Getting little or no run support appears to be an issue that's not going away for the Pittsburgh Pirates' pitching staff, but no one's had it worse than Erik Bedard.
Bedard tries to avoid falling to 0-5 on Saturday night at Turner Field, where the Atlanta Braves have had little difficulty putting up big numbers during an impressive start.
The Pirates have plated 42 runs in 19 games - 19 fewer than the majors' next-lowest scoring team - so it's no surprise three of their starters rank among the NL's bottom 10 in run support.
Bedard (0-4, 2.63 ERA) is the lowest among that group at 0.75, as Pittsburgh (8-11) has scored a total of two runs when he's been in the game. It didn't provide any offense during the seven innings he completed Sunday, when he allowed three runs and struck out seven in a 5-1 loss to St. Louis.
"All you can do is battle,'' Bedard said. "Runs will come and right now they're just not coming. You keep doing what you can and put zeroes up there.''
The Pirates have been shut out twice, and they'd been held to one run six times heading into Atlanta for the opener of this four-game set Friday. The Braves (13-7) made it seven, limiting Pittsburgh to six singles while breaking the game open with four runs in the seventh en route to a 6-1 victory.
That ended the Pirates' major league-record 18-game stretch to open a season without scoring or allowing six runs in any contest.
Atlanta has won 13 of 16 since starting the season 0-4, including six of seven at home while putting up seven runs a game. Michael Bourn has been the catalyst in the leadoff spot, posting a .524 on-base percentage in the Braves' last nine contests.
To second baseman Dan Uggla, though, the offense isn't what's setting the tone.
"The biggest thing right now is our starting pitching,'' said Uggla, who had a two-run double in the seventh Friday. "If we've got a lead in the sixth or seventh inning, we'll always have a pretty good chance. We're getting some timely hitting, too, some good at-bats, picking each other up. That's the goal every day.''
After watching their first seven starters fail to make it more than five innings, the Braves have gotten a quality start in eight of their last 13 games.
That's a trend Randall Delgado (2-1, 5.74) will try to continue, though he's yet to make it through the sixth in his first three outings. He walked four, hit two and one of the three hits he allowed over 5 1-3 innings Sunday at Arizona was a grand slam in a 6-4 loss.
"I thought Randall showed everybody a lot (Sunday) about his mental makeup,'' Uggla said. "He had a few mistakes that one inning but that was all they got. He really came out, bounced back and battled and gave us a chance to win the ballgame.''
Delgado has never faced the Pirates, who are 7-2 when they score more than one run.
There's a good chance Delgado will be throwing to David Ross, and not Brian McCann, on Saturday. The six-time All-Star catcher left Friday's game with a strained muscle near his rib cage and is day to day.
Pittsburgh leadoff hitter Alex Presley, playing his first game at Turner Field on Friday, went 2 for 4 to extend his hitting streak to 11 games. Six of his 14 hits in that stretch haven't left the infield.

