Question: Top Taliban Commander Captured

U.S. and Pakistani intelligence operatives captured the Taliban's second-in-command. Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar effectively ran the organization, U.S. officials say, directing Taliban military strategy in Afghanistan and controlling the group's finances. The Taliban's top military commander has been captured in the Pakistani city of Karachi and is under interrogation — a major victory against the insurgents battling U.S. troops in neighboring Afghanistan. The capture of Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar was carried out jointly by the CIA and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, officials said Tuesday.  Baradar, the most senior Afghan Taliban leader arrested since the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan began in 2001, is considered second only to founder Mullah Mohammad Omar in the Taliban hierarchy. He is also believed to be a close associate of Osama bin Laden's.  One Pakistani officer said Baradar was arrested 10 days ago in the seaport city and "was talking" to his interrogators. NPR's Julie McCarthy says Baradar is a potential "treasure-trove" of information about the Afghan Taliban. She says authorities have been questioning him for days and that he has been asked, among other things, about the whereabouts of bin Laden and Mullah Omar. Baradar's capture is a significant success for the Obama administration, which has vowed to kill or seize Taliban and al-Qaida leaders in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It also signals a new level of cooperation between the U.S. and Pakistan, which has been accused of allowing the Afghan Taliban to operate with impunity. Baradar's capture follows an increase in attacks by U.S. Predator drones that have reportedly killed many midlevel Taliban commanders. A Taliban spokesman in Afghanistan said Baradar was still free, though he did not provide any evidence.  "We totally deny this rumor. He has not been arrested," Zabiullah Mujahid told The Associated Press by telephone. He said the report was Western propaganda aimed at undercutting the Taliban as they try to repel a NATO offensive in the stronghold of Marjah in southern Afghanistan. Baradar was the deputy defense minister in the Taliban regime that ruled Afghanistan until it was ousted eight years ago. He was appointed to the No. 2 position in the insurgency after the death of military chief Mullah Akhtar Mohammed Usmani in 2006. Baradar is known to coordinate the group's military operations throughout the south and southwest of Afghanistan, and his area of direct responsibility stretches over Kandahar, Helmand, Nimroz, Zabul and Uruzgan provinces.  There was also speculation that the arrest could be related in some way to a new push by the United States and its NATO allies to negotiate with moderate Afghan Taliban leaders as a way to end the war in Afghanistan. Pakistan has an important role in that process because of its close links with members of the movement, which it supported before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.  Karachi is Pakistan's largest city and has been increasingly cited as a possible hiding place for top Afghan Taliban commanders in recent months. It has a large population of Pashtuns, the ethnic group that makes up the Taliban, but it is on the Arabian Sea and far from the Afghan border. Word of Baradar's capture came as U.S. Marine and Afghan units pressed deeper into Marjah, facing sporadic rocket and mortar fire as they moved through suspected insurgent neighborhoods in the NATO offensive to reclaim the town.  After denying for years that Afghan Taliban were based in the country, the Pakistani government and security agencies had little reason to publicize the arrest of Baradar, which was first reported by The New York Times. Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik said authorities had arrested a "number of people who are running away from Afghanistan and coming to Pakistan," but he would not confirm the Baradar's capture.  The Times said it learned of the CIA-Pakistani operation last Thursday but delayed reporting it at the request of White House officials who said that publicizing it would end a valuable intelligence-gathering effort by making Baradar's associates aware of his capture. The newspaper said it decided to publish the news after White House officials acknowledged that the arrest was becoming widely known in the region. From NPR staff and wire reports

