Estrogen Dosing in Turner Syndrome: Pharmacology and Metabolism

- How to Read a Study Record
Estrogen is necessary for feminization during puberty and to decrease bone resorption, the latter critical for the achievement of peak bone mass and normal bone health in the female. The practicing pediatric endocrinologist often faces the dilemma of how to best feminize girls with hypogonadism (lack of estrogen), manifested as delayed or arrested puberty, due to disorders of the brain or the ovaries. We propose a series of studies to address which type, dose, and route of delivery of estrogen are suitable choices in feminizing and sustaining estrogen concentrations in adolescent girls with Turner syndrome. To accomplish this we will study girls/young woman between the ages of 13 to 20 with Turner Syndrome in 2 protocols. In Protocol # 1 we will study 24 girls with TS, they will receive 3 different estrogen preparations, either by mouth or via a patch for a total of 6 weeks. They will come to the clinical research center for blood draws after 2 wks of taking the estrogen. With this study, we hope to learn how the body responds to estrogen differently, depending on the form estrogen is given and how high, estrogen levels gets in the blood in these girls with Turner Syndrome. We will be comparing these patients estrogen levels to girls that menstruate normally and do not have Turner Syndrome. In Protocol #2, 40 patients with TS will be recruited; these patients will take estrogen for 1 year, either by mouth or via a patch. Patients will come to the lab for blood drawn in 7 occasions and we will measure estrogen levels as well as other hormones and lipid levels. We will also perform a DEXA study (like an X ray) to assess body composition and bone mineralization. We will adjust doses based on the estrogen levels we find. With this study we hope to learn how estrogen affects body composition, i.e., the amount of fat vs. muscle, and how different forms of estrogen affect blood cholesterol and other hormones. This study will allow us to understand better how to best replace young woman with Turner Syndrome with estrogen.

Other Name: Vivelle
Detailed Description:
Data on the specific effects and bioequivalency of the different forms of estrogen are lacking, and in the young adolescent age group in particular, virtually non-existent. This has been complicated further by the difficulty in accurately interpreting estradiol assay results as the conventional radioimmunoassays (RIA) for estradiol are inaccurate and insensitive measuring very small concentrations in plasma. There is wide variation in the types of estrogens used for estrogen replacement, as well as doses and route of administration. Girls with Turner syndrome (TS) represent an important case study for these issues as they have early primary gonadal insufficiency or failure many years before the achievement of peak bone mass. Hence, a study of the effects of different estrogen compounds in this patient population offers a unique model that eliminates the confounding effects of other products produced by the intact gonad. Since in this condition it is imperative that estrogen replacement is started during the adolescent years and continued for several decades, this issue becomes highly relevant to these young women's health.Our specific aims are to: 1. to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) and relative biological potency of different oral vs. transdermal preparations of estradiol using state-of-the-art tandem mass spectrometry assays and recombinant cell bioassays; 2. to investigate the differential, long term metabolic effects of oral vs. transdermal estrogen replacement, specifically the effects on lipid and protein metabolism as well as body composition in this patient population; 3. to determine feasibility of estrogen concentration-based dosing in puberty and 4. To characterize the metabolic profile of TS girls previously treated with GH. To accomplish this we will study girls/young woman between ages 13 to 20 with TS in 2 protocols. Protocol #1 will be a study of the PK/PD of 3 different preparations of estrogen in different doses. Protocol #2 will be a one year longitudinal study of the effects of oral vs. TD estrogen on body composition, hormones and growth factors.

Aviva Premiership
Top two clash at Wembley
ESPNscrum Staff
March 28, 2012
Harlequins went back to the top after their win over Bath
© Getty Images
Saracens will have the chance to overhaul Harlequins at the top of the Premiership table when the top two meet at Wembley this Saturday. Quins have led the way since September but Sarries briefly went top with a thumping win over Sale last Friday before Conor O'Shea's men regained pole position with a narrow victory over Bath on Saturday. And a victory at Wembley, which is set to boost a crowd of almost , would see Sarries jump ahead of their rivals. England trio Owen Farrell, David Strettle and Mouritz Botha all return for Sarries but young Farrell defers the No.10 shirt to Charlie Hodgson. England captain Chris Robshaw returns to skipper Quins, but hooker Joe Gray has been ruled out by injury and is replaced by England Under-20 international Rob Buchanan. Quins are unchanged behind the scrum. However defeat could see them concede second spot to Leicester Tigers, who face Worcester Warriors at Welford Road on Friday night. The Tigers are hot on the heels of the top two after nine wins in their last ten Premiership matches and victory over the Warriors would take them second, if only for half a day. Richard Cockerill's men have scored 119 points in their last three games. James Grindal takes the scrum-half role after Leicester suspended their England No.9 Ben Youngs ahead. Elsewhere, wing Alesana Tuilagi, centre Anthony Allen, prop Martin Castrogiovanni and flanker Tom Croft all return to starting duty. Worcester show two changes from the side that beat relegation-haunted Newcastle at Sixways last time out with Matt Kvesic in for Jake Abbott and Blair Cowan packing down at No.8. Northampton Saints currently occupy the fourth play-off place. They play the inconsistent Bath at the Rec on Saturday afternoon as they look to consolidate their place in the top four. However their progress could be hampered by the loss of Dylan Hartley and Calum Clark, both of whom are suspended for the foreseeable future. Bath have suffered narrow defeats to Harlequins and Gloucester in the Premiership recently but recorded wins over Worcester and Exeter. World Cup winner Stephen Donald has recovered from injury to return as fly-half at the Recreation Ground. Elsewhere, Nick Abendanon starts in the full-back position, with Matt Banahan on the right-wing and Dan Hipkiss joining Matt Carraro in midfield, while changes up-front include a start for flanker Ben Skirving. The Chiefs, who are are still in the hunt for a top four finish with four rounds remaining, host London Irish at Sandy Park on Sunday. A remarkable victory over Gloucester last weekend will have built Exeter's belief while successive defeats to Wasps and Leicester have severed the Exiles' distant hopes of contesting the play-offs. The Chiefs are unchanged again and the Exiles make a solitary change with Adrian Jarvis starting at fly-half in an Exiles side skippered by lock Nick Kennedy. At the other end of the table, Newcastle Falcons host Sale Sharks at Kingston Park on Friday night. The Falcons appear to be fighting a losing battle against relegation and face another tough task against a Sale side chastened by thumping defeats to Saracens and Exeter in recent weeks. Newcastle are boosted by hooker Rob Vickers' return from suspension, while Tom Bedford replaces wing Alex Tait as the only other change. Sale hand call-ups to centre Johnny Leota and back-row forward Richie Vernon. Luther Burrell and Mark Easter drop to the bench. Wasps, who take on Gloucester at Adams Park, hold an eight-point advantage over Newcastle and a victory on Sunday would allow Dai Young to breathe a little easier. Young has made two changes from the side beaten by Northampton six days ago. Paul Emerick replaces injured centre Dom Waldouck, with back-row forward Billy Vunipola in for Jonathan Poff. Gloucester, beaten in injury time by Exeter last Saturday, show five changes from that game. Henry Trinder, fit again after suffering a broken jaw, partners Tim Molenaar in midfield, while there are also starts for scrum-half Nick Runciman, lock Tom Savage, who replaces an unwell Alex Brown, and flanker Peter Buxton. © ESPN Sports Media Ltd.

