OUTLOOK cOnTenTS strong Jobs outlook for Australian resource sector Australia currently has the strongest economy of any developed western nation, defying the global trend and proving its resilience. 5 According to research undertaken by leading Resource Industry careers website, Mineblogger, cjD an rTO Australia can expect up to 60,000 new jobs across more than 30 oil and gas, and mining projects either underway or on the drawing board. The Minerals Council of Australia has also not changed its long-term forecast that another 80,000 people will be needed in the industry by 2020 in order to maintain Australia's market share of global production, with improvement in the job market expected as early as 2010. Up until the last quarter of 2008, 142,000 people in Australia's workforce were directly 8 employed in resources. This number was up by a massive 55,400 jobs over the last five years. Even with job losses across the industry now totalling some 12,000, these losses are coming WODOnga off the back of unprecedented growth and still don't have the industry back at its original qUarrieS employment levels of five years ago Australia's ranking improves in the World Competitiveness table The Australian Industry Group has announced that Australia is now ranked 15th out of 133 countries in the World Economic Forum's (WEF) 2009-10 Global Competitiveness Index rankings. Of the 12 "pillars" of the Global Competitiveness Index, Australia ranked fourth in financial market sophistication, up two positions. The efficiency of Australia's goods and labour markets 10 continued to provide the country with a significant competitive advantage, with a ranking of L50F WheeL ninth attained for each "pillar". LOaDer "According to the WEF's global competitiveness measure, Australia underperformed in the key areas of business sophistication (quality of business networks, processes and supply chains) with a ranking of 26; infrastructure (25); innovation (20); and technological readiness (20)," said Australian Industry Group Chief Executive Heather Ridout. "The findings set down a productivity challenge for Australia including the need to improve 'business sophistication' as we emerge from the downturn," she said. 16 The relatively poor ranking for infrastructure (down 4 positions from 21st in 2008-09) underlines the importance by state and federal government to increase investment in aLLWeST economic and social infrastructure. PLanT hire optimistic outlook returns to Australian Mining Results of this year's 'Mining and Construction Industry Survey' indicate the Australian mining industry is generally optimistic about the outlook for the remainder of 2009. Specialist media and conferencing group Aspermont Limited in conjunction with financier GE Capital Australia commissioned a study on the outlook for the Australian mining industry.

These are less likely to become airborne unless the product is damaged. Asbestos fences, roofs and asbestos cement (AC) sheeting are examples of non-friable asbestos products. A naturally occurring mineral, asbestos was mined in Australia until 1983 and During a bushfire, the amount of asbestos fibres released into the air is likely manufactured for use in walls, roofs, insulation, flooring underlay, eaves and some to be low. After a bushfire, fibres may become airborne when excavation and flues as well as a backing on some vinyl floor tiles.

The Volvo L50F delivers peak performance for increased productivity and profitability. Slotting into the mid-sized category of wheel loaders, the L50F has been developed to deliver a high power to weight ratio and versatile performance. machine for single operators, small business owners and companies requiring a powerful yet economic machine. Key features of the L50F include: • Separate power steering and load-sensing hydraulic pumps. The advantage of this is that separate pumps ensure full steering power is achieved, sensing pump automatically adjusts to match work demand. The result is ensure maximum traction even in difficult conditions and terrains. BIG Previously only available in Europe, the introduction of the L50F is set to fill a void in the mid-sized wheel loader class in Australia. It's an ideal regardless of the load on the main hydraulic pumps. Oil flow on the load- lower fuel consumption during lighter work – along with no compromise in performance when operating in tough conditions or demanding applications. • Differential locks which offer 100 per cent lock in the front and rear axles to It's all about the operator Operator comfort has been highlighted as a key factor in achieving high machine productivity, and the Volvo Care Cab fitted to the L50F helps keep operators in the peak of comfort all day long. Each cab is based on fully viscous mounts for reduced noise and vibration. Operators can breathe easy when working in dusty conditions due to the best-in- class cab filtration system. The interior of each cab is designed with fatigue-resisting ergonomic comfort, ensuring that the steering wheel, steering column, seat, armrest and levers can all be adjusted to perfectly suit individual operators. Controls and front-pillar mounted switches are all within easy reach and easy view. • A Tier 3 certified low emission water cooled turbo charged Volvo D5 4.8 litre diesel engine, which achieves high torque at low engine speeds.

