FHeapaKT, 1. | CDodurled on lirei imn*, ' ' Biltmore, the new North Carolina aststo of Qeorgo Vanderbilt, is a wheelman's paradise. There aro 05,- 000 acres in the ostste and the system of roadways is so perfect that Mr. Vanderbilt, who is a whecImaD, can go 0 hundred miles over a macada¬ mized road without going off bis estate. Tbo American propensity to leave money to eduofltioual instittitious seems to Harper's Weekly to be spread¬ ing across our northern bordor. Mr. H. A. Massey, a rannufacturer of Toronto, lately left 8i70,000, by will lo Methodist colleges in Canada, bo- sidoB $178,000 to Canadian charcbos and cbaritios, and 8.'i0,000 to tho American University at Washington. Says tho Lewiston (Me.) Jonrnal: k corporation wns rnnning behind un¬ der the mana^iomont of a man who wns poid 85000 a year. What di.l tbo di¬ rectors do? Tho didn't biro a cheaper man. Thoy found a better man and paid him $7600 a year, and now, as a result of his skilled improvements and intelligent economics, the corporation is making money. Tbis is a fro- qaent experience in tho commercial and industrial world. Tbe Atlanta Constitution says: After a carefnl study of tbo sitaation the oolton men of Now England have dcolded to eonipromiso tho issuo be¬ tween the cotton mills of that section and those of Georgia, Alabama and other Bonthern Btatcs, by agreeing that eoarser goods can bo mannfao- tnrod at a greater profit in tbo South while those of finer (luality can be produced to better advantage by tho eotton mills ot New England. Commander J. W. Miller, of tho New York Naval Militia, calls atten¬ tion in tbe Forum to the fact that tbo "system developed by largo corpora¬ tions haa given powers of command and habits of obedienoo to nntubors of oitiians, and bos trained employes to mnob stricter methods than obtained formerly in tho regular armies and navieaof the world." That tbo vast aooial systoma of America exercise a tremenddiu ednoational influence upon great maasea of onr people ia very evi¬ dent to tbe New York Observer; and it is pleasant to feol that in somo ro- speots at least this subordination of small armies of men to groat oommer- eial powers and organiiations is hav¬ ing a benefloial effect in tbo direction of moral disoipline aud development. The Atlantic Monthly remarks: Of the pauper and criminal classes tho Scandinavians have a smaller propor¬ tion than any other alien element ex- oept tbe Britiah. Tbe Danes, Nor¬ wegians and Swedes are particularly free from other than traditional tios binding them to the mother countries. No dramatic outburita of National aentiment on tbo other side rekindle the old enthusiasms here. As Swedes, Norwegiars and Dauus tbey fast dis¬ appear; merging, not into Soau.li- navians, but iutu Aoiericana. An Americans, they will bo builders, not destroyers; safe, not brilliant. Beat of all, their greatcat service will l>e aa a mighty steadying influeneo, re¬ inforcing those high (lunlittes which we sometimes call Puritan, sometimo; Amcrioau. JOHN P.

