Sage (Salvia officinalis) is a savory evergreen herb with woody stems, grayish leaves, and blue or purplish flowers. The leaves are used as a culinary herb, to spice fatty dishes.
The name Salvia comes from salveo, salvare = to heal.
A medieval saying, sometimes attributed to Martin Luther, is: "Cur moriatur homo cui Salvia crescit in horto?" ('Why should a man die whilst sage grows in his garden?'). To which Hildegard of Bingen said: "Why should a man die whilst sage grows in his garden, if not because nothing can stand against death?"
Some Artemisia species are incorrectly called sages. A better name for these is sagebrush; they generally taste vile, and have no place on the spice shelf. This misnaming has gone rather far in smudging: smudge bundles are made with various grey-leaved species of Artemisia and sold as "whitesage" smudges. The only true whitesage is Salvia apiana, which has a delightful scent when burned.
Medicinal uses
Medicinally, there are several types of Salvia:
- the aromatic ones
- excepting pineapple sage, which doesn't work like the rest
- the non-aromatic ones
- Chia sages
- Salvia divinorum
Aromatic sages
The aromatic sages strengthen the lungs; they can therefore be used in teas or tinctures to prevent coughs: 2-3 cups a day for 1-2 months, repeat yearly. Less aromatic species of Salvia are run-of-the-mill mint-family anti-inflammatories, which means that they can be used for pretty much any infection or inflammation, and will give at least some relief.
- Salvia apiana, White sage, California white sage, a perennial at home in the mountains of Southern California, sometimes found in the desert of southern Arizona,
- Salvia candelabrum, a blue-flowering scented sage,
- Salvia clevelandii, Blue sage, Cleveland sage, Fragrant sage, with a very strong scent, found either delightful or disgusting,
- Salvia fulgens, Cardinal sage, Mexican red sage, a red-flowering perennial,
- Salvia greggii, Autumn sage, a red-flowered sage with a very strong scent,
- Salvia lyrata, Lyre-leaved sage, Lyreleaf sage, Cancerweed, a purple-flowering perennial,
- Salvia officinalis, Garden sage, Kitchen sage, Dalmatian sage, a grey-leaved perennial with showy blue flowers; this is "the" sage. There are several varieties:
- S. o. 'Purpurascens', a purple-leafed variety, considered by some to be strongest of the garden sages,
- S. o. 'Tricolor', a variety with white-yellow-green leaves,
- S. o. 'Berggarten', a variety with huge leaves,
- S. o. 'Icterina', a variety with yellow-green leaves,
- S. o. 'Alba', a white-flowered variety,
- Salvia pratensis, Meadow clary, Meadow sage, a blue-flowering species,
- Salvia sclarea, Clary sage, a biennial sage with enormous (for sages) flower spikes, quite showy, and quite tasty in teas,
- Salvia verticillata, Whorled clary, Lilac sage, a white- or blue-flowering perennial with the scent of Clary sage.
Salvia officinalis, as a cold tea, will stop sweating, while the same tea, drunk hot, will produce sweating. Cold and hot teas will also either stop or enhance milk production.
Salvia apiana, white sage, is a very strong general anti-inflammatory, used as tea or tincture. The tincture has a very nice scent; it can be used as a perfume. This species is the famous whitesage of smudge sticks.
Salvia elegans (old: S. rutilans), Pineapple sage, is a tender perennial with pineapple-scented leaves. Medicinally, this is perhaps closest to the scented geraniums, sweet-smelling Pelargonium species.
Salvia miltiorrhiza, Red sage, is used medicinally in TCM.
Non-aromatic sages
The non-aromatic ages are not considered medicinal. You'll find species like
- Salvia argentea, Silver sage, usually a showy-flowered biennial, it's named for the color of its foliage,
- Salvia azurea, Blue sage, Azure blue sage; this species has very big bright blue flowers; it's quite showy
- Salvia coccinea, Blood sage, a scarlet-flowered tender perennial,
- Salvia farinacea, Mealycup sage, grown as an annual in temperate climates, it will survive mild winters,
- Salvia horminum, (syn.: S. viridis), Painted sage, Clary, an annual with showy blue, pink or white flower bracts,
- Salvia patens, a blue-flowering annual,
- Salvia splendens, Scarlet sage, a red-flowering annual,
- Salvia x superba, a purple-flowering perennial.
