PRINCETON, N.J. (4/16/13) - Two rivals. One title. Princeton and Penn will meet in women's lacrosse on Wednesday, April 17 at 7 p.m., at Franklin Field, in a battle that has huge consequences. This game could potentially determine the Ivy League champion, and who will host the Ivy League Tournament.
Princeton clinched a spot in the Ivy League Tournament with an 11-9 win over Harvard on Saturday. The Tigers are 5-0 in the Ivy League, along with Penn, leaving only one undefeated team after tonight's game. Princeton is ranked No. 17 in the IWLCA poll and No. 13 in the Inside Lacrosse poll with an 8-4 overall record.
Sophomore Erin McMunn leads the offense with 30 goals and 22 assists for 52 points. She adds 28 draw controls, 14 ground balls and six caused turnovers. Freshman Alexandra Bruno and junior Sarah Lloyd have 24 points apiece. Lloyd has the most draws with 34 and ground balls with 17. Bruno has 21 goals and three assists, while Lloyd has 11 goals and 13 helps. Seniors Jaci Gassaway adds 21 points, while senior Charlotte Davis and junior Mary-Kate Sivilli have 20 points each. Sophomore Erin Slifer, freshman Anya Gersoff and senior Sam Ellis are also in double figures in scoring. Senior Caroline Rehfuss and freshman Liz Bannantine are the team leaders in caused turnovers with 15 each, with Bannantine matching Lloyd in ground balls with 17. Defender Colleen Smith has 23 draws, 11 caused turnovers and 10 ground balls. Junior Caroline Franke has started in every game since March 16, and is 7-3 in goal with a .460 save percentage and a 9.90 goals against average. .
Princeton holds a 20-18-3 edge in the all-time series with Penn, which began in 1974. The Quakers have had the upper hand as of late with a 6-2 in the last six years and took a 13-8 game in Princeton last year. The Tigers beat the Quakers twice in 2011 at Franklin Field, 11-7 during the regular season and 10-8 in overtime during the Ivy League semifinal.
Penn is 7-4 overall and is 5-0 in the Ivy League, after an 8-7 win over Dartmouth last Friday night in Philadelphia. The Quakers' final league game of the year is at Brown on Saturday. All four of Penn's losses have been to nationally-ranked teams.
Meredith Cain sits atop the scoring column with 18 goals and nine assists for 27 points. Iris Williamson has the most goals on the team with 24 and adds one assist. Caroline Bunting has 20 points on 13 goals and seven helpers. Tory Bensen chips in 16 points, Shannon Mangini and Courtney Tomchuk have 15 apiece and Maddie Poplawski has 14. Poplawski and Cain are the team leaders in draw controls with 30 and 29, respectively. Poplawski also has a team-high 11 caused turnovers, while Meg Markham, this week's Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week has 10. Ground ball leaders are netminder Lucy Ferguson 2ith 22 and Mangini with 20. Ferguson has started in all 11 games and has played in all but six minutes. She has a .470 save percentage and an 8.82 GAA.

Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum may not approve of President Barack Obama's performance, but more women are giving him the nod.
Today reports a new Associated Press–GfK poll finds the president's approval rating at 53 percent among women, a 10 percent jump from a couple of months back, with social issues including contraception playing a role.
"Social issues tend to be very important to the bases—both conservative and liberal voters," Nathan Gonzales, deputy editor of the nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report, tells the news show. "It can be a rallying point and boost for voters on the far right and far left. Social issues also help generate money for campaigns."

Sleep woes peak during the perimenopausal transition, says Barbara Phillips, MD, medical director of the UK Healthcare Good Samaritan Sleep Disorders Center, in Lexington, Kentucky, who notes that 12 to 40 percent of women report having trouble sleeping during these years.
"With impending menopause, most women experience a reduction in progesterone and estrogen," says David Slamowitz, MD, medical director of the SleepWell Center in Denver. "These hormones help regulate sleep, so declining levels can cause sleeping difficulties."
Although scientists are unsure exactly why sleep is so affected, there are several possible causes. The conventional wisdom is that hot flashes and night sweats interrupt sleep; however, Phillips says, the opposite may be true — that middle-of-the-night wake-ups may actually cause hot flashes.
Another possibility is that medical disorders such as restless leg syndrome, sleep apnea, or hyperthyroidism may be a contributing factor. The rates of restless leg syndrome and hyperthyroidism both increase with age, and the decrease in estrogen levels may play a role in sleep apnea. A 2007 study published in Menopause found that 53 percent of women over 44 who have trouble sleeping also have restless leg syndrome or sleep apnea. People with sleep apnea actually stop breathing during sleep, sometimes hundreds of times a night. When this happens, the brain must arouse the person slightly in order for her to breathe again. "If you snore, develop hypertension, or gain a lot of weight during perimenopause, talk to your doctor about sleep apnea," Phillips says.
Sleep problems can also be caused by depression, whose incidence more than doubles during perimenopause. Insomnia is one of the primary symptoms of depression.
And of course, the pressures of everyday life play a part, says ob-gyn Jan Herr, MD, a menopause expert at Kaiser Permanente Northern California. Toss in hot flashes and night sweats, plus the more frequent need to urinate during the night, "and it's a wonder any of us sleeps well," she says.
Frequent wake-ups can interrupt REM sleep, which may be important for memory and mood regulation. In fact, reduced REM sleep time, as well as deep sleep time, can contribute to other symptoms we associate with perimenopause, such as fatigue, mood swings, irritability, and trouble concentrating.
As if memory lapses weren't enough, sleep problems can also contribute to weight gain during perimenopause. Feeling fatigued can weaken your resolve to exercise and eat well, and it can also affect your appetite. Reducing sleep time can lower levels of leptin, a hormone that signals fullness. At the same time, lack of z's increases ghrelin, a hormone that promotes appetite. This hormonal double punch may not only make you feel hungrier, it may also prevent you from feeling sated after eating. The level of orexin, a hormone that increases food cravings, also goes up in animals that are deprived of adequate sleep time.
If you're having trouble sleeping, try improving your habits. If you continue to struggle, ask your doctor for help. You won't be alone: One-third of perimenopausal women use sleep aids at least a few nights a week, according to the National Sleep Foundation.
A variety of medications may help you get a good night's rest, including the over-the-counter antihistamine Benadryl, which can bring on drowsiness.

Positive Atheism's Big List of
George Santayana
No-Frames Quotes Index
Load This File With Frames Index
Home to Positive Atheism
George Santayana (1863-1952)
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
A conception not reducible to the small change of daily experience is like a currency not exchangeable for articles of consumption; it is not a symbol, but a fraud.
Civilization is perhaps approaching one of those long winters that overtake it from time to time. Romantic Christendom -- picturesque, passionate, unhappy episode -- may be coming to an end. Such a catastrophe would be no reason for despair.
Religion is the natural reaction of the imagination when confronted by the difficulties in a truculent world.
That fear first created the gods is perhaps as true as anything so brief could be on so great a subject.
Faith in the supernatural is a desperate wager made by man at the lowest ebb of his fortunes.
Prayer, among sane people, has never superseded practical efforts to secure the desired end.
Fanaticism consists in redoubling your effort when you have forgotten your aim.
It is pathetic to observe how lowly the motives are that religion, even the highest, attributes to the deity... To be given the best morsel, to be remembered, to be praised, to be obeyed blindly and punctiliously -- these have been thought points of honor with the gods.
