Description [0001] The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for Governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefore. [0002] 1. Field Of The Invention [0003] The invention relates to a process for spinning a polymer filament. More particularly, the invention relates to a process for forming a polymer filament in an electrostatic charged field provided by plural, spaced electrodes. The invention also relates to a polymer forming apparatus comprising a spinneret. [0004] 2. Discussion Of The Related Art [0005] The invention relates to a process for the production of polymer filaments, fibers and other very fine polymer extrudates from a thread-forming polymer. A solid polymer is converted to a fluid state so that it will pass under pressure through a fine extrusion die orifice. A continuous liquid phase filament is extruded and drawn though a zone in which solvent evaporation and cooling takes place, causing the filament to solidify and form a continuous, solid filament. The solid filament is collected by means such as a rotating drum, moving belt, water bath, and the like or a combination thereof. In a filament extrusion apparatus, the die orifice is oriented to pass the liquid phase filament directly toward the collection means. This facilitates a linear orientation in the solidifying polymer filament. Drawing and annealing also facilitate the linear orientation of the fiber. [0006] In the electro spinning process, solvent evaporation from the filament, filament cooling or both take place in the zone between the extrusion die and the filament collection means. This zone is biased to maintain an electrostatic field. [0007] The extrusion die and the filament collection means are each electrically conductive. An electric potential difference is maintained between them. In commercial practice the bias is in the range of 5,000 to 15,000 volts, often 5,000 to 10,000 volts. An electro spinning apparatus usually has a positively biased die and a grounded collection means. A positively biased die with a negatively biased collection means has also been used. The polarity necessitates a minimum separation between the die and collection means to prevent arcing across the zone. In this sense, the electrostatic field is elongated or longitudinal between the two conductors. Reference to the elongated or longitudinal electrostatic field is also consistent with the longitudinal orientation of the filament as it is drawn linearly in the electrostatic field. [0008] The polymer filament is drawn from the die orifice to the collection means under the influence of the electrostatic field. As a result, the extruded molten filament is subjected along its length to an electrostatic field. The strength of the electrostatic field decreases exponentially with the distance between the electrodes. Accordingly, the drawing rate from the anodic die to the cathodic drawing means varies along the filament length due to the variation in the electrostatic charge on the filament. [0009] U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,975,504; 2,158,416; and 2,323,025 to A. Formhals disclose a process and apparatus for preparing artificial threads. These pioneer patents disclose the essential elements of the process, including a pair of spaced electrodes. These electrodes produce an electrostatic field through which an extruded filament is drawn. Means is provided for varying the rate of filament collection. The filament is spun into yarn by mechanical spinning means. [0010] In accordance with the invention, a process is provided for electro spinning a polymer filament, fiber or the like in an electrostatic field created between a biased polymer extrusion die and a collection means. [0011] A thread-forming polymer is liquefied and extruded through a die orifice. The extruded filament is drawn while solidifying, through the electrostatic field. A solid filament is collected on the collection means. [0012] The electrostatic field is sequentially biased along the length of the liquid filament. The polarity of the electrostatic field is the same as that of the die. The extruded filament is exposed to the sequential bias as it solidifies. As a result, the liquid state filament and the resulting solid filament product have a uniform linear molecular orientation longitudinally along the filament. Therefore the solid filament product tends to have a uniform linear molecular orientation. [0013] Solid filaments produced according to the process has physical properties which make them particularly useful for making protective clothing such as chemical and biological protective clothing, light weight personal body armor and the like. The solid filament also has utility in applications in uses such as tissue growth medium, particulate filters and for optical and electronic applications. [0014]FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an electro spinning spinneret and electrode assembly. [0015]FIG. 2 is a graphical representation of electrostatic field strength