Question: Top 40 In A Summer Of Discontent

To hear Ann Powers talk with NPR's Audie Cornish about some of the songs that might define the troubling summer of 2014, click the audio link on this page.  Those of us who are lucky enough to be technologically interconnected are currently enduring an overwhelming summer of discontent. To say so is to wring the obvious from a cliché. The information so easily available now, jumping onto mobile screens in pulsing letters, makes age-old problems immediate. Racism. Conflicts over land and human rights. Spreading disease. Environmental perils. Famous lives lost; obscure lives made famous through grotesque endings. All of it has happened countless times before. What might be new in our own time is the disconcerting mix of urgency and helplessness that overcomes everyone as we recline in our separate rooms, scrolling through the horrors on machines that only virtually connect us, thinking, this is happening right in front of me. I have to do something. Yet I'm so far away. Many people I know reached some kind of breaking point last week, during the unfolding conflict between police and citizens in Ferguson, Mo., following the shooting death of Mike Brown. Twitter and live-streaming independent media sources brought this violence close — as other demonstrators said in a different era, the whole world was watching. The lack of an interpretive context around what social media exposed made events seem both more palpable and more shocking. How to respond? Music-minded person that I am, I sought songs to share, not as any kind of solution, but simply as a way of witnessing. I chose Marvin Gaye and the gospel exhortations of Dorothy Love Coates. These were old, reliable semaphores. Would there be new ones soon, I wondered, to suit today's particular mood of time-lapsed urgency? During times of social crisis, music is a motivator and a comfort. Sometimes, artists address issues head-on, in protest or to cultivate compassion. More often, though, songs take on new meanings because of the times. Well-worn examples: "Respect," owned by Aretha Franklin, transformed from a lover's backtalk to an anthem of both feminist and racial pride. Stephen Stills wrote "For What It's Worth" about the trouble that arose upon the closing of a Sunset Strip nightclub, but it resonated differently in light of protests against the war in Vietnam. Alan Jackson found an audience directly addressing the 9/11 attacks in "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)," but so did Bruce Springsteen with "My City of Ruins" — actually written about Asbury Park, not New York, two years before the towers fell. Perusal of today's Top 40, however, seems to offer little that could be repurposed to express the summer's anxiety, fear and rage. The one song that resonated on social media during last week's Ferguson protests was "Turn Down For What?" the frantically commanding song by DJ Snake with the rapper Lil Jon. Its brief lyric about drinking in a club — fire up that loud, another round of shots — takes on ominous power in light of the role bullets (lead and rubber) have played in current events. People on Twitter were more attracted to the song's title — reinterpreted as a refusal to step down rather than a party cry to ramp up, it became a 21st-century equivalent of "we shall not be moved." In the moment, it proved effective, but there are limits of "Turn Down for What?" as a protest song, or even one that captures this summer's uneasiness. It's glib — best as a hashtag. And though the song's energy feels cathartic, it's actually contained within the ordered pulse of EDM. A genuine protest song soon surfaced, but it was not built to be a radio hit. J. Cole's "Be Free," posted to the North Carolina rapper's blog on Friday, quickly reached the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Trending 140 chart, which notes the fastest-moving songs on Twitter. The track is minimalist, based around a keyboard loop that recalls the dystopian trip-hop of Massive Attack and Tricky; that musical bed embodies a feeling of futility. Over it, Cole sings instead of raps. He might be crying. He sounds like he's thinking of Nina Simone singing "Mississippi Goddam," but he can't seem to muster her freeing rage; instead, he sounds exhausted. "Don't just stand around," he sings, exhorting protesters but also, perhaps, warning others who could face Brown's fate. Eventually Cole's voice gives way to a recording of Dorian Johnson, Brown's friend, who was with him when he died. Cole's beloved hip-hop, able to incorporate the sounds of real life, uneasily suggests that such sounds, now, are more powerful than what an artist can create on his own. Cole can only do so much to frame the sorrow audible in Johnson's voice. This makes the song almost unbearably painful for listeners, too. The sparseness and bald intensity of "Be Free" markedly contrasts with what dominates radio, in any decade, and particularly this year. It's not a song of the summer, though it will be an enduring artifact of this s

Question: What Was Our Most Recent Common Ancestor Like?