Three key story lines to watch
Postseason atmosphere. Officially, both teams have four more games, but so much is at stake for the Jets and the Patriots that it will feel like a playoff game. A Jets victory means a likely No. 1 playoff seed, while a Pats win gives them a chance at one.
Strategic moves. Analysts and observers think the Patriots traded big-play Randy Moss, acquired steady and cerebral Deion Branch and re-worked their offense to be more balanced and deal with the Jets' aggressive defense. Will it work in its first opportunity?
Focused Jets? The Jets have shown flashes of playing for an entire 60-minute stretch, but they've shown just as many glimpses of sleepwalking. They've been able to pull out late wins over Denver, Detroit, and others, anyway. That won't work this time.
Three key Patriots
WR Deion Branch. The pandemonium over the Moss trade subsided when Branch arrived from Seattle, and he's quickly proven to feature only some of the more positive Moss-like traits. Smart enough to adjust and play in sync with Tom Brady, Branch will need a transcendent game if the Jets assign All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis to Welker.
ILB Jerod Mayo. In the Sept. 19 loss to the Jets, the Patriots' nickel defense struggled to stop the run and LaDainian Tomlinson ran wild with 11 carries for 76 yards. When the Patriots use their sub-packages Monday night, Mayo must be a one-man run-stuffer. The sideline-to-sideline player leads the NFL in tackles.
TE Aaron Hernandez. The Patriots' hybrid rookie, who catches passes like a wide receiver, is their best weapon to attack the middle of the field. Cornerbacks Revis and Antonio Cromartie might shut down the wide receivers, but if Hernandez can get loose and gain close to the 101 yards receiving like he did in Week 2 vs. the Jets, it will open up the entire offense.
Three key Jets
QB Mark Sanchez. For all the success Sanchez has had this season, his 124.3 passer rating against the Patriots was his best. Can he play similarly under control this time or will he more closely resemble the player who had four interceptions at Gillette Stadium last year. He can thrive in the hurry-up, but what about for 60 minutes?
CB Drew Coleman. His chance at covering Wes Welker last year was an epic failure, as Welker exploded for 15 catches for a whopping 192 yards. Will the nickel cornerback dare try it again, especially with Welker beginning to look like his old self? If so, Coleman better be prepared for a frantic, stressful day all over the field.
WR Brad Smith. Most of the Jets' weapons are well-ingrained in the Patriots' minds. Not Smith. The wide receiver/kick returner/Wildcat quarterback -- who returned a kickoff 89 yards for a TD vs. the Bengals last week while wearing one shoe -- could exploit the Patriots' beleaguered coverage unit that has struggled with new kicker Shayne Graham's short kickoffs.
Bottom line
The Week 2 loss at the New Meadowlands was jarring for the Patriots and uplifting for the Jets. It seems like each team has changed so much from that night. Gang Green had Sanchez just finding his swagger and Tomlinson beginning his rebirth. Adding receiver Santonio Holmes only helps an offense that has been explosive late in games. The Patriots young defense has given up yards, but also picked off passes, while the offense has thrived without Moss. The X-factor is the Patriots are at home, allowing Brady to make the pre-snap changes one needs to make against the Jets' overload-happy front. Don't be surprised if Brady continues his run of efficiency, while coach Bill Belichick's tricky looks fool Sanchez into at least one interception. Prediction: Patriots 24, Jets 20.

Soaps Boards :: Guiding Light Forum :: Ashley & the Jonathan,Tammy,Lizzie trio
Please register and login to be able to post in this message board.
I dont care for how they are writing the script for the way Johnathn Tammy an Lizzie (mostly Jonathan an Lizzie) use Ashley for their benifit because shes inlove with jonathan they are people out there like the Ashley character i wish they would write a main storyline for Ashley that dont include her being used like they are doing in the few scenes shes been in i wish they would find her a love interest an make the storyline last to let the ones that are like Ashley see that they are breaks in this world for them (not all get good breaks in life mostly made fun of an used) that love comes their way to not to just the beautiful skinny people i appauld the actrees thats playing the part of Ashley this is only my opinion
Yesterday as I was watching, I kinda felt sorry for Ashley myself. I just hope she doesn't go crazy since Jonathan and tammy are engaged, but it's possible that the writers will give her a break sooner or later and it's even possible that Jonathan will get jealous behind her when she's not worrying about him anymore and as for lizzie as you can see, she has a lot coming her way (Alan)
I know i felt sorry for her to im like you i hope she dont go all crazy since she knows Jonathan an Tammy are engaged now i do hope that they will write her (Ashley) in as a regular let her fit in with the crowd an give her a love interest an make it last you very seldom see that happen for some one like the role that she is playing.
I agree!! Stop using her and just let her be a friend. I think the character is kind of cute and funny in her own way. Just don't make her go off the deep end, there are enough crazies on the show with the Spaudldings and Dinah.
Your right she is cute an funny in her own way! i think she is pretty, i hope we see more of her! i agree with you they are enough crazies on the show already with all the spauldings an oh yes dinah! LOL
I totally love the character of Ashley, I think she is such a hoot! She sure didn't inherit her funniness from her mother, DA Doris Wolfe. Doris needs to lighten up a bit.And now Doris and Alan scheming together,Holy Crap ) I think a good storyline would be Ashley and Lizzie teaming up to keep Jonathan and Tammy from getting married. I kinda like Lizzie & Jonathan together . I think Tammy is a little boring, like her mother,Cassie.
LOL ur so right she didnt get it from her mom shes nothing like her mother
I really think her day is coming, because they're trying to allow her more participation. I think in upcoming episodes we'll see things change for her in surprising ways.
I am having trouble posting I am off the subject but does anyone know if Jonathan(Tom Pelphrey) is leaving the show because in Soap Opera Digest it said under a small photo the Ex Jonathan. I met him in the lobby twice where Guiding Light is taped and he very nice. I hope he isn't leaving. Thanks

