, we're not talking about the University of Alabama's Crimson variety. We're talking about the daily event, imbedded in our planet's nature, that moves the ocean's volume in two different directions every day.
For those of us with fishing rod in hand, that tidal movement is the key factor in predicting piscatorial activity. Imbedded in any of the ocean's creature's nature is a trigger that encourages feeding when the primary ocean baits are being swept along the bottom; and to take a break when that current pauses to change direction or slows to a trickle.
Tides also move great expanses of ocean water multiple times daily. They can change clean water to fouled turbid water and visa versa; ego they, in fact, control the fishing quality. Most fish feed on sight. Can't see; can't feed. Primary exception to that rule is the cursed catfish who are triggered on bait odor.
With all of that as background we move to our story for this week.
If you live inland and fish for walleye and bluegills in Lake Wobegone there is little reason to be concerned with the tidal phenomenon. The lake has some subterranean currents and feeding streams and creeks but they are invisible and inconsequential to the day to day fishing quality.
Fish there, you know the drill. Fish early morning. Overcast is better than bright sunlight. Watch the barometer for best daily fishing times; ... nada ... nada ... nada.
So there's this nice family from somewhere between the mountains and the prairies in the Great Heartland that have a condo here. Belongs to Irv and Marsha the parents/grandparents of this clan.
Irv loves to fish and Marsha loves looking at dolphins and they have been my customers for years. As is customary here, families reunite in the Florida sun, on the Spring Break weeks and so it has been for Irv and Marsha. Our couples nice quiet sojourn has turned hyper for those couple of weeks. Years ago, each spring their three daughters would bring friends and we would do charter trips with a little fishing but mostly sunning and gossiping.
Anyhow, time has run on and two of the girls are married with young families of their own; and now the Spring Break weeks are like a Mardi Gras with the annual charter fishing trip as a centerpiece.
Each girl's family books a separate trip. Numbers of boat passengers are certainly the primary reason for the split trips but, another very evident factor are the son-in-laws.
Joe and George are both supercharged 30-somethings that are in competition; always checking what the other guy did. Even on their annual charter trips here.
So two weeks ago, on a day following one of those windy fronts, Joe booked the morning; George the afternoon. This was setting up to be the Super Bowl event for these guys. In fact, each called me the week before and wanted to know my "strategy."
"My what?" was my response to both. "We're going to get the kids into action ... it's just a simple fishing trip. Nobody's counting." They didn't buy that for a moment.
Our day dawned bright and sunny. The windy front that had barraged us earlier that week was long forgotten to the families but it left an indelible gift of riled water that would be the hidden game changer.
Joe's morning trip was on the last half on that day's incoming tide. We started our trip in Capri Pass working the sand edges by Sand Dollar Island with tipped jigs targeting the much sought after pompano. The water flow was just right and the clarity of the incoming Gulf water was clean and green.
We hadn't been at it ten minutes when one of the kids screamed and was immersed in handling a pompano struggle. Minutes later Joe had a strike and, he too, was doing all he could to bring another pompano aboard. We had four nice size pompano aboard before we moved on to other challenges. Our attempt for some speckled trout up by Rookery Bay was equally successful with steady action but only keeping one nice spec. And so the morning went. The gin clear water and excellent tidal flow were key to a very successful morning fishing trip.
They kept the four nice pompano but only one of any other species we caught all for show. They knew George's gang would be waiting at the dock readying for their afternoon trip but, more importantly, there to check out Joe's catch.
And so it was. Joe gloating as I cleaned his catch. George green with envy and itching to get started. He was certain his gang would do better.
But silent forces of nature were at work. In the last two hours that clean and green incoming tide had crested and the afternoon agenda would be played out on a minimal outgoing tide that was dragging some of the earlier week's riled water back to the Gulf. And George was unaware of both at least not yet.
George was frothing as he watched Joe's filets placed on ice. He couldn't wait he had his kids lined up on he dock, in life jackets and ready to go.
George wanted to fish exactly the same spots Joe's gang had fished in the morning. I tried to caution him on the change in water quality and tidal speed. He would have none of that; to him this was like the final round at the Masters.
We started at Capri Pass in now occluded water that was barely moving. Zero on the pompano; big time on the catfish. We moved on to Rookery Bay where the water was fair but with minimal tidal movement. Zero on the trout but the six inch sheepshead bite was terrific.
We followed orders, moving to Joe's subsequent spots with similar results. George first went silent and then openly despondent and finally; "OK, captain, what can we do in these conditions; I surrender!"
Sadly, I had to inform him that the morning's passioned folly had eroded all but the last hour of their trip and best we could do would be a little ladyfish and jack action for the kids.
We did that to the delight of the children. George and his wife didn't even bother to pick up a rod during that segment. George was forlorn; even asking his wife if she thought Joe would show at the marina on our return to embarrass him.
The trip finished and although disappointing it accomplished one thing. George's firm understanding as to what this called tide can do to a fishing event.

Another Tennessee town decides to pull the poison; water fluoridation to end Nov. 10
Posted By aaron On September 14, 2011 @ 5:30 pm In Medical Tyranny,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Ethan A. Huff
Natural News
Sept 14, 2011
Perhaps 2011 will go down in history as the year marking the eventual end of water fluoridation, when so many cities and towns across the US removed it that the rest had no choice but to ride the momentum and follow suit. WSMV-TV in Nashville, Tenn., reports that officials in Hohenwald, a town just an hour-or-so away from Nashville, have decided to end the town's water fluoridation program beginning on Nov. 10, 2011.
The announcement comes just a few weeks after Spring Hill, Tenn., a Nashville suburb, decided to end artificial fluoridation of its water supply (http://www.naturalnews.com/033479_f…). And like Spring Hill, Hohenwald's decision to axe fluoride, which was reached on Sept. 6, 2011, initially sparked birthed out of citizens' expressed concerns about the safety of this industrial chemical byproduct.
Besides saving Hohenwald tens of thousands of dollars every year, ending water fluoridation will spare Hohenwald's roughly 4,000 residents from having to ingest a neurotoxic poison that is responsible for lowering children's IQ levels, damaging the thyroid gland, and causing untold other long-term harm.
According to a recent report byFood Consumer, the following other North American cities and counties are also now considering an end to water fluoridation:
Nelson County, Virginia
Bolivar, Missouri
College Station, Texas
Dunedin, Florida
Smiths Falls, Ontario
Williams Lake, British Columbia
Hinton, Alberta
Churchill, Manitoba
New York City (NYC) has also been throwing around the idea of ending its water fluoridation program, which currently affects more than eight million people. Councilman Peter Vallone, Jr., the man responsible for initiating a massive campaign to remove fluoride from the Big Apple's water supplies, will soon hold a press conference and rally on the steps of City Hall to kick off the campaign (http://www.naturalnews.com/030933_f…).
Doing your homework on fluoride and presenting the facts about its dangers to your own local water facility just might be all it takes to end fluoridation in your own community, as well.
To learn more about the dangers of fluoride, be sure to visit:

