Question: What year was he writing his concerto?

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: What does Old expression does Leive equate not everyone feeling about their job?

I think everybody does better if they really like some aspect of what they’re doing, but work is work. We can’t all work in jobs where we feel like our heart is singing every day. There’s that old expression, “If work was that great, the rich would keep it for themselves.” The idea that your job is going to make your heart sing on a daily basis is just not true. If that’s the expectation of a 25-year-old today, they’re going to be sorely disappointed. But you can aim for a pretty good heart-singing-to-bummed-out ratio.

Question: How many batters were needed for Clayton Kershaw to break a record?

LOS ANGELES —  Clayton Kershaw went to the mound on Sunday needing to strike out six batters to reach 300 for the season, something no major league pitcher had done in 13 years. With the first round of the postseason against the Mets looming, he wasn’t going to stick around very long. Maybe a couple of innings or so, just enough to stay sharp, even if he didn’t remain long enough to get to 300. And yet he did get there, striking out seven San Diego Padres in just three and two-thirds innings, and getting two standing ovations from Dodgers fans along the way. In the end, he finished the 2015 regular season with a 16-7 record, a 2.13 E.R.A., a WHIP of 0.88 and a strikeout total of 301, a nice exclamation point for a pitcher who has already won three Cy Young Awards and a Most Valuable Player trophy.

Question: What percentage of men had been in combat accordingg to Oleksandr l. Leshchenko

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.

Question: Which stocks jumped in the market?

Markets started the day higher, propelled by a jump in energy stocks, but then quickly gave up the gains. A comment by the chairwoman of the Federal Reserve, Janet L. Yellen, suggesting that stocks were generally overvalued added to the selling pressure. Uncertainty over how quickly interest rates will climb also weighed on markets as yields on bonds continued to rise. Some market experts say they think the Fed will have to increase its short-term rate relatively soon to fight inflation. The yield on the 10-year United States Treasury note rose to 2.25 percent, its highest level in two months.

Question: What news channel was Lynch's interview on?

WASHINGTON — Attorney General Loretta E.

Question: What award did the investigation win?

Encouragingly, some smaller papers have redoubled their investigative efforts, proving that a large staff is not necessary to do important work. At The Post and Courier in Charleston, S.C., the top editor, Mitch Pugh, has created a four-person investigative team in a newsroom of only 72 staffers. Their series on deadly domestic violence brought reform — and won this year’s Pulitzer for Public Service. “If we’re going to ask readers to spend their money on us, we have to make investigative and public service work a cornerstone,” Mr. Pugh told me. Meanwhile, new players have arrived. In addition to national nonprofits — including ProPublica, the Center for Investigative Reporting and the Center for Public Integrity — many cities now have local ones. (The Texas Tribune probably is foremost.) Local public radio stations are also making a push: At KPCC, for example, the public radio station in Southern California, Melanie Sill’s staff built a database on police shootings. There is “a growing commitment to do more investigative and accountability reporting at stations around the country,” said Jim Schachter of WNYC, which won a national award this year for investigating abuse of power by the city’s Police Department. NPR’s news chief, Michael Oreskes, told me that supporting local investigative work is a major emphasis for him. This activity helps explain the all-time high membership in Investigative Reporters and Editors, which brought a record 1,800 journalists to Philadelphia last June, including many from alternative papers and television stations. I found the sense of mission there invigorating, as young journalists jammed into sessions to hone their craft. But what about the future? Investigative reporting’s transition won’t be a smooth one, said Richard Tofel, president of ProPublica. With newspapers still dominant in many cities, there’s not enough of a gap to create great need for new players, funded in new ways, including through philanthropy.

Question: What is the name of the new hockey coach?

“We never know what a coaching change is going to do,” Rutherford said. Sullivan hit all the right notes during his first couple of days on the job. “We create an environment here that we inspire people to play,” he said.And if they don’t, Sullivan insists they will sit regardless of pedigree. “Those that play well will be rewarded with more play,” Sullivan said. Sullivan would prefer the Penguins get the puck to the net as often as possible. It’s a message Johnston repeated constantly, one his players appeared to tune out.

Question: How many hostages were killed in the drone strike?