Chia sages
The seeds of these species are used as bulk laxatives, much like the seeds of Psyllium (Plantago spp.) or linseed.
- Salvia arizonica, Arizona sage, Desert indigo sage, a purple-flowering annual, native to Texas,
- Salvia carnosa, a blue-flowering annual, native to the Arizona desert,
- Salvia columbariae, Chia, Chia sage, California chia, a blue-flowering annual, native to California desert,
- Salvia polystachya, Chia sage, Chia seed,
- Salvia potus, Chia.
Chia has been important in the diet of desert Indians. It is still used for its mucilaginous qualities by Mexican natives.
Salvia divinorum
Salvia divinorum, Diviner's sage, Yerba de la Pastora (sometimes called just salvia). This plant differs from all the other sages; it's a Mexican visionary herb, which cannot be grown from seed.Classification: Sage is a member of the mint family, Lamiaceae.

SAGE, the Semi Automated Ground Environment, was an automated control system for collecting, tracking and intercepting enemy bomber aircraft used by NORAD from the late 1950s into the 1980s. It is generally considered to be one of the most advanced and successful large computer systems ever developed, especially for its day. By the time it was fully operational the Soviet bomber threat had been replaced by the Soviet missile threat, for which SAGE was entirely inadequate. Nevertheless, SAGE was tremendously important; it led to huge advances in online systems and interactive computing, real-time computing, and data communications using modems.
SAGE Control Room IBM's role in SAGE (the design and manufacture of the AN/FSQ-7 computer, a vacuum tube computer with ferrite core memory based on the Whirlwind) was an important factor leading to IBM's domination of the computer industry.
Background
Prior to the introduction of SAGE, the task of intercepting bombers was becoming increasingly difficult. Radar had initially pushed the advantage in favour of the defender, detecting a raid at long range and thus giving defenders plenty of time to launch their interceptor aircraft. But while the speed of the bombers increased, the time taken to direct a particular interceptor to a particular bomber remained largely constant. This included tasks such as collecting information about the targets, figuring out where they were going (developing a track), deciding what planes should intercept them, telling everyone, and then tracking both the interceptors and the bombers to an interception point.
A study in the 1950s by the RCAF concluded that it would take on the order of one minute per interception. With flight times on the order of an hour by several hundred aircraft, some were bound to escape interception due to operator overload. With nuclear bombs onboard, this was unacceptable. The problem became even more accute if the bombers attacked at low level. Radar is line-of-sight, so by approaching close to the ground they would remain hidden behind the curvature of the Earth until approaching to within a few tens of miles. With a jet bomber, this meant the defenders had only a few minutes to react, far too little time to launch an interceptor.
Automation
It was this problem that particularly bothered Dr. George Valley, an MIT physics professor. His solution was automation, connecting all of the radar sites to a computer which would then control all of the incoming and outgoing flow of information. The interception operator's workload would be greatly reduced; they simply had to tell the computer which targets to attack, and perhaps choose what assets to use. All of the communications would be handled by the computer, and would be effectively instantaneous.
This would require the system to update the operators in real time, and the only system in the world capable of doing this in 1948 when Valley studied the problem was the MIT Whirlwind computer. The Whirlwind project, originally intended to control a US Navy flight simulator to train bomber crews, had run into problems and the Navy was losing interest. Valley talked to Jay Forrester, leader of the Whirlwind project, and together they wrote a study proposal to use Whirlwind for air defense.