with respect to distance from the die orifice to the collecting means. [0016] The polymers useful in the electro spinning process include any of the thread-forming polymers known in the art for this utility. These include especially polyamides, polyesters, polyolefins, and polyacrylonitrile. Suitable polyamides are nylon 6, nylon 6/6, nylon 6/9, nylon 6/10, nylon 6/12, nylon 11, nylon 12, copolymers thereof and mixtures thereof. Suitable polyesters are polyalkylene terephthalate and polyalkylene naphthalates, particularly polyethylene terephthalate. Suitable polyolefins are polymers of C2 to C10 olefins, in particular polyethylene, polyoxyethylene, polypropylene and polyoxypropylene and copolymers thereof and mixtures thereof with polymethylmethacrylate. [0017] Solvents useful in the electro spinning process include any of those solvents which are which are effective for use in liquefying thread-forming polymers. The solvent must be stable in the liquid state in mixtures with the polymer at electro spinning process operating temperatures. The solvent must also rapidly evaporate from the surface of the polymer while the polymer is drawn to a thin filament or fiber. Such solvents include acetone, acetic ether, benzene, methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol and the like and mixtures thereof. Water is a particularly useful solvent in the process. Typically, polymer is dissolved in a solvent or combination of solvents in an amount such that the solution passing through the die orifice contains about 1% to 20% by weight thread-forming polymer in solvent and has a viscosity of about 1 to 200 Poise. Electro spinning of a feedstock fluid comprising polymer dissolved in solvent is referred to as electro spinning from solution. [0018] Although less common, melted polymers which display a Melt Index of about 0.5 to 2.0 in the absence of solvent are usable in the process without solvent. Melt Index is measured according to ASTM D-1238, Test Methods for Flow Rates of Thermoplastics by Extrusion Plastometer. Such polymers are heated in the mixer to a temperature, typically in the range of 180� to 350� Centigrade, at which they melt and display the required Melt Index of about 0.5 to 2.0. Electro spinning of a feedstock comprising melted polymer in the absence of solvent is referred to as electro spinning from a molten polymer or polymer melt. [0019] Both electro spinning from solution and electro spinning from molten polymer produce a continuous solid polymer filament of 5 to 1000 nanometers in diameter, preferably 100 to 500 nanometers in diameter. [0020] It is understood that additives such as dyes, pigments, lubricants, nucleating agents, antioxidants, ultraviolet light stabilizers, antistatic agents, soil resistance agents, stain resistance agents anti microbial agents, flame retardants, conductive particles and the like are added to polymer and solvent in the mixer to form a homogenous liquid polymer mixture. The concentration of these additives is chosen according to the desired properties of the final filament, fiber or the like. [0021] Commercial mixers are available for liquefying thread-forming polymer by mixing polymer and solvent together, optionally with controlled heating. Electric stirrers are commonly used for batch mixing. Extruders are used in commercial and laboratory practice for melting and mixing polymer, and any additives and for extruding the thread-forming polymer into a filament, thread or the like. [0022] Inventors adopt the convention herein that the noun �bias� refers to an applied voltage. The verb �bias� means to apply a negative or positive voltage to a body. The word �charge� refers to a definite quantity of electricity, particularly excess or a deficiency of electrons on a body. Furthermore, a bias is applied to the electrodes. This produces an electric field. The electric field induces a charge in the polymer solution. The electric field exerts a force on the induced charge in the polymer solution that causes a conical meniscus to form and to be drawn toward the collecting means. [0023] Attention is drawn to FIG. 1, a schematic diagram of the electro spinning process of the invention. FIG. 1 discloses the essential elements of the inventive method and apparatus for carrying out the invention. [0024] A solid polymer in bead form or reduced to chip form is passed to mixer 10 along with solvent and optional additives. Mechanical mixing may add sufficient heat, or the mechanical heat of mixing may be supplemented by means of electrical heating to achieve the desired viscosity. By way of example the liquefied polymer may comprise 4% to 13% by weight polyoxyethylene polymer having an average molecular weight of about 400,000 dissolved in water. The liquid polymer 15 is passed to a heated die 20. Die 20 is shown here by way of example as a single vertically downward passage capillary having a lower outlet orifice 30 diameter of about 5 to 1,000 nanometers, typically 100 to 500 nanometers. In practice, the die may comprise a