Sage Kotsenburg rides style to top of Olympic podium
- Kotsenburg wins first gold of Sochi Games in his event%27s debut
- Favorite McMorris takes bronze despite rib injury
- Phone call to USA before his run helped Kotsenburg pull off winner
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia – Let's go snowboard, Sage Kotsenburg's coach told him with the biggest competition in his life looming. The 20-year-old American enthusiastically echoed his coach. Let's go snowboard.
He did, and then he won gold.
Kotsenburg became the first American since 1952 to win the first gold medal of a Winter Olympics and only the fourth ever to do so when he won the snowboard slopestyle event at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park on Saturday.
"The best ambassador you could have for snowboarding right now. Just showing the true love of the sport," said Mike Jankowski, head coach of the U.S. Freeskiing and Snowboarding teams.
"To be that stylish is technical. To do those grabs is more difficult than to not. He wants to put his stamp on the run. The course is a canvas and your board is the paintbrush, and he's really doing that to a T."
Earlier Saturday after he'd advanced from the semifinal, Kotsenburg marveled at the chance to make it to the final in the event's Olympic debut. He came to the Games just hoping to get that far.
With all the drama that surrounded the event this week – Shaun White dropped out less than 24 hours before qualification, prompting tweets from Canadian riders about White's fear of being beat – the sport's first Olympic champion got a rider true to its soul.
Kotsenburg had been overlooked as a contender here, overshadowed by the absence of his American teammate and the presumed success of Canadian Mark McMorris, who entered as a gold medal favorite but took bronze.
Concerns about the course and the judging drew more attention than the mellow rider who gets on his board for the love of shredding more than the love of winning contests.
If that were what sustained him, he might have been done a while ago. Kotsenburg won the final U.S. qualifying event in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., last month, earning his first trip to the top of the podium in about 9 years.
The last one he remembers before that was a USASA competition when he was 11.
"I had a mega drought there for a minute," he said from the press conference here, an American flag draped over his shoulders like a towel.
Instead, Kotsenburg's riding is about doing what's fun, and doing it with style. With some of the most creative grabs in snowboarding, he found his way atop the podium here.
His winning run included a Holy Crail, a grab he invented by combining a Japan and crail grab. He also landed a backside 1620 Japan air on the final jump, a trick he had never done before which entails spinning 4.5 times in the air while grabbing the toe edge of his board.
He decided to do the trick only a few minutes before his run, calling his 22-year-old brother, Blaze, in the States to see if it was a good idea.
"I kind of just go with it and just march to my own beat," said Kotsenburg. "It's kind of how I roll my own snowboarding career, so I thought why change it when I got here."
Finding a balance
In its first Olympic gold medal winner, slopestyle got the perfect mix of where the sport has been and where it's going. His style harkens back to the old snowboard movies he watched as a kid, ones where riders put a premium on grabs and style.
And while Kotsenburg doesn't fully embrace the spin-to-win mentality that has made a triple cork a must-have trick in the event, he does find a way to do difficult tricks with his own twist.
"There's a happy medium to spinning a lot and all that stuff," he said.
In taking his unlikely trip to the top of the podium, Kotsenburg beat some of the best riders in the world who have progressed the sport in the past couple years with its most difficult trick.
An off-axis flip three times, the triple cork made McMorris a favorite to win here. Canadian Maxence Parrot won X Games gold last month by becoming the first rider to land two in a run.
McMorris matched that at the Olympics, landing different variations of the triple on his first and third jumps in his second run. But his score placed him second to Kotsenburg until Norwegian Staale Sandbech knocked McMorris down the podium.
"His style was amazing," said Parrot, who finished fifth. "I guess if the judges were looking for style today, Sage is for sure winning. There's no doubt."
Added British rider Billy Morgan, "Sage's run was really technical, and even though his tricks are ridiculously stylish, putting the extra grabs and doing different grabs in tricks just adds to the difficulty. As he does his style, he's putting way more difficulty on his tricks, which is why Sage now is the Olympic champion."
Being the best
As a 9-year-old, Kotsenburg saw firsthand what winning a gold medal was like. The Park City, Utah, native attended the 2002 Games, which held the mountain events in his hometown.
That year, Americans swept the halfpipe. It inspired Kotsenburg, but it was never why he snowboarded. He wants to do well, to get on podiums, but it's about much more than that for him.
In a time where snowboarders are spending increasingly more time training off snow to prepare themselves for the acrobatic tricks required at the highest level, Kotsenburg is the exception. He does yoga in the spring, but he hasn't been to the gym since September.
In that way, the 20-year-old is an old soul. He snowboards because he loves it and he becomes a better snowboarder by riding rather than lifting weights.
"If you know how you snowboard the best, you can be the best," he said.
Still, even Kotsenburg didn't imagine this version of the best – Olympic champion. After he failed to advance to the final through Thursday's qualification round, his focus on Saturday was on the semifinal. Of the 21 riders competing, only four made it to the final.
He skipped the opening ceremony to rest for the two competitions in one day. After making it, he was amazed that in 30 years he could tell people he was even in the first Olympic slopestyle final.
Now he's trying to adjust to the fact that he'll forever be an Olympic champion.
"I heard it's going to be crazy. I'm definitely stoked to be a part of it," he said. "Obviously I'm stoked to get gold and take whatever comes with it."
By the time he'd reached the press conference on the mountain, Kotsenburg had a glimpse of the reaction that awaits him when he returns home. Blaze Kotsenburg sent him a video of family and friends cheering as they watched the event in the early morning hours from half a world away.
For Kotsenburg and his family, there would be little sleep after the soul shredder reached the peak of his sport by doing it his way.
"He's a very good spokesman for snowboarding, whether he is on that podium or not. He loves the sport," said his father, Steve Kotsenburg, from his home in Utah. "If you're not having fun with this sport, it's not worth it to you.
"He's a really good representation of wanting to keep it fun in this sport."

