|Oocyte mitochondrial bioenergy potential and oxidative stress: within-/between-subject, in vivo versus in vitro maturation, and age-related variations in a sheep model.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22260855 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|OBJECTIVE: To analyze within-/between-subject, in vivo versus in vitro maturation (IVM), and age-related variations of mitochondrial (mt) bioenergy potential and oxidative status of metaphase II (MII) oocytes recovered from hormonally stimulated sheep. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: Academic basic research laboratory. SUBJECT(S): Ten adult ewes. INTERVENTION(S): Estrus synchronization, controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH), ovariohysterectomy; follicular and oviductal oocyte retrieval; IVM of follicular oocytes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Mean ± SD, within-subject (CV(w)) and between-subject (CV(b)) variation coefficients of mt activity, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and mt/ROS colocalization in sheep oocytes from young and aged donors and matured in vivo (in vivo MIIs) or in vitro (IVM MIIs). RESULT(S): Within- and between-subject, in vivo versus IVM, and age-related variations of mt activity were observed in MII oocytes from hormonally stimulated donor sheep. ROS levels increased significantly in oocytes from aged donors. Mt-ROS colocalization was consistently higher in in vivo MIIs compared with IVM MIIs. Oviductal energy/antioxidant ability is influenced by COH. CONCLUSION(S): Oocyte energy/oxidative status is affected by within-/between-subject, in vivo versus IVM, and age-related variations. Mt/ROS colocalization is a reliable marker of in vivo MII oocytes.

Earth Banners
* Custom Sizes
* Vinyl or Fabric Banners
Bring a global perspective to your event with custom Earth banners. Let the Earth's desert sink into the seas of black space and ripple its colors on the dark surface of the ocean. Cradle it in your palms and nurture life on this fragile planet. Let children dance around the globe, running in colorful circles
on custom banners. Whether you want to float confetti of every color on the Earth's oceans and leave its land masses pure white or bring relief to Europe, these custom Earth banners leave the continents where they're supposed to be and surround them with navy seas and blue skies. Put the Earth on a silver heart balloon and float it just above the surface of the ocean. Give each continent a different color and let them fit together in a harmony of hues. Wrap the Earth in a pastel neon aura and put it in a blue teardrop.
Wrap a leaf around an aqua globe and let forest green trees spring up on angles of rotation. Watch the sun rise over the golden textured surface of the Earth and leave it in a wave of silver. Embrace a golden sunrise from a dark mountain top and carve the Earth onto a green apple. With aqua continents in teal seas and the Earth in matrixes of black and turquoise, spinning with arcs of lasers, these custom Earth themed banners put brilliant white light behind it in deep space and lightning in blue skies spiraling toward the center of a cone shell. Look to the heavens from the comforting shelter of Earth.

Texas Rangers sign first-round draft choice
Right-hander Luis Ortiz, the Rangers' first pick in the amateur draft, agreed to his first professional contract on Wednesday. He received two immediate benefits: a $1.75-million signing bonus and the chance to work with pitching coaches from here on out.
"I've never really had a pitching coach,'' Ortiz said.
Ortiz will join the rookie level Arizona League team in Surprise, Ariz., after graduating from Sanger, Calif., High School on Saturday. The Rangers will gradually build up innings with Ortiz, who missed three weeks in the spring because of forearm soreness.
"It's my job now,'' Ortiz said. "I'm ready to go play professional baseball.''
Ortiz has an idea of what to expect. He has worked out with former Rangers right-hander Matt Garza, a fellow resident of the Fresno area. Garza helped re-shape Ortiz from a doughy 250-pounder to his current, more muscular 215-pound frame.
"He taught me a lot about the steps and how to handle failure,'' Ortiz said.
Ortiz' signing bonus was $15,000 less than the assigned value for the 30th overall choice, as determined by Major League Baseball.

Arevalo Studio: Mole Architects
This painting studio is located behind a tall conifer screen, in the divide between a domestic lawn and an apple orchard at the bottom of a Cambridge garden
The client looked at prefabricated studio buildings, and wanted Mole Architects to produce a building for the same cost – but with soul.
The timber frame building sits on a steel ring beam, avoiding the need for costly foundations, and is lined with painted plywood to floors and walls. It is clad externally with Onduline bitumen-impregnated fibre sheeting and recycled plastic sheet cladding. Glazing is framed flush in the wall and roof. Doors at either end open for ventilation.
Project: Arévalo Studio, Cambridge
Architect: Mole Architects
Cost: £32,000