Voyeur : November 2008
MY BIGGEST CHALLENGE SUCCESS_ BILL GATES W HAVING SUCCEEDED IN HIS QUEST TO PUT A COMPUTER ON EVERY DESK AND IN EVERY HOME IN THE US, THE SOFTWARE KING NOW FACES LIFE POST-MICROSOFT. hen Bill Gates – arguably the most influential figure in the computer industry's history – announced his departure fromMicrosoft, pundits speculated it would be impossible for him to relinquish control of the multi-billion-dollar software empire he'd co-founded. While Gates remains the chairman of the board, is the number one shareholder and spends one day a week at 'headquarters', he officially ceased full-time work atMicrosoft on 27 June, vacating his office for current CEO Steve Ballmer. Granted, the transition was eight years in the making – he stepped down as CEO in 2000 and handed over to Ballmer, but remained as chairman until June 2006 when he finally announced he would leave Microsoft in 2008. But Gates has maintained he has no regrets about taking a back seat. "There's no reluctance here," he has said. "This is something that I've driven." It's surely a challenge to let go of your life's work, especially on a behemoth like Microsoft. "I'll miss doing the work," he has admitted, adding it will take a year or two to fall into a new rhythm. But the pragmatist has also said, "Part of the reasonMicrosoft has been so successful is because, normally, we don't look back." Gates, 53, might have removed himself fromthe day-to-day workings ofMicrosoft but he isn't exactly going into retirement. Having joked about "allowing" himself to play a bit more bridge, Gates ultimately plans to work to his usual "energetic, full-time schedule". In his ultra-organised style, Gates has allocated blocks of time to his three offices – one day a week at Microsoft; two days at the office of his charity, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; and two days at another, personal office, which will be a kind of billionaire-adult equivalent of his bedroom, where he'll have time to explore other ideas he has bubbling away. Meanwhile, Gates is acutely focused on the foundation, which strives to promote health and eradicate poverty in developing countries as well as promote high school education in the US. Having committed around US$16.75 billion (A$20 billion) in grants since its 1994 inception, 120 VIRGINBLUE and with a current endowment of US$35.9 billion (A$42.9 billion) waiting to be distributed to worthy causes, it's the world's richest philanthropic institution. But it's a far cry fromGates' former world. By his own admission, Gates' lifetime experience has so far been exclusive to software. "I'll never be hands- on on anything except software," he has said. Now, he's ventured fromthe virtual world into the real one, still tackling problems that affectmillions of people but this time, dealing with viruses that harmhumans, not PCs. Gates has no intention of hanging up his gloves to bask on a beach, post-Microsoft. On the contrary, he's set himself a whole new set of challenges, so great that if he threw his entire fortune into surmounting them, it wouldn't be enough. If he's to solve the global problems with which he's now grappling, Gates knows he's going to need help fromsome equally big guns. So he's set aside time to "do more arm-twisting of government, corporations and fellow billionaires to [persuade them to] domore for the world's poor." Now he spends his days "talking to drug companies, cell phone companies, banks and technology companies, as well as with other people who are lucky enough to have super-big fortunes, about [giving] those back to society". Gates may no longer be at the helmofMicrosoft, but it seems he's found an even greater calling. ? TEXT :: SARAH HOLLINGWORTH // PHOTOGRAPHY :: GETTY IMAGES

The scientist said that after death people rise in parallel worlds
American biologist Robert Lanza expressed in a rather unusual assumption about what happens to a person after the death of his physical body. According to the scientist, from the previously developed concept of biocentrism implies that energy is the essence of human nature, after death only releases and does not disappear from reality.
photo: pixabay.com
Robert Lanza in 2014 was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world, compiled by the magazine "TIME Magazine". He is known for stem cell research and testing of new methods for the treatment of blindness. However, along with the research, quite "fit" in the current scientific picture of the world, a scientist develops a very special theory, which he called biocentrism. In General terms, the concept biocentrically of the universe implies that biology is the Central and key to the understanding of the world of science, time and space are, first and foremost, a product of human perception. While familiar to us, the universe in accordance with the theory of the scientist, is only one of an infinite number parallel existing variations (a similar assumption, according to Lanza, it is possible to reconcile with modern notions of quantum physics).
The scientist says that human consciousness is a special energy that after death ceases to be confined to this world, and rushes to one of the parallel universes where it regains human form.
According to the scientist, in the other world people start a new life, not continue the old, but to treat it it offers like watching a good TV series — having watched any of them, the viewer misses some time for the heroes, but then finds a new episode, and begins to follow him. According to the scientist, his concept of constant rebirth in parallel worlds it is possible to imagine an infinite stack of CDs with all conceivable subjects.

Exfoliate your skin, it is key to having luminous and healthy skin. This is something we need to do more often as most of us simply go through our usual routine, ignoring this powerful component.
Each second, we are losing thousands of skin cells through moving even slightly. Given this information, it may seem like an odd idea to exfoliate, but really exfoliation is a tool used to help us get rid of dry and flaky skin so that we can reveal the beautiful fresh skin underneath.
This can also be a useful way to stop new blemishes from popping up and to keep pores open and clear.
Many people who suffer from blemishes or who have redness on their skin, tend to hate the idea of exfoliating as they believe it will only make the problem worse.
In fact, exfoliating works well to control these conditions as it prevents new blemishes from popping up and redness is generally unrelated. Even people who suffer from eczema need to exfoliate in order to get rid of the dry problematic skin.
As long as you don't exfoliate too often, it will not exacerbate any pre-existing conditions. Oily skin is more difficult to loosen than dry skin and should therefore be gently exfoliated more regularly. However, you should never exfoliate over broken skin or open wounds.
Dermatologists are well aware of your skin needs; after all it is their job to find out what works best. There are a number of products that have gentle exfoliators worked into the cream.
You can always try the manual approach with facial gloves that gently exfoliate but these can be quite harsh on facial skin and are best suited for the body.
The derriere can often get dry and needs to be exfoliated regularly. You can find appropriate gloves and pumice stones and use them in such a way that they become part of your bathroom decor.
Facial masks are also a wonderful treat for when you start to look ashy. The good news is you can get these masks for fairly decent prices if you are only going to use them once or twice.
These are easily applied and leave a wonderful, refreshing feeling on the skin. This is also a great way to calm down and treat yourself as they normally smell amazing.
If you are in need of serious exfoliation, you could always try the chemical option. People often overdo their exfoliating which leads to damaged skin. With a chemical exfoliation you can actually prevent this as it is controlled by professionals.
Most dermatologists will use beta hydroxyl for acne skin however you can also do this yourself in your own home. Cellex-C Betaplex can also be used at home in a controlled application and doesn't cost all that much.
Never exfoliate more than 4 times a week and always keep it gentle. If you can resist the urge to scrape off half of your face and use controlled exfoliation as a beauty and health tool, you will have incredible skin in no time.