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

I'll take a break from thinking about human nature this week and instead riff on something that's more directly related to what goes on in my lab. I'll be lifting up some recent studies that have given us a whole new understanding of evolutionary history, specifically, the more than 1.5-billion-year history of our kind of creature, the eukaryote. The studies build on a global project, underway in hundreds of labs, wherein the genomes of numerous eukaryotes are being sequenced and their genes identified and compared, making use of increasingly sophisticated sequencing devices and computational algorithms. As more and more genome sequences have become available, it has become clearer that all present-day eukaryotes share a great many genes, meaning that they must share deep common ancestry. This has lead to the concept of a unicellular organism called the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of all eukaryotes, a creature to whom we eukaryotes are all directly related. Granted that taxonomies are in continuous states of revision, a consensus seems to be building that the eukaryotic MRCA gave rise to five mega-radiations or "super-groups," which each branched into numerous sub-radiations and eventually into countless modern-day species. These five supergoups have lovely if arcane names: the Unikonts (that includes us,) the Plantae, the Chromalveolates (including most marine algae,) the Rhizaria (you've probably never heard of any of them,) and the Excavates, including the two major players in our story. So what was our ancient MRCA like? Was it simple or complex? Was it similar to any known modern organism, or was it something altogether different? Read More >> Insights along these lines have come from studies of the Excavates, an eclectic group of related unicellular eukaryotes that includes a number of parasites, like the trypanosomes that cause sleeping sickness. A particularly intriguing excavate is a human intestinal parasite called Giardia, which some readers may have experienced after drinking from streams during a camping trip -- apparently it's not pleasant. Giardia is unquestionably a eukaryote, but in early studies it was found to have peculiar features: It lacked the mitochondria that are present in most eukaryotes; it lacked a sexual cycle and meiosis; and it had only about 6,000 genes, a low number for eukaryotes. Hence some thought that Giardia might resemble a very early version of the eukaryotic state, with mitochondria and sex added later on in evolution. This inference fell apart in three stages. First it was discovered that Giardia cells in fact have degenerate forms of mitochondria called mitosomes. It then became evident that unicellular parasites in general have far fewer genes than free-living unicells, presumably because they get much of what they need from their hosts, and hence genes encoding many functions degenerate because natural selection no longer operates to maintain them. But the biggest surprise was finding that the Giardia genome contains a set of genes-encoding proteins that are used only during the process of meiosis in sexual eukaryotes. Because such genes are present in the other analyzed supergroups as well, this means that the MRCA also engaged in a sexual cycle, fusing two haploid gametes to form a diploid zygote and restoring the haploid state via the elaborate meiotic process. The MRCA was starting to look quite complex indeed. Very recent insights have comes from a study of the genome of a second Excavate called Naegleria, a free-living unicell that inhabits the soil, crawling around amoeba-style to eat bacteria, growing flagella to swim to a new destination when the bacteria give out, and, if all else fails, forming a cyst around itself and hanging out until things improve. Naegleria proves to weigh in with 15,727 genes, right up there with the human (~23,000 genes). Again, the genes involved with meiotic sex are present, albeit Naegleria, like Giardia, has never been observed to engage in sex in the lab. Chandler Fulton, a Naegleri expert and one of the authors of the new report, tells me that he figures that they must be shy. The authors then went on to do an exhaustive search of numerous published eukaryotic genomes in four of the five supergroups (no Rhizaria genomes are yet available), the search criterion being that if a gene is found in Naeglaria and in at least one other supergroup, it was scored as having been present in the MRCA genome. The result: 4,133 genes, a number that is likely to be well on the low side of the MRCA endowment. The inventoried genes encode all the major protein families found in eukaryotes, including those involved in flagellar and amoeboid motility -- key eukaryotic traits -- and in the regulation of gene expression, including the recently discovered RNA interference system. Genes involved in photosynthesis are absent because this capacity showed up later in the Plantae and Chromalveolates, but most everything else appears to have b

