Question: Go Banana Go!: Music For Stir-Crazy Kids (And Parents) In Quarantine

Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR

There's really no deep meaning behind the songs on Go Banana Go!'s debut album, Hi-YA! Band member Brian Wecht says the songs were mostly written with the simple goal of helping his daughter unwind. "It's such a good opportunity for her to be silly and have fun and just go crazy in the middle of all this wild stuff that's happening," he says. For kids going stir crazy staying at home during the coronavirus pandemic, Hi-YA! offers some goofy songs to take their minds off of everything serious. The album has upbeat, ridiculous tunes about eating cookies and tying shoelaces, dinosaur chicken nuggets, stinky diapers and, of course, bananas. Songwriter and producer Jim Roach has worked with Sara Bareilles, Linkin Park and Amy Schumer. He says so much children's music is educational or saccharine, so for this album, he and Wecht wanted something different. "Sometimes you're like, let's just get weird and let kids let their imaginations go wild," he says. "We were like, let's be the left-of-center kids' band where there's no lessons, there's no pretext — let's just have super-silly fun. So that was kind of our mantra as we were writing this." The duo met two years ago. Wecht, once a theoretical physics professor at Queen Mary University in London, had retired from academia and pivoted to comedy music with the bands Starbomb and Ninja Sex Party. "I have a 5-year-old daughter named Audrey, and I would make up these little songs for her in the morning just to move things along and be silly and have a good time or drive to school," Wecht says. One day when he and Roach were in the studio on another project, they realized they were both doing that for their children. "After singing all these ridiculous songs around the house," Roach says, "my wife's like, 'You are insane for not making a kids' album.' " So last summer, the two formed Go Banana Go!, named by Roach's 8-year-old daughter Kennedy. For one song on their album, they recruited another friend — voice actor Flula Borg, who appeared in Pitch Perfect 2 and voiced characters in Trolls World Tour and the Netflix series Boss Baby: Back in Business. "I have the brain of a caffeinated reindeer and the curiosity of a frog," Borg says. "And so I thought this was the perfect reason to try to team up with them and confuse everyone with half-German, half-English, nonsensical mayhem. Which is what we did." The voices of Roach and Wecht's children appear on Borg's song "German Lessons," and many of the other songs on the album. They often inspired the lyrics, as well: For instance, Audrey Wecht came up with "The Queen of No Share" and "Pizza Feet." "She was walking around with a pizza box on her feet, screaming, 'I've got pizza feet!' And I was just like, 'Well, that's a song,'" says her proud papa. During our interview, as we spoke about being with our kids at home under quarantine, my 8-year-old daughter Amaya interrupted to announce she was going to give our cat a bath. "Brian, we definitely need to write a song about giving a cat a bath," Roach enthused, "because it is a disaster every time. Cat Bath!" "Cat Bath." Just like that, a silly song was born.

Most see the end of the year as a cause for celebration, but not NPR Music's interns. Our time here has come to an end. We'll miss the  perks -- the in-office concerts and the occasional free vegan cupcake, to name  a few. We'll miss the people, too -- these are some of the sharpest minds  in online media. They've made us better writers and given us a pretty  good idea of where music journalism is headed, and not once have we been  called on to pick up the coffee. When it comes to overseers, none are as benevolent as these people. So naturally,  we were pretty stoked when we were invited to take part in the making  of NPR Music's year-end list of 50 Favorite Albums. And when the time  came for the team to battle it out on behalf of the bands we love, we  were ready. With a fearlessness that could only be described as cute, we  put forth our favorite music of the year. What  followed was nothing short of an onslaught. One by one, they dissected  and disposed of our suggestions without pity. Granted, they tried to be  polite about it, but that was a wasted effort. These were not just albums  that were being brushed aside -- these were our favorites. Our tastes and  sensibilities were being called into question. We were left with nothing  but our rejected records to console us. Our tear stains have dried, but our egos remain damaged. To effectively repair them, we've taken a cue from the spring interns and created a list of songs from the year that the staff somehow  missed. We even asked interns from earlier this year to toss in their  picks. This isn't just another year-end list -- this is the redemption of  our musical tastes. As you'll hear, we think we've earned it. AUDIE CORNISH, host:  From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.  At the end of the year, NPR Music producers get together to choose their 50 favorite albums of the year, and those are posted online.  But there are also interns at NPR Music, and before they go, we want to let them champion music they admire. So we've asked Andre Barnes and Erik Myers and Sarah Ventre to lobby for music that didn't get on the list at those sessions.  SARAH VENTRE: We got to sit in on those meetings. So we definitely got to give our opinion. But it was not always one that everyone else agreed with.  CORNISH: Okay, well, Sarah, give us your top pick.  (Soundbite of song, "In the Waiting Room")  VENTRE: This is a band that flew past everyone's radar. They're a little bit of Girth. The band is called Terry Malts, and song is called "In the Waiting Room."  (Soundbite of song, "In the Waiting Room")  TERRY MALTS (Music Group): (Singing) (unintelligible).  VENTRE: I love this band for a lot reasons. One of the things I noticed since I've been here is that I'm from the West, I'm from Arizona, and I think that my sense of aesthetic is really different than a lot of people on the East Coast.  And I feel like Terry Malts kind of marries the confident, edgy big talk of the East Coast and then this sort of reverb-laden, sun-drenched sound of the West.  CORNISH: I feel, is this some of this lo-fi that I've been hearing about?  VENTRE: Yeah, absolutely.  CORNISH: I feel like I've heard this with Best Coast and a couple other bands that have that sort of - the vocals are buried somewhere in sand and beach sounds.  VENTRE: Exactly. You hit it right on the head. It's lo-fi and gritty, but it's still kind of light and catchy.  CORNISH: Another choice. I want to hear from Andre.  ANDRE BARNES: Yeah, so I chose a song called "Black Coffee" by a duo, actually a hip-hop duo, called Panacea.  (Soundbite of song, "Black Coffee")  PANACEA (Music Duo): (Rapping) (Unintelligible).  BARNES: They're really this kind of obscure hip-hop duo. Not a lot of people know about them, but they've been around for a long time, so...  CORNISH: And where are they from?  BARNES: They're from D.C. They're a DJ and emcee duo, and, you know, that's kind of an old tradition in hip-hop, but they sort of take it to another level. Raw Poetic, that's the emcee in the duo, he's a very smart and conscious emcee, and K-Murdock, his production is very futuristic, space-age.  (Soundbite of song, "Black Coffee")  PANACEA: (Rapping) (Unintelligible).  CORNISH: So I see what you mean. It's a very kind of traditional hip-hop rapping style over some kind of good electronic influence.  BARNES: Right, right, definitely. So.  CORNISH: All right. Thanks, Andre. Now we have one more, and Erik.  ERIK MYERS: Yes.  CORNISH: You've brought us a band called...  MYERS: Gauntlet Hair.  (Soundbite of song, "I Was Thinking")  MYERS: I really like these guys because - this song, by the way, is called "I Was Thinking." I really like these guys, I'll admit, because they come from my home state of Colorado. They're really good at reverb, you know.  A lot of bands are doing that these days, and, you know, I'm not always that impressed with the results. But these guys, I don't know. They make it sound, you know, really

