Quick Take: Last week Black & Veatch launched its first annual Strategic Directions report on utility automation. The firm surveyed utility executives to uncover common challenges and opportunities. Having now had time to study the report, I discovered that it confirmed many of the themes I heard from utilities at this year's DistribuTECH conference.
For instance, many utilities are increasingly concerned about the reliability implications of using a public carrier network. Based on experiences from Sandy and other large storms, they fear that cellular networks will be overwhelmed and/or be too slow to return to service after a natural disaster. The Black & Veatch report tells a similar story.
Below is a quick summary of the four findings I found most compelling. Or visit the Black & Veatch site to download the full report. - Jesse Berst
1. Utilities need a robust communications infrastructure to realize the full value of their smart grid investments. "Metering, automation and data analytics are changing how utilities approach their customers and their businesses," explained Paul Miller Black & Veatch's Vice President of Private Networks. "And it's a robust telecom backbone that enables the full value of these... investments."
The report concluded that the combination of public and private telecom networks will continue. Many utilities will use cellular networks to support smart metering, but will prefer their own private networks for mission-critical functions.
2. Almost all utilities intend to install sensors and implement distribution automation throughout the system. "Most utilities are clearly identifying that automation solutions are their greatest opportunity to capture value from their capital investments and operational expenses," said Martin Travers, President of Black & Veatch's Telecommunications Division.
3. Utility analytics offer great potential but there is still a lot of work to be done. "Another emerging trend is the rising interest in analytics as both a monitoring and diagnostic tool and an adaptive planning tool to evaluate long-term plans for their operations," Travers said.
4. Utilities increasingly need cloud services to adequately manage the data flowing in from their smart devices. Cloud technology may allow small utilities to close the technology gap -- they'll have access to the same state-of-the-art technology as large utilities.
In addition, recruiting challenges and an aging workforce are forcing many utilities to consider telecom outsourcing. Indeed, some are considering outsourcing the engineering and management of their private networks as well.

FORT MYERS, Fla --A new foreclosure crisis: damage left behind putting other homes at risk of foreclosure, too.
Jan Swanson thought she'd live in her home the rest of her life. But a few weeks ago, she discovered something unsettling: a bad smell.
When her neighbor walked away from his condo unit, somehow, water leaked out saturating everything and leaving behind evasive mold.
"So this is what's right next door to me," Jan told Call for Action as she pointed out the mold growing in the home next to her.
That same wall where the mold is growing is shared by her unit.
Jan told WINK NEWS she worries,
"It will eat up this townhouse since I have the greatest connection with the townhouse behind me that flooded, mine is going to be the first one to go."
Once the mold enters her home, Jan says she'll have no choice, but to walk. "It's kind of an overwhelming loss," said Jan, "With the economy I'm really not working. I haven't had a full time job since July and now I'm looking at losing my property and it's depressing."It's hard for code enforcement to hold anyone responsible.
Legally, the person who walked away still owns the property.
Often banks wait to take ownership until just before they go to sell--to avoid being responsible for years worth of homeowners association dues.
That's because Florida law only holds banks responsible for paying homeowners association dues for up to six months before the bank takes ownership.
"It feels kind of unfair for code enforcement to step in and try to write somebody who's lost their job, and who's losing their home, a ticket," said Fort Myers Code Enforcement Manager Michael Titmuss, "Banks need to be held accountable to a certain thresh hold."

text: Columnist: Suspend Dirty Dwyane Wade for 'Malicious' Elbow to Player's Head Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart Sports 25 May 2013 post a comment Bob Kravitz, a sports columnist for the Indianapolis Star, believes Miami Heat basketball player Dwyane Wade should be suspended for his "egregious," "malicious," and "terrible" elbow to Indiana's Lance Stephenson's head in the fourth quarter of Friday's game. "There must be a suspension. At least a fine. A big one," he writes. He continues and, just as Breitbart Sports did, lists Wade's history of dirty plays: He broke Kobe Bryant's nose in an All-Star game. He shoved and threw down Rajon Rondo, dislocating the Boston guard's shoulder. He ran over then-Indiana guard Darren Collison like a freight train as Collison tried to go to the basket. And that's just a partial compilation of Dwyane Wade's dirty plays during his extraordinary but chippy career, all of them happily captured in a YouTube mini-documentary. He said Wade "threw a Jimmy 'Super Fly'' Snuka elbow into Lance Stephenson's temple," and, "if there's not a suspension — or, at the very least, a massive fine — I'll be willing to engage crazed fans in the small-market conspiracy talk." Granted, Stephenson is the hometown writer for the Pacers, but many who saw the video replay seem to think Wade elbow's was yet another example of his dirty play.

