Eight FAQs on market research.
- What are the key things I need to know?
- How long will my marketing research take?
- What research methods would be useful for me?
- Should I do my own research or get expert help in?
- How much will I have to spend?
- How can I find an outside agency with the approach and skills I need?
- How much can I trust the results as a basis for business decisions?
- How do I know when to stop researching and go for it?
1. What are the key things I need to know?
Market research should be carried out when you start your business, before launching a new product or service and whenever any unforeseen threat or opportunity arises. The process of SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) may be useful to help you focus your thinking. You need to know:
- Where are the market opportunities not filled by competitors?
- What might the demand be, at what price level, and is it subject to seasonal or cyclical variations?
- What benefits of your product or service need to be highlighted?
- Who forms your core target audience? And what is the potential?
- How can you reach and sell to these people or businesses most cost effectively (direct sales, advertising, trade shows, via the internet)?
- What are the problems in delivering your product (sourcing components, design, legislation)?
- Can you make a profit, and what are the implications for your business plan?
You need to know what your customers or potential customers do now, what they think and what they believe they want or need. But you cannot know until you have asked them - that is what primary research is all about. The information you are seeking will be about factors such as products or services, pricing, image and awareness, customer care, after-sales service and the competition in the market.
Two areas are vitally important.
- Are you offering precisely what your target customers want?
- Is your price right? (For most small firms, this means "Am I charging enough?")
You need up-to-date information about your market - size, trends and changes. The best sources are your trade association, the internet, the marketing advice sections in city central libraries and trade and business journals. This is known as secondary research.
2. How long will my marketing research take?
The time needed for primary research, where respondents are asked a series of questions, depends on the scale of the project (the sample size) and the method employed (doing it yourself or using an agency). As a guide, your minimum sample size should be at least 10% of your customer base, or 50 customers.
Many small businesses can achieve useful results in a week or two. If using a market research company, you must allow longer.
Secondary research information is often available immediately, free or at low cost, from the marketing advice section of a central library or from your trade association or local business support organisation's information service.
Generally, the more statistically accurate (quantitative) you want the research to be, the longer it will take to prepare and complete. While this type of research may be apt if a large investment decision is at stake, there are other decisions that benefit most from timeliness, rather than accuracy. There is almost always a role for 'quick and dirty' lighter touch research which provides more emotional (qualitative) clues about the next action you should take.
3. What research methods would be useful for me?
It is important not to consider research methods in the abstract. The various methods are like tools in a toolbox, each more suited to one task than another. They include desk research (much of which can be done, literally, from your desk, using the internet) and field research, which can include customer research (focus groups, street interviews and 'hall tests' of your products), product research and pricing studies.
The key to successful research is to first identify what it is that you need to know - what information will most helpfully move you forward. Then weigh up the prevailing circumstances - eg speed versus detail, or scientific accuracy versus more emotional feedback and so on. The parameters you establish here will help you choose the most suitable research method for your situation.
For secondary research information, approach the marketing advice section of the central library or your local business support service.
For primary research, where respondents need to be asked a series of questions, the choice is between face-to-face interviews, telephone contact or mail or email questionnaires.
Face-to-face: This is useful if you need to show something and get a reaction (eg samples, photographs, a prototype or alternative designs and colours). It is also appropriate if you are talking to people who are not already customers.
Telephone: Use the phone to interview established customers or if doing a business-to-business survey.
Mail or email: These should generally be avoided, as you will get very few replies. If there is no alternative, consider offering a worthwhile incentive.
4. Should I do my own research or get expert help in?
There are pros and cons to both approaches, depending on the circumstances.
DIY research
- DIY will give you a 'feel' for what people think.
- You could save money by doing it yourself.
- DIY research is time-consuming and could be a distraction.
- You will be inexperienced - even the design of a simple questionnaire can be more complex than it looks.
Tip: If you are asking questions try to obtain unbiased responses and avoid revealing your true connection with the subject business. "I have been tasked to carry out a survey looking at..."
Using an expert
- You should end up with a professional job.
- The project can be completed quickly and thoroughly.
- The task will not eat into your own time.
- You will benefit from 'tricks of the trade'.
- The cost - experts can be expensive.
- The challenge of vetting and appointing the right support.
5. How much will I have to spend?
DIY research costs time, not money. If you use an outside consultancy, expect to pay between £250 and £600 per day, depending on the size and prestige of the firm. If you are happy to retain control of the project and its design, consider using a telemarketing operation to do the legwork and get the cost down to around £250-£350 per day.
Penny-pinching could jeopardise the quality of the findings. If you end up with misleading answers, the whole exercise could prove very expensive indeed.
6. How can I find an outside agency with the approach and skills I need?
Ask friends, trusted business contacts or your local business support agency or trade association if they can recommend research agencies or consultants, or search online. Take sensible precautions and ask the right questions to make sure you find the best candidate before you go ahead. Check the following:
- Is the firm big enough to do the work but small enough to charge realistically?
- Does it have enough suitably qualified staff?
- Are they in tune with your particular needs?
- What is their reputation in your area of interest or industry?
- Are they specialised in any specific type of market research?
- What range of research techniques do they use?
- Can they supply you with case studies or previous success stories?
- How long have they been in business?
- Will you feel comfortable working with them?
- Have they made it clear what the charges will be?
- Does their approach make sense to you?
- Above all, do you feel that they value your business?
Of all these questions, the last is probably the most important.
Professional researchers usually belong to The Market Research Society (020 7490 4911). Before appointing an outsider, you will need to:
- Examine reports the person or agency has produced - if they are not confidential.
- Draw up a brief describing exactly what you need to find out. The woollier the brief, the less value you are likely to get.
- Find out what knowledge the researcher has of your sector.
