i think on behalf of jackson state university who are the home for the jackson her study. i do have slides, they will illustrate points but if you can't turn iran and look at them and i think the text will cover of my points adequately. since larger derange of the topic health disparities is covered by several speakers and i will restrict my remarks to research principally for the checks in her study and some reasonable implications of that research. as has been said, is the largest single site longitudinal study of cardiovascular health undertaken thus far and sponsored by the national institutes of health. it is you need to examine cycle social, metabolic and senate influence on carter resco disease and also they will to compare our data with a suitably designed studies and other groups and should be remembered the representation is a work in progress so much of what i say will describe results, and also doesn't treat its participants, it is a longitudinal study. to tell you what i will be telling you the main point will be the following. early results from our strutted

michael jackson loved america. he was truly a story that came from the very dreams that americans have. starting in the very bowels of the city called gary, indiana, living in a two-bedroom house, but having risen to the highest ped stalls of entertainment after. he was the king of pop and a quiet man, a man who loved to give back and a humanitarian. for those of us who remember the words of "we are the world," one of the first songs of bringing people together to be able to emphasize that we have the responsibility to others. and then the song of "man in the mirror," we can make a difference. born in 1958 in gary, indiana, he was one of the jackson 5. but he was a father, someone who would bring a face to america. i intend to introduce a resolution in honor of michael jackson, because we believe in the good and he was good. he saw our soldiers and foult against hiv-aids. he wanted to show that he cared and he did. it is my pleasure to have hosted michael jackson on capitol hill in 2004 when he came to stand agains

jackson: madam speaker, if there is a god -- >> the house is not in order. mr. jackson: if there is a god, and i believe there is, and that god distributes grace and mercy and talent to all of his children, on august 29, 1958, he visited gary, indiana, and touched a young man with an abundance of his blessings. with that gift that young man, michael jackson would touch and change the world. his heart couldn't get any bigger. and yesterday, it arrested. i come to the floor today on behalf of a generation too -- generation to thank god for letting all of us live in his generation and his era. with that, we ask members to please stand for a moment of silent. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, five-minute voting will continue. the unfinished business is the vote on ordering the previous question, house resolution 587, oen which the yeas and nays were ordered. the clerk will report the title of the resolution. the clerk: house calendar 182, house resolution 587, provide for creating clean energy jobs, creating energy independence, and transition to a clean e

iize in support of the hastings-rogers-jackson lee amendment. i appreciate their willingness to work with me on this important amendment. we have towered the homeland security sites that have had canines and heard from airports who say give me one good dog and we provide security. t.s.a.'s canine teams are important and effective tools for securing all modes of transportation in the united states. the use of canine teams has managed what few security measures can boast. they are well liked. our committee worked hard to re-affirm our support for canine teams in explosion detection. i'm proud to have led these efforts. this amendment rounds out these important provisions as we speak, t.s.a. continues its work meeting the 100% cargo screening requirement established by the 9/11 act. let me indicate that i'm very proud of the language we have about 100% cargo screening. it is one that we worked with the department of homeland security. we worked with mr. markey. we worked with our chairman and our ranking member of both committees, the subcommittee

first is on the democratic line, butch from jackson, wyoming. >> caller: yes, good morning. the discussion about the puerto rico status territory. number one, we've got. health care should be a right, not a profit. number two, we should discuss taxing church property. churches should be helping with health care. i don't understand why and number three, education for doctors is costing too much to become a doctor. we should be able -- the government should be able to pay for the health care by them volunteering into rural areas so that we can have health care. i would like to ask you a question, have you ever seen the movie "sicko"? >> guest: no, i haven't. >> caller: with michael moore. he took three people that volunteered during 9/11 and helped find bodies, he took them to gitmo because the prisoners over there with so-called terrorists are getting better health care than american citizens. .. i went in one of those trips, health care services in cuba are not our model. we should not be looking toward cuba for that. i believe we have excellent health care professionals in

jackson lee: thank you. thank you very much, mr. speaker, and i thank you for your language of yielding to me and your leadership as well. let me acknowledge the very hard work that was accomplished by the foreign affairs committee of the house, chairman berman and subcommittee chairman ackerman, and say that we did the right thing today. by passing the pakistan enduring assistance and cooperation enhancement act, the american people have made a few more steps toward their own personal security, their own ensuring the security of the homeland and recognizing a long-standing relationship that has had its hills and valleys. many of us don't know the history of other countries and obviously we have our own wonderful history. but interestingly enough, when pakistan was founded by what has been -- a person who has been known to be called dr. j inner, it was founded on principles. we've had a long standing relationship, although it has been uneven. so today we have restored that relationship and i hope pakistani-americans, our own embassy

