The Stories Jews Tell
A multicultural 'Moth' at the New York Public Library
If you were an alien visiting the human race last week and wanted to get a general idea of the concerns of American monotheists in the year 2010, you could have done worse than attended OMG: Stories of the Sacred, a reading put on by the storytelling series The Moth and the New York Public Library. The event (which you can watch here) featured six performers from the three great monotheistic faiths telling personal stories: Tablet Magazine contributor Peter Hyman, Rev. Wayne Reece, Andrew Solomon, Imam Khalid Latif, Judy Gold, and the Rev. Al Sharpton.
Of course it would be a bit dangerous for alien researchers to make broad assumptions from hearing two stories per faith, but you might make some claims nonetheless. Imam Latif, a chaplain for NYU and the NYPD, and the New York Times's Andrew Solomon each told secular stories about Muslims dealing with the repercussions of 9/11. Latif spoke about the pressures and resistance to pass after the attacks; Solomon bore witness to the resurrection of art, poetry, and music in Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban—but concluded with a cautionary note about how fragile that moment of hope has become.
The two stories by the Revs. Reese and Sharpton displayed more confidence, and basically involved ministering to unlikely flocks: Rev. Reese and a motorcycle gang, Rev. Sharpton (who, by the way, looks really fit) and the man who stabbed him in 1991.
So what, then, of the Jews? Peter Hyman's story was a modified version of the story he first told in Tablet Magazine, about burying his son's foreskin. This time, he added a new angle—talking about his father's secular Judaism. "I was burying Nathaniel's foreskin precisely because my father hadn't done it with mine," he explained. "Maybe the kids who grow up with these sorts of traditions rebel against it all, while those of us whose parents never had time or never made the effort grow up desperate for it, clutching at hollow symbolism to make up for the loss of real acts."
Comedian Judy Gold told a completely different yet strikingly similar story about rebelling against her mother's very observant Judaism only to return to it after her father died and after she started a family. "What would I have done those last two weeks if I didn't have Judaism?" she asked. "How would I know how to mourn?"
So our alien friends would have learned that, in 2010, Jews are telling stories about rebelling against their parents while remaining concerned with their cultural continuity. So basically the same stories they've been telling for the last 6,000 years.

Comelec says Torres-Gomez candidacy stays
TACLOBAN CITY—The Supreme Court decision unseating Lucy Torres-Gomez as legislator does not affect her candidacy, according to the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
Veronico Petalcorin, Comelec assistant director for Eastern Visayas, said Gomez is qualified to run for the House seat representing Leyte's fourth district.
Voting 7-4-4, the Supreme Court ousted Gomez as representative of the fourth district of Leyte, saying she was not a valid substitute for her husband, Richard Gomez, who was disqualified from running for congressman for lacking residency.
Petalcorin said the work done by Gomez when she was representing the district is considered valid.
"She is, or she was, a de facto official at that time. She was clothed with legal authority, which means she is entitled to all the salaries, benefits and emoluments," he said.
Gomez is running in Leyte's fourth district covering the towns of Albuera, Kananga, Palompon, Isabel, Matag-ob, Merida and the city of Ormoc, which has a voting population of more than 248,000.
Richard, an actor, is running for mayor of Ormoc. Both belong to the ruling Liberal Party.
Gomez, in a press conference in Manila on Tuesday, said she would file a motion for reconsideration on the Supreme Court decision.
But her opponent, outgoing Ormoc Mayor Eric Codilla, said the high court decision was a boost for his candidacy.
"I will not deny that it could be a plus point for me," said Codilla in a phone interview.

Jake Kheel of Puntacana Resort on Being a Luxury Ecotourism Trailblazer
Punta Cana, the super-sized 30,000-room resort town that plays host to most visitors to the Dominican Republic, doesn't sound like much of a model for sustainable tourism. But the area's first resort, Puntacana Resort and Club, is beating a greener path, with an ecological foundation and environmental research center that have undertaken a range of promising initiatives, from local schooling to coral conservation. In an awards ceremony in Brazil last week, Puntacana became the first Caribbean organization to receive the Tourism for Tomorrow Award from the World Travel and Tourism Council.
Jake Kheel, the head of the Ecological Foundation, spoke to me about the resort's commitment to sustainability, how a single company can spread ecotourism ideas among other hotels and governments, and Oscar de la Renta's fondness for bees.

