Question: What day did the seizing of the television stations happen?

Reporters in Istanbul covered a police raid on their own offices on Wednesday, as the Turkish government seized control of two television stations and a newspaper group critical of the governing party just four days before national elections. Scuffles between officers and reporters unfolded on live television as the police broke into the shared headquarters of the two channels, KanalTurk and Bugun TV, and ushered in court-appointed trustees who were placed in charge of the company that owns the media group, Koza Ipek Holding.

Question: Who is a Bernstein analyst?

Timothy D. Cook, Apple’s chief executive, called the new iPad Pro “the most capable” tablet the company has ever created. With a larger screen and optional keyboard, it becomes a device that is meant to be useful for both the creation and consumption of content. “It makes sense for Apple to reveal a new keyboard along with new, larger-screen iPads with faster processors,” said Toni Sacconaghi, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein. “The message being that Apple is trying to push the iPad to be more of a PC replacement, a converged device of a tablet notebook that has broader computing powers.” But starting at $800 (not including the optional $170 keyboard and the $100 stylus), it is much more expensive than earlier iPads.

Question: When was the most recent settlement by the jail?

Tuesday’s move is the latest in a long push by the A.C.L.U. to force changes at the jail. The group filed its first class action on behalf of inmates in 1993, saying the poor conditions constituted cruel and unusual punishment. In the years since, the jail has staved off court orders by agreeing to improve conditions. The most recent settlement was in 2009. But the A.C.L.U. said the state had failed to make meaningful improvements at the jail, which overwhelmingly houses poor, black residents caught up in drug-related crimes.

Question: What kind of windows are throughout the home?

This rustic cedar-shingled house was built in 1976 and updated within the last seven years. The interior is bright and cozy, with stained-glass windows and skylights throughout. Common areas are on an open plan, with a living area that has a pitched ceiling with skylights and a wall of glass facing the lake. Floors are a light-colored cherry, while most ceilings and walls are cedar paneled. The bathroom has a tub made from a hollowed-out cedar log. One bedroom is on the main level; the second is upstairs, set into a nook-like space with slanting walls and a skylight. Also upstairs is an office with peekaboo views of the downtown skyline.

Question: Does Puerto Rico's Congressional Representative get a vote?

Q. How is Puerto Rico different from a state? A. Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States. It is a distinction that, for years, has carried many of the advantages of being a state and few of the downsides. Most notably, Puerto Rico receives federal assistance, but most of its residents do not pay federal personal income taxes. But the lack of statehood is now hurting the island at its time of greatest need. Unlike states, which can authorize their municipalities to declare bankruptcy, Puerto Rico has no such access to bankruptcy courts for its government entities. That has left the island facing a chaotic debt restructuring with no legal referee. While there are proposals on Capitol Hill to give Puerto Rico bankruptcy powers, the island’s status hurts here, too. Puerto Rico’s lone representative in Congress has no vote, which has hampered the bills’ progress.

Question: Why did the donor ask for the money to be returned?

“Help us raise back the $100,000 a donor asked us to return because we welcome transgender girls,” read the headline on the page, which included a video about the Girl Scouts’ commitment to inclusivity. In a little over five hours, Ms. Ferland says, the site had already received over $100,000 in donations. By the end of that first day, the number was up to $243,958 from 4,760 donors. By the time the fund-raising effort was concluded a month later, the organization had raised $365,573. It was a victory for the Girl Scouts and a lesson for the philanthropic community. “The lesson for the fund-raising community is that if you’re interested in accessing the L.G.B.T. market, your values have to be those of inclusiveness,” says Mickey MacIntyre of realChange Partners, a consultant for nonprofits, focusing on L.G.B.T. issues.

Question: What will persistent pumping of well result into?

If the connection between groundwater and surface water is considered, that time frame for running out of water altogether will almost certainly be even shorter. Arizona’s top water official told ProPublica that it was both politically difficult and costly to properly account for the interconnection. But deep in a 685-page document that is part of Arizona’s water plan, the state lists 42 groundwater basins that it says are connected to surface water, indicating a potential conflict over rights to those supplies. It’s unclear how much water flows from one into the other, but the documents show that many of the water sources are heavily relied on as sources of both groundwater and surface supplies at the same time. Thomas Buschatzke, the director of Arizona’s Department of Water Resources, acknowledged that pumping from wells could dry up streams, but said the current law kept the two resources separate, and “it would be a huge upset to the economy to do away with that.”

Question: When was Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu running for re-election?