plurality of individual capillaries and die orifices. For example, a single die may comprise 5 to 10 capillaries each having a 1-2 millimeter orifice. The die is also provided with means for maintaining the liquefied polymer under sufficient pressure to force the polymer through the die orifices at a rate of about 1 milliliter/hour/die orifice, e.g. 0.5 milliliter/hour/die orifice. [0025] Die 20 is integrally attached to, but electrically isolated from mixer 10. Die 20 is made of electrically conductive material. In the alternative, an electrode may be positioned in contact with the liquefied polymer. A biased electrode positioned in the liquid polymer is the functional equivalent of biasing die 20. It is typical to bias the die by biasing means 22 via anode connector 24 to an electro spinning anodic voltage of 5,000 to 15,000 volts. Of course the voltage applied is variable within the operating range and is selected by methods well known in the art in order to bring the continuous process to a steady state that produces a continuous polymer filament having the desired physical properties. The die has a fixed diameter orifice. It may be replaced with a die of a different fixed diameter orifice. Voltage to the die is adjusted during start-up to yield a continuous filament drawn vertically downward along a linearly elongated path. Process start-up is unsteady state by its nature. However, skilled technicians can start up a process apparatus and bring it to steady state production quickly enough to produce only small amounts of scrap polymer filament. Any scrap is recycled to the mixer. [0026] Vertically 3 to 100 centimeters below the orifice 30 is collecting means 70. Filament collection means 70 may be any apparatus suitable for the purpose of collecting a continuous nanometer diameter filament, such as a rotating drum, a conveyer belt, an electrically biased plate, a biased web, a water bath, and any combination thereof. Collection means 70 is made of electrically conducting material and optionally may be grounded, indicated by ground 71. Alternatively, collection means 70 is biased by biasing means 72 via cathode connector 74. For example, collection means may be cathodically biased to 5,000 to 15,000 volts, e.g. equal and opposite of the bias on die 20. As discussed, the specific bias voltage selected is a matter of process start up and product quality control. [0027] Between the die 20 and the collecting means 70 is, according to the invention, a sequentially biased electrostatic field 50. The electrostatic field may be biased to 10,000 to 300,000 volts/meter. For example, it may be linearly biased to 50,000 to 250,000 volts/meter. [0028] In practice an apparatus may comprise 5 to 10 spinnerets that are spaced 1 to 4 centimeters apart. The filaments are typically spun into yarn. Methods for spinning filaments into yarn are well known in the art. This may be accomplished in the process by increasing the electric potential of the middle one or more rings, e.g. electrode 55 b, to cause adjacent filaments to repel and displace laterally from one another. This resolves into a spiraling or corkscrew motion, the functional equivalent of spinning. Electric potential to the following rings is reduced causing the spiraling filaments to converge at a common center. This spinning and recentering is used to spin the filaments into yarn. [0029] In the alternative, the bias of the middle one or more rings can be reduced to induce a small amount of lateral contact between filaments. This also causes spinning of several filaments into yarn. The apparatus used to accomplish spinning provides for independently charged electrodes. [0030] This laterally induced instability can also be used to weave fabric. Weaving is accomplished by means of shaped electrodes. For example, the final two electrodes before collecting means can be parallel plates that direct the filament and control deposition. It is possible to achieve complicated weaving by means of multiple flat plate electrodes, e.g. four flat plate electrodes. [0031] A liquid state polymer in the capillary of die 20 is positively biased by contact with anode connector 24. A meniscus forms at the outlet of the capillary, and is immediately attracted by the cathodic bias on collection means 70 to form a conical meniscus 35 having a hemispherical tip. The term �critical� voltage refers to the electrical potential at which the electrostatic force acting on the liquid surface balances the liquid surface tension. This potential is determined by the physical properties of the polymer liquid, which include surface tension, dielectric constant and viscosity. Once the critical voltage is exceeded, a fine stream of liquid erupts from the apex of the cone. This stream is maintained by a continuous feed of liquid to the capillary outlet at rates less than 1 milliliter/hour/die orifice up to about 10 milliliter/hour/die orifice. [0032] This fine stream of liquid is adjusted by means of the anode voltage to be liquid filament 40. The fine