Ducks, Beavers host season openers Saturday
No matter who you root for, college football fans in Oregon have something to cheer about this weekend.
The Oregon State Beavers take on the Portland State Vikings at 1 p.m. Saturday in Reser Stadium, bringing the football fever back to Corvallis.
The last two FCS opponents the Beavers have opened the season against have left Reser with a win. In 2011 it was Sacramento State, last season the Beavers were bested by Eastern Washington.
With the departure of Brandin Cooks, the big question is who will become Sean Mannion's new favorite target. OSU junior Richard Mullaney is likely to make some plays, as he's the most experienced wide receiver coming back for the 2014 season.
While the Beavers fate is somewhat uncertain as they face the Vikings, it's pretty clear how Eugene hometown favorites the University of Oregon Ducks will do in their season opener against South Dakota.
Oregon should easily handle the Coyotes, but one thing for the Duck faithful to watch for is the debuts for freshmen wide receiver Devon Allen and running back Royce Freeman. Allen had a huge season on the track, winning the NCAA and US titles in the high hurdles.
Freeman, a true freshman out of Imperial High School in San Diego, is listed in the starting running back spot as a three-way tie with Thomas Tyner and Byron Marshall. There's no doubt freeman should have his fair share of carries in Saturday's game.
Kick off for the Ducks is 7 p.m. at Autzen Stadium.

Home > Medical
Billing Resource Center > Medical Billing Process
Billing Process
outsource2india.com offers information on different services that can be outsourced to India. They facilitate the outsourcing process by helping source vendors to carry out various outsourcing requirements ranging from medical billing to customer support.
This module takes you through the simplified process with the intent of explaining to you, the functioning on one whole unit that takes place in Medical Billing.
Doctors Office
A patient visits a doctor and explains his/her problem. The doctor then diagnoses what could be the ailment and then draws a chart as to what treatment needs to be rendered, for example if a patient John Doe has stomach pain, then a sequence chart would be drawn up by the provider to explain the treatment pattern.
Documentation at the Front Desk
The patient hands over his card copy, of which insurance he has, in this case we would assume Humana Gold Plus. On the card copy the office manager needs to verify if a referral or pre-authorization needs to be obtained and then contact the respective Primary care physician (gatekeeper) and get this documentation.
Demographics, superbills/charge sheets, insurance verification data and a copy of the insurance card i.e. all the information pertaining to the patient, is sent to the billing office or to our office.
Billing office scans the source documents and saves the image file to an FTP site or on to their server under pre-determined directory paths.Our Scanning department retrieves the files. We have developed an in-house software called BISSY(BILLING INTEGRATED SUPPORTING SOFTWARE). Using this software, scanning team splits the images from a file and arrange them according to patient names.
Files are sent to the appropriate departments with the control log for number of files and pages received. Illegible/missing documents are identified and a mail is sent to the Billing office for rescanning.
Pre-coders then enter the key-in codes for insurance companies, doctors and
Coding team assign the Numerical codes for CPT(Current Procedural Terminology) and the Diagnosis Code based on the description given by the provider.
Charge Team
In this department we have competent individuals who would first enter the patient personal information from the Demographic sheets. They also would check for the relationship of the Diagnosis code and CPT. Then create a charge, according to the billing rules pertaining to the specific carriers and locations. All charges are accomplished within the agreed turnaround time with the client, which is generally 24 hours.
The daily charge entry then needs to be audited to double check the accuracy of this entry, in other words, this is the check and balance to make certain the billing rule is being followed accurately. Also this department verifies for accuracy of the claims based on carrier requirements to ascertain a clean claim.
Claims Transmission
Claims are filed and information sent to the Transmission department.
Carrier Adjudication
The carrier Utilization Review department would then review the claim and after their edit checks, the claim would then be adjudicated on and processed for payment. Then check and an Explanation of Benefits are sent to the provider.
Cash Application
Cash Applications team receives the cash files (Check copy & EOB) and apply the payments in the billing software against the appropriate patient account. During cash application, overpayments are immediately identified and necessary refund requests are generated for obtaining approvals. Also underpayments/denials are informed to the Analysts.
AR analyst are the key to any group. The claims are researched for completeness and accuracy and work orders are set up for the call center to make calls. AR analysts are responsible for the cash collections and resolving all problems to enable the account to have clean AR.
They also research the claims denied by the carriers, rejections received from the clearing house, Low payment by the carriers and appropriate actions are taken. Analyst reviews for global patterns and bulk problems are solved at one instance.
This is the hub of activity around which Medical Billing operates, where the caller would call up Insurance and verify if the claim is with the carrier and what is the current status of it. Whether it is being processed for payment or denial, based on his inputs the analyst goes to work, and gets the required pre-requisites needed, in case of payment he would compile a list of payment details or if denied then corrective action needs to be initiated.
Calling team receives work orders from the analysts and initiate calls to the insurance companies to establish reasons for non-payment of the claims. All reasons are passed on to the Analysts for resolution.
This scenario is then compiled in Excel, for future use when similar problems occur in any other specialty. This information needs to be made available to anyone who needs to review past records to identify solutions to any particular present scenario.
Month End Reports
End of the month we would need to run Doctor Financials and other procedure code usage reports, aged summary reports so that we would asses the momentum that has been achieved this month, and if not see where there is a pattern of non payment.
In this way we could once again tackle any bulk pending issues.