Ten cool tablet accessories, most under $10
Summary: So you've got a shiny new tablet for work and play. These ten accessories are cheap and will complement the new gadget no matter which brand.
12 of 12Image
Cellet Super Fast Universal USB Car Charger
Those who spend a lot of work time in the car know the value of a car charger for phones and tablets. This one is special as it has two USB ports that each deliver 2.1 amps. It will charge two tablets as quickly as possible.
Its circuitry prevents overcharging any device and shuts off when it senses the gadget is packing a full charge.
You'll need to supply your own USB charging cables. The charger is available for $19.99 at Amazon.
Pendulumic S1 Stance Headphones
Those lucky enough to have permission to use headphones at work, or those with long commutes on public transport, know the value of good headphones to use with a tablet or phone.
Wireless headphones have fewer frustrations than the wired variety but often have poorer audio reproduction. These wireless headphones from Pendulumic are the exception, with studio-quality audio output.
We have been using these headphones for weeks and they sound stunning. The audio is so crisp and clear, you can hear every single instrument that's playing, even when listening to heavy metal music. A friend who edits audio professionally has told us the Pendulumics are studio quality.
The S1 Stance headphones connect over Bluetooth, are both Android and iPad tested, and can also be plugged in with the included cable. This cable has media player controls, which also used for receiving phone calls when paired with a phone, and has an integrated microphone. The physical volume knob on the right ear cup makes this one of the easiest headphones to use that we've tested.
The headphones charge via microUSB, and last over 18 hours of constant playback per charge. There are two AAA batteries in one of the cups that can be turned on when the internal battery is empty. This gives the S1 Stance a playback time of 30 hours.
The S1 Stance is very light and can be worn comfortably for hours due to the soft leather used on the ear cups and the adjustable headband.
The $199 price tag from Pendulumic is not cheap, but for the best headphone audio the author has experienced, it's not that bad.

2400 E. Seventh St.
Long Beach, CA 90804
Category: Bars and Clubs
Region: Long Beach
It's been a good year for Fathers & Suns, the Long Beach band made up of Arturo Bandini (guitars and vocals), Jesus Lara (guitars and vocals), Luis Renteria (drums and percussion) and Jay Penev (bass and vocals). Last November, they released their debut album, Mama Provides, a 12-song conglomeration of '60s-influenced pop, garage-tinged rock and quirky folk. Locals ate it up with ravenous appetite—as evidenced by this summer's Busker Fest, a live music festival which the band competed in, and won hands-down. This Tuesday evening, they play at Long Beach's indie band motherland, the Prospector, where maybe, if we're lucky, they'll give audiences a taste of that new material they're working on.

November 26, 2014
April 9, 2010
Members of the Westboro Baptist Church made their way to Blacksburg to protest against Virginia Tech.
They said they believe students who attend Virginia Tech engage in sinful activities. They also said that Morgan Harrington, the 20-year-old student whose body was found in Albemarle County months after she disappeared in Charlottesville, deserved to die. They said her behavior and dress led to her murder.
At 1 p.m. Friday, members of the church delivered their message with signs and chants at three different locations: outside a Jewish community center, along Main Street and in front of Blacksburg Middle School.
Blacksburg Police had extra officers on hand in case things took a turn for the worst.
One protester said Morgan's death was a curse from God and that events like that don't happen at random.
Members of the church were met by a group of counter-protesters, many holding signs. One read "God hates clams," using humor to dismiss the message from the Kansas group.
Morgan's father, Dan Harrington, was reportedly in attendance at today's protests. Her mother, Gil, is on a service trip in Africa for the groundbreaking ceremony of a medical school wing dedicated to Morgan.
In response to Friday afternoon's protest, the Harringtons issued a statement calling the church a "group of domestic terrorists."

