C1 Steering Box Restoration - Restoring The C-1 Steering Gear
Here is a prime incentive for rebuilding a C-1 steering gear. A previous owner stripped the steering wheel nut and threads on the steering shaft. Threads on the shaft are beyond repair, requiring replacement of the entire steering shaft and worm. Although the gear has only minor wear, a complete restoration is now practical.
The tale of damage began with the replacement of the turn signal switch. Use care when removing and installing the steering wheel. Cross threading the steering shaft threads is not only dangerous, it requires complete disassembly of the steering gear to remedy. This shaft has been ruined by careless workmanship.
Getting the steering gear to this stage begins with disconnecting the pitman arm and draglink while in the chassis. If necessary, loosen the gear from the frame and rotate slightly to access the sector. Use a pitman arm puller to remove the arm. Follow the ST-12 manual's steps when removing and installing the steering gear assembly. Unless damaged, the mast should be left in place during the rebuild.
Saginaw worm-and-roller steering is a rugged design. Compared to Gemmer and Ross manual gears of the period, the Corvette C-1 steering gear has much better sector shaft support and a superior roller bearing design.
These illustrations (courtesy of the 1953-62 Corvette Service Guide, ST-12) show the layout and operation of the gear.
To compensate for leaks, the original lubricant was gradually replaced by chassis grease. A rebuild will restore tolerances and includes a modern sector seal in place of the original packing type.
Once cleaned, bearings can be pressed from the gear housing.
The upper bearing cup is a challenge. A special (rare) G.M. puller removes this tapered bearing cup and the adjuster race. Another technique is to weld a pair of one-inch string beads at opposite faces of the old cup. Carefully confine these beads and heat to the race cup, and do not damage the housing! As the beads cool, the cup collapses slightly and slides loose. Here, a new cup seats snugly with a cup driver tool and hydraulic press.
New needle roller bearing presses into the housing bore. Needle cages must be pressed from the reinforced, square end of the bearing shell. Use a press lube like Sunnen's B-200L Lubricant to protect the housing. Each bearing should rest at its original position. Wipe away lube before packing grease into the bearings.
The new worm is a sturdy replacement design. Available from Corvette Central, Corvette America and other suppliers, the worm shaft and roller kit is a boon for C-1 owners. Many restoration projects depend upon NOS parts. These contemporary parts enable a quality rebuild to factory specifications.
New worm and steering shaft replace the damaged original shaft. The worm-and-roller gears must be a matched set. Replica shaft and roller show quality materials and machining. Cost to repair the damaged original shaft would exceed the price of the entire rebuild kit. C-1 owners should take advantage of current parts availability.
Balance of the kit contains all needed parts for thoroughly rebuilding a C-1 steering gear. Note quality of components. Each wear point is considered. Bearings, column bearing, the cover gasket, sector seal and a new roller assembly address the wear points. A molded draglink seal and pitman arm nut are additional pieces not included in the kit.
Hard parts get glass bead blasted. This cleans, de-burrs and restores surfaces. The original sector shaft is in excellent condition and gets a new roller and bearing assembly. Since the shaft itself is usually in good condition, the kit does not require a shaft. Needle roller bearing in the side cover can be carefully peened inward with a punch. Protect castings when removing or installing bearings.
Roller consists of outer tooth and inner race assembly. Ball bearings run between these parts. The original through bolt ("shaft") and nut will be reused. The bolt shown is strictly for holding the assembly together for shipping. This precisely machined set of parts will restore performance to like-new level.
The original, factory shaft-bolt and hex nut secure the roller assembly in the sector. Bolt and nut torque is 55 ft. lbs. Apply Loctite 271 (red) to clean threads. The sector flanges pinch the inner bearing races together, preventing the races from rotating on the shaft in service. Pack the ball bearings with chassis grease.
Once the shaft-bolt is secure, the exposed threads require peening. This is the factory method for preventing the nut from coming loose. Peening crushes the threads toward the nut. Done properly, the peened thread sections lock the nut in place, preventing it from loosening in service. Do not overlook this safety measure.
The rebuild kit includes a new upper column bearing. This provides a new horn wire as well. Before installing the new worm and steering shaft, carefully press the upper bearing into the column tube. Be certain to align the wire properly, using the original, factory routing as a guide.