Question: Not All Role Models Need Be Positive

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

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger apologized Monday for his behavior last month in a Georgia bar, where he was accused of sexually assaulting a 20-year-old girl. The apology came after the football star was cleared of all charges in the case, and followed a National Football League suspension taking him out of the first six games next season. But at a certain point, don't you just stop caring whether our athletes — who for some reason or other are always called "role models" — don't you just stop caring whether they behave? Don't you just want to say, "Let the thugs play"? OK, if they violate the statute law, fine, put them in the hoosegow. But really, otherwise, why are we expending so much angst worrying about the character of our well-muscled celebrities? I mean, it is hopelessly apparent that Roethlisberger is a perfectly dreadful person, prone to reprehensible behavior whenever he is let loose from the sanctioned violence of the gridiron. As Knute Rockne said many years ago: "The only qualifications for a lineman are to be big and dumb. To be a back, you only have to be dumb." To what earthly benefit is it to suspend Roethlisberger? Does it teach little, impressionable children a lesson? Is it going to make other football players pause and think about being a role model late at night when they are on the cusp of committing mayhem? I mean, let's give Roethlisberger credit. At least he wasn't packing a firearm like so many of his athletic brethren do when they are out taking the air these evenings. No doubt his enforced vacation will hurt the Pittsburgh Steelers, but then, somebody has to lose, so it will help some other team. The NFL will not be affected a whit, except in the sanctimonious sense that it can pat itself on the back for standing foursquare in support of goodness. What always confounds me is the premise that Commissioner Roger Goodell cited — as do the other so-called czars of sport — that their players "have to be held to a higher standard." But why? Why, pray, of all people, are athletes, pretty much alone in our society, expected to be sweeter than the average angel? It is politicians and clergy and those maestros of finance on Wall Street who ought to be held to a higher standard. Why aren't they ever called "role models?" Why can't some tearful little impressionable tyke sob, "Say it ain't so, Goldman Sachs, say it ain't so" — and thus change the pecking order in our cultural mythology? And speaking of role models, it's nice to know that Tiger Woods has issued another sincere apology, so bummed out, as he is, that he was surly and graceless and cursed on the course at the 2010 Masters golf tournament, all the little nasties he'd assured us he was going to take care of in prior sincere apologies. Perhaps Roethlisberger can join Tiger in his mystery rehabilitation. So let me close this jeremiad by showing how we can get around this emotional dilemma: We simply acknowledge that not all role models have to be positive. After all, by definition, the term just means modeling a role, exemplifying a position. Dracula, for example — was there ever a better role model for nefarious behavior? No. So once we understand that and accept that all our athletes are role models, we can stop fretting and get back to the games.

Close your eyes and cast your mind back to a bygone era, an ancient time that\'s difficult for modern man to fathom: 1988. At the time, Japan was an economic juggernaut, swallowing pieces of America like so much maki. Rockefeller Center, Universal Studios, Pebble Beach. "Where will Japan Strike Next?" screamed a typical headline, from Fortune magazine.  We now know that those fears were unfounded. Japan turned out to be a toothless tiger. But in years since, something funny happened, something that doesn\'t usually make headlines. Other countries have been slowly buying up pieces of America, from American supermarkets owned by the Dutch to American hotels owned by the British. "It\'s very extensive," says Clyde Prestowitz, president of the Economic Strategy Institute. Most of these nations are clearly U.S. allies; no one stays up at night worrying about the threat posed by America\'s biggest foreign investor: Canada. But invariably security concerns do crop up. "For example, we are dependent on India for much of our software," says Harlan Ullman, a senior advisor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington D.C. think tank. "So is that a vulnerability? Is that something we should worry about?" The answer is not always so simple. Does "national security" mean only protecting against terrorist attacks? Or does it extend to economic and energy security as well?   Some U.S. lawmakers clearly think the answer is yes. They recently squashed China\'s bid to buy the American oil firm, UNOCAL. U.S. law prohibits foreigners from owning airlines or TV stations in this country. But any international deal that might pose a security risk is reviewed by an inter-agency panel with the unwieldy acronym of  CFIUS-the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. One deal that  the CFIUS  recently approved was allowing a Chinese firm to buy IBM\'s personal computer business for more than a billion dollars. It might seem like America is being sold off piece by piece, but some say that is not the case. "The vast majority of foreign purchases in the United States are just pieces of paper," says Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. "They\'re buying up U.S. Treasury securities. They\'re not buying actual pieces of America." True, but those pieces of paper matter. Foreign nations own nearly $2 trillion in U.S. bonds, and that translates into leverage. Some analysts imagine a scenario where China, for instance, uses its leverage to cause real problems in the United States. "The possibility exists that they would get upset with us at some pint and sell dollars," says Clyde Prestowitz. "And if they sold all those dollars right away, the value of the dollar would plummet, interest rates would spike and the U.S. would go into a recession."  That scenario, while unlikely, poses just as much of a national security threat as an Arab company handling security at major American ports, says Prestowitz.  \tOthers, however, say the real problem with keeping vital American assets out of enemy hands is defining the enemy. During WWII and the Cold War, that was fairly simple. Not so in the war on terrorism. "We don\'t know who the bad guys are, and every time some seemingly good guy tries to buy something of ours we\'re going to worry there are bad guys behind them," says Holtz-Eakin. "That is part of business as usual in this environment." ALEX CHADWICK reporting:  Okay. The controversy over the port deal raises concern about foreigners owning all kinds of pieces of America, at least in places. As NPR\'s Eric Weiner reports, it\'s not for the first time.  ERIC WEINER reporting:  Close you eyes and cast your mind back to a bygone era, an ancient time that\'s difficult for modern man to fathom: 1988. Japan is an economic juggernaut, swallowing pieces of America like so much teka-maki: Rockefeller Center, Universal Studios, Pebble Beach. Where will Japan strike next? screams a typical headline. Well, we now know that those fears were unfounded. Japan turned out to be a toothless tiger.  But in the years since, something funny happened, something that doesn\'t usually make headlines. Other countries have been slowly buying up pieces of America. Clyde Prestowitz is the president of the Economic Strategy Institute.  Mr. CLYDE PRESTOWITZ, Jr. (President, Economic Strategy Institute): The supermarkets in the U.S. are owned in Holland. And a lot of the hotels in the U.S. are owned in the U.K. A lot of the semiconductor industry in the U.S. is foreign ownership. I mean it\'s very extensive.

