Question: Who used a super PAC to get re-elected after denouncing them?

The 2016 presidential campaign has barely begun, but it is already clear this will be the super contest of the “super PACs” — the fast evolving political money machines that are irresistible to candidates because they can legally raise unlimited money from donors seeking favor and influence. The idea of a super PAC created to support an individual candidate was little more than an experiment four years ago when strategists for Mitt Romney tested its potential after misguided court decisions shattered federal limits on spending on elections. President Obama, after initially denouncing unlimited contributions, used a super PAC in his re-election. Money poured in, and this year all the major candidates, Republican and Democratic, will be counting on supposedly “independent” super PACs. They will be able to benefit from funds far greater than the amounts allowed under current regulations, which limit contributions to a candidate’s formal campaign organization to $2,700 per donor in the primary contests and $2,700 in the general election.

Question: In Eskisehir, who is the leading industrialist that was mentioned?

“They’re not closed — there’s a lot of smuggling, people have to live” in Syria, said Savas M. Ozaydemir, a leading Eskisehir industrialist with holdings in roofing tile manufacturing, wiring manufacture and real estate. “But of course, it might be 30 percent of what it was.” The route around Iraq and Syria through Iran is much longer and costlier — and Iran has imposed a hefty fee on Turkish trucks, ostensibly because they may fill up on subsidized diesel fuel while in Iran. Turkey’s strong support for democracy in Syria and for the removal of Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, an Iranian ally, have not helped.

Question: According to the article, better endings are a result of what?

So, to the end game, in Idaho, Kansas and beyond. “It’s amazing what you can bounce back from when you have to,” Obama said on Tuesday. He was quoting from a Minneapolis woman, invited to the speech, but it sounded like a motto for his last two years in office. The president is playing for a legacy. He won’t get much of it this year, or even next. But eventually, if Obama’s finish matches the flourish of the last two months, the United States will resemble the country he envisioned on Tuesday night. Long odds make for better endings.

Question: what did ben carson state?

Trump could have let the man ask his question and then correct his racist nonsense, without blocking his free speech, which is exactly what McCain did in a similar situation. Instead, he later said it was not his place to defend Obama. As someone who aspires to be president it is his place to defend the truth, but since Trump himself has been the source of so much birther nonsense about Obama, I guess that would be hard. Instead he tweeted: “Christians need support in our country (and around the world), their religious liberty is at stake! Obama has been horrible, I will be great.” And then, like clockwork, Ben Carson saw Trump blurring another civic redline and leapfrogged him. Carson stated, “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation.” So a whole faith community gets delegitimized and another opportunity for someone to courageously stand up for what’s decent is squandered. But it will play well with certain voters. And that is all that matters — until something really bad happens. And then, all of it — the words, tweets, signs and boasts — will be footage for another documentary that ends badly.

Question: What was the profession of Raymond W. Kelly?

But Mr. Faulkner also acknowledged that his mayoral bid was very much a work in progress. The pastor said he had yet to speak with either of the city’s last two Republican mayors, Michael R. Bloomberg and Rudolph W. Giuliani, about his campaign. Queried about his ideas for affordable housing, Mr. Faulkner said he would have more specific policy proposals within a year. Although Republicans intend to back a strong candidate against Mr. de Blasio, the party does not have a deep bench. Speculation so far has focused on Raymond W. Kelly, who was the police commissioner under Mayor Bloomberg, and Eva S. Moskowitz, the charter school executive who was previously elected to office as a Democrat, but has clashed bitterly with Mr. de Blasio over education policy. Mr. Faulkner is a social conservative who has opposed abortion rights and same-sex marriage. (Asked about his views on same-sex marriage on Monday, Mr. Faulkner said that the mayor of New York City had no role in the issue.) Still, clad in a pinstriped suit with a blue ribbon pinned to his chest — to show support for the police, he said — Mr. Faulkner said he had the force of personality and the right philosophy of government to lead New York.

Question: Who hit the double in the game on Monday?