A correctly lubed column bearing and renewed brass horn ring are an important part of gear restoration. The bearing is not readily accessible once the steering wheel is in place. Greased and fresh, the bearing supports the upper steering shaft. For the bearing to function properly, install the steering wheel's spring and other hardware in the right order.
Pack the tapered worm bearings with grease. Coat the worm surface with grease as well. By now, you have installed new bearing races in the worm adjuster cup and the gear housing. The threaded adjuster cup will set the load on these bearings. Coat the adjuster's threads with a thread sealant to prevent gear lube seepage.
Temporarily mount the steering wheel on the steering shaft. An alternative, shown, is to fabricate a lever arm with nut. The arm's spring scale hole is drilled to match the radius of the steering wheel. Before testing the worm bearing adjustment, grease the sector bearings and temporarily install the sector shaft with side cover. Keep the sector adjustment loose to prevent any drag. Worm bearings require a 3/8- to 5/8-pound pull at the steering wheel rim. Pull at right angles to the spokes.
Once the worm bearings are adjusted properly, secure the large lock nut without rotating the adjuster. (Avoid the hammer and punch method on this nut. A suitable chain wrench will tighten the nut securely without leaving a mark.) Again, turn the gear gently to its left/right extremes, pulling with the spring scale. New bearings can be set closer to the 3/8-pound pull.
For final assembly, coat the adjuster screw, cover bolt threads and side cover gasket with sealant or Gasgacinch. The adjuster thrust washer controls clearance between the screw's button head and the sector slot. This gap should be 0.002" or less, measured with a feeler gauge (shown from ST-12 manual).
If there is too much adjuster-to-sector play, Chevrolet's fix is the rare NOS assorted-thickness washer kit, part #605142. New adjuster screws are available in the aftermarket or as NOS part #7802482. Back off the adjuster screw and tighten side cover bolts with lock washers, evenly and securely.
Working on a variety of gears, the fabricated tool is handy. The stock Corvette steering wheel measures approximately 18" diameter. The lever hole is equal to the rim of the wheel. Pull the spring scale perpendicular to the arm or a steering wheel spoke. Over-center, a "high point" increases drag and should read a total pull of 7/8- to 1-7/8 pounds. Once correct, hold the adjuster screw and tighten the lash nut to 15-20 ft. lbs. Again, check the full left-to-right range pull.
Fully adjusted, the entire gear gets a primer sealer coat. Mask off the sector splines and threads. Also, mask the upper steering shaft threads, splines and the brass horn ring. This is an epoxy primer, and it will act as a quality base and sealer for the catalyzed commercial enamel color coat.
Color coat is a semi-gloss black as per the owner's preference. Factory match would be a flatter black mast, a gloss upper turn signal cup and silver gear housing. The cover coat should be paint with excellent adhesion and resistance to oils, heat and grease. Once cured, you can protect the mast for installation with a wrap of masking paper.
Ball stud masked, the glass-beaded and clean pitman arm gets its coat of primer-sealer and color. Avoid painting the splines, as this can cause a false torque setting during installation. The pitman must fit tightly on the sector splines. You will install the pitman arm after the gear is in the chassis.
Here, the masked column tube protects the gear during assembly. Getting the gear in and out of the car is not easy. This job requires two people and care. Suspend the upper column temporarily with tie straps while aligning and attaching the gear to the frame. The firewall plate, loosened during installation, should hang loosely on the column.
Cast frame spacer and factory hardware now have the gear positioned on the frame. Torque the nuts to 35 ft. lbs. with new, properly graded lock washers. Use Loctite 242 on bolt threads for added safety. Allow hardware and parts to settle. After loading the gear, re-torque these nuts.
Pitman arm has been installed with the gear in the chassis. The nut torque should be 120-125 ft.-lbs. Use Loctite 242 and a fresh, graded lockwasher to secure the pitman arm. Replace any worn draglink parts. Install and adjust the draglink plug to factory specifications. Secure with a fresh cotter pin. New dust seal holds grease in the joint.
This plate must hang on the column tube during installation! After the gear is fully in place, install the plate and caulk the seam. Use the original dust-hole cover seal if intact. If not, replace the seal. Here, air conditioning caulk assures that engine bay fumes and heat will not enter the driver's compartment. Caulk the inside floorboard, too.
Prior to operating the gear, fill the housing with lube. For a moderate climate, use a 90W-120 or similar EP gear lubricant. The factory fill was "SG" (steering gear) lubricant, similar to 90W gear lube. Multi-viscosity lube provides better protection when the engine heats up the steering gear. After driving the Corvette briefly, check and top off the lube to the bottom of the fill hole threads. While chassis grease is often added to offset a leak problem, the modern sector seal should retain gear lube for many years.

