Lope de Vega was the second son and third child of Francisca Fernandez Flores and Félix de Vega, an embroiderer. He was taught Latin and Castilian in 157273 by the poet Vicente Espinel, and the following year he entered the Jesuit Imperial College, where he learned the rudiments of the humanities. Captivated by his talent and grace, the bishop of Ávila took him to the Alcalá de Henares (Universidad Complutense) in 1577 to study for the priesthood, but Vega soon left the Alcalá on the heels of a married woman.
On his father's death in 1578, the embroidery shop passed to the husband of one of the poet's sisters, Isabel del Carpio. Vega later adopted the noble name of Carpio in order to give an aristocratic tone to his own. He acquired a humanistic education from his abundant though haphazard readings in erudite anthologies. In 1583 he took part in the Spanish expedition against the Azores.
By this time Vega had established himself as a playwright in Madrid and was living from his comedias (tragicomic social dramas). He also exercised an undefined role as gentleman attendant or secretary to various nobles, adapting his role as servant or panderer according to the situation. By this time, also, the poet's life was already launched on a course of tempestuous passion. The remote beauty who took him from the Alcalá was followed by Elena Osorio, an actress of exceptional beauty and maturity. His romantic involvement with her was intense, violent, and marred by Vega's jealousy over Elena's liaison with the powerful gallant Don Francisco Perrenot de Granvelle, nephew of the cardinal de Granvelle. Finally, when Elena abandoned the poet, he wrote such fierce libels against her and her family that he landed in prison. The libel continued in a court case in 1588, which sent him into exile from Castile for eight years. In the middle of this incredible court scandal, Vega abducted Isabel de Urbina (the Belisa of many of his poems), the beautiful 16-year-old sister of Philip II's earl marshal. They were forced to marry, and the new husband immediately departed with the Spanish Armada against England. On his return, he passed the remainder of his exile in Valencia, at that time a centre of considerable dramatic activity, and took to the serious writing of plays. Here, too, he engaged in writing romanceros, or ballad poetry, which had become fashionable. In 1590 he was appointed secretary to the duke of Alba, whom he followed to Toledo and then to the ducal estate at Alba de Tormes, where his wife died in childbirth in 1595. He auctioned off everything he owned and left for Madrid, where his public concubinage with the widow Antonia Trillo de Armenta caused him another lawsuit (1596).
He had left the duke's service in 1595, and in 1598 he went to the home of the marqués de Sarriá, with whom he remained until 1600. Sometime around 1595 he also met the illiterate and singularly beautiful actress Micaela de Luján, who was to be for nearly 20 years the poet's most peaceful love; she was the Camila Lucinda of numerous magnificent verses composed for her by Vega. He took a second wife, Juana de Guardo, the daughter of a wealthy pork butcher, by whom he had two children, Carlos Félix and Feliciana. He was mercilessly pilloried by his literary enemies for such an opportunistic union.

What is a...
Here at dANightsOfMystery we host the DeviantArt version of:
With the use of DA Chat Rooms, we try to make sure that every party is a night of fun, mystery, and murder!
Frequently Asked Questions
A Devious Night of Mystery is our version of a Murder Mystery Party. Have you ever seen that episode of The Golden Girls where Blanche, Dorothy, Rose, & Sophia attend a party where someone is killed at the very beginning? That's what we host all the time.
How can you host a Murder Mystery Party on dA?
Through the use of dA's Chatrooms & superb storytelling, dANightsOfMystery successfully hosts their version of Murder Mystery Parties. Before the night of the party each guest receives a date, time, setting, and character to portray during the party. After a brief summary of who has died and what was going on when it happened - the players are provided 4 Rounds of Questioning to learn as much as they can about the other guests and the actual evidence. At the end of the night, whoever can figure out WhoDun'It is the winner of the party.
Who is allowed to participate in the parties & how?
If you are a member of the group & make the guest list before signups close for a particular party, you can participate in one of our Devious Nights of Mystery as a party guest. The only deviants who have the honor of being our party Hosts & Hostesses are our beloved Contributors. Openings for these positions become open randomly - so keep an eye out if you're ever interested.
Who gets to be the murderer or murderess and do they win anything?
Unfortunately - being a killer in one of our parties disqualifies you from winning the party's Top Prize. Killers are compensated for their efforts, however; they are given a Secondary Prize - less than the winner, but being a murderer for a night is prize enough.

