The list of selected staff publications may be searched by keyword or author and can be sorted by year.
Entries in specialized science and technology encyclopedia about the invention and development of irons, stoves, and washing machines in America, with links to other inventions featured in the publication.
Provides a brief history of the invention and early development of the electric guitar in America. Reprinted from the American Heritage of Invention and Technology 20, no. 1 (summer 2004).
This virtual exhibition features instruments that illustrate how innovative makers and players combined the guitar with a pickup and amplifier to create a new instrument and a new sound that profoundly changed popular music—blues, country, rhythm and blues, jazz, and rock and roll—in the 20th-century. From an exhibition produced by the Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, November 1996 through October 1997.
Places of Invention tells the stories of people who lived, worked, played, collaborated, adapted, took risks, solved problems, and sometimes failed--all in the pursuit of something new. It dispels the myth of the lone inventor and shows that invention and innovation abound--not just in the Silicon Valleys of America but in hometowns across the country.
The magazine's cover article about the invention and development of the electric guitar and how it changed the world of music during the 20th century. Features guitarists, makers, and innovators who played important roles in the evolution of the instrument and helped influence popular music styles including rock and roll. Reprinted in Regional Cultures in American Rock 'N' Roll: An Anthology, edited by David Stuart and Scott Anderson (2011).
Monica Smith served as the Editor in Chief of the Journal of Museum Education from 2005 to 2008.
This chapter examines how the Lemelson Center's first major exhibition evolved into an exhibition focused on play, and the research, implementation, and evaluation processes along the way, to hopefully provide inspiration for future play-related museum initiatives.

Im a dt player and i have every card you would use in a deck from Sakrohm Montana and Uppers except for Guru Cr and Lyse Teria Cr so which combination is better Sakrohm and Uppers Montana and Uppers Montana and Sakrohm
Generally Sakrohm is not the ideal choise for DT, their cards are great, but many of them will drag out play and make your oponent slower to react, due to abilities such as DR or +life. In short Sakrohm forces calculation, which in dt is bad.
So the bestcombination is probably Uppers and Montana.
Montana have low damage so i think it will be good to combine them with Sakhrom that have many Damager Card (or Life Gainer to make a gap ), good for T1
Uppers + Sakhrom i think will be more stable in T2

Romney loses South Carolina to Gingrich; tells supporters he'll keep 'fighting for every vote'
Charles Dharapak, Associated Press
» View our political blog, with live updates and analysis of the South Carolina primary.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Moments after U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich was declared the winner of South Carolina's GOP primary Saturday, Mitt Romney's supporters gathered for what they had hoped would be a victory party and started chanting, "Florida, here we come."
Romney told the small but enthusiastic crowd gathered in a state fairgrounds hall he was ready for a long and hard-fought race to the GOP nomination that will continue Jan. 31, with Florida's primary.
"In the coming weeks and months, I will keep fighting for every single vote. I will compete in every state," he said to cheers. "We're going to win this nomination and we're going to defeat President Obama in November."
Less than a week ago, Romney had hoped to deliver a "knockout punch" to his rivals in the first southern state to vote in the primary after a strong showing in Iowa and a win in New Hampshire earlier this month.
But Gingrich's harsh condemnation of the media while denying allegations from an ex-wife that he wanted an open marriage were a death blow to Romney's hopes of effectively securing the nomination Saturday.
"This is an astonishing victory," said Dave Woodard, a Clemson University political science professor and pollster who had been predicting a Romney win until less than 48 hours ago. "I've never seen anything where somebody who was outspent two-to-one could do well in a debate and come back like this. He's tapped into something strong."
Gingrich reached "frustrated and angry" Republican voters, Woodard said. "Here is a guy who could speak their language and catch their fire. They really rallied to him. That's what they want."
He said Romney, who struggled at the same debate to answer questions related to his personal fortune, has "got to be a fire-breather. He's got to show some passion."
That's not Romney's style, said South Carolina State Treasurer Curtis Loftis, who served as Romney's campaign chairman in the Palmetto State.
"I think he's a strong debater. He loves the ideas. He loves the issues. But he's just not one of these guys who can play to the media," Loftis said.
Gingrich made "an emotional appeal to the conservative voters of the state," he said. "I have real problems with that because I don't think pithy one-liners or conservatives running against the media does anything to advance the republic."
South Carolina voters, Loftis said, are "emotional people. We're conservative people. And I mean these are my brothers and sisters. This is who we are. I get it … it has an effect on me."
Gingrich has hammered Romney about his business dealings as head of Bain Capital, a firm that invested in troubled companies and fired employees in an attempt to make them profitable.
In his concession speech, Romney told the crowd that the "frontal assault on free enterprise" is an attack on "every person who dreams of a better future. He's attacking you."
He called it a mistake for the GOP to take on an issue already embraced by Democrats.
"The Republican Party doesn't demonize prosperity. We celebrate success," Romney said. "We cannot defeat the president with a candidate who has joined that very assault on free enterprise."
While Romney's supporters loudly cheered his speech, they were clearly upset at the election results.
Philip Lawson said he was "really disappointed in the people of South Carolina. That's all I am saying. I don't think that Newt Gingrich can get elected because he has so much baggage. He's got a smart mouth."
Bill Brown, a Romney volunteer, said he talked to many evangelical voters who wouldn't consider Romney because he is a Mormon, a faith they don't see as Christian.

