Silverman 4 Claims, N0 Drawings METALLIZED VIDEO DISC HAVING A DIELECTRIC COATING THEREON BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to the manufacture of video discs and particularly to manufacturing a video disc having a durable dielectric coating thereon with excellent playback qualities.
Recording and playback systems have been developed wherein a video disc is utilized to store information. According to one method, as described by Clemens in copending application Ser. No. 126,772, filed Mar. 22, 1971 now Patent No. 3,842,194, conductive discs are prepared having geometric variations in the bottom of a spiral groove in the disc surface which correspond to capacitance variations representative of the stored information. The conductive disc is obtained by metallizing the surface of a vinyl disc. The conductive discs are then coated with a thin conformal dielectric coating. A stylus having a metallic electrode completes the capacitor, and, during playback, rides upon the dielectric coating, detecting the variations in the groove. These variations are reconstituted in electrical signal form and converted back to the stored information which can be viewed in a television monitor capable of displaying the stored audio and visual information.
The stylus is separated from the conductive disc surface by the thin conformal dielectric coating. For quality recordings, it is necessary that the dielectric coating meet very stringent requirements. For example, the most desirable dielectric coating would be uniform in thickness and composition, as well as conforming to the geometric variations in the grooves, yet without faults or pinholes. In addition, the dielectric coating must be strong enough to withstand repeated passes of the stylus without damage to the coating itself or to the variations in the disc, yet the coating must not be so hard as to unduly wear the stylus. Present discs employ polymers such as polystyrene for the thin conformal dielectric coating. However, present dielectric coating techniq ues enhance the roughness of the surface of the metallized disc causing the stylus to bounce off and back on the metallized surface. Furthermore, present dielectric coatings have little elasticity thus causing rapid wear of the stylus as well as eventual damage to the groove dimensions as the stylus bounces up and down along its spiral path. A conformal dielectric coating of poly-p-xylylene meets all but one of the stringent requirements; the coating is too soft, being capable of providing only about 100 plays of satisfactory quality.
In addition, after a polymeric dielectric coating has been applied to a disc by conventional means, e.g., vapor deposition, it is often necessary to further harden the coating without disturbing the structure of the disc. Hardening a polymeric coating involves increasing the degree of crosslinking in the polymer as well as the molecular weight of the polymer. The most common technique for hardening polymeric coatings, heating the coating, is unacceptable as the necessary temperature for hardening, about 210F, is too high for the vinyl disc to withstand without incurring structural defects. Another technique for hardening polymeric coatings, ultraviolet radiation, is not effective for all polymeric coatings.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A polymeric dielectric coating on the surface of a conductive disc is hardened by exposing the coating to a glow discharge after the coating has been deposited on the conductive disc. An improved information storage means of the type having capacitance variations which can be displayed through a playback system. The information storage means includes a conductive disc having information recorded in the form of geometric variations in the surface thereof with a thin conformal coating thereon of poly-p-xylylene. The storage means is improved by hardening the coating by glow discharge techniques.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a metallized vinyl disc, i.e., a conductive disc, having a spiral groove therein can be coated with poly-p-xylylene, e.g., polyp-chloro-xylylene. It is necessary, in order to successfully coat a surface with a truly linear poly-p-xylylene coating, to first cleave the cyclic dimer, di-p-xylylene, to obtain the reactive vaporous radicals which are then condensed upon the surface, wherein the radicals condense and polymerize to form a linear homopolymeric or copolymeric coating depending upon the initial choice of dimeric reactants, system pressure, and the temperature of the surface to be coated. The vapor deposition takes place in apparatus similar to that described in US. Pat. No. 3,246,627 entitled Apparatus For Vapor Deposition," issued on Apr. 19, I966. Polyp-xylylene coatings can be prepared by methods well known in the art, e.g., as described in US. Pat. No. 3,288,728 entitled Para-Xylylene Copolymers," issued Nov. 29, 1966 and US. Pat. No. 3,342,754 entitled, Para-Xylylene Polymers," issued Sept. 19, 1967. Poly-p-chloro-xylylene can be prepared as described in the latter patent. Standard deposition techniques are employed wherein one skilled in the art is able to produce thin conformal coatings without pinholes, e.g., less than 500 Angstroms, hereinafter A.
The coated disc is then coated with a lubricant such as the standard 50 centistoke viscosity methyl alkyl silicone which is commercially available as SF I147 50 centistoke from General Electric. The coated discs have a playing life of about I00 plays which is satisfactory for some purposes.
According to the method of the present invention, an applied dielectric coating on a metallized vinyl disc, such as a coating of poly-p-xylylene, can be subsequently hardened by exposing the coated disc to a glow discharge. The conductive disc is exposed to a glow discharge prior to being coated with the standard lubricant. The use of glow discharge techniques for the application of thin films is well known, e.g., US. Pat. No. 3,318,790 entitled, Production of Thin Organic Polymer By Screened Glow Discharge," issued on May 9, 1967. The application of the dielectric coating itself need not be done with glow discharge, e.g., conventional vapor deposition will suffice, as described in the aforementioned US. Pat. No. 3,246,627 or any other method amenable to mass production. The dielectric material, coating thickness, and hardness desired determine the operating parameters of the glow discharge which can be readily detennined by a series of test runs by one skilled in the art.
It was found that exposing a coated video disc to a glow discharge of Hz to 30 KHz, for times greater than 30 seconds, increases the hardness of the coating. The coated video disc is mounted in a vacuum chamber where the glow discharge is to take place. The chamber is then evacuated, preferably to a pressure in the range of l to microns. Then, an ionizing material, e.g., nitrogen, air, etc., is pumped into the chamber to a pressure of from 50 to 1000 microns. A potential of from 600 to 800 volts is applied. The glow discharge increases the degree of crosslinking and the molecular weight of the coating and thus can be successfully employed for hardening most polymeric coatings.
The invention can be further illustrated by the following example, but it is to be understood that the invention is not meant to be limited to the details described therein.
EXAMPLE A vinyl disc, metallized with a gold layer was coated with poly-p-chloro-xylylene. The poly-p-chloroxylylene coating was approximately 470A thick and was applied by vapor deposition, e.g., as described in the aforementioned US. Pat. No. 3,246,627. The coating was capable of about 100 satisfactory plays before a plastic deformation of the poly-p-chloro-xylylene dielectric coating became evident under the pressure of the stylus. Although this number of plays is satisfactory for some purposes, a prolonged record life is desirable as a safety factor.
The video disc coated with poly-p-chloro-xylylene was mounted in a vacuum chamber between two spaced parallel electrodes. The coated disc was placed in contacting relation with one of the electrodes with its coated side facing the other electrode. The chamber was evacuated to a pressure in the range of l to 10 microns and then air was pumped into the chamber to a pressure of about 500 microns. The electrodes were connected to a source of current such that the applied potential during glow discharge was 650 volts.
A 20 KHz current was turned on for ten minutes so as to establish a glow to which the coated side of the disc was uniformly exposed. The disc was taken out of the vacuum and coated with a lubricant such as the aforementioned SF l I47 50 centistoke available from General Electric.
After exposure to the glow discharge and after being coated by the standard lubricant, the video disc was played on a standard player with the picture quality being evaluated by dropout count. No increase in dropout count or visual degradation of the picture was observed for 1200 plays.
We claim:
1. An infonnation storage means of the type wherein capacitance variations are provided to a playback system and said storage means includes a conductive disc having information recorded in the form of geometric variations in the surface thereof, wherein the improvement comprises:
a dielectric coating of hardened poly-p-xylylene on said conductive disc, said coating hardened by exposure to a glow discharge to crosslink said poly-pxylylene after said coating has been completely deposited on said conductive disc, said coating being conformal with said geometric variations.
2. An information storage means in accordance with claim 1 wherein said dielectric coating is poly-p-chloroxylylene.
3. An information storage means in accordance with claim 1 wherein said coating has been hardened by exposure to said glow discharge for at least 30 seconds after said coating has been deposited on said conduc' tive disc.
4. An information storage means in accordance with claim 3 wherein said coating is approximately 500A in thickness.

