thanks, it makes sense to me now
Effective Avoidance would be the percent of the remaining chance you have to be hit (not avoiding) that you are reducing. In example form:
I have 50% avoidance so the chance I get hit is 50%. Lets say I can get 5% more avoidance. This gives me 45% chance to be hit, which is a 10% reduction on the previous 50% hit. This 10% is the Effective Avoidance measured.
This is what motivates the need for diminishing returns because 10% avoidance is better when you have more avoidance. This is offset by the diminishing returns making dodge rating (or parry) give less avoidance. So the interesting thing to compare is dodge rating (or parry) versus effective avoidance and we see that it is roughly constant.
thanks, it makes sense to me now
Very well said, Doormat, that's exactly the thing that more people need to understand so we can stop hearing, "avoidance has diminishing returns!! It's just not worth investing in!"

I skimmed this thread, but reading this has really reminded me of this great thread that never got updated for 3.x:
I guess this is partly because most of what is relevant from that thread applies to when you could get 70%+ avoidance, making each additional % reduce the chance of an X-long strings of hits by a significant amount.
Now with dim returns, you're never going to get enough avoidance to rely on being safe from a string of even 4 hits in a row. Because of this, EH gearing really has taken over. Although avoidance is not bad specifically because of DR, the fact that you can't realistically reach 70% avoidance, coupled with the fact that many bosses will two-shot you in the absence of heals, means you can't gear that way.
>.> skim doesn't equal read apparently.
At 60% avoidance (which is not terribly hard to reach), your chance of being hit 3 times in a row is only 6%.
I think that's the point here, effective health always has its stalwart proponents, though some of them think it's because avoidance is a poor investment.

I was curious how much HP you gain in % from a gem relative to how much you HP you already have. Same for how much dodge you gain relative to what you already have.
Here's the spreadsheet showing workings (you can put your own figures in), and check my workings.
For me, a 24 stam gem gains me 0.79% health (using 3.2 DK mechanics).
A 16 dodge gem provides a relative gain of 1.07% dodge (ie. I go from 26.17 to 26.45, which is a 1.07% gain).
BUT how much benefit does that give me to avoiding three hits in a row, if I swapped 3 stam gems for 3 dodge gems?
Only 0.55% less likely to have three hits (I'd get 9.94% chance with dodge gems, compared to 10.49%).
Pretty crap really. Does make avoidance talents even more worthwhile though, since gemming for dodge still doesn't look great to me.

Satorri, 60% avoidance is more than I have raid buffed (Rawr says 58.5%), and a 6.4% chance of something really bad happening is completely unacceptable. Would you like to have a 6.4% chance of being crit?
Even if you gear/gem for avoidance, you can't get past about 67% and still have respectable EH stats. You start to drop below 40k raid buffed if you want to get higher--even sacrificing all that EH, you still get a 3.6% chance of a string of 3 hits. Now that you've reduced your stam from 48k to 40k, you're probably going to die in those 3 hits, which will still happen unacceptably often.
Like I said, in TBC you could stack avoidance to like 80% pre-Radiance, and even on Brutallus, the hardest hitting boss, he'd only hit for 7k MH and 3.5k OH, when tanks had 22k+ life. You didn't have Vezax hitting you for 60% of your life each swing. You didn't have Patchwerk hatefulling for 70% of your OTs' life bars every second. Even Hodir's individual hits hit really hard, over 20k apiece. You simply can't rely on avoidance preventing X-hit long strings--because the X required to survive has decreased, yet actual reachable levels of avoidance makes those Xs impossible to prevent.

I'm talking about the relative gain "(ie. I go from 26.17 to 26.45, which is a 1.07% gain)."
I slightly updated my post to make that more clear.
he's talking about % before / % after gains.
so like he had 26.17 dodge, then he gemmed 16 dodge, and his dodge went to 26.45 that's a .28% increase
.28 / 26.17 = .010699 or 1.07% gain.

I guess my confusion began where he went from comparing a health gem to a dodge gem with no tie from what it can see... but it could be my brain is hurting since I worked till 3:30 am and was back at 9 am.

A downside to avoidance stacking that we don't always talk about is the nature of main tank healing in WoW. Basically, it's a preemptive spam fest. Healers almost constantly have a heal in the pipe for a tank at 100% HP, especially in fights where 2-3 shots are guaranteed to happen. I believe you're going to get far more out EH until healers have to conserve their mana and heal reactively. More fights need to be like Vezax hard mode when it comes to how healers manage their mana.

But I see a LOT of comments going around the forums, all the time, on the WoW forums and on here, that are just plain wrong. Comments like, "After 20%, adding more dodge is really bad because of diminishing returns." Like avoidance is okay at low levels, but then diminishing returns make it less and less useful because you get less % per rating.
It's almost as bad as the old "... must get 25% Block so Shield Block will push Crushes off the table." I know you remember those.
My calculations and graphs were done to show that avoidance essentially DOES NOT diminish in terms of the benefit you get per rating point. More avoidance is always useful, no matter how much you currently have.
But I swear there are a lot of people out there that think that gaining 1 Stamina at the expense of 30 Dodge Rating is a good tradeoff. Haha.
The person above showed two good examples, Vezax and Hodir. They hit hard. The healers are healing pre-emptively, maybe canceling at the last minute if a hit is avoided, maybe not if mana is not an issue.
But in both of those fights, there are also bad things hitting the healers and forcing them to move. Shadow Crashes and Mark of the Faceless in the Vezax fight. Blue runes on the ground in the Hodir fight. Maybe 2-3 healers assigned to you have to move at the same time. If so, there may be a delay in healing reaching you. You get hit for 20,000, then 20,000, then 20,000 again... if all your healers are moving at once or are slow reacting, or whatever... if you avoid one of those 3 hits, you live, if not, you die. That's where avoidance is still beneficial.
So continue stacking EH. It's more reliable. It's necessary for hard-hitting bosses if you want to reliably beat the encounter.
But don't entirely ignore avoidance. Maybe use some 8Dodge/12Stam or 8Def/12Stam gems to pick up some socket bonuses.
Besides, most of the time when you are making a decision on gear, you're not trading avoidance for stamina or armor anyway. You're usually deciding between avoidance or threat stats, Expertise, Block Value, or Hit vs. Defense, Dodge or Parry. If you're not having trouble holding threat, go for more avoidance, IMO. The Ulduar crafted belt and boots are good examples. Tons of avoidance on those pieces, in addition to high EH. They are great pieces. And adding more avoidance is never bad, and its benefit does not diminish.