You bought your Aurora because its reliability and long-lasting quality struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles these days. While it's not hard to find replacement parts for Oldsmobile vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to maintain your automobile. Car aficionados know that a variety of special features is built into each Oldsmobile, and understand that only the highest quality replacement Aurora parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing.
Your Oldsmobile Aurora has a liquid-cooled engine, and if there were a heart in that motor it would be the water pump. It rotates in-sync with the crankshaft via a belt that connects pulleys on each part. Along with the thermostat, coolant hoses, and radiator core, your Oldsmobile Aurora water pump dependably promulgates a mixture of water and coolant through the engine; keeping it operating at a manageable, pre-determined temperature. If it fails, then coolant will boil and your engine will be ruined.
Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Don't let a broken Water Pump bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the best replacement parts. Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make purchasing it easy. If your car or truck was built in 2003, 2002, 2001, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, then you will find the correct Oldsmobile Aurora Water Pump parts right here.

Best Places To Live
Call us gluttons for punishment (and angry letters from you), but this year, we dared to tackle the unthinkable—we've numerically ranked (virtually) every place there is to live in our county, from best to worst. Yes, this means there is indeed a Number 1—and it also means there is a Number 40. Read on, and see where your town fell in our rankings.

Hastings-on-Hudson's blend of artsy stores, hot restaurants, and quaint mom-and-pop shops make the village an appealing choice for many.

This rather artsy rivertown is right off the Saw Mill River Parkway, about a half-hour drive to Midtown with good schools and some terrific river views. And the combination of all that plus an un-gentrified but nevertheless charming downtown, a couple of "wow" restaurants, and an interesting array of living choices (houses at different price points, condos, co-ops, apartments, and affordable units) add up to one of Westchester's top places to put down roots.
Mamaroneck offers a thriving, bustling downtown in Westchester.

Mamaroneck bustles with energy along its main drag, with an array of restaurants and shops reflecting a diverse populace. (Indeed, the odds of someone of one race bumping into someone of another race in Mamaroneck is 50/50.) Check it out on a Thursday night—the town is jumping with music, outdoor dining, and shops open late for business. As for proximity to water, you couldn't get much closer, and there's plenty for everyone to do along the Long Island Sound shoreline, from the weekly farmers' market in the warmer months to opportunities to kayak and sail, and playgrounds and ball fields for youngsters.
Traffic moves smoothly during most hours in the downtown, thanks to many pedestrian-friendly crosswalks and a lack of traffic lights. Like Hastings, Mamaroneck offers a variety of housing, making it an attractive place to live for people of many different income levels—although property taxes are high: $22,738 per year on average.

This central Westchester village (it's virtually smack-dab in the middle of the county) couldn't have a more appropriate name. With the Jacob Burns Film Center (in its scant nine-year existence, it's become a Westchester institution that not only screens top-notch films but frequently hosts the actors and/or directors of those films for enlightening discussions), quaint shops, quality restaurants, and tree-lined streets along which children can safely walk to school (all kids walk—or are driven; there are no school buses here), the town lives up to its moniker. Shopping, nightlife, and the downtown are all admirable. And if you yearn for a lovingly restored Victorian with front porches to rock on and greet your neighbors, this is the place. Usonia, an enclave of low-slung cantilevered houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and other architects, shares a zip code with Pleasantville (but is outside the village proper). The town offers an easy commute to Midtown, with many residents living within walking distance of the Metro-North station, and is nestled almost equidistant between the shopping/dining areas of Central Avenue to the south and Mount Kisco's Main Street to the north.

