Cancer cells can only burn glucose, if they burn fats they die (called the Warburg Effect). One approach would be to starve the cancer cells by depriving them of glucose, so a ketogenic diet.
Vitamin D supports immune function, cellular communication and autophagy - all processes helpful in preventing cancer, not sure about treating it but worth a shot.
Long chain omega 3s block angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels) and halts cancer growth
Just in general reduce inflammation and stress. Cells become cancerous in response to a hostile environment.
Some antioxidants like glutathione may be helpful (eat animal foods or supplement cysteine), others like vitamin C also protect cancer cells from chemotherapy.
His sugar cravings and cancer are likely due to mitochondrial dysfunction. Sugar because his fat metabolism is compromised (can't access stored body fat very well in between meals) and cancer because of the excess ROS causing DNA damage.

RAHWAY — Kathy Cottier grew up in Rahway hearing her father, John Kane and his brother, William, tell stories of fighting in World War II, but the veterans always cleaned up their tales, glossing over the horrors of war.
Then, in June 1979, on the 35th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, John Kane, then retired and living in Florida, sat down and wrote a 10-page letter to his daughter, who recently left Union County to retire in Florida. He poured onto page after page memories of a day he would never forget, and a day he wanted his daughter to remember.
Cottier recently came across the letter that she had carefully preserved in a family scrapbook, and felt it should be shared with others, especially on the 70th anniversary of D-Day.
"I don't know why he decided to write it then," Cottier said of her father's letter. "It just might have been something he wanted to get off of his chest," she said in a telephone interview. "He was proud that he had done his part, just as his father had done in World War I."
John Kane opened his letter with "Dear Chippy Choo," the nickname he gave to his daughter, and explained briefly why he wrote it.
"I feel an inner pride having been there," Kane wrote to his then 32-year-old daughter. "I tell you of these things simply because you're you. This is a private thing with me."
Kane wrote in great detail how he — a private first class in the 603rd Engineers Camouflage Battalion — and others boarded the ship that would carry them across the English Channel to Normandy Beach, how they waited in bunks until it was their turn to go up on deck, how they climbed over the side of the ship and descended on ropes before dropping into a landing craft, all the while with missiles from battleships filling the sky and bombarding German fortifications.
"The landing craft bobbed up and down and side to side more than it moved forward. Waves swept over the side and the sea water collected in the bottom of the hull. We were tossed into one another, cursing at everything," the veteran wrote.
As the soldiers were tossed in the boat, Kane lost his rifle, what he called a soldier's "best friend."
"I reached down into the cold, saltwater and felt the butt of my carbine! It dripped like a washed sock as I retrieved it." Kane wrote. Thinking the soaked weapon was ruined, Kane recalled, he "shouted into the noise, 'Anyone got a sling-shot?' "
When the boat stopped and the door opened, Kane followed others into the hip-deep water, seeing soldiers fall in front of him, their backpacks keeping their suddenly still bodies afloat.
He scrambled 40 yards and stretched out flat on the beach. Just an arm's length away was a motionless soldier, an M-1 at his side. Kane grabbed the weapon and the dead man's ammunition belt and kept going.
"Each time June 6 rolls around I get a creepy, goose-pimply feeling. I think of that man on the beach," he wrote to this daughter.
"Maybe," Kane says at the end of the letter, "I hold latent guilt feelings because I survived while so many fell on the beach – and elsewhere. Certainly, I had none at the time; surviving was everything. But… looking back, well, I just shake my head."
John Kane died in January 1997, at age 74.

The Oregonian's Paul Buker delivers the goods in a feature on Jacquizz (AKA "Quizz") Rodgers today. Here's a taste:
Quizz Rodgers' teammates are more than willing to get carried away after watching him explode for two touchdowns in Thursday's 55-play scrimmage.
First, Quizz Rodgers took a screen pass 69 yards for a touchdown, executing a cutback move to the middle of the field that was right out of the Sanders playbook.
Then Quizz Rodgers wriggled loose for a 64-yard touchdown on a simple draw play, freezing defenders with another one of his jaw-dropping changes of direction.
Said Quizz Rodgers later, in the understatement of preseason camp: "I can make people miss."
Hmm. Undersized, explosive, makes people miss, exceptional field vision? Victor Butler says these skills remind him of Yvenson Bernard, but I think of this guy. Be sure to check out the rest of Paul's story to see what Riley and his staff are saying about Rodgers. Sounds like the kid could have a much bigger role this year than any of us imagined.
Earlier today, Ted Miller of ESPN hosted a text chat about the Pac-10. Among a predictable deluge of USC- and ASU-related questions, he answered one regarding the Beavs:
Matt, Eugene: Ted, whats your honest thoughts on SI's preseason ranking of the beavers at 18?
Ted Miller: A little high... but a nice sign of respect for the program. Now the task is to live up to that. Recall: SI touted the Beavers before and things didn't go according to plan.
Yes, they did, Ted, thanks for reminding us (shakes fist at media).
Ryan White of The Tailgate Blog linked to this last week, but in case you missed it, CV3000 (of Building The Dam fame) wrote an exhaustive preview of the Beavers for Every Day Should Be Saturday. Since today is Quizz's day, here's what CV had to say about the younger Rodgers:
[James'] younger brother, Jacquizz, is the all-time TD record holder in Texas high school history and will be a true freshman with us this year. We look forward to writing a plea to their mother in this space next year, imploring her to consider the benefits of bearing further offspring so that we might raise them in a Soviet-style encampment for the betterment of our future football success. Da Comrade!
Speaking of CV3000, he celebrates the daily countdown at BTD with 10 Things for Beavers Fans to Love.
A final note: congrats to ex-Beaver Josh Inman and USA Rowing, who took home a Bronze medal yesterday.

