In rural Tibet, the prevalence of lower limb pain, especially knee pain, is high: An observational study
ABSTRACT What is the point prevalence and 12-month prevalence of lower limb musculoskeletal pain in rural Tibet? Does this differ with gender or age? What factors that could contribute to lower limb musculoskeletal pain are commonly present?
Observational study using an investigator-administered questionnaire and observation walks through villages.
499 people aged 15 years and over living in 19 rural villages of Shigatse Municipality, Tibet.
The point prevalence of lower limb musculoskeletal pain was 40% (95% CI 34 to 46) while the 12-month prevalence was 48% (95% CI 42 to 54). In particular, the point prevalence of knee pain was 25% (95% CI 20 to 30) and the 12-month prevalence was 29% (95% CI 23 to 35), which was significantly higher than at any other site in the lower limb. On average, being female was not associated with lower limb musculoskeletal pain either currently (OR 1.3, 95% CI 0.9 to 1.9) or over the previous 12 months (OR 1.2, 95% CI 0.9 to 1.8), whereas being older than 50 years was, both for current pain (OR 4.1, 95% CI 2.8 to 6.1) and pain over the previous 12 months (OR 4.0, 95% CI 2.7 to 6.0). Observation walks through the villages revealed people squatting for sustained periods, carrying heavy loads for long distances, wearing poor quality footwear, and with severe bowing of the legs but no obesity.
Lower limb musculoskeletal pain, particularly knee pain, is common in this rural Tibetan population. They live an extremely arduous life that appears to place considerable pressure on their knees.

ABSTRACT: Worldwide, osteoarthritis (OA) is estimated to be the fourth leading cause of disability. Most of this disability burden is attributable to the involvement of the hips or the knees. OA is strongly associated with ageing and the Asian region is ageing rapidly. Further, OA has been associated with heavy physical occupational activity, a required livelihood for many people living in rural communities in developing countries. Unfortunately, joint replacement surgery, an effective intervention for people with severe OA involving the hips or knees, is inaccessible to most people in these regions. On the other hand, obesity, another major risk factor, may be less prevalent, although it is on the increase. Determining region-specific OA prevalence and risk factor profiles will provide important information for planning future cost-effective preventive strategies and health care services. An update of what is currently known about the prevalence of hip and knee OA from population-based studies conducted in the Asian region is presented in this review. Many of the recent studies have conducted comparisons between urban and rural areas and poor and affluent communities. The results of Asian-based studies evaluating risk factors from population-based cohorts or case-control studies, and the current evidence on OA morbidity burden in Asia is also outlined.International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases 05/2011; 14(2):113-21.

ABSTRACT: Chronic diseases account for most of the disease burden in low- and middle-income countries, particularly those in Asia. We reviewed literature on chronic disease risk factors in Viet Nam to identify patterns and data gaps. All population-based studies published from 2000 to 2012 that reported chronic disease risk factors were considered. We used standard chronic disease terminology to search PubMed and assessed titles, abstracts, and articles for eligibility for inclusion. We summarized relevant study information in tables listing available studies, risk factors measured, and the prevalence of these risk factors. We identified 23 studies conducted before 2010. The most common age range studied was 25 to 64 years. Sample sizes varied, and sample frames were national in 5 studies. A combination of behavioral, physical, and biological risk factors was studied. Being overweight or obese was the most common risk factor studied (n = 14), followed by high blood pressure (n = 11) and tobacco use (n = 10). Tobacco and alcohol use were high among men, and tobacco use may be increasing among Vietnamese women. High blood pressure is common; however, people's knowledge that they have high blood pressure may be low. A high proportion of diets do not meet international criteria for fruit and vegetable consumption. Prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing. None of the studies evaluated measured dietary patterns or total caloric intake, and only 1 study measured dietary salt intake. Risk factors for chronic diseases are common in Viet Nam; however, more recent and context-specific information is required for planning and monitoring interventions to reduce risk factors and chronic disease in this country.Preventing chronic disease 01/2013; 10(1):E05.

