, the nomination of sharon gleason.on. ms. murkowski: thank you, madam president. this is a big day for us in alaska in kwrarbg's legal his -- in alaska's legal history. the senate is considering the nomination of sharon gleason. sharon is the first woman to be nominated for united states district court judge in alaska. she is an outstanding nominee and i regard it as a privilege to speak in support of her nomination today. sharon gleason is a native of rochester, new york. she earned her bachelor's degree from washington university in st. louis. she received her law degree from the university of california-davis. upon graduation from davis, sharon was elected to the order of the coif, which is the national legal honor society, and then following her graduation, she clerked for edmund burke, who was the chief justice of the alaska supreme court. this was the beginning of an exceptional legal career in the state of alaska for sharon gleason. after 17 years in private practice, sharon was selected to serve on the alaska s

bye. >> come in gleason. there's about ten people out there already. >> all right. 10-4. >> we're getting a live play-by-play. it doesn't get any better than that. >> far from the open air drug markets on the west side, more and more high level dealers are setting up shop in the suburbs. >> this is prime real estate. prime real estate. >> one successful female dealer has been catering to users out here for years. >> apparently she owns several houses and cars. all she does. that's how she supports her family. talking to the informant, he says if we arrest her she will flip. >> their informant nixon already set up one narcotic buy between the officer and the target. he's skittish about bringing them together a second time and insists on doing the handoff himself. >> all right. i got a white chevy coming on to austin. i think that's her. it's the target. >> nixon is behaving suspiciously but they will play along with him for now. >> target is driving northbound, austin. >> we got the -- >> he came out of the ca

european crisis is our main problem and we also face problems in our migration policy up this largely gleason's migration in countries such as turkey more than fifty percent of turkish immigrants don't want to integrate into modern society they don't want to learn the language and organize parallel and opposing structures the activities of radical islamists have become visible in our society they hinder its your peaceful and democratic development in this sense we are certainly a political force that comes out against any such radicalization of the selflessly you states refused to work with your policy when it was in power five years ago what will be different this time is covered if it is out but i think that europe is living through turning point in its development because just as the whole world is getting through a turning point and a period of democratization i assume that before the coming elections in europe not only in austria but also in france with belgium italy and germany will cause a wave of wrath and pressure people are going to give vent to their rage on longstanding parties at t

holding rules i think that the the euro should strengthen as well now that the issues over you know gleason really seem to be resolving them selves and expect that the new euro would strengthen a bit against the other dollar on the back over strengthening the oil you know which tends to you know strengthen in line with a stronger euro weaker dollar. i would look again at russian oil companies arkansas believe in assume that have to gas and tap left i would be ones that would benefit from this in a strengthening oh woe price oh look at those as well capsize and talks to acquire a stake in the arctic liquefied natural gas project led by russia's gas producer nova tech the your mouth projects are expected to produce five million tonnes of l.n.g. a year when production begins in twenty sixteenth's and then boost that threefold qatar's energy minister mohammed al sabah says the country is keen to take. up on is very much interested in the investment. generally and you can read as it can you can see me among peers. and important context and we are really interested in. being. part of the speaker

off the table say me appears to be the case maybe who got to have a bit more support amongst the gleason his party who are very very unhappy about this is definitely in their cynicism about these announcements that they make when it comes to talking to itself in the path of policy i mean make no mistake they are incredibly popular a lot of people here in the country is saying is that to be quite honest even maintaining the saw as we see here in greece and then is proving pretty difficult the danger with the current situation is that once. the possibility of. them it gets withdrawn. there's a danger of a reaction against the political class is a bit. of discussion and if there's some sort of shift. to the referendum. thing at the moment is this whitening gap between the rest right this coming from the government here and the they need is the reality on the ground in the country we also spoke with gerald celente director of the trends research center who said that you leaders are just using greece as a scapegoat for their own bigger mistakes the whole european union is in great danger list

entry, mike gleason is going to be on the point, followed by moose. >> did you ever think about you woulde doing this? >> crazy thing is, love somehow you justify things you would never do. things maybe you don't even believe in and i have crossed lines that i thought i would never cross to help him. >> police make a successful hit. they take their target into custody and recover the narcotics and paraphernalia they hoped for, thanks to cash. >> the guy was great. probably one of the best informants i've ever worked with on the street. >> even so, there's no guarantee that cash's efforts will pay off for his boyfriend tango who still has to convince the state's attorney that he'll go clean if he's given a second chance. >> my thought is, is he going to get back out there and use again? if you look at true addicts that are really resourceful, they usually have set up safety nets and surrounded themselves with enablers. it almost appeared as if that's what was going on. so we got to see his boyfriend doing anything he can to help a guy who's probably been arrested five or six times. i think