Priest-in-Charge? Rector? What's in a title?
Elizabeth Kaeton's playing trendspotter. She's thinking about who's got what title in The Episcopal Church, and what some of the critical distinctions between them might be - and, so long as we're on the subject, from where (or whom) those distinctions arise.
There seem to be a lot of clergy "in transition" these days.
What I'm hearing is that there are far fewer positions of rector available. More and more, the positions come with the title "Priest-in-charge".
I'm concerned about the seeming plethora of otherwise healthy congregations going through an interim period, through the rigorous self-study, profile writing and clergy search process, only to call not a full-time rector but a full time "Priest in charge".
The issue really has to do with a transfer of power. Rectors, canonically, have lots of power. Vicars and Priests-in-charge don't. That's because Vicars and Priests-in-charge are not the rector of the church. The bishop is.
Vicars and Priests-in-charge do not have "temporalities of the parish" - including life tenure.
As has been pointed out to me, the more Vicars and Priests-in-charge, the more power is invested in the bishop's office.
Does she have your attention yet?
This Café blogger/former priest-in-charge (now rector) knows that what's on the business card, while entirely irrelevant to some, can certainly have the capacity to tinge ministerial life in critical ways. Though ethereal sounding, the loss of "temporalities" is real enough; and the headaches that can arise in an environment of rent-to-own authority can be more than one feels is worth bargaining for.
Here's one I've just heard (which displays my ignorance I suppose): "Rector, Time Certain".
Presumably "time certain" means for a fixed term, not a tenured position.
I'd be interested if there are thoughts on rector time certain v. rector v. priest in charge.
Thanks, Torey, for bringing this discussion to a wider audience. I'm honored to have it here.
Since posting this on my blog, I've had an outpouring of stories from clergy and laity from all around the church. Some are posted in the comment section. Most were written to me privately. Two people actually telephoned me and poured out their stories for over an hour. I've even had the dubious distinction of having my blog post reproduced - intact - on David Virtue's web page. And, none other than +David Anderson of the AAC has written to agree with me - for other, obvious reasons.
I've read enough to know that there is more to this story than a title. It has to do with power.
Now, more than my left eyebrow is raised. So is my blood pressure.
I have seen the use of priest in charge used more and more - I fear it is a way for bishops and sometimes congregations to circumvent canons intended to protect clergy. I have seen bishops move people for no apparent reason - uprooting their families or even separating them so he can fill "slots." Only a few wealthy parishes can keep their rectors.
My husband moved to his present parish as "Rector, Time Certain." The parish did not wish to go through an 18-month period of looking for a new rector, so they worked with our bishop to fill the slot.
Bishop Curry suggested a name (my husband's was the first he gave them), they interviewed him, and offered him the job. Had they not liked him, the Bishop would have continued to give them one name at a time until they found a priest they thought was a good fit.
The "Time Certain" part was that my husband was guaranteed a job for two years. At the end of that time, both he and the Vestry would evaluate the relationship and either of them could decide not to renew. In that case, he would have had another year to find a new position.
In his case, that wasn't necessary. Both he and the Vestry decided they were a good match, and he was moved to the position of Rector.
I don't know if "Rector, Time Certain" is a good thing in all cases--but, in this one, it allowed our parish to get a priest quickly and has turned out to be a good thing for all parties.
Paige Baker
The old way is one that is expensive - perhaps this is the future. My work has been as an interim so I am always in this situation of being appointed. But I have to leave after my year or 2.
This piece by Elizabeth Kaeton is excellent! The old way of doing things is dying, for various reasons, including that most parishes no longer can afford rectors. But a priest-in-charge appointed by a Bishop only further distances the people from ministry. In team ministry, some have said the priest, in-charge or rector, should let the members of the congregation do the ministry, while the priest takes care of the sacrament business. That shouldn't cost as much and the model of church is more egalitarian. But it still leaves priests in charge of liturgy, which is supposed to be the work of the people.
"rector, time certain," sounds good because interim periods of 18 months and longer can be real messes. But that would only seem to work for congregations who can afford rectors.
In the long run I don't see why the people themselves cannot choose someone from the congregation to conduct simple services, ultimately including communion. Sending in outsiders to a congregation has the disadvantage that it takes a while for the priest to get to know the congregation.
Gary Paul Gilbert
I think its merely indicative. The growing amount priests in charge are indicative of the growing amount of smaller parishes that require the oversight of the Diocese. Instead of giving all these churches priests in charge I think they need to be yoked or partnered with a healthy church, as opposed to running them through the diocese.
In the long run I don't see why the people themselves cannot choose someone from the congregation to conduct simple services, ultimately including communion.
Because we are Episcopalians and Anglicans. Despite what the Jensenites get up to down in Sydney, lay presidency is not part of our tradition.
For some (many?) of us, the Eucharist would not be the Eucharist without a priest. Everything else can be done by laity, but that one is a deal-breaker for the catholics among us.
You don't have to agree with the theology behind that belief, but by proposing lay presidency, you are calling for a completely different church than the one we have. For those of us who cannot go to Rome or the Orthodox for other theological reasons, such a proposal would essentially leave us spiritually homeless.
Paige Baker
I am with Paige, there are distinct roles in the church and in liturgy.
However maybe what needs to be looked at is how we train and prepare people for priestly ministry. Is it reasonable to expect someone to pursue 3+ years of full time graduate studies and then expect them to work for low salaries that they can barely survive on, or to expect small parishes to afford a reasonable salary? I am not suggesting that we get rid of the requirement for an MDiv, but maybe we need more flexible ways of training and forming people for priestly ministry that would be suited to the needs and resources of smaller parishes.

"Henna hair dye may seem very daunting at first glance but it's actually very easy and fun when you know the product well enough. I've dyed my hair twice with Caca Brun and I'm soon going to be moving on to Caca Noir for winter. My hair is shoulder length and usually I can get away with using 3 blocks for first dye, and the other 3 for a touch up after the color fades. I've seen a lot of mixed reviews on this henna dye but I truly believe that it's because a lot of people did not understand or know a few tricks about using the product so I'm going to share my henna hair dye experience. First, make sure your dye is right for your hair. Thin hair and thick hair are all very different and some hair types will not take to this dye even with the long application. I suggest doing a strand test before applying to your head. Also light hair will take better to Caca Rouge/Maroon while dark hair will take better to Brun/Noir. Second, if you want a more red color brew this with rooibos tea and keep wrapped to keep in heat. If you want a darker color use black tea or coffee to brew and leave lightly wrapped or completely unwrapped. (I use espresso coffee for mine) Also CHOP UP THE HENNA FINE. If you chop it up fine then more will be broken down and the color will not only be easier to apply but will be better for your hair to absorb all of the color. Third, the longer you leave on the more drastic the color change. I leave mine on for 2-4 hours, usually 4. It can hurt your neck a bit but if you wrap a towel around your neck and support your head with pillows it will lessen the strain. Fourth, Apply evenly. Start with the roots and then work your way down to the tips. If you do not have an applicator brush you can use your hands, just double check that you get every strand. Washing it all out can however be tricky. It forms to your head like mud and this is how I wash my hair free of the clumps. I go into the shower and get my head as close to the shower head as possible (removable shower head is a godsend) and just wash my hair free of the henna as much as I can. It helps if you wash your hair with water until you're almost free of the henna then apply a GENEROUS amount of conditioner, sometimes this process needs to be repeated. It can be time consuming and some see this as difficult but it's definitely worth it in the end. My color with Caca Brun and these steps can be seen below. less"

