What's the difference between a sex toy and a real-life partner? Quite a bit actually, but the lines between authentic and artificial are becoming blurred thanks to the life-like qualities of the Fleshjack masturbator collection (both gay and straight). For those not familiar with this specific breed of male masturbation utensil, fleshlights are miniature orifice-adorned contraptions that simulate sexual intercourse of the preferred gender. In other words, "sex in a can."

I know that WDW updated the monorail spiels this year on all three monorail lines. Would anyone know where I could download these audio files? I found some links at wdwmagic.com; however these are youtube links where you cannot download the audio for these... (If anyone knows if you can do that on youtube, that info would be good as well.) I have a bunch of audio files but they are from the mid to late 90's and are outdated. I would like to have them for my collection. Any help would be appreciated!

At least six Michigan residents have now died as part of the outbreak of a rare form of meningitis.
The latest is a 79-year-old woman from Oakland County who is among 49 people in the state to be stricken by the illness. The spread of fungal meningitis has been linked to contaminated steroids made at an East Coast pharmacy and shipped to a handful of clinics in Michigan and across the United States.
The Michigan Department of Community Health says there have been four abscesses and a joint infection, in addition to the meningitis cases.
According to experts the most important factor determining who gets sick seems to be how much fungus was contaminating a vial of medication. The steroids were injected to relieve back and neck pain.
Including Michigan the outbreak is now blamed for 23 deaths and 284 illnesses in 16 states.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Instigator
The big OED has "Impresario: from Italian impresa;—undertaking, attempt, device. The undertaker of any business, contractor, etc. One who organises public entertainments, especially the manager of an operatic or concert company." "Impresario" is the tag attached to Sergei Pavlovitch Diaghilev (1872-1929).
The Oxford definition ignores the present interest in ballet for which he was largely responsible. Diaghilev indeed organized seminal performances of Russian, French, and Italian opera in addition to new orchestral music, but his fame depends on service to the classic academic dance. However, his function and its character surpassed the operations of most impresarios, our most notorious of whom in the United States was Sol Hurok. He sold dance like delicatessen, rented art from its prime movers and made money. Diaghilev was an instigator.
After thirty years of back and heart-breaking persistence, he died with no fixed abode, one clean well-patched dinner-jacket and a collection of rare old Russian books. The money he spent his adult life in begging for was used only to create and maintain a repertory of unprecedented collaborations of music, dance, and painting. He paid his performers neither promptly nor well; working with or for him was a reward past cash. Diaghilev was not a purveyor of entertainment. He was a prompter, strategist, and tactician of virtuoso performance, a discriminating stubborn triple agent whose effect is felt strongly wherever ballet is seen today.
When Balanchine, his final ballet master (hired at twenty), is asked, "What was Diaghilev like?" his reply may seem odd. No word about ballet, music, art. Instead he is remembered as a kind of Potemkin or Witte, a personage with the capacity of prime minister or hereditary prince. Naturally this recollection is colored by the fact that Balanchine entered the Imperial Academy as a child, passed early years under the Soviets, and then was enlisted by Diaghilev who was serving as minister of culture for Monaco. It was almost like coming home. Diaghilev's own apprenticeship was within the bureaucracy of the Imperial theaters. Youthful high spirits and efficiency caused a setback which might have destroyed a frailer temperament. He derived from minor provincial aristocracy; it has been proposed, without much conviction, that the fact his paternal fortune derived from his grandfather's license to make vodka triggered a compensatory ambition. His mother, however, descended from an ancient line; he was not above imagining he bore remote kinship and resemblance to Peter the Great.
Diaghilev's courage and flexibility were always superior to small pretensions or simple ambition. On the eve of his first great French season, when grand-ducal support was abruptly withdrawn, he shouldered apparent bankruptcy with ingenious indifference. He quarreled on principle with his trusty collaborators. He orchestrated betrayals and managed reconciliations as if schooled by Machiavelli. In silence, before insulin, he endured diabetes and died at fifty-seven. The popular residual portrait, derived from photographs in the last years of his life, presents him as a bulky person in late middle age; one forgets he met Nijinsky when …

These boots are great! I wear them when I'm on my motorcycle and they protect well! Recently I wrecked and they held up good. The road chewed them up, but they can still be worn and still be effective riding boots. If you ride, get a pair of these!

Awesome pair of boots
Review by: Eddie, Somerset NJ, 10/23/2012
I felt this product's fit was half size large
This boot fits a little large but not annoyingly so. I really like how tight you can make them fit with the straps and they give the boots a very cool look. The spit shine surface is excellent and easy to maintain. I generally tuck my pants into these and they do not come untucked which is awesome. Really annoys me to have to keep tucking my pants back in. I am very glad I purchased these boots.