VALidation and Improvement of Airframe Noise prediction Tools
State of the Art - Background
The overall noise radiated by modern aircraft has two sources which are quite balanced at approach: the engine and the airframe. The airframe noise (AFN) has a broadband character and is mainly due to the interaction of the turbulent airflow with the high-lift devices (slats and flaps) and landing gears, and to a lesser extent to cavities, spoilers and to boundary layers developing along the fuselage.
One of the major ACARE objectives is a reduction in perceived noise level of fixed-wing aircraft by 50% by 2020 compared to 2001. In achieving this required breakthrough towards quieter aircraft, reducing AFN is very important now and will become even more important in the future, especially for large aircraft, due to the already anticipated development of quieter engines.
With the clearly expressed tendency of the modern airframe industry towards virtual prototyping and the increasing reliability of the design cycles on numerical simulations with the experimental verifications performed only at later stages of the design cycle, it is of utmost importance to increase the trust in noise predictions. However, the complexity and diversity of broadband turbulent AFN sources makes that prediction and subsequent reduction with present numerical tools extremely challenging.
VALIANT is tackling this challenge by generating new experimental data, and validating and improving numerical tools for predicting AFN generated from landing gears, slats, flaps and local separation regions.
Due to the extremely complex physical nature of the phenomenon and the high cost of computing full aircraft configurations on the one hand, and the lack of a reliable experimental database on the other, VALIANT focuses on key generic test cases revealing the basic mechanisms of AFN generated by the most 'noise-dangerous' elements of a real aircraft:
- turbulent flow over a gap;
- flow past an airfoil with a flap;
- flow past an airfoil with a slat;
- flow past two struts (landing gear).
These four generic flows actually 'cover' the most important sources of AFN generated by a real aircraft and therefore their study provides a sufficient basis for evaluation and improvement of the Computational Aero Acoustic (CAA) tools aimed at predicting AFN. On the other hand, these flows are 'simple' in the sense that their accurate simulation and noise generation are computationally affordable.
For all these configurations, the components of the noise prediction chain (for the turbulent/source region, and near- and far-field propagation domains) and their mutual interactions are evaluated and avenues of improvement developed.
Description of Work
The project is divided into four technical work packages (WP).
WP1 focuses on generating a detailed and reliable experimental database for validation purposes for the four generic test cases listed above. Expected results are steady and unsteady aerodynamic data, as well as noise-source localisation and far-field noise spectra and directivities. Acoustic measurements will be performed in a cheap large aerodynamic wind tunnel.
WP2 is aimed at a thorough assessment of currently available CAA approaches in terms of turbulence and acoustics by comparing both with each other and with the experimental data. This systematic comparison will highlight both strong and weak points of the numerical approaches and suggest avenues of further improvements on the weak points within WP3.
Based on the remedies proposed in WP2, the CAA approaches will be improved in terms of turbulence representation and near-, mid- and far-field noise predictions. WP3 aims also at improving the analytical methods which are of significant importance to assess the noise around airports in term of EPNdB (Effective Perceived Noise in Decibels) and to help interpretation of the numerical results.
WP4 assesses the influence of the successive improvements in the numerical and analytical approaches and identifies the best-suited AFN prediction tools to be integrated into industrial processes in the future.
Expected Results
This project, being an essential step towards new efficient AFN reduction concepts and their optimisation, impacts the EU directly by:
- providing a high quality experimental database for validation on broadband noise associated with generic configurations representative of the most 'noise-dangerous' AFN mechanisms;
- validating and improving Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) / CAA tools for broadband AFN prediction within an expected accuracy of 1 dB, and generating a detailed numerical database;
- identifying the best suited AFN prediction tools which may have the potential to be integrated into industrial processes in the future, for designing efficient AFN reduction technologies expected to result in a further 3 - 5 dB overall AFN gain during approach (compared to 2000 state of the art).
VALIANT will also improve cost efficiency by reducing the design and development costs. This will be achieved by providing efficient AFN prediction tools in terms of CPU time reduction and by allowing a partial replacement of extremely expensive experiments aimed at testing and optimising AFN reduction technologies by reliable numerical predictions.
Finally, VALIANT will promote the participation of organisations from International Co-operation Partner Countries by building a strong collaboration with Russia, relying on their complementary expertise in aero-acoustics.

