Medical Acupuncture is a journal with an international scope, focusing on the evolving specialty of medical acupuncture. The editor welcomes articles on all aspects of medical acupuncture, including research, education, clinical practice, technology, policy, ethics, law, schools of thought, history, and related disciplines.
All submitting authors are required to complete their submissions using an ORCID identifier. Please visit the ORCID website for more information, or to register.
All new manuscripts must be submitted online at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/acupuncture. Please read ALL "the Instructions for Authors" before submitting; all papers must also adhere to the new STRICTA 2010 requirements (available online: http://www.stricta.info/
Please upload individual files of all manuscript materials—do NOT upload a single PDF file containing all text, figure, and table files of your article. Once all individual files are uploaded onto Manuscript Central, the system will automatically create a single PDF proof for you, and the peer-review process.
All material submitted should conform to the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, as formulated by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. These requirements appear in their entirety (updated October 2007) online at www.icmje.org/index.html Note the requirement for the registration of clinical trials.
Please adhere to the new STRICTA 2010 (Standards for Reporting Interventions in Controlled Trials of Acupuncture), requirements available online at www.stricta.info/
All persons designated as authors must qualify for authorship. Criteria include substantial contributions to the following: (a) conception, design, and/or analysis and interpretation of data; (b) writing or revising the manuscript for intellectual content; and (c) final approval of the paper for publication. All 3 criteria must be met. Contributors who do not meet these 3 criteria should be listed, with their permission, in an acknowledgement paragraph.
The order of the author byline should be reached by consensus of the co-authors. All authors should be listed by full name, one major degree, and affiliations along with other pertinent information.
Biographical and contact information (including address, phone and fax numbers, email address) for all authors must be provided.
Once material is published in the Journal, it becomes the copyrighted property of Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. Permission must be obtained from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. to publish in other medical journals.
The corresponding author is responsible for communicating with coauthors to make sure they have completed the online copyright form. Authors not permitted to release copyright must still return the form acknowledging the statement of the reason for not releasing the copyright.
It is incumbent upon the submitting author to ensure the accuracy and inclusion of all contributing authors' names and affiliations upon original submission of the paper. Once a paper is accepted for publication, changes in authorship – including the page proof stage – are NOT permitted. Changes in authorship after publication are strictly prohibited.
Financial Disclosure
All affiliations with, or financial involvement in, any entity with a financial interest in, or in competition with the article's subject matter must be disclosed. This includes stock ownership, employment, consultancies, honoraria, grants, patents, and royalties.
Redundant or Duplicate Publication. Medical Acupuncture does not publish articles that have been submitted or published elsewhere.
Informed Consent, Study Ethics Approval, and Subject Confidentiality
When articles include reports of studies on human subjects, state in the Methods section that an appropriate review board or ethics committee approved the study. Authors who do not have formal ethics review committees should follow the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki (2013). In the Methods section, state that informed consent was obtained from subjects (specify oral or written).
In addition, text, photographs, and pedigrees should not reveal identifying information unless it is essential for scientific purposes (in which case, consent should be obtained). Masking the subjects' eyes in photographs is often insufficient to protect their identity.
Animals. The principal author must state that if animals were used experimentally, permission was obtained from the appropriate committee(s), and that the animals were treated humanely and conformed to the standards of current ethical animal research practices.
Note: when uploading your figures and tables, please label them with the journal acronym, ACU, and the year, plus your last name and the figure number. Example: ACU.2008.Smith.Fig1.
- A title page which includes the title of the article, as well as ALL authors' names, affiliations, email addresses, and contact information.
- An abstract (uploading your abstract into the appropriate field in Manuscript Central will NOT automatically incorporate it into the text file, so please include the abstract within the manuscript file).
- References section correctly formatted (see examples).

Many of the articles in our journal are singular case reports. In achieving publications of these articles it is obvious that some components of STRICTA may not be applicable. Nevertheless we need to strive and maintain the quality of this journal. We urge you to plan your articles carefully and remember a single case is interesting, but not conclusive and subjected to much scrutiny especially by the Editor-in-Chief and the reviewers.
