Almost - HP CLI is a good one to learn and varies slightly when compared to the Cisco one. Lots of schools use HP kit but Juniper kit is breaking through.
With regards to
This is the Key - Virtualisation is the future and one thing schools are going to start doing more and more where possible and budgets allow. Its also a vary complex area and it can be quite difficult to pick up on but once running is fine. Backup systems are crucial also lots of different software out there but without good backups you are destined to fail at somepoint IMHO.Other technologies such as virtualisation, SANs, backup systems etc shouldn't be too difficult to pick up on, I doubt I'd have to go into much depth with them.

CFO Women Competing on Sunday November 11
By Mike Minium
Watch this Sunday as Michelle stares down her judges
This Sunday, Mune, Aisha, Michelle M, Joey, and Connie will be competing in the Veterans Day Open, an Olympic Weightlifting competition taking place in San Francisco.
I'm really excited that all five of these women are jumping into the fray and putting their skills to the test. Olympic Weightlifting meets are a great way to give your training some focus and are usually pretty quick affairs (usually done within a couple of hours).
This will be Joey's third (?) meet, Mune's second meet, and the first meet for Aisha, Connie, and Michelle. All of them have been working hard on their lifts leading up to the meet and I can't wait to see it all go down on Sunday.
Hopefully we can get some of you over there to cheer them on. And at the very least, if you see them in the gym, wish them luck!
The women get started at 2pm.
All of the details related to the meet (directions, competition schedule, spectator fees, etc.) can be found here: 2012 Veterans Day Open

The Cleveland Browns have once again cleaned house with a completely new coaching staff and front office. Even the team ownership is new. Rob Chudzinski has been named the Browns new head coach and former Arizona Cardinals coordinator Roy Horton has been hired as the team's defensive coordinator. Both men have agreed that the Browns will change their defensive alignment to a 3-4 scheme in 2013. In order to do so, there must be some personnel changes and the first move was made on Tuesday as the team released DE Frostee Rucker. Rucker was a top free agent signing for the browns prior to the start of the 2012 season and played in all 16 regular season games for Cleveland this season. The defensive end compiled 48 tackles and four sacks last year. Rucker joined Cleveland after spending five seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals for five seasons. Rucker, 29, was considered a team leader in the locker room for the Browns by many accounts this season, but simply does not fit into the team's...

Minutes before 'Sleepy Hollow, A Musical Ghost Story' premiered last night at Booker High School, an all-female ensemble clad in matching striped skirts made their way to the front doors of the theater. The girls waited for Florence & the Machine to start playing over the speakers and gain the attention of the cocktail reception. As their audience watched through the theater windows, they danced, ultimately plowing through the doors into a round of applause.

New features in the GCC versions 4.3 and 4.4
All of the features mentioned thus far are available in version 4.3 of GCC, which is included by most distributions. The features that follow were added to the latest 4.4 version. The most important change here is improved multithreading support. The thread class from the thread library provides thread management methods.
Listing 2 shows how to start new threads and how a parent thread waits for a child thread to terminate.
Listing 2
Starting Threads
01 vector<thread *> active_threads(thread_num); 02 // Starte threads 03 for(unsigned int tn=0; tn<thread_num; tn++) 04 active_threads[tn] = new thread(worker,tn); 05 // Wait for child threads 06 for(unsigned int tn=0; tn<thread_num; tn++) 07 { 08 active_threads[tn]->join(); 09 delete active_threads[tn]; 10 }
The mutex library defines locking mechanisms. A simple example of the use of mutex is shown in Listing 3.
Listing 3
Example of mutex
01 mutex access_the_file; // Globale Variable 02 void a_function_that_runs_in_several_threads() 03 { 04 ... 05 access_the_file.lock(); 06 // This area is not simultaneously accessible by multiple threads 07 ... 08 access_the_file.unlock(); 09 ... 10 }
Additionally, support for the OpenMP parallel programming API is improved. The previous OpenMP specification required loop variables in a parallelized for loop to be of the int type. This restriction made it difficult to use OpenMP with STL containers. Version 3.0 of the OpenMP standard lifts this restriction; now, loops with STL iterators can be parallelized, as well as loops with int type loop variables, for example:
std::vector<int> vec(128); #pragma omp parallel for default(none) shared(vec) for (std::vector<int>::iterator it = vec.begin(); it < vec.end(); it++) { // work with iterator it }
STL containers previously had the disadvantage of not supporting initialization in C array style, as in int a[] ={1,2,3}. The new C++ standard changes this, as in std::vector<int> a{1,2,3}; the inializer_list class is used to implement this new syntax.
The development of the new C++ standard is not complete, and GCC is still catching up with some key new features of the standard. New regular expression components are not implemented in GCC 4.4.0; however, development is making rapid progress.
The part of the standard that governs atomic functions still seems to be under active development. Many function names were changed last year, and others were added.

