Officially not good: Kings 116 – Bucks 102
Category: Recaps
|Ersan Ilyasova, PF Shot Chart 30 MIN | 3-8 FG | 3-4 FT | 5 REB | 2 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 9 PTS | -15
NOMENTUM. Looks like Ersan's 31 point game on Monday was just a 31 point game on Monday and not a tipping point in his season that led to bigger and better things. Who EVER could have seen that coming!?
|Khris Middleton, PF Shot Chart 29 MIN | 4-14 FG | 1-2 FT | 4 REB | 1 AST | 2 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 11 PTS | -22
He had a fair share of struggles attempting to guard the larger, quicker, stronger and faster Rudy Gay, who posted him up a few times and was able to make some long jumpers other times. Gay has become a more difficult cover since arriving in Sacramento and starting to play good basketball, so it's tough to heap too much blame on Middleton for having issues. Unfortunately he couldn't do much on the other end to make up for any deficiencies on defense.
|Zaza Pachulia, C Shot Chart 16 MIN | 2-5 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 3 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 3 TO | 4 PTS | -15
Zaza doesn't do ALL of the little things in the world. He does his share, but he doesn't do all of them. Unfortunately, his share doesn't really make up for the general suckfest he's been putting up regularly since the All-Star break let out. He picked up two defensive three second violations on one possession that spurred a round of "JOEY CRAWFORD IS REFFING" tweets. That's fair, but ultimately players are responsible for where they are on the court. Refs are not out to get everyone.
|Brandon Knight, PG Shot Chart 33 MIN | 7-13 FG | 9-10 FT | 5 REB | 6 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | 25 PTS | -11
His combination of body strength, control and a willingness to put himself in harms way for the sake of getting to the basket is worthy of envy. On a few different occasions he took pretty hard fouls after drives to the hoop into guys like DeMarcus Cousins and Reggie Evans. He paid for them physically, then they paid off, at the free throw line. Seems like he's been more willing to take these lumps and finish as the year has gone on. Good for him. Fun to watch.
|Nate Wolters, PG Shot Chart 24 MIN | 4-6 FG | 0-0 FT | 2 REB | 2 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | 8 PTS | -4
I'm unclear on exactly what "Nateing" is, but I'm pretty sure he did it at some point. He DEFINITELY did it if "it" is making a floater. He did it a couple times then.
|Jeff Adrien, PF Shot Chart 22 MIN | 6-9 FG | 3-3 FT | 5 REB | 1 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 15 PTS | +2
This was not a classic Jeff Adrien game. He and Reggie Evans seemed to cancel each other out, both finishing with only five rebounds. Milwaukee called on Adrien to attempt to slow Cousins at one point, but he wasn't much more effective than John Henson, who was very ineffective. But Adrien hit a couple of jump shots and was able to toss in a few garbage baskets late to set a new career high with 15 points. Huzzah!
|Tony Mitchell, F Shot Chart 3 MIN | 1-2 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 2 PTS | +6
Never again will anyone be able to say to Tony Mitchell that he hasn't scored a basket in the NBA. He posted up, rose over Ray McCallum and finished a bank shot late in the fourth quarter. That's a cool thing to happen in a guy's life.
|Miroslav Raduljica, C Shot Chart 4 MIN | 0-0 FG | 0-0 FT | 0 REB | 2 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 0 PTS | +6
Moves slow.
|John Henson, C Shot Chart 24 MIN | 2-6 FG | 2-4 FT | 7 REB | 1 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 6 PTS | -6
It's been a while since Henson played well. He told reporters after the game about his sophomore slump, but he hasn't really needed to say that for a while – it's been evident. The bigger problem to me is just that he doesn't seem to have much of a feel for the game. Are we sure he's improved at all since his first day in Milwaukee? I know his numbers are fine, but he doesn't seem to be any more aware of cutters or any better at screening in March of 2014 than he was in November 2012.
|Ramon Sessions, PG Shot Chart 17 MIN | 2-5 FG | 4-4 FT | 3 REB | 3 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 2 TO | 9 PTS | -11
Free throws and such.
Four Things We Saw
- The Kings seemed to isolate and post-up a lot, which doesn't exactly sound like the recipe for an effective offense, but it worked wonders against a much less physically talented Milwaukee team. Cousins, Gay and Isaiah Thomas (who wasn't posting up so much) combined for 68 points while all shooting 50% or better and making at least four free throws.
- Reporters were almost at a loss for words after the game. There were only two questions for Larry Drew. I had none. What can even be said? The team played poorly. We can dance around and talk about energy, effort or matchups, but ultimately, the Bucks are a team full of mediocre players. You know how I know that? Mediocre players are the kinds of players who can't be relied on every night. Consistency is what separates out really good players. Milwaukee has a roster full of players who lack consistency.
- We dared dream too big here at Bucksketball. The elusive two game Bucks winning streak remains elusive as ever.
- There was a lot of debate about what the exact score was throughout the fourth quarter and after the game. I was handed an "unofficial" box score after the game with the word unofficial circled for emphasis. Some people cared a great deal about this, which is what their job is to do. I did not care so much about it, because we could all agree that the Bucks were terrible, regardless of what the exact numbers were.
About the Author (Author Profile)Jeremy Schmidt writes the Milwaukee Bucks blog Bucksketball. He founded it in January of 2009 because he hated his job. It's like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I'm sorry. He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task. He isn't sure if this should be in third person or not. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com if you must use e-mail.

