Yes, the Yangzi is a very big - and wide - river. If you take a look at the list of warship yards in the Chinese Shipbuilding Industry thread post # 139, you will see that Wuhu, Wuzhou and Liuzhou are all situated up-river. Wuhu could easily build Type 056, and so could no doubt Wuzhou, which recently built the trimaran diver support ship Bei Jiu 143.

Good idea of using the lock limits as a guide. But we need to remember just how deep inland the Three Geoges Damn is. The further up river, the shallower and narrower the river, so if the river at the Three Gorges Damn can take 10,000k ships, the stretches of the river near the coast should be able to take far heavier ships.
Are you guys trying to see which shipyards might be able to construct the rumoured new 10,000k cruiser class? If so I think that shipyard infrastructure and the experience and skill of the workers would be the main limiting factors as opposed to the location of the yards.
Opps! Wrong thread.

You're talking about a total war scenario with the US. Anything less than a total war will not see the US having the gall to attack civilian targets, even if they are dual use. And no other country could devastate China's infrastructure on that level. The chance of that kind of war happening, however, is close to zero. So why increase the costs of construction and transportation building from an inland port on that one in a million chance? Besides, I'm sure they already have contingency plans in place for every scenario, even this one, i.e. locations/depths already scoped out, what manpower/materials will need to be accumulated at a new site quickly, how to set up efficient transportation to that site, what kind of air defense planning needs to happen, etc.
Looks like the new ships are still using the current pennant number font scheme, that means the new style is still far from being approved.

Boxcar Grill the little diner that could reopened Friday in a new home on Sixth Avenue in Tacoma.
Daughter-mother team Liz and Velda Gilham opened their diner last July in an anchor position in the Freighthouse Square mall, a collection of restaurants and retail shops near the Tacoma Dome. From the beginning, facility problems and construction caused openings and closures that lasted for months. Frustrated, Liz and Velda went shopping for a new home and landed at the former space of Happy Dragon, a popular Chinese restaurant that closed earlier this year at Sixth and Orchard. The Gilhams closed Boxcar Grill July 16 to prepare for the move.

Convention Center, Exhibit Hall BC, Second Floor
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is considered a cellulosic feedstock suitable for biofuel production because of its drought tolerance, noninvasiveness, potential for soil carbon sequestration, and high biomass yield with low input. Information is needed on seasonal trends in biomass accumulation and nutrient removal to support decision-making on timing of harvest to maximize efficiency of fertilizer nutrient use. Our aim was to characterize seasonal trends in biomass yield, moisture content, leaf-area index, light interception, gross energy density, concentrations and removal rates of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and concentrations of other minerals and total ash. Plots were established in 2008 in Fayetteville , AR with cv. Alamo in six replications. Sequentially different plots were sampled approx. monthly in 2009, and data were fitted to regressions describing the trends. Results will be reported for the first year of this 2-yr trial.

Herbert Street Closure
Description: Herbert Street Closure
Road Closures:
**UPDATE 4/20/2012: This closure will again be put into place on Tuesday April 24 from 8:30 am to 10:30 am, and all day Wednesday April 25.**
**UPDATE 4/12/2012: This closure will also be put into place on Monday April 16 and Tuesday April 17 from 8:30am to 10:30 am.**
Beginning Wednesday April 11, 2012 at 8:15 am, the portion of Herbert Street between the entrance to the North parking lot at Herbert Hall and the Southeast corner of the Computer Lab will be closed for construction related to improvements to the Central Plant. This closure is scheduled to remain in place through Friday April 13, 2102. It is not anticipated that this closure will remain in place at all times. When circumstances allow, the road will be opened to traffic. However, for planning purposes it would be best to assume that this area will be closed. Please plan commuting routes accordingly. The exact area of the closure is shown in the image below (shown in red).
Parking will not be affected by this closure. Vehicles on the North side of the closure will be able to exit out to East Lee Boulevard, and vehicles on the South side of the closure will be able to exit out to Morrill Road.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to complete this project. If you have any questions regarding the project, please contact Facilities Management at 662-325-5830.