Question: Lana Del Rey Comes To 'Saturday Night Live' And Leaves Controversies Behind

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details

There are three types of people currently reading this blog post about Lana Del Rey: those who reflexively rolled their eyes upon reading the very words "Lana Del Rey" just now, those who have no idea why the words "Lana Del Rey" would provoke autonomic eye-rolling and those who scoff at the thought that people can be divided into only three types. The last group, there is no hope for. Those people are just the worst. The other two are on a collision course, ready to smack head-on into one another tomorrow night. For that is when Miss Del Rey (neé Miss Grant, about which let me say more in a sec) makes her American television debut – two weeks ahead of the release of her first album Born To Die – by performing on the Daniel Radcliffe-hosted Saturday Night Live and what has been largely the province of online music and pop-culture tastemakers gets unleashed upon the populace at large. To appreciate the weight of this, there are two things that you must understand about Del Rey. First, she is almost universally loathed by most of the major music blogs. And second, the first fact is almost entirely unimportant. What's the problem with Del Rey? I'm going to tell you, but before I do, I must warn you that what I have to say is so shocking, it will rattle you to your very core and almost certainly send you to join the chorus of Internet naysayers eagerly panting their dismay. If you are not sitting down now, you almost certainly will be when I reach the end of the next sentence: Her name is not really Lana Del Rey. Okay, there's a little bit more to it than that. For a rundown on the matter, I humbly direct you to this marvelous Awl piece, which discusses how the erstwhile Lizzy Grant committed the inexcusable crime of coming from a privileged upbringing. It's worth mentioning that writer Adam Rosen falls squarely on the side of finding the whole uproar embarrassing for those doing the roaring. It's also worth mentioning that the very first, apparently-not-remotely-ironic reader comment immediately following the piece reads thusly: "Thanks for this. I got as far as 'boarding-school pedigree.' At that point, I knew all I will ever need to know about her." Rosen's pointed call for music fans to respond to bands and singers based on "the simple matter of whether or not someone sucks" might not get much traction in cyberspace. Luckily for Del Rey, the blogstorm that has swirled around her for the past year will become almost entirely irrelevant once Harry Potter introduces her tomorrow night on SNL. As it happens, blogs don't really affect popular success, at least not as far as the mainstream is concerned. The average pop-radio listener – whether it's straight-up Top 40 or niche formats like adult alternative, where Del Rey's dusky songs are likely to end up as a sort of stopgap Neko Case proxy – doesn't know anything about the blogs. (A more cynical wag would say that the average pop-radio listener doesn't know anything about anything, but we refrain from such incendiary remarks.) Nor does he or she care. Such folks have a pesky habit of liking the music they like, with little or no regard to the narrative attached to it unless there's a tabloid component. The hate-on for Del Rey doesn't remotely qualify. Let's step back three and a half years, when pop hopeful Katy Perry hooked up with the Warped Tour, the annual breeding ground for skate punk, emo and sunstroke. (Seriously, people, stay hydrated out there.) The pairing was ridiculous both on the face of it and in practice; she stuck out like a sore, fake thumb playing shows that were cravenly designed to earn her cred from the in crowd. And having failed at that, she licked her wounds, shrugged and went on to become one of the world's biggest pop stars. From a mainstream perspective, credibility is overrated. Perhaps Del Rey can seek solace in the tale of Vampire Weekend, the fresh-faced preppie Ivy Leaguers with a penchant for once-removed (i.e., Western-filtered) African music who faced an awfully similar backlash as 2007 gave way to 2008 and they prepared to release their debut. It happened so far in advance of the record's release, in fact, that there was enough time for a backlash against the backlash to develop. And then, once their album came out and they themselves played SNL, they were met with a chorus of, "Yeah, they're all right." It'd be hard to pin that exclusively on the show, but it's certainly true that the reach of one episode of SNL far exceeds that of the people who've spent the better part of a year howling for Del Rey's head on a platter for acting out to the exact letter one of the core tenets of punk rock, which was the ability to demolish your own past and recreate yourself in whatever image suited you. (Apparently, you now have to submit your proposal to a board for approval first.) Once SNL looses Del Rey on to a public that knows nothing of her past – both her biographical background and her online notoriety – all of that righteous fur