Article: A time for action: Opportunities for preventing the growing burden and disability from musculoskeletal conditions in low- and middleincome countries[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions cause an enormous global burden, and this is dramatically increasing in developing countries, particularly due to rapidly ageing populations and increasing obesity. Many of the global non-communicable disease (NCD) initiatives need to expand beyond the traditional 'top four' NCD groups by incorporating MSK diseases. It is critical that MSK initiatives in developing countries integrate well with health systems, rather than being stand-alone. A better inclusion of MSK conditions will avoid doubling of efforts and wasting of resources, and will help to promote a more streamlined, cost-effective approach. Other key opportunities for action include the following: ensuring the principles of 'development effectiveness' are met; strengthening leadership and commitment; building the research,information and evidence base; and reducing the incidence and disability of MSK conditions through better prevention. Each of these elements is necessary to mitigate and reduce the growing burden from the MSKs.Best practice & research. Clinical rheumatology 06/2014; 28(3).

Reposting from here:
Rumors of the death of print have been greatly exaggerated.
It is true that our digital sales as a percentage of total sales are increasing year over year.
However, some portion of that increase is because the number of products available digitally only ever goes up, and because the number of available print products increases more slowly than the number of available digital products.
That last bit may not be obvious, but think of it this way: Let's say that in a given period, we release 100 new products in both print and PDF, but 15 older products go out of print during that same period. For that period, then, the total number of digital products available went up by 100, but the total number of print products available went up by just 85.
So even if there were no customers actively abandoning print in favor of digital, digital sales as a percentage of total sales would still be likely to increase year over year.
Yet even with that in mind, the increase is much slower than you might think.
Print isn't going anywhere soon, and isn't likely to become anything less than a majority of our business in the foreseeable future.

It´s not important anymore for me (because i already ordered one) but for some people that want to order a case and the BAR mini with it it would be cool to see an actual photo or at least to get more information about it.
I'm very glad that the details of the bar haven't been made public yet, because WizKids brought a few new ideas on that topic to last week's meeting. They have to look into a few things, so it'll probably be a little while before we can tell you more, but I think it's going to be worth the wait.
But that's ameliorated by the fact that Voter A (or Voter B) isn't likely to be comparing those exact two items against each other repeatedly—instead, when he does see repeats, he's comparing each of them against different opponents. In the system we're using, that's building a more complete chain of his preferences, and that's actually valuable data.
For example, Voter A tells us he prefers Item 1 to Item 2, and he prefers Item 1 to Item 3, and he prefers Item 4 to Item 1. With our system, if every voter did exactly the same thing, Item 4 would win, Item 1 would come in second, and Items 2 and 3 would tie for third. The fact that Item 1 has been seen three times more often does not give an advantage to Item 1—but it *does* give us a more accurate picture of what the relative opinions of all of the items are. This is what we WANT.
In a system that just credits wins, you'd have a different winner. You'd have 66% of the votes for item 1, 33% of the votes for item 4, and no votes for items 2 or 3. Under a system like that, the fact that Item 1 had been seen more than the others would be a very big deal indeed.

Mike,if you're using "straw man" in terms of the fallacy, I can speak only for myself to say that I'm not asking for intent only to be able strike down your answer. I asked for intent because I genuinely enjoy your game, and I want to know what your vision was when you guys wrote it because you guys have vision.
We generally avoid talking about intent here for a number of reasons. If you look in the Pathfinder RPG rules forums, you will see many many MANY arguments about "RAW" (rules as written) vs. "RAI" (rules as intended), and a lot of them are horrific firefights that I personally wish didn't exist. Intent can be important, but sometimes intent needs to evolve or to be discarded.
When Mike and I are hashing out solutions to a problem, "intent" does come up now and then, but is usually a pretty minor factor. In the PACG, if the intent for a card is inconsistent with other cards in a way that can't easily be explained, intent goes out the window. If the intent is something we can't communicate clearly in the limited space we have, it goes. If it just plain breaks the game, it goes. And there are other reasons too.
We know full well that if we communicate intent before we have a finished ruling, there will be people who latch on to the intent and never let go, and then we'll have RAW vs. RAI threads here too.
(Also, sometimes, when we consider intent, nobody can even remember what the actual intent was, usually because the card evolved enough during the design process to be sufficiently separated from the intent.)
I've been waiting for somebody to ask this question since the day Wrath came out—I'm quite surprised it took this long. The answer has always been "yes, you can," (though recent and pending rulings have made adjustments to exactly *how* you can...)
This FAQ says "If a power allows you to automatically defeat or acquire a card, you may use it instead of attempting the check."
In that sentence, "instead of" tells you that in the step in which you would normally attempt the check, you are instead checking to see if you have a mythic charge.
And since we're still in an encounter, this bit from "Encountering a Card" still applies: "Players may only play cards or use powers that relate to each step (or relate to cards played or powers used in that step)." Playing Blessing of Ascension to get a mythic charge certainly relates to checking to see if you have one, so regardless of which Mythic Path you have, you can do it.

