MIKA VAINIO, currently based in Berlin, was one half of the minimal electronic duo Pan Sonic from Finland, (with Ilpo Väisänen). Before starting Pan Sonic in the beginning of the 90's, Mika Vainio has played electronics and drums as part of the early Finnish industrial and noise scene. His solo works, under his own name and under aliases like Ø, are known for their analogue warmth and electronic harshness. Be it abstract drone works or minimal avant techno, Vainio is always creating unique, physical sounds. He has released on other labels such as Editions Mego, Wavetrap and Sähkö and he has produced work with, amongst others, Alan Vega of Suicide, Keiji Haino, and Bruce Gilbert. Since 2009 Mika Vainio has contributed to the music for Cindy van Acker's dance pieces...
This is his 5th album for Touch, after Onko [Touch # TO:34, 1998], Kajo TO:43, 2000], Sokeiden Maassa Yksisilmäinen on Kuningas (In the Land of the Blind One-Eyed Is King) [TO:54, 2004] and Black Telephone of Matter [Touch # TO:72, 2009].
FE3O4 - MAGNETITE was recorded in Berlin between 2011 and 2012. In contrast to the dark vistas of his most recent releases, FE3O4 - MAGNETITE oscillates between the two poles of silence and noise. Using his signature sources which range from radio signals to sine wave generators, Mika Vainio creates a unique emotional journey that moves from the serene to the unsettling, always challenging the listener's comfort zone.
Other Music (USA):
Unlike some of Mika Vainio's recent solo releases, which tended to truck in darker and more foreboding soundscapes, FE304 - Magnetite is a blissful exercise in exploring the opposing forces of sound, from crisp, quiet minutia to rough-edged washes, the poles of silence and noise. Using mostly radio signals and sine wave generators as his source material, Vainio takes the listener on a strangely emotional journey that stretches both the ears and the imagination.
Dusted (USA):
Amongst the ironies of Panasonic (later Pan Sonic) — the name that Finnish electronic musicians Mika Vaino and Ilpo Väisänen gave to their long-running and recently retired musical project — is this fact: While it implied an involvement with all sounds, they sure took their time getting beyond the elements of beats and tones. And to the very end, no matter how far they strayed from those essentials, they always returned to them. Vainio's efforts under the name Ø could be even more reductive, while his work under his own name has tended toward extremes of loom and crumble; his last solo album Life (…it eats you up) is a massively heavy abstraction of guitar rock.
His new release, Fe304 - Magnetite, makes good on the Panasonic promise. Vainio seems comfortable using almost anything. At different points during its passage you'll hear a solitary wood block, a clicking movie projector, a cymbal, a field recording of distant mall music, a shortwave radio not quite tuned into a station, some massive synth bass, and some flaking granite guitar noise. Beats, however, are pretty thin on the ground. In keeping with his past minimalist approach, sounds often appear in isolation, but Vainio seems more willing to overtly intervene with them; much of "Magnetosome," for example, seems to be made out of stretched and transformed bell tones.
His taste in sounds and sense of what to do to them is unimpeachable, but the album's greatest strength is its resistance to categorization. It has noisy moments, but it's too spare to be noise. It uses field recordings, but not in a documentary fashion. It's too uneasy and abruptly changeable to be ambient music, despite having long passages where things happen slowly. And while some of those long passages feel like slides mounted in a catalog of sounds, there is a spot tucked into the back end of "Magnetosense" that sounds like spooky movie music. What is this stuff? Hard to say, but that's what keeps me coming back. [Bill Meyer]
Boomkat (UK):
There are few contemporary musicians who have had as much of an impact on us as Mika Vainio, so each new release is always cause for celebration. Whether exploring the grim underbelly of the electric guitar on 'Life (... It Eats You Up)' or haunted minimalism in his collaboration with Kevin Drumm and friends on 'Venexia', Vainio somehow manages to throw us into a state of awe consistently time and time again. 'FE3O4 - Magnetite' manages to uphold this quality but takes a stylistic about turn, exploring the two poles of noise and silence, finding Vainio explore distortion and contrast in a way he hasn't for many years now. Radio static emerges from almost nothing, sounds appear for a second and are gone and cables are established and removed without warning. This dynamic is offset by Vainio's well-documented expertise with very loud drones, and the drones we're treated to on 'FE3O4' are louder and more intense than you're likely to find almost anywhere else. Sub bass tones tear through the silence heralded only by small pops, and wavering, distorted oscillators cut and slice like a lone machete in a dark night. This is often terrifying music, but thanks to Vainio's calm hand it never devolves into mere theatrics. Rather the sounds are so well paced and expertly handled that you feel like you are being treated to the work of a pioneer, and someone whose work is a direct descendent of Bernard Parmegiani, Luciano Berio and Throbbing Gristle. Incredible music, and yet another totally unmissable full-length from Mika Vainio.
Norman Records (UK):
Vainio is back with his fifth album for the esteemed Touch label. if you're not massively familiar with his work then he's the king of dark sonic processed sounding sounds. I'm six minutes through the first track 'Magnetia' and I'm getting a dark sonic distorted fuzz which is foreboding and making me feel possessed.
Onto 'Magnetotactic' (all the tracks start with "Mag"...except the final track 'Elvis's TV Room') and it's chock full of strange noises, beeps and sounds. The album continues with disjointed crazy electronic soundscapes full of some of the oddest noises I've heard in a while. In between the dark fuzz, minimal tones and electronic pulses and throbs are acres of of sonic space where nothing much happens. It's far from an easy listen but those who are fans of the Vainio will find this much fun.
The Milk Factory (UK):
Mika Vainio was once one half of Finnish exploratory duo Pan Sonic until he and Ilpo Väisänen decided to part for good after fifteen years two years ago, but this ever only represented one facet of his work. As well as contributing to a good few other formations, he has released a number of records under a variety of monikers, perhaps the best known of which, beside the music published under his own name of course, is Ø, a project he pursues to these days. Fe304 – Magnetite is his tenth solo record as himself, his fifth for Touch.
Over the years, Vainio has extensively experimented with noise and silence in various forms and to various degrees. With his last album, Life (.. It Eats You Up), published last year on Editions Mego, he turned his attention to the electric guitar (processed, treated and textured), which provided the majority of his sound sources and gave him the opportunity to experiment with distortion and feedback in a different way to his usual set up. Fe304 – Magnetite is a much more contrasted affair. Returning to the familiar post-industrial sound sources that have been at the core of his work for two decades, he explores an incredibly vast dynamic range, focusing essentially on the sonic regions between complete silence and extreme noise. Vainio assembles minimalist tableaux from rarefied percussions, scattered electronics, distant radio signals and statics reminiscent of early stripped down forms of musique concrète (Magnetica, Magnetosome), to which he occasionally adds haunting sounsdscapes (Magnetosense). These minimal structures can sometimes develop almost imperceptibly for a number of minutes before they are torn apart by a devastatingly powerful sub-bass or a stab of distortions, often with little to no warning (Magnetostatic).
Often though, Vainio generates tension by creating an expectation that, at any point, the listener may be subjected to a high level of noise, but never actually realising it. This is a technique that has used on many occasions throughout his career, but it has been some time since Vainio has played on this to such extend. Fe304 – Magnetite contains some pretty intense moments of noise, but these are comparatively few and far between compared to the vast sprawls of atmospheric or minimal constructions he deals with here. It feels as if, because of these almost constant expectations that a storm is brewing somewhere, this album deals with silence and noise in equal measure. This is not the case. Vainio manages to convey the idea of noise even when he refrains from going anywhere near it, and this infuses throughout one of his most unnerving records to date. 4.3/5
Black Audio (blogger):
With a credible history with the legendary minimalistic Pan Sonic, Berlin based Mika Vanio has found himself releasing a number of solo projects of late, alongside working within the Finnish Industrial and noise scene. It is of no surprise then that 'Fe304-Magnetite' starts off with a fair amount of minimalism in its own right; light droplets of sound that are interrupted with off key drones and machine head bass electronics. Whilst as clever as the first half of this album is, it isn't until the glorious ambient beauty of 'Magnetosense' makes its appearance on track four that things really become interesting. Drones float away into breathing, resonating clarity and a cold wave of emotion is left for the listener to capture their own thoughts. For the most part, there is a purity to this album that I relish. When Vanio takes time to stop what could be deemed as tomfoolery, he does set apart a space where residual electronics can capture your thoughts and hold you in a small vacuum of hypnosis. The only aspect letting him down in a lot of respects, are the frequent self-indulgences of art taking precedence over actual music. This is in turn a real pity, as when Mika really sets his mind to it, his compositional qualities shine a very bright torch indeed.