Some BRIGHT News!!
Today, we are thrilled to announce that Ethiopian Orphan Relief has just partnered with General Electric for their "Partners in Giving" fundraising campaign through www.gegives.com
We are so proud to have been selected as one of three recipients and furthermore chosen for the ONLY service project. GE is sending a team of HR executives to Addis Ababa next week to complete a service project at EOR's long time partner Children's Heaven. GE and the team of HR executives will fundraise for completion of 2 service projects and the property expansion fund to enable the Children's Heaven girls to move to a larger facility.
The work that EOR has been in doing in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, specifically at our partner Children's Heaven is being spotlighted by GE as a organization for executives to donate their charitable giving too. Each donation made by GE employees will be matched.
This partnership has the potential to dramatically improve the situation at Children's Heaven. We are so thankful for the support of GE employees as they give with their hearts and volunteer time at Children's Heaven.
Please consider joining this great cause with a donation of your own. The EOR family has long supported these amazing girls at Children's Heaven and we know that the work being done there is literally breaking the cycle of poverty.
To learn more about our partnership visit here or to donate now please visit EOR's GE giving page.

Thanks to the incredible hard work and generosity of many, our 3rd annual Night of Warmth Live and Silent Auction was a huge success! I've finally emerged from the post-event paperwork vortex and am here to tell you it was a truly fabulous evening. We had a great turnout and raised just about $30,000 for our partners in Ethiopia! The most special part of the evening, for me, was when YOU raised your paddles for the girls of Children's Heaven. In just 10 minutes, we raised $9,000 for our new education program at Children's Heaven. Check out this photo of when we asked everyone to raise their paddle for $100…
I could barely breathe, looking out at the sea of paddles raised high into the air. It was a moment I will never forget.
I can also confirm that a good time was had by all. Although I was hard at work most of the evening, I heard from many that the incredibly music (thank you, Team DJ), food (the amazing Creativa catering), and atmosphere made for a truly great party. And of course I have these photos as hard evidence:
That's what I like to see! Our incredibly donors having a blast and doing some good at the same time.
Our Wall of Wine was, once again, a big success. We sold all 50 bottles and have set a new goal of 75 bottles for next year. Next time your visit your local wine shop, don't hesitate to pick up an extra bottle to donate to our Wall of Wine!
This year we added a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony to our event. A huge thank you to the volunteers from ETSS who came and shared such a special tradition with our guests.
Another HUGE thank you to our MC, Monica Day. Once again, she proved to be an amazing MC and auctioneer! I can say without a doubt that the success of our live auction is due in large part to the wit and personality of Monica Day.
Finally, a last thank you to the Night of Warmth Committee. You all put in some long hours to make this event the most successful yet. Thank you for sharing your time and considerable talents with EOR.
(she wasn't present for the picture, so everyone close your eyes and add in the fabulous Paige Chapman-Layland)
As you can see, the evening was a success in so many ways. The most important thank you of all is to YOU, our donors. Thank you for spending the evening with us and sharing our passion for improving the lives of vulnerable children in Ethiopia. I can't wait to report back to you on all the good that was done with the money we raised. Thank you again and see you next year!
I often wonder what my son will think of my work for EOR when he is older. He sees me run off to meetings and knows I sometimes miss tucking him into bed. After Night of Warmth, our Ohio fundraiser, my son asked how it went. He wanted to know if a lot of people attended the event and did we raise much money. He had asked, many times, what the money raised would be used for. So, when I told him that Night of Warmth made over $30,000 he was pretty excited.
He said to me, "You know, I can help get money for clean water". We talked about how he could help and he thought donating his birthday was a good idea (as long as I promised he'd still get a few gifts, too). On Saturday we had a huge birthday celebration. Many of our friends brought donations for EOR instead of presents. He opened his gifts and was really excited. When I told him that he made $185 for clean water he was all smiles. Then he said, "Mommy, we are really good at making money for EOR".
Here is a picture of EOR's first trip to Mekele, Ethiopia to visit our partner LOLA Children's Home. This picture was taken in November 2011 with the kids and our team of eight who travelled all over Ethiopia.
We were so impressed with Abebe Fantahun and his small, yet comprehensive program for HIV affected kids. This was the beginning of a long and successful partnership.
Lauren – Partner & Project Chair
Today is World Water Day. In honor of this, earlier this week Ethiopian Orphan Relief granted $10,000 to Water's 1st Dawo Kara project in Ethiopia.
Our partner Water 1st International is doing amazing work in a country where clean water is lacking over much of the country. Water 1st shares that Ethiopia is one of the world richest countries in terms of history, culture and heritage, yet is one of the poorest countries economically.
The burden of water collection is very high in Ethiopia. Women and girls spend hours every day collection water from distant sources. This time of collecting water is taking away from time they could be in school learning, working and much more.
Below is a photo provided to us a few days ago of a water point that YOU our amazing donors sponsored in the Gonbisa Kussaye in the Oromia region.
To date Ethiopian Orphan Relief has granted $40,000 to Water 1st for projects in Kelecho Gerbi, Tute Kunche and now Dawo Kara.
To learn more about Water 1st or to make a donation in honor of World Water Day please visit our website. Together, we can make clean water a reality for more Ethiopians.
The girls at Children's Heaven want to become doctors, nurses, and teachers. Night of Warmth, in Ohio, raised $9,000 to help provide these amazing girls an education.
YOU give them hope. YOU are making their dreams possible.
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." – Nelson Mandela
The UN theme for International Women's Day 2014 is Inspiring Change.
While most countries have made strides in development of women's rights, there is still much to be done. The UN reports: Many women around the world still cannot get access to secondary education. This holds true for the women and girls of Ethiopia. That's why we are so very glad that Ethiopian Orphan Relief is partnered with Children's Heaven. Children's Heaven's mission is to:
"Embrace and empower the precious orphaned girls entrusted to our care in an effort to minimize their socioeconomic vulnerability."
This is accomplished through various means of support. The 115 girls at Children's Heaven to go public school, receive tutoring, learn vocational skills, are provided with health care, and participate in a daily program all in an effort to…."see all our girls lead healthy an productive adult lives. "
Many of these services are provided by YOU, the supporters of Ethiopian Orphan Relief. Your donations advance the cause of Ethiopian women. Be proud of the work that you do. You make it possible to end hunger and poverty for the Children Heaven girls.
Ethiopian Orphan Relief is thrilled to share with you that in June 2014 we will be making our first grant of $25,000 to Children's Heaven's Education Fund. This grant will be used to send girls in the program to private school. Funds will be used for tuition, school supplies, books and transportation. Private schools in Ethiopia provide a much better learning opportunity, have higher qualified teachers, learning resources i.e. science labs, math labs, etc. and data has shown more success in their learning.
In addition to this $25,000 grant this June, we will grant an additional $25,000 for June 2015. This $50,000 Education program is groundbreaking for EOR and we are thrilled that you are joining us in this.
Last month in Ohio donors gathered at Night of Warmth and generously gave with their hearts to start the funding of this grant. In May, in Portland, Oregon all the proceeds from the silent auction in Lights of Hope will be designated to this grant.
Thank you for all YOU do for the children in Ethiopia.
— with Lights of Hope Auction.

