CAE has an unparalleled breadth of experience in helicopter simulation, training and mission rehearsal. In fact, no other company has designed training systems for a greater variety of rotary wing platforms. CAE has simulated helicopters from virtually all the major manufacturers, including AgustaWestland, Bell Helicopter Textron, Boeing, Eurocopter, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Kaman, MD Helicopters, NHIndustries, and Sikorsky. CAE is also the industry pioneer in designing and developing a comprehensive turnkey training service for helicopter training, as evidenced at CAE's Medium Support Helicopter Aircrew Training Facility (MSHATF) in the UK.
CAE is responsible for the design and development of some of the most sophisticated and capable helicopter training systems in the world. For the U.S. Navy MH-60S "Sierra" and MH-60R "Romeo," CAE is providing tactical operational flight trainers (TOFTs), which include both the operational flight trainer to train pilots and co-pilots as well as weapons tactics trainers (WTTs) to replicate the back-end of the helicopter for training sensor operators. When integrated, MH-60 TOFTs provide a comprehensive solution to train flight and tactical skills together.
Recently, CAE was awarded a contract from the U.S. Navy to develop two MH-60R TOFTs for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) under a foreign military sales (FMS) program. This is the first-ever procurement of the U.S. Navy's most advanced anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare helicopter outside the United States. The two MH-60R TOFTs for the RAN will be delivered in 2015 to HMAS Albatross, located near Nowra in New South Wales and home of the Royal Australian Navy's Fleet Air Arm.
CAE and HAL established a joint venture company in Bangalore, India called the Helicopter Academy to Train by Simulation of Flying (HATSOFF). The HATSOFF training center includes a CAE-built full-mission helicopter simulator that features CAE's revolutionary roll-on/roll-off cockpit design, which enables cockpits representing various helicopter types to be used in the simulator. The HATSOFF training center currently offers training on three helicopter types – the Bell 412, the civil/conventional HAL Dhruv, and the Eurocopter AS365 N3 Dauphin. An additional cockpit for the Indian Army/Air Force variant of the HAL-built Dhruv will be added in 2014.
The CAE Brunei Multi-Purpose Training Centre (CAE Brunei MPTC) is a joint venture of CAE and the Government of Brunei established in 2012. Initially, the CAE Brunei MPTC, which is scheduled to open in 2014, will include the development of the region's largest helicopter training center with training programs already under development for the Sikorsky S-92 and S-70i Black Hawk helicopters.
CAE and AgustaWestland have a joint venture company called Rotorsim that offers comprehensive AW109 and AW139 at several locations globally, and will add AW189 training at the Rotorsim training centre in Sesto Calende during 2013. CAE is also developing, in partnership with AgustaWestland, AW139 full-flight simulators for Professional Way in Malaysia as well as a joint venture of Abu Dhabi Aviation and Mubadala Aerospace in the Middle East.
CAE is significantly expanding its global presence in civil helicopter training. CAE and its partners offer training on 17 helicopter simulation in 11 locations, including Bengaluru, India (HATSOFF); Dubai (Emirates-CAE Flight Training); Sesto Calende, Italy (Rotorsim); Stavanger, Norway; Aberdeen, Scotland; Morristown, N.J. and Phoenix, Ariz.; Vancouver, Canada; Toluca, Mexico; Sao Paulo, Brazil; and Zhuhai, China.
These locations include simulators for the AgustaWestland AW109 and AW139, Bell 212/412. Eurocopter AS332L/L1 Super Puma, AS332L2 Super Puma, AS350B2 Astar, AS365 Dauphin, HAL Dhruv, and Sikorsky S61, S-76B, S-76C+ and S-76C++. In 2011, CAE acquired the helicopter flight training operations of CHC Helicopter, a global leader in helicopter services, and agreed to become CHC's long-term training provider, responsible for training more than 2,000 helicopter pilots and maintenance engineers.
CAE also formed a joint venture with Lider Aviacao, the largest helicopter operator in Brazil. The new JV acquired the first full-motion Level D CAE 3000 Series full-flight simulator (FFS), replicating the S-76C++ installed at CAE's training center in Sao Paulo.
CAE and JV partner China Southern Airlines also installed an S-76C++ FFS in Zhuhai, the first CAE 3000 Series civil helicopter flight and mission simulator in Asia.
In early 2012, CAE opened a new training center near Mexico City in Toluca, including a Bell 412 FFS. The CAE 3000 Series helicopter flight and mission simulators provide an immersive training experience for civil helicopter pilots. This new CAE simulation capability offers unprecedented realism for helicopter-specific mission training, including offshore, emergency medical services, law enforcement, high-altitude, corporate, and other operations.
The U.S. FAA qualified the first CAE 3000 Series helicopter simulator, a Eurocopter AS350 located in Phoenix, for Level 7 flight training device credits. FAA has also approved CAE to deliver the pilot training ground school for the AS350 helicopter through a CAE Simfinity e-Learning program, enabling pilots to reduce their time at the training center for both initial and recurrent training.
CAE is uniquely qualified to handle all helicopter simulation, training and mission rehearsal needs. From entry level training devices to the networking of advanced multi-mission helicopter simulators operating in an interactive threat environment, we've earned our reputation as the leader in helicopter simulation. CAE's experience, technology leadership, and focus help ensure aircrews always stay one step ahead to achieve mission readiness.

