Alexander J. Swistel, M.D., a nationally-renowned breast surgeon, has pioneered many of the newest advances in minimally-invasive breast cancer treatment.
Dr. Swistel graduated from Harvard University and received his medical degree from Brown University School of Medicine in 1975. He completed his surgical residency at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center and a two-year surgical oncology fellowship at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. At the completion of his fellowship, Dr. Swistel returned to St. Luke's as an Attending Surgeon and subsequently became the Chief of Breast Surgery.
In 1996, he was recruited by New York-Presbyterian Hospital to strengthen the breast service and joined the attending staff in surgery. Dr. Swistel's visionary leadership was instrumental in developing and launching the Weill Cornell Breast Center and he became the Director of the Program and served for Chief of Breast Surgery for over 14 years. He is Associate Professor of Clinical Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College, Associate Attending at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital's Department of Surgery.
Dr. Swistel has pioneered many significant improvements in the delivery of breast cancer care that have greatly benefited patients and offered new, less invasive treatment options for women with breast cancer. He developed an early protocol using laser-guided destruction of small breast tumors as a way to minimize surgical treatment of breast cancers. He was the first surgeon in New York to perform a skin-sparing mastectomy in 1991. That technique revolutionized standard radical mastectomies. When combined with immediate reconstruction, it allowed for a significantly improved cosmetic outcome, with no decrease in survival. In fact, the quality of survival was enhanced.
He continues to pioneer techniques in surgery that provide effective removal of tumors with reconstructive techniques that leave the patients without visible scars and excellent tumor therapy. This vision has culminated in the establishment of a specialized center of oncoplastic surgery, where teams of surgeons combine the latest techniques for tumor removal along with reconstructive options. This leaves patients with no visible reminder of the breast cancer, better cosmetic results, and reduced risk. Many studies show a huge psychological benefit to woman who undergo oncoplasty.
In 1986, he established the first Comprehensive Breast Center in Manhattan at St. Luke's Hospital. That center served as a model for subsequent breast centers throughout the city. Recognizing that minority populations often have difficulty accessing good breast care he received a special grant from New York State to focus on screening of minority patients. This program was adopted by the New York State legislature and continues benefiting women today.
Dr. Swistel was one of the first physicians in New York to pioneer sentinel lymph node biopsy, a new technique for minimizing auxiliary surgery. He currently runs a high-risk surveillance program at the Weill Cornell Breast Center for patients who are at elevated risk for developing breast cancer.
Dr. Swistel is past President of the Metropolitan Breast Cancer Group, which is the oldest and largest regional group of breast cancer specialists in the nation. He is a fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine. Dr. Swistel is a member of many professional societies, including the American College of Surgeons, Brown Medical Alumni Association, New York County Medical Society, Association for Academic Surgery, Society of Head and Neck Surgeons, American Society of Clinical Oncology, New York Metropolitan Mammography Society, American Society of Breast Diseases and the American Society of Breast Surgeons.

It's time to get outside and have an adventure! In Utah, spring and ...Read More

A Day on the Town
Faces of Sandy
Sandy Heart of the Wasatch
Sandy Sites
Brady says having Sandy as the company headquarters is advantageous because the majority of the employees are centrally located. He also points out that one of the main screen printing companies Del Sol uses is in Salt Lake County, which makes the frequent trips there so much easier. Being closer to Salt Lake International Airport also factored in the move from Provo to Sandy.
Business clients, customers and other visitors to the city can also count on first-class accommodations and activities during their stay. Such favorable treatment is also a selling point for Del Sol to its clients that might be visiting from out of state.
"It's great access for visitors and locals," Brady says. "There are a lot of restaurants and retail. There are clean, safe and wonderful hotels. A lot of our clients find good accommodations and rest when they come into town."
Both Brady and Rindlisbacher note that Sandy is a popular choice for hotel reservations and restaurant and retail patronage for out-of-town skiers.
A Bright Future
Sandy's healthy business environment is one reason why sporting goods retailer Scheels selected the city for its newest location. "Scheels is thrilled to be coming to Utah, and this location in Sandy," says Steve D. Scheel, CEO. "We have been studying this market for more than 10 years and we love the overall demographics of the market combined with the opportunity in all aspects of our business." Scheduled to open in October 2012, the 220,000-square-foot Scheels development will showcase Utah's largest selection of sports, sportswear and footwear.
So what other exciting developments are on the horizon for Sandy? Envision Utah Director Alan Matheson has high hopes for continued growth and prosperity.
Echoing the sentiments of Sandy business leaders Rindlisbacher, Ipaktchian and Brady, Matheson believes the city's excellent location, the strong leadership of Mayor Tom Dolan and other city leaders, along with the appealing services throughout the city, will keep Sandy vibrant and flourishing for years to come.
"The [city] leadership recognizes that a strong business community is important for the community overall," Matheson says.
In addition to his role as director of Envision Utah, which brings together residents, elected officials and other interested parties to help make decisions about how Utah communities should grow, Matheson is a member of the Sandy Planning Commission. From this perspective, he says the Sandy business community is truly a community. He has witnessed cooperation among businesses and their leaders, and he has seen groups of people work together to make Sandy a great place to live, work and play.
"The business community has been supportive, invested time and shared ideas," he says. "To be successful, any city has to have that combination. The business community is a big asset; we want to build a community as a good place to live. We want a sense of common purpose. We sensed a lot of people recognize the need to provide a range of opportunity. Sandy has worked hard to provide that option."
Matheson also highlights the developments and additions of Rio Tinto Stadium—which has brought not only Real Salt Lake but football, rugby and high school state championship soccer—the South Towne Expo Center, South Towne Mall and Jordan Commons, which he says is one of the most visited theaters in the country. He's also excited for the prospects of the Sandy Civic Center.
"We see a tremendous potential for the Sandy Civic Center," he says. "There is a broad commitment to make the civic center a source of pride. It can be recognized not only in Utah but around the country."
And Matheson promises that other major projects to keep Sandy prosperous are on the way.
"There's a lot more to come," he says.

