Question: In Broad Daylight, Baghdad Burglars Steal Gold, Kill At Least 14 People

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

There has been a string of armed robberies in Iraq's capital. According to NPR's Peter Kenyon, on the ground in Baghdad, at least 14 people were killed in the heists, which took place in Baiyaa, a neighborhood known for its jewelry shops and currency exchanges. Police, having cordoned off the area, continue to search for the robbers. According to the Associated Press, citing Baghdad police officials, the gunmen arrived "in five cars shortly before noon, their faces covered with traditional Arab head scarves. They set off a roadside bomb near the shops, killing four bystanders and wounding three." Officials told Kenyon that, as robberies become more and more common in Iraq, there is "speculation that ... some militant groups may be resorting to robbery to fund their activities." Yesterday, a candidate from the Iraqiya Slate, the leading vote-getter in the March elections, was assassinated in Northern Iraq. Police say they have detained two men after the shooting.

Question: Why Do People Hate Rap And Opera?

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

So what's wrong with rap and opera? Not much, really. Except that last week when we asked readers to name their musical blind spots (genres or bands they ignored, either by choice or neglect) a distinct refrain emerged within the responses. Two examples:  "Oh, and by the way, rap is not music. It is mostly a bunch of meaningless drivel by people with no real talent and who certainly should not get paid." "Very little of opera is worth bothering with and even then only as instrumental music rather than as the sounds of tortured cats."  It was clear that opera and rap, more than any other genres, hit some kind of nerve with people. And it's a fact that seems to hold true far beyond our highly unscientific social media polling. But why? Read More About Opera And Rap For some people, taste — why we dislike one thing and prefer another — is complicated. It's connected to self-esteem, personal branding and creating social divisions based on things like class and education. In a 1996 article for the American Sociology Review, Bethany Bryson attempted to show that people use their musical tastes to erect what she calls "symbolic boundaries" between themselves and others. There's little doubt that both rap and opera have traveled with significant prejudicial (if stereotypical) baggage: Opera is for rich, white, elderly snobs; rap is made by poor, young, black thugs. Some people reject both groups, while others relish degrees of perceived inclusion. Bryson would say perceptions help determine musical choices and vice versa. On a less academic level, I asked a couple of my NPR Music colleagues to weigh in. For Bob Boilen, creator and host of All Songs Considered, social structures, he says, have nothing to do with it. It's all about communication. The languages of rap and opera just don't speak to him. "If the crux of the music is focused on the words and if the words don't relate to the listener then it's all is a big disconnect," he says. But he's willing to admit exceptions, including the mournful strains of Portuguese fado: "I don't care what they're singing about, I'm with them." Frannie Kelley, who swims in the world of rap like I do in opera, agrees that at first glance the two genres would appear to have little in common. Digging deeper, one can argue that there are many connections, not least of which is the obsessiveness of each genre's most dedicated aficionados. Opera fanatics incessantly evaluate all aspects of singers, conductors, directors, composers, set designers and opera companies. True geeks know the intricacies of how the human voice works, and how it should work in any given operatic role vis-à-vis any given singer. Opera roles are like clothes, which singers "try on" to varying degrees of success. Certain voices fit certain roles perfectly, but singers often try on roles a size or two too big. Not pretty. In the higher realms of rap, Frannie says, you have to navigate the interior social strata, the subtleties of sampling and layers of meaning behind the braggadocio and how it relates to selling records. Rap, like opera, also has complicated "cast lists." Keeping up with who appears on whose singles, mixtapes and remixes can be as confounding as keeping track of who sang what on the famous Knappertsbusch Ring cycles. And with rap, like opera, there is a huge amount of regional variety, from Compton to Atlanta to the Bronx, London and Istanbul. And then there's the language, as Bob mentioned. Both the actual language that each genre uses in performance and the cryptic vernaculars each has engendered (click here for a handy Bay area hip-hop dictionary, and here to decode some opera jargon). Opera and rap rely heavily on words, many of which are not immediately discernable. Rap can have complex poetry (and profanity) zipping past at indecipherable speeds (especially the turbo rappers). Opera often has foreign tongues and high flying phrasing, requiring CD listeners to run to their printed librettos and opera houses to install supertitles. Opera and rap take work to appreciate — perhaps more effort than many of today's music consumers are willing to expend. In an age when more and more music is available to anyone's ears, are we turning into lazy listeners? Is it too easy to download too much, to acquire everything but actually hear nothing? Does any time remain to fully appreciate a complete hip-hop album, let alone an entire opera? It also takes work to enjoy music that's as in-your-face as opera and rap are. With all the melodrama, social consciousness, violence and intense vocal styles, they certainly are not musical wallpaper. Opera and rap. Who knew they could be so far from each other and yet so close? And who really knows exactly why they both act like lightning rods when it comes to musical preferences? Is it deeply rooted in social psychology, elitism, racism, self-image? The discussion has already been interesting around the NPR Music water cooler. Need to weigh in yourself? Have a story

Question: Review: Saul Williams, 'MartyrLoserKing'