On January 19th I changed my status from Single to Married. That is one reason you will find a long gap, more than a month's, between my last post and this. I was busy with the pre marriage arrangements and post marriage rituals of visiting near and dear relatives, drinking gallons of tea and indulging ourselves in delicacies made specially for us. (I have become fatter by 4kgs.)
My better half, or far better half to put frankly, is doing her final year graduation in Sociology and has around 3 more months of classes and an exam left. She is a wonderful individual, a good singer, and was great company for the last ten days when we were together. She will be staying at her home till the exams are done with and then I am planning to take her with me to Bangalore where I work.
Right now, I am back in Bangalore, alone, just like before the marriage. Things are just like the time after our engagement, I working in Bangalore, she attending her classes, with mobile phones as the only connection between us. Some times I even wonder that marriage and subsequent days when we lived together were for real or just a dream.
Anyway this month is going to be a busy one. I have to look for a new home and make the arrangements, lot of pending works in office, some twenty half done blog posts in drafts folder.... Watch out this space for more.

The Impact of War
Building Better Houses For Wounded Soldiers
Hide captionThe Wounded Warrior Home Project is an inventive approach to military housing, serving the needs of wounded soldiers and their families as they continue to serve on active duty at Fort Belvoir, Va.Kainaz Amaria/NPR
Hide captionDavid Haygood of the IDEO design firm (left) and Casey Nolan of Clark Realty Capital worked collaboratively in the design and development of this unique housing, alongside renowned architect and designer Michael Graves. On the ceiling above Haygood and Nolan is an enhanced HVAC system, which allows for 12 temperature-controlled zones around the home.Kainaz Amaria/NPR
Hide captionInnovations around the home are designed to accommodate all types of injuries, from limb amputation to post-traumatic stress disorder. In the kitchen, adjustable-height counters and open space below the sink allow for warriors in wheelchairs to maneuver with ease.Kainaz Amaria/NPR
Hide captionAutomatic lifts are built into countertops to adjust to different heights. "When you are in a wheelchair, it is a game of inches," says Nolan, "whether it is the width of the doorway or the height of the counter."Kainaz Amaria/NPR
Hide captionCapt. John Votovich, Fort Belvoir's battalion operations officer, stands in the family room of the Wounded Warrior Home. "We have more of a wounded population today that wouldn't have survived in earlier generations. They're still productive members of the military, and they will continue to be so," he says.Kainaz Amaria/NPR
Hide captionThe dining counter of the home can be brought to any height by an adjustable lift catering to different users in the home.Kainaz Amaria/NPR
Hide captionVisitors to the home will not see a traditional hinged door; instead, sliding interior doors with easy-to-reach handles optimize maneuverability. Hallways are also considerably wider, and wood flooring is trimmed with lighter wood to provide guidance for soldiers with vision loss.Kainaz Amaria/NPR
Hide captionFor disabled service members, the bathroom is often a source of frustration; this was taken into consideration during the design stage. A curbless shower with a liner drain system eliminates the need for a sloped floor, and small mosaic tiles make for a nonskid floor surface.Kainaz Amaria/NPR
Hide captionSome of the small details that make for easier living include power outlets in the closet for prosthetics, and higher floor trims to prevent walls from scuffing.Kainaz Amaria/NPR
Hide captionRetired Army Capt. Alvin Shell, who suffered burns over 30 percent of his body in Iraq, was one of several advisers on the house's design. His suggestions included a "man room" - a space where soldiers can have some time away from their family but still be in the home. "You can't hug me enough to forget some of the things that I saw," Shell says.Kainaz Amaria/NPR
Hide caption"I wanted to be able to see outside but not be outside," Shell told designers of the home. Clerestory windows allow for a greater amount of light and outside visibility, bridging the inside space with the outdoors.Kainaz Amaria/NPR
Hide captionThe home features an extra-large garage to accommodate specialty vans, and wide automatic doors to enter the home.Kainaz Amaria/NPR
Hide captionThe bright yellow single-story home has a universal aesthetic, with specific accommodations that dramatically improve the quality of life for an active-duty wounded soldier.Kainaz Amaria/NPR