Need help with the name Shanelle
I asking my nameberry friends to help a sister helping a sister out.
My sister loves the name shannel for her upcoming daughter. She likes that it sounds similar to her own name Shannah. But she has been getting a lot of flack about it. She is wanting to incorporate the first 4 letter of her name =SHAN.
I saw another name that I kinda like today and the name is shanessa. Shannah (my sister) really does like Shanelle and the definition of Shanelle on nameberry is *designer name meets wal mart....*
Is their anyway to incorporate the names together? W/o going "white trash"?
She has a son named Daniel after her S.O.
So for their girl she is hoping for a similar feel
Names on the board
*Hannah (although we both think is way to close to Shannah)Married to the man of my dreams and trying for our first child

I think Shanelle does have that "white trash" feel about it, though I hate to use the term. However, if she loves it, her family and friends will quickly associate it with the baby and will lose all other associations with the name. Others she may like that don't have the negative vibes:
Brishan (technically a boy's name, but who in the world would know that)
Another suggestion is to give her baby the middle name Shan or Shannah. Good luck!

I kind of agree and I can see how she might be getting some flack.
Here are some SH names that do not mimic a luxury item - Chanel, the designer.
Shayna - means beautiful
Shaeleen - I knew an artist with this name and she mostly went by Shae, but she loved it.
Sheena - great song written about her!
Sharlene - ready for a comeback in my opinion.
Charlotte - similar sound.
Best of luck.

"Dennis, we're leaving."
"Alright," I replied to my dad as he and the rest of my family were going out. I had decided to stay at home because I had been too tired to join them. After they had left, I immediately went over to my fridge and grabbed some Coke, then I proceeded to my pantry to get some snacks. As I was about to head upstairs, I thought I should put the alarm on in case someone tries to break in, because that is how an eleven year-old boy thinks, always in the world of "what if…"
However, what if an incident actually happens. I had been on my way to my room upstairs when the alarm went off. Then I did what any sensible eleven year-old would do. I ran to the kitchen, grabbed the biggest knife I could find and a telephone and ran to hide in my closet. Then I called 911.
"Hello, this is the emergency response number. What is your situation?"
"I'm home alone and I think someone broke into my house."
"Ok, I am going to send police to your location, just stay on the phone with me, alright?
"Now I'm going to keep talking to you, you don't have to answer though if you think it is unsafe to do. Ok?"
"What's your name?"
"And where are you, Dennis?"
"In my house."
"Where in your house, Dennis?"
"In my closet."
At this point, I thought I heard footsteps around my house. A creak of the floorboards here and there, even thinking that the guy was right outside my bedroom door at one point.
"And how old are you, Dennis?"
"Are you alright? When you have the chance respond. If anything happens, hang up the phone so we know if you're in trouble.
"… I can hear footsteps."
"Ok, the police are almost at your house, just wait until we tell you what to do?"
I remember just sitting there and waiting for everything to be ok, and for the woman to tell me everything was ok. She continued to talk about mindless things, asking questions, but I was too terrified to answer any of them.
"Ok. Dennis, the police have walked around your house and don't see any sign of entry. Do you think you can go to the front door and let them in?"
That walk was the longest walk through my house I have ever done. I walked with the phone in one hand, and the knife in the other. Whenever I had to round a corner or move anywhere a door was, or anywhere I thought someone could attack me from, I moved extremely slow, pointing my knife in that direction in case someone attacked. I remember constantly checking my back to see if anybody was sneaking up behind me. It was terrible.
My nerves were constantly on edge. Any flicker of movement I thought I saw freaked me out and stopped me right in my tracks until I was sure there was no one there. Any sound forced me to jump completely off the ground and make the hair on the back of my neck rise up. Each second felt like a minute, and the door felt like it was a mile away.
When I finally managed to get to the door, I unlocked it and let two cops into my house. I remember how one of the cops laughed as he saw the knife I was holding up at him, not even bothering with it as he went through to search through my house for the intruder. The other cop checked to make sure I was all right before joining the other cop to do a thorough check of the house, but the second cop always made sure to stay where she could see me and make sure I was safe.
After the cops had checked the entire house and declared there was no intruder in the house, all three of us went to check the alarm system to see what had happened. When we got to the alarm, one of the cops read it and started laughing. I then read it and felt really stupid. I had set my alarm to "Away" instead of "Stay" and had tripped off my own alarm when I had been walking away from the kitchen with my snacks. The other cop didn't seem so happy though that he had been called out for no reason. I apologized a lot to the two cops after that for the inconvenience.
After I had learned what had happened, I called my parents and told them what happened. Of course, as soon as they heard they came rushing back, but there was still some time before they arrived. It was very awkward just standing with the cops, waiting for my parents to arrive. I felt extremely uncomfortable after what had just happened, and then I remembered what my mom told me to do whenever I have guests over. I turned to both of the cops, and kindly asked them, "Do you guys want something to drink?"

