Chapter One LumaThe name Luma means “dark lips,” though Hassan and Sawsan al-Mufleh chose it for their first child less because of the shade of her lips than because they liked the sound of the name–short, endearing, and cheerful–in the context of both Arabic and English. The al-Mufl ehs were a wealthy, Westernized family in Amman, Jordan, a teeming city of two million, set among nineteen hills and cooled by a swirl of dry desert breezes. The family made its fortune primarily from making rebar–the metal rods used to strengthen concrete–which it sold across Jordan. Hassan had attended a Quaker school in Lebanon, and then college in the United States at the State University of New York in Oswego–“the same college as Jerry Seinfeld,” he liked to tell people. Luma’s mother, Sawsan, was emotional and direct, and there was never any doubt about her mood or feelings. Luma, though, took after her father, Hassan, a man who  mixed unassailable toughness with a capacity to detach, a combination that seemed designed to keep his emotions hidden for fear of revealing weakness. “My sister and my dad don’t like people going into them and knowing who they are,” said Inam al-Mufl eh, Luma’s younger sister byeleven years and now a researcher for the Jordanian army in Amman. “Luma’s very sensitive but she never shows it. She doesn’t want anyone to know where her soft spot is.” As a child, Luma was doted on by her family, sometimes to an extraordinary degree. At the age of three, Luma idly mentioned to her grandmother that she thought her grandparents’ new Mercedes 450 SL was “beautiful.” The next day, the grandparents’ driver showed up at Hassan and Sawsan al-Mufl eh’s home with a gift: a set of keys to the Mercedes, which, they were told, now belonged to their threeyear-old daughter. Hassan too doted on his eldest child. He had high expectations for her, and imagined her growing up to fulfi ll the prescribed role of a woman in a prominent Jordanian family. He expected her to marry, to stay close to home, and to honor her family. From the time Luma was just a young girl, adults around her began to note her quiet confi dence, which was so pronounced that her parents occasionally found themselves at a loss. “When we would go to the PTA meetings,” Hassan recalled, “they’d ask me, ‘Why are you asking about Luma? She doesn’t need your help.’ ” Sometimes, Luma’s parents found themselves striving to please their confi dent daughter, rather than the other way around. Hassan recalled that on a family vacation to Spain when Luma was ten or eleven years old, he had ordered a glass of sangria over dinner, in violation of the Muslim prohibition against drinking alcohol. When the drink arrived, Luma began to sob uncontrollably. “She said, ‘I love my father too much–I don’t want him to go to hell,’ ” Hassan recalled. He asked the waitress to take the sangria away. “I didn’t drink after that,” he said. Luma encouraged–or perhaps demanded–that her younger sister, Inam, cultivate self-suffi ciency, often against Inam’s own instincts or wishes. “She was a tough older sister–very tough love,” Inam said. “She would make me do things that I didn’t want to do. She never wanted me to take the easy way out. And she wouldn’t accept me crying.” Inam said that she has a particularly vivid memory of her older sister’s tough love in action. The al-Mufl ehs had gathered with their cousins, as they often did on weekends, at the family farm in a rural area called Mahes, half an hour from Amman. Inam, who was just seven or eight at the time, said that Luma took her and a group of young cousins out to a dirt road to get some exercise. The kids set off jogging, with Luma trailing them in the family Range Rover. It was hot and dry and hilly, and one by one, the kids began to complain.  But Luma wouldn’t have any of it. She insisted that they keep running. “She was in the car, and we were running like crazy,” Inam recalled.  “Everyone was crying. And if I would cry, she would just look at me.” That withering look, which Luma would perfect over the years, had the stinging effect of a riding crop. Despite the pain, little Inam kept running. Luma’s drill-sergeant routine at Mahes became a kind of family legend, recalled to rib Hassan and Sawsan’s firstborn for her tough exterior.  The family knew another side of Luma–one that others rarely encountered–that of a sensitive, even sentimental young woman with a deep concern for those she perceived to be weak or defenseless.  Luma laughed along with everyone else. She enjoyed a good joke and a well-earned teasing, even at her own expense. But jokes aside, Luma&#8

Question: The News Roundup — International

President Donald Trump announced this week that all American troops in Afghanistan will be “home by Christmas.” His announcement follows one from National Security Advisor Robert O’Brian, detailing a plan to reduce the number of troops based there to 2,500. German leaders are preparing for the possibility of a new COVID-19 outbreak within the country’s borders following a significant overnight rise in cases. Predictions are projecting that new cases may reach 10,000 a day in the near future if the infection rate isn’t brought under control. A U.S. judge ordered Iran to pay $1.45 billion to the family of an FBI agent who disappeared while on a trip to the country in 2007. Tehran has long denied that Robert Levinson died in its custody. Plus, the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh continues to escalate. From Vox:
Past skirmishes typically lasted no more than a few days, but this one has only continued and intensified. Stepanakert, a city of over 50,000 people, has experienced heavy artillery fire from Azerbaijan since October 2, while Azerbaijan says Armenia has shelled the country’s second-largest city, Ganja, and other missiles elsewhere — each assault putting civilians in grave danger. These and other actions have made the past 10 days the most violent, bloody, and deadly since the 1994 ceasefire. “They’re already calling it the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War,” said Roya Talibova, an Azerbaijani who was internally displaced by the violence of the first war and is now a PhD student at the University of Michigan. “What I’m seeing now reminds me of what I saw in the 1990s.”  We cover the most important stories from around the globe on the News Roundup.

