Question: Obama To Deliver Speech On Economy

Sandwiched between his speech on the Afghanistan troop build-up last week and two international speeches later this week, President Obama will deliver an economic policy address Tuesday. Patience with the pace of government action is running short on Capitol Hill, and many Democrats fear the public is starting to question whether Obama feels their pain.

The new Obama budget is out, and it calls for tax increases for the rich.  Analysts say it has no chance of getting through Congress, and they're right.  The real reason?  No new money for ScuttleButton. That still doesn't prohibit you from solving this week's puzzle. Every  Monday  on this  site I put up a      vertical display  of  buttons.      Your     job is to  simply take one word      (or    concept)   per    button,  add      'em up,  and,     hopefully, you      will  arrive  at  a     famous   name  or  a familiar expression.   (And        seriously,  by familiar, I mean it's something                that      more than  one       person  on Earth would      recognize.) For          years, a    correct   answer chosen at        random would get  his  or     her    name   posted in this    column, an     incredible  honor in  itself.      Now the    stakes are   even   higher.     Thanks   to the  efforts of the    folks  at Talk of the Nation, that person also  hears their name mentioned on the Wednesday show (by me) and receives a Political Junkie t-shirt in the bargain.

But with a new puzzle up every Monday      afternoon, you   should      get your    answer   in by Monday the      latest. Here's the answer to last week's puzzle: Clinton for President '92 — The Democratic Party nominee, Bill Clinton defeated President George H.W. Bush.

Win With Chick! — Chick Hearn is the late play-by-play announcer for the Los Angeles Lakers. So, when you combine Bill + Bella + Chick, you just very well may get ... Bill Belichick.

Trust me, had the Patriots won, you wouldn't have seen a Bill Belichick button puzzle. The winner, chosen completely at random, is ... Michaela Tauscher of Prospect Park, Pa.

Question: Kendrick Lamar's 'DAMN.' Is Introspective And Unforgiving

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

Spoiler alert: DAMN. opens with Kendrick Lamar narrating his own shooting death at the hands of a blind assailant. This seems to be a tradition amongst Los Angeles rappers: Lamar's most obvious predecessor, Ice Cube, rapped about dying at least three times on his first two albums. The shared message from both artists is that violent ends can arrive unexpectedly, especially if you're young, black and male. It's no coincidence that Lamar decided to release DAMN. on Good Friday, a day meant to mark the death of the righteous at the hands of tyrants. Lamar isn't a Christian rapper in the conventional sense — his songs aren't in explicit exaltation of His glory — and though DAMN. is redolent with Biblical references, the temperament is decidedly Old Testament, filled with cold wrath and righteous punishments owing to the wages of sin and the blood of innocents. The tone on DAMN. is a stark contrast to the funky exuberance on Lamar's much-lauded To Pimp a Butterfly from 2015: There, he seemed to revel in a torrent of creative intensity that some found exhilarating, others indulgent. If that album was like billiard balls scattering after the break, then DAMN. wraps its focus inward, tight and layered, like a bundle of rubber bands. Its 14 songs, all titled with brief concepts such as "FEEL.", "LOYALTY.", and "DNA.", explore dualities within both the soul and American society. In some cases, the fractures are made obvious between songs — "LUST." and "LOVE." or "PRIDE." and "HUMBLE.," for example — but even within a track, Lamar is constantly exploring conflicts and contradictions. On "DNA.," the album's first fully fleshed-out song, he raps back-to-back: "I got millions, I got riches, buildin' in my DNA / I got dark, I got evil, that rot inside my DNA." Likewise, on the nearly eight-minute marathon "FEAR.," he invites us into his anxious mindset, where there's a thin line between confidence and venality, and any hint of success also carries with it the threat of loss. This introspection is also reflected in the mostly somber production, which departs from the meaty P-Funk influences of Butterfly in favor of more minimalist moods. At times, there's perhaps too little there; I've had the album on nonstop since the minute it came out and I still can't remember what "GOD." or "LOYALTY." sound like. But in other places, especially on "FEAR." and "PRIDE.", the soulful spareness works well with the song's themes and Lamar's understated performance. To put it a different way, Butterfly felt very music-forward, whereas DAMN. is built out of bars. On the pre-album single "The Heart Part 4," he boldly proclaimed himself to be this era's "greatest rapper alive," and DAMN. aims to secure his hold on that title belt. Lamar's wordplay has always been intricate, but he's finding new ways to push its limits: The way he super-stacks rhyming couplets rivals Eminem in his prime, while his constant modulation of voice and pacing allows him to play different characters within a single song. The stunning closer, "DUCKWORTH,.," also burnishes his reputation as one of hip-hop's most vivid storytellers, as he tells the supposedly true tale of how his label boss, Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith, once came close to killing Lamar's own father 20 years ago. Perhaps nothing suggests his position atop hip-hop's leaderboard more than the fact that, almost as soon as DAMN. came out, there was an internet-fueled rumor that since he "died" on Good Friday, it followed that he'd be resurrected on Easter Sunday via a surprise second album. (That's less outlandish a thought than it would have been a year ago, before Frank Ocean dropped Endless and Blonde on consecutive days and Future went No. 1 with two albums released a week apart — but Easter came and went with no follow-up LP.) The collective desire, if not greed, for another full-length LP right after DAMN. captures how much Lamar has electrified the music community. There's a real yearning for artists of his stature to speak truth to power, especially at a time when the powerful seem to brazenly revel in untruths. There's a danger in putting too much weight on any entertainer to serve as a proxy for collective action. Indeed, Lamar's own fans sometimes feel moved to keep him in check — most recently in response to "HUMBLE.," in which he rolls out a lazy cliché about wanting women to be less "Photoshop." But though he can be preachy at times, he doesn't suggest he's above reproach. Rather, his songs constantly offer him up as a sacrifice to a vengeful God: never an innocent lamb, always a conflicted sinner. That's the feeling his work asks us to confront within ourselves. He's not here to provide relief or distraction. His anxieties and unease around his own foibles are meant to mirror our own — and likewise, his struggles towards salvation and redemption are lead-by-example exhortations for us to do the same work, lest we risk perishing in a damnation of our own making.