Note: NPR's First Listen audio comes down after the album is released. However, you can still listen with the Spotify playlist at the bottom of the page.  If there is one phrase that captures the overall mood and attitude of Saul Williams' latest album, MartyrLoserKing, it's "F*** you. Understand me." The refrain, from the song entitled "All Coltrane Solos At Once," is both a defiant middle finger raised to humanity's oppressors and an empathetic hand extended to those who are oppressed (including the unwitting and unwilling agents of oppression). Saul Williams is a poet, actor, activist, writer and musician who engages each of these forms equally, with both aggression and compassion. He is a man deeply concerned with the people's well-being and it shows in his work. From the moment Williams made his musical debut with 2001's Rick Rubin-produced Amethyst Rockstar, his songs — like his poetry — have been infused with social and political commentary. Whether examining the world around him or the emotional universe within himself, he is an artist who seeks truth through transgression. Instead of accepting the status quo he is a music-genre agnostic who ponders and wanders. Williams' work is an amalgam of hip-hop, punk, dance music and rock, shifting between styles as effortlessly as it weaves webs of interconnected ideas. Previously, adept and challenge-hungry producers like Rubin and Trent Reznor (2007's The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust!) have matched his words — sung, shouted, rapped — with complementary soundscapes. This time around, the job is taken up by Justin Warfield, a music industry rover whose own two decades-plus resume includes leftfield hip-hop hits (1991's "Season of the Vic"), big beat electronica collabos ("Big Powder Dust" with acid-house originals, Bomb the Bass) and mainstream industrial rock (She Wants Revenge); the veteran producer helps Williams flesh out a sonic world that's simultaneously futuristic and primitive. Only music that is as tribal as it is digital could be the proper accompaniment for lyrics inspired by a fictional miner-turned-hacker in the African nation of Burundi with the screen name "MartyrLoserKing" — a "Mr. Robot" in the Motherland, if you will. "Statues of martyrs. Hackers as artists..." Williams spits these lines in a stream-of-consciousness barrage over the whirling arpeggio piano loop of "Horn of the Clock-Bike." His likening of hackers and artists is a recurring theme throughout the album. On "The Bear _ Coltan as Cotton" Williams' takes the definition of hacking beyond computer systems, applying it to the disruption of social constructs like gender and race and challenging the authority of the powers that be. His middle finger remains aloft on the 4/4 rhythm of "Ashes" where he sings about "dancing on the corpse's ashes" and observes: "The wall between the poor and the rich, building/ Gorgeous for the po-lice/ Worth a billion/ They make a killing/ They make a killing!/ Protect and serve/ Your bullets won't deliver the Last Word." For Wiliams, the last word will be truth spoken to power — not by power.

Question: Pentagon Says Women Can Now Serve In Front-Line Ground Combat Positions

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

Saying America's military must draw from "the broadest possible pool of talent," Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Thursday that women in the U.S. military — including the Army and Marines — can now serve in combat posts. The formal process to open combat jobs to women began in January of 2013; in finishing that process, Carter acknowledged that in recent years, U.S. women have fought — and sometimes given their lives — in combat posts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Carter made the announcement at noon Thursday; the event was not attended by Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, whose branch of the service was the only one to request the ability to make exceptions to the new rule. Dunford is now the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "There will be no exceptions," Carter said. We're updating this post with news from the event. Update at 5:10 p.m. ET: 'Another Historic Step Forward,' Obama Says In a statement issued after Carter's announcement, President Obama says: "One of the qualities that makes America's armed forces the best in the world is that we draw on the talents and skills of our people. When we desegregated our military, it became stronger. In recent years, we ended 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' and allowed gay and lesbian Americans to serve openly — and it's made our military stronger. Over recent decades, we've opened about 90 percent of military positions to women who time and again have proven that they, too, are qualified, ready and up to the task. In the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, our courageous women in uniform have served with honor, on the front lines — and some have given their very lives. "Today, the Defense Department is taking another historic step forward by opening up the remaining 10 percent of military positions, including combat roles, to women. As Commander in Chief, I know that this change, like others before it, will again make our military even stronger. Our armed forces will draw on an even wider pool of talent. Women who can meet the high standards required will have new opportunities to serve. I know that, under the leadership of Secretary Carter and Chairman Dunford, our men and women in uniform will implement this transition — as they have others — in a responsible manner that maintains military readiness and the unparalleled professionalism and strength of our armed forces. Together, we're going to make sure our military remains the finest fighting force in the history of the world, worthy of all our patriots who serve — men and women." Update at 12:46 p.m. ET: No 'Absolute Choice' Carter says the new rule means women in the military who are deemed fit for combat can be assigned to those roles, rather than relying on their own initiative to seek roles in combat. The lack of "absolute choice" for posts and assignments is part of being in the military, he says. Earlier in the briefing, Carter said women can now vie for spots on Navy SEALS teams and other elite units. Update at 12:36 p.m. ET: Selective Service Registration For Women? "That is a matter of legal dispute right now," Carter says, adding that the outcome of that process won't affect his decision. Update at 12:26 p.m. ET: Marines' Resistance Answering a question about Joint Chiefs chairman Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford's resistance to the idea of full integration of women in combat roles, Carter says he "strongly agreed" with Dunford's idea that the way implementation is handled is the key to the new policy's success. He adds that there's "a great value" to implementing the process on a joint basis, with all branches of the service included. Carter did not directly respond to what flaws he found in Dunford's analysis. In September, the Marine Corps released results of a study that found all-male units perform better in combat than do mixed units. As reporters at the briefing note, Dunford is not attending today's announcement. Update at 12:26 p.m. ET: Guidelines For Implementation Listing details about how the new rules will take effect, Carter says no quotas will be imposed on women's numbers in the military. He adds that the military will also have to dispel the idea — held by some men and women in the military, he said — that women might be included in a unit for any reason other than their qualifications. Carter says women's qualifications and the ability to perform combat roles will be main priorities as the new rules are implemented. The process of integrating women into combat roles must begin in the next 30 days, he says. Update at 12:18 p.m. ET: Carter Makes It Official Secretary Carter says the Pentagon can't afford to omit half of America's population from consideration. He adds that since the 1970s, women have been able to attend U.S. service academies, and that in the early 1990s women's military roles were expanded, with each branch allowed to make some exceptions that kept women out of combat. "There will be no exceptions," Carter says of Thursday's change in the rules. Our original post continues: Women are being

