  • An msnbc.com poll of 100 urologists, conducted by Truth On Call, showed that 30 percent of the doctors had seen or treated pre-teen and teen boys for testicular trauma in the past year, including severe injuries caused by so-called “sack-tapping,” in which boys ambush others at school and elsewhere.

  • "Speaking just for myself, I was concerned when I heard about these bonuses," said David Weber, chairman of the Zoo-Museum District's board. It stands out from "what we've heard from the other institutions and the cost-cutting measures they're taking."
  • In Boyle's case, Hellman said, the financial officer deserved her bonus, even though she started so late in 2010. "She gave us a really good transition," he said, "and we rewarded her for that outstanding contribution."
  • "It removes any concerns that taxpayers might have," Hellman said. "But we're still going to use incentive compensation in certain years and with certain people. We still believe it's right."

  • The pay is tied to objective performance standards that vary depending on executives' responsibilities, said Ted Hellman,
