How to calculate the critical block? Who knows the complete formula?
How to calculate the critical block? Who knows the complete formula?
(8 + Mastery/600) * 2.2
If we have more than 102.4% miss+parry+dodge+block, is it increase our critical block? We can use shield block, for example.
102.4% for full passive CTC still exists... just... not like it used to because block is a 2 roll system now. First you avoid, then you roll for block, so technically you need 102.4% block in order to get full CTC now. But essentially yes, that's gone because you need insane ilevel that isn't currently obtainable. It might be towards the end of MoP but right now it's not realizable.
So... when you use shield block say you have a 40% chance to avoid, but you have a 100% chance to block, then of that % chance to block that block could be a critical block, so technically on any individual swing your % chance to crit block is not what it is on the tooltip because it's reduced by avoidance. It IS correct for your % chance to crit block when you do block though.
Anyways. Basically yes, you can't go over 102.4% any more, so it makes crit block make more sense. Two roll system. I'm tired.

One more question.
I have
20% block rating
33% critical block
when i use shield block
block rating becomes 120%
critical rating becomes 33% or 40.6%(120-102.4+33)?
Your chance to have any particular attack landed against you be a critical block while shield block is up is (I assume 40.6% is your avoidance rating):
In other words you have a 61.8% chance to not avoid, and since with shield block up you are guaranteed to block, you have a 33% chance of one of those 61.8% chance attacks to be critically blocked.
Your chance for any attack that you block to be a critical block is still 33%. Just the number of swings that are blocked are dependent upon your avoidance since it is a two roll system.
I'm pretty tired, so I might not be explaining this well. Does this make sense?
"If the world is something you accept rather than interpret, then you're susceptible to the influence of charismatic idiots." -Neil deGrasee Tyson
Twitter @Aggathon || @Tankspot || Twitch.Tv/Aggathon
It won't. You'd need around 250000 mastery rating or even more dodge + parry rating. (Don't make the mistake of mixing up block and critblock - 100% critblock are probably reachable at the end - or maybe the mid - of MoP)It might be towards the end of MoP but right now it's not realizable.
With 20% avoid, 20% block and 50% critblock, outside of SB you'd block (1-.2)*.2 of the incoming hits, and of those 50% would be normal blocks and 50% critblocks. While SB is up, you'd block (1-.2)*1 of the incoming hits, and of those 50% would be normal blocks and 50% critblocks.
/e this is against a mob at the same level. Versus bosslevel, it would be (1-(.2-0.09))*(.2-.045) and (1-(.2-0.09))*1 (in the last case, the leveldifference basically doesn't matter, as you've got over 104.5% block while SB is up, but you can't block more than 100% of the not-avoided hits, so...)

IIRC the cap for dodge is somewhere in the region of 65% the cap for parry is somewhere in the region of 235%

MoP RPS Calculator
Hunters, Just get a Sporebat, most LFRs will be missing that buff.
Strength tanks can hardcap avoidance through Parry, Agility tanks can cap out through Dodge, although I do not expect there to be enough rating overall on gear by the end of MoP to make such a thing possible even if you could reforge all stats as you preferred.
The same goes for Block, as you'ld need ~100000 rating to cap out Block (while crit block caps out at just under 27.3k)
So CTC-capping will technicly be impossible in MoP ... unless you press Shield Block
Mists of Pandaria Protection Warrior SpreadsheetOriginally Posted by Ion

Note that those values for parry and dodge are asymptotes for the DR curve. For the y(x) = 1/(1/Cp + k/x) diminishing returns equation, y(x) only reaches Cp when x->infinity. Now from a display perspective, you could argue hard caps, but from a function standpoint, you cannot solve y(x) = Cp = 1/(1/Cp + k/x), you can only take the limit as x->inifinity
Edit: some math to back it up:
y(x) = Cp = 1(1/Cp + k/x)
Cp(1/Cp +k/x) = 1
1 + (Cp*k)/x = 1
(Cp*k)/x = 0
There is no solution for this equation.
However, if you take the limit of y(x) as x->infinity:
lim y(x->inf) = 1/(1/Cp + 0) = Cp
There are some digital limits though such as size type maximum values for internal variables that will provide hard caps. Display is only to the 2nd decimal place even though the math is probably carried out in signed 32bit ints or floats/doubles (just a guess on my part)

