Noel King, on the day shift, with some stories we're following today.

This morning on The Takeaway we spoke to New York Times reporters Jane Perlez and Eric Schmitt, who reported on the release of more than 90,000 classified military documents by the website Wikileaks.org. Tomorrow, we speak to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange— a man whom some consider a hero and others call a villain.

BP quarterly earnings are due out tomorrow. Bloomberg’s Alice Schroeder tells us what to expect. Meanwhile, Tony Hayward might soon get his life back. Robert Dudley, an American, is expected to replace Hayward as CEO of BP. We’re asking some of our regular guests from the Gulf region to weigh in on what they would like a new CEO to do first.

Arizona’s immigration law SB 1070 is set to take effect on Thursday and we’re asking how residents—documented and undocumented—are preparing. We’re digging into a report out of Pima County that some immigrants are returning home, and that increased security and high temperatures are leading to more and more deaths along the border.

Greg Mortenson, author of "Three Cups of Tea," joins us to talk about how his book became a must-read at the Pentagon. Mortenson’s Central Asia Institute has built over 100 schools for girls in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He weighs in on the way forward in the region.

And a slice of life from Houston: Reporter Melissa Galvez hit the streets to ask city residents if the Gulf spill is changing the way they think about energy consumption. The answer may surprise you.

Plus, author Gary Shteyngart on his new book “Super Sad True Love Story,” and seventy years of Bugs Bunny.

UPDATED 9:00 p.m EST

Alex Goldmark here on the night shift with a quick update. Tomorrow morning the Obama administration will be announcing their strategy for combating HIV/AIDS. We will be getting the details straight from the source, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius.  

That's pretty much the only update right now. 

Caitlin Shamberg here with a look at tomorrow’s show.

We continue to follow the fallout from Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s interview with Rolling Stone magazine. He’s apologized for the profile, but what do his incendiary quotes say about the underlying tensions between the White House and the military? We speak to Retired Col. Jack Jacobs for some insight into military etiquette.

President Obama released his plan to end homelessness. The plan seeks to put an end child and family homelessness in ten years, while getting rid of homelessness among veterans in five years. We get closer to the story to see if this is a move toward Housing First, a commitment to getting people into their own homes as the first measure toward social stability.

Is immortality possible? “Long for this World” author, Jonathan Weiner tells us why the quest for the fountain of youth is so embedded in the human psyche and whether immortality is even a realistic goal.

We’ll go live to South Africa to get the latest on the World Cup. The New York Times's George Vecsey is in South Africa where he’ll tell us what to look for in the crucial US-Algeria match.

And get ready for our summer pie (think blueberry, not apple) smackdown! Melissa Clark joins us to talk about the delicious intricacies of cherry pie while Smitten Kitchen’s Deb Perelman is all about the blueberry. The competition will be judged, and the pies will be devoured.

UPDATED 6:20pm

Arwa Gunja, here on the evening shift.

Earlier today, the Supreme Court ruled on what many legal experts are calling the most significant decision on free speech in terrorism cases. In a 6-3 ruling, the Court said neither domestic organizations nor individuals can provide “material support” to foreign terrorist groups. It is still unclear what “material support” means and how far-reaching the implications of the ruling may be. Tomorrow morning we’ll talk with David Cole, who provided legal counsel for the Humanitarian Law Project, the plaintiff in the case.

In another court case that began today, a Connecticut judge will soon decide whether cheerleading classifies as a sport. In the case, the Quinnipiac University women’s volleyball team has sued the school for cutting its budget to fund the cheerleading squad. The volleyball team says that cheerleading is not a sport under Title IX, the civil rights law that requires schools to equally allocate resources to men’s and women’s sports teams. Linda Carpenter the author of “Title IX,” will explain how the groundbreaking law works, and whether cheerleading qualifies.

Speaking of higher education, tomorrow we’re asking, is graduate school really worth it? More than a quarter of people graduating with a Bachelors Degree this year will go on to pursue graduate degrees. But do graduate degrees increase your chances of finding a job and does the ratio of debt to salary cancel out of the benefits of the degree? Takeaway work contributor Beth Kobliner will weigh in, along with a former graduate student. What do you think? If you went to graduate school, was it worth it? And if you are currently unemployed, are you thinking about going back to school? To share your comments, call us at 877-8-MYTAKE or leave us a message here on our website.

UPDATED 5:10 p.m.

Arwa Gunja here on the night shift.

Moments ago, I got word from our newsroom that the Times Square Bomber, Faisal Shahzad, is due to appear in Manhattan federal court today. WNYC’s Ailsa Chang is at the court, and our team will check in with her later tonight to get the latest. So far, Shahzad has been fairly cooperative with law enforcement and federal investigators so we’ll see if that changes today in the court room.