“I was like, ‘All right, we have to lose once in a while,’ ” he said by phone while on his way to Monday night’s game against Miami. “Then Lagares hit the double and Granderson walked, and you just knew it; you just knew it,” he added, referring to Juan Lagares and Curtis Granderson, who started the Mets’ ninth-inning rally. Breuer said that when Daniel Murphy came to the plate, “I said, ‘He’s going to belt a homer,’ and when he did, I laughed — I just couldn’t stop giggling.” The Yankees are an older, less flashy team that lost much of its charisma with the retirements of Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter in 2013 and 2014. The former ace C. C. Sabathia is struggling with a bad knee and the wear and tear of pitching nearly 3,000 innings in his career, and the Yankees’ current top pitcher, Masahiro Tanaka, is soldiering on with a slightly torn elbow ligament. Their biggest star is probably Alex Rodriguez, whose unlikely comeback after a season-long suspension has helped keep the Yankees in the pennant race. Although it seems that fans have grudgingly accepted him because he is producing well and not causing trouble, he is not a Jeter-like presence who draws fans to the stadium in droves.

Question: Why would someone avoid investing in a drug?

When it comes to drugs, some of those obvious, old ideas that cannot be patented have not been clinically tested, as required for F.D.A. approval. That takes money, which nobody will invest without a patent. It’s a Catch-22 that ends up excluding potentially valuable drugs from ever even being considered for development. There’s evidence that the provision of patents only for nonobvious and novel innovations affects drug development. In a paper published in the Texas Law Review, Mr. Roin documents many examples of patent invalidation on these grounds — importantly, even for ideas that had never been developed into drugs and that still required clinical trials for F.D.A. approval. For example, the patent of an anti-inflammatory drug was invalidated because it had been disclosed in a prior academic article. A patent for a hypertension drug was invalidated because it was deemed to have been created by a well-known process.

Question: What did Mr. Mora die of?

“Those are years that nothing in the world can give me back, no money, no nothing,” Mr. Vasquez said after the proceeding. “It’s just like I lost myself in prison, I lost 33 and a half years of my life. I went in at 30, I come out at 65, so...” Mr. Vasquez shook his head and his sentence trailed off. Mr. Villalobos, who like Mr. Vasquez has been out on parole since 2012, said he thought “all the time” that he would get his conviction vacated. In 2012, he contacted New York Law School, where Adele Bernhard, a law professor and director of the Post-Conviction Innocence Clinic, and her students worked on the case. Mr. Villalobos said he had been denied parole several times because he refused to show remorse for a crime he had not committed. Still, he said: “I’m not angry. Why would you be angry? I know they did something bad to me, but God is there.” His wife, Ernesta, who testified at his trial that she had been with him the night of the fire and who stayed with him throughout his time in prison, said she felt “happy, happy, happy, happy.” Eileen Mora, Mr. Mora’s daughter, said she had “some sweet memories” of her father, who died of a heart attack in 1989. “My father was a good man, and I’m glad we got to prove it today in court,” she said, her voice shaking. “There’s no better Christmas gift that I can get than to say that my dad was innocent, and now everybody knows.”

Question: What network connects Wikipedia with its global community of readers and editors ?

These volunteers should be able to do their work without having to worry that the United States government is monitoring what they read and write. Unfortunately, their anonymity is far from certain because, using upstream surveillance, the N.S.A. intercepts and searches virtually all of the international text-based traffic that flows across the Internet “backbone” inside the United States.

Question: Over the last few years has inflation been high or low?

The Federal Reserve is supposed to achieve two goals simultaneously: full employment with stable prices. Yet there is one obvious factor that drives American living standards but risks being lost in this mix: wages. The economic status of most working-age households is determined by whether people are employed and for how many hours. It is also affected by how quickly prices are rising and whether their paychecks are at least keeping up with, if not outpacing, those prices. Over the last few years, employment has been growing and inflation has been low. But annual wage growth has been stuck at about 2 percent going on six years now. This combination has caused some economists and Fed watchers to argue that the Fed should target wages as a third metric. Janet Yellen, the Fed chairwoman, happens to agree with many of these wage-conscious analysts on a wide range of other economic issues, raising the possibility the Fed might indeed move in this direction. Ms. Yellen gave her answer in a recent speech in San Francisco: No.