i was wondering if you can come with your 10 cent on why Kungen from Nihilum http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...ungen/advanced (and to a large degree other warrior tanks i see) isn't expertise capped?
I myself http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...dwgan/advanced is trying to get to 7.5% hit and 15% Expertise, but as i only does 5 Man and 25 LFR i was wondering if it would be better to sacrifise some expertise for more health?

In the Autoblog Garage: 2008 Infiniti EX35 [w/VIDEO]
by Sam Abuelsamid (RSS feed) on Feb 20th, 2008 at 11:58AM
Infiniti first showed the world its new EX35 as a concept at last year's New York Auto Show and then put it on sale in fall essentially unchanged. Although the Acura RDX has been described as a sports car in CUV clothes, it's based on a fundamentally front-wheel-drive architecture. If Honda had instead taken the S2000 roadster, stretched it and jacked it up a bit, they would have come up with something more akin to the EX35. In fact, that's almost exactly what Nissan did. The EX35 is based on the platform of the G35 sedan/G37 coupe and, of course, the fun loving 350Z. If you want a... Read More

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Campaign finance reports show more than $93 million was raised in the campaign to expand gambling in Maryland, a record amount.
The Washington Post ( http://wapo.st/V0OCQB) reported Wednesday that campaign finance records show a handful of Washington's biggest media buying firms and Maryland political consultants benefited handsomely from the fight over the ballot question to allow table games like blackjack and a casino in Prince George's County.
The reports show about $90.5 million was spent. Nearly $3 million went unspent.
MGM Resorts, which plans to build a casino at National Harbor, contributed about $40 million of the $46 million its committee raised for advertising in favor of the question, which passed.
Penn National Gaming reported spending about $42 million of the $44 million Penn contributed in opposition.

December 26 – Happy Birthday Chris Chambliss
The Kansas City Royals had rallied for three runs to tie the score in their half of the eighth inning and Royal reliever Mark Littell, who had not allowed a run to score in the 4 2/3 innings he had already pitched in the 1976 American League Championship Series, was about to face Yankee first baseman Chris Chambliss. My brother Jerry and I were sitting in his living room watching the game and I have to admit, doubts about a Yankee victory were beginning to enter my mind.
Chambliss had blistered Royal pitching up to that point of the AL playoff series but as he stepped to the plate, all I could focus on was the fact that the Yankees had not been to a World Series in 12 years. What happened next was one of the most magical moments in the magical history of America's most successful sports franchise. Chambliss belted Littell's first pitch, sending it on a high dramatic arch over the padded bright blue right centerfield wall in Yankee Stadium and the Yankees were winners again. New York fans will never forget the complete bedlam that broke out in Yankee Stadium as Chambliss attempted to circle the bases after his historic round tripper. Fortunately, Chambliss was a 6'1″, 200 pound powerfully built athlete enabling him to steamroller his way through the hundreds of fans attempting to pat him on the back, shake his hand, grab his batting helmet, or rip a souvenir piece of clothing or flesh from his body.
If Chambliss did not do another thing in his Yankee career, that one at bat would guarantee him a spot on my all-time favorite list of Yankee players. But, in fact, Chambliss was a key contributor on three Yankee pennant winning and two world championship teams. He was the only Yankee player to have at least 170 base hits and drive in at least ninety runs in each of the 1976, '77, and ,78 seasons and was the calming influence and rock of stability on a team that badly needed calm and stability. In all, he spent six productive seasons as New York's first baseman during the "Bronx Zoo" years.
Born on December 26, 1948, this Dayton, Ohio native came up to the bigs as a Cleveland Indian, capping an effective debut season by being selected as the AL Rookie of the Year for 1971. Chris had three good years for the Indians, but on April 27, 1974, he found himself part of a seven-player trade that made him a Yankee. Chambliss immediately fell into a hitting slump, and batted just .242 for New York in 110 games that first season. But Yankee fans noticed that Chambliss played hard all the time, and by 1975, Chris had become one of their favorites.
Chambliss evolved into a main cog in the middle of a powerful Yankee line-up that included Thurman Munson, Graig Nettles, and Reggie Jackson. Whenever lead-off hitters Mikey Rivers or Willie Randolph reached base, one of the hard-swinging quartet could be counted on to drive them in. Chris was a good contact hitter who didn't strike out often and his bat regularly produced hard line drives to the gaps of Yankee Stadium. Chris was also an excellent fielder, winning the AL Gold Glove Award in 1978 as the Yankee first baseman.
The 1979 season was both disappointing and tragic for the the Yankees. They failed to make the post season for the first time in four years and lost their star catcher and team Captain Thurman Munson, who was killed in an airplane crash. Needing to replace Munson, the Yankee front office traded Chambliss to the Toronto Blue Jays during the 1979 off-season, in a six player deal that brought Blue Jay catcher Rick Cerone to the Bronx. Seven days later, the Yanks signed free agent first baseman Bob Watson to replace Chambliss. About a month later the Jays traded Chambliss to the Atlanta Braves.
Chambliss spent the last seven years of his playing career with the Braves hitting line drives and driving in runs, as always. After retiring as a player, Chris ended up back in the Yankee dugout for a while, serving as hitting coach for New York.
This one-time Yankee reliever was also born on the day after Christmas.