Bnt tho tantalizing thing was that she persist¬ ed in declining all thanks and in clos¬ ing the conversation as soon as it came to be between her and Mr. Ward alone- Ho was not satisfied, and when he once persisled, after sho bad broken tbe circuit, and calle.l bor back to thank her, she suid, "If you feci un¬ der obligations, you can repay me by letting yonr music box sing to me." Ward did uot woit for further words, but instead of windini; tho box ho seated himself at the piano and poured forth bis thanks in an impro¬ visation. He was a skilled musiciau, but his chief delight for years bad been to give expression to bis owu un- prcmelitatod thoughts upon thu pi¬ ano, and this silvery voicod girl was an inspiration. Ho ha.l never playoJ more brill¬ iantly, and ho was therotoro disap¬ pointed to find, as bo ended bis rhap¬ sody and went to tbo telphonc, that no word of acknowledgment camo for his efforts to please his unseen friend. "Coquettish, I fear, after all," mused Ward, and ho was surprised to see how much this thought grieved bim. Unconsciously to himself he had endowe.I this unknown telephone girl with all tbo sweet womnnly qualities her voice had seemed to indicate, and he could not bear to have tho illusion destroyed. Yet why should ho caru anything about a girl whom ho had nctier seen, of whom ho know nothing, save that sbo bad a musical voice and worked for ber living? That last thought was nut wholly agreeable to bim. He hn.l not outlived tho old idea that n woman must bo supported by some one, and that to labor for her owu sabsiatonou wiis inadegree lower¬ ing to her dignity. She was ignorant, ]ierhaps, of tbo necessity of making any aokn.iwledgment for bis music, and yet sho hud seemed to know whut bclougeil to gooii manners. Uo had beou very foolish to think of hor at nil. No doulit if he should see her tho disillusion would bo complete. With these thoughts bo tried to dis¬ miss her from bis mind, and was pro- vokc.l at himself to Qud that it was not altogether possible. Aftor nn hour or so thero camo u rMig of tbo tolepbouo. "It this Mr. Ward?" usked tho well, known voice. "Yes," was tho reply, rather gruiUy given. "I um nfruid you thought mo vory ungrntofiil fur yonr magnificent music," said the girl, "but thero camo a Very urgent call which took ine away beforo you wero through, nnd pro- vontod my suyiiig bow goo.l you wore to spend so much timo and skill on poor mc." Tho words wero enough to provo to Ward that hia improvisation bad been fully appreciated, but ua hero was a chance for a little conversation with her] bo determined to improve it. "You havo never allowed mo to thank you for your kindnosa to mo," ho said. "Why ihonld I expect you to thank mu for that which was only a payment of a debt?" "If you did not expect it of mo," said tho girl somcwhit faltoringly, "I ccitaiuly expected it of myself." Our friend folt that bis remark had not been iiuite kind in tone, aud hastened to say, "I'leaso do not misan- derstan.I what was a lame attempt at a pleasantry. I acknowledge that I fearod I b*.! borod or ollondod you by my long wiuded musical ooinmnnica- tion, but now that I know I was mis¬ taken I am well pleased, I huvo only ono wish now, and that you cau easily satisfy," "Aud what is that wish?" "To kuow tbo unmo of tbo young ludy wbo bus proven herself of such jreat nasiHtanoc to mo." There was u sound of laughter in tho Toico that now aaUod, "Wby do you cull mo youii;,'?" It wns utbuiii^bt that ha.l not before bU;j!gcsted itself to him. 'To bo sure it wus not inevitable that sho should bo young. Hu fult bis face riiish hotly iu thus betraying hiinsolf. Uut hu col- lecte.l his thoughts and replied gal- luutly, "Youth is Hilt a matter ol years, and both your deeds nud your voice prove thnt you huvo a young heiirt." 'The laughter was uot now subdued, but rung out in a clour, silvory peal, that was oven moro musical thuu her speech. After waiting a moment ho asked, ".\ro you not going to toll mo tbo iiiime of my a^sistnut?" "Db," roi.lie.l she caroleisaly, "I am Number Five." Mr. Word shuddered. "Number Five, like a convict without n name." He oould not call ber simply u num¬ ber. "Tliat will u.)t do," bo auswored. "If you do not tell mo your name, I shall call you M.ither Hubbard." Again thut merry laugh. Then a moment of hcsitntiou, au.l after that sbo said coldly, "My name ia Lester." Miss or Mrs. ?" asked bo, but in re- louac c.itno tho words, "That's all, guod-byo." It was but A few days after this thut War.l ai^aiu attempted tu .ipon a con- versatiou with Miss or Mrs, Lester, but eoul.l obtain no answer. His cull f.ir ".Number Five" waa responded to iu the shrill feminine tones with which shop girls p;enerally call "Cash, cash," 1 wbich nie such n terror to a sen- sitivo ear.

