The "New Girl" co-stars role play their way into a mistaken identity comedy farce, complete with mob ties
What if the boys from "New Girl" were unleashed upon the world of law enforcement? That's how some might see the new 20th Century Fox comedy flick, "Let's Be Cops."
Also read: Fox's 'New Girl' Cast Shares TV Upfront Survival Tips: 'Don't Sleep With Strange Women – or Strange Dudes'
Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. star as two buddies who dress up like police officers for a costume party, and wind up taking things way too far. After realizing that some people actually thought they were cops, the two decide to keep up the charade, with Johnson even going so far as to purchase a car that he tricks out to look like local police cruisers.
But, as the latest red band trailer proves, they aren't remotely prepared for the consequences of their decisions. Things take a dark turn when the pair find themselves embroiled in a real case — with the mob.
See video: Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. Make a lot of Trouble in 'Let's Be Cops' Trailer (Video)
Unfortunately, the mob boss does some investigating and discovers they're not cops, but he doesn't assume they're faking. Instead, he figures they must be high-level operatives. In truth, they're low-level idiots.
Nina Dobrev also co-stars along with Rob Riggle, Keegan-Michael Key, James D'Arcy and Andy Garcia. Luke Greenfield directed the film from a script he co-wrote with Nicholas Thomas. The WideAwake comedy was produced by Greenfield and Simon Kinberg. 20th Century Fox will release "Let's Be Cops" on Wednesday, August 13.

Are option premiums too expensive for you? Consider short-dated ones. They are cheaper, and the ability to re-sell them once the event you want to protect against has passed makes them even cheaper.
Introduced two years ago, short-dated options are relatively new, so not many producers use them. However, they offer distinct advantages versus standard options.
For example, in late January, an at-the-money December standard corn put of $4.50 carried a 37¢ premium. By contrast, a July short-dated option carried a 24¢ premium and for May a 16¢ premium, says Brian Basting, an Advance Trading commodity research analyst.
On the flip side: A short-dated July soybean option was 11¢ less than a December standard option. But Top Third Ag Marketing's Mark Gold prefers a full-dated option because it offers longer-term protection.
"Short-dated options are a valuable tool, particularly this year," Gold says. "The downside risk for soybeans is $8." Even corn, which took major hits early, has additional downside risk, Gold says, "with farmers long 5.5 billion to 6 billion bushels."
However, short-dated options aren't for everyone. If you use them, you must budget more marketing time into your schedule. They only offer protection for a limited time.
"You can't lock something in and be done with it," says Frayne Olson, a North Dakota State University ag economist. "You have to pay more attention to the markets."
Analysts say short-dated options offer farmers low-cost protection against single events that can turn the market against you, such as USDA's March 31 Prospective Plantings report.
"Short-dated options can get you through the March 31 report with no surprises," Basting says.
To showcase the power of short-dated options' ability to protect against a specific event, look at last year's numbers. Two days before USDA released its March Prospective Plantings report, December corn futures closed at $5.71 per bushel. However, the report was surprisingly bearish. By April 2, futures closed at $5.36, a 35¢ correction.

Gil Scott-Heron Returns
Poet, musician and polemicist Gil Scott-Heron is often called the "Grandfather of Hip-Hop"—such was the extent of his influence on the politically charged rap groups of the 80s and 90s. Born in 1949, Heron published his first novel, Vulture, at the age of 21, taking his impassioned verse into the studio to create debut album, Small Talk at 125th and Lenox, later that year. As great a thinker as he is a performer, Scott-Heron has always perceived music as a force for social change, using his songs to rail against Reaganism, mass consumerism, and racism over the course of more than 20 albums. His new record I'm New Here—his first in 16 years—is out February 12 from XL. The single, "Me and the Devil" follows on February 22. Welcome back, Gil.

Harold Duke, Kerri Valentine '82, President Lindgren
Randolph-Macon College Society of Alumni
presented Harold Duke with an Honorary Alumnus award on February 6, 2013.
The award was presented at a reception in the Alumni Gymnasium that preceded the
R-MC/Hampden-Sydney basketball
game. Kerri Valentine '82, SOA Board member, Board of Trustees
member Jack Luck '64 and R-MC President Robert R. Lindgren presented
the award.
The Awards Committee of the Society of Alumni honors friends of the college who
have shown interest and affection for the college by giving of their time, talents,
and resources to R-MC. Duke is one of Randolph-Macon's most loyal patrons.
Duke, a native of Ashland, is a businessman in the Hanover County community. He
attended R-MC briefly but left to serve in the military in the 1950s.
"Harold's passion for Randolph-Macon is unsurpassed," said Lindgren. "He is a loyal
and consistent financial supporter of the college and an avid Yellow Jacket fan.
He rarely misses a Randolph-Macon game. In fact, look up into the stands during
any football or basketball game and you're bound to see him in the same seat rooting
for his beloved Yellow Jackets. I am honored to join Kerri, Jack, and the entire
Randolph-Macon community in presenting Harold Duke the Honorary Alumnus award."

DVD playback over HDMI...
Hi everyone,
I have an irritating problem that I just can't figure out.
When I try to play a DVD movie on my new HTPC I just get a big black screen which no amount of alt-tabbing or control-alt-deleting can exit.
This happens with with Windows Media Player and Cyberlink too. Everything works fine until I put a DVD movie in and press play. It looks like it's going to go full screen but just goes to a full black screen and becomes unresponsive.
THIS ONLY HAPPENS OVER HDMI, VGA plays the video fine (it's windowed, so it's not trying to go full screen to a multiple screen).
HDTV and any videos on the hard drive play fine over HDMI and HDCP status is fine - though I haven't tried a Blu-ray yet.
I've tried different drivers.
I have built many of these systems with the same specs so I'm going a bit nuts with this.
42" FullHD LCD HDMI 1.3
Zotac itx 9300-G-E (integrated Nvidia 9300)
E6300 2.8ghz
Sony 5600 slim slot-load Blu-ray - (I have tried different drives too).
Any help appreciated, thanks in advance!
*UPDATE: Same thing happens with Blu-rays, just get a big black screen when I play. The blu-ray also worked perfectly over VGA. When I was attempting to play a DVD over HDMI I plugged the VGA cable in too which actually got me as far as the DVD menu (while still on HDMI).*
UPDATE 2: VLC Plays the dvds fine over HDMI. This is just a problem with WMP/MC and Cyberlink PowerDVD...
Any ideas?

