Very comfortable, smart trousers which are great for work. Although quite thick fabric for the summer will be great for autumn/winter time.

Having searched the high street for some decent work trousers in a size 18 with a long leg, I had no joy. I ordered maternity trousers from mothercare and debenhams but they we're so short in length. I decided to try again and took a chance in ordering these and so glad I did, they are perfect in fit and length with lots of room for belly growth over the next few months. I am so impressed I am ordering another pair.

Lovely comfy trousers, had to buy smaller size and bump band a little low. Overall very happy ;-)
on Tuesday, May 12, 2015
Perfect work trousers - needed some with pockets and that were comfy yet smart. Ordered these in the size 6 after reading other reviews re sizing. Perfect fit, normally I'm a size 8 but by 15 weeks nothing fits at all. Would def recommend these to any working mum to be, shall be buying another pair to see me through the next months.

Being a pear shape I don't suit fashionable skinny leg trousers that seem to be everywhere these days, so I was delighted to find these more flattering wider leg ones and even more pleased when they arrived and fitted me perfectly. I've worn them pretty much every day to work for the last 12 weeks. They do have bobbles on them now as they've been washed many times. But they are without a doubt very comfortable and practical and just right for me.

Lovely trousers, great shape, and comfortable yet smart.
However. Mine are now almost unwearable after a few weeks wear due to "bobbling" of the fabric down the sides of the legs. The seams are coming away from the waistband and the bumb band with visable holes - and it's the same for the sides of the bump band. I have to ensure i have a good longline vest on to cover the holes up, and they are loose on my 17 weeks pregnant bump. Really dissapointed.

I bought these trousers in a blind panic when at 15 weeks pregnant with twins the zip burst off the ones I was wearing. I was worried by some of the negative reviews but it turns out I shouldn't have worried at all.
These are amazing and comfy trousers and are perfectly suitable office wear. They are true to size, but are quite long. They wash well as long as you pay attention to the instructions on the label. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair.

Loved the look of these trousers and the length is just about ok which was a welcome surprise as I'm very tall and find it almost impossible to find maternity trousers long enough.
I love the charcoal colour and the softness of the material.
Sizing is good, I'm a 12 pre bump and the 12 fits well.
The thing I hate about these trousers is the band cuts right across my expanding bump which is uncomfortable for both me and bubs (they're constantly trying to wiggle away from it) and doesn't look very flattering especially when wearing a thinner top. I try to roll it down but I'm then left with a big bunch of elastic at the bottom.
Wish these had a full panel or just elasticated side panels, the midi bump band just doesn't work for me.
This is a big thing and has really spoilt these trousers for me.

By far the smartest, most comfortable, best quality maternity work trousers I have found - please expand your range of colours.

These are excellent, very comfortable and will come in very useful when I am back at work after Easter.
on Monday, January 26, 2015
Wonderful, smart work trousers that have received compliments already in week one of maternity wear. I struggled to find anything similar on the high st that wasn't leggings! Size good- although normally a 12-14 the 12 fit well. Really comfy.
on Thursday, January 22, 2015
I must have tried over half a dozen pairs of black trousers that I could wear to work, all of which seemed to be a strange shape and not fit. These are comfortable, flattering and will last me through the rest of the pregnancy.
on Tuesday, December 23, 2014
These are fine for work, but I was disappointed to see that the fabric has started to pill after a few washes.
The pockets are a welcome feature.
I'm usually a UK size 8 but when I tried an 8 in these trousers they were far too big - I had to go for a size 6 which was a better fit.
on Tuesday, December 09, 2014
These trousers are perfect for work.They are very comfortable and the wide leg style means they look good with boots and shoes.The stretch over the tummy is comfy with elastic so they don't fall down. I have two pairs of these.
on Tuesday, November 11, 2014
I am so pleased and relieved to have found these trousers. They are really comfortable as well as being smart. They can be dressed up or work quite casually. I highly recommend them!
on Sunday, October 19, 2014
Didn't like these - very big and quality didn't feel great. Returned 2 sizes. Bump band is too low.

Good quality product, very comfortable and useful for work. Deliverly was well timed an no issues. Had to order online as very few places in my town sell maternity work wear.

Really comfortable trousers but long in the leg for an average height person.
on Friday, July 11, 2014
These were by far the most comfy mat trousers I had and as they were for work and I do lots of driving they needed to be! They were very long I'm 5ft4 so had to be taken up. They just about lastest as they went bobbly on the front so lost the smart look towards the end of wearing them

I love these trousers, I am a teacher and they are smart enough for work. I wear them with a blouse. They are really comfy and soft to wear. The design of the waist band means they fit a tiny bump and I am confident they will also fit as I get bigger. A brilliant design.
on Monday, March 03, 2014
Was looking forward to getting these trousers delivered, but had to return as they are not as nice as it looks on the picture. These trousers also made me look 2 sizes bigger than I actually am.
on Monday, March 03, 2014
At last! Some black work trousers that fit! I was really pleased with these - they're really comfortable, flattering and they've worn well so far. Definitely smart enough for my office's smart-casual dress code, too. As other reviewers have noted, they're pretty long. I'm 5ft6 and they are perfect with my boots, but I would need to take them up if I was wearing flats.
Kerry Miller
on Tuesday, February 18, 2014
Very disappointing. I bought these as they were the only non-skinny work appropriate trousers available. The legs are very long, I'm 5ft6 and have had to have them taken up by about 3 inches to make them wearable. They are also very small made so even though I'm normally a 16 I had to buy the 18 which only just fit, I'm not convinced they last me more than a couple of months.
Overall I wish I hadn't bothered but with so few alternatives available I didn't have much choice,
on Thursday, January 23, 2014
great, had to get them taken up though as don't come in different lengths
on Monday, January 20, 2014
Very suitable for work, lovely fit and good quality. Thoroughly recommend.
on Monday, January 06, 2014
As others have said I had to order a smaller size than I would normally but comfortable and not too expensive for work trousers
on Monday, November 25, 2013
Great quality, have washed well, and a good price. These trousers are definitely smart enough for work. You can smarten them up with a shirt and jacket, or wear them more casually with a wrap top or tunic. The only thing is they might not quite be smart enough if you are a senior colleague who normally wears suits.
on Tuesday, November 05, 2013
These trousers are fab. I am carrying low (have a long torso) and so a smaller bit of stretch over the bump really works. Have had loads of compliments for these trousers and want to get another pair. Sizing was perfect, am a 16.
S Carroll
on Tuesday, October 08, 2013
These trousers are comfortable enough and definitely smart enough for work. The leg length is fine and they are the perfect length for wearing with boots. The only downside is that they do stretch quite quickly and that the band sits below your belly button which doesn't make them as comfortable as they should be. It also means that you spend half the day hiking them up.
on Thursday, September 26, 2013
I was really disappointed with these trousers. On the website they looked really nice but in reality they were flimsy and did not look smart at all. The fabric felt thin and cheap. They did feel comfy but I needed a smart work trouser and these did not look smart. The material reminded me of pyjama bottoms. I am finding it very difficult to find smart trousers suitable for work.
on Monday, September 16, 2013
Really comfortable trousers great for work. I will have to turn them up as I am 5ft 3and they are on the large side, but am 21 weeks so larger is probably better. Would recommend.
Amanda Hancock

