Brown Marmorated Stink Bug
Welcome to Michigan State University's Brown Marmorated Stink Bug website
This site contains information and links for growers and homeowners about a new invasive pest in Michigan, the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug.
2014 Update
For weekly reports on the status of this pest, stay informed through MSU Extension's Fruit & Nuts News.
Weekly Michigan Brown Marmorated Stink Bug reports:
- July 25, 2014 - One adult brown marmorated stink bug has been captured in a trap next to a peach orchard near Niles, Michigan in Berrien County, but no other detections have been reported.
- July 17, 2014 - A statewide brown marmorated stink bug monitoring program in fruit and vegetable crops continues with more sites reporting, but still no detections to report.
- July 10, 2014 - A statewide brown marmorated stink bug monitoring effort in fruit and vegetable crops is underway, but so far none have been detected.
Some key articles from MSU Extension News:
- Brown marmorated stink bug spring update 2014 (March 26, 2014)
- 2014 statewide trapping system crucial for spotted wing Drosophila and brown marmorated stink bug (Jan. 14, 2014)
The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys (Stål), is an exotic pentatomid species native to Asia. Pennsylvania State University Cooperative Extension first found specimens in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in 1996.
In 1999, a specimen was found in a Rutgers University blacklight trap about 30 miles east of Allentown in Milford, New Jersey. Since that time, specimens have been identified in 29 states, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region but with additional populations in Oregon and Southern California. Midwestern populations of BMSB were found in Ohio in 2007, Illinois in 2009 and in Michigan in fall 2010. As with many other invasive species, the distribution is likely spread wider than reported.
What crops are affected?
Brown marmorated stinkbug has a host range of over 300 plants including many agricultural and ornamental crops. Feeding damage has been recorded in high value specialty crops including tomatoes, sweet peppers, raspberries, apples, peaches, pears and cherries as well as damage in corn and soybeans.
Status in Michigan
In fall 2010, BMSB was detected in Michigan for the first time. No additional specimens have been found in Michigan as of May 30, 2011.
What to do if you have a suspect BMSB?
Place it in a box (dry) with tissue paper or in white vinegar and mail or drop off to:
Howard Russell
Diagnostic Services
Michigan State University
101 Center for Integrated Plant Systems
East Lansing, MI 48824
Be sure to include with the specimen the location where you found the insect and your name and contact information (email or phone if no email). See additional tips for submitting insects for identification to MSU Diagnostic Services.

In addition, this substance or substances necessary for normal growth of bones, to promote the development of infants and young children is important. Cooked carrots is best to eat inside because it contains fat-soluble vitamins, eaten raw can cause most of the carotenoids can not be absorbed by the body.

How I Met Your Mother is going to have to figure out how to still show Marshall and Lily spending time in the bar with the others while they juggle being new parents, but fortunately, they already have a plan in place—and it's an amusing one.
HIMYM Season 8 Spoilers
Executive producer Craig Thomas told TV Guide, "We obviously orchestrated Marshall and Lily coming back to that apartment so they'd be right above the bar. Marshall and Lily have to still be a part of this group. There's going to be a lot of tag team and they're going to devise a system where they each get 15 minutes, like when she joins in, she takes the second half of Marshall's beer and orders another one and Marshall will come and get it. They're going to figure out how they can have a life and be parents."
This should make for some amusing moments in How I Met Your Mother season 8, but they'll also have to find someone to watch their baby so they can both spend time in the bar with their friends at the same time. After all, you can't just have Marshall in some scenes, then Lily in others. Sure, it can last for a short time, but not forever. Could this be what they do before they get a babysitter? Perhaps they're not ready to leave Marvin with a stranger in the beginning and so this plan comes into play. Then, eventually, one of them (or Ted, Barney, or Robin) suggests just getting a babysitter, and they can use the process of finding one for some laughs, then get the group all together once again in their booth.
What do you think of the latest How I Met Your Mother season 8 spoilers?

Croydon-born cook and food writer Rachel is a chef, a twice-published author and a self-confessed food creative. Her passion for food took her to the French capital some years ago where she trained at Le Cordon Bleu. She went on to open her own restaurant – the smallest in the city, with just two covers – in her Belleville flat, and it went down a storm with the notoriously tough French critics.
Her unique take on French cooking – influenced by her Malay-Chinese-Austrian heritage – made her the perfect host to explore the city's finest food in her first cookery show, The Little Paris Kitchen, where she demystifies French food from her tiny Parisian studio apartment.