Re: RPG:Champions of Geridarr
Indy watched as the 'contestants' were fitted with crystals and dragged to the Hologram rooms. He decided it was time to head the nearest safe zone of Tesba, and try to learn more about this place and how to get home. He walked out of the gates of the courtyard and into the land of Geridarr.
The terrain around the Castle was a rocky desert. Canyons and cliffs as well as dunes of sand stretched far into the distance. The castle was built into the mountain and a winding path lead down the mountain to a very large stable. Indy took the opportunity to get ahead of the other contestants, who could very well kill him if theyre crazy enough, and leave while they were listening to the Countess.
Indy jogged down the path and came up to the stables where various animals where kept behind metal fences (think Jurassic Park). They were separated into different cells for different animals. There were ones that he had never seen before. One pen held what looked like veloceraptors. Another had mammoths. Yet another had saber tooth tigers.
A Draconian in red robes with a cowl low over his face appeared from seemingly nowhere. He spoke in his snake like voice.
"Choose one mount. You may ride it to Tesba, there you turn it in to the stables. Not every safe zone city will supply you with a mount. You will have to traverse Geridarr's landscapes on foot at some points. For now, you may pick any one of these. However, beware, for some species do not respond well to the contestants." The Draconian motioned towards the veloceraptors. None of whom were growing or slashing at the fences...they just stood there and looked at Indy. Which made it worse.
"Alright...you got horses?"
"Yeah, four legs, hairy tail, long face..."
"Ah, the docile ones." The Draconian said and beckoned Indy to follow. He led him to a pen with one white horse in it.
"You are fortunate. The last one... We dont get more mounts until more are turned into this stable or until more are sent here by the Emperor. Take a saddle from the supply shed at the end of the cells."
"What about water?" Indy asked looking towards the desert beyond and squinting in the sunlight.
"The journey is not too far. If you cannot last it without gratouitous amounts of moisture than you will not survive this tournament heh heh heeeeee." With that the Draconian walked away along the long line of cells.
"Thanks?" Indy said and headed towards the supply shed. The door hissed open and there were many saddles to be had. He grabbed one that looked like a horse's saddle and went back to the horse pen. The door opened when the horse saw the saddle in his hand and it walked towards the end of the cell. The strange little wonders of Geridarr never seem to end...
Indy saddled up and mounted the last horse in the pens. He looked around the pens for the Draconian to ask him where to go but didnt see him anywhere.
"Where...?" He asked looking around. The Draconian was directly next to him, despite Indy looking there second ago. His scaley hand was pointed in a direction. Indy took the advice and spurred his horse on with a Yaaaah!
An hour into the journey
The sun was terrible, but Indy had gone through worse. His fedora helped a little. His jacket stayed on of course.
Indy rode along a cliff, kicking dust up as the horse galloped. He cleared a rocky section and came out into the finishing stretch. He could see beyond a large expanse of sand dunes was something in the distance. Tesba, for sure. He had been following a light path and there were several plain wooden signs along the way. This had to be it.
He spurred the horse onward and into the sea of sand. He was glad he reached the safe zone finally. Strange that he hadn't run into any contestants yet, perhaps it was because he had come in between 'waves' as the Draconian put it...The ground suddenly shook. The horse along fell. It was slightly spooked, but Indy hurried it onward. The shaking wasn't good.
"I've got a bad feeling about this..." He mumbled to himself
A rumble sounded in front of him. The sand began to rise upward like an eruption. He turned the horse around and moved several feet backward from it. A giant creature burst from the sand and roared at Indy.
"Yah! Yaaah!" Indy spured the horse backwards as the giant sand worm crashed into the area in front of him. He circled around as it snaked into the dune, throwing sand in all directions. He raced for the city, knowing that the safe zone would allow him sanctuary.
The worm burst from the sand next to him and its mighty jaws opened up and gave Indy a full view of the fearsome rack of teeth that spelled doom for Indiana and his valiant horse. The horse screeched loudly in panic and nearly kicked Indy off. He kicked it stiffly in the rear and spurred it onward just as the sandworm crashed beside him and sent sand everywhere. He knew the massive worm would not miss again.
The horse sped as fast as it could and Indy continued to spur it. The city was almost in reach and he might be able to reach it before the great worm struck again. The next attack came from below, however Indy and the horse were a tiny target and somewhat difficult to hit on the mark. One of the four lips of the beast slammed into the horse and Indy was thrown from it. Indy landed on the other side of the worm who was now burrowing into the sand again with a roar.
Indy picked himself up and looked to see the horse already making a run for the city on its own.
"Hey!" He yelled and took out his whip. It was hard to see with all the sand the worm was throwing. With an expert flick of his wrist he whipped onto the horses leg and was yanked into the sand. The horse continued to run towards the safe zone and drag Indy behind it. The sand worm popped up directly behind Indy and he looked back to see it roar and show its massive jaws once more.
The horse dragged Indy through the sand and the worm took the bait. It began to head towards Indy and it was gaining quickly. Indy looked to the horse, it was so close to reaching the low buildings of Tesba, yet the great beast was moving so quickly.
The worm was several feet away from Indy now as the horse ran. It roared once more and the wind nearly blew his fedora off. Indy was tempted to take out his revolver and let loose a few shots jus for the hell of it, but he needed both hands to grib the whip and he was being dragged. The worm got close enough and dove for Indy. He closed his eyes and awaited the crunch of his bones under the teeth of the worm. Suddenly he stopped. He felt a crash behind him. He carefully opened his eyes...
The whip had come loose, the horse ran off into the streets of Tesba. The worm crashed 3 feet from Indy's legs and the sand it kicked up slapped against an invisible barrier that surrounded Tesba. He let out a great sigh of relief and stood up. He shook the sand from himself and his fedora and wrapped up his whip, clipping it to his belt once more. He turned and faced the desert city of Tesba...a wretched isle of scum and villany.
I am a Role Playing Gamer, like my father before me.

