Everyone's favorite out-of-town NBA team just got approximately 40 percent less cool if Y! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski's reporting is accurate:
Along with All-Star guard James Harden, the Thunder will send Cole Aldridge, Lazr Hayward and Daquan Cook to the Rockets, source tells Y!— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) October 28, 2012
I mean, it's not accurate, really. He has been a Sixth Man of the Year and an Olympian, yes, but James Harden has never been an All-Star. And we can only assume the other names are meant to be spelled "Cole Aldrich," "Lazar Hayward" and "Daequan Cook." But Harden was a primo third wheel on a team that won the Western Conference last year, and until he rejected a four-year, $52 million contract earlier today, it appeared the Thunder were loaded for another run at the Finals.
In return for Harden (16.8 points, 4.1 boards, 3.7 dimes, 1.0 steals, .491 shooting, 1.0 awesome haircuts last season) the Thunder will receive a bunch of Rockets. Wait, you say. The Rockets are not very good. Who do they have to send to OKC except for players who will have a tough time filling James Harden's practically-an-all-star shoes? Well, that's a great question. Woj has answers. The Lakers look forward to June.
The Rockets send Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb and future draft considerations to the Thunder for Harden, sources tell Y! Sports.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) October 28, 2012
As part of deal, Thunder will receive "significant" future draft picks from Houston, source tells Y! Sports.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) October 28, 2012
Talks on an extension broke down between the Thunder and Harden on an extension, and Presti moved quickly to trade him.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) October 28, 2012
Houston sends two 2013 first-round picks (from Dallas and Toronto) to Oklahoma CIty, source tells Y!— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) October 28, 2012
Houston also sends a 2013 second-round pick (via Charlotte) to Thunder.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) October 28, 2012
Also, the Oklahoman has a tidy explanation of why Harden's plump contract just wouldn't fit on the same ledger with Kevin Durant's and Russell Westbrook's:
[W]ith max contracts extended to Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook—as well as more than $52 million invested in Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins over the next three seasons alone—the Thunder faced the possibility of stiff penalties under the new, more punitive collective bargaining agreement.
Had the Thunder been able to ink Harden to a $13 million annual contract, a franchise playing in the league's third smallest market would have owed $67 million to just five players next season. That figure would have increased to $70 million in 2014-15 for those same five players.
The tax threshold for this season is $70.3 million. Starting next season, teams must pay an incremental rate starting at $1.50 for every dollar they exceed the threshold.

Thailand's Burmese slaves
In Mahachai, an industrial zone south of Bangkok, half a million Burmese people work in the fishing industry. But most have no papers and make easy pickings for organised crime. Held against their will and forced to work at sea for months on end, they are treated cruelly by their captors. France 24's Cyril Payen brings you an investigation into this new form of human slavery.

Modifications to Moto Guzzi's 2011 Stelvio, now called the 'Stelvio 1200 8V' have brought it closer to its closest rival: BMW's R1200GS, than ever before. It's fast, fun, excellent handling and comes with a massive 32-litre fuel tank, giving it a fuel range of around 270-miles between fill-ups. There's also a new NTX 'adventure' version, which costs £1200 extra and ...

The Stelvio is Moto Guzzi's answer to the hugely-successful BMW R1200GS. It is brand new from the ground-up featuring a new chassis, suspension, wheels, tyres and Moto Guzzi's latest 8v 1200cc V-twin motor. Next to the BMW it's not as fast, light or focussed but it doesn't take itself as seriously either. It offers up more confidence in the corners ...

Anyone know if the time line from Omega-4 was intentionally reprinted in Omega-5 or if it's a mistake?

There was no timeline in Omega-4.
The history of the Seventh Cycle - from Y205 to Y221 - was first published in the Omega Master Rulebook, and it is this Cycle which has been included in Omega 5.
Although, I really want to know when the Eighth Cycle will be printed!

