MOSTAR, Bosnia-Herzegovina - Intense pressure by the United States and Europe has salvaged Mostar's joint Muslim and Croat government, overcoming a rift that had threatened next month's national election.
Tuesday's agreement resolves - at least for now - the dispute surrounding Mostar's local elections, a fight that illustrates the deep distrust remaining between Muslims and Croats.
International mediators had said that if results of the June election were not recognized, there would be little hope for national elections Sept. 14.
Croats and Muslims were allies against Serbs during most of the Bosnian war, but also fought each other before forming a federation in 1994 under U.S. pressure. Nowhere was the fighting more intense than Mostar, where shattered buildings and deep suspicions remain.
Mostar is divided in half by a river. During the war, Croats moved to the western side and Muslims to the east. The European Union has administered Mostar since 1994 in an effort to reunite the city.
In the city council elections, Croats narrowly lost to a Muslim-led coalition. They refused to take their seats on the council, claiming voting irregularities.
The European Union threatened to pull out if a deal was not reached. Sir Martin Garrod, the EU negotiator, said Tuesday's agreement makes it possible for the EU to stay.
"We can go forward working toward making Mostar the city we would all wish it to be," he said.
But it took prolonged pressure to force the deal and, in the Balkans, such agreements often dissolve as soon as the pressure abates.
Under the deal, Muslims agreed that a constitutional court - to be set up by the Muslim-Croat federation - would rule on the validity of the elections. The Croats agreed not to insist that the court rule before the council meets, according to Mijo Brajkovic, mayor of Croat-ruled western Mostar.
The accord stipulates that the court will issue its ruling within 60 days after an initial city council session appoints a mayor and a deputy. Brajkovic said the first council session would be around Aug. 15.
Croatian President Franjo Tudjman met President Clinton in Washington on Friday, then dispatched senior aides to pressure the Bosnian Croats to drop their objections. Tudjman's foreign ministry praised Tuesday's agreement, calling it a good omen for the Bosnia-wide elections.
In another diplomatic move Wednesday, Tudjman met with Serbian counterpart Slobodan Milosevic in Greece - a rare encounter aimed at normalizing relations between the two most powerful republics of former Yugoslavia.
Meanwhile, NATO officials were trying to determine whether a Bosnian Serb cache of more than 2,000 tons of ammunition was hidden illegally.
It was the biggest find of military equipment since the April deadline for registering all military stores with NATO. All unregistered military equipment can be confiscated and destroyed.

Siberia mine blast toll rises to 60: report
May 12, 2010 by Post Team
Siberia mine blast toll rises to 60: report:MOSCOW: The death toll following twin gas blasts in Russia"s biggest underground coal mine has risen to 60, an official said Wednesday, amid fading hopes for the 30 still trapped underground.
"Rescue workers have found eight other bodies today. The death toll has risen to 60," a spokesman for the emergency situations ministry said.
"Thirty others are still missing," he added.
The two blasts at the Raspadskaya pit on Saturday trapped dozens of miners and rescue workers.
The mine has more than 400 kilometres (250 miles) of tunnels, a bigger network than the entire Moscow metro, according to Vladimir Goryachkin, the deputy general director of Raspadskaya"s owner.
Raspadskaya has commercial links with Chelsea Football Club"s billionaire chief Roman Abramovich.
Deadly mine accidents are relatively common in Russia because of ageing infrastructure, violations of ventilation safety requirements and tampering with gas-level monitoring equipment.
Russia has been blighted in the past few years by fatal incidents at key facilities, most notably a flood at Russia"s largest hydroelectric plant in August that killed 75 people.

What have you made?We have built several radio controlled cars using Bluetooth Smart that are able to play laser tag against each other.
What gave you the initial inspiration?This project was a bacelor thesis given by Nordic Semiconductor, and the task at hand was making a toy that could be controlled by using the Physical Web and Bluetooth Smart. The toy could be anything, and after careful consideration we chose to make a toy that would be fun and easy to use. We therefore chose to create a laser tag game which every member of the group was a big fan of.
What is the original idea behind this project?We wanted to make a fun game to demonstrate the capabilities of the Physical Web and Bluetooth Smart technologies.
How does it work?Step one: The car advertises an Eddystone URL
Step two: Through this URL the user gets directed to a web page where they can connect to the car and play a laser tag game with others. Singleplayer mode is also available.
Step three: The game starts, and in a multiplayer game each player has a set of lives that they lose if they are hit. By driving over various RFID tags they can get random power ups such as rapid fire, speed boost, extra lives and a temporary shield.
How long did it take to make it real?We started to plan the project in january, setting up a detailed time table. In february we started to order parts and work on the project itself. The cars drove in late february and alle the functions were implemented in late april.
How did you build it?The cars are built on a 4WD chassis kit consisting of two acrylic plates, four DC motors and wheels. The nRF52 Development Kit was the basis of our project and what we built everything around. We used Motor Shield v2.3 from Adafruit to drive the motors, and NFC/RFID shield from Adafruit to be able to detect nearby RFID tags and thereby realize the power up functionality. For the infrared signals we used infrared emitters and receivers as ready soldered modules on small PCBs with header pins to connect +V, GND and Signal. We also included RGB LEDs and a piezo speaker to give visual and audible feedback to the user. Lastly we added a laser diode as an aiming device for the infrared emitter.
The nRF52 Development Kit used in this project can be interchanged with the new Arduino Primo, this opens for utilizing the vast vault of code examples ammased in the Arduino community. Moreover, the Physical Web RC Car Game was presented in May 2016 at Maker Faire Bay Area using the new Arduino Primo board.