Question: In An Unusual Move, The EPA Tries To Pull A Pesticide From Market

Chances are, you've never heard of flubendiamide. It's not among the most toxic insecticides, and it's not among the widely used chemicals, either. In recent years, it has been used on about a quarter of the nation's tobacco and 14 percent of almonds, peppers and watermelons. But flubendiamide is now at the center of a public dispute between the Environmental Protection Agency and the company that sells it, Bayer CropScience. That dispute is arousing fear in the pesticide industry — and hope among activists who are pushing for the EPA to regulate pesticides more tightly. The EPA wants to cancel its approval of this pesticide. The agency says that there is now evidence that this chemical will accumulate in streams and lakes, where it will kill off small, freshwater creatures like snails and crabs that play a crucial role in the entire web of aquatic life. But the real reason that this decision is attracting so much attention is that flubendiamide is just one of thousands of pesticides that the EPA approved on a "conditional" basis, pending the results of further studies that were required to assure that agency of the chemicals' safety. The pesticide industry fears — and anti-pesticide groups hope — that many other chemicals, also approved conditionally, soon could face increased EPA scrutiny as well. "We're really encouraged that the EPA went for cancellation" of flubendiamide's approval, rather than a lengthy process known as a "special review," says Kristin Schafer, policy director at the Pesticide Action Network, or PAN. Conditional approvals allow the EPA to OK a pesticide when the benefits of using it outweigh any apparent risks — such as in a public health emergency. But pesticide critics such as PAN and the Natural Resources Defense Council have criticized the EPA's heavy reliance on this process. They say it has turned into an easy way for companies to start selling their products without really proving that their products meet legal safety requirements — and that the EPA seldom follows up. In the case of flubendiamide, the EPA was concerned, from the beginning, about the possibility that the chemical would accumulate in water. The agency has now concluded that this is likely. The company that sells the pesticide, Bayer CropScience, is refusing, so far, to stop selling the chemical. The company says that the EPA is relying on computer models that overstate the environmental risks, rather than observations of flubendiamide in the real world. The company is insisting on a hearing before an administrative law judge at the EPA in order to make its case.