All wars bring innovations — in weapons, and also in ways to repair the damage done. Penicillin is one of the more famous examples: It came into use as a treatment for troops in World War II.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have brought their own breakthroughs, none more dramatic than the prosthetics that come close to giving back what has been lost. And big advances in treating grievous injuries have meant many more troops coming home alive.
There are enough wounded soldiers who want to stay in uniform that the military is finding ways to accommodate the disabled — and that has led to a grand experiment called the Wounded Warrior Home at the Army's Fort Belvoir in Virginia.
That's where Casey Nolan works as a project director for Clark Realty Capital. The company develops all the housing on Fort Belvoir, where Nolan recently led a small tour of an innovative new home.
Little Changes, Making A Big Difference
Nolan ushers us into a spacious four-bedroom cottage; it's bright yellow, surrounded by a white picket fence. The charming house offers no hint that it's designed to accommodate a wide range of special needs — until you take a close look.
"This is the stove top moving down," Nolan demonstrates, moving the range a few inches.
"When you're in a wheelchair, it is a game of inches," he says, "whether it's the width of the doorway, or it's the height of the counter — [it's] how far you can reach."
These are just some of the challenges Nolan's company wrestled with when it took over housing on Fort Belvoir nearly a decade ago. Back then, nearly all military post housing was being turned over to private real estate firms to develop and manage.
Clark Realty's situation was typical. The 2,100 homes it inherited were badly in need of fixing up.
And while the company did make some of the homes handicapped-accessible, Nolan says they could still be difficult for the returning wounded to live in. Among the problems: hallways that were too narrow to turn a wheelchair around in.
"It just kind of hit me one day, you know, what are we doing?" Nolan says. "Is there a better way to do it? Let's just reinvent this completely."
Retired Army officer Alvin Shell was one of several advisers on the design of this home. His expertise in what a wounded warrior needs was hard-won.
Back in 2004, he was an Army lieutenant leading a platoon in Iraq. They were traveling just outside Baghdad when his convoy was ambushed. An IED hit a truck, trapping one of his sergeants in the burning wreck.
"I went into the fire, and after putting him out, I caught on fire — the diesel fuel got all over me," Shell says. "So I had to pull off all my clothes, which were on fire. And my skin was on fire, my body was on fire, my muscles were on fire. So I put myself out — and then I jumped back into the firefight."
By the time it was over, Shell was badly burned over 30 percent of his body. It was only after two years in hospitals — and a series of painful skin grafts and surgeries — that he was able to start over.
Afterward, Shell had trouble stretching to reach things in high places.
"I considered myself a very top-notch officer and a top-notch soldier," he says. "I mean, I closed my eyes, and I woke up — and this was a new life for me."
Designers With Personal Motives
As it happened, another person who was key to creating the new Wounded Warrior house was also forced to make a new life for himself.
A decade ago, Michael Graves, one of the nation's most celebrated architects, fell ill with a devastating infection. It left him in a wheelchair, unable to walk. So when he was contacted about the Wounded Warrior project, Graves said he wanted in.
"When I was interviewed, I rolled in, in my wheelchair," he says, "and I thought I had a pretty good chance of beating out the competition, because I was with the Wounded Warriors."
Nolan remembers the story a little differently.
"We weren't sure if he'd even respond," he says. "I mean, this is just but one or two houses on a military base. And he's known for building institutional buildings around the world. But Michael showed up — showed up to every design meeting, and personally was doing the sketches himself."
To conceptualize the home Graves would design, the design firm IDEO was brought in. A partner of that firm, David Haygood, had been to war himself, in Vietnam.
Today, Haygood's hands shake from Parkinson's disease, developed years after he was exposed to Agent Orange. Sitting in the Wounded Warrior home, he marveled at how things have changed since Vietnam.
"Back then, there was something we called the million-dollar wound, which was, 'What's the least wound I can get that they'll send me home, out of the Army?' " he says. "The thing I see now, as I talk to the wounded warriors on this project" — many of them with injuries far more serious than the famed "million-dollar" wound, he says — "they want to know, 'When can I get back to my unit?' "
More Survivors, With Particular Needs
Before the Iraq War, it was unheard of for anyone to stay in uniform after being seriously wounded. But now that's an option.
Capt. John Votovich, the battalion operations officer on Fort Belvoir, stresses that America fields an army of volunteers.
"You know, not to be cavalier about it," he says, "but the old joke is, 'You signed a check to Uncle Sam for up to — and including — your life.'
"We have more of a wounded population today that probably wouldn't have survived in earlier generations. They're still productive members of the military. And they will continue to be so."
In the years and months after Alvin Shell was wounded, he and his family had to find their own ways to accommodate his needs — things as simple as opening the front door.
Outside the Fort Belvoir model home, he demonstrates how the damage from his burns left him unable to rotate his hand, even to turn a knob. But he can easily hold a key card.
To open the door at his own house, Shell says, he first has to punch in a combination.
"It's actually a keypad," he says, "where I actually just push the keypad, and we have a combination. ... We push it, and then the door opens up. I don't use a key at the house.
"But this is even better. It's a lot easier to manage. You just literally put it against the door, and it opens the door," he says, demonstrating.
Options For Therapy Built In
The automatic door is one of many features that address physical disability. But much of this house is also devoted to emotional scars. Huge windows and French doors are everywhere, so a resident can observe the surroundings, inside and out. That's important for soldiers struggling with post-traumatic stress.
There is also a therapy room, where a Skype connection could replace a trip to the doctor — or where, as Shell suggested to the designers, one could quietly process some very painful memories.
"To have that therapy room and be able to see outside, just the outside world," he says, "and be able to pull the shades when you're not ready for it, and lift the shades when you are ready for it, I mean, that's therapeutic."
After he was injured, Shell was promoted to captain. And while the Army wanted him to stay in, he decided to leave the service when he was offered a good job at Homeland Security.
Asked whether it would have made him think about staying in the Army if homes like the one on Fort Belvoir had been available, Shell hesitates.
"I ... maybe. I don't know," he says. "I think if I knew that I could get this housing at every base, it might have. And maybe somebody who does have the injuries I have — if these houses catch on, and they go from base to base to base, maybe that will change someone's mind to stay in. I don't really regret my decision. But I've got to tell you, I miss it. I miss the Army. I really do."
More of these innovative homes will be going up at Fort Belvoir, breaking ground this summer.
And another house is already built, across the street from the model home we toured. A Marine sergeant and his family are living there. He lost both legs six months ago in Afghanistan; today, he's still serving, on active duty.