Giannis's play was undeserving of any sort of grade or mention?
hey the bucks are pretty neat
Came to read about Giannis and was disappoint.
The question in my mind is whether John Henson is really not very good or whether he's not getting good coaching. My hunch is that it's the latter, that he hasn't been given much help with technique or with his psyche — and that he hasn't been given consistent minutes since he joined the Bucks (three coaches in two years).
Does anyone really get better during their time with the Bucks? Perhaps I'm way off, but I'm much more concerned with the possibility of mediocre ownership, mediocre general managership and mediocre coaching. There seems to be a malaise with this team that starts from the top down. Is there any enthusiasm coming from the guys in the suits to the guys in the uniforms, any encouragement or support, any order or direction… any hope, any life?
When energetic and likeable young guys like John and Larry seem to go stagnant and even backwards, what's the deal? What do others see?
P.S. I'd start John for the rest of the season, give him about 30 minutes, and really get behind him. I wouldn't run the offense through him, but just tell him to hustle, crash the boards, block some shots, and take that hook shot from time to time. Then in the offseason, I'd work with him on his jumper from 15-20 feet, and probably a lot of other things — but this guy is going to be good! So is Larry! (Don't bulk them up too much, either.)
Agree; however, I will say that I've seen major improvement from Brandon Knight, Nate Wolters, and Kris Middleton this year, from last year and from the beginning of this year to now. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with opportunity, experience, comfort, and confidence but perhaps some of it has to do with the coaching too?
It also angers me that the Bucks' brass haven't decided to give Brandon Knight, Nate Wolters, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kris Middleton, and John Henson each the majority of the minutes of a game, every game (unless they foul out). Brandon and Nate should get a mix of time at both G positions, Kris and Giannis should get a mix of the time between SG and SF to get their 30+ minutes (though Kris could probably get some time at PF too if the team were to play some small ball) and give John time between both the PF and C positions.
I don't even understand why Zaza is getting any court time outside of emergency time given that he doesn't need any developmental work — he is who he is and it's already a known thing — and the only reason Ersan and OJ should be getting significant minutes is if the team is trying to showcase them for potential off-season moves. Given that Ramon and Jeff are unlikely to be key features of this team going forward they should not be getting major minutes either, but they could get some fill-in time to see if they appear as potential role players for the Bucks to sign to cheap short-term contracts for next season. If there's any other player who might warrant being showcased some its Tony Mitchell to see if he has a game that can transition to the NBA though I wouldn't let him take any time away from Giannis or Kris that might drop either of those players below 30 minutes a game.
Lastly, WTF are the coaches doing with J.Henson? I agree with Jeremy Schmidt – Has he's improved much since his first day in Milwaukee? He doesn't seem to be any more aware of cutters or any better at screening in March of 2014 than he was in November 2012. Maybe the team needs to hire or bring in a better big man coach.
As a fan of the team I would have been pissed off about paying to attend the game last night had I of attended it (instead I just watched it on TV at a bar) because I would have gone with the sole purpose of seeing Giannis play which he barely did.
feel bad f
that was weird.. anyways feel bad for Henson, playing out of position and in intermittent intervals.. guy should be starting, but still needs plenty is seasoning
Random question: what is the record for wins in a season without a 2 game winning streak. Maybe we could make history this year?!
If all of your per game stats are an improvement over your rookie year, can you really be in a sophomore slump? I thought the sophomore slump was slumping from where you were as a rookie?

Thank you pinky toe! Small and powerful.
How the pinky toe can change your body and spiritual mindedness.
Anusara Yoga Instructor, Elizabeth Goodman, takes an intricate look at The Svadharma of the Pinky Toe. She inspects the duty or calling of this tiny phalange. The little guy on the end that may fall under the neighboring toe, or have such a tiny nail that polish can barely hang on, or it sticks out of your shoes or scrunches in to fit in a pair of shoes:
The pinky toes are homely looking things, they do not fit well into most women's shoes, they rather painfully bump into things, and they are hard to move independently. They are not essential for living and do not have the emotional charge of the heart and brain, the exquisite connection to the world of the sense organs, or the connection to life itself of the lungs.
The point is, that this little pinky toe has the ability to change the whole body.As she continues with:
Despite this, the call to lift and spread the toes, to draw the pinky toe toward the heel, or the hip happens just about every time I go to the mat in my practice or teach a class. Activating the pinky toe by opening it and spreading it apart from the other toes is a conscious act of opening that helps hug the shins to the midline. In hugging the shins in by means of activating the pinky toe, the yogi on the mat can then safely move the thighs back and apart, creating an expansion of the pelvic floor that provides room for more strongly tucking under the tailbone to access core power.
It's a great reminder of the function and form of the human body. And upon greater examination, the pinky toe's power is a great lesson for life off our yoga mats:
Off the mat, when all parts of the whole are fully conscious of and know their svadharma, the whole will itself have more consciousness, more light, and better experience the bliss of being. It is easy to see, without judgment or question, that the pinky toe cannot do the work of the heart, although when the pinky toe is working it can help contribute to an integration of mind and body that will further the opening of the heart and thus the whole person.
Stretch out so you can hug in. Thank you pinky toe!