Back to Central and Northern Asia: 1500 to 1000 B.C.
South central Asia was now occupied by various migrating Indo-European tribes, some moving gradually south between the Aral and Caspian seas and others moving west toward the southern Russian steppe. Ordos, the region of Mongolia lying inside the loop of the Yellow River where it turns north, was inhabited by nomadic tribes, including the Hsiung-nu, an Altaic-speaking Mongoloid people.1 Broad daggers, curved knives, harness ornaments and belt plaques with animal profiles have been among the remnants found. Rock carvings in Tibet along the upper Indus River valley in Ladakh on the Tibetian-Kashmir border dating 2,000 to 3,000 years ago indicate Stone Age hunters with bows and arrows. Due to a gradual continued rise of the Himalayan arc and the resulting lessening of the effective rainfall through the centuries much of this area is now desert. (Ref. 8, 45, 182)

It's shaping up to be a pretty exciting two weeks for the Maneri family.
Last week, Anthony, a longtime Saddle Brook resident and police officer, earned a promotion to Sergeant after 19 years on the force. This week, his son, Steve, is one step closer to earning a roster spot with the Kansas City Chiefs. The 24-year-old converted offensive tackle who shed more than 40 pounds this offseason in an effort to transition to tight end, made the team's first roster cut Sunday. By Friday, Steve will know whether he's made the Chiefs' opening day roster as its third tight end.
Anthony, who moved to Saddle Brook with his wife, Susan, 26 years ago, has long been an active township volunteer who enjoys helping others. Before becoming a police officer, he served on the Saddle Brook Ambulance Corps and as a township youth baseball, basketball and football coach for his three sons.
Anthony's eldest son and namesake, Anthony, Jr., 26, owns the Atlantic City-based emergency medical transportation company, TriCare Medical Transportation; middle son Steven is in his third year out of Temple University, fighting for an NFL roster spot; and youngest son, Justin, 22, is a recent graduate of Lehigh University, where he played center for the school's basketball team that upset No. 2 seed Duke in the first round of the 2012 NCAA tournament.
For the past decade, Anthony has been an active member of the Saddle Brook police honor guard and is also in charge of the department's vehicle fleet maintenance.
"I look forward to a new phase in my career as a police Sergeant working with some of the best police officers in state of New Jersey," he said. "I want to thank Mayor Karen Chamberlain, and police chief Robert Kugler for this opportunity to further my career."

New Brunswick City Council swore in three council members and picked a new president and vice president at Wednesday's annual reorganization meeting.
Elizabeth Garlatti and Glenn Fleming were respectively sworn into new terms while John Anderson was sworn in for his first term as a councilman.
The council voted to appoint councilwoman Rebecca Escobar as president, and councilman Kevin Egan as vice president.
Fleming, who took the council member oath as his two young sons held the bible that he placed his left hand on, said all council members and the residents who come out to meetings love the city, and he looked forward to working with everyone to keep New Brunswick progressing.
"We're all going to do a good thing for the city of New Brunswick because like Mr. Fleming said, we all love the city of New Brunswick," Egan said.

It's been fun thinking about the television characters I'm most grateful over the last few days. I've already seen some of them in new episodes and feel extremely validated in my selections (like New Girl's Schmidt and House's Dr. James Wilson who were fantastic this week!) Alas, it's time to wrap up this train of thought (for now!) with the last part, focusing on my favorite folks to watch each Wednesday.
Many Thanks: Revenge's Nolan Ross (Gabriel Mann). To say Revenge is this season's hit guilty pleasure is beyond obvious. It's not often that people ask me about a show before I've gotten the chance to ask them. This fall, I (the TV guru so many people think me to be!) was asked more times than I can remember about the new piece of nighttime soap perfection called Revenge. For those out there who have somehow missed the buzz, here's your wake-up call. Don't think I'm ungrateful for Emily VanCamp's massive departure from her past roles on Everwood and Brothers & Sisters. She is fantastic in Revenge! As the scene stealer of the show, though, Nolan has developed from an annoying geek to a cunning ally. The fact that he has given us almost as many surprises as he has layers has me wondering, is he truly the ally we've thought him to be? The questions he's now provoking coupled with the quirky mannerisms, playful turns of phrase, varied tones of voice, and those seduction scenes (you know which ones I'm talking about!) has made me forget what the heck else is on Wednesday nights except…
Honorable Mention: Modern Family's Gloria Delgado-Pritchett (Sofia Vergara) reminds me of a present day Lucy Ricardo. In an ensemble that's always funny, and has many standout stars, Sofia – who started out strong – has developed into an even greater powerhouse. Now in Season 3, Sofia's found her place among the comedians while Gloria's found her place in the family. Even her throwaway one-liners are now some of the funniest parts of an already heartwarmingly hilarious comedy.