Question: Obama May Not Need To Repeat 2008 Support From White Voters To Win

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

While much of what will happen on Election Day is now unknowable, we can predict with certainty that President Obama won't win a majority of the white vote. No news there. No Democratic presidential candidate, after all, has received the support of most white voters since President Lyndon Johnson's 1964 historic rout of Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona. Still, four years ago, Obama did manage to get a very respectable 43 percent of white voters to choose him over Goldwater's Senate successor from Arizona, Sen. John McCain. That was then. As Election Day 2012 nears, Obama appears unlikely to come anywhere near to attracting the percentage of overall white voters he did four years ago. But that may not matter because of growth in voter groups much more inclined to back the nation's first black president, members of minority groups, especially African-Americans and Latinos, who can counter Obama's losses with many white voters, especially those defined as working class. How bad are Obama's prospects with white voters? A recent Washington Post-ABC News poll put Obama's support among white voters at 38 percent, dangerous territory for a president seeking re-election. The same poll placed Republican Mitt Romney's support from white voters at 59 percent. The Washington Post reported that was the lowest level of support for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1988, when Michael Dukakis received 40 percent of the white vote against then-Vice President George H.W. Bush. (The Roper Center indicates Bill Clinton came in slightly lower than that in 1992, at 39 percent of the white vote in a three-way race featuring Bush and Ross Perot.) In 2008, Obama lost white working-class voters to McCain by 18 points. He's not the only Democrat to fare poorly with these voters. In the 2010 congressional midterm election, which found Democrats losing control of the House, Democrats lost the white working-class vote to Republicans by 30 points. There appear to be exceptions, however, as in all-important Ohio. A recent Quinnipiac University poll showed Obama trailing Romney among white voters without a college degree there by only 4 percentage points — Romney, 49 percent, Obama 45 percent. That helps explain why in a number of Ohio polls, Obama has a small lead over Romney. For Romney to win Ohio, he would need to drive down Obama's support with white voters, said Peter Brown, assistant director of the university's polling institute, who was quoted in a news release: "President Obama won 46 percent of the white vote in Ohio in 2008 when he carried the state by five points. Romney probably needs to hold Mr. Obama to less than 40 percent of the white vote if he is to win Ohio, and he has a ways to go at this point." Even as Obama's support from white voters has slipped, those losses have been offset, more or less, by other voters, as minorities, who identify strongly with the Democratic Party, become a larger part of the population of eligible voters. "It depends on what you're putting the emphasis on, right?' said Ruy Teixeira, one of Washington's better-known political demographers, in an interview. Teixeira has long buoyed Democrats with his predictions that the nation's changing demographics favor Democrats. "Is it more interesting that Obama's going to do worse among whites or is it more interesting that Obama is going to hold all of his minority support from 2008 and then some, which is actually quite remarkable?" In April, and in a report called "The Path to 270," Teixeira argued that Obama's support from minority voters could result in the president's winning re-election even if Romney outperforms the numbers McCain got nationally among white voters. As Teixeira explained at an April panel discussion at the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington, Obama could still win even if he does as badly with white voters as the 2010 congressional Democrats (again, they lost white working-class voters by 30 points. They lost college-educated whites by 19 points). And Obama could still win if he does as badly as Sen. John Kerry in 2004 against President George W. Bush. The Democratic presidential nominee that election cycle lost white working-class and college-educated voters by 23 percent and 11 percent respectively. Teixeira told the audience at the April event: "Obama could do as badly as John Kerry did, but the country has changed enough in the last eight years, he could still pull out the election if he got 75 percent of the minority vote." And that 75 percent is a somewhat conservative figure. Obama's support from nonwhites is hovering above 80 percent, according to polling from the Washington Post-ABC News. A quick look at population changes in battleground states illustrates why the Obama campaign has reason for confidence despite the challenges of being an incumbent president during a period of relatively high joblessness. Here's the growth of the nonwhite eligible voter populations in battleground states between November 2008

Question: The Fed Warms Up The Printing Press

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

It sounds like the Federal Reserve is about to create a lot more money out of thin air. The idea would be to help the economy by driving down interest rates for businesses and ordinary people, encouraging everyone to borrow and spend more money. To drive down interest rates, the Fed would probably buy medium- or long-term bonds. This is known as quantitative easing, or QE, and the Fed has already done it once in the past few years (see "How To Spend $1.25 Trillion"). People are calling the next round QE2. In the past week, several top Fed officials have suggested QE2 could be coming soon. Read More: "This is a far grimmer forecast than we ought to have" Here's the president of the Chicago Fed, in an interview with the WSJ ("accommodation," in the world of the Fed, basically means creating more money):  This is a far grimmer forecast than we ought to have. So yes, I’m in  favor of more accommodation.  And the president of the New York Fed said in a recent speech:  Even in today's challenging circumstances, lower long-term rates would  support the economy through a number of channels. ... further action is likely to be warranted unless the economic outlook  evolves ... .  Ben Bernanke -- who spoke highly of bond purchases in a big speech this summer -- repeated this week that "additional purchases ... have the ability to ease financial conditions." And the Fed's Open Market Committee, which makes these sorts of decisions, said last month that QE2 is on the table. The Fed's leaders clearly aren't united on this front. The president of the Philly Fed recently said that QE2 would not "have much impact on the near-term outlook for employment," and could "hurt the Fed's credibility." And the president of the Kansas City Fed has consistently argued that the crisis is over, and the Fed should back off from the policies it's taken to revive the economy. He's said that keeping the heroic measures in place could create another bubble. Despite these objections, the Fed on balance seems to be leaning toward more action. "The consensus is starting to form around more asset purchases," an economist at JPMorgan Chase told Bloomberg. "Bernanke doesn't mind that there's open public debate, but when the majority does come to a view, he wants the public and the markets to understand what that view is ... ." An announcement could come in early November, when the Fed's Open Market Committee has its next meeting.