"['Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details', 'A few months back, Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon, brought a bill to the floor that basically offered tax incentives to businesses and individuals. Those incentives are called tax extenders. They include big stuff and small stuff — tax breaks for wind farms, tax breaks for schoolteachers who buy their own supplies. Tax breaks for rum producers in Puerto Rico, people who make movies, race track owners, even some breaks for people who bike to work. In other words, something for every lawmaker to take home. This should have been a slam dunk. And at first, it was. Ninety-six senators gathered in the chamber shortly after Wyden\'s speech, and all voted in favor of moving the bill forward. But two days later, this bill, with 96 out of 100 supporters, was stopped cold. To anyone watching, it might have looked like some special kind of insanity. But Howard Gleckman, a senior fellow with the tax policy center at the Urban Institute, says look closer. "This is all fairly well planned," he says. "This isn\'t World War I, where we kind of accidentally stumbled into a catastrophe." He says he does understand how frustrating it is for Americans to watch this process: "It\'s either frustrating or amusing. If you actually watch this on C-Span and you don\'t get the joke, it has to be very frustrating." That leads to things like a rally outside the Capitol on a recent afternoon of Republicans who were upset with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for not bringing House bills to a vote. But underneath the seeming randomness of one day supporting a bill and the next day killing it, is a careful and precise game of politics, and neither party — on this bill or most others — knows for sure how it\'s going to play out. For the tax extenders, the writing on the wall came several hours after that first vote when Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Republican from Utah, essentially threw down the Obamacare card, bringing up the law\'s much-maligned tax on medical devices. "And yet the leadership of this body won\'t allow it to be brought up free-standing or on some bill that has some chance of passage through both houses of Congress," Hatch said. Hatch called for a vote on whether to scrap the medical device tax by putting it onto a bill that has some chance of passage — in this case, the tax extenders bill. Pressure from Republicans carried into the next day. Majority Leader Reid finally came to the floor and said he wouldn\'t do it. Behind the scenes, staffers say Reid couldn\'t afford to let the medical device tax get a vote. He has several Democratic senators in tough re-election races in states with medical device companies. No contested Democrat wants to take a position on something like that in an election year. Reid had a choice to make, and it was an easy one. His priority is to protect the Democratic majority in the Senate, even at the expense of a popular tax bill. Even at the expense of C-Span viewers shaking their heads at what could seem like kindergartners on a playground. So, tax extenders died a quick death. But most people on the Hill say it will be back — just not until after elections. LINDA WERTHEIMER, HOST:  Here\'s the way you might like to think the Congress works. Somebody has an idea for a new law it\'s proposed, voted up or down and Congress moves on. STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:  That might be nice. But Congress is never that simple. The law reflects a complicated country and Congress reflects complicated politics. WERTHEIMER: And that complexity led to the seemingly bizarre failure of a proposal with bipartisan support. Almost all the Senate went on record in favor of a package of tax breaks. Then just as Congress was about to leave town for a recess, the plan was killed. NPR\'s Laura Sullivan explains why.

For instance, <<['Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details', "Wiffle ball began as a sport for kids, but in the past few years it's grown up. Adults put on uniforms and stage a national tournament.  But in Milesburg, Pa., as Cynthia Berger of NPR station WPSU discovered, wiffle ball has been in style for decades. And the folks there play by their own rules.      LIANE HANSEN, host:       For those who prefer outdoor games to word games, consider Wiffle Ball.      It used to be a backyard sport for kids, but in recent years, the game      played with the plastic bat and a ball pocked with holes has become      trendy.  Now it's a sport for grownups with uniforms, a national      tournament and official rules. In rural Milesburg, Pennsylvania, Wiffle      Ball has always been in style and the players have their own rules, thank      you.  Cynthia Berger reports from the sidelines of the Milesburg Wiffle      Ball Tournament.       (Soundbite of Wiffle ball game)       CYNTHIA BERGER reporting:       On a recent Saturday at Milesburg Community Park, the playing field's      usually reserved for T-ball or swarming with 20-something guys in      mismatched muscle shirts.  There were three Wiffle ball games going on at      once, with Team Blazer, named for the car, favored to win even though      they'd had a couple close games.       Mr. PRESTON CRESIVITCH(ph) (Wiffle Ball Player):  Pulled them both out,      luckily.  We're getting beat here.  So a bunch of young kids, 18, you      know? That was us six years ago.       BERGER:  Preston Cresivitch is captain of the Blazers.  He looks about 18      but he's in his mid-20s.  He came back from his new job in Maryland just      for this tournament.       (Soundbite of applause)       BERGER:  The guys on the Blazers have been playing Wiffle Ball together      since they were kids.       Mr. CRESIVITCH:  We all went to the same high school and we've just kept      in contact out of high school.  And a few of us lived together, went to      Penn State together.       BERGER:  The Blazers kept up their Wiffle Ball tradition in college.  The      back yard of their rented house made an excellent playing field.       Mr. CRESIVITCH:  If it was a nice day, you know, we'd all would skip      classes and go play some home run derby.       Unidentified Person:  Whoo!       BERGER:  When he moved to Maryland, Cresivitch was surprised to find that      Wiffle Ball isn't part of his new neighborhood's local tradition.       Mr. CRESIVITCH:  The few people I talked to don't even really know what      it was and, you know, I just got, like, dumb looks, you know?  Like, we      play softball, too.  I couldn't even find a Wiffle Ball or bat.  I went      to Dick's and Wal-Mart and neither one of them had anything.  I was kind      of shocked, really.       BERGER:  The tournament, sponsored by the Milesburg Lions, grew out of a      family tradition--Sunday ball at Uncle Mike's hunting camp.       Unidentified Man #1:  We have a big lawn out there, so we started playing      Wiffle Ball every Sunday up there and decided it was--it'd be interesting      to see if we could really put together a tournament and how the interest      would be.  We weren't sure how that would work, and it turned out there's      a lot of interest in this game.       BERGER:  A lot of local interest.  Eighteen teams signed up to play this      year, but Mike Cresivitch says the trendy new teams turn up their noses      because Milesburg plays by baseball rules, not official Wiffle Ball      rules.       Unidentified Man #1:  Travel all over the state and out of the state to      play in tournaments, but they just won't try ours out because they said      they just--you know, it's not real Wiffle Ball, they call it.  And we say      it is and our Wiffle Ball, so it works out nice for us.  We aren't going      to change it.       Unidentified Man #2:  Go, go, go!       Unidentified Woman:  Go!  Go!       BERGER:  At the end of the day, the Milesburg Lions had raised $1,200 for      charity.  The Blazers had lost to the young guys from Fisher's Auto      Center, but the Blazers were cool.       Unidentified Man #3:  Good job, Larry.  Hey, you did your job.       BERGER:  They'll be back next year because there's just something about      Wiffle Ball.       (Soundbite of applause)       BERGER:  For NPR News, I'm Cynthia Berger in State College, Pennsylvania."]>>  to "['Represent this short title to find a subtitle that might be right below it on NPR.', 'Milesburg, Pa., Ahead of the Wiffle Ball Curve']"

