Next Pakistani PM to be revealed over weekend (Reuters)

Reuters - Set to lead Pakistan's incoming coalition government, the party of assassinated former prime minister Benazir Bhutto will nominate its candidate for the premiership by Sunday, a spokesman said.

They won the last 6 games of the season and the media is all over themselves for the Miami Dolphins. Is this team really that great? Many analysts seem to think so. The Dolphins finished out the 2005 campaign by rattling off six straight wins against the Oakland Raiders, Buffalo Bills, San Diego Chargers, New York Jets, Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots. Could this be the year that Miami returns to glory? Is their schedule soft enough to yield an easy 10+ wins and take the NFC East?

The NFC East has been owned by the New England Patriots for a good while now. The Miami Dolphins want to change all that. Last season, thanks to their last season push, they finished with a 9-7 record. This year, they are hoping to take the next step and get into the AFC playoffs. Their key additions include: Daunte Culpepper, Andre Goodman, Sedrick Hodge, Will Allen, Fred Beasley, Kelly Campbell, Justin Peelle, L.J. Shelton, Renaldo Hill, Deke Cooper and Mike Pearson.

Their offseason losses were somewhat mild. This offseason they lost Sage Rosenfels to Houston, Sam Madison to the Giants, Bryan Gilmore to the 49ers, Reggie Howard to Carolina, Matt Turk to the Rams, Gus Frerotte to the Rams, Kiwaukee Thomas to Buffalo and Tebucky Jones to rival New England. Their schedule could be a little challenging this season. Heres the breakdown.

Week One: @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Week Two: Buffalo Bills
Week Three: Tennessee Titans
Week Four: @ Houston Texans
Week Five: @ New England Patriots
Week Six: @ New York Jets
Week Seven: Green Bay Packers
Week Eight: Bye
Week Nine: @ Chicago Bears
Week Ten: Kansas City Chiefs
Week Eleven: Minnesota Vikings
Week Twelve: @ Detroit Lions
Week Thirteen: Jacksonville Jaguars
Week Fourteen: New England Patriots
Week Fifteen: @ Buffalo Bills
Week Sixteen: New York Jets
Week Seventeen: @ Indianapolis

The Dolphins season opens up pretty soft. The first big challenge will be the Steelers, but they will be without their starting QB Big Ben. Presumably, their next tough game doesn't come until week five against the Patriots. However, the Bills might pose a challenge. They always play the Dolphins tough, so you can't write them off just yet. It will be tough for this team to put together win streaks of more than a couple games. Their schedule is mixed up well. They could be in trouble if they are one game out going into the last game at Indy, unless the Colts

Luggage Airport Protocol

Different airlines and airports have different standards for how they process luggage. Although many new rules have been put into effect due to recent world events, some things remain the same. All luggage, regardless of its owner, size, shape or seeming safety is subject to search. This rule is more of a deterrent than anything else. If luggage is more likely to be searched without cause, it is less likely that possibly offensive or dangerous items might be placed in the luggage for travel. Furthermore, airlines usually have a policy that they can refuse luggage, without warning, for a variety of reasons including but not limited to size, weight, character or condition.

The condition can be particularly important. Well made luggage that looks sturdy will have a better chance of making it through a flight than luggage in a questionable condition. They will also refuse luggage if the inclusion of the luggage would harm or inconvenience other paying customers aboard the flight. There is usually a luggage cut-off time. This is the time at which luggage is no longer allowed onto the aircraft or into checking. This is because the luggage must be loaded within a certain period of time prior to the aircraft taking off. This cut-off time is usually 40 to 60 minutes prior to departure. International flights are usually on the higher end of the spectrum, time-wise.

If a customer is unable to check the luggage within the amount of time allotted they run the risk of having their luggage and sometimes they placed on another flight out. If this causes additional expense to the passenger, the airline will rarely deem themselves responsible for this additional expense and the expense will fall to the customer. Checked luggage is fitted with luggage tags. These tags are meant to identify the luggage in order to get it onto the correct flight and to insure, should the luggage be lost, that it can be returned to the correct passenger. The passenger should remove this tag after the trip as future trips may be confusing if the luggage in question has multiple tags. After the luggage is tagged and checked in it is placed on a conveyer belt and sent towards the loading area where it will be put into the belly of the place. If all goes well, the luggage will arrive in the same destination as the passenger when the passenger can go to baggage claim, pick it up and begin his or her trip.
