Abstract
This paper reports on Florida blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus Rathbun), a major sea product and also an annual sporting catch. The paper reveals that while the name identifies this as a Florida product and a restaurant staple, but the animal is found as far north as Cape Cod. The paper provides an examination of research on the crab that shows the nature of the animal, gender differences, means of reproduction, methods for catching the crab, methods of preparation, and its economic importance.

Abstract
The paper explains that the Florida blue crab is a major sea product and an annual sporting catch. The paper describes the nature of the animal, gender differences, means of reproduction, methods for catching the crab, methods of preparation and its economic importance.

From the Paper
"The Florida Blue Crab is identified by the color of the claws, and male and female can be told apart by the color as well. Male crabs have blue claws all the way along their length, while female crabs have red tips. The crab is classified as Callinectes sapidus Rathbun and comes as both a hard-shell and a soft-shell crab. This is a very important seafood product, the most important after the lobster. The color is a variation of green shakes, with the legs being the bright blue that gives the crab its name. The species is found from Cape Cod south to Florida and around the Gulf of Mexico to the Mississippi."

Abstract
This case study produces a strategic analysis of Virgin Blue Airlines, which is a subsidiary of the Virgin Blue Group in Australia. The paper discusses how Virgin Blue Airlines operates a fleet of 53 Boeing aircraft and maintains more than 2200 flights weekly in the Australian market. The paper also relates that in November of 2007, the airline is planning on adding routes to New Zealand as well. The paper reaches the consensus that the company is innovative and willing to embrace change as evidenced by its unique integration of kiosk check-in stations in its airports as well as web-based customer check-in functionality available at the consumers' homes. The paper further asserts that the company is an outperformer and recommends a strategy that Virgin Blue should expand its Web-based functionality to include customer web-pages hosted by the company that integrate its current frequent-flier programs, Web check-in functions, and related technologies that are integrated solutions in its customer relationship management platform.

Abstract
This paper examines the film, "Blue Velvet," directed by David Lynch. Specifically, it discusses mise-en-scene and cinematography in the film. It looks at how David Lynch is a master of the film noir, dark and brooding types of films that disturb, disquiet, and titillate, all at the same time, and how "Blue Velvet" is no exception. It discusses how the film is part blue porn flick, part girl-next-door love story, and part sadistic kidnapping, and how the elements all blend together to form a cohesive whole because of Lynch's masterful use of mise-en-scene staging and cinematography. "Blue Velvet," even with its happy ending, leaves the viewer wanting more, somehow and that, too, seems to be just what Lynch intended.

From the Paper
"Mise-en-scene is a French term describing the "director's text" or staging of a film, and in "Blue Velvet," David Lynch's intricate and often surreal staging is an integral part of the film. He arranges space and time in the film with such dark and dreamlike qualities that the film can be nothing more than memorable and yet quite disturbing at the same time a true mark of Lynch's film and a tribute to his mise-en-scene. The most compelling visual motif in the film is of course the color blue. Lynch stages action around the color to keep it always in the memory of the viewers. The film opens with a sensuous scene of blue velvet fabric undulating on the screen, the theme continues from the background music to the clearly blue cigarette smoke issuing from the cigarettes of the characters, and in fact, Dorothy, the nightclub singer and sado-masochist, is known as "The Blue Lady" in her act."

Abstract
This paper presents an environmental overview of Florida's Everglades, describing its importance to the ecosystem of the region. First, the paper focuses on the Everglades being a water-based resource, highlighting the impact of its water on agriculture, animal and plant life in the area. Then the paper shows how the Everglades have impacted the crops used by farmers in South Florida and how today that is shifting. Additionally, the paper looks at how other industries benefit from the Everglades water, as does the general population of the area. The paper concludes by emphasizing the value of the Everglades for basic water needs, tourism and the fishing industry in Florida Bay.

From the Paper
"As a river, the Florida Everglades is a water-based resource. The existence of the Everglades is solely based on the river. In past, human intervention has resulted in sections of the Everglades drying, which led to rapid soil decomposition. Thus, the value of Everglades land was essentially nil. Therefore water is not only the primary resource in the Everglades, it is the one resource without which the Everglades would not exist. There have been times when other resources were harvested from the Everglades, namely bird plumes and alligators skins, but this type of hunting activity was unsustainable and has long since been curtailed."

Abstract
This paper discusses the long and ugly history of land booms and speculation in Florida, touching on the famous land boom of the mid-1920s and then looking at the modern situation, in which somehow Florida and land fraud are intertwined to a remarkable degree. The paper shows how there seems to be something inherent in Florida that it is forever involved in real estate bubbles and real estate scams.

From the Paper
"The semi-tropical, semi-submerged State of Florida has ever been an inspirer of fantastic dreams. Ponce de Lean believed that he would find there the Fountain of Youth. Others who came after him believed that there the rainbow ends, and that merely to stake off a part of its soil would give them access to the fabulous pot of gold. Youth, health, wealth, and freedom from inheritance taxes have been the lures to the sunshine and everglades of this Riviera of America. (Sakolski, 331) Is it the climate? Is it the tropical breeze? Is it merely the legendary allure of Florida? There is something about Florida that seems to attract..."

Abstract
Florida today is a major tourist destination, drawing people for the beaches, the waters of the Gulf Coast, attractions like Disney World, and even for ecotourism visits to the swamplands in some areas. The state was not always such an attraction, and a key figure in making it so was Northern investor Henry Flagler, associated with the Rockefellers and a central name in the Florida land boom of the 1920s even though he had been dead for a decade when it was in full flower.

Abstract
This paper examines legislation passed by the Bush administration, which ended a 25 year ban on drilling 125 miles south of Florida's panhandle. The paper describes the position of the opposing parties to this legislation, including that of Senator Bill Nelson. The paper also describes the ecological impact of offshore drilling, as well as the subsequent effect on Florida's tourist based economy.

From the Paper
"A report from the Natural Resources Defense Council also found troubling statistics regarding the dangers of drilling. The water pollution issue was of special note to the group. They found that on average the drilling operations generate an average of 180,000 gallons of waste materials and muds per well. This material is almost always dumped directly into surrounding waters. Mercury, lead and arsenic are typically found in these tainted waters after the materials are released. These poisons can pollute water for miles, and certainly endanger the living creatures in the area (NRDC)."

From the Paper
"Photometric quantities such as luminance (brightness in cd/cm2 as perceived by a human "standard observer") and illuminance in lux (the "light" falling on a surface) indicate light levels spectrally weighted by the standard photometric visibility curve which peaks at 550 nm for the human eye. To quantify a photochemical effect it is not sufficient to specify the number of photons-per-square-centimeter (photon flux) or the irradiance (W/cm2) since the efficiency of the effect will be highly dependent on wavelength."
