The Dollar Index fell for the third time in four days while stocks and commodities advanced as an unexpected contraction in American manufacturing fueled bets the Federal Reserve will maintain its pace of stimulus.
The Dollar Index, a gauge of the currency against six major peers, slid 0.9% to 82.665 as of 3:34 p.m. in New York. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index increased 0.3% after the benchmark gauge posted its first consecutive weekly declines since November. The 10-year Treasury yield was little changed at 2.12% after earlier climbing as high as 2.19%. Nickel and silver surged at least 2% and oil rallied 1.5% to pace commodity gains. Turkey's stocks, bonds and currency slid amid anti-government protests.
U.S. manufacturing unexpectedly contracted in May at the fastest pace in four years, indicating the industry will provide scant support for the world's largest economy, according to data from the Institute for Supply Management. A separate report from the Commerce Department showed construction spending increased 0.4% in April, less than half the median pace predicted by economists in a Bloomberg survey.
"In terms of the Federal Reserve, we can now say with even more confidence that there is literally zero chance the Fed announces any adjustments to its QE program in June," Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at broker-dealer BTIG LLC, wrote in a note to clients. "It's too soon to wonder whether 'bad news is good news' again but we hope today's report is not the start of a trend."
Dollar Weakens
The U.S. currency weakened against 15 of 16 major peers as the yen strengthened beyond 100 per dollar for the first time in almost a month. The Aussie dollar jumped 1.9% to 97.55 U.S. cents before a Reserve Bank of Australia policy meeting tomorrow. The rand rallied 2.6%, rebounding from a four- year low.
Global bond markets posted their biggest monthly losses in nine years in May, with the over $40 trillion of securities in the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Broad Market Index falling 1.5% on average, led by a 2% drop in Treasuries.
Thirty-year Treasury bonds increased today, sending yields down one basis points to 3.27%. Two-year rates slipped less than one basis point to less than 0.29%.
Concern that Fed stimulus is poised for a reduction is taking a bigger toll on confidence in bond markets than stocks, based on options trading.
Equity Volatility
Indexes that measure expected volatility in equities are diverging by the most in a year compared with Treasuries, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Bank of America Merrill Lynch's MOVE Index, which tracks option projections for swings in U.S. government debt, climbed 62% to 79.99 in May. That's three times the monthly increase for the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index of S&P 500 contracts, the data show.
Consumer staples, energy and utility companies led gains among the 10 main groups in the S&P 500 today.
Merck & Co. and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. jumped at least 4% as the companies' new experimental drugs showed promise. Intel Corp. surged more than 3.2% after FBR Capital Markets upgraded the chipmaker's shares. Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. dropped at least 1.3% as financial companies retreated the most among 10 groups. F5 Networks Inc. slid 6.6% after Morgan Stanley cut its rating on the maker of data-management equipment.
The S&P 500 sank 1.1% last week, paring its 2013 advance to 14%. The index is down about 2.5% from a closing record on May 21 as investors debate what the Fed's next move will be.
'Healthy' Pullback
"We view the pullback as healthy within the framework of the long-term uptrend," Katie Stockton, chief market technician at Stamford, Connecticut-based MKM Partners, wrote in note yesterday. "Our intermediate- and long-term momentum indicators remain supportive of the uptrend. Initial support is near 1,600, and our long-term target remains 1,780."
The S&P 500 has risen for seven straight months which, combined with its strong start to the year, may indicate further gains for stocks in June, according to Sam Stovall, S&P's New York-based chief equity strategist.
A seven-month winning streak has happened 13 times since 1945 and it has led to advances of 0.4% on average in the eighth month as stock prices rose 62% of the time, Stovall wrote in a note today. The S&P 500's advances in January and February may also help as the benchmark U.S. equity index has returned annual gains in each of the 26 years with such a positive start since World War II. The strong starts to the year have been followed by increases of 1% in June compared with its normal flat performance.
'Upside' Surprise
"Could sell in May have started in the end of the month, rather than the usual? One could easily infer that from the performance of the last three days," the strategist wrote. "However, history says, but does not guarantee, that the S&P 500's performance in June could surprise to the upside."
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index fell 0.8% today, trimming a drop of as much as 1.2%.
Roche Holding AG sank 3.7%, the most since 2011, after a study showed that its Avastin drug failed to extend the lives of patients with a type of brain cancer. Munich Re and Hannover Re slipped at least 2.8%, leading reinsurers lower, as storms across central Europe caused rivers to swell, flooding Prague. Polymetal International Plc added 1.9% after JPMorgan Chase & Co. raised its rating on the shares.
The cost of insuring corporate bonds with credit-default swaps rose for a fourth day, to the most since April 26. The Markit iTraxx Europe Index of swaps linked to 125 investment- grade companies increased four basis points to 108 basis points.
Emerging Markets
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index lost 0.7%, extending last month's 2.9% drop. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of mainland companies listed in Hong Kong sank 0.5%. India's Sensex slid 0.8% after factory output in May fell to the lowest level in 50 months. Russia's dollar- denominated RTS Index slipped 0.9% as manufacturing slowed, while Brazil's Ibovespa rebounded 0.5% after slumping 5.1% last week.
The yield on Turkey's two-year notes jumped 71 basis points to 6.78%, the biggest increase on record, and the lira declined for a fifth day, while the nation's benchmark equity index tumbled 10%, the most since 2003. Clashes in Istanbul began May 31 and continued late yesterday in Ankara and Istanbul as protesters took to the streets calling for Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to resign.