Kate and Chris recently traveled to Copenhagen where they picked out a full shipping container's worth of mid century furniture, having recently begun importing amazing pieces for the launch of their online shop, Indre by Design. Last time I was in Houston, I stopped by and saw her beautiful pieces being unpacked in her downtown Houston warehouse. I thought I fell into 'interior design heaven' and couldn't help but leave with a piece for my bedroom (part of Apartment Therapy's Style Cure Makeover going on now!)

Varied audience levels in November; nevertheless the quality of music this month was exceptional. Ian Sherwood clashed with the Eddi Reader gig at St Georges, and he suffered being a newbie to the UK, however he will be back and he was outstanding. ARQ was well attended and the girls played their proverbial derrières off, ably supported by messers; Lodder and Birch. Tim Richards had a mega line-up on show, but not many did? Clive Gregson had a skinny crowd but gave his usual bravura show, in my opinion the best Ive ever heard him, great songs and vocals, absolutely amazing guitar picking and riffs, all served up with smashing humour.
As a tempter, Im offering a bit of a Christmas present for the last two gigs of the year. Both these gigs are in association with super bass player Michael Janisch and his record label Whirlwind. They are both top bracket gigs (!!!!) and feature some amazing musicians from predominantly, across the pond (see below).
Cheers, Ian
LUND Quartet
Sun 23 Nov 7:30 for 8:15 (£12/10)Hen & Chicken Book
Lund in Norwegian means a small clearing in a forest, a glade; and that mental image very ideally matches what these four guys are all about. Self taught pianist Simon has Norwegian heritage and it also happens to be his family name from those roots. Having come to this music from various backgrounds like Punk, Reggae, Classical and techno, they all seem to have simply elevated, simultaneously to this music.
This is cool, and possibly unique. ~ Igloo Magazine
I was later to find out they had been creating and practicing their unique brand of what is probably best described as Scandinavian effected, groove based jazz; that recalls Esbjorn Svenson with a lighter touch, and has rhythmic signatures that wouldnt be out of place in a high end cocktail club. They had been practising for months and months that ran to over a year plus, before even thinking about performing it live. A dedication thats quite rare.
When first I happened across these guys it was one of the weirdest yet delightful happenings Ive had. Id been invited by acquaintance Rob Salvidge (who I knew from BBC Radio) the Skipper of the good ship Matthew to a promotional event on board. Initially I couldnt find where in the docks they were meant to be boarding, and so I was meandering along by the Buttery opposite the Lloyds amphitheatre. It was a chill autumn night and the light had just about gone, and then I heard this eerie, light, strange sound drifting over the water. As I turned I saw the Matthew silently gliding over the moon cast still water like a swan, with LUND on deck under fairy lights, producing this totally ethereal sound. It made me laugh initially and then stand in awe as they floated (seemingly) by. I caught up outside the Arnolfini, listened to a full set and was smitten!
I invited them to play a proper gig at Future Inns and then encouraged them to enter a young musician competition event we did there; and they came a valiant second (to James Gardiner Batemans band, brim full of bright young Royal Academy things).
Since then they have flown to greater things, including launching their well received and beautifully put together debut album; simply titled LUND Quartet, ventured to the continent to play in places from Tallinn to many parts of France, and gigs around the UK at clubs, and festivals.
This is simply beautiful jazz music with a modern twist ~ Meme Magazine
Now they are ready to unleash more new material after a similar length of development behind closed doors. Im very happy to be putting this gig on tonight so we can all grab some more LUND. Do not miss this, you will be intrigued and yet enjoy every drop of sound.......read more
Brilliant. It's got something quintessentially Bristol about it, and yet something so different. It's jazz, it's turntablism and its great! ~ Richard Pitt, BBC Introducing
Bobby Avey Project (USA)
Sun 7 Dec 7:30 for 8:15 (£14/12)Hen & Chicken Book
I did try and put this gig on at the Colston Hall in the Lantern to use the baby grand piano, but the venue was not available, however this line-up is too good to miss out on (I kid you not) and so we have the Hen & Chicken as usual. We have given Bobby the option of piano or borrow/cadge/steal a high quality keyboard (carrying a Baby Grand up the stairs is not possible for a one-off gig). Both will be available to him, hell decide which he wants to use.