Myanmar has been slowly moving towards this moment since 2010, when the longtime military dictatorship began loosening its control over the country. Here & Now’s Peter O’Dowd talks with Christian Caryl, a contributing editor at Foreign Policy, about the run-up to the election, and one of its frontrunners, opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

Question: Environmentalists Fuming Over Salazar's New Post

President-elect Obama's apparent pick to head the Department of the Interior has angered environmentalists who supported him during the election.             Citing anonymous sources, media outlets are reporting that Obama is close to announcing that Colorado Sen. Ken Salazar will be his nominee for Interior secretary.  Salazar is a rancher and considered a moderate Democrat. He is rarely seen without his trademark cowboy boots and hat. In public settings a favorite topic is economic development for rural America. Environmentalists were hoping instead for a loyal ally of the movement such as Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) or Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA).             Last week, more than 150 environmental groups signed a letter to Obama specifically backing Grijalva.             "We've seen his record — that's very strong in regard to public lands and endangered species," said Oregon Wild spokesman Sean Stevens. "And I don't think we have the same sort of confidence in Ken Salazar. Hopefully we can grow to have that confidence." Adds Kieran Suckling of the Tucson-based Center for Biological Diversity:  "Ken Salazar is very closely tied to ranching and mining and very traditional, old-time, Western, extraction industries. We were promised that an Obama presidency would bring change."  Among those cheering the apparent Salazar nomination are the mining and agriculture industries, which generally backed Republican John McCain for president.             "I first heard it Monday and was excited because I have worked with him when I used to live in Colorado," said Laura Skaer, executive director of the Northwest Mining Association. "I know that he's fair and balanced." The secretary of the Interior, perhaps more than any other Cabinet post, affects the lives of rural Americans, many of whom depend on natural resource development for their living.  "So the people I represent in rural communities are going to want somebody as secretary of the Interior that understands rural issues," said Dan Keppen, executive director of the Family Farm Alliance.             "It looks like many of the folks that might be opposing or upset about Sen. Salazar's appointment are activist groups from urban areas," said Keppen.