The Sky Wheel is a super spectacular ride that is rarely seen on carnival midways in present day. The Sky Wheel features two ferris wheels attached to opposite ends of a large boom that rotates in the air. Many traveling carnivals no longer operate a Sky Wheel due to transportation and maintenance costs.
Big Rock Amusements is proud to present the ONLY ride of it's kind to feature a state of the art LED lightshow in America.
New for 2015! This super-spectacular attraction will soar riders to new heights of fun! As the swings begin to rotate and increase speed, they ascend to the top of the tower. At over 100 feet tall, the Air Flyer towers over the midway and will be one of the tallest rides of it's kind to travel in the U.S.
48" tall to ride NO SINGLE RIDERS

Thrill seekers will love the Alien Abduction. Considered one of fastest rides on American midways, this spaceship spins riders to intense speeds where they will experience weightless fun. Add a dazzling high-tech lightshow and pulsing dance music and you will see what everyone is talking about!
The Extreme has 16 seats on a big pendulum that swings back and forth. The pendulum has an enormous amplitude and can swing up to the range of 130 degrees on each side. In addition, the seats rotate around the pendulum axis. G-force can reach 1.5 do 2.5G.
At night, the Extreme comes alive with an LED lightshow, strobelights and high energy music.
The Fire Ball is a high speed looping roller coaster that takes riders 60ft in the air! Riders are seated in open air cars and secured with a over-the-shoulder safety harness and seat belt.
48" tall to ride
May not be suitable for guests of exceptional size.

Local reaction to Bobby Bowden's retirement
NAPLES - A lifetime football coach himself, John Weber first met Bobby Bowden nearly a quarter of a century ago.
The former Immokalee High coach understands why a coaching move needed to be made at Florida State, but that doesn't make Bowden's retirement any easier on Seminoles fans or those who appreciate all the coach has done for college football.
"It's a sad day," Weber said.
While coaching at various high schools from 1985 to 1995, Weber took his teams to Bowden's summer camp each year. Working side-by-side with the coaching legend, Weber became friends with Bowden and spoke with him just last year at a football banquet.
After Florida State's recent fall from the ranks of the nation's elite, Weber said Bowden's retirement is "probably the best thing in the long run," but acknowledged it had to be tough on the man who won two national championships.
"He made Florida State a football power," said Weber, who coached 11 seasons at Immokalee and won a state championship in 2004. "He had a tremendous influence on the university, on football and a lot of young people."
Bowden led the Seminoles to 14 straight seasons with a top-five national ranking, something Weber said will never be done again. Those who know Bowden, though, say his biggest contribution to football is how he changed his players' lives.
This season was Bowden's 51st coaching college football. Being at home on autumn afternoons and watching games from the stands rather than the sidelines will be quite an adjustment, Weber said.
Weber coached high school football for 36 years before retiring from Immokalee after the 2007 season. In two seasons since, the former Indians coach said he still misses practices and game days.
The key, Weber added, it to find other ways to occupy your time.
"It's a big change after being in that (coach's) office every day for however long," Weber said. "I'm sure he has other interests. I'm sure he won't miss the headaches and all the publicity the last couple of years."
No matter what direction the Florida State football program goes from here, the Seminoles won't be the same without Bowden.
"It's a sad day in college football," former Barron Collier and Golden Gate coach Dave Tanner said. "Florida State will continue to get back up there to where they want to be, but it just won't be the same for us old guys that have seen Bobby Bowden on the sidelines for 34 years."
Tanner met with Bowden several times during recruiting visits to Southwest Florida. He described Bowden as a caring, compassionate man who made his players better people.
"If I had a son, I'd want him to play for Bobby Bowden," Tanner said. "His presence was so important to his players. He's like a father figure, and so many kids today don't have that."
Florida State alumni still love and respect Bowden, but some are ready for the program to go in a new direction.
After winning nine straight Atlantic Coast Conference titles and two national titles from 1992 to 2000, the Seminoles have won just three conference championships the past 10 seasons. Since 2005, Bowden has gone just 37-27 and lost at least four games each year. He had just six four-loss seasons in his first 29 years at Florida State.
"We need to start a new era of Florida State football," said Bob Votaw, a 1965 grad and former president of the Southwest Florida Seminole Club.
For 12 years, Votaw ran the Seminole Club's golf tournament which Bowden plays in annually. He missed this year's tournament with an ear infection. During that time, Votaw got to know the coach pretty well. Votaw hasn't spoken with Bowden recently, but said he didn't think the retirement was on his own terms.
"Coach Bowden has always said to me that as long as he's healthy he wants to continue coaching," Votaw said. "For his age (80), he's really healthy. He probably would like to continue coaching."
Bowden does like to play golf. Naples' Kris Tamulis, an LPGA Tour player, and PGA Tour player George McNeill, who both played golf for the Seminoles, saw that firsthand.
Bowden frequently hit buckets of practice balls at the university's course after spring football practice was over, but before school was out. McNeill, who was born in Naples and graduated from North Fort Myers, played for Florida State until 1998, and his teammates would watch Bowden and talk with him.
"Hi, boys," Bowden would say. "How's your mom? How's your dad? How's your family?"
McNeill said: "He didn't know you from Adam, but he made you feel like you were one of his kids."
Actually, McNeill and his teammates didn't have much choice but to watch Bowden. They had to pick up Bowden's balls off the range — "he would grab a huge bucket, probably 300 balls," McNeill said.
"The coach made us do it," McNeill said, chuckling. "We can't have Bobby Bowden out there picking up golf balls."
Tamulis, a Naples High alum who graduated from FSU in 2003, also would see Bowden hitting golf balls. A lot of times, Bowden would see Tamulis and her teammates talking.
"You know, young lady, you'd do a lot better if you were practicing instead of talking," Tamulis, who was an All-ACC player, recalled Bowden saying. "He knew who I was, that I was the No. 1 player or whatever. He was a lot of fun to be with."

Turkey: Over 100 Kurdish Rebels Killed in Strikes on Iraq
US 'Providing Intelligence' for Attacks
The Turkish military today said that they had killed over 100 Kurdish rebels in the past month of attacks on northern Iraq's Kurdistan region, including 20 in the past week.
Most of the deaths came in air strikes against the region, but earlier this week hundreds of Turkish soldiers also briefly marched into Iraqi Kurdistan in "hot pursuit" of rebels, sparking a multi-hour gunbattle.
Turkey's military has been launching attacks off and on against northern Iraq for years, as has Iran. Both have cited the mountainous border region as a popular hiding place for Kurdish rebels from their own nations, and Turkey says that the US has been providing "intelligence" for the attacks.
Turkey's clashes are with a group called the PKK, the "Kurdistan Workers' Party," which has regularly been launching attacks inside Turkey for years, but is also seen as expanding attacks in recent months. The group is officially listed as a terrorist organization by the US.