Sure, $10-$15k may be "the cheapest part of running a datacenter", but for someone starting a new business, bootstrapping themselves up, A $10-$15k up front expense can be pretty prohibitive. Let's say you buy a pair of $4000 servers, (Web and DB) and drop them in a colo charging somewhere around $700-$1000 a month. With open source software, you can be up and working on about 10 grand initial investment, plus $1000 a month. After the first year, you're at $22k. Now, Let's look at microsoft licensing: SQL Server Web is ~$4.5k per processor, plus $1k for the OS so my dual core DB machine is $10k up front. The web server is cheaper, ~$500 up front for the OS, and that includes IIS. Then add in two Developers with MSDN Professional, Microsoft list price of $1,200 each ($800 might be possible with "volume licensing", but probably not for 2 developers) and you're looking at a total of $13k.
So: to sum up, Open source/free tools: $10k first month, $21k for a year. $33k for a second year, and $45k for a third year. Microsoft toolstack: $23k for the first month, $34k for the year, $46k for the second year, $58k for the third. So, basically, buying Microsoft for a small shop ends up costing you about 1 year of your hosting budget.
And sure, forums with the MS Professionals are useful, but as a secondary form of documentation. When I'm the only person at my shop, and I'm trying to solve a problem, if I have to pause my dev process for 2 days to wait for a response, that's cutting 1% off of my profit margin.

Ok, to be fair, C# is actually a pretty damn good language. I would rank it up there with Python and Ruby in terms of flexibility and modern features. It's actually a way better language than Java, because it hasn't been hindered by the 10 years of analysis paralysis that Java has.

Seriously? Mod_mono_module? Have you even tried using that on an existing ASP.NET app? About 1/3 of the important features are broken.
ASP.Net/C#/MSSQL/Windows/Visual Studio is great as long as you're willing to dump $10-15 grand for the whole stack of software. If you do, a ton of stuff "just works", and you can be incredibly productive. However, take one step outside of that stack, and you're back to writing just as much code as a PHP developer would, and you're due for some major headaches. Swap out your MSSQL server for MySQL or Oracle? Entity framework breaks, and Linq isn't very functional either. You're back to writing ADO.NET. Want to drop the $1500 Visual Studio? Sure you can edit with Notepad and Nant or MSBuild files, but welcome to a world of hurt, not to mention there's barely any documentation or support on blogs, books, or IRC channels. Try running on Mod_mono? Hope you didn't build anything that uses WebForms, or WCF, because if you did, you're going to be rewriting them. Prefer Python over C#? Sure, there's IronPython, but there's basically 0 documentation, and you're on your own.

However, it's purely single threaded, so it's easy to write code that will lock up your webserver and run away with the code, especially if you're not used to working in event/callback ways. As a single-threaded app, it can't take advantage of multicore or multiprocessor servers very well. Further, I believe it's still pre-1.0 release. Like Ruby, expect to pay a lot for hiring additional developers
7) Java Play - A lot of the same ups as Railo, Mostly the same downs. It'll be easier to find Java Developers than Railo developers, but learning Java as a PHP dev is a little higher of a cliff than learning CFML (Railo's Language)

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an extensive medical system that includes the following major forms: acupuncture, moxibustion, Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese manipulative therapy (Tuina) Chinese diet therapy (Shi-Liao) Chinese energy control therapy (Qigong), and Chinese rehabilitation exercises (Taiji).
2. What are the fundamental differences between Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine?
With its origin in ancient Taoist philosophy, traditional Chinese medicine views a person as an energy system in which body and mind are unified. Western medicine, however, does not share this holistic view as it isolates and separates a disease from a person. Chinese medicine views the body as a small universe, while Western medicine views it as a planet in isolation.
Diagnosis of illness is also approached differently. In addition to finding information about the history of the illness, traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis looks at different parts of the body such to gain valuable information about internal organs and their energies. For example, the tongue is often carefully examined to give detailed patient diagnosis.
Upon diagnosis, a TCM doctor will prescribe a treatment to restore the balance of energy channels in the body. Treatments such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, food cures, massage and/or exercises will be used. The TCM doctor will treat the entire person, including both the physical and the mental aspect.
3. Why should I study Traditional Chinese Medicine at PCU College?
The TCM curriculum at PCU College is designed to help students become highly-skilled practitioners of holistic medicine and meet the standards of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists (CTCMA) in British Columbia and the National Certification Commission of Acupuncturists and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) in the United States.