Changing cloth...
I feel like an idiot asking it, but... Folks, WHERE do you change the cloth? Like I have a stock trailer no dressing room, so if we gonna show this year I can't think of the place to change it (in truck is impossible because I'm way too tall :-) ).
Kitten, they make panels for stock trailers, so you can cover up the sides.
I don't have a stock, but I've changed in my trailer more than once. Peed in it too, when the porta johns were just too nasty.
Bahahahahaha! Thank you, ladies! Yes, those portable toilets don't look extremely attractive for changing the white cloth. I'll google around for the panels. I have no problem changing it in trailer, just with open sides it'll be too exciting for the public I'm afraid. :wink: And unfortunately it's usually so hot here starting May that I'll bake while driving in 2 layers of clothing (although I may try that one too).
Tuck a blanket over the sides so they arent see thru? Or use a tarp threaded on some rope?

The 48 hour general strike called by the Joint Committee of Trade Unions (JCTU), comprising of 11 Central Trade Unions, once again saw massive participation of the working class. On 20 and 21st February, over 100 million workers all over India participated to say 'No' to neo-liberal reforms. Although the strike was declared a 'partial success' by the mainstream (bosses') media, the strike did see a major shutdown in many parts of India. The industry association, ASSOCHAM, estimated losses due to the strike at Rs. 26,000 crores ($4.77 billion).
line-height:150%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-style:italic">The recent period has also witnessed massive protests by the youth and the urban salaried middle classes on the issue of the gang rape of a 23 year old student in Delhi – also a reflection of the growth of mass protest.
line-height:150%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-style:italic">The general strike had a major impact in the national capital, Delhi, especially in suburbs like Gurgaon and in the Noida industrial belt. While the strike was largely peaceful in the Gurgaon region (which has been majorly impacted by the strike of the Maruti Suzuki workers in the last two years), violent protests erupted in Noida with many vehicles burned, factory units set on fire and over 100 arrested on charge of violence. It remains to be seen what actually triggered the unfortunate episode. Initial reports suggest clashes between factory owners and workers in a hosiery manufacturing complex leading to violent protests by the workers. But whatever the initial cause, it would not have started without a serious provocation on the part of the factory management (who are known to be anti-union and extremely brutal).
line-height:150%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-style:italic">The strike also saw a massive participation by workers and even complete shutdowns in other North Indian regions such as parts of Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. In the Southern region – excepting Kerala – that is in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, although only considered to be partially affected by the strike, nevertheless millions of workers participated in strike action in different parts of the region apart from the major urban centres. In the financial nerve centre of India – Mumbai – the whole financial sector was paralysed by the participation of the workers in the banking and insurance sectors (both public and private). In Maharashtra as a whole, the strike did not have the desired effect because of the betrayal of the leaders of some of the main trade unions like the Hind Mazdoor Sabha that controls the crucial transport sector.
line-height:150%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-style:italic">What Next?
line-height:150%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-style:italic">The situation begs today for a complete revamp in the strategies and tactics for the Trade Union movement. Since 1991 the working class of India has come out and valiantly conducted general strikes against neo-liberal practices 15 times, but the leadership which is predominantly with the left parties is yet to show any intention of taking the struggle forward to challenge the capitalist system which is the fountain-head of neo-liberalism. It is time that the leadership of the left/communist parties realised that there is no halfway in the struggle against this system. Workers need organisations which draw the conclusion that the system of capitalism is rotten to its core and allows little or no room for reform. Its replacement with a democratic socialist system is the only way forward.
line-height:150%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-style:italic">Working class youth and even sections of urban middle class wage earners are no longer prepared to wait and watch; they are moving into action, unfortunately sometimes with reactionary leadership or no leadership. The left parties and their ranks have been found lacking. In Tamil Nadu owing to the outdated response of the leadership towards the attacks on Daliths, the issue of Sri Lanka's genocidal war and the living struggle of people in Koodankulam, thousands of party card holders have rebelled and refused to renew their membership of the Communist Parties. Even minor splits have taken place in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, West Bengal and the Student/youth wing of CPI(M) in Delhi.
line-height:150%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-style:italic">New Socialist Alternative calls for an end to all price hikes, the cancellation of all workers' and small farmers' debts, the nationalisation of banks and insurance companies and of the multinationals that attempt to get a stranglehold on retail and on farming. For a programme to fight elections on socialist policies that will benefit the 99% and do away with the power of the vastly over-privileged 1% of Indian society.

By now, just about everyone accepts that carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels are warming our planet and changing our climate in harmful ways. With growing frequency we see headlines about extreme weather events such as heat waves, polar melting, severe drought, and violent storms—a dangerous mix whose costs for our economy and environment will only grow over time. Transitioning to a lower carbon economy is an essential step toward reducing these costs. The social cost of carbon (SCC) is a tool that helps Federal agencies decide which carbon-reducing regulatory approaches make the most sense—to know which come at too great a cost and which are a good deal for society.
Climate action makes fiscal and economic sense, and that is why we are taking new steps to code it into the DNA of how we do business at OMB. Each year, OMB issues a revised Circular A-11. For the entire Executive Branch, the Circular provides the latest guidance and technical instruction on how to prepare, submit, and execute the Budget. Agencies are asked to submit budget requests that reflect the priorities of the Administration, including improving the efficiency and effectiveness of government and returning the highest value to the American taxpayer. To that end, for the first time, the Circular includes an explicit requirement for the entire Executive Branch to ensure that funding requests in support of Federal facilities align with the Administration's climate preparedness and resilience goals.
In this Behind the Buy podcast, OFPP Administrator Anne Rung interviews Consumer Financial Protection Bureau contracting officer, Tara Jamison, who has experience in executing agile and iterative strategies supported by the TechFAR Handbook and Digital Services Playbook's at the Department of Defense and Department of Justice. Jamison explains how, through the procurement of counter-roadside bomb technology, she used rapid development and deployment to help save American lives during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
President Obama and his Administration are committed to protecting public health and the environment, while Congress is moving in the other direction.