CHICAGO -- The Columbus Blue Jackets went through their first morning skate without Scott Arniel as their head coach on Tuesday at the United Center, as they prepared to play the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night.
Not much was different with assistant Todd Richards at the helm -- other than maligned center Derick Brassard moved back to the top line with Vinny Prospal and Rick Nash -- but there was an overall sense of responsibility being taken by players for what happened.
"This one's really hitting home," forward Derek Dorsett said. "(Arniel) taught me a lot, and he's a guy that put everything he had into it and just for some reason he couldn't get this group to click. It's a business and we all have to be professional about it and move on, but at the same time we've got to realize that we are part of the problem and we have to get our game back on straight -- and that's everyone individually, myself included."
The Blue Jackets have lost two out of the first three games on their current four-game road trip and have a 4-9-2 record in their last 15 games. They've also got just two players in the positive of the plus-minus rating category and have allowed 38 more goals than they've scored.
Columbus has also dealt with a suspension to top defenseman James Wisniewski and a slew of injuries to start the season that have all hampered the effort through the first half. Wisniewski (ankle) and top-line center Jeff Carter (shoulder) are among the injured currently, and it's Carter's second ailment of the season.
It just seems to keep getting worse for the guys in blue, and now their coach has now been fired on top of it all.
"Anytime someone gets fired or traded, you never want to see that kind of stuff," Dorsett said. "We had Wiz suspended at the start of the year, we had (Carter) hurt and we ran into some injury problems and things weren't going our way. Then the snowball just started rolling down the hill and it just kept getting bigger and bigger. We kind of dug our way out of it, and then we hit some adversity and the snowball started getting bigger and bigger again. It's definitely a disappointing year and not one guy in this room's happy about it."
Richards, who was fired as the Minnesota Wild's head coach last season, backed up that sentiment and said the past day or two was tough on the entire team -- including himself. Richards actually had a chance to speak with Arniel and relate his own experience of being let go with him.
"The last 48 hours or 24 hours have been really tough on everyone," Richards said. "It's no different with me or everyone that's involved. When you're around somebody and you have respect for somebody, for how he was professionally and personally, when something like this happens it affects everyone. We've all felt the same way. That's why the last 24 hours have been difficult. It's been difficult on everyone."
What's left to do, however, is moving forward and still trying to correct the issues that have plagued this team over the first 41 games. There is still an entire second half of the season left to figure out a winning formula -- starting on Tuesday night against the Blackhawks, who ought to be hungry to stop a four-game skid of their own.
"The best way to do it is just start off on a winning note against a really good team here in Chicago," Blue Jackets forward Jared Boll said. "That's kind of the best way to turn the page is to get a win on the road versus a good team. As a player, it's tough to see a coach get let go, because you feel like it's your fault. You never want to see that happen. It can kind of spark a team to kind of look in the mirror and say, 'Hey, start picking it up,' and that's what we've got to do."

Also, it should be noted that all Wild Turkey products under 100 proof are chill filtered. All products above 100 are not chill filtered.
I believe that too much flavor has been lost in the under 100 proof versions. For less money I will stick with my regular WT rye.

I have nothing good or bad to say about this rye...I am indifferent to it. I thought it was very light and grassy...not bad, but not worth the money...the 101 has much more flavor IMO. In a conversation I had with 'someone' from Sazerac they described the Russel's Reserve as "pedestrian"...I thought that was the perfect adjective to describe this non-descript rye.

"A person can work up a mean, mean thirst after a hard day of nothing much at all . . . "
The article states an MSRP of $24.99, but it's around $30 or more in my neck of the woods. I don't know whether it's understocking or the attractiveness of the current (soon to be former) bottle, but this RR stuff always seems to fly off the shelves around here while the Rare Breed and the KS languish.
"A person can work up a mean, mean thirst after a hard day of nothing much at all . . . "
That's the third redesign for the bourbon and second for the rye. I think they've found their niche (hint: it's not us) and now they're zeroing in on it. For one thing, you'll look in vain for the words "Wild Turkey." Russell's Reserve is now a brand in its own right.
I find the rye pretty similar to the Beam (ri)1, and a good alternative at $25 v. $45.

With Frozen Hearth Immanitas Entertainment is looking to shake up the world of strategy games later on this year. With an enticing storyline set in an original Dark Fantasy world, the game combines fast-paced RTS action reminiscent of League of Legends with RPG elements, allowing players to improve and customise their characters. Players take control of a hero of the bellicose Danaan peoples and jump right into the action. The Danaan homelands are being threatened by strange ice demons who are transforming everything into an ice desert. Being confronted by such an overwhelming enemy force the Danaan's only hope of survival is flight. Using their tactical cunning players must build and command their forces, train heroes and use dozens of skills, spells and items. The game is split into 3 Acts with 18 varied missions which can also be played co-operatively with other players. Beyond the story experience strategy fans will also be able to jump into frantic and epic multiplayer battles.
Epiphany Games Describes some of the MOD tools that are in the Pipeline for Frozen Hearth
Posted by EpiphanyGames on Oct 26th, 2012
As MOD DB is a community for players who want to mod games, we decided to show the MOD DB community what Epiphany has in the pipeline for Frozen Hearth, and what we have developed.
From day one of development we intended Frozen Hearth to be a modifiable RTS, this is one of the core features that we worked on. The game itself lends itself to modification from the addition of new races to new game-play, MODs are part of the framework. Sure we do have most of the game logic itself in C++ and this is because its required really, but we used LUA for large amounts of data and scripting.
We also created a tool for entering and adjusting data this is called Hydra, a really cool product in its own right which will leave game designers salivating at the power it provides. Hydra will enable game designers to adjust unit stats, create new spells that use existing hooked up C++ functions and enter text for "Scenario type game types".
These tools, as described are intended on being given to the community. We set out to build and RTS that we wanted to play, and these tools are a part of it. Epiphany Games is wants true community participation in all our titles. We are however a small team so it does take us time but I think everyone who mods games will like our tools.

Vita's Blog: Olympics and 'relaxation' time
Time ticks on and as I start to tick more and more tasks off the massive white list on my pin-board, and more and more garments are finished and hung on the rail, there is a palpable excitement as the collection comes together – you can see the transformation on the rail and it's exciting to think that in only a few weeks time, these clothes will be swaying down the runway.
Working and living in London during the Olympics has been surprisingly easy. I'd anticipated great delays and frustration getting to work but luckily I don't live too far, and the overground doesn't seem to be much affected. When the sun came out in that week, a couple of days I got waylaid at Shoreditch House on the way to the overground, watching members' beach volleyball in the pool.
But mainly each night after the studio closes I'm straight back home, hand stitching in front of the TV, sketching out ideas for next season, or cooking, which is how I relax. My garden is overgrown though, and my friends probably think I've disappeared, but to be honest, I'm just happy to be so focussed and working on something so exciting.
Chilled out suppers at home with friends is so important thought, no matter how hard I'm working, so I try and fit that in and swap stories on what we're up to. I spent a few days in beautiful Cornwall, when the sun was out, on long coastal walks – we came across wild ponies and sunbathed on rocks by the sea. That was lovely! But even then, I found time to sit in the shade of a tree, stitching piping trim onto dupion silk to while away the afternoon.

