Sterling Golf ManagementRead MoreWith six distinct courses etched into the New England countryside, Sterling Golf Management promotes pin-hunting recreation for Boston-area golfers of all abilities. The longest and most difficult of the six, The Shattuck Golf Club's 18-hole course kicks off with a 409-yard par 4 where players hack their way toward a green that is visually wreathed by the rising red rocks of Mount Monadnock, setting the tone for a scenic, 6,764-yard round. Groves of trees ensconce the fairways and barter over carbon dioxide at Norwood Country Club's recently renovated course, a relatively flat layout characterized by smallish greens and flanked by a lighted driving range. The newest member to the Sterling Golf Management team is the Rockland course, where 18 par-3 holes wind between tall oaks for a picturesque par-54 round. Designed in 1921 in the Donald Ross tradition is the Maynard Golf Course, a picturesque par 70, 9-hole course with a full-service clubhouse. The same sylvan makeup returns at Newton Commonwealth's course, where lush tree lines cast shadows over a creek as it snakes across the fairways of seven holes. Rounding out the grassy sextet, Chelmsford's nine-hole course takes golfers careening across 2,467 yards of narrow fairways, placing straight drives or skilled golf ball pilots at a premium.66 Park RdChelmsford, MA US

Sunshine And Happy Times is a watercolor painting of a cheerful window still life scene that features a piano and violin. A happy ceramic couple is dancing atop some music books. A bouquet of roses in a crystal vase and half burned-down candles in crystal candlesticks suggest that yesterday was a special evening. A beating metronome suggests that love beats on. The whole scene is flooded with morning sunshine after a refreshing overnight rain shower still evident on the window pane.

My vibrant watercolors, acrylic and oil paintings cannot be labelled in only one category. My paintings reflect my life: enriched with excitement as well as quiet times.

Mary Jo Ola was at Henry Vilas Zoo Wednesday morning to share a preview of the new Arctic Passage that opens this weekend.
The Arctic Passage is the zoo's biggest renovation in its history. Crews broke ground on the project in March 2014. The passage spans nearly two acres of land and features environments for twin polar bears Sakari and Suri; and a pair of grizzly sisters known as the Grizzly Girls; and harbor seals.
A restaurant in the addition offers diners a look at the polar bears, who can also watch you have your meal.
For more information about the opening weekend event, visit vilaszoo.org/arcticpassagegrandopening.
Trivia night at Madison's Central Library will help raise money for Dane County libraries, according to a release.
The 4th annual Team Trivia Night Fundraiser is Saturday at 7 p.m. Doors at the central library at 201 W. Mifflin St. open at 5:30 p.m.
Entrance fees for teams are $250 ahead of time or $300 at the door, organizers said. Teams can be up to 10 people.
Teams should register online.
A free event at an east Madison park next week will offer information on star gazing.
The city of Madison said a Learn to Star Gaze workshop will be held at Reindahl Park from 7-8 p.m. Monday.
The workshop will be led by a UW Space Place specialist and will give all participants the chance to search the skies using powerful telescopes.
WATCH as News 3's Mary Jo Ola visits Brocach Irish Pub in Madison Tuesday morning to learn from one of the chefs about cooking an Irish feast for St. Patrick's Day.
Brocach has two Madison locations, one on the Capitol Square and another on Monroe Street.
Wheelhouse Studios on the UW campus is letting people use art to react to the police shooting of Tony Robinson.
It's community that's helping people cope with a death that's left an imprint with many.

There's no hibernating for Henry Vilas Zoo; the zoo is open 365 days a year and even in the middle of a Wisconsin winter, there are many reasons to take a stroll through the exhibits.
WATCH Leah Linscheid's report on winter-loving zoo critters.
Outside of the Marcus Point Theater on Madison's west side, Mary Jo Walters unloaded a piece of red poster board out of her trunk.
"The main thing is to show up at all. I think it's really important for us to go out into public and speak about women and violence," Walters said.
One hour before the first showing of "Fifty Shades of Grey," Walters set up with her sign.
"A ban of the movie would be great," Walters said.
Based on a sexually charged book, Walters said the plot of the erotic novel is more like a horror story than anything romantic. She said the violence and abuse portrayed in it doesn't empower women or portray an accurate depiction of love.
"I don't think it should be promoted as a love story that's seen as a gift basket for Valentine's Day," Walters said.
On the other side of town, Ellen Barnard runs a small shop filled with lingerie and other items meant to add to someone's sex life. She also lectures on the touchy topic.

