Question: When did Joseph P. Clancy take over as director?

Democratic members were no less critical. Representative Nita M. Lowey of New York, the ranking Democrat on the committee, urged the agency’s director, Joseph P. Clancy, who took over last month, to demand discipline. She repeatedly pressed him to fire the agents in question, saying their actions proved they were “not the kind of person” that should be employed to protect the president. Under aggressive questioning, Mr. Clancy cautioned that some of the facts about the March 4 accident had not been verified. Contrary to initial reports of a dramatic crash into a White House barricade, Mr. Clancy said, a surveillance video showed the agents’ car slowly nudging an orange construction barrel out of the way so it could move forward.

Question: What is the percentage number of Mississippi same-sex-couple households?

At one point, they tried to find someone who would do the home study that would be a requirement for adoption, but could not find anyone who would come to their home to do it. Both women are cautiously hopeful that the lawsuit will quickly change their situation. “It seems like it’s just the logical next step, but oftentimes, Mississippi doesn’t take the logical next step,” Ms. Smith said. Last year, 29 percent of Mississippi’s same-sex-couple households were raising children younger than 18 — the highest percentage of any state in the nation, the complaint said.

Question: If a investment manager fails to make suitable recommendations to their client, what could happen to the manager?

The Labor Department said on Monday that it would try to do something about that last problem. It has set to work on rules that would assign a “fiduciary duty” to investment managers who handle retirement savings accounts. That means that they would need to put their clients in suitable investment products, and could be sued if they didn’t.

Question: When did the author escape to China?

Mr. Shin has been examined by doctors who believe he was subjected to torture and child labor, given the evidence of his scars and unnaturally bowed arms. We shouldn’t lose sight of that when discussing his lies. It’s easy to see how Mr. Shin was tempted to obscure the truth. For defectors, sometimes doing so is the only way to survive. My own story starts with my escape in 1997, when I was 17. I did not crawl through a tunnel or over an electrified-wire fence, nor was I spirited in disguise across the demilitarized zone. I lived near the border with China, and one night I simply left home and walked across the iced-over river that separated the two countries. I was fortunate that my family had close relationships with some of the border guards, so I was able to cross without incident. At the time, I thought I would return home after a brief visit. I stayed in hiding for a while, learning Chinese. Eventually my Chinese became so fluent that I could pass for a local. Still, I was terrified of being captured or betrayed, so I created a false identity. Staying in China provided me with the opportunity to adjust to life outside of North Korea, and to gain a sense of perspective, most importantly, by learning that so much of what I had been taught about my country was a lie. In the early days, I considered going to South Korea, but I had internalized everything I had been told my whole life: South Korea was the enemy. I believed going there would be a betrayal of my country — and that my family might be punished as a result. Ultimately, I learned that I could go to South Korea by giving up my real identity, which would ensure my family back home would be safe. Once I got there, I faced the same challenges as the 27,000 other defectors who have now made it to the South. They struggle from a lack of education and job skills, discrimination, loneliness and emotional turmoil. Many drop out of school. Suicide rates are unusually high. Many defectors who fail to acclimatize even return to the North. We have no way of knowing how many have returned — and it’s unclear what eventually happens to them — but Pyongyang has started using these “double defectors” for its propaganda.

Question: Who is the founder of Search Engine Land?

Google has made several big changes. Companies will be docked for shortcomings like displaying links that are hard to click or forcing users to scroll horizontally on a lopsided site. In addition, the company recently announced that in certain cases it would also use information contained within apps as a ranking factor for mobile searches performed on phones that run its Android software. “Since mobile search results are about half of what Google handles, anyone might be at risk,” said Danny Sullivan, the founder of Search Engine Land, which closely tracks changes to Google’s search engine. The shift to mobile devices has been a challenge for all businesses, Google included. In the space of a few years, phones have become the dominant portal through which people use the Internet. The United States had 134 million mobile users last year, about 100 million more than in 2010, according to eMarketer, a research company.

Question: What was the name of the street rebellion in the Arab states described in this article?

But in singling out Tunisia, whose 2011 street rebellion overthrew an entrenched dictatorship and launched the “Arab Spring,” the Norwegian Nobel committee also underscored the dismal failure of the uprisings that followed in other Arab states. That, presumably, was the committee’s intent, to demonstrate that a national dialogue led by civic groups can lead a country to an outcome far more promising than the coup that put an end to Egypt’s democratic aspirations or the civil strife that sank Libya, Syria and Yemen into anarchic violence.

Question: when they set sail?

Mary Morris Gamble Booth, class of ’50, traveled to Paris with Sweet Briar’s first junior-year program, which drew students of both sexes from across the country, including, that year, 15 Yale men. It was 1948 when they set sail, and Ms. Booth recounted how one of the Yale men kept trying to sneak up to the first-class deck from third class. “He was wearing white bucks and the British crew did not approve of white buck shoes, so he gave himself away,” she recalled. She said she was not quite paying attention when Secretary of State George Marshall articulated his Marshall Plan at Reid Hall, Sweet Briar’s Left Bank headquarters. Nevertheless, she ended up working for the program in Washington. “This year, I’m chairman of our 65th reunion,” Ms. Booth, 87, said sadly. “When they asked me last year, I said: ‘Sure, how hard can that be? Last year I think four people showed up for their 65th.’ Of course, this year is going to be a mob scene. It’s sort of an alpha and omega. Our reunion, and the last graduation.”