Question: Not My Job: Project Runway's Tim Gunn Gets Quizzed On Terrible Fashion

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

As a mentor on Project Runway, Tim Gunn has become a nationally beloved icon of good taste and optimism in the face of some terrible ideas. And since he's always urging designers to "make it work," we've invited him to play a game called "You're never going to make that work." Three questions about fashion ideas that we believe are truly beyond help. PETER SAGAL, HOST:  And now the game where people who do everything right find out how the rest of us feel - it's called, Not My Job. You've seen Tim Gunn mentoring designers on "Project Runway" and always urging them to make it work. He's become a nationally beloved icon of good cheer and good taste, so while we're surprised he's here, we are delighted to welcome Tim Gunn to WAIT WAIT ...DON'T TELL ME. Tim, what a pleasure to have you. TIM GUNN: Thank you. (APPLAUSE) SAGAL: I rarely feel this way because I love radio, but I wish for the moment that our listeners could see you 'cause  you are - as you would expect - you look great. GUNN: Thank you. SAGAL: And do people come up to you all the time and say, how do I look? Do I look OK? GUNN: Yes. SAGAL: Right. And that must mean it's a burden because - do you tell them the truth? GUNN: Well, if we're engaged in a conversation that's more than a nanosecond or a minute and I get to know who they are - I mean, I'll ask what I feel are important questions. What do you do? With whom do you interact? What's your lifestyle like? What do you think about how you're dressed? Do you dress like this all the time? But for the most part, that doesn't happen, so you, in fact, have a nanosecond to respond. And I borrowed a line from Lucy Ricardo in the show called, "Lucy Tells The Truth." SAGAL: The episode of "I Love Lucy" called "Lucy Tells The Truth"? GUNN: Yes. And in it there's a situation over bridge and Marion Strong or Caroline Appleby - I can't remember which one - comes in wearing a crazy hat and asks Lucy - so what do you think of my hat? And Lucy says to Marion or Carolyn, well, if that's the hat you want, you sure have a good one. And that's what I say. Well, if that's the look you want, you sure have a good one. (LAUGHTER) GUNN: I would die. (APPLAUSE) MO ROCCA: I don't mean to send us on a digression, but since you brought up "I Love Lucy," you do have the single best Vivian Vance story ever. GUNN: Oh, I do. SAGAL: If you would like to tell your Vivian Vance story, who am I to stand in your way? (LAUGHTER) SAGAL: Vivian Vance played Ethel on "I Love Lucy." GUNN: Yes. My father was a career FBI agent, 26 years. And he was - well, he was an agent but he ended up being J. Edgar Hoover's ghostwriter, speechwriter - took care of all the correspondents and his office was two doors down from Mr. Hoover's office. And growing up, my sister and I loved the FBI tour. And this one particular year, I was nine or 10 and my sister was therefore six or seven. And my father said, you kids are going to be so excited - Vivian Vance is in Mr. Hoover's office. And I was a huge "I Love Lucy" fan. Would you like to meet her? Well, yes, of course. So we did and it was lovely and she was charming. Years later, my father's in a nursing home with Alzheimer's disease - he's not at the Thanksgiving table where family has gathered. And all these rumors are out about Hoover being a cross-dresser. SAGAL: Yes. GUNN: So I was reflecting upon that time in his office with Vivian Vance. (LAUGHTER) GUNN: And I turned to my sister and I said, upon reflection, I know it was years and years ago - doesn't it strike you as odd that Hoover wasn't in the office? (LAUGHTER) ROCCA: Wow. JESSI KLEIN: Wow. ROCCA: My question is... PETER GROSZ: So it's not a Vivian Vance story? GUNN: No. ROCCA: How was J. Edgar Hoover as Vivian Van dressed - which is really what matters? GUNN: A stunning house dress. KLEIN: If that's the look he wanted, he got a good one. GUNN: But I have to tell you this too, I wrote about this in one of my books - "Gunn's Golden Rules." It was published by a division of Simon & Schuster. The Simon & Schuster legal team went to task on that book. They spent two weeks with it and they contacted Vivian Vance's two biographers - neither of whom knew anything about this visit to the FBI, and then they went to the FBI to look at their visitor logs - no Vivian Vance. (APPLAUSE). SAGAL: That is... KLEIN: ...Your dad is a betrayer of secrets and a sweetheart. It was so nice to feel like - my kids would love this. GUNN: And that's true. SAGAL: So let's follow logic. So J. Edgar Hoover wants to dress up as Vivian Vance, but that's not enough. He wants to meet children as Vivian Vance. GUNN: Exactly. (LAUGHTER) SAGAL: And so he says your father - he says, get me some kids. GROSZ: It's weird 'cause it's like your father was the Ethel to J. Edgar Hoover's Lucy. SAGAL: I have a series of questions here, I'm tempted to throw them away just say, tell more stories, Tim. But I do want to ask you - I want to ask about your personal style because you're always on y