A four-year TCM Practitioner program in China can be completed in three years at PCU College, while the Doctor of TCM program can be completed in four years instead of five.
The PCU College TCM graduates maintain a consistently high licensing rate on the CTCMA licensing exams.
4. What is the learning experience like at PCU College?
All programs combine lecture and seminar based classroom learning with applied, practical experience. Each program has either a practicum placement or a series of supervised internships that allow students to apply their knowledge and skills in a clinical environment. In addition, PCU College's Holistic Healing Center is a fully-functioning clinic that specializes in natural health and healing treatments. The center also serves as an ideal place for PCU students to complete their clinical internships under the guidance and supervision of the clinic's licensed practitioners.
5. Is PCU College accredited?

PCU College is also designated as an eligible institution under the Canada Student Loans Act and is a member of the British Columbia Student Assistance Program (BCSAP).
In addition, PCU College TCM program standards follow the regulations established by educational by-laws of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists (CTCMA) of BC. The programs prepare graduates for the qualifying and licensing examinations required to practice acupuncture and TCM.
6. Am I eligible for student assistance or any financial aid?
You may be eligible for financial assistance. PCU College of Holistic Medicine is designated as an eligible institution under the Canada Student Loans Act and is a member of the British Columbia Student Assistance Program (BCSAP).

Sridhar Silberfein: Yoga's Answer to Woodstock - Bhaktifest
VividLife Radio's Ed and Deb Shapiro welcome pioneering businessman Sridhar Silberfein, to discuss Yoga's Answer to Woodstock Festival: Bhaktifest
Sridhar Steven Silberfein has been on a spiritual quest for over thirty years, while being a pioneering businessman. He founded Desert Essence, the skin care company, and co-founded the Triloka recording label that launched artists such as Krishna Das and Jai Uttal. His health food store, The Food Chakra, had a yoga studio upstairs. This led to The Center for Spiritual Studies (CSS), where Sridhar hosted many eminent teachers, such as Swami Muktananda, Kalu Rimpoche and Ammachi, the "Hugging Saint". He published the first book on Swami Muktananda called Baba in America. He also produced the docudrama River of Love on the life of Ammachi. In 1969, Sridhar brought Swami Satchidananda to Woodstock, when he committed himself to producing the spiritual equivalent of Woodstock, which is now: Bhakti Fest, Shakti Fest, and Bhakti Fest Midwest. When asked about the moments where he feels his best, he has been known to comment, "When I get a chance to clean the pots in the kitchen."

Who Do You SERVE Traditions Of Man Or God & His Holyways
While The World Grows Darker & Darker Due To Many Walking Away From The Ways Of God While Grabing Ahold To The Traditions Of Man & The Ways Of The World,Many We See Wickedness As It Spreads Abroad Over The Face Of The Earth Just As We did In The Days Of Noah. Genesis 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Genesis 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. Even As Jesus Walked The Earth Many Chose To Follow Tradiions Of Men Rather Than To Live According To God & His Holy Ways. Mark 7:1 Then came together to him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem. And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with un washen, hands, they found fault. Mark 7:3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. And when they comefrom the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? As They Walk After The Traditions Of Man & VAIN iMAGINATIONS OF Their Own Heart They Are Entangleed In Yokes Of Bondage Religion Brings In Bondaage as Well Due To Doctrines Of Man.2 Timothy 3