I felt this product's width was fits narrow
Supershnell shipping. The boot came with an EXCELLENT factory finishfeel gratebut the straps were a little short for me to fasten easlyI''m not a young man he he heee. Overall I liked them.
Review by: Marie, savannahga, 8/7/2011
I gave these boots 4 stars because they are not offered in women''s sizing. That also makes it difficult to rate the ''true to size'' option but from what I can tell they are true to size. They were very comfortable from the moment I put them on and have only gotten better with wear. I have only had them a week but have worn them to work waitress every night. Lightweight but lots of support. No sliding around on wet floors either Although they appear to be very well made and should last we will see how they stand up to lots of flexing and kitchen grease. These are replacing a pair of side zip Corcorans that I wore for about 5 years.
Review by: bill, pittsburgh pa, 5/21/2011
The boots look great wear great but they have a persistent odor of mildew that I initially believed was a waterproofing treatment but now I am not so sure.
Review by: Eston, Cheltenham Md, 4/12/2011
These are the best boots I have ever purchased I have gotten several comments on how nice they are. They are very comfortable I wear them almost every day and stand on my feet with no problem .
Review by: Daniel, Guthrie Oklahoma, 2/4/2011
Awesome boots Much lighter than most military boots. Faster to remove than lace up boots. Good traction on snow and ice but not warm without wool socks. You do have to wear them around for 2-3 days to break them in before they get really comfortable. But after that they''re good to go.

Boot is perfect. Comfortable and fits well. Arrived in two days. Highly recommend.
Review by: Michael, Shreveport LA, 7/19/2010
Sharp looking boots. The tanker style is easier than any lace up boot.
Review by: Jim, Chula Vista/CA, 6/19/2010
These boots turned out to be exactly what I thought they''d be: easy to break-in comfortable and true-to-size. I have no complaints.
Review by: Matt, Boynton Beach FL, 4/25/2010
make sure you base your shoe size off of true inch or mm measurements thank goodness i did... i know that military boots tend to run large and ordered accordingly - off of the HH chart available online. i was slightly hesitant in ordering what i thought was a "small" size but they turned out perfect. thanks shoeline and cheers
Review by: Charles, Ypsilanti Michigan, 4/12/2010
Excellent service
Review by: Norm, Ormond Beach FL, 3/22/2010
It would be nice if the boot was offered in a E width the Wide D is a little snug but should stretch just enough to make it very comfortable.
Review by: marie, Grampian PA, 12/29/2009
Exactly what I wanted
Review by: Nicholas, Chicago/IL, 11/14/2009
Order your shoe size. If you wear converse then order that size. they fit a little big but I wouldn''t go smaller. I have narrow feet but ordered the wider width. I would stick to the wider size for any width feet. They''re good boots a little tricky to break in.
Review by: Connor, Valley/CA, 8/12/2009
I''ve been admiring these boots for a while. Bought a pair of 11 Wide and they fit perfectly true to size and width. If you think you might wear a wider size definitely get wide. I tried on a normal width and they were much too small. As many others have said there is no break-in period with these boots you can literally jump into them and start running. They are very comfortable and very durable since they are all leather which I love. I also love that they were made in the USA which I can feel good about since these are now my favorite pair of boots to wear all the time. These boots look awesome and are hardcore and they are perfect for the military man. Definitely worth the money if you are even considering getting a pair you absolutely should Plus you can''t beat free shipping and returns that''s why I bought these boots here
Review by: Lindsay Bridgew, New York, 4/21/2009
Product is excellent very hard to find and perfect for that military man in your family. The straps are a great touch much nicer than the laces and more fire proof. Great and would recommend highly.
Review by: Steve, Stillwater/OK, 2/2/2009
Great pair of boots. Bought them for use when riding my motorcycle but wear them for everyday use. Comfortable durable and looks good too.
Review by: Steve, Roanke, 12/3/2008
Just like when I was in the military. Outstanding product and the best value I have been able to find. And free shipping. Couldn''t have asked for anything easier and faster service.

This is the third year I ran this project, it basically consists of mailing out pages from a sketchbook tour to different users all over the globe. They provide the artwork and mail the page back.
Eventually the pages are brought back into the original sketchbook and you are left with a collaborative project done the old school way. This is the online rendition of the result of months and much legwork and stamp licking.
This one took a bit longer to put together than previous years, as this is the first time I dove into dealing with over 100 participants. All in all, it was great deal of fun seeing what people came up with and I hope you enjoy the result of it.
I do like that this sketchbook tour drew to a close at the end of 2008, i felt that it provides a nice time capsule/snapshot of each of these artists for that year. See Ya next year!!
Heres some links to the past sketchbook tours, if youre interested to see how they've evolved.