I can't take it. I really can't stand reading how so many of you take an article, believe it to be the TRUTH, and then start shaping reality (and common sense for that matter) to fit it.
When something doesn't fit, throw it out. The 4S will not be produced beyond 2013. You might be able to buy it in a mini mall in Wyoming until December, but that does not have any significance other than filling out inventory channels so that outlets don't dry up amidst the big change that's coming.
As for Apple stores and most carrier stores....you will not be able to purchase an iPhone other than 5S or 5C beyond the September 22nd launch date.

I'm so glad that so many MUA users love this bc I do too! It's the most perfect color to wear on a daily basis, in the tube it looks like a mauve-y color but when applied it's beautiful subtle rosy brown with more pink than brown (see my photo above). Definitely a MLBB for so many people out there bc it really has that kind of fleshy natural lip color to it (that sounds gross but no really, it's gorgeous!) Now despite the satin finish it has (making it seems creamy), you actually have to press it a teeny bit hard on your lips for the color to go on, but for the price, who's complaining!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Tan, Warm

Yes yes and MORE YES!!!!! This is the "nude" shade I have been looking for my whole life. It's actually really not nude at all, it's more of a my-lip-color-but-better shade! It's a pinky brown that is so flattering on my NC35 skin tone. The formula is incredible and lasts very long. My only complaint is that the lid constantly falls off into my bag and can get all over everything...but its so pretty that I can overlook that especially for the 1.99$ price tag!

i was scared looking at how brown it looks (im an olive skin, dark brown hair, dark brown eyes) but because of good review about it, i gave it a try. OMG i loooooove the color.
i hv dark pigmented lips, usually mauvey rosey color is my MLBB. this one is much better MLBB because of the brightening effects on my complexion instantly. definitely more pink than I thought it'd be but its a plus.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Very Oily, Olive, Warm
Hair: Brown, Curly, Medium
Eyes: Brown
In the tube this looked like it would be a super pretty fleshy toned, my lips but better color. I am tan with yellow undertones and this was a very bright color on me. It did not lean towards that pretty "matte dark but nude" color i was looking for. It's still a nice lipstick however. Maybe mixing it with another lipstick color will be better for me.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Curly, Medium

Favorite everyday lipstick. I wear this when I'm doing a bold smokey eye, or if I'm going for a natural look. Its very similar to my own lip shade, so it looks almost nude on me. You can't beat the price, I think they go for around $2. It does transfer when you eat, drink, kiss; so you will have to reapply. It can be a little drying, I find that I have to remove it midway through my work day and apply a fresh coat. I always prep my lips with lip balm prior to applying any Wet n' Wild matte lipstick. Other than that, no complaints.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure

I can't decide if I like this color or not, because it's almost identical to my own lip color...so I
guess what's the point. Right? I do, however, love Rose-Bud!!!!
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure

This is a good lip color. For me, it's a little darker than an MLBB shade. It's good if I am wearing a more low-key look, or a darker colored eye. Bare It All is my favorite MLBB shade, but this is a good one to mix it up.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Red, Relaxed, Coarse

I really love this lippie for occasions when I feel like wearing dark and bold eye looks. It is a very natural, neutral, brown toned antique pink colored lippie. I overdraw my lips with this lipstick using a lip brush first and then fill in the lines with it for full opacity. My only problem with it is that is not the completely matte lipstick I was hoping it would be. It has a creamy finish rather than a matte finish. I have to apply a little bit of Coty powder over my lips to achieve that completely matte look I want.
As for durability and formula, this lipstick is really great. I definitely recommend this if you're searching for a nude shade that won't wash out your complexion completely. I hope this review helps!

Excellent product, but I have ticked that I would not repurchase, because I live in Australia, and I'm tired of purchasing makeup online.
This is a warm toned, mlbb pink with a touch of brown. I have light olive skin and the touch of brown warms it up. It is fairly matte, it's decent quality, and even purchased online it's cheap. The only real downsides are the packaging (cap comes off easily) and the fact that like all longwearing lipsticks, it's a touch drying. Excellent product, and I would love to try more of the Wet n Wld Megalast colors, if they were available locally.

This is my absolutely HG MLBB lipstick! The first one I got two years ago lasted for 9 months, and now that this sort of color is on the rave, I'm more than happy that I already had found my "Kylie Jenner" shade!
I read some reviews talking about how they think this couldn't be a MLBB shade for anyone, but that's because they are too pale and cool toned. As a NC40 from Chile, with olive/yellow undertones I can tell that this is the perfect shade in my really pigmented lips.
The only con, it's the quality of the packaging, actually mine is broken. But the quality of the bar is so flawless, and so damn cheap, that I have nothing to claim about.
Also it can be a little bit drying, but nothing some olive oil and Hurraw's can't repair!
Hope my review had been helpful!

