apparently elevated galectin-3 promotes cancer.
has anyone here had their blood monitored for galectin-3(G-3) or used anything to inhibit G-3?
Over the weekend I saw some resaerch to indicate that modified citrus pectin can suppress G-3
All new to me although I think I recall another post mentioning MCP.
thoughts by anyone knowledgable on this welcome
Aug 29, 2012 - 8:51 am
been on mcp almost two years, never miss a day.
its nice to see new research backing up my first naturopath.
i get my mcp of lef. its less than $40 a month.
its worth its weight in gold, i have a little more faith i will make it, when i see my supplement list getting other pioneers independently seeing its benefit.
keep up all the great research, one day these posts will get the 1000 replies they deserve.
now did you know, we are the only place on the planet for state of the art colorectal research. screw the scientists. we have heaps of top class guinea pigs, at least one i know personally. that despite every diet and supplement under the sun can still type.
the research on mcp is vast, google pete and csn and mcp.
it binds stuff, so i try to take it away from my main supplements.
i also use it for chelation with a dash of alginate.

I mix it with veggie greens in a bullet blender. It's hard to mix it unless you really use a blender MCP doesn't like to dissolve and it clumps, but with blending you can make it in smoothies.

Thanks for the infor and links. There is actually quite a good review of MCP on the ACS site at:
There is a risk in looking at things that cause cancer then thinking about measuring them then eliminating from the body and the diet and then treating them- the list very rapidly becomes rather large. One quite good lite lists those things that are associated with cancer according to epidemiological studies as including:
Acetaldehyde, acrylamide, acrylonitril, abortion, agent orange, alar, alcohol, air pollution, aldrin, alfatoxin, arsenic, arsine, asbestos, asphalt fumes, atrazine, AZT, baby food, barbequed meat, benzene, benzidine, benzopyrene, beryllium, beta-carotene, betel nuts, birth control pills, bottled water, bracken, bread, breasts, brooms, bus stations, calcium channel blockers, cadmium, candles, captan, carbon black, carbon tetrachloride, careers for women, casual sex, car fumes, celery, charred foods, cooked foods, chewing gum, Chinese food, Chinese herbal supplements, chips, chloramphenicol, chlordane, chlorinated camphene, chlorinated water, chlorodiphenyl, chloroform, cholesterol, low cholesterol, chromium, coal tar, coffee, coke ovens, crackers, creosote, cyclamates, dairy products, deodorants, depleted uranium, depression, dichloryacetylene, DDT, dieldrin, diesel exhaust, diet soda, dimethyl sulphate, dinitrotouluene, dioxin, dioxane, epichlorhydrin, ethyle acrilate, ethylene, ethilene dibromide, ethnic beliefs,ethylene dichloride, Ex-Lax, fat, fluoridation, flying, formaldehyde, free radicals, french fries, fruit, gasoline, genes, gingerbread, global warming, gluteraldehyde, granite, grilled meat, Gulf war, hair dyes, hamburgers, heliobacter pylori, hepatitis B virus, hexachlorbutadiene, hexachlorethane, high bone mass, hot tea, HPMA, HRT, hydrazine, hydrogen peroxide, incense, infertility, jewellery, Kepone, kissing, lack of exercise, laxatives, lead, left handedness, Lindane, Listerine, low fibre diet, magnetic fields, malonaldehyde, mammograms, manganese, marijuana, methyl bromide, methylene chloride, menopause, microwave ovens, milk hormones, mixed spices, mobile phones, MTBE, nickel, night lighting, night shifts, nitrates, not breast feeding, not having a twin, nuclear power plants, Nutrasweet, obesity, oestrogen, olestra, olive oil, orange juice, oxygenated gasoline, oyster sauce, ozone, ozone depletion, passive smoking, PCBs, peanuts, pesticides, pet birds, plastic IV bags, polio vaccine, potato crisps (chips), power lines, proteins, Prozac, PVC, radio masts, radon, railway sleepers, red meat, Roundup, saccharin, salt, sausage, selenium, semiconductor plants, shellfish, sick buildings, soy sauce, stress, strontium, styrene, sulphuric acid, sun beds, sunlight, sunscreen, talc, tetrachloroethylene, testosterone, tight bras, toast, toasters, tobacco, tooth fillings, toothpaste (with fluoride or bleach), train stations, trichloroethylene, under-arm shaving, unvented stoves, uranium, UV radiation, Vatican radio masts, vegetables, vinyl bromide, vinyl chloride, vinyl fluoride, vinyl toys, vitamins, vitreous fibres, wallpaper, weedkiller (2-4 D), welding fumes, well water, weight gain, winter, wood dust, work, x-rays.
Do you get my point?
Aug 29, 2012 - 7:46 pm
hi steve,
we live in a toxity society, thats why our cancer rates are skyrocketing.
my toxic metals came back, yes super high deadly platinum, i got it for free from my conventional treatment. how many others ?
clearly detox needs to be apart of current oncological approach to cancer.
thats why we are here looking for support, some looking for answers and some looking for hope.
i get your point, but i feel your reply could leave our fellow cancer patients without hope which is often based on science and studies.
the gap between current clinical practice and science is vast.
that gap is costing many lives.
the simple solution to the above problems is functional medicine! and a multi modal approach.
your point about what prevents cancer and then what treats cancer is tragically real to all of us. My rising cea is proof that a detoxed healthy lifestyle so far has not caused my marker to reduce. that said no mets have appeared so far, thankyou god.
as we say here "not one size fits all and time will tell.
ps just my opinion and i appreciate your critical and medical experience
Sep 03, 2012 - 2:46 pm
Sep 03, 2012 - 7:27 pm
Thanks for sharing your research and your cancer journey.
Be well.