Germany Bundesliga match between the teams on Hamburger SV and Werder Bremen.The other matches for today in the Bundesliga are Hannover 96 versus FC Augsburg,Mainz versus Bayer Leverkusen,Nurnberg hosting Borussia Dortmund,VfL Wolfsburg versus Hoffenheim and the last is derby between Schalke 04 and Bayern Munchen.
Hamburger SV at home for me looking better team than Werder Bremen who lose the last 3 rounds,while Hamburger SV wasnt that bad in the first 65 minutes versus Borussia Dortmund.
Hannover 96 is one strong home team,while FC Augsburg cant impress too much to be favorite to win this visit.So home win is more valuable today.
Mainz versus Bayer Leverkusen is one interesting match ,but Bayer Leverkusen is a little better team and today should to win this visit ,but the draw is a better because their match versus Manchester Utd in Champions league.
Nurnberg hosting Borussia Dortmund and the angry birds should to get revenge because disappointed match in Neapol.
Schalke 04 cant be such a outsider at home versus Bayern Munchen and if the guests win today i think should be maximum with goal more.

"Jiddah--the narrator of my tedious life's story" Top 5 Page for this destination Jiddah by Manyana
Jiddah Travel Guide: 724 reviews and 1,319 photos
I have lived in this stunning hometown for nearly 20 years, that is, my whole life,lol. Funny enough, I have found myself falling short of taking pictures of my surroundings back then. Probably I did, but left them behind for some reasons! I used to take lots of pictures of my museum bedroom, our home garden, my college entrance and corridors, and loads of the corniche coast of the Red Sea. Yes, I do remember noting down the moments of connection with each one of these places as if they had their own time and age only with me. But when the time of leaving came, I just had to leave them all, otherwise, they would have kept me back with them. Surprisingly I have not written enough, nor considered to share my sweet memories and and convictions which I have always held with me about Jeddah. I am not sure why, probably I was just soaked in it that I could never look at it as an outsider or tell its story through objective spectacles! After leaving my soft comfortable bed and cosy sofa in Jeddah for nearly a year now, thriving memories have started to pull me back and to call me again to remember them one more time. So here I go again, take the courage to wipe the dust away from my green diary book and yellow torn scrabbled papers on my lovely town, on Jeddah:^)
Growing up in this controversial culture, I have learnt to defend my views, no matter what they were, to have a very strong sense of identity and purpose. This was good in itself, yes...to sustain who I was, but sadly I might have hurt lots of signficant others without prior knowledge. Honestly, Jeddah is a grand witness to my rebellious childhood, romantic teenage and wise early adulthood. How can I resist to love it? Even if I want to, I won't be able to.
In these pages, they may act as personal journals having a very private touch, sad tears or hysteric laughs. Somehow, i take pride in continuing being who I am. I will narrate my story with Jeddah as I used to see it and as I am seeing now, what should be said and what could be different. I will also write about History, Culture, Education, Corniche, Dating, Weddings and Death, Eid and Money gifts, Ramadan and Tents and many other things that I have lived and been meant to pass on.
The city is historically divided in two parts; Old Jeddah in the south, and New Jeddah in the north. The first used to be a small city sheilded by a wall to defend the inhabitants from any outside attacks. This part is mainly historical now and inhabited by 90% non-Saudis and major companies that have the lead for the last 70 years. It also used to have its own airport for the Hajj season. Nothing remains of the wall but only the big gates as Jeddah is expanding northward and the old airport is idle now and has moved 50 km away from its previous location. North Jeddah (New) is technically divided into social classes. Depending on the district, you are more likely to tell the social class of a particular family. Al Rawdha, Al Hamra, part of Al Zahra are the high-class districts. Other areas can be a mix of upper and lower middle-class like Al Salama, Al Shatee, and Al Naeem and many others. However, Jeddah is rapidly growing and has auto-created residential areas beyond the airport borders specially it used be a barren desert! Al Mohammadiyya or Al Basateen are the modern districts now, newly built villas and houses are seen over there. This part of Jeddah is exploding with shopping malls and as Jeddawy people say,
"for every Saudi , there is a shopping mall.
In 5 years, there will be one mall for every GCE,
So in 10 years a mall for every Arab":^D
Kol Shai Jaayiz! possible!
Almohem...anyway, Quickies:
- Language spoken: Arabic Hijazi is widely spoken, which is close to Makkah or Medina's dialect with slight differences in use of expressions.
- Population: 2,800,000
- Ethnic groups: Jeddah acts the door for international pilgrims to the Two Holy Mosques. Around 70 years ago, immigrants have settled down in Jeddah from Yemen, Egypt, Malaysia, post Soviet Union countries, Morocco, Turkey and many others. You can hardly spot the ethnic origin of families. The bottom line, we are proudly 80% melted. We are Jeddaweyyeen:^)
- Education: host for one of the biggest universities in the Kingdom; King Abdul Aziz University
- Coastal line: 40 km long
- International Airport: King Abdul Aziz Airport with two terminals; Saudi Airline South Terminal and Foreign Airlines North Terminal. Well both need instant emergent refurbishment,lol.
- Known as: Arous al Bahr al Ahmar; the Bride of the Red Sea
- Festivals: Summer and Ramadan Shopping Festivals; nahhh discounts and cars.
- Temprature: Summer 40C - Winter 17C.
- Famous for: the Islamic Seaport and sealife, and shopping.
Yimken, perhaps I might be a bit bias in areas or better to say subjective. But isn't this what makes us unique? I love knowing about cultural traditions, religious practices and local customs. So you may find me write thoroughly on the traditions and conventions. Just be ready if you like this aspect about traveling....across the Arab-mixed culture in Jeddah
- Pros:shopping malls, restaurants
- Cons:rocky beaches