- Draw up a timescale, with meetings and review dates.
- Decide whether you can work satisfactorily with the researcher or agency.
- Ask the daily rate and set a budget limit beyond which you will not go.
7. How much can I trust the results as a basis for business decisions?
The more information you have, the more specific it is to your situation and the more up-to-date it is, the more reliable it is likely to be. It is important to understand, though, that regardless of how professionally it is conducted, market research can never entirely take the risk out of business decision making. Remember that you are ultimately in the driving seat of your own business and from time to time you will make unsecured decisions. Market research will almost certainly provide you with additional information and food for thought.
Taking any market-related business decisions without research evidence is pure gambling. Even so, nothing in this area is absolute, and you still have to use your judgement and common sense.
The real challenge is how you interpret the results - and the big danger is refusing to quite believe the findings. Many small business managers fall into this trap and end up skewing the interpretation of the results to suit their own prejudices. If in doubt, extend the survey, or run another with a slightly modified questionnaire.
8. How do I know when to stop researching and go for it?
When you are reasonably certain you know what customers think and how they are likely to react, go ahead. As a final cross-check, ask yourself three questions.
Was your sample size adequate? The smaller the sample, the less reliable the conclusions will be. The smallest sample should be 10% of one year's customers - 20% would be better. In any case, you should have surveyed at least 50.
Are you sure your respondents were not led by the questions or the way they were asked? Check this by changing the wording and testing whether the revised questionnaire appears to produce different results. If it does, you must do the field work again, with different respondents.
Are you sure nothing has happened since the survey to radically alter the situation? If in doubt, re-test the survey questionnaire. If the results look like being substantially different, run the whole survey again.
There is much truth in the saying that 'over-analysis leads to paralysis'. Getting the timing of a new marketing strategy right can sometimes be more critical than being certain you are doing exactly the right thing. For example, a new line of Christmas goods must be in the shops in good time for the festive season. To delay while a detailed research programme was completed could mean missing the boat. Alternatively, a major investment in a new innovation would justify considerable pre-analysis.
Unfortunately, there is no neat rule to follow about when to stop the research and get on with the project. This is one of those areas where you must be prepared to back your own judgement and experience. Research is there to give you clues. Ultimately it is you who must make the decision to move forward.

Dozens of women have turned out in force to join a mass breastfeeding session in support of a new mum branded a "tramp" on Facebook.
Emily Slough, 27, stopped to feed her eight-month-old daughter Matilda during a shopping trip in Rugeley, Staffordshire, but was targeted by internet trolls after a passer-by photographed her as as she sat on a step.
They then posted the image online, with the word "tramp" next to it.
The picture was uploaded to the Spotted Rugeley Facebook page with the caption: "I know the sun is out an all that but there's no need to let your kid feast on you nipple in town! Tramp."
Outraged Emily had been shopping when she stopped on the steps of a restaurant for a bite to eat and to feed Matilda.
She organised today's public breastfeeding event as a show of defiance.
"The mentality of the individual who attempted to shame me for feeding my daughter makes me so angry," Emily told the Birmingham Mail.
"I am very confident and comfortable with my breast feeding.
"But I know plenty who aren't and don't even humour the idea of nursing because of some ridiculous stigma attached to it and fear of embarrassment, humiliation and non-acceptance."
Spotted Rugeley was shut down and then launched again over the weekend.
A post on the new site distanced itself from the 'tramp' picture and claimed to support mums breastfeeding in public.
Mumsnet website chief executive Justine Roberts said: "It's hard to understand why some people have a problem seeing mums breastfeeding. It is of course a natural, essential human process and those with an issue simply need to get over it.
The National Childbirth Trust said the 'tramp' comment was dreadful.

Grand Cherokee Selected Official Winter Vehicle of New England
This has been the winter to try men's souls to badly paraphrase a historical saying. It's been so tough that even the annual winter awards judging event for the New England Motor Press Association had to be postponed due to, well, winter, before the Grand Cherokee could be annointed.
You know it's a bad winter when a hardy group of automotive journalists gets cowed by the weather, especially when we're driving the very vehicles designed to laugh in the face of all that winter can throw our way here in New England. Fortunately it didn't stop us for long and we were able to gather for judging on a recent Saturday in Middleborough, Mass., a town probably best known for once being the home of General Tom Thumb.
Fittingly, some will accuse automotive journalists of being mental midgets, but in this case our collective brains made the right choice in the selection of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee as the Official Winter Vehicle of New England. You're not going to find a more complete package at an affordable price that can take anything winter throws its way, as well as the remaining three seasons.
I've waxed enthusiastic about the Jeep Grand Cherokee in the past. When it first came out, I summed it up as the American Range Rover in a review in the Boston Globe and it's a sentiment shared by a lot of other journalists. I've driven the Grand Cherokee in difficult conditions off-road, as well as the Range Rover, and it performs just as ably for tens of thousands of dollars less.
The Grand Cherokee has three new 4x4 systems as well as a terrain system with a choice of five settings (including snow, which has been more than put to the test this winter in New England). The Quadra-Lift air suspension system can raise the ride height to 10.7 inches or lower it to 6.6 inches. The Jeep Wrangler, a much less sophisticated vehicle with serious off-road chops, has a maximum ground clearance of 10.6 inches.
The driving pleasure is enhanced by an all-new 3.6-liter, Pentastar V-6 that produces 290 horsepower and 260 lb. ft. of torque while getting 22-mpg highway and 16-mpg city in four-wheel drive. Just to beat the Range Rover comparison to death, it gets 18-mpg highway and 12-mpg city from its only available engine, a 5.0-liter V8.