My wife uses PectiPure Modified Citrus Pectin, only about 5 grams(1 tsp) per day, among many things. Kind of thick.

Has anyone heard of such an app?

Charles Plymell & Bill Nace – 'Apocalypse Rose'
First published in the mid-1960s, the eponymous poem from Charles Plymell's debut collection Apocalypse Rose — originally printed with an introduction by his psychedelic travelling companion and former roomate, Allan Ginsberg — is a short but evocative instance of his work, and ample indication of why he was entangled with so many of the poets and artists typically imagined at the core of the beat movement. Other than his famous exploits with Neal Cassady and Ginsberg, Plymell has published prolifically over the years; on his own with wife and collaborator Pamela Beach, and later via their Cherry Valley Editions imprint, founded and named after their adopted home in upstate New York.
The whole short sequence is characteristically a refined but passionate conduit into Plymell and Ginsberg's multivalent San Francisco, a still mutant, potentially undetermined space at the time. For their edition, Lenka Lente — in keeping with their distinctive pairings of text and sound — have published Plymell's poem with a 15-minute soundtrack courtesy of Massachusetts-based guitarist Bill Nace. Nace, who runs Open Mouth Records and may ring bells thanks to his Body/Head project with Kim Gordon, turned in something like the perfect accompaniment.
From Plymell's first lines…
"The Juke-box begins its song: / Futuristic mirage blossoms / dimensions of accelerated fortune tellers / Leaving his coffee, / the boy from nowhere / dials any combination of numbers / on the telephone, / smiles under the beat / of NOWHERE TO HIDE."
Nace easily evokes the language and context for Plymell and his work, leading with a restrained guitar and drum loop before he shifts into a more mossy bed of glowing, but similarly arranged field recordings. Different source sounds cycle rhythmically, mapping tones in reflection of the sharp contrasts in Plymell's writing. The text speaks with a particularly colorful angst, one that hangs well in front of the more unsettled trance of Nace's audio. Thanks in part to the uniform aspects of the latter, the weight and rhythm of Plymell's own writing is genuinely accentuated when read with the accompaniment.
Order Apocalypse Rose from Lenka Lente — though based in Paris, this and many of their titles other titles are published in both French and English.

WASHINGTON -- The Federal Bureau of Investigation has issued a warning to businesses to be on the lookout for a new form of cybercrime. Called Business Email Compromise, the criminals hijack or closely mimic a legitimate email address to request wire transfers. In one recent instance, the accountant for a company received an email purported to be from his company's chief executive requesting an immediate transfer of $737,000 to a bank in China. The bogus email, according to the accountant, included the chief executive's signature and company seal.
"BEC is a serious threat on a global scale," said FBI Special Agent Maxwell Marker, who heads up the bureau's Transnational Organized Crime-Eastern Hemisphere Section in the criminal investigative division. "It's a prime example of organized crime groups engaging in large-scale, computer-enabled fraud, and the losses are staggering."
According to law enforcement sources, the scammers are believed to be members of organized crime groups based in Africa, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Far from the familiar scams, such as those including a mysterious "Nigerian Prince," this new generation of criminals does its homework. Not only do they target companies who do business overseas, they may also compromise a company's computer networks to learn language and billing protocols specific to the company, along with typical transfer amounts. This type of criminal sophistication is a far cry from the poorly worded spam scams that have most reasonable people hitting the delete button.
According to the FBI, since the beginning of 2015 there has been a 270% increase in identified BEC victims from all 50 states and nearly 80 countries. The majority of the fraudulent transfers end up in Chinese banks.
"The FBI takes the BEC threat very seriously," Marker said, "and we are working with our law enforcement partners around the world to identify these criminals and bring them to justice."
If you think you have been a victim of a BEC fraud, you can file a complaint with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center.

Issue #67 is pretty typical as far as untimely series finales go. Jeff Parker is able to find a way to tie up most of his loose ends, but there's a generally rushed quality to the story as the end point rapidly nears. Essentially, Parker makes the best of the limited space he has left. If rushed, the conclusion to this year-long saga is largely satisfying. Both the Red and Green She-Hulks enjoy a number of satisfying moments and some significant character growth. There's a very Terminator 2-esque "the future is unwritten" vibe to this finale. The current conflict is over, but Betty and her allies are left in an open state, ready to confront whatever new challenges might or might not come their way.
The only area of disappointment is General Fortean. He receives a bit of a comeuppance, but the ongoing rivalry between he and Betty never feels satisfactorily resolved. But if Parker had to make some sacrifices in order to achieve his finale, better Fortean get the short end of the stick than our heroes.
Visually, this issue is predictably haphazard as well. Patrick Oliffe joins the usual duo of Weillinton Alves and Carlo Pagulayan. Though none of the three styles clash much, most pages have a somewhat loose quality that lacks the scale and texture of earlier issues.
It's not an ideal finish for the series, but Parker and his artists made the best of what space they had left. Together they crafted a terrific and annoyingly under-appreciated book, and I can only hope that the ending is teasing more to come from this quirky cast of heroes.