Question: How many bedrooms are on the second floor?

The three-story house was updated over the last 15 years. It has a gambrel roof, a white clapboard exterior and an exposed stone base. A gentle C shape, it faces south, and bends around a patio and pool. The entrance is through a glassed-in porch whose windows have the original copper hardware and open to screens. Other original features include maple floors and raised wall paneling, which contrast with Sputnik-style light fixtures. The floor plan is open, with a broad bay of floor-to-ceiling windows in the living area, which has a fireplace. Intersecting walls of windows in the informal dining room area face the pool and patio. There is also a formal dining area. The kitchen was updated during renovations with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Miele range, a Jenn-Air oven and quartz countertops. A bar with a separate sink is just off the kitchen. Four bedrooms are on the second floor, including the master, which is part of a suite with a bathroom and a walk-in closet with a picture window overlooking the pool. The remaining two bedrooms are on the third floor, built into the eaves, with pitched ceilings. The basement is finished with wood-paneled walls, a fireplace and a wet bar.

Question: what organization is partnering with London's Whitechapel gallery?

In a separate attraction, NEON is partnering with London’s Whitechapel Gallery to bring together 25 Greek and foreign artists to explore myth, drama, metamorphoses and bioethics through outdoor art projects at the École Française d’Athènes until July 26. Other contemporary and historic mash-ups include displays of the finalists for the Deste Prize, which recognizes young Greek artists, at the Museum of Cycladic Art, and the former Sonic Youth frontwoman Kim Gordon’s multiplatform show of paintings and sculpture at the historic Benaki Museum until Aug. 30. Many of these attractions will fill a vacuum left by the absence of the National Museum of Contemporary Art, which has spent more than a decade in a period of restoration and flux but is not scheduled to reopen until the end of the year.

Question: How were the militants stopped?

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 team was Syndergaard pitching against?

Syndergaard then gave the type of performance that defines a player’s season, the kind that can instill confidence in a rookie and propel him to new heights. He suffocated the Dodgers, holding them to two hits and one run in six innings. He pitched even with Kershaw, perhaps even better, and gave the Mets’ porous offense the chance to squeak out a 2-1 win. Syndergaard pitched so well that, afterward, a reporter asked him if this start had stamped him as one of the best young pitchers in baseball, and he did not scoff at the question. “I hope so,” Syndergaard said. “But, I mean, I certainly don’t think I’m there yet to carry the name as Clayton Kershaw does. But hopefully I’ll get there.”

Question: How much did credit card edge up?

Nearly all of the October gain came from the category that covers auto and student loans, while credit card borrowing edged up a mere $200 million. The increase suggests that more Americans are borrowing to improve their educational skills and upgrade their cars and trucks, instead of relying on debt to fund their daily shopping and emergency expenses. Many economists expect that consumer spending will be relatively healthy in the coming months because of strong job gains that have bolstered auto and home sales for much of 2015. Yet a struggling global economy has tempered United States growth as the year draws to an end. The Labor Department reported last week that employers added 211,000 jobs in November and 298,000 in October. The unemployment rate held steady at 5 percent last month. The report showed evidence that workers who were pushed to the sidelines during the recession and sluggish six-year recovery were filtering back into the job market. The overall economy has advanced despite a waning global economy. A stronger dollar, slowing growth in China, a recession in Japan and a struggling Europe have been a drag on United States manufacturing, hurting overall growth. United States gross domestic product — aided by consumer spending — advanced at an annual rate of 2.1 percent in the July-September quarter, down from a 3.9 percent rate in the prior quarter. The deceleration is expected to continue. The Atlanta Fed forecasts that growth will slip in the final three months of 2015 to an annual rate of 1.5 percent. The private forecasting firm Macroeconomic Advisers estimates that the rate will be 1.7 percent.

Question: Who argued with the Turkish President?