So, who did I miss? Are there any others among your favorite Wednesday characters you want to give thanks for?
P.S. Thank you for helping me kick off the first week of my new blog! I'd be surprised if I'm able to write on a daily basis going forward, but I promise to come back as often as I can. You know I love TV more than I should, so whenever time permits I'll be here sharing my obsession with anyone who is interested!

Islam to be Recognized as an Official Religion in Germany

A preliminary contract has been signed for Islam to be recognized as an official religion in Lower Saxony after (more)
01 October 2013
A preliminary contract has been signed for
to be recognized as an official religion in Lower Saxony after a similar position was adopted in Germany's Bremen and Hamburg provinces. Lower Saxony Prime Minister Stephen Weil met with representatives of Islamic institutions at the provincial guest-house to initiate the talks to accept Islam as an officially recognized religion.
Hamburg was the first German state to recognize Islam last November, with Hesse following suit in December. Bremen is the third German state to confer this status on Islamic organizations.
Now Lower Saxony is following suit. Noting the
in Lower Saxony were a key part of the society, the prime minister said: "Ther ehas been mutual distrust in the past and our government wishes to show its respect to the Muslims with this contract." The meeting, hosted by hosted the Chairman of Provincial Union of Lower Saxony and Bremen was attended by the Turkish Islamic Union of Religious Affairs Yilmaz Kilic, Chairman of Hannover Council Avni Altiner and Chairman of Alawite Unions Federation in Germany Huseyin Mat along several German politicians and guests.
"We have about 30 issues upon which we desire to discuss and agree on. We would like to sign a contract which can set an example for other major provinces" Kilic said for his part.
Altiner noted that 6.7 percent of the those living in the Lower Saxony province were Muslims, adding they were pleased to have signed a preliminary contract which would allow them to benefit from the same rights that Christians and Jewish people already have.

The Way
Religious Thinkers of the Russian Emigration in Paris and Their Journal, 1925–1940
Antoine Arjakovsky
Translated by Jerry Ryan
Edited by John A. Jillions and Michael Plekon
Foreword by Rowan Williams
The journal Put', or The Way, was one of the major vehicles for philosophical and religious discussion among Russian émigrés in Paris from 1925 until the beginning of World War II. This Russian language journal, edited by Nicholas Berdyaev among others, has been called one of the most erudite in all Russian intellectual history; however, it remained little known in France and the USSR until the early 1990s. This is the first sustained study of the Russian émigré theologians and other intellectuals in Paris who were associated with The Way and of their writings, as published in The Way. Although there have been studies of individual members of that group, this book places the entire generation in a broad historical and intellectual context. Antoine Arjakovsky provides assessments of leading religious figures such as Berdyaev, Bulgakov, Florovsky, Nicholas and Vladimir Lossky, Mother Maria Skobtsova, and Afanasiev, and compares and contrasts their philosophical agreements and conflicts in the pages of The Way. He examines their intense commitment to freedom, their often contentious struggles to bring the Christian tradition as experienced in the Eastern Church into conversation with Christians of the West, and their distinctive contributions to Western theology and ecumenism from the perspective of their Russian Orthodox experience. He also traces the influence of these extraordinary intellectuals in present-day Russia, Western Europe, and the United States.
Throughout this comprehensive study, Arjakovsky presents a wealth of arguments, from debates over "Russian exceptionalism" to the possibilities of a Christian and Orthodox version of socialist politics, the degree to which the church could allow its agenda to be shaped by both local and global political realities, and controversies about the distinctively Russian theology of Divine Wisdom, Sophia. Arjakovsky also maps out the relationships these émigré thinkers established with significant Western theologians such as Jacques Maritain, Yves-Marie Congar, Henri de Lubac, and Jean Daniélou, who provided the intellectual underpinnings of Vatican II.
Antoine Arjakovsky is research director at the Collège des Bernardins in Paris and founding director of the Institute of Ecumenical Studies and professor of ecumenical theology at the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, Ukraine. He is the author of a number of books, including Qu'est-ce que l'orthodoxie?
"The Way is an important work, brilliantly researched, and the product of a true scholar who talks to us theologically as he progresses. Antoine Arjakovsky's main focus of interest is on ecumenical theology, and he argues convincingly that Orthodox thought as manifested in these leading-edge thinkers still has a major role to play in opening an authentically Orthodox but inclusive ecclesiological line of approach to contemporary Christianity." — John A. McGuckin, Union Theological Seminary
"The journal The Way was the heartbeat of the Russian religious intelligentsia from 1925 until the end of World War II, and no more creative band of religious thinkers existed anywhere in the world at the time than this small group of Russians coordinated by the indefatigable Berdyaev. This book is an extraordinarily rich study that deserves to be widely known. Its subject is of the first order of importance for modern intellectual history." — Paul Valliere, Butler University
"The Way is the first comprehensive study of one of the most important movements in modern Russian intellectual history. Arjakovsky provides a lucid account of a vibrant theological circle of Russian emigres in Paris who were in dialogue with their Western Christian counterparts. They sought to develop Christian thinking that remained rooted in tradition but could speak to modern problems, exploring its implications for philosophical, political, and cultural issues that still have much to say to contemporary Christian thought. We are deeply indebted to Arjakovsy for this masterful presentation." — Scott Kenworthy, Miami University
"Antoine Arjakovsky has provided English readers with the first in-depth study of an unparalleled creative moment in the history of modern Russian religious and Orthodox thought, the lasting impact of which has yet to be fully appreciated. Both a historical excursion and a critical intellectual enterprise in its own right, Arjakovsky's study offers a detailed guide to the diversity of thought and philosophical debates among a stellar group of Russian émigré intellectuals. Those interested in the history of modern Orthodox Christian thought, Russian religious philosophy, and church politics among the first wave of Russia's Orthodox emigration will find a trove of information in this volume." — Vera Shevzov, Smith College

