No Confidence? How About No Shame?
Put yourself in Alberto R. Gonzales's skin today for just a moment. As the 80th attorney general of the United States, you have contributed to and presided over a period of infamy at the Justice Department you purport to lead. Even as Congress contemplates a barrage of subpoenas that would escalate this scandal, the Senate today will hold a "no confidence" vote about your dismal tenure -- and it is a certainty the measure will pass with some bipartisan support.
Only your long relationship with your stubborn patron, President Bush, has kept you in office -- but he continues each day to pay a political price for his loyalty, sounding more and more loony when defending you. You clearly aren't wanted any longer -- you clearly aren't doing right by the public you are supposed to be serving -- so why don't you just leave?
Really. If you worked in an environment like the one Gonzales currently works in, wouldn't you want to leave? Wouldn't you want to get away from a place -- Washington -- that has turned its collective back on you? I know I would.
But you and I are not Gonzales. He won't leave because he would rather cling desparately, even pathetically, to a job that no reasonable person wants him to hold any longer. He won't leave because he figures that things can only get worse for him when he leaves the cocoon of government for the private sector. He won't leave even though he fairly owes it to his boss to free him from this mess. He won't leave because that would be the courageous and honorable thing to do, and if he had an excess of those qualities there would have been no U.S. attorney scandal in the first place, at least not on his watch.
No confidence? Sure. How about no shame?
When the moment came to defend the independence and authority of his prosecutors, Gonzales remained silent (or, worse, he conspired against his attorneys and career officials within his purview). When the moment came to ensure that professionalism and not partisanship was the order of the day at Justice, he looked the other way. When the moment came to take responsibility for the sins of his subordinates, he eventually blamed them. And, finally, when the moment came to tell all he knew about the U.S. attorney scandal, Gonzales suddenly and conveniently became amnesiastic -- where he remains today, even as the subpoenas are locked and loaded.
This morning's question is not how many senators go on the record as saying they have "no confidence" in the attorney general. The real story is which senators vote against the measure, and why. I for one would love to hear a lawmaker rationally defend Gonzales' conduct and leadership over the past few years -- and explain to all of us why this is all we have a right to expect and demand from a high-ranking public servant.

There is also value to the vote in terms of "going on the record". The vote will say everything that needs to be said about the Senators.
Those who vote to prevent this measure from coming to the floor, are voting for Gonzales. They are voting for a bare criminal standard as the bar by which future Attorney Generals should be measured in their fitness for the job. If this vote fails, it should make confirmation hearings in the future much easier.

It is clear from this adminsitration's history that Mr. Gonzales has played a lead role in the executive power grab. From the shameful and disgraceful "torture memo" to the "illegal surveilance" of our citizenry, the AG has supported the executive's odious policies. Although he obviously needs to resign as measure of accountability, president Bush cannot allow it as that would mean being held accountable himself.
Posted by: James Bird | June 11, 2007 10:20 AM
"Shameless" does appear to be the perfect description of Gonzales. Democrats want him gone, Republicans want him gone, independents want him gone, DOJ subordinates want him gone, the only guys who want him in place are Bush, Cheney, and Rove. The only explanation for his persistence in refusing to leave and Bush's refusal to push him out the door is that they are jointly participants in serious wrongdoing. They both fear turning over the Department of Justice to someone else, especially to an upright AG who would win confirmation in the Senate without a big fight. This is not just an example of Bush's high value on personal loyalty. The legal and political costs of replacing Gonzales are considerably higher than the costs of keeping him. Gonzales doesn't pull the plug on Bush for the same reason Bush doesn't pull the plug on Gonzales. They've got the goods on each other. We're stuck with them.

In the link for "loony": "I'll make the determination as to whether he's effective."? So the rest of the public other than the president has no say and isn't affected by whatever actions an Attorney General might do?
Posted by: Fred | June 11, 2007 01:05 PM
As I too would like to hear the senator's ratinale, do they even give individual reasons for their votes? In the way of rational arguments for positions, I haven't heard much in that way from them for a long time.

Can the president get away with a statement as the above, that only he decides the merit of the Attorney General? I can't imagine previous presidents making such a statement, certainly not before Reagan (even Nixon, despite some of his actions). Is there some reason he can just say he is "the decider" in various contexts, and that is just accepted as in "Oh true, good point, I didn't think of that, you must be right"?
Posted by: F | June 11, 2007 01:17 PM
It is becomming increasingly obvious that the Administration WANTS the confrontation. Only impeachment proceedings against Gonzales will do what needs doing. The question, then, is what advantage do they think they get by forcing the Senate's hand on Gonzales? Is this a diversion? If so, from what?
Posted by: Nellie | June 11, 2007 01:26 PM
Semi-unrelated question to Mr. Cohen and all the ships at sea:
What is the prevailing knowledge about how much of the torture memo and other such work came from David Addington versus our friend Alberto?
Posted by: Wondering | June 11, 2007 02:00 PM
I think if many within the administration had their way Gonzales would be gone already. Gonzales is still in his position because of George W. Bush's concern with public appearances, not because of any ingenious master plan. That's my read at least.
I think this administration stumbles into confrontations simply because that's what inept managers do. The idea of using the U.S. Attorneys office to advance party interests in advance of the 2008 election was just stupid to begin with. The president's inability/lack of interest/complete cluelessness will only continue to exacerbate the problem.
Posted by: JP2 | June 11, 2007 02:26 PM
Alberto doesn't strike me as a detail/idea man so much as a conduit/enabler. I suspect the ideas originated in the OVP, Alberto and the President who had no deeply considered opinions of their own on the issue, agreed. The rest is history.
I would add, when I say that Gonzales is not an "idea man," I am not implying that Alberto Gonzales is stupid. I think he's a pretty smart guy--you don't get into Rice and Harvard Law from humble circumstances purely as a charity case.
Gonzales's problem is that--from a professional standpoint--he has no separate will or individual conscience. Those are qualities that could make him a pretty good corporate litigator, but they are terrible qualities in a public servant--especially in an Attorney General.
Posted by: JP2 | June 11, 2007 02:51 PM
Simply, follows directions, a functionary, careful to stay on the right side, with all the implications of that in different situations. One should have serious problems with that in certain circumstances.