I fear your problem may be DRM related. HDCP is the DRM which HDMI equipment has to be certified for to allow the transmition of copywritten media (Blu Rays, DVDs, iTunes Movies etc.) to or from a device. This DRM is designed so that in theory it is impossible to rebroadcast on large screens in public places (or at least that's what I understand of it). For you to be able to play back Blu Rays and DVDs on your monitor via HDMI both devices must be HDCP complient and I'm pretty sure all monitors and screens are HDCP certified so it must be your PC that's the problem.

Sorry to break the bad news to you.

|28 Mar 2010
Thanks for your reply.
I originally thought it may be HDCP but the Blu-ray 'Hellboy' plays over VGA so it can't use HDCP can it?
I just swapped motherboards to my older Zotac 9300-D-E but no luck. The nVidia control panel says that HDCP is go. This set-up has always worked previously. Clean install I guess
Any codecs or updates to Windows 7 in regards to this?

Also for some reason not all Blu Rays and iTunes Movies support or require HDCP.
I can't see an easy solution for this if it is DRM related, keep looking for drivers etc. and make sure that the BIOS knows that your GPU needs to be HDCP complient.

Trends I Wish Would Go Away
- I'm all for taking a fashion risk, but the new heights that heels have gone to are, well, a bit ridiculous. The Armadillo shoes made famous by Lady Gaga in her "Bad Romance" video, designed by Alexander McQueen, were just about the perfect example of how crazy we can go for "fashion." Gaga later wore the shoes recreationally and it didn't stop there. Not sure what the benefits of this is, but I know your feet feel all the pain.
- Back in elementary school I was called four eyes and a dork. My glasses were funny looking, which is what all free glasses covered by my parents health plan looked like. These days people are walking around with enormous black rimmed glasses that, often, don't even have lenses in them. So now having glasses that are bigger than your face make you "cool?"
- This one is easy. Showing your underwear has never been and never will be cool. Sagging, which people don't realize is a jail inmate look, is simple pathetic and no self respecting man or woman should think they look good.
- Here I thought that pants were meant to cover and show of your figure, but along come Harem pants, years after MC Hammer, and JLO makes them cool. Apparently it's ok to look like your wearing horribly loose diapers or like a genie.
- Again with the weird bottom half. I have no idea why any teenage girl would want to look like she borrowed mom jeans but lately thats what's "in." Doesn't everyone laugh at the SNL mom jeans sketch? So why are we copying the likes of Vanessa Hudgens and her high waisted butt cheek bearing jean shorts?
- It's understandable to be different and be you, but why was the shaved head not cool when Britney did it? Yea she was having a breakdown, but don't we all at some point in life. If you want less hair why not chop it all off or. Shaving one side of the head seems great until you realize at some point it will be uneven.
- I love the Boho look, but these headbands are, in my opinion, a bit too much. What happened to not trying to hard? The simple ones I was okay.
- Piercing what you want is up to you. It's no ones problem. But imagine getting into a fight and having this nose to ear chain pulled from your face. Oh the pain you nose and ear would experience.

At the moment, there are three full-time faculty in the department: Eric Mitchell, Ph.D. New Hampshire 1991, John Abell, Ph. D. University of Kentucky 1985, Elizabeth Perry, Ph.D. Virginia Tech 2005. A fourth faculty member specializing in business will be hired in 2008.
John and Elizabeth teach exclusively in economics and Eric teaches both economics and some of the business courses. Adjuncts with first-hand experience in the business world teach the others. The fact that there are only three faculty members in the department guarantees that you'll get to know them and they'll get to know you. You may even get a chance to work with one of them one-on-one in our competitive student-faculty summer research program.
They collectively bring over 40 years of experience into the classroom. You will find them to be engaging, approachable, and actively involved in a variety of academic research projects.
The topics they're interested in are wide-ranging: the economic impact of Habitat for Humanity home construction, the economics of education, the economics of sustainable coffee production, the economic and environmental impacts of fuel efficient stoves, the relationship of poverty and economic growth, and the economics of the textbook industry.
The three of them are widely traveled—countries visited include Austria, Belgium, Belize, Canada, Cuba, Czech Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, England, France, Germany (former West and East) Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, Venezuela, Wales—and as such bring a distinctive international flavor to their classes.
There are four courses in the curriculum that are specifically international: International Economics (Econ 219), Advanced International Economics (Econ 320), Economic Development: Latin America (Econ 246), and International Business (Bus 267).
International themes are woven as well throughout the rest of the curriculum. For example, in Principles of Macroeconomics (Econ 101) students study the ancient Maya civilization and discuss what modern societies might learn about resource use or misuse from the so-called Maya Collapse.
In Strategic Management (Bus 350), students analyzing case studies of companies experiencing problems in the marketplace are expected to include international policy solutions in their overall recommendations for change.

Layla, you look great even when you're working!
I love these pics.. they're really cool and the ceiling is looking fantastic.
Lots of love to you.
Luciane at HomeBunch.com
Layla says:Sep 6, 2011 at 7:46 am
Why thank you Luciane. You're very sweet!
We're super stoked about the new ceiling planks too! I had hoped to be finished by now, but we're heading out to shoot our pilot this week, so I guess finishing it will have to wait 'til next month- LOL!
Sharon Menzel says:Sep 6, 2011 at 7:57 am
The ceiling is looking awesome! Love the idea – really impressed with the product you are using…thanks for sharing! Best of luck with everything in Atlanta and with your new pilot show. Smiles ~ Sharon
Layla says:Sep 6, 2011 at 8:03 am
Thank you Sharon! We're happy with the ceiling plank product too…SO glad it's so inexpensive!
And thank you for the well wishes on our pilot shoot too…we're really looking forward to making over that living room!
Brooke says:Sep 6, 2011 at 8:15 am
Can I just say…thank goodness I'm not the only one who uses the dining room table as a ladder!
Layla says:Sep 6, 2011 at 8:21 am
LOL! Yep- we use the dining table as a ladder, and that little accent table as a nail gun holder!
Debbie says:Sep 6, 2011 at 8:26 am
Looking good! You guys are so talented!
Layla says:Sep 6, 2011 at 8:44 am
Thank you Debbie! I don't know that we'd use the word 'talented', but we're definitely determined to get that ceiling up once and for all!
Judy says:Sep 6, 2011 at 8:28 am
Can't wait to see the new ceiling!
Roeshel says:Sep 6, 2011 at 8:58 am
You two are just so cute – great picture story and I can't wait to see the reveal! I love planked ceilings! Enjoy the pilot shoot! Looking forward to hearing the details!
Layla says:Sep 6, 2011 at 9:03 am
Thank you! And we'll be blogging about the whole pilot shooting adventure starting this Thursday…can't wait to see how it all comes together!
Mandy says:Sep 6, 2011 at 9:36 am
Do you think this would work in covering up an ugly 1976 popcorn ceiling that someone painted over, sealing it forever??
Layla says:Sep 6, 2011 at 9:42 am
Yes! A commenter named Kathy posted this on our Ceiling Ideas post:

Sep 5, 2011 at 8:17 am
We hung it over a yucky popcorn ceiling. We started by finding the joists in the ceiling and screwing furring strips into them. That way we could use the pneumatic finished nail gun to hang the actual boards. We have also used this product in our bathrooms, on the walls this time, to hide damaged drywall. It works if you hang it vertical and horizontal, because I cannot ever do anything the same twice!
Mandy says:Sep 6, 2011 at 9:51 am
Thanks Layla! I'm definitely going to look into it! Have a great day!
kit @ DIYdiva says:Sep 6, 2011 at 1:52 pm
I don't think there's any reason why you can't shoot a finish nail straight into the joist without the furring strips. If you use 2″ finish nails it should clear 1/2″ wood and 3/4″ drywall and still have enough hold in the joist. Even if you shoot on an angle through the tongue of the board like this.
Just a thought that may save you the time of installing furring strips.
Jess @ Little House. Big Heart. says:Sep 6, 2011 at 9:40 am
I can't wait to see the finished product and to try this in my sunroom!
Layla says:Sep 6, 2011 at 9:42 am
We can't wait to see the finished product too, Jess! LOL!
Leen says:Sep 6, 2011 at 9:59 am
lovin your pics
hoping you will get to trying it on the popcorn ceiling soon, I am on pins and needles waiting to see if it works!
Kim in MD says:Sep 6, 2011 at 10:06 am
I love the ceiling, Layla! You and Kevin are so cute in these pics working together! Best of luck with the new show!
Rhonda says:Sep 6, 2011 at 10:14 am
Ceiling looks great! I absolutely cannot wait to see your pilot adventure!! Please keep us posted! I must admit I'm a little sad…I know you guys are going to be a big hit and then all of us out in blogland will miss out on your incredibly adorable lettered cottage redos. I'm super excited for you two though, keep up the good work
Layla says:Sep 6, 2011 at 10:30 am
Well, thank you Rhonda, but there's no guarantee the show will be picked up, and don't worry- we love workin' on our own abode, and I love bloggin' too much to ever stop the redo party here on TLC.net!
Rachael says:Sep 6, 2011 at 11:26 am
I love the plank ceiling. I'm hoping to be brave enough to do that in my kitchen. But out ceiling is awkward, not sure about how I would transition to the living room. But we did do a plank wall in our living room. And your spring mantel was inspiration on how do decorate my mantel. I just posted pics on my blog, I'm new to this, but things have been fun so far Thanks for the inspiration! Keep up the good work.
Teresa says:Sep 6, 2011 at 11:28 am
Comin' right along! All that hard work will be a beautiful payoff. So much better that the boring white drywall ceilings we have.
Missy says:Sep 6, 2011 at 11:45 am
LOVE it! Don't ya just love your nail gun…don't know how we lived without one for so long! I would love to have planks on my ceiling….maybe I can do that in my master bath re-do. (someday..sigh)
I've been working on building a window seat in my dining room…I'm SO excited about it! woo hoo! It's lookin' good!
Love ya lady!
Lesley Ann says:Sep 6, 2011 at 11:45 am
Love the ceiling. and I really love the pictures, it certainly makes the diy project more interesting. Cheers
Tina says:Sep 6, 2011 at 12:06 pm
Just love the storyline of putting this ceiling up… Too cute.. It is looking great and will be worth the wait…
Emily Morrison says:Sep 6, 2011 at 12:13 pm
It looks amazing!! I'm definitely going to tackle that project some day in our kitchen!
Belinda says:Sep 6, 2011 at 12:34 pm
Layla, I love your creative decorating ideas! I thought of you and Kevin recently while perusing Craigslist – a man has wood from several bowling alley lanes listed for sale. I know you two would do something fabulous with it!
Kaytie @ GardenKitchenHome says:Sep 6, 2011 at 1:21 pm
AH! Swoooon! Want to come to Philly to do this in my home?!
kit @ DIYdiva says:Sep 6, 2011 at 1:57 pm
It's looking great. Anyone who looks that good installing a ceiling should definitely have a TV show!
Even though this isn't the final "after" picture, I thought I'd ask since it may be a while until we see the final result… you mentioned you're using "Moonlight White" on the planks. Is this the same color of white you used on your wood shelving wall and trim, or are you going for different shades of white? Is there a color you use consistently for your windows, trim, etc? I'm planning a white wood ceiling and I don't know if it's too much of the same if it matches the wood wall, or if it should be a different shade. Thanks for any insight!
Layla says:Sep 6, 2011 at 9:24 pm
Hi Kit!
Right now the trim and "wonder wall" are painted two different shades of white, but we'll be painting it all Moonlight White after we finish the ceiling.
It's our favorite white!
kit @ DIYdiva says:Sep 7, 2011 at 9:43 am
Thanks Leyla… for some reason white intimidates me more than a gallon of bright red, but you've made a believer out of me!
Tabitha says:Sep 6, 2011 at 2:05 pm
This looks great! We actually just did this in our kitchen, and added 2 beams. We had a crack that we thought wouldn't be visible under a beam, but realized it was too wide and would look silly. So we planked the ceiling and did a light white paint… I LOVE IT. You'll love yours too :).
kelly in georgia says:Sep 6, 2011 at 3:16 pm
Ohhh this makes my neck hurt just looking at your photos! I can't even PAINT the ceilings without neck and shoulder strain, so I know you guys are VERY determined to be doing wood up there. It will be gorgeous when it is all done. Wish I could help you out with your pilot, especially since we will be moving our oldest child to Atlanta then – but getting a place set up for a 23 year old to live in could be a show unto itself!!
Does your show have a name yet??????
Aimee @ My Pink Life says:Sep 6, 2011 at 3:28 pm
It looks awesome Layla!! Cannot wait to see what you do with the room when it's all done. LOVE everything you do!
Diana @ Our Vintage Home Love says:Sep 6, 2011 at 9:27 pm
It's lookin' good! Can't wait to see your entire room when it's all done! It will be gorgeous and lovely, I'm sure!!
the domestic fringe says:Sep 7, 2011 at 1:17 pm
I told my husband what you're doing with your ceiling and he liked the idea. I think we're going to do it in our living room. We've been looking for a solution. Thanks for sharing!
Shannon Hoose says:Sep 8, 2011 at 7:50 am
You guys are so awesome & inspiring. I have been following your blog for a while now. We just bought a fixer upper house out in the country & I am so glad that you've given me awesome ideas & the courage to try them!
Shauna Oberg says:Sep 8, 2011 at 12:48 pm
I've always loved planked ceilings and it's interesting to see the process. Can't wait for the reveal!
michelle starling says:Sep 8, 2011 at 3:05 pm
Great post. Are these panel packs the ones that are available at Lowe's? I've been thinking of doing something similar to my ceilings. I can't wait to see it all done.
Roy Merideth says:Sep 9, 2011 at 7:15 am
I love the ceiling. We (my neighbor and I) just finished 1200 sq ft in my basement. We had estimates of $40,000.00 and we did it ourselves for $16,000.00! That includes a small kitchenette for the kids, an office/bedroom, a bathroom, and a large livingroom/gaming room. We are enjoying the heck out of it. The greatest satisfaction comes from knowing we did it ourselves (with some hired help for electrical, major plumbing and drywall).
Your posts inspire us and keep us thinking of ways we could change other rooms in our house. The garage is up next!
Rachel @ We Heart Minnesota says:Sep 9, 2011 at 12:52 pm
I love the ceiling. We are currently in the process of stenciling our ceiling…http://weheartminnesota.com/2011/09/06/do-not-try-this-at-home/. But so far it is not going as smoothly as yours. Maybe next time we'll try the planks.
Cheryl siciliano says:Sep 9, 2011 at 9:14 pm
you two are amazingly cute and I love love love the beautiful work you do. You are inspiring me and driving my husband crazy!
Carmen says:Sep 19, 2011 at 2:29 pm
We are about to do this to the ceiling in our dining room! Thanks for the idea! What color did you paint your planks? We have white wainscoting and a light green wall color. What do you recommend? So excited about the new pilot!