Rice invites you to be a part of the creation of their first album and spread their message of love.
WE MADE IT!! YEAH! We just broke the $2500 mark, guaranteeing the success of the fundraiser!! Your continued support and shared enthusiasm for our goal of creating harmonious, love-inspired music is wonderful. We can't wait to get to work making your rewards, and finishing up this album. For now, there's 24 hours left to raise the amount as high as we can!
Love, RICE!
Another, Another Update!!: WOW. We are overwhelmed and humbled by all your support. It means the world to us. As we are rapidly approaching the finish line, and we are over 80% of the way there! You are all awesome. We just added a new reward to get you frothing-at-the-mouth excited. For a measly $100 you now get the option to choose a side to paint on Jeremy's keyboard box! This would be a great choice for artists who would like their work represented everywhere we go. And for $100 you can still choose a custom poster hand-painted by Paige if you would prefer that instead! ALSO the painted windows were lowered to $150, so you can now pick between a custom-painted window pane or a show dedication with guest list privileges.
In addition! Everyone who participates in the Kickstarter will have their name printed on the liner notes for the album. And in case you didn't catch it, everyone who participates will ALSO receive a LIMITED EDITION collection of B-sides/Demos, never before released!! This compilation will only be released to those who help us by pledging to the Kickstarter.
Don't forget to spread the word! IF WE DON'T REACH OUR GOAL OF $2500 BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON WE GET NOTHING, WHICH MEANS YOU GET NOTHING! Make this album a reality, along with all the amazing rewards we are prepared to shower you with in return for your help. ;)
Love, RICE
Another Update!!: I'd
like to take another opportunity to THANK everyone who has participated
in our fundraising effort so far. We are over 60% of the way there!
However, we now have ~$1000 to raise and 3 days to do it. If you would
like to help and have already pledged a monetary contribution, or
perhaps you're tight on cash and are looking for other ways to be a part
of the campaign, you can help us spread the word by SHARING the Kickstarter.
Share it on your page, share it on your friend's page, put it in
tumblr, tweet it, myspace it, livejournal it, email it, shout it out in the streets and make sure that all your
friends know about it!
Also, for those within the Jacksonville area, we're going to be ON THE RADIO on
89.9 FM (NPR)!! Tonight The Cure will be on Indie Endeavor at 11 PM. Tomorrow
morning we will be interviewed by Melissa Ross on First Coast Connect
and The Cure will be played at 9 AM. These are great opportunities to
let your friends hear a sneak peek of what will be on the album!
Finally, you can now download THE CURE for yourself and listen to it anytime! A little taste of the album just for you!
Hello! Ca va! Buenos Dias!
Thank you for visiting the RICE kickstarter. Below you can read all about the story of Rice and our future plans and aspirations after the completion of this project. Thanks for checking us out and supporting independent music!
The album Keep Warm has been a concept for almost three years. We began making simple home recordings on Chris and Paige's laptops immediately upon forming the band, and as we worked on the songs we learned a lot about song-writing, performing, musicianship, and recording. More importantly, we've learned a lot about ourselves, each other, and life. We want to share what we've learned with YOU! Over the years we have developed and refined this band to spread the love, beauty, and harmony of life by expressing those ideals through music. The completion of Keep Warm will be the most concrete and permanent realization of this ideal yet. We want this album to be uploaded to iTunes and a vast array of blogs and media sites, broadcast on college and independent radio stations, and shared around the WORLD!
This is where YOU can add your influence and be part of our community.
Our friends, our family, our fans - you have been with us since the beginning and have always supported us. It is because of you that we have reached this point. With this Kickstarter we hope to take that continued support and in turn raise money for our upcoming album while rewarding YOU for helping us every step of the way.
Music is about sharing an experience between the performers on stage (or in the studio) and the listeners in the audience. In order to facilitate this, we would like to bring you our sound on vinyl so you can listen to every detail of Keep Warm in glorious analog. To do this, we need to raise $1300 to purchase the initial shipment of 300 records. Some of these records will be returned to you as rewards for helping us raise the funds to accomplish this task. Others will be distributed to the press to help raise awareness about Rice and expand our local music community. BUT! - Every single one of them will represent the combined effort of us, the musicians, and you, the listeners, to create a dynamic, shared community and enrich the world.
You may be asking by now why we have set our goal to $2500 if we only need $1300 to press on vinyl. Fair question!
There's much more that goes into this process than simply buying the records. Besides the recording process, there's mixing and mastering the recordings. Then there's duplication and distribution of the recordings. In addition, there's album artwork, promotional materials, shipping. etc. We are not signed to a label, although along with fellow local bands Opiate Eyes, Wild Life Society and Robin Rutenberg and Friends we form the independent co-op label Skinny Records (http://www.skinny-records.com/). However, Skinny is not a financial backer, but rather a community of like-minded artists with a shared vision. That means we are producing this album and handling all of the costs by ourselves. Every aspect of Keep Warm, from song-writing to recording to mixing to distribution is being handled by US and our friends as independent musicians to bring you the purest, more sincere music possible.
We've set our funding goal higher than $1300 so that in addition to pressing the album on vinyl we can pay Ryan for the recording time he has selflessly donated to the band at his studio, Warehouse Studios (http://www.facebook.com/warehousestudiosjax).
Yep, you read that right! In addition to being a member of the band, Ryan also runs a recording studio and has handled all our recording for Keep Warm.
We will also use some of the funding to pay Keagan Anfuso and our project video team at the local production company Fat Screaming Baby (http://www.facebook.com/FSBProductions) for a professional music video that will feature a single from the album. This is an important part of the promotion of the album, and we're very excited to be working with Keagan and her team on this aspect of our album release. They did a great job with the Kickstarter and we can't wait to see what they come up for the music video!
Remaining funding will be split between the various costs of producing and distributing an album, and creating rewards for you, our wonderful fans. If there's any left after all that, we will purchase more records!
Now that you know what we want to do with your hard-earned moneys, let's hear about what you get in return! (Besides the satisfaction of helping a DIY independent band publish their first album of course, we all know you're here for the sick loot!)
Here's just a few of the awesome treats we have for our backers! Check out our rewards on the right side of the page for a full list of benefits and a few bad jokes.
First and foremost, everyone who donates to the Rice Kickstarter, at any donation level, receives a copy of Rice B-sides/Demos that will ONLY be released to the Kickstarter participants. This includes early versions of the songs that will be on Keep Warm, spontaneous jams, old songs that have been phased out, etc. Some of what you may receive could end up being early versions of future Rice songs, or it could be moments that will never be recreated (like that song we recorded in that record store where Paige lived that didn't have hot water). This is a one-time opportunity, ONLY for those who take part in this Kickstarter campaign! Don't miss out!
At the lowest donation level of just $1 you can score a HAND PAINTED Rice shaker as well as a big bear hug from the band and our eternal gratitude for your support!
For a larger donation of $25 you're getting a one of a kind, HAND PAINTED Rice shirt. These are very special. This particular set of designs will no longer be used for merch after the kickstarter. So be a part of the magic! Donate $25 and you'll also get a download of the album, Keep Warm, CDs of Breathe and Dear Bird AND a Rice shaker, button, sticker pack. Here's one of MANY unique shirts.
Others rewards include a hand painted skateboard deck, antique windows, and a CHURCH ORGAN!
Here are the window panes, prior to being painted. Once they're done they will look fantastic on someone's wall!
That's Zeke, our manager. He will be making sure every reward we create is up to par.
With so many great, different ways to help, we hope you'll encourage others to help us reach our goal and print our first album on VINYL!
Thank you for seeking out and supporting local bands and businesses!
Stay tuned to our Kickstarter for updates as we continue through this process!