Some employee shifting news, this time someone from Google's Blogger service jumping over to Odeo plus Yahoo gaining a noted Nokia employee.
Dirson notes that Biz Stone from Google's Blogger has jumped ship to the Odeo podcasting service (which I find pretty cool and hope to do a longer review shortly). Evan Williams, cofounder of Blogger, started Odeo after leaving Google last October. Stone explains his reasoning here, saying:
Blogger is hitting a high note right now in more than one aspect with lots of cool stuff to work on over the next year. It's been awesome here at Google and I'm going to miss working with such a great group of people....
Odeo was officially founded in December of last year and recently announced funding. There's already an awesome group crowded into that little San Francisco office and I figured if I wanted to play, then now is the time. So I looked into it and Williams told me I have a face for Odeo. Well, not in so many words but you understand. There's lots of potential here and I'm excited about doing my part to help see it through. I'll miss working with my Google friends but I look forward to shaking things up and, er, making some noise at Odeo.
Meanwhile, Russell Beattie notes that Yahoo has gained Christian Lindholm, who he says is the "father" of the Nokia Series 60 an Navi-key UI. He'll be VP of global mobile products. Lindholm shares more on his blog here, including his three reasons for going to Yahoo:
A perfect blend of content and communication
Yahoo being well positioned for expected growth in the next generation of the web
Yahoo really wants to "crack" the mobile internet nut

ORLANDO -- Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph will not play Sunday evening against the Orlando Magic because of a left ankle sprain.
Randolph is day-to-day. Darrell Arthur will start in place of Randolph.
"It's swollen," Randolph said of his ankle. "I'll see how it feels in a couple of days. I want to get it 100 percent."
The Grizzlies play again Wednesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers in FedExForum.
Randolph was hurt Friday on the opening possession of a loss to the Miami Heat.
He landed awkwardly after attempting a runner in the lane. Randolph immediately grabbed his left ankle and writhed in pain. He tried to jog and shake off the injury but was clearly hobbled the rest of the game.

Safeway Begins Building Clinics in its Stores
Although there is no official announcement yet, Merchant Medicine has learned that Safeway is building retail clinics in its stores in California, from the Bay Area to south of Los Angeles. We have learned from our sources that the company could have plans for 100 or more clinics. Some are nearly completed, and furniture has been ordered. Based on one of the building permits we reviewed online, which listed the clinic at 399 square feet, we anticipate that retail clinics will open inside Safeway stores this fall. A spokesperson for Safeway was not immediately available for comment.
We were unable to confirm who will operate the clinics. Given California's tough corporate practice of medicine laws, it is unlikely Safeway will operate the clinics themselves through a wholly owned subsidiary, as is done by Target, CVS, Walgreens and Kroger. Among the options would be local area physicians, regional multispecialty groups, or national or regional health systems.