Internships present entry path to Michigan economy of the future
Griffin Moores | MLive.com
"It can't just be any internship though," he said.
"It has to be one where kids who are going to be graduating from college get an opportunity for an internship that has a reasonable chance of turning into an opportunity for employment."
Glazer's Ann Arbor-based think tank, as well as many others across the state, view Michigan's "brain drain" exodus of recent college graduates as something that can be combatted with the right combination of job opportunities and a cultural shift."Young people want to go where there's good quality of place and where other young talent is concentrating. That's what Michigan is having problems with and why so many of our talent young people go to Chicago."
The age-group Glazer focuses on, "Millenials," includes Americans between the ages of 18 and 30, currently a cohort of approximately 70 million nationwide.
Only 35.7 percent of 2011 graduates from the University of Michigan and 54 percent of Michigan State University graduates who were employed upon graduation reported that their jobs would keep them in Michigan, according to surveys by the schools.
About 20 percent of U-M grads reported find jobs in either New York or Illinois, with the majority of those concentrating in New York City and Chicago.
The problem appears to be a Catch-22: Michigan needs a higher concentration of talented young people, but talented young people tend to gravitate where there are already higher concentrations. New companies like Intern in Michigan are working to help break that cycle.
"The years immediately following college can be a major indicator for where someone will ends up living," Intern in Michigan director of communications Mike Gentile said.
"Internships are an excellent way to retain people, engage them, and keep them in a community."
"Today, internships can be excellent ways for kids to really figure out what they're going to do, get a leg up and a foot in the door," he said.
"Employers realize that they're not just to make coffee and copies, that they have real skills that can help them with what they're trying to do."
Intern in Michigan uses an "online dating" style of questionnaires to match compatible students with employers.
"On normal job boards like Monster, an employer will post a job opportunity on one side and on the other side a student will post a resume. The employer either doesn't get any results or they're inundated with thousands and searching through can be daunting," he said.
"For students, you become a needle in a haystack and you just cross your fingers and hope someone comes across you."
On Intern in Michigan's site, employers post detailed job descriptions including what skills they are looking for and what potential interns will learn. Students are then matched with employers based on what skills sets they posses and what type of opportunities they are looking for.
As responsibilities in the internship increase, Glazer and Gentile both believe that employers will look at internships more as on-the-job training programs then "use them and lose them" temporary labor.
"It's beneficial for both sides," Glazer said.
"For the employer, it's a tryout and they can determine if this kid can do the job. For the intern it's a chance to see that there are really good job opportunities right here in Michigan."
Former internship coordinator at Michigan State University Paul Jaques said in the last few years he's seen an increase in students from Michigan wanting to stay in the state after graduation.
"It actually hurts that so many people talk about how everyone's taking off," he said.
"I think students see an opportunity here to help rebuild the state back to what it was. But they still need opportunities, when companies tell them that taking an internship gives them the potential of coming on full time students see that as a big opportunity."
Interns are currently working across the state for companies large and small, and even at the state government as they attempt to find a good fit for their post-graduate careers. According to a University of Michigan "exit survey," students who had completed at least one internship were about 7 percent more likely to be employed upon graduation than those who hadn't.
Even more telling, a Michigan State University survey of graduates showed that of those who found employment, 14 percent used a previous internship to secure their first job out of college.
"If they intern here, and then find a job here, they will stay here," Glazer said.
"And that momentum can help create the positive cultural vibrancy we need."

Adriana Cisneros is the mother of young children, wife of an author, daughter of a mogul and now CEO of one of the world's most interesting and powerful global conglomerate. While she is comfortable in all of those roles, she still is adjusting to the last one.
In making that adjustment, a lot is a stake.
If all had gone according to plan, Cisneros said she would be running a news agency somewhere in the United States that would report on Latin America.
Instead, she now occupies the corner office of a Coral Gables office tower from which she runs the Cisneros Group, a family-owned, multibillion dollar media and real estate enterprise. Its programming spans more than 90 countries and five continents.
When Cisneros ascended to the role of CEO last month, she became the third generation to run the 87-year-old company founded in Venezuela by her grandfather, Diego Cisneros. Only 33, she is candid about the pressure that places on her to create a strategic vision and succeed: "In family businesses, the third generation is the one that ruins the business. I think there's only a five percent survival rate. I want to be part of that five percent. Not only that, but I want to be able to hand over something to the fourth generation that is healthy, stable and strong."
While it may seem like a risk to put a young woman with only eight years experience at the helm of a global empire with revenues of more than $1 billion, nothing has been left to chance.
As Cisneros settles into her new leather CEO chair, she takes the next step in a carefully orchestrated five-year preparation process that her father, Gustavo Cisneros, described as "meticulously organized and properly planned."
The process included hands on mentoring and academic reinforcement. Although she has an undergraduate degree from Columbia University and a graduate journalism degree from New York University, experts identified her leadership weak spots and customized a nine-month Harvard MBA program to bolster her skills in those areas. She also received one-on-one tutoring in finance from a Harvard professor.
Of course, Cisneros' education includes years of shadowing her father as a young child and seeing a possibility that she one day would take over. She joined the Cisneros Group as an employee much earlier than she had planned. She thought she would join in her 40s, but said she realized it needed to happen at age 25 when job interviews at media companies went nowhere after hiring executives discovered her family business.
For the past seven years, Cisneros had lived in New York and carved a strategic niche for herself by creating Cisneros Interactive, the company's digital media division. She focused on getting into mobile and online advertising networks, e-commerce, social gaming, and crowd-funding. "There wasn't a clear road map, so of course I went straight into innovation," she explained. "I started pushing for digital strategy and we were able to make some pretty radical changes within the company in terms of content and how we were thinking about media."
Cisneros said she experimented with digital initiatives in Venezuela where the company controls the full cycle of the TV experience from production to broadcast to marketing. Some early wins gave the top leaders confidence to give her latitude.

