Question: Protesters Gather Again In Tehran; In U.S., Health Care Debate Continues

Good morning. As the day gets going many eyes are again on Iran, where those who continue to protest the results of the country's June 12 presidential election are gathering at the Tehran grave of Neda Soltan -- a young woman killed during the protests that followed the voting. Her death sparked outrage around the world after it was caught on video. The Guardian says "thousands of Iranians are expected to defy the authorities again." Already, Reuters is reporting that "dozens of riot police" are trying to disperse the mourners. the news service also says that presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, who says the election was rigged in favor of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has joined the mourners at the cemetery. The Associated Press, though, is saying it has heard from witnesses that Mousavi was prevented from getting there by police. The BBC says there are reports of arrests being made at the cemetery -- though it does not yet say where it is getting those reports from. Meanwhile, health care and the efforts by Washington lawmakers to overhaul it continue to dominate the news in the U.S. On Morning Edition: -- NPR's Julie Rovner profiled the "Blue Dog" Democrats who faced down the liberal leaders of their party to make progress on a health care overhaul. -- Co-host Steve Inskeep talked with Sen. Kent Conrad, D-.N.D., about his plan to have nonprofit cooperatives compete with private insurers. -- Guest host Linda Wertheimer and former GOP congressman Bill Tauzin, now the president of the biggest trade association for the drug industry, talked about why his group is working with the Obama administration on the overhaul. "If we do nothing now," Tauzin says, "this country is going to get sicker and poorer and less competitive in the world." Sticking with health care for a minute, The New York Times and CBS News say their latest polling shows that the president's "ability to shape the debate on health care appears to be eroding as opponents aggressively portray his overhaul plan as a government takeover." The Wall Street Journal and NBC News say their new poll shows that "support for President Barack Obama's health-care effort has declined over the past five weeks." Those readings are similar to the findings in the latest NPR poll. As for other stories making headlines, they include: -- Los Angeles Times -- "Iraq In Throes Of Environmental Catastrophe, Experts Say": "Decades of war and mismanagement, compounded by two years of drought, are wreaking havoc on Iraq's ecosystem, drying up riverbeds and marshes, turning arable land into desert, killing trees and plants, and generally transforming what was once the region's most fertile area into a wasteland. Falling agricultural production means that Iraq, once a food exporter, will this year have to import nearly 80% of its food, spending money that is urgently needed for reconstruction projects." -- The Oregonian -- Brutal Heat Continues: "The third day of a record-breaking, broiling heat wave in the Pacific Northwest will continue at least through today, as temperatures again are forecast to break the century mark. Portland just missed tying its hottest day ever by 1 degree Wednesday, as the temperature hit 106 degrees at 5 p.m. at Portland International Airport." -- The Wall Street Journal -- "White House 'Beer Summit' Becomes Something Of A Brouhaha": "The president's plan to toss back a few cold ones with some high-profile guests at the White House has the American beer industry hopping mad" because the brands expected to e quaffed are produced by foreign-controlled brewers. Related report on Morning Edition -- As NPR's Scott Horsley says, not even the choice of beer has been simple:

Question: Pressure Is Building On Biden To Do More For Asylum-Seekers And Migrants

President Biden is in a tough place on immigration. On one side, he faces growing pressure from supporters who want his administration to stop turning away asylum-seekers — and to invest more political capital on creating a pathway to citizenship for the nation's 11 million undocumented immigrants. On the other side, critics want him to do more to stop what has turned into the largest wave of migrants arriving at the U.S. southern border in recent history, with border agents averaging 6,300 encounters with migrants every day last month. It's against this backdrop that Biden spoke Monday to the nation's largest Latino advocacy organization, UnidosUS.  In prerecorded remarks, Biden promised to continue to fight for undocumented Americans. "My administration will always have your back," he declared. Some of Biden's supporters, like Ali Noorani of the National Immigration Forum, hoped his speech would be directed at not just his base, but more broadly to the American people — particularly to swing voters who are concerned about migration yet recognize the value of immigrants in their communities. "This has to be a speech to suburban families, to rural families, who are asking questions of, 'OK, as a nation, are we going to be safe and secure under the Biden administration?" Noorani said. "'And are we going to be able to treat the immigrants who I've come to know and love through church, through work, through school — are we going to treat them compassionately?' " Noorani said Biden needs the backing of a much broader swath of Americans if he wants to build the support he needs to address immigration issues. In his less-than-two-minute remarks, Biden did not address border security. He instead spoke about protecting vulnerable immigrants brought to the country illegally as children, as well as fighting for a pathway to citizenship for much of the larger community of 11 million undocumented immigrants.  He also thanked advocates affiliated with UnidosUS as well as the broader Latino community for stepping up during their pandemic to help Americans get through the health crisis.  "Six months ago, our nation was reeling from a once-in-a-century health crisis, a once-in-a-generation economic crisis, both of which brought disproportionate heartache to Latino families," Biden said.  Supporters want more action on immigration promises Since taking office, Biden has followed through on several campaign promises, including stopping construction on the southern border wall. He ended a Trump administration program that required asylum-seekers to remain in Mexico as they waited for their cases to be heard. And he created a task force to reunite immigrant children and parents who were separated at the U.S.-Mexico border. But legislation to create a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants has gone almost nowhere. Smaller legislative packages that would protect farm workers and younger immigrants brought to the country illegally as children have also stalled. Finding a way to protect those younger immigrants has become even more important to Biden's supporters after a federal judge in Texas ruled this month that the program created to protect them was unconstitutional. The administration has vowed to appeal the decision and also supports efforts by Democratic lawmakers to try fold the issue into a massive budget reconciliation package this summer. In the past week, however, Biden has twice questioned whether the Senate rules would allow such a move.  Supporters want the asylum system restored In Monday's remarks, Biden did not address the fate of a Trump-era pandemic rule that has been kept in place, allowing his administration to quickly turn away tens of thousands of people seeking asylum. That rule, known as Title 42, has angered some supporters who see it less as a public health measure and more of a convenient way to deter migration and keep political opponents at bay. "One of the most damaging legacies from the Trump administration is the goalposts were moved in such a way that we further limited the rights of asylum-seekers and migrants at the border," said Dylan Corbett, executive director of the Hope Border Institute. "And if we don't have the political courage to at least restore the modicum of rights that asylum-seekers have at the border, the moving of those goalposts and the eroding of those rights will be the new normal," he said. Pandemic relief a focus Those attending the virtual conference were, of course, also interested in what Biden had to say about pandemic relief.  The pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on Latino families, said Clarissa Martinez De Castro, deputy vice president of policy and advocacy at UnidosUS. "While immigration packs a powerful punch and it is incredibly important for Latinos, we care deeply about the economy and jobs," Martinez said. "We care deeply about how we're going to recover from the pandemic and about health care, particularly the cost of hea