General Cruise Line Classifications...
LuxuryAppeals to the more sophisticated cruiser. Very upscale ships, unique amenities and itineraries. The passenger to staff ratio is low, thus providing more refined personalized service (the staff knows your name). In most cases, all staterooms are situated for ocean views and most have balconies. Dining is top-notch from the table setting to the food and wine. Attire is more country-club during the day and upscale/elegant in the evening. Kids programs are few to none.
PremiumAn upscale experience that caters to all age groups and interests. Ships are well appointed with a unique blend of itineraries and onboard amenities. Passenger to staff ratio is still low and service is superb. Many ships have at least 80% of the staterooms providing ocean views. Dining is upscale and well presented. Attire is more reserved or casual, with certain dress requirements in the evening. Programs for kids are offered, usually segmented by age.
ContemporaryCaters to first time and repeat cruisers of all age groups and interests. Ships are of very ample size, some are the biggest afloat, with a vast array of activities and amenities. Numerous dining venues are available ranging from upscale to casual. Attire is usually relaxed, although most lines do have designated formal occasions. Programs for kids are extensive and segmented by age.
SpecialtyFor those interested in exploring the interiors of a country or countries via river. River ships are smaller than your average cruise ship, allowing a more neighborhood-like atmosphere. All staterooms have a river/shore view and are well appointed. Dining is elegant. Entertainment can be found in conversing with fellow passengers, lectures, or a culturally enriching show. Attire is casual. Most do not have kids programs, but entertainment and excursions are enjoyable for all ages.

