WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- They usually work on issues like transportation and the environment, so why is the Metropolitan Washington Council Of Governments taking a stand on gun control? That's what some Virginian lawmakers are asking tonight.
Cleaning up the Potomac? Check. Helping build the Metro? Check. Fixing up roads? Check. But, gun control? Corey Stewart, Chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors says. "The council of governments has no business in this issue."
It seems the Council of Governments, or COG, recently endorsed a strict position on gun violence. It was mid-March, when COG endorsed the International Association of Chiefs of Police position on gun control. They stand for universal background checks and a ban on military style assault weapons and high capacity magazines. Stewart explains what he thinks the position would do: "....reinstate the assault rifle ban, and all other sources of infringements on the second amendment."
The Republican Lt. Governor-hopeful disagrees wholeheartedly with this position, and it looks like he's not alone. In it's 50-plus year existence, Stewart says COG has never gotten involved in this kind of national, hot-button issue.
Twenty-two jurisdictions make up COG. Now, five of them are pushing back on this gun control stance: Loudoun County, Fairfax County, Prince William County, the City of Alexandria, and the City of Manassas. And Stewart doesn't mince words as to why, "It's a back door attempt by liberals in Maryland and Washington to affect Virginian's gun laws."
We relayed that thought to Chuck Bean, COG's Executive Director, He says COG's Board are "constructively discussing this issue among themselves" and he believes this can be resolved within a week. He says three of the five who disagree with COG's position are now working towards finding some common ground.
Stewart says he's voting with the County's wallet, "We pay almost $300,000 per year, Prince William County does, to the council of governments, this resolution that I'm putting forward tonight would take those dues away until the COG reverses it's position."
After this interview, the resolution passed 7 to 1.

text:
Newly elected, Jack Ryan has found that being President is not easy: domestic pitfalls await him at every turn; there's a revolution in Liberia; the Asian economy is going down the tubes; and now, in Moscow, someone may have tried to assassinate the chairman of the SVR - the former KGB - with a rocket-propelled grenade. Were the potential assassins political enemies, the Russian Mafia, or disaffected former KGB? Or is something far more dangerous at work here? While Ryan dispatches his most trusted eyes and ears, including black ops specialist John Clark, to find out the truth of the matter, forces in China are moving ahead with a plan of truly audacious proportions. If they succeed, the world will never look the same again.

"Good story - Narrator tries hard to kill it..."
This is a very good Clancy story. Lots of intriguing inside baseball detail about the inner workings of the CIA. However, the narration made it almost unlistenable. It sounds like every sentence in the book - no, every phrase - was recorded seperately and spliced together. It is so disjointed and emotionless that it took me the entire first part to get used to it. It is comically bad, especially when compared to the Clancy stuff done by Lou Diamond Phillps. I don't regret buying it because it is a good story, but it is painful to listen to...Buyer beware...
"Good Clancy Book and Enjoyable Audio"
No, just more convenient.
Yes, though I feel
Since he reads slower than others (an advantage to me !): better focus on the story.
There are humorous moments and even a sense of irony !
I find Tom Clancy espionage and political stories enjoyable, though I feel more inclined towards Robert Littell, Frederick Forsyth, and John le Carre.
Contrary to several opinions expressed here, I find Michael Pritchard read good. Others, like Scott Brick may read faster and, perhaps, involve themselves more into the story, but I personally am satisfied with Michael's narration. There is enough voice modulation and intonation to provide for an enjoyable listening experience. Pronouncing foreign (non-English) names (different accent !) is not often easy for English readers, but Michael's effort is commendable.
"Michael Pritchard=Monotone"
Michael Pritchard has the wrong voice for audiobooks, looking forward to Lou Diamond Philips in Dead or Alive.
"Long, but worth every moment!"
I have read every Tom Clancy novel multiple times. I always come back to Rainbow Six and The Bear and The Dragon. With such a complicated story, for our complicated world, I can't help but wonder what would happen if our political leaders read this story and tried to apply some of the wonderful concepts.
Tom Clancy is a master at starting multiple stories and bringing them all together as a wonderful climax. This book is no different.
The narrator does a great job and I would highly recommend this to anyone that likes a good political/military novel.
audiobook lover
"Save your money until they re-do with new narrator"
I have been listening to audio books, in one medium or another, since 1990, and I can say that this narrator should retire.
I seen other reviews for other books where people have said the narrator was horrible. But I still got the book because I liked the author. But although the narrator was bad, I was able to muddle through.
But Michael Prichard is 10 times worse. I'm not trying to be mean, but it's like he doesn't even care. He just reads the words so he can get his paycheck.
If you don't believe me or think I'm just being cruel, just look at the reviews for some of the other Clancy books that Prichard does. I'm not the only one that finds Prichard unbearable.
And to the publisher, if you are wondering why repeat sales of the Clancy books are so low, this is why. Please find a new narrator to redo the Clancy books. I love Clancy, but I'm not sitting through another book read by Prichard.
I absolutely love my audible account, makes its from enjoying a book to loving the stories found in the books. Do forgive my errors in the reviews i do have dyslexia but i will share my love with everyone
"two old enimies are now allies, will it work?"
The former nation of the USSR is now weak, struggling, and trying to survive the collapse of Communism, but they have luck, the struck gold, literally. with a huge gold mine and a oil well big enough to rival the middle east the new Russian nation has high hopes. but so does the PRC.
In the final novel of the Ryan universe Tom Clancy makes it worth it. old KGB enemies are working together with CIA men. the elite NATO team of Rainbow six goes to Russia to help train the Russian military in counter terrorism.
many of our old friends in his whole series come back to help out and we end with a few laughs, cries and we know the world is safe.
tom clancy tried to write a few years later with another novel but gave up before finishing the story.
I enjoy counter-terrorism, westerns, historical fiction, detective mysteries, and old school comedy like "A Christmas Story".
"Great Listen!"
Intriguing read of "what if" post cold war Russia, China, and the U.S.accidentally moved into a sudden war. I loved all the detailed plot development into leadership decisions behind the public awareness. The narrator is monotone and takes away from the story enjoyment; however, the story was so strong I managed to love this novel. Sadly, I will never purchase another audio book narrated by Michael Prichard. It is just too difficult a listen. Nonetheless, I loved Tom Clancy's story. It was fantastic.
"Ever a Clancy Fan"
As is evidenced by my other reviews, I'm hardly a book critic or a literary connoisseur, but I sure do love me some Jack Ryan. The plot arc that starts in Sum of Fears finds ends well in The Bear and the Dragon.
It appears that several of these Jack Ryan books are available in duplicate versions, ones read by Scott Brick and one by Michael Pritchard. I enjoy both authors, but suggest that as much as you can, stick to one narrator or the other; it does greatly help with the flow.
"classic interwoven intrigue - improved narration"
Largely good mindless entertainment, though it takes an attentive brain to track the multiple plot lines that you KNOW will "coincidentally" come together. Plot gets a bit convoluted and is rather predictable but if international spy/military action is your mood, then the predictability works. Narrator does a better job with this one than the previous novel in the series -- more modulation of the voice. This one is less about Ryan in role and character development. Includes pretty strong pro-life politics along with trashing Chinese communist leadership. For the digital world in which we now live, the computer and communications is a bit quaint, but adds to the plot and action really well. I got tired of the continual stereotyped racial name calling and labels, and it seemed more liberally dotted with 4 letter words and sexually oriented expletives etc. Ok Ok boys will be boys, but it got pretty juvenile. All this said, it was a fun listen and kept me well engaged.

