When you're trying to take a selfie with your dog, telling your pet to "say cheese" probably won't elicit a smile. But a tennis ball perched on top of a smartphone is a real attention getter. The "pooch selfie" is a simple attachment that allows dog owners to attach the fluffy ball. It's been a hit on Kickstarter. Now to the bigger challenge — getting cats to focus.

Question: Delia Ephron: Tag Line, You're It!

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

"I didn't want to be a writer; I was too scared," says Delia Ephron of her younger self, whose body of work now includes 15 books, seven films (six of which were co-written with her sister Nora), two plays and countless articles. Ephron grew up as part of a powerhouse family of writers — her parents were successful screenwriters, and her sisters Nora, Amy and Hallie all became writers too ... eventually. "Everyone knew they had to do it but couldn't face it," she told Ask Me Another host Ophira Eisenberg of the family destiny. Her journey is rife with experiences that beg to be chronicled with the trademark Ephron mixture of humor and compassion: a stint as a "Girl Friday" for a terrible boss, an ex-husband who didn't want her to be famous, a penchant for crocheting, and a recent visit to the pet psychic with her dog, Honey. Ephron's latest book of essays is Sister Mother Husband Dog, Etc. Having penned the likes of You've Got Mail and having produced Sleepless in Seattle, Ephron is no stranger to romantic comedies, and was game for an Ask Me Another Challenge in which she had to name famous "rom-coms" based on their tag lines. We're just a game show, standing before a writer, asking her to play with us. This story originally ran on February 13, 2014.  Interview Highlights On writing about her sister Nora's death My sister had died in June, and it was September, and the seasons changed. It was such a big thing that she wasn't there for the fall. I just was so lost, because I'm second, and we were collaborators as well as sisters. She bossed me around from the day I was born; she was thrilled to get me. I just was so confused, and I started to write. Because I'm a writer, and that's what we do. We write to get to another place. On a lifelong search for the perfect comeback I had a mean boss. I was a "Girl Friday." He started ragging on me about whatever I wasn't doing right. I stood up and I said, "I quit." And as I walked out the door, he shouted, "You're flat-chested." This is my favorite thing that ever happened to me. It was a lifelong regret that I did not answer back. I've spent a long time thinking about what I could have said in return. On finally deciding to commit to the family business I said to my husband — my first husband; that's an important part of this story — "I think I really want to be a writer." He said, "I don't want you to be a writer. Suppose you become famous." So I said, "I promise I won't become famous." Isn't that sad? So obviously I had to leave him. On learning how to write humor I was eating chocolate pudding one night. And I was eating it my way. Which is: You know that pudding you cook and it has a little skin on top? I like to make a little hole in the skin, and scoop the soft pudding underneath, and then save the skin for last. I was doing this, and I suddenly thought: "Oh, my God, I am eating like a child." So I wrote directions about how children eat food, and it was called How to Eat Like a Child. And it got published in The New York Times. It was my first real success. (SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC) OPHIRA EISENBERG, HOST:  Welcome back to ASK ME ANOTHER, NPR and WNYC's hour of trivia, puzzles and word games. I'm Ophira Eisenberg. Please welcome our very important publisher, screenwriter, director, playwright and author of the new book "Sister Mother Husband Dog, Etc.," Delia Ephron. (APPLAUSE) DELIA EPHRON: Hello. EISENBERG: Hello. I ate this book up. I loved it. EPHRON: Oh, thank you. EISENBERG: It is very heartfelt. It's a memoir. It's stories about your life and also present and past - and the very funny, dark humor. The first chapter is about you and your sister, Nora, your sisterhood, the complications, the love, the generosity, her sickness. It seemed to me that that was a very difficult - beautiful, but difficult - chapter to write. And I'm just wondering what made you decide to start with that. EPHRON: Well, my sister had died in June and it was September and the seasons changed, you know, that was such a big thing that she wasn't there for the fall. I just was so lost because I second and we were collaborators as well as sisters and she bought me around from the day I was born; she was thrilled to get me.