A Question of Nomenclature: What is a Neighborhood?
What, exactly, is a neighborhood? People on all sides of the urban conversation talk about neighborhoods, trotting them out to support everything from transit oriented development to the suburban status quo, from Smart Growth to no growth. Formal definitions vary, but few include criteria beyond a set of distinctive characteristics shared by a contiguous geographic area inhabited by people who behave neighborly. Which, despite its vagueness, sounds sensible enough. Imprecise, but sensible. And yet, when I think about the neighborhoods I've lived in, or spent time in, few of them fit even this ambiguous definition.

The High Cost of Ignoring Beauty
Architecture clearly illustrates the social, environmental, economic, and aesthetic costs of ignoring beauty. We are being torn out of ourselves by the loud gestures of people who want to seize our attention but give nothing in return.

Shapes of Everyday Life
Vernacular architecture is traditional architecture. It gives a visible face and functional core to local patterns, ethnic and regional character. In our efforts to read this character through the everyday buildings around us, we look for recurring meaningful patterns. Traditions in vernacular architecture may last for generations, but they do change over time as social, economic and technological conditions change. To follow these changeable patterns, researchers have sorted vernacular buildings into sets of types, based on form, which demonstrate their evolution across time and space.

Site Analysis: Hawkins Court, Sarasota, Florida
Hawkins Court calls to mind Dutch woonerven, which allow autos to travel at foot speed through pedestrian space, as well as the (also Dutch) principle of "shared space," in which all road users are given equal status and lines, signs, and signals are removed, is more applicable. Despite being only three blocks from Main Street, Hawkins Court manages to conjure something of the idyllic neighborhood vibe associated with the early days of suburbia and Small Town, USA.

Universal Beauty and the Responsibility of Cities
In chapter eight of Anthony M. Tung's erudite and impressive Preserving the World's Great Cities: The Destruction and Renewal of the Historic Metropolis, there is a passage that stopped me in my proverbial tracks and hasn't left my thoughts since. Tung is writing about Amsterdam at the dawn of the 20th century:
As parts of the inner city became slums and were threatened with clearance, and as picturesque canals were filled in to create new roads and better circulation, elements of the historic environment began to be eliminated. Growing numbers of citizens became alarmed and called for preservation of the historic center. In addition, a new ring of speculative housing began to surround the old metropolis. Numerous Amsterdammers began to ask that the expansion of the city meet a reasonable standard of beauty. Continue reading

Android Loses a Pair of Senior Members
Senior Product Manager and Senior Software Engineer take flight.
Yesterday, Senior Android Product Manager Erick Tseng left Google for Facebook as the head of mobile products. Tseng worked at Google for four years, with previous stints at Yahoo and Microsoft.
Tseng announced his career change via his Twitter account. Tseng has a B.S. in Computer Science & Electrical Engineering from MIT and an MBA in General Management from Stanford.
On the heels of that announcement comes word that Cedric Beust, Android Senior Software Engineer is leaving for an undisclosed position at LinkedIn.
Beust worked for Google for six years, working directly on Java (he's written two books on the subject), then the Gmail team before joining Android. Beust graduated the Universite of Sophia Antipolis with a PhD in computer science.
No word yet on how Google plans to fill these two positions.

I am such a novice at this and really need some advice on what I should be looking for.
Plzzzz help 🙂

Comparative metagenomics reveals impact of contaminants on groundwater microbiomes
To understand patterns of geochemical cycling in pristine versus contaminated groundwater ecosystems, pristine shallow groundwater (FW301) and contaminated groundwater (FW106) samples from the Oak Ridge Integrated Field Research Center (OR-IFRC) were sequenced and compared to each other to determine phylogenetic and metabolic difference between the communities. Proteobacteria (e.g., Burkholderia, Pseudomonas) are the most abundant lineages in the pristine community, though a significant proportion ( >55%) of the community is composed of poorly characterized low abundance (individually <1%) lineages. The phylogenetic diversity of the pristine community contributed to a broader diversity of metabolic networks than the contaminated community. In addition, the pristine community encodes redundant and mostly complete geochemical cycles distributed over multiple lineages and appears capable of a wide range of metabolic activities. In contrast, many geochemical cycles in the contaminated community appear truncated or minimized due to decreased biodiversity and dominance by Rhodanobacter populations capable of surviving the combination of stresses at the site. In conclusion, these results indicate that the pristine site contains more robust and encodes more functional redundancy than the stressed community, which contributes to more efficient nutrient cycling and adaptability than the stressed community.

Michael Jordan is among the greatest basketball players of all time. Russell Westbrook is one of the best of the present.
But the Pro Basketball Hall of Famer and Charlotte Hornets owner sees similar qualities in the Oklahoma City Thunder superstar that drove his own career to legendary heights: passion and loyalty.
Jordan introduced Westbrook Thursday at his induction into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, heaping praise on a player, whose current averages of 31.8 points, 9.8 assists and 9.5 make him a front-runner for this season's MVP award.
"I'm truly a fan of his," Jordan said. "If you can ever say, being that we're so many years apart, that I can now watch him play, I see a lot of resemblance in his passion for the game of basketball in the way I play the game of basketball.
"Another thing you guys should be proud of is the sense of loyalty this kid has shown. He could've easily come to Charlotte. But he decided to stay here in Oklahoma."
Jordan's compliment's nearly floored Westbrook.
"Michael's obviously the best that ever played the game," Westbrook said, per The Associated Press. "He's done so many things for the game of basketball, so many ways and broken so many barriers for guys like myself to be able to go out and compete at a high level, so it means a lot in that aspect. Off the court, he's carried a great brand. It's something I eventually want to do when I'm done."
Westbrook trails Jordan by five MVP awards and six NBA championships, but apparently he's on the right track.