TORONTO, June 19 (UPI) -- The Toronto Zoo is joining a program to turn animal waste into power, zoo officials say.
The zoo is teaming up with the ZooShare Biogas Co-operative to make the operational 500 kilowatt biogas plant, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported.
The $5.4 million project is being funded, designed, developed, constructed and operated by ZooShare and will by the first co-operatively owned biogas plant in Canada and the first biogas plant that is zoo-based in North America.
Both manure from the zoo and food waste from a major grocery retailer will go to the proposed plant, which will then be processed into electricity, heat and fertilizer.
ZooShare estimates the program will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 11,023 tons of CO2, or the equivalent of taking 1,800 cars off the road each year.

Editor's Note: In today's United States, is being black determined by the color of your skin, by your family, by what society says or something else? Soledad O'Brien reports "Who Is Black in America?" on CNN at 8 p.m. ET/PT Sunday, December 15.
By Moni Basu, CNN
(CNN) -- What is black? Race. Culture. Consciousness. History. Heritage.
A shade darker than brown? The opposite of white?
Who is black? In America, being black has meant having African ancestry.
But not everyone fits neatly into a prototypical model of "blackness."
Scholar Yaba Blay explores the nuances of racial identity and the influences of skin color in a project called (1)ne Drop, named after a rule in the United States that once mandated that any person with "one drop of Negro blood" was black. Based on assumptions of white purity, it reflects a history of slavery and Jim Crow segregation.
In its colloquial definition, the rule meant that a person with a black relative from five generations ago was also considered black.
One drop was codified in the 1920 Census and became pervasive as courts ruled on it as a principle of law. It was not deemed unconstitutional until 1967.
Blay, a dark-skinned daughter of Ghanian immigrants, had always been able to clearly communicate her racial identity. But she was intrigued by those whose identity was not always apparent. Her project focuses on a diverse group of people -- many of whom are mixed race -- who claim blackness as their identity.
That identity is expanding in America every day. Blay's intent was to spark dialogue and see the idea of being black through a whole new lens.
"What's interesting is that for so long, the need to define blackness has originated from people who were not themselves black, and their need to define it stemmed from their need to control it," says Blay.
Blackness, she says, isn't so easily defined by words. What is blackness for one person may not necessarily be that for another.
"And that's fine," Blay says. "Personally, my blackness is reflective of my ancestry, my culture and my inheritance."
"Black," in reference to people and identity, she says, is worthy of capitalization. Otherwise, black is just another color in the box of crayons. (CNN, like other news organizations, does not capitalize black or white.)
CNN interviewed some of the people who participated in Blay's project to find out how they view themselves. What follows are their insights into race and identity.
Kathleen Cross: Black as a descriptor of color makes her identity hard to accept.
Black and white
California author Kathleen Cross, 50, remembers taking a public bus ride with her father when she was 8. Her father was noticeably uncomfortable that black kids in the back were acting rowdy. He muttered under his breath: "Making us look bad."
She understood her father was ashamed of those black kids, that he fancied himself not one of them.
"My father was escaping blackness," she says. "He didn't like for me to have dark-skinned friends. He never said it. But I know."
She asked him once if she had ancestors from Africa. He got quiet. Then, he said: "Maybe, Northern Africa."
"He wasn't proud of being black," she says.
Cross' black father and her white mother never married. Fair-skinned, blue-eyed Cross was raised in a diverse community.
Later, she found herself in situations where she felt shunned by black people. Even light-skinned black people thought she was white.
"Those who relate to the term 'black' as a descriptor of color are unlikely to accept me as black," she says. "If they relate to the term 'black' as a descriptor of culture, history and ancestry, they have no difficulty seeing me as black."
At one time in her life, she wished she were darker -- she might have even swallowed a pill to give her instant pigment if there were such a thing. She even wrote about being "trapped in the body of a white woman." She didn't want to "represent the oppressor."
She no longer thinks that way.
She doesn't like to check the multiracial box. "It erases everything," she says.
She doesn't like biracial, either. Or mixed. It's not her identity.
"There's only one race," she says, "and that's the human race."
"I am a descendant of a stolen African and Irish and English immigrants. That makes me black -- and white -- in America.
Biany Perez: Too Latina to be black, too black to be Latina?
Blackness and culture?
Biany Perez, 31, loves Michael Jackson but she doesn't know the Jackson Five. She didn't know that "Good Times" was a television show about a black family struggling to survive in south Chicago. Nor was she able to pick up certain colloquialisms in the English spoken by the black kids in the Bronx, where she grew up the daughter of Dominican parents.
Some people questioned Perez's blackness because she didn't fit into their definition of black.
She spoke only Spanish at home. She watched Telemundo and listened to Puerto Rican boy band Menudo.
She wasn't black enough because she was Latina and not Latina enough because she was black.
"The way I look shakes the image of Latina," says Perez, a program manager at a nonprofit in Philadelphia. "As I started getting older, I felt more comfortable in my skin."
Now, she calls herself Afro-Domincan.
"I think black is a broader definition I also embrace," she says. "Black is more than just saying that I am an African in America. It's political.
"It's about me connecting myself to my ancestors."
For Perez, black is about empowerment.
Kristina Robinson calls herself black over Creole.
Creole identity is a complicated thing in Louisiana, says Kristina Robinson, 29, of New Orleans.
It's an ethnicity, a cultural designation for people descended from colonial settlers in Louisiana, mainly of French and Latin lineage.
The term Creole was claimed by the French and Spanish settlers in colonial times but it also referred to Africans and people who were a mixture of races. Those mixed-race descendants became a unique racial group and sometimes even included Native American heritage.
But in popular representation, Robinson says Creole has come to be defined as skin color.
She doesn't want to deny the rich Creole history but she doesn't identify as such if it means moving away from her blackness.
Black people think that her embrace of Creole means a rejection of being black.
"I never wanted to distance myself from my black ancestors," says the creative writing graduate student at Dillard University.
"They are the ones who claim me."
In her light skin, Robinson understands the insidious ways of colorism, a system in which light skin is valued more than dark skin.
"Colorism is a major problem within the Creole community and the black community," she says. "It's underdiscussed. It's perplexing and vexing how to work out this idea. I can see how the one drop rule is why we have so much colorism in our society.
"One drop is a lie," she says. "Black plus white doesn't equal black or it doesn't equal white. It equals black plus white."
She calls herself black. But other people think she is from India or the Middle East, especially in her academic work environment, where she does not have black colleagues.
"The assumption is I am not black," she says.
Ultimately, she believes environment plays a big role in identity.
Few people, she says, think that of her sister. One reason may be that her sister has more of a button nose. But another reason is that she works in a field with more black people, whereas Robinson finds herself in academic settings where she is the sole black woman.
Robinson acknowledges her lighter skin gives her privilege in a color-conscious society.
