You've missed out some of the answers in one of today's puzzles – why?
The answer to this question used to be that some of the papers had phone lines you could ring to get an answer if you were stuck and we didn't want to be in a position where we could be accused of depriving those lines of income. However, the Independent and Guardian now make their puzzles (along with the answers) available on-line for free so this policy isn't relevant any longer.
However, you may still find that a blogger leaves out a couple of answers here and there. This could be due to a simple oversight or it could down to the amount of time available to the blogger to write his or her post.
Why haven't you blogged about today's Independent/Guardian/FT puzzle?
We aim to post every day but sometimes real life gets in the way. Internet connections go down, work builds up, children need caring for or illness strikes. There's not much we can do about that, but if someone is available to step in and provide a quick substitute blog they will.
Why do give your solving times? Isn't that just showing off?
Well, partly ;-). Solving times are not there to make you feel bad, just to give an indication of how difficult (or not) a particular puzzle is. For example, if one of the quicker solvers takes 30 mins to solve a puzzle, that's a pretty good indication that it was very tough, regardless of the fact that it may be a quicker time than you'll ever be able to manage (although with practice …).
Can you link to my site/blog?
If it's crossword related, has good content and you don't mind linking back to us then yes. Send a mail to admin {at} fifteensquared {dot} net.
Someone has posted a "placeholder", what is this?
Our aim is to have a full blog of each daily puzzle published by mid-afternoon. If for any reason this is not possible, a placeholder may be posted to indicate that there has been delay and that the blog will appear later.
What is a Nina?
A Nina is a message (or theme words etc) hidden in the grid, sometimes round the perimeter, sometimes along a diagonal or sometimes in the unchecked squares in a particular row or column (or more than one of each). Its name is derived from the American cartoonist Al Hirschfeld's habit of hiding his daughter's name, Nina, in his cartoons.
How do I add a link in my comment?
There are two ways, you can either simply copy and paste the relevant URL into your comment or you can be a little more adventurous and use HTML tags (useful if the URL is rather long). The former will be displayed thus: http://fifteensquared.net/ and the latter: Fifteensquared (or whatever text you chose).
The HTML tags are as follows: display text so if you input 15² link you will get the result 15² link.
Please note that, as comments containing multiple links are often spam, any comment containing three or more links will be put in the moderation queue and it may be some time before it appears on the site.
When using HTML tags please use the preview option prior to submitting a comment to ensure that the link displays correctly.
I have a question you haven't answered here.
Send an email to the "admin" address above. If it's one that others are asking, I'll add it to the FAQ. If not, I'll reply directly to you.

A colleague blogger: "The Travelling Fool" currently spends some time in Manila and spotted someone working on a high spot on an other hotel. The man is not wearing any protection in case he is making a fall of about 40 stories. Maybe he is sure nothing will happen to him?

Jennifer Hudson, Tony Bennett perform at Amy Winehouse gala

Updated: March 22, 2013 12:24AM
NEW YORK — Tony Bennett doesn't think Amy Winehouse's life was tragic. He believes the singer who died at 27 lived a complete life because she was able to achieve her goal: becoming a respected musician.
"Her dream was to become famous and a beautiful singer and she accomplished that," he said Thursday night at the first annual Amy Winehouse Foundation Inspiration Awards and Gala, where he received the lifetime achievement award.
"Even though she had a short life, she had a great life because she ended up praying for the success that she wanted and it happened. This is what this night's about."
Bennett, 86, was honored at New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel, where attendees included Winehouse's father, mother and brother, her ex-boyfriend Reg Traviss, Harry Belafonte, Jennifer Hudson, Sean Lennon and producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, who also was honored.
Winehouse died in 2011 from accidental alcohol poisoning. Though troubled, she was a critical darling and earned five Grammy Awards for her sophomore album, "Back to Black." The foundation established in her name assists disadvantaged youth. It was launched in Europe in 2011, and last year in the United States.
Winehouse and Bennett won a Grammy Award last year for the duet "Body & Soul." Belafonte presented the award to Bennett, and even said Bennett introduced him to Winehouse's music. He brought on the laughs before he invited Bennett to the stage. Seconds after a loud thump was heard — Belafonte's cane fell to the floor — the 86-year-old said: "Excuse me, I just dropped my teeth."
Jennifer Hudson performed three songs at the event, earning a standing ovation from the crowd of a few hundred. Bennett and Belafonte — who sat together — even curled up with their wives as the Oscar and Grammy winner belted songs like "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face."
Hudson called the event "beautiful" and said Winehouse was "such a talent, such a gift."
"Call me anytime for positivity," she said.
But she wasn't the only one who set the crowd on fire: Bennett also wowed with memorable performances of "Maybe This Time" and "Watch What Happens."
Rapper Nas, who was nominated for a Grammy with Winehouse this year for the jam "Cherry Wine," also earned an award, accepting in a video.