By Jane Wardell, AP Business Writer
LONDON Even as consumers face soaring energy costs, rising food prices and higher mortgages or rent, it seems clear they're not prepared to forgo many of life's little treats — alcohol, cigarette and candy makers are all reporting healthy sales amid the gloom.
"I would never give it up, not unless I was dying of alcohol poisoning or something," said Kelly Piggeln, a 62-year-old retired nanny, as she indulged in her favorite two vices of a cigarette and a glass of wine on the patio of a London bar.
Piggeln's stance is being echoed by cash-strapped consumers around the world, a trend that is reflected in strong financial reports this season from some of the biggest so-called "sin stocks" even as banks and many retailers report sliding income.
Sin stocks, ranging from gambling to liquor, are usually a safe bet in hard times. While shares in some of those companies have fallen along with stock exchanges this year, lots are still seeing strong revenues and sales.
"It's inelastic demand as far as many of these stocks are concerned," said Hargreaves Lansdown analyst Keith Bowman, using the economists' term for consumption that is not deterred by higher prices. "So far there's signs that they are holding up, although there's still concern that these industries will see some impact."
Among the winners, though: Anheuser-Busch (BUD), the biggest brewer in the United States, turned a profit in the most recent quarter despite fears that rising costs for raw materials like glass, barley and wheat and fuel would cut into The King Of Beers' bottom line.
The company is so confident that consumers won't abandon beer that it plans to increase prices for popular brands like Budweiser and Bud Light to stay ahead of the higher costs.
Similarly, Denmark's Carlsberg reported a 36% rise in second-quarter net profit, saying stronger sales, particularly in eastern Europe and Asia, helped offset rising costs.
In Milwaukee, Katie Brozovich — a teacher who also works three part-time jobs — said she makes choices in her spending, such as not having her hair and nails professionally done, so she can keep drinking the pricier craft brews she prefers.
"I'd rather spend $4 or $5 on quality beer than $3 on hopped up water," said the 46-year-old, who was sipping on a craft beer from nearby Michigan. "It's worth the extra buck or two to get quality."
Diageo, the world's largest producer and distributor of spirits, dubs many of its brands — including Johnnie Walker whiskey, Smirnoff vodka, Captain Morgan rum and Guinness stout — "affordable luxuries" that people are loath to give up, even in an economic downturn.
London-based Diageo expects its Scotch whiskey business to continue to grow at least 8% to 9% annually, from growing demand in Asia and Latin America.
Those emerging markets, particularly the developing economic powerhouses of China and India, are playing a key part in the buoyancy of such companies, boosting demand for alcohol and cigarettes, which are increasingly used as status symbols denoting success and wealth.
But much of the demand is also still coming from the United States and Europe, which have been hardest hit by the credit squeeze, with price rises not dissuading many consumers in those regions — Constellation Brands (STZ), the world's largest wine company by volume, posted a 35% rise in branded wine sales in North America in the first quarter.
Sam McQueen, a 29-year-old teacher taking a lunch break outside Starbucks in Camden in north London, said she and her boyfriend had recently revised their spending strategy — and stop buying prepackaged foods at the supermarket to free up money for the treat fund.
"We're going to stop buying silly things like that as opposed to giving up going out for a drink," she said.
And while people can't smoke at the bar because of spreading smoking bans, tobacco companies are doing just fine.
Philip Morris International (PM) said its earnings rose 23% in the second quarter and it raised its earnings forecast for this year, saying it had not been affected by inflationary pressures like other consumer products companies.
"Cigarettes in general can withstand such an environment better than many consumer products," Chief Financial Officer Hermann Waldemer said at the time.
British American Tobacco (BTI) posted a 15% rise in its first-half profits with help from higher prices and increased sales of premium brands. Sales of BAT's most expensive brands, such as Dunhill and Lucky Strike, grew 7%.
"While not immune from the consequences of an economic slowdown, we can certainly look to the future with more confidence than most," Chairman Jan du Plessis said when announcing the results.
Imperial Tobacco Group (ITY), which recently acquired rival Altadis, says it remains on track for a successful year. Altria Group (MO), the owner of tobacco company Philip Morris USA, saw second-quarter profits slide because it spun off its international unit. But earnings from its continuing operations rose, and the maker of Marlboros reaffirmed its outlook for this year.
Not all the vices have profited. There are signs that gambling stocks and the pornography industry are not immune to an economic downturn. Moody's (MCO) has downgraded the debt of nearly 20 gaming companies and four U.S. casinos have filed for bankruptcy this year. The pornography industry, which is mostly privately owned, is also struggling due to slowing DVD sales.
But drinking and smoking aren't the only ways consumers are comforting themselves in tougher economic conditions.
Cadbury (CBY), the world's biggest confectionery company, reported a 7.3% rise in first-half sales in its first results since spinning off its U.S. drinks business. Among the big sellers in its candy store was Dairy Milk chocolate, rising 9%.
In the United States, the Hershey (HSY) reported dramatically higher second-quarter sales and profit and reaffirmed its 2008 guidance of sales growth of 3% to 4%.
"The odd bar of chocolate is not going to break the bank," said Louise Hill, 33, a London office worker. "I always have a piece a day and I can't see that changing."

Here's a story to warm your heart. John's retired neighbor Mary needed help keeping her electric bills under control, so he helped her go solar. Read the story in his own words. Thanks for Generating Positive, John!
"Our neighbor Mary lives in a small house bordering our produce field. She's retired, and lives modestly on a fixed income. Like many of us, she's watched as utility costs have gone up year by year. A few years ago, we replaced her drafty single-pane windows. Last summer, we blew in insulation to make her attic and walls more weather-tight. And in the last few months we've insulated her basement ceiling to warm up her floors in winter.
All these efforts have had amazing results. Her daily electric usage has fallen a long way – by 20 percent in the last year alone. And her heating oil usage has come down by about one-third. But despite all these efforts at efficiency, electric costs just keep going up. Over the past decade, average electric charges in this country went up about 4% per year. With almost all its customers affected by back-to-back hurricanes Irene and Sandy, our local New Jersey utility – JCP&L – has repeatedly been granted rate hikes. Mary now pays 18.4 cents for every kilowatt-hour she uses.
But all that's about to change. Just a few days ago, a work crew from Sungevity, a solar power developer, arrived to install solar panels on Mary's south-facing roof. The system will provide 94 percent of Mary's electric needs. She'll be left with a monthly electric bill of about $4.00. So she can relax about ongoing spikes in utility rates…"

Shiva literally translates to that which is not. The entire galaxy is just a tiny ant in the mighty universe. The rest of it is vast emptiness that is known as Shiva. Shiva is 'shakti' or power, Shiva is the destroyer, the most powerful god of the Hindu pantheon and one of the godheads in the Hindu Trinity. Known by many names – Mahadeva, Mahayogi, Pashupati, Nataraja, Bhairava, Vishwanath, Bhava, Bhole Nath – Lord Shiva is perhaps the most complex of Hindu deities. Hindus recognize this by putting his shrine in the temple separate from those of other deities. Mantras and Slokas of Lord Shiva are extremely powerful and are believed to bring good health, prosperity and well-being.
Collection of Shiva Mantras & Slokas
Collection of Shiva Mantra
Chanting of Shiva slokas and Mantras is a centuries old technique for attaining inner peace and bliss.The Mantras address to Tryambaka, "the three-eyed one", an epithet of Rudra who was later identified with Shiva.