The end of the book famine!
Currently, copyright law is a national jurisdiction which has the effect of preventing blind organizations form sharing books with neighbouring countries, thus causing considerable unnecessary duplication of production of books in accessible formats.What does this mean for the visually impaired and other print disabled people? Currently only 5% of all published books in the developed countries and less than 1% in the developing countries are ever produced in the accessible formats - such as braille, large print and audio – that VI and print disabled need. At the centre of this treaty is an article giving permission for VI organisations and libraries to share their collections of accessible titles with other same-language communities around the world. Examples of this include Spain and Argentina being able to share their combined collections of over 150.000 titles right across Latin America as soon as the government of each recipient country ratifies and implements the treaty. Similarly, French language collections, Arabic collections, Chinese collections, etc., can be shared around the world to diaspora communities who cannot legally borrow or buy an accessible title from their homeland as of now.

LG officially launched the Prada II smartphone today. I know, I know, you're sick of hearing about it. But LG and Prada have a little surprise, the Prada Link. It's a watch with built-in Bluetooth and it's specifically designed to work with the Prada II. Looks like you can only receive text messages on the Link, there's no voice support (I so wanted a Dick Tracy watch), and it charges thanks to a special adapter that will only work with the LG Prada II's charger (talk about stupid). To make matter worse a 2.5hr charge will only grab you 48 hours of standby time (wonder what happens when you use it) and that's even factoring in the low power consuming Mono OLED screen. Price? Not sure, but I'm on the hunt.

Not as You Expected
This devotional was written by Kelly McFadden
"Since I gave Pharaoh your message, he has been even more brutal to your people. You have not even begun to rescue them!" "Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh," the LORD told Moses. "When he feels my powerful hand upon him, he will let the people go. In fact, he will be so anxious to get rid of them that he will force them to leave his land!" Exodus 5:23-6:1
Moses was called by God to return to Egypt to tell Pharaoh to free God's people from slavery. I am not sure about you, but if a voice inside a burning bush came and spoke to me and I knew I had God on my side, I would probably be pretty confident that things would be taken care of quickly. However, Pharaoh couldn't have cared less. In fact, the Bible records that things got worse for the Jewish people. Many of them started wishing Moses would stop, so they could return to the way things were...as slaves. This was not as Moses expected.
In elementary school, we all learned that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. But for Moses, and I know this is true in my life as well, rarely do we seem to get from point A to B in a direct manner. It is through these detours that God teaches us the most.
I wonder what that day was like when God's people left Egypt to head to the Promised Land. They must have been shouting God's praises and thanking Moses for not giving up on them. Then things looked grim; Pharaoh's army came after them. Finding things not as they expected, they questioned why they were brought to the desert to die. But God did what God does. He came through in a miraculous way by parting the Red Sea.
We learn reliance, we learn dependence, and we learn to trust God in ways that would not be possible if every plan went smoothly and perfectly. God works on our character during the journey. He builds us up, teaches and molds us, as we trust in Him. Sometimes, the lessons feel painful and long. In the midst of these detours, I often pray that things would be easier. When I look back, I would never trade for anything the lessons I have learned and the things I have been taught.
Don't avoid the difficulties and the challenges. Keep your eyes focused on God and allow Him to work miracles in your life through the impossible.

1. Looking back, where have you seen God work as your life has not gone as expected?
2. What important lessons has God taught you that you can hold onto the next time things do not go as planned?

Yanzhou Coal Mining Co. (ADR)
Are Basic Materials Good for Long-Term Investment?
By Vanina Egea - July 16, 2013 | Tickers: CLF, IAG, YZC
Basic materials deserve a more enticing name. Let's leave that talk for the coffee break, though, and focus on why they are considered "basic." These materials are "basic" because they are elemental, meaning that they represent the ground core for any project that involves construction of some sort.
On the finance road, stock prices for companies involved with basic materials have dropped. Here are three companies with interest yields more »
China Loves Coal and So Should You
By Reuben Brewer - June 19, 2013 | Tickers: ANR, BTU, YZC
"China consumes nearly as much coal as the rest of the world combined," explains the U.S. Energy Information Administration. That makes Chinese demand a big issue for coal companies like Peabody Energy (NYSE: BTU), Alpha Natural Resources (NYSE: ANR), and Yanzhou Coal Mining (NYSE: YZC).

Between 2000 and 2011, coal consumption throughout the world minus China increased from 3.8 billion tonnes to 4.3 billion. Chinese more »
Three Emerging Market Dividend Stocks to Buy Now
By Steve Orlowski - January 4, 2013 | Tickers: BAK, VALE, YZC
Happy belated New Year!
OK, enough of the frivolity. Let's get down to business.
Stock markets worldwide celebrated the ceremonial "kicketh of the can" on Wednesday as the value of virtually everything except the dollar, US treasuries and my beer can collection went up. But we're all smarter than that and didn't get sucked into the fleeting sigh of relief.