Question: A GOP Consensus at the Economic Conference

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

This was not, however, the place to look for diversity of opinion. This was not the place to find a free-wheeling exchange of ideas on what the economy needs, and how to keep it moving forward. Make no mistake, this was, like so many events choreographed by the Bush White House over the past four years, a presentation designed solely to reinforce the president's policies. There would be no surprises over these two days: Nobody standing up to complain about the record budget deficit, or about the fact that tax cuts have not led to anywhere near the levels of job creation the president had predicted in 2001 and 2003. None of the panel discussions would be about the weakening U.S. dollar, or the staggering trade deficit. Instead, the titles of the panel discussions seemed to come right out of the president's re-election campaign literature. Wednesday featured one called "Tax and Regulator Burdens." It was followed after lunch by a session titled "The High Cost of Lawsuit Abuse." It wasn't too hard to figure out what those were going to show.     While there was a brief reference to potential good from governmental regulation, the overall tone was captured in this statement from Susan Dudley of George Mason University in Arlington, Virginia:  "From the moment you get out of bed in the morning you’re regulated. The Consumer Product Safety Commission regulates the label on the mattress on your bed. The cotton sheets on your bed are regulated by the Department of Agriculture. You may have to flush your toilet twice because of the low flow standards from the Department of Energy, and when you go downstairs for breakfast, even the size of the holes in the Swiss cheese that you grate into your omelet are regulated by the Department of Agriculture."    The clear message: such regulations are bad for businesses and bad for the economy and something needs to be done about it.     Vice President Dick Cheney opened the conference with a brief speech including a call for drastic simplification of the tax code, tossing out this statistic: "It's so complex that this country employs 1.2 million tax preparers.... that's larger than the entire United States Army." But the marquee topic of the two-day event was Social Security. The president has made revamping the system a top second-term priority. Still no specifics from the White House on what Mr. Bush will propose, but at the conference he reiterated some absolutes. Current retirees must still get their checks, with no reduction in benefits. Younger workers must get a shot at setting up private investment accounts. And payroll taxes must not increase to make up for the money (between $1 trillion and $2 trillion) lost by the diversion of funds to private accounts.     The president got a laugh when he followed that list by saying, "So with these principles in mind, I'm open-minded." The constant message on Social Security was that it's broke and it needs to be fixed -- right now. It's a coming "train wreck" as one panelist put it. It's a "crisis" and "untenable" according to the president's own remarks. Not present at any point was the contrary view, available from many of those knowledgeable on the issue, that any crisis is still decades in the future and could be fended off with far less sweeping adjustments. Democrats dismissed this White House Economic Conference as propaganda. Sen. Jon Corzine of New Jersey called it "an infomercial." And to be sure it received second-tier coverage in the press.    But that doesn't seem to matter to the administration. This conference, like each rally of the campaign season, is part of the process of getting the message out in ways that are sometimes big and sometimes small.  This event helped the White House get a head start on defining the issues on Social Security and the other topics covered. Defining the issues is a matter of speaking with authority, clarity and consistent repetition. The Bush operation was masterful at this in the campaign and wants to continue its momentum. The fruit of this conference may be subtle, but it will be detectable in the feedback heard when the new Congress convenes in January, ready to take up the president's agenda.

Health officials expect approvals for the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines later this year. Covid-19 hospitalizations and deaths hit pandemic highs in Florida as the Delta variant continues to ravage the state. Many Florida residents are still unvaccinated and Gov. Ron DeSantis continues to make it difficult for institutions to protect their communities.  The situation in Afghanistan continues to evolve. The Taliban is now in control in Kabul and has rejected an extension to the Aug. 31 deadline set by President Joe Biden for the withdrawal of some 1,500 Americans still in the country. In addition, explosions rocked areas around the airport in Kabul Thursday, killing at least a dozen U.S. service members and 60 Afghan citizens. Officials have warned of a possible terrorist threat. Injuries to civilians and Americans are expected. We cover the biggest stories from around the nation on the News Roundup.

Question: In A 1st, Scientists Use Revolutionary Gene-Editing Tool To Edit Inside A Patient