Has everyone forgotten what happened when Clinton took office? I believe the same thing... many people lost their jobs!(partisan politics without regard for individuals and their families.) It goes both way's so I'm not sure why Gonzales is getting so much heat. Perhaps because we now have a democratic majority? Let's not loose sight of the fact that nothing has been done since the newbies took office unless you call bickering and grand-standing progress!
Posted by: Shoe | June 11, 2007 04:43 PM
To Shoe's post:
The difference is that Clinton didn't "politicize" the DOJ, as Bush and his cronies did. Also, I don't remember Janet Reno doing the illegal, immoral, and unethical things that Gonzales and his DOJ are doing.
When everything is going wrong for the Repugs, the mantry still seems to 'Just blame Clinton'....that's getting old and tired.
Posted by: J | June 11, 2007 05:20 PM
Shoe: If you would like to link to some articles about how Janet Reno supported gutting the Geneva Conventions or supported torture or instituted a policy of firing US Attorneys in the middle of their terms because they weren't "Clinton loyalists". . . then a lot of us are all ears. Otherwise, shut your ignorant mouth and quit with the dishonest, disingenous and just plain wrong analogies. No administration -- Republican or Democratic -- in modern history has done the kind of gutting to the integrity of the Justic Dept. as this administration has done.

It's not enough that liberals cannot get a fair trial from the loyal bushies at the Justice Department; now, with installing cronies as judges, no one can even get a competent trial.

If the democrats had been sneakier, they would have couched this as a resolution expressing confidence in the Attorney General rather than one condemning him. It would be hard for any of the Republican Senators to vote against cloture, and it would interesting to see who if any would vote for passage.
Posted by: msj | June 11, 2007 05:51 PM
To JP2, "... Gonzales is not an 'idea man.' ..." but not stupid, since he got into Rice and Harvard. Well, yes. Not stupid. But not necessarily all that bright either. Remember, Gonzo got a political appointment to Air Force Academy, dropped out after a year, went to Rice--an ok place, granted--and then on to Harvard Law. Don't forget the tremendous weight of "affirmative action" and the sometimes idiocy of how a good idea was then being badly and mindlessly implemented, badly and mindlessly implemented meaning largely neglecting issues of individual quality altogether in deference to some objective group category. Even Bush likes to prate on about this poor Hispanic child from an impoverished large sharecropping family. Yeah, that's as tear-jerking as Clarence Thomas' background. But it doesn't make one all that bright by itself, and certainly not all that compassionate, socially-minded, justice-oriented, or morally and intellectually independent. Thomas, Gonzales, maybe Condi--all are poster-children of a socially just idea, affirmative action, implemented by politically-correct ideologues blind to the essential ingredient of quality. It just shows that reactionaries can take a good liberal idea and come up with a Thomas or a Gonzaels, and liberals are ham-strung and incapable of objecting. Hoisted on their own petard ...
Posted by: orray | June 11, 2007 05:57 PM
Orray, affirmative action candidates based on minority status are no less able than legacy students who get in to competitive programs based largely on family connections. In fact, the average candidate who got in via an affirmative action program almost certainly is a few notches above the person who got into a program based solely on legacy considerations.
The even more perverse form of affirmative action these days is one that is invented by this administration, which involves a religious and loyalty based standard. e.g. Monica Goodling, Brad Schlozman are two examples of professionals who couldn't compete in a truly competitive professional market; Paulose and Sampson had above average professional resumes compared to many peers, but were nevertheless advanced well above what their experience level merited.
In many respects this emblematic of Republicanism today.
The entire Republican political appartus seems to be one huge affirmative action program for low-performers and the ethically challenged. The results in recent years seem to bear this out. Even today's Gonzales vote is a shining example of who and what the Republican party is about these days: The party that rewards corruption and low expectations.
Apparently, it looks like that criminal standard is where the new bar for Attorney General performance is going to rest--thanks to some Bush Rubber Stamps. Meanwhile, ordinary Americans get screwed.
Posted by: JP2 | June 11, 2007 06:46 PM
It pisses me off that everytime the republicans don't like to cast an uncomfortable vote, they say that is a political stunt designed to embarass... Why does the press give them a free pass on this? Would the republicans prefer impeachment of Gonzo? Why do reepublican senators who expressed "no confidence" in Gonzo during the hearings get to vote no on this procedural vote without being called on it? Talk about a "political stunt"!

Shame. No shame. you or the WP

In Texas we have know about Alberto for some time, As Texas Attny General he never once reviewed any death row executions cases. In one case the person being executed wanted to save his last meal desert until after the execution because he thought he was coming right back. This case was after the Supreme Court ruled that executing the mentaly challenged should be stopped. He presided over 300 executions in Texas, any guess as to how many were innocent?
Posted by: American First | June 11, 2007 06:59 PM
Alberto Gonzales will resign on the day the President tells him to. The President may decide he prefers to fire him.
But it is ludicrous to assume that AG is doing anything except following marching orders.
I wrote Senator Schumer a letter telling him that as a liberal Democrat I thought that a vote of no-confidence was frivolous.
AG has repeatedly misled the Congress. It is an impeachable offense.
If the House of Representatives won't impeach the AG, the Senate should just leave that matter alone.
Has anyone even asked the House about impeachment?

I really have to hand it to the Republicans in Congress; there is a grand tradition to "going down with the ship." Down they shall go.
Pity they don't care more about the country they were elected to serve .. than about their loyalty to a loser.
Posted by: Chris Fox | June 11, 2007 07:13 PM
Once again, the republicans have shown that loyalty to the party is placed above their elected duty to their constituents and country. If there ever was a person who should be replaced as the head of the Department of Justice it is Gonzales who has shown his contempt for the law ever since he took office.
Sure, republicans will blame it on "politics" but then that is their excuse for anything when they don't like that the vote is against a republican. Now you can rest assured that if Gonzales was a democrat he would have been impeached ages ago.
What a shame that a country who demands democracy and the rule of law from everyone else in the world can not display anything other than contempt for it when it comes to enforcing it or even respecting it, in their own country.
Posted by: foreign visitor | June 11, 2007 07:16 PM
All Republican senators should be removed from office. They, as well as Bush, Cheney and Gonzalez, should be removed from office and disgraced in the eyes of their constituencies. However, they have a fix on that too -- just become lobbyists! They have worked deligently to destroy this country and should be punished, ridiculed and exposed for the greedy, dishonest and wasteful way they have served in the senate. They have made the senate a joke throughout the world! As hard-working taxpayers, we deserve better. It never ceases to amaze me, they had nothing when they came into the senate but will all leave (hopefully soon} as millionaires. That has to say something about how corrupt they are. What we need is a second revolution!!
Posted by: Anne Kvestich | June 11, 2007 07:19 PM
I would point out the obvious:
The Republicans ( I include Senator Lieberman) have more to lose by the elimination of Gonzales as Attorney General than they stand to gain by admitting his criminal politicization of Justice.
If they take a principled stand against turning the Justice Department into the Republican Election Insurance Board they may gain self respect. But they will almost certainly lose the next several national elections.
From the horror of a "pre-emptive war" waged on doctored intelligence to the embrace of soviet style torture and imprisonment, the Republican led government has proven itself incompetent and un-American.
Only with the illegal assistance of a partisan legal system and a biased national press can they hope to escape their record of failures and follies.