I'm guessing the Turks would be less than pleased if Israel armed the Kurds to the teeth. Perhaps Erdogan might find it harder to massacre them with relative impunity. In light of his brutal aggression towards Kurds and Armenians (and his nation's ongoing occupation of Cyprus), Erdogan's crocodile tears for the Gazans appear as opportunistic as they are phony.
Kurdistan is long overdue. It's time to liberate this long-oppressed people from their Turkish, Syrian, Iranian, and Iraqi tormentors (well, at least Saddam's gone). Viva Kurdistan!
Obviously if Israel had bombed a neighboring country, killing hundreds (and the death toll of Kurds murdered by Turks is actually in the tens of thousands) everyone would be up in arms. But apparently it's only a crime if Jews do it.
As far as the Kurds and Israelis go, they have an ancient and long-standing relationship, stemming from the establishing of a Jewish community in Kurdistan in the 8th century BC. When the Jews were fighting Roman imperialists in the first century AD, the Kurds sent them troops to help. But apparently today the Jews aren't allowed to have allies. Or the anti-semites wish to perpetuate the lie that everyone in the world, especially the mideast, hates the Jews. Which of course is nonsense.
It is time that Israel armed the Kurds with shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles, night vision, anti-personnel mines, artillery with guided "smart" shells, and most important of all – nerve gas artillery. The Turks need to be taught a lesson for opposing Israel.
[…] Turkey bombs Iraq, killing at least 100. More here. […]

Matilda Pfeiffer Museum Presents Program on the Paragould MeteoritePosted Saturday, February 6, 2010, at 9:10 PM
On display at the Matilda Pfeiffer Museum are 3 stones from outer space-meteorite samples from the Paragould record-setting impact (on right), and rocks chemically analyzed to have come from the Moon and Mars. These will be on display at the presentation by Renshaw on the 80th anniversary of the Paragould Meteorite, Feb. 17.
That day will also be the 80th anniversary of the meteorite fall, which, at 820 pounds, was, at that time, the largest stone meteorite in the world to be recovered. It is currently the fourth largest stony meteorite in the world, now located at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. A small piece of the meteorite from Renshaw's collection, now on permanent loan at the Museum, will be available for viewing at the presentation. The meteorite, along with another piece at 73 pounds, fell southwest of Paragould on February 17, 1930, at 4:08 AM, waking the area, and causing a cattle stampede. Parts of the stones are also on display at institutions around the world.
This presentation will also be made at the Greene County Library, sponsored by the Greene County Museum, at 120 North 12th Street, Paragould on Saturday, February 13 at 10 AM.
The public is invited.

I thought of you and your interests when my son, Eric, and I watched the launch of STS 130 (Endeavor)Sunday morning at 4:14 AM from the Titusville, FL Spaceview Park. This was the last nighttime launch of this shuttle series. We thought it was spectacular!
The beauty of it made up for the scrub of the same mission the previous morning at 4:39 AM. We had driven up from Stuart, FL to see it, but there was too much of a cloud layer for a launch.

What a night!
I played with my own jazz quintet, featuring my dad Jeremy on guitar, and trombone legend Annie Whitehead.
I also did a special duet with poet Lemn Sissay which made my spine tingle.
Polar Bear played a storming solo set which redefined experimental jazz to me.
Then I joined Polar Bear in the second half for what was my single most incredible experience with free improvisation.
I 'battled' their drummer and leader Seb Rochford, had my voice mangled and magnified by Leafcutter John's electronics, and we created some incredible music!
Check out the MP3 of the first piece we did. I've called it 'Stephats'.
Then as the finale both bands came back onstage for a massive jam! Too awesome for words. The Guardian gave us a 4-star review.

WASHINGTON – It's now officially street sweeping season in the District, which means drivers have to follow parking sign directions.
Enforcement isn't supposed to start until March 12, but numerous $100 rush-hour tickets recently were written in the 600 block of Harvard Street NW that shouldn't have been.
D.C. Department of Public Works spokesperson Linda Grant did not have the number of tickets written available, but says so far that's the only area where tickets were written prematurely.
Grant says DPW will void the tickets, but those concerned also can send an email here to make sure the ticket is rescinded.

More than ten years – that's how long my first visit to Angkor (Cambodia) dates back. It is one of the few places I ever revisited and in case you haven't been there yet: go if you have the chance.
Angkor was the center of the Khmer Empire which flourished from the 9th to the 15th century. With more than one million inhabitants it was once the biggest city on earth. That was before it's downfall which was accelerated by water and food shortages. Today, countless temples in an area of 400 square kilometers are full of surprises. Be it the stories you discover 'reading' the magnificent reliefs or the incredible sights of temples covered by trees. Leaving the beaten track, you will discover sad remains of the civil war as well as beautiful sculptures in rivers crossing the jungle. Or you are surprised by people like this old lady, who was sitting in a chamber which I coincidently found while stumbling over stone blocks of a ruined temple. Judging from the look on her face, I'd say she was also positively surprised to see me.

Tag-team player wins
With South lacking numbers, junior takes on new sport
By larry lopez THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN
Published: September 11, 2013; Last modified: September 11, 2013 09:40AM
Michael Ramirez has the patience of Job on the tennis court.
The South High School junior patiently wears down his opponent with a deliberate style of play. Shoot, watching paint dry could be faster.
On Tuesday, it was Pueblo County's Blair Kratzer who fell to Ramirez 6-1, 6-1 in their South-Central League No. 3 singles match at the City Park courts.
South needed a split win from Mark Madic at No. 2 singles to win the dual 4-3. It was the Colts' first win of the season.