Julie Andrews, everyone's favorite governess, just listed her Brentwood estate that she shared with her late husband director Blake Edwards for $2.649 million, according to the Los Angeles Times. Edwards, who received an honorary Academy Award in 2004, passed away in 2010 at the age of 88.
The traditional home features four bedrooms and three bathrooms and is set in the heart of Brentwood, California. With an open family room and living room whose French doors lead to the picture perfect garden, Andrews' house is ideal for entertaining. What's more is that there's a formal dining room, which features a cathedral ceiling and glass walls, a pool and spa, and an artist's studio situated above the garage.
Andrews, who is best known for playing Maria in "The Sound of Music" and Mary Poppins in the eponymous film, bought the home with her late husband back in 1989 for $1.2 million.

Rare rental home in Niu Valley
Niu Valley is a far cry from its dairy farm days in the 1950s. Development since then has turned it into a suburban neighborhood that still maintains a kamaaina feel.
This rare three-bedroom, two-bathroom rental home on Kawaikui Street, which just became available, offers the convenience of being close to town if you commute and the luxury of having a spacious, fenced-in yard with mountain views.
The 1,560-square-foot house, built in 1959, has been owned by one family since its construction. The current owner refurbished the home within the last year, incorporating its retro roots while creating a modern, open floor plan. This is the first time it is being offered for rent since the renovation, which included new carpeting, fresh paint and new kitchen appliances.
A lot of little details set this single-level home apart. "There are built-in drawers in the dining area and bedroom that are original," says realtor Nikki O'Rourke. There are large picture windows in the living room with wood jalousies below.
There's also a neat architectural detail left from the original design – an open-shelving room divider in between the kitchen and living room. The entryway, with travertine flooring, is set up with a free-standing wall, so it feels as if there is a separate foyer.
Other features include an alarm system, laundry room and the house is wired throughout – ready for cable and Internet.
The neighborhood is quiet and there is ample on-street parking for guests. The 9,000-square-foot lot has a carport with room for two cars, a 250-square-foot covered lanai and papaya trees in the backyard.
Located within walking distance to schools, the house is only two blocks away from Niu Valley Park – great for kids.
If you're a surfer or wind surfer, you'll dig the fact that Kawaikui Beach Park is just a little more than half a mile away. So you can grab your board and head to the sparsely populated breaks – Secrets and Toes – just off the shore.
But, sorry, smokers and pet-owners – neither are allowed.
The rental requires a one-year lease and is available for viewing by appointment only. (Click here for details.)
Money talk: $3,300 a month, includes yard service