BUFFALO - University at Buffalo Law School sports law expert Nellie Drew believes Buffalo sports fans will get their wish: The Bills will stay in Buffalo.
And while she's not a party to the confidential negotiations that will determine the team's fate, she brings the next-best thing: a synthesis of educated opinions based on decades of sports law experience at the very top of Buffalo professional sports, the instincts of a spellbinding teacher and the soul of a Western New York sports fan who would bleed Buffalo red, white and blue all over the power suits she has worn through some of the most historic sports negotiations of Buffalo's modern sports era.
"They will stay here," says Drew, a UB Law School graduate and now adjunct professor who teaches four sports law courses, including negotiating sports contracts, selling sports franchises and drug testing in professional sports.
"Anyone who watched Andre Reed's induction into the Hall of Fame knows that. Practically, it is never an easy matter to move a team. As long as there is demonstrated interest and commitment by sufficiently financed local owners and a dedicated, passionate local fan base, leagues prefer not to move teams."
Drew is a font of sports-law wisdom and hands-on experience with a passion for Buffalo, its people and its sports teams. She was a key player in some of the most famous and influential deals in Buffalo Sabres and NHL history during the past 25 years, sometimes while in advanced pregnancy with one of her seven biological children.
She is known for her memorable bonding techniques to bring people together - from cookie rituals that galvanized consensus during high-level, legal board meetings, including talks leading up to the building of First Niagara Center; to sitting back as her students threw her a surprise baby shower in class; to role-playing in class and assigning students famous sports law identities - and typecasting when possible.
"I had one young man become so ingrained into his role as Jerry Jones that he showed up for class in a Stetson and cowboy boots," Drew says. "Another was the late Al Davis for the semester. I could always count on him to interrupt in class with an aptly timed, 'I'll sue.'"
She customarily pelts students with candy around Halloween in return for correct answers. She'll tell "real-life" stories to illustrate legal principles - her definition of "reckless" is the actions of a teenage boy, such as the time her own son started punting footballs too close to the house after a recent trip to Bills training camp.
Her mentors and close colleagues range from former Sabres and NHL counsel Robert O. Swados, to Deputy Erie County Executive Richard M. Tobe to revered UB Law School professors Dianne Avery and Alfred S. Konefsky, and former dean R. Nils Olsen.
Drew also has behind-the-scenes stories offering glimpses of the informal and sometimes raw life of a top sports law lawyer who witnessed classic moments of Buffalo sports history.
She accidentally broke then-Sabres owner Seymour Knox III's eyeglasses when Brad May's overtime goal eliminated Boston in the 1993 playoffs. While sitting next to Knox and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, she flung her arms around Knox after the winning goal, knocking off his glasses. "Nellie, you can break my glasses anytime we score a goal like that," he told her.
As assistant to Buffalo Sabres attorney Robert O. Swados, who was also counsel to the NHL, Drew was privy to all league expansions of the 1990s. A favorite story involves the NHL owner who took a conference call while having his teeth drilled in the dentist chair.
She helped Sabres General Manager Gerry Meehan work his way through what Drew calls the "elements of a bad 'B' movie" as he and Sabres star Alexander Mogilny tried to elude Russian security through the streets of Helsinki, Finland.
Years before she knocked off Knox's glasses, Drew set her sights on working for the Sabres when, as an undergraduate at Harvard, she wrote a critical note to the owner, blasting him for trading Danny Gare, ("Even a Yalie should have known better " she wrote.). Within the week, she opened her mail to find a copy of the Knox brothers' book inscribed "To Nellie, with best wishes. Go Bulldogs!"
The constant through all these adventures and first-hand encounters with the Western New York sports landscape is Drew's love of Buffalo and its sports teams.
"It's why I came home and why I didn't leave, despite opportunities to do so," she says. "Isn't it fun to watch Buffalo come back? And the people. You just don't find them like this anywhere else."
Drew knows how much having the Bills matters to people from Buffalo, regardless of generations.
"I'm not sure I can even contemplate what would happen if they left," she says. "Have you ever driven down Transit Road on a Sunday in the fall during game time? You can shoot the proverbial cannon down it."
Former Erie County Executive Dennis Gorski once commissioned a study to determine the extent of the local commitment to the Bills to justify making improvements to Ralph Wilson Stadium.
"The results of the study were amazing - even by Buffalo standards," Drew notes. "In excess of 90 percent of the population of Erie County valued the Bills more than their jobs, their families and, in some instances, even their religion. If anything, I think that fanaticism has increased in the interim.
"How do you replace that? Beyond the undeniable economic impact the Bills have, the sociological ramifications would serve as the basis for several Ph.D. studies," she says. "How many times have you run into somebody wearing Bills' insignia in a distant place, stopped to chat and discovered an ex-patriate or a neighbor from 15 minutes away? Our sense of community and our collective image is inextricably tied to that charging buffalo."
Consequently, Drew has clear advice to local and state government officials - as well as fans - on how to make sure the Bills do stay here, all from the perspective of a lawyer and fervent member of Bills and Sabres nation.
"Given the mandate of such a significant portion of the population, I believe it is incumbent upon the state and local governments to assist in keeping the team in Buffalo," she says. "Of course, how they do that is the question. The good news is that the region is so much stronger economically than it was even five years ago. The difficult part is that choices still have to be made. Hopefully, another successful private-public partnership can be forged that will allow the Bills to compete both athletically and financially for the long term."
And she doesn't hesitate when asked if there is anything fans can do on the grass-roots level.
"Absolutely. Buy tickets," Drew says. "This year, you can make a difference by voting with your wallet and with your feet. Let's fill the Ralph from August through December. If you want to go the extra mile, contact Gov. (Andrew) Cuomo and Sen. (Charles) Schumer, both of whom have already expressed their commitment to keep the Bills. Thank them, tell them that you vote and that you are wholeheartedly in favor of government support for the Bills."

