Futures move higher on strong earnings
NEW YORK (AP) ? Stock futures rose Thursday with U.S. corporate earnings continuing to impress.
Dow Jones industrial futures rose 58 points to 14,673. The broader S&P futures added 7.8 points to 1,581.90. Nasdaq futures are up 18 points to 2,842.
On top of strong earnings from the likes of Harley-Davidson, Southwest Airlines and Dow Chemical, the government said that unemployment benefit applications fall to 339,000, second-lowest level in 5 years.
That was better than most economists had expected and further tamped down apprehensions about a terrible jobs report from March.
There are more earning on the way in one of the busiest weeks of the quarter for U.S companies.
Also reporting Thursday are UPS, United Continental, Starbucks and Expedia.

NYPD tests subways by releasing inert gas
This summer, New York City will witness what might be called an airborne non-toxic event, to corrupt a term coined in Don DeLillo's 1985 novel White Noise.Over three days in July, the New York Police Department and scientists from Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, N.Y., will release small amounts of a harmless, colorless gas in the subways and on the streets to trace its flow through the city, both above and below the surface. The aim of the $3.4-million airflow experiment is to investigate how a harmful agent would disperse in the event of an accidental release or a terrorist attack, such as the 1995 sarin gas release in the Tokyo subway by the Aum Shinrikyo cult."The NYPD works for the best but plans for the worst when it comes to potentially catastrophic attacks such as ones employing radiological contaminants or weaponized anthrax," police commissioner Ray Kelly said in a prepared statement.A similar project, carried out in 2005, tracked the spread of aboveground gases in midtown Manhattan. This summer's Subway-Surface Air Flow Exchange experiment will cover all five boroughs, including dozens of stations on 21 subway lines, and will employ some 200 detectors to monitor the dispersal of gas.As in the 2005 test, the researchers will release gases known as perfluorocarbon tracers, which exist in such small quantities in the atmosphere--just a few parts per quadrillion, for some molecules--that their spread following a controlled release can be clearly tracked using sensitive detectors. Perfluorocarbon tracer gas systems were developed at Brookhaven in the 1980s and have been used to identify leaks in hazardous waste-containment systems as well as to trace the potential migration of airborne pollutants across distances of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers.The gases are nontoxic, nonflammable, and chemically and biologically inert, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. But considering that 5 percent of Americans believe that airplane condensation trails are actually "chemtrails" deployed by the U.S. government for mind control and other nefarious aims, according to a recent poll, expect more than a few straphangers to steer clear of the subway system during the tracer tests.

Merck melanoma drug wins "breakthrough" designation
(Reuters) - U.S. regulators have granted Merck & Co's experimental treatment for advanced melanoma a "breakthrough therapy" designation, which could speed development and regulatory review of the product.
The medicine, whose chemical name is lambrolizumab, is also being tested against other forms of cancer. It belongs to a promising class of therapies that harness the body's immune system to find and attack cancer cells. It targets a protein called PD-1, or Programmed Death receptor.
The FDA created the "breakthrough therapy" designation earlier this year for medicines deemed likely to demonstrate "substantial improvement" over existing drugs.
Although it is intended to provide an easier path for drug development, Merck said it was not yet clear what specific benefits the designation would afford.
Merck shares slipped 0.6 percent in morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange to $48.36.

Dortmund beats Real Madrid 4-1 in Champs League
DORTMUND, Germany (AP) ? Borussia Dortmund followed Bayern Munich's lead in upending a Spanish power.
Robert Lewandowski scored four goals to lead Dortmund over Real Madrid 4-1 Wednesday night in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal.
"It was a royal evening for us," Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Guendogan said, playing on "real," the Spanish word for "royal."
Bayern Munich routed Barcelona 4-0 a night earlier, making it likely Europe's top club competition will have an all-German final for the first time. The second legs of the total-goals series are in Spain next week, with the winners meeting at London's Wembley Stadium on May 25.
"We still have to go to Madrid. That won't be a stroll in the park," Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said.
Real Madrid, a nine-time winner, was favored against Dortmund, which won the Champions League for the only time in 1997.
Lewandowski opened the scoring in the eighth minute, only for Cristiano Ronaldo to tie the score with a tap-in in the 43rd after Gonzalo Higuain seized on Mats Hummels' weak backpass. It was Ronaldo's 50th Champions League goal, including 12 this season.
Lewandowski beat an offside trap in the 50th for his second goal, running onto Marco Reus' defense-splitting pass and tucking the ball past goalkeeper Diego Lopez. He made it 3-1 five minutes later when he eluded Pepe by dragging the ball back and scored from close range.
"The third goal was worth every cent ZDF and Sky give us," Klopp said, referring to broadcast networks.
Lewandowski converted a penalty kick in the 67th after Xabi Alonso shoved Reus in the back and was called for the foul.
"I'm very happy with the four goals, of course," Lewandowski said. "But we're not yet through. We have to stay as concentrated when we play in Madrid. Because up to now, we've only taken the first step."
Lewandowski became just the second player to score four or more goals in the Champions League knockout stage, joining Barcelona's Lionel Messi, who had four against Arsenal in 2010 and five against Bayer Leverkusen last year.
"I could see there was one team on the pitch that was much better than the other. The better team definitely won," Madrid coach Jose Mourinho said.
The second legs will be played in Madrid next Tuesday and in Barcelona the following day.
"In football everything is possible," Mourinho said. "Anything can happen next week.
Dortmund, the only unbeaten side remaining in the competition, is 6-0 at home. Madrid has lost its last six games in Germany.
Klopp credited Dortmund's fans, clad in the team's bee colors, for their support.
"Without this atmosphere this game would not have been possible," he said. "One hundred percent."
