Question: What does the US have stricter rules on?

WOLFSBURG, Germany —  Volkswagen said on Wednesday that it would be able to bring its diesel cars into line with European clean-air standards by updating engine software and installing a small, tube-shaped part roughly the same diameter as the cardboard tube in a roll of paper towels. The technical patch that Volkswagen presented at company headquarters here is valid only for Europe, where it will be installed beginning next year. Modifying Volkswagen diesel cars sold in the United States will be more complicated because of stricter rules on emissions of nitrogen oxides, pollutants harmful to the environment and human health.

Question: What game did Mr. Norris promise to play with Raymond?

Walking toward his family in the parking lot, Mr. Norris wore heavy gray sweatpants and heavier gray whiskers, some pounds having migrated from his barrel chest to his belly, but still with the muscular shoulders of his distant youth. (His brother-in-law remarked, “Man, he looks good.”) Mr. Norris’s younger son, Raymond, who could not travel to the reunion from New Mexico, received Mr. Norris’s first phone call and a promise: “It’ll be my last game of basketball — I’m going to show you what Daddy’s got left and then retire.”

Question: Who was the person George W. Bush let handle the negative side of their politics?

Ron Kaufman, who served in the first President Bush’s administration and is a longtime friend of the family, said Jeb Bush in particular was more of a serious-minded policy aficionado than a political fighter. “He’d much rather talk policy, and he’s just not a guy who’s ever been one who likes to be on the attack,” Mr. Kaufman said. In addition to his ill-fated assault on Mr. Rubio, Mr. Bush failed to fully deliver a debate salvo against Donald J. Trump that his campaign had similarly ordered up. Standing onstage in Simi Valley, Calif., Mr. Bush called on Mr. Trump to apologize for inserting Mr. Bush’s wife, Columba, who was born in Mexico, in the immigration debate. Mr. Trump called her “a lovely woman,” but refused to apologize. Nonetheless, the Bushes — a clan as competitive as it is genteel — have also proved willing to go negative when necessary, if not directly then at least by letting those in their orbit play rough. Mr. Bush’s father relied on Lee Atwater, who in a memoir nicknamed himself the “bad boy” of American politics, and his brother often delegated his unsavory tasks to Karl Rove.

Question: What narrative tool does Ball use?

With the simplicity of a fable and the drama of a psychological thriller, Ball tells a story about starting over from nothing, reconstructing life from its most basic elements. These acts of narrative deconstruction highlight his strength as a deeply questioning writer at home in fact as much as abstraction. In the village’s cemetery, Ball deconstructs death. Noting that gravestones are “irrational” because they prolong suffering while failing to bring back the dead, the claimant wonders: “But, if life is just that, just being reasonable, then there is nothing in it — nothing worthwhile. So, the yearning that we have to keep dead things living — or to make unreasonable things reasonable. That is why a person should live.”

Question: What were the Rams shy of by 15000 tickets?

Larry Fitzgerald topped 1,000 receiving yards in a season for the seventh time. Fitzgerald, who caught eight passes for 55 yards, also became the youngest player to reach 1,000 career catches. The Rams, who have lost five in a row, announced that 51,115 tickets had been distributed, a season low and about 15,000 shy of a sellout. BRONCOS 17, CHARGERS 3 Brock Osweiler hit Demaryius Thomas for a 3-yard score on the opening drive, and Danny Trevathan intercepted a Philip Rivers pass and returned it 25 yards for a touchdown as Denver won at San Diego. Osweiler moved to 3-0 since taking over for the injured Peyton Manning. San Diego has lost five straight at home and five straight against A.F.C. West foes. Running back Melvin Gordon, the Chargers’ first-round draft pick this year, lost a fumble and was benched. CHIEFS 34, RAIDERS 20 Derek Carr passed for 283 yards and two touchdowns, but he also threw three fourth-quarter interceptions that sank Oakland against visiting Kansas City, which won its sixth straight. Two of Carr’s interceptions led to Jeremy Maclin touchdown catches, and Tyvon Branch returned the third for a game-clinching score. The Raiders, who have lost four of five, were leading by 6 points and driving when Carr’s mistakes changed the tide of the game. BILLS 30, TEXANS 21 Tyrod Taylor threw three scoring passes, including a 40-yarder to Charles Clay with 1:53 left, and he had a rushing score to help Buffalo secure a home win. Taylor passed for 211 yards, was sacked just once and added 28 rushing yards. He showed little fear in throwing into double coverage, completing two 53-yard passes to Sammy Watkins. And Taylor played with poise in finding Clay for the decisive touchdown after the Bills’ offense had sputtered, with five punts and a missed field-goal attempt on the team’s first six drives of the second half. BENGALS 37, BROWNS 3 Cincinnati’s Andy Dalton threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score to notch his 50th career win, sending host Cleveland to its seventh straight loss.