Nomenclature and Abbreviations
Authors must conform to the standard nomenclature for medical acupuncture, listed at the end of these instructions. As a general rule, use only these abbreviations and those easily recognizable in the literature. The full term should appear at first mention, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Standard units of measure are acceptable to abbreviate without expansion. When discussing particular products, it is preferable to use the nonproprietary (generic) name or descriptive term throughout. If desired, the brand name can be included parenthetically at first mention.
At the end of the article, include a paragraph, when appropriate, acknowledging support for the work. It can include contributions that do not justify authorship, technical support, and financial and technical help. This is also an appropriate place to mention previous presentations (e.g., as an abstract or poster at a meeting).
Author Disclosure Statement
Immediately following the Acknowledgments section, include a section entitled "Author Disclosure Statement." This text must be part of your actual manuscript file. In this portion of the article, authors must disclose any commercial associations that might create a conflict of interest in connection with submitted manuscripts. This statement should include appropriate information for EACH author, thereby representing that competing financial interests of all authors have been appropriately disclosed according to the policy of the Journal. It is important that all conflicts of interest, whether they are actual or potential, be disclosed. This information will remain confidential while the article is being reviewed and will not influence the editorial decision. Please see the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals at www.icmje.org/index.htlm#conflicts for further guidance. If no conflicts exist, the authors must state "No competing financial interests exist."
Cite references within the text using superscript Arabic numbers (e.g., "as previously described."1,4) List references in text in numerical order. Do not use "ibid," but instead repeat the number of the citation. The reference list at the end of the article should be double-spaced and organized by Arabic numbers. Use journal abbreviations as provided by MEDLINE.® List all authors up to 6 authors. If there are more than 6 authors, list 3 and then et al. If references to personal communications or unpublished data are used, they are not to be included in the list of references. They should be referred to in the text in parentheses, including date. Include, among the references, articles accepted but not yet published; provide the journal, title, and the designation "In press." If it is necessary to cite an abstract, this should be so designated. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references, and are reminded that inaccurate and dishonest references are highly frustrating to the reader, the cited author, and indexing services. Please follow the samples below. Translate titles of articles into English and place the original language in brackets.

Website: Include name of website, and URL, starting with www. Include month, day, and year accessed.
A minimum of 3 references is required. References should be numbered consecutively in the text; do not alphabetize the reference list, but present citations in numerical order to correspond with mention in the text. References cited only in tables or figures should be numbered in accordance with the order established by the first mention of that table or figure in the text.
Avoid citing "personal communications" unless they provide essential information; do not list them in the references but place them parenthetically in the text. Authors should obtain permission from the source of such communications and indicate the date they occurred and whether the communication was oral or written. Also include the first name, surname, and degree of the source.
Do NOT include tables or figures within your text file. All tables should be prepared in one collective file, preferably with one table to a page. Upload single file containing all tables to Manuscript Central as "Table(s)" under file designation. Number tables consecutively in the text as they appear. Provide a title for each table, as well as column headings. Be sure to cite all table(s) in text. Provide footnotes for explanatory material, using the following symbols in sequence: * † ‡ § || #. Identify statistical measures, such as mean (SD). Data from other sources require permission and a statement of such in a table footnote. The use of too many tables in relation to length of text may cause problems for journal page layout. Avoid duplicating data in text and tables/figures, with the exception of main outcomes.
Do NOT embed figures in the text file. Letters, numbers, and symbols should be clear and of sufficient size when printed in the Journal. If pictures of patients are used, either the subjects must be completely unidentifiable or written informed consent must be obtained and submitted.
Electronic submission of figures is permitted with the following caveats:
• Do NOT include any illustrations as part of your text file.
• Do NOT prepare any figures in Word as they are not usable.
• Line illustrations must be submitted at 600 dots per inch (dpi).