VIDEO: Liam Hemsworth on the Catching Fire Whipping Scene
He may be out promoting his new movie Paranoia, but Liam Hemsworth also had a chat with MTV about working on Catching Fire.
He explains that he's a big fan of director Francis Lawrence calling him intelligent, well-prepared and relaxed. He also said that getting whipped was "interesting".
The transcript from MTV
"Francis [Lawrence] is—I've been a big fan of him since 'Pleasantville.' I used to watch that movie a long time ago, and then 'I Am Legend.' So I've been a really big fan of his for a while, and I was really excited when he came aboard, and he's exactly the kind of director I want to be working with at this point," Liam said. "He's a great guy. I really enjoyed working with him. He's very intelligent, very well-prepared, relaxed. You feel comfortable with him on set. He's not a manic director. He's not freaking out all the time. It's amazing how much he's taken on his shoulders. He has this whole kind of franchise on his shoulders now. He couldn't be more relaxed about it. But he's so well prepared. I don't know how he does it. Hats off to him."
… "Getting whipped—it was interesting," Liam said of finding the proper mindset for the harrowing scene. "It was weird 'cause we had a couple hundred extras on set, and I spent awhile in makeup getting my back done with all this interesting prosthetics. I think we shot it for about three or four days. I was tied to a pole and screaming and getting whipped, and after awhile, it starts to wear on you a bit—just the yelling and exhaustion of it all. It's an odd thing to turn up to work and get whipped for a few days. For most people."

I am not one to procrastinate – at all. But there's something about drawing up our final will and estate trust that makes me very uncomfortable and admittedly somewhat nervous. I know, I know … my husband and I are really behind the eight ball on this one, which is very unlike us. But to give us some credit, we've been thinking about doing it for years. Alas, the time has come to face our own mortality.
Mortality really isn't the problem, though. I am not afraid to die – at least on the surface speaking about it in vague generalities of "some day I will die." That's not the cause for procrastination. It's the enormous amount of paperwork, red tape and serious thinking that goes into putting together a will and especially a trust and the stressful, thought-provoking questions that arise from it all. Who will be the executor? Who do I want to leave my engagement ring to? Do we make the will for if something were to happen to us tomorrow, or do we make it for farther down the road when we are at a ripe old age? (This one really has me befuddled.)
These don't sound like serious questions until YOU are the one who has to answer them. Then the panic sets in … my palms get sweaty. My throat feels like it's going to close up. My heart is pounding in my chest so loudly I can hear it in my eardrums. Will I make the right decision for all involved? Will I tick off a niece or nephew if I only leave them my Netflix subscription (just kidding guys!)? Who will get my beloved convertible? Will we still want the selected executor to be just that in 30 years? People change, you know. Do we take this into consideration, or not worry about it? These annoying questions keep popping into my head day and night – and I have no clear answers just yet. I don't want to make snap decisions – yet I think you can over-think things like this, too.
My husband and I have worked hard for our money and have made every attempt to be conscientious savers. We don't live extravagantly. So it's only natural that we want some control over what happens to our assets when we die. Experts are telling us that the right strategy depends on our individual circumstances. Herein is the problem. What our circumstances are today, might not be what is best for the future. What if (fill in the blank here) happens? I could go on and on …
We do know one thing -- we want a trust and not just a will. While there is more work and expense involved in putting together a trust, it provides lifetime and after-death wishes to be carried out without court intervention, making it easier on our beneficiaries. It also allows us to avoid probate on our assets – God only knows I've given the government enough of my hard earned money while I am alive, I don't want it to get anymore after I'm gone! Call me stingy, I don't care.
But in making these decisions there is no one-stop-shopping, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Why can't this process be easier? There I go asking more questions. As a co-worker nicely pointed out to me after editing my blog, we really aren't procrastinating. After all, we aren't in our 80s putting together a will. Hmmmm … Good point!
I'd love to hear from you if you've had sleepless nights while putting together your "final wishes" and are willing to share your solutions and suggest things to ponder.