This programme provides research training that will prepare you to undertake research in the field of economic and social history.
You will study five core modules (full descriptions available below):
Many of the core modules are delivered at a wider level, so you will study with students from the School of Social Sciences as well as those from the Department of Modern History.
You will then choose one of the following options:
You will also complete a 15,000 word dissertation.
You will study five core modules:
This module provides a general introduction to studying research and methods, and to preparing for a dissertation. It emphasises key skills such as searching literature, finding existing datasets, referencing, taking notes, reading and presenting a table of numbers, presenting an argument, and criticising an argument. It continues with consideration of generic issues for research, such as the main principles of ethics for applied empirical research, negotiating access to research sites, the role of theory, the philosophical bases for understanding the social world, and synthesising existing research through focus on the findings rather than the conclusions.
This introduces you to the concepts and varieties of social science research designs. A key aim is to explain that design is independent of, and so does not entail, methods of data collection and analysis. Our intention is to link the introductory module to the modules on data collection and analysis through consideration of research questions and warranting practices.
This module introduces you to the principles and practice of data collection, collation and analysis. Teaching and learning exercises demonstrate the value of research skills in relation to both textual and numeric data. The module develops understanding of different stages of the research process. The importance of ethical practice in research development, collection, collation, analysis and dissemination is stressed throughout.
The module builds on Social Research Methods I.
Two large-scale studies (research materials, datasets) are employed to build research skills. Secondary research skills (using textual and numeric data) are explicitly explored as a base from which to conduct informed and appropriate data handling/analysis. An introduction to multivariate analysis will be provided, up to the level of multiple regression and analysis of variance. Techniques for analysing textual data will also be covered.
This introduces you to the major intellectual debates in the development of the subject: e.g., history 'from below'; the Annales school; Marxist approaches; gender; the new cultural history, etc. You will be introduced to some of the major schools of, or tendencies in, historical research; in turn the Annales School, the English historians response to Marxism, cultural history, the linguistic turn, gender, history of science and critical social theory (Geertz and Foucault). The focus is on the application of the ideas to historical practice then and now.
You will then choose one of the following optional modules:
This enables you to understand and discuss current theoretical positions adopted by medievalists from a variety of disciplines and also to understand and discuss how these theories and methodologies offer different approaches to reading and interpreting materials from the past. In the seminars you discuss selected theorised writing on medieval studies and ways of interpreting medieval primary sources.
This enables you to explore the frameworks for historical research, c. 1400-1650, focussing on interpretations and sources peculiar to the early modern period, in particular early modern printed texts. The inter-disciplinary nature of this makes it suitable as an introduction to the skills needed to read texts written in the particular religious climate of the period while it broad base ensures exposure to many aspect of early modern culture, for example material culture.
This focuses on the different approaches to 20th Century British History and includes such topics as: states and nations; class and social structure; economy and finance; the market and society and gender. Broad introductory classes on each of these subjects are then followed by specific analyses of either a conceptual problem or an issue concerning a primary source. It introduces you to a variety of methodological approaches to the study of 20th century British history, the key historiographical debates concerning, problems and issues concerning sources.