Loved reading through your local customs tips! I had no hair until I was almost a year old, there wouldn't have been a lot of money for charity with me!
I have heard about great bSaudi food made of Dumba meat & Rice. Saudi Biriyanis are also great. Excellent page on Jiddah. Shall come back for more. Write on something very Saudi!! I enjoyed my virtual trip to Saudi.
I Love to pretend I am deaf and can't find my hearing aid when I get unwanted calls-salesmen etc . Phone Dating-thats a FANTASTIC TIP!
I love your tips. You get those people who just keep calling and calling all over the world. Whistle into the phone. They don't like that ;)
hope to cu out there again
id like to know more about women riding Horses in Saudi, my husband is saudi and I am american. Are you allowed to ride in an arena here..alone? DO you have a web address for this place or e-mail address? e-mail me firstname.lastname@example.com
Very, very interesting tips from the perspective of a young Arab woman! I especially liked your thoughts on 'why men should be veiled!' Good idea! Cover the men' uncover the women:):)
I though you were in london because of your profile, you seem to live there. How's your job then?
I was in Jeddah many years ago (left in 1975 to be precise). All changed I'm sure. The tallest building that impressed everyone so much was the Queens building in the souk. North of the Creek there were a few beach compounds but nothing else.

My dd is 3 1/2. She does pretty well during the day - pooping (finally!) and peeing in the toilet or "little-girl" potty. However... we are nowhere near the overnight thing.
The kid loves her milk. She still drinks it in a sippy cup (the only time she gets a sippy cup) before bed. Sometimes before brushing teeth; sometimes after (I know... I know....).
She also likes to have water in a sippy cup for overnight - she doesn't always drink the water but sometimes she does. She definitely is "cuddling" her sippy cup at night.
Is this SO terrible?
On the other hand, she is wet every morning as a result. I did convince her once to try and go overnight w/o a diaper which meant no milk or water, and if she didn't have an accident, she could have a small piece of chocolate with breakfast! After much consideration, she agreed. But, she wet the bed at about 5a. I gave her the chocolate anyway b/c I didn't want to "punish" her for having an accident.
I am probably doing all sorts of wrong things here - and could use some tips....hints....etc.
I am new to this board so I hope I can figure out if I get replies! :)
Thanks Moms!

