2017-12-06T12:27:12-04:56 never 0.5 tUnE-yArDs: Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing <p><a href="http://www.npr.org/artists/122443700/tune-yards">tUnE-yArDs</a><em> is</em> Merrill Garbus. She writes the songs, which frequently consist of musical riffs broken into pieces and shards, glued together with an organizing rhythm. She provides most of the multi-layered vocals and much of the percussion, as well as various keyboards, ukulele and other instruments and objects. Working with bassist Nate Brenner and occasionally a few other singers and instrumentalists, Garbus gives electrifying performances that showcase her remarkably flexible singing voice. In her ability to create music that sounds at once invitingly familiar and disorientingly new, Garbus is the real thing — an original artist.</p> <p>Her stated influences are a patchwork, including everything from kids' games and TV shows to the drum rhythms she's heard in music from Kenya and Haiti, as well as every kind of American pop. I also hear the sort of strongly willful naivete that in the past has powered music by idiosyncratic artists such as Captain Beefheart, Pere Ubu's David Thomas, Jonathan Richman and the children's-music genius-eccentric Jim Copp. But in <em>Nikki Nack</em>'s "Real Thing," Garbus worries over the notion that she's just an accumulation of her influences, and she fights back wonderfully, calling out the "curse of the real thing." This song and many others are showcases for her striking vocals.</p> <p>There are quiet moments on this album, such as "Look Around," which commences with Garbus' stark, lovely, soulful singing. That song builds and builds into a rich, multi-tracked, orchestral swirl that surges with confidence even as its lyric describes examples of what Garbus calls "the most brilliantly rhyming terrors." tUnE-yArDs' music plays with notions of assertiveness and weakness, power and passivity. Garbus' voice is so flexible, assuming so many roles within a single song, and her music is so artfully ramshackle, it can confuse a newcomer. Is she a kid just fiddling around with do-it-yourself technology? No. Now a thirtysomething based in Oakland, Calif., Garbus is an artist whose process has become more complex with each of her three albums. She took her album title <em>Nikki Nack</em> from the "This Old Man" nursery rhyme, but she's never childish — her songs raise the subjects of personal and political revolt, of natural and man-made disasters, of the difficult work of trying to achieve happiness.</p> <p>At one point during "Hey Life," Garbus sings, "Hey, life, I love you so much I scream and shout." tUnE-yArDs' music contains some of the most thoughtful and artful screaming and shouting I've heard in a while. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

2017-12-10T15:35:30-04:56 never 0.5 Midspring Surprise: Lost Mendelssohn Song Found <p>Twenty-nine gentle measures by <a href="http://www.npr.org/artists/18825931/felix-mendelssohn" target="_blank">Felix Mendelssohn</a> are creating quite a stir — after being lost for more than a century.</p> <p>The song, called "The Heart of Man Is Like a Mine," was a private commission Mendelssohn wrote for an acquaintance in Berlin — and which the composer apparently never wanted to circulate publicly. Mendelssohn wrote it in 1842 at age 33, five years before his death.</p> <p>Mendelssohn scholars, however, have already known about the existence of this formerly lost song: It was sold at auction twice, first in 1862 and then again in 1872. The manuscript includes Mendelssohn's signature, proving its authenticity and making it a valuable piece of paper even without this little <em>lied</em>.</p> <p><a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-27253932" target="_blank">BBC 4's <em>Today</em> program</a> asked two performers from London's Royal College of Music, <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/deceptivecadence/2011/11/16/142376606/talk-like-an-opera-geek-managing-mezzos-altos-and-contraltos" target="_blank">alto</a> Amy Williamson and pianist Christopher Glynn, to perform the newly rediscovered piece, whose text is drawn from a poem by Friedrich Rückert called <em>Das Unveränderliche</em> and which is not even a minute and a half long.</p> <p>Where has this song been all this time? That remains a bit of a mystery. According to the BBC, the manuscript "emerged in a private collection in the U.S." and will be sold at Christie's auction house later this month, where it is anticipated to sell for roughly $25,000-$42,000. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

2017-12-10T12:21:26-04:56 never 0.5 Saturn Still Swings: Celebrating Sun Ra At 100 <p>Today marks 100 years since <a href="http://www.npr.org/artists/15696511/sun-ra" target="_blank">Sun Ra</a> was born — or, as the musician might have put it, since he arrived on Earth. An influential jazz composer, keyboardist and bandleader, Sun Ra always insisted he was just visiting this planet.</p> <p>"Since I don't consider myself as one of the humans, I'm a spiritual being myself," he said in <em>A Joyful Noise</em>, a documentary released in 1980.</p> <p>Ra dressed himself and his band in elaborate costumes that were part ancient Egypt, part science fiction. Sometimes he claimed to be from Saturn.</p> <p>"I'm not part of history," he said. "I'm more a part of the mystery which is my story."</p> <p>Ra didn't like to talk about his childhood on Earth. In fact, the trail was nearly cold when biographer John Szwed started asking questions in the 1990s.</p> <p>"He had a passport that said Saturn," Szwed recalls.<em> </em>"It had no birth dates."</p> <p>Eventually, Szwed did uncover some basic biographical facts about Sun Ra. Herman "Sonny" Blount was born May 22, 1914 in Birmingham, Ala. By the 1950s he had moved to Chicago, worked as an arranger for jazz great <a href="http://www.npr.org/artists/15404337/fletcher-henderson" target="_blank">Fletcher Henderson</a>, and backed up a wide range of musicians playing blues, doo-wop and R&B.</p> <p>"Even in Chicago, when he was doing fairly straight things — blues, dance tunes, whatever — there was this hint of something else," Szwed says.</p> <p>Blount changed his name to Sun Ra and began leading a big band called the Arkestra.</p> <p>"He was the first one to really introduce me in the higher forms of music," said John Gilmore, who played tenor saxophone in the Arkestra for four decades.</p> <p>Gilmore died in 1995, but was interviewed in <em>A Joyful Noise.</em> At first, Gilmore said, he had a hard time understanding Ra's music.</p> <p>"Then one night, I heard it," he recalls. "We were playing this number 'Saturn.' I had been playing it for six months, every time we worked. But then I really heard the intervals this one night and I said, 'My gosh, it's unbelievable that anybody could write meaner intervals than <a href="http://www.npr.org/artists/15130415/thelonious-monk" target="_blank">Monk</a> or <a href="http://www.npr.org/artists/15373151/charles-mingus" target="_blank">Mingus</a>. But he does.'"<em><br /></em></p> <p>In the early '60s, Ra moved his Arkestra to New York. He explored collective free improvisation and was one of the first jazz musicians to embrace electronic instruments and synthesizers. John Szwed says Ra's stage act also got weirder and bigger.</p> <p>"He went to extremes," Szwed says. "He'd have musclemen painted gold, jugglers, women carrying glowing balls like turn-of-the-century dancers. And depending on where you were coming into the thing, you either saw him as this avuncular, sweet old guy — or he was scary."</p> <p>Ra's interest in ancient Egypt and African cultures led some to associate him with the Black Nationalist movement of the '60s and '70s. But he wasn't concerned with terrestrial politics.</p> <p>"I'm not looking for liberty. I'm not looking for equality," Ra said. "I am moving forward with my music, universal language, expressing things of value. And if there's some people want to listen, they're welcome. I'm just like the birds. They sing. Those who like can listen and those who don't, don't have to."</p> <p>For all the freedom in his music, Ra demanded discipline from his musicians. He was constantly writing or rehearsing. In 1969, he moved the band out of New York to a house in Philadelphia that belonged to the father of the band's alto saxophonist, Marshall Allen.</p> <p>Allen is celebrating his 90th birthday this month. He's still leading the Arkestra, which rehearses in that same modest row house in Philadelphia. It's full of sheet music, art, instruments, and mementos of Sun Ra's time on Earth. The band members still bunk together in the bedrooms, just like they did when Ra lived there. Allen says the communal living arrangement meant the band could rehearse without distractions.</p> <p>"All your free time was taken," Allen recalls. "All this running around doing nothing — chasing girls or whatever you do. You devoting most of your time to music 24 hours a day."</p> <p>In fact, the band members jokingly called it the "Ra jail." They're laughing, but you can tell it's not entirely a joke. Saxophonist Knoel Scott has been in and out of the Arkestra since the 1970s.</p> <p>"Sun Ra was, for people who didn't know Sonny, he was an insomniac," Scott says. "He did not sleep. Maybe two hours, take a little nap — that was it. So 22 hours out of the day, he's awake and he's creating."</p> <p>Ra wrote poetry, and he wrote his philosophy down in pamphlets and leaflets. But mostly, Ra wrote music, and was one of the first musicians to release it on his own record label. He wrote thousands of songs, filling dozens and dozens of albums.</p> <p>"Every song I write tells a story — a story that humanity needs to know about," Ra said. "In my music I speak of unknown things, impossible things, ancient things, potential things. No two songs tell the same story."</p> <p>Ra left the planet in 1993 after a series of strokes. The Sun Ra Arkestra will mark today's centennial with a concert in Zurich, Switzerland. It's the first show of the Arkestra's month-long tour of Europe, as the band still brings Sun Ra's message to the people of Earth. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