Question: when is the National Museum of Contemporary Art scheduled to open again?

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: What is the Yankee's average home attendance according to MLB?

(Major League Baseball, which calculates attendance differently, has the Yankees’ average home attendance at 40,086.) The Mets are averaging 31,257 a game this season, a 17.6 percent rise from last season. That is still about 10,000 short of the capacity at Citi Field, but this season’s increase of 4,689 fans a game represents a drastic shift from a dispiriting trend: Attendance had fallen almost 32 percent from a peak of 38,941 during the inaugural season of the ballpark six years ago. Yet perhaps a more precise reflection of the passion of a fan base is viewership on a team’s cable television channel. After all, most fans prefer to watch games without having to buy tickets, which can be expensive. The Yankees’ YES Network started in 2002, soon after the peak years of the dynasty. The Mets’ SNY began in 2006 and then capitalized on a three-year period when the Mets were a good team, albeit one that endured heart-wrenching late-season collapses in 2007 and 2008.

Question: When does the museum close?

The museum will open early, at 9:30, with a daylong pi scavenger hunt. (It closes at 5 p.m.) “The idea is to find places where aspects of pi come up in the exhibits,” said Glen Whitney, co-founder of the museum and president of its board. Children can also do pi puzzles there and play a circular version of tick-tack-toe involving four concentric loops divided into wedges. Visitors can explore pi further by filling the spaces on a circular grid with candy, and feeding a chosen set of digits (a birthday, a phone number) into a computer and learning where that sequence appears in pi.

Question: How many people died at Auschwitz, according to historians?

It explicitly dismissed statements by Rudolf Höss, one of the commanders at Auschwitz, that a cyanide gas, Zyklon B, had been used to commit mass murder. It said those confessions were made “under duress.” Most historians estimate that 1.1 million died at the camp. Mel Mermelstein, a businessman from Long Beach, Calif., who survived Auschwitz, provided documents, eyewitness testimonies, histories, photographs and even a can that had contained Zyklon B to the institute. He told of seeing his mother and sister driven into the gas chambers in 1944.

Question: where did Dr. Pai go to school?

At first blush, Dr. Pai’s profile and career seem at odds with the stereotype that has long been affixed to midcentury graduates of Sweet Briar: as Southern belles (perhaps accompanied by their horses) polished to a high sheen for careers as wives, mothers and volunteers. Yet the Pink Bubble, as Sweet Briar women have long called their alma mater, has also nurtured generations of feisty professionals, many of them working in the sciences, who attended the school before the era of widespread coeducation at the college level. Since March, when the school’s board suddenly said it would close the college because of dwindling enrollment and strapped finances, a campaign to save it has pursued legal and other actions with increasing gusto and success; last month, the Commonwealth of Virginia sued to keep the college open. Last week, a judge ruled that, for a period of 60 days, the board could not close the school using funds solicited for its operation.. The campaign #Save Sweet Briar has raised $1 million, and another $10 million has been pledged. Against this backdrop, the experiences of Sweet Briar’s postwar graduates, who have been galvanized by the campaign and are reconnecting on Facebook, email and by phone, paint a vivid picture of an era marked by conflicting cultures: one that was still defined by hostess houses, white gloves and the “ring before spring” doctrine that cast women’s colleges as mere finishing schools, and one with a commitment to educating women for roles far from the home.

Answer: Sweet Briar

<hl> At first blush, Dr. Pai’s profile and career seem at odds with the stereotype that has long been affixed to midcentury graduates of Sweet Briar : as Southern belles (perhaps accompanied by their horses) polished to a high sheen for careers as wives, mothers and volunteers. <hl> Yet the Pink Bubble, as Sweet Briar women have long called their alma mater, has also nurtured generations of feisty professionals, many of them working in the sciences, who attended the school before the era of widespread coeducation at the college level. Since March, when the school’s board suddenly said it would close the college because of dwindling enrollment and strapped finances, a campaign to save it has pursued legal and other actions with increasing gusto and success; last month, the Commonwealth of Virginia sued to keep the college open. Last week, a judge ruled that, for a period of 60 days, the board could not close the school using funds solicited for its operation.. The campaign #Save Sweet Briar has raised $1 million, and another $10 million has been pledged.