Natalie Portman, who is expecting her first child with fiance Benjamin Millepied this summer, hasn't let pregnancy slow her down.
The Oscar-winning Black Swan star and fellow actress Zoe Saldana are launching a new video public service announcement campaign for FINCA International's global effort supporting women who are working to create a better future for their families.
Portman and Saldana are encouraging support for Lend A Hand (www.lendahand.finca.org), an online community managed by FINCA. Donations through Lend A Hand allow FINCA to provide small loans to borrowers, mostly women.
"I'm so proud to serve with FINCA in helping impoverished women become self-sustaining," says mom-to-be Portman in a statement.
Adds Saldana, "There are so many women in the world who are less fortunate, and struggling to provide for their families."
As the organization's Ambassador of Hope, Portman has been involved with FINCA for nearly a decade. Her participation has led her to visit many countries.
Inspired by Portman's commitment to FINCA's work, Saldana joined the Lend A Hand campaign after seeing the destruction resulting from the Haiti earthquake in 2010.

Answers: How Does Toxoplasmosis Affect Cats?
Last Updated on Saturday, January 16, 2016 09:24 PM
Published on Saturday, August 10, 2013 12:08 PM
Written by Guillermo Díaz, MV
My cat occasionally eats mice she catches outdoors, so I worry that she might be exposed to
. I know about the dangers to humans from toxoplasmosis, but is it dangerous to my cat too? Would I even be able to tell if she got it?
Wild and domestic felines are the only definitive hosts for the toxoplasmosis parasite. Both phases of toxoplasma gondii, sexual and asexual, occur in cats and that's the reason why felines are the main reservoir of the disease. The rest of the non-feline, warm blooded animals are known as intermediate hosts. Toxoplasma gondii is present all over the world. Cats can get toxoplasmosis when they ingest infective cysts. This can happen from eating raw infested meat or wild prey such as mice or birds. Many cat owners are concerned that their felines will get toxoplasmosis through store-bought meat, but that is very unlikely to happen because of all the sanitary and veterinary inspections that cattle and other meat animals undergo pre and post slaughter.
The infection in cats generally is asymptomatic and goes unnoticed by owners. However, when disease does occur, it may develop when the cat's immune response is not adequate to stop the spread of
forms. The disease is more likely to occur in cats with suppressed immune systems, including young kittens and cats with
, the feline leukemia virus or FIV, the feline immunodeficiency virus. The most common symptoms of toxoplasmosis infection are fever, loss of appetite and lethargy. Other symptoms may occur depending on whether the infection is acute or chronic, and where the parasite is found in the body. In the lungs, toxoplasma infection can cause pneumonia, which will cause respiratory distress.
Cats that do get toxoplasmosis develop immunity for life. This means that they will never get and develop toxoplasma infection again in their lives. Many people are scared when their kitty renders a positive result when tested. There is one thing I have to stress, this does not mean that your cat is sick. It only means that she had toxoplasmosis at one point in her life or this simply shows the maternal antibodies passed from the queen into her kittens.
In humans, becoming infected with toxoplasma gondii is only considered dangerous if infection happens during pregnancy. It depends on the immune system of the mother and the stage of the fetus when infection occurs. During the first trimester, the likelihood for the embryo to develop neurological toxoplasmosis is higher than if infected at the end of the pregnancy. In cats, a queen infected with toxoplasma gondii during pregnancy will generally have abortion of the litter or the kittens will be stillborn.
The diagnosis of toxoplasmosis in cats may be established by the same
tests used in people: polymerase chain reaction, called
demonstration of the parasite and/or its antigens, i.e. immunoperoxidase stain; or isolation of the organism. The most used of these tests are the measurement of antibodies in blood.
The end result is that, as in humans, infection with toxoplasma gondii will likely cause no symptoms at all in your cat. If your cat tests positive for toxoplasma gondii, you should not be overly concerned about catching it from your cat. There are two ways by which people can get toxoplasmosis, direct and indirect:
For this to happen it is necessary that several events occur at the same time:
The cat needs to be recently infected. The cat will begin to shed
between 3 to 10 days after ingestion of infected meat, and continue to shed oocysts for 10 to 14 days. It is rare for a cat to ever shed oocysts after this period, as an immune response develops.
The cat litter tray is not cleaned on a daily basis. The parasite on the feces must be in
phase. This takes 1 to 5 days from the time the feces is eliminated.
The person must ingest these sporulating forms. This means the ingestion of fecal material. This may be rude, but it's true.
Ingestion of undercooked meat or ingestion of vegetables not properly cleaned.
The indirect method of infection is by far the most common. Getting it directly from your cat is actually rather difficult and requires some questionable hygiene practices on the part of the human. Having said all that, we can conclude that there is no reason at all to get rid of your beloved kitty if she is infected, even if you're pregnant or will be. Keeping healthy hygiene habits such as cleaning the cat litter on a daily basis and washing hands thoroughly is enough to prevent direct infection.

Most of the armada observing Brent Chapman has been courteous. But when Chapman recently moved 100 yards to the west side of this standing timber section, another boater drove right next to where Chapman had left a marker buoy, punched a GPS waypoint, then sped off. That was followed by another boater who trolled over to the marker buoy and started fishing.
Chapman moved back near the buoy, and the fisherman promptly pulled up his trolling motor and left.
"Come on fish, wake up," Chapman said as he continued to work a variety of lures with just one small fish in the boat.
"(Mark) Zona is fixing to leave," Chapman said. "As soon as he leaves they'll start biting."
Dennis Tietje idled up to Chapman's boat to pick up Zona. "Take him very far away," Chapman told Tietje, the former Elite Series angler who took a medical leave of absence this season while recovering from back surgery.
Now that Zona is gone, we'll see if Chapman's luck changes. The weather conditions — breezy and overcast — remain perfect for bass fishing.

Is it possible to get a flat stomach again after a c-section without the surgery?

Flat tummy after C-section without surgery
However you should have an evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon to advise you. In some patients with very little skin laxity only around the belly button and no muscle stretching, nonsurgical treatments can produce 20-25% of the amount of tightening of a tummy tuck.