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

For the first time, scientists have used the gene-editing technique CRISPR to try to edit a gene while the DNA is still inside a person's body. The groundbreaking procedure involved injecting the microscopic gene-editing tool into the eye of a patient blinded by a rare genetic disorder, in hopes of enabling the volunteer to see. They hope to know within weeks whether the approach is working and, if so, to know within two or three months how much vision will be restored. "We're really excited about this," says Dr. Eric Pierce, a professor of ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School and director of the Inherited Retinal Disorders Service at Massachusetts Eye and Ear. Pierce is leading a study that the procedure launched. "We're helping open, potentially, an era of gene-editing for therapeutic use that could have impact in many aspects of medicine," Pierce tells NPR. The CRISPR gene-editing technique has been revolutionizing scientific research by making it much easier to rewrite the genetic code. It's also raising high hopes of curing many diseases. Before this step, doctors had only used CRISPR to try to treat a small number of patients who have cancer, or the rare blood disorders sickle cell anemia or beta-thalassemia. While some of the initial results have been promising, it's still too soon to know whether the strategy is working. In those other cases, doctors removed cells from patients' bodies, edited genes in the cells with CRISPR in the lab and then infused the modified cells back into the volunteers' bodies to either attack their cancer or produce a protein their bodies are missing. In this new experiment, doctors at the Casey Eye Institute in Portland, Ore., injected (into the eye of a patient who is nearly blind from a condition called Leber congenital amaurosis) microscopic droplets carrying a harmless virus that had been engineered to deliver the instructions to manufacture the CRISPR gene-editing machinery. Beginning in infancy, the rare genetic condition progressively destroys light-sensing cells in the retina that are necessary for vision. Vision impairment with LCA varies widely, but most patients are legally blind and are only able to differentiate between light and dark or perhaps to detect movement. "The majority of people affected by this disease have the most severe end of the spectrum, in terms of how poor their vision is," Pierce says. "They're functionally blind." The goal is that once the virus carrying the CRISPR instructions has been infused into the eye, the gene-editing tool will slice out the genetic defect that caused the blindness. That would, the researchers hope, restore production of a crucial protein and prevent the death of cells in the retina, as well as revive other cells — enabling patients to regain at least some vision. "It's the first time the CRISPR gene-editing is used directly in a patient," Pierce says. "We're really optimistic that this has a good chance of being effective." The study is being sponsored by Editas Medicine, of Cambridge, Mass., and Allergan, based in Dublin. It will eventually involve a total of 18 patients, including some as young as ages 3 to 17, who will receive three different doses. "We're very excited about this. This is the first time we're doing editing inside the body," says Charles Albright, the chief scientific officer at Editas. "We believe that the ability to edit inside the body is going to open entire new areas of medicine and lead to a whole new class of therapies for diseases that are not treatable any other way," Albright says. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, calls the advance "a significant moment." "All of us dream that a time might be coming where we could apply this approach for thousands of diseases," Collins tells NPR. "This is the first time that's being tried in a human being. And it gives us hope that we could extend that to lots of other diseases — if it works and if it's safe." Pierce, Albright and others stressed that only one patient has been treated so far and that the study, still at a very early stage, is designed primarily to determine whether injecting the gene-editing tool directly into the eye is safe. To that end, the researchers are starting with lowest dose and the oldest patients, who have already suffered extensive damage to their vision. And doctors are only treating one eye in each patient. All of those steps are being taken in case the treatment somehow backfires, causing more damage instead of being helpful. "CRISPR has never been used directly inside a patient before," Pierce says. "We want to make sure we're doing it right." Still, he says, if the underlying defect can be repaired in this patient and others with advanced damage, "we have the potential to restore vision to people who never had normal vision before. It would indeed be amazing." The study involves a form of Leber congenital amaurosis known as Type 10, which is caused by a defect in the CEP290 gene. If t

Question: Labor Clout Takes A Hit In Supreme Court Ruling On Dues

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

On its final day in session of its 2017-2018 term, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that will hurt public sector unions in the pocketbook, and deal a blow to labor's clout in the political arena. In the case of Janus v. AFSCME, the court ruled, in a 5-4 vote with conservatives winning out, that government employee unions cannot require represented workers to pay a cent in union dues or fees. It's a decision that could cost labor unions tens of millions of dollars — depending on how many workers simply decide that they'd rather have that money in their paycheck, rather than pay it to a labor organization. And they can make that decision and still live and work under contracts negotiated by unions providing pay levels and benefits packages. And while it's impossible to predict what the impact will be on any given labor union, it seems a certainty that every one of them will see some financial hit. The case affects a large swath of employees in America: police and firefighters, teachers, public health workers, municipal employees and many, many others. The case is also significant because the public sector has a high rate of unionization — representing more than a third of all such workers in 2017. (That compares to just 6.5 percent of private sector jobs that were union during the same timeframe.) So Janus potentially gets right at one of the real strengths of the otherwise battered American labor movement. Among those celebrating the ruling is Americans for Prosperity, the Koch brothers-funded group that's been part of a major national effort to enact laws limiting labor's ability to automatically collect dues from workers in union-represented jobs. AFP senior policy fellow Akash Chougule argues that the ruling isn't anti-union. "If you like your union you can keep your union," he says, "What we're saying and, again, what the court made clear, is you simply cannot force workers against their will to fund their union." Prior to this week's ruling, government employees already had the right to not pay anything to fund the union's political activity — but they were required to pay to the union something called an "agency fee" to cover costs of negotiating contracts that they benefited from. Under the Janus decision, that requirement is gone. No contribution to the union is required whatsoever for government workers nationwide. University of California, Berkeley labor specialist Harley Shaiken says Janus is meant to weaken unions "and it will likely do just that." It's hard to forecast what the impact will be for any given union. But labor will be up against the following dynamic: Employees who don't like unions can be expected to opt out and take the cash, but this could also tempt those simply ambivalent about being in a union to opt out. The single largest public sector union in the U.S. is the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, better known as AFSCME. Its president, Lee Saunders, says of Janus, "You know, it's hard to take," before adding, "We're gonna have to make some adjustments, but this is an opportunity for us." Saunders notes that the court gave indications in an earlier case three years ago that this is the direction it would go with this case. So the AFSCME leader says the union had already been adapting to the new reality. He says AFSCME has greatly improved outreach to workers about what the union does for them. He says there's more personal contact too, which includes lots of listening on the union's part. "We kind of took that for granted — the importance of communication," says Saunders, "the importance of individual communication." He says he expects that approach to help mitigate some of the financial loss. Saunders also points to a new era in labor activism across America, that comes even as the courts make things more difficult for unions. He points to the massive protests and strikes that have led to pay hikes for teachers in places like West Virginia, Oklahoma and Arizona. He says it's an indication that labor activism is still very much alive, regardless of unfavorable court cases. And there's some evidence that unions that can make the case to workers that they are delivering value can limit the dues defections now allowed under law. Shaiken says look to Nevada. It's a so-called right-to-work state, where not paying union dues is already allowed for private sector workers in union shops. Despite that, the culinary workers union in Las Vegas has remained a force both in organizing and in politics. Shaiken points out that it's the largest union in the state, with 57,000 members. "Yet 95 percent of these 57,000 workers pay union dues. Why? Because they see the effectiveness in their daily life," Shaiken says. That may be a best-case scenario. Other unions around the country are now challenged to find their own version of that model. This all comes as labor leaders pledge to be more active than ever in the 2018 and 2020 elections, where they'll find very well fun