Officials with the Grand Rapids Public Schools would no doubt prefer that rare praise for their district not come at the expense of another. Still, a Detroit News editorial today fairly points out that innovations at GRPS have slowed the student exodus and could offer some models for other urban districts.
Following up on similar kudos in Grand Rapids Press editorials, the News lauds Grand Rapids school administrators for the courage to cut $60 million in spending and to close 13 schools. The aggressive response began with Superintendent Bert Bleke and picked up steam under current schools chief Bernard Taylor.
Taylor deserves plaudits, especially, for being flexible, most notably for his help in establishing the Grand Rapids University Preparatory Academy a creative public-private partnership formed to retain students and improve academic performance.
To be sure, GRPS still faces challenges. Lansing's budget woes -- a shortfall approaching a half billion dollars -- will likely mean a reduction in dollars to school districts. For Grand Rapids, that could mean teacher layoffs.
Any cuts to education, no matter how hard the times, would be disastrous in the short and long term.
In Sunday's New York Times, Nicholas Kristof, writing from Islamabad, joined a growing chorus of foreign policy experts who say Pakistan's volatility makes it the most important test facing President-elect Barack Obama.
What does that have to do with education in Michigan?
Kristof points out that militants threatening Pakistan's fragile status have been "nurtured" by illiteracy.
Kristof is not the first to observe that failed education systems feed a sense of futility and despair, creating legions of recruits for terrorist organizations.
Those facts were laid bare in Three Cups of Tea, a 2007 best-seller by former alpinist Greg Mortenson, who became ill trying to summit K2 in 1993. Local mountain people nursed him back to health. When he saw the primitive learning conditions in the remote village of Korphe -- students scratching lessons in the dirt -- he vowed to raise money and return to build a school.
His mission is both humanitarian and strategic. Motivated by the belief that enlightenment will be more efficient than bombs at defeating terrorism, Mortenson's organization has so far built nearly 80 schools in the incubators of Islamic terrorism that are Afghanistan and Pakistan.
As the newly elected leader of the free world contemplates a stimulus plan to rebuild our country, let's hope everyone agrees that infrastructure includes educational systems.
With a graduation rate of only 76 percent, GRPS still leads most of the country's urban districts. The figure looks good considering the challenges but points to the severity of problems in urban education.
Making $400 million in state spending cuts and sparing education in the process is a Herculean task.
But if Michigan has any hope of stemming the brain drain and rebuilding its economy with the high-tech focus the governor and others envision, a better-funded education system is a must.

It likely will be a happy summit on Tuesday when investors and analysts gather for Prudential Financial's annual investor day in New York.
The Newark-based life insurer has seen its stock on a tear over the past year. Share prices have surged about 47 percent higher to Friday's close of $70.48, or about double the 23 percent returned by the S&P 500 over the same time.
The gains are largely in line with other major insurers over the past year, including the American International Group and MetLife, which have benefited from both the bull market and modest growth of interest rates.
But Prudential's share price also reflects some positive news for the company itself. Its vast expansion into Japan's life insurance market continues to reap rewards, and it reported last month better-than-expected results from its recent, ground-breaking takeovers of pension plans for General Motors and Verizon retirees.
These and other developments have Prudential on track to deliver a higher return on equity — a key metric that investors watch — than the average of its peers, or 14 percent versus to 10.5 percent, said JP Morgan analyst Jimmy Bhullar in an interview.
Such results have left Wall Street bullish on Prudential's prospects.
In a research note last week, Eric Berg, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets, put his target price on the company's stock at $92, or $126 under the very best scenario. Among other things, he pointed to its "respectable" 7 percent growth in Japan as part of what is fueling profits.
Yet clouds also have gathered around the company in recent weeks, and it remains to be seen how investors will respond over the long haul.
Chief among these was a long-expected recommendation by federal regulators to designate Prudential, along with AIG and a unit of General Electric, a "non-bank systemically important financial institution," or SIFI. Doing so would force Prudential into a new regime of federal oversight, with likely limitations on how the company manages its capital and uses leverage.
Doug Meyer, a life insurance analyst for the credit rating agency Fitch Ratings, said the impact of this designation on Prudential currently is neutral because the rules for non-bank SIFIs have not been written. But once they are — which could happen near the end of the year, analysts say — a different story could emerge for Prudential's stock.
"What would create a sell-off is if the SIFI capital standards are very onerous," Bhullar of JP Morgan said of Prudential and other insurers expected to be designated SIFIs. "If they are subjected to pure bank-based standards, they're going to be short on capital."
Prudential has said it is considering an appeal of its SIFI status, and has, alongside other companies, urged regulators not to impose harsh standards on insurers.
Investors also are anxious about Prudential's large stake in the variable annuity business, which other companies have been looking to exit. "Overall, investors would rather see slower growth in variable annuities," Bhullar said. While Prudential is raising prices and changing product features of its variable annuities in an effort to slow growth, the company still will be among the market leaders in the sector, he said.
Another cloud came last week in the form of a warning from New York's Department of Financial Services.
In an investigative report, agency superintendent Benjamin Lawsky sounded an alarm about the use of captive insurance companies by life insurers.
These subsidiaries purportedly help their parent company manage risks and reduce the capital they have to hold. But Lawsky said his office's investigation found that captives lack transparency and are helping to mask liabilities and divert reserves. Such arrangements, which Lawsky dubbed "shadow insurance," could be building up massive but invisible risk in the financial system, creating a danger for the broader economy. In light of this, he urged regulators to put a moratorium on the business.
To Credit Suisse analysts, the Lawsky report was a sign of "accelerating" regulation on the insurance industry, according to a research note published by the investment bank. However, Lawsky's report received a lukewarm response last week from other state insurance regulators.
In the midst of these pressures, Prudential has mounted a resilient outlook. Last Tuesday, the company announced plans to dedicate as much as $1 billion to buying back its own shares, a move that should help send its stock prices higher. Noting the announcement came a week after Prudential's SIFI designation, Credit Suisse analyst Tom Gallagher called the move a "modest positive" for the company's shares, which he expects to rise to $75.
Prudential also defended its use of captives last week, saying in a statement that the entities are well capitalized to meet the risks they assume. One of its captives was set up in New Jersey under a 2011 law that first allowed the entities to be based in the state.
In addition to its pension deals with General Motors and Verizon last year, one of the company's big moves in 2012 was acquiring the individual life insurance business of the Hartford, a Connecticut-based insurer. Acquisitions also were key to its expansion in Japan.
In 2010, it bought two life insurers from the American International Group. Since then, they have helped contribute the lion's share of profits that Prudential makes from its international insurance business, which, according to Fitch, accounted for just over half of the $5.3 billion of the company's 2012 operating income.
It's businesses like this, and the earnings they accrue, that makes the company's recovery from the financial crisis noteworthy, Meyer said. "Arguably, Prudential, certainly from an earnings perspective, has bounced back better than a number of companies in the industry."