Wow, amazing trousers, very comfy, wash and wear well. Have two pairs now. Wish they came in navy as well! An absolute essential for mum's to be!

very nice and comfortable pants,i am very pleased.Would recommended to all mathers.
Amanda Hancock

Excellent trousers, fit well, comfortable and reasonably priced. Wash and wear well. Only thing I would note is that the leg length is quite long - but as the hem is plain - its easy to take them up! Have just ordered two more pairs!
Mrs B
on Saturday, August 24, 2013
Really comfy, nice fit and look good for work. The material is not what I expected, feels like jersey, which although makes them very comfortable, depending on your dress code at work could mean they're not smart enough.
Nikki Shah
on Wednesday, August 14, 2013
The trousers are great, even though they're still a bit big as my bump hasn't completely grown yet (20weeks) they still stay up! They should hopefully last a while. The only issue I had was that I ordered next day delivery specifically so I could wear the for a meeting at work and this was cancelled on the morning of the delivery, I then couldn't be in to receive them for another 3 days so may as well have not paid the extra cost.
Maria Valls
on Monday, July 15, 2013
I bought this trousers online after looking for work trousers in grey colour and could not find any anywhere, everything was black. They fit very nicely and look very profesional and the waistband is very confortable. The delivery was very fast. Will definately buy more clothes from this website.
on Tuesday, July 02, 2013
Really pleased with quality and comfort of these. Bought size 12 and slightly baggy in thigh and bum at the moment but bump only just popped so plenty of room to grow into them still! Im 5ft7inch and a good leg length on me. Sure I'll live in these at work.
Sonja Edgar
on Thursday, June 27, 2013
Great trousers, comfortable stretchy band and good fitting. Ideal for work wear and look smart.
on Monday, June 24, 2013
These trousers are super comfy and fit great over the bum and upper legs. Especially if you are blessed with curves. I have bought a second pair now. Can't praise them enough.
on Monday, June 03, 2013
The most comfortable trousers I have ever owned!
on Thursday, May 23, 2013
Very happy with trousers. Would normally take a size 12 but found the size 10 a perfect fit. Comfy band around bump. Perfect for work.

I was looking for a decent pair of trousers for my wife to wear as it has been quite difficult to find. but ordered some wide leg as a surprise for my wife hoping they would be good fit. she tried them on and could not believe the fit and quality, by far the best on the market, a definite buy for any one who wants comfort with style.
Louise Stade
on Wednesday, May 15, 2013
Elegant and confortable pants that allow me to grow into. Great for work!
on Thursday, May 09, 2013
These looked ok, but the do have quite deep pockets that show through. Also they are made with an odd material for smart trousers (more like tracksuit material) so whilst they are comfortable and look reasonably ok I decided not to keep them.
on Wednesday, May 01, 2013
I love the fit on these trousers. They are extremely comfortable and quite flattering. However I feel I should warn people that the black dye isn't very stable. Even after being washed a few times the colour is transfering. I have a light blue chair I use at home that is now stained purple.

These trousers are super comfy and I wear them for work (in a therapeutic clinic) as well as out in the evening. I am usually a size 14 for trousers but I have found the size 12 fit me perfectly, so i think the sizing is generous in that respect. But these are well worth the money and do not obviously appear to be maternity wear, in fact I can see myself wearing them well after the baby has made an appearance!
on Thursday, April 25, 2013
Love these. Fit perfectly and am hoping they willg et me through work for the next 6 months. Last time I was pregnant, spent a fortune on (super fab) a well known designer brand of maternity trousers. These are a fraction of the cost and at least as comfy and I think smarter.
Helen Walters
on Wednesday, April 17, 2013
So good I bought a 2nd pair! Flattering cut, exceedingly comfy and good quality.
on Saturday, April 13, 2013
Really good product, smart and comfy!
Lianne Wilson
on Tuesday, April 02, 2013
Really comfy trousers and perfect for work or everyday. Just a bit concerned fabric has started to bobble on one side and they haven't even been washed.
on Monday, March 25, 2013
Nice comfortable material but not as flattering as in the images. The material is stiffer and the trousers very wide. Not very flattering.
on Sunday, March 24, 2013
Good quality and good fit. Comfortable and smart enough to wear to work.
Kate Collins
on Thursday, March 21, 2013
These trousers are really comfortable and feel like lounge trousers but look very smart and professional. I teamed mine with the Wrap tops which go well together. Another product I would recommend 100
on Tuesday, March 05, 2013
I've been wearing these trousers for work and they have been absoloutely perfect, up until now. I'm 6 months pregnant and the 'over-the-bump' panel only covers half my bump, and cuts it in two. They're not comfortable anymore and look horrible. Gutted, as they're a great length and a nice material.
on Tuesday, February 05, 2013
I wanted a smart and comfortable pair of trousers for work, these trousers would have been perfect but the legs were so wide I looked like I was wearing clown trousers, I consider myself average build and am 5'3, unfortunately I had to return these trousers.
on Wednesday, January 30, 2013
Ideal trousers which are smart but comfortable- I am 23 weeks and ideal for now but still time to grow!! Sizing is about right for maternity sized clothing.
on Wednesday, January 30, 2013
Really comfy, but super long! Have had to have them taken up and I'm 5ft 5.
on Thursday, January 24, 2013
I bought these hoping they would be good for work but the band was very uncomfortable at 30 weeks pregnant. I tried to exchange them but wasn't able to because it was outside the 14 days. Not very impressed.
on Monday, January 21, 2013
Really pleased - comfy and smart. I've worn them for a couple of days and there's some slight bobbling between the legs - not at all noticable, but it's made me question how long they'll keep looking smart.
on Friday, January 18, 2013
I'm delighted with these trousers. I'm 21 weeks pregnant and they are so comfortable - perfect for work. I ordered my pre-pregnancy size (8) and they fit perfectly. Would definately recommend buying these.
Jo Jones
on Sunday, January 06, 2013
Fantastic trousers! I'm wearing them already in week 12 of my pregnancy and feeling much more comfortable at work, as my suits no longer fit. I'm a size 12 and the 12 fits me very well.
on Tuesday, January 01, 2013
Having already bought these in black, I have just bought another pair in grey. Very comfortable and perfect for work. Slightly long, but just OK with a small heel and I'm 5'5".
on Monday, December 24, 2012
I brought these trousers doubting if they would fit properly but I'm so pleased with them! They are a great cut, will look smart enough for work & will see me through until maternity leave. Looks fab with the black wrap top.

Very comfortable and suitable for work. Were very long though and I had to have them altered. I'm 5'5".