If the democrats had been sneakier, they would have couched this as a resolution expressing confidence in the Attorney General rather than one condemning him. They still haven't learned to play the game. They still believe in the rule of law and that Bush's power grab was necessary to catch Osama bin Laden, not that a Pet Goat Lesson was necessary for a power grab.
The entire Republican political appartus seems to be one huge affirmative action program for faith-based low-performers and white male ethically challenged and the deadly Florida mafia.
We saw today how they get away with it at the top. That is the same way they get away with much worse at the state, local and elite level.
Posted by: The Outlaw State | June 11, 2007 07:34 PM
The reason the Rethuglican senators won't allow a no-confidence in Gonzales can be found in a saying from Benjamin Franklin: "If we don't hang together, we shall all hang seperately." It's an old human instinct, even older than pioneers circling the wagons to defend against attack from Indians, as old as a herd of buffalo putting their rumps together and sticking their heads outward to fend off a pack of wolves. If you let a weak member of your mob get picked off, that's one less body standing between you and the onslaught.
So if this criminally incompetent Gonzales goes, then the righteous investigators will go after the next target. Rethug senators sense this. As each new person in the executive branch is thoroughly disgraced, more of the stench will stick to their party. So they're not throwing Gonzales under the bus -- they're strapping his political corpse to the front of the bus, to absorb the investigatory bullets their opposition is shooting at them.
Posted by: Bukko in Australia | June 11, 2007 07:35 PM
Senators Biden, Dodd, Obama, Brownback and McCain were among those who did not vote.
This Gonzales scandal is a major issue: the lack of voting by these 5 Senator- Presidents-to-be speaks volumes. We should all consider their lack of serious concern when considering them.

To stand by Alberto Gonzales and his administration of the justice department is not loyalty--its treason. Mr. Gonzales' actions have undermine the public confidence in the fair administration of justice. The defense of nothing illegal was done is the defense of crooks and cronies, not the top law enforcement official of the United States.
Posted by: diedra walker | June 11, 2007 09:38 PM
Cohen, nice piece and I agree with you generally but time to eat some crow on the vote count prediction.
Those of us who've been watching this one predicted, rightly, that Gonzales must stay in office, and the Republicans will keep him there, since their entire electoral and governing strategy collapses if he leaves.
Perhaps you will now move on to the real story behind this debacle: a stealth coup d'etat, completed several years ago by Karl Rove and Tom Delay, to install a "permanent Republican majority" by suppressing Democratic voters, falsely indicting Democratic politicians and lining up all the moneyed interests so they had no choice but to put their money behind Republicans.
In fact, a cursory review of the available evidence proves each one of these events has taken place, yet never placed in context nor reviewed comprehensively by the Washington Post - purportedly DC's most "connected" paper, but not so connected that Cohen could make such a predictably wrong prediction about the vote today.
Any Post reporters up for the story?

So Lieberman must have something to say......
Posted by: WOW | June 11, 2007 10:10 PM
What possible reason would Joe Lieberman have to vote in favor of Gonzales? I thought he said he'd vote with the Dems after he lost the Dem primary and was apparently saying whatever he thought would get him elected, with no intention of actually following thru on his promises. Further, I'm disappointed that Obama and Dodd didn't vote at all, especially since Obama was a constitutional law professor.
Re the argument that affirmative action got Fredo into good schools and (eventually) an appointment to the Texas Kangaroo Court, as well as lifting the careers of Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice, John Yoo and other token Republicans, my theory is that the GOP have intentionally brought these underqualified, reality-denying, heritage-denying minorities to power knowing that they would evaporate public support for Affirmative Action in the future. It's the Lee Atwater/Karl Rove stealth plan to discredit the very concept.
A decade and a half after the crime, I'm still outraged that Bush Sr had the temerity to nominate and actually support Clarence Thomas as the absolute best legal mind in the country to replace that courageous, brilliant legal advocate and (later) Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. That "high-tech lynching" whining presaged the Swift Boating of Kerry and a host of other red herrings during the Second Bush Reich.
Posted by: Reality Check | June 11, 2007 11:13 PM
Bush will never fire Gonzales because for his entire career in goverment, Gonzales has provided Bush legal cover for his many questionable policies and actions. In other words, Bush could never find a better hack. Like Karl Rove, Gonzales is Bush's enabler. Even now as Gonzales villifies his own reputation, Bush benefits by distracting the Congress and the public from what lies below the surface--the White House's direct role in the many sordid activities that Gonzales enabled for Bush. Bush will reward his loyal buddy.

Additionally, why did Gonzales leave the service of our nation at about the time he was required to commit to commit to continued military service? After he was in the Academy two years he left for Rice, just about when he was required to be committed to our nation. Why not commit? Why waste the spot of someone who was truy committed?

i just find it ironic (and not commented upon by the press) that the republicans who have consistently asked for nothing less than a simple 'up or down vote' on all their hack appointments over the last 6 years are now resorting to a filibuster to block such a vote on gonzales.
Posted by: jon merz | June 11, 2007 11:40 PM
mateosf, if this is political calculation on the part of Republicans, it's a short-sighted one. This vote presented a clear case for the party to create some distance between itself and a president and attorney general who are held in low regard.
This idea for a "no confidence" vote was originally tossed out in the days after the Comey testimony. I suspect if the vote had been held at that time that there is a good chance it might have come to a floor vote. However, in the intervening weeks Senators have been able to gage interest in their home states and have found that this issue has not registered fully with ordinary voters. I suspect that many Republicans also made a calculation that the loss of base support outweighed any gain among independents.
At the end of the day though, this is about as clear cut an issue as there is. The choice in this matter is a little bit like the points that are given out when a person spells his or her name correctly on an SAT test. The question: Is the Attorney General faithfully performing his duties if his main line of defense is that he hasn't done anything illegal?
Apparently to at least 39 Senators the answer is yes. But this issue isn't going away as long as the White House stonewalls the investigation, and as long as Gonzales is drawing a taxpayer salary.
Posted by: JP2 | June 11, 2007 11:45 PM
The measure should have been put the other way:
"The Senate hereby reaffirms its prior confirmation of Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General of the United States, and expresses full confidence in the continued integrity, competence, and efficacy of his office."
You can only wonder how many R's would've affixed their ayes to that statement.
Posted by: youarestillidiots | June 11, 2007 11:53 PM
Hey, Bush is right. Only HE gets to decide who will serve as AG. On the other hand Bush is also wrong on one very important point. Only CONGRESS gets to decide whether Gonzales gets PAID as AG. If they really wanted to send a message, then they'd line item his salary OUT of the justice department budget for FY08. It's simple. If Bush wants him, then he can pay for him out of his own pocket.
Left with no options except the power of the purse and armed with the support of a majority of the American people, it's an easy, principled stand to take...at least for someone with actual principles. Anyone out there believe that the chicken hawk democrats are capable of taking a principled stand on anything??? Nah. I Didn't think so either.

