Question: A Toxic Century: Mining Giant Must Clean Up Mess

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

In December, the Justice Department announced a settlement in one of the largest environmental bankruptcies in U.S. history.  The American Smelting and Refining Company, known as Asarco, will pay a record $1.79 billion to settle claims for hazardous waste pollution at 80 sites in as many as 20 states. Cleanup will begin this year on one of Asarco's most notorious properties — the copper smelter in El Paso, Texas.  Icon Of A Bygone Era  Driving through El Paso on Interstate 10, you can't miss it: There on a bluff, a stone's throw from the Rio Grande, the old iron and copper smelter sits like a moldering Soviet factory. Time was, the 120-year-old smelter — where metals are extracted from ore — was a pillar of El Paso's economy and one of the best jobs in town.  "You can't get [a] job here in El Paso compared to Asarco," says Miguel Beltran, 82, a former maintenance worker. "Asarco is the best place to work. We were just like a family." Asarco was part of the mining empire of the storied Guggenheim family, which made the steel that helped the U.S. military win two world wars. But the world changed.  Smokestacks that once represented power and progress became symbols of industrial pollution. Today, many people remember the smelter as an environmental outlaw for contaminating central El Paso with dangerous metals, and for secretly and illegally burning hazardous waste. Jim and Debbie Kelly stand on the smelter's slag field looking up at an 800-foot smokestack emblazoned with "ASARCO." They belong to an anti-smelter group called Get the Lead Out. "It was the largest smokestack in the country, and there were people in town who proudly proclaimed we live in a place with the largest smokestack," Jim Kelly says. "They marketed it very well," says Debbie Kelly. "And the people of El Paso were brainwashed to believe that this was the most wonderful thing El Paso could possibly have ... this tall, polluting, contaminating smokestack."    'A Bookmark In History' Although the smelter shut down in 1999, as recently as last year, Asarco sought to renew its air emissions permit to restart the blast furnaces. Widespread opposition in El Paso and across the river in Juarez, Mexico, became a case study of a community's fight for environmental justice.  "Maybe stick them out in the middle of nowhere, but to be right in the heart of a city is not a good thing," says El Paso Mayor John Cook, who opposed the permit. The Environmental Protection Agency finally told Asarco "no." The company, then a bankrupt subsidiary of the mining giant Grupo Mexico, abandoned its efforts to reopen the El Paso copper smelter. In December, the state appointed a trustee to clean up the site, which is contaminated with a periodic table of heavy metals: lead, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, selenium and zinc. Asarco paid $52 million to a custodial trust as part of its bankruptcy settlement. The plan now is to sell off the plant for scrap, isolate the contaminated soil, treat the poisoned groundwater so it doesn't flow into the Rio Grande, and finally, cap the whole 400-acre site with asphalt.  A big question is what to do with the iconic brick smokestack?    "I would love to leave the smokestack there as a reminder, sort of a bookmark in history," Cook says. But whose history: El Paso's or Mexico's?  Mexico Suffers Asarco's Waste Cook and other longtime El Pasoans remember when the wind would shift to the south, the smelter would crank up production, and the smokestack would gush dirty yellow smoke directly into Juarez.  "They could basically pollute as much as they wanted, because it was going into another country that had no ability to stop us," Cook says.  As a result, sulfur dioxide and heavy metals fell on the colonias and schools and playgrounds of El Paso's sister city, where federal and state regulators had no jurisdiction. "It is very clear that a majority of what came out of that flue and was deposited over 100 years landed in Mexico," says Texas state Sen. Eliot Shapleigh, one of those who led the fight to close down Asarco.     Colonia Ladrillera, in Juarez, is located less than a half-mile from the smelter. People here complained of skin rashes, allergies and asthma when Asarco was operating.  When longtime resident Consuelo Renteria is asked what she thinks when she sees the great chimney to the north, she answers with fire in her voice: "I think it's a symbol of our rage, because it hurt many people here," she says. "The people of the United States, they will fix everything over there. And here, what will happen? Nothing." Company Loyalty The corporate office of Asarco in Tucson, Ariz., did not respond to an interview request. With the bankruptcy settlement, the company has a new CEO and has turned its attention to its remaining three copper mines in Arizona and a copper refinery in Amarillo, Texas. A statement on its Web site says at Asarco, environmental considerations are "a way of life within the company."  To this day, some former worker