Study: few smartphone owners loyal, iPhone the exception
updated 02:10 pm EST, Mon November 29, 2010
GfK says smartphone loyalty only at 25 percent
Only a quarter of smartphone owners plan to stick to their existing choice of OS for their next models with only Apple showing significant loyalty, GfK found in a new study. About 25 percent planned to stay, but only the iPhone had more than half of its owners willing to stay on for the next revision at 59 percent. BlackBerry owners were next closest, but only 35 percent were likely to keep using one of RIM's phones.
Android as a collective platform had just 28 percent loyalty despite the plurality of manufacturers, and the most aged platforms, Symbian and Windows Mobile, were at the back with 24 and 21 percent. The Germany-based research group didn't mention webOS or Windows Phone 7, though their user bases are small and may not have appeared in the study.
Lead analyst Ryan Garner explained the fragility of the market as customers were now putting more emphasis on "high-end level" experiences rather than basic features such as calling. Apps often mattered as part of the experience and thus played into the hands of Apple, whose 300,000 apps made it more likely to fit someone's needs than the 100,000 of Android or 10,000 for the BlackBerry.
About 37 percent of those in the worldwide study with basic phones, excepting China, planned to buy a smartphone as their next replacement, hinting that there was still significant room for growth in smartphone sales in the near term.
The results hinted at a potential Android backlash as those with a more frustrating experience using Google's OS were more likely to use an alternative. Apple might also benefit with a more stable group.

School starts on Monday and for some students at Mesa State College the year will start off in a hotel.
Mesa State College has 1,181 beds in their residents halls and campus apartments, but all of them are full. The school started a waiting list last month and there are about 44 students who will have to live in a hotel or nearby apartment. Their stay may last anywhere from a month to an entire semester.
Dana Nunn, Mesa State College spokesperson says, "Typically as school starts you have students that end up not coming or they change their minds. Then we have openings to move in other students."
These housing arrangements won't cost students any additional money.

Back pain, a significant source of morbidity in our society, is related to the degenerative changes of the intervertebral disc. At present, the treatment of disc disease consists of therapies that are aimed at symptomatic relief. This shortcoming stems in large part from our lack of understanding of the biochemical and molecular events that drive the disease process. The goal of this study is to develop a model of early disc degeneration using an organ culture. This approach is based on our previous studies that indicate that organ culture closely models molecular events that occur in vivo in an ex vivo setting.
To mimic a degenerative insult, discs were cultured under low oxygen tension in the presence of TNF-α, IL-1β and serum limiting conditions.
Treatment resulted in compromised cell survival and changes in cellular morphology reminiscent of degeneration. There was strong suppression in the expression of matrix proteins including collagen types 1, 2, 6 and 9, proteoglycans, aggrecan and fibromodulin. Moreover, a strong induction in expression of catabolic matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) 3, 9 and 13 with a concomitant increase in aggrecan degradation was seen. An inductive effect on NGF expression was also noticed. Although similar, nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus tissues showed some differences in their response to the treatment.
Results of this study show that perturbations in microenvironmental factors result in anatomical and gene expression change within the intervertebral disc that may ultimately compromise cell function and induce pathological deficits. This system would be a valuable screening tool to investigate interventional strategies aimed at restoring disc cell function.

SME is unleashing its breadth and depth of manufacturing content into a powerful, user-friendly, 24-7 online resource. Everything you want to know about manufacturing is available when you want it, where you want it.
NOW AVAILABLE! The former Tool & Manufacturing Engineer's Handbook (TMEH) has been digitized and is now available in a new peer-reviewed and validated WIKI environment.
SME's NanoManufacturing Conference and Exhibits, March 27-28, Boston, will highlight the current and near-term applications of nanotechnology and how they are transforming manufacturing. DEARBORN, Mich., January 17, 2012 —Nanomanufacturing is no longer the next frontier. It's in action today, and it is improving products and processes and saving manufacturers money along the way.This March, nanomanufacturing experts will be gathering in Boston to share their knowledge with other manufacturing professionals at the NanoManufacturing Conference and Exhibits organized by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers. In addition to discussions on mid- to long-term applications of this smallest of technologies, there will be information on how it is already impacting the industry as evidenced in these five ways.
"More than 1,300 products have already made it to market using nanotechnology, with many more in the pipeline," said Lauralyn McDaniel, the conference manager. "This conference provides an opportunity for manufacturers from almost any industry to either be introduced to nanomanufacturing or discover the latest advances in the technology."The NanoManufacturing conference is co-located with the MicroManufacturing Conference and Exhibits. Both events have been designed based on feedback attendees have given that the most valuable part of attending an SME conference is the people they meet and the resources they gain. To encourage the synchronistic collaboration, the sessions are shorter and breaks are longer, the exhibits have been arranged "in the round" to promote discussion, and the Conversation Connection areas are ideal for having in-depth conversations with colleagues. Attendees of either conference can go back and forth between the two and tailor this event to their own interests and needs.The NanoManufacturing Conference sessions cover a broad range of topics including, metrology because "if you can't measure it, you can't make it," nanostructure manufacturing techniques, the future applications of graphene in every day products, occupational and environmental health and safety concerns and antimicrobial technologies for medical devices.Additionally, a panel of nanomanufacturing leaders will address moving from the research and development phase and prototyping to the commercialization phase and volume production. The event concludes with the annual peek into the nanocrystal ball in an attempt to predict what the next five years will bring to nanotechnology.For those who are new to the technology, need a refresher or just want to explore the topic in more depth, pre-conference workshops and tours to iRobot® and the Center for High-rate Nanomanusturing/Kostas Nanomanufacturing Research Center are also available.For more information, visit www.sme.org/nanomanufacturing or for the MicroManufacturing Conference and Exihibition, visit www.sme.org/micro.About SME:The Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) is the premier source for manufacturing knowledge, education and networking.

