Clubs: FC Lokomotiv Moskva, Sporting Clube de Portugal, FC Porto
• Born in Moscow, he sprang to prominence as an 18-year-old during the 2001 Premier-Liga season with Lokomotiv and was ever-present in the 2001/02 UEFA Champions League group stage, having scored on his European debut, a qualifying tie against FC Tirol Innsbruck.
• Won two Russian titles over the next three seasons with Lokomotiv and appeared in two further UEFA Champions League campaigns as he established himself in the Russian national side.
• First capped at 18 in a Moscow friendly against Greece on 15 August 2001, he travelled to the 2002 FIFA World Cup and made two starts – against Tunisia and co-hosts Japan; also started twice at UEFA EURO 2004 – against Spain and hosts Portugal – but, as in Japan, was unable to help the team beyond the group stage.
• Scored his first two international goals in 2006 World Cup qualifiers against Estonia and Luxembourg but lost his place with both Lokomotiv and Russia and joined Sporting on a season-long loan in 2007/08, returning to the UEFA Champions League and winning the Portuguese Cup.
• Joined Sporting permanently in 2008 but struggled with persistent injuries over the next four years, appearing in only 51 league games; however, his impressive contribution to the club's run to the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League semi-finals restored him to the national side after an absence of more than five years.
• Moved to FC Porto in January 2013, scoring in his second game for his new side, and playing 13 times as he won a first Portuguese title.

What steps can be taken to make sure a web application using Hibernate, Spring and JSF is secure? What vulnerabilites can exist and what security framework if any is standard?
Security isn't solved just by using a framework. It requires a lot of education, understanding, creativity, and evaluation of risk to avoid making mistakes.
Start by reading these URLs
And definitely be up to speed on the top kinds of vulnerabilities, etc. An introduction to security, including the "no silver bullet" article.
A good set of practices noted by Joel Coehoorn and couple of others by answering a similar question here:
I would concur with the other responses in that there is no silver bullet for security or simple framework you just plug in and tada, you're security enabled. Do check out the OWASP site which is a great resource for learning about security.
And fully understanding security yourself (rather than delegating security to frameworks) will ultimately make your application more secure. For example, JSF prevents most (if not all?) XSS type attacks by default, but you can override this feature, possibly without realising the security implications and suddenly your JSF code is exposed.
Since noone has mentioned it, static code analysis can help to. Check out such things like Findbugs, PMD, and checkstyle among others for basic and free code analysis. Or go for something more heavy duty like Fortify which is designed specifically to detect security vulnerabilies in your application.

Thanks to everyone who commented on yesterday's post. After Randolf's comment about the 1000 column limit, I realized that so far, I've not attempted to create the full table in one go. Instead, I've been building 20-ish separate tables that contain the needed raw data plus the computed/aggregated columns. This speaks to Noons comment about having separate tables that access and group data up that can be executed in multiple streams
The SAS guys want to be able to access a single row that represents all the information they need for one type of data (for example, a shipment). So far, as I build the separate tables, I've been using a couple of views that combine several of the tables. The SAS guys then use the view to build a SAS dataset and merge multiple datasets together.
Yesterday's post was prompted by the prospect of having to build a single table in Oracle that does what they're currently doing via SAS. And to Joel's point, SAS is certainly not Oracle! One of the original goals was to ultimately have a table built and maintained in Oracle and only accessed by SAS, not multiple objects in Oracle that have to be merged into SAS datasets.
I've been so busy and focused on getting the data formulated/aggregated, and doing so as efficiently as possible, that I hadn't even made the attempt to build out a full table with all the columns of all the tables included in that one table. When I started thinking about it yesterday, I got all freaked out about doing it and that's what prompted my post. I hadn't even thought about the Oracle imposed limits on the number of columns! I've been told more than once that the team had delivered 1000s of columns before, so I just hadn't given it much thought. But, given there is an Oracle limit, I'm guessing they've never delivered a final Oracle table like they want to do this time...so, it's either been done in SAS previously or the Oracle tables didn't exceed the 1000 column limit.
So, I've got lots to figure out over the next few weeks. This just may be more fun than I can stand! :)

Left Hander's Day
Tuesday, August 13, 2013
Left Hander's Day
When: Always on August 13th
If you are a Leftie, Then Left Handers Day is just for you!
Left Handers, also commonly referred to as Southpaws, are the brunt of more than their share of jokes all year long. How do I know? Yup, you guessed it! It ain't easy being a leftie. But those of us who are, would have it no other way. Lefties are proud of it.
The world is built for right handers. Examples are everywhere. For example:
In school, have you ever seen a left handed desk? They don't exist.
Many left handed items cost more.
Novelty coffee mugs are made with the picture or text for a right handed pick-up.
Scissors for right handers. Only a lefty would understand this.
The computer mouse you are using as you read this is designed for right handers.
Did you Know? Right handed people operate in the left side of the brain. Left handed people use the right side. Therefore, only left handed people are in their right mind.
Left Hander's certainly earned the right to have a day dedicated to them. And, August 13th is that day. So take a minute to appreciate your left handed friends and loved ones. Don't forget to send them a Left Handed Day Ecard to show your respect.
Remember today and every day: "Lefties have rights!"
As lefthanders, we never do anything right....kewl!
Left Handed Facts and Trivia:
Sinistrophobia is the fear of left-handedness or things on the left side.
While many people are left handed, very few are 100% left handed. For example, many Left handers golf and bat right handed. On the other hand, there is a high percentage of righties who are 100% right-handed.
Lefties are also called "southpaws". The term was coined in baseball to describe a left handed pitcher.
Tuesdays are Lefties luck day.
Only about 10% of the population is left handed.
During the 1600's people, thought left handers were witches and warlocks.
International Left Hander's Day was first celebrated on August 13, 1976. It was started by Lefthander's International.
They say everyone was born right handed, and only the greatest overcome it.
IIt is believed that all polar bears are left handed.
There is a rumor that octopuses have but one right hand. Scientists are diligently studying this issue.
Think about it: Everyone is a Left Hander in Left Hand, West Virginia.
Lefthander's Slogan: "Everyone is born right-handed. Only the greatest overcome it". ...Brilliant Author unknown

I am a leftie and had a few challenges growing up that I can now look back and laugh at. Attending a Catholic grammar school was no fun for me. The highest grade I received in handwriting was a "C". The only thing I can think of that is made for lefties is driving a stick car. I always hold the steering wheel with my left hand so it was really easy for me to learn how to drive a manual car.
Happy Lefty's Day!

