Recommendations to prevent the spread of vancomycin resistance have been in place since 1995 and include guidelines for inpatient pediatric use of vancomycin. The emergence of large databases allows us to describe variation in pediatric vancomycin across hospitals. We analyzed a database with hospitalizations for children under 18 at 421 hospitals in 2008.
The Premier hospital 2008 database, consisting of records for 877,201 pediatric hospitalizations in 421 hospitals, was analyzed. Stratified analyses and logistic mixed effects models were used to calculate the probability of vancomycin use while considering random effects of hospital variation, hospital fixed effects and patient effects, and the hierarchical structure of the data. Most hospitals (221) had fewer than 10 hospitalizations with vancomycin use in the study period, and 47 hospitals reported no vancomycin use in 17,271 pediatric hospitalizations. At the other end of the continuum, 21 hospitals (5.6% of hospitals) each had over 200 hospitalizations with vancomycin use, and together, accounted for more than 50% of the pediatric hospitalizations with vancomycin use. The mixed effects modeling showed hospital variation in the probability of vancomycin use that was statistically significant after controlling for teaching status, urban or rural location, size, region of the country, patient ethnic group, payor status, and APR-mortality and severity codes.
The number and percentage of pediatric hospitalizations with vancomycin use varied greatly across hospitals and was not explained by hospital or patient characteristics in our logistic models. Public health efforts to reduce vancomycin use should be intensified at hospitals with highest use.
Vancomycin is indicated for the treatment of serious or severe infections caused by susceptible strains of methicillin-resistant (beta-lactam-resistant) staphylococci. It is indicated for patients who cannot receive or who have failed to respond to other drugs, including the penicillins or cephalosporins, and for infections caused by vancomycin-susceptible organisms that are resistant to other antimicrobial drugs. Because of concerns about the development of drug-resistant bacteria, vancomycin should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. Recommendations to prevent the spread of vancomycin resistance have been in place since 1995 and include guidelines for inpatient pediatric use of vancomycin [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7].
In 1999 Shah and colleagues described vancomycin use in one hospital's pediatric neurosurgery unit and noted vancomycin was used primarily for prophylaxis and was inconsistent with the Hospital Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee recommendations [8]. Hopkins and colleagues evaluated use in one hospital's pediatric hematology-oncology unit, and concluded that 100% of the use was not consistent with CDC recommendations [9]. Keyserling and colleagues (2003) studied 22 hospitals belonging to the Pediatric Prevention Network (PPN) [10]. They described series of 25 patients receiving vancomycin at each hospital, and surveyed the physicians who prescribed the vancomycin. They did not categorize adherence to guidelines, but noted general patterns of use such as the low percentage (7%) with laboratory-confirmed β-lactam-resistant organisms isolated at the time vancomycin was prescribed, or the association of vancomycin use with presence of indwelling vascular catheters. Bolon and colleagues evaluated vancomycin use in children older than 1 year at a pediatric tertiary care medical center in 2000 and 2001 [11]. They developed algorithms to evaluate whether use was appropriate, and concluded that 35% of the initial courses were inappropriate. Patel and colleagues studied the medical records of 200 neonates born after Septermber 2005 at 4 tertiary care (NICUs) and concluded that 32% of the days of vancomycin use were inappropriate and non-adherent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 12 Step Campaign to Prevent Antimicrobial Resistance [3], [12]. They noted non-adherence to steps 4 (Target the pathogen) and 8 (Treat infection, not contamination or colonization). Other studies have described use, but have not assessed guideline adherence [13], [14]. The emergence of large multi-hospital databases in the past decade offers new opportunities to study patterns of vancomycin use across hospitals. In this study, we analyzed a large database and describe variation in pediatric vancomycin use in all children under 18 hospitalized at 421 hospitals in 2008.
We analyzed vancomycin use occurring in pediatric hospitalizations in 2008 using the Premier hospital database, a large US hospital-based, service-level, all-payer database, containing information from primarily non-profit, non-governmental, community and teaching hospitals and health systems [15]. Detailed service level information was available for each hospital day and included medication information and central supplies. Patient information collected included, but was not limited to, patient demographics (age, gender, race/ethnicity), principal and secondary diagnoses, principal and secondary procedures, payor, length of stay, cost of care, drug utilization, department cost and charge detail, day-of-stay data, and physician specialty. In addition to the service-level data recorded in most standard hospital discharge files, the database provided a daily log of all billed items, including procedures, medications, laboratory tests and diagnostic and therapeutic services, at the individual patient level. Hospitals were self-selected, choosing to provide their own data to Premier as part of agreements by which they received access to analytic tools developed and offered by Premier. In the study year, 2008 423 hospitals participated (99.1% with pediatric hospitalizations). Data were entered into a hospital's core information system, fed into their decision support system (DSS), then sent to Premier on a monthly or quarterly basis via a secure FTP site. Upon receiving data from participating hospitals, Premier undertook an extensive seven phase data validation and correction process that included more than 95 quality assurance checks. Deidentified data were extracted and used for statistical analysis. The study proposal was approved by the University of Rhode Island Institutional Review Board and informed consent requirements were waived, as permitted under 45 CFR 46.116(c) or (d).
We calculated the number of unique hospitalizations with any use of vancomycin and estimated the prevalence of vancomycin use (number of hospitalizations with documentation of any vancomycin use per 100 hospitalizations). We also estimated the percentages vancomycin use in children over and under 1 year of age, and the percentages of hospitalizations with use longer than 3 days duration. Patient characteristics were: age in years, gender, race (White, African-American, other), and type of insurance (private, government or none). Hospital characteristics were size (small, medium, large), teaching or non-teaching, urban or rural, and region of the country (Northeast, Midwest, South and West, as defined by the US Census).