Year in Review: Future looking brighter for Andrew ZWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
It's been a turbulent year for Andrew Zepeda.
After losing his job at 92.5 KISS FM in late 2010, the morning show host spent the first half of 2011 unemployed and stressing about when, where and how he might return to radio.
Since inking a deal in July for a morning radio show on 100.7 The Vibe, the last half of 2011 has gone much better.
"Andrew Z in the Morning: The People's Show" debuted July 18 and airs weekdays from 6-10 a.m. The station recently began playing clips of the morning show along with some new content weekdays from 3-7 p.m. In addition, Zepeda has appeared on WNWO's morning TV show and is in talks with the station to launch his own afternoon TV show as early as January.
"Things are going really well now. So much better," Zepeda said. "I knew that we just had to get back on air … and show that the world isn't going to fall in, people aren't going to be picketing outside. I just needed someone to take a chance and put us on.
"Things are coming back around. It's just mindblowing how quickly it's happened. I thought it was going to take a lot longer. But we're genuine. We really just wear our hearts on our sleeves and we just do it and people have accepted it. Just how quickly it's happened has been a real surprise."
"I feel like we're the little station that could. We're 86 watts; my wife's hairdryer is 150 watts. It's almost like we're a Kia running in the Grand Prix. We're so overperforming of what anyone expected. We've done this for six months now and we've hit our [projected advertising] budget or been above budget every month. It's just been amazing."
Scott Meier, general manager of the Toledo cluster of Cumulus Media radio stations, said he is happy with the show, especially the work ethic of Zepeda and the cast.
"It's been going great. I think it's an incredibly entertaining show," Meier said. "I've worked with a lot of morning shows, some much larger than this one, and these guys work as hard as anyone I've ever worked with."
Zepeda's website had more than 1 million hits in the fourth quarter of 2011 and the station is hoping to increase the size of Zepeda's broadcast area in the future, Meier said. Cumulus, which purchased Citadel Broadcasting Corp. in September, is now the second largest broadcast radio company in the country, behind Clear Channel.
Zepeda lost his job at KISS FM after pleading guilty in November 2010 to three felony charges, including theft, complicity to breaking and entering and failure to remit sales tax, in connection with an October 2010 break-in at his shuttered Perrysburg pizzeria.
On Feb. 4, Zepeda was granted an intervention in lieu of conviction and entered an intervention program for alcohol abuse, which he completed in May. All charges will be cleared from his record if he successfully completes his two-year supervision.
Zepeda's comeback hit an early speed bump when, on July 29, less than two weeks after the debut of his new show, a Wood County judge found Zepeda had violated the terms of his intervention in lieu of conviction by entering establishments where alcohol is served. Judge Alan R. Mayberry scolded Zepeda for "thumbing his nose at the system," but allowed him to continue with the intervention program, warning him another violation would result in a conviction, which could include incarceration.
"It's frustrating," Zepeda said. "Where do you go that doesn't have alcohol? I'm basically on an old person's schedule. I can go to Denny's, I can go to Cracker Barrel, I can go to Bob Evans and I can go to fast food, and that's pretty much it. My wife has to go out by herself. I can't even take my kids to Chuck E. Cheese. But I think overall the judge has been very fair. I'm trying to be good just because I don't want to give him any more headaches."
His co-workers are also committed to keeping him out of trouble.
"Trust me, we're like his babysitters," said Jerry Pickering, aka "Avalanche." "I mean, this is our job. You will make us lose our paycheck if you screw up."
Zepeda said there will always be naysayers, but everyday Toledoans seem to enjoy the show.
"I've been here the shortest amount of time — six years. Everyone else was born and raised here. This show is Toledo and I think people realize that. This is not an elite town by any means and the average person, they love it," Zepeda said. "They feel like they're one of us. Everybody makes mistakes. I think they can relate to us."

Should this be surprising to us? News that Lindsay Lohan is broke has been swirling around for months. She apparently was down half a million in credit card debt, and owed the store Church $17,000. We get the picture… her checking account isn't exactly overflowing.
But L.L has a sense of entitlement about her non-celebrity that just won't go away. She's been shopping around for a lawyer ever since her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley quit last week. And she wants her new lawyer to represent her for free! A source revealed, "Lindsay wants her new attorney to represent her for free. Lindsay doesn't think she should pay for a new lawyer, period. Lindsay has gone through two attorneys already." Her financial situation is also telling, says the source, "The type of lawyers Lindsay is used to having are expensive because they are simply the best at what they do. Lindsay just doesn't have the money that she used to pay for the best. The lawyers she is interviewing wouldn't represent her for free, period."
She's now honed in on super-lawyer Robert Shapiro who is famous for repping folks like the Kardashians and O.J Simpson. Lindsay has now checked into rehab (Stint #4!) at Shapiro's Pickford Lofts facility, which he founded after his son OD'ed in 2005. Seems a bit desperate and disingenuous, dontcha think?

Recently, Billy Walker, a great friend and member of RWTB passed away in an auto accident. For those of you that had the privilage of knowing and training with Billy, he was an inspiration to be around. Every time he came to the school to train, he always motivated us to work harder and be more disciplined. A couple of years ago, Billy stepped away from training and competing to focus on family and to devote his free time to strengthening his relationship with Christ and to help others find the peace that he had found in having a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior. He still remained a strong supporter of the martial arts school and offered his help and well wishes any time we competed or had activities outside the school. I/We will always have fond memories of Billy. Billy was like family to us here at RWTB and we will miss him dearly. Our sincere condolences go out to his wife and two children. May God be with them at this most difficult time. As I write this, I can't help but think that this is one last gift Billy had for us. A reminder that our life here is too short to take for granted. May we live each and every day to the fullest with no regrets and love in our hearts.
Ernest Freeman on behalf of the Family that is RWTB Missouri