Religious doctrines would do well to withdraw their pretension to be dealing with matters of fact. That pretension is not only the source of the conflicts of religion with science and the vain and bitter controversies of sects; it is also the cause of the impurity and incoherence of religion in the soul.
Any attempt to speak without speaking any particular language is not more hopeless than the attempt to have a religion that shall be no religion in particular.... Every living and healthy religion has a marked idiosyncrasy. Its power consists in its special and surprising message and the bias which that revelation gives to life.
People who feel themselves to be exiles in this world are mightily inclined to believe themselves citizens of another.
For Shakespeare, in the matter of religion, the choice lay between Christianity and nothing. He chose nothing.
My atheism, like that of Spinoza, is true piety toward the universe and denies only gods fashioned by men in their own image, to be servants of their human interests.
The brute necessity of believing something so long as life lasts does not justify any belief in particular,
There is a kind of courtesy in skepticism. It would be an offense against polite conventions to press our doubts too far.
The more rational an institution is the less it suffers by making concessions to others.
The body is an instrument, the mind its function, the witness and reward of its operation.
Parents lend children their experience and a vicarious memory; children endow their parents with a vicarious immortality.
Nothing can be meaner than the anxiety to live on, to live on anyhow and in any shape; a spirit with any honor is not willing to live except in its own way, and a spirit with any wisdom is not over-eager to live at all.
Life is judged with all the blindness of life itself.

Octools has just posted a their review of Iwill's i850E Pentium 4 RDRAM PC1066 motherboard offering, the P4R533-N.
The Iwill P4R533-N truly showed that it can pump out ultra performance by utilizing a P4 533mhz cpu coupled with the newest Dual Channel PC1066 Rambus memory technology. Benchmark scores derived out of this combination showed that for the person whose after top performance, the Iwill P4R533-N can deliver it. We have seen memory scores that we have never seen before in our labs. All other tests showed marked increase when compared to other P4 setups. And all of this achieved with just a cheap Pentium 4 1.6A Northwood easily overclocked to 133mhz fsb. What more a P4 2.53Ghz chip or higher?More information at Octools

Over the years just a handful of UFO books have been able to creep forth and poke their icy fingers into the soft underbelly of our deepest collective subconscious fears, scaring the daylights out of millions of readers.
A good example is Whitley Strieber's Communion. When first issued, the book seemed honest, authentic, and believable -- therefore unsettling and creepy.
Another is Dr. John E. Mack's book, Abduction, a more scholarly and clinical work, but because it was written by a respected Harvard psychiatrist, it probably made even hardened skeptics think: "Gulp! I wonder if something like this could really be happening?"
But there is one book of UFO alien abduction which delivered that feeling of queasy fright like none other. This is a much more obscure book -- it's Searchers: A True Story of Alien Abduction. The author is Ron Felber.
An interesting and significant aspect of this book is that Felber is an outsider to Ufology. Unlike Strieber, or the likes of, say, Bud Hopkins or David Jacobs, who made careers and reputations writing about alien abduction topics, Felber is a mainstream writer and businessman.
Felber has produced several books of fiction and nonfiction. But "Searchers" is his only work in the UFO genre. He appears to have written it only because he found the story so compelling, it was just too good to pass by.
A Frightful UFO Night
The book describes a sizzling night of terror as experienced by an ordinary middle class California couple, Steve and Dawn Hess.
It was 1989 when the Hesses decided to head out to the Mojave Desert for a camping trip. Upon arriving and setting up camp in the middle of nowhere, the isolated couple began to see strange globes of light in the sky.
They were unnerved but tried to explain them away in all the common ways. But then, events rapidly escalated to a profoundly frightening degree.
The "lights" moved toward their camp. Steve and Dawn Hess hide in their camper, only to be accosted by an array of eerie alien beings who surround them, peer into their windows, and seem intensely bent upon getting at them. They want to probe every aspect of their beings -- to possess their minds and souls completely.
The aliens perform devastating psychological invasions into the minds of their human subjects - at times, the couple is surrounded by dozens of bizarre alien manifestations of wide variety.
Dawn Hess described it this way:
"They (the aliens) wanted everything we had ... everything ...our minds, our bodies, even our souls, I think. It was like they drew it out of us with a syringe ... every molecule. And it was painful and I thought we were going to die, or already had died and were being tortured in hell."
After enduring a night of this hell, Steve and Dawn Hess returned to their normal lives and jobs, but all was not well. Nightmares, fears, anxieties, post-traumatic stress - everything that had happened to them had shattered their sense of what it means to be a normal human being. They were suffering from intense eschatological shock.
It's a remarkable story. In the hands of an skilled writer - Felber holds a Ph.D. in Art and Letters - the result is one of the most terrifying books on alien abduction ever written.

2013-12 Meeting
IRC meeting for December 2013, there is also 2013-12 Meeting IRC Log.
[edit] Direct access to db/table
[edit] Agenda
In http://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/faq.html#can-i-access-directly-to-database-or-table-pages we mention that we support direct access, however how can this work without a token parameter?
Also, there is this ticket https://sourceforge.net/p/phpmyadmin/bugs/4057/.
Assuming it worked without a token before 4.0, what will be the fate of this feature?
--Lem9 (talk) 14:56, 24 November 2013 (CET)
[edit] Meeting
This used to work in the past and is an useful feature, so it should be brought back to current code. Technical details will be discussed on the mailing list.
[edit] Handling js error reports
[edit] Agenda
Who will take charge of the issues from http://reports.phpmyadmin.net? And maybe we need another state for bugs that have been submitted to SourceForge but not yet fixed.
--Lem9 (talk) 15:10, 24 November 2013 (CET)
[edit] Meeting
- There are some issues with reporting to sf.net which should be fixed (see https://github.com/phpmyadmin/error-reporting-server/issues/27).
- Atul volunteered to do the screening, will become "JavaScript Q/A coordinator".
[edit] Ideas for GSoC 2014
[edit] Agenda
- Can we discuss this idea: http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/GSoC_2014_Ideas_List#Structure_tools ?
- Also, what about an input validation module (for Insert/Edit, probably based on jQuery validate or something like that)
--Lem9 (talk) 18:32, 28 November 2013 (CET)
[edit] Meeting
- The idea of structure tools sounds useful and good for GSoC.
- We'll probably group input validation with other UI improvements for GSoC.
- Any suggestions should go to the RFE tracker.
[edit] Wiki preparation for GSoC 2014
[edit] Agenda
- Who wants to copy/adjust last year's pages on the wiki, for 2014?
--Lem9 (talk) 18:32, 28 November 2013 (CET)
[edit] Meeting
- Dieter will update the wiki.
[edit] GSoC 2014 Admin
[edit] Agenda
- Who wants to be GSoC admin next year?
[edit] Meeting
- Michal will be the admin with Atul and Dieter as a backup.
[edit] Advertisement on wiki
[edit] Agenda
I've agreed to show one sponsor link on wiki and demo server till March 2014 with ooshirts.com. Now when the server will come under phpMyAdmin control, I'd like to ask the project for keeping the link in this period, so that the current agreement can be fulfilled.
--Nijel (talk) 10:49, 29 November 2013 (CET)
[edit] Meeting
Agreed to keep the link there for remaining three months, there will be no sponsors links on the wiki afterward.
[edit] Next releases
[edit] Agenda
Any objection to 4.1.0 final?
When 4.1.0 is published, I suggest we indicate on the Downloads page about 4.0.10 that it's supported only for security fixes, until Jul 1, 2014 for example.
