Question: What is the condition of the earth along the COlorado?

Needles sits above one of those shallow bowls, a subterranean valley packed with porous gravel that is easily filled with water. And so a funny thing happens when Needles pumps its water from underground: No matter how much the city uses, the water level in the local groundwater wells never drops. Instead, water is sucked out of the Colorado River bed, underground, toward the wells, filling any subterranean void. Because the earth is especially porous along the Colorado, the water essentially spills out the river’s bottom, unseen, filling a geologic bathtub beneath Needles and its nearby terrain, and refilling the aquifer. There are lots of ways water in the West is being mismanaged: farming subsidies for water-intensive crops; arcane laws encouraging waste; leaky infrastructure. But none may be more significant than refusing to accept the fact that the West’s water resources are interconnected.

Question: Which event did Willis Carto's group deny happened?

Willis Carto, a reclusive behind-the-scenes wizard of the far-right fringe of American politics who used lobbying and publishing to denigrate Jews and other minorities and galvanize the movement to deny the Holocaust, died last Monday at his home in Virginia. He was 89. His death was announced by The American Free Press, a newspaper he helped found. Mr. Carto raised funds to finance a right-wing military dictatorship in the United States, campaigned to persuade blacks to voluntarily return to Africa and, most influentially, started newsletters, a journal and conferences of academics and others to deny the scale, and even the existence, of the Holocaust. The Anti-Defamation League called him “one of the most influential American anti-Semitic propagandists” and “the mastermind of the hate network.”

Question: What was the name of the team that won a national championship around 2014?

Even before last season, the notion that Krzyzewski eschewed one-and-dones for upperclassmen was obviously untrue. But whatever was left of it was interred by the 2014-15 Blue Devils, who won a national title on the backs of four freshmen, three of whom — Jahlil Okafor, Justise Winslow and Tyus Jones — promptly declared for the N.B.A. draft and were selected in its first round. In the title game, they and Grayson Allen, then a freshman, scored 60 of Duke’s 68 points, including all 37 in the second half. “The ability to adapt is key in everything,” Krzyzewski said immediately after that victory. “I think I’ve adapted well.”

Question: Its highest level in almost six years, the dollar has risen more than how much?

The diverging paths of the two central banks prompted investors to put money into dollars, on the expectation that interest rates in the United States will rise and offer a better return than in Europe, where interest rates are falling. The euro fell to 1.20 against the dollar on Friday, its lowest since June 2010, while the yield, or market interest rate, on German two-year government bonds fell to a new low of minus 0.11 percent. The yield has been below zero since September; investors were willing to effectively pay the German government to keep their money safe. The larger picture is not merely that the dollar is gaining against the euro. Signs that the Fed is getting closer to raising its benchmark interest rate from zero have helped the United States currency to soar against its counterparts in Japan, Britain and in major emerging markets. Against a broad basket of currencies, the dollar has risen more than 13 percent since September to its highest level in almost six years.

Question: Where is Mr. Dostum's home province?

Back in his home province of Jowzjan, Mr. Dostum turned his pink palace into a command center and announced that he was coordinating the war efforts there and in the neighboring provinces of Faryab and Sar-i-Pul. Local officials and militia commanders, many of them with fully armed forces despite a costly disarmament campaign, began rallying to his call. Mr. Dostum’s actions have been publicized here as the bravery of a battle-hardened general. But in what is supposed to be a year that tests the ability of the Afghan security forces to fend off enemy threats on their own, his moves have also raised a serious question: Amid a territory-gobbling insurgent offensive, will the strongmen and former warlords prominent in the Afghan government honor the national security system, or will they remobilize militias that in the 1990s caused the chaos that gave rise to the Taliban in the first place?

Question: What did Volkswagen say would repair a 2-liter diesel motor?

The technical fixes proposed by Volkswagen appeared to be surprisingly simple, deepening the mystery over why the decision had been made to evade pollution testing with illicit software.

Question: Of the people killed in the attack, were civilians targeted?

MOGADISHU, Somalia —  Somali troops ended a 16-hour siege at a hotel in Somalia’s capital on Saturday, during which gunmen killed 15 people, officials said. The Shabab, a militant Islamist group that routinely strikes government and business sites here in the capital, claimed responsibility for the attack, which also left at least 13 people wounded, Somali officials said. An elite American-trained counterterrorism unit rescued 50 hostages being held by the gunmen at the Maka al-Mukarama Hotel, said Mohamed Abdi Hayir, the minister of information, tourism and culture. The five attackers killed 15 people, Mr. Hayir said: Somalia’s ambassador to Switzerland, a consultant for the Somali Central Bank, six civilians, three hotel guards and four government soldiers. All the gunmen were killed, Mr. Hayir added. The attack began on Friday afternoon around 4 p.m., witnesses said, when a car bomber detonated explosives at a rear gate of the hotel, which is popular with government officials and foreigners. Gunmen quickly overpowered security guards and took control of the hotel before an elite police antiterrorism unit stormed the hotel compound.