Allow for Abstractions. Sometimes the story you imagine can get in the way of playing the game. Despite their aquatic nature, Bunyips can be encountered in the Manor House. Caltrop Bead works against Skeletons, even if they don't have flesh on their feet. Don't force the cards to fit your story; let the cards tell you their stories.

I don't know if they're going to stick to any sort of order when releasing them once we finish the CRB classes - maybe roughly the order or RPG release?
Nope. There's no huge list going deep into the future. We do them in batches of 3 or 4, and usually, we decide what the next batch is just shortly before the designers are ready to work on them. We factor in obvious things like what we're doing with Adventure Paths and OP (for example, Paladin was the top of the list for new decks because of Wrath) and less obvious things like making sure we space out basic character types (we don't want a bunch of focused spellcasters all in a row, for example). But we also factor in whether or not the designers already have a bunch of ideas sitting around for a particular class, or whether a class might benefit from mechanics that we plan to introduce in a future Adventure Path, or just whether the designers are particularly keen on working up a particular class.
Which is to say, I think we'll keep surprising you.

Blog post says "And let's not forget that every demon they defeat (including Vellexia) has a 1 in 6 chance of summoning Shamira." but the rules indicate otherwise. Vellexia is never defeated, if she would be defeated she's evaded instead. That means she never triggers the 1 in 6 chance to summon Shamira. Which is actually correct so I know how to play it when I finally end up getting my AD4?
The blog is incorrect. Removing "(including Vellexia)."

So basically, until Lucas's death, there CAN'T be a 1080/24p, 7.1 DTS HD MA Blu-Ray of the ORIGINAL original trilogy (and even then, it will require a deal between 20th Century Fox and Disney).
I can't remark either way regarding the veracity of your general statement... but if you want the ORIGINAL original trilogy, you can't have a 7.1 soundtrack. The closest thing would be the original 70mm 6-track mixes, which had 3 front channels (left, center, right), a single surround channel, and a pair of low-frequency-effects tracks. (In modern terms, they were "4.2" mixes.) You want split surrounds and differentiation between rear and side, that won't happen without somebody making additional creative decisions well outside the scope of the original production.

The delay isn't about making you take the time to read it—it's about mitigating voting fraud. We don't want people clicking as fast as possible through all the entries until they spot their own (or their friend's, or just their favorite) and voting it up, then repeating. (Or doing the same to repeatedly downvote an entry they dislike, or just to introduce chaos to the voting by randomly voting on as many pages as possible.) Assuming a number of entires in the high hundreds or low thousands, seeing two entries per minute means you have to vote for hours (on average) between seeing the same item twice (of course, random is random, so it's *possible* to see repeats much sooner, but over time, you'll drift to the average).
Since culls result in fewer entries to go through before you're likely to see your target again, the delay actually becomes *more* important to the process as we cull.

The Pathfinder ACG actually began when Lone Shark brought the game that would become Apocrypha to us, saying (more or less) "We're working on this game that we know isn't quite right for you, but we think we can make a game *like* it for Pathfinder that you will love."
..to which I will add that it was always clear that Lone Shark was going to continue to develop that game. But in no way is it PACG 2.0—PACG and Apocrypha are separate branches on the same family tree.
I have also previously said:
When it comes to competition, I believe that Magic: The Gathering actually benefited quite a bit from the existence of other trading card games. By itself, M:TG was a successful game, but it couldn't be the cornerstone of a genre until there were other TCG/CCGs. This is why we didn't trademark "Adventure Card Game"—I'd love it if, in a few years, there are a handful of ACGs in existence, giving weight to our game.