The US Air Force was very interested, and in 1949 they provided funding under the name Project Charles. The project was a qualified success, and the Air Force funded Valley to take over the project under Project Claude, which was formed into Lincoln Laboratory in 1954. Making a military-grade version of the Whirlwind was a massive project that required close connections between Lincoln Labs, industrial partners who would build the machines and communications, and the military. In order to provide oversight and management during the deployment phase, Lincoln Labs became MITRE Corporation in 1958. Production of the resulting machines, known as the AN/FSQ-7, was initially awarded to RCA but later given to IBM, who started production in 1958. The buildings and internal power supply and communications were provided by Western Electric, phone lines by Bell, and the software, 500,000 lines of assembler, by a spin-off of RAND Corporation called SDC.
Description
The AN/FSQ-7 used 55,000 vacuum tubes, about 1/2 acre of floor space, weighted 275 tons and used up to three megawatts of power. Although the failure rate of an individual tube was low due to efforts in quality control, so many were used that the daily failure rate was in the hundreds. Each center had staff dedicated to replacing dead tubes by running up and down the racks of machinery with shopping carts filled with replacements. The AN/FSQ-7s remain the largest computers ever built, and will likely hold that record in the future.
Each SAGE site included two computers for redundancy, connected to a number of tracking stations which sent in sighting reports over a teletype system connected over normal telephone lines. Reports were typed in by operators in a specific format, which the SAGE computers then collected and displayed on a CRT as icons. Operators at the center could select any of the "targets" on the display with a light gun, and then display additional information about the contact reported by the tracking stations. Up to 150 operators could be supported from each center.
When a target turned out to be interesting, the operator could also display information about any assets that were close enough to intercept it. The SAGE system was kept up to date with information on the availability and status of various weapons and aircraft, including all airfields, BOMARC and Nike Hercules anti-aircraft missile sites. When the operator chose one of these to intercept the target, commands would automatically be sent via teletype to local controllers who would take over from there. Additional messages would also be sent to higher headquarters, as well as other SAGE centers.
A massive building program started along with continued work on the computer systems and communications, with the first groundbreaking at McChord AFB in 1957. The buildings were huge above-ground concrete bricks that were often placed near cities without the residents being aware of what they were. The first SAGE Division became operational in Syracuse, New York in January 1959, and by 1963 the system was already complete with 22 Sector Direction Centers and three similar Combat Centers. Another site was later added in North Bay, Ontario in Canada, although in this case the entire SAGE system was buried deep underground in what became known as "the hole". The SAGE system was operational until 1979, when it was replaced by newer systems and airborne control. (However, the North Bay system ran until 1983 when it was dismantled and sent to The Computer Museum in Boston. In 1996 it was moved to Moffett Federal Airfield for storage and is now in the collection of the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.) The total engineering effort for SAGE was immense. Total project cost remains unknown, but estimates place it between 8 and 12 billion 1964 dollars, more than the Manhattan Project that developed the nuclear bomb SAGE defended against.
Questions about the ability of the SAGE system to actually handle a "hot war" situation were continuous. On one occasion SAC was able to penetrate the defenses, and on other occasions huge flocks of seabirds were tracked as a potential bomber attack. A more serious problem was that by the time the system was fully operational, the USSR had already started deploying ICBMs, making SAGE largely useless.
SAGE was, for all intents, an air-traffic control system. This was not lost on the FAA, who used SAGE systems in their own automated control systems, many of which remained in service until recently. The system also gave IBM valuable insight, and it was not long after that the CEO of American Airlines met one of the IBM people involved in SAGE by accident on a flight, and soon the two companies were developing the SABRE airline reservation system.
Other major SAGE developments included:
- CRT-based real-time user interface
- use of wide-area communications via modems

Sage is a comic book character, from the Marvel Universe. She first appeared in X-Men #132, although there she was calling herself Tessa.Sage was recruited by Professor X at the same time as the original X-Men but he trained her in secret as a spy rather than as part of the main team. He sent her to the Hellfire Club to keep watch on Sebastian Shaw. While working there, she encountered Psylocke and Jean Grey, as well as Emma Frost who was then the White Queen
Later, she joined the X-Men, acting as a living computer, able to remember everything she sees and hears and provide analysis. However, her main mutant power is the ability to 'jump-start' other mutants' abilities. She used this power to save Beast's life and give Rogue better control of her powers. She is part of the team searching for the Books of Truth.