Dividends and Growth: Can They Coexist?
By Chris Hodge - November 14, 2012 | Tickers: BFR, EOC, SWM, YZC
A lot of people love dividends as much as I do, which I can tell because people seem to like posts about these glorious cash payouts. But there's usually a pretty heavy price to pay for good dividends -- the loss of solid growth prospects. At least that's what a lot of people think. How can a company pay its investors and have anything left to finance the hardcore more »
Five Reasons why Coal Stocks could Burn Brighter
By Jonathan Yates - September 25, 2012 | Tickers: BHP, CLF, KOL, BTU, YZC
While 2012 has been a bleak year for companies operating in the coal sector, there are five recent developments that should lead to a brighter future for Cliff Natural Resources (NYSE: CLF), BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP), Peabody Energy (NYSE: BTU) and Yanzhou Coal Mining Company (NYSE: YZC), and others in the industry.

Sony's raid
on his house, Dukio have now confirmed while posting a
legal notice
that Sony is suing
Alexander Egorenkov
known in the PS3 scene as
Graf Chokolo
for 1 million Euros and he

that he still wants to continue hacking the PlayStation 3 console with

reporting he has received over $28k in donations already!
To quote: I received a legal notice from SCEE lawyers requesting me to remove the coolstuff links that graf_chokolo has distributed on grafchokolo.com as well as the links at this blog. What i found interesting in the legal notice is that the lawyers are suing graf_chokolo for 1 million euros. That is quite a number, but graf_chokolo doesn't seem to care.
He still want to hack the PS3, where he said he cannot sleep knowing that he cannot touch the hypervisor of the PS3. Man, i never see someone like graf, he is an extraordinary genius hacker that Sony wasting it by making a lawsuit against him.
I don't have a PC at home now guys, so i will post here only when i'm able. I will try to answer all your questions about HV and installing Linux. But expect some delays because as i said i don't have access to the Internet all the time.
You know guys, you will say i'm totally crazy now, but i never slept better than in the last 2 days
I don't know how to explain this feeling but i don't care about those threats with jail and high money penalties, btw, SONY wants about 750.000 euros from me if i don't cooperate
They don't know me at all
I don't care about it and they might double it
The higher is the sum the higher gets my motivation
They don't understand what makes me tick. Money and even my life doesn't mean to me very much without knowledge. I have a scientific mind and the knowledge is food to my brain. Without HV, Linux and FreeBSD kernel hacking my life is meaningless.
I miss my HV terribly
In the last 2 days i got so "hungry" for more knowledge that i cannot control it anymore. I need knowledge and research, it has a huge meaning in my life. Jail or even death cannot hold it back anymore.
The SONY's laywer asked me why i'm doing what i'm doing, because of my hatred for SONY ? He cannot understand why i'm doing it, because he is paid for what he does. I'm not. I don't hold a grudge against SONY even now
Hatred clouds your mind, keeps you from more important things. I have a better use for my mind and knowledge
So, SONY you failed again, you took my equipment but my mind is still free and you canot control it. You failed again. They are just tools, i can get new ones and will continue my HV reversing and bringing back PS3 Linux which you took from us. If you want me to stop then you should just kill me because i cannot live without programming, HV and Linux kernel hacking
You know who am i and where i live, so come and get me !!!
And to prove it, i will reopen right now my HV reverse engineering page
And i will post my latest findings about Update Manager and BD drive here. Most of you know already that i was able to update CORE OS from Linux. And on the last weekend i tries to hel some PS3 devs with BD drive authentication and discovered some interesting stuff about it which i will post here.
And please guys, could someone post here a link to the latest version of my cloned Linux kernel. I need it. The last week i implemnted a updater for Linux and it was finished but the police got first before i could upload it. But do not fear, i have everything in my head
I can write it down again and show you how it works.
So, about BD drive authentication
The most importnat HV process is 6. It contains Update Manager and Storage Manager e.g. Update manager flashes e.g. new CORE OS, BD firmware or SYSCON firmware. Storage Manager sets ATA keys, authenticates HDD and BD drives.
Storage Manager
I looked at VSH closer in the last week. And found out that VSH uses the following Storage Manager services: 0×5004 – to authenticate PS3 discs, 0×5007 – to authenticate PS3 discs.
Bothe these services can be used by GameOS through VUART 10 and Dispatcher Manager (is also in a HV process), I already implemented a driver for VUART 10 and DM on Linux and uploaded it, so guys who has my latest Linux version could use it on Linux
And get access to PS3 discs and PS2 discs but i didn't have time to test it.
Both these services accept one parameter: 32 bit integer. Look at the funtion stor_mgr_packetid_0x5004 in my IDA database for HV 3.15. Everything is still the same on 3.41 and 3.55, so my HV 3.15 bible is the key to HV 3.41 and 3.55. They changed almost nothing in new HV versions
And look also at function stor_mgr_packetid_0x5007. I could write down a simple Linux program which uses my DM driver to communicate with Storage Manager and show you how it works
It's very easy. I will upload it maybe next week.
To authenticate PS2 discs, VSH uses parameter 0×52 and service 0×5004. To authenticate PS3 discs, VSH uses parameter 0×53 and service 0×5007. But i didn't test it on my own unfortunately.
PS3′s BD support different profiles for different media, e.g. for PS3 discs, for DVD, for PS2 discs. And storage manager can tell BD drive which profile it should use.
All the communication between Storage Manager and BD drive goes through ATAPI/SCSI interface.
To read the current profile of BD drive, the Storage Manager uses the storage device command 0×11, look at storage_device_RBD_do_device_command in my HV 3.15 IDA database (lv1_storage_Send_device_command) and ATAPI_GetConfiguration. But HV procs do not use HV calls, they use HV syscall, and Storage Manager sends ATAPI commands to BD drive through device file /dev/rbd0. With lv1_storage_Send_device_command(0×11) you could read the current BD profile.
Also very interesting ATAPI commands used by Storage Manager are Report Key/Send Key commands. Look at functions HW_report_key and HW_send_key in my HV proc 6 IDA database. HW_report_key function is e.g. used by Storage Manager to read BD drive policy. Storage Manager checks the policy of BD drive.
Storage Manager uses sv_iso_spu_module.self isolated module to authenticate BD drive. sv_iso_spu_module.self gives Storage Manager data which is sent to BD drive and back.
And look closer at function HW_disc_auth_emu in HV process 6. It's for BD emu
stor_mgr_check_drive_policy in HV prcoess 6 checks BD drive policy.
Functions storage_mgr_set_ata_key/storage_mgr_delete_ata_key sets/deletes ATA keys. These functions are used in Storage Manager service 0×5002. This service is used by System Manager in HV process 9 during LPAR boot.
Update Manager
The name of this service explains already the purpouse of it. The GameOS updater communicates with this service and sends encrypted packages to it. The GameOS updater stores a pkg in memory and passes the LPAR memory address of the pkg to Update Manager. Look at function update_package. This functions can update/inspect and extract packages. UM services 0×6001(update), 0×6002(inspect) and 0×6005 (extract) use it. Inspect just checks if a pkg is valid, Update service installs it and Extract service extracts it and you can get it back extracted from UM.
I implemnted an updater for Linux which uses all these services and it worked like a charm
I could extract and inspect packages. Allocate a huge page on Linux with mmap, lock it with mlock, store there a pkg and send LPAR address to one of this service through DM. I will upload soon my PS3 Linux updater and show you how we can update firmware without GameOS even noticing it
Updater Manager object in HV process 6 has a member variable which checked during package update, and if it contains a magic valu then you can install just any package version
Look at function update_manager_is_valid_access in my IDa database for HV proc 6.