Evaluation of pooled allelotyping versus individual genotyping for genome-wide association analysis of complex disease
UT-ORNL-KBRIN Bioinformatics Summit 2008
UT-ORNL-KBRIN Bioinformatics Summit 2008
Recent advances in genotyping techniques and genomic knowledge via the Hap Map and Human Genome projects allow for true Genome-Wide Association (GWA) analysis for common complex diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer's. A major obstacle in GWA analysis is the prohibitively high cost of genotyping the possibly thousands of individuals necessary to achieve statistical significance of results. One potential solution is to pool the DNA of case and control populations and to determine the genotype allele frequency differences in these populations by pooled allelotyping. While pooling can dramatically save time and money, it also adds sources of error. Our work has created a system process that allows for direct evaluation and comparison of pooled allelotyping to individual genotyping for GWA association analysis of complex disease.
Materials and methods
Complex disease penetrance functions were calculated for a 3 locus bi-allelic model with additive or multiplicative allelic spectrums using GenomeSIM software
Power analysis was conducted for individual genotyping and pooled allelotyping with allele frequency estimation error from levels from 1% to 5% (see Figure
Figure 1
Association analysis power curve for individual genotyping versus pooled allelotyping

Pooled allelotyping with 1% to 5% allele frequency estimation error: blue solid lines. Power is defined as the percent of simulations where disease associated loci had association test p-values more significant than (p-value < 0.05). Results are the average of 100 simulations at each of the relative risk levels listed on the X-axis.

|Shyloh Oostwald
|First Appearance
|Larger than Life
Daisy was the daughter of Jack, the patient in Larger than Life, and his wife Eva. She was portrayed by actress Shyloh Oostwald.
Daisy was with Jack when he jumped onto the subway tracks to save a woman who had fallen onto them. When his wife finally arrives at the hospital, she chastizes Jack for doing so because Daisy got so anxious because of the incident.
However, as the team struggles to diagnose Jack, House sees Daisy in Jack's room during school hours. He asks why she's out of school and when Eva says there is a disease at school, House realizes that although Daisy isn't sick, she carried varicella from her classmates to her father. It fooled them because he didn't develop the pustules that usually accompany the disease.

CONCORD, N.H. - Following Monday's Voters First Forum, Chairman Ray Buckley released the following statement:
"Here's what we learned tonight. Nothing new.
Republicans want to raise the retirement age and phase out Medicare. Democrats know that New Hampshire - and America - can't afford to go back on our promise to our seniors.
Republicans want to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which has helped thousands of Granite Staters afford health insurance. Democrats stand behind those new enrollees.
Republicans have left our workers behind. Democrats know those workers need a minimum wage increase.
Republicans don't want to move forward on stopping climate change. Democrats know that we must preserve our land for future generations.
Republicans want to get in the way of women's health care decisions. Democrats support women's health.
Republican policies will leave behind seniors, the middle class, the environment, and women. Democrats support them. End of story."

|Tommy was already a teenager and a career Ranger when he received the White Tiger power.
|Kou didn't have any powers before the KibaRanger powers, not even the DragonRanger powers.
|Tommy had Green Dragon powers before the White Tiger powers.
|Kou used the Kiba Changer to transform.
|Tommy used a golden Power Morpher with the Tigerzord power coin to transform.
|Kou was not the leader of the Dairangers.
|Tommy was promoted to leader when he became the White Ranger.
|Kou's powers were only seen in one season.

The hustle and variety of the Boulder County Farmers Market is intoxicating with so many varieties of fresh and locally produced foods and beverages, crafts and more crowd the aisles, just waiting to be taken home by market shoppers. Boulder's market takes place on Wednesdays and Saturdays in a beautiful location on 13th Street between Arapahoe and Canyon, next to Central Park in downtown Boulder. Shoppers can walk, ride a bike, take the bus or drive a car to the market.
It was in 1986 that a small group of areal farmers came together to create a formal Farmer's Market for the Boulder community. The City of Boulder granted the group its support by offering staff, meeting space, permits and a site for the market. Then in 1987 Boulder County Farmers' Market officially became a non-profit corporation, operated by local farmers. The market has contributed to a number of agricultural organizations like 4H, the County Fair, Cultiva! and others. The market also assists with various fundraising events.
Over the years the Boulder County Farmers' Market has become an icon of the community and a gathering place that feels like a little piece of the country in the middle of downtown. Boulder Creek runs nearby, fragrant herbs and roses fill the air, and the market is bursting with cut flowers, and fresh, locally grown produce, much of which is organic.
There are also select food vendors that now sell during market hours, providing breakfast and lunch fare for shoppers, as well as opportunities for farmers to sell directly to restaurant purveyors. You'll find wine, honey, baked goods and more from these special vendors. Don't miss the Boulder County Farmers' Market if you want to experience the heart and soul of the Boulder community.