Kerg, absolutely. The conventional wisdom that avoidance diminishes to near-uselessness or even just inferiority as you get more of it is wrong. Each avoidance stat gets better the more of the other you have, and gives you just as much benefit the more of itself you have.
The problem is, of course, it's not all that great to begin with.
(Although I disagree--we're often choosing between avoidance and stam. Socket bonuses are the biggest example: would you trade 6 stam for 8 defense? What about 3 stam for 6 dodge? Also you choose between armor and avoidance often, rings, Saronite Plated legs, etc.)
Yep. I think people just have a hard time with absolute versus relative values when it comes to stuff like this. The DR only applies to the absolute value, but when you look at the relative value, you see you got a nice increase, regardless of the DR on the absolute.
But on the 8 armor slots, usually same level gear has the same armor (Saronite Plate Leggings being the exception), and roughly similar stamina. Most of them have defense, too, in similar quantities. The main differing factor on those pieces (and those are by far the highest stat pieces) is usually they pick 3 of the following stats: Dodge, Parry, Block Rating (lawl), Block Value, Expertise, or Hit. That's what I was referring to.
For rings, cloaks, and necks there are a handful of high armor pieces so you can trade one of the above for more armor, which is an EH vs. avoidance choice. Stamina on those pieces is fairly similar, though.
So I still say the majority of the time when you're talking about trading bulk stats, it's threat vs. avoidance, not EH vs. avoidance. And I see people stacking threat stats through the roof at the expense of avoidance (maybe because they believe avoidance is gimp due to diminishing returns), when in all of WotLK threat is a joke in all but 2-3 fights, Vezax, Hodir, and maybe Malygos, and that is due to the hyper buffs that the dps gets in those encounters. For the rest of the fights, there are a lot of wasted threat stats people are stacking that would be better used for avoidance, IMO.
If you're not close to getting threat pulled off of you, more threat stats are 100% useless. And even in fights where it is, it's often easy to solve that problem by telling your hunters/rogues to throw you some misdirects/tricks. Easier than telling your healers to play better. At least that has been my experience...
Here is my armory if anyone is interested in how I gear...
The World of Warcraft Armory
I doubt anyone would call me an avoidance tank. But I do usually go for the gem bonuses with Regals/Endurings if I can't cheat out of it with a JC gem (won't be possible in 3.2).
Last edited by Kerg; 07-01-2009 at 09:45 PM.
While I disagree with using it as justification that EH is somehow better, I think Nadir's point is a very important one.
I took a couple of holy pallies to a 10m Vezax, they hadn't done it before. You become immediately aware just how much holy pallies do NOT have to be remotely careful with their mana to be most effective. Blizz is making a big move to fix that (halving Illumination), I hope it does some of the trick. Having been a healer and a tank, loving both, and being a game mechanic nut and strategist, it pains me that the most effective Holy Pally method is to spam to the tune of 60-80% overhealing.
All said, I trust to Blizz. They don't always get things just right the first time (who does?) but they're always trying to course correct in a good direction, and more often than not they do so in a pretty careful way.

This is Mike Tindall as you've never seen him before – oiled, shirtless and looking moodily into the distance as an underwear model.
Zara Phillips' husband shows off his buff physique for a charity calendar in a black and white photo that leaves little to the imagination.
'Mr June' joined some of his England rugby teammates in stripping off for Rugby For Heroes - of which Mike is patron.
The new organisation, which is run by players, aims to raise money for ex-servicemen.
Founder Alan Lamb, whose son Ryan plays for Northampton Saints – said Mike was a bit reluctant the start of the photoshoot.
"Some of the players, frankly, didn't need an awful lot of persuading but some of them were quite shy and reserved, particularly Tins," he said – referring to Mike.