Office Vacancies Climb, But Retail Remains Solid
If housing is a bust, offices and commercial rentals aren't far behind.
"We're in uncharted territory," said Jeffrey Weil, an executive with Colliers International who runs the East Bay Almost-Daily Commercial Real Estate Blog [jeffreyweil.blogspot.com].
Weil, who got his MBA from UC Berkeley in 1973, has been in commercial real estate in the East Bay for 33 years.
"I've been through real bad downcycles before," he said, but the current downturn differs significantly from others—like the dotcom bust—which were limited to certain sectors of the economy.
"This one is across the board," he said. "This time, there are very few companies that are not affected."
For Berkeley, office vacancies edged up to 15.14 percent at the end of the year, up from 13.35 at the end of September, said city Economic Development Manager Michael Caplan.
"That's the highest it's been since 2004, when it was about 16 percent," Caplan said.
Weil said there's one bright spot in the otherwise gloomy picture. "For a tenant it's an awesome time, one of the best tenant markets for the last 30 or 40 years. If you have a viable business and you need space, it's a great time," he said. "But if you're an owner and your loan is coming due, it's a terrible time."
The economic meltdown has been so dramatic that "it's like before the Berlin Wall and after the Berlin Wall," Weil said, referring to one of the defining moments of the Cold War era.
While Berkeley is impacted by the same factors as elsewhere, he said the local economy has several bright spots, including the Theater District, Weil said, which is expanding with the move of Freight & Salvage up from the San Pablo corridor, and the university.
Caplan agreed that the university's space needs were a stabilizing force on the local office market. "We tend to be more stable, because there's a relatively small inventory," he said. At the same time, fluctuations in the few large spaces can have a significant impact on the statistical picture.
But even green technology, which East Bay cities are counting on to keep the local economies thriving, have been struggling, Weil said.
"Solar companies are laying off now when just six months ago they were hiring," he said, "because the world revolves around finance, and to get any now, you have to pledge not only your first-born but your second-born as well. It's scary."
The office market collapse is global, and California has been hard hit, with major brokerage houses reporting soaring vacancies throughout the state, along with plunging rents and a slowdown in new office construction.
Caplan said Berkeley's retail vacancy rates were generally good, either stable or improved in three of four key areas.
Downtown commercial property vacancies were listed at 15.11 percent at the start of the year, down from 16.2 percent a year earlier. Fourth Street vacancies dropped from 8.6 percent in the third quarter of last year to 5.8 percent at the start of this year, while vacancies on Telegraph Avenue declined from 17.19 percent to 14.09 percent in the same period.
The one area reporting a major increase in vacancies was North Shattuck, where the closing of Elephant Pharm sent the vacancy rate soaring from 4.05 percent to 10.14 percent.
But even with the good news on the retail front, Caplan said, "It's a frightening time, though Berkeley's bottom won't be as bad as Oakland's or as bad as Stockton's."
The city's unemployment rate is also on the rise, with the loss of about 500 workers in current weeks with layoffs at Xoma, the closing of Scharfen-Berger Chocolates and the bankruptcy of Elephant Pharm.
There's one bright spot for some of those who lost jobs at Elephant, however. Caplan said they'll have slots waiting when the new Berkeley Bowl opens in West Berkeley.

