I went ahead and did this for my site thanks to Dirk's suggestion.
in lib-common.php
go to line 899 (aproximately) where you see this code:
Text Formatted Code
$pagetitle = stripslashes( DB_getItem( $_TABLES['topics'], 'topic',
"tid = '$topic'" ));
And add something like this underneath:
Text Formatted Code
$topictitle = stripslashes( DB_getItem( $_TABLES['topics'], 'topic',
"tid = '$topic'" ));
$topictitle = 'News: ' . $topictitle;
Then a few lines down around 926 where you see:
Text Formatted Code
$header->set_var( 'background_image', $_CONF['layout_url']
. '/images/bg.' . $_IMAGE_TYPE );
And I added this above the line:
Text Formatted Code
$header->set_var ( 'topic_title', $topictitle);
Then go to your layout\header.thtml and add {topic_title} where ever you want it displayed.