A potent cold front will continue its march toward the metro region today before clearing the area tonight. It will once again be very warm and humid with more storms likely as the front approaches from the west and northwest. We have an elevated risk for severe weather this afternoon with damaging winds and torrential downpours likely. By tomorrow, any lingering morning clouds should give way to sunshine and to a cool, dry area of high pressure – a nice change for here in mid-July. This should provide a comfortable stretch of summer day into the end of the work-week. Have a great day!

For the last 14 days, we've all read the heart-warming profiles about people we probably never knew, all dealing with breast cancer: Francis Fikes, Elaine Tibbs-Rice, Emily Hsi Hoover, Cindy Stemple, just to name a few.
If you're like me, you've been touched by the stories or perseverance and faith, and wondered: I wish there was something I could do to help.
On Saturday morning, you can.
The annual Liz Hurley men's and women's 5K (3.1 miles) races/walks are Saturday at Huntsville Middle School, starting at the corner of Lowe Avenue and Adams Street and ending at Huntsville Middle School. The men's race is at 8 a.m., women's at 9 a.m. and the Survivor's Walk at 10 a.m.
Over 5,000 runners/walkers are expected, and you can still register. It's $30 through today at the Huntsville Hospital Foundation office and $40 Friday at Huntsville Middle School from 5-7 p.m. There is no race day registration.
If you've already registered, you can pick up your packets today from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Huntsville Hospital Plaza Resource Center, 101 Governor's Drive.
Last year, I did a story on a good friend/runner, Gwen Murphy, who has dealt with breast cancer. She ran with a bunch of her friends last year right after she'd gone through her cancer treatments and continues to run and get better and better every day.
The thing about the Liz Hurley race is, it's not really important if you run or walk - just that you participate. Of course, if you don't want to run or walk, you can donate to the cause. Almost everybody knows somebody who is fighting this disease, right?
The proceeds help bring Breast Specific Gamma Imaging (BSGI) equipment to Huntsville. BSGI is a follow-up to mammography that can significantly aid in the detection of early breast cancer by providing a more precise image of breast tissue. BSGI aids in determining the extent of the disease and provides less false-positive readings than previous technologies. More info at lizhurleyribbonrun.org.
Nice to have run support
Over 400 competed in last week's Monte Sano 15K that started in Monte Sano State Park. Brandon York, 25, won in 50:04 minutes - an incredible 5:23 minutes a mile.
Some might disagree, but as far as road races locally, I think this is the toughest one, going up and down the hills on Panorama Drive the last four miles. It was nice to have some new friends like Eric Doehrman, a local triathlon coach and Ironman competitor, running alongside, encouraging and singing (don't ask).
Sometimes, the better runners are so focused they don't usually do that, and Doehrman admits it was just a training run. But speaking for the peon runners in the back, it means a lot when other runners encourage you.
On a funny, but not really, note: Before the race, organizers asked people not to used i-Pods because of the danger of not hearing cars, other runners, etc. One guy toward the back probably didn't hear - he had his I-Pod in and ran with it most of the race. Oh, well.
Liz Hurley men's and women's 5K races/walks
When: Saturday, men's race at 8 a.m., and women's at 9 a.m. and the Survivor's Walk at 10 a.m.
Where: Huntsville Middle School, 817 Adams Street
How much: $40 on Friday at Huntsville Middle School from 5-7 p.m., no race day registration, lizhurleyribbonrun.org., 256-265-8077.