Skip to comments.A Proud Moment
Posted on 07/13/2012 5:01:42 AM PDT by Kaslin
Mitt Romney delivered one of the best speeches of the year at the NAACP meeting in Houston. It made me proud to watch him.
Romney was wise to accept the invitation -- though, God knows, the temptation to decline must have been tremendous. The NAACP hasn't exactly covered itself in glory over the past few years. In 2000, the organization ran dishonest and disgraceful television and radio ads suggesting that George W. Bush had been somehow indifferent to the horrible lynching of James Byrd in Texas. More recently, the group -- theoretically dedicated to the best interests of black Americans -- has joined teachers unions in attempting to block charter schools and has condemned the tea party movement as racist.
Still, by attending the conference and describing the invitation as an "honor," Romney demonstrated an important trait in a leader: a readiness to be respectful to everyone -- particularly those with whom you disagree. Romney was graciousness itself when he told the group:
"I can't promise that you and I will agree on every issue. But I do promise that your hospitality to me today will be returned. We will know one another, and work to common purposes. I will seek your counsel. And if I am elected president, and you invite me to next year's convention, I would count it as a privilege, and my answer will be yes."
It also demonstrates a strength of character to address a less than supportive audience -- at least in the way Romney did it. He didn't pull his punches or pander. He was forthright, honest and persuasive.
Naturally, the mainstream press focused on the boos he received after promising to repeal Obamacare (though they hardly mentioned the standing ovation at the end). Leading liberals like Nancy Pelosi and Rachel Maddow even accused Romney of getting booed intentionally. "I think it was a calculated move on his part to get booed at the NAACP convention," the House minority leader told Bloomberg TV. Maddow suggested on MSNBC that "he wanted to wear that around his neck like a badge of courage."
It goes without saying that if any conservative group had booed a liberal speaker, Maddow, Pelosi and the gang would be purple with rage about the "intolerance" and "lack of civility" on the right.
But never mind the liberal claque. Romney's speech was a model of what political discourse should be. Rather than minimize his devotion to free enterprise, Romney embraced it with a fresh and effective image:
"I am also a believer in the free-enterprise system. I believe it can bring change where so many well-meaning government programs have failed. I've never heard anyone look around an impoverished neighborhood and say: 'You know, there's too much free enterprise around here. Too many shops, too many jobs, too many people putting money in the bank.'"
Nice. As with the true story of Romneycare (a subject I addressed in a recent column), Romney had a good story to tell about his record in Massachusetts. Romney had pushed for higher standards, merit pay for outstanding teachers and greater parental choice through expanded charter schools. This provoked the ire of the Massachusetts teachers unions, who were able to get the legislature to pass a moratorium on new charter schools. Romney recalled: "As governor, I vetoed the bill blocking charter schools. But our legislature was 87 percent Democrat, and my veto could have been easily overridden. So I joined with the Black Legislative Caucus, and their votes helped preserve my veto, which meant that new charter schools, including some in urban neighborhoods, would be opened."
In one deft stroke, Romney placed himself on the side of poor kids who deserve better from the education system, while also reminding his somewhat hidebound audience that many African-Americans agree with him.
Finally, while few seemed to notice, Romney mentioned one aspect of his planned reform of entitlements that contradicts the caricature of him as the candidate of the rich. As part of a plan to reduce soaring entitlement spending, he said, he would reform Social Security and Medicare, "in part by means-testing their benefits."
Is this not exactly the sort of straight talk pundits and analysts are forever lamenting the lack of in our politics? Is it not the polar opposite of the interest group chuck wagon President Obama has been driving for months?
It is. And if Romney keeps this up, it will be remembered as a turning point in the campaign.
Warning: this thread contains live Rinomona charens. A mildly contagious disease of the forebrain, Rinomona is spread by frequent or sustained contact with infected persons.
Screw the views of the white trash MSM........ they are all American enemies devoted to moving Europe west to encompass all of the United States.
He has guts as we would say as kids.
I agree, he took the high ground and it will be interesting to see if that tac will succeed.
Groups conditioned to irresponsible and thuggish candidates can't be expected to respond readily when they are appealed to as the equivalent of educated and rational adults deserving of honest dealing and dignified leadership.

It was a better world when we were kids.
Regardless of your views as to the "conservative" status of Romney, it seems apparent that we here at Free Republic need to go all in for Mitt. He showed me something by goiong in front of a leftist bunch of race-grievance mongers, and did not pull any punches nor say what they like to hear. The reactions from the likes of Pelosi and MSNBC tells me Romney did well.
We cannot fail our mission to eject Barack Obama from the White House. We will not fail. We need all hands on deck.
Glenn Beck praised Romney's NAACP appearance thusly:
"He went into the lions' den with steak in his pocket and after smearing himself with raw hamburger."
Romney did better than Obama in that setting.
Romney could not have handled the situation better than he did.
He didn't kick a$# and he didn't kiss a$#-but they can't say he didn't HONESTLY represent himself and the Conservative position.
He did NOT approach them as if they were victims. From this point on if they CHOOSE to continue THAT charade, they will forfeit their status as co-equals and actual equivalents of EVERY OTHER VOTING AMERICAN!
It was a better world then. At least you could believe in something
"I agree, he took the high ground and it will be interesting to see if that tac will succeed."
High ground, low ground, makes no difference.
Obama will take 90-93% of "the black vote" this time, in any case. Perhaps even a slightly higher percentage...
I believe in something now.
Liberals banking on such a high percentage of minority votes is the 'work around' which forever faces Conservatives.
I am saying that in view of this, Romney did as well and better than most Conservatives in addressing an audience so inimical to him personally or to Conservatives, generally
oh good point, yeah I am a Catholic and really what I meant was that the country stood for something. Now people are money grubbers and nothing else
I understand. I was thinking, when I read your original post, that when we were young we would say a person has guts, or nerve, or determination, or courage, or discipline. Now they just say "balls." I hate it.
But I snicker when people use "cajones" as a term of respect, because it means "boxes" or "drawers."
oh that is hilarious
Back around 1800, they would say a person had "bottom," in the context where we're using "guts." And there's some language in which one expresses affection by saying, "My liver yearns for you!"
I have read that in Aramaic, "heart" more literally translates into "liver"
The King James Version uses "bowels." "Bless your bowels, honey!" I sometimes say, when someone has really irritated me.

