What Is a Fluorescein Angiography?
A fluorescein angiography is a medical procedure in which a fluorescent dye is injected into the bloodstream. The dye highlights the blood vessels in the back of the eye so they can be photographed.
This test is often used to manage eye disorders. Your doctor may order it to confirm a diagnosis, to determine an appropriate treatment, or to monitor the condition of the vessels in the back of your eye.
What the Test Addresses
Your doctor may recommend a fluorescein angiography to assess if the blood vessels in the back of your eye are receiving adequate blood flow. It can also be used to diagnose eye disorders.
Macular Degeneration
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), this age-related disorder is the number one cause of vision loss in people 60 and older in the United States (NIH).
Macular degeneration strikes the macula, the part of the eye that lets you focus on fine detail. Sometimes the disorder worsens so slowly that you may not notice any change at all. However, in some cases, your vision deteriorates rapidly and may lead to blindness in both eyes.
Because the disease destroys your focused, central vision, it prevents you from seeing objects clearly, driving, reading, and watching television.
Diabetic Retinopathy
This eye disorder is caused by long-term diabetes and results in permanent damage to the blood vessels in the back of the eye (or the retina). The retina converts images and light that enter the eye into signals, which are then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.
There are two types of this disorder:
- non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy: this is the initial stages of the disease
- proliferative diabetic retinopathy: this condition develops later and is more severe
The National Library of Medicine states that most people who suffer from diabetes for more than 30 years also develop diabetic retinopathy (NLM, 2012).
Your doctor may order fluorescein angiography to determine if treatments for these eye disorders are working.
Preparation for the Test
You will need to arrange for someone to pick you up and drive you home since your pupils will be dilated for up to 12 hours after the test.
Be sure to tell your doctor before the test about any prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and herbal supplements you are taking. You should also tell your doctor if you have an allergy to iodine.
If you wear contact lenses, they must be taken out before the test.
How Is the Test Administered?
Your doctor will perform the test by inserting standard dilation eye drops into your eyes. These make your pupils dilate. He or she will then ask you to rest your chin and forehead against the camera's supports so that your head remains still throughout the test.
Your doctor will then use the camera to take a number of pictures of your inner eye. Once your doctor has completed the first batch of pictures, he or she will give you a small injection in a vein in your arm. This injection contains a dye called fluorescein. Your doctor will then continue to take pictures as the fluorescein moves through the blood vessels into your retina.
Understanding the Results
Normal Results
If your eye is healthy, the blood vessels will have normal shape and size. There will be no blockages or leaks in the vessels.
Abnormal Results
Abnormal results will reveal a leak or blockage in the blood vessels. This may be due to:
- circulatory problems
- cancer
- diabetic retinopathy
- macular degeneration
- elevated blood pressure
- tumors
- enlarged capillaries in the retina
- swelling of the optic disc
What to Expect After the Test
Your pupils can remain dilated for up to 12 hours after the test is performed. In addition, the fluorescein dye may cause your urine to be darker and orange in color for a few days.
If your doctor diagnoses you with diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration, he or she may prescribe medications to help manage the disorders.
What Are the Risks of the Test?
Mild to severe reactions occur in five to 10 percent of all patients (MDS, 2002). Possible reactions include nausea and vomiting.
More rarely, severe reactions may occur, such as:
- swelling of the larynx
- hives
- difficulty breathing
- fainting
- cardiac arrest
If you are pregnant or think you may be, you should avoid having a fluorescein angiography. The risks to an unborn fetus are not yet known.

Well I've been a gamer for years. I have a wii and will keep it for the great games that will be exclusive to wii only, but I want something with next generation graphics. So I will be getting a ps3 or xbox360 and I am leaning towards the ps3.
Ive got a sneaky feeling the 360 will. It has more or less the same games that the PS3 has plus it has its own exlcusives and is abit cheaper than PS3 (£450 )
Just give me a quick PM if you add me! :-)
Well I've been a gamer for years. I have a wii and will keep it for the great games that will be exclusive to wii only, but I want something with next generation graphics. So I will be getting a ps3 or xbox360 and I am leaning towards the ps3.