Question: The Right Thing to Do

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

"Why" That's the most common question I got when I told people I was going to keep writing the blog on vacation. One person wrote in the other day sort of blaming NPR, and asking that they give me a break. But this was my decision, no one was forcing me. In fact, my editors, the others who work with me on all this, suggested the same thing. So why do it? Well, for one, I'm still on East Coast time, so I wake up pretty early. I take my computer out to the balcony, stare at the ocean while the sun is coming up, and write. This is not hardship duty. It really calms me and helps me gather my thoughts. And I thought that effectively shutting this site down for two weeks would be a bad idea. We have a conversation going, an amazing dialogue, and I didn't want to do anything to slow that down. There's a larger reason too. Cancer is something we live with every day. As lucky as I am to be on vacation, I still think about it all the time. Sometimes it just jumps into my mind like an annoying pop-up ad. Other times, something will trigger it. At the pool the other day, I saw a woman with very short hair. She hadn't cut it that way for fashion, it was clear that she had been on chemo. I wondered what her story was, but I was glad that she was in Hawaii too. There's a conversation that I think everyone has when they come to Hawaii, or some place comparable. We may not even say it out loud: if we sold the house, the cars, quit our jobs, why couldn't we just move here? It's fun to think about it, and every once in a while you run into someone who's done it. So it really is possible, it's not just a mai tai-fuelled fantasy. But sometimes when I'm planning the move, the question, "But for how long?" elbows its way in. You know what I mean. Not, "How long could I stand to live on an island/" That one's easy. No, it's, "How long do I really have?" I try not to think about that one too much, not let it rule my life, but it's out there. So this really was my decision. No one coerced me. Since we live with this monster every day, one way or the other, I thought I needed to face it every day, too. It just seemed like the right thing to do.

Question: Do You Hear What I Hear?