Thanks for the write up. The skill choice adjustments in particular are quite the shake up! But Pinpoint Barrier is a definite improvement over storm armor. I was using storm at first with scramble, but it wasn't helping much. I then started using the one that reduces AP costs because it helped fuel Disintergrate. Forked Lightning is a good alternative. Except it's kind of useless against Elites. Anyway, I tried this set up out, and Pinpoint Barrier really is the star. I'm not getting much use out of Critical Mass or Crystal Shell, though. Crystal Shell is always in CD, and goes down immediately (like in 1 hit) when fighting Elites. I don't know if Critical Mass reduces the CD of Archon any, but I was able to keep it up much longer now. Pretty much permanent. I still died 5 times though, once to frozen/jailer/molten/reflect skelies in the keep (they got lucky), and 4 times to the same pack of Hulking Phase Beasts in the Tower. I think I might drop the tower from my runs for now, though the EXP there seems higher than the bridges or the keep depths. Maybe in 1.07 the Keep Depths and Bridges on MP 1 will be higher EXP wise than Crater MP 0.
As for the items, I plan to get Zunimasa Boots and Inna pants, but both items are around 20 Mil each. (I'm on the America's server) Once I can get those, I can drop the Tyrael's Might, probably in favor of a Tal Rasha, which is also probably going to run around 20-30 Mil... I know the shoulders are really bad, but they're the best I could afford that had Resist and Pick Up Radius. Everyone seems to be using Vile Wards, but I've never seen one for less than 10 million. The only thing I don't quite follow though is the suggestion to replace the Echoing Fury. The Chance to Fear almost never kicks in, but when it does it's actually pretty helpful. Against trash mobs it's a non factor because even with my low dmg, white stuff dies almost instantly. Wizard is ranged, so it's easy to kill them while they run away. It really shines against Elites though, because I can get in a lot of free hits while they're running away. The life steal on it is pretty low, but I think 2.something % is the highest you can get on a 1 hander. Before the Echoing Fury, I was using a Warmonger with 5.something % life steal, but the Warmonger is a two hander, and the difference pet hit between the two was something around 400. I get 600+ back with the Echoing, and around 1k with the Warmonger. Of course with the Warmonger, I can't use my Triumvirate and lose 27k dmg.

Re: Can anyone help my Wizard and I out?
I agree with JME it is a good idea for you to look for a wand with life steal, though I'll add make sure it is black. Forget about the fear you need life steal. Note: Once you get stronger the fear will become annoying. Also, you can actually save money by searching for crit damage instead of a soc. Edit: It is important to remember life steal works best with high weapon damage.
Tal's chest huh? Do you plan on using skills that depend on high aps?IE:Energy Twister. If not the IAS may not be as helpful as the extra defense on Zuni's.
Your crit chance is pretty high (I can't believe I'm actually recommending this) you can sacrifice some for lunis and/or storm crow. Note: I am comfortable @ 49%
Lacuni vs Inna: Lacuni is more expensive but can give better stats, Inna costs less gold but you lose random properties.
If you plan to continue to use disintegrate(not archon) you will need some apoc, also note with channeled abilities higher aps=higher ap cost. Final Note: Apoc can only appear on class specific items. There may be legendaries that break this rule but I can't think of any.
Edit: Disintegrate(both in and out of archon) get very little out of loh even lok is better, however life steal works best.
Also judging from the numbers you posted before. You should add Witching Hour to your shopping list. Get this after your armor upgrades.Last edited by NightCraweler; 11-02-2013 at 09:09.