The American dream is a dream like no other. Jobs line streets of gold, vacuum cleaners and TVs sit in every house, and families gathered each night to eat hot meals made lovingly by Mom. Everything seemed perfect; an idea of Middle America that has inspired generations. But underneath every love story sits a horror so dark and disturbing that Norman Rockwell himself would spin in his grave if he ever got wind of it—a horror of family secrets and broken dreams, where things beyond the human redemption can happen even in the quietest of suburbia. This is the premise for THE MILKMAN MURDERS, a comic so thoroughly fucked up and heart-wrenching, that if you finish reading it unscathed, you probably don't have a heart. In fact, feel free to feel bad about yourself right now.
In a "cookie-cutter," suburban neighborhood, we find our heroine, Barbara Vale methodically preparing dinner for her loving family. As they enter the home, we are treated to a typical family scene of mother, father, and two beautiful children gathered around the dinner table. Except here, the father begins slapping mother around, and the children are loud-mouthed brats who couldn't give a shit about mom's dinner. This is where the story of our perfect family slowly begins to break down and a whole bag of insanity lets loose.
Barbara slowly begins to unveil the truth behind her family: her son is a psychopathic animal killer, her daughter is sleeping with half the staff at her school, and her husband is addicted to drugs and beats Barbara so badly that she frequently needs stitches. Despite all this, Barbara still holds out hope that her family can work it out, until one day a milkman breaks into her house and rapes her, finally pushing her over the edge. This is the turning point, a push to a no-man's land that Barbara never digs herself out of, and sets off a chain of events that changes her life forever.
THE MILKMAN MURDERS stays with you. So unbelievably brutal and unapologetic, the story makes you question the people and families around you and wonder what sort of demons they may be hiding. The author, Joe Casey, does a brilliant job with conveying that sense of disappointment and terror that Barbara feels with her brood, even almost making you feel sorry for them when she finally snaps. The art by Steve Parkhouse reflects the more innocent styling of the Sunday newspaper funnies, which really help add to the surreal sense of the entire work. Though THE MILKMAN MURDERS was originally published in 2004 by Dark Horse Comics, it is Image Comics that is finally releasing a hard-covered graphic novel that collects the four issue miniseries.