Affordable luxury ŌĆō thatŌĆÖs how the B Resort & Spa in the Downtown Disney area of OrlandoŌĆÖs Walt Disney World area will distinguish itself from the competition, said its general manager, Keith Wolling.
The 394-room property, which opened on June 16, features an array of features and amenities that will provide it with a competitive edge, said Wolling, including free WiFi throughout the resort, and complimentary iPads and gaming consoles available at the front desk.
The resort was originally opened as the Royal Plaza Hotel in 1972. ŌĆ£This was not a renovation,ŌĆØ said Wolling, ŌĆ£this was a full redevelopment project.ŌĆØ
Rooms and suites feature signature Blissful beds and 47-inch flat-screen televisions. ┬ĀTwenty ŌĆ£family-friendlyŌĆØ rooms are equipped with bunk beds.
The property even boasts a ŌĆ£B experience manager,ŌĆØ a liaison between the brand and the actual property, and is responsible for ŌĆ£B experiences.ŌĆØ
ŌĆśI work hand-in-hand with the brand making sure we are translating and creating those experiences for the guest on property,ŌĆØ said Ana Suarez, the B experience manager.
For instance, the hotel features a B Artistic Exhibit, showcasing the work of local artists in its public areas, which guests can purchase.
The resort has also created a B Humane program in conjunction with the Wildlife Foundation of Florida, which is designed to protect indigenous species. The mascot of the program is the endangered gopher frog. Accommodations feature stuffed gopher frog animals, which are available for sale. Part of the proceeds are donated to Wildlife Foundation of Florida.
All things considered, the property is capable of handing any type of guests, from business travelers to groups to families, said Wolling.
It also features 25,000 square feet of meetings space, a B Indulged By Aveda spa, a B Active Fitness Center, a zero-entry pool, and the American Q restaurant, which is the brainchild of Jeffrey Chocorow, who operates the well-known China Grill in New York City.
┬ĀŌĆ£You have the families that come to Disney where the parents are as engaged as the kids are with the Disney events and theme parks, said Wolling. ŌĆ£And then you have the families that when they come back to the hotel they want to pamper themselves and have something unique and distinguishable such as the spa and signature restaurant and being in touch.ŌĆØ
The property also unveiled a B Our Preferred Travel Agent rewards program, which offers higher commissions, special rates and promotions, and fam trips.

Charlie Coyle looked up during the Wild's first scrimmage of training camp Friday and saw Mikael Granlund.
Off the ice, the pair of 21-year-olds are good friends. But during camp, they're competing for the open spot at center on the team's second line. They exchanged a quick look, nothing more.
Their first test of the scrimmage -- a faceoff against the other.
"I think it's fun," Granlund said of the competition. "We're really good friends with each other. Hopefully we can both play in the NHL and contribute for the organization."
After two days on the ice, coach Mike Yeo gave favorable reviews for both players.
Thursday, he said Granlund looked like he was skating better after summer workouts.
Friday, Yeo said he was impressed with Coyle's ability to move from the wing, which he played all of last season, to center.
"What I like," Yeo said, "is we all know how good he is from the top of the circles and down, but I think he's a guy that's gained a step and looked quicker, and he's showing that he's got the ability to play a big ice game, too. And I think that's a real important thing for him if he's going to play that center position -- you need somebody that's going to carry the puck, you need somebody who can work his way into the open ice and then distribute it from there, and he's so far shown that ability."

