The Pacers pulled off one of the great comebacks in recent sports history last night. That had us wondering – what are some of the best comebacks in Pittsburgh sports history? Some of our favorites included the 2002 Wild Card game between the Steelers & Browns, the Brian Giles walk-off against the Astros in 2001, and the Penguins' comeback against the Flyers in the 2009 playoffs. Callers chimed in with their favorite PGH sports comebacks. Donny Football Debrief – Some of the chat between Donny and Mike North, the VP of NFL Broadcast Planning, last night.

Did Bob know the Steelers would play the Jets Week 1? It's a great opener we are thrilled for. Does Joe have Mullsia? Joe thinks about his golf life. Mike Tomlin thinks it's an honor for the Steelers to play in Ireland and represent the NFL. Steelers-Dolphins in PGH on Monday Night Football in Week 15 might be bad.

Lange was a huge draw to the Penguins early in their existence to grow the PGH audience. Mike Lange taught the game to so many fans and people would call in to offer suggestions for goal calls.

Reproductive physiologists are always trying to improve conception rates for the dairy herd. Double ovsync is one of the best tools in our toolbox to submit cows to first insemination. However, as estrus detection technology becomes more affordable and we learn more about physiology, perhaps combining the expression of estrus at insemination may improve fertility through optimizing ovulation timing. Dr. Julio Giordano and Ana Laplacette worked with their Cornell reproduction team to investigate this theory on over 4600 cows in 2 commercial herds. “We are trying to take advantage of the power of sync of ovulation and the power of estrus” Giordano explains. “To get the best of both, synergize the two.” The only change to the well-known Double ovsync protocol includes a delay in the final administration of GnRh before breeding. The goal, allowing the cows more time to show estrus. Take a moment to listen in to better understand the physiology of this synchronization program and how to improve your herd's reproductive management.   Topics of discussion 2:03       Introduction of Dr. Julio Giordano & Ana Laplacette 3:37       Why introduce Estrus detection to double ovsync? 6:25       Treatment description, Double ovsync 9:12       Did you cherry pick? 10:04     What metrics do you focus in on to determine the success of synchronization protocol 11:36     Considerations to grouping animals to best understand the data 13:57     How did you determine “heat” 15:23     Specific difference between G56 and G80 treatments 16:38   Increase in Estrus observed 2.2% vs 29.9% 17:09     Three types of cows –                (1) Show estrus without GnRh, 1/3                (2) Show estrus after GnRh, 1/3                (3) Never show estrus, 1/3   20:01     Anestrus cows – table 5 22:16     Follicle size differences between treatment 26:12     Did it work?