It's that time of year again: Time for everyone to gather around and enjoy each other's company ... while running or walking on Thanksgiving Day.
That's right, folks, it's the 101st Thanksgiving 10k Run/Walk, which starts and ends at Paul Brown Stadium. Not what you thought? Well that's OK, because it's a great way to get your metabolism cranked up before the big meal of turkey and tryptophan take hold and you're napping on the couch.
Come dressed in your warmest at the starting line and then shed the extra poundage for the race and give that coat, sweatshirt or jacket to Goodwill volunteers to help someone else stay warm for a lifetime. And be sure to check out the local charities the race supports and donate! Registration is required, but is available all the way up until the race begins 9 a.m.
Entry fee is $25, and racers will receive either free running gloves, a fleece headband or a winter beanie.
Go here for race details.

Re: DHCP
- From: mshetty@xxxxxxxx
- Date: 21 Dec 2005 04:48:07 -0800
I am trying to write a DHCP Client application even though one is
already available on Linux. Basically want it to run on other Unix
platforms as well. Besides this decision has been taken and I cannot
influence it.
Would there be any endian issues I'd have to handle?
Would op, htype, hlen, hops be read in the reverse order on a
big-endian machine?
As in
struct dhcp_packet
<data type> hops;
<data type> hlen;
<data type> htype;
<data type> op;
Thanks and Regards,
M Shetty

Fly from Recife or Natal to Fernando de Noronha (one hour flight), meet up with your guide, and transfer to your hotel on this beautiful archipelago paradise. Fernando de Noronha is a highly protected, exclusive destination made up of 21 islands, only one of which is inhabited. Officially a Marine National Park, the archipelago is home to some of the most stunning beaches and inspiring landscapes in the world. Settle into your hotel just outside of Noronha's unofficial capital city, Vila dos Rememdios. Enjoy dinner and a relaxing evening on the main island.
After breakfast on your first morning in Fernando de Noronha, get acquainted with your surroundings by taking a morning hike to the clifftop lookout above Baia dos Golfinhos. Playful dolphins visit this bay, sometimes numbering in the hundreds, particularly in the early mornings. Continue the hike to Baia dos Porcos (named after the Cuban Bay of Pigs) and then Baia do Sancho, considered the most beautiful beaches in Brazil, where you will have the chance to swim and snorkel. Return to Vila dos Remedios via the coastal trail and visit beaches such as Cacimba do Padre, Bode, Americano and Boldro. Total excusion duration is 3 hours, and the hiking distances can be adjusted based on preferences.
For the remainder of your stay, fill your days with the island adventure of your choice. Activities abound on Fernando de Noronha during your Brazil:
- Fernando de Noronha Scuba diving: Touted as one of the best diving destinations worldwide, Noronha's crystal clear waters beg to be explored! Dives are catered to the travelers' ability levels and degree of experience.
-Beach days: Fernando de Noronha is home to Brazil's most beautiful beaches: Stroll the length of these pristine white sand expanses, splash and play in the warm Atlantic surf, and relax your cares away under the Brazilian sun. You can also try your hand at surfing in the idyllic waves of Baia do Sancho.
-Main island tour: Meander through the trails and walkways of the island, either on foot or in a dune buggy, learning about the historical significance of Noronha and enjoying its exotic vegetation
-Tamar Project: Attend an class put on by Brazil's environmental organization, the Tamar Project. The Project focuses on conservation and protection of Brazil's endangered marine life, especially its sea turtle population.
In the evenings dine at your hotel or local restaurants, unwind from the days' activities, and enjoy the marvelous sunsets over the islands.
After breakfast, transfer back to the airport for your departing flight.
$200 single supplement
Contact us for information about flights from the mainland to Fernando de Noronha and to arrange any additional activities on your free days.

In a relative (albeit minor) state of impulsive (work) imposed de(re)pression I began wandering the dark and shady streets of Bolton.
A quest of sorts.
For salted snacks.
And riches.
I found the snacks.
And feeling particularly karmic at the expense of responsibility, I utilized my chip-change to purchase (multiple) scratch tickets.
Varying brands, prices and payouts.
Ten dollars worth.
To end my financial whoas.
A hundredthousand times profit to be certain.
Fuck you Bay Street.
While satisfied with my new (financial and hunger-free) status I thought the moment could benefit from further dramatic effect, I resisted temptation (that is to scratch and win onsite), I tucked the tickets in and amongst the snacks.
I smiled in Korean to the olde woman behind the counter, bundled my jacket, installed the hood in hoodie and stepped mysteriously back into the darkness.
Oh how I imagine now the stories and tales that olde woman would have told her equally olde husband about my mysteriousity that night…but that, sadly, is another story.
As I walked home, through those same and still dark streets of Bolton, several things played through in my mind.
Not what I would do when I won.
Not what I would do with my freedoms from financial oppression.
I knew I thought I was being followed.
Possibly for the Doritos.
Likely for the lotto(s).
Hooligans were to be my best guess.
Probably a few. Too many for most.
All high on Iced Teas.
As any savvy lone dark night walker might do, I cooly and calmly began to demonstrate (to my would-be attackers and a few dog walkers) the mighty myriad of pain that would await them, should they make way for my sack of snacks and riches.
- The bush side kick – a surprise burst of lateral energy that sent many dried leaves tumbling through the cold night air. In this instance I chose to add an exaggerated opposing arm swing. Possibly a grunt. I must say, the resultant and simultaneous cracking of twigs was loud enough to (briefly) startle even the coolest of side-kick-administerers.
- The water bottle stomp – much like the bush kick, the stomp was highly and entirely unanticipated. With text book delivery the subsequent splatter and crunch was a clear demonstration of my stomping power and an indication of my ruthless ill-nature towards litter and water.
- The branch break – a dual purpose display of breaking power. Not only could I (obviously) break a branch but now, that is after the eventual breaking fact, now I had two smaller (but equally dangerous and jagged) branches that could (and would) be used as weapons. I will admit, the particular branch selected was extra largely and required two break attempts…but this provided the additional message that I was quite clearly not the sort to yield if pressed by initial failure.
Once my power was undeniably demonstrated and the hooligans dispersed, I made way for home.
This is what you do when followed.
Lead the would-be's away from your home to ensure there won't be retributive attacks by paralyzed survivors or grieving parents, if in fact you are forced to defend yourself.
With a flippant toss of the branches (into the compost bin) and a quick one-two air-punch-kick I was completely satisfied that I would not be followed into my home.
By anyone.
Possibly ever again.
Doors locked and curtains drawn, I quickly set on my task of consuming the Zesty Cheese.
Many of the chips were broken.
I briefly considered returning to the variety store to lodge a stern complaint.
But I didn't really want to go into the store without purchasing something before I left…and as I had nothing left (left)…I left (left left) it at a harsh thought.
I won the mother fucking lottery.
Three times on one sheet.
Once on the third.
Pow, pow, kerpow!
A flurry of fortune to the solar-plexus.
A newly minted member of the hundredaires club.
I'm buying groceries.
And a flashlight.
To bop people on the head with.