Question: Germany Says Terror Plot Against NATO Base Foiled

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

Massive terrorist attacks on a major U.S. and NATO military base and international airport in Germany were just days from being carried out when three alleged plotters were arrested, authorities said Wednesday. The three men, arrested late Tuesday, had trained in Pakistan terror camps and obtained about 1,500 pounds of hydrogen peroxide for making explosives, German federal prosecutor Monika Harms said.  "Possible targets for the suspects were places Americans went - for example nightclubs, bars or airports. In front of those facilities, cars loaded with explosive devices were to have been detonated and a high number of people were to have been killed or injured," said Harms. A senior U.S. State Department official said the suspects planned to attack Ramstein Air Base — a major U.S. and NATO military hub — and Frankfurt's international airport. A top German legislator said the group could have struck "in a few days," noting a "sensitive period" that includes the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.       Officials said the hydrogen peroxide, stored in a hideout, could have been mixed with other additives to produce a bomb with the explosive power of 1,200 pounds of TNT. "This would have enabled them to make bombs with more explosive power than the ones used in the London and Madrid (transit) bombings," Joerg Ziercke, the head of Germany's Federal Crime Office, said at a joint news conference with Harms. "There was an imminent threat," German Defense Minister Franz Josef Jung told ARD broadcaster.       The three suspects - two Germans and a Turk - first came to the attention of authorities because they had been observing a U.S. military facility at the end of 2006, officials said. All three had undergone training at camps in Pakistan run by the Islamic Jihad Union, and had formed a German cell of the group. The three suspects were brought before judges in a closed proceeding at Germany's Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe after being flown in by helicopter, court officials said. The Islamic Jihad Union was described as a Sunni Muslim group based in Central Asia that was an offshoot of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, an extremist group with origins in that country.       Prosecutors in Karlsruhe said the arrests were made Tuesday afternoon, and that police had also conducted nationwide searches. The German reports came a day after Denmark authorities said they had thwarted a bomb plot when authorities rounded up eight alleged Islamic militants believed to have links to al-Qaida. Wolfgang Bosbach, a top legislator for German Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats, said that "the suspects had been under observation by security officials for a long time."       "Consequently, we know without any doubt that they were planning attacks that would have had considerable consequences," he told N24 television, adding that the three had acquired chemicals for the plot. Bosbach said an attack could have occurred "in a few days" and pointed out the Sept. 11 anniversary, as well as parliamentary deliberations in the next few weeks over whether to extend troop mandates in Afghanistan.       Ramstein is one of the best-known U.S. Air Force bases worldwide because it serves as a major conduit for U.S. troops moving in and out of Europe, Asia and the Middle East. It is a key transit point for injured troops from Iraq and Afghanistan who are flown there to be taken to nearby Landstuhl. Besides U.S. personnel, British, French, and other international forces are also located there. Frankfurt International Airport is Europe's third-busiest airport, handling hundreds of in- and outbound flights to and from the Americas, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Europe. In July, a record 5.2 million passengers arrived or departed from the airport. German and U.S. officials have warned of the possibility of a terrorist attack, and security measures have been increased. Navy Capt. Jeff Gradeck, spokesman for the U.S. military's European Command in Stuttgart, said German authorities had contacted them concerning the alleged plot, but had no further information. "We extend our gratitude to Germany for their efforts in protecting us," Gradeck said.       Germany, which did not send troops to Iraq, has largely been spared terrorist attacks such as the train and subway bombings in Madrid and London - although its involvement in the attempt to stabilize Afghanistan against Islamic insurgents has led to fears it might be targeted.      In July 2006, two bombs were placed on commuter trains but did not explode. Officials said that attempt was partly motivated by anger over cartoons portraying the Prophet Muhammad in a Danish newspaper. Several suspects are on trial in Lebanon, and a Lebanese man has been charged in Germany. The Tuesday arrests in Denmark sent jitters through a country that was the focus of Muslim anger and deadly protests over the cartoons. Jakob Scharf, head of the PET intelligence service, said that the eight suspec

Question: Michele Bachmann Misstatement Streak Continues

Rep. Michele Bachmann is quickly turning into a one-person, full-employment act for fact-checking reporters. Just Tuesday during a CNN interview, Bachmann made statements in which she demonstrably misstated or stretched the truth. The irony was that much of what American Morning anchor Kiran Chetry focused on in the interview was the negative impact Bachmann's penchant for misstatement was having on her run for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. For instance, in an apparent attempt to make her emergence on the national stage seem even more spectacular than it already is, she said:  "Again, we just got into the race yesterday and according to national polls, they are finding we are second in the race, which we're very excited about..." (It's at about the one minute mark of the video.)  Read More Bachmann, of course, has been in the race for months. On Monday what she did was make a formal announcement in Waterloo, Iowa. But Bachmann has been working the state hard since January in all the ways you'd expect of someone who's running. Also, two weeks ago she had her strong showing at the Republican presidential debate in St. Anselm College in New Hampshire which spurred a wave of free national media. At that June 13 debate, she said she filed her presidential campaign paperwork that very day. Her statement also makes it sound like she's in second place in national polls behind Romney. She's actually in second place in Iowa. Big difference. And as Chetry noted, Bachmann is at the back of the pack in New Hampshire, polling at 4 percent, behind former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani who isn't even officially in the race. At the 3:23 point in the video of the CNN interview, comes another Bachmann statement that is easily disproven:  "President Obama said himself in February 2009 if he can't turn the economy around by the third year of his presidency, that he should be a one-term president. I agree with him."  Unfortunately for Bachmann, that's not what he said. What Obama actually said in his interview with NBC's Matt Lauer was:  "I will be held accountable. I've got four years and a year from now, I think people are going to see that we're starting to make some progress, but there's still going to be some pain out there. If I don't have this done in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition. "  Obama didn't say he was or would be making that proposition. He clearly isn't. He's running for re-election, after all. He was simply acknowledging that it's harder for a president to be re-elected when unemployment is high and other economic indicators are unfavorable. It was his Republican opposition that would be making that proposition that he should be a one-termer. And so they are. An obvious question: Why would a presidential candidate make statements so easy to disprove? What is that about? Adding to her reputation for bending or downright ignoring facts, Glenn Kessler at the Washington Post examined statements Bachmann made over the last few days. He wound up awarding her two Pinocchios, meaning many of the statements he looked at were problematic. Also on Tuesday, in an interview with George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America she stood by her statement that the Founding Fathers worked "tirelessly" to end slavery. They didn't, of course. No one who is a serious student of American history, as one might expect a major party presidential candidate and member of Congress to be, can say that with a straight face. But that didn't appear to matter to her.