Filings from 15 states to secede from the United states
Folks from 15 states have filed petitions to secede from the United States and one person from North Dakota has filed for New York state to secede. Petitions required 25,000 signatures and are then forwarded to the President for consideration.
I would hope that this is mostly symbolic but it does show that there are some hard feelings about the direction the US has taken.
One of the questions involved with the petitions is that if you signed it will you be on a federal watch list as a subversive. Certainly a valid question. Time will tell.
Another question is, this is a pretty strong hint that not everyone is happy ... will the message be heard?
What do you think of this jesture.

That would make more sense,from how the article read (to me anyway)it was just expanding to be able to produce a higher volume of chips.

Western Baptist Game Postponed
September 11, 2001
Olympia, WA - The Evergreen State College announced today that the Cascade Collegiate Conference women's soccer game scheduled for tomorrow between Concordia (OR) and Evergreen State has been postponed. This comes after the attacks by terrorists in the United States.
The game was scheduled for 4 p.m. tomorrow, but in light of the resent occurrences, it was an easy decision by both athletic departments. "In view of the national climate of uncertainty, there were just more reasons to put off the game than to play it," said athletic director Dave Weber. "There is no doubt everyone in America has a sense of grief today."
The Geoducks (1-0, 2-3) are scheduled to play a home game Friday at 3 p.m. against Western Baptist College. This game as of now, is still set to be played as scheduled.

Jeffrey Eugenides' long-awaited third novel takes place in the early 1980s. It begins at Brown University with Madeleine Hanna, dutiful English major. While studying the works of Jane Austen and George Eliot, she ponders whether the theme of the marriage plot still exists in our modern times.
The story takes us from Providence to Cape Cod and winds us through a love triangle between Madeleine, her boyfriend Leonard, and her classmate Mitchell. Eugenides is known for his hearty coming-of-age novels, and this one is no different. It also includes one of the most accurate depictions of mental illness I have encountered in a story.

John Burkoff on Why Plea Negotiations Should Be Confidential
Professor John Burkoff commented on the prosecution's public rejection of a defendant's offer to plead guilty in a homicide case. With jury selection ongoing, the defendant offered to plead guilty to two counts of first-degree murder in exchange for two life sentences. A spokesman for the Allegheny County publicly District Attorney stated that the office had rejected the offer. According to Professor Burkoff, plea negotiations should be confidential. "There's no reason to announce this rejection and potentially taint the jury pool. And in the future, what this may well do is chill the possibility of a plea deal in other cases."

Which version of JavaScript for views? And what is builtin?
My Google-fu is weak and I cannot find the answer to the below questions.
What version of Javascript is running the map and reduce functions? Because I have some conditional loops building up an object, I only want to emit it as a value when it actually has properties. This snippet:
will do the job. But keys() is only available in later versions of Javascript.
1 Answer
Couchbase server uses libv8 to execute javascript.
$ cat /opt/couchbase/VERSION.txt 2.1.0-718-rel $ cat /opt/couchbase/lib/libv8.ver 447decb75060a106131ab4de934bcc374648e7f2
Then you can get information about this version on github page for this commit:
In this particular case couchbase uses libv8 3.9.7. At this moment debian unstable has 126.96.36.199-4. Most recent release 3.21.6 (9 hours ago).
Having the version you can google on which version of javascript does this v8 implements.
The answer regarding built-ins:
All of them described in the docs: http://couchbase.com/docs/couchbase-manual-2.0/couchbase-views-writing-u...
Also for reduce you can use special macros instead of reduce function body, which will allow to execute native implementation: http://couchbase.com/docs/couchbase-devguide-2.0/using-built-in-reduces....