The Bowery House is a fascinating place to stay. It's like stepping back in history and getting a very small insight into life in a by-gone era. The cabins are small, however the price location balance makes that ok. Bathrooms are communal, but clean and well looked after. There is free wifi and drinks and snacks available to buy at... More
- Also Known As:
- The Bowery House Hotel
- The Bowery House Hotel New York City
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Our property, 220 Bowery, was built in 1927 as a manufacturing building. It operated in this capacity until it was reborn as The Prince Hotel in the 1940's to serve as temporary lodging for soldiers returning home from World War II. All floors of The Prince Hotel were rebuilt with single room cabins that were just large enough for a bed and storage of essential items. The bathrooms were made communal so that the hotel operators could maximize its occupancy and house as many soldiers as possible. With its prime location and easy access to vices such as gambling, prostitution and saloons - some of the soldiers never left and decided to make the majority of the 200 cabins their long-term homes. It was in these single rooms that many of the Bowery's most eccentric characters lived for decades adding to the lore and drama of New York's former skid row. At The Bowery House, we have decided to preserve and restore every detail of the remarkable 1940's cabin craftsmanship and in turn provide unique, authentic and historic accommodations to travelers from around the world. Part museum and part hotel, we hope you enjoy not only the neighborhood but also the living history that is The Bowery House. ... more less

I bought this 6-drawer dresser one month ago, and I was very pleased with the assembly, delivery, and appearance...BUT...the inside of the drawers have stained all of my clothes! I had white and light colored clothing in the drawers for only this short time, and I noticed a couple of days ago that there is yellow stain from the bottom and sides of drawers rubbing off on all of my clothes! I have to wash all of my clothing now, and just hope that the furniture stain comes out...if not, then I guess this dresser was not worth the sacrifice of my entire wardrobe.Please be warned to use drawer liners before putting anything into these drawers!!!! Please do not make the same mistake that I did! If you are not willing to line the entire set of drawers (sides and bottom) then I would not recommend this dresser for you. I can only assume that the whole set of this Aristo furniture would be the same way.
My girlfriend and I saw this set of furniture on Overstock at separate times, independent of each other. When I sent her the link to ask her opinion she had already seen it and was already thinking of buying. I took the plunge first ordering the 6-drawer chest, 5 drawer lingerie and a nightstand (limited room for two night stands). The reviews were all very good so I was pretty confident that I would like it when it arrived. i was not disappointed. The items came in a total of 5 boxes, about a week after I ordered them. I knew I did good when I saw how heavy the boxes were. I opened the first box (the nightstand) and was impressed with what I saw. The pieces were very well packed to minimize movement, and individually wrapped in soft foam to protect the finishes. The finish and feel was fantastic, having a nice dark, warm tone to it. My girlfriend and I put it together, and the first thing I wanna say is powertools ;-). With all the screws using a drill or power screwdriver will make things go much faster, unless of course you want your wrist/arm to get a work out. The instructions were pretty clear , and once we had all the parts laid out it was simple to follow. Didn't run into any problems with screw holes not matching, as everything fit together well. As someone who has put together my fair share of furniture I was pretty impressed with that. It did take us close to three hours to put together, but thats cause we were taking our time (and did make one mistake). Once we had it put together we were both impressed with the finished product. Very stable and solid feeling, with good weight behind it. We were both very happy with the look, and were looking forward to assembling the other two pieces. Those two went faster (about 2 hours each) since we already had some practice in with the nightstand. Same good quality as the first piece, and they look great. In these larger pieces we noticed some areas where edges didn't quite line up or fit exactly, but very minor and hard to notice unless you know its there. One of the drawer fronts had a small scratch, but Overstock is already working on sending the replacement, so it all good. So, to conclude, we both like the set very much, to the point that she has ordered 4 pieces for her place and I ordered another night stand and 4 drawer chest. It's great quality and you can't go wrong with the price. Don't be put off with the assembly - once you put together one piece you'll the other pieces will go much faster, as the layout and technique is the same for all. A couple of items to note for assembly: 1) use power tools if available, 2) layout and organize the pieces (there will be lots of them), 3) checkout the position and layout of the drawer rails (that was our first mistake) 4) easy with the screws, as the heads do strip, especially if using a power tool.
Bought this chest, the 4 drawer dresser and the night stand after looking around town for something less expensive. My concern was putting it together after reading the other reviews. It took a couple of hours each for the two big pieces. It was simple if you follow the instructions. I love it!. I painted my walls a deep tangerine and this furniture looks wonderful in the room.Heavy REAL WOOD. All the drilled holes were percise making all the drawers line up perfectly. I wish I had room for another piece. With the shipping price as low as it was, it was well worth putting it together. I sit back looking at it all and can hardly believe I did it myself! I will take the tips about lining the drawers. Thanks!
Great piece of furniture. Came in 2 large boxes. Instructions were easy to follow, yet could have been more clear in a few areas. However, if you take your time, this piece is easy to put together. I did it by myself and it took about 3.5 to 4 hours. Well worth it. It's sturdy and looks great. Everything fit together perfectly. The drawers are all lined up well, etc. Sometimes this doesn't occur with mailed furniture that requires home assembly. I would definitely recommend this dresser, especially at this price point. Great value. It really looks great.
This chest of drawers is heavy after it is put together. All pieces were there and no damaged pieces. I chose it because of the space under the top to put a dvd player. Just under the flat screen tv on the wall right over the chest. I also ordered the matching night stands that are a great size to fit in a smaller room with a king bed.
I love this chest! Very well made, but lots of pieces to put together. My husband and I put it together and it took us a few hrs but worth it. It does come in 2 boxes and very heavy so you definitely need help lifting the boxes. I would recommend this if ur looking for something that's inexpensive but good quality. I want the nightstands next.
I was pleased and impressed with the quality of this product with the exception of one design flaw. Once everything was assembled, I noticed that the lower three drawers did not align with the other two rows. The bottom three were about 1 inch pushed in. It looked really bad and cheap with the drawers off like that. I had to use pieces of the Styrofoam packing strips, about an inch thick, to glue to the inside of the pack panel to function as drawer stoppers. That did the trick and all the drawers aligned nicely. I think it is a design imperfection; I should not have to use the packing pieces as part of the assembly. When they engineered the product, they failed to make sure that all the drawers aligned. They need an extra piece added to the design so that the bottom three drawers align with the top two.
There's nothing with this dresser as a dresser. It's sturdy, and looks like the picture, although I agree it's more dark brown than black. Once complete, it's heavy and will fit a lot of clothes and shouldn't fall apart anytime soon. There's no sense denying it though, putting it together is a damn chore. I normally enjoy (or at least don't suck at) assembling furniture, but this dresser took me far longer than I desired or anticipated. I don't know who these wizards are that allege in their reviews a shorter assembly time, but I was at it for a good six hours. At the end of the day, that affects my perception of overall value--six hours of my time at an average wage, plus the cost of the dresser, is about the same as a decent already-assembled dresser. Before you buy, I think it's worth monetizing your time and thinking about how long these sorts of projects take you and whether you want to or can carve out at least six hours. If it's still worth it, it's a good and stylish dresser.
The Aristo 6-drawer chest is a fantastic piece of furniture. This is my third piece of furniture from the Aristo line. Previously, I bought the bed-side tables and the cabinet. The rubber wood is lovely a rich dark espresso color. The quality of the wood is excellent. The style is contemporary and looks great! I love that you can hide items on the top in the small area there. This chest looks looks like I paid over $****! Putting it together was very easy. The holes are well drilled and lined up. The directions were easy to follow. All my friends have commented on how nice the chest is. This was a great product. I highly recommend it and the rest of the Aristo line. I love this furniture line.
This 6-drawer chest was a great addition to my guest room. It arrived in two boxes and was in excellent condition upon arrival. I have to admit that I was a little concerned that it would be a complicated task to assemble, but the instructions were very clear. I was not in a hurry to assemble it so I did it over two days. Overall the assembly took about 3 hours. I am very pleased with the finished product. I particularly like this drawer because I am able to place my flat screen television on it and utilize the shelf below for my cable receivers. It is very sturdy and worth every penny!