Question: Blog Notes From Today's Program

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

Hi. Korva Coleman, here. I'm sitting in the chair for Michel Martin while she takes some time off before the holiday.  Today we discuss what the incoming Obama Administration will need to review when it considers the detainee facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Should detainees stay in the military legal system devised by the Bush Administration, or not? Our guests today suggest we need an alternative legal method. Take a listen and see if you agree. The New York Times editorial pages say our existing federal criminal system is more than sufficient to manage the terrorists. Over the weekend, it published an editorial highlighting recommendations by Human Rights Watch. Take a look. It was startling to me to come out of a conversation on torture and turn to Slam Poet Gayle Danley who brings her love of words to kids in elementary schools and juvie lockups. We can't seem to leave the topic of detention centers. I wonder what would happen if we sent Gayle to work with the detainees at Gitmo. I wonder what the detainees would talk to her about. Sheepherding? Darkness? Thugs? "Run to the school, Run from the thugs, I'm just like you, let this be the day that I say something that's gonna save a life." I get scared, too, Gayle. And, what you didn't get to hear after the mics were turned off on our conversation with Dr. Ro, Chef George Stella and Giant Food consumer advisor Andrea Astrachan was the plotting. These guys are really committed to getting the word out about healthy eating. I have no idea what they're up to, only that they want to work some more together. Only Dr. Ro was present with me in the D.C. studio. Andrea was in Boston and George way down in central Florida. There's something ironic about the interviewer leaving the studio so the guests can get down to the real conversation. Finally, about rapper Q-tip's music selection: I love the Beatles. I am old.

Commentator Andrei Codrescu weighs the issue, pro and con, of signing lots of autographs.

Question: Butterflies Fly North

NPR's Christopher Joyce reports on a new study  showing that 57 species of butterflies in Europe have extended their range  northward in the past century. It's the first time scientists have documented  the movement of so many species over a relatively short period of time. The  findings suggest that global warming is occurring and that wildlife is already  reacting to the temperature changes.

Question: Leaving The Fleece At Home

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

I left Portland, Oregon to travel to the Portland of Texas. I arrived in Austin Tuesday evening via Houston, where we picked up a slew of skinny black jean wearing men and women. I tried to figure out who was in what band, but when the young guy sitting next to me looked like a member of The Left Banke, I knew it could not be so. This is my third time at SXSW but my first time as an ambassador for National Public Radio. I am taking my new role quite seriously. I was given some strict guidelines by the NPR powers that be: No stripper heels (apparently they interfere with broadcasting, similar to how we have to turn off all electronic devices during a plane's take off and landing), no torn jeans unless they reveal a Carl Kassell tattoo, no midriff baring shirts (is there any other kind?), no facial tattoos that aren't literary based, and I can only drink micro-brews. In fact, I am not allowed to mention that I work for NPR if I've had more than two drinks. If I've had more than five drinks, I have to say I'm here with the BBC. Last but not least, no one is allowed to make direct eye contact with Bob Boilen. When I met him for the first time tonight, I tried to conjure those sighted actors playing blind characters on bad TV shows; I looked all around but never right at him. Never the less, it should make for an interesting week and I am very happy to be here. Though I didn't take in any pre-SXSW shows, I did walk around with my cohorts this evening, pondering how in addition to the 1700 bands playing the festival, there is always room for a bar band (of which we passed by many, crammed into window sills that doubled as stages). And why shouldn't the bar bands still play? After we all leave at the end of the week, someone has to keep the music going. FYI.

Question: Landmark Education Report Confirms that Schools Need More Money

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

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

Question: In Helping Those With Disabilities, ADA Improves Access For All

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

When the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law 25 years ago, "everybody was thinking about the iconic person in a wheelchair," says civil rights lawyer Sid Wolinsky. Or that the ADA — which bans discrimination based on disability — was for someone who is deaf, or blind. But take a tour of New York City with Wolinsky — and the places he sued there — and you will see how the ADA has helped not just people with those significant disabilities, but also people with minor disabilities, and people with no disability at all. Stop 1: Dyckman Street Subway Station, Inwood, Manhattan At this subway station at the northern tip of Manhattan, Wolinksy — who is joined by Jim Weisman, an attorney with the United Spinal Association — points to the elevator that was added after they sued the city in November 2013. Now, wheelchair users can get to the platform. On this day, the elevator is in constant use, gliding up and down, the doors opening with a ding as people use it instead of climbing the steep stairs nearby. But Dustin Jones, a wheelchair user who joins us, notes: "I have not seen a person with a disability yet ride that elevator. It's all been walking people." Over the course of an hour, no one — other than Jones — is in a wheelchair. Jones watches a mother get on, holding the hand of one young child and pushing a baby in a stroller, while carrying bags. "This is one of those stations where it would be really tricky to navigate a small child, a small baby with the stroller and bags, if you had to solely use the steps," he says. Weisman, a veteran of accessibility lawsuits, also doesn't see any people with any visible disabilities enter the elevator. "See, the elevator use is constant. So there must be a reason: Elderly people, people with vertigo and balance problems and knee problems and coordination, people choose to use the elevator," he says. "This elevator is a gift from the disability community and the ADA to the nondisabled people of New York," says Wolinsky, who co-founded Disability Rights Advocates. The ADA, which was signed into law on July 26, 1990, banned discrimination based on disability in employment. It also required access to government services and public accommodations, and included a rule that public transportation be made accessible. That means adding an elevator to a major subway station, or including elevators when building new stations, or adding one when there's a substantial renovation at a station. So when the Dyckman Street Station was renovated, the lawyers sued to have an elevator included. It can sometimes be expensive to provide access. In this case, the tricky work of installing the elevator at an old station located on a rocky cliff cost about $7 million, or a little more than 20 percent of the overall cost of the renovation. And that was just for one elevator, to the downtown trains only. NPR analyzed transit systems in New York and 16 other cities across the country. In New York, only 21 percent of subway stations are accessible. That's the highest percentage of inaccessible stations of any system in the country. New York's subway has the nation's highest number of riders, but most of the city's current stations were built before 1940, long before wheelchair accessibility became an issue. Kevin Ortiz, a spokesman for New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority, notes that the system has made progress, and has committed hundreds of millions of dollars on a promise to make 121 stations wheelchair accessible by 2020. That would bring up the percentage of accessible stations in the city to roughly 25 percent. In addition, Ortiz says, "every single one of our 5,700 buses is accessible," another change mandated by the ADA. The NPR analysis found that older transit systems remain the least accessible. After New York's subway system, the system with the lowest number of accessible stations is the Philadelphia metro area's commuter rail system, at 43 percent. In other systems, newer subway stations, including any built after the ADA, are accessible. The stations in the transit systems in the Washington, D.C., metro area, Los Angeles, Dallas, Portland, Oregon and Denver are 100 percent accessible, according to the NPR numbers. Stop 2: Lillian Wald Houses, Lower East Side, Manhattan "When Hurricane Sandy hit, I was here, in my apartment," says Melba Torres, 53, who lives at this red-brick public housing complex on Manhattan's Lower East Side. "I live on an eighth floor, and I was not able to be evacuated." When the October 2012 storm knocked out power to her building, the elevator shut down. She has cerebral palsy, and her power wheelchair weighs a few hundred pounds. Like thousands of people in high rises around the city, she was stuck. Torres stayed in her apartment for six days without power. "It's the fear of not knowing what could happen. It was totally dark. I don't like darkness," she says. In the daylight, as the storm surged, she looked out her window and watched th