Kris Humphries on Divorce Filing: NOOOO!!!!!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
The divorce papers are in, but Kris Humphries refuses to believe it.
In his first official statement since Kim Kardashian legally asked the court to dissolve their marriage, due to "irreconcilable differences," the former New Jersey Nets forward doesn't sound willing to accept his relationship's fate.
"I'm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents," Humphries said in a statement. "I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce... I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work."
Where did it all go wrong for Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian?!?
It sounds very much like it's too late, however. Kim issued a statement of her own today, saying the decision was not easy, but the marriage is very much over. Who could have possibly seen this divorce coming? Oh. Right. Everyone.
Of cosrue, can never make anybody happy. I appreciate what you're doing and didn't mean to hi-jack the comments here. I apologize for that. Anyway, keep doing what you're doing. Thank you!
Some people just are not meant to be , and sometimes you don't figure it out until it's to late . They both made a mistake and it's not the end of their life journey they both still have the chance to go and find true love , I don't think either Kim or Kris should be criticized for what happens because whether you want it to or not everything happens for a reason.
No disrespect to Bruce Jenner...his fame was earned. Kris jenner manipulated kim into thinking kris H. Was "the one" all for the sake of ratings. Khloe and kourtney r nobodies. If kourtney didn't have scot she'd be invisible. And kims husband is right kim was getting fat not phat!
Of course kim k's family wanted him out! They're living of kim's fame and fortune especially khloe...who is she? Nobody.
please tell me some more about it. Thanks.
Kim u re d worst celebrity ever.i can't imagin u married for 72day nd wake one mornin nd file for divorce.nw i knw u were after his money kim not love, if u truly love him u would hv put up with is character all u want was his money.
I would've divorced that Frankenstein too lol
Good grief! It amazes me how many people think that Kris is just the 'good ole boy!' Ask yourselves....would you put up with his attitude? I'm sure you have watched the show and he's a selfish whiny little boy and he was warned that this wouldn't work. He thought that if he got the marriage through, he would dictate. GUESS WHAT?? WRONG!! Good for Kim! I wouldn't have put up with him as long as she did, but I've never been that desperate to get married!
Poor Kim. Although i do not agree with divorce i do feel bad. Seriously. She is humiliating herself. With her the best and just an fyi she does not love hard she lust hard beacuse if it was love she would not let her fancy lifestyle get in the way of it she would have worked though it. Gotta say im disappointed she didn't. Only she knows what she wants and honestly people if you don't like the kardashians don't keep up. There is no need to bash them guess you have nothing better to do with your life.
Irreconcilable differences? Ha. She should have that thought about that before she married him. "She also did not want to hurt people" She ended up hurting everyone that gave gifts which now she plans on donating lol. Here is what she should do, return the gifts and donate her own money. Now she gets to include that shit in her taxes lol. She needs to get a clue her looks will not last forever but then again she knows why she did it. Hope the judge says no and makes them attend counseling.

Breakfast is good, rooms could be better.

Every thing excellent
Everything what you expect from a four star hotel.
Bad wifi.
Everything about this Hotel was very good to Excellent. The staff could speak English.The rooms were very clean and well maintained. The roof top garden and pool were also excellent. I really find it had to fault. Had a great stay there and would certainly return in the future.
Nothing much, except the roof top Bar could open say late afternoon rather than leaving it until a crowd of people arrive then open it, this would be especially good during the summer season.
Eduardo did a great job during breakfast - very helpful!
Poor location - Hotel situated on busy duel carriageway a short drive from San Marino. Not a nice looking hotel - reception staff mediocre!

AMD: Windows-8-on-ARM app compatibility is relative
The matter of whether existing Windows applications will run on Windows 8 on ARM – putting them on tablets – has been kicked back and forth a lot this year. Intel this spring pointed out that Windows applications running on x86 for PCs won't run on Windows 8 on ARM. Intel senior vice president Renée James, speaking at an …
For most of us it's not so much as to whether there needs to be alternative versions of Microsoft software available for ARM, but more whether the licensing models will cover installation on any platform.
If Microsoft decide to get greedy and start saying that ARM-based devices require a separate special license for software like Office that aren't covered already in volume licensing and/or retail licenses then people aren't going to shell out for it.
I hate to say it, but I'm half-expecting Microsoft to discourage local installations of Office for tablets anyway, and try to push Office 365 on everyone. They do tend to have a certain tendency towards blindness to the fact that most people out there don't have always-on, always-active high-speed internet connectivity that never fails.
Freeky de ja vu
I'm sure I read this article yesterday along with some comments...
News flash! The Register invents time machine!
Anyway, this is hardly news - more like AMD trying to protect market share with scaremongering.
News flash! You have to target your code to the processor you want it to run on!
Windows on Intel
I have a Vista laptop and an XP desktop migrating to Win7, and at home a MBP. I have applications that didn't work moving from XP to Vista (including Acrobat!). I have applications that won't run on Win7 (They will be hosted on Server2003 using citrix / rdp). Also the Intel Office suite doesn't run on the Intel Macbook (in OS X).
Seriously, does this "won't run on ARM" really matter?
If MS does this right, they will even have a layer so that the more-powerful x86 machines can run ARM apps, and then people can even get ARM apps and upgrade to an ARM portable later.
Clearly they are going to re-write Word in JavaScript and HTML5.
already does not work right
Windows already barely works -- let alone on odd hardware!
Deja Vu?
Anyway, ironically DOS applications will be fine.
I hope MS have learned from the past
How many developers bothered to port their apps to Itanium, or PowerPC, or Alpha or MIPS when Windows has dabbled with those architectures?
It's a huge pain to build, test, package and support multiple copies of the same product for multiple platforms. Placing the burden on developers to do this is going to stifle interest in any ARM tablets.
If Microsoft were smart they'd produce something analogous to LLVM so devs could target an architecture agnostic virtual platform and a runtime would ensure it just worked irrespective of what CPU was underneath.
Well, duh.
Applications written specifically for Windoze 8 will be written in .NET and will therefore run on any architecture. What *won't* work is a legacy Win32 app compiled for x86 running on an ARM device.
Microsoft's continued monopolization of the PC space is built upon all of those legacy Win32-x86 applications. If they won't run on Win8-ARM then there's no reason to buy ARMdoze -- everyone will simply continue to buy Android and Apple devices.
What's the problem?
x86 code has been running on ARM chips for decades. So what's the problem?
Rosetta anyone
maybe Steve can call Tim and borrow Apple's Rosetta ... which seemed fine for getting PPC code apps to run on Intel... until Apple decided to drop it..
I think it is as much a case of if all Windows 8 ARM apps will run on x86 systems
I am starting to think of this as a new tablet OS for ARM, when the tablet apps will also run on x86 PCs/Notebooks.
Now will MS-Office run on a ARM based system?