March 2008
Released: 2007, Massacre Records/Sound Pollution
Rating: 1.0/5
Reviewer: Anders Sandvall
This German act is fronted by Stephanie Luzie who also sings in Darkwell. Atargatis started out in 1997 and released an EP two years later, finally putting out their debut WASTELAND in 2006. Matthias Hechler (Crematory), Thomas Helm (Noekk, Empyrium) and Tialupa (ex- Junge, Sinfonic Berlin) make guest appearances on this melodic gothic album. Luzie takes care of most of the lead vocals, sometimes handing the duty over to Lornhold and they both create a mystical atmosphere with their voices. The musical landscape the band and producer have built is very grand and epic with orchestral parts and violin passages, but at the same time it feels like the band has trouble deciding if they want to be a gothic melodic band or a strictly symphonic metal opera act.
Luzie lacks the capacity to keep the numerous symphonic opera parts alive with her voice, which makes the album an epic failure. There are musical similarities with Nightwish but with the exception that Luzie can't handle the music like Anette Olzon or Tarja Turunen. It feels like the album lacks joy and passion and it just feels very uninspired overall.
As you can see, I don't have many positive things to write about this album. I want to hear more dedication and a little more passion and better songs - then it might make NOVA more bearable.

By Wednesday morning, the highest bid stood at $24,300. In the end, 41 bidders drove the price to nearly $1 million.
Whether the unknown seller will actually pay that amount is not clear.

"Forget Freddy, Jason (and) Meyers," the mask's seller says on eBay.
The seller, who goes by the username prophunter, claims to be based in Los Angeles.
According to the seller, nine such masks were made for a parody video. The mask for sale is numbered six of nine pieces.
"No matter what your opinion of the trial is, this is still one heck of a conversation piece," writes prophunter.
And in case you were wondering about size, prophunter says the mask "fits most heads sizes comfortably."

Healthy Girl's Pancakes
Yesterday at the market, I couldn't help but succumb to the seller's yells offering everyone to buy huge bags of bananas at a bargain price. I don't know about markets in other parts of the world, but in The Netherlands they sure know how to conduct business...even at the local markets! They are not shy and their calls are hard to ignore. Especially when they offer you a free pineapple with your strawberries or a bag of bananas which is a little too ripe but surely you can't turn down.
So off I walked yesterday, once again with double of what I had planned on buying. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not complaining. Just like baking gives me that domestic-goddessy feeling in the winter, a kitchen filled with beautiful fruit does the same in the summer. I come home, neatly arrange all my goodies in little bowls and enjoy the way their aromas permeate through the house. Especially rewarding, is presenting a nice bowl of fresh fruit to my family for dessert or thinking up of nice things to make with the fruit.
I'm a bit of a health nut so I'm constantly tinkering with recipes or dreaming up ideas of how to make things a little more healthy. I try to use whole wheat flour in most of my baked goods and I'm known to sneak in fruits and vegetables just about everywhere. Kirstie is a breakfast girl and every weekend she looks forward to something more exciting than her usual spelt flakes. The child loves pancakes, waffles, croissants, eggs, etc., etc., etc., so for today's treat I decided to make her some whole wheat banana pancakes using some of the bananas I had bought at the market yesterday. They came out perfect. Delicately sweet and very light. A delicious way for a little one to start a lazy Sunday morning.
Here's the recipe:
Healthy Girl's Pancakes
*1 egg
*200ml milk
*150g whole wheat flour
*2 very ripe mashed bananas
*2 tsps baking powder
*pinch of salt
*1 tsp coconut extract (optional, but I love the way it seems to bring the sweetness of the bananas to life!)
*knob of butter
*extra fruit to serve and perhaps a drizzle of Golden Syrup
In a bowl, beat milk, egg and extract. In a separate bowl, mash bananas. Add this to milk mix and beat again. Sift flour, baking powder and salt over the wet ingredients and beat a last time. Let stand for five minutes and fry the pancakes in a little butter, 50 ml at a time, and 4-5 minutes per side. Serve warm with fruit and syrup. Enough for 8 pancakes.

|A physiotherapist-delivered, combined exercise and pain coping skills training intervention for individuals with knee osteoarthritis: A pilot study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22921688 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is associated with a number of physical and psychological impairments. Unfortunately, very few treatment strategies are capable of addressing both types of impairments concurrently. We performed a pilot, randomized controlled, proof of principle trial investigating the feasibility and effects of an intervention combining physical exercise and pain coping skills training (PCST). METHODS: Twenty patients with a clinical and radiographical diagnosis of tibiofemoral OA were randomized to receive either 10weeks of physiotherapist supervised exercises (lower limb strengthening and walking) combined with non-directive counseling (NDC) or the same exercise program delivered concurrently with PCST. Primary outcomes included self-reported pain and pain coping, while secondary outcomes included self efficacy and self-reported physical function. RESULTS: Ten participants were randomized to each group and both groups exhibited significant improvements in isometric knee strength, self-reported knee pain and physical function, self efficacy for control of pain management and other arthritis symptoms. Only those in the exercise+PCST group reported statistically significant improvements in pain control coping and rational thinking. No between-group differences existed in any outcome (0.07<p<0.98). Based on our findings, 63 participants per group would be needed for future large-scale studies using similar outcome measures and design. CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that an intervention that combines exercise and PCST within the same treatment session and delivered by specially-trained physiotherapists is feasible and can improve both physical and psychological outcomes in individuals with knee OA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II Clinical Trials Registry number: ACTRN12609000623291.