Vic, from a different view point I agree that C is the winning option for how to handle things. The issue is that the updates aren't just hitting PFS, they're going to the source material instead of a PFS reference document. Some of my players will buy the PDF or a more recent physical copy than the source I have on my shelf. That causes conflict at tables outside of PFS, where it really shouldn't. PFS is it's own strange beast with it's own esoteric rules and adjustments and that is perfectly fine, when it flows out and begins to twist the rest of the game it becomes a problem.
Following that logic, you would prefer we were selling new players the exact same Core Rulebook that we introduced several years ago, complete with all the problems that we've identified and fixed in the years since? I'm not a fan of that plan.
Words like "editions" and "versions" mean different things to different people.
Officially, Call of Cthulhu has had 7 editions, though the rules themselves changed very little between the first 6, so some people would say there have been just 2. Yet others say there have actually been *18*.
When it comes to PACG, where the content gets completely replaced every year, and sections of rule are added, removed, and rewritten, there's really no point in that kind of naming/numbering scheme.
Myfly wrote:
MTG never got a 2.0 update, so who knows...
There was a time when Magic sets had numbered editions. Alpha and Beta were retroactively considered (but not labeled) 1st Edition; Unlimited was retroactively considered (but not labeled) 2nd Edition, Revised was retroactively considered (but not labeled) 3rd Edition, and 4th through 10th Editions were actually labeled as such. (The next 6 editions were named by year, followed by Magic Origins this year, which, had the numbering remained, would be 17th Edition.)

Let's see:
Plan A: We ignore the problems, refuse to answer questions that people keep asking, and force people in PFS to deal with balance issues. A lot of the audience is unhappy, but hey, you're happy.
Plan B: We fix the problems and you are forced to incorporate them into your home game. A lot of the audience is pleased, but you aren't.
Plan C: We fix the problems, and so long as you're not playing in Pathfinder Society, you ignore all of these changes. (Or just the ones you want to ignore, if that makes you happier.) Yet everybody who values them can have them, so everybody's happy!
We have decided not to go with Plan A. *I* certainly think Plan C is the best, but it turns out that if you really want to pick Plan B, I can't stop you.

Rather than tracking everyone's 'seen list' in a centralized database, you assign to every account a list variable. Every item you see is added to this list. Whenever the page is bringing up the next set of items, it quickly iterates through your own personal list to check if the items present have been seen by you before or not. With 800 entries, iterating through the list twice even without any intelligent/efficient searching algorithms and assuming you had already seen 99% of them, would take < 1 second.
Thing is, if you've already seen A and told us you like it more than B, you haven't necessarily told us you like it more than C, and that's a pretty valuable comparison to be had. Now, we *could* do what you say to make sure that we don't show you A vs B when you've already seen A vs B... but that's a lot of crunching for something that doesn't come up that often... and there's also a chance that you will actually give us a different answer, which is statistically useful as well.