Growing trees and shrubs is a fantastic way to add low-maintenance colour and year-round interest to your garden. Not to mention the fact that they add height and structure, which can be especially useful if you want to create privacy and attract wildlife to your outdoor space. Bakker Spalding Garden Company stocks a great range of trees and shrubs, from flowering trees for small gardens (such as lilacs) to fruiting trees such as our lovely dwarf cherry ('Compact Stella'). Our trees and shrubs have a five-year growth guarantee. See the Bakker Spalding range of trees and shrubs below.

There's a tree to suit every garden. If you've got a tiny courtyard why not try the Japanese maple, which offers four seasons of interest. Delicate pink unfolding leaves become purplish in summer before turning turn fiery red in autumn. In winter the tree's elegant framework looks great when highlighted by frost. It's worth bearing in mind that if you've got a small garden you can still grow many different types of trees and shrubs, if you're prepared to prune them. The Princess tree, Paulownia tomentosa can be left to make a full-sized tree, or cut to the ground annually to coppice it for its attractive leaves. The same goes for Eucalyptus.

Interview with Gianandrea Noseda
Ahead of his appearance with the LSO on 21 June, we managed to catch up with conductor Gianandrea Noseda to talk about the concert and what he's most looking forward to about returning to the LSO.
What do you enjoy most about working with the London Symphony Orchestra and in particular the LSO musicians?
First of all, the culture of sound they have. They have fantastic taste, they are quick, they are very committed and they are very involved, not only in concerts but also in rehearsals. Of course they are incredible musicians so what I assume they expect from a conductor, is that they have something to offer. So I try to offer, not new ideas, but probably a different angle or different point of view on a piece. So far in the three meetings we've had, we've had a fantastic time – I enjoyed every single second of making music with them.
What was it like performing and recording the Britten War Requiem not so long ago?
Being an Italian conductor and being asked to replace Sir Colin Davis in one of the milestones of the British repertoire was very frightening. Of course I tried to learn as much of the piece as I could. First of all to respect it, the second step was to like it and the third step was to love it. By the time I started all the rehearsals and performances with the LSO I had already found my love of the War Requiem so now it's one of my favourite pieces.
You're coming to us on 21st June, what are you most looking forward to about the concert?
I'm looking forward to many things. Firstly, to meet the artists of the LSO again and the second thing is the programme. I think it's a very well-conceived programme because we start with Wagner's 'Prelude and Liebestod' from Tristan and Isolde, then parts of Wozzeck and finally Beethoven Five. So it's, let's say, looking carefully to German repertoire across three different eras. You have the late Classicism and pre-Romanticism of Beethoven, the full Romanticism of Tristan and finally the Expressionism of Berg. All three composers were obsessed by the structure of music as well as the vocal quality of the music, even Beethoven. Although we have always considered Beethoven a not very voice-friendly composer, Beethoven in fact liked voices very much. If you think of the second movement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, for example, it's incredible how vocal it sounds – all three composers are very much in love with the melodic and vocal elements of music.
Do you have a favourite piece of the three?
It's difficult to say because if you ask me today I've just finished an opera rehearsal so I'm very pro-Tristan and pro-Wozzeck but if you ask me in five days' time when I'm conducting Schubert's Eighth Symphony with the Finnish Symphony Orchestra I will probably tell you that it's Beethoven Five. All three pieces of music are very close to my heart.