Re: Can anyone help my Wizard and I out?
Not sure if your profile has updated yet since the other tips, but it seems what's giving you the most issue is phase beasts. First off, drop glass canon. It makes a big difference. In fact you might want to pick up Blur, the 20% decreased melee damage taken made a big difference for me! If you still have problems, try using force armor over pinpoint barrier. You may loose quite a bit of damage, but don't get too caught up in that number. You'll probably clear full runs faster overall, due to fewer deaths. Also repair bills will go down a lot, which makes it just a little faster to gather up gold.
If I was to change your setup, but keeping your offensive spells (disintegrate and hydra), it'd probably look something like this:
Teleport - Fracture (the 2 clones do help)
Blood Weapon
Force Armor
Temporal Flux, Blur, Illusionist*/Galvanizing Ward.
*Only use illusionist if it procs when taking big hits, IE when fighting phase beasts for instance. Even against teleporting phase beasts, you can teleport as soon as you get hit, allowing you to regenerate life from items (I noticed you have some life regen), and allowing you to take fewer hits every time they close the distance. I'm pretty sure their teleport skill (and affix) is on cooldowns, while yours are effectively reset each time they hit you.
This setup retains your offensive spells, adds some defensive and much needed life steal, but grants lower damage output.
Overall though I'd probably switch not use disintegrate, but archon instead. That would require some bigger changes to your skill setup though. However if you want, let us know which offensive skills you are interested in using, and we can help build your defensive skills and passives around that. Or you can take a look at which skills I use. Keep in mind I farm with around 80k damage, got 3% life steal from weapon (IIRC), and got about 1000 life regen per second. http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/K...312/hero/35256
Keep in mind those are skills from before the new patch, and also the skills don't quite match what I usually farm with. The changes I'll be making to it depends on if I play solo or party.
Party: Switch force armor for storm armor.
Solo: Still switching force armor for storm armor, drop glass canon and pick up temporal flux. However if I find I'm still having issues with phase beasts, I'll switch back to force armor from storm armor, and possibly picking up illusionist over galvanizing ward.

Re: Can anyone help my Wizard and I out?
Hey all, thanks again for the help, switching storm armor for energy armor was the first big improvement. Believe it or not, running pubs also helped a lot, as I levelled up to 30 Paragon right away. (I was skeptical when some folks mentioned it earlier in the thread, I forgot monster dmg no longer scales in multiplay.) Now I have legendaries dropping for me all the time. I bought a Tal Rasha helm, Zuni boots, and Vile Ward shoulders for less than 20 mil for all 3 items, so those helped a lot too.
But 1.07 has REALLY helped me out. I replaced Glass Cannon with the new Unstable Anomaly and just don't die on Act 3 runs anymore, and I'm playing on MP 1 now. (up from 0 a few days ago.) I also replaced Hydra with the new buffed Blizzard. But the real improvement is the Archon that can cast Slow Time. Now that Crit Mass lowers the CD on Archon itself, and the Archon Slow Time, I pretty much burn through Phase Beasts, as I pretty much have Archon and Slow Time up at all times. Maybe I'll work in teleport again instead of Blizzard and try MP 2, but for now in MP 1, my Wizard has gone from Phase Beast fodder on MP 0 to nearly unkillable on MP 1. The Slow Time is so potent a defense, I might drop Unstable and put Glass Cannon in again.

Re: Can anyone help my Wizard and I out?
Glad to hear you're kicking some phase beast ***! They desserve all the punishment they can get.
Btw if you're farming for items, best stick to MP1, or even MP0 for act 3 farming. The extra MF gained isn't worth the extra life monsters gain. Personally I prefer MP1, even though it might not be the most efficient for my damage output.
17-02-2013, 20:41 #16
Re: Can anyone help my Wizard and I out?
I like to farm on mp3. It's not that bad with 109k dmg.

(Corrects in paragraph 3 to make clear that injunction is second by a federal appeals court, not first)
* Couple says contraceptives provision violates their faith
* Court found 'substantial burden' on religious exercise
By Jonathan Stempel
Dec 29 (Reuters) - A divided federal appeals court has temporarily barred the U.S. government from requiring an Illinois company to obtain insurance coverage for contraceptives, as mandated under the 2010 healthcare overhaul, after the owners objected on religious grounds.
More than 40 lawsuits are challenging a requirement in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that requires most for-profit companies to offer workers insurance coverage for contraceptive drugs and devices and other birth control methods.
Friday's 2-1 order by a panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago in favor of Cyril and Jane Korte was the second by a federal appeals court to temporarily halt enforcement against people who said it violated their faith, said Edward White, a lawyer for the Roman Catholic couple.
The 7th Circuit suggested that the couple's legal challenge might eventually prevail.
Its order came two days after U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor declined to block the provision's enforcement against companies controlled by the family of Oklahoma City billionaire David Green.
The U.S. Department of Justice, which had defended the contraceptives provision, did not immediately respond on Saturday to a request for comment.
The Kortes, who own the construction firm Korte & Luitjohan Contractors, had sought to drop a health insurance plan for 20 non-unionized workers that included coverage for contraception, and substitute a different plan consistent with their faith.
But the Obama administration's healthcare law did not allow the change, and the Kortes said that violated the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act, or RFRA.
In issuing an injunction, the 7th Circuit majority said the Kortes had established a reasonable likelihood of success on the merits of their RFRA claim, and that the government had not yet justified the apparent 'substantial burden' on their religious exercise.
The court also said the couple had established irreparable harm, because absent an injunction they would have to choose between maintaining insurance coverage they considered inappropriate or facing substantial financial penalties.
'Business owners who are objecting to the mandate are not objecting to people using contraceptives, but that they have to arrange for and pay for it,' White, a lawyer with the American Center for Law and Justice, said in a phone interview. 'The federal government shouldn't tell business owners they have to contract to buy what they see as immoral services and goods.'
Judges Joel Flaum and Diane Sykes comprised the 7th Circuit majority.
Judge Ilana Rovner dissented. She said the Kortes were 'multiple steps' removed from the contraceptives services because it was their company paying for the coverage, and because it would be a worker, her doctor and the insurer involved in the decisions about the services and their funding.
The Kortes' case is expected to continue in the 7th Circuit.
Neither the 7th Circuit nor Sotomayor ruled on the merits of their respective cases. The legal standard for obtaining an injunction from the Supreme Court is much higher.
The case is Korte et al v. Sebelius, 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 12-3841.

