Application June 22, 1950, Serial No. 169,711 2 Claims. (01. 192-215) This invention relates to electromagnetic apparatus for controlling the relative rotation of two members,
may be usedfor long periods of time without destruction or deteriorationof such .coil windings.
A further object of, the inventionis to provide novel and improved apparatus-of the character described' embodying a rotor and wherein an electromagnetic means is provided for enabling "the creation of a magnetic field through which a rotor is arranged' to be rotated. The
electromagnetic means is mounted to surround the rotor and is separated therefrom by a housing enclosing a relatively large number of small magnetizable members, and preferably small particles, a suitable vehicle, as will be described, whereby during the operation of the apparatus the relative movementof therotor. with'respect to the (surrounding electromagnet may be controlled by the magnetization of the small members or particles while maintaining the members or particles and vehicle out of contact with the windings of theelectromagnet.
in its broader aspects the invention may be used as a brake or a clutch. 1 7
With these general objects in view and such others as may hereinafter appear, the invention consists in the apparatus for controlling the relative rotation of two members, and more particularly to the various structures of electromagnetic brake or clutch hereinafter described and particularly defined in the claims at the end of this specification. p
In the drawings, Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate in end elevation and vertical section respectively one form of electromagnetic brake embodying the invention;. Fig. 3 is-a vertical sectional view of a modified form of an eletromagnetic brake embodying theinvention; and Figs. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are vertical sectional views illustrating different forms of electromagnetic brakes or clutches embodying the invention. u r
In general the present invention contemplates an electromagnetic apparatus which may in its broader aspects be used as either aclutch or a brake mechanism wherein the relative rotation of arotor with respect to an electromagnet is, in accordance with the present invention, controlled by a relatively large number of magnetizable particles enclosed'within a housing to be maintained out of contact with the windings of the electromagnet and which are arranged when magnetized to assume a position to frictionally engage or connect the rotor and electromagnet functioning either as a-clutch between the two or nited States Patent illustration the invention has been illustrated in various embodiments of an electromagnetic brake.
Referring now to the drawings, in the embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, the present electromagnetic brake includes a housing 10 formed by two end plates 12, 14 and a cylindrical body portion 16 having the ends thereof set into circular grooves in the adjacent faces of the end plates 12, 14, the whole being secured together by bolts 13 and nuts 20 as shown. The housing 10 is arranged to enclose the coil windings 18 of an electromagnet, and as illustrated in Fig. 2, such windings 18 are mounted on a metal spool-like support 21 which is welded or otherwise secured to the body 16 of the housing to form within the spool two cylindrical.
secured thereon, one disposed in each of the end chambers 22, 24 as shown in Fig. 2, and the two end chambers and the connecting intermediate chamber 26 are filled with a large number of relatively small magnetizable mernbers which may vary in size, depending upon the use to which the apparatus is to be put, from a powder to a finely divided metal particle up to preformed metal members the size of small balls. These relatively small magnetizable members may be suspended in air or other gaseous mediums, or they may be suspended in oil, or in liquids such as silicons. size that they settle from the vehicle when not magnetized, or they may be in such a fine state of subdivision that with proper emulsifying agents they may be suspended in the vehicle, such as in oil or in silicons.
In operation when power is applied to the rotor 30 and until electrical energy is supplied to the electromagnet through the leads 27, the rotor rotates freely in' the ball bearings, and the members or particles freely move with relation to one another, offering minimum frictional resistance to the rotation of the rotor. the coil is energized by electrical energy supplied through the leads 27 an electromagnetic field is set up, which penetrates through the rotatable magnetizable disks 40 and returns through the magnetic short circuit presented by the rest of the housing It The lines of force emanating in this closed electromagnetic circuit magnetize the small members or particles within the chambers 22, 24, 26, which lose, while magnetized, their ease of motion one on the other, and as a result become oriented, due
to their magnetization, so that the vehicle and mass of particles become relatively rigid operating to exert a maximum frictional resistance to the rotation of the rotor, and exerting a braking effect thereon.
In the event that'the coil of the electromagnet is rotated then the effect of the magnetization of the small members or particles within the chambers 22, 24, 26 is one of connecting together the rotor and the rotatable element of which the electromagnet fonns a part and thus efifectively clutching the rotor and such element together.