Thanks for including Lieberman with the Republicans. I knew there were deeper reasons to distrust him (although at least he says his closed-mindedness and

I would have been against the grain to take action opposing the president after that. You see, "blowing over" is something to be moulded by will, rather than reflecting the unconscious moods of public opinion, as many periodicals act, or likely, pretend.
How clever our representatives seem to think they are (and I think Wolfowitz only had accountability because 1) that came before the war bill was voted on and even more importantly 2) non-US World Bank members had a say, the German mebers insisted on it. Does one seriously think that if Wolfowitz's actions had occurred in a completely American context, that too wouldn't have deliberately "blown over" also?)!

But outlaw, the Republican administration ISN'T white male. That's the same mistake. Social classification isn't identity, and shouldn't be presumed to give some automatic unconsious insight (especially without knowing the individual person thoroughly)not available to others.

I fail to see what Tony's point is above. Preferential racial manipulation I think is wrong whichever side does it. You appear to be doing the same argument that Republicans congenitally do, only for the other side: the other side did something objectional so that gives us a blank check to do it also.

Watch While These Sanitation Workers Have The Greatest Game Of Outdoor Broken Foosball Ever Played
Could I have kicked off today with an Eagles story about how awful they are and how much it pains everybody in the area to have to watch these scrubs embarrass our city on national TV every other week? Of course I could have. But what's the point? We know they're bad. Watching the Eagles B-team get assassinated by the Bengals at home is too disheartening to ruin your Friday morning analyzing every frustrating detail. So let's start off our day with something positive — the TRUE spirit of competition.
This right here is what being a man is all about. Women compete on creepy subversive levels, men compete head-to-head and as publicly as possible. Even if you're a garbageman playing in the freezing cold with a cheap, broken foosball table, it's your duty as a man to prove you're the best outdoor foosball-playing garbageman in the world. That's what being a man is about. Pretty much the opposite of losing to the Bengals by 21 at home.

Make Your Own Mini Pineapple Upside-Down Cakes
by Dana Angelo White in Cookies & Other Desserts, Healthy Recipes, January 13, 2012This old-school dessert never goes out of style, but the fat and calories in traditional recipes might force you out of those skinny jeans. Our properly portioned recipe saves the day!
Lightening Things Up
Recipes for typical pineapple upside-down cake call for sticks of butter and cups of sugar just for the pineapple topping! This leads to slices of cake with at least 400 calories and 15 grams of fat.
Making pineapple upside-down cupcakes equals portion control for this culinary classic. You can also make this same recipe in a 9×13 inch cake pan and divide into 12 pieces for the calories to come out the same. While the occasional maraschino cherry (the typical topping), is harmless, we used fresh raspberries instead.
Pineapple Upside-Down Cupcakes
Makes: 12 cupcakes
1 recipe for Yellow Cupcakes*
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup light brown sugar
Fresh pineapple, finely chopped or cut into small rounds**
12 fresh raspberries
Confectioners' sugar (optional)
Nonstick cooking spray
*You can also use a boxed vanilla cake mix – we like Arrowhead Mills brand.
** Cut pineapple vertically into thin planks, then into small rounds using a cookie cutter or ring mold
Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. Prepare cake batter and set aside.
Spray a 12-cup cupcake pan liberally with cooking spray. Fill each cup with one teaspoon of melted butter, followed by one teaspoon of brown sugar. Add pineapple and a raspberry to each cup, then top with 1/3 cup of cake batter. Bake for 20 to 24 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Using a butter knife, gently remove the cupcakes and turn them pineapple side up. Transfer to a wire wrack to cool completely. Serve dusted with confectioners' sugar.

Humminbird 900 Series Sonar - $999.99 to $1499.99
The Humminbird 900 Series Sonar is built around a widescreen format, giving the serious angler a huge on-the-water performance advantage. With a 16:9 aspect ratio display for easy-to-read whole screen or split screen viewing, the Humminbird 900 Series will put you on the fish.
Dual Beam PLUS: Get the best of both worlds, with selectable narrow and wide beams you can view individually, or melded into one display. Features precision, 20-degree beam that is optimized for excellent bottom detail, and reveals fish hidden in bottom clutter, along with wider, 60-degree beam provides greater coverage for fish and baitfish. Beams may be viewed separately, side-by-side, or blended together for the most complete picture. 1x depth-bottom coverage allows you to find fish and structure in an area equal to your depth.
Optional QuadraBeam PLUS: provides full 90-degree; coverage from side-to-side or directly below. DualBeam PLUS 60-degree and 20-degree beams scan below the boat and two fan-shaped 35-degree beams look to the sides, to shows whether fish are to the right, left or below the boat for cast placement. Unique display shows you two separate views, below and to the sides. Scans an area equal to twice your depth, revealing more fish and structure.
Side Imaging Sonar: Offering amazingly clear, picture-like images of fish, the bottom and structure, it is the ultimate structure-finding tool. Its massive coverage - 480ft from side-to-side (240ft in each direction) - allows you to scan in mere minutes what used to take hours. Its high frequency sonar (not a camera) cuts through murk with crystal clarity. (Select models only - see chart below)
Down Imaging Sonar: Humminbird pointed their Side Imaging technology in a new direction - straight down. Now you can see the detail of what is happening below your boat. Timber, brush, bridge pilings, rocks and any other structure will pop with stunning detail as you patrol the water. (Available on select models only - see chart below)
50-Channel GPS: With trackplotting, chartplotting, GPS speed, and Humminbird ContourXD, which is an enhanced professional mapping package with over 3,000 U.S. Lake Maps in its database. You will be able to find a lake close to any location you may want to wet a line. As an added bonus, it also features depth contour lines, so you can find all the drops, bumps and channels holding fish. Includes U.S. lights/markers, and major roads and interstates.
Additional advanced sonar features and user-friendly technology include: Freeze-Frame with ability to mark structure on Sonar, Instant Image Update, Real Time Sonar RTS Window, Selective Fish ID, Sonar Echo Enhancement, Sonar Recording, Sonar Snapshot, Split Screen Zoom, TrueArch Technology, Wide Narrow Cone Split Screen, Custom Digital Readout Selection, Custom View Selections, Large Digit View, Selectable Background, Temperature Alarm, Temperature Graph, Triplog, View Preset Keys and an X-Press Menu System.
All 900 Series Units can be upgraded with QuadraBeam PLUS, WeatherSense, CannonLink, InterLink, XMWeather and Navionics Platinum.