--Lem9 (talk) 18:29, 4 December 2013 (CET)
[edit] Meeting
- We can release 4.1.0 soon and mark 4.0.10 as receiving only security fixes.
- Remove links to 3.5.x once support for it ends (end of year).
- We will discuss more generic documentation of obsoleting releases on devel list.
[edit] Testing and documenting browser support
[edit] Agenda
We may maintain a list of browsers that phpMyAdmin gets tested with and for which we are willing to accept and fix interface bugs. This list should include browser names and their versions. Since we have access to BrowserStack, I suggest we support the latest 3 versions of all major browsers.
At the moment, these are:
- Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10, 11 (sic: IE8 is the latest version that XP users may use)
- Mozilla Firefox 24, 25, 26
- Google Chrome 29, 30, 31
- Opera 12, 15, 18
- Apple Safari 5, 6, 7
- Is anyone willing to test the interface in these browsers?
- Where is (are) the best place(s) to document this?
- Which role do Selemium tests and planned mobile support play?
- And would the tests be done on more than one platform, for multi-platform browsers?
- If this testing happens, on which platform(s) should it be done?
--mynetx (talk) 19:53, 8 December 2013 (CET)
[edit] Meeting
- We can do automated testing in ci.phpmyadmin.net using BrowserStack, Isaac will look into this once we have new server.
[edit] New messages in a bugfix version
[edit] Agenda
Now that Weblate makes the life easier for translators, should we accept bugfixes with new messages?
--Lem9 (talk) 13:38, 11 December 2013 (CET)
[edit] Meeting
New messages should be added cautiously, but can be added with bugfixes as having different fixes for master and QA branches would be even worse. We also can expect that they might not be translated for few releases...
[edit] Deprecating the mysql extension
[edit] Agenda
Have a look at
- https://sourceforge.net/p/phpmyadmin/bugs/4171/ (poor user with mysql extension)
- http://www.php.net/manual/en/intro.mysql.php (mysql extension deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0)
In rte_routines.lib.php we already have a warning about the mysql extension. I suggest that for 4.2.0, we add a stronger message on the main page, suggesting to move to mysqli.
--Lem9 (talk) 18:27, 9 December 2013 (CET)
[edit] Meeting
- In current master (for 4.2.0), Marc will add a stronger message
- For 4.3, we suggest to remove support for the mysql extension
[edit] Next IRL team meeting
[edit] Agenda
Now that Linuxtag 2014 (Berlin, 8-10May2014) is announced, we should start thinking if we will have a IRL team meeting in 2014 and when/where that should be, if budget allows. Or will we postpone (and save money) for a team meeting down under in 2015?
--ruleant (talk) 15:22, 11 December 2013 (CET)
[edit] Meeting
We discussed the subject, with no real decision. It's unclear whether we have the budget for a team meeting in Australia or not. Also, Marc invites the team to look at http://linux.conf.au to see if it could be an interesting conference (would have to be in 2015, as the one in 2014 happens in January). And what is the benefit of Australia, compared to a US or Europe one.
The difficult subject of who earns an invitation will have to be discussed.

Exxon Mobil Corp plans to buy XTO Energy Inc for about $30 billion in stock, in a move that thrusts the U.S. energy giant to the forefront of North America's fast-growing natural gas industry.
With the buy, Exxon, the largest publicly traded energy company, will become the top U.S. natural gas producer as it bets on natural gas expanding its share in the world's largest energy market.
The bid, announced on Monday, spurred expectation of a wave of consolidation in the energy industry as cash-rich companies such as Exxon move to snap up smaller players with attractive assets.
The deal, which is subject to XTO shareholder approval and expected to close in the second quarter, would be Exxon's biggest since it purchased Mobil Corp in 1999, and the eighth-largest ever in the energy and power sector.
Exxon will issue 0.7098 common share for each share of XTO, representing a premium of about 25 percent over XTO's closing price on Friday of $41.49.
Exxon's shares fell 4.3 percent to $69.69 on Monday, while XTO shares jumped more than 15 percent to $47.86 on the New York Stock Exchange.
The American Stock Exchange index of natural gas companies jumped nearly 5 percent, with Chesapeake Energy Corp up 5.8 percent at $24.37 and Devon Energy Corp up 4.6 percent at $66.80 on the New York Stock Exchange.
The deal is valued at $41 billion, including about $10 billion in XTO debt, and is based on the December 11 closing share prices of the two companies.
XTO, based in Fort Worth, Texas, is one of the leading developers of unconventional resources including shale oil and gas or gas trapped in sands with low permeability that require advanced drilling techniques to recover.
These resources have emerged as a potentially huge new resource play in North America, and their development has so far been dominated by independent U.S. exploration and production companies. But now, big oil companies like Exxon are starting to look for reserves around the world.

Recently the HOA voted for a special assessment to put up a fence around the parking area, and residents were given an access device to open the gate. I was behind in my HOA payments and was not given the device. However, this is not a parking garage, it is a flat-surface lot with deeded parking spaces, and I have now been denied access to my space. I am able sometimes to follow another resident into the lot when the gate is opened, and the HOA cannot do anything about this once I am in.
I made two offers of monthly payments to bring my account into current account. They were both refused, even though they were reasonable, and so I stopped paying the HOA fees and assessment. They now want the money and have threatened legal action, but I want to push back and take legal action against the HOA for denying me access to my deeded parking space.
I am in Georgia. What is my legal recourse?

You'll need to have a local attorney review your deed and your HOA's by-laws and CC&Rs in order to advise you.

I agree with the previous poster, you may want to consult with a local Georgia Real Estate Lawyer to address this issue.

Please ask/discuss before adding additional categories!
Q: Many quests have townsfolk or NPCs that are treated as a "hero figure." Others, such as in the Cardinal's Plight quest, have NPC's that are treated as a "hero." What is the difference?
Q: Can heroes trade with figures "treated like heroes"?
Q: If the Overlord is dragging out an encounter that he is in a position to win (in order to beat up the heroes and draw more cards for the 2nd encounter), can the heroes choose to forfeit -- and end the encounter immediately -- or do they just have to take their lumps?
Q: Do NPCs that have no stamina convert any stamina loss suffered from an attack or an ability into damage?
Q: When either tokens treated as heroes or monsters have "only 1 move action", does that mean they can only perform 1 move action during their turn and absolutely nothing else? Or does it mean that they can spend their 2nd action to attack or remove stun, burning etc?
Q: Does the overlord draw a card when he defeats/destroys a "hero" token (peasant, miner, etc)?
Q: When heroes skip their first turn, it would mean they skip their entire turn structure, including start of turn refreshes, would that be right?
Q: Since the transition between encounters did not specify that exhausted cards are to be refreshed, would that mean that exhausted cards carried over from the end of encounter 1 would remain exhausted until the respective players take their first turn?
Q: Does refreshing occur before activating familiars? I.e. "Terracall" would no longer be considered exhausted (carried over from last turn) for the purpose of stone attacking, during the Geomancer's turn, even if he chooses to activate the stones first?
Q: When are the used Travel Event cards shuffled back into their deck?
Q: When a Secret Room is in play is it considered to be part of the map? Or more specifically, is a hero on the Secret Room tile considered to be "on the map"?
Q: Can you spend surges on a ranged "miss" to recover fatigue or activate other abilities?
Q: Can you spend surges on a melee "miss" (fewer hearts than shields) to recover fatigue or activate other abilities?