The latest book by Israeli author Amos Oz is A Tale Of Love And Darkness, a memoir of growing up in Jerusalem in the turbulent 1940s and '50s, when a war-torn Israel was achieving statehood. Oz's home life was as intense as the world outside.  The book follows Oz through his mother's suicide to a growing interest in politics and writing. Along the way, he chooses a new name for himself -- Oz, the Hebrew word for strength -- over his family's name, Klausner. Oz has written many works of fiction and non-fiction, including  A Perfect Peace and To Know a Woman. He is a professor of literature at Israel's Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. He has been honored with the French Prix Femina and the 1992 Frankfurt Peace Prize. from the First Chapter of 'A Tale Of Love And Darkness': I was born and bred in a tiny, low-ceilinged ground-floor apartment. My parents slept on a sofa bed that filled their room almost from wall to wall when it was opened up each evening. Early every morning they used to shut away this bed deep into itself, hide the bedclothes in the chest underneath, turn the mattress over, press it all tight shut, and conceal the whole under a light gray cover, then scatter a few embroidered oriental cushions on top, so that all evidence of their night's sleep disappeared. In this way their bedroom also served as study, library, dining room, and living room. Opposite this room was my little green room, half taken up with a big-bellied wardrobe. A narrow, low passage, dark and slightly curved, like an escape tunnel from a prison, linked the little kitchenette and toilet to these two small rooms. A lightbulb imprisoned in an iron cage cast a gloomy half-light on this passage even during the daytime. At the front both rooms had just a single window, guarded by metal blinds, squinting to catch a glimpse of the view to the east but seeing only a dusty cypress tree and a low wall of roughly dressed stones. Through a tiny opening high up in their back walls the kitchenette and toilet peered out into a little prison yard surrounded by high walls and paved with concrete, where a pale geranium planted in a rusty olive can was gradually dying for want of a single ray of sunlight. On the sills of these tiny openings we always kept jars of pickles and a stubborn cactus in a cracked vase that served as a flowerpot. It was actually a basement apartment, as the ground floor of the building had been hollowed out of the rocky hillside. This hill was our next-door neighbor, a heavy, introverted, silent neighbor, an old, sad hill with the regular habits of a bachelor, a drowsy, still wintry hill, which never scraped the furniture or entertained guests, never made a noise or disturbed us, but through the walls there seeped constantly toward us, like a faint yet persistent musty smell, the cold, dark silence and dampness of this melancholy neighbor. Consequently through the summer there was always a hint of winter in our home. Visitors would say: It's always so pleasant here in a heat wave, so cool and fresh, really chilly, but how do you manage in the winter? Don't the walls let in the damp? Don't you find it depressing? Books filled our home. My father could read sixteen or seventeen languages and could speak eleven (all with a Russian accent). My mother spoke four or five languages and read seven or eight. They conversed in Russian or Polish when they did not want me to understand. (Which was most of the time. When my mother referred to a stallion in Hebrew in my hearing, my father rebuked her furiously in Russian: Shto s toboi?! Vidish malchik ryadom s nami!-What's the matter with you? You can see the boy's right here!) Out of cultural considerations they mostly read books in German or English, and presumably they dreamed in Yiddish. But the only language they taught me was Hebrew. Maybe they feared that a knowledge of languages would expose me too to the blandishments of Europe, that wonderful, murderous continent. On my parents' scale of values, the more Western something was, the more cultured it was considered. For all that Tolstoy and Dostoevsky were dear to their Russian souls, I suspect that Germany-despite Hitler-seemed to them more cultured than Russia or Poland, and France more so than Germany. England stood even higher on their scale than France. As for America, there they were not so sure: after all, it was a country where people shot at Indians, held up mail trains, chased gold, and hunted girls. Europe for them was a forbidden promised land, a yearned-for landscape of belfries and squares paved with ancient flagstones, of trams and bridges and church spires, remote villages, spa towns, forests, and snow-covered meadows. Words like "cottage," "meadow," or "goose girl" excited and seduced me all through my childhood. They had the sensual aroma of a genuine, cozy world, far from the dusty tin roofs, the urban wasteland of scrap iron and thistles, the parched hillsides of our Jerusalem suffocating under the weight

In the aftermath of catastrophic events such as a mass shooting or natural disaster, politicians often offer up their thoughts and prayers to victims. Critics then hit back, condemning the phrase as meaningless — with no real value or impact. Now a new study from economists finds that prayers might have an actual dollar value, and they may also have real consequences for charitable giving in the wake of catastrophe, but not in the way you might think.

Question: From A Concert Recorded

represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth E.g. ['Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR', 'All pregnant women should get tested for gestational diabetes after 24 weeks of pregnancy, a federal panel says, to reduce the risk of dangerous complications for both mother and child. This isn\'t one of those controversial bits from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, like its recommendation that women under age 50 not get mammograms. Most obstetricians are already screening their patients for gestational diabetes. "It\'s something that\'s widely accepted," says Dr. Virginia Moyer, chair of the USPTF and vice president for maintenance of certification and quality for the American Board of Pediatrics. "But that doesn\'t mean it\'s not important." As recently as 2008, the task force said there wasn\'t enough evidence to recommend across the board screening for gestational diabetes. But now there\'s more evidence, Moyer says, as well as growing concern that the number of women who get gestational diabetes is rising. More women are overweight or obese, and more women are having babies after age 25. Both increase the risk. About 240,000 of the 4 million women who give birth each year, or about 7 percent, develop gestational diabetes. The universal screening recommendation was published Monday in Annals of Internal Medicine. And with gestational diabetes, both mother and child are at risk. "You always always have two patients with a pregnant woman," Moyer tells Shots. "We looked at both of them together." Babies born to women who have gestational diabetes tend to be bigger, and that increases their risk of injury at birth such as a broken collarbone or dislocated shoulder. Babies whose mother had gestational diabetes are more likely to grow up to be obese, and more likely to have diabetes themselves. For women, having gestational diabetes increases the risk of preeclampsia, a potentially deadly spike in blood pressure. It also increases the odds that a woman will have a cesarean section. "Collectively, all these things matter," Moyer says. "If you screen for gestational diabetes there\'s an opportunity to treat for it and minimize it." Since most women with gestational diabetes don\'t have symptoms, a glucose tolerance test is used to screen for it. Keeping blood sugar under control during pregnancy can reduce these risks, and most women can do that by monitoring the blood sugar and watching what they eat. Only rarely do they need to use diabetes drugs or insulin. Gestational diabetes usually goes away once a baby is born, but it can increase a woman\'s risk of diabetes not associated with pregnancy later on.'] == ['Represent this text to find its subtitle about the same news but with slightly more depth', 'Doctors Recommend Universal Diabetes Testing For Pregnant Women']