Post subject: Omega 5 Feedback
I got Omega 5 today at my FLGS, and I like it!
*The cover art looks amazing in print - much more eye-grabbing than the DK cover (I also got Distant Kingdoms today, but compared to Omega 5, it's a somewhat distant second! Terrible pun, I know...) and great at ashowing off both the awesome Dominator and the valiant Maesron and Koligahr gunboats trying to bring it down!
*I like the 2610 map on the back cover - looks like the FRA has expanded somewhat, the Unihive must presumably be where that cluster of grey-coloured hexes attached to the Echarri Dynasty with the crossed swords on it, no-one seems to have occupied the now-abandoned Ryn nebula (thus far, at any rate) and the Paravians control a lot more space than I thought they did by that time!
*Interesting tidbits about just how far the Omega timeline might go - there is a reference to the Iridani using their Survey PFs in their home Cluster until at least
! With the time-dilatory effects of the wormholes popping up in the octant, one could explain why there is a discrpancy between this and the cut-off date of 2625 for Alpha.
(Heh - it would be fun to imagine that the 'data burst' in 1970 was really from records kept on Aurora by a date later than 2625, and that the aspects of the data files so far decoded just happen to have been the last known information picked up by the FRA! I know it's not gonna be the case, though...)
*There is a slight error on page 46 of the SSD book - the special sensors on the Loriyill Survey PF are off-set on the page.
*I'm somewhat surprised that the FRA didn't get more non-conjectural ships - there is no FRA CVA or real SCS (which, given the lack of PFs, could presumably be operated using a similar principle of matching regular with heavy fighters that is seen with the Federation Third Way - if not straight away, the Aurorans would at least have been able to see the examples offered by Star Fleet in the era after 2614, when the FRA had exchanged records with the Federation during the month-long wormhole link) or CLA/BC-based carrier (again, which could operate either a pure force of regular fighters, or a mixed force of standard an heavy fighters).
Plus, it would have seemed reasonable to have given at least one example of the kind of newer heavy fighters that the FRA could have flown in place of PFs...
...unless the intention is to include these kinds of ships and fighters in a future Omega module in any event.
*So, now that 5 is out, I wonder if the next module be
First Great War
Personally, I'd like to see Warships next (and, possibly, ask for a few of the oddball FRA ships to be added to it) - not least since it would then pave the way for a potential Omega X-module.
But then, your mileage may vary...

Got a reply back about the timeline for the Y221+ period.
From Petrick
Well, truth to tell, I would rather there not be any history in the next
The problem is that from this juncture a history article is defining things
that would then have to be, and we do not even really have a grasp on what
we want to have happen from where we are now. So adding a "future history"
to (for example) a product about the "First Great War" (which happened
before Y100, much less Y220 or later) is a disconnect. The history would
have nothing to do with the product it is in.
I think we are more or less in a dilemma in that there was too much thrown
into Omega too quickly. Throwing more new races into it now would seem a
bad idea. There are 21 races there already that have ships and SSDs, and
about a half dozen or more mentioned that do not have a single published
SSD yet (and there are problems trying to track down the rules for some of
them that were part of their playtest packs).
I tend towards the idea of wanting to develop the existing races, more
bases and such, to make them more campaign compatable.
But defining the advance of the Echarri is going to be diffciult when their
is a lot more about them that needs to be done, and it would seem better to
do the "advanced technology module" for the Omega races first (since
supposedly they will have that tech to fight the Echarri) then to try to
force that into the Echarri product (robbing the Echarri of their own SSDs
and rules sections to force those rules in).
There is only so much that can be in any one product, and more needs to be
done with the existing races before the Echarri war can really be
So it looks like future Omega books will be used to fill in the races/time period we already have before anything more is added.
Makes sense to me.

Janova is a known face in the modeling world in and around Prague.
THAT SHOULD be no surprise considering her near perfect curves and delicately tanned skin. Prague is home to many professional models that have no inhibitions and Janova joins that tradition proudly.
It was instantly obvious when Petter was working with Janova that she had a lot of experience working with photographers that are looking for something much different then the work we are used to seeing here. This was most unfortunate as Petter had to call off the shoot after only three settings due to a lack of "compatibility" between the model and photographer. It's too bad she wasn't able to drop her working girl mask and let her real personality come out.
We of course wish her the best of luck.

Tale Of The Tape: New York Giants At Philadelphia Eagles
New York Giants
Philadelphia Eagles
Special Teams
The Ravens are dependent on Joe Flacco to play his best football down the stretch if they are going to make a run at the AFC North title. Flacco is certainly capable of getting hot and putting big numbers up on the scoreboard.
The Cowboys have been one of the bigger surprises in the league this year, but their sharp start could go to waste if they can't come through in games like this.
The Redskins pulled off one of the most disappointing performances of the season as they were coming off a bye week and had the lowly Tampa Bay Bucs at FedEx Field and they couldn't even stay close.