Question: Soldiers Mixed On 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Repeal

As President Obama prepares to sign into law a repeal of the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, soldiers at military bases around the country are expressing both nonchalance and worry that serving with openly gay troops will be a distraction. The Senate approved a measure to end the 17-year-old ban on gays in the military on Saturday, and Obama could sign it into law as early as Wednesday. The repeal won't take effect immediately, but the policy could be over in a matter of weeks. The Pentagon's top brass supports the change, and a Defense Department survey regarding "don't ask, don't tell" indicates broad support or indifference toward repeal. But front-line troops are more mixed: Nearly 50 percent of the Army's combat elements told surveyors that repeal would have a negative effect. NPR talked to service members and their families about their views on ending the ban. 'Now Was Not The Right Time To Do It' Near Fort Drum in upstate New York, even talking about "don't ask don't tell" makes people uncomfortable. Fort Drum is a sprawling post of 20,000 soldiers. Like many military communities, the surrounding area is rural and conservative. Manju Sampson, a towering sergeant in green camouflage who recently came back from Iraq, says that as long as soldiers "concentrate on doing their job" and "don't let their personal life interfere with their work life -- then I have no problem with nothing." Melinda Merrill's husband is a sergeant at Fort Drum. She says preventing openly gay soldiers from serving is wrong. "I don't think it's fair," she says. "I think they should be allowed." But Merrill admits the new policy will take some getting used to. Over at Quantico, one of the biggest Marine Corps bases in the world, located about 30 miles south of Washington, D.C., groups of Marines didn't break stride as they responded to NPR's question about the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell." "No comment," many said. But in a coffee shop inside the base, it was a different story. Capt. Jason Moore says the burden of fighting two wars makes the introduction of openly gay service members a matter of bad timing more than anything else. "I think it will be a distraction," Moore says. "I think that it's just an additional variable in a Marine Corps that's already been tested to the limit for the last nine years. I think if they wanted to change the policy, now was not the right time to do it, if at all." At Charlie's Number One Military barbershop in downtown Quantico, one of a half-dozen barbershops along main street, Andrew Robinson says he doesn't have any personal objections to a Marine being openly gay -- but the new policy won't be easy to implement. "It just depends how they bring it along. If they force it really fast, it's probably not going to work," he says. "They need to gradually let this come into play." 'Nothing's Going To Change' Meanwhile, at Fort  Campbell on the Tennessee-Kentucky border, thousands of soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division are waiting to ship out to war. Among them is Pvt. Devere Artis, 22, who deploys to Afghanistan in March. "I know numerous gay soldiers that I serve with, that are in my company, that I fight side by side with," Artis says. Artis, who has already served two tours -- one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan -- says deployments mean close quarters. "I would say 10 percent of the time you're over there, you're going to be nude in front of another soldier, washing up, changing your clothes, getting yourself ready for work," he says. He's fine with lifting the ban on serving openly, but mostly so he'll know for sure who is gay. He says he still doesn't want homosexual behavior in his face. "[If] you like flowers and daisies, like flowers and daisies, but don't do it while we're trying to stick together so we can come back alive," he says. Miguel Lopez is retired after being injured in combat. He joined the Army after serving in the Navy, where he says it seemed more acceptable to be gay -- but not for infantry. "Now that's a whole different world right there," Lopez says. "I think you should know who you have on your team. You should know, because when the moment comes ..." Lopez stops himself, saying there's no reason to believe gay soldiers are any less brave. There are combat troops who see no problems. Spc. Brad Baldwin leaves for Afghanistan next year. "Still going to go do my job, do my duty, and nothing's going to change just because some policy changes and somebody's living a different lifestyle than me," Baldwin says.