Question: Report: Humans 'Very Likely' Cause of Climate Change

An international team of climate scientists prepares to release its global warming report. The report is expected to assert that it's "very likely" humans have caused warming leading to stronger hurricanes and melting glaciers. Guest: Kevin Trenberth, senior scientist and head of the Climate Analysis Section  for the National Center for Atmospheric Research IRA FLATOW, host:  This is TALK OF THE NATION: SCIENCE FRIDAY. I'm Ira Flatow.  After a week of back-to-back meetings to finalize their findings, scientists from around the world released a much-anticipated report on climate change this morning. The scientists belonged to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the report is considered the gold standard on the state of scientific knowledge on climate change, and what they say is sure to answer critics of global-warming theory.  They say in this report that they are about 90 percent certain that human activity - in particular, our burning of fossil fuels - is the driving factor in the Earth's warming over the past 50 years. The report also says that for the foreseeable future the course has been set. Even aggressive changes we make now to our fossil-fuel consumption won't prevent future warming, but it could slow the pace of change.  So we'll start this hour by talking with one of the report's authors about warming planets and what these warmer temperatures will mean for our planet. If you'd like to talk about the new climate-change report, give us a call. Our number 1-800-989-8255, 1-800-989-TALK. And as always, you can surf over to our Web site at sciencefriday.com.  Kevin Trenberth is a senior scientist and head of the Climate Analysis Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. That's NCAR. He's also the lead author on one of the chapter's of the new IPCC report, and he joins us now by phone from Paris, where he's been in meetings all week. Good evening, and welcome back to the program, Dr. Trenberth.  Dr. KEVIN TRENBERTH (Senior Scientist, Climate Analysis Section, National Center for Atmospheric Research): I guess it's good afternoon to you, Ira, but here it is indeed evening.  FLATOW: How difficult has it been to arrive at this report?  (Soundbite of laughter)  Dr. TRENBERTH: You know, the rules of the United Nations for this is to have a unanimous consensus, and there are many delegates who I might say are a little long-winded and there are a number of delegations who have particular political agendas. You know, the way this is supposed to work is that we have worked hard on producing the report over the last three years.  There's - it'll be, I don't know, close to a 900-page report, something like that, and then there is this policy for summary - a policymaker summary that we've been producing over the last few days, where the policymakers - the way I think of it is that they help create the language that we use to communicate the report, while the experts determine what goes into the report.  And on Wednesday night - it's hard to remember which day it is now - we got into a mode where we were substantially behind in terms of the amount of text we had to deal with versus the time available, and so we had very brief breaks. There was no coffee breaks, worked through the dinner hour and closed at 10:40 in the evening. Then last night - I'm sorry, 12:20 was when we closed on…  FLATOW: We won't hold you to any of these things in your state of drowsiness.  (Soundbite of laughter)  FLATOW: Tell us about what's the difference between this report and the last report and how much you've increased your confidence.  Dr. TRENBERTH: Well, there's certainly been a lot of literature that's been published, and that's the main basis for the IPCC assessment. The - I'm sorry, it's a little disconcerting. I've got an echo in my ear, here. I wonder if someone can turn that off.  FLATOW: We'll try to deal with that.  Dr. TRENBERTH: And what has happened is that there is a lot more observations. One of the highlight statements in the report from my standpoint is that the warming of climate is unequivocal, and that really comes from multiple lines of evidence and extensive evidence within each line.  And since the last report, which was published in 2001, we've had six new years of data, and Mother Nature keeps telling us that the planet is warming. Those six years are among the seven warmest on record, for instance. And the multiple lines of evidence referred to not just changes over land but also the sea temperatures, the so-called satellite temperatures, which is the temperatures above the surface of the Earth.  The ocean temperatures are increasing. That gives rise to expansion of the ocean and rising sea level. Sea ice is melting, especially in the Arctic. The glaciers are melting. That contributes also to sea-level rise, and so we can then measure the sea-level rise - and that's gone up about an inch and a half in the last 12 years. The snow extent has decreased in the N

Question: Not My Job: Wing-Suit Explorer Joby Ogwyn Gets Quizzed On Wings (The Band)

