It’s easily one of the worst parts of international travel. You arrive back in the U.S. after a long flight, the Sunday scaries are creeping in, and you’re ready to be home.

But first, there’s the long trek to the international arrivals facility. Passport control. Baggage claim. Customs. Still have a connecting flight to your home airport? Add another 30 minutes (or more) to recheck your bag and go back through security.

I’m here with good news: It’s all getting more seamless, whether you pay for a program like Global Entry or not.

Here are three big changes you’ll see soon:
Global Entry members, get ready to skip the kiosk: Eight North American airports are rolling out new “on-the-move” technology that will take your picture as you’re walking. I tried it this spring in Miami, and my feet literally never stopped moving. Pro tip: Some of our favorite credit cards reimburse the $120 fee for Global Entry (which comes with TSA PreCheck access).

Don't have Global Entry? A handful of airports now have a speedy “game-changer” of a process that looks ... a lot like Global Entry. But it’s free. You basically walk up to an iPad, get your picture taken and you’re on your way.

Easier international connections: I’m really excited about this one. The U.S. and U.K. are teaming up to make it so you won’t have to recheck your bag or reclear security if you’re flying from London’s Heathrow Airport (LHR) and connecting at two U.S. hubs (Atlanta and Dallas-Fort Worth). There’s just one downside.

The Four Noble Truths are perhaps the most basic formulation of the Buddha’s teaching. They are expressed as follows:

All existence is suffering. The Buddha’s insight was that our lives are a struggle, and we do not find ultimate happiness or satisfaction in anything we experience. This is the problem of existence.

The cause of suffering is craving. The natural human tendency is to blame our difficulties on things outside ourselves. But the Buddha says that their actual root is to be found in the mind itself. In particular our tendency to grasp at things (or alternatively to push them away) places us fundamentally at odds with the way life really is.

The cessation of suffering comes with the cessation of craving. As we are the ultimate cause of our difficulties, we are also the solution. We cannot change the things that happen to us, but we can change our responses.

There is a path that leads from suffering. Although the Buddha throws responsibility back on to the individual he also taught methods through which we can change ourselves, for example the Noble Eightfold Path.

People can yell whatever shit they want at the players knowing that the players have to keep their cool.

But if a player taunts the fans, it's okay for the fans to escalate and start assaulting the player?

Strongly disagree.

Kapanen should have stormed the bleachers like Ron Artest and started cold-clocking people.