Spring is always an exciting time for sports fans (unless you're a die-hard for baseball), with the Superbowl wrapped up this week, the NBA Finals and NHL Cup Playoffs upcoming, and the Olympics to look forward to this year, you may find yourself tempted to put a little action on that "can't miss" pick. The IRS has very specific rules about reporting gambling winnings or losses, so here are a few things to know the next time you watch Mario Manningham catch a pass that ruins your day at the casino.
If you lose a bet, you're going to have to provide proof of your losses in order to claim them on your income tax returns. Gambling losses must be itemized and are counted as miscellaneous, so not subject to the 2% limit. Keep track of the amount of the loss, date of the loss, name and location of the gambling establishment and you will be able to deduct your losses when you file Schedule A.
Be aware, the "catch" (ah-thank-you) for deductions is that you can only deduct as much in losses as you report in winnings. This means that if you placed one bet all year and lost, you will not have to worry about calculating that loss into your IRS tax refund. Make sure your tax preparation service or tax professional is aware of these losses or gains as well.
Winnings are fully taxable as well and must be reported on your tax return. The IRS has defined gambling income as any winnings from lotteries, raffles, horse and dog races and casinos as well as the fair market value of non-cash prizes. Winning over $1,200 at bingo or slot machines, $1,500 in keno, $5,000 at poker tournaments, $600 in other forms of gambling will require IRS FORM W2-G, where you will be required to enter in accurate information about your wins. You will also need to report your gambling winnings on IRS Form 1040, not IRS Form 1040A or IRS Form 1040EZ, regardless of whether you use IRS Form W2-G or not.
The best policy if you're a gambling enthusiast or if you play the numbers and like the extra cash, is to keep a diary of your wins and losses throughout the year. It's sometimes painful to write down that lost cash after your team loses, but it could make a big difference when tax season rolls around.

2005, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport
In his professional and personal life, Janney has spent quite a bit of time waiting in airports. Aware that this part of the travel experience was ripe for improvement, Janney decided to shake up the paradigm when he was commissioned for a major project for a new international terminal at DallasFort Worth International Airport in Texas. His response was Circling, an interactive, three-dimensional labyrinth, the name of which reflects both the notion of planes circling overhead and the action of the passengers themselves as they circle through four concentric rings within the thirty-foot-diameter space.
Circling is based on a labyrinthine form but had to be configured for the airport space. Its walls, constructed from one hundred sheets of two-foot-wide colored glass, spiral at different heights, up to twelve feet, along terrazzo paths. Twenty-eight sensors embedded in the floor trigger lights and loudspeakers to reinforce the idea of illumination and sounds coming up from the earth as people walk through the maze.
Janney refers to it as an onion-like icon that evokesthe spiritual symbol of a circle: It is more soothing to walk in a circle than in other shapes, he says. Not that many people at the airport key into its spiritual side, but it provides a good way to escape from the hectic pace of the place.

Redirected from Wisps
Wisps are residual life energy from the Anima Mundi, created by the remnants of Guthix's power. They are found in colonies around Gielinor, with the first one being located near the Lumbridge crater.
Divine energy, the main resource for the Divination skill, is gathered from wisps. They also release fragments of Guthix's memories, which can be returned to the Anima Mundi in return for experience.
Regular wisps spawn frequently around their respective colony, and give a chance of gaining one regular or enriched memory per harvest.
An enriched wisp spawns approximately once per 20 minutes in every location, and provides only enriched memories, although it is possible to only receive energy from a single harvest. Every site has 3 different enriched wisp spawns. Enriched wisps' duration are lengthened every time a player starts harvesting from it with at least one memory in their inventory, which is absorbed. If the player do not have any memory in their inventory, they could simply start harvesting the enriched wisp, click the ground to interrupt harvesting, then re-harvest to gain the bonus duration, which is faster than finding another wisp. An enriched wisp spring also converts regular memories into enriched memories once the player's inventory has been filled.
If only one player harvests from it, roughly 3~14 memories could be expected from one enriched wisp. Memories from other tiers work. However, there is a cap to how many players could extend one enriched wisp's timer.
For unknown reasons, wisps colonies may some time line up at one edge of the area, and is only "unlocked" from the position when a player comes near. Notable wisps that do this include glowing and brilliant wisps, which line up on the north side, radiant wisps that line up on the east side, and luminous wisps that line up on the west side.
Wisp typesEdit
- Pale wisp
- Flickering wisp (Enriched)
- Bright wisp (Enriched)
- Glowing wisp (Enriched)
- Sparkling wisp (Enriched)
- Gleaming wisp (Enriched)
- Vibrant wisp (Enriched)
- Lustrous wisp (Enriched)

Cody Simpson Kicks Off Bing's 'Summer of Doing' [VIDEO]
Fans of Australian pop star Cody Simpson couldn't have been more happy when the "Got Me Good" singer appeared onstage at Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA) for a performance to celebrate their hard work. The concert with Cody capped off a day of volunteer service at HOLA, as part of Bing and DoSomething.Org's "Summer of Doing" campaign, meant to inspire young people to give back.
Hilary Duff Volunteers for Bing 'Summer of Doing' Campaign [PHOTOS]
The event was just one of the many that Bing will be hosting this summer. Fans can participate and follow the campaign online using the Twitter hashtags #NewBing and #Doing to share how they're doing good in their own communities or visit http://www.bing.com/doing to search for a local project in their area.
On Upcoming Album Preview to Paradise:
"I'm just excited to put new music out. We've got this new single "Wish You Were Here" and I'm super excited for that one. It's going to be my summer single and something for my fans and everyone. That's the song I'm most excited about on the preview. It's going be cool going out on tour this summer performing all the music."
On His New Music
"It sounds a bit like "Got Me Good" and a couple of…this other track called "Gentleman" that's going to be on the preview. A lot of stuff on the album. My single "Wish You Were Here" is going to be dance. I'm wanting to keep the pop stuff as well."
On Collaborating With Other Artists:
"It's super cool. I love getting in the studio with people like T-Pain because you can learn so much from them, people that have experienced a lot. You can kind of just watch them and learn. I love getting in the studio with songwriters that have better ideas than I have and I can just learn with them and eventually get on their level."
On Kylie Jenner:
"I mean, what's personal I guess is personal but you know…we're just good friends."
On Girls:
"The song ("Got Me Good") isn't particularly about one girl that's got me good but it's the idea. I don't really have a preference. The eyes are the first thing I notice I think. When they have eyes that captivate you… when they lock you, you just can't look away. She gets me good."
On Guys Dating His Younger Sister Alli:
"I'm intimidating. I just like to make sure my sister is with someone that isn't going to hurt her and will be respectful. I guess you can say I'm defensive."
On Getting His Drivers License:
"I get my permit in a couple months. I could get my license but if I get it now I'll be gone for like three or four months. Might as well get it when I get back. Just get it and never drive."