Skinning non-aero capable desktop
Apologize if this has already been answered, but I have a tablet PC with the infamous Intel 915 chipset -- which does not support Aero. The salient scores from the WEI for my box are: Desktop performance for Aero 1.9, 3D .. graphics performance 1.0.
So I bought and installed Windowblinds 7 beta, and confirmed it works great on the same box in Vista (it's a dual-boot with Vista and Seven). But it does not work in Seven. I only get windows classic with WB installed and Basic without it. I've posted on the Stardock forum, even sent email to Stardock support, but no one's come up with any solutions.
I've look through some of the skinning threads here, and it looks like you need Aero working to use the patches. I'm not eager to start patching system files if it's known in advance that such changes won't work.
So, does anyone know if the uxtheme-associated patches will work on a non-Aero capable machine? Has anyone tried this and confirmed it?
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2009
a visual style is defined by an .msstyles file. the default style, aero.msstyles, includes both the aero interface and the light blue basic style. both can be skinned the same way, and the uxtheme patches should work fine on non-aero systems.
there are not many basic style mods out there. i saw a pack on deviantart yesterday that had a bunch of colour variations, but that's about it. most visual styles that are currently available to download will change the aero style, but the default style will stay intact. give it a few more weeks though, and more skins will start showing up. i've yet to see a really nice one, like some of the xp/vista skins that come out these days. i can't wait for a nice shiny dark glass skin!
anyway, as for patching, get uxtyle. it works in memory, so no system files to mess with. it's free.
UxStyle - no more patching.
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2009
Windows 7
If your hardware isn't up to support Aero, there is little much you can do to get it working. I can't recommend patching any system files, as I have seen too many people hose their systems by doing so.
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2009
Thanks for the info and the link. I'll give it a try.
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2009
here is the colour pack i mentoined. it turns out it just skins the taskbar and start menu. author mentions window borders are 'coming soon'. this was just posted a week ago, so keep an eye on it.
Windows 7 Basic Replacement by ~UntitledGame on deviantART
anyway like i said, in a few weeks things will pick up.
though i hope you get your windowblinds issue sorted! i'm not going to commit to WB just yet, by next spring i bet there will be lots of amazing WBs out there for 7, and i'll probably upgrade then...
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2009
Thanks again.
I installed the file and confirmed that the Unsigned Themes service is running. I downloaded a theme from DeviantArt (Pristine -- not the one you mentioned), expanded the archive, and copies the files into the Resourced folders and rebooted the machine.
I've confirmed that the Unsigned Themes service is running but when I go into Personalization and look at the themes, there's no mention of Pristine.
So, is there a forum anywhere that you can recommend that I can peruse to see how this is done? I don't want to take up this forum with my personal theme problems.
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2009
it's not going to show up in Personalization under themes. just double-click the .theme file itself, and the associated .msstyles file should be applied.
this is why i prefer AveStyler. it does basically the same thing as UxTheme, but it actually has a GUI, and it shows live previews of the theme you're about to apply. the only difference: AveStyler costs 3 euros...
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2009
I did that (to the Pristine theme) and got an error popup saying "This theme can't be applied to the desktop".
So, if I understand what you said earlier, I have to hunt for Basic-specific themes, right. The vast majority of themes out there, I would imagine, are Aero-specific themes.
I'd just like to get a theme working with UxStyle. I found their website and read through most of their posts, and no-one said anything about using Basic themes. So, maybe it simply doesn't work unless you're using Aero.
Also, I looked at the Windows 7 Basic Replacement archive you linked, and it looks like it will patch the uxtheme file -- which I'd rather avoid for now.
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2009
i'm quite certain that style changes are not limited to people running aero...
by the way, are you sure the Pristine visual style you're trying is for Windows 7? i can't find it on DA, all i see is one that's for Vista...
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2009
But have a bigger problem right now ... downloaded and installed another theme from DA (called Luna 7) which IS supposedly for Seven Basic, and not only did the screen styles NOT change, I can't do hardly anything in Seven anymore! I can't access System Restore, I can't open an elevated command prompt, in fact, doesn't matter what I type in the Start area, it doesn't get read. I'm posting this from my dual-boot Ubuntu OS installation.
Fortunately, I did a complete image backup BEFORE I started messing around with the styles, so I have to do a complete restore -- and that will take a while. Probably won't be getting back here today unless that goes really well.
Thanks for your help, BTW.
Update: OK, I'm back. Ran "sfc /scannow" first and it found problems but said it couldn't repair them. <Sigh> So much for MS utilities. Ran ATI Home restore and, 15 minutes later, I'm back in business.

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- Beach-goers will notice equipment on Bonita Beach and Lovers Key as Lee County Natural Resources continues work to renourish the beach, adding sand and stability for the popular south Lee destinations.
Heavy equipment is expected to be on Bonita Beach starting Wednesday, June 25, with work beginning June 30 and proceeding north to south for about five weeks.
The estimated start date for Lovers Key is Aug. 1, with work completed by late September and two dredges working simultaneously from both ends toward the middle. A portion of Little Hickory Island Beach Park will close for the last three weeks of the Bonita Beach project, resulting in a reduction in available visitor parking. Beach access will still be available to Bonita Beach as well as Lovers Key during construction for all areas except for a 500-foot zone where sand is being actively placed.
The projects consist of adding sand to 0.8 miles of Bonita Beach and 1.1 miles of Lovers Key Beach. These new projects include the renourishment of about 9,800 total linear feet of beach, which requires about 401,000 cubic yards of sand that will come from two permitted borrow areas adjacent to Big Carlos Pass. Using off-shore sites for sand means there will be no trucking involved in the Bonita Beach or Lovers Key projects. Turtle monitors will move nests that are laid in the path of the beach equipment as it moves down the beach.
The project is being done by Lee County with additional funding from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the City of Bonita Springs. Combining projects is estimated to have saved taxpayers $1 million; total cost will be about $5 million.
The projects were in the planning phase when in June 2012 Tropical Storm Debby brought storm surge and high waves to Lee County's shoreline for three days. It caused extensive damage to dunes and the high-beach area.