Question: Voting Gets Harder in Florida

Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

In an effort to minimize problems on election day, Florida has become the hardest state in which to vote. New York Times reporter Damien Cave tells Madeleine Brand about new voting restrictions there. ALEX CHADWICK, host:  And Florida, too, is struggling with voting issues. Eight years after the infamous hanging chads election, Florida is again mired in voting controversy.  MADELEINE BRAND, host:  Damien Cave writes about this in today's New York Times, and he's here now. Welcome to the program.  Mr. DAMIEN CAVE (Reporter, New York Times): Thank you.  BRAND: Well, you write in your story that it is now harder to vote here than in nearly every other state in the nation. Why is that?  Mr. CAVE: Well, what happened is, after the 2000 election, several states created a series of laws or policies to secure the voting system, and Florida ended up on the far end of the spectrum. So, at this point, you have a handful of laws. One that manages third-party voter registration groups and makes it harder, a little bit, for them to do their jobs. Another one that makes it harder for voters to have their vote counted, if there's a mistake on their voter registration form. And there's a third one that doesn't allow people to correct mistakes on their voter registration form within a month of the election. So, taken together, these laws, many voting rights advocates argue, make Florida one of the most difficult states to vote, to register to vote and to get your vote counted.  BRAND: Well, taking all three of these provisions in a little more detail, what do the proponents say? Why do they say that Florida needs these?  Mr. CAVE: Well, some of the law makers that I talked to said that Florida needs to err on the side of caution because of what happened in 2000. And that the idea is to create some kind of more transparent system, so that it's very clear on election day, this is what's counted, and this is what's not. You know, the question is whether or not, that kind of transparency will actually happen, in the midst of a heated or close election.  BRAND: And so why do the opponents of these, why do they think that it will unfairly exclude minorities, poor people, older people?  Mr. CAVE: Well, speaking just to the idea of third-party voter registration groups, most of these groups focus on generally under-represented groups, which tend to be Hispanics, blacks, or old people. And a lot of these groups tend to vote Democratic, or so their opponents believe. And so their sense is that, because this is where these groups focus, this is the groups that those legislators are trying to keep from voting or to make it more difficult for them to vote.  BRAND: Well, describe what that provision is, the third party?  Mr. CAVE: What it does is, Florida is one of only two states that have fines for third-party voter registration groups that turn in forms after a ten-day deadline or that lose forms. And some will argue well, that's ten days. That's plenty of time, and they shouldn't lose forms. This is very important, and these groups acknowledge that.   The issue is that, for many of them, they do internal quality control, where they make phone calls to make sure that the accuracy of what's been written is correct, and they also have volunteers. And so, what they fear is that one volunteer, who is a rogue volunteer, or someone who is angry at his boss, might lose a bunch of forms intentionally. And then you have a group like the League of Women Voters that might end up bankrupted by the fine.  BRAND: And then the other provision you mentioned, you can't change the information on your voting form within ten days of an election. Now, I suppose that is to prevent fraud, right?  Mr. CAVE: It's actually within 30 days of the election. And the idea there is, according to the supervisor of elections, is that they need some time to process a lot these things, and that, basically, there's a wave of new voter registration that comes in just before the deadline. And that, if they were allowing people to fix them constantly through this period, it would simply get confused, and they would be overwhelmed.  BRAND: So the upshot being what, that a lot of people aren't going to vote in November?  Mr. CAVE: A scenario that you can imagine is that people go to the polls on election day in Florida and find out either that there's a mismatch or an omission on their registration form, and either they're turned away from the polls, even though they're eligible voters, or they're allowed to file a provisional ballot, but then their vote is not counted. Which would then lead to, possibly, a court dispute or something reminiscent of what happened eight years ago.   This is the worst-case scenario. However, this is what some of these folks fear. That once again, you're going to get into a large dispute over whose vote should be counted, and when and why are they not counted, and which groups are not being represented.  BRAND: Making hanging chads look sort of si