While this didn't play into the final judging decision, a factor in the Grand Cherokee's favor has to be price. Pricing has dropped across the board from 2010 to 2011 on comparable models in most cases by a few hundred dollars (always better than a price increase). The Laredo 4x2, the base model, costs $30,995 – a $495 drop from 2010. The most expensive Grand Cherokee is the Overland 4x4 trim level that costs $42,995. (A 2009 Overland 4x4 cost $45,625 – no 2010 model was made.) All prices include destination.
Here is the complete list of the other winners.

Orion - Journey To The Light
It's a strange thing. The loss of sight, I mean. One second I was there, clearing the island of beasts and buying gifts for the love of my life - Or so I believed, I thought I loved her. Then I realised how deceptive she was. Or maybe I was the problem. Maybe I just wanted someone to control. But I'm not going to blame myself for this. As the son of Poseidon, I've always believed I could do whatever I wanted to. That's what everyone else thought. It's funny really; people believe I can walk on water. Just because I'm the son of a God, doesn't mean I have the same abilities. In reality, I swim, just like any other ordinary person.
"I hear you like swimming?"
Kedalion's voice comes from above me. I'd almost forgotten he was there, apart from the occasional yell of directions and the constant weight upon my shoulders.
"I like swimming" I say, not really in the mood for a conversation. I realise I'm still bitter about being blinded by the King of the island where I used to live. The next few moments pass in silence, I'm aware that he's waiting for more of an explanation, but I'm not sure what to say.
"It's…peaceful. I like the clear blue colour of the ocean. And besides, My Father is the God of water, what did you expect? It's one of the things I'm going to miss-"
My head hits the cold, metal object before I notice that it's a lamppost. I'm suddenly angry. I should have seen it. I should be able to see. The roar of laughter irritates me further.
"You're supposed to tell me!"
"I was enjoying your story," he protests "Besides, self-pity gets you nowhere, better if you learn that lesson early."
I clench my fists. He was sent to guide me, not to act as a friend. Some people don't seem to understand the difference. Friends are there because they want to be, they could choose to walk out but prefer to stick by you. Kedalion, however, this…this wasn't a friendship, he was simply a convenience, sent to help, direct and remain as distant as possible.
"Are we there yet?" I ask, all too aware that I sound like an impatient child.
"Patience, patience," his tone is mocking. I ignore it.
I focus on imagining the land around me. The streets I'd walked down several times per day for the past several years. I realise that I should have memorised the place by now, but I still have no idea where I'm actually walking, but I'm guessing it isn't the town centre. It's quiet. Too quiet. Apart from Kedalion's heavy breathing, the only other sound that can be heard is the crunching of gravel beneath my feet; the rest is left to my imagination. I think of the gravel path that leads to the beach, one I have walked many times in the long summer days. I think of the feeling of sand under my feet. Striding deeper into the golden masses, slowly being consumed, toes, feet and ankles hidden by the tiny grains, each step getting closer to the sea. Glyfada and Piraeus, possibly my favourite places in the whole of Greece. Glyfada is a town, with the best beach I can ever remember going to, the place where I spent an infinite number of evenings watching the distant sun set across the horizon, the rays glimmering across the swaying depths of the water and creating the illusion of a million silver lights glistening in front of me. Piraeus is a port on the East coast of the Saronic Gulf, the place where I spent many days of my childhood learning the art of rafting and yacht building, each day seeming endless. I'm suddenly dismayed as I feel raindrops hit my shoulders, slowly at first, then faster. They keep coming, making my clothes get heavier as they become saturated with water. I do like water; don't get me wrong, that's the whole idea of swimming. Only I prefer choosing when I get wet.
"Kedalion," I grunt "How much longer?"
"Well, think about it. We're heading towards the God of Sunlight, and we're currently in the middle of a downpour."
"Do you have to be so sarcastic?" I retort.
"Do you have to be so pessimistic?" He mimics my tone, "I was trying to cheer you up, but since that didn't work then how about this – There's a rainbow in front of us, that's where the sun and rain meet. We'll be back in the sunlight soon enough, and once that happens then we're almost there"
"Really?" I reply, my tone hopeful. I'm imagining a spectrum of colours, like an oil spill, or the refraction of light passing through glass at a strange angle. It's a pretty sight; I just wish it could be a reality once more. I know memories of events can fade, but can memories of colour?
"Maybe, maybe not. It's up to you what you believe. In a way, that makes you lucky."
The spectrum of colours I was imagining suddenly fades to grey, the life disappearing, drawn out by some unseen force.
"Lucky? You call this lucky? Seeing darkness constantly. Always rubbing your eyes to see if you're actually awake. Constantly feeling around for a light switch that doesn't even exist. Hearing people speak, even the minor things that you didn't even like, rubbed in your face. I'd actually die of happiness if I saw a spider right now -" I pause as something tickles my shoulder. I yelp slightly as it moves. Crawling. Kedalion's immature giggling gives it away, for a second I was absolutely terrified.
"Big guy like you hunting beasts and swimming in the same oceans as sharks. And you're scared of spiders?"
"Lots of people are," I shrug, suddenly embarrassed. He erupts into laughter, his entire body shaking upon my shoulders. "You…" I pause, thinking of every expletive or offensive name that I can come up with.
"Go on, say it," he taunts, "Just remember that there are plenty more lampposts along here for you to walk into." I realise that he's right, the fight suddenly leaving me. I don't have the strength anymore; instead, I join in with his laughter.
"You know how many times I've walked down here?" He says after a while, his tone suddenly serious.
"Am I supposed to guess?"
"Nah, don't bother, we'd be here forever. I'll just tell you; once. This is my second time. Hephaestus doesn't take pity on many people. He's a God of fire; it's easier for him to destroy someone than to help them. And don't forget that your dad's the God of Water. Fire and Water are natural enemies. He liked you though, admired your courage. And apparently your optimism, which I believe I'm yet to see. Just letting you know you're one of the lucky ones, kid. You'd better believe it!"
