An Organizational Trade-OffGammelgaard, Jens; Pedersen, Torben (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: When building up competences, a subsidiary of a multinational corporation (MNC) may rely on external knowledge sources like customers, suppliers, competitors or local science centers. Internal sourcing is also available through knowledge offered by headquarters or other affiliates. The question is whether the two kinds of sources are mutual exclusive. A dilemma or organizational trade-off is foreseeable, since the more the subsidiary adapts its knowledge creation processes to host country institutions, the less it will be able to utilize internal knowledge sources due to the institutional distance between the external and internal networks. However, newer organizational forms, like the concept of the "differentiated MNC", imply a relatively smooth flow of knowledge inside the MNC, indicating that we should not expect an organizational trade-off between internal and external sources. The subsidiary's ability to build on two knowledge networks depends on its scale of resources, absorptive capacity and the role it plays in the corporation. The relationship between internal and external sourcing is tested using a unique dataset that covers more than 2,000 subsidiaries located in seven different European countries (the Centre of Excellence Project). In fact, the results show that, to a certain extent, there is no dilemma between a subsidiary's knowledge development based on both internal, and external knowledge sources. However, the results also show a bell-shaped relationship between the use of internal and external sources, where a heavily embedded use of internal sources excludes the use of external sources.

Exploring the 'Black Whole' in Institutional TheoryJakobsen, Michael (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The aim of this article is to take a critical look at how to perceive informal institutions within institutional theory. Douglas North in his early works on institutional theory divided the national institutional framework into two main categories, formal and informal institution or constraints as he called them. The formal constraints consisted of political rules, judicial decisions and economic contracts, whereas informal constraints consisted of socially sanctioned norms of behaviour, which are embedded in culture and value systems. As formal constraints are straight forward to deal with the informal ones are much more vaguely defined and thus more difficult to grasp analytical. This imprecise perception of informal constraints is surprising as they basically constitute the foundation of the society in question, whereas formal constraints 'only' constitute the functional aspects of the state apparatus in that particular society. In order to, however, begin excavating what lies further behind the informal constraints and their impact on the functionality of the formal constraints it is important to take an overall critical look at the way in which institutional theory relate to a given societal context. This article suggest that this is done by first employing an overall international business (IB) approach to analyse a national economy, in this case the Malaysian economy. This will not, however, be done according to the generally accepted procedure in IB studies using either a firm specific or a generic market-based approach, but rather by employing a combination of selected IB theories and a 'glocalised reading' on how the relationship between the global economy and a national economy pan out and how this translate into impacting a given societal setup. In other words, IB theories are not only employed in the economic sphere, but also confronted with a variety of societal factors that have a positive or negative impact on the explanatory power of the individual IB theories employed.

Evidence from VietnamPham, Ha Thi Van (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The thesis revolves around the internationalization of Vietnamese firms - that is, how the international competitiveness of these firms is enhanced in terms of both upstream and downstream value chain activities and the export performance implications hereof. For Vietnamese firms, as well as for other firms from emerging markets, internationalization trajectories may differ considerably from the internationalization patterns portrayed in classical theories (such as the Uppsala Model) based on observations of the internationalization of firms from Western, developed market economies. Classical theories have primarily focused on firms' marketing & sales and networking capabilities as levers of internationalization – and less on upstream capabilities, such as manufacturing and auxiliary service competencies. Likewise the situation in other emerging markets many Vietnamese firms are inserted in global value chains (GVCs) governed by multinational buyers. For these firms, manufacturing skills may be of equal - or greater - importance to export performance than the mastering of marketing & sales and networking in foreign markets. The thesis presents various theoretical perspectives on firms' internationalization – perspectives that vary in terms of their focus on either upstream or downstream activities (or, the interrelationship of these two types of activities). The thesis tries to fill out the knowledge gap as to which of these theoretical perspectives fit best the trajectories of Vietnamese manufacturing firms involved in exports. In doing so, the thesis also draws on GVC models, entrepreneurial literature, and studies of economic as well as strategic export performance. Unique survey data covering 226 Vietnamese manufacturers involved in exporting was collected through face-to-face interviews conducted in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. On the basis of these data a set of hypotheses is tested using structural equation modelling as a statistical tool. The empirical study suggests that Vietnamese firms create international competitiveness in relation to both upstream and downstream activities. Furthermore, the study suggests that upstream competitiveness of the sample firms is significantly more attractive in terms of economic export performance (export sales, profitability and growth) than downstream competitiveness. However, when export performance is measured in more far-sighted, strategic terms, there are no significant differences between the two dimensions of competitiveness. The study also reveals some interesting industry differences: for firms in the "low-tech" textiles & garments industry, upstream competitiveness has greater impact on economic export performance than downstream competitiveness. Conversely, downstream competitiveness results in a higher economic return than upstream competitiveness for firms from the "high-tech" industries of electronics and mechanical manufactures In the last part of the thesis, theoretical, empirical, and managerial implications are discussed along with conclusions and suggestions for future research.