I beleive ,it will be the Wii . Nintendo has had it's dark years and now it has emerged into the light, for everyone to see .By everyone I mean, Non-gamers, casual gamers and hardcore gamers alike can now see what makes Nintendo different. The games!! Nintendo as a developer never takes it'self too seriously. It's about Fun ,and always has been. Now Nintendo have a platform to show it . As for Xbox 360 and Ps3 , they will become Clones of each other .That is happening now , look at the endless battles over exlusivity right for games like MGS 5, GTA 5 , FF XIII and DMC 4 nothing new ,nothing different. Just games that will end up being on both machines or possibly all three anyway.
Reality is subject to PERCEPTION
I have a feeling it will come down to PS3 and Wii even though it seems unlikely things are drastic these days one good game can turn the tides
Spoiler Alert!Metric: Tiger, you're posts always make me laugh. Then they make me feel a bit sorry for you. =\
The_Next_Tiger: Thanks man I love to make people laughSpoiler Alert!SAVE A COW EAT A VEGETARIANSpoiler Alert!Blackjack: video games come out on tuesdays, Though they do make exceptions.
Spoiler Alert!Sarai_132: who fuking cares! calm downSpoiler Alert!Chicagoan: I have Pokemon Rangers game, and I beated it.Spoiler Alert!JoonKimDDS: Sometimes wiimote requires too much muscle work to perform a move.Spoiler Alert!Mushroomedmario: the moral is only trust wikipedia...for everything
Well nintendo is the clear frontrunner now, but i don't think you can count out the ps3 or even the xbox to take the lead in a year or 2. The wii still has a lot of milestones to reach such as widespread online gameplay and also pushing the graphics barrier beyond just a bump ahead of the old playstation 2. Hopefully some of the nintendo produced games like metroid will help with that. Lets see if they can keep up the momentum.
once nintendo comes out with some decent games with online play then im sure theyll gain the lead,the 360 i belive has no chance,i mean look at that console its so ugly, PS3 has taken off over here, unfortunately it costs an arm and a leg.
With That New "HOME" Coming To The PS3...
It's Gonna Be The PS3 And he Wii Battling It Out In the End...
In terms of sales, the Wii.
In terms of games, no one.
There hasn't been a clear winner in awhile, at this moment it's too early to say and it seems each system is equal in what games they'll have IMO. For example the Ps3 has games like Ratchet and Clank and God of War, with the Wii it's Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and for the 360 it's games like Mass Effect and Halo 3.
Are you kidding? I can't believe people actually think the PS3 will win. It's not selling at ALL. And, the 360 is WAY better. I just got one the other day, and I'm very close to saying it beats Wii, just because of its games (Gears of War, Rainbow Six: Vegas, GRAW & GRAW 2, Halo 3 pretty soon, the list goes on) and its FREAKIN PERFECT online play. Seriously, PS3 vs 360 is no contest. 2 million consoles vs. 10 million...yeah, right.
But, I do think the Wii will win the overall "war." It's selling like hotcakes because everyone and their mother wants one (literally). At $250, it's practically an impulse buy for some people, and it's growing into a kind of "fashion," so to speak. I think the 360 will be very close in numbers, but keep in mind that the 360 is directed towards the a different crowd than the Wii, so the people who buy 360s are most likely not potential Wii buyers (and vice versa).
no way its gonna be wii

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
For PC music listening, my Logitech speakers just weren't cutting it. Had an Polk RM7000 satellite / sub system laying around doing nothing so decided to hook them up to the PC (via an amp). Sounded harsh on the high end. Added the D1 between PC and amp and...WOW! Great high end and killer bass. Highly recommend!
Pros: USB powered

It seems easy to confuse the two, with most attention ahead of Saturday's season finale focused squarely on the future of the embattled 11th year head coach. But the Golden Bears (3-8, 2-6 Pac-12) have their focus squarely on the resurgent Beavers (7:30 p.m., Pac-12 Network), not on the meeting between Tedford and athletic director Sandy Barbour expected to take place Sunday to determine the direction of the program moving forward.