Question: In New Orleans, Music Education Programs Cautiously Fall Back In Step

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

In the weeks after this year's Mardi Gras celebrations, New Orleans experienced one of the most explosive COVID-19 outbreaks in the country. Since then, music has largely been missing from a city that depends on it. Parades have been canceled for the upcoming Mardi Gras season and indoor performances are prohibited. Outdoor performances, no matter how small, require a permit. The restrictions, meant to limit the spread of the coronavirus, have devastated professional musicians and affected other aspects of the city's vibrant music scene, including education. Sonya Robinson, co-director of the arts education nonprofit Artist Corps New Orleans, says one reason why music education has been slow to start back up in New Orleans is the disproportionate impact the virus has had on African Americans. "We [probably] have the largest percentage of Black educators in the country ... that are music educators, and we know that our community was one of those hardest hit," Robinson says.  Robinson's organization is in the process of developing recommendations for New Orleans public schools on how to resume music education during the pandemic. She says that while some teachers are eager to get back in the classroom, others still fear for their safety: Singing and wind instruments have been linked to superspreader events, and practicing them requires careful planning. Public schools began to gradually reopen in late September, and by mid-October, the district's 45,000 students had the option to learn in-person at least several days a week. While the district doesn't offer detailed guidance on how to teach music during the pandemic, it is permitted: Bands and choirs can practice outdoors as long as they remain socially distanced and adhere to their school's maximum group size. At Edna Karr High School, on the West Bank, marching band practice resumed in late October with a cap of 25 students per rehearsal. The trombones, normally the band's largest section, were given Tuesdays all to themselves.  Chris Herrero is the band's director. Before that, he was a student in the band himself. He's in his early 30s now, and has already led Karr's musicians for more than a decade. "Before they let us rehearse, the kids were going crazy, just like I was," Herrero says. "They were frustrated because a lot of these kids had looked forward to being in Edna Karr's band since they were in middle school, when they started playing an instrument." Karr is considered to have one of the best marching bands in the city. But when the pandemic closed schools back in March, its musicians couldn't practice together. Many didn't practice at all. "Imma tell the truth: I ain't touched a horn since the last time we were in practice," Ty'chelle Watts, a senior in the band, says. Herrero's band is back, but not all the way: The 100-plus member ensemble came together for full-band rehearsal in late November, but still hasn't performed. Many students have decided not to attend school in person, which means they only come to the building for band practice. Transportation has been an issue, and some students have missed rehearsal to care for younger siblings or work after-school jobs. Watts says it's upsetting starting the season late and not knowing whether they'll even get to play for an audience. "This is our senior year and we don't get any football games, homecoming, senior night, none of that," she says. "That's really messed up. But I guess you gotta deal with it. Enjoy what we got." Herrero says he understands his students' disappointment and is looking for other ways to let them perform, virtually or in-person. But for now, there's still a massive sense of relief in simply being allowed to practice together. He jokes that in a typical year, the kids used to spend more time with him than their own families. On a serious note, he adds that the program helps kids get into college and provides them with a safe place to work through issues at home or school through music. "That's one thing that has worried me during this time," Herrero says, thinking back on the months without band practice. "Like, what are my kids doing right now?" He mentions Ivan Wheeler, a 16-year-old marching band drummer who was shot and killed in mid-October. Wheeler attended Landry-Walker High School, Edna Karr's rival. "You know, just think if his band had been going full force the whole time, he wouldn't have been out there," Herrero says. In New Orleans, all public schools are charter schools. There's no standard arts program and many schools don't provide any art or music instruction at all. For the most part, the institutions focus on high-stakes testing, which is tied to charter renewals. Jonathan Bloom works with Artist Corps, and taught music in the city's public schools for almost 40 years. He says that even when there was a district-wide music department, it was underfunded. "[The district] just said, 'Look, everybody can just play music, anybody can do that.' And the band

Question: Missile Defense: Does It Work?

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

The U.S. said this week that it will not deploy a planned ground-based missile defense in Eastern Europe. Instead, a different system will be deployed. While there has been plenty of diplomatic and political fallout over the decision, there hasn't been a lot of talk about whether the new approach would actually work. With enough jargon to bring joy to a geek's heart, Gen. James Cartwright outlined the vision for missile defense in Europe on Thursday. "As we move into the second phase, which, as [Defense Secretary Robert Gates] said, is somewhere around the 2015 time frame, we expect to have an upgrade to the SM-3 Block IA, which will be called the SM-3 Block IB," Cartwright announced. "We're a little bit anal about this, but that's the way we laid it out." Here's what he's actually saying: The missile that shoots down missiles, called the standard missile 3, will be upgraded over time. It will be deployed on ships, and eventually on land, in and around Europe. The goal is to defend the continent from short- and medium-range Iranian ballistic missiles. The Obama administration says the new system is better than the one they're scrapping.  "We now have proven capabilities to intercept these ballistic missiles with land-and-sea-based interceptors supported by much-improved sensors," Defense Secretary Gates has said. But how proven are those capabilities? Theodore Postol is a professor at MIT, former adviser to the chief of Naval Operations, and something of a missile defense skeptic. He says some successful tests, and the shooting down of a satellite last year, give him some confidence in the system. "There are problematic features of the defense, but that's true of all defenses," Postol says. "But if you're just talking about the general engineering assessment of the two systems, I think it is clear that the Navy system is far better tested." The Navy system is the new one. To understand what's still problematic, you need to know a little of how these missiles work.  "Think about a missile in space as the equivalent of a light bulb in a totally dark environment," Postol says. The interceptor can easily see that light, but it can't really see any details of the target from any distance — and it's moving incredibly fast toward it. "You only have a tenth of a second, or a fraction of a second to make any adjustments — which is essentially no time  so you tend to hit the middle of the target," Postol explains. Which you would think would be a good thing — but it isn't. The middle is not the warhead; it's the rocket. So the rocket might be destroyed, but the warhead keeps going. It's like a ball that's already been thrown. Postol says that for the current threat, conventionally armed missiles, this isn't ideal. But there's only so much damage these kinds of missiles can do.  But then there's the nightmare scenario. "If the threat becomes nuclear, it's quite serious," Postol says. "In my view, the defense will not be adequate." That, says Postol, is what the debate should be about. People talk about giving up our defensive capabilities, he says, but "if you don't have much defensive capability, I don't know what you're giving up."

Question: Family Dollar Tells Hedge Fund: Shop Somewhere Else

Family Dollar's board of directors has unanimously rejected a takeover bid from a New York hedge fund.  The offer from the Trian Fund had put the Charlotte-based company's value at $6.99 billion. The discount retailer's stores have thrived during the U.S. economic slump, as consumers looked for cheaper prices. Over the past three years, Family Dollar's stock price has risen by more than 150 percent. The publicly held company is led by the same family that opened the chain's first store, in 1959. Greg Collard of WFAE in Charlotte reports:  The board unanimously rejected an offer from a New York hedge fund. Trian Fund Management offered $55 to $60 a share. That's more than Family Dollar's current stock price, which has been hovering in the low 50s. Still, the company says the offer is not in the best interest of shareholders. Chairman and CEO Howard Levine says Family Dollar's profitability shows its business plan is working. The hedge fund is Family Dollar's largest shareholder, with about 8 percent of the company's stock.  Family Dollar says that there are more than 6,800 of its stores now operating in 44 states. As part of its rejection of the Trian offer, the company also adopted a "poison pill" plan to dilute shares in the event of an unwelcome takeover.