Steve Goldstein: Arizona Republican Congressman David Schweikert represents Arizona's 6th Congressional District, which covers the northeastern part of the Phoenix metro area. The Congressman joins me to talk about hot congressional issues, such as problems with the website to register for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Welcome Congressman, good to have you here.
David Schweikert: This is always my idea of fun.
Steve Goldstein: Let's talk about Healthcare.gov. What do you think of the problems? I know you're not a fan of Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act.
David Schweikert: I'm one of those who takes a slightly different philosophical view. I assume the technology will get fixed. But then we now need to deal with what's the underlying marketplace going to look like. What is happening to my access to private insurance, my choices in that option. So my fear is we're spending lots of time fixating on the website, because that's an immediate experience. What will my access to health coverage and my true choice and availability look like a year from now? And that's the real debate that really needs to go on.
Steve Goldstein: Considering Senator McCain is still talking about the fool's errand of House Republicans, the government shutdown, and its relation to overturning the Affordable Care Act, do you think there's a point in time where we'll have discussion on this? The President was in Dallas today talking about things, Kathleen Sebelius was again on Capitol Hill. At what stage do we reach a point where there will be negotiations, where the Republicans say, well the President's not going to, so we give up.
David Schweikert: No, but think about what's happened, for folks who mocked the debates of will the Senate, will the Democrats negotiate with the Republicans -- remember, what was being fought over was should individuals be treated the same as big business and big labor. Should they have to have a mandatory purchase this year, or should that be postponed for the year. That's what the fight over most of the shutdown was about. And literally within 10 days after the government slowdown, refunding and all those things had come back, we're finding out some of our Democrat brothers and sisters are saying, maybe it wasn't such a bad idea, that idea of delaying the individual mandate. So it is sort of fascinating the way it makes the circle of you fight for a concept, get beaten up on it, and a little while later it becomes part of the common wisdom.
Steve Goldstein: Then, when we think about this idea of bipartisanship. We've talked about this before, is it really there? When we look at it as outsiders it seems the bitterness is so pungent --
David Schweikert: And this does sort of touch on a conversation I've had once before. My great fear is do these sorts of fights become the new normal. There's such a battle for shrinking resources. As mandatory spending continues to grow and grow, this year it will be 67 percent of all spending, Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. In just a couple years it's 75 percent. A couple years after that it starts to approach 80 percent. As mandatory spending, as the entitlements consume every next incremental dollar there will be this constant battle of who gets the remaining crumbs on the table. I fear that's what you're seeing right now, the battle over the resources.
Steve Goldstein: But you're a numbers guy and you understand the numbers.
David Schweikert: Uh-huh.
Steve Goldstein: Do people higher up in leadership on both sides, don't know the numbers, they don't want to talk about the numbers?
David Schweikert: It's the sin of politics and then the sin of man. Politics is immediate, what's great on "Horizon" tonight, what gets in the newspaper story, what spikes the base. When you sit in front of an audience and say we need to do this in Medicare to keep it actuarially sound, people stare at you and think you're really boring. The reality is that's the 10-thousand-pound gorilla in the room. If we don't make changes in our mechanics in Medicare, it'll consume every last incremental dollar in the future. If we continue to postpone big decisions, the fighting becomes the new normal.
Steve Goldstein: At what point does the political hot potato become something that realistically will be dealt with?
David Schweikert: It becomes dealt with, I believe when either the left or right can no longer use it as a political wedge. That I thought would be one of the great stories out of the 2012 presidential race. When we saw the final polling, Medicare and scaring people over it, using it as a whipping boy didn't really move voters like it had in past elections. Are we seeing a time where the voting public is actually a hell of a lot smarter right now than a lot of the political class? And the political class now needs to catch up with the population who understands, we need to do something big, we need the President to show up and provide leadership, and those of us in Congress need to be willing to, when the hand is reached out, to grab it.
Steve Goldstein: One issue was supposed to be a biggie, and that was immigration reform. How do House Republicans see this issue?
David Schweikert: I don't know if I can speak for all House Republicans, but some of the ones we've been working with and those from the southwest, where we take it very seriously, see a path where you can have discussion, maybe even work through the very, very detailed drafting that has to be done incrementally. But one of my great frustrations is, think about this, the House three or four times over the last couple years have passed the STEM, high tech, high skilled visas, and they have gone over to the Senate and disappeared. Is this just another occasion where it's really good politics if you're on the left, and why would they want to work with us as we do the incremental pieces of legislation so we can get the details right. My fear once again is I see lots of folks who will come in and say, we'll support the Gang of Eight bill. And then you pull it out, and it's about that big, and they say, do you actually know what's in it? And they have no concept. It's one thing to be in love with the concept. It's another thing to deal with the devil in the details and the drafting and how it really works. That's where we're at is how do you get the details correct.
Steve Goldstein: As a number guys though many people would point to immigration reform as an economic issue. If in fact we know who's here, we know where they are working, that will help us in the economy. Do you believe that?
David Schweikert: It's more than that. It's dramatically bigger than that. The real fight in D.C. over immigration is something you almost never hear talked about even on a set like that. It's whatever we pass today will probably be with us for another quarter century. What will our immigration system look like over that time? Will it be more like Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia where they use sort of a point system, saying we're looking for mechanical engineers or Canada had something I believe where they were desperate for nurse practitioners. They use a point scoring system. Part of that is they are trying to maximize economic growth, at the same time being open to immigration. How do you bring in populations that also help the economic growth? It goes back to what we were talking about before. If it's true that our country now is going to be flat-lined to run two percent GDP growth -- that's what congressional folks are saying, we will have these fights over resources -- if you're going to deal with immigration, do you deal with it in a way that maximizes economic growth? Let's take care of what annoys us today, what's difficult today, but what we're doing will be with us for a quarter century.
Steve Goldstein: Two percent GDP is a pretty scary number.
David Schweikert: It's horrific. If you look at the actual data, it's devastating because just the incremental growth in entitlements with baby boomers retiring creates just an absolute war over remaining resources. My great hope -- and that's actually why people like me have fixated on things like their jobs. The items of policy or tax reform, how do you have policies that can be bipartisan but grow the economy? Because unless you have that economic growth, the future is pretty scary. On the flip side, if you have the economic growth, there's a pretty shiny light at the end of that tunnel.