"Watch what you listen (the order that is)"
Audible would do well to let us all know when you select a book if there are ones that you should have heard first. I got the series out of order which was confusing. That being said, a great book and a long listen
"Repetitive and turgid story"
This book was a real disappointment with a mediocre reader. He made no attempt to give accents to the different characters so it was hard to know if it was supposed to be a Chinese or Russian speaking.
It's very repetitive and the dialogue is clunky. Don't bother with this one.
"If its available in abridged form go for that."
Anyone else
Tom Clancy books make good films. This was hard going. This one couldn't be classed as fast paced!!
"The Bear and the Dragon - Fabulous listening!"
The Bear and the Dragon, like many Tom Clancy novels is one that you don't want to put down or, in this case, turn off. While I normally listen to audiobooks in the car, this was one that got unhooked and taken with me. It's hard to believe that this is nearly forty three hours of audio, the plot is so gripping it certainly doesn't feel that long. Most of the storyline is perhaps all too believable in today's world, with just a few elements stretching the imagination. Then again, if it didn't stretch the imagination it might not be such an entertaining listen. Michael Prichard's narration is excellent, well paced and clear. This is a great story and very good value. Thoroughly recommended.
A cracking listen, complicated storyline and well crafted characters (new ones as well as old ones), thoroughly enjoyed the lisen, Id recommend it to anyone. I listen to my audible books whilst working night shift and, for once, didnt want work to end as it meant waiting for the next "installment". Even though you knew the good guys would save the world, it was still a good story.
"The Bear and the Dragon"
I read this a long time ago, and loved it then. I loved listening to it just as much.
what a lovely way to pass the ironing.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
FUDECOSUR works in one of the poorest regions of Costa Rica, where microfinance institutions (MFIs) are scarce or have a hard time keeping up with demand for small loans. By providing mostly agricultural loans, FUDECOSUR reaches rural borrowers that many MFIs consider to be too risky. However, this has also made it more difficult for the organization to find stable sources of capital to lend. Kiva's flexible, risk-tolerant capital plays a critical role in helping FUDECOSUR grow its portfolio and support even more borrowers.
About FUDECOSUR:The Foundation for the Development of Southern Communities (FUDECOSUR) is dedicated to economically empowering its clients by providing credit and training programs that help improve living conditions for micro-entrepreneurs and their children across Southern Costa Rica. You can learn more about this Field Partner at fudecosur.org.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

How can I change the host name on the system and ip address so that the zimbra configuration reflects the systems new hostname and ip address? I looked at zmlocalconfig, btw this is beta2, and what I did was just to manually edit the localconfig.xml in the conf directory but Zimbra still wouldnt start up properly because it was referencing an old ip address which was shown when I did a zmcontorl start. How do you move the Zimbra box around in a network?

text: Lack of shark-mounted lasers only slightly undermines Harwell experience Olivia Solon's Blog 30 September 11 Rutherford Appleton LaboratoryObligatory plasma lamp used to warm up visitors to the idea of scienceOlivia Solon Olivia Solon Deputy Editor, Wired.co.uk Follow @Olivia_Solon This week I was lured to the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory at Harwell under the pretence of seeing sharks with lasers attached to their heads. OK, I may have extrapolated slightly, but the draw of the Central Laser Facility was powerful and alluring.Instead of Bond villain weapons, I was greeted with a crash course in particle physics from an incredibly engaging Stephen Haywood. In the space of half an hour we race through matter, antimatter, neutrinos, supersymmetry, time reversal, the Higgs Boson and the mysterious pronunciation of quark to rhyme with "walk" and not "bark".As a regretful arts graduate, I always relish the opportunity to deepen my scientific understanding -- whether it's radioisotopes at ILL or microwaves at the National Physical Laboratory. I will admit, however, that my 40-minute abridged history of the most fundamental particles of our universe was enough to provoke a cerebral implosion that could only be remedied by having some of my fellow guests stroke my hair and show me a series of photos of French bulldog puppies with faces in varying degrees of squishiness. Next up was a tour of ISIS, which combines an ion source and a particle accelerator. The wonderfully-named Diamond Synchrotron is the 163-metre circumference ring of magnets that bend and focus beams of protons. These are then fed off into different research labs and passed through a tungsten target to produce a pulse of neutrons, which can in turn be used to examine the properties of materials. For example, a little instrument called Lmx is used to "see" how enzymes catalyse biological processes such as the conversion of sugar from glucose to fructose -- all thanks to a technique called neutron protein crystallography.While the machinery was certainly impressive, it was brought to life with a selection of mind-boggling metaphors befitting of such sub-atomic wizardry. My favourite physics-for-dummies analogy was describing neutron scattering as like trying to deduce the shape of a chair by throwing a load of tennis balls at it and measuring where they bounced.After neutrons came lasers. Now, forgive me for anticipating death rays or tractor beams, but that's the sort of shit I expected from a campus that houses the International Space Innovation Centre. But just as the latter looked more like a customer engagement service solutions provider based in a Woking business park (probably named with an abstract noun such as fusion), the Central Laser Facility was slightly less sexy than its name suggests. Only slightly less sexy, because the scientist who showed us round did use the phrase "pump and probe" on multiple occasions, which served to raise the sexy quotient (SQ). This may well have shot through the roof had we been allowed to check out the Vulcan Petawatt, one of the highest-intensity focused lasers in the world. But alas, we had to make do with a glimpse of a tatty vinyl sign printed with its magnificent name. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