"Understandably we want to make sure we put all our heart and soul and preparation into the way we finish this, and that's been the approach all week," Tedford said.
"I don't hear too many guys saying, 'Hey, I don't really care about this season.' That's what you want to hear going into the game," cornerback Steve Williams said. "I want to hear people saying, 'I think we can win this game,' and I think we can."
Tedford has frequently termed his worst season at Cal as a week-to-week issue, with three losses decided by one score, and not a more systemic one, pointing to the team's consistently strong preparation during the week and fight in game day.
Even with the roster devastated by injuries, headlined by the absence of quarterback Zach Maynard, wide receiver Keenan Allen, and right tackle Matt Summers-Gavin once again, Tedford insists Cal has not thrown in the towel.
"I think that says a lot about this team, motivation when the record isn't what you want it to be," Tedford said. I've been very pleased with the work ethic, the attitude, the togetherness. It's been challenging with the record, but all the things they are doing off the field with preparation has been all positive. I'm happy that the foundation has stayed strong.
"That's really all you can ask, and that is what I anticipate seeing again this week. They will come out and they will be ready to play. The guys who are playing will give if their all, and if there is no depth, they will lay it all on the line. They've been doing that every week. That's never been a question in my mind."
The secondary, whose Tedford play described as "up and down," will need to bring that mentality and execution to Reser Stadium to contain Oregon State wide receivers Brandin Cooks and Markus Wheaton.
The two have combined to averaged better than 206 receiving yards on just over 13 receptions per game, leading Tedford and defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast to the far-more heralded USC duo of Marqise Lee and Robert Woods.
"They fit kind of right there with Woods and Lee," Tedford said. "Lee has separated himself as a really special player, but all four of those receivers, you can't just focus on one guy. They have guys on both sides that can hurt you."
Cooks, a sophomore from Stockton (Calif.) Lincoln, ranks second in the Pac-12 to Woods in receiving yards per game. His ability to stretch the field is most apparent in his absurd average of 17.3 yards per catch.
The senior Wheaton has caught nine touchdowns after reaching the end zone just once in 73 receptions last season.
They are featured in a variety of ways, in all three levels of the passing game, and on reverses, end arounds, and fly sweeps.
"They mix it up with both those guys," Pendergast said. "They are both very talented receivers that are going to have bright futures at the next level."
The challenge, Pendergast said, comes because defenses cannot commit an extra safety to both Wheaton and Cooks, and still defend the run. That puts the onus on the corners to cover and tackle well, something Cal has been unable to do reliably.
"Some games we have been solid, other games we haven't been," Tedford said. "We need to be more consistent in pass defense in the secondary."
But there have been some positives. Tedford singled out Williams as having had "a very solid season," while Pendergast is pleased with the number of takeaways Cal has created.
"You look at the turnovers," Pendergast said. "I think we're 17th in the country in interceptions. I think we're somewhere in the top 25 in turnovers, so that's probably one of the bright spots that we have had."
Still, Pendergast is unhappy with the numbers of plays has faced, having been on the field for more than 78 snaps per game.
Whether Pendergast, and Tedford, will get a chance to fix Cal's issues is uncertain. As Oregon State has shown, going from 3-9 to 7-2, 5-2 in conference in a year, things can turn just that quickly.
"I don't think we can't get back to where we want to go," Williams said. "Just look at Notre Dame. They wasn't that good, and next thing you know they're one of the top teams in the country. It happens every year. Anything is possible.
"The games this season, it could have went our way some games, and we could be sitting here talking about a bowl game."
And talking about Cal's game at Oregon State as more than a possible prelude to Tedford's exit.