Pfizer May Get Generic Lipitor Delay Amid Ranbaxy FDA Troubles
Pfizer Inc. may get a reprieve from generic competition to its $11 billion Lipitor cholesterol pill as Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. fights regulatory breaches that threaten to derail its push to produce the first U.S. copies.
Ranbaxy, India's third-largest drugmaker by revenue, plans to introduce its copy of Lipitor, the world's best-selling medicine, on Nov. 30. It must first persuade the Food and Drug Administration that its copy is equivalent to the original and that approval shouldn't be thwarted by violations cited in 2009 at a plant identified in Ranbaxy's drug application.
Failure to resolve the issue could prevent the FDA from clearing Ranbaxy's Lipitor version by that date, said Ira Loss, an analyst with Washington Analysis. A delay also may stall plans by other generic-drug companies to introduce their versions of the $11 billion-a-year medicine, he said.
"I don't remember another case where timely approval of the first generic on a big drug appears dependent upon cleaning up a mess in their manufacturing situation," said Loss, who has followed the FDA for more than three decades. "Ranbaxy has repeatedly expressed confidence that this will all get resolved in time, but I'm not sure I believe them."
Ranbaxy's woes could also delay savings for the 3.5 million Americans who take Lipitor. A new generic medicine sometimes costs less than half the price of the original.
Americans spend $7 billion a year on Lipitor, according to Michael Kleinrock, director of research development at the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics in Parsippany, New Jersey. Generic-drug competition could cut that spending by $6 billion through 2015, he said.
Six Months Exclusivity
Ranbaxy says it plans to sell generic Lipitor with six months marketing exclusivity starting the last day of November. While a 1984 law grants that right to companies that are the first to challenge a drug's patent, as Ranbaxy says it was with Lipitor, the pending FDA enforcement action may disrupt plans.
At least nine companies have sought FDA approval to sell Lipitor copies, according to U.S. court filings. Mylan Inc., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd., have settled Lipitor patent disputes with Pfizer and may start selling copies after Ranbaxy's 180-day exclusivity expires. Dr. Reddy's, India's second biggest drugmaker, announced its settlement yesterday without disclosing details.
Those rivals may see their versions of generic Lipitor delayed if Ranbaxy fails to win clearance of its drug by Nov. 30, yet retains its six-month exclusivity, said Loss. The resulting lack of competition for Lipitor sales would give Pfizer a "de facto patent extension," Loss said.
Watson Gain
Without a Ranbaxy approval, the only generic Lipitor to reach the market Nov. 30 would be an authorized version sold by Watson Pharmaceuticals Inc. under an agreement with Pfizer. That pill doesn't require FDA clearance because Pfizer will provide Lipitor to Watson to sell without the brand label in return for a share of the sales.
"Since Pfizer controls the supply of the authorized generic, it would be a bonanza for Pfizer, and maybe even for Watson, if there's no other generic product out there," Loss said. Pfizer reported $10.7 billion in worldwide Lipitor sales last year.
Watson may price generic Lipitor at only 5 percent less than Pfizer's branded version if it doesn't face immediate competition from Ranbaxy's copy, said Ronny Gal, an analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. in New York.
Watson hasn't disclosed its plans, said Patty Eisenhaur, a company spokeswoman, in an e-mail. "Should Ranbaxy be delayed on Nov. 30, we are prepared to supply the entire generic market with product," she said.
Divvying Market Share
Ranbaxy may gain a 20 percent market share if its copy wins approval, Gal said. Teva and Mylan each may gain 15 to 20 percent of the market if their generic versions are approved, while Pfizer would have 30 percent of the market after three years, Gal said.
"I'm holding my breath until the FDA acts on Ranbaxy's application," possibly within a month, said Kleinrock. "It's unprecedented to have a large manufacturer in such limbo so close to when it's scheduled to start marketing a drug.'
Ranbaxy, 64 percent owned by Tokyo-based Daiichi Sankyo Co., could gain $400 million to $500 million in revenue from its generic version in the six months of exclusive sales, Deepak Malik and Ashish Thavkar of Emkay Global Financial Services Ltd. in Mumbai wrote in an Aug. 6 report.
The U.S. enforcement actions against Ranbaxy began in 2008 when the FDA cited manufacturing defects at two of the company's India plants and subsequently barred it from importing 31 different drugs. The ban is still in effect. The following year, the agency said one of those plants in Paonta Sahib, India, falsified data used in drug applications.
Questions of Data Reliability
In a February 2009 letter to the company, the FDA said the findings "indicate a pattern and practice of submitting untrue statements of material fact and other wrongful conduct, which raise significant questions regarding the reliability of the data" in Ranbaxy's drug submissions.
"Ranbaxy continues to work together with USA regulators for a confidential resolution" to the violations cited by FDA, Managing Director Arun Sawhney said Aug. 5 on a company earnings call. "The negotiations are progressing well so far."
Ranbaxy spokesmen Krishnan Ramalingam and Raghu Kochar didn't respond to e-mails seeking comment on the settlement negotiations or the FDA's review of its Lipitor copy.
Shelly Burgess, an FDA spokeswoman, declined to comment on the agency's pending review of Ranbaxy's application, or on the company's negotiations with the FDA and Justice Department regarding the plant violations.
Court Filings
A refusal to approve the drug "would not necessarily extinguish the possibility of exclusivity until Ranbaxy had exhausted all of its available appeals," the FDA said in an April 4 court filing, responding to a lawsuit by Mylan.
Mylan's lawsuit, dismissed May 3 by a federal judge, had sought to force the FDA to act on Ranbaxy's application.
If Ranbaxy anticipates a lengthy approval delay, it could waive its 180-day exclusivity in exchange for a payment from a rival generic drugmaker, Credit Suisse equity analysts Edward J. Kelly and Rajat Suri said Aug. 17 in a note to investors. It also could partner with another drugmaker to make generic Lipitor and split the sales, Gal said.
"Either they do it alone, or they do it with someone else" to gain timely FDA approval, Gal said. "That is the most likely outcome."
Pfizer has been preparing for the effects of generic competition to Lipitor and 18 other drugs from 2010 through 2015 by selling business units and buying back shares.
Pharmacy-Benefits Managers
Express Scripts, Medco Health Solutions Inc. and CVS Caremark Corp. are among pharmacy-benefits managers that will benefit as blockbuster medicines go generic, said Helene Wolk, a Bernstein analyst in New York. The companies act as middlemen among drugmakers, pharmacies and health-plan sponsors to negotiate prices and manage patients' use of drugs. Profits are tied to cutting patient drug costs.
"Generics are the key growth driver across the PBM universe," Wolk said in an interview. If Lipitor copies stall, "at least 25 percent of the earnings growth" from that generic in 2012 will disappear, she said.
An FDA rejection of Ranbaxy's product may delay the rollout of generic Lipitor by as long as a year, Steve Scala, an analyst at Cowen & Co. in Boston, said May 3 in a note to clients.
"Such a delay would draw enormous pressure from various constituents, including Congress and other public interest groups," Scala said. "In order to avoid this pressure, the FDA will find it expedient to approve" Ranbaxy's application, he said.

