The transport industry has won support for its campaign to stop a federal law that would raise pay rates for truck drivers amid Coalition accusations that it is a pay rise presented as a safety measure.
The federal Coalition stepped up its objections to the plan yesterday as a parliamentary inquiry prepared to weigh industry arguments against mandated "safe rates" for drivers.
Transport Minister
Last night, he stood by the reforms and said the cost to the economy from road accidents was considerable. "These reforms are common sense and overdue," he said.
"The link between exploitation and safety outcomes for drivers has been well established through independent research, and groups such as the Australian Livestock Association and Linfox support the changes."
Transport companies and industry groups have warned that costs, reaching hundreds of millions of dollars, would have to be passed on to consumers.
The Road Safety Remuneration Bill would establish a tribunal to determine rates for truck drivers, which include those for the long waiting times they are not usually paid for at ports and container depots.
In a move backed by the Transport Workers Union, the government is arguing the bill would ease pressure on drivers to speed, overload vehicles and take drugs to complete work.
Liberal MPs spoke out against the changes in yesterday's joint party- room meeting in Canberra.
Mary Jo Fisher and
Senator Fisher told the meeting that the government was using road safety as a "camouflage" for a workplace change and warned that the tribunal might be able to override Fair Work Australia.
The Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal would take some of its members from Fair Work Australia.
The concerns prompted a vow from Opposition Leader
"Tony Abbott said we would never support wage fixing dressed up as safety legislation," a Coalition spokesman said yesterday after the party meeting.
While Linfox backs the changes, they are being questioned by Toll Holdings, the Australian Logistics Council and associations representing independent contractors.
The government's regulation impact statement, attached to the bill, estimated it would impose $228.4 million in compliance costs on the industry. "The additional costs associated with increased remuneration exceed the additional road safety benefits expected," the RIS concluded.

Why Surprised? - Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)
After democracy slash capitalism
has installed aided dictatorship
in foreign focus interest country
after dictator has turned upon
brutally suppressed own people...
why are you surprised puppet dictator
suddenly turns upon bites hand that fed?
Is this not the nature of true megalomaniac?
Distempered dictator dislikes taking orders.
Your psychopathological puppets condition
characterized by delusional fantasies wealth
power omnipotence tortures kills opposition.
Consider your puppets obsession with grandiose
trinkets extravagant distractions actions ruthless.
Did history not warn with enough dark parallels?
The word megalomania derived from the Greek
words megalo meaning large and mania meaning
madness frenzy; were these not warnings enough?