Ford City holds lines on taxes
FORD CITY — Borough officials hope the second time will be the charm for the borough's 2013 budget.
Thanks largely to concessions made by the fire and police departments, five of six council members voted during a special meeting on Monday night to approve the advertisement of a second draft of the borough's tax ordinance with millage remaining at last year's rate of 16.65 mills.
Council initially signed off on a 1.5-mill tax increase when the budget was approved in December, but Mayor Marc Mantini vetoed the ordinance in early January and council then came one vote shy of overturning the veto during a meeting earlier this month. A finance committee saddled with the task of cutting $42,000 — or the difference of the tax increase — reportedly found a way to make it work at no additional expense to residents.
The fire department agreed to reassign half of a mill designated for "fire equipment tax" to the general fund for this year only, dropping the department's funding from about $72,000 to about $30,000. And although the police department was slated to purchase a new car this year, that won't happen now.
"I want to thank the protective services — the fire department and police department — for sacrifices they made for taxpayers," said Mantini.
In addition, parking meter repairs originally approved for payment in 2013 have been removed from the budget and all winter maintenance supplies for this year were reassigned to the Highway Aid Fund. Council president Lou Vergari said due to changes, the only road construction the borough can likely afford in the immediate future will be on alleys and the business district because of funds designated from a county grant.
Council member Jerry Miklos was the lone opponent to advertising the second draft of the budget.
"I still don't think it's good enough," he said. "I think we can do better."
Still, Vergari expressed cautious optimism.
"We'll make it," he said. "It would be nice to have some cushion because you don't know how tight things can get… The piggy bank is getting pretty thin right now. May the whole town stay away from trouble."
Council will discuss and potentially vote on the amended budget during its next meeting on Feb. 11. The budget is due on Feb. 15.
In other news:
• Council voted to release borough engineer Gregory Scott of Buchart Horn Inc. and appointed James S. Garvin Jr. of Garvin Engineering & Municipal Management to the position.
• Council approved the sale of the old gas station at the bottom of Ford City Hill across from the Falcons Club. The new owner has said the building there will be demolished and a parking lot will be built with the potential for future construction considerations.

Blog: A community's response planned to address heroin crisis
To combat McHenry County's ongoing heroin problem, Centegra Health System and other agencies are working together to curb the drug's use in the county. The McHenry County Substance Abuse Coalition invites everyone to be a part of the solution. A community meeting will be conducted from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 16 in the McHenry County College auditorium.
From July 2012 to June 2013, more patients were admitted for heroin use than any other drug, including alcohol. One-hundred forty-two of the 423 adults who came in for substance abuse tested positive for heroin, followed by 121 for alcohol, 66 for marijuana, and 60 for "other hallucinogens."
To provide information about illegal drug activity, people can contact their local police agency or the McHenry County Sheriff at 815-338-2155. Anonymous tips can be provided to Crime Stoppers of McHenry County at 1-800-762-7867. The Oct. 16 meeting is open to the public.
The Oct. 16 presentation would not be possible without the support of the following:
- 22nd Judicial Circuit Family Violence Coordinating Council
- H.E.A.T. (Heroin Enforcement Arrest Taskforce) – McHenry County Sheriff's Office
- 22nd Judicial Circuit Special Courts

|Antioxidant and oligonutrient status, distribution of amino acids, muscle damage, inflammation, and evaluation of renal function in elite rugby players.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23089708 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Abstract Background: Our study investigated the biochemical and anthropometric characteristics in elite athletes of rugby union based in the south of France during the different periods of the competition to identify metabolic and biochemical adaptations to particular lifestyle conditions. Methods: Participants included 35 players in 2008 and 43 players in 2009. Biochemical variables [creatinine, uric acid, creatine kinase (CK), alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, C-reactive protein] were evaluated. Specific protein levels (albumin, acid α-glycoprotein, prealbumin), vitamins (A, E, C), antioxidant enzymes [glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD)], oligoelements (Zn, Se, Cu, erythrocyte magnesium), homocysteine (Hcy), carnitine and the distribution of amino acids were specifically determined for our study during a pre-competition period (September 2008 and 2009). Results: Globally, no deficit was observed for vitamins, oligonutrients and amino acids levels. The high SOD and GPx activities in rugby players suggest a presence of oxidative stress of exercise. The evaluation of renal function should be used with caution because of the interaction between creatinine and lean body mass. In addition, a profound effect of intense exercise on the CK values was reported to establish specific reference values for athletes. The analysis of the biological variation allows optimization of the interpretation of the changes from an increased or decreased baseline value from a season to the other one. Conclusions: The conclusions of present study were: 1) the necessity of rugby-specific reference intervals for CK and creatinine parameters; 2) the use of enzymatic creatinine for Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) and CKD-EPI, or cystatin C to improve glomerular filtration rate estimation; 3) to take into account the oxidative stress testifying of a bad recovery; and 4) better to take care the nutritional status of the players by adapting needs and amino acids supplementations but also to consider a follow-up of oxidative stress and antioxidants according our results.

If you live in a multi-tenant apartment building, you know you can't underestimate the importance of having a secured locking mailbox for your letters and parcels. You cannot risk important documents landing on the wrong hands. This is primarily the reason why apartment mailboxes are built tough and sturdy. They're made from durable, high-quality aluminum with impenetrable locks that keep your mail safe and sound until such time that you retrieve them.
Apartment mailboxes come in many shapes and sizes.
They include cluster mailboxes, vertical mailboxes, USPS-approved 4C horizontal mailboxes, and USPS-approved 4B horizontal mailboxes. A variety of apartment mailbox setups are also available such as duo setups, tri setups, and quad setups. Whatever your requirements are, there will always be an apartment mailbox that's right for you.
Most apartment mailboxes can accommodate several days worth of letters and parcels including newspapers and magazines.
Even if you are not able to retrieve your mail on a daily basis, you have the assurance that your apartment mailbox is spacious enough to safely store your mail even when they pile up after several days.