If you lose a laptop pc, you could be out much more than the money you'll spend to replace the hardware. You may give away sensitive company information and a free ticket into your network. Here are seven things that you can do to keep your traveling computers secure.
Use a Cable LockBecause a laptop pc is easy for you to carry, it's also easy for a thief to carry away. A good cable lock can help protect your computer when it is left unattended at your desk. Locks are also an excellent theft deterrent at trade shows and meetings. It's very easy for an unsecured laptop to disappear into a crowd while you are distracted. Check out our reviews of the best cable locks here.
Don't Use a Laptop CaseA laptop case only advertises the fact that you are carrying a valuable computer. Try using a padded sleeve in your briefcase, or a backpack with a laptop compartment. The less attention you invite, the better.
Keep Your Eyes Open at CheckpointsWhen your laptop trundles down the conveyor belt at airport security, surrounded by shoes and overnight bags, it's easy to lose sight of. Stay focused on your laptop's location as you move through the line and pick it up as soon as it emerges from the scanner. I learned this the hard way on a trip from Virginia to Texas. Leaving security, I grabbed what I thought was my laptop and headed for the gate. Later I realized that someone had already taken my computer and left their very similar model behind.
Back Up DataThe only thing worse than losing sensitive data, is losing the only copy of sensitive data. Make sure that your files are backed up - either to your network, or to external media such as a thumb drive - to avoid a total loss.
Practice Good Password HygieneTreat your password like your toothbrush - never share it, and replace it often. It's a pain, but frequent password changes do keep you more secure. A good habit to cultivate is that of refreshing your passwords every four to six months. Two bad habits that you need to kick are letting websites remember your passwords and leaving them on slips of paper in your laptop bag or briefcase.
Use Two Factor AuthenticationAdding a fingerprint reader in addition to your password gives you and extra layer of protection when you log on. Good security - whether physical or IT - is all about layers. No policy or device will be strong enough to protect you on its own, but every new layer adds strength and toughness to your security plan.
Choose Your Hot Spots CarefullyNot all WiFi connections are equally secure. It may be possible for a clever hacker to read all of your work - including passwords and account numbers - as you sip your coffee and type. For more information on hot spot security, read Using Your Laptop at Starbucks.

[6.4.] Against Happiness/Pleasure as the Sole Intrinsic Value.
For the most part, utilitarians no longer believe that happiness/pleasure is the only thing with intrinsic value.
Ě James Rachels discusses some of the reasons for this in EMP 8.2; see his examples of the concert pianist whose hands are injured and of the person whose friend makes fun of him behind his back. These examples are supposed to show that ô[w]e value things other than pleasure. For example, we value artistic creativity and friendship. These things make us happy, but thatĺs not the only reason we value them. It seems like a misfortune to lose them, even if there is no loss of happiness.ö (EMP 112)
Ě Robert Nozickĺs[1] thought experiment about the experience machine (see RTD ch.5) is supposed to illustrate the fact that humans do, and should, value things other than pleasurable experiences. He concludes: ôWe learn that something matters to us in addition to experience by imagining an experience machine and then realizing that we would not use it.ö (RTD 45)[2]
If Rachels and Nozick are right, then utilitarianism is wrong if it assumes that the only thing with intrinsic value is a certain kind of experienceů like happiness or pleasure.
For the most part, modern utilitarians do not focus on any sort of experience. Instead, they focus on welfare or general well-being. The difference between modern utilitarianism and classical utilitarianism is that modern utilitarianism replaces hedonism with an emphasis on welfare or general well-being:
modern utilitarianism (full definition):
Ě consequentialism: what makes an action right or wrong are nothing but its effects
Ě impartiality: the interests of any being are just as important as the same interests of any other being.
Ě welfarism: that which has intrinsic value is well-being, or making people (and perhaps other creatures) better off; this may include happiness/pleasure but is not limited to it.[3]
From here on, weĺll be talking about modern utilitarianism, not classical.
Stopping point for Tuesday February 25. For next time (Tuesday March 4), finish reading EMP ch.8 (pp.117-124) and study todayĺs lectures notes. We WILL definitely have a quiz over this material at the beginning of class.

VALDOSTA — To those complaining about paying for someone else's kids' education: unless you went to private school how do you think your education was paid for? Do you think your parents should have paid higher taxes because they had you?
You have no idea if that person using an EBT card is entitled or not! They may be widowed military spouses or vets fallen on hard times, due to illness. Your business is to take what is yours, and leave what others have to them. You know nothing of their circumstances just by looking.
Many have no children, or no children in public schools any longer, or no children in public schools. But all must pay public school tax. For that students now get a watered-down education in public schools with little concern in their household, resulting in high drop outs and too many high school grads with sixth-grade knowledge. Public education is not free. We pay a tax, then pay much more long after for education failure.
It is a shame that whenever budget cuts are discussed, the first areas talked about are defense and education. There is so much glut in government that could be cut. Why not freeze government pay, stop the horrendous overspending, stop paying for illegal immigrants and concentrate on the needs of our citizens. Stop punishing those who have sacrificed so much to defend this country.
Why does our health insurance have to skyrocket to pay for those who can't or choose not to purchase it?
Those who are lower income receive upwards of $10,000 in earned income credits from their tax refunds each year that would cover their costs. I guess they get to have cake and eat it too.
Anyone else find it curious that there is a virtual monopoly on Internet service in Valdosta, and that our sole supplier is of unacceptable quality?

