let me begin with you brewing alberts. what is creativity. >> it's an important part of science and i actually thought about this a lot in terms of a scientist. you can't be creative without knowing things. and really creativity comes in science by taking different fields of knowledge, different approaches to problems and combining them in new unexpected ways. this is the way science advances and why we can't predict the future of science. but i think the important thing is that creativity is not making up things, using science, just in your head, you have to know a fair amount of information about different fields that are related, different ways of thinking about problem solving. examine then make up your own solution -- and then make up your own solution putting those pieces together. >> charlie: can it be learned? >> it can be learned by experience. it can't be learned by telling people how to be creative. i think, and this is very important point for education. rote learning which is far too much in our schools today,

. >> charlie: albert, what are the politics of this and how might it play out in the midterm elections>> charlie, the politics are the exact reverse of the reactions. the reactions from most conservatives who favor the arizona law, this is outrage, this is terrible, in fact, many of them realize that it plays to their political advantage for these midterm elections. it's a federal judge appointed by clinton overturning the desire of the state to crack down on illegal immigrants. the liberals who will hail this also, i think, realize that the short-term politics is bad. i have no question that those advocates of the arizona law will flourish in this election whether it's in arizona, colorado, nevada or anyplace else. i happen to think that the long-term politics are bad for them but i think thehort-term politics are good for them so i think that this ruling today was a political, not a legal, victory for the pro-arizona law people. >> charlie: so it's a legal -- it's a political victory for them and a short-term victory, a near-term victory in terms of their campaigns and what they hope

it's albert from hartford, connecticut. albert, your thoughts. should michael steele resign? caller: i don't think so. because he's reflecting the views of the republican party. if he resigns for saying what he should they should have asked him to resign when he kowtowed to rush limburger cheese. when he calls the president a liar, in the state of the union message and other indignities against the president, it's gotten to to be in my personal opinion a racist thing. they're not respecting the president in that caucus. this is not his war. this is a war that was conceived way before he got there. yes, he is the commander in chief, but to show this much disrespect to obama, i'd like to reflect on one of the callers when he started to say mr., he said president. a lot of people call president obama mr. obama, obama so and so. showing no respect. michael steele reflected what the republican party -- what the republican party of which i am a member have in their hearts and very racist all told. thank you for taking my call. host: here's another twitter message. steele wants to s

albert einstein is credited with saying, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. our colleagues keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. they're not going to get different results as long as they have these irresponsible policies. with that, i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves. the gentleman from florida. mr. hastings: i'm pleased at this time to yield to the -- two minutes to the gentlewoman from maryland, donna edwards. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized for two minutes. ms. edwards: thank you, mr. speaker. look, at 3:00 this afternoon, 2,742,660 americans were denied an extension of their unemployment benefits. it's just that simple. i've heard the arguments on the other side but when a liberal goes in to buy bread, nobody says that's liberal bread. when a conservative goes in to buy cereal, nobody says that's conservative cereal. when republicans go in to pay their rent, nobody says that's republican rent. when democrats go to pay they

i put a picture of albert einstein on the cover of the book to remind us of the contributions of-by immigrants was it established by someone born in taiwan. -- yahoo! was established by someone born in taiwan.

and let me just say albert einstein once defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. well, that's exactly what the democrats are doing today, trying to pass for the third time an unpaid for extension of unemployment benefits that the senate, republicans and democrats, and the american people have repeatedly rejected. in fact, just last night the senate said thanks but no, thanks to this fiscal insanity. democrats should put an end to this sham and pay for this $34 billion spending bill so unemployed americans can get the help they deserve. and let me be clear, i support and republicans have supported extending unemployment benefits, but we must not do so at a cost to the deficit, to the economy and to future generations. our inability to get our fiscal house in order isn't just damaging future generations. it's reeking havoc on job creation today. surely if congress can find money to protect doctors, then we can find money to protect the unemployed. on tuesday, the house defeated this same bill, one that would add $34 billion to the d

in keeping with albert eitein's assertion that, quote, the greatest scientists are artists as well, end quote. art has a positive effect on students' academic career. many studies show that those participating in visual and performing arts have bter grades and are less likely to drop out. they are at least three times more likely to be elected to class office, or win an award for scho attendance or writing a poem or essay. they are also more likely to go on to college. however, a poll found that only 58% of eighth graders attended schools where music instruction was offered three times a week and only 53% attended schools where visualrts were offered thretimes or more a week this highlights the importance of giving our students expanded opportunities to participate in the visual and performing arts in school. i took advantage of those opportunities growing up myself, participating in several school plays throughout lower school and elementary school in a music program and i know that i take many of those lessons today that have help make me a wetter rounded perso and more effecve repres