Question: Alaska Town Begins Land Giveaway

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

A small town in Alaska is relying on a pioneer strategy to boost its population, distributing parcels of free land this week. Many hoping to receive a parcel camped outside overnight in minus-25 degree weather. Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock reports from the Alaska Public Radio Network. MADELEINE BRAND, host:  This is DAY TO DAY. I'm Madeleine Brand.  JOHN YDSTIE, host:  And I'm John Ydstie.  Nothing comes for free these days. Well, almost nothing. Anderson, Alaska, 80 miles south of Fairbanks, has recently exhibited some notable generosity. They gave away free land. One-acre lots were free to the first 26 people who signed up. Those lots were handed over to the new owners Monday morning.  Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock reports.  BONNIE-SUE HITCHCOCK: Anderson is in the interior region of Alaska. It's a sleepy little town on the Nenana River, nestled among spruce and birch. Crazy ideas are hatched up here all the time. But when Anderson high school students came up with the land incentive program, the Denali borough decided it wasn't such a crazy idea at all. Folks from all over the state and the lower 48 seemed to agree.  Mr. JEREMY DEFOE(ph): Why not, it's free land? It will be like the Oklahoma land rush, right? A piece of American history.  HITCHCOCK: Jeremy Defoe lives in Boise, Idaho, and says he woke up Saturday morning to an article in the Boise Statesman about free land in Anderson. He called his buddy, Chris Wattle(ph) in Yakima, and said how'd you like to go to Alaska?  Mr. DEFOE: So we got on a plane, met in Seattle and here we are. Anderson, Alaska, what, 11 hours later, something like that. We drove in last night. Spent the night.  Mr. CHRIS WATTEL: And it was negative 28.  HITCHCOCK: Defoe and Wattel, and at least 30 other hopefuls, stood in line all weekend waiting for the Anderson City Clerk's Office to open Monday at 9 AM. Defoe and his pal were numbers 10 and 11 in line, which pretty much secured them land.  Anderson High School social studies teacher Darryl Frisbee(ph) says the calls have been rolling in since the story went national last week. Frisbee's wife works with the volunteer Emergency Medical Services crew in town. He says that meant he heard curious callers getting in touch any way they could.  Mr. DARRYL FRISBEE (Teacher, Anderson High School): I woke up at four in the morning because the scanner was ringing 911. And she answers 911. I'm calling from New York. I'm wondering about your free land. That happened five times on Saturday and I got up and I said - and our phones started ringing off the hook, so I got up and I called Nancy(ph), the city clerk, and said we've got to man the phones at (unintelligible).  HITCHCOCK: Frisbee says it's been nonstop ever since. And there were literally tens of thousands of applications vying for the 26 slots. But since the post office didn't open until noon Monday, unless you were there in person, chances of securing a lot were pretty slim.  Mr. FRISBEE: People have been calling, you know, from all over the world. We've had calls from India, China. They just can't fathom that there's a community of 300 without a store or a gas station. We have to drive 20 miles for gas and 75 miles for groceries.  HITCHCOCK: Those that did make the trek to Anderson say it was worth sleeping outside for two nights in minus 25-degree temperatures. In fact, Fairbanks residents Frank Schovel(ph) and Dave Wheat(ph) say they prefer the cold, even though they can barely hold their playing cards and have to warm their hands over a heater.  Mr. FRANK SCHOVEL: No problem.  Mr. DAVE WHEAT: Easy. The colder the better. Send the sissies home…  Mr. SCHOVEL: That's right. We don't have…  Mr. WHEAT: …let real men and women stay.  HITCHCOCK: Although the point of the land incentive is to draw new residents, many of those in line say they are planning just to build summer homes and there is no requirement that says you have to live in Anderson year-round. But if a 1,000-square-foot home isn't built within two years, the land reverts back to the city and a $500 refundable deposit is forfeited.  City leaders say they don't want to become Fairbanks. They just want to boost the population enough to help the local economy. The high school students who came up with the idea say they only have 14 kids in the school right now. Sophomores Britney Warner(ph) and Skye Sheppard(ph) hoped the free land will bring families.  Ms. BRITNEY WARNER (Student, Anderson High School): Tall people or basketball players, or just students in general would be fine for now.  Ms. SKYE SHEPPARD (Student, Anderson High School): We just want to get the numbers up in our school.  HITCHCOCK: The students also stood in line for a GI who called in from Iraq since he couldn't be there in person. They say they don't mind devoting their spring break to help bring good people to Anderson.  For NPR News, I'm Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Question: Listener: Hit By A Car, Helped By Negotiated Care Rates

Matthew Kime, a freelance photographer and Web designer in Brooklyn, bought health insurance coverage through a freelancers collective. Kime writes from WNYC land:  I consider myself someone young and healthy so I didn't see a point in buying the expensive plans that most people are used to. I did a lot math. To come out ahead, I'd have to go to the doctor about once a month. In a given year, I'm unlikely to go to the doctor at all.   The plan itself is very simple. Under $10k, nothing is covered. I consider to be bankruptcy protection rather than healthcare. However, I do get the negotiated rate for services and that's where things get weird.   Eventually I did make use of the plan. About a year ago I was hit by a car while riding my bike. Thankfully I walked away from the accident.  Read More >>  One concerned and very generous bystander called an ambulance which I refused to get into despite everyone's advice. I knew it would be a really expensive ride to the hospital and while I was very shaken, I felt fine. I literally couldn't find anything wrong with myself and if not for a bent wheel, I would have continued my ride home. Strangely, the EMTs can't do anything but haul you back to the hospital if you're conscious. If there was anything to check for at that point they were either unable or restricted from checking. More generally, this is a decision I don't think anyone with "real" insurance would have made.   A few days later I did go and see a doctor as my ankle had become swollen and bruised. The doctor thought it was likely broken and recommended me to a specialist to get xrays to confirm. The xrays proved I was fine and my ugly ankle was nothing to worry about. Services rendered -- Two doctor visits and one xray.   A few months later I got a statement from the insurance company regarding my first doctor's visit. It itemized the expenses, listed the amount the office charges and the negotiated rate. I have no idea what to do with this thing. It doesn't even provide an address to send payment. Then I get a statement from the doctor's office saying I owe the full amount. I don't remember how I figured out how to reconcile the bills but this is how it goes -- you send payment to the doctor for the amount itemized by your insurance company.   Doctor says, You owe $300.   I say, Here is $120, my insurance company says that's how much I owe.   Do we do business in that manner anywhere else in the country? If so, I'm unfamiliar with it.   And that's if things go properly. But they almost never do.   About nine months later I get a statement from the specialist saying that I owe x amount and that I'm 9 months late. I call my insurance company to see if they have my statement. As it turns out, the specialists didn't fill out the paperwork properly and the insurance company had been waiting for them to correct it. In particular, they needed a statement saying this wasn't a pre-existing condition. I don't know what can be less pre-existing than getting hit by a car but something must have gotten distorted in the game of telephone. A couple months later I get the complete paperwork. It's taken the doctor nearly a year to get paid.   And how much money did the negotiated rate save me? About 20 percent. That's not bad, but I saved more than 50 percent for the first doctor's visit and a visit to an allergist brought it closer to 70 percent.