Year-end review: 9 tips to cut home insurance costs
With these cost-cutting tips, you can save 20 percent or more on your homeowners insurance premiums. Before the year ends, do this quick review.
This post comes from Allison Martin at partner site Money Talks News.
Although you may dread doling out large sums of cash for your homeowners policy year after year, you simply can't afford to go without it. That would be crazy. However, you don't have to break the bank to carry suitable coverage.
It's nearly 2014, so it's time for a year-end review of how much you're paying for homeowners insurance. We have some tips that can help you slash your homeowners insurance rates by 20% or possibly more.
1. Increase your deductible
The more liability you assume, the lower the rate you'll pay. You can save 10 percent to 30 percent on your premium by raising your deductible from $250 to $1,000.
Afraid that you may not be able to afford the higher amount you'll pay out-of-pocket in the event of an emergency? Simply beef up your emergency fund to cover the increase. That way, the money will be there when you need it, and you'll save a substantial amount of money each year on your policy.
2. Check for multiline discounts
It pays to bundle up. According to the Insurance Information Institute, some companies will reduce the price of your policy by 5 percent to 15 percent if you purchase two or more policies with them.
3. Don't overinsure (but don't underinsure either)
This is often confusing to people: You want sufficient insurance to cover the cost of replacing your home from scratch -- not the market value of your house and the land it sits on. Verify the amount your insurance company says is the replacement cost by having a home builder give you a separate estimate.
One study found that more than two-thirds of U.S. homeowners don't carry sufficient insurance to pay for the replacement of their home. You don't want to cut corners here.
Also make sure your insurance will cover the cost to replace the contents of your home with new items.
4. Shop around
For this year-end review, carve out a chunk of time to shop online for more affordable insurance.
If you find a better deal elsewhere, ask your current insurer whether you can get a better rate. You may find you qualify for discounts you're not aware of.
If you are considering switching companies, research the financial health of the new company. There's no point in paying thousands in premiums and being unable to recoup any losses if you must file a claim. An analysis can be done through independent rating agencies, such as A.M. Best and Standard & Poor's, and your state insurance department.
5. Inquire about discounts you may be eligible for
Although they vary by insurance company, you may qualify for discounts if you:
- Reside in a home with certain upgrades.
- Have not filed a claim in a specified number of years.
- Don't allow smoking inside your home.
Those who are senior citizens or associated with certain professional organizations may also be eligible for discounts. Call your insurer to see what discounts may be available to you.
6. Secure your home with an alarm
A number of insurers offer discounts of at least 5% if your home is equipped with a smoke detector, burglar alarm or dead-bolt locks. This amount may increase to 15% or more if your alarm has active monitoring with dispatch capabilities, and your home contains a modern sprinkler system, the Insurance Information Institute says.
7. Remain loyal
The Insurance Information Institute also says that your insurance company may provide a 5% discount if you have been with it for at least three to five years, and 10% for six or more years. Although this incentive is enticing, it is still important to shop around annually to ensure you are getting the best price.
8. Review the policy limits
Be sure that your insurance is sufficient to cover the replacement cost of everything in your house, including valuables that become worth more over time. On the other hand, if you no longer own valuable diamond jewelry or an extensive collection of art, you no longer want to be paying for the extra coverage.
This year-end review is a good time to make sure your inventory of your possessions, including photos or a video, is up-to-date and saved somewhere outside your home -- for instance, in the cloud. Don't have an inventory of your possession? Compile one now.
9. Maintain good credit
Premiums may be higher or applicants may not even be eligible for homeowners coverage if they have poor credit scores. Check out these tips to improve your credit.

NIH Report: PCBs, Other Pollutants May Delay Pregnancy
Study finds delays after exposure to pesticides, industrial chemicals (Nov. 14)
Couples with high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and similar environmental pollutants take longer to achieve pregnancy in comparison with other couples with lower levels of the pollutants, according to a preliminary study by researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other institutions.
PCBs are chemicals that have been used as coolants and lubricants in electrical equipment. They are part of a category of chemicals known as persistent organochlorine pollutants and include industrial chemicals and chemical byproducts as well as pesticides. In many cases, the compounds are present in soil, water, and the food chain. The compounds are resistant to decay and may persist in the environment for decades. Some — known as persistent lipophilic organochlorine pollutants — accumulate in fatty tissues. Another type — perfluorochemicals (PFCs) — are used in clothing, furniture, adhesives, food packaging, heat-resistant non-stick cooking surfaces, and the insulation of electrical wire.
Exposure to these pollutants is known to have a number of effects on human health, but their effects on human fertility — and the likelihood of couples achieving pregnancy — have not been extensively studied.
"Our findings suggest that persistent organochlorine pollutants may play a role in pregnancy delay," said the study's lead author, Germain Buck Louis, PhD.
Louis added that individuals may limit their exposure by removing and avoiding the fat of meat and fish, and by limiting the consumption of animal products.
The new findings were published online in Environmental Health Perspectives.
To conduct the study, the researchers enrolled 501 couples in Michigan and Texas from 2005 to 2009. The couples were part of the Longitudinal Investigation of Fertility and the Environment (LIFE) study, which was conducted to examine the relationship between fertility and exposure to environmental chemicals and lifestyle. An earlier analysis from the LIFE study found that high blood levels of lead and cadmium also were linked to pregnancy delay.
The women participating in the study ranged from 18 to 44 years of age, and the men were over 18. Couples provided blood samples for the analysis of organochlorines and PFCs. The women kept journals to record their monthly menstrual cycles and the results of home pregnancy tests. The couples were followed until pregnancy or for up to 1 year of trying.
The researchers calculated the probability that a couple would achieve pregnancy by using a statistical measure called the fecundability odds ratio (FOR). This measure estimates couples' probability of pregnancy each cycle, based on their blood concentration of the compounds. A ratio of less than 1.0 suggests a longer time to pregnancy, while a ratio of greater than 1.0 suggests a shorter time to pregnancy.
The researchers examined PCB congeners — single, unique well-defined chemical compounds in the PCB category.
The lowest FORs were seen for couples in which the women were exposed to PCB congener 167 (FOR = 0.79) and in which the men were exposed to PCB congener 138 (FOR = 0.71). For each standardized increase in the chemical concentration measured by the researchers, the odds of pregnancy declined by 18% to 21% for women exposed to PCB congeners 118, 167, and 209, and to the PFC perfluorooctane sulfonamide. Perfluorooctane sulfonamide belongs to a broad class of compounds known as perfluoroalkyls, which have been used in fire-fighting foams.
With increasing exposure, the odds of pregnancy decreased by 17% to 29% for couples in which the men were exposed to PCB congeners 138, 156, 157, 167, 170, 172, and 209, and to dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), which is produced when the pesticide dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) degrades in the environment. DDT is banned for use in the U.S., but is still used in some countries.
The investigators noted that they could not rule out the possibility that some of the delays they observed may have been due to exposure to multiple chemicals. They added that these associations would need to be confirmed by other researchers.

