Testosterone is hot, the hormone of choice for hundreds of thousands of middle-aged men determined to stave off the constellation of symptoms, including erectile dysfunction and loss of libido, that have come to be known by some as andropause, the male version of menopause. Doctors wrote more than 1.9 million prescriptions for testosterone in 2002, a 27 percent increase over 2001, according to IMS Health, which tracks the pharmaceutical industry....

Life was not a box of chocolates, on the other band, for former Sony studio chief Peter Guber. A free-spender who shelled out millions to rebuild the studio’s lot and buy corporate jets, Guber was fired in September. Shortly afterward Sony took a $2.7 billion write-off resulting from its ill-fated entrance into the movie business. That other Japanese-owned studio, MCA-Universal, has also been experiencing growing pains. MCA’s two bosses, Lew Wasserman and Sidney Sheinberg, have been battling their Japanese owners for more in-dependence–and more money for expansion....

The charges were announced on Monday by Lori Linskey, acting prosecutor for Monmouth County. They follow an investigation that began when videos of the alleged abuses began to circulate around Wall Township High School in September and October 2021, reported NJ Advance Media. Due to the New Jersey Code of Juvenile Justice, the number of juvenile defendants and their identities will not be disclosed to the public. In a press release sent to Newsweek, Linskey confirmed that the students face charges of hazing, attempted criminal sexual contact, criminal sexual contact, false imprisonment, and harassment, according to Law & Crime, as a result of one investigation....

Twitter user @lincolnjackd posted a message tagging Obama’s official Twitter account saying: “Like most high school/college seniors, I’m saddened by the loss of milestone events, prom & graduation. In an unprecedented time, it would give us great comfort to hear your voice. We ask you to consider giving a national commencement speech to the class of 2020.” “Whether he does or not, it isn’t about that. It’s about someone who speaks for my generation....

The video, posted by u/peanut-head21 to Reddit’s popular “Oddly Terrifying” thread, received more than 42,500 upvotes and 2,700 comments in 16 hours, many from users offering advice for both the snake and rat issue. While many users were confident the snake was “free pest control,” one user mentioned that one snake would not be enough to fix a rat infestation since rats breed too fast. According to an article written by Kate Latham for Insect Cop, female rats are capable of producing an average 40 babies per year....

All of these “noises” are what have “stayed with me the most” from that fire in southern Utah, Whitney Copeland—whose family trailer home was lit up in flames last year with three of her four kids inside—told Newsweek. She and her husband Kyle, a military veteran, had moved into a converted trailer bus with their four children after selling their house. They were planning to travel full-time this summer on the bus to make up for lost time following years of “military separations, addiction recovery & medical trauma,” as noted on the family’s Instagram profile....

Someone spoke up for the 8U girls team from Oviedo, Florida, and soon afterward they received trophies to equal what the boys received at the Babe Ruth State Championships. Rob Connor, who’s the vice president of operations for the National Babe Ruth League said the organization hopes to avoid this problem in the future. “We’re going to take what we learned from this and try to standardize awards across the board whether it’s here in Florida or across the country,” Connor said in a Fox 35 (Orlando) story this weekend....

Researchers wanted to explore why past studies found that females tend to perform worse than males on maths and science tests, but better on verbal and reading assessments. Some have claimed this disparity arises because females are less able to cope under time pressure. But the authors of the study, published in the journal Nature Communications, counter this claim. They found females are better at sustaining their performance over a long period when compared to males, and argue this should be regarded as a skill rather than a hindrance....

At around 10 p.m. ET on Saturday night, a man wielding a blade stabbed five people at a home in Monsey, New York during a Hanukkah celebration in what New York City’s Governor Andrew Cuomo has labelled an act of “domestic terrorism.” The suspect, Grafton Thomas, 37, was arrested roughly two hours later by the NYPD in Manhattan. The victims were immediately transported to nearby hospitals. In response to the incident, Giuliani blamed de Blasio for allegedly failing to adequately address the rise of anti-Semitism violence in the city....