Question: Friday News Roundup - Domestic

On Saturday, President Donald Trump made good on his promise to shut down the government over funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. When asked how long the partial shutdown might last, he responded, “Whatever it takes.” Congress has since returned to session, but a resolution seems distant. Politico reports:  Aides in both parties say they see little reason to believe anyone is budging over the funding of President Donald Trump’s border wall. Party leaders are now gaming out how the new Democratic House will react to a shutdown affecting a quarter of the government, and there are increasing worries that the funding lapse will persist for weeks, potentially deep into January. Both the Senate and House are scheduled to be in on Thursday afternoon, but no votes are expected and it’s unclear how many lawmakers will be back in town during a holiday week. It’s possible that neither chamber will vote again until Jan. 3, when Democrats assume the House majority.  This is the third shutdown of President Trump’s presidency. Who’s affected this time? According to the president, “most of the people not getting paid are Democrats.” But many federal workers have set the record straight about the impact of shutdowns across the aisle and throughout the different branches of government.
I am a federal contractor. I get no back pay so im losing 100% of my wages. I’m the sole provider and we have toddler and a baby. I often work long hrs that I don’t bill b/c I believe in the mission. Can’t begin to express the anger and frustration… Xmas ruined!#ShutdownStories — Hurricane Potty (@HurricanePotty) December 26, 2018
My husband is active duty Coast Guard. Everyone thinks the military is getting paid during the shutdown, but the Coast Guard is facing no pay on the 1st due to being DHS and not DoD. We live in NYC, pay over $2K/month in rent, have a toddler and one on the way.#ShutdownStories — Katy⚓ (@katyjb88) December 24, 2018   But this dispute isn’t the only immigration-related issue making headlines. On Christmas Eve, 8-year-old Felipe Gómez Alonzo, a detained migrant child from Guatemala, died after doctors had diagnosed him with a common cold. He’s the second minor to die in the custody of Border Patrol this month — once again raising questions about the care of undocumented immigrants at the border. From The Washington Post:  The deaths have shaken Border Patrol agents, migrants and advocates and ignited fresh concerns that a political impasse over border security is endangering children. Federal officials called the deaths a tragedy, noting that until this month no child had died in border custody for more than a decade, and said the Department of Homeland Security is investigating. Six adults died in CBP custody in 2018, officials said.  Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen called Felipe’s death “deeply concerning and heartbreaking.” She said the agency will adopt a “series of extraordinary protective measures,” including having the CDC investigate the surge in “sick children” crossing the border. Will conditions at the border actually improve? We’ll get to all that and more on the last Friday News Roundup of 2018. Text by Kathryn Fink.

Question: Resort Draws Investors With Immigrant Visa Program

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

Snow is plentiful, but working capital is always hard to come by in Jay -- a hardscrabble corner of Vermont. But Jay Peak, a popular resort just two miles from Canada, is cashing in using mountains of money from overseas. "We've raised almost $200 million of equity capital to transform Jay Peak from a winter-only ski resort to a true 52-week-a-year resort facility," says Bill Stenger, the owner of the resort. As American banks are keeping a tighter grip on their wallets, more and more equity capital is coming through another door -- from wealthy immigrants. In return for investing in an American enterprise that creates jobs, thousands of foreigners are getting green cards. In addition to about 80 well-groomed trails at Jay Peak, there's a snazzy hotel, an ice arena and a golf course. Construction has also begun on a huge water park with a retractable glass dome that will keep it toasty in the winter. Stenger proudly points to about 50 local workers, employed by the resort, operating American-made Caterpillar tractors. "They were all born and raised in this area -- went to North Country High School, the career center, some to Vermont Tech, and now they are working at Jay Peak building this facility," he says. A U.S. Investment Opportunity That Creates Jobs   Some of the work is being paid for by investors like Anthony Korda, a British lawyer who participated in the EB-5 visa program. The program, which was established by Congress in 1990, enables foreigners who are willing to invest at least $500,000 in U.S. businesses to obtain a green card. Korda invested the minimum $500,000 in Jay Peak, creating at least 10 jobs. The feds took a few months to trace the source of Korda's foreign money, and conducted background checks before issuing his green card. Now, he is an immigration lawyer in Naples, Fla., who connects other foreign investors to the EB-5 program -- and he's building a stylish new house in his adopted home. "The EB-5 program has given us a new life and, yes, it's given me a new business to go into," Korda says. "And it's an interesting one, too."   Interesting, because he helps clients from all over the world find the best, safest American projects to invest in. Nationwide Investment Centers Fill A Lending Void There are about 80 regional EB-5 centers nationwide, including one that covers the whole state of Vermont. Korda says the centers are popping up all over the place, now that equity capital isn't easy to get from American banks. But processing the visas can take months or even years, so investors are rushing to get in the pipeline for one of the regional centers before the scheduled sunset date in September 2012. "Unless Congress does renew the program permanently or again for a lengthy period, it starts to lose its appeal," Korda says.   Overall, there are 10,000 visas set aside for the EB-5 program -- a quota that is rarely met. Half are for investors who go through regional centers and invest a minimum of $500,000 in existing businesses. The other 5,000 visas are set aside for entrepreneurs who want to start their own business, however, this requires a minimum investment of $1 million.   To keep investors coming confidently into EB-5, its many bipartisan supporters are already trying to drum up congressional support for its renewal. They know that if it gets attached to a controversial immigration bill, it could get bogged down and expire. The investors who have climbed aboard have brought more than $1 billion into American businesses, generating tens of thousands of jobs. That's a point EB-5 cheerleaders will make, if they are faced with opposition from anti-immigration groups. RENEE MONTAGNE, host:  At a time when U.S. companies are producing relatively few new jobs, some wealthy immigrants are especially welcome. In return for investing in an American enterprise that creates jobs, a well-off foreigner can get a green card. Vermont Public Radio's Charlotte Albright takes us to a ski resort that's cashing in on the arrangement.  CHARLOTTE ALBRIGHT: �This season, snow is plentiful, but working capital is always hard to come by in this hardscrabble corner of Vermont. Bill Stenger owns Jay Peak, a popular resort only two miles from Canada. He's found mountains of money overseas.

Question: Russian Dissident Alexei Navalny Detained Immediately Upon Return To Moscow After Poisoning

After recuperating in Germany from a poisoning traced back to Russian labs in August, prominent Russian dissident Alexei Navalny returned to Moscow and was immediately detained at passport control by police. He was transferred to a police station just outside Moscow, and a makeshift court in the station ruled Monday he would be detained for another 30 days. Here & Now’s Robin Young speaks with NPR Moscow correspondent Lucian Kim about the developments. This article was originally published on WBUR.org.