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

When Barack Obama took the stage in Des Moines to deliver his impassioned Iowa caucus victory speech, U2's song "City of Blinding Lights" preceded him. On the same night, John Edwards' address to his supporters was also paired with a U2 song, "Pride (In The Name of Love)". Since when has U2 become the band to sum up American sentiment? Or is it just that they are one of the biggest bands in the world and summing up the zeitgeist is part of their job? I guess with Led Zeppelin's "Lemon Song" not exactly getting the right message across and Rush a little tricky to dance to, U2 is the only monolithic band to embody that perfect blend of informed-yet-cool. And with Bono himself probably the most electable man in any number of countries, it's not a bad choice to align yourself with someone so universally loved. But it is noteworthy that U2's ubiquity has transformed their songs into ones that are both non-partisan and non-threatening, which at least in the aforementioned contexts skirts a little close to non-music. There is nothing like politics and politicians employing songs as a force for musical atrophy. Even though politicians might inspire some great tunes (imagine 1980's hardcore without Reagan or recent Springsteen, Steve Earle, or Arcade Fire albums minus Bush II et al as inspiration), they are less successful at marrying music with their own image or agenda. It's a tricky process indeed. We're not talking about a benign Celebrity Playlist on iTunes, wherein people can admire the esoteric tastes of Nicholas Cage, or confirm their instinct that they and Michael Cera were meant for each other based on a mutual fondness for the Microphones. And it is more serious than the song one chooses as a cellphone ring, that 15-second personal ad broadcast a few times a day. Instead, a candidate's theme song is a little bit more like a tattoo; some people won't care or even notice it at all, others will think it really sums up who they are and what they stand for, and the final category of people will be slightly offended by their lack of taste. And anthems do matter. Sure, they matter a lot less than the messages or the men or woman themselves. But in a time where pop and political culture, highbrow and lowbrow, public and private are conflated to the point of being indistinguishable, a candidate's venture into the realm of personal expression via music is bound to get noticed. The title of Frank Rich's Op-Ed piece in yesterday's New York Times referred to Bill Clinton's theme song from his 1992 campaign, Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop" (though the Rich piece was about Obama and Huckabee, perhaps a dig at the current Clinton presidential candidate, who might not embody quite as much hope for tomorrow). Whatever the case may be, the song in question is one of the least interesting tracks off of the Rumors album; it's a blithe song full of more disillusionment than hope. It should be noted that on the record, "Don't Stop" is immediately followed by "Go Your Own Way", which doesn't exactly speak of unity or unification, and paints "tomorrow" as a much bleaker day. And there have been much bigger gaffes than candidate's merely picking feel good tunes, those sonic versions of BenGay. Some of you might recall when Ronald Reagan thought Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" was nothing more than a jingoistic anthem exalting American values and pride. Or in 1996, when Bob Dole changed the lyrics of Sam & Dave's "Soul Man" to, you guessed it, "Dole Man". This clever (?) idea was executed with neither permission nor clearance from the copyright owners, who sent the campaign a letter urging them to stop the use of the song, which they did. But the more egregious act in the case of "Dole Man" was Dole's assumption that a song like "Soul Man" has or never had a any cultural significance beyond its being a staple on the oldies stations. Yet what do we expect from Presidential candidates? I mean, above everything else, do they have to have good taste in music? No, it's certainly not a requirement. In fact, maybe the less the candidates get nearer to our own tastes, the better. How strange, for instance, if Spoon's "The Way We Get By" was the soundtrack to Hillary Clinton's stump speech. And the further the candidates' beliefs get from our own, the less we want to know that they might actually share our cultural tastes. Like if "The Greatest" by Cat Power accompanied Mitt Romney wherever he went. This is true also with a candidate's supporters. We'd like to think that our favorite bands, especially those who ostensibly share our political outlooks, have ideologically similar fans. Yet I'm sure followers of Franz Ferdinand or Modest Mouse vote on both sides of the aisle, which is why music is better at uniting people than politicians. So, since music does transcend politics, I propose that we help these candidates find songs that actually do embody the messages they espouse. Any suggestions? But where I draw the line with music and pol