Great pants for the office, very comfortable nice soft material and the size runs true to size and still has some more space....also fits nicely at the hips
Don't hesitate to buy it .

Really comfy trousers, have used them over and over again. Am now week 37 and am still using them.

Having traipsed around many shops and ordered many pair of trousers online (16 pairs) I was beginning to think that my increasingly sized body would never wear clothes again, I was at the brink of tears, I thought I would try one more shot and ordered a size 14 (other size 12 brands did not fit) they arrived to my surprise the 14 was too big which made me feel a little better, I returned them for an exchange of size 12, the parcel arrived I already dismissed the fact they would fit having very thick thighs noone seems to cater for the fuller figure only the beanpole shape but to my amazement they did i was so pleased that I have ordered another pair, I am waiting for the Jeans to arrive with them and im feeling hopeful this time
on Tuesday, November 27, 2012
These are now my favourite work maternity trousers as they are very comfortable and I like the grey colour/fabric. My only criticism is that the top of the trouser stops mid-way on your bump (as opposed to over or under the bump) and so you do get a line showing through your top.
on Tuesday, November 27, 2012
Nice and generous sizing and ver comfy. Bit long for me, it would be great if they did longer and shorter lengths for tall/petite women
Nicky Henman
on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
An excellent buy. Well worth the money, very comfortable especially round the bump because they fit so well. They wash really well too and don't need ironing. My best maternity wear buy!
on Thursday, October 11, 2012
Lovely pair of work trousers - got these in grey as a change from black. They're flattering. The only thing is that the band isn't really over bump, or under bump, it's somewhere in the midde so you get a ridge where the elastic is on your tummy which is visible with tight tops. I tend to push the band under the bump but then spend a lot of time hitching them up...
Francesca Slater
on Monday, October 01, 2012
I bought the grey version of these trousers. The material is very nice and I'm pleased to be able to fit comfortably into my pre-pregnancy size 12. However, the band is a strange depth, neither under the bump or over and I found the elastic to be a bit tight (I'm 26 weeks). I have decided to keep the trousers as they are the nicest ones I've found but have had to take them to a tailor to try and get the elastic removed as it feels as though it is digging into my bump.
on Friday, September 21, 2012
Arrived quickly and were a good fit, and comfortable over the bump.
on Tuesday, September 18, 2012
These are great. Although a bit more expensive than some of their competitors they are well worth the extra. Comfortable and practical and look smart at the same time.
on Sunday, September 16, 2012
Good quality trousers, suitable for work wear. Would have liked the option to have a longer length and the elasticated waist is comfortable, but neither over nor under the bump, making my shape a little strange! Flattering wide-leg style with pockets.
Kate Alderton
on Thursday, September 13, 2012
These trousers look really smart and are so comfy. The band is really stretchy. I wish I found these with my first pregnancy!
on Tuesday, September 11, 2012
Pleased with these trousers. They are fairly flattering - although the elasticated waist line is neither over the bump or under the bump, which can cut you in half a little. Saying that, they are supremely comfortable and of good quality fabric. I would certainly recommend as a work wear staple.
on Friday, September 07, 2012
Really nice trousers, great fit in the leg at pre pregnancy size but I am 5'10" and so they are too short ! It would be great to see two length options as with your jeans.
on Thursday, September 06, 2012
Really speedy delivery, ordered these trousers on Tuesday and they arrived on Thursday. I am very pleased with them, soft material, nice stretchy bit! and overall nicely made. I have worn them to work already and they are very comfortable and at the moment seem to fit very well. The length is actually fine for me being 5'7 and they are smart enough with a shirt or something over the top for work. Thank you JoJo!
on Friday, August 31, 2012
These are nice quality trousers, great that they have pockets but the waist band cuts into my bump a bit and is uncomfortable (and I am only 20 weeks so I guess that will only get worse), so I need to fold that down. It's a shame because otherwise they are perfect.
on Wednesday, August 29, 2012
Great work trousers - seem to be lasting well although haven't washed them yet! Have to wear them with the waist band folded down though as too tight around the belly - otherwise great fit.
Nikki T
on Tuesday, August 28, 2012
These are lovely comfy trousers. I started needing them at 15 weeks and am sure they will do me right through to the end. I can wear them for work and not be uncomfortable at my desk. The wide leg is very flattering. I'd recommend long tops to cover the waistband but I think this is the same for most maternity trousers.
Barbara Birnie
on Friday, August 24, 2012
Fantastic work trousers that offer great support from early pregnancy. Flattering cut and the pockets are useful. Wash great too. Would highly recommend.
Liz J
on Thursday, August 23, 2012
These are very comfortable, smart trousers. They fit well and look good for work. I would have preferred the stretchy band to be the same colour as the trousers though - I'm going to need to get some longer tops...
on Thursday, August 23, 2012
Excellent quality and really comfy. Could wear every day. Will buy another one in grey.
on Wednesday, August 08, 2012
Comfy and smart - excellent!
on Friday, July 20, 2012
Very comfy. Good fit. I particularly like the pockets. Smart enough for work.
Claire Langston
on Sunday, July 01, 2012
I am 5'6" and bought the size 14 which is my pre-pregnancy size. Great fit and great length for me as I was looking for some trousers that would take a heel. Smart enough for work or going out. Very comfortable. Wide leg, but not too wide - which is nice to find.
Katherine Markham
on Monday, June 25, 2012
very comfortable trousers, don't know why I waited so long before getting them! They are a bit too long for me though, but still lovely quality
on Thursday, June 07, 2012
Lovely fabric that feels soft against the skin. Really good fit that feels supportive around the tummy but without being restrictive. Slightly too long for me so I will have to shorten them an inch. (I'm 5, 3").
Anne Gallie
on Saturday, June 02, 2012
I had to take the trousers up a little, but otherwise they fit really well and the material feels quite substantial. Ideal for work. Pleased with this purchase.
Rebecca Smith
on Wednesday, May 23, 2012
Unfortunately had to return these trousers as they were too tight. ordered a 16 but the 18 would have been far too big. Pocket lining was very visible.
on Saturday, May 12, 2012
Good comfortable trousers that fit really well in my normal size. As other reviews have mentioned, however, they are quite long. I am 5'4" and had to get them taken up a couple of inches - but now they look great. The tummy band is a tad uncomfortable at times as it's not quite big enough to be over-bump, but not small enough to be under-bump. Still the best looking work trousers I have seen for the price.
on Friday, May 11, 2012
Bought these in an 18 as pre-pregnancy 16-18. Quality felt really good and nice shaped legs but stomach section far too small and am only 19 weeks. Didn't come up very high and very tight. Returned.
Anne's Mum
on Friday, May 11, 2012
Ordered for my daughter, who is 29 weeks pregnant with twins, and desperate to find wearable work clothes. Unfortunately, she did not find these to be as loose around the thigh as she had hoped; and the fact that, in flat shoes, they dragged on the floor, meant that she would have had to turn up the hems. She felt that the price of the trousers did not justify this, and decided to return them. I received a refund almost immediately, and without question.
on Tuesday, May 01, 2012
I bought these for work, and wear them almost every day! They are very comfortable, and a good length with medium height heeled boots. I fit into a size 8 at 27 weeks which also made me happy!!
Rachel Graham
on Tuesday, May 01, 2012
These trousers are great, ideal for work or just being smarter at home. Very comfortable particularly at the early stages of pregnancy. They are going to be a staple in my work wardrobe over the next few months I am sure.
Tamie Matthews
on Monday, April 30, 2012
Very comfortable and look great for work.
on Thursday, January 05, 2012
Really comfy, good quality and looks really good. The waist elastic is designed well so can fit early pregnancy, throughout pregnancy and later on (just finished wearing post baby as the bump goes down). Would recommend them.
K Dodds
on Sunday, October 09, 2011
I bought these for work and the material is lovely and of good quality. I bought a size 14 as this is my pre-pregnant size but I don't think the elastic waistband is very generous (curent 19 weeks pregnant) so I won't get much wear out of them!
on Thursday, September 01, 2011
Great fit and very comfortable. Have worn them to work almost daily as they are so good. Really wish I could get them in grey too.