OOIDA cites privacy, tech loopholes to get EOBRs scrapped
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. – The largest owner-op group in the U.S. has filed a petition to vacate the final rule mandating electronic on-board recorders for motor carriers.
Calling the rule "arbitrary and capricious," the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association says there is no proof "black boxes" – as EOBRs are commonly dubbed -- accurately record a driver's hours of service and duty status in real time, OOIDA adds.
An EOBR, OOIDA argues, tracks only the movement and location of a truck and requires human interaction to record any change of duty status.
Loading and unloading, for example, must be logged as on-duty time, but without driver input, devices are incapable of automatically determining actual duty status.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration issued a final rule on mandatory EOBRs for those who have a 10-percent or more hours of service violation rate.
OOIDA also cited privacy concerns with EOBRs, stating that "real-time, government mandated, 24-hour electronic surveillance of a driver's location and movements … is an unjustified and dangerous intrusion on drivers' right of privacy."
"Not one word appears in the EOBR rulemaking record identifying regulations containing safeguards to ensure that the devices are not used to harass vehicle operators," the filing states. "For this reason alone, the rules must be found to be arbitrary and capricious for the agency's failure to heed the specific statutory mandate."
OOIDA points to a Regulatory Impact Analysis by FMCSA that notes that "companies (can) use EOBRs to enforce company policies and monitor drivers' behavior in other ways."
"Carrier harassment includes the use of technology to interrupt a driver during an off-duty rest period. Carriers can contact the driver and pressure him to get back on the road to maximize his on duty-time. Such power usurps the driver's discretion to get rest, take a break or sleep when he believes it is necessary even when he or she has time left on the clock to drive or work," OOIDA's brief states.
While warrantless searches have been granted in the workplace, OOIDA continues, numerous court decisions have prevented them on a citizen's home or private dwelling.
"Given the unique nature of the trucking industry and the fact that many drivers use their tractors as their 'home away from home,' … a driver has such a reasonable expectation of privacy in his truck when he is not working."
OOIDA and the member plaintiffs are asking the court to vacate the rule and send it back to the agency for further consideration consistent with the court's findings.
The court has given FMCSA until Nov. 4 to file its reply briefs.

Tech N9ne is angry. Scrap that: Tech N9ne is exceptionally angry. His latest EP opens with the abrasive demand to "Shut the fuck up!" and the Kansas City firecracker continues to blaze through seven tracks that, closing cut aside, channel his pent-up fury into irate Rap missives. When he hits form, Tech comes off like an undeniable force of Rap. Curiously though, Boiling Point doesn't manage to mould this intensity and tangible rage into quite the fireball of an EP it should be.
For his part, Tech's verbals can be as spellbinding as ever. "URALYA" does the job as an opener, with the production's gutsy guitar stabs trading blows with threats like, "I'm gonna beat you like a piñata/ Better yet I'm giving the devil a stigmata/ Hit you with a hell of an Afrika Bambaataa - boom!" Then comes "Fire In AC," which has Tech and Krizz Kaliko addressing the cinema shooting in Aurora, Colorado over a dramatic and bombastic beat by Seven. "I wish this would have happened like it happened in my mind," raps Tech, "Instead of what occurred in theater number nine/ My condolences to the families that mourn/ Our humanity was torn." Cinema shooter James Holmes is then told to "Burn in hell for eternity for what you did… The depths of hell gonna swallow your ass."
But as the EP continues, and the demonic indignation increases - not least with the murder fantasy "Should I Killer" and the Brotha Lynch Hung team-up "Hunger" - it reaches a plateau: The inherent evilness of the lyrics becomes so the norm that there's no shock or edge or thrill to them anymore. When Tech spits "'Cause you a bitch/ You a fraud/ I don't like you/ You a broad" he sounds like he's running out of ideas. This is compounded by Tech's flows across Boiling Point veering towards the one-dimensional.
2012 has seen Tech N9ne abide by an intense and hectic release schedule for both his own output and his label. Now he might want to cool down on the wrath and start to remember the benefits of a bout of calm reflection.