I love this milk. I use it as a make-up remover too.
By Jean
from Fredericton NB
I have been useing the collagen re-inforce for a short while and just loving it. My skin never was easy to except new products. All of EG's are for everyone and I wouldn't look back.I am hooked on EG's wonderful promising products. I have one question: For the larger bottles can you through in a pump for eachone? (CLEANSERS)Thank You Elizabeth Grant
Lovely ingredients make this special.
By DIANE
from CORNWALLIS , NS
This is a new favourite and much preferred over EG cleansers which preceded it. I am very careful about ingredients and love the things which are NOT in this cleanser. It applies smoothly over your skin, feeling wonderful as you gently massage it in. As a cleansing milk, there is no foam or lather (no SLS either!). It rinses off easily, leaving your skin so soft and moist.This is such a gentle cleanser to use-I really enjoy how my skin feels, even before applying my other products.
Creamy & Refreshing
By IrenePhD
from Winnipeg
Personally, I like this cleansing milk. It prevents me from "over scrubbing" my face - and I like to scrub! It goes on smoothly and I massage it gentle over my face, and neck - Décolleté; I don't worry about how much I do or do not rinse off, as I know that this is treating my face! Then, I try to pat my face dry (again, I like to scrub dry, too!) Followed by the beautiful toner, my face is smooth and moisturized. It's a lovely cleanser/treatment for aging skin.

Dislike immensley!!!!!
By DK1
from WINNIPEG
Not good at all. What happened to the awesome cleansers I've used for years?? Now I'm out looking for somethingm that does what her cleanser used to. I threw mine away!
Love Love this Cleanser
By Jeanne
from Calgary
This cleanser is a hit for me. It does not leave your skin feeling greay after you use it. It feels so soft everytime I wash my face. I also recommend to use Elizabeth's Cleansing Mask in conjunction of the Cleansing Milk. All I can say this is a great cleaser and I just love it. My only request Elizabeth & Susan is that if you could make this in a super size that would be so great.
Great Cleanser
By Merridae
from Middle Sackville, Nova Scotia
I have used all of Elizabeth Grant's cleansers in the past 11 years and have never been disappointed. I am particularly fond of this milky cleanser because it is so gentle and removes all of my makeup as well. It leaves my skin clean and smooth and the toner that accompanies it is so gentle and effective; the perfect combination!
By Marnie
from DARTMOUTH
This creamy cleanser is something I was waiting for from Elizabeth because she had other cleansers but not the cream one-This is very mild, has a clean smell-no perfumey smell at all-I just smooth it and massage a bit over my face and neck and then wash off.I like it because it is not soapy and leaves no residue.I also find that it does clean and does take off makeup and a great portion of eye makeup-mascara and eye liner-but needs a real eye makeup cleanser to clean the whole lot of it off.However with my skin, I need a real deep cleanser a few times a week along with this because this mild cleanser is not quite enough by itself to deep clean my pores.-my 4 stars is indicative of this.But I do like it for my face and appreciate its' creamy texture.
This Is The Best Cleansing Milk !
By RB
from Toronto
I'm very impressed with this new cleaning milk! It goes on well and you massage it in, then wash it off. It smells great after, and your face feels so clean and fresh. Pick it up and you will not be disappointed. Great new product Elizabeth Grant!
creamy and good for sensitive skin
By Lorna Doone
from St. Catharines, Ontario
I love this cleanser for my sensitive skin. It feels creamy and dreamy as I massage my face with it. It did not leave a residue on my skin, in fact, it rinsed off with a face cloth and tepid water, quite nicely.It removes makeup, but not as well as a specific makeup remover does. If I don't have much makeup on, it is fine, but more than one coat of mascara, and long wearing lipstick will not come completely off.I will try some of the other EG cleansers, but this one is still quite nice, and good for my sensitive skin.

