Caitlyn Jenner is on a mission. Accepting the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs Wednesday night, she said she will be turning to advocating for transgender people.

“Trans people … deserve your respect,” she told the gathering of famous athletes.

In a video produced for the award ceremony, Jenner said she had come to a “revelation”: “Out of all the things that I have done in my life, that maybe this is my calling.” She added, “Maybe I can bring understanding on this subject. It’s time that I do my best.”

Jenner made her transition to being a woman public in an interview with Diane Sawyer in April. In a Vanity Fair article published in June, Jenner — the famous track and field athlete once known as Bruce — announced, “Call me Caitlyn.”

“With attention comes responsibility,” Jenner said in her acceptance speech Wednesday night. She spoke of transgender teens struggling around the country.

“It’s not just about me. It’s about all of us accepting one another,” she said. “We’re all different. That’s not a bad thing.”

First Listen: Omar Souleyman, 'Bahdeni Nami'

Omar Souleyman's new album, Bahdeni Nami, comes out July 24.

There may be no more unlikely act in indie/electronic music than a sunglasses-and-keffiyeh-wearing wedding singer with a chain smoker’s gruff voice. But Omar Souleyman is no ordinary musical act; if anything, he’s one of the most resilient performers you’ll see on the summer festival circuit, whether it’s at FYF Fest, Big Ears Festival or Bonnaroo. Not that Souleyman’s music is inherently strange itself. His repertoire draws on the dabke, a Levantine Arab folk circle and line dance popular at weddings across Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan and Souleyman’s home country of Syria. And, while the synthesizers deployed by his close musical collaborator Rizan Sa’id update the bouzouk or mijwiz accompaniment, Souleyman’s sound would seem traditional to most of his countrymen.

But Souleyman exists in a cultural purgatory of sorts, exiled from Syria due to the ongoing conflict there and touring across the world before audiences that might never understand the heartbreak in most of his lyrics, much less know how to dance to dabke. He may be the most popular (read: only) dabke performer known to stateside listeners, but in most Arab-American communities, he’s rather obscure. What carries Souleyman’s electrified folk form across to festivalgoers is the 4/4 underpinning everything. It’s what no doubt helped land his latest album, Bahdeni Nami, on Modeselektor’s Monkeytown label.

While most of Souleyman’s previous output (some speculate that there are more than 550 recordings) is produced by Sa’id, beginning with 2013’s breakout album, Wenu Wenu, Souleyman began to interact with outside producers. Four Tet‘s Kieran Hebden helped last time around, and he appears again in the title track, as do the likes of Gilles Peterson, Legowelt, Black Lips and Modeselektor itself. Despite that eclectic range of folks in the producers’ chair, they mostly follow Hebden’s previous example in respecting Souleyman and Sa’id’s vision and not leaving many fingerprints on the music itself.

Where the dance-music influence is most noticed is in the duration of the seven tracks here, almost all of which stretch beyond the seven-minute mark. That extended run time allows for more of Souleyman’s vocals, but it also gives plenty of space to Sa’id, his dizzying keyboard shredding an ecstatic thing. Four Tet and Peterson keep closest to Souleyman’s previous aesthetic, while the two Modeselektor-produced tracks boast a more pronounced kick drum. Providing a curious new wrinkle is Dutch legend Danny Wolfers, who as Legowelt adds analog whooshes and an acid-tinged kick to his remix of the title track. Rather than keep Souleyman’s stoic, powerful voice front and center, he instead beams it in from another galaxy.

Our Marvel Expert Weighs In On 'Ant-Man' – How's It Stack Up?

Get ready, Scott Lang fans – your time has arrived! Okay, sit down. Both of you.

Truth is, I am of two minds about Ant-Man. On the one hand, it is noticeably similar to Iron Man, with its tale of a scientist (Michael Douglas as Hank Pym) who uses his technology for part-time superheroics, fighting against the controlling interests (Corey Stoll as Darren Cross) at the company he founded, who would sell his tech to the highest bidder within the military industrial complex. Unlike Iron Man, Ant-Man is too often inert, stuffed with exposition and far more talking than doing. If you wanted your Marvel movies to feel smaller, well, here’s one.

But for some brief, and truly glorious moments, Ant-Man really comes alive. The shrinking effects are wonderfully realized by director Peyton Reed, along with cinematographer Russell Carpenter and effects supervisor Daniel Sudick. The 3-D is artful and has a clear purpose. The finale is something else – a symphony of comedy and action mayhem that outclasses every single second that comes before it. Nothing else in the movie even comes close.

This will either send you home happy or have you wondering why the first hour wasn’t as good as the final minutes. Paul Rudd plays our lead, Scott Lang, a petty thief enlisted by Pym to steal Cross’s “Yellowjacket” armor before a bad situation gets worse. Pym trains Lang with the help of his estranged daughter Hope (Evangeline Lilly). She’s also Cross’s confidant but falls more in line ethically with her father. The opportunity to be a superhero gives Lang a shot at redemption, which also means a shot at weekend visitation rights with his daughter.