That unwavering support from Capitol Hill is but one reason the C.I.A.’s killing missions are embedded in American warfare and unlikely to change significantly despite President Obama’s announcement on Thursday that a drone strike accidentally killed two innocent hostages, an American and an Italian. The program is under fire like never before, but the White House continues to champion it, and C.I.A. officers who built the program more than a decade ago — some of whom also led the C.I.A. detention program that used torture in secret prisons — have ascended to the agency’s powerful senior ranks. Although lawmakers insist that there is great accountability to the program, interviews with administration and congressional officials show that Congress holds the program to less careful scrutiny than many members assert. Top C.I.A. officials, who learned the importance of cultivating Congress after the resistance they ran into on the detention program, have dug in to protect the agency’s drone operations, frustrating a pledge by Mr. Obama two years ago to overhaul the program and pull it from the shadows.

Question: Who was sworn in on Tuesday?

SYDNEY, Australia — When Malcolm Turnbull was sworn in on Tuesday, he did not only become Australia’s 29th prime minister — he also became its fourth in just over two years. His three immediate predecessors were ousted by their own parties, including Tony Abbott, who was forced out Monday in a leadership challenge led by Mr. Turnbull. Now that Mr. Turnbull, a wealthy lawyer and former investment banker, has the country’s top job, his main challenge is clear, said Hugh White, an intelligence analyst who from 1985 to 1991 advised Prime Minister Bob Hawke and Defense Minister Kim Beazley.

Question: What rights are the legislation acting in favor of?

Nothing could be further from the truth. The legislation is not about punishing one group because of its religious beliefs; it is about acting to make sure that the civil rights of a community of overwhelmingly low-income minority children are not denied and that their constitutional right to a sound basic education is enforced. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has endorsed the need for action in East Ramapo. Lawmakers should join him, reject the false attacks and act in the interests of the students, who have been failed terribly and must not be made to wait any longer.

Question: What is the purpose of the patent system?

Prior disclosure can come in the form of an obscure research article; an old, expired patent; or inclusion of a chemical structure in a giant online database, for example. (When it comes to obviousness, there’s a tension. We don’t want to provide patent protection for profit-increasing activities that do not benefit patients, like “me too” drugs — drugs that are only trivially different from existing ones. But some things that are obvious also might be beneficial, and for those we’d want to encourage development.) The crux of the problem is this: For pharmaceuticals, patent protection is used as a means for innovators to recoup the costly investments that drug development requires. But the patent system was not devised to solve this specific problem. It’s a broader system intended to encourage innovation, which it does, while at the same time permitting individuals and firms to exploit obvious and old ideas freely, which is generally a valuable protection.

Question: Which provinces had violence?

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia —  Up and down the stairs of the five-star Radisson Blue Hotel, they moved from one meeting to another. Some wore suits, some came in traditional white clothing with turbans, some dressed casually. One rebel leader wore a baseball cap. In a rarity, anyone who is anyone in Sudanese politics — government officials, rebels, politicians, activists and international observers — was in one place, to talk peace. For a moment, it seemed like the momentum in this country — fractured by chronic instability in Darfur, violence in provinces like South Kordofan and Blue Nile, and simmering political tensions in the capital, Khartoum — was finally shifting.

Question: Did they merge with another group?

Ms. Massenet’s Net-a-Porter has spent most of the past 15 years in the red, although it posted a 1.4 million pound profit on sales of 654 million pounds last year. Still, she has enviable industry contacts and a stellar individual reputation. The newly merged group may be easier to run with Yoox’s Mr. Marchetti as the single, clear leader. But Yoox may well miss Mr. Massenet’s input. Yoox also loses her just as online luxury is heating up. LVMH announced it is hiring Ian Rogers of Apple to head up its digital innovation. McKinsey research also shows the strongest growth in online luxury sales happening on the websites of individual luxury brands and leading department stores. For multibrand websites like Yoox Net-a-Porter, the trends are becoming more challenging.

Question: How many other cases are there that include people of colour not getting air time about?

David J. Leonard, an associate professor and chairman of the department of critical culture, gender and race studies at Washington State University, said that despite highly publicized cases like the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and Freddie Gray in Baltimore, many questionable deaths of minorities still received little attention. “There are countless other cases involving African-Americans in the past year that have not received coverage anywhere near the level of Zachary Hammond,” Professor Leonard said. Yet he said much of the attention the Hammond case received on Twitter was spurred by Black Lives Matter activists.