We would like to introduce you to a new service that we're offering to all Jomres users called My Holiday Finder.
With the help of the jomres_superserver plugin users can now list their properties on the Super Server at MyHolidayFinder.com. The goal of this service is to help new installations of Jomres get their faces known on the web without having to wait for Google and other spiders to index them.
Once a Site Manager has configured their Jomres properties they should then install the super server plugin and use the new buttons in the administrator area to inform the super server of their existance by clicking on the Synchronise with the Super Server button.
Once synchronised, if published on your server, the properties will be listed at myholidayfinder and a site visitor clicking on the links will be taken to your own site where they can book if they wish.
As we said before, this is a free service for all Jomres users, regardless of their license. We will endevour to keep it free for as long as possible, only time will tell if that will be possible.
Terms of service (CYA)
The goal of these terms is to help keep the Super Server's data as clean as possible. This is for the benefit of all users, so please bear that in mind.
Please ensure that you have English translations for any properties listed. At this moment in time it's not possible to build listings in other languages, and any listings that are not in English will be unpublished.
The software is coded so that you must have a current version of the super server plugin installed if you would like to remain listed on the server, and we will unpublish any property that we believe is a test property, or if the information for that property otherwise seems incomplete/erroneous.
Do not synchronise two different Jomres installations if they contain identical properties, they will (both) be unpublished.
We reserve the right to unpublish any property listed, for any reason we deem necessary, change these terms at will, or indeed to suspend or cancel the service without further notification.

Milwaukee has added two application-specific Sawzall Blades to its lineup. The Ductwork Blade is for installing takeoffs on sheet-metal ductwork, with a tip designed for plunge cuts and a tapered profile for radius cuts. The Drywall Blade is aimed at plumbers and electricians working on remodeling jobs. At 21/2 inches, it's long enough to easily cut holes in 5/8-inch drywall, but short enough to minimize the chance of hitting pipes or wires. It has teeth on both edges so cuts can be made in either direction. A five-pack of Ductwork Blades costs $20; a single Drywall Blade goes for $7.

Providence Hosts Hartford to Close 7 Games in 10 Days Stretch
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins (13-7-1-0, 27 PTS, 1st Atlantic) host the Hartford Wolf Pack (9-9-0-2, 20 PTS, 7th Atlantic) this afternoon at the Dunkin' Donuts Center for their second of eight match-ups during the 2008-09 season. The P-Bruins lead the set after a 6-3 win over the Wolf Pack last Sunday in Rhode Island.
Providence snapped a three-game losing skid on the road and extended its overall winning streak to two games with its first shutout of the season last night, 2-0 at the Springfield Falcons. The P-Bruins jumped out to an early lead with both goals in the opening period and both scores generated by the club's top line of Martin St. Pierre, Vladimir Sobotka and Martins Karsums. Sobotka registered a goal and an assist in the game for his third multiple-point outing in his last four contests. Goalie Tuukka Rask earned the shutout with 27 saves, his fourth career shutout and his second during the regular season.
Hartford hosted the Manchester Monarchs last night and won 2-1 behind a two-goal third period and 26 saves from netminder Matt Zaba. With the win, the Wolf Pack ran their home record to 7-4-0-1 but they have struggled away from the XL Center at 2-5-0-1.
Three P-Bruins are tied for the team-lead in points at 22, including Karsums (9g, 13a), St. Pierre (6g, 16a) and defenseman Johnny Boychuk (4g, 18a). Karsums and Sobotka are tied for first on the club with nine goals while Boychuk's assist total paces his teammates and all American Hockey League defensemen. In net, Rak is 8-5-0 through 13 starts, showing a 2.57 goals-against-average and .916 save percentage.
The Wolf Pack are led by P.A. Parenteau's 21 points, including a team-high 10 goals. Artem Anisimov is second with 18 points, ranking first on the team with 12 helpers. Between the pipes, Miika Wiikman is 6-7-2 with a 2.75 GAA through 15 games, though Zaba (3-2-0, 2.61 GAA) has earned the start in three of Hartford's last four games.
On special teams, the P-Bruins rank fifth in the AHL on the power play, converting 20.4% of the time. The Wolf Pack are 22nd with a 14.7% success rate. Providence has excelled at killing penalties, sitting atop the AHL on the penalty kill at 89.1% while Hartford is in 24th place at 79.8%.
Today's contest is a Family Game where fans can purchase one ticket, one hot dog and one soda for one low price. Providence Bruins Promotional Nights, sponsored by Dunkin' Donuts and your New England Dodge Dealers, continue Friday with Winter Hat Night as Providence hosts the Lowell Devils at 7:05 p.m. The P-Bruins have a rare Saturday off and remain home Sunday afternoon to welcome Springfield into town at 4:05 p.m. The game marks a Zach Hamill Poster Giveaway.
To purchase tickets or for more information, call the Providence Bruins office at (401) 273-5000 or log on to the team website at providencebruins.com. Tickets may be purchased in person by visiting the Dunkin' Donuts Center Box Office or all TicketMaster outlets.