Demand in Europe drives cannabis production in Morocco to dangerous levels
The demand for cannabis in Europe is driving more farmers in Morocco to cultivate the plant at the expense of legal crops, resulting in a growing industry now worth about $12 billion, according to a new report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
The first cannabis cultivation survey in Morocco, conducted by the Government and UNODC, confirms the country's role as the main producer of cannabis resin, or hashish. The report estimates the Arab state's raw cannabis production for 2003 at 47,000 metric tons corresponding to a potential hashish production of 3,080 metric tons. Both substances are mainly supplied to the European markets.
The amount of cannabis cultivation in 2003 suggests an increase in the past few years, which, according to the report, is often detrimental to other agricultural activities. This phenomenon of monoculture is dangerous for the ecosystem, especially because the farmers are making an extensive use of fertilizers and overexploit the soil.
Moreover, forested areas, which are among the specificities of the mountainous chain of the Rif area, are destroyed every year to accommodate new cannabis fields, thus accelerating soil erosion.
"Europe's drug habits are at the heart of the illegal activity, which is explained but not justified by the poverty of the Rif population," said Executive Director of UNODC Antonio Maria Costa in Rabat following the release of the survey.
Cannabis cultivation in Morocco is concentrated in the five provinces of the northern region along the Rif. One province alone - Chefchaouen - amounts to 50 percent of cultivation and 43 percent of potential production of raw cannabis, followed by Taounate, Al-Hoceima and the provinces of Larache and Tetouan.
The survey estimates cannabis cultivation at about 134,000 hectares in the five northern provinces. This represents 10 percent of the total area and 27 percent of the arable lands of the surveyed territory and 1.5 percent of Morocco's total arable land.
In the cannabis production area, 75 percent of the villages and 96,600 farms were found to produce cannabis in 2003. This amounted to 66 percent of the total numbers of farms in the surveyed area and 6.5 percent of the total number of farms in Morocco.
Sold 66 percent in raw form and 34 percent transformed into powder form, cannabis production enabled the producers to raise a total revenue of approximately $214 million in 2003. This represents 0.57 percent of Morocco's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), estimated at $37.3 billion.
Canabis producing farms represent a total population of about 800,000 persons, 2.5 percent of Morocco's total population estimated at 29.6 million in 2002. The average income per family generated by cannabis was estimated at $2,200 and represented on average half of the total annual income of a cannabis producing family in 2003.
In 2001, Spain was the country with largest hashish seizures with 57 percent of total world seizures and 75 percent of all seizures in Europe. Morocco was the third on that list with seven percent of global seizures. — (menareport.com)

How to Vote
To vote in Wisconsin, you need to do two things: register to vote, and cast your ballot on Election Day (Tuesday, Nov. 4). This website will answer some common questions about how to vote in Whitewater, but for more detailed information you can always visit the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board website.
Am I eligible to vote?
You need to be at least 18 years old, a U.S. citizen, and you cannot have lost your right to vote for some reason (like currently serving a sentence for a felony conviction).
Can I vote in Whitewater? I just moved here...
In Wisconsin, you need to live in a place for 28 days to be considered a resident. This means that if you moved into the residence halls on August 31, 2014, you are eligible to vote in Whitewater starting September 28, 2014.
In some cases, your primary residence might not be in Whitewater (for example, if you commute to school from another community). In this case, you need to register and cast your ballot in your home district. If you are confused about how to vote in your home district, an ambassador from Warhawks Votes will be happy to walk you through the process.
So, how do I register?
The easiest way is to register during the early registration period, by October 14, 2014. Just look for a representative from Whitewater Student Government or the League of Women Voters, who will be registering students to vote from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. every Monday-Thursday in the James R. Connor University Center. You'll need to either (a) know the last four digits of your social security number, or (b) bring a valid Wisconsin Driver License or Wisconsin ID Card.
If you register after October 14, including on Election Day, you will need to bring two things with you:
- A Wisconsin Driver License or Wisconsin ID Card. (If you do not have this, you can still register on Election Day -- you just need to know the last four digits of your Social Security number).
- Proof of residence. The easiest way to do this is by logging in to WINS and printing your Enrollment Verification form (instructions below). Print this and bring it with you when you register. Other options for showing proof of residence are listed below.
How to print your Enrollment Verification Form
- Log in to WINS
- Select Self Service
- Select Student Center
- Under the Academics section, select My Academics
- Select UW-W Enrollment Verification
- Select Print an Enrollment Verification form
- Verify that all information is correct
- If correct, print. If information needs to be updated to your current residence, update it and then print
Acceptable documents for proof of residence
(all must include a current Whitewater address)
- UW-Whitewater Enrollment Verification form
- Current residential lease
- A gas, credit card, electric or telephone statement (utility bill) that includes your name and address within 90 days of the election at your Whitewater address
- A bank statement or paycheck with your name and address on it
- A check or other document issued by a unit of government
- A real estate tax bill or receipt for the current year or year preceding the election date for the property where you live
Where do I go to vote?
The answer to this question depends on where you live, but for most students (including anyone who lives in the Residence Halls) the polling location is the University Center Hamilton Room. If you live off campus, you can easily check your polling location at the Government Accountability Board website.
What do I need to bring with me to vote? Do I need a photo ID?
On Oct. 9, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered that Wisconsin's photo ID requirement will not be in effect for the Nov. 4, 2014 election. If you are already registered, all you need to bring to the polls is yourself.

Public colleges -- flagship and 2-year alike -- spend hefty sums on aid to students without financial need, College Board finds.
September 12, 2006
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- On this point few people familiar with the state of American higher education can disagree: The country is not doing a good job educating students from low-income families now, and with the number of low-income Americans poised to grow, that problem is poised to become much more dire.