Q: Assuming hero took fatigue equal to his stamina. Can hero recover fatigue from surge and use it on another skill within the same attack?
Q: Does blast propagate conditions to all affected?
Q: Do adjacent units targeted by an attack with Blast both take the extra blast damage in addition to the targeted damage?
`Q: When resolving "Blast" or "Fire Breath," is there an order choice in terms of resolving damage dealing/suffering? Specifically, say a Necromancer and Reanimate are both affected by the same attack on the OL's turn. Can the Overlord choose to "resolve damage" against the Reanimate first to prevent the use of "Dark Pact," or is the damage applied simultaneously, allowing the Necromancer to use the skill?
Q: KO'd heroes can only be targeted for healing. Can a hidden hero's token be targeted with healing or other abilities?
Q: Can you use hero abilities like "Defend" on NPCs like the Cardinal and Sir Palamon?
Q: Can Berserker use "Counter Attack" with a Melee weapon with Reach, against monster that attacked him with it's Reach attack, not from adjacent space?
Q: Are additional 2 life points recovered by "Brute" skill associated with Stand Up action and Revive Hero action? Or maybe with "Brute," Berserker always recovers 2 more life, no matter what effect causes him to be revived?
Q: What happens to Valor tokens between encounters? Or if the hero is KO'd? Do they stay or go?
Q: If a Champion is knocked out, can other heroes still use valour tokens for "Valour of Heroes" (+1 damage) or "Glory of Battle" (+1 shield)?
Q: Can one use "Advance" when there's no enemy within 2 spaces of Knight just to get additional movement?
Q: When monster uses skills like "Flail," "Leap," which target number of heroes, one of which is Knight, can Knight use "Defend"? What will the effect be? The figure cannot be attacked by the same attack twice, so does it cancel out one of targets?
Q: If I use "Defense Training" instead of exhausting shield, can I still exhaust the same shield during the same attack?
Q: Does the surge effect of Enfeebling Hex require at least 1 damage dealt before you are allowed to Hex a monster? Also, does it allow you to hex the target monster itself?
Q: If a Necromancer is surrounded and has no empty space adjacent to him, can he still summon his Reanimate? Does it spawn in the closest empty available space or is he completely barred from using the ability?
Q: Does "Break the Rune" target the runemaster?
Q: Can Runemaster hero use Runic Knowledge surge ability if he has no fatigue to suffer and suffer 1 damage instead?
Q: Can the Runemaster exhaust Quick Casting after an attack to trigger exploding rune?
Q: "Stoneskin" - When you add a gray dice exhausting this skill, how long does the added dice last ?? ( Only for the attack that allowed the use of stoneskin or until the skill is refreshed ? )
Q: When you use a class skill that results in multiple monsters to suffer damage or heroes to recover damage and/or fatigue at the same time ( like tempest, vigor, share pain, and so on ) and you then exhaust "Ancestor Spirits," what is the result ? Are all the monsters poisoned or only one ? Same for Heroes, are all recovering additionnal damage and fatigue or only one ?
Q: Can Wildlander use a "Nimble" skill when monster is 'expanding' to adjacent space (in order to attack Wildlander) and didn't actually used movement point to enter that space?
Q: Is "Nimble" an interrupt? When the Wildlander wishes to trigger "Nimble" when a large monster moves adjacent to him, must the Overlord first expand the large monster (like against the "Knight's Guard")?
Q: Does Black Arrow deal 3 damage before or after surges are spent?
Q: Andira Runehand's hero ability reads: "Each time you suffer 1 or more damage from an adjacent figure, that figure suffers 1 damage." If Andira has fatigue equal to her stamina and suffers fatigue due to an ability of an adjacent monster, say an leech ability (or a master cave spider's web ability), does the monster take 1 damage from Andira?
Q: For Arvel Worldwalker and Hugo the Glorious, do their rerolls need to be kept or can they use the original roll?
Q: When Astarra moves using her ability, does she actually have to trace a path on the map to reach the target square, or just place herself adjacent to the hero? Would monsters in between her and the hero block her movement? Would she suffer from effects such as lava or freezing? Can the OL pit trap her during this movement?
Q: How do Power Potions work with Aurim?
Q: Would 'Elder Mok' reover 1 damage/fatigue per hero affected? Ex. Staff of light.
Q: Hello, I hope You can help in clarifying how to read revised Elder Mok's Ability.
Q: Does Grey Ker get a complete second turn in the round in which he uses his heroic feat?
Q: One example would be Ispher's "At the start of your turn, recover 1 Health". Does Ispher Stand Up with 1 Health for free because of his ability?
Q: If Jain Fairwood uses her ability and converts all damage received to fatigue, does she still receive a condition that requires her to take 1 [heart]?
Q: If Jain Fairwood converts all damage suffered to fatigue, do game effects triggered by damage still apply? The original question involved spending a surge to apply the Poison condition, but there are other effects as well. It was argued that because damage is step 5 of combat, the surge in step 4 would still be able to poison Jain because (potential) damage was rolled.
Q: Can Laughin use his feat while stunned? Would he get 3 attacks or 2 attacks?
Q: Regarding Leoric's heroic ability: "Each monster within 3 spaces of you receives -1 Wounds on all attack rolls (to a minimum of 1)." Is the -1 wound applied to the entire attack after surge abilities are determined or just to the actual wounds that are rolled on the dice?
Q: Lord Hawthorne's heroic feat lets him perform an attack, move up to 2 spaces and then perform an attack again.
Knight's Advance let's him move up to his speed(4) and attack again.
If he uses his heroic feat and kills the monster and activates Advance what happens? Does he get 6 movement points in total and can attack twice after moving that much?
I believe it works like this, let's name the space on which Lord Hawthorne is standing when doing first attack Starting Space.
I believe he can move up to 2 from Starting Space then make and attack from Advance, then he can move up to 4 counting from Starting Space and attack from heroic feat. So that gives him max 4 movement, not 6. Is that right?
Q: Mad Carthos' hero ability says once per turn, when using a skill that costs 1 fatigue it will cost zero fatigue instead. It doesn't say "per round", it doesn't specify whose turn it should be. Does that mean I could possibly use 1 fatigue skill on my turn, then on each of other 3 heroes' turns, and on overlord's turn, each time for free?
This also affects Sir Valadir and Astarra.
Can Sir Valadir use his ability on his turn, then on overlord's turn if Sir Valadir counterattacks? Can Astarra use her ability to "teleport" with move action granted by Syndrael's feat, on Syndrael's turn, then "teleport" again on Astarra's turn?
Q: I have a question about One Fist, from Descent's Conversion Kit. It says One Fist can make a free Melee attack, no real problem with that. But does he count as "armed with a Melee weapon" for the purpose of all the skills that let a character "perform an attack with a melee weapon" (like Charge, Death Rage, Guard, etc...) or for skills that trigger when you have "2 Melee weapons with 1 hand icon each" (like Weapon Mastery) ?
Q: The first sentence of One Fist's ability reads "You can only equip 1 hand icon worth of equipment." It does not say "You can only equip 1 hand icon worth of weapons" or "The combination of One Fist's equipped items may not have more than one hand icons in total" both of which would clearly indicate he can equip non-weapon equipment.
Since the ability says the only "equipment" he can equip is that which has one hand icon on it, and since "equipment" includes armor and "other" stuff, the reading seems to indicate he can't equip anything that is not a one-handed weapon.
May One First equip any non-weapon equipment?