never 0.5 Sonny Rollins: 'You Can't Think And Play At The Same Time' <p>When you consider that critics have been writing about him for over 60 years, it can seem as if there's nothing left to say about <a href="http://www.npr.org/artists/15131378/sonny-rollins" target="_blank">Sonny Rollins</a>. But there is – because over the decades, the "Saxophone Colossus" has never stopped growing or adding to his sound.</p> <p>More than once, Rollins has stepped away from his adoring audiences for extended sabbaticals: He'd decide he wasn't good enough, take a couple of years off to practice and study, and come back when he felt ready. He's taking some time off again now, but that may be due more to the fact that he's 83 than a desire to rethink his music. In the meantime, Rollins has been leaking some live recordings for a series he calls "Road Shows."</p> <p>The latest installment, <em>Road Shows, Vol. 3</em>, comes out Tuesday. He spoke with NPR's Arun Rath about the value of time away from the studio, and why, when you make your living improvising, a little spiritual practice can be a big help. Hear the radio version at the audio link, and read more of their conversation below.</p> <p><strong>These live recordings, your fans have been begging for them for years. Why now? What was it that, a few years ago, made you decide to start releasing this material?</strong></p> <p><strong></strong><strong></strong>Well, I got afraid of the recording studio. I've got a phobia about the "lights-camera-action." And a lot of people tell me that in person, with the audience and the ambiance, "Gee, I like you better when you're live, Sonny." So I said, OK, that's easy: I've got a lot of live performances, and I can pick and choose and put some out. Which was not so easy, actually.</p> <p><strong>There's a huge amount of material.</strong></p> <p>There's a lot of material out there, and I'm very strict on myself, so that I'm never satisfied with the stuff I hear. I don't like listening to myself; I'm not a guy that goes home and puts on a Sonny Rollins record. So picking and choosing can be quite excruciating.</p> <p><strong></strong><strong>What's hard for you about listening to older recordings of yourself?</strong></p> <p>Well, the older recordings I don't mind so much, because in those days — you know, when I was recording with <a href="http://www.npr.org/artists/15404396/j-j-johnson" target="_blank">J.J. Johnson</a> and <a href="http://www.npr.org/artists/15404849/bud-powell" target="_blank">Bud Powell</a> and all those great people — we just went in the studio for a short time, and we knew that was it. We rose to the occasion without any afterthought or forethought; we just went in there and recorded. Now, it's a lot different. When I was in the recording studio over at Fantasy [Records] for many years, I had the option of listening back and doing another take, and I did five, ten takes. That sort of changed the dynamic.</p> <p><strong></strong><strong>There's a track on <em>Road Shows, Vol. 3</em> called "Patanjali," and that's the name of the great Hindu philosopher of yoga. You studied Indian philosophy and yoga in India, right?</strong></p> <p>Yes I did, and I'm still studying Indian philosophy.<strong></strong></p> <p><strong></strong><strong>I can see how yoga, with its emphasis on breathing, could be useful even on a technical level for a saxophonist. What has yoga brought to your playing?</strong></p> <p>Well, it's the concentration level. A lot of people think of yoga as the exercises — hatha yoga — which is only one form. There are other forms of yoga, and they are more contemplative, introspective, meditational. The thing is this: When I play, what I try to do is to reach my subconscious level. I don't want to overtly think about anything, because you can't think and play at the same time — believe me, I've tried it (<em></em><em>laughs</em>). It goes by too fast. So when you're into yoga and when you're into improvisation, you want to reach that other level.</p> <p><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong>When you went to India — this was in the late '60s — it was at a time when you famously took sort of a sabbatical from playing and recording. What was it that triggered you to reach out in these other directions in that way?</strong></p> <p>I was into many things. I was into Rosicrucianism, I studied Buddhism, Kabbalah, even — I was really into those philosophies of life, as were some of my compatriots. We were trying to find a way to express life through our improvisations. The music has got to mean something. Jazz improvisation is supposed to be the highest form of communication, and getting that to the people is our job as musicians.</p> <p>I'm not supposed to be playing, the music is supposed to be playing me. I'm just supposed to be standing there with the horn, moving my fingers. The music is supposed to be coming through me; that's when it's really happening.<strong></strong></p> <p><strong></strong><strong>It's hard to think of anything that you haven't accomplished, in terms of music. Is there something else out there that you still want to do?</strong></p> <p>I think there's always something to do. There are things that I've thought about — nature recordings, listening to new people coming up and being able to relate to them. Music is an open sky; it's vast. I wouldn't be so foolish as to ever feel that there isn't more music to be done, because it is out there. And I want to do it. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

Colleges' Funding At Risk <p>House lawmakers in South Carolina have voted to slash funding for two of the state's largest public colleges in retaliation for the introduction of books with gay themes into the schools' freshman reading programs.</p> <p>In February, the South Carolina House of Representatives voted to cut $70,000 — the entire cost of the programs — from the College of Charleston and the University of South Carolina Upstate.</p> <p>The Senate is debating the state budget this week, and multiple efforts to reinstate the funds have thus far failed.</p> <p>The College of Charleston had assigned incoming students to read <em>Fun Home,</em> a graphic novel about the author's struggle with her family and sexual orientation that includes illustrations of lesbian sex. The University of South Carolina Upstate selected <em>Out Loud: The Best of Rainbow Radio,</em> a compilation of radio stories about being gay and lesbian in the South, for a similar program.</p> <p><em>Fun Home</em>, by Alison Bechdel, was also developed into a Pulitzer-nominated off-Broadway musical. Last month, the New York cast of the play<em> </em>traveled to Charleston to perform it in support of the students, striking back at lawmakers who voted for the cuts.</p> <p>One lawmaker who took offense was Republican Rep. Garry Smith. "Any freedom, including academic freedom, comes with responsibility," Smith told NPR.<strong> </strong>"You can't run into a crowded theater and shout fire when there's no fire."</p> <p>Smith says the college failed to present multiple perspectives about the novel. "You need to discuss it from a true academic debate standpoint, which looks at all aspects of it. That was not done," he says.</p> <p>Students, for their part, have organized demonstrations and phone banks urging the governor to block the threatened cuts.</p> <p>Some College of Charleston students also see the move as part of a larger effort to control political discourse at the school. They say that, in addition to the funding cuts, the GOP-controlled Legislature recently handpicked one of their own to run the college.</p> <p>South Carolina Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell, a conservative Republican, was recently selected to become the college's next president. Media reports suggest that the college's governing board chose him under pressure from lawmakers, and against the advice of a search committee.</p> <p>"It just reeked of insider dealings, backroom political maneuvers and political and economic pressure being put on the board of trustees," says student Matt Rabon, who has been protesting the appointment.</p> <p>McConnell spent more than 30 years in the state Senate. And he's known for his affection for Civil War history and the Confederate flag.</p> <p>McConnell did not agree to an interview with NPR. But he has the support of at least one well-known Democrat, longtime Charleston Mayor Joe Riley. "He's a good guy. And a very nice, hardworking person," the mayor says. "I think he'll be an excellent college president."</p> <p>Political writer Andy Brack, who runs the website <a href="statehousereport.com">Statehouse Report</a>, says state lawmakers likely see in McConnell an opportunity for more control of the college. He says choosing McConnell may be the price the college was willing to pay for a stronger relationship with the Legislature.</p> <p>"It's tough being a college president these days," he says. "And one might think that a reason McConnell was hired is that he understands state budgeting and the relationships with the Legislature, which has a big control over the universities in this state."</p> <p>While McConnell's selection prompted students to stage a sit-in, he'll assume his new role as president of the College of Charleston at a quieter time on campus, on July 1, when most students are away. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 Georgia Public Broadcasting.

Flight Until Regulators Act <p>What was once experimental is now becoming more common: Journalists and photographers are increasingly putting small commercial drones in the air to shoot photo and video. But when they do, they're on shaky legal ground. Federal regulators currently prohibit drone use for commercial purposes — including reporting — as they work to <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2014/05/05/309746615/faa-head-safety-privacy-concerns-abound-in-regulating-drones">write longer term guidelines</a> on who can fly small drones, and where.</p> <p>Just last week, when a tornado ripped through Arkansas, it carved a path of damage so wide that the best way to see its destruction was from the air. KATV, the ABC affiliate in Little Rock, Ark., aired <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7s2lzDtjew">several minutes of damage video</a>. It was recorded by a photographer from his drone, which has a built-in video camera that shot from about 150 feet in the air.</p> <p>"You can provide people in the affected area and outside of it a much greater perspective on just the scope and scale of the disaster," says Matt Waite, who started and leads the <a href="http://www.dronejournalismlab.org/">Drone Journalism Lab</a> at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. When he opened it, it was the first drone journalism lab in the world.</p> <p>"A lot of people ask what's the difference between a remote control helicopter and the thing that you're using, and honestly there's not a lot of difference," Waite says.</p> <p>The main differentiator is that lightweight drones with photo and video capabilities have an automatic feature where they <em>could</em> fly without someone at the controls. The Federal Aviation Administration calls them UASs, or <a href="http://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/uas/">Unmanned Aircraft Systems</a>. But at even 10 or 20 feet in the air, cameras on these news drones capture perspectives you just can't get from the ground.</p> <p>"It's really interesting. It's a totally new way of experiencing the world," says recent Nebraska grad Ben Kreimer. He's a researcher at the Drone Journalism Lab, testing conditions under which drones could fly and the practical problems these devices would run into. At least that's what he was doing until last summer, when the feds sent the lab a cease-and-desist letter.</p> <p>"Based on your university website, you are currently operating a UAS without proper authorization," an excerpt from the letter reads.</p> <p>At the same time the FAA works to craft its guidelines, drones are getting less expensive and more mainstream. It's opening up some big questions.</p> <p>"Can journalists use these, and does the First Amendment protect photographing in a public place, above ground level? And there's some really massive questions out there to be answered," Waite says.</p> <p>The lab is now awaiting a federal permit to fly. Until it gets one, Kreimer and other students have been limited to flying indoors, in an old photo lab or one of Nebraska's indoor football practice facilities. Or, Kreimer goes abroad for test flights. He just returned from India and Kenya, where he captured roaming animals, a centuries-old shipyard and more.</p> <p>"It's crippling to have gone from being in these places where I can go out and operate and I can try out ideas, try stories out, shoot stories — to come back here where I just can't do anything without the risk of getting in trouble," Kreimer says.</p> <p>That risk also means research of the potential for drone journalism is kept from taking off.</p> <p>"The real frontier for drones in journalism is going to be through investigative and explanatory reporting — using them to gather data," Waite says.</p> <p>Until the FAA comes up with its official rules about who can fly and where — which isn't expected until September 2015 — drone users are just waiting.</p> <p>"The potential applications out there for farming, for search and rescue, for infrastructure management, for environmental regulation, for all kinds of things — is really just stuck until the FAA acts. And as soon as they do, you're gonna see an industry just spring up overnight," Waite says. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