Open pay display
I think companies should have everyone's pay on display. A publicly available intranet site in alphabetical order with every employees name, salary and benefits next to it. Ok, so this is a bit of a shift from the secret salary world we currently live in. It might even cause a little bit of a distraction in the short term. But one thing is for sure, it will move our society to a far more accountable culture than we currently have.
Let's consider for a moment the type of behaviour this is likely stimulate:
- "I work harder than Joey, and he earns $20,000 more!"
- "I want a pay rise"
- "Holy shit, I better start working harder, I've been found out."
- "I wont get a pay rise in years"
- "She doesn't deserve that"
- "Why do sales people earn so much?"
- "Our company is a rip off, they don't pay well"
- "I can't believe how little Mary earns, she's a gun"
- "I'm gonna work my ass off to get that job – I never knew I could earn that much!"
I really believe the initial chaos would lead to a better and more transparent workplace. One where everyone understands their role, impact and the investment the company makes in its people.
In my next startup, this will be policy number one. Total transparency in all financial documents, including salaries.

interesting idea, for sure. It's a bigger cultural thing than anything…some will handle it, others won't. Read moneyball?
I'm not sure it's fairness that will result…transparency, yes. It's an inefficient market, so there will always be variety.

Josh (@sophistifunk via twitter)
I think it should be up to each corporation to decide what works most effectively for them.
@blogcatalogue (via twitter)
you go first…
I actually can't, according to my contract. oh well … *whistles*
Jonathon (@jonathonoake via twitter)
Good luck with that… I believe it's possible but all your competitors will see it and you'll open yourself up to head hunting of your employees? Plus the negotiation of salaries is still to maximise profit, but an ethical employer will pay a fair industry related price, that said you're still running a profit chasing business and need to optimise overheads ;)
Dirk (@dirktolken via twitter)
He explitly mentions "intranet", so people outside the company won't know anything.
Thoughtful post Steve,
What get's me about this debate and many others is that we have to justify openness and somehow secrecy is the norm.
In the West, we are arguably at the precipice of a steep decline. Radical change is needed, the masculine ego in particular needs to be done away with.
I believe that all in all, you get what you give. Organisations who are open and honest, in this day and age, generally win.
In fact I'd like to re-phrase the saying "Pay peanuts, get monkeys" to "Treat people like it's the industrial revolution, get zombies" (It's not so catchy but you get my drift)
Andre this statement of yours bothers me: "The (typically ignored) incentive effect of a lack of transparency (i.e. "I'm not sure exactly where I fit in the pay pecking roder, but I know working harder might keep me there, or push me higher")" — If this is how your organisation is running, it is probably boring, riddled with weak and insecure people, and hence doomed. It may still work, but it is not a model for the future.
ps. And also, isn't pay transparency already done in Government? I know people in the public service and everyone knows what the pay scale is there.
Hi Steve, another interesting topic. Some quick comments:
1. Here's what happens at Semco: "Salaries are public information unless the employee requests they not be published. In addition, all employees can set their own salary." This works well at Semco but it's hardly a traditional organisation. It's also worth noting that this is not just a one-way street either (i.e. publishing salaries only), employees decide on each others' pay packets through a democratic process. (Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maverick_%28book%29 & The Seven-Day Weekend)
2. In Finland, taxable income is public information. As with anything, this has its pros and cons. One of the side effects is the publication of annual "rich lists" by city/area and associated bold headlines in the yellow press that seem to do little else than feed people's jealousy. On the plus side, perhaps this is slowing down the increasing economic inequality, even if only a little.