Business model[edit]
The FRDC is one of fifteen Australian rural research and development corporations managing investment by the Australian Government and primary industries that during the past 25 years has been crucial to the doubling of the productivity of the agriculture, fisheries and forestry sectors.[2][3]
At its inception in 1992, the Corporation's major focus was on research concerning the management of commercial wild-catch fisheries and, to a lesser extent, aquaculture. Since then, the scope has widened greatly to encompass economic, environmental and social aspects of the entire fishing and aquaculture industry – that is, the recreational and indigenous customary sectors in addition to the commercial wild-catch and aquaculture sectors.[4] The Corporation's strategic investments in research, development and extension activities benefit all its stakeholders (listed below).[5] However, the FRDC is unique among the corporations in balancing its investment between natural resource management and industry productivity and development. Therefore, a significant proportion of funding is directed at research that has a public good benefit.[6]
In fulfilling its role of planning, investing in and managing fisheries research, development and extension (RD&E) activities in Australia, the FRDC provides leadership and coordination of the monitoring, evaluating and reporting on RD&E activities and facilitates the dissemination, extension and commercialisation of research results to end-users. The FRDC achieves this through coordinating investment by government and industry, and involving stakeholders to set and address RD&E priorities. The FRDC also monitors and evaluates the adoption of RD&E outputs to inform future decisions.[7]
Formed as a statutory corporation on 2 July 1991 under the provisions of the Primary Industries and Energy Research and Development Act 1989 (the PIERD Act), the FRDC is responsible to the Minister for Agriculture (Australia).
A Chairman and a board of directors govern the FRDC; the Executive Director leads the corporation's business activities on a day-to-day basis. The board oversees corporate governance, sets strategic direction and monitors the ongoing performance of the Corporation and the Executive Director. The board and the Executive Director are responsible for managing and evaluating the Corporation and its investments, and for reporting to government and the fishing and aquaculture industry. During 2012-13 the focus for the FRDC Board was on:
- implementing the National Framework for Primary Industries Research, Development and Extension
- developing strategic investment options to ensure delivery of outcomes against the FRDC RD&E Plan
- responding to findings of the Productivity Commission inquiry into the rural research and development corporations and the Rural Research and Development Council's National Strategic Investment Plan
- developing a plan to improve the perception of the fishing industry through making research results more publicly available and addressing factually incorrect media (and similar) reports.[8]
The FRDC supports a network of Fisheries Research Advisory Bodies (FRABs) covering Commonwealth fisheries and the fisheries and aquaculture of each state and the Northern Territory. The FRABs have an extremely important role in optimising the efficiency of the FRDC's planning and investment processes. The FRDC works to ensure a majority of open-call and Tactical Research Fund applications are submitted through, or reviewed by, the FRABs. The FRABs encompass sectors of the fishing industry, and fisheries managers and researchers; most also include environmental and other community interests.[9]
Revenue sources[edit]
The primary revenue for the FRDC comes from the Australian Government and the fishing and aquaculture industry, based on:
- the Australian Government providing unmatched funds equivalent to 0.5 per cent of the average gross value of Australian fisheries production (AGVP);
- fishers and aquaculturists providing contributions of at least 0.25 per cent of AGVP; and
- the Australian Government matching contributions by fishers and aquaculturists up to a maximum of 0.25 per cent of AGVP.[9]
The Corporation also manages significant contributions by stakeholders in FRDC-funded projects. The FRDC's strategic investments in RD&E activities benefit the three sectors of the fishing industry: commercial (wild catch and aquaculture), recreational and indigenous customary. The FRDC has a significant responsibility in ensuring, on behalf of the Australian Government, that research is undertaken to assist in the management of the fisheries and aquaculture resource for ongoing sustainability. A significant proportion of funding is therefore directed to research that has a public good benefit.[9]
Investment strategy[edit]
The FRDC invests in RD&E across the commercial fishing and aquaculture industry, and for the benefit of both recreational and indigenous customary fishers. The FRDC seeks to achieve maximum leverage from its investment by providing research administration and services using a value-adding model in which research projects are tailored to deliver a specific outcome and are actively managed and monitored. The FRDC commissions RD&E through a variety of flexible investment approaches, including an open call for project applications; formal partnership agreements with industry sectors; subprograms and coordination programs that are tailored to a specific industry sector or activity; short-term tactical research investment; and specifically targeted commissioned RD&E, especially where there is market failure by private investment. The focus for FRDC investment aligns with the following 14 themes, as outlined in the Corporation's 2010-2015 Strategic RD&E Plan.[10] The investment balance between themes, which may vary depending on strategic needs, is reported in each annual report.[11]
FRDC strategic research themes
1. Biosecurity and aquatic animal health
5. Governance and regulatory systems
10. Resilient and supportive communities
|People development
11. Leadership development
|Extension and adoption
14. Extension and adoption