Question: A Noir Novel For The Trump Era, From Jonathan Lethem

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

Of all the writers wrestling with the Trump presidency, it's probably safe to say that Jonathan Lethem is the only one who has managed to produce a book featuring a shootout on a decrepit Ferris wheel, hippies living off the grid in California and a detective who keeps a live possum in his desk drawer. Lethem's new book is titled The Feral Detective. It's in some ways his response to the Trump era. It's also a detective novel. "It's basically just a long chase scene interrupted by spasms of sex and violence," he says in an interview. "I've never written a book as quickly, because the velocity of the story and the antic nature of the characters swept me along. I was also, along with thinking about the election, I was hiding from all of that. I was just using this as a place to go and make up a world that was briefly one I could be amused and kind of consoled by." The Feral Detective is narrated by Phoebe, a former journalist from The New York Times who quits her job after the 2016 election and goes off to track a missing young woman out West. It's there where she encounters the private detective of the title.  Interview Highlights On beginning to write the book in January 2017 Well, you know, I'd been planning a book before that. I had a notion about the desert and this feral child who grows up to be a detective who finds missing people in the desert. And I was, you know, very complacently thinking that this would be a nice project to write during the Hillary Clinton administration. And then the fall of 2016 came, and I was sort of undone. I looked at what was on my desk and it looked about as useless as could be. I didn't think I had a book ... I probably, in some ways, was better prepared than some people because I used to be a science fiction writer. But I felt like I was living in a really different universe, and I wasn't sure that this book meant anything, or that being a novelist meant all that much. But I sort of got back on my horse like we all had to do, and then I looked at the materials, and I realized — I conceived Phoebe, who was a first-person female narrator, and that she could be, you know, the mouthpiece for my confusion. ... And the question that was really important to me was: Do they look different because they changed or because they were unmasked — because our reality had a kind of disguise torn off of it? And if I believe the second, which in many ways is what I came to feel, then my book did make sense. My book was about kind-of ancient archetypal fissures in individuals and societies, and between men and women. And I thought, "Well, OK, you know, I can try." ... In a lot of ways, this is a book about trying not to think about the election. It's about running off into a free space where maybe you can conceive that there isn't just a right and a left, a red and a blue, a man and a woman; but that there's some kind of possible reinvention. In that sense, it's, you know, it's chasing the old American fantasy of the frontier which is a ... utopian space where something can be — a new kind of world can be set up. On Phoebe being a rabidly anti-Trump character It really has mostly to do with her being a New Yorker, and feeling like the weird guy from Queens who we'd all been taking for granted as kind of a medium foreground peculiarity in our environment was suddenly thrust upon the entire world. That had really snuck up on us. Because it was a different thing for New Yorkers who were familiar with Donald Trump. He wasn't that — he wasn't a new story. On the unsettled ending Yeah, the book is a snapshot. And it's a snapshot of, you know, Phoebe and myself in the five days before and the five days after the inauguration. And they've survived some things, and they sort of are together, but they're also in a car in motion, you know. Which I guess describes how I feel just about every day.