Logistic mixed effects modeling with two levels of hierarchy (hospital and patient) were used to calculate the probability of vancomycin use while considering the random effects of hospital variation, as well as hospital fixed effects and patient effects. In our models we included the 3 M™ All Patient Refined Diagnosis Related Groups (APR DRGs) severity and mortality (as 4 level, ordered categories), and International Classification of Diseases –9th Revision – Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) Group Codes. The 3 M™ APR DRGs expand the basic DRG structure and address patient differences relating to severity of illness and risk of mortality [16]. Severity of illness was defined as the extent of physiologic decompensation or organ system loss of function. Risk of mortality was defined as the likelihood of dying. The SAS procedure, GLIMMIX was run using the events/trial syntax to maintain the hierarchical structure of the data [17], [18], [19]. Models were run in subsets of hospitalizations, for children under 1 year of age, and further separated by ICD-9 Group Codes. Plots of odds ratios were produced using SAS Graphics [20]. All statistical analyses were conducted using SAS 9.2 [21].
The dataset contained records for 877,201 hospitalizations of children under 18 at time of admission with 50,879 (5.8%) being repeat admissions. The study population was 50.9% male and 49.1% female, 48.5% white, 16.1% African-American, 12.2% Hispanic, 3.6% Asian/Pacific Islander, 18.7% other and less than 1% American Indian. The average length of stay was 3.7 days (median 2 days, interquartile range 2–3 days). Private insurance paid for 46.2% of the hospital stays, government paid for 45.9% and self-pay, no charge or other sources accounted for 7.9% of the hospital stays. Most of the hospitalizations took place in urban areas (89.2%) compared to rural areas (10.8%).
We validated the Premier sample of hospitalizations by comparing characteristics of the sample to the HCUP KID sample of pediatric hospitalizations for 2006 and details of the validation are available in a previous publication (Lasky et al., 2011). The Premier sample included a greater proportion of infants born in the hospital, from Southern hospitals, from non-teaching hospitals, and from large size hospitals compared to the HCUP KID sample. The two samples were similar with regards to proportions male, routine discharge status, APR-DRGs severity and proportions urban. We did not compare the proportions of different racial and ethnic groups in Premier to the KID because of well documented limitations in racial and ethnic data within the KID, high rates of missing data resulting from state differences in collection and reporting of race and ethnicity. Vancomycin was administered in 19,775 hospitalizations, or 2.3% of 877,201 pediatric hospitalizations in the database in 2008. In 98% of cases, vancomycin was administered parenterally or "other" (this includes ophthalmic solutions, intraocular/intravitreal injections, catheter flushes, inhalation formulations, rectal formulations and topical gels compounded by pharmacy) and in less than 2% of cases, vancomycin was administered orally. Half (10,033 or 50.7%) of the courses of vancomycin were less than 3 days duration. Males had higher prevalence of use than did females (2.5%, 95% CI 2.5–2.6 compared to 2.0%, 95% CI 2.0–2.0), African-Americans had higher use than did whites or other groups (3.1%, 95% CI 3.0–3.2, 2.3%, 95% CI 2.3–2.4 and 1.8%, 95% CI 1.8–1.9 respectively), and children in the age groups 2–4 and 5–11 had higher prevalence compared to children under 2, or children age 12–17 (6.8%, 95% CI 6.5–7.1, 6.6%, 95% CI 6.4–6.8, 1.5%, 95% CI 1.5–1.5, and 4.3%, 95% 4.2–4.4). The greatest number of hospitalizations with vancomycin use occurred to children under 2 (10,282 or 52% of hospitalizations), however the highest prevalence of use occurred in children age 2–4, and 5–11 (Figure 1). Children age 2–4 were 4.5 times more likely, children 5–11 were 4.4 times more likely, and children 12–17 were 2.9 times more likely to receive vancomycin compared to children under 2. In hospitalizations of children under one year with vancomycin use, the four most frequent ICD-9 group diagnoses were: "Liveborn infants according to type of birth" (ICD-9-CM V30–39) (51.83%), "Other conditions originating in the perinatal period" (ICD-9-CM 760–779) (14.29%), "Infections of skin and subcutaneous tissue" (ICD-9-CM 680–709) (6.07%), and "Congenital anomalies" (5.91%) (ICD-9-CM 740–759). In children age 1 or over, the four most frequent diagnoses were: "Infections of skin and subcutaneous tissue" (23.32%), "Pneumonia and influenza", (9.41%) (ICD-9-CM 480–488), "Complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classifiable" (7.58%) (ICD-9-CM 996–999), and "Other bacterial diseases" (4.41%) (030–041).
Vancomycin was administered to children at 374 hospitals in the Premier hospital database; another 47 hospitals with 17,271 pediatric hospitalizations (13,233 under age 2) reported no vancomycin use during 2008. The number of hospitalizations with vancomycin use ranged from 0 to 1225 at individual hospitals, and percentage of hospitalizations with vancomycin use ranged from 0.0% to 33.3%. Twenty one hospitals (5.6%) had more than 200 hospitalizations with vancomycin use, accounting for 9,979 (50%) of the pediatric hospitalizations with vancomycin use. Because of the skewness in distribution of vancomycin use, we stratified hospitals by number of hospitalizations with vancomycin use. Low volume was defined as 0 to 10, medium volume as 11–100, and high volume as over 100. Most hospitals were categorized as low volume (221 hospitals), 155 hospitals were categorized as medium volume, and 45 hospitals categorized as high volume. Within high volume hospitals, percentage of hospitalizations with vancomycin use ranged from 1.3–12.9 (mean percentage was 4.6, 95% CI=3.9–5.4). Within medium volume hospitals, percentage of hospitalizations with vancomycin use ranged from 0.3 to 9.5 (mean percentage was 1.7, 95% CI=1.5–1.9). The hospitals with high volume of vancomycin use were predominantly large (73.3%), teaching (68.9%), and urban (97.8%) compared to the hospitals with low volume of vancomycin use, which were 45.7% large, 19.91% teaching, and 74.21% urban, and 95% Confidence Intervals of estimates generally did not overlap. In 2008, 47 hospitals, or 11.16% of the hospitals in the database, reported no vancomycin use in the entire year.
The logistic mixed effects modeling showed hospital variation in vancomycin use. The estimated variance of the random effects hospital intercepts for models run for children under 1, and for the four most frequent ICD-9 Code Groups are summarized in Table 1. The intercept estimates and the 95% Confidence Bounds for each model do not include zero, indicating hospital variation that is statistically significant after controlling for the other variables in the model. The lower limits of the 95 percent confidence intervals are above zero, indicating statistically significant variability in the use of vancomycin depending on the hospital in which a patient was treated.
The Odds Ratios for hospital and patient fixed effects for two of the models are plotted in Figures 2 and and3.3. Variables associated with vancomycin use were different in each of the age and ICD groups. For example, in children under 1 year with ICD-9 group "Liveborn infants according to type of birth" increased APR-DRG severity of illness was associated with over 6 times the use of vancomycin, but in children under 1 year with ICD-9 group "Infections of skin and subcutaneous tissue" use of vancomycin was almost 2 times as frequent in children with increased APR-DRG severity (although the 95%CI slightly overlapped 1). Both models showed an association between increased APR-DRG severity of illness and vancomycin use, but the magnitude of the effect differed greatly in the two patient groups. Another example is the effect of rural vs. urban status of the hospital. Rural or urban status of the hospital was statistically significant in predicting vancomycin use in children under 1 year with ICD-9 group "Liveborn infants according to type of birth" and with ICD-9 group "Infections of skin and subcutaneous tissue", but the direction of the effect was different in each group of patients. For children under 1 year with ICD-9 group "Liveborn infants according to type of birth" rural hospitals had lower vancomycin use than did urban hospitals, but for children under 1 year with ICD-9 group "Infections of skin and subcutaneous tissue" rural hospitals had higher vancomycin use than did urban hospitals. Another example can be seen with patient's insurance coverage. In children under 1 year with ICD-9 group "Liveborn infants according to type of birth" those with government insurance had slightly higher vancomycin use than did those with private insurance, and those with no insurance had less vancomycin use than those with private insurance. In children under 1 year with ICD-9 group "Infections of skin and subcutaneous tissue" insurance coverage was not associated with vancomycin use.