At Talladega Superspeedway this Sunday, one of the cars running will stand out from the rest.</p> <p>Dogecoin is the <a href="http://dogecoin.com/">digital currency</a> that's similar to Bitcoin. (<a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/doge">Doge </a>is a slang term for "dog" used in Internet memes. There's a famous image of a puzzled-looking dog that's been a viral hit and it's also the currency's mascot.)</p> <p>Back in March, when someone <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/20mwde/guys_lets_do_it_doge_nascar_style/">posted on Reddit</a> that NASCAR driver Josh Wise needed a sponsor, the Dogecoin community stepped in.</p> <p>"It instantaneously struck a chord within me and I remember sitting there saying this is totally awesome and we need to make it happen," says Kevin Dusenberry. He managed a fundraiser that, in eight days, raised over 60 million Dogecoin — enough to cover the $55,000 needed to sponsor the driver's car at Talladega.</p> <p>For the race this Sunday, Dusenberry and his team will have great seats. "We have Hot Passes so we'll be on pit road for the entire race, cheering Josh on and watching him hopefully come in first place," Dusenberry says.</p> <p>Of course, race cars are branded by their sponsors — so across the hood of Josh Wise's car, sort of peering out at the other drivers as it goes around the track, will be that puzzled-looking doge. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

This month, one of the most famous Norwegian disco producers, Todd Terje, released his first full length album. And now he's covered in vomit.</p> <p>Terje, born Todd Terje Olsen, Skyped with me from Oslo with his three-month-old, Alf, in his arms. At the time of our call, Alf had a bit of indigestion. Terje had a good sense of humor about being interviewed with his son in his arms. He's got a pretty great sense of humor in general. This is the guy who's named his debut record <em>It's Album Time</em>.</p> <p>"It's just incredibly fun music, at its root," says Philip Sherburne, who recently <a href="http://www.spin.com/articles/todd-terje-interview-its-album-time/" target="_blank">profiled Terje for <em>Spin</em></a>. Like many dance music producers, Terje releases 12" singles that often last more than six minutes with looping drums and basslines. But Terje's music is peppered with pop sensibilities. It's a far cry from the stone-faced techno found elsewhere on the blogs that review his records.</p> <p>"He really has a way with a hook, whether it's a bassline or topline melody," Sherburne says. "He manages to evoke this sense of supreme leisure, with these very, sort of, naive, springy melodies."</p> <p>It's that supreme leisure, in part, that makes Terje's music appealing to both freaks for underground dance clubs and those who never stay up until sunrise, a rare feat in online dance communities. His pace of releases, too, has been leisurely, a couple of club singles a year. Until now, Terje has built his name on dancefloors, but on his debut album, he's spreading his wings a bit.</p> <p>Terje grew up in Mjondalen, a rural town in the south of Norway. It's a pretty little slice of suburbia. You can actually walk through it on Google Maps, two-story shops on small streets, a snaking river and rolling hills nearby. Not a town known for its clubbing — not even close. As a child Terje took piano lessons, but he wasn't that into them.</p> <p>"To be honest, I got into music quite late," Terje says. "I remember the first CD I really liked was <em>Off The Wall</em> by Michael Jackson, because my brother gave it to me for Christmas."</p> <p>Later on Terje started exploring house and techno, but he never took disco seriously. "For most of my childhood I saw it as something ironic," he says. "I saw it as a 'Haha' thing."</p> <p>That all changed when Terje heard Norwegian producer Bjorn Torske's track "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5kgVjOA_X8" target="_blank">Sexy Disco</a>." "It showed me that it could have focus," he says. "And that bassline was just so groovy."</p> <p>When Terje was 18 he moved to Oslo to study music, but dropped it after a year because, he says, his classes were too basic. He took up astrophysics. "I thought I was going to man up and get serious."</p> <p>Alas, the fun eventually won out. Terje DJed a school dance with friend and fellow dance music maker <a href="http://www.hplindstrom.com/" target="_blank">Lindstrom</a>. "And then Djing just took off," he says. "It was really difficult to make it to that 8 o'clock lecture."</p> <p>So he worked his way into the Oslo club scene, a town where the bars closed relatively early and DJs played classic disco records. Terje got into making music by editing those records, adding his own spin to the dancefloor.</p> <p>"I started doing edits because I wanted to sound unique," he explains. "Everyone wanted to say they were eclectic, but really they were just playing the same stuff."</p> <p>"<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL3DZ-YDSfw&list=PLCBFEFA799886B962" target="_blank">I Want Your Love</a>" by Chic, "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yotPg4js2BI&list=PLCBFEFA799886B962" target="_blank">Superstition</a>" by Stevie Wonder, and Roxy Music's "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic4xAuIkoFE" target="_blank">Love is The Drug</a>" are a few of the songs that Terje reworked, seasoning the mixes with vocal snippets and basslines to his own taste.</p> <p>This eventually lead to Terje composing his own tracks. Armed with analog synthesizers, he cranked out hit after underground hit year after year: "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCSyA2UQtMg" target="_blank">Eurodans</a>," "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq7qEUnLZto" target="_blank">Snooze for Love</a>," "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebjXsc0UjdQ" target="_blank">Inspector Norse</a>," "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEhge2_L9tI" target="_blank">Strandbar</a>."</p> <p>But <em>It's Album Time</em> isn't just a collection of dance songs. Far from it. Many of the danciest tracks are previously released material. The album opens with twinkling runs wrapped around hats and snares, but when the groove kicks in, it's slower than most of his club fare, with less punch in the low end. It takes a while for that punch to settle, and one of the the first singles off the album is a slow-burner: <a href="https://soundcloud.com/toddterje/johnny-and-mary" target="_blank">a cover</a> of Robert Palmer's "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_SAMrDnXOE" target="_blank">Johnny and Mary</a>," featuring British rock legend <a href="http://www.npr.org/artists/15394808/bryan-ferry" target="_blank">Bryan Ferry</a> on vocals.</p> <p>Ferry and Terje met after Terje remixed a song for Ferry in 2010. They both liked Palmer's song, and when Terje was in London for a gig, he dropped by Ferry's studio.</p> <p>"It has a strange haunting quality to the original," Ferry says. "We tried to do it in a different way, of course. He's just a wonderful guy — a really talented musician."</p> <p>What's next for this jet-setting disco producer with an album out, and a cache of hit singles? "Mostly just trying to get this baby to sleep," says Terje. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