Question: Weasel Apparently Shuts Down World's Most Powerful Particle Collider

A small mammal has sabotaged the world's most powerful scientific instrument. The Large Hadron Collider, a 17-mile superconducting machine designed to smash protons together at close to the speed of light, went offline overnight. Engineers investigating the mishap found the charred remains of a furry creature near a gnawed-through power cable. "We had electrical problems, and we are pretty sure this was caused by a small animal," says Arnaud Marsollier, head of press for CERN, the organization that runs the $7 billion particle collider in Switzerland. Although they had not conducted a thorough analysis of the remains, Marsollier says they believe the creature was "a weasel, probably." (Update: An official briefing document from CERN indicates the creature may have been a marten.) The shutdown comes as the LHC was preparing to collect new data on the Higgs Boson, a fundamental particle it discovered in 2012. The Higgs is believed to endow other particles with mass, and it is considered to be a cornerstone of the modern theory of particle physics. Researchers have seen some hints in recent data that other, yet-undiscovered particles might also be generated inside the LHC. If those other particles exist, they could revolutionize researcher's understanding of everything from the laws of gravity, to quantum mechanics. Unfortunately, Marsollier says, scientists will have to wait while workers bring the machine back online. Repairs will take a few days, but getting the machine fully ready to smash might take another week or two. "It may be mid-May," he says. These sorts of mishaps are not unheard of, says Marsollier. The LHC is located outside of Geneva. "We are in the countryside, and of course we have wild animals everywhere." There have been previous incidents, including one in 2009, when a bird is believed to have dropped a baguette onto critical electrical systems. Nor are the problems exclusive to the LHC: In 2006, raccoons conducted a "coordinated" attack on a particle accelerator in Illinois. It is unclear whether the animals are trying to stop humanity from unlocking the secrets of the universe. Of course, small mammals cause problems in all sorts of organizations. Yesterday, a group of children took National Public Radio off the air for over a minute before engineers could restore the broadcast. KELLY MCEVERS, HOST:  And now, a story about something small taking down something very, very, very big. The world's largest scientific instrument, the Large Hadron Collider, is an underground concrete ring 17 miles around. NPR's science editor Geoff Brumfiel has visited the site. GEOFF BRUMFIEL, BYLINE: It's beautiful. It's on the French-Swiss border just outside of Geneva. It's really - rolling fields and pastures. I mean, it's a great place. AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:  And that's where scientists take tiny particles - smaller than atoms - and send them flying around the ring into each other. From those collisions, they learn more about physics. BRUMFIEL: Sometime last night, they experienced an electrical problem - a disruption to the electrical systems. MCEVERS: Which shorted the magnets, and everything came to a stop. BRUMFIEL: They sent a team out to investigate. And they found a chewed-through cable and what used to be some kind of small, furry mammal near one of the power transformers. CORNISH: According to CERN, the organization that runs the collider, the culprit was probably a little weasel - no, seriously. This collider has been knocked out by animals before. And it's not the only one. BRUMFIEL: A few years ago there was an incident where a piece of bread short-circuited a power transformer. They think a bird dropped it in there. A few years before that at a collider in Illinois, they had a raccoon problem. So animals are a recurring problem for scientific progress. MCEVERS: Maybe it's time to hire Carl the groundskeeper from "Caddyshack." (SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "CADDYSHACK") BILL MURRAY: (As Carl Spackler) Hello, Mr. Gopher. Yeah, it's me, Mr. Squirrel. Yeah, hi.

Question: After Aides Accused Of Domestic Abuse Resign, Trump Says 'Lives Are Being Shattered'