"But in those situations where you have to identify yourself and you choose to identify yourself as white -- there's a big denial going on there.
"I do think it's troublesome when someone who is of mixed race chooses to deny that part of them that was oppressed," she says.
James Bartlett: White privilege means the freedom not to have to address race.
Race equals identity, or not?
Race is a social construct; identity is personal.
That's how James Bartlett, 31, views it.
"I'm black, I'm biracial," he says of his black father and Irish mother, who met and married in Louisville, Kentucky, just a few years after a 1967 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that made anti-miscegenation laws unconstitutional.
He was raised in an all-black neighborhood; his mother was the only white person on the block.
"I interchanged between saying I am biracial and I am black," he says. "The culture I live in is black. I felt black because black people considered me black. That was because of the one drop rule."
But later, when he went to Ghana, the locals thought he was from Lebanon. Kids called him "Oburoni," the word for a white man.
Bartlett felt as though he were being told he was not who he really was even before he could interact with them, as though they were taking away his black identity.
"It put me on the complete opposite side of the coin," Bartlett says. "The first reaction was to put me in a box."
In America, people thought of him as a lot of things but not usually straight-up white.
"It's difficult for me to separate race and identity," says Bartlett, the newly named executive director of the Museum of Contemporary Diasporan African Arts in Brooklyn.
He is black, he says, because he didn't grow up with white privilege. What is that? The freedom, he replies, to not have to address race.
"I definitely didn't grow up with that," he says.
Being white in America is also knowing that people who look like you are always representing your interests in institutions of power.
"That is the essence of white privilege," he says. "Regardless of changing (demographic) percentages and numbers, racial representation is going to remain out of balance for quite some time."
In some ways, Bartlett says, he has been more attuned to race as a light-skinned black man than he would have been had he been darker.
Bartlett feels white people in America are threatened by the tide of color across the nation and that it will give rise to an us against them" mentality.
"I think blackness will change, too," he says. "The biggest change in the near future will be the end of blackness as a diametric opposite to whiteness."
Charles Cloud: He could have passed for a lot of things. He chose black.
Here and abroad
Charles Benjamin Cloud, 63, remembers a time when he was angry at all white people. That was in the time of the white water fountain and the black water fountain.
"They had their side of town; we had ours," he says of his childhood in New Bern, North Carolina.
As the son of a Cherokee man and a part-Cherokee, part-black woman, Cloud could have passed for something other than black.
"If I had decided to tell everyone I was Puerto Rican or Mexican, people probably wouldn't have known a difference," he says.
But he didn't.
"I never wanted to identify as white," he says.
"Blackness is a state of mind more so than a physical experience. But back then, physical appearance was much more of a black identity than it is now."
Cloud joined the Air Force and traveled the world. His light, ruddy complexion threw people off. The Turks thought he was Turkish; the Iranians thought he was from Iran. He even passed for Greek.
But back home, he chose not just to be American. He was black.
Sembene McFarland gets strange questions because of her skin condition.
Losing color
What happens when you lose your color as is Sembene McFarland, a 35-year-old emergency room nurse in Newark, New Jersey?
She has a condition known as vitiligo and is losing the pigmentation of her skin. The disorder affects people of all races but is most prominent in those with darker complexions.
McFarland describes herself as "garden-variety black" but once her vitiligo became noticeable, she found herself the target of outlandish comments.
When McFarland was working at a cash register job at a Barnes and Noble, a customer told her, "If you got rid of the rest of the color, you would be a really pretty Asian girl."
"Thank you very much," McFarland told the woman. "Have a nice day."
Now, she can't relay the story without laughing out loud.
Others have wondered: Were you white first or black first?
"That blew my mind," she says.
Her skin condition shows how people think of being black so literally, she says.
"When I think black, I don't think a particular shade," she says.
McFarland was 16 when she first learned she had vitiligo. It was tough. At that young age, no one wants to stand out.
Later she laughed. In high school in Mississippi, her classmates always joked she wanted to be white. She spoke like a white person. Some people said she sat like a white person -- all proper.
Now here she was, turning white.
In the end, McFarland says, it's not about black or white. It's all the shades of gray that make people uncomfortable.
Brandon Stanford: My complexion is not black but I am black.
Unique but certain
Brandon Stanford's parents met in school in New Jersey. His mom's Irish family rejected her for dating a black man.
They've been married 37 years.
In that time, a lot has changed about being a child of an interracial marriage. For one, the man who occupies the White House is the son of a Kenyan man and a white American woman. Many Americans think being mixed is "cool."
Stanford, 29, has his own take.
"I wouldn't say that being mixed race is either cool or not cool," he says.
"I'd say it's a reality that one can choose to embrace by seeing the beauty of a world where the possibilities of transcending the limitations of race and racism exists if one is able to recognize the oneness of humanity. Is this not what our democracy is supposed to represent?"
Stanford, a graduate student in African-American studies at Philadelphia's Temple University, has had his identity questioned by both whites and blacks. That makes being mixed race difficult for some.
Some times white people speak about black people in front of Stanford, assuming he is white. He lets them go on for a while and then says: "By the way, I am one of them."
"I have a unique position in the world based upon what my complexion is," Stanford says. "I always have an opportunity to unsettle people's minds."
But Stanford has never wavered on his identity.
"My complexion is not black, yet I am black," he says.
Stanford doesn't deny his Irish ancestry. The Irish, he points out, were thought of as inferior by the English. They, too, faced discrimination in the United States. Black people were often called the "dark Irish," he says.
But the Irish in America distanced themselves from the anti-slavery movement in the interest of joining the white mainstream, Stanford says. That's where his connection to the Irish stops.
"I identify myself as African-American because of the history of the culture," he says.
Kaneesha Parsard: Blackness stems from a moment in history.
The past in the present
Black unequivocally.
That's how Kaneesha Parsard, 23, grew up. She was the daughter of parents who immigrated to the United States from Jamaica in the 1980s.
She didn't understand what her father's ancestry -- her grandfather was Indian -- had to do with her.
"I took the one drop rule pretty seriously," says Parsard, a graduate student in African-American studies at Yale University.
Parsard's father was born in British-ruled Jamaica. He was raised with Indian people but identified as black because, she says, of how exclusionary Indian communities can be in Jamaica.
She began to think about her own identity when roti and chicken curry appeared at the Thanksgiving table.
"What I have come to realize is that ... people's history is intertwined, that being mixed race is not at odds with being black," she says.
"When we think about blackness, it's usually along a black-white context," she says. "But there are many histories, interesting histories of resistance."
For Parsard, blackness stems from a moment in time in 1492, with the discovery of a new land and a history of brutality that followed.
Appearance is a primary factor for many Americans in determining race and identity. For Parsard and others in Yaba Blay's project, it's not.