But the effort to restore full electricity supplies seemed to indicate an Israeli desire to reduce tensions with the Palestinians, or at least not have them escalate further. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is running for re-election on March 17, is already under pressure because of acute tensions with the Obama administration over his plans to address a joint meeting of Congress next week about the nuclear talks with Iran. Relations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority took a turn for the worse after President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party signed a reconciliation agreement last April with Hamas, the Islamic militant group that controls Gaza, contributing to the breakdown of troubled American-brokered Middle East peace talks.

Question: Besides mammography, what is another thing that costs more than is saved?

There’s also the unavoidable fact that every time you prevent people from dying from one disease, they are likely to live longer and incur future medical expenses. The patient who benefits from the cholesterol screening may go on to develop cancer, arthritis, Alzheimer’s or some other costly illness. There are some prevention measures that actually do seem to save money. Counseling on contraception is one because the costs of prenatal care, delivery and pediatric care associated with an unplanned pregnancy are so substantial. But a lot of the preventive health measures that we tend to value a lot — mammography, screening for diabetes — tend to cost more than they save. Researchers like Mr. Cohen, who study these trade-offs, say we need to think more broadly about the value of what our preventive spending buys, not the narrow question of whether it saves money.

Question: Where could Mr. Norris get free interview clothes and health exams?

A growing number of state and federal officials from both parties are supporting measures to decrease the prison population by lightening punishments for some drug-related offenders, who according to federal data make up roughly half of the 1.5 million federal and state prisoners. The Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 eliminated the five-year minimum sentence for first-time possession of crack, and decreased higher mandatory punishments for dealing crack with a prior criminal record. The day after visiting the probation office, Mr. Norris met with a social services agent who briefed him on more than a dozen state assistance programs, including ones that offer free interview clothes and health exams at the Wellmobile, a clinic on wheels that drives around Maryland. Applying for food stamps meant his first attempt at a technology forbidden in prison: the Internet. “I feel like a 5-year-old trying to learn this stuff,” he said, poking hesitantly at a keyboard.

Question: Where was he living in the 1990's?

MARC-ANDRÉ DALBAVIE, composer: I just studied conducting with Boulez, but it had an enormous influence on my writing. In the beginning it wasn’t clear, but progressively in the 1990s, I started to understand what he was teaching me. Around ’95 and ’96, I was writing my concerto for violin and I was living in Rome, so I had less contact with Pierre. The less contact I had, the more I realized his influence. If you know his piece “Mémoriale,” it revolves around this E-flat and you don’t know if it’s a tonality or a gravity center. This idea also became for me very strong. It was a sort of post-atonal moment.

Question: Who was elected as governor?

But on Thursday, members of the Vermont House and Senate elected the state’s governor — by secret ballot. They chose Peter Shumlin, a Democrat, giving him his third two-year term. That’s right: 179 state legislators had the final say, not the 193,603 voters who cast ballots for governor in the Nov. 4 election. “Thank you all for making it possible for me to be able to give this speech today,” Mr. Shumlin told legislators a few hours later as he delivered his inaugural address in the House chamber. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” He had reason to be grateful. In November, Mr. Shumlin won only 46.4 percent of the vote, not the 50 percent required by the Vermont Constitution to claim victory outright. He was nearly toppled by Scott Milne, a little-known Republican businessman, who won 45.1 percent.

Answer: Peter Shumlin

But on Thursday, members of the Vermont House and Senate elected the state’s governor — by secret ballot. <hl> They chose Peter Shumlin , a Democrat, giving him his third two-year term. <hl> That’s right: 179 state legislators had the final say, not the 193,603 voters who cast ballots for governor in the Nov. 4 election. “Thank you all for making it possible for me to be able to give this speech today,” Mr. Shumlin told legislators a few hours later as he delivered his inaugural address in the House chamber. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” He had reason to be grateful. In November, Mr. Shumlin won only 46.4 percent of the vote, not the 50 percent required by the Vermont Constitution to claim victory outright. He was nearly toppled by Scott Milne, a little-known Republican businessman, who won 45.1 percent.

Question: What religion does Ben Carson follow/practice?

Each time Ben Carson prepared to cut into a human brain, the neurosurgeon, who was the first to separate twins conjoined at the head, said a prayer. He would scrub his hands, close his eyes and ask for God’s help. “Lord, you be the neurosurgeon,” he has described himself thinking. “I’ll be the hands.” Since packing up his scalpel and becoming a Republican presidential candidate, Mr. Carson has not shied from talking about his Christian faith and sprinkling policy pronouncements with prayer as he travels the country talking to voters in his blunt but soft-spoken style. So far it has worked — he has overtaken Donald J. Trump in a new national poll of Republicans and is beating him in Iowa, the crucial caucus state. But Mr. Carson’s religion has been cast in a harsher light in recent days, as Mr. Trump, whose support among evangelicals is falling, suggested that the doctor is not a mainstream Christian because he is a member of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination.