"Have yon no one to take care of yon?" bo oskc.l.

It certainly wus askin,? a great deal of her, but if sho trusted him sbo should not regret it. Tho answer given, with besitntiou,. wus, "I am not sure that I am doiu..; right, but I ata roully very weak, and I will trust you. You can como nt six. How will I know yon?" Ward described his borso and car¬ riage, and the place at whioh hn would be waitiug for hor, and at tbo ap¬ pointed hour was promptly ou hand. Ono after another, girlish ond wo¬ manly figures came down tho stairn and took their various ways, but no ono looked us if eipooting him. "Hua sbo fooled rao after all?" thought ho; but just as ho was con¬ cluding that ho was tho victim of a hoax, he saw a light figure coma woi'rlly dowu tho stairs, and after hesitating a moment, cross the side'- walk to where bio carriago stood. Sho was rather tall and light, her face was bidden by u veil, bnt nil doubt as to her identity wns dispollod by hor a])- prooohiug and saying in thu well- known voico, "Is this Mr. Wurd?"

The American fashion industry held its breath on Inauguration Day for a series of Big Reveals.
Word came quickly that the navy check coat and dress Michelle Obama wore to the morning prayer service at St. John's Episcopal Church was from American designer Thom Browne's pre-fall 2013 collection.
"It struck me beforehand that she could wear Democratic blue," said Simon Collins, fashion dean at Parsons The New School for Design in New York, whose alumni include Jason Wu, who designed Obama's inauguration ball gown four years ago. "Previously she might have wanted to be neutral, but now the way President Obama is asserting his Democratic values more than before, I thought perhaps blue would be a color she would wear."
The jacquard fabric of her inauguration morning dress and coat were based on a men's silk necktie, according to a White House aide. Browne is best known for the shrunken suit silhouette, with boyish high-water pants, that he introduced in menswear a few years ago. He was named the Council of Fashion Designers of America Menswear Designer of the Year in 2006.
With the Thom Browne ensemble, Obama wore a bolero-style cardigan by Reed Krakoff, who launched his eponymous brand in 2010 while remaining at the helm of Coach, which has prospered under his decade-plus of leadership.
As usual, the first lady mixed luxurious and accessible pieces. For the ceremonial swearing-in, Obama added a beaded J.Crew belt over the coat and switched out of J.Crew "Valentina" pumps ($238) into knee-high leather and suede Reed Krakoff boots (originally $1,095 at neimanmarcus.com, now sold out).
Her pearl multistrand necklace was by Cathy Waterman. Her magenta cashmere-lined leather gloves were J.Crew (originally $118, on sale for $39.99 at jcrew.com, but sold out in that color).
The first lady also wore a navy Krakoff dress Sunday for the official swearing-in at the White House.
Daughter Malia, 14, chose her plum-colored "Lady" coat and blue "Teddy" dress, both from J.Crew. Sasha, 11, wore a purple "Patrice" coat and "Carolyn" dress by Kate Spade.
Any fears that the fashion world's focus had jumped the pond to the Duchess of Cambridge were allayed on Inauguration Day.
"The novelty has worn off. We're used to the fact the first lady is cool and very stylish — but it doesn't make her any less so," Collins said. "As interest in her fashion has waned in the reactionary media, reaction from the fashion industry has grown because there is a visible effect on business. She certainly can have an effect, it's not necessarily a guarantee of success. It's a common misconception that one outfit can build a business."
Chicago-based designer Maria Pinto, who Obama wore often during the first presidential campaign, shut down her business in Chicago in 2010, citing the economic downturn and retailers' shrinking inventories.
Wu, meanwhile, has expanded his business since Obama wore his gown.