An empirical analysis of Economics and ManagementÓladóttir, Ásta Dis (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This dissertation consists of an introductory chapter, followed by four papers that approach the topic of internationalization of small economies and the multinational firm from different angles. The concluding chapter deals with what happened in Iceland after the crisis that started in October 2008 with the collapse of the Icelandic financial system and how the very fast internationalization of Icelandic firms was possible, but only as further issues that need to be researched. Each of the papers can be read individually as well as in the larger context of this dissertation. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7993

A Context-Specific StudyStucchi, Tamara (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This Ph.D. dissertation investigates some International Business (IB) issues, which emerge from a specific context of research. The study takes inspiration from one of the most currently debated phenomena in IB literature, i.e. the internationalization of Emerging Market (EM) firms. The recent global emergence of these firms is substantial and particularly interesting under several points of view, especially because the IB literature has traditionally been dominated by western-centric theories, whose applicability to the case of EM firms might be questionable. The present Ph.D. thesis recommends an approach to the study of the internationalization of EM firms that can contribute to the advancement of IB literature in general. This is illustrated by the four research articles of the thesis, where a single-country EM context is used to draw general implications useful for researchers, practitioners and policy makers. More in details, the first paper "Emerging market firms' acquisitions in advanced markets: Matching strategy with resource-, institution- and industry-based antecedents" studies the antecedents that can affect the motivations for the acquisitions that EM firms undertake in advanced markets. The second article, entitled "Time to internationalization and evolving institutions: An event history analysis of Indian firms", analyzes domestic firms' earlier versus later internationalization, during a period of radical institutional changes. The third paper, "The role of Overseas National Ownership in Outward FDI: A study of the Indian diaspora", studies how the presence of overseas national shareholders can influence homeland firms' outward FDI. Finally, the last article is entitled "Business groups' internationalization: The role of the domestic geographical scope" and analyzes one possible explanation for business groups' internationalization, from an organizational learning perspective. The Ph.D. thesis is empirically based on a very comprehensive sample of Indian firms. The data are collected from different sources, i.e. the Prowess database, the Zephyr database, the Indian Census and the World Competitiveness Yearbook. The potential value of this singlecountry context perspective is highlighted throughout the Ph.D. thesis, and clearly emerges while I address the different issues of the four research articles.

Yonatany, Moshe (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The aim of this study is elaborating the current understanding of a relatively new phenomenon: the internationalization process of digital service providers. It deploys a multiple case study methodology. Based on the case analyses and the discovery of new insights this study proposes a conceptual framework attempting at elaborating existing International Business theory. The analytical process of this study begins with explaining its context and developing definitions that are necessary for the purpose of data collection and case construction. Next, selected International Business theories and concepts are reviewed and contextualized propositions are developed. Following a detailed presentation of the case studies, the propositions are analyzed through per-case analyses. This analysis is coupled with a theory development exercise (which is presented in subsequent distinct sections). Here, unique findings of each case are analyzed in sequential per-case analyses in order to identify emerging patterns. Rudimentary concepts, which are grounded in the case findings, are proposed through the cross case analysis. In addition, the analysis of the propositions is summarized at this stage. Subsequently, a conceptual framework is proposed. To provide foundations for the framework, the proposed constructs are defined and explored more deeply, also through collecting additional data and integrating additional external literature. The conceptual framework is presented in the form of testable hypotheses. Finally, implications for International Business theory are drawn from the analyses and the conceptual framework.

An Empirical Analysis of Some Basic CharacteristicsKnudsen, Thorbjørn; Koed Madsen, Tage (København, 2002)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The label 'International New Ventures' has been used to designate firms, which from their inception are oriented towards the international market place. The present article aims to test empirically whether such a type of manufacturing firms differ from comparable firms with respect to some basic characteristics. The motivation for doing so is to evaluate the usefulness of studying International New Ventures as a distinct form of economic organization. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6891

Vaud ‐ key elements of successTSE Consulting; Institut for Produktion og Erhvervsøkonomi; PEØ; Department of Operations Management; OM (Lausanne, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The City of Lausanne and the Canton de Vaud asked TSE Consulting to prepare a report giving specific consideration to the business development possibilities for a proposed sports cluster development project. This report is a supplement to previous reports and other studies being commissioned on this topic. This report has been developed over five weeks during January and February 2014. It was prepared by TSE Consulting in Lausanne with input from TSE Academic Advisor, Troels Troelsen, an Associate Professor of Sports Economics at Copenhagen Business School. Information for this report was drawn from interviews, desk research and existing documents, combined with TSE Consulting's experience of working with sports cities around the world. The Olympic Capital sports cluster already exists and as such this report focuses on providing some key points which will assist in the further development and enhancement of the existing cluster. The report starts with a background and understanding of the cluster as it is today and then provides some key ideas to the further development of the sports cluster in the Olympic Capital. The report provides a definition of a cluster and outlines some of the pros and cons of an industry cluster for the organisations that are operating within them. The key ideas for ensuring that the future development of the cluster is successful are described and a starting point is provided for the next step to take for each point. Final comments are then made in relation to the proposed cluster and the case studies that have been developed in relation to the cluster are outlined in the Appendices. The idea of the cluster is a very exciting start of a new expansion of the sport sector in Lausanne / Canton de Vaud. This report aims to provide ideas and background to kick start the development with very concrete recommendations so that the implementation can start over the coming months.

