Tahs improving where needed - Cheika
April 20, 2013

New South Wales Waratahs coach Michael Cheika refused to get carried away with his team's performance to defeat the defending Super Rugby champions in Sydney on Friday night.
Cheika has played down his side's finals aspirations all season, but his charges now are seventh on the ladder after 10 rounds and within striking distance of the playoffs having won four of their first eight matches.
"I still haven't seen the table," Cheika said at the press conference after the waratahs had beaten the Chiefs 25-20 at Allianz Stadium. "I never actually said that we don't want to make the finals. I said 'I've never looked at the table'. And I still won't look at the table because looking at the table is not going to do anything for me is it? If I watch the game, study the team, try to make the team to get a bit better and help us to get there, then you might open your eyes one day and you might be in the top six; you never know but for us that's not even in the mindset at the moment."
Cheika said of his side's three-tries-to-two victory over the high-flying Chiefs: "I thought the area that we said we needed to improve to become capable of winning a match like that - I think we improved on them. The contact area was very good, our defence improved, but I think we can still be a bit more dominant; we gave minimum opportunities in transition, and when we made breaks we generally capitalised ... we're starting to build some belief in ourselves."
Cheika praised Man of the Match Israel Folau's performance, and said of the fullback's 38th-minute try: "I'm not quite sure why it's taken us 10 weeks to work out we can actually kick the ball over to him, and he'll jump up and catch it and score ... that might be dumb coaching I don't know. Maybe the situation hasn't occurred, but it was smart from [Bernard Foley] because we had the advantage so we had a free shot at it and [Folau] put himself in exactly the right place. [Folau] did really well and had a very good game. He missed a tackle for the try unfortunately, but that was smart footy by Foley.
Waratahs captain Dave Dennis said on Saturday that the victory had instilled a greater sense of belief in the team ahead of their next match, with the Bulls in Pretoria. "It gives the boys confidence, a bit of momentum going over to Loftus," he said. "No one has won at Loftus before. It's a great challenge for us. It's a really good week for the boys, having that result and turning up Sunday to the airport will add a different feel to the group. There's a good feeling."
Cheika, meanwhile, confirmed winger Drew Mitchell had sustained a hamstring injury, and said that he would decide on Saturday about his availability for the two-match tour of South Africa. "We just have to see the extent of the injury but obviously for him to come off that early in the piece … we've got to get him assessed pretty quickly because we've got to make some decisions about South Africa."
The Waratahs showed great spirit to defeat the Chiefs (video available only in Australia)

St John's, Antigua – The West Indies Cricket Board today announced that it has taken a decision to move the Third Digicel Test which was originally scheduled to be played at the Guyana National Stadium.
WINDWARD Islands captain Liam Sebastien showed no sign of fear or intimidation as his team prepares for Friday's opening match of the West Indies Regional Four-Day Cricket Championship against defending champions Jamaica — the team which beat them in the semi-finals of the recent T20 tournament.
Bridgetown, Barbados, CMC -- Darren Sammy said commitments to Windward Islands and West Indies have forced him to opt out of the Bangladesh Twenty20 Premier League next month. The allrounder had his options picked up for US $55,000 in the BPL auction on Thursday by the Sylhet Royals.
He said, however, that he informed the franchise yesterday that he would have to turn down their offer due to clashing schedules with regional and West Indies matches.
GROS ISLET, St Lucia, CMC – West Indies, responding to Bangladesh A's 155 all out, were 72 for seven at the close on the opening day of the second four-day "Test" at the Beausejour Cricket Ground here Saturday.

Defense researchers are looking to stem the tide of counterfeit electronic parts invading the military supply chain by developing a tiny electronic component to authenticate other electronic components.
The component, called a dielet, is being developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) under its Supply Chain Hardware Integrity for Electronics Defense (SHIELD) program.
DARPA is looking for proposals from industry to develop a 100-micron-x-100-micron dielet that authenticates the provenance of electronics components. The dielets, it said in a Feb. 24 announcement, should contain a full encryption engine, sensors to detect tampering and would readily affix to today's electronic components such as microchips.
DARPA will host a SHIELD program proposers' day workshop on March 14.
