The Utah Jazz have become a team of streaks. With three consecutive wins heading into the All-Star break, the Jazz promptly lost three in a row to start the second half. Just as the waters started getting rough, Utah has scraped together two wins before a six-game Eastern Conference road swing that starts Friday.
"It was really big for us," Gordon Hayward said. "Going into this road trip with some momentum and with a winning attitude and hopefully we go out there and compete and get some wins out east."
On the trip Utah will look to keep building the momentum it gained by defeating Boston and Phoenix before hitting the road for eleven days. The trip presents an even split of teams, two that the Jazz have beaten this year, two that they haven't played and two that they've lost to. Let's take a look at the first-half of this roady.
When the Jazz hosted the Cleveland Cavaliers (23-36) it was right after the Cavs had made one of the biggest trades of the NBA season by snatching Luol Deng from the Bulls in exchange for a soon-to-be-cut Andrew Bynum.
Deng's play was marginal but Uncle Drew (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spDdO_ZB-lE) had a phenomenal outing against rookie point guard Trey Burke. Kyrie Irving was able to fill the stat sheet with a 4-by-5, which is to say he reached at least 5 in four categories: 25 points, six rebounds, eight assists and five steals.
Burke responded offensively shooting 7-15 from the field for 17 points. It wasn't enough and the Cavs pulled off a Western Conference road win 113-102. Since that time they've been streaky including a stretch in February when they won six straight. Four games out of a playoff berth, this will be a game the Cavs expect to win.
Utah will face at least a couple of playoff teams while out East so the team and Head Coach Tyrone Corbin expect to be able to learn a lot about themselves during the trip.
"We're 57 games into it. It's a long trip for us. We gotta make sure we understand each and every game, what it's going to take to play – Especially on the road," Corbin said. "We have to be ready every night (if) we're going to show some growth from earlier in the year."
Corbin went on to say he'd mostly be looking for consistent and good effort during all six games but the players are driven more by results than consistency. When asked what they expected out of the road trip the most common response was simple.
"Some wins, more than anything," Burke said. "We're growing as a team so that's always a plus. In practice we're playing really hard even at this point of the season. Making each other better. Just continued growth."
The second game on the road trip might be more of an opportunity for growth than for a win as the Jazz head to Indiana. The Pacers (44-13) are the NBA's top-dog sporting the league's best record, but also the best home-record at 28-3.
In a statement year the Pacers are looking to knock-off the defending champion Miami Heat but are still along ways from solidifying home court advantage should they meet in the playoffs. The Heat are just two games back of Indiana right now.
The Pacers present another opportunity for the Jazz to avenge a home loss. In the first meeting Favors put up a double-double with 22 points and 13 boards against a strong Indy front-court. The Pacers answered with a solid team effort, six players scored in double-digits but no one went over the 20 point mark.
The Pacers slowed the game down and their defense wore on the Jazz who shot just 41.3 percent from the field and an abysmal 18.8 percent from three. The Pacers got the win 95-86.
Gordon Hayward is one Jazz man who fan would love to see perform a little better this time around. It's a homecoming of sorts for Hayward and an opportunity for him to remind Jazz fans that picking him over the Pacers budding superstar Paul George wasn't the end of the world.
After rematches against Cleveland and Indiana the Jazz will jump in some unfamiliar water when they battle the Milwaukee Bucks. In contrast to Indiana, Milwaukee (11-46) sits dead-last in the East with eight fewer wins than the last place team in the West.
If fully staffed, the Jazz shouldn't have much of an issue taking care of the Bucks even though the game is at their place. Milwaukee has only one win against the Western Conference this season (for my own delight I'll mention that was over the Lakers). The Bucks did however play the Pacers to a four-point game in Indiana on Thursday so there's still room for Brandon Knight and company to come up with a little spark on any given night.
That's a decent look at what to expect in the next three-games. Check back here the middle of next week when we'll preview the second half of the road trip with the Jazz heading to D.C., New York and Philadelphia.

Hospitality Vision – Asia Pacific Performance Review
Great Expectations
The tigers of Asia Pacific are still roaring, attracting more visitors each year and developing their attractions to reach new target audiences. With predictions that international visitor arrivals to Asia Pacific will more than double by the end of 2010 to 500 million, this is clearly a region with great expectations.
Although parts of Asia Pacific are inevitably facing the general economic slow down that is damaging many markets, the outlook for most countries in the region is more positive than elsewhere in the world. The first half of 2008 has been a good one for ghostliest across Asia Pacific, with revPAR rising 13.6% to US$101 as a result of solid increases in average room rates. If the second half of 2008 mirrors the first, there will be plenty of reasons for hoteliers to be optimistic for the future.