I'm a huge history nerd too. Hopefully I covered all my bases here. If there is anything I missed, just ask. I like to say that I'm an open book (the only problem is, I was written in my own made up language)

Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the indictment of a managing partner of U.S. broker-dealer Direct Access Partners (DAP) for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the Travel Act, and money laundering statutes. This indictment follows on the heels of last month's indictment of two other DAP employees for the same alleged conduct, as well as the foreign official who received the bribes at issue.
The investigation into DAP was prompted by information discovered during a routine, periodic examination by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC's) New York office broker-dealer examination staff. The discovery of the alleged conduct without the involvement of any whistleblower, self-reporting, or regulator tasked directly with FCPA enforcement should serve as a wake-up call for the need for anticorruption compliance by regulated companies.

The new Hope Hospice House is mostly single-story construction, with a two-story, 4,000-square-foot administration area at the front of the building. Each of the three patient wings includes a nursing station and an outdoor gathering area with a unique water feature. All 24 private patient care suites include screened lanais overlooking the water features and spacious accommodations for family and visitors. The Hope Hospice House also includes a chapel, bereavement counseling offices, full-service commercial kitchen and community meeting rooms.
According to Kraft's project manager, Jim Grant, a 10,000-gallon underground storage tank and back-up emergency generator enables the Hope Hospice House to safely operate during emergency situations, such as a hurricane, for several weeks.

PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Punxsy girls' basketball team — a squad typically known for its defensive prowess — scored 60 points for the second consecutive game, including 22 in the first quarter, on its way to a 60-48 victory over Purchase Line Monday night in Punxsutawney.
After opening the season with seven straight losses, Punxsy has now won three games in a row and is gaining confidence with each win.
CURWENSVILLE — Punxsy's junior high school wrestlers won 10-of-11 matches that took place on the mat in Curwensville, losing 18 points by forfeit, to cruise to a 54-24 victory over the Golden Tide Thursday night in Curwensville.
"We were pretty pleased with our kids" performances at Curwensville," Punxsy head coach Bill Burke said. "We have to be, considering we only lost one bout on the mat. I was a little worried about how they would perform, being that we haven't wrestled since Dec. 21."

I could not imagine a better place to stay in Rome. The location is superb with uninterrupted views of the coloseum - just spectacular ( when booking a room with a view). The staff & service is nothing short of wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble & they are more than happy to book tickets to sites (allowing you to avoid queues), arrange tours etc. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.

Be sure where you will be staying !!! I have booked a hotel room in the Hotel Gladiatori which is very nice and I got an horrible apartment in completely different place - the standard of that apartment was far below 4 stars !!!

It is a great view from the top of the collisium. The breakfast is less than edible and they say a lite dinner is offered. I find a lite dinner of nuts and crackers a bit lite. The drinks are very expensive. Very hard to find a place to eat around the hotel. So eat before you come back to the area. Paid 60 euro to get to the hotel from the train station only after taking the train from the airport because they did not send the car I had ordered and had a confirmation on. From the airport the car would have costed us 60 euro and two hours less in time. The staff was not very helpful let alone ever around. It was a beautiful city but the hotel was very expensive for what you got and I would not recommend it to any one. A better place to stay would be up by the Spanish Steps if you would like a little advise. If we could have left and gone elsewhere I would have.

We spent one week in the Loft Serpenti, an appartment of this hotel. Nobody has informed us before that the appartment is actually located outside the hotel, where there is NO view whatsoever, high marble stairs, no fresh bread for breakfast and discos at night. The staff was quite unfriendly, and the price is too high for the value offered. We were quite disappointed with this choise. We do not recommend it and would never go there again.