GOP '16: Governors vs. D.C. insiders
Forget the establishment versus the tea party, or social conservatives versus fiscal conservatives. Of all the tensions within the Republican Party, the dynamic that may loom largest for 2016 is this: Washington versus the rest of America.
Here in the nation's capital, GOP speculation about the next presidential race focuses on a handful of federal officials: Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Peter Shumlin: Look to states for progressive action)
But to the community of Republicans based outside of Washington, there's more than a little eye-rolling at the idea of choosing a nominee from inside the Beltway.
As the Republican Party seeks to recover from the debacle of 2012, few believe it's the party's congressional wing — locked in an endless cycle of budget battles with a popular Democratic president — that's going to lead the conservative comeback.
According to this line of thinking, even the most dynamic congressional Republicans are tied to the cesspool of a dysfunctional Capitol Hill culture, not to mention a list of debates around taxes, immigration and other issues that obviously favors President Barack Obama.
( Also on POLITICO: Transpo plan passage a big win for McDonnell)
Instead, GOP governors and party leaders at the National Governors Association winter meeting this weekend predicted it would be leaders in the states — starting with the governors themselves — who make it possible for Republicans to win the White House again.
Though nobody's quite ready to announce for president just yet.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said the next Republican president should "absolutely" be a governor.
"The American people want someone who's been tested. You get tested as a governor," Walker said at POLITICO's State Solutions Conference on Friday. (He stopped short of volunteering himself. "Do I want to run? I want to be governor," Walker said.)
( PHOTOS: Republicans, 2016 contenders)
Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad said he felt "the best presidents have been governors." Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, a former congressman elected governor in November, left little doubt about where he thinks conservative ideas are on the upswing.
"The example of successful Republican governors around the country is an encouragement to millions of Americans, and I think the state of Indiana has been an example of a state that works [and] demonstrated you can run a government that lives within its means, promotes economic freedom, promotes education, innovation, reform and meets the practical needs of our citizens," Pence said. "I think the example of successful states, including Indiana, is a great source for encouragement."
Asked whether the next Republican president would come from the states, Pence hesitated — and an aide cut in: "We've got to get to lunch!"
At the moment, most of the best-known Republicans are those with a national microphone in Washington: Rubio just appeared on the cover of Time magazine, while Ryan was the party's vice presidential nominee in 2012. But Republicans privately list more than a half-dozen current and former governors they view as potential standard-bearers for '16, including Walker, Pence, Chris Christie of New Jersey and Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, as well as Virginia's Bob McDonnell, New Mexico's Susana Martinez, Ohio's John Kasich and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

Yes! V is only 19 months old but her newest thing is saying "HELP HELP" when she wants something. You can imagine what that might be like in a grocery store with a little girl yelling "HELP HELP" from a shopping cart. I think it's funny, but onlookers give me strange glances.