This Cabernet exhibits a deep blackberry, plum, vanilla and sweet oak nose while in the flavor the blackberry, vanilla and oak take center stage in the long smooth finish. This wine goes great with grilled beef, pork and buffalo. A fine companion to hearty soups and pasta dishes.
Founded in 1972 by Bill Jekel, one of the first growers to see Monterey's potential for wine excellence, Jekel Vineyards released its first vintage (a Johannesburg Riesling) in 1978 and continues to be recognized as a pioneer in Monterey winemaking.
Bill's tireless passion for winemaking and all things Monterey led to Monterey's designation as a American Viticultural Area (AVA) in 1984, literally putting Monterey on the winemaking map.
Today, Jekel is known for crafting exquisitely distinctive varietals from Riesling and Chardonnay to Cabernet and Pinot Noir.
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others. Notable Facts...Read More About Central Coast
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes.

Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

Who has the best offense in the NL West right now? You might not know the numbers, but checking the standings, you might assume it is the Dodgers. By wRC+ or OPS+, you would be right. Who is next? The Rockies are a safe option, and indeed, their 95 wRC+ is second only to the Dodgers in the division. There is another team with a higher OPS+ than Colorado though...and that is the San Francisco Giants.
While you weren't looking, the Giants' offense has been quietly improved in 2012. Their 96 OPS+ actually ranks 5th in the National League, though their on base woes leave their wRC+ at a more familiar 88, good for 12th. Their .257 batting average is 6th in the NL despite their home park, and their .692 team OPS is above league average. Why is no one noticing this improvement?
The runs still aren't coming. While their 126 tallies are good for 11th in the league, a solid improvement over being dead last in 2011, it is still far behind what their standard rate stats would suggest. Simply, the Giants have not been producing with runners in scoring position. It would be easy to say a bad offense would be expected to be bad with runners in scoring position as well, but because I am insane, I dove deeper.
Without fail, the Giants have been below league average at the plate when the game is most on the line. This comes from an offense that hovers near league average overall, meaning an above average low leverage offense has been shrinking under pressure.
We could spin a narrative to fit this. The lineup is filled with underseasoned youth, minor league free agents, and veterans with inconsistent track records. With the knowledge that runs are already at a premium historically with the Giants offense, maybe there is some whiteknuckling going on. We would see more strikeouts and less controlled at-bats. This can be deduced at least partially from statistics.
I have not watched the Giants offense at work as Giants fans have, but this would not appear to be the case. San Francisco actually owns the National League's lowest strikeout rate. Yet they have actually struck out less frequently with runners in scoring position than without. We would not expect that from an offense that legitimate shrinks under pressure.
Even though their strikeouts increased in Late and Close and High Leverage situations, they are still below the league average. Clearly, strikeouts are not to blame for the difference in their run expectancy due to rate statistics and their actual runs scored.
Ah, yes, BABIP. Clearly, the Giants are getting their share of hits on the season when they put the ball in play, even in late and close and high leverage situations. With runners in scoring position though, they do not. It is possible that their issues are tied to poor contact in those situations, producing TulowitzkiPopUps or weak groundballs. I do not know, and I hope you don't think I would look that deeply into split stats for an opposing team. Come on. I do have a life.
As preposterous as it seems for a Rockies fan to call the Giants unlucky, it would appear that San Francisco has had Lady Luck turn her back on them a bit when a teammate is standing on second and/or third base. There might be some regression here bringing the Giants towards the middle of the pack in terms of runs scored, which would make them a legitimate threat to Los Angeles. That, however, is far from a given, as there may be some downward regression from the near-league average offense Bruce Bochy has managed to trot out there in 2012.
NL West Report
Arizona (15-20, L2, 3rd, 8.5 GB)
Last Week: 1-5. 0-3 vs. Cardinals. 1-2 vs. Giants.
You Should Know: Only the Royals (4-13) and Twins (6-12) have a worse record at home than the Diamondbacks (7-12).
Next Week: 2 game road series @ Dodgers. 2 game road series @ Rockies. 3 game road series @ Royals.
Divisional Change: Saw their deficit in the division nearly double from 4.5 games to 8.5 games.
News: Jon Paul Morosi says the Diamondbacks have checked in on the availability of Peter Bourjos. That's an odd match, as Chris Young (while hurt) hit very well to start the season, and Arizona is not lacking for a starting caliber outfielder at any of the three spots.
Ben Nicholson-Smith outlines Arizona's contract issues going into 2013.
The Diamondbacks agreed to table extension talks with Miguel Montero until after the season. They are now open to negotiating in-season, which isn't surprising given Montero's diminished power and increased strikeouts this season.
Quotable: Paul Goldschmidt on his struggles:
"I've been getting some good pitches to hit but maybe I'm fouling them or swinging and missing too many of them. But for the most part, I am swinging at good pitches and taking a good approach."
Transactions: Traded High-A Visalia LHP Michael Belfiore to Baltimore as the PTBNL to complete the Josh Bell trade (5/12).
Injuries: Stephen Drew (ankle) slid for the first time Saturday since his injury in the middle of last season. RHP Daniel Hudson threw 30 pitchers to hitters Friday. CF Chris Young is expected to start a rehab assignment tonight. Arizona hopes to have all three back late this month.