Flat stomach after C-section
Tummy tuck
A tummy tuck can be done as a solitary procedure. Many times the results are enhanced by adding liposuction to the hip and love handle area. A tummy tuck is also done in combination with a breast augmentation in a mommy makeover.
Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and member of the Aesthetic Society using the Smart Beauty Guide. These Plastic Surgeons can guide you on all aspects of facial surgery, breast augmentation and body procedures including tummy tucks or mommy makeovers!
Is it possible to get a flat stomach again after a c-section without the surgery?
For most patients who have had pregnancies and/or weight loss a full abdominoplasty is necessary to achieve the desired results. The tummy tuck operation serves to re approximate muscles that may have spread with pregnancy and/or weight gain/loss, remove "excess" skin/adipose tissue (often overhanging C-section scars) and further contour the abdominal wall, with tools such as liposuction surgery.
Generally speaking, the "ideal" patient for tummy tuck surgery is one who has completed pregnancies, is psycho socially/emotionally/financially stable, has an excellent social support system surrounding him/her, is capable of arranging enough recovery time, does not smoke and who has reached a long-term stable weight.
Of course, there are downsides (including a longer scar and probably a longer recovery time) but for most patients the benefits outweigh the downsides.
You will also hear/read about mini tummy tuck surgery. In my opinion/experience, the mini tummy tuck is an operation that produces very limited results and is very rarely indicated. It involves a shorter incision but does not address the majority of the abdominal wall issues present for most patients who present consultation. For example, the area of skin excised is quite small. The abdominal wall musculature is addressed below the umbilicus leaving the upper number wall potentially lax. The appearance of the umbilicus is not necessarily addressed sufficiently.
Again, for the vast majority of patients who have had pregnancies and/or weight loss a full abdominoplasty is necessary to achieve the desired results. When the time is right, seek consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience helping patients achieve the types of outcomes you would be pleased with. You may find the attached link/video, dedicated to tummy tuck surgery concerns, helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.

The latest word is Alexander's Steakhouse will open on Monday, 9/13, subject to the usual caveats. Staff started practice plating and mock service yesterday, as shown in this youtube video.
"This video was shot on our first day where the cooks are trying to get the food down. Still, missing items, too big, too small, too dry, not fresh enough, timing is off, not seasoned, etc... As Chefs, it is our job to correct and give feedback to bring the food to our standards. It is the toughest part."
Eric Entrikin, MS, will be running the drinks and wine program, assisted by Johnny Slamon who was most recently sommelier at the Fifth Floor. Look for Certified Angus Beef Prime on the menu. Less than 1.5% of all beef makes this grade,

Music is all around us—in the wind, the rain, and the weird sounds that children make. Listen to something that's actually been rehearsed with this GrouponLive deal.
The Deal
- $31 for one G-Pass to see Brian Wilson & Jeff Beck (up to a $62.50 value)
- When: Sunday, October 13, at 8 p.m.
- Where: Tower Theatre
- Seating: back half of orchestra or lower balcony
- Door time: 7 p.m.
- Ticket values include all fees.
- Click here to view the seating chart.
How G-Pass Works: Your G-Pass will be ready to print 48 hours after the deal ends. Print the G-Pass and use it to enter the venue directly; you won't need to redeem at will call. Due to security restrictions, G-Passes cannot be redeemed through the Groupon mobile app.
Brian Wilson & Jeff Beck
- A few of Brian Wilson's accolades: he wrote or co-wrote more than two dozen top 40 hits as a co-founder of the Beach Boys, has been awarded multiple Grammys, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and made goats look cool on the cover of Pet Sounds
- A few of Jeff Beck's accolades: he played guitar with The Yardbirds, has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, and is ranked fifth on Rolling Stone's list of "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time"
- What their concert combines: Brian Wilson, Jeff Beck, Al Jardine, and David Marks opening the show together with both of their respective bands performing a string of Brian Wilson hits, including several classic car songs.
- This seems historic: it is, because these bona fide geniuses rarely share the stage, and the tour is only one month long
- How the two partnered up: Beck honored Wilson at the MusiCares Person of the Year tribute by playing "Surf's Up" in 2006 and sparks flew, leading to Beck appearing on Wilson's upcoming solo album.
- What Brian Wilson will be offering: "some new tunes we want to try out on a live crowd as well as...some great music from our catalogues."
- What Jeff Beck will be offering: "classic surfing safari music and this weird stuff that I do," adding that "it will sound like it's all of one accord."
- Who else will appear on stage: former Beach Boys bandmates Al Jardine and David Marks
Tower Theatre
Several decades of disparate architectural styles stand at the corner of 69th and Ludlow: an old-fashioned radio tower atop the Doric columns of a faux-classical cupola atop a streamlined marquee that broadcasts the year the Tower Theatre opened as a music venue: 1972. That's when it began helping introduce the world to such acts as David Bowie, Genesis, and Bruce Springsteen. Inside, red lights glow over an auditorium done up in the 1920s style of the movie palace that originally filled the venue, with marble pillars, Italianate archways, and an enormous light fixture that resembles an old film reel.