jackson lee: thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the chair will entertain requests for one-minute speeches. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from california rise? >> to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. will the house please be in order. will the members please take their conversations out of the chamber, please. the house will be in order. . . the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman may proceed. ms. sanchez: madam speaker, it is of great sadness that i rise to pay tribute to sergean rowe, a devoted husband and father was a constituent of mine from whittier, california. this brave american was killed in afghanistan on may 26, 2009, on the 15th anniversary of his service in the military. sergeant rowe was killed by an i.e.d. the 33-year-old leaves behind his seven-year-old son and wife cindy. my thoughts and prayers go out to cindy and andrew and find some sole ace in the gratitude that our nation owes to sergeant rowe. he spen

jackson. my grandmother and grandfather were true sons and daughters at that time of the king and queen because jamaica was then a colony of great britain. however, their dignity allowed them to know that jamaica could be a free and democratic nation and through the leadership of those in jamaica who recognized that it could be a free nation, they secured their freedom and what a celelbratory time that was. i want to acknowledge so many prime ministers but former prime minister manly, former prime minister patterson, all great leaders that brought greatness to the caribbean and to acknowledge the president prime minister as he continues to work, to acknowledge the first woman prime minister as well that was in jamaica for at least a time in the last two years. we know that she's been called with great love and affection but we respect the service she has given. my grandparents left jamaica and wept to work in panama, in the panama canal, and i had the privilege of going to the panama canal for

and it starts with kobe bryant and phil jackson. jackson, who turns 64 in september, says his decision to return will be based on his health. even if kobe decides to opt out of the final two years of his contract on july 1st, the finals mvp says he's staying in l.a. >> i'm not going anywhere. no, i ain't going nowhere. just wasting our breath just talking about. you know, i like the team we have. we've got a hell of a team, man. after years and years of frustration to get to this point, you know, we got the group. now it's just about keeping this group together so we can keep on winning this thing. >> phil jackson with his coach, kobe bryant has won four titles. without shaq, he's averaging 11 fewer points and has a playoff record under .500. >> still to come late inning drama at wrigley. how one bounce capped off an improbable comeback for the cubbies. >> plus, rafael won't be standing in roger federer's way of winning a title. our expert tells >> indians at wrigley field for the first time since 1998. the year kerry woods struck o

i think he expressed his thoughts on the thoughts of michael -- on the death of michael jackson. the president often writes private letters of condolence that, based on their nature, will be kept private. >> it was a private letter. how was it sent? can you tell us about the letter? >> i do not know -- i do not know whether they got it or not. >> can we return to honduras? has president obama spoken with zelaya since the coup? >> not that i know of. >> what can they do to try to bring him back to power? >> i think you will know that working with the oas and others in the international community over the past few days, -- we were working to refer the kind of constitutional access -- constitutional actions. our goal is to restore democratic order in honduras. again, working with partners of the international community. we are focused on restoring the democratic order. >> what does that mean when you say working with the oas and the international community? calls from the present -- from the president himself? >> i do not know that he has called anyone. this will be discussed in the

and the unprecedented proposition the lakers are making to phil jackson, and how the legendary coach is responding to it next on news.

i things he expressed his thoughts on the deaths of michael jackson, and i think the president often writes private letters of condolence that based on their nature and will continue to keep private. >> did they get it already? how was it sent? >> i will refer you to the postal service. no, i honestly do not know whether they got it. >> can we tend to honduras? has president obama spoken with the president since the coup? >> not that i know of. >> what specific things is the white house doing and can it do? >> i think you all know that -- it is obviously in this morning's news report, that working with the oas and others in the international community over the past few days, we were working to avert the type of constitutional action that took place in honduras. we tried to prevent that from happening. our goal now is on restoring democratic order in honduras, again working with partners at the oas and the international community. >> without getting into the what if, what does it mean when you say working with the oas in the international community? are there calls coming in from the

ronnie belliard and he said, well, my mom bought mae red jacket just like michael jackson when i was a kid. i guess he used to wear it around. >> jim h.: popped up, center of the diamond, sherrill getting out of the way. here comes mora. to the left of the pitcher's mound he has it for the out. here's an update on the voting for the at&t player of the game. as voted on by the fans. nolan reimold with the three run home run leading with 57%, 26% for gregg zaun, matt albers 17%. tom and rick will have the results coming up on "nats xtra" post-game. >> jim p.: i think i'd split the vote tonight. if you're earl weaver, you love reimold, but how about the double play by albers turned this game around, gregg zaun with three hits. >> rob: keeping guthrie from melting down. >> jim p.: especially in the first. got him out of the first inning with the double play to belliard. >> jim h.: the double play by albers also prevented the nationals from scoring which means guthrie is still the pitcher of record and the bullpen, they love to be able to hold the lead for the starter after he leads. >> j