Barb from Butler Pa writes,
If I spray my vinyl siding with Bayer Advanced 2 in 1 Moss & Algae RTS do I need to follow with a water rinse?
I am afraid that the finish on the house siding will be effected by leaving the spray on too long.
The Bayer Advanced 2 in 1 Moss and Algae Killer RTS does not indicate the need to rinse after applying. It only states that if moss is dry to water the moss till wet to help the product adhere to the treatment area. We recommend contacting Bayer Advanced directly as we can only advise on what the label states. You may contact Bayer Advanced at 877-229-3724 for details.

The Best Lighting-Control Gadgets
From motion controlled lamps to Wi-Fi lightbulbs, a look at the brightest ideas in lighting gadgets
WHEN MY WIFE and I first starting dating, I'm fairly sure she considered dumping me when she saw the lighting system in my apartment. Using a line of products called X10, I had arranged to control my lamps with a small remote. If I pressed the button I'd designated "work," my desk lamp would turn on while my bedside light would shut off. The "relax" button dimmed all the lamps to a soft glow. At night, I could push another button to shut everything off.
Luckily, my wife saw me for who I was and not as someone solely obsessed with dorky light shows. We have kids now, and so I'm less interested in automated mood lighting than in getting the bathroom light to illuminate automatically whenever someone under 3 feet tall enters. Our children can't quite reach the switch yet, and having to turn the light on for them every time gets old.
The lighting-gadget landscape has evolved, too. X10 has given way to fancier solutions, many of which let you control lights using a smartphone. While the idea of swiping a touch screen to turn a lamp on and off initially appealed to me, after testing these products, I've come to realize that a smartphone isn't nearly as convenient as a light switch. A switch never runs out of battery or crashes, and, unlike an app, it isn't sluggish: There often seems to be a slight delay when you use a smartphone to beam commands, but a switch responds instantly.
That said, the newest lighting solutions are fun to use. Even if I never turn off my lights with the Internet, I find it somehow empowering to know that I can. And even my wife has come to appreciate the motion-sensing light I've installed in our bathroom.
Below, you'll find four solutions that offer maximum convenience with minimal fuss—systems that your own loved ones will hopefully come to embrace.
Best for Tinkering: Insteon Starter Kit
Geek Appeal: Among home-automation nerds—the guys who set their televisions and coffee makers to turn on automatically in the morning and their curtains to close at night—Insteon ( insteon.com ) has long been the system of choice. So tackling basic tasks—like setting up a motion-activated or smartphone-controlled light—is no problem.
Required Gizmos:The beginner-friendly Insteon Starter Kit ($120) includes lamp dimmers you can plug a light into to control it via smartphone. You also get a boxy hub that you'll need to connect to your home network. A remote-control Insteon LED Bulb ($30, shown) is also available, but it isn't quite as bright as the Philips Hue bulb (see below) and its light quality isn't as rich. Still, the Insteon system includes a broad range of compatible products, from motion sensors ($35) to thermostats ($150) to wall-mounted dimmer switches ($50). Just keep in mind that if you want to control your system over the Internet, you'll need to adjust advanced settings in your home router (a process that Insteon's tech support can walk you through).
Neatest Trick: If you're into tinkering, the Insteon system is by far the most tweakable. The free smartphone app can schedule lights to turn on and off at sunrise and sunset. Or put the Insteon Water Leak Sensor ($35) in your basement to get a text or email if it detects flooding. Insteon also makes a smoke sensor ($35) that communicates with certain smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors. If an alarm gets triggered, the system turns on all your connected lights to ensure a safe exit.
Most Reliable: Lutron Maestro Wireless
Geek Appeal: The Lutron Maestro Wireless system ( lutronstore.com ) is the most bulletproof solution for turning lights on and off automatically when you enter and leave a room (no arm flailing required).
Required Gizmos: Plug a lamp you want to control into a Maestro Wireless Lamp Module ($99). Then mount a Radio Powr Savr Wireless Occupancy Sensor ($85) onto the ceiling (the internal battery lasts an astounding 10 years). You can also control lights from up to 30 feet away using a Pico remote control ($25), which can be attached to your car's visor or mounted to a wall to look exactly like a light switch.
Neatest Trick: The system doesn't connect to the Internet, so you can't control it with a smartphone (horror!). But it uses a band of radio frequencies that is less prone to interference than Wi-Fi. In our tests, the system was as reliable as a light switch.
Best for Accent Lighting: Philips Hue
Geek Appeal: For those who have always dreamed of creating Vegas-style lighting effects in their own living room, Hue ( meethue.com ) is the answer. The system's bulbs can emit splashy colors, from a subtle and calming sunset orange to saturated blues and greens that make you feel like you've boarded a spaceship. The smartphone app lets you control the lights from afar, too.
Required Gizmos:The Hue Starter Kit ($200) includes three bulbs and a puck-shaped hub that plugs into your home network router. (Up to 50 additional bulbs, $60 each, can be connected.) After pairing the hub with the Hue app for Android or iOS, you'll be able to dim the bulbs, change their color and turn them on and off using your smartphone. One especially nice feature for those who constantly misplace their phone: If a bulb is turned off, you can turn it on by flipping the lamp's switch a few times (this also resets the color to white).
Even compared with standard LED bulbs, Hue's specs are stellar: The bulbs emit a warm white light (2,700K), and their color-rendering index—a good measure of how natural-looking the light quality is—comes in at an impressive 91 out of 100. However, like many LED bulbs of this type, they aren't very bright. Each puts out the equivalent of a 50-watt incandescent bulb.
This makes Hue better suited for creating dramatic wall washes than for work. Two new additions to the Hue range play up that strength. The LivingColors Bloom ($80) is a stand-alone accent light that emits even more intense colors than the standard Hue bulb (although it doesn't do plain white). And LightStrips ($90)—a thin ribbon of LEDs that can be cut to fit using scissors and attached using included double-sided tape—are ideal for creating an ambient glow in the color of your choice under kitchen cabinets or a bookshelf.
Neatest Trick: A recent update to the Hue app lets you schedule lights to turn on and off, or even fade in slowly (so you can create a gentle, light-based alarm clock). The app gives you the option of automatically turning your lights off whenever you leave the house with your smartphone. And third-party apps unleash wackier functions. Hue Disco ($3, iOS only), for example, can bring home the nightclub vibe: It causes Hue bulbs to flash and change the color in time to music.
Easiest to Connect to a Smartphone: Belkin WeMo Switch + Motion
Geek Appeal: The Belkin WeMo ( belkin.com ) is one of the easiest ways to get your smartphone to control a light—or even a small appliance (the WeMo's max load is 1,800 watts).
Required Gizmos: The system is most useful for getting a light to turn on automatically when you enter a room. For that, you'll need the WeMo Switch + Motion bundle ($80). It includes a device that looks like a small surge protector (shown) that you plug your lamp into, and another plug-in gizmo with a small motion sensor that you place on a shelf or table. (Because it has a cord, it's harder to position than the Lutron and Insteon sensors).
Neatest Trick: Pairing the free WeMo app for Android or iOS with the system is painless and doesn't require you to connect anything to your home router. Like Hue, WeMo can tap into a Web service called IFTTT that makes it easy for newbies to customize the system using "recipes" that more experienced users have written: one recipe, for example, turns on a light automatically at sunset each day, another lets you control lights by sending a text message.