These trousers arrived yesterday on express delivery and I'm so glad they arrived so quickly as they are fantastic. Great fit, very comfortable waist band, quality material and very smart for office wear. Just wish I could get them in another colour as they will be a definite favourite of mine to wear

on Monday, September 06, 2010
The material these trousers are made from is amazing. It drapes really well and looks smart whilst being really comfortable. I am sure they will be a favourite for the next four months.

Earthquakes defeat Rapids 2-0
The San Jose Earthquakes completed a clean sweep of their three matches while in England, knocking off fellow MLS side Colorado Rapids 2-0 on Friday afternoon at Spurs Lodge in Chigwell. Ryan Johnson scored his second goal of the trip in the 10th minute and Quincy Amarikwa found the net in the 84th to secure the San Jose win.
San Jose took the lead at Spurs Lodge in the 10th minute when Arturo Alvarez played Ryan Johnson through. The Jamaican international muscled through a challenge by Julien Baudet, and lifted the ball over Colorado keeper Matt Pickens for the match opener.
The Rapids threatened to equalize in the 25th minute, as Johnson's fellow countrymen, Omar Cummings fought through a challenge to get a close range shot off inside the area. Joe Cannon was equal to the task, saving Cumming's effort with his legs.
15 minutes later, San Jose looked to double their lead as Ramiro Corrales came forward out of the back as his long range effort went just high of Pickens' net.
In the 73rd minute, Colorado nearly leveled, as Jeff Larentowicz struck his free kick well from about 25 yards out, but Cannon came up large again, first saving the free kick, and then stopping the rebound as well from close range. Cannon made five saves on the day, and San Jose's defense earned their third successive clean sheet.
The Quakes came close to a second in the 81st as Cornell Glen created enough space for his left-footed effort from just inside the area, however, Pickens made the diving save to push it wide.
Substitute Quincy Amarikwa put in the second goal of the day, and the Quakes cemented their victory just three minutes later. Glen held possession, as Amarikwa made his run behind the defense. Glen played a perfectly timed and weighted ball through, and Amarikwa finished coolly against the oncoming Pickens.
The Earthquakes won all three matches while over in England, defeating West Ham United on Monday at Upton Park 2-0, Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at Spurs Lodge on Wednesday and Colorado today, 2-0 at Spurs Lodge. The Quakes return home from London on Sunday, after they take in the Spurs-Blackburn Rovers match on Saturday at White Hart Lane.