There probably weren't any champagne bottles uncorked in the Capitol on Friday, but there's no question that House conservatives saw the arrival of automatic spending cuts known as the sequester as cause for celebration.
For fiscal hawks, these automatic cuts, while imperfect in design, represent the first significant spending reductions they have effected since arriving in Washington. Perhaps more important, the sequester represents a promise kept to them by House leadership, a show of solidarity that could strengthen the still-fragile relationship between leadership and the conservative wing of the conference.
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, made a series of promises to conference members during their mid-January retreat in Williamsburg, Va. The first of these was to uphold the sequester (allowing, of course, for an alternative plan with equal cuts). Boehner extended this assurance, along with several others, in exchange for members approving a temporary extension of the debt limit.
This proposal was met with skepticism by conservative members of the House Republican Conference. Some rejected the debt-ceiling deal but walked away hoping Boehner would keep his promises; others agreed to the extension but openly doubted the speaker's ability to deliver on his end of the bargain. In either case, some conservatives spent the next six weeks expecting the automatic cuts to be delayed or undone — or both.
But late last week, as the reality that the sequester would happen sank in, many former skeptics began to sing a different tune.
"God bless our leadership," gushed Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who crossed the speaker last year when he lobbied conservatives against Boehner's debt-ceiling plan. With these spending cuts going into effect, Jordan said, "Conservatives in this House of Representatives are making a difference. And that's a complete change from what we saw in the last Congress."
What's especially encouraging for these members is the precedent set by Boehner's commitment to upholding the sequester. When Boehner made his promises at the Republican retreat, upholding the March 1 cuts was the first item on a chronological checklist that some members have labeled "The Williamsburg Accord." One of those members, Rep. Tim Huelskamp of Kansas, was so skeptical of leadership keeping its promises that he spent the final days before March 1 still half-expecting the House to cave.
"I talked to some conservatives [Monday] night, and we just never expected that we would even get to point one," Huelskamp said last week. "And here we are."
In other words, the first box has been checked off the conservative wish list. But it won't get any easier from here. The next three steps — passing a new continuing resolution with post-sequester spending levels, passing a budget that balances within a decade, and opposing any tax hikes during the next debt-limit debate — all are fraught with political peril for what remains a very fragile alliance.
Still, as Jordan pointed out, the second item on the conservative checklist already seems within reach. House aides say that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., will accept the continuing resolution with lower spending levels, and President Obama suggested on Friday that he would sign it into law if it meant preventing a government shutdown. With the sequester under their belt, and their preferred funding bill poised to pass both chambers of Congress, that means conservatives could soon be two-for-two.
"If you had said that was going to happen two months ago, we would have said, 'no way,' " Jordan said. "But that's exactly where we're at."
In sports, it's often observed of divided locker rooms that "winning cures everything." Now, for the first time since Republicans took over the House in 2010, conservatives are confident that they are dictating the legislative tempo — and leadership is reaping the benefits of a united front. "We've got the Republican conference unified," said Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho. "We finally have a plan, we have a vision.… If we can stick to this plan, I think the president is going to have a really hard time dividing us."
Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., who was floated by some conservatives as a replacement for Boehner, said leadership has learned valuable lessons from the internal strife of the last Congress. "There's a lot of things that weren't done in the way that were the most productive in the 112th, and the leadership were the first people to admit that," Price said. "I think that they've done their level best to bring about a cohesive conference moving forward. And I don't have any reason to believe that they're not going to fulfill their word."
Even those reliably pessimistic members are showing signs of softening. "It's a first step," Huelskamp said with a smile.

The New York Times' pro football blog informed us today that reporter Peter King told a national audience on NBC's "Football Night in America" yesterday that President Barack Obama recently called Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie to congratulate him on hiring convicted dog killer Michael Vick. Apparently Obama thinks that Lurie did the right thing by offering Vick a second chance in spite of the heinous nature of his crimes.
Given the intense controversy over Vick's crimes, punishment, and apparent redemption of a sort this season, as he has led the Eagles to victories with a performance that has made him a legitimate contender for the NFL's Most Valuable Player, you might think Obama would have been wise to stay out of this fight. After all, a great many Americans love their pets and many will never forgive or forget Vick's abominable and heartless behavior as a promoter of dog fighting.
But there is, apparently, another angle to this story that may explain Obama's willingness to step into a nasty controversy that you might think would do him little good. As the Times' notes, some writers have been asserting that Vick has been treated unfairly both on the field and off it since they think he is a victim of prejudice against African-Americans who have served time in prison. It's hard to fathom how an understandable revulsion against a person who personally tortured and killed dogs can be twisted into being a form of racism. But in a liberal media culture where even the most villainous behavior can be rationalized by turning it into an issue of race, I suppose it was inevitable that Vick, rather than the dogs he murdered, would become the victim of the story. Nor should it be any surprise that someone like President Obama, whose leftist sensibilities are always on display, would embrace that dubious narrative.
Nor is it likely that Obama will suffer for endorsing Vick. While there are some animal-rights or pet-lover votes that might be affected by this bizarre presidential endorsement, they are probably outnumbered by those pro football fans who are impatient with any attempt to inject moral issues into the discussion of their favorite sport. It should also be remembered that there are probably a lot more votes in the battleground state of Pennsylvania to be won by pandering to Eagles fans than there are by catering to the feelings of animal-rights activists.

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Ric Flair has signed a new contract with the WWE, months after he was going to get one before making some mistakes at the SummerSlam weekend which eventually sent him packing back home.
According to the Observer, although Flair is allowed to work outside WWE, future appearances and business deals have to go through WWE from now on and if his presence is requested at a WWE event and it conflicts with a prior non-WWE booking, the WWE event will take preference and he has to cancel his other gig.
The two-time WWE Hall of Famer has appeared several times on WWE television since he left TNA back in 2012, most recently at the January 6 Old School RAW.

