outrebounded tennessee. mary murphy is with the head coach. >> mary: we want to know what you think about the rebounding numbers. >> i thought we could do better. we let kelley cain get some, but our team is focused on it. you know, that's a key to the game. we've got to keep them off the glass. >> mary: you've been up in the second half against tennessee a number of years. what needs to happen to bring this one home? >> well, first of all, i think our bigs need to come out and be much more aggressive. we need neka going inside, kayla and jayne. i'm happy with how our guards are playing. so let's have our bigs step up. we've got to play smarter, too. >> mary: thanks for joining us. >> okay. >> jim: i don't know if coaches are ever happy. you just heard her. 23-21 outrebounding advantage. she wants more. >> lisa: that's par. i had the great pluxry of playing for her for my first olympic gold medal, and that's the way she is. she wants to expect more and never let up. like mary said, they have lost a lot of se

tennessee hasn't missed.he entire way. >> mary: stricklen really came in as a wing player. and it was the experiment last year to find a point, and she has found her love. she is having a great time at the point position. >> jim: jim watson, lisa leslie and mary murphy courtside. and a push away from the ball. ogwumike. she got shoved. she's twice been named pac-10 player of the year. she's having a breakout season. >> mary: she really is. you see her trying to get that post position. this is what gets johnson into so much early foul trouble. she just gets in and gets physical, an obvious foul. they need johnson on the floor for more minutes. >> jim: down low, appel picks it up and deflected by tennessee, so stanford keeps it. >> lisa: that time you see appel being double-teamed. she'll have to make much better passes. she knows they're not going to let her stay isolated on that block. the tennessee defense will swarm her every time. >> mary: talking to jayne yesterday, she said she never knows what to expect

so he left tennessee and went to missouri. he rose up to beat missouri lost a top politician for 30 years. >> to this injured -- did this injury in up with and to jackson -- end up with andrew jackson walking around with a bullet in his shoulder? >> the in jackson saw what i on most things and they were very much together on most of the issues of the day. >> another senator you write about -- and i bring this up to set the mood of that time period. benton was a democrat, polk was a democrat, and about the was a democrat. -- mcduffy was a democrat. >> he was a protege of calhoun. very early during the jackson presidency, toyed with the idea that straights -- that states could secede from the union. jackson said, that is tantamount to secession. jackson said, i am sending troops down and hang any traders who try to rent this hallowed union. he quashed the nullification movement. but those southerners, especially from south carolina, were very wary of the federal government. mcduffy never really came to heal to regards to jackson

>> he was on his way back to tennessee. beautiful home in nashville that had been previously owned by philip condi, a very prominent lead tl. he was sickly towards the end of his presidency and all the way on his journey back to tennessee. he then began to revive a little bit. he was refurbishing this house and then he took a turn for the worse. very quickly he died. >> where was he born? >> born in north carolina. moved at age of 11 to tennessee with his family. that was a real pioneer place in those times. it was dangerous. a man or woman or child of the caucasian race was killed. it was very dangerous. his family had become quite prominent and lands. they speculated in plant in north carolina and made a fair amount of money. they went to tennessee with what they earn their. they were quite prominent. they were very friendly with andrew jackson and all of the high-and society at national and tennessee during that time. >> how did he meet sarah? >> her brother had been a classmate of polk's. she met her at a reception or p

the gentleman from tennessee. mr. cohen: mr. speaker, i yield three minutes or as much time as the gentleman shall consume to mr. smith from the state of washington. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from washington is recognized for such time as he may consume. mr. smith: thank you, mr. speaker. i want to thank the speaker in this chamber for bringing this resolution so quickly to the floor. as we have now heard the tragic events of last sunday, we are here to offer our condolences to the families, also to honor the lives and the service of the four officers who were so brutally slain and to express our grief over their loss. they were ambushed early on sunday morning simply getting ready to go to work. it is a tragedy that has had a deep impact on our community. and i want to offer my condolences to all the people in lakewood, especially their police force and the city officials that have been so impacted by the tragic of this event. the four officers that were killed were part of the police force and all of th

moved at age 11 to tennessee with his family. that was a real pioneering frontier period or place in those days. it was dangerous. a lot of indian attacks. when jackson went to tennessee a man, woman, or child of the caucasian race was killed by indian attack every 10 days or so. so it was very dangerous even when polk was a boy. and his family had become quite prominent in land. they speculated in land in north carolina, made a fair amount of money, went to tennessee with what they earned there, and did it again on a bigger scale. so they were quite prominent. they were very friendly with andrew jackson and all of his coterie and all that sort of high-end society of the nashville and tennessee during that period. >> how did he meet sarah? >> sarah childress, her brother had been a classmate of polk. she was quite a bit younger, so he had actually known her when she was maybe 11 or 12. he met her at a reception or party for a prominent tennessean who later became governor, a guy by the name of caroll, as i recall. and saw her in