Steve Goldstein: So who or what do you blame for the fact that two percent coming out of a deep recession -- we're not used to two percent of growth out of a deep recession.
David Schweikert: No, this is not like the others. We're out of the recession, we've hit this sort of stagnant growth. Has there ever been a time like this where the regulatory burden has grown the way it has. The tax burden has actually increased in this last year. A lot of the mechanics that would be typically embraced to sort of goose an economy along haven't been engaged in. We saw things like cash for clunkers, first-time home buyers credit, stimulus, a lot of those had short-term spikes but actually just created deferred consumption. So I got the spike, but its future actually turned out to be somewhat negative. So we need to sort of rethink, can you do something that stays with you year after year after year. That's where tax reform and regulatory reform, even from my view of the world, much more competition and choice in the health care system, those things maximize economic velocity.
Steve Goldstein: Republican members of Congress hate when I do this. I probably shouldn't, because it's more than four years ago. The Bush administration had horrible times with this economy, too. Was there something fundamentally changing even a decade ago with this economy that's going to be hard to recover, regardless of who's in the White House?
David Schweikert: I've actually thought a lot about this. My fear is a lot of us don't truly understand how woven government policy is in even things you consider free market. Think of someone who has bought all the books about the crash and read literally everyone's analysis. There's a common theme, if we stepped back years ago, things we did in the Community Reinvestment Act that were well-meaning created markets for toxic paper. So in many ways just that, and there's dozens of these sorts of examples out there. What was well-meaning government policy created a cascade of unintended consequences.
Steve Goldstein: Seems like we're running into unintended consequences quite a bit, when it comes to government action.
David Schweikert: There's also an opportunity to embrace and understand that. There's things you can do in banking regulations that would make the banks more robust. But yet dramatically cut the regulatory costs by just changing, say, why don't you hold 15 percent equity capital. If you do that we'll make it so you only have one major audit a year instead of dozens and dozens and dozens. There are ideas out there that I think the right and left can embrace, that stop this sort of fragility we seem to have woven into our economy, because of government action.
Steve Goldstein: How much of a disconnect is there between the regular economy, the jobs economy, and the Dow doing so well, for example?
David Schweikert: That I see substantially as a function of the chase for a rate of return. If you're literally in a zero interest rate world, and I know we weren't going to talk about monetary policy, but one day that would be a fun show. Where do you put your money? And if the Dow -- if stocks look like they are producing a rate of return, you're going to take your zero rate of return cash and put it there. What happens when we start to go through a normalization of interest rates? It's a tremendous threat to government finances, because today our interest coverage is only one third what normal interest rates would be. People don't understand, our interest burden if we were back to normal would be almost every dollar of discretionary spending. On the flip side, how much would come back out of equity and into fixed income because of the rate of return. I always resnt when people look at the stock market and say well, government policy -- you guys voted on something and the market went up or down. Sorry, that linkage is a little more ethereal than that.
Steve Goldstein: One issue that has very little to do with money but is very close to your heart is the issue of valley fever, which seems to really hit Arizona and Bakersfield, California. Those seem to be the places. Tell us about the legislation.
David Schweikert: One of the things I have a personal fixation on is for those of us in the southwest, remember, there's only really four counties in the United States that have valley fever and three of them are here in Arizona. We need to have a voice because you get back east and say, we have a valley fever problem out here and they stare at you and say what's that. There's Doctor Galgiani at U of A who's done some amazing work. There are alternatives, but today your only treatment really is a drug called fluconazole. There are next-generation drugs if we can get the CDC and others to step up and provide the compounds so they can be tested. Even Dr. Galgiani has been working on some ideas and may be closer than I originally hoped to something that might be a prophylactic, a vaccine. The Congressman from Bakersfield who's majority whip, and a number of us, bipartisan, have come together from the Southwest and are trying to get the folks in D.C. and in the bureaucracy to pay attention to a disease that's unique to us. How do we deal with this fungi? I think we're making some progress.
Steve Goldstein: A few years ago, I had the chance to talk to Dr. Einstein, the cousin of Albert Einstein, who lived in Bakersfield and was one of the foremost people in this field of valley fever. He said he hated to say this, but in order to get more attention to valley fever it would be nice if someone really famous got it and went out and started doing ads for it.
David Schweikert: We've had some of that happen. We've had the baseball pitcher that didn't know what he had and didn't know what he had, and it literally wasn't diagnosed until much later. That's one of the fears. If 70 percent of cases are here in our community. Most people, if you've lived here a long time, you've had valley fever. I'm a severe asthmatic, I have scarring on my lungs; we always assumed it was from valley fever. Even my canine is getting the fluconazole pills right about now. It affects our community. There is hope, there are ways to deal with it and fix it. But we need public awareness, awareness in the medical community, that someone comes in with pneumonia-like symptoms, it needs to be looked at. We need to push for a regulatory body, a better way to diagnose, something fast and quick to know, yes, you may have valley fever, we're seeing it on the skin test, now what do we do. We've had amazing progress in the last six months and this is just one of those personal fixations we will keep working on.
Steve Goldstein: Is the rest of the Arizona delegation on board?
David Schweikert: Everyone in Arizona has been really good about this. This is just one I have a long personal history with family and friends. I had the experience of meeting a young man who literally had his spine literally dissolved. It was stunning. it would rip your heart out. A young man who had been a very robust construction worker in Mesa, and today his spine is held together by metal and it was actually from valley fever. There are extreme cases, and when you understand they are out there, how can you not be passionate about trying to find a cure.
Steve Goldstein: Again, bipartisanship always comes up, you and I talked about political theater before. How much of that is political theater? How much of that is people really at each other's throats?
David Schweikert: You mean in D.C.?
Steve Goldstein: Uh-huh.
David Schweikert: A lot of it actually is theater because we all get our news in these little clips on television. But you would be stunned, even during the government slowdown, how much discussion was going on in the back room saying you do realize we wish the President would talk about entitlements also, but he won't even talk to us. That was one of my Democrat friends sharing. Sometimes there's a lot more concession. We call it the elevator conversation that never makes the nightly news.
Steve Goldstein: Thank you very much.
David Schweikert: Enjoyed it.