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

Updated Feb. 10 at 4:17 p.m. ET President Trump appeared to defend two recently resigned members of his staff accused of domestic abuse on Saturday, arguing in a tweet for due process and saying that people's lives are being destroyed by "a mere allegation." "Peoples [sic] lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation. Some are true and some are false," Trump posted online. "Some are old and some are new. There is no recovery for someone falsely accused — life and career are gone. Is there no such thing any longer as Due Process?" The Saturday morning tweet came after Trump said Friday afternoon that he was surprised and saddened by allegations of domestic violence against a top aide, Rob Porter, who resigned this week. Hours later on Friday evening, a White House speechwriter also stepped down amid accusations of domestic abuse. Trump praised Porter's work as White House staff secretary on Friday and said he hopes the former aide goes on to a successful career elsewhere. "We wish him well," Trump told reporters during a hastily arranged photo opportunity in the Oval Office. Trump noted that Porter has denied the allegations of domestic abuse leveled by two of his ex-wives. "He says he's innocent, and I think you have to remember that," Trump said. The president used similar language in November to discuss charges of sexual misconduct against then-Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore. "He totally denies it," Trump said of Moore, even as other Republican leaders called for Moore to step aside. "He says it didn't happen. And, you know, you have to listen to him." The White House had called the allegations "very troubling." Porter resigned abruptly this week when the allegations of spousal abuse were made public, initially by the Daily Mail. A background check for security clearance was in progress at the time of his resignation. Late Friday, a second White House aide, speechwriter David Sorensen, also resigned amid allegations of domestic violence. NPR has confirmed Sorensen's departure, which was first reported by The Washington Post. "Before we were contacted by the media, we learned last night that there were allegations," said principal deputy press secretary Raj Shah. "We immediately confronted the staffer, he denied the allegations and he resigned today." Sorensen told the Post he stepped down because he "didn't want the White House to have to deal with this distraction." A White House official told NPR's Tamara Keith that Sorensen's position did not require a security clearance, but that his background check was ongoing. Sorensen was a former top policy adviser to Maine GOP Gov. Paul LePage. According to the Post, Sorensen's ex-wife "claimed that he was violent and emotionally abusive during their turbulent 2½ -year marriage." However, Sorensen alleges it was his ex-wife, Jessica Corbett, who was abusive toward him. Corbett claimed that her ex-husband "ran a car over her foot, put out a cigarette on her hand, threw her into a wall and grasped her menacingly by her hair while they were alone on their boat in remote waters off Maine's coast, an incident she said left her fearing for her life." She also provided the Post with text messages and emails in which Sorensen berated her and showed the newspaper a photo of a scar from the alleged cigarette burn. In a lengthy statement provided to the Post, Sorensen said he had "never committed violence of any kind against any woman in my entire life." "In fact, I was the victim of repeated physical violence during our marriage, not her," he added, according to the Post, also saying he had consulted with an attorney and was " 'considering legal options to address her defamation.' " "Sorensen alleged that Corbett punched him on multiple occasions," the Post reported. "Sorensen provided photos of what he said were injuries his ex-wife inflicted upon him during their fights, including bruises and scrapes," the newspaper also reported. Also according to the Post: "Corbett said several of the incidents involved alcohol and acknowledged that she slapped Sorensen a number of times after he called her a vulgar term." Sorensen's departure adds to the ongoing headache for the White House and amplifies questions about how thoroughly it not only vets staff but also takes claims of domestic abuse. At first, White House officials rallied around Porter, who described the allegations as false and "vile claims." But their public support for Porter quickly evaporated once a photo surfaced showing one of his ex-wives with a black eye. By Thursday morning, Porter had cleaned out his desk near the Oval Office, where he supervised the flow of paperwork to the president. Meanwhile, questions were swirling about how long his White House colleagues had known about the alleged abuse. Trump said he was not aware of the claims before this week's news reports. "I found out about it recently and I was surprised by it," the president said. He later added that "it was very sad when

We'll find out why some women are fed up with cat calling and what they hope to do about it. That's coming up in a moment.  First, though, we turn our attention to the Horn of Africa, where vast areas of Somalia and other nations are crippled by a devastating famine in the midst of the worst drought in six decades. More than 12 million people in East Africa are threatened with starvation, according to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. As the crisis worsens, the demand for U.S. and international aid increases.  A bipartisan congressional committee is pleading for an increase in American aid, even as reports surface that aid for famine victims is being stolen and sold in some parts of Somalia.  Joining us to talk about American aid to Somalia are Republican Representative Christopher Smith of New Jersey. He is the chairman of the House African and Global Health Subcommittee. He joins us here in our studios. Also with us is Democratic Representative Donald Payne. He serves the 10th District of New Jersey and he is the ranking member of the Africa and Global Health Subcommittee. He's on the line with us from Calgary, Canada. Gentlemen, welcome to the program, both of you.  Representative CHRISTOPHER SMITH: Tony, thank you so much for having us.  COX: Let me mention this as we begin. We've already indicated that there are reports that food is being stolen before it can get to famine victims. Here's a clip from the Associated Press about that situation.  (SOUNDBITE OF NEWS REPORT)  ASSOCIATED PRESS: The bags are labeled WFP, USAID, gifts from the people of Japan, gifts from the people of Kuwait that are being sold. Huge trucks, five-ton trucks, are pulling up in convoys of three or four trucks and unloading them openly in the market.  COX: Chairman Smith, I'm going to come to you first.  SMITH: Sure.  COX: How much does this situation complicate, A, efforts to approve money for aid, and B, to ensure that the aid is delivered to the people for whom it's intended?  SMITH: Well, the World Food Program, which is on the ground and delivering this vital food to 12.4 million people who are at risk has made it very clear that they are investigating. They also point out that it is a small percentage of the amount of food aid.  And if we backed off when so many men, women and children - especially children and women - are facing, as you said, the worst crisis in six decades, that means that the thieves and al-Shabaab, which has unfortunately exacerbated the problem beyond anyone's belief, it means that they win and more people die.  We have to increase, as the president has just done, the amount of money. The United States is now feeding some 4.6 million people who are at risk or suffering from this famine in the countries in the Horn of Africa, including Somalia. So the diversion, while it may be a small, but it's a big headline, unfortunately. Yes, investigate, but in no way diminish our efforts to feed these hungry and at risk people.  COX: Congressman Payne, put in perspective for us, if you will, the monies that we are talking about and the effect that they are having. Is it a drop in the bucket? Is it significant? How should we look at these dollars?  Representative DONALD PAYNE: Well, any dollar spent is significant. The question is, are we being able to provide enough dollars to save all of the people? And the question(sic), of course, is no.  I think, as Congressman Smith mentioned, we have recently increased our 105 million of emergency funding and another 12 million on top of that just recently, bringing about close to $600 million that we've spent for U.S. humanitarian assistance in the region this year, but it is not enough.  The good news is that other countries have also participated. I mean, countries like Belgium and Germany and Tanzania and Turkey and many of the Arab countries, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain and Kuwait and Qatar and UAE. So, there are other - this is an issue that we have seen other countries participate. But we are, the United States of America, by far the largest contributor. And I think that, as much as we can afford to contribute, we should.  COX: If you're just joining us, this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. I'm Tony Cox.  We are talking about American efforts to aid famine victims in East Africa. Our guests are Democratic Congressman Donald Payne, ranking member of the Africa and Global Health Subcommittee. Also with us, Republican Representative Christopher Smith, the chairman of that committee.  Let me ask you both. At a time