In Fig. 3 l have illustrated a modified form of the apparatus shown in Fig. 2 wherein the disks 40 take the form of tapered vanes providing increased strength at their base or central portions. Preferably the formation of the spool and the end plates will be such as to conform generally to the surfaces of the vanes and to provide They may be of such physical However, when the application of power thereto.
clearance for the liquid or fluid vehicle and the particles suspended therein around both sides and top of the vanes so that in operation when magnetized the mass may frictionally engage the maximum surface of the vanes. In Fig. 3 I have illustrated the vanes as provided with serrations 48 in which the semi-rigid mass of magnetized particles can congregate thereby enabling the mass to exert increased friction between the rotor and the static portionof the housing. These serrations may take various forms depending upon the type of particle suspended in the vehicle.
As illustrated in Figs. 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, various modified forms of braking mechanism are shown. In Fig. 4, 60 represents a core of a magnet of general U-shape or horseshoe shape, and a rotor 62 journalled in bearings 64 in a closed housing 66 is arranged to rotate a magnetizable disk 68 disposed within the housing. The housing may enclose or be filled with a suitable vehicle, as above described, containing small magnetizable members or particles, and the housing 66 and the disk 68 are arranged to have one Portion thereof disposed between the poles 70, 72 of the electromagnet 60 so that when electrical energy is supplied to the winding 74 of the magnet, the magnetic field set up operates to magnetize the particles and exert a braking effect upon the rotary motion of the disk 63 in a manner similar to that above described in connection with Figs. 1 and 2.
In Fig. 5 I have illustrated a further modified form of a braking mechanism wherein the electromagnet 79 is stationary and provided with an annular recess 80 and a central recess 82. The rotor comprises a cylindrical cup-shaped member 84 secured to a vertical axle 86 journalled in bearings 88'provided with a pulley 89 for A stationary housing 90 is mounted in any suitable manner and through which the axle 86 extends, suitable seals 92 being provided to retain within the housing the vehicle and suspended particles orsmall magnetizable members above referred to. The lower end of the axle may be mounted upon a ball bearing 96 and the axle further rotatably supported in a bearing 97 at the top of the magnet. The magnet is provided with the usual coils 98 now commonly employed in a so-called pot magnet. In the operation of the apparatus when the pot magnet is magnetized the magnetic field setup magnetizes the particles and orients them to exert the desired frictional resistance to the rotation of the rotor 84, the operation being in principle similar to that above described in connection with the apparatus shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
In- Fig. 6 I have illustrated a further modified form of a braking mechanism wherein the electromagnet is formed by winding the coil 100 around a central member 102 of an iron bar 104. The bar 164 is provided with an an-' nular chamber surrounding the coil, and the rotor 196 is journalled in suitable bearings 168 in a depending portion 11!) of a housing 111. The upper portion of the housing is in the form of a fiat, cylindrical member, which is disposed immediately below the bar 104 as shown in Fig. 6, and a magnetizable disk 112 is mounted on the upper end of the rotor shaft 106 to rotate therewith. The upper chamber of the housing is filled with the magnetizable particles, and the operation of the apparatus follows the. operation above described in connection with the previous embodiments of the invention. When the magnetic field is produced by energizing the coil 100, the particles exert a definite braking effect upon the rotating disk 112.
In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in Fig. 7 the rotor is formed by the tube upon one end of which a pulley 122 is mounted. The interior of the tubular rotor 120 is provided with end plates 124 welded or otherwise secured to the inner surface of the tube 120, and the end plates are provided with bearings 126 through which an axle 128 extends so as to rotatably support the rotor. The axle is provided with a magnetizable drum 4 130 disposed within the housing as shown in Fig. 7. The interior of the housing is filled with the relatively small magnetizable members and preferably particles, and the latter may be suspended infa suitable vehicle as above described in connection with the other embodiments of the invention. The axle 128 is stationary and secured to uprights of a suitable supporting base 132, and the winding coils 134 of the electromagnet are disposed about and spaced from the rotor so' that when energized the electromagnet Produces a magnetic field through which the rotor and the magnetizable members therein are rotated, with the effect that the orientation of the small particles exerts a braking effect on the rotor in a similar manner as above described in connection with the other embodiments of the invention. In Fig. 8 I have illustrated .a structure similar to that in Fig. 7 with the exception that the drum 130 is rotated by the pulley 122 mounted on the axle thereof and with the further exception that the housing 120 is stationary. The winding coils of the magnet may be provided with cooling coils 136 through which a cooling medium may be caused to flow to assist in dissipating the heat.