Question: Who caught the tying touchdown pass?

Beckham’s actions may have been motivated, in part, by frustration with Norman’s smothering defense and his own failings. A minute and a half into the game, Beckham was clear with the end zone in sight, but he dropped a pass from Manning.

Question: Where did the Yankees meet their hopeful fans on Track 17?

On Sept. 25 the lead was gone, after the Red Sox beat the Yankees, 4-1, at Fenway Park behind Ted Williams’s 43rd home run and a four-hitter by Mel Parnell. Still hopeful Yankees fans thronged Grand Central Terminal to greet the team as it arrived that night from Boston on Track 17. “So aggressive were the fans in their efforts to reach the ball players,” The New York Times wrote, “that the police and station guards had to escort several of the team to side exits to avoid accidental injury to the already crippled squad.” The optimistic fans had their hopes dashed the next night at Yankee Stadium. The Sox took over first place with a 7-6 win, Johnny Pesky scoring on a squeeze by Bobby Doerr.

Question: Who was the pastry chef?

We fared better with desserts. The pastry chef, Krista Guiwo, was trained at the French Culinary Institute in New York City and usually has eight frequently changing choices on her menu. While the frozen lemon mousse had an icy, not-so-lemony taste, the crème brûlée trio in classic, coffee and passion fruit flavors, as well as the triple chocolate mousse cake, were incredibly velvety. Better still was the warm honey pine nut tart, with a filling of caramelized nuts and chestnut honey and a dollop of crème fraîche. It was a sweet ending, but the nits picked throughout the night went beyond the food: some of our plates were chipped, and the waitstaff didn’t replace a dropped knife or clean up our visibly dirty table before bringing out desserts. These faults wouldn’t matter as much if the prices were lower, but Orama is an expensive night out, so our expectations were high. Still, there are those views and that gorgeous villa. Until the kitchen and the service catch up to the visuals, it might be preferable to savor the skyline and décor from the bar.

Question: Robert F. Kennedy was what number child out of nine children?

In our neighborhood, we were the small family, at least among the Irish and Italians. A few doors down, there were 12 kids in one house, 14 in another. We could almost field a full baseball team. But the Flynns, they could put an entire football lineup on a snowy field at Thanksgiving, with reserves. My mother agonized over what to do. She was devout, though starting to read progressive Catholic magazines like Commonweal, which published the essays of Hannah Arendt and the poetry of W.H. Auden. We loved Robert F. Kennedy’s family: 11 kids, and Ethel looks great. Bobby himself was the seventh of nine. Of course, they had money, so it looked glamorous.

Question: China wants their consumers with extram money to do what?

They will also have to compete for customer deposits by paying higher interest rates to savers. China’s leaders hope that consumers, with extra money in their accounts, will increase their spending; Beijing sees consumer demand as a main driver of the country’s future economic growth. The challenges are significant, for banks and the economy. China has been considering more liberal interest rates since the mid-1980s, and the introduction of deposit insurance since at least 1993. Policy makers have hesitated in part because similar financial reforms have set off crises in other markets.

Question: What happened?

A brain infection caused by a parasite was eventually suspected. Slowly, he recovered. “That changed him; it made him live in the moment,” Julie Trice said. “It made him realize that tomorrow is not promised, and neither is the next game.” Healthy again, Travis Trice had time to work out and get stronger. “He got up to maybe 175 pounds,” Izzo said, laughing. “But this past summer, he really advanced a lot physically. And I think he got more confident, too. Travis has always had a high basketball I.Q., but this season, I saw Travis develop in new ways. The last six weeks, he’s just been electric.”

Question: Who covered Apple for Newsweek and Rolling Stone?

Question: What was the score in Nishikori's match against Wawrinka before Nishikori's comeback?

Nishikori trailed by 6-1 in the third-set tiebreaker before he saved five consecutive match points to level the score at 6-6, sending the resigned crowd into unlikely excitement. But with Wawrinka pinned behind the baseline on the next point, an attempted drop shot by Nishikori hit the bottom of the net tape and slid down onto his side of the court, sending his coach, Michael Chang, similarly slumping into his seat. The error gave Wawrinka a sixth match point, which he converted with an ace for a spot in the semifinals.

Question: Where did Sandy retire from?