Relationships with stakeholders[edit]
In developing projects addressing the Corporation's five programs, strategic directions are established in association with the FRDC's stakeholders, which are:
- the fishing and aquaculture industry
- the federal, state and territory governments (including their fisheries managers and other natural resource managers)
- research partners (including universities, fisheries research organisations, industry and private sector research providers, and investors)
- the people of Australia (on whose behalf aquatic natural resources are managed, and as consumers).[13]
The FRDC works with its partners to undertake program management effectively, to disseminate the results, and to assist with their adoption and, when appropriate, commercialisation.
Stakeholder research priorities[edit]
One of the primary challenges for the FRDC is to gain a solid understanding of the needs and priorities of its stakeholders, many of whom come from a diverse range of sectors and operations. There are many common, national issues, but each sector faces unique challenges and has specific RD&E needs, which vary greatly around Australia. In developing the National RD&E Strategy and the Corporation's RD&E Plan, the FRDC has consulted widely with a majority of these groups and has undertaken industry research to build on knowledge gained through consultation. To ensure a balanced portfolio, and to align with industry research priorities, the large majority of project applications are reviewed by the FRABs. Where possible, industry and fisheries management are directly engaged and integrated into the delivery of each project.[14]
Australian Government priorities[edit]
The federal Minister for Agriculture, the Parliamentary Secretary and the Department of Agriculture set priorities that the Corporation is required to address. In 2009 the Australian Primary Industries Ministerial Council[15] endorsed a "statement of intent" to implement a National Primary Industries Research, Development and Extension Framework through 14 primary industry sectors and 7 cross-industry sectors. Within the framework, each industry sector and cross-sectoral issue was to be assessed for its RD&E capacity.[16] As its contribution to the framework, the FRDC and its stakeholders developed a landmark document setting out future directions for fishing and aquaculture RD&E: the National Fishing and Aquaculture RD&E Strategy 2010.[17]
Consultation and collaboration[edit]
Australian Fisheries Management Forum[edit]
The Australian Fisheries Management Forum comprises the heads of the federal, state and territory government agencies responsible for management of fisheries, who discuss strategic issues relating to fisheries and aquaculture management. The FRDC works with the forum, sitting as an invited representative to meetings, providing advice and ensuring forum priorities are incorporated into the Corporation's RD&E planning processes.[14]
Representative organisations[edit]
Four representative organisations have been appointed under the PIERD Act, with which the FRDC consults and reports formally at their annual general meetings:
- Australian Recreational and Sport Fishing Industry Confederation Inc. (trading as Recfish Australia)[18]
- National Aquaculture Council Inc.[19]
- Commonwealth Fisheries Association Inc.[20]
- National Seafood Industry Alliance.[21][14]
Levy organisation: Australian Prawn Farmers Association[edit]
The FRDC administers a research and development levy on behalf of the Australian Prawn Farmers Association (APFA),[22] a levy organisation, which has a leading role with FRDC in ensuring its priorities are met. FRDC investments in prawn farming research and development is driven by the APFA's RD&E Plan. The two entities enjoy a very close working relationship. The APFA has nominated that the majority of its investment is to be through co-investment with the Australian Seafood CRC.[23]
Industry sector bodies[edit]
The FRDC also has a close relationship with the National Seafood Industry Alliance.[24] The Alliance represents the commercial fishing, pearling and aquaculture industries through state industry councils and peak sector associations to build on the partnerships established with individual industry sectors.[25]
The FRDC also invests in, and partners, entities such as Southern Rocklobster Ltd,[26] Australian Southern Bluefin Tuna Industry Association,[27] Tasmanian Salmonid Growers' Association,[28] Australian Pearl Producers Association, Australian Prawn Farmers' Association[29] and Australian Barramundi Farmers' Association.[30][25]
Other rural research and development corporations[edit]
The FRDC joins with other rural research and development corporations – at the project level and more broadly in functional areas – on a range of activities to enhance joint strategic outcomes. Most significant are climate change projects, evaluation of RD&E, and the "Appetite for Excellence" primary producers tour – a competition for chefs, waiters and restaurateurs. The FRDC is a member of the Council of Rural Research and Development Corporations, participating in meetings of R&D corporations' executive directors, business managers and communications managers. The FRDC also provides advice and services in project management and the FRDC-developed project management software, OmniFish.[25]