This was fun. Probably best night surface action I've had in awhile.Picked up large convoy late 44 in Formosa, bad storm. DD's chasing me with radar as I weaved in and out of the ships, using every gun, had to dive a few times when DD's came up my stern, but right back up. Did get 40% damaged, but made it home.
Most shooting blind using radar or aiming at searchlights.
Silly Carrier Escort ASW chasing me bites the dust.
Torped one with radar, guns blasting the other
Torp merchant left then set up on the other..turned out to be a DD, two slams and takes him out..blind shooting
I think this is when Wernher gets killed.

Appropriately subtitled "Broadway's big, fat, musical comedy hit," Hairspray is an in-your-face, quirky musical about loving yourself and getting along. Featuring a Tony Award-winning book and score along with some of the grooviest choreography around, this show is a sure-fire hit. Get your Hairspray tickets today and join in on the fun!
Hairspray Information
About the Show:
Hairspray is the uproarious, energetic musical comedy that stole audiences' hearts and won a whopping 8 2003 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Score. The original production, having played over 2,500 performances from 2003 to 2009, spawned a 2007 West End mounting as well as several tours and other foreign productions, and has recently caught fire as a top choice for regional theatres as well.
Based on the cult classic 1988 John Waters film starring Ricki Lake, this show features impressive and elaborate choreography, flashy costumes (and hairstyles, of course), and a 60s-inspired pop score. Fans recognize such memorable songs as "Good Morning, Baltimore," "Welcome to the 60s," "Without Love," and "You Can't Stop the Beat." The lead roles of Tracy (created on Broadway by Marisa Jaret Winokur) and Edna Turnblad (created on Broadway by Harvey Fierstein) have become two of the most recognizable in Broadway history, and the show, which extols the virtues of being yourself and accepting others, is sure to be an enduring entry in the musical theatre canon for decades to come. Check out the Hairspray schedule and get your tickets today to see this catchy and inspiring musical!
Plot Synopsis:
As plus-sized teenager Tracy Turnblad begins another day in her beloved Baltimore, she muses about her desire to be a famous dancer, and that day after school, she and her best friend, Penny Pingleton, watch the local teenage dance program, "The Corny Collins Show." When it is announced that there will be auditions for a place on the show, Edna, Tracy's timid and overweight mother, refuses to let her go, afraid that she will be made fun of because of her weight. Penny and Amber (the gorgeous, blonde, lead dancer on the show) have similar struggles with their overbearing mothers. After receiving support from her father, Wilbur, Tracy goes to the audition and meets heartthrob Link Larkin, who she immediately falls in love with. But her dreams are dashed when Velma Von Tussle, Amber's mother and the snobby and racist producer of the show, kicks Tracy out of the audition along with a black girl, Little Inez.
Back at school, Tracy meets black dancer Seaweed J. Stubbs, who brings her and Penny (with whom he is enchanted) to his family's record shop. There, they meet his mother, Motormouth Maybelle, the shop's owner and the host of The Corny Collins Show's Negro Day. Once Tracy learns some new moves from Seaweed and shows them off to Corny Collins at a school dance, she is enlisted for the show, much to the chagrin of Velma. Tracy becomes an overnight sensation, landing a plus-sized clothing spokesperson deal for her and her mother. With her newfound fame, Tracy has her sights set on integrating The Corny Collins Show, but her radical ideas and hasty tactics land her and her friends in jail. Can this sweet, young girl with the flashiest moves and the kind heart win over the public? Get your Hairspray tickets today to find out!

I'm just installing my first ever triple crank. I notice that the distance between the granny ring and the chainstay is very tight (maybe only a millimeter or so), although it doesn't touch. Is this normal, or does it indicate that the spindle is too short? My current spindle (111mm) was bought separately from the chainrings/cranks, which themselves were made up from an old double plus a newly purchased granny. If I do indeed need a longer spindle, what length would make a noticeable difference - 113mm, 116mm? The current chainline is about 45mm, if that's relevant, and the tubes are regular diameter (this is an old frame from 1982).
Thanks for any help you can give me. I used to swap out doubles all the time in years gone by, but this triple is really giving me a headache!

Tallahassee, FL -- The accolades for Florida State indoor volleyball's 2012 signing class continue to pour in, as three members in middle blocker Sarah Burrington (Tampa, Fla/Riverview HS), outside hitter Leah Mikesky (Schulenburg, Texas/Schulenburg HS) and outside hitter Nicole Walch (Stuart, Fla./Martin County HS) were named to the VBM/Rox Girls' Fab 50 list.
VBM, otherwise known as Volleyball Magazine, honored FSU's three signing class members as part of the Top 50 senior girls' youth talents in the country. FSU is one of just five NCAA programs that had at least three of its incoming student-athletes make the prominent list, joining Stanford, Texas, Washington and Iowa State.
FSU's nationally-acclaimed recruiting class, which also includes heralded middle blocker Mara Green (McDonough, Ga./Eagles Landing Christian Academy), has garnered countless individual honors since signing with FSU. Most recently, each performer was recognized as a Prepvolleyball.com All-American, an honorable mention player or a special mention player. Burrington, Walch, Mikesky and Green were also included in Prepvolleyball.com's Top 53 senior rankings.
Walch continued to earn more praise from PrepVolleyball.com, serving as a finalist for the amateur organization's national player of the year award. She was named a MaxPreps Second-Team All-American in late December, while Burrington earned ESPNHS Second-Team All-America honors.
All four members were also selected to the sixth annual Under Armour Girls High School All-America Teams, as Burrington was one of just 24 first-team players who participated in the Under Armour All-America Volleyball Match & Skills Competition. The event was held at the Alamodome on Dec. 16 in San Antonio, Texas, in conjunction with the 2011 AVCA Annual Convention.