It's working in Taunton. I was 3G till about 10:30. Got a message and I noticed the 4Glte . In a crappy area inside my building. Also have it in a good part of Fall River, unfortunately I live in the extended lte area. No 4G at home but the signal does pop up from time to time. I can pick it up about 500 yards from my house. A solid 3 bars too. I may try a booster since I already have a rotary antenna on my roof. It's a yagi so it should work. If I have it at home and work that will be good enough for me till they expand the coverage. I'll post an update after I get this installed in case anyone else wants to try this.

I had 4G coverage in Providence for a while then it switched back to 3G. After that, I lost all data coverage. Go figure. Eventually I did get 3G coverage back
I dont know why New Hampshire isn't on the map we have 4g in the south part of the state which they never told us about. -_- Sent from my DROID BIONIC using DroidForums
there is a tower in Manchester (according to my speedtest.net app), strangely enough it seems to follow 93 instead of radiating out from one point. I have 4G at home (thankfully) but at work I'm stuck on 3G. I seem have data drop out on me for extended periods of time while at work, I was really hoping that they would expand more to the NE Mass/SE NH area b/c there is crap coverage around here (work).
I ended up getting 21 megs down in little rock this morning! INSANE! Sent from my DROID BIONIC using DroidForums
Yes in south end of manchester it has 4g by the end of 2012 most of nh will have 4g Sent from my DROID BIONIC using DroidForums

Special Immigrant Visas
Locate a Local Immigration Lawyer
What is a "Special Immigrant"?
"Special Immigrant" is a visa category listed under the 4th type of Employment-based visa (EB-4). Special Immigrants may be entitled to certain government benefits, and the quota limits may be different than in other types of visa categories. Also, children and spouses of special immigrants are often granted lawful permanent resident status (LPR) or derivative citizenship at the same time as the special immigrant parent.
There are various sub-categories for special immigrants, and not all applicants may qualify for special immigrant visas. Special immigrant visas, or "SIV's" are reserved for:
- Persons subject to limitations under the EB-4 category;
- Persons who have lost citizenship through marriage or through service in foreign armed forces;
- Religious ministers and other religious workers;
- Certain employees/former employees for the U.S. government working abroad;
- Immigrants subject to the Panama Canal Act;
- Some foreign medical school graduates and professionals;
- Some employees of international organizations who are retired;
- Certain court dependents (juveniles); and
- Certain qualifying aliens serving in U.S. Armed Forces
Each of these categories is subject to different requirements and eligibility factors. For example, a religious working filing for an SIV will have to provide extensive documentation of their religious work and the nature of the religious organization they belong to.
Are Special Immigrants Entitled to any Benefits?
Many non-citizens choose to file as special immigrants because the category often entitles them to government assistance and benefits such as:
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
- Food Assistance Programs (FAP)
- State-funded "resettlement" programs
- Other entitlement programs
Again, eligibility for such programs will depend on the background of each individual applicant and the sub-category of the application. Some benefits are limited to a certain time frame after the person is granted the visa (i.e., the benefits will expire after a certain amount of time).
Can Persons Under Refugee Status Adjust to SIV?
Many applicants who would qualify for a special immigrant visa might also qualify for refugee status. However, a non-citizen who has been granted refugee status cannot adjust their status from asylum or refugee to SIV. Instead, refugees may apply for LPR status after they have spent one year in the U.S. after their refugee admission.
Do I Need a Lawyer for Assistance with Obtaining a Special Immigrant Visa?
Special immigrant visas typically have more conditions and requirements than other visa categories due to the benefits associated with them. You may wish to contact a lawyer if you or a loved one needs assistance with special immigrant concerns. Special immigrants often need to travel to the U.S. with their children or spouses, which can make the process more complex.

Virtual establishments are the type that outsource arrangement fulfillment. They never carry products themselves and so they count on associates to send their goods. Steer clear from phony shopping comparison sites which pretend to be providing fair assessments, fraudulent online drug pharmacies, and "free trial" promo sites that trick victims right into unwittingly registering for regular credit card charges. If you find any of the products you want, kindly click on them as their hyperlink will route you towards the exact product on ebay. If you find something that you like inside an auction internet site, make sure you do some research about the seller first to make sure that you are not getting yourself into any deceptive dealings. Looking at the features and evaluations of comparable electronic merchandise can be helpful as it gives you an approximate idea on the value and functionality of the device.
If you are doing transactions with an unknown merchant or online store, check with the Better Business Bureau or maybe your city or local consumer protection agency to know whom you are transacting with. Web stores are in essence virtual shops on the web that deals with numerous sorts of merchandise or services. An online store can include unique tools that can certainly make it both equally attractive and easy to use for buyers. Such very simple attention and consideration to detail can lead to the overall buying experience and customer satisfaction that most purchasers would like. Phishing e-mails usually contain one way links that refer you toward a seemingly bona fide homepage of your own financial institution. Never click on these url links. Phishing e-mails can be easily detected when one is appropriately enlightened. Ensure that you purchase major items right from authorized dealers, or you might learn that your product warranty is not really genuine. Whenever buying computers, it is strongly advised that you simply purchase from a merchant that offers an on-site warranty which will allow you to have the device repaired on-site.

- " It was very noisy, not just the outside with people coming & going from Temple Bar which I expected, But toilets flushing which sounded like a river in our room, Fans making mad noises and doors banging. "
- 14 Feb 2015 Stephen Ireland
- " This place was great! 21 year old female college student traveling alone, so safety is important to me. I always felt very safe at the hostel. I stayed in the 8 bed mixed room and all the people I met were really nice. the hostel has very nice and helpful staff and also has free tours and a really fun pub crawl every day/night. I was only in Dublin for two days but I had such a blast because of all the people I met at Barnacles and on the pub crawl. Comfy beds and everything was clean. "
- 02 Jan 2015 Anonymous USA
- " The atmosphere was really great! Even in my short (1 night) stay I met a lot of wonderful people, who made me wish I didn't have to catch a flight home the next day. The staff was also superb!!!! From helping with how and when to get to the airport, to repeating directions on how to get to must see sights, to just being a smiling faces! When I left they were even trying to come up with a fun holiday celebration for everyone staying through Christmas! Overall it was a terrific place! "