So, i've always been the guy amongst my friend who likes things a bit different than most. Back in the college days, this included bourbon and decent microbrews, since they were hitting Des Moines pretty big and there were a couple of good brewpubs to choose from.
Along for the ride with bourbon has aways been the steadfast bottle of Angostura bitters, because they just make everything better. Any whiskey cocktail just is not complete without a healthy dose of them.
Back around 01' i was really excited to find my first bottle of Fee Brothers orange bitters in Omaha. My interest had been piqued by the mention of them, and recipe, in "The Book of Bourbon" by the Regan's. if you don't already own it, great read to pick up.
Since them, Regan's orange bitters and Peychaud's have also held a place in the bar. Also have picked up on the orange one from Urban Moonshine, great flavor and love the homemade, cloudy look of them.
But most recently, I've really been loving bitters in the realm of Apéritifs and Digestifs. Straight, mixed or diluted, they are fantastic!
Aperol, Ramazzotti, and Fernet-Branca have all been in rotation in the bar. The sometimes strangely sweet ,herbal, citrus-e flavors are wonderfully brisk, refreshing and yet contradictory all at the same time. Aperol has a great upfront orange flavor and sweetness that is not too forward, but yet then hits you with that bracing bitter note that takes you by surprise, but yet wanting more.
They are prefect before, and wonderful after dinner drinks. Many a night where the meal has been a bit too rich, has these come into play to bring a level of comfort. Yes, they absolutely do have some medicinal value to them.
And you can always sub in some Angostura for the above, since just about every place has this one hand. If you never tried any of the above, try this next time you are felling a little full after dinner, into a pint glass dash, with heavy hand, about 10-15 shakes of Angosture, maybe more if you are using the small bottle, the larger one is what I have on hand and measure form, and then just fill with cold water.
Drink it down, and repeat if needed.
So, any other bitter friends out there??

Homegrown Team: San Francisco Giants
By Matt Snyder
What if players were only permitted to stay with the team that originally made them a professional? No trades, no Rule-5 Draft, no minor or major league free agency ... once you are a professional baseball player, you stay in that organization. This series shows how all 30 teams would look. We give you: Homegrown teams. To view the schedule/past entries of this feature, click here.
On the strength of an incredible -- and mostly homegrown -- pitching staff, the San Francisco Giants won their first World Series in 2010 (yes, the Giants had won the World Series before, but that was as the New York Giants). So when you picture how the Giants would fare in this just-for-fun series, you might think these Giants will be pretty good. If so, you'd be wrong. You'll find a similarity to the real Giants in terms of pitching and offense, but the bad is much, much worse. In fact, it's awful. Don't say we didn't warn you ...
1. Brandon Belt, RF
2. Pablo Sandoval, 3B
3. Buster Posey, 1B
4. Nate Schierholtz, CF
5. Yorvit Torrealba, C
6. Brett Pill, LF
7. Matt Downs, 2B
8. Brandon Crawford, SS
Starting Rotation
1. Tim Lincecum
2. Matt Cain
3. Madison Bumgarner
4. Ryan Vogelsong
5. Francisco Liriano
Closer - Brian Wilson
Set up - Joe Nathan, David Aardsma, Sergio Romo, Scott Linebrink, Jason Grilli
Long - Jonathan Sanchez, Kevin Correia
Notable Bench Players
Hector Sanchez, Emmanuel Burriss and Conor Gillaspie.
What's Good?
The pitching staff could be even better than the real-life lock-down staff because you add the upside of Liriano, along with Nathan and Aardsma as setup men for Wilson. Of course, Nathan had a down year while recovering from Tommy John surgery, Liriano was pretty bad and Aardsma missed the entire season with his own injury. But since we're living in a dream world anyway, just picture this staff with everyone at his best. It's amazing, top to bottom.
What's Not?
Pretty much everything else. There is no bench depth at all, which is bad because Torrealba, Pill, Downs and Crawford don't have any business being everyday big-league starters. The Belt-Sandoval-Posey start to the lineup isn't bad, but after that the lineup is brutal. Schierholtz is fine for a six or seven hitter, but definitely not cleanup on a team that wants to be in playoff contention. The presence of Sandoval and Posey probably prevents this from being the worst Homegrown offense, but it's really, really bad. The team speed is lacking, too, so the offense can't exactly hope to put pressure on the defense that way. Oh yeah, the defense. Due to having one true outfielder (I still count Belt as a true first baseman) on the entire roster in addition to that guy being a corner outfielder having to play center, and we have four guys playing out of position. The outfield's range in particular would be crippling to the elite pitching staff in that spacious outfield.
Comparison to real 2011
It's similar in that the pitching is great and the offense is a big problem, but this offense is far worse than the real-life Giants' was -- and that wasn't good enough to make the playoffs. The actual 2011 Giants went 86-76 and were quite fortunate to get there with such a bad offense. This group couldn't possibly get to .500, even with the one of the best pitching staffs in this exercise -- and, again, the defense would make the pitchers look worse. I think it looks like a 75-win team, based purely on the pitching staff, Sandoval and Posey.
Up next: Oakland Athletics

R.I.P.: 2011 San Francisco Giants
By Matt Snyder
Another season gone, another disappointment for 29 teams as one is immortalized forever. Let's take a look back at 2011 and forward in Eye on Baseball's R.I.P. series...
Team name: San Francisco Giants
Record: 86-76, second place in NL West, eight games back.
Manager: Bruce Bochy
Best hitter: Pablo Sandoval -- .315/.357/.552, 23 HR, 70 RBI, 55 R, 26 2B
Best pitcher: Tim Lincecum -- 13-14, 2.74 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 220 K, 217 IP
The defending World Series champions entered the 2011 season with high expectations and as heavy favorites to win the NL West again. For most of June and July, they held first place, too. But the Diamondbacks played really well down the stretch and the Giants just couldn't get enough offense going to keep up. An eight-game winning streak in the middle of September -- teamed with the Braves' collapse -- got the Giants to within striking distance of the NL wild card, but it wasn't to be.
The Giants don't have a very strong farm system, according to most outlets, but a lot of the good talent on the major-league roster is young. Still, with the Diamondbacks and Rockies -- and maybe even the Dodgers, if they can get through the McCourt nonsense -- set to be strong in the upcoming years, the Giants window of contention with this nucleus won't last much longer. Don't get me wrong, three years from now, the Giants will be freed from some bad contracts and may never even fall below third place in the division, assuming they spend smarter in free agency than they have in the past. But in order to get back to first place in 2012, short-term moves need to be made to shore up the offense.
Getting Posey back will definitely help improve the team, as will full seasons of continued development from the likes of Brandon Belt, Madison Bumgarner and several other young players.