Ryan McIntosh can't remember the initial moment after his accident, but it's safe to say it's a day he'll never forget.
He'll never forget the day he lost part of his right leg while part of his Army regiment in Afghanistan. He'll never forget the recovery he had to make to get where he is today, and he'll never forget the things that helped him make the quick recovery he did.
Some of the memories he has of Rifle are what helped him recover from what could have been considered a debilitating injury. He shared some of those memories recently, stopping by a Rifle High School football practice to talk with this year's Bears.
The message he sent was more than memorable.
"His story is so powerful and so unique that it's definitely worth sharing," said Rifle High football coach Damon Wells, who coached McIntosh in high school.
McIntosh, who was on his way to Moab, Utah to be the best man in the wedding for his brother, Mikael, stopped by on the way from his current home at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. He shared his story with the team prior to the Bears' game against Battle Mountain on Sept. 28.
"They were captivated, no doubt about it," Wells said.
Active high school athlete
McIntosh played football and ran track in high school and graduated in 2007. He received a scholarship offer to run track and play football at Graceland College, an NAIA Division I school in Lamoni, Iowa, but instead enrolled at Mesa State in Grand Junction because "it was closer to home and I had a girlfriend at the time."
That didn't work out, but it was there he met his wife, Hannah, enlisted in the Army and was deployed to Afghanistan on Oct. 8, 2010.
It was exactly two months after his deployment when McIntosh's unforgettable day happened.
Memories still missing
Walking in a ranger file and lined up sixth in the order of movement, he jumped over a small canal after five other members of his patrol had crossed the same spot.
An explosion happened when he landed after crossing. McIntosh can't remember the explosion even now; when he awoke following the initial impact, he was 10 feet in the air. He landed in a ditch close to 20 feet away from the blast.
McIntosh had stepped on a land mine but didn't know it at the time. He said he regained his composure while hearing members of his patrol yell "Where's Mac?" and "IED! IED!" which stands for improvised explosive device.
Not knowing where he was, McIntosh pulled himself out of the ditch he landed in before his squad leader found him and called a medic for assistance. And it wasn't until the medic had worked on his injury and McIntosh was being airlifted from the scene of the explosion that he saw the extent of his injury.
Half of McIntosh's right boot was missing.
"It's still surreal, even to this day," McIntosh said. "It seemed like more of a dream than anything. All I can remember was thinking about at that point was my wife and unborn son," he continued, speaking of his now 18-month-old son, Kaden.
"That was pretty difficult," McIntosh added. " I laid there crying, saying to myself, 'I was supposed to be a dad. I was supposed to be a dad.' I just wanted to be a good husband and dad for my son."
Breaking the news to his wife wasn't any easier. It took telling her more than once for her to comprehend what had happened. What followed, however, was a remarkably short recovery time. McIntosh was walking on his own close to six weeks after the accident.
Not slowing down
Now, McIntosh has a prosthesis for different occasions. He has one for normal walking situations, but he has another he uses for playing sports. He was wearing this one when he took advantage of a unique opportunity this past summer.
While participating in an event earlier this year called the Warrior Games in Colorado Springs, an athletic event for wounded soldiers, McIntosh learned of a commanding officer who had connections to the United States Tennis Association. They were looking for ball people for the U.S. Open in Flushing, N.Y., and McIntosh eventually became one of the 250 people shagging balls at the event for $7.75 an hour.
"I'm a pretty confident person, and once I got out there I figured I could handle just about anything," McIntosh said. "I got a lot of attention and there were a lot of nerves. But I wasn't about to let anything that happened stop me by any means."
And McIntosh has used his experience in a positive way. He now serves as an adaptive sports coordinator on his base, helping wounded soldiers recover both mentally and physically from their injuries.
He spoke of these things when he came by the football team's practice. The biggest thing he spoke about, Wells said, was how playing at Rifle could have such an impact in how you conduct yourself.
"He told them that even though playing football at Rifle is such a small part of your life, the experiences you have can make a lasting impression on you. It was pretty powerful stuff," Wells said.
Future looks bright
That powerful stuff continues for McIntosh. He and his wife have another child on the way and, on Oct. 14, will turn 24. He's well aware that it's a birthday which probably shouldn't have come, but he's busy now taking advantage of the time he has.
A long-term goal is to participate in the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. In the meantime, there have been plenty of memories McIntosh has attained in the past two years - even the stuff he can't remember - that he plans to put to good use.
"I'm very strong willed," McIntosh said. "No matter what God puts in front of me now, it'll be just another obstacle to clear. Just because I've lost my leg doesn't mean I have to stop doing anything I love."

Friday News, September 14
Legal Experts Claim B-P-I Will Have Up Hill Climb On Lawsuit
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Legal experts say a South Dakota beef processor that is suing ABC News for defamation faces a steep climb for a victory in court.
Beef Products Inc. is suing ABC News, Inc. for defamation Thursday over its coverage of a meat product, Finely Lean Textured Beef. The company alleges that the network created an inaccurate impression that the product is unsafe.
The lawsuit seeks damages under South Dakota's defamation law, as well as a 1994 state law that allows businesses to sue anyone who knowingly spreads false information about a food product. A
company lawyer says BPI will seek $1.2 billion in damages.
Drake University law professor Neil Hamilton says BPI may struggle to convince a jury that the news stories were defamatory or that harm was intended.

FedEx Helps Stop A Computer Theft
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Des Moines police are crediting package delivery company FedEx with thwarting an attempt by someone posing as the state's largest school district to order $30,000 worth of computers.
An unidentified person ordered the equipment using the name Des Moines Public Schools.
Police say the shipment of 20 computers was on its way when FedEx employees noted the shipment was bound for a house in Des Moines and a not a school. The company called the school district to verify the purchase, and stopped the delivery when it learned the district had not ordered the computers.
Police say the person, who was not a district employee, falsified a purchase order using the school district's logo and some basic information.
Vice President Biden To Campaign In Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The campaign for President Barack Obama says Vice President Joe Biden's trip to Iowa next week includes a visit to Burlington.
Biden will speak at an event at the Port of Burlington on Monday. The event is free and open to the public, but tickets are required.
The campaign announced earlier this week that Biden will be in Iowa on Monday and Tuesday. Details on other campaign stops haven't been released.
Biden's events come 10 days after he last visited Iowa on September 7th. He and his wife joined Barack and Michelle Obama at the University of Iowa, the day after the Democratic National
Both Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney are competing hard in Iowa, which is one of about six battleground states.
Iowa Electoral College Appointee Resigns
AMES, Iowa (AP) - One of the Republican appointees to the Electoral College has resigned abruptly from her post after publicly questioning whether she would support the GOP's presidential ticket when casting official votes after the November election.
Melinda Wadsley of Ames tells The Associated Press that she could not in good conscience vote for party nominee Mitt Romney.
Wadsley was among three electors who had told the AP for a story published Thursday that they were exploring alternatives should Romney win their states. Wadsley had backed candidate Ron Paul.
Iowa GOP Chairman A.J. Spiker says the process will begin for selecting a new presidential elector from the Fourth District, which would allow the GOP to confirm a die-hard Romney supporter.
Judge Says Richter Can See Children
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - A prosecutor is expressing outrage about a decision ordering a father to take his two children cross-country to visit their mother while she's in prison for killing a man in
their rural Iowa home in 2001.
Judge Nancy Whittenburg has ordered Michael Roberts to take his children from California to visit their mother, Tracey Richter, at Polk County's Mitchellville prison while she appeals.
Whittenburg says the kids have a bond with their mother and the visits will "bring closure to the sudden and traumatic events of the past year."
Sac County Atorney Ben Smith said Thursday he respected the decision, but couldn't disagree more. He says it's "mind-boggling" Richter still has parental rights since she shot 20-year-old Dustin Wehde while the kids were one room away. Richter claims self-defense.
Des Moines Doctor Charged With Involuntary Manslaughter
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A Des Moines doctor charged with involuntary manslaughter for allegedly prescribing large amounts of narcotic painkillers to eight patients who fatally overdosed is seeking a delay in his preliminary hearing.
Doctor Daniel Baldi (BALD'-ee) was charged earlier this month. One of the eight patients identified in court papers was Paul Gray, a founder of the heavy metal band Slipknot. He died of an overdose
in 2010 at an Urbandale hotel.
Defense attorney Guy Cook on Wednesday filed a motion in Polk County District Court seeking a delay in Baldi's preliminary hearing that's set for Friday. In the motion, Cook seeks a delay, citing among other reasons, time to gather evidence that may be presented during a preliminary hearing.