Los Angeles (23-11, L1, 1st)
Last Week: 5-1. 2-1 vs. Giants. 3-0 vs. Rockies. Los Angeles outscored their divisional rivals 36-14.
You Should Know: The Dodgers are a blistering 15-3 at home, which has helped them to MLB's best record. Two of those losses were by one run. The other was by two runs.
This Week: 3 game home series vs. Giants. 3 game home series vs. Rockies.
Divisional Change: Gained two games on the San Francisco Giants, pushing their divisional lead to an MLB-best 6 games, double the lead of any other divisional leader.
News: If the Rangers balk at committing MegaMillionsTM to Josh Hamilton, Nick Cafardo thinks the Dodgers would love to take the risk of signing Hamilton.
I really wanted an excuse to post that beastly stat line. Imagine that with Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier. I can not even faipsdngia'rnkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Buster Olney also suggests Kevin Youkilis as a fit in Los Angeles. Basically, any free agent who could command more than $5million in salary will be linked to Los Angeles. Important to know is the Dodgers' status with contracts heading into 2013.
Stan Kasten does not plan to request a new stadium for the Dodgers, insteadinvesting in improvements to Dodger Stadium.
Steve Dilbeck pleads for transparency in the Dodgers in front office. It is known Magic Johnson's ownership share is just 3%, but that is the only number we know.
There will be no talks of in-season extensions with Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw signed a two year "extension" 15 months ago and is owed $11million in 2013, but will make plenty in arbitration in his last year in 2014.
Tony Gwynn Jr. hit two game-winning RBI pinch-hits in the past week.
Quotable: Jokes are always plentiful with a team that is playing well. When asked about being ejected during the Rockies game on Mother's Day, Don Mattingly said:
"I wasn't mad. I was just tired of wearing those pink shoes." - Don Mattingly
Transactions: Optioned IF Ivan DeJesus Jr. to AAA Albuquerque (5/7). Recalled OF Scott Van Slyke from AAA Albuquerque (5/9). Recalled IF Justin Sellers from AAA Albuquerque and signed IF Aaron Miles (5/11). Released RHP Mike MacDougal (5/11).
Injuries: After being day-to-day with a hamstring injury a week ago, Matt Kemp went ahead and started all six games during the week. He left yesterday's game with a hamstring issue and will get MRI results today. Activated IF Ivan DeJesus from the 15-day DL (5/7). Placed LF Juan Rivera (hamstring) on 15-day DL (5/9). His injury may require surgery. Placed IF Jerry Hairston Jr. (hamstring) on the 15-day DL retroactive to May 7 (5/11). RHP Rubby de la Rosa and RHP Blake Hawksworth were in extended spring training rehabbing their injuries as of last Tuesday. RHP Matt Guerrier (elbow tendinitis) threw 10-15 pitches from 60 feet last Tuesday.
San Diego (12-23, L1, 5th, 11.5 GB)
Last Week: 3-3. 2-1 vs. Rockies. 1-2 @ Phillies.
You Should Know: The Padres have 6 of the top 70 draft picks in the June's Rule IV amateur draft.
This Week: 2 game road series @ Nationals. 2 game home series vs. Dodgers. 3 game home series vs. Angels.
Divisional Change: Fell two games further behind Los Angeles.
News: Steven Cohen was one of the two runners-up to owning the Dodgers. As Bill Shaikin wrote, Steven Cohen is one of five potential buyers researching the Padres financial data.
Sharon Annie Heilbrunn conducted a Q&A with Carlos Quentin, whom the Padres are paying more in 2012 than any other player.
Ken Rosenthal believes Edinson Volquez is a trade candidate. His walk rate is still way high, but thanks to PetCo Park, his ERA looks pretty awesome.
Quotable: Jesus Guzman:
"I think we're going to get better,"
Transactions: Called up LHP Alex Hinshaw from AAA Tucson and optioned CF Blake Tekotte to AAA Tucson (5/8). Transferred RHP Micah Owings from the 15-day to 60-day DL (5/8). Recalled IF James Darnell AAA Tucson (5/11).
Injuries: Placed RHP Joe Wieland (elbow) on the DL retroactive to May 7 (5/11). OF Mark Kotsay is day-to-day with back tightness, and OF Carlos Quentin may resume his rehab assignment tomorrow. RHP Tim Stauffer is expected to be activated from the DL today to start against Washington.
San Francisco (17-17, W2, 2nd, 6.0 GB)
Last Week: 3-3. 1-2 @ Dodgers. 2-1 @ Diamondbacks.
You Should Know:
This Week: 2 game home series vs. Rockies. 2 game home series vs. Cardinals. 3 game home series vs. Athletics.
Divisional Change: Lost two games to the division-leading Dodgers.
News: Ben Nicholson-Smith covered the Giants' 2013 contract issues last week.
Guillermo Mota received a 100-game suspension for a positive drug test. Mota is appealing that suspension, but has been placed on the restricted list in the meantime.
RF - Minor-league free agent
3B - Minor-league free agent
LF - Normal player
1B - .328 career minor-league OBP
CF - Normal player
C - 22-year-old rushed to majors
2B - .314 career minor-league OBP
SS - .333 career minor-league OBP
The Giants scored 7 runs and set a season high in hits.
Charlie Culberson got his first MLB hit yesterday in his MLB debut. Culberson is represented by Scott Barber of CSE, the same agent who represents Kyle Parker.
Quotable: Bruce Bochy, trying to spin Joaquin Arias as the Giants first-string 3B as positive as possible. Arias has been a below replacement level player with the Giants.
"With the job he's done, he's handled the bat and played good third base, he's been the silver lining through the Pablo injury. He's picked us up."
Transactions: Placed RHP Guillermo Mota on the restricted list and activated 1B/OF Aubrey Huff (anxiety) from the 15-day DL (5/7). Called up RHP Shane Loux from AAA Fresno (5/9). Optioned 3B Conor Gillaspie to AAA Fresno, designated LHP Travis Blackley for assignment and called up IF Charlie Culberson from AAA Fresno (5/13).
Injuries: Placed IF Ryan Theriot (elbow) on the 15-day DL (5/9). Activated LHP Jeremy Affledt from the 15-day DL (5/13). Freddy Sanchez played third base in an extended spring training game Friday, as third base is an easier angle on throws to first base than from second base for the shoulder.