this place smells gorgeous!
Replies: 35 - Last Post: Nov 1, 2012 10:11 AM Last Post By: sashac001
jump to
this place smells gorgeous!
do you remember any on your travels?i like how certain places have their own delicious smells. am post processing photos taken last week in Brussels and the smell of sugar waffles is still vivid in my mind. i have a polar bear's sense of smell :)
Brussels and Antwerpen: sugar waffles and frites! (already as soon as you get off the train)
Paris: fresh baguettes!
Chengdu, China: spicy Sichuan food everywhere you turn. simply amazing!
Lhasa, Tibet: yak. i had the smell of yak/butter on my jacket the entire 5 week trip (12 days spent in Tibet)!
Buenos Aires: relentless grilled beef smell! especially at meal times, and any time along the river where endless parilla trailers park.
Thailand: fried garlic. makes me hungry all the time!
Germany: baked goods and wurst. (beer if a brew pub is nearby)
Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong: all three smell delicious anywhere!
that's all i can remember for now... where did i smell cheese, coffee, seafood etc?
Nice thread.Rome- early morning: coffee roasting; coffee brewing, warm pastries.
Evening: pizza baking in wood ovens, lasagna, pasta boiling
2:00 am-- the bakery in the basement, not far from Fontana di Trevi.
Jamaica Port Antonio:
Sunday: roasting bread fruit, the saltfish for ackees-and-saltfish
Weekday: porridge; rice and peas cooking for lunch.
Anytime: Scotch-bonnets cooking and jerk chicken/barrel chicken grilling
Corfu, Agagalini, 1971: lamb kebobs grilling.
Innsbruck 1968- the breakfast room of the pensione: brewed coffee, croissants, apricot jams
Barcelona '68: fried seafood,( small shops sold nothing but.) paella, (the scent of the rice, saffron and seafood, mainly); the fried, extruded pastries whose name ran from my brain.
Our small county fair in Mich.: Cotton candy, home-made pies, burgers frying, candy apples-- the hard red-candy kind, all mixed with the smell of dust and manure-- delicious!
Germany - sausages grilling over pine cones, fresh baked bread, the wine shops the bakeries (pastries along with bread).Morocco - Marrakesh - the grills brought out to the main square, especially the kabobs, and the street vendors in almost every other town.
Egypt - there was one shop in Aswan (I think) that made a beautiful lamb/pita sandwich. Otherwise the falafels smelled good everywhere you went although one did get a bit tired of them after awhile.
-the smell of garlic wafting from that posh little Italian restaurant in Beauchamp Place...San Lorenzo if I remember correctly...-the smell of bread with carraway seeds, takes me back to my childhood and 'Polish' shops in London; funnily enough now I live in Poland it is very difficult to find such bread..
-the frites they served in that campsite we used to stay in near Gourdon in France, which my mother would never allow us to buy..
-chicken tandoori.. anywhere...
my mouth waters as i read what you've written! :)*****Battybilly, believe it or not i have never eaten your favourite pie.
Scribblerkeith, i've had something similar here but simply in the shape of balls. some countries have their versions in ball shape. sure smells good in any case.
Weaver, as mentioned by BJD, was it churros? i've had it a few times but usually they somehow got the dough or the frying wrong. the inside was much too soft, like raw dough. however, the best churros was eaten in Buenos Aires of all places.
i notice the years you included in your reply... my god, i wasn't even born yet then :) have you been back since and have things changed in terms of food?
sashac001, the kebabs and lamb pita smell divine indeed. i am imagining the smell of Istanbul, which is on my travel 'list'. Germany is close to my heart, and geographically as well. :)
i remember the smell of grilled sardines in coastal towns in Portugal. don't know why but grilled sardines taste better in Portugal than elsewhere. (maybe i'm bias...)
which towns have the smell of chocolate or cheese? Switzerland?
:@)) :@)) (= oink oink)
piaczka, i experienced caraway seeds in Czech Rep.. maybe you could try baking your own bread with caraway seeds? is it savoury or plain sourdough rye? both sounds delicious in my mind!the best frites i have eaten have been at little traditional family run 'fry shops' in small Belgian towns. i've always wanted to know what kind of fat they use and did finally ask recently. the place smells like an Argentinian steak house because they use beef fat. i asked the owner straight up if it was horse fat. (eating horse meat is quite normal in Belgium, also as a stew which is poured on top of the frites.)
We used to have "Fish Central" where I lived in a port town in Poland. They were famous for their smell among us kids, in times when only fresh fish was on the market. Fish wasn't in great esteem then, a sort of poor man's food, and cost less than half of meat price. Today, when it comes to fresh fish, I think differently.More pleasant memories - as a kid I was sent everyday by my mom to local bakery to buy bread. It was hot from the oven at 5 pm.
i ordered hot chocolate with the churros. unfortunately, my sugar threshold is so low i could take no more than 2 tiny sips. cafe con leche would have been better even though i only drink thick strong espresso.14
The Pepsi was cheaper, had caffine and the "fizz" added to the volume in the belly, Fieldgate. As I said, I was young....But now that you mention it-- the smell of a small bar/restaurant high above Madrid, in Basque country. Tapas and my first experience of the thick, rich hot chocolate that was more like a thin pudding. I loved it!

Stocks Tumble In Wake of European Debt Crisis
By: WROC-TV
Updated: July 23, 2012
The market went down almost 240 points in early trading. Investors are worried Spain is moving closer to asking for a full-fledged bailout. Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund says it will no longer give aid to Greece. That means the country could default on its debt in September.