In Fig. 9 I have illustrated still another modification of the present invention and which is similar in structure to that shown in Fig. 7 with the exception that the electromagnet 150. is mounted to rotate with a spool 152, and the interior of the spool constitutes the housing for the reception of the finely divided particles or small magn'etizable members together with the vehicle in which they particles or members may be suspended. A stationary drum 154 is mounted on an axle 156, and suitable bearings are provided. to journal the spool structure 152 on the axle. In this structure slip rings indicated generally at 16.0 are provided for energizing the rotating coil of the electromagnet.
It is preferred to form the magnetizable members of a material permitting rapid tie-magnetization, preferably particles of hy-mu metal or similar metal which has minimum magnetic remanence.
A plurality of units similar to those shown in Figs. 2 and 3 maybe arranged in series to operate upon an elongated shaft having a plurality of disks and end plates to produce a powerful braking or clutching unit. Such elongated series arrangement, utilizing relatively small coils and disks, and distributing the power application over a relatively long unit is particularly conducive to dissipation of heat. In. a preferred construction of a series arrangemenh'the relative polarities of the electric coils at the ends facing the rotary disks may be opposite so that a continuous magnetic field may be achieved, although in practice, other arrangements of the coils are contemplated, such as having the coils opposite each O her, or having a" phase diiference between the coils to ui par icu ar pro lemsv which may arise- It is also contemplated to provide for adjustment of either a permanent or an electromagnet such as illustrated in Figs. 4 and 6 wherein the, magnets may be moved into and out of the field. In su h modification, a fixed magnet and a movable magnet may beused together to permit mechanical adjustment offthe braking or clutching action without changing the electric current.
In addition to the serrations 48 formed in the rotary disks 4!), serrations may also be formed on the inside of the spool 21 or on the inner surfaces of the end plates 12, 14, as indicated at 49, in which the mass of magnetized particles may congregate to enable the mass to exert increased friction between the rotor and the static portion Of the housing, The metal. particles, spheres, etc., referred to are held in a protective medium so as to guard them against oxidation and its resulting variation of surface friction. If held in gaseous suspension, I use hydr gen (vs/high s bo h agood con uctor o heat and a chemically r ducing at osphe e) It hel in a fl I use. preferably diethylene glycol or similar compound toather with inhibitorsv of the type used in automobile radiators as antifreezes. My reason for this is that diethylene glycol and equivalent fluids have essentially constant viscosity over a wide operating range; will forestall the rusting of the iron spheres and cylinders; will not freeze or boil off at customary operating temperatures.
From the above description it will be observed that in the present apparatus either as a brake or as a clutch, the metal particles, together with the liquid vehicle, if any, in which they may be suspended are at all times prevented from contacting the windings of the electromagnet, thus contributing to the length of life of the apparatus. The various embodiments of the invention are economical to manufacture, efiicient in operation, and easy to assemble.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:
1. In an electromagnetic apparatus for controlling the relative rotation of two members, in combination, one
member comprising an electromagnet having its windings in the form of a hollow elongated coil, and means for supporting the electromagnet including a hollow spoollike fluid-tight metal housing forming a central chamber of relatively small diameter extending through the hollow portion of the coil and communicating end chambers of substantially, larger diameter disposed adjacent the ends of the coil and forming the rims of said spool-like housing, said coil being dispogsed between said rims and being of substantially the same outside diameter as 'said rims, said spool-like chamber enclosing a fluid vehicle 6 first member and for preventing leakage of the vehicle from the housing, and means for enabling relative rota- .tion to be imparted to said two members whereby when said magnet is deenergized said small magnetizable members are permitted to be moved freely with relation to one another upon said relative rotation with minimum friction, and when said magnet is energized the magnetic field causes orientation of said members and operates to restrain the same from being freely moved with relation to one another, and thereby causing some of them to frictionally engage said members.
2. An electromagnetic apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein the electromagnet and its supporting housing form the stator and wherein the second members forms the rotor.