Durable efficacy of tipranavir-ritonavir in combination with an optimised background regimen of antiretroviral drugs for treatment-experienced HIV-1-infected patients at 48 weeks in the Randomized Evaluation of Strategic Intervention in multi-drug reSistant patients with Tipranavir (RESIST) studies: an analysis of combined data from two randomised open-label trials.
Journal Article
Treatment options for HIV-1 infected individuals who have received extensive previous antiretroviral therapy are limited. We compared efficacy and safety of the novel non-peptidic protease inhibitor tipranavir co-administered with ritonavir plus an optimised background regimen with that of an investigator-selected ritonavir-boosted comparator protease inhibitor (CPI-ritonavir) in such patients.We did a combined analysis of 48-week data from two ongoing, randomised, open-label, multinational, phase III, RESIST studies. HIV-1-infected adults with 3 months or longer previous triple antiretroviral class experience, two or more previous protease inhibitor regimens, HIV-1 RNA 1000 copies per mL or greater, and genotypically demonstrated primary resistance to protease inhibitor, were eligible. Primary endpoints were proportion of treatment responders (with reduction in viral load of 1 log(10) copies per mL or greater below baseline without treatment change) at 48 weeks and time to treatment failure through 48 weeks (intention-to-treat analysis). The RESIST studies are registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, numbers NCT00054717 (RESIST-1) and NCT00144170 (RESIST-2).3324 patients were screened; 746 received tipranavir-ritonavir and 737 CPI-ritonavir. 486 (65.1%) patients on tipranavir-ritonavir and 192 (26.1%) on CPI-ritonavir remained on assigned treatment until week 48. At week 48, more patients achieved and maintained treatment response in the tipranavir-ritonavir group than in the CPI-ritonavir group (251 [33.6%] vs 113 [15.3%]; p<0.0001). Median time to treatment failure was significantly longer in the tipranavir-ritonavir group than in the CPI-ritonavir group (113 days vs 0 days; p<0.0001). Gastrointestinal system disorders and raised transaminase, cholesterol, and triglycerides were more frequent in the tipranavir-ritonavir group than in the CPI-ritonavir group.Compared with CPI-ritonavir, tipranavir-ritonavir with an optimised background regimen provides better virological and immunological responses over 48 weeks in patients who have received extensive previous antiretroviral treatment.

List of RX Drugs
RX Drugs Information:
(Generic versions may still be available.)
LYMErix [Lyme Disease Vaccine (Recombinant OspA)] is a noninfectious recombinant vaccine developed and manufactured by Smith Kline Beecham Biologicals. The causative agent of Lyme disease is Borrelia burgdorferi; in North America, all Lyme disease is due to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto. The vaccine contains lipoprotein OspA, an outer surface protein of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto ZS7, as expressed by Escherichia coli. Lipoprotein OspA is a single polypeptide chain of 257 amino acids with lipids covalently bonded to the N terminus. No substance of animal origin is used in the commercial manufacturing process. Fermentation media consist primarily of inorganic salts, and vitamins, with small quantities of antifoam (contains silicon), kanamycin sulfate (an aminoglycoside antibiotic), and yeast extract. Silicon and kanamycin are removed to levels below detection (
LYMErix (lipoprotein outer surface a vaccine) is supplied as a sterile suspension in single-dose vials and prefilled syringes for intramuscular administration. The vaccine is ready for use without reconstitution; it must be shaken before administration to ensure a uniform turbid white suspension.
Each 0.5 mL dose of vaccine consists of 30 mcg of lipoprotein OspA adsorbed onto 0.5 mg aluminum as aluminum hydroxide adjuvant. Each dose of the vaccine preparation contains 10 mM phosphate buffered saline and 2.5 mg of 2-phenoxyethanol, a bacteriostatic agent.
The potency of the vaccine is evaluated by immunizing mice with LYMErix (lipoprotein outer surface a vaccine) and measuring their serum antibody response to OspA by ELISA.