Question: In 'Zohan,' the Messiah Complex Gets a Makeover

Last week on Fresh Air, I spoke of liking the film of Sex and the City-- and I stand by that review, even if everywhere I look there are jerks impugning my manliness.  The magazine I write for ran an online item in which men were asked what they'd rather do than sit through the movie, and the answers ranged from eating someone else's booger to being mauled by Michael Vick's pit bulls.  Excuse me, but I happen to be confident enough in my heterosexual masculinity to enjoy seeing how the female half lives, loves, and wears fabulous clothes — and on my side, I have the Zohan.  That's the Zohan of You Don't Mess with the Zohan, Adam Sandler's Israeli Mossad super-warrior — master of hand-to-hand-to-elastic-foot combat and a babe magnet who can satisfy harems of hot chicks plus scores of eager ladies over 60. (He's serenely generous with his favors.)  But he's tired of war: He dreams of giving up fighting and becoming a hairdresser like his hero Paul Mitchell. He especially loves the pouffy, feathered look that was big around 1985. During a battle royale with John Turturro's Palestinian super-terrorist, the Phantom, Zohan fakes his death and high-tails it to New York, where no one wants to give him a job styling hair. This is perhaps understandable: His tryout at a children's salon — involving a better-sit-still admonition complete with a mention of pooling blood — suggests a certain lack of finesse when it comes to the needs of the clientele. You Don't Mess with the Zohan is metrosexual camp; it's all cartoony slapstick and racial caricatures and look-at-the-ta-tas-on-that-hot-babe reaction shots. That said, it was co-written by Sandler, Judd Apatow, and Triumph the Insult Dog's Robert Smigel, and it's often very funny. Turturro gives flabbergasting bird-warbles of rage, and even Rob Schneider has moments as a Palestinian cabbie who can't get past the Hezbollah headquarters' automated answering system.  But the movie is nowhere near the class of Sandler's last, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, which in its adolescent way was more powerfully in-your-face against homophobia than even Brokeback Mountain — something most critics missed, perhaps on account of there being other things in your face, like the 600-pound man cutting the cheese with Sandler's head wedged between his legs. But even at Zohan's most juvenile, there's something mesmerizing about Sandler's messiah fantasies — ego-baths only a major movie star could give himself, like being a sex god, a biblical warrior, and a finicky hairdresser. He even bridges the gap between himself and the Palestinians who want to kill him.  He satirizes his own potency at the same time he peddles it — yet he never falls into the Jerry Lewis mode of naked self-infatuation. Something fogbound in his demeanor takes the edge off — a quality Paul Thomas Anderson used in Punch Drunk Love, in which Sandler played an emotionally overdefended child-man floating through the world in a lyrical bubble. He has a layer of irony under a layer of tenderness under a layer of irony — with a pool of anger that moves around like Jupiter's Great Red Spot.  Some performers become stars because we can read them instantly; others, like Sandler, because we never tire of trying to get a fix on them. Who is he really? Based on Zohan, he's the sort of man with whom I'd want to knock back shots, put firecrackers under some preening yuppie's chair — and, yes, go to Sex in the City.

E.g. ['Represent this short title to find a subtitle that might be right below it on NPR', 'Western Tuesday: Sanders And Cruz Claim Victories — But Not Arizona'] == ['represent the subtitle to find a news title on npr with less details', 'Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz each notched victories in Tuesday\'s Western contests, but Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump\'s big wins in Arizona still mean their overall delegate lead won\'t change much. On the Democratic side, Sanders won big victories in the Utah and Idaho caucuses, but the much smaller prizes could end up netting him roughly the same number of delegates Clinton will get from her Arizona win. In the GOP race, Trump claimed all 58 Arizona delegates thanks to his victory in the winner-take-all primary. It was by far the biggest prize of the night and a further complication for Republicans hoping to stop the controversial real estate mogul\'s march to the nomination. Trump\'s hard-line position on immigration and promise to build a massive border wall won him support of influential Republicans in the state, including former Gov. Jan Brewer and popular Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. But there was still some encouraging news for the anti-Trump forces — the Associated Press projected that Cruz was on pace for a big win in Utah, finishing above the 50 percent threshold that would give him all 40 of the state\'s delegates. That also means John Kasich would net zero delegates from Tuesday\'s contests. The Ohio governor was running second in heavily Mormon Utah, where Trump was expected to struggle. But in Arizona, which had heavy early voting for nearly a month, Kasich was actually in fourth behind Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who ended his campaign last week. Even with such disappointing results, Kasich has not given any indication he would end his candidacy, and his campaign argued in a memo earlier Tuesday evening he was still the most electable general election candidate. After Clinton\'s win in Arizona — a state Sanders had hoped to contest — she cast an eye toward the general election, arguing she is the candidate best qualified on national security, particularly in the wake of Tuesday\'s deadly terrorist attacks in Brussels. "What Donald Trump and Ted Cruz and others are suggesting, it\'s not only wrong, it\'s dangerous," she said of the GOP candidates\' calls to close the U.S. borders and for more policing of Muslim communities. "It will not keep us safe. This is a time for America to lead, not to cower." Despite his loss in Arizona, Sanders pointed to the heavy turnout the night\'s contests had sparked and argued he had come a long way in closing the gap with Clinton, given the deficit he started with last year. There was heavy turnout in both Idaho and Utah, where long lines delayed the caucuses\' start. "I am enormously grateful to the people of Utah and Idaho for the tremendous voter turnouts that gave us victories with extremely large margins," Sanders said in a statement early Wednesday morning. "The impressive numbers of young people and working-class people who participated in the process are exactly what the political revolution is all about. These decisive victories in Idaho and Utah give me confidence that we will continue to win major victories in the coming contests." Democrats will turn their attention next to Saturday contests in Alaska, Hawaii and Washington state. For Republicans, there isn\'t another big contest for two weeks, when the remaining trio of GOP contenders will battle in Wisconsin on April 5.'] != ['Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR', 'Good morning, here are our early stories: -- Biden: McConnell Refused To Sign Bipartisan Statement On Russian Interference. -- Trump Lashes Out After Schumer Withdraws Offer On Border Wall. -- Remains Of 5 Gas Rig Workers Recovered After Explosion In Oklahoma. -- The Memo, The Bureau And The Missing Texts: Get Caught Up On The War Over The FBI. -- Google\'s Space Race To The Moon Ends, And Nobody Wins Lunar X Prize. -- Sen.