CHICAGO - Look past the cheesy carbs and b-boy poses, this shiny mo-cap reboot of cartoon juggernaut "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" offers slick entertainment that makes for a welcome surprise for middle school fare. Proving that executive producer Michael Bay has both grown up but it still frightfully in tune with what jazzes teens, this surprise box office hit is indeed a nice slice of a blockbuster spectacle, whether or not a viewer cares about the turtles or not.

Theater Review: 'Shrek the Musical' Still in the SwampSubmitted by Alissa Norby on July 27, 2010 - 5:01pm
CHICAGO – "Fairytales should really be updated," muses the puckish Shrek during a final plea for the affections of a reluctant princess. It is one of those startlingly honest and quietly irreverent insights that "Shrek the Musical" is all too wary to boast, but is a welcome dagger into the cavalcade of childhood morality tales that, year after year, infiltrate the bulk of shooting star wishes and Barbie dream-houses.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

Harvey Weinstein Brings Stars to White House for Film Symposium
Harvey Weinstein teamed up with First Lady Michelle Obama for a film symposium held Friday at the White House.
Weinstein, a key fundraiser for President Obama, organized the symposium aimed at teaching students about the film industry, The Hill reports.
"I never let anybody tell me no, even the White House," he told the students during a panel discussion hosted by CBS' Gayle King.
PHOTOS: 10 Presidents and Their Famous Hollywood Pals
Weinstein said discussions to bring Hollywood talent to the White House began around the time he arranged for Obama to announce the best picture winner at the Academy Awards.
The first lady hosted the event, which also included insights from Whoopi Goldberg, Blake Lively, composer Alan Menken and Naomie Harris, who was also on hand Thursday for a White House screening of her Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.
PHOTOS: 20 Biggest Political Players in Hollywood
Menken, who composed music for Disney hits such as The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, played a medley of his compositions, turning lyrics from Beast into "Beauty and the Chief."
Obama later spoke, thanking Weinstein for organizing the event and encouraging students to stick with school.

The other evening my university's School of Public Health, which is happily intertwined with the CDC next door, honored my old friend Robert C. Bailey for his HIV/AIDS research in East Africa. The key was that he had been brought into global health in the mid-90s after a distinguished career in anthropology, in an Emory/CDC program designed to apply behavioral science expertise in the worldwide fight against disease.
Bob's introduction, by James Curran-longtime dean of the school and a leader in the fight against AIDS since 1981-reminded me that behavioral research did not always get the respect it now has in public health. It was the baffling emergence of that grave threat that made it clear that the future of health and illness would depend on behavior, and that global health warriors had to first of all win the fight for hearts and minds.
Of course, the Just-Say-No crowd were comfortable with one approach to behavior, and they gave AIDS sufferers the brush-off for years, blaming the victims. If only you were heterosexual and monogamous, they said, and didn't inject any illicit substance... Of course there was the matter of blood transfusions, and the occasional innocent, even Republican wife whose bad-acting husband brought it home to her.


text: Alias2 from Samsung have filtered in after yesterday's user manual leak, giving us a better idea of what the phone looks like; we still can't put our finger on what technology the keypad is using, but given that we've heard that it'll retain its layout with the battery out, we're starting to think that it might be segmented E Ink. Active matrix E Ink would've been ten times cooler, but we imagine it's not quite at the price point yet where it makes sense for a product in this range. Keep on keepin' on with the innovative stuff, though, guys -- just make sure it spends a little more time in the design department next time.