Industry development[edit]
The FRDC works with various entities to develop the fishing and aquaculture industry in such matters as market development; strengthening trade and market access; developing standards, e.g. for responsible fishing; standardising names for Australian fish; developing quality management systems; and reaching agreement on sustainability. To that end, in 2001 the Corporation and a now defunct peak body of the commercial sector incorporated a not-for-profit company, Seafood Services Australia Ltd, with the mission "to enhance the profitability, international competitiveness, sustainability and resilience of the Australian seafood industry".[31] Industry development activities suffered a setback in 2013, when the company ceased trading after "a significant reduction in the availability of funding".[32]
Australian Seafood Cooperative Research Centre[edit]
The FRDC initiated, and is a core participant in, the Australian Seafood Cooperative Research Centre.[33] The Centre's research program aims to increase the profitability and value of the Australian seafood industry, increase access to premium markets and increase demand for Australian seafood – priorities aligned with the FRDC's RD&E programs, in particular Program 2: Industry.[25]
Research partners[edit]
In any given year, the Corporation has under management about 300 active projects. Investment in research is the FRDC's core business. As a result, it is vital to the FRDC's success that it has excellent relationships with its research partners. The key research partners are:
- Department of Agriculture
- Australian Fisheries Management Authority
- state fisheries research centres
- Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation
- universities
- Cooperative Research Centres
- other rural research and development corporations and companies[34]
- industry groups
- co-investors from the private sector.[25]
The Australian fishing and aquaculture industry[edit]
The fishing and aquaculture industry is one of the most complex of Australia's primary industries in terms of both its structure and the natural resources on which it depends. Most of the industry's business environments are made more complex by their dependence on access to natural resources that are publicly managed in the interests of present and future generations. The Australian fishing industry comprises three main sectors:
- commercial sector, consisting of wild catch fishing, aquaculture and through-chain activities undertaken by seafood importers, processors, manufacturers, handlers and retailers
- recreational fishing, which includes the tackle, tour guides and charter sectors
- indigenous customary fishers.[35]
Legislatively, the "fishing industry" is defined in the FRDC Regulations 1991, issued under the PIERD Act 1989, as "any industry or activity carried on in or from Australia concerned with taking, culturing, processing, preserving, storing, transporting, marketing, or selling of fish or fish products".
The commercial sector comprises approximately 120 wild-catch fisheries and 70 aquaculture species. Commercial seafood and marine products (e.g., pearls) were valued at $2.2 billion in 2008–09. The recreational sector has 3.4 million participants, who were estimated in a 2001 survey to expend $1.9 billion annually on their fishing. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people participate in commercial and recreational fishing, as well practising customary fishing. The legal rights around indigenous customary fishing are being refined over time and some aspects are now part of existing legislation and court decisions. In 2009–10, 11,431 people were employed in the commercial fishing, hunting and trapping industry, with 7646 employed in the fishing, hunting and trapping sector and 3785 in aquaculture enterprises. Compared with 2008–09, total employment in the commercial fishing, hunting and trapping industry increased by 24 per cent (2208 people) following a 30 per cent increase (1931 people) in full-time employment and a 10 per cent (277 people) increase in people engaged in part-time employment in 2009–10. Demand for seafood is rising in Australia because of increasing affluence and increasing awareness of seafood's prominent role in a healthy diet. In Asian markets consumption is also increasing with the growth of the middle class, especially in China and India. This will place demands on the supply of the limited resource, leading to increases in price. Currently Australia's commercial seafood production only provides about 28 per cent of domestic demand. In part because of the rising value of the Australian dollar, the commercial sector is now re-orienting towards better serving the Australian market. Increasingly, value chains will encompass both domestic and imported product. Other factors, such as further improvements in fisheries management and better utilisation of catch, will also be important in meeting domestic demand.[36]