The Norwegian maritime sectorWallevik, Kristin (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The four papers in this thesis investigate corporate governance in family firms from different angles, with emphasis on industry and industry networks. I divide the industry networks into social and commercial networks, where social networks are measured by interlocking boards and commercial networks by investments in other firms in the same industry. Focus is on the governance structures in family firms, how industry and networks may be determinants of family ownership, and the effect of family ownership and strong industry networks on financial performance in certain industries (such as the maritime industry). Two of the papers are theoretical papers and two are empirical papers. The empirical papers are based on the same hand-collected dataset comprising 167 Norwegian listed companies from 1996-2005. The first paper - "Corporate Governance in Family firms" comprises a survey of the corporate governance literature on family firms, paying attention to the unique issues in the governance of these firms. I discuss different forms of ownership and how different agency contexts and business environments may suit family ownership better than other ownership structures. I also discuss how firms can reap the benefits of family ownership, by using a relational governance model, if there is an atmosphere of positive relationships, trust and shared visions. A relational governance model focuses on the social capital embedded in personal relations between owners, managers and board members. A contractual governance model, however, focuses on finding the optimal incentives in the relations between owners and managers, in addition to having greater focus on the monitoring role of the board. These two models may complement and supplement each other in a governance structure. The question is how these different governance models affect firms' operations, decision-making, and competitiveness. The second paper - "The Effect of Industry Networks on Family Ownership" deals with possible effects of industry networks on the prevalence of family firms in different industries. I discuss how various networks can be determinants of family ownership, in addition to elements like incentives, monitoring, and altruism, as well as firm, industry and nation specific factors. I also discuss whether family firms can gain more from these industry networks than other firms due to a higher degree of "thick trust", strong owner-manager relations and the use of a relational governance structure. This paper proposes that strong social and commercial networks affect the number of family firms in an industry, as a result of the social capital embedded in these relations. Paper three - "Social and Commercial Networks as Determinants of Family Ownership - The Norwegian Shipping Industry" is an empirical paper testing whether industry networks are among the determinants of family ownership in the Norwegian shipping industry. The overall question is why family ownership is more prevalent in some industries, and which elements that influence this ownership structure. I focus on industry effects such as the number of firms in an industry and the social and commercial industry networks between firms. These are potential determinants of family ownership. I find that both industry and various industry networks have a significant and positive effect on family ownership in the shipping industry. The fourth paper - "Family Ownership, Networks and Financial Performance" takes up the question whether family ownership and various networks affect financial performance, measured by Tobin's q and ROA lagged, or not. Earlier studies come to different conclusions regarding the relationship between family ownership and firm performance, which may be due to differences in the agency context of the studies. I add industry and industry networks as central variables to disentangle some of the contextual factors in this relationship. This paper argues that it is not necessarily the family ownership that affects performance, but how this ownership is used in a strategic manner. Establishing and using networks are seemingly a means of operation in some industries, sometimes with a positive effect on performance. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7901

Sigurjonsson, Throstur Olaf (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Currently, the corporate governance has the agenda of categorizing reality and thereby determining which systems are more effective and efficient in a given context. A question is posed; how has the internationalization of markets, liberalization, deregulation, and privatization adapted to rapid changes in traditionally based models of corporate governance? When corporate governance practices are exported from one country to another, they tend to be translated and customized to local practices before being adopted. The objective of this thesis is to examine this type of adaptation and explain the circumstances that led to a collapse of governance mechanisms, using Iceland as an example.

Abstract: This dissertation consists of an introductory chapter, followed by four papers that approach the topic of internationalization of small economies and the multinational firm from different angles. The concluding chapter deals with what happened in Iceland after the crisis that started in October 2008 with the collapse of the Icelandic financial system and how the very fast internationalization of Icelandic firms was possible, but only as further issues that need to be researched.