Say hello to the dangerous boys your parents always warned you not to kiss...
5. Four (Divergent by Veronica Roth)
When Tris leaves everything she's ever known behind to forge a new life with Dauntless, the fearless faction who protect society from harm, she is harshly thrown into a world of violence and pain.
But although her tough and undeniably gorgeous instructor Four seems to pick on her, putting her through the most rigorous training yet, she discovers that behind that steely, blue-eyed exterior they share a lot more in common than she'd ever imagined.
Tough and antagonistic, it's not going to be an easy ride, but then again, it's hard to beat a person that never gives up.
4. Kaspar Varn (The Dark Heroine by Abigail Gibbs)
For Violet Lee, a chance encounter on a darkened street draws her into a world beyond her wildest imaginings. A timeless place of vast elegance and immeasurable wealth – of beautiful mansions and lavish parties – where a decadent group of friends live for pleasure alone. A place from which there is no escape, no matter how hard Violet tries.
Yet all the riches in the world can't mask the darkness that lies beneath the gilded surface, embodied in the charismatic but dangerous Kaspar Varn, a vampire prince with undeniable charm and a cut throat attitude
Violet and Kaspar surrender to a passion that transcends their separate worlds – but it's a passion that will surely come at a price.
3. Jacob Black (Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer)
Despite his happy ending, we always though Jake got a rather raw deal in the whole Bella and Edward fandango.
Not only does he stick by Bella when her vampire boyf buggers off, but he rides motorbikes, has massive muscles and bursts out of his clothes into wolf form whenever he fancies. If that doesn't scream ultimate boyfriend material we don't know what does, and frankly reckon Bella needs her head checked.
The image of Taylor Lautner strutting about looking angry and hard done by while also just happening to be topless in the rain does a lot to fuel this one too..
2. Mickey McKenzie (You Against Me by Jenny Downham)
Not all stories make it simple to choose between right and wrong, and when 18-year-old Mickey McKenzie's family is torn apart by his younger sister's claims that she has been raped, he naturally seeks revenge on the boy, Tom Parker.
But it's not as easy as he expected and after meeting Tom's sister Ellie, who is doing her best to keep her brother out of prison, their grief, hatred and battle to keep their warring families together unexpectedly pushes them closer together than either of them would ever have imagined.
Falling in love isn't an option. Not when there's revenge to be had, anyway.
1. Will Herondale (Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare)
Seventeen-year-old Will is the sort of young man nice Victorian girls are warned against. He drinks, gambles, and enjoys the company of ladies of questionable virtue - at least, as much as he enjoys anything. Will hates everyone and everything, with the possible exception of Jem, and even that is occasionally in doubt.
It might be the second Shadowhunter novel to make the list, but there is something about Will we cannot resist. It could be the fact that he's dark, sexy and ridiculously clever, but it also has a little to do with the fact that he's also been cursed so that anybody who falls in love with him is doomed to die.
When this causes his sister's death, Will vows to keep everyone at arms length - that is until Tessa takes a liking to him. Realising that he is falling for her as much as she is for him, he is thrown into a quandry - to make her hate him in order to save himself, or to face up to his demons and the possibility of losing her forever.
The blue eyed, dark lashed description doesn't do too badly to put him right up here either. PHWOARR.
So what do you think of our list? Have we missed any ovary dissolving bad boys? And will you be picking up any of these picks for a read?
Comments please!