Ant-Man settles on “Tell, Don’t Show” as its approach, and many of its scenes have an odd redundancy to them. We’re told repeatedly that Lang is an activist who only targets one-percenters, but we never see this from Lang himself. Not only does he not express his personal politics (though other characters do it for him), he easily allies himself with a one-percenter when the time comes to do the job. Similarly, other characters reference Darren Cross slowly going insane from exposure to his formula of shrinking particles, but we never actually see this happen. The film already opens with Cross as an opportunistic slimeball so there’s no discernible change, and we never see him use the particles on himself. Even if other characters are saying it, we’re simply not seeing it.

Rumors of Marvel’s heavy hand in the editing room are more apparent here as well, with a gore gag involving a shrinking lamb noticeably out of sequence with that scene’s obvious pay-off, which actually happens in a bathroom minutes before. Moments of the film are indistinguishable from Marvel’s TV product, directed too matter-of-factly, framed against blandly glossy sets, and scored to a irritatingly generic facsimile of what movie music should sound like. Characters have conversations shot in talking head medium close-ups; the better to edit with, since no one is talking to anyone who is visible in the frame with them. Your ability to forgive Ant-Man’s overall lack of polish, from script to screen, will vary.

The reason for that is that Ant-Man is very entertaining when, y’know, it’s being entertaining. Rudd is scrappy and confident, Douglas is always a welcome screen presence, and the core concept of a tiny guy who can control ants provides enough of a foundation for zany FX-driven action-adventure that it seems almost difficult to mess up. Peyton Reed snaps awake when he gets to play with moments like Ant-Man’s ant training montage or the way Ant-Man fights or how Ant-Man’s environment is shot depending on his size. Effects have come a long way since Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and so much of Ant-Man really does feel like we are seeing something we haven’t seen before. It’s CG done for the purpose of bringing scale to life and it works incredibly well.

Comic fans will enjoy seeing Lang brought to the screen faithfully. Pym isn’t quite the guy we know from the comics, but that’s primarily due to the actor’s age. Marvel, perhaps knowing this, gives us some specifically nerdy Pym-related Easter eggs and some direct Avengers nods to satisfy any feelings of comic book unfaithfulness. Yellowjacket, though a name associated with Pym in the comics, is very much his own thing here, and putting Darren Cross in the armor is similar all-around to Iron Man‘s Iron Monger. The design of his costume elevates him into something memorable, (even if the screenplay lets him down). He looks damn cool.

So, Ant-Man is “good but…” and not “great and…” Good but sloppy. Good but talky. Good but not great. It’s tinier than Age of Ultron, which is to be expected, but still beholden to setting up pieces for the next Marvel Studios event picture, if you’re curious. I can’t speak to the Edgar Wright situation, and I don’t know that his long-gestating version would’ve been better because it doesn’t exist. I can only speak to the film I saw and it’s going to make some Ant-Man fans for the very first time, which is Marvel’s modest goal despite the film’s immodest budget. See it in 3-D; see it for the fun of it, but decide for yourself if Marvel’s recent fare shows they might be getting too comfortable as the king of the box office anthill.

Beyond A Bailout: Greece Needs Debt Relief, IMF Says

Whatever comes of the latest bailout plan for Greece, it may not be enough to save the country’s economy, a new report from the International Monetary Fund says.

The IMF says Greece is so saddled with debt that it probably can’t turn its economy around for years — even if it does everything its creditors want. The IMF wants European officials to grant some kind of debt relief to Greece, but such a move has been strongly opposed by Germany.

Before this year, Greece’s troubled economy had been slowly getting back on its feet. But the bank shutdowns and debt default of the past few weeks have erased many of its gains, Harvard economist Ken Rogoff says.

“They’re in free fall at the moment,” he says. “You still can’t get money out of the ATMs; it’s really hard to get bank loans. So in the very near term, this situation’s extremely grim — likely to get worse before it gets better.”

If Greece is ever to recover, it needs investment dollars. But the current uncertainty and turmoil are scaring investors away, says Nicolas Veron, visiting fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

“There is also the constant threat of an exit from the eurozone, and very plainly there are a number of people in Germany who have made it known that they thought it remained a good idea and this acts as a constant drag on investment in Greece,” he says.

Even if Greece complies with all the economic reforms that its European creditors want — and that’s a very big if — IMF officials say it still faces very tough going. Economists generally think that a country is in trouble if its debt levels exceed about 90 percent of its annual gross domestic product. The IMF says Greece’s debt load is well above that and rising fast.