Dino D-Day Coming to Steam on March 1Few would argue that the world has seen no greater enemy than the Nazis. How can the Nazis be even more terrifying? When they team up with dinosaurs, that's how.
Set in an alternate history, Dino D-Day is a multiplayer shooter set in World War II where players square off against the two destructive forces. Originally released as a "prototype" Half-Life 2 mod--still available on FileShack--Dino D-Day will soon launch as a standalone, commercial product.
The game concept sounds insane and entertaining, also insane (but not entertaining) was the method in which the release date was announced. In a PR blast "sincerely" signed by Adolf Hitler, developer 800 North revealed the game's release date. Yes. A PR blast from Hitler. Who thought that was a good idea?
On March 1, 2011, PC gamers will have a chance to go toe-to-toe with the brutal Nazi soldiers and their Cretaceous era compatriots, exclusively on Steam.

The community thinks...
Acura Fan by Tim from West Palm Beach on 03/31/2009. Trim: 2008 Acura RDX 5-Spd AT, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Handling, acceleration. Acura matches SHAWD with Turbo power nicely.
Cons: Not much. small items like no auto/onoff lights, non-power passenger seat.
Overall review: Been an Acura customer since 1996 (TL). Have a 2001 RL with 110k miles which my daughter will take to college in the fall and probably get another 65-75K miles out of. Test drove the MDX but just didn't need a vehicle that size. The RDX acceleration and handling reminds me of my TL which I find amazing. Also drove Lexus RX and Mercedes 350. Neither vehicle matches the RDX. The new Mercedes GLK comes close.