This notice tells you about the ways in which we may use and disclose medical information about you. It also describes your rights and certain obligations we have regarding the use and disclosure of your information.
We are required by law to:
- make sure that your medical information is protected;
- give you this Notice describing our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to your medical information; and
- follow the terms of the Notice that is currently in effect.
This notice describes the practices of Bon Secours Kentucky and those of the following individuals and organizations (collectively, "we"):
- All divisions, affiliates, facilities, medical groups, departments and units of Bon Secours Kentucky;
- Any member of a volunteer group we allow to help you while you are in a Bon Secours Kentucky facility;
- All employees, staff and other Bon Secours Kentucky personnel; and
- Bon Secours Kentucky-based physicians, physician practices, residents, and medical students, with regard to services provided and medical records kept at a Bon Secours Kentucky facility or by physicians employed by or under contract with Bon Secours Kentucky.
The following sections describe different ways that we may use and disclose your medical information. For each category of uses or disclosures we will describe them and give some examples. Some information, such as certain genetic information, certain drug and alcohol information, HIV information and mental health information may be entitled to special restrictions by state and federal laws. We abide by all applicable state and federal laws related to the protection of this information. Not every use or disclosure will be listed, but all of the ways we are permitted to use and disclose information will fall within one of the following categories.
Treatment: We may use or disclose medical information about you to provide you with medical treatment or services. We may disclose information about you to doctors, nurses, technicians, students or other personnel involved in taking care of you. For example, a doctor treating you for a broken hip may need to know if you have diabetes so that proper medications, meals and treatments can be ordered. We may share medical information about you with Bon Secours Kentucky personnel or other health care providers, agencies, or facilities not affiliated with Bon Secours Kentucky in order to provide or coordinate the different things you need, such as prescriptions, lab work, and X-rays. We may also disclose medical information about you to people outside of Bon Secours who may be involved in your continuing medical care after you leave Bon Secours Kentucky, such as other health care providers, transport companies, community agencies and family members or others providing services that are part of your care. We may disclose information about your care to any doctor identified as a provider of medical care to you, even if that doctor is not a direct participant in a given episode of care at Bon Secours Kentucky. For example, it is routine for Bon Secours Kentucky to provide information about your care to your primary care provider (PCP). We may participate in an electronic health information exchange, which facilitates the sharing of your medical information for treatment purposes. In this way we may share your information with other health care providers that request information about you. We also may thus obtain the information that they maintain about you so we have a more complete understanding of your health and care.
Payment: We may use and disclose medical information about you so for payment activities of Bon Secours Kentucky and others involved in your care, such as an ambulance company. For example, we may use and disclose information so that Bon Secours or others involved in your care can obtain payment from you, an insurance company or another third party. We may disclose your information to the Social Security Administration, or any other person or insurance or benefit payor, health care service plan or worker's compensation carrier which is, or may be responsible for all or part of your bill. For example, we may give your insurance company information about surgery you receive at Bon Secours so they will pay us or reimburse you for the surgery. We may tell your insurance company about a proposed treatment to determine whether or not they will pay for the treatment or to resolve an appeal or complaint/grievance. However, if you pay in in cash in advance for your treatment, and you ask us not to disclose your health information to your insurance company with regard to that treatment, we will honor your request.
Health Care Operations: We may use and disclose medical information about you for our health care operations and for certain health care operations of other providers who furnish care to you. These uses and disclosures are necessary to operate Bon Secours Kentucky and to make sure that all of our patients receive quality services. For example, we may use medical information to review our treatment and services, to evaluate the performance of our staff, and to survey you on your satisfaction with our treatment and/or services. We may review and/or aggregate medical information to decide what additional services or health benefits Bon Secours should offer, what services are not needed, and whether certain new treatments are effective. We may disclose information to doctors, nurses, technicians, students training with Bon Secours, and other Bon Secours personnel for review and learning purposes. We may combine the medical information we have with medical information from other health care entities to compare how we are doing and see where we can make improvements in the care and services we offer. Bon Secours may disclose information to private accreditation organizations, such as the Joint Commission, in order to obtain accreditation from these organizations.
Health Information Exchange (HIE): Bon Secours Kentucky participates in the Kentucky Health Information Exchange (KHIE), a secure internet-based "virtual" health record that permits participants to electronically share health information with other health care providers for treatment, payment and operations purposes. By participating in KHIE, we may share certain portions of your health information with other health care providers that provide services to you and that participate in KHIE or health information exchanges.
Business Associates: We may share your medical information with third-parties referred to as "business associates". Business associates provide various services to or for Bon Secours. Examples include billing services, transcription services and legal services. We require our business associates to sign an agreement requiring them to protect your information and to use it only for the purposes for which we have contracted for their services in an effort to make sure your medical information is appropriately safeguarded.
Fundraising Activities: We may contact you to provide information about Bon Secours Kentucky-sponsored activities, including fund-raising programs and events. You may request to "opt out" of fund raising communications if you do not wish to be contacted.
Hospital Directory (Hospital Only): If you are hospitalized, we may include your name, location in the hospital (for example: room number or emergency room), your general condition (for example: fair condition, stable condition, etc.) and your religious affiliations in the hospital directory. The directory information, except for your religious affiliation, may be released to people who ask for you by name so your family, friends and clergy can visit you in the hospital and generally know how you are doing. Your religious affiliation and directory information may be given to members of the clergy, such as priests, ministers, or rabbis even if they don't ask for you by name. If you object to any or all of this information being included in the hospital directory, you must tell your caregivers at Bon Secours Kentucky so that information about you may be removed from the directory.
Individuals Involved in Your Care or Payment for Your Care: Unless you tell us not to, we may release medical information to anyone involved in your medical care, such as a friend, family member, or any individual you identify. We also may give your information to someone who helps pay for your care. Additionally, we may disclose information about you to your legal representative. If a person has the authority by law to make healthcare decisions for you, Bon Secours Kentucky typically will treat that legal representative the same way we would treat you with respect to your medical information. Parents and legal guardians are generally patient representatives of minors unless the minors are permitted by law to act on their own behalf and make their own medical decisions in certain circumstances.
Research: We may use and disclose medical information about you for certain research purposes in compliance with the requirements of applicable federal and state laws. All research projects, however, are subject to a special approval process, which establishes protocols to ensure that your health information will continue to be protected. When required, we will obtain a written authorization from you prior to using your health information for research.
As Required or Authorized by Law: We will disclose medical information about you when required to do so by federal and/or state law. This includes, but is not limited to, disclosures to mandated patient registries, including reporting adverse events with medical devices, food, or prescription drugs to the FDA. We also may disclose medical information to health oversight agencies for activities authorized by law. These oversight activities may include licensure activities and other activities by governmental, licensing, auditing and accrediting agencies as authorized or required by law. We may disclose your health information for public health activities including disclosures to prevent or control disease, injury or disability; report births and deaths; report child abuse or neglect; or notify a person who may have been exposed to a disease or condition. We may disclose information for law enforcement purposes as required by law or in response to a valid subpoena, summons, court order, or similar process.