“The IMF forecast is that debt-to-GDP ratio in Greece will go to 200 percent in 2017 if all those measures are implemented, and that’s far beyond any capacity to pay it back,” says Aidan Regan, a lecturer at University College Dublin.

Regan says that as a country that exports very little, Greece has no real chance of growing fast enough to pay off its debt anytime soon. In that sense, he says, the debt load has become unsustainable.

The IMF passed on a chance to write down Greece’s private sector debt in 2010, in what it later acknowledged was a big mistake.

Domenico Lombardi of the Center for International Governance Innovation says the situation “is really getting out of hand. The IMF wants to raise this issue more strongly and with greater determination.”

A lot of economists agree with the IMF that without debt relief Greece’s fate is essentially sealed. European officials have already had to extend the deadline for Greece to pay what it owes.

Veron, of the Peterson institute, says as a result Greece’s condition isn’t as dire as some people believe. “Because repayment is so much into the future and the interest rates are pretty low, there is not a big burden on the Greek economy from the repayment of that debt,” he says.

But Lombardi says Europe needs to go further. “What is required is really a more fundamental and more radical approach rather than kicking the can down the road as it has been done so far,” he says.

Any debt relief will have to get the approval of Germany, and German officials have repeatedly made clear they’re unwilling to write down Greece’s debt — something that would be hugely unpopular in Germany. They have left open the possibility of extending the terms of Greece’s loans again, but even then it will take many years for Greece to pay off what it owes.

John Boehner Calls For Probe Of Planned Parenthood After Sting Video

3:05

Download

House Speaker John Boehner is calling for an investigation of Planned Parenthood after a sting video alleged the organization sells aborted fetal body parts, which is illegal.

Transcript

AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:

A group called The Center for Medical Progress is accusing Planned Parenthood of illegally selling fetal body parts attained from abortions. They’re making their case with a sting video. On Capitol Hill, the House Judiciary Committee says it will investigate Planned Parenthood for its part. Planned Parenthood says it’s the victim of deceptive editing and false claims. NPR’s Jennifer Ludden reports.

JENNIFER LUDDEN, BYLINE: The video shows Planned Parenthood senior director of medical services at a restaurant lunch. Between sips of red wine and bites of food, Deborah Nucatola talks casually about the fetal body parts most in demand.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

DEBORAH NUCATOLA: A lot of people want intact hearts these days because they’re looking for specific nodes.

LUDDEN: Intact hearts she says, lungs and especially livers.

NUCATOLA: I’d say a lot of people want liver. And for that reason…

LUDDEN: It’s hard to understand after that, but she goes on to say most providers will do this under ultrasound guidance so they’ll know where they’re putting their forceps. The video was taken a year ago by the activist group Center for Medical Progress which had two people pose as employees with a biotech company. In a highly edited version released Tuesday, the video insinuates that Planned Parenthood is illegally selling the body parts.

Planned Parenthood did not respond to requests for an interview but in a statement, spokesman Eric Ferrero denies the allegations. He says clinics, quote, “help patients who want to donate tissue for scientific research just like every other high-quality healthcare provider.” Ferrero says payments are only for the actual cost associated with that.

JOHN ROBERTSON: That is acceptable under federal law.

LUDDEN: That’s John Robertson, a bioethicist at the University of Texas. He says fetal tissue has been harvested for medical use for decades helping to develop vaccines and find treatments for Parkinson’s disease, diabetes and other conditions.

ROBERTSON: This would not be done unless there’s good, useful research being done. Yeah, they’re not just playing around with this stuff.

LUDDEN: Robertson says he realizes the whole practice sounds gruesome, but he says even performing an abortion in a way that preserves intact organs for research is perfectly legal. David Daleiden is with The Center for Medical Progress which made the video. He calls the practice incredibly disturbing.

DAVID DALEIDEN: I want to see – and I think most Americans who see these video tapes want to see – Planned Parenthood held accountable for activity that’s criminal, activity that is troubling and disgusting to most Americans and activity that’s funded with taxpayer dollars.

LUDDEN: It’s a theme a number of Republican presidential candidates have picked up on. Here’s Scott Walker today in South Carolina.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

SCOTT WALKER: In case you haven’t seen this awful, outrageous, disgusting video, we defunded Planned Parenthood in our state, and we passed pro-life legislation.

(APPLAUSE)

LUDDEN: The House leader who announced an investigation into Planned Parenthood also called again for a federal ban on abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Meanwhile, the video’s backer says he has lots more secret recordings and plans to roll them out in coming months. Jennifer Ludden, NPR News Washington.

Greece's Parliament Poised To Vote On Austerity Measures

Greece’s parliament is expected to approve the controversial austerity measures struck Monday with the country’s creditors, but opposition to the agreement is tearing apart the ruling left-wing Syriza party.