Something changes. It's a subtle change. The darkness shifts and somehow becomes less threatening. At once, I notice that the rain had stopped some time ago. My clothes are almost dry. The ground changes too, it's softer. More like grass than the harsh crunching sound of gravel. It's louder as well, not deafening loudness but like daily chatter, the ringing of mobile phones and movements of everyday life, the rustling of sweet wrappers and the starting of car engines. My father wouldn't approve of it here, he'd say it's a far cry from the place he grew up and the things he was taught. It's like stepping into a different world, one that is ignited by energy and passion rather than being the dying embers of a flame.
"Any chance of a glass of water?" I ask Kedalion, who's become unusually silent.
"Speak about irony!" He exclaims "Besides, you owe me one… I led you here"
"Yeah… And I brought you here. Eleven hours of walking and carrying your weight while you sat being annoying and doing… well, hardly anything"
"Call it even then?"
"Deal," I agree "Now, how about that drink?"
"Later. You've got someone to meet first." He clears his throat, "Helios, good Sir, this is Orion, Son of Poseidon. We were sent here by Hephaestus."
Unsure of what to do, I hold my hand out. A handshake usually follows these types of formal introductions. He's standing closer than I assumed, and my hand strikes his chest. He's tall, I figure, before pulling my hand back and letting it hover mid-air while attempting an apologetic smile. I hear a quiet laughter as his hand takes mine.
"Yes. Orion, I have been expecting you, Hephaestus told me about your circumstances, quite unfortunate if I do say so myself."
"But Sir," Kedalion interrupts, "that's very negative. I've been trying to abolish pessimism the entire way here!"
"Very well then," The figure moves, but I'm unsure how. I wish I could see his face "Stay very still," he orders. I resist the urge to laugh, thinking it sounds like one of those ridiculous things teenagers say in movies before they kiss someone. He taps my shoulder with something; presumably a stick of some kind and it was barely noticeable.
It shocks me what follows. Pain. Torture. It's like an electric shock, the slight numbness, followed by the tingling sensation that seems to intensify as the seconds drag on. Shoulders, legs, feet, lower body, tingling and jerking uncontrollably. Upper body, arms, face, it seems to last forever. I sigh with relief as the pain changes to numbness in my limbs, instead centring round my eyes. I would describe it as a blinding pain, but now I know that being blind isn't painful, just annoying and infuriating. So I'll settle for 'burning pain'. I think I pass out, somehow falling to the floor. The shock of the scorching ground startles me. I was expecting cold and dampness, not to the point where I'm almost incinerated by the stones like a piece of meat being thrown into a fire. I leap up, dizziness takes over and I stagger forward. The sound of laughter makes me open my eyes. Open my eyes? I think. I rub my eyes and blink a few times, sure enough, the hazy images of Kedalion and Helios stand before me. For a while, I'm unable to do anything but stare and think about how different they looked to the characters I'd created – Finding out that Kedalion's only three feet tall with shoulder length blonde hair and green eyes, rather than the lazy guy with the rounded stomach and alcohol breath that I'd imagined was a large surprise. Helios was pretty much how I'd assumed, around seven feet tall, short brown curly hair, large build, tanned skin and the kind of majestic clothing that my father wore, full of rich reds and purples and the deep shades of blue associated with royalty. He holds a weapon too, a sword tucked in a tan coloured pouch around his waist, the silver tip glinting in the sunlight and making it seem even more deadly. He holds a shield across his chest as if seeking the protection of a gladiator before a fight to death in the arena. The object that he hit me with seemed nothing more than a twig, a walking stick that that would struggle to support the weight of the average household cat. It looks as though he tore it from the nearest tree when I arrived. I blink again. The light suddenly appearing too bright after a seemingly endless darkness, but still, I smile.
"Welcome back!" Kedalion grins, "Now, how about that drink?"
"I'd love to. Would you like to join us, Sir Helios? I can't explain how grateful I am."
He laughs, a gentle sound similar to that of a wise grandfather listening to the tales of the newer generation, soothing and supportive.
"I'd love to, but I have a land and people to protect. 'Tis my duty, my friend!" He smiles. "Besides, you wouldn't want hindrance from an old man like me. Alas, I must leave now, But I bid you farewell and safety on all of your travels."
I watch as his figure fades into the distance, watch as he reaches the crowds of people who part for him, watch as he eventually disappears from sight.
I turn to Kedalion
"Protect them from what?" I whisper as he shrugs his shoulders.
"Not sure. But I guess it's time to head back, it will be sunset soon… Any chance of a lift up?" His green eyes are pleading, I sigh and lift him back onto my shoulders "Thanks, it's a rather long way home." He says with a mischievous grin, similar to that of a daring child. We finally stop for a drink, and I feel like rejoicing at the cool sensation of liquid flowing down my throat giving me a sudden burst of energy. We walk in the opposite direction to the crowds, and hear the faint voice of Helios addressing the people
"Good people, followers, friends and guests, we are gathered here today…" Either he starts to speak more quietly, or my hearing is deteriorating. I'm unsure which, but instead I focus on the stone gates ahead of us. A part of me wants to stay; another part of me can't wait to leave. The gate is the border and it's taller than it seemed with grey stones on each side that are slightly blackened with dirt or old age. A series of cast iron bars stand between the posts, clearly looked after as no rust can be seen. The word 'farewell' has been etched into the stone. Kedalion is suddenly restless, moving around upon my shoulder as if he's looking for something, he abruptly pauses
"Wait… wait! I've got to take a photo" He exclaims, holding up an object that looks like a mobile phone. That surprises me.