stream of liquid has an initial diameter of 50 to 100 microns on start up. The process yields a continuous solid polymer filament of 5 to 1,000 nanometers in diameter, preferably 100 to 500 nanometers in diameter. [0033] The electrostatic attractive force draws liquid filament 40 to the cathodically biased collecting means 70. As the liquid polymer filament 40 is drawn, it is subjected to solvent evaporation and/or cooling to the ambient temperature, measured by thermocouple 42 at a single point or at multiple points along the filament path. Adjusting ambient pressure and humidity controls the rate of solvent evaporation. Adjusting ambient temperature controls the rate of cooling. As a result of solvent evaporation and/or cooling, the liquid filament 40 solidifies into a solid polymer filament 60. [0034] The linear distance between die 20 and collecting means 70 is 0.5 to 1,000 centimeters or more, e.g. 20 centimeters. Criticality has been found in this linear distance. It has been found at linear distances of about 3 centimeters and greater, that the path of the fiber deviates from straight. Often the deviation is in a generally circular or spiral path. In a first case where the liquid filament 40 spirals, it can break into discontinuous fibers. This is undesirable if a continuous filament is required. [0035] In a second case of filament spiraling, a non-linear bias can be imparted to the filament. This case may in fact be desirable for fibers wherein a natural wool-like crimp is sought, such as in the manufacture of thread for weaving cloth for clothing and the like. However, a non-linear bias is undesirable for some other applications, such as fine very fine mesh woven cloth. [0036] The reason for this path variation is under investigation. The nanometer diameter fibers produced are so fine that they are influence by small transient changes in physical and/or electrostatic forces. Drawing and annealing impart a linear orientation to the fiber. In industrial practice the fiber is collected on a rotating drum that by design has a rotational velocity greater than the velocity of the fiber leaving the die. The rate of drawing is controlled by adjusting the velocity differential between the fiber and the rotating drum. Any small change in this velocity differential influences the acceleration of a filament increment and the degree of linear orientation of that increment. [0037] It is also known that between the anode and the cathode, the attractive force on the molten polymer filament decreases exponentially with the linear distance between the two. This nonlinear relationship is represented as curve 85 on FIG. 2. It is theorized that at a certain distance, the attractive drawing force on the filament is so reduced that electrical charges on the lateral surface are no longer insignificant and the charges begin to hunt an alternate ground, pulling the filament laterally with them. It is known that the attractive electrical force between the biased die and the biased collecting means causes the liquid polymer at the tip of the capillary to distort into a conical liquid polymer meniscus having a hemispherical tip. The fine liquid filament is drawn from this tip. It is thought that repulsive charge forces in the capillary result in instability or vibration in the conical meniscus resulting in an oscillation in the resulting liquid filament. [0038] Applicants have found that a distance of about 3 centimeters from the die orifice is the point beyond which chaotic or spiraling motion may occur in the filament. All of these observations have lead inventors to conclude that there is insufficient restoring force on the drawn filament for inherent stability to ensure consistent product quality in the electro spinning process. [0039] The liquid filament 40 is passed through a longitudinally sequentially biased electrostatic zone 50. This sequentially biased electrostatic zone 50 overcomes the deficiency in the electrostatic field created in a conventional electro spinning process between the die and the filament collecting means. The polymer filaments are passed though a series of electrostatically biased electrodes 55 a, 55 b, and 55 c. These electrostatically biased electrodes are charged by means of biasing means 52 with a bias having the same polarity as that of the die. Each of electrodes is sequentially biased at a lower voltage than the preceding electrode. This can be accomplished by biasing each with the same biasing means 52 in series, with electrical resistors in the circuit between the biased electrodes in order to step the voltage down. For example resistors 56 a, 55 b and 56 c may each be rated 50 ohms at 30,000 volts. Accordingly, the voltage in electrode 55 a is lower than the voltage in die 20. The voltage in electrode 55 b is lower than the voltage in electrode 55 a. The voltage in electrode 55 c is lower than the voltage in electrode 55 b. [0040] Although three electrodes are shown, it is understood that a plurality of electrodes and a like number of