• Halftones and color photos should be submitted at a minimum of 300 dpi.
• Do not submit PowerPoint files.
• Save art as either .TIFF or .EPS files. Avoid submitting .jpg files.
• Color art must be saved as CYMK, not as RGB.
- Name figure files using only alphanumeric characters. Do not use symbols, dots, or dashes.
- File names should be formatted with first author's last name and the figure number. (Ex: SmithFig1)
Figures reprinted from other sources should be acknowledged in the legend, and permission must be granted. The legend should be submitted as part of the text and not typed on the actual figure. Clearly identify all symbols and abbreviations, and explain scales if necessary. Any other explanatory information should be given in the legend.
Submission and Editing Process
All submissions must be in English. Appropriate use of the English language is a requirement for review and publication in Medical Acupuncture. For authors whose native language is not English, we suggest using a service that can aid in the translation and rewriting of material into correct and proper English usage. The Publisher offers this service with a subsidy from the author prior to official submission (contact: email@example.com). It is important to note that employing the use of the Publisher's service does not guarantee acceptance of any paper. All submissions are subject to peer review. The Journal prefers that the article be composed using a 12-point font in Microsoft Word. All accepted submissions are subject to copyediting.
Submit all manuscript components ONLINE via Manuscript Central at:http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/acupuncture The author's request to withdraw the manuscript after undergoing the editing process will result in possible penalty fees based on editing costs, and possible exclusion from future publishing in Medical Acupuncture.
Manuscript Review Process
Each manuscript will be initially reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief for preliminary acceptance or rejection. The manuscript is then forwarded to appropriate experts for review and scored appropriately (peer review). The manuscripts are categorized as fully accepted, accepted pending revisions, or rejected with recommendations for re-submission. After submission, no revisions or new versions will be accepted unless requested by the Editor-in-Chief.
Reprints may be ordered by following the special instructions that will accompany page proofs, and should be ordered at the time the corresponding author returns the corrected page proofs to the Publisher. Reprints ordered after an issue is printed will be charged at a substantially higher rate.
READERS: The standard nomenclature was revised May 2002.
The following names and abbreviations are to be used in Medical Acupuncture. Recent changes in nomenclature have been adopted by the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture (AAMA) and are to be used in all articles submitted to the Journal. Please pay strict attention to these changes. For the most part, this is the system endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO). Common English anatomical, physiological, and pathological terms are capitalized to indicate their Chinese medical meanings, for example, Lung, Blood, Heat Deficiency, etc. The Alphabetic Code was agreed on by participants and observers at a meeting of the WHO Scientific Group held in 1989.

The Publisher is committed to helping protect the integrity of the public scientific record by sharing reasonable concerns with authorities who are in the position to conduct an appropriate investigation into an allegation. As such, all allegations of misconduct will be referred to the Editor-In-Chief of the Journal who in turn will review the circumstances, possibly in consultation with associate editors and/or members of the editorial board. Initial fact-finding will usually include a request to all the involved parties to state their case and explain the circumstances in writing. In questions of research misconduct centering on methods or technical issues, the Editor-In-Chief may confidentially consult experts who are blinded to the identity of the individuals, or if the allegation is against an editor, an outside expert. The Editor-In-Chief will arrive at a conclusion as to whether there is enough reasonable evidence that the possibility of misconduct occurred.
When allegations concern authors, the peer review and publication process for the manuscript in question will cease while the process described herein is researched. The investigation will be taken to completion even if the authors withdraw their paper. In the case of allegations against reviewers or editors, they will be replaced in the review process while the matter is investigated.
Editors or reviewers who are found to have engaged in scientific misconduct will be removed from further association with the Journal, and reported to their institution.
If an inquiry concludes there is a reasonable possibility of misconduct, the Editor-in-Chief will retract the paper from the Journal and the scientific record. If the paper is still under peer review, the Editor-in-Chief will withdraw the paper from consideration to the Journal.
All allegations will be kept confidential.