Its going to be a very merry Christmas and an extremely happy new year for Billy Hurley III, the former Naval Academy golfer who has finally achieved a lifelong dream to play full time on the PGA Tour.
Hurley, a native of Leesburg, Va., and a 2004 Navy graduate, earned his playing privileges on the tour by finishing 25th on the money list for the 2011 Nationwide Tour season, earning the very last spot available to punch his ticket to the Big Show. Only the top 25 Nationwide finishers get to play on the regular PGA Tour the following season.
Hurley accomplished that feat at the age of 29, and he will instantly become one of the more compelling stories among the rookie class of 2012. After all, how many of his colleagues teeing it up next year can boast of having spent two years on a Navy destroyer protecting oil platforms from terrorist attacks off the Iraq coast.
Hurleys long journey to the tour was completed in the Nationwide Tour Championship on Oct. 30 at the Daniel Island Club near Charleston, S.C. He tied for 18th, punctuated by a birdie at the 72nd hole that provided a 13,040 payday and earned him enough money to finish a comfortable 12,891 ahead of the man who ended up 26th, Brett Wetterich. Hurley had started the week only 3,151 ahead of Wetterich, who imploded on the weekend, shooting 78-81 in the last two rounds and tying or 53rd.
It was a pretty nerve-racking day, Hurley admitted the other day. A lot of things could have happened that would have kept me out of the top 25, but it all worked out in the end.
Hurley finished playing about 90 minutes ahead of the leaders and had to sweat out all manner of heart-fluttering scenarios before he knew his tour card was secure. In the end, when second place finisher Scott Brown saved his par at the 17th hole with a 12-foot putt and then birdied the 18th with a four-footer, Hurleys closest challenger, Swedens David Lingmerth, was unable to finish any better than a tie for third, and could not catch him for the 25th and last spot on the money list. If Lingmerth had finished first or second, Hurley would have been on the outside looking in next season.
Thats a position Hurley had known for far too long after he graduated from the academy. He had a distinguished collegiate career, winning the Byron Nelson Award as the nations top collegiate golfer and earning All-American honors as well. He was a member of the 2005 Walker Cup team, playing with teammates like Anthony Kim, Jeff Overton and J.B. Holmes, all of whom went on to carve out successful careers on the PGA Tour.
But Hurley, as a Naval Academy graduate, had to take another path. He had a five-year military commitment to contend with, and playing golf full-time was hardly compatible with a lifestyle that included being a combat electronics officer aboard a guided missile cruiser, teaching economics at the Academy, and then being stationed for two years at Pearl Harbor and being deployed to the Persian Gulf.
Before being sent there, Hurley had petitioned the Department of the Navy to join the Naval Reserve in lieu of the final two years of his commitment. He was hoping to jumpstart his golf career over those two years, while at the same time serving as a walking, talking recruitment poster for the Navy. However, that request was turned down, and the last two years of his five-year hitch he rarely was able to play after shipping out to sea.
As a civilian, Hurley spent most of the 2010 season trying to get his game back into shape, playing the mini tour circuit and occasionally getting sponsors exemptions into Nationwide or PGA Tour events. Last year, after going through PGA Tour Qualifying School, he had full status on the Nationwide circuit, and obviously made the most of that opportunity by earning 180,191 in official money and that coveted 25th spot on the money list.
Hurley, who lives in Annapolis with his wife Heather and two toddler sons, insists that he has no regrets about how things have turned out, even if so many of his college playing peers got a much better head start to their professional careers.
Im very happy with the way this has all unfolded, he said. I enjoyed my job in the Navy, and if I wasnt playing golf, Id probably still be in the Navy. But the way it turned out really gives me kind of a unique platform. Its a good story, and I plan to share my story. It gives me the opportunity to share my life and my faith and all the things weve built our family around.
Hurley isnt exactly sure when he will make his 2012 debut. Hed like to think it will be in the Sony Open in Hawaii in January, and has applied for a sponsors exemption into the field. Because of his status as the 25th and last man in, he may have some difficulty getting into some fields along the way, competing for spots with Nationwide and tour school graduates. But hes also confident that hell be able to play at lweast 25 events this season, more than enough to give him a chance to keep his playing privileges if he can finish in the top 125 of the money list.
Hurley has plenty of goals on his agenda. Obviously, hed love to win a golf tournament and earn the automatic two-year exemption that goes with it.
If I can do that, everything else will fall into place, he said. My main goal is to try to get in the hunt as much as I can. If I can keep my card, Ill be pretty happy about that. And some rookie has to be rookie of the year. That would be a pretty cool thing, too.
There will be some hard courses for me. Im not the longest guy in the world (he averages about 280 yards off the tee). But some courses my strengths will help me do better. My short game and putting has always been the best part of my game. But I have no doubt that I can compete on the PGA Tour. Right now, its all good. Im a better golfer now than I was a year ago, and as long as I can keep improving, I think Ill be all right.

Gear Review
These shorts are extremely comfortable, and I have to say that I love the fact that the chamois isn't too thick. Some of the shorts I have are too padded and that actually causes more pain and numbness, in my opinion. The fabric is incredible, they're not too long. They're very fitted, so I sized up and it was perfect. I love that there's no sausage leg and the rise is high enough that there's no spillage over the top. My only complaint is that there's a few tags sewn into the lower back. Funny how something so small can be so annoying! I really do not understand why Giordana would sew tags into their shorts. Other than that, they look great and feel great.
Debbie C
You know, I was just out on a rather warm/hot ride yesterday, wearing one of the FR-C custom short sleeved jerseys (totally great) EXCEPT...the stupid tags sewn on the lower side of the jersey kept scratching and bugging me...wish I had had a pair is scissors on board! Will clip off, but funny I was just thinking the same thing. Great jersey, just wicks perspiration away, even while carrying hydratin pack fully loaded. LOVE Giordana...HATE the tags!!!

Funny my neighbor got hers out Friday. She won't stop bugging me. Long story but she dates criminals for real and I won't be around her anymore. ANYWAY, she got them out and like last month everyone told her I was making it up and she'd be just fine. HAHA she's worse off than I am. I know that's horrible to laugh at but she's kind of "different" to put it nicely so the fact that she's in more pain than I was tells you something.

Simpletuition has three goals: to help you understand private loans, teach you what to look for in a private student loan and search for loans that suit your needs. Private student loans (sometimes called "alternative loans") are used expressly for paying for college costs such as tuition, room & board, and other expenses. Private student loans should supplement federal or government student loans. Remember to always maximize your federal financial aid before seeking private loans.

fThree-time Copa Libertadores champions Estudiantes bagged a crucial away goal in their 1-0 win over Uruguayan side Defensor Sporting in a feisty first-leg of their quarter-final tie.
Defender Leandro Desabato netted the decisive goal 12 minutes into the game when he headed home from a free-kick by Juan Sebastian Veron. Shortly after the game erupted as Estudiantes' Marcos Angeleri and Defensor's Jorge Curbelo were both sent off by kicking each other.
Uruguayan coach Jorge Da Silva threw on strike duo Mauro Vila and Alvaro Navarro but it was the visitors who came closest to scoring again when Mauro Boselli's shot came back off the crossbar. "I think we could have scored more goals from some of our counter-attacks, but we took an important step," Desabato said.
"However, we have not won anything yet. We will give our best at home. It will be the most important match of the year for the squad." The second leg will be played in La Plata on 18 June.
Also on Thursday night Uruguayan giants Nacional rescued a valuable 1-1 draw on their visit to Palmeiras in Sao Paulo. After a goalless first half, midfielder Diego Souza opened the scoring with a long range shot in the 55th minute.
But ten minutes from time substitute forward Santiago Garcia equalised after being set up well by Nicolas Lodeiro. Nacional were then reduced to ten men in injury time as defender Roberto Brum was sent off by protesting. He will now not be able to play the second leg on 17 June.

- Camembert For Brie Baker
A Camembert is a soft cows' milk cheese with a furry white rind, and a creamy, pale interior which becomes increasingly yellow as the cheese matures. When fully ripe, Camembert has a pungent, strongly-flavoured and runny interior somewhat similar to the milder Brie. We recommend you bake a Camembert in our Brie Bakers and why not add one of our cheese compotes and some fabulous crackers.