text: The Dewey Decimal System was created by Melville Dewey in 1876 What is the Dewey Decimal System? • A system to organize books on library shelves so that they are easily found when needed. • Decimal is a Latin word that means 10 • Melville Dewey decided that all knowledge would be described in 10 main sections How does the Dewey Decimal System Work? Think of it as a code that uses numbers to help you find the book you want. Each non-fiction book is put in a certain group and given a 3 digit number depending on the subject of the book. There are 10 basic Dewey sections or categories . The Dewey Decimal Classification System Each of the 10 Dewey categories is then divided into subsections. • For example 700 (Arts and recreation) is subdivided into the following subsections: • 710 Civic & landscape art • 720 Architecture • 730 Plastic arts, sculpture • 740 Drawing & decorative arts • 750 Painting & paintings (museums) • 760 Graphic arts, printmaking & prints, postage stamps • 770 Photography & photographs • 780 Music • 790 Recreational & performing arts What each number means? Let's look at the call number 743. The 7 is the first number which tells you which of the 10 main Dewey categories the book belongs to- Arts and Recreation. The 4 is the second number which tells you which of the subdivisions it belongs to- Drawing and decorative art. The 3 provides even more specific information about the subject matter-in this case it is a book about drawing a specific subject. 743 AME • This book has the call number 743 AME (AME stands for the first 3 letters of the author's last name-Ames) Do I have to memorize all the categories to locate the book I want? Absolutely not! That's why we have our new Catalog System which allows you to search by keyword and subject. In addition, the Dewey Decimal Numbers are labeled on the end of the shelves! What if I can not find the book even if I know the call number? Ask the librarian for help! That is why we are here!

Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens turnout in Annapolis was tremendous, drawing over 20,000 fans to a practice. Like Iverson said, we're talking about practice.
Some people would say Annapolis is Redskins country. Maybe it's split, but it's certainly not Ravens country like Baltimore and north. So to draw that many people is impressive. I wonder if Redskins fans would ever consider changing allegiances.
If you live in Anne Arundel county, the owner of the Ravens lives there too, and he is a much better owner than Dan Snyder. And, if you become a Ravens fan, just look at the track record. You have a better chance of supporting a winning team.
Just saying Redskins fans…..

Simplify Big Data Integration
Talend provides a powerful and versatile open source big data product that makes the job of working with big data technologies easy and helps drive and improve business performance, without the need for specialist knowledge or resources.
Big Data
What it DoesIntegration at Cluster Scale
Talend redefines the development skills needed for big data and facilitates the organization and orchestration required by these projects so that you can focus on the key question: "What use should we make of data, big and small, and how am I going to be the leader in using data to help my business?"
Talend's big data product combines big data components for MapReduce 2.0 (YARN), Hadoop, HBase, Hive, HCatalog, Oozie, Sqoop and Pig into a unified open source environment so you can quickly load, extract, transform and process large and diverse data sets from disparate systems.
How it WorksBig Data Without The Need To Write / Maintain Code
Ready to Use Big Data Connectors
Talend provides an easy-to-use graphical environment that allows developers to visually map big data sources and targets without the need to learn and write complicated code. Running 100% natively on Hadoop, Talend Big Data provides massive scalability. Once a big data connection is configured the underlying code is automatically generated and can be deployed remotely as a job that runs natively on your big data cluster - HDFS, Pig, HCatalog, HBase, Sqoop or Hive.
Big Data Distribution and Big Data Appliance Support
Talend's big data components have been tested and certified to work with leading big data Hadoop distributions, including Amazon EMR, Cloudera, IBM PureData, Hortonworks, MapR, Microsoft HDInsight, Pivotal HD, and SAP HANA. Talend provides out-of-the-box support for big data platforms from the leading appliance vendors including Greenplum/Pivotal, Netezza, Teradata, and Vertica.
Open Source
Using the Apache software license means developers can use the Studio without restrictions. As Talend's big data products rely on standard Hadoop APIs, users can easily migrate their data integration jobs between different Hadoop distributions without any concerns about underlying platform dependencies. Support for Apache Oozie is provided out-of-the-box, allowing operators to schedule their data jobs through open source software.
Pull Source Data from Anywhere Including NoSQL
With 800+ connectors, Talend integrates almost any data source so you can transform and integrate data in real-time or batch. Pre-built connectors for HBase, MongoDB,Cassandra, CouchDB, Couchbase, Neo4J and Riak speed development without requiring specific NoSQL knowledge. Talend big data components can be configured to bulk upload data to Hadoop or other big data appliance, either as a manual process, or an automatic schedule for incremental data updates.