"You have a phone?" I respond in a disbelieving tone.
"Of course. Everybody does, don't they? Now… do you have any idea how to work this thing?"
I stifle a giggle, realising that he's as clueless as I am. I figure he just wants to fit into the modern day society, and become a part of some tourist attraction, although I know perfectly well that one can cope without endless amount of new technology. I step through the gate, looking back at the sight I missed when I entered the kingdom and the sign above the gate saying 'Welcome to Sunrise'.
"Goodbye Sunrise," I mutter as I turn away "and thank you," I add as I step onto the trail of dirt leading back to normality. I stifle a yawn. I don't mention that I'm tired, or that each step is weary and slow. I don't complain, I just walk. After all, what does the son of a God have to complain about?

Our crates of kiln dried logs are incredible value for money. By stacking the kiln dried logs tightly into these crates it is possible to get 50% more wood than the same volume as loose or bulk bagged loads. Our full crates come stacked with Ash, Birch, or Oak or if this is too much for you, our half crate of kiln dried ash is a perfect starter quantity.
Why do people buy crates? The kiln dried log crate has become a symbol of quality fuel in the UK. Many people do not want to pay for the extra cost involved in bagging kiln dried logs, and by buying crates, customers can avoid that cost. However, if you have any doubt about the suitability of the surface we are delivering your kiln dried logs to, please order nets, as these can be passed off the truck to the customer if necessary. A kiln dried log crate needs a flat surface with no incline for safe delivery of your kiln dried logs.

Suspect surrenders after standoff with Tampa Police
TAMPA, Fla. (970 WFLA) – Tampa Police say a suspect surrendered after a standoff with officers late Tuesday.
Police say they were called to the University Oakwood Apartments on the 1200 block of East 113th Avenue when residents called 911 saying they heard shots fired.
When officers arrived, police said an armed suspect fired at one of the officers. He was not injured.
The officers then chased the suspect on foot, the suspect disappeared into an apartment, and then after negotiating for two and half hours, the suspect surrendered, according to a Tampa Police spokesperson.
Two other men, two women and a 3-year-old boy also came out of the apartment, police said, who were not held against their will, but chose to stay in the apartment until the suspect surrendered., police said.
The investigation is ongoing and charges are pending, police said.

It has been suggested that T3/N0-1/M0 non-small cell lung cancer should be classified as stage IIB rather than IIIA. This is the result of a widespread perception that the survival of patients with T3/N0-1 lung cancers greatly exceeds that of patients with stage IIIA (N2) lung cancers. This perception is based primarily on the survival of T3/N0-1 patients who have chest wall involvement. However, the T3 classification also includes tumors that involve mediastinal structures, the main stem bronchus <2 cm from the carina, and the brachial plexus as seen in Pancoast tumors. Survival for each of these T3 categories is examined in this articles and found to be somewhat different. The available data show that patients with T3/N0-1 tumors involving the chest wall have a good prognosis after resection, whereas patients with central T3/N0-1 tumors (mediastinal or main stem bronchial involvement) have a prognosis similar to that of patients with resected IIIA (N2) tumors. If a new classification of T3/N0-1 tumors as stage IIB is to be adopted, it will be important for future studies to document which type of T3 tumor is being discussed.

Mills & Reeve is to launch a Leeds real estate practice with the hire of partner Simon Sherwood from DAC Beachcroft.
Philip Way, head of Mills & Reeve's Leeds office, said the move is a step towards making the firm full service in the North and comes after it established insurance teams in both Leeds and Manchester.
Way would not be drawn on further hires, but said Sherwood's complement of real estate property skills and exposure to landed estates in the health and education sectors reflected the firm's "very ambitious" growth plans for key sectors in Leeds and Manchester.
Sherwood also brings asset management experience, having acted for a number of major institutional investors with substantial portfolios, as well as advising investors and developers across the primary care sector.
The £69m-turnover firm launched in the two cities in 2007 after taking Addleshaw Goddard's entire practice, led by David Salter, Way and Nigel Shepherd (19 November 2007).
Keith Hamilton, head of real estate at Mills & Reeve, said: "Simon has a strong track record in real estate investment, which is one of our core sectors, and we look forward to strengthening our expertise even further when he joins the Mills & Reeve team.
"His appointment will further develop our strong client offering in the North of England and demonstrates the firm's resolute commitment to its 2015 commercial vision in which real estate investment plays a major role.
"Simon's experience will provide invaluable support to our private wealth, agricultural and healthcare sectors and a number of our other practice areas."

Soccer Sweeper
(abb. "SW"). A fast & tough player who usually plays just behind the fullbacks, although he is allowed to roam. His job is to cover the space between the fullbacks & the goalkeeper & to stop "breakaways" & "sweep up" the ball or kick long "through balls" out of bounds so the defense has time to recover. Using a sweeper increases your "depth" & field coverage and therefore allows your fullbacks to push up to support your attack. A Sweeper is like a free safety in American football. A good sweeper must be fast & willing to make contact to steal the ball. A Sweeper can be like a coach on the field and can help direct adjustments, since he is usually the deepest field player and in a good position to view the game. The trend with pro teams is to not use a Sweeper but instead to use a "flatback four", which is 4 Fullbacks playing a zone defense and using a lot of "offside traps". A Sweeper was originally used to back up man-to-man defenses. However, using a Sweeper can also be used with a "Zone Defense" (i.e., "Spatial Defense"). A great Sweeper who has speed and great coverage skills can allow your Fullbacks to push up to support your attack, even if they aren't fast, because he will slow down the attack and give your Fullbacks time to recover. However, if you don't have a great Sweeper, a better alternative for most recreational teams is to use a 3-2-2-3 formation where the FB's stay deep, as described in "Formations". (See "Push Up", "Formations", "Through Ball", "Breakaway", "Second Sweeper", "Support", "Cover", "Defending Deep" & "Zone Defense").