What I had in mind in writing this was a Buddhist verse that was placed on one of my recent posts. "What you are now is what you have been; what you will be is what you do now." You are a culmination of your past and your future is determined by what you do this moment. We only live in this moment and so the present moment is what is most important. The past cannot be changed and we don't know whether this will be our last moment or not, the future never guaranteed.
That's good to ponder and good to apply to give meaning to the present moment, but let's see what the Word of God has to say about living in the present, for in these matters "Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual." 1 Corinthians 2:13.
The whole book of Ecclesiastes deals with the futility of life without God. The verse in the Word of God that comes closest to this Buddhist concept is this one from Ecclesiastes: "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." (1:9) The part of the verse that makes this Buddhist verse vapid in comparison is what is added. "There is no new thing under the sun."
For though the idea of living in the present is a good thing to ponder, to know that we are the culmination of the past, and that what we do in the present will dictate what we will be in the future, there is an existentialist quality to the idea that can lend itself to despair without the knowledge and wisdom that the Word of God ascribes with the additional sentence and the rest of the Book of Ecclesiastes.
Because everything really is meaningless, how can you justify your existence, be satisfied with what you have, or have hope for the future if you know that this is so? The only way is to have Christ, trusting in Him with the hope that those plans of yours that you carry out today are in the will of the Father so that no matter what happens outside of your control will culminate in a future that does have meaning since the present that creates it also has meaning because of Him.
So let's look at the theme of this post for a second and identify it. It's about the futility of life without God, specifically Jesus Christ, the manifestation of God to us and how in Him we have meaning to an otherwise meaningless existence. I welcome your thoughts about Ecclesiastes and the meaing that God puts into your life.

Zero in on your target market by using Market Segmentation.
First of all, is your product international or national in scope? Or is it more likely that you will sell it primarily in your own region or community?
In the case of our charter business, our primary market is actually national or international – tourists who come to this area from all over the world. Our secondary market is local – people who have a special event to celebrate, a company meeting or retreat to plan, or company coming from out of town.
Let's say that your primary market is local or regional, and that you live in a community with a population of 25,000 people. The first thing you'll need to do is research the demographics of your community, and divide it into market segments:
- Age: children, teens, young, middle, elderly
- Gender: male, female
- Education: high school, college, university
- Income: low, medium, high
- Marital status: single, married, divorced
- Ethnic and/or religious background
- Family life cycle: newly married, married for 10 – 20 years, with or without children.
This information should be available to you through your local town , hall, library, or Chamber of Commerce – and the more detail you can get, the better.
Next, you need to segment the market as much as possible using psychographics as your guide:
- Lifestyle: conservative, exciting, trendy, economical
- Social class: lower, middle, upper
- Opinion: easily led or opinionated
- Activities and interests: sports, physical fitness, shopping, books
- Attitudes and beliefs: environmentalist, security conscious.
*Note: if you are a B2B company, you'll also need to consider the types of industries available to you, and their number of employees, annual sales volume, location, and company stability. In addition, you might want to find out how they purchase: seasonally, locally, only in volume, who makes the decisions? It is important to note that businesses, unlike individuals, buy products or services for three reasons only: to increase revenue, to maintain the status quo, or to decrease expenses. If you fill one or more of these corporate needs, you may have found a target market.
By now you should have a picture emerging of who you think your ideal customer is … or who you want it to be.
Depending on the nature of your business, you might even be able to write a description of your customer. "My target customer is a middle-class woman in her 30s or 40s who is married and has children, and is environmentally conscious and physically fit."
Based on the numbers you uncovered in your research, above, you may even know, for example, that there are approximately 9000 of those potential customers in your area! It may well be that 3000 of them are already loyal to a competitor, but that still leaves 6000 who are not, or who have not yet purchased the product from anyone. Do the research!
Lots of times prospective customers don't know about your company, or can't tell the difference between your company and others. It is your job, once you know who your best customers are, to 'target' the group that you've identified - even if you have competition.
In addition, you may decide, using the example above, that you'd also like to extend your target market to include women from 50 to 60 years of age. If you go back to the basic reasons why people purchase goods or services, and can find ways to target your efforts to that age group, you may be successful in capturing a bigger share of the market!
On the other hand, what if you 'specialized' your product or service and then researched your target market, only to discover that there are probably less than 75 people who will buy from you?
First of all, if those 75 are corporate customers who will spend hundreds on your product or service annually, then you have nothing to fear. But if those 75 are only going to spend $10 every decade on your product or service, you need to go back to the drawing board of planning your business and perhaps determining a wider target market. At least, though, you are armed with all the information you need to start again, or go in a different direction.
Let's face it - there's a market, and a target market, for everything.
If you don't think so, remember pet rocks?