text: AdChoices Terms of Use Privacy Policy Hide VIDEO Entertainment and Celebrities Watch Dogs Privacy Video Watch Dogs Privacy Video How Did Watch Dogs Predict The Future Of NSA Spying And Technology? May 27, 2014 Share Tweet 0 Shares When Ubisoft Montreal began work on Watch Dogs five years ago, the goal was to create the city of the near-future. The open-world action title's alternate version of contemporary Chicago is an interconnected one, where much of the city's infrastructure is tied to a central hub. Players assume the role of Aiden Pearce, a hacker who can wreak havoc with the swipe of his smartphone. Now with the game set to drop on May 27th for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 (plus Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3), the Watch Dogs team can boast that the advanced urban jungle they had envisioned is, in some ways, already here. "It's called a smart city, and there are some big companies working on it," explains Danny Belanger, lead game designer on Watch Dogs. "In a smart city, everything from traffic lights to security and surveillance is connected and controlled by a central network. It really is around the corner." The way the team saw it, their version of Chicago comprises two worlds: the physical realm, and the hidden data one. For the real Chicago, level designers and artists were sent to the Windy City to capture the look and feel. Belanger wasn't among them, but when he visited a month ago, he could pinpoint exact spots that were used in missions. For the data world, the team invented the CenTral Operating System, or ctOS. The system controls most of Chicago, and by hacking into it, players can manipulate electrical grids, swipe funds from an ATM or simply get intel on a stranger walking down the street. In 2009, the ctOS sounded farfetched, but in the post-Snowden world, nothing can be discounted when it comes to the power and reach of technology. To ensure the hacking aspect of Watch Dogs was authentic, Ubisoft Montreal turned to global internet security firm Kaspersky Labs. Vitaly Kamluk, a principal security researcher at Kaspersky, investigates cyber-attacks, which could very well be one of the coolest jobs around. He and three colleagues were presented with the game's script and asked to determine how feasible the hacks were. "Something like ctOS might be a reality in five to 10 years," Kamluk says. "And many of the hacks have already come true after they were introduced in the script, which is impressive." An example of a scenario that has since come to fruition happened in Kamluk's own city of Moscow.

Leg extensions are good for those who are trying to re-hab knee injuries, using light weights and slow movement.
Otherwise, they suck.
Using heavy weight for leg extensions is asking for trouble.

Jim Harbaugh isn't adverse to the idea of developing quarterbacks that haven't produced in the NFL.
After all, he was the man arguably most responsible for Alex Smith's turnaround after five disappointing years before he was hired as 49ers head coach.
On Wednesday, San Francisco added quarterback John Skelton, a former project of the Arizona Cardinals and most recently the Cincinnati Bengals. He was released in favor of former 49er Josh Johnson to back up Andy Dalton before Week 1.
"Felt like we wanted to have two veteran quarterbacks, two guys that have started games, played in games, won games. Felt like that's what we needed to do at this time," Harbaugh said Wednesday.
The two veterans he referred to are Skelton and Colt McCoy, who now round out a group of quarterbacks that's seen three players leave since the end of August. Scott Tolzien, Seneca Wallace and now B.J. Daniels have all departed.
It came as no surprise that Daniels was claimed by the Seattle Seahawks Wednesday after being waived a day prior. In a conference call leading up to Week 2's match up between the 49ers and Seahawks, Pete Carroll indicated his team had interest in drafting the South Florida quarterback, whom San Francisco took in the seventh round.
Before the news of Daniels' getting claimed, Harbaugh indicated he hoped he would clear waivers and make it back to the practice squad. Of course, that did not happen.
Skelton, 6'5" with a big arm, resembles the more traditional pocket passer that's been en vogue for decades.
"Good stature in the pocket, experienced guy, he's played, won games and been in those battles," Harbaugh said.
"He had an excellent workout when he was here a few weeks back, one of the better workouts I've seen from a quarterback in one of those workout environments," Harbaugh said.
One of the battles Harbaugh might have been referring two was a game against his 49ers back in 2011, in which he authored a 21-19 win for the Cardinals. It was the most impressive start of his career, throwing for 297 yards and three touchdowns while posting a career-high 106.5 quarterback rating.