Q: Sahla's heroic feat allows him to use another heroes skill - If he had full fatigue could he use a skill like Iron Will to gain a stamina to use prayer of healing?
Q: Does Sahla's heroic feat allow him to use an exhausted skill card of another hero?
Q: How does Sahla's heroic feat work with familiars summoned by class cards?
Q: Can Silhouette activate her Heroic Feat, and then, before performing any moves, search a token adjacent to her for free? Can Silhouette use her Heroic Feat to move ten spaces and THEN get a free search of an adjacent search token? Can she do both?
The real question behind these questions is: What does "you move adjacent to [a token]" mean? Does it mean "when you enter a space adjacent to [a token]" or something else? if something else, what? See an applicable diagram of the problem in my original post at (1)
Q: Can Silhouette's Heroic Feat be used to search Challenge Tokens, or is she literally limited to just being able to search Search Tokens?
Q: If Tomble is carrying an objective token (Trueshot Bow, crop, Idol, etc.) and decides to use his heroic feat to vanish off of the board, does the objective token get dropped or does it disappear with him off of the board?
Q: Does Valyndra's Hoarder ability activates on searching Challenge tokens?
Q: The Skye familiar states that an adjacent monster may be forced to reroll. If a monster occupies the same space as Skye is that still considered adjacent?
Q: What is the interaction of the Blast attack modifier with Widow Tarha's Feat?
Q: Can Zyla fly over the boulders in Death on the Wing?
Q: Does Zyla suffer a fatigue when moving out of a space containing a master spider when she is moving through?
Q: Can an ally enter a secret room (as they are treated as heroes)?
Q: Does Raythen's Investigate allow the Treasure Hunter to use Gold Rush if he/she is the closest hero?
Q: Can Raythen perform an Investigate action on a challenge token? We assume no as Investigate specifically states search token.
Q: What happens if the ally is the only 'hero' in the secret room when the final challenge token is discarded (either by OL or by special interactions; e.g. successful awareness test by ally in Brigand's Quarters)? Is the reward lost or will it be transferred to the nearest hero? (1)
Q: Aura ability. Shadow don't stack, command don't stack…what about aura?
Q: Can monsters with Fly ability move over (through) obstacles?
Q: Can flying creature has its movement interrupted by skills like Knight's Guard or Thief's Caltrops or Wildlander's Nimble?
Q: Does flying creature needs 2 movement points to end it's movement on the water? Does flying creature takes 1 damage from lava when it lands on lava?
Q: Is flying creature defeated when ending it's activation on lava?
Q: Does the Shadow trait stack when a melee unit is adjacent to multiple Shadow units?
Q: The Shadow ability on the Shadow Dragon specifically states that "a hero adjacent..." needs to expend a surge to have a successful attack. Is the Summoned Stone and/or the Geomancer affected by Shadow when using the following abilities: Terracall, Cataclysm, Molten Fury, and Earthen Anguish,
Q: [Must/May] one of the Kobolds that comes into play after the "Split" ability be placed in the space where the Master Kobold was standing when he died and triggered the Split?
Q: How much range is required to hit a Stealthy unit with a melee attack?
Q: Does the Ice Wyrm's Swallow ability prevent standing up, or only revival?
Q: Does sweep affect all figures in range or is line of sight required also?
Q: Web: Do heroes have to pay one fatigue to move out of each and every square adjacent to the Master Cave Spider during their movement? For example a character attempting to run past a Master Cave Spider in a two square wide corridor (a hallway for instance) would end up paying a total of three fatigue to travel through the three squares adjacent to the spider in order to get completely past it.
Q: Line of sight is blocked when it "passes through the edge of a map tile, a door, or a blocked space" or "passes along the edge of a blocked space". Some people argue that it is not explicitly blocked if it passes along the edge of a map tile or a door, even though the topology is almost identical. Are you allowed to fire along a wall, but not past a figure or obstacle?
Q: When counting range for an attack, is there any difference between spaces containing figure and obstacle-spaces? Is counting through obstacles forbidden?
Q: In regards to attribute tests in secret rooms, the special rules on two cards read "if he passes, he may search 1 challenge token in this room without performing an action". Is this irrespective of adjacency to the challenge token or does adjacency still apply?
Q: Do the thick black borders on the outside edges of the tiles prevent line of sight from being traced to/from them, or in the case of single points at corners, through them? Here's the image people are arguing about, wondering whether the north Villager and/or the south Villager have line of sight to the Flesh Moulder:
Q: Can you confirm the Line of Sight examples in the following diagram, where red lines do not have LoS and blue lines do have LoS:
Q: If an ability allows you to inflict a condition on a figure that is not the target of the attack ("Shield Slam"), are you still required to inflict at least one damage on the target figure in order for the condition to apply to the other figure?
Does Immobilize stop movement gained from other abilities that grand movement points or let hero move up to speed?
Q: Can the heroes buy Act II item cards after the interlude, or must they wait until after the first Act II quest?
Q: If the item search deck is depleted, do we simply reshuffle the discarded item cards to draw from? Such as discarded cards from appraise and any resolved "nothing" or "treasure chest" cards?
Q: If only Zachareth can use "Shadow Rune" surges, why does the description read "each of your attacks gains" as opposed to the "Duskblade's" description of "each of this lieutenant's attacks gain"?
Q: Must potions be equipped before they can be used?
Q: Can "Fortuna's Die" be used on the Necromancer's ability, "Army of Death"?
Q: Can "Lucky Charm" be used (how many times) during a Travel?
Q: In a round hero A exhausts "Mana Weave" and trades it to hero B, who hasn't taken his turn yet. Would "Mana Weave" refresh on hero B's turn? By RAW Hero B is unable to equip the "Mana Weave" before it could refresh, but it is unclear if unequipped items refresh.
Q: If the ring of power is traded while someone has full fatigue, thereby losing the +1 stamina do they suffer a heart too?
Q: In regards to "Shield of the Dark God," when the heroes decide to re-roll several defense die, are the results considered better individually per die or on a cumulative basis?
Q: Does a knocked out hero recover health/fatigue between encounters?
Q: Can you trade with a hero token that represents either a knocked out or "hidden" hero?
Q: Do passive abilities of a hero work when he is knocked out? For example Avric Albright's ability that allows heroes within 3 spaces of him to use surge to recover 1 health point or "No Mercy" skill from Champion class.
Q: If the Overlord plays a trap card in response to a hero performing a Search action, and the trap ends up defeating the hero, does the hero player still get to draw a search card?
Q: When, exactly, is a "move action" considered to end?
Q: Can excessive movement points be carried from turn to turn?
Q: What's the deal with Movement Points, when can you use them?
Q: What is consider as "entering a space".
Q: Can a figure willingly enter a pit space occupied by a friendly figure?
Q: If the movement of a large monster is interrupted (e.g: with caltrops) and there is no space to "expand" it, how do you proceed?
Q: How does interrupting movement to attack interact with large monster movement?
Q: May large monsters interrupt a move action with another action (e.g., open door, attack) after hey have shrunk to 1x1 but before they have spent a movement point so that they can expand in a direction different than their orientation before the move action? See post for description of proposed mechanic: (1)
Q: How to treat large monsters, when reduced to 1x1 during their movement - especially in context of pit spaces: If a "shrunken" large monster enters a pit space, does it suffer 2 damage and ends its movement or is it totally immune to the pit spaces while moving?
Q: According to rules, only 3 effects can affect Characters Treated As Heroes: monster attacks, hero abilities, and Overlord cards that target a hero. What rules allows using skills (e.g. Oath of Honor) with them? Can monster actions (e.g. Throw) affect them?