Tim Cestnick is president of WaterStreet Family Offices, and author of several tax and personal finance books. email@example.com
From the time our kids were small, Carolyn and I have been talking to them about three key priorities for their money: saving it, sharing it, spending it.
The spending part comes easily for most people. Even saving it, although a little more challenging, is something many people can do. Sharing it – that is, giving some of it away – is another matter.
I liken the habit of being charitable to stepping into a hot bath. It may be too hot to be comfortable at first. But if you dip your toe in just a little, then step in a little more, you get used to it. In fact, you start to enjoy it after a short while.
I also suggest that there's a difference between charitable giving, and strategic philanthropy. A big difference.
Charitable giving is what you do when someone comes unexpectedly knocking at your door asking for donations and you donate a few dollars because you don't want to be a bad neighbour, or because you genuinely want to help. Don't get me wrong, a certain amount of this type of giving is just fine.
Strategic philanthropy, on the other hand, is taking a longer term approach to giving, and results in much more meaningful gifts. Meaningful for both you and the charity.
This type of giving involves spending time thinking about what's important to you and your family, searching out charities that align with your values, deciding how much you'd like to give over the next two or three years, deciding how much and how you might give at the time of your death, possibly discussing your plans with the charities you've chosen and carefully considering the most effective way to give from a tax perspective.
I have a question for you: Why do you give?
Some people, for example, are "communitarians" and give simply because doing good makes sense to them. Then there are "the devout" who give because they believe it's God's will. Others are "investors" and give because it's good for their business. There are also "socialites" who give because it's fun. "Repayers" give because they're doing good in return for what they have received. There are also "altruists" who give because it feels right. Finally, there are "dynasts" who give because it's a family tradition. (Thanks to Russ Alan Prince of Prince & Associates for his thinking on these "faces of philanthropy.")
Assessing your motivation to give is smart, because it can help you to better design your giving.
If you're an "investor," for example, I expect you'll value giving today more than at death. If you're a "dynast" you may be best served by using a private or public foundation (such as the Aqueduct Foundation, or a community or similar foundation) to make your gifts. "Socialites" often want to give in a manner that provides recognition, which can dictate how much they give and when. You get the picture.
What about the tax motivation to give? The fact is, for every dollar you give to charity, you'll still be out of pocket some amount, and so you should have charitable intentions.
Now, I realize that there are some donation schemes out there that propose to provide you with much more cash in return than the value you have donated. Almost all of those schemes should be looked at with skepticism; you should know that the taxman doesn't look at most of these very favourably, which creates tax risk that many are keen to avoid. There are, of course, ways to give that are more tax efficient, which can make good sense. This is a topic for another day.
An interesting thing about giving is that it's contagious. When we see others give, or hear stories of generosity, it often leads to generosity. If you're looking for a little inspiration by hearing or reading the stories of others, make a visit to ilikegiving.com – the video I Like Car is my favourite.
It's also worthwhile looking at chimp.net, a great resource site where you can give to any registered charity online, track your giving history, raise money with others for a cause, set a giving budget and timetable, search and research any charity in Canada, among other things.
In the next two weeks take the time to ask yourself whether you're engaged in charitable giving or strategic philanthropy. Assess what face of philanthropy fits you best, and make a commitment to giving back before the end of the year – for the tax breaks, but more importantly because it aligns with your values.Report Typo/Error

Comments about Fender Blues DeVille 410 Reissue Guitar Amp:
This is my favorite amp! The tonal quality is second to none plug a Stratocaster into this thing and youll know what I mean. It gets loud! The reverb is amazing. You can gig anywhere with this amp. It will deliver the patented clean Fender tone, but you can stomp in the overdrive and really get this amp to scream. It looks great and commands attention with its stunning looks. This is a must own for any tone chasers out there!