DUBLIN, Ireland, Oct. 1 (UPI) -- Ireland's move to guarantee all national bank deposits has other European countries scrambling to level the financial playing field.
France is considering copying the Irish and European regulators are investigating whether Ireland's move to guarantee $400 billion in savings and loans held by six of its largest financial institutions for two years constitutes anti-competitive behavior, The Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday.
Britain has brought the issue up with the European Union.
"We just want the Irish government to look quite closely at the arrangements they are putting in place to make sure they comply with EU competition law," a spokesman for Prime Minister Gordon Brown said.
EU Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes said she was communicating with Irish officials.
Bankers contend European governments and regulators will now have either copy the Irish model or exert pressure on Ireland to rescind its actions.

Depression is not a disease. It is a symptom.
Recent years have seen a shocking increase in antidepressant use the world over, with one in four women starting her day with medication. These drugs have steadily become the panacea for everything from grief, irritability, and panic attacks to insomnia, PMS, and stress. But the truth is, what women really need can't be found at a pharmacy.
According to Dr. Kelly Brogan, antidepressants not only overpromise and underdeliver, but their use may permanently disable the body's self-healing potential. We need a new paradigm: The best way to heal the mind is to heal the whole body.
In this groundbreaking science-based and holistic approach, Dr. Brogan shatters the mythology conventional medicine has built around the causes and treatment of depression. Based on her expert interpretation of published medical findings combined with years of experience from her clinical practice, Dr. Brogan illuminates the true cause of depression: It is not simply a chemical imbalance but a lifestyle crisis that demands a reset. It is a signal that the interconnected systems in the body are out of balance - from blood sugar to gut health to thyroid function - and inflammation is at the root.
A Mind of Your Own offers an achievable, step-by-step 30-day action plan - including powerful dietary interventions, targeted nutrient support, detoxification, sleep, and stress reframing techniques - women can use to heal their bodies, alleviate inflammation, and feel like themselves again without a single prescription.
Bold, brave, and revolutionary, A Mind of Your Own takes listeners on a journey of self-empowerment for radical transformation that goes far beyond symptom relief.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets' starting quarterback job is essentially open as of now.
Team owner Woody Johnson and coach Rex Ryan said Tuesday that Mark Sanchez's contract will not be a determining factor in who starts next season. Sanchez is guaranteed $8.25 million next season whether he starts or not.
"The financial part of it will not have any of the considerations for it," Ryan said. "We'll play the player that fits what we do best."
Johnson then tried to downplay the significance of displacing Sanchez, who was handpicked by Ryan to be the franchise quarterback in 2009, the coach's first season with the team.
"I think pretty much every year there's competition among players," Johnson said.
The Jets also have quarterbacks Tim Tebow and Greg McElroy on the roster.
Johnson and Ryan said the quarterback decision -- and many others -- will be made in conjunction with hiring a new general manager and offensive and defensive coordinators. The Jets are launching a search for replacements after former GM Mike Tannenbaum was fired the day after the season, offensive coordinator Tony Sparano was fired Monday and defensive coordinator Mike Pettine's contract expired. The Jets will move quickly to replace Pettine, with secondary coach Dennis Thurman likely to be promoted.
Falcons director of player personnel Dave Caldwell is scheduled to interview Tuesday for the second time for the Jets' open GM position, a league source told ESPN. Caldwell, who is a finalist for the Jaguars' GM vacancy, interviewed for a third time with Jacksonville on Monday.
Sanchez took the team to the AFC Championship Game in both of his first two seasons with the team, but struggled mightily this season after the team brought in Tebow as a backup and option specialist. Despite two seasons left on his rookie deal, Johnson and Ryan did not commit to having Tebow back, either.
"Tim is under contract right now with our football team, and that's what I know," Ryan said.
Sanchez threw 18 interceptions, and his 36 over the past two seasons lead the NFL in that time period. This season he threw only 13 touchdowns and was ultimately removed from the starting spot for McElroy in Week 16, although Sanchez started the finale after McElroy was ruled out with a concussion.
The Jets are interested in trading Sanchez, but his contract is a bit of an albatross. With a cap number of $12.8 million if they keep him, the Jets would take a $17.1 million cap hit if they cut him. The team could try to rework his contract in order to invite a trade, but there is no way to discard the quarterback without a financial ripple effect on the entire roster.
The straitjacket of Sanchez's contract could be one of the reasons Tannenbaum, rather than Ryan, took the fall after the Jets' poor showing.
ESPNNewYork.com's Rich Cimini and ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter contributed to this report.

According to Mr. 'Onur Alp Soner'; Countly is an innovative, open source, real-time mobile analytics platform intended for game studios, marketers, agencies, operators, and pretty much everyone with an aim to increase loyalty, user retention and usability of their mobile applications.
Any mobile application developer can start measuring application performance by putting a few lines inside the code.