Saturday, June 11, 2016
Brickerville, PA - Heath Hehnly had some added incentive on Saturday night, and he used the extra motivation to his advantage, winning his third feature of the season at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway.
The Manheim, Pa. resident simply refused to lose as he blasted the cushion lap after lap, finally wrestling the lead away from Jared Davis with two laps remaining. Hehnly then rocketed to victory in the Kaylor Distributing main event for the 600cc Micro-Sprints. "Yeah, I was driving with a chip on my shoulder tonight," admitted Hehnly. "It's been a difficult two weeks, and I had something to prove here tonight." After the Clyde Martin Memorial Race on July 25, a protest was filed over the legality of the engine in Sonny Cooke's No. 2, driven by Hehnly. After several angst-filled days, the engine was deemed legal, and Hehnly's third-place finish in the Memorial was secured, along with his status as Lanco's 600cc point leader. Hehnly was eager to erase the unpleasant memory with an outstanding drive, and he did just that on Saturday at the Clyde. As 600cc rookie Brittany Brown paced the first 14 laps of the feature, Hehnly was cutting a path forward from his 12th starting spot. Some fierce racing took place directly behind the leader, with Jared Davis defending his runner-up position against intense pressure from Tim Buckwalter and A.J. Michael. Hehnly joined the group as the halfway signal was given to the field. The leaders caught the back of the pack as the race, with no yellows to slow its frantic pace, entered its second half. Brown hesitated for a second as she closed on a massive glut of cars in front of her, allowing Davis to sneak by for the lead as they throttled down the backstretch on lap 15. One circuit later, the first (and only) caution period occurred as Michael spun in turns three and four. He, Buckwalter, and Brown were locked in a three-wide duel for second place, and slight contact with Buckwalter's car sent him spinning. On the restart, Buckwalter wrangled second from Brown, with Hehnly gassing his Cooke Roofing, Hyper/Spar into third. Hehnly muscled his way past Buckwalter for the runner-up slot with five to go, then began his assault on Davis. Davis planted his No. 55 RTS on the bottom at both ends of the ultra-fast oval, forcing Hehnly to pound the high groove. The duo circled the high banks in side-by-side formation, until Hehnly used his outside lane momentum to pull ahead as they completed the 23rd tour. Once he cleared Davis, Hehnly bolted away and cruised to the impressive win. Davis held on for second, with Buckwalter, Jamie Kostic, and Brown completing the top five. "Jared was really tough; he drove a great race," stated the victor. "But I was gonna win or crash tonight; I wanted this one so bad. The car was fantastic...I was hitting the rev chip about three-quarters down the straightaway. If we had taken a tooth out (of the gearing), it would have been ugly...we would have been incredibly fast." NOTE: After the race, another protest was lodged against Cooke's car. The Micro's crankshaft was the concern of this protest, but a detailed inspection by the track's tech committee revealed that the crankshaft was legal according to U6SA rules. With 30 of the 600's signed in for competition, qualifying heats went to Jeff Halligan, A.J. Michael, and Brittany Brown. Rick Stief won the consolation. The Sportsman Micros completed nine laps of their feature before a second batch of rain showers descended upon the facility. The remainder of the Sportsman feature, along with main events for the 270cc, 125cc, and 250cc Four-Strokes had to be postponed as the rain intensified. The Sportsman drivers will finish their 25-lapper, and the 125cc feature will also be run at the beginning of the program on Saturday, August 15. The main events for the 270cc and 250cc Four-Strokes will be made up on August 29, followed by a complete program featuring the five weekly classes of Micro-Sprints. Gates open at 3:30 each Saturday, with warm-ups at 5:00 and racing begins at 6 p.m. General admission tickets for adults is $8.00, with discounts for Senior Citizens and students. Youth between the ages of six and twelve are just $2.00, while children under the age of six are admitted FREE. And there's always free parking at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway. With seven feature races highlighting the August 15 and 29 programs and sandwiching the 600 Pro Series Race on the 22nd, the action at the Clyde will be hotter than the weather during the final month of summer! Providing a tremendous value for your entertainment dollar, you've just gotta come out and LIVE the excitement that is Lanco!

Law Blog Lawyer of the Day: Foley & Lardner's Z. Julie Lee
After the Milwaukee Bucks picked Yi Jianlian sixth overall in the National Basketball Association draft in June, questions lingered over whether the team would be able to sign the Chinese basketball star to a contract. After two months of negotiations, the team last week inked a multiyear agreement with Yi, nicknamed "Alian."
The team's secret weapon in sealing the deal: Z. Julie Lee, a partner at Foley & Lardner in Milwaukee. Last week, Lee accompanied Bucks owner Sen. Herb Kohl (D-WI) and two team officials to Hong Kong where they came to terms with Yi.
Ron Walter, a Bucks senior executive and former partner at Foley & Lardner, asked Lee to work on the assignment the day after the NBA draft. It was a natural fit: A native of China and graduate of Beijing University, Lee speaks fluent Mandarin and specializes in representing Foley's clients in their business dealings in China. "Her role was extremely important," said Walter. "It was Julie who was really able to open the lines of communication, facilitate the discussions and create mutual trust" between the two sides."
During the final stages of negotiations in Hong Kong last week, she not only assisted in the contract talks but also served as an interpreter for Kohl and the Bucks officials.
Lee, 38 years old, moved to the United States in 1992 to pursue graduate work in environmental policy, but later switched courses, and earned a JD from Northwestern Law in 1998. She joined Foley & Lardner after law school and became a partner earlier this year. Lee, who became a U.S. citizen last summer, is married to Zhibin Ren, a lawyer at Quarles & Brady. They have two young children.
"When I was growing up in China, becoming a lawyer practicing in the United States was beyond my wildest dreams," she said. "Representing an NBA team in negotiations with a Chinese basketball star? That wasn't even on the radar screen."
So is Lee a Bucks ticket holder? "Not yet, but I'm going to get some."

Consolidate Your Student Loans NOW!
Posted By Jim On 04/02/2005 @ 9:30 am In Personal Finance | 1 Comment
JLP posted an article at AllThingsFinancial [3] after reading a SmartMoney article [4] about how student loans rates are probably going up. The SmartMoney article details how student loan rates (Stafford) are probably going to go up by 1% – 2% when they get reset on July 1. Read on for an explanation but the bottom line is if you haven't consolidated yet, consolidate it before July 1st or you'll regret it.
I looked at my student loans that I believed were consolidated right after I left college but it appears that half of the loan was consolidated and the rest remained as a Stafford loan. I'll have to call them up and ask because given the rate hikes the current 3.37% variable rate on the Stafford could jump up to 5%; very very bad for the long haul. The consolidated portion of the loan would still be at the svelte 3.5% rate (with various discounts for automatic ACH payment and X number of timely payments) with no possibility of going up.
Looks like it'll be time to call up that loan company and see why only half was consolidated (seems strange doesn it?). Be on the lookout for a loan consolidation article in the future, I didn't fully understand it when I consolidated (you don't really need to) but I think I probably should. If you have any comments, I'd love to hear them.