Direct Employment of Skilled Labour by Foreign Owned Subsidiaries and the Development of Autonomy and Intra and Inter Organizational RelationshipsGammelgaard, Jens; McDonald, Frank; Tüselmann, Heinz-Josef; Dörrenbächer, Christoph; Stephan, Andreas (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper develops a conceptual framework on the strategic development of subsidiaries and the direct employment of skilled labour. The framework is based on autonomy, and intra and inters organizational relationships. The conceptual model outlines the conditions that are likely to lead to too much, or too little, autonomy and intra and inter organizational relationships. This model is then used to develop propositions on the links between autonomy and intra and inter organizational relationships and direct employment of skilled labour.

Global Competition, Collective Efficiency, and Local DevelopmentLorentzen, Jochen; Robbins, Glen; Barnes, Justin (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper describes the formation of the Durban Auto Cluster in the context of trade liberalization. It argues that the improvement of operational competitiveness of firms in the cluster is prominently due to joint action. It tests this proposition by comparing the gains from cluster activities in the areas of supplier development, human resource development, logistics, and benchmarking, and by contrasting the impact of joint action against a host of other variables, notably international competition and technical assistance by foreign partners.

Juul Andersen, Torben (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Organizational studies should address contemporary challenges of dealing effectively with the increasingly complex and dynamic business conditions. In this context we argue that structural features are linked to the corporate strategy process and affect the organization's ability to respond to ongoing environmental changes. Sustainable performance arguably derives from integrative strategy-making where business opportunities are pursued as they emerge while being directed and coordinated through forward-looking analytics. This combination of decentralized responsiveness and central reasoning identifies a dynamic system of interacting fast and slow processes. The fast system observes and reacts to environmental stimuli and the slow system interprets events and reasons about future actions. When the fast and slow processes interact they form a dynamic adaptive system that allows the organization to respond to uncertain and changing conditions. We apply this model to interactions among individuals in organizations where ongoing experiential insights among dispersed operating managers interact with the forward-looking planning considerations around top-management. This identifies an organization that is able to react to frequent and often unpredictable changes and adapt. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9008

Kokko, Ari; Ljungwall, Christer; Tingvall, Patrik Gustavsson (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper investigates to what extent income growth in the Chinese provinces is linked to growth and income levels in neighboring provinces. We find that the rate of income growth in a province is positively related to income and growth in neighboring provinces. However, we find no evidence of such positive interdependence between growth in rich coastal provinces and their immediate inland neighbors. This suggests that there has been little synchronization in economic growth rates between these regions, and/or that the immediate hinterland of the coastal growth centers might have been bypassed as China's manufacturing sector has migrated westward.