Most hospitals (221) had fewer than 10 hospitalizations with vancomycin use in the study period, and 47 hospitals reported no vancomycin use in 17,271 pediatric hospitalizations. At the other end of the continuum, 21 hospitals (5.6% of hospitals) each had over 200 hospitalizations with vancomycin use, and together, accounted for more than 50% of the pediatric hospitalizations with vancomycin use. Percentage of hospitalizations with vancomycin use ranged up to 33.3% when hospitals with few pediatric hospitalizations were kept in the sample, and for this reason, percentage, by itself, may not be a useful indicator in small hospitals. In hospitals with more than 100 hospitalizations with vancomycin use, the percentage with vancomycin use ranged from 1.26 to 12.90, a 10 fold range in the probability of vancomycin use. Without knowing how percentage correlates with inappropriate use, one might begin by evaluating vancomycin use in hospitals with greater than 100 hospitalizations with vancomycin use and greater than 4 or 5% of hospitalizations having vancomycin. The two measures, absolute number of hospitalizations and percentage of hospitalizations with vancomycin use, can be used to identify and target hospitals for evaluation and potential interventions.
The limitations of the study include those inherent in secondary analysis of large databases. In this database, the ICD-9 code referred to the entire hospitalization rather than the indication for medication use, and we were unable to analyze the relationship between Methicillen-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) occurrence and vancomycin use. The Premier database codes for MRSA changed during 2008 and future analyses will be able to describe MRSA variation. Although we could not analyze the data from our study year, 2008, a preliminary analysis of 2011 data showed MRSA codes in only 9.6% of hospitalizations with vancomycin use. Future analyses whether this is explained by undercoding MRSA, inappropriate use of vancomycin, or some other difference.
The definition of vancomycin use as any use during the hospital stay is both a weakness and a strength. It does not permit analysis of dose or duration which will be of interest in future studies, but it does permit estimates of percentages of hospitalized children exposed to vancomycin use. This is of interest when planning clinical studies, comparative effectiveness research, policy and labeling priorities, and other issues. The percentage (or prevalence) may provide a different perspective than that developed as a result of using numerator data only. For example, Keyserling and colleagues (2003) tabulated vancomycin courses and identified the largest number as occurring in neonatology services, and then suggested that neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) improve their vancomycin use [10]. We also found the highest number of uses in children under 2 years of age, but the lowest probability of use in children under 2 years of age (1.5%) compared to other age groups (4.3–6.8%). This may reflect the large number of healthy newborns in databases and programs to measure use of vancomycin in neonates will need to define a denominator, in addition to measuring the numerator, as is currently done.
The stratified analysis and the logistic modeling consistently document variation in vancomycin use by individual hospital, after considering independent effects of hospital and patient characteristics. The mixed models allowed us to estimate variation in the use of vancomycin by hospital in children with the same ICD-9 group codes. The intercepts measure the differences between hospitals, controlling for other effects in the model such as hospital and patient characteristics [18]. For every ICD-9 Group modeled, hospital-to-hospital variation and 95% Confidence Bounds of the intercept excluded zero, after controlling for hospital and patient effects.
Until recently, few studies have compared antibiotic use across large numbers of hospitals or geography, however the establishment of the National Healthcare Safety Network by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will allow regular comparisons across hospitals [22]. Geographic variation in use of antibiotics has also recently been documented in the United States [23].
The analyses presented here are also a step forward in studying pediatric hospital variation; previous researchers have used hierarchical models to consider hospital variation in adults, for example by studying maternity length of stay or mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) [18], [24]. Hospital variation in care of adults has been studied for several decades, much of it made possible by large Medicare claims databases [25]. Only recently have aggregated data for pediatric hospitalizations been available. Bowman and colleagues (2005) recently demonstrated variation in management of pediatric splenic injuries and Weiss et al (2009) have demonstrated variation in use of corticosteroids, opioids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, diagnostic imaging, and renal biopsy in children with Henoch Schönlein purpura [26], [27]. The public health implications of these data are that efforts to control vancomycin use may be channeledo hospitals with high numbers and prevalence of vancomycin use. While it seems intuitive that high prevalence will lead to high volume, and vice versa, some high volume hospitals maintain a prevalence below 3 per cent, while others range above 7 percent, almost to 13 percent. Presently, the message to reduce vancomycin use is broadcast to the entire healthcare community [2], [28]. General principles of judicious antibiotic use are applicable to all hospitals and providers for all antibiotics, and these data may be used to channel intensive stewardship activities and intervention research data to hospitals with the highest volume and prevalence of vancomycin use.
While the Premier hospital database contains information about presence or absence of laboratory testing, it does not include information about test results. Future research relating vancomycin use to laboratory test results may need to budget for and obtain access to hospital charts or to laboratory-based infection surveillance data. We restricted the current analysis to one year, 2008; access to other years of data would permit assessment of trends over the last several years. Finally, further study may prepare the way for comparative effectiveness research, by identifying and comparing children with similar conditions treated with and without vancomycin, and relating the treatment patterns to outcomes.
Our key findings include the skewness of the distribution of vancomycin use throughout hospitals, the importance of denominator data in assessing vancomycin use, and hospital variation in vancomycin use, not explained by hospital or patient characteristics including: bed size, teaching status, region of the country, rural or urban geography, and patient sex, race, APR-DRG risk of mortality and APR-DRG severity of illness.