Should Sally Ride have revealed that she was gay?
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 07-26-2012 - 4:34pm
I was sad to learn that Sally Ride had passed away this week, she was such a role model to my generation to know that women really can a "man's job". I really didn't react to the news that she was lesbian, until I read this opinion piece from CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/26/opinion/darrah-sally-ride-lesbian/index.html?hpt=op_t1
The piece talks about how some opinions are that she let down the LGBT community by not coming out that she was gay, which the author disagreed with. She talks about how it was a different world 30 years ago, and it didn't surprise her that she wasn't public about that side of her life. It makes me wonder if she would have been the first woman in space if it was known that she was gay. She might not have had the same legacy if she was open about her sexuality.
Do you think that women today are still hesitant to come out as gay in today's workforce? Do you think that's it's more acceptable in some industries versus others?

My son is very much into the space community, and we have met Sally Ride and John Glenn. ride, for whatever reason, kind of dropped out of the NASA community after she retired from NASA. That is not unusual for retired shuttle astronauts, although in Ride's case, she could have capitalized a bit on the "first lady in space" standing and made some $$$ at autograph shows, etc. For reasons of her own, rather than being involved in things like the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, she chose to start her own foundation and focus almost solely on the education of girls. Her ex-husband is pretty active on the retired astronaut circuit, that might have been awkward for her, I do not know. Anyway, if you went to one of the few events Ride appeared at (mostly book tours and things as a public persona), her partner was there. It bet occurred to me that they were life partners, O'Shaunessy just acted like an employee of the foundation. But I think that those who knew Ride well must have known. The early astronauts (Glenn is an exception) tend to be pretty politically and socially conservative but also tend to be well-mannered personally. It would not surprise me if Ride heard one too many homophobic jokes or off-hand comments among the "boys" and just got sick and tired of it.
She didn't sever NASA ties entirely; wasn't she on both of the oversight groups which investigated the shuttle tragedies? th only person to serve on both, if I remember the obit correctly.

How does that work about sexuality if you are GLBT? If Sally Ride had chosen to acknowledge her relationship with her partner, it appears, in the words in your previous post, that she's announcing to world who she's sleeping with, but Neil Armstrong's marriages to women don't announce who he's sleeping with?
I think society is doing a disservice to the Gay and Lesbian community. Let them validate their relationships' with the ability to marry and treat Ride, Glenn and Armstrong equally as the groundbreaking role models they were.

You didn't say "people should refrain from making public stands about their sexuality" or "People should keep their sex lives out of the public arena". You said people should just keep their mouths shut. Period.
<< My friends know I'm straight--I have no obligation to stand up and say, "I'm straight and proud." >>
My point exactly. People know you're straigh - because your husband accompanies you places. Because you've talked about your husband or your wedding or activities with him, etc,etc. Gay people's acquaintances should know they are gay - because they too talk about their partners, their weddings, activiites with their partner, etc. But in Sally's case (and in the case of too many people still today) they feel they can't talk about that stuff, so therefore people don't know they are gay.

There is no evidence that she did not talk about it. Her friends and family knew that she was gay so it was not a secret. She just choose to not talk about it publically.
In her case the public arena was her work life, there are many things that people share in their private life, with friends and acquaintances that they choose not to share in their work life.

I do not think it matters. That may be a very simplistic view but I do feel that it is a personal issue. Chick-Fil-A is taking a nasty beating right now for stating their feelings, yet when you state your preferences, it is fine. We cannot have it both ways. People should say what they feel without retribution, including any from your employer. Sadly, who knows if it would have removed her from the position of being an astronaut had she 'come out' prior but it definitely should not have. It is irrelevant and people should not have to fear being themselves, whether others like it or not.