In the air: Clarkson is driving Times web ads push
By Gideon Spanier
Times Newspapers is investing heavily in its new used-car website, called driving.co.uk, which will be backed up by a print supplement in the Sunday Times, which will debut this weekend. Driving.co.uk does not sit behind the Times paywall and it has been seen as a threat to Auto Trader, the online market leader, which is jointly owned by Guardian Media Group and Apax Partners. But Top Gear, the BBC-controlled magazine and brand, which carries a lot of car advertising, might also have mixed feelings about the Sunday Times' decision to expand its online motoring presence. Jeremy Clarkson, the star presenter of Top Gear, is certainly in an intriguing position as he is also a Sunday Times columnist and features heavily on the homepage of driving.co.uk.
* Eureka, the monthly science magazine produced by The Times, is closing. The last edition of the mag, which was shortlisted for a British Press Award in 2010, will come out tomorrow. Eureka appears to have fallen victim to austerity, raising fears of more cuts.
* The Guardian did not host a party at this week's Labour conference. Was that because the Left-wing paper is still cool on Labour, after endorsing the Lib-Dems in 2010, or because management must cut costs after losing £44 million last year? The Guardian remains on the hunt for voluntary job losses. The rumour is only around 30 have been found so far — below a target of around 70-100. A strong union presence has ensured the paper's house agreement about no complusory editorial redundancies has not been tested, but some wonder if that can last.
* Page two of the Financial Times is not where one would normally find a photograph of two men playing amateur football but Monday's Pink 'Un had such a thing. It showed Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls playing in the annual fixture between the Labour party and the Westminster press gallery. The second man in the photograph was not identified in the caption but it was perhaps obvious why the paper chose that particular shot. It was George Parker, political editor of... the FT.
* When is ITV finally going to launch its online micropayments service? After many months, even years, of delay, the Downton Abbey broadcaster is rumoured to be keen to go live within weeks. ITV executives are apparently getting anxious with the launch of YouView, the internet-enabled TV set-top boxes, and the rise of the "backwards EPG", the electronic programme guide that allows viewers to catch up on TV from the last seven days without having recorded it.
* Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal was asking for trouble when it sent this out on Twitter: "Why are people so nasty and aggressive to each other online? Join our live chat at 11:30 am." And the first response was: "Another idiotic article from that FOX/Murdock/WSJ propaganda machine. ITS ALL THE FAULT OF GEORGE W BUSH! and Obama is still an IDIOT! so there!"
* Former Guardian media correspondent James Robinson has produced a crime thriller about phone-hacking, called Hacked To Death. "It's murder and sex — just like working at The Guardian," says Robinson, who is married to ex-GMTV political editor turned Labour MP Gloria de Piero. Robinson covered the closure of the News of the World as a journalist and his fictional novella features some familiar characters. E-book company Endeavour Press has published the thriller, which is priced at £1.99. "People will pay for quality content despite what Alan Rusbridger says," says Robinson, referring to the Guardian editor's decision to keep the paper's website free.

Philadelphia jury returns for deliberations in Gosnell murder trial
A Philadelphia jury is in its fourth full day of deliberations in the case of a Philadelphia abortion provider charged with multiple counts of murder.
READ: Jury in Philadelphia abortion doctor case
Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, is charged with killing four babies allegedly born alive at his clinic in West Philadelphia. He also is charged in the 2009 overdose death of a patient, Karnamaya Mongar of Woodbridge, Va., a 41-year-old mother of three.
The clinic served mostly low-income women and teens, and went years without a state inspection. Gosnell also faces hundreds of abortion-law violations, for allegedly performing third-trimester abortions and failing to counsel patients.
Co-defendant Eileen O'Neill, meanwhile, is charged with billing as a doctor when she did not have a license. O'Neill, 56, of Phoenixville, is free on bail.
READ: Kermit Gosnell accused of killing babies
Eight people who worked for Gosnell at the clinic have pleaded guilty since the 2011 indictment, and all but Gosnell's wife testified against him. Four others have pleaded guilty to murder charges for either "snipping" the babies with scissors after they were born, or helping sedate Mongar despite a lack of training.
The jury, scheduled to return Monday morning, has sat through nearly two months of graphic testimony and arguments. The seven women and five men were selected after assuring Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey Minehart that they could be fair despite the difficult subject matter.
The jurors include people who work for the city water department and regional transit authority, and appear to range in age from their 20s to 60s.
Gosnell's lawyer insists there were no live births at the clinic, and blames Mongar's death on unforeseen medical complications. O'Neill's lawyer has argued that she worked under Gosnell's supervision.
Gosnell has been in custody since the 2011 grand jury report that led to the charges.