OK, this is the end to all of the repeated questions that this forum gets clogged with because new users are too lazy to search the forums or experiment a little.
So, Back|Track is the latest (and soon to be greatest when it's finished!) linux liveCD distribution. A linux liveCD is a special type of linux that runs directly from the CD. First you need to download the ISO file from the website. This is a direct, byte by byte copy of the CD. You will then have to burn this ISO file to a CD as an 'image'. You will need some CD burning software that supports the burning of images (Nero e.g.)
Once you have correctly burnt the ISO image to the CD, you can now put it into a machine and reboot it. Assuming that the BIOS boots off of the CD drive before the Hard Drive (HDD), it will start booting into Back|Track Linux! Great!
So Linux is booting! Now what? You wait until a screen like the following appears:
:: Backtrack 3.0 :: :: Beta Edition::
login: root
password: toor
*** When finished, hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and
wait until the computer reboots ***
slax login:_
Now this is important! Read the f**king screen! To login you must enter the username of root and the password of toor. Simple really. You read the screen and you got your answer.
So what next. You could simply use the linux liveCD from the shell, the 'command prompt thingy' that you have access to right now. Try typing some basic linux commands and see that you have a full linux operating system (OS) at your disposal. I know of penetration testers that only use the shell prompt, but for most that is not enough. Next you want to start the KDE desktop.
Type the following:
Which should result in the following:
Trying to autoconfigure Xwindow system, please wait...
creating /etc/X11/xorg.conf...
all done. Run startx now.
Great, you've now configured your Xwindows system for your display.
Now Back|Track starts KDE. The full desktop environment.
You could also start fluxbox by typing:
That is for another time, tip: right click!
So you entered startx and you started the KDE desktop. You are now presented with a desktop with the normal options, the 'K' menu button (bottom left) and other shortcuts on the taskbar. Explore! Click on things and have a look around. This is probably the best thing you can do right now, explore. Don't be afraid of breaking the OS as it runs off of a CD, it's read only! You cannot write to the CD, therefore you cannot change or break anything on it.
Now you are going to need to start your network interfaces. That depends on what kind of network cards you have. Lets start with wired ethernet cards. If you have a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server that automatically assigns network addresses (Internet Protocol (IP) addresses) this is easy. You need to start the DHCP client:
This will start DHCP discovery on all cards that support it. To run dhcp on only a specified interface, in this case the first ethernet card (eth0):
dhcpcd eth0
Now type:
You should get the interface details of all active cards, including your local loopback card (google it!)
In fact, on that subject, Google is your friend. Remember that scene in 'The Matrix' when Neo and Trinity rescue Morpheus? Neo asks Trinity if she can fly a helicopter, she flickers her eyes for a few seconds and says "I can now". That is what google is to you. If you do not know something, google it. For anything specific to Back|Track, Auditor or Whax then you should search this forum. It is full of knowledgeable people who are willing to help anyone who has shown the effort to try and learn things for themselves.
Now comes the section that will save this forum from complete collapse!
Configuring your Back|Track.
So you've seen the screenshot on the website and you're wondering what the system monitor program is? Bring up a bash prompt, the second icon on the taskbar that looks like a command prompt, and type:
This starts a system monitor. You can move it around the screen so it suits you, but remember that the CD is read only, what changes you make during your session are only active for that session. When you restart, you will need to start the program again.
What next? Another cool little tool is yakuake. What the f**k is that I hear you ask? It is a little tool that gives you quick access to the bash prompt. From a bash prompt type:
Now press F12 to open and close a drop down bash prompt.
As for the 'security tools' that appear on this distribution, that is beyond this thread. This is to stop the unending questions about the basics of the distro.