Note: This episode contains explicit language. In that photo up there, the man on the right is handing an envelope of cash to the man on the left, in exchange for secret information. It is a photo of insider trading as it happens. Today on the show: the man on the left explains everything — what he did, how he did it, and why. Though he's still struggling with that last one. Music: "Mellowdrama" and "Make Me Believe." Find us: Twitter/ Facebook/ Spotify/ Tumblr. DAVID KESTENBAUM, HOST:  Just a little note. Today's podcast includes some bad words. Actually, it's the same bad word said over again in rapid succession. There you go; you've been warned. All right, Jacob, here's the photo. This is a surveillance photo, we're pretty sure taken by the FBI. You want to describe it? JACOB GOLDSTEIN, HOST:  Yeah, so it's two men in a parking lot. It looks like the picture was taken from across the street. You see the men in profile. The man on the right is wearing sunglasses and a dark jacket. And he's handing an envelope to the man on the left. KESTENBAUM: What I love about this photo is it captures the exact moment where the guy on the left is actually taking the envelope. GOLDSTEIN: You can see the thumb just closing right over it. KESTENBAUM: We can tell you what's in that envelope because this whole thing ended up in court. It is stuffed with money. The envelope's filled with hundred-dollar bills. GOLDSTEIN: And this is a picture of insider trading. You hear about insider trading in the news. It's this abstract thing. No, here is a photo of it happening. KESTENBAUM: Insider trading, where one person tips a friend off about some upcoming merger or leaks some confidential information. They buy some stock, and they make a ton of money. This one made for a particularly good story. (SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING) UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER #1: In many senses, it's a story made for the movies, an accountant for KPMG, Scott London, who now has insider trading charges brought against him... KESTENBAUM: Insider trading feels like cheating because - because it is cheating. And it strikes this nerve for people who feel like the markets are rigged. You know, here is your proof - right? - two men in a Starbucks parking lot exchanging an envelope filled with cash. Hello, and welcome to PLANET MONEY. I'm David Kestenbaum. GOLDSTEIN: And I'm Jacob Goldstein. Today on the show, we talk to that man in the photo taking the envelope full of cash in the Starbucks parking lot. And he tells us everything. He tells us what he did, how he did it and why he did it. Well, all right, on the why, he's still kind of trying to figure it out. KESTENBAUM: Also, what is insider trading? The law is not what I thought. Actually, there isn't really a law. And we dig into this brain teaser - the money that insider traders make, where exactly does that come from? Who are they stealing from? (SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC) UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Support for this podcast and the following message come from Paramount Pictures, with "The Big Short," the true story of the four outsiders who risked it all to uncover the biggest fraud in U.S. history - nominated for four Golden Globe Awards, including best actor Steve Carell, best actor Christian Bale, and best picture of the year. "The Big Short" stars Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Melissa Leo, Brad Pitt and Marisa Tomei. Now playing everywhere. KESTENBAUM: Usually in these cases, the person who commits the crime, if you call them up, they will just not call you back. Or they'll say, talk to my lawyer. And then the lawyer will not call you back. This case is different. So you're the guy in the photo. SCOTT LONDON: I am the guy in the photo, yeah. (Laughter). KESTENBAUM: This is Scott London. LONDON: I've been - well, I was a CPA. GOLDSTEIN: A CPA, a certified public accountant. Scott was an accountant working at one of the biggest accounting firms in the world, KPMG. And he was good at his job. He got promoted over the years to where he was overseeing 500 people spread across a whole region. KESTENBAUM: And he says it was the kind of job you could feel good about. They were conducting audits of hundreds of publicly traded companies, making sure those companies weren't cooking their books or making something up. Scott says all the big decisions ran through him. GOLDSTEIN: And in the course of doing that, what do you learn about a company? LONDON: Everything. GOLDSTEIN: Everything? LONDON: Really, everything - what's going on internationally, what's going on liquidity-wise, what's going on with future projections. GOLDSTEIN: So, like, you would know as much as almost anybody inside the company about the company. LONDON: Yes. KESTENBAUM: This was, of course, very valuable information he was being entrusted with. And Scott says it was super clear that it was supposed to remain confidential.