“It’s hard to imagine a better training drill,” he said of the bombing in Syria. Since Turkey shot down a Russian warplane that it said had violated its airspace, Mr. Putin has engaged in a war of words with the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and ordered a number of retaliatory measures. On Thursday, he made clear that Russia has made Syria a no-fly zone for Turkish airplanes. “Turkey used to violate Syrian airspace all the time,” Mr. Putin said. “Let them try and fly there now,” he said, noting that Russia’s most advanced air defense system, the S-400, can hit any target in Syria.

Question: In what month was there an increase in available jobs?

The stock market then drifted gradually lower after a classic good-news-is-bad-news moment. A government report released at midmorning showed that the number of available jobs jumped 8 percent in July to the highest level in 15 years. That added to evidence that hiring remained strong and might prompt Federal Reserve policy makers to raise interest rates at their next meeting later this month. By the close, the Dow Jones industrial average had swung more than 400 points from its peak of the day. The index surged a day earlier, logging its second-best day of the year.

Question: Article to the article, the President's goal is to build what?

So, to the end game, in Idaho, Kansas and beyond. “It’s amazing what you can bounce back from when you have to,” Obama said on Tuesday. He was quoting from a Minneapolis woman, invited to the speech, but it sounded like a motto for his last two years in office. The president is playing for a legacy. He won’t get much of it this year, or even next. But eventually, if Obama’s finish matches the flourish of the last two months, the United States will resemble the country he envisioned on Tuesday night. Long odds make for better endings.

Question: Exxon hiding the data that showed the risks of climate change has been compared to tobacco companies committing what?

But now the leading Republican presidential candidates, with a far bigger megaphone than Exxon ever had, are promoting the very junk science that was hatched, in part, in Exxon’s board room. As a global citizen, Exxon failed miserably, to say the least. A host of organizations, and some politicians have called for Exxon to be prosecuted for fraud not unlike that which tobacco companies engaged in when they hid the risks of smoking. Exxon argues that it was a climate change “pioneer” and didn’t so much deceive the public as stir a broader debate. At least it is now on record as stating the obvious: that climate change is real, and human-caused, and that something — perhaps beneficial to its corporate bottom line — needs to be done. The Republicans did not get the updated memo. Their two leading candidates for office, Ben Carson and Donald Trump, deny the consensus of human-caused climate change. They’re still reading from quarter-century-old Exxon talking points.

Question: What show has the emotional highs of music?

Equally fine on the other side of the story, which is dominated by women, are Ilfenesh Hadera as a Dominican immigrant, Dominique Fishback as a young black mother, and Natalie Paul as a budding community organizer. They all contribute to making “Show Me a Hero” more than worthwhile, and certainly as grounded and authentically textured as any television drama you’re likely to come across. It may not have the visceral pull that mystery and violence gave “The Wire,” or the emotional highs that music gave “Treme,” but you could do worse than a good lecture on civility, tolerance and the virtues of good government.

Question: Which river did the Boko Haram fighters cross to attack Bosso?

Boko Haram fighters crossed the Komadougou River separating Nigeria from Niger and attacked Bosso, a remote town that is a local seat of government with an open-air market that has been sheltering thousands of refugees from the conflict. An army officer in Niger said the fighters were pushed back after at least three hours of combat. Speaking from Niamey, the capital, the officer said all the Boko Haram fighters who entered Bosso were killed. Other Niger government officials could not be reached on Friday afternoon, and phone lines to Bosso, on Niger’s eastern edge, were not working.

Question: Who stated that over a hundred thousand Americans have died due to believing stress is bad for you?

In an experiment led by the Stanford psychologist Alia Crum, when people had only 10 minutes to prepare a charismatic speech, simply reframing the stress response as healthy was enough to relax them and reduce their physiological responses, if they tended to be highly reactive. In a nationally representative eight-year study, adults who reported a lot of stress in their lives were more likely to die, but only if they thought stress was harmful. Over a hundred thousand Americans may have died prematurely, “not from stress, but from the belief that stress is bad for you, ” as the health psychologist Kelly McGonigal notes. O.K., so meditation is just one of many ways to fight stress. But there’s another major benefit of meditating: It makes you mindful. After meditating, people are more likely to focus their attention in the present. But as the neuroscientist Richard Davidson and the psychologist Alfred Kaszniak recently lamented, “There are still very few methodologically rigorous studies that demonstrate the efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions in either the treatment of specific diseases or in the promotion of well-being.”