Question: Transcript: Hillary Clinton's Full Interview With NPR's Rachel Martin

Ten months after losing the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton is out with a memoir, What Happened. Morning Edition host Rachel Martin talked to Clinton about her book, the election's outcome and how she's carried on. Here's the full transcript of their conversation. The audio on this page is an edited version of the interview that was broadcast on Morning Edition.  Rachel Martin: Hillary Clinton joins us now from her home in Chappaqua, New York. Secretary Clinton, thanks so much for being here.  Thank you so much, Rachel. How's being home? It's actually great. It is wonderful being home having time to putter around clean closets spend, you know, long days going for walks, seeing my grandchildren, taking friends out to dinner. So it's not where I wanted to be, but it is a great reminder of what more there is to do in life and what the future can be like. I'd like to start our conversation about your new memoir by asking you to recount a particular event. This is a campaign event that you did in Mingo County, West Virginia, a town called Williamson. This is coal country, and you had met many voters there weren't happy with you. They were angry over comments that you had made around that time about wanting to "put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business." So you knew this was going to be a tough appearance and you wrote in the book the following quote: "All I knew for certain was they were angry, they were loud and they hated my guts." Can you just describe what that day felt like to you and what it signified as you moved forward in your campaign?  Well, it was a particularly difficult, even painful day because I had made clear for years, starting back in my 2008 campaign, that I understood what was happening in the changing fortunes of coal, that were largely global market forces, but also a growing recognition of the challenges that climate change posed. And I had given a number of speeches. I had a very well-developed plan to invest money into the area, and then in the midst of explaining that I said a sentence which I would, you know, I regretfully say, was taken out of context, blown up, and really was a rallying cry for people and others who were running the campaign against me to come out and blow this up out of all proportion. Now my campaign said, really, there's no point going to West Virginia because Democrats haven't won it in years. It didn't matter whether you said something or not, a Democratic candidate was not going to win it. But I felt a personal responsibility to the people in that state who had been good to me in the past, and to my husband, and I also wanted to make clear that I was much more than one gaffe, and I had a very strong commitment to helping them, so off I went to Mingo County, and when I got out of the car, when I got to the health center that I was going to be visiting, there was a large, very vocal demonstration against me, and the people were yelling all kinds of insults and attacks. And in the crowd was a man named Blankenship, who had just been convicted — in fact, was on his way to jail — for the negligent deaths of a number of the coal miners that his company employed. So it was a fraught, really incredibly difficult time. I went inside and met with a group of people who were trying to do what I think we should be doing in communities like the ones I was visiting across our country, particularly in rural and small town America. They were trying to make things better. So this health center, which had been strongly supported with federal dollars, was providing better health care with a particular emphasis on the opioid crisis. We sat and talked through what more could be done. And one of the people who was there at the invitation of the health center was a laid-off coal mine employee, and I talked with him and his wife. He was really emotional about what it meant to lose that job. He talked about how hard it was to tell his children. They were getting by on his wife's income from her small business. He was also angry at you for those comments that you made.  Well, he was. He was angry at me because of the comments, but his anger, his disappointment, his fear was much broader than that. And that's what I was trying to address, and to tell him, "Look, I'm sorry that what I said came across that way and that's not what I at all meant. In fact, I have a record of trying to help areas like this and I have a plan to do just that. But I understand." And we did talk about what it felt like for him, a very proud man, to be unemployed. And I never doubted the hurt and the anger that so many people were feeling around our country, not just in West Virginia, but I thought what my job was to do as a candidate for president was to tell people what I could do for them if they gave me the chance to serve and that's what I tried to do even that day. And you decided to include that anecdote for a reason. I mean, what did it signify to you? Is that when you starte