Jack Crider hit a wall during his father's third deployment.
It wasn't just his father's absence, or the prospect of him dying in Iraq. It was the unexpected move, from Virginia to Georgia, that meant the young boy was dealing with his fourth new school just as he started second grade. It was leaving his friends again. It was being the new kid in an unfamiliar neighborhood again. It was the stress of being a military kid who has never known a time without war.
"It was a collision of all of these factors – the perfect storm – at a time when he needed to be connected to his dad," Jill Crider says of her son, who was 8 when his father, Col. Jim Crider, left for his third combat tour in 2009. "He went from a child who loved school to a child who would wake up crying and beg me not to take him to school."
Soon, she was dropping him off at the school and, by the time she returned home, someone was calling to say that Jack was in the counselor's office, distraught. "I never saw it coming until it was full in my face," Crider says. "I was brokenhearted."
The difficulty the Criders faced resonates with military families across the country as children deal with repeated deployments and the stress borne by parents who are left behind.
"The deployment of military parents is taking a toll on the mental health of children," says epidemiologist Alyssa Mansfield, who analyzed the medical records of more than 307,000 Army children in the most comprehensive study to date. "The longer the deployments, the more problems children experience."
No one knows what the long-term consequences will be. "I'm just afraid we don't know how much is too much," Crider says, "until it is too much."
Stress Points | The medical community is noticing the strain. Active-duty Army children whose parents deploy are more likely to experience depression, anxiety and other mental health challenges than children whose parents don't deploy, according to Mansfield's analysis of their medical care from 2003 through 2006.
Overall, there were more than 6,500 additional mental health cases among children of deployed parents during the four years of the study. The results are conservative, given that Mansfield's study was limited to children 5 to 17 whose parents had been in the military for at least five years, and only included children who had received diagnoses for mental health problems. "I wouldn't be surprised if this number was three or four times higher," says Mansfield, who conducted the research at the University of North Carolina before taking her current job with VA's National Center for PTSD.
Boys appear to handle the strain of repeated deployments worse than girls. Older children have a tougher time than younger children. "Older children probably have a better understanding of exactly what's happening when their parent deploys," Mansfield says.
Crider saw her son's reactions change over time. When he was 5 and his father was serving his second deployment in Iraq, Jack matter-of-factly asked her, "What happens if Dad gets killed?" Although she nearly ran off the road when her son lobbed that question from the back seat of their car, Crider was able to reassure Jack, and he never broached the subject again. But when his father was back in Iraq three years later, her son's resilience evaporated.
"At 8, it's different," Crider says. "He starts to feel the responsibility of being a young man. I think his security was threatened when I had a bad day or felt sad. And I never realized how much he would miss his dad."
By the time her husband came home on R&R, the situation was serious. "Nothing says 'welcome home' like 'Get in the car, we're going to see the school counselor,'" Crider says.
The strains Jack Crider and other military children experience go far beyond what most civilian children face.
"People should be very cautious in trying to compare military children to civilian children, because deployment is unique to military children," says Mansfield, whose study of military children appeared in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. "Trauma and stress are not unique to military children. But deployment is a very different kind of stressor. It's chronic, and it's repeated, and it involves long periods of time. It also potentially involves the stress of their caretaker."
Crider can relate. She worries that Jack absorbed her stress from previous deployments. Her father died, and her nephew and a close friend were killed in accidents, during her husband's first combat tour in Iraq in 2003. Her 80-year-old mother was also hospitalized. During the next deployment, Crider served as Family Readiness Group leader for her husband's battalion, part of a brigade that had more than 100 soldiers killed during its 15 months in Iraq. She also fell down a flight of stairs and broke her ankle. Then on the eve of her son's birthday party a month later, Crider was hospitalized with a brown-recluse spider bite.
"I think there also was a delayed response to all of the stress of the (previous) deployments," Crider says of her son reaching his limit. "I sat there and I wondered, 'How much of this is my fault because I'm not handling this deployment well? How much of this is because I'm tired at the end of the day?'"
Separation Anxiety | Some children experience problems as soon as their military parents begin deploying. Maj. Vinston Porter's daughter broke down the first time he went to Iraq.
"She was aware of the dangers of Iraq, and she knew that it meant Daddy was going away for a long time," Porter says about Rylei, who was 4 at the time.
Porter's wife, Stacey, found a private counselor to help Rylei. That counseling continued after Porter returned to Fort Stewart, Ga., and throughout his second deployment. He participated in the sessions with his wife and his daughter when he was home. "It was helpful to get tools and to address the situation for my wife and I and our daughter," he says.
Porter's son Blake, then 2, didn't have the same outward emotional reaction to his father's absence. But it took nearly all of the two weeks of Porter's R&R that first deployment for his son to warm up to him.
The second deployment, Porter was able to have weekly contact with his family via Skype. That virtual contact helped. His daughter's face lit up at being able to see her father, and his son wasn't standoffish when Porter came home on R&R. "Skype helped me keep up with the kids' progress better than simply reading and viewing pictures in emails," Porter adds.
Other military families give Skype and similar tech tools mixed reviews. In some cases, it keeps the family bonds alive. In others, it's a painful reminder a mom or dad is gone. And when there's a communications blackout, mandatory when there's a combat casualty, anxiety increases as families wait to find out whose loved one is injured or dead.
Meanwhile, the aftereffects of the deployments linger. Rylei Porter experiences separation anxiety, especially when family and friends visit.
"She always asks them when they are leaving and why they have to leave," Porter says. "These emotional events have left their mark on both kids," he adds. "In my opinion, reintegration will take at least a year."
Porter's family has moved to California, where he is spending a year at Google as part of the Army's Training with Industry program. That's created some new challenges for his daughter, including getting used to her father being around again and entering a new school for the first time.
"Unlike Georgia, the new school and surrounding community are less populated with military families, especially those who've endured deployments," Porter says. "There have been incidents that spark thoughts about being back in Georgia, where she didn't have these problems."
Suddenly Military | National Guard and reserve children, meanwhile, face particularly difficult challenges.
"As a Guard child, I think you may feel isolated," says Kerri Beckert, who supports Guard and reserve families as a program manager for the Military Children Education Coalition (MCEC). "They may feel like they are the only ones going through this."
The transition is also more abrupt. "Until Mom or Dad or big brother deploys, these children often don't think of themselves as part of the military community," Beckert says. "With deployment, they are suddenly military."
Trusting military children with information about their parents' deployment can help ease their stress. So does giving them a sense of control. "When we let them make decisions about what papers to send him or what questions to ask him on the phone, I think that helps children understand they have the ability to get through it," Beckert says.
MCEC encourages Guard and reserve families to notify a child's support network when a mother or father is about to be deployed. "It's important to let the school know, so there's communication between the counselor, the teacher and the principal," Beckert says.
The coalition helps military families become effective advocates for their children's education, in part by helping smooth the frequent moves that are standard fare for military families. It backed the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children, an agreement that prevents military children from being excluded from schools, advanced-placement classes and sports tryouts because of the timing of a move, "so you don't have that kid who can't graduate on time because he only has half the gym credits he needs," Beckert says.
The coalition teaches classes on resiliency and helps parents prepare long-term academic plans for their children. "We're just giving them a toolkit – here's what works for other parents, here's what may work for you," says Beckert, who, as a mother of two and an Army wife of 23 years, knows the challenges firsthand.
The coalition also encourages parents to market their kids as military children when they are applying to college, because they bring a global perspective, are goal-oriented and are quick to make friends. "Most military children can say 'please' and 'thank you' in three languages," Beckert says. "Civilian personnel need to understand that there is more that is wonderful and courageous and strong about military children than is broken."
They also need to realize that military families are also committed.
"Nobody wants to go to war," Crider says. "You also don't train for 20 years not to. What got me through was my faith and my choices every day."
She also knows that, as a commanding officer's wife with another deployment on the horizon, her family stands as an example for others facing the same struggles with their children.
"It's really at the point that we just try our best – that's all anyone can really do," Crider says. "If we don't make a way – if we don't show how – I think we do a huge disservice to the families just starting their lives in the military."

Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (IATA: BWI, ICAO: KBWI, FAA LID: BWI) is, as of calendar year 2014, the largest, by passenger count, of three major airports serving the Baltimore–Washington Metropolitan Area in the United States, the other two being Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport. It is commonly referred to as BWI or BWI Marshall. Located next to the CDP Linthicum[3] in northern unincorporated Anne Arundel County, Maryland, the airport is about 10 miles (16 km) south of Baltimore[4] and 32 miles (51 km) northeast of Washington, D.C.[5] The airport is named after Thurgood Marshall, a Baltimore native who was the first African American to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States.
BWI is a focus city for Southwest Airlines, the third largest airport by number of departures for that airline after Chicago Midway and Las Vegas as of its June 2015 schedule.[6] With a 71% market share in 2014[7] (including subsidiary AirTran), BWI is also a fortress hub for Southwest. A record 22.7 million passengers traveled through BWI in 2012,[8] an increase of 1.3% over the previous year. BWI was the 23rd busiest airport of North America and the 69th in the world in 2013 by number of passengers.[9]
In 2010 BWI was ranked as the best airport of its size (15–25 mil. passengers) in the world by the Airports Council International based on its 2009 Airport Service Quality survey.[10] The airport also won second place for North American airports in the "Best Food and Beverage Program" of the 2010 Richard A. Griesbach Excellence in Airport Concessions Contest, sponsored by the Airports Council International.[11]