Giants activate Beltran from DL
By C. Trent Rosecrans
In what must be welcome news for the Giants, San Francisco is getting a player back from the disabled list as Carlos Beltran returned to the roster on Tuesday.
Of course, to make room for him, the team will placed left-hander Jonathan Sanchez on the disabled
Beltran is not in the lineup, but will be available as a pinch hitter. Beltran is expected to start on Wednesday against the Pirates, manager Bruce Bochy told reporters.
Beltran hasn't played since Aug. 7 with a strained right-hand. Beltran is bothered more with his left-handed swing more than his right-handed swing. Since coming to the Giants from New York, Beltran has played in 11 games for the Giants, hitting .244/.261/.356. He's hitting .284/.378/.495 with 15 home runs overall this season.
Sanchez sprained his ankle on Aug. 15 and will miss his scheduled start Saturday.For more baseball news, rumors and analysis, follow @eyeonbaseball on Twitter or subscribe to the RSS feed.

Giants on a solo homer streak
By C. Trent Rosecrans
Chris Stewart and Aubrey Huff homered for the Giants on Wednesday against the Pirates -- and like all the Giant homers for more than a month, they were solo homers.
The Giants are not only tied for 13th among National League teams in home runs, they aren't making them count. Huff's sixth-inning homer off of Pittsburgh's James McDonald was the 18th consecutive solo homer by the Giants, just one short of the all-time record, set by the 1914 Phillies.
San Francisco has managed just 23 runs in nine games this month, with 14 of those coming in two games -- a 8-1 victory over Arizona on Aug. 3 and a 6-0 win Tuesday against the Pirates.
The last time a Giant homered with a man on base was July 6 when Pablo Sandoval was on second base for Nate Schierholtz's home run off the Padres' Dustin Moseley. In the 29 games since then, the Giants have scored just 84 runs and are 15-14 during that stretch. Overall, San Francisco has scored the fewest runs in the National League. Their 405 runs are more than only the Mariners' 382.For more baseball news, rumors and analysis, follow @eyeonbaseball on Twitter or subscribe to the RSS feed.

3 Up, 3 Down: Pinch-Hit McGehee
By Matt Snyder
Casey McGehee, Brewers. Maybe the Brewers should just start using McGehee strictly as a pinch-hitter? It's been a rough year for McGehee, as he entered Wednesday hitting .222 with four homers, 33 RBI and a .582 OPS. This was after hitting .285 with 23 homers, 103 RBI and an .801 OPS last season. Wednesday, however, McGehee came through with a clutch pinch-hit three-run homer. It came in the bottom of the seventh and put the Brewers up for good. Earlier this season, McGehee hit a two-run go-ahead homer in the bottom of the eighth as a pinch-hitter. So, in just four pinch-hit at-bats, McGehee has accrued 40 percent of his home runs, driven home five runs and won two games for the Brewers. This one was huge, too, because the Brewers had lost seven of eight and fallen into fourth place in the NL Central prior to the game.
Justin Masterson, Indians. The Yankees hadn't lost a series since being swept by the Red Sox in early June, but Masterson brought home the second win in three games against the Yankees with a dominant performance Wednesday. He threw eight shutout innings, allowing only three hits and two walks while striking out six. That's quite the feat against the powerful Yankees, and the outing lowered Masterson's ERA to 2.66. Poor run support is one of the reasons Masterson was kept off the All-Star team, because his record is now just 7-6, but he's pitched far better than that.
Dan Uggla, Braves. The Braves' 9-1 win Wednesday -- their eighth in the past nine games -- was a complete team effort. Jair Jurrjens was great again and the offense pounded 14 hits for nine runs. Let us look closer at Dan Uggla, though. He'd been a disaster for the Braves for most of the season -- you could argue only Adam Dunn had hurt his team more offensively -- but the past two days should provide from confidence for Uggla. In the two Braves' wins, Uggla was 4-5 with two home runs, a double, three walks, four runs and three RBI. With that pitching staff, getting some more offense would be a big step in the Braves challenging the Phillies in the NL East, where the deficit is now three games.
Room for one more -- Nate Schierholtz, Giants: We initially published this before the Giants-Padres game concluded, because it felt like it would literally last all night, but Schierholtz took care of things in the bottom of the 14th. He slugged a walk-off homer that cleared the wall by mere inches. It was his second home run of the night as he went 3-6 with two runs and three RBI.
Ricky Romero against Red Sox. It's just not working for the Blue Jays' ace when he squares off against Boston. The Red Sox lit him up for nine hits and six earned runs, including two home runs, Wednesday. As noted on Twitter by Stats, Inc., Romero now has an 8.08 ERA in his career against the Red Sox and 3.28 against everyone else. It's an even bigger discrepancy this season, though. After the disaster in Fenway Wednesday evening, Romero has an 11.45 ERA and 2.88 WHIP this season against the Red Sox, while he's sporting a 2.45 ERA and 1.11 WHIP against everyone else.
Domonic Brown, Phillies. He tripled in the sixth inning, only he didn't. Upon appeal at second base, Brown was called out for missing the bag. He even admitted after the game he missed it. John Mayberry followed with a home run, though there's absolutely no guarantee that happens with a runner on third, because you can bet the Marlins pitch Mayberry differently. Still, Brown missed the bag and gave away an out in a game where the Phillies lost in extra innings. Brown also misplayed a Gaby Sanchez single into a three-bagger that allowed two runs to score, meaning you could say he cost the Phillies the game with the two mistakes. Still, I could much more easily tolerate a physical gaffe than a mental one. I will never understand how a player misses a bag while running the bases in high school, much less in the MLB. That's an avoidable mental error at any level.
Jake Westbrook, Cardinals. The Reds came into Wednesday having scored two or less runs in four of their past five games. The Cardinals had held the Reds to just one run combined in the first two games of the series. So I guess you could say they were due, though that's likely no consolation to Westbrook. He was torched by the Reds for eight hits and seven earned runs through just 4 1/3 innings. Five of those hits were of the extra-base variety, including three homers. After seeing his offensive teammates rally and his bullpen hold strong for much of the game, Westbrook had to have felt even worse when the Cardinals lost 9-8 in the 13th inning.
Spared: Sure, the Reds ended up winning, but it shouldn't have taken 13 innings to do so after leading 8-0 through five. That is unacceptable.