Elizabeth Arden's apricot-hued cream is such a classic, we think it deserves a display in the Smithsonian. Developed in 1930 by the beauty maven herself, the award-winning formula enjoyed instant global success and has never gone out of style. The creamy, multi-purpose salve not only hydrates dry skin, it adds shine to lips and lids, tames unruly brows, conditions cuticles, and even soothes minor scrapes and sunburns.
This product came at the perfect time for my winter chapped skin. I use the skin protectant several times a day on my severely cracked knuckles and have seen significant improvement. The salve is a bit greasy at first but absorbs quickly. The only downside to this product is the extremely strong smell.
My husband doesn't use lotion, and his hands get so dry during the winter that they bleed. He used my sample one time and noticed an immediate improvement. It is very oily, but I only use it on my hands, elbows and feet just before bed, and after a few minutes it absorbs just fine, leaving my skin very soft.4
I didn't really like this product. That's not to say it is a bad product, it just doesn't work for me, and here's why. It's not really a cream, more like an ointment consistency. I put some on my hands which get pretty dry, and it was sort of sticky like neosporin, and it didn't smell "good", it smelled like Lanolin, which is one of the ingredients in it. I tried to wash it off after that, using soap and warm water, and my hands still smelled and felt like the cream. If you're looking for serious dry skin relief that lasts, I'm sure this would work, but it was too much for me.1

The interesting part of this request is that McD's and Coke
products would still be sold at the games. The London Assembly is only
targeting ads. They're relying on the logic that companies wouldn't be spending
millions of dollars on ads if they didn't have some effect on how people eat.
But the tricky part of this potential cut is that without McD's and Coca-Cola's
commercial spending, the Olympics would have a hard time getting enough cash to
put on its show. Almost half of the Olympics' money comes from big companies
paying for advertising, and the two that the London Assembly has chosen to target
are some of the most important, financially. In fact, Coca-Cola is also the
most faithful sponsor of the games, having supported the Olympics since 1928.
The companies themselves, of course, say that no matter
what, the consumers are the ones who decide what they're going to eat.
Coca-Cola claims that about ¾ of its drink sales will probably come from harmless
things like water, juices and sugar-free drinks. And even McDonald's has some healthy
options, like salads. But there's still the fear of supporting obesity at an
international event dedicated to celebrating athletic excellence. The London
Assembly has made its call, so it's up to the Olympic Committee to decide now.

The Two-Way
With Chen's Fate Uncertain, Online 'Dark Glasses' Campaign Continues
By Mark Memmott
Before his escape from house arrest, his stay at the U.S. embassy in Beijing and now his plea that he be allowed to go to the U.S., Chinese legal activist Chen Guangcheng was the focus of a "Dark Glasses" campaign aimed at drawing attention to his plight.
Chen, who is blind, is normally seen and photographed wearing sunglasses. Those who upload pictures of themselves to the Dark Glasses blog pledge to "not stop until you are free!"
Chen's status now is uncertain. He says he fears for his and his family's safety and that he wishes he hadn't left the U.S. embassy.
So his supporters are still uploading pictures to Dark Glasses. Number 578 showed up today.