Partner Violence: What Can You Do?
Until the mid-1970's, no one talked much about abuse between adult partners. We were taught to think that criminal violence occurred on the streets or in bars. Home was thought to be a safe place.
Now we know that violence in the home is very frequent. More than 4 million American women a year are physically attacked by their male partners; violence can also happen in same sex relationships, and some men are beaten in heterosexual relationships, although what is most common is that women are battered by men. Some of these assaults are severe. From 1990 through 1994 the deaths of nearly 11,000 people age 18 and over resulted from one partner killing another, with women almost twice as likely to be victims of such fatal partner violence as men. Violence between partners happens in all groups in society. No group is immune. If your intimate partner has beaten you, you are not alone.
Violence in a relationship is never okay and never justified. A "little slap" is violence. So is pushing, shoving, throwing things, threatening violence, or forcing a partner to engage in sexual activities against her or his will. All of these things, along with punching, kicking, biting choking, burning, and injury with weapons have happened to victims of partner violence. If violence or a threat of violence of any kind has happened more than once or twice, it is extremely likely to happen again. It may get more frequent or more severe. If this describes you and your relationship, you are at risk.
Very often abusers will tell victims that they are overreacting and causing the batterer to become violent. You are not overreacting or causing the violence. It is normal to feel frightened and angry when your spouse or partner is violent with you. Your reactions to earlier abuse are no excuse for someone to be violent toward you.
This is a common question that people ask about victims and victims ask of themselves. It is almost always more complicated than just leaving. Sometimes the batterer will not allow you to leave and may threaten to kill you or other family members if you do. These are not always idle threats. Research tells us that women are more likely to be killed by their battering mates at the time these women try to leave. You may be afraid to be alone and on your own. You may worry about how to support yourself and your children without the batterer. You may blame yourself, wrongly, for causing the violence and feel ashamed and afraid of exposing yourself. It may be against your religious or other beliefs to end a marriage or committed relationship. It's important for you to get help in learning how to resolve these issues for yourself.
If you are the victim of violence:
Begin to think about how you can plan for your own safety and happiness. Waiting for abusers to change and trying harder to please them will not work. Find out what resources are available in your area for victims of partner abuse. At a safe time, when the abuser is not around, call a local battered women's shelter or domestic violence hotline. Tell them what has happened; ask them what your choices are to protect yourself and to end the violence. Think about the answers to your questions and call again if you need to know more.
If you are considering leaving your abuser, make safety plans before you talk about separation. Discuss the abuser?s pattern of violence with someone at a shelter or crisis line and think about what risks there might be if you talk about leaving. Try to keep enough money in a protected place to use when you need it to get to safety. Some victims find it best to go to a shelter where they can be safe before they tell the abuser that they are leaving.
If you can do this safely, encourage the abuser to go to a group for batterers. There are now many such groups for men who batter their partners. Some large cities also have groups for gay men and lesbians who batter their partners and for people from particular ethnic or religious groups. In such a group, batterers can get help from experts specially trained to treat violent people and may learn to change their beliefs and behaviors. You may still need to live apart from the batterer while that person is in the group. Changing patterns of violence can take a long time. (Call the Domestic Abuse Hotline for information on groups in your area).
If you think you are in immediate danger, you probably are. You are an expert at sensing when things are getting really bad. Flee at once to a safe location or call the police if you can. When police arrive, ask what legal protections are available to you, and use whatever you need to be sure you are safe. Don't let the police leave you alone with the abuser once they've arrived. If you are hurt, ask for medical help. Be sure that the doctor or nurse makes a record of your injuries and notes that those injuries were the result of an assault, not falling down stairs or bumping into a door.
If you are an abuser:
Get help to end your violent behavior. Hurting the people you love will cost you their trust and respect and your own self-respect as well. You may lose your loved ones permanently. No one likes to be violent or to get hurt.
Realize that you can change. Others have gone through this and found ways to stop their patterns of violence. Their lives and relationships with those they love have gotten better. Call a state or local domestic violence hotline (you don't have to give your name to get information) and ask for referrals to a batterer's group or to expert therapists in your area. Be honest with the people running the group or with an individual therapist about your history of violence. Tell the leader or therapist that your violent behaviors are the ones you want to change. Don't wait until a judge requires you to go to treatment.
If you are a friend or a family member:
You can do something. Encourage the victim to get to safety and help keep that person safe. Confront the abuser if you can do it safely (you may want to have someone else with you when you do this). Don't accept excuses for violence from people you love.
Call the National Domestic Abuse Hotline or a local hotline and gather information about local resources and support services. Advise the victim about her options and assistance available to her and her children.
Call the police if the victim cannot. Sometimes this can help stop or reduce the violence.