Redskab til kontrol eller udvikling af offentlige organisationer?Hansson, Finn (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Det er en gennemgående tese i denne undersøgelse af interne evalueringer, at en af de vigtigste kendetegn ved den New Public Management -dominerede udvikling af den offentlige sektors reguleringspolitik, som Danmark såvel som en række andre OECD lande har gennemlevet, er en omfattende brug af alle mulige former for evalueringer og tilsvarende vurderings- og kontrolsystemer til styring og regulering af offentlige institutioner og aktiviteter. Den overordnede samfundsmæssige baggrund for denne udvikling består af en sammenkædning af grundlæggende ændringer i forholdet mellem videnskab og samfund, udvikling af mere og mere komplekse reguleringssystemer og måske vigtigst, hastige ændringer i samfundenes værdigrundlag (individualisering, se Beck 1999) – alt sammenholdt med voksende økonomiske problemer for den offentlige sektor i en globaliseret økonomi. Et af de mest karakteristiske træk ved NPM i forhold til tidligere politiske strategier for udvikling af den offentlige sektor er den meget omfattende og i nogle sammen¬hænge systemati¬ske anvendelse af evalueringsmetoder, af refleksive kontrol og reguleringssystemer, det som Power (1997) sammenfattende betegner som 'the audit society'. Overgangen fra styring af offentlige institutioner og organisa¬tioner via generelle politiske målsætninger og økonomisk rammestyring til en moderniseringsproces, hvor udviklingen er styret af et quasi-marked i form af brugerefterspørgsel og resultaterne skal dokumen¬teres i form af produktbeskrivelser, kon¬trakter (con¬tract management) og opfyldelse af kvalitetsmål, har krævet ibrugtagning af en række metoder og teknikker til organisationsudvikling og styring af produkterne kvalitet, som tidligere kun yderst sjældent har været anvendt af offentlige institutioner og organisationer. Mens NPM strategien med privatisering og deregulering viste sig at have begrænset rækkevidde, så efterlod den en omfattende brug af evalueringer og dermed en arv, som i første omgang blot fremtrådte som et teknisk hjælperedskab i udvikling og omlægning af offentlige institutioner, den systematiske brug af evalueringer som kontrol og styringsredskab. Efter en periode viste det sig imidlertid at blive til noget, der er mere end et teknisk hjælpemiddel. Evalueringer er kommet for at blive og har i denne proces fået en langt mere og mere selvstændig rolle og funktion – de er ikke længere blot et redskab til justering og feedback – men fremstår mere og mere som den nye centrale metode for organisationsudvikling i store såvel som små offentlige organisationer.

Johannesburg - Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) has noted various comments in weekend media attributed to the CEO of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Mr Giovanni Bisignani. Notably, Mr Bisignani reportedly claims that:
1. ACSA's proposed tariffs will hamper creation of jobs; 2. The proposal will make ACSA's tariffs, particularly O.R. Tambo International's, to be the highest in the world; 3. The basis of ACSA's tariff application is poor financial performance during previous regulatory period; and 4. ACSA has built infrastructure the industry did not want;
ACSA empathises with the challenge of having to apply for the inevitable tariff adjustment that could have been avoided. It has always been our position that a predictable, fair and transparent economic framework is critical for the sustainability of the aviation industry.
As a result, it should be noted that ACSA had proposed a different approach in terms of which the tariffs would have been smoothed over a period of time to avoid major increases during periods of high investments. Unfortunately, a decision was taken to delay a tariff recovery until the infrastructure was in use. The 2010-2015 tariff application is a reflection of the completed infrastructure.
Clearly Mr Bisignani is being misinformed when he alleges that ACSA's tariff application is due to poor financial performance.
Further, ACSA's economic regulator appointed an international, independent consultancy firm Mott-MacDonald to review ACSA's infrastructure development programme. In essence, Mott-MacDonald confirmed the appropriateness of ACSA's infrastructure development programme. Mott-MacDonald also noted the socio-economic benefits of these developments, in particular, in terms of job creation. Planned future developments as a result of passenger and cargo growth to result in the creation of some 150 000 new jobs over the next 10 years.
Despite ACSA's tariff application, an independent study has shown that ACSA's tariffs will remain competitive going forward.
ACSA is fully supportive of the Minister of Transport's view that the industry's economic regulation policy requires a review and we will continue to contribute in the development thereof.