The Hotel itself is in a good location if your main interest is the collusseum. Be aware that the "loft" rooms are not located in the actual building of the hotel and are actually a 5-10 min walk away. If you stay in the loft rooms you are not offered complimentary buffet breakfast like the rooms in the hotel are, instead you are given packet food and are expected to eat that. If you wish to go for the breakfast buffet you will have to pay an extra 20 euro per person!! We found the staff to be quite rude and very unhelpful when we had requests. It all seemed too hard. We ended up cancelling our booking and moving to a more friendlier hotel accross the road which included breakfast! As much as the rooms in the hotel building were nice from what i saw, i would not stay here again due to the poor service we recieved.

The best service I ever encounter from an hotel staff. The hotel is just in from of the Colosseo, and we had free tickets from the hotel for visiting it. Very nice also the free welcome drink in the panoramic terrace. The metro is just 5 minuts walking, and you can easly reach every place of Rome.

I travel very frequently for business and pleasure, and this hotel can be described with one word...EXCELLENT! Central location, quiet, nice breakfast, very clean, and very supportive staff. My car service confused the date my reservation, and the staff at this hotel was able to find me another service immediately. It should be rated 5 stars.

This was our 1st family visit to Roma. We stayed at the Gladiatori Apartments – about a 10 minute walk from the Coliseum. The staff at Dei Gladiatori Hotel (a phone call away) was awesome and very helpful. For us, 2 adults and two older children (20 and 21) the apartment, and the location were great! The minuses for some people would be the 3 flights of stairs and the typical small European shower - however this was not a problem for us. We will definitely consider either the hotel or the apartments again!

The hotel sleeping rooms are quiet and perfect if you want to sleep in. The roof top terrace is great for breakfast. We were not always pleased with the concierge recomendations on restaurants and guides.

Hotel Galdiotori is very definitely the best hotel we have stayed at in Rome. Although pricey, you get value for money. The staff are attentive without being overly humble. You are situated on the main road so sirens at night were a regular accompaniment! Be careful of restaurants near big attractions - very expensive and some not great. The best we ate at was La Carbonara in Cavour. Only a 15 minute walk from Gladiatori but excellent food. This is an Italian restaurant for Italians so take your phrase book with you!

Overall, the hotel was awesome! The view is gorgeous from the roof top terrace and the bar is excellent. Great service too! The only thing I would comment on is that it can be a bit noisy at night time from the street traffic. I would reccomend an inside room. There won't be a view but it will be alot more quiet. Definitely would go back!

Room we had was small but comfortable and well appointed. Quality fitings - en suite marble very clean. Decor warm and simple. Only down side was the noise from traffic as the trams rumbled past but the location and friendliness of staff made up for this. Breakfast on the rooftop overlooking the Colosseum was amazing.

The hotel was just as pictured on the website. The location is excellent. We were able to tour the Coliseum and Forum in the morning, return to the hotel for a rest, and revisit again in the afternoon. The staff were very courteous and helpful.

We stayed in the Gladiatori at the end of February. Our room was smallish, but not tiny, but the view from the window was superb - you could almost reach out and touch the colloseum! The room was very quiet & it was hard to believe that you were right beside a busy road - the double glazing worked very well! The bathroom was really good with a hot, powerful shower & nice big thick towels & bathrobe. On our first evening there, we got back to the room after a hard day's walking around the sights of Rome (in the rain!), to find a bottle of bubbly & plate of canapes waiting for us - it was very much appreciated! Only tiny complaint is that the bar was a little on the pricey side, however you don't get a spectacular view of one of the most famous monuments in the world in every bar!