Cheap Canvas Prints FAQ
Here's a list of the most common questions. Please select a topic:
Do you price match?
We can easily price match any competitor in Australia - even if it's a sale price.
Just send us a link of a competitor that shows a current offer of canvas + delivery with a price less than our canvas + delivery price and once we've confirmed the price, we'll beat it.
Please note that if the competitors price is time-sensitive (eg; it ends in a few hours), you're best to call us. We will respond to all price match requests as quickly as possible but obviously can't always respond before a competitors sale price expires.
Any services such as turnaround time, extra services or benefits offered by the competitor are not considered in the price match.
There is one exception - a very low cost canvas printer who we discovered not to deliver the product requested, not offer any contact number, and not offer a refund on the incorrect product.

When Lance Armstrong's interview with Oprah Winfrey about his suspected use of illegal performance-enhancing drugs is broadcast on Thursday, an investment banker will most likely be watching it very carefully (and nervously): Thomas Weisel.
Mr. Weisel is a legend in finance and Silicon Valley. He was the banker behind Yahoo's public offering and some of the biggest deals during the dot-com bubble. He famously sold the firm he ran, Montgomery Securities, for $1.2 billion in 1997. And he sold his next firm, Thomas Weisel Partners, for $300 million to Stifel Financial in 2010.
But it is Mr. Weisel's extracurricular activity that connects him to the news of the moment: he was Mr. Armstrong's biggest financial backer and the single individual most responsible for the money machine that propelled Mr. Armstrong's career.
Depending on what Mr. Armstrong says in the interview about his purported doping, Mr. Weisel, who was a co-owner of the United States Postal Service Pro Cycling Team through a cycling management firm that he helped found called Tailwind Sports, could be subject along with his partners to lawsuits from corporate sponsors seeking millions of dollars. Already, there is a False Claims Act case contending that Mr. Armstrong and the team defrauded the Postal Service.
Perhaps more anxiety-producing is what Mr. Weisel may have known, or should have known, about a team that for years ran "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen," according to the United States Anti-Doping Agency.
Its report last year did not name Mr. Weisel, but did say that Mr. Armstrong was assisted by a "small army of enablers, including doping doctors, drug smugglers, and others within and outside the sport and on his team."
Mr. Armstrong is expected to admit to doping in an effort to persuade officials to lift his lifetime ban from Olympic sports. To do so, however, he would probably need to lay out in explicit detail how the program worked and implicate those who were part of it. Late Monday, The New York Times reported that Mr. Armstrong had confessed in the interview with Ms. Winfrey that he used performance-enhancing drugs. The Times also reported that he was in discussions with the Justice Department to possibly testify in a federal whistle-blower case against several team officials and owners, including Mr. Weisel.
Mr. Weisel is currently not talking. When I called Mr. Weisel seeking a comment, his assistant told me: "He's not commenting. And he's not returning any calls."
For a glimpse of the way Mr. Weisel thinks about performance-enhancing drugs in cycling, here's what he had to say about the matter four years ago: "Handle the problem below the surface and keep the image of the sport clean," he told The Wall Street Journal. "In the U.S. sports — baseball, basketball, football — most fans couldn't care less."
For Mr. Weisel, the team and Mr. Armstrong were an all-consuming passion. He would go every year to the Tour de France and at times travel in the team's pacer car, occasionally yelling instructions to Mr. Armstrong over the radio system. He rode the team's bus, ate meals with them and ultimately celebrated each year's victory. On the wall of his office in San Francisco, he displayed Mr. Armstrong's yellow jerseys.
Always the consummate banker, Mr. Weisel even tried to help Mr. Armstrong raise funds to buy the Tour de France itself. (The effort never went anywhere.)
Mr. Weisel's name has occasionally come up in connection with accusations of doping on the team.
The wife of the famed cyclist Greg LeMond, Kathy, reportedly testified under oath in a deposition in 2006 that she had been told by one of Mr. Armstrong's mechanics that Mr. Weisel, along with Nike, paid $500,000 though a Swiss bank account to the honorary president of the International Cycling Union to silence a drug test Mr. Armstrong purportedly failed in 1999.
Nike has vehemently denied the contention. So far, Mr. Weisel has not commented publicly.
When Floyd Landis, one of Mr. Armstrong's former teammates, tested positive in 2006, he denied using performance-enhancing drugs under pressure from Mr. Armstrong. Soon after, Mr. Weisel set up the Floyd Fairness Fund with some of Tailwind's co-owners to help pay his legal bills. Mr. Landis later confessed to doping in 2010.
Mr. Weisel, a longtime athlete who was a champion speed skater as a teenager, became a cycling enthusiast in the 1980s and took up racing himself. Sports dominated his life: he often said that he liked to hire athletes to work for him at the bank because of their competitive instincts. He was also the chairman of the United States Ski Team Foundation. In 1987, while still working as a banker, he started Montgomery Sports, to begin his first cycling team. In the early 1990s the team was called Subaru-Montgomery; it later became Montgomery-Bell (Bell Sports was a client that he took public) and then was renamed for the Postal Service. (Yahoo, another client, was also a sponsor of the team.)
According to a biography of Mr. Weisel, "Capital Instincts: Life as an Entrepreneur, Financier and Athlete," he invested more than $5 million in the early teams and lost money on the investment. Mr. Armstrong was one of Mr. Weisel's early riders for the Subaru-Montgomery team. He later left the team to join the Motorola team. After his bout with cancer, Mr. Armstrong joined what was the Postal Service team in 1998.
Tyler Hamilton, another former teammate of Mr. Armstrong, told "60 Minutes" that the team was pushing performance-enhancing drugs on its cyclists long before Mr. Armstrong battled cancer and then in 1998 rejoined the team.
"I remember seeing some of the stronger guys in the team getting handed these white lunch bags," Mr. Hamilton said on "60 Minutes" about when he joined the team in 1995. "So finally I, you know, started puttin' two and two together and you know, basically there were doping products in those white lunch bags."
Given how widespread the doping now appears to have been on the Postal Service team based on testimony of 11 teammates, and charges against the team's director and several of its doctors, you wonder how much due diligence its founding banker did on the most prominent deal of his career.