Question: What was Leive's big challenge with Management?

I was about 25. Nobody ever really sits you down and says, “Here’s some Management 101 on how to do it.” It’s a skill you have to learn. Just because you know how to be a good friend, and even a good co-worker, doesn’t mean that you’re going to know how to be a good boss. I didn’t ask as many questions in the beginning as I should have. Any specific memo-to-self moments? The big challenge for me was learning how to be firm and clear. It’s very reassuring for employees to understand what is expected of them. Otherwise, how will they know that they’re doing a good job? Finding a way to do that while also creating an office that is warm and friendly and engaging is a balancing act that it took me a while to master. Really getting to know your team and being interested in their lives also gives you good will. So when you’re in a situation where you need to deliver a message that maybe isn’t so easy to hear, it will land on this mattress of good karma. People want to be understood and respected as individuals.

Question: Who expected them to know much of the basics?

In the first two weeks of training, the Americans found the Ukrainians’ soldierly skills lacking, and the group generally in need of instruction. “I came into it expecting them not to know much of the basics,” said Sgt. Michael Faranda, who is teaching maneuvers. He was correct. Things “every soldier should know,” he said, they did not. Some even forgot their helmets on the first day of exercises. Still, Sergeant Faranda said, the Ukrainians’ willingness to go into combat was all the more notable for their lack of preparation for it.

Question: Can a politician claim to care about the middle class if they support the sides of the blow back?

Some details still need to be worked out. In the coming months, the Labor Department will solicit public comment on how to adjust the new salary threshold so it does not erode all over again. The best option is to raise it in line with wages or prices, whichever is greater in a given year. There will also be inevitable blowback from business interests, but their Republican allies in Congress should think twice about backing them up: No party and no politician that opposes the new overtime rules can credibly claim to care about the middle class.

Question: How long is the career of Colon?

After a shaky first inning, where Colon gave up three hits but left undamaged thanks to a double play that he helped start, the pitching coach Dan Warthen implored the 42-year-old Colon to rely on his changeup and breaking pitches. Colon said after the game through an interpreter that it felt as if he threw more changeups in Wednesday’s game than in any other over his 18-year career, but the strategy was successful.

Question: Executives from which company tried to paint themselves as victims?

“For Petrobras to say, ‘We’re the victims,’ when their executives were perpetrating this scheme suggests that they haven’t learned their lesson,” said Jeremy A. Lieberman of the Pomerantz law firm, which has been appointed lead counsel in the case. “This is not just an incident of a few rotten apples on an otherwise pristine tree.” For all of its malign effects, Lava Jato has underscored that Brazil has a robust and independent group of federal police officers, judges and prosecutors, a rarity in nations plagued by corruption. Last month, for instance, the police searched the home of Fernando Collor, a former president and current senator, leaving with a Ferrari, a Lamborghini and a Porsche. (Mr. Collor has not been charged and denies involvement in Lava Jato.) Mr. Dallagnol and another prosecutor flew to Washington a few months ago to visit officials in the Justice Department, hoping to interest the United States in lending a hand. He says that he and his team could, if unhindered, investigate Lava Jato for years.

Question: What day was the vessel deflated?

An article on Monday about the imposition of temporary border restrictions by Germany as record numbers of migrants arrive misspelled the surname of the German interior minister, who said it was “desperately necessary” for Germany to limit the number of people coming into the country. He is Thomas de Maizière, not de Mazière. The error was repeated in a picture caption with the continuation of the article. Because of editing errors, that caption and a second one, on the front page, misstated, in some editions, the day on which the events described took place. It was Sunday, not Saturday, that a vessel carrying Syrian and Afghan refugees deflated and a German police officer inspected a Syrian man at a border.

Question: In what city is "Grave of the Fireflies" set?

The Complete Studio Ghibli (through Dec. 31) IFC Center’s retrospective of the complete works of Studio Ghibli, the beloved Japanese animation house, varies from the wistful and pleasant, like Hayao Miyazaki’s “My Neighbor Totoro,” to the crushingly sad, like Isao Takahata’s “Grave of the Fireflies,” about childhood alienation, set in Kobe at the end of World War II.) It all leads up to Jan. 1, when “Only Yesterday,” released in Japan in 1991, will have its United States theatrical premiere. 323 Avenue of the Americas, at Third Street, Greenwich Village, 212-924-7771, ifccenter.com.