I'm trying to figure out what is the best approach to backup, zimbra's backup...
We use Tivoli in a Disk to Disk to Tape. We are trying to backup only the /opt/zimbra/backup tree, but are having issues with:
* each backup creates a new directory
* way too many files, and the backup server has a hard time indexing new files
* after a month, backups get deleted from zimbra, and we have more issues with un-indexing
How are you guys handling this ? If I would just ignore zimbra's backup, and 'do it myself' what should we backup and how about restoring ?
Of course, we want to do this 'online' and not 'offline'...

Madison, NC -- Detectives in Rockingham County are looking for whoever set off explosives inside two mailboxes in the Madison area. Officers said the suspects even took pictures of the damage they caused.
Officers said the first call came into the 911 center around 1:15 am Sunday from a house in the 3600 block of NC 704. The man reported that his mailbox had been destroyed by an explosive device. Less than an hour later, 911 received another call at 2:00 am, from a homeowner in the 700 block of Ellisboro Rd. The victim also reported that his mailbox had been destroyed by an explosive device.
Debris from the mailboxes was found as far as 100 feet away from the site of the explosion, detectives said.
Detectives said the suspects returned to the scene of the crime on Ellisboro Road to take pictures of the destruction before speeding off.
Description of possible suspect vehicle: The Sheriff's Office is looking for a dark colored 4-wheel drive pickup truck (possibly a Cummings Dodge) Diesel engine with very loud muffler, dark/tinted windows and a lift kit. It was occupied by several Caucasian males, two of which were riding in the bed of the truck in connection with the property damage at these locations.
Anyone with information about these incidents or about the truck is asked to call the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office at (336) 634-3232 or Rockingham County Crimestoppers at (336) 349-9683.

The question on the minds of University of Louisville Cardinal (20-5, 8-4 Big East) basketball fans had to be: how would their team respond after a 65 minute, 5 overtime heartbreaker of a loss to Notre Dame. They found out on Valentine's Day at the KFC Yum! Center against the visiting St. John's Red Storm (15-10, 7-6). For the Cards, spirits were high and hearts were full and they left the court with the 72-58 victory.
It wasn't like you could expect love between the Big East foes who played late to accommodate the ESPN "Rivalry Week" schedule. That was a stretch. Yes, the two teams play each other by virtue of sharing the same conference, but calling them rivals made the Worldwide Leader look a little silly to the knowledgeable Cardinal faithful.
This St. John's team also had the hardest to address Valentine's Cards with sophomore starter Sir'Dominic Pointer and redshirt senior God'sgift Achiuwa on their squad. Take that Montrezl "Silent L" Harrell.
On the court, though, the Red Storm can block shots. They rank second in the nation. The Cards post players could have been in for a long night. Luckily for Card Nation the opposite happened with Louisville scoring 32 of their points in the pain.
The first half ended up being a sloppy affair at times. The Cardinal defense bothered St.John's most of the half. On the opposite end, Louisville had trouble finding the basket and not because of the Red Storm defense, which was token at best.
St. John's led at one point in the first half, but Louisville would put together a run to go up by a few. Then came long stretches of poor execution and bad luck. At home, you're supposed to get the roll but that wasn't happening a lot. The Cards did end up puting it together at the end of the half to go up 32-23 at the break.
The Red Storm played themselves back into the game in the second half briefly, but they had to contend with something they didn't have to in the first stanza: Russ Smith. St. John's was able to contain him in the first half giving up only 3 points. But as most Big East teams know, he gets his love. The junior shooting guard finished with 24 point, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. But the stat that made his coach happy: zero turnovers.
The game nearly got ugly midway through the second half and with the Red Storm down by double digits. A scuffle broke out between St. John's Pointer and Louisville's Harrell. Rather than showing each other affection they did some pushing and it resulted in a double technical as their gift.
"I don't think I coached a good game," coach Rick Pitino said afterwards. He said he's playing Gorgui Dieng too many minutes and that's why his shot blocking numbers are down. Even with that, Dieng scored another double-double with 10 points and 17 rebounds.
For St. John's, Phil Green IV led his team with 21 points and D'Angelo Harrison finished with 18. No other Red Storm player contributed significantly. They didn't get any joy from the free throw line either only firing 7 times. The Cards, conversely, had 30 shots from the line.
Senior point guard Peyton Siva showed some renewed aggression for Louisville, pouring in 12 points on 4 for 9 shooting. His 6 assists stood out as well as he spread the love.
The Cardinals travel to Tampa Sunday for a rematch with the University of South Florida. Back in January, Louisville clubbed them pretty handily 64-38. The Bulls will look to even the score at their 1:02pm tipoff.