Cubs 9th Inning Rally Falls Short at Papago
Logan Watkins reached base four times (three singles and a HBP), scored twice, and drove-in a run, and D. J. LeMahieu blasted a two-run double and a solo HR, but a 9th inning Cub rally fell short as the potential tying run was thrown out at the plate, giving the A's a 10-9 decision over the Cubs in AZ Instructional League action at the Papago Baseball Complex in Phoenix this afternoon.
The Cubs got off to a quick 3-0 lead in the top of the 1st on a Kyler Burke RBI ground out with the bases loaded and a two-out, two-run RBI single by Rebel Ridling, and then scored three more times in the top of the 5th on a two-run double by D. J. LeMahieu and a Ryan Flaherty triple to take a 6-0 lead, before the roof caved in the 5th and 6th as the A's scored nine unanswered runs to take a 9-6 lead.
LeMahieu narrowed the gap to 9-7 in the top of the 8th, hitting a solo HR over the LF fence, the LSU Tigers' first professional HR. (LeMahieu is probably the best hitter at Instructs, but most of his hits are rockets hit to CF or RF, and while he hits the ball very hard, he doesn't have much elevation in his swing... at least until today, when he turned on the ball like HR hitters do, and launched one out of the yard).
The A's added an insurance run in the 8th on a lead-off solo HR, but the Cubs threatened to tie the game in the top of the 9th.
Rebel Ridling led-off the 9th for the Cubs by lining a single to right. Then with one out, Richard Jones reached safely when the A's second-baseman dropped a pop fly in short right for an error. Brandon May walked to load the bases, and Kyung-Min Na blooped a single into short left, scoring Ridling, and keeping the bases jammed. Logan Watkins then roped what appeared to be a sure-fire game-tying two-run single to right-center, and while Jones did score easily from 3rd, May got a late break off 2nd base and was thrown out at the plate. Then LeMahieu popped up to the second-baseman to end the game, leaving runners stranded at 2nd & 3rd.
19-year old LHP Austin Kirk (Cubs 2009 3rd round draft pick out of Owasso HS - Owasso, OK) got the start today and worked three shutout innings. He escaped trouble in the bottom of the second when he walked the first two hitters, before getting out of the jam with a 6-4 FC grounder, and a 6-4-3 DP. Kirk retired the last six men he faced.
Here is today's abridged box score (Cubs players only):
1. Logan Watkins, 2B: 3-4 (1B, HBP, 1B, 1-3, 1B), 2 R, RBI, CS
2. D. J. LeMahieu, SS: 2-5 (3-U, 5-3, 2B, HR, P-4), R, 3 RBI
3. Ryan Flaherty, 3B: 2-4 (1B, 4-3, 3B, F-7), 2 R
4. Brandon Guyer, LF: 1-2 (HBP, BB, 6-3, 2B), R
5. Kyler Burke, RF: 0-3 (6-3, L-8, BB, 6-3), RBI
6. Rebel Ridling, 1B: 2-4 (1B, E-9, K, 1B), R, 2 RBI
7. Justin Bour, DH #1: 0-4 (6-U FC, K, 4-6-3 DP, L-7)
8. Richard Jones, DH #2: 1-4 (4-3, 4-3, 1B, E-4), R
9a. Jovan Rosa, C: 1-2 (5-3, 1B), R

Re: Cubs 9th Inning Rally Falls Short at Papago
Rotoworld reporting the Cubs released So Taguchi
(the average age of the Cubs 40 man roster just dropped by 5 years)
Re: Cubs 9th Inning Rally Falls Short at Papago
Glad to hear that Lemahieu is showing some offense. Went to bat 164 times last year with only 7 extra base hits and no home runs after not showing much power at LSU. Saw that Castro had 3 hits again yesterday.
Re: Cubs 9th Inning Rally Falls Short at Papago
Bruce Levine on his saturday Talking Baseball radio show says Cubs will begin talking to Jaramillo sometime next week (they have received permission to do this from the Rangers GM). He expects RJ to get a 2-3 year contract offer, which means he will survive the Piniella administration as did Rothschild when he survived the Dusty regime..sounds like we're discussing South American governments!)
from his blog: The Chicago Cubs contacted Texas Rangers GM Jon Daniels on Friday and received permission to talk to hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo about a contract to become the Cubs' new batting instructor.
Player sources told ESPNChicago.com that Jaramillo wants to go to a team that's ready to win next season and that the Cubs are a team he would be interested in joining.
Rudy! Rudy!
in a show of solidarity, the Cubs one by one lay their jerseys on Lou's desk....
Re: Cubs 9th Inning Rally Falls Short at Papago
He expects RJ to get a 2-3 year contract offer
Typical Hendry move. What if the next manager doesn't want him?
Re: Cubs 9th Inning Rally Falls Short at Papago
Did Hendry fuck your wife or something?
Re: Cubs 9th Inning Rally Falls Short at Papago
well, this team will be in financial ruin if they have to cut a 700-800K a year coach lose.
they'd probably have to trade the whole future of the team away to cover it.
they might get lucky and could do a swap for someone overpaid and unwanted like milton bradley, though.
Re: Cubs 9th Inning Rally Falls Short at Papago
"Jaramillo wants to go to a team that's ready to win next season"
I'm confused. Then why would he consider the Cubs?
Re: Cubs 9th Inning Rally Falls Short at Papago
what? Bruce Levine didn't mention of backloading the contract?