I'd like to open an account viagra with no hassles With Labor Day almost upon us, the annual debate on banning flavored milk in schools has hit the airwaves. Simple as it may seem, milk is a lightning rod for controversy. How did milk get so complicated? And what does scientific research offer by way of answers?

That word you're looking for is Polyptych, Robin. I know, it sondus like something that will require at least minor surgery in the near future.Lol!I love the idea of multi-panelled work that can be moved around and reconfigured. And just as an aside, I'm also loving that extra touch of warmth the red edges are offering, even though I know they are going to go away. Together it reminds me of firelight, which is one of my very most favorite things.Your work is beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing.

Capt. Greg McWherter, commanding officer for the flight demonstration squadron of the Blue Angels, leads a formation of F/A-18 Hornets during the Tuscaloosa Regional Air Show in Tuscaloosa, Ala., in this March 30, 2012 file photo.
With $85 billion in automatic cuts to the federal budget taking effect beginning Friday, millions of fans across the country will miss out on precision flying by the Navy's Blue Angels and the Air Force's Thunderbirds, military officials said.
Blue Angels shows scheduled in more than two dozen cities between April and September are expected to be canceled as part of the cuts, said the team's spokeswoman, Lt. Katie Kelly. The Navy intends to cancel the four shows in April -- in Tampa, Fla.; Corpus Christi, Texas; Vidalia, Ga.; and Beaufort, S.C. -- but hasn't made a decision about the rest of the year, hoping to salvage some of the season, a senior U.S. military official told NBC News.
Some shows featuring the Blue Angels already have been called off in the face of budget uncertainties.
The Thunderbirds entire 2013 season, beginning April 1, has been canceled, the Air Force said in a statement. The Air Force said that all aviation support for the public has been halted, including air shows, trade shows, flyovers and open houses.
The grounding would be a sentimental loss for fans but not as serious as other reductions to defense spending, which President Barack Obama said could threaten military readiness. The Defense Department said the cuts would slash ship and aircraft maintenance, curtail training and result in 22 days' unpaid leave for most of the Pentagon's 800,000 civilian employees.
For the Navy, programs such as the Blue Angels would take a back seat to "making sure ships are seaworthy and planes are airworthy for the war fighters who are operating overseas," said Lt. John Supple, spokesman for the Chief of Naval Air Training in Corpus Christi, Texas.
The news has saddened longtime fans, disappointed city leaders and sparked an online petition to the White House to save the Blue Angels' season. About 1,200 people had signed as of Thursday.
"They're an American icon, and they really resonate in a military town," said Ashton Hayward, mayor of Pensacola, Florida, home to the naval air station where the Blue Angels are based.

Members of the Blue Angels aerobatic team perform during the Andrews Air Show at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, in 2006.
Pensacola's Blue Angels beach show each July pumps an additional $2.5 million into the local economy, according to a 2012 study.
"People plan their annual family trips around the shows and the impact on business is phenomenal," Hayward said. "If the Blue Angels end, it's going to be a sad, sad day for not just us, but for millions of people all over the country."
Shows called off
Air shows scheduled for May at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina, and for June in Indianapolis, already have been canceled, organizers and U.S. Air Force officials announced in recent weeks.
The budget cuts will affect cities from Seattle to North Kingstown, Rhode Island, where the Rhode Island National Guard Air Show draws thousands of visitors to the small town each year.
The city's Quonset Air Base closed in the 1970s, but a sense of military pride still runs deep. Losing the Blue Angels would deal a huge blow for the show in late June, said Elizabeth Dolan, North Kingstown's town council president.
Related story: Obama warns against military spending cuts
"Everybody looks forward to when they come," she said. "They fly right up over my house, and it's amazing and emotional to watch."
The Blue Angels program began in 1946 and costs about $40 million a year. Cancelling the bulk of the performing season would save about $28 million, according to Navy officials.