Encoder-based PE Correction on the cheap
Posted 25 March 2013 - 01:32 PM
If this is more appropriate in the ATM forum, I'd appreciate if it was moved there. But I think it will generate more interest here.
I had been planning to work on an encoder-based periodic error correction box for some months now, but I got sidetracked by buying a Mach1.
However it is an interesting problem that potentially could help a lot of Atlas and CGEM mounts out there. I hope it isn't out of line that I am showing something when the full solution isn't working yet, but so far progress has been gratifying, so I will post some information here.
Parts needed:
1) machined aluminum plug with an M28 x 1mm thread on one end, and a 1" diameter (25.4mm) shaft extension
2) thin aluminum plate (I will dimension this later once everything is working nicely)
3) aluminum plate on the CGEM
completely reversible mod:
4) the most expensive part of this DIY: a 5000-ppr (pulse per revolution) sine-cosine analog encoder; this one is a Baumer-Thalheim ITD 42, the well-known commercial solution uses a Heidenhain ERN480. I got the Baumer quite inexpensively (a bit over $100) but a new one is probably $400 range.
another view:
and another
Now the reader may wonder, how do we implement encoder-based periodic error correction with a 5000-ppr encoder? aren't those Gurley encoders on the SiTech 320,000-tick? and don't the ASA mounts use million-tick encoders?
The solution here is called encoder interpolation. The commercial product uses an ERN480, which costs 270 EURO ($350). The ERN480 is also a 5000-ppr sine-cosine analog encoder.
So where do the millions of ticks come from? you measure the A and B channels (both analog), then calculate the arc-tangent. This is because the A channel is a sine wave, and the B channel is 90 degrees out of phase (a cosine wave). One cycle is produced for every slot on the encoder. So the famous arctan ( A / B ) will give us the encoder's position in between two adjacent slots.
Encoder interpolation is a well-known problem, and Heidenhain makes an interpolator box, the IBV660B, which can do 400-fold interpolation (giving 400 x 5000 = 2 million ticks). Unfortunately, the IBV660B costs over 900 EURO (about $1200).
Obviously any solution cannot lower the cost of the encoder (which is $300 - $400) so any savings must be in the interpolation box.
Now this is where I come in. I figured out that a commercial interpolator is overkill, because our RA axis rotates at a fairly slow rate (the IBV660B can interpolate while the encoder is rotating at over 1000 RPM - which we don't need).
At the very slow speeds of an RA axis that is tracking, we can do the interpolation in software.
Particularly, with a $50 Arduino Uno, a $3 Microchip MCP3304 differential analog-to-digital converter, some wires, and a single bypass capacitor (< $1) which may not even be needed.
This is the current state of my interpolator solution:
Extremely crude, $60 worth of parts. Right now, it does nothing but read the A, B, and N channels of the encoder, and output the readings on the serial port. I am not even using a voltage reference, so the full 13-bit resolution of the AD converter is not being used.
But even with this crippled solution, I can characterize the periodic error of my CGEM with not a star in the sky, simply by reading the encoder:
You can see the horrendous, humongous 8/3 harmonic. With a 200-millisecond sampling rate, I get about 3" granularity. No autoguider can correct 5X per second reliably, so I see good functionality here.
To complete this solution, requires a bit more coding, and a $5 optocoupler so that the Arduino can drive the ST-4 inputs of the mount (just the RA+ and RA- inputs actually). Since I actually have a job I will probably finish the autoguider control portion this coming Easter holiday.
If everything works as planned, I am going to publish the schematics and source code so that anyone can build their own encoder-based PE correction system.
Maybe if enough people sign up, I would have some PC boards fabricated, etc. An Arduino chip only costs $7, you actually don't need the entire $50 board. So I could see fabricating a PCB with an Atmega328 chip on it, pre-programmed with the interpolator and ST-4 control software, and with the AD converter. Just add encoder and plug it into your ST-4 port.
I do not expect the cost of the interpolator and guiding hardware to exceed a hundred bucks or so. In other words, the price of a GPUSB.
Further, I see lots of 1250-ppr and 2500-ppr surplus analog encoders on ebay for $60 to $80. I believe these will still work, albeit with lower resolution than the 5000-ppr Heidenhain or Baumer. So the amount of reduction in the PE would be less. I am to reduce PE to sub 2" peak-to-peak with this gadget; with a cheaper encoder probably only 5" peak-to-peak will be possible. But the cost will be much less.

The challenges I see are
1) getting a reliable source of the encoders (because if we buy new, they are $300 - $400 each)
2) manufacturing the polar scope plug, this will be different for every mount and every encoder (hence, standardizing on a specific encoder model is good)
3) manufacturing the bracket to fasten the encoder to the mount
4) wiring the encoder to the interpolation box / control unit
I am an electrical engineer, so I am confident I can make the control box work. It's the mechanical aspects which are challenging, and I suspect that's where the commercial solution has its value. Their machining is gorgeous, and no integration / DIY hackery is required.
Posted 25 March 2013 - 02:16 PM
Posted 25 March 2013 - 02:20 PM
I wouldn't mind going with a cheaper encoder I would be happy to get my mount down to 5" peak-to-peak. Anything is better than the error that it has now.

2) manufacturing the polar scope plug,
This project appears to have tremendous potential! One consideration is final universal hardware design will be that many popular mounts do not have a polar scope mounting in the rear RA housing; for those some other means of picking up RA motion will be necessary.

Will your solution be able to support having the encoder and a conventional guider sending inputs at the same time? If not, it would make this solution pretty limited, since there are lots of sources of guide errors beyond mechanical, periodic error.

And to all, the idea is not novel at all. Encoder based correction has been around a while. The only innovation here is making the interpolator / control box dirt cheap...
Posted 25 March 2013 - 11:49 PM
Dec is just passed.
Posted 25 March 2013 - 11:51 PM
The OR method would work because am assuming guider corrections will be very rare if the encoder is working properly (would only handle things like drift..)

I have just found this encoder on ebay:
Do you think it will work?
Posted 26 March 2013 - 07:23 AM
That is a digital encoder.
http://products.auto...E80H manual.pdf
Actually all the Autonics encoders in this range, even the "V: Voltage output" model, are digital, check the waveform output diagram in the above link.
Compare with the doc from Heidenhain (go to Page 62, it has a very good discussion of interpolation) - well worth reading.
My solution requires an analog encoder. And frankly the new price of the Autonics are $238. Not too far from Heidenhain. I'd rather have German quality (or Swiss - Baumer) than Korean. There's a reason AP mounts use Swiss Maxon motors.
Digital encoders are pretty cheap, and have been used for years in digital setting circles. But they usually only are a few thousand pulses per revolution (PPR). Usually 5000, 10000, or 4096. That's not enough resolution.
You really need at least 500000 ticks. This is why the Gurley encoder used on the SiTech is 320000 ticks.
the only way to get those 320K or 500K or 1 million ticks, is either use a large-diameter ring encoder, or use an analog encoder. In both cases you need to interpolate. And interpolation only works if the encoder outputs are analog.
My breadboard solution above is simply an interpolator.
UPDATE: the Baumer ITD 22 is over 500 GBP list. That's $770. So it's true.. Baumer does cost more than Heidenhain.

