		NEW YORK -- The Republican National Convention opens Monday night with welcoming remarks from Mayor Michael Bloomberg, one of the party's few big-city mayors and a leading moderate whose support for gay marriage, abortion rights, and embryonic stem cell research is way out of step with his party's conservative mainstream.
		So Bloomberg, who worked hard to bring the Republicans to New York City for the first time, plans to say his piece and then skip the rest of the convention.
		Even Bloomberg's critics say the mayor has kept a healthy distance from the president and his own party, but wonder if it will be possible to continue to do so during and after the convention.

		Although private foundations are required by law to spend at least 5 percent of their assets on grantmaking activities each year, a spokesman for the mayor said the foundation was not obligated to make any grants in 2002 because it had far exceeded the payout requirement in previous years.