Comunidade da Favela Paraisópolis
There are some places on Earth we all would love to visit someday, but here are five nations you never want to visit!
1. South Africa
Hi-jacking hot spot
South Africa, hosting the soccer World Cup and brimful of tourists, must seem like heaven to criminals. This country has been described as the 'rape capital of the world', with 118.3 rapes per 100,000 people. Not only is the high incidence of rape bad news for visitors, but there's also an incredibly high murder rate. This country consistently has one of the highest homicide rates in the world. While most crime occurs in poor areas, gated communities have been appearing all over the country, and armed guards regularly protect the wealthier tourist groups. Farming here has become one of the most dangerous jobs on earth, as murder rates for farmers are about 8 times higher than the national average. With over 10 million people infected with HIV, safe sex is also a good idea. A beautiful place to visit, but be on your guard.
2. Brazil
Favela no Rio de Janeiro
If you travel to Brazil you are likely to get mugged, because anyone who looks like a tourist is a target. Desperate poverty lies alongside great wealth in this country. Economic growth has widened the gap between rich and poor and made crime rates soar. Street crime is rampant in parts of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo, and it is common for tourists to have their lives threatened for their valuables.
'Quicknappings' which involve being abducted and taken to an ATM to pay your own ransom are also becoming more common. Mobile phone technology means that your family is only one call away from extortion if you are unable to pay up. Street crime and organized criminal gangs have waged war against officials who refuse to be bribed. Drugs and related crime also claim civilian lives. The carnival in Rio is still a really exciting event for any tourist - but just be extra careful if you do go!
3. Colombia
Colombia is a truly lawless state, and the world capital for kidnappings. There were 2,338 in 1998. Of these 138 were killed by their kidnappers. Fourth in the world for murder rates with 69.98 per 100,000 people in 2006, many of those killed were local mayors, dozens being killed every year. And of course, Colombia supplies 75% of the worlds supply of cocaine. Paramilitary groups wage continuous war on the government. Even charity workers are not safe from attack. In 2005, 5 Catholic missionaries were murdered, nine in 1999. Colombia should be a tourist paradise, but is instead among the most lawless and feared places to visit on earth.
4. Russia
Teenage drug addicts
Russia today is another country where crime is rife, run in the main, it seems, by vandals and gangsters. The Russian mafia is all-powerful and it is believed that there are more gangsters than police in this lawless land. One Russian is assassinated every 18 minutes, averaging 84 murders per day in a nation of 143 million. Foreigners are often kidnapped just because they fetch higher ransoms. Crimes on tourists include pickpocketing wallets, cell phones, cameras and cash, and can even include physical assaults. if you do visit Russia, just make sure you keep your wits about you!
5. Somalia
Somalia is an extremely poor state that is well known for anarchy, corruption, lack of government and starvation. Travelers are warned against going there, and for excellent reasons. The self-proclaimed "Independent Republic of Somaliland" is as lawless as it is possible to be. Pirates patrol the waters around the coastline armed with AK-47s and regularly seize craft and hold crews to ransom. Thousands have been killed in the north of the country due to rivalry between criminal factions, while the capital, Mogadishu, is carved up between clans and warlords. Not even well armed US Marine forces are willing to go there. Add ethnic cleansing of 'undesirable elements' to the mix, and you can clearly appreciate why this really is a country where you as a tourist will have to keep your eyes open 100% of the time.

A Baxley man who reported that his wife had been killed in a pre-dawn home invasion Friday is now charged with murder in her death, officials said.
Mandy Courson, a 28-year-old hair salon employee, died in her Corey Street home early Friday morning, Appling County Sheriff Benny Deloach said.
Her husband, Jonathan Courson, a 26-year-old used car salesman, was home at the time of the killing, along with the couple's young daughter.
Courson originally reported to officers that his wife was murdered when two men wearing masked forcibly entered their home in the Oak Ridge subdivision. He said the men tied the couple up and, after two hours of ransacking their home, killed his wife but did not harm him or the child.
Physical evidence collected from the scene tells a different story, DeLoach said.
That led his department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to believe that Courson was responsible and to secure a warrant Tuesday night for his arrest.
A warrant was issued for his arrest Tuesday about 6:30 p.m. About two hours later, his attorney, Deen Strickland, brought him to the Appling County Detention Center to surrender, as had previously been discussed, Deloach said.
His wife's body was sent to the GBI Crime Lab in Savannah along with what GBI Special Agent Russell Mansfield said was a large amount of physical evidence. The body was returned to Baxley on Wednesday.
Her funeral is scheduled for 3 p.m. Thursday at the Baxley Church of God.
Meanwhile, Courson is being held without bail.