The proposed component is aimed at stanching the flow of used and non-authentic counterfeit electronic components that have penetrated the defense supply chain. Over the past two years, according to a Senate Armed Services Committee study, more than 1 million suspect parts have been associated with known supply chain compromises.
DARPA wants the new technology to protect against a range of threats, including recycled, unlicensed, test-rejected or falsely marked components. It also wants to weed out clones, low-quality and secretly re-packaged copies.
Counterfeit and suspect electronic components are pervasive, targeting both expensive and inexpensive electronic parts, threatening to introduce critical weak points in weapons and defense information systems, according to DARPA. The new program looks to develop a tool to verify, without disrupting or harming the system, the trustworthiness of a protected electronic component. The dielet will be inserted into the electronic component's package at the manufacturing site or affixed to existing trusted components, without any alteration of the host component's design or reliability, said the agency.
According to DARPA, the dielet would not be connected electronically to the component it accompanies, and authenticity testing could be done anywhere with a handheld probe or with an automated one for larger volumes.
After a scan, an inexpensive appliance, like a smartphone, would upload a serial number to a central, industry-owned server. The server would then send an unencrypted challenge to the dielet, which sends back an encrypted answer and data from passive sensors—like light exposure—that could indicate tampering.
"SHIELD demands a tool that costs less than a penny per unit, yet makes counterfeiting too expensive and technically difficult to do," Kerry Bernstein, DARPA program manager, said in the agency statement. "The dielet will be designed to be robust in operation, yet fragile in the face of tampering. What SHIELD is seeking is a very advanced piece of hardware that will offer an on-demand authentication method never before available to the supply chain."

6 ways to pitch preventive care to cat owners
Recently I was waiting in a Chicago veterinary clinic when a woman leaned over and said, "I have the most beautiful cat in the world."
"Of course," I replied. (I mean, what else could I say?)
But curiously this woman only had a dog with her. So I inquired about where the most beautiful cat in the world was.
"At home," she said. "The cat is indoors and doesn't need to see a veterinarian."
Really? How often do hear that from cat owners? While it's true that indoor-only cats rarely get hit by cars or attacked by coyotes, I argue that cats who live in the lap of luxury may actually be more prone to other problems, such as diabetes mellitus or osteoarthritis—two conditions associated with overweight or obese cats.
You and I both know indoor-only cats require preventive care. But could you use some new ideas for discussing the importance of preventive veterinary care with reluctant cat clients? Try these tactics:
1. Find out if a client has cats at home. I dug into the issue in a veterinary reception area—it's a perfect topic for the exam room. The "Have we seen your cat lately?" website still offers free clinic kits to promote feline care at your practice. And you can send your client there for more information about the importance of routine veterinary visits for cats.
2. Point out just how wonderfully magical cats are. But explain that cats are like all illusionists—what you see may not be what you get. Often by the time even the most astute cat owner realizes something is amiss, an illness has become far more serious and more costly to treat. Most importantly, the cat was suffering all along and no one knew.
3. Remind pet owners that cats get sick too. Do they know cats get cancer and diabetes as well as kidney, hyperthyroid and heart disease? Sometimes, at least initially, there are no obvious signs or symptoms (see the previous point), and few pet owners have the skills or tools to diagnose their pet at home. Tell your clients about the importance of routine veterinary exams and wellness screens in diagnosing medical conditions.
4. Talk about rapid aging. Not seeing a veterinarian for preventive care once—or ideally twice—annually is like you or I seeing a doctor every four to six years. Don't hesitate to use this analogy when talking to clients.
5. Help clients get their cats to your office. Many cat owners find it difficult or impossible to physically get their feline friends to the veterinarian, even if they understand how important it is. Work toward a solution by teaching clients how to use a carrier properly. There are several good videos now available on the topic, including these:
> Visiting your veterinarian: Tips for a stress-free trip
> Cats and carriers: Friends not foes
6. Make a housecall. It's my belief that all practices should encourage at least one veterinarian in the hospital to offer regular house calls. Ask the veterinarians at your practice if anyone is interested in taking on this responsibility.