State highway projects are gaining in sustainability.
IDOT Secretary Ann Schneider asked her engineers to come up with a resurfacing project that used 100 percent recycled material. They couldn't do it, but they came close.
"97 percent of the materials that went into those resurfacing projects was recycled or reused. We had to use 3 percent virgin binder to keep all of that product together," she said. Those projects were in Hillside, Chicago Heights and Joliet.
Other environmental efforts that IDOT is touting:
1. A windmill is being installed to supply electricity at the rest area on I-80 at Exit 1 in the Quad Cities, the Mississippi Rapids rest area near Rapids City. That should be up and running this spring.
2. IDOT is planning to introduce solar installations at other rest areas across the state to generate heat, hot water and electricity.
3. The new 70 mph speed limit signs were made of recycled aluminum.
4. IDOT now has a sustainability scorecard, on which every IDOT project will now be scored for sustainability, including emissions, consideration of alternative transportation options and use of recycled materials.

Saucony's Women's ProGrid Kinvara 3 Running Shoe embraces the idea of minimalist design without shorting you on cushioning or comfort. At just 7.7 ounces this shoe feels feathery light underfoot so you have less shoe to contend with, and everything from the uppers to the outsole were designed with enough flexibility to encourage your foot to move with utter freedom. Seamless uppers feel buttery smooth against your foot whether you decide to go barefoot (as some do) or rock a thin pair of synthetic socks. A mere four millimeters of heel-forefoot offset (drop) allows you to more easily adopt a midfoot or forefoot striking style, but that little bit of drop also allows you to revert to a heel strike if you need to relax a little late in your run.
Saucony has a range of minimalist-style road shoes under ten ounces, including the Mirage 3 and the Virrata. Compared to the Kinavara 3, the Mirage 3 offers more midsole support and a HRC Strobel board to improve cushioning while the Virrata features a zero drop offset and ultralight build (just 6.5 ounces). A healthy balance between these two options, the Kinavara is for the 5k runner looking for a reduced-drop shoe or the marathoner who wants to go light without sacrificing cushioning or flex.
- Minimalist Flex Film upper uses welding to reduce seams and overall weight and helps secure your foot in place
- Internal Bootie Construction makes for a buttery smooth internal fit that reduces friction and drastically improves comfort
- Memory foam heel pads comfortably cradle your heel and keep it in place
- HydraMAX collar lining provides light cushioning around your ankle for comfort and protection
- ProGrid and High Abrasion EVA provide absorb impact and smooth out the ride on the road without adding unnecessary weight
- Low, 4mm drop (heel-forefoot offset) means that there's just a 4mm difference between the measured height of your heel and the measured height of your forefoot
- This low drop creates a natural foot position inside the shoe, encourages proper biomechanical flex, and allows you to more easily utilize a mid or forefoot striking style
- XT-900 rubber is flexible, highly abrasion-resistant, and it features triangular lugs that offer supreme grip and traction on the road

After purchasing the Kinvara 3 a few years ago I have not used anything else. They are lightweight yet supportive. I have 3 pairs of them and they hold up well. I ran a couple half marathons in these with no pain whatsoever, plus I love how they look!

I am on Big Game Forever's E-mail list and I received an e-mail regarding the reintroduction of the Mexican Wolf into the SW United States. The documents presented are from the USFWS group called the Mexican Wolf Recovery Team.They are calling for 1000 wolves throughout parts of Mexico, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Southern Colorado. Furthermore they will make it nearly impossible to de-list these wolves because Mexico will be part of the recovery area and our
government can not control what happens to the wolves south of the border. Meaning all 1000 wolves will have to inhabit the Southwestern part of our country. This number is much larger than the number involved with the Grey Wolf reintroduction. Please check out the Big Game Forever website and look at this article. I have already called the Colorado Division of wildlife as well as the U.S senators from all four of these states. It is better to nip this in the butt early than have the same problems we are having in Idaho and Wyoming.

Vande added a topic in GeneralDoes anyone know anything about this model?My wife and I were at the local thrift store the other day, I picked up a model that is missing many of the pieces, including the sidecar, but looks like with a little work, could be a nice model. The only thing I could find on it is this:
Does anyone happen to have more information on it? I am hoping I found something cool, I watched a guy walking around with a 12th scale porsche kit he found right before I walked in...

Vande added a post in a topic Revell 66 Malibu SS Parts Needed...From looking through the kit, I have all the chrome, and all the other pieces, but for some reason the front clip and the interior tub are missing. I have the other 3 pieces for the hood scoop and all interior parts, the kit was just missing those 2....
Vande added a topic in Wanted!Revell 66 Malibu SS Parts Needed...So I found one of the kits I was trying to find from my youth, actually found 4 kits at a local thrift store. Of the 4, 2 were still in the package, and the Malibu is missing at least 2 parts I need.
I am looking for the tilt front end, and the interior tub for the car.
I do have a 65 el camino and the 24 hrs of daytona corvette c5 both outer boxes opened, but the interior bags are sealed, can trade as needed!

Vande added a post in a topic Hemi Powered Impala - Iron-ManI have the engine about 85% done, no pics atm, but will get some taken this weekend. Next up is to work on the interior. Slow going on this one
Vande added a post in a topic Hemi Powered Impala - Iron-ManSince I had to re-do the paint, I changed it up a bit!
Vande added a post in a topic Hemi Powered Impala - Iron-ManThanks for the kind words guys. Like I said, the theme was accidental. I had painted the engine block red, and while piecing everything together, I ended up with a couple parts (the oil pan and the carbs) While I was looking at it before I put the scoop on, I noticed the shape and colors really reminded me of the iron man suit. So I ran with it.
I do have to redo the paint, when I went to pull the masking, it ripped some of the paint up and off.
I have noticed folks talking about custom decals, is there anyone on here that can make them? I have all the logos I need, except the old style lettering for the car name.
Vande added a topic in Drag Racing ModelsHemi Powered Impala - Iron-ManOkay so while working on the engine for my impala AWB/Gasser, I stumbled on to a color combination that gave me a theme idea for the car. I will be slow working on this one, but here are a couple pics.
Most of the parts are being snagged from one of my new kits, here is a shot of my most recent purchases.
On to the good photos:
More once I get some more work done!