Question: 401(k) Fees Can Shave Thousands From Nest Egg

Millions of Americans save for retirement by using 401(k) accounts, employer-based retirement plans that help workers put a portion of their salary into mutual funds or other investments. But most of those plans have fees and hidden expenses. And as personal finance columnist Ron Lieber of The New York Times tells NPR's Linda Wertheimer, those fees can mean that an investor pays more than $1,000 annually. Lieber provides an example: "Let's say you're paying 1.5 percent of your balance each year toward fees and expenses from your 401(k) account," he says. Those fees and expenses cover things such as managing the account, record-keeping, and customer service. "The problem is, if you're losing that much money each year, over time, and you're investing over many decades in these funds, it's a lot of money to be losing each year," Lieber says. "I mean, it's $1,500 out of a $100,000 balance each year." Those losses add up. Over several decades, an investor could pay more than $100,000 in fees by the time retirement arrives. Federal law says that such fees have to be "reasonable," Lieber says. But most investors have no point of comparison to know where to draw the line. "A good baseline is that if your plan costs under 1 percent, that's at least halfway decent," Lieber says. "If it's more than that, it's time to start asking questions." Employees whose company doesn't give them enough no low-fee options in its retirement package should figure out who's responsible for choosing the company's plans, and talk with them "in a polite way," Lieber says. "You don't want to accuse them of being ignorant," he says. "What you want to say to them is, 'Hey, we're all in this together here. Your retirement's on the line, as well. And right now, we're paying 1.25 percent, or 1.5 percent.'" To get a better range of plans, Lieber recommends suggesting the company add more low-fee index funds to its options, or putting out a request for bids from managed mutual funds who might be willing to reduce their fees. LINDA WERTHEIMER, host:  Millions of Americans are saving for retirement through 401(k) accounts. These are company-based retirement plans that allow employees to put a portion of their salary into mutual funds or other kinds of investments and save towards retirement.  But 401(k's) and similar plans do have fees, and sometimes they're too high.  Ron Lieber has been writing about this for The New York Times. He is their personal finance columnist, and he joined us to talk more about 401(k) fees.  Welcome, Ron.  Mr. RON LIEBER (Columnist, The New York Times): Thank you for having me.  WERTHEIMER: Now, how serious a problem is this?  Mr. LIEBER: Much depends on where you work, Linda. Depending on the company and how conscientious it is about this, it may have a very low-cost plan or a very high-cost plan. The problem is it's difficult for an everyday employee who is investing money in a 401(k) plan to figure out exactly how expensive it is and how the different expenses break down.  WERTHEIMER: Well, could you just explain what the consequences are of a relatively high fee? I mean, give us an example. What would it mean?  Mr. LIEBER: Well, here's the problem. Let's say you're paying one-and-a-half percent of your balance each year towards fees and expenses from your 401(k) account.  WERTHEIMER: The fees and expenses would be, like, the management of the accounts, recordkeeping, that sort of thing?  Mr. LIEBER: Exactly. Its administrative costs. It's recordkeeping. Plus, it's the underlying fees for running the mutual funds or other investments that you're invested in. So all of that kind of gets lumped together.  WERTHEIMER: Okay. So you said, say it's a 1.5 percent fee.  Mr. LIEBER: Right. So the problem is is that if you're losing that much money each year, over time, and you're investing over many decades in these funds, it's a lot of money to be losing each year. I mean, it's, you know, $1,500 out of a $100,000 balance each year. And so as your money grows, those losses compound. It could end up being six figures, over $100,000 by the time you are done and are ready to retire.  WERTHEIMER: So how do you know if the fees in your plan are unreasonable? I mean, 1.5 percent sounds tiny.  Mr. LIEBER: Well, that's a big problem. The law says that the fees most be quote-unquote "reasonable." And there have been some lawsuits trying to establish when they are excessive. But a good baseline is that, you know, if your plan costs under 1 percent, that's at least halfway decent. If it's more than that, it's time to start asking questions.  WERTHEIMER: So what should employees do about this? I mean, say that they find out what the fees are. What then?  Mr. LIEBER: Well, I think the first thing you do is you need to figure out who it is in your employer that's responsible for the retirement plan. And you need to go to them in a polite way, right? I mean, you don't want to accuse them of being ignorant. What you want to say to them is sa

