and the lead-off double by wes helms really hurting.nd now the marlins with hanley ramirez, and you know what he'll be trying to do. he'll be trying to hit a home run to make this a 4-2 game. he'll be facing julian tavarez and ron villone is going to be tagged with the go-ahead run here. the marlins manufactured it with a double, a sacrifice and a fly ball. it will be julian tavarez trying to keep ramirez in the park and the nats in the game. e content to sit around and wait. wait for something to happen. for business to pick up. but for you, it's time to kick it in gear. time to get going. time to get tough. take control. you're not gonna run and hide. because backing down's not your style. grab your bag. it's on. ( ding ) to give people great, fresh beer. oh, he insists upon quality. everything's got to be a+. over the years i've been in stores all over the country just checking on the freshness and the quality of sam adams. right from the beginning, here he is, the owner of the whole company, coming in, rolling up his sleeves and doi

it's the veteran wes helms. pitch in the dirt scooped by wieters. 1-0. >> buck: wes helms has been a good good pinch-hitter for fredi gonzalez. 7-20 as a pinch-hitter. >> jim: helms 33 years old. he and ross gload each 33. they're the elder statesmen of the position players on this team. both sfeans season veterans. they come off the bench. helms is in his 11th season and it's his second stint as a marlin. he came up with the braves. went to milwaukee. came to florida. then he wept to the phillies for a year and then came back to florida. >> buck: ease paille played third base. he's played first base. kind of a pretty consistent, productive bat off the bench. >> jim: slowly hit towards shortstop. andino has one play to first. he gets it there to get wes helms. two men down. runners advance. ross to third and baker to second. that will turn the lineup over again. and chris coghlan with a chance for a couple of rbi's. it's been a tough night for albers. second inning of work. he's allowed two runs. one of those un

wes helms facing ron villone. >> nolasco gets a 3-0 count, he works himself back to get the 3- 2 pitch. right down the first-base line. ends up going to second base. they pinch-hit de aza, coghlan sacrificed perfectly to first. get the runner over, get him in. sacrifice fly deep enough to be able to put that runner on the board. tavarez walks cantu, he walks uggla, then he walks cody ross, as you're going to see right here, three walks. hanley ramirez ends up scoring, that was all she wrote. the two runs makes it 4-2, they get eight hits, we get six hits. we scored early, set the two spot in the second inning. looks good at scott olsen pitched very well. >> nolasco had beaten the nationals the opening game of the season. scott olsen had lost to florida in the second game of the season. nolasco continues his mastery. he gets his fifth win. nunez gets the save. villone 3-5 now, tagged with the loss for washington. ramirez and bonifacio had good nights for the florida marlins, they win by a score of 4-2. so close and yet so far. >> all 'boils down to hitting. we just hadn't sustained an o

there is absolutely no reason that we can't move for through in a hurry, and put her at the helm of this agency as the chairman has pointed out. she has a lot of challenges. we have increased the budget significantly. there will be a lot of people hired and there is probably no one better qualified to manage all of this then inez tenenbaum, so i adeptness support her and i look forward to her confirmation. >> thank you senator demint and we understand some point he may join us here on the committee and we would love to have that in senator graham you are certainly welcome to stick to run but we understand have a theory heavy schedule. senator hutchison's join this. would you like to say anything before we turn it over to where one and only witness today? >> no mr. chairman, i would like to hear from her and then i will incorporate my opening statement to my questions. thank you very much. >> inez tenenbaum you come very highly recommended. we appreciate your interest in public service in your willingness to take on this agency and all of its very, very important tasks and responsibilitie

i look forward to our contact in the future knowing full well that we have an able skipper at the helm and i congratulate you. >> thank you, senator. senator dorgan. >> thank you. i'm going to support both nominees. mr. mcsdou el, of course, is nominated for a second term, and i'm pleased to support him. and let me associate myself with remarks from the senator of nebraska. you have a perfect background to assume the chairmanship and i would be happy to vote for you. let me say, however, it seems to me you will lead a rather unhealthy agency. we've been through a period of substantial secrecy. some of the research studies don't match someone's impression of what should have come out of the studies. a lot of serious questions were raised about the stewardship of the sec. i'm pleased we have an opportunity now for a new direction. mr. copps has done a fine job in an acting capacity. but, you know, we need more transparency, more openness in policy development. you're going to have to develop a national broadband plan, which is a big, big issue and has so many important considerations. po

there's absolutely no reason that we can't move her through in a hurry and put her at the helm of this agency as the chairman has pointed out. has a lot of challenges. we have increased the budget significantly. there'll be a lot of people hired and there's probably no one better qualified to manage all of this than inez tenenbaum. i definitely support her to the committee and look forward to her confirmation. >> thank you, senator demint and at some point you would join us on the committee we would love that and senator graham you're welcomed to stick around. senator hutchison has joined us. would you like to say anything before we turn it over to our one and only witness today? >> no, mr. chairman. i'd like to hear from her and then i will incorporate my opening statement spoke my question. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> inez tenenbaum you come highly recommended. we appreciate your interest in public service and your willingness to take on this agency and all its very, very important tasks and responsibilities that it has. we would be delighted to hear your opening statement.