"We've always been impressed with him," Harbaugh said.
Skelton's stature and strong arm have always stood out since coming into the NFL. But he's thrown 25 interceptions to just 15 touchdowns and has a 8-9 record in games he's played. The knock on the Fordham alum has been his ability to digest and master a playbook.
"I think (quarterbacks coach Geep Chryst) put it best. He said, 'we're in the middle of the book right now. You just got to hop in. You're not starting from the beginning.' So I think that I'll get there," Skelton said.
Skelton came into the NFL having set school records at Fordham for completions, yards and touchdowns. He was thrown into the fire in Arizona while the team struggled to find a productive starting quarterback after bringing in Derek Anderson and Kevin Kolb behind a struggling offensive line.
Skelton was released this Spring after the Cardinals hired new head coach Bruce Arians and elected to go with Carson Palmer under center.
Given the circumstances he's experienced in his first three seasons in the league with Arizona, nothing has come easy for Skelton, including his roundabout journey to the Bay Area this week.
"It's been a really fast paced and a lot of frequent flier miles over the last few days," Skelton said.
His started in Arizona last Thursday, flew to El Paso Texas, then to Nashville - via Dallas - for a workout Tuesday. He flew overnight to make it to South Bay Wednesday morning to sign with the 49ers.
Following his workout Tuesday, the Titans did not offer Skelton a contract, he said.
"As soon as people here caught wind of that, they flew me back out," said Skelton.
It's unlikely Skelton will be asked to do more than carry a clipboard this weekend when the team takes on Houston, but there's always a possibility he could be in the running for the backup job over McCoy should he impress the coaching staff going forward.
"The way our situation is, a guy that's, along with Colt, played in games and won games, being on our 53 gives us a chance to contribute if needed. That's what we were looking for our third quarterback," Harbaugh said.
"Excited to work with him. That's really what it amounts to. Three quarterbacks that have all played in games and been in the fire. We have three at our disposal. Got a great starter and two guys now that can back up that have been in those games."

Three has announced "The One Plan" mobile phone tariff that offers a huge number of call minutes and texts as well as Internet access for a competitive monthly payment.
Aimed at SmartPhone users, the new One Plan tariff offers 2,000 any network minutes, 5,000 texts and 1Gb of Internet access for monthly prices starting from £28 per month, depending on the phone that you choose.
For example, the excellent HTC Desire Graphite which has a 3.7″ AMOLED screen, 5 Mega Pixel camera and bot GPS and WiFi, costs £35 per month for a 24 month contract under the One Plan.
Those wanting a SIM only deal, but requiring large amounts of free call minutes and texts each month will find the One Plan SIM only deal attractive as it costs £25 per month with a 12 month contractual commitment.
Three is anticipating that this tariff will change the market for Smartphone users, as well as offering a highly competitive product for consumers. As Three Chief Executive, Kevin Russell, points out:
"For individual consumers this plan is about peace of mind. For the industry it's a game changer. The One Plan is for everyone that wants to get the most from their smartphone and yet keep within their monthly allowance."
"We've fought for changes to the rules to make this kind of deal possible. With change in the air we believe it's time to act and to bring to the market the benefits of the larger bundles of calls, texts and data we have promised to UK consumers."

Picking country at the Grammys
Each year, as Piet Levy outlined in this morning's full feature and picks, the Grammy Awards are a celebration of the wide swath of music enjoyed across the United States and around the world. But, from the very first on-air promos for this Sunday's broadcast on CBS, it has seemed like the Recording Academy is placing a bit more emphasis on country music than in years past. The live lineup is touting performances from Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood and, of course, Taylor Swift. Zac Brown will even join Elton John, Mumford & Sons, Mavis Staples and Alabama Shakes' Brittany Howard in a tribute to the late Levon Helm.