Question: How many manufacturing  jobs has Connecticut lost over the last 20 years?

“We are fighting for the future of middle-class families,” said Representative Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut. “These trade deals make it much easier for corporations to send American jobs overseas.” Over the past 20 years, Connecticut has lost more than 96,000 manufacturing jobs, she said, because of agreements that failed to protect American workers. Sanders told the assembled media that while he liked the president’s speech, “he was wrong on one major issue, and that is the Trans-Pacific Partnership.” He added, “I do not believe that continuing a set of bad policies, policies that have failed, makes any sense at all.”

Question: Ludewig says development and politics in the city should be like what?

“Urban development and politics here should be like music in the city, where you have both the Philharmonic and nightclubs like Berghain,” Mr. Ludewig argued. “We should have Museum Island and also the Flussbad to show we’re still a city where crazy ideas can become reality.” Opponents of the Flussbad fume about the prospect of bikini-clad bathers despoiling a noble site. But the real embarrassment is the dirty canal. Architectural preservationists fret that stairways cut into the canal’s retaining walls will tamper with a World Heritage Site, altering the work of a cultural hero, the neo-Classical architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, who conceived the museum quarter. But the walls have been rebuilt untold times over the years, and a mess of lights, moorings and signs have been stuck onto them. They are hardly inviolable.

Question: What was not a possibility for an investment?

A. They are easier to buy. We did start our business in the B office building, and we found ourselves in that niche and felt very, very comfortable there. B buildings are very management-intensive, because there are many, many tenants involved. But we find that we do that very well and we can create value. We like to give our tenants a high-quality office environment. We don’t want them to think that they’re in a low-quality, traditional, old-fashioned B building, where they feel like they’re giving something up. Q. Would you ever consider investing in Class A buildings?  A. Absolutely, but right now it would not be possible given the competition.

Question: The burst of growth in the Upper East Side has not been seen since?

The skinny strip of the Upper East Side that runs between Central Park and Park Avenue has long been dominated by co-ops and is arguably one of the most staid parts of the city. Now, in a burst of activity not seen since the 1980s, condominiums are shouldering their way into this upscale district, which runs from about East 59th to East 96th Streets. More than a half-dozen projects, ranging from newly built apartment houses to makeovers of prewar properties, have opened there in the last few years or are underway.

Question: How much money was Mr. Rodman and his partners asking for to rebuild homes in Haiti after the earthquake they suffered?

On and off for two decades, the affable Mr. Rodham has tried to use his connections with his sister and his brother-in-law, former President Bill Clinton, to further a business career that has seen more failures than successes. The connections to the Clintons have given Mr. Rodham, a self-described “facilitator,” a unique appeal and a range of opportunities, like addressing Chinese investor conferences and joining an advisory board of a company seeking permission to mine for gold in Haiti. But his business dealings have often invited public scrutiny and uncomfortable questions for the Clintons as Mr. Rodham has cycled through a variety of ventures, leveraging his ties to them and sometimes directly seeking their help. When Mr. Clinton worked as a co-chairman of Haiti’s earthquake recovery commission, Mr. Rodham and his partners sought a $22 million deal to rebuild homes in the country. In court proceedings three years ago in an unrelated lawsuit, Mr. Rodham explained how “a guy in Haiti” had “donated” 10,000 acres of land to him and described how he had leaned on Mr. Clinton to get the rebuilding project funded amid bureaucratic delays. “I deal through the Clinton Foundation. That gets me in touch with the Haitian officials,” Mr. Rodham said, according to a transcript of his testimony. “I hound my brother-in-law, because it’s his fund that we’re going to get our money from. And he can’t do it until the Haitian government does it.

Question: Who was assigned to informally tutor Towns as a mentor?

His education has continued with the Timberwolves, who commissioned Kevin Garnett to act as Towns’s mentor. It was viewed as a gamble — Garnett can be abrasive — but he has embraced Towns and the team’s young core. After a recent practice, Garnett remained behind to counsel Andrew Wiggins on post moves for at least a half-hour. Towns has attached himself to Garnett as much as possible. “Talking, watching, learning,” Towns said. “It’s an all-day thing.” He has mimicked Garnett’s preparation, going so far as to shoot additional baskets after he lifts weights in hope of building his muscle memory. Garnett also advised Towns to keep their tutorials private. Pressed to offer a couple of morsels, Towns shook his head.