ALBANY -- If you've ever texted while driving on the Thruway, there's yet another reason to put your phone down.
Police on the New York State Thruway are running "Operation Hang Up" for four days beginning Monday.
The operation will target New York State Thruway drivers using hand-held cell phones illegally for texting or talking while driving. Governor Cuomo signed a bill in July that made texting while driving a primary offense, in response to several fatal accidents in New York.
State Police Commander Major Robert Meyers says drivers who use a hand-held cell phone while driving should expect to receive a ticket.
A ticket for texting while driving can lead to a fine of up to $150 and put two points on your license. Talking on a cell phone while driving can put three points on your license. Troopers issued almost 1,000 tickets during a similar operation last fall.
The bill signed by Governor Cuomo also made it illegal to use a cell phone for other purposes while driving including to check your e-mail, browse the internet, or play games.
Do you think the penalties for texting or talking while driving are fair? Leave your comments below.

Being a girl I am always worried when I have car trouble because I don't know a lot about cars. But they had friendly service and my car was done quickly. Thanks
A good friend of mine recommended them to me. I'm now a repeat customer. Every experience had been enjoyable both in service and their warm attitude. Only mechanic I will go to. A definitely recommend..
Very experienced and trustworthy mechanics!! The visuals in the shop are like no other. Excellent service and always very fast turn-around time. I never feel like they're ripping me off. Great place!!!
I have been a customer of B & R Starters for over 22 years since 1990. Always great service. They take care of their customers. I would highly recommend B & R Starters.
Not satisfied – I had a problem with my transmission. There was a hole in my transmission, it was on fire. I called B & R Starter and told them my problem, they said I could bring the van to them. I paid a towing company $100.00 to bring my van to B & R Starter. The next day they called me saying that they don't deal with transmission. Why didn't they tell me that when I called them telling I had a problem in the transmission? I could spend $100.00 towing the car for a mechanic that would solve my problem. And they put transmission oil in my van and charged me $20.00. They knew there was a hole in my transmission. They just waist transmission oil and made me pay for that. I'm not happy with them.
Very dependable service – Other shops that I have been to don't offer half as many options as this one does. That is one of the biggest reasons why I have kept coming back. Also the reliable work, of course.
Best service – My Camry needed a few fixes and I took it to B & R and they had it taken care of within hours and with a great price.
Nice place – Great mechanic. Quick and courteous service. Highly recommend.
Honest Mechanic – Good quality for the price an honest mechanic!