I will say from the outset that I am an admirer of Australia's best female tennis player, Samantha Stosur.
Aside from wanting her arms, and an ounce of her athleticism, I find her to be a great ambassador for her sport in a country where the habit of producing good female tennis players pretty much died with the retirement of Evonne Cawley.
Stosur has all the shots and is obviously supremely fit. Consistently ranked in the top 10, she lines up against women almost a head taller than her every week of the year and manages to beat most of them, most of the time.
Something happens to Sam Stosur, though, when she comes home.
Her confidence deserts her, shoulders slump in the early rounds of minor tournaments and Australian tennis fans shake their heads and wonder how Stosur has hit the Aussie wall again.
In pre-match media conferences, Stosur makes all the right noises. She says she can't wait to play at home again, that this year she has worked really hard on overcoming the home hoodoo and that, really, she feels no pressure any more than anyone else when they come here to play.
In post-match media conferences (after losing in an early round), eye contact is denied the querying media pack and the best Australian tennis female player of the modern era looks like a beaten schoolgirl, a far cry from the consummate professional she is on the international circuit.
Stosur becomes a serious head case when she plays in Australia. Unlike Lleyton Hewitt, Pat Cash or Pat Rafter, there is no hint that she has any idea how to utilise the loud, cheering crowds of the Australian summer circuit.
When she walks on to a court here, your heart races as fast as hers does. There is no sense of confidence, no feeling of a home-court advantage. Rather, there are slumped shoulders, poor shots and white towels.
Once again in 2013, Stosur has not failed us in her early capitulation. She bowed out in the first round of Brisbane this week and now heads to Sydney with the same sense of nervousness as she did last year, and the year before.
She knows she has done all of the physical work. She couldn't be any fitter if she tried. So what the hell goes on in this young woman's head when she plays in front of her countrymen? We have seen signs of mental weakness in several major tournaments outside Australia. The French Open was within her grasp in 2010 when she was beaten by a player of less ability in Francesca Schiavone.
In Australia, Serena Williams has more success in using crowd support than Stosur. Williams laps up the limelight, loves being the hot favourite for a tournament and relishes the chance to dismantle her opposition on courts she has virtually claimed as her own over more than a decade.
One of our greatest female athletes, Olympic gold medallist, Susie O'Neill, says being able to perform in front of a home crowd is a lot harder than it looks. O'Neill shocked Australia, and herself, when she failed to win a gold medal in her pet 200m butterfly in Sydney, 2000.
Her gold medal, and atonement, came in the 200m freestyle, which she wasn't expected to win. O'Neill believes to this day that she simply did not handle the pressure from her home crowd in that butterfly final. Her mental grit kicked in for the freestyle and she now looks back on Sydney with a huge sense of relief, rather than triumph.
In London, too, Britain's swimmers were found wanting, succumbing again and again to the pressure of performing in front of a rabid London crowd.
Elite athletes are now surrounded by more than a handful of "experts", whose job it is to look after the mental and physical supremacy of their charges. Stosur's physical team is doing its job. It is her mental preparation that is obviously wanting.
British champion Andy Murray hired Ivan Lendl to look after his head after many years of failing to win grand slams. Murray's monkey is off his back because the pair changed the processes which saw Murray "choke" in big matches.
Stosur needs a Lendl in her corner, someone who can help relieve her of the pressure she places on herself when she comes home to play.
Truly great athletes are great because their heads work as well as their bodies. Sam Stosur stands on the brink of greatness but each time it has invited her in, she has turned her back on it. We will see in Melbourne if the time has come and the head is right. Somehow, I'm not convinced she is ready to accept the invite just yet.

Dear Leland:
The statements in RQ #29 re the sales departments taking over seem to be true, and the situation has been worrying us writers for some time. Also, some of the big bookstore chains require that MSS be sent to them by publishers, and the stores decide whom they're going to push. Just who in the stores decides I don't know, but my aquaintance with some managers and clerks of the big chains, whom I regard as semiliterate, makes me despair sometimes. Also, I've noticed a tendency in recent years for editors to attempt to get their writers to simplify the language, to remove anything that the semiliterate reader might not understand. Don't include any concepts that might bewilder the readers, etc. The publishers are wrong in this attitude, of course. Eco's
The Name of the Rose
was a best seller, though I heard that about 26 publishers rejected it. It's certainly not a zip-zip novel.
[Regarding] Ballard's "painterly" eye, I've always thought of him as the supreme example of the "geometrical" writer, whereas Lafferty, for instance, is "algebraical." A fine example of one who is both geometrical and algebraical is Thomas Pynchon.

Benign secondary headaches include headaches associated with the cold, flu, or sinus infections.
First of all, migraines often are misdiagnosed as sinus headaches.
One of the entries reads: "I spoke with a doctor for a long time about my sinus infections."
A fair number explicitly ask for an antibiotic, to cover the possibility that it is "bronchitis" or a "sinus infection."
After the lumen of the sinus has been obliterated above and below the injured area, the finger may be removed.
A process of the face, which enters the notch or sinus of the eye.
It came to a sinus cavity or something they said, over the eye.
Again, in others the part in question is received into a sinus of the nose.
The umbilical (abdominal) vein has lost its direct connection with the sinus venosus.
The wound may break down and a sinus may form at the site of the incision.
"hollow curve or cavity in the body," early 15c., from Medieval Latin sinus, from Latin sinus "bend, fold, curve, a bent surface; a bay, bight, gulf; a fold in land;" also "fold of the toga about the breast," hence "bosom," and figuratively "love, affection, intimacy; interior, inmost part;" of unknown origin.
sinus si·nus (sī'nəs)
A depression or cavity formed by a bending or curving.
A channel for the passage of blood or lymph, without the coats of an ordinary vessel, such as the blood passages in the gravid uterus or in the cerebral meninges.
Any of various air-filled cavities in the bones of the skull, especially one communicating with the nostrils.
A dilatation in a blood vessel.