You do a lot of work with youth orchestras, including setting up the Mariinsky Youth Philharmonic with Valery Gergiev. How important do you think these early experiences are for their future as orchestral musicians and what do you like best about working with young musicians?
In our youth, I think we received many things. Although I'm not old yet, we have to start giving back to the next generation what we received in ours. I received many gifts of knowledge about music from my teacher and the people I have met in my life. There comes a time when you need to pass on this information and your love of music to the younger generations.
If someone wasn't sure whether to come to the concert on 21 June, how would you persuade them to give it a go?
Just simply to come and see! If you like it, you will come back and if you don't like it, at least you had an experience. Come and see, listen, and let yourself be brought by the music into different atmospheres and worlds.
Gianandrea Noseda conducts the LSO on Thursday 21 June, 7.30pm.

Discussion: Gaming Companies That Get It Right
Well, let's talk about other publishers, then. If people want other options, let's showcase some other options. I don't usually do a discussion post until Fridays on this blog, but I think this is a fitting topic.
What are your recommendations for gaming companies that "get it right?" We're talking companies that have excellent:
-Customer Service & Support
-Fan Relations
What do you feel they do best? To what sort of gamer would you recommend their RPGs? Is there an interaction you've had with them that sticks out in your mind?
And my challenge: if you're bent out of shape over WotC's latest mess, talk about companies that do the right things. Post it here or at your blog/forum. Give the "good guys" some press.

Pinnacle Entertainment Group's
Savage Worlds was a great game even before the $9.95 print version of the core rules.
Almost all of their in house settings offer a Player's Guide PDF for a reduced cost that comes with permission to print and share it amongst your players.
The Pinnacle forum is frequented by very knowledgeable fans and Pinnacle staff. I've never had a rules question go without an official answer for more than about 12 hrs. The forum is also one of the friendliest I've seen. The Admin said he had only been forced to ban 4 or so people since it's beginning.
They also provide plenty of free support in the form of GM Screen inserts, adventures, pregen characters.
Pinnacle has made licensing Savage Worlds free with Pinnacle approval which has opened up a slew of great licensee products.
Finally Pinnacle supports fan participation by contributing to and encouraging Shark Bytes, the free fan ezine.

I've heard good things about Pinnacle too. I just ordered the Savage Worlds Explorer's Edition.
White Wolf has made their Exalted 2nd Edition PDF available as a *free* download on RPGNow (reg. $40). I haven't been a WW fan for a long while, but I'm warming up to them.
Paizo Publishing also seems like a good company which gets the Product / Customer Service / Fan Relations right.
- April 8, 2009 at 9:05 AM
- Chuckn said...
Yep, Savage Worlds. Great forums. Great support from PEG Inc and their licensees. Lots of fan support.
Plus easy to run and play. Easy for beginners to lear but still crunchy enough for experienced players

- Geek Gazette said...
My choices would be Exile Game Studios, Green Ronin, Paizo, Kenzer & Palladium. All of whom have given me great customer service customer service, the few times I've needed help. While the quality of products vary for each of them, with Paizo and Exile being my top choices, the others aren't far behind. Plus every single person I have every spoken with/met from these companies has been top notch.
- April 8, 2009 at 11:09 AM
- TMan said...
Paizo has a great setup here. Buy the physical book and get the PDF free.
Of course, this is much easier for them - every customer has an account and is easy to tie that download to.
For WotC to do the same would be a horrendous logistics pain.