Planning for a new airport on 3,200 acres (1,300 ha) to serve the Baltimore/Washington area began just after the end of World War II. Ground was broken in 1947.[12] Located in Anne Arundel County, Maryland next to the site where Friendship Methodist Church stood until 1948,[13] Friendship International Airport was dedicated on June 24, 1950, by President Harry Truman. Truman arrived in the Independence from Washington National carrying Governor William Preston Lane, Jr. and Baltimore Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr. on his first aircraft flight.[14] The following month the airlines moved to the new airport from Baltimore Municipal Airport (southeast of Baltimore at 39°15′N 76°32′W / 39.25°N 76.53°W). The Official Airline Guide for April 1957 shows 52 weekday departures: 19 Eastern, 12 Capital, 8 American, 4 National, 3 TWA, 3 United, 2 Delta, and 1 Allegheny. Miami had a couple of nonstops, but westward nonstop flights did not reach beyond Ohio; Baltimore's reach expanded when jet service started. The early Boeing 707s and Douglas DC-8s could not use Washington National Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport did not open until 1962, so Baltimore became Washington's jet airport in May–June 1959 when American and TWA began transcontinental 707 flights.[15]
The State of Maryland, through the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), purchased Friendship International Airport from the City of Baltimore for $36 million in 1972.[16] Under MDOT, the Maryland State Aviation Administration took over airfield operations and grew from three employees to more than 200. Plans to upgrade, improve, and modernize all Maryland airport facilities were announced almost immediately by the Secretary of Transportation, Harry Hughes. To attract passengers from the Washington area, the airport was renamed Baltimore/Washington International Airport in 1973.[17]
The first phase of BWI modernization was completed in 1974 at a cost of $30 million. Upgrades included improved instrument landing capabilities and runway systems, and construction of three new air cargo terminals, expanding the airport's freight capacity to 2.53 acres (1.02 ha).[17]
The passenger terminal renovation program was complete in 1979, the most dramatic work of the airport's modernization, which was designed by DMJM along with Peterson & Brickbauer.[18] The BWI terminal more than doubled in size to 14.58 acres (5.90 ha); the number of gate positions increased from 20 to 27. The total cost was $70 million. To continue the work, the BWI Development Council was established to support initiatives for airport development.[17]
The BWI Rail Station opened in 1980, providing a rail connection to passengers on the busy Northeast Corridor through Amtrak. BWI was the first airport in the U.S. with a dedicated intercity rail station.[19] In particular, the station provided relatively easy transit access to Washington, D.C., something that Dulles will not have until 2018 at the earliest. In 1997 a new international terminal (Concourse E), designed by STV Group and William Nicholas Bodouva & Associates,[20] was added,[21] though Dulles continues to hold the lion's share of the region's international flights, and BWI has not attracted many long-haul international carriers. British Airways has had a presence at BWI for many years. AerLingus, Air Jamaica, Air Aruba, Air Greenland, El Al, Ghana Airways, Icelandair, KLM, Ladeco, and Mexicana previously flew to BWI. Military flights, operated by the U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command, continue to have a significant presence at BWI.[citation needed]
In the first half of the 1990s runway 15L/33R was extended 1,800 feet from 3,199 feet to its current length of 5,000 feet allowing it to be used for smaller passenger jets like the 737.
Beginning in the 1980s and later for much of the 1990s, BWI was a major hub for Piedmont Airlines and successor US Airways, but that airline's financial difficulties in the wake of the dot-com bust, the September 11 attacks, and intense low fare competition forced it to reduce its presence at the airport. The airport has been a major haven for low-cost flights in the Baltimore/Washington Metropolitan Area since Southwest Airlines' arrival in September 1993[22] and subsequent expansion in the early 2000s. Southwest is the airport's largest carrier, accounting for 56.12% of passengers carried in 2011.[23] Southwest Airlines currently serves on average 245 daily departures to destinations in the US, Mexico and the Caribbean.
To accommodate Southwest's extensive presence at the airport, in 2005 Concourses A and B were expanded, renovated, and integrated with one another to house all of that airline's operations there. This new facility, designed by URS Corporation, opened on May 22, 2005. On October 1 of that year, the airport was renamed again, to Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, to honor the former US Supreme Court justice, who grew up in Baltimore.[24][25]
On Aug 5, 2014 little-used [26] runway 04-22 was permanently closed. It was only 6,000 feet long and used primarily when the main runways needed to be closed for repairs. BWI Marshall's 6,000 foot-long Runway 4-22 was rarely used. The last operation on the runway was a Southwest Airlines flight from Chicago Midway that arrived at 4:18 a.m. on Tuesday, August 5.[27]
The airport has been a backdrop in numerous films, including The Silence of the Lambs, Goldfinger, Broadcast News, and Twelve Monkeys.
In late 2008, Health magazine named BWI the second healthiest airport in the United States.[28] In 2009 the airport had a six percent increase in air travelers due to the proliferation of discount flights.[29] In a 2009 survey of airport service quality by Airports Council International, BWI was the world's top ranking airport in the 15-to-25-million-passenger category.[30] BWI also ranked seventh, in medium-sized airports, based on customer satisfaction conducted by J.D Power and Associates.[31]
Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport has five concourses, though Concourses A and B were essentially merged into a single concourse in the renovations completed in 2005.[24] The Maryland Aviation Administration has its headquarters on the third floor of the terminal building.[32]
Passenger concourses[edit]
Concourses A and B have 25 gates: A1 to A11 and B2 to B15.
Southwest Airlines is the only tenant of concourses A and B.
Concourse C has 14 gates: C1 to C14.
The tenants of the concourse are Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines and US Airways. Concourse C is connected to Concourses A/B by a secure connector.
Concourse D has 38 gates: D1 to D5, D7, D8, D10 to D16, D21 to D42, D46, and D47.
It serves Air Canada Express, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, and United Airlines. The far end of Concourse D is built at ground level to serve small regional planes. Gates D30-D35 and D38-D47 are blocked off to passengers with a temporary wall.
Concourse E has 5 gates: E1, E3, E4, E6, and E8.
Officially known as the Governor William Donald Schaefer International Terminal, it serves Southwest Airlines (international arrivals that are not pre-cleared), British Airways, Condor and WOW Air. All international arrivals from non-pre-cleared destinations and all charter airlines are handled at Concourse E. The Air Mobility Command has a post in Concourse E flying active service troops out to worldwide destinations.
Cargo concourse[edit]
The airport's cargo concourse covers a 395,000 sq ft (36,700 m2) area. Its facilities include a 60,000 sq ft (5,600 m2) cargo building in the Midfield Cargo Complex, a foreign trade zone, a 17 acres (6.9 ha) air cargo ramp, and ramp parking for 17 aircraft with direct nose-in access for 8 freighters.
Airline lounges[edit]
- British Airways contracts the Chesapeake Club Lounge in Concourse E, near entrance to the concourse, for use by its elite and Club World passengers.
- The USO operates a lounge on the lower level of the Terminal between Concourses D and E for United States military personnel and their families.
- Airspace Lounge opened on May 7, 2011.[33]
Terminal improvements[edit]
Currently improvements are being made to widen concourse C. Concourse C will be given the level of amenities found at the A and B concourses in approximately 8,500 square feet (790 m2) of new food and retail space. On April 30, 2013, the airport opened the new concourse C security checkpoint, with nine security lanes, the most at the airport, as well as a new concourse A/B-C connector.[34]
The Federal Aviation Administration is currently in the process of designing a new air traffic control tower that will replace the current tower.[35] The new tower is estimated to cost between $21 million and $26 million and be 228 feet tall.[36] There is no estimated start date.
On July 12, 2013, BWI Airport and the Maryland Aviation Administration launched a 3-year $125 million construction project. This project will include modernizing concourse D, a new airside connection linking concourse D and E, and the new configuration of the concourses will allow 2 gates on concourse D to serve both domestic and international flights. The project is scheduled to begin in late 2014 with an estimated completion date of fall 2016.[37]

