mr. lewisit was an accelerated class. they said he made such a difference in their lives. mr. lewis said they were such wonderful children he wanted to find out what they were doing all those years later. >> we were chatting before just being on. our question, of course, is did they get -- facebook one another to remind one another hey, we made this promise 20 years ago to go hang out at the flagpole and honor our teachers? i wonder -- it must have had to -- something. what a great idea. >> absolutely. i know they did facebook and did some myspace as well. i'm not sure exactly how they organized it. >> all came together. one of the quotes from one of the students was the fact that everybody looked pretty much the same, just like a bigger version with beards and gel in their hair. >> i like that. wonderful reunion. >> how about this other story? i think this is cool. i don't know -- >> it is very cool. if you remember, you know, science and technology news a couple of weeks ago, four, five weeks

mr. lewis: madam speaker, i want to thank my colleague for presenting this resolution. madam speaker, i rise in tribute to dr. martin luther king jr. dr. king was a man i knew personally and regarded as a brother, friend, colleague, and my hero. he was a simple human being filled with love, peace, and compassion for all humankind. he was ray of hope who preached a doctrine of nonviolence and civil disobedience to combat racial injustice. dr. king's speech at the at washington, transformed the steps of the lingom memorial. on that day he shared his dream of a beloved community, a truly interracial democracy. i can still hear him say, i have a dream today, deeply rooted in american dreams. it is fitting and appropriate that we pause as a nation and as a people to remember the life of dr. martin luther king jr.. he inspired a nation and changed america forever. it is also fitting while remembering his life and his contribution that we commit ourselves to serving our communities, to become the change that we all wish to see in the world. madam speaker, today we encourage al

mr. lewis also said in the d.c.circuit, another case is certainly standard for the proposition that the concept of indecency at some level is not so devoid of meaning that it could not be applied in some context and i want to point out that what we have said in this case is that the change in policy is unconstitutional. whether the policy can be applied in the future on facts that are comparable to the common monolog, the supreme court will rule in due course but what has happened here is that the commission went from that sort of policy from a verbal shock and assault to a policy that is unconstitutional and all the networks have asked in this case is for the court to say that as a matter first amendment law, the commission has to go to the policy that prevailed before golden globes. >> it is very simple. the broadcasters and petitioners here think pacifica is the end of the fcc regulation and the fcc thinks it is the beginning. that is what we have to decide. >> right, and the argument is that like so many plants

mr. lewis also said that the concept of indecency, at some will, is not so devoid of meaning that they cannot be applied in some context. i want to point out that what we have said in this case is that a change in policy is not constitutional. whether the policy can be applied in the future on facts that are comparable to the monologue, then the supreme court will rule in due course. what has happened here is that the commission went from that policy to a policy that is not constitutional. the court has to say that as a matter of first amendment law, the commission has to go with the policy that prevailed before golden glow. >> the petitioners here think that pacific cut is the end of the sec -- the fcc regulation. that is what we have to decide. >> of the argument is that plants that are so far away and may not exist but the light is still making it to the earth, it is not even there. >> i think you are imposing too much on this. we do not have to siddecide that this is the end rather than the

i think mr. lewis has requested this information, particularly in view of, you know, a freeze when are we going to get the estimates of the appropriations authorized and required in the health care bill? that, i think, is probably easier to achieve before we vote on this. what are the appropriations we're talking about here? can you get that estimate? >> so that is, so we received that request, and we talked with chairman stack, ranking member stack. in our estimate of the health bills, we've included a section that offers a range of what we believe to be the appropriations necessary to finance particular parts of the government that would be responsible for running the insurance exchanges or making changes in medicare and so son, those ranges so on. ranges from 5-10 billion in some categories. to do a complete estimate of the appropriations that might be required would be, doesn't require doing a new baseline, so it avoids that complexity, but it is itself very complicated. there are a lot of provisio

mr. lewis: madam speaker, i rise today to celebrate the life of dr. martin luther king jr. and to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the stevie wonder song, "happy birthday." that song was such a fitting tribute to dr. king and a rallying cry to create the dr. martin luther king jr. holiday that we celebrated last weekend and on monday. dr. martin luther king jr. was my friend. he was my big brother. he was my hero. and above all, he was a simple human being filled with love, peace, and compassion for all humankind. madam speaker, i want to take the opportunity to thank my colleague, the chairman, mr. conyers, for the great and unbelievable role that will you played in making this holiday possible. when the historians speak of him and write about the spirit, they would have to write that you, john conyers, paved the way to make it possible for people all over america and around the world to stop and celebrate the work of martin luther king jr. we as a congress, as a nation, and as a people are deeply indebted to you. and we will never, ever forget the role that you played. s

. >> may it please the court, jacob lewis for the f.c.c. >> mr. bruce, your clients were just described as a ruofing band of censors. >> thank thank you, i am happy to be here. i want to present this and ask if the f.c.c.'s position was still the same. i hypothesized this was being broadcast over which the f.c.c. had authority within the hour sarah of the regular news program, and the use of the f word and s word did take place previously, although not in the supreme court. and then i hypothesized that the person reporting on this case displayed to the viewers and the listeners the pack story, and actually broadcast clips of cher and nicole richie from the golden globe awards, and i was told that would not be a violation of the f.c.c. policy even though it was the same language and incident that gave rise to the order. is that still the f.c.c.'s position? >> that is still the f.c.c.'s position. >> what is the basis for that? >> there are two distinctions between doing a news show. one, the clips would be broadcast as part of a news show. >> is the

mr. speaker. today i rise to commend coach dave lewis, the head basketball coach at my alma mater.e dedicated the majority of his life to coaching basketball. 2009 marks coach lewis' 20th season where he is also athletic director. during this time he welcomed his 400th overall head coaching victory on december 3, 2009. austin p. is a member of the ohio valley conference and this year coach lewis became the winningest coach in o.b.c. history. it has been a privilege to watch coach lewis interact with his young athletes, recruiting and encouraging them both as a mentor and as a coach. as rick once said, the key to coaching is not what you do, but the way you do it. the intangibles, the motivational parts of the game, are the most important facets of it. a successful coach not only prepares his team for victory but motivates them along the way. this coach accomplishes this each time he sets a foot on the court and has great concern and appreciation for each of his players and that is an invaluable trait as a successful coach. however his proudest accomplishment is being a dedicated hu