so shelly smith asked phil jackson the question, how do you explain it? the guy is human. it happens. even michael jordan didn't hit every shot. >> back out to orlando, man of the hour, kobe bryant. >> usually you take what the defense gives you. it seemed in that first quarter you were very aggressive and just kind of went after and it got into a rhythm. can you talk about that? >> i had some good doesn'ts, you know, and some of the spots i could be aggressive, and i got a pretty good rhythm going, knocked down a couple shots. >> next question for kobe in the back left. >> kobe, you miss more free-throws than you generally do. something going on our one of those nights? >> my rhythm was off. i just shot poorly from the charity stripe. just a bad night. >> have you been called the best closer in the game. is it weird when you can't close it out, especially at the line or big shots at the end? >> it was disappointing. i'm used to coming through in those situations. the team trusts me to come through in those situations, and it didn't happen tonight. so have to bounce back a

jackson lee: thank you very much, the gentleman from new york, and to the speaker. i reallyize how important it is to -- i realize how important it is to have these elements of science. the $1.3 billion including the $150 million to deal with space-based climate measurements is important. for those of us on the golf region, the issues dealing with -- gulf region, the issues of dealing with hurricanes and noaa is very important and the national science foundation but let us work together as we look at science in its totality to view the international space station as something we created, something we built. this massive football field that is in space is a miracle in essence. let's utilize it in a vital way by supporting our human space flight. i thank my colleagues and i ask my colleagues to support the rule. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman's time has expired. the gentleman from florida. mr. diaz-balart: thank you, mr. speaker. and i want to thank my friend, mr. arcuri, for his courtesy and all who have participated in the debate on the rule

jackson: i rise with my friend from tennessee, mr. wamp. madam chair woman, as you know, mr. wamp and i worked with you to name the main hall in emancipation hall. however, we feel that name needs context and want to work with you, the house administration committee and the senate rules committee to do this. i yield to mr. wamp. mr. wamp: madam chair woman, emans pasion means free or equal -- emancipation means free or equal. the process of emancipation liberated all americans from the bondage of slavery and emancipation hall will tell freedom story to millions of visitors each year. but there is a missing element in the hall to educate visitors about the process of emancipation that this great hall was named to honor. we would like to design and construct an educational display in the capitol visitor center that recognizes the naming of emancipation hall and provides a historical narrative of president lincoln's emancipation of slaves. madam chair woman, can you work with us to help make that happen? ms. wasserman schultz: madam speaker, reclaiming my time. i would not only

jackson lee: ask to revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. ms. jackson lee: i thank the distinguished gentleman for his leadership and really thoughtful conversation on what is a challenging time for america. i rice to support the rule -- i rise to support the rule and want to express both my support and concerns for aspects of this legislation. but i will speak to the overall, seeming overall opposition of our good friends of the other side of the aisle. and i would hope that in their deliberation they have given a thoughtful assessment of the analysis of opposition. we are dealing with some very difficult times. i opposed the war in iraq and remain opposed. i do, however, want the opportunity to be able to stand down in order to safely have our soldiers redeployed. i want to see the standing up of the iraqis and resources to allow them to proceed in their own defense and to bring our soldiers home as heroes. i also want us to make good on the promise we made to afghanistan. america is good at keeping her promise. her soldiers have never stepped

jackson: last night, mr. speaker, i tried to explain this event to my daughter when she he asked me why. i tried to tell her that african-americans fought for our country in world war ii and a holocaust survivor once told the story of how survivors of the holocaust knew they had been freed when african-americans showed up, knowing full well because of their race that they could not be nazis. even if some african-americans had to fight under a different flag. african-americans and jewish americans banded together in many of our nation's great campaigns for social justice. martin luther king jr. used to often quote a rabbi, two jews and a black, killed for registering people to vote in mississippi. stephen tyrone johns lost his life defending visitors at a holocaust museum at the handses of a why the supremacist. as i believe president lincoln would paraphrase, their sacrifice is far above our own ability to add or detract. i would hope in this moment that we would recognize that the ties for human decency and