By starting the conversation with clients and giving them the resources they need to get their feline companions the care they need, you'll be doing your part to help cats live long, healthy lives.

I think the line that is confusing me is: [Sc in each sc to 1 sc before marked sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in marked sc] twice Is it 2 sc in next, then 1 sc, then the same thing again (meaning twice)? Because that is not getting me the correct diameter at 54 stitches. Thanks in advance, Willo

Ok, I've tried this several times, but when I get to 54 stitches the diameter is about the size of a hat. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

On of the ways I convinced myself that the D800 was a good purchase was that I can travel with only a single device and capture both fantastic video and still images. Mind you, this is not for professional use, this is vacations with the family, etc. I'm finally getting around to producing some quality video, but I will admit, it's a real pain in the butt with a super steep learning curve. Everything that makes it a great camera for photo's makes terrible for just capturing video's of family events (DOF for example) And there lies the problem.My wife is getting very frustrated with the D800 and hates almost everything about it. Size, weight, complexity, and a lack of VR in my primary lens (24-70) so all her video is shaky as can be. And unless I completely set the camera up for her prior to the shot, she has produced maybe 5 pictures that are properly exposed and in focus since I got it. That said, she also has no interest in learning how to use it, she just wants it to work With all the major sales going on right now, I was thinking about grabbing a Nikon V1 and 10-30mm package for her as it will also fulfill both her complaints but primarily she wants the video first, photo's a distant second.I'm a bit uncertain about purchasing another camcorder b/c even into the $1000 range (I had a Canon VIXIA HFS200 which I sold to buy the D800) low light performance was rather poor and the lenses were just not wide enough for indoors (43.5-435mm). That, and being a Mac user, AVCHD is a pain to work with unless I purchase FCP X.Has Nikon developed the video capabilities in the V1 to the point where they start getting close to camcorder ease and with better low light capabilities due to the considerably larger sensor (1/2.6" vs 1")? How well does the autofocus work in video? Has anyone replaced their camcorder with a V1 and been happy with the results?One thing to consider, we have only once, in almost 3 years of ownership of the Canon, recorded something longer than 10 mins. Everything seems to be quick 1-2m (or less) video snaps.Thanks,Ray
Visit my Nikonians gallery.
I can't answer all your questions as I am somewhat of a video novice but I have a V1 and I have shot video with it for the last 8 months so I do have a little experience.So here's how I would answer you:1. Is the V1 easy to shoot video with? Yes, very. You turn the dial to video and press the button on top to start and again to stop. It will focus, too, if you set the focus mode.2. How is low light performance? Like with most things you would want a faster lens like the 10 f2.8 or 18.5 f1.8 to get more light in. The small sensor is really good but it has limitations.3. Is the high speed super-slow-mo mode worth it? It's a fun novelty but you won't use it because the resulting movie is low quality.4. How is the AF? I haven't really had any issues with it. But I haven't tried to do things like tracking shots. Like with other cameras, the better the contrast of your subject the snappier and more sure the AF will be.I haven't had a camcorder in 10 years. With the video in this and my D800 I wouldn't go back to getting a dedicated video device. I'd sooner use my iPhone than that.
I think she'll like the V1. I've been using it since August for both stills and video (D300 and Canon Vixia both in the drawer most of the time) for two trips - to Chicago and to Thailand. I've done a few comparisons and generally prefer the V1 to the D300 for stills (except under low light - but most of my stuff is outdoors) and prefer the V1 to the Canon (except perhaps the ease and range of zooming). I also like the ability to simultaneously record full resolution stills and HD video. The .MOV video output goes straight into iMovie with no problems. I'm getting the V2 shortly (my son-in-law is getting my V1)I have the 10-30 and 30-110 lenses. I'd like the 18.5 mm f/1.8 but mostly for stills in low light. Noise under low light is less noticeable in video and the ability to frame accurately with a zoom is more important to me (you can crop video in iMovie but you don't have the pixels to work with like you do with a still).Here's a sample (the MC's intro was shot with the Canon on a tripod, but the rest was with the V1 hand-held). Watch in 1080, if possible.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRESloa3-hw&feature=context-gau
The Video from the V1 looks to be shot in 60i vs 30p, is that correct? It seems to have the Interlacing/Combing Effect on the V1 footage. Just wanted to verify that it was the settings and not the typical output.Also, I doubt I would get the 30-100 or 10mm pancake, I would only purchase the 10-30 lens. If I got her another lens, it would probably be the 18.5 f/1.8 but since no one is running a special with purchase of the V1, I would let her get that if she thinks she needs it.