Joanna Kakissis, who is reporting for NPR from Athens, tells our Newscast unit that Syriza was elected six months ago to end austerity. She says:

“[M]ore than half of the leftist party’s central committee signed a statement slamming the deal signed by their leader, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. Former Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis compared the deal to the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, which crushed Weimar Germany and helped fuel World War II.”

“These negotiations failed because the creditors refused the only issue that would put Greece on a viable path again,” Varoufakis said, “the issue of debt relief.”

Tsipras maintains that though the deal signed Monday was flawed, the alternative, an exit from the eurozone, was worse.

Parliament is expected to vote tonight on the agreement.

Debt relief for Greece was the focus of a study released Tuesday by the International Monetary Fund, one of Greece’s creditors, which called the country’s debt burden “highly unsustainable.” The fund said it would not support the new bailout unless the agreement reduced the country’s debt burden.

That position puts the Washington-based IMF in conflict with Greece’s other creditors — the eurozone and the European Central Bank. The New York Times notes:

“The deal announced Monday morning stated that the creditors would not forgive any Greek debt and offered only a general assurance of further discussions about reducing annual debt payments by stretching out payment periods or reducing interest rates.

“The fund’s decision to go public with its stance suggested that the draft agreement would be only the starting point for further negotiations about the sustainability of Greece’s debt and the willingness of its lenders to recognize they might not get all their money back.”

Greece owes its creditors about $330 billion, according to the Times, an amount that has been estimated to be 177 percent of the country’s gross domestic product.

States Make Laws To Protect Patients From Hidden Medical Bills

Nothing like an unexpected bill to ruin your recovery.

Nothing like an unexpected bill to ruin your recovery. Julie Nicholls/Corbis hide caption

itoggle caption Julie Nicholls/Corbis

It’s a situation that occurs all too often: Someone goes to the emergency room and doesn’t learn until he gets a hefty bill that one of the doctors who treated him wasn’t in his insurance network. Or a diligent consumer checks before scheduling surgery to make sure that the hospital she plans to use and the doctors who will perform the operation are all in her network. Then she learns later that an assistant surgeon she didn’t know — and who wasn’t in her network — scrubbed in on her operation, and charged her for it.

“If we’re mandating that people buy insurance coverage it seems we should also protect them from surprise medical bills,” says Mark Rukavina, founder of Community Health Advisors in Chestnut Hill, Mass.

If an out-of-network doctor or other provider doesn’t have a contract with a health plan that determines how much they get paid for services, they may bill the patient for any charges not covered by insurance. In those instances, the consumer could be on the hook for the rest of the bill, a practice known as balance billing.

Although there’s no federal restriction, about a quarter of states have laws on the books against balance billing by out-of-network hospitals, doctors or other providers, in at least certain circumstances such as emergency care.

New York recently took that sort of action. The state’s law, which became effective for coverage that renewed after March 31, significantly expands consumer protections, and may be the most comprehensive legislation of its type, says Jack Hoadley, a research professor at Georgetown University’s Health Policy Institute.

“If the pieces work like they set them up to, it feels like they’ve got all the bases covered,” says Hoadley, who recently coauthored a study that examined protections in seven states against balance billing.

Under the New York law, patients are generally protected from owing more than their in-network copayment, coinsurance or deductible on bills they receive for out-of-network emergency services or on surprise bills.

A bill is considered a surprise if, for example, patients at a hospital or ambulatory surgical center that’s in their network receive services from a doctor who, without their knowledge, is out-of-network. In addition, if consumers are referred to out-of-network providers but don’t sign a written consent form saying they understand the services will be out-of-network and may result in higher out-of-pocket costs, it’s considered a surprise bill.

“A key element that is really new is that for anyone who gets a surprise out-of-network service, or who doesn’t get the right disclosure [beforehand] about it, there’s a way for the consumer to step out of the middle of the transaction,” says Mark Scherzer, legislative counsel for New Yorkers for Accessible Health Coverage, an advocacy group for people with chronic illnesses and disabilities.

Under the New York law, to get relief from a surprise bill a consumer first needs to complete an “assignment of benefits” form that allows the provider to pursue payment from the health plan. The patient then sends the form and the bill to her insurer and to the provider. As long as she’s taken that step, she won’t be responsible for any charges beyond her regular in-network cost sharing.

“Consumers basically say to the doctor or the hospital, ‘I’m giving you my rights to reimbursement; you can duke it out with the insurance company,’ ” Scherzer says.

In situations involving out-of-network emergency care, patients should inform the insurance company if they receive a bill. The insurer will take it from there.

The law also sets up an independent dispute resolution process for providers and health insurers to settle disputes that arise regarding emergency services or surprise bills.

It’s too soon to say how well the law will work, but consumers are already calling the hotline of the Community Service Society of New York to find out if they’re eligible, says Elisabeth Benjamin, vice president of health initiatives there.

“So many times people just give up,” Benjamin says. With the new law, they may not have to.