3. Think what would happen all the salary guides and services like http://www.glassdoor.com/ if all pay information was public? ;)
Information is power. Secrecy is a means of control. I doubt salaries were public information at the Ford Motor Company in 1903, and I doubt this is going to change anytime soon.
Better yet, I think everyone should be forced to wear t shirts with their total remuneration package number and hourly rate printed on it. This might make managers assess whether assigning projects will achieve an acceptable return and reconsider unproductive meetings ("dude, you just wasted a total of $500 in this room with that 30 minutes of disorganised dross").
Great idea!
Perhaps this should be gamified a bit too so that the value presented would not just be the salary but a figure based on productivity, originality, revenue generation, ethics, green-ness, niceness, etc…
One week @sammartino would be at $135.56 cents per share and the next 23% higher because of the business you helped win :)
Bonuses could be tied to this too. Not only rewarding one's own success but give employees the option to invest (virtually) in their colleague's shares too as a way to incentivize collaboration.
@Lawrence – like!
Combine this with something like Pollenizer's Wooboard concept ( http://www.pollenizer.com/customer-empathy/ ) for Infinitely Variable Remuneration (TM) and I think we have a winner!
Imagine the possibilities: personal IPOs, hedging personal stocks, speculation, secondary markets, dilution etc. etc. Fun for the whole family :)
I'm seeling my @sammartino and investing in @jussipasanen.
What a great idea, if you can encourage your staff to buy into your company surely this can only be a win, win. I agree with your initial thoughts though in so far as to start with it will certainly cause a big debate on who should be paid what. I also feel its a good idea to be totally transparent with the company finances. If staff are aware of how well, or not the company is performing then they have a opportunity to change it.

BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) -- Greg Biffle raced to his second straight Sprint Cup victory at Michigan International Speedway, easily holding off Kevin Harvick after points leader Jimmie Johnson smacked the wall in the final laps Sunday.
It was the 1,000th victory for Ford across NASCAR's three national series -- Cup, Nationwide and Truck.
It was Biffle's first win since he overtook Johnson to win at MIS in August. Johnson's engine faltered with six laps left in that race. This time, he was about a second behind Biffle with three laps to go -- but a tire give way, and he dropped all the way to 28th.
Harvick was second, 3 seconds behind Biffle. Martin Truex Jr. was next, followed by Kyle Busch and Tony Stewart.

Dan attends TIFF; A Young Doctor's Notebook UK DVD pre-order; Trevor Project
As the Toronto-based filming continues for The F Word, Dan dropped by the Toronto Film Festival to make an appearance at a "pop-up" promotional party for the film. Whilst he was there, he took the time to pose with two young fans – the picture can be seen here. Filming on The F Word is scheduled to continue through to the end of September, with filming soon to take place in Ireland, before Dan moves on to filming Horns in Vancouver.
Dan has been busy filming for much of the year, and it looks like the first project we'll get to see is A Young Doctor's Notebook, a four part mini-series that is due to air on Sky Arts towards the end of the year. An airdate has yet to be confirmed, but play.com has the DVD available for pre-order, with a release date of 31st December 2012. This would imply that the first episode would go out in the first week of December; we'll keep you updated as and when we get any news. Thanks for the heads up, Titch!
In other news, Dan, who is a long-time supporter of The Trevor Project, will be taking part in a live web chat on Sunday, 16th September at 2pm EST (7pm BST). Go to the website to leave a question for Dan.