Question: Obama Asks China To Help Halt N. Korean Rocket

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

President Obama came to South Korea to talk about global nuclear security with world leaders, but found himself trying to build a unified front against North Korea's planned rocket launch next month. Obama and South Korean President Lee Myung-bak strenuously warned North Korea not to go ahead with the launch. In a speech Monday at the summit in Seoul, Obama used some of the toughest language he has ever used addressed to the leaders of North Korea. "And know this: There will be no rewards for provocations," Obama said. "Those days are over. To the leaders of Pyongyang I say, this is the choice before you. This is the decision that you must make. Today we say Pyongyang, have the courage to pursue peace and give a better life to the people of North Korea." Russian President Dmitry Medvedev also urged North Korea to cancel the rocket launch. Meanwhile, Obama met privately with China's president, Hu Jintao, and asked him to use China's influence to change North Korea's behavior. Hu did criticize the launch plan, saying it would be good to abandon it. He told Obama he is taking the situation very seriously. Earlier, Obama publicly expressed some frustration with the Chinese. "What I've said to them consistently is, rewarding bad behavior, turning a blind eye to deliberate provocations, trying to paper over these not just provocative words but extraordinarily provocative acts that violate international norms, that that's not obviously working," Obama said. North Korea's Plan North Korea has announced it will launch a long-range rocket in April to put a satellite in orbit. Such a launch would violate a U.N. Security Council resolution as well as commitments North Korea made recently to the U.S. North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, who is in his late 20s, has been in power for only a few months, after succeeding his father, Kim Jong Il, who died Dec. 17. The new leader has given few indications so far of what his policies will be, and the planned rocket launch could provide a glimpse into how he handles a sensitive issue that will be closely scrutinized by the wider world. During his visit to Seoul, Obama has spoken frequently about the bad behavior of North Korea's leaders. In the most recent example, North Korea and the United States announced what amounted to a freeze-for-food deal. North Korea agreed to freeze its uranium enrichment and missile tests. In exchange, the U.S. pledged to provide a substantial amount of food aid. But soon after, North Korea announced its plan to launch the satellite-bearing rocket. Trying To Break A Pattern In the past, Obama said, that sort of brinkmanship would lead to North Korean gains in its negotiations with the U.S. and with South Korea. But now, the president says, he's not willing to play that game. "There had been a pattern, I think for decades, in which North Korea thought that if they acted provocatively, then somehow they would be bribed into ceasing and desisting acting provocatively," Obama said. "And [South Korea's] President Lee and I have agreed from the start of our relationship that we're going to break that pattern." The North Korean problem has somewhat overshadowed the Seoul summit — the goal of which is to take stock of the improvements in safeguarding dangerous nuclear materials around the globe. This is an issue that the president has focused a good deal of attention on since he took office. "If countries either historically, because of old nuclear programs, or currently, in terms of how they operate their nuclear energy facilities, are leaving a bunch of material out there that could potentially fall in the hands of terrorists, that poses an extraordinary threat to the United States, to South Korea and to countries all around the world," Obama said. The president also said he believes the U.S. can make deeper cuts in its nuclear arsenal and still provide protection for itself and its allies. He did not say how deep the cuts could go. ROBERT SIEGEL, HOST:  From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel. MELISSA BLOCK, HOST:  I'm Melissa Block. And in this part of the program, the nuclear threat. Top leaders from around the world are in Seoul for a two-day summit on nuclear security. And North Korea has thrust itself back into the center of attention with plans to launch a satellite using a long-range rocket. Such a launch would violate the U.N. Security Council resolution as well as North Korean commitments to the U.S. So, when President Obama sat down with China's President Hu Jintao today, the big topic was the nagging problem of North Korea. NPR's Mike Shuster is covering the meetings in Seoul. MIKE SHUSTER, BYLINE: It seems that the significant players in the North Korean drama all agree that North Korea would be better advised to cancel its rocket launch set for April. President Obama and South Korean president Lee Myung-bak strenuously warned North Korea not to go ahead. In a speech today, President Obama used some of the toughest langu