Porto took advantage of the Lisbon derby being postponed to move within one point of Primeira Liga leaders Benfica on Sunday.
Benfica's clash with Sporting Lisbon was eagerly anticipated but the game at Estadio da Luz never even got started after parts of the stadium roof fell off in high winds.
Insulation material began falling from the roof prior to kick-off as winds battered the Portuguese capital.
After attempts to make the stadium safe for players and spectators failed, the contest would be postponed on safety grounds.
That allowed Porto to close the gap on Benfica with a 3-0 home win over Pacos de Ferreira.
Ricardo Quaresma got the all-important first goal just before half-time from the penalty spot.
But from there, Paulo Fonseca's side were still forced to work hard for their triumph, not sealing the result until two goals in the last three minutes as first Jackson Martinez netted in the 87th minute and then substitute Ricardo Pereira added a third goal in stoppage time.
Sporting Braga climbed to sixth with a 4-1 win over a 10-man Gil Vicente, who have not won a league game since November 3.
Rafa Silva scored in the eighth and 15th minutes to give the hosts the early initiative.
Diogo Viana pulled a goal back just after the hour mark but Colombian Felipe Pardo quickly restored Braga's two-goal lead.
Cesar Peixoto was then sent off with 21 minutes to play before Pardo grabbed his second, and Braga's fourth.
Other results on Sunday saw Oumar Diakhite's 89th-minute leveller give Olhanense a 1-1 home draw against Maritimo, while Arouca also left it late to snatch a point, with Tunisia international Lassad Nouioui scoring an injury-time equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Rio Ave.

Will reforming Medicare fees keep doctors in the program? No: More doctors are needed instead
The latest scare tactic by right-wing opponents of the Affordable Care Act aims at convincing Americans that reasonable trims in Medicare spending will make it very difficult for seniors to find a good doctor in coming years.
A lot of this hooey is based on an outdated 2008 report from the Medicare Payments Advisory Commission that 29 percent of the Medicare beneficiaries who were looking for a primary care doctor had a problem finding one to treat them, up from 24 percent the year before.
Please note that the report by the independent federal panel that advises Congress on Medicare was issued the year before the House and Senate passed the Affordable Health Care and made it the crowning achievement of President Barack Obama's first term.
There's no doubt that some doctors are leaving Medicare, but many do so in order to band together to form small concierge clinics that cater to wealthy seniors. These posh clinics are designed to cater to the top 1 percent of the nation's elderly — the ones who can pay boutique prices and prefer not to sit next to the riff-raff in germ-filled waiting rooms.
There's no doubt some physicians are leaving the Medicare system, but they hardly constitute the mass exodus that free-market advocates imply.
A survey reported in the June 27 Archives of Internal Medicine found that physician acceptance of new Medicare patients fell to 92.9 percent in 2008 from 95.5 percent in 2005, while more recent survey in early October by the Texas Medical Association reported 3 percent of its members withdrew from the federal program.
If there are serious doctor shortages looming in our future, they are more likely attributable to the rapid growth of people over 65 rather than a flight of health-care providers.
Some 40 million Americans have Medicare insurance, but they will be joined soon by 70 million baby boomers. The United States needs to increase significantly the ranks of its medical school graduates or begin to import more from abroad.
As for the doctors who would rather ignore their Hippocratic oaths to serve the poor as well as the rich, they will evoke few cries of pity from most Americans. While the proposed cuts in Medicare payments would cut a few percentage points from their income, they are hardly bound for the poor house.
American physicians across all categories make far more than their counterparts in any other country including such affluent ones as Germany, Japan, Britain, France, Denmark and Sweden.
Consider the median salaries as recently catalogued by the American Medical Group Association, which has been tracking the salaries of U.S. physicians since 1986.
They range from $204,000 for practitioners of family medicine to $605,953 for orthopedic surgeons who specialize in joint replacements. In between are anesthesiologists at $370,500, dermatologists at $375,176, gastroenterologists at $405,000, and radiation therapists at $447,250.
Bear in the mind that those are median salaries with half of all doctors making more and half making less. By comparison, the median household income in the United States is $46,623.
The fact that a relative handful of doctors are quibbling about slight cutbacks to their incomes at a time when 20 million Americans are unemployed or underemployed can be laid at the doorsteps of President Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Instead a of pushing for a low-cost, single-payer health-care system when Democrats controlled Congress in 2009, the trio couldn't forgo millions of dollars in campaign contributions from Big Pharma, Big Insurance and powerful physician groups.
If they had, Americans might now be enjoying the low-cost, highly effective national health insurance that has been available for decades to the citizens of Canada, Japan, the European Union and virtually every other advanced nation on Earth.
Indeed, if that system were in place now, no greedy doctor would be able to turn his back on the needy. The biblical admonition "physician heal thyself" seems apropos.