Since the award show has (thankfully) turned heavily toward performance in recent years, it is likely that only one of the country awards will be given out on the live show. But any Grammy - even one won in a pre-show ceremony - is a real resume booster for any musician. So, here are my picks for the Grammys' four country categories. »Read Full Blog Post

Filmmakers create ode to sign painters as urban landscape artists
We live in a world full of computer-generated messaging, from Facebook ads to tire shop signs. With it comes a "creeping sameness" in the urban landscape, say filmmakers Faythe Levine and Sam Macon.
Not so long ago, the urban landscape was full of messages and signs made by specially trained artists. At a time when people are returning to the lost craft of painting signs in windows and on the sides of trucks by hand, Levine and Macon have made a film about these dedicated and precise practitioners. "Sign Painters," a feature-length film, features interviews with sign painters young and old, from the vanguard to the traditionalists. »Read Full Article
Laughing with Louie at Potawatomi Bingo Casino
In 2008, Comedy Central aired a send-up of reality show competitions called "Reality Bites Back," including a spoof of "So You Think You Can Dance?" called "So You Think You Can Dive?"
It was hilarious, because what network in its right mind would do a show like that? Well, this spring, ABC did "Splash," starring a hodgepodge of D-list celebrities. And the unofficial star of the show, based on preview appearances, was comedian Louie Anderson. ABC banked that the sight of a man who weighs 400 pounds diving into a pool would pull big ratings. »Read Full Article

LANDOVER, Md. - Brian Rolle majored in sociology at Ohio State, not mathematics. But the rookie linebacker knew exactly how well his unit did against the run in yesterday's 20-13 win over the Redskins.
"Forty-two rushing yards," Rolle said proudly after the game. "People say we can't stop the run. But against a team like this that likes to run the ball and has a great scheme, we did very good.
"Going into the fourth quarter, they had just 28 rushing yards. That's something we pride ourselves on."

If Blake Treinen would have had his way, he'd be making his way through the Florida Marlins farm system this summer as a second-year pro. Instead, he'll take his chances in the Oakland organization after signing last month as a member of the 2011 draft class.
The 6'4'' right-hander was drafted in the 23rd round by the Marlins out of South Dakota State last June and flew to South Florida in anticipation of signing a professional contract. After being out of baseball for nearly three years, Treinen was just happy to have a chance to turn pro after one season of college baseball and had agreed to Florida's terms.
But that's where his future plans took a huge detour. During a routine pre-signing MRI, the Marlins found enough inflammation in Treinen's rotator cuff to void his contract. The dejected Treinen was sent home, and he even had to repay his travel expenses to the Marlins in order to regain his college eligibility.
"It was hard to grasp at first," said Treinen. "I worked so hard to get to that point. Three years before that, I couldn't have guessed I'd get drafted. I didn't know how the process would turn around and if I'd be able to do it again. I thought I would have a bad stamp on me that no one else would want to take a chance on me."
Treinen blames the MRI results on bad timing. He had just pitched three days prior and jumped on a plane from San Jose to Kansas City, without doing any post-start conditioning. The next day, he completed the final leg of his trip from Kansas City to Florida.
"I didn't really have time to do what most pitchers do to recover," Treinen said. "I had thrown 86 innings in a year, so there was going to be a little inflammation anyway. They just deemed there was too much inflammation and didn't want to take a risk."
Treinen retreated to Brookings, South Dakota, for his second season of college ball and compiled another banner season for the Jackrabbits. The right-hander posted a 7-3 record and 3.00 ERA in 13 starts this spring.
With Treinen still on the board in the seventh round, the A's were sold enough to make him the 226th overall pick in the '11 draft. The Marlins' loss turned into Treinen's gain, as the college pitcher was actually picked 16 rounds higher.
So much for the "bad stamp" that he was worried about.
"They did MRIs and compared them, along with dye injections," Treinen said.
"They determined that there was nothing that any other player wouldn't have in their shoulder. (With another year) I felt like I became an overall better pitcher on the mound. I didn't play summer ball and just worked on getting stronger with preventative rehab. As a result, my velocity jumped and accuracy was a lot better. I'm excited to see what the future holds for me. I'm a very blessed individual."