identical resistors can be assembled to provide a sequentially biased electrostatic zone. For example, if n is the number of electrostatically biased electrodes 55 a, 55 b, 55 c, n can equal 10, 20, 50 or more. The die and collecting means are each counted as electrodes. The total number of electrodes in the electro spinning apparatus is then n+2. [0041] The die is counted as the first electrode to which is applied the first electrical charge. The first ring in the electrode means is counted as the second electrode to which is applied the second electrical charge. The last ring in the electrode means is counted as the (n+1)th electrode to which is applied the (n+1)th charge. The (n+1)th ring will usually be in electrical communication with ground, indicated by ground 57, via resistor 56 c. The collecting means is the (n+2)th electrode to which is applied the (n+2)th charge. In industrial practice the (n+2)th bias will usually be ground as indicated by ground 71. [0042] Electrostatic zone 50 can be biased by means of a number, n, of electrodes to provide an essentially linearly biased electrostatic zone 50 between die 20 and collecting means 70. The electrodes are usually uniformly spaced, i.e. there is an equal distance between electrodes. The zone 50 should sufficiently fill the space between die 20 and collecting means 70 to that liquid polymer 40 is exposed to a sequentially biased zone. Once solidified, the polymer molecules retain their linear orientation. The resulting solidified filament retains a linear bias. [0043] Solidifying of the liquid filament takes place primarily due to solvent loss, and is also due to cooling, or a combination of the two as the filament passes from the die orifice 30 through electrostatic field 50. [0044] Attention is drawn to FIG. 2, which graphically depicts the bias field from die charging means 22 to collecting means charging means 70. This includes electrostatic zone 50. Length from tip to target is plotted on the ordinate in meters. Field strength is plotted on the abscissa in volts/meter. Die 20 is at distance 0 meters. Collecting Means 70 is at distance 0.2 meters. The bias applied by electrode means provides an essentially linear voltage gradient, represented by line 80. The gradient in an electro spinning process of the prior art is represented by curve 85 [0045] The charged polymer filament can be deposited directly on collecting means. In the alternative, the solid filament can be passed between parallel plate electrodes. By adjusting the electric potential drop between the plates, it is possible to move the filament laterally. If a second set of parallel plate electrodes is positioned orthogonal to the first set of electrode plates, the fiber can be selectively positioned in two dimensions on a collecting means.

[0070] An electro spinning apparatus was assembled according to the invention. Polyoxyethylene and water were mixed to form a homogeneous aqueous polymer fluid. The die was biased to a positive 7,000 volts. A positive bias of 5,000 volts was applied to the eight ring electrode means. The resulting electric field gradient is represented by line 90 in FIG. 2. An aluminum foil collection surface was biased at negative 10,000 volts. The liquid polymer was drawn vertically downward through the center of the eight ring electrode means over a distance of 8 inches (20.3 centimeters). The filament was photographed by means of high-speed laser imaging. A uniform filament was produced having a maximum diameter of 300 nanometers measured by electron microscopy. [0071] Voltage to the eight ring electrode means was reduced to 2,500 volts. The liquid polymer filament became unstable, and developed corkscrew path of travel between the die and the collector. The filament was again photographed. [0072] Voltage to the electrode means was then increased to 5,000 volts. The corkscrew path instability damped out and a linear filament was reestablished. [0073] The foregoing discussion discloses and describes embodiments of the present invention by way of example. One skilled in the art will readily recognize from this discussion and from the accompanying drawings and claims, that various changes, modifications and variations can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.

Thanks Jean, I'm glad this information hasn't landed on deaf ears.

Dallas pursuit ends in tense standoff at mall
Police believed the suspect was armed and wanted for aggravated assault on a police officer
By PoliceOne Staff
DALLAS — Dallas police were pursuing a red sedan whose driver police believed was armed and wanted for aggravated assault on a police officer when he stopped his vehicle and a standoff ensued.
The driver, who has not yet been identified, suddenly stopped his vehicle on U.S. 67, ignored orders from police to exit his vehicle, and continued driving again slowly before stopping in the Southwest Center Mall parking lot.
According to NBC, the driver exited his vehicle briefly with a gun to his head before getting inside the car.