Abstract: We outline commonalities between studies of subsidiary decentralization and autonomous strategy-making in the international business and strategic management fields. This suggests that corporate headquarters should engage in strategy-making processes that provide a combination of formal direction for global efficiencies and autonomy for effective local responses. Strategic guidance from headquarters frames subsidiary decisions in line with corporate priorities and distributed decision power coupled with informal exchange of information facilitates strategic responses in tune with local market requirements. We identify some important nuances in the integration-responsiveness conundrum supported by an empirical study of 351 multinational subsidiaries. We discuss the implications for multinational strategy practice and suggest future research venues to investigate strategy-making in multinational firms. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9202

Outward FDI from the BRICS countriesGammeltoft, Peter (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: South Korean and Taiwanese brands have long been household names. Today, however, the names of transnational companies (TNCs) from an increasingly diverse set of emerging and developing economies are regularly making if not the dinner table conversation then at least the headlines of the international business press. This reflects that companies such as Mittal and Tata (India), China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), Haier and Lenovo (PRC), Embraer (Brazil), SAPMiller (South Africa), and Cemex (Mexico) are foraying ever deeper into the international economy and increasingly investing abroad. Even though FDI usually constitutes only a minor part of countries' total capital formation, the relationships between FDI and economic growth, welfare, and industrial upgrading in developing countries have been the object of long and extensive treatment in the literature. However, the literature has overwhelmingly focused on the impact of outward FDI from developed countries into recipient developing countries. Much less analyzed has been the increasingly important phenomenon of outward FDI (OFDI) from the developing countries themselves, be it into developed or into other developing countries. Apart from a few early pioneering studies (Lecraw 1977; Lall 1983; Wells 1983; Agarwal 1985) only few studies have been made so far of outward investment from emerging and developing economies. This is in spite of the fact that the value of outward FDI stock from developing countries reached USD859 billion in 2003, up from USD129 billion in 1990, and has increased 11 times since 1985. A limited number of recent studies do exist, though (e.g. Cai 1999; Lecraw 1993; van Hoesel 1999; Tolentino 1993; Andreff 2003; Chudnovsky and López 2000; Bulatov 1998, Yeung 2000). Furthermore, academic interest in the subject picked up considerably with the publication of UNCTAD's 2006 World Investment Report, which was dedicated to the subject of FDI from developing and transition economies. The report was succeeded by a number of journal special issues (e.g. JIBS 2007, JIM forthcoming, TC forthcoming) and books (e.g. Goldstein 2007; Benito and Narula 2007). This paper takes stock of the mounting trend of outward FDI from emerging economies, with special focus on a group of five countries, which are becoming increasingly economically and politically influential, viz. the 'BRICS' countries. An 'S' is appended here to the conventional acronym of 'BRIC' (Brazil, Russia, India, China) to include the largest economy on the African continent, South Africa. The five BRICS countries produced some USD25 billion of outward FDI flows in 2004, corresponding to some 3 percent of world FDI flows and well over half (61 percent) of total developing country outflows. OFDI from the BRICS countries has grown rapidly over the last few years, while still remaining modest compared to many developed countries. Following a brief discussion of FDI and emerging economies in general the article proceeds to hypothesise that the increase we currently observe in outward investment from emerging and developing economies may constitute a third 'wave' of OFDI, distinct from the two previous waves depicted in the literature, and outlines the contours of such a wave. An empirical analysis OFDI from the BRICS countries follows, conducted at three levels: global (what is the extent, directions, etc. of outward FDI); sectoral (in which sectors is outward FDI significant); and firm level, identifying a small number of particularly interesting TNCs from emerging and developing economies URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6567

From Czechoslovakia To The Czech Republic and SlovakiaOoi, Can-Seng; Peji´c Kristensen, Tatjana; Lomanová Pedersen, Zdenka (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Tourism offers an arena through which a place identity is imagined, negotiated and contained. This paper compares the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and show how these countries construct and assert their identities through tourism. They both share a common history as Czechoslovakia, however, they are perceived differently by the outside world. These former Eastern Bloc countries are promoting themselves in several ways and they are also marginalising their socialist past and invoking their Central European identity. The Czech and Slovak search for destination identity takes into account tourists' demands and perceptions. This paper introduces the concept of the orientalist tourist gaze, and demonstrates how orientalism may manifest in tourism. Data on how these two countries are imagined were collected in Denmark.

A New Approach to Strategic ControlHallin, Carina Antonia; Andersen, Torben J.; Foss, Nicolai J.; Tveterås, Sigbjørn (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Recent advances within the dynamic capabilities view emphasize the "sensing" of employees as an important part of the micro-foundations of dynamic capabilities: By putting in place organizational processes that mobilize and exploit information gathered by individual employees from their operating environment, firms can update insights about performance outcomes and improve strategic decision-making. We test empirically the extent to which firms can ascertain performance outcomes by drawing on employee knowledge. Our empirical setting is the Scandinavian hospitality sector with respondents among frontline service employees. Using a time series approach, we show that employee respondents (collectively) assess medium-term organizational performance better than management and the financial models available to them.