SPIESS, HERMANN (ca. 1818–?). Hermann Spiess, German colonizer, was born around 1818 in Offenbach, Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, the son of Luise (Werner) and Johann Balthasar Spiess; his father was a musician, linguist, pastor, writer on public education, and founder of the public education school system in Offenbach. Hermann's brother Adolf, an ardent physical culturist, had been a tutor to the young Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels, but in 1833 was urged to flee from Giessen because of his acquaintance with members of the Frankfurt student Putsch, or revolt, taking Hermann with him to Burgdorf, Switzerland. Hermann returned to the Gymnasium (school) in Darmstadt in 1835, where he and Ferdinand Herff both passed their maturity examinations in 1838. That spring Hermann Spiess entered the University of Giessen, but the following year, because of his activities against the reactionary school government, Spiess was expelled for 2½ years. During that time he attended Polytechnic Institute in Karlsruhe, entering the school of natural sciences. He returned to Giessen in 1842, passed the examination, and from 1842 to 1845 he was with the woods and forests commission in Darmstadt, passing the second examination in 1844. In the spring of 1845 he took a two-year leave of absence; he traveled to New York, then west to Milwaukee, then south to New Orleans, Galveston, and New Braunfels in the spring of 1846. Spiess returned to Darmstadt, but despite the promise of a secure professional career he wrote that he "could not find any peace and suffered as the entire German youth or young manhood at that time." He convinced Herff and Gustav Schleicher to join him in founding a socialistic colony in Wisconsin. As Spiess gathered a number of young men who were interested in the plan, his work became known in Darmstadt. Contacted by an envoy of Count Carl of Castell-Castell, Spiess and Herff were interviewed in Wiesbaden, and they agreed to bring their colony to Texas and settle on Adelsverein lands. Herff and Spiess landed in New York in April 1847 and continued by way of New Orleans and Galveston. Spiess went to New Braunfels, and Herff remained on the coast to meet the "Darmstadters" at Indianola (see LATIN SETTLEMENTS OF TEXAS).

Count Carl sent a letter with Spiess announcing his appointment to the position of general commissioner of the Adelsverein, as John O. Meusebach had already made known his plan to resign as head of the Verein's colonization project. When Meusebach replaced the controversial "Dr. Schubbert," whose real name was Friedrich Armand Strubberg, with Jean von Coll as colony director in Fredericksburg, Schubbert refused to give up the post and would not vacate the society's living quarters. Spiess went there to settle the matter and also to regain control of Nassau Plantation (see NASSAU FARM), a Verein-owned 5,000-acre plantation in Fayette County, which Schubbert had earlier acquired by lease. After the breakdown of negotiations between Spiess and Schubbert, Schubbert took physical possession of Nassau Plantation, and a pre-dawn gunfight between the two factions at Nassau resulted in the death of a man named Sommers with the Schubbert party from La Grange, and Casper Rohrdorf (see SWISS) with the Spiess group. In a September 27, 1848, trial in La Grange, Spiess was acquitted on the grounds of self-defense in the death of Sommers. Spiess supervised the surveying of land for the expected Darmstadt colony on the Llano River, and a place was selected as close as possible to Fredericksburg for protection and source of supplies. A road was laid out, and a river crossing was prepared. Wagons were sent to the coast in July to bring the Darmstadters to their new location, which was not actually on the exact site Spiess had chosen. They named the new colony Bettinaqv.

Meanwhile the financial affairs of the society had continued to disintegrate, and Spiess had inherited the responsibility of keeping the colonies going. The necessity of maintaining the still dependent colonies of New Braunfels and Fredericksburg involved hundreds of mule and ox carts, wagoners, saddlers, blacksmiths, bookkeepers, and clerks. On the last days of 1847 Spiess made it known that the affairs of the society would be severely limited. The administration at Fredericksburg, as well as that at Indianola, was abolished, and a number of oxen, mules, and wagons were auctioned to meet some of the society's debts. Hermann Wilke was retained to continue the surveying of town lots and ten-acre plots, and the original deeds transferring the lands from the Verein to the settlers bear the name of Hermann Spiess. Spiess participated in the activities of New Braunfels from the beginning. In 1848, with Ludwig Bene (afterwards his successor as Verein administrator) and Louis C. Ervendberg; he signed the petition for the charter of the Western Texas Orphan Asylum, for those children whose parents had died during the illnesses that plagued the colonists during their migration from the coast to New Braunfels in 1845–46. In 1850 Spiess and a number of men formed the Guadalupe River Bridge Company to construct a toll bridge across the river in New Braunfels. During this time he also built a sawmill and a shingle mill on his property at Waco Springs, just above New Braunfels. After the strong antislavery statement issued at a German political meeting held in San Antonio in May 1854, Spiess and several other Texas Germans issued a statement in the Texas State Gazette (see AUSTIN STATE GAZETTE), on June 18, 1854, defending the majority of their fellow settlers against the resulting press indictment that Texas Germans were pro-Union and antislavery (see GERMAN ATTITUDE TOWARD THE CIVIL WAR). In 1851 Spiess was married to Lena Spiess, the Mexican girl whose story had become legend among the early German settlers. They had ten children, three of whom died in infancy. In 1867 Spiess sold his Texas property on the advice of his doctor to move to a colder climate. The family settled in Warrensburg, Missouri, where Spiess died sometime after 1873.