Northside Celebrates Completion Of Parkside Rehab Project
Just in time for National Homeownership Month, City leaders and neighbors celebrated the completion of a newly rehabbed home in Northside on Tuesday, the final piece in the Parkside Rehab Project.
Comprised of a three-unit condominium building on Chase Avenue and a single-family home on Mad Anthony Street, the Parkside Rehab Project aims to increase homeownership and remove blight in an area of the neighborhood needing redevelopment.
Cincinnati City Council President Pro Tem Wendell Young, City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. and Jim Cunningham, Field Office Director for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, joined members of the Cincinnati Northside Community Urban Redevelopment Corp., 8K Partners, the Cincinnati Development Fund and Northside residents for the ribbon-cutting at 4207 Mad Anthony St.
"Partnerships like the one we see here today drive progress in the city of Cincinnati," City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. said. "We're proud to work with neighborhoods to strategically invest in our own future."
The City's investment of $85,000 leveraged $127,000 in private funding for the Parkside Rehab Project.

FAQsAbout Our Picture Framing Services
Wimsey Cove Maps & Art, formerly in the Market House, is now at 103 Annapolis Street, the main street of West Annapolis. In 2007, Elizabeth opened Wimsey Cove Framing & Art in Edgewater. We will continue our picture framing business there, but we are moving our historic maps and art to the new West Annapolis store, she said.
The store features historic maps and birds eye views of places all over the world, but the emphasis is on making maps of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County available for local history lovers. In particular, we carry reproductions of the plats for many turn-of-the-century suburbs around Annapolis, including the 1890 plat of West Annapolis, the original lay-out of Wardour, and the plans for Woodland Beach and other historic subdivisions. Wimsey Cove also carries National Geographic maps & globes and gifts & books.
Wimsey Cove Featured Artists
Wimsey Cove Maps & Art features Photographs by Keri Delaney
Inspirational photographs of Sun and Sky, Land and Sea by Keri Delaney are at Wimsey Cove Maps & Art
Coming from the mid-west, Keri Delaney brings "new eyes" to our beautiful Chesapeake Bay region. In 2008, after 28 years as a professional broadcast producer and writer, Keri walked away from mass communication and redirected her passions to a singular vision, the art of landscape photography. Transcribing nature through the lens of her Nikon, "Sun and Sky, Land and Sea" is a quest for nature's awe-inspiring moments.
A native of the Great Lakes city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Keri found inspiration in Lake Michigan and the Milwaukee shoreline, in the spectacle of Summerfest---the world's largest music festival, and in the bold designs and uncluttered charcoals by her father. These memories, subconsciously stowed away in childhood, were summoned by an unforeseen career in "storytelling"--as an advertising wordsmith and producer of "moving pictures".
This exhibit brings her storytelling skills into photographs which catch the mystical allure of nature and the co-conspiracy of elemental earth, water and sky. Sharply focused, Keri's photographs bring us new truths about our world.
Wimsey Cove Maps & Art specializes in exhibiting work by Annapolis and Anne Arundel County artists. The store also features historic maps of Annapolis and "beyond." Owner, Elizabeth Ramirez says "our store is a place to celebrate local artists and learn from historic maps." Wimsey Cove is open every day of the week from 11 to 5.
Permanent Exhibit
We also have another new exhibit, Finding Our Roots on Annapolis Street, which will be on display through the end of May. The exhibit, funded in part by the Four Rivers Heritage Area and West Annapolis Business Affiliation, was created by the West Annapolis Heritage Partnership to illustrate the can do attitude of West Annapolis since 1650. Many of the maps used in the exhibit are on sale at Wimsey Cove Maps & Art. Local historians, Virginia Vroblesky and Constance Ramirez, are there on Sundays to talk about the Great Wardour Train Wreck, Luther Giddings vineyard, and the witness trees in West Annapolis.