Question: 'Strange Fruit' Shares Uncelebrated, Quintessentially American Stories

Illustrator and historian Joel Christian Gill is full of stories. There's the one about Box Brown, a slave who escaped to freedom by mailing himself in a box, then became an abolitionist speaker. And then there's the story of the first American stage magician, a black man from New Hampshire named Richard Potter. And of course there's Spottswood Rice, a slave who escaped and then wrote two impassioned letters: a heartfelt message to his children still in slavery, and a threat to his former slavemaster. Gill, who teaches at the New Hampshire Institute of Art, has a dozen more tales at the ready. As he tells NPR's Arun Rath, he's made uncovering and sharing these stories into his life's work. Nine stories are collected in his graphic anthology Strange Fruit, Volume 1: Uncelebrated Narratives from Black History — named after the Abel Meeropol poem and Billie Holiday song "Strange Fruit." The book opens with a drawing of a crowd, holding up a lynching rope with the noose cut off — a visual metaphor, Gill says, that shows how far black Americans have come, while living with the reminder of the struggle. One singular U.S. marshal named Bass Reeves warrants his own book. He's the subject of the first installment of Gill's Tales of the Talented Tenth  — a reference to W.E.B. DuBois' idea that a "talented tenth" of the African-American population could lead the rest to social change. Gill tells Rath about the stories that inspire him, how he uses comics to communicate history and why he created the hashtag #28daysarenotenough.  Interview Highlights On Bass Reeves, the black marshal who caught over 4,000 criminals Bass Reeves was a slave, and his master taught him how to shoot. (Because his master didn't want to teach him to read, but he would teach him how to shoot, which is counterproductive in my opinion.) He would travel with him to the Civil War, where [his master] was a colonel. And they got into an argument over a card game. And Bass beat his master up and ran to Indian Territory at the time. And he lived there for a number of years with a number of different tribes, learning the languages, learning the customs, and then he joined a group of irregulars in the Union Army, and he fought in the Union Army. That would have been an amazing thing in and of itself, if his life had stopped there. But he was so good in the Native American territories that Judge Parker, who was called the Lynching Judge [because he hung so many criminals]... was like, "Why don't we deputize some black marshals?" Because the Native Americans didn't trust the white men, because they looked like the outlaws. They were all white. So they deputized Bass Reeves, who had been working as a scout. And Bass became the most successful U.S. marshal in American history. He caught over 4,000 criminals. He couldn't read or write, so he would memorize the warrants. And Bass would go out there. He had a Native American sidekick. He would dress as a preacher, he would dress as a vagabond, as a drunk, as women. He would do all of these different things and do this real detective work. So a lot of historians, including myself, believe that he was the original inspiration for the Lone Ranger. On his use of a caricature in place of the n-word For the n-word, what I typically do is draw a racist caricature of a black person. And if you're not familiar with that, it's sort of this wide-eyed, big-lipped, wide-nosed, really, really dark caricature that you'd find in tobacco ads or magazine ads and cartoons. There's a lot of cartoons, even 1940s and '50s cartoons with that character in them. What I was trying to do with that was separate that actual image from the people that they're describing in the story. So even while they're saying that, you can see that it doesn't look anything like the people that they're talking about. ... Comics [are] really good for things of that nature. Giving you visual information that — in a second you look at that image, but for the most part, all the history is something you've created in your mind. I don't have to write out the entire history of that. You look at that one image and you get what that means. On Black History Month and #28daysarenotenough I founded that hashtag. I was actually giving an interview ... over the summer. And my sister Tiffany was tweeting me. And I said something to the effect of, "These were everybody's stories. We should be talking about them 365 days a year." And my sister said, "I'm with you, because 28 days are not enough." And I thought, 'That's going to be my rallying cry.' ... These stories are quintessentially American stories. I can't say that enough. It's not that I dislike Black History Month. I just don't think Black History Month is enough. And I think that when we say "Black History Month," we have a tendency to go through a greatest hits of all the black historical figures: Dr. King, Malcolm X, George Washington Carver, Thurgood Marshall, President Obama. We talk about these people, and

Question: Trump Senior Adviser Brad Parscale Steps Away From Campaign After Police Incident

Brad Parscale, the former campaign manager and longtime digital strategist to President Trump, has stepped away from his role in the president's re-election effort, campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh confirms to NPR. Last weekend, Parscale was involved in an incident with police that saw him involuntarily hospitalized. In a statement to Politico on Wednesday, Parscale said he was stepping down to seek help for "overwhelming stress" on both him and his family. Over the weekend, Parscale was involuntarily hospitalized after his wife, Candice, called police concerned that Parscale was attempting to harm himself.  According to the police report from that incident, Candice had bruises on both arms from "a few days ago, during a physical altercation with Bradley, which she did not report." In the statement to Politico, Candice refuted the police report that Parscale had physically abused her.  "The statements I made on Sunday have been misconstrued, let it be clear my husband was not violent towards me that day or any day prior," Candice told the publication.  Parscale is stepping away from an already diminished role within the campaign, after having been demoted from campaign manager in July. His departure leaves the already struggling campaign without one of its most long-term advisers.  As Trump's approval rating continues to slump — and amid controversies including his response to the coronavirus pandemic, the bombshell New York Times report on the president's taxes, and Trump's ongoing refusal to outright condemn white supremacists — the campaign is struggling to court voters still undecided in the Nov. 3 race.

Question: Searching for a Reason

"I'm just trying to understand what's happened to me." So many of you have written in with some variation on that. I think about that a lot myself. Having settled — at least for the time being, I hope — the issue of whether any of us deserve what has happened, then how do we make sense of it? Is it just random? Genetics, diet, environment, and so on — none of those really provide a real answer. They may provide a scientific answer at some point, but I don't think that's what we're all looking for. We're trying to understand, not necessarily explain. Some things do happen randomly. We have all heard the stories about the person who gave up a seat on a plane that crashed. Leave early one day and one set of events may happen; leave later, and a totally different day may unfold. That's long been the fodder for science fiction. But is cancer really that random? Just luck of the draw? I think for people who are religious, the answer is easier, at least somewhat. Cancer is something that does test a person's faith. For those who are not religious, screaming "What happened?" out to the night sky is usually just answered by silence. Do we really need to understand? Does it matter how and why my cancer developed the way it did? Knowing all that won't really change anything. And again, I think that what we're trying to understand, all of us, is the larger question. Maybe we just need to know that there is some answer to that question, that it's in our power to understand. Maybe it's just our conceit as human beings that the world, the universe, is open to our understanding. Or maybe, in the end, we need to somehow find out that what has happened to all of us — the pain, the fear, the tears, all of it — is caused by more than some cellular malfunctions. Maybe if there is a reason that we can comprehend, then we'll feel better. And maybe asking that question is really just a reaction to the total disruption of our lives. In the end, maybe that attempt to understand is just a way of resisting, of denying the cancer any more power than it already has. Or maybe we all just have too much time to think about it all.