It is not only seafood for consumption that the Australian industry produces. Pearls are a high value consumer item that is produced at the highest level of quality through advanced technology and environmental credentials, making it one of Australia's most valuable and sustainable fishing sectors.

The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, citing a 2010 study by the Center for Automotive Research, notes that the U.S. auto industry is responsible for about 8 million jobs nationwide when you factor in jobs from other sectors that are dependent on the industry. This equals about 4.5% of private-sector employment. The Alliance also notes that more than 1.7 million people are engaged in designing, engineering, manufacturing and supplying parts and components for vehicles. With so many different types of jobs available, there are numerous career paths that deal with working on cars.
Creating and Programming
Automotive engineers use computer aided design software to develop prototypes of new systems and parts, including engines, transmissions and structural components. They oversee the construction, alteration and examination of updated parts and vehicles, and are responsible for calibrating vehicle systems such as the control algorithms. As technology continues to evolve, employers are increasingly seeking chemical, electrical and software engineers to work on automobiles with more advanced components. O*Net OnLine reports that automotive engineers earned a median annual income of $82,100 in 2013.
Assisting in Specialties
Automotive engineering technicians help experienced engineers decide the possibilities and limitations of certain designs. They're also responsible for maintaining the equipment used to test new prototypes. According to ONet, auto engineering techs made a median wage of $52,390 per year in 2013. Other technicians specialize in certain systems, such as the suspension, brakes or radiator. They modify, fix or replace pieces associated with their specialty, such as carburetor parts, mufflers or fuel injectors. ONet reports that automotive specialty technicians earned a median annual income of $36,710 in 2013.
Repairing Visible Pieces
Auto body repairers focus on vehicle frames and exterior components, not including glass. They straighten frames, repair surfaces, fill dents, refinish bodies and reupholster seats. According to ONet, automotive body and related repairers earned a median wage of $38,850 per year in 2013. Glass installers and repairers are in charge of fixing cracks and chips or replacing window glass and windshields. ONet reports that automotive glass installers and repairers earned a median annual income of $32,310 in 2013.
Detailing the Exterior
Transportation equipment painters who work on cars have two different specialties. Some work in auto body paint and repair shops, where they touch up paint jobs on old or damaged vehicles. Others are employed in manufacturing facilities to supervise modern cars as they undergo an automated painting process that includes corrosion baths, colored paint and clear gloss. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that transportation equipment painters were paid a median wage of $39,600 per year as of May 2012.

Hello dolls I had a mommy makeover on Feb 22nd. The mommy makeover consisted of a TT, lipo in the flank area, Breast augmentation 400cc and a lift by doctor Sergio Alvarez. My coordinator was Annabele my experience overall was great although the nurses/coordinator don't speak much to little English, doctor Alvarez speaks perfect English. He addressed all my concerns, thoroughly explained to me that I was going to have scars and the recovery time. After surgery I was in a lot of pain, that lasted 2 days and on the 3rd day I was able to get up and move around. I stated at Karla recovery house and between Maria and Karla they took really good care of me. I stated there for 4 days and went back to Tampa. I'm able to walk around my 3 story townhome without any help but I'm still taking it easy. I go back to the doctor in Miami on 3/1 to hopefully have my drains removed. All in all I'm quite pleased with what I can see so far. I would recommend Dr. Sergio Alvarez to anyone. I will take pictures once my drains are removed and I've had a good shower.!!!!

I month post op review and pics
I'm now one month post op and I'm posting pics. My tummy is still a bit numb and has more healing to do. I wear my surgery garment religiously. Matter of fact I feel weird if I do not. I took a 13 hour flight to London and kept it in the whole time. Overall I'm happy with the results thus far. However I'm going for round 2 and that is liposuction in my entire back and waistline. To me I can't tell my love handles were done actually done but now that I'm more knowledgeable and educated, I know exactly what to ask for!!! My surgery date is April 28th with Dr. Ortega.
Part 2 Liposuction
Due to me having to travel to Malaysia for work, I had to change my surgery date to May 5th and doctor Alverez will be performing the lipo on my full back and waistline. I'm fine with that since he did my tummy tuck and BA, besides he is a wonderful surgeon. Which me luck dolls!!!