It's then possible to count users, sessions, find out top countries, carriers, and measure user loyalty and session frequency.
In short, Countly simply shows how your mobile app performs. This is important when you try to understand how the application behaves, together with bottlenecks and issues if there are any.
Countly is an open source project – we chose open source since some other analytics platforms just own your data with agreements, and sell it to third parties without asking you.
We believe that your data is yours, and users should be able to control the data they store in mobile analytics products.
Therefore our goal is to make it easier to move data from one service to another with ease (even between different mobile application services).
With Countly, we are trying to convince people that mobile analytics should be a usual part of their mobile development and project management.
If they understand how their application works, then it's possible to increase loyalty, user retention hence sales.
Mobile analytics in fact is a big chunk of mobile marketing strategy, because it's the only way to measure performance and enhance ROI.
Countly solves the problem of analysing how customers interact with your application by showing important usage data about your application on gorgeous, user-friendly dashboard, so you can focus on the problems of your application, fixing bottlenecks and increasing usability.
While Countly has lots of features that will fit the needs of most companies, organizations and individuals, we are working to make Countly platform-agnostic, in order to track every device in the world like smart TVs, school smart boards or in-car entertainment systems.
With Countly, it's possible to track everything, get data from every device and visualize it – since Countly is open source, writing a simple SDK will suffice to start tracking.
Countly is a growing ecosystem and more than 2500 developers have downloaded Countly.
There are production systems already, some of them being tracking more than 10 applications at the same time.
We are getting continous feedbacks and requests for paid services, and we are thinking on extending our business without sacrificing the basic feature of Countly: being open source and focusing on data liberation.

RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
The swine flu has been a stimulus of sorts for all the health departments around the country that have been short of cash. The federal government has allocated more than a billion dollars to help them ramp up their public response. From California member station Capital Public Radio, Kelley Weiss reports.
KELLEY WEISS: At Sacramento Countys public health department, they're doing something they haven't been able to do for a while: hiring people.
Ms. LYNNAN SVENSSON (Immunization Program Coordinator, Sacramento County): Its a temporary stimulus, but it is a stimulus at a time in which we really needed one.
WEISS: Lynnan Svensson is Sacramento County's immunization program coordinator. She says her health department will get about three-and-a-half million dollars in federal funds to hire a slew of new employees.
(Soundbite of phone dial tones, ringing)
WEISS: Shes been spending a lot of time on the phone figuring out how shell use these new employees at the H1N1 vaccine clinics that start next week.
Ms. SVENSSON: So thats the plan.
Unidentified Woman: OK.
Ms. SVENSSON: Per clinic, we need about 30 nurses and about 30 non-medical individuals.
WEISS: This infusion of federal cash comes at a good time for county health departments around the country. A recent National Association of County and City Health Officials survey found that in a little over a year, local health departments have lost, on average, 10 percent of their workforce. Svensson says Sacramento County Public Health has seen its fair share of staff cuts, so she says the federal money will give her staff a huge boost. Shes getting at least 80 new employees. Thats compared to her normal team of eight part-time employees.
Ms. SVENSSON: We're bringing on some registered nurses, some licensed vocational nurses, as well as office assistants.
WEISS: Without them, she says itd be almost impossible to give out about 2,000 shots at each clinic. And she'll be able to hire back some nurses who were recently let go. Jan Heckey is one of those nurses. She says even though this is a temporary position and a little bittersweet, the paycheck will help her family's budget, especially in the upcoming holiday season.
Ms. JAN HECKEY (Nurse): We have been affected by my not being working. We have definitely had to scale back on expenses and put things on hold.
WEISS: Public health departments around the nation will also be using the federal funds to hire on new temporary staff like Heckey. Jeff Levi is with the public health advocacy group Trust for America's Health. He says during this pandemic, these staff hires are vital.
Mr. JEFF LEVI: Over the last year and a half, it's been estimated that local health departments have lost somewhere around 20,000 positions.
WEISS: Congress approved more than seven-and-a-half billion dollars in emergency funds specifically for the swine flu. More than half of that money went to pay for H1N1 vaccine production. Local health departments will get almost one-and-a-half billion dollars to give out the vaccines. The bigger the county's population, the more funding they get.
Levi says while this money is critical, it's still just a short-term boost.
Mr. LEVI: Those positions that have been at least temporarily saved or restored at the local level because of the pandemic money, those will disappear again once the pandemic is over.
WEISS: But he says there's a bright spot for the future. In the recently passed House of Representatives health care overhaul bill, there's a multibillion-dollar trust fund that includes money for local health departments. But that dedicated revenue stream is not a done deal, because the Senate hasnt weighed in with its version of a health care bill.

