	Refugee Advice and Casework Service [Australia] Inc.
		Since 1988, RACS has been aiding those with a well-founded fear of persecution in their home countries to secure the legal protection to which they are entitled under the United Nations Convention on Refugees and under Australian law.
		In addition, RACS continues to accept meritorious cases in which the character of the work required falls outside the scope of its funding contracts with the government (such as visa cancellation review), and compelling matters that fall outside the capped government funding for community applications.
		RACS is hoping to develop a program to help reunite divided families (click here for more information).

	Research Apprenticeship Courses
		RACs should assist doctoral students in learning how to develop and conduct research by providing a structure that allows students to engage in research under the continuous supervision of a faculty member.

		Although the central focus of each RAC is on the research interests of the graduate students and their development as independent researchers, a balance must be struck between student and faculty interests.

	Research Apprenticeship Courses
		RACs are Departmental courses (Ed288) that students may enroll in more than once and may be required to do so by their Division.
		The goal of the RAC Ed288 seminars is to provide a structure that allows students to engage in research under the continuous supervision of a faculty member.
		While all students enrolled in a RAC must have 60 hours of faculty time over the course of the three quarters, faculty may occasionally meet with subsets of students to discuss specialized readings or work on student projects.

	AMA - E_dit
		RACS said that it did not have accurate figures on the BSTs affected, but the present situation arose from the need to address the problems of the “old” BST program, including lack of selection, unsuitable registrars, lengthy time in unaccredited service positions and excessive time for surgeons to complete their total training.
		RACS argued all BSTs had been told in 2000 about the requirement to secure an advanced training post in 2003, they could all have applied after two years of basic training and there was ample opportunity for BSTs to secure an advanced training position within four years.
		RACS suggested trainees had been encouraged to re-think their surgical careers, knowing that it was a highly competitive business, and had to take responsibility for their own lives rather than waiting for RACS to make decisions for them.

		RACs have existed since the 1950s but no new contracts have been entered into since the introduction of personal pensions in 1988.
		Instead where an annuity is paid from a RAC the payer has to deduct basic rate tax from the payment unless the pensioner has completed a form (R89) confirming that they are not liable to pay any tax.
		HMRC will not normally pursue any back-tax on RACs that has been underpaid under the old system unless, for example, there has been a deliberate attempt to defraud the Department by means of false statements.

	VEGA Small Launcher
		An important technical challenge is for the RACS to be able to provide the high thrust necessary for launcher roll control, yet provide very low minimum impulse bits to the AVUM for final payload pointing before separation.
		As with Ariane 5, the multi-role functions of VEGA's RACS are simply achieved by using a hydrazine bladder tank in blow-down mode, feeding clusters of thrusters mounted to the AVUM.
		To assure that VEGA RACS has the highest possible reliability at low cost, maximum use is made of existing hardware derived from the Ariane 5 ACS.

	REGIONAL ADVISORY COUNCILS: CONSULTATION PAPER
		The establishment of RACs under the reformed Common Fisheries Policy is intended to increase the participation of those affected by the CFP to get better and more regionally focused fisheries management.
		RACs will also be consulted on Commission or Member State proposals for emergency measures on the conservation and management of fish stocks, or protection of the marine ecosystem from fishing activities.
		It needs to both ensure that RACs operate according to an agreed set of principles, and be flexible enough to enable stakeholders to lead the development of an RAC in a way that is appropriate to local conditions.

	Providers Wary as Congress Expands RAC Contingency-Fee Auditors (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		RACs are the first Medicare auditors to be paid only when they identify errors — either underpayments or overpayments.
		She is concerned the future RACs won't know how to look for underpayments since that is a cutting-edge task.
		The pilot-program RACs had to go up a learning curve in identifying underpayments because that's not what they had experience with from the private sector.

		The RACS was based on the practices and principles of the Rochdale Pioneers (1844ff) and was an immediate success.
		The RACS was also closely linked with the Labour Party at local and regional levels and helped to promote the discussion of political issues and the analysis of socialist principles by organising conferences and meetings.
		Particular interest in the RACS Political Purposes Committee is due to the fact that Joseph Reeves, acting as Education Secretary from 1918 to 1938, was a pioneer of "Education for Social Change." This was a wide-ranging programme of working-class education promoting the adoption of a socialist approach to many issues.