Dude can you make the 15+ rule WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ME! COME ON! ASK theoldman53 HOW I PLAY. I DON'T TRASH TALK, OR SAY RACIAL THINGS! COME ON KILLME! PLEASE!
360_rulez10 | #2646 Subject: SEE Posted: 02/03/2006 08:28:50 |
I mailed berg to see if I am allowed in the bee's clan if that rule comes in affect. Well, it looks like you guys don't want people under 15, so I guess I am out. Berg:CVF are taking things a little too seriously. When I started the clan all I wanted was people from my 360 club to have a keeting place so we can all play each other
caesar_god | #2647 Subject: wow Posted: 02/03/2006 08:37:31 |
it seems the pot is boiling with Bee's vs CVF. They're preparing all the ammo needed to kick our asses. I never knew Jmann "switched sides". Very interesting battle we have growing here.
This generation is goin to be awesome!!!! 360_rulez, don't take the age thing personally. It's not against you, but the simple fact that too many people complain like little babies so often it's annoying. If it makes you feel better, I don't think you're one of the people that caused this rule to be in effect. |
The Dark Gam... | #2648 Subject: where the hell is Adam Sandler? Posted: 02/03/2006 08:45:15 |
okay well i'd like to say,thank god for the fact more people have been voting no for the 18 and over and voting yes for the 15 and over.
360_rulez is a great gamer,if the 15 and over rule goes into effect he should be allowed to stay.even though he is only 13 the kid never annoys people or acts stupid.we shouldn't take this clan too seriously cause if we do noone is gonna have fun.so i say let 360_rulez stay.the kid didn't even have his 360 yet and he was already posting in the club of how excited he was when he'd be able to play with the clan.let 360_rulez stay and put the 15 and over rule into effect so that we can keep out the annoying kids. oh and regarding my age I'm 14 right now (friday) but my birthday is on the 7th (tuesday) and i'll be 15 then so i pass the age requirment if it stays at 15. |

killmeifucan... | #2650 Subject: ( a candid post of recent happenings) Posted: 02/03/2006 10:12:21 |
ive been part of clans that required u to have proof of having been in previous clans, referrals, 21+ age limits, mandatory 3+ meets a week, win% requirements in private matches, hit % requirements, i mean there are alot of clans out there that u gotta be leet to even get consideration. all im doing here is just trying to build a structure that will garner some respect. im not saying anyone is the cause of this. i always said that once things get closer to official clan support things would change somewhat. we arent making current members tryout to maintain their status, and im not even saying anyone who doesnt meet our requirements or breaks a rule cant stay in here and game in custom matches. its just official clan matches once they begin will consist of people who fill the requirements based on a laxed criteria set by leet clans. and as far as me not commenting on this earlier, i felt it nessacary to see how people react to change and see how the backbone of the clan really is. i give big kudos to dark gamer, 360 no one likes a begger, i realy hoped u would plead ur cause maturely cause i didnt want to see u go, and game killer seems to not have much interest. there ae many other young members i know, but these are the guys we seem to care about and so far dark gamer is the mot impressive. im not trying to offend anyone, im just speaking candid and honest based on what was asked of me. Regardless of who goes and who stays, i think the club has become stronger and everyone has a better understanding of all the clanmates and what it takes to be in a clan. Im proud of every member.

ROFLMAO! That really cheered me up Job! But even if they don't arrest me now they'll notice that I owe them money in the future. I'm going to try and pay them off month-by-month, instead of paying them all the money right away. That way I can still buy me those pwnerific games coming out. Speaking of which, I really ought to play more often. I don't have a lot of time and the tiny-ass tv in my room doesn't exactly motivate me to play videogames on it.

killmeifucan... | #2664 Subject: here is how u can get the 99 nights demo Posted: 02/13/2006 14:11:20 |
even though it is being only offered to people in asia. go to passport.net and register a hotmail account that has a valid address from japan. u can use google maps or search i suppose to find one. then what u do is create a new profile on ur 360, that ur not scaed of it glitching, and link it to that passport account. then just go to xbox live and make it a silver account so u dont have to pay and can still download the demos. for some reason it is supposed to work and will let u do this for all territories, even europe. probably will be fixed after 99 nights demo comes out and it gets like 2x the downloads it should and MS realises this territory step around but at least u can get a demo to one of the most wanted games. the beauty is that the xbox 360 will still automatically load the account when u turn it on that the gold live account is connected to so u dont have to worry about not being able to get into ur other one. anyways, im sure itll come here one day before the bring it over, but if u dont wanna wait u can try this.

firefox doesnt support the plug in. u gotta have active x to run it i think. firefox doesnt use that, its a microsoft owned plugin. and the people who are on the list but arent in the clan are either friends of mine or someone who was cool and asked to not be taking off when they left the clan. i got alot more people lined up to join once clans get patched into the games officially. and they arent from 1up.

Cuban Jazz Festival
You mention on p 151 that the Havana International Jazz Festival is in mid-February. My travel agent says it is in December. What jazz festival are you referring to?
Love your book on Cuba. Having been there, I find it very informative and factual.
1 Answer
It is indeed in December, there's no official website specifically for the festival at the moment but the following site, though not Cuban, has been running for years and is very reliable: jazzcuba.com
It's a site for people who want to visit the festival from the U.S but it does the job.
(And if you plan a trip to coincide, you might like to know that a new edition of the Rough Guide to Cuba is due out in November).