1/24/2017–BALTIMORE–Prior to Inauguration Day, Maryland Wing, Civil Air Patrol communications staff visited Warfield Air National Guard Base in Middle River, Md., and saw the new joint Maryland Civil Air Patrol and Maryland Air National Guard operations trailer.
Lt. Col. Mike Starr and Maj. Marty Brown toured the new mobile incident command post which the ANG has outfitted with a large variety of equipment to allow for remote operations. Some equipment includes a generator, tables, chairs, equipment racks, antenna masts. Radios will be installed and a joint training session will be held sometime in the spring.
"The Maryland Wing Civil Air Patrol is incredibly grateful for the total force partnership with the Maryland Air National Guard and the joint effort to add to our capabilities a mobile incident command post," said Col. Joe Winter, Maryland Wing commander. "This new addition will afford us access to state-of-the-art technology while deploying to nearly any location for extended periods of time providing robust emergency services response and capabilities of the Air Force Auxiliary alongside the emergency managers of the Maryland Air National Guard."
While at the site, Starr and Brown also toured the ANG mobile communications units used for the inauguration. ANG wings from Washington, Maine, Tennessee, Florida, Kentucky, DC, and Illinois joined Maryland in this exercise as they prepared for the upcoming mission. Electronic interconnectivity between units allows for video feeds from unit to unit, and the ability to display DC street cameras so decision makers have a situational awareness.
On the day of CAP's visit, the ANG units were performing practice communications setup in preparation for the mobile units to be dispersed throughout the Washington, D.C., area for Inauguration Day. Satellite dishes were set up in the hangars while UHF and VHF antennas masts, communications racks, and satellite uplink and downlinks were tested for interconnectivity.
Lt. Col. Mike Starr, Maryland Wing's assistant communications director, noted, "It was amazing watching portable satellite dishes automatically deploy and point to the satellite."
In the spirit of community, the Louisiana ANG provided authentic Cajun cuisine for lunch.
Civil Air Patrol, the longtime all-volunteer U.S. Air Force auxiliary, is the newest member of the Air Force's Total Force, which consists of regular Air Force, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, along with Air Force retired military and civilian employees. CAP, in its Total Force role, operates a fleet of 550 aircraft and performs about 90 percent of continental U.S. inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and is credited by the AFRCC with saving an average of 78 lives annually. Civil Air Patrol's 56,000 members nationwide also perform homeland security, disaster relief and drug interdiction missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. Its members additionally play a leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to more than 24,000 young people currently participating in the CAP cadet program. Performing missions for America for the past 75 years, CAP received the Congressional Gold Medal in 2014 in honor of the heroic efforts of its World War II veterans. CAP also participates in Wreaths Across America, an initiative to remember, honor and teach about the sacrifices of U.S. military veterans. Visit www.capvolunteernow.com for more information.