Magazine Journalism re-accredited by the PTC
Monday, June 28, 2010
Current Magazine students overwhelmingly endorsed the course at Cardiff
The Magazine option of the Cardiff Diploma in Journalism has been re-accredited by the Periodicals Training Council (PTC) for another two years.
The PTC, the body responsible for the accreditation of the UK's postgraduate magazine journalism courses closely examined the programme's features including programme outcomes, assessment and evaluation, facilities and production, recruitment and guest speakers.
The highly complimentary report delivered by the accreditation panel noted the programme's "commitment to staying abreast of developments in the industry" and in doing so ensuring students were "equipped for the challenges facing them".
The report continued by commending the care and attentiveness shown to students by tutors and also teaching methods which upheld journalistic principles.
Work placements which take place over Easter each year were described as "superb" while the calibre of guest speaker was described as "excellent" with influential industry speakers such as Nick Brett, group editorial director at BBC Worldwide Magazines and Mark Payton, editorial director at Haymarket Consumer Media taking part.
Tim Holmes, the Magazine course Director welcomed the panel's comments. "The fact that we can genuinely claim to combine teaching the bedrock skills of journalism (finding, researching and authenticating original stories) with multiple means of telling those stories (print, online, video, audio, social media) puts us in a very good position.
"The training our students receive to 'platform' for the readership as well as write for the readership by understanding that different readerships engage differently with the various forms of digital publishing, was considered very important.
"I'm personally very pleased our students overwhelmingly endorsed the course at Cardiff. This not only reflects the efforts of everyone who makes a contribution to teaching and training but also to the professional environment we place the students into from the very moment they arrive".