Question: Was the woman driving when she spilled her cup of coffee?

In the misguided popular lore, the display says, the woman was driving when the coffee spilled (she was not), she was not badly injured (she was, with third-degree burns that put her in the hospital for eight days and caused permanent scarring), she was out to fleece McDonald’s (the company rejected her initial request for just $20,000 to cover medical expenses) and she received millions (she received less than $500,000). The museum is in a former bank in this struggling town, dotted with abandoned factories but on the path of weekend visitors to more prosperous areas. Mr. Nader knows that a museum in Washington would have more influence but said he had a hard enough time raising close to $3 million for this location. When he first described his vision for the museum, in 1998, he had hoped to raise $5 million within a year or two.

Question: What year did the assault weapons law expire in?

It’s always the same story. The San Bernardino murderers were wielding assault rifles, with which they were able to fire an estimated 65-75 bullets in rapid succession. Assault weapons, which seem to be the armament of choice for mass shootings, used to be illegal under a law that expired in 2004. If the law had stayed on the books, how many victims would have survived in San Bernardino, or at the elementary school in Newtown, Conn.? Given the fact that semiautomatic weapons are totally inappropriate for either hunting or home defense, some of us would love to trade them for the possibility of reduced casualties next time somebody decides to go on a rampage. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is an excellent example of the politicians who totally disagree. Last time an assault weapons ban came up, he argued that Americans should not be forced to rely on regular slowpoke rifles “in an environment where the law and order has broken down, whether it’s a hurricane, national disaster, earthquake, terrorist attack, cyberattack where the power goes down and the dam’s broken and chemicals have been released into the air and law enforcement is really not able to respond and people take advantage of that lawless environment.”

Question: Which banks mostly control wall street?

All the large United States banks passed an annual regulatory test that aims to assess whether they can make it through a financial and economic calamity, the Federal Reserve said on Wednesday. But Bank of America, the nation’s second-largest bank by assets after JPMorgan Chase, passed only provisionally and could still fail later this year if it does not fix deficiencies that the Fed identified. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley, which dominate Wall Street, each had to alter their planned payouts to investors to achieve passing grades.

Question: Where did Josiah Wedgwood send someone to get white clay?

Not long afterward, while out for a walk, Cookworthy stopped to ask mine workers about the local clay they were using to patch the cracks in a furnace. De Waal juxtaposes Cookworthy’s small-time efforts to fire the stuff with the enterprises of Josiah Wedgwood, the potentate of English pottery, who sent a factotum all the way to a mountain in the Cherokee Nation in the Carolinas to retrieve five tons of white clay. By contrast, Cookworthy’s first successful piece, a cider tankard, is porcelain that “comes into being through walking and noticing and picking things up and feeling texture, through listening intently, openly, to men working by the side of the road.”

Question: What shouldn't Simmons talk about at this time?

But do not expect Simmons to say anything, at least about his departure, until he and ESPN are legally done with each other. Talent contracts like Simmons’s typically contain nondisparagement clauses, so if Simmons strikes out angrily before negotiating his exit — if, say, he verbally slapped Skipper or ESPN — he would forfeit about a third of his estimated $5 million salary, based on just over four months left on his contract.

Question: What year was Raj Rajaratnam convicted?

Raj Rajaratnam, the hedge fund magnate whose insider trading conviction in 2011 represented the government’s first major victory, also challenged wiretapped evidence the government collected against him. He argued that the government’s wiretap application failed to disclose that the S.E.C. was already pursuing a conventional investigation. While the judge overseeing Mr. Rajaratnam’s trial ultimately admitted the recordings as evidence, he admonished the government, saying “the omissions here are troubling to say the least.” After Mr. Rajaratnam’s arrest, prosecutors and the F.B.I. turned the spotlight onto Level Global and others, setting up the Nov. 22, 2010, raid. During the raid, one of the items the F.B.I. collected was a “list of artwork” belonging to Mr. Ganek in addition to a DVD that contained “extractions” from his iPhone and BlackBerry. In the course of the raid, the F.B.I. also seized a folder labeled “S/A/C/ Correspondence,” with a name that was redacted, according to the warrant materials.

Question: What does social technology lead to?

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: What is better about the all-in-one option?