Volkswagen moving on Up with its city car
Densely populated cities are requiring different types of private transport to negotiate them effectively. That has led to the rise of a new motoring segment known as city cars; Toyota were the first to jump in with the IQ, but now it has grown to encompass cars from all the budget manufacturers. However, Volkswagen is now in the class and predictably it has waited long enough for its rivals to show up their faults and has come in late with a class-leading option of their own. The VW Up is what they named it and here's why it has suddenly sprung the city car segment into a new dawn and smashed the aspirations of its rivals: Continue reading

I am so excited to say that as of 6:00 am this morning, I am no longer in CC debt!! I was able to pay it ALL off, stock up my Christmas fund and put some aside to buy a new pair of boots (I broke the heel of my favourite "go to" boots yesterday :( )
With my next pay next week, Christmas fund will be fully stocked and I will be able to target the small student loan.
The rest of the transfer went into my retirement account so it was instantly boosted by over 27K. So in one fell swoop my net worth is up by over 30K

This season, California-born and British-trained designer Shaun Samson has partnered with Timberland to design the footwear for his London Fashion Week MAN Day show.

Samson picked from hundreds of leather bases, laces, rivets and soles available on our website to adapt the classic boot to sit alongside his collection.
Shaun's personally-designed Timberland boots
The ease and gratification of the Timberland Design Your Own function meant the design process was effortless. The design possibilities are endless: you choose your own colours, hardware, fabrications and can even take the customisation further with your own embroidered initials.

2012 Election Reactions From Around the Right-Wing Blogosphere
BigFurHat interviews Robert Spencer, Lucianne Goldberg, Thomas Lifson, Wayne Allyn Root, and many others, to get their reactions to last night's debacle and to ask them about our road forward.
Part One -
Part Two-
» 21 Comments
The basic problem was logistics. The Repubs left seniors on their own to find their own way to a voting locations.
Had their been a little advanced planning for mail in ballots or free rides to poling places the results would have been President Romney.+2
0bama had thousands of voter centers set up to spread propaganda. Romney had what? A few hundred?+4
Talk to Ann Barnhardt lately?+2
I only watched 'part 1′ but THIS MUCH I KNOW: do not ever, ever, ever, ever, ever let Ann Coulter choose the conservative nominee again. She has never even ran a small town mayoral campaign, yet for the last two presidential elections she has lambasted anyone who didn't see "the obvious candidate, Romney". Thanks for your input Ann, and also for your other efforts on the Conservative behalf, but do shut-up now.
BFH deserves a BIG tip-jar hit from all of us regular readers who are not regular contributors. This is an unequaled website in the conservative web-o-sphere and merits support. I am donating now, and so should you.
Thanks Mom! -bfh+7
some of us don't use paypal. need an address to send a check. Agree that donations should be made.
Your mom?+2
This country pays one hell of a price for 'Freedom Of The Press'… Romney was being battered not by Obama but rather a very liberal press. This country paid the price.+5
Just looked at Ann's website. She has a good plan.0
I think I've pretty much lost my 'give-a-shit'.+5
As I've said before, I've got nothing but respect and a little red-blooded, um, admiration for Ann Barnhardt. She may be correct in her latest blog post about the Stalinesque maneuverings behind our elections. I've already taken most of the steps she suggested but I will differ in one respect: I'm going down fighting, or arguing, or just being a nuisance to liberals. I see nothing wrong with trying, however futilely, to rebuild for '16. What's to lose?+4
Let the purging of the white, crusty male of the GOP establishment begin!+2