6 Ways To Protect Your Personal Health Information
But well-informed patients can help drive down those costs. Here are six ways to protect your PHI, said Connie Schweyen, managing principal of healthcare at Verizon, in an interview with InformationWeek Healthcare .
1. Guard Your Personal Information.
Provide insurance identification only to those who offer medical services, and don't let anyone borrow your insurance identification or Medicare card, advised Schweyen. "There's an increase in the number of people approaching Medicare individuals or others, asking to use their medical information so they can go out and purchase medical services," she said. It's an emerging, scheme, she said, that follows an old pattern. "But it's definitely occurring out there because the more vulnerable people in our population are subject to being abused in this way," she said.
[To find out which medical apps doctors and patients are turning to, see 9 Mobile Health Apps Worth A Closer Look. ]
2. Beware "Free" Medical Services.
According to Schweyen, a common fraud scheme has sales people offering medical services or equipment for free, but in exchange for an insurance or Medicare identification number. "There are a couple of different ways people are approached to do this," said Schweyen. "[People] are approaching individuals through the promise of some financial payment to them or coercion to get free services, but they're taking medical information in exchange for promising these services." Often, she continued, victims will end up being signed up for subscription services. "There are so many stories of people who have garages full of diapers or diabetic supplies, and they don't know how to stop the supplies from coming," she said. The supplies arrive free to them, but insurance or government programs are being billed. "It's fraud, waste, and abuse against the medical program it's being billed to," she said.
3. Keep Accurate Medical Records.
Even if your physician uses an electronic healthcare record, as the patient you should keep track of your medical records, said Schweyen. A patient has the option to use a personal health information service or to simply keep a written record of any medical services and medications he has received. "It's the ability to go back and verify your own personal data against what the provider may have recorded," she said. In some instances, Schweyen continued, doctors have fabricated medical record information so they can bill the insurance of a government health program. By documenting your health information as the patient, she said, "you can go in and look at something that may be fabricated," she said. "Sometimes, government investigators come along to look at providers' data, and they can compare it and interview the patient to see what they may have on hand, so [the patient] isn't wrapped up in a fraud investigation inappropriately."
4. Review Your Medical Bills.
Make sure to ask for your bill at the time of your visit, and then check your bill to make sure it compares to the insurer's description of your benefits. This ensures you aren't charged for services you didn't receive or were charged for the same services twice. "Sometimes there's an error, so it's a good thing to check, but in other instances, when you see strange information, you'll want to reach out to your health plan or a hotline to see if it's appropriate," Schweyen continued. Additionally, she said, check that the dates and services match up.
5. Destroy Medical Records Before Throwing Them In The Trash.
It's an obvious tip, but Schweyen said to make sure to shred or rip up any medical documents to stop information from getting into the wrong hands or having your identity stolen. "We get all this medical information, and it can be gone through in dumpsters or garbage cans; medical documents or other bills have identifying information on them," she said.
6. Report Possible Fraud.
"Most people don't know what to do when fraud is determined," said Schweyen. Frequently, health plans have direct fraud help lines. Medicare and Medicaid also have phone numbers established so people can report fraud. "In certain instances, if you're in a provider practice and you see fraud happening, you can be eligible for a whistleblower reward," Schweyen said. "It's always good for people to report fraud to prevent costs from going up and to protect our insurance and health programs from overspending money."
Clinical, patient engagement, and consumer apps promise to re-energize healthcare. Also in the new, all-digital Mobile Power issue of InformationWeek Healthcare: Comparative effectiveness research taps the IT toolbox to compare treatments to determine which ones are most effective.

I never took virtual identify theft seriosly, until it obviously happened to me.its one of those things that you keep hearing about but you won't actually care for because you believe will never happen to you. then my email got hacked, and I got charged big $$. since then i'm SUPER safe and I'm glad to know that there are many tools and apps outthere that can help even the most paranoid. seriously there are apps for fake phone numbers, fake emails, hide my computer IP, hide identity, so much stuff!! for instance this app: http://www.mevvy.com/tools/bur... , it gives me a fake phone number that i can use just for one time and then it disappears! james bond apps for everyone?? :)

Yellow Ribbon Program
What is the Yellow Ribbon Program?
The Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program (Yellow Ribbon Program) is a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. This program allows institutions of higher learning (degree granting institutions) in the United States to voluntarily enter into an agreement with VA to fund tuition expenses that exceed the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition rate. The institution can contribute up to 50% of those expenses and VA will match the same amount as the institution.
The Institution of Higher Learning (IHL) must agree to:
How Does the Yellow Ribbon Program Benefit the Student?
The Post-9/11 GI Bill pays up to the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition. The student's tuition and fees may exceed that amount if they are attending a private institution, graduate school or attending in a out-of-state status. If they are enrolled at a Yellow Ribbon participating institution and the tuition and fees exceed the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition, additional funds may be available for their education program without an additional charge to their entitlement.
Institutions that voluntarily enter into a Yellow Ribbon Agreement with VA choose the amount of tuition and fees that will be contributed. VA will match that amount and issue payment directly to the institution.
Who Is Eligible?
Only individuals entitled to the maximum benefit rate (based on service requirements) may receive this funding. Therefore, they may be eligible if:How will Students Know A School is Participating in the Yellow Ribbon Program?
They must be enrolled in an approved program offered by an IHL.
When Will Benefits under the Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program Be Available?
Benefits are payable for training pursued on or after August 1, 2009. No payments can be made under this program for training pursued before that date.
How Much Money is Payable Under the Yellow Ribbon Program?
Question: What portion of tuition and fees charges will be considered under the Yellow Ribbon Program?
Answer: The difference of the amount charged to the student and what has been paid by VA as educational assistance.
The following steps are provided to determine the difference for one student:
Step 1: Student's enrolled credit hours reported by the institution to the VA x Max Credit Hour Charge for the State = Maximum Tuition Payable
Step 2: Compare the Maximum Tuition Payable with the amount charged the student and VA will pay the institution the lesser amount
Step 3: Compare the Maximum Single Term Fees for your State with what you have charged the student. VA will pay the institution the lesser amount.
Step 4: Add what VA has paid for tuition and fees and compare with total amount charged to the student. Institution charges that exceed what as already been paid by VA are the difference that could be applied to the Yellow Ribbon Program.
Step 5: Determine how much of the difference, up to one-half of that amount, that the institution will agree to cover with funds of the institution and the VA will match that amount.
Example: The student enrolled in 12 credit hours during the Fall term and your institution charged the student $5,000 for tuition and $1,200 in fees. The Maximum Per Credit Hour for the State = $250 and Maximum Fees for a single term = $1,000:
Steps 1 and 2: 12 credit hours x $250 = $3,000 - VA will pay $3,000 of the $5,000 tuition charged
Step 3: VA will pay $1,000 of the $1,200 fees charged
Step 4: VA has paid $4,000 of the $6,200 charged the student. $2,200 could be applied to the Yellow Ribbon Program
Step 5: Your institution can choose to contribute up to $1,100 of this amount and VA will match that contribution.
PLEASE NOTE: The amounts provided by the States on the corresponding table are not for the academic year 2009-2010. Also, the amounts used in the above examples do not relate to any specific State.