Turkcell's chief of new technology, who played a key role in the launch of Turkcell's mobile wallet, has left the telco to join a venture capital firm.
Turkish mobile operator Turkcell has introduced the first mass-transit application for its Turkcell Wallet, enabling bus riders in the Southeastern Turkish city of Şanlıurfa to top up their transit accounts from the wallet and to tap to pay fares if they have NFC phones.
The 10-year anniversary of the official birth of NFC came and went quietly on Sept. 5, 2012.
Turkish mobile operator Turkcell, one of the first telcos to commercially launch NFC, is introducing a new mobile wallet that includes a PayPal-like service enabling consumers to pay for purchases by entering their phone numbers on point-of-sale terminals.
Turkey's largest operator, Turkcell, has introduced its third self-branded NFC phone, a model made by Chinese supplier ZTE, and for the first time is including its own NFC tag in the box.
China-based phone maker ZTE indicated it will be targeting Europe with its NFC phones, although it did not specify models or release dates.
Malaysian mobile operator Maxis plans to introduce the NFC-enabled iPhone attachment iCarte to offer contactless payment with the country's Touch 'n Go service.
Phone maker ZTE has announced it will introduce a high-end Android phone supporting NFC at next week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Turkey's largest operator, Turkcell, has introduced a second branded Android NFC phone model for its mobile wallet and has launched a new toll-collection application for the model.
Turkey's largest mobile operator, Turkcell, is targeting 2012 for a major expansion of its NFC rollout, as it seeks to establish itself as a top-tier telco globally promoting NFC technology.
Japan's rollout of phones and tablets supporting standard NFC technology has topped the 20 million mark, with Japan's three major mobile operators deploying the handsets with NFC chips along with domestic FeliCa technology. But Japanese consumers still have few places to use the hybrid devices.
Apple's new tablets, the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3, unveiled today, will support the Touch ID fingerprint sensor to enable users to make purchases in apps with Apple Pay, but not in stores with NFC.
NFC Times Exclusive: Several hotel chains are planning to start equipping certain properties with door locks supporting Bluetooth low energy by the early part of next year, or are seriously investigating the technology, which enables guests to enter their rooms with keys stored on their smartphones, Legic Identsystems, one of the technology vendors involved, told NFC Times.
Samsung Electronics reportedly says it has an agreement with payment network China UnionPay that would enable embedded chips in more than 3 million of its devices in China with China UnionPay's contactless-payments service, though no banks have yet been mentioned as issuers.
As the NFC Forum launches a new program to attract more application developers to the NFC ecosystem, the organization told NFC Times that it is encouraged by Apple's adoption but considers it likely that the NFC developer community will focus on Android for the near future.
TAIPEI, Taiwan – Taiwan's largest telco, Chunghwa Telecom, Wednesday announced the launch of its long-planned NFC commercial service, enabling MasterCard PayPass credit cards from four banks, along with one of the first mobile NFC services supporting a Mifare transit purse, EasyCard.
Taiwan's largest mobile operator, Chunghwa Telecom, will announce the small commercial launch of NFC service on Wednesday, with participation from MasterCard Worldwide, four major banks and the island nation's largest transit and retail e-purse, EasyCard, NFC Times has learned.
Apple has hired Visa Europe's director of mobile, Mary Carol Harris, as the tech giant gears up for its expected launch of Apple Pay in Europe later next year.
NFC Times Exclusive: Despite the announcement by Apple of its first NFC-enabled iPhone, released Friday, promoters of NFC-enabled attachments targeting the iPhone contend they will not lose business.
The NFC Forum has added the final major component to its device certification with the addition of analog testing, but the impact of the development on handset makers' willingness to submit their devices for certification remains to be seen.
Just when many industry observers were counting Softcard out in the wake of Apple's announcement of Apple Pay, the mobile carrier joint venture formerly known as Isis today announced a deal with its biggest merchant to date, the Subway sandwich fast-food chain.
Spanish bank Bankinter has launched its long-anticipated mobile-payments service based on host-card emulation, after being one of the first banks to propose an HCE-enabled service.

You Go To My Head
Posted by Sriya Karumanchi at Monday, October 27, 2014
Following an exchange of Tweets with Bumble and bumble. last week, we had an impromptu photo shoot with them at Bb. Salon Downtown, a sun-drenched space in the heart of Meatpacking. The idea behind the shoot was conceptualized by Allen Thomas Wood, one of Bumble's incredibly talented stylists whose work can be seen everywhere from Bobbi Brown campaigns to the pages of Vanity Fair.
Allen's vision consisted of romantic tousled waves and messily wound-up plaits dripping in tiny gold Catbird jewels. Obviously we had to find out what this looked like. Read on for a few of the looks that Allen whipped up in 30 minutes flat (seriously, he's a pro), along with some tips on how to recreate the look at home. Not guaranteeing that you'll be able to nail this in the same time frame, but how inspiring is it to see jewelry repurposed in such a refreshing way? After all, that's how the knuckle ring started. And it's where the fun is.