Although he wasn't surprised to get drafted where he did, Treinen wasn't expecting the A's to come calling.
"I thought the teams that I did workouts for would call me because I had good workouts for them," he said.
"Some other teams had been following me for two years. I had only heard from the A's once or twice and it was real short conversations. I was told higher than I would go, but that's how it goes for everybody. I was waiting around and the next thing I know my name pops up. Then my agent calls and I heard from the guy who scouted and drafted me."
Once again, Treinen agreed to a professional team's contract terms and was on his way to the A's minor league complex in Arizona.
"With my age, I'm 23 now and wanted to give myself the best opportunity to move through a system," Treinen said.
"Yeah I wanted to get what I deserved as a player, but I didn't set out to make a ton of money on my signing bonus. But it was nice for me to pay off college with it. I wasn't on scholarship, so it was nice to get that taken care of."
Treinen's story is a remarkable one, and not just because of his injury misfortune and re-entry into the draft. It's that he's gotten an opportunity to pitch in the pros when no one gave him much of a shot to play college baseball.
A native of Ossage City, Kansas, Treinen settled on nearby Baker University, an NAIA school, coming out of high school. After a season on the junior varsity team and without the benefit of a pitching coach, Treinen left for what he thought would be greener pastures.
He transferred to the University of Arkansas with the idea of trying out for a spot on the team.
"I was just going to try walking on, but they laughed at me and said 'are you kidding me,'" Treinen said. "So I thought baseball was over with and I just went for school. Halfway through the year I started missing baseball again and got an opportunity at South Dakota State."
But it wasn't that easy. In order to become eligible, Treinen would have to sit out one season. So he spent his third straight season off the diamond. However, once Treinen finally did get the opportunity to play college baseball he made his presence known. He went on to become a two-time, first-team all-Summit League pitcher and posted a 14-4 career record with 166 strikeouts in 159.1 innings.
With his college career and draft mishaps behind him, Treinen can now focus on being a professional.
After signing with the A's, Treinen was assigned to the A's rookie league team in Arizona where he fired three scoreless innings in the bullpen and struck out seven. Oakland promoted the 23-year old to Burlington last week, where he'll likely pitch between 30-35 innings of relief in the next couple months. Treinen, whose fastball sits in the low-to-mid-90s and can reach 97 MPH, said he's unsure if he'll transition back into the rotation next spring.
Either way, Treinen is in a far better place than he was last year at this time.

Disaster declarations have been issued in 38 cities in southern and eastern Mexico affected last week by Hurricane Ernesto, the Government Secretariat said.
The disaster declarations will allow officials in Veracruz, Guerrero and Tabasco states to obtain Natural Disaster Fund, or Fonden, money to deal with the damage.
The funds will allow officials to "deal with the food, clothing and health needs of the population," the secretariat said.
Disaster declarations were issued for 31 cities in Veracruz, which is on the Gulf of Mexico, five cities in the southern state of Guerrero and two in the southeastern state of Tabasco.
Hurricane Ernesto, which first made landfall a week ago on the Yucatan Peninsula, reached Category 1 status and killed 12 people on its path through Mexico.
Ernesto first made landfall near Mahahual, a fishing town in the southeastern state of Quintana Roo, as a Category 1 hurricane packing winds of up to 165 kph (103 mph).
The storm crossed the Yucatan Peninsula last Wednesday without causing any casualties or serious damage and then moved back over water.
Early Thursday afternoon, it made landfall near Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, bringing winds of 96 kph (60 mph) and causing two deaths in the neighboring state of Tabasco.
Ernesto was the fifth tropical cyclone of the 2012 Atlantic season, following Alberto, Beryl, Chris and Debby. Chris and Ernesto both became hurricanes.
The season officially began on June 1 and ends on Nov. 30, but two storms - Alberto and Beryl - formed in May.
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, has revised its forecast for the Atlantic.
Forecasters now expect the season to be more active, with 12 to 17 tropical storms and five to eight hurricanes forming. EFE