Question: Nepal to Abolish Monarchy

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

Nepal's major political parties have agreed to abolish the world's last Hindu monarchy as part of a deal to bring former Communist rebels back into the government, the one-time insurgents said Monday. No timetable has been set for the Communists to rejoin the government. The deal, signed Sunday, sets the stage for Nepal's transition to a full republic less than two years after the country's king was forced to cede his near dictatorial powers after weeks of unrest. The Communists, who are known as Maoists, ended their decade-long rebellion last year and later joined the country's interim government. But they withdrew in September, demanding the monarchy be immediately abolished. The move plunged Nepal into a political crisis and threatened its transition to democracy. On Monday, the former rebels were buoyant over the deal to bring them back into the fold. The deal stipulates the monarchy will be eliminated once a special assembly charged with rewriting the nation's constitution is elected. The vote had been delayed indefinitely by the Maoists' withdrawal from the government, and officials now say they want to hold it in the first half of 2008.  "Now nothing else there needs to be done," Prachanda, the Maoist leader, who uses only one name, told reporters. "There is no monarchy left in the country."  The current monarch, King Gyanendra, heads a dynasty that dates to 1769, when a regional ruler led an army down from the hills and conquered the ancient city of Katmandu. He established a line of kings that have been traditionally considered reincarnations of the Hindu god Vishnu.  But Gyanendra, the 12th Shah Dynasty monarch, has never enjoyed the popularity of his predecessors and Sunday's deal to eliminate the throne was received largely with indifference in Katmandu.  "Before, kings were part of people's heart," said Mata Pasad Risal, 60, a retired government official. "Now people have turned against him. The king has lost his position and popularity; it will be best for him to leave the palace." Gyanendra came to the throne in 2001 after a palace massacre in which the crown prince reportedly gunned down Gyanendra's older brother, the late King Birendra, and much of the royal family before killing himself. The murders helped pierce the mystique surrounding Nepal's royalty. Four years later, Gyanendra dismissed Nepal's parliament and seized total power, saying he would bring order to a chaotic political scene and quell the Maoist insurgency.  But the insurgency worsened, the economy faltered and Gyanendra used heavy-handed tactics to silence opposition, jailing and banning criticism of himself, his government and the army.  The result was weeks of unrest in April 2006 that ended with Gyanendra restoring the parliament. He has since been stripped of his powers, command over the army and his immunity from prosecution. But that wasn't enough for the Maoists, who have consistently pushed for the elimination of the monarchy. From NPR reports and The Associated Press

Question: When Things Fall Apart

There are some mornings when things couldn't possibly run any smoother -- guests are in place, scripts are in order and then ... all systems go. Not. Today, that wasn't quite the case. During our first (and what we usually hope is our only) broadcast feed, we experienced difficulty with today's Faith Matters segment, which focused on the Southern Baptist Convention and a debate over reconciling the mega-denomination's racially tense past with the election of Barack Obama as this country's first Black president. Our two guests -- both Baptist ministers -- were kind enough to join us from affiliate studios in different parts of the south. First, the Rev. Hershael York's studio line dropped from the conversation. Silence. But no need to fear, right? The Rev. Dwight McKissick, our other guest, was still on the line. ... Until his line dropped, too. Both guests were now gone, leaving Michel as the lone voice on-air in TMM radio wilderness. Now this is where it gets tricky in a live production format. Michel could've either: a) panicked and lost her cool, or b) spent the next 5 minutes vamping - desperate to fill precious airtime, as engineers scrambled to restore the connection, by giving listeners regional reports of the weekend weather forecast, or Read More >> c) maintained her title as the queen of what we like to call "grace under fire" -- with a calm, levelheaded ease about the situation. Thankfully, our host has always been a perfect "C" student (in this regard), which is what every executive producer dreams of! Thankfully, Revs. York and McKissick were able to later re-join us for a seamless, thoughtful conversation. You can listen to it here. ... See, I bet you had no idea what really went down. And if you did, thanks for tagging along for the ride! Enjoy your weekend.

Question: Native Americans Gather for Opening of Museum

A blessing from the San Carlos Apache of San Carlos, Ariz., heralded the opening of the National Museum of the American Indian Tuesday morning. For some of the Apache Crown Dancers, adorned in traditional hoods and crowns suggesting the antlers of mountain spirits, this trip to Washington was the first time they had ever left a reservation. In all, approximately 20,000 Native Americans from all over the hemisphere -- some from as far as the Andes Mountains -- gathered for the opening ceremonies.  Fashioned with limestone and suggesting a form shaped over centuries by wind and water, the exterior of the newest Smithsonian museum is the most distinctive of any building or monument on the National Mall.  The $200 million facility is dedicated to the history and culture of America's indigenous peoples and houses the world's largest collection of Indian artifacts. NPR's Robert Siegel speaks to museum director W. Richard West and Native Americans who participated in the opening festivities.