Okay, let's say there really IS something out there called Internet addiction. What does one do about it? Recently an old pal, upon seeing that I went from 50 Facebook friends to 500 in only two months (yah!) sent me a book, "Breaking Free of the Web: Catholics and Internet Addiction" by Kimberly Young, Phy.D. and Patrice Klausing, O.S.F. I thought their advice was pretty good, for the most part, except for the confession stuff. Because, I've admitted this before, I'm just not real comfortable with that sacrament. I say we label it like Pluto, and bump it out of the solar system, I mean universe of Catholic sacraments. Here are their five steps for Catholics caught in destructive habits that involve lots of time in front of a computer monitor:
Step one: Be open.
At some point, the person needs to wake up to his behavior, and realize that time once spent on supervising homework with the kids is now squandered on surfing the net and reviewing the updates of Facebook "friends." Like any addiction, nothing will get resolved if a person stays in denial. He must admit the problem before recovery takes place.
Step two: Seek professional help.
Writes Young and Klausing: "It isn't easy to find a therapist familiar with the Internet, online addiction and the impact of online affairs. Over time this will change, but in the meantime, make sure that your therapist is someone willing to listen and learn about the Internet in order to best help you."
Step three: Practice the twelve steps.
The twelve steps were written for persons recovering from alcoholism, but they work for any addiction. I like to summarize the first three in this simple language: I can't. God can. I think I'll let him. Young and Klausing encourage those addicted to the Internet to join a support group of folks who are battling the same behavior. According to them, "this is especially important for Internet addicts who typically suffer from interpersonal difficulties such as introversion, a limited social network and poor social skills."
Step four: Celebrate the sacrament of Reconciliation.
The authors explain how this sacrament can be a powerful and energizing force in changing behavior. By preparing and participating in this sacrament, a person begins the process of "establishing a right relationship with God."
Step five: Have faith along the journey.
Young and Klausing rightly conclude that "the most challenging aspect of lasting recovery is fighting the temptation to return to the addiction," which is why it's so important to remember that God is with you–especially in those moments that fighting the beast of Internet addiction is hardest.

We built a rig to bury everyone waist deep in sand, while allowing them to move freely. Each of the lost souls was photographed in different configurations in the rig, allowing for a composite image that wouldn't repeat.
Each group of souls was cut out by hand in Photoshop and re-colored to match their new landscape. Souls were brought together to form the desert mountains you see in these images. No shortcuts were taken, the landscape alone took more than 100 hours of work combining thousands of people to make a realistic world made out of lost souls.
More photos and behind the scenes video coming soon!

Balance the Budget Fairly
On Tuesday, Sen. Sanders appeared on MSNBC and told host Thomas Roberts, "In America today you have the most uneven distribution of wealth and income of any major country on earth. You have the top 1% owning 42% of the wealth. the bottom 60% own 2.3% of the wealth. Do you think we should go after ordinary people who are hurting in the recession or ask the wealthiest people and around large corporations to pay their fair share?"
Watch Sen. Sanders on MSNBC here »
Sen. Sanders then appeared on the Thom Hartmann program and took questions from across the country.

Do you expect a specific stock to perform better if many other stocks in the portfolio are classified into the same industry? Similarly, do you feel that an Olympic athlete's chances of winning the gold could be affected by how many of the other finalists are from the same country?
Clearly, category size shouldn't matter. However, Huntsman Marketing Professor Aaron Brough and a colleague discovered that people seem to have a category size bias in which grouping possible outcomes together into a large category can make them seem more likely to occur.
Dr. Brough's research, which will appear in the Journal of Consumer Research, provides new insights regarding how categorization can impact perceptions of risk and probability. For example, when policy makers are crafting health-related messages for consumers, grouping a highly preventable disease such as lung cancer with a large number of other potential health risks could increase the perceived risk of contracting lung cancer, which may in turn persuade consumers to visit their doctor for regular screenings.

We booked Kevin Colangelo as our wedding DJ and both my wife and myself couldn't have been happier with the entire process leading up to our big day and the reception itself. Kevin made himself available for pre-wedding consultations numerous times, and actually met with us at our reception venue a couple of times for planning beforehand. We noticed right away how personable, funny, pleasant an professional Kevin is. What he offers and does is so much more than previous wedding DJ, we have seen. To call Kevin a DJ almost seems inaccurate, as he is so much more. He had tons of ideas and input into our reception, a lot of little things that we would never have thought about. We had a large reception with approximately 300 guests. Kevin choreographed the entire night and made sure things were on time. He goes way above and beyond just DJ duties as he was running around keeping everything running smoothly. His DJ booth/setup and uplighting brought the room alive and added class and elegance to our reception. We had tons of compliments throughout our reception from our guests regarding how Kevin was the best DJ they had seen at a wedding. My wife and I both feel that Kevin is at a completely different level than most other DJ's, and would without a doubt recommend him for anybody's wedding reception. You won't be disappointed!
I could not be more satisfied with Kevin Colangelo Premiere Disk Jockeys! Right from the beginning Kevin proved to me they are not just DJ's, but wedding professionals. I was really impressed with all the great advice he gave me, like how to set up the seating to better entertain our guest, and the right kind of lighting to use in our ballroom. I was even more impressed when I got the opportunity to use their online database to choose and browse songs! When I met with Tony, my DJ, he helped us set up a timeline of events to make the most of our reception time. At a lot of wedding I've been too, I find that the bride and groom are too busy to have fun at their reception. This was not the case for us. Tony took charge and kept everything running smoothly and on time. We did not have to worry about a thing! The dance floor was packed all night! I really loved his ability to read the crowd and play what pleased our guests, as well as accommodate or musical tastes and song requests. I would highly recommend Kevin Colangelo Premiere DJ's for your special event!
Kevin did a great job for my daughter's bat mitzvah. The crowd really danced the night away and there were lots of compliments.