Legal Proceedings, Lawsuits and Other Legal Actions: We may disclose medical information about you to courts, attorneys, court employees and others when we get a court order, subpoena, discovery request, warrant, summons or other lawful instructions. We also may disclose information about you to Bon Secours' attorneys and/or attorneys working on Bon Secours' behalf to defend ourselves against a lawsuit or action brought against us.
We may use and disclose your medical information in the following special situations:
- Disaster-Relief Efforts: We may disclose medical information about you to an organization assisting in a disaster-relief effort so that your family can be notified about your condition, status and location. If you do not want us to disclose your medical information for this purpose, you must tell your caregivers so that we do not disclose this information unless we must do so to respond to the emergency.
- To Avert a Serious Threat to Health or Safety: We may use and disclose medical information about you to help prevent a serious and imminent threat to your health and safety or the health and safety of the public or another person.
- Organ, Eye and Tissue Donation: We may release information to organizations that handle organ procurement, eye or tissue transplantation or to an organ donation bank, as necessary to facilitate organ or tissue donation and transplantation.
- Military: If you are a member of the armed forces, domestic (United States) or foreign we may release medical information about you to the military authorities as authorized or required by law.
- Workers' Compensation: We may disclose medical information about you for workers' compensation or similar programs as authorized or required by law.
- Coroners, Medical Examiners and Funeral Directors: We may disclose medical information to a coroner, medical examiner or funeral director as necessary for them to carry out their duties.
- National Security and Intelligence Activities: We may disclose medical information about you to authorized federal officials for intelligence, counterintelligence and other national security activities as required by law.
- Protective Services for the President of the United States and Others: We may disclose medical information about you to authorized federal officials so they may conduct special investigations or provide protection to the President of the United States, other authorized persons or foreign heads of state as authorized by law.
- Inmates: If you are an inmate of a correctional institution or under the custody of law enforcement officials, we may release medical information about you to the correctional institution or law enforcement officials as authorized or required by law.
Psychotherapy Notes: We must obtain your written permission to disclose psychotherapy notes except in certain circumstances. For example, written permission is not required for use of those notes by the author of the notes with respect to your treatment, or use or disclosure by us for training of mental health practitioners, or to defend Bon Secours Kentucky in a legal action brought by you.
Marketing: We must obtain your written permission to use or disclose your medical information for marketing purposes except in certain circumstances. For example, written permission is not required for face-to-face encounters involving marketing, or where we are providing a gift of nominal value (example: a coffee mug), or a communication about our own services or products (example: we may send you a postcard announcing the arrival of a new surgeon or x-ray machine).
Sale of PHI: We must obtain your written permission to disclose your medical information in exchange for remuneration.
Other Uses and Disclosures: Other Uses and Disclosures of your PHI not covered by the categories included in this Notice or applicable laws, rules or regulations will be made only with your written permission or authorization. If you provide us with such written permission, you may revoke it at any time. We are not able to take back any Uses or Disclosures that we already made with your authorization. We are required to retain your medical information regarding the care and treatment that we provided to you.
You have the following rights regarding your medical information:
Right to Inspect and Copy: With certain exceptions, you have the right to inspect and/or receive a copy of your medical and billing records or any other of our records that are used by us to make decisions about your care. The exceptions to this are any psychotherapy notes, information collected for certain legal proceedings and any medical information restricted by law.
To inspect and/or receive a copy of your medical records we require that you submit your request in writing to your Bon Secours Kentucky care provider or the appropriate medical records department. If you request a copy of your medical records, we may charge you a reasonable fee for the costs of copying, mailing or other supplies associated with your request. Under certain circumstances, we may deny your request to inspect or copy your records such as if we believe it may endanger you or someone else. If you are denied access to your medical information, you may request that the denial be reviewed by another licensed health care professional. We will comply with the outcome of the review.
Right to Request an Amendment: If you feel that the medical information we have about you is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask us to amend the information for as long as the information is kept by or for Bon Secours in your medical and billing records. To request an amendment, your request must be submitted in writing and provide the reason for the request. If we agree to your request, we will amend your record(s) and notify you of such. In certain circumstances, we cannot remove what was in the record(s), but we may add supplemental information to clarify. If we deny your request for an amendment, we will provide you with a written explanation of why we denied it and explain your rights.
Right to an Accounting of Disclosures: You have a right to receive a list of certain of the disclosures we have made of your medical information in the six years prior to your request. To request an accounting of disclosures you must submit your request in writing to the Privacy Officer. You must state the time period for which you want to receive the accounting, which may not be longer than six years and which may not date back more than six years from the date of your request. You must indicate whether you wish to receive the list electronically or on paper. The first accounting you receive in a 12 month period will be free. We may charge you for responding to additional requests in that same period. We will inform you of the costs involved before any costs are incurred. You may choose to withdraw or modify your request at that time.
Right to Request Restrictions: You have the right to request a restriction or limitation on the medical information we use or disclose about you for treatment, payment or health care operations. You also have the right to request a limit on the medical information we disclose about you to someone who is involved in your care or the payment for your care, such as a family member or friend. For example, you could ask that we not disclose information to a family member about a surgery you had. If we agree to your request, we will comply with your request unless the information is needed to provide you with emergency treatment or we are required by law to disclose it. We are not required to agree to your request except in the case where the disclosure is to a health plan for purposes of carrying out payment or health care operations of the health plan, and the information pertains solely to a health care item or service for which we have been paid out of pocket in full. For example, when a patient wants cosmetic surgery and pays for it out of pocket, upon request we will not send any claim to the insurance carrier.
To request a restriction you must make your request in writing and tell us (1) what information you want to limit, (2) whether you want to limit our use, disclosure or both, and (3) to whom you want the limits to apply, i.e. disclosures to your spouse. We are allowed to end the restriction if we tell you. If we end the restriction, it will only affect the health information that was created or received after we notify you.
Right to Request Confidential Communications: You have the right to request that we communicate with you about medical matters in a certain way or at a certain location. For example, you may ask that we contact you only at home or by mail. If you want us to communicate with you in a certain way, you will need to give us specific details about how you want to be contacted including a valid alternative address. We will not ask you the reason for the request, and we will accommodate all reasonable requests. However, if we are unable to contact you using the ways or locations you have requested we may contact you using the information we have.
Right to a Paper Copy of This Notice: You have the right to a paper copy of this notice at any time, even if you have previously agreed to receive this notice electronically. Copies of this notice are available throughout Bon Secours Kentucky or by contacting the Bon Secours Kentucky Privacy Officer.
We reserve the right to change this notice and Bon Secours' privacy practices. We reserve the right to make the revised or changed notice effective for medical information we already have about you as well as any information we receive in the future.
If you have questions or believe that your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with Bon Secours Kentucky or with the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. To file a complaint with Bon Secours Kentucky, contact the Privacy Officer. You will not be penalized for filing a complaint.