New cross-platform campaign ratings system was developed with WPP.
Advertisers have long complained about the disconnect between TV and digital metrics. Today, Nielsen unveiled a system called Nielsen Cross-Platform Campaign Ratings that it says will finally bridge that gap.
The new system, developed in partnership with WPP's GroupM, builds off Nielsen's Online Campaign Ratings product, which it debuted in August 2011. That tool allows advertisers to track the reach, frequency and GRP metrics for their Internet advertising, revealing, among other things, the age and gender of up to 50 percent of the people seeing their web ads.
Nielsen Cross-Platform Campaign Ratings will combine that information with Nielsen's existing television ratings data to provide clients with total and overlapped reach and frequency of their marketing campaigns.
"Cross-platform metrics are essential to both buyers and sellers of advertising," said Steve Hasker, president of media products and advertiser solutions for Nielsen, in a press release. "Every day, we're hearing from advertisers, online publishers, TV networks and agencies that a better system of measurement is required. Through working closely with GroupM and others in the industry we believe we can help create best practices that will benefit the entire ecosystem."
Although GroupM has contributed to the development of the system, it will not be available exclusively to GroupM clients. A statement announcing the new system said the two groups were working together to develop other measurement tools that go beyond TV and the Internet, hinting that a similar mobile metrics system may be in the works.

Watch the First Ever Israeli Duel in the NBA
Last night Gal Mekel and Omri Casspi squared off in the preseason
Last night when the Houston Rockets and the Dallas Mavericks did battle, it was not just your ordinary (and typically meaningless) intra-state preseason contest. As a Houstonian, I'm obliged to say that the Rockets did win 100-95, but there was bigger news because the game featured the first match-up between Omri Casspi and Gal Mekel, the first and second Israelis to ever play NBA ball respectively. The two are also teammates from their years spent on Israel's national team.
Casspi and Mekel don't play the same position–Casspi's a small forward and Mekel is a point guard–so they didn't guard each other, but both players got some extended playing time and shared the court for several minutes in the game. Final stats bend toward Mekel, who had nine points and six assists in 22 minutes, but Casspi had quite a showing with 10 points and four rebounds over 19 minutes.
As we noted back in July, Casspi joined the Rockets after a disappointing stint in Cleveland. Mekel, formerly of Maccabi Haifa, played college ball at Wichita State and was pursued by a number of teams in the off-season before joining the Mavs.
The best part, of course, is listening to the Tex-flected television announcers absolutely butcher Casspi's name.
Watch the Casspi/Mekel highlights below. And get excited.

Rudder Steering Failure
View Single Post
Bristol 45.5 - AiniA
Join Date: May 2006
Posts: 3,786
Thanks: 5
Thanked 93 Times in 81 Posts
Rep Power:
Another possible approach is to drill a hole in the top aft corner of the rudder and fit an eye bolt through it with eye nut that attaches to the other side (not sure of the proper name for this but I think you know what I mean). The remove this setup and fill the hole with something not very permanent - perhaps a piece of dowel or something like that. In the rare chance you need it, you can knock out the dowel and mount your eyes without having to drag them around all the time.
I am trying to picture the situation where you might need this. If a steering cable goes your emergency tiller would do the trick. Similarly for any situation where the head of the shaft is still connected to the rudder. The shaft itself is highly unlikely to break (assuming any reasonable engineering). Perhaps if the shaft could break away from the steel webs inside the rudder (more likely) and the rudder turns independently from the shaft.
We had a steering cable go between French Polynesia and the Cook Islands this year and I was able to rig a new one (spares are a very good thing) in something like 6-8 hours. Had to be very careful as the rudder quadrant was moving in the waves and the chance of crushing a finger was pretty high. Annoyingly enough I had inspected the cables about 6 weeks before and they seemed fine. Ainia is a centercockpit and the steering cables are long and convoluted. The breakage happened in area where there was no inspection port and I only had been able to check at a distance with a flashlight.
Heading back to Lake Ontario for this summer. Ainia is back in North America for the first time since 2010. Currently in Long Island Sound.

Best gelato in Ottawa: the Twitter poll edition!
Sun, heat, and a long weekend add up to one thing: gelato (they also add up to patios, but math was never my strong point). Gelato is ice cream's Italian cousin: sexier, more sophisticated, and – just to add insult to injury – less fattening. Since the May long weekend marks the perfect time to indulge in the ultimate summer treat, we've asked Ottawa's Twitterati to let us know who they think makes the best gelato in town. The fact that I live one block from Truffle Treasures has apparently... | Continue reading article

Please tell me that you're not now endorsing the position that public pressure should be permitted to deny representation to unpopular parties or causes. Perhaps you've never read *To Kill A Mockingbird* -- or, in fact, any history at all? You surely should.
And please don't respond by suggesting that "this is different; this time the unpopular cause is *against* civil rights, not for it." That's just question begging: you're using your policy-based conclusion as your excuse for allowing public opinion and pressure to deny representation. But of course if that method is permitted, anyone can use it for any purpose.