Spliid, Robert (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Afhandlingens overordnede forskningsspørgsmål er, hvordan kapitalfondene skaber værdi for deres porteføljevirksomheder ved brug af metoder og kompetencer. Metoderne er de instrumenter, kapitalfondene anvender, mens kompetencerne er deres evne til at benytte metoderne effektivt. Siden den første kapitalfond så dagens lys i midten af 70'erne, har der været betydelig fokus på denne ejerskabsform. På den ene side er kapitalfondene blevet kritiseret for at skabe værdi for aktionærerne på andre stakeholderes bekostning, på den anden side er der gjort adskillige forsøg på at påvise, at virksomheder i kapitalfondsejerskab klarer sig bedre end andre virksomheder. Udgangspunktet for denne undersøgelse er, at ingen ejerskabsform er den optimale under alle forhold. Alle virksomheder gennemlever forskellige faser, og kapitalfondsejerskabet egner sig bedst for virksomheder, der har behov for hurtig transformation. Undersøgelser af, hvordan kapitalfondsejede virksomheder klarer sig i sammenligning med andre virksomheder, bidrager derfor ikke til at fremme forståelsen for kapitalfondenes værdiskabelsesproces. Kapitalfondenes funktion som tidsbegrænset ejer forstås bedst ved at analysere dem i den kontekst, de opererer. Kapitalfondene udgør ikke en homogen investorgruppe, der handler ens på alle udfordringer, men de råder over bestemte instrumenter og kompetencer, som tegner et mønster i den måde, de arbejder på. Afhandlingens formål er at afdække dette mønster. Metoden er en casebaseret analyse af tre danske kapitalfondsejede virksomheder, som er udvalgt efter en række krav til forskellighed. De tre cases er byggevarekæden DT, som var ejet af en kapitalfond fra 2003 til 2006, fjernvarmerørsproducenten Logstor, som var ejet af kapitalfonde i to omgange fra 1999 til 2013, og medicinalvirksomheden Nycomed, som var ejet af kapitalfonde i tre omgange fra 1999 til 2011. Der er således i alle tre tilfælde tale om virksomheder, som er exited, så kapitalfondsejerskaberne kan ses i deres helhed. Undersøgelsen er baseret på interviews med 21 personer, hvoraf de 20 har haft en tilknytning til en af de tre virksomheder, mens den sidste repræsenterer en bank, der har deltaget i finansieringen af alle tre virksomheder. De 20 personer med direkte tilknytning til de tre virksomheder repræsenterede fire grupper: kapitalfondene, bestyrelsen, ledelsen og medarbejderne. Repræsentanterne for de fire grupper redegjorde fra hver deres synsvinkel for, hvorledes de mente, kapitalfondene arbejdede med virksomheden. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8934

Insights from Annual General MeetingsStrand, Therese (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This thesis consists of five empirical studies, all relating to shareholder activism at annual general meetings. The first study concerns the structure and content of general meetings in Denmark and Sweden comparatively. The paper reveals significant differences in the level of activism, with Swedish investors being the most active in terms of proposals, proxy voting, and 'voice'. The paper takes a legal approach, and discusses divergence in activism levels from the perspective of shareholder prerequisites to engage in monitoring efforts. Further, the paper investigating the topics addressed through questions and opinions. The results show that matters which can be categorized as irrelevant are reasonably rare. This is an important finding, as suggestions to abolish general meetings have often been based on the assumption that general meetings facilitate nothing but irrelevant, time consuming, and costly discussions that serves no monitoring function. The second study analyses the impact of voting power on shareholder activism. We hypothesize that there is a positive relationship between shareholder activism and a measure of the largest shareholder's sensitivity to increased participation by small shareholders and find that firms' amenability to small shareholder influence leads to more proposals by the nomination committee, but fewer proposals by other shareholders. We interpret this as evidence that the shareholder elected nomination committees effectively channel shareholder concerns and preempt other kinds of activism. Politicians and companies that desire active shareholders could improve the amenability of firms to shareholder influence by ownership transparency, shareholder committees, and contacts with shareholder associations and other vehicles for collective action...