Question: SFJAZZ Center Opening Night On JazzSet

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

Noodling gloriously, sax men Joe Lovano and Joshua Redman feel their way into the acoustics of a new space with "Blackwell's Message," named for the irresistible drumming of Ed Blackwell, who parlayed his New Orleans parade beat all over the world. Coincidentally, New Orleans' WWOZ is providing the recording crew and a host for a live webcast and broadcast on NPR Music. We have highlights here. Since 2004, SFJAZZ has sent its own ensemble into the world to make new music and promote the home organization. Every year, each individual in the eight-piece SFJAZZ Collective arranges a work by a major composer — in 2013, it's Chick Corea — and writes original music for the group. SFJAZZ Executive Artistic Director Randall Kline inspired Miguel Zenón's "Mastermind" (although Kline soft-pedals the "props" in Zenón's title). Joshua Redman — a previous Artistic Director of SFJAZZ — leads a quartet in "Remember" by Irving Berlin. Bassist and vocalist Esperanza Spalding and drummer Eric Harland duet in her "Look No Further." An indoor mural in the new SFJAZZ Center, at the corner of Franklin and Fell, depicts historic venues like The Black Hawk (1949-63) at Turk and Hyde in the Tenderloin District, and Keystone Korner (1973-83) in North Beach. Over the years, WBGO and NPR have broadcast live from the Bay Area on many a New Year's Eve, including a recent one at Yoshi's in Oakland with the magnificent McCoy Tyner. Tyner is here to open the SFJAZZ Center with his "Blues on the Corner." Will the new Center drain resources from the city's jazz scene? In an interview on NPR's A Blog Supreme, SFJAZZ Director of Education Rebeca Mauleón doesn't see it that way. She writes, "A new home for music with a state-of-the-art hall (as well as devoted educational spaces) is the dream of musicians and audiences alike. And for San Francisco to add another building in the hub of our cultural corridor represents many things: from jobs and improvements to our surrounding neighborhood to enhanced networks. Having a space to gather, to play, to sing, dance, learn, discuss, celebrate — these are incredibly meaningful." Since this night, the SFJAZZ Center has cut the ribbon on the Joe Henderson Lab room (named for the international saxophonist who lived in San Francisco), launched the Hotplate Festival of local talent and opened a restaurant — and this month alone will host concerts and conversations with Jason Moran, Regina Carter, Béla Fleck, Paula West, Tony Bennett and more. It's more than a triumph of community, leadership, vision and fundraising. It's a place to bring your heart.

Question: McDonald's Shuts Its Restaurants In Crimea

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

McDonald's, citing the "evolving situation" in Crimea, said Friday it was closing its three restaurants on the Black Sea peninsula, but the move has prompted one prominent Moscow politician to call for the fast-food giant to be booted from all of Russia. "Due to operational reasons beyond our control, McDonald's has taken the decision to temporarily close our three restaurants in Simferopol, Sevastopol and Yalta," a spokeswoman said. "Like many other multi-national companies, McDonald's is currently evaluating potential business and regulatory implications which may result from the evolving situation in Crimea," McDonald's said in a statement. The company emphasized that it is "strictly a business decision which has nothing to do with politics." According to Reuters:  "McDonald's said it hoped to resume work as soon as possible but said it would help relocate staff to work in mainland Ukraine, signaling it did not expect its Crimean businesses to reopen in the near future."  But the move has sparked anger among Russia's far right, The Associated Press reports:  "Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the leader of the nationalist Liberal-Democratic Party, or LDPR, said in televised comments that he would welcome the closure of McDonald's restaurants throughout Russia. " 'I will give an order to the LDPR local branches to place pickets outside all of McDonald's restaurants,' Zhirinovsky said in televised remarks. "Other pro-Kremlin lawmakers quickly indicated the government has no intention of cracking down on McDonald's. Sergei Zheleznyak, a deputy speaker of the lower house and a leading member of the main Kremlin's party, the United Russia, was quoted by the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper as saying that there is no plan to shut down McDonald's."