jackson lee: i thank the speaker. i thank the distinguished chairman and the author of this legislation, the distinguished gentlelady from new york, ms. slaughter, chairman of the rules committee. i rise to simply say to this house and to america, enough is enough. i'm delighted that we have heard the majority of pro-life organizations who are americans as well to denounce this horrific act. my deepest sympathy to doctor tiller's wife and children and grandchildren, but i think it is not enough to offer our sympathy. it is a requirement that we denounce this with every fiber of our body. in addition, i think it's important as we go forward that right to life organizations learn to respect the first amendment and certainly the sanctity of a house of worepship. it is important to note that dr. tiller is not and was not a criminal, did not perform criminal acts that responded to women who willingly came into his office with the counsel of their family and their religious leader and made a decision addressing the question

jackson lee of texas. the chair: the gentlelady is recognized. ms. jackson lee: thank you, madam chair. i offer my appreciation to the appropriators, mr. price and mr. rogers, and would ask that as we make our way through this process we continue to collaborate and work on issues that will move forward the whole issue of security and safety. quickly, i would hope that as we move through conference we have an opportunity to ensure the office of risk management is in fact the lead office that analyzes the issue of risk, risk-based assessment as it relates to security. mr. chairman, chairman price, i'd like to speak to you about the transportation security authorization bill which about a week ago was passed with a new emphasis on the security of surface transportation. we know a few days ago we had an enormous tragedy here in washington, d.c. that question may have fallen upon the issue of safety. it could have been an issue of security. an issue dealing with terrorism. we know as it relates to the department of transportation, safety inspectors were r

me, many people, believe that if the statute is that explicit under the third test, under justice jackson's test, that it is in fact unconstitutional for the president and illegal, of course, for the president to override the express will of the congress. >> yeah, as i said, i think i said contra invention of,

october, reggie jackson, for 11th on the all-time list. brett gardner had his first career five-hit game. the mets one through three hitters, 0 for 12, four strikeouts. mets also made three errors in a four-run yankees second inning. meanwhile a-rod continues to climb the home run charts, passes the yankee great in reggie jackson. next up for him, rafael palmeiro who sits at 569 home runs. lakewood five behind palmeiro. >> the phillies are the ultimate paradox, a first place team that's dropped 10-12. they lead the national league in home runs, yet lead the majors in home runs allowed. they have the best road record in the majors, but can't win at home. they have one of the best leadoff hitters in baseball, but they've benched jimmy rollins as cole hamels says "we're fortunate everyone in the n.l. east is playing really bad." hamels on the found, taken out in the fifth game, has words for home plate spire mark carlton. >> he was leaving anyway. >> exactly. he was arguing balls and strikes. rickey romero dealing for the jays. no-hitter into

october, reggie jackson, for 11th on the all-time list. and brett gardner, a career high-five hits, including a home run, a triple. yankees up 9-1. if you're doing the math, 15-0, plus 9-1, 24-1 over the last -- well, it's pretty much almost two games. bottom of the ninth. yankees two outs away. highlights of this game when it goes final. >> the phillies are the ultimate paradox. they're a first place team that's dropped 10-12. they lead the n.l. in home runs, yet lead the majors in home runs allowed. they have the best road record in the majors, but can't win at home. and they have one of the best leadoff hitters in baseball, but they've benched jimmy rollins because he's batting .211. as cole hamels says "we're fortunate everyone in the n.l. east is playing really bad." hamels on the found, taken out ie the fifth game, has words fol home plate spire mark carlton. >> he was leaving anyway. >> exactly.as he was arguing balls and strikes. rickey romero dealing for the no-no in the sixth. chase utley breaks up the no-hitter. after an infield

one thing with phil jackson, he doesn't play for the media game.e's keeping games five, six, and seven in mind. he'll use him 40 minutes in game three and you'll see him resting just to keep him fresher for the later games in the series. >> and one thing that helps you defend kobe bryant is making him work at the other end, and i thought pietrus had his most aggressive game. he wasn't in the foul trouble, but he made kobe pay at every turn. kobe wants to go gamble, i'm going to make you pay when you get the basketball. if you take away the 0 for 3, pietrus was 7 for 8 on everything else, transition, postups. michael pietrus made kobe bryant have to be aware of where he is. that means he's going to be using energy on on that end of the floor, and it might not be there when you need it. pietrus, 18 points, they have to have his point production on the perimeter to off set or balance what turkoglu and howard are giving you. >> pietrus arguably his best game of the playoffs so far, maybe a little inspiration from his brother, also a professional basket