Question: Wuhan Orders Testing For All 10 Million Residents As The Delta Variant Hits China

The fast-spreading delta variant of the coronavirus has been found in China. Over the past week, more than 500 cases of COVID-19 have been identified across the country after the first delta cases were found in the port city of Nanjing. On Tuesday, authorities said they had discovered 90 new cases, concentrated in Jiangsu, Henan and Hubei provinces. The city of Wuhan said it would mass test all 10 million of its residents after discovering eight cases of the virus this week. Authorities have locked down the hardest-hit neighborhoods, including Zhangjiajie and begun mass testing of all residents. These measures are all part of China's zero tolerance approach to COVID-19 — to contain it at all costs.  Authorities say the delta variant may have come in on the surface of international baggage. From there, infected airport workers passed it on to four travelers who then visited Zhangjiajie, a popular tourist spot known for sharp, vertical mountains that inspired the world in Avatar. While in Zhangjiajie, they watched a musical performance attended by about 1,000 other people. From there, performance participants spread the delta variant to at least 18 other provinces — including to the city of Wuhan, where the first strain of novel coronavirus was discovered. Beijing, China's capital, is being very careful even though it has only 20 COVID-19 cases right now. In a Monday press conference, Beijing health authorities said they are preventing anyone who has been to an area with COVID-19 cases from entering Beijing. China's immigration authorities also said this week that they are not issuing new passports to their citizens unless there is a pressing need to travel abroad for education or employment.

Byron Tanner Cross, a physical education teacher at Leesburg Elementary School in Leesburg, Va., said during a May 25 public meeting that recognizing a student\'s gender identity — if different from their sex assigned at birth — goes against his religious beliefs. "I love all of my students but I will never lie to them regardless of the consequences," Cross said. "I\'m a teacher, but I serve God first, and I will not affirm that a biological boy can be a girl and vice versa, because it\'s against my religion," said Cross, who says he is Christian. "It\'s lying to a child. It\'s abuse to a child. And it\'s sinning against our God." Two days after the public meeting, Lucia Villa Sebastian, Loudoun County Public Schools interim assistant superintendent for human resources and talent development, informed Cross in a letter that he was being put on administrative leave with pay as the district investigated allegations of "conduct that has had a disruptive impact on the operations of Leesburg Elementary School." Cross\' lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Virginia Circuit Court for Loudon County, claims that the school district retaliated against him for his comments during the public meeting and that his suspension constituted a violation of his rights to freedom of speech and religion. Wayde Byard, the Loudoun County Public Schools public information officer, confirmed that Cross had been put on leave but said state and federal law prohibits the district from disclosing the reason for his suspension. At the public meeting, Cross rose in opposition to draft policy 8040, a proposal that would allow transgender and gender-expansive students to use names and pronouns outside their legal names and "regardless of the name and gender recorded in the student\'s permanent educational record." School staff would be required to use names outside students\' legal names if the student or their parent or guardian requested it. The proposal would also amend an existing school district policy by allowing students to participate in activities such as sports "in a manner consistent with the student\'s gender identity." Several states including Idaho, Florida and Tennessee have recently enacted laws restricting the ability of transgender athletes to participate in sports based on their gender identity rather than their sex assigned at birth. Byard, the Loudoun County Public Schools public information officer, said the proposal would align district policy with the Code of Virginia and the Virginia Department of Education\'s guidelines for the treatment of transgender students. During his comments at the public meeting, Cross said he was expressing concern for students with gender dysphoria and cited a recent report on the CBS News broadcast 60 Minutes that featured some transgender children who decided to reverse the transitioning process.']" == "['Represent this short title to find a subtitle that might be right below it on NPR', 'A Virginia Teacher Was Put On Leave After Opposing New Rights For Trans Students']"

Oil is a tough business, and when oil prices fall, like they’ve done over the last six months, one of the first things oil companies do is cut back on workers and on the number of drilling rigs. There were about half as many rigs in March as there were last September, and fewer rigs means more competition for jobs on drill sites.

In an event that came down to a dramatic final run, American snowboarder Shaun White finished in fourth place in the men's halfpipe Tuesday, falling just short of the podium with a score of 90.25. White needed a score of better than 94.75 to take gold. The margin was close – the top four men all finished with scores above 90. But Switzerland's Iouri Podladtchikov moved from third to first place on his second run, in the event in which only the best score is counted. Japan's Ayumu Hirano, who had the best first run at 90.75, improved his score to 93.50 on the second run to secure silver. His countryman Taku Hiraoka bounced back from a first-run 45.50 to take bronze with a 92.25. The top five finishers all pulled off their best runs in the second half of the competition – none more so than White, who stood in 11th place after the first run with a score of 35. White crashed out in that run.