Because of the timing of the cuts, the Angels will still perform in March at the El Centro Air Show in southern California and the Southernmost Air Spectacular show in Key West, Florida.
The 130-person team, which includes seven pilots, consists of members who have served in high-level tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Should the budget cuts go into effect, the team would be reassigned until there is enough money for them to take to the skies again, Supple said.
Pilot Dave Tickle, a 32-year-old from Birmingham, Alabama, said he was inspired to become an expert naval pilot after watching Blue Angels performances during family vacations to Pensacola when he was a child. He is now a lieutenant commander in the Navy and the Blue Angels' lead solo pilot.
"I remember looking up at these shining blue and gold precision aircraft and thinking, 'I want to do that.' It gave me a feeling of amazement and pride," he said.
NBC News Chief Pentagon Correspondent Jim Miklaszewski and producer Courtney Kube contributed to this report.

Friend: Zimmerman cries for help on 911 call
Today's news from the Associated Press was selected by Media Writing student Stacy Haigler.
After the call was played for Sondra Osterman in the courtroom, defense attorney Mark O'Mara asked who it was.
"Yes, definitely. It's Georgie," said Sondra Osterman, who testified she first met Zimmerman in 2006 while working with him at a mortgage company.
The 911 call captured the confrontation between Zimmerman and Martin shortly before Zimmerman fatally shot the teen. Zimmerman's mother and uncle testified last Friday it was Zimmerman screaming. Martin's mother and brother also took the witness stand last Friday to say the voice belongs to Martin. The 911 call is a crucial bit of evidence and has been played for jurors repeatedly because it could determine who the aggressor was in the confrontation last year.
Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch volunteer, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and says he shot Martin in self-defense during a scuffle in the townhome complex where he lived. Martin was there visiting his father and his father's fiancee.
Prosecutors contend that Zimmerman was profiling Martin and perceived the teen as someone suspicious in the neighborhood, which had been the site of a series of break-ins.
Under cross-examination, prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda implied that Sondra Osterman and her husband, Mark, had a stake in the outcome of the trial because they had written a book about Zimmerman's case and were donating the proceeds to their friend. Mark Osterman took the witness stand after his wife to testify about how Zimmerman had purchased his firearm.
The prosecutor also played for Sondra Osterman a nonemergency police call Zimmerman made to report Martin walking through his neighborhood. In the call, Zimmerman uses the words, "F—— punks. These a——-. They always get away." Sondra Osterman identified the voice as Zimmerman's.
When asked by O'Mara if she detected ill will, spite or hatred in his voice, she answered no.
Prosecutors must show that Zimmerman acted with ill will, spite or a depraved mind in order to get a second-degree murder conviction.

Southern Insurance Group, an independent insurance agency in Clermont, Florida, was started June of 2008 as a means to offer the local community the best insurance and financial products, rates, and services that the insurance marketplace affords. We have accomplished this by securing the most competitive carriers to represent all of our various lines of insurance and financial services.
The owners, Tom and Tish Johnson, have been residents of Clermont for the past 18 years and bring over 28 years of insurance and financial planning experience with them when they opened up the agency in 2008. Prior to this, they worked for a captive insurance agency for the past 20 years.
The need to offer more competitive Home Insurance markets became apparent after the 2004 hurricane losses which brought so many restrictions to the captive marketplace with carriers such as State Farm, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Nationwide, Farm Bureau to name a few. Because of these captive carriers having so many Homeowners Insurance restrictions, Tom and Tish felt it was the right time to open up an independent agency in their hometown in Clermont, thus the beginning of Southern Insurance Group.
Being insured with our agency means that you have choices. See not every auto and home insurance company offers the best products and rates for a particular risk. Some carriers may have good rates for newer homes but poor rates for homes over 30 years of age. Most of the captive Home and Auto Insurance carriers listed above, have very limited home insurance markets due to restrictions and narrow guidelines which in turn equates to rates that are usually very uncompetitive. We, on the other hand, are able to shop with our extensive list of companies, to find the carrier that specializes in the best coverage and pricing for your particular risk.