Hi Williamsburg kittens, you early girls of Catbird! In creating a special candle for our 10th year, you alone were our muse. In your busted tee and ballet flats, with your affinity for delicate jewels, the ones you prefer to buy yourself. The way you sneak cigarettes outside of your window and wear your mother's old trench coat.
And to everyone who has joined us since, Kitten is our thank you to you too. We hope you enjoy this bottled up piece of our favorite neighborhood. We can't wait to show you more of the special things we've made to celebrate this milestone and you. Our hope is that some pieces will surprise you and that a few you've been waiting for.
Coming this November.
Kitten Candle is a limited edition, available online and in store now. Notes of musk, amber, and hand-picked violets.
In the Studio with Butter
Posted by Sriya Karumanchi at Tuesday, October 21, 2014
There's something new at Catbird, a bottled liquid the color of golden straw. I was curious when I first spotted it on Leigh's desk, as I am with most things that land there. Here's what I learned.
Butter is the brainchild of Lorenza, Jared and Tony — three friends and devout yogis who set out to create something through a shared passion for holistic healing and modern design. They launched last spring with their first product, Butter Elixir. The idea behind the essential oil goes back to the trio's yogic philosophy. The application is meant to be a pure and simple ritual without distraction, keeping the focus on beauty and integrity. It's an idea I welcome given the endless balms, oils, moisturizers, and creams that make an overly complicated promise.
I spoke to Tony, who broke down the elixir's key blend of four oils for me.
We knew we wanted something with rose because rose has the highest vibration out of all the essential oils. It acts as an astringent, tightening and firming the skin, and has been used as an anti depressant for many years. We then added in rosehip oil for its vitamin A & C and argan oil because it's packed with vitamin E. Apricot kernel oil acts as a nice base because it's a dry oil that still retains moisture, making it ideal for the face.

The best way to apply Butter Elixir? Tony recommended I try six drops applied to a clean face. My skin instantly absorbed the oil and all of its vitamins, with only a sheer glow and the faintest scent of rose left on the surface. The elixir can also be used on hair and nails, or added to a warm bath for stress relief.
We're now carrying Butter Elixir in our shop and online. For more from Butter, check out their Tumblr.

In the Studio with Goest
Posted by Sriya Karumanchi at Thursday, October 02, 2014
If a picture is worth a thousand words, Jacqueline Steele's narrative scents are comparable to the most vivid vignettes. She is a purveyor of stories, moments in place and time that are preserved through her fragrance house, Goest. For instance, Dauphine is a scent inspired by Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette not in that it's reminiscent of the ill-fated queen herself but because of the layered notes that encapsulate a scene from Coppola's film: rose-water pastries with cream, powder and soap on skin, an abundance of fully bloomed roses.
Catbird caught up with Jacqueline recently to hear more on running a one-woman fragrance house, how she found her start, and the most memorable custom fragrance she's created.

We Have Arrived! (Our Annex, That Is)
Posted by Sriya Karumanchi at Monday, September 29, 2014
It's official, we've landed on Driggs! No no, it's not a move. Our little storefront remains happily ever after at 219 Bedford. But follow the scent of a burning Fig Leaf candle two blocks north, and you'll find yourself at 540 Driggs Avenue, home of Catbird Wedding Annex. It's an intimate place we created especially for seekers of shimmering stones and golden bands.
We designed the space as a room for three - you, your other half, and an expert Catbirdette. A crystal ship chandelier and a neon sign - Oh My Stars - dances light across worn wood floors. Smokey stones set in rose gold, roughly-hewn bands, and instant heirlooms line dove-grey cabinets with gilded knobs. A black and white of Jane and Serge hangs tacked to a corner wall.
Through the year, we'll also be unveiling exclusive designs from both our favorite jewelers and our own studio. We can't wait to show you new pieces here first. xo.
Catbird Wedding Annex is open Sat and Sun, 10 to 6 pm and Fridays by appointment.

Shopgirl: August Picks
Posted by Sriya Karumanchi at Tuesday, August 12, 2014
Here on Bedford Avenue, we intend to fully soak up the last few weeks of summer. Which means taking any and all opportunities to show off our favorite anklet, Wicked Game. We wear it over silk socks, dangled low with sandals, or just peeking out from under rolled up cigarette pants.
Chelsea's pick for August is the Wicked Game paired with her equally sparkly flats. We admire a girl who can save all bling for the very tip of her outfit!
Chelsea's also the first of us to try the latest addition to #catbirdbeauty. Belmacs Blitz gold leaf eyeshadow has just arrived in the shop! The secret to its shine is that the cream based shadow is enriched with precious metal leaf. Keeping the rest of her face bare, Chelsea layers up to her brow for max sparkle. Belmacs Blitz can also be combined with face cream as a highlighter or used to line the lids. I personally love dabbing on the inner corners of my eyes as an instant way to brighten and fake a few more hours of sleep.