If you can get <2" PE unguided, most of us wouldn't care if we had to spend 4-500 bucks on a new encoder.
I have no idea how I could mount something like this on a MI250. We don't have a polar alignment plug . But I'll chip in on some hardware to make this project move forward. Send me a PM.
You on Google Plus? Might be a good place to coordinate that can be private with the results posted here.
Posted 26 March 2013 - 08:27 AM
I won't be able to make any more updates to this project till Friday, as I'm on business travel.
Seems that there are no alternatives to Heidenhain. The local Baumer dealer has been deafeningly silent. I have asked Heidenhain if they have a cheaper encoder (maybe 2500 ppr).
But speaking of the MI250... I don't see this solution being that useful for mounts of higher-tier than a G11. Neilson in the other thread reports 3" p-p PE for his CGE. If you're already getting that level of performance, an encoder will not provide much incremental benefit.
In fact, the very reason I lost interest in this whole encoder thing was because when I got the Mach1 I discovered its peak-to-peak PE after PEC was 0.5".
I imagine an MI250 would have very low PE, and whatever it had, could be removed with PEC.
I really see this encoder having the most benefit for EQ6 / Atlas and CGEM. Because lots of people have these mounts, and they generally have terrible PE.
Posted 26 March 2013 - 08:57 AM
All and all, this is very cool- a ready to go solution for going out in the field is a very good thing. And since I have a CGEM, I'd definitely be interested in giving this a try.
Posted 26 March 2013 - 09:06 AM
Another approach is using one of those Renishaw linear encoder read heads. I have one of those too!
The problem with these is the tape is darn expensive.. over $250 for an appropriate length (about 20"). And it's more of a hassle because you have to wrap the tape around a large cylindrical portion of the mount.
Posted 26 March 2013 - 10:44 AM
Posted 26 March 2013 - 11:10 AM
Agilent's HEDS-971X-150 is an analog-output encoder providing 360 LPI resolution, higher resolution than any analog encoder designed for office automation applications. The HEDS-971X-150 delivers on effective resolution of up to 1.440 LPI when used with external interpolation techniques.
The data sheet does show that it has sinusoidal (current) outputs. Not sure how good those sinusoids are going to be.. definitely would be worth looking into, although I don't think it is precise enough, to be honest.

Bumpside Ford IFS - Fatman Strikes AgainWritten by on August 15, 2011 Bumpside Ford IFS
I have had my '68 Ford F-100 for more than a decade and as the editor of Street Chopper magazine, this truck has hauled a lot of Harleys. When the stock suspension was finally on its last legs, I had some decision making to do. I wanted the truck to have a much lower stance so I could easily get 600-plus-pound bikes loaded without the use of a long and sketchy ramp and a couple of half-drunk buddies.
As the '67-'72 Ford trucks have risen in popularity with custom truckers, getting them in the weeds has been the topic of many discussions. Most want a quick solution, which isn't the easiest thing to achieve with Ford's Twin I-beam design. Only a few companies make dropped beams and to tell you the truth, they simply don't give enough drops for what I was looking for. I already decided on doing a ground-scraping four-bar Ride Tech set up out back (which will be in an upcoming issue) so I can just basically ride my hog right into the bed all by my lonesome.
After much mental debate, I decided I was going to ditch the I-beam route all together and use one of Fatman Fabrication's Stage III IFS kits. The kit from Fatman comes with polished stainless steel control arms and adjustable-rate QA1 Shocks, which allow easy fine-tuning of the ride height and a superior ride over monotube shocks. The kit comes complete with all the brackets, tabs, and hardware necessary to give this Bumpside Effie better ground control and a more preferable stance.
While we had the truck torn down, I added a Fatman front sway bar to gain some stabilization for the big beast. We also upgraded to a set of trick billet hubs and disc brakes from our friends at Engineered Components Inc. so we know darn well my Harley hauler will stop no matter how much payload we have out back.
So grab a coldie, sit back, and follow along as we do a tip-to-tail install on the front of my '68 F-100. CCT

Luckily, we have our HTP Microcut 625 plasma cutter ready and willing to slice and dice any metal we put in front of it.…but decided to add a couple of braces to ensure the chassis remains nice and straight before removing the crossmember.Here's a shot of the front of the truck at its barest state. Yes, we did just remove some massive metal.The edges of the framerails were ground clean before we clamped a strip of sheetmetal to the inside of the rails for our boxing plates.The pattern was transferred to the sheetmetal then the plasma cutter was used to trim them down into the proper shape.
As per Fatman's directions, we ensured that the chassis was on a 3-degree rake to ensure the factory suspension guidelines remain intact before we set the new IFS crossmember into place and made a few calculations as where we wanted the front wheels to be. We went 1½ inches forward from stock and marked each framerail before centering the crossmember. This will lengthen the wheelbase and center the wheels in the wheelwells.We then tacked the Fatman IFS crossmember into place. Once it was measured to be correct in every way, we welded it to the frame.The lower control arm mount requires a gusset to be welded to the rear of the crossmember. This will keep those arms nice and stiff!
When installing rack-and-pinion steering on these lowered IFS trucks, a C-notch has to be made in the frame so it doesn't hit when it articulates.The polished stainless upper and lower control arms were installed along with the QA1 coilover shocks and Fat Man spindle. Note the relation of the coilover mounting plate on the lower control arm.A set of billet 5x5½-inch hubs and 11-inch disc brakes were supplied by Engineered Components Inc. (ECI) to provide more than adequate stopping power to the old Ford.
Fatman supplies a machined thread-on extension that spaced the rack to the correct width. Loctite was used to ensure that the extension does not come loose.Once the extension is screwed on, the passenger-side tie rod is threaded on an the dust boot is reinstalled.To mount the sway bar, I drilled holes in the frame and welded in some Grade-8 nuts to it that can be easily removed if needed.…and affixed to the lower arm using Fatman's special mounts. The busted ball joint boots shown are the result of the rubber industry's compliance with the strict regulations set up by the EPA. Thankfully, Fatman has the problem solved and all their kits ship with updated rubber.