Question: James Murdoch In Spotlight Again Over His Knowledge Of Phone Hackings

Examples:

"['Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR', "Michele Norris speaks with Dr. Dimitri Christakis, director of the  Center for Child Health, Behavior and Development at Seattle Children's Research Institute, about how parents can navigate the world of children's TV programs. A new study done at the University of Virginia with a group of 4 year olds found those who'd watched the fast-paced cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants performed worse on mental function tests than their peers who watched the slower-paced cartoon Calliou or who simply spent their time drawing. Christakis says young children's brains get over-stimulated by the faster-paced programs — and urges parents to think about what kind of television-watching experience they want their children to have."]" == "['Represent the input', "How Can Parents Navigate Children's TV Shows?"]"

Earlier this year, Rupert and James Murdoch told Parliament they didn't realize how deep the phone hacking scandal went in their U.K. tabloid until 2010. Today, in testimony before Parliament, two of James Murdoch's top executives contradicted him saying they had presented evidence to him much earlier during a meeting that implicated others beyond Clive Goodman, a royal reporter convicted over the practice. The Guardian reports:  James Murdoch knew about an explosive email that would have proved that phone hacking at the News of the World was not confined to "one rogue reporter", MPs have been told. The former legal manager at the now-defunct tabloid, Tom Crone, openly contradicted evidence given by Murdoch to a parliamentary committee in July by telling the same committee today that he was "certain" he told the News International chief of the existence of this email during a meeting in 2008. According to Crone, the meeting lasted 15 minutes and was also attended by the then News of the World editor, Colin Myler, who concurred with the former legal affairs manager's versions of events.  The evidence was an email sent by one of the private investigators hired to hack phones to a News of the World reporter. It included transcripts of phone messages illegally obtained. Murdoch immediately denied the allegations in statement. "Neither Mr Myler nor Mr Crone told me that wrongdoing extended beyond Mr Goodman or Mr Mulcaire," James Murdoch said in a statement according to Reuters. "As I said in my testimony, there was nothing discussed in the meeting that led me to believe that a further investigation was necessary." As Guardian puts it, what this war of words means is that James Murdoch will almost certainly be compelled to appear before Parliament again.

Question: A Strange Composition: Classical Music Meets Bioterror In 'Orfeo'

Richard Powers' new novel, Orfeo, tells the story of an avant-garde classical music composer who finds himself dabbling in DNA. Like the Orpheus myth that inspired the book's name, this story takes its hero, Peter Els, on a journey. He becomes a fugitive accused of bioterror, but what follows is also a walk back into the recesses of his own memory told through the music and people he's loved and lost. Powers says he identifies with composers who are struggling to make complex, compelling works. "This balancing act between wanting to make it new and wanting to make it loved and beautiful is familiar to me," he tells NPR's Audie Cornish. "It's something that I've been wrestling with over the course of 11 novels and close to 30 years now. You write the kind of book that you wish you could find on the shelf somewhere, and you wait for someone who has the time and the focus and the desire to go deeper and to read a new story."  Interview Highlights On his protagonist, Peter Els Els starts college as a young man studying chemistry and he's very gifted as a scientist and he's fascinated with this search for the patterns of the biological world. And he moves from this pursuit quite easily into musical composition and that same desire to find ordered and meaningful patterns. At the end of his life, Els finds himself drifting back to this road not taken and gets obsessed with finding music inside of living things. And his last transgressive artistic gesture is to try and encode a musical strain and insert it directly into a living organism. On the book as "a meditation on the security state" His house is raided and he does go on the run but he has enough of a jump that he isn't immediately under threat of being apprehended. But he becomes instantly aware of how his every move is leaving a data trail behind. He can't run his credit card through a gas pump, he can't make a phone call or check out a library book. While I was working on the book, I was a little bit afraid that I might have been overstating this kind of paranoia ... when the book went into final production and I was proofing galleys, the Snowden disclosures about NSA and PRISM [NSA's surveillance program] broke and suddenly I thought, I wouldn't mind going back into the story and juking up that part of the novel a little bit. ... Everything that I described now seemed like understatement. This notion that ordinary citizens are subject to widespread surveillance is now something that we're learning all about, every day. On describing pieces of music that don't actually exist My challenge as a writer was how to create descriptions not just of canonical 20th century pieces, but to create vivid descriptions of fictional pieces. Works for small ensemble, for voice, symphonic orchestra, operatic works that did not exist and yet describe them in a way that was vivid and compelling and re-created the internal drama of the composer as he was at work on them. So it was almost as if I had in my own head to write the music first and then produce a kind of prose that recaptured the music and the rhythm and the challenge and the transgression of these pieces. On living vicariously through his characters The great beauty of being a novelist is that you can spend three or four or five years vicariously pursuing those imaginary Walter Mitty-like lives that you never got to pursue in the real world. I do have a stack of youthful compositions sitting on the bottom of my closet, so it was a great pleasure to spend these years working on this book — not just rediscovering the 20th century and this avant-garde tradition, but also to imagine myself into the life of somebody who sees and hears and feels the world through sound. On our modern approach to music It's a great challenge to the maker of music that requires a kind of concentrated and repeated listening to realize that we're living in an age where all music is available potentially all the time to everyone from everywhere and the ability of any one piece to make claims on the attention is almost overwhelmed by this flood of superabundance. He is working out of this tradition — composers like Shostakovich, for whom music was a matter of life and death, or [Olivier] Messiaen, for whom music was a way of surviving a concentration camp in the middle of winter — and is now presented with a world where a lot of music is used primarily to fill the silence while driving or jogging. And that, too, is music, but his personal crisis is what to do with this desire to create a complex music in a world that's become overfilled with instant, satisfying, entertaining, easy-to-access sound. On composers and writers sharing a struggle The struggle to find something that can expand or extend what we already know how to hear — and yet still be somehow seductive or familiar enough to be accessible — is also not only my struggle but anyone who is interested in creating literary fiction. But we have it pretty good compared to composers. The p

Question: Obama: We Won't Turn Syria Into 'Proxy War' Between U.S. And Russia

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details!