Browser-Side Test
From Ajax Patterns
There's an archived version of this pattern available, taken from the Ajax Pattern book draft, showing roughly how it appeared before the page became publicly editable.
Evidence: 1/3
Tags: Automated IntegrationTest Javascript Regression UnitTest TDD Test
Contents | |
Goal Story
Devi is about to embark on upgrade a blog reader and realises she will be working on the Javascript RSS parser. It will need some refactoring, but fortunately there's already a Javascript unit test for it. She proceeds to refactor the parser, ensuring the test still passes, and continues to enhance the test as she builds in further functionality.
How can you test Javascript components?
Tool Support
WebAii (artoftest)
WebAii is a .NET automation library provided for free to the quality assurance and developer community. It is built for Ajax and rich web application automation. Currently supports (IE,FireFox) (more browsers are planned). Plugs-in Visual Studio environment. Also supports a new approach to abstracting markup applications using TestRegions. Use with NUnit or Visual Studio Team Test.
- Commercial from ArtOfTest, Inc. Provided Free of charge.
SWEA (webius)
SWEA automates regression and functional testing for Web applications. The program creates an automation API for any Web application developed with HTML, DHTML or AJAX. The Web application becomes programmatically accessible from any .NET language. SW Explorer Automation Visual Designer records, replays test scripts and generates C# or VB.NET script code which can be used in NUnit or Visual Studio unit tests.
- Commercial from Webius. Provided Free of charge.
The Scriptaculous framework includes a unit-testing framework. It works similarly to the earlier JsUnit frameworks (below) and the nUnit frameworks they are modelled on. A test case is an object containing a sequence of methods beginning with "test", e.g. testStringMatches(), and optional setup() and teardown(). The test is passed to a testrunner object. For each test method, the runner executes setup(), then the test method, then teardown(). The runner updates the UI and reports on the results.
As with many Scriptaculous classes, the Runner object accepts an options argument. A particularly interesting option is resultsURL, which the runner will post results to, a facility that makes automated testing possible as discussed in the Solution.
Scriptaculous also contains some functions that let you simulate mouse and keyboard; see System Test.
Selenium is a browser-side functional test tool for web applications. It includes Selenium IDE, a test record/playback tool, Selenium RC, a tool that lets you write your tests in any programming language (including Java, .NET, Perl, Python and Ruby) and Selenium Core, a "browserbot" automation library.
JsUnit (Hieatt)
Edward Hieatt's JsUnit is a testing framework that supports standard xUnit-like functionality. Each test is actually an HTML page containing the test in a script, and the HTML page is passed as an argument to a test runner page. There's a demo page available.

The Basic Ajax Pattern Reader uses a queue abstraction to represent the playlist. The queue itself was developed with a Scriptaculous test case. The setup method establishes a new queue:
setup: function() { with(this) { q = new Queue(); }}, setup: function() { with(this) {
An initial test method verifies the queue's initial state:
testEmptyQueue: function() { with(this) { assertEqual(0, q.size); var items = q.items(); assertEqual(0, items.length); }},
Subsequent methods examine the queue as it's built up:
testSequence: function() { with(this) { q.admit("first"); q.admit("second"); assertEqual(2, q.size); assert(util.membersEqual(["second","first"], q.items())); ... }},
All of this is embedded an HTML file, which if you visit it, will run the test and report the results. The structure of the HTML file is shown below.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>Queue Test</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <script src="/run/Lib/js/util.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="unittest.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="queue.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="test.css" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> ... <!-- Log output --> <div id="testlog"> </div> <!-- Tests follow --> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" charset="utf-8"> new Test.Unit.Runner({ q: null, setup: function() { with(this) { q = new Queue(); }}, testEmptyQueue: function() { with(this) { assertEqual(0, q.size); var items = q.items(); assertEqual(0, items.length); }}, ... }); </script> </body> </html>

Israel and Hamas agreed to halt eight days of hostilities in a cease-fire that took effect late Wednesday—a deadline that passed with jubilation in the Gaza Strip, fresh reports of rockets fired at Israel, and relief tempered by skepticism among many Israelis over whether the truce would hold.

In a deal announced in Cairo, Egypt Foreign Minister Mohammed Kamel Amr said Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant and political group that rules the Gaza Strip, had agreed to cease hostilities at 9 p.m. local time Wednesday. The international diplomacy effort saw U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fly to the region to support efforts to end more than a week of fighting between Israel and Palestinians in Gaza.