The strategy for data quality with Big Data will depend on whether the application is mission-critical, whether regulatory compliance ramifications are involved, and the degree to which bad quality data will materially impact the business.

Kobe Bryant remains top selling NBA jersey in China
Sep 23, 2010, 12:05 PM EST
Kobe is big all over the globe.
That includes China, where for the fourth year in a row he tops the league in jersey sales, according to the league.
Rounding out the top five are LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Kevin Garnett, and Derrick Rose. The next five are Chris Paul, Paul Pierce, Deron Williams, Ray Allen and Kevin Durant.
This is the first time Yao Ming has not been in the top 10. He is coming off a season where he did not play due to his foot injury.
Kobe has a big presence in China, having made trips there in the summer for years now, promotional efforts with Nike. Kobe also has a separate charitable foundation he set up just to donate money to causes in China.
Plus, culturally, winning titles matters. It is what keeps Kobe ahead of LeBron in China. For now.
The NBA will be bringing its game to China for the first time this preseason, with Yao Ming and the Houston Rockets taking on the New Jersey Nets in Beijing on Oct. 13, then again at the Guangzhou International Sports Arena on Oct. 16.

Seriously SC400? I'm with LakerFan here, Anyways, Kobe is the real King of the NBA and deserves China's love. After all, The Chinese saw the talents of Kobe and how he brought Gold for the USA team. He's also doing the back to back thing, and he's been doing it for a long time. 14 years of NBA action and it looks like he can be the best at what he does for another 3 or 4 more years. Cheers to the NBA real King. Kobe.

I honestly think that Kobe will be better this year, and I hope he wins his 6 champs… I'm also from Cali and I got to tell you that even radio stations talk bad about Lebron, I did not care about him in the pass but the way he left cleveland was wrong there for I kind of hate him now, he broke the whole state heart. F U Lebron.

That's really lame that the Lakers won't be going to China to play a game instead of the Nets, means the Lakers will play their game in Europe. Considering how popular Kobe has been in China it's stupid the NBA didn't schedule the Lakers for a Chinese game. Still it's nice to see Kobe as the most popular NBA player in the most populous country in the world. The Chinese know that LeBoring James is nothing but the King of Choke and not championship material. Kobe Bryant is the greatest basketball player and the Repeat World Champion Lakers will Threepeat next June!

I NEED this…

"I've received this stickers in four days; although, I wasn't expecting them till a week or so. But love the shipping since it was fast. I'm going to use this as part of my daughter's 1st birthday favors and the quality and the way it looks is perfect!"
"I was able to personalize these gift tags w/ the full date of the shower and then used them as sticker's to make keepsake book marks for my sister's guests! (we did a book-themed party since we didn't know the baby's gender of the baby!) Everyone loved them. We also used the stickers as cupcake toppers! We stuck them on different colored cardstock and cut them out, leaving just about an 1/8 inch edge and stuck them in our cupcakes - perfect complimentary shower decorations! Oh - we changed the graphic from the heart to the question-mark so it would match the invitations. So simple to make that request and Tiny Prints called and sent proofs showing me what it would look like both ways. So professional and courteous. I will definitely order from them again!"
"We ordered these custom stickers as lunch bag sealers for our sons 1st birthday. They arrived super fast, and the quality is great. We've had so many compliments, and they added the perfect personalized touch to our sons superhero party."
"these were so cute, i just ordered the matching thank you cards for them. i personalized them with the child's name and just a cute quote and will use them to label school supplies, camp supplies, etc."
"The description says these are for "mother/daughter" occasions, but I thought it was cute for a big sister/little sister combo gift. We just welcomed our 2nd daughter, so I got these for the many family birthday parties to which both girls are invited. Everyone loves the visual of the big bird/ little bird."