An application to ChinaLi, Xin (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The starting point of this PhD research is two observations. The first is that people often tend to discuss a country's national competitiveness in a general tone, i.e., judging a country to be either competitive or uncompetitive, rather than making more balanced assessment, and therefore their opinions often contradict each other. The second observation is that there are many competing international reports that rank a large number of countries in terms of their national competitiveness. These reports often provide different rankings for a given country (e.g., China), and therefore the readers of these reports are often left with a confusing picture. The first observation reflects the reality that there has been a lack of commonly accepted definition of national competitiveness. The second reflects the methodological problems of the indexing-and-ranking methods commonly used by international competitiveness reports... URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8357

HARRISONBURG, Va. - James Madison football coaches Jeff Durden and Chris Malone have been released from the coaching staff, Head Coach Mickey Matthews announced today. Durden had served on the coaching staff for nine years as the offensive coordinator and eight as the quarterbacks coach, while Malone was with the program for six years as the offensive line coach and one as the run game coordinator.
"Today, I released offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Jeff Durden and run game coordinator/offensive line coach Chris Malone from their duties on our staff," Matthews said. "On behalf of everyone at JMU, I want to say thank you for their dedication and numerous contributions to the football program. It is a tough day because they are good friends and excellent football coaches. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors."
JMU Athletics Director Jeff Bourne is traveling today as a part of his role with the NCAA FCS Football Committee and will not be available for comment. He has provided the following statement regarding the JMU Football program.
I am aware that Coach Matthews announced today his decision regarding changes to his staff. I want to thank Coaches Durden and Malone for their years of service to JMU and our football program. Jeff and Chris have represented our program well and made a difference in the lives of many of our student-athletes. They both have my sincere best wishes for future success.
I support Coach Matthews and his leadership of our football program. In leading his team, Coach Matthews is responsible for all aspects of our program and achieving our expectations for success.
Our record this year, 7-4, and being excluded from post-season competition clearly is not our goal. We expect our football team to compete for the CAA Football Championship every year. Further, we expect our football program to reach and advance in the FCS Playoffs annually and be among the final teams in pursuit of a National Championship.

Hi Pip
Thank you so much for taking the time to read our interview and leave such a nice comment.
Sounds like you and Bridget had very similar beginnings. When Bridge came to live with us she was so ill she could not even have her shots until she was almost 6 months old. Mum paid a fortune at the dreaded V E T. So it just shows, these puppy farms are not just bad news for the poor dogs but also for the poor humans who are duped into buying them.
We are happy you got such a wonderful caring home Pip, we love you!

The Power to Reduce CO2 Emissions: The Full Portfolio
What the U.S. electricity sector must do to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in coming decades.
through AMI. Third, they are designed to be integrated with a smart electricity infrastructure at multiple levels—the distribution level, the energy management systems (EMS) level, and grid operations and planning. Consequently, while established research and commercial activities continue to develop core technologies for efficiency, PHEVs, and DER, parallel RD&D efforts are required to transform the distribution system into a smart enabling infrastructure.
Key research milestones and deployment targets include:
• By 2010, develop and deploy communication standards for AMI to ensure grid interoperability.
• By 2015, integrate AMI with smart resources, and complete pilot projects of distribution system optimization.
• By 2020, develop models for integrating smart resources with EMS, maximizing the energy efficiency benefit at the system level. Ensure smart resources can be aggregated into virtual loads and sources.
• By 2025, fully integrate EMS with distribution management systems (DMS) and smart resources. Ensure the seamless integration of smart distributed resources with distribution system operations and with the market for energy services.
Challenge 2: Transmission-enabled Technologies
Because the principal non-hydro renewable resources ( i.e., wind, solar) are intermittent, integrating large quantities into the generation mix will require significant transmission system enhancements. Specific challenges include insufficient transmission for wind farms in remote locations, voltage and power supply problems because of fluctuating energy output, high ramping burdens requiring added reserves, and limited reactive power control. This section describes the RD&D steps needed to equip the transmission system with the resiliency and flexibility necessary to operate under conditions where potentially 20 to 30 percent of electricity generation is produced by intermittent renewables.
Technology development pathways are described below for the transmission-enabled technologies that will enable greater penetration of renewable energy into the U.S. grid.
Utility-Scale Energy Storage
Because they are inherently less controllable, renewable-energy resources challenge grid operations. Wind power provides the most striking example, with potential remedies including better wind turbines, improved fault tolerances, more accurate wind forecasting, power electronics for stabilization and compensation, and electric energy storage. Of these, only electric energy storage offers a comprehensive solution to the grid challenges of intermittent generation. Decoupling intermittent generation from demand by allowing large-scale energy storage and discharge increases resource dispatchability and allows intermittent renewable resources to operate during periods of maximum efficiency.
Key research milestones and deployment targets include:
• By 2017, demonstrate an energy storage plant to support widespread integration of wind turbines.
• By the mid-2020s, develop energy storage technology based on nano-supercapacitors.
Grid Visualization Tools
Under-investment in transmission infrastructure relative to growth in electricity demand presents critical near-term concerns. Analytical and visualization tools can enable more accurate forecasting of renewable energy output and its impact on grid operations, providing operators with greater confidence in scheduling adequate capacity to meet energy requirements.
Key research milestones and deployment targets include:
• By 2015, apply new analysis tools to optimize regulation, reserves, and load-following requirements in regions with high penetration of intermittent resources.
• By 2020, develop visualization tools that more accurately reflect load and demand response capabilities, enabling higher wind penetration.