In 2007, eight researchers were awarded grants by MSIF enabling them to travel to work on MS projects in Australia, Austria, the USA and the UK.
Stephan visited the Department of Immunopathology at the Center of Brain Research in Vienna, Austria to work on a collaborative project on inflammation and remyelination in progressive MS with the Neuropathology Laboratory at the Danish Research Centre, Copenhagen University Hospital, Denmark. He was supervised in the host institution by Prof. Hans Lassmann and Dr. Peter Patrikios. On three separate visits, Stephan learned to identify and stage MS lesions and remyelination and special immunohistochemical staining procedures that he later used in his own laboratory on the Copenhagen collection of CNS tissue from autopsied MS patients with progressive disease. Lesions from patients that he mapped/categorized were enrolled in an ongoing study on the relation between inflammation and neurodegeneration in progressive MS. He also screened a library of whole brain sections and found cases that could be enrolled in the project on the relation between inflammation/active demyelination and disease subtype (PPMS vs SPMS) or remyelination. Finally, results from the original Copenhagen collection and the whole brain sections from Vienna were reviewed and confirmed by Prof. Lassmann. His data was presented at the AAN in Chicaco 2008 and two manuscripts are in preparation.
Overall, inflammatory demyelination emerges as a hallmark of disease progression emphasising the importance of the development of effective immunosuppression for progressive MS patients.
Carina used her £4,000 grant to travel from the Instituto Leloir at the University of Buenos Aires to the Neurosciences Laboratory at the University of Cambridge in the UK. In Prof Robin Franklin's laboratory, she investigated the heterogeneity of response of an adult CNS stem/precursor population (oligodendrocyte precursor cells or OPCs) in different experimental models of toxin-induced CNS demyelination in rats and mice. The results of this ongoing project will shed light on the different ways in which this important population of adult CNS stem/precursor cells respond to injury and undergo the changes required of myelin regeneration (remyelination). This information will help in broader programmes of work aimed at identifying therapeutic targets to enhance the endogenous remyelination process in demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
This grant has given me the invaluable opportunity to work with one of the leading international scientists in the remyelination field. I have benefited enormously from the opportunity to meet and work with all the members of his lab and I have learnt much from this experience. This fellowship has also allowed me to work in the environment of the University of Cambridge, attending seminars, lectures and scientific meetings – all of which has enriched my scientific experience.
Nilufer's £4000 grant enabled her to travel from the Okmeydani Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul where she was supervised by Prof. Osman Tanik to the Mayo Clinic in the USA where she worked under Prof. Claudia Lucchinetti to complete her project on remyelination in chronic MS autopsies examining the complex relationships between inflammation, demyelination and remyelination. She also had the opportunity to attend classes and receive training at the Mayo Graduate School, in Clinical Epidemiology, Regulatory Issues in Clinical Research, Statistics in Clinical Research and Basic Neuroscience.
All these experiences have helped me to learn first-hand the complex interplay of clinical practice with clinical and translational neuroscience research and better understand the pathophysiology of Multiple Sclerosis … and provided me with the necessary expertise and tools to become an independent MS investigator.
Maria was studying for a PhD at the University of Patras, Greece, and used her £4000 grant to extend her visit to the Immunology and Vaccine Laboratory, Austin Research Institute, Burnet Institute in Australia by a further 6 months. Under Prof. Vasso Apostolopoulos, she worked on immunotherapy of MS using synthetic peptide analogues (cyclic and linear) of myelin epitopes synthesized by her colleagues in the Department of Chemistry, University of Patras, under the supervision of Professor John Matsoukas (co-supervisor).
During her stay, Maria assessed the immunological profile of MBP and PLP analogues and tested these peptide analogues for their ability to suppress EAE (an animal model for MS) both in in vivo and in vitro antagonism experiments. The results so far, are striking and have led to submission of two provisional patents, 4 research papers and one book chapter. A further 5 research papers are in preparation. Overall, the linear [Y91]MBP83-99 peptide conjugated to an appropriate carrier (reduced mannan) showed the best cytokine and antibody profile and could antagonise T cell responses in vitro, thus, giving promise for the immunotherapy of MS, which needs to be pursued for further testing in human studies.
The Du Pré Grant was very useful for my MS research… I was able to finish all my current experiments for my PhD award and also generate enough preclinical data which will form the basis of a clinical trial in MS patients.
The £4000 grant allowed Ya ou Liu to travel from the Department of Radiology at Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University in Beijing to the Howard Florey Institute at the University of Melbourne in Australia, where he investigated the development of a coordinated approach to the assessment of axonal injury as a future platform for the assessment of axonal protective therapies in MS. This work was done under the supervision of Prof. Gary Egan and Prof. Trevor Kilpatrick. Ya ou was responsible for the MRI component of two projects which involved (1) testing the putative axonal and neuro-protective agent anti-LINGO in animal models of MS and (2) MRI longitudinal assessment of experimental therapies in MS (Vitamin D vs Placebo Phase 2 study). He was also involved in the pathologic analysis of the Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) and Cuprizone animal model.
During the visit, I have learned research techniques and methods, as well as integrated with the mature MS research community in Australia. This relationship has initiated a collaborative MS project between our hospital in Beijing and the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Melbourne.
The £4000 grant allowed Jennifer to travel from Auckland Hospital, New Zealand, where she was supervised by Dr. Ernest Willoughby to Cambridge University, UK where she spent two months in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences's Therapeutic Immunology Group, headed by Dr Alasdair Coles and Prof Alastair Compston. She was involved in both phase 2 and 3 trials of Campath-1H versus Rebif for the treatment of early relapsing remitting multiples sclerosis. She also investigated techniques to induce tolerance to therapeutic monocolonal antibodies (SM3 trial).
The two months I spent in Cambridge were a very valuable experience and will form part of the foundation for a planned career in clinical and academic neurology with a special interest in multiple sclerosis... The experience and skills I have learnt have been brought back to New Zealand and will be used in future MS research projects.
Ingrid used her £3000 grant to study gene-environment interactions in MS using three known risk factors of MS: smoking, Epstein-Barr virus antibody levels and the HLA-DR15 gene region. She travelled from the Menzies Research Institute in Australia where she was supervised by Prof Simon Foote to the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, USA where she worked with Prof Alberto Ascherio for 2 months.
Overall, it was a very enriching experience. The next stage for me is to contact a number of international groups and find out whether there are any other epidemiological studies in the set-up phase. We could then discuss how to increase the opportunities of pooling data in the future.
Using his £3600 grant, Janek, a postgraduate student in medicine at the Queen's Medical Centre, University of Nottingham in the UK, visited the Department of Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Medicine in the USA where he investigated the effects of IL-17 on human NT2 neurons under the supervision of Dr Dennis Kolson. He used cultures of human NT2 neurons to measure the effects on neuronal gene expression with real-time PCR. The genes studied included substance P (SP), its NK1 receptor (NK1R), platelet activating factor receptor (PAFR), as well as IL-17 receptor (IL-17R) and IL-17 itself. The project is still continuing and enabled the set-up of a collaboration between 3 laboratories.
The project will help to open up new potentials in the field of MS and hopefully applications for treatment. I would once again like to thank MSIF for this great opportunity.