In the 160-pound championshp match, Plano's Wes Brown (right) escapes from Sterling Newman's Brian Bahrs. | Jon Cunningham~For Sun-Times Media
Plano's wrestling team took a step forward in finishing third at the I-8 conference tournament on Saturday, just six team points behind second-place Sandwich.
"Taking third was nice because we were fourth as a dual team this year, so we moved up a little bit," Plano coach Joe Kampf said. "Now we know that we're going to have to beat Wilmington here in two weeks if we want a regional championship."
Wilmington outscored Sandwich 216-169.5 to win the I-8 team title and will join Plano at the Class 1A Seneca Regional on Feb. 2.
"We know what the goal is and hopefully we'll wrestle the way we're capable of to beat them," Kampf said. "We'll see what guys show up for us."
Wes Brown (34-3 at 160) and Derrick Maisonette (33-1 at 220) won I-8 titles for Plano, while Jake Wilson (27-7 at 106) and Junior Nunez (16-6 at 285) placed second in the conference. Both Brown and Maisonette were the top seeds in their weight classes.
Brown won 5-3 over Seneca's Tommy Lovett to win his title, while Maisonette won 8-3 over Herscher's Beau Thomas.
"Everybody else on the team was basically in the third-place match," Kampf said, "and Shaun Wollenweber was able to take third for us."
Wollenweber (23-9) won a 5-3 overtime decision on the third-place mat at 132 over Manteno's Travon Done.
Placing fourth for Plano were Ivan Lopez (24-11 at 138), Zack Tomac (15-8 at 145), Killian Murphy (22-14 at 152) and Alex Rodriguez (21-17 at 170). Myles Mendoza (123-16 at 113) pinned Kenny Demarah of Herscher to place fifth for the Reapers.
Plano went 25-6 in duals this season, setting a program record for wins. Kampf's boys went 8-3 in I-8 duals this year.
UEC meet
Batavia finished fourth at this year's Upstate Eight Conference meet, getting titles from Joel Shump (34-0 at 126) and Jon Wagner (30-5 at 160) and a pair of seconds from Mickey Watson (14-3 at 195) and Mitchell Krusz (15-7 at 285).
The Bulldogs finished a half-point behind third-place Metea Valley. St. Charles East finished first, with Neuqua Valley second.
Batavia also got thirds from Mike Doranski (21-15 at 106) and Connor McKeehan (26-5 at 220), and a fourth from Charlie Smorczewski (26-10 at 138).
Geneva's Brad Martens (31-4 at 120) won his second UEC title and the Vikings got a second from Jake Boser (182) and a fifth from Alex Kunkle (160).

The news report is utter nonsense. This story was published in a tabloid and then sent all over the internet as if it were gospel. George and Kenny are still very much together and are still getting married. I just wish people would check their facts.
They deserve each other!
It's obnoxious to think that there are not good journalist left.George is one of the best singers of this century and shouldn't be molested this way. What has happened with good journalism? What kind of people are these disgusting hounds?
I hate that they always write GAY George Michael. Cant they just write his name. What difference does it have make, gay , straight, bi. He a singer and a good one at that?

Being an average reader, i know and have experienced the feeling of total lack of interest when one looks at a large novel. But with "Jaal" i was gladly mistaken from the very first few chapters when i reached that state of mind where the novel became a phenomenon. I'd say you could read on for hours and never get bored. But my personal feelings aside, here's what i have to say about the nitty-gritties of the novel.
1) ITS COMPACT:--Sabgeeta Bahadur is a master of her craft. Her language is fantastic and her speed of narration is almost perfect. There are no unneeded or prolonged... (Expand)
the story is decent, but the book is way too long and as mentioned by someone in a review before, a drag at times.
good things
1. the story
bad things.
1. the language which i have to say is "bad english at times"
2. unnecessary metaphors where they are not needed.
the book could have been easily shortened down by around a 100-150 pages.
Though the pace of the book is good and the story comes up really well, I feel it is a little bit of a drag. The author could have easily cut down 100 pages.
Additionally, the style of writing for Vikruthi's character is distracting, as it becomes tough to comprehend (Between prose and poetry like writing).
I bought this book and was not expecting much.
Just wanted to see a good Indian fantasy book.
and i was not disappointed.
The characters are nice , loved 2-3 of them .
story is good enuf ...
would recommend this to others.