Posted by: Charlie | Apr 25, 2011 12:04:51 PM
I actually think that his stance is right; just because the defense of DOMA is unpopular (and bigoted, hurtful, and essentially immoral) doesn't mean that he should be demonized for defending it. Although I/we don't like DOMA, it *is* still the law.
Posted by: Jacob | Apr 25, 2011 12:05:39 PM
Individuals always deserve a defense. But the right to a defense, or any human rights at all do not apply to corporations, ideas or a heinous, discriminatory law that's killing people and breaking up families. The idea that abstract concepts somehow deserve human rights before people do is disgustingly stupid. It's the same kind of addled logic that gave corporations free speech rights.

GEE, Mr. President, it only took that law firm a few days to "evolve." It took you over TWO YEARS to decide not to defend DOMA in court, but you're STILL enforcing it, and STILL think God wants only Hets like you to be able to marry.

K&S did what it had to do; Clement did what he had to do. For Clement, he's evidently up for the battle that he will lose. For K&S, it would have been pretty bad to be a firm that upholds LGBT equality and diversity and take this case.

@PETER. You're right. He should be demonized for wanting to defend a bigoted law.

What a bold faced lie! Saying the client - a political rabble of heated politicians - is in need. And then waving some misrepresentation of the ethics of what it means to be a lawyer and stand by your client?
This has nothing to do with ethics or how history will judge.
As much as this sounds like some Atticus Finch fan applying for law school, one needs to be a decent man before being a lawyer. Taking the case was a mistake and it is time to admit it.

I can imagine his new colleagues at Bancroft PLLC simply can't wait to great him or welcome the civil rights case of the era. Cough.
If they don't mind rather weighty albatrosses around their neck and growing public protests on the front steps.
The thing about "unpopular" cases, where the majority attempt to further curtail and diminish the rights of a minority, is that they have every right to pursue them - but they have no right to whine about it when they are hooted and jeered in public for their decision to. It's not a fair fight. People hate unfair fights.
Posted by: yonkersconquers | Apr 25, 2011 12:15:09 PM
The main thrust of his letter is essentially that all ideas deserve representation. Therefore, lawyers shouldn't be the gatekeepers to justice; they should accept the cases that come to them without regard to their "unpopular" nature.
This cab rank rule is often used as a shield by lawyers with unpopular clients. More power to him for that, but he would have made that point more effectively if he had read the Judge Griffin Bell quotation he used in his letter: "You are not required to take every client that comes before you..." Cab rank requires you to take every client.