To help companies increase the safety of their Windows users' web browsing from malicious code, including restricting direct and cross-site access to dangerous or inappropriate websites, Dell KACE has introduced the Dell KACE Secure Browser, available immediately as a free download.
The Dell KACE Secure Browser consists of a browser -- currently, FireFox 3.6 -- plus plug-ins -- currently, Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader -- plus proprietary Dell KACE "Virtual Kontainer" application virtualization technology developed as part of the company's K1000, all packaged into one download that uses a standard Windows installer.
"The instance of the browser is virtualized," says Rob Meinhardt, President, Dell KACE. "A process may think it is writing to the system, but that doesn't happen."
Dell KACE Secure Browser aims to proactively contain threats before they become a problem. "The UI includes a 'click and undo' for whatever's happened," says Meinhardt.
The initial release is for 32-bit versions of Windows 7, Vista and XP supports the FireFox browser. "We chose FireFox as the best fit for the verticals that our products play in, and FireFox's Open-Source was a good fit for working with -- MSIE is a black box, FireFox lets us see inside." But, Meinhardt adds, "We do intend to support Microsoft Internet Explorer. We will probably start with Internet Explorer 6, since, as a virtual instance, you could run it on Vista or on Windows 7."
According to Meinhardt, downloads do get written to the system disk. "The download isn't contained, but if it were executed, you'd get the process start prompt," says Meinhardt, "And if run from the secure browser, activity would be contained in the secure space." (Hopefully, the user's system will have separate security that will automatically scan any such downloads before trying being accessed other than by Secure Browser...)
Users can update FireFox and the reader plug-ins, as well as install their own plug-ins and extensions, such as NoScript. "Users can update their own instance, and we will release new installers with the latest version of FireFox," says Meinhardt.
The Secure Browser can also allow/disallow programs being invoked by a web page. "If the browser wants to start up a process, like Windows Media Player, it will ask for permission," says Meinhardt. "You say tell it, Always, Now, or Never."
Currently, resetting the Secure Browser restores it to the original state, on an "all or none" basis -- including losing any bookmarks and other settings. "We intend to provide a way to install to your own state, and to exclude things from a reset," says Meinhardt.
The new tool is intended to work in concert with a Dell KACE Dell KACE K1000 Management Appliance on the user's network, which provides the company with network-wide capabilities. However, the Secure Browser does not require a K1000 to be used as a virtualized browsing environment.
Using a K1000, IT can remotely reset or kill a Secure Browser session, and create whitelisting and blacklisting for URLs. "If a permitted site is infected with a cross-site scripting exploit, whatever is on those non-whitelisted sites won't run," says Meinhardt.
According to Meinhardt, the K1000 is intended for use in companies with anywhere from 100 to 10,000 people. "Most of these users are in the mid-100's to mid-thousands of users," says Meinhardt. (MSRP for a K1000 starts at just under $9,000, for use with up to 100 users.)
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Books are like meals for me; some are light and tasty, but eventually I hunger for something more substantial. Others are "stick-to-your-ribs;" you feel satisfied afterward, and you remember it for a long time. Janne Teller's Nothing is a full meal deal. I have not been able to stop talking about it since I read it (twice) before writing this review. Nothing is ready-made for book club or classroom discussions, and it's guaranteed to provide (forgive me) food for thought long after you have finished reading.
The story centers on a group of 13 and 14 year old classmates struggling with what to do when one of them, Pierre, suddenly declares that "life is meaningless," and promptly climbs a plum tree. From there, he spends his days mocking his friends for their insistence on participating in the world in the face of its meaninglessness, and their inevitable demise. His stance, at ...
Age recommendation: Nothing is marketed as a Young Adult book (12 and up). The philosophical dimensions of the story might be over the heads of some young readers, and the novel contains episodes of intense violence that could be upsetting for any age. Still, I would consider it a wonderful choice for high school students, and possibly for mature-minded middle school readers. It would present an excellent opportunity for a multi-faceted discussion in classrooms, or at home.