Calgary Flames vs. San Jose Sharks - 1/11/16 NHL Pick, Odds, and Prediction
San Jose Sharks (19-18-2) at Calgary Flames (19-18-2)
NHL Hockey: Monday, January 11, 2016 at 9:00 pm (Scotiabank Saddledome)
The Line: Calgary Flames -108 / San Jose Sharks -102 --- Over/Under: 5 See the Latest Odds
The Sharks look to distance themselves from Calgary and get back into a playoff spot as the two Pacific foes meet up in Alberta on Monday.
The San Jose Sharks sit in fifth place in the Pacific division heading into action on Monday night and while they are just six points back of the Coyotes for second they haven't looked the part of a playoff contender this season. The Sharks are as inconsistent as they come and very tough to handicap on a nightly basis but their play on the road has been the bright spot of their season and they'll be looking to find their 14th road win of the year tonight against the Flames. Martin Jones is expected to start as he will go up against Karri Ramo. San Jose is 13-6-2 on the road this season while the Flames are 13-8 at home and also have 40 points through 40 games.
USA TODAY Sports
The Flames were expected to do some damage in the Pacific this season and while they still could very well go on a run and make the playoffs they have certainly been one of the league's biggest underachievers. Calgary has a lot of youth at its core and they will be a talented bunch for many years if they can continue to grow and add a few pieces but that may also mean sacrificing some current top end players at the trade deadline in order to acquire assets and unless they can right the ship soon that may be their only course of action. Calgary is a slight favourite here and while San Jose has been good on the road I like the Flames in this spot to grab two big points.

It's inevitable.
It doesn't matter how loving you are or how articulate you are. No amount of charity and goodwill on your part will help you to avoid it.
If you are seriously committed to following Jesus, you will be called names.
Here are a few of my favorites.
And then there are the ones that I can't print here with this being a family blog and all.
The first step to responding to the name calling is simple. Simple to understand, that is. It's not always simple to apply.
When Paul was on trial for his faith in Christ, we are told that he was cheerful in his defense (Acts 24:10). Peter tells his readers to rejoice because their suffering is a reminder of their union with Christ (1 Peter 4:12-14).
So the next time someone calls you a right-wing, hate-filled Bible thumper because you quote a Bible verse, take it with a smile.
When religious leaders brought Paul before the governor, they referred to him as a "plague." Although much has changed in the hundreds of years since the Paul Plague, some things have not. The world still sees Christians as a plague.
In a world where it's completely normal for grown men to self-identity as six-year-old girls, the absolute worst thing that could be said about any Christian is that they fit right in. But still, that's what many leaders in the church are trying to do. So we have pastors pretending to be celebrities on the Oprah channel and so-called Christian professors wearing Muslim headgear because, "we worship the same god."
The Church will not make a difference in the world by acting just like it. Difference comes by being different. That's what Jesus meant when he told his disciples to be salt and light. Salt is different from the decay around it. Light is different from the darkness. If not, what's the purpose?
The call to follow Christ is a call to be different. Not by making signs that tell people who God hates and screaming on some college campus. And not by dressing like it's the 1800s. No, the difference we are called to make comes by living a lifestyle that reflects the gospel. And no matter how kindly you do that, you will face hardship. Salt and light aren't always welcomed guests.
At best, you will be called names.
But you could also lose your job.
Or family and friends could abandon you.
And you could even have your head removed from the rest of your body.
Regardless of the package that persecution comes to your door wrapped in, take it with a smile. Jesus was ridiculed, abandoned by loved ones, beaten and murdered. Why should you expect to be treated any different from your Master?
It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household. Matthew 10:25 (ESV)
Jesus didn't come to give you a life of ease. He didn't come to make you popular. And he didn't come for your glory. He came for his glory.
And a real good way for that glory to be seen is on the smiling face of one of his followers who has just been called some terrible name.
So the next time you are called a hater, a bigot, a plague or worse, just remember, you're in good company.
And whatever hardship you face on this earth is no match for the eternal joy that awaits you when your time here is done and you are with Christ forever.
Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good. 1 Peter 4:19 (ESV)