Not sure if you deem this newsworthy, I didn't see this mentioned anywhere. This kind of information may be useful in defense of Graf, but seeing how Sony operates, you never know.
The complaints also touch on Sony's other shady business practices.
There is a PDF included (in German) with a rough translation.
We had an article before of how SONY abusing our privacy online and all that, so now an angry PS3 owner along with his lawyer just lodged a complaint to the European Commissioner of Justice and European Commission Data Protection Officer.
Speaking of German law, the PS3 owner i mentioned above and his lawyer has deeply checked the situation of graf_chokolo with SONY and this what he have to say:
We deeply checked all and all was legit to roughly translate the law for decompilation its UrhG §69e
The authorization of the right holder (aka sony) is not required when the decompilation of the code is required to gain interoperaibility of a computer and for the publishing of his hv bible etc it says basicly its forbidden to publish this information EXCEPT it is required to allow others to gain this interoperability of the system which is the case here
If the manufracturer (sony) doesnt unlock homebrew or install of other system on ps3 its allowed to reverse and publish it to grant others the option to install it to share the required knowledge how to get interoperability very detailed explained by law when it is allowed and it is here indeed

Another update from Graf's Blog: grafchokolo.com/grafchokolo-fight-sony.html/comment-page-8/#comment-4767
SONY forced us to remove all PS3 technical stuff from this blog guys. I wonder how did they manage to "convince" the judge to allow it. Our law system is practically "eating" from hands of SONY, very sad. Many guys are making money with USB dongles for PS3 and i'm not allowed to put MYssssssssssssss PS3 insto service mode, it's hilarious.
They claim that my OtherOS project supports piracy. I never had anything to do with piracy. Everyone knows it, make it clear to those judges who gave SONY those TROs against me. It would be interesting to know what kind of person those judges are and what they look like.

Stainless steel demand continues to show strong growth, much of which has come from real market demand rather than simple inventory restocking.
Despite the US gross domestic product shrinking in the first quarter, the domestic stainless steel market saw an overall year-on-year increase.
Rising nickel prices and other developments have sparked an immediate jump in demand that has pushed distributors into the marketplace.
Every month American Metal Market takes a statistical look inside the marketplace.
We recognize that it takes time to learn to make good, quality steel. And we're not underestimating the need to do that and do it right.

Sudanese refugees face 'humanitarian disaster'
People are dying in large numbers in a refugee camp in South Sudan, Medecins Sans Frontieres has warned.
The medical charity says as many as four young children die at the Batil camp every day - twice the established emergency threshold.
The rainy season makes it impossible to bring food in by road, and the only way to deliver aid is by air.
Some 170,000 refugees have fled to camps in South Sudan from Sudan following fighting north of the border.
"What we are seeing here in this camp in nothing short of a humanitarian catastrophe," MSF's medical co-ordinator Helen Patterson said.
At the scene
The MSF clinic is full of young children crying - but often the ones not making any noise are in the most trouble.
Sadia, wearing a dirty pink dress, is lying on her side, wrapped in a blanket and a foil sheet for warmth.
She is silent, and her movements are laboured. The medical team is able, with a bit of difficulty, to put her on an IV drip, and within a few minutes she seems more lively.
Sadia is suffering from acute malnutrition, and maybe medical complications. Her mother says they walked for six weeks to get here, eating leaves to survive.
Now she is in the clinic, Sadia's chances have improved dramatically.
But many people are dying - an average of three to four young children a day, according to MSF's figures. Batil is on a flood plain, and with heavy rains expected, the fear is those numbers could get even worse.
The majority of those who have died in the camp are children under five, and MSF says that diarrhoea seems to be the biggest cause.
It adds that malnutrition is a contributing factor, calling for urgent help.
The medical charity says some 28% of children in Batil are malnourished, with 10% severely affected.
It says two people per 10,000 are dying each day - double the rate at which an emergency is declared. The camp houses some 34,000 people.
One man, Ibrahim, says his mother died after reaching Batil, in South Sudan's Upper Nile state, which stretches north between Sudan's South Kordofan and Blue Nile states, where fighting is raging between the Sudanese army and rebel groups.
Osman, another refugee, says he has already lost his nephew, and is worried that the baby boy's father will soon die too.
Refugees - many of whom walked to weeks to get to camps - say they were forced from their homes by ground and air attacks by the Sudanese military, and are being chased away because of their ethnic origin.
Officials in Khartoum deny that civilians are being targeted and blame the humanitarian situation on the rebels.
Many people in South Kordofan and Blue Nile fought with southerners against Khartoum's Islamist, Arab-dominated government for two decades. But when South Sudan gained independence in 2011, they found themselves north of the new international border.
South Sudan's government, formed by the ex-rebel movement, denies charges by Khartoum that it is backing the rebel groups on Sudanese territory.
The tension along this part of the border is one of the issues which caused Sudan and South Sudan to come to the brink of war earlier this year.

Wine Spectator
"While it may appear expensive, the sensational 1999 Chianti Classico Riserva Sorbo (a barrique-aged blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a top-flight effort. The color is a deep ruby/purple. The nose offers up gorgeously sweet, expansive aromas of melted licorice, black cherries, currants, underbrush, and a hint of camphor. Dense, chewy, full-bodied, and fabulously pure, with a multilayered, textured mid-palate as well as a long, savory, well-delineated, moderately tannic finish, this is a compelling Chianti to drink now and over the next 10-12 years. "
91 Points
The Wine Advocate
"Medium garnet. Lovely cherry aromas, followed by flavors of anise, redcurrant, cranberry and cherry. Generous and well-extracted, with mouthcoating but ripe tannins. Long, sweet finish. More intensely flavored than the regular 1999 offering."