Different from inside and outside
Poem by: Trupti Soman
Status: Finished
Genre: True Confessions
Peaceful from outside
I am struggling to find peace inside
I am smiling, beaming
My heart screams out from within
I am the perfect girl
But my inner self is as imperfect as it can be
I have many friends
I am lonely from inside
I hide my tears when I am with people
But no one hears my blood curling screams of anguish when I am in my room
I am so different from outside and inside
Will I ever become one again?

Add Your Comments:
Chutti, that was a wonderful theme. Most teenagers do feel that way--including me, once. The element of doubt will play a major role in toppling up one person...
I really like this poem and I've a few suggestions, though I myself is not that good of a poet.
Peaceful I appear outside
but I struggle to find it within
I'm smiling; beaming outwardly; (whenever you use synonyms, in a chain, trying to strenthen any point, use semi-colons. For instance like "She say him acutely; focussedly; as if devouring him." Though commas will do fine, semi-colons, I heard from someone were more professional to use)
My inner self is imperfect.
but no one can hear my cry of anguish when I'm in my room.
My worlds, outer and inner, differ,
will they unite again?
Well, as you know, you DON'T have to change anything... Just a suggestion.
The tone of the poem is well maintained, Chutti. Hats off.
The title is, in my opinion, not so fitting. But it is ok. I myself am not good with titles...
A really good writ. See! You got up again! You felt that you fell, but you made it again!
(you know I always am honest) Really wonderful writ...
Keep writing dear.
Take care :)
In my above comment, it must be "she saw him...", in the quoted example. NOT 'say' him... You may delete this...
Wow... even though i'm a boy, I can totally relate to this poem. People expect so much from me, they think I'm perfect, that I can do anything, but in the inside, I'm broken, and I just wish for someone to see that and understand me. Amazing!

Marching Band News
Halftime Shows
LSU Tiger Band Director Fired
Roy King Out, Interim Director Named
April 20, 2016
By College Marching Staff
LSU officials terminated Roy King, LSU's Band Director, Tuesday. He received a letter from the school telling him of the termination after a four month investigation into him. LSU officials met with members of the band to announce the decision.
LSU spokesperson Ernie Ballard released this statement:
Today's meeting with Tiger Band members was to announce that Dr. Dennis Llinas, the associate director of bands, will serve as our interim Tiger Band director. The Tiger Band is one of LSU's most treasured and respected institutions. Our priority is that it continues to thrive and prosper, and that the experience is as great for the students who play in it as it is for the band's many fans. We can confirm that Mr. King is no longer employed by LSU. We have provided Mr. King with a letter outlining our reasons based on an investigation related to adherence of policies, procedures and financial safeguards meant to protect Tiger Band and LSU.
As this is a personnel matter, we can not provide further comment."
The school's investigation concluded that King wrongfully gave out scholarships to members of the Golden Girls and Color Guard. It is believed that this has been going on for many years, however, many have questioned whether these actions were negatively impacting the school or band program. The money that was used for scholarships is believed to be money from the athletics appropriation to the band not money from the School of Music.
Earlier this week, LSU President F. King Alexander released the following statement:
"Tiger Band is a treasure to our University, and we have an obligation to protect it and honor its traditions. The situation you referenced is a personnel matter, and a review is underway," Alexander wrote in related questions and complaints about King. "However, I would like to dispel the persistent rumors about budget changes and alterations in scholarship awards. That just is not true. We would have preferred to handle this case privately, but as significant accusations toward the university were made in the press, I felt it important to respond to the concerned friends who wrote to me."
King was put on paid administrative leave on April 6th.
Last year the band's annual concert Tigerama was almost canceled due to budgetary concerns. Sources also told us that in-fighting within the School of Music and the Tiger Band have been going on for years. Funding for the band actually comes from Athletics not the School of Music which makes all of this even more interesting.
When the story first broke back in early April, we spoke with multiple alumni about the news and they were split on their opinions of the decision to put King on leave. Two alumni we spoke with said this move didn't come as a surprise and that they believe the band has fallen far from where it used to be in relation to other SEC bands. Another told us that in the past few years he has seen a continual decline in the quality of halftime show performances and believes that the lack of creativity comes from the top. On the flip side multiple alumni voiced their support for King and on twitter the hashtag #FreeRoy had been passed around.
Last season the LSU Band almost gave up three of their halftime shows to play with musical acts at their games. While it excited members and students at the school, one of the alums we spoke with called it "a desperate grab for attention from a sinking ship". Only one of those acts actually happened as the band performed with Three Doors Down late in the season.
The band was praised nationally this past season for it's efforts to support the Carolina Band out of the University of South Carolina when the USC band couldn't make the trip to Baton Rouge after the football game between the two schools was rescheduled to be played at LSU as a result of flooding throughout South Carolina. The Tiger Band learned the USC fight song and the Alma Mater for that game.
King was the Director of the Tiger Band for five years and has been part of the program for 18. He is also an alumnus of LSU and marched in the band as a student.

Seimone Augustus and J.J. Redick, college basketball
Seimone Augustus and J.J. Redick were among the most prolific scorers in college basketball in 2005.
Augustus, who averaged 20.1 points a game, led LSU to a 33-3 record, including 14-0 in the Southeastern Conference, and a second consecutive Final Four appearance. She won the Naismith, John R. Wooden and Associated Press player of the year awards as the nation's top female player, in her junior season. She averaged 14.2 points a game and helped the USA capture the gold medal at the World University Games in August.