Unto the Empire,
I, Lassidor Vandolini KBn, do hereby appeal the decision of the Imperial peer circle concerning my non-elevation to K3. I requested the circle on 17 Aug 2010. In Jan 2011(well past the 60 day limit) I finally tracked down a K3 to get an answer and was verbally told no without any reasons given. I have never received anything in writing from the peerage. I am asking for this to be evaluated by the Imperial Estates. Copied below is the letter to the Imperial Peers:
The latest published points, from the April 2010 Sword of Vega, for me are :
Shn...Rpr...Stl...Total...War...KL...Cls .......Reg Fst War Total F&W MP Cls ..........Reg War Total MW Cls
1021...893...725..2639...1269...11.....5 .........900 58 421 1379 479 2 2 .....................63 264 327 0 1
In the field of Combat, these are the second highest point totals in the Kingdom of Vega only behind Sir Vladimer. If my memory serves the knightly list are split 6 in rapier and 5 in hard suit. With the exception of Sir Rheinhart, the various list were won in tourneys that included at one time or another all the current high ranking Knight combatants of empire. Over the years, I have had 4 squires all of which later became either Knight Combatants or knight Ministers, sometimes both.
Out of the field of combat, I have dabbled in the arts and been an active minister. In 2003, I won the arts tourney at banner war. Over the years I have been house lord for two different houses for a total of about 8 years and Baron for about 8 months. I have served the Kingdom of Vega as Chronicler, Rolls and List, deputy combat marshal, and Exchequer. I have served the Empire and Imperial Chronicler, Imperial Exchequer, B.o.D. Vice President, B.o.D. Treasurer, and B.o.D. Sergeant at Arms.

How should a country respond when its police force is found wanting? That is the question Indian's face after a sting-operation carried out by a leading magazine last week exposed widespread rape-denial among a senior stratum of India's police force. If the media reaction is an index, all that this revelation could muster was a nationwide raised eyebrow. In the embattled history for social justice in India the police dismissal of rape victims and the failure to respond marks one of the lowest points.
Ram Mashru writes in his column titled India's continued demonization of rape victims in The Independent :
And yet, the most disheartening aspect of the exposé is the knowledge that these comments are the products of a much wider and much bleaker cultural attitude. In India, the suggestion that there is such a thing as marital rape is laughed at, and the high incidence of the rape of minors and the failure to report custodial rape all point to an institutional rape-denial complex. The immediate question is to ask, if this is the attitude of policemen in Delhi, a relatively progressive enclave, what is the experience of rape victims in India's hinterland?
Kiran Bedi, India's Judge Judy and a celebrity policewoman, has come out insisting that a lack of training is the problem. She proposes "brainwashing" the police into taking rape seriously.Other senior figures have offered less risible solutions: have female police officers lead rape investigations or introduce quotas to encourage women to join the force. There are also those that argue that the police must not only be just, but be seen to be just and so dismissals are what are required to rebuild trust.
But each of these proposals falls far short. Just how much training is needed to purge these men of their age-old personal and professional prejudice? Critics are right to complain that training offers nothing by way of a guarantee that these policemen will have changed. Equally, India has an almost catastrophically low police to population ratio. Expunging a senior layer of police officials would only perpetuate the legal void in which rapists already act. And to argue that diversification is needed is to kick the issue into the long grass. Not only does rape-denial need to be addressed immediately, but, there is no reason to hope that the presence of policewomen will change anything: the one female police officer interviewed during the investigation parroted the same misogynistic views.

poop (one's) pants
1. Literally, to defecate while still wearing one's pants. I need you to pull over the car right now, or else I'm going to poop my pants!
2. By extension, to be very surprised. When I saw that the magazine had published my letter to the editor, I totally pooped my pants!