President Obama said that he will not turn the situation in Syria into a proxy war between the United States and Russia. During a press conference at the White House, Obama said that he rejected Russia's assumption that all of those groups who oppose Syrian President Bashar Assad are terrorists. "We think that it's self defeating," he said. "And it will get Russia into a quagmire." Obama spoke just days after Russia launched air attacks against targets in Syria. Russia had said it would target the Islamic State but moderate opposition forces said they were the ones being bombed. Obama said he spoke to Putin and told him that he is willing to work with them to negotiate a political transition that removes Assad, from power and leaves the state and military institutions intact. "We are prepared to work with him if he was willing to broker a political transition.... We can bring the rest of the world to a brokered solution," Obama said. After he was asked if Russia had outmaneuvered him on Syria and Ukraine, Obama responded forcefully. The Russian economy is in shambles and Russia is isolated, Obama said. "Iran and Assad make up Mr. Putin's coalition," he said. "The rest of the world makes up our coalition." Ultimately, Obama vowed to continue to support moderate opposition groups and to continue to push for regime change. Obama touched on a number of other subjects during the press conference. On gun control he said: "The politics has to change." Obama said that the United States is no more prone to violence than any other country. "There's no sense that it's something in the American character that is creating this," he said. "It's not that the behaviors or the impulses are necessarily different as much as it is that they have access to more powerful weapons." The American public, he said, has to be part of the solution by making sure that they vote for politicians who are in favor of "common-sense" gun laws like universal background checks. On Pope Francis, Obama said: "Pope Francis, I love. He is a good man with a warm heart and a big moral imagination." Obama said that people like the pope, who make "us uncomfortable in his gentle way — make him want to "be better" and "do better."

Question: Palestinian Slams Minivan Into Pedestrians In Jerusalem Attack

Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR.

A Palestinian man drove a minivan into a crowd of pedestrians in East Jerusalem today, killing one person and wounding at least 13 before he was shot dead by police. Israeli officials described the incident as a terrorist attack. The militant group Hamas claimed responsibility for what it called a "heroic operation." Israel's Haaretz newspaper identified the Palestinian as Ibrahim al-Akari, a resident of East Jerusalem. He had recently been freed from prison where he had served time for security offenses. Akari, Hamas said, is the brother of one of the Palestinians released in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who spent five year in captivity in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip. Here's more from Haaretz:  "According to rescue unit head Eli Bir, who was one of the first on the scene, the vehicle hit several pedestrians on Highway 1, at a bus stop on the corner of Shimon Hatzadik Street, then continued on to the next junction, at Moshe Zaks Street, where it ploughed into more pedestrians. The driver then exited the vehicle and began attacking people with a metal rod, before being shot and killed by police."  Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovich called the attack "a road incident with a terrorist purpose." It was the second such incident near a light-rail station in Jerusalem. Last month, a Palestinian drove his car into passengers alighting the train, killing two people and wounding six others. The attacks come amid a backdrop of tensions in Jerusalem. Last month, a Palestinian gunman shot and wounded a right-wing Jewish activist who wants Jews to be able to pray at the Temple Mount. Police later shot and killed the gunman. The Temple Mount compound houses Al-Aqsa mosque, Islam's third-holiest site. Jews consider the Temple Mount sacred because it once housed the First and Second Temples. Jews can visit the site but cannot pray there. The Associated Press adds that earlier today "Israeli police had dispersed dozens of masked Palestinians who threw rocks and firecrackers near a contested holy site in Jerusalem's Old City."

Question: S.C. Judge To Hear Stimulus Dispute

In South Carolina, a federal judge will hear arguments Monday in three lawsuits over whether the state should be forced to use stimulus funds.  Simone Orendain reports for member station WFAE. RENEE MONTAGNE, Host:  And three full months after the program became official, there's still some debate about whether to accept federal stimulus money. Today in South Carolina, a federal judge will hear arguments in three lawsuits over whether the state can be forced to take the money. From member station WFAE, Simone Orendain has more. SIMONE ORENDAIN: From the beginning, Governor Mark Sanford has pushed to use $700 million of South Carolina's $2.8 billion to pay down state debt. But the federal stimulus program doesn't allow this. So Sanford rejected it. Since then, he and the state legislature have deadlocked, and the impasse has reached the courts. Lawmakers and others want Sanford to use the disputed money for education. Attorney Richard Harpootlian represents two students who filed a lawsuit. RICHARD HARPOOTLIAN: This passes as more than just strange, because this is a governor who has bemoaned federal interventions into state's affairs.