I'd like to think of myself as a "semi" handy man. I grew up in a family of laborers, so some of the "fix it" mentality has rubbed off on me. My most recent project was re-insulating the attic. I've experienced the house for a full barrage of seasons now and have found many of the flaws within. One problem last winter had been ice damming on the roof. So I made a note to myself to figure out the culprit over the spring/summer. After getting a few people in to give me their opinions, it basically boiled down to the heat getting into the attic. I felt that this was a task I could do myself. I held out until just before it started getting cold out and, luckily, insulation went on sale at my local Menards. As I was up in the attic I could see why there was a problem. There were spots that had such a thin layer of insulation that you could almost feel the heat coming through. Now, my attic is sealed tight, and hopefully this will save us money on heating costs and prevent the damming.
I'm the same way with computers. However, instead of the term "Handy Man", I get terms like "troubleshooter" or "computer guy". I don't mind, but you'd figure that people would finally come up with a consensus on something. Best Buy has the "geek squad" and Apple has their "genius". Those terms I do not like, nor would I like to be called any of them. A geek is a side show attraction at a carnival, and calling myself a genius is completely pretentious. Then again, those Apple people do think highly of themselves. You'd figure a company that prides themselves on being bug free and user friendly wouldn't have a need for a tech support crew, let alone "geniuses" to fix problems. I like my PCs, and I like products that give me more protection and function controls. ASUS has a full lineup of motherboards, but I've always had a fondness for the Sabertooth.
The ASUS Sabertooth 990FX is another solid board offered from ASUS. The Sabertooth 990FX offers all of the same TUF features, but on the AMD platform. The chipset is comprised of the AMD 990FX/SB950 with the newest AM3+ CPU socket. This will support all of the newest CPUs up to 8 cores and 140W. Memory support is up to 32GB and 1866Mhz DDR3 DRAM. The term TUF means "The Ultimate Force" and ASUS uses that to label a model of boards that goes that extra step to ensure total reliability and stability. All of the capacitors, MOSFETs, and chokes are comprised of a special alloy and are certified to meet military standards. In addition, this model includes a CeraM!X heatsink coating that allows 50% larger area for heat dissipation. Another feature of the Sabertooth is the thermal radar.

What is in this article?:
- Yield Champ Grows 429-Bushel Corn Efficiently
- Inputs used
More About:
It's no small feat to efficiently grow 429-bu. irrigated corn, especially when your watershed heads to the Chesapeake Bay. But Charles City, VA, corn-yield champ David Hula used stewardship and intensive management of his no-till ground to win the 2011 National Corn Growers Association yield contest.
"We have to be good stewards of our land and inputs, because we farm in the Chesapeake Bay area," says Hula, who grows corn, soybeans, wheat, barley and oats with his two brothers, Jeff and Johnny, and his retired father Stanley. The family has practiced continuous no-till, or what they call "never-till" since the mid-1980s to protect against soil and nutrient loss. They also use cover crops and crop rotation to improve soil health and minimize insect and disease pressure.
Along with soil and crop considerations, the family keeps a close eye on their production costs. "In our irrigated program for ordinary soils, the cost of production (not including rent) ran $2.31/bu. and the yields averaged 296 bu./acre last year," Hula says, who counts fixed and variable costs and all equipment, labor and input costs in his calculations. "On our high-yielding ground (which includes the contest field), the cost of production/bu. ran $2.52/bu., and the yields averaged 411 bu./acre."
Hula relies on a Valley center pivot, with an irrigation scheduling system, to help decide when and how much to irrigate. He also uses irrigation to cool down the corn when the weather turns too hot. However, he uses machinery, not irrigation, to apply nutrients and crop protection products.
With nitrogen (N) ranking near the top input cost required to raise corn while also being a volatile element that can be lost to the environment, Hula is careful in how much he applies and how he applies it. "We figure it takes 1 lb. of N/acre to produce 1 bu. of corn," says Hula. "On our contest field, we applied 386 lbs. of N/acre and achieved a 429 bu./acre yield, so we were very N efficient."

Two weeks ago, the state's current deer study leader, Scott Durham, predicted Louisiana hunters would see more deer and healthier deer this hunting season.
The state's former deer study leader, David Moreland, couldn't agree more.
Moreland told a group of seminar attendees on Saturday that he's encouraged by what he's run across in the woods in recent weeks.
"This year, I'm seeing acorns again. We've had much better spring and summer rain," he said. "The rain has been really great. Things are looking good for this year if we can get the weather to cooperate."
Deer herds were hit hard in 2011 by severe drought and abnormally high summer temperatures. Last year was wetter and milder, but Hurricane Isaac's passage in late August caused significant habitat destruction, particularly in South Louisiana.
This summer, though, has been exceptionally mild, and that has helped plants to survive that normally wilt and perish in the blazing heat.
"My clover and chicory that I planted last year, I'm thinking all I'm going to do is just lightly clip it again and fertilize it and let it go," Moreland said. "I can't see plowing up root stock and planting new seed."