Question: A Perfectly Cromulent Classical Guide To 'The Simpsons' Marathon

From its start nearly 25 years ago, The Simpsons was different. Not only was it animated, it had a Murderer's Row of voice actors and writing talent. It was absurdly funny and more than occasionally touching. Today, the show still embraces an uncommonly wide range of comedy, from slapstick to laser-guided wordplay. History's longest-running American prime-time scripted TV show also has its recurring obsessions, from politics to religion to sports (Marge, watching basketball: "How come they never call traveling anymore?"). Classical music has come up again and again on the show, even from its earliest days. The second episode, from January 1990, includes a trip to the opera — Bizet's Carmen, performed, as a sign says, "Tonite Only in RUSSIAN." Over the seasons, there have been references to composers, singers, instrumentalists and even, in one memorable case, the architect of an iconic concert hall. In September, members of the cast, series creator Matt Groening and guests including Conan O'Brien and Jon Lovitz will join the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and music director Thomas Wilkins for three concerts featuring scenes from the show. For a program that honors the entire tradition of animation and film scoring, it's fitting that they'll be where Bugs Bunny conducted. Thursday, a 12-day marathon of every Simpsons episode to date begins on the new Fox network FXX. All 552 shows are running in their premiere order, from 10 a.m. ET/PT Thursday to midnight Sept. 1. Here's a guide to a few of the episodes with classical cameos — note that Aug. 28 is an especially highbrow day. (All times Eastern and Pacific.) Thursday, Aug. 21, 10:30 a.m. "Bart the Genius" (1990) Bart switches IQ tests with a legitimate genius. Feeling guilty about not having encouraged Bart's brilliance, Marge buys tickets to Carmen. Bart sings along: "Toreador, oh, don't spit on the floor. Please use the cuspidor, that's what it's for." (Yet this may be only the silver medal sitcom Carmen — the gold still goes to Gilligan's Island.) Thursday Aug. 28, 3:30 a.m. "Margical History Tour" (2004) In this elaborate Amadeus spoof, the shelves of the Springfield Public Library are suddenly empty. Marge fills the void by telling stories about historical figures, including Mozart, played by Bart: "Hello, Vienna! Are there any aficionados in the house?" A concert hall has entrances marked "FOPS" and "DANDIES." Thursday Aug. 28, 4 p.m. "The Seven-Beer Snitch" (2005) Springfield is being mocked by rival Shelbyville; Marge's answer is to commission a concert hall from architect Frank Gehry (designer of Disney Hall in Los Angeles, and one of Groening's neighbors). Flanders agrees: "We could use a new HQ for the Springfield Philharmonic. They're playing Gustav Mahler in abject squalor!" Gehry (playing himself) reads a letter from Marge, tosses it aside and then realizes the crumpled sheet is the design for the hall, exclaiming, "Frank Gehry, you're a genius!" But in 2011, Gehry told CNN that the joke has had an exasperating afterlife, as clients ask him to wad paper: "People who have seen The Simpsons believe it." Thursday Aug. 28, 11:30 p.m. "The Italian Bob" (2005) One of the lesser-known aspects of The Simpsons is the show's strong connection to the magnificent Dr. Seuss cult film The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T, a comic horror musical about piano lessons. Simpsons villain Sideshow Bob Terwilliger (voiced by Kelsey Grammer) is named for the movie's title character, and one of Mr. Burns' songs, "See My Vest," is a blend of "Be Our Guest" from the Disney Beauty and the Beast and the unbelievable "Dressing Song: Do-Mi-Do Duds" from Dr. T. In this episode, the Simpsons are in Rome, where Krusty is appearing in Leoncavallo's Pagliacci at the Coliseum (Homer, exasperated: "Ohhhhh, opera? They have that here too?"). Bob is on his usual murderous rampage. Friday Aug. 29, 8:30 p.m. "The Homer of Seville" (2007) After accidentally crashing a wake, Homer falls into an open grave. The bad news: back injury. The good news: He's now a singer, but only when lying down. Burns recruits him for a leading role in Puccini's La bohème anyway. In a locker room backstage, a shirtless Placido Domingo snaps Homer with a towel and says, "Nice set, Homer. That was a hot one." "Thanks," Homer says. "You know, of The Three Tenors, you're my second favorite. No, wait, I forgot about that other guy. Sorry, you're third." Monday Sept. 1, 3:30 p.m. "The Kid Is All Right" (2013) Last season included one of the show's finest musical moments, a celebration of Walt Disney's Depression-era output, made in the form of a couch gag (all Simpsons episodes open with the family assembling on the sofa to watch TV). "Music Ville" is based on "Music Land," a cartoon from Disney's "Silly Symphonies" series. Simpsons music editor Chris Ledesma has a fascinating account of the episode's production, complete with character sketches and the original Disney cartoon.

Question: Aussie Climate Advocate Cheers Howard's Ouster

Bill McCarg, a wealthy co-founder of Colliers International, supported former Prime Minister John Howard in the past but became a vehement anti-Howard campaigner in the Nov. 24 elections because of climate change. Howard was a climate change skeptic for most of his 11 years in power, and that's one reason why his party lost. McCarg spent $200,000 of his own money to get Howard defeated in his own district — the first sitting prime minister to lose his own seat since 1929. But McCarg lost his job, too, forced out by partners unhappy with his very vocal disgust over Howard's position on climate change.

Question: Puerto Ricans Concerned That $20 Billion Recovery Plan Is 'Not For The People'

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

César Díaz felt lucky that only a couple of leaks had sprung in his ceiling, even though Hurricane Maria tore the zinc panels off much of his roof. His real troubles began about a year after the storm, when a crew hired by Puerto Rico's housing department showed up to make the repairs. "They weren't very professional," Díaz said. "They didn't wear gloves, and they asked if I had an extra piece of wood." Within days, there were new leaks. Not only in the living room but in the bedroom, over his daughter's crib. "None of those were there before," he said, pointing to a half-dozen brown splotches in the ceiling. Díaz, a music teacher and member of the town council in the hard-hit municipality of Loiza, knew that many of his neighbors were still waiting for repairs. So he began teaching himself the basics of construction. "Puerto Rico has always been in the path of hurricanes, and it always will be. So in my opinion, a good roof is a matter of life or death," he said. "I want to be able to tell if the crews the government is sending to repair houses in my community are doing the work right." Díaz is not alone in his scrutiny as Puerto Rico's government ushers in the next phase of its reconstruction — a massive rebuilding effort funded by nearly $20 billion in grants from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. Island officials will have broad discretion to spend the money as they see fit — from repairing damaged homes and building new ones, to shoring up crumbled roads and infrastructure, to launching tourism and business development projects. But the pressure to spend the money wisely and efficiently is enormous, not least because President Trump himself has reportedly tried to hold up various sources of funding for the island after accusing its elected officials of being "inept politicians" likely to mismanage the funds. Many Puerto Ricans have denounced those attacks as unfair stereotypes. Even so, people on the island have their own concerns about the government's plans for the money, given its poor response in the immediate aftermath of the hurricane, the lack of transparency in many agencies, and the persistent perception that cronyism rules when it comes to government contracting. The island's governor, Ricardo Rosselló, seems well aware of these concerns, and said he's gone so far as to ask officials at HUD to hold his government accountable for its spending. "We have an opportunity we haven't had in two or three generations," Rosselló said during recent public remarks, "and that we may never have again if we don't make the most of it." Officials on the island see the $20 billion HUD allocation as an historic opportunity to fund public projects that the bankrupt territory could never otherwise afford. Massive budget cuts and austerity measures imposed by a federal oversight board working to dig the island out of $73 billion of debt have sliced deeply into the government's ability to provide basic services. So the HUD grants are a rare bright spot. Over the last year, the government has developed a series of broad spending plans that are in various stages of approval by the federal agency. And though disbursements were held up by the federal government shutdown, officials expect the first several hundred million dollars to begin flowing imminently. A plan "not for the people" But on an island where damage from Hurricane Maria is still visible on nearly every city block and around every bend in Puerto Rico's many winding rural roads, some on the island are questioning whether the government is fully prepared to get the money where it needs to go. They worry that in the rush to get the money flowing, many communities may be overlooked. "This money could be the answer for many communities that within an austerity crisis would not see any money coming in," said Ariadna Godreau-Aubert, executive director of Ayuda Legal Puerto Rico, a nonprofit that has been urging the government to seek more public participation as it has developed its spending plans. "But what we've seen so far is that this is a plan for developers, and not for the people." The island's government has rushed through public comment periods and not made a meaningful public outreach effort, Godreau-Aubert said. The process for proposing projects for funding is highly technical and can require large lines of credit often accessible to developers but not to groups working in local communities. And the government has only posted contract bidding documents in English on an island where just 20 percent of residents report speaking the language well. "What happens is that when people are not part of the process, they become displaced by the process," Godreau-Aubert said. Officials will use a significant chunk of the first $1.5 billion that HUD has approved to relocate families whose homes are in flood-prone or other risky areas. To advocates like Godreau-Aubert and others, that sounds like tearing communities apart. Asked about these