Harvard University is eliminating early admissions next year and shifting to a single application deadline of January 1 for undergraduates. The move comes after several years in which many education experts said that early admissions programs favor wealthy applicants, who are more likely to be able to figure out their first choice early in the process and who may not need to compare aid packages among institutions.

Egyptian stock market drops dramatically after reopening
This final note today. If you thought all the ups and downs of the Dow Jones the past couple of weeks have been wrenching, be glad you're not in Cairo.
The Egyptian stock exchange opened today after a two-month hiatus for a change of government. Didn't take long for investors to let their feelings be known. The benchmark index fell basically 1 percent a second the first 10 seconds the exchange was open. Off 9 percent at the close.
Now that's volatility.

On the back of a turbulent week – both on and off the pitch – Burnley travel down to the capital tomorrow to take on in-form Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Burnley v Crystal Palace
3.00pm – Selhurst Park – nPower Championship
Referee: Roger East [34 Yellows – 2 Reds]
Surrendering leads in our past two fixtures could force Eddie Howe to tinker with his starting line up in the hope of shoring up our leaky defence.
Eddie will be hoping he can call upon Jason Shackell who has recently been sidelined with a knee injury and the captain will once again face a late fitness test.
Fellow centre-back Michael Duff is expected to miss out with a knee injury picked up during Tuesday's game meaning Joseph Mills could come back in with Ben Mee moving inside.
Danny Ings is still a few weeks away from a realistic return to first team action.
Palace should have Kagisho Dikgacoi available for selection after the South African international was rested midweek in an attempt to fully recover from a slight muscle strain.
Peter Ramage and Danny Gabbidon are both expected to miss out as they try to regain match fitness while fellow defender Paddy McCarthy is a long-term absentee.
Manager: Dougie Freedman
Dougie Freedman is already embedded in Palace folklore after scoring over 100 goals during his ten year playing career with the Eagles. The legendary striker took over the Palace reigns from George Burley in 2011 and helped steer the club clear of relegation. Last season's impressive run to the Carling Cup semi-finals – despite being on a limited budget – has shown that the Scotsman has the required skills to help the club progress.
Form: WDWWW
Despite starting sluggishly, Palace have since steadily begun to build some momentum in recent weeks and come into this game as the Championship's in-form team. The Eagles have impressively picked up maximum points against Bolton, Charlton and more recently Cardiff – despite trailing 2-0. Tuesday's victory over Wolves at Molineux extended Palace's unbeaten run to six games and helped them rise to seventh in the table.
Dangerman: Wilfried Zaha
Highly rated Wilfried Zaha will provide the main threat for Palace tomorrow as the winger looks to build on his impressive early season form. The England Under-21 international's blistering pace and tricky footwork has constantly troubled Championship defences and as a result earned several admiring glances from top-flight scouts. For now at least though, Zaha remains Freedman's most prized possession as the Ivorian-born forward looks to hone his skills at Selhurst Park.
Just For Fun
Did You Know?
Surprisingly, Palace haven't always played in the blue and red stripes affiliated with the club today. It was former manager Malcolm Allison's desire for a Barcelona style kit and a Benfica style badge which led to a total re-branding of the club in 1973.

Many of you ask, "What good can I do?" But take a look at this personal story of saving a life…
Greetings Penn College Community. For all who continue to faithfully donate blood, I thank you. For those that are contemplating, I urge you to help out. If you have ever wondered where your blood goes, I can tell you that some of your blood goes to places like Children's Hospital of Philadelphia where my son has been treated these past months for Liver Cancer. Over the past several months, Spencer has received blood transfusions 7 different times. Without the blood he received from donors like you, he would never have made it this far. During his recent surgery he received 3 units of blood before, during, and after. In addition to whole blood, Spencer has received blood products to help keep his counts at safe levels. On behalf of my family, I thank you for donating blood today.
Gratefully Yours,
Matt Branca
Director of the College Store
The Red Cross believes "the College Community is always a supportive and generous group that consistently has donors numbering 150-200. Penn College is the largest single contributor to the Red Cross in Tioga, Clinton, and Lycoming County."

The proposed bet between Julian Simon, Paul Ehrlich, and Stephen Schneider (Comment and This Week, 3 June) fills me with a sense of dejection.
The choosing of statistical trends to prove or disprove world doom is an extremely dubious method. Effectively if they wanted to, they could prove any scenario by being carefully selective in the trends they choose. The very fact that they cannot decide on the trends leads me to believe that neither party is really sure of what will happen. But then, who is?
Looking at the arguments it seems that Simon is particularly at fault in his conjecture that economic expansion could continue indefinitely. The economic system is simply a subsystem of the environmental system (a fact long recognised by environmental economists); the latter constrains the former.
It seems therefore that the issue at hand is that of the quality of development rather than quantity. This, ...