These products allow borrowers to close on a short-term construction loan, which covers the building phase, and the longer-term permanent financing in one transaction. This all-in-one option is more convenient and less expensive than separate closings. But it is still unclear how lenders are supposed to handle the disclosure for these loans under the new regulations, as well as for stand-alone construction loans, according to Mr. Weinberg. “And whenever there are gray areas, lenders move away from the margins to make sure they don’t cause compliance violations,” Mr. Weinberg said. Lender nervousness might ease in coming months, however. After pressure from industry leaders, who warned that lenders weren’t ready for the massive change and that consumers might suffer, the bureau announced plans to postpone the implementation date to Oct. 1 from Aug. 1. The bureau’s director, Richard Cordray, also said that once the rules go into effect, he would allow for a good-faith enforcement grace period as lenders adjust. The new rules are intended to make the mortgage process more transparent for consumers, mainly by providing them with simpler forms and giving them more time to review final loan terms before closing. The nearly 1,900-page rules integrate the Truth in Lending and Real Estate Settlement Procedures Acts.

Question: Which political party is more likely to say they are angry with the federal government?

His older brother was also the beneficiary of hardball politics. In 2000, George W. Bush defeated Senator John McCain in the South Carolina primary after fliers falsely accusing Mr. McCain of fathering a black baby out of wedlock began circulating in the state. Then, in the 2004 general election, he received a boost when Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, an outside group, ran a television ad accusing Senator John Kerry, a decorated Vietnam War veteran, of lying about his war record. And now, with Republicans nearly three times as likely as Democrats to describe themselves as angry with the federal government, according to a recent Pew Research Center study, Jeb Bush may need to get more comfortable — and quickly — with personally going on the attack and channeling a sense of passionate outrage.

Question: Who was the producer of Finding Neverland

Gallows humor about being passed over by the Tony Awards has become a bit of a theme this year. The awards show, on June 7, opened with Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming teasing a producer, Harvey Weinstein, about the lack of nominations for his big Broadway adventure, “Finding Neverland,” and closed with Larry David and Jason Alexander in an extended riff on the lack of nominations for their show, “Fish in the Dark.” The producers of those shows can afford to make light of their losses because their productions are doing well financially. “Rotten!” was tapped to perform the first musical number on the Tonys broadcast, which helped spur ticket sales of more than $750,000 two days in a row, and “Rotten!,” “Neverland” and “Fish” have each been grossing more than $1 million a week — a strong performance for Broadway.

Question: How long would he have to wait in Switzerland to become citizens?

One American finance professional, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said he moved to St. Kitts and Nevis seven years ago for tax purposes, eventually deciding to give up his United States passport. He then moved his family to Switzerland for the schools, European culture and competitive tax benefits. His family is now applying for Maltese passports, attracted by the speed of the program. He would have had to wait 12 years in Switzerland to gain citizenship. “My kids will have the ability to live and work anywhere in the E.U.,” he said. “It’s an incredibly powerful passport.” He does not, however, plan to live in Malta. “We will spend some vacation time there.”

Question: Where did she go to school?

Pat Cordova-Goff, an 18-year-old who describes herself as a “trans woman of color” and a student at Citrus College in Glendora, Calif., created the Gay-Straight Alliance Network petition calling for a boycott of “Stonewall” after watching the trailer. The petition has now racked up more than 24,100 signatures. “There was so much potential in this movie,” she said, adding: “The argument that the best person for the role of a trans person is a cis person ignores the fact that there are so many trans actors and actresses waiting for their big break. There are so many marginalized stories within our queer marginalized community, and we don’t give them a chance to be told.”

Question: What type of defense were the Panthers in when Odell Beckham caught the fourth-quarter touchdown pass?

“He cried a little bit,” Manning said. “I didn’t think that was really necessary. I think Odell took the higher road, and I’m proud of him for that.” Manning later did a little trash talking, although in his typically subtle way. He credited Beckham for regaining his composure later in the game, and then Manning mentioned that the Panthers were in a zone defense for almost the entire game — except for when Beckham caught a fourth-quarter touchdown pass. “It was probably the only time Norman played Odell man-to-man, and Odell beat him.”

Question: What was the special federal tax credit meant to attract to the island?