text: The heady life and even hipper music of Sly Stone – told here by an author who managed to get Stone's participation on the project! The book focuses most strongly on Sly's rise to fame and key late 60s/early 70s years – a time when his records not only changed the face of soul music, but also had a pretty big influence on rock as well. Kaliss also follows Stone through some of his more obscure years, and captures him during his recent comeback moment, too – although we'll be the first to admit that the vintage bits are the most interesting. The book features introductions from Stone and George Clinton, plus a nice photo section in the middle. 210 pages, hardcover. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Use foam eggs and spring fabric to create Easter bunnies this season. These Easter bunnies are easy to make, inexpensive and just adorable when sitting on any table of your home. Project designed by Heidi Borchers.
Materials (for each):
For each, using the serrated knife, slice small section off wide end of egg to flatten for bottom of bunny. Transfer patterns to fabric on bias and cut 3 body pieces, using pinking shears. Cut 3 more body pieces on bias using scissors. From remaining fabric, cut 1 (1-½" x 13") strip of arms and 4 (2" x 4-¼") pieces for ears, using scissors.
Starting at top edge and placing evenly around egg, glue the three body pieces with smooth edges and wrong sides to egg. Let dry. Glue the 3 body pieces with pinked edges to egg, covering uncovered areas. Let dry. Squeeze a thin line of glue on right side of 1-½" x 13" strip along 1 long edge. Fold over and overlap long edges of strip to form ½" wide tube and press into glue. Let dry. Insert 1 chenille stem into tube. Thread arm piece through handle of basket. Knot center of arm piece around basket handle. Glue ends of arms piece around basket handle. Glue ends of arms to egg near top. Glue Easter grass and eggs to inside of basket. Let dry.
For whiskers, cut 4 (3-½" long) strands of embroidery floss. Using photo as a guide for placement, glue floss whiskers, pom-pom nose and bead eyes to egg. Glue hat to top of egg. Let dry.
For each ear, cut 1 (2-¾" length from remaining chenille stem. Apply thin layer of glue to wrong side of 1 (2" x 4-¼") piece of fabric, using squeegee. Center 2-¾" long chenille stem lengthwise on glued piece, with l end of stem ½" from 1 short end of fabric. With wrong sides facing and stem sandwiched between, place another 2" x 4-¼" piece on top and press into glue. Let dry. Transfer pattern for ear to glued piece with chenille aligned with placement line. Cut out.
Glue ears to hat at back, Glue ribbon and trims to hat as desired. Let dry. Shape ears as desired.

Well, it's rarely really a decision as you can't "stack" armor per se. That said, do not underestimate the value of those necks, rings, and cloaks (and anything else) that has extra armor. It is a very nice way to boost up your effective health.
400 armor vs 1 or 2% avoidance isn't a good trade, but it's also not a fair trade, you'll see itemization trade it more along the lines of 400 armor vs 0.3-0.5% avoidance, which is a fair trade, but between two rather different survival tools.
So, the short answer? You don't need to trade one for the other, take the piece that you like better overall. Piece #1 is Str/Stam/Def and Dodge+Parry, while choice number to Str/Stam/Def and Dodge+Armor, grab the one with the better total (usually the higher level piece).
The more appropriate answer would probably be, between equivalent pieces, with Blood/Frost I'd favor Armor, and for Unholy I'd favor all the avoidance you can grab.