Revenge Season 3, Episode 17 Spoilers: 6 Things We Learn From the Promo (VIDEO)
Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) is out of her marriage to Daniel, but her plan for Revenge isn't going anywhere. So, what can we expect next? The promo for Season 3, Episode 17 ("Addiction") gives us some major clues.
Here's what we've learned by taking a close look at it.
1. Daniel keeps provoking. The promo opens with Emily and Daniel at yet another schmancy Hamptons event. "People are only here to watch the car wreck that you've become," Daniel snarkily tells Emily. Man, remember when he was a nice person? Once upon a time?
2. It's all about gambling! The backdrop for this week's events is a casino night, and throughout the promo we see most of the show's major players in attendance.
3. Emily knows the Grayson's secrets. "I know the Grayson's deepest secrets," Emily tells someone at :06. We're not positive who it is, but we're thinking Pascal. We know she wants to learn more about him, and in the Hamptons, secrets are power.
4. Charlotte getting her romance on. At :07 Charlotte is seen getting close with Nolan's bud Javier.
5. Emily vs. Victoria. Emily vs. Victoria at a game of cards? Yes please. This should be fun,
6. Daniel's threat. "Emily lied to our entire family," Daniel tells Charlotte at :11. "We're going to return the favor and go after her friends." Classy.
Check it out for yourself!

Catch the next episode of Revenge on Sunday, March 30 at its new 10 p.m. ET/PT slot on ABC.

Frank & Albert's at the Biltmore
I have been dining a couple of times a month at Frank & Albert's since it opened about a year and a half ago and have thoroughly enjoyed it until going there for dinner two nights ago. Started with the roasted tomato soup that tasted and had the mouth feel of diluted tomato paste. The meatloaf that I have enjoyed many times was fine but the portion was much smaller than before. One of my companions stopped after two spoons of the soup and was also disappointed with the portion size of the meatloaf. Though uncrowded on a Saturday night the service was listless. And to boot when I got the check the server had added his gratuity without mentioning it to us. I am used to this latter practice for a party of 6 or more but we were only 4. I will go back because I have had so many terrific meals there and sincerely hope my last experience was an abberation. But if this represents the new Frank & Albert's its in serious trouble.
Returned to Frank & Albert's last week because after so many good to great experiences there I did not want to cross it off my list without giving a second chance. This time I ordered the $16 Harris Ranch bacon cheeseburger "rare." It came out medium well. The waitress cheerfully took it back and returned a few minutes later with a tasty rare burger. However the kitchen neglected to put the bacon or the cheese on it. I did not send it back a second time as we were with guests and I did not want to draw attention. The consensus around the table was that the food and service was just OK -- a typical hotel dining experience. Its really a shame as Frank & Albert's really was special when it opened and for a year or so thereafter. Higher prices, smaller portions, and lower quality are a sure fire formula for failure. I will not be back except maybe for happy hour unless and until this place steps it up again to its former glory.0

August 4, 2015
A Brazos County jury has found Travis Carroll, 20, guilty of murder.
The jury deliberated 1 hour and 35 minutes to reach the verdict. The punishment phase is set to begin Friday morning.
Carroll is on trial for the 2011 murder of Billy Joe Menard Junior.
Investigators say Carroll was with two other people at the Wild Oaks Apartment Complex in October of 2011 when Menard was shot and killed, reportedly after a conflict regarding a drug trade.
Police reports say Carroll was downstairs at the time of the shooting but he provided guns to the two other men.
In a past interview with News Three, his family claimed Carroll didn't know Menard was going to be killed.
His two co-defendants are serving prison sentences for the crime.