Cycling has become increasingly popular, both for pleasure and for convenience. For men in particular it is worth knowing that adjusting your bike correctly, taking intermittent rests and wearing the correct clothing can prevent some of the more common complaints.
This article on cycling and impotence is written by Vinod Nargund, Consultant Urological Surgeon, St Bartholomew's and Homerton Hospitals, London.
With the lack of availability of spaces for parking their cars more and more people who work in the cities resort to alternate forms of transportation. Amongst them bicycle riding is an appealing one as it is a good form of recreation, a means of fitness and transportation worldwide. Saddle related injuries are important in men because of presence of male sexual and reproductive organs between the thighs.
The saddle abuts directly onto the perineum behind the scrotum where the nerves and blood vessels are entering the penis. This area is sensitive and has hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands. Abrasions, chafing, folliculitis in the perineum, lacerations and bruises of the skin are the most common traumatic injuries. Other problems include perineal soreness and groin skin problems due to sweating.
Cyclists may also complain of genital numbness and even of impotence. The main reasons cited for these problems include impaired blood supply and pressure on the nerves of the penis as studies on volunteers have shown that cycling in a standing position does not alter penile blood supply after exercise and remain the same as before exercise. Numbness of the genital region is reported by more than 60% of the cyclists. There is a higher incidence of numbness and erectile problems in men who cycle regularly on longer training distances. Penile blood flow is affected due to the compression of vessels by sitting on the saddle.
This may be accentuated by the hard surface of the saddle which could be a reason for penile numbness and impotence in long-distance cyclists. It is important therefore to take rests intermittently during prolonged and vigorous bicycle riding and to restrict the training distance.
Know your bicycle well. The modern bicycle consists of a frame with various components, including handlebars, brakes, wheels, pedals, and gears, in various configurations for the various modes of cycling. For high performance cycling the proper fit of the bicycle is critical. This can be achieved with bikefitkit. Make sure that a proper frame selection and adjustment is made for your posture, height and balance by following simple guidelines for frame size, seat height, fore and aft saddle position, saddle angle, reach and handlebar height. The human body functions well with a narrow range of pedal resistance to effort. Riding at too much pedal resistance is a major cause of overuse problems in cyclists.
Managing saddle-related injuries or irritations may also involve adjusting seat height, angle and fore and aft position in addition to changing the saddle. Padding in the saddle and shorts play an important part in preventing saddle-related problems. There are different kinds of saddles available in the market. There are no details about their scientific validation.
Other less common symptoms include priapism (constant erection of penis), penile vein thrombosis, haematuria (blood in the urine), prostatitis (inflammation of prostate) and elevated serum PSA (prostate specific antigen - one of the blood tests used for prostate cancer).
Prolonged cycling causes considerable generation of heat in the pelvic area which may affect sperm function, but there is no direct link between cycling and male infertility. Major direct injuries of the testis might cause testicular damage and impaired function of that side. Mountain bikers have a higher incidence of abnormal scrotal findings. Torsion of spermatic cord (twisting of testis and its cord), microcalcification of testis, haematoma (bleeding in the scrotal sac around the testis) and hydrocele (collection of fluid) are other testicular problems. Torsion of the testis is an emergency condition and immediate medical attention is required. It is worthwhile remembering that clothing around the scrotum should not be too tight as this affects the sperm count.
Mr Vinod Nargund is a Consultant Urological Surgeon at St Bartholomew's and Homerton Hospitals in London. His special interests include urological cancers (prostate, bladder, kidney and testis), laparosopy and male factor infertility. His current research interests include early detection of genito-urinary cancers and patterns of testicular blood flow in infertile patients.

Longtime Monterey actor, writer, director and technical director John Rousseau, 64, has died.
Mr. Rousseau was the technical director of Pacific Repertory Theatre and has been involved with PacRep and its original company, GroveMont Theatre, since its inception in 1984.
"This is a devastating loss for PacRep, as well as the community at large," said Stephen Moorer, founder and executive director of PacRep. "There is no possible way to simply replace a man of John's talents. It will take many individuals to fill the shoes of this extraordinary man. John was my friend, ally, business partner and sage for 29 years. Words cannot express this profound sense of loss."
Mr. Rousseau, who grew up in Bryson near King City and was the son of an actor from the Pasadena Playhouse, came to the Peninsula in 1966 to attend Monterey Peninsula College. He majored in drama and within a month received a paid technical position in the theater department.
After a stint in the U.S. Army, he returned to the Peninsula and was soon performing fairy tales in "story theater"-style at Hidden Valley Music Seminars in Carmel Valley. That improvisational group evolved into the Magic Carpet Band, which toured the U.S. and Canada doing comic story theater shows from the early 1970s to the mid-'80s. The group also performed a season of half-hour shows on the Nickelodeon television network.
Mr. Rousseau worked with the short-lived professional company, California Repertory Theater in Pacific Grove, which is where he met Moorer, who hired him to be the set-builder for the fledgling TheatreFest, then for GroveMont, which became PacRep, which he has been affiliated with until his death.
"I may have created PacRep, but John is the one who built it," said Moorer.
Mr. Rousseau served as technical director for more than 400 PacRep productions and performed extensively in all the company's theaters, which includes the Golden Bough, Circle and Forest theaters, most recently in 2011's "Every Christmas Story Ever Told", which he also directed.
"John Rousseau didn't need props, or a costume, or a sword, or even a script. Once he walked out on stage, the audience at once trusted they were in the adept hands of a professional," said Michael Lojkovic, a fellow actor who performed with Rousseau many times. "It is his gift we all celebrate, but it is his kindness and generosity we all mourn for they do not make them as nice as John."
Mr. Rousseau played the title roles in "Macbeth" and "Cyrano," portrayed Kissinger in "Nixon's Nixon," Falstaff in "Henry IV Part I" (twice), and lead roles in "The Madness of George III," "Death of a Salesman," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "How I Got That Story," "Strange Snow," "Frankie and Johnny at the Claire de Lune," "Glengarry Glen Ross," "A Christmas Carol," "Scapino" (GroveMont's first production), "The Illusion" and "Hamlet," among many others.
Rousseau also recently directed "Fiddler on the Roof" and "The Clean House," as well as "The Elephant Man," "Closer," "H.M.S. Pinafore" and "Volpone" for PacRep.
Other directorial credits include "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Fortinbras," "Inherit the Wind," "Under Milk Wood," "Beirut," "Talk Radio," "Conference of the Birds" and 20 seasons of TheatreFest's "Fairy Tale Theatre." He also adapted and staged the world premiere of Pacific Repertory Theatre's "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride."
"I only had the opportunity to work with John on a few projects, but it was clear that his passion and artistic vision drove his every decision," said Gary Bolen, head of the Monterey Peninsula College drama department. "Referring to someone as being 'of the theater' can mean many things. In John's case it clearly meant that he was a complete artist on virtually ever level — artistic, intellectual and technical. He was truly a 'man of the theater' and his loss will be keenly felt by all of us."
On the Monterey County Theater Alliance website, Mr. Rousseau is quoted as saying:
"Theater allows me to live an honest philosophy in my life and share it with others. Honest feelings move people in whatever way. If they're not being moved, the performance has not been honest. If you're not being honest with yourself, it's not fair to the audience or to other actors."
Mr. Rousseau was married to Maryann Schaupp-Rousseau, who also performed as an actor with PacRep.
Condolences and flowers can be sent in care of Golden Bough Playhouse at PacRep. Donations to Pacific Repertory Theatre can be made in Mr. Rousseau's name.