Question: What official is a spokesman for the council?

Separately, Bernadette Meehan, a spokeswoman for the council, said, “President Obama has not opened the door to anything larger than an embassy force after 2016.” Mr. Eggers’s comments are in line with what other officials say is being debated within the administration, even if Mr. Obama’s focus is currently on what to do next year, not afterward. Like so many of the plans for Afghanistan laid out in Washington since the war’s outset in 2001, realities on the ground appear to again be forcing American officials to consider revamping their strategy for ending the war. Peace talks appear to be a far-off possibility after a stretch in February and early March in which it appeared that the Taliban might be willing to meet with the Afghan government. So instead of talking about how to end the war, Afghan and American officials are preparing for violence to intensify as the snow melts in the high passes that separate the insurgents from their safe havens in Pakistan and what is known as the fighting season gets underway. Afghan forces, which have done the bulk of the fighting and dying over the past two years, are still very much a work in progress. They managed to keep the Taliban from making significant gains last summer only with help from the American-led coalition.

Her shrewdly calibrated allure, which easily rivaled that of any first lady in recent memory, suggests that Mrs. Obama has embraced an enviable position at the intersection of pop culture and politics — just because she can. With her time in the White House about to expire, Mrs. Obama — who has flirted in the past with fashion’s cutting edge, igniting flurries of debate with her bangs and bare, gym-toned arms — has irrevocably pulled out the stops. Of late, Mrs. Obama seemed to have largely ceded much of fashion’s spotlight to her 17-year-old daughter, Malia, a style setter to any number of fashion besotted girls her age. But the first lady has snatched back the focus, permitting herself to dazzle in a dress that clung to her hips like cellophane and showed a nervy hint of cleavage. (It was also in sharp contrast to the two outfits she wore to meet Pope Francis earlier in the week: one a demure cowl-neck, turquoise Carolina Herrera dress, the other a black, lacy, but equally modest Monique Lhuillier.)

Answer: bare, gym-toned arms

Question: What are Carpe Diem's odds to win?

J.D.: He twice finished a head behind my top choice, Dortmund, before winning the Sunland Derby in New Mexico. I’m hoping he is overlooked on Derby Day. M.H.: This speedy and improving colt showed in the Sunland that he could win with ease once free of his shadow. Of course, that will not be the case in the Derby.  4. Carpe Diem  Trainer: Todd Pletcher Jockey: John Velazquez Record: 5-4-1-0 Points: 164 Odds: 10-1 J.D.: Seemingly the only real threat from the East, this colt has won races without working up much of a sweat. He is going to like the Derby’s mile-and-a-quarter distance. M.H.: He has shown that he deserves to be in the conversation with Baffert’s big guns. Still, he did not pull away from the Blue Grass Stakes field as much as I expected; Dortmund looked more dominant that day in Santa Anita.

Question: What state are they from?

Efforts to lower the voting age have drawn scattered support at the state and local levels across the country. State Representative Javier Martínez, a Democrat in New Mexico, plans to introduce a bill in January that would lower the voting age to 16 in school board elections. Charles Allen, a member of the Council of the District of Columbia, introduced legislation last month that would give 16- and 17-year-olds the right to vote in local and federal elections. To become law, the measure would require a majority of the district’s 13 council members to support it, and for Congress and the president not to overturn it. Joseph Jackson, 17, a member of the youth council in Richmond, Calif., is working on a draft bill that would lower the voting age in his city’s local elections. He and other teenagers said they already have a lot of responsibility because they can drive, work, pay taxes and be tried in adult court for some offenses. “No taxation without representation is what comes to mind,” Mr. Jackson said.

Question: How many decimal places does pi extend?

“The first digits are actually 3.1415,” said Cindy Lawrence, the museum’s executive director and co-founder. (Pi’s decimal places extend indefinitely.) “So Saturday’s date is the first five digits of pi.” Thus on Saturday, the museum has planned a grand celebration, starting at 9 a.m. in Madison Square Park, where even small children can help form circles. “We’ll get people to line up and count out the distance around the circles, and others to do the distance across them,” Ms. Lawrence said. This pacing will illustrate that the circumference is about three times greater. Staff members will also pass out a graphic and lead a brief countdown to 9:26:53 a.m. because, yes, those are the next digits in pi.

Question: Who does Faust need to embrace this new structure?