HIV Prevention Update: Monthly Summaries of the Must-read Literature
Get this delivered monthly to your inbox!
- Policy Briefs: The Potential Cost and Impact of Expanding Male Circumcision
Clearinghouse on Male Circumcision for HIV Prevention
The Clearing House on Male Circumcision, in collaboration with the United States Agency for International Development, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, and the World Health Organization, have released policy papers on potential costing and impact of male circumcision in 14 countries in East and Southern Africa. These policy papers support efforts to scale up male circumcision in the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief programs and are intended to promote the use of the Male Circumcision: Decision Makers' Program Planning Tool (2009, PDF, 1.71 MB) with more detailed in-country data. Readily available data have been applied to estimate the potential cost and impact of scaling-up medical male circumcision services. The results presented in each of these policy briefs illustrate one of several possible scenarios and can be modified to reflect a range of different policies at the country level.
- Office of Global AIDS Coordinator Issues Five-Year Strategy
The Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator
On World AIDS Day, December 1, 2009, the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) issued the Five-Year Strategy. This strategy outlines the high-level direction of the program during the next five-year phase. It reflects lessons learned in the first five years of the program, expands existing commitments around service delivery, and places a heightened emphasis on sustainability. According to the plan, during the next phase PEPFAR will:
• Transition from an emergency response to promotion of sustainable country programs.
• Strengthen partner government capacity to lead the response to this epidemic and other health demands.
• Expand prevention, care, and treatment in both concentrated and generalized epidemics.
• Integrate and coordinate HIV/AIDS programs with broader global health and development programs to maximize impact on health systems.
• Invest in innovation and operations research to evaluate impact, improve service delivery, and maximize outcomes.
In addition to these overarching goals, PEPFAR's Five-Year Strategy announces new targets for the program for prevention, care and support, treatment, and sustainability. Annexes to the PEPFAR Strategy are also on the website and provide additional information about specific program areas.
- Enhancing Global Control of Alcohol to Reduce Unsafe Sex and HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa
Chersich, M. Ress, H.V, Scorgie, F. et al. Globalization and Health (2009), Vol. 5, p. 16.
Globally, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections account for 6.3 percent of the burden of disease, and alcohol for 4 percent. Much of sub-Saharan Africa, in particular, carries a massive burden of HIV and alcohol disease, and these pandemics are inextricably linked. According to the authors of this study, implementation of known effective multi-level structural interventions could alleviate a large portion of the alcohol-attributable burden of disease, including its effects on unsafe sex, sexual violence, unintended pregnancy, and HIV transmission. Physiological and behavioral research indicates that alcohol independently affects decision-making concerning sex, skills for negotiating condoms and their correct use, and risk of sexual violence. More than 20 studies in Africa have reported higher occurrence of HIV among people with problem drinking, a finding strongly consistent across studies and similar between women and men. Brief interventions for people with problem drinking must incorporate specific discussion of links between alcohol and unsafe sex, and the consequences thereof. Interventions to reduce alcohol harm among HIV-infected people are also an important element in positive-prevention initiatives. Control of alcohol use, including alcohol-sex linkages, has been prioritized by the World Health Assembly, and although implementing these measures will take political courage, there could be notable long-range effects.
- Keep Talking about It: HIV/AIDS-related Communication and Prior HIV Testing in Tanzania, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Thailand
Hendriksen, E., Hlubinka, D., Chariyalertsak, S., et al. AIDS and Behavior (2009). Vol. 13, pp. 1213–1221.
Informal, interpersonal communication within a community about HIV and AIDS, or lack of such communication, may influence community members' uptake of voluntary counseling and testing and other health behaviors, according to this cross-sectional study in Africa. Drawing from Noelle-Neumann's spiral of silence theory, the authors examined the association between communication about HIV/AIDS and prior HIV testing in 48 communities across five sites in Tanzania, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Thailand, with 14, 818 participants completing a behavioral baseline survey assessing communication, prior voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) uptake, social norms, stigma, and sexual risk. The only variable that was significantly and consistently associated with past HIV testing at every site was common conversations about HIV. Odds ratios for each site ranged from 1.885 to 3.085, indicating a roughly doubled or tripled chance of past VCT uptake. Results indicate that verbal communication may be an important mechanism for increasing health behaviors, and inclusion in future interventions should be considered. The authors indicate that to increase future VCT uptake in groups where testing uptake is low, interventions must focus on increasing conversations among men and encouraging repeat testing. Such actions may enable more individuals to know their current HIV status and thereby make informed choices about risk and care.
- The Contribution of Family Planning towards the Prevention of Vertical HIV Transmission in Uganda
Hladik, W., Stover, J., Esiru, G. et al. Plos One (2009) Vol. 4, No. 11, pp. e7691.
Current family planning (FP) practices in Uganda, a country with one of the highest fertility rates (TFR) worldwide, contribute as much or more to mitigating pediatric HIV than antiretroviral prophylaxis (ARV) and prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), argue the authors of this study. Using a baseline mathematical projection to estimate the current pediatric HIV burden in Uganda, they compared the effects of ARV for PMTCT to that of FP, finding that every day in Uganda, FP averts approximately 20 vertical infections and 9 pediatric AIDS deaths. This comparative analysis suggests that existing FP services significantly contribute to the goals of PMTCT, exceeding the current achievements of ARV-PMTCT alone. At the same time, unwanted fertility in Uganda accounts for a substantial amount of pediatric HIV disease and will continue to do so unless access to FP services improves significantly. Modern FP methods are safe, cost-effective, and provide substantial benefits for PMTCT and beyond. Targeting FP services for HIV-infected women could have a dramatic positive effect for PMTCT. According to the authors, donors, policymakers, and program planners need to acknowledge and embrace the real contribution of FP for PMTCT and support its expansion.
- Estimating Levels of HIV Testing, HIV Prevention Coverage, HIV Knowledge, and Condom Use among Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM) in Low-Income and Middle-Income Countries
Adam, P., de Wit, J., Toskin, I. et al. Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes (2009) Vol. 52 No. 2, pp. S143-S151.
Men who have sex with men (MSM) are at high risk for HIV infection in many low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC), and yet in these same countries HIV prevention responses for MSM do not reach satisfactory numbers of MSM and need substantial strengthening. This study presents global estimates on key HIV prevention needs and responses among MSM in LMIC. Data on HIV testing, HIV prevention coverage, HIV knowledge, and condom use among MSM were derived from United Nations General Assembly Special Session country progress reports submitted in 2008. Eligible country estimates were used to calculate global and regional estimates, weighted for the size of MSM populations. Of 147 LMIC, 45 percent reported at least one indicator that reflects the HIV prevention needs and responses in MSM. Global weighted estimates indicate that on average 31 percent of MSM in LMIC were tested for HIV; 33 percent were reached by HIV prevention programs; 44 percent had correct HIV knowledge; and 54 percent used condoms the last time they had anal sex with a man.
Following this analysis, the authors conclude that extending and improving monitoring, research, and prevention among MSM in LMIC is not only a matter of promoting sound public health practices, but also contributes to protecting their human rights.
- Progress in Global Blood Safety for HIV
Takei, T., Amin, N., Schmid, G., et al. Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes (2009). Vol. 52, pp. S127-S131.
Progress has been made toward eliminating blood transfusion as a significant cause of HIV infection globally. Screening all donated blood for HIV in accordance with minimum quality standards remains vital, however, as health care systems should, at a minimum, do no harm. This study examined two global databases for blood safety: 1) the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS (UNGASS) blood safety indicator, collected through the Ministry of Health in each country and cross checked by the World Health Organization and United Nations Programme on AIDS (UNAIDS); and 2) the Global Database on Blood Safety (GDBS), a database developed by the World Health Organization. Altogether, 125 United Nations Member States (85 percent of the 147 that participated in UNGASS) submitted data on blood safety. Ninety-one of the 125 countries (73 percent) reported that 100 percent of collected blood units were screened in a quality-assured manner, but 34 countries did not screen all collected blood units in accordance with minimum quality standards. GDBS data showed that 80.7 million blood units were collected globally in 167 countries during 2004–2005, of which 77.3 million were tested for HIV, and at least 0.6 million of the remaining 3.4 million donations went untested.
- Improving the Coverage of the PMTCT Programme through a Participatory Quality Improvement Intervention in South Africa
Doherty, T., Chopra, M., Nsibande, D., et al. BioMedCentral Public Health (2009) Vol. 9, No. 1, pp. 406.
Despite several years of implementation, prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) programs in many resource-poor settings fail to reach the majority of HIV- positive women, concludes this data-driven study from a high HIV-prevalence district in South Africa. An initial participatory quality improvement intervention was implemented, consisting of an assessment; workshops to assess results, identify weaknesses, and set improvement targets; and continuous monitoring to support changes. The assessment also identified weaknesses in training and supervision, and poor coverage of all program indicators except HIV testing. To address these shortfalls, monthly support to all facilities took place, including an orientation to the PMTCT protocol, review of local data, and identification of bottlenecks to optimal coverage using a continuous quality improvement approach. One year following the intervention, large improvements in program indicators were observed. Coverage of CD4 testing increased from 40 to 97 percent, uptake of maternal nevirapine from 57 to 96 percent, uptake of infant nevirapine from 15 to 68 percent, and six-week PCR testing from 24 to 68 percent. This relatively simple participatory assessment and intervention process has enabled program managers to use a data-driven approach to improve program coverage.
- Male Circumcision to Reduce the Risk of HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections among Men Who Have Sex with Men
Templeton, D. J., Millett, G. A., Grulich, A. E. Current Opinion Infectious Diseases (2009) In press.
Summarizing the available data on the association of circumcision status and HIV/STI acquisition among men who have sex with men (MSM), the authors of this review find that circumcision has limited impact among MSM populations overall. Recent studies, however, have found that circumcised MSM who predominantly take the insertive role in anal intercourse may be at a lower risk of HIV infection, although the relative inefficiency of HIV acquisition for insertive compared with receptive partners has resulted in imprecise estimates of effect. Longitudinal data also suggest that circumcision may reduce the risk of incident syphilis, but there is little evidence of a protective effect for other STIs. A recent mathematical transmission model estimated that circumcision of adult MSM may be cost-effective in resource-rich settings, even those with baseline moderate-to-high male circumcision prevalence. The authors add that although MSM may be willing to undergo adult circumcision, should it be proven to reduce HIV acquisition risk, there is substantial potential that behavioral disinhibition could offset any benefits achieved by a circumcision intervention.
- Male Circumcision for HIV Prevention in High HIV Prevalence Settings: What Can Mathematical Modelling Contribute to Informed Decision Making?
Hankins, C., Williams, B., Raddad, L. A. et al. PLoS Medicine (2009) Vol. 6 No 9, pp. 1-8.
Mathematical models can estimate the population-level impact of male circumcision on HIV incidence in high HIV- prevalence settings, but different methods, assumptions, and input variables can produce conflicting results, according to experts from UNAIDS, WHO, and the South African Centre for Epidemiological Modelling. The authors report large benefits of male circumcision among heterosexual men in low male-circumcision, high HIV- prevalence settings, with one HIV infection being averted for every 5 to 15 male circumcisions performed, and costs to avert one HIV infection ranging from US$150 to US$900 using a 10-year time horizon. The models predicted that both premature postoperative resumption of sexual intercourse and behavioral risk compensation, if confined to newly or already circumcised men and their partners, have only small population level effects on the anticipated impact of male circumcision service scale-up on HIV incidence. Women benefit indirectly from reduced HIV prevalence in circumcised male partners, and male circumcision service scale-up acts synergistically with other strategies to reduce HIV disease burden. The modeling results have informed development of a pragmatic decision makers' program planning tool.