Question: 'Uncreative Writer' Retypes the 'New York Times'

Poet Kenneth Goldsmith doesn't actually write his books, it's more accurate to say that he types them. He typed an entire issue of the New York Times into an 840-page book called Day. He recently completed a trilogy, The Weather, Traffic and Sports. They are transcriptions of a year of radio weather reports, a 24-hour traffic cycle and the radio broadcast of a Yankees game. Ums, uhs and ads included. If you think that sounds unreadable, you're right. Goldsmith himself says, "I don't read them. I get bored." So why does he bother? Goldsmith explained: "The conversation around the work is always much more interesting than the work itself. So I let you off the hook. I say, you don't have to read these books. You can just think about them." MIKE PESCA, host:   In the '60s, the 1960s, Andy Warhol made some provocative but fairly unwatchable films.

And if you watch "Empire," you'll see the Empire State Building for eight hours. And by the way, he cheated. It was actually on a loop. He didn't film it for eight whole hours. It wasn't a short loop. It was a long one.   Kenneth Goldsmith is a poet who writes provocative but pretty unreadable books and he takes credit for that. There is the 2003 book, "Day," in which Goldsmith retyped an entire edition of the New York Times, including the ads. It's an 840-page book, and he recently completed a trilogy, "The Weather," "Traffic" and "Sports." It was from 24-Hour News WINS, I believe, and "Sports" was an entire rebroadcast of the Yankees game. I hope Jeter got a home run in that one. I don't know what happened. But Kenneth Goldsmith not only joins us in the studio, but it turns out we went to the same elementary school. How are you, Kenneth?  RACHEL MARTIN, host:   A special small-world moment.  Mr. KENNETH GOLDSMITH (Author, Poet): Fine. Lovely, thank you.  PESCA: Small-world moment. You know, this is what you don't - this is what you - whenever you get an artist in and he does something a little weird, you don't want to ask it, but you have to. Why? Why? Why? Is there a bigger - there has to be a bigger point to transcribing the Times and these radio shows.  Mr. GOLDSMITH: Well, they say life is very short.  PESCA: They do.  Mr. GOLDSMITH: But it's not.   (Soundbite of laughter)  Mr. GOLDSMITH: It's enormously long, and you've got to fill up the time somehow. And you know, I'm kind of a bored guy with a lot of time on his hands. So, I just retype existing texts.  PESCA: And what do you expect people to do with those texts?  Mr. GOLDSMITH: Well, I certainly don't expect them to read them. I mean, I - you know, authors want to be read. I'm the type of author that says you don't have to read these books, the first poet that actually admits that the books need not be read. And instead, I would rather have a thinkership (ph) than a readership.  MARTIN: What are the thoughts that are supposed to be provoked by this?  Mr. GOLDSMITH: Well, probably exactly, why does one do something like this? You know, the conversation around the work is always much more interesting than the work itself.   MARTIN: True.  Mr. GOLDSMITH: So I let you off the hook. I say, you don't have to read these books. You can just think about them.  PESCA: Does - do you know if anyone does read the books?  Mr. GOLDSMITH: Well, I'm told people do. And people tell me that it's quite an engrossing and, quote, transcendent experience to read them. But I don't read them. I get bored.   MARTIN: Well..  PESCA: But you type them. I mean, you - was it did you go into a trance, fugue-like state? As you typed it?  Mr. GOLDSMITH: Absolutely.  MARTIN: Yeah, this is partly - this is a meditation.   Mr. GOLDSMITH: Absolutely. I mean, it's retyping long documents for a year, you get very high, doing something like that.  MARTIN: Are you a good typist?  Mr. GOLDSMITH: I've become a wonderful typist. Thank you for asking. I think it's the one thing that people really should learn is to touch type.   MARTIN: I myself am a very good typist.   PESCA: Really?  MARTIN: I am.   (Soundbite of laughter)  PESCA: All right. How many words a minute?  MARTIN: Seventy-five. Is that good?  PESCA: Wow. That's very good. I think it's good.   MARTIN: Anyway, I digress.  PESCA: Do you know what your rate is?  Mr. GOLDSMITH: If I had some money, I would put you to work for me.   MARTIN: I'm serious. Typing when you get in the grove, it's very meditative.   Mr. GOLDSMITH: It really is.   MARTIN: It's very Zen.  Mr. GOLDSMITH: This is what everybody does, all day long, every day, is move information from one place to another. Some of us call that writing.  MARTIN: So you've just taken this to another level.  Mr. GOLDSMITH: Yeah. I've decided to call the mundane activity of typing, writing, an art.  PESCA: Do you think that the thing that you're doing is not that much diff