Question: 'How To Become A Scandal' Is Smart, But Timid

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

If scandals teach us anything, it's that we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. A priest can be a pedophile. An "All-American" golf pro can cheat on his wife. A sanctimonious politician -- well, how much time do you have? Yet Laura Kipnis' new book is like its cover.  The provocative title, How to Become a Scandal: Adventures in Bad Behavior, leads you to expect a lurid, splashy package with bold lettering. Instead, with its neat, white jacket, the book looks almost prim.  And this isn't misleading. Kipnis has taken on a big, titillating, inflammatory subject -- rather timidly. To be fair, How to Become a Scandal is spirited and smart. Kipnis is a professor attempting to break new ground in scholarship. "We lack any real theory of scandal," she writes. "There's no scandal philosophy or psychology ... intellectually speaking, it's pretty much virgin terrain."  Given how much bad behavior seems to be making the headlines these days, her call is timely. Why not try to understand what compels so many smart people to do stupid, immoral and degrading things -- and what compels us, the public, to salivate over their downfall?  Scandals, Kipnis asserts, are a product of our own innate fallibilities -- blindness, hubris, irrationality, appetite. Because they remind all of us of our most carnal selves, scandals trigger conflicting desires -- to indulge and to punish. When a few hapless figures are caught with their pants down, we get to live out our own taboos through them vicariously. At the same time, we get to experience a rush of indignation and righteousness. And so, perversely, scandals allow us to have our cake -- and renounce it, too. "Culture needs scandal," Kipnis declares.  Her book profiles four tabloid stars in-depth: the lovelorn astronaut caught stalking her romantic rival in diapers. A New York judge jailed after bizarrely trying to extort money from his mistress. Linda Tripp, reviled, wire-wearing whistle-blower in the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. And James Frey, of fake-memoir infamy. Yet like her subjects, Kipnis doesn't always fulfill her best intentions. Although How to Become A Scandal takes an intelligent look at the psychology behind bad behavior, the second part gives way to deconstructions of Linda Tripp and James Frey, at which point the book's thesis blurs.  Kipnis also leaves many huge, American scandals unmentioned. "I've avoided the glitziest cases, which tend to become too encrusted with opinion to yield surprises," Kipnis writes. Fine -- but this feels like a cop-out. Why not take on the most infamous scandals -- and recast them with fresh insight? Isn't this precisely what new scholarship should do? Besides, you're discussing scandal! Don't pussyfoot around! Furthermore, some scandals are not delicious. They expose true hypocrisy, rottenness and crime -- again, think Catholic Church.  These scandals have not been greeted with secret "nasty glee" by the public -- only horror -- and a justifiable call for justice. They're a different breed to be sure -- but Kipnis never addresses them. In How to Become a Scandal, she's launched a promising new field of inquiry.  But she needs to expand upon it -- and, like her subjects, grow bolder and more brazen.  Susan Jane Gilman is the author of Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress and Kiss My Tiara: How to Rule the World as a SmartMouth Goddess. Around the time the married governor of a populous northeastern state resigned following humiliating revelations about high-priced call girls and secret wire transfers to off shore accounts to pay for them, a man I was having dinner with, an intellectual type who writes earnestly about political and cultural matters of the day in highbrow journals and erudite op-eds, said with much certainty, apropos these recent events, that any man who claimed he'd never been to a prostitute was lying. "Really?" I said, adjusting my expression into studied neutrality while speculating inwardly about what special services were required that he couldn't find anyone willing to perform gratis -- after all, he wasn't bad-looking (though one also hears it said that men aren't actually paying prostitutes for the sex, they're paying them to leave afterward). While I can't claim to be someone who musters vast outrage about the existence of prostitution (the issue should be unionization), this admission still took me aback: for one thing, I barely knew the man; also the contention that "everyone does it" seemed miscalculated, since even if they do, they're not routinely confessing it to their female dining companions. Maybe he mistook me for the nonjudgmental type as I've occasionally written on what might be called "transgressive" subjects, which does sometimes lead people to share such things with me unbidden. This is clearly a mistake on their parts since I can be a bit of a gossip, not to mention the fact that I habitually stash revealing sociological tidbits like this one away in a mental filing drawer for possible use in as yet

Question: Chinese Bestseller: 'Goldman Sachs Conspiracy'

Apparently, bashing Goldman Sachs plays well in China these days. A new Chinese bestseller called "Goldman Sachs Conspiracy" argues that the bank's ultimate goal is to "kill China," the AP reports. "Like a fox chewing a bone, Goldman Sachs knows the rules of the game  and when to go for your neck," the book says. Read More: 'the IQ of an Israeli Shar Pei Dog' Goldman's office in Beijing refused to comment, according to the AP. The book notwithstanding, Goldman seems to be doing well in China; among other  projects, the bank worked on the huge Ag  Bank IPO earlier this year. "Goldman Sachs Conspiracy" was written by a guy named Li Delin, whose previous works include "Who Killed Toyota: the Truth of America's Attack," and "Eliminate All Competitors — How Goldman Sachs Wins Over the World." The new book includes some language that has an anti-semitic ring to it; it says that Goldman "has the IQ of an Israeli Shar Pei Dog," the blog Sinocism noted earlier this week. The author told Forbes that this language was inserted by the publisher without his knowledge.

It\'s a tantalizing and maddening phrase in curation — one that implies many forces at play, but leaves the task of decanting each one to the viewer. As a musician, Worden (who performs as My Brightest Diamond) builds her songs deliberately and impeccably, using many moving parts culled from influences across the art world. Elements of opera, cabaret, chamber pop, and art pop all recur, and on This Is My Hand, Worden adds a drumline ("Pressure") and industrial noise ("I Am Not The Bad Guy") to her repertoire, giving sharper corners to the round warmth of her operatically trained voice. This Is My Hand finds her wielding instruments like a series of tools, each with a discrete purpose in the construction of an abstract, heterogeneous galaxy. Though Worden makes music, the media she mixes aren\'t purely sonic. She cultivates a striking physical image that changes with each new project, and the videos accompanying her songs are so precisely choreographed, she could have conceptualized them in tandem. Lyrically, My Brightest Diamond is metaphorical and often whimsical, leaving space for any manner of artistic interpretation to further illuminate meaning. Various forms of texture and imagery pop up throughout This Is My Hand, most notably as a list of colors in "Pressure" and an exploration of changing shapes in "Shape." Words are painted, sounds are sculpted, and the nature of Worden\'s voice itself adds dimension — more than a single vocalist usually can. Her wholly enveloping, finely tuned alto sounds by turns forceful, vulnerable, cooing, playful, and endlessly emotive. Worden\'s music feels simultaneously micro-orchestrated and entirely, ecstatically spontaneous. She has in common with former bandmate Sufjan Stevens an exceptional knack for world-building, as well as an ability to cultivate intimacy through flawless, complex production with a beating heart. This Is My Hand is a paean to the work of human hands, in the same way 2011\'s All Things Will Unwind celebrates beauty born of human struggle. Every song here works as both a mission statement and a directive that\'s propulsive and demanding of full attention — while Worden\'s voice, particularly in the title track, provides a firm yet loving affirmation.']>>  to "['represent this text to find its subtitle about the same news but with slightly more depth', "First Listen: My Brightest Diamond, 'This Is My Hand'"]"

Question: New NCAA Policy Hands Over Some Power

The organization that governs college sports is allowing five major athletic conferences to make some of their own rules. It’s a major change for an association that’s not known for change. The conferences approved a new policy at the recent NCAA Convention, which will allow those conferences to fully fund athletic scholarships, because right now those scholarships do not really cover the full cost of attending college. The NCAA also allowed athletes to participate in the convention for the first time. Brad Wolverton, senior writer at the Chronicle of Higher Education, calls the shift a “new era in college sports.” He spoke with Here & Now’s Jeremy Hobson about what these changes mean for the future of college athletics.