Fans of the frenzied early R.E.M. rock & roll will find this too anthemic--but this big, big sound on R.E.M. Live speaks to the band's core strengths in a way no post-Bill Berry studio album does.
Attention does seem to wander during some of the post-millennial songs, and the insistent clapping on the wrong beat during 'Drive' is irritating, but the crowd's love is audible and the band more than earns the affection.
Taken as a whole package though, R.E.M. Live is a flawed but respectable enough addition to the canon of three men who can still conjure up a bit of magic, albeit in spite of themselves.

KVM tray technology.
What we do that others don't.
From the solid construction of our KVM trays, to unique features like LEDs on the ?front panel and integrated KVM switching, Black Box's... more/see it nowKVM trays are miles ahead of the competition.
Nothing reduces clutter in a server room like KVM trays that are 1- or 2U high, and ?mount in a cabinet or rack. Here are some of the features that set our KVM trays apart.
TFT LCD support.
This type of monitor uses thin-film transistor (TFT) technology to improve image quality, resulting in higher resolutions, better image contrast, and addressability. All our KVM trays support TFT LCD panel monitors.
Viewing angles.
The screens on our KVM trays are viewable from nearly any angle. Because of the size of our screens, from 15" to 19", viewing angles vary from 140° x 120° all the way up to 160° x 160°, so you don't always have to be standing directly in front of the monitor to see what's happening on it.
Universal rail.
Our ServTray Complete family of KVM trays (KVT417A-R2, etc.) has adjustable length instead of a variety of rear bracket sites. This universal rail rear bracket size fits racks with depths of 23.7" (60.2 cm) to 45.3" (115 cm). This simplifies ordering for you!
Dual rail technology.
This KVM tray technology enables the monitor drawer and the keyboard/mouse drawer to move independently of each other. It makes it easy to leave the monitor visible even when a server cabinet is closed and the keyboard/mouse drawer is fully retracted. Black Box has added switching controls to the monitor bezel that can be used to control an attached switch without pulling open the keyboard/mouse drawer for even more space-saving benefits.
Additionally, the dual rails provide a great monitoring environment without disturbing your cooling system.
You asked for it.
Our latest KVM trays, the ServView V KVM Drawer and ServView V KVM Drawer with Widescreen (KVT517A, etc.) were designed based on feedback we have received from some of our customers.
On the front panel of the tray, there is an LED panel, which helps you locate the ?drawer when it's closed in a darkened data center. The tray only takes up 1U of rack space, and it features the dual rail technology described earlier.
We added front-panel controls for switching, so if you choose a model with an embedded KVM switch, you can use the buttons on the monitor bezel without pulling out the keyboard. Additionally, the top of the keyboard tray features a hideaway connection for USB wireless devices, such as RF- or Bluetooth® supported keyboards and mice. You can wirelessly access your attached targets, even without opening the cabinet door!
Another feature is the front-panel USB port, which provides crash cart access. If your keyboard or GlidePoint® mouse quit on you, simply use this port to attach a passthrough pointing device.
Finally, the widescreen version supports 1920 x 1080 resolutions and DVI connections — two firsts in the data center. collapse

Revisiting the SpyEye/ZeuS Merger
In October 2010, I discovered that the authors of the SpyEye and ZeuS banking Trojans once competitors in the market for botnet creation and management kits were planning to kill further development of ZeuS and fuse the two malware families into one supertrojan. Initially, I heard some skepticism from folks in the security community about this. But three months later, security experts are starting to catch glimpses of this new hybrid Trojan in the wild, with the author(s) shipping a series of beta releases that include updated features on a nearly-daily basis.
It probably didnt help that the first report of a blended version of SpyEye/ZeuS (referred to as SpyZeuS for the remainder of this post) detailed in a McAfee blog post turned out to be a scam. But a little more a week ago, Trend Micro spotted snapshots and details of SpyZeuS components, noting that the author appears to have received help from other criminals in polishing this latest release; in particular, an add-on that grabs credit card numbers from hacked PCs, and a plugin designed to attack the anti-Trojan tool Rapport from Trusteer. (Trusteers Amit Klein addresses this component in a blog post here).
Seculert, a new threat alert service started by former RSA fraud expert Aviv Raff, includes some screen shots of the administrative panel of SpyZeuS that show the author trying to appeal to users of both Trojans, by allowing customers to control and update their botnets using either the traditional ZeuS or SpyEye Web interface.