- Microbicides for HIV Prevention: Reality or Hope?
McGowan, I. Current Opinion Infectious Diseases (2009). In press.
Although many microbicide candidates for HIV prevention have been discarded due to safety issues or lack of efficacy, lessons learned over the last two decades provide hope that a safe and effective one can be developed, explains the author of this review. With the approximately 50 candidate microbicides currently in development (see www.microbicide.org, for a full list), there has been a move from broad-spectrum microbicide products to antiretroviral microbicides that target specific steps in the viral life cycle. Phase 2B/3 effectiveness studies of surfactant and polyanion vaginal microbicides have demonstrated modest or no effect against HIV infection, and in the case of nonoxynol-9 and cellulose sulfate, the potential to increase the risk of HIV acquisition. However, newer antiretroviral microbicide candidates such as tenofovir have shown good safety and significant efficacy in animal models and human tissue explant systems, and are currently being evaluated in human effectiveness studies. New formulation platforms such as vaginal rings are being developed to optimize product acceptability and adherence, and far greater scrutiny of candidate microbicides is happening at both the preclinical and early clinical phase of development.
- Stigma Rises despite Antiretroviral Roll-Out: A Longitudinal Analysis in South Africa
Maughan-Brown, B. Social Science & Medicine (2009) In press.
Stigma is a complex social construct that must be monitored over time, according to this report, which provides the first quantitative evaluation in Africa of the changing nature of stigma and the potential determinants of these changes. Data collected in Cape Town in 2003 and 2006 for 1,074 young adults aged 14-22 years were used to evaluate changes in three distinct dimensions of stigma: behavioral intentions towards people living with HIV/AIDS; instrumental stigma; and symbolic stigma. Results indicate that each dimension of stigma increased in the population as a whole, and for all racial and gender sub-groups. Symbolic stigma increased the most, followed by instrumental stigma, while negative behavioral intentions showed a modest increase. Knowing someone who died of AIDS was significantly associated with an increase in instrumental stigma and symbolic stigma, while increased personal contact with people living with HIV/AIDS was not significantly associated with any changes in stigma. Despite interventions, such as public-sector provision of antiretroviral treatment, stigma increased among a sample highly targeted with HIV-prevention messages. The authors conclude that renewed efforts are necessary to reduce stigma, perhaps through interventions to weaken the association between HIV/AIDS and death, to reduce fear of HIV/AIDS, and to recast HIV as a chronic, manageable disease.
- Is There a Gender Gap in the HIV Response? Evaluating National HIV Responses from the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS Country Reports
Carael, M., Marais, H., Polsky, J., et al. Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes (2009) Vol. 52, pp. S111-S118.
Since 2001, a large majority of countries have integrated issues relating to women into their national HIV policies and strategic plans, reported data disaggregated by sex and age, and attained gender equity in HIV testing and the delivery of antiretrovirals. Countries and regions with low-level or concentrated HIV epidemics, however, lag behind countries with generalized epidemics in integrating women-focused policies into national frameworks, and lack engagement of development ministries in women's social and economic empowerment. This article examines a report back of United Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS (UNGASS) data on policies and strategies affecting equity for women and men. A total of 82 percent (108 of 130) of countries report having policies in place to ensure that women have equal access to HIV-related services, but 14 percent of reporting countries also have laws and policies that hinder their ability to deliver effective HIV programs for women. About 80 percent of countries report having included women as a specific sector in their multisectoral AIDS strategies or action frameworks; however, only slightly more than half (53 percent) of those countries report having a budget attached to programs addressing women's issues. By the end of 2007, women represented a slight majority of the 33 percent of those receiving treatment.
- A Situation Update on HIV Epidemics among People Who Inject Drugs and National Responses in South-East Asia Region
Sharma, M., Oppenheimer, E., Saidel, T., et al. AIDS (2009) Vol. 23, pp. 1405-13.
To make a dent in the HIV epidemics among people who inject drugs (PWID), national AIDS programs should urgently scale-up opioid substitution therapy and needle-syringe program services to cover at least 50 to 60 percent of PWID and make these programs widely available both in community and closed settings. This article examines the magnitude of and current trends in HIV infection among PWID and estimates the reach of harm reduction interventions in seven high drug use burden countries. Six of the countries—Thailand, Myanmar, Nepal, Indonesia, India, and Bangladesh—had significant epidemics of HIV among people who inject drugs. Although in five of the countries—Thailand, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and India—there is no significant decline in the prevalence of HIV epidemics for PWID, in Nepal, north-east India, and some cities in Myanmar there is some evidence of decline in risk behaviors and a concomitant decline in HIV prevalence. This is countered, however, by the rapid emergence of epidemics in new geographical pockets. Program data suggest that less than 12,000 of the estimated 800,000 (1.5 percent) people who inject drugs have access to opioid substitution therapy, and 20 to 25 percent were reached by needle-syringe programs at least once during the past 12 months.
- Critical Choices in Financing the Response to the Global HIV/AIDS Pandemic
Hecht, R., Bollinger, L., Stover, J., et al. Health Affairs (2009) Vol. 28 No. 6, pp. 1591-1605.
Modeling carried out for the AIDS 2031 project suggests that AIDS resource requirements will increase rapidly over the next five to eight years and will continue to rise over the subsequent 15 years. Funding required for developing countries to address the pandemic could reach $35 billion annually by 2031—three times the current level. Even then, more than a million people will still be newly infected each year. Despite this bleak outlook, the authors contend that policy choices focusing on high-impact prevention and efficient treatment could cut costs by half. Major savings are possible if efforts are focused on high-impact prevention for most-at-risk populations—sex workers, men who have sex with men, and injecting drug users—who suffer from stigma and discrimination and from governments' limited willingness to channel resources their way. The authors advocate broader structural changes, lower treatment costs, and low-cost, high-quality delivery approaches consisting of tightly supervised local clinics staffed with paraprofessionals and doctors. They also call for expanding HIV prevention tools to include a combination of new technologies, such as an AIDS vaccine or treatment leading to a cure, as well as outline six policy actions to expand financing for HIV in low- and middle-income countries.
- Ensuring Human and Sexual Rights for Men Who Have Sex with Men Living with HIV
Moody, K. Bulletin World Health Organization (2009) Vol. 87, pp. 875-876.
In December, 2008, Senegal hosted the International Conference on AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Africa, a prestigious regional conference highlighting advancements in HIV prevention, treatment, and support in Africa. Directly following the conference, the Senegalese government arrested nine members of AIDES Senegal, a nongovernmental organization that works on HIV prevention and support for people living with HIV. The men were ultimately convicted as homosexuals and received a sentence of five years in prison. Only following significant international pressure, and after the men had spent almost three months in jail, were the convictions overturned on appeal. This article outlines discrimination and stigma, such as the above-mentioned example, faced by men who have sex with men (MSM) living with HIV. In many countries, MSM with HIV are not able to access their full rights, due either to repressive laws or discrimination, or, in some countries, death. Violations of rights are not reported for fear of reprisals, and if reported are not taken seriously. The author emphasizes that laws, perceptions, and practices need to change quickly to ensure that MSM with HIV are able to exercise their full rights as citizens, including the right to life, the right to form families, and the right to good health.
- Reproductive Choices for Women with HIV
Wilcher, R., Cates, W. Bulletin World Health Organization (2009) Vol. 87, pp. 833-839.
Access to reproductive health services for women with HIV is critical for ensuring that their reproductive needs are addressed and their reproductive rights protected. In addition, preventing unintended pregnancies in women with HIV is an essential component of any comprehensive prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) program. According to the authors, thanks to the emergence of health systems strengthening as a priority of the global health initiative, there is now an opportunity to advance the linkages between sexual and reproductive health and HIV. Unfortunately, however, despite consensus that preventing unintended pregnancies in women with HIV is critical to achieving PMTCT goals, HIV programs are falling short in making these essential linkages. HIV funders and policymakers must overcome certain obstacles, including: 1) the narrow focus of current PMTCT programs on treating women with HIV who are already pregnant; 2) separate, parallel funding mechanisms for sexual and reproductive health and HIV programs; 3) political resistance from major HIV funders and policy-makers to include sexual and reproductive health as an important HIV program component; and 4) gaps in the evidence base regarding effective approaches for integrating sexual and reproductive health and HIV services.
- Rapid Advice: Use of Antiretroviral Drugs for Treating Pregnant Women and Preventing HIV Infection in Infants
World Health Organization
Based on the latest scientific evidence, on December 1, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued new recommendations on treatment, prevention, and infant feeding in the context of HIV. WHO now recommends earlier initiation of antiretroviral therapy for adults and adolescents, the delivery of more patient-friendly antiretroviral drugs (ARVs), and prolonged use of ARVs to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV. For the first time, WHO recommends the use of ARVs earlier in pregnancy (starting at 14 weeks), and promotes the use of ARVs while breastfeeding to prevent HIV transmission. WHO also recommends that breastfeeding continue until the infant is 12 months old, provided the HIV-positive mother or baby is taking ARVs during that period. National health authorities are encouraged by WHO to identify the most appropriate infant feeding practice (either breastfeeding with ARVs or the use of infant formula) for their communities. The selected practice should then be promoted as the single standard of care. According to WHO, the new PMTCT recommendations have the potential to reduce mother-to-child HIV transmission risk to 5 percent or lower. Combined with improved infant feeding practices, the recommendations can also help to improve child survival.
- Physicians for Human Rights Report on Partnership Frameworks
Physicians for Human Rights
The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) country teams and PEPFAR partner countries are in the process of developing partnership framework agreements that will guide both PEPFAR and partner country HIV/AIDS objectives and programming over the next five years. Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) analyzed how the four agreements finalized as of mid-November, 2009, for Malawi, Swaziland, Lesotho, and Angola, and a later draft for Kenya, address three issues related to stigma and discrimination: legal and regulatory reform, stigma and discrimination in the health sector, and recognition of the need to address stigma and discrimination against people with disabilities. While the agreements vary in approach, PHR found that the initial partnership framework agreements inadequately incorporate PEPFAR's goals of creating stigma-free HIV programs and reaching even the most marginalized populations. Most of the agreements fail to address the need for legal and policy reform with respect to securing the equal rights of women. Similarly, the majority of the agreements addressed the issues of stigma and discrimination within the health sector either inadequately or not at all. According to PHR, these failures run the risk that PEPFAR programs will respond insufficiently to such matters and miss an opportunity to catalyze legal and policy reform in partner countries.
- UGANDA: AIDS Commission Takes New Direction in Prevention
The Uganda AIDS Commission (UAC), in collaboration with a team of medical and communication experts, is revamping its national HIV information campaign after HIV prevention messages were less successful than hoped. The term high-risk sex—previously defined as sex with an irregular partner—is to be redefined as sex with anyone whose HIV status is not known. As such, the term "most at-risk populations" will no longer refer to specific groups such as sex workers, fishing communities, and men who have sex with men, but to all members of the population engaging in risky sex. Campaigns aimed at ending cross-generational sex will be abandoned in favor of generic warnings about engaging in risky sex because of fears that young people may believe that sex within their own generation is risk-free. Officials have also said factors such as alcohol abuse, which predispose people to risky sexual behavior, must be tackled alongside HIV prevention. The new messages will attempt to bring the HIV response in line with the drivers of the epidemic. Several senior officials have called for the return of fear-driven campaigns, although detractors of this method say the key to success in prevention is education, not fear.