A genuine and characteristc "Terroir," famous for centuries for its tradition of quality wine cultivation, thanks to a unique combination of high altitude, calcar clayschist soil, lots of light, and a fantastic micro-climate.
One of the most important wine regions in Italy, Tuscany is home to the cities of Florence and Siena, the districts of Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino, and the wineries of Sassicaia, Tignanello and Ornellaia.

Sangiovese (SAHN-gee-oh-VAY-zee) Blood of Jove (literally translated) The principal grape of Chianti - in fact, the principle grape of all of Tuscany - has had its ups and downs. For a stint in the 70s and 80s, wines labeled Chianti contained cheap red wine packaged in a straw casked bottle, most popular for the candle holder it would become. But no more.

HR 25 & S 122, companion bills currently with more support than ANY tax reform, is the destination of all who are serious about our economy, country and future.
FairTax.org and Fairtaxnation.com are excellent resources concerning the above bills.
Also, there are many YouTube videos as well. Type in 'Fairtax'.
Do your own investigative research on this. If it's where you believe we need to go, then contact Rep. Cuellar to get him on board.
Ask him (or any congressman/woman) to defend his/her reasoning to keep the tax system that we currently have. Listen closely to the answer(s) you receive.

A 12-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy were stabbed multiple times in the attack.
Winning seems to change a lot about a team.
The Albany State Rams are evidence of that after a 92-56 victory over Clark Atlanta.
The Rams opened up a 26 point halftime lead and cruised to their 5th victory in their last 6 games.
Jaren Harris led the Rams with 18 points and former Dougherty High star Andrew Covin scored 14.
The Lady Rams lose a tough one to Clark 66-63.
Albany State teams will host rival Fort Valley State Saturday at the HPER Gym.

Scribd Launches a Global 'Spotify For eBooks'
Soulskill posted about a year ago | from the because-customers-want-more-subscriptions dept.53
Nate the greatest writes "Scribd threw its hat in the ebook subscription ring today. The site is expanding on its existing ebookstore with a new $9-a-month all-you-can-read ebook subscription service which offers a selection of ebooks from a number of publishers, including HarperCollins, E-Reads, Kensington, Red Wheel/Weiser, Rosetta Books, Sourcebooks, and Workman. That's a better selection of commercial ebooks than the Kindle owner's lending library, but not quite as broad of a selection as the recently-launched Oyster. However, Scribd is charging less and they're offering better platform support. While Oyster is only available on the iPhone, Scribd has apps for both Android and iOS, and you can read the ebooks in your web browser."

Delicately assembled in fine Italian silk, this long shirt dress is inspired by AR's signature basic shirt, and done in one of the key colors of the season- navy.

The Eyelet Dress employs delicate Japanese lace, and is lined with crisp cotton to keep the flare volume of the skirt. The slashed neckline, French sleeves, and knee length create a flattering silhouette for any woman.

Hi, I want to go because Im waiting my baby girl, and I want to know everything new and obtain more information.. thanks! Maria rivasby maria13 @ Jan. 10, 2014, 9:25 a.m.
Let's be real, I know nothing about babies, much less about baby products and which ones I'll need. I have become an avid reader of baby product reviews on the "Google". Although I'm a teacher, and should know a lot about kids, parenting is not something I studied while in "teacher school". I look at things differently now, not just in an educational perspective, but I find myself asking "how will this benefit our baby?" I'm eager to learn more. This event would help us learn how to be better prepared for our child.by dababymama @ Jan. 10, 2014, 12:01 p.m.
I have always wanted to go to one of these events but never had the money too and since we gave away all of our stuff and got a lil surprise bun in the oven I am out of date with what is out there and would love to learn about all the fabulous new stuff and gear and also hear from the experts of the new changes I may have missed out!by honores418 @ Jan. 10, 2014, 9:21 p.m.

I would love to go to this event so that I can see all the baby gear and speak to all the professionals! I need to learn as much as I can and this event is just a couple of months before birthing so this will be great as we have nothing right now!by princessmom @ Jan. 26, 2014, 6:35 a.m.
My husband and I would really love to go!!! He's traveling a lot lately and we haven't been able to "get ready" for our baby boy. I feel a bit overwhelmed and we have A LOT of questions, so we'll benefit in this event :)

Scott Benefield has been involved in the field of studio glass for over 25 years as a glassblower, writer and workshop leader. He has taught cane techniques at Pilchuck, Penland, Haystack and at numerous universities in the US and abroad. In 2011 he was given the Lifetime Membership Award by the Glass Art Society.
Since childhood a passion for art has driven me to experiment with a variety of media finally concentrating on glass. For 8 years I worked in repair and conservation work simultaneously developing skills in other glass related sectors. I teach traditional lead and copper foiling, fusing, mosaic and glass painting techniques.
Beveridge works from her studio on architectural commissions, installations and sculpture in glass. She has exhibited and taught in Europe and the United States and co-authored two books on kiln-formed glass and mosaic. In 2003 she won the New Talent Prize in the Jutta Cuny-Franz Memorial Award, for sculpture in glass.
Organiser of the twice-yearly National Glass Fair and the new glass fair at Knebworth House. These specialist events feature around 80 exhibitors selling antique and collectable glass alongside contemporary glass artists showing their own work.
My photographic images are important to me as a way of capturing and keeping memories. They are the first tangible material along with the pebbles I collect from the seashore to be used as physical inspiration for my work in glass.
History lies around us
Memories lie within us
Both are moments in time
Some are ephemeral; some are carved in our souls
At Alx Creations I endeavour to hold those memories and the emotions they evoke, in beautiful, handcrafted glass. I work on a range of pieces from architectural glass and public art to smaller works of art for the home and jewellery. I am also available to create bespoke pieces for a range of customers and run one to one workshops.

Colorado property owners faced with possibility of being forced into drilling plans
Above: Elbert County landowner Mark Fault signed a lease that allows Chesapeake Energy Corp. to drill beneath his land in the Cross Diamond subdivision. (Photo by Karl Gehring, The Denver Post)
Under the state's 1951 Oil and Gas Conservation Act, the mineral rights of a landowner who has not signed a lease, or refuses to sign one, can by state order be force pooled, meaning he or she can be included in an energy company's drilling plan.
In 2010, the state oil and gas commission issued 136 orders for items such as variances and rule changes, and 48 of the orders were for forced pooling, according to agency data.
"It sounds like eminent domain, but it is really there to assure orderly oil and gas development," said Lance Astrella, an attorney who represents landowners. "The problem is that it can be abused."