Q. How did Puerto Rico get here? A. For years, the commonwealth borrowed too much money, trying to paper over declining government revenue and prevent deep cuts in services and layoffs of public workers. Puerto Rico easily found lenders willing to extend the government more debt. The bonds made for hot investments across the mainland United States because the interest is often “triple tax exempt,” meaning the holder does not pay state, federal or city income taxes. But all that debt, now totaling $72 billion, couldn’t solve the structural problems in Puerto Rico’s economy: high labor costs and shipping costs, an exodus of educated people to the mainland United States and the expiration of a special federal tax credit meant to attract big corporations to the island and keep them there.

Question: Which team was Colin Kaepernick a fan of when he was growing up?

Buffalo has also received solid production from guard Richie Incognito and wide receiver Percy Harvin. Those two talented players had seen their public image tarnished over the last few seasons, but they appear to have found a home with Coach Rex Ryan and are playing a big part in the team’s success. The Giants may have the more impressive trophy case, but for right now the Bills are New York’s best (and, technically, only) team. PICK: BILLS Packers (3-0) at 49ers (1-2) 4.25 p.m. Line: Packers by 9 ½ Colin Kaepernick has always enjoyed playing the Packers. He may have grown up rooting for the team, but he has shown it no mercy, beating it once in the regular season and twice in the playoffs. He has done it with his arm (412 passing yards and three touchdowns in the 2013 season opener) and with his legs (a record 181 yards rushing in a 2012 playoff win).

Question: What year did "The Nun's Story" come out in?

1:30 P.M. (TCM) THE NUN’S STORY (1959) “The Nun’s Story” was nominated for eight Academy Awards. Unfortunately, it was up against one of the most celebrated films ever, “Ben-Hur,” and came out Oscar-less. But the film was a Hollywood success even without the hardware. Based on Kathryn Hulme’s novel of the same title, this drama stars Audrey Hepburn as a young Belgian who becomes a nursing nun around the time of World War II. Bosley Crowther, writing in The Times, said that the film’s screenwriter, Robert Anderson, and director, Fred Zinnemann, “have derived an equally amazing motion picture of an extraordinary dedicated life.”

Question: What is the title of the thriller that details the events that ended Dan Rather's career?

The title of “Truth,” a gripping, beautifully executed journalistic thriller about the events that ended Dan Rather’s career as a CBS anchorman, should probably be appended with a question mark. More than most docudramas about fairly recent events, it is so well written and acted that it conveys a convincing illusion of veracity. Just as there are conspiracy theorists who will never be satisfied with the Warren Commission report on the Kennedy assassination, there are some who passionately believe that Mr. Rather and his producer Mary Mapes (Cate Blanchett) conspired to tarnish George W. Bush’s reputation.

Question: How much is the embroidered bomber?

That said, his more forward-looking items — I tried on an excellent bomber with an embroidered bee on the chest ($1,890) — show a possible pathway through the tension. But several of the other shops here feel deeply superfluous: say, the Hermès perfumery, which is right next to a Davidoff of Geneva cigar shop. A newsstand sells magazines like Sleek and The Great Discontent along with matcha-flavored mini Oreos. And truly functional stores seem like outliers. What will become of humble, excellent Kamakura Shirts, relegated to a side corridor on the second floor, if the local business crowd doesn’t find it? No one is coming to ground zero to buy an expertly cut oxford shirt.

Question: Fans repeated what?

As his round unraveled, the greeting he received at each tee box grew louder and more prolonged. Fans repeatedly shouted, “Keep your head up, Tiger!” and “Keep fighting, Tiger!” By the final holes, Woods was getting a reception fit for the Olympic bobsledders from Jamaica or the female sprinters from Iraq. Gone is the golfer whose mere presence on the leaderboard Sunday seemed to send other contenders into a free fall. In his place is someone who looked frightfully familiar to the 20-handicappers in the stands. As one weekend duffer in Woods’s gallery mournfully noted, “Watching him makes me feel more normal.”

Question: What did West's bid help Manley do?

With the deal counted out, South cashed his diamond ace and club queen, bringing everyone down to three cards. Declarer held the heart K-8-7, West the heart J-10-6 and dummy the heart 9-5-3. South led a low heart from his hand to hold West to one more trick. Manley took two spades, three hearts, one diamond and three clubs. Plus 150 was a near top on the board. West’s intervention with 4-4 in the majors at unfavorable vulnerability isn’t recommended. But it could have worked well if East had bid one diamond, not one spade. As it went, though, West’s bid helped Manley to read the deal perfectly.