Korean Won Nears 1-Year High as U.S. Data Spur Demand
South Korea's won climbed toward an almost one-year high and government bonds fell as consumer data from the U.S. supported demand for riskier assets.
Retail sales increased 1.1 percent in the world's largest economy last month, beating the 0.8 percent gain forecast in a Bloomberg survey, figures showed yesterday. The Kospi index rose the most in a month even as overseas investors sold more local shares than they bought for a fourth day. The Bloomberg-JPMorgan Asia Dollar Index, which tracks the region's 10 most-active currencies outside Japan, rose to the highest level since March.
"The U.S. data was positive and demand for safer assets has weakened," said Han Sung Min, a Seoul-based currency trader for Busan Bank. "I expect the won's appreciation trend to continue."
The won advanced 0.3 percent to 1,107.19 per dollar at the close in Seoul, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The currency touched 1,106.13 earlier, the strongest level since 0ct. 31, 2011. One-month implied volatility, a measure of exchange-rate swings used to price options, slipped 36 basis points, or 0.36 percentage point, to 5.79 percent.
The yield on the 3.25 percent notes due June 2015 climbed one basis point to 2.78 percent, Korea Exchange Inc. prices show. The one-year interest-rate swap rose four basis points to 2.82 percent.

A room with ants! We found four ants on the kitchen table. An ant on the bathroom floor and an ant on the bathtub. The fitted bedsheet had a dirty black stain on it. We had to sleep on top of the flat bedsheet. Found dried tissue inside the pillow case. A stain on the rug. No shampoo (had to ask for it at the office front desk) or lotion. Just two bars of soap. Bathroom sink is broken and clogged. one of the towels was yellowish and dirty. Bed was hard. Poor customer service. The lady behind the office front desk had an attitude and threw us the shampoo when we asked. It was very hard finding our room. They need arrows on the buildings to point us to a direction where the rooms are. We wasted time and energy looki ng for our room from a long tiredsome trip. So if for example your room is 211. The 2 doesn't stand for second floor. It stands for second building. Odd numbered rooms are on one side of the building. I highly don't recommend such a place.