In May, the Discovery Channel will be broadcasting live as Joby Ogwyn climbs to the summit of Mount Everest, and then jumps off it, descending 10,000 feet in a wing suit. As this is clearly the last chance we have to talk to him while he's still alive, we've invited him to play a game called "Band on the Run." Three questions about Wings, Paul McCartney's lesser-known band. PETER SAGAL, HOST:  And now the game where we take people who do amazing things and ask them do something nobody will ever remember. In May, the Discovery Channel will be broadcasting live as climber Joby Ogwyn climbs to the summit of Mount Everest and then jumps off it, descending 10,000 feet at least in a wing-suit. As this is clearly the last chance we have to talk to him while he's still alive, Joby Ogwyn, welcome to WAIT WAIT...DON'T TELL ME! (APPLAUSE) SAGAL: So tell us exactly what you're going to do. JOBY OGWYN: Well, the basic plan is to climb to the top of the world and then change into my wing-suit and jump off the top and fly down and land at base camp. SAGAL: Right, and how far is that in terms of vertical distance? OGWYN: It's about 11,000 vertical feet. SAGAL: Eleven-thousand vertical feet. But it's not straight down, of course. OGWYN: No, it's not. It's definitely covering some - a few miles of distance, as well. SAGAL: Right, and you've climbed Mount Everest before, right? OGWYN: I have. I've climbed it. I've done three expeditions to Everest. I got to the top twice. SAGAL: But I mean, what happened? Did you get up there and, like, well, this is great, I made it to the summit of Mount Everest. Man, I'm really frustrated I have to walk down? If only there were a quicker way. (LAUGHTER) SAGAL: Now the wing-suit, I'm trying to remember. I think I saw one of these in a James Bond movie. This is a suit that makes you look vaguely like a high-tech flying squirrel, right? OGWYN: It can. There's a lot of different kinds of suits, especially now. They've come up with a lot of things. I think if you watch my Everest project, I'll look more like a missile or a rocket than a flying squirrel. But it works really good either way. SAGAL: You look like a missile? Missiles tend to go straight down. Am I not...? (LAUGHTER) SAGAL: We had Nik Wallenda on the show, right before he crossed the Grand Canyon on a tightrope. And when he did that, he had a sort of a mantra. He's a religious man, so he thanked Jesus Christ, thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus. Do you have anything like that? Because I was actually - if I had to do something like that, I would have a variation on Nik Wallenda's thing. I would just be like Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ. (LAUGHTER) SAGAL: Is there something you're going to be saying to yourself as you leap off Mount Everest? OGWYN: I have a feeling I'll be talking to myself. Whether it actually comes out, you know, of my mouth, I'm not sure, but something pretty close to what Nick was saying, which is, you know, God give me a little help here if you can. SAGAL: Right. I think - I mean, nothing against anybody's religious faith, but I think God's attitude would be look, you just climbed up that mountain and jumped off. You are on your own, my friend. (LAUGHTER) SAGAL: Free will. PAULA POUNDSTONE: I'm an atheist, but I can imagine that God would say: Did I give you wings? (LAUGHTER) (APPLAUSE) POUNDSTONE: Yeah, I'll help a bird. You go ahead and flap. (LAUGHTER) SAGAL: So this wing-suit, I mean I know what a parachute does, obviously, it slows you down. The wing-suit allows you to maneuver. But you're still falling at a pretty rapid clip, right? OGWYN: Sure, you're definitely going down. I mean, eventually you are going to have to land. But now the technology has evolved to the point where you really are flying out further than you are falling, and your glide ratio is much bigger. So you really, you really are Superman when you're up there like that. CHARLIE PIERCE: Wow. SAGAL: That sounds pretty cool. POUNDSTONE: Joby, by the way, you're not Superman when you're up there. (LAUGHTER) POUNDSTONE: You know, you said you do a lot of work at the higher altitudes, and that can wreak havoc with the brain, can't it, Joby? You're never Superman. That's a made-up character, OK? You're an adventurous, strong man with a suit. (LAUGHTER) POUNDSTONE: Don't let anybody shoot at you, Joby. Don't do it. SAGAL: Can you land in the wing-suit, or do you need a parachute to land? OGWYN: Well, she's probably right. I'm probably more like Batman than Superman. (LAUGHTER) OGWYN: You know, I do need the equipment. SAGAL: Yeah. So Joby Ogwyn, we have asked you here to play a game we're calling... CARL KASELL: Band on the Run. SAGAL: You have wings, but what do you know about Wings? Wings, of course is the most famous and important band Paul McCartney was ever in. (LAUGHTER) SAGAL: We're going to ask you three questions about the band Wings. Iff you get two right, you'll win our prize for one of our listeners, Carl's voice on their voicemail. Carl wh

Question: Is There A Crisis At The Southern Border?

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

This week, the Customs and Border Protection commissioner said immigration enforcement systems at the border are “at the breaking point,” according to The Washington Post. Here’s more:  Kevin McAleenan, the commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said that for the first time in more than a decade, his agency is “reluctantly” performing direct releases of migrants, meaning they are not turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, they are not detained, they are not given ankle bracelets to track their movements and they are allowed to leave with just a notice to appear in court at a later date. He said that this is a “negative outcome” but that it is “the only current option we have” because of overcrowding at detention facilities as Central Americans stream to the border knowing they will be able to gain entry with asylum claims.  On Friday morning, President Donald Trump threatened to close the southern border via tweet. His comment started “if Mexico doesn’t immediately stop ALL illegal immigration coming into the United States throug our Southern Border, I will be CLOSING…..” And then finished:
….the Border, or large sections of the Border, next week. This would be so easy for Mexico to do, but they just take our money and “talk.” Besides, we lose so much money with them, especially when you add in drug trafficking etc.), that the Border closing would be a good thing! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 29, 2019   What are the chances of that happening? And while migrants continue to come over the border, how are they treated once they arrive? Listen to reporter Aura Bogado describe hielaras, the freezing rooms in which many migrants are forced to stay in while they are being processed.  She says some migrant children are forced into perrera, which include chain-linked fences and small mattresses.

That’s the sharpest decline over that time period since 1992. While some experts point to the loss as the inevitable burst of the Chinese economic bubble, officials in China suspect foreign manipulation.