Samuel Daniel Poems
Love Is A Sickness
LOVE is a sickness full of woes,
All remedies refusing;
A plant that with most cutting grows,
Most barren with best using.
Why so?
More we enjoy it, more it dies;
If not enjoy'd, it sighing cries--
Heigh ho!
Love is a torment of the mind,
A tempest everlasting;
And Jove hath made it of a kind
Not well, nor full nor fasting.
Why so?
More we enjoy it, more it dies;
If not enjoy'd, it sighing cries-- ...
Sonnet Xlix: How Long
How long shall I in mine affliction mourn,
A burden to myself, distress'd in mind?
When shall my interdicted hopes return
From out despair wherein they live confin'd?
When shall her troubled brow charg'd with disdain
Reveal the treasure which her smiles impart?
When shall my faith the happiness attain
To break the ice that hath congeal'd her heart?
Unto herself, herself my love doth summon,

Dr. Delia Manjoney comes from a family that includes several physicians—namely, her father, two of her uncles and four siblings. "Having family members as medical professionals gives me a different perspective on things," she says. She graduated magna cum laude from Roanoke College before earning her medical degree from the University of Vermont College of Medicine. She completed her internship and residency in pediatrics at the University of Texas Children's Medical Center and a partial fellowship in pediatric cardiology at UCSF before she made the decision to go into ophthalmology. Ophthalmology, she says, is a "nice blend of patient contact, strong interpersonal relationships and surgery," adding that "it is very rewarding to be able to restore someone's vision." Dr. Manjoney practiced comprehensive ophthalmology with her father for 15 years before going into solo practice. She specializes in cataract surgery, treatment of glaucoma and general ophthalmology. About three years ago, she began to offer cosmetic procedures because some of her female patients were expressing a desire to look younger and she welcomed the opportunity to learn a new application for Botox®—a treatment that ophthalmologists have been using for more than 20 years for other disorders of and near the eyes.Whatever treatment and surgery she does, Dr. Manjoney makes sure that her patients understand what they can expect after the procedure because nothing in medicine is going to be perfect. "It's a compromise," she says. "It's not going to be like when they were 16, but it's going to be better than their current situation." She is also forthright with her staff. "I stress to my staff to treat patients the way that they would want to be treated," she says. "It doesn't matter if a doctor's skills are great. If a patient isn't treated well, he or she won't come back. This is really a team effort."

I just bought a 2000 corvette 6 speed and it will roll on a steep grade in first gear. The cylinder compression is between 170-180psi and the clutch is holding firm, not slipping. Is this normal for an LS1 6 speed?
The car has 79,000 miles and is in great shape. The car was a one owner and driven most of the year in southern Ohio. Except for the heater fan making a little noise and the brakes needing changed this is the only concern I have. Engine is strong and runs very smooth and no smoke even under heavy acceleration.
1 Answer
Debbie- Yes, theis is normal, but you shouldn't be using your manual transmission to hold your car on a slope. Any manual transmission car will roll on you if the slope is steep enough . Unlike an automatic transmission which can hold you on a hill without damaging your car, on a manual you are putting excess stress on your drive system by using the transmission to hold your car on a hill. Use the emergency brake always and give the drivetrain a rest. It sounds like you got a real nice Corvette, Enjoy it. Good luck from Bovan.

[Verse 1]
When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
[Verse 2]
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
"Bridge over Troubled Water" is the titular song of Simon & Garfunkel's album of the same name. The single was released on January 26, 1970, though it also appears on the live album Live 1969, which was released in 2008. This song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on February 28, 1970, and reigned at the top chart for six continuous weeks. "Bridge over Troubled Water" also topped the adult contemporary chart in the U.S. for six weeks. The single has sold 6 million copies worldwide.
This song's recording process exposed many of the underlying tensions that eventually led to the breakup of the duo after the album's completion. Most notably, Paul Simon has repeatedly expressed regret over his insistence thatArt Garfunkel sang his song as a solo, as it focused attention on Garfunkel and relegated Simon to a secondary position. Art Garfunkel initially did not want to sing the lead vocals, feeling it was not right for him. "He felt I should have done it," Paul Simon revealed to Rolling Stone in 1972. Garfunkel said that the moment when he performed it at a 1972 Madison Square Garden benefit concert, as part of a one-off reunion with Simon, was "almost biblical."
Rolling Stone ranked it 48th on their list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

BIG RAPIDS - The tradition-rich Ferris State University women's golf team continues to get it done under third-year head coach Mike Mignano.
For the ninth straight year, the Bulldogs are going dancing as they have advanced to the NCAA Division II Women's Golf Super Regionals. Ferris will compete in Super Regional One (East Region) May 2-4 at the Rivercut Golf Course in Springfield, Mo. The announcement was made on Monday (April 26) by the NCAA Division II Women's Golf Committee which has Drury University as host of the event. Ferris has had some success in NCAA post-season competition - including a few runs deep into the national tournament after winning regional titles during the 2003-04 season and the 2006-07 season. Second-place finishes were earned in 2004-05, 2005-06, 2007-08, and 2008-09.
Ferris is a younger team this year in contrast to some of those more veteran squads that had success under former head coach Brad Bedortha. But, these young Bulldogs are playing solid golf and could be primed for a run if the shots fall their way against the best of the best in the region come early May.
NCAA Division II Women's Golf Super Regional One (East Region):
Rivercut Golf Course
Springfield, Mo., Drury University (host)
May 2-4
East Region Teams:
1. Grand Valley State
2. Indianapolis
3. California (Pa.)
4. Ashland
5. Drury
6. Southern Indiana
7. Northern Kentucky
8. Missouri-St. Louis
9. Ferris State