LONDON ——The Olympic torch came to Brixton on Thursday, and so did Amy Cohen.
She lived in the South London district until recently, a job change and the continuing financial crisis sending her to live back home with her parents at age 34. Among the throngs who gathered to cheer the torch onward to its final destination, lighting the caldron to open the 2012 Games Friday night, Cohen was nothing if not characteristically British in her ambivalence when it comes to the approaching Games.
"First of all, it's typically English to complain and look for the negatives," Cohen said as she prepared to do just that. "I travel a lot on the Tube and it's bad enough and it's going to get worse."
As the UK welcomes the world's greatest athletes to town, they are also bracing for expected transit, security and, of course, weather woes. Some are nearly cheery, and certainly self-aware, of a certain propensity to take a global athletic spectacle and reduce it to personal inconvenience if not utter shambles.
If this was already part of the national character, the final run-up to the Games has served as something of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
First among equals in the shambles department has been security — or, at least, the private security company G4S, which conceded earlier this month that it would not be able to come up with the 10,400 bodies it was contracted to provide for the Olympics and subsequent Paralympics. Cue the summoning of officials before Parliament for some verbal slapping and a call-up of British troops to make up the shortfall, nevermind that some had just returned from tours in Afghanistan.
Then, there has been the growing fear of how regular, working Londoners would get about their business as an estimated 500,000 visitors descend on their already congested city. Tensions have been brewing over the 30 miles of lanes that have been set aside for officials — and in the interest of full disclosure, the media — to make swift passage to Olympic venues.
The Olympics-only lanes opened Wednesday, with official vehicles, bearing the magenta London 2012 logo, breezing by commuters who no doubt were steaming in slow and at times standstill lanes. The famously well-mannered London cabbies have been infuriated, staging a protest in which one driver jumped into the Thames River off the Tower Bridge from which hang giant Olympic rings.
Another day, another shambles: On Wednesday, the South Korean flag was shown on a video screen at a women's football match rather than the actual banner of the North Korean team that was playing. Diplomatic shambles. On Thursday, there was U.S. presidential candidate — and former head of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics — Mitt Romney saying there were a few "disconcerting" things about London's preparations. And not to be outdone, a Democratic superPAC had to pull a campaign ad using Olympics imagery against Romney. Political shambles.
There have been a range of responses. Lord Sebastian Coe, the four-time Olympic medalist who became chairman of the London Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games, or LOCOG, dismissed much of it as so much carping.
"The sort of complaining in the two-week lead-up to an Olympic Games is like a Naval captain complaining about the ocean," Coe told the Chicago Tribune in an interview this week. "It is what it is. Everything becomes an Olympic-related story. And that is understandable. Neither am I sanguine or cavalier about the public attitudes."
Prime Minister David Cameron on Thursday addressed the issues as well at a press conference at Olympic Park. Re the flag fiasco: "It was an honest mistake, an apology has been made. ... We shouldn't over-inflate this episode. It was unfortunate and we will leave it at that." The Romney disparagement: "This is a time of economic difficulty for the UK but look at what we are capable of achieving as a nation. Even at a difficult economic time look at this park that has been built from scratch in seven years."
As for the weather, this summer has been inordinantly wet, even by British standards. This week, the sun shone warmly over London, lightening the mood, but not for long — either climatically or psychologically it seems.
Forecasters are predicting the return of the rains on Friday.
"And then it will rain for the rest of our lives," Heath Gardiner said rather happily for so downcast a forecast. "Expect the worst and you'll never be surprised."
Gardiner, 42, joined a much more upbeat crowd for their fleeting glimpse of the torch, on the 69th day of its 70-day journey to the stadium. He came not so much to praise the Games, but to ditch the office.
"The reason we're here is we work two minutes from here and it was sit at our desks or come here," said Gardiner, who owns a company called Polestars, which runs hen parties. (Translation: bachelorette parties.)
Laura Hughes, 22, who does marketing and public relations for the company, said the lavishly budgeted Games couldn't come at a worse time as Brits have faced layoffs and cutbacks during the global recession.

Vive la France! Instead of storming a Parisian prison, march into that kitchen and get cooking.
The glorious foundations of classic French cuisine--butter, eggs and cream--are shown to their best advantage in these desserts.
During the Revolution, chefs--who had cooked for the nobility--found themselves out of work. They were forced to open public restaurants, and the fine art of dining was born.
With French food, wine is a must. On hot summer nights, lightly chilled white and rosé wines are perfect choices for watching the Bastille Day fireworks! To learn more about wine and food pairings and French wine, see our wine articles.
July 14th is the French national holiday, la Fête du 14 juillet. It commemorates the storming of the Bastille prison in 1789, an act of open rebellion against the monarchy that is considered the flashpoint of the French Revolution.
And Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner: cook up a feast worthy of King Louis XVI, but attainable to everyone of course! Start the day off right with crêpes, both savory and sweet, and café au lait, coffee with hot milk.
For lunch or a light supper, serve Quiche Alsacienne (the traditional Quiche Lorraine with onion), a green salad, and dry white wine, such as an Alsatian Riesling. Or make simple, classic sandwiches: crusty baguettes spread with sweet butter and thinly sliced ham.
For tips on shaping and baking baguettes and other French breads, see our Advice articles.
Start dinner off with a clear hot soup, like consommé or onion, or a rich cold soup such as vichyssoise. (Although an American invention, it was created by a French chef, perfect for an multicultural Bastille Day celebration.) A main-dish salad can complete the meal--and ensures everyone saves room for dessert!
Check out our collection of almost 200 grilled burger recipes.
A cookout isn't complete without a big bowl of potato salad. We have hundreds for you.