LANGLEY, B.C., Canada (Sept. 23, 2013) – Veteran players and newcomers combined to carry the U.S. Men's National Team over St. Lucia, 25-12, 25-10, 25-11 on Monday at the NORCECA Continental Championship at the Langley Events Center.
|Futi Tavana goes high for the attack against St. Lucia.
The United States (1-0) will play Dominican Republic in its second pool play match on Tuesday at 8 p.m. PT. The events are being live streamed at langleyeventscentre.com/continentalvolleyball. The Championship winner will qualify for the FIVB Grand Champions Cup in November in Japan.
The U.S. Men dominated the match, leading in kills (57-23), blocks (12-2) and aces (11-1). (All statistics are unofficial)
"We are getting warmed up in the tournament, trying to play as well as we can to set the tone for the rest of the tournament," said U.S. Team Captain Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.), who was playing with the National Team for the first time since the 2012 Olympic Games. "We have a mixed team. We have guy who have played in three Olympics, guys who have played in two Olympics, guys who have played in one Olympics and guys playing in their first tournament. We hope it's the right mix to help us."

Three U.S. players competed in their first matches for the senior team: middle blocker Futi Tavana (Kalaheo, Hawaii) and setter Micah Christenson (Honolulu), who both started the match, and outside hitter Jeff Menzel (Santa Barbara, Calif.), who started the second and third sets.
U.S. Head Coach John Speraw (Los Angeles) was happy with the victory.
"We're happy to get the opportunity to compete and we're happy with the victory," Speraw said. "We wanted to take care of our side of the net and improve on the aspects of our game that we worked on all summer."
U.S. opposite Murphy Troy (St. Louis, Mo.) led all scorers with 14 points on a match-high 12 kills, one block and one ace. Middle blockers David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) and Tavana each scored 11 points. Lee had four kills, a match-high five blocks and two aces. Tavana had seven attacks and four blocks.
Among other U.S. scorers, Menzel finished with seven points on five attacks and two aces. Christenson had six points on a match-high five aces and one block. Rooney finished with five points on four kills and one block.
Outside hitter Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.), also playing in his first U.S. match since the 2012 Olympic Games, started the first set and scored two points on two attacks. Setter Kyle Caldwell (Newport Beach, Calif.) started the third set and scored one point on one kill.
Libero Erik Shoji (Honolulu) was credited with eight receptions, 62 percent positive. Menzel also had eight receptions, 62 percent positive.
Speraw started Priddy and Rooney at outside hitter, Lee and Tavana at middle blocker, Troy at opposite, Christenson at setter and Shoji at libero.
Menzel took over for Priddy to start the second and third sets. Caldwell replaced Christenson to start the third.
The U.S. Men never trailed in the first set and held an 8-5 lead at the first technical timeout (TTO) and a 16-8 advantage at the second.
St. Lucia kept the second set close and held a 7-6 lead when Troy scored with a kill giving the serve to Christenson, who served for the next five points, including three straight aces, to give the U.S. a 12-7 lead and St. Lucia did not rally.
The third-set score was tied 6-6 when Troy scored with a kill and followed with an ace to spark a 4-0 run that put the U.S. firmly in the lead.