Bai <p>In the spring of 2013, poachers looking for elephant ivory took advantage of the chaos of a civil war raging in the Central African Republic, and massacred 26 rare <a href="http://www.birds.cornell.edu/brp/elephant/cyclotis/cyclotis.html">forest elephants</a> at a special place called the "Dzanga bai."</p> <p>The bai is a muddy clearing, roughly the size of several football fields, surrounded by dense rain forest. For two decades, wildlife biologists have been studying the hundreds of secretive elephants that congregate there. (These elephants were the <a href="http://blog.allaboutbirds.org/2014/05/07/elephant-npr-sounds-video/">focus of an NPR Radio Expeditions program</a> 12 years ago.)</p> <p>Last year's massacre was part of <a href="http://www.npr.org/2013/03/06/173508369/elephant-poaching-pushes-species-to-brink-of-extinction">a new wave</a> of elephant killing that continues to sweep Africa. In hopes of stopping the killing, an extraordinary alliance of conservationists and Israeli soldiers has adopted an unusual, quasi-military approach to wildlife protection.</p> <p>Recently, we caught up with one member of that informal alliance — wildlife biologist Andrea Turkalo.</p> <p>As she <a href="http://www.npr.org/2014/05/08/309089369/civil-war-invades-an-elephant-sanctuary-one-researchers-escape">shared with us</a> Thursday on NPR's <em>Morning Edition,</em> Turkalo had to quickly flee the bai last year as war closed in, shortly before the elephant slaughter. But she's still working to try to save the elephants that remain — collaborating, in part, with Nir Kalron, a former Israeli soldier who now works for <a href="http://maisha-consulting.com/">Maisha Consulting</a>, a security company in Tel Aviv that specializes in wildlife protection.</p> <p>Kalron called Turkalo not long after the massacre and soon after she had returned to the United States. He told her he might be able to protect the bai's surviving elephants.</p> <p>The former commando had heard about the bai massacre, and about Andrea Turkalo's two decades of well-regarded work with the elephants. Her studies focused on how the animals communicate and socialize –- she had hosted numerous other researchers near the bai, and helped set up <a href="http://www.birds.cornell.edu/brp/elephant/index.html">"listening projects"</a> that identified how the elephants use low-frequency sound to communicate. "In a lot of ways, those elephants saved me and made me focus," Turkalo says. "For me, it's not even work — it's my life."</p> <p>Turkalo says she encouraged Kalron to go to the Central African Republic, to make his way to the bai. She told him whom to talk to, whom to trust.</p> <p>Kalron had credentials unlike any conservationist. After serving in the Israeli army as both a commando and a communications expert, he'd set off for adventure in Africa. He hired himself out as a security consultant to African leaders. He also dealt in weapons — legally, he tells us, when we call him in Tel Aviv.</p> <p>"God forbid, no mercenary," Kalron tells us. "I was never a mercenary." But he says he <em>did</em> become disillusioned with the work he did, and with the people he did business with — such as Russian arms dealers. They were the same kind of people, Kalron says, who had sold weapons to the people he'd fought against in Beirut years earlier, while in active service.</p> <p>"The awakening I had was that it was a waste of time," Kalron says of the African arms business. "We should invest time in the environment, and not in equipping and making better or stronger African armies to fight a war that doesn't exist." The real war, he says, "is on the ground in the national parks."</p> <p>After talking with Turkalo, Kalron gathered a team of former Israeli soldiers and traveled to the bai. They arrived about two weeks after the elephant killings.</p> <p>"The bai was empty," he recalls, "full of carcasses and forensic evidence that we found — ammunition casings, tracks on the ground. And we didn't see a single elephant. It was quiet."</p> <p>The poachers had frightened away the surviving elephants. But Kalron knew that the animals would return to the bai, and he suspected the poachers would as well, now that they know where large numbers of elephants congregate.</p> <p>Kalron interviewed the local park guards, who had regrouped after the massacre, about what they'd seen and heard. Then he hatched a plan: to create a military-style reconnaissance team to spy on the bai. His Israeli team would bring in communications equipment — satellite phones, with solar panels to power them. He would train local people how to use these tools to warn authorities if poachers returned.</p> <p>But first he needed the cooperation of the leader of the Seleka coalition of rebel groups that had taken over the area. The leader was known as Col. Bahit. Kalron says he remembers thinking, "Maybe this guy — [it's] not sure — has a lot of blood on his hands. But you have to be pragmatic; he's the guy in charge. What can we do? Say, 'Hey, we're not dealing with you because you are a murderer?' And we don't know [that Bahit is a killer], by the way. He seemed like a very kind person — sympathetic and cooperative."</p> <p>Kalron's experience working with African military officers as well as with park authorities paid off. He brought food and gifts. He spent days talking and negotiating. "We went in, met the colonel, agreed on calming the situation down," Kalron says. "We made a gentleman's agreement that the elephants will not be touched."</p> <p>The colonel told Kalron that his own men had not killed the elephants. In fact, evidence the poachers had left behind — candy wrappers and shell casings of a particular type found near other elephant massacres — suggested these ivory hunters had come from Sudan, on the northern border. Criminal or terrorist groups from Sudan are known to traffic in ivory to raise money.</p> <p>Kalron knew that this mission could get dangerous. He'd already been in a gunfight with poachers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he had trained park guards in military procedures and communication. He knew poachers had been killed in such gun battles, and he'd known park guards who had been shot and killed.</p> <p>But with the all-clear from Col. Bahit, Kalron's group went ahead. Over several trips, they quietly brought equipment from abroad into the bai, and set up their surveillance network.</p> <p>Omer Barak, a team member who is also a former Israeli soldier, says many local people bought into the plan. "I realized that they really care, that the Africans care — not only the officials in different wildlife services, but villagers," he says. "That realization made me feel less patronizing and to not think of it as a new form of conservation colonialism."</p> <p>Today, there are video cameras set up in the forest that transmit real-time images of the bai via satellite. Local people have volunteered to watch for poachers and have protocols for warning authorities if they see suspicious people.</p> <p>Support for all this — including money to fund the effort — comes, in part, from the <a href="http://www.wcs.org/about-us.aspx">Wildlife Conservation Society</a>, where Andrea Turkalo works, and from the <a href="http://worldwildlife.org/species/forest-elephant">World Wildlife Fund</a>. We asked scientists at the World Wildlife Fund what they thought of collaborating with a security outfit — with soldiers who had dealt arms in Africa. The researchers say ivory poaching is so bad now, they need people with skills that environmentalists just don't have.</p> <p>Turkalo says she agrees. Poachers are organized and heavily armed now. They will kill people as well as elephants.</p> <p>"I think, in a lot of areas, we are going to have to have people with [Kalron's] skills dealing with these situations," Turkalo says. "They go in and deal with rebels and warlords." She says Kalron told her, " 'You know, you don't have to kill poachers.' His approach is interesting."</p> <p>And, poaching aside, places where elephants live — like the Dzanga bai — that seemed so remote 12 years ago, are now war zones, the sort of places Kalron and his team know how to navigate.</p> <p>So far, poachers have not returned to the Dzanga bai, and Kalron's team continues to visit, to make sure the security net holds.</p> <p><hr /></p> <p><em></em><em><em><a href="mailto:wjm93@cornell.edu">Bill McQuay</a></em> now works as a sound engineer with the</em> <em>National Public Radio-National Geographic Society Radio Expeditions Sound Collection at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's <em>Macaulay Library</em>.

David would occasionally give Eddie money and a can of food.</p> <p>Eddie recalled how one night, on New Year's Eve, David walked over to him "and says ... 'I'm going to take you home with me for a New Year's Eve party. How would you like that?' "</p> <p>"I went to your home and had a shower, and you gave me some clean clothes," Eddie explained. "And we sat down at the table, and I told you some stories about who I really was, and who my daddy was. There was a lot more to me than you might imagine."</p> <p>Four years later, David persuaded Eddie to move into his home.</p> <p>Today, Eddie is suffering from an advanced stage of emphysema and is in a hospice program. His doctors say he has less than a month to live, so David brought Eddie back to StoryCorps in Durham, N.C., to talk once more about his life.</p> <p>"I honestly tell you, I look forward to dying," Eddie tells David. "There's a lot of people out there that'll do anything to stay alive. Heart transplants, anything. But I'm telling you, I've done my business here, and I'm ready to go home.</p> <p>"And when I wake up in the morning, to tell you the truth, I'm pissed off that I'm still here," Eddie continues. "Only way I get through a day, David, is to say, 'Well, I'm going to make my life worthwhile by saying something of value, that you can keep with you and can help you.' "</p> <p>"And I'm grateful for that," David says. "You're certainly an inspiration to learn about how to live — and the last chapter here, over the months, how to die."</p> <p>"I want to say one thing about you," Eddie says. "You really, really been patient with me, and you cared for me tremendously. That's going to count on your record upstairs, and you got the finest record of anybody. Thank you for helping me so much."</p> <p>"Oh, you've helped me so much," David replies. "Thank you."</p> <p><em>Produced for </em>Morning Edition<em> by Michael Garofalo.

some harsh restrictions on Wichita Falls residents, says Mayor Glenn Barham.</p> <p>"No outside irrigation whatsoever with potable water," he says. "Car washes are closed, for instance, one day a week. If you drain your pool to do maintenance, you're not allowed to fill it."</p> <p>Barham says residents have cut water use by more than a third, but water supplies are still expected to run out in two years.</p> <p>So the city has built a 13-mile pipeline that connects its wastewater plant directly to the plant where water is purified for drinking. That means the waste that residents flush down their toilets will be part of what's cleaned up and sent back to them through the tap.</p> <p>For some citizens, that's a little tough to swallow.</p> <p>"I think it's gross," says Wichita Falls resident Marissa Oliveras. "I mean, it's recycled wastewater that we could possibly be drinking."</p> <p>Oliveras isn't the only Wichita Falls resident who says she plans to switch to bottled water. At Gidget's Snack Shack downtown, customer Kira Smith also plans to spend extra money on bottled water when the recycled wastewater begins to flow.</p> <p>"The thought of it definitely grosses me out," Smith says. "I'm sure that they would clean it and filter it up to standards, but I think just the idea would be — it's sort of a mindset kind of thing, you know what I'm talking about?"</p> <p>The mayor insists the water will be clean and safe, and the city has undertaken a massive education campaign to explain the science behind the process, known as direct potable reuse. Several other Texas cities are pursuing the process. One small hamlet started recycling wastewater in 2011, but not on the scale that's being done here.</p> <p>Some people unceremoniously call it "toilet-to-tap," but the city official overseeing this process, Daniel Nix, says that's not really how it works.</p> <p>"The vast majority of water that enters a wastewater plant did not come from a toilet," he says. "They come from sinks, and bathtubs, and washing machines and dishwashers."</p> <p>Wastewater in Wichita Falls is currently treated and then emptied into the nearby Big Wichita River, where a natural cleansing process takes place. That water is carried downstream to a large reservoir, where other cities treat it further before drinking it.</p> <p>Nix says they'll re-create that natural cleansing process inside the plant.</p> <p>"Inside the treatment plant, we speed those processes up," he says. "So rather than wait several weeks for ultraviolet radiation from the sun to disinfect or kill bacteria, we do it in the plant using chlorine. It takes a matter of minutes to do it instead of weeks."</p> <p>Nix shows off the equipment that will blend the treated wastewater with the city's dwindling supply of lake water. The 50-50 mix will get more chlorination, advanced filtering and reverse osmosis, which will eliminate unwanted minerals, bacteria and parasites like giardia.</p> <p>At Gidget's Snack Shack, owner Julia Spence says she trusts the city. She has to.</p> <p>"You do have to give them the benefit of the doubt, because they have done their research, they've spent a whole lot of money, they've tested, tested, tested," she says. "This is where I was born and raised, and I'm not ready to close my business and pack up and move."</p> <p>Barham says as soon as the state gives the go-ahead, he plans to take the first sip of the recycled wastewater. He's betting that most of his neighbors will also raise a glass and drink. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 KERA Unlimited.

It's a bright plea to a woman to join the singer on some new romantic adventures. For a guy who made his reputation as a morosely troubled, soulful crooner, it's a welcome departure.</p> <p>LaMontagne is a 40-year-old singer-songwriter who has succeeded in the circuitous manner of the current music industry. He spent the early part of his career in the rural Northeast, mostly Maine and Massachusetts, woodshedding songs that were influenced by '60s soul music and '70s singer-songwriters. He has said that the Stephen Stills album <em>Manassas</em> was a pivotal inspiration to pursue a career in music, which is the best thing I've ever heard about <em>Manassas</em>. LaMontagne's chalky voice and murmured confidences, along with Los Angeles recording sessions for his early albums, put him on the West Coast media radar. Pretty soon, his meticulous melancholy was providing mood music, and his songs popped up in the background of TV shows such as <em>Parenthood</em>, <em>Bones</em> and, heaven help us, <em>Criminal Minds</em>. LaMontagne became a reluctant star without being coy or irritating about it.</p> <p>The achievement of <em>Supernova</em> is that, five albums in, LaMontagne hasn't settled into a formula or a fall-back recurring mood. He avoids a lot of first-person woolgathering by populating his songs with people he wants to go places with or needs to win over — the Zoe addressed in "Supernova," a whole song called "Julia," a "Rusty James" and a "Betty Sue" in "Airwaves." He surrounds these people with reverberating electric guitars and tumbling drum figures. The result is headlong music that keeps LaMontagne chasing after his own melodies, which mitigates a flaw in his earlier recordings — a tendency to become dolorously languid.</p> <p>Ray LaMontagne succeeds in part by strenuously trying to prove he doesn't think about success. He's lucky that his insistence upon living in the musical past, of avoiding anything smacking of the contemporary in favor of music he can wrestle away from baby boomers and revitalize — well, that's turned into a new path to success, as well. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