Call me old-fashioned, but I think governing philosophy is more important than the endless Chinese puzzle of moving this or that issue forward and back. American politics, right and left, has become obsessive about nailing where candidates "stand" on standalone issues--abortion, gay marriage, immigration, the North Pole melting or pulling out of Iraq. Trying to pin politicians down is honest work. But last time I looked, the thing you win was still called a "government." That means it matters if the candidate is able to govern, which has proven a challenge the past 16 years or so, in part because proliferating factions refuse to be governed.So, has Giuliani really done anything more than to tell the social conservatives that he can't agree with them on all their issues but that they ought to want him anyway? Are 60s lefties really to blame for one-issue voting? And if we really got into thinking about maturity and infantilism in American politics, which candidate would we gravitate toward? Giuliani?
In the '60s, the left introduced the "non-negotiable demand" into our politics. It's still with us. It's political infantilism. In real life, the non-negotiable "demand" usually ends about age six.
IN THE COMMENTS: Madison Man: "That damn left! If only everyone was mature like the right!"

Copy the following code and paste it into your website in order to display the current report.
We identified a 20% sample of all Medicare beneficiaries who died between the ages of 66 and 99 years during the period 2003-07. Data for 2010-12 are based on a 100% sample of claims. We excluded beneficiaries without continuous Part A and Part B coverage in the last six months of life or who were enrolled in Medicare health maintenance organizations (i.e., Medicare Advantage). From these decedents, we identified those with poor prognosis cancer diagnoses on at least one hospital claim or at least two clinician visits in the last six months of life. We then categorized decedents into one of 26 cancer types based on their predominant cancer diagnosis using a modified Clinical Classification Software (CCS) approach; please see the Methods of our cancer report for details.
Although all of these patients died of serious cancer, groups of patients across hospitals or regions may have differed by other characteristics such as the composition of age, sex or race. All rates are adjusted with the following patient level characteristics: age, race (black/non-black), sex, cancer type, and non-cancer chronic conditions.

Phone scam dialing up Garfield residents
The Garfield County Sheriff's Office issued a warning to residents this week about bogus telephone calls.
The caller, who uses a "private number," claims to be from the sheriff's office or an attorney.
The person taking the call is told that "they're guilty of check fraud" and that "they owe money," and if it's not taken care of "they might be arrested."
Don't give out personal information over the phone, unless you're absolutely sure about who is calling. If you feel a phone call is fraudulent, hang up, and call your local police department.

Things We Can't Live Without: The List Has Grown in the Past Decade
As Americans navigate increasingly crowded lives, the number of things they say they can't live without has multiplied in the past decade.
As Home Prices Cool Down, Homeowners Temper Their Optimism

A majority of Americans say they set a budget limit for their holiday shopping; 56% have already set or plan to set a limit while 41% say they don't use a budget limit for holiday shopping.
Working After Retirement: The Gap Between Expectations and Reality
More than three quarters of today's workers expect to work for pay even after they retire. Of those who feel this way, most say it's because they'll want to, not because they'll have to.
Americans See Less Progress on Their Ladder of Life
As economists and politicians debate whether there is less mobility in the U.S. now than in the past, a new Pew survey finds that many among the public are seeing less progress in their own lives.
American Work Life is Worsening, But Most Workers Still Content
Americans are generally satisfied with their own jobs but believe that wages, benefits, job security and employer loyalty have deteriorated over the past generation for most workers, a new survey finds.