this was bogart with a cigarette, jacque gleason. now it's not cool and that's because of the trend, no advertising on television this and that. so here you have a presidential candidate who decides to run an ad with this guy, you know like this. i go what is that? i think it was an absolute lapse in good judgment. >> first of all, i don't think he decided. i know both of them and i think the campaign manager just did this on his own. it was an internet ad. >> bill: you can't tell me herman cain didn't see this ad going out. >> i'm sure he didn't see it going out. i'm sure now he has seen t has gotten a million hits. >> bill: if he hasn't seen it going out on the air. >> it's not a tv commercial. it's an internet ad. >> he ended the ad with a grin. >> one in five americans smoke. it's their choice. >> bill: i have no beef with that i'm not saying you make tobacco illegal. i'm saying if you are in a position of leadership, you don't do anything to encourage smoking. you do nothing to encourage it. i say if you are in a position of lea

you have ralph fiennes, colin farrell and brandon gleason in it.box fairy tale quality. more people should see it. >> you're saying that's better than "mcgruber"? >> angioplasty is better than "mcgruber". >> when you're mad, especially with an e-mail, take a break before you write. do you ever think about that. you walk out of the movie and you're so furious that it was so bad, do you pause before you write? >> you have to think about something before you write. but some movies marinate in the anger and become even more seasoned. you think, this is really bad. i see a lot of good movies, too. let's talk up the good as well. some movies, you hope people aren't suckered into seeing them. >> do you ever ask for your money back? >> no. you get revenge back in other ways. >> i like that you have an entire section to in this case cage movies. >> the man is a genre unto himself. he's a great actor. leaving las vegas, he's great. because of his problems with the irs. he owes them so much money he's been forced into doing terrible movies. yet he's still gre

those votes will be the confirmation of gleason and rogers nominations. if there are no further business to come before the senate, i ask that it adjourn under the previous order. the presiding officer: the senate stands adjourned until 2:00 p.m. on monday, november 14. >> extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. [applause] and let remind you also, that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. >> earlier today senators rejected a bid that would advance the resolution offered by kentucky senator rand paul dealing with the epa's position on cross-state air pollution. senators needed a simple majority to proceed to the measure but fell short by a vote of 41-56. here's a look at that debate now. it's 40 minutes. >> i rise today in support of ris clean air, clean water,r, electricity and jobs. i t i think we can have a clean environment and jobs but not ifwe we let this administrationue continue to pass job-killing regulations. these new regulations will cross over $2 billion over a course ofade o the decade or more, may wellwell exceed $100 b

as jackie gleason would said. -- would say. description about how and why we came up with that. we want it to be simple 9-9-9. we wanted to be transparent. there are no hidden9's. [laughter] we wanted it to be efficient so we have -- don't have to spend billions of dollars just to file and we wanted it to be fair, not fair according to washington's definition of fair but according to webster's definition of fair treated the same, no loopholes,secondly, we are often introduce another component for government to tax us on, the national sales tax. the trade-off is i am willing to fight and defend keeping the national sales tax rate at 9% in place of throwing out an 82,000-page tax code that allows the government to try and pick winners and losers, that allows the government through the irs to harass us and those of you who have ever been something -- through something like that know what i'm talking about. the idea is we want to broaden the base. if we did not end in the national tick -- sales tax fee, the only way we could generate taxes. what we have done is effectively lowered t

he ends up working for nick gleason who some of you might remember was the 26-year-old trader who bankrupt the old e bank in england, baronsback, by bet -- barons bank by betting all the assets on the japanese stock market right before an earthquake. so he had bankrupt that bank and went on the run. i believe what he did was he wrote a letter saying, i'm sorry, and put it in his desk drawer and just took off and got caught on an airplane to thailand. the guy i wrote about was his assistant and had been putting all the trades through in osaka. so he became this cowboy. everyone wanted to hire him. even though his boss went to jail, he had been handling billion dollar trades, and everyone thought he had this magic touch. so he end up working for a hedge fund which had mysterious origins, became one of the biggest traders in tokyo. it's funny because that book, "ugly americans," was one of my favorite books that i wrote. wall street read it, but nobody else read it. it became this ex-pat book, and i go to asia, and every trader has a copy of it on their desk, and i love that. but it's a crazy