- Quantifying high-frequency market reactions to real-time news sentiment announcements (2009)
- We examine intra-day market reactions to news in stock-specific sentiment disclosures. Using pre-processed data from an automated news analytics tool based on linguistic pattern recognition we extract information on the relevance as well as the direction of company-specific news. Information-implied reactions in returns, volatility as well as liquidity demand and supply are quantified by a high-frequency VAR model using 20 second intervals. Analyzing a cross-section of stocks traded at the London Stock Exchange (LSE), we find market-wide robust news-dependent responses in volatility and trading volume. However, this is only true if news items are classified as highly relevant. Liquidity supply reacts less distinctly due to a stronger influence of idiosyncratic noise. Furthermore, evidence for abnormal highfrequency returns after news in sentiments is shown. JEL-Classification: G14, C32
- Analyzing interest rate risk: stochastic volatility in the term structure of government bond yields (2009)
- We propose a Nelson-Siegel type interest rate term structure model where the underlying yield factors follow autoregressive processes with stochastic volatility. The factor volatilities parsimoniously capture risk inherent to the term structure and are associated with the time-varying uncertainty of the yield curve's level, slope and curvature. Estimating the model based on U.S. government bond yields applying Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques we find that the factor volatilities follow highly persistent processes. We show that slope and curvature risk have explanatory power for bond excess returns and illustrate that the yield and volatility factors are closely related to industrial capacity utilization, inflation, monetary policy and employment growth. JEL Classification: C5, E4, G1
- Modelling and forecasting liquidity supply using semiparametric factor dynamics (2009)
- We model the dynamics of ask and bid curves in a limit order book market using a dynamic semiparametric factor model. The shape of the curves is captured by a factor structure which is estimated nonparametrically. Corresponding factor loadings are assumed to follow multivariate dynamics and are modelled using a vector autoregressive model. Applying the framework to four stocks traded at the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) in 2002, we show that the suggested model captures the spatial and temporal dependencies of the limit order book. Relating the shape of the curves to variables reflecting the current state of the market, we show that the recent liquidity demand has the strongest impact. In an extensive forecasting analysis we show that the model is successful in forecasting the liquidity supply over various time horizons during a trading day. Moreover, it is shown that the model's forecasting power can be used to improve optimal order execution strategies.
- A blocking and regularization approach to high dimensional realized covariance estimation (2009)
- We introduce a regularization and blocking estimator for well-conditioned high-dimensional daily covariances using high-frequency data. Using the Barndorff-Nielsen, Hansen, Lunde, and Shephard (2008a) kernel estimator, we estimate the covariance matrix block-wise and regularize it. A data-driven grouping of assets of similar trading frequency ensures the reduction of data loss due to refresh time sampling. In an extensive simulation study mimicking the empirical features of the S&P 1500 universe we show that the 'RnB' estimator yields efficiency gains and outperforms competing kernel estimators for varying liquidity settings, noise-to-signal ratios, and dimensions. An empirical application of forecasting daily covariances of the S&P 500 index confirms the simulation results.
- The market impact of a limit order (2009)
- Despite their importance in modern electronic trading, virtually no systematic empirical evidence on the market impact of incoming orders is existing. We quantify the short-run and long-run price effect of posting a limit order by proposing a high-frequency cointegrated VAR model for ask and bid quotes and several levels of order book depth. Price impacts are estimated by means of appropriate impulse response functions. Analyzing order book data of 30 stocks traded at Euronext Amsterdam, we show that limit orders have significant market impacts and cause a dynamic (and typically asymmetric) rebalancing of the book. The strength and direction of quote and spread responses depend on the incoming orders' aggressiveness, their size and the state of the book. We show that the effects are qualitatively quite stable across the market. Cross-sectional variations in the magnitudes of price impacts are well explained by the underlying trading frequency and relative tick size.