In political news, polls close tonight in a handful of states across the country holding primary elections. We’ve closely been monitoring the races in Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Arkansas. These races are important because incumbents may lose their seats and voters may back candidates different from those supported by their national parties. We’ll bring you the results and election analysis tomorrow morning … and we’ve got a nice lineup of guests, including Republican strategist David Frum, Penn. Gov. Ed Rendell and U.S. Senator Bob Casey also from Pennsylvania.

Tomorrow we will also be covering the death of a seven-year-old girl who was shot by police in her home in Detroit. Takeaway member station WDET is closely following this story and tells us that residents in Detroit are outraged and speaking up about the story. Detroit has had a long history of distrust between the community and the police department. This latest incident may be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and forces real change within the police force, or at least that’s what some in Detroit are hoping for. We’ll talk with WDET station manager Jerome Vaughn to get the latest and hear how the community, local government and the police are reacting.

And after weeks of financial advice, tomorrow we end our Do It Yourself Bailout series with Beth Kobliner. For our final installment, Beth takes on one of the ultimate financial hurdles for many Americans: how do you merge finances when you merge families?

And, all day today we've been asking listeners how they would rebrand their state. Arizona is going through this process right now in anticipation of losing revenue due to their controversial immigration law. If you had to give your state a new slogan, what would it be? To give us your suggestions, call our comment line at 877-8-MYTAKE or you can leave us a message right here on our website. We've also launched our text messaging platform this week. Just text "TAKE" to 69866 (standard rates may apply) and send us your response through your mobile phone.

Updated 5:30pm EST

The show has taken a bit of turn as The Dow Jones industrial average plunged more than 550 points in five minutes and a total of nearly 1,000 in total. Then as quickly as it fell, it came back up. The Wall Street roller coaster ride today also pushed the euro to its lowest level in over a year. Meanwhile in Greece, the Parliament passed a package of austerity measures in hopes of preventing an economic collapse. Thousands in Greece are protesting the government and the rioting turned violent on Wednesday when protesters set fire to a bank, killing three workers. What would make you take to the streets here in the US in protest of the government? Call our comment line at 877-8-MYTAKE or leave us a message here on our website.

To help explain how Greece’s economy may have impacted the markets today, we’ll talk with Charlie Herman, The Takeaway and WNYC economics editor. And later in the morning, new unemployment numbers come out. We’ll be watching that closely to bring you the latest.

UPDATED 7:15 p.m. 

Alex Goldmark here on the evening shift. 

All is well here with a few changes from Anna's post earlier.

For one, police have seized the computers of the Gizmodo blogger who published reports of a "lost" next generation iPhone. And the legal implications of this for journalists, including shield laws, have us debating way more aspects of this case over the cubicle walls than we'll have time for tomorrow. 

We're adding another angle to our coverage of Arizona's new immigration law. We'll hear from law professors who will explain how the presumption of innocence and the burden of proof have evolved over time, and where this new law fits. It won't be the first time a class of free and legal Americans will have to be able to prove their status in order to walk the streets of their city. 

And our man in DC, Todd Zwillich, is walking the halls of the Capitol right now, mic in hand, monitoring the preliminary votes and opening shenanigans in the financial regulation reform debate in the Senate. 

UPDATED 10:30 p.m.

Alex Goldmark here with a late night update. We're calling everyone we can in West Virginia about the deadly mine explosion that has killed seven and trapped nineteen miners. Tomorrow morning we'll have an update for you on the status of the trapped men and on the conditions that led to the disaster. 

We're also, watching, literally at this moment, the NCAA men's basketball finals. So you can count on a recap of the game, which so far is pretty exciting. We also want to find out how Butler's Cinderella run will benefit their bottom line - will Butler black replace Carolina blue in the cash cow color wheel of jerseys and college merchandise? 

We're also following a stories on Toyota, legalized marijuana and yes, Tiger Woods. So, its a good mix tomorrow. 

UPDATED 6:15 p.m

Alex Goldmark here picking up the evening shift. 

We're watching a few different stories in the running for tomorrow's show. First up, is a nagging curiosity we've had for a few days now. A smattering of local press a few days back labelled Memphis the hunger capital of America. We're finding out why Memphis stands out. 

It occured to us that if it is such an enormous undertaking to pull off the US census, what is it like in India where they have more than a billion people? Well it takes more than two million census workers for one. 

And we'll have  another installment of our value series with Farai Chideya looking at how the changing economy has changed people's moral outlook in some way.