On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee approved a subpoena for the full, unredacted report into the 2016 election. “The Constitution charges Congress with holding the president accountable for alleged official misconduct,” Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-NY, said in his opening remarks. “That job requires us to evaluate the evidence for ourselves — not the attorney general’s summary, not a substantially redacted synopsis, but the full report and the underlying evidence.” The Judiciary Committee also approved subpoenas for former White House counsel Don McGahn, former Trump adviser and White House strategist Steve Bannon, former White House communications director Hope Hicks, former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and former White House deputy counsel Ann Donaldson. Meanwhile, House Democrats have asked the IRS to release six years of President Trump’s personal and business tax returns. When will the Mueller report be released? And what might we learn from these subpoenaed individuals? Amid a migrant crisis, President Trump backed off his threat to close the border between the U.S. and Mexico. “We’re going to give them a one-year warning, and if the drugs don’t stop or largely stop, we’re going to put tariffs on Mexico and products, particularly cars. And if that doesn’t stop the drugs, we close the border,” he said in a press conference on Thursday. We spoke with El Paso mayor Dee Margo earlier this week about the crisis at the southern border. He told us closing the border would “be an economic crippler back and forth. About 50,000 employees cross over daily from Mexico to El Paso.” Julián Aguilar of The Texas Tribune also weighed in on the ramifications. He said in 2018, El Paso did $78 billion worth of trade across border — but closing it wouldn’t just affect economics. “This is gonna hit the whole social fabric of the border. Folks in my family still live in Juarez and come back across,” he told us. What can be done to mitigate the migrant crisis? We’ll also get into the administration’s efforts to replace the Affordable Care Act, the latest on the White House security clearance scandal, allegations against Joe Biden, newly-elected Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot and much more.

Question: Federal Court Throws Out Ohio's Congressional Map

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

A federal court has ruled that Ohio's congressional map is an "unconstitutional partisan gerrymander" and must be redrawn by the 2020 election. In the ruling Friday, a three-judge panel from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio argues that the map was intentionally drawn "to disadvantage Democratic voters and entrench Republican representatives in power." The court argues the map violates voters' constitutional right to choose their representatives and exceeds the state's powers under Article I of the Constitution. "Accordingly, we declare Ohio's 2012 map an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander, enjoin its use in the 2020 election, and order the enactment of a constitutionally viable replacement," the judges wrote in their decision. The decision is likely to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which is currently deliberating challenges to congressional maps from Maryland and North Carolina. The League of Women Voters, ACLU and other voting rights groups sued Ohio last year, saying Republicans redrew the state's congressional map in 2011 with intention of maintaining their 3-to-1 advantage. Since the map came into effect in 2012, Ohio's congressional delegation has been locked in at 12 Republicans and four Democrats. The judges agreed with voting rights groups in their argument that Ohio's districts were "intended to burden Plaintiffs' constitutional rights, had that effect, and the effect is not explained by other legitimate justifications." Ohio's current map was drawn in 2011 by Republican state lawmakers, with input from party consultants in a Columbus hotel room. Democrats argue they were shut out of the process completely. "These national Republicans generated some of the key strategic ideas for the map, maximizing its likely pro-Republican performance, and had the authority to approve changes to the map before their Ohio counterparts implemented them," the judges wrote. "Throughout the process, the Ohio and national map drawers made decisions based on their likely partisan effects." The judges also ruled that Ohio's map has proven to advantage Republicans in every election. The decision says experts "demonstrated that levels of voter support for Democrats can and have changed, but the map's partisan output remains stubbornly undisturbed." A ballot issue overwhelmingly passed in May 2018 to place new requirements on Ohio's map-drawing process, but the new map wouldn't be created until after the 2020 census. No congressional election would be affected until 2022. Under the amendment, a congressional map that lasts 10 years must win 50 percent support from the state's minority party. If it fails to do so, the map would be drawn instead by a bipartisan commission. If that map doesn't get enough support, a 10-year map could then pass with just one-third of the minority party's support, or a four-year map could be passed without minority support but with stricter rules. The ruling against Ohio comes just over one week after a federal court in Michigan struck down that map as unconstitutional. The judges said Republicans drew the map to unfairly disadvantage Democrats and that the state must redraw its district lines by Aug. 1. You can view the complete ruling below or at this link.