This is a painting of man. But it's also a painting on a man. His skin and clothing have become a canvas for Alexa Meade, an artist based in Washington, D.C. The result is striking -– especially when the subject leaves his acrylic world. First-time viewers of these "Living Paintings" usually react in disbelief: "Wait, that's a real person?" Even Meade's first model, whom she painted back in 2009, mistook a photo of himself for a two-dimensional portrait. Once you've convinced your stubborn brain that yes, these are living figures with depth, breadth and breath, there is a kind of joy in knowing the secret. My favorite pieces are those in which the "real," unpainted world intrudes. I feel like I'm backstage -– I know the magician's trick. "I'm not painting on a static canvas," Meade says. "My brush strokes are a product of my mood and the mood of the model. It almost feels like a collaboration at times." Meade paints, photographs and destroys each piece in a single day (she can't send her subjects home covered in paint) so she has to work fast. Sometimes she uses a household broom as a brush to paint large sections and speed things up. "It's part of the adrenaline rush," Meade says. "Everything is in the moment — I can't take a step back to look over the painting. I just have to trust my instincts." On Wednesday I visited Meade's interactive installation at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. Two women, costumed in paint, posed and shifted and posed. It was a little eerie. Some paintings have eyes that follow you around the room but usually their bodies don't come along. Small windows cut into the backdrops invited viewers to occupy the artwork. I queued up with a few friends to have my photo taken; we all wanted a chance to disrupt the illusion. At the end of the day, Meade's models peel a thick layer of acrylic from their bodies and performance of the piece is over. What remains is portraiture in triplicate: A photo of a painting of a person, and the real person hidden somewhere underneath.

Question: Friday News Roundup - Domestic

The partial shutdown persisted through a second week, with no end in sight. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump met with congressional leaders who presented a package of bills, but the possibility of resolution remained distant. AP reports:  In public, Trump renewed his dire warnings of rapists and others at the border. But when pressed in private by Democrats asking why he wouldn’t end the shutdown, he responded at one point, “I would look foolish if I did that.” A White House official, one of two people who described that exchange only on condition of anonymity, said the president had been trying to explain that it would be foolish not to pay for border security.  Now, a new Congress has been sworn in. When will they reach a deal to end the shutdown? And how will a divided legislative branch set the agenda moving forward? Meanwhile, the shutdown has reverberated well beyond Washington — reaching federal employees, contractors, members of the Coast Guard and more. We spoke with many around the country who have been affected — you can hear that conversation here. As the government ground to a halt, the 2020 presidential race kicked into gear. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-MA, announced her candidacy on Monday, becoming the first major candidate to do so. Who else will join the race? From The New York Times:  The competition for the Democratic nomination is poised to be the most wide open since perhaps 1992: The party has no single leader, no obvious front-runner for 2020, and no broadly unifying ideology as it moves away from a quarter-century of dominance by the Clintons and Barack Obama. After a midterm election in which many women, liberals, minorities and young Democrats won, the presidential primaries and caucuses next year are likely to be fought over not only who is the right policy match for the party, but also which mix of identities should be reflected in the next nominee. The range of candidates will also force Democratic voters to consider which electoral approach is best suited to defeat Mr. Trump, balancing questions of ideological purity with how to appeal to a wide range of demographic groups like white rural voters, suburban women, college students, and black and Latino Democrats in the South and the Sun Belt.  And finally, while the dispute over the border wall remained stagnant, change was in the air for the president’s cabinet. On Wednesday, President Trump said he “essentially” fired Defense Secretary Jim Mattis last month due to his performance at the Pentagon (Mattis resigned). His successor, Acting Secretary Patrick Shanahan, made his debut as the president criticized the war in Afghanistan and called Syria a land of “sand” and “death.” And Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke left the Trump administration on Wednesday, amid investigations into his real estate dealings. Former oil lobbyist David Bernhardt has begun serving as his interim replacement. We’ll get to all that and more on the Friday News Roundup. Text by Kathryn Fink.

represent this short title to find a subtitle that might be right below it on npr

Given ['Represent this short title to find a subtitle that might be right below it on NPR', 'Foreign Policy: A Truly Conservative Defense Policy'], a positive would be ['Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR', 'Elbridge Colby has served in several national security positions with the U.S. Government, most recently with the Department of Defense. The views expressed herein are his own. In a recent Washington Post op-ed article, those paladins of muscular interventionism Danielle Pletka and Thomas Donnelly argue that American conservatism calls for placing the advancement of freedom abroad at the center of our foreign policy. This is surely a policy that is stirring and vigorous and one that calls upon traditions deeply rooted in U.S. history. But is it conservative? The answer has to be no. Of course there is no single "conservative" foreign and defense policy. But there are certain fundamentals of a conservative approach, fundamentals consistent with a conservative approach to domestic policy or the law or social life. Condensed, the conservative approach is animated by a deep sensibility for and humility in the face of the limits of what can be achieved by government and other organs of social rationality; by the central importance -- but difficulty -- of preserving and advancing liberty, order, prosperity, and good values in a complex and imperfect world; by an awareness of the often unpredictable dangers of excessive ambition; and by a profound sense that government is the servant of the people\'s interests, and thus should never risk its citizens\' lives or resources lightly. The Pletka and Donnelly article does not stem from these principles. Instead, their expansive policy approach emphasizing the paramount importance of promoting freedom abroad and the need to make an enormous expenditure of resources and lives in service of that goal very much resembles the aggressive liberal internationalism that President Kennedy eloquently summoned in his 1961 Inaugural Address, when he said that the United States would "pay any price, bear any burden, support any friend, oppose any foe in order to ensure the survival and the success of liberty." Conversely, whereas Pletka and Donnelly see the United States\' interests as almost boundless, a conservative approach would see not all interests as vital and would be willing to make the tough choices to distinguish the vital interests of the United States from the peripheral; whereas they dismiss the deleterious impact of the fiscal burdens of wars and large defense expenditures, a conservative approach would view these huge outlays with great concern; whereas they laud the ready willingness to spend American blood for international leadership, a conservative approach would emphasize that no government should risk the lives of its citizens save in cases of necessity. So what would a truly conservative foreign and defense policy look like? Such a policy would focus on separating the wheat from the chaff of what is truly important for protecting and advancing the vital interests of the United States rather than focusing on objectives, which, while worthy, do not have a significant impact on those interests. This would follow\xa0Dwight Eisenhower\'s guidance, given at the outset of World War II, that we should distinguish the essential from the merely important. (In this interconnected world, no one can credibly argue for old-school pre-World War II isolationism, both because it would be unsafe and because it would impoverish Americans financially and culturally.) This would mean giving priority to dealing with the grave threats to our security and to shoring up our long-term international position as well as our domestic fiscal and social health as opposed to seeking to expand (often vainly) the domain of liberal democracies and maximizing U.S. power and leadership today. So, under this logic, the United States could focus on deterring and containing Iran rather than insisting on near-term regime change in Tehran, as desirable as that may be. And Washington could concentrate on minimizing the terrorist threat from Afghanistan and Pakistan rather than aiming for the wholesale political, economic, and social transformation of the region. And we could emphasize our historical support for democracy and free markets, but see their spread as a good among goods (and often in conflict with other goods) but not the sole good and prioritize its promotion accordingly. The Pentagon could focus its modernization efforts on shoring up the capabilities we need to deter the gravest threats, such as with new nuclear delivery forces; to enable our continued dominance of the high-tech battlefield, such as with appropriate conventional strike and missile defense assets; and to combat the most serious terrorist threats, such as with advanced UAVs and persistent surveillance capabilities -- rather than on those capabilities suited for spreading freedom abroad, such as those designed for long counterinsurgency campaigns. And we could press our allies to shoulder far more of the burden of our collective security than they traditionally have, including, for instance, a Japan that increasingly perceives itsel'] & a negative would be ['Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth', 'Since what\'s said and written about a State of the Union address on the morning after can determine what\'s most remembered about such speeches, let\'s look at Wednesday\'s headlines: -- NPR\'s It\'s All Politics: "Obama To Congress: With Or Without You." -- The New York Times: "Obama Pledges Push to Lift Economy for Middle Class." -- CNN: "State Of The Union Brings Out More Of The \'Same Old, Same Old.\' " -- Politico: "Obama Calls For \'Common Sense\' Solutions." -- The Wall Street Journal: "Obama Urges Action On Expansive Agenda." -- Fox News: "Obama Presses For New Spending, Says Gun Control Bills \'Deserve A Vote.\' " -- Bloomberg News: "Obama Paints Wider Role For Government In Middle Class." -- BBC News: "Obama Pledges To Reignite Economy." -- The Weekly Standard\'s Fred Barnes (conservative): "There He Goes Again." -- Firedoglake\'s Kevin Gosztola (liberal): "Afghanistan Drawdown & the Covert Drone War."