The deal calls for Israel to stop all hostilities in the territory and for all Palestinian factions to stop attacks from the territory, according to a terse text distributed after the announcement. It comes after days of Egyptian mediation between Israelis and the Gaza Strip's Hamas leadership, and calls on Egypt to be the truce's guarantor.
But several analysts characterized the deal as little more than an understanding that leaves many thorny questions unanswered. It leaves open, for example, a core demand by Hamas that Israel lift its blockade of the Gaza Strip and open border crossings. Such issues would be dealt with after the cease-fire has held for 24 hours, the text says.
"Eventually it will collapse like every cease-fire collapses, but the question is how much time it will take for that to happen—a few months or a few years. If it's a few years, it will be a big success,'' said Shlomo Brom, a fellow at Tel Aviv University's Institute for Strategic Studies and a former military planner. "The issue is whether the blow Hamas got is strong enough to deter from not complying with the cease-fire. We don't know yet.''
For Israel, the operation ended with several battlefield achievements. It launched what it said was 1,500 attacks on militant sites, killing several top military foes, while suffering only five fatalities as its Iron Dome missile-defense system shot down incoming rockets at a rate its military said exceeded expectations. It also gained a promise Wednesday that the White House would use the opportunity offered by a cease-fire to intensify efforts to help Israel address its security needs, especially the smuggling of weapons and explosives into Gaza.
The operation came as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is two months away from a general election, and any collapse in the cease fire threatens to undermine his strong standing in the polls. In a radio address confirming the deal, Mr. Netanyahu appeared to speak to those who had called for a harder line against Hamas.

Hillary Clinton's emergency trip to the Middle East is an attempt to end escalating violence between Israel and Palestinians on the Gaza Strip. The WSJ's Middle East correspondent Sam Dagher explains why Egypt's new government is complicating the conflict.
A diplomatic push to end Israel's nearly weeklong offensive in the Gaza Strip gained momentum Tuesday. Matt Bradley has details on The News Hub. Photo: AP.
After a bomb detonated on board a bus in downtown Tel Aviv, police kept onlookers and the media back while they investigated. WSJ's Joshua Mitnick reports via #WorldStream.
"It's worthwhile to give a chance to the cease-fire, and that's to try to calm the situation, and to allow Israeli citizens to return to their routine lives,'' Mr. Netanyahu said in a radio address Wednesday.
"I understand that there are civilians who expected a more severe military response," he said. His address, which came less than 30 minutes before the cease-fire was to have taken hold, was cut off by a radio announcer sounding an alert of incoming rockets.
An Israeli police spokesman said Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip launched 12 rockets into Israel during the hour after a cease-fire was announced, Reuters reported, saying they had caused no damage.
The eighth day of fighting between Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, and Israel yielded a total death toll of 170 Palestinians with over 1,000 injured, according to Ma'an, the official Palestinian state news agency. Among the last were two Palestinians killed by Israeli missiles just as the cease-fire was announced. Overnight, seven or eight Israeli missiles leveled the Abu Khadra office compound, which houses the Hamas Interior Ministry.

Hamas's leader, Khaled Meshaal, hailed Wednesday's outcome.
"They aimed to deter our people but they failed because free people can't be deterred," he said in Cairo. "This is a round that will follow by more rounds; the victory brings victory and the defeat brings defeat, and Israel has been defeated in Gaza twice."
In Gaza City, news of the cease-fire sent young men pouring into the street, waving the green flags of Hamas and shooting AK-47s into the air. Empty streets slowly filled with cars and pedestrians. Lights that had been extinguished amid Israeli bombing raids flashed on again.
"This is a victory for all the Muslims, all the Arabs, and all the people of Gaza," said Osama Rashid, a lieutenant in the Hamas-led Gaza police who was watching the celebrants outside Gaza City's Shifa hospital. "Of course the conditions of the deal are good, they are good for the resistance."
The conflict had exploded last week when Israel retaliated against Hamas rocket attacks, launching a day of strikes that knocked out several rocket-launch sites and killed Hamas's top military commander.
The cease-fire appears to mark a resurgent moment for Hamas, the Islamist group that has governed the Gaza Strip since it wrested control from its secular rivals, Fatah, in 2007. The weeklong fighting allowed Hamas to argue to the Palestinian public that the militant group can govern while waging an armed fight against Israel, two competing political imperatives that until this week had seemed to be at odds. Whether those two imperatives can be squared in the longer term will be sorely tested as Hamas tries to achieve its objective of convincing Israel to ease its blockade on the Gaza Strip.
Another initial beneficiary appeared to be Egypt, which had worked for days attempting to broker the deal between Israel and Hamas. Under the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists, analysts said, Egypt showed it could openly take the side of Hamas, an ideological affiliate, while also continuing to honor their peace commitments to Israel and play their historic role of mediator between the Palestinians and Israelis.
The understanding between Israel and Hamas was a crucial example of the new Egyptian government and the U.S. working together, said officials involved in the diplomacy.
Mr. Morsi's government took the lead in the negotiations, with the president's office dealing directly with Hamas and Egypt's intelligence services communicating with Israel. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Clinton aggressively played a role in keeping both Israeli and Arab governments focused in completing a deal as well, said these officials.
Mr. Obama talked to Mr. Morsi four times over the past week. Mrs. Clinton, meanwhile, was camped out at the Egyptian president's office, staying in Cairo four hours longer than expected, to make sure the deal was done.
"We were pleased of the role Egypt played," said an Israeli official. "And the Americans supported us all the way through the crisis."