Carnival-goers took pleasure in the spectacular folk song, dance, instrumental and acrobatic performances given by the Hunan Arts Troupe. Demonstrations of Chinese folk craft such as Hunan's palm weaving, "nuo" masks, Tantou New Year woodprints and Xiangxi Miao painting, as well as Guangdong's clay sculpture and red clay pots, were equally well received.
Revolving around the theme of "Beauty of Tradition", the carnival also featured Chinese instrumental music, a parade of floats, lion dance, Chinese stage arts and traditional puppet shows. Splendid lanterns displaying farm life and folk toys became popular spots for photo-taking.
Spectacular lanterns are also on display at Victoria Park, such as those in the "Lantern Wonderland" organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board. The Hong Kong Heritage Museum is also presenting at Victoria Park a traditional hand-made mega-size lantern in the shape of a lotus dragon soaring and dancing in the air. At Tai Po Waterfront Park, the lantern installations of "Legend Wonderland" take visitors on a lively journey embracing colourful lanterns originating from renowned Eastern and Western legends. The lantern displays at the three venues are open to the public until October 2.
The LCSD will also hold lantern carnivals at Tai Po Waterfront Park tomorrow (September 29) and at Victoria Park on Sunday (September 30). Details of the carnivals are as follows:

Let's just get one thing straight here: The limestone cave that was recently discovered by a group of Iranian cavers near Mehriz, Yazd, in central Iran, is absolutely ginormous. Measured at 1,263 feet by 869 feet, and 330 feet high, the cavern covers 81,000 square meters, or 20 acres, and has been confirmed as the world's fourth-largest cave. Ghar-e-Dosar, as it's called, was discovered some time ago, but the team of eight returned in February 2012 to measure it and just completed its calculations.
The room sits pretty close to the surface, too, giving ready access for Iranian raves or subterranean house parties — just 130 feet down via corkscrewing entrance. And how does Ghar-e-Dosar stack up against the competition? It's about half the size of Sarawak Chamber in Malaysia, which is 163,000 square meters. Via Iranian Cavers and Caver Bob.

Demond Campbell is the Executive Vice President and Co-Founder of Black Onyx World LLC. He has a very strong passion for music. His love for music started back in high school where he would compete with friends and school mates to see who could write the better song. Demond recently blended his passion for music and his love for natural beauty. From this came the idea of writing a song which speaks about the beauty of natural hair and how pleasing it is to stay true to your God-given beauty. The creation of this song along with the many things he and his wife are doing, all lead to one goal. Demond states "My ultimate goal at hand is to help people to see the beauty of accepting their natural self. Accepting you and your uniqueness, rather than assimilating to society's idea of beauty. I want people to listen to the song "I'M NATURAL" they feel free enough to celebrate, sing out loud, and express how proud they are of their natural hair."
"Alikay Naturals is the first step in regaining your natural beauty… So why not start now!!!!"

Scale the heights of culinary pleasure with today's Groupon from Tosca's Italian Restaurant. Choose from the following options:• £24 for a three course Italian meal for two people with a glass of wine each (Up to 61% off)
• £48 for a three course meal for four people with a glass of wine each (Up to 61% off)
A stylish, newly-refurbished eatery located near The Mayflower Theatre, Tosca's is dedicated to filling bellies with bellisimo servings of authentic Italian fare. The extensive menu boasts a plethora of pizzas and pastas, which sit alongside seafood, meat and vegetarian dishes and a selection of home-made desserts. The freshly-prepared meals are accompanied by a lengthy and aromatic wine list, which can accompany flavours of the old country, or be savoured by itself in the adjoining wine bar.
Each diner can choose a starter, main course, and dessert from Tosca's flavoursome à la carte menu with meals accompanied by a glass of wine. The choice of starters includes steamed Scottish mussels in a rich tomato and mild chili sauce (£7.85) or Parma ham and salami on rocket with oven roasted red peppers (£7.75).

Tosca's Italian Restaurant is rated a generous portion of 4.5/5 by TripAdvisors, making it one of the top 25 restaurants in Southampton.
I visited Tosca'a with my partner for a nice romantic meal. The food was lovely, really generous portions. If you have room for desert [sic], the banoffee pie and cheese cake are amazing! Add in some really friendly staff and a nice atmosphere, perfect.
– flicky123, TripAdvisor, February 2012
The waiter designated to our table was funny without being too forward or over friendly, the balance was excellent.... And so was the food. Everyone [sic] of us cleared our plates on the starters and the main courses (ranging from fishcakes to stuffed mushrooms, and carbonara to lam [sic]) . The food was delicous, and I can honestly say some of the best food I have tasted in a long time.