Dallas SWAT and nearly two dozen police cars could be seen at the scene and cordoning off parking areas.
The suspect then fell out of his vehicle from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. According to the department's Twitter page, the suspect is deceased.

Niche campaign features bandwidth-detecting mobile ads.
Spring allergies attack everyone, but allergy medication brand Zyrtec is running a targeted campaign aimed specifically at female Hispanics. Not only is the niche campaign entirely digital, 60 percent of the budget is going toward mobile advertising.
Hispanics are more likely to own a smartphone than white non-Hispanics, according to Spring 2011 Pew Internet study. Compared to 30 percent of white non-Hispanics, 44 percent of Hispanics own a smartphone. They're also more likely to have any type of mobile phone than white non-Hispanics - 86 percent compared to 80 percent, according to Pew.
"We took advantage and leveraged that," said Brian Anderson, EVP, digital experience at Vidal Partnership, a Hispanic agency.
The idea is to create awareness of the Zyrtec brand among Hispanic women and moms, and move them toward purchase. "The mother in the family is like the CEO," said Anderson of Hispanic moms. A variety of mobile ads, some featuring video, are aimed at Spanish speaking, bilingual and Spanish-dominant Hispanic females aged 25-49.
The first wave of the nationwide campaign launched recently and is set to run through May. For the first mobile-only wave of the campaign, Vidal worked with GoldSpot Media, which has developed an ad unit that detects connection mobile bandwidth. If a user is on a Wi-Fi connection, GoldSpot, a mobile rich media ad platform firm, serves up a video-enabled Zyrtec ad.
Vidal and Zyrtec, "are the first ones who believed in it and tried it," said GoldSpot Media CEO Srini Dharmaji. "In this case since this was the first time anybody is launching this...we wanted to make sure we worked closely with Vidal and our publisher partners," said Dharmaji.
A variety of ad creative messaging is targeted to female Hispanic users on mobile sites including Univision, Telemundo, Viva News, and AOL-Latino, and to Hispanic women searching for allergy or hay fever related content.
Another leg of the campaign's first wave that is yet to launch involves online video ads featuring a game element and coupons, he said. That component of the campaign will run through Tremor Video.
Zyrtec is no stranger to interactive game campaigns. The brand ran a gamified YouTube campaign in September 2011.
Johnson & Johnson, owner of Zyrtec, "is very committed to the Hispanic market," said Anderson. However, he admitted it can be challenging to convince an advertiser to run a digital heavy campaign. "It takes work. They're a CPG company and they rely on awareness building through [traditional media] like broadcast and print," he said.
"We were looking for a way that could bridge that awareness of what [Zyrtec was] doing" in traditional media channels, Anderson added.
Zyrtec is already planning to go ahead with a second tier of the campaign in July and August, he added.

""CEOs go to their vacation homes just after companies report favorable news, and CEOs return to headquarters right before subsequent news is released. More good news is released when CEOs are back at work, and CEOs appear not to leave headquarters at all if a firm has adverse news to disclose. When CEOs are away from the office, stock prices behave quietly with sharply lower volatility. Volatility increases immediately when CEOs return to work." —David Yermack, a New York University finance professor, whose recently released study shows a correlation between when CEOs take their private jets on vacation and movements in their companies' stock price "
Make It a Safe Trip
For terrorists and other criminals, there must be few targets more inviting than high-net-worth individuals who fly privately. Which countries are safe? "None," according to Edward L. Lee II, author of Staying Safe Abroad: Traveling, Working and Living in a Post-9/11 World. Lee knows what he's talking about, having spent 30 years with the U.S. State Department, where he served as a regional security officer in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East and helped develop post-9/11 anti-terrorism strategies.
His 325-page book is an easy-to-carry 4½-by-6½-inch collection of everything you need to know about traveling safely, from threat assessment to eye-opening statistics. The volume is available from online booksellers such as Barnes and Noble and Amazon.

Is the five-year turnaround plan on track?