Question: Friday News Roundup - Domestic

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

With guest host Todd Zwillich. On Monday, furloughed federal workers returned to work after the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. For the first time in 35 days, airports began to run at working speed; museums and zoos reopened; and investigations into transit accidents and environmental damage resumed. From The Washington Post:  As large segments of the government restarted after 35 days of inactivity, returning employees hugged colleagues, jettisoned sour milk from refrigerators, shared furlough stories and changed computer passwords. The tech support team at the Department of Housing and Urban Development said it received more than 1,000 calls by 1 p.m. Monday for help getting computers back online and resetting passwords. In some offices, it felt as if time had stood still; the Environmental Protection Agency, for example, issued its list of accomplishments for 2018 in the last week of January.  The shutdown cost the economy $11 billion — $3 billion of which won’t be recovered — according to the Congressional Budget Office. It remains to be seen when federal employees will receive back pay, and government contractors are fighting to be compensated. On Wednesday, members of a bipartisan committee met to discuss border security, and many seemed optimistic about nearing a resolution. “I know that the American people are counting on us to come to a reasonable and responsible solution,” House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey, D-NY, said. “We are appropriators, and consistent with the proud tradition of our committees, I am confident that we will be able to reach a compromise.” We heard from federal workers on their first day back, and discussed what to expect in the coming weeks ahead of the Feb. 15 deadline. You can hear that conversation here. As negotiations over border security continued to heat up, temperatures around the country dropped to record lows, particularly in the midwest. Many schools and universities have closed due to the Polar Vortex, and governors of Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin have declared states of emergency. President Trump used the opportunity to add fuel to the climate change debate.
In the beautiful Midwest, windchill temperatures are reaching minus 60 degrees, the coldest ever recorded. In coming days, expected to get even colder. People can’t last outside even for minutes. What the hell is going on with Global Waming? Please come back fast, we need you! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 29, 2019   The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weighed in.
Winter storms don’t prove that global warming isn’t happening. https://t.co/LDqfq4JH9n pic.twitter.com/ndmLD637Cb — NOAA Climate.gov (@NOAAClimate) January 29, 2019   Finally, longtime Trump associate Roger Stone pled not guilty to seven criminal charges, including witness tampering and obstruction of justice. Not long after, Stone, Jim Mattis and Lanny Davis walked into a steakhouse for lunch and turned some heads. We’ll wrap up this busy week in domestic news. Text by Kathryn Fink.

This episode originally ran in 2017.  In the 20th century, Oneida was a household name. It was one of the United States' biggest flatware manufacturers, with knives and forks symbolizing middle-class taste, and prolific advertising that came to represent the very idea of a well-set table. Oneida was the American middle class brand.  The company's past, however, is far from ordinary: It started as a commune of perfectionists, who subscribed to an esoteric form of Christianity, and practiced free love.

Question: Live Blog: Boston Gangster Whitey Bulger Goes On Trial

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

Whitey Bulger is finally getting his day in court. Our colleagues at WBUR are in the courtroom Wednesday as the infamous gangster's trial begins. He's accused of 19 murders and racketeering. As we wrote last week, James "Whitey" Bulger was captured in California nearly two years ago — after 16 years on the run. He's pleaded not guilty and may try to make the case that because he was an FBI informant he might have some sort of immunity. You can follow WBUR's updates on its @wburLive Twitter page, or in the box we'll embed below. Wednesday's highlights are expected to include the opening statements from the prosecution and defense. We'll monitor and update as warranted. There's also live blogging by: -- WGBH. -- The Boston Globe. -- The Boston Herald. And for much, much more about Bulger and the case against him, this package from WBUR is a good place to start. Update at 11 a.m. ET. Defense Lawyer Says He'll Show Jurors "The Truth": WBUR adds now that in his opening statement, defense attorney J.W. Carney said that defending Bulger is a "challenging task," but that he will help jurors see "what the truth is." And with the prosecution set to present as witnesses a range of seemingly shady characters — including a convicted killer — Carney has suggested to jurors that they may not be able to believe those who testify against his client. Update at 9:55 a.m. ET. Bulger "Did The Dirty Work Himself": As the prosecution's opening statement gets underway, WBUR reports, Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian Kelly is laying out some of Bulger's alleged crimes. "He was no ordinary leader," Kelly says of Bulger. "He did the dirty work himself."

Question: Iranian Parliament Votes To Take President Ahmadinejad To Court

It wasn't long ago that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had the solid backing of Iran's establishment. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stood firmly by him during 2009's disputed election that led to the country's most significant unrest since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. But during the past months, Ahmadinejad has been losing support. Today, that became readily apparent when Iran's parliament voted 165-1 in favor of taking the president to court over what they say was an illegal takeover of Iran's Oil Ministry. More importantly, perhaps, Iran's Press TV reports that the Guardian Council — appointed by the country's clerics and Parliament — also stated "Ahmadinejad's decision to take charge of the ministry is against the provisions of Article 135 of Iran's Constitution." So what does it mean for Ahmadinejad? The AP looks toward the future:  The 165-1 vote was the latest salvo in the political maneuvering that began when Ahmadinejad publicly challenged Iran's supreme leader in April, only to back down. The confrontations appear to be part of a power struggle ahead of parliamentary elections next year and the vote for Ahmadinejad's successor in mid-2013. ... It's unclear whether Wednesday's vote in the 290-member parliament will actually be followed by charges or a lawsuit against Ahmadinejad, but it clearly pits the president against a majority of lawmakers, including parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani, a leader of a rival camp within the president's conservative political bloc. If charges proceed against the president, he could well face an investigation by the judiciary, which is led by Larijani's brother.  The incident the AP refers to in April is when Ahmadinejad tried to fire Iran's intelligence minister. Khamenei told him no and Ahmadinejad tried to assert his power by firing other ministers and refusing to attend cabinet meetings. Eventually, Ahmadinejad backed down. In a piece for Foreign Policy, Barbara Slavin writes that Ahmadinejad is just learning what other Iranian presidents learned before him: "You serve at the pleasure of the supreme leader, and he prefers his presidents weak." FP adds:  The latest developments, however, are striking in view of the fact that Khamenei so strongly backed Ahmadinejad after the disputed 2009 election, going so far as to call the president's reelection a "divine assessment." Since then, the regime has weathered unprecedented opposition protests and surmounted another major challenge by phasing out costly subsidies on consumer staples. Ahmadinejad has served the regime's purposes; his usefulness now appears at an end. As parliamentary elections approach next year, followed by a new presidential vote, Iran's conservative establishment appears intent on preventing Ahmadinejad from designating a successor and planning a possible Putin-esque comeback in 2017. The best way to block that is to weaken him now.