"['Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR', 'World-renowned musician Ali Akbar Khan has died at the age of 87 at his home in Northern California. Khan was nominated for five Grammys and recorded more than 95 albums, including the first by an Indian classical musician in the West.  Khan was born into a legendary north Indian family who served as royal court musicians as far back as the 16th century. Khan began studying music with his father at the age of 3. His father, Allauddin Khan, remains a towering figure in Indian classical music. He composed over 4,000 pieces and played 200 instruments. His son was expected to carry on as a cultural repository. And he was expected to practice — all day, every day.   Young Ali Akbar Khan was often beaten for lacking dedication. But when he made his professional debut at age 13 in 1935, he was immediately hailed as a virtuoso of the steel-stringed, lutelike instrument called the sarod. Indian classical music was virtually unknown in the West until violinist Yehudi Menuhin heard Khan give a recital in Delhi. Enchanted, he invited Khan to visit the United States. The music\'s shimmering serenity was embraced by the counterculture. Although he toured extensively, Khan was serious about teaching. He opened music colleges in Calcutta, California and Switzerland and taught until just two weeks before his death.  Khan was taught by his father that music should be kept inside the family, pure and undefiled. But Khan welcomed anyone in his music schools, no matter their background. He received a MacArthur "genius grant" and the most prestigious arts awards in India and the U.S. He said that as he aged, he found new energy. And he said his father, even in death, remained a powerful presence. The subtleties and depths of Indian classical music his father taught him could not be learned in one lifetime, Kahn said. It would take 10 lives, or 500 years, to understand it all. GUY RAZ, host:  We take a few moments now to remember Ali Akbar Khan. The musical giant who introduced Indian classical sounds to the West has died at his Northern California home at age 87. Khan was nominated for five Grammys and recorded more than 95 albums.  NPR\'s Neda Ulaby has this remembrance.  NEDA ULABY: Ali Akbar Khan was born into a legendary North Indian family who served as royal court musicians, starting at least in the 16th century. Khan began studying music with his father at the age of three.  Mr. ALI AKBAR KHAN: If you make one mistake then he become a dangerous man.  (Soundbite of laughter)  ULABY: Khan\'s father, Allauddin Khan, remains a towering figure in Indian classical music. He composed over 4,000 pieces and played 200 instruments. His son was expected to carry on as a cultural repository, and he was expected to practice all day, every day.  Mr. KHAN: Eighteen hours a day for 20 years, and sometime my father taught me for 15 hours a day.  ULABY: Young Ali Akbar Khan was often beaten for lacking dedication. But when he made his professional debut at age 13 in 1935, he was immediately hailed as a virtuoso of the steel string lute-like instrument, the sarod.  (Soundbite of music)  ULABY: Indian classical music was virtually unknown in the West; that was until violinist Yehudi Menuhin heard Khan give a recital in Delhi. Enchanted, he invited Khan to visit the United States. The music\'s shimmering serenity was embraced by the counterculture. And although he toured extensively, Khan was serious about teaching. He opened music colleges in Calcutta, California and Switzerland, and taught until just two weeks before his death.  You can hear, in this tape recorded 10 years ago, the pleasure he took in it.  (Soundbite of music)  Mr. KHAN: (Singing in foreign language).  ULABY: Ali Akbar Khan was taught by his father that music should be kept inside the family, pure and undefiled. But Khan welcomed anyone in his music school no matter their background. He said as he aged, he found new energy. And he said his father, even in death, remained a powerful presence.  Mr. KHAN: Still in my dreams he comes and teach me music, twice or thrice a month. Some lessons that I forget and then he get angry. And then, after few months, he comes back. If he\'s happy, then he comes every month.  ULABY: Khan said his father told him that the subtleties and depths of Indian classical music could not be taught in one lifetime. It would take 10 lives or 500 years to understand it all.

My time off may be over. The scheduling folks at Hopkins are trying to find a day when I can have a CT scan, blood work and a brain MRI. Oh yeah, there's also a 15 minute drug infusion that I need to get as well. It will be a busy day. I have to admit that I have gotten used to time off from all that. It's been a while since anyone had to stab me with a needle. Now, there are a couple of things that I'm not going to do. I'm not having another spinal tap any time soon. The risks just seem to outweigh the benefits. An MRI on my spine would be a waste of time, given all the metal that's there now. They wouldn't be able to see anything. But let's say we do see something troubling. Then what? I don't have a lot of options. We've pretty much used up radiation. Chemo really isn't an option for me. I joke with my doctors that I've already had just about every procedure there is, but that's not too far from the truth. So I'm left with that troubling question. If we find something, and I think the chances are good that we will, then what? I hope my doctors may have some new ideas, cause I sure don't.