I would say we are on track. We are about where we thought we would be. In these turnarounds, there are businesses that do very well and then there are businesses that haven't quite turned the corner. Sometimes, the businesses that do well change from quarter to quarter. It is not linear and can be a little bumpy, but I feel really good about where we are. I think the things that are surprising on the upside are the responsiveness of HP people. Customers, as I have said many times, want HP to win. I think we have had a good response from the channel to the changes that we have made here at HP, and we are going to continue to make sure that we are the best partner that those channel partners can do business with. That I think is really quite good.

Pitt overcome Levance Fields' unexpected free-throw follies to escape VCU in OT, writes Kim Baxter.
BUFFALO -- Pittsburgh coach Jamie Dixon would gladly put guard Levance Fields on the free-throw line with the game on the line just about every time. The sophomore from Brooklyn, besides being a 78.8 percent foul shooter, plays with that New York City toughness and backs down to no one, in no situation.
But Fields, who admitted it was the most pressure he's ever felt as a player, clanked both badly and sent the game into overtime.
"I really felt he was going to knock them down," Dixon said. "I had a lot of confidence in him. Sometimes it happens. They don't go down. But the one thing I know about him is it's not going to affect him. It's not going to bother him."
Fields more than redeemed himself in the extra session as third-seeded Pittsburgh survived a furious VCU second-half rally for an 84-79 win in Buffalo's HSBC Arena to advance to the Sweet 16 in San Jose.
In overtime, the 5-foot-10 sophomore nailed a high arcing 3-pointer over the outstretched arm of first-round hero Eric Maynor. A minute later, he grabbed a defensive rebound and pushed the ball quickly up the court, finding teammate Ronald Ramon for a wide-open 3-pointer. The back-to-back 3s gave Pitt a 78-71 lead and control of the overtime session.
"Once I created space, I knew I was shooting it," Fields said. "I had all the confidence in the world it was going to go in. Especially after missing those free throws, I wanted to make a play. Once it went through the basket, it was just a great feeling of relief."
The Panthers (29-7) made their last four free throws to seal the victory and end VCU's remarkable season. The 11th-seeded Rams (28-7) won the Colonial Athletic Association regular-season and tournament titles and knocked off Duke in the first round, giving the school its first NCAA tournament win since 1985.
And they didn't do down without a fight on Saturday. After trailing by 15 points at halftime and by 19 points with just 12:11 left in regulation, VCU used a frantic full-court press to create havoc. Pittsburgh committed half of its 16 turnovers in a 10-minute span in the second stanza as the Rams turned the 19-point deficit into a tie game with 1:42 to go.
Dixon blamed fatigue -- caused by food poisoning to star center Aaron Gray (14 points, eight rebounds and five assists) and Mike Cook's sore knee (12 points and eight rebounds) -- as part of the reason for his team's sloppy second-half play and VCU's dramatic comeback. With Gray and Cook limited well below their usual minutes, Dixon had to lean on a shorter rotation.
The Rams recognized Pittsburgh's fatigue and believed they could take advantage in the five-minute overtime. But Gray used his big body to back his way into a layup and the lead, which the Panthers would never relinquish.
After a brief gasp of hope with Fields' two missed free throws at the end of regulation, the season came to a quick and painful end for VCU.
"We were thinking that we've got this game won," said Rams senior Jesse Pellot-Rosa. "They're tired. They're winded. We've got this game won. But a couple of their guys hit two crucial 3-pointers. They pushed the lead up and we ran out of time."

Governor Deval Patrick today joined state health officials, municipal leaders, legislators, community members and medical providers to announce the launch of the Prevention and Wellness Trust Fund (PWTF). Part of Chapter 224 health care cost containment legislation, this first-in-the-nation effort provides more than $40 million in grants to nine community-based partnerships over four years to help fight chronic illness and improve health outcomes while reducing health care costs. The Governor made the announcement Monday morning at Holyoke Health Center.
"In Massachusetts, we believe that health care is a public good and every resident deserves access to affordable, quality care," said Governor Deval Patrick. "These grants will help us reach that goal by funding the intervention strategies proven to work."