Question: What is the #2 city in Iraq?

VENICE — When Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, fell to the Islamic State in June, members of the Ruya Foundation, an Iraqi nonprofit that set up the country’s pavilion at the last Venice Biennale, considered scrapping all plans for this year’s exhibition. “With all this carnage and death and rape, how could you even think of culture?” said Tamara Chalabi, chairwoman of the foundation. In the end, the plans went forward because it was “a statement,” she said. “When there’s so much else being destroyed, this is also one way of trying to preserve culture.”

Question: How long did it take for Sandy to go unconscious after getting into bed?

“Can you come with me?” she asked. So Daryl and Sandy walked to the bathroom together, and Daryl sat outside the door while his dying wife sat on the toilet. He helped Sandy back into bed, and within five minutes she was unconscious. Daryl watched her for a while, not quite feeling anything. Still to come were the calls to 911 and the coroner and the undertaker, and the writing up of the death notice, highlighting the reasons for Sandy’s decision. Still to come, too, was the brutal reality of what it would feel like for Sandy to be completely gone from his life. “How powerful a presence is her absence,” Daryl would say at a memorial service that summer, quoting from a poem by Fred Chappell. “The rooms were quiet when she was resident./Now they lie silent. That is different.”

Question: What was the last year the LAST-2 was given?

A federal judge on Friday found that an exam for New York teaching candidates was racially discriminatory because it did not measure skills necessary to do the job, the latest step in a court battle over teacher qualifications that has spanned nearly 20 years. The exam, the second incarnation of the Liberal Arts and Sciences Test, called the LAST-2, was administered from 2004 through 2012 and was designed to test an applicant’s knowledge of liberal arts and science. But the test was found to fail minority teaching candidates at a higher rate than white candidates. According to Friday’s decision, written by Judge Kimba M. Wood of Federal District Court in Manhattan, the pass rate for African-American and Latino candidates was between 54 percent and 75 percent of the pass rate for white candidates. Once it was established that minority applicants were failing at a disproportionately high rate, the burden shifted to education officials to prove that the skills being tested were necessary to do the job; otherwise, the test would be ruled discriminatory. In creating the test, the company, National Evaluation Systems, sent surveys to educators around New York State to determine if the test’s “content objectives” were relevant and important to teaching. The samples for both surveys were small, however, Judge Wood said. The judge found that National Evaluation Systems, now called Evaluation Systems, part of Pearson Education, went about the process backward.

Question: In which of of the knee did Rose injured?

Rose, cleared medically but uncertain of his own health, was accused of a lack of toughness and a me-first attitude. When he finally returned for the next season, 2013-14, another injury — this time a torn medial meniscus in his right knee — felled him in only his 10th game. Rose aggravated the injury this season, had surgery and missed a quarter of the campaign; he returned just before the end of the regular season. In his absence, the Bulls were a scrappy underdog — a solid regular-season team that lacked the star power for playoff crunchtime. On Saturday, they had the look of a championship contender.

Rose aggravated the injury this season, had surgery and missed a quarter of the campaign; he returned just before the end of the regular season. In his absence, the Bulls were a scrappy underdog — a solid regular-season team that lacked the star power for playoff crunchtime. On Saturday, they had the look of a championship contender.


Question: What was the anthropologist's correct last name?

An article on Wednesday about research suggesting that chimpanzees have the cognitive ability to cook misstated, at one point, the surname of the Harvard anthropologist who hypothesized that cooking has driven changes in human evolution. As the article correctly noted elsewhere, he is Richard Wrangham, not Wrangell. BUSINESS DAY An article on Tuesday about a decision by the airbag manufacturer Takata to continue using a chemical compound deemed dangerous by experts misstated the point at which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began receiving complaints about rupturing Takata airbags. It was in 2001, not “almost 15 years ago.” The error was repeated in articles on Sept. 15, 2014, and on May 20, which referred to the complaints as having started in 2000, rather than 2001. • An article on May 23 about the environmental threat posed by plastic microbeads used as exfoliating agents in personal care products misstated the source of PHA, a naturally occurring plastic that one company is developing as a biodegradable substitute. It is produced by bacteria, not by mushrooms. SPORTS

Question: Who did the author remember while she was waiting for her mother's shrimp?