Looking back at second-round picks
By C. Trent Rosecrans
While the first-round of the MLB Draft is gaining more attention in the last couple of years, the later rounds are where most of the work is done.
The second round starts today at 11 a.m. ET, so here's a look at some of the best second-round picks in recent memory.
Angels: In 1999, the Angels took John Lackey out of Grayson County Community College with the 68th overall pick in the draft. In 1995, they took Jarrod Washburn with the first pick of the second round.
Astros: Perhaps the team's best player right now, outfielder Hunter Pence, was the 64th overall pick in 2004.
Athletics: The A's took Vista, Calif., high schooler Trevor Cahill with the 66th overall pick in 2006. Two years before that they took Kurt Suzuki in the second round and in 2003 they took Andre Ethier in the second round. They traded him for Milton Bradley and Antonio Perez in 2005.
Blue Jays: Right-hander Dave Bush in 2002 is probably the team's best second-round pick since taking Derek Bell in 1987.
Braves: Current first baseman Freddie Freeman was selected with the 78th overall pick in 2007, but the best pick was easily 2002's No. 64 overall pick, a local high school catcher named Brian McCann.
Brewers: The Brewers took Yovani Gallardo with the fifth pick of the second round in 2004.
Cardinals: In 2001, the team took Dan Haren with the 72nd overall pick. More recently, Jon Jay was taken in the second round of the 2006 draft.
Cubs: You have to go back pretty far -- unless you go with Bobby Hill -- to find much success with the Cubs' second-round pick, but if you go as far back as 1984, they took Greg Maddux with the third pick of the second round and he turned out OK. Also among their second-round picks is former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Quincy Carter (1996).
Diamondbacks: A's starter Brett Anderson was Arizona's second-rounder in 2006. He was part of the big trade that send Dan Haren to the Diamondbacks.
Dodgers: The Dodgers got future closer Jonathan Broxton with the 60th overall pick in 2002.
Giants: Of recent vintage, the Giants have taken Nate Schierholtz in 2003 and Fred Lewis in 2002, but the most interesting second-round pick by San Francisco was in 1982. That year they took the son of a team legend with the 11th pick of the second round (39th overall), but Barry Bonds went to Arizona State instead.
Indians: Jason Kipnis is one of the team's top prospects, taken in the second round in 2009. In 1995, the Indians took first baseman Sean Casey out of Richmond with the 53rd overall pick.
Mariners: Recently-demoted Orioles starter Chris Tillman was taken in the second round of the 2006 draft. Keep an eye on 2009 second-rounder Rich Poythress, who had 31 homers in Class A last season.
Marlins: It wasn't until the 12th pick of the second round -- and 76th overall -- for someone to pick up Mike Stanton in 2007.
Mets: There's some slim pickins for the Mets recently, but few Mets fans would trade their second-rounder of 1977, Mookie Wilson. (Seriously, this one was tough, the only players the Mets have picked in the last 15 years who have made the majors were Kevin Mulvey, Neal Musser, Pat Strange and Tyler Walker -- maybe that explains some things.)
Nationals (Expos): Jordan Zimmermann was the team's second-rounder in 2007. Current Reds All-Star second baseman Brandon Phillips was taken by the Expos with the sixth pick of the second round in 1999.
Orioles: Nolan Reimold was taken 61st overall in 2005, but if you want to go back a few years, the team took Cal Ripken with the 22nd pick of the second round in the 1978 draft. Ripken was the third of four picks the Orioles had in the second round that year.
Padres: San Diego took Chase Hedley in 2005.
Phillies: Jimmy Rollins was the team's second-rounder in 1996, going 46th overall.
Pirates: Last year's pick was Stetson Allie, who many expected to go in the first round. Lefty Tom Gorzelanny was taken in the second round in 2003 and catcher Ryan Doumit was taken 59th overall in 1999.
Rangers: The only player taken by the Rangers in the second round of the last decade to make the majors is Jason Bourgeois.
Rays: The Rays famously took Josh Hamilton No. 1 overall in 1999, but their second-round pick that year was pretty good too -- Carl Crawford.
Red Sox: How about Justin Masterson (2006), Dustin Pedroia (2004) and Jon Lester (2002)?
Reds: NL MVP Joey Votto (2002) was the third pick of the second round (44th overall) and Travis Wood was taken in the second round of the 2005 draft. Keep an eye on 2009 pick Billy Hamilton, who already has 45 stolen bases this season for Class A Dayton.
Rockies: For recent vintage, Seth Smith (2004) is the pick, but you can go back a few years and pick Aaron Cook (1997).
Royals: For all the prospects the Royals have stockpiled in the last couple of years, strangely not too many are second-rounders. Outfielder Brett Eibner (2010) was the only member of the Royals' Top 10 by Baseball America taken in the second round. You have to go back to Carlos Beltran (1995), Jon Lieber (1992), Bob Hamelin (1988), Mark Gubicza (1981), Darryl Motley (1978) and Dennis Leonard (1972) to find serious big-leaguers. Oh, and also a kid out of El Segundo, Calif., in 1971 named George Brett. He was pretty good, too.
Tigers: The Tigers took Brandon Inge with the 14th pick of the 1998 draft as a catcher out of Virginia Commonwealth. In 1976, Alan Trammell was the second pick of the round.
Twins: A nice run of arms earlier in the decade with Kevin Slowey (2005), Anthony Swarzak (2004), Scott Baker (2003) and Jesse Crain (2002). Frank Viola was the team's second-rounder in 1981.
White Sox: A's outfielder Ryan Sweeney (2003) is the team's best second-rounder since Bob Wickman (1990) -- not counting Jeff Weaver, who went back to school after he was picked in 1997 and was taken by the Tigers a year later.
Yankees: In the last 20 years, only two Yankees second-rounders have made the big leagues, Shelley Duncan (2001) and Randy Keisler (1998). Catching prospect Austin Romine was the team's second-rounder in 2007. In 1982, the team did take a shortstop from McAdory High School in Bessemer, Ala., who went on to play football at Auburn instead. His name is Bo Jackson. That was the year after the team took Stanford outfielder John Elway.For more baseball news, rumors and analysis, follow @cbssportsmlb on Twitter or subscribe to the RSS feed.