Ordering a charging port?
Hi, folks:
I can't locate a charging port for my 4th gen iPod touch (nor for any iPod, for that matter) here on iFixIt. Mine has a couple of pins broken off, and won't charge properly. Need I purchase an entire logic board to replace it? I have a 32GB touch.
Thanks for the tips,
Edited by: mayer ( ) , oldturkey03 ( )
Accepted Answer
Binky Melnik, here is my answer from a very similar question "first I'd like to say that this is not an easy job and does require some very good soldering skills as well as great tools. Hot-air station would be the best, but it can be done with a good soldering iron, a steady hands and some good magnifying light. In order to remove it, disassemble the iPod completely by using one of these guides.. Then you will have to de-solder the solder from the two anchors of the dock connector. best way to do that is by using braid or a solder sucker. After that you will have to de-solder each and everyone of the pins (30 of those) again, a solder sucker or braid will definitely be a must. Once you have it all de-soldered, clean it and replace the dock connector by soldering all the contacts and anchors. Make sure that you are very careful not to bridge the contacts with solder. Check this video for what needs to be done and if you are up to the challenge. It is a 2md gen iPod but the same idea. the part is available at places like this. If you are not sure if you want to do that job, there are commercial places available that will fix it for you for around $60-$80. The dock connector is available at places like thisand many more, I'm sure. Hope this helps, good luck.
Wow; and I'd been worried about replacing a logic board?! Good grief! The thought of de-soldering and re-soldering 30 pins makes me dizzy (I have fine tremors), so I think replacing the motherboard appeals after all! Thanks for letting me know what replacing the port entails.
(And now that I think about it, my pod is reporting the amount of charge wrong anyway, so I believe a motherboard replacement is mandatory anyway.)
Tell me something (if you can): I'm not finding a logic board on the iPod touch page (ifixit.com/iPo
:-) yes, it is a bit of a PITA to repair it. There are a couple of choices you have. Like I mentioned in my answer, you can get your current dock connector replaced by a commercial service for about ~$60-$80, or you can get a new logic board for around ~$110. Problem with that is that those are mostly 8GB boards. Look at places like this. You can of course try the old stand-by, ebay.com, and see if something comes up about a used one. Problem with that is, you do not necessarily know what you get ( may be someones problem board) I would probably go with a board repair and replace the battery. That may fix your wrong percentage indication as well. Hope this helps, good luck.

Pacers 107, Warriors 96
INDIANAPOLIS (AP)—Jermaine O'Neal has spent more time working on his jump shot in recent weeks, and it finally paid off.
The 6-foot-11 center showcased his range against the Golden State Warriors, scoring a season-high 34 points to lead the Indiana Pacers to a 107-96 win Tuesday night.
O'Neal made 14 of 24 shots, many of which came from outside 12 feet.
"Jermaine's entire game continues to evolve in quantum leaps," Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. "We know he's the best post player in the Eastern Conference. Now he's complementing the post play with the outside shot."
Jamaal Tinsley added 13 points and 11 assists, and the Pacers shot 52 percent from the field to earn their third straight win and NBA-best 42nd victory of the season.
O'Neal spent the first quarter banging down low with Golden State center Erick Dampier, who outweighs O'Neal by 25 pounds. Dampier had his way early, scoring 12 of his 22 points in the first quarter as the Warriors took a 25-23 lead.
O'Neal started going outside in the second quarter, knocking down jumpers and extending the Golden State defense.
"It's kind of frustrating because I haven't been able to shoot how I know I can shoot," said O'Neal, who also had four blocks. "I've just been shooting a lot lately and it finally paid off."
Jonathan Bender again gave a strong performance to help fill the void left by injured forward Ron Artest, scoring 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting.