Praised by the New Yorker magazine as, "A young pianist of invention and refinement", Bobby Avey has established himself as an emerging star on the international jazz scene. Having won the highly esteemed the Thelonious Monk Competition in 2011, for composition, he has gone from strength to strength. A solo piano album entitled Be Not So Long To Speak, came out in April 2013. Ben Ratliff of the New York Times deemed it A record of mystery, patience, imagination and clear design. Keep an eye on this guy. A trio album followed and has led to this unique project and a line-up of current Most Wanted players stateside. Indeed Puerto Rican Miguel Zenon apart from gracing the bands of Kenny Werner, the stunning pianist Danilo Perez and Jeff Ballards group; is also on the front cover of Downbeat magazine in the USA for the month of December, and has a 5-page spread inside!
Bobby Avey is a current member of David Liebmans Expansions and the Dave Douglas Quintet. He is a past Yamaha Young Performing Artist on piano and graduated from Purchase Conservatory of Music, Summa Cum Laude 2007. Also in 2011 Avey received the New Jazz Works: Commissioning and Ensemble Development grant from Chamber Music America. The grant enabled Avey to travel to Haiti to record a Voodoo (Vodou in Haiti) Ceremony in the small village of Soukri and then create an hour-long suite grounded in rhythms found in Haitian Voodoo drumming. The suite, entitled Authority Melts From Me, pays homage to the Haitian Revolution and is his debut for Whirlwind Recordings. This tour is short and takes in venues such as The Bimhuis in Amsterdam, Band on the Wall, Manchester, Leeds College of Music, Pizza Express in Soho, London, the CBSO in Birmingham and us here in Bristol.......read more
Its really some masterful ensemble work. You cant help but wonder where the last hour went. As you restart the recording, you realize that you just dont care. ~ Mark Saleski
... [Avey] has created a cliché-free work of progressive jazz that's virtually cinematic in its intensity. Authority Melts From Me sees Avey break through as a composer of sophistication and depth. ~ Bradley Bambarge (Downbeat)
Oli Rockberger (USA / UK)
Sun 14 Dec 7:30 for 8:15 (£12/11)Hen & Chicken Book
Most folk know I have a scant regard for performers who profess to sing jazz. Many are called, few are able to get the timing, swing and feel of this music. Very different from singer songwriters in the acoustic field, who can create individuality of style and complex wordsmith capabilities that appeals across a broad spectrum. However, I do have a track record of recognising when someone does get it spot on, and strive to bring them to Bristol; whether established artists such as Norma Winstone and Kate Westbrook or from early stages of their careers, vocalists such as Liane Carroll, Tina May, Stacey Kent and Gwyneth Herbert. All female you shout. True, historically there have been not many guys to choose from; and maybe I should have promoted the likes of the very impressive Ian Shaw or Cleveland Watkiss, but I did put on Jamie Cullum at the M Shed in the year he signed his first record deal. If you like Jamie Cullum, this is your bag, but Oli has a more cutting edge approach and even wider style options.
When talent shines through I readily put my own misgivings away: Oli Rockberger sounds the real deal!! He straddles the styles of jazz and popular music that Cullum has captured very successfully and has heritage right back to Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra. Having won a scholarship to Berklee Music College in the States, he stayed on and moved to New York where he has gained much success. Hes since been back to perform at the London Jazz Festival and the very special Love Supreme Festival. If you like Jamie Cullum, this is your bag; but Oli has a more cutting edge approach and even wider style options
Whether you first discover singer/songwriter & pianist Oli Rockberger through his work as a solo artist, producer/arranger, studio keys sideman, or as 1/3 of acclaimed band/production team Mister Barrington, you will be sure to find a distinctive musical voice running through the rich and varied work he does. London born NY based Rockberger has appeared live/on recordings alongside Randy Brecker, Levon Helm, Gloria Gaynor, Jesse Harris, John Mayer, Steve Jordan, Chris "Daddy" Dave with Robert Glasper and Derrick Hodge, Nathan East, Jackie De Shannon, Steve Gadd and Les McCann.......read more
Oli can conjure up echoes of Randy Newman, Todd Rundgren and Peter Gabriel - yet still inhabit a sound world all of his own. ~ Jazzwise (UK)