Anthropogenic debris and pathology in aquatic birds
Mallory, Mark
Shutler, Dave
Acadia University
Master of Science
Plastics in marine and freshwater environments area global environmental issue. Plastic ingestion is associated with a variety of deleterious health effects for wildlife, and is a focus of much international research and monitoring. However, little research has focused on the ramifications of plastic debris for freshwater organisms. In chapter 2 I quantified plastic and other anthropogenic debris in 350 individuals of 17 freshwater and one marine bird species collected across Canada . I determined prevalence of anthropogenic debris in freshwater birds' to be 11.4 % across all species studied. In chapter 3 I determined the prevalence of anthropogenic debris and their consequences in seabirds, using four species of procellariid seabirds found beached on Sable Island, Nova Scotia, Canada between 2000 and 2012. Pooling the four species, no differences in prevalence of different pathologies was found relative to age or sex, with birds having (in descending order of occurrence) emaciation, autolysis, parasite infection, inflammation, trauma, bacterial infection, drowned, tumors, tissue necrosis, impaction, myopathy, or pneumonia. Northern fulmars washed up dead of emaciation less frequently (69/115; 60%) than sooty (36/48; 75%) or great (67/86; 78%) shearwaters. Pathology in northern fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis ), sooty (Ardenna grisea) and great shearwaters (Ardenna gravis) appeared unrelated to mass of debris ingested or body mass, and similarly body mass was not significantly related to mass of debris ingested. This work established that anthropogenic debris is a genuine concern for management of the health of freshwater and marine ecosystems, provided a baseline for the prevalence of anthropogenic debris ingestion in freshwater birds in Canada, and presented the first in-depth look at pathology of birds beached on Sable Island.

Perinus was the governor of the region that included Thessalonica in Greece. As governor he was charged with keeping order for the Roman establishment so that what passed for "peace" in Rome might be kept and those in power might remain in power. He had a nice title and a significant amount of power and wanted to keep both. So, he knew what to do with Christians and with people who would not pledge their greatest allegiance to Rome. In a way, you could call him progressive because in the year 250 he was already very willing to torture and kill Christians on account of their faith.But there was another tactic that he was especially fond of: character assassination.Sometimes, as in the case of Heliconis, he would have a Christian locked in the temple of Aesculapius after being beaten and tortured for their insistence in believing in Jesus. Then, after some time he would release them with congratulations and comfort–insisting that they had sacrificed to Aesculapius while they were captive in the temple. Though they often had not done so it was very tempting for them to allow Perinus to lie on their behalf."After all," they reasoned to themselves, "I didn't sacrifice or say I did…so what's the harm in pretending?" Heliconis, however, knew that such a deception was apostasy. To accept the benefit of worshiping an idol was to worship it with your mind. Plus, this lie would be used to demoralize Christian brothers and sisters.
So, when Heliconis was ordered to worship Aesculapius she was ready to resist no matter what. Perinus demanded that she sacrifice to the idol even though it was her denunciation of idols that had landed her in his presence. She responded, "Hear me, and know that I am a servant of Christ; as for Aesculapius, I do not know who he is. Do what you will." So, Perinus had the woman beaten severely while other soldiers heated brands in a blazing fire. When the brands were ready, the soldiers burned and branded Heliconis' body without mercy at the command of Perinus. The soldiers never doubted the justice in what they were doing–torturing an unarmed and unresisting woman for the sake of causing pain–because they had learned that Rome's power was an absolute power that accepted no questioning. After torturing Heliconis cruelly for quite some time Perinus finally decided to lock her in a temple with a very large idol so that he might manipulate her into apostasy. They tossed her beaten body into the temple and locked the doors behind her.
They opened the doors much quicker than they expected, though, when they heard a thundering crash from within. As they looked into the temple they saw Heliconis grinning through her pain as she lie suffering on the floor and they saw the idol shattered around her.While they had waited outside the doors, Heliconis had summoned a thin remnant of her strength with a prayer and mounted the pedestal upon which the idol stood. With all that remained of her earthly might she pushed against it but it wouldn't move. She said a prayer and tried again but it only seemed to move a fraction of an inch. Fearing that the guards would soon come and take her from the temple, she prayed to God and insisted that if God wanted her to do this thing, then God would have to make it possible.With this faithful prayer she pushed once again and the statue fell forward. The idol broke on the floor and made an indelible statement to Perinus, the soldiers, and all to whom Rome might try to lie. None could believe that Heliconis made a sacrifice to the god she had shattered with the help of her own God. In a rage, Perinus commanded that she be beheaded for this crime and the soldiers were quick to comply because they knew that Perinus had the power to do the same to them. Heliconis died a martyr and a destroyer of gods.