Lift count : 6 x Chairlifts 11 x Drag-lifts
42km of pistes
Hemsedal has the claim of being the most photographed resort by the snowboarding press, and is no stranger to snowboarding having hosted major events for years including the Artic Challenge in 2001, and as a result has been attracting riders of all ages for years, especially freestylers. Its height, location and use of snow cannons all help to ensure a good snow record and a long season. The slopes lie about 3 kilometres from the main town and are reached by a free shuttle bus. The terrain will appeal to all standards, with 40 kilometres of well prepared piste for freeriders to carve up as well as being ideal for beginners. Freestylers will get to enjoy one of the best parks in Europe, and theres a load of good accesible back country routes. The runs are serviced by a good lift system which, unlike some neighbouring resorts, is not all drag lifts. Theres night riding for most of the season during the week until 9pm.

We were there for a soccer camp and the hotel is just minutes away from campus so very convenient. The hotel was busy simply because it was the summer and it's a place to stop on the way to the beach so the breakfast was jammed. However, there seemed to be enough food and all for everyone. The coffee station was a little packed but if you were patient, the wait was just minutes. The staff was great, the room was clean and cool for the summer....one negative was our sink wouldn't drain without something underneath the plug to hold it open....Other than that, all was great!

Frank Carrone
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (October 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Francesco Carrone, also known as "Buzzy" or "Buzz", was an Italian-American Gambino crime family associate (1938 - 1975 Walpole, Massachusetts). He was a close friend of Thomas Agro and Peter Calabrese.
Born in the Little Italy section of Manhattan, Carrone allegedly earned the nickname "Buzz" from his psychotic behavior and violent temper. Frank joined the Gambino family as an associate, working under capo Thomas Agro and later capo Carmine Fatico in the Bergin Hunt and Fish Club crew. He was involved in bank robbery and hijacking as a "stick up man". Carrone also trafficked small shipments of cocaine, marijuana and Quaaludes in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Fellow crew member Joseph Ianuzzi described Carrone before his terrifying disfigurement as "a tall and handsome Italian" mobster. Before his disfigurement, Carrone suffered from narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder. After his mauling, Carrone's condition was made worse by a severe case of posttraumatic stress disorder.
Receiving facial disfigurement[edit]
His right eye was gouged or shot out leaving him with a slightly demented look on his face from the severed nerve endings and paralyzed facial muscles with an empty right eye socket and a demented expression on his face, giving the impression half of his face was smiling. It is unclear how or who was responsible for Carrone losing his eye, if it was involving La Cosa Nostra matters or if it was accidental. This ultimately made the once handsome and youthful Carrone, once known for his stunning good looks stand out in a crowd with his horrible ghastly disfigurement. It is also unknown if the horrible accident caused Carrone to suffer from permanent brain trauma, caused by the injury, making him psychopathic. As a result of the injury Frank suffered from depth perception issues in the years following his accident.
It is unknown why Frank did not consult an ocularist and have an ocular prosthetic set into his eye socket. In 1972 or 1974 (depending on which source you read) "he stood out from the rag tag group of mobsters emulating class".
Being put on the shelf[edit]
Carrone was exiled from his crew and the Gambino family for robbing banks without Fatico's permission. Carrone now started robbing banks on his own. In May 1972 Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Special Agents Patrick Colgan and Thomas D'Onofrio were looking for Carrone about a string of bank robberies in New York. A number of bank tellers implicated Carrone, describing him as "bizarre looking man with one eye and a gun". One day the two agents spotted Carrone exiting an apartment building in Little Italy. Carrone saw the agents and drove off. The FBI chased him at speeds up to 90 miles per hour (140 km/h). As the agents approached children crossing at a cross walk, they attempted to slow down, but their brakes failed. Carrone sped away, but immediately plowed into a woman's car. When the agents got out of their car, a bystander told them that Carrone was hiding under the steering wheel in his vehicle. Almost immediately, Carrone popped out and starting firing at the agents. In the confusion, Carrone managed to escape.
Angering the Mob[edit]
After the FBI shootout, FBI supervisor John Good approached Fatico and told him to give up Carrone. Fatico could not comply because Carrone had fled to Boston. This caused a period of major FBI harassment brought on by Carrone shooting at the FBI agents. Furious at the trouble that Carrone had caused the Gambino family, Fatico put a contract on Carrone. Fatico allegedly offered to induct anyone who murdered Carrone into the Gambino family. However, Carrone remained a fugitive. He was also featured as a fugitive on the television program America's Most Wanted, but no one turned him in.
Capture in Massachusetts[edit]
In 1974, low on money, Carrone robbed a bank in East Boston, Massachusetts in the Financial District, Boston, Massachusetts. However, a silent alarm went off and Massachusetts state police troopers were soon chasing him. The troopers chased Carrone into some nearby woods. One trooper, tiptoeing through some heavy underbrush, suddenly heard three loud clicks behind him. He turned with his gun drawn and saw Carrone standing there, his gun pointed at the trooper's head. Fortunately Carrone was out of ammunition. As the trooper leveled his own gun at Carrone, Carrone pleaded with the trooper, "Do it". However, the trooper arrested him.
Time in prison[edit]
Carrone was sent to prison at Massachusetts Correctional Institution - Cedar Junction in Walpole, Massachusetts. Other inmates soon convinced Carrone that the Gambino family was going to murder him. Carrone spent his days quivering in fear, convinced that at any moment one of Carmine Fatico's soldiers would poison his food, or waylay him in a dark corner. FBI agents periodically visited Carrone, allegedly determined to make his life miserable. Carrone suffered from insomnia brought on chronic fatigue syndrome.
In 1975, Carrone died in prison of an undiagnosed supraventricular tachycardia brought on by hypertension, starvation, and malnourishment.