June 1 (Bloomberg) -- Colombia President Juan Manuel Santos said the central bank risks stifling economic expansion if it doesn't hold the nation's benchmark rate at 4 percent.
Santos, who spoke to reporters in Bogota yesterday, said the bank should trust the government to produce strong economic growth with low inflation. The central bank increased the benchmark lending rate a quarter-point to 4 percent May 30 as bank lending and consumer spending fuels faster-than-expected growth.
"Inflation is a tax on the poor," said Santos, a former finance minister. "We ask the central bank to believe in the government's economic policy and its structural changes that will allow us to grow at fast rates with slow inflation.
"In my calculations, the board should reach 4 percent," said Santos. "It's a very respectful request."
The central bank expects gross domestic product this year to reach close to 5 percent. JPMorgan Chase & Co. earlier this month raised its 2011 economic growth forecast for Colombia to 4.9 percent, up from 4.5 percent, after the most recent retail sales and industrial production figures beat expectations.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. this year has raised its forecast to 5.5 percent from 4.6 percent and Morgan Stanley has raised its forecast for growth to 4.9 percent from 4.4 percent.
Finance Minister Juan Carlos Echeverry, president of the bank's seven-member board, said he would take Santos's proposal to the next monetary policy meeting scheduled for June 17.
Santos said that Moody's Investor Service's decision to raise Colombia's credit rating to investment grade "confirmed that the economic policy is serious and responsible."
Moody's upgraded Colombia today to Baa3, the lowest level of investment grade, from Ba1. The move puts Colombia's rating on par with Brazil, Peru and Panama. Standard & Poor's raised Colombia to investment grade two months ago.
'Difficult Position'
"These comments put the central bank in a difficult position," wrote Alberto Ramos, an economist with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in New York, in a research note yesterday.
"If the bank stops the rate hiking cycle in June it could be susceptible to the criticism that the decision was not borne out of straight technical analysis on the balance of risks to growth and inflation outlook but that it was rather a decision to accommodate the wishes of the government," Ramos wrote.

Surgeons at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Presbyterian Hospital said they have succeeded in using the Organ Care System, an organ preservation machine that allows donated lungs to be at normal body temperature hours prior to transplantation. This achievement is being touted as the first on the East Coast. UPMC is looking to enroll 10 patients in a clinical trial of the device, which works by providing donor organs with oxygen, blood and a special treatment solution while awaiting transplant.

the multitude of ancient documents bent on authoritarian rule of the people...also known as religious doctrines or texts...this moron has eluded to scrapping the documentation that opposed tyranny and further fails to mention that these ancient ancestors of ours happened to also believe (majority) in ancient texts that guided in part their dissemination of writings we hold as dear as religion. Go back to preaching your deluded theories to those who founded them...I'm sure you'd meet even greater confliction to your ramblings.

15 Spring Turkey Questions Answered By The Pros
By Scott Ellis
Spring gobbler season is now on the horizon and felt it was time to touch on some important questions that are asked frequently by turkey hunters across the nation. I have enlisted the assistance of two my friends Sadler McGraw and Chris Kirby to aid in answering the questions. We will all shed different light with our opinions on these commonly inquired about topics.
Sadler McGraw has established himself as one of the most prolific competition callers in the last decade. He is a member of the Woodhaven Custom Calls Sting Team since it's inception five years ago. His list of accolades includes, 14 Alabama state titles, Yellville National and Southern Open Champion. As well he has been runner up at the World, Grand Nationals, US Open and Grand America calling competitions. He is also no stranger to friction divisions winning the 2008 World, 2008 Yellville National and 2007 US Open. He has won or placed in over 50 contests, including owl hooting divisions.