Fairytale of New York
A story, in the sprit of Christmas, about Alex/Izzie and Mer/Der. A year on from now and everything has changed. When Alex and Izzie, meet up with Meredith and Derek for a festive reunion in New York, a couple of days before Christmas, just as a terrifying storm is about to hit the city.
Rating T/M
A year previously, Alex finally made the decision to leave Seattle behind and take his dream job at Hopkins. (Because, lets face it, in the real world he NEVER would have turned that down!) He also faced up to the fact that Izzie, always had been and always would be, the complete love of his life and he would never truly be happy with anyone else. So, he looked her up and discovered she was working at a hospital in New York and within a couple of months of contacting her they had re-married.
Izzie, had been working in New York, having moved to the city after leaving Seattle, to seek out treatment from a leading Oncologist there. After making a swift and full recovery, she had then started working at the same hospital, passed her boards and secured a neuro fellowship. After getting back together with Alex, Izzie decided to quit her fellowship in New York and relocate to work in Baltimore, where they could properly start their life together. Although, she had still had kept her apartment in New York and was travelling back there once a month to finish working on a trial she had been conducting.
Meredith and Derek, still based in Seattle, had been through a difficult year. Meredith, struggled to come to terms with the loss of her sister. As well as juggling her career, motherhood and being a supportive wife to Derek. She had also been plagued with constant doubts, over her decision to stay in Seattle and not take the job in Boston.
Unable to work as a surgeon, the past year, Derek, focused his energy on teaching, writing and travelling the country giving talks. Although, having just been cleared to work again, he is unsure whether he could ever regain his confidence enough to be able to achieve the levels of success he'd had before.
Chapter One
"Okay, listen up folks, looks like it's going to be one white wintery Christmas. We are looking at a red weather warning. Later this evening, we are expecting massive hail and snow storms, with chilling winds of over eighty miles per hour. We strongly urge you to stock up on basic supplies, food and batteries, stay out of city parks and get prepared for possible evacuation. If you have a flight scheduled, you may want to start making alternative plans... So, any last minute Christmas shopping you have to get done, now's the time to do it guys..."... Alex groaned, as he drowned out the sound of the radio and switched the car engine off. He undid his seat belt and stretched his arms out, tired from the long drive up to New York from Baltimore, after his exhausting shift at Hopkins. He was in New York, having a few well deserved days off, to spend the holiday with Izzie, before helping her finally move the rest of her stuff out of her old apartment and down to their place in Baltimore.
Opening the car door, and stepping out on to the street, Alex was immediately hit with a sharp gust of icy wind, as he turned to quickly make his way up to the comfort of Izzie's apartment to drop his things off, before he made his way down to the hospital where she worked to meet her.
Stepping in to his wife's apartment, Alex smiled and shook his head, as he remembered her saying sheepishly to him on the phone earlier that morning, that she may have put a few Christmas decorations up.
'A few decorations?' Alex thought, as he looked around amused, taking in the spectacular, festive wonderland he had stepped in to. Alex had forgotten just how much, Izzie, loved the holidays. There was an impressive, pine green Christmas tree in the corner of the room, beautifully decorated with glittering red, gold and silver lights, with a few perfectly wrapped presents placed underneath it. A row of frosted candles, wrapped in holly were along the side table. Two bright stockings were hanging over the fire place and a further border of twinkling Christmas lights were hung around the room, and lastly a large bunch of fresh mistletoe was tied above the kitchen door and the whole place smelt deliciously of cinnamon and spice. Alex breathed in, as he realized for once in his life, he felt right at home.
Alex, had always hated the holidays when he hadn't been with Izzie. Growing up, they had just been a stark reminder of everything he didn't have. Now, he hated to admit he was actually, starting to grow to love them a little, as they were becoming a stark reminder of everything he did have!
Derek Shepherd, paused, blinded slightly by the bright stage lights, gliding over the sea of faces in front of him. He knew, if he thought about it too hard, he would freeze, clam up, struggle to force the final few words out of his mouth. So, instead he focused on the one person, that had kept him going throughout the past turbulent year of his life and moving closer to the microphone, he smiled and said with crystal clear definition.
"Lastly, I would like to thank my wife. For putting up with me, always believing in me and no matter what, never doubting me. Without her support, I feel certain, that not only would 'The Shepherd Method', not be the success it now is. But, more importantly, that I would not be standing here today... Thanks for listening folks and I will be available for questions after" And he stepped back, breathing a silent sigh of relief. Derek, was never normally the sentimental type. Maybe it was the time of year, or that Meredith was actually there with him at one of his talk's for once; or just the fact that he was back in his home city. But, something had made Derek, express his gratitude to Meredith so publicly, for her unconditional love and support as he had struggled to readjust to his new life without surgery.
With his ears ringing from the deafening applause, following the overwhelmingly positive reaction to his talk. Derek, glanced over, to see his beautiful wife, smiling proudly back at him, from where she was stood underneath a huge sparkling Christmas tree, to the side of the large conference hall. Her eyes full of emotion as they met his, glittering as the bright, golden Christmas trees lights bounced off her face.
As he made his way down the steps to the side of the stage. Derek lit up a little inside, as he realized he actually couldn't remember the last time he had seen his wife smile like that. He also couldn't couldn't remember, the last time she had accompanied him to one of his talks and taken any time out at all for herself, from her busy work schedule back in Seattle and their baby daughter Zola. Derek was glad Meredith had come with him this time. The trip away together to New York, although brief, had certainly done them both good already.
As he walked straight up to her, Derek placed his arm gently around Meredith's neck and whispered softly in to her ear "I love you."
Before Meredith had the chance to respond, Derek was tapped lightly on the shoulder and he turned to respond to the inevitable flow of questions stemming from the aftermath of his talk, flashing Meredith a brief apologetic smile, before he was away, already engrossed in an in depth discussion.
Meredith smiled to herself, grabbing a full glass of champagne from a passing tray and sinking back in to the cover of the Christmas tree again, happy to stay in the background. She knew, there would be plenty of time for her to have her husband to herself later on, for now, she would let him bask in the success of what had been his biggest talk to date.
Izzie, stepped out in to the chilly New York December afternoon, her long blonde hair whipping around her face with the fierce winds, shivering, as she wrapped her charcoal grey, winter coat tightly around herself. She shivered some more, as she was hit with a sharp pang of emotion and a small tear formed in the corner of her eye. She still couldn't quite believe, that the time had come to finally say goodbye to the city, friends and hospital, that had been her home for the past, almost three years of her life. The place that had brought her back to life, made her re-discover who she really was and realize that no matter what had happened to her in Seattle, she'd still had everything to live for. For that, she would always be eternally grateful, but Izzie knew that the time was right to move on now, as she suddenly spotted Alex walking towards her. Hitting her with a rush of butterflies. They had been back together for nearly a year, but it still made Izzie go weak at the knees, every time she was near him and she still couldn't quite believe that she wasn't dreaming and despite everything, somehow they had managed to find their way back to each other.
Moving faster and faster, so she was almost running, Izzie leapt in to Alex's arms, as he buried his face in to her neck and the world stood still for a second, as they lost themselves in each other. Breaking apart eventually, just enough for them to find each others lips and lock together in a passionate kiss.
"Easy you two, you might want get yourselves a room" Elliot, one of Izzie's friends and co-workers said, as a group of them walked past.
"I haven't seen my husband for over two weeks, I'll have you know" Izzie said, giggling shyly, as she broke apart from Alex a little to face her friends.
"Well, have fun then and make sure you wrap up and stay indoors, it's going to be one wild night..." Elliot replied.
"Thanks, we will" Izzie said, still beaming at her friends, as another one added. "Oh and don't you dare leave town before coming to say goodbye properly Izzie."
"Wouldn't dream of it." Izzie said, as her eyes met Alex's for a brief second, before she turned back to wave her friends off.
Alone again, Alex wrapped his arms around Izzie's waist, as he looked in to her wide, soft brown eyes. "So, you stop by my apartment?" Izzie said, as a light sprinkling of snow fell around her, sparkling flakes catching in her long blonde hair.
"Err..yeah, although I thought I'd taken a de-tour and ended up in Santa's freaking grotto" Alex said, raising his eyebrows.
"Oh, you know it's my last Christmas here in New York, so, I wanted to make it a special one" Izzie replied, batting her long eyelashes sweetly at Alex, as the snow continued to fall around her.
Alex shook his head, as he put his hand up to lightly brush a snow flake out of Izzie's hair and move it away from the side of her face, as he said softly, his breath frozen against hers. "You know, we're not due to meet Meredith and Shepherd for a few hours yet. So, we could always just skip the Christmas shopping and go back to Santa's grotto right now, to warm up and have some fun."
Izzie leaned back a little and bit her lip, as she said playfully. "Oh no, you don't get out of taking me Christmas shopping that easily, Alex Karev."
"Okay, but you'll have to make it up to me later then." Alex replied, as he leaned in and whispered exactly how he wanted her to make it up to him. Causing a tingle of electricity to bolt through Izzie, as she turned to rest her head on his shoulder and they walked away arm in arm, as the bright white flakes of snow, fluttered even more heavily around them.
Meredith sipped her champagne and putting her hand up to her mouth, she chewed on her nail nervously, tentatively glancing around the room, for a familiar face. Flashy medical conferences, just weren't really Meredith's thing. She wasn't as confident as her best friend Cristina, or as naturally charming as her husband Derek. Meredith looked over to where Derek was stood, locked in an intense conversation with some fellow, leading medical professionals. Derek was nodding his head and smiling politely in agreement at them, he looked so polished and handsome, still every bit the rock star surgeon, in his sleek designer suit, with his perfectly styled hair. Meredith was so proud of him, despite everything, she knew he would come back even stronger when he started back in surgery again soon.
Meredith then groaned, as she spotted the one person she had been desperately trying to avoid all day walking straight towards her. It was Dr Levin, the woman that had offered her the position at Harvard, the position that Meredith had turned down.
"Dr Grey" the older woman said, as she strode towards Meredith. "How lovely to see you." Her smile was polite and friendly, whilst her eyes in contrast were icy and accusing. "What brings you away from Seattle and all the way out here?" She went on to say, through her bright red lips, as a cloud of her powerful musky perfume hit Meredith.
"Oh, well I came to support my husband" Meredith said, smiling back as warmly as she could, as she detected the sharp undertone to Dr Levin's words. Meredith had dodged her calls for a couple of weeks, before she had finally sent a cowardly email to explain her reasons for turning down the offer and by the look on the woman's face now, she wasn't used to people saying no to her, as her eyes bored intensely in to Meredith even further and she said. "Of course, you're the woman behind the great Dr Shepherd. I take it all is going well back in Seattle for you both?"
Meredith looked her firmly in the eye, as she replied. "Yes, very well thanks."
"That's great to hear, your mother would be very proud." Dr Levin said sharply in response.
Meredith felt as though, that last remark was a sharp slap around the face. Dr Levin had know Ellis Grey and they both knew, Ellis, would have been anything but proud, that Meredith had turned down the chance to work at Harvard, on one of the best programmes in the country. But, Meredith had to keep reminding herself, that she never was and never would be her mother. She had a family in Seattle and they were her first priority now.
Meredith gulped and looked over at the large clock on the wall behind her, willing the time to pass. She couldn't wait to unwind later with her husband and catch up with her good friend Alex, who they were due to meet for dinner before they flew home. Since he had left Seattle almost a year ago, Meredith had really missed Alex and being here now, just reinforced that even more. At that exact point in time, Meredith wanted nothing more than to be joking around with Alex and anywhere but stood in a room full of superficial, judgmental people, like this hostile, scary woman in front of her.
"Ooh, you ordered champagne" Izzie said, flicking her glossy long hair back. As the waitress brought an ice bucket and expensive looking bottle of Dom Perignon over to where she was sat with Alex, by the window in the low lit, fashionable restaurant/bar, after their afternoon shopping trip, as they waited for Meredith and Derek to join them.
"Well, it's not every day that we see the Shepherd's" Alex said grinning. Although, if he was honest, he also wanted to show off a little. The last time he'd seen anyone from Seattle, he'd been living practically rent free at Meredith's house on a modest resident's salary, barely able to pay for a four pack of beer. Now, for the first time in his life, he actually felt like he'd achieved something and that all his hard work had paid off. He was earning enough money at Hopkins to live very comfortably, having bought his own apartment, splash out on a flash new car and he was also planning to surprize Izzie and buy her the diamond Tiffany earrings she'd had her eye on earlier. Alex knew money couldn't buy happiness, but it sure helped, he thought with a smug smile. As he picked up his champagne glass and looked across at his beautiful wife. Her face illuminated, from the light of the flickering candle, placed perfectly at the centre of their table. With the bright city Christmas lights, shining brightly in the window behind her.
"To us." Alex said, as he raised his glass and thought, maybe, just maybe, he had made it now.
Izzie beamed back at him, as a powerful gust of wind lashed against the window behind them, followed be a sudden fierce down pour of giant icy hail stones hammering against the glass. Alex, looked over at the flat screen on the wall behind them, to catch the headline. 'City on red alert! As worst storm in decades, about to hit!'
Turning back to Izzie, Alex said, half joking, half serious. "You think we should be at home now, stocking up on canned food?"
Izzie, busy examining the contents of one of her shopping bags mumbled back. "Oh, no, they say the same thing every year, it never comes to anything."
"Okay, if you say so. Well, I hope Meredith and Derek get here soon, I'm starving." Alex said, as he turned to pick up and scan the menu in front of him. All thoughts of the potential storm fading, as he looked forward to seeing his friends and the night ahead...
To be continued...