On Feb. 24, Whitney Beach Deli & Wines served its first breakfast to a full crowd. But at 5 p.m. Sunday, June 21, the restaurant will close until October. The liquor store, which customers will enter through the same automatic doors that they used for the restaurant, will remain open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week.
Owner Andrew Hlywa said that the hurdles the restaurant faces are similar to the ones he faced with The Market, which he closed at the same location in May of last year.
"Without question the problem with the entire north end of Longboat Key is the lack of tourism," Hlywa said. "And the financial crisis of the world didn't help any."
Hlywa said the restaurant was confronted an additional challenge when he learned that building codes required him to install 10 additional toilets and a voice-activated fire alarm in the nearly 10,000-square-foot space. Renovations pushed the restaurant opening back from its scheduled date of Nov. 10, 2008.
Hlywa, who owns Whitney Beach Plaza, where the restaurant is located, is also losing two tenants at the shopping center: A Moveable Feast, which moved last week, and Key Video, which will move to the Centre Shops in July.

To add on, I don't think Bogut is a good fit as a 3rd big. I would rather us pursue some kind of stretch 4, or retain Millsap (given the right price). I think a stretch 4 compliment both Kanter or Favors very well. I don't see Bogut as a great compliment to either.

Ilyasova would be the ideal fit, but I doubt he is attainable.
Also, on the topic of coaches not giving young bigs playing time. Why the **** isn't Doug Collins giving my boy Moultrie any burn in Philly? They are starved for big men. Him and Holiday could make a deadly duo on the pick n roll.

text: Knock was a destructive phenomenon that occurred in internal combustion engines and only became worse at high engine-compression ratios. Because higher compression ratios were necessary to improve engine power and fuel efficiency, and as a post-World War I fuel shortage was expected, this problem was top priority. Midgley soon uncovered that contrary to popular belief, knock was the result of a fuel failure, not an engine failure. A trial and error search commenced to find a fuel additive that would reduce the temperature and pressure within the cylinder to suppress the knock. In December 1921, an engine test was run with a small amount of tetraethyl lead, completely eliminating knock. This discovery enabled airplane makers to develop more powerful engines, which gave the U.S. a decisive advantage during the Second World War. The increased engine horsepower also allowed for greater aircraft safety, reliability and speed.Invention Impact In 1930, Midgley was charged to find an inexpensive, nontoxic refrigerant for use in household appliances for General Motors, and thus discovered Freon. It wasn't until the 1970's that lead pollution concerns resulted in a ban on lead compounds in gasoline and the introduction of less toxic anti-knock additives. Inventor Bio A second-generation inventor, Midgley was born in 1889 in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania and grew up in Columbus, Ohio. Determined to follow in his father's footsteps as an inventor, Midgley graduated from Cornell University in 1911 with a degree in mechanical engineering. That same year, he married Carrie May Reynolds and later had two children. He died in 1944 at the age of 55 in Worthington, Ohio. Midgley's work earned him four major awards from the American Chemical Society including the Nichols Medal in 1922, the Perkins Medal in 1937, the Priestley Medal in 1941 and the William Gibbs Medal in 1942. He was also awarded two honorary degrees, elected to the National Academy of Sciences, served as president and chairman of the American Chemical Society in 1944 and held over 100 patents in the course of his career. |

Biography (Critical Survey of Poetry: British, Irish, & Commonwealth Poets)
The broad outlines of Richard Lovelace's life are easy enough to sketch, but when it comes to filling in the details, much remains conjectural. Born in 1618 either at the family manor of Bethersden, Woolwich, Kent, or in Holland, Lovelace was the eldest son of Sir William Lovelace and his wife, Anne (Barne). (The Woolwich church register does not commence until 1663.) His mother spent some time in Holland, where his father served under Sir Horace Vere and was later killed at the siege of Groll in 1627. Her references to her son Richard in her will make it seem likely that he was born while she was with her husband in the Low Countries.
Richard had four brothers, Thomas, Francis, William, and Dudley (the last of whom was responsible for seeing Lucasta: Posthume Poems through the press after his brother's death), and three sisters, Anne, Elizabeth, and Johanna. There are no records of Lovelace's childhood. In January, 1630, Lady Lovelace married Jonathan Brown or Browne of London, doctor of laws, and it may be presumed that the family's fortunes were enhanced as a result. The poet was educated at Charterhouse and entered Gloucester Hall, now Worcester College, Oxford, as a gentleman commoner in 1634.
By all accounts, the young scholar was handsome and amiable. In his second year, according to Anthony à Wood, a not very reliable authority in the case of Lovelace, he attracted the attention of an eminent lady of the queen, who...

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
In both his art and life Richard Lovelace played the role of the perfect courtier grandly. During the Parliamentary Wars both he and his family served King Charles I. A favorite of Queen Henrietta, Lovelace learned all the courtly graces, and in his poetry, as much as in his dress, he followed the elegant fashions of the time.
Of a noble family, Lovelace took his honorary degree from Oxford University at age eighteen before he went to the court in London. He fought as a cavalier for the king during the Bishop's Wars of 1639 and 1640. Having then petitioned in Commons for the king, Lovelace was imprisoned in 1642. While in prison he wrote his famous lyric "To Althea, from Prison." He was soon released but was required to remain in London for the duration of the Parliamentary Wars and was prohibited from taking any action in favor of the royalist cause.
After the defeat of the king it is believed that Lovelace went to France and was wounded at the siege of Dunkerque in 1646, returning to England in 1648. Imprisoned again, this time for a period of ten months, he collected and published a volume of his poems, Lucasta: Epodes, Odes, Sonnets, Songs, &c. to Which Is Added Aramantha, a Pastorall in 1649. Having spent his fortune in the king's cause, he lived the rest of his life dependent on the generosity of his friends. After his death, his brother Dudley collected his literary remains and published them in Lucasta:...