Question: Excerpt: Gathering Prey

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

Chapter One Skye and Henry stood on a corner of Union Square on a fading San Francisco afternoon in early June, the occasional odor of popcorn swirling through, trying to busk up a few dollars. Skye saw the devil go by in his black '85 T-top, crooked smile, ponytail, twisty little braids in his beard. His skinny blond girlfriend sat beside him, tats running across her bare shoulders like grapevines, front teeth filed to tiny sharp points. Skye turned away, a chill running down her back. Henry was strumming on a fifty-dollar acoustic guitar he'd bought at a pawn shop. Skye played her harmonica and kept time with a half-tambourine strapped to one foot, jangling out into the evening, doing their version ofSt. James Infirmary, Henry banging between chords and struggling through, When I die, bury me in a high-topped Stetson hat... He did not sound like any kind of black blues singer from the Mississippi Delta. He sounded like a white punk from Johnson City, Texas, which he was. Skye was stocky with high cheekbones and green eyes. She wore an earth-colored loose knit wrap over a Sixties' olive-drab Army shirt, corporal's stripes still on the sleeves, and gray cargo pants over combat boots. Her hair was apricot-colored and tangled, with a scraggly braid hanging down her back. Henry was a tall apple-cheeked man/boy with a perpetually smiley face, dressed in a navy blue Mao jacket, buttoned to the throat, and matching slacks, and high-topped sneakers. Their packs sat against the wall of the building behind them, big, capable nylon bags, with a peeled-pine walking stick attached to one side of hers. Put a ten-piece jazz band on my tail-gate to raise hell as we roll along... They both smelled bad. They washed themselves every morning in public bathrooms, but that didn't eliminate the musty stink of their clothes. A laundromat cost money, which they didn't have at the moment. A cigar box on the sidewalk held five dollar bills and a handful of change. They'd put in two of the dollar bills themselves, to encourage contributions, to suggest that their music might be worth listening to. They weren't the worst of the buskers on the square, but they were not nearly the best, and in terms of volume, they couldn't compete with the horn players. As Henry wound down through the song, his shaky baritone breaking from time to time, Skye noticed the young woman leaning on a fire hydrant, watching them.Was she with the devil? She was the kind he went for. Thin but hot. Not blonde, though. The devil went for blondes. The young woman casually dressed in a loose, multi-colored blouse, jeans, and sneakers, each of those separate components suggested money: the blouse looked as though it might be real silk, the jeans fit perfectly, and even the sneakers suggested a secret sneaker store, one that only rich people knew about. Her dark hair had been styled by somebody with talent. Skye thought, Maybe with the devil – but if not, maybe good for a five? Even a ten? A ten would buy dinner and a cup of coffee in the morning...Henry gave up on the St. James Infirmary, said, "Fuck this. We ain't doing no good.""Don't have enough cash to eat. Let's give it another ten minutes. How about that Keb' Mo' thing?""Don't know the words yet..." He looked around the square. "We should have gone up to the park. Can't fight these fuckin' horns." The young woman, who'd been leaning against the fire hydrant, ambled up to them. She smiled and nodded to Henry, but spoke to Skye. "I don't give money to buskers...or panhandlers...because I'm afraid they'll spend it on dope. I got better things to do with it.""Well, thank you very fucking much," Skye said. Her voice was harshed by smoke and a good bit of that had been weed."You're a traveler," the woman said, showing no offense."You know about us?""Enough to pick you out," the woman said. "My name's Letty. What's yours?""Skye. My friend is Henry." Skye was calculating: This woman was either with the devil, or...she could be worked. And Skye was hungry."Let's go up to the park," Henry said."Hang on," Skye said. Back to the young woman: "If you won't give us money, could you get us a bite?""There's a McDonald's a couple blocks from here," Letty said. "I'll buy you as much as you can eat.""Them's the magic words," Henry said, suddenly enthusiastic, his pink face going even pinker. The two travelers shouldered their packs and Henry carried his guitar case and they started down Geary, walking toward Market Street, weaving through the tourists. "Where are you coming from and where are you going?" Letty asked. Skye said, "We were in Santa Monica for the winter, then we started up here a couple weeks ago, when June Gloom got to L.A. Planning to be here for a couple of weeks, get some money, then go on up to Eugene, and maybe Seattle." Henry said to Skye, "I could have sworn I saw Pilot go by a few minutes ago. I heard they were traveling this summer.""We stay away from that asshole," Skye said. "He's the devil.""Is not," H