A night at the circus.
Posted by Leigh at Friday, July 25, 2014
We're going to the circus! Cirque de Soleil, that is! What's more amazing than an evening in Brooklyn, seeing people perform seemingly miraculous feats, that they've actually worked so so so hard to achieve?! We're real big fans of working like the dickens to make the impossible possible. Thanks so much to our pals at Cirque de Soleil for giving us tickets to their magical Verekai show. You can get your own tickets for the Barclay's Center shows right here (Verekai will be at Barclay's from July 30- August 3, tickets start at $45) - see you under the Big Top!

I think a staycation is definitely in order because I'd very much like to light a Campfire candle and soak in this tub. With a whiskey.

The Miami Hurricanes and Notre Dame Fighting Irish haven't faced off in a regular-season game in 22 years, but on Saturday, they will rekindle a rivalry that irrevocably changed college football.
In the 1980s, the two were locked in college football's most important rivalry. Forget Florida versus Florida State. This was an epic annual showdown that helped raise the national profile of both programs, generating tremendous revenue and interest in the schools.

George Q. Daley, M.D., Ph.D., Samuel E. Lux IV Professor of Hematology/Oncology and Director of the Stem Cell Transplantation Program at Boston Children's Hospital
Dr. Daley seeks to translate insights in stem cell biology into improved therapies for genetic and malignant diseases. Important research contributions from his laboratory include the creation of customized stem cells to treat genetic immune deficiency in a mouse model (together with Rudolf Jaenisch), the differentiation of germ cells from embryonic stem cells (cited as a "Top Ten Breakthrough" by Science magazine in 2003), and the generation of disease-specific pluripotent stem cells by direct reprogramming of human fibroblasts (cited in the "Breakthrough of the Year" issue of Science magazine in 2008). As a graduate student working with Nobelist Dr. David Baltimore, Dr. Daley demonstrated that the BCR/ABL oncogene induces chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in a mouse model, which validated BCR/ABL as a target for drug blockade and encouraged the development of imatinib (GleevecTM; Novartis), a revolutionary magic-bullet chemotherapy that induces remissions in virtually every CML patient. Dr. Daley's recent studies have clarified mechanisms of Gleevec resistance and informed novel combination chemotherapeutic regimens.
Dr. Daley received his bachelor's degree magna cum laude from Harvard University (1982), a Ph.D. in biology from MIT (1989), and the M.D. from Harvard Medical School, where he was only the twelfth individual in the school's history to be awarded the degree summa cum laude (1991). He served as Chief Resident in Internal Medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital (94-95) and is currently a staff physician in Hematology/Oncology at the Children's Hospital and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, and a member of the Hematology Division of the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. He has been elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the American Association of Physicians, and the American Pediatric Societies, and is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Dr. Daley was an inaugural winner of the NIH Director's Pioneer Award for highly innovative research and has received the Judson Daland Prize from the American Philosophical Society for achievement in patient-oriented research, the E. Mead Johnson Award from the American Pediatric Society for contributions to stem cell research, and the E. Donnall Thomas Prize of the American Society for Hematology for advances in human induced pluripotent stem cells.
Dr. Daley is the Samuel E. Lux IV Professor of Hematology/Oncology and Director of the Stem Cell Transplantation Program at Boston Children's Hospital. He is also Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, Medicine, and Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, an investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Associate Director of Children's Stem Cell Program, founding member of the Executive Committee of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, and past-President of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (2007-2008).
Michael J. Zinner, M.D., FACS, Moseley Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School, the Surgeon-in-Chief at the Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) and the Clinical Director of the Dana Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center
Dr. Zinner is a member of the editorial boards of several surgical journals, including Annals of Surgery, Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery and the Journal of the American College of Surgeons. He is the past and current Editor for "Maingot's Abdominal Operations", a worldwide textbook and atlas of gastrointestinal surgery.
Dr. Zinner was past President of the Association for Academic Surgery, past President of the Society of the University Surgeons and past President of the Society of Surgical Chairman. He has previously served as a Director of the American Board of Surgery, a member of the Board of Directors of the Society of Surgery of the Alimentary Tract and a member of the Board of Directors of Collegium Internationale Chirurgiac Digestivae. In 2008, he received the National Award for the Advancement of Women in Surgery from the Association of Women Surgeons (AWS). He was the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) from 2008 to 2010 and is now a Regent of the College.
In 2004, he established the Center for Surgery and Public Health (CSPH), a collaboration between the Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health, focused on healthcare, quality, safety and effectiveness and global surgical care. The CSPH has mentored many national prominent surgeons into important positions all over the globe. His current interests include these areas and the national debate on health care reform. He is active in local, regional and national organizations on health care policies and is Vice Chairman of the American College of Surgeons Health Care Policy and Advocacy Committee - representing 75,000 Fellows of the ACS. For the past 4 years he has taught courses on health care at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University and was recently appointed Adjunct Professor there. He has been on the Boards of several hospitals and health care systems across the country and is a member of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation National Advisory Committee beginning 2013.
Dr. Zinner remains a busy clinician and his clinical focus centers on diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. He enjoys his practice and interactions with residents and students, and has received teaching awards for both.