Cancer Registry

- Cancer Care
- Cancer Registry
Good Samaritan Hospital's Cancer Registry ensures that our cancer program meets the strict requirements of the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. Our program also meets state and national reporting standards. This assures our patients that they receive the highest quality of care.
For patients who have a cancer diagnosis during their care at Good Samaritan Hospital, state law requires that we report this to the Northern California Cancer Center. The data is collected to help identify preventable causes of cancer, to develop strategies and policies for cancer treatment and control, and to improve the quality of life of individuals living with cancer. The information reported includes details of the type of cancer and treatment provided; the patient's name, age, ethnicity, sex, occupation, religion, address, social security number and other demographic information; and survival outcomes. This reported information is confidential and safeguards are taken in the system to ensure a patient's identity will not be unlawfully released.
Patients with cancer also may be eligible to participate in a clinical trial. Cancer treatment clinical trials are research studies designed to find better ways to treat cancer. Clinical trials often compare the most accepted cancer treatment (standard treatment) with a new treatment doctors hope will be better. Clinical trials test many types of treatment, such as new drugs, new approaches to surgery or radiation therapy, new combinations of treatments, or new methods such as gene therapy. What doctors learn in these trials helps people with cancer now and in the future.
TrialCheck, the nation's premier searchable database for cancer clinical trials, is now available through the American Cancer Society (ACS) web site (http://www.cancer.org ) and its 24-hour National Cancer Information Center (1-800-ACS-2345), giving millions of cancer patients quick access to clinical trial matches for their diagnosis and locale. All users receive an information packet from the ACS which includes summaries of protocols returned in search results. Patients can also save their searches and send them via e-mail to themselves or others for their personal use. These combined features allow users to continue to bridge the gap between patients seeking treatment options through clinical trials and the researchers who provide those clinical trials.

GREAT FALLS, Mont. (BP) -- Nearly 90 messengers and more than 50 guests gathered for the annual meeting of the Montana Southern Baptist Convention at Westside Baptist Church in Great Falls.
With the theme "Living Abundantly," messengers heard from David Uth, pastor of First Baptist Church in Orlando, who preached from Acts 27 on the need for pastors to stay focused.
The Oct. 1-2 annual meeting was preceded by a Pastor's Conference led by Curtis Crow, pastor of The Bridge in Belgrade, Mont., and Sal Sberna, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church in Houston, Texas. Sberna told how shifting his church ministries to center on biblical discipleship helped heal him and his church after he suffered from personal burnout and depression.
A pastors' wives luncheon was well-attended. Guest speaker Mary Belcher, who has been in ministry with her husband more than 50 years, encouraged wives on how to endure the ups and downs of ministry.
During the annual meeting, messengers adopted a 2014 budget of $1,054,000, an increase of $81,000 over the current year. The new budget anticipates $499,000 in Cooperative Program giving from Montana Baptist congregations, and the state convention will forward 24 percent to national and international missions and ministries, an increase of 1 percent.
Bruce Speer, pastor of Crosspoint Community Church in Missoula, was elected president of the convention, with Steve Young, pastor of South Hills Baptist Fellowship in Montana City, elected as vice president.
"I am honored to serve our churches of Montana. Our annual meeting was a real success, and we enjoyed a great spirit of unity," Speer said.
Mark Arbaugh was recognized for 25 years of service at the Baptist Campus Ministry at Montana Tech in Butte.
Tom Hellams, a vice president at LifeWay Christian Resources, announced the opening of LifeWay's first retail outlet in Montana, made possible by LifeWay Christian Stores' recent purchase of the Berean Bookstore chain, including a store in Billings.
Frank Page, president of the SBC Executive Committee, offered encouragement and challenged each Montana Baptist church to increase Cooperative Program giving by 1 percentage point of their budget.