Question: The Pacific Northwest Has Limited A/C, Making The Heat Wave More Dangerous

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

As record highs are being broken throughout the Pacific Northwest, the lack of air conditioning in many homes in such cities as Portland and Seattle could make an already brutal heat wave even more dangerous. The temperature in Portland spiked on Sunday to 112 degrees Fahrenheit, easily smashing the previous record of 108 from just the day before. The high in the city this time of year averages in the 70s.  In Seattle, it was so hot that the city closed a community pool due to "unsafe, dangerous pool deck temperatures," The Associated Press reports. A forecast discussion posted by the National Weather Service in Seattle/Tacoma on Sunday gave this sobering assessment: "As there is no previous occurrence of the event we're experiencing in the local climatological record, it's somewhat disconcerting to have no analogy to work with. Temperature records will fall in impressive fashion. Stay cool, stay hydrated." But staying cool could prove especially difficult in Seattle, which ranks as the least air-conditioned city in a comparison of the top 15 metro areas contained in the U.S. Census Bureau's most recent American Housing Survey from 2019. Nationwide, about 91% of U.S. homes have primary air conditioning installed, according to data from the American Housing Survey. By comparison, that figure is 78% for Portland and just 44% for Seattle.  "The Pacific Northwest, west of the Cascade mountains, has a history of very mild summers, so the need for cooling has not been a strong driving force,"  Wes Davis, the director of technical services for the Air Conditioning Contractors of America, wrote in an email to NPR. Meanwhile, for the service technicians who are being called on to repair existing air conditioning units during the current heatwave, "everyone is just swamped," says Dan Pfau, executive director of the Oregon Air Conditioning Contractors Association. "Every contractor in town is just deluged," he says of the OACCA's headquarters in Vancouver, Wash. Pfau tells NPR that the COVID-19 pandemic has made matters worse due to disruptions in supply chains for HVAC parts coming from Asia. According to the Mayo Clinic, a "lack of air conditioning" is one of several contributing factors in heat stroke — a condition that causes the body to overheat and can lead to death.  "Fans may make you feel better, but during sustained hot weather, air conditioning is the most effective way to cool down and lower humidity," according to the Mayo Clinic's website. Seattle has opened cooling centers in libraries, senior centers and other community facilities to offer residents a respite from the heat.

Before Carmencita Misa became bedridden, she was a veritable "dancing queen," says her daughter, Charlotte Altieri. "Even though she would work about 60 hours a week, she would make sure to go out dancing once a week — no matter what," Altieri, says. "She was the life-of-the-party kind of person, the central nervous system for all her friends." A massive stroke in March 2014 changed all that. It robbed Misa, 71, of her short-term memory, her eyesight and her mobility — and it left her dependent on a feeding tube for nourishment. Now, she lives in a nursing home. Altieri is 39 and lives in Long Beach, Calif., with her husband and two small children. She can't provide the 24-hour care her mother now gets at the nursing home three miles away — all of it paid by Medi-Cal. That's California's version of Medicaid, which is government insurance for low-income people. Advocates for the elderly now worry that Misa and other low-income seniors all across the U.S. who receive long-term care in facilities or at home could see their benefits shrink or disappear under Republican-proposed legislation to limit federal Medicaid contributions to states. The proposal is part of a broader GOP plan to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act. "My mom is getting the basic of basic care," Altieri says. "If they cut it, I don't know what to do." Nationwide, Medicaid provides long-term care and support to more than 2 million low-income Americans who are 65 and over. Medicaid is funded jointly by the federal government and the states and pays more than half of all long-term care in the country — "more than Medicare, private long-term care insurance and out-of-pocket spending combined," says Matt Salo, executive director of the National Association of Medicaid Directors. And, Salo says, it's the only public insurance that offers such care on an ongoing basis. Medicare, government insurance for people 65 and older, provides only limited long-term care to those who need it after being hospitalized. The GOP bill, scheduled for a vote on the floor of the House Thursday, would transform Medicaid from an open-ended system, in which the federal government matches state spending, to one that limits its contribution — either giving a fixed amount per enrollee, or a lump sum to the states. Critics say such caps on funding would not accommodate the inevitable hikes in cost that will come from the introduction of expensive new treatments or other cost variables. Congress has already amended the bill to allocate additional money for elderly and disabled people on Medicaid. But Eric Carlson, a directing attorney in the Los Angeles office of the nonprofit group Justice in Aging, says such an allocation would not offset the wide funding gap created by caps on federal spending. "It doesn't matter whether it's a block grant or per-capita cap," Carlson says. "Either way the federal government is setting a hard limit on federal funding available, and states are going to be forced to make due with whatever is sent to them. And it's not going to be enough." Carlson is co-author of an analysis released by Justice in Aging that says capping federal Medicaid spending, with either per-capita funding or lump-sum payments would harm older Americans, in part by forcing states to cut services for them "to the bone." "It's really a form of rationing, where you have the care based on the money that's been budgeted rather than on the needs of the people," Carlson says. "And that's entirely backwards." In 2015, Medicaid spending topped $552 billion nationwide. People who receive both Medicaid and Medicare, and people with disabilities account for more than half of overall Medicaid spending. In addition to helping low-income seniors with long-term care, Medicaid also helps pay for some of their Medicare premiums and copays. Under the GOP proposal, nursing care in a facility would remain a guaranteed Medicaid benefit, though states could reduce how much they spend on it if they were forced to cut their budgets. And Republicans might well attempt to loosen or undo federal requirements on the program, with subsequent legislation that would give states more control. Such a shift would "decimate Medicaid's current guarantee of adequate and affordable care," according to the Justice in Aging analysis. In the meantime, states could do away with benefits not guaranteed under federal law, which include at-home nursing care, personal care — which Medi-Cal covers for qualified beneficiaries — and even inpatient and nursing care in mental health facilities for the elderly. A report released last week by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office suggests states might cut provider payments or eliminate some of their optional services to fill the funding gap left by the restricted flow of federal money. But Oren Cass, a senior fellow with the conservative Manhattan Institute who specializes in anti-poverty law, says the current system leads to state o