In the nearly 100 years that Americans have been driving cars, the inflation-adjusted price of gasoline has drifted steadily downward, save for two sharp spikes up.
Americans and Their Cars: Is the Romance on the Skids?
Any nation with more passenger vehicles than licensed drivers has a pretty serious love affair with the automobile. But the romance seems to be cooling off a bit — a casualty of its own intensity.

Woman faces charges in husband's death
Relatives discover man's covered body on floor of home
After three weeks of asking where James Peters was, his relatives found his body Friday under a sheet on the floor of his home near Haines City.
Authorities said his wife, Sheree Peters, 56, was arrested on charges of manslaughter in connection with the death, as well as tampering with evidence after attempting to hide the crime.
James Peters' relatives were given various conflicting stories from Sheree Peters when it came to her husband's whereabouts during the time he was missing.
When relatives confronted Sheree Peters, they said she became nervous and left.
Investigators said James Peters' family members entered the home to look for themselves and made the horrifying discovery.
Polk County deputies found Sheree Peters at a motel in Dundee in possession of crack cocaine. When questioned about her husband's death, officials said she gave differing accounts of how her husband died.
Authorities said she told them he was shot while the two of them were struggling with a gun. After first telling investigators the gun was still in the home, she changed her story and claimed she sold the weapon for crack cocaine.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office said Sheree Peters was also charged with possession of cocaine and paraphernalia.
A news release from the Polk County Sheriff's Office indicated James and Sheree Peters had both faced charges in the last six years for domestic violence against each other.

Why? The West Indies deserve a bit of success. It's about time!Originally Posted by aussie
Sreesanth said, "Next ball he was beaten and I said, 'is this the King Charles Lara? Who is this impostor, moving around nervously? I should have kept my mouth shut for the next ball - mind you, it was a length ball - Lara just pulled it over the church beyond the boundary! He is a true legend."
The last game against Australia showed me a couple of things and I think I owe Dwayne Bravo an apology. Well he finished with average figures of 1-33 of 6, that slower ball to dismiss Clarke was probably the turning point in the game. The way he pulls out this bits of brilliant is absolutely outstanding, but like Liam said earlier he just needs to be careful that he doesn't try and make things happen when he'd be better off plugging away at a line and length.
Brian Lara- what a great batsman to watch when he is in full-flow, out of the current players he would be one of the players that I would watch if I knew he was going to score a hundred. He is just so beautiful to watch.
And what was Chris Gayle doing against Australia? Was he taking hyperactivity pills or something? I was suprised to see such a cool character get so excited and wound up, he really needed to calm down. Those four overthrows he gave away was ridiculous and could well have helped Australia win, much like Brett Lee's beamer to McCullum in the Chappell Hadlee series last year.

I like his attitude and never say die character but i also think that bowling is more about consistency and variety than it is about bowling the odd clever slower ball to Clarke.