While I stood waiting for my mother’s shrimp, I watched all these people toiling away and I thought about what Mr. Jobs had said about the waitress from a few years earlier. Though his rudeness may have been uncalled-for, there was something to be said for the idea that we should do our best at whatever job we take on. This should be the case, not because someone else expects it. Rather, as I want to teach my son, we should do it because our jobs, no matter how seemingly small, can have a profound effect on someone else’s life; we just don’t often get to see how we’re touching them.

Question: What names were given to the genitalia?

The Bookends feature (Sept. 27) asks, “Why read books considered obscene?” One answer is that last year’s pornography can be this year’s literature. One of the most glorious moments in D.H. Lawrence’s “Lady Chatterley’s Lover,” once a banned book, occurs when Connie and Mellors adorn their genitalia with flowers. They name them Sir John and Lady Jane, raising anatomy to the level of aristocracy. Only prudes would find such an incident, which is both innocent and erotic, offensive. And only the self-righteous would find the novel obscene. BERNARD F. DICK

Question: Which city started a pilot program?

Police departments around the country have been moving with unusual speed to equip officers with body cameras to film their often edgy encounters with the public. But the adoption of these cameras has created a new conflict over who has the right to view the recordings. In Seattle, where a dozen officers started wearing body cameras in a pilot program in December, the department has set up its own YouTube channel, broadcasting a stream of blurred images to protect the privacy of people filmed. Much of this footage is uncontroversial; one scene shows a woman jogging past a group of people and an officer watching her, then having a muted conversation with people whose faces have been obscured.

Question: Who has the vulnerability and sharpness for the role in the play?

She might have been talking about herself. Though conscious of her considerable gifts as an actor — she’s so able to project emotion that her face can seem almost see-through — Ms. Moss still confesses to “major moments” where she thinks: “I can’t believe they asked me to do this, they’re crazy. This is all a mistake.” Pam MacKinnon, the play’s director and a Tony winner for “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,” disagreed. Speaking backstage as she prepared to return to rehearsal, she said that Ms. Moss had both the vulnerability and the sharpness that the role demands. “She’s incredibly intuitive, incredibly smart, and she is sort of an observer, even though she’s at the center of this rehearsal process,” Ms. MacKinnon said.

Question: What program did the article question was properly monitored by Congress?

One suggested a news organization that is tough-minded, calling its own shots about acceding to government requests for secrecy.

Question: What other film did Mr. Emmerich direct?

So who gets to tell the story of Stonewall? It’s a nuanced and powerful question, 46 years after the riots — which lasted several days — became part of a broader push for gay and transgender rights. Mr. Emmerich, known for directing big-budget fare like “Independence Day,” and Mr. Baitz, the playwright and screenwriter, continue to stand by the trailer, created by the London-based Picture Production Company, and the film. “What can I say? I put all I know as a filmmaker into this film,” said Mr. Emmerich, 59. Describing it as a coming-of-age story, he said he was proud of the film, adding: “No studio wanted to finance it. If people want to boycott a movie because of its trailer, what kind of country do we live in?” He continued: “I always say I hope this is the first of many Stonewall films. The trailer is very true to the film. It’s Danny’s story.”

8 P.M. (FX Movie Channel) THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON (2008) Brad Pitt, left, received an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Benjamin Button, a man born in his 80s in 1918 New Orleans, who ages in reverse into the 21st century, in this adaptation of a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Cate Blanchett is Daisy, the dancer who loves Benjamin at whatever stage he is in. And Taraji P. Henson, who was also nominated, is the nursing home caretaker who raises him when his father abandons him. From Fitzgerald’s “odd, somewhat unpromising kernel, the director David Fincher and the screenwriter Eric Roth have cultivated a lush, romantic hothouse bloom, a film that shares only a title and a basic premise with its literary source,” A.

Question: Under the new guidelines, what country has access to China's markets?

As part of their increased oversight, financial regulators have been cracking down recently on insider trading, which analysts say is rampant on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets. Suspicions of insider trading were cited this week in the arrest of the owner of one of the country’s top investment firms, Xu Xiang, a billionaire who has been called the Carl Icahn of China. With the resumption of I.P.O.s, the spokesman for the securities regulator, Deng Ge, said on Friday that the agency intended to simplify the approval process for smaller companies and heighten the responsibilities of the brokerages that bring new listings to the market. The new measures would “increase protections for the rights and interests of investors and further reform and perfect the I.P.O. system,” Mr. Deng said, according to Xinhua. In a separate development Friday evening, China’s central bank and securities regulator jointly published long-delayed guidelines for investment firms in mainland China and Hong Kong to gain access to each other’s markets.
