Manny Hamelburg, 68, a retired businessman, had fought prostate cancer for years. First, he tried radiation, then a drug with side effects that nearly killed him, and finally Lupron, a drug that blocks production of testosterone, the hormone that can fuel prostate cancer. The cancer disappeared. But life was miserable. Without normal levels of testosterone, Hamelburg says, he had no energy, and "zero libido for seven years. I was like a eunuch. I was chemically castrated. Sex was just hugs."

Billionaire developer Philip Anschutz is committed to the idea of an NFL stadium in downtown Los Angeles and is willing to buy a team himself in order to make the deal work, his top executive said Monday.

Auto leasing deals abound these days, with offers that often seem too good to be true. How about a well-equipped Honda Accord for $250 a month with no down payment or any other drive-off fees? Or better yet, $199 a month for a Chevrolet Malibu? So, what's the catch? There isn't any if you know what you're getting into. There are always details. You need top-tier credit to qualify. You pay a penalty if you turn that Honda in with more than 36,000 miles. And the payment is not $250 a month because of that little matter of tax. It is more like $275, depending on where you live.

AEG billionaire Philip Anschutz is committed to the idea of an NFL stadium in downtown Los Angeles and is willing to buy an entire team -- as opposed to just a part of one -- in order to make the deal work, his top executive said Monday. "Phil is now completely engaged in this process," said Tim Leiweke, AEG's president and chief executive. "And the only thing he won't do is get leveraged to the point of doing a stupid deal on a team. But if this is about finding a win-win for the NFL and Phil Anschutz, he is prepared to write that check now, subject to getting done with the [environmental impact report]

So how many omega-3 fatty acids are enough — and how should you get them? That likely depends on your age and your specific health concerns. The United States does not yet have guidelines for DHA or EPA, and consensus among nutrition experts is elusive. But specialty groups, some governmental agencies and individual experts have started to take a stand. For healthy adults without major medical issues, the European Food Safety Agency recommends a daily dose of 250 milligrams of combined EPA and DHA, while the National Heart Foundation of Australia suggests 500 milligrams.

Like a lot of people, I suffered through a financially difficult 2008. But I intend to continue my Times subscription because of Op-Ed articles such as "The law is on Blagojevich's side" by Erwin Chemerinsky and "Hamas speaks" by Mousa Abu Marzook. These present views that are universally lacking elsewhere. Philip A. Hendricks San Diego

In his remorseless yet compelling 1997 debut film "In the Company of Men," writer-director Neil LaBute revealed how nasty and cruel young white males, clad in an all but impervious armor of entitlement, could take out their frustrations and anger on women. With "The Shape of Things," which he adapted from his 2001 play of the same name, LaBute shows that women are capable of treating men in much the same manner.

To call Dr. Philip Malaad (Thomas Fiscella), a psychiatrist specializing in clinical hypnosis, "unorthodox" would be a gross understatement. In his dealings with a young African woman suffering from panic attacks, he denigrates the other doctors she has seen, threatens to give her a "smack on the bottom" when she challenges him and, strangest of all, invites a journalist to listen to tapes of their sessions. In a therapeutic universe in which TV's Dr.

Ravi Shankar, 91, India's most famous classical musician in the West since his collaborations with Beatle George Harrison and violinist Yehudi Menuhin in the 1960s, makes an infrequent concert appearance when he performs at the Terrace Theater in Long Beach on March 25. Tell me about your upcoming concert. What do you have planned? I do my usual performance, the Indian classical music, playing on my sitar. And I have the usual accompaniment of drums and a drone instrument.

Philip Kuchma brightens as he drives past a vacant lot in Bridgeport, Connecticut's most populated — and poorest — city. "When you see open land like this, it's just such an opportunity," the longtime local developer said. "It could be used for attractive cottages with people walking to the waterfront. " Kuchma, 61, peers through rimless glasses as he gives a tour of his hometown. But you have to wonder: Are the glasses really working? The city is full of abandoned factories and derelict Victorian homes.

Philip Vannatter, the Los Angeles police detective who led the investigation of the 1994 slayings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, has died.

" Vannatter was among the first detectives to arrive at former football star Simpson's mansion in June 1994 after the stabbing deaths of Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole, and her friend, Goldman.

The Partnership Five Cold Warriors and Their Quest to Ban the Bomb Philip Taubman Harper: 496 pp., $29.99 The op-ed article in the Wall Street Journal caught the nuclear world by surprise.

Fire, along with earthquakes, is part of life in California. There is a good life after both, believe us. Our home on a ridge in Marin County burned to the ground 15 years ago. Philip was out of town; Dianne escaped with only her wedding ring. We sold the lot and moved to flatter ground. The house that was subsequently built on our old lot was destroyed along with 40 others in a 1995 wildfire.

They are the six shooters of the NFL, the half-dozen hot-handed quarterbacks who have already thrown for more than 4,000 yards this season. They are from all over the country — New Orleans' Drew Brees, New England's Tom Brady, the New York Giants' Eli Manning, Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers, Detroit's Matthew Stafford, and San Diego's Philip Rivers — and they're throwing the football all over the map. With two games to go, their numbers could shoot...

Reporting from San Diego -- San Diego's Philip Rivers, whose last six games represent the most challenging stretch of his football career, has been benched. But not in the way you might think. Jacksonville's Maurice Jones-Drew isn't starting him as his fantasy quarterback this week. "Tell Philip this," the Jaguars running back said Thursday during a break from preparations for Monday night's game against the Chargers. "I got him on my fantasy team. This week I'm going to have to bench him because he's playing the Jaguars.