Question: Why was this an issue at the time?

“I have my own environment that I grew up in, my own experiences that lead me to make the choices that I do,” she said, explaining that her parents were not very politically active. The last time the voting age was a major issue was in 1971, when lawmakers passed the 26th Amendment, which lowered the voting age to 18 from 21, aligning it with the minimum age for military service during the Vietnam War. In Maryland, Takoma Park lowered the voting age to 16 for municipal contests in 2013, and Hyattsville did so in 2015, after local advocates pushed for changing it.

Question: What is Hillary Clinton's strength in?

The debate probably won’t change much in the polling. Hillary Rodham Clinton reminded us why she’s the front-runner, with her experience, command of the issues and strength in communicating ideas. She seemed both at ease and fearless. It helped that the candidates actually valued time to discuss issues. One of the biggest applause lines was Senator Bernie Sanders’s quip to Mrs. Clinton, “the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.” Supporters of Mr. Sanders embraced his passionate critiques, but his performance may not convert those skeptical of his ability to broaden his appeal.

Question: Why do mothers have such a difficult time breastfeeding their babies at airports?

Breast-feeding mothers usually struggle to find a private space at the airport to nurse their babies or pump their milk. The Burlington, Vt.-based household and baby care company Seventh Generation was aware of that challenge and decided to take action by sponsoring the installation of four pumping and nursing pods in New York area airports: one in the JetBlue terminal at Kennedy Airport, two at Newark Liberty International Airport and one at La Guardia Airport. The pods will officially open on Thursday, May 7, to coincide with Mother’s Day. Mamava, a brand dedicated to promoting the culture of breast-feeding, created the 4-foot-by-8-foot spaces, which are equipped with two benches and an electrical outlet. Their doors fully shut, and the rooms are large enough to fit a family of four plus luggage.

Question: Who was a star trader at SAC Capital with Mr. Ganek?

Mr. Ganek and Mr. Chiasson were once star traders at SAC Capital, the former hedge fund founded by the billionaire investor Steven A. Cohen, and long a focal point of the government’s investigation. Although SAC ultimately pleaded guilty to insider trading, the government never raided its offices, highlighting the rarity of such an aggressive move. Mr. Ganek is not the first to question the government’s tactics.

Question: Where did Mr. Seymour used to sit and drink beer after closing hours?

Back when it was the Glad Hand, a guy named John Hamilton tended the bar. “We used to sit in there and drink beer after he closed the place,” Mr. Seymour recalled, “and plot what the No Name would be like. It was going to be Sausalito’s living room, and it would be crowded from the day it opened.” I didn’t see any reason to go inside Scoma’s; it didn’t seem that the Glad Hand spirit would have survived. After all, the guys who drank there were plotting their escape back in the 1950s. So I continued up the Bridgeway to Poggio, the Italian restaurant where I had planned to meet Jack Shoemaker, Mr. Connell’s longtime editor. Mr. Shoemaker is Bay Area literary history: He has also edited or published Robert Hass, Guy Davenport, Wendell Berry, M.F.K. Fisher and Anne Lamott. But Mr. Connell was one of his first writers, and the No Name years came at the beginning of a 50-year friendship.

Question: When will the paper highlight the NHL each week?

Every Tuesday, The New York Times will look at the week ahead in the N.H.L., highlighting hot — or not so hot — teams and players.  Minnesota Wild at Chicago Blackhawks, Tuesday, 8 p.m., NBCSN Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane has scored a point in 19 straight games, compiling 11 goals and 20 assists in that span. He will go for his 20th in a row as Chicago returns home from a six-game Western trip. Sidney Crosby in 2010 was the last player to record a point in 20 straight games. Don’t get too excited about Kane breaking the N.H.L. record for point streaks, though. It is 51 games, set by Wayne Gretzky in 1983-84. Rangers at Islanders, Wednesday, 8 p.m., NBCSN

Question: Why wasn't it very funny to see Harris running around?

One of the less predictable turn of events was the bland performance by Neil Patrick Harris, a veteran M.C. of both the Tony Awards and the Emmys, who hosted the Oscars for the first time on Sunday. His one successful stretch was a parody of a scene from “Birdman,” in which Michael Keaton runs through Times Square in his underpants. Mr. Harris ran through backstage corridors and onto the stage in white briefs and his black socks and shoes. But because Mr. Harris is in good physical shape, there wasn’t much humor or bravery to the sketch, just bravado.