Question: Black Forbidden Rice With Shrimp, Peaches And Snap Peas

If you have trouble finding black rice, substitute brown, basmati or jasmine rice. Slightly underripe peaches will hold up better to the heat while cooking. If your peaches are fully ripe, saute for just a minute to a minute and a half. This recipe is adapted from Weeknights with Giada by Giada De Laurentiis (Clarkson Potter 2012).  Makes 4 to 6 servings 3 1/2 cups water 2 cups black forbidden rice 1 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil 1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp 8 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (2 1/2 cups) 3 peaches, pitted and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar 3 tablespoons honey 1 tablespoon soy sauce In a medium saucepan, bring water, rice, ginger and 2 teaspoons salt to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat, cover the pan and simmer until the rice is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and transfer to a large serving bowl. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the grapeseed oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are cooked through and opaque, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the shrimp and set aside to cool. Using paper towels, wipe the pan dry. In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the snap peas and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly soft, about 2 minutes. Add the peach slices and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer the peas and peaches to the serving bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, the remaining 1/4 cup oil, honey and soy sauce until smooth. Pour the dressing over the rice mixture. Add the shrimp and toss well. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Question: Rock 'n' Roll, Born on the Beast's Day

Music Producer and Song of the Day Editor Stephen Thompson offers some interesting observations about music on this day, 6/6/06: As expectant parents do their best to avoid -- or, in a few cases, guarantee -- a 6/6/06 birthday for their children, many musicians have opted to release new CDs on the big day. The date, which only occurs once a century, seemed like a natural for the overtly Satan-friendly likes of Deicide and Slayer. But both responded with afterthoughts: an EP for Slayer (released exclusively through Hot Topic, no less!), and two new iTunes-only tracks for Deicide, whose entire career should have been building to this moment. Instead, most albums released on 6/6/06 have little to do with the antichrist: Elvis Costello and Allen Toussaint's post-Katrina collaboration The River in Reverse, Scott Walker's impossibly long-awaited (and impossibly bizarre) The Drift, and new albums from the likes of Cheap Trick, Alexi Murdoch, Live, Juana Molina and Zero 7. Some might have trouble choosing between listening to Live's pompous bleating and signing on for an eternity in the company of the Lord of Lies and his cruel army of the night, but don't be fooled. It's a false choice, and you're allowed to pass on both. Given the symbolic significance of the date, the list of albums released today strikes a surprising balance between the darkness of Gothic Divas Presents Switchblade Symphony, Tre Lux & New Skin and new discs by the (admittedly secular) likes of The Evangelicals and Amps for Christ. So why not land somewhere in the middle? The Seattle "edu-core" band Bloodhag recently released Hell Bent for Letters, an album that looks and sounds Satanic enough, but is instead thematically devoted to celebrating the band members' favorite science-fiction writers. For those who want to dork out in the spirit of the "holiday" without having to spend the afterlife listening to Live albums in hell, here's all 73 seconds of "Orson Scott Card" (audio).

Question: Supreme Court Dances Around The F-Word With Real Potential Financial Consequences

Dirty words make it to the U.S. Supreme Court only occasionally. One of those occasions came Monday, in a case involving a clothing line named "FUCT." The issue is whether the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office acted unconstitutionally when it refused to grant trademark protection to the brand name. And, for the justices, the immediate problem was how to discuss the the F-word without actually saying it. The "FUCT" clothing line, created by designer Eric Brunetti, is mainly hoodies, loose pants, shorts and T-shirts, all with the brand name prominently displayed. Brunetti opened the line in 1990, aimed at 20-somethings, and he has been trying to get the brand trademarked ever since. "Go to eBay, and you'll see a lot of counterfeits, or go to Amazon, and you'll see lots of counterfeits," he said, noting that the knockoffs are costing him real money. If he could get his brand trademarked, he could go after the copycats and shut them down. The U.S. government Patent and Trademark Office, however, has consistently rejected his trademark application, contending that those letters, "FUCT," violate the federal statute that bars trademark protection for "immoral," "shocking," "offensive" and "scandalous" words. Brunetti's case got a boost two years ago when the Supreme Court ruled that an Asian-American band calling itself "The Slants" could not be denied trademark protection. The trademark office had turned the band down, because it deemed the name racially "disparaging," but the court said the denial amounted to unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination. Dealing with the brand name "FUCT" proved a bit more daunting in the Supreme Court chamber Monday. Deputy Solicitor General Malcolm Stewart referred to the brand name as a "profane past participle form of a well-known word of profanity and perhaps the paradigmatic word of profanity in our language." The government, he maintained, can deny trademark protection for that word. The justices pointed to a chart showing which terms had been granted trademarks by the government, and which ones had not. Most of the names on the chart — those granted and not granted — are not suitable for a general audience. Suffice to say that while "FUCT" did not win trademark approval, "FCUK" did, and so did the well-known brand "FUBAR." The word "crap" was registered in a trademarked name 70 times, but the S-word was consistently denied. That prompted Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to ask how the trademark office defines what is scandalous, shocking or offensive. And, Ginsburg inquired, do 20-year-olds generally find "FUCT" to be shocking or scandalous? Probably not, conceded the government's Stewart. But he said the term would still be shocking or offensive to a substantial segment of the population. Thus, it can be denied trademark registration, he argued. Justice Neil Gorsuch pointed to the chart, declaring that it was hard to see why certain trademarks either using or alluding to profanity were approved and others denied. Justice Samuel Alito asked what would happen when "really dirty words" were at issue. How about "racial slurs"? asked Justice Stephen Breyer, adding those are more like "swear words," as they are insults that sting and are remembered by those who are targeted. Stewart replied that because of the court's decision in the "Slants" case, most trademarks with racial slurs are now approved. But the most offensive slur, the N-word, for now is still not approved, he said. Representing "FUCT" designer Brunetti, lawyer John Sommer didn't have an easy time either. Justice Breyer had this question: Why doesn't the government have the right to say, in essence, "You can use this language in your brand name, but the government doesn't want to be associated with it by granting trademark protection?" "What I'm worried about," said Breyer, is that if a racial slur is trademarked, it will appear as a product name "on every bus where it's advertised" and on newsstands where children and others will see it. "That's not the audience Mr. Brunetti is appealing to," Sommer replied. Chief Justice John Roberts interjected, "But that may not be the only audience he reaches."  At the end of his argument, Sommer returned to the language of the statute, arguing that if "offensiveness" is the standard for turning down a trademark, "Steak 'n Shake" can't be registered either, because "a substantial portion of Americans believe that eating beef is immoral." A decision in the case is expected by summer.