Zionist Immoral Intervention
By Gilad Atzmon
Alan Dershowitz is whining again, this time on the pages of the Jerusalem Post. Apparently The Friends Seminary of New York which assigned its students to read my papers and invited me to attend a class, has made it clear to Israeli ethnic cleanser apologist that he was not welcome in its premises.
Dershowitz Admits Defeat
In short, Dershowitz admits total defeat. The Quaker school that was "unwilling to cancel Atzmon's appearance" made it clear to the Zionist supremacist that he was unwelcomed.
This is not the first time Dershowitz is hurt by me being welcomed while he is spitted out. Yet, I am puzzled by the fact that Dershowitz is so keen to share his humiliation with the public. Normal people tend to hide such an embarrassing developments. Dershowitz may have well developed a close affinity to himself being a victim. This tendency is indeed symptomatic within the Jewish identity discourse and Jewish culture. It is there to stop self-reflection. Rather than looking in the mirror Dershowitz celebrates self-pity hoping to buy some empathy amongst his supportive Jewish crowd. It reminds me an old Jewish joke. Why don't Jews drink? Because it numbs the pain. Dershowitz, is not going to hide or let the pain fade, he would actually make it into his flag.
According to Dershowitz whom Noam Chomsky and many others regard as a 'remarkable Liar', the headmaster of the Friends Seminary, has broken his solemn promise to him, to bring him along to present the anti Atzmon argument.
- Dershowitz insists that the headmaster of the seminary agreed to:
- Speak at an assembly to the students about the "evils of anti-Semitism".
- Assigned Dershowitz' essay to the students who were assigned my essay
- Invite Deshowitz to address the students
Dershowitz suggests that the Seminary broke those 3 promises. "Apparently", according to Dershowitz, "the students who were at the assembly have confirmed that the speakers only made things worse. The teacher who invited Atzmon talked about what a great musician he was. The headmaster was defensive about how his words were manipulated and justified bringing Atzmon based on Quaker principles."
It doesn't take a genius to realise that my work is compatible with Quaker philosophy – I preach peace and tolerance. Yet, I wonder how long is it going to take to Dershowitz to accept that my work is supported by some of the greatest humanists of our time, while he, has managed to buy himself a horrendous reputation of a compulsive liar and a defender of a genocidal State. How long will it take for Dershowitz, ADL and AZZs to accept that calling me an 'anti Semite' or a 'holocaust denier' is counter effective. First, because I am not. Second, because it only proves that Jewish culture has lost its capacity to engage in any process of self reflection or productive exchange.
By now it must be clear to my detractors that all those Jewish smear campaigns against myself and The Wandering Who only achieved one thing. They proved how valid my criticism of Jewish identity Politics is.
Dershowitz is deluded enough to believe that the real reason behind his rejection was "pressure from hard-left members" within the faculty. He is obviously wrong. Dershowitz ideology and manners are incompatible with humanism let alone Quaker philosophy. There is no room for Dershowitz in any pluralist or tolerant institute and not because of his supremacist or racist views, but because the elder Zionist is an opponent of elementary freedoms and human rights.
As one would expect, Dershowitz reverts to the usual Zionist pressure.
"Unless I am invited to address the students inside the school, I will appear outside the school, where I will hand out my essays to those students who are willing to read them and will address those students who have an interest in hearing a response to anti-Semitism. I am also considering inviting parents, students and other members of the Friends Seminary community to an event, in a venue outside the school, where these issues can be discussed openly and candidly."
Watch some exciting moments from the MLK memorial concert @ Friends Meeting House, an event Dershowitz attempted to destroy
I am perplexed, if Dershowitz is so convinced by his argument, why wouldn't he debate me? Is he afraid? Probably and he has a good reason. However, Dershowitz offer is indeed an amazing development, the notorious supremacist offers some free Zionist supplementary teaching for Quaker youngsters. This must be ideal, the students will be able to enjoy both worlds. They will encompass the true meaning of peace in the morning and then learn how to justify a Zionist massacre just before they go to bed. lol
Dershowitz ends his daily drivel saying, "the Friends Seminary, like other elite schools around the United States, teaches our future leaders." For once, I agree with Dershowitz. This is exactly why the Quaker institute assigned a humanist paper by myself while Dershowitz and his paper were not allowed entry.

In Reply to: Dang, Gina. posted by RRC on October 26, 2007
: : : : "Dang, Gina." Where did this originate and what is it's meaning?
: : : There's evidence on the internet to suggest it came from the Fox TV show Martin, starring Martin Lawrence, in the late 1990's. There was a character named Gina, and "Dang, Gina" became a catch phrase.
: : : In my generation there were people who would occasionally say "Dammit, Janet" which is from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
: : And "Jeez Louise" from the film Thelma and Louise was also popular for a while. Pamela
: Jeez/Geez Louise is quite a bit older than 1991.
Roger Miller had a hit called 'Dang me' back in 1964.