People with slower systems may want to turn off the extra blood effects.
Big thanks again to Tom / Newgrounds for sponsoring this huge undertaking!
It should also be noted that BomToons and I-Mockery stayed up over 36 hours straight in the final stretch of the creation of this game. We now feel like we went 12 rounds with the big Russian.

A stunning book... It left me literally speachless. And excited. It presents a horrid truth that all youth face now. We are not seen as useful. Our main purpose is to party and be irrisponsible until we enter college (and beyond?!?). We are irrisponsible, and therefore 'good' if we get by in school with passing grades. But that's not our purpose. We can do hard things. And we will. Any person can read this book. Every person should. Prepare for change. Join the Rebelution.

This is a great book! I felt the same way mydogblue, it left me speechless. This is a really fascinating book about teens who dont want to waste their teen years. Your teen years are not to relax and fall behind in your homework! They are the years you use to equip yourself for the real world! Pardon my grammar (and perhaps my spelling) but this book is sending a message that teens need to hear. We all need to get out there and DO HARD THINGS! Well done Alex and Brett Harris ***** a five star book!

Music on the Wind
Invite natural melody to your outdoor scene. Traditionally used to ward off evil spirits, wind chimes are now commonly used for their harmonious sounds, as well as for maximizing chi, or life energy, in Feng Shui. When the breeze of life blows, you'll be the first to know with a wind chime.
The first wind chimes were crafted of bronze and were very heavy. Modern chimes are made from a variety of materials and in a variety of styles, from minimalist to ornate. Each material produces a different sound, as does each size. Wooden wind chimes usually produce a natural, calming tone, while metal chimes will produce a precise tone. Cast iron options most closely resemble the first wind chimes created in Rome, and produce lower tones. Look for tonal details when shopping for chimes, as each will vary based on the size, striker, and number of tubes.
Several popular and trusted brands of wind chimes have taken the guess-work out of buying for sound quality. They use professional tools and knowledge to precisely tune each chime for the most pleasing and pure notes. Such brands include Woodstock, Grace Note, and Shenandoah.
With an array of options, you're sure to find the wind chime that suits your space. They make great décor additions in patios, entryways, and screened porches.

Clifford Thies on the American Economic Association and Richard T. Ely
Recorded: Monday, November 28, 2011
The American Economic Association (AEA) takes pride in celebrating its founder Richard T. Ely. This pride is strange, given the character of Elys thought, which is revealed in The Independent Review article The Shaping of a Future Presidents Economic Thought: Richard T. Ely and Woodrow Wilson at The Hopkins by Gary M. Pecquet and Clifford F. Thies, as well as the Econ Journal Watch article Richard T. Ely: The Confederate Flag of the AEA? by Clifford F. Thies and Ryan Daza. In this podcast, Thies is interviewed by the economist Lawrence H. White and explores Elys ideas, values, and impact. Thies is the Eldon R. Lindsay Chair of Free Enterprise and Professor of Economics and Finance at Shenandoah University.