Duke guard Redick led the Blue Devils to a 27-6 record and a Sweet 16 appearance in the NCAA tournament, averaging 21.6 points a game and shooting 93.8% from the free throw line.
A 2005 first-team Associated Press All-American, Redick again proved to be among the nation's top three-point threats, averaging 3.7 game and shooting 40.3% from beyond the arc for the season.
Redick was selected the Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year and ACC tournament MVP and received the Adolph Rupp national player of the year award.
Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, Vince Young, college football
The Heisman Trophy competition was a three-horse race this year. University of Texas quarterback Vince Young and two University of Southern California teammates, running back Reggie Bush and quarterback Matt Leinart, were so far ahead of the field that the Heisman Trophy Trust didn't invite a fourth nominee to the ceremony.
The players led their respective teams to a combined 24-0 record in 2005 (Young would stop Bush and Leinart's streak in spectacular fashion for the national championship at the Rose Bowl on Jan. 4 of this year).
All three are expected to be drafted in the top five of April's NFL draft, with Young and Bush forgoing their senior seasons for a crack at the pros.
Leinart, who came back for his senior campaign after winning last year's Heisman, moved to second on USC's all-time passing list. This year's award, though, went to Bush.
Kerron Clement, track/hurdles
At the NCAA indoor track and field championships in March 2005, Kerron Clement shattered Michael Johnson's 10-year-old indoor world record in the 400-meter sprint. Clement, a native of Trinidad, ran a 44.57 in the event for the University of Florida, breaking Johnson's time of 44.63 seconds.
Clement, 20, and his family emigrated to the USA in 1998 and currently lives in La Porte, Texas.
As a sophomore in 2005, Clement won 23 events (including relays) and captured the NCAA outdoor championship in the 400 hurdles and the indoor championship in the 400 meters and the 400 relays. Clement won six All-America honors, and his 47.24 time in the 400 hurdles was the seventh-fastest recorded for the event.
He was named the U.S. Track Coaches Association indoor track athlete of the year.
Steven Lopez, taekwondo
The phrase "it's in the blood" certainly rings true for the Lopez family. Steven and siblings Mark and Diana are world-class athletes in taekwondo. Brother Jean is their coach.
Steven won a gold medal and two world championships as a featherweight. After moving up to welterweight in 2004, Lopez didn't slow down one bit, winning a gold medal in the Athens Olympics. In 2005 he won his third consecutive world championship.
Lopez, 27, won six matches in a row, two of them in sudden death.
Mark and Diana followed in his footsteps by capturing their respective featherweight championships.
Chellsie Memmel, gymnastics
After narrowly missing out on a trip to Athens for the 2004 Olympics, U.S. gymnast Chellsie Memmel, 17, came back strong in 2005.
The Wisconsin native won the gold medal in the all-around competition at the World Championships in Melbourne, Australia, and added two silver medals in individual events.
Though only a senior in high school, 2005 was Memmel's seventh year with the U.S. national team.
In October, she led the Americans to the women's team championship at the Pan American Championships in Brazil, winning the first of her two 2005 all-around gold medals.
Bode Miller, snow skiing
Skier Bode Miller spent 2005 raking in medals. In the World Cup finals he won the silver in downhill, the gold in the super-G and then clinched the overall title with a silver in the giant slalom.
Miller became the first American to win the World Cup season title since 1983.
Miller, 28, continued his dominance in the World Championships. He earned gold medals in the downhill and super-G, making him the first American male to ever win the downhill at Worlds.
Miller and teammate Daron Rahlves' 1-2 finish in the downhill will be remembered as one of the greatest accomplishments in American skiing.
Laura Wilkinson, diving
Entering her 10th year on the U.S. national team, diver Laura Wilkinson finished 2005 with a splash by winning the platform gold at the World Championships.
Wilkinson, 28, earned the victory with 564.87 points, just six months after wrist surgery. She told the Associated Press that just coming back from the surgery was a "huge accomplishment" for her.
In 2004 Wilkinson was the World Cup platform gold medalist.
She has won 13 U.S. national diving championships and was named the USA Diving athlete of the year in 2004.
Wilkinson first gained national prominence in the 2000 Olympics, when she won gold as a heavy underdog to the Chinese.

This ruling concerns a product that resulting from the contributions of two people who were formerly friends. A patent application was filed that named both people as both inventors and applicants. Later, after powers-of-attorney signed by each of the named inventor – applicants had been filed, there was an attempt to 'correct an office error', to list one of them as an inventor only. The corresponding PCT application and the national phase entry applications, including two issued patents in the United States only bore the name of one inventor and applicant. In an Opposition ruling the Israel Patent Office has now accepted that the second named inventor is indeed an inventor and also an owner.
Apart from emphasizing the need to determine who is the inventor and who is the owner of an invention when the patent is filed, the need to put everything into writing, and the dangers of working with friends, the case raises interesting questions regarding what contribution to reducing a patent to practice entitles someone to recognition as an inventor and whether this standard is the same in all jurisdictions. It also raises interesting questions regarding the duties and responsibilities of the patent attorney to ascertain the facts, or at least to avoid signing on contradictory statements regarding ownership and invention in different jurisdictions.
IL 152867 titled "Tissue Container With Auxiliary Compartment"is a patent application for a package of wet-wipes
with an adjacent container for nappy cream. The Application was filed back in November 2002 and listed Boaz Krystal and Liat De-Vries as inventors and owners. The patent application was allowed at the end of June 2010.
Subsequently, an Opposition was filed by WET-NAPS LTD and Liat De-Vries on 4 October 2010 under Section 31(3) of the Israel Patent Law 1967 on the grounds that Boaz Krystal was not in fact an owner, and that the patent was exclusively owned by Ms Liat De-Vries.