------

For example, '['represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on npr', 'Just because White House chief of staff Bill Daley will be offloading some of his duties to his predecessor Pete Rouse, that doesn\'t mean he\'s been demoted, President Obama\'s press secretary told journalists Tuesday. Some journalists have characterized the move as a demotion since chiefs of staff historically have tended to consolidate power, not delegate it. But Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, says Daley isn\'t actually losing power, despite appearances. He\'s merely sharing power for the sake of making the White House work better. Read More Here\'s a bit of Carney\'s exchange with White House reporters on the trip to Philadelphia Tuesday for an Obama event meant to highlight reforms in the Head Start program:  REPORTER: Jay, what can you tell us about the changes in the  Chief of Staff\'s duties? CARNEY:  Well, a couple things.  One, I think a  little bit more is being made of this than in fact is happening.  The chief of  staff Bill Daley has asked, as part of his efforts to make the White House run  as efficiently as possible, has asked Pete Rouse, counselor to the President, to  help streamline and make more efficient and effective internal communications in  the White House and to help with some of the day-to-day management of the  place. Bill Daley, as the chief of staff, retains obviously all  of his authority and ultimate responsibility for the White House operations and  White House staff. REPORTER: Can you enumerate exactly what duties have  transferred to Mr. Rouse? CARNEY:  Well, again, it\'s less about transferring  duties than it is about adding responsibilities without subtracting any from  anybody else.  It\'s about making the White House as effective and efficient as  possible. And this is actually a process that\'s been in the works now for a  number of weeks, even possibly a couple of months.  And what Bill announced in  one of our meetings yesterday morning was simply that, as most of you know or a  lot of you know, "I\'ve asked Pete to take on these additional responsibilities  to help us function better."  But it\'s mostly about internal communication,  making sure that everybody has the information they need so we can serve the  President as effectively as possible. REPORTER: So was the President involved in making this  decision? CARNEY:  Well, it\'s Bill Daley\'s decision.  But  obviously -- REPORTER: Was the President consulted? CARNEY:  I don\'t doubt that the Chief of Staff  discussed this with the President.  As has been well reported, Daley has been frustrated in his efforts to fix some of the problems he inherited from Rouse who took over the chief of staff job from Rahm Emanuel who left the Obama administration to successfully run for mayor of Chicago. A former senior official at JP Morgan Chase and a Clinton-era Commerce secretary, Daley\'s arrival at the White House was supposed to usher in better ties between the Obama administration and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce crowd. But that hasn\'t worked out as well as was hoped. Meanwhile, there\'s been plenty of reporting that Daley didn\'t have a particularly good working relationship with lawmakers on either side of the aisle. That he came from one of the nation\'s most famous Democratic families seemed not to have the persuasive power over congressional Democrats that Obama might have hoped. And Daley\'s pro-business sentiments didn\'t do much to win agreement from congressional Republicans who may have shared similar corporate sympathies with the president\'s top aide but are fairly uniformly opposed to most of the Obama agenda. The Wall Street Journal\'s Carol Lee provided the following assessment of Daley\'s tenure:  Mr. Daley made strides in his outreach to business, including leading a White House effort to ease government regulations and shepherding three free-trade deals through a divided Congress. But the relationship has fallen short of expectations. White House officials acknowledge even an emissary of Mr. Daley\'s caliber could go only so far. Mr. Obama\'s recent push to boost taxes on wealthy Americans has complicated that effort. On the congressional front, one big problem has been a tense relationship between Mr. Daley and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.), which soured during the budget negotiations this year, people familiar with the matter said. Mr. Daley angered Democrats by trying to cut side budget deals with Republicans. He stoked the tension recently by telling a columnist for the website Politico that "both Democrats and Republicans" have made it difficult for Mr. Obama to govern. Mr. Reid was livid, and Mr. Daley had to call to smooth things over. "When I make a mistake or he thinks I\'ve made a mistake, we talk," Mr. Daley said.']' should be close to '['represent this short title to find a subtitle that might be right below it on npr.', 'White House Chief Of Staff Daley To Share Job With Predecessor']'

Question: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

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

I'm ready to make my first call of the evening: The 2006 election was won by YouTube.   Just as blogs transformed the political discussion in 2004, the video-sharing service has changed the rules of the game.  But not necessarily for the better.   YouTube magnified every blunder and misstep by politicians, from the macaca brouhaha to the botched comedy stylings of John Kerry. What?  Your own local races not dirty enough for you?  YouTube allows you to wallow in the worst ads of the year, filled with race-baiting, sexual deviancy, and Rush Limbaugh mocking a beloved TV and movie icon who has Parkinson's.      Good times.  But not exactly confidence-inspiring. Blogs, it seems to me, at least make candidates more accountable and force them to respond to specific issues.  This video site brings out the voyeur in us all, playing gotcha from the comfort of home.   The only lesson a politician gets from YouTube is don't screw up in public, or more importantly, when you see a video camera, RUN!