Question: Where Did The Flu Go? Homebound Kids Shape A Mild Season

This past summer, public health officials sounded warnings about the dangers of an impending flu epidemic on top of the coronavirus pandemic. Yet this year's flu season has been exceptionally mild. During the 2019-2020 flu season, some 400,000 people were hospitalized for the flu, with 22,000 deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Last week — just ahead of the season's usual peak — the CDC had recorded just 165 flu-related hospitalizations since October. "Flu has been essentially nonexistent," Dr. William Schaffner, infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University, said in an interview with Weekend Edition. The mild season has benefitted from measures like masks and social distancing, he said. It helps too that, last year, a record number of people got a flu shot.  But Schaffner says there's more to it: Kids — habitual superspreaders — are staying home. "Children are generally thought of as having the distribution franchise for the influenza virus," Schaffner said. "They produce much more virus, they shed more virus for longer periods of time." But over the course of the coronavirus pandemic, as schools went virtual and children interacted less, the chances of spreading the flu narrowed.  For Schaffner, the result highlights a distinction in the nature of transmission among the respiratory viruses. "COVID can be transmitted very readily among adults — very contagious — but flu, I think, really needs children to spread it around amongst themselves and then seed, if you will, the adults in their home and their neighbors," he said. Since so many dodged the flu this season, Schaffner warns that the virus could hit people harder than normal this fall — when health professionals predict the country will get closer to normalcy. "Many of us didn't get a boost from encountering the flu virus this year, and so we haven't had a chance to build up our antibodies," he said. "All the more important to get vaccinated this fall."

Question: House Iraq Resolution Gains Republican Backers

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

For the second day, the House debated a Democratic-sponsored resolution disapproving of President Bush's plan to send additional soldiers to Iraq. Eleven Republicans gave speeches supporting the measure, joining Democrats in their opposition. An even larger number of Republicans is expected to vote with the majority later this week, but most will not give speeches to that effect. The 11 who did so today took pains to point out their overall support for President Bush — while saying they think the buildup is a mistake. MICHELE NORRIS, host:  From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Michele Norris.  ROBERT SIEGEL, host:  And I'm Robert Siegel.  Today, the House of Representatives had a new wrinkle in its debate on the president's troop increase in Iraq. Eleven Republicans gave speeches opposing the increase, joining with the Democrats who are nearly unanimous in their opposition.  An even larger number of Republicans is expected to vote with the majority later this week, but most will not give speeches to that effect. The 11 who did so today took pains to point out their overall support for President Bush while saying that they thought the buildup was a mistake.  NPR's Brian Naylor reports.  BRIAN NAYLOR: Yesterday saw a parade of military veterans come to the House floor to speak in favor of the non-binding resolution opposing the president's plan in Iraq. Today's focus was on the 11 Republicans who lined up to support the measure. Many of them were moderates who have bucked the party and the president before, like Mike Castle of Delaware and Wayne Gilchrest of Maryland.  Representative WAYNE GILCHREST (Republican, Maryland): If our young men and women who are brave enough to go into Iraq and Afghanistan, then we as members of Congress must be brave enough and informed to start a dialogue in Damascus, in Tehran, in the entire region to hasten peace. The first step is that I vote on this resolution.  NAYLOR: The Republican resolution supporters also included some conservatives who normally back the president, but who have previously questioned his Iraq policy, like Howard Coble and Walter Jones of North Carolina. Republican Ric Keller of Florida praised the president, but not the policy.  Representative RIC KELLER (Republican, Florida): Mr. Speaker, the Iraq war is the central issue of our time. We are spending two billion dollars a week, and we are losing 100 American lives a month. Under these conditions, I feel I owe my constituents my best judgment. Interjecting more young American troops into the crosshairs of an Iraqi civil war is simply not the right approach.  NAYLOR: The resolution lawmakers have been discussing this week puts the House on record in support of the troops who have served or are serving in Iraq, while opposing the president's decision to send over an additional 20,000. While there are expected to be a few dozen Republicans who vote in favor of the resolution, the majority of the House GOP is against it, and many Republicans have ripped the resolution for being toothless while at the same time arguing it sends a dangerous signal to the troops and the enemy.  Republican Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee warned a vote in favor of the resolution, in her words, gives the terrorists just what they want.  Representative MARSHA BLACKBURN (Republican, Tennessee): I think that's a question that we have to ask is, whose side are you on? Whose side are you on? Are you on the side of winning? Are you on the side of freedom? Are you on the side of allowing the terrorists to get an upper hand?  NAYLOR: That was a little too much for Democrat David Obey of Wisconsin.  Representative DAVID OBEY (Democrat, Wisconsin): We're told that if we oppose the president's intensification of the war, we are giving aid and comfort the to the enemy. Well, I, for one, am tired of those who have been consistently wrong about this war lecturing those of us who have been right from the start.  I'm tired of the manipulation of intelligence by this administration. I'm tired of the stubbornness of an administration that didn't have a clue about the Middle East realities when they got us into this mess and don't have a clue now about how to get us out.  NAYLOR: Over in the Senate, the manipulation of intelligence also came up as New York Democrat and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton cautioned President Bush against taking any military action against Iran without first getting congressional authorization. Clinton voted in favor of the 2002 resolution authorizing the use of force against Iraq, but she said today that was not a blank check for the use of force against Iran.