Mr Boaz Krystal and his wife Mrs Dorit Krystal each submitted affidavits. Mrs Liat De-Vries submitted a primary affidavit and a supplementary one in response to Mr Boaz Krystal's affidavit. Wet-Naps Ltd. is owned by Mr Ilan De-Vries, who is Mrs Liat De-Vries' husband. He also submitted an affidavit on behalf of the company. Mr David De-Vries, a patent attorney at Reinhold Cohn & Partners who drafted and filed the application and is a cousin of Mr Ilan De-Vries, Ms Ronit Tal who is an acquaintance of Liat De-Vries and Mr Yoram Hadar who is an industrial designer, also submitted affidavits. A hearing was held and the parties submitted their summaries.
Wet-Nap Ltd manufactures, exports and markets wet-wipes. The company had a business relationship with Packtop Ltd., a company directed by Mr Boaz Krystal that distributes wet-wipes amongst other things. At the time of filing, both the Krystals and the De-Vries couple were good friends.
There is no argument that Mr Boaz Krystal and Mrs Liat De-Vries met at the Wet-Nap Ltd factory, where Mr Boaz Krystal heard the idea of including baby ointment together with a package of wet-wipes from Mrs Liat De-Vries. There is also no argument that Mr Boaz Krystal and Mrs Liat De-Vries had some kind of collaboration, to develop and improve this invention and to file a patent application for it. Eventually a joint application was filed in both Mr Boaz Krystal and Mrs Liat De-Vries names. However, the parties disagree regarding Mr Krystal's contribution to the development of the invention and consequently disagree regarding whether he is to be considered an inventor and owner of the patent.
The Main Documents in the Prosecution File Wrapper
The Application was filed in November 2002 by Reinhold Cohn Patent Attorneys. The Application form lists both Mr Boaz Krystal and Mrs Liat De-Vries as joint owners due to them being inventions. Both parties filed Powers of Attorney, and the Filing Certificate gives both names.
On 10 December 2002, Adv. David De-Vries of Reinhold Cohn Patent Attorneys submitted a notice stating:
"Due to an office error, the name of the inventor, Mr Boaz Krystal was inserted as an Applicant. With our apologies for this, we are submitting a new cover sheet and application form in duplicate, listing Mr Boaz Krystal and Mrs Liat De-Vries as joint inventors, but Mrs Liat De-Vries as the sole owner."
On 10 December 2002, Adv. Edna Haruti, now Mr Krystal's representative, submitted a letter in which it was stated that Mr Krystal was a joint owner together with Mrs Liat De-Vries as he had invented the tissue container with auxiliary compartment together with her. Adv. Edna Haruti also noted that registration of the patent in the name of Mrs Liat De-Vries only was contrary to the agreement between the parties.
On 2 February 2003 Patent Attorney Shimon Shalit, then Senior Examiner in charge of formalities at the Israel Patent Office, responded to both Reinhold Cohn and to Mr Krystal that Mr Krystal could not be removed as an owner in the application as filed, since there was no indication that he had assigned his invention to Mrs Liat De-Vries prior to the application being filed. In absence of such proof, since Mr Krystal was not an employee of Mrs De-Vries, by virtue of being a co-inventor, he was also a co-owner.
(As an aside – On 12 March 2006 Mrs De-Vries submitted a divisional application of IL 152867 for certain applications of the invention. This divisional application (IL 174309) was examined, allowed and issued as a patent. On 1 December 2010 IL 174309 lapsed due to failure to pay the renewal fees. That patent is not directly relevant to this Opposition, but Wet-Naps Ltd and Liat De-Vries related to it in their claims).
In the protocol of a hearing held on 5 February 2007 before then Deputy Commissioner Noah Smulevezh it was decided to defer the issue of ownership until the examination of the application was completed. It was further ruled that Reinhold Cohn would be address of record, but would update Mr Krystal or his representative regarding actions taken to get his input before responding to office actions. The patent application was eventually allowed and published for opposition purposes, resulting in this opposition proceeding.
The Opposers' (Wet-Naps Ltd and Mrs Liat De-Vries) Main Claims
Mrs De-Vries and Wet-Naps Ltd claimed to have thought of the idea and developed the invention whereas Mr Krystal had merely provided technical drawings and a business plan for commercializing the product. They alleged that during the period in question, Mr Krystal provided technical and consultancy services to the company as almost an in-house service provider and as such, was exposed to the invention. They further claimed that Mr Yoram Hadar (industrial designer) and Patent Attorney David De-Vries provided sketches for the product that eventually evolved into the patent application. They further alleged that Mr Krystal had suggested a specific implementation (embodiment?) – storing the cream in a blister pack or sachets, which developed into Read the rest of this entry »

Cutting... Again.
Sigh. It's weird to say, but this bus actually does get boring sometimes. I wonder what I'll do with my life.
Alex deserted me, I know that. Where is he now? Is he still running? Or is he in a life or death battle with some kind of master vampire? Knowing him, it's probably the latter.
Without even thinking it, I take out the little razor again. Well, I can't really say it's a razor, it's actually the little metal bit from inside a pencil sharpener. I draw it across my arm, I sharpened it myself so I barely have to apply any pressure at all to draw blood. After about a minute, the wound is completely healed.
I cut my arm again a few times, watching as it heals each time. A gasp alerted me to the fact that someone on the bus was watching me. I smiled sheepishly and put the razor back in my pocket.
I think I'll get off at the next stop, maybe head to the nearest airport. I fancy a trip to Australia. this bus will probably end there at some point anyway, but it's quicker to fly. And I don't want anyone on this bus calling some kind of scientist on me - too many people know what I am.