Question: Washington Town Wiped Out By Wildfire Will Get Delayed Federal Aid

Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

In Washington state, federal aid is finally coming to a struggling farming community that was nearly decimated by a wildfire last Labor Day.  The Biden administration on Thursday approved a presidential disaster declaration that had been held up by former President Trump for nearly five months due to a reported political fight with Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee. Such presidential declarations are typically routine after major disasters and similar aid requests by Oregon and California — which experienced even more destruction last fall — were approved by Trump administration officials in short order. The latest FEMA aid package will specifically support nine counties and two tribes in eastern Washington. In a statement, Inslee acknowledged it was a long time coming.   "This financial assistance will help rebuilding public infrastructure that suffered damage – things like power lines, roadways, fencing around public areas and water and sewage systems," he said.  The news is a relief in Malden, where a wind-driven range fire that ignited in nearby wheat fields destroyed nearly 80% of the small town on Labor Day. As the delay wore on, town officials had been forced to turn to private donations for help, warning the delay in federal aid threatened the town's ability to even recover, let alone start to rebuild.  "It was hard on us, it was definitely punishing," said Scott Hokonson, a town councilman. "If that was its intent, it definitely had an effect."  Hokonson, who also lost his home in the fire, has been serving as the town's recovery coordinator. He says the delay further eroded residents' belief in government.  "When people lose trust and faith in elected officials and people trying to help, it becomes more and more difficult each day," Hokonson told NPR.  Eastern Washington leans conservative and Malden had lately become one of the few communities in the region where housing was still deemed affordable. Most of the fire survivors are lower-income, elderly and have little or no insurance. The disaster declaration will help pay to rebuild public infrastructure. Town officials are still awaiting word on a separate request to support direct aid to fire survivors to help pay for housing and other support, though they're expecting that to be approved too in the coming days.

Question: Backlash Over Mammogram Guideline Worries Evidence Advocates

represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

Take a step back from the heated debate over when to start routine mammography and consider the broader implications for efforts, championed as part of health care overhaul, to root medical decisions in the best available science. You probably know by now about the American Cancer Society's disagreement with a federal task force's recommendation that women start routine mammograms at age 50 instead of 40. Dr. Otis Brawley, the cancer group's chief medical officer, called the guideline a "step backward" in an editorial in Thursday's Washington Post because it overestimates the risk and underestimates the benefits of mammography for fortysomething women. Read More >> Breast cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death among women age 40 to 49, claiming more than 4,000 lives a year, Brawley writes. Despite its limitations, annual mammography for women in their 40s is the best tool available to curb breast cancer deaths. What's more, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius declared the task force guidelines won't alter federal payment for mammograms. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, she said Wednesday, "does not set federal policy, and they don't determine what services are covered by the federal government." Too bad, writes health journalist Merrill Goozner, a voice for the dissent. Of the 4,000 or so breast cancer deaths of women in their 40s annually, mammography would save 600, at the most. But to get that benefit, more than 1 million women a year would have to be screened for a decade. That sort of mass screening is expensive, and by the calculation Goozner explains in his blog post, would run more than $2 billion annually. Just think what could be done if that money was used more wisely--free mammograms for women at high risk and cancer prevention, he says. New Hampshire internist Dr. Kevin Pho, who writes and blogs prolifically, sees the backlash against the recommendation as a broader blow to work on grounding medicine in the best evidence. The mammogram mess bodes poorly for the nascent efforts to make comparative effectiveness research an important tool in health overhaul to sort worthwhile health care from the wasteful and inferior. As Pho concludes: If recommendations from an entity like the USPSTF -- as non-partisan and robust as it gets -- gets so much resistance from doctors, patients, and even the government itself, findings from a comparative effectiveness body stand absolutely no chance of changing medical practice.

Question: 'Vanity Fair' Writer: Is Washington Beyond Fixing?

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details

Vanity Fair writer Todd Purdum recently spent a day in the White House following President Obama and his aides around. What he discovered, he says, is that Obama's job "would be almost unrecognizable to most of his predecessors -- thanks to the enormous bureaucracy, congressional paralysis, systematic corruption and disintegrating media" in Washington, D.C. Purdum joins Fresh Air's Dave Davies for a conversation about the nature of the presidency -- and how difficult it is to achieve much of anything amid bloat, corruption and the 24-hour news cycle -- which, he writes, is "the most hyperkinetic, souped-up, tricked-out, trivialized and combative media environment any president has ever experienced." "Obama makes fun of this all of the time, as he did at the White House correspondent dinner this spring when he had a PowerPoint presentation with some slides of what Politico would have made of President Lincoln," Purdum says. "And for the Civil War, there was a fake headline that said, 'Saves the Union, But Can He Save the House Majority?' It's funny, but it's also kind of sad because there is a way in which I think so many of our past presidents -- including many of the greatest ones -- could not have done what they did, at least not as easily, if they were operating in this media environment." Purdum says he thinks Obama has tried to rise above the constant infighting that has taken over the federal government and keep his eye on the long road ahead. "He's been remarkably consistent in doing what he said he was going to do when he took office. He's pursued education reform, he finally passed Wall Street regulatory reform, he got the health care bill passed, he passed the stimulus," Purdum says. "So I think he is content. He radiates a kind of satisfaction with what he's done, and the question is whether he can sell that to the American public and people will agree that he's accomplished what he said he was going to accomplish. His problem is that he's operating at a time where there's just no trust in institutions. ... He's put himself and his administration behind the idea of an activist, engaged government at a time when people don't particularly trust government. So that's a hard sell for him." Purdum, the national editor for Vanity Fair, previously spent 23 years at The New York Times, where he was a diplomatic and White House correspondent in the paper's Washington bureau.    Interview Highlights On what happens during the president's daily meeting with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel "Rahm explained to me that he has a quick little briefing of the president: three, four, five minutes, whatever it takes, to sum up what's on the agenda for the day. And of course, the gulf between three, four, five minutes to sum up the entire world is pretty hilarious, but it's only the first take of the day, and then there's a series of other meetings that go on. And I think Rahm's mission is to focus on anything coming up that may be troublesome. ... It's an early warning system where [Rahm] talks about what's going to be on the radar that day." On how Congress is different today than in past sessions "Several things are strikingly different. Fifty years ago or so, Congress met for six to nine months a year, and when it was in session, it met mostly five days a week. Most members brought their families to live in the Washington area, and their kids went to school here and they knew each other and socialized with each other on the weekends. Quite frequently members drove home to their districts together at the end of the session to save money in a carpool. There was also no air conditioning, so people weren't holed up in their individual offices the way they are now. That really began to change in the 1970s and then accelerated in the 1980s and 1990s. And when Newt Gingrich became speaker of the House in 1995, he urged members to keep their families back so they would have to go home every weekend if possible. That's a necessity for campaigning and fundraising. But it has the effect of meaning members don't really know each other. They haven't spoken to each other in human ways. So it's a lot easier to be nasty and say nasty things about someone you don't know than to say nasty things about someone who you go to church with or see in the supermarket." On the White House daily press briefing "If what the congressional leaders do is Kabuki theater, then what the press do is really comic theater. ... It just seems so impossible to have a real discussion about anything because there's just so much posturing going on, on the part of both the press secretary, Robert Gibbs, and the press. But it's a terrible vehicle for the real exchange of information. The television reporters each ask two to three questions each, they don't move beyond the first or second row of the briefing room -- which is why everyone fights for seats in the first or second row. ... It's kind of a profoundly silly exercise, but there seems no way

