our subject this evening is neurological disorders, these include parkinson's disease, stroke, huntington'sisease and spinal cord injury. these conditions have taught us more about our brain than any other kind of brain disease. through parkinson's, we have learned about movement. through stroke, we have learned about speech. and through spinal cord injuries, we have learned how thoughts give rise to actions. neurological diseases have been a topic of research for centuries. but only recently have we developed effective treatments. this evening we will meet a group of scientists who have developed ws to repair or bypass the dirdered ain. john donahue. his work allowed paralyzed patients to move and communicate using only their thoughts and a machine called a brain-computer interface. he is a professor at brown university and the cofounder of a company called cybernetics. john krakower. his work explores how the brain explores movement and how movement is recovered following a stroke. he is an associate professor of neurology and neuroscience at columbia. nancy banini. she subjects the genet

finally, $5.5 million to repair a sinkhole that's occurring in huntington county, pennsylvania, that is going to pose a serious risk to the traveling public in huntington county, pennsylvania, and those people that cross that road. it would create 167 jobs. these projects will create jobs. they'll improve our infrastructure. and most importantly they'll improve safety. i ask my colleagues on the other side to stand up for this today and say let's stop this silliness. let's stop spending $20 million on these signs that aren't creating jobs and nothing more than propaganda. i ask them to support my colleague, mr. schock. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgotsche: thank you, madam speaker. i'm confused. i don't know whether the gentleman supports the stimulus package or opposes the stimulus package. on one hand pennsylvania is one of the top recipients of aid from the american recovery and reinvestment act. a lot of bridges are being repaired. highways being fixed. does the gentleman want to take that money back? does he t

his accomplishments are not sum of miions of dollars he brought back to cities like huntington and wheelingillions of families he brought out of same poverty that he endured. on the last day of his life, on the last day of his lfe, robert byrd felt just as strongly about the principle i just mentioned as he did the very first time he rose to speak as a state legislator in this beautiful state capitol building behind us. in that speech, which of course he memorized before delivering, he said, quote, to me the dollar is secondary. human misery and suffering and welfare of the helpless and depebd ent children come first. he was teaching us from day one and he never stopped that doesn't mean he didn't also love his remarkae records of public service because he did. rankings will forever be his and never be surpassed. he was surely proud of it. i have no doubt right now, robert byrd is bowing his head, looking down from the heavens and saying, 57 years, five months, 26 days.

huntington, west virginia, go ahead.aller: for the president to rebound -- which is kind of confusing because i have looked at the polls, and i don't see there has been a major drop. i am surprised by c-span for reporting that. but he has to reinforce how much of obstructionists the republicans have really been. they have used every political maneuver to obstruct, to deny. that is why health care took so long. there would not even take a vote for three days. on top of that, it was the bush administration that did not prosecute the new, black panthers. you have to start calling people out for the truth, c-span. you cannot let people continue to live. they live every day, and you do not stop them. host: we will stop right there. we want to let you know that in a few minutes we will be talking about the 2010 midterm gail russell chaddock elections of the christian science monitor and reid wilson of hot line on call. first, i want to show you a piece from c-span video journalist who went on a helicopter tour of the deepwater

>> jeff rose with huntington bank. i want to compliment you for the leadership that you have brought to the sba. i have been this business for 25 years and is run better than it has ever been run in my career. my question is around timing. a number of bus bar probably wondering the same thing. you talk a little bit about the queues and additional stimulus. is there anything that we can do to help move things forward quicker as an industry or any thoughts on your mind about the timing about moving forward? >> as you know, i would not ask you to lobby for to do any of that. in fact, the president has been asking for a small business jobs bill before congress. i think he talked about it at the state of the union. we are very eager for these activities to become part of what we can execute. we think that we work hard to make and cost effective. right now, there are a number of bills and a lot of them have passed the house and a lot of them are before the senate and we are hopeful that those will come to pass very quickly.