"My signature collection has had a lot of success," Wu said during a recent visit to Chicago. He just launched a contemporary collection, called Miss Wu, exclusively at Nordstrom stores and nordstrom.com. Miss Wu pieces range from $190 to $850, which is where his signature collection picks up. Although Miss Wu is for a younger customer, it retains the figure-flattering tailoring of the signature pieces that Obama has worn.
"With anything I do, I'm really in the business of dressing women," Wu said. "I don't want to create things that people can't wear."
Obama has championed that ideal in fashion, overthrowing the tyranny of the size 2 in a way that Catherine Duchess of Cambridge does not with her super-slim frame.
"Michelle Obama represents, ironically, sort of ordinary women," said Hazel Clark, a professor in Parsons fashion studies program.
Parsons has trained other designers Obama has worn, including Prabal Gurung, Peter Som, Alexander Wang, Derek Lam and Narciso Rodriguez, whose red and black dress captured the spotlight when Obama wore it the night her husband was first elected president.
"It's not so much that she influences certain items of clothing — maybe her preference for cardigans has been influential — but it's more that she is someone who dresses confidently and looks good without being seen as trivial," Clark said. "Often, associations with fashion, particularly for women, have a trivializing effect. She has cared for her appearance without being seen as a coathanger, which is lovely."
Obama wore a gray Browne dress with a black lace overlay to one of the presidential debates last fall, and she honored him last summer at the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Awards.
Browne also has designed the Black Fleece men's and women's collection for Brooks Brothers in addition to his signature line.
The first lady, who was sporting freshly cropped bangs and eyelash extensions, plans to give the Inauguration Day ensemble to the National Archives, the White House aide said.

Tesco 'back to school' by The Red Brick Road
Tesco is launching its back-to-school campaign this week.
Focusing on the quality improvements Tesco has made to its uniform, the ad shows a class of children putting the clothes through the rough and tumble of an assault course.
The kids tackle monkey bars to show off shirts with stronger seams and clamber through tunnels to test the Teflon-treated trousers and skirts.
It was created by Marcus Smith and Tom Hopkins, and directed by Luke Snellin through 2AM. It is supported by press and digital activity.

The 35-year-old woman was near Martin Dock around 8:10 p.m. when the man approached her "aggressively," sat down and began performing a sex act, then suggested she should watch him, according to the woman and accounts from police.
"I put the magazine in my gun. I cocked it," the woman said in an interview Thursday night. "I said, 'You need to leave or Ill shoot you. I'm going to blow your brains out.' "
"Oh, [expletive]!" the man declared, before running away.
The woman, whose name is being withheld by the paper because she is the victim of a sex crime, said she has never before brought her gun, a Ruger .380, with her to the lake, but she grabbed it on her way out the door Wednesday because it was foggy and dark.
"I just had a feeling," she said.
The woman who encountered the man at Lake Sacajawea said she saw the man fumbling with his belt as he approached her and her son at Martin Dock. "Miss, miss," he said, according to the woman. "Could you watch this? You need to watch this."
As the man fled, she said she sent her dog, a well-trained Norwegian Buhund Hound, after him. In time, the dog had the man cornered at the gate to Lions Island near Kessler Boulevard. She called her dog back, and the man disappeared into the darkness.

The Cayman, depending on how you view it, is either a cynical way to make more money off the Porsche Boxster or the best sports car in the world. We tend to lean toward the latter. Yes, Porsche charges nearly $4000 more for the Cayman than it does for the Boxster, and yes, that $52,850 doesn't buy you nearly as much horsepower as you can get in a Chevrolet Corvette or a Nissan 370Z. But the Cayman, which is twice as stiff as the very rigid Boxster, makes up for its spec-sheet shortcomings with unparalleled balance and reflexes. It helps that the roof traps the wail of the boxer engine right behind your ears. The Cayman is not one of those cars that will allow you to pretend you're a great driver, though--it does exactly what you tell it to, for better or for worse. For those who seek more than the base model's 265 hp, there's the 320-hp Cayman S and, new for this year, the 330-hp Cayman S Black Edition. The hottest variant remains the Cayman R, which combines a hopped-up 3.4-liter flat six with a stiffer suspension. Like the Boxster Spyder, it spares no effort in shedding weight. There's no radio or air-conditioning, the door skins are made of aluminum, the battery is a compact lithium-ion unit, and the door pulls are canvas. The replacement for the five-year-old Cayman is not far off and will, we presume, be faster and more efficient (and possibly will offer a four-cylinder engine). For now, though, this is as good as it gets.