On a quiet Friday morning in November 2010, Sandy sat down with a mug of honey-ginger tea to read two books that Daryl had brought her. By this point, a year and a half after her amnestic M.C.I. diagnosis, she had progressed to what Duffy said was Alzheimer’s disease. She had retired from Cornell, but she was doing well. She could still travel alone to familiar destinations, including Austin, Tex., where Emily was living. Jeremy had temporarily moved back home to be with her. She could read novels, even difficult ones like Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road.” She played tennis, gardened and went for walks around Ithaca with a handful of friends, most of them former colleagues from Cornell. She saw a few psychotherapy patients. One would later say that even though Sandy was having some trouble remembering words, “it didn’t really matter. In a therapy relationship you’re talking more about emotions — and in that regard, she didn’t miss a beat.”

He has not recouped his initial investments, including about $350,000 for structures that accommodate as many as 80 guests, and $6,000 for solar heaters and water filtration and biogas-capture systems.

Question: Which party wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act?

While Republican candidates for the White House want to repeal the Affordable Care Act and generally oppose interfering with the drug industry, Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Sanders are competing fiercely with each other to press for greater competition and new regulations to rein in pharmaceutical companies. Mrs. Clinton announced her patient spending cap as part of a plan that includes requiring most drug makers to spend a defined portion of their profits on research and development, ending tax breaks for pharmaceutical advertising and allowing Americans to import lower-priced drugs from other countries. “It has gotten to the point where people are being asked to pay not just hundreds but thousands of dollars for a single pill,” said Mrs. Clinton, who laid out her proposals at a forum in Iowa, where she and Mr. Sanders are running closely in opinion polls for the first-in-the-nation caucuses. “That is not the way the market is supposed to work. That is bad actors making a fortune off of people’s misfortune.” Even before Mrs. Clinton spoke, Mr. Sanders issued a statement reiterating his proposals, made early this month, including letting people buy drugs from Canada and allowing Medicare to negotiate with drug companies over prices (which is also in her plan). He also noted that he has backed medication purchases from Canada since 1999, before Mrs. Clinton joined the Senate.

Mrs. Clinton announced her patient spending cap as part of a plan that includes requiring most drug makers to spend a defined portion of their profits on research and development, ending tax breaks for pharmaceutical advertising and allowing Americans to import lower-priced drugs from other countries. “It has gotten to the point where people are being asked to pay not just hundreds but thousands of dollars for a single pill,” said Mrs. Clinton, who laid out her proposals at a forum in Iowa, where she and Mr. Sanders are running closely in opinion polls for the first-in-the-nation caucuses. “That is not the way the market is supposed to work. That is bad actors making a fortune off of people’s misfortune.” Even before Mrs. Clinton spoke, Mr. Sanders issued a statement reiterating his proposals, made early this month, including letting people buy drugs from Canada and allowing Medicare to negotiate with drug companies over prices (which is also in her plan). He also noted that he has backed medication purchases from Canada since 1999, before Mrs. Clinton joined the Senate.


Question: Sometimes Marcelo does a double, what does that mean to him?

The #nightshift hashtag is especially well populated by the armed professions and the healing ones. Sometimes they are almost one and the same, as in the case of @armedmedic3153, a.k.a. Marcelo Aguirre, a paramedic in Newark and suburban New Jersey. He owns an AR-15, a 9-millimeter and a shotgun, but the only thing he shoots on the night shift is his camera. He works nights so he can study days; he wants to be a doctor. Nights are good preparation for that: You get more serious cases. You learn on the job. A 12-hour course each night you’re on. Twenty-four hours if you take a double. After a while, the adrenaline that juices you when you’re new — when you’re still keeping a tally of the lives you’ve saved — disappears. You just do the job. “High speed and low drag,” Aguirre told me when I called. “Please ignore the siren,” he said. “We’re going to a call.” A stroke. Nothing to get excited about. Coffee sustains him. He stays clean. Some guys, he said, use Provigil, but that’s prescribed. “For shift-work disorder,” he said.

Answer: Twenty-four hours

Twenty-four hours if you take a double.

Question: To be elected a managing director for Goldman Sachs puts on track to become what?

The Goldman Sachs Group is in the middle of its biennial election of the next class of managing directors, an envied status that puts the lucky few just a breath away from the company’s loftiest title of partner. The managing director class that will be inducted starting in January is being culled now, said Gary Cohn, president and chief operating officer, who added he had “no real concerns” about the culture of the bank. Mr. Cohn said Goldman had learned to adapt and change over the years as its model shifted from a traditional private partnership to a global publicly traded company.

Question: what was Mr. Constantine looking for?