In 2012, while touring in support of her most recent solo record, <em>Charmer</em>, Mann invited Leo to be the opening act. She initially thought her music was a bit too soft and melodic for the progressive punk guitarist of The Pharmacists, but Leo jumped at the chance. After a successful show at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee and a day spent exploring the city, they were inspired to write a song, thanks in part to The Bronze Fonz, a statue of Arthur Fonzarelli from <em>Happy</em> <em>Days</em>, which was set in Milwaukee. Months later, after constant contact via Twitter, the duo joined forces to record an album as a new band called The Both.</p> <p>They returned to the Pabst Theater to perform "Milwaukee," the lead single from their self-titled debut, and chat with <em>Ask Me Another</em> host Ophira Eisenberg about how their strengths have pushed each other's songwriting to a new level.</p> <p>"Sometimes, I'll write a song that I think that 'This a real rockin' song,'" said Mann. "Then my voice gets on it, and once again, it's a lilting folk song. So I really like that Ted brings a lot of energy...and verve...vim...he brings an enormous amount of zeal!"</p> <p>Given the amount of time they've spent touring together, we wanted to know just how much Mann and Leo know about each other's habits and foibles. So in an <a href="http://www.npr.org/2014/05/08/310482371/the-both-the-newly-formed-band-game" target="_blank"><em>Ask Me Another</em> Challenge called "The Newly-Formed-Band-Game,"</a> we challenge the songwriting partners guess how the other person answered a few random questions. Find out if Leo can name the one thing Mann would save in a fire, and the answer may surprise you.</p> <p><h3>Interview Highlights</h3></p> <p><strong>On finding the similarities in their playing styles</strong></p> <p>Ted: I think that what people think are the differences of our backgrounds are a little overstated, you know? I mean, Aimee does play rock songs, and I do make use of melody every now and then.</p> <p><strong>On the duo first encounter with "The Bronze Fonz"</strong></p> <p>Ted: We had a fun day in town being startled by the oddness of the Arthur Fonzarelli statue.</p> <p>Aimee: I'm not gonna lie, it's not the greatest likeness. I'm sure you guys are proud of it, as you should be.</p> <p><strong>On who spends more time checking their smartphone</strong></p> <p>Aimee: Ted is a smartphone wizard. I've never seen anybody text as fast or tweet as fast, or have such a ready hand with the emojis.</p> <p>Ted: It's perhaps the speed differential that made me answer that you actually spend more time on your smartphone. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

bass drop can break my heart as effectively as a guitar melody. So I'm thrilled when lyric-centered songwriters like <a href="http://www.npr.org/artists/134005493/james-blake" target="_blank">James Blake</a> or <a href="http://www.npr.org/artists/15191158/bjork" target="_blank">Bjork</a> use the tonal language of dance music to move beyond the dance floor.</p> <p>Add to that list Amelia Meath, whose gorgeous work with <a href="http://www.npr.org/artists/137229700/mountain-man" target="_blank">Mountain Man</a> had me thinking she was merely a folk-singing savant who probably made her own kombucha. But with <a href="http://www.npr.org/artists/298363663/sylvan-esso" target="_blank">Sylvan Esso</a>, her new group with electronic-music producer Nick Sanborn, all bets are off.</p> <p>Sylvan Esso's debut isn't just folk songs with electronics replacing stringed instruments. Instead, it uses the loops, builds and programmed beats of dance music to warp and reframe old-school melodies. You may even recognize a couple, like the spectral fragment of Tommy James and the Shondells in the song "Coffee." Unlike much electronic music, the tempos are generally slow and the arrangements spacious, so Meath's voice has plenty of room to maneuver.</p> <p>Some listeners still find electronic music dehumanizing, yet Meath and Sanborn know that, at this point, most of us are cyborgs to some extent. What matters is how we flex our humanity alongside the machines. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

The latest reboot of the sci-fi blockbuster brings a new take on the monster's iconic roar to the silver screen.</p> <p>Ethan Van der Ryn and Erik Aadahl designed the sound for the new movie.</p> <p>"I think that the Godzilla roar probably tops the King Kong roar in terms of iconic-ness," Van der Ryn says.</p> <p>"It leaves a big footprint," Aadahl says.</p> <p>Over the past 60 years, each incarnation of the film since has taken a slightly different recipe for cooking up the sound. In the 1954 original, the sound effects team tried, unsuccessfully, to use animal sounds to create the roar. It was Japanese composer Akira Ifukube who had the idea to use a musical instrument to create the shriek we all know.</p> <p>"It was actually a double bass, using a leather glove coated in pine-tar resin to create friction," Aadahl says. "They'd rub it against the string of the double bass to create that sound."</p> <p>Van der Ryn and Aadahl started on the roar for the latest film three years ago. It took them about six months to <a href="https://soundcloud.com/godzillamovie">get to this</a>:</p> <p>When the film's director, Gareth Edwards, heard it, he had to know what it was.</p> <p>"We actually decided not to tell him until a little more than a month ago, when we had finished the film," Aadahl says. "Because it's kind of like a magic trick. If you show, OK, the card is right here in the sleeve and I'm going to pull it out, and that's the trick, it kind of diffuses it. It ruins it."</p> <p>Despite many requests, the sound designers would not reveal the secrets of the sauce for this latest roar.</p> <p>"I think more so than any other sound effect we've designed, we have a certain protectiveness over that sound. It's when you're giving voice to something, you're giving it its soul. And if we tell everybody exactly how we did it, people will think of that when they hear the roar, and we want them to think of Godzilla," Aadahl says.</p> <p>"We actually were sworn to take it to our graves with us," Van der Ryn adds. "No lie — by Thomas Tull, the head of Legendary [Entertainment]."</p> <p>They did share some of the details of the process. They played a lot with anything that created friction — experimenting with the sounds of rusty car doors and rubbing the surface of a tom drum.</p> <p>Using a scientific microphone, they captured sounds at frequencies outside the realm of human hearing, and then pitched them down in the studio.</p> <p>What "that allowed us to do was exploit this vast universe of sounds that really people have never heard before," Van der Ryn says.</p> <p>They also recorded the shriek blaring from the Rolling Stones tour speakers on the back lot of Warner Brothers studios. This allowed them to capture the echoes and reflections of the roar off the cityscape. It also caused some commotion.</p> <p>"The neighbors started tweeting, like, 'Godzilla's at my apartment door!' Aadahl says. "And we were getting phone calls from Universal Studios across town, because tour groups were asking, 'What's all that commotion going on down in the valley?' "</p> <p>"The sound that we were playing actually traveled over 3 miles," Van der Ryn says. "100,000 watts of pure power." <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

Guy's Exit <p>For the first time in decades, researchers trying to develop a vaccine for malaria have discovered a new target they can use to attack this deadly and common parasite.</p> <p>Finding a target for attack is a far cry from having a vaccine. And the history of malaria vaccines is littered with hopeful ideas that didn't pan out. Still, researchers in the field welcome this fresh approach.</p> <p>Over the past four decades, researchers have developed about 100 potential vaccines for malaria. The best of the bunch is still only modestly successful in children, who are at greatest risk for the disease. The mosquito-borne parasite kills more than 600,000 children a year, mostly in Africa.</p> <p>So <a href="http://brown.edu/initiatives/global-health/spotlight-global-health/spotlight-global-health-0/jonathan-kurtis-md-phd">Dr. Jonathan Kurtis</a>, at the Rhode Island Hospital and Brown University, decided it was time for a fresh start. He had developed a severe case of malaria while he was an undergraduate studying abroad in Kenya. And he learned just <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/malaria/about/facts.html">how devastating this disease can be</a>, not only killing young children but causing hundreds of millions of cases of debilitating illness every year.</p> <p>Kurtis and his colleagues started with samples of blood that had been methodically collected from children in Tanzania by Drs. Michal Fried and Patrick Duffy at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Kurtis' team carefully examined those samples to find small but crucial differences between children who got infected but didn't fall seriously ill and children who developed a severe case of the disease.</p> <p>"We're finding the rare needle in a haystack," Kurtis says. "We're finding the rare parasite protein that generates a protective immune response."</p> <p>Earlier vaccine efforts have produced antibodies that target proteins on the malaria parasite that it uses to break into red blood cells — the parasite reproduces inside those cells. But the particular parasite protein that Kurtis isolated from the blood of these children wasn't part of that invasion pathway.</p> <p>"Our parasite protein is critical for the parasite's escape from the red cell," he says. "And it needs to escape from the red cell if it's going to go on and infect other red cells and multiply."</p> <p>When Kurtis looked at children who had been infected with the malaria parasite but didn't get seriously ill, he discovered that their young immune systems had produced antibodies that attack this escape protein. In this group of children, not one of them developed serious illness from malaria, "which is sort of astonishing, actually," Kurtis says.</p> <p>He and his colleagues <a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/lookup/doi/10.1126/science.1254417">report this result</a> in the latest <em>Science</em> magazine. But this is just the beginning of the story.</p> <p>"This is a long way from a vaccine that can be used in humans," says <a href="http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/dyann-wirth/">Dr. Dyann Wirth</a>, at the Harvard School of Public Health.</p> <p>"But I do think this addresses what I feel is one of the problems with the current malaria vaccine approach," Wirth says. "And that is the field seems to be focused on molecules that were discovered decades ago."</p> <p>This really is a fresh idea, she says, championed by a scientist who is not personally invested in the molecules discovered long ago.</p> <p>Since even the best of those earlier molecules is only partially effective, the field could really use some new ideas.</p> <p>For his part, Kurtis isn't promising that his discovery will be the be-all and end-all for malaria prevention.</p> <p>"It would ludicrously fortuitous to think that this would be a stand-alone vaccine," he says.</p> <p>But if it works even partially, it could eventually be used in combination with other malaria vaccines to deliver a one-two punch against the parasite.</p> <p>There's a lot more testing to do. The potential vaccine will be tried in monkeys, and if it looks promising there, Kurtis can start the long and challenging process of testing it in people. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