Gold or dross, it seemed to matter little; it had melted from them, burning their hands.
To be in harmony with the lonely dead there must be no dross about the mind.
These form a cavity for the reception of the iron and dross, when melted above.
Well, what signifies which of us has the dross, so that there is enough for both?
She always gives it to us mixed with the stuff that weakens it—this dross and brimstone.
You are above all this, and can look down at it as dross, and I like you for that also.
Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
But less of this happened, we may feel sure, than a purging away of the dross.
"Stump up the dross like a man, then, and don't stand whining there like a sucking turkey craving for pity," retorted Captain S——.
But there is rapture in the cup—there is the vision which makes all life below it dross for ever.
"dirt, dregs," Old English dros "the scum thrown off from metals in smelting," from Proto-Germanic *drohs- (cf. Middle Dutch droes, Dutch droesem, Middle Low German dros, Old High German truosana, German Drusen "dregs, husks"), from PIE dher- (1) "to make muddy." Meaning "refuse, rubbish" is mid-15c.

Dear Dr. Don,

The total proceeds were less than $14,000.
-- Laura Losses
Dear Laura,
There was a lot going on in the law for 2010 concerning the tax basis for asset valuation in an estate, so you need to talk to the estate's executor.
It should be as you stated: You own the shares at the prices established at the shareholder's death. But actions by the estate's executor could influence the stock's cost basis, or tax value. The executor can, for example, choose the alternate valuation date for estate assets, which would establish the cost basis six months after the person's death. For deaths in 2010, the executor also has the option of electing either 2010 law or 2011 law for the estate.
That said, you don't owe income tax on the sale of shares sold at a loss. If you sold the shares at a loss in 2011, there may be a tax benefit from pairing off the loss against any capital gains on other investments you sold.
If you don't have any capital gains or if your capital losses exceed your capital gains, you can deduct the net capital loss on your tax return. That way you could reduce other income, such as wages, up to an annual limit of $3,000, or $1,500 if you are married filing separately.
If your total net capital loss is more than the yearly limit on capital loss deductions, you can carry over the unused part to the next year, and treat it as if you incurred it in that year.
So a little tax-loss harvesting from your inherited stock can generate a tax benefit or free up some funds, either for cash flow or for reinvestment in other investment vehicles.

text: Hi there, first time commenter but pretty consistent lurker. First off I'd like to say that I wish I found Epaulet sooner; you stuff is seriously exactly in my style groove, at my price point, and nearly entirely made in the US/Europe. A trifecta of awesome. The rapport between the owner and this internet community is like something you'd have no right to expect even in person at most boutiques. Just crazy, and makes parting with my money for you guys so much easier, since it's going to such a nice home. But I digress. Question time: About how long do you guys usually take for domestic delivery? I ordered my first pair of chinos from you guys, navy and clay (it's a start), and am super anxious to try them on for that first time, as at the rate you guys burn through product I'd hate to miss a restock waiting. Also, I'm planning on purchasing myself a quitting work present of either the Carmina Double Monks you carry or the Sib Mashburn ones.How would you, or the other really knowledgeable folks in this thread, compare the two/what makes the Carminas stand out? Thanks, and I hope that last question isn't rude. Though I seriously can't wait for those pants; I'm rushing to check the front door everytime I get home.

No, but that doesn't make it right.

Sad to think how many of these former players either have early stage dementia (Otis Wilson, Jim McMahon to name a couple) or are deceased (Walter Payton and Dave Duerson).