Pool, spa.
Had a leak in the bathroom; water was dripping through the ceiling light onto the toilet. When we mentioned it to the staff they said "maintenance needs to have it continue dripping overnight so they can diagnose the cause."

The building is very beautiful, the staff very friendly, courteous, and helpful. My room on the fourth floor had beautiful views and the decor in the room itself was beautiful.
Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Wonderful staff and concierge.
Scary pool area, distracting lighting throughout the hotel, very scary and uncomfortable environment. My kids felt that e hotel was haunted. One of our three rooms doesn't have air condition working.

The hotel is very close to the main station.
The location is somewhat distant from Old Town, although it is only a 10 minute walk. The area seems a bit sketchy after dark. Customers with mobility issues may have difficulty climbing the front steps.
Attractive building. Well appointed throughout. The room was very nice, although the window overlooked the interior lot of the building (not so nice). I would probably try to stay at a different hotel (with a more central location) if returning to Prague.

The location in the city.
The accessibility of the hotel was bad. Poor parking situation on a very crowded street. The only entrance had too many steps for a child stroller. The front desk were poor at best. Made us wait for a room. The room was not fully prepared when we arrived.
Parking is too expensive, and the hotel is average at best for the price.

Didn't expect much so we were pleasantly surprised!
Car Parking was so expensive!
Amazing at first sight! Really gives a feeling of a royal palace!But for car parking, you can leave the car in Marriott hotel, which is 10 Eur cheaper.

iOS 7: Nike + iPod, Photo Booth + Voice Memos
Soon after Apple debuted the completely redesigned iOS 7 on June 10, 2013, it became obvious that the iOS user experience has changed enough to merit a public re-introduction—a forward-looking discussion of the updated user interface and integrated apps. Our series on iOS 7 looks at every key section of Apple's new operating system, starting with setting up iOS devices, the new Lock Screen and Home Screen, then continuing through other major UI elements and built-in apps. For a broad look at all of iOS 7's changes from iOS 6, check out our big picture look at iOS 7, published on June 10, as well as our articles on iOS 7 setup, the Home Screen, and Lock Screen. Note that some features and graphics may change before iOS 7's final release.
Nike + iPod
Absent in the first showing of iOS 7, but back in the second beta, is Nike + iPod, a run- and walk-tracking app that can be toggled on and off in the Settings menus of iPhones and iPod touches. Like many of Apple's redesigned apps, it's the look, and not how it works, that's the big difference here. The generations of the app seem to have the exact same capabilities.
You're still able to separately calibrate a Nike+ Sensor for tracking walking and running, assuming you want the enhanced accuracy of Nike's shoe-based tracking accessory. Settings menus have received iOS 7-style fonts and dial controls.
Photo Booth
Solely included with iPads, Photo Booth is a holdover from the Mac OS X operating system—a cute app primarily designed to let kids play with the iPad's cameras using filter effects. The iOS 7 version of Photo Booth is substantially the same as its predecessor version, with the same eight realtime filters displaying alongside "Normal" on a 3x3 grid; only the fonts and borders around the live images have changed.
Apple has tweaked the snapshot-grabbing UI to resemble the iOS 7 Camera interface, but otherwise left the functionality unchanged.
What's missing?
Predictably, Apple has nixed Photo Booth's prior red curtain introduction, which for years served as a quick visual reference to classic photo booths. The app now appears with no more ceremony than other integrated iOS apps.
Voice Memos
Also missing from the first beta release of iOS 7, Apple's Voice Memos is now back for the iPhone and iPod touch. Functionally, it's very much the same, although the aesthetics are considerably different. Gone is the old-fashioned microphone that previously filled the screen; when recording with iOS 7, you'll now see a waveform of your voice presented in real time. Audio clips can still be trimmed, and can be shared via AirDrop, Messages, or Mail. Interestingly, the waveform icon displays a shimmering moire effect when you hold down any icon to delete or rearrange apps within iOS 7's Home Screens.