At this point, RSM comes closet to how I feel. ObamaCare is now part of the deal and we're fucked. On your tax return in 2014, you are now commanded to supply personal medical information. Only the scumbag looters ignore the horrors of the NHS. Well that's what in store for us.
We had a chance for the SC to put an end to this earlier this year and Roberts fucked us.
There's no way to get around it, we're living in a country much much closer to the old USSR than the country our Founders gave us. And it's going to get even worse in the next 4 years.
I'll fight like hell to take the Senate in 2014 but Stacey is right. Look at the county maps for MT, MS, IN and NV-the entire states except for a few blue spots are red and we lost those seats?? Yeah, it was a razor thin victory but a W is a W.+5
More useless diatribe from cowardly impotent conservatives. It is too late to use the "legal" means necessary to overturn this country's direction. The legal means are controlled and manipulated by the left as is the news media and educational system. What's left is the MORAL road if conservatives have the guts to take it, that is, to quit funding the destruction of this country. This includes secession and setting up a new constitutional republic with safeguards against socialism. The main deterrent will not be liberals, however, it will be entrenched republicans who are content in their comfortable lifestyles–people like Krauthammer, Limbaugh, Rove, etc.+3
good luck with that con-con, you'll NEVER outspend the soros money they'll use to get the govt THEY BUY+1
Mr. Hat — I like the comment about Alexander Graham Bell.
Question: Do you know what T. Lifson was talking about when he said we have to take back the culture? Was it something more than reviving truthful civics instruction?
I have a full 25 minutes with Thomas.
I will post it tomorrow. -bfh0
Good stuff Mr. Fur!0
[...] Big Fur Hat interviews me over at iOwnTheWorld. [...]0
Great stuff. I LOVE Lucianne Goldberg.
She got a lot of us through 9/11/01, among her many great contributions.
It's all good. Thanks for doing this!0
Right on Mahtomedi
Next time I will say stick to writing books Bitc…!
Now someone can write a one word book about her, Screwed!0
Now, Obama begins his overthrow of the government. He will continually weaken, then destroy financially and politically. In fact, many of his actions will not make sense to the casual observer because most people could never fathom what he is actually after. The truth is, he feels he can only achieve his true place in government after getting the congress and the Supreme Court out of his way. And he can only do that after collapsing the economy, and more specifically financial collapse such as Germany when Hitler became Chancellor. Germany's economy had already collapsed when Hitler became Chancellor, but was very weak politically and still holding on. The government was no match to stop him and he quickly dissolved the Constitution, and the political system, then he became Fuhrer.
Obama has a little more work too do, but the end result will be the same. The current "fiscal cliff" may, or may not take place as he wants, but he has more than one way to get there. Even if it does happen, he will have too keep chipping away until he brings down that house of cards. The Democrats in the Senate only need to buy him a little more time. Signing the U.N. Small Arms Treaty will also be very helpful.0
[...] iOwnTheWorld [...]0
You know, ya'll are going to look really crazy 4 years from now when the country is still standing and is in more or less the same shape it's in right now. I'm not sure how you're going to spin Obama being the Antichrist or planning to sell us all to China or overthrow the government when it's 2016 and all he's done is be a mediocre president. It's one thing to be dissatisfied with the job he's doing: I'm not overly fond of him myself. But it's another to hate him so much that you've convinced yourself that he's some kind of evil overlord superbeing, and frankly if you want a resurgence of the Republican party you probably need weed out the folks in their tinfoil hats. People take you seriously when you focus on legit issues: not so seriously when you run around screaming nonsense.0