Afghanistan's 2010 Parliamentary Elections – Where Are We Now?
Afghanistan was supposed to hold its next parliamentary elections this May, but those were postponed until the fall for security, logistical and financial reasons.
Bill Clinton to Co-Chair Haiti Rebuilding Commission
At the Haiti donor conference it was announced that a new authority would be created to manage donor funds and reconstruction efforts. The so-called Interim Haiti Recovery Commission will be co-chaired by Bill Clinton and Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive.
Four Things You Should Know About the Haiti Donor Conference
Post by Penelope Chester
One Laptop Per Child in Rwanda
In my September 2009 blog post on One Laptop Per Child, I argued that the program had largely failed to meet its expressed purpose of improving education for children in the developing world through the distribution of large numbers of low-cost laptops. I continue to believe that's the case. OLPC's grand goal has not, and is unlikely to be, achieved.
UN Human Rights Rep in Kabul Calls for Repeal of War Crimes Amnesty
The United Nations' highest human rights official in Afghanistan has publicly called on the Afghan government to repeal a recently publicized law that grants amnesty from prosecution to leaders of all warring factions during two more than two decades of conflict before 2001.
Middle East; Iraq; Ebola
Middle East: During the last 48 hours of the continued ceasefire, humanitarian workers have delivered food to hundreds of thousands of people, repaired water and sanitation infrastructure, re-stocked medical supplies, and some of the 520,000 displaced Palestinians have returned to their homes. However, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator remarked the scale of needs remains "unprecedented in the Gaza Strip."
Middle East; Ebola; South Sudan
Middle East: At today's informal session of the General Assembly on Gaza the SG remarked that the most recent ceasefire has held since yesterday at 8 a.m. local time. He noted that a durable ceasefire is necessary and UN shelters must continue to remain safe zones. The SG thanked UN staff in Gaza and will fly the UN flag at half-mast tomorrow in memory of those who died in the conflict.
Middle East; Ebola; Syria
Middle East: The SG commended Israeli and Palestinian parties for committing to a 72-hour ceasefire that took place at 8 a.m. local time today. He urges all parties to abide by the ceasefire and commence peace talks in Cairo to address underlying issues and agree on a durable ceasefire to sustainably stop the violence. The UN lends its full support toward these efforts.
Middle East; Iraq; Afghanistan
Middle East: The SG condemned yesterday's shelling outside of an UNRWA school in Rafah that killed at least 10 Palestinian civilians. The SG stated that the attack violated international humanitarian law and UN shelters must continue to be safe zones and not combat zones.
SG; Security Council; Middle East
SG: Last night the SG spoke at a joint press conference with the Foreign Minister of Costa Rica where he repeated his call for an unconditional and extendable humanitarian ceasefire. Speaking about yesterday's shelling of a UN shelter he said: "Nothing – nothing – justifies such horror" and demanded "that all parties immediately respect UN premises".
SG; Ukraine; Middle East
SG: The SG met with President Ortega yesterday in Nicaragua where he visited a wind farm and praised the country's commitment to renewable energy. The SG arrived in Costa Rica today where he is expected to lecture about "Costa Rica and the United Nations: Challenges and Opportunities in the 21st Century".

Historical Traveler Reviews Hampton Inn & Suites Amelia Island-Historic Harbor Front Fernandina Beach
Nice property, but not he quietest
I would rate this 3.5 stars if given the chance. Only real problems we had with it were the thin walls and the noisy couple next door, along with the frequent sound of trains passing by our room, though they never seemed come in the middle of the nigh. The hotel is nicely appointed and does not look like your typical Hampton Inn. The rooms are nicely furnished and you feel like you are staying in a new hotel. Desk clerk was very friendly as well. It is also in a great location as far as being in the heart of the historic area.
Great Location
Nice room. Liked view even if we were almost literally on the train tracks. Trains do not run after about 8:30 pm and hadn't started up in the morning when we got up about 7 am. Breakfast buffet was nice plus and computer for guests was very helpful in checking airlines and e-mails. Would definitely stay again.
Don't Understand
I don't understand what all the complaining is about regarding this property. As a seasoned traveler I can say without a doubt that this is a terrific proerty and I would recommend the hotel to anyone. My wife and I spent two nights at the hotel in November. Everything was fine, check in was quick and staff was very pleasant. We did change our room however, because our first room which over looked the water had railroad tracks close to the room. We didn't want to take the chance of being awaken by a passing train. Our next room was fine and never did hear the train. This Hampton has one of the best breakfast areas of any Hampton I've ever stay in. Also, there were many signs around the Hampton stating that this Hampton was voted the number 1 Hampton in the US.
Nice Hotel and Great Staff
We just stayed at the Harborside Fernandina Beach Hampton Inn over Thanksgiving. The hotel was perfect for we needed and the staff was great. We have stayed in many Hampton Inns & this one ranks right up there. You don't even need to take the car out, everything is right in walking distance. We would stay with them again!
Having read some very poor reports about the Hampton Inn at 19 south Second St. Fernandina Beach, I looked at the other Hampton Inn first, and as it was not in a central enough location decided to go on and look at the one downtown. A very wise decision. The hotel is in a perfect location, walk to everything, beach is about 1 mile away. The hotel itself is quite new, well furnished and the staff were very helpful and always around. There is a outside pool which while small is fine for a swim, I ignored the 1000 am opening time and had a swim at 0730, its ridiculous to have so late an opening time for business people and early flight departures.
The rooms are fine and well stocked, pity about the plastic glasses, but everything worked . There is an exercise room, well equipped, a business suite with free internet access, and a self operated laundry, which my wife was delighted with as she had all her washing done before she got home. Breakfast, included in the price, was fine but once again the utensils were all in plastic.
I found it good value ($97 Total), with helpful staff, and everything worked and it was clean. Would I stay again? Absolutely, highly recommended for the price charged.
Super Clean, Cozy, and Very Friendly!
My family of three just got back from a long weekend at the Harborside Hampton Inn & Suites. We had a wonderful time. Great location, close to all sorts of sight-seeing, shopping and dining.
We had a suite--it was very clean, neat and well appointed. Our suite had a dishwasher as mentioned in another review. Ours had a small sign just above it saying that the dishes, utencils, etc. had been washed for our convenience, hence, these items were still in the dishwasher. Not a negative point in my opinion since it was a way of reassuring their guests that the items were clean.
Anyway, the pool was great! It is acutally on the second floor of the hotel and overlooks the harbor on the river. It is a wonderful place to sit in the evening and watch the sunset. My three-year-old loved swimming in the pool.
This is also the level where they have the complimentary breakfast. It was one of the best complimentary breakfasts we have seen. It even included hot items.
Above all the best thing about this hotel was the staff. Having stayed there over a three night period we ran into the cleaning staff, in particular, on numerous occations. They were always smiling and friendly. They often even asked our little girl how she was enjoying the trip and hoped that she would come back to visit again. We take a lot vacations and this was the friendliest staff we have encountered. They stand as a wonderful example.
Just as we were going to leave the electricity went out. Being on the 4th floor, we had a long way to go with lots of luggage. As we walked toward the stairwell one of the housekeeping staff, Patrice, offered to help us to get our luggage down the stairs. She was very sweet and talked with us the entire way down the stairs. The electricity came on just as we were exiting the stairwell downstairs. We all got a good laugh out of it. This just illustrates the wonderful hospitality here.
We will be back again and again!
Depending on your needs....great place to stay
Having read a previous negative review, I checked in with some trepidation. I had booked a suite.
Upon arrival I noticed a dishwasher in the room, opened the cupboard and saw No Dishes, noticed the coffee maker but No Pot, opened the freezer with the ice maker and No Ice and the microwave was missing the turntable.
In going out that evening, I stopped at the front desk and asked if someone could bring a coffee pot and while I was assured that this would happen....it didn't.
The next morning after a great continental breakfast, I asked one of the cleaning personnel about the missing items in our suite. It turned out that EVERYTHING was in the dishwasher which we hadn't opened.
In the end, we LOVED our room, the amenities and the friendliness of the people working there and the location.
If you are looking for SERVICE, this is not the place to stay. If you are looking for attractive, spacious, clean accomodations with a substantial array of breakfast food, then you will be very happy.
I paid MUCH MORE to stay at a B&B within walking distance of the Hampton Inn and I wouldn't do it again.
Great Location/Top Shelf Decor
This was a lovely spot to stay, steps from the historic town center. The decor was very nice, clean rooms, but I agree w/ others--the place IS understaffed! The lovely outdoor pool overlooking the harbor was closed, I suspect because of lack of help! If you stay here a MUST is dinner at Pompeo's on Centre Street-the BEST italian food I ever had, hand prepared by a old world owner.
Really gone down hill....
This used to be a beautiful hotel with an outstanding staff.
Unfortunately they have changed owners and the downfall is apparent.
Though the grounds of the hotel are still maintained, the staffing is extremely poor. It is not possible to have anything brought to you room (from towels to a plunger) and generally quite impossible to even speak to the front desk staff as they are so busy. On my most recent stay I only saw one person working the hotel in the evening and that same person the next morning! When I asked to speak to her manager the following morning.. of course there was not one on property. I never saw anyone else working besides her during my evening stay. Apparently one person can run a hotel? This is unfortunate as my wife and I began staying on the harbor because they pampered their guests, now it is just another Hampton Inn.
Beautiful hotel- absolutely NO SERVICE whatsoever! This property has lost what made it charming in the first place and they have raised prices! For the money stay at one of the many bed & breakfasts downtown or one of the luxury resorts in the area.
Beautiful Hotel
The Hotel is beautiful and nicely appointed. It is located close to everything you could ever need. The entire staff is very friendly and hospitable. I wuold recommend this Hotel to anyone considering a wonderfull stay at the beach.

LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) - The Ville Platte company that makes "Slap Ya Mama" Cajun seasoning has slapped a lawsuit for trademark infringement on an upstart spice company marketing under the name
"Punch Ya Daddy."
Walker & Sons, the family owned company that makes "Slap Ya Mama," alleges the similarity of the other brand's name and logo are an attempt to draw on their brand's good reputation.
"Punch Ya Daddy" owner Kirby Falcon Jr., of Houma, and his attorney declined comment on the case.
The Walker family is seeking an injunction to block Falcon from use of the "Punch Ya Daddy" name and logo.
The case was originally filed in state District Court in Evangeline Parish but transferred this week to federal court in Lafayette.

NASA is inviting eligible education institutions, museums and
other organizations to examine and request space program artifacts
online. The items represent significant human spaceflight
technologies, processes and accomplishments from NASA's past and
present space exploration programs.
On Wednesday, June 15, NASA posted a seventh batch of artifacts.
The National Air & Space Museum, NASA visitor centers and
exhibit managers, other federal agencies, eligible education and
non-profit institutions, public museums, libraries and planetariums
can view and request space
artifacts online.
This opportunity is being offered through NASA's partnership
with the General Services Administration. Together they developed
the first-of-its-kind Web-based, electronic viewing portal for
space artifacts. These artifacts are from the Space Shuttle, Hubble
Space Telescope, Apollo and International Space Station Programs.
Examples of artifacts include a space shuttle payload bay mockup,
cockpit seats and Apollo era glove assemblies.
Each artifact will be available for 42 days. For the first 21
days, internal organizations such as NASA visitor centers, agency
exhibit managers and the Smithsonian Institution may request
artifacts. External organizations, including museums, schools,
universities, libraries, and planetariums, may request artifacts
the following 21 days. After the screening period closes, and at
the completion of the request process, organizations will be
notified about the status of their request.
Orbiter Payload Bay Mockup On Potential Artifacts
Artifacts will be incrementally released when they no longer are
needed by NASA and in accordance with export control laws and
regulations. Artifacts are provided free of charge, however,
requesting organizations must pay for shipping and any special
handling costs.
To date, approximately 28,500 items of historic space
significance have been offered, mainly from the shuttle, with
contributions from Hubble, Apollo, Mercury, Gemini and space
station programs. Approximately 3,000 artifacts have been

Finance Minister Momtaz al-Saeed announced Tuesday that he has ordered the Egyptian Tax Authority to implement legal changes to help the state bring in billions of pounds in unpaid taxes.
He said the changes would speed up collection and facilitate taxation of small businesses.
The state is owed LE150 billion in uncollected taxes, Saeed told a meeting of the People's Assembly's Budget and Planning Committee held to discuss tax revenue and the fiscal year 2012/13 state budget.
His directives include activating provincial tax appeal committees and facilitating payment measures for citizens.