Question: Musicians Struggle To Buy Insurance In A City That Thrives On Music

It looks like Kalu James is living the life as a musician. He's standing under a neon sign, ready to play guitar at Austin's famous Continental Club. And when he's not here, he's hustling to pay his bills. "Being a full-time musician means you have three other side jobs, you know?" he says. James moved to Austin about eight years ago and got health insurance for the first time this year. He pays $22 a month, after the $200 subsidy he gets through the Affordable Care Act. Even that is a lot, because he earns only $15,000 a year. He gets help paying his monthly premium through a local nonprofit. "We still have to worry about counting the quarters and the pennies when we leave these venues," he says. Health insurance doesn't come easily. Austin thrives on its reputation as the live music capital of the world and is making far more than quarters and pennies from music. The city estimates the commercial music industry pumps $1.6 billion into the local economy every year. But Austin has a lot of people like James struggling to afford life here. "A lot of people didn't understand just how dire that situation is," says Nikki Rowling, the founder and CEO of the Titan Music Group. "We have hard data that shows it." The Titan Music Group recently conducted a large survey and several focus groups of musicians in Austin; it produced the Austin Music Census for the city. The census found that 20 percent of Austin musicians live below the federal poverty level. More than 50 percent qualify for federal housing subsidies, and nearly 19 percent lack health insurance. A lot of Austin musicians rely on the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians for help. "Close to 60 percent of our membership doesn't even qualify for the subsidies that are given through the Affordable Care Act," says Reenie Collins, the alliance's executive director. And Texas didn't expand Medicaid, which would have helped those musicians below the poverty line. Her organization helps in two ways. This year, HAAM gave Kalu James and about 300 others money to afford their premiums for plans bought on the exchange. It also coordinates low-cost health care for about 2,000 members every year. It partners with doctors and hospitals to give these musicians medical, dental, vision, hearing and mental health care. Backstage at the Moody Theater, dobro player Tom Caven is getting ready to go onstage. "Travel anywhere in the United States," Caven says, "you tell them you're from Austin, [and] they almost always say, 'Austin City Limits,' you know? This is very much the identity. And if we lost that, we'd just be another up-and-coming city with no personality." Caven is an executive at the Seton hospital network, an organization that partners with HAAM. He is also a physician and treated musicians in Austin for almost 20 years. Caven's band, The Stray Bullets, is performing at a local "battle of the bands" to raise money for HAAM. "Some people feel like you just ought to work hard enough to have health insurance," he says. "But working in a safety-net hospital, like I do, you see people that come in. They're working really hard — working sometimes two and three jobs to support their family." Thanks to fundraisers and other private donations, HAAM's Collins plans to triple the number of musicians who will get help with their premiums next year. She's also a passionate advocate of Medicaid expansion, which would help many musicians in Austin. "Many, many people think, 'Oh, HAAM's not needed anymore.' Well, that's not really true," she says, "because Texas did not expand Medicaid." While more people have become insured since the rollout of the exchanges, Texas still has the highest uninsured rate in the country — about 17 percent.  This story is part of NPR's reporting partnership with local member stations and Kaiser Health News.

Question: Is There A 'Better Way' To Handle Campus Sexual Assault?

represent the subtitle to find a news title on npr with less details

Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos insisted about 10 times during her recent policy address that there's a "better way" for colleges handle campus sexual assault. Now, as officials begin work to find it, they may well be taking a cue a few groups that DeVos says has already "made progress on these difficult issues." Here's a look at the recommendation of those groups. DeVos cited a task force of the American Bar Association, and another by the American College of Trial Lawyers, both of which managed to find consensus on how to make the current system more fair to accused students. 1. Decision makers must be convinced by the evidence The ABA's Criminal Justice Section Task Force on College Due Process Rights and Victim Protections issued its recommendations last spring, hashed out by a diverse group of advocates and lawyers holed up together in a conference room for eight hours at a time. "Walking in, I was very wary," says one participant, Laura Dunn, who founded the victim advocacy group "SurvJustice" in 2014, about decade after she says she was raped at college. "There was apprehension on all sides that it would be challenging and hard and frustrating and possibly resulting in zero agreement at all," she recalls. But over lots of coffee, emotion, and pressure to listen more and bend further, Dunn and the others got to a set of rules they could all live with. "Nobody gets everything they want," says another participant, Cynthia Garrett, co-president of the group Families Advocating for Campus Equality, which represents the interests of accused students. "I understood I had to compromise just like everyone other person in the room did." One biggie for everyone was how much evidence should be required to prove a sexual assault. Like many others, Garrett saw the current "preponderance of the evidence" standard as too flimsy, and she wanted to raise it to require "clear and convincing" evidence. But for Dunn, that was a deal-breaker. Ultimately, their compromise began to take shape, as participants started agreeing to a bunch of other protections. For example, the task force decided that students should have attorneys who can actually speak during hearings. Students should also see all the evidence being considered, the task force said, and both sides should be able to do some cross-examination through written questions. The task force recommended against the so-called "single investigator model," in which the investigator is also the person rendering judgement. And members said cases should be judged by a panel that would have to be unanimous, rather than by any single person. "That was kind of a 'give' to assure people who were concerned about rights of accused," says Dunn. "We were ensuring that campuses [would be] really sure when they made this decision." After all that was hashed out, the issue of evidence got easier. As long as all those other protections are in place, members agreed, a lower standard is OK. Otherwise, they concluded, the evidence bar should be higher. Garrett says consensus also became easier after the group decided to ditch all the baggage that comes with the legal labels like "preponderance of the evidence" or "clear and convincing." Instead, they just spelled out exactly what they had in mind. "We wrote out that the decision makers must be convinced," says Garrett. "They have to actually believe the evidence. There's no more guessing. That's how I reached the point at which I said OK." Both Garrett and Dunn say they've taken some flack for compromising from their own respective sides, which only underscores how hard it may be for DeVos to get any kind of broad buy-in from all the warring factions: those incensed by what they see as government overreach and a virtual witch hunt, and those outraged by an administration they see as hostile to victims. Indeed, even before DeVos started laying out her position on the issue, many were already expressing outrage. "We do not trust this administration," longtime activist Lisalyn Jacobs said during a protest rally outside DeVos' recent speech. "The administration is headed by someone who talked about grabbing women by a word that I will not use," she said. 2. Raising the standard for evidence Some want DeVos to convene a diverse committee to help hash out new rules, as the ABA task force and The American College of Trial Lawyers did. But there is even disagreement in what those groups concluded; the ACTL recommended that the standard of evidence should be raised. ACTL President Bart Dalton says a new framework is needed to stop the accused from being "railroaded" and improve a process that leaves everyone "shortchanged." But, he says, the ACTL and ABA recommendations are more similar than they might appear. If the ACTL had delved into as much detail as the ABA on other issues like the right to cross examination, "we might be willing to go to a lower standard," Dalton says. "These things push and pull on each other. The more other protections