To date, Southern Insurance Group is proud to say we represent the most competitive commercial, auto, life, health and home insurance in Clermont as well as the remainder of the State of FL. In addition to our insurance products, we offer a wide array of financial products to round out our agency so be sure to ask us about how to maximize your retirement dollars.
With one simple phone call or email, our agents will provide you with quote comparisons with all the top carriers in the marketplace. In addition, since we are a full service agency, we will be able to provide a complimentary review all your other insurance or financial policies and products.
Because we offer excellent package policy discounts for your home, auto, umbrella and life we will show you how you can maximize all your discounts to improve your overall premiums. Saving money, providing excellent customer service and getting things done correctly the first time is our mission statement.
Below are some of the insurance and financial products that we specialize in so please let us know how we can be of service.
Give us a call or email today and let us go to work for you! You won't be disappointed.
Kind Regards,
Tom Johnson - President
We specialize in the following lines of insurance and financial products.
Life happens, and we are there for you when it does.

Fans congregate to rally behind Puig for Final Vote
Dodgers rookie phenom needs help as he trails Freeman in latest results
BURBANK, Calif. -- It was difficult to tell which was louder: the sound from Yasiel Puig's bat on another hit by the rookie outfielder, or the cheers from Dodgers fans rooting on the Cuban sensation at the Dodgers All-Star viewing and voting party on Monday night.
Puig and teammate Adrian Gonzalez are two of the five players from the National League on the 2013 All-Star Game Final Vote balloting sponsored by freecreditscore.com. The Dodgers are hosting two more voting parties during the club's series against the D-backs to promote Puig and Gonzalez as they go for a spot on the All-Star team.
Former Dodgers infielder Steve Garvey, a 10-time All-Star, signed autographs and took pictures with fans, while keeping an eye on what Puig was doing in Arizona. Garvey will be at Tuesday's watch party at Barney's Beanery in Pasadena. Wednesday's event will take place at Barney's Beanery in West Hollywood.
Garvey, who is managing the campaign to send Puig to the All-Star game as a write-in candidate, said Puig deserves to play in the Midsummer Classic.
"I think everyone wants to see him," Garvey said. "It's great having Dodgers fans behind this."
Monday was Puig's 33rd game in the Major Leagues. So what about the argument that he hasn't been on the field enough to merit All-Star status?
"It doesn't matter," Garvey said. "He's made such an impact on the Dodgers and L.A. and across the sports world."
Dodgers fans agree.
"Puig energized this team and us," said Robbie Martinez, a lifelong Dodgers supporter.
"We can't wait to see what this guy is going to do next," said Sarah Dunn, covered head to toe in Dodgers blue.
Gonzalez said Sunday he was voting for Puig, who was in second place in the NL voting, closely behind Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman, in a balloting update released Monday.
Now in its 12th year, the 2013 All-Star Game Final Vote sponsored by freecreditscore.com gives baseball fans around the world the opportunity to select the final player on each All-Star team. Balloting began immediately following Saturday's Major League All-Star Selection Show presented by Taco Bell and ends Thursday at 1 p.m. PT. The winners will be announced on MLB.com shortly thereafter.
There will be an extra treat for fans who participate in the Final Vote online. If you are not a current MLB.TV subscriber (MLB.TV or MLB.TV Premium), you are eligible to receive a 14-day free trial of MLB.TV from July 12-26. If you are a current MLB.TV subscriber (MLB.TV or MLB.TV Premium), you will receive a 15 percent discount to the MLB.com Shop. MLB.com will send an email Friday to all Final Vote voters with instructions on how to redeem the applicable offer.
Mobile voting in the U.S. and Canada is open to everyone. In the U.S., to receive the 2013 All-Star Game Final Vote sponsored by freecreditscore.com mobile ballot, text the word "VOTE" to 89269. To vote for Puig, simply text message N5 to 89269, and to vote for Gonzalez, text message N3. In Canada, fans should text N5 or N3 to 101010. Standard message and data rates may apply.