and this is another good tennessee state student, katherine brooks. she was originally from birmingham. but she was a student here in the early 60's, unlike rip, very much involved in the sit-in movement. non-violence is the key to the civil rights movement and most of the people who were involved understood the idea and readily embraced it even though for some people it was a struggle. and catherine like several of the black southern freedom riders i interviewed talked about getting her start as a protester almost instinctively as a child and just sort of acting out and just sort of natural and i want to read an excerpt from our interview in the book. it might have been around fifth or sixth grade when i began to protest the way things were. i refuse to step aside walking downtown when a white person would approach me. in high school we've road city buses to school and one day my friends and i through the colored sign out the window. leader during the sittings and picketing in 1960 and now of course we are in asheville it was tough to have someone pu

the gentlewoman from tennessee. mrs. blackburn: thank you, mr. speaker. at this time i'm pleased to yield two minutes to the gentlelady from north carolina, mrs. myrick, who has been a true champion, women and breast cancer issues and has really led on our side of the aisle as we have worked to deal with so many of these issues. at this time i yield to mrs. myrick of north carolina. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from north carolina is recognized. mrs. myrick: thank you, mr. speaker. and i thank my friend for yielding. i also thank my friend on the other side of the aisle, debbie wasserman schultz, and lois capps, in particular, the two of them have been very upfront and aggressive in leading the charge on these issues. i'm grateful for it. as you've already heard, the task force recently advised that women under 50 don't need mammograms and that those over 50 don't need them every year and that doctors shouldn't encourage breast self-examines due to false positives -- self-exams due to positives. what does this

the gentleman from tennessee. >> point of parliamentary inquiry. >> state your point. >> is that point that i just made not correct? >> the point -- mr. gallagher was entitled to five minutes. -- just listen for a second. i was told that he sought one minute. i am now recognizing -- i now

the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee. mr.alexander: i'd like to congratulate the senator from arizona for his comments and his own lea leadership on this issu. and i'd like to add my commendation to the republican leader. my thought is the reason we're working so well together is because we're afraid our country's about to make a historic mistake. i mean, there's a lot of talk about make history. there are a lot of ways to make history. put aside all the laws about race. let's don't talk about them, because when we talk about race, that's often misunderstood. we didn't fail to make a historic mistake on talks about race until the 1960's when we began to correct those laws. let's put aside the historic mistakes that we might have made in failing to stop aggression before world war ii. we know about those mistakes. we can remember historic mistakes. i would ask the republican leader, the smooth hally ter if sounded like a -- tariff when president hoover pushed, raising tariffs on american goods an create more american jobs and

cohen of tennessee. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 964, the gentleman from tennessee, mr.n, and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from tennessee. mr. cohen: thank you, madam chair. i would take as much time as i may consume. i want to thank chairman frank for working with me to include this language in the wall street reform and consumer protection act of 2009. this amendment would strip a provision permitting the securities and exchange commission to delegate regulation of investment advisors to the financial industry regulatory authority. in its present form, the bill would give them sweeping rule making authority over investment advisors which has been under the sole domain of the government regulatory agencies. this far-reaching provision would extend jurisdiction to federally registered investment advisory firms that manage almost 80% of all advisory firms aassets under management. fenerty does not have the expertise to -- with the investment advisors act anti-s.e.c. is best position to oversee the investment advisors

the mid south memphis, tennessee where the wizards and grizzlies clash. the wizards are looking to rebound after last week. >> thanks. with the return of brendan haywood and the play from antawn james son the team has been in the top ten. in the last two games they have taken a step backwards especially on the offensive glass. against milwaukee and minnesota the wiz gave us 25 more rebounds in the two games combined and that led to 43 second chance points and only 2 for washington. along with getting more second chances they must pay more attention to the defensive board. that's everyone, guards included. tonight they go against the number one offensive rebounding team. a team with a highest rebounding duo in the lead. zack randolph and mark dissolve. they must take care of business. stay tuned. we will have starting lineups ant papa john's opening tips right here on comcast sportsnet. steve: welcome back. the wizards through from minneapolis yesterday and they will playing a back to back tonight and in arizona tomorrow night. here is the starting lineup