Andrew Flagel, Ph.D., Senior Vice President for Students and Enrollment and Senior Lecturer at Brandeis University
Dr. Flagel's research and writing focuses on student success in college, admissions policies and practices, and organizational communication in higher education. His article, "Revisiting the High School Visit," was selected for the Journal of College Admission 75th Anniversary Edition. As Senior Vice President for Students and Enrollment, Dr. Flagel supervises the offices of admissions, community living (housing), athletics, financial aid, student accounts, the Hiatt Career Center, the Health Center, the Interfaith Chaplaincy, the Intercultural Center, and student activities.
Prior to joining Brandeis, Dr. Flagel was associate vice president for enrollment development and dean of admissions at George Mason University, where he also taught in the department of communication, was executive director for the Washington Journalism and Media Conference and the Washington Youth Summit on the Environment, and served as advisor to the university band and the Jewish Student Association. Before Mason, he was the director of admissions at the Flint campus of the University of Michigan. He also served as the director of enrollment management for the Congressional Youth Leadership Council, and as a regional director of admissions at George Washington University (GW).
Dr. Flagel holds a Ph.D. in education with a concentration in communication from the College of Education at Michigan State University, as well as a B.A. in psychology and philosophy and an M.A. in education and human development, each from GW.
Robert Sackstein, M.D., Ph.D., Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Professor, Co-Director of the Graduate Education in Medical Sciences (GEMS) Program, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Director of the Program of Excellence in Glycosciences, Harvard Medical School
Dr. Sackstein is a bone marrow transplant physician and basic scientist who performs glycoscience-based bench research inspired by medical necessity. He received his undergraduate degree from Harvard College, summa cum laude in Biology, and his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees in Immunology from Harvard Medical School, where he also received the James Tolbert Shipley Prize for outstanding research. He then completed internal medicine training and fellowships in immunology and hematology at the University of Miami, and received the Young Investigator Award for Excellence in the Field of Hematology from the International Society for Experimental Hematology.
Dr. Sackstein's efforts as a scientist and clinician are intimately intermeshed. He is an immunologist/cell biologist/biochemist with clinical expertise in internal medicine/hematology/immunology and, in particular, in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). His bench research efforts aim to elucidate biologic processes critical to improving outcomes for patients undergoing stem cell transplantation. In particular, Dr. Sackstein's research efforts have defined many of the molecular effectors of adult stem cell and leukocyte migration. He is widely recognized for developing a platform glycoengineering technology (known as "GPS") for programming cellular migration to sites of tissue injury.
Anne E. Becker, M.D., Ph.D., Maude and Lillian Presley Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine and Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School
Dr. Becker is the Maude and Lillian Presley Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine and Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

Bosnia Peace Operation:
Pace of Implementing Dayton Accelerated as International Involvement Increased