Wait. Wait! So the Bipartisan Whatever hired Clement, and not K&S? Clement owns this case?
Posted by: Russell | Apr 25, 2011 12:19:20 PM
Clement's an ass, but that's hardly a surprise.
As to all the people who are interestingly flooding this board crying for lawyers (!) who fight against civil rights (!), LETSODOMRING nails it. We already know that just because something un-Constitutional is the law doesn't mean it has to be defended -- in fact, it must not be. This is an excellent example of that.
There is no justice in defending injustice. You have to know that. So why all the ultra-concerned posts proclaiming the absolute necessity and the God-given right for this country to destroy its own citizens?
Posted by: exsidleynycadmin | Apr 25, 2011 12:20:10 PM
Just undertake this thought exercise with me: Imagine that it's 2018. There's a Republican in the White House. ENDA has passed (this is a thought-experiment hypo; don't get lost in bits like whether ENDA would have passed by then). The Republican Justice Department refuses to defend it. Opponents of ENDA have successfully convinced much of the public that ENDA is not a civil-rights measure, but a "special-rights" measure that violates the civil rights of employers, property owners and other parties. In other words, they are making the claim that opposition to ENDA is a civil-rights measure, and that support of ENDA violates important rights. A Democrat-controlled House seeks private counsel to defend ENDA. Those opposed to ENDA attempt to apply public pressure to keep big, respectable law firms from taking that representation -- and then try to keep any firms from taking the case.
Are you OK with those developments? If you're OK with what's happening here, you can have no *principled* objection to those developments. Your position could only, at best, be: what's good for us isn't good for our opponents, because we're *right,* and they're *evil.* But of course the opponents can make the same characterization. Ascribing a label to positions you disagree with and then using the ascription of that label to apply different rules to your opponents than to yourselves is not a principled position. It's just the sheerest (and most embarrassing) of childish foot-stamping.
Posted by: Quite a Position | Apr 25, 2011 12:28:29 PM
"...and still by the excellent clement..."
If this is your starting point, I can see why you're confused. It's not possible to be evil and excellent. It just isn't. Crafty, underhanded, criminal -- but not excellent.
And it doesn't matter if The God of Attorneys defended DOMA because there is no case. Meanwhile, not only has Clement had his reputation ruined in the mainstream, he's now firmly relegated to the world of right-wing crazies, where he belongs. His resignation letter has forever separated him from the rest of the world. Any veneer of "excellence" that he was trying to establish is gone for good.
Works for me. A good part of the legal game is psychological warfare. We've already won that. Now on to win the case and have this guy go in the trashbin of history.
Posted by: exsidleynycadmin | Apr 25, 2011 12:30:35 PM
This brings to mind the quote from "A Tale of Two Cities" (in reference to the then state of the french aristocracy). Which seems entirely appropriate to this circumstance of justifing support of the wrong side of history: " It is singular just how long the rotten can hold together, provided it is handled gently".

Commissioners approve resolution to dodge lawsuit over Clam Bay markers
Collier County commissioners voted Tuesday to approve a resolution aimed at dodging a lawsuit by a North Naples neighborhood over navigational markers in Clam Bay.
The Seagate Property Owners Association has sued the county in Collier Circuit Court over a 2011 decision to install canoe trail and information markers instead of more formal red-and-green Coast Guard markers.
The resolution rewrites the sentence in a 1988 Clam Bay management plan that Seagate contends requires the navigational markers and replaces the sentence with a requirement that the county install the canoe trail markers.
A county-appointed board that runs a county taxing district in the Pelican Bay neighborhood, which opposes the navigational markers, voted in December to recommend that commissioners approve the resolution. Commission Chairman Fred Coyle, siding with Seagate, cast the sole dissenting vote.

Central Arecanut and Cocoa Marketing and Processing Cooperative (CAMPCO) Ltd. is contemplating procuring coconut and pepper from farmers, according to its president Konkodi Padmanabha.
Speaking to presspersons on the sidelines of a function organised to release bath soaps of arecanut here on Wednesday he said that a proposal to this effect would be placed in the general body meeting of the cooperative in this September. The general body's approval would be sought for amending the cooperative's by-laws for enabling it to procure coconut and pepper.
Currently CAMPCO, a mutli-state cooperative of Karnataka and Kerala, procured arecanut, rubber and cocoa from farmers.
He said that CAMPCO would set up another windmill to reduce its dependency on grid power at its chocolate factory in Puttur.
The 2.1 MW capacity windmill would be set up at Chikkodi before March, 2012. This would be in addition to 1.25 MW capacity windmill it commissioned at Halthimalapura in Hoovinahadagali taluk, Bellary district, two years ago, he said.
Its first windmill started operation on March 31, 2009. It generated 25 lakh units of power in 2009-10 and 21 lakh units in 2010-11, Mr. Padmanabha said.
He said that the chocolate factory produced 13,000 tons of semi-finished and semi-finished cocoa products in 2010-11. It has aimed at increasing it to 17,000 tonnes in the current financial year.
Earlier at the function he released "Pooga Singar" bath soap made out of arecanut and produced by P. Shankar Bhat Badanaje, a farmer-cum-researcher of Vitla to the market.
Addressing the gathering he said that CAMPCO would ensure that the soaps were available for sale in its procurement centres for farm products.
He suggested farmers not to extend area under arecanut cultivation.
Nalin Kumar Kateel, Member of Parliament, Mangalore, said that special economic zones for industries could not provide employment to all people. But agriculture provided employment to all including those who did not have literacy. He said that cashew factories also gave employment to those did not have literacy.
He alleged that Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd. (MRPL) did not gave employment to members of farmer families displaced for setting up its establishment here.
The MP congratulated Mr. Badanaje for producing a value added product of arecanut.
Mr. Badanaje said that more researchers should come forward for producing value added products from arecanut. They should meet the requirements of consumers in the modern era. He said that extract from an arecanut made a bar of soap he produced.
Mr. Badanaje said that he also made lip stick from arecanut extract.
Progressive farmer D. C. Chowta and president of All India Areca Growers' Association Manchi Srinivasa Achar spoke. (EOM)