- " Best location in town! The staff was really nice and helpful with everything. "
- 11 Oct 2014 Andree-Anne Canada
- " Noisy - even mid week, the noise from the street came up through the windows. Great proximity to bars and clubs, but lots of coming in and out. The staff was very friendly and helpful. This spot is probably a little more suited to groups than solo travellers. "
- 02 Oct 2014 Anonymous USA
- " Barnacles was a great hostel, small rooms but awesome pun crawl. A little loud in therooms at night, can hear people walking around upstairs so bring ear plugs! Amazing location, definitely recommended "
- 29 Jul 2014 Anonymous USA
- " So much fun to stay in this hostel! Right in the middle of the nightlife action meant not too far of a walk home from the bars and the pubcrawls were a blast. Not to mention the staff was super helpful. "
- 28 Jul 2014 Anonymous USA
- " The hostel is right above the temple bar, so it's pretty noisy at night- we had to close our windows at night to be able to sleep, which turned our room into a sauna. The rooms are small, there's not really any extra room, but there are lockers under the bed to store luggage. The beds were clean and comfortable. "
- 03 Jul 2014 Evguenia USA
- " The electricity and shower in the room was broken. The staff was unable to fix it nut were very helpful in finding us another room that worked. The location was amazing and the staff was superhelpful...best pub crawl out of any hostel "

Trusart's guitars look best in the Rust-O-Matic finish, which gives them a weathered look. But if slinging a rusty axe isn't your style, Trussart will slather on any finish you like. This baby, which sports Trussart's patented perforated steel top, is a copy of Tom Morello's guitar. If you look closely, you can see the signature kill switch.

So I realize this game is, what, 2 years old? But I just now got it and got into it.
I'm in Megaton last night and I get into the weapon armory. Right after that I get attacked by pretty much the entire town. I try to run into my house and hide from them, and the villagers follow me in. When Wadsworth tries to fight them off, they end up killing him. Unfortunately I don't have a previous save to go back to (been just using the autosave). Question is, is there any way to either get Wadsworth back or even get another robot butler? I kinda miss his jokes and free water.
Before I turned it off I got a mission to go to a robotics factory and insert a keycode that will supposedly give me control over the robots there. Might there be another butler there I can bring back home with me?

It was a "shock in the ballroom," according to "Dancing with the Stars" co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet.
During week five of the competition, another contender was sent packing—a high-scoring one, too. Tom Bergeron clued viewers in at the start of the show, revealing that based on last week's votes, one of the four remaining female contestants would be getting the boot.
The episode got under way with a performance by singer Aloe Blacc and the pro troupe. Then it was time for the competition as stars battled in a round dubbed, "The Most Memorable Year" of their lives.
Corbin Bleu said 2011 was the most memorable as it was the year his sister was diagnosed with severe scoliosis. He danced the foxtrot and received praise from the judges, earning a total score of 28. Judge Len Goodman called the actor a "terrific dancer."
Also earning a score of 28 was Christina Milian, who said her most memorable year was in 2010, when she found out her child's father, The Dream,was cheating on her with his assistant. That story is bound to get your blood flowing before hitting the dance floor.
Snooki, meanwhile, channeled the 2012 birth of her son, Lorenzo. "You should have known me before," she told her pro-partner Sasha Farber. "I drank all the time. I was loud, I was annoying. Still annoying now, but it's different." Oh we remember,Snooki. The new mom scored a 27 on Monday night.
A birth also influenced Jack Osbourne's dance. His most memorable year was 2012,when his daughter, Pearl, was born. It was also the same year, he learned he had multiple sclerosis. His routine earned a total score of 27. Bruno Tonioli called it "wonderful."

Brant Daugherty said 2009 was a turning point in his life as he danced to Elton John's "Your Song." The routine, which earned 27 points, received a standing ovation. Carrie Ann Inaba called it "breathtaking."
"Glee" star Amber Riley cited 2009 as her most memorable year. She had been rejected as a contestant on "American Idol," but managed to land a role on "Glee" "I want to show that just before you hit rock bottom, you can push it through," Riley said. She walked away with a 26.
Actress Elizabeth Berkley said last year was the most memorable, when her babySky Cole Lauren was born. She also noted how 1989 was when she got her big break on "Saved by the Bell." Berkley received 26 points.
Bill Engvall dedicated his dance to his wife, Gail, whom he married in 1982. His performance to Billy Joel's "She's Always A Woman To Me" had a few hiccups, but the judges were impressed with the effort and emotion he poured into it. Engvall scored 24 points.
Leah Remini broke out a contemporary dance to Katy Perry's "Roar." The actress, who recently left the Church of Scientology, said 2012 was the most important year, saying, "You don't realize how not strong you really are until stuff hits the fan....You can either be a victim or do something about it."
It was an emotion-filled evening, but things got a bit more emotional for Milian when she learned at the end of the show that she was getting eliminated.
"It's a true shock, I wasn't expecting that, but we had I think the best performance tonight that we had thus far. I wouldn't want to leave on any other note but this way," Milian said.
"I'm just very proud of Christina, we worked really hard, she was great tonight. We went out with a bang," her partner Mark Ballas said.
Milian continued to focus on the positive, saying, "I've made some great memories, great friends here. Everybody's been fantastic. It's been something that I've learned a lot about myself just being here...If you take a challenge and you take a great risk, you become a better person."

Dedicated Physical Nameserver
cPanel® DNSONLY product allows those that utilize cPanel & WHM® software, for large hosting operations, to separate DNS from the local server, and run it within dedicated infrastructure.
Multiple servers can use DNSONLY to manage centralized DNS. Coupled with DNS Clustering, web hosting providers are able to run a high-capacity DNSONLY solution that directly integrates with cPanel & WHM® software.
During account creation, cPanel & WHM use built in automation to create zone records on the the remote DNS servers. If clustering is available, the primary nameserver automatically syncs with the secondary nameserver.
The main advantage to DNSONLY is stability and scalability:
If your web server has an outage, your DNS information stays accessible, even when your web server is offline. This allows visitors to reach websites on your server more quickly after the web server comes back online. Additionally, you can move accounts from one server to another without your customers having to change their DNS records. For these reasons, DNSONLY is optimal for web hosts running multiple servers.
Installation of DNSONLY:
cPanel DNSONLY should only be installed on dedicated physical nameservers with no previous content on them. All machines in your DNS cluster must be running cPanel or cPanel DNSONLY version 11 or higher. Some features may not work with older versions of cPanel. The DNSONLY product is free of charge.