All faculty in the department share a common interest in genetic processes, and students benefit from the resulting high degree of interaction and cooperation among laboratories. In addition, the Biology Department is only a five minute walk from the Medical Center, which is home to the Departments of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Microbiology and Immunology, Neurobiology and Anatomy, Physiology, the Cancer Center, and the Center for Aging and Developmental Biology. The physical closeness of these groups facilitates intellectual exchange and collaboration among the graduate programs of the basic and biomedical disciplines.
Each student rotates in three laboratories in the first year, at the end of which he/she chooses a faculty advisor by mutual agreement. Students also take 5-6 courses over their first two years, selected according to background and research interests, and serve as a teaching assistant for two semesters in order to gain teaching experience. Qualifying examinations are normally taken at the end of the second year. After passing the qualifying examination, students form a thesis committee to help guide them in their research. Completion of the Ph.D. usually takes 5-6 years. Financial support, health benefits, and tuition scholarships are provided to all Ph.D. students in good standing.
Communication and interaction are essential parts of being a scientist, and students benefit from multiple opportunities to attend seminars by distinguished outside speakers, participate in formal and informal journal clubs and discussion groups, and present their research to their peers.
The department also awards a Master of Science degree. The M.S. degree is usually offered under Plan B (dissertation not required). The department does not offer financial support to master's students. Students may apply for financial aid through the University Financial Aid Office. 30 graduate credits and a written comprehensive exam are required for the master's. Courses are chosen according to the student's interests.

This burger was like a taste of heaven. The first burger in a good year that I did not want the burger to end. Each bite was better than the bite before. Blows all other burgers in the city away. Also the milkshake was perfect not to sweet just the right taste of vanilla and perfectly thick, Guaranteed you won't be dissapointed

Well, that just about sums it up. Their burgers are quite good, and the menu is interesting. The problem is, they can't seem to get a delivery order right. I've gotten completely wrong things delivered--it's a good thing I'm not allergic to anything! They even get it wrong in-store if you get takeout. If you are particular about your food, don't do business with them.

I have ordered from this place several times and their burgers are delicious! Their food is very fresh and you can tell that the meat is of very high quality. They have a great varierty of burgers and every one of them that I tried is very very tasty.

On their first attempt Burger Creations forgot an order of fries. That's fine, and the guy on the phone was nice enough, but then they called to make sure and were pretty incredulous. Then the delivery guy who re-delivered the fries also gave us the third degree. You'd think we were trying to steal a whole free meal or something. Yeah guys, I tipped the delivery guy 10 bucks as part of my master plan to beat you out of two bucks worth of fries. In other news, one of the burgers had a soggy lower bun -- it had obviously sat too long. Overall the food wasn't bad and the prices are fair. I might give them a chance in-store, but no way will I have them deliver again.

These people got nothing right on a delivery. They messed up they address three times ! Burger was not what was ordered. It was packaged in such a way that the bag my shake was in was soggy; the cup broke ope n and spilled everywhere. A mess !

I ordered a mini burger and right now don't remember the price but it was not much bigger than a silver dollar. I expected something special and it wasn't...tasted like something I'd make myself. It was about 3 bites worth. Not bad...but way overpriced.
Posted by anonymous on 05/05/2009
The meat they use for the burgers is very good quality. However, the past 4 times I asked for a medium rare burger and it comes out med well to well done. This is ridiculous! I wish their fries were better too. If they are a burger and fry joint the fries should be awesome. They're just OK - with a flavor coating on them. Not my style.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Chicaco Bears running back and former Texas star Cedric Benson was arrested in Austin early this morning on
drunken-driving charges.
Austin police say they pulled over the 25-year-old after he ran
a red light downtown. Authorities say Benson failed a field
sobriety test and was charged with driving while intoxicated.
It's the second alcohol-related arrest for Benson in just over a
In May, Benson was charged with boating while intoxicated and
resisting arrest. He's said that neither of those charges are true.
In Chicago today, Bears general manager Jerry Angelo says
"disappointment" is a word the team has had to use too often in
connection with their former first-round pick of the 2005 draft.
