from here it is onto memphis. foye forced to pull the trigger on a long shot, not there.ff of gilbert's leg, he lays it off to jamison who puts it it in. >> phil: they are fortunate to come up with that loose ball. >> steve: the lead is 5 after minnesota had their large effort at 7. ball is tipped defensively for brewer, he is pull the trigger and connects. arenas a lays it off, that will be the fourth turnover of the game for gilbert. flynn is fouled by butler. on caron that's his third personal. >> phil: watch him keep the ball on his right side and gets contact. he nearly got the basket. >> steve: timberwolves average about 15.5 points fast break points in the game. it's the second chance points that have hurt, 10 for minnesota and two for the wizards. large effort lead of the game for minnesota. eight points. arenas from 15, good. 11 points for gilbert. 5-11 from the field p5 rebounds, six assists, but four turnovers. >> phil: gilbert pulled up for the wide open short jumper. >> steve: jefferson guarded closely by lay. two seconds to shoot. way short. brendan has his

others have gone from memphis to new york, marvin stanley, a great flugelhorn player, went to north texas state university in education, where they've got a degree in jazz band, one of the few places in the world, mr. smith's state has a jazz band distinction. new york, bradley's, village vanguard, all those wonderful places, where you've historiccally hi been able to hear people like art blakely, i was able to see max roach in baltimore once as a jazz festival. i'm a fan of charlie parker and miles davis, great jazz musicians. i think all musicians respect miles davis, as maybe of the greatest influence on their lives regardless of whether they're rockersed on blues musicians or jazz performers. i thank the chairman for his appreciation of what's a uniquely american cultural achievement and with that the world holds dear and respects america for its appreciation of jazz, an art form that's being lost to our students that needs to be taught in our schools and maintained as a living and breathing expression of american artistry. thank you for the time, i yield back the remainder and thank

host: memphis, good morning to you, on our democrats line.y that the investors cause a lot of the spirit and a lot of people talk about subprime and people who could not -- caused a his. and a lot of people talk about subprime and people who could not afford mortgages. you could turn on the tv and everybody was talking about get rich quick schemes with these mortgages. that is a big part of the problem. secondly, i have an aunt who right now is having issues with a household bank. hsbc will tell you that they did not take t.a.r.p. money, so they do not have to help you, even though they bought toxic loans. her loan was not passed to,Ñi bt she had this balloon note. she tried to refinance. she eventually had to file bankruptcy. right now she is asking to be modified because of programs that were created. they will not work with their people. lawyers cannot get them to work. we are now working with steve collins office, our local representative, to try to get something to happen so that she can get intoçó the program or at least get some sort o

memphis, good morning to -- hi, go ahead. caller: i think that -- i see now why so many young men were picked up from different countries aren't world and taken to black sites, because it's very easy to condition these young men to do these kinds of missions at a time when people are trying to take our government away from us and needs them to do this to try to put fear into the whole world and to us and everyone. i'm conservative, and i think we need to go back to our constitution, preserve the rights of our people, and we need to stop turning our government over to people who care nothing about us, nothing about the world, nothing about creations. i think these guys -- how did that guy get burned when he's sitting there like he's dazed? somebody has tampered with his mind and sent him on a mission. host: the politico writes this morning about what this could do to the administration's plans on guantanamo. the bomb plot complicates gitmo plans. they write that this morning that yemenis represent almost half the remaining pri

i spent time in the memphis police department and i relate to those that are suffering. i urge all my colleagues to support this resolution and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from tennessee. texas. mr. poe: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. poe: first of all, i want to thank the gentleman from washington, mr. smith, for sponsoring this important legislation, and i rise in support of house resolution 939. this resolution extends our condolences to the families of sergeant mark renninger, officer tina griswold, officer ronald owens, and officer greg richards. these four police officers were members of the lakewood, washington, police department and were ambushed by gunfire in a murderous act of violence on november 29, 2009. these four officers were in uniform and sitting at a table in a coffee shop near their patrol area. they were preparing for their upcoming shift when a gunman with an extensive criminal record and

fairfax county, etc., but they're on par with kids that look like them in philadelphia, los angeles, memphis, places like that across the country. the problem is the longer they stay in our district, the worse off they are. by the time they're in third grade, they're far below their urban counterparts, and this is an interesting statistic which is the poor black fourth graders in new york city are operating two grade levels ahead of the poor black fourth graders in washington d.c. so for everyone who wants to blame the low achievement of the children in d.c. on poverty, on home environment, on the lack of health care and all those things, the last time i checked the poverty in harlem does not look all that different from the poverty in anacostia, but those children are operating two full grade levels ahead of ours. so, clearly, money is not the answer. we can throw a lot of money into the school districts, which we have here in d.c., and those are the outcomes that we have produced. so if money's not the answer, the question is, what is? and my, my proposition has been that we need to radica

whether we are talking about the aspiring blues performer in memphis or whether we are talking about an up-and-coming country star in nashville, one of our colleagues or -- colleges or universities getting on the air own showcasing their local talent and some of their personalities. or maybe it is some of our religious organizations or churches. it is a way for them to spread their message. so this legislation does give a crucial voice to these communities. i was pleased that mr. boucher mentioned women, small businesses that are owned by women. the number of women we have seen move into the communications field because they had the ability to get to a low-power station and develop a format and programming that will help them to launch a dream. actually innovate for our airwaves. we have heard from a wide range of groups. they do stand in support of this. it is a pleasure to stand and support the bill and i urge this chamber to move forward on passing this legislation. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back. the gentleman from virginia. mr. boucher: at this

host: the next call is from memphis, tennessee. caller: i am enjoying it you so much. i am thrilled -- there is hope for the future and looking at someone like you and what you are trying to do. i taught for 50 years. i started out with degrees in english and history, and then i talked and every manageable situation -- public schools, private schools, all levels. i was a substitute teacher in some situations. i raised four children. i am nervous, so excuse me. the point is that after doing all of it, i went back in my 40's. one of the first women to go back to school and then lived in the dorm, and with the permission of my husband went back to take the teacher course is. i did learn from them. why because i have looked down my nose all those years, but i must say that i went to a good teachers college and did learn from the courses. the teacher has problems with her children who could not do the test, you do have to teach to the test. you cannot just go in and talk all day. the other thing is you can have the best lesson plan in the world, but when you walk in the wor

i called into about 18 west tennessee counties, including shelby county, which is memphis. and about 30,000 people were on the telephone, so it was reported to me by the -- by the service, sometime during that hour. with a maximum number of 3,016 at any one time. someone might pick up the phone and say that senator barrasso is on the phone and threat might tune in for 15 -- and they might tune in for 15 or 20 minutes, maybe they have to cook dinner or have something to do or maybe the ballgame comes an and they -- comes on and they have to hang up. i took a number of questions and after it was over 563 e-mails from my constituents were sent to my website. it's interesting to me, people who know my history a little bit, to be elected governor 30 years ago, i walked across tennessee. instead of going to a rotary meeting, you see different places when you go to bars. it took me six months and i'd see 1,000 people a day. these random phone calls reminded me of that. it was as if the people were randomly selected. they weren't on a republican list or democratic list or list of d