Bender's minutes off the bench have increased since Artest went on the injured list after having surgery to repair torn ligaments in his left thumb. He led a Pacers bench that outscored the Warriors' bench 35-25, the seventh game in a row that Indiana's reserves have outscored their opponents' reserves.
"We're playing 10 guys now and the guys off the bench really made a solid contribution tonight," Carlisle said.
Dampier was the subject of several trade rumors before the deadline, one of which had him coming to Indiana, his former team.
The deal never transpired, and Dampier threw his considerable weight around against the Pacers on Tuesday night. The 265-pound center had 12 rebounds and forced O'Neal to the outside.
Unfortunately for the Warriors, O'Neal obliged. He scored 12 points, and Tinsley added five points and three assists in the decisive third quarter. O'Neal's two jumpers from the left wing sparked a 10-2 quarter-ending run to take an 80-74 lead into the final period.
"Jermaine seemed to hit all the big shots," Warriors coach Eric Musselman said. "He hit one big shot after another."
The Warriors didn't play poorly. They shot 42 percent, including 7-of-13 from 3-point range, and had only 12 turnovers.
Jason Richardson had 18 points and seven rebounds, and Brian Cardinal added 17 points for Golden State, but it wasn't enough against the balanced Pacers, who had six players in double figures.
"Our guys weren't able to match their energy," Warriors forward Clifford Robinson said. "They kept playing at a high level and because of that were able to seize control."
Anthony Johnson and Al Harrington each added 12 points, and Fred Jones had11 for the Pacers. Jeff Foster had eight points and 10 rebounds.
Cardinal, who starred at Purdue in college, received a nice ovation when announced for his first professional start at Conseco Fieldhouse. … Warriors F Mike Dunleavy scored five points in 15 minutes after missing seven of the last nine games with a sprained left ankle. Speedy Claxton also played despite being listed as questionable with a sprained right thumb. … Claxton drew a flagrant foul for a hard foul on Jones with 7:15 to go. … Pacers G Reggie Miller and Carlisle were called for technicals in a 35-second span in the third quarter. Those came after Carlisle was ejected and the Pacers hadfour technical fouls in a win over Utah on Sunday.

FAQ's 1. What is a Qualified, Mid-Qualified, & Non-Qualified rate? How do they apply? Qualified, Mid-Qualified & Non-Qualified rates are how many companies price/group transactions. Qualified transactions are normal swiped transactions which meet all the qualifying criteria of VISA and Mastercard and will allow for the lowest rate possible. Mid and Non-Qualifying are transactions which are downgraded by VISA and MasterCard for one or more reasons. Some of the more frequent reasons are: keyed in entries, not closing out batches every night, rewards cards, and corporate cards, etc. VISA and Mastercard have dozens of rate structures and they are many times grouped into these three tierd pricing structures (Qualified, Mid-Qualified, Non-Qualified) 2. What is the difference between a Mid and Non-Qualified rate? Mid-qualified rates usually occur when the transaction is only missing one piece of information. Majority of hand-keyed cards will be mid-qualified due to the risk of human error; not closing the batch every night may cause transactions to become mid-qualified. Non-qualified rates occur when a transaction is missing more than one piece of data and or is a corporate card. Corporate cards for the most part do not carry a balance, therefore the rates are higher. One of the best ways to explain downgrades to a merchant is: "When the card is not swiped and you have to key it in, the system/computers do not know that the card is actually present and therefore there is a greater risk for fraud. That being said, there is a higher discount rate charged to offset the risk." There are several different factors that play a part as to weather or not it will be a Mid or Non- Qualified transaction. All of this is determined by VISA & Mastercard, not Omega. 3. What is ERR and how does it work? ERR stands for "Enhanced Recovery Reduced". This is the preferred method for writing rates. VISA and Mastercard have dozens of rates structures for each respective card. Instead of grouping all of the rate structures into three buckets (Qual, Mid-Qual & Non- Qual, ERR actually allows for the exact interchange to be charged. This will save the merchant money and allows Omega to not have to adjust rates as often due to the interchange being passed on to the merchant. Example: A merchant has a CPS/retail interchange of 1.54% with a Qualified rate of 1.75% and an ERR rate of .80%. They conduct a transaction which actually qualifies as Visa Rewards 2, which is a 1.90% interchange and would be a non-qualified transaction in a three tierd pricing (3.5% - 4.0%). The merchant is charged the qualified rate of 1.75% plus the difference in interchange (1.90% - 1.54% = .36%) plus the .80% ERR rate. Making the total charge to the merchant, 1.75% + .36% +.80% = 2.91%. In definition, ERR is the difference between interchanges from qualifying fees classes plus the ERR rate on top of the original qualified rate. 4. What is a transaction fee? A transaction fee is the cost of running a sale through the Visa/MC systems. A customer is charged a transaction fee every time a sale is conducted. 