Spider-Man 2</em> opens this weekend, and some moviegoers will pay up to $6 more to see it in IMAX, where the screens are bigger and the action should be more intense. "So real you can feel it in your bones," is how IMAX puts it. But is the IMAX at the multiplex the same as the IMAX you can see at the museum?</p> <p>From underwater to outer space, IMAX has produced some astounding images of the natural world. One of the first IMAX films, <em>To Fly</em>, has been showing at the Smithsonian since 1976 and is still popular.</p> <p>IMAX was co-founded in the late 1960s by a group of friends in Canada who had filmmaking and engineering experience. Large format films existed, but they wanted to revolutionize them. With public funding, they built special theaters with screens reaching six stories high and seven stories wide, surround sound and seats on a steep slope that put you even closer to the action. They used cameras with triple-width, 70 millimeter film — 10 times the size as what's used in ordinary cameras.</p> <p>"It's just breathtaking," says Zarth Bertsch, director of IMAX theaters at the Smithsonian. "It's one of the key ways that we disseminate the museum mission. It gives an immersive experience for the guests."</p> <p>American astronauts started taking IMAX cameras into space in 1984. But in the early 1990s, a new generation of IMAX executives was dreaming about a particular place on Earth — namely, Hollywood. IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond says they knew there was potential to make the company profitable, so they tried making films that would please both museums <em>and</em> Hollywood. But that didn't work out so well.</p> <p>"We did a dinosaur movie, and the institution said: Wait a minute, the dinosaur has six toes, whereas in life it only had five toes, so we're not going to play it," Gelfond recalls. "And the commercial theaters said: Wait a minute, no kids are eaten by dinosaurs, so it's not exciting enough for the commercial market."</p> <p>So they tried to court the commercial market in other ways. They developed digital and 3D cameras that were easier — and cheaper — to use than their film counterparts. They partnered with established Hollywood filmmakers to make movies like <em>Avatar</em> and <em>Polar Express</em>. They persuaded big movie theater chains to convert their multiplexes into IMAX theaters.</p> <p>"I prefer the IMAX movies, preferably IMAX 3D," says Martinez Brown, who was coming out of a recent showing of <em>Captain America</em> at a theater in Washington, D.C. He's also seen IMAX documentaries at the Smithsonian. The difference, he says: The museum is more visceral.</p> <p>"You're actually inside of it, versus in the movie, it's not that interactive," he says. "You don't feel as immersed in it."</p> <p>Brown says he's willing to pay a premium price of $16.25, but these retrofitted theaters don't live up to the original IMAX brand.</p> <p>"If they're going to advertise it as being IMAX, why not just bring that same experience over to the movies?" Brown says.</p> <p>Some angry film buffs call these retrofits "LieMAX." Jeff Bock, an analyst with Exhibitor Relations, says IMAX doesn't make it clear to the public that these two experiences are different.</p> <p>"There's no IMAX Extreme or IMAX to the Max, which would be a great way to identify how different [these experiences] are," Bock says.</p> <p>But whatever brand confusion exists, IMAX is still going strong. Last year the IMAX showings of <em>Gravity</em> made over $100 million worldwide — 15 percent of its total grosses.</p> <p>But where does this leave museums? The majority of institutional IMAX theaters are still made to show 70 millimeter film.</p> <p>"We all need to convert to digital, because film is diminishing and soon to be gone," says the Smithsonian's Zarth Bertsch. "It's a bit sad because film still is higher quality than most digital that is out there."</p> <p>But IMAX executives believe digital technology might soon surpass film in quality. The company is investing over $40 million to develop a laser projection system that will offer "greater brightness and clarity," and "a wider color gamut."</p> <p>But IMAX film lovers have a Hollywood crusader on their side — Batman director Christopher Nolan, who first became a fan of IMAX when he was a teenager and saw documentaries like <em>To Fly</em>.</p> <p>He used IMAX film to breathtaking effect in <em>The Dark Knight Rises</em>. In one aerial scene, the villain hooks a captive to a cable, pulls a switch, and you watch the airplane fall away — leaving them, and you, suspended high in the sky, with stunning views of the earth below.</p> <p>"Those big film projectors and those big film screens are absolutely still the best possible image that's out there, and it's not going to be touched by new technology for a long time," Nolan says.</p> <p>Nolan shot his next movie,<em> Interstellar,</em> with IMAX film, and he says IMAX theaters — made to show film — will be the best way to see it. But, he says, he'll also make the movie available in digital for the multiplex. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

music until he'd come very close to the other side. In 1986, he was on a train in Peru, en route to Machu Picchu, when a bomb planted by the Peruvian terrorist group Shining Path exploded in the luggage rack above him. The people he was sitting with were killed. His body was torn apart. He had a brain injury and severe hearing loss, and he required more than 15 reconstructive surgeries.</p> <p>Somehow during his long recovery, songs started coming to him. Several of them are related directly to the attack and his near-death experience, while others are like short stories, written in the voices of characters. Some of his most beautiful songs are like hymns. His latest album is titled <em>Say Grace</em>.</p> <p>"I think that my job is to reveal as much as I know and hope that it's helpful to somebody," he tells <em>Fresh Air</em>'s Terry Gross in an interview about the bombing and the faith he gained in humanity.</p> <p><hr /></p> <p><h3>Interview Highlights</h3></p> <p><strong>On the Peruvian train bombing that almost killed him </strong></p> <p>"I had gone to South America with friends, and we were young — I guess I was almost 32 — and we got aboard a train for Cuzco, which is where Machu Picchu, the beautiful ruins, are. And someone put a bomb in a backpack, a red backpack, on the car that I got on. I was sitting by a German boy. His mother was across from him and his father was knee-to-knee with me. Two people sit facing two people, and the bomb was on the luggage rack right above this poor woman's head. So the German boy and I talked for a second, and then I looked back and the bomb went off — and it was probably not that good of a bomb, because so much of the blast went straight up. I think if they had been able to flatten the blast better, I think it would've killed a lot [more people]. I think that day it killed six or seven, different accounts say.</p> <p>"It did kill the woman, this boy's mother — killed her real fast and really violent, and killed his father real fast and real violent. And then it killed him, but it took a number of hours for him to die. I didn't see that. I had a cut artery and it had blown my ears in, and I was in a bad place. I thought I had a heart attack and then an external voice, English, said, 'You are accompanied by death. Death accompanies those around you.' And at that point, I knew that they were dead or dying and I was dying. I say it's a voice, but it was more like a cellular — something that passed through on a cellular level. At that point, I became, I guess, willing to die, because I said to myself, 'Well, if this is death, let's get about it.'"</p> <p><strong>On the line 'Everyone is at the mercy of another one's dream' in his song 'Angels'</strong></p> <p>"The whole first record was so that I could set that line up, so I could say, 'We are all at each other's mercy.' Once again — empathy, empathy, empathy. We are all at each other's mercy, and if you have this dream of destruction, it's not going to come out well for all of us. Because I felt like that was such an important thing to say, we follow that up with an eight-minute really beautiful rondo that says, 'This is like a reflecting pool after that one line.'"</p> <p><strong>On how the bombing changed him</strong></p> <p>"I went through so many surgeries, and I was around so many people who were in such terrible pain and in worse shape than I was. Yeah, something changed. One thing that changed was the sense that all suffering is universal. That we suffer, you suffer, that we all do ... me, especially what I learned was empathy, and the faith that I got was the faith in us as a group, as humans." <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