Question: That's What She Said

On-Air Challenge  You are given some quotes with the ending, "Tom ________." The word that goes in the blank is a synonym for "said" that completes the statement in a punny way. For example, given, "'That was the best all-night dance party ever,' Tom ________," the answer would be "raved."  Challenge From Last Week  Take the name "Pensacola," remove one letter and rearrange the letters that remain to get the first and last name of a famous person in American history.  Who is it? Answer: Al Capone Winner: Michael Eckman of Bloomington, Minn.  Next Week's Challenge From Rich Silvestri of Valley Stream, N.Y.:  Name an item often found on a desk. It's a hyphenated word. Add an "S" to the beginning of each part, and you'll get two synonyms. What's the item?  Submit Your Answer If you know the answer to next week's challenge, submit it here. Listeners who submit correct answers win a chance to play the on-air puzzle. Important: Please include a phone number where we can reach you Thursday at 3 p.m. LIANE HANSEN, Host:  And joining us is puzzlemaster Will Shortz. Hi, Will. WILL SHORTZ: Hi, Liane. HANSEN: I'm going to be a big disappointment to you. SHORTZ: Why is that? You're never disappointing. HANSEN: No, I tried to do KenKen puzzles this week. I honestly, I don't get it. I can't do the words, but - and the math at the same time. So, I'm going to just, you know, put it aside and work on my crossword puzzle skills. So, I hope it's not too much of a disappointment. SHORTZ: Oh, that's no good. You know, Tetsuya, the inventor, Tetsuya Miyamoto will be at the crossword championship next week. So, maybe you can get a tip or two from him. HANSEN: That's what I was going to say. Maybe I can get a tip or two. And I'm really looking forward to the tournament next weekend. But we want to play our radio puzzle, so, remind us of the challenge you left with us last week. SHORTZ: Yes, I said, take the name Pensacola, as in the Florida city, remove one letter and rearrange the remaining letters to name a famous person in American history. Who is it? HANSEN: And our anagram theme from last week, who is it? SHORTZ: The answer - you remove the S and rearrange the letters to get Al Capone. HANSEN: You know, someone asked me what we consider to be a lot of entries. Because we had one puzzle, there were only 300. And he wondered what were a lot. And I said, you know, usually about 2,500. Well, guess what? We received over 2,500 correct entries this past week. And we randomly selected Michael Eckman(ph) of Bloomington, Minnesota to play on the air today. Hi, Michael. MICHAEL ECKMAN: Hi. HANSEN: How long did it take you to solve this anagram puzzle? ECKMAN: Oh, about five minutes. HANSEN: Oh. How long have you been playing our puzzle? ECKMAN: Ever since we've been able to send them in by e-mail. HANSEN: All right. Sounds like you are a puzzle person, yes? ECKMAN: Yes. HANSEN: Yes. It's a simple yes or no. No trickery in that question. (SOUNDBITE OF LAUGHTER) ECKMAN: I like crossword puzzles. HANSEN: I do, too. I do, too. Well, you sound pretty well-prepared for this one. You ready to play? ECKMAN: Certainly. HANSEN: All right, Will, meet Michael. Let's play. SHORTZ: All right, Michael. Today's puzzle is a variation on the old game of Tom Swifties. I'm going to read you some quotes ending with Tom blank. The word that goes in the blank is a synonym for said, that completes the statement in a punny way. For example, that was the best all-night dance party ever, Tom blank. And you'd say, raved. HANSEN: Okay. ECKMAN: Raved. Oh, okay. SHORTZ: All right. Here's number one. That's too much whale fat, Tom - starting... ECKMAN: Blubbered. SHORTZ: Blubbered, yes. Number two: You wrecked my Swedish car, Tom... ECKMAN: Sobbed. (SOUNDBITE OF LAUGHTER) SHORTZ: Sobbed. Yes. Well, I wouldn't say that a breakfast dish made on an iron is my very favorite, Tom... ECKMAN: Waffled. SHORTZ: Waffled. Good, you don't even need the starting letters. Next, the best barrier between the yards wouldn't have to be a fence, Tom, starting with H. ECKMAN: Hedged. SHORTZ: Hedged, yes. For the thousandth time, quit betting on the race horses, Tom, starting with N. For the thousandth time, quit betting on the race horses, Tom... (SOUNDBITE OF LAUGHTER) HANSEN: Nagged.