More than just spin
Today's Financial Times includes a brilliant good news article about the PR industry. The article "A good PR consultant is worth the money" demonstrates the real investment and return that we can offer clients and why even the best in-house PR team can derive value from external consultants and agencies. I was delighted to see the comments "the industry has moved on from the early days of spin to embrace communications with investors, regulators, politicians and other discreet audiences". The notion of spin and spin doctors, which became an all too fashionable phrase under New Labour, is still a stigma that is often attached to our industry. We need to continue to educate clients and investors about the real opportunities and gains that PR provides and escape the notion of spin once and for all! PR consultants and agencies inject new ideas, new angles and fresh thinking into their client's business and their strategies, and should be part of the ongoing strategic direction of a brand.
When it comes to digital, it's certainly true we have gained more favourably out of the digital revolution than many other sections of the marketing mix, but I don't think we have recognised its full potential – especially in the healthcare sector. Digital is more than a neat tactical add-on to a communications programme, for some brands it is a strategic imperative and needs to be treated as a standalone capability that offers real value in its own right. So let's not rest on our laurels on reading this today

Located in an old residential home in Shioya Tarumi-ku Kobe, Japan, the small home you see above is a great example of what innovation can do. Designed Endo Shuhei Architects the house stands out from the crowd thanks to its roof, which certainly is something you ain't going to see every day. Facing the sea, the thin house was forced to use a triangular roof because of its site, with those steep slopes. And I must say they managed to maximize space with a brilliant idea. It's like doing something out of what seems like nothing, and the Japanese seem to be doing good on that topic. – via
3 comments
I`m guessing the bedroom/bathroom/toilet are downstairs!
Nice house.
[…] Rooftecture in Japan […]
The closing paragraph tells it all in my opinion. I have to say that I agree with it, and essentially the most fantastic factor about it is that you left it open ended…this reveals that you're prepared to draw in new and completely different opinions and that you're ultimately very interested to see folks getting involved within the subject. So, any different opinions?

Mainland troupe presents Xiqin opera
Performances by the Haifeng Xiqin Operatic Troupe of Guangdong, which will stage three performances in August, will bring local audiences the unique artistic features of some ancient operatic genres rarely seen in Hong Kong. The performances form the second programme of the "Chinese Operas with an Ancient Lineage" series.
Comprising excerpts from Xiqin opera and the award-winning "Execution of Zheng En", the performances, accompanied with simplified surtitles in English, will be held at the Theatre, Sai Wan Ho Civic Centre from August 3 to 5. Details are as follows:
August 3 (Friday) 7.30pm
Excerpts – "Liu Xi Chastising His Sons"; "Bidding Farewell on the Boats"; "Trial by the Living and the Dead" from "The Trial of Guo Huai"; "The Picture that Tells It All" from "The Orphan of the Zhao's"
August 4 (Saturday) 7.30pm
Excerpts – "Murder at the Temple" from "Qin Xianglian"; "Sent to Marry a Barbarian" from "Farewell at Chongtai"; "A Tearful Revelation at the Grave" from "Zhou Ren Presenting His Sworn Brother's Wife"; "Xue Rengui Returning to the Kiln He Once Called Home"; "Filing Four Petitions"
August 5 (Sunday) 7.30pm
"The Execution of Zheng En"
Originating as a regional operatic style in Gansu and brought to Haifeng in Guangdong during the Ming dynasty, Xiqin opera evolved with the local culture and customs to become a unique operatic genre in early Qing dynasty. The stock repertory consists of more than 1,000 plays of various themes, styles and lengths.
For generations, many outstanding artists of the Haifeng Xiqin Operatic Troupe of Guangdong have contributed to the building of the stock repertory and are dedicated to grooming young artists. The number of performances has grown from a handful in the past to more than 200 a year nowadays. The artists and the troupe have also won many awards for outstanding performance and repertoire at major showcases and competitions. In 2005, the troupe was designated by the State Council as a "national intangible cultural heritage".
Tickets priced at $100, $160 and $240 are now available at URBTIX outlets, while senior citizens, people with disabilities, full-time students and Comprehensive Social Security Assistance recipients can have 50% off (Limited quotas for students and CSSA recipients on a first-come, first-served basis).

Arbiter of Cultural Traditions is a 401c3 non-profit arts organization founded in 2002 as a means to continue the work of the former Arbiter Recording Company by saving performances of musicians whose work embodies our classical music at its height. Our efforts are critical as the aging survivors of past traditions are not long for this world and decaying media threatens to lose its sounds: our cultural heritage often hangs by a thread. Western classical musicians we have saved such as as Roman Totenberg, Mieczyslaw Horszowski and Ignace Tiegerman played at the highest musical level of their time, of any time. We spare no effort to locate such music-making wherever it survives.
World Arbiter seeks authentic traditional music from cultures beyond Western European classical music. The late Teresa Sterne who created Nonesuch's legendary Explorer series was our guiding light in the beginning. Sterne personally intervened to sharpen and define our methodology. Our vital examples document traditions with scholarly texts to serve as a musical guide and reference work. Multimedia CD projects go beyond music with extensive PDF and video files when placed in a computer.
After a pause we have resumed offering downloads through internet sources. Some CDs contain bonus tracks, many of which were previously unpublished. All are available only as downloads; many CDs also have been completely remastered with new software provided to our studio through a grant. All discs and bonus tracks are listed below in the catalog.