Take Point Initiative
Accelerator, Startup Competition, and Fellowship Program for Post 9/11 Veterans
The Atlantic Council, in partnership with the Bob Woodruff Foundation, launched the Take Point Initiative (TPI) in 2014 to support post-9/11 veterans transitioning to careers as nonprofit and thought leaders in the policy field, and to provide them with a voice in key discussions shaping American foreign policy and national security.
ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIPTake Point is open to veterans, including former officers and enlisted personnel, of the United States Armed Forces who are 35 years old and younger and who currently work in, or would like to transition to, careers in international policy. The ten-day, intensive fellowship is designed to prepare veterans for leadership positions in the nonprofit and policy fields, with a focus on international affairs and national security. The 2015 Take Point Fellowship offered three distinct fellowship tracks for applicants –Nonprofit Startup, Nonprofit Accelerator, and Thought Leadership (for projects such as research, publication and documentary film making that are not technically nonprofits).The Atlantic Council, in partnership with the Bob Woodruff Foundation, awarded $75,000 during the second fellowship cohort.
2015 FELLOWSHIPBuilding on the strong success of the inaugural 2014-2015 TPI fellowship the Council is expanding the initiative to engage a broader community of veterans nationally. Through Take Point, the Council provides exceptional young veterans with tools that will help them become nonprofit and thought leaders in the international affairs arena. In 2015, this included opportunities to network with potential employers and funders, deepen their substantive policy expertise, and build nonprofit and thought leadership skills over the course of an intensive ten-day fellowship program in Washington, DC. Additionally, the Council awarded over $60,000 in grant funds to Take Point fellows to support their work. In turn, fellows commit to using their training to help provide a voice for other young veterans in the foreign policy discourse, including injured veterans.
In 2016, the Atlantic Council will enhance the programming and benefits offered in the inaugural fellowship, which included training, mentorship, hands-on experience, and access to the Atlantic Council's network and expertise. The 2014/2015 fellowships featured a week of intense training designed to build the core competencies of strategic planning, nonprofit management, thought leadership, and communications. The first two classes of ten exceptional young veterans were selected through a highly competitive process, and included former officers and enlisted men and women who served in the United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force.
2015 fellows met with high-level officials from the government, civil society, philanthropic organizations, and the private sector, including meetings with Atlantic Council Chairman Gov. Jon Huntsman, Gen. James Cartwright, former White House Counselor Pete Rouse, and other senior Atlantic Council Staff, as well as nonprofit trainings by KNP Communications, Rubino & Company, Hogan Lovells US, and Georgetown and Indiana Universities. Following the week of training, fellows pitched their project idea to a panel of expert judges with the top pitch from each track receiving $20,000 in seed funding.

Italian food followed by bowling, pinball and video games—what could be better?
Join us in celebrating Brian Knoblock's return to the Twin Cities by stuffing yourself at Buca di Beppo, then burning off the calories at Gameworks. Brian is a long-time long-distance member of MNA, and he's finally making the move to Minnesota. If you haven't met him at an MNA picnic or befriended him on Facebook, here's your chance to find out why he's such a big fan of Riff Trax, obscure mathematics texts and even more obscure sports leagues.
The fun starts at one p.m. at Buca di Beppo, 1204 Harmon Place in Minneapolis. You can order your own entree or share a platter with other hungry heathens, but be sure to bring an appetite. If you want to skip straight to the arcade, meet us at Gameworks on Block E, 600 Hennepin Avenue, at around 3:30. Look for the people in the purple and white Minnesota Atheist t-shirts.
Those of you attending only one part of this double-header should indicate which one in your RSVP comment. If you're having lunch, no canceling after 5 p.m. on the 22nd, because the reservation will be set by then. Since we can't make "maybe" reservations, that response is not an option.
It'll be a blast. See you then!
The food at Buca was great and a great deal!!!! I had more fun than anticipated at Gameworks.

While Buca was a bit crowded, GameWorks was great afterward.

Buca food has never been my favorite Italian fare, but at least you know that it will be consistently mediocre. The turn out was large so the seating was less than ideal for talking to everyone. I was happy to meet some new and interesting people in the group.

I would however like a regular email to inform me of the status. The offsite machine isn't secured from burglary etc and therefore the backups need to be fully encrypted.

I already recommended your grocer within two hours of vacation here st Disney. Will use again in the future. Thanks for everything.
An all around great service. Can't praise them enough
This was a great time saver for us. I did not want to waste precious vacation time grocery shopping for 13 people. This was the first time I used an online grocery shopping site. I will definitely use garden grocer again when I visit Orlando. Excellent service and they were able to accurately deliver a very large order. :) I would love to have a garden grocer available in West Michigan for my household needs.