Submitted by Tuck News
Tuck News writes: China, the USA's biggest foreign creditor is warning Congress it must resolve the political impasse over the debt ceiling without further delay. China's Vice Foreign Minister, Zhu Guangyao, told America's deadlocked politicians on Monday that "the clock is ticking" and called on them to approve an extension of the national borrowing limit before the federal government is projected to run out of cash on 17 October, a date that is rapidly approaching.

Pune: Republican Party of India (RPI) president and Rajya Sabha MP Ramdas Athawale on Monday alleged that Congress and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) are preventing Raj Thackeray for joining the mega-alliance fold.
Athawale on Monday took out a road show and campaigned in RPI-dominant areas in the city. After paying tribute to Lokshahir Annabhau Sathe at Sathe Memorial opposite Sarasbaug, Athawale's show passed through Dandekar bridge, Indiranagar, Market Yard, Kasewadi, Harakanagar, Dais Plot, Maldhakka, Private Road, Tadiwala Road, Yerawada, Vishrantwadi, Ambedkarnagar, Khadki and Bopodi where RPI has its pockets and elected representatives.
RPI city unit president Mahendra Kamble, Parshuram Wadekar, Navnath Kamble, Avinash Mahatekar, MD Shewale and others accompanied him. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Anil Shirole, election in-charge Pradeep Rawat, MLA Girish Bapat and other leaders were also present.
Criticising Thackeray for his criticism of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar memorial at Indu Mill in Dadar, Athawale said, "RPI would go out of mega-alliance if MNS joins it. Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray and even BJP leaders have tried to rope in Thackeray but he refused only because of Congress and NCP."
Athawale said that Congress and NCP want to harness on MNS damage to the mega-alliance and hence they are not allowing him to join the fold. He said that not a single MP of MNS would be elected, and hence they are not needed to make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister of the country.
On 'Lalu' remark
Reacting to criticism by Thackeray, he said, "Raj has termed me as the Lalu of Maharashtra. I would not call him the Bhaloo of Congress-NCP nor would I call him Chaalu. I cannot imitate anyone or insult anyone like him."

Electrolytic action on aluminum spars
I'm in the process of painting the aluminum mast, boom and cross trees on a 1978 Islander 28. I've removed all the standing rigging & other hardware and sanded down to bare metal which after 30 years is still in excellent condition but for some slight surface corrosion on the boom around some of the steel fittings. I believe this is the result of electrolytic action and I'm looking for advice to stop it recurring. I guess I can coat screws and pop rivets with silicone but what about other areas where steel touches aluminum? Is there a recommended insulating material, an insulating paint perhaps or perhaps just more silcone? Apart from this one question I am ready to finish the project as soon as we have the next couple of Seattle days that are dry and over 60 Fahrenheit. Thanks in advance, advice much appreciated.