Will 'Car of the Year' award power Tesla stock?
The Motor Trend honor doesn't always mean increased car sales.
Late Monday night, I received a phone call from a jubilant friend who was ecstatic over, of all things, an automotive magazine's recent announcement.
"Guess what?" he rhetorically shouted in my ear, "The car in my garage is now Motor Trend's Car of the Year!"
You see, my friend recently took delivery of a Tesla Motors (TSLA) Model S sedan, the all-electric luxury sports sedan that is the brainchild of the company's genius CEO, Elon Musk. My friend was quick to point out that my vehicle of choice -- the newly designed Porsche 911 -- failed to beat out the Model S for the prestigious designation by the leading automotive industry magazine.
He also pointed out that this was a true turning point for the auto industry, as it was the first time in the 63-year history of the award that a vehicle with a non-combustion engine has been given the prize.
The decision by a cadre of Motor Trend editors and auto industry veterans also was the first time in the magazine's history that the vote for the top honor was unanimous. That's pretty impressive to me, as a journalist, because when you get three journalists in a room, you usually have about a dozen different opinions.
However, the Motor Trend decision isn't just pure opinion.
After putting some 45 potential Car of the Year candidates to a 10-day stress test, the Model S came out on top for what the magazine described as the car's superb acceleration, handling, open cabin and 250-mile range.
Now, for those who are concerned with Tesla and the auto industry for more than just the thrill of driving, the Car of the Year award might be viewed as a potential boost for sales, and for the company's bottom line -- and by extension, for the price of TSLA shares.
Those shares have had a volatile year and have been the target of some very heavy short selling. Still, year-to-date, Tesla stock is up 13.5%.
But do Car of the Year honors mean a boost for that model, for the company and for its share price? Not always, if recent history is any guide.
For example, last year (the 2012 model year), Volkswagen's (VLKAY) Passat sedan captured the Motor Trend honor, and that helped the car experience a surge in sales in both the U.S. and China. Over the past year, shares of Europe's biggest automaker have accelerated by more than 14% despite a recession in its home region. Passat sales and sales of other popular models in the U.S. and China helped offset slowing sales in the eurozone of other models, so in this case, I suspect the Car of the Year honor did indeed provide a lift.
It was an entirely different story two years ago (the 2011 model year), as General Motors' (GM) Chevrolet Volt was awarded Car of the Year. That vehicle was very slow to catch on, and it still hasn't caught on very well when compared to other cars in its class, such as Toyota's (TM) Camry Hybrid. In recent months, the Volt has begun to pick up in terms of sales ... but when you factor in the cost of production, some industry analysts think the car is a big net money loser.
In 2009 (2010 model year), the Ford (F) Fusion midsize sedan took the top award, and since then the economical-but-fun-to-drive vehicle has been a big seller for Ford. Since November 2009, Ford shares are up a very robust 34%, as investors have largely embraced the one Detroit automaker that didn't require a taxpayer bailout.
So, again, will the Model S's new trophy result in a boom for Tesla shares?
Well, shares jumped off the starting line nearly 3% in Tuesday trade and finished up 1.75% -- a positive sign. And they are up slightly Wednesday, as well.
I have long been bullish on Tesla as both a company and a stock, as I believe the quality of production, design and care put into each vehicle will allow the brand to appeal to auto industry purists, high-end car buyers, and buyers of the latest high-tech lifestyle tools.
We'll have to wait until early next year to see if the Car of the Year honor is actually a boost to Tesla's bottom line, but if my suspicions are correct, then look for the Model S to see electrified sales between now and the end of the year -- and hence more upside for TSLA.
As of this writing, Jim Woods did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Colonel Martin Wiseman '79 in a yearbook photo his senior year and in a military photo for his retirement
When it comes to ice breaker games, Martin Wiseman '79 has always had an ace up his sleeve. Not many men, much less those with 33 years of experience in the military and military reserves, can say they graduated from a woman's college.
"They always ask you during training sessions to tell one thing about yourself that is unusual," said Wiseman, who retired in October as a colonel for the U.S. Air Force. "I tell them I graduated from Randolph-Macon Woman's College. That usually shocks people."
During the College's years as a single-sex institution, men were allowed to attend classes and even graduate. In total, seven men graduated from the College with undergraduate degrees. Most of them were sons of faculty members, but Wiseman was an exception—and the last male to graduate before the College went coed in 2007.
"I look back on my years at Randolph-Macon with a great deal of fondness," said Wiseman, who now lives in Richmond, California. "The education I received there taught me how to think. The liberal arts, especially at a school like Randolph-Macon, help you learn how to analyze problems and help you be really objective in evaluating issues. I've been able to use that my whole life."
Wiseman's road to R-MWC began during his years at Holy Cross Regional School in Lynchburg. While attending the private school, he learned about R-MWC. After high school, he attended Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina for a year before entering the Army. Once his tour was up, he returned to the United States. "Things turned around for me while I was in the Army, and I really wanted to go to a good school. I wanted to major in history."
While at home in Lynchburg, Wiseman went to R-MWC to use the school's undergraduate catalogs to see about applying to state schools. "While I was there, I started talking to a counselor about how I just wanted a good school to study history," he said. "It turned out Randolph-Macon was perfect for that."
A special admissions committee admitted Wiseman, and he was allowed to become a resident student. He lived in a house near the gymnasium with several other men who were attending R-MWC as exchange students. Not everyone welcomed the men on campus in those days. "There were people who were very resentful that I was there," he said. "But there were others who were wonderful to me and who became great friends."
Living on campus allowed Wiseman to hold several jobs and be involved in campus activities but created a few problems as well. Men were not allowed into the dorms at certain times, and he had to find "creative" solutions to attend study groups. "I had to sneak in sometimes because the study groups were always held in the dorms," he laughed.
Wiseman was a deejay for the campus radio station and even played on the College's golf team. "It was an interesting time," he said. On his graduation day from R-MWC, Wiseman's mother served as his squire. "I've always been proud to have a degree from R-MWC," he said.
After graduation, Wiseman needed a way to pay for his graduate degree. He was accepted into an Air Force officer training program that paid for his M.B.A. in organizational management from the University of Missouri. He graduated first in his class. "I didn't have a real desire to go into the military," he said. "It was a means to an end. My real love of the Air Force grew after I enlisted."
Wiseman's military and professional career took off once he finished his first five years on active duty with the Air Force. He entered the Air Force Reserves and went to work as a national bank examiner for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, a department of the U.S. Treasury. After being transferred to New York and then Washington, D.C., Wiseman was called up to active duty in 2003 and spent a year working at the Pentagon. In 2004, the U.S. Treasury Department asked Wiseman to go to Iraq for six months to help the Iraqi government establish an internationally compliant banking system. He returned to Iraq in 2006 for another year of service.
His experiences in Iraq were life changing. The conditions and the people he saw and met altered Wiseman's perspective on life. A mortar once hit 30 yards from his trailer, killing three people.
"Part of it was being in a combat area," he said. "We were mortared all the time. But the tough part also ended up being the hours and the pressure. We were going seven days a week, and most days we were there 16–18 hours a day."
Wiseman remembered also how his attitude changed after spending time in another culture. "I had the opportunity to travel and see the world and to do something that really mattered," he said. "The first time I went to Iraq, I naively thought we were going to save the day. Later, I found myself thinking about how the Iraqi people felt and what they really wanted."
In 2008, Wiseman received yet another challenge. He was asked to serve as deputy director for political military affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. Once again, he experienced the challenges associated with working in a combat zone. "My degree in history helped me understand serving for our country even if I didn't always agree with national policy," he said. "There is a sense of integrity, honesty, and the fact that you are really doing something for your country."
After a year in Afghanistan, Wiseman returned to the Pentagon. He officially retired in October.