"Egypt's new government is assuming the responsibility and leadership that has long made this country a cornerstone of regional stability and peace," Mrs. Clinton said in Cairo, standing alongside Mr. Amr, just after the deal was announced.
The U.K., too, welcomed the agreement and called for more open access to and from Gaza for trade and humanitarian assistance, and an end to weapons smuggling. "The loss of life over the past week has shown the urgent need for a return to negotiations on a two-state solution to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," said U.K. Foreign Secretary William Hague.
In the hours after the cease-fire, Israel Radio aired frustrated and critical reactions from Israeli residents, who were dubious that the cease-fire would endure.
"If we knew that this quiet is definite, the whole nation would be happy,'' a listener who identified himself as Edmund Ozen, a Beersheva resident and supporter of Mr. Netanyahu's Likud Party, said on Israel Radio. "We didn't refurbish our power of deterrence, it seems like we lost it. It looks like a tactical move. …The feeling is they left 1 million ducks under a daily firing range."
Many Israelis had also, however, feared the losses of soldiers in a potential ground offensive.
Though the language of the cease-fire is vague, it reflects a confluence of Palestinian and Israeli interests regarding Egypt's involvement in the Gazan affairs, said Mkhaimar Abusada, a professor of political science at Al Azhar University in the Gaza Strip.
While Israel would like for Egypt to assume more responsibility for Gazan security, Hamas hopes to open an economic portal along its border with Egypt to avoid the 15% Israeli tariffs on goods imported into the Gaza Strip—a tariff that Israel eventually distributes to the Ramallah-based Palestinian authority.
"That's why Hamas doesn't care if Israel opens the border to Gaza," Mr. Abusada said. "Hamas wants a commercial crossing with Egypt...which would allow Hamas to become financially independent."
Earlier Wednesday, before the cease-fire was announced, an explosion tore through a Tel Aviv commuter bus in the first apparent terrorist bombing there in six years.
The blast, which left more than 20 people injured, took place across the street from the headquarters of the Israeli military, ratcheting up pressure on Mr. Netanyahu to extend Israel's eight-day air and sea bombardment.
Initial reports on Israel Radio said the explosion was caused by a bomb thrown onto the bus. A small Damascus-based militant group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, claimed responsibility but offered no evidence to back up the claim, the AP said. Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, praised the attack.

We all watch sci-fi films and marvel at the hi-tech gadgets, vehicles and weaponry. We watch them and think to ourselves, 'I wish that were real', or 'They should definitely make one of those; I'd buy it'. Most sci-fi films seem to be set in the future; so the explanation as to how the technology works is avoided by the assumption that technology will be very advanced by the year 2300... But what if we're already here? What if we don't have to wait another 287 years?
Hundreds of employees from across the country gathered at St James' Park to celebrate TSG's 10th anniversary.
Festivities included an exclusive walk from the players' entrance through the famous tunnel to echoes of Local Hero, a mascots race and childhood memories with table football, racing simulators, a huge Scalextric track and a life size version of the board game 'Operation'.

LTTE guns down and hangs fleeing civilians |
Wednesday, 07 January 2009 | |
LTTE has threatened civilians in the areas still held by it with death as traitors if any attempt made to flee. To prove they are serious of this threat they have displayed bodies of 3 civilians near the Ponnambalam hospital. The bodies were hanged on posts that had banners stating "Fate of traitors', according to civilians, who have managed to escape and are now in IDP welfare centres at Vavuniya and Welioya These civilians were killed by LTTE death squads, and dragged in public a long way before being mutilated and displayed, the sources said. Meanwhile, the rising agitation against LTTE dictatorship has resulted in a few confrontations between civilians and LTTE operatives. This revelation of the scale of atrocities perpetrated by the LTTE, leaving over hundreds suffocating under its tyranny in the non-liberated areas at the Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu districts, was made by civilians who spoke to our Wanni correspondent on a visit made to IDP welfare centres at Vavuniya and Welioya. Human suffering in the non-liberated areas is escalating at an unprecedented scale with LTTE terrorists tightening its grip over the stranded civilians, state independent reports from the welfare centres in Vavuniya and Welioya say. Despite these threats, hundreds of civilians from Mullaittiuvu, Puthukkudiyiruppu and Visvamadu areas have fled and sought protection with security forces during the past few days. A group of 35 civilians from Ananda-Puliyankulam area were surrounded and severely beaten by an LTTE-led mob near the Sambankulama junction last December, a civilian said. The terrorists had assaulted the people including women and the elderly, killing two people and dragging away the rest whose fate is yet to be known, our sources said, citing the civilians. It will be recalled that when the LTTTE was beginning its terrorist activities in the 1980s, it used similar public killings and lamp-post hangings of those who were opposed to it in the Jaffna peninsula. Some analysts say the terrorist group is now going back to such practices as civilian opposition to it rises. The LTTE is a ruthless terrorist outfit that has been engaged in a bloody terrorist campaign against the citizens of Sri Lanka since 1983. Led by a psychopathic chief, the outfit has been trying to establish an ethnically pure Tamil state on the Sri Lankan soil. The LTTE is also the first terrorist outfit to use suicide bombers, and to develop naval and aerial fighting capability. The outfit is listed in the UN list of shame for using child soldiers and is banned in many countries in the world. Courtesy: defence.lk |