The Canadian dollar weakened against its U.S. counterpart even as a report showed employment increased faster than forecast in the world's 10th-largest economy.
The loonie, as the currency is nicknamed, strengthened versus most of its 16 major peers after the nation's payrolls rose by 7,300 in June, Statistics Canada said today from Ottawa, and the jobless rate fell to 7.2 percent from 7.3 percent in May. Employers in the U.S. hired fewer workers than forecast in June, showing the labor market is making scant progress toward reducing joblessness in America, which is Canada's largest trading partner.
"Global factors dominate for the Canadian dollar," said Andrew Cox, a currency strategist in New York at Citigroup Inc. "A situation where the global economy is growing slowly, but not decelerating enough to warrant further unorthodoxy from the Fed, is likely a U.S. dollar-positive scenario."
Canada's dollar fell 0.5 percent to C$1.0196 per U.S. dollar at 5 p.m. in Toronto. One Canadian dollar buys 98.08 U.S. cents.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 0.9 percent and futures on crude oil, Canada's largest export, tumbled 3.5 percent to $84.14 a barrel in New York.
Bonds Gain
Government bonds rose, with the yield on the nation's 10- year benchmark bonds dropping three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, 1.69 percent. The Bank of Canada will sell C$3.4 billion ($3.3 billion) of five-year notes on July 11. The bonds mature Sept. 1, 2017 and carry a coupon of 1.5 percent.
Today's jobs data add to evidence Canada's economy picked up momentum in the second quarter, following a slowdown that began at the end of last year. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg predicted the unemployment rate would remain unchanged and employment would rise 5,000.
"It's a mixed report, not bad news, but far from great news," Citigroup's Cox said. "The particulars of the report will likely have only a minor influence on the trajectory of the Canadian dollar in the coming weeks."
Canada's economy expanded at an annualized pace of 1.9 percent during the past two quarters, after averaging growth of 3 percent growth since the country emerged from its recession in 2009. The country has added 155,500 jobs since February.
Central Bank
Investors have been paring bets Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney will lower interest rates as concerns over Europe's debt crisis ease. Swaps trading suggest investors are pricing in a 31 percent chance that Carney will lower borrowing costs by at least 25 basis points this year, down from 76 percent odds on June 1.
Carney has held the benchmark rate at 1 percent since September 2010, the longest pause since the 1950s. The BOC will update its forecasts in a monetary policy report to be published July 18.
The loonie reached a two-year high against the euro yesterday as the European Central Bank cut interest rates to stimulate the bloc's economies yesterday, while China cut interest rates for the second time in a month and the Bank of England said it would expand its asset purchase program.
U.S. payrolls rose 80,000 last month after a 77,000 increase in May, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington. Economists projected a 100,000 gain, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey. The unemployment rate held at 8.2 percent.
"I think everyone expected a sluggish number," said John Doyle, director of markets in Washington at currency-trading firm Tempus Consulting Inc., said in a telephone interview. "There's really no reason to be owning higher-yielding currencies this week."
The loonie has gained 2 percent this year among 10 developed-nation currencies in Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes, with the U.S. dollar also adding 1.8 percent.