1998 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK320 2dr Coupe
My CLK 320 is truly a great automobile. First off, I bought it for myself on my 32nd birthday. What a gift. It handles extremely well in suburban driving even on roads that are slightly bumpy it feels quite smooth. On new pavement it is a dream. The V6 is very capable and is very quick. There hasn't been anyone who has been able to stay with me from a dead stop at a stoplight. It is sooo quick and smooth. I would recommend it. If you are purchasing a used one look for rust toward the front of the door jams and the trunk deck lid where key would go in. Great car.

1998 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK320 2dr Coupe
This was my first Mercedes Benz and
overall I would definitely purchase
another one. The car is sporty, fun to
drive and very reliable. It has
excellent acceleration and braking is a
breeze. The ABS certainly works!!
When I first got, it there were a lot
of jealous looks in the neighborhood as
few of them were around. Now they are
quite prevalent, but still look
fabulous. This is a softer ride than
the BMW's, but not as soft as say a
Lexus. It's the right balance of
sportiness and comfort for me.

Murray Jailed After Guilty Verdict
Doctor convicted of involuntary manslaughter in death of Michael Jackson.
Dr. Conrad Murray has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson.
Gasps from the courtroom gallery were heard as the verdict was read.
The jury took just nine hours to reach their decision.
Murray was immediately remanded into custody and taken to the Los Angeles County Jail for processing.
Prosecutors painted Murray as a reckless physician, who abandoned Jackson while he was under the effects of the powerful anesthetic Propofol.
Murray's defense blamed Jackson, claiming the singer was addicted to drugs and administered the fatal dose himself.
Murray faces up to four years in prison and the loss of his medical license.

Hockey backs 'competition within governments'
PUBLISHED: 13 Apr 2012 08:40:00 | UPDATED: 14 Apr 2012 11:32:44PRINT EDITION: 13 Apr 2012
The federal opposition has backed a call by Queensland Premier Campbell Newman to allow the states to lower taxes or cut regulation to attract investment.
"I think it's really important to have competition within Australia, even competition within governments," Mr Hockey told reporters in Sydney on Friday.
"When you've got Campbell Newman talking about greater competition and regulation, it means getting rid of regulation, making Queensland a better place to do business, and I say amen."
Mr Hockey said greater competition between states had helped Australia remove death duties and other "insidious" taxes in the past.
"Under the coalition, when we have competition, it means the best deal for consumers," he said.
"Under Labor, when they talk about centralisation, it means the worst deal for consumers."
Earlier, Queensland Premier Campbell Newman said a new push for deregulation should not stop healthy competition between state governments in attracting business.
On his first trip to Canberra as newly elected Queensland premier, Mr Newman said state governments should be able to lower taxes or cut regulation to attract business investment.
He was commenting on a federal government plan to cut red tape and unnecessary regulations.
"It sounds very seductive to say we're going to have harmonisation of regulations," Mr Newman told ABC Radio on Friday.
"But the way that funds are distributed around the states these days, you're positively penalised if you actually want to have a lower payroll tax."
Mr Newman shortly will join other state premiers and territory chief ministers for the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting.
The federal government's bid to address skills shortages will be high on the agenda.
Labor has put an extra $1.75 billion on the table for the states in a bid to overcome skill shortages.
In return, states will have to adopt reforms such as the harmonisation of courses across Australia.
A proposal to give state and territory governments a bigger say in environmental approvals to fast-track major projects will also be a focus.
The reform was the key outcome of the inaugural meeting of the COAG Business Advisory Forum, which brought together the prime minister, business chiefs and premiers.
The business forum proposal would slash the "green tape" by negotiating new federal-state arrangements and national standards.
NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell is looking forward to a change in the political numbers around the COAG table on Friday.
The four largest states - NSW, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia - have non-Labor governments.
"One of the consequences is that rather than Labor using the numbers to push through motherhood statements, we actually focus on delivering real results," he told reporters on his way into Parliament House.
Mr O'Farrell agreed the states should be competitive against each other instead of having a one-size-fits-all approach across the country.
"It should always be left to the states to set the rate of individual taxes," he said, adding it was good for business because it offered them a range of options.
Northern Territory Chief Minister Paul Henderson dismissed Mr Newman's approach, saying the Queensland premier was trying to make a name for himself.
ACT Chief Minister Katy Gallagher will use the COAG meeting to reveal plans to partner with neighbouring NSW councils to boost collective buying power.
She will present a case study in trans-border cooperation, telling other leaders that Canberra's role as a regional centre increasingly will be a priority for the territory.

Reynard Corporation is dedicated to providing solutions by offering engineering design support for customized optics and precision opto-mechanical assemblies to customers worldwide and in a variety of market segments.
We understand that our customers have different quality needs and stringent requirements, so we work closely to meet the expectations of our customer's needs from initial design services through to fabrication, coating, assembly, and final testing. These services are available whether the need is for a single optical element or a complete optical system.
The thin film design software used by Reynard Corporation is tuned to match the deposition process of our customized vacuum coating systems. Hence, the deposition output is a close approximation of the theoretical design. Our design team will generate a manufacturable performance curve at no cost when you provide your custom requirements.
Allowing our design team to be involved at the early stages of your optical system design can help reduce your system complexity and cost. Requesting optics as a final step in a system design can lead to an optical component being very difficult and expensive to produce. By knowing your system level requirements in advance, we can optimize the thin film design to be production ready. Further, we may be able to help reduce the number of optical elements required in your system by combining multiple optical functions into a single device, or suggest design trade-offs such as switching reflection and transmission to enhance performance.
Reynard can provide environmental and durability testing per several MIL- specs, including MIL-STD-13830B and MIL-PRF-48497A. Testing includes adhesion (tape and calibrated tensile), abrasion (moderate and severe), temperature, humidity, and salt/fog. Measurement service includes interferometric and spectral testing, resistance testing, microscopy, profilometery, and dimensional testing.
We offer services to mount or fixture optical elements into frames or fixtures prior to shipping. Optics are fully tested against customer requirements prior to assembly. Assembled products help protect delicate optics from damage during shipping and make it easier for integration into higher level assemblies.
We have the capability to support your needs for electrical, optical, mechanical hardware and can develop programming interfaces and controls. Internally we can design customized fixtures specific for your system.
Custom optical components, thin film coatings, photolithography and optical and mechanical fabrication.

Pars is a Seattle painter and illustrator who has created a world peopled by wide-faced, hooded characters that are sinister, yet endearing. In The Floral Derangement series of enamel on glass, the Parskids (who look like adorable mutant jellyfish in papooses) are busy growing flowers from their stomachs, or displaying floral entrails. The situations grow darker in the Pleasant Monstrosities series and are downright dire in the Pasty Dark grouping. Pars is also a doll maker - the plush Parskids wear handpainted anguished faces.