The provided query could be "['', 'The American electorate is getting more diverse, more educated and younger. These demographic trends seem to suggest that voters could, in theory at least, be more Obama-friendly in 2012, especially in some key states. But it\'s not clear whether these shifts can outweigh the dragging economy and the president\'s dismal approval ratings. At President Obama\'s re-election headquarters in Chicago, there is one overriding article of faith: Despite all of his troubles, Obama\'s path to victory is still wider than it was for other recent Democratic candidates. Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt says the Obama team will never have the problem Al Gore and John Kerry faced — a race that comes down to one state like Florida or Ohio. "That means not only returning to those states that we were competitive in in 2008," LaBolt says, "but also looking for potential pickup opportunities where the demographics have changed over the past four years." The changes in the age and ethnicity of voters made the Democrats\' playing field bigger in 2008 and could, theoretically, expand it further in 2012. Ruy Teixeira just completed a study of voters at the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank. "If you look at the national data," says Teixeira, "Obama should have another couple of percentage points in the electorate for minorities to work with, probably also an increase of a percentage point in white college graduates and probably an overall decline of 3 points in white working-class voters who were his worst group last time by far. He lost them by 18 points." There also will be about 16 million more potential young voters in 2012 than were eligible to vote four years ago, Teixeira says. Young voters were among Obama\'s strongest supporters in 2008. Demographic changes made states like Colorado, Nevada, Virginia and North Carolina winnable for Democrats in 2008. Recent surges in the number of Hispanics in Arizona and Georgia could make those states potentially friendlier to Democratic candidates as well next year. Teixeira thinks similar population shifts could make holding on to Pennsylvania, where the president campaigned Wednesday, a little bit easier. "Pennsylvania\'s actually shifting fairly rapidly demographically, especially compared to other, kind of, Rust Belt-type states," says Teixeira. "That\'s obviously of some help to him, all else equal." But all else is not equal this year. Demography As Destiny? Republicans beg to differ with the demography as destiny theory. Notable among them is Karl Rove. He disagrees with assumptions that young voters in 2012 will vote as they did in 2008. Rove was the architect of President George W. Bush\'s re-election campaign in 2004. That campaign managed to find more Republican voters than Democrats had thought possible — just like the Obama team did with Democratic voters in 2008. Still, Rove doesn\'t believe it can happen again in 2012. "Think about this," he says, "Overall decline in [Obama\'s] job approval rating from the time of his inauguration among all groups is 24 [percentage] points. College graduates [are] down 24, Hispanics [are] down 23, young people [are] down 27 [percentage points]. Many of these people still like him personally and have fond feelings towards him, but they\'re disappointed with what he\'s done, with what he\'s promised, with how he\'s conducted himself in office, so it\'s hard to win them back unless conditions change." The Obama campaign is determined to try to expand the electorate again — even if conditions don\'t change politically.   Preparing To Act  Democrats had a dress rehearsal of sorts last month in the off-year elections. In North Carolina, for instance, Republican strategist Chris Sinclair saw his candidate for mayor of Raleigh swamped by an effective and stealthy Democratic operation to boost voter turnout for its candidate of choice. "When we woke up after the election," says Sinclair, "we soon realized that Organizing for America [aligned with the Democratic National Committee] was heavily involved in these races, and what we found was it was a dry run for 2012." Sinclair says the Democrats did it the old-fashioned way: "By identifying their base, and getting them out to the polls. From what I understand they knocked on 44,000 doors across this county [and] they shipped in volunteers from out of state to stay with their local volunteers to help bring out the votes, so it was very comprehensive." Obama was back in community organizer mode himself this week, with the launch of his first TV ad for the campaign. In the ad, aimed at recruiting volunteers, Obama says: "It starts with one person making a decision ... and before long, neighborhoods come together. Communities organize. A movement builds." There\'s no doubt that over the long term, the growth in the numbers of Hispanics, young people and college graduates, paired with a decline in the numbers of white working class voters, favors the Democrats. The question for Obama is whether those tre']" and the positive "['Represent the headline to find a news subtitle on NPR with more details', "Obama's Hope: A Younger, More Diverse Electorate"]"