I think it is worthwhile to discuss and educate the community about the capabilities and skill sets of each tank class/spec. That said your method is cursory, subjective, and very much reductionist.
So, rather than starting with what you think each tank is good at while admitting you don't know more than half the options well at all, why don't we compile how each class works and what tools they have?
There are 6 tank class/specs, mind you, suitable for heavy end-game tanking:
Prot Warrior
Prot Paladin
Bear-oriented Feral Druid
Blood Death Knight
Frost Death Knight
Unholy Death Knight
I make a point to separate the DK specs because each one operates very differently, has it's own strengths and weakness, and even it's own tanking tools and CDs.
If you want to compare important tanking factors there are many items and some of the class specs work in particularly unique ways. Here's a very brief summary in terms of survival:
Warriors = Plate armor and shields, can dodge/parry/block. Warriors get 10% dmg reduction just from being in defensive stance. They can get 10% more armor from gear, 5% dodge, 5% parry, and 5% block directly from talents, along with +30% block value. They have a 30% chance to crit-block for double their normal block value. They get +6% to Strength, +6% to Stamina, and 6 expertise from talents. Against magic they get 6% spell dmg reduction and can get improved Spell Deflection (normal version can reflect a single spell cast on 10 sec CD, improved it can reflect from the four closest party members and reduces your chance to be hit with spells by 4%). Warriors get a few different CDs.
Shield Block = 100% block chance for 10 sec, with double the base block value, on a 1 min CD, talentable down to 40 sec CD.
Shield Wall = 60% less damage taken for 12 sec on 5 min CD. Talents can reduce this to 4 min CD (glyph commonly used can reduce the CD by 2 min more but reduces it to 40% dmg reduction).
Last Stand = talented this increases the warrior's health by 30% for 20 sec on a 3 min CD. Glyphed it is only a 2 min CD.
Additional special skills, warriors can intervene a target which will reduce their threat by 10% and take the next melee/ranged attack instead of the target on a 30 sec CD. Warrior's method of applying the de-hasting melee debuff to targets is improved Tclap which hits unlimited targets in a 10 yrd range (*fact check please*). Warriors can provide AP reducing shout (as can Lock's curse, Hunter pet special, and Bears) and health increasing shout (as can Lock demon and dps warriors).
Paladins = Plate armor and shields, can dodge/block/parry. Paladins rely on Righteous Fury for threat buffing, which talented reduces all damage taken by 6%. They get 3% additional reduction in all damage taken by another talent, and when their health is below 35% health they take 30% less damage from everything on top of those. They get 6% less spell damage taken from a separate talent, this represents the only specific anti-magic ability. They get +15% strength, +14% stamina, and 6 expertise from talents. They also receive the standard 5% dodge and parry, +30% block value, and +10% armor from gear. From talents they have a 10% chance on being hit to increase their chance to block by 30% for 10 sec or 5 blocks, and can increase all healing effects on themselves by 5%. For CDs:
Holy Shield = +30% chance to block for 10 sec or 8 blocks on 8 sec CD.
Divine Plea = with one of the fancy new glyphs this not-survival move becomes an additional survival factor reducing all damage by 3%. Combined with Guarded By the Light, this can be up 100% of the time in any single fight.
Divine Protection = 50% all damage reduction for 12 sec, 3 min CD. With prot talents it is reduced to a 2 min CD.
Lay on Hands = gives a target (tank possibly) an amount of health equal to the pallies' max health (for the tank restores them to full health, can crit >.>) and a chunk of mana. 20 min CD can be talented down to 16 min which also makes it buff the targets armor by 25% for 15 sec, and can be glyphed to trim 5 more minutes off the CD to a minimum of 11 min CD fully buffed.
Pallies can Hand of Protection to make a target immune to physical damage for 10 seconds on a 5 min CD. They can Hand of Salvation to reduce friendlies' threat on a 2 min CD. They can also hand of Sacrifice to take 30% of the damage for the target until it's transferred the tank's full health. A prot tank's aura's increase healing effects on everyone affected by 6%, though this is exclusive with Resto druid's tree aura. Pallies can increase party/raid members' fire, frost, or shadow resists by 130, or armor by 1200 (1800 with prot talents), though these can be offered by any pally in the raid. Prot pallies can provide Blessing of Sanctuary which reduces all damage taken by 3%, though that buff can be provided to other tanks in the same raid with a prot pally and it does not stack with a warrior's vigilance or a Disc Priest's Renewed Hope. Judgement and Seal of Light can restore health to the tank, though this too can be provided by other pallies in the raid. Pally's melee de-hasting ability is applied with their judgment so it is functionally single target only.
Druid = Druids wear leather gear and get a big armor buff from being a bear (370%, fully talented it is 588%). Druids cannot parry or block, only dodge. In addition to the armor buff, bear form increases the druid's stamina by 25%. Talents give the bear +10% armor from gear, +10 Expertise, +10% dodge, +16% stamina, +6% Strength, +6% Agility, and 6% reduced chance to be crit. Bears get an ability called Savage Defense which is essentially a shield block type ability. When they crit they get a damage shield equal to 25% of their AP (functionally block chance = crit chance and block value = 25% of AP). This works out a bit different than block since it does not feature in the hit table, instead it is simply saved for the next hit (block is only possible if the strike isn't a miss/dodge/parry, but if you DO dodge, it doesn't store up that block that could've been for the next swing), bears do not have talents to buff this ability like warriors and pallies can buff their shield block ability. Bear CDs are as follows:
Barkskin = Bear's answer to the other class's protection abilities, this reduces all dmg taken by 20% for 12 sec, on a 1 min CD.
Frenzied Rejeneration = the bear converts up to 10 rage per second into health at a rate of 0.3% total health per point. Lasts 10 sec on a 3 min CD. Glyphed this also increases all healing effects on the druid by 20%. Note, this ability consumes rage so it is at the expense of dmg threat.
Survival Instincts = +30% health for 20 seconds on a 3 min CD. Glyphed this becomes +45% health.
Bears have Leader of the Pack that will allow them to regen 4% of their max health every time they crit, but this is graned raid wide by any feral druid in the party/raid. Bears provide the AP reducing ability that warriors do. The bear de-hasting debuff is applied by maul and mangle, so it is on restricted numbers of targets. Since you can only hit 1-3 targets at a time and requires two hits to stack it and one to maintain after that, it is not easy to maintain it on pulls with many targets.
Death Knights (general) = DKs wear plate armor with no shield. They can dodge and parry, but not block. All DKs normally will take +15% armor from gear, +5% dodge, and 5% all dmg reduction that will be functionally up 95-100% of the time (requires both Blood runes on CD once every 10 sec). Specific additional details depend on tree. Frost Presence increases the DK's armor by 80% and health by 10%. DK's get 25% of their Strength as parry rating which buffs their parry chance by a noticeable amount (~4-7% depending on gear at 80). All DKs share 2 main survival CDs:
Icebound Fortitude = 20% dmg reduction buffed by defense (~35% at 540 def) for 12 sec on a 1 min CD.
Anti-magic Shell = reduces all magic damage by 75% for 5 sec or until it absorbs 50% of the DK's total health.
Death Knights' melee de-hasting ability is applied with Frost Fever which is easily maintained on all targets in range and lasts 15-21 sec per application depending on talents.
Blood = from the blood tree you can get +8% Strength, +6% Stamina, and +6 expertise. Also one talent will give the DK a chance equal to his parry chance to take 45% less damage from direct damage spells (as opposed to periodic spell dmg). Another reduces the damage of any hit that takes the tank below 35% health by 15% on a 15 sec hidden CD (only procs on hits larger than 5% of total health). Otherwise Blood relies heavily on self-healing to offset damage. 3 CDs, 0-2 passive effects, and one common ability are used for this. The CDs are:
Vampiric Blood = increases the DK's total health by 15% and increases all healing effects on him by 35% for 20 sec (30 sec with glyph). 2 min CD.
Mark of Blood = for 20 seconds or 20 hits, the enemy target affected heals who they damage for 4% of their total health. This heal triggers immediately after the damage like Earth Shield and Prayer of Mending so it won't overheal unless the hit is smaller than 4% and can be used to support other tanks and raid healing.
Rune Tap = restores 10% of the tanks total health on a 1 min CD. Talented this becomes 13/16/20% of total health on a 50/40/30 sec CD (glyphed 22% on the tank and 10% to everyone else in the party).
DK's have Death Strike which restores 5% of their health per disease on the target which will heal for 50% more (next patch) for a Blood DK. Two less common talents allow the DK to regenerate 4% of his damage done as health while tanking, and another can proc Blood Worms to heal the tank for small amounts as they do damage.
Frost = from the Frost tree you can get +3% miss, +2% all dmg reduction, and 5 expertise. A special talent allows you a 30% chance when taking magic damage to get 50 resistance to that school of magic for 18 seconds, and that can stack up to 3 times and multiple types can be applied at the same time on individual timers (i.e. fire, frost, nature, arcane, etc). Frost buffs the duration of Icebound Fortitude up to 18 seconds, and has one CD only that it adds to the mix:
Unbreakable Armor = all damage taken is reduced by a value equal to 5% of the DK's armor (~1k-1.6k depending on gear, glyph increases that value by 20%) for 20 sec on a 2 min CD.
Frost DK's have access to Death Strike though it receives no buffing from Frost and is not the preferred threat tool for the cost.
Unholy = from the Unholy tree, you can get 6% magic damage reduction, buffs AMS to reduce magic damage by 100%, and adds 2 CDs to improve survival:
Anti-Magic Zone = this zone absorbs 75% of magic damage taken by all inside for 10 seconds up to a maximum buffed by AP (14-20k total dmg but will reduce the full 75% on every target from a single burst even if it surpasses the total allowance).
Bone Shield = this applies 4 charges (6 glyphed). So long as at least one charge remains the DK takes 20% less damage from everything. Each time the DK takes damage a charge is consumed, though charges have a hidden CD (~2 sec). Shield lasts 5 min otherwise and has a 2 min CD.
Let's look at some passive buffed highlights:
Warriors = +6% Str, +6 Expertise, +6% Stam, +10% armor from gear, +5% dodge, +5% parry, +5% block, +30% block value. 10% all dmg reduction, 6% spell dmge reduction. 30% chance for double value block.
Pallies = +15% Str, +6 Expertise, +14% Stam, +10% armor from gear, +5% dodge, +5% parry, +30% block value. 9% all dmg reduction, 6% spell dmg reduction, 10% chance per hit to get +30% block chance for 10 sec. +5% heals on self.
Bears = -6% chance to be crit, +6% Str, +6% Agi, +10 Expertise, +25/16% Stam (+45% combined), +10% armor from gear, +588% armor from gear, +10% dodge. Crits create a damage shield equal to 25% of the bear's AP to act as a physical damage shield.