Question: Kenyan Talks Resume After Second Killing

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

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon has joined efforts to calm post-election violence in Kenya. Negotiations to end the crisis were postponed Thursday after a second opposition lawmaker was killed — one of more than 850 deaths in a month of unrest. Those talks are now under way again. The violence that began as an argument over a national election has drawn out Kenya's underlying ethnic and tribal tensions and created a crisis that may be unprecedented in Kenya's history. STEVE INSKEEP, Host:  The United Nations secretary-general is the latest world leader hoping to end a conflict that started with an election in Kenya. M: Violence continues, threatening to escalate to catastrophic levels. I call upon the leaders of Africa to urge the leaders and people of Kenya to calm the violence and resolve their differences through dialogue and respect for the democratic process. INSKEEP: NPR's Ofebia Quist-Arcton is in Nairobi. And how did the talks go, Ofebia? OFEBIA QUIST: The talks are happening. In fact, they began yesterday, Steve. But an opposition MP was shot dead in western Kenya. That sparked trouble, and Kofi Annan, the former U.N. secretary-general, who's mediating, felt it was better to let everybody deal with that crisis. But they're back talking today. So we have two secretaries-general, one former, one current, of the U.N. All this heavyweight diplomatic intervention is to try and calm more than a month of violence here triggered by a disputed election, but which has ballooned now into an ethnic conflict. INSKEEP: What has made it such a wider conflict? QUIST: President Mwai Kibaki, who was reelected in the contested vote, says he is the rightful leader. And because of this problem, Kenyans are now fighting each other, tribes against rival tribes, those who support the president against those who support the opposition leader. And it has left hundreds of thousands of people displaced - women, children, the elderly, driven from their homes, some burned in their homes - between 800 and 900 dead because of an election issue. Everybody in the world, the international community, Kenyans themselves, want peace. They want an end to this incredibly brutal violence. INSKEEP: Does it appear the different ethnic groups, Ofebia, are suffering equally or are equally guilty? QUIST: So now we're into retaliation and a spiral of violence that many people are worried cannot be controlled either by the security forces or by the politicians, who have been accused of manipulating the people here in Kenya and of fueling this sort of ethnic conflict. But now we have roving gangs of young men, unemployed, from the different ethnic groups, taking the law into their own hands. Kenya has not seen such a crisis. It's had problems of ethnicity before, but nobody had imagined that a disputed election would lead to this. INSKEEP: Ofebia, thanks very much. QUIST: Always a pleasure. INSKEEP: NPR's Ofebia Quist-Arcton bringing us the latest news from Nairobi, Kenya, where the United Nations secretary-general is now among those trying to bring peace after an election dispute.

Question: A Very Weird Photo Of Ulysses S. Grant

Swim around enough in the oceanic photo archives of the Library of Congress and you will spot some strange things — including old doctored photos of two-headed humans and a man-monster superimposition. But perhaps nothing as bizarre as this photo — labeled General Grant at City Point. Look at it closely. Notice anything amiss? The photo is a composite shot of several pictures — pieced together for effect more than 100 years ago. A faux photo fashioned long before Photoshop, which was introduced in the late 1980s. According to the library, "this photograph is a montage or composite of several images and does not actually show General Ulysses S. Grant at City Point." Notes on the photo explain that the scene was concocted — perhaps by L.C. Handy circa 1902 — from a trio of photos. Call numbers of the prints are provided, so we can reconstruct the deed. Or misdeed, depending on your sensibilities. The head comes from a June 1864 portrait of Union leader Grant standing next to a tree in Cold Harbor, Va. The horse and the rider's body were borrowed from a July 1864 photo of Maj. Gen. Alexander McDowell McCook. And the setting can be found in this 1864 photo of Confederate prisoners who were captured in the battle of Fisher's Hill, Va., and put under Union guard. Negative Development The "extravagantly fictitious fusion" was featured in Faking It: Manipulated Photography Before Photoshop, a companion book to a 2012-2013 Metropolitan Museum of Art trick-photography exhibit. According to the book, the probable photo magician was Levin Corbin Handy, a Washington, D.C., photographer who was an apprentice to — and nephew of — legendary 19th century photographer Mathew Brady. When Brady died in 1896, Handy inherited a cache of negatives from his studio and began "producing new prints from the negatives and licensing images to various publications. To satisfy the steady demand for heroic images of the war fought by the fathers and grandfathers of his turn-of-the-century clientele, he also invented new pictures that casually blurred the line between historical fact and fiction." Brady had spent a fortune "sending teams of photographers to the battlefields, trusting that the public would buy prints of Civil War scenes, and that the U.S. government would recognize their historic value and purchase the negatives," says William B. Becker, creator of the online American Museum of Photography. Unfortunately, "it was only during the final years of Brady's life," Becker says, "that Civil War veterans had enough distance from the death and devastation and the horrors of America's deadliest war for the photographs to become commercially viable." And what would Uncle Mathew — known to have tampered with a photo himself now and then — have thought of nephew Handy's handiwork? "My guess is he would have preferred one of the many great portraits of Grant taken in his own studio or by his camera operators in the field," Becker says. "The Handy composite shows nearby soldiers disrespectfully turning their backs on their commanding general. A sentry and groups of soldiers a short distance away gaze off towards nothing in particular or chat idly, rather than gathering around to watch the spectacle of a high-ranking military leader posing for posterity." Some composites, Becker adds, "manage to preserve the ring of truth that makes authentic photographs compelling. This one violates our understanding of human nature."