Vande added a post in a topic Modified Fujimi Chevy Astro - "Astro Glyder"I love the idea of the ragtop, anyone know if there are any builds with anyone adding a ragtop? Not sure how to pull that off...
Vande added a post in a topic Modified Fujimi Chevy Astro - "Astro Glyder"Alright, now that photobucket is done being rude, here are a couple pics of the slow progress!
Here is the body with the offending piece that was removed:
And a shot to show what I am working towards, a nice smooth rear end!
Vande added a post in a topic Modified Fujimi Chevy Astro - "Astro Glyder"Got the rear end almost 100% done finally, between sanding and filling and sanding and filling I have something like 10 hours just on the rear end...Will get some pics here in a little bit.
I do have a question, maybe I am not searching right, but is there any builds or anything on how to do custom interior components like speaker boxes? I want to try and do a crazy stereo along with the batteries and such for the hydros (old school style). I have seen a few builds before with the waterfall style boxes, but they were always finished, nothing on how they were built.
I forgot to mention, if I can find it, the interior paint will be a real old school color, plum crazy.
Vande added a post in a topic Modified Fujimi Chevy Astro - "Astro Glyder"Thanks guys!
I have a lot of plans for this one, I still have to finish smoothing the body, and molding in the rear end, and smoothing the roof lines before I do much else. I want to build something that is just over the top with a vehicle people usually wouldn't customize. I will try and take some new pics this weekend of the rear end, the photos don't do it justice, the multicolor setup is hard to see what it looks like.
I have been reading a lot of build threads, and I am looking to put a lot of work into the interior, and I am looking to have a fully wired sound system, and detail out the suspension. Will have more soon!
Vande added a topic in On the Workbench: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light CommercialModified Fujimi Chevy Astro - "Astro Glyder"Okay before anyone thinks I am nuts, the name is actually based on what my wife calls her Astro, nothing more!
I started working on this kit a little while back, and just picked it back up recently after finding this site, and getting inspiration. Here is where it sits so far:
Front end smoothed and slammed to the ground:
Side shot sitting at the planned height:
My first major mod after reading this site: (cut out the step bumper and smoothed it)
I just like this shot, it was my first attempt at a photo of the model with my cell phone:
Lots more in store, I have started to mold in an impala lowrider suspension under the body, then I can work on getting the interior straightened out. I have several parts and pieces from scale dreams for the interior, from batteries to hydros to speakers and amps.
I am thinking I will keep the flat black once everything is smoothed, it makes the rims and chrome pop. I still need to add the side skirts and smooth them down, I like the look of the stock molding.

Vande added a topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin1st Generation S10/S15 Blazer Kit?I have been looking for a couple years to see if any company ever released a first generation (pre-1994) S10 Blazer/S15 Jimmy/Oldsmobile Bravada kit. I am looking for the body to do a concept of the 1:1 I am building as a tribute truck. So far I have had no luck finding one, and I have seen a lot of rare kits on here, so I am hoping someone has seen one.
There is a long story behing the truck I am building, if I can ever find a body to do a model, I will explain when I start on it. Thanks for the help!

This is a good point -- I wonder what openib (and others?) do who support *_if_include and *_if_exclude notation. Do they warn / error if you specify an invalid interface?

Works like a charm., even when a batch scheduler is used.
That will still be quite difficult to do in MTT. Remember: all the tests that are run in MTT are shared across all of us via the ompi-tests SVN repo. Are you suggesting that I alias every test in the ompi-tests SVN with a public script that you should run that should look for some site-specific MCA override param file?

Nothing warms the body and soul like a hearty bowl of chili. Reviewers rated these recipes tops.
Pork and Hominy Chili
If you've never tried hominy before, you're in for a treat. Mix canned hominy—a nutty, tender ingredient made from dried, hulled corn kernels—with chunks of pork and bold spices in this hearty, Mexican-inspired chili. CherylIR1954 said in her review, "Comes together easily (I love deglazing the pan w/the tomatoes and broth). Very, very tasty. My local market only carries white hominy in this size can, and it was fine. Very nice color, taste, etc. Loved the sour cream with it. Highly recommend the recipe."