Ecumenical and interfaith relations suffered some serious blows during 1997, although the year was also marked by a historic agreement between four Protestant denominations. Some churches dealt with dissidents in their ranks through excommunication. Church-state conflicts intensified in the United States and Europe, and increased attention was drawn to the persecution of Christians throughout the world. (For figures on adherents of all religions by continent and on adherents in the U.S., see below.)
The Georgian Orthodox Church withdrew its membership from the World Council of Churches (WCC) in May, claiming that the international ecumenical body failed to take Orthodox interests into account. It was the first time since the WCC was founded in 1948 that an Orthodox church had left the 330-member organization.
Disagreements between Orthodox churches and their ecumenical partners led Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople to boycott the second European Ecumenical Assembly in Graz, Austria, and prompted Russian Orthodox Patriarch Aleksey II to refuse a meeting with Pope John Paul II. In an address in Washington, D.C., in October, Bartholomew stressed the differences between Orthodox and Roman Catholic Christians, saying that "the manner in which we exist has become ontologically different."
A proposed agreement between the 2.5 million-member Episcopal Church and the 5.2 million-member Evangelical Lutheran Church in America was defeated at the ELCA convention in Philadelphia in August. Opposition to the authority of bishops in the Episcopal tradition was a major factor in the defeat of the proposal, but the Lutherans agreed to begin a two-year process of discussion that might lead to a new concordat proposal.
On a more positive note, the ELCA approved a joint declaration with the Roman Catholic Church on the doctrine of justification, saying, "We confess together that all persons depend completely on the saving grace of God for their salvation." Each of the 123 member churches of the Lutheran World Federation was voting independently on the declaration, and the Vatican was continuing to study the document. The ELCA also became the fourth denomination to ratify an agreement to share full communion with three churches in the Reformed tradition--the 3.7 million-member Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the 300,000-member Reformed Church in America, and the 1.5 million-member United Church of Christ. A 1995 decision by the 285,000-member Christian Reformed Church to allow its 47 regional bodies the option of ordaining women as ministers, elders, and evangelists led two smaller bodies--the 278,000-member Presbyterian Church in America and the 22,000-member Orthodox Presbyterian Church--to break fellowship with it in 1997.
As a measure calling on officers to live "in fidelity within the covenant of marriage of a man and a woman or chastity in singleness" took effect in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), its General Assembly in Syracuse, N.Y., adopted a new proposal in June calling on church officers to "demonstrate fidelity and integrity in marriage or singleness, and in all relationships of life." That measure, which would replace the "fidelity and chastity" amendment, then was submitted to presbyteries for approval.
A proposal to recognize same-sex marriages in the Episcopal Church was narrowly rejected by the denomination's General Convention in Philadelphia in July. The convention also apologized to gays and lesbians for what it called "years of rejection and maltreatment by the church." The Germantown (Pa.) Mennonite Church, the oldest Mennonite church in the U.S., was expelled from its regional conference as of 1998, and its pastor, Richard Lichty, was stripped of his clergy status because the congregation had declared its unconditional acceptance of homosexuals.
Dissent among some fundamentalists and conservative evangelicals led the International Bible Society to drop plans for what it called a "gender-accurate" Bible translation in the United States. A report in World, an evangelical magazine published in Asheville, N.C., charging that the translation was motivated by a feminist agenda led to an outcry. Whereas the Bible Society said that the report was inaccurate, its president, Lars Dunberg, said the organization had concluded that to move ahead with the translation "would cause division within the body of Christ."
In March the 600-member Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada proclaimed that the Conservative and Reform movements "are not Judaism at all." The edict took the two rival movements to task for condoning interfaith marriages and homosexuality and asserted that conversions to Judaism within those movements were not valid. The Rabbinical Council of America, an organization of about 1,000 Orthodox rabbis, said that the smaller group's declaration "does not reflect the sentiments of mainstream Orthodox Jewish thought since it implies the disenfranchisement of Jews as Jews."
In the interfaith sphere, the Roman Catholic Church made several gestures toward the Jewish people in 1997, including Pope John Paul II's condemnation of anti-Semitic interpretations of the New Testament and his hailing of the Jews as the people who gave Jesus Christ to all mankind. On the negative side, Southern Baptists and Jews exchanged angry letters prompted by concerns about a 1996 resolution urging Southern Baptists to renew their emphasis on witnessing to Jews.
The Vatican's chief doctrinal overseer, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, told a French publication in March that Buddhism is "an erotic spirituality" that poses a challenge to the church. However, the Dalai Lama preached from the pulpit in the Washington National Cathedral in April and declared that "all major religious traditions carry basically the same message--that is, love, compassion and forgiveness." And a Buddhist temple in Cambodia agreed to be host of the tomb of a Catholic bishop who died in 1977 in a Khmer Rouge labour camp.
The Rev. Tissa Balasuriya, a Sri Lankan Oblate priest, was excommunicated by the Vatican in January because of his positions on original sin, papal infallibility, Mary, and Christ's role in salvation. Objections to his book Mary and Human Liberation (1990) figured prominently in the action, which Balasuriya described as "the most severe treatment of a Catholic theologian since Vatican II."
Gleb Yakunin, who was defrocked as a Russian Orthodox priest in 1993, was formally excommunicated in February, as was Patriarch Filaret, the leader of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church. Yakunin was expelled for supporting the Ukrainian and Estonian Orthodox churches in their bid to split from the Russian Orthodox Patriarchate. After Russian Pres. Boris Yeltsin vetoed a bill to restrict the influence of non-Orthodox Christians in Russia, the Russian parliament passed a similar bill in September that Yeltsin signed.
The Russian moves to restrict some churches were among situations cited in an 83-page U.S. State Department report on the persecution of Christians around the world. The report highlighted China as one of the leading offenders and described Saudi Arabia as a country where "freedom of religion does not exist."
In a 6-3 ruling in June, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the four-year-old Religious Freedom Restoration Act, saying that Congress had overstepped its bounds in enacting the measure in response to a 1990 Supreme Court ruling that curtailed protections for religious practice. Two months after the ruling, U.S. Pres. Bill Clinton issued a set of guidelines to "clarify and reinforce the right of religious expression in the federal workplace." On another church-state matter, the high court ruled 5-4 to reverse a 12-year-old decision forbidding publicly financed teachers to tutor children in religious schools. The 1985 ruling, Aguilar v. Felton, had concluded that allowing public employees to work within religious schools would advance religion, but the 1997 Agostini v. Felton decision said government programs do not impermissibly advance religion where they create no financial incentives to religious activity.
In January the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit declared that it is unconstitutional for government officials to tape-record a sacramental confession to a priest by a prisoner. In March the House of Representatives declared that displays of the Ten Commandments should be permitted in government offices and courthouses because they are "a declaration of fundamental principles that are the cornerstone of a fair and just society."
Forty U.S. Orthodox, Protestant, and Roman Catholic leaders issued a statement in July declaring that court rulings have denied the concept of moral truths and given people motivated by religion the status of second-class citizens. The statement cited the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that struck down state abortion laws as a prime example.
Legal restrictions in Germany against the Church of Scientology were criticized in the U.S. State Department's annual survey of human rights around the world. Earlier, 34 prominent Americans from the entertainment industry had compared the restrictions to the way Germany treated Jews in the 1930s. In June the German government announced that for a year the church would be under nationwide surveillance, including the possibility of tapped telephones and intercepted mail.
German officials' assertions that Scientology is more of a dangerous cult than a real religion were paralleled by a 600-page report by the Belgian Parliamentary Commission on Cults that applied the label to 189 religious groups. In March the State Secretariat for Cults in Romania barred construction permits for any place of worship not affiliated with one of the 16 religious groups recognized by the state.
Concern about fringe religious movements was heightened in March with the suicide of 39 members of the Heaven's Gate group in a mansion in a suburb of San Diego. Marshall Applewhite, a Presbyterian minister's son who was a cofounder of the group, had constructed a religion that blended elements of Christianity, Gnosticism, theosophy, and a belief in extraterrestrial life. Members of the group believed that they were aliens who had been planted on Earth by a UFO, and that through a mixture of drugs, alcohol, and suffocation, they would be transported to a spacecraft hiding behind the Comet Hale-Bopp. (See Special Report.)
Several observers of religious movements considered Heaven's Gate to be an example of a preoccupation with apocalyptic prophecies in connection with the coming of a new millennium. Stephen O'Leary of the University of Southern California, cofounder of the Center for Millennial Studies, predicted that "there will be more bizarre incidents and gruesome deaths in anticipation of prophetic fulfillment or in the aftermath of apocalyptic disappointment." In the most publicized religious gathering of the year, hundreds of thousands of men assembled on the Mall in Washington, D.C., in October under the auspices of Promise Keepers, a Christian men's group founded in 1990. The movement stressed reconciliation across denominational and racial boundaries as well as the need for men to practice spiritual, moral, ethical, and sexual purity. Its emphasis on male leadership in family life led the National Organization of for Women to call it "the greatest danger to women's rights."
Prophetic fulfillment was the theme of The Bible Code (1997), a best-selling book by Michael Drosnin that described the discovery of a code in the text of the Hebrew Bible that contains hidden predictions. The book claimed that the code contains specific references to such events as the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, the Oklahoma City, Okla., bombing, and most of the major historical events of the 20th century. Israeli mathematician Eliyahu Rips, whose discovery was the basis of the book, repudiated Drosnin's use of his method to allegedly find predictions of specific events.
A more mainstream religious book that also sold well was Just as I Am (1997), the memoirs of evangelist Billy Graham, who turned 79 in November. Another of the century's towering religious figures, Mother Teresa, the Nobel Prize-winning founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity, died in September in Calcutta, where for decades she had fed and ministered to the poorest of the city's people. (See OBITUARIES.) Pandurang Shastri Athavale, a Hindu who founded a self-help movement for poor villagers in India, was the 1997 winner of the $1.2 million Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion. Athavale's swadhyaya, or "self-study," movement was estimated to have reached 20 million people in 100,000 villages with its teachings that inner divinity can enable people to overcome self-hatred, prejudice, and the misery of poverty.
Another saga that reflected the year's religious ferment was the conversion to Islam of Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr. (now Benjamin Chavis Muhammad), former executive director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He had been ordained to the ministry of the United Church of Christ (UCC) in 1980 and sought to retain that status after joining the Nation of Islam, declaring that "the God who called me into the Christian church is the same God who is calling me into the Nation of Islam." A regional panel of the UCC disagreed, however, stating that he had joined "another faith" and therefore had to forfeit his UCC clergy status.

