mark twain was one of the legions of writers who sailed the ocean in 1885.he wrote about his travels and critics have compared the aging twain state of mind to this stretch of water where ancient sail ways were motionless by a windless void. twain called it a trap and a place of horrible stillness. no compass had any value, he wrote. when the come pos enters one of these be witched domains, it goes insane in worlds this way and that and settles nowhere and is scared and distressed and cannot be comforted. we are far beyond the compass of our technology. yet we wind up at the same place and try to discern what happened to the passengers and crew of this sophisticated aircraft. operational security and the fear of starting a diplomatic row have compelled u.s. aviation experts on the scene to defer to malaysian authorities. conversely china and vietnam hasn't hesitated to show displeasure at the erratic conduct of the investigation in kuala lumpur. if we ever find flight 370, there is much to be learned. meanwhile it has become the twilight zone of our imaginin

maybe better express by mark twain, who reportedly said history doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme. i feel like that here. the challenge in maybe what motivates me is what will determine the kind of first two categories is it going to be much better or no, it's going to be much worse. the first category seems like optimist or pessimist. for me, it's you are less likely to get the best out of it to develop the best responses if you are stuck in a strange brew that we have right now of fear and ignorance mixed together. that's not the best way to govern, that is not the best way to develop and run our business and handle your own personal life and there is no issue that has become more important in recent years that is left understood -- less understood than cybersecurity and the cyber war. so for me there was a need for a primer that tried to hit that sweet spot between there's been a lot hurricane, but it's been either highly technical or at the other side eighth had this feeling of spinal tap turned the volume to 11, gets scared and by the way trust me to get the solution for you.

she was a multiple mark twain once said that rumors of his death would greatly exaggerated while many media outlets are also sounding the alarm over russian intervention in the ukraine despite a no decision to send reinforcements to crimea with headlines claiming that thousands of russian troops are flying the crimean peninsula or even saying russia has taken over the region. at this hour. it appears russian military forces are crossing the border into neighboring ukraine and russia is animal in pain it's a russian military helicopters and planes air intake in ukraine the russians have already flown in forces into with the crimean into southern ukraine. i spoke about said this in media frenzy when international affairs expert martial both a blessing growing up this picture comes from cnn's report and ear cleaning doubt these are russian tanks there in ukraine despite official denials of this report. how can you come in on this one again. well of course these things that we see there are not in some basketball in the ukraine where they actually are taking place is in russian military e

of course in nevada, mark twain was born. samuel clemens adopted the famous pen name while covering the enterprise in virginia city. twain wrote eloquent by about nevada from the rough and tumble attitude of the wild west to its beauty dubbing it. more recently, i think of paul laxalt, former lieutenant governor and united states senator for nevada. he was instrumental in preserving lake tahoe, establishing our state's first community colleges and our medical school. or former representative barbara vucanovich who will be recorded in the history books to be the first woman to represent nevada in the united states senate. this remark is not only achievement but the integrity with which she fulfilled her duties makes her achievement grander. bill raggi also comes to mind, a true statesman, longest serving member in the nevada state senate. these people left their mark but it is the people of nevada who formed the silver state. during the formation of our state's constitution, nevadans demanded our mothers and sisters be heard.

speaker, mark twain once said that history doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme. well, russia's quite the poet these days. in 2008 russia invaded georgia. confiscated 1/3 of that nation's territory. the world watched. complained a little bit. the world moved on. there were no consequences. and the russians, mr. speaker, are still there. again, second verse, same as the first. the napoleon of siberia has invaded ukraine and seized crimea. putin is bent on establishing a soviet-style empire and allegedly uniting russian-speaking people throughout the world. who knows who his next target will be? it could be our friends in maldovea, the rest of ukraine, or estonia. russia has been able to maintain dominance over the region because of its vast energy sources, especially natural gas. six countries in europe rely 100% on russia for their natural gas. russia uses gas as a political and economic weapon to manipulate these countries. i was in ukraine in winter when russia turned off the gas for political reasons. it was cold. it was dark. this bill helps disarm that hostag

mark twain himself wrote an article in harper's magazine, i believe in 1895, that said while the jew great civil servant, he neglected to stand but for the flag, and this was the reason the jewish war veterans, for example, was formed in 1896 to show that jews, for one, did fight, and we were at the very front and forefront of combat in the civil war and in subsequent wars afterward. >> ifill: when we see this kind of recognition today, to you there's a broader meaning to it? >> it's a great day, i think, for all americans. i mean, it shows once and for all that there's recognition that ethnic minorities in the united states are just as much american, just as patriotic as anyone else and that they do, in fact, fight, defend their country, they are patriotic and they are right there at the very front lines doing what is expected of them to do and more. >> well, i think that ceremony was truck by how emotional it was, especially by some of the surviving family members and makes me wonder whether recognition like this, especially after so many of them have passed on, can come too late?

madam speaker, a famous storyteller, mark twain said, never let the truth get in the way of a good story and for proponents of the keystone x.l.line, they're painting an awfully rosey picture while completely ignoring the truth of the extraordinary damage it could cause. transcanada, the canadian company that wants to build keystone x.l., claims the pipeline is safe. but this is the same company that operates the existing keystone pipeline, which spilled a dozen times in the first year of operation. the worst spill released 21,000 gallons of oil in north dakota, contaminating local soil and water. transcanada claims that significant spills will be few and far between. but engineers at the university of nebraska found that the company ignored data on spills and failed to factor in the more corrosive tar sand oil transported in keystone x.l. the engineers determined that keystone x.l. could have as many as 91 oil spills over the life of the pipeline. this concerns me because keystone x.l. will run through 2,000 miles of american farmland and over our country's argest water ack which fire -

there's no praf that mark a twain ever said that he want ed to be in kentucky when he died. but we are culturally slower to accept such things partly because, as the polling indicated, there's strong opposition among evangelicals. i would say black evangelicals, too. and kentucky is a plurality state. times are changing. this week a bill to have a statewide anti-gay discrimination law got its first hearing in the legislature. the more interesting aspect of this may have been the governor's position. the governor and the attorney general are independently elected. the governor is the attorney general's client. the governor in deciding to appeal on his own with privately hired lawyers is doing two things. and i presume there's some political calculus that went into this. he's acting in the interest of his son who is running for attorney general in 2015. >> a the son of the democratic governor wants to run for attorney general. >> and i think more importantly for democrats as a whole, he is protecting the democratic brand in the state. obama has damaged the democratic brand in

maybe better expressed by mark twain who reportedly said history doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme. i feel like that here. the challenge and maybe what motivates me is that what will determine those kind of first two categories of is it going to be much better or, no, it's going to be much worse, you know, the first two categories basically seem like optimist or pessimist. for me it's you are less likely to get the best out of it, to develop the best responses if you are stuck in a, the strange brew that we have right now of fear and ignorance mixed together. that's not the best way to the govern. that's not the way to develop, to run our business. that's not the best way to handle your own personal life. and this, there's no issue that has become more important in recent years that's less understood than cybersecurity and cyber war. and so that's, for me, there was this aching need for a primer in it that tried to hit that sweet spot between, you know, look, there's been a lot written, but it's been either highly technical, or at the other side,