That was my first thought, too, Gloria. But what a team that was! The only question every week that season was by how much were they going to win. Aside from the misstep vs. Miami, they blew through everyone like it was unfair. Hard to think of a more dominant team having such a dominant season.

I saw this in my Google reader feed and I knew what it was before I clicked on the post. 😉
Great team, great song/performance, many fine men, Singeltary and Frazier to name just two.

I too was certain that I knew who/what it was before clicking through. What a team and what a fun memory of a season . . . and I wasn't even from Chicago, just a teenage sports fan at the time.

Just one more reminder that "White Men Can't Dance." Well, except for Gary Fencik. Maybe the saying should be revised to "White Men Not from Barrington Can't Dance."

As a Brit and a Liverpool FC fan, I have to give mention to the Anfield Rap ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kcy3gwwxat4 ) from 1988.

New Delhi (IANS) Apr 03, 2013
Lauding Indian space agency ISRO, US astronaut Sunita Williams Monday said it was doing an excellent job and wished that more Indian American women follow her and the late Kalpana Chawla into space.
Williams, 47, who holds the world record for the most spacewalk time - 50 hours 40 minutes - by a female astronaut, is in India on a week-long trip.
"India is doing excellent in space programme and has a huge resource of people. ISRO (India Space Research organisation) is doing a great job," Williams told IANS.
She also praised India's lunar mission (Chandrayaan-1 and 2) and the Mars exploration mission schedule for later this year.
India and the US have agreed to cooperate on future missions to the Moon and Mars after successful collaboration in Chandrayaan-1 lunar mission.
Chandrayaan-1, which carried two National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) instruments, successfully found water particles on the Moon's soil with the help of a US instrument.
Williams also wished for India to produce more astronauts like Kalpana Chawla - the first Indian-born woman to go into space.
"I hope of another Kalpana Chawla going there (space)," said the US Navy captain, clad in a blue flight suit of the kind astronauts wear in space. Chawla, who hailed from Karnal in Haryana, was killed in 2003 when the space shuttle Columbia exploded on re-entry.
Williams, whose father is from Mehsana in Gujarat and who was born in the US, said she was never nervous or afraid after the Columbia explosion.
The astronaut said she would love to be part of the next space mission.
"I would love to be on the next spacecraft for the next mission to space and give my expertise to the experiments being done," added Williams, who also holds the record for the longest spaceflight time by a female astronaut - 322 days in space on two missions.
Her India trip started in New Delhi Monday, where she interacted with students at the National Science Centre.
During the week she will be interacting with students in Kolkata, Mumbai and Gujarat.
Williams last visited India in October 2007, when she gave a talk at the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai.

Total iron binding capacityTIBC
Total iron binding capacity (TIBC) is a blood test to see if you may have too much or too little iron in the blood. Iron moves through the blood attached to a protein calledtransferrin. This test helps your doctor know how well that protein can carryiron in the blood.
How the Test is Performed
How to Prepare for the Test
You should not eat or drink for 8 hours before the test.
Make sure your doctor knows about all the medications you are taking. Some medicines can interfere with test results.
- Drugs that can raise TIBC include fluorides and birth control pills.
- Drugs that can lower TIBC include ACTH and chloramphenicol.
How the Test Will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the Test is Performed
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs or symptoms of low iron (deficiency) due to anemia.
Normal Results
- Iron: 60-170 mcg/dL
- TIBC: 240-450 mcg/dL
- Transferrin saturation: 20-50%
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples.Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Note: mcg/dl = micrograms per deciliter
What Abnormal Results Mean
TIBC is usually higher-than-normal when the body's iron stores are low. Higher-than-normal TIBC may mean:
- Iron deficiency anemia
- Pregnancy (late)
Lower-than-normal TIBC may mean:
- Cirrhosis
- Hemolytic anemia
- Hypoproteinemia
- Inflammation
- Liver disease
- Malnutrition
- Pernicious anemia
- Sickle cell anemia
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
