* When Cuba lost access to Soviet oil in the early 1990s, the country faced an immediate crisis feeding the population and an ongoing challenge: how to create a new low-energy society. This documentary tells the story of the Cuban people's hardship, ingenuity and triumph over sudden adversity through cooperation, conservation and community, told in their own words. As the world approaches Peak Oil, Cuba provides a valuable example of how to successfully address the challenge of reducing our energy use.

MARYLAND POPULATION RESEARCH CENTER presents a seminar:
ROBERT M. HAUSER, Vilas Research Professor, Emeritus, Department of Sociology, Center for Demography of Health and Aging, University of Wisconsin-Madison
About the Talk: Many studies have found a positive relationship between cognitive ability, as measured in childhood or youth, and subsequent survival, and several explanations of this have been offered, ranging from the idea that low ability is an indicator of adverse systemic events in infancy or childhood to the idea that high cognitive functioning is required continuously to maintain health and reduce threats to survival.