Grant Details
|Grant Number:
|3U01CA069631-15S1 Interpret this number
|Primary Investigator:
|Daly, Mary
|Fox Chase Cancer Center
|Project Title:
|Philadelphia Breast Cancer Family Registry
|Fiscal Year:
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Philadelphia Breast Cancer Family Registry is a clinic-based family registry, one of six international collaborating Cancer Family Registry (CFR) sites sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The overall objective is to maintain, enhance and exploit the research potential of the B-CFR for use by interdisciplinary teams of researchers. Led by Mary B. Daly, M.D., Ph.D., Director of Cancer Prevention and Control at the Fox Chase Cancer Center (FCCC), the Philadelphia B-CFR has focused its early efforts on recruiting families who met the eligibility criteria for familial/hereditary breast/ovarian cancer. Genotyping for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations has been performed through the Clinical Genetics Laboratory directed by Dr. Andrew Godwin. In collaboration with Dr. Generosa Grana at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, NJ, we also extended recruitment, genetic counseling and testing to a cohort of minority families. We focused on a thorough documentation and review of pathology samples from affected family members. A rich resource of blood and tumor specimens has been collected and stored at Coriell Cell Repositories under the direction of Dr. Jeanne Beck. As a result of these efforts, we have assembled a cohort of highly motivated families, well characterized in terms of family and medical history and risk factor exposures, for use by the international community to conduct research. As one of the three clinic-based sites, we are in a strong position to translate the findings of the scientific community to the clinical setting and to the families who have become our partners in this research. In the next funding period, we plan to build on these accomplishments with a focus on our research agenda and the strengthening of platforms to accomplish our next generation of goals. Our specific aims are to: continue to conduct targeted recruitment of early onset, minority and mutation carrier families; coordinate a thorough effort to obtain standardized follow-up data on all participants; enhance the value of the Biospecimen Repository with renewable cell lines and tissue microarrays; continue to take an active role in all of the B-CFR working groups and newly defined platforms, and most importantly, utilize the resources of the B-CFR to address important research questions about familial and non-familial breast cancer. The Philadelphia B-CFR will take the lead in developing the Behavioral and Survivorship Platform to facilitate research in these areas for both CFRs as well as outside investigators. Public Health Significance: The B-CFR sites have formed a research partnership with over 14,000 families to speed discovery in the prevention, early detection and treatment of familial breast cancer. Through our continued partnership, we hope to understand the pathways of breast cancer risk and ultimately reduce that risk for all women.

I am excited, I looked at 6 cooking stores and a restaurant supply, attempting to find a larger cutter than 2". I'm doing a lot of baking for a large family affair soon, and wanted exact, perfect pieces of brownies, sheet cakes and kugels. As hard as I try with a knife, I can't get the same size pieces. Now, my baked goods will have a more appealing look when put on platters. Thank you for allowing a "home baker" to purchase from your store.

I understand what you are saying. It's fast, the screens are dirty and scuffed, most times the rink lighting sucks but after all that your shots still came out good and will look better with some work in lightroom The shot with the goalie in focus but the players blurred is something I was thinking of trying. It gives a surreal sense to the goalie's position - calm and focused while everything around is chaos.

Hello, I'm Waniou, and I'm here to give you a somewhat brief guide to how monsters attack you in WoW. Since this is the tank forum, I'm looking at solely things from a tank point of view so I really don't care at all about diminishing returns on crit rating and stuff. Just avoidance.
Firstly, very important update: As of 5.0, CTC capping is no longer possible, since block is now on its own special roll. Second important update: Block now suffers from diminishing returns.
1. The Combat Table
So, firstly, we look at how attacks on WoW are calculated. For normal attacks, WoW uses what's called a single roll system, so basically, when you or a mob attacks, a single random number is generated and the results of the attack are determined based on that. Think of it like rolling a dice. Say, for example, you have a 1/6 chance to be missed, you have a 1/6 chance to dodge and a 1/6 chance to parry. If you roll a 1, the attack is a miss, if you roll a 2, the attack is dodged, if you roll a 3, the attack is parried. Anything else and the attack lands.
This might seem unimportant but it has two very important results.
Firstly, avoidance is additive, not multiplicative. One of the common mistakes people make in coming into the game is getting that wrong. What's the difference? Well, if it were multiplicative, it would mean that first the game would calculate if the attack was missed. If it wasn't, it would then calculate if the attack was dodged. If it wasn't, it would then calculate if the attack was parried. This results in a different total avoidance to what it actually is. For the maths, you'd get
Avoidance total = (1 - (1 - dodge) x (1 - parry) x (1 - miss)
This is wrong. Don't use this. To get your total avoidance, you can simply add your avoidance stats together. Which leads to the second very important result: It's theoretically possible to become what is referred to as "unhittable". What this means is simply that any attack made against you will be avoided. If avoidance were multiplicative, this would only be possible if you had a move like Evasion (Which gives 50% dodge chance) on top of 50% dodge. With a combat table, you can have, say, 50% dodge, 45% parry and 5% miss and you'd be completely unhittable. With a multiplicative system, you'd still be hit roughly 25% of the time. This isn't too important unless you're interested in the maths of it, so to sum up, basically to get your total avoidance you simply add your avoidance stats (ie, miss, dodge and parry).
The combat table is filled out in that order, from top to bottom. Now, criticals are kept in for the sake of completion here (I've left out a few things that tanks need never worry about, such as glancing or crushing blows) but against bosses, the critical chance is always 0% due to your spec passives. There are mobs, however, who can crit despite having those talents but that's not going to be covered in this thread.
It's worth noting here that player attacks use the same sort of combat table (I'll touch on this later)
So, to fill out the table with some generic avoidance stats, we get this:
Anyone who's done any basic maths knows a list of percent chances needs to add up to 100, so whatever's not avoidance is chance to be fully hit:
This is where being unhittable comes in. If you can increase your avoidance stats high enough, you can reduce that hit chance to 0%. At this point, you're unhittable, but like I said, this will only ever be possible with short term buffs.
It's worth pointing out here, that mobs higher levelled than you have an innately higher chance to hit. It works out to be a 1.5% decrease to each avoidance stat per level above you, so for a mob one level above you, you lose 4.5% avoidance (Or 3% if you're a bear, since you can't parry anyway), and for mobs two levels above you, you lose 9% avoidance (Or 6% if you're a bear), and for mobs three levels above you (ie, raid bosses), you lose 12%. Wait! What's that? Shouldn't it be 13.5%, because it's 1.5% x 3 levels (4.5%) x 3 avoidance stats? (13.5%)? Well not quite, because you only have a 3% chance to be missed. You can't have a -1.5% chance to be missed, so it's 3% less miss chance, plus 4.5% each for parry and dodge. Or, well, 7.5% for a bear.
So the way this works in combat is similar to the dice roll I mentioned earlier. Every time a monster hits you, the computer calculates a random number between 0.00% and 100%, then based on that, looks up what that number corresponds to in the attack table and then does whatever with it. So, say, if it rolls a 3.67%, that becomes a miss. If it rolls a 17.91%, it becomes a dodge and so on.