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO updated its review of the Bosnia peace operation, focusing on the progress made since mid-1997 in achieving the operation's objectives.
GAO noted that: (1) the actions taken by the international community starting in mid-1997 accelerated the pace of progress toward reaching the Dayton Agreement's objectives; (2) during this period, with the military situation remaining stable, some advancements were made in providing security for the people of Bosnia, creating a democratic environment, establishing multiethnic institutions at all levels of government, arresting those indicted for war crimes, returning people to their prewar homes across ethnic lines, and rebuilding the infrastructure and revitalizing the economy; (3) moreover, there has been a weakening of hard-line Bosnian Serb control over police and the media and the election of a new, moderate Prime Minister in Republika Srpska; (4) however, the goal of a self-sustaining peace process in Bosnia remains elusive, primarily due to the continued intransigence of Bosnia's political leaders; (5) almost all of the results were achieved only with intense international involvement and pressure, both political and military; (6) for example, the High Representative imposed numerous temporary solutions when Bosnia's political leaders could not reach agreement; (7) further, a substantial NATO-led force is still needed to provide security for the civil aspects of the operation; (8) conditions will have to improve significantly before international military forces could substantially draw down; even with the accelerated pace of implementing the agreement, it will likely be some time before these conditions are realized; and (9) Bosnia for all intents and purposes lacks functioning, multiethnic governments at all levels; the majority of those indicted for war crimes remain at large; about 1.4 million people have not yet been resettled as Bosnia's political leaders continue to prevent people from returning to their homes across ethnic lines; and few economic links have been reestablished among Bosnia's ethnic groups or between its two entities.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2014
Where did the Scottish McInnes family come from? What is the Scottish McInnes family crest and coat of arms? When did the McInnes family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the McInnes family history?In the mountains of Scotland's west coast and on the Hebrides islands, the ancestors of the McInnes family were born. Their name comes from the personal name Angus. The Gaelic form of the name, Mac Aonguis, translates as son of Angus. Angus refers to the Pictish King Onnust who died in the year 761. While there are no direct links with this King in the history of the Clan or surname, there is a conjectural line, which may be adopted. The lands descended into the Barony of Innes in the County of Elginshire. However, the son or sons of Angus, originally from the Kingdom of Dalriada, were one of the three kindred houses, of the kingdom, the other two houses being the Gabran (the largest) and Lornetach which provided fighting men for the defense of the Kingdom of early Scots. For every twenty homes owned, they were obliged to provide two galleys, and so Angus, having 430 houses, provided a fleet of approximately forty galleys for the defense of the waters of Dalriada, generally those estuaries around the mouth of the Clyde.
Spelling variations are a very common occurrence in records of early Scottish names. They result from the repeated and inaccurate translations that many names went through in the course of various English occupations of Scotland. McInnes has been spelled MacInnes, MacInnis, MacAngus and many more.
First found in Morven, their earliest known territory. In 1230, the Clan suffered from King Alexander II's campaign against Argyll. The Clan, however, retained their castle Kinlochaline, which stands upon strategic rock in Morvern. A massive castle by early standards, today it is in ruins.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our McInnes research. Another 290 words(21 lines of text) covering the year 1358 is included under the topic Early McInnes History in all our PDF Extended History products.
More information is included under the topic Early McInnes Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Some of the McInnes family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 169 words(12 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products.
Scottish settlers arrived in many of the communities that became the backbones of the United States and Canada. Many stayed, but some headed west for the endless open country of the prairies. In the American War of Independence, many Scots who remained loyal to England re-settled in Canada as United Empire Loyalists. Scots across North America were able to recover much of their lost heritage in the 20th century as Clan societies and highland games sprang up across North America. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first McInness to arrive on North American shores:
McInnes Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century
McInnes Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: MacAonghais a-rithist
Motto Translation: Again MacInnes
The McInnes Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The McInnes Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Hypertension/High Blood Pressure Health Center
Chiropractic Cuts Blood Pressure
Atlas Adjustment and Hypertension continued...
What does this have to do with high blood pressure pressure?
Bakris notes that some researchers have suggested that injury to the Atlas vertebra can affect blood flow in the arteries at the base of the skull. Dickholtz thinks the misaligned Atlas triggers release of signals that make the arteries contract. Whether the procedure actually fixes such injuries is unknown, Bakris says.
Bakris began the study after a fellow doctor told him that something strange was happening in his family practice. The doctor had been sending some of his patients to a chiropractor. Some of these patients had high blood pressure.
Yet after seeing the chiropractor, the patients' blood pressure had normalized -- and a few of them were able to stop taking their blood pressure medications.
So Bakris, then at Rush University, designed the pilot study with 50 patients. He's now organizing a much bigger clinical trial.
"Is it going to be for everybody with high blood pressure? No," Bakris says. "We clearly need to identify those who can benefit. It is pretty clear that some kind of head or neck trauma early in life is related to this. This is really a work in progress. It is certainly in the early stages of research."
Dickholtz has been teaching, practicing, and studying the NUCCA technique for 50 years. He says high blood pressure is far from the only thing an Atlas misalignment causes.
"On the other hand, if people have high blood pressure, there is a tremendous possibility they need an Atlas adjustment," he says.