Blood DKs = +6% Str, +6 Exp, +6% Stam, +10% health, +15% armor from gear, +80% armor from gear, +5% dodge, 25% of Str as Parry rating. 5% all damage reduction with an additional maintained 5% all damage reduction. Chance equal to parry chance to reduce direct spell damage by 45%. Hits that take you below 35% are reduced by 15% on a 15 sec CD. Self-heals can be substantial and 'passive'.
Frost DKs = +5 Exp, +10% health, +15% armor from gear, +80% armor from gear, +3% miss, +5% dodge. 7% all damage reduction, with an addition 5% damage reduction maintained. 30% chance on spell dmg taken to stack 50 resistance to that school for 18 sec, can stack up to 3 times.
Unholy DKs = +5 Exp, +10% health, +15% armor from gear, +80% armor from gear, +5% dodge. 5% all damage reduction, with an addition 5% damage reduction maintained, 6% magic reduction.
Beyond the passives, all the class/specs get a big dmg reducer:
Warriors = 60% dmg reduced for 12 sec, 5 min CD (talented -1 min to CD, glyphed becomes 40% dmg reduction and -2 min to CD)
Pallies = 50% dmg reduced for 12 sec, 2 min CD.
Blood/Unholy DK = 35% (+/- with def) dmg reduced for 12 sec, 1 min CD.
Frost DK = 35% (+/- with def) dmg reduced for 18 sec, 1 min CD.
Bear = 20% dmg reduced for 12 sec, 1 min CD (glyph affects pvp only reducing chance to be crit further while it's up)
Warriors and Pallies get very short CD abilities that buff their survival well:
Warriors get guaranteed big blocks for 10 sec every 40, 25% uptime used on CD.
Pallies get much 30% higher block chance and blocks do reflective damage, 100% uptime on a single target, more targets reduce the uptime.
Bears, Warriors, and Blood DKs get a big activatable health buff. Bears' is +45% for 20 sec every 3 min. Warriors' is 30% for 20 sec every 3(2) min. Blood DKs' is +15% health for 20(30) sec every 2 min and comes with a +35% all healing buff.
================================================== =
Now, using 8.5 tanking gear sets (only gear not trinkets, rings, necks, or weapons) to get an idea about how passive multipliers break down for mitigation and health:
Armor = 2400 * 1.10 * 6.25 = 16503 (+482 agi = +964 armor)
Stam = 530 * 1.16 * 1.25 = 769 = 7505 health
*7 non-meta sockets (3/2/2 RYB)
Armor = 9538 *1.10 = 10492
Stam = 671 * 1.06 = 711 = 6934 health
*7 non-meta sockets (0/3/4)
Armor = 9538 *1.10 = 10492
Stam = 671 * 1.14 = 765 = 7469 health
*7 non-meta sockets (4/2/1)
Death Knights
Armor = 9538 * 1.15 * 1.80 = 19744 (note: DKs cannot get shields)
Blood Stam = 697 * 1.06 = 739 = 7208 health *1.10 = 7929 health
Frost/Unholy Stam = 697 = 6790 health *1.10 = 7469 health
*7 non-meta sockets (2/1/4)
Armor Discussion
Shields at this level are just shy of 8k armor, so bears actually end up slightly the lowest for armor from gear even though they will have much more agility and therefore armor than the plate wearers will, and will likely be able to get more armor buffing on itemization since they don't need defense and they get a lot of value from Agi which will be distinctly better buffed for them in raids. DK's bonuses put them slightly ahead of the others in total armor value thanks to the multipliers, though they do not have a block-type mitigation effect like the other 3 tank classes.
Health Discussion
Warriors get the least straight health from stamina, but they also rely on it the least in their survival mechanics. Pallies, Bears, and Frost/Unholy DKs have about the same from core pieces, but again, Bears will likely pick up more from additional pieces since their multipliers are significantly larger than the other classes. Pallies gravitate towards stamina because it works well with Ardent Defender and Touched by the Light (30% of Stam = Spellpower for a big threat buff), so they will likely pick up stamina items the same way, but they won't get quite as much mileage as bears will. Blood DKs get the most from core gear by a small margin, and will get ever so slightly higher value for stam stacking than Pallies, though Bears multipliers will still out-pace them by a decent margin. Blood DKs of all the class/specs arguably get the most out of stam stacking since they have 4 self-healing abilities they rely on to functionally mitigate damage that scale on total health, and Blood DK's are unique in the tanking kingdom for that reliance on self-heals. I haven't mentioned it previously, but DKs can also use Rune of Stoneskin Gargoyle which will increase their stam by another 2%.
Avoidance is hard to put a finger on as it diminishes and there are a variety of different non-set pieces that vary in value greatly for what they buff. Let me see what I can pull from core gear values, as we can say that anyone could get the other non-set pieces regardless of class/spec (though again, different classes value stats differently). I'll include Block % on this list, though they aren't avoidance they're easier to track here. Also, still speaking passively not factoring CDs.
Def Rating = 0
Dodge Rating = 0
Agi = 455 (note: druid weapons will likely also have high Agi values)
*+10% dodge
*damage shield is based on crit and AP for frequency and intensity respectively
Def Rating = 257
Dodge Rating = 217
Parry Rating = 60
Block Rating = 51 = 3.11%
Block Value = 166 + (443 Str / 2) = 388
*+5% dodge, +5% parry, +5% block
*30% chance block value will double on block
Def Rating = 268
Dodge Rating = 153
Parry Rating = 147
Block Rating = 80 = 4.88%
Block Value = 136 + (491 Str / 2) = 382
*+5% dodge, +5% parry
*10% chance on hit to +30% block
Death Knights
Def Rating = 294
Dodge Rating = 165
Parry Rating = 227 + (390 Str * 0.25) = 325
*all DKs = +5% dodge
*Frost +3% miss
*all DKs have access to personal runes that add avoidance/Def skill but don't effect the diminishing returns, this is +4% parry or +25 def skill (=1% miss, 1% dodge, 1% parry) with +2% stam.