Until recently, that possibility was a slim one; "lifers," who are mostly murderers, rarely got out of prison.</p> <p>But that's changing. Since 2009, more than twice as many lifers have been paroled in California than in the previous two decades combined.</p> <p>The shift in parole policy comes as California is under orders from the U.S. Supreme Court to relieve prison overcrowding. But state officials insist the rising number of lifers being paroled has nothing to do with that. Instead, they say, it's the confluence of several other factors, including a 2008 state Supreme Court ruling that made it harder to deny parole to inmates who are no longer considered dangerous.</p> <p>Since that ruling, parole boards have recommended release at a much higher rate than in previous years — and Gov. Jerry Brown is blocking fewer paroles than his predecessors.</p> <p>Today, even for murderers, the possibility of parole is more than just a pipe dream. The change is being felt on both sides of the prison walls.</p> <p><strong>Inmate: 'I've Moved So Far From That Person That I Was'</strong></p> <p>In a spare room just outside the main walls of San Quentin State Prison, inmate Kent Wimberly makes his case for parole. "Today I've moved so far from that person that I was," he says. "I've developed so many tools and so much understanding and maturity and so much more compassion for others."</p> <p>In 1979, Wimberly stabbed and killed two people in San Diego. He was 17 at the time; today, he's 51. Wimberly tells the parole board how he's changed over his decades in prison: "[I] continue to work on myself and to monitor my behavior, my thoughts, my feelings."</p> <p>This is the 12th time Wimberly has appeared before the parole board. After a three-hour hearing, parole board Commissioner Marisela Montes announces the decision: "We find that Mr. Wimberly does not pose an unreasonable risk of danger to society or threat to public safety and is therefore now eligible for parole."</p> <p>State data shows that Brown's appointed parole board commissioners are granting parole to prisoners like Wimberly at a much higher rate than in the past. In 2008, just 8 percent of lifers' hearings resulted in parole; in 2013, it was 29 percent.</p> <p>The Board of Parole Hearings notes that one reason the parole grant rate is higher is that many inmates unlikely to win parole are cancelling their hearings rather than risk being denied and having to wait up to 15 years for their next hearing, as required under Marsy's Law, a voter-approved initiative. However, the board acknowledges that, even factoring in Marsy's Law, there has been a significant increase in parole grants.</p> <p><strong>Under Gov. Brown, Fewer Vetoes</strong></p> <p>But the parole board's recommendation is not the final word. California is one of just three states where governors can block<em> </em>parole decisions. And while previous California governors routinely vetoed parole for lifers<em>, </em>Gov. Brown is allowing 80 percent<em> </em>of parole recommendation grants to move forward.</p> <p>Brown describes his approach toward making these parole decisions in simple terms: "to follow the law and evaluate very carefully each case, which I do every week." As for the difference between his rejection rate and those of previous governors, Brown says, "I don't know what they did and whether they read the record or whether they looked at the law." And, he points out, the law has changed.</p> <p>He's referring to the 2008 decision by the California Supreme Court that ruled that parole denials could not be based on the viciousness of a crime alone. Instead, the justices said, there must also be evidence that an inmate is <em>still</em> a threat.</p> <p>The case involved Sandra Davis Lawrence, who fatally shot and killed a woman during a jealous rage. The parole board recommended her release four times, but it was reversed by three different governors. The state Supreme Court cited "overwhelming" evidence that Lawrence was rehabilitated and therefore no longer dangerous.</p> <p>Jennifer Shaffer, executive director of the State Board of Parole Hearings, says that decision changed everything. "As you can imagine, if their crime alone could keep them from being paroled forever then that was really not life <em>with</em> the possibility of parole. So there had to be something else," she explains.</p> <p>Since that decision, more than 1,800 lifers have been released — more than twice the number paroled in the previous two decades combined.</p> <p><strong>'An Experiment With Public Safety'</strong></p> <p>Not everyone is happy about the trend. Christine Ward, the executive director of the Crime Victims Action Alliance, calls the new policy an experiment with public safety.</p> <p>"It really is like playing Russian roulette," Ward says. "We just hope that that one time bomb doesn't go off and create that really serious, heinous crime that will leave not only that family devastated but the entire state devastated. We've seen it before."</p> <p>Even the possibility of parole can be painful. At a recent rally for crime victims' families in Sacramento, Susan Hamlin spoke about the upset caused by having to attend a parole hearing for someone who victimized her family:<strong><em> </em></strong>"The dread of this hearing and fear of his possible release set in a full year prior to the hearing," Hamlin said.</p> <p>The sidewalk was lined with posters showing photos of murdered relatives. Brown told the crowd that those victims weren't forgotten: "When you come here and you show us the pictures of real human beings who are your loved ones who were murdered, then it isn't abstract," he said. "It's a person."</p> <p><strong>For Older Parolees, A Low Rate Of Recidivism</strong></p> <p>A study by the Stanford Criminal Justice Center found that among murderers paroled in California, fewer than 1 percent<em> </em>were returned to prison for new felonies. The main reason? Paroled lifers are typically older and therefore much less likely to commit violent crimes.</p> <p>James Thomas can attest to that. He went to prison at the age of 17, after killing someone during a robbery in Los Angeles.<em> </em>He's now 47. After being denied parole 14 times, Thomas was finally released last year.</p> <p>"Everybody makes mistakes — some a little more costly than others," Thomas says. "I think once a person makes that transition from one lifestyle to another, he should be or she should be given opportunity to live their life in peace and be respected for it."</p> <p><strong>Preparing For The Possibility Of Freedom</strong></p> <p>As more lifers win parole, they face a challenging transition: After decades inside jail, much of that time spent with little expectation that they'd <em>ever </em>be released, they must adjust to the world outside. The state's Department of Corrections has begun new programs to help inmates prepare — like a course on leadership at San Quentin State Prison.</p> <p>It's called Exploring Leadership and Improving Transitional Effectiveness, or ELITE. Over the course of several weeks, the inmates learn how traits like impulsiveness, pessimism, anger and lack of personal empathy contribute to criminal behavior. They also learn skills like active listening, managing emotions and coalition building through consensus. Taking the course both preps inmates for life outside prison and helps them show they are suitable for parole.</p> <p>On graduation day, about 50 inmates — most of them lifers — come up, one by one, for a diploma and a photograph. After the ceremony, Associate Warden Jeff Lawson says that as more and more lifers are granted parole and leave prison, the inmates here are taking notice.</p> <p>"Most of these guys understand there is a light at the end of the tunnel now, so it just helps improve the overall environment for them," Lawson says. "And it gets the ones who were maybe straddling the fence to actually get off the fence and get on the right side."</p> <p>Inmate Duane Reynolds just completed the leadership course. On the way back to his cell block, he describes the crime that sent him away: <em>"</em>I murdered my supervisor, high on drugs. So my life was out of control."</p> <p>Reynolds was 30 at the time. He's now 54 and, while he's been turned down for parole three times before, he's hopeful that the next time will be different.</p> <p>"The fact that people are going home is just really encouraging to a lot of individuals," Reynolds says.</p> <p><strong>Adjusting To Life Outside</strong></p> <p>Gregory Rivers was just released from prison after serving more than three decades for murder. The former gang member was 17 at the time. Now 55, he recalls his first full day on the outside: "That morning when I woke up, got dressed, I was scared to open the door. Because while I'm free physically, mentally I still have some work to do."</p> <p>He worries that his newfound freedom will lead to trouble — and back to prison.</p> <p>"I do plan to walk a straight and narrow path and give back to society," Rivers says. "You know, it's remarkable that I was given a second chance when I didn't give my victims a second chance."</p> <p>At a Chinese restaurant in Berkeley, Calif.,<em> </em>Rivers joins a dozen other former lifers<em> </em>recently released from prison. All the men were trained in prison to be drug and alcohol counselors by the Berkeley-based nonprofit Options Recovery Services. Sitting around a large corner table, they talk about life on the outside. They celebrate things most people take for granted, like getting driver's licenses, and share stories about getting re-acquainted with their children and grandchildren.</p> <p>One of them, Vandrick Towns, has been out of prison less than a year. He's working as a substance abuse case manager, but he remembers how hard it was to find that first job. "For my first six months nobody wanted to touch me," he said. "When it got to the job interview, 'Oh you're very articulate, you're very educated. Oh, you're a parolee? Uh, sorry. Next.' "</p> <p>Thomas, the man who was imprisoned for murder at 17, talks about humility and resisting disappointment after being turned down for jobs. The key, he says, is patience.</p> <p>"Everything good will come to you if you just wait for it. I've tried to chase it and I guarantee you, it's an uphill battle trying to catch it," he says.

He also notes that he later found out that circumcision helps protect women from contracting cervical cancer — adding, "Well, that was just the cherry on top!"</p> <p>The ad is a centerpiece of an unprecedented campaign in Africa over the past several years to promote circumcision as a way to prevent HIV. This week researchers announced that the program has reached a <a href="http://www.plosmedicine.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pmed.1001641">remarkable milestone</a>: Six million men and teenagers were convinced.</p> <p>But the goal is to get 14 million more to sign up by 2016, and even at the current pace, public health officials are not on track to achieve that number. So they believe they need to change their message. That's why Napster doesn't mention the words HIV or AIDS in his radio spot.</p> <p>The drive to circumcise men kicked off in 14 African countries after studies demonstrated that getting circumcised reduces a man's chances of contracting HIV by <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/prevention/research/malecircumcision/">60 percent</a>. (Removing the foreskin creates a less hospitable environment for the virus.)</p> <p>Health officials then ran the numbers. They determined that if 80 percent of teenage and adult men in 14 countries in Southern and Eastern Africa — where circumcision is not commonly practiced — were to get "the cut" by 2016, there would be 3.4 million fewer new infections through 2025.</p> <p>At first just stating the purpose of the campaign seemed sufficient. But for a lot of men, the downsides of going under the knife just don't seem worth the benefit.</p> <p>"It's not an easy sell, you know? It's probably the greatest marketing challenge of all times," says Dino Rech, head of the <a href="http://www.chaps.org.za/">Centre for HIV and AIDS Studies Prevention</a>, who has helped lead the effort to circumcise men in South Africa.</p> <p>Rech says men fear circumcision will be painful. They're also deterred by the prospect of having to wait six weeks before they can have sex again.</p> <p>Men in Zimbabwe had similar complaints, says <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0085051">Webster Mahvu, a researcher who interviewed men there</a>.</p> <p>Some men also worried about the HIV test that everyone must take before the operation, Mahvu notes. Others told him their wife objected — asking their husband why he would worry about HIV unless he were planning to cheat.</p> <p>Then there were the rumors that the circumcision drive was a plot to sterilize men. Or that the foreskins could be used for witchcraft.</p> <p>But Mahvu's research also pointed to a way forward. He asked those men who did volunteer why they signed up. While a lot of them talked about HIV, they also gave reasons that had nothing to do with the disease: Being circumcised is more hygienic, they said. They also believed women would find them more attractive and that they would last longer during sex.</p> <p>That's essentially the message Zimbabwe's campaign is now focusing on. Over the past five months officials have enlisted a who's who of celebrities to spread the word that circumcision is cool. Along with Napster, there's a famous footballer, a major gospel singer, an eminent poet and <a href="http://www.herald.co.zw/latest-jah-prayzah-gets-circumcised/">Mukudzei "Jah Prayzah" Mukombe</a>, who is perhaps Zimbabwe's most famous musician. He produced a pro-circumcision song that became an instant hit. On top of their radio and television spots, the celebrities are appearing at concerts and touring clinics.</p> <p>It's working. Zimbabwe's men are showing up in droves — 20,000 a month.</p> <p>All of which raises a question: Is it fair to promote an operation for reasons different from the true motives behind the campaign?</p> <p>"It's not lying to people. We have to promote getting circumcised," says Karin Hatzold, a public health physician with <a href="http://www.psi.org/">Population Services International</a> who helped shape Zimbabwe's marketing campaign.</p> <p>She points out that HIV rates there have fallen significantly over the past decade. So while it's still a problem, HIV may not be the most pressing concern on people's minds.</p> <p>And for a circumcision campaign to work, Hatzold concludes, you have to talk to people about what worries them — not what you think they should worry about. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