Question: What instrument did Earl "Fatha" Hines play?

LISTENING Right now I’m really into Earl “Fatha” Hines. He was a stride piano player who had a big band in the ’30s and ’40s. You watch clips of him playing and what he’s doing just seems impossible. His left hand is leaping around playing the bass line and what would essentially be the accompanying guitar rhythm while his right hand is playing this really arrhythmic, somewhat modern sounding stuff. Geez, I really wish I could play stride piano — though not enough to actually practice. WATCHING I’m catching up on all the YouTube videos that people sent me over the five years of making “Inside Out.” Lately it’s been Laurel and Hardy shorts and clips of steam engines, like what powered the early railroad. And Warner Bros. “Looney Tunes” never get old. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but “Gorilla My Dreams” and “Hare Tonic” are pretty funny. FOLLOWING Walt_at_Disneyland on Instagram. It’s some guy who has found all these pictures of Walt Disney at Disneyland and he’s posting one a day. I don’t know how long it will be before he runs out.

Question: How old is Silver?

“The speaker is not stepping down,” Mr. Whyland said. He added that Mr. Silver’s delegation of his responsibilities “will give him the flexibility he needs so that he can defend himself against these charges, and he is confident that he will be found innocent.” Mr. Silver, 70, who is from the Lower East Side of Manhattan, is accused of abusing his office to obtain $4 million in payoffs. Federal prosecutors said he disguised his windfall by portraying it as legitimate income he earned working part time, ostensibly as a personal injury lawyer. The charges against Mr. Silver threatened to throw the Capitol into turmoil because of the central role that he plays there. The speaker of the Assembly is one of Albany’s “three men in a room,” along with the governor and the State Senate majority leader, who make many of the most important decisions in state government. The new leadership arrangement will be a startling change because of Mr. Silver’s longevity: As governors and other legislators have come and gone, Mr. Silver has remained firmly in place as speaker since 1994.

Question: What did Americans find out about Ukrainians during training?

In the first two weeks of training, the Americans found the Ukrainians’ soldierly skills lacking, and the group generally in need of instruction. “I came into it expecting them not to know much of the basics,” said Sgt. Michael Faranda, who is teaching maneuvers. He was correct. Things “every soldier should know,” he said, they did not. Some even forgot their helmets on the first day of exercises. Still, Sergeant Faranda said, the Ukrainians’ willingness to go into combat was all the more notable for their lack of preparation for it.

Question: What is April Heinrichs's job scope?

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — As a young girl in Colorado, April Heinrichs stuffed copies of Reader’s Digest into her socks as shin guards and slept in her cleats. “Why not?” Heinrichs said. She became a fierce, pioneering player and has assumed as many vital roles as a coach and futurist as anyone in women’s soccer in the United States. Her current job, as technical director for the American women’s national teams, is to find the next Mia Hamm or Abby Wambach and keep the United States in its customary spot among the best teams in the world. The United States trails only Germany in the FIFA world rankings, but the Americans have not won a Women’s World Cup since 1999. And their chances in the current tournament seem uncertain as a final group match approaches, against Nigeria here Tuesday.

Question: What is the Tri-State Transportation Campaign?

Mr. Fox said he had hoped to find a long-term solution for the transportation fund within a year.“I deeply regret we were unable to do so, and with a year behind me, it is time for me to return to the private sector and pursue new opportunities,” he said. A spokesman for the commissioner, Stephen Schapiro, said Mr. Fox declined to comment further. Calls to his lawyer, Robert Fettweis, were not returned on Friday night. On Thursday, Mr. Fox expressed support for a proposal to build a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River, saying that New Jersey Transit, an agency for which he serves as board chairman, looked forward to working with Amtrak on the project. This year, he said the state was facing a transportation funding crisis, a characterization that Mr. Christie has disputed. Veronica Vanterpool, executive director of the Tri-State Transportation Campaign, an advocacy organization, said Mr. Fox had been a “strong advocate” for the state’s transportation system, but had been unable to motivate the state to act with any urgency.

Question: What expert said the physical key will be with us for years to come?