This brings me to blocks. If you played before 5.0, you'd have heard of CTC (Combat Table [C]overage) capping, which involved filling up your combat table with blocks instead of hits. This is no longer possible. Blocks are now rolled after your avoidance. What does this mean? Well, it goes back to the multiplicative chance before. Say you a combat table like the one above, plus 65% block chance. Under the pre-5.0 system, you'd have a combat table like this:
You can no longer do this. Blocks are now rolled after your normal attacks, so 65% of the attacks that aren't avoided are now blocked instead. 65% of 65% is 42.25%, so 42.25% of all attacks made against you (Including the ones you avoid) are blocked, while 22.75% (35% of 65%) of all attacks made against you do full damage. If you like, you can pretend you have a combat table something like this:
This means you will never fill your combat table unless you have 100% block chance, or 100% of your other avoidance stats and Blizzard intends for this to only be possible with short term buffs such as Shield Block.
Critical blocks work on a third roll. After you block, it rolls a third time to see if the block was a critical.
This does bring up another question though, of where do absorbs (including Savage Defense and Blood Shield, or priest moves like Power Word: Shield) lie? As They're a unique case that's calculated after the attack table. If it's a miss, no damage is done to be absorbed, if it's blocked, only the reduced hit is absorbed.
There's another minor point to bring up: Special attacks. You may have heard the terms "white damage" and "yellow damage" floating around. Quite simply, white damage is your normal, melee auto-attacks (The numbers are white on your screen) and yellow damage is from your abities such as Shield Slam or Crusader Strike or whatever.
Yellow damage is special because it works on a 2-roll system. First, avoidance is calculated the same as above, then afterwards, it rolls again to see if it crits. Which simply means, if your hit and expertise rating are low, your special abilities will have a lower chance of critically hitting (Your normal melee attacks won't though, because they're on a single-roll system). Is this important for tanking? Vengeance means lolthreat and nobody's going around stacking crit rating anyway?
Unless you're a bear. I'll leave the details to bear specialists, but long story short, hit and expertise will give a bear more survivability because their Mangles will crit more, proccing Primal Fury more and giving more rage.
"But Wani! I don't want to keep having to add up my avoidance and doing funny things with calculating overall block chance every time I check my gear! How do I do it simply?" Don't worry! There is a macro that will solve your problems:
/run b=GetBlockChance() d=GetDodgeChance() p=GetParryChance() a=5+d+p+b*(95-d-p)/100 DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(string.format("%.2f", a).."% Avoidance")
Run that and it'll tell you your total avoidance. Simple!
And that's really all there is to the combat table. So now, we go onto the other topic of this thread:
2. Diminishing Returns
This is another this with a slightly confusing name because it shares it with another concept in WoW, which is diminishing returns on Crowd Control. Those who pvp a lot know that if you try to keep CCing an enemy player, the spell suffers diminishing returns, with a reduced duration. I won't go into the details but what it means is, say you polymorph that hunter. The first time, it lasts for 8 seconds. Second time, for 4 seconds. Then 2, then 1, then it becomes immune for a time. I have no idea if that's exactly how it works but that's the basics of it.
Why do I mention this here? For a very simple reason.
Avoidance diminishing returns do not work like this.
There is a unfortunately common misconception that, what avoidance diminishing returns means is that if you avoid an attack, the chance of avoiding the next attack is lower. This is not true at all and avoidance diminishing returns is nothing like this. If you have 10% dodge at the start of the battle, you will have 10% dodge after dodging an attack, you will have 10% dodge after parrying an attack and this will not change because you dodged or parried or blocked. It might change if you gain a buff, but not solely because of having dodged an attack earlier.
If anyone tells you that dodging an attack reduces the chance that you will dodge the next attack is telling you lies. It is in no way true and never has been true.
Forgive my repeated boldings, but I feel this simply is that important that it needs to be stated repeatedly.
Edited by Waniou on 10/3/2012 2:19 AM PDT
So, this raises the very important and very obvious question: What does avoidance diminishing returns mean?
It's really quite simple. Well, the maths isn't so much but the concept is very simple. As you gain more dodge rating, the amount of dodge you get per point is lower and as you gain more parry rating, the amount of parry you get per point is lower and if you're a warrior or paladin, the more mastery rating you have, the amount of block you get per point is lower. This is always in effect, there's no magic % where it starts kicking in. It just becomes harsher at higher levels of avoidance.
It's also worth pointing out that the three avoidance stats aren't linked in diminishing returns. Having high parry will not increase the amount diminishing returns affects dodge and vice versa.
Now, you're probably wondering, why do we have diminishing returns on avoidance? What's the point? Does Blizzard just hate tanks and want us all to suffer?
No, that's absurd. Diminishing returns are not a bad thing and exist for two main reasons.
Firstly, high avoidance is bad. Well, yes, we want high avoidance, but it's a bad thing for the game. When tank avoidance is really high (Like it was back in Wrath of the Lich King because of talents and not as harsh diminishing returns), in order to threaten tanks, bosses need to swing really really hard, which means that healers need to be able to heal for stupidly huge amounts, which means we have a fun wee rollercoaster ride from full health to 10% health, back to full health and the only challenge for healers is how quickly they can hit their Flash Heal button. By restricting tank avoidance, bosses don't have to hit as hard and healers become more limited by their mana, which is a more involved game for them and it makes things generally better for the tank/healer game as a whole.