Question: Mayo Clinic: America's Model?

The Mayo Clinic keeps popping up as a model for how Americans should get their care. There's hardly a better brand-name around, but could the Mayo approach, melding lower-than-average cost and better-than-average quality, really work everywhere? NPR's Linda Wertheimer asks Mayo Clinic President and CEO Denis Cortese on Tuesday's Morning Edition. Yes, he says, the Mayo model "is transportable--with difficulty." The key ingredient is instilling a culture among physicians that puts the needs of patients first, he says. We thought the Hippocratic Oath was supposed to cover that, but evidently even the modernized version used in many med schools isn't up to the task. Read More >> Wertheimer zeroes in on one of Mayo's secrets--putting doctors on salary. Doesn't that hurt recruiting? Pay at Mayo is "competitive," despite the salary approach, Cortese says, and turnover is low. When it comes to the patient's experience, taking a doctor's pocketbook out of the care equation makes a big difference. Paying doctors by the procedure, or for treating sicker people can create conflicts, Cortese says. "If they end up doing less, keeping people healthier or keeping them at home, they may actually make no money," he explains. Cortese argues for payments to providers of health care based on the value they provide--not the number of procedure they perform. If Medicare paid providers of good value care a little more--enough to give them a 2% profit margin--practices like Mayo's "would grown indefinitely," he says. For another view, check out the Washington Post's deep Mayo dive over the weekend. One skeptic, Richard Cooper, a U Penn professor of medicine, tells the Post, "It's not [Mayo's] model. It's their patients and money. If you have the money, you can attract good staff, good doctors, good nurses."

Question: China's Economy Falters; Slowest Growth In Nearly 3 Decades

Updated at 11:50 a.m. ET China's economy grew at the slowest pace in 27 years, as the trade war with the United States takes a toll. The second-largest economy in the world grew 6.2% in the second quarter of 2019, a drop from 6.4% in the first quarter, according to data released by the Chinese government. The pace of growth in the second quarter was at its slowest since 1992. Mao Shengyong, a spokesperson for China's National Bureau of Statistics, told reporters at a news conference that the "external environment" is more complicated than in the past. Months of trade negotiations between Beijing and Washington have resulted in deadlock. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping vowed to resume trade talks after meeting at the G-20 summit in Japan in June. In what analysts see as a momentary truce, Trump chose to hold off on a threat to impose new tariffs on about $300 billion worth of additional Chinese imports. But the president took to Twitter on Monday morning to comment on China's economic growth. "The United States Tariffs are having a major effect on companies wanting to leave China for non-tariffed countries," he tweeted. "Thousands of companies are leaving. This is why China wants to make a deal with the U.S., and wishes it had not broken the original deal in the first place." Still, the slowdown is not unexpected. It falls within a target range set by the government of 6% to 6.5%. Domestic spending by Chinese consumers kept the economy slowing even further. As concerns grow within China that its formidable economic growth over the past three decades is softening, the Chinese government continues to implement policies to encourage domestic investment and stimulate the economy. Meanwhile, Trump is expected on Monday to use his political will to sign an executive order meant to boost production of American steel and iron. The move would not be Trump's first attempt to bolster the U.S. steel industry. He slapped tariffs on imports from most large, steel-producing countries in 2018. The measure may have escalated tariffs between Chinese and American goods. Economists have warned for months about an economic slowdown in China in 2019. "Even back in November, they were talking about the cold winter coming up. They weren't referring to the weather," economist Christopher Balding told NPR in January.