Hi there! My name is Laurel Reitman and I'm a Lead Program Manager on the Internet Explorer team working on our Programming Model. I had the pleasure of attending the AJAX Experience May 10th-12th down in San Francisco. A big thanks to Ben & Dion from Ajaxian.com for hosting the conference.
It was a great opportunity to sit down with developers who are building AJAX-style web sites as well as developers who are building tools to make it easier for others to build rich applications. I feel like I got some good insights into what they think of IE today, and what they'd like to see in future versions. Particularly a big thanks to Alex Russell from Dojo, Brendan Eich from Mozilla, Stuart Halloway from Relevance, Douglas Crockford & Bill Scott from Yahoo, Glenn Vanderburg, Brent Ashley, Joe Walker, and many others for taking the time to sit down and chat with me to express their thoughts and feedback. I look forward to the continued dialog!
One question on the top of everyone's mind is how to debug and get more information about what's going on with their AJAX-style applications. I wanted to point folks to some of the tools that are available today with Internet Explorer, many of which I mentioned at the conference.
Phil wrote a great blog post, back in October 2004 that mentions some of the how to and tools to use to debug script in Internet Explorer. Another article to add to the list talks about how to debug Atlas applications in VS2005. Many of those tips transfer to AJAX-style applications in general. There is also a great whitepaper on how to debug code using Visual Studio that specifically calls out some troubleshooting scenarios.
Another tool I mentioned at the conference was Nikhil Kothari's Web Development Helper that brings script debugging into a browser extension. Nikhil is an architect on the Web Platform and Tools team at Microsoft (which delivers IIS, ASP.NET and Visual Studio Web development tools) so he has a lot of firsthand experience debugging AJAX-Style applications.
Additionally, as has been mentioned in a few other IE Blog posts, the IE team is working on a free developer toolbar. The latest version is available here. The toolbar includes a DOM explorer among many other cool features to make it easier to build and debug your web pages.
Also several folks mentioned using vi and Emacs as their development environment. I'd encourage you to take a look at the new Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition. It's a great tool for building and designing rich web applications – and it's free!
Last, but certainly not least, is Fiddler which allows you to watch HTTP traffic, particularly useful in watching your XML-HTTP Requests.
Happy Coding!
Edit: Corrected the spelling in Brendan Eich's name

How to Grow Kohlrabi in Seaman, Ohio, United States of America
The word kohlrabi comes from German and it consists of two word – "kohl", which means cabbage in German, and "rube" which means turnip in German. That is why kohlrabi is also known as turnip cabbage or German cabbage. Kohlrabi originated in northern Europe, and is considered a "new" vegetable having been around for "only" 400-500 years and is one of the few vegetables to have originated in Northern Europe. Kohlrabi is part of the cabbage family, the Brassica oleracea genus. It has a turnip like appearance with an enlarged stem section growing just above the soil line. Due to this bulbous root like appearance kohlrabi is mis-classified as a root vegetable. Many people think that kohlrabi cannot be eaten raw – they are quite mistaken. Just take the kohlrabi, peel its hard outer layer and slice it into thin slices, pour over a little bit of olive oil, lemon and salt, and now tell me if it cannot be eaten raw! It goes very well in salads as well. Kohlrabi can be found in two colors, green or purple. The most common is the green kohlrabi with the white flesh. It contains protein, minerals and vitamins.
For more real-time hyper local detailed growing information download the GardenWeather App on IOS. It is now the leading gardening and weather app, more accurate than The USDA zone map for frost dates. GardenWeather™ is a technology and agri-tech startup providing real-time hyper local planting and gardening recommendations enabling home gardeners and homesteaders to make data-driven gardening decisions.
Use these images to know if your kohlrabi is heading in the right direction and growing properly. Exact number of growing days varies for each kohlrabi variety. Below is the average number of days for each stage gathered from many different varieties.
Kohlrabi Germination Guide
(Stage 1: Germination)
Germination is the process by which a plant grows from a seed. It is the first stage of the plant growing process and it begins when the seed is sown and ends when the radicale emerges out of the seed.
All seeds require proper soil temperature, moisture, air and light conditions to germinate successfully. However, during the germination stage the seeds require more soil warmth and moisture than light exposure.
Seeds respire just like any other living organism, requiring oxygen and producing carbon dioxide (CO2), so it is crucial to use a soil media that is sufficiently aerated so that the seeds do not "suffocate".
100% of our growing experts recommend to directly sow kohlrabi seeds into the ground. What is direct sowing and why do I care about it?

14.2 inches / 36 cm
Kohlrabi Growing Guide
(Stages 2-5: Growth)
Once seed has germinated and radicale has emerged the second stage of the plant growing process begins, developing from radicale to cotyledon -the embryonic first leaves of the seed forming a young seedling.
During the third stage of plant development cotyledon develops to 3-4 true leaves, stem begins to grow, becoming a mature seedling.
In the fourth stage the mature seedling develops to a young plant, ready for transplanting.
The fifth stage of plant development the plant is fully mature bearing fruit and/or flower.
The following guidelines apply to all of the kohlrabi plants' needs during stages 2-5 from radicale emergence to full maturity. During these stages sunlight becomes a more active participant in plant growth and development than in the germination phase.
Soil pH is an important factor during these stages as well. What is pH and why is it important?

How difficult is it to grow kohlrabi?
Growing kohlrabi, or any other vegetable for that matter, is not hard, however some plants require more attention and care than others depending on the following factors:
Are you starting to grow your plant from seed? seedling? young plant? Depending on what stage plant you choose to plant will impact growing difficulty and patience.
The length of the growing season for your exact garden location.
If you have a short growing season and you want to start growing from seed then you may need to start the growing process in a sheltered environment (greenhouse or inside your home) which will require more involvement in the growing process.
Whether you direct sow in the garden or start in trays and then transplant also affects the level of difficulty
Growing difficulty level - 0
Growing patience level - 0
Companion Planting Guide
What is companion planting?