The second reason is more subtle, but still important. If we don't have diminishing returns on avoidance, the more avoidance you get, the better it becomes for you.
To look at an extreme example, but it's one that illustrates the point perfectly, pretend you have 97% avoidance, and 100 parry rating will always give 1% parry. At the moment, only 3% of attacks make it through. You get an upgrade and it gives you an extra 100 parry rating over what you had. Now you've got 98% avoidance, so only 2% of attacks make it through. In other words, you've reduced the damage you take over the course of a fight by a 33%. After killing another boss, you gain another upgrade, giving you another 100 parry rating, so now you have 99% avoidance. This 100 parry rating reduced the damage you take by another 50%, making it about 50% better than the last 100 parry rating you got.
You can see how it works? As you gain more avoidance, your damage reduction increases exponentially, meaning the more avoidance you've got, the better it is for you. Again, this isn't something good for the game and diminishing returns keeps this in check.
So, to get into the maths of it, we have this lovely formula:
1 1 k
It's not too ugly (Although I say this as someone with a degree in maths) but you can clearly see from it that 1: Like I said, it doesn't change in combat depending on previously having dodged things) and 2: Like I also said, there's no magic number where it starts kicking in. There's no such thing as a dodge or a parry cap, where suddenly you don't want parry or dodge. The cap shown isn't a number you'll ever reach, it's what maths calls an "asymptote", meaning it's a number you'll never reach and the closer you get to it, the harder it is to reach.
Edited by Waniou on 11/3/2012 9:11 PM PDT
It's also worth pointing out that your base avoidance doesn't suffer from diminishing returns. This is the 3-5% your character always has, regardless of spec and gear. This also includes the avoidance you get from your base strength and agility (Not from extra strength/agility on gear or from buffs). Strip your character, right click off any buffs and that's your base avoidance and that's added on after all your avoidance from buffs and gear, which all does suffer from diminishing returns. Which probably sounds confusing, so say you're a warrior, so you have 3% base parry, then your gear gives you another 15% parry before diminishing returns. Say diminishing returns reduces your parry by 20%, so this will only work on the latter number, giving you 12% parry from gear and buffs, plus another 3% from your base parry, giving you a total of 15%, not 14.4% you'd get if your base parry also suffered from diminishing returns.
The obvious next question is where's the best place to be? Obviously, we want to lose as little avoidance as possible to diminishing returns. This becomes slightly complicated, unless you're a druid, because druids can't parry, or a monk because you won't find any parry leather. For druids and monks, just get dodge like you normally would and kinda ignore parry.
It's a little more complicated for plate tanks. As in, I'm about to maths a bit here. Dodge suffers much harsher diminishing returns for us than parry does, so in general, you want more parry than dodge (Contrast with WotLK, where it was reversed and parry was terrible because it suffered harsher diminishing returns, and Cata where you wanted them balanced). Where exactly is a much more complicated question that involves either looking at pretty graphs or using funny equations. Theck, being the awesome mathematician that he is, and having paid far more attention to the MoP beta than me gives us this one:
Ideal parry/dodge ratio: Cp/Cd - ((Cp/Cd)baseDodge - baseParry)/totalDodge
This looks funny because it's written in a funny way and you probably haven't studied maths like me. But basically, Cp and Cd are the diminishing returns caps from the formula above for parry and dodge respectively. So how can we use this formula? Basically, we can make a macro like this:
For warriors or DKs:
/run d=GetDodgeChance() p=237.1860*d/90.6425-((237.1860/90.6425)*5.01-3.22) DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Ideal parry for current dodge: "..string.format("%.2f",p))
Pallies have slightly lower base strength and a few different constant, so use this one:
/run d=GetDodgeChance() p=237.1860*d/66.56744-((237.1860/66.56744)*5.01-3.19) DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Ideal parry for current dodge: "..string.format("%.2f",p))
This'll give you how much parry you should be aiming for, for your current amount of dodge. Firstly, note that this doesn't mean you should sacrifice other, more important stats to maintain this balance. You really won't gain that much by doing this and this is sort of a "Do this last" thing. Secondly, note that this number will change if you're reforging dodge into parry. The less dodge you have, the lower the ratio the formula will give you.
Lastly, armour is also affected by diminishing returns in a similar way. The equation for this (above 85) is:
Reduction = Armor / (Armor + MobLevel * 4037.5 – 317117.5)
Like with avoidance diminishing returns, this isn't a bad thing and it basically means that armour is worth more-or-less the same for you, no matter how much armour you've already got.
I've probably gone into more detail here than was needed, but hopefully, this will clear up any questions.
3. Summary
So. Combat table is a single roll, then a second one for block. Your total avoidance is worked out by adding it up and if it's more than 102.4%, bosses can't hit you.
Diminishing returns simply means that the more dodge you have, the less dodge chance you get from dodge rating and the same for parry and block.
It's really not that complicated at all.
4. Ending stuff
My sources for this stuff come from
and for some of the MoP changes:
Thanks to all the OTers and other people around here who helped me get this information. You people are the main reason I come back to this forum :D