For the second consecutive year, the 2013 All-Star Game MLB.com Final Vote sponsored by freecreditscore.com (#FinalVote) will include a social balloting element as Twitter support from the candidates' fans over the last six hours of balloting will count toward their final vote totals. From 7 a.m.-1 p.m. PT on Thursday, any tweet that includes a designated player hashtag will be tabulated as part of the overall vote total used to determine the American League and National League winners. Fans may follow @MLB on the popular social networking service for the latest standings updates in advance of the 1 p.m. PT balloting deadline.
The fun doesn't end there, however. Fans, having already decided the starters and final player on each team, once again will have the opportunity to participate in the official voting for the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player presented by Chevrolet via the 2013 All-Star Game MVP Vote on MLB.com during the All-Star Game.
The 84th All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX Sports, in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS, and worldwide by partners in more than 200 countries via MLB International's independent feed. ESPN Radio and ESPN Radio Deportes will provide national radio coverage of the All-Star Game. MLB Network and SiriusXM also will also provide comprehensive All-Star Week coverage. For more information, please visit allstargame.com.
If Puig win the Final Vote, he would join Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw on this year's NL All-Star team. Kershaw was selected in balloting of players. Nomar Garciaparra became the only Dodger to earn an All-Star berth through the Final Vote process in 2006, while Matt Kemp was a runner-up in 2009.

In today's social media driven world it seems like all companies are using social media and are trying to be the experts in the field. But as we all know creating a Facebook page or Twitter handle and frequently shouting about your brand is not likely to make you an expert in social media.
This post comes as a result of the Twitter storm that was sparked around Adele the night of the Grammys. This suggests that personalities work better than brands with online conversations often backfiring on brands and advertising often taking over true conversations. Instead, it is about being able to create content which users can discuss, share and recommend while also supporting customer service and experience.
There is no doubt that brands must embrace social media. The fast-changing landscape means that many companies remain confused about exactly why they are on social media sites – beyond the usual talk about building a fan base there are many ways that brands can interact with customers using social media including handling customer complaints, offering discounts and listening to online conversations.
There are only a small number of brands that are using social media to really connect and interact with customers. For example Dell, has a social media 'listening command centre' that identifies customer service issues along with brand evangelists. KLM also is using social media to improve customer service and gleam customer insights. They have a unique 24hr customer service platform on Facebook and Twitter, employees held up large poster with individual letters and created a living alphabet that was videoed and sent to customers to spell out customer questions. Unisys also has a social knowledge sharing platform for employees to network and share information.
Another great example of a brand excelling in their use of social media is American Steak house 'Morton's', who identified that a social media guru tweeted about craving a @Mortons steak after a long flight. Morton Steak House acted quickly and used this as a media opportunity organising a number of employees to greet the influencer with a juicy steak at the arrivals gate. This highlights the importance of noticing a PR opportunity and acting fast.
Looking at these brands examples gives useful insights into why these companies are succeeding in social media.The small handful that really are using social media successfully are listening and communicating with their customers by two way communication that is not overly brand biased. Improving customer service is a key theme flowing through the above examples; customers who feel like they are listened too and understood are likely to be more loyal to the brand. Successful brands are talking to customers about what they actually care about.
Brands who demonstrate understanding, creativity and innovative thinking which moves them out of their comfort zones seems to be winning ingredient.

An Outlaw Street Race, for a Good Cause
By J. DAVID GOODMAN
New York Times, November 24, 2009
Stepping off the Long Island Rail Road with his custom-made fixed gear folding bike early Saturday afternoon, Robert A. Butler planned a bit of riding before heading to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
But it was aesthetics of a different sort — "I followed someone on a beautiful bike†— that drew him to Madison Square Park, where scores of bike messengers, fixed gear aficionados and other risk-courting riders were registering for a charity bike race through the streets of Manhattan.