Dr. Robert Krueger began teaching at Concordia in 2001 and became the chair of the Department of Mathematics in 2005. Krueger offers not only an expert knowledge of mathematics to Concordia students, he also strives to make each student's experience as rewarding as possible. Krueger is a central advocate of mentoring and leadership. He created and directed the First-Year Seminar Program, which trains faculty and student leaders to foster mentor relationships with students. He also advises the Tri-Pi math club, which annually hosts the Homecoming Dodgeball Tournament and the Tri-Pi Game Night. These large service events are designed to enhance the organizational skills of the club members while building community among Concordia students.
Staying ahead of changes in the field, Krueger has worked to revise the Math and Math Education curriculums at Concordia. Krueger has a particular interest in financial literacy and has made presentations to groups of local high school students about the importance of budgeting, investing and understanding credit. As chair of the Faculty Senate, Krueger also works to keep faculty members involved in workshops and has won numerous grants for student and faculty advancement.
Financial literacy, financial mathematics, difference equations, leadership, student success
"My career highlight is seeing former students who I mentored through the undergraduate math major go on to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics or other related fields and become college professors themselves."
Dr. Dan Maroncelli joined the mathematics department at Concordia in the fall of 2013. Prior to joining the faculty at Concordia, Dr. Maroncelli taught for 4 years as a teaching assistant at North Carolina State University. Teaching is truly one of Dr. Maroncelli's greatest passions and he is very committed to providing high quality instruction for his students. To do so, he is continually looking to refine and improve his teaching techniques and philosophy. Currently, Dr. Maroncelli is a Project NExT fellow. Project NExT is a professional development program of the Mathematical Association of America designed for new and recent Ph.D graduates in the mathematical sciences. It addresses all aspects of the academic career: improving the teaching and learning of mathematics, engaging in research and scholarship, and participating in professional activities'. He has really enjoyed his time as a fellow and is excited about using his experiences in the program to improve his instruction in the classroom.
Dr. Maroncelli's general research is in the area of analysis, ordinary differential equations, and difference equations. More specifically, the study of the existence of solutions to nonlinear boundary value problems in continuous, discrete, and impulsive systems. Boundary value problems occur naturally in applications to science and engineering. Such is the case for many problems arising from the analysis of elastic beams, vibrations of plates and shells, electric power networks, and telecommunication lines, to name a few. Currently, his work is focused on obtaining existence results for very general classes of differential systems; for these classes, there are very few known results. Dr. Maroncelli is also actively involved in research with undergraduates and enjoys taking students to the annual Pi Mu Epsilon conference so that students have the opportunity to not only see relevant mathematics from their peers, but share their research ideas.
In his free time, Dr. Maroncelli enjoys playing with his two children, Donovan and Isabella, and working on renovation projects around the house with his wife Hailey.
Assistant Professor Dr. Mong-Lin (Mary Ann) Yang joined Concordia's science faculty in 2011. Dr. Yang leads CSP's undergraduate research program, which conducts cutting-edge research in the field of biology that is rare at the undergraduate level. Current research and applied projects include: development of mesoporous silica-based nanofiber scaffold for nerve tissue engineering; testing the presence of malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (MLYCD) in patient fibroblast lysate and serum using western blot and ELISA; purification of keratan sulfate for detection of Morquio Syndrome; and development of an interactive, electronic, multimedia consent form with built-in accessibility for patients who are visually and/or hearing impaired.
Prior to joining the faculty at Concordia Dr. Yang spent two years as a research scientist in the upon earning her doctorate degree from the University of Illinois. While a graduate student she taught both undergraduate and graduate classes, fueling her passion for teaching. Her graduate work involved studying the molecular mechanism leading to Parkinson's disease, and her industry position was in development of alternative feedstock and renewable energy sources. Dr. Yang continued to co-advise several undergraduate research projects while working as a research scientist in the industry sector.
Dr. Yang enjoys discussing research ideas with people from all around the world. Her lab collaborates with Chung-Yuan Christina University, Augsburg College, University of Minnesota, and the Mayo Clinic. Her recent publications can be found in Journal of Material Chemistry B, Journal of Neuroscience, the Molecular Neurodegeneration and Molecular Mechanisms in Parkinson's Disease. When not in the office, she finds joy in snapping photos of her kids, serving her church, cooking, and traveling with her family and friends.

clairerobi wrote:Cookie and others - One more thing that I forgot to mention is that my regular OB's office doesn't have Level 2 ultrasounds which is another reason he wanted me to see the MFM (I live in Atlanta, GA). At 20 weeks, the MFM checked at my uterine blood flow (done with a Level 2 ultrasound) and she saw "notching" which is decreased blood flow to the placenta. Since the theory that preeclampsia involves issues w/ the implantation of the placenta, they suspected that I also had notching w/ my first pregnancy but we didn't know to monitor. My doctors thought the daily baby aspirin would greatly improve my blood flow to the placenta and baby. I actually started taking the baby aspirin months before getting pregnant. My notching never progressed past 'mild' (I think once it is severe, they put you on bed rest) but I definitely took things a lot slower this pregnancy and tried to be off my feet more later in the day and at night to help with my blood flow.
Another reason why I think it is so important to be seen by a MFM too if your OB can't do this type of ultrasound in their office. My MFM and OB happen to be old friends. I really think having good communication between all of us was key to this 2nd successful pregnancy.
Good luck!!