You can't see a thing — unless something happens to move. You can see the rain falling from the sky, the steam coming from your coffee cup, a car passing by on the street.</p> <p>This was the world that Milena Channing claimed to see, back in 2000, shortly after she was blinded by a stroke at 29 years old. But when she told her doctors about these strange apparitions, they looked at her brain scans (the stroke had destroyed basically her entire primary visual cortex, the receiving station of visual information to the brain), and told her she must be hallucinating.</p> <p>"You're blind and that's it," Channing remembers them saying to her.</p> <p>Frustrated and convinced these visions were real, Channing made her way from doctor to doctor until she finally found one who believed her: Dr. Gordon Dutton, an ophthalmologist in Glasgow. He told her he'd once read about such a case — a solider in World War I who, after a bullet injury to the head, could only see things in motion.</p> <p><a href="http://brain.oxfordjournals.org/content/121/1/25.full.pdf">Riddoch's phenomenon</a>, Dutton told her it was called, named for the Scottish neurologist <a href="http://jmb.sagepub.com/content/18/1/35.extract">George Riddoch</a> who named it. And then he prescribed her ... a rocking chair!</p> <p>Here's why: If this is about motion, only being able to see things in motion, she'd be able to see the stationary world, at least a little, if she herself started moving.</p> <p>It helped. In the weeks and months after her visit (after employing other techniques like shaking her head), Channing began to see the world more vividly. And when she finally visited <a href="http://culhamlab.ssc.uwo.ca/culhamlab/">a team of neuroscientists in Canada</a> (five years after her stroke), they filled in the picture. It turns out that one area of her brain 's cortex — an area reserved specifically for processing motion (<a href="http://www.cns.nyu.edu/~david/courses/perception/lecturenotes/motion/motion.html">visual area MT</a>, for middle temporal area) — had been preserved. So even though information wasn't going through the primary visual cortex, somehow it was still getting out to the part of the brain that can register objects in motion.</p> <p>Cue the cars. And the rain. And the coffee steam. Channing was truly seeing them.</p> <p>But here's the catch. Though this compartmentalized nature of vision may have been Channing's blessing, it's also proving to be a quiet curse. Just as there seems to be an area of the brain that processes motion, there is one for faces; and as much as Channing's vision continues to improve, she still can't recognize — even perceive — a face.</p> <p>Channing says that every now and then, that hard boundary of what she can and can't see frustrates her. "Who does she look like?" Channing wonders, as she gazes straight at her daughter's face.</p> <p>For an artist's rendition of Milena Channing's world, watch the video above, which also explains a bit more about the modular nature of vision. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

Film Festival awarded of its highest prize, the Palme d'Or, to the Turkish film <em>Winter Sleep</em> on Saturday. Twenty years ago, <em>Pulp Fiction</em> took that same award and triggered writer-director Quentin Tarantino's ascent to the A-list.</p> <p>The movie introduced the world to a number of now-legendary characters, including a very mysterious one: the Gimp.</p> <p>The character, who didn't have a single line in the film, was still extremely memorable. Clad head-to-toe in studded black leather, with a zippered hood that allowed only his manic eyes to peer through. He's kept locked up, the willing slave of two shop owners, and makes an appearance in one of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8kPqAV_74M">most troubling scenes</a> in recent film history (see a clip below).</p> <p>The Gimp has become an emblem of creepiness — an essential part of the adrenaline machine that was <em>Pulp Fiction</em>.</p> <p>So, who was the man behind the mask?</p> <p>"I've kept it from the children up until this moment," actor and writer Stephen Hibbert, who played the character, tells host Arun Rath. "Not actively so, but they're 14, 12 and 10, so they're a little young for <em>Pulp Fiction</em> still."</p> <p>Hibbert says his journey to the role started with a friendship with Tarantino. Back in the early '90s, Hibbert was part of the comedy troupe The Groundlings, and Tarantino would come and perform with him in improv shows.</p> <p>When Tarantino was writing and casting <em>Pulp Fiction</em>, he asked if Hibbert wanted to come read for the part of the Gimp.</p> <p>"You could tell, even by the script, this was going to be a pretty special film," Hibbert says.</p> <p>Since the Gimp has no actual lines, the audition was an unusual one.</p> <p>"He and I did like a little psychodrama where he was, you know, being dominant and I was being passive. Just improv," says Hibbert. "I got the job and it was a blast. It was two days' work, and he just said, 'Go nuts.' So I did."</p> <p>Hibbert says the costume was a big help.</p> <p>"I think if I didn't have that mask on, you'd see that I was bright red and embarrassed beyond comprehension," he says.</p> <p>And yes, Hibbert says, the outfit is as uncomfortable as it looks.</p> <p>"The set was really hot and uncomfortable, and that leather gear — plus I was padded as well," Hibbert says. "Everyone was extremely kind and acknowledged how uncomfortable that gear was."</p> <p>The star-studded film was an important career moment for many actors — John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman. Not so much for Hibbert, whose face was never revealed. Hibbert says he's OK with that.</p> <p>"I didn't necessarily want to be recognized for the Gimp," he says. "I never sent out, you know, 'Merry Christmas from the Gimp' Christmas cards."</p> <p>Back when he got the role, he was also, ironically enough, working in children's television — writing for <em>Tiny Toon Adventures</em> and <em>Animaniacs</em>. Today, the Los Angeles-based actor and writer says he's "kind of unemployed," but he does freelance work and goes out for commercial auditions.</p> <p>"Like everyone else," says Hibbert, "keep on fighting the good fight." <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

managers in the drought-stricken Southwest gear up for another long and expensive wildfire season, federal fire scientists are trying to better understand the physics behind what makes blazes spread.</p> <p>At a U.S. Forest Service fire lab in Riverside, Calif., a team of scientists is conducting daily experiments over the next few months on different fire behavior conditions. They hope to hand off their findings to fire managers, who have to make the quick decisions on where to deploy resources that could protect lives and property.</p> <p>The centerpiece of the lab is a 30-foot-long, 10-foot-high wind tunnel and inside is a layer of wood shavings meant to mimic a dry, forest floor. Above them, resting on a shelf, are freshly picked green shrubs, the live green trees in this soon-to-be simulated forest fire.</p> <p>"OK, collect in three, two, one. Start!" shouts lab technician Christian Bartolome, a graduate student at nearby UC Riverside.</p> <p>That's the signal for another fellow tech to turn on the wind and light a fire in the dead wood shavings. Just like that, there's ignition and the lab smells like campfire. With a little more breeze, suddenly it's more like a bonfire. The ground fire easily jumped to the live green shrubs, which are surprisingly flammable.</p> <p>The lab is blazing hot and ash is falling everywhere, enough so that David Weise, the lead research forester, has to shield his eyes and back away from the wind tunnel.</p> <p>"That elevated canopy looks to be burning with flames on the order of eight to ten feet," Weise says. "Even though it's green, it's really burning quite well."</p> <p>After all, these are the plants that blanket the chaparral hills of Southern California and Arizona, notorious for fueling some spectacular wildfires. But what Weise wants to know are the precise conditions that turned this small blaze into a potentially large one; one that would be almost impossible to control in the field.</p> <p>"What we're trying to do here is conduct these experiments so that we can produce models, which can be used to perhaps predict what might happen under conditions that might be outside of a manager's experience," Weise says.</p> <p>Weise says that with improved models of fire behavior, that fire manager will have a better idea where to put resources to get out in front of the fire. His team plans to conduct these daily experiments under all types of different wind speeds, humidity and types of fuel for a couple more months.</p> <p>There is a sense of urgency with research like this. It turns out that most of the fire behavior models commonly in practice today are based on research conducted 40 years ago. And there's no indication that wildfires are going to get any less severe anytime soon.</p> <p>Most of those outdated models are also based on what a fire does in dead or dry fuels, not live fuels, according to Tim Sexton, a former incident commander who's now with the National Inter-agency Fire Center in Idaho.</p> <p>"If you have very specific understanding of the live fuel moisture, that may make the difference," Sexton says.</p> <p>Sexton says research that could help fire managers do their jobs better has never been so important. Firefighters are encountering more dangerous blazes as the West experiences larger and more intense fires due to drought and the spread of development into the woods. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.

It's about an inch or two thick, with 20 pages. But these pages do a lot more than convey information. Each page also serves as a water filter, a valuable tool for preventing waterborne illness in the developing world. Globally, about <a href="http://water.org/water-crisis/water-facts/water/">3.4 million people</a> die each year from water-related diseases.</p> <p>"A lot of water issues aren't just because people don't have the right technology, but also because they aren't informed why they need to treat water to begin with," says Theresa Dankovich, the chemist who developed the filter paper. "So I really like the educational component, and it's very nice to store it in a book."</p> <p>The pages are about a millimeter thick and contain silver nanoparticles. The silver can rid the water of harmful microbes, but has very little effect on humans.</p> <p>"Essentially the microbes come in contact with silver in the paper and as a result they are killed by the interaction and the water is clean for us to drink," she says.</p> <p>To use the book, you rip one of the pages in half, slide it into the filter box (which doubles as a cover for the book) and pour contaminated water through. After a few minutes, the bacteria is reduced by 99.9 percent and is comparable to U.S. tap water.</p> <p>Dankovich has been working on this paper for years. The book came together when an ad agency designer got wind of the technology. The ad agency, DDB, linked Dankovich's technology with WATERisLIFE, one of its clients. And the drinkable book was born.</p> <p>The water safety tips, printed in nontoxic ink, include washing your hands before eating and keeping trash away from your water source. That information will be printed in English and local languages.</p> <p>"Our main goal is to reduce the spread of diarrheal diseases, which result from drinking water that's been contaminated with things like E. coli and cholera and typhoid," Dankovich says. "And we think we can help prevent some of these illnesses from even happening."</p> <p>The books cost just a few dollars to make; each piece of filter paper costs about 10 cents. The filters can last a couple of weeks, even up to a month. So the entire books could provide the tools to filter clean water for about a year.</p> <p>Dankovich tested the paper in South Africa last year. This fall she'll take the drinkable books to Ghana for more tests and feedback. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2014 NPR.