Patella Bands and Knee Straps
Patella bands, also known as knee straps, help to relieve pressure off the patellar tendon in the knee. When the patellar tendon is strained past its normal range of motion, it can cause inflammation and patellar tendonitis - leading to knee pain and discomfort. This is exactly what patella bands help prevent. They apply gentle pressure to the front of the knee, which alleviates stress from the patellar tendon. This is especially important for people who participate in activities that apply force on the knees, such as sports. Sports that involve lots of running put pressure on the knees because of the constant impact between the leg and the ground. That's why many athletes wear patella bands to help prevent knee pain and injury resulting from the stress on their knees. Here are a couple of our bestselling patella bands and knee straps:
- DonJoy Cross Strap - a bestselling patella band that's great for helping prevent patellar tendonitis
- Aircast Infrapatellar Band - unique air cell design applies gentle pressure on the knee to alleviate knee pain

Education and Training
Accredited Continuing Medical Education
- Chagas Disease: What U.S. Clinicians Need to Know This course is designed to educate clinicians about Chagas disease in the United States. Lesson 1 covers basic epidemiology, including a detailed life cycle of Trypanosoma cruzi (the causative agent) and risk factors for acquiring the disease. Lesson 2 discusses phases and manifestations of Chagas disease. Lesson 3 covers laboratory diagnosis, clinical evaluation, and treatment options. This course also includes three patient scenarios so that participants have the opportunity to think critically about diagnosing and treating Chagas.
- Malaria 101 for the Health Care Provider This course is a web-based training course designed to teach clinicians about the epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of malaria. Lesson 1 provides some background on malaria and discusses the epidemiology of malaria. Lesson 2 discusses the prevention of malaria in travelers. Lesson 3 reviews the diagnosis and treatment of malaria. After the lessons, three clinical scenarios will be presented.
- Malaria Cases in the U.S. Reach 40-Year High: Information and Guidance for Clinicians The number of malaria cases reported in the United States in 2011 was the largest since 1971, representing a 14% increase from 2010 and a 48% increase from 2008. The majority of malaria infections occurred among persons who traveled to regions with ongoing malaria transmission. Imported malaria can reintroduce malaria into regions where the disease is not endemic and environmental conditions are present that support the lifecycle of the parasite. During this COCA call, a CDC subject matter expert will describe malaria prevention strategies aimed at reducing the risk of malaria in travelers, discuss the diagnosis of malaria in patients with suspect malaria, and explain the treatment options for confirmed malaria cases.
Laboratory Training
- CDC Bottle Bioassay The CDC bottle bioassay determines if a particular formulation (combination of the active ingredient in the insecticide and inactive ingredients) is able to kill an insect vector, such as a mosquito, at a specific location at a given time. It can detect resistance to insecticides in mosquitoes and other insects. The technique is simple, rapid, and economical, compared with alternatives. The results can help guide the choice of insecticide used for spraying.

Interesting Things
Some projects are playing with the Mocha mocking framework. From their site:
Mocha is a library for mocking and stubbing using a syntax like that of JMock, and SchMock. Most commonly Mocha is used in conjunction with Test::Unit, but it can be used in other contexts.
Our own Nathan Sobo has released Treetop 0.1.0:
Treetop is a Ruby-based DSL for text parsing and interpretation. It facilitates an extension of the object-oriented paradigm called syntax-oriented programming.
- Jeff from Inveneo presented us with a tech-talk recently about the technology they are bringing to rural and remote communities throughout the world. Fascinating stuff. A group here has volunteered to help write some software if needed.
Ask for Help
- "Are there problems getting Rspec mocks to 'reset' for each spec run?" Mocks persist across test/spec runs for class methods, so watch out.
- "My routes arn't working…" Remember that Rails routes are positional, which means that they are matched top-to-bottom; changing the position seemed to be the fix in this case.