Personalized TV: Targeting For Relevance
by Phil Leggiere on Nov 17, 12:30 PM
While the number of aggregated eyeballs glued to the TV set to watch any one show at a given time inexorably declines, the number of disaggregated eyeballs watching many different programs at many different times increases. Unfortunately television advertising has lagged far behind the actual behavior of consumers. But companies like Cambridge, MA-based personalization technology developer Choice Stream are helping major video content providers to connect the dots.

Targeting User-Generated Content: The Infrastructure Challenge

Consumer-oriented social networking sites like MySpace have quickly come to occupy center stage as the "next big thing" in online advertising. Yet, though they've succeeded in amassing tens of millions of eyeballs and incredible diversity of content, they've yet to establish tools for tracking, measuring and ultimately targeting their users by interest and activity. Randy Selman, CEO of rich media and digital asset management firm Onstream Media, discusses the infrastructure challenges facing user-generated content and video networks looking to target and monetize all their content.

While Nasim is working on another big article about DSLR autofocus systems (shhh, I didn't tell you that), I decided to write another quick post on a recent photo shoot. I had an opportunity to photograph this beautiful lady, Mari Carlin Dart and her skin care line, Suuthe recently. The session was supposed to last no more than 45 minutes and I only needed a couple of good images for an upcoming advertisement book called "CRAVE".
First of all, let me introduce Suuthe. It is an all organic skin repair cream company which started with Mari searching for ideas to cure her son's eczema problem. Without being able to find a solution from doctors for her son Peter's aching problem, she decided to look further and work on something natural and effective. That's how Suuthe came to live. As a mother of two children who suffered from eczema for a while, I wish I have met Mari earlier! If you know anyone like that, tell them to check out this wonderful product.
Here is how the photo session unfolded. All of the images were taken with the Nikon D700 body and a single Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G lens (my favorite as always).

By STEVE AISHMAN and JASON PARKER
For the AJC
This weekend marks another opportunity to witness the High Museum's extraordinary support for Southern culture with the opening of their latest "Picturing the South" photography series.
For over a decade, the High has commissioned the best photographers from around the world to provide a contemporary perspective on the South. Past participants in "Picturing the South" have included artists like Dawoud Bey who monumentalized Atlanta High School students, and Emmet Gowin, who took aerial photographs of Southern paper mills.
Next up: "Alec Soth: Black Line of Woods," opening Saturday. Minneapolis-based Soth is best known for his monograph "Sleeping by the Mississippi"; his images taken along America's "third coast" blended landscape and portrait photography to produce a poetic sense of the place and the people along the river.
For the High, Soth has produced twelve large images that explore the spiritual aspects of life in the rural South. Inspired by Georgia writer Flannery O'Connor, Soth spent the past year traveling through Southern backwoods to find structures and people on the outskirts of society. By showing images of treehouses, hermits, cabins, and everything else that sits on the edge of being in or out of society, Soth provides an insightful perspective on exactly what is considered part of Southern culture and the unique spirit that it encompasses.
A site covering Atlanta's visual arts, Art Relish, www.artrelish.com, will post live updates and video interviews from the event.
Steve Aishman teaches photography at SCAD-Atlanta. Jason Parker is SCAD's manager of social media.
"Alec Soth: Black Line of Woods." Aug. 8-Jan.3. High Museum of Art. 404-733-5000. http://www.high.org/

Predators GM Back To Work After Getting Hit By Puck
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Two weeks after getting hit by a hockey puck to his face, Nashville Predators General Manager David Poile went back to work.
Poile suffered pretty serious injuries when an errant puck during practice hit him in the face on February 6, breaking his nose in three places and cracking the bone around one of his eyes.
He was still unable to see out of his right eye Thursday. Doctors were unsure whether Poile's vision will return.
Poile had traveled with the team to Minnesota and was hit during a practice session there.
"I'm certainly going to get some glasses both for some power in my left eye and protection for my right eye. I don't think it's anything I can't handle. It's just one of those things. It's unfortunate, you could say unlucky… but it happened. Life moves on and I'm ready for the challenge."
Poile had surgery February 14 at Vanderbilt University Medical Center so doctors could evaluate the damage around his eye.
Poile's recovery forced him to miss a trip to the winter Olympics in Sochi. He had been selected as the general manager of the U.S. hockey team.
He said it felt good to get back to work.