Report: Foster says he took money at Tennessee
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Houston Texans running back Arian Foster says in an upcoming documentary he accepted money his senior year at Tennessee.
"Honestly, I don't know if this will throw us into an NCAA investigation, but my senior year I was getting money on the side," Foster says in the EPIX documentary. "I really didn't have any money. I had to either pay the rent or buy some food. I remember the feeling, like, `Man, be careful,' but there's nothing wrong with it. You're not going to convince me that there is something wrong with it."
Sports Illustrated first reported Foster's comments in the documentary, "Schooled: The Price of College Sports."
Foster, who played for the Volunteers from 2005-08, expanded on his comments Friday after the Texans' practice.
"I feel very strong about the injustice the NCAA has been doing for years," Foster said. That's why I said what I said. I'm not trying to throw anyone under the bus or anything like that. ... I feel like I shouldn't have to run from the NCAA anymore. They're like these big bullies. I'm not scared of them."
Andrew Muscato, a producer of the documentary, said Foster didn't specify how much money he received or who paid him during the four-hour interview in February.
Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart said in a statement released by the university Friday that, "We can't speak to something that allegedly happened a long time ago."
Hart said what the university can "say is that the values and priorities of our athletic department and football program are aligned, and the constant education of our student-athletes regarding the rules and the consequences of their choices is of the highest priority."
In response to an email about Foster's comments, NCAA spokeswoman Emily Potter said that "I can't speak to a specific situation."
Generally, the NCAA has a four-year statute of limitations on allegations. But if the NCAA determines there are extenuating circumstances in this case such as a pattern of behavior, it could subject Tennessee to another investigation and potentially more penalties. Tennessee is on probation through Aug. 23, 2015, for previous violations.
The Foster report comes one week after Yahoo Sports reported that a runner for agents provided illegal benefits to Tennessee defensive lineman Maurice Couch and former Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray as well as former Alabama offensive tackle D.J. Fluker, former Mississippi State defensive tackle Fletcher Cox and former Mississippi State wide receiver Chad Bumphis. Couch has been ruled ineligible while the school investigates those allegations.
Foster said Friday the money he received didn't come from a coach.
A phone call Friday to Phillip Fulmer, the Tennessee coach during Foster's college career, wasn't immediately returned.
"Side people always offer you money all the time, just random people usually. `Can I take care of you?' " Foster said Friday. "It happens all the time. When you're at college and your family doesn't make a lot of money, it's hard to make ends meet. ... Toward the end of the month, you run out every month. It's a problem all across America. It's just when you play top-tier Division I football, there's people that are willing to help you out. I got helped out."

Employers Find Increase in Wellness Incentive 'Most Beneficial' Element of Health Reform Law, Lockton Survey Shows
KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Thirty-seven percent of responding Lockton Benefit Group clients found the increase in employee wellness incentives to be the most beneficial element of the health reform law. Lockton asked the question in a recent survey.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090415/CG99351LOGO)
In 2014, employers will be able to offer an incentive of up to 30 percent of an employee's total healthcare premium, if the employee is doing everything asked to improve his or her health and reduce medical costs. This is an increase from the 20 percent incentive currently permitted. More than 40 percent of Lockton Benefit Group client-companies responded to the confidential survey, which asked a dozen questions about the impact of health reform law on their group health plans. Please click here to review the complete survey results.
"We know that our employer-clients like the opportunity to reward employees that make healthy lifestyle choices," said Dr. Ian Chuang, Lockton Medical Director and member of the Health Reform Advisory Practice. "The difference in cost for health insurance for an employee with this incentive can be thousands of dollars annually, depending on the total premium cost. So for the employer, this is a true benefit of the health reform law."
Dr. Chuang noted that savvy employers realize they will ultimately reduce their health insurance costs by addressing the risks leading to illnesses and claims, which will also improve employee productivity. "The incentive program has to be designed to promote health and prevent disease," Chuang said. "Incentives like this are often key components in the overall Health Risk Management strategies we work closely with our clients to design."
Edward Fensholt, director of Lockton's Compliance Services Division and a member of the firm's Health Reform Advisory Practice added, "We expect to see further guidance under health reform that could allow employers to raise the incentive to 50 percent in special circumstances. We will continue to work with our clients to keep them informed on the latest legislation and how it impacts their business."