Question: Cyberbegging Takes Panhandling Online

Each year, more and more people are going online for their holiday shopping, but in these hard times, the Internet is also becoming a place where people in need can ask for a handout.  There are thousands of appeals on craigslist and on other Web sites devoted to begging, such as Begslist, CyberBeg and DonateMoney2me.com.  And the appeals are heart-wrenching. A single mom with no money to pay her bills; an unemployed construction worker about to lose his house. And, of course, lots of families who can't afford gifts for Christmas.  Certainly some of these appeals are scams, but many appear to be legitimate pleas for help. Michael Arthur of Frederick, Md., says he debated for weeks before placing an ad called "Santa, Are You Out There?" on craigslist: I'm a partially disabled single father with two young sons, seven and eight. They deserve to get a few nice toys and things for Christmas. They are really good kids. I don't make enough money to be able to buy them anything. ... If anyone out there could possibly help me obtain a few toys for my children please let me know. I hate to beg, but I will for my children. Arthur works at a local veterinarian's office, despite his back problems. But he's had a hard time making ends meet. So he decided it was worth a shot. Arthur says the bad economy forced him to swallow his pride. "I mean, it's kind of embarrassing to have to do something like this, but I figured maybe there'd be somebody out there who'd be willing to help out for Christmas, you know, just a couple of toys or something," Arthur says. But so far, no luck. He says three people responded but only one seemed really interested in helping, and Arthur didn't hear back after he sent a detailed list with his sons' clothing sizes and what they might want. Tarisha Burton of Durham, N.C., posted a craigslist ad called "Adopt a Family For Christmas." Burton is an unemployed, single mother of three. She says she gets some public aid, but not enough for gifts. "I'm not trying to be greedy at all, no way, no how," Burton says. "It's just, I would like my kids to have a decent Christmas this year." But again, no response. She and others say that could be because there are so many people looking for help. Many say they've tried local charities, but they, too, are overwhelmed with requests. Still, Burton says she'd never think about going out on the street to beg. "I think it's a little bit more discreet," Burton says. "I don't know, to me, it might be a little bit more embarrassing actually going out on the street, you know, begging for somebody to help me for something." According to Rex Camposagrado, founder of Begslist, a free online begging site, "Doing it online is a little bit more private." Camposagrado created Begslist a few years ago when his own Internet business went under and he was out of work. He had also had a bad experience begging online. Some sites charged him money — which he says didn't make sense — since that's what he needed. "I thought it should be a free thing. If people on the street are begging, they're not asked to pay a fee to beg on the street," Camposagrado says. And indeed, some sites charge up to $45 a month. DonateMoney2me.com says that's so it can provide better services, including advice on how to enhance an online appeal by using phrases such as "with your help, we can go on" and "your generosity can give a new lease on life." Of course, the big question hanging over all this is how much of it's real. Camposagrado says his site, like others, warns donors and beggars alike about possible fraud. "If you see a posting that's from overseas, with like a U.K. address, and the story that they're telling is in broken English and it's very hard to understand. A lot of times, it's made by a scammer," Camposagrado says. He also suggests that people use safeguards such as PayPal instead of checks or money orders. Craigslist has similar advice and says users should only deal with those they can meet in person in a public place.  Michelle Santos of Richmond, Va., says it's advice she has taken to heart. She posted an ad last month asking for toys and clothes, which she plans to give to the needy. "A lot of people do try to scam one another, but honestly, you run across families that are in true, true need," she says. She says she knows this because she visits the families first.  Her ad attracted some donations, but she also got 900 e-mails from people looking for help. She hopes to help about 100.