i can tell you coming from tennessee one scopes trial is enough.r you believe we developed, our threat that our ancestors face are different from the ones we face. when you leave here today i guess the yards of you running into a leopard or a lion are probably pretty small. but our thinking is still shaped by what we have inherited from our ancestors. the good news is we do have the capacity to form long-term goals based on deeply shared values and stay the course to go to those long-term goals. the greatest generation after world war ii got tired of these world wars coming out of europe so they made a decision to set a long-term goal with the marshall plan and democrats and republicans worked together for decades and now europe is unifying with peace and prosperity and we haven't had another world war come out of europe. that is part of the benefit of having this long-term thinking. we have that capacity. and now we have got to use that capacity. in the conclusion of the book, i sketched out two scenarios, whether we make it or whether we don't, i

i see my colleague from the state of tennessee is standing. he has worked closely with people on medicare in his home state, worked with those people, is familiar with that and with medicaid, knows how difficult it is for patients to get to see a doctor. with the cuts in medicare it is going to make it harder, for those hospitals to stay alive and open in your community, for patients to get the kind of care that they need. skilled my friend from tennessee, are there concerns that you have about the cuts to medicare and how they're going to impact on the care of people in your home state? mr. alexander: i thank the senator from wyoming and appreciate his leadership on this bill. it's of tremendous value to have within our body two practicing medical doctors to help us interpret the effect of this bill which affects all 300 million americans and so dramatically. we find when we discuss it with our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that we sometimes becomes exasperated with one another because it seems like they're talking about one set o

as a part -- that might spring up in tennessee tennessee as part of the health care legislation. my guess is this manager's amendment is going to be quite interesting to read. i look forward to seeing the details. my guess is it not only fixes technical issue, but my guess is it also fixes wants and needs of people who might otherwise have had difficult passing this legislation. i think the defense appropriations bill is given a little time for that to germinate. we'll see that tomorrow, no debate, no amendments. i think it's a shame that the senate has gotten to the point where this is a type of process in place. mr. president, i understand my time may be up. if not, i'd love to yield to the senator from south dakota. the presiding officer: the time for the republicans has expired. mr. corker: thank you, mr. president. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from pennsylvania. mr. specter: mr. president, i have sought recognition to comment briefly on the proceedings in the senate in the last few days. and i would call upon my fellow senators to reconsider t

tennessee 2,223,000 according to members. washington state 225,000. wisconsin to the 43,000. i will ask unanimous consent for the enrollment of medicare advantage as of august 2009 into the record. >> the point* of all of this? the point* of this is that the senator from florida, member of the finance committee felt so strongly that advantage was a risky decided to carve out and get a majority on a party-line vote from the finance committee to carve out a special status for a group of seniors under medicare advantage in his state. this amendment simply says that everyone the senator from oklahoma -- oklahoma just made reference to the has that same protection for of that is all this amendment is about too. >> if you will yield for a question, if this amendment does not pass which protects all medicare advantage beneficiaries come all 11,532,000 in my state, and as a result of not only these cuts but additional cuts to come in the future which make it harder and harder for medicare beneficiaries to get coverage, i would ask your colleagues are particularly our doctors, what is

, mr. -- gentleman from tennessee -- >> point of parliamentary inquiry. point of parliamentary inquiry. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> point of parliamentary inquiry. >> yes, sir. >> do you think this has turned out fair? >> i think because of ju it hasn't. >> the gentleman from tennessee, five minutes. >> thank you, thank you very much, mr. chairman. general ike enberg, it's awfully good to see you again and i remember many of our visits to brussels with nato parliamently assembly. general mcchrystal, i appreciate your conversation with me on the phone at the last nato pa meeting. i see and am very encouraged by the reaction of the nato parliamentarian members at the last meeting a couple, three weeks ago in edinburough, there's a new spirit and cooperation, i think for the first time in several years. it's my impression, to use a football analogy, that they realize and have no problem with the united states being the quarterback of nato, they'd just like to be in the huddle when the play is called. you, and i think the administration, have done a good j

the stanford cardinal and the tennessee lady 'vols. cardinal have won 34 in a row here at maples pavilion. in fact, if memory serves the last team to beat them here might have been the lady 'vols of tennessee. that is saturday. you can see what the stanford women have done. pretty impressive. we talked about the two coaches in that game. a lot of experience, a lot of great coaching ability. >> marques: jarrett mann is getting off the schneid his first make after four free throw tries, and then does wonders for your confidence, especially when you shoot 5 #%, especially when you're the point guard with the ball in your hands. >> barry: a little short on the second. that's been his problem so far this year. davey was trying to work on it yesterday in practice to get him to bend a little bit more at the knees. >> marques: a nice cut action on the part of oklahoma state. back screened and then you get a down screen. it leads into some motion as the shot clock winds down. >> barry: going to get a grab foul. a man on that foul. shiller comes

out of clarksville, tennessee. the home of austin peay. played his basketball at hetay, across border in hopkinsville. shooting well from the free-throw line. 15 of the last 17. after 11 for 21 start this season. watch the jam by patterson on the other end. >> kyle: simple play. there was not a switch. no one talked to allow patterson to get the two-handed finish. >> matt: fraley hit two big free-throws. now 68-66 victory at ohio. that was the victory that gave dave loos the all-time ovc record. another great feed by wall. cousins could pn't finish it. cousins takes care of it there! >> kyle: he grabbed the pass off to the side. still managed to get it. square himself up. get the rebound. the pass not to him. gathered himself and got the ball up on the board and got it to go down. demarcus cousins, 14 points per game. he's number five in the s.e.c. in that category. number five in the s.e.c. >> kyle: as big as he is, 270 pounds, he's quite agile. he moves well down post. footwork will get better. sometimes he plays more with the upper half

i note that my colleague from tennessee is here. if he would like to step in at nir time, please do. ill i have two chick charts to see and then -- i have two quick chartcharts to show and then yon speak. by 2019,ing ther,ing, there wilt 73 million american households earning below the $200,000 that will face a tax increase. sometimes the proponents of this bill says that doesn't net out the subsidies that we're providing to some of them. if you net out the subsidies -- and i don't think that's necessarily a valid argument -- but if you do net out the subsidy, it's still at least 42 million american households that will see their taxes increase under this legislation. now, how see abovencc that comply with the president's promise? and all the motion that i've brought does is say to recommit this bill to the finance committee and make the bill fit the president's pledge. the president pledged people in the middle class, which he defined as families making less than $250,000 or individuals make being less than $200,000, would not see

tennessee has pulled a miracle!game one of the 1996 alcs, the yankees trailed baltimore by one. in the bottom of the eighth inning, a rookie name derek jeter stepped up to the plate. >> in right field tarasco going back to the track, to the wall. and what happens here? he contends the fan reaches up and touches it, but richie garcia says no. it's a home run. the contention by tarasco is the ball is descending and the fach fan touches it. he's right! he's right. >> absolutely. absolutely. >> oh, wow. meanwhile, here's the kid, receiving congratulations all around. >> it was one of the wildest finishes in nba history. after kobe bryant had put the lakers up by one, the spurs turned to their big man. >> to duncan. he gets doubled. zach all over him. he get as way the fade away. he makes it with .4 left. unbelievable! >> the lakers were left with just .4 on the clock, and needing a miracle. >> here they go. they get it to gary fisher. he scores! gary fisher scores at the buzzer! it will have to be reviewed. they will re

the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee. mr. alexander: i want to cliewt the senator from arizona -- i want to congratulate th the senator from arizona. i heard the senator talk about figures. we have some figures and the democrats have other figures. i agree with him. i think someone watching this must think we're on two different planets sometimes. but -- so let me focus in on the figures. i believe i heard you say that to pay for this health care bill over ten years there would be $465 billion in medicare cuts. now, where does that figure come from? mr. kyl: mr. president, i had say to my friend from tennessee, first of all, it comes from a reading of the bill. it's very clear in the bill as to how much money is taken from medicare and the number that the senator from tennessee just articulated is the correct number. in addition to that, the congressional budget office and the joint tax committee analyzed the specific numbers and obviously they were given the numbers in the bill, but the numbers that they are using are -- and

caning caned a ask the senator from tennessee, do you -- mr.ain: i'd ask the senator from tennessee, do you know of any economist, any expert on health care that believes that you can make these kinds of cuts in medicare advantage and still preserve the same benefits that the enrollees have today? mr. alexander: the answer to the senator from from arizona i. i know of one senator at least who does not believe it and he is the senator from florida. and its u.a.e it's interesting l week we've been going back and forth. we've been say, you're cutting medicare benefits. they've been saying us to, oh, no we're not. the people at home must say, who's right about this well, the senator from florida who sits over there has said, i'm not willing to go back to florida and say to the people of florida that your benefits aren't going to be cut if you're on medicare advantage, so i want an amendment to protect you. and so does the senator from texas, and so do the senator from oklahoma, the senator from louisiana, and from tennessee. and so the senator from

a senator: i appreciate my colleague from tennessee. i didn't have the honor to be a governor, but i got to sit in the office next door to be the governor's chief of staff. we had the issue of trying to balance budgets. unlike the federal government, which is out of control, states have to balance their budgets. mr. lemieux receipts have to meet -- mr. lemieux receipts have to meet expenditure. in florida $18 billion is what we pay for medicare it is the largest budget in the state of florida. what happens? you have to cut education. you have to cut public service programs that do things like law enforcement. mr. lemieux: correctional facilities. you hurt the other main functions in government if you keep adding in medicaid. i want to highlight a point that my colleague from tennessee made. it happened when we went through the chief actuary's report for medicaid and medicare services. this plan that the democrats have put forward, all it is is the expansion of medicaid. let's be honest, this is medicaid for the masses. 33 million people

the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee. mr. alexander: mr. president, during the next 55 minutes, we'll have several republican senators come to the floor. and i ask unanimous consent that during that time senator mccain be allowed to be the manager of a colloquy among the republican senators. thank you, mr. president. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. alexander: before senator mccain begins, i'd like to, if i may, take a moment just to establish where we are today, what happened yesterday, and as a lead-in to what he's about to discuss. yesterday senator mccain offered an amendment on the floor of the senate that would do two things. it would send back to the finance committee this, the democratic health care bill, which is the 2,000-page bill right here. and it would say to them, one, take out the cuts in medicare. and, two, any savings in medicare must go to make medicare more solvent. that was the mccain amendment. that was defeated. 58 democrats said yes to the cuts in medicare. they said no to using -- they said yes to using

mccain: i ask unanimous consent to enter into a colloquy with senators tennessee, oklahoma and tennessee the presiding officer: without objection. mr. mccain: mr. president, we are here obviously, as we are on a daily basis, to discuss the issue of health care reform. but we are in a rather unusual situation this morning because we don't know what w we're discussing or debating. we find ourselves in an interesting situation, after almost a year of consideration of health care reform, with a measure that has been at least some -- a couple of the outlines of it, weigh know, but frankly we have had no details, except that medicare is going to be extended to -- eligibility for medicare is going to be extended to age 55. i just would quote -- there was a meeting yesterday amongst the senate democrats. "many senate deems emrchled from the meeting sayings -- quote -- "they had learned little from the public option agreement -- senator mary lamp drew called the agreement a very good idea. senator blanche lincoln said more information is needed and senator ben nelson aid, i just want to know what

. >> she was from tennessee. >> yeah, exactly. so, yeah. everybody's very, very happy with the outcome, and i think they -- and they've -- >> yeah, right. actually, we sent them a copy of the final draft of the manuscript to make sure it was vetted. >> yeah. >> and, you know, if i got a little carried away with some of the description they said, no, it didn't happen this way, it happened that way and that kind of stuff. so any complaints i will refer to shelter now because they had two, udo and gaylord both read the manuscript and signed off on it. i was very thankful for that. the other thing i wanted to point out, six months after their escape -- they got out november 3 of '01 -- six months after that they're back in there. gaylord, his wife, two sons, a few of the -- the american girls did not go back and the australians did not go back, but the germans went back. and then other members of those who had escaped, who were able to escape in august, you know, when they were being cap cantured, they were able to, many of them came back. and

he's tied for tenth all time now with lorenzo coleman of tennessee tech jarvis. >> steve: bost on the floor with johnson, varnado and easily inside is mississippi state scoring. that's four now for kodi augustus who gets the start with barry stewart. bruins opening with anderson, dragovic, nelson, roll and lee. >> marcus: got to be the frustrating thing for ben howland who has prided himself on his team's outstanding defense for the past two years at ucla, before that at pitt. to be giving up the's buckets they are giving up. look at that block by varnado on the weak side help to get dragovic jarvis. >> steve: that's four blocks by varnado and there's ravern johnson going deep outside, and they are embarrassing ucla, leading 45-19. michael roll for three. in the past roll has been more of a role player, but forced into playing quality minutes this year, between 32 and 35. >> marcus: and quality shots for michael roll are far and few between because the loss of shipp and collison, demanded a lot of defensive attention and that's why his field goal percentage last year up around 50% and

the senator from tennessee. mr.corker: the senator from arizona, i have been watching this, was in my office, and i'm having a hard -- mr. mccain: it is a fun, isn't it? mr. corker: it is a lot of fun. in fact, i would not want to be any other place than on the floor today talking about the most important piece of legislation we probably will deal with in our tenure here. and i -- mr. mccain: it is a principle that a fight not enjoin sad fight not enjoyed? mr. corker: i don't think i've ever seen us as happy as i have today in a fight against something that is devastating. senator, i don't understand what it is that would cause my friends on the left, on the other side of the aisle, to throw seniors under the bus and whether -- there's no doubt there ought to be some chings in medicare to -- some changes in medicare to make it more solvent. and all of us with a nts to ensure that seniors down the road have the ability to benefit from medicare. i think all of us have said from day one we want to join with senator gre

to what tennessee. he couldn't go to this house because some of the troops the confederates still had were in alabama and mississippi so he had to go forward and what he used was a device that had been used since time and memorial because maybe that is the right term for it. i don't think he knew of eight but there was a case in china 2008 b.c. when the general shane knew what his troops across the river into the nm enemy territory. when the debarked he ordered his forces to pack three days of russians and then crushed cooking pots and burn their boats. they were to push forward living off of the land. there was no way back for them. retreat was not an option and so what did they do? de one. it was the option. sherman was the tough guy and the picture you see of sherman here shows what a tough guy he was. i think he acted tougher than he was or he showed that scowling look because he wanted to appear tough but his troops called him uncle bill lee and they didn't call him that to his face obviously but w

in addition, the southern district of tennessee -- the seventh district of tennessee my district is home to some of the country's most talented and creative minds in the music industry and they rely heavily on p2p file sharing in crafting and bringing forward their music. however, p2p programs are notorious for stealing copyrighted works and this legislation does much to curb the piracy and copyright infringement while stepping up penalties that are badly needed for those that are knowingly and willingly killing out these violations. unknown and untracked predators have been given photographs of -- have been able to steal intellectual property in a system that had been void of any manner to track, or prosecute 1r50eu89ors. i want to commend those of both sides of the aisle, especially mr. barrow, mrs. bono mack, mr. barton, and mr. stearns for their work in crafting this bill and i encourage everyone to support the legislation and i yield back. mr. stearns: mr. speaker, i have no further speakers. i'd just conclude by saying oftentimes we have very controversial bills. we had two consecu

just the senator from arizona, just the senator from tennessee? how about the senator from oklahoma or the senator from south carolina? well, i'm sorry. i feel sorry the republicans are all split up. they have not done their own homework, to pull their own senators together for something positive. so what they have done is they have pulled together to say no, to try to kill the reform bill that we have worked so hard on all year. now, we extended a hand. now, if we had really wanted to ace out the republicans, we would have followed their lead and what they did in 2001 when they ran through that tax cut for the wealthy. they did it on reconciliation so we couldn't filibuster it, so we couldn't have any debate on it. that's what they did. that's what they did. we didn't do it that way. president obama said we want to hold the olive branch out, we want to work with republicans, so that's what we tried to do. under the leadership of senator dodd on our committee, we had numerous meetings with republicans. we had a markup session that lasted 13 days,

i'd like to thank the senator from tennessee. although we disagree on this issue, i respect him very much, and i am just hoping -- maybe it's a false hope, but i'm hoping that before the end of the day that he will come join us and make this a truly bipartisan effort. we have tried -- we have reached out to the other side of the aisle for almost one calendar year with lengthy hearings in the "help" committee, in the finance committee, inviting republican senators to come join us, and there were times when there was kind of a tease that was going on where they would come in and offer amendments and the amendments would be adopted in the "help" committee. i think over 100 republican amendments were adopted, and we felt they're coming our way. we're finally going to have a bipartisan bill, but then the bill was called and not a single republican senator would vote for it. as i stand here today, despite one year of effort, despite three committees in the house going through markup, two committees in the senate, despite the vote on th

i would ask my friend from tennessee. mr. alexander: the senator from wyoming -- i thank the senator from arizona for being so specific about this and making it clear that this is not a republican senator talking. this is a republican senator reading the report of the federal government's chief actuary for the medicare and medicaid program, and senator barrasso, a physician for 25 years in wyoming, brought to our attention some of these things earlier this week when he pointed out what this also says. i mean, isn't the point that if we keep cutting medicare, there are not going to be any hospitals and any doctors around to take care of patients who need care? mr. barrasso: that is absolutely -- mr. mccain: in addition i question, has dr. barrasso ever heard of the c.m.s. being biased or slanted in one way or another? isn't it one of the most respectable, respectable and admired objective observers of the health care situation as far as medicare and medicaid is concerned? mr. barrasso: my answer to that is they are objective,

oklahoma and tennessee. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. mccain: mr. president, we are here obviously, as we are on a daily basis, to discuss the a daily basis, to discuss the >> mr. president, we are here obviously as we are on a daily basis to discuss the issue of health care reform, but we are and a rather unusual situation this morning, because we don't know what we are discussing or debating. i mean refiners cells in an interesting situation after almost a year of consideration of health care reform, with the measure of that is-- at least a couple of the outlines of that we no, but frankly we have had no details, except that medicare is going to be extended to eligibility for medicare is going to be extended to age 55. i just would quote, there was a meeting yesterday amongst the senate democrats and many senate democrats emerged from yesterday's caucus meeting saying "they learned little about the public option agreement and there were many outstanding concerns. senator mary landrieu called the agreement a very good idea. senator burr lance linco

. >> but apparently i would ask my colleague from tennessee we don't know what we would be voting on because there has been a whole read right of this health care reform here after a year and we don't even know what the provisions of the bill or accept what has been wheat, and apparently my colleagues on the other side of the aisle with exception of majority leaders don't know what it is either. >> if the senator would yield there are some things we could vote on. president obama outlined very specific things that ought to be in this bill and we ought to vote to put them in the bill. what he said he wanted and what this bill presents are two different things. so we ought to vote on making sure everybody has access. we ought to vote on making sure we are under the same plan as everybody else that we are going to put into any new and expanded health care coverage. we ought to vote making sure everybody's treated fairly in this country. we ought to vote on your prescription drug free importation. we ought to vote. but what we are doing is getting the slowdown. we heard we are obstructin

just picked up his 200th career victory and that includes four seasons at tennessee tech and two at chattanooga. underway with auburn in the white and virginia in the road blue. ing coming off a very tough performance. >> it will be interesting to watch the differences. virginia loses, the inside presence. their only inside presence in the season but they get a shooter. >> matt: inside they go and the first pass coat of the basketball to new jersey. >> daymeon: a guy who is taking advantage early in the year and, of course, that. >> the three-pointer to get auburn on the board. auburn 8 of 31. knocks down the threes tonight. speaking of threes, zeglinski can really knock them down. landesberg. that that is his first basket and a foul on the play on all vance. a chance to go to the line for a chance at the old fashioned three-point play. >> daymeon: virginia tried to spot out the mismatches from landesberg. landesberg is a tough guard. when you look at auburn, i'm such coach he saw that auburn's guards are smaller. sullivan, reed and waller. 6'2" and 63. landesberg will have an opportunity to po

the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from tennessee is recognized. mr. tanner: when one considers that social security, medicare, medicaid, interest on the debt, and the national defense account for 85 cents out of every dollar, you can't cut enough out of the 15% to take care of this problem. it's not what we are doing. it's not what we are spending. it's what we are not doing. that is we are not addressing the structural deficit. and the only way we are going to get at that is through either statutory pay-go or anonymity commission and hopefully both. it's not what we are doing, it's what we are not doing. and it is a decade-old problem that is getting worse every year. and until this congress can come together, democrats and republicans, what we have around here is too many republican americans or too many democratic americans instead of american democrats and american republicans. i'm telling you the time is now for american democrats and american republicans to get together over the next 60 days and figure out what we are going to do because we are

i was at one time governor of tennessee. while we don't yet know what is in the democratic health care bill we do know this much. increases medicaid by 133% of poverty and what that means to states is a huge new bill of about $25 million over ten years. the federal government says it will pick up the cost for three years but after that states are on their own and the bill is big. here is what governor schwarzenegger from california had to say about that medicaid expansion. this is the last thing we need. $3 billion of spending when we already have a 20 billion-dollar deficit so i would see very very careful before you go to bed with all of this. let's rethink it. there's no rush from one second to the next. let's take a weaker to and come up with the right package. the mother of all unfunded mandates, he has estimated it would cost their state's $700 million or more over the next five years. my own estimate is that will increase taxes, increase college tuitions, cost offenders to be released from prison or all of the above.

speaker, it's my pleasure to as much time as he may con-- she may consume to the gentlelady from tennessee, marsha blackburn. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. mrs. blackburn: thank you, madam speaker. i do rise in support of this bill and for those individuals that live in rural areas like my seventh district in tennessee. fixing a short market problem which we have heard discussed on this floor tonight is much more than just a convenience or i want to see tv issue. for us it is an issue of health and security and public safety. . and by working to expand the unserved customer, which we have done on a bipartisan basis in this bill, my constituents in rural west tennessee counties like hardin and chester are now going to be able to get that distant satellite signal that we've discussed. and the reason it is important for us is because a couple years ago we had a devastating tornado that swept through west tennessee, touched down in our district, nearly three dozen tennesseans were killed and 150 people were seriously injured. communities were perilized and had signifi

, a former senator from tennessee. he and howard baker were very good friends and the senator minority leader who hadn't taken a position on the troy and he was close to gerald ford and was supporting the panama canal treaties and he was frustrated with brock and the national republican committee and never raised another money for the rnc until after he took control of the party, after he got the nomination in july of 1980. >> so he -- if i have my history correct, the panama canal treaty actually passed. >> yes. >> is it fair to say that president reagan lost the battle but won the war in the sense that it positioned him from a philosophical standpoint to help coalesce the conservative coalition. >> absolutely, john. by the time the passage of the treaties in the senate of 1978, the american people who two years ago supported all the treaties and the polling show the american people vastly opposing the treaties. you're right, he lost the battle but he won the war because it coalesced a lot of the conservative movement

i'd be happy to yield to the senator from tennessee. a senator: the senator from tennessee. mr. corker: thank you, mr. president. i've been listening to the senator from oklahoma, who's a physician. and i know cares deeply about his patients, continues to treat patients as he serves near the senate. and it seems to me what you've done is pointed out the fact there will be much interruption, if you will, changes in the way that physicians and patients and their relationship is. but the big picture is -- is what you're concerned about too, and that is the tremendous indebtedness this country has. the -- the fact that the good chairman of the finance committee, who's here today listening patiently, and i know this has to be painful to him, the fact is that half of the reform we're talking about is putting people in medicaid. a program that 40% of physicians won't see and 50% of specialists won't see. mr. coburn: and the outcomes are poor. mr. corker: the outcomes are poor. i read last week, so man prescriptions for anti-sigh could the ex-- antipsychotic drugs of people to don't wan

>> i would answer my colleague from tennessee as a practicing physician. when i see the historic mistake were going to allow the federal government which carrier you are going to get. we're going to divide the loyalty of your physician and no longer will you be able to get 100% advocate for you they will be an advocate for the government over the government says. because in this bill the one that's going to come has three different programs that puts government bureaucracy in charge of what you can cannot have. doesn't consider what your personal health, which are personal medical history is, what's your family medical history of spirit here's what you can and cannot do. that call ration. that's in the bill. that's coming and that's a historic make because it ruins the best health care system in the world in the name of trying to fix the smaller problem in terms of access. and it ignores the real problem. the real problem is health care in this country cost too much. and we all know that this bill doesn't drive down that cost. it increases cost him his you

and as a senator from tennessee pointed out, there has never been a fundamental reform made in the history, modern history that was not bipartisan. or we are going to see gm through over the objections of the majority of americans legislation that they've never seen nor read or understand. so that's really the choice between us. that's really what this choice is boiling down to and i think that frankly the american people should be heard, not the majority of the other side. >> people are saying don't cut my medicare, don't raise my taxes, don't make things worse than they are right now. and this bill cuts medicare, raises taxes, and for people depending on the health health e system in this country this makes things worse. >> by the way, can i mention that, you know, if you live long enough all things can happen. i now find myself in complete agreement with dr. howard dean who says that we should stop this bill in its tracks, which go back to the beginning and have an overall bipartisan agreement. dr. dean, i am with you. >> the senator from pennsylvania. >> mr. president, i ask consent th

the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee. mr. corker: mr. president, i would like to inquire as to how much time is allotted for me? the presiding officer: the minority has 60 minutes. mr. corker: i have ten minutes, i think. i wonder if the president might let me know when i have two minutes left? the presiding officer: the chair will do so. mr. corker: okay. mr. president, i thank you. i -- i have watched this body over the last period of time as we discussed health care, and the body itself has been -- the integrity has been challenged of this body. i have watched as individuals have challenged each other's integrity as it relates to this bill. mr. president, i choose not to do that today, and i want to state as i state constantly back home in my state that i am -- i consider it a privilege to wake up each day and come to work in this body. obviously, things don't always go as one might expect, but i do consider it a privilege, and i thank -- i thank the folks back home for allowing me to serve in this body and to deal with these importan

and i would ask the senator from tennessee and the senator from texas and large numbers of enrolleesmedicare advantage program, also, how this would be unfair as well. >> well, i thank the senator from arizona for his amendment, and i thank the senator from florida for his amendment. because medicare advantage is very important to tennesseans. we have 243,000 tennesseans who have opted for medicare advantage, about one-fourth of all americans who are on medicare have chosen medicare advantage because it provides the option for increased dental care, for vision care, for hearing coverage, for reduced hospital deductibles, many benefits. it's especially helpful to low income and minority americans, it's especially helpful to people in rural areas. and what the republicans have been arguing all week is that contrary to what our friends on the other side are saving -- saying, this bill cuts those medicare advantage benefits, and the directer of the congressional budget office says that fully half, fully half the benefits on medicare advantage for these 11 million americans will be cut. w

tennessee and stanford go at it, and then you've got tennessee men against usc. stay with us. stewart on the drive and throws day way, but roll has it go off his hand out of bounds and it will be mississippi state basketball with 27 left on the shot clock. >> marcus: dragovic has struggled from the field. he's 0 for 4 in this game, and i would say four of those shots, normally you'd figure he has a pretty good chance to knock down, but you mentioned, steve, he's just struggling. has had some personal issues, off-the-court issues and i'm not sure if there is a carry-over with that but he's not shooting the ball the way he's capable of shooting the basketball jarvis. >> steve: out of bounds and bruins basketball so they are staying this it with hustle plays, but they still trail by nine. that is the third turnover for the bulldogs. >> marcus: and in terms of the keys, you know, statistics offense for ucla, if he's not hitting, firing on all cylinders, mike roll is kind of lum warm, you're going to be in trouble jarvis. >> steve: roll missing and keefe went over the back and comm