Justin Timberlake illustrates an epic love story in his latest "Mirrors" video.
Perhaps to celebrate his recent stint on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" and his general list of infinite accomplishments, Justin Timberlake has dropped his "Mirrors" video the same day as The 20/20 Experience (way to keep us on our toes, dude). And as evidenced by the clip, nay, short film, it's time to bow down to the New Justin Timberlake — the better dressed, hair straightened (don't think we didn't notice your inching away from those curls, bb), high-concept Justin 2.0. If this were still the millennium, we'd say "Justin 2000," but, er, we feel like Justin would rather not talk about the *NSYNC days. So let's just focus on what's in front of us — the epic, emotionally wrought, perhaps-a-touch-too-long "Mirrors" video.
Watch Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors" video after the jump.
Directed by Floria Sigismondi, "Mirrors" takes us through the stages of an elderly couple's relationship (the couple in question being Justin's grandparents, William and Sadie, to which to video is dedicated). As the old woman mourns the loss of her late husband, she recalls their entire relationship, starting in the throws of teenage passion (lots of poodle skirts and bobby socks there) and moving into their (considerably less innocent) adult years. Through it all, love (and probably other things like respect, consideration, and kindness) prevailed. Clearly, Justin's already found a "mirror" of his own and is committed to emulating his grandparents' story — that Jessica Biel is one lucky lady.
Oh, and did we mention that this is a long, long video? Justin doesn't show up until more than five minutes in, but at long last there he is, looking as suave as ever in his pointy-toed shoes and slick overcoat. After retelling his grandparents' story, Justin moves the video from metaphor to literal as he wanders around a funhouse lined with, yep, mirrors. But he's not alone — Justin closes out his latest clip with a team of interpretive dancers and even sings directly to them as the lights fade in and out. While "Suit & Tie" was a Bond-smooth ode to Tom Ford and Alexander Wang, "Mirrors" is far and away the most artistic video Justin's ever done, packed with metaphor, meaning, and blink-and-you-miss-it visuals. We'll never say no to him in a "Suit & Tie," but we're really warming up to highbrow Justin — so long as we have a tissue box handy.