RF is actually easier to play than LF in PNC so I'd guess Schwarber is there and that's why he was playing it Friday but yeah I'd say that's hopefully accurate.
Guess for Wednesday's lineup: Fowler (CF), Schwarber (LF), Bryant (3B), Rizzo (1B), Castro (2B), Montero (C), Russell (SS), Arrieta (P), Coughlan (RF)
Dusty already has blue and red wrist bands.

Reliever Jason Motte waved as he left the visitor's clubhouse at Miller Park on a golf cart en route to the airport to catch a flight to Arizona to start a rehab assignment.
Motte has been on the 15-day disabled list since Aug. 24 because of a right shoulder strain, but there's a possibility he could rejoin the Cubs if they advance deep in the playoffs.
Motte is scheduled to pitch in simulated games and in Instructional League games in Arizona.

Totally independent of the Cubs winning or losing today, Dan Haren came into today's game having earned $2M of his potential $3M in performance bonuses for 2015.
By making the start (his 32nd start of the season) he picked up $500K, and he'll get the remaining $500K if he can throw at least 8.2 IP in the game (he was at 181.1 IP coming into the game, and he needs to reach 190 IP to get the remaining $500K),
It's a bit like the old "Bowling for Dollars" TV show, but of course Haren is actually "Pitching for Dollars."

Filters: PoodLL Filter
Using the PoodLL filter you can add a variety of widgets to your courses. These include a stopwatch, dice, countdown timer, audio list player, flashcards, a whiteboard and simple video galleries. You can do this by hand crafting PoodLL filter strings, or by using the PoodLL Repository to add widgets via the file chooser. More information on PoodLL filter strings is available at PoodLL.com .
The other PoodLL mods, PoodLL Online Assignment(2.2) , Online PoodLL Assignment Submission type (2.3+), PoodLL Recording Question Type, the PoodLL Repository, and the PoodLL database field all require the PoodLL filter.
NB for Moodle 2.6 and earlier it is best to turn off text filter caching:
Go to: Site Administration -> Plugins -> Filters ->Common Filter Settings
There set "Text Cache Lifetime" to "no."
(This setting was removed in Moodle 2.7. Hooray)

- Sun, May 10, 2015, 11:42 PMThere are two questions. You will help?
1. How to adjust the timer that it was started automatically?
2. How to adjust the timer that on the expiration of time, the person couldn't answer a question. That is, it is necessary to limit opportunity to answer a question, on the expiration of time.
- Wed, May 13, 2015, 12:17 PMSergey, the timer does not start automatically though it is possible using javascript to start it for the mp3recorder. Those details are not documented. The user can not record again after the time has elapsed. But they can easily reload the page and start again, and so it is not very useful if you want to be strict.
- Wed, Jun 3, 2015, 8:51 PMThe "Literally Canvas(js)" doesn't load on 2.9+. The other drawing boards work well.
Is this a known problem?
- Thu, Jun 4, 2015, 4:51 AMThanks Will. Somebody mentioned "the whiteboard doesn't work on 2.9" but I have not been able to look into it yet. I will do so next week I hope. thanks for the heads up

- Fri, Jun 12, 2015, 10:00 AMBalazs, its best if you post these questions in the PoodLL forum. Its easier to have "conversations" there and later for others to get the benefit of what we discussed. I have posted there now. https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=315090

I am working on it, but if it holds things up, I will just issue a recommendation to use LiterallyCanvas. That would be a bad result though. Going forward the Forum is the best place for these discussions, yes.
- Wed, Jun 17, 2015, 10:29 AM...blast .... I mean "I will just issue a recommendation to use DrawingBoard.js." Thats not a great result apart from the hassle, but also because the saved vector data (that allows students to continue drawing where they left off in assignments and questions) would be lost.

(Cooper Neill/Getty Images)TCU quarterback Casey Pachall will be available to play in Saturday's game against Texas after missing the past six weeks with a broken left arm, reports the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.Pachall has not played since Sept. 7 when he broke his arm in three places in a victory over Southeastern Louisiana.

Because they're different, it makes it more difficult to prepare for because you're going to have more options, quarterback draws and runs with one [Boykin] than you would with Tyler Matthews or Casey Pachall coming off of an injury," Brown said.