Static Buffers Considered Harmful
May 25, 2008
I posted this as a page by accident – so here it is as a blog entry and I'll delete the page some day.
My previous post discussed how inet_ntoa uses a static buffer which can cause a race condition. Unlike in 'C', this is particularly likely to cause a race in Haskell programs due to the quick, easy, and cheap threads using forkIO that (potentially) share a single OS thread. Two bright spots were that inet_ntoa was marked as IO and that the result is usually unimportant.
Another FFI binding, nano-md5, has a similar race condition but is much more series (not marked as IO and the result is a digest).
An even-handed note: iirc, nano-md5 remains hackage mostly as an FFI example – not that this is advertised in the nano-md5 description. "Real" users are told to look at hsOpenSSL and hopenssl – a cursory glance at the code suggests they don't have this bug. Also, the other bindings don't require O(n) space – so they are certainly worth switching to.
The nano-md5 line:
digest <- c_md5 ptr (fromIntegral n) nullPtr
is the culprit. It uses 'nullPtr' and according to the OpenSSL manual "If md is NULL, the digest is placed in a static array".
Test code that confirms the bug can be found here – this will run three hash operations in parallel and eventually one result will be the correct first bits with ending bits from one of the other digests. The developer has already fixed the issue for versions 0.1.2+. I'll wrap this post up with a request for library developers to please work to avoid use of static buffers – they have no place in this forkIO happy playland I call Haskell.

Lady Gaga has run out of shocktactic stunts to pull so she's resorted to wearing blonde dreads and being vomited on. Then again, what else is there left to do after wearing a meat dress, arriving to the red carpet in an egg, donning shoes with dildo heels and performing headless? Her point exactly.
This week at SXSW, while the dust was still settling from the drunken driver who plowed into a crowd and killed two people, Gaga garnered everyone's attention with a repulsive performance that involved her getting thrown up on. Gaga hired a professional "vomit painter" who makes a living swallowing liquids then vomiting them onto a canvas. Can we shank whoever told Gaga about said "vomit painter"? Seriously.
After washing off the lime green goo, Gaga took her big white boots to Jimmy Kimmel and we don't really care to talk about it. Here we were thinking she was going to go the Nicki Minaj route and go from cooky to regular.
Gaga's star is fading and while we appreciate her for her eclectic contributions to music, Sweetie, it's time to stick to the music and leave the dildo shoes in the past. We didn't think she would take this toilet seat joke that far…

Item #6128
Perennial in USDA zones 9-11; otherwise grown as an annual. Now you can grow your own calorie-free, carbohydrate-free, low-glycemic sweetener at home! Stevia is up to 300 times as sweet as sugar, so a little goes a long way. Some say the leaves have a licorice aftertaste, which may be a bonus if you love the flavor. The bushy 18" - 30" tall plants can be grown in 10" - 12" diameter containers, and pinched back to maintain desired height. Grow in full sun or part shade. Leaves are sweetest just before the plant flowers in late summer to fall. Stevia is grown as an annual in all but tropical climates.
Seedling Image
Full Sun
8"-30" tall
Days to Emerge:
Seed Depth:
Seed Spacing:
Row Spacing:
When to sow outside: Not recommended.
When to start inside: RECOMMENDED. 8 to 10 weeks before average last frost. (Transplant outside after all danger of frost has passed.)
Special germination instructions: Germination is best at 70-75°F. Be patient as germination may occur over several weeks.
Harvesting: Best flavor (highest stevioside content) is during the cool weather of fall, and right before the plant flowers. Harvest in the morning after dew has dried. The entire plant can be pulled, or pick individual leaves at any growth stage. As plant matures, entire branches can be cut, and the leaves stripped off. To allow growth to continue, never remove more than 1/3 of the plant at a time. In very mild climates, plant may re-grow after cutting back to 4" - 6" above the base.