WHO and FAO announce Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2)
Malnutrition is one of the world's most serious but least addressed health problems and a significant contributor to child mortality. Nearly one-third of children in developing countries are either underweight or stunted, and more than 30% of people living in developing countries suffer from micronutrient deficiencies.
Malnutrition undermines economic growth and perpetuates poverty, and its human costs are enormous. Yet the world has failed to tackle malnutrition over the past decades, even though well-tested approaches for doing so exist. The consequences of this failure to act are now evident in the inadequate progress toward the Millennium Development Goal's target 1c to halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger by 2015: more than one in eight of the world's population still suffer from hunger after progress towards meeting the MDG slowed in 2007 and levelled off.
Unless policies and priorities are changed, the scale of the problem will prevent many countries from laying the foundation for sustainable development that is central to the post-2015 development agenda —especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, where malnutrition is increasing, and in South-East Asia, where malnutrition remains widespread and improving only slowly.

Mayor: New EMS Team Making Strides
Monday June 27, 2005
Mayor Jerry Abramson says that by creating one team and eliminating urban and suburban service boundaries, the newly established Louisville Metro EMS is enhancing the city's response to medical emergencies.
"A medical emergency has no boundaries, so we now dispatch the closest available crew, regardless of whether the patient resides in the old city or the old county area," Abramson said today at Teamsters Union Hall where EMS employees received a variety of training presentations.
The paramedics and EMTs also received new uniforms and saw a prototype for the department's 11 new ambulances funded in the upcoming budget.
In addition to the new ambulances, Abramson's budget – approved Thursday by the Metro Council – will refurbish seven ambulances and fund the hiring and training of 46 additional paramedics and EMTs over the next year. The first group of 23 recruits is expected to begin training in late summer and be in the field by fall. The new hires will bring the community's EMS staffing to its highest level ever, with 250 paramedics and EMTs.
EMS also will provide for medical supplies and medical oversight for 18 suburban fire departments that serve as additional first responders.
"In emergency medicine, seconds can literally save lives," said Dr. Neal Richmond, EMS chief executive officer. "We're taking a comprehensive, community-wide approach to find ways to shave seconds and minutes off response time."
Richmond outlined other EMS initiatives underway to enhance emergency-medical response, including:
· Adjusting ambulance and personnel locations based on current call- and run-volume data.
· Working with higher-education institutions to develop undergraduate degree programs in emergency-medical response.
· Developing a proposal to state government to expand the approved scope of practice for EMTs, to include distributing aspirin or other medicines for conditions such as asthma, heart attack or severe bee stings.
· Exploring wireless and global-positioning technology to provide real-time tracking of ambulances in the field to make more informed dispatch decisions and to transfer patient information to hospitals.
· Ongoing quality assurance and process improvements through field evaluation of responses and procedures.
The stand-alone emergency-medical services agency was created in February by combining paramedics and emergency-medical technicians from the Louisville Fire Department and Jefferson County EMS services.

Anonymous said: I don't think quorn chik'n nuggets are vegan... they have egg white and buttermilk in them!
No they aren't. Quorn does have a vegan burger though now however. Danielle needs to read labels better :P♥
we approve.
Him: You push your veganism down everybody's throat by stomping out of the room right now.
Me: And everybody eating their pork chops and cheesy potatoes and talking about how they hate the food channel because the bbq ribs they were showing looked so good, isn't pushing meat down my throat?
Him: No, that's just what everybody else does as being normal.
Me (in my head): FUCK OFF♥
Anonymous said: Is it okay to eat things that say "May contain dairy/eggs" on the package if you're vegan? What does that even mean? Are they slipping it in secretly, or does it just mean the product was produced in a factory that also produces non-vegan products?
In my short experience and research that I've done, this can mean a lot of things. They could possibly be slipping it in the form of casein or whey, or such things. It could also mean that it was made in a factory that also used dairy/egg products, and it may have come in contact with said products at any time during production.
If It's not listed in the ingredients, it is usually not in the product, though if your not sure, google or bing are always great resources. Just search and see what others thing about it.
Hope that helped a little bit :)♥