It's hard to top PIG for Small Press customer service. Brett's always working to find a way to add value to the relationship for the customer.
- April 8, 2009 at 1:34 PM
- Robert Saint John said...
Rogue Games is ahead of the curve on this, IMO. Colonial Gothic and Thousand Suns are top notch games, RG has always made a ton of free preview and support PDFs available, Yahoo Groups for each of the games, open discussion about the design and dev process through their blogs and, most recently, uploaded a ton of stuff to Scribd. Pricing for the books and/or PDFs is very affordable with a number of options available. If I look back at 2008 at where my gaming dollars went, RG wins hands-down, with Precis Intermedia a close second.
Great, positive subject btw.

Because I just gave him some money, I'll mention Neoplastic Press.
Dread: The First Book of Pandemonium
Spite: The Second Book of Pandemonium
Both sold through RPGNow and Lulu.
In both cases the Players section of the book (150+ pages) is available for free.

I would say so far I see Paizo doing a good job with customer/public relations.
Their staff is always present in the forums to answer any queries that fans might have. They listen and interact with them but if there's one thing I give them thumbs up over WotC is promptness and quick to have an official answer.
Managing and opening up a beta playtest for their soon-to-be flagship game to the public just goes to show how much are they concerned and care about fan's input and listening to their feedback. That's a testament for them.
They seem to be learning from WotC mistakes so that they don't make them in return. Paizo has my support.

Associated Press
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - A state senator says Comptroller Peter Franchot is wrong when he says gambling expansion won't help education.
Sen. James DeGrange wrote a letter to Franchot on Friday that criticizes him for contributing to "deceitful" ads by Penn National Gaming Inc. The company owns a large casino in West Virginia near Maryland's border.
DeGrange writes that gambling already has generated $471 million for education.
A spokesman for Franchot says while the comptroller respects DeGrange, Franchot believes the proposal is a bad deal for Maryland.
DeGrange voted against gambling expansion in an August special session. He said in an interview that he opposed the expansion before all of Maryland's five casinos are up and running. He noted in the letter that he doesn't dispute gambling expansion would raise more money for education.

(CNN) -- Rescue teams searched in what was left of a large department store in a suburb of Ghana's capital after it collapsed Wednesday morning, killing at least one woman, authorities said.
A second person was injured during the incident and was receiving treatment at a hospital, according to police spokeswoman Juliana Obeng.
It is not clear if there are other victims trapped inside the structure.
The incident occurred in Cantonments, which is considered a relatively affluent suburb of Accra.

We take a closer (live) look at the McLaren X-1 Concept
by Michael Harley (RSS feed) on Aug 21st, 2012 at 7:30PM
The McLaren X-1 Concept was easily one of the most talked about vehicles on display at The Quail during Pebble Beach weekend in Monterey. Rather than dismiss it as "one of those charmless, jelly bean-like vaporware eco-cars that the automakers periodically show off at motorshows," as one of our readers so eloquently noted in the comments section on Sunday when we revealed it, we decided to take a closer look. Climbing onto the McLaren stage, we bumped into Frank Stephenson. The famed automobile designer (credited with the Mini Hatch, BMW E53 X5 and the Ferrari F430, among others) is the... Read More