Question: Technology Writer Calls For 'Information Environmentalism'

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

Technology writer Evgeny Morozov says we’ve ceded key decisions on public space to technology companies, and he is joining the call for a movement to take the space back. “We’ve decided by default that more connectivity is a good thing, but maybe it isn’t,” Morozov tells Here & Now’s Robin Young. For one thing, Morozov argues, we turn to technology to escape boredom, but information overload also leads to profound boredom. “There is such a thing as being bored with too much information, and I think we need to think of strategies in which we can consciously limit our exposure to information, and actually deliberately practice boredom of a different kind,” Morozov said. “Not over-stimulated boredom, but where we try to deprive ourselves.” Morozov says at the moment, if you want to do anything about escaping the internet, you have to take personal measures. Morozov himself locks away his internet cable and his smartphone in a safe. Instead, there should be a public discussion about public policy, Morozov says. He compares it to the movement to reduce noise in urban areas 100 years ago. Like today, says Morozov, there were many people then who felt that the noise was part of progress and people just had to adjust to it. But the anti-noise movement successfully argued for different kinds of roads and pavements to reduce traffic noise, and pushed laws limiting the kinds of noises that companies and individuals could make at night. “We need to think about how we need to redesign our public spaces,” Morozov said. “For example, as our cities are being redesigned to become smarter and more connected, and as we are moving to an age of internet of things, this will be a public and a political problem.”

Evgeny Morozov, journalist who writes about technology. He tweets @evgenymorozov.
 ROBIN YOUNG, HOST:  It's HERE AND NOW. Do you ever feel like you are in permanent reception mode, taking in information from smartphones, tweets, texts, the Internet, thinking that flight from information is impossible? Well, then you have more in common with people from the 1920s than you know. An essay written by a German architect in 1924 spoke of over-stimulated urbanites who were developing a blase attitude to protect themselves from the onslaught of sensations. Evgeny Morozov reached back to that essay for another called "Only Disconnect: Two Cheers for Boredom." The New York Times calls Morozov the Internet's verbal contrarian because of his skepticism about the utopian promises made by the world of technology. He's a contributing editor at the New Republic, the author of "To Save Everything, Click Here: The Folly of Technological Solutionism," and his essay about boredom appeared in The New Yorker. Evgeny, welcome back to the program. EVGENY MOROZOV: Good to be here. YOUNG: Tell us about those people in 1920s. What was over stimulating them? MOROZOV: It was a couple of things. It was radio. It was all sorts of advertisements that began appearing in the states. The fascinations of modern life also had the cost, so a lot of people were as concerned with those distractions as some of the people are concerned now with Twitter and all of the other stimulations that they have. YOUNG: Here are some of the other writings from the time. Radio listeners were in a state, as we said, of permanent receptivity. Constantly pregnant with London, the Eiffel Tower and Berlin, their souls badgered by news hounds so that soon no one can tell anymore who's the hunter and who is the hunted. You know, this feeling that they were really under attack from information, which, of course, a lot of people feel now. And explain how boredom works its way into this, because it seems, if I'm reading this correctly, as if you're saying that people became blase in - sort of in a way to protect themselves from this and looked as if they were bored, but it was just to protect themselves from this assault. On the other hand, you seem to be saying that the people who are hyperconnected with technology today are boring, even though they think that they are the hippest going. MOROZOV: Well, there are many things going on here. I mean, the essay that I reached for originally by this German critic, Siegfried Kracauer, his argument was that boredom was becoming almost impossible to find. It was getting harder and harder. These people were attacked by these modern distractions. The point I was making is that now we seem to have all sorts of ways and outlets in which you can escape boredom. So you think you can escape it on Twitter. You can escape it on Facebook, on your cellphone. But, of course, you get bored with those messages as well, right? There is such a thing as being bored with just too much information. And I think we need to think of strategies in which we can maybe consciously limit our expos

Question: As Wars Wind Down, What Are U.S. Security Needs?

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

U.S. troops have already left Iraq, the war in Afghanistan is winding down, and there hasn't been a major terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 2001. So is America now safe enough to scale back its emphasis on security? Or are the potential threats no less dangerous — just less obvious? These questions are not just philosophical, but practical. They're also the underpinning of the current argument about what the level of defense spending should be. Cuts, But How Big? President Obama's new budget proposal, released Monday, depends on reductions in military spending for a lot of its projected deficit savings. After a decade of sharp increases, the Pentagon budget would be cut by about 6 percent next year, compared to this year's spending levels. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said the Pentagon can absorb the current cuts and can meet the nation's strategic security needs with fewer troops. Testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, Panetta restated the Obama administration's position that it will focus more on Asia and the Middle East in the coming years. But Panetta, the military brass and many Republicans are concerned that even larger cuts could be on the way and those could substantially weaken the military. "It asks the men and women in uniform who have given so much already to give that much more, so that the president might fund programs the American people don't want and can't afford," Howard "Buck" McKeon, the California Republican who chairs the House Armed Services Committee, said in response to Obama's budget. Underlying this political debate, however, is a deeper question. The U.S. has overwhelming military superiority and there is no immediate threat from abroad, so how vigilant and well-armed should the U.S. be to preserve national security? In a forthcoming article in Foreign Affairs, Micah Zenko and Michael A. Cohen argue that threats to the U.S. are routinely overstated. Wars are less frequent — and far less deadly — than they were even a few decades ago. The U.S. has built up a military apparatus that dwarfs any potential rivals — spending nine times as much as China on defense, for instance. Even terrorist attacks pose little threat to most Americans, Zenko and Cohen argue. They are fellows, respectively, at the Council on Foreign Relations and the Century Foundation. They note that in 2010, 13,186 people were killed in terrorist attacks worldwide, but only 15 of them were Americans. In other words, Americans face greater risk from drowning in a bathtub. "The world that the United   States inhabits today is a remarkably safe and secure place," Zenko and Cohen write. "It is a world with fewer violent conflicts and greater political freedom than at virtually any other point in human history." Risky Assumptions  Nonetheless, many Americans, including many defense policymakers, continue to feel that the world is a threatening place. To cite one example, the potential for Iran to build nuclear weapons and threaten its neighbors — notably Israel — has been the dominant foreign policy concern in recent weeks. And the argument that the U.S. can feel safe and secure because its wars are winding down and there are no immediate existential threats is based on several "fallacies," says Peter Feaver, a political scientist at Duke University who worked on national security issues during the George W. Bush administration. The first, he says, is that the future will not be as dangerous as the present. The next is that, because the U.S. has achieved clear military dominance, it can rest on its laurels and reduce its military strength. Feaver dismisses the argument that it's a waste of money to chase after al-Qaida just because it hasn't been able to launch another attack of the scope of Sept. 11, 2001. "Their failure to launch is partially a measure of the success of those [counterterrorism] efforts, rather than, as some observers erroneously argue, a sign that they weren't needed," he says. It's like arguing because someone never got mumps, he never needed a mumps vaccine. Preparing For Future Threats Feaver says the third fallacy is the idea that certain conflicts or parts of the world have no bearing on U.S. security interests and can safely be ignored. The dangers of such an attitude, he says, have been amply demonstrated by American inattention to Afghanistan in the 1990s, which allowed al-Qaida to create its safe haven there. There's no telling what threats may loom larger in the future, says Nora Bensahel, a defense analyst at the Center for a New American Security. "That's kind of how history goes," she says. "Things come up and surprise you." Consider China. It may pose no military threat to the U.S. now, but its ambitions even within its region may eventually conflict with American interests. Protecting against such an eventuality will require advanced sea- and aircraft of a sort that take years to develop and build up, Bensahel says. You can't just start from scratch onc