Tesla is not alone in offering those sorts of options; BMW, General Motors and Volvo, among other manufacturers, offer apps that perform similar functions. They are just the latest step in the evolution of the car key away from the standard metal shaft used for decades, and still often used today, to unlock and start cars. Now, car keys — or key fobs, as they are also known — include chips to prevent theft, cannot be duplicated at the local locksmith and often never have to be removed from pockets. But despite the advances, it will be a while, if ever, before smartphone apps entirely replace keys that drivers carry around. Too many problems exist — like a slow data network or a dead phone battery — to rely on smartphones alone, experts say. “The physical key will be with us for years to come,” said Mark Baker, director of engineering for ZF TRW, a manufacturer of automobile systems.

Question: What was Russia the biggest source of Turkey of, before the past year?

Russia had also been one of Turkey’s biggest sources of tourists until the past year, when the combination of the fall of the ruble and Western sanctions on Russia for its support of Ukrainian insurgents began steeply eroding the number of Russians who could afford to travel. The decline in tourism was a worry for economists here even before the Russian jet was shot down. “The trade deficit is out of hand, exports cannot meet the import bill, so tourism revenues are a major item in our balance sheet,” said Erinc Yeldan, the dean of the economics faculty at Bilkent University near Ankara. Still, Cengiz Kamil Firat, the deputy director general of general and bilateral economic affairs at Turkey’s foreign ministry, said that the nation’s economy was in better shape than it might seem.

Question: Where does Fethullah Gulen live?

The conglomerate, which owns 22 companies, including two daily newspapers, Bugun and Millet, stands accused of ties to Fethullah Gulen, an Islamic cleric who lives in exile in Pennsylvania. Mr. Gulen’s followers were once allies of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s moderate Islamist party, but the government now considers them a shadowy underground network to be rooted out through purges of the police, the judiciary and the media. As the police forced camera crews outside the building to stop taking video, journalists retreated to the Bugun control room where Tarik Toros, the broadcaster’s editor in chief, fought the new trustees to keep the channel on the air as long as possible. That struggle was captured by Bugun reporters in dramatic footage that was later posted online with subtitles by Turkey’s Cihan News Agency.

Question: How many home run the winner of the league make?

Outfielder Giancarlo Stanton of the Miami Marlins would be an obvious starter for the N.L., having won the league’s player of the month award for June with a .344 average and 12 home runs. But Stanton had surgery to repair a broken bone in his hand last Sunday and will miss several weeks. Likewise, Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera, who is hitting .350, is the clear choice at first base for the A.L., but he is expected to miss six weeks after sustaining a severe calf injury on Friday night.  Here is a list of the way the teams should look, with deserving (and healthy) starters listed first. Every team is represented, as the rules dictate, and each roster has the mandatory 34 players. The N.L. manager, Bruce Bochy, must pick a designated hitter from his reserves, so we did it for him. A few thoughts on the teams follow.

Question: Where did Dr. Grier serve as chairman of the department of psychiatry?

“Black Rage” thrust Dr. Grier into the spotlight. Immediately after the book was published, KRON, the local NBC television station, followed him and Dr. Cobbs on a walk on Fillmore Street as they explained the issues discussed in the book. ABC broadcast a special on the book called “To Be Black.” The prominent black scholar Kenneth B. Clark, a professor of social psychology at City College, criticized “Black Rage” in The New York Times Book Review as simplistic, unscholarly and overly impressed with the originality of its findings. But most critics found the book readable, persuasive and sobering. The authors followed up with “The Jesus Bag” (1971), a critical analysis of the role of religion in black life. It was not nearly as successful as “Black Rage.” After serving as chairman of the department of psychiatry at Meharry Medical College in Nashville in the early 1970s, Dr. Grier started a psychiatric practice in San Diego, from which he retired in the 1990s.

Question: Who did Russian's invaded last year in unmarked unmarked unifrom?

The training aims to remold the Ukrainian units by increasing the responsibilities of noncommissioned officers, fixing a Soviet legacy of an officer-heavy infantry. Without sergeants paying attention, basic mistakes were being made, the trainers said. Capt. Nicholas Salimbene, an American trainer, noticed with alarm that the Ukrainians were carrying their rifles with the safeties off. “It’s about the professionalism of the force,” he said. “We want them to look like soldiers.” “You see reports about the little green men,” he said, referring to the Russian soldiers who invaded the Crimean Peninsula last year in unmarked uniforms, “and they all walk around professionally, and carry their weapons professionally.” The Ukrainians should, too, Captain Salimbene said. The United States is also providing advanced courses for military professionals known as forward observers — the ones who call in targets — to improve the accuracy of artillery fire, making it more lethal for the enemy and less so for civilians. Oleksandr I. Leshchenko, the deputy director for training in the National Guard, was somewhat skeptical about the value of the training, saying that “99 percent” of the men in the course had already been in combat.