American crocodile description
Kingdom | Animalia |
Phylum | Chordata |
Class | Reptilia |
Order | Crocodylia |
Family | Crocodylidae |
Genus | Crocodylus (1) |
A fairly large crocodile species, the American crocodile has a stocky body with a long, powerful tail. The short but muscular legs end in sharp claws (2) and the long triangular snout contains 14 to 15 sharp, conical teeth on each side. The large fourth tooth of the lower jaw fits into a pit in the upper jaw, but remains visible (5). The American crocodile is neatly adapted to life in the water. The ears, eyes and nostrils are located on the top of the head so that nearly the whole body can be submerged (5). A fold of skin can close the windpipe to enable the crocodile to open its mouth underwater and breathe through the nostrils (5). The eyes can be covered with a third eyelid to protect them underwater and the ears are covered with a flap of skin (2). The pupils are vertical slits to help with night vision (2) and there is a distinct swelling in front of each eye (3).
Very young American crocodiles are green with dark banding on the back and tail (2) (6). Juveniles are olive green and are no longer banded (6). Adults are dull grey, with a white to yellow belly (2). Compared with other crocodile species, the armour is less prominent. Rows of raised scales contain knobs of bone (5).

American crocodile biology
Reaching sexual maturity at 2.5 metres, the female American crocodile prepares a nest during the dry season, either in a hole or on a mound of mud or sand (3). After two months of surprisingly gentle courtship, during which the female must reduce the male's territorial aggression by making audible signals and by lifting her head to expose her throat, and nuzzling his head and neck (6), the female lays between 30 and 60 eggs. These are covered with sand and left to incubate under the heat of the sun for 90 days (3). The female guards the nest and assists during the hatching process, which coincides with the start of the annual rains. Both parents may guard the hatchlings (6) although they can fend for themselves immediately (2). Only a few survive due to predation particularly by raccoons (7).
The adults make dens, dug 3 to 9 metres into the river bank, near the nest site, but move inland during the winter, as they are unable to tolerate water temperatures of much below 18ºC (6). The American crocodile's diet consists mainly of fish, but birds, small mammals, crabs and turtles are also taken and eaten underwater (3). Crocodiles hunt by waiting motionless in the water until their prey is close enough, then attacking the prey and drowning it. They will even regurgitate small amounts of food to attract fish. During winter, the digestion rate is very slow, so they can go for months without food (2).
TopAmerican crocodile range
The American crocodile is found along the eastern coast of the Pacific Ocean from western Mexico south to Ecuador, and along the western coast of the Atlantic Ocean from Guatemala north to the southern tip of Florida (6). It is present in southern United States, Central America and northern South America (3).
TopAmerican crocodile habitat
The American crocodile can be found in both freshwater and saltwater habitats, but is most commonly found in tropical wetlands such as mangrove-lined saltwater estuaries and lagoons (6). It constructs long burrows to avoid adverse conditions (3).
TopAmerican crocodile status
The American crocodile is classified as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List (1), and is listed on Appendix I of CITES, except for in Cuba, where it is listed on Appendix II (4).
TopAmerican crocodile threats
Between the 1930s and the 1960s, the American crocodile was hunted for its skin, which was a popular material for bags and belts (3). The species was declared endangered in 1979 and is now legally farmed for its skins. Now, the major threat to wild populations is habitat loss as a result of increasing urban development. Illegal hunting and accidental encounters with fishing nets, cars and boats are still a threat (6).
TopAmerican crocodile conservation
Surveys and research into population statistics and behavioural ecology have proved extremely useful for recovery efforts in the United States, and are hoped to continue for more southerly populations. The American crocodile is fully protected in the majority of its range, but enforcement of this protection is inadequate, and legal hunters of caiman are known to illegally hunt American crocodiles as well. Management programmes have been set up in eight countries within the range, but they are commonly ignored. As well as reducing illegal hunting, crocodile farms can provide individuals for restocking the wild. For example, Venezuela contains much suitable crocodile habitat, but would benefit from restocking (3).