On the role of knowledge in industrial districtsHåkanson, Lars (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper questions the prevailing notions that firms within industrial clusters have privi-leged access to 'tacit knowledge' that is unavailable – or available only at high cost – to firms located elsewhere, and that such access provides competitive advantages that help to explain the growth and development of both firms and regions. It outlines a model of cluster dynam-ics emphasizing two mutually interdependent processes: the concentration of specialized and complementary epistemic communities, on the one hand, and entrepreneurship and a high rate of new firm formation on the other.

From A Parental to A Competitive Relationship?Kokko, Ari (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper discusses the changing relationship between the EU and Vietnam, and asks whether there is a shift from a "parental" to a "competitive" relationship. The focus of the paper is on the shift from aid to trade as the main interface between the EU and Vietnam. Aid relationships are often understood as hierarchical, linking a benevolent donor to a needy recipient, whereas commercial relationships are typically expected to involve a more competitive relationship. However, we argue that the bilateral relationship was never a "parental" one, even at the time when Vietnam's relation to the EU was limited to aid. The reason is largely Vietnam's historical experiences from the aid relationship with the Soviet Union, which created dependence and eventually an economic crisis when aid flows dried up in the late 1980s. Instead, there has been substantial tension between the donor community and Vietnam during most of the period since the early 1990s, when aid flows from the EU started growing. Regarding trade relations, we note that the EU's increasing use of antidumping tariffs against Vietnamese exporters during the past years could be an indication of a less friendly and more competitive attitude towards Vietnam. However, it is likely that the antidumping measures used by the EU are not primarily directed at Vietnam, but rather at China. This means that Vietnam is affected by the re-polarization of the world economy through its proximity to and links with China, but that the relation is perhaps not as bad as the increasingly frequent trade conflicts may suggest.

A Corporate Governance ApproachKnudsen, Jette Steen (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This article examines why Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) in 2001 turned down a proposal for an EU take-over directive? The first explanation focuses on party ideology. However, MEPs overwhelmingly voted according to national rather than party lines. Two additional explanations emphasise national characteristics: labour market legislation (national schemes to protect employees against dismissals) and corporate governance issues. Labour market legislation can explain the UK and German MEP votes but not the Swedish and French MEPs votes. These votes can be explained by emphasising measures against take-overs such as a high level of market capitalisation and unequal voting rights. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6617

National and local politics in branding the pastLai, Shevren; Ooi, Can-Seng (Frederiksberg, 2015)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper critically examines the relationship between federal and local‐state level governments in interpreting and presenting the World Heritage brand at two Malaysian World Heritage sites, George Town and Melaka. The World Heritage status is internationally recognised. Although the World Heritage brand offers many advantages in tourism development and destination marketing, what and how the local heritage is conserved, interpreted and appreciated remains open. This article shows that the mechanisms of interpreting and presenting the WH status vary according to the agendas and needs of authorities. This working paper also shows that material heritage and heritage stories are highly politicized, and the World Heritage recognition has inevitably become a tool for further ideological intentions.

Exploring organizational antecedents for sustainable product development for international tour operating businessesBudeanu, Adriana (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The development of sustainable products or services is defined by Maxwell as the process of making products or services in a more sustainable way (production) throughout their entire life cycle, from conception to the end-of-life (Maxwell & van der Vorst, 2003). Essentially, sustainable products or services are alternatives to existing ones, but of a superior quality, providing the same function to the customer, being more cost-effective, while also generating less harm on the surrounding environments or societies. The emphasis is on securing the efficiency of inputs and outputs is all actions along the life cycle of the product or service, from raw materials to discharged waste, so that unnecessary consumption of resources and generation of wastes are avoided. More advanced concepts such as product-service systems and needs-oriented-service systems aim to reduce impacts from the production and the use phase, or even at the end-of-life phase of a product (Mont, 2002; Roy, 2000). New and under development, the area of product-service systems is increasingly gaining acceptance from companies (Manzini & Jégou, 2003). URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8544

The importance of sunk costs and spilloversSinani, Evis; Hobdari, Bersant (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper investigates the importance of sunk costs, firm characteristics and spillovers from nearby exporters on a firm's export participation decision. The empirical analysis involves the estimation of a non-structural, discrete choice, dynamic model with firm heterogeneity. The results suggest that both sunk costs and observable firm characteristics are important determinants of export market participation. In addition, previous history matters, in that, if a firm has been exporting the last period or the period before that it significantly increases the likelihood of the firm exporting in the current period. This conclusion is robust across all specifications. Also, larger firms with high capital intensity and foreign owned are more likely be exporters. Finally, while there is no clear evidence on export spillovers, if a firm operates in an export-oriented industry increases the likelihood of exporting. Dynamic Panel, sunk costs, export decision.

I'll be interested to see what happens with David Duncan this year. He was a prime example of Lancaster wrecking a season, with .415 BABIP and 44% LOB percentage.
He was actually very good at Lexington, much better than his ERA would suggest, with an awesome K/BB ratio and a very good FIP. I'd peg him as a breakout candidate if he weren't starting for the Jethawks, but at Lancaster, who knows...

Leandro Cespedes had a sub 4.00 FIP and nearly an 8 K/9 in Lancaster last year. His numbers were better than Ross Seaton's in lexington. I think Cespedes has done what he is going to do in Lancaster and will be moved up to Corpus and Ross Seaton will end up starting out in Lancaster