Notre-Dame-Des-Landes: French policemen on Friday fired tear gas at protesting squatters during a drive to evict them from the site of a proposed new airport to be built on protected swampland.
A policeman and two television journalists were slightly wounded as the angry protestors hurled bottles, stones and firecrackers at the estimated 500 policemen, an AFP correspondent said.
The policeman had an injured hand and the journalists appeared to have mild head injuries.
The crackdown at Notre-Dame-Des-Landes, south of the western city of Nantes, came a day ahead of a planned protest that is expected to gather thousands of activists.
Two excavators and a large waste receptacle were deployed to clear an area where the protestors had set up shacks at the 1,650-hectare (4,000-acre) site.
Interior Minister Manuel Valls adopted a tough tone, saying "It is out of the question to let a cyst grow..." and vowed to do "all we can to ensure the law is respected and construction can start."
The airport, which is scheduled to replace the current airport at Nantes in 2017, is a pet project of Socialist Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, who was the city's mayor from 1989 until this year.
It has been opposed by the greens and various politicians on environmental grounds. Eco-warrior protestors have set up numerous camps around the area.
Interior ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet confirmed a sweep was underway. "This operation is aimed at clearing three sites occupied illegally," he said.
The site has been occupied by squatters for months and many of them were unfazed by the police crackdown.
"We will continue," said a woman, identifying herself as only Sophie. "We will remain on track. The moment we are driven out, we will reoccupy."
The 580-million-euro ($747 million) project was approved in 2008 with construction expected to start in 2014. The airport is set to initially have a capacity of four million passengers annually and supporters say it will provide a major boost to tourism in western France.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
The Warning You Haven't Heard
Herbs have been used since ancient times to relieve numerous ailments. In the past, people didn't understand how herbs worked; they only knew that they did. Today we know a lot more about herbs, their contents and chemistry, their mechanisms and uses. We know that when used properly, numerous herbs can be useful health aids. We also know that they cannot be indiscriminately mixed with medications, for herbs and drugs do interact, and the interactions can be harmful.
For example, let's say that, like many other people, you take St. John's wort to relieve depression. Then you go to your doctor, who prescribes a medication to deal with a different health issue. No problem, right?
• Not if a birth control pill has been prescribed. Taking birth control pills when you're already taking St. John's wort can cause breakthrough bleeding and unplanned pregnancy.
• Not if an antidepressant, such as Zoloft, has been prescribed. St. John's wort plus Zoloft can trigger serotonin syndrome, which can cause confusion, fever, hallucinations, nausea, shaking, sweating, vomiting—possibly even coma.
• Not if Lanoxin, a medication used to treat heart failure, has been prescribed. St. John's wort can weaken the drug's effectiveness and allow your heart to "fade away."
Suppose you're one of the many people who take echinacea on a regular basis to prevent colds and other upper respiratory tract infections. It's a safe and natural way to ward off a stuffy nose, scratchy throat, and endless bouts of coughing, right?
• Not if you're taking Tylenol for pain, or statin drugs, such as Zocor and Lipitor, for elevated cholesterol. Combining any of these medicines with echinacea can severely damage your liver.
• Not if you ever want to use aspirin, ibuprofen, Celebrex, or other widely used painkillers. Mixing echinacea with these popular pills can increase the likelihood of dangerous uncontrolled bleeding.
• Not if your doctor prescribes Lodine for your arthritis. Lodine plus echinacea can lead to severe gastrointestinal problems, including nausea, vomiting, and gastritis.
Eager to keep your mind sharp and ward off Alzheimer's disease, you diligently take ginkgo biloba every day. A wise precaution, right?
• Not if you ever need to use Glucotrol, DiaBeta, or certain other drugs to treat diabetes. Ginkgo biloba can interfere with the action of these medicines and send your blood sugar out of control.
• Not if you ever need to take antidepressants like Elavil or Norpramin, or antibiotics such as Cipro. Mixing any of these drugs with ginkgo biloba makes you more likely to have a seizure.
Herbs can be wonderful health aids. But dire results may ensue when certain herbs and standard medications are mixed. Odds are you're not aware of the thousands of herb–drug combinations that can be harmful. And, unfortunately, your doctor may not be aware of the risks either.
It's Not a Trivial Problem
It's estimated that 60 million Americans are taking herbs for their headaches, back pain, arthritis, menstrual difficulties, insomnia, depression, anxiety, menopausal symptoms, sexual difficulties, and numerous other problems. Millions of these people are also taking medications with their herbs.
The frightening truth is that an estimated 15 million Americans are at risk of dangerous herb–drug interactions. But who's informing them of the potential dangers? Typically, no one. An article appearing in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology in 2002 noted that one–third of patients use herbs, "yet most practicing physicians have little knowledge of herbal remedies or their effects."
The Vital Information Few Health Professionals Know
An alarm has been quietly ringing for years. Articles warning of potentially dangerous interactions between common herbs and standard drugs—both prescription and over–the–counter—periodically appear in cardiology journals, cancer journals, family practice journals, anesthesia journals, nursing journals, emergency medicine journals, pharmacology journals, even dental journals. Over and over again, the authors of these articles emphasize the problems that can arise when drugs are prescribed for people who take herbs, then lament the fact that most doctors know so little about herbs and what happens when they are mixed with medicines. But few seem to be listening.
What exactly can go wrong? Herbs can "harm" drugs by interfering with their absorption, reducing their effectiveness inside the body, increasing their effectiveness (which is like taking a drug overdose), and/or boosting their harmful side effects. They can also:
• combine with drugs (or other herbs) to create new side effects
• alter the results of many laboratory tests
• worsen existing diseases
• trigger potentially dangerous interactions with foods and other supplements
Yet most people are completely unaware of this.
If You're Taking an Herb, Beware the Medicine
If you're taking chaparral, comfrey, echinacea, kava kava, or scullcap, an alarm bell should ring if your doctor prescribes a statin drug for your elevated cholesterol. Mixing Lipitor with any of these herbs can trigger potentially fatal liver damage.
If you're taking chamomile, feverfew, garlic, ginger, or passion flower, beware of using NSAIDs for your arthritis pain. Combining NSAIDs with any of these herbs can cause intestinal bleeding.
If you're taking borage seed oil, fennel oil, ginkgo biloba, St. John's wort, or wormwood, think twice before taking antidepressants. When antidepressants are mixed with any of these herbs, your risk of seizures can increase markedly.
If you're taking aloe, buckthorn, cascara, Chinese rhubarb, licorice, or senna, beware if your doctor prescribes Vascor for your angina. Adding Vascor to any of these herbs can trigger an irregular heartbeat, which is a potentially fatal condition.
And There's More You Need to Know
Herb–drug interactions are only the beginning of what you need to know to use herbs safely. Many herbs can also alter the outcome of lab tests and interact in harmful ways with existing diseases, foods, and other supplements.
Herbs and Lab Tests
Taking certain herbs can cause various lab values to rise or fall—and even if it's only a minor, temporary change, it can distort a doctor's diagnosis or treatment plan. Here are just a few of the herbs that can alter the results of lab tests.
• Black psyllium, used for constipation, can lower the results of tests of blood sugar levels.
• Bladderwrack, used for arthritis and thyroid disorders, can increase the results of tests of thyroid-stimulating hormone levels.
• Cascara, used as a laxative, can discolor urine, interfering with tests dependent on the color of urine when it's exposed to various substances.
• Green tea, used for stomach upset, diarrhea, and headaches, can increase bleeding time and prompt false–positive results on tests for serum urate and certain cancers.
• Juniper, used for stomach upset, heartburn, and urinary tract infections, can interfere with urine tests by discoloring the urine.
• Lavender, used for insomnia and loss of appetite, can depress the results of cholesterol tests.