Question: Whatever Happened To ... The Mysterious Kidney Disease Striking Central America?

In 2014 and 2015, NPR reported on a mysterious form of kidney disease that has killed tens of thousands in Central America, many of them in their 30s and 40s. Now there's a new theory about a possible cause. Dr. Cecilia Sorensen in an editorial in the current issue of The New England Journal of Medicine calls this new mysterious form of kidney failure "a sentinel disease" in the era of climate change. "We know that climate change is exacerbating a lot of different human diseases. It exacerbates cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease," says Sorensen, an emergency medicine physician who also teaches at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. "But this is one of the first identified where we can say this disease probably wouldn't have occurred if it weren't for the extreme global temperatures that we're seeing." The disease, which has made kidney failure the second-leading cause of death in Nicaragua and El Salvador, was first reported in the 1990s. It was a strange new type of kidney failure. Sugar cane cutters from plantations in Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala were turning up at clinics with end-stage kidney disease. Some had been in what seemed to be perfect health just a few years before. These laborers didn't have diabetes or hypertension or other factors that might explain why their kidneys were failing. Among the early cases, almost all the patients did agricultural work on the low-lying plains near the Pacific Coast. Later the condition was also found among other people in the area, including miners, fishermen and workers in hot industrial plants. But most of the people dying from CKDu in Central America were relatively young farm laborers. "Then we started realizing, wait a sec, there's a very similar disease process that's being described in India and Sri Lanka," Sorensen says.  And the question was, is it the same disease? "Because it looks almost identical," Sorensen says. "It's affecting agriculture workers in hot areas. And there's also been reports of it happening in Africa as well as in the Middle East." Adding to the difficulty of unraveling this mystery, CKDu appears to hit poor people in poor countries with poor health care systems. "So if the disease is there, we might not even know that it's there because no one's looking for it," Sorensen says. Sorensen wondered if this deadly disease could be a result of global warming. But that's not easy to determine. "It's very difficult to prove direct attribution and say this person is sick because of climate change," she says. "But what we can say is that this disease is occurring in parts of the world that are experiencing unprecedented warming, which we can attribute to climate change." Climate change is just one of the theories behind what's causing CKDu. Most focus on heat stress and dehydration. Others propose a link to drinking water contaminated possibly with heavy metals or agricultural chemicals. Sri Lanka banned the herbicide glyphosate, sold under the brand name Roundup, over concerns that it was causing CKDu. Early on some health officials in Nicaragua blamed the epidemic on home-brewed alcohol. Sorensen says there's probably not one single cause. In her words it's most likely "multi-factorial." But she goes back to the argument that this form of kidney failure is only happening in places that are hot and muggy — and getting hotter. Neil Pearce, a professor of epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, has also been studying CKDu for years. "It's a very unusual phenomenon. I've done work in this general area for 40 years, and it's very unusual to come across something like this," he says. But he's skeptical that climate change is the cause. Pearce has been tracking workers in Nicaragua and found that over a two-year period some of them had lost a third of their kidney function. "It may well be due to heat stress and the extremely bad working conditions in Central America. But adding on the link to climate changes is a bit tenuous," he says. He doesn't think that the relatively small rise in global temperatures over the past few decades would cause such a significant shift in people's health. "We have to keep an open mind as to what could be the cause of the epidemic," he says. Pearce also has looked for CKDu in other places with similar climatic conditions to Central America's Pacific coastal plains — northern Peru and Malawi, for example — and hasn't found it. "If you go to south India there's these villages that are very close to each other, and some of them are getting CKDu and some of them are not. They're both equally hot, and they're not the hottest parts of India," he says. "Yes, there's something very strange going on. It's really interesting scientifically and obviously tragic in terms of the death and illness that it's caused." Sorensen in her editorial doesn't claim to have the exact answer to what's causing CKDu. But she and just about everyone else studying this disease agree that