Question: Tech Week: 'Leaky' Angry Birds And Digital Invades Cinemas

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

After a week of earnings reports and inflammatory comments from a Silicon Valley mogul, we have finally made it through January. If you missed the entire month of All Tech conversations (doubtful!), you can check out our previous weeks in review here, here and here. And if you want to be part of them, scroll down and add your thoughts to our comment section. ICYMI Hardware for the digital world: This week on air, we explored the next wave of digital entertainment. Laura Sydell looked at how small independent cinemas without digital projectors are struggling to transition. Elise Hu took us into a Taiwanese news animation studio, which produces about 50 3-D news reenactments a day. The blog covered some fun innovations: a phone that transmits smells instead of sounds and a boarding pass that's much more useful and pleasant to look at than the ones airlines use now. Tech and business: New York might soon be the first state to write regulations for Bitcoin, and WNYC's Ilya Marritz points out that the efforts are boosted by Facebook's former foes. In Arizona, Peter O'Dowd reports that an Intel factory, once touted by President Obama as an example of bringing manufacturing jobs to America, still hasn't opened its doors. On the federal level, Elise reports that two lawmakers are crafting a bill that would, theoretically, help the government manage its technology projects more efficiently (and less like HealthCare.gov). The Big Conversation No more Holocaust comparisons, OK? In a letter to the editor of The Wall Street Journal, Silicon Valley venture capitalist Tom Perkins compared class tensions in the Bay Area to Kristallnacht, a destructive Nazi rampage that sent 30,000 Jews to concentration camps. He later apologized for using that word but said he stood by the sentiment that the richest 1 percent are under attack, which the San Francisco Chronicle, as well as many other news organizations, vehemently disagreed with. This is the latest in a slew of events about San Francisco's wealth disparity. Because the NSA is never too far from our hearts: The Obama administration reached an agreement with tech companies allowing them to disclose some vague information about the number of user data requests they get from the government, including the NSA. It was an improvement over the current information blackout, but many privacy advocates still aren't too pleased. The NSA was also reported to be using "leaky" smartphone apps, like Google Maps and Angry Birds, to collect user information, and U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper obliquely referred to journalists as leaker Edward Snowden's "accomplices." Rumor has it that Microsoft is inching closer to choosing Satya Nadella as its next CEO and considering replacing Bill Gates as chairman. Nadella currently runs the company's cloud services, among other things. Bloomberg reports that if Gates leaves as chairman, the company might choose someone outside the company to replace him. All Tech will be covering those updates as they come in. Curiosities Businessweek: Facebook Turns 10: The Mark Zuckerberg Interview A few days shy of Facebook's 10th birthday, the site's prodigal co-founder shares some insight into his life. Fun fact: He plans to write a thank-you note every day this year. The Wall Street Journal: SocialRadar Balances Privacy With New Social Geolocation App SocialRadar integrates your data from various social networks, which could be cool in a non-NSA password-hacking world. But the story's first sentence gives us the heebie-jeebies: "A guy walks into a bar and knows the name of the attractive woman across the room before he even says 'hello.'

A landmark series of 22 reports examining California's educational system was released this week. The two year, $3 million project, called "Getting Down to Facts," was commissioned by the governor, legislative leaders and the state education department. Many teachers and principals say the reports confirm what they've known all along: Schools with poor and minority students need more money. Educators at one struggling middle school in San Diego say that if it was up to them, they would spend all their money hiring more teachers to meet the needs of their diverse student population.

Question: Are Spiritual Encounters All In Your Head?

According to polls, there's a 50-50 chance you have had at least one spiritual experience — an overpowering feeling that you've touched God, or another dimension of reality.  So, have you ever wondered whether those encounters actually happened — or whether they were all in your head? Scientists say the answer might be both.  If you're looking for evidence that religion is in your head, you need look no further than Jeff Schimmel. The 49-year-old Los Angeles writer was raised in a Conservative Jewish home. But he never bought into God — until after he was touched by a being outside of himself. "Yeah," Schimmel says, "I was touched by a surgeon."  About a decade ago, Schimmel had a benign tumor removed from his left temporal lobe. The surgery was a snap. But soon after that — unknown to him — he began to suffer mini-seizures. He'd hear conversations in his head. Sometimes the people around him would look slightly unreal, as if they were animated.  Then came the visions. He remembers twice, lying in bed, he looked up at the ceiling and saw a swirl of blue and gold and green colors that gradually settled into a shape. He couldn't figure out what it was.  "And then, like a flash, it dawned on me: 'This is the Virgin Mary!' " he says. "And you know, it's funny. I laughed about it, because why would the Virgin Mary appear to me, a Jewish guy, lying in bed looking at the ceiling?  She could do much better."  Schimmel became fascinated with spirituality. He became more compassionate, less ambitious. And he wondered: Could his new outlook have to do with his brain? The next visit to his neurologist, he asked to see his most recent MRI.  "My left temporal lobe looked completely different from the way it did before the surgery," he says.  Gradually, it had become smaller, a different shape, covered with scar tissue. Those changes had sparked electrical firings in his brain. Schimmel's doctor told him he had developed temporal lobe epilepsy — a disease that has fascinated doctors for centuries.  Did Paul Hear Jesus, Or Was It Hallucination? Some 2,500 years ago, notes Orrin Devinsky, who directs the epilepsy center at New York University, Hippocrates wrote one of the very first texts we have on epilepsy  — and he named it "On the Sacred Disease."  The disease was considered sacred because the ancients thought that sufferers were possessed by demons, or blessed with divine messages and visions. Devinsky says neurologists suspect some of the religious giants were epileptics themselves. Did Paul hear Jesus on the road to Damascus, or was he experiencing an auditory hallucination? What about Joseph Smith and the two angels? Muhammad? Joan of Arc? And what about Moses and that burning bush?  "Assuming for now a more rational scientific view, he was having a visual hallucination and he heard God's voice," Devinsky observes.  It could have been God; it could have been a seizure. But one thing Devinsky does believe is "whatever happened back there in Sinai, Moses' experience was mediated by his temporal lobe."  The temporal lobes run along the sides of the brain, and deep within them is something called the limbic system. This system handles not just sound, smell and some vision but also memory and emotion.  When people have a seizure in the temporal lobe, it's as if the normal emotions have an exclamation point after them, because so many nerve cells are firing in rhythm. People may hear snatches of music — drawn from their memory bank — and in rare cases, interpret it as music from heavenly spheres. They may see a glimpse of light and think it's an angel.  "These patients give us clues as to what parts of the human brain are involved when all of us have a numinous experience," says Jeffrey Saver, a neurologist at UCLA.  Saver says when people with no brain dysfunction have numinous, or spiritual, experiences, it's the same limbic system being activated — but with the volume turned down.  The Quest For The 'Sensed Presence' This made me wonder: If God uses the temporal lobe, can neurologists make God come and go at will? Well, they can make ecstatic seizures go away with surgery or medication. But what about summoning God? Could a scientist manufacture a spiritual experience by manipulating my temporal lobes?  That question led me to Michael Persinger's laboratory in Sudbury, Ontario. It's 6:30 on a Saturday evening, and Persinger, a neuroscientist at Laurentian University, has pasted eight electrodes on my scalp. He eases a modified motorcycle helmet with its own sensors onto my head. He calls it the "God helmet."  The helmet is supposed to stimulate my right temporal lobe with weak magnetic fields, and create the illusion of God in my head. Well, not God exactly, but a sensed presence, a feeling that another being is in the room.  When the helmet is in place, Persinger covers my eyes with goggles stuffed with napkins. I sink deeper into the threadbare, overstuffed chair, feeling like a teenager hanging out in someone's base