Question: What Clinton's Victories Mean

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

With wins Tuesday in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island, the Hillary Clinton campaign says the race has turned a corner. Anthony Brooks talks to senior Clinton campaign adviser Ann Lewis about the primary results and why they won't "go negative." MADELEINE BRAND, host:   From the studios of NPR West, this is DAY TO DAY. I'm Madeleine Brand.   ANTHONY BROOKS, host:  And I'm Anthony Brooks, sitting in for Alex Chadwick.  The race for president shaken up yet again, this time by voters in Texas and Ohio.  BRAND: Barack Obama had won a dozen straight contests, but as the campaign heads toward Wyoming this weekend, Mississippi next week, and Pennsylvania next month, there's a different Democrat on a winning streak. It's Hillary Clinton. And here she is, along with some of the other candidates from last night.  CROWD: Hillary! Hillary!  Senator HILLARY CLINTON (Democrat, New York; Presidential Candidate): This nation's coming back and so is this campaign.  (Soundbite of cheering)  Senator BARACK OBAMA (Democrat, Illinois; Presidential Candidate): I want to congratulate Senator Clinton for running a hard fought race.  Governor MIKE HUCKABEE (Republican Presidential Candidate): I've finished the race and I've kept the faith.  (Soundbite of cheering)  Senator JOHN McCAIN: (Republican, Arizona; Republican Presidential Candidate): Now we begin the most important part of our campaign.  (Soundbite of cheering)  BROOKS: Republican Senator John McCain cemented his spot in this fall's general election with a sweep that gave him enough delegates to win his party's nomination.  BRAND: That race is over. The Democrats will continue to campaign.   BROOKS: We're joined now by Ann Lewis, who's been a close advisor to Hillary Clinton for more than a decade. Through various changes of fortune and personnel, she's remained a key strategist in Senator Clinton's presidential campaign and now holds the title of senior advisor.   Ann Lewis joins us from Austin, Texas.   And clearly with wins in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island, good night for Senator Clinton, but can the campaign really claim the momentum has shifted in its favor, or did Senator Clinton just fight off defeat for now?  Ms. ANN LEWIS (Advisor to Hillary Clinton): I think what Senator Clinton has claimed and will claim is that as voters in three very different, very important states took a good look at their choices for president, they decided that she would be the strongest nominee. And we go on from here to other states, including Pennsylvania, where once again hundreds of delegates will be at stake.  BROOKS: You mentioned hundreds of delegates in Pennsylvania, but even with these victories last night, Obama still maintains a lead in that all-important delegate count. And it's not clear that Senator Clinton can catch him. Doesn't Senator Clinton still have a big math problem when it comes to these delegates?  Ms. LEWIS: Well, this is a decision that will be made by Democrats. We're just in March 5th. We've got months to go.  BROOKS: So the Democratic race remains unresolved. Is the Clinton campaign prepared to fight this all the way to the convention? And if so, wouldn't that be potentially destructive to the party's chances in November?  Ms. LEWIS: Well, I'm - I must say - a little puzzle by a line of thought which suggests that the easier way for Democrats to win is to stop campaigning. There are millions of Democrats who are going to be looking at this election, not just Pennsylvania - Indiana, North Carolina, Nebraska, West Virginia, Oregon - these are states that we want to carry in the fall.   So I'd say it would be a strategic error, as well as a political error, for Democrats to say in the middle, uh-oh, we don't want any more information, we just want to stop. That isn't the way you win.  BROOKS: Senator Clinton was asked this morning on CBS whether she and Obama should be on the same ticket, and her answer was that may be where this is headed. Do you agree with that?  Ms. LEWIS: I never like to think about more than one election at a time. I think what we need to do...  BROOKS: OK. That's an artful evasion.   Ms. LEWIS: ...is just take our elections as they come and then other decisions get made later.  BROOKS: Let me ask you this, Ann Lewis. Finally, much has been made of the Clinton campaign strategy in the past few days, running that red phone ad suggesting that Obama lacks national security experience, that he's been wobbly on such issues such as NAFTA. We learn again and again that going negative works. Are we going to see more of that in the weeks ahead from the Clinton campaign?  Ms. LEWIS: Gee, I'm not sure why you would say going negative when what one had, for example, with the NAFTA issue was that Senator Obama and his campaign flatly said there was no meeting. And after four days a memo comes out from the Canadian government that describes the meeting.  BROOKS: Hmm.  Ms. LEWIS: Now, I think that was a matter of fact. And I think those are the kinds of issues