Hurricane Sandy,
Allegheny Technology,
U.S. Steel
CHICAGO The metals industry appeared to be well prepared Monday for the impact of Hurricane Sandy.
Ten statesConnecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia, along with the District of Columbiahad all declared a state of emergency as of Monday afternoon, with many shutting down highways and public transportation.
Nucor Corp., Charlotte, N.C., has shut down its Wallingford, Conn., rebar and wire rod mill as a precaution, president and chief operating officer John Ferriola told AMM Monday. "The only Nucor facility impacted is Connecticut. We shut it down as a precaution, for the safety of our teammates, at 7 p.m. Sunday," he said. "We will see if we can begin operations after the storm. We dont expect other Nucor facilities to be impacted at all."
Tampa, Fla.-based Gerdau said it was temporarily idling its operations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia for the safety of its employees. The company said it plans to restart operations after the storm has passed and the public is able to travel safely on the roads, which is anticipated late Tuesday or Wednesday morning.
Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel Corp. said it had idled operations at its Fairless galvanizing operation near Philadelphia for the safety of its employees. "After the storm passes, we will monitor events in the area closely to determine when the facility can resume operations," the company said. "All other U. S. Steel operating facilities and business unit locations near the projected path of the storm are monitoring the situation closely and are prepared to take appropriate action as needed."
Evraz Inc. North America shut its Claymont, Del., plate mill. "Everybody is gone. We are all shut down," a security guard told AMM. "When I came into work, they told me we are shut down until Wednesday (morning) and that we would return to a regular schedule on Wednesday." A corporate spokeswoman couldnt be reached for comment, but a local scrap broker said Evraz wasnt accepting scrap shipments Monday.
Carpenter Technology Corp., Wyomissing, Pa., noted on its Facebook page that a high wind warning was in effect for Berks County, Pa., until 9 a.m. Tuesday. "Several shifts in Reading have been impacted by the storm. Employees on the affected shifts have been contacted, and may be contacted again if the situation causes a change to our current plans. All other employees are expected to report for their normal shift, but only if they can travel safely to work," it said.
Bridgeville, Pa.-based Universal Stainless & Alloy Products Inc.s top executive said the company was open for business. "We are ... fully operational at the moment with no plans for shutdown. Of course, we are monitoring the situation," chairman, president and chief executive officer Dennis Oates told AMM in an e-mail.
Storm preparations affected scrapyards directly. Sources at Albert Bros. in Waterbury, Conn., Abbey Metals Corp. in Moonachie, N.J., and IntraGalactic Metal Recyclers LLC in Philadelphia said the scrapyards closed at noon Monday.
"We probably wont be able to open until Wednesday," a source at Abbey Metals told AMM.
Metalico Inc.s Cranford, N.J., headquarters and its Elizabethtown, N.J., facility were shut down due to evacuations in the state, a company source told AMM, while a source at Hunter Alloys LLC in Boonton, N.J., said the company would stay open Monday until conditions deteriorated. Some scrapyards and service centers in New York didnt answer phones.
An executive at brokerage firm ProTrade Steel Co. Ltd.s ProTrade International Transfer Services unit said operations at Virginia Beach and Richmond, Va., trading offices were closed for the duration of the storm.
Pittsburgh-based Alcoa Inc. hadnt shut any of its facilities as of early Monday afternoon, although this could change if the storm worsens, a spokeswoman told AMM. "We are closely monitoring facilities that could be affected by Hurricane Sandy and will take safety precautions as needed in those areas," she said. "The safety of our employees is our top priority."
Century Aluminum Co., Monterey, Calif., which has operations in Hawesville, Ky., and Mount Holly, S.C., hadnt shut any facilities as a result of the storm, a spokeswoman said.
Scores of service center operations in Connecticut and Massachusetts shut down starting noon Monday, hoping to reopen Tuesday, and many made very early deliveries in order to get their trucks off the roads.
"The highways are shut down (in Connecticut and the governor wants trucks off the road by noon," said Jack Corrigan, president of Charles C. Lewis Co., Springfield, Mass. "We are right on the Connecticut border, so it looks like everyone is shutting down. Well open (Tuesday) if we have power."
Bill Sullivan, owner of Sullivan Metals Co. Inc. and president of the Metals Service Center Institutes New England chapter, said that he and several competitors he spoke with Monday were planning noon closures. "The trucks are definitely getting off the road. The Connecticut steel industry is pretty much shut down. I would think that in Massachusetts we will be following suit, probably a couple hours later."
His company sent everyone home at 1 p.m. "I think everybody is prepared," Sullivan said. "It would be idiotic if you werent; people have been warned about this for five days."
Copper & Brass Sales Inc., Wallingford, Conn., also sent employees home, and is "keeping an eye on the storm and on the power situation" to determine "whether well be open (Tuesday)," a spokesman said.
Ellicott City, Md.-based Service Aluminum Corp. closed its offices at noon Monday in anticipation of the storm.
Delaware and Rhode Island highways were shut down by Monday afternoon. Massachusetts highways and bridges were open but travel was discouraged, transportation officials said.
Class I railroads servicing the Eastern Seaboard issued notices to customers saying shipments would be delayed by up to 72 hours, even well west into Ohio.
Norfolk Southern Corp. halted train operations in storm-affected areas for the most part, a spokesman for the Jersey City, N.J.-based railroad said in an e-mail. While the company declined to comment on the shipment of specific commodities, the spokesman added that it had made "extensive preparations ahead of the storms arrival."
"The storm has yet to make landfall, but so far we are not getting reports of significant damage to rail infrastructure, including track structure, signal systems, bridges or buildings," a spokeswoman for the Association of American Railroads said.
Several metal producers reported they were continuing to operate, including Steel Dynamics Inc., Severstal North America Inc., Allegheny Technology Inc., Constellium Inc. and Commercial Metals Co., but were closely monitoring the storm and such impacts as flooding.
The Washington offices of the American Iron and Steel Institute and the Steel Manufacturers Association were closed Monday, but staffers worked from home, according to their media liaisons.