Operations and statistics[edit]
With winds from the north or west, aircraft will generally land on runway 33L and depart on runway 28. When the winds are from the south or east, arrivals are on runway 10 and departures are on runway 15R. Use of the smaller parallel runway (33R/15L) is restricted to smaller propeller-driven aircraft and small corporate jets. The largest planes that land at BWI regularly are Boeing 757s, McDonnell Douglas MD-11s, and Boeing 767s. Because of the many cargo and charter operations at BWI, it is common to see one or two Boeing 747s or Airbus A330s on a daily basis as well. Runway 10/28 was closed for a 60-day period that began on August 20, 2012 to update and implement safety requirements for Runway Safety Areas established by the Federal Aviation Administration.[47]
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2011, the airport had 276,133 aircraft operations, an average of 757 per day: 93% air carrier, 6% general aviation and less than 1% military operations. In 2009, there were 75 aircraft based at the airport: 45 single engine, 19 multi-engine, and 11 jets.[1]
As of January 2014, Southwest Airlines, including its subsidiary AirTran Airways, represents approximately 71% of passengers followed by Delta Air Lines at 8%.
BWI is currently the busiest airport within the Baltimore–Washington area[48] with 11,067,317 boardings in 2011. This is ahead of Dulles International Airport at 11,043,829 enplanements and in front of Ronald Reagan National Airport with 9,053,004 enplanements. BWI serves the most domestic passengers in the Baltimore–Washington area while Dulles serves more international passengers.

Ground transportation[edit]
BWI was ranked one of the "Top 10 Easiest U.S. Airports to Get to" by Aviation.com in 2007 and has a light rail station located in its main terminal.[53]
Shuttle services, taxis, and buses[edit]
Passenger van service to and from the Eastern Shore and Western Maryland is available through BayRunner Shuttle with services to and from BWI to Kent Island, Easton, Cambridge, Salisbury, Ocean Pines, and Ocean City (for the Eastern Shore) and Grantsville, Frostburg, Cumberland, Hancock, Hagerstown, and Frederick (for Western Maryland). There are also numerous private car, rental car, and cab services, as well as shuttles that go to and from BWI to local hotels; Baltimore and Washington and their suburbs; and Central and Western Maryland.
Bus service between BWI and the Greenbelt station of the Washington Metro and MARC Camden Line is provided by WMATA's Metrobus on Route B30 every 40 minutes from 6am-11pm on weekdays and 8:30am–10:30pm on weekends. The regular fare is $7.00 and the disabled/senior citizens rate is $3.50.
The Maryland Transit Administration's Bus Route 17 serves BWI 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. During the hours when the Light Rail operates, buses operate to the Patapsco Light Rail Stop. When the Light Rail is not in service, buses operate to Downtown Baltimore.
The Maryland Transit Administration's Bus Route 99 serves BWI during peak periods every half hour on weekdays 6:15am–7:45am & 2pm-5pm NB and 6am-9am & 3:20pm–4:50pm SB . Route 99 connects with the MTA Light Rail Station at BWI Business District and Baltimore Metro at Old Court Station, also serving U.M.B.C, CCBC Catonsville, Catonsville, Security Sq Mall, Woodlawn, Milford Mill and Randallstown. Route 99 also has express portions of the route on I-95 from BWI to U.M.B.C. and I-695 from Edmonson Ave & Ingleside Ave (NB from CCBC Catonsville) to Security Sq Mall.
MTA Commuter Bus route 201 connects BWI with Arundel Mills, Burtonsville, Norbeck, Shady Grove station, and Gaithersburg. Buses operate once an hour (4am-6pm eastbound, 5am-11pm westbound), seven days a week. Fare is $5.00.
Howard Transit's Silver route operates between BWI and The Mall in Columbia hourly at most times except overnight.
BWI is located at the southeast terminus of Interstate 195, a spur route providing connections to the Baltimore–Washington Parkway and Interstate 95.
BWI Rail Station is located about a mile from the airport terminal; a free shuttle bus connects the train station and airport terminals. The station is served by Amtrak Northeast Corridor trains, including the partially high-speed Acela Express, and the MARC Penn Line. Travel time by train is about twenty minutes to Baltimore's Penn Station and thirty-five minutes to Union Station in Washington, D.C. Trains depart at least once an hour seven days a week, with departure times during rush hours and business hours being significantly more frequent.[54]
The Maryland Transit Administration's Light Rail line has a stop just outside the entrance to the airport's International Terminal. Passengers can take the Light Rail to a variety of destinations in Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City, and Baltimore County, and can transfer to the Metro Subway in Baltimore, or to either of MARC's Baltimore terminals. A ride downtown takes approximately 30 minutes. Trains run every 20 minutes during peak hours, and 30 minutes all other times.[55]
In June 2007, the Maryland Department of Transportation, at the request of the Maryland General Assembly in 2006, commissioned a report on a proposal to extend the Washington Metro Green Line, from its current terminus at Greenbelt, through Howard County to BWI.[56]