• 4 medium Idaho potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
• 2 tablespoons minced basil
• 2 tablespoons minced mint
• 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs

Introducing Miss Stillman: Adora Ihediwa
- 10-11-2010
"A Night on Broadway" was the theme for the coronation of Miss Stillman College 2010-2011, Adora Ihediwa.
Ihediwa, a twenty-one year old senior from Huntsville, Alabama, was officially crowned on September 23 in Birthright Auditorium. A music major with a concentration in vocal performance, Ihediwa is a member of the Delta Sigma Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Stillman Student Government Association (SGA), Stillman Concert Choir and Epsilon Sigma Alpha International. Her scholastic honors include dean's list since 2007.
First attendant, Kheri Lusain and second attendant, Mikia Peavy, also participated in the coronation. The class queens along with campus queens for residence halls and organizations were also included.
Ihediwa began her education at Stillman in the fall of 2007 and is currently a graduating senior. Ihediwa said when she arrived at Stillman, she knew she wanted to be involved in student life. "My sophomore year I was selected for the position of Senior Representative to the Board of Trustees. Being a part of the SGA prepared me for leadership roles as well as effectively working in groups. The Miss Stillman position requires patience and organization, as well as excellent oratorical skills, all of which I acquired while working with the SGA," she said.
Ihediwa attributed her desire to be Miss Stillman to wanting to "be an ambassador for the institution as well as a role model." She continued, "Also, I wanted to implement my platform because throughout my matriculation, I noticed a number of students who had low self esteem and I felt that I could make a difference. I am tremendously excited about implementing my platform, which is, 'Promoting Positive Body and Self Image,' and overall, taking an active role in Stillman, as well as the Tuscaloosa community."
When reflecting on what have been the most enjoyable aspects in her new role as Miss Stillman thus far, she said, she loved meeting all the new people and working with the other campus queens. She identified the most challenging aspect as balancing the busy life of a student along with her duties as Miss Stillman. "Before the coronation," she smiled and said, it seemed like every time I tried to get some rest, my mind was buzzing through a list of all the things I still need to get done!

MARTIN, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee at Martin and IPFW baseball game scheduled for Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. has been postponed, Skyhawk head coach Bubba Cates has announced.
The weekend format will now be a single game played at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 23, followed by a doubleheader starting at 11 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 24. The doubleheader will consist of a nine-inning game, followed by a seven-inning contest.
This series marks the third time in the last seven seasons that UT Martin (0-5) has hosted the Mastodons for a three-game weekend series. The Skyhawks boast a 5-1 all-time record against IPFW, outscoring the Mastodons 33-17 in the process.
So far this season, UT Martin's offense has been paced by senior veterans. Wade Collins and Grant Glasser share the team lead with six hits, while Collins and Matt Haynes pace the team with three RBI apiece. Byron Johann has also hit well in limited duty, hitting .429 in a pair of starts.
On the hill, the Skyhawk bullpen has been reliable all season and is coming off a performance in which a trio of UT Martin hurlers conceded just three earned runs spread out over six frames against No. 8 Ole Miss on Wednesday. Juniors Chris Ross (1.93 ERA in 4.2 innings) and Stu Jones (2.70 ERA, zero hits allowed in 3.1 innings) have established themselves as trusted setup men.
Against IPFW, the Skyhawks will start senior right-hander Dan Tobik (0-0, 6.75 ERA) in Game 1, followed by sophomore southpaw Taylor Cox (0-0, 1.93) and senior righty Alex Boshers (0-1, 6.75) in Games 2 and 3, respectively. That trio also made a start in last weekend's season-opening series at Southeastern Louisiana, combining to fan 13 batters in 12.2 innings.
IPFW (2-2) is coming off its season-opening weekend at the Alabama A&M Invitational.The Mastodons split a doubleheader with Alabama A&M (7-6 in both games), knocked off Indiana State (2-0) and fell to Ohio Valley Conference member Morehead State (11-6).
Markus Kalber hit .500 in 16 at-bats (including five doubles) to lead IPFW, while Clay Hathaway and Evan VanSumeren shared the team lead with four RBI's.
IPFW has announced Jason Kalber (0-0, 0.00 ERA), Chuck Weaver (0-1, 15.75) and Brandon Pease (0-0, 4.76) as its probable starting pitchers.

Steven Gerrard spoke of his joy at being honoured by the Football Writers' Association, with an 'exciting year' ahead for the England captain. The Liverpool star was the recipient of the FWA tribute on Sunday evening, with the likes of Jamie Carragher, Kenny Dalglish and Gerard Houllier all saluting the 32-year-old. And Gerrard was delighted to receive the honour at London's Savoy Hotel, particularly as the votes were made by writers who see him in action every week. He said: "The award means a lot because these guys have followed me throughout my career and written about me whenever I have played. "To receive this award from the Football Writers' Association is a very proud night for myself and my family. I feel very flattered and humbled to receive it. "I have always looked at personal awards as a bit of a bonus really. I always try to achieve things with Liverpool or fight to do well for England. "But when you talk about awards from people like the supporters or people in the press, who watch you week in and week out and scrutinise your performances, these mean an awful lot because these guys know their football." Gerrard was named as England captain by Roy Hodgson in 2012 and went on to collect his 100th cap last November to bring the year to an end. His performances for Liverpool, where he has played every minute in the Premier League this season, have continued to inspire with another goal added to his tally against Norwich on Saturday. And with The FA celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2013, Gerrard is looking forward to the next 12 months and helping England in their World Cup qualifying campaign. "It is a special year - the 150th anniversary for The FA as well, so there are some really big fixtures to look forwards to," added Gerrard. "We are halfway through a World Cup qualifying campaign, so hopefully at the end of the season it can be a success for Liverpool to achieve something, and also make it through to the finals in Brazil with England."
Current club: Liverpool 'Stevie G', the FWA's 'Footballer of the Year' in 2009, PFA Player of the Year in 2006 and England Player of the Year in 2007, is a talismanic midfielder and captain for Liverpool and England.