Question: VIDEO: What Iowa Looks Like Ahead Of The Caucuses

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

In Iowa, voters expect candidates to come to them. Homes, churches and schools serve as intimate venues for presidential hopefuls to meet and greet with folks who could have an impact on the momentum of their campaigns. "We expect to shake their hands, we expect to look them in the eye, we expect to be able to ask them the questions we care about," says Rachel Paine Caufield, a political science professor at Drake University in Des Moines. The Iowa caucuses are on Monday — the first contest of the 2020 presidential race — and candidates are making a final push in the state. (A tradition that has been disrupted for candidates who are also senators and obligated to observe President Trump's impeachment trial.) Here's what it looks and sounds like to be among the eager voters and committed activists ahead of the big event. Video produced by NPR's Michael Zamora.

Question: Jobless Claims Rise Sharply

There were 474,000 first-time claims for unemployment benefits last week, up 43,000 from the week before, the Employment and Training Administration reports. That's the highest level in eight months, The Associated Press writes. The wire service adds that:  "A Labor department spokesman blamed much of the increase in unemployment  applications on an unexpected spike from New York. More school systems than  usual closed for spring break last week. That resulted in 25,000 layoffs. The  department didn't anticipate the closures when making seasonal adjustments, the  spokesman said. "Other factors also contributed to the increase, the spokesman said. Oregon  launched its own extended unemployment benefit program, which caused an increase  in overall applications in the state for unemployment benefits. And auto-related  layoffs rose, as some companies have shut down or slowed production due to parts  shortages stemming from the earthquake in Japan."  Also this morning, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that productivity rose at a 1.6 percent annual rate in the first quarter. And, General Motors said it earned $3.2 billion in the first quarter.

['Represent this short title to find a subtitle that might be right below it on NPR', "UBS To Pay $1.5 Billion For 'Routine And Widespread' Rate Rigging"] == ['Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth', 'Swiss banking giant UBS AG has agreed to pay $1.5 billion in fines to regulators in the U.S., Britain and Switzerland for its part in a scheme to manipulate the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR), which is used to set rates on contracts around the world. The bank confirmed the news in a statement. As The Associated Press reports, UBS is "the second bank, after Britain\'s Barclays PLC, to settle over the rate-rigging scandal." Barclays is paying $450 million in fines. The AP adds that:  "In accepting the fines, UBS said some of its employees tried to rig the LIBOR rate in several currencies, but that its Japan unit, where much of the manipulation took place, entered a plea to one count of wire fraud in an agreement with the U.S. Justice Department. "UBS said some of its personnel had \'engaged in efforts to manipulate submissions for certain benchmark rates to benefit trading positions\' and that some employees had \'colluded with employees at other banks and cash brokers to influence certain benchmark rates to benefit their trading positions.\' "UBS added that \'inappropriate directions\' had been submitted that were \'in part motivated by a desire to avoid unfair and negative market and media perceptions during the financial crisis.\' "  The Wall Street Journal writes that "authorities on Wednesday painted a picture of \'routine and widespread\' attempts by UBS employees to rig Libor and the euro interbank offered rate, or Euribor. The U.K. Financial Services Authority said it had identified more than 2,000 such attempts between 2005 and 2010 with the participation or awareness of at least 45 UBS traders and executives. Adding to the severity of the allegations, the FSA said UBS engaged in collusive efforts with other financial institutions to rig the benchmarks." The Journal also reports that:  "UBS acknowledged the regulators\' findings. \'We are disappointed to discover what happened,\' UBS Chief Executive Sergio Ermotti said in an interview. \'We are taking responsibility for what happened.\' "  Earlier this year, Planet Money wrote about "the real victims in the LIBOR scandal."'] != ['Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth', 'Our posts so far today: -- Reports:  Emails Indicate White House Was Worried About Solyndra. -- Will  She Tip Over?