helm. guest: well, thank you, bill. as weeak, there is a destroyer named after my father and grandfather that is tracking a north korean vessel. there is published information that it may be carrying weapons or technology that our nuclear in nature. -- that our nuclear in nature. it is common knowledge that the north koreans and iranians were working together on nuclear -- the development of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. so, north korea does pose a threat in their proliferation of nuclear weapons. the israelis had to attack and destroy a facility in syria that was being built with the assistance of the north koreans. it is a very serious situation in north korea. now, the u.n. resolution is inadequate as the kind of description i can give you because they say, we cannot afford one of these ships, but follow it into port and expect the people that are in the port to have the inspection. well, this sport is headed for me and more. me and more is not going to -- for myanmar. myanmar is not going to inspect this ship. w

we are still assessing. >> does that mean if ahmadinejad is able to remain as president u.s. is prepared to go ahead and do with the questions of nuclear station with him at the helmof the government? >> as i said before this is a very serious issue of iran acquiring nuclear weapons as we go forward we will make our decision based on u.s. national interests, and of course, we are following the situation very closely. but as the vice president said yesterday, we have made the decision in to pursue direct diplomacy through the multilateral context. >> first, with regard to the street protests and the response from the security forces, this is different from the election results because while the united states might not have a diplomatic presence or have access to the balloting and for those kind of things, you do have access to the media and you are seeing a stark imagery on your television screen where the protest and security forces are concerned. how would you characterize what you have seen so for the way the forces have iran taste of iran have handled the protest? >> what we have seen so far it gives us deep concerns. >> why? >> i think that there has been doub

helm. i grew up in a city of the shiite muslim in iraq 10 kilometers from of chief we played with ancient civilization steadied by the lights of the historic mosque from the summer heat to the shrine to power its behind it. said the pilgrim from across the middle east were for every day child who had trials and chileans of my siblings and me. my family was characterized by a passionate for both politics and religion. my mother was a muslim and my father was a communist and you can imagine the conflict as a kid brought up by these two polarizing believes. foreigners may not know that iraq used to have a strong communist party. it was highly educated country and whenever you have education you use what you have been even though communist ideology was in many ways similar to the path party ideology it represents a threat to saddam hussein power. so he crashed for communists like my father the choice was to flee the country, joined the ba'ath party or to be killed. so my father forfeited his politics and his intellect and the social identity and challenging his impotence and anchor and the disenchantment

helm. that's the only, that's what i would like to know. >> guest: well, thank you, bill. as we speak there is a u.s. ship -- in fact, happens to be the destroyer named after my father and grandfather that's tracking a north korean vessel that there is published information that may be carrying weapons or technology that are nuclear in nature. now, it's common knowledge in testimony last week in the senate that the north koreans and iranians were working together on nuclear, on the development of or nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. so north korea does pose a threat in their proliferation of nuclear weapons. the israelis had to attack and destroy a facility in syria that was being built with the assistance of the north koreans. some very serious situations in north korea. now the u.n. resolution is inadequate is the kind of description i can give you because they say that they, that they, we cannot board one of these ships but follow it into port and expect the people who run the port to have the inspection. well, this ship that we're talking about or at least one of 'em i

we welcome that, too, today. madam secretary, when i was in the legislature i served with a fellow by the name of harvey do helm who was a retired dairy farmer, on lee as a basset hound on a bad day. [laughter] and he was probably the best human being i ever served with anywhere. and one of the things he always said he said you know one of the problems with this country is all too often the poor and the rich get the same amount of i support it there's in the wintertime, and it is my understanding that you have the outrageous view that can change, and it's my understanding that you are coming in here today intending to do something very radical, which is to try to provide health care coverage for every american and i would like to know where you get that crazy idea. because it seems to me that we have already seen hundreds of billions of dollars go out the door to help strengthen banks and insurance companies and auto companies under both president bush and under president obama, but now evidently you have the the outrageous goal to come in here thinking we have socialism for big people we ought to provide at least

dissipationate way, that we have -- dispassionate way -- all of that aside, my question is, what about the outlier demographics. i remember with i have came to capitol hill, jesse helms received about 48% of the black vote in north carolina in his last election, that is incongruence. in my home state of missouri, senator kit bonds received about 40% of the african-american vote as a conservative white republican. what i don't get and how it fits into this debate, what we would call outlier behavior fit into the analysis of what makes a balanced representation in these districts. >> on the precise issue of racially polarized voting, it's flexible an dynamic definitions. brendan had one definition in the squiggles plural and the lower courts have been vowing welling it ever since. the default things is one that rick and abbey alluded to is there are significant difference. one test is would he won the election if only black people had voted, so even in your example of 48%, that would still be considered racial live polarized voting. he got 40% of the black vote but 60% went to his opponent. so the minority preferred candidate is his opponent and even the significant in