Freedom of Information Act Request Reveals FBI Classification of Factory Farm Activists As 'Terrorists'
If the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, a bill which allows for the indefinite detention of any person suspected of aiding or taking part in terrorism, didn't already scare you, new information on the FBI's classification of factory farm watchdogs should do the trick. Do you believe that factory farms are morally wrong? Have you ever spoken out, attempted to expose the injustices of, or protested against those farms?
Congratulations! According to the FBI, you just might be a terrorist.
from Green Is The New Red:
This new information comes as the Center for Constitutional Rights has filed a lawsuit challenging the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) as unconstitutional because its vague wording has had a chilling effect on political activism. This document adds to the evidence demonstrating that the AETA goes far beyond property destruction, as its supporters claim.
The 2003 FBI file details the work of several animal rights activists who used undercover investigation to document repeated animal welfare violations. The FBI special agent who authored the report said they "illegally entered buildings owned by [redacted] Farm… and videotaped conditions of animals."
The animal activists caused "economic loss" to businesses, the FBI says. And they also openly rescued several animals from the abusive conditions. This was not done covertly in the style of underground groups like the Animal Liberation Front — it was an act of non-violent civil disobedience and, as the FBI agent notes, the activists distributed press releases and conducted media interviews taking responsibility for their actions.
Based on these acts — trespassing in order to photograph and videotape abuses on factory farms — the agent concludes there "is a reasonable indication" that the activists "have violated the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, 18 USC Section 43 (a)."

Boston school buses — chronically late last year, prompting a barrage of criticism from students, parents, and teachers — are increasingly arriving on time this fall.
Since the third week of school, at least 91 percent of buses have arrived each week before the morning bell, according to School Department data. For the most part, the on-time performance rates have steadily increased each week, hitting a high of 96.1 percent Thanksgiving week.

Motivating a community--is using money counterproductive?
Research by Kathleen Vohs, Nicole Meade and Miranda Goode, reported in Science suggests that using money to motivate a money can be counterproductive. In a series of experiments, Vohs and her colleagues found ways to get people to think about money without explicitly telling them to do so. They gave some people tasks that involved unscrambling phrases about money. With others, they left piles of Monopoly money nearby. Another group saw a screensaver with various denominations of money. Other people, randomly selected, unscrambled phrases that were not about money, did not see Monopoly money, and saw different screensavers. In each case, those who had been led to think about money – let's call them "the money group" – behaved differently from those who had not.
- When given a difficult task and told that help was available, people in the money group took longer to ask for help.
- When asked for help, people in the money group spent less time helping.
- When told to move their chair so that they could talk with someone else, people in the money group left a greater distance between chairs.
- When asked to choose a leisure activity, people in the money group were more likely to choose an activity that could be enjoyed alone, rather than one that involved others.
- Finally, when people in the money group were invited to donate some of the money they had been paid for participation in the experiment, they gave less than those who had not been induced to think about money.
Trivial reminders of money made a surprisingly large difference. For example, where the control group would offer to spend an average of 42 minutes helping someone with a task, those primed to think about money offered only 25 minutes. Similarly, when someone pretending to be another participant in the experiment asked for help, the money group spent only half as much time helping her. When asked to make a donation from their earnings, the money group gave just a little over half as much as the control group.
Why does money makes us less willing to seek or give help, or even to sit close to others? Vohs and her colleagues suggest that as societies began to use money, the necessity of relying on family and friends diminished, and people were able to become more self-sufficient. "In this way," they conclude, "money enhanced individualism but diminished communal motivations, an effect that is still apparent in people's responses today."