Disclosed herein is a cutter for a rock bit that has an interior bearing race area carburized by pack carburization methods to achieve a high carbon content for extreme hardness. The exterior of the cutter is carburized also, but to a lesser degree, to avoid brittleness in the tooth area. The differential carburizing is accomplished by gas carburizing the exterior while simultaneously pack carburizing the interior. Conventional heat treatment for hardening follows. This results in a cutter having a bearing area much harder than the exterior, giving a long bearing life and reducing tooth breakage.
1. In an earth boring bit, an improved rotatable cutter comprising:
a first carburized case on the cutter exterior;
a second carburized case on the cutter interior;
said second case having a substantially higher carbon content at its surface than said first case;
said first and second carburized cases being hardened to produce a cutter with an interior substantially harder than the exterior, providing a cutter resistant to tooth breakage while maintaining a wear resistant bearing surface.
2. The cutter as defined by claim 1 wherein the case depths of said first case and said second case are substantially equal.
3. The cutter as defined by claim 1 wherein the surface carbon content by weight of said first case is within the range of 0.30-0.50% and said second case within the range of 0.85-1.05%.
4. The cutter as defined by claim 1 wherein the maximum carbon content by weight of said first case is less than 0.55%. and the maximum carbon content by weight of said second case after machining is greater than 0.85%.
5. The cutter as defined by claim 1 wherein the first carburized and hardened case has a surface hardness in the range from 42-50 Rc and the second carburized and hardened case has a surface hardness in the range from 57-63 Rc.
6. The cutter as defined by claim 1 wherein the maximum hardness of the first carburized and hardened case is less than 57 Rc and occurs within the case, and the second carburized and hardened case has a maximum hardness greater than 57 Rc and occurs at the surface.
7. In an earth boring bit, an improved rotatable cutter comprising:
a first carburized case on the cutter exterior;
said first case having a carbon gradient with the maximum carbon content of said case within said case and not at the surface;
a second carburized case on the cutter interior;
said second case having a substantially higher carbon gradient than said first case substantially throughout the depths of said cases;
said second case having a carbon content which is maximum at surface and decreases with depth;
said first and second carburized cases being hardened to produce a cutter with an interior substantially harder than the exterior, providing a cutter resistant to tooth breakage while maintaining a wear resistant bearing surface.
8. In an earth boring bit, an improved rotatable cutter comprising:
a first carburized case on the cutter exterior;
the carbon content by weight of said first case at the surface being in the range from 0.30-0.50%;
the carbon content by weight within said first case varying with depth, with the maximum carbon content less than 0.55% and occurring within said case;
a second carburized case on the cutter interior;
the depth of said second case and said first case being substantially equal and in the range from 0.050-0.120 inch;
the carbon content by weight of said second case being substantially higher than said first case at least to the depth at which the carbon content of said first case is 0.24%;
the carbon content by weight of said second case at the surface being within the range of 0.85-1.05% after machining;
the carbon content by weight within said second case decreasing with depth, with the maximum carbon content occurring at the surface of said second case;
the surface hardness of said first and second cases after heat treatment being in the range from 42-50 Rc on said first case and after machining 57-63 Rc on second case;
the maximum hardness in said first case being less than 57 Rc occurring within said case, and maximum hardness in said second case occurring at the surface;
whereby said cutter is resistant to tooth breakage while maintaining a wear resistant bearing surface.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates in general to earth boring drill bits, particularly to improved cutters for rock bits that have a high hardness on an interior bearing race and a lower hardness on the exterior tooth area to avoid tooth breakage.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A typical cutter for an earth boring rock bit is cone-shaped and contains earth disintegrating teeth on the exterior. The interior is partially hollow with bearing races to support bearings upon which each cutter rotates on the bearing pin of a head section.
It is known that higher carbon content in a steel cutter increases hardenability. To achieve high carbon content, normally a cutter carburized, then hardened and tempered. These processes act on the entire cutter, providing a fairly uniform degree of hardness and carbon content both on the interior and exterior.
Long bearing life is essentially and therefore the carburizing process of necessity produced a high carbon content. After hardening and tempering, excessive hardness in the exterior tooth area caused brittleness, occassional fatigue and tooth breakage.
This invention relates to the discovery that rock but cutter life is improved if the carbon content in the interior bearing area is higher than that on the exterior of the cutter. By packing the interior with a solid particle carburizing material, sealing, then gas carburizing the exterior, a differential carbon gradient is simultaneously achieved. Conventional hardening and quenching provides a cutter with an extremely hard interior bearing area because of the high carbon content from the solid particle carburizing material, and a softer exterior because of the lower carbon content from the gas carburizing on the exterior. Long bearing life is retained and tooth failure due to breakage reduced. Other objects, features and advantages will become apparent hereinafter.
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary perspective view, partially in section, showing a rotatable cutter mounted on suitable bearing means extending in cantilevered fashion from a drill bit leg or head section.
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary side elevational view, partially in section, of the cutter of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a graph of preferred carbon gradients in the interior bearing area and exterior tooth area of a cutter.
The numeral 11 in the drawing designates a leg or head section of a typical earth boring drill bit that supports a toothed, rotatable cutter 13. Typically a drill bit will contain three sections 11 and cutters 13.
A cutter 13 such as that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is generally mounted on a head section 11 with a cantilevered shaft or bearing pin 15 that forms a bearing means for the interior of the cutter 13. The particular bearing means illustrated has a friction bearing 17, a row of ball bearings 19, and additional friction bearing means utilizing the bushings 21 and thrust button 23. In this instance a seal means such as O-ring 25 is placed in a suitable groove means between the bearing pin 15 and cutter 13 to retain a lubricant within the bearing region. Teeth 27 disintegrate the earth as the cutter 13 rotates.
The graph of FIG. 3 shows the percent of carbon by weight in A.I.S.I. 4815 steel versus depth, plotted linearly for the interior and exterior of a cutter of a 77/8 inch rock bit, respectively identified by the numerals 26 and 28. The vertical grid lines represent the depth of a standard cut used to analyze carbon gradient. The two curves represent the carbon gradients of the preferred carburized cases, and case is defined herein to be the layer near the surface wherein the carbon content has been increased over the nominal uniform carbon content of the steel. The curves 26, 28 show the carbon gradients down to 0.24% carbon content, which corresponds to Rockwell "C" hardness of 50 Rc after hardening, as later described, while the nominal carbon content for that steel is 0.15%.