Obviously the formulae are all rather messy and depend on what non-set pieces you are using so you know how diminishing returns break down. At a glimpse though we can tell that Warriors have about 30% more dodge on their core pieces, DK's will have 5 times the warrior's and over double the pally's parry rating, and the DK will have the most dodge/parry buffing from Def. DK's get the least % from talents but will get a nice buff from their rune (almost making up for that). Bears will rely very heavily on their Agility, though they match the Warriors and Pallies for raw avoidance from talents. In the wash, and based on conversations with tanks of other classes, I'd expect the avoidance values to go roughly in this order for similar gearing and gem/chant focus:
DK > Bear > Warrior/Paladin
Though I also expect the spread from highest to lowest to only be on the order of 4-8% at most.
The last comparison I'll touch on today is cooldowns. Each class/spec has their own unique tools to use through adversity. Again we'll disregard trinkets since these could/should be universally attainable and different classes will like different trinkets for their own reasons.
Obviously, Bears have the least survival CDs, most of their CDs are threat focused. Barkskin is the smallest of the protection abilities, but it is on a fast timer like DKs. Survival Instincts gives them a significant health jump, and bears are already primed to have the largest health pools by a margin. Bears get the ability to regenerate a reasonably large amount of their health on a moderately long CD. Frenzied Regen is worth 3% max health, per second, for a total of 30% max health over 10 seconds in the best case. Glyphed this value alone increases to 36% plus it buffs other incoming heals. The 3 min CD leaves this as more of a once or twice per big epic boss fight. Bears are for all intents and purposes, designed to have a higher survival baseline before CDs.
Paladins also sport a pretty small number of CDs but they are very potent. Their protection skill, Divine Protection, is solid at 50% and a 2 min CD, and glyphed they can take a voluntary hit to their own threat to get another 20% damage reduction for 10 sec on a 2 min CD with Hand of Salvation, though this has it's own risks of course. Holy Shield as an always up ability is very powerful against one or two targets as it is functionally up 100%. Against very large pulls it won't last quite as long though it is not an extreme reduction. Like Shield Block for Warriors this value increases noticeably against faster swings with smaller individual hits. Lay on Hands is about as collosal a save as you can get, but it is the only remaining 'tank' ability on such a long CD. It's amazing the moment you need it, but it can't be used casually.
Warriors have versatile CDs that can suit a variety of needs. The Warrior protection CD, Shield Wall, is the biggest among the tanks, even though glyphed it matches Pallies, unglyphed it is a HUGE value but only usable half as often. Shield Block has a reasonably high coverage at 25% for ensuring that anything not avoided is blocked, making warriors pretty regularly capable of taking less physical damage particularly through fast swinging bosses or lots of small hits. Spell Reflection is a powerful ability in certain situations even if the target is immune to the effect being reflected.
DK's originally were the CD tanking class. Smart rotation of CDs for coverage was essential as they would otherwise take noticeably more damage than any other tank. Things have changed and times have shifted. DK's still have very useful CDs but they are far less essential. IBF rings in as the most pivotal core ability. Compared to the equivolant talents for Pallies and Warriors it is very powerful thanks to its 1 min CD, but you'll find looking over the values that this is to make up for the wealth of other survival tools that the other classes have, which is most notably the ability to block. Each tree has its own system of CDs that it relies on. Frost is by far the least CD dependent, though it sports a longer duration IBF and Unbreakable Armor it will take less damage without cooldowns. Unholy relies entirely on Bone Shield for the bulk of the mitigation work, and while it works well in good gear it requires a fair amount of attentiveness to get the full value. So long as it is up Unholy is remarkably durable, and it is fantastic against large count pulls and multiple damage sources that come simultaneously. Blood, as I mentioned, is unique among the tanks as it uses self-heals to off-set damage taken. Used to their fullest these heals can actually put the Blood tank at a higher effective mitigation level than the other two specs, but that hinges heavily on the degree of the damage being taken, the skill of the tank timing the heals well, and frequent use of the additional heals. Vampiric Blood may be the single most powerful CD available in 25-man raids, as a Blood tank with a significant health pool will be able to be healed through just about anything for 30 sec.
Threat is a completely different matter, and I'll respond tomorrow with more on that, probably.
I don't think any of the classes stands noticeably above the others, they each have their own strengths and weaknesses that match well or poorly with the different challenges available. No tank is incapable of tanking some particular scenario, and no tank is TOO good at tanking something particular, Blizz has seen to that.

Kalispell man accused of arson arraigned
Published On: Sep 19 2013 10:19:19 PM MDT
A Kalispell man accused of lighting his trailer on fire pleaded not guilty to arson and two misdemeanor charges.
NBC Montana took a look at the charging affidavit for Daniel English. Deputies said they spotted English entering his trailer with a gas can when they pulled up to serve several warrants. Court documents said English threatened he would burn down the trailer. A deputy reportedly saw him pour gas and then noticed flames inside the trailer.
Investigators said they had to deploy a taser to get English under control and into custody.