5. What is a monthly minimum? A monthly minimum is the amount in total fees the merchant needs to acquire each month. Example: If a merchant's monthly minimum is $25.00 and his monthly fees add up to be $14.00, an additional $11.00 will be added in order to meet the monthly minimum. Everything excluding the Statement fee applies toward the monthly minimum. 6. What is a batch fees? A batch fee is the charge for closing out the terminal and processing all the transactions at the end of the day. 7. What is a chargeback? A chargeback is when a customer disputes a charge their bill. The merchant will then be asked to provide a copy of the signed receipt and possibly a carbon imprint of the card and fax it in. If the merchant doesn't have any proof of purchase with the customer's signature, the funds will normally be credited back to the customer and the merchant will be charged a fee. All final decisions of the chargeback's are left up to the issuing bank. In many cases chargeback disputes are handled without the merchant ever having to deal with them. 8. What is an AVS fee? An AVS (Address Verification Service) fee is an extra fraud and chargeback prevention method being used. As of now it is optional for the merchants, but may be required in the future. The AVS fee is applied when a merchant hand keys a transaction, the terminal is programmed to prompt for the customer's zip codes & other information which gives more credibility to the transaction, helps prevent fraud and reduces the risk for the merchant getting downgrade charges. 9. What is a bundled rate and how is one calculated? A bundled rate is a way calculating rates w/o a transaction fees. This gives you a good selling tool when quoting rates to a merchant that doesn't want a transaction fee. A bundled rate is calculated by using the following formula. (Transaction Fee / Average Ticket + Discount Rate) Always give a low estimate on the average ticket and look at previous statements before quoting bundled rates. Below is an example a bundled rate. 1.73% and $.20/transaction with an average ticket of $35.00 Bundled Rate Transaction Fee / Average Sale + Discount Rate = Bundled Rate $.20 / $35 + 1.73% = 2.30% 10. Is leased equipment handled through Omega? No, all equipment leasing is done through separate companies (Mostly FDR/Global Leasing). The lease amount will be deducted every month form the merchant's checking account and will not show up on the merchant's processing statement from Omega. All leases are separate from processing and have to be either bought out, returned, or continue making monthly payments on month to month bases after the lease has matured. 11. What is the difference between Telecheck's check guarantee and check conversion? Telecheck offers a variety of check services. One is check guarantee. Check guarantee is when a check is run through a reader or the information is keyed into the terminal and the terminal gives the merchant an authorization code to write on the check. The merchant then would deposit the check as normal and would be required to fill out a form and send it to Telecheck in ordered to be refund for any check that did not clear (usually within 5 business days) that was given an authorization code. Check conversion is the process of converting checks into electronic transactions. The merchant would run the check through a terminal (Eclipse) and the terminal makes a photocopy of the check and deposits the funds as if it were an ATM card. There is no need to deposit the paper check. Although there are occasions where checks will not convert and the merchant has to deposit them. 12. What is MOTO (Mail order Telephone Order)? MOTO is when a merchant accepts bankcards primarily over the phone and/or through the mail. The rate for these types of business is higher due to the fact the card holder is not present and it is at higher risk for fraud. 13. What is ETC Touchtone? ETC touchtone is when a merchant processes cards without a terminal by calling in the information over the phone and getting an authorization. The merchant then uses a manual imprinter for a receipt. The cardholder may be present but it is higher risk due to the nature of the method of processing.