The carbon gradients are the slopes of the curves or the change of the carbon content over a given depth distance. These desired carbon gradients may be achieved by differential carburizing.
The preferred procedure of differentially carburizing the cutter 13 is achieved by combining the process of pack carburizing with the process of gas carburizing, both known arts. Pack carburizing is described on pages 115-118 of Vol. 2 of the 8th Edition of the Metals Handbook, "Heat Treating, Cleaning and Finishing" (American Society for Metals, 1964). Gas carburizing is described on pages 93-114 of the same reference, all the material of which is incorporated in this specification by reference.
One method of differential carburizing a rotatable cutter made of A.I.S.I. 4815 steel to achieve the carbon gradients of FIG. 3 includes the following steps. First the interior bearing area of the cutter is packed with a solid particle carburizing compound. These compounds are commercially available and preferably have a chemical analysis approximately as follows:
Barium Carbonate 3.5 - 5.2% (by weight)Calcium Carbonate 1.0 - 2.0%Binder 4.0 - 6.0%Charcoal balance
The compound is held in place with a metal cap which fits over the mouth of the cutter and seals the interior from the exterior atmosphere.
Then the cutter is placed in a carburizing furnace, either continuous or batch type. The furnace atmosphere is endothermic gas enriched with methane to have a carbon potential of approximately 1.00-1.10% carbon. This potential may vary with the type of fuel used, and a typical analysis of the carburizing gas (atmosphere) is as follows:
40%N2 (by weight)
20%CO (CO2 about 0.07%)
the cutter is heated to approximately 1700� F. for about 9 hours at this carbon potential. Carbon from the gas enters the cutter 13 exterior forming a carbon gradient of substantially linear slope represented by the curve 28 between the points 29 and 31 on FIG. 3. Also during this part of the process, carbon from the solid particle compound enters the cutter interior bearing area forming a carbon gradient curve 26, which appears approximately linear as in FIG. 3.
Then the carbon on cutter 13 exterior is diffused by increasing the percent of CO2 of the atmosphere to lower the carbon potential of the furnace to approximately 0.45-0.55% carbon. Heating is continued at 1700� F. for an additional 6 hours. This creates a non-linear portion of the carbon gradient curve as represented by the line 30 between points 31 and 33 in FIG. 3. During the diffusion process no additional carbon is added to the cutter exterior, resulting in a carbon content at the surface which appears in FIG. 3 to be about 0.40%. The maximum carbon content appears in FIG. 3 to be about 0.45% at 0.020 inch case depth. The surface carbon content and maximum carbon content may vary in the preferred embodiment within the range of 0.30-0.50% for the surface, and less than 0.55% maximum. Having the maximum carbon in the case and not at the surface lessens the tendency for fatigue cracks in the surface. Without the diffusion process, the carbon gradient would appear approximately linear on the graph of FIG. 3 similar to the cutter exterior curve, resulting in a much higher surface carbon. The interior which is sealed from the atmosphere is not affected by the diffusion process.
The next steps of the process are hardening and tempering. The solid particle carburizing compound is removed prior to these steps. Then hardening, usually quenching in agitated oil, from a temperature of at least 1390� F., can be performed using one of the following procedures for carburized A.I.S.I. 4815 steel to produce a substantially martensitic case:
a. Double quench from a carburizing or reducing atmosphere maintained at 2.2% CO2 and temperature of respectively 1,650� F. and 1,440� F. is preferred;
b. Single quench from a carburizing or reducing atmosphere and a temperature of 1,500� F.
The tempering temperature is usually low, 290� F. - 510� F., preferably about 335� F. for 1 hour to toughen the carburized case without appreciably lowering its strength (hardness) to produce tempered martensite.
After machining the interior bearing area of the cutter, the following results can be expected:
Cutter Exterior Cutter Interior______________________________________Surface carbon .30 - .50% .85 - 1.05%Maximum carbon .55% at surfaceSurface hardness 42 - 50 Rc 57 - 63 RcMaximum hardness 57 Rc at .020 inch at surface______________________________________
Various case depths can be obtained by using shorter or longer time cycles. Deeper case depths may be required for larger bit size and for different types of bits; i.e., a cutter for a 121/4 inch bit may be in the range from 0.100-0.120 inch case depth while a cutter for a 57/8 inch bit may be in the range from 0.50-0.70 inch. The depth at which maximum carbon content occurs within the cutter exterior case also varies accordingly. In any case, however, the case depths of the interior and exterior will be substantially equal.
The case microstructure of the cutter exterior should have no ferrite at the surface. The carbon gradient should have a maximum carbon level of 0.55% and the microstructure should be similar to that of quenched and tempered A.I.S.I. 4340 steel. The case microstructure and carbon gradient of the cutter interior bearing area should be the same as on a standard steel tooth cutter.
Drop impact tests to indicate impact strength of the cone exterior of this invention were performed on notched specimens. One group of specimens were gas carburized in the normal manner used in manufacturing cutters, giving a fairly high surface carbon content. A second group was gas carburized in accordance with the teachings of this specification, that is; 9 hours at 1,700� F. in an atmosphere containing 1.00-1.10% carbon potential, then 6 hours at 1,700� F. in an atmosphere containing 0.45-0.55% carbon potential. A third group was gas carburized as the first group except the notch was painted with case preventative paint to avoid carburization in that area.
The impact strength of the first group averaged 26 in-lbs, the second group approximately 49 in-lbs and the third group approximately 33 in-lbs. The higher impact strength of the cutter exterior with a carburized case of this invention indicates more toughness or overall capacity of the tooth area to absorb energy, indicating less breakage.
The advantages of the differential carburized cutter were further demonstrated by field tests of three cutters constructed in accordance with the teachings of this specification. They were assembled with head sections to form an earth boring drill bit, which was secured during operation to the lower end of a drill string member by threads. The drill string was then lowered and rotated to urge the cutter teeth into the earth's formation. The bits of the present invention exhibited a bearing life comparably to that obtained with the prior art cutter. In addition, there was a significant reduction of tooth breakage in some instances.
While the differential carburized cutter has been shown in only one form, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that it is not so limited, but cutters and bearing surfaces or other configurations may also contain differential carburized cases. In addition selective portions of the cutter may be painted with a commercially obtainable case preventive paint should carburization of only certain portions be desired. Also the method of achieving the different carburized cases may be modified without departing from the spirit thereof.