Hi ladies, so glad this group is already created!
I'm Rachel. I'm 30 and have a wonderful DH and 2 year old daughter, Nora.
I used to think I was going to be mainstream before having Nora. But thanks to Babycenter when I was pregnant, I found a wonderful group of AP/gentle mamas who showed me that what I was missing! It's all about instincts!
I'm not going to categorize myself 100% of anything, but I'm gentle, partially AP, totally pro-breastfeeding, I love babywearing and making baby food, and would never lay a hand on my child or let them CIO. I try to eat organic, but its so expensive in the midwest, but most of Nora's food and all of her snacks are organic.
I am always learning more ways to be crunchy and could definitely use some awesome cooking tips!
I'm glad to meet you all!

Splunk Software Helps New York Air Brake Provide The U.S. Railroad Industry Potential To Save $1 Billion
Splunk Inc. (NASDAQ:SPLK), provider of the leading software platform for real-time operational intelligence, today announced that New York Air Brake (NYAB) is using Splunk® Enterprise to index, monitor, analyze and visualize sensor data from more than 5,000 locomotives, leading to safer railways and significant cost savings for U.S. rail companies. Splunk software is being used by LEADER®, NYAB's advanced train control system that alerts engineers about ideal driving conditions and defines better driver strategies to save money. NYAB reports that the system gives the U.S. railroads the potential to save up to $1 billion in fuel and other costs. Watch the New York Air Brakes video and read the case study to learn more about NYAB's ride with Splunk software. "Splunk software significantly enhances LEADER's capabilities to help railroads improve safety while also uncovering massive savings. Our customers have the potential to save a combined one billion dollars a year in fuel and other costs," said Greg Hrebek, director of engineering at NYAB's Train Dynamic Systems Division. "With Splunk Enterprise, we can capture a variety of sensor data right off the rails in real time, then analyze and correlate it to discover hidden ways to define the best driver strategies. This might range from warning an engineer to back off the throttle five percent to increase fuel efficiency or alerting an engineer that gravitational forces threaten to create a dangerous situation a few miles down the track. This is the Internet of Things at its finest."NYAB leverages Splunk software to analyze train forces, fuel activity, engineer driving behavior, rail track topography, weather conditions and other key performance perimeters that deliver real-time and historical insights for improved train safety and performance optimization. Currently in operation with a number of Class I railroads, NYAB reports that its LEADER system is delivering fuel savings in the range of eight to 12 percent, amounting to a tremendous reduction in fuel budgets, emissions, and maintenance for the railroad companies.

Downsizing may be appealing, but consider these first
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
SINA Corp ( SINA ) subsidiary Weibo Corp recently filed an amended F-1, under which it offered 20 million American Depository Shares (ADS) at a price range of $17.00 to $19.00. At the mid-point of the price range, Weibo expects to raise $360.0 million.
Launched by SINA in Aug 2009, Weibo is also known as China's Twitter ( TWTR ). Weibo primarily offers short messaging/micro blogging service in Chinese and has approximately 143.8 million monthly active users (MAUs) worldwide. Goldman Sachs ( GS ) and Credit Suisse ( CS ) are the primary underwriters.
It is noteworthy that Weibo selected Nasdaq ( NDAQ ) for listing and will trade under the symbol "WB." Post-IPO, SINA's stake in Weibo will decline to 58.0% from 78.0%, while Alibaba's stake will jump to 32.0% from approximately 19.0%. Alibaba invested approximately $585.0 million in Apr 2013.
Through the ADS issue, the public will own 9.0% and management and employees will own 1% (down from 2.7%). Per Forbes, Weibo appears to be fairly priced based on its current valuation of $4.0 billion, which is approximately one-thirteenth of Baidu 's ( BIDU ) market cap of $52.0 billion.
Weibo generates advertising revenues mostly from display ads, which were introduced in 2012 and to a much lesser extent from promoted feeds, which were introduced in 2013. The company's revenues increased significantly from $65.9 million in 2012 to $188.3 million in 2013.
Advertising and marketing contributed 78.8% of revenues in 2013. Mobile revenues accounted for 28.0% of SINA's advertising and marketing revenues in 2013.
We believe that Weibo's post-IPO performance will significantly depend on its mobile user growth and monetization efforts. However, intensifying competition from Tencent's Wechat and Weixin remains a major headwind.
Moreover, a successful Weibo IPO will boost SINA's share price going forward. However, strict Chinese government regulations and concerns related to accounting standards can dampen Weibo's IPO.
Currently, SINA has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).