Typical Three Plots Setup Solutions
Your lawn may require set up of more than one zone in order for Robomow® to work on the entire lawn effectively. Having two or even three zones does not affect the efficiency of the Robomow® and in many circumstances is more desirable than one large zone. Where grass areas are not contiguous, or are separated by fences or other objects, it is also recommended to make each of these a separate zone.
The key is to set up the zones that will allow Robomow® to operate with the greatest efficiency, even if it is more than one or two zones. You will quickly find that mowing the lawn in these zones is an easy process that will allow you greater flexibility in your mowing habits. The Robomow® gives you the ability to control the operating time for each zone independently. There are several ways to set up these zones, including the placement of the Perimeter Switch, depending on the actual layout of the lawn. Examples are given in the figures below:
Figure 1 - All three zones are looped together and connected to the charging station. Locate the Charging Station at the back yard and wire all around the three zones. The beginning and end of the loop are connected to the Charging Station, providing the power source for all zones. Robomow® will take care of the dock zone automatically using the weekly program. To mow the front zones, simply steer Robomow® to the desired zone and press the green ON button on your Robomow®. Wires leading to the next plot are parallel and touching. The gap between them is for illustration only.
Figure 2 - Another option for this very same lawn is to have two separate loops. First, locate the Charging Station and wire the back yard as your dock zone.
The front zones will be operated using a perimeter switch. To mow the front yard, drive the mower manually from the Charging Station to each of the front zones separately, press the ON button in the Perimeter Switch and press the GO button in the mower to start the operation. When done, drive Robomow® to the next zone or back to the Charging Station.
You may purchase a perimeter switch as an accessory. Mount it on a wall or on its stake making sure it is vertical to the ground at all times. Locate the perimeter switch at least 5 feet outside the perimeter wire.

The 'Cosmo 100′ Starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Jessica Seinfeld; The Wednesday Crowd with Star Jones and Doris Kearns Goodwin
As you probably know by now, only the most extreme circumstances could keep the faithful from their usual lunch at Michael's. Since Mother Nature proved to be too formidable a force for us on not one, but two back-to-back Wednesdays, we were only too happy to pull double duty this week.
On Monday, I attended the estrogen-fueled lunch for "The Cosmo 100," a gals-only power lunch hosted by Joanna Coles who, having been named EIC of Cosmopolitan mere weeks ago, put together a guest list to end all guest lists for her first event. When I arrived a few minutes before noon, the paparazzi was lined up to capture the arrival of Sarah Jessica Parker, Diane von Furstenberg, Ali Wentworth, Jennifer Westfeldt and Jessica Seinfeld, who seemed to be channeling MC Hammer in some curious gold lame harem pants. Also in attendance: ABC News' Deborah Roberts, model Carol Alt, bestselling author Jane Green and more A-list Gotham gals than I've seen in one place in ages. Hearst's amazing PR team headed by Deb Shriver, Alexandra Carlin and Holly Whidden deserve some major kudos. I was seated at a fabulous table with Cathie Black, modeling icon Pat Cleveland and Barbara Taylor Bradford, who told me her 29th book will be published early next year. The mind reels.
When the A-list crowd made their way to the Garden Room, Joanna (who was rocking some gorgeous leather pants) greeted everyone with her trademark cheeky humor, telling us she'd prepared 'binders of men' as research for her new gig and then quoting Margaret Thatcher with the wise words, 'Cocks crow but it's hens that lay the eggs.' She also advised us "never to underestimate what you can do in 10 minutes." So true. But Joanna wanted to do more than celebrate fun, fearless females at her kick-off lunch; she surprised everyone by introducing some truly formidable women who'd broken through the glass ceiling during this election cycle. New Hampshire's first female governor Maggie Hassan talked of having her daughter run her winning campaign, Tulsi Gabbard, the first Hindu elected to congress explained how she won her race in Hawaii by proving wrong the naysayers who told her "it wasn't her time," and Grace Meng, the first Asian-American elected to congress from New York, spoke of the need for women to be mentors to other women. It was truly one of the most inspiring events I've attended in a long, long time.
Today, I was joined by another trailblazer Marcy Syms, who you must know from those commercials for the legendary off-price retailer ("An educated consumer is our best customer"). It was Marcy's father, the late Sy Syms who founded the business in 1958 as the first national retailer to sell off-price men's clothing. At first, it was Sy who gave voice to the slogan in 1974, but he wisely asked Marcy to take his place in 1978 thus tapping into an emerging public consciousness about working women. The rest, as they say, is history. "I still remember wearing those bow blouses and those short haircuts!" said Marcy.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
by Seyth Miersma (RSS feed) on Sep 21st, 2012 at 9:58AM
General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models. The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever. GM is currently working to... Read More