For instance you may be given '['Represent the headline to find a news subtitle on NPR with more details', 'Could Pot Help Veterans With PTSD? Brain Scientists Say Maybe']' and it should match with '['represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on npr', 'Veterans who smoke marijuana to cope with post-traumatic stress disorder may be onto something. There\'s growing evidence that pot can affect brain circuits involved in PTSD. Experiments in animals show that tetrahydrocannabinol, the chemical that gives marijuana its feel-good qualities, acts on a system in the brain that is "critical for fear and anxiety modulation," says Andrew Holmes, a researcher at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. But he and other brain scientists caution that marijuana has serious drawbacks as a potential treatment for PTSD. The use of marijuana for PTSD has gained national attention in the past few years as thousands of traumatized veterans who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan have asked the federal government to give them access to the drug. Also, Maine and a handful of other states have passed laws giving people with PTSD access to medical marijuana. But there\'s never been a rigorous scientific study to find out whether marijuana actually helps people with PTSD. So lawmakers and veterans groups have relied on anecdotes from people with the disorder and new research on how both pot and PTSD works in the brain. An Overactive Fear System When a typical person encounters something scary, the brain\'s fear system goes into overdrive, says Dr. Kerry Ressler of Emory University. The heart pounds, muscles tighten. Then, once the danger is past, everything goes back to normal, he says. But Ressler says that\'s not what happens in the brain of someone with PTSD. "One way of thinking about PTSD is an overactivation of the fear system that can\'t be inhibited, can\'t be normally modulated," he says. For decades, researchers have suspected that marijuana might help people with PTSD by quieting an overactive fear system. But they didn\'t understand how this might work until 2002, when scientists in Germany published a mouse study showing that the brain uses chemicals called cannabinoids to modulate the fear system, Ressler says. There are two common sources of cannabinoids. One is the brain itself, which uses the chemicals to regulate a variety of brain cells. The other common source is Cannabis sativa, the marijuana plant. So in recent years, researchers have done lots of experiments that involved treating traumatized mice with the active ingredient in pot, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), Ressler says. And in general, he says, the mice who get THC look "less anxious, more calm, you know, many of the things that you might imagine." Problems with Pot Unfortunately, THC\'s effect on fear doesn\'t seem to last, Ressler says, because prolonged exposure seems to make brain cells less sensitive to the chemical. Another downside to using marijuana for PTSD is side effects, says Andrew Holmes at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. "You may indeed get a reduction in anxiety," Holmes says. "But you\'re also going to get all of these unwanted effects," including short-term memory loss, increased appetite and impaired motor skills. So for several years now, Holmes and other scientists have been testing drugs that appear to work like marijuana, but with fewer drawbacks. Some of the most promising drugs amplify the effect of the brain\'s own cannabinoids, which are called endocannabinoids, he says. "What\'s encouraging about the effects of these endocannabinoid-acting drugs is that they may allow for long-term reductions in anxiety, in other words weeks if not months." The drugs work well in mice, Holmes says. But tests in people are just beginning and will take years to complete. In the meantime, researchers are learning more about how marijuana and THC affect the fear system in people. At least one team has had success giving a single dose of THC to people during something called extinction therapy. The therapy is designed to teach the brain to stop reacting to something that previously triggered a fearful response. The team\'s study found that people who got THC during the therapy had "long-lasting reductions in anxiety, very similar to what we were seeing in our animal models," Holmes says. So THC may be most useful when used for a short time in combination with other therapy, he says. As studies continue to suggest that marijuana can help people with PTSD, it may be unrealistic to expect people with the disorder to wait for something better than marijuana and THC, Ressler says. "I\'m a pragmatist," he says. "I think if there are medications including drugs like marijuana that can be used in the right way, there\'s an opportunity there, potentially."']' but not with '['Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth.', 'Stories: 1) Brain Injuries Haunt Football Players Years Later 2) How Traumatic Events Change Our View Of Language']'.

Question: Tinnitus: Why  Won't My Ears Stop Ringing?

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

Ringing in the ears, or tinnitus,  can be so annoying that a person with it can't sleep, think or work.  It's a  common problem for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.  But tinnitus can also  start for no apparent reason. That's what happened to Mark Church. He went to the dentist for a routine  visit 11 years ago, and soon after had an annoying buzzing sound in his ears.   The doctor said he had tinnitus. " 'Is there a pill or something you  can give me?' " Church asked. "He said, 'No, you don't do anything for it. And I  go, 'Well, when is it going to stop?' He says, 'It's not going to  stop.' " About 50 million Americans have  tinnitus, but Church is among the 2 million with severe symptoms. "I was having  panic attacks," says Church, now 50. "I couldn't sleep at night. I lost my  appetite. I was losing weight." The sound was so disruptive that  Church had to take a leave of absence from the software company he owns in  St. Louis, Mo. "I just could not sit through business  meetings," he says. "I couldn't carry out my responsibilities. I couldn't think  clearly."   A Problem In The  Brain? For a long time, doctors thought  tinnitus was a problem in the ears. But they now think it's more of a problem in  the brain. In the past 10 years, brain imaging has given clues that the tinnitus  "sounds" may be caused by a brain that is not connecting its various sections  clearly. Jay Piccirillo, a professor of otolaryngology at Washington University in St. Louis, is trying to reset those brain  connections by holding an electromagnet to people's  heads. "We think that perhaps that  electrical stimulation just clears away that pathological, or that faulty,  connection," Piccirillo says, "with the hope that the reconnections are more  normal and more healthy." Mark Church decided to try transcranial  magnetic stimulation as part of a clinical trial run by Piccirillo. The  two-week trial of daily transcranial magnetic treatments found no improvement in  participants, and Church dropped out of a second, four-week trial because he  thought it was making his tinnitus worse.  Piccirillo is analyzing the results  of that second trial to see if any patients benefited. He's also conducting a  study of military members deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, doing MRI scans of their  brains before and after deployment. The Defense Department is giving a  big boost to tinnitus research.  That's because 20 to 40 percent of soldiers  returning from Iraq and  Afghanistan have tinnitus due to  hearing loss caused by exposure to loud noise from gunfire, aircraft or  explosions. It is now the most common service-related disability, with  744,000 vets receiving compensation for tinnitus, according to the American Tinnitus  Association, an advocacy group. The fact that so many veterans have  tinnitus after being exposed to loud noises has made it clear that even if  tinnitus isn't generated in the ears, hearing loss is often involved. So some scientists are trying to  retrain the brain to quit paying attention. A Pacemaker For  The Ears Michael Kilgard, a neuroscientist  at the University of Texas in Dallas, is experimenting with vagus nerve  stimulation, a therapy used to treat epilepsy and severe depression. A  pacemaker-like device is used to send tiny jolts of electricity to the brain via  the vagus nerve in the chest. Kilgard says that instead of having  too many neurons listening to one tone — the tinnitus frequency — the treatment redistributes the resources evenly. "But trials with humans are just starting, so  relief will be years away, if it works at all," he  says. The Web is awash with untested  tinnitus "cures," many of them expensive. Church found his own cheap, simple  workaround, suggested by his wife: radio static. One evening when he was  tormented by tinnitus, she gave him an inexpensive personal radio and told him  to put on the headphones. "So I put it on, and I turned it  on, and I put it between stations — immediate relief. Oh, my God, this is  amazing.  I went from being a basket case to being able to function for the rest  of the evening within minutes." Now, Church says, he's able to  largely ignore the tinnitus at work, and turns to the radio static for relief in  the evening. It's a lot like living next to an airport.  "When you first move  in, you hear the planes go over every day. But after you live there for a while,  you figure that noise is not important to me. 'Cause the planes are going to  continue to come, they're not going to crash into my house. It just happens to  be where I live. So before you know it, you don't hear the planes anymore."