Festivities on despite danger of wildfires
Published: Saturday, July 1, 2006 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 30, 2006 at 11:00 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | A wildfire warning for the state of Alabama will have little effect on local Independence Day celebrations, city officials said Friday.
Safety tips
When Grilling:
Personally, I havent heard that weve made any changes," said Tuscaloosa Deputy Fire Chief Marvin Tant.
A call to the Northport Fire Department produced a similar response. Tuscaloosa Fire Marshal Curtis Dykes could not be reached for comment.
The Alabama Forestry Commission declared a Red Flag Warning" for all 67 Alabama counties Thursday in response to drought-like conditions throughout the state and the impending holiday.
The warning will last through July 5 unless extended by the state forester. There are no restricted burning orders in effect at this time, and city fire officials just ask residents to take care when using fire.
Typically we just caution people to be more aware when burning fires," Tant said.
The AFC advises grillers to make sure coals are cold and dead before dumping them, and that campers keep plenty of water at hand when using open fires.
Don Kelly, director of the Tuscaloosa Park and Recreation Authority, said the warning would have little effect on the citys celebrations. Open fires are forbidden in city parks anyway, though grills are allowed.
Kelly said the only challenge for city officials would be keeping fireworks out of the parks.
Its hard to keep them out," he said. Well have to be on our toes."
To have a fire warning at all this time of year is strange, one state official said.
This is very unusual for summer in Alabama," said Coleen Vansant, information manager for the AFC. Usually we dont have fires in the summertime."
Vansant said the warning was prompted in part by a high-pressure system over the state that has driven temperatures up and humidity down, a combination that the National Weather Service said is a perfect recipe for wildfires.
The big thing is, its very dry and very hot, and the sun angle is very high this time of year," said Michael Scott, a meteorologist with the NWS. It pretty much bakes the moisture out of any vegetation. You can definitely start fires pretty easily in this type of environment."
And though forecasters predict an increased chance of rain across the state for the middle of next week, Vansant warns that, short of heavy, regular showers, there is no quick fix.
It takes a long time to get into a drought situation, and it takes a long time to get out of it," Vansant said.
Tuscaloosa is not officially in a drought, but received only 1.27 inches of rain in June. The average for June is 3.7 inches. Still, Tuscaloosa County was one of 48 counties that Gov. Riley on Friday declared disaster areas due to drought.
The declaration makes the county eligible for emergency loans from the Farm Service Agency. Farmers in 48 counties have suffered significant losses due to drought and high temperatures.
Farmers interested in the loans should contact their local USDA Service Center.

AAA Carolinas expected more than a million North Carolinians will drive to their Thanksgiving dinners, an increase over last year.
The travel club said a total of 1,291,000 North Carolinians are expected to travel 50 miles or more from home, with motorists composing about 90 percent of all travelers.
When those motorists stop for gas, they will find prices are lower than they were on Labor Day.
North Carolina gas prices are averaging $3.23, down 28 cents from Sept. 2. The price this year is also eight cents less than motorists paid last Thanksgiving.
The highest average price in North Carolina is in Asheville at $3.30 per gallon of unleaded. The least expensive average price is in Fayetteville at $3.18.

ShowaRead on for four weekend dining and imbibing ideas.
Play bocce. Von Trapp's, the Bavarian "bier hall" at 912 12th Ave. is a Chuck E. Cheese's for hipsters: Five bocce courts take the place of ball pits, brats replace sausage pizza, and Viennese chandeliers hang instead of track lighting. Proust!
Bid adieu to Showa. Sadly, you only have two weekends left to eat at Japanese snack bar Showa at 701 N. 36th St. Owners Taichi Kitamura and Steve Tamura confirmed the sale via Facebook. The duo plans to focus on their other restaurant: Eastlake's Sushi Kappo Tamura. Showa officially closes Feburary 24, so now is the time to wish fond farewells to staff--and eat a bowl of steamy kotteri ramen.
Say this name ten times fast: Von's 1000SPIRITS GustoBistro opens today at 1225 1st Ave. The modern, bright new location is a 180 from Von's previous, well-worn digs at 601 Pine St. Some nice pictures of the space are over on Eater.
Celebrate T?t. Food stars at the annual T?t in Seattle Festival in honor of Vietnamese New Year. Although the actual start of the lunar calendar was last Sunday, festivities and edibles will be featured at the Seattle Center this Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

I am not able to view my Purchased Apps. The message reads "The requested times out." There is a lock with a circle around it in the corner of the ipad located next to the battery power. I am able to get into the Apple Store.
Any suggestions? I would appreciate it.
Thank You,
Melissa Hart
Retrieving data ...

I was used to the following
Tree definition:
data Tree a = Empty | Node a (Tree a) (Tree a)
until I ran into this one somewhere:
data Tree a = Empty | Leaf a | Node a (Tree a) (Tree a)
which makes me wonder about Haskell idioms.
Leaf a is just
Node a Empty Empty, should this constructor exist? We could remove
Empty as well, using a unique constructor like
Tree (Maybe (a, (Tree a), (Tree a)))
or something like that.
The second definition I wrote is the "most expanded" one and the first is halfway between it and the last one. What's practically and theorically the best one? In other words, what about performance and data-types' design?