Rated 3.9 out of 5�by 19 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by That soccer dude Rehabbing a torn hamstring I tore my hamstring three weeks ago. I have been rehabbing it, and wanted to run a 10K. I purchased this compression sleeve and ran the 10K (at a moderate pace) without any problems. I continue to use it for any sort of physical activity while my hamstring continues to heal. Great fit! Great price! Works like a charm! May 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by jc If you have a hamstring or groin issue get one of these I had a slight hamstring tear and this sleeve helped so I could still play sports. My husband has a groin pull and he uses it all the time so he can still play... You will find it very benifical. October 30, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5�by Stacy Sizing is Inaccurate The size for this compression sleeve is inaccurate. I purchased the small online because the store did not carry it. According to the lable, this should have fit my 18" size. However, it was huge. The purpose of this product is compression. So, it must be snug. There is no true 'small' in this type product that Dick's currently supplies. May 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Bl68 Great for groin Strained my groin playing soccer. Took about a month off and when I came back this support made me feel a lot better and didn't realize it was on while playing. October 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by vafieldhockeymom thigh support My 14 year-old daughter just made the varsity field hockey team at her high school and of course it's a lot more conditioning and work than she's been use to. After 2 weeks or so she wound up with a strained hamstring. Her trainer suggested I get a thigh support. Not only did the support help to keep her hamstring loose (support helps to keep the muscle warm) but it also gave her a mental boost because she didn't think about if or when the pain would come back. August 30, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Twindy Good muscle support Used it to support previously torn groin. Great support, heats up muscle and allowed me to play softball all weekend . Wore it for two days but developed a itchy red rash. Must have been an allergy to the urethane material. August 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Steve55 Does the job This did the job of giving support to my pulled hamstring. It stayed in place through a softball game. The challenge is in selecting the correct size. I had to try it on to see if it would be too loose or too tight. It was unclear how I should measure my thigh to determine size. Trying it on was the answer. July 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Alex31 Good item The groin sleeve works great besides the fact that I need to pull it up my leg often. But other thant that it works really good and supports the groin very well. I did find a trick to help keep it up and that was to fold the top of it down about half inch or so to help it stay in place. May 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by cocula great it does the job right away, i play soccer and have a leg spring when i put this product on it improved my performance October 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by hello works great I used this while I was working out or just walking and it helps me get through. It's comfortable also August 15, 2012


text: GamesBeat Great tabletop games for video gamers: Boss Monster: The Dungeon-Building Card Game Image Credit: Brotherwise Games October 9, 2013 8:30 AM Dan "Shoe" Hsu 0 Gaming is in its golden age, and big and small players alike are maneuvering like kings and queens in A Game of Thrones. Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we'll explore strategies in the new world of gaming. This new, ongoing series covers tabletop board or card games that video gamers should dig. Check here for more. Boss Monster: The Dungeon-Building Card Game Video games that Boss Monster reminds us of: Dungeon Keeper, (Tecmo's) Deception/Trapt, What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord?/No Heroes Allowed!, The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot Above: Boss Monster is like a card-game version of the classic Dungeon Keeper (pictured), which is getting a mobile update later this year.Image Credit: GOG.com Publisher: Brotherwise Games # of players: 2-4 Cost: $25 To learn: Easy (by tabletop gaming standards) To play: Also easy, with some deeper strategy to discover Noteworthy: Need proof that Boss Monster's creators love video games? Check out their old Kickstarter bonuses, including a Zelda-esque box sleeve. Forget hunting for loot — you already have it. The challenge is keeping those pesky heroes from taking it from you, Oh Lord of Malevolent Evil. In this manner, Boss Monster resembles the classic PC game Dungeon Keeper. Both share the concept of building deadly dungeons for unsuspecting (or maybe they're suspecting — who knows?) adventurers to croak in. You start with a boss character, most of whom resemble something right out of a Castlevania or Metroid game with the detailed 8-bit art style on the cards. Next, you lay down monster or trap rooms that contain treasures. Then you watch a parade of foolhardy fighters, mages, clerics, and thieves march into your gauntlet of death. Above: A sample dungeon layout. Don't let the heroes reach "Father Brain" at the end!Image Credit: Brotherwise Games Boss Monster is extremely simple to play, and at first glance, it might seem to be devoid of depth. But you want the heroes to come to your side of the table. (You win by killing them and being the first to gather 10 points worth of souls.) So the strategy comes from knowing when to place the right bait and making sure your chambers will properly whittle down the treasure seekers' health to zero. Maybe you don't want Nate the Squidslayer to enter your dungeon just yet, because the warrior has too many hit points for your current setup to handle. But Jerome the Kung Fu Monkey with his 8 measly HP? Bring it on. Setting up the rooms and supplementing them with spells require some planning as well. It's awfully rewarding when an epic hero confidently strolls through your Haunted Library, Zombie Prison, Dizzygas Hallway, Bottomless Pit, and then Succubus Spa (our fave) with just enough health remaining to reach your boss card, only for you to teleport him back to the beginning to run through all your deadly traps and monsters again. Bottom line: '80s-Nintendo-generation gamers need to check out Boss Monster — they'll love its charming art style and old-school gaming references. Plus, who wouldn't love the idea of squishing little heroes into pixelated pulps? Turns may go a little long when players start working out all the different possible strategies in their heads, so consider yourself warned. (Two or three players seem ideal to minimize downtime.)

Given enough chances, every hiring manager will eventually hire someone incompetent – it's as inevitable as death and taxes. And just as fun.
Some managers notch their first bad hire quickly, while others might go years before their first major hiring mistake. But if you hire enough people, eventually you'll pick someone who doesn't work out.
To boost the chances of preventing that hiring misstep, there's one easy tactic everyone should take in an interview: Stop asking candidates to evaluate their own abilities.
Here's why. Underskilled candidates consistently overrate their abilities, and more skilled candidates consistently underrate their abilities. There's even a name for this: the Dunning-Kruger effect, a psychological research finding that the poorest performers are the least aware of their own incompetence.
Related: How to answer the most common job interview question
Here's an example: Let's say you have two candidates applying for an open position. You ask both job applicants during the interview, "On a scale from one to 10, how proficient are you with Excel?"
The highly skilled person will typically rate themselves lower on the scale than the less-skilled person. It may sound bizarre, but once you look for it, you'll see it everywhere.
Setting standards
Top performers set higher standards for their own performance, so they judge themselves more harshly than low performers. The more candidates know about Excel, the more they realize how much they do not know about Excel. Consequently, the better people will typically underrate their expertise on self-evaluations.

Low sperm count means that the fluid (semen) you ejaculate during an orgasm contains fewer sperm than normal. A low sperm count is also called oligospermia (ol-ih-go-SPUR-me-uh). A complete absence of sperm is called azoospermia. Your sperm count is considered lower than normal if you have fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen.
Having a low sperm count decreases the odds that one of your sperm will fertilize your partner's egg, resulting in pregnancy. Nonetheless, many men who have a low sperm count are still able to father a child.