The two new additions, named the S-10 and S-12, make up RBH Sound's S Series, and are designed for either two- or multi-channel audio systems requiring robust, articulate bass from a small footprint at a fantastic value. The two new subwoofers are the embodiment of RBH Sound's commitment to producing audio products which meet the needs and wants of their dealers. "Our dealers are an invaluable resource when it comes to product design for value-driven products such as the S-10 and S-12," said Shane Rich, RBH Sound's Technical Director. "They provide us with the 'real world' aspect of our products, giving us insight as to what they really need for their clients, versus features that are just marketing hype."
The S-10 and S-12 both incorporate RBH Sound's proprietary aluminum cone technology. Bringing together a 10-inch aluminum cone woofer and a built-in 150 Watt amplifier in a tuned bass reflex design, the S-10 delivers pulse-pounding bass for small- to medium-sized rooms. The slightly larger S-12, with its 12-inch aluminum cone woofer and built-in 250-Watt amplifier, has more output capability and is designed for medium to large rooms. Both models utilize feature-laden, high-efficiency, class D amplifiers that facilitate easier installation and configuration with any audio system, regardless of the room or surround processor.
The S Series powered subwoofers are priced at $499/each for the S-10, and $699/each for the S-12. The S-12 is shipping now, and the S-10 is slated to ship at the end of this month.

Its breathtaking winter solstice illumination makes Newgrange a passage tomb of global significance. But did you know Ireland's quintessential wow moment is 5,000 years old?
Yep, 5,000 years. That's older than Stonehenge. It's older than the great Egyptian pyramids, too. And five millennia later, it hasn't lost any of its wonder.
But first things first: Newgrange can't be visited directly. If you're driving, set the Sat Nav for Brú na Bóinne/Boyne Valley (Latitude 53.694567, Longitude 6.4463) as opposed to Newgrange itself. Here, you'll find an interpretive centre where you can buy tickets, and proceed by shuttle bus for a guided tour. If you don't have a car, don't worry – day tours can be arranged from Dublin.
Arriving at the iconic tomb is a wow-moment, to say the least. Standing outside the 80-metre mound, shored up with spiral-engraved kerbstones and topped with white Wicklow quartzite, a guide reveals the myths and history behind the monument. Newgrange could have been designed as a tomb or a temple – in reality, nobody knows which. The truth will be shrouded in mystery forever.
Once the scene has been set for you as a visitor, you'll step inside the passage tomb itself, squeezing through standing stones carved with spiralling rock art and graffiti dating back to the 1800s (before Newgrange was taken into State care). Ducking under beams of wood, you'll emerge into the cool confines of a cruciform-shaped chamber, like a stony igloo squirreled away within a hill.
This inner sanctum is where a lucky few (chosen by lottery from thousands of applicants annually) huddle together to witness the annual winter solstice illumination. In this moment, when megalithic engineering and nature lock sensationally into sync, a shaft of light can be seen snaking 19 metres up the passageway, ultimately bathing the chamber in light. There are goosebumps, to say the least…
If you're not one of the lucky ones, don't fret. All visitors are treated to a simulated solstice, with an orange beam of light artificially showcasing the effect. It's a tantalising little taster – little wonder legend suggests that this was the site where mythological hero Cú Chulainn was conceived.
Newgrange isn't the only passage tomb in Ireland, of course. In fact, it's not the only passage tomb at Brú na Bóinne. Together with nearby Knowth and Dowth, Newgrange was declared a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1993. Not bad for a site that once looked destined to become a quarry!
Not far away, near Oldcastle, County Meath, you'll find a lesser-known cluster of passage tombs. Spotted around a handful of hills at Loughcrew are several cairns also dating from around 3,200BC. Because they're more obscure and harder to get to, the Indiana Jones effect is all the more titillating.
If you get the sense that you're being watched here, you may well be right. Some 60km away, atop of Slieve Gullian in County Armagh, the passage of another tomb points directly back towards Loughcrew. Slieve Gullian's two cairns lie on either side of a summit lake, with the southern tomb said to have a winter solstice alignment at sunset. On a good day, the views stretch as far as Dublin Bay.