• Mate, used for depression, ulcers, and inflammation, causes false readings in laboratory tests of uric acid and creatinine in the blood, and tests for the tumors known as neuroblastoma and pheochromocytoma.
• Motherwort, used for heart problems, can lower the results of thyroid tests.
Herbs and Diseases
And what if you're already sick? Did you know that taking herbs might make your condition worse? For example:
• Capsicum (cayenne), which is often used to improve digestion, can irritate the gastrointestinal tract. This makes the herb potentially dangerous for those with infectious or inflammatory gastrointestinal problems, such as irritable bowel syndrome.
• Echinacea, used for colds, viruses, and other problems, can pump up the autoimmune process. This makes the herb potentially harmful for those suffering from multiple sclerosis and other diseases involving immune system reactions and inflammation. Echinacea can also be detrimental to those with diabetes, HIV infections, or allergies.
• Guarana, used for weight loss and fatigue, may aggravate gastric and duodenal ulcers.
• Licorice root, used for ulcers, bronchitis, colic, and numerous other ailments, can make it harder for diabetics to keep their blood sugar under control, rob potassium stores, and worsen both hypertension and erectile dysfunction.
• Panax ginseng, used for anxiety, nerve pain, and insomnia, can lower blood sugar, which may be dangerous for diabetics. The herb can also interfere with blood coagulation, which can be detrimental to those with bleeding conditions, such as hemophilia. Siberian ginseng can increase blood pressure, which is harmful to those who already have hypertension, and it can increase the severity of both mania and schizophrenia.
Herbs and Foods
Then there are herb–food interactions that can harm you in subtle ways. For example:
• Blond psyllium, used for constipation, can decrease the absorption of nutrients from the foods you eat by speeding food through the digestive tract and cutting back on the time available for nutrient absorption.
• Guar gum, used as a laxative and a cholesterol–reducing agent, can also interfere with the absorption of nutrients.
• Kava kava, used to relieve anxiety and insomnia, can become toxic when mixed with alcohol. Symptoms of kava kava toxicity include headache, dizziness, and stomach upset.
Herbs and Other Supplements
Finally, there are potential problems when herbs are mixed with other supplements. For example:
• Angelica root, used as a diuretic, can cause increased bleeding when taken with bogbean, capsicum, chamomile, clove, feverfew, garlic, ginger, ginkgo, licorice, passion flower, or red clover.
• Butternut, used for hemorrhoids and gallbladder diseases, can deplete potassium stores when taken with black root, cascara, jalap root, senna leaves, or wild cucumber.
• Mixing catnip, which is used for migraines, insomnia, colds, and flu, with capsicum, sassafras, Siberian ginseng, St. John's wort, stinging nettle, or valerian can increase the odds of suffering from the typical side effects seen with any of these herbs.
• Eucalyptus oil, used for cough and inflammation of the respiratory tract, can increase the toxicity of borage, coltsfoot, comfrey, and hound's tooth.
It's a rare physician who truly understands the dangers that can arise when herbs are combined with medicines, diseases, foods, and other supplements. Most likely, you're on your own.
Which Herbs, Which Medicines?
Hundreds of herbs interact with hundreds of medicines. And even popular and seemingly safe herbs such as St. John's wort, kava kava, valerian, ginkgo biloba, echinacea, ginseng, garlic, aloe, and green tea can become dangerous when combined with certain common drugs.
A host of lesser–known but widely used herbs can also cause dangerous herb–drug interactions, including apple cider vinegar, basil, black cohosh, borage seed oil, cayenne, chamomile, clove, dandelion, feverfew, gotu kola, hawthorn, kombucha tea, lavender, lemon balm, licorice, mistletoe, onion, oregano, passion flower, red clover, red yeast rice, rose hip, saw palmetto, and wheatgrass.
Which drugs do they interact with? So far, studies have shown that over three hundred prescription and nonprescription medicines may interact with herbs, including:
• Advil, Motrin, and aspirin, taken for pain, inflammation, and fever
• Aleve, taken for arthritis and menstrual difficulties
• Allegra, taken for allergies
• Ambien, Halcion, and Restoril, taken for insomnia
• Benadryl, Sominex, and Sudafed, taken for allergies and to promote sleep
• Celebrex, taken for arthritis
• Celexa, taken for depression
• Cipro, taken for anthrax and various infections
• Claritin, taken for seasonal allergies
• Colchicine, taken for gout
• Concerta and Ritalin, taken for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
• Coumadin, taken to prevent blood clots
• Demerol, taken for pain
• Dilantin and Thorazine, taken for schizophrenia and seizures
• Estrogen, used in birth control pills
• Flagyl, used for protozoal and bacterial infections
• Lescol, used to lower cholesterol
• Lithium, taken for bipolar disorder
• Orudis, used for painful menstruation and arthritis
• Pepcid and Mylanta, taken for stomach upset and ulcers
• Pepto-Bismol, taken for nausea and diarrhea
• Plavix, taken as a blood thinner/to prevent blood clots
• Prevacid, taken for stomach acid
• Prilosec, taken for gastroesophageal reflux disease
• Propecia, taken for male pattern baldness
• Proscar, taken for prostate enlargement
• Prozac, taken for depression and bulimia nervosa
• Rheumatrex, taken for arthritis, psoriasis, and cancer
• Tegretol, taken for seizures
• Valium, taken for anxiety
• Xanax, taken for anxiety and panic disorder
• Zocor, taken for elevated cholesterol
• Zoloft, taken for depression
And many, many more.
Close-up on St. John's Wort
We know more about the way medicines interact with St. John's wort than with any other herb. St. John's wort is one of the best–selling herbs in the United States, used to treat depression, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, mood disturbances linked to menopause, migraines, and numerous other ailments. It's apparently safe when used properly and by itself, but adding medicines to the mix can create potentially serious problems.
St. John's Wort in the Medical Literature
Here's a sample of the warnings that have appeared in medical journals.
Data from human studies and case reports indicate that St. John's wort decreased blood concentrations of amitriptyline, cyclosporine, digoxin, fexofenadine, indinavir, methadone, midazolam, nevirapine, phenprocoumon, simvastatin, tacrolimus, theophylline and warfarin…St. John's wort caused breakthrough bleeding and unplanned pregnancies when used concomitantly with oral contraceptives. It also caused serotonin syndrome when co-administered with selective serotonin–reuptake inhibitors (e.g., sertraline and paroxetine)—Journal of Psychopharmacology, 2004
St. John's wort significantly induced apparent clearance of both S–warfarin and R–warfarin, which in turn resulted in a significant reduction in pharmacological effect of rac–warfarin.—British Journal of Pharmacology, 2004
When combined with serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants (e.g., sertraline, paroxetine, nefazodone) or buspirone, St. John's wort can cause serotonergic syndrome.—International Journal of Clinical Pharmacological Therapy, 2004
St. John's wort can participate in potential pharmacokinetic interactions with anticancer drugs.—Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2004
St. John's wort can also reduce the blood concentrations (and thus, potentially, the effectiveness) of numerous medicines, including:
• Allegra (for allergies)
• Coumadin (to thin the blood)
• Crixivan (for HIV)
• Elavil (for depression)
• Lanoxin (to prevent heart failure)
• Methadone (for pain and detoxification)
• Neoral (to prevent organ rejection)
• Pamelor (for depression)
• Prograf (to prevent organ rejection)
• Theo-lair (for asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema)
• Versed (for sedation)
• Viramune (for HIV)
• Zocor (for elevated cholesterol)
If the standard amount of one of these medicines doesn't seem to be effective, your doctor may increase the dosage. Then not only will your risk of side effects increase, but if you stop taking your St. John's wort (or even cut back on it), the blood levels of this medicine will shoot up. Suddenly you can be at risk of a drug overdose!
A second problem with mixing medicines and St. John's wort is serotonin syndrome. This is a potentially serious problem characterized by confusion, agitation, mania, anxiety, muscle rigidity, tremor, restlessness, shivering, changes in blood pressure, seizures, and even coma. These drugs can trigger serotonin syndrome in people taking St. John's wort:
• Amerge (for migraines)
• Celexa (for depression)
• Cymbalta (for depression and diabetic neuropathy pain)
• Effexor (for depression and anxiety)
• Frova (for migraines)
• Imitrex (for cluster headaches and migraines)
• Lexapro (for depression)
• Maxalt (for migraines)
• Paxil (for depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder)
• Prozac (for depression)
• Remeron (for depression)
• Zoloft (for depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and panic disorder)
• Zomig (for migraines)