The former Trump advisor on Wednesday deleted the tweet a day after Hutchinson, a former White House aide, told the congressional investigation panel that Giuliani and others asked for pardons. Hutchinson’s bombshell testimony has renewed scrutiny of the actions of Giuliani and other members of Trump’s inner circle leading up to the January 6 siege on the U.S. Capitol. Political commentator and attorney Ron Filipkowski tweeted a screenshot of Giuliani’s now-deleted tweet:...

The last vestiges of Marion Jones’s anonymity are about to be shredded, as this month NBC presents Marion Jones, Superwoman. Track and field has always been the Olympic centerpiece. But past heroes like Carl Lewis and Jackie Joyner-Kersee have now retired, and more recent stars like Michael Johnson and Gail Devers are pursuing lesser goals than in previous Games. Thus Jones, the world’s fastest woman and one with even more superlative Olympic ambitions, has been cast as America’s singular sensation in Sydney....

There are a few different forms of the condition. Open-angle glaucoma, which doesn’t usually produce early symptoms, is the most common. With glaucoma, you might not know that you have a problem until you begin to lose vision. This is why it’s important that you go for your yearly eye exam with your eye doctor so they can determine if you have glaucoma or are at risk of developing the condition....

These symptoms are often strikingly similar to those of celiac disease (CD) and wheat allergy and so diagnosis of NCGS is contingent not only on these shared potential symptoms of the disorder but also on ruling out CD and wheat allergy. Gastrointestinal Symptoms Digestive issues are the most common symptoms reported by people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity. These tend to mimic those of irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS. (In fact, IBS has been found in some research to be an associated disorder....

However, all three young men are unlikely to crack the Senators’ lineup next season. Thomson is slated to play for the club’s American Hockey League affiliate in Belleville. Bernard-Docker will likely join Thomson after a sophomore campaign at the University of North Dakota, while his Fighting Hawks freshman teammate Pinto may not be too far behind. NHL MOCK DRAFT: Senators select phenoms Lafreniere, Rossi; LA Kings get goalie of future...

In a press release from the Arizona Humane Society, emergency animal medical technicians discovered that a goat fell into an irrigation pipe but they were unable to pinpoint its exact location. Two hours after the search began, Andy Gallo and Sydney DeJoy, the responders, left for the day. They returned the next day with a snake camera to find the goat. “Andy, Gracie Watts and EAMT in-training, Savana Wilcox, returned to the scene first thing in the morning armed with a snake cam, PVC pipes, shovels and a sledgehammer to break through the concrete and 12-inch irrigation pipe,” the press release read....

Take, for instance, the secret society of Yale undergraduates known as Skull and Bones, which for most of last week teetered on the brink of coeducation, more than 20 years after virtually the entire rest of the Yale campus. For the first time in the organization’s history, the outgoing group of 15 seniors attempted to recruit a number of women to carry its sacred traditions into its 160th year, but were thwarted by the alumni, who sneaked into the sepulchral clubhouse across the street from Yale’s Old Campus and changed the locks....

In a cartoon, or “KurtToon,” the man upstairs answers tough questions from the media about the Patriots-Seahawks matchup. God admits that Russell Wilson has nothing but nice things to say about him, and added that some people think he’s already blessed Tom Brady enough with “the looks, the wife, the money, the tuck rule.” It’ll be tough for him to decide which quarterback to bless more on Super Bowl Sunday....

The Mystic Gates, or gateways, are magical stone arches that allow you to move across the branches of the Yggdrasil tree to travel between different realms. You also use these magical gateways to gain access to Brok and Sindri’s home, which players will spend a good deal of time visiting and upgrading their gear. That means you’ll need to farm a lot of Hacksilver if you want to leave here fully upgraded sooner rather than later....

Buckingham Palace sources kept mum about these new woes last week. “Anything to do with the queen’s private money is a matter for her,” said a spokeswoman. “Taxpayers’ money isn’t involved.” But the British monarch had more than a nodding interest in how the Barings saga ends. The firm’s asset-management arm apparently controlled the bulk of her liquid assets of close to $100 million. Most of that equity is believed to be invested in stocks and bonds and “ring-fenced” from exposure to the actions of traders like Leeson....