The Fund supports community-based partnerships in achieving measurable health goals through research-based interventions. The goals of the Fund are to reduce rates of the most prevalent and preventable health conditions, advance healthy behaviors, increase the adoption of workplace wellness or health management programs and address health disparities. Municipalities, healthcare systems, community organizations, businesses, regional planning organizations and schools are working together to launch community-specific programs to address issues including hypertension, smoking, falls prevention among older adults and pediatric asthma.
"Through the Prevention and Wellness Trust Fund, we're able not only to implement evidence-based interventions in community and clinical settings, but also to use technological innovation to connect the two, improving the integration of care and expanding access to services," said Secretary of Health and Human Services John Polanowicz. "By working in these unique partnerships, we can keep residents healthy in a way that takes into account the specialized public health needs of each community."
A critical component of the program is to connect clinical and community settings through use of health information technology by sending electronic referrals to and from community resources. The e-Referral Program will allow participating community-based programs to use electronic health records (EHR) to connect directly with medical providers and report information about a patient's participation in particular programs. Used in both the clinical and community setting, the e-Referral Program will be used to evaluate the success of the PWTF including patient populations, services received and improved health outcomes. Ultimately, these health outcomes will be used to estimate a return on investment for particular intervention within the PWTF, as well as the PWTF program as a whole.
Monday's event included a demonstration of the state's e-Referral pilot, demonstrating the in-browser application to simulate the YMCA as an example community based organization managing a referral and providing feedback to a clinician on a sample case.
The PWTF will achieve specified outcomes by incorporating community health workers into care teams as specialists in outreach, education, direct services, and advocacy for some of the state's most vulnerable residents. As an emerging trend in health care, community health workers are a proven, cost effective way to reach disengaged populations and support linking them to clinical providers. Through its work with the grant recipients, DPH will promote the use of community health workers as an useful tool to improve patient engagement in these intervention strategies.
"Connecting healthcare systems to community resources will give people more tools to prevent and manage chronic health conditions where they live, work, and play," said DPH Commissioner Cheryl Bartlett. "Prevention and wellness are tremendously effective in helping people live healthier lives in their communities."
Initial funding of $250,000 for up to 10 months will be distributed to partnerships to refine their proposals including their service area, health conditions/interventions and/or population(s) of focus, and capacity building. Implementation funding will be provided when the grantees meet specified benchmarks. Each partnership will be provided with enhanced support and technical assistance from the Commonwealth to further shape this work and help them achieve meaningful return on investment.
"This grant will allow us to focus on the neighborhoods where our residents are most impacted by health inequities, and leverage our network of community health centers to provide better access and proactive care," said Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh. "At the same time, we're looking ahead to establishing best practices that can be expanded to every neighborhood in the city of Boston."
"The City of Holyoke will benefit greatly from this funding, and I applaud and thank Governor Patrick and the Massachusetts DPH for recognizing the importance of community based partnerships in order to provide quality health care for our City's most vulnerable residents," said Holyoke Mayor Alex Morse. "It truly takes the collaborative efforts of our whole community to make Holyoke a healthier place to live, and this funding will ensure that we are able to continue to provide innovative and life saving services to all of our residents."
"The Prevention and Wellness Trust Fund supports community-based prevention and wellness programs aimed at reducing the most costly and prevalent avoidable health conditions," said Senator Harriette L. Chandler, Assistant Majority Leader and Co-Chair of the Prevention for Health Caucus. "By focusing on prevention and certain quantifiable benchmarks, the Trust enables the Commonwealth to provide new ways to deliver and fund health care."
"Governor Patrick and Department of Public Health Commissioner Cheryl Bartlett are committed to improving health and wellness throughout the Commonwealth," said New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell. "They recognize the critical role that community-based partnerships can play in growing healthy behaviors and reducing the most widespread and preventable health conditions. I have no doubt that the work of the New Bedford-Fall River partnership, led by New Bedford Public Health Director, Dr. Brenda Weis, will lead to improved health outcomes and reduced health care costs in the region."
"Preventing behaviors that require expensive health care, like substance abuse and tobacco use, helps everyone--individuals, families, neighborhoods and our healthcare system" said Representative Antonio F.D. Cabral. "These state dollars for the New Bedford Health Department will help all of us by keeping costs down while improving public health."