Over a hundred thousand Americans may have died prematurely, “not from stress, but from the belief that stress is bad for you, ” as the health psychologist <hl> Kelly McGonigal <hl> notes. O.K., so meditation is just one of many ways to fight stress. But there’s another major benefit of meditating: It makes you mindful. After meditating, people are more likely to focus their attention in the present. But as the neuroscientist Richard Davidson and the psychologist Alfred Kaszniak recently lamented, “There are still very few methodologically rigorous studies that demonstrate the efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions in either the treatment of specific diseases or in the promotion of well-being.”


Question: When did Kiev ask the US for help?

From the earliest days of the war, the government in Kiev had asked for military help from the United States. Its request for a sophisticated antitank missile went nowhere, as Washington feared it would just encourage Russia to send more weapons and men to Ukraine. What eventually arrived was basic training.

Question: What was waived for the World Cup?

Ecclestone actually said this was sport, not politics. He held his race and stood side-by-side with Putin last October. Sochi, of course, hosted the 2014 Winter Games, despite concerns at the time about corruption, spiraling costs, terrorism and Russian legislation that was criticized as anti-gay. “Keep politics from our sport” was and still is the message. Putin has already stated that the Kremlin will waive visa restrictions for the World Cup. Blatter will soon run, and most likely easily win, another four-year term as FIFA president, taking him through the 2018 event. He will accept that mantle with his customary lecture about soccer overcoming all the beastly differences that mankind makes for itself.

Question: Who thought Westbrook was a cat-dog?

“Is Russell Westbrook a cat or a dog?” Westbrook is, in fact, the star point guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder, so this was a somewhat jarring question to pose to his fellow players during the National Basketball Association’s All-Star weekend in 2013. Nonetheless, they played along. James Harden thought Westbrook was more of a dog. Dwyane Wade hedged. “He’s a cat-dog,” he said. Finally, Westbrook weighed in. “Wolf,” he said. The cat-or-dog question came from a host of “The Basketball Jones,” an N.B.A. podcast started in 2006 by three Canadian basketball fanatics who will bring their blend of deep basketball analysis and irreverent, goofy attitude to the N.B.A.’s All-Star festivities this weekend in New York.

Question: How many were killed?

As each name of the 12 people killed and 70 wounded was read, and read again — prosecutors filed two charges per victim — the families looked to the corner of the public gallery and gave one another a quiet nod or an arm squeeze. After an emotional 10-week trial, one of the longest and most complex in this state’s history, it took a jury of nine women and three men about 12 hours of deliberation over two days to convict Mr. Holmes on all counts. He now faces a lengthy sentencing process in which prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. The jury’s verdict roundly rejected arguments from his defense lawyers that he had had a psychotic break and was legally insane when he carried out the massacre inside the Century 16 theater in suburban Aurora, Colo., on July 20, 2012. His lawyers argued he was not in control of his thoughts or actions, but prosecutors said Mr. Holmes, despite being mentally ill, had plotted the shootings with calculation and knew what he wanted to accomplish when he started firing into the crowd.

Question: What is a pressure of a teen or young adult?

Suzanne Ciechalski, a freshman at St. John’s University in Queens, said technology that might appear social in nature could in fact lead to stress and feelings of depression. “I feel like people spend a lot of time on social networks trying to create this picture of who they want to be,” Ms. Ciechalski said. “Maintaining that takes a lot of effort. I feel like being a teenager or young adult, the pressure to try and make people see you’re the best is really high.” Contrary to some reports of high rates of drinking among high school students, the survey found a continued decline in college freshmen reporting those behaviors. About one-third said they had drunk beer, wine or hard alcohol at least occasionally in the past year, compared with almost half just 10 years ago. Fewer than one in 50 students reported smoking cigarettes.

Question: How old is Rep. Ryan?