Minecraft features randomly generated worlds consisting entirely of blocks. Since your character's continued existence depends on crafting things with said blocks -- at least in the game's monster-filled survival mode -- it's important to know which types are worth gathering and which should stay put. What follows is a list of the various block types you'll encounter in your Minecraft travels and what you can do with them.
1. Dirt
Yes, dirt actually comes in blocks, not clumps or piles, so you don't need a backhoe or bulldozer to shape the world in Minecraft -- a shovel will do just fine. You can either transform the land by digging out dirt blocks or simply use the soil to plant things. You can also use blocks to create a makeshift shelter, but only if you're desperate -- dirt's neither durable nor particularly attractive.
Primary use: farming.
2. Wood
Wood is quite easy to come by in Minecraft, as the blocks will spring forth from trees once you've started bashing (with your fists) or chopping (with an axe). Wood is the most important building block early in the game, as you'll use it to create charcoal and planks. Charcoal is a fuel type and a key component in creating torches.
Planks are not only a favorite among punitive pirates, but they also make serviceable structures in Minecraft. Yet the most important use of planks is for making crafting tables. A crafting table is essential in Minecraft since it allows you to make advanced items like tools. Planks can also be converted into sticks for crafting torches, arrows, swords and bows.
Primary uses: building, crafting.
3. Stone
Another plentiful block type, stone is a versatile building block that can be used to create just about anything you can think of, from walls and roads to statues and fences. Stone blocks can also be used to make buttons and pressure plates for more elaborate (re: evil genius) designs.
Primary uses: building, crafting.
4. Sand
Sand is one of the few block types that actually follows the laws of gravity, making it difficult to use for building things. It does, however, have several other interesting functions in Minecraft. Sand is the principle ingredient used in creating glass for windows and TNT for blowing things to smithereens. You can also make a sturdier block type, sandstone, with four blocks of sand
Primary use: crafting.
5. Gravel
Another block type affected by gravity, gravel can be used for converting pools of water into land, sealing off caves, creating makeshift stairways, and for other building projects that don't require the strength or durability of stone. You can break gravel blocks to obtain flint, a key component in making arrows and for crafting the fire-starting flint and steel tool.
Primary use: building.
6. Clay
While clay looks similar to stone blocks, it has a smoother texture and often appears near bodies of water and sand. Clay by itself can be used for building, but it's more useful to break the blocks into clay pieces for making bricks.
Primary use: crafting.
7. Ice
Useful if you've always wanted to build your very own Fortress of Solitude. Just make sure you keep it away from fire or you'll be left with a Fortress of Slopitude.
Primary use: building.
8. Snow
Snow blocks can also be used to create forts, but a more comical use of the white blocks is for creating snowballs. Snowballs can only be thrown and don't cause any damage, but they can knock back creatures with a well-timed hit.
Primary use: recreation.
9. Cobblestone
Commonly found in Minecraft's underground dungeons, cobblestone is easily recognized by its surface, which looks like multiple stones stuck together. It otherwise has the same general uses as normal stone. One key difference is that cobblestone is needed to build furnaces, which gives you the power to smelt items to create new objects.
Primary uses: building, crafting.
10. Sandstone
Featuring the look of sand but the durability of stone, sandstone is a fantastic choice for building structures that look like something from Ancient Egypt. Pyramids, anyone?
Primary use: building.

My family lost our health insurance because of Obamacare. I just wrote a check for the policy we were forced to purchase for about $550 more than we were paying for better insurance last month. There is nothing we can do except work hard to find the money in our budget to comply with the law.
Taking $550 out of our monthly budget will have an impact beyond us. Salaries just don't go up $550 per month because Congress passed a new law. This money won't be spent at stores, restaurants and charities as it is now.
I believe $3.8 billion dollars per month is being extracted from families nationally. It's going to get worse. When we can't support local businesses, they are forced to make economic decisions. I believe this law will vacuum enough money from the economy to push many local companies over the edge.
There were better options. Tort reform was not part of this, those funds could be redirected to health care. Selling insurance across state would increase competition and lower costs. Removing excessive regulation from insurers and health care providers would help. Allowing expansion in Health Savings Accounts would also drive costs down.
I believe this law is a disaster for our country and I would hope people will support elected representatives who are committed to fixing this, no matter what party they belong to.