In the wake of Superstorm Sandy, many Bronx families were without power and could not access public transportation. And with the specter of downed power lines, trick or treating on Halloween was cancelled throughout New York City and its neighboring communities. But thanks to staff at the Children's Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center (CERC), on Wednesday, October 31, 2012, more than 150 local children were able to cast their gloom aside, dress up in costumes, and have a "spooktacular" time at the center's second annual Halloween party.
Held in the expansive lobby of Einstein's Van Etten building, parents and children – 300 in all – enjoyed an afternoon of levity and games, organized by CERC staff, in conjunction with staff members from the Rose F. Kennedy University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service (UCEDD) and Rose F. Kennedy Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (IDDRC). The party featured music, face-painting, a bouncy castle, arts and crafts, and much more, with departments from throughout the College of Medicine pitching in. Predoctoral and postdoctoral students from CERC's Sheryl and Daniel R. Tishman Cognitive Neurophysiology Lab and the laboratory of Dr. John Greally also contributed to the festivities, many in costume.
"Our Halloween party was a major success, especially considering that it could have been cancelled, since we had to play it by ear right up until the event started," said Edel Flynn, who organized the event with Sukhi Lee, Shirley Goodlett and Sharon Coachman. "It's amazing!"
Dr. Robert W. Marion, director of CERC and UCEDD, agreed. "Our objective was to bring CERC patients together with Einstein's scientists and clinicians for a fun Halloween celebration," he noted. "In light of all that's happened during and following the storm, I'm amazed and grateful we were able pull together such a wonderful event. It lifted the spirits of CERC, the kids of the Bronx, and their families."

Recent Events at the Gerald R. Ford Library
and Museum
Dr. Allida Black
ANN ARBOR-- In honor of Mrs. Ford's birthday, on April 24, the Library hosted Dr. Allida Black speaking about "Outspoken Women: What Eleanor Roosevelt and Betty Ford Taught Us About Leadership." In a dynamic and riveting presentation to a full house, Dr. Black profiled the parallels and differences in the political influence these two remarkable first ladies had on their husband's public policy initiatives and their re-election efforts. She also discussed how each of them re-defined themselves and took on new public roles after leaving the White House. Describing both first ladies as "special gifts" and models for our country based on their political and personal courage, Dr, Black's broad knowledge and passion held the audience spellbound.
Gerald R. Ford: An Honorable Life
The Museum and the Library held back-to-back programs featuring James Cannon's long-awaited second book on President Ford, "Gerald R. Ford: An Honorable Life," which was released posthumously in May 2013 during President Ford's centennial year. James Cannon served as Ford's White House domestic policy adviser in the Ford administration.
In a moderated discussion by Professor Barry Rabe of the UM Ford School of Public Policy with Cannon's sons, Scott and Jim, the group talked about James Cannon III, his dedication to journalism and the political arena, and their shared admiration for the accomplishments of President Ford.
Yanek Mieczkowski
ANN ARBOR -- On Tuesday, January 14, 2014, The Gerald Ford Library hosted author Yanek Mieczkowski, who spoke about his new book, Eisenhower's Sputnik Moment: The Race for Space and World Prestige.
The book captures the critical Cold War moment in 1957, when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the world's first satellite. Dwight D. Eisenhower's presidency suddenly changed. Mieczkowski took the audience through a comprehensive story of Eisenhower's reaction, including his refusal to panic. Ultimately the President guided America's space program, although in a sharp political conflict with John Kennedy, over sending men to the moon and improving America's global prestige.

Why and how is Cuban Health Care system is effective?
Cuba has the most effective health care system in the world. Death-Born ratio of their babies and children are extremly low. They can obtain most of the drugs for ridiculously low prices. They can slow down spread of epidemic (closest example I remember is swine flu epidemic) Their Med-Schools are quite advaned. Perhaps they don't have the best equipmnets in the world but Cuban doctors usualy very talented. And they built this system with one of worst economy in South America. No mine, no heavy industry only agriculture and tourism. How they built it? and Why we can't built it a better or even a similar system despite the resources we have?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jan 31 2012: My siginificant other is Cuban, and though I don't have any personal experience with the system I can relay what I've heard from him, and also what I've experienced working as a student within the medical feild.
The western system (Canada and America primarily) are set up in symptom treatment mode. The focus is not on prevention but on treating those who are already ill. This is reflected in when and why a majority of people go to the hospital or doctor's office. It's often not until they are so ill it can't be avoided any longer. Waits here are long, and based on illness severity, and the role of the "family" doctor is slowly becoming a thing of the past. Healthcare here, even in Canada, is not universally accessible also due to government funding, red-tape, and insurance costs.
Where as in Cuba, at least Havana, doctor's offices are plentiful and you would go in if you were even feeling just a little bit of the sniffles. Medicine there is more preventative than symptom treatment. Also because of the government set-up healthcare is considered universally accessible.

When the New York Jets are introduced at their 8:20 p.m. Thanksgiving game against the New England Patriots at MetLife Stadium, 11 sixth-graders from Florham Park, Madison and Harding will be leading them out of the tunnel.
The students "were selected for their commitment and involvement in the Jets Play 60 Challenge," according to a post on the New York Jets website about the Thanksgiving game.
The Jets' practice facility is in Florham Park and cornerback Kyle Wilson visited students in those towns this fall to answer questions, promote exercise and healthy eating, and even participate in scooter races.
Jets Play 60 Challenge challenges students to get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day for four weeks. It is the fourth year the program, created by the NFL and the American Heart Association, has been presented in schools.
During the game, 11 sixth-graders from Florham Park, Madison and Harding, N.J., who were selected for their commitment and involvement in the Jets Play 60 Challenge presented by Kinect for Xbox360 will lead the team out of the tunnel during introductions. Also, each participant will receive an Xbox 360 console with Kinect.

@rebeccabloggs Just seen your bio. How odd - I'm a Londoner, relocated to South Yorkshire. Small world!
Goooood morning! Looks like a bright, spring start to the weekend here in South Yorkshire. Hope wherever you are, you have a great weekend!
Goooood morning form the the frosty, South Yorkshire countryside.
A Yorkshire sign. The word 'until' is replaced with 'while'.
Gooood morning! Another frosty start to the day, here in South Yorkshire. How's it where you are?
Gooooood morning - From the foggy, South Yorkshire countryside.
It really feels like a spring morning, here in the South Yorkshire countryside. Not 'too' cold, everything starting to grow. #Spring