Q&A: How to talk to your children about a school shooting
A gunman killed 26 people, including 20 children, at a Connecticut elementary school today. Parents of school-aged children are probably especially on edge, wondering how to approach the subject with their little ones, what's appropriate to say, and how they can handle their own shock and grief with young eyes watching. Boston.com Moms talked with Louis Kruger, associate professor in the department of counseling and applied educational psychology at Boston's Northeastern University, about how parents should talk with their children about a school shooting. (Photo: Louis Kruger)
Boston.com Moms: We are seeing parents comment on social media about how they are unsure of how to talk about this with their kids. What is your advice?
Kruger: If the kids are aware of it, you have to talk to them about it. What you dont want to do is give the impression that its a taboo subject and they need to keep the feelings to themselves.
Boston.com Moms: How young is too young to talk about it?
Kruger: Even preschoolers, if they bring it up, you can mention, 'This is a very bad thing that happened.' But I think it would also be a mistake to go beyond the obvious facts. You dont want to embellish on what might have happened.
I think for children that are aware of this and it does have an impact, the primary question in their minds is, 'Can something like that happen to me and where are the adults that are supposed to protect me?'
Boston.com Moms: And what is a parent to say?
Kruger: You remind them that they can trust the people at school and that they are safe at school ... You and I may be frightened by this but we understand this is a pretty unusual occurrence. Its hard for them to get that concept. [They think] 'Well, why wouldnt that happen here?' The best we can do is tell them were going to do our best to keep them safe. [Tell them] 'Youve been safe so far and its my responsibility and your teachers' responsibility to keep you safe and theyre doing a very good job of that. And if there are times you dont feel safe, I really want you to tell me about that, I really want to hear it, dont keep it to yourself.'
Boston.com Moms: Is it OK to say you don't know when a child asks a question?
Kruger: You can. Yes, if you dont know the specifics. But very often theres a feeling, a concern, behind the question. It's not details just for the sake of getting details but more along the lines of, 'Gee how can that happen?' Reassure a child that you will do everything possible to keep him or her safe.
Boston.com Moms: Should parents let children watch TV coverage of the tragedy?
Kruger: I think its appropriate for adults to control it because you dont know what theyre going to show on TV. [The TV network] can apologize for it afterward and meanwhile it can scare the heck out of your kid. You are in charge of that environment and I think thats important.
You dont want to shield your child from all the realities of life. Thats not going to help them grow up. But you also dont want to expose them to things that are beyond their emotional ability to comprehend. There is a balance there
Boston.com Moms: What are the signs that a child is not dealing well with tragic news like this?
Kruger: You look for changes in behavior, appetite, if they are agitated, anxious, or particularly quiet. I think its important for parents to recognize those kind of indicators and say to the child, 'Is something bothering you?' And to make the child feel comfortable.
Boston.com Moms: How can parents cope with their own grief and feelings of helplessness?
Kruger: I think you need to talk to other adults about it -- trusted others. And share your feelings. It shatters our illusion of being able to keep the world safe for our children. Most of the time thats true. But its events like this, I think, that communicate to us that, yeah, were not in total control with keeping our children safe. And thats a scary thought for adults.
Its OK to let your child know that you feel sad and upset about this but ... if were too blunt, I think, with our feelings, we may frighten our own children.

Allstate is kicking off 2013 with plans to add 136 jobs in Ohio, including 48 in the Columbus area.
The insurer plans to appoint 12 new insurance-agency owners in Columbus and hire 36 licensed sales representatives for new and existing agencies in the region. The remaining jobs will be throughout Ohio, specifically in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton and Akron, the company said.
"We're seeing opportunity to gain market share in every market," said Kevin Clickett, strategic deployment leader for the insurer's north-central region. "We always need a good pipeline of people."
Ohio currently has more than 300 Allstate agents, he said. Each agent typically has one to seven support-staff members.
Clickett said the opportunity to own an agency has appeal to many in the insurance industry who want to own their own business. Agency owners are independent contractors of Allstate.
"We're looking for folks with an entrepreneurial spirit with a sales background, a management background who are tired of earning money for somebody else," Clickett said.
New agency owners will need a minimum of $50,000 to invest in their agency, an amount the insurer says can be used to successfully fund the normal day-to-day costs associated with starting and running a business.
Clickett said the agencies will offer insurance and financial products, including life insurance, annuities and mutual funds.
Allstate already is one of the biggest insurers in a state where there is stiff competition, which has consistently provided the state's homeowners and drivers with some of the lowest rates in the country.
Allstate was No. 3 in total auto-insurance premiums in the state in 2011 with 9.9 percent of the market and No. 2 in homeowners' insurance premiums, according to state figures. State Farm is tops in both categories.
Clickett said the industry tends to be recession-proof because all drivers need insurance and mortgage companies require homeowners to carry insurance.
The new jobs that Allstate is bringing to Ohio reflect an industry that will need insurance professionals in the years to come, said Mary Bonelli, spokeswoman for the Ohio Insurance Institute.
About half of the state's insurance work force is expected to turn over by 2025 as baby boomers retire, opening up opportunities for young professionals or those looking for a career change, she said.
"The evolving work force creates endless opportunities and job openings in an array of venues, everything from building your own agency business from the ground level to those who seek career stability, which the industry offers," she said.
Information about the Allstate opportunities can be found on its website, www.allstateagent.com .