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Offlistening to this for the first time in years - still as fresh as ever
Digging: Cryptopsy - Whisper Supremacy
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Offisnt that hippo... fat?
yup half way through it now.. after some years and i agree
in fact.. bumped in from 4 to 4.5
Album Rating: 4.0Again I'm asking myself, HOW CAN A BAND LIKE THIS RELEASE FAKE MAINSTREAM ALBUMS???????
Album Rating: 4.0I would like to marry New Skin.
But only if that song is a girl.
Album Rating: 4.5Incubus were so goddamn good. I mean, they're still pretty good, but music that got moderate mainstream attention doesn't get any better than SCIENCE - Morning View.
Album Rating: 4.5^^^
New Skin and Redefine are two of the best songs of all time.
Album's fucking amazing. Nebula blew my mind from the start.
This > Make Yourself > Morning View.
Everything else is pretty mediocre, though A Crow Left of The Murder had its moments.
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Offid put morning view above make yourself. i have to say i think all incubus albums are great, even their newest one, but this - morning view is definitely their classic era.
Album Rating: 4.5a very fun album. the peak of their creativity
yeah. The best thing this band has ever done for sure.
make yourself is really good, but this just blows everything they did out of the water
I wish Incubus would start taking acid again.
Digging: Cigarettes After Sex - EP
they are so boring now it's sad.
I've enjoyed everything Incubus has released except "If not now, when?" Morning View is my second favorite.
didn't like their last two releases. Morning View is my second favorite as well.
their last album stunk a big turd
I moderately enjoyed Light Grenades. When Incubus released their latest album, I felt betrayed. I've been listening to Incubus since age 4 or 5.
Album Rating: 4.5Jose Pasillas needs some more respect. Some of the things he does in Redefine are just ridiculous.