Bridgeport, CT (Sports Network) - Antoine Mason scored a game-high 17 points
as the Niagara Purple Eagles held off the Fairfield Stags, 67-64, in a Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference bout at Webster Bank Arena.
Mason was dreadful from the field (2-of-13) but he made all 12 of his free
throw attempts for Niagara (9-8, 5-1 MAAC), which has won five straight
conference games and four of its last five overall. T.J. Cline chipped in 12
points, while Ameen Tanksley added 10 points for the visitors.
For Fairfield (10-8, 2-4), Justin Jenkins netted 16 points, while Derek
Needham and Maurice Barrow each scored 10 points.
Both teams shot 44.4 percent from the field in the first half, but Niagara
drained three 3-pointers and went 10-of-13 from the foul line to take a 37-33
lead at intermission.
In a back-and-forth second half, Fairfield broke a 50-50 tie at the 5:35
following a 1-of-2 trip to the foul line by Jenkins, but Niagara would retake
the lead two minutes later on a Juan'ya Green layup, which proved to be the
The Purple Eagles forced the Stags into 16 turnovers while committing just
five themselves.

Racetrack Romance in hunt at Aqueduct
Published: Friday, November 22, 2013 at 11:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 22, 2013 at 11:48 p.m.
On Sunday, Racetrack Romance is the coupled favorite in the $100,000 Smiling and Dancin Stakes at Aqueduct Racetrack in New York.
The 2-year-old, Florida-bred son of Bellamy Road was bred at the Steinbrenner family's Kinsman Farm in Ocala.
He has made two starts in his career, winning his maiden claiming debut in August. He then made his stakes debut in the Grade 2 With Anticipation Stakes at Saratoga 18 days later.
He was outmatched and finished last.
Still, he is one of only two horses in the race with graded stakes experience. There are 10 horses in the field including Request, the coupled entry with Racetrack Romance. They are listed as the combined 2-1 favorite.
Request won his maiden weight special race at Belmont Park on Sept. 21. The son of Dynaformer makes his stakes debut in the 1-mile, turf race.
Both horses are owned by Paul Pompa Jr.
The second choice at 5-2 is Mr. Speaker, a son of Pulpit. The colt broke his maiden on his third try in a maiden special weight race at Belmont in October. He also makes his stakes debut.
Innovation Economy is the third choice at 3-1. Another son of Dynaformer, he won a maiden special weight race on his first try in October at Belmont. The Smiling and Dancin is his first stakes try.
The Smiling and Dancin is scheduled for 3:43 p.m. and is race No. 8.
In the southwest, Florida-bred Red Lead is the third choice in the $150,000 Zia Park Distance Championship Handicap at the New Mexico track.
Red Lead, a hardy son of Red Bullet, makes his 51st start of his career. The 7-year-old gelding has scratched his way to earnings of nearly $800,000. He has won 13 of his 50 starts and is a multiple stakes winner.
He is listed at odds of 5-1 in the 1 1/8-mile race and has not won a race since May.
He did finish third in his last start, which was an allowance at Remington Park in September. He also finished third in the Prairie Meadows Handicap in July.
Bred by Adena Springs, he is owned by Joey Keith Davis.
The favorite is Ol Winedrinker Who, at odds of 3-1. He won the Veterans Stakes at Zia on Nov. 4. He is a 4-year-old, gelded son of former Florida stallion Sligo Bay.
The Distance Championship is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. and is race No. 11.

WHEELING - The 36th Annual Dick Dei Track Classic will be held today at Wheeling Park High School Track, beginning at 9 a.m. with most track finals slated to start about 1:15 p.m.
Admission for the event is $5 for adults and $3 for students. It is being co-sponsored by the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company and Wheeling Park High School.
The meet, which has been exclusively a boys' meet, will now, for the first time, include girls. The meet is named in horning the late Coach/Administrator C.R. "Dick" Dei, who was the driving force behind the formation of this event.
Dei was the head track coach at Wheeling High before being named as the first boys' track coach for at Wheeling Park High School when the school opened in 1976.
His assistant coach, Carl Bowman, came on board at the same time and the twosome coached together from 1976 until they both resigned at the end of the 1990 school year. Dei went on to become an assistant principal until his retirement, but both Bowman and Dei took over the girls' program in the early 1980s.
Dei's teams won several OVAC 4A and Region One 3A Boys titles. At one point his team had accrued 10 straight OVAC 4A boys' championships and 24 straight Region One 3A boys' titles. The boys' teams were state champs in 1978, 1980, and 1988, and runner-ups in 1979.
The coaching staff from the early 80s through 1990 included Dei, Bowman, Ken Steiner, Dianna Vargo (now superintendent of Ohio County Schools) and Bernie Dolan (now assistant superintendent of Ohio County Schools).
Dei was primarily responsible for getting the lights and poles, as well as the initial building and the restrooms at the track. He also had a hand in the construction of the current locker rooms and was always getting volunteers to work at the track and even persuaded then Assistant Superintendant Frank Dumas to come one Saturday in his work clothes and boots to assist with his "projects".
James Donaldson is the honorary referee. He started working track meets in 1967 at the old Wheeling High School under coach Sam Sereanna.
Jim, as he is known to his friends, worked track meets at other school throughout the years including middle school events. He started helping with Wheeling Park Meets in 1982 and has worked the Dick Dei Classic/Domino-Pepsi Classic since its inception in 2004 and has not missed this event.
Wheeling Park, John Marshall, St. John boys, and Brooke are local teams participating.

I bought this along with my dc500, I am glad I did it has in my opinion given me a better range of pictures. Especially for the price it beats the competitors prices and in my opion is just as good. The only draw back is a shadow in the upper right corner but all you have to do is adjuste the wide and telephot lense and it goes away. Thumbs up

..ok how can a camera save your dive? George here at Scuba.com bent over backwards to insure that I had a camera for my trip to see my see in Del Mar, glad he did now i have proof that I had three sharks circling me and it didnt end up in the sure it happened stories, but other than that I have used cameras my whole life including ones for work (real estate appraising) and this one is just as good as many of the cameras I have used in the past. This is a great by especially with the price of the add ons being so reasonable compared to other brands. A thumbs up from me just take the time to learn the cmaera before you hit the water if I had I would have ended up with a better picture of my sharks however that was my own fault not that of the cameras....ok so I was in shock alittle from staring down three sharks for my first time but who wouldnt be.... Ok the only downfall is the battery time. Good for about 100 pictures or so. They could have made a longer lasting battery wish mine had come with a backup...