What is the common name of this bird? What two species are you likely to confuse it with and what are two identifying characteristics that allow you to distinguish it from these two similar species? Thank you to Ana for this week's question!
Thank you to Franco, Khai, and Jens for your correct answers. This is the African Pygmy Kingfisher. The dark blue crown of the adult separates it from the African Dwarf Kingfisher. The smaller size and violet wash on the ear coverts distinguish it from the similar Malachite Kingfisher.
Please give the full common name for the species pictured below, along with three characteristics that helped you in your identification. Where would you be most likely to site this bird if you went looking for it this week?
Thank you to Colleen, Mary, Ana, Lucas, Madi, Franco, Lanette, Megan, and Jens for submitting correct responses to this week's question. The species pictured is the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher and would most likely be spotted this week on its breeding range in the south-central United States. Though this species tends to "wander widely" during migration and may be seen just about anywhere in North America during this time.
Shown below is a common bird egg found in North Carolina. Which species does it belong to? There is a special chemical compound that produces the color in the shell of this egg, what is the compound called, when (where in the female's repro. tract) is it added to the egg's shell, and what substance (bodily fluid) is this compound derived from in birds? Thank you to Madi for this week's question!
Thank you to Khai, Franco, Colleen, Kathryn, Mary, Kristen, and Lanette for your correct responses! Pictured is the egg of an American Robin. The chemical compound that produces the bright blue color is called biliverdin and is added in the oviduct when the last layer of calcium is added to the egg. Biliverdin is derived from hemoglobin (heme oxygenase) in birds.
For another chance to help out our new friend, the Director of the Gregg Museum of Art and Design, we are providing you with an additional fan identification question this week. From the Director:
"We have come across another mystery bird fan! We only know what was included on the collector's file card, which dates back to the 1920s, i.e., that the fan was collected by Hector von Bayer in Pará, Brazil (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Par%C3%A1) in 1912. Once again, the purchase-point does not necessarily indicate the origin (that last bird was likely from east Africa). Perhaps the other feathers included in the "arrangement" may help narrow it down? This bird is much smaller than last week's Lilac-Breasted Roller. At first glance (without my reading glasses) I thought it was a hummingbird, but once I put my glasses on I realized that what I had mistaken for a long beak was only a dark feather. Hector von Bayer was another colleague of collector Emma Smith's ichthyologist husband, Hugh McCormick Smith. I was amused to see blueprints for a South Dakota fish hatchery he designed referred to as "two-dimensional art" (see http://tinyurl.com/jj5n6qb ). Those were the days!"
The pictures provided below are for the front and back of the fan. As the Director informed us, "[t]he poor bird itself is the wee little thing in the middle. Weird Victorian-era idea of lovely decor, I guess…" The additional ornamental feathers on the front and back of the fan may or may not come from the specimen we are trying to identify.
Please provide you guess for the full name of the species, along with three identifying characteristics that helped you in your determination. Photos to aid in your description are also welcome but do not take the place of your three identifying characteristics. Good luck!
Thank you to Mary for providing a well thought out guess for this mystery fan puzzle! We'll keep you updated with the best guess.
A few months back Dr. Simons received another interesting public inquiry. (Warning: the pics are a tad gruesome).
"… I was climbing out in my 6-seat twin engine Cessna northwest out of the Anson County (Wadesboro), NC airport when I struck a bird at about 3,200 feet above ground level. I've attached pictures and it looks to me like it was an American Oystercatcher. I have sent a feather to the Smithsonian for positive ID but have not heard back. In my little bit of research on the bird, I found the following quote: 'During migration, as in the rest of the year, oystercatchers stay strictly within the coastal zone. Although banding records have shown that some oystercatchers cross the Florida peninsula during migration, oystercatchers do not use interior sites during migration.' By my estimate, I was at least 125 miles from the nearest coast. A search of the FAA wildlife strike database shows only 22 collisions with Oystercatchers in the last 25 years (out of about 135,000 total birdstrikes). None of these produced any damage. Mine would be the first. Since my experience was a little unusual, I though[t] I'd alert an expert and a little Google research led me to you. I have no interest in this other than simple curiosity but if you have any comments, I would love to hear them."
Assess the pictures provided by the pilot and then decide whether it is strange or not that he would have experienced the collision with the species in the photo under the circumstances experienced by the pilot. Please provide your answer (strange or not strange) and a brief justification for your answer.
Thank you Kathryn for your correct response! Based on the webbed feet, structure and placement of the legs, and plumage, this bird is not an oystercatcher as the pilot suggests. It is instead a loon (either Common Loon or Red-throated Loon). It would not be unusual for the pilot to have encountered a loon under the circumstances he did, nor would it have been unusual for the bird to have caused so much damage to the plane's wing. We are glad the pilot survived to tell the tail. A more detailed explanation can be found by scrolling down on this blog post.
Dr. Simons received the following inquiry from the Director of the Gregg Museum of Art and Design:
"The Gregg Museum recently received a donation of a hand fan collected in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1906, made from a taxidermied bird (see attached photos). We've been trying to identify the bird, but with no luck so far, so I am wondering if you could possibly help with this, or might be able to direct us to someone who could. We do not know if the original living bird itself was from Brazil, only that the fan was purchased there. It once belonged to the wife of Hugh McCormick Smith (see http://people.wku.edu/charles.smith/chronob/SMIT1865.htm and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_McCormick_Smith ). The tag still attached to the fan says 'E.A. Tulian,' who was a fellow ichthyologist working in Argentina in 1906 (see http://tinyurl.com/joc6anf ). He probably knew that Emma Smith collected fans as a hobby (we now have 400 donated by her descendants) and bought it for her when his ship made a stopover in Rio on the way there or back. Anyway, can you possibly help us find out a little more about the bird it was made from? For the sake of the environment, I am hoping it was not made from a now-extinct species, although for our i.d. purposes it doesn't matter."
Help identify the species in the fan. Provide your guess for the full common name of the species and a brief explanation, including at least three identifying feature, to support your guess.
Thank you to Megan and Jens for your guesses! So far the museum director is thinking that it might be an altered Lilac-breasted Roller, but we will keep you updated if we learn of any new opinions.
The bird pictured below resembles a species from the Trochilidae family. What are the true order and family of the bird in the picture and which two family groups in that order are likely to be the species' closest relatives? Thank you to Ana for providing this week's question!
Thank you to Jens, Khai, Colleen, Kathryn, and April for your correct answers over Spring Break! This is the "San Pedrito" (Todus mexicanus) also known as the Puerto Rican Tody. While the scientific name may lead one to believe it's from Mexico, it is actually endemic to Puerto Rico. Individuals of this species bear resemblance to hummingbirds in that they are able to lower their metabolism and temperature to conserve energy, though they are not related. "San Pedrito" belongs to the family Todidae. Mitochondrial and nuclear gene studies indicate they are closely related to motmots (Momotidae) and kingfishers (Alcedinidae) within the order Coraciiformes.
What is the common name and family of the species pictured below? What is its preferred method of travel and what is one possible explanation for its current IUCN categorization? Thank you to Madi for providing this week's question!
Thank you to Megan, Ana, Jens, Khai, Lina, and Mary for your correct answers! This is the Kakapo, native to New Zealand. It belongs to the family Psittacidae and Subfamily Strigopidae. This bird treks miles a day on foot rather than flying. While this species evolved on an island devoid of many mammals, this type of locomotion makes it vulnerable to introduced predators, such as feral and domestic cats.
What is the full species name for the 2-3 week old chick pictured below? In addition to the physical characteristics of the chick, there is a possible hint for species identification provided in the photo. Please identify this hint along with the implications for the conservation of the species pictured.
This is a Roseate Tern (Sterna dougallii) chick from Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge. This endangered seabird typically nests in mixed colonies of Common and Roseate Terns on islands off the north Atlantic coast of the United States and Nova Scotia. In order to encourage new nesting pairs and maintain established pairs, managers place nest boxes(shown in the photo), play Roseate Tern call recordings, and deploy Roseate Tern decoys to historical Roseate Tern nest sites. More information regarding these management strategies in Roseate Tern population conservation can be found here.
The picture below belongs to an unusual animal that evolved to fill an ecological niche normally occupied by birds. What is the Family of birds, and why did they never colonize this habitat? Thank you to Khai for this week's question!
Thank you to April and Jens for their detailed responses! The family of birds is Picidae (the Woodpeckers). This family of birds does not inhabit the islands of Madagascar, Australia, and New Zealand. It is possible that they were never able to colonize Madagascar because the island has been geographically isolated since the Late Jurassic. There was only a narrow window (20 million years or so) during which the currents flowed toward the island, and at its narrowest point, the Mozambique Channel is more than 250 miles across, allowing ancestral Lemurs to colonize, but not any of their ecological competition. Additionally, it appears that woodpeckers are primarily a Laurasian species and are not considered strong dispersers. Should their ancestors have attempted to disperse to Madagascar in more recent geologic history they would likely have found themselves outcompeted by the already present species.
Name the family of the bird responsible for this.
Thank you to Madi, Lanette, Ana, Khai, Lina, Colleen, Emily, Franco, Mary, and Lucas for their correct answers. This is a mouse impaled by a San Clemente Loggerhead Shrike, from the family Laniidae (also known as "butcher birds". While these are of the order Passeriformes and lack talons, they do have a thick notched bill, helpful in handling prey items. While this strategy may allow shrikes to take advantage of prey items larger than they would be able to otherwise, research has also suggested that this behavior is useful in advertising territory and in mate selection. This behavior is also characteristic of the butcherbirds of the family Artamidae from Australia.
To which avian family do the eggs in the picture belong?
Thank you to Khai, Colleen, Megan, Jens, Mary, and Lanette for providing correct answers to last week's question. The eggs in this photo come from the floating nest of an African Jacana, in the family Jacanidae.
Alright, I have a tough one for you! Give the common and scientific names of the two species pictured below. Hint: they're not going to be on your bird list.
Left: Alpine Thrush (Zoothera mollissima sensu stricto).
Right: Himalayan Forest Thrush (Zoothera salimalii, sp. nov.).
Thank you, Ana, Lucas, and Khai for providing complete, correct responses. I love how engaged a lot of you were in trying to find the correct answer!
There are 3 parts to this question: 1) What is the name of the avian species in this photo and 2) what is the "just so story" often used to describe the relationship between the species captured in this photo? 3) Scientific evidence provides a very different story—what is it?
Thank you to Khai, Frankie, Franco, Colleen, Jens, Mary, Lanette, and Kristen for your correct responses this week. The bird pictured is the Yellow-billed Oxpecker (Buphagus africanus). The typical "just-so-story" is that oxpeckers have a mutualistic relationship with their ungulate hosts (like the African buffalo pictured) by reducing the numbers of insect parasites and removing infected tissue for clean wound healing. In addition to food the oxpecker gets protection through the proximity to the larger mammals. Scientific evidence for the above claims is disputed. It could be that oxpeckers are ectoparasites that use the ungulates as a food source, often opening wounds or keeping old wounds open in order to maintain a supply of blood and tissue to eat. Even the removal of ticks (which is not significant; see Weeks P. 2000. Red-billed Oxpeckers: vampires or tickbirds? Behavioral Ecology 11(2): 154-160) is not very helpful to the host as oxpeckers prefer ticks that filled their stomachs with blood. However, other studies claim that the oxpeckers prefer hosts with higher counts of ticks and ignore the hide thickness (which would be important for foraging ungulate tissue), making them mutualistic symbionts after all (Nunn CL, Ezenwa VO, Arnold C, Koenig WD. 2011. MUTUALISM OR PARASITISM? USING A PHYLOGENETIC APPROACH TO CHARACTERIZE THE OXPECKER-UNGULATE RELATIONSHIP. Evolution 65(5): 1297–1304). Thank you to Jens for providing this well-written response!
Note: I was lenient this week and gave full credit this week even if you just gave me "oxpecker" as the species name for the bird in the picture, because the species pictured was different from that in the Weeks P. 2000 article. In the future I will not be so generous, so remember: FULL species name please.
Provide the name missing in this image to the once diverse group of extinct birds. Also name the anatomical characteristic that distinguishes this group of birds from others. Thanks to Jens for providing the question!
Thank you to Khai and Megan for submitting correct answers! The group in question is Enantiornithes which has a shoulder bone (coracoid and scapula) articulation opposite that of other bird groups. Additionally, the fusion of the tarsometatarsus has been shown to be opposite that of living birds, fusing proximally to distally instead of the reverse. This highly diverse clade was perhaps more ecologically disparate than the lineage the would give rise to modern birds, but to the best of our knowledge, none survived the Cretaceous-Paleogene Mass Extinction that also killed off all non-avian dinosaurs as well as many other species (thank you, Khai, for this additional description).
This large scavenger was once extirpated from its native habitat, due in large part to _________. While this and other human factors continue to effect the population, a collaborative reintroduction program now sees individuals of this species nesting in cliffs in parts of the southwestern United States and Mexico.
Please name the species, as well as the factor most closely associated with its population decline.
Thank you to April, Khai, Franco, Megan, Jens, Madi, Mary 0., and Lanette for submitting correct answers! The species is the California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus) and the factor I was looking for that partially lead to its extirpation (and still continues to be a threat to reintroduced populations) is lead poisoning, though there are many other factors that have contributed to the species' instability. The state of California has recently enacted legislation to limit the use of lead ammunition
in an effort to reduce the amount of lead ingested by wild condors.