Yes, the unlocked GSM model of the Nexus is available directly from Google for only $399.00. Not a bad price considering we have seen unlocked devices hitting $700 and $800. We personally didn't notice the new tab on the left hand side of the online Play Store that says "Devices" until about a week ago. We are willing to bet that fills up shortly when the Nexus tablet and other manufacturer Nexus devices become available. You aren't hear to talk about the Gnex though. You are here because the title stated accessories are now being sold in the Play Store. They are, not that you would have noticed them unless you clicked through to devices though. As of right now you can order yourself a vehicle dock, HDMI Portrait desktop dock or desktop dock with pogo pin. Whats even better, these are the official ones from Samsung and cost much less. For instance, the Pogo dock is $89.99 from Samsung while through Google Play, it's only $54. It is a start isn't it. Pretty soon the Play Store will be your go to online retail store for everything we need for our devices. Check out the accessories via the Google Play today.

Mrs. Pollifax and the Hong Kong Buddha
Ballantine Books, 1985 - Fiction - 217 pages
"Like the proverbial first potato chip [this book] gives you an irresistible craving for the first six Mrs. Pollifax books."

Although recently married, Mrs. Pollifax is packed and ready to go to China, where a young agent, Sheng Ti, holds the answers to goings on at the sinister Feng Imports--a one-time agency front.

Once Shinji didn't care about anything; then he found people to fight for - only to learn that he couldn't protect them, or keep those he let into his heart from going away. As mankind tilts on the brink of the Third Impact, human feelings are fault lines; good, for cracking the world open, or bad, to be welded forever shut. Kaworu, the Angel of Free Will, now offers Shinji his own two choices - but what if neither is the right one...?
Story and art by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto.