Schierholtz could earn more playing time for S.F.
By Evan Brunell
Given the depth of the Giants' outfielders, Nate Schierholtz's job was in danger in spring training. The five-year veteran was able to hold onto a spot, though, and the defensive specialist quickly became relevant when injuries and poor play struck.
With Schierholtz's 3-for-6 night in the books Wednesday, it raised his overall season line to .274/.319/.453, which is above-average production for an outfielder and further evidence that his .676 OPS in 227 plate appearances last season was an aberration. As Aubrey Huff put it to the San Jose Mercury News, Schierholtz is blossoming into a major-leaguer.
The knock against Schierholtz has always been his production against right-handers, as his career .693 OPS against righties can attest to. He's always hit lefties in the minors and over his career in the majors (strange, given he's a left-hander), but he has never really received a chance to stick in the starting lineup against left-handers. And he hasn't done himself any favors by collecting just three hits against lefties in 17 plate appearances.
However, his offensive production against righties is making it hard to keep him out of the lineup on a full-time basis, and Pat Burrell's skid into irrelevancy has opened a door -- manager Bruce Bochy says Schierholtz will begin to receive more playing time. The Giants have hit a bit of a skid. They're a half-game behind the Diamondbacks entering Thursday, and they have to deal with losing Buster Posey for the season, so S.F. has to find a way to upgrade the lineup where it can. That upgrade could be Schierholtz.

Giants' Wilson ready to return from DL
By C. Trent Rosecrans
Giants closer Brian Wilson said he'll be ready to come off the disabled list when he is eligible to do so Wednesday in San Diego.
Wilson threw a simulated game against Pat Burrell, Nate Schierholtz, Mike Fontenot and Eli Whiteside at Dodger Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Wilson threw about 25-30 pitches, according to Andrew Baggerly of the San Jose Mercury News (via Twitter.)
Wilson said afterward he threw all his pitchs and he's ready to return from the oblique injury that put him on the DL to start the season.
When asked if his next outing would be in a big-league game, Wilson said it would be.
"It could be. It will be," Wilson told Baggerly. "I've been ready for two weeks."For more baseball news, rumors and analysis, follow @cbssportsmlb on Twitter or subscribe to the RSS feed.

Cowboys add Chris Boniol as kicking consultant
On a day when Nick Folk signed a one-year deal with the New York Jets, the Cowboys have brought in Chris Boniol to be a kicking consultant.
Boniol spent three years with the Cowboys (94-96) and made 27-of-28 field goal attempts in 1995. He spent two years in Philadelphia and 10 games in Chicago, making 128-of-163 tries.
His job now is to work with David Buehler and Conor Hughes and possibly another player added later in the draft or free agency. Nick Eatman of DallasCowboys.com was the first to report the move.
Boniol has been running a kicking camp for the past 13 years. He said he will be with the team a few times a week during the off-season and through training camp. They have not worked out a schedule for the regular season.
Boniol said he contacted a few teams since the season and he had several conversations with Joe DeCamillis. The two got together, watched film and talked philosophy.
"I'm just honored they would ask me to help out," Boniol said. "I'm just worrying about the now and that's getting David and Conor ready for the OTAs, mini-camps and of course training camp. But everything you do in the off-season is geared to performance. You've got the OTAs and you have to perform. That's when you start earning your job. You have to perform in training camp and the preseason games. It all builds up and you cannot discount that it's just off-season activities, but they're kicks that count because it's a chance to show yourself in front of the players and coaches."

Today, CEOs from the largest banks receiving the first batch of funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), billions of dollars initially designed to loosen the credit crunch, will be visiting Washington today to be grilled by the House of Representatives' Financial Services Committee. There is no doubt that the bankers will be asked to describe and justify how money from the government was spent (or not spent).
I think it's fair to know how $176 billion of taxpayer money, lent to the government by investors, has been used to stabilize the banking system. Answering questions will be:
- Vikram Pandit, Citigroup
- Kenneth Lewis, Bank of America
- Lloyd Blankfein, Goldman Sachs
- James Dimon, JP Morgan Chase
- John Mack, Morgan Stanley
- Robert Kelly, Bank of New York Mellon
- Ronald Logue, State Street
- John Stumpf, Wells Fargo
With taxpayer money invested in these companies, some newly designated as banks just so they could receive funds from the TARP, these CEOs are now partially working for the public. They answer to all Americans. Do you have any questions for these eight CEOs?
Update: As I was writing this post, David Ellis from CNN offered four questions he would ask the CEOs:
- What did you do with the money?
- What have you done to act more responsibly?
- How many more potential losses are there?
- How did you get to Washington?
What would you add?