Speaking of heat, next month (April 12th) we're heading to Tucson to broadcast in front of a live audience. We're warming up a couple of ideas; but let's face it, we are, in fact, inside the Beltway, and there's going to be stuff we'll miss. If you're from Tucson, or around thereabouts, tell us what you love about the area that an outsider wouldn't know: local mystery writer, band, comedy troupe -- anything that makes your brain prickle or your mouth water. So far, I've found a lot to love, and boy, am I looking forward to that dry, dry heat. So please, help me, I'm from Massachusetts for goodness' sake (the Big Dig is my idea of a "grand" canyon).

Question: A Word About The Name Of Washington's Football Team

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

We have not changed it significantly, but we have added to our guidance on the name of Washington's NFL team. Here's an update: NPR News does not plan to prohibit the use of the full team name. The team's name is the name and our job is to report on the world as it is, not to take a position or become part of the story. But, our policy on potentially offensive language states that "as a responsible broadcaster, NPR has always set a high bar on use of language that may be offensive to our audience. Use of such language on the air [and online] has been strictly limited to situations where it is absolutely integral to the meaning and spirit of the story being told." That guidance should be kept in mind. Here's how:  As a network, we do not have much occasion to report on this club. When we do, we can usually refer to it simply as "Washington" or "the team" once we've established that we're talking about the city's NFL franchise. This line, for example, was on our air after the firing of Washington's coach: "Last year the Redskins made the playoffs, this year they were only 3-13, Mike Shanahan was held to account." We could have said: "Last year Washington made the playoffs, this year the team was only 3-13, Mike Shanahan was held to account." Headlines about the team (on the few stories we might post about the club that aren't about the name controversy) can be a difficult issue. "Seahawks Crush Redskins" can be changed to "Seattle Crushes Washington." But "Giants Crush Redskins" can't become "New York Crushes Washington" because a reader wouldn't know if we're referring to the Giants or the Jets.  Again, we are not prohibiting the use of the full team name. At times, it will have to be used – particularly when reporting about the controversy. At times, it may sound awkward to refer to the club as "Washington" or "the team." Clarity in our reporting is vital. In some cases, achieving that clarity will require using the team's name (for instance, to distinguish the club from Washington's other sports teams). Guests will surely use the word Redskins during interviews. But we can also be sensitive, avoid overuse of the word and use alternatives – as we would with other potentially offensive language.

Carl reads three quotes from the week's news: Is This Pledge a Lemon; Out With the Old, In With the Old; and Time Is on Their Side.

Question: Hop Along On World Cafe

I think one of the best things you can say about an artist is that you hear a song and you know it's them. That is true in spades for the band Hop Along, thanks in large part to the unique voice of lead singer Frances Quinlan, both in the way it sounds and what she says with it. Frances writes poetry that tumbles out in metered space, like if you turned the written formatting of an E.E. Cummings poem into sound. And even though the four-piece is often labeled indie rock, that term is way too bland to describe Hop Along. The band's music is squiggly and side-angled in ways that shouldn't necessarily work, but definitely does. Frances started putting out music in 2005 with a solo project called Hop Along, Queen Ansleis. A few years later, her older brother Mark Quinlan joined, the band's name was shortened to Hop Along. Rolling Stone called the last album Painted Shut one of the 50 best albums of 2015. Hop Along has just released a new record, Bark Your Head Off, Dog, which has that bubbling feeling of a band about to break. I'll talk to Frances about that in a moment, but let's start off on stage at World Cafe Live with a performance of "How Simple," the opening track from the new album. Listen in the player.