Of course, most lawmakers in Washington spend long periods away from family. But by declaring the preservation of his family life a key concern in taking on a job that is a seven-day-a-week venture — the sort of job he sought once before, in 2012, when he was the Republican vice-presidential nominee — Mr. Ryan, 45, may be ushering in a new era for a position traditionally held by older congressmen who spent years rising through party ranks. “In U.S. society, we often talk about ‘working moms’ but not about ‘working dads,’ and the work-life policies that organizations do provide are often considered as being mainly for women,” said Erika Kirby a professor of communication studies and an authority on work-life issues at Creighton University in Omaha. “So I think Representative Ryan’s call for protecting his family time within a demanding job is extremely significant.”

Question: How long is Price expected to be out injured?

Carey Price missed nine games earlier this season, but during his third game back, Wednesday against the Rangers, he aggravated the injury. He is expected to miss six weeks, putting the spotlight back on Mike Condon. A native of Needham, Mass., who played college hockey at Princeton, Condon started his journey to the Canadiens by trying out for an E.C.H.L. team during his spring break in 2013. After spending the past two seasons in the minor leagues, Condon beat out Dustin Tokarski in training camp for the backup job. Condon is 8-2-3 with a 2.19 goals-against and .916 save percentage, including a 5-2-2 record during Price’s previous absence. He may be this season’s Cam Talbot, the Rangers’ late-blooming backup who held down the fort last season when Henrik Lundqvist missed almost two months.

Question: Who said that too many writer friends have died of alcoholism?

After lunch, Mr. Shoemaker walked with me down the sidewalk to the No Name. I asked if he would join me inside for a drink, but he declined. He doesn’t drink any more, he said. Too many writer friends died “of alcoholism, or the depression behind it,” he said. He mentioned Calvin Kentfield, who drank at No Name and in 1975 fell — or jumped — off a cliff in nearby Bolinas; Richard Brautigan, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1984; and Don Carpenter, another No Name drinker, also dead by gunshot, in 1995. So I went in by myself, ordered a Maker’s Mark, and chatted with the bartender, a retired boat skipper who had never heard of Evan Connell. I took some notes, listened to Simply Red on the piped-in radio, and bought a No Name T-shirt.

Question: Jeb Bush was claimed to be the first governor who effectively fought against what?

Mr. Bush’s campaign, meanwhile, said its candidate is an effective fighter, citing his conservative record as governor of Florida, where he was the “first governor to break the back of the teachers’ union.” “Jeb has taken on the big fights and won, he will do the same as president,” said Tim Miller, the campaign’s communications director. “He twice won hard-fought elections taking on the national Democrat Party in the nation’s largest swing state.” Recently, Mr. Bush has hired a media coach, and has become more willing to take on his rivals, particularly Mr. Trump, dismissing him as “not a serious leader” and “unhinged.”

Question: Who had the most grand slams in the season of 1987?

Don Mattingly is the author of one of baseball’s most preposterous statistical anomalies. In 1987, he set the major league record (it has since been tied) for most grand slams in a season — six — and those were the only ones he ever hit. Two of them came during a streak in mid-July when he matched the record for most consecutive games with a home run — eight — actually hitting 10 in eight games. The last one, in Texas against the Rangers, just barely sailed over the wall in left-center field, not exactly the left-handed Mattingly’s power alley. “Holy cow, he did it!” Phil Rizzuto screamed, announcing the feat on TV. “Holy cow, Mattingly is unbelievable.”

Question: What was her sister's first job after school?

A. No. I think for women it wasn’t expected in my family, even though my sister ended up studying gemology. She was a diamond grader in New York and eventually worked for our gemstones division. When I did look to enter the business, the idea wasn’t rejected, but it was just not expected. Q. Why did you want to join? A. I think very innately I had a strong connection to the product and the business because I grew up in it. Every single meal conversation was about the company, and growing up as a child I was interested. But later on my first reaction was, “I’m not going to go into the business, I’m going to find my own identity, and do my own thing,” which is why I studied art history and languages and started working in the art world and then the fashion industry.