5. Appendix: More information if you care.
Here's a good post from Mnemonic, giving examples of why diminishing returns aren't as bad as it sounds. It's based in Cata, but the point still stands.
Skip down to the quote if you're only interested in the numbers.
The original attack tables guide (It's now locked) is available here: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1869253719
Might be still worth a read for some of the comments but much of the information is now outdated.

Also you wrote half the macro. You deserve credit for it as well!
Also for anyone wanting to go thru the comments of the original:

Throwing this in.
I tend to dislike thinking of it that way because people might multiply their post kings agility/str by those numbers instead.
There are two basic ways of look at it (using 100 unbuffed agility):
(1.05 kings)*(0.58)*(100 unbuffed agility)=0.61*100 unbuffed agility
(1.05kings)*(0.58)*(100 unbuffed agility)=0.58*(105 kings buffed agility)
Saying that its 0.61 after kings i think the average player will do this:
(1.05kings)*0.61*(100 unbuffed agility)=0.61*(105 kings buffed agility) which is wrong.
I know theck et al use 0.61 but they are not likely to make that mistake.

85 Dwarf Paladin
I am bringing this alt up. I have heard on other forums, maybe DK cause I am doing one of those too, that there is a DR with parry and dodge being too far apart. They recommend one being ahead of the other since they can get that buffed in the raid. This presentation does not mention a problem with that disparity. Is there a reason to have them close together?
Diminishing returns on parry and dodge are independant of each other. As an example, if you have 1000 parry rating, getting 100 more will increase your parry chance by the same amount whether you have 100 dodge rating or 10000 dodge rating. So basically, to get the most avoidance, you want to minimise how much you lose to diminishing returns, which is why you want to balance them out.
But you're kinda right, getting buffs will affect your avoidance because you get more avoidance from agility than strength, and the way Kings/MotW affects your agility is different to how it affects your strength (Because you'll have about 10 times as much strength as agility). If you look at the two macros there, you'll see a +549 and a *1.05, that's the macro taking that into account. If you get your parry that much more than your dodge, when you get full raid buffs, you'll have your dodge/parry perfectly balanced.
A question regarding the DM macro for Dodge and Parry. I run the macro and it gives me a number of say...keep 150 parry rating over dodge. What if I am like twice as stacked in the parry % than dodge? I guess what I am trying to ask is... Should I reforge all my parry to dodge to keep it with in the desired rating? I currently have ~10% dodge and ~16% parry.
90 Blood Elf Paladin
Is the avoidance formula assuming certain talents within the tanking tree of a given tank-class, or does it just go from the raw numbers? I just want to make sure I'm using it right before I start tweaking my gear to hit the right numbers.
In preparation for 4.2 my new macro:
==Paladins/warriors/dks using mastery food===
/run local _,s,p,n=UnitStat("player",2) print("Must be unbuffed. Try to keep Parry Rating this much higher than dodge: "..string.format("%.2f", 0-(((UnitStat("player",1)+549)*1.05-UnitStat("player",1))*0.27)))
If you prefer a macro giving a positive number this is the same thing:
/run local _,s,p,n=UnitStat("player",2) print("Must be unbuffed. Try to keep Dodge Rating this much higher than Parry: "..string.format("%.2f", (((UnitStat("player",1)+549)*1.05-UnitStat("player",1))*0.27)))
===Using dodge food===
/run local _,s,p,n=UnitStat("player",2) print("Must be unbuffed. Try to keep Parry Rating this much higher than dodge: "..string.format("%.2f", 90-(((UnitStat("player",1)+549)*1.05-UnitStat("player",1))*0.27)))
If you prefer a macro giving a positive number this is the same thing:
/run local _,s,p,n=UnitStat("player",2) print("Must be unbuffed. Try to keep Dodge Rating this much higher than Parry: "..string.format("%.2f", (((UnitStat("player",1)+549)*1.05-UnitStat("player",1))*0.27)-90))