for the short wavelength components of metal halide and fluorescent lighting. These concerns include photobiological effects and increased skyglow2 (IDA, 2010; Wright, 2011). These effects are most pronounced when lighting is energized all night long.
FINDING: LED white light products produce light in spectral regions that may create environmental and health concerns. These concerns should be recognized in the design and application of LED luminaires.
The long life promised by SSL luminaires has the potential to reduce maintenance, offering not only replacement savings, but also higher reliability. However, SSLs typically do not burn out, but only reduce their light output. So in some applications there may be a liability risk if the SSL is functioning but not producing the expected luminosity. Reduced light output occurred in the past with mercury vapor lighting.
Outdoor SSL luminaires may be dimmed if adaptive standards were to be applied. Adaptive standards are the practice of reducing lighting levels during periods of low activity, such as in the middle of the night when many establishments are closed. This practice is very popular in Europe and is now being introduced into North America through recommendations of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) (IES and IDA, 2011). Adoption of such practices would provide communities and property owners the flexibility to reduce lighting levels during periods of low activity, or during peak demand periods, thus saving energy.
Several cities, such as New York City, San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and others have performed extensive LED street lighting demonstration projects (DOE, 2012a) as part of the U.S. Department of Energy's GATEWAY demonstration program.3 In all of these projects, the predicted and measured energy use and maintenance are lower than for conventional lighting, but illuminance levels are also lower compared to existing HPS street lighting. Additional added benefits include reductions in sky glow and light spillage. Some cities, such as San Jose (Figure 5.1) and Anchorage, conducted controlled public surveys to obtain community feedback on the LED street lighting (Clanton and Associates and VTTI, 2009, 2010). The public preferred the warmer color temperature LED, even at lower lighting levels, compared to the existing higher wattage low pressure sodium (LPS) and HPS street lighting (Gibbons and Clanton, 2011).
FINDING: Exterior lighting is a prime candidate for early adoption of SSL because of the lower lighting levels required in such applications and the optical control, long life, and dimmability characteristics of SSL.
While some of the advantages of SSL are immediately obvious, others are still only possibilities. As new technologies and luminaires are developed, new applications will also emerge, leading to unexpected opportunities in lighting design. Current SSLs offer small size, ease of control, uni-directional light, cool beam, superior color, low energy use, and long life. OLEDs promise entirely new form factors, a prospect that opens up a whole new realm of possible applications. Also, because of control compatibility, SSL can further reduce energy through dimming strategies.
The compact size of the SSL modules offers opportunities to put lighting in areas that previously had restricted luminaire size. But the challenge of managing the heat generated by the LED has prevented a desired reduction in the size of the light source needed for high lumen output. As modules become more efficacious, the size can shrink even more. Shrinking size will allow more opportunities for replacement of additional types of lamps such as high-output MR-16 lamps (see Chapter 1). The MR-16 is an important lamp for retail, hospitality, and residential applications.
SSL products have instant on and off operation without the requirement for a warm-up time, an attribute that is in contrast to that of HID and CFLs. With a dimmable driver, SSL products can be dimmed over a wide range of luminous flux in a smooth manner. Dimming below 10 percent is only available with a select number of drivers but is desirable (see Chapter 4). Smooth dimming is also available with some SSL screw-in incandescent replacement lamps. The appropriate choice of dimmers and drivers for SSL will enable control compatibility, which is critical for intelligent energy control systems.
Some control systems can change the color of light by varying the intensity of different colored LEDs in a red, green, blue system (i.e., one which produces white light by combining red-, green-, and blue-component LEDs). These are currently used mainly in special effects lighting, but have the potential for applications in commercial and highend residential markets. For example, retail venues might wish to vary the color of light in a display to emphasize a product's features.
2Skyglow is the result of blue light being absorbed or scattered in the atmosphere resulting in a loss of visibility of the night sky, which is of special concern to the astronomy community.
3 DOE GATEWAY demonstrations have the objective to showcase LED products for general illumination. DOE publishes detailed reports and briefs on completed projects. The reports include analysis of data collected, projected energy savings, payback analysis, and user feedback. Adapted from http://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/ssl/gatewaydemos.html.

Early next year, Beijing diners and drinkers will be able to get even higher as Grill 79 and Atmosphere lounge and bar will open on the 79th and 80th floors of China World Summit Wing, the official name of the third phase of China World. The design behind the venues, as well as for a private dining area on the 81st floor, come from Adam Tihany, known especially for his work in New York on spots such as Jean-Georges, Daniel, and Le Cirque 2000. These will be the loftiest places to eat and drink the capital. Look for a substantial wine list – with as many as 1500 labels.
The hotel will have two ballrooms (one of which is capable of hosting banquets of up to 1500 people), a spacious lobby, a Japanese restaurant called Nadaman and an as yet-to-be-named Thai restaurant on the fourth to sixth floors, hotel rooms from the 64th to 77th floor, and a spa and club on the 78th floor.
China World Summit Wing will top out at 330 meters, making it the highest building in the city, and is slated to open in the first quarter of 2010.
I'll have more details on these venues, as well as a talk with Tihany, early next week.