- Description
- Reviews
Argentina has been making wine since the 1600s which is not surprising when you learn that 80% of the population is of Spanish and Italian descent. Things have changed in the last 20 to 30 years and Argentina is now one of the top five wine-exporting countries in the world.
Triada sources grapes from over approximately 10,000 acres of vineyards, the majority of which are located within the picturesque and remote Famatina Valley, in La Rioja province, in the Northwest Argentinian region. The Famatina Valley, one of Argentina's best kept secrets, is a natural viticultural paradise with loam to sandy loam, alluvial type soil and high altitude vineyards ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 feet above sea level.
Triada's roots date back to the year 1940 when Italian immigrants, most of whom were active wine growers back home, decided to build a small winery and buy grapes. Since this date, as many as four generations and several hundred families have been involved in producing grapes for the La Riojana co-operative. They have helped make it not only one of the largest and most successful co-operatives in Argentina today with an annual production of around 4 million cases of wine, but also the world's largest producer of certified Fairtrade-organic wine.
They benefit from a combination of brilliant sunshine, warm days, cold nights and very low rainfall, which rarely exceeds 10 inches per year. The North-South orientation of the mountainous chains (Andes, Famatina and El Velazco Mountains) provides the vineyards with good ventilation. The warm days and cold nights encourage the vines to provide superb fruit that enhances the color of the reds and heightens the aroma and flavors of the white wines. The dry, sunny conditions make for naturally healthy grapes and are ideal for organic cultivation.
The chief winemaker is Dr. Rodolfo Griguol, one of Argentina's most respected winemakers. Rodolfo has worked for La Riojana for over 25 years and currently manages a team of seven winemakers.
This selection offers amazing fruit and structure. The flavors go on endlessly and will definitely benefit from several more years of aging. Try with roast pork flavored with garlic and rosemary.

1. Cigarette companies' final days:
This article last week from the Associated Press, "U.S. health experts predict…a cigarette-free America," highlighted the release of a 900-page report on smoking from the U.S. surgeon general. "Though the goal of a cigarette-free America has long seemed like a pipe dream," the AP noted, "public-health leaders have started throwing around phrases like 'endgame' and 'tobacco-free generation.'"
Smoking has declined significantly in the United States in the five decades since the surgeon general's first report pinpointing the dangers of cigarettes. It is still a multibillion-dollar industry, however, that sells more than 300 billion cigarettes a year here.
Yet smoking rates continue to decline as the evidence of tobacco's lethal effects becomes accepted wisdom. At the same time, venues forbidding smoking have become nearly universal, even as the sale of smoking products becomes more constricted. CVS's decision two weeks ago to stop selling tobacco is the latest example. (I wrote about that here.) Several states are now considering raising the legal age for buying cigarettes to 21.
So, how is the industry fighting -- or preparing for -- that endgame?
How quickly are the big three players -- Philip Morris, Reynolds American, and Lorillard -- diversifying by betting on e-cigarettes? And what are the real prospects for those products, as well as the related health issues?
Are the big tobacco companies diversifying completely into other industries?
Are they having better luck with the core product abroad? If so, how and why?
The potentially juiciest part of the story might be that they are moving to diversify into another smoking product that's been in the news a lot lately: marijuana. Tobacco companies going into pot (presaged by the Showtime series Weeds) seems a logical move, but not one that these Fortune 500 companies would be talking about much because pot is still illegal in most of the country.

SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. - Law enforcement officials are investigating a car crash that happened in Spokane Valley near Pines & Boone Saturday morning.
Officials say they arrived shortly after 6:00am to find the vehicle completely inside the Doty & Giles Insurance Professionals building.
Prior to the crash police had received calls about the vehicle driving erratically in the area. The driver eventually swerved off the road at Pines & Boone, through a parking lot and completely into the building.
The driver, identified as 37-year-old Brandon Laudenslager of Spokane, was still in the vehicle when police arrived. He was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries. It is unknown if drugs or alcohol were involved, but law enforcement told KHQ Laudenslager was acting "funny." He will be tested at the hospital for drugs and/or alcohol.
Officials said they are also looking into the possibility that the car was stolen.
The crash remains under investigation.