Mr. Constantine once told a State University interviewer that after working in a radiator factory in Buffalo, he joined the Erie County sheriff’s office because “law enforcement was a chance for people of my generation, usually people of ethnic groups — Irish, Italian, Polish — who grew up in city neighborhoods and who had not gone to college, to get into an occupation with a challenging environment that had a great deal of flexibility and autonomy.” “We were looking for excitement and adventure,” he said.

Question: Has Corbyn's campaign excited his party's base?

“Whether it’s weakening our defenses, raising taxes on jobs and earnings, racking up more debt and welfare or driving up the cost of living by printing money — Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party will hurt working people,” he said in a statement. More worrying for Mr. Corbyn will be internal critics. Steven Fielding, professor of political history at Nottingham University, said that the emphatic nature of Mr. Corbyn’s victory made it likely that his opponents would keep quiet for some months, and hope for him to trip up. “I think there will be some kind of cease-fire, and that they will see how it goes, assuming that in six to 12 months, Labour’s opinion poll position will start to fall, and then they can start acting more assertively,” Mr. Fielding said. Doing so more quickly might risk the wrath of the party supporters, many of whom have been energized by Mr. Corbyn’s campaign, Mr. Fielding added. On Saturday they thronged the conference center where the results were announced, some cheering or chanting.

Question: When did Mr. Mora die?

“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: How much did Sprout sell for?

Cindy Whitehead, who oversaw a long, but ultimately successful, effort to bring to market the first prescription drug to enhance women’s sexual drive, is leaving her post as chief executive of Sprout Pharmaceuticals. In August, the Food and Drug Administration approved Sprout’s Addyi, often referred to as the “little pink pill,” after rejecting it in 2010 and in 2013 on concerns about side effects and limited effectiveness. Shortly after the approval, Sprout, which was privately held, agreed to be acquired by Valeant Pharmaceuticals for $1 billion.

Question: which  museum got ahold of entire thing?

March marked the 50th anniversary of Louis Armstrong’s historic tour behind the Iron Curtain, as the Soviet bloc was then called. The second stop on the tour was East Berlin, where, on March 22, 1965, he and his All Stars played a memorable two-hour concert. The concert was broadcast on German television and radio; a few years ago, a condensed version found its way to YouTube. More recently, the Louis Armstrong House Museum got ahold of the entire thing, and on Thursday, it held a screening at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens. Armstrong was at the height of his popularity in 1965; the year before, his single “Hello, Dolly!” had replaced the Beatles’ “Can’t Buy Me Love” at the top of the charts. He was a little like Muhammad Ali would become decades later — an African-American icon who was internationally known and universally beloved, though more so abroad than in his own country. During his stay in East Berlin, Armstrong was actually able to cross over into West Berlin without any papers, an unheard of event. “Satchmo,” one of the guards said excitedly upon seeing him. “This is Satchmo!” It didn’t matter that Armstrong’s recordings were nowhere to be found in East Germany. The concert hall was packed, and the crowd was ecstatic. Several times, the East Germans started clapping as soon as they heard the first few bars of a song — making it clear that they already knew it.

Question: What is happening to rivers and skies in the U.S.?

You would never know that in many parts of the world, like the United States, the rivers and skies are getting cleaner. The race for riches, ironically, produces the wealth that can be used to clean the environment. A few years ago, a team of researchers led by Daniel Esty of Yale looked at the environmental health of 150 countries. The nations with higher income per capita had better environmental ratings. As countries get richer they invest to tackle environmental problems that directly kill human beings (though they don’t necessarily tackle problems that despoil the natural commons). You would never suspect, from this encyclical, that over the last decade, one of the most castigated industries has, ironically, produced some of the most important economic and environmental gains. I’m talking of course about fracking.

Question: What are a dead end policy?

Greek officials have told journalists that Mr. Tsipras will not seek financial aid from Russia. But he has also said that European sanctions against Russia for its aggression in Ukraine are a “dead-end policy.” That stance is seriously harmful because the sanctions are having a real impact on Russia and should be maintained. But they have to be renewed periodically and all members of the European Union — including Greece — have to agree to extend them. Mr. Putin has shown a keen interest in exploiting divisions within the European Union for his own gain. For example, he has recently courted the government of Cyprus by providing it a loan and reaching an agreement that allows Russian warships to dock at a commercial port in that country. Mr. Putin has also cultivated Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary as an ally. And, last year, a Russian bank lent money to the far-right National Front party in France, which is gaining popularity in that country and says it would want France to leave the eurozone if it came to power. It would be a public relations triumph for Mr. Putin if Mr. Tsipras publicly criticized the sanctions while he was in Moscow.

Question: What country needed instructions from the Americans?

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.