The main sign of low sperm count is the inability to conceive a child. There may be no other obvious signs or symptoms. In some cases, an underlying problem such as an inherited hormonal imbalance, dilated testicular veins or a condition that blocks the passage of sperm may cause signs and symptoms. Low sperm count symptoms may include:
See a doctor if you:
The production of sperm is a complex process and requires normal functioning of the testicles (testes) as well as the hypothalamus and pituitary glands — organs in your brain that produce hormones that trigger sperm production. Once sperm are produced in the testicles, delicate tubes transport them until they mix with semen and are ejaculated out of the penis. Problems with any of these systems can affect sperm production. Also, there may be problems of abnormal sperm shape (morphology), movement (motility) or function. Often the cause of low sperm count isn't ever identified.
Low sperm count can be caused by a number of health issues and medical treatments. Some of these include:
Overexposure to certain environmental elements can affect sperm production or function. Specific causes include:
Other causes of low sperm count include:
A number of risk factors are linked to low sperm count and other problems that can cause low sperm count. They include:
Infertility caused by low sperm count can be stressful for both you and your partner. Complications can include:
You should start with your family doctor or a general practitioner. However, he or she may well refer you to an infertility specialist.
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
Some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask additional questions during your appointment.
Some questions your doctor may ask you include:
When you see a doctor because you're having trouble getting your partner pregnant, he or she will try to determine the underlying cause. Even if your doctor thinks low sperm count is the problem, you and your partner may both need tests to rule out other causes of infertility and to look for any underlying health problems. Testing and diagnosis may involve the following:
This includes examination of your genitals and questions about any inherited conditions, chronic health problems, illnesses, injuries or surgeries that could affect fertility. Your doctor may also ask about your sexual habits and your sexual development.
A low sperm count is diagnosed as part of a semen analysis test. Sperm count is generally determined by examining semen under a microscope to see how many sperm appear within squares on a grid pattern. In some cases, a computer may be used to measure sperm count.
To collect a semen sample, your doctor will have you masturbate and ejaculate into a special container. It's also possible to collect sperm for examination during intercourse, using a special condom. Sperm counts often fluctuate. In most cases, several semen analysis tests are done over a period of time to ensure accurate results.
New sperm are produced continually in the testicles and take about 40 to 76 days to mature. So, a current semen analysis reflects your environment over the past 2.5 months. Any positive changes you've made won't show up for a period of several months.
One of the most common causes of low sperm count is incomplete or improper collection of a sperm sample. Most doctors will check two or more semen samples over time to ensure consistency between samples. To ensure accuracy in a collection, your doctor will want to:
Normal sperm densities range from 15 million to greater than 200 million sperm per milliliter of semen. You are considered to have a low sperm count if you have fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter or less than 39 million sperm total per ejaculate. Your chance of getting your partner pregnant decreases with decreasing sperm counts. Some men have no sperm in their semen at all. This is known as azoospermia (ay-zoh-uh-SPUR-me-uh).
There are many factors involved in reproduction, and the number of sperm in your semen is only one. Some men with low sperm counts successfully father children. Likewise, some men with normal sperm counts are unable to father children. Even if you have enough sperm, you're much more likely to get your partner pregnant if at least half of your sperm have normal forward movement (motility).
Depending on initial findings, your doctor may recommend additional tests to look for the cause of your low sperm count and other possible causes of male infertility. These can include:
Treatments for low sperm count include:
Sometimes male fertility problems can't be treated, and it's impossible for a man to father a child. If this is the case, you and your partner can consider either using sperm from a donor or adopting a child.
There are a few steps you can take at home to increase your chances of getting your partner pregnant:
Evidence is still limited on whether — or how much — herbs or supplements might help increase sperm count or overall sperm health.
Although there is no conclusive information on the benefit of dietary supplementation, certain vitamins, minerals and amino-acids may improve sperm count or sperm quality. They include:
Talk to your doctor before taking any herbal remedies or supplements, as some can cause harm when taken in high doses (megadoses) or for extended periods of time.
You should avoid some known factors that can affect sperm count and quality:
