morning there may be ice in parts of georgia, into the carolinas, certainly asheville, spartan burg, greenville, up into lexington. by tomorrow afternoon it begins to get colder, and moves farther into colder air. back into ohio, and on the back side, it's not showing up very well on this map, but let me draw here, right through this area there, that's where the warm air is going to go on top of cold air. it's going to be 35 degrees at 1,000 feet. it's going to be 31 degrees where you are. that's going to ice up so quickly. i've seen pittsburgh in ice with all those hills, it's not a pretty sight. if you're in dubois, or anywhere through that altoona corridor where it gets high and hilly, it would be a mess. the big cities stay wet, but the problem -- another problem with this is the wind could be 40 miles per hour, wolf. that could maybe put a damper on the thanksgiving day parade, but certainly will put a damper on how fast those airplanes can last next to each other. i bet 30% to 50% of the planes may not make it to the ground because they'll be canceled somewhere else. it will have to be re

angela of greenville, our family of four is paying $417 a month and it is going to $765 a month. jim, my doctor retired and told me that he was not going to deal with the changes in the affordable care act. so i could not keep my doctor. both of my adult daughters got letters indicating their policies were canceled due to not meeting all the requirements of the new law. new policies being issued will be will 33% more expensive. one has a specialist doctor who is now going to charge patients a costly fee up front each year and pay for certificate vusses rendered. all of these effects are negative to my family. mr. speaker, these individuals and families are not statistics. they are real people from alabama's second congressional district whose lives are being made more difficult because of obamacare. i don't know why the president repeatedly misled the country about the true implications of this health care law. this is the kind of washington doublespeak, political doublespeak people are so fed up with. this time it is hurting people in a very real way. we have an opportunity here

having a judge who is also an architect would be particularly serendipitous for greenville. the federal courthouse there is woefully inadequate, madam president. the court is in desperate need of a new state-of-the-art courthouse. i'm hopeful ms. brown's tenure will coincide with its construction. although ms. brown's law career has focused primarily on civil litigation, her dedication to her professional -- to her profession goes far beyond casework. from 2003 to 2004, she served as president of the mississippi women lawyers association. she was also named by the mississippi business journal as one of mississippi's 50 leading businesswomen. in addition to pro bono work, ms. brown serves on the board of the mississippi center for justice, a public interest law firm that combats discrimination and poverty in mississippi, and also operation shoestring which empowers families and children in the jackson community. she's been endorsed by a number of prestigious organizations including the magnolia bar association, which represents minority and other lawyers and judges throughout