"I always tell people I'm not a bookworm. I'm a book anaconda," John Judge says, as he turns sideways and carefully maneuvers his large frame down a narrow staircase into the main library of the Coalition on Political Assassinations, a nonprofit dedicated to researching the killings of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. Carved deep into a hill in Penn Branch, a quiet, leafy community in Southeast Washington, the room might otherwise be a basement, were the house not inhabited by a man who for the past 45 years has been obsessively reading and researching every facet of the Kennedy assassination.
He scans through hundreds of books, carefully pulling from the shelves some of the foundational texts of the assassination canon: Mark Lane's best-selling Rush to Judgment, the first book he ever read on the case, and Robert Groden and Harrison Edward Livingstone's High Treason: The Assassination of JFK & the Case for Conspiracy. Judge gestures to 26 hardcover volumes of the Warren Commission report, the official government investigation that fingered Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone gunman. On a shelf beside him sits a self-satirical bumper sticker: "Humpty Dumpty was pushed." Judge, who has wavy silver-white hair and a goatee that fans out beneath his chin, smirks, "I tell people you can call me a conspiracy theorist if you call everyone else a coincidence theorist."
He pauses and picks a collector's item from the stacks: one of the now out-of-print volumes of Penn Jones Jr.'s tome about a conspiracy to kill the president, Forgive My Grief. Jones was a Texas newspaperman and one of the original JFK assassination researchers. One year after the assassination, he came to the grassy knoll in Dealey Plaza, where some witnesses say they heard shots fired that day, to hold a moment of silence. Judge joined him in 1968 and continued the tradition every year, taking over the ceremonies when Jones grew ill.
This month marks the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's assassination. By the admission of most of the assassination researchers (they hate the term "conspiracy theorists"), it's also their last, best shot at reigniting a public debate about what really happened that day. "The 50th anniversary will really be one of the last opportunities to really get this out into the public domain," says James DiEugenio, cofounder of the Citizens for Truth About the Kennedy Assassination. "I really and truly believe that the Kennedy assassination was quite epochal; it had reverberations down to present day," he says. "What has happened over time is that cynicism and skepticism have seeped down into the public at large. It has caused a lot of serious problems about peoples' belief in government and has splintered our society."
Judge says, "We are passing into a post-historical era, and it probably is, maybe not the last gasp, but the largest last gasp of the issue." It's also the first year they won't get to be in the plaza on Nov. 22 at 12:30 p.m.
Dallas knows the world will be watching that day, and the city intends to be ready. "The international spotlight will shine intensely on our city, perhaps brighter than it has since that gut-wrenching day in 1963," Mayor Mike Rawlings said in an op-ed for The Dallas Morning News last week. So Rawlings, along with a committee of Dallas's best known Brahmins, civic leaders with deep ties to the city, have carefully planned an event they're calling "the 50th."
They don't intend to use the word assassination. The event "is all about acknowledging the life, legacy, and leadership of the 35th president, not the moment 50 years ago," says one of the press handlers helping with the ceremony. Historian David McCullough will read from Kennedy speeches, the U.S. Naval Academy Men's Glee Club will sing, religious leaders will offer prayers. A ceremonial flyover will take place, and church bells will ring throughout the city. Around 12:30 p.m., participants will observe a moment of silence. The only thing that will be missing are some of the people who have been coming to Dealey Plaza for decades. The city offered only 5,000 tickets, to be distributed through a lottery, and asked applicants to submit to a background check—meaning that most of the assassination researchers will be shut out. "We've been doing this for 49 years, and there's no reason to usurp it," Judge says. "We could have been accommodated, but we weren't—we think, on the basis of our message."
The stakes go beyond granting the conspiracists some measure of credibility. For the city, the anniversary may be its best chance to finally put one of the most painful periods in modern American history behind it, an opportunity to show that Dallas has moved beyond the image it cultivated in the assassination era as a polestar of political extremism. To understand the fight between the researchers and the city is to understand how Dealey Plaza became a symbolic battleground for a much larger war over the legacy of Dallas and of how history remembers what happened to JFK.
The Taint of History
The researchers haven't yet decided what they plan to do. One created a website called Occupy the Grassy Knoll, suggesting an act of civil disobedience to protest the curtailment of their First Amendment rights. (Judge expects 250 attendees for a conference this month in Dallas.) Brad Kizzia, an attorney who has provided counsel to Judge, says they're still considering whether to file a lawsuit. For COPA and the others, the city's actions are evidence that the Dallas old guard hasn't dealt with the wounds of its past. "If we cannot allow people to mention the assassination or what happened that day and what questions remain, if we have to go to these lengths to keep people from doing that on the 50th anniversary, then obviously we haven't confronted it, and we're not able to—at least the people who are running things have not and cannot," Kizzia says.

I looking for ancestors and descendents of a Levi Flora, b June 17, 1853 in Indiana, son of George and Mary (Butcher) Flora, natives of Kentucky and Tennessee. Levi had a brother, Ashby, born in 1858 in Indiana, and a sister Martha. Levi married Elma A. dexter, born May 7, 1857 at Titusville, PA. Their marriage was probably in Rice co., KS. Elma's parents had settled there in 1874 when Elma was about 17. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