CZ MFA Eastern Partnership Grant Scheme 2013
18.04.2013 / 11:33
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic has launched a Call for Proposals for projects targeting the priorities of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum.
The Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs has allocated up to 140 000 € for small projects implemented by the civil society organizations in Partner countries in 2013. Applying organizations should come preferably from Partner countries. The projects should concentrate on priorities of the 1st and 4th Working Groups of the Civil Society Forum.
We are looking for projects with an "Eastern Partnership appeal" overcoming single-country optics (involving more than one EaP country) and addressing issues common for several Eastern Partnership countries. This may also include sharing experience among civil society in various countries, addressing divisions between countries or exploring common solutions to problems. Projects focused on one particular country only will not be considered eligible.
Requested funding should not exceed 20 000 € and projects implementation should end by October 15. We will be looking forward to receive the project proposals in English by May 10 at the latest. Project implementation is due to start on 1st June. Contact e-mail addresses for submitting project proposals are email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com .

It was another bad weekend for McLaren as Jenson Button finished P13 while Sergio Perez retired.
Jenson Button: "I started on the Prime tyre, but that quickly grained and gave me problems early on in the first stint. I was happier on the Option. Our pace wasn't too bad, but the last stint was particularly tough. After the final Safety Car, there wasn't a lot of tread left on my tyres, so getting them up to temperature was very tricky - we struggle with that anyway. Into the closing laps, I was vulnerable. All the cars on fresher tyres were fighting to get past, and as soon as I went offline to defend, it became even more difficult to get temperature back into the tyre. For safety reasons, the reasons behind this weekend's tyre failures need to be addressed. It's dangerous for the driver of the car, because he can lose control; but it's also dangerous for the driver of the car behind, because you can get hit by a belt of rubber. Hopefully, things can be changed for the next race. Finally, I want to say a big 'thank-you' to all the fans who have supported us this weekend. Every year, your support seems to grow bigger, and your passion for the sport grows deeper - it has been an honour and a privilege to race in front of such an enthusiastic bunch of people. Your support has truly made my weekend. So, thank you."
Sergio Perez: "This was a big shame for the team - we needed this result. My race had been going well. I'd been running inside the top 10 for most of the afternoon when my left-rear tyre suddenly exploded. I just felt an explosion along the Hangar Straight - there was nothing I could really do about it. The tyres are a big concern. Luckily nothing too serious happened to anyone, but we need to sit down together, get an explanation and get something done. Overall, we made a solid improvement through the weekend. We made some useful improvements and showed that our pace is a step forward. Those are all positives to take away. We were just very unlucky today."
Charles Pic: "I think that was a pretty good race, I'm pleased with how it went. We were managing the tyre deg for most of the afternoon but just before the last safety car came out I was ahead of Bottas and looking at an exciting last few laps. We finally ended up 15th which is not too bad, and we were comfortably ahead of our nearest competitors so it's a reasonably positive result, despite losing a lot of the gains we'd made when the second safety car came out.
"For me this has been a good weekend, one where we've started to get a bit back to the performance levels we saw in Bahrain and Spain. The pitstops were good, we ran to a strategy that gave me a chance to fight the Williams cars until the flag and we have a lot more information about the updates we brought here, both from today and the aero work we did yesterday. Overall this puts us in a much better position than we were in when we left Canada so now we'll go straight to Germany and aim to continue this upward curve there."
Giedo van der Garde: "That was a bit of a frustrating afternoon to be honest, but there wasn't much more I could do. We started the race running with a strategy we'd begun yesterday in FP3 and in quali which was all about managing the tyre deg as long as possible so we could take advantage of anything that happened ahead. The plan was running ok and we were on target for managing the deg levels but then the first safety car came out and as we'd already boxed we effectively lost track time to everyone who hadn't stopped. With the position we were in then in the race there wasn't a lot more we could do so we continued with the plan and it was working ok for the last stint, but then we had the second safety car straight after I'd stopped again so it was back to where we'd been at the start.
"As we only had a few laps left and I was on new mediums I was able to push to the flag and had a good battle with Chilton right until we crossed the line, practically together. I did pass him with a couple of laps left, but it was very tight on track and I had to give the place back which is obviously a shame, but we had a clean fight and without the safety cars I think I'd have been clear of him.
"Even though we went into this weekend knowing we had a fight on our hands I think we've made a bit of progress, getting us nearer to where we want to be relative to our nearest rivals. Next it's Germany on a track I like racing on and, coming straight after Silverstone, we can keep pushing on. That's what this season's all about, keep learning, keep fighting and never give up."
Jules Bianchi: "Generally a difficult race, which began with quite a bad start. After that I just had to follow Charles, but it was a fight to stay with him as the Caterham was a bit stronger today. We decided to pit early but then the first safety car period followed and so that didn't work out for us. For the rest of the race it was the same story until the last safety car, which could have been another opportunity to get past, but although the gap was narrow we were unable to get by. It has not been a straightforward weekend and we have just a couple of days to get to grips with that before we head to Germany, where we hope for better things."
Charles Pic: "Today has been a day that I will never forget. I was really psyched on the grid and got a great start, which helped. I got past Jules and Pic at the start, they passed again and then I took back position and we had a really close tussle for the first few laps. They just had a little bit better pace for a few laps and I dropped behind Van Der Garde. I got passed him again right towards the end and we would have been fine but then the safety car came out and he had just pitted, so that worked out really well for him. He had the final 10 laps on new tyres and I was on old tyres, so we had a great fight, but I managed to keep him behind me at the end. All in all, an eventful weekend with so many experiences to take away with me."