Q: What about items (e.g. "Staff of Light" [action])? What about overlord cards: "Word of Misery," "Word of Pain," "Word of Despair," "Diabolic Power"? Do they affect something treated like a hero?
Q: Familiar activation rules state: "A hero player may activate each familiar his hero controls once during his hero turn (either before or after resolving all of his heroâ?Ts actions). Activating a familiar does not require an action, but it may not interrupt any other action. Essentially, a hero player with a familiar must choose whether to activate his hero first or his familiar first. Regardless, both may be activated during his turn." What exactly is hero activation? It's never defined.
Is it possible to use fatigue points to move, then activate the familiar, then activate the hero to perform his 2 actions? Additional Movement section says only "A hero may suffer fatigue to receive additional movement points during his turn." which leads me to believe heroes can do that during "Start of turn" or "Equip Items" steps.
Can hero use some abilities that are not actions before familiar's activation, then activate familiar, then activate himself?
Q: What happens when a Summoned Stone or a Reanimate gets stunned?
Q: When a familiar (e.g. Skye) is below another monster (1 space big) is its "adjacency" requirement fulfilled?
Q: When familiar (e.g. Skye) is below a large monster which occupies more fields, is it adjacent?
Q: What are the movement rules of Summoned Stones?
Q: Only Fat Goblin's 1st encounter says that monsters reinforcing at the beginning of the Overlord's turn may be activated upon the turn they are placed on the map. Does that apply to reinforcing monsters placed at the beginning of the Overlord's turn in all other quests (where nothing is said about when one can activate them)?
Q: I have a question about the crossbow and large monsters: How does the 1 space movement work for large monsters? Does the hero get to shrink the monster to 1 space, move it 1 space, and then expand it in any direction the hero chooses?
Q: What defines a monster "attack"? Players have proposed various tests: (a) does it do damage, (b) does it use the word "attack" on the card, (c) does it involve rolling the blue attack die? Is Bash considered an attack? It meets (a), but not (b) or (c).
Q: Flame Breath (and similar powers). As we understand things, it can trace its path around corners and through obstacles like boulders (but not doors) because LOS is irrelevant to it since it is not implicitly stated to require it and it's not actually moving in such a way that obstacles would impeded it.
Q: When the overlord is reinforcing for the turn does he choose the master monster or minion monster his choice while respecting group limits?
Q: In the conversion kit, the Act I Skeleton Archer minion requires no surge for its Pierce 1 ability, but the Act II minion requires a surge for its Pierce 2 ability. Is this correct, or should the Pierce 2 ability for the Act II minion be surge-free?
Q: If I have 7 Minions on field, thanks to split, can I reinforce another Master ? (potentially gaining more minions)
Q: All monster's surge abilities get better in Act II except for the Ettin where they get worse. Is this a misprint, or is it intentional?
Q: I still have some confusion over the correct functioning of Undying (and by extension, Split). Let's take Ogres as an example. Assuming one has Descent, there are two minion figures and one master figure available, with a group limit in D2E of 1/1. Say I have a master and a minion Ogre on the board in a four-hero game. If the master is killed before the minion, what happens?
Q: When can we play "Dash" or "Frenzy"? When we first activate the monster before we take actions? Or at any time while we are still activating said monster?
Q: Can you spend the additional attack granted by "Frenzy" on a monster action that provokes an attack (assuming action limits are respected)? E.g: can an elemental do (Fire, Fire) with "Frenzy"?
Q: Can the Overlord play two "Dark Fortune" cards on a single defense roll? Can he play it on two different dice in a defense roll? Can he play it on one die twice in a row?
Q: Can the Overlord card Mimic be played when a hero uses a search action to uncover a Challenge token on a Secret Room tile?
Q: Say the Runemaster is affected by "Dark Charm" and makes an attack, and the dice rolled displays a surge. May the runemaster use the surge for applying "Runic Knowledge", thus suffering himself +1 fatigue?
Q: Does this action must be performed immediately or can other monsters be activated first?
Q: Can charmed hero move through monsters figures? Heroes figures?
Q: Can monsters attack charmed hero?
Q: Can Overlord play Overlord Cards on charmed hero? Especially can traps be played as if he were hero? Can "Frenzy" be played as if he were monster?
Q: When Leoric is affected by "Dark Charm," are his own attacks reduced by one heart, due to his hero's ability (in other words, as a hero is considered as a monster, does he loose all his heroic abilities, including the 'passive' ones)?
Q: During "Dark Charm," the only restriction is not spending fatigue, so: Can the OL use Bow/Rune/Weapon Mastery and/or "Mana Weave"? Can the OL spend Valour? If attacking themselves, can the hero spend Valour? Can the OL use "Valorous Strike"?
Q: When a hero fails the "Dark Charm" test and the Overlord forces him to attack himself,
Q: The OL card Flurry says "additional attack" as opposed to the older Frenzy which says "additional attack action". Is Flurry meant to be an additional attack action, or can Flurry also allow for a special action that includes an attack, such as Skirmish or Sweep?""
Q: On the OL card Reflective Ward, what exactly does "hearts dealt" mean?
For example: 8 hearts against 2 shields on a monster with only 5 health -- Is "hearts dealt" 8, 6, or 5?
Q: In "The Cardinal's Plight" can the Cardinal be diseased when does he start testing it? While the door is sealed or when the library is open? Also in respect to the Cardinal is he effected by attacks that do no target him but do damage IE blast or howl?
Q: Do objective token IE the altar in "The Cardinal's Plight" block los / movement and can you end your movement on the altar?
Q: Quest book reads: "Frederick immediately moves his Speed and performs 1 attack, then the hero resumes." Does he have to move? Does he have to move full speed? Does he have to move so he can attack? Does he have to attack?
Q: In "Castle Daerion," can master ettins throw Sir Palamon?
Q: Castle Daerion En2 - Does a villager that has a valor token at the end of Encounter 1, carry over that valor token to Encounter 2
Q: In "The Dawnblade" and "The Desecrated Tomb," when the quest book says that a hero or Sir Alric is carrying the Dawnblade/Duskblade, is that character actually wielding the item and allowed to use the abilities associated with the relic? If this is the case, is Sir Alric allowed to have two relics in these quests? For example, could he begin the encounter with the Shield of Zorek's favor and then later pick up the Duskblade?
Q: In Dawnblade Encounter 1, can the Overlord (draw a card and/or) play Dark Charm before the Ray of Sunlight moves and force a hero off of Arcite's Tomb? Or does the Ray of Sunlight move before ANYTHING else the Overlord can do?
Q: In the Desecrated Tomb Encounter 2, the quest guide is quite clear on how Khorayt moves and who he attacks, but who gets to determine how he will spend surges (if there is a choice) and how flame breath would travel?
Q: In the Desecrated Tomb Encounter 2, can Khorayt take damage from heroes, or only Alric?
Q: Can Ruin attack in the "The Frozen Spire" scenario?
Q: Can Ruin be immobilized by a Hero?
Q: Ruin has a speed of 1 and is a large monster. By applying the large monster movement rules, he would actualy move 1 space, and then since it's base is 2 width he could be positioned so that essentialy he moved 2 spaces. Is that correct?
Q: Can "The Masquerade Ball" encounter one victory roll be affected by "Dark Fortune" or "Staff of Shadows" (if Eliza is on the map still)?