Impacts of eutrophication on saltmarsh vegetation in Ireland and consequences for ecological assessment under the Water Framework Directive.
The School of Natural Sciences, Trinity College Dublin, invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position, funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Research Programme 2014-2020. The position is for a period of 18 months and will commence on 1st March 2016. The project is being undertaken by an academia-industry partnership of Trinity College Dublin and Botanical, Environmental and Conservation (BEC) Consultants.
The position comprises work as part of a team on the SAMFHIRES project (Saltmarsh Function and Human Impacts in Relation to Ecological Status). This project seeks to link anthropogenic pressures to changes in saltmarsh communities and investigate the ecosystems services and ecological functions of saltmarshes in Ireland. Areas of investigation include the impacts of grazing livestock and eutrophication on vegetation communities, biodiversity and net primary productivity. By integrating the outputs of this research, SAMFHIRES will refine the tool developed by the recent SMAATIE project (Saltmarsh Angiosperm Assessment Tool for Ireland – see http://erc.epa.ie/safer/iso19115/displayISO19115.jsp?isoID=3055) for the purposes of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) in coastal and transitional waters.
The successful applicant will be based within the Botany Department at Trinity College and supervised by Professor Steve Waldren. They will also have access to the facilities (including laboratories) of Trinity's Centre for the Environment. Resources available at the offices of BEC Consultants, based in Dublin close to Trinity College, will also be made available. The BEC team is co-ordinated by Dr Philip Perrin.
Closing date for applications: 12 Noon on 22nd January 2016

Value/Variety/Convenience -- Which Do Consumers Want Most?
Nielsen research helps bring clarity to channel choice.
By Todd Hale, senior vice president of Consumer & Shopper Insights for Nielsen Consumer Panel Services
Consumers have redefined and redesigned the retail landscape. It is a new frontier, and success will come to manufacturers and retailers who define themselves by who they sell to and how they sell to them -- not by what they sell. Consumers want it all -- value, variety and convenience. Retailer segmentation schemes that include all-outlet shopping dynamics are critical in today's retail environment where more and more formats are competing for the same shopper and shopping dollars. The winners will be those retailers who open up those schemes to the added insights that their manufacturer partners bring to them in understanding how their shoppers buy categories and brands.
Format Frenzy
Today, non-grocery retailers are leveraging the power of food and beverage categories to drive store traffic, build larger baskets and drive shopper loyalty. Grocery retailers have been looking to new store formats, on-site gas pumps, Rx departments, and increased assortment and merchandising support from health & beauty and non-food categories in a similar manner. Opportunities abound, but knowing what strategies to deploy is a matter of how well you understand consumer shopping preferences and how adept you are at appealing to them.
A multi-channel shopper segmentation scheme is detailed in the latest issue of Nielsen's Consumer Insight online newsletter and illustrates how different sets of consumers look at value, variety and convenience in establishing shopping patterns.

4.5 stars 10 totalReview John Nixon
Posted by Rodney
In my opinion, Mr. Nixon is the best lawyer in Rutherford County. I was facing 2 felony charges that would have put me away for quite some time. But with the knowledge, confidence, and know how, Mr. Nixon had it brought down to 1 misdemeanor and one retirement. If you are looking for one of the best lawyers out there who will care about your case, I highly recommend him. Thank you again, Mr.Nixon.
Posted by Jill
I filed in civil court and figured I could do it myself. After a month or so I went to see Mr. Nixon. Previous experience made me very skeptical of lawyers. He spent a lot of time discussing what I wanted to do. A lawyer we used previously wasn't interested in our case cause it wasn't worth enough money for him. Mr Nixon charged a very fair price to take over. He worked with the other lawyer and kept me up to date. He returns emails and calls extremely fast. He ended up getting me more than I thought he would. Once again you won't regret hiring him and as long as I stay in this area I would never use anyone else.
Posted by Mark
Mr.Nixon was amazing from the start he met with me and my family. He always kept our best interest in everything he did for us. He was always there to answer all of my questions even if it was late. He exceeded far beyond my expectations for my case!! He was very attentive and never let me get over worried about my situation. He went into battle for me and conquered!!! I would never think about using anyone else ever again if any situation came to hand, I would go straight to him in confidence that the job would be done in my best interest. Please please just use him for your needs hes the man for the job 100%!!!!!!