VIRTUAL VISITS: The Havemeyer Collection. The Havemeyers' bequest to the Metropolitan Museum of nearly two thousand objects is perhaps the single greatest gift ever given to the Museum. The collection includes paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures and decorative arts from Egypt, Greece, Rome, Asia, the Middle East and Europe. While Mr. Havemeyer collected paintings by old masters such as Rembrandt, Mrs. Havemeyer was more interested in contemporary modern works. With the advice of her friend Mary Cassat, she bought paintings by Degas, Monet and other Impressionist masters. Join Ines Powell for an exlporation of this collection.

|PRO Winter Warm-up
Palm Beach International Raceway™ (PBIR) is pleased to once again team up with The Professional Racers Owners Organization, Inc. (PRO) to host the fourth annual PRO Winter Warm-up (#PROwarmup) on January 17 and 18, 2014. This event brings together all the top names in professional drag racing, under the lights at PBIR's Drag Strip, as race teams test and tune their Top Fuel Dragsters and Funny Cars in anticipation of the 2014 race season.
Event times per day:
VIP ticket includes reserved grandstand seating, private dining tent and a bottle of water.
JUPITER, FL (January 16, 2014) - Unseasonably cold weather has forced the Professional Racers Owners Organization (PRO) and Palm Beach International Raceway (PBIR) officials to move up the racing schedule for the 4th annual PRO Winter Warm-Up. The two Nitro Funny Car and Top Fuel sessions will now be contested at 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. While teams have been testing at the track since Tuesday continued cold temperatures have impacted performance and safety as temperatures drop later in the day.
"This was a tough decision but it was one we felt we needed to make to insure we have the safest possible conditions for our drivers, crews and fans. As the sun goes down the temperatures drop rapidly and it makes it extremely hard for these 10,000 horsepower Top Fuel Dragsters and Funny Cars when it comes to traction and acceleration," said Bob Tasca III, PRO Board Member.
The track will be opening the spectator gates at 1 p.m. each day so fans can meet the drivers before the show starts. The track will also be honoring unused tickets from last year's event which lost a day of racing action due to rain. Fans can simply bring their ticket to the box office on Friday or Saturday and receive a ticket for the 2014 race.