Mizzou Track Earns Top Ten Marks at Razorback Invitational
FAYETTEVILLE, AR -- The weather pulled through for the Tigers on Saturday at the Razorback Spring Invitational, as they completed the weekend's competition with a beautiful afternoon of competition. Although a morning storm caused the cancellation of the first flight of men's discus, the clouds quickly dissipated, and the Tigers responded in turn, coming out of the meet with three event winners and 15 new PRs.
First up, though, is the final performance by the Tigers out in California at the Stanford Invitational. Senior Max Storms hit the track Friday night in the 10,000m and finished in 29:25.42, ten seconds off his own school record from the Mt. SAC Relays last year. Storms returns to the longer distances after a memorable senior cross country season, placing 56th overall to be the highest Tiger finisher since 1972.
The strong performances continued in Arkansas on Saturday with highlights from senior Blake Irwin and sophomore Jill Rushin. Irwin, who came into the meet off an impressive 1500m performance at the Missouri Relays last week, returned to the track this weekend in his main event: the 800m run. Irwin had a solid final lap to not only take the win in the race, but run one of the fastest times in the nation thus far with a 1:49.12, only two seconds off his PR.
Rushin also came through with a win for the day, throwing an outdoor best in the shot put to mark in at 16.19m (53-1.50). This was her first shot put competition of the outdoor season, and sets her up well for the rest of the season with a top ten spot in the nation on the current rankings.
The final event win came from freshman Markesh Woodson who ran 10.30 in the 100m dash to take the overall win by 0.15 seconds. The indoor 60m dash SEC Champion and All-American made his outdoor debut this morning in style, as he comes out of the weekend with a top ten time in the NCAA according to current rankings. He has the fastest time in the nation thus far for a freshman.
These three were joined by fourteen more PR performances by the Tigers during Saturday's competition, including a 16-second PR by sophomore JT McCarthy in the 3000m to finish in 8:42.01. Freshman Kyle Smith improved on his 14.25 110m hurdle time from the Missouri Relays today with a 14.07 finish to place third overall in the competition. Sophomore Maggie Givens ended up in fourth for the pole vault after breaking into a new personal best of 3.70m (12-1.50). Freshman Nick Sublett improved by eight inches in the shot put, hitting a top throw of 15.10m (49-6.5).
Next up for the Tigers will be the Crimson Tide Invitational in Tuscaloosa, AL, next weekend.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Spacewalking astronauts finished putting in a new six-pack of batteries at the International Space Station on Friday, a $22 million power overhaul that was their last major objective.
It was the third and final spacewalk this week for the visiting crew of shuttle Atlantis.
Within three hours of floating outside, Garrett Reisman and Michael Good had plugged in the remaining two new batteries. Four were installed during Wednesday's spacewalk by Good and another spaceman.
"The batteries are done," one of the spacewalkers said. "Yeah!" shouted the other. "Can you believe it?"
Replacing the station's original 10-year-old batteries was harder than it sounded. There were many bolts to undo then redo and the batteries were bulky: 3-foot-wide (meter-wide) boxes, 375 pounds (170 kilograms) apiece.
With shuttle flights ending this year and another decade of space station operation looming, NASA wanted the orbiting outpost to have all fresh batteries. Six batteries were replaced last summer. The nickel-hydrogen batteries are charged by the solar wings and provide electrical power to the space station during darkness.
Each one cost $3.6 million, or nearly $22 million for a pack of six.
The removed batteries were packed aboard a platform for Atlantis' trip home next week.
Besides the battery work, the astronauts completed an assortment of odd jobs. They hooked up a new cable for the station's cooling system, organized tools that had been left out for some time and hauled in an extra robot-arm perch that needs more parts.
They stole a view of Italy as they soared more than 210 miles (335 kilometers) overhead.
"Fantastic," Reisman said. "Smell all the pizza from here."
Later, the astronauts could see the two shuttle launch pads and the landing strip at Florida's Kennedy Space Center.
"Houston, we've got the field in sight," shuttle pilot Dominic "Tony" Antonelli radioed from inside. "We'd rather you not land just yet," Mission Control replied.
The spacewalkers were so eager to get going Friday morning that they went out early. As the pressure slowly dropped in the air lock, Reisman commented: "It's like standing on your bathroom scale and waiting for the needle to go down."
Nearly seven hours later, after everything was accomplished, they got the call: "Come on in."
"It was three great, fantastic" spacewalks, Mission Control told the crew.
Atlantis delivered the batteries last weekend along with a new Russian-made compartment. The chamber was opened Thursday, but had to be sealed again when metal filings were found floating inside. Mission Control said air scrubbers should clean up everything.
Atlantis will undock from the space station Sunday for the last time. Only two more shuttle missions are on the books, both of them scheduled for this fall and set aside for NASA's two other shuttles.
NASA and some members of Congress are pushing for one more flight of Atlantis, next June. The Obama administration would have to give its blessing.
President Barack Obama wants to end the shuttle program fairly soon so NASA has more money to spend on developing the technologies needed to send astronauts to asteroids and Mars. Russian rockets will continue to ferry U.S. astronauts to and from the space station until commercial companies can perform the job with their own spacecraft.
The space station is expected to keep operating until 2020.

text: Hi, I installed Mailman according to the ISP config manual. If I create mailing list in the ISP Config control panel I receive the e-mail with default <domain>/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/<listname> URL, however the redirection in Apache doesn't seem to work. I created the link between the mailman and the apache2 directories according to the manual dough. I can access the mailman management panel at the http://<ispconfig server's default domain>/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/<listname> only. Any idea what to try and where? Thank you, Ferenc

Architects, technologists, clients and students, fill in this year's AJ Women in Architecture survey before Christmas and help us track the evolving status of women in the profession
This year's survey is open to both men and women working in the built environment to track perceptions of equality, salary and flexible working.
The anonymous survey asks questions about career challenges and experiences working in architecture covering subjects such as sexual discrimination, childcare, work/life balance and pay.
Completed by nearly 700 women, last year's survey revealed shocking findings and resulted in the instigation of three new honours for female architects.
The 2012 Women in Architecture survey showed that 47 per cent of women claimed men were paid more for the same work and almost two thirds believed the industry was yet to accept the authority of the female architect.
The survey forms part of the AJ Women in Architecture campaign and awards, sponsored by Roca, which aims to promote the status of women in architecture while encouraging role models for young women in practice.
The annual programme includes talks and events, a luncheon, an industry survey and three honours.
The next AJ Women in Architecture luncheon will be held on 22 March at the Langham Hotel, London, and AJ editor Christine Murray will be hosting a talk at the Roca Gallery for International Women's Day on 8 March 2013.
The information provided by the survey will help to inform articles and research for both The AJ in print and online from January 2013.

Open Meetings Law Violated In Mullinville
KSCB News - May 6, 2013 8:07 am
The Kiowa County Attorney says Mullinville's city officials need to take classes on the state's open meetings law.
County Attorney Scott James says the council violated the law by firing a newly elected city council member from his job in the city's public works department during a closed session.
He has asked Mullinville's mayor, mayor, city clerk, four council members and the city attorney to take the classes.
James says last month's firing of Rob Roberts was a technical violation of the law. He says tempers flared during the closed session and city officials forgot to follow the open meetings law.

Freshman Thomas leads CSU QBs
Steve Fairchild did everything but name a quarterback after true freshman Pete Thomas consistently lined up Saturday with Colorado State's first unit.
The order was clearly Thomas, the mid-year enrollee from San Diego, vastly improved junior Klay Kubiak coming off more than a year of shoulder woes and redshirt freshman Nico Ranieri.
The only change in the order saw much traveled wide receiver T.J. Borcky moving back to quarterback to run some two-minute drills.
Several hundred fans attended the scripted two hour, 45 minute drill at Hughes Stadium. There were only three periods of "live" hitting, and even then it wasn't about moving the chains.
The Rams resume two a days Monday. After a diet of Sunday tape, Fairchild left open the possibility of naming a quarterback sooner than later.