Edmonton, Alberta, October 18th, 2011 – Medwell Capital Corp. ("Medwell") today announced that it has made a further $880,000 investment in Mimetogen Phamaceuticals Inc. ("Mimetogen"). This investment is the final tranche of the $2 Million funding by Medwell announced on February 25, 2011.
The Company further announces that Kevin Giese, President and CEO of Medwell has joined the Mimetogen board of directors. Medwell owns approximately 12% of Mimetogen.
Phase II Clinical Trial of MIM-D3 for Dry Eye Disease
Mimetogen's lead drug candidate for the treatment of dry eye disease, MIM-D3, is a small molecule mimetic of nerve growth factor (NGF). NGF is a naturally occurring protein in the eyes that is responsible for the maintenance of corneal nerves and epithelium, mucin and tear production. In contrast to most other products in development or on the market, MIM-D3 is designed to quickly and directly improve the quality of the tears produced by the eyes whilst reducing clinical signs and symptoms such as chronic dryness and grittiness. Dry eye disease is estimated to be a $1 billion US market for which there is currently only one FDA-approved treatment.
The 150-patient phase II randomized, double-masked, multi-center, placebo-controlled trial was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of MIM-D3 in improving both the signs and symptoms of dry eye.
About Dry Eye Disease
Dry eye disease is one of the most common ophthalmic problems, with an estimated 30 million people in North-America suffering from it and a worldwide prevalence closely paralleling that of the United States. Dry eye is a chronic multifactorial disease of the tears, the ocular surface and the adjacent neurological tissue that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance and tear film instability that may lead to permanent damage and scars to the ocular surface.
About Mimetogen Pharmaceuticals
Mimetogen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a private company focused on developing the use of peptidomimetics as a novel approach to treating diseases with high unmet medical needs. The underlying technology was developed at McGill University and the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research in Montréal. The Company is currently developing novel therapeutic approaches for ophthalmic indications including dry eye disease, glaucoma and other degenerative diseases of the retina. Mimetogen also possesses a pipeline of lead compounds for non-ophthalmic indications (such as neurodegenerative disease and pain). Please visit the corporate website at www.mimetogen.com

In a what's-ahead warning to homebuyers, the Roseville real estate broker promises something resembling burning deserts, howling winds and crops destroyed by hail. Buyers will be tested and tortured, he tells them. They will endure privations beyond all expectations.

Real estate brokers who have long complained about the time it takes to complete a short sale now have two U.S. congressmen in their corner who are sponsoring a bill that would require lenders to respond to consumer short sale requests within 45 days.
Lenders have been pushing more short sales as the industry recognizes them as a viable alternative to foreclosure. Short sales in the U.S. have tripled since 2008, according to data analyzer CoreLogic.

Variations of the homebuyer tax credit have generated more than $19 billion in tax breaks for over 2.6 million first-time homebuyers since the programs began in July 2008. However, due to a combination of recording errors on the IRS's behalf and home buyers attempting to circumvent the system, it looks like nearly half of the people that received money from the credit may have to return it.