Q: In Encounter 2 of "The Masquerade Ball," would Eliza's movement trigger the open group to be placed in Goblin's Cave?
Q: In Encounter 2 of "The Masquerade Ball," would a door which was closed after it was opened require a test to smash/answer riddle/pick lock again? Or can the door be treated like normal? Similarly, does the stuck door in "The Shadow Vault" require Might testing every time to open it?
Q: In Encounter 2, can you use two actions to test two separate doors?
Q: In Encounter 2, do the heroes win if they get one hero off the exit or all?
Q: In "The Monster's Hoard" quest, encounter 1, the reinforcement rule says that the Overlord may not place a monster that does not fit on the Entrance. Is that restriction only about the moster's size (i.e. as explained in the Monsters paragraph: a six-space large monster cannot be used) or does it extend to the situation where the Entrance is occupied by another monster (e.g. a Merriod) which would lead one to place the reinforcement monster in the nearest possible space?
Q: The Shadow Ritual: what happens with Fleshmolders that are defeated in encounter 1 in the transition to encounter 2? Can the OL still place them anew in encounter 2? or does he have to play without killed fleshmolders?
Q: The Shadow Ritual: What happens to conditions on Merric in the transition from encounter 1 to encounter 2? Does they stick on him?
Q: The Shadow Ritual: What happens with the Relic if the Overlord wins this quest? Does he keep it or will it be returned to the gamebox? The victory for the heroes says that the heroes recieve the Relic from the Overlord, but the Overlord does not have it explicitly in the first place under his pocession. Only during this quest Merric wields it, someone could read. So which side is correct? The Ol recieves it after winning this map pernamently or it is returned to the gamebox?
Q: It was mentioned in a previous ruling that the Overlord cannot win Staff of Shadows in the quest: Ritual of Shadows, if he did not originally own it. However, may heroes win Staff of Light, as per Rewards section?
Q: In the Ritual of Shadows, when transiting to encounter 2, it is possible that there are flesh moulders or even Lord Merick himself at the exit (due to Crossbow or Trueshot not dealing damage, just moving him in encounter 1). Does that mean that some heroes will be placed in the nearest empty squares for those cases?
Q: The odd case in the above question could be that Lord Merick could be at the innermost part of the exit, blocked by 3 heroes. Would that waste the fatigue he earned in encounter 1?
Q: Can Blood Rage be used on Lord Merick in encounter 1? It would create the odd scenario where neither side could win because they cannot fulfill the victory condition. And if it can be played, does Lord Merick get 2 attacks, given that he is only able to perform the ritual, according to the quest guide?
Q: If the Overlord wins this quest, can the overlord hand back tier 1/2 cards while keeping the tier 3 card?
Q: In "Shadow Vault," if there is a monster standing on the Stream space closest to the River's Edge, may a hero swim to the closest available stream space? ...
Q: In the Shadow Vault quest, may the OL use "Unholy Ritual" on the monsters that are placed on the river edge when they cannot be activated?
Q: Is the Overlord able to block the heroes from using the stairs (red tokens) by having Zachareth standing on the red token in the cave behind the locked door?
Q: In the twin idols, how is a monster who is carrying the idol affected by a stun condition? (the quest rules say he can only take one action, either move or drop the idol) Does he remove the stun and end his turn, or can he still move like a normal monster after removing the stun?
A: He would remove the Stun and end his turn. (1)
Q: In "The Wyrm Turns", Encounter 1, Belthir can perform 1 move action and another action that isn't a move. Can Belthir spend this second action to do his special action "Cry Havoc" to gain more distance?
Q: Do the Lair of the Wyrm quests such as "Gold Digger," "Rude Awakening," and "What's Yours Is Mine" award one xp per player at completion?
Q: In "At the Forge" encounter 1, the Shadow Dragons "cannot be moved by any game effect which would allow them to move additional steps". However, can they be moved by Crossbow/Trueshot?
Q: In "At the Forge" encounter 2, can Shadow Dragons be chosen as one of the open group, regardless of whether any dragon escaped encounter 1? Can Reinforce be played on Shadow Dragons if they are not chosen as an Open Group (because they are stated in the "Monster" section of that quest?
Q: Can I use dark priest's "Dark Prayer" to give the fatigue token to Jorem? Or is it just by damage alone?
Q: Can the Master Ettin "Throw" Jorem?
Q: What happen if the quest allow some monster to exit the map before the encounter end and they can carrying the sunstone? For example Gathering Foretold encounter. Spling Reclamation, monster carrying the talisman and the sunstone. Do they drop the sunstone at the last space of the exit or it count as overlord gaining the sunstone.
Q: In Honor Among Thieves E2, does Raythen's Investigate apply when he checks an objective token that is revealed to be a search token?
Q: In Honor Among Thieves E2, can the OL card Mimic be played when an objective token is revealed to be a search token?
Q: Can a hero pick up and carry more than 1 objective token at a time? Is this generally true of other quests where heroes can pick up objective tokens?
Q: It says that the heroes are lost if they are not within 3 spaces of the Will-o-wisp or within 3 spaces of a hero that can see the will-o-wisp. Can the heroes chain this: Hero A can see Wisp, Hero B can see Hero A, and Hero C can see Hero B? Or does it only have 1 link?

Rochester, Minn.
Describes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a rare immune system disorder that causes swelling and damage to small- and medium-sized blood vessels in the body. In order to properly treat this disease, it is critical that the level of disease activity can be determined over the course of the disease. The purpose of this study is to determine new biological markers, or biomarkers, that may be used to assess the severity of disease in people with PAN.
Study statuses change often. Please contact us for help.
Open for enrollment
The purpose of this study is the continuation of the CARRA Registry to support data collection on patients with pediatric-onset rheumatic diseases. The CARRA Registry will form the basis for future CARRA studies. In particular, this observational registry will be used to answer pressing questions about therapeutics used to treat pediatric rheumatic diseases, including safety questions.
Assessing disease activity in people with Takayasu's arteritis is difficult, as most people with the disease do not exhibit visible, measurable symptoms. Combination positron emission tomography/computed axial tomography (PET/CT) is a particularly sensitive, accurate scanning method that may improve researchers' ability to evaluate people with the disease. This study will determine the effectiveness of PET/CT in assessing disease activity in people with Takayasu's arteritis.
Contact us for the latest status
During the early phases (phases 1 and 2), researchers assess safety, side effects, optimal dosages and risks/benefits. In the later phase (phase 3), researchers study whether the treatment works better than the current standard therapy. They also compare the safety of the new treatment with that of current treatments. Phase 3 trials include large numbers of people to make sure that the result is valid. There are also less common very early (phase 0) and later (phase 4) phases. Phase 0 trials are small trials that help researchers decide if a new agent should be tested in a phase 1 trial. Phase 4 trials look at long-term safety and effectiveness, after a new treatment has been approved and is on the market.
The purpose of this post-marketing study is to compare the safety of tofacitinib versus tumor necrosis factor inhibitor with respect to major cardiovascular adverse events and malignancies, excluding non-melanoma skin cancers, when given to subjects with rheumatoid arthritis. Other safety events, including non-melanoma skin cancers, hepatic events, infections, and effectiveness parameters will be collected and evaluated in the study.
The purpose of this study is to enroll rheumatic disease patients and first-degree relatives in a biobank, and to follow them over time to assess health outcomes and collect additional specimens.