Russell was great to work with during a tense time. Even though the case was not a major criminal offense, he did his best to ensure justice was served. Being from out of state I was very grateful to have found Russell Nixon to represent my case.
Posted by J.
After discussing a property boundary fence case with the attorney, I asked him to write a letter to a neighbor who failed to properly contain his livestock. Mr. Nixon chose to call the neighbor after I stated I only wanted him to write a letter for me. He then billed me for this time, along with 2 phone calls to a number that was not mine. (He said he wrote the number down wrong, even though he read it back to me correctly when he was given it.) When I finally was able to get in touch with him after 13 days, I requested a refund since I had seen no action on the case. When the invoice was received several days later, it was addressed to someone else.
As the bill was for his call to the neighbor (which I had told him not to do as I wanted a letter written), and for the 2 calls to whom-ever, I cannot recommend this attorney. To avoid the same experience I suffered, I recommend you seek advice of another attorney.
Posted by John
I had a contract with another company and they didn't pay like they said they would. We had done business together for years so I didn't want to sue them. Russell worked out the problem without filing a single page with the judge. I wasn't sure at first whether Mr. Nixon would be able to work things out because he's so young. I've had other lawyers in the past that immediately sued and dragged things out for years. Russell handled everything and got me my money in about a month. I was shocked that he worked so quickly. The relationship I had with the other business is fine and we're still on good terms. They say they respected the way Russell spoke to them and explained the options. He's now my business and personal lawyer. I'll never use anyone else.
Posted by anonymous
I was worried that I'd lose my job because of my arrest. After Russell spoke to the state's lawyer we were able to work everything out. Then he spoke with my employer and explained what happened. My employer later told me that they would have fired me based on the charges the court listed, but after speaking to Russell they decided not to. I would have lost my job, my house, and possibly custody of my children if Russell hadn't help me so much. I would recommend RUssell Nixon to anyone. He's great. He explains everything so simply that even i understood. lol. Hopefully i won't need him for anything in the future but if i do I know I can trust him to take care of everything.
Posted by anonymous
Russell did my divorce and he was great. He was very patient with me when I didn't know how I wanted things resolved. My husband was being a jerk and Russell stayed cool even when I was losing my cool. He always made me feel like eveything was going to be fine. Hire Mr. Nixon. He did a fantastic job and I would recommend him to anyone.
Posted by anonymous
I was so worried about my criminal case, but Mr. Nixon help me to ease my mind. I went to two other lawyers before I found Mr Nixon and I won't ever use anybody else. He has a good way about him and I think that makes him better at dealing with other people, like the district attorney or other attorneys.
Posted by anonymous
I hired Mr. Nixon for a criminal case and he was wonderful. He kept me informed and took me through the process step by step. I would recommend Russell Nixon to anyone looking for a great lawyer at an affordable rate. I feel he charged a fair rate and worked for hard his attorney fee.

Lyndeborough's Elected Elite Must Be Held Accountable! It was the governing body's decision to write the contract and then wrongfully terminate Chief of Police James Basinas. The District Court's decision to uphold the provisions of the contract is legal irregardless of their asinine politics to cover up for one of their members.
Citizens of Lyndeborough have come to our organization, the "Citizens Alliance Against Creepy Politics"; with information indicating the suspension and subsequent firing of Chief Basinas was politically motivated by a group we call "the good old boys". This whole mess has angered people, split friendships, harmed the personal integrity of several people, and cost the taxpayers a bunch of money they cannot afford.
We've also learned that the "good old boys" have pressured Lyndeborough Police Officers to break their oath of office to "Serve and Protect" to desert their posts. Milford's Police Chief Fred Douglas, a resident of Lyndeborough, and Wilton's Police Chief Brent Hautanen have both breached their oaths of office to "Protect and Serve" by arbitrarily withdrawing the regional "Mutual Aid Agreement" with Lyndeborough. This being politically motivated should be viewed as extortion.
We've learned that the main police line to Lyndeborough's police station had been permanently placed on "cal lforwarding" to Milford dispatch until we took action to have call service restored to Chief Basinas' desk.
All of this could have been avoided by allowing Chief Basinas the open public hearing he asked for. Conflict between police and administrations are becoming too common in our state. Public officials, once elected, have no one to answer to. We need a state-wide agency to develop and enforce universal code-of-conduct and ethics policies similar to the NH Bar Association. Elected or appointed officials should be held accountable.

I switched from AT&T to Sprint I have a iPhone4s had a iPhone 4 I cant tell any speed difference can you?
4 Replies
Dec 21, 2011 at 3:27 UTC
I would be surprised if the backbone to their towers was significantly different. The technology is (GSM vs CDMA) but how the network gets to their towers probably isn't.
Dec 21, 2011 at 3:44 UTC
Still on a 3G network, and if you're in a city it's gonna be bogged down just as much.
Dec 22, 2011 at 7:30 UTC
You are not going to see any real network speed difference from an Iphone 4 to an iphone 4s, on the same carrier. The real speed difference is in the processing power of the 4s in running applications switching to new apps etc.
Sprint's network, and Verizon for that matter's network for the "iphone" is significantly slower than ATT's network and will be until the iphone works with LTE networks.
Dec 22, 2011 at 10:56 UTC
I have the iPhone 4S on Sprint and if you download the Speedtest.net app and run a test, you can see how slow their network is for the iPhone. I've been with Sprint for nearly a decade now and have never had any major problems with them, and this is my first iPhone, but this slow network speed could amount to being a problem for those people who really expect to use a lot of data while they're out and about. I'm usually connected to a wifi network when I'm using my phone for anything so a slow cellular data network isn't as big a deal as it may be for others.
Here are some stats from a Speedtest.net run on my iPhone 4S while connected to the Sprint 3G network.
Ping: 175ms
Download: 0.76 Mbps
Upload: 0.27 Mbps
And I ran the test several times and even changed which server was running the test and got pretty consistent results.