Timberland Lake Campground
[ 1/10 ]
Rate is based on Passport America. This campground is rough and in bad shape. Restrooms were never cleaned the two days we were there. The roads were so bad going in and out that we had things falling everywhere. The site we were on was not level. I had three tires off the ground. Some of the staff was nice, others made us feel like we were a bother. They wanted to charge me extra for sewer hook up. I do not like to be negative, but we are in a lot of campgrounds across the country and couldn't wait to get out of this on. We will not go back even at half price.
St Peters, Pennsylvania
Warwick Woods Campground
[ 5/10 ]
This is the type of place that is true camping, there is not a spot open enough to use our dish, it was very difficult to drive my coach through the camp because of the trees, a lot of trees, and it only had 30 amp sites, nothing with 50 amp, there is no Wi-Fi, but they said they are looking to change that next year.Verizon does not work at the campground at all. The staff was very helpful, they went out of their way to make us comfortable. In the future, I will try to look into a place in which I can use my the dish, if need be.
Utica, Illinois
Hickory Hollow Campground
[ 8/10 ]
This is a nice campground. Staff was great, sites were level, good water pressure and power, very well kept. The pool was nice. This campground was also close to places for shopping and Walmart. The price reflects the Pass Port America rate. I will make it a point to stay here again when traveling through.
Huntington, West Virginia
Robert Newlon Airpark RV Park
[ 3/10 ]
We have stayed here before but looks like they have let the place go. No picnic tables or anything for the kids to do or play on. No one cleaned the showers or rest rooms all while we were there. They are listed in the Passport America book but did not honor their rate. Staff was not helpful and seamed to be a little out of touch. Ski divers were cool on the weekend. We will avoid staying here again.
Wellington, Ohio
Clare-Mar Lakes Campground
[ 2/10 ]
Campground appears to have a resort like feel but No Sewer on the sites. Could not find any site that was level and when I did find the sight we stayed the site was hard to level due to jacks sinking (took a lot of work to level). All of the lake front sites are taken by seasonals. Bath house was real old like outhouses that needed to be pumped out, they had no privacy. Electric was strapped to poles and trees. The lake looked dirty. We will avoid this place in the future.
Helena, Alabama
Cherokee Campground
[ 5/10 ]
The rate is based on the Passport America. Great place for the price. Management was great. They showed us several sights to choose from, lead us to our sight, and even helped us back into the sight. I am not sure what previous camper meant when they said "pretending to be good Christians". To the contrary, these folks were great! They are doing a good job and saw them working on sights while we were here. The lake was very nice. The rest rooms were OK and could use some updating. They are currently working on making sights better all the time. They could use a little leveling but were OK. I was able to park my coach and my van easily on the sight.
Lakeland, Tennessee
Memphis East Campground
[ 2/10 ]
This park is in very rough shape, very difficult to figure out the electric. The electric on our sight was not working at all so I had to cross my power cord over to another one. Most sights were only 30 amp. The place is real run down, bathrooms were very dirty no one around on the weekends the sites were not level at all, had to put the front end of my coach up high. We probably will do our best to find another place when in the area, not worth the 30 bucks.
Dillon, South Carolina
Bass Lake RV Campground
[ 4/10 ]
Rate reflects Passport America. OK for overnight place or fishing place because of the lake. We needed 50amp and they had them but the RV sites were very unorganized and it was difficult to pull into one. Very confusing, we only stayed overnight and happy to move on. If you are going to pull in later in the day or night 50amp would be difficult, best to call ahead of time. It is unlikely we will stay here again.
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Lakewood Camping Resort
[ 8/10 ]
This park is great; we loved it. Sites are a little tight, but still room. The ocean was very close, maybe 25-50 yards away. There are a lot of activities. Indoor pool for the rainy days, but the outside pool was closed. They even have a coffee shop and church services on Sunday, loved it. They say that there was not a charge for the bikes paddle boats or mini golf, but there was an additional 28.01 Resort Fee. It would be nice if the choice was left to us as to fees. We will look at other campgrounds in the area, but likely to return here again.
Croton on Hudson, New York
Croton Point Park
[ 9/10 ]
I like this place, well kept and clean. Easy access by train to New York City. Staff was great helpful and friendly, sometimes a little confused as to who is where and what spot to camp (someone else may be in the spot they tell you to go to) but will always work it out. We will definitely camp here again.
Thomaston, Connecticut
Branch Brook Campground
[ 3/10 ]
Keep the speed down!! These folks are right on it and rightfully so for safety. As far as everything else, I am amazed that people can get as much as they do for camping here. It wasn't that great. It says cable but were we were there was no cable, sites we not very level and roadways could have been better kept, the staff was helpful. we will check around before camping there again.
Jamestown, Pennsylvania
Meadow Lake Campground
[ 10/10 ]
This is one of the nicest campgrounds we have stayed at. There are a lot of seasonal campers but everything is so well kept. Everything was well groomed and clean, we loved walking the campground and seeing the landscaping of the seasonal sites. The staff was very helpful and kind. We will definitely stay here again.
Buford, Georgia
Shoal Creek Campground
[ 7/10 ]
Nice place, a little far to the picnic areas other then that it is Beautiful. Bathrooms were a little dirty when we were there, however that could have been a bad time. For the most part it was very nice, we would camp there again.
Ozark, Alabama
Ozark / Fort Rucker KOA
[ 8/10 ]
Great park, very well taken car of. Clean restrooms and very friendly staff. A lot of nice little things like leading you to your site, making sure you have all the hookups needed. The only thing negative is the sites were very close to each other. I look forward to the next time we go back and stay again.