Like other complex diseases, autoimmune diseases are the result of numerous causes, including genetic and environmental factors. Some researchers believe that people who are susceptible to autoimmune disorders develop them when the body reacts to environmental or other factors by creating white blood cells that attack the body s own tissues, which then progresses to autoimmune diseases. These immune-triggered disorders can overlap with one another to some extent, but most autoimmune diseases have certain distinct triggers. - The autoimmune disorder myositis weakens the muscles and may cause other health problems. Environmental exposures associated with myositis include ultraviolet radiation, stressful life events and muscle overexertion, collagen implants, infections such as retroviruses and streptococci bacteria, and certain drugs and chemicals. Some individuals with myositis also produce proteins in the blood called autoantibodies that react with certain parts of the person s own cells, called synthetases, which are involved in making new proteins. A syndrome called the anti-synthetase syndrome, which includes myositis and lung disease, is associated with having the anti-synthetase autoantibodies. Researchers are interested in studying differences in environmental exposures in individuals with myositis. This study is being conducted to determine if persons with the anti-synthetase syndrome have had different environmental exposures before disease onset compared with other patients with myositis who do not have this syndrome and also compared with healthy volunteers.
Vasculitis is group of diseases where inflammation of blood vessels is the common feature. Patients typically present with fever, fatigue, weakness and muscle and joint aches. These symptoms are very common among many different diseases, not just vasculitis. A clustering of other symptoms, physical examination findings, blood tests, radiology and biopsy help make the diagnosis. There are currently no criteria to help doctors make a diagnosis of vasculitis when a patient presents with these non specific symptoms and they are reliant on previous experience and disease definitions. One of the aims of this project is to develop diagnostic criteria for the primary systemic vasculitides (granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's), microscopic polyangiitis, Churg Strauss syndrome, polyarteritis nodosa, giant cell arteritis, Takayasu arteritis). We, the investigators, will do this by studying a large group of patients with vasculitis and comparing them to a large group of patients that present in a similar way, but do not have vasculitis. By comparing the 2 groups we will create a list of items to differentiate between vasculitis and 'vasculitis mimics'. We also aim to update the current classification criteria. Classification criteria are used to group patients into different types of vasculitis, once a diagnosis of vasculitis has been made, and are useful for studying patients in clinical trials with similar or identical diseases. The current classification criteria (American college of Rheumatology 1990 criteria) were developed 20 years ago, before the availability of some important diagnostic tests (e.g. antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies [ANCA]), and are now not consistent with some of the current disease definitions. Therefore to progress future research in vasculitis, it is important that the classification criteria are updated. We will recruit 260 patients with each of the 6 types of vasculitis and compare them with 1300 controls (patients with the 5 other types of vasculitis), in order to determine the optimal combination of symptoms, signs and investigations that classify each person into the appropriate group.
The purpose of this study is to determine how best to monitor for flares in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the role of etanercept alone or in combination with methotrexate on disease activity in subjects with psoriatic arthritis.
Takayasu's arteritis is a rare disorder that causes swelling and damage to the large arteries in the body, such as the aorta. In order to ensure proper treatment, measuring disease activity is critical. The purpose of this study is to establish new biological markers (biomarkers) to assess the severity of disease in people with Takayasu's arteritis.

Expedition Four Commander Yury Onufrienko and Flight Engineers Carl Walz and Dan Bursch, beginning their 10th week on orbit, received volumes of information and training materials from the flight control team on the ground, participated in computer-based training sessions, and checked out the spacesuit, airlock and experiment systems that will be used Feb. 20. A full dry-run of the airlock depressurization is planned Friday.
The excursion will mark the first use of the station's airlock since July 2001 and will test equipment and techniques that will be used during the April STS-110 assembly mission, when four spacewalks out of the Quest airlock will install the first piece of the station's structural and electrical "backbone." Bursch and Walz will perform a checkout of the airlock's systems, connect and disconnect several electrical cables, remove insulation blankets from the Z-1 truss structure and bring inside several tools to expedite the work planned for STS-110.
They will use U.S. space suits, with Walz, wearing a suit with red stripes on the legs and Bursch wearing an all-white suit. The spacewalk is scheduled to begin at about 6 a.m. CST Wednesday. NASA Television coverage will begin at 5:30 a.m. CST Wednesday. Experiment work also continued aboard the station, as crew members set up and activated the second Advanced Astroculture experiment. The investigation will grow mustard plant seeds harvested on board the station by the Expedition Two crew and returned after analysis on Earth, making them a true second generation of space-grown plant life. The University of Wisconsin-sponsored experiment studies Arabidopsis thaliana, which is renowned in genetic research circles as a key to identifying genes and determining their functions for entire classes of similar organisms.
The crew disassembled the Active Rack Isolation System, which suffered a push-rod failure, and will soon conduct repairs that will enable the system to resume its work. The system protects sensitive microgravity experiments from the motions caused by everyday crew life aboard the station.
The crew also worked with flight controllers on the ground to complete some unplanned maintenance work after Sunday's failure in a Remote Power Conversion Module (RPCM) that distributes power to a variety of station systems. Full functionality was restored to the non-critical systems that were affected in the Destiny laboratory module after Bursch and Walz replaced the glorified breaker box with an onboard spare. To access the module, they removed Bursch's temporary sleep station and replaced it, installing additional high-density plastic radiation protection bricks while they had the opportunity.
A planned upgrade of the station's software was postponed until after the Feb. 20 spacewalk to allow software engineers on the ground to perform one last set of tests to verify all aspects of the software load. The new software will prepare the station's computer systems for the arrival of the truss structure and other components to be delivered on STS-110 and future flights.

Tuques On! Hockey Fans Set To Brave NHL Winter Classic Chill
Snow pants? Check. Tuques? Check. Hand warmers? Check.
For Canadian Bob Breckles and family, that's the dress code this week as they take in three days of outdoor hockey games in sub-freezing Michigan.
Culminating in the Winter Classic event on New Year's Day at the Big House, the University of Michigan's 109,000-seat football stadium in Ann Arbor, festivities also include junior games, an American League game, and two well-hyped hockey alumni games in the Detroit Tigers' house, Comerica Park.
Many hockey enthusiasts, like Mr. Breckles, have been waiting two years for the Winter Classic, which this time around pits the Toronto Maple Leafs against the Detroit Red Wings. The big game, usually an annual event, was originally scheduled for Jan. 1, 2013, but was scuppered by last season's National Hockey League's lockout.
"I'm from Canada, so that's all we live for is hockey," said Mr. Breckles, who drove with his wife, Micki, two hockey-playing sons and his ice-skating daughter from their home outside Toronto to Detroit late Sunday.
Among the highlights, he said, would be watching Maple Leaf alumni teams take on Red Wing alumni teams in two separate games at Comerica Park.
"It's huge for the fans," George Bowman, secretary of the Detroit Red Wings alumni, told Canada Real Time just before the puck dropped on the first alumni game Tuesday. "It's unbelievable to see these guys come together."
The players, he said, are wearing long johns and stocking caps under their helmets to combat the freezing temperatures.
"It looks like it might snow a little bit, so that will be perfect pond-hockey atmosphere," Mr. Bowman said.
And while the weather is frosty, tension between the Toronto and Detroit teams has been heating up, now that the Leafs and the Wings are eastern division rivals for the first time since 1998. The two teams faced off just a week ago, with Toronto losing to Detroit in a shootout.
"It's cold here," said Mr. Breckles, who has season's tickets for the Toronto Maple Leafs. "But you know what? It's just really exciting to be here," he said.
Mr. Breckles expects the game's outcome to be worth the chill.