So instead of an exchange-traded fund tracking an index, Eaton Vance could, for example, offer one directed by a portfolio manager who specializes in United States growth stocks. Unlike a traditional exchange-traded fund though — and this is the company’s special twist — the new vehicle would not have to disclose its daily basket of stocks, a crucial concern for managers who worry about speculators getting in front of their trades. “I really believe it’s a more efficient structure,” said Mr. Faust, a former equity research analyst who became chief executive of the firm in 2007. “Now, all we need is for the asset managers and the broker dealers to embrace it.”

Question: What age is the daughter who's being adopted?

“We’ve come so far here just recently; it’s pretty amazing the speed of the change,” said Janet Smith, a plaintiff in the case, who is seeking to adopt the 8-year-old daughter, Hannah Marie Phillips, she is raising with her wife, Donna Phillips. Because of the adoption ban, Ms. Smith has no official status in Hannah’s life, Ms. Phillips being her only legal parent. “We’ve had no problem, but I am in the military, so I could be called or activated at any time, and we are concerned about the legal aspects for Jan if something happened,” said Ms. Phillips, who is a captain in the Mississippi Air National Guard.

Question: What train do you commonly see Mets caps on today?

Still, the task of turning New York into a Mets town is far from complete. Prince, the blogger, offered two ways to measure future progress: when Mets caps are highly visible on all trains, not just the 7 line to Flushing, and when a fan’s request to turn a restaurant television to a Mets game is not met with a look “like you have three eyes.” More important, they probably need to do well in the postseason and then re-sign Cespedes. “I think we have a great chance of going all the way,” Breuer said.

Question: What month did Mr. Ghani take office?

But American officials helped the Afghans choreograph some of the more poignant touches, such as inviting the widow of an American general killed in Kabul last year by an Afghan soldier to a speech Mr. Ghani delivered on Monday at the Pentagon, allowing the Afghan leader to thank her publicly for her family’s sacrifice. There was also behind-the-scenes lobbying, and not all of it came for free. Shortly after taking office in September, Mr. Ghani’s government hired the Podesta Group for $50,000 a month to lobby on behalf of Afghanistan and help with public relations, according to filings with the Justice Department. One of the founders of the firm is John D. Podesta, who served as counselor to Mr. Obama and represented the administration at Mr. Ghani’s inauguration. Mr. Podesta is no longer involved with the firm. Mr. Podesta, in fact, was one of the 14 dinner guests on Tuesday to whom Mr. Ghani referred by name in his remarks. As a result of the groundwork laid by many of those guests, the Obama administration was largely in sync with Mr. Ghani even before this week’s visit.

Question: What are the women cautiously hopeful for to quickly change their situation?

At one point, they tried to find someone who would do the home study that would be a requirement for adoption, but could not find anyone who would come to their home to do it. Both women are cautiously hopeful that the lawsuit will quickly change their situation. “It seems like it’s just the logical next step, but oftentimes, Mississippi doesn’t take the logical next step,” Ms. Smith said. Last year, 29 percent of Mississippi’s same-sex-couple households were raising children younger than 18 — the highest percentage of any state in the nation, the complaint said.

Question: What woman insisted on the name change?

When Goldberger describes how Goldberg became Gehry, he portrays a blend of someone who manipulates and is manipulated. Gehry says he opposed the name change. “I didn’t want to do it. You have to understand, I was super lefty, I was involved with liberal causes,” Goldberger quotes him saying. Gehry felt it was “a cop-out.” But Anita, the woman he had recently married, insisted. She was Jewish too, but her maiden name of “Snyder” had been less telling, and she had no use for “Goldberg.” Frank’s mother sided with Anita; his father objected. Frank, declaring his wife “one tough operator,” tells Goldberger: “If you knew Anita, you knew that I had to do it. I had no way out. I was in a corner.” He invented the spelling “Gehry” to simulate Goldberg by starting with G, maintaining a high-profile letter in the middle, and ending with a tail.

Question: How did Mr. Garcia describe his feelings about the weather?

For many New Yorkers this week, as the blizzard panic lifted from the city, the pressing culinary question on Tuesday was, “Now what do I do with all this Dinty Moore?” One answer was just to walk away, perhaps to find a table someplace where the snow outside maintained its fleeting Currier & Ives majesties. Why not? With Tavern on the Green shuttered because of the weather, scenic duty fell to the slight remove of the restaurants of the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle, where the trees of Central Park displayed dustings of white thingamajigs suspended perilously above their inevitable future as unloved street slush. Quiet descended on the city, cocktails and Pat LaFrieda beef products descended on the polished black tables of the Stone Rose Lounge, and stranded tourists consoled themselves for having to spend an extra night in the world’s greatest city. Poor babies. IN THE SEATS At a tall table facing the fourth-floor windows, Noelle Galperin and Ernie Garcia, from Miami, shed no tears for the flight that was supposed to take them home earlier in the day. Ms. Galperin, 46, is a management consultant; Mr. Garcia, 38, runs a financial services company. Both are self-employed. Neither had pressing needs back home. “That’s the beauty of cellphones,” Ms. Galperin said. “We worked a little bit in the morning, took a conference call, and tomorrow we’ll do a little of that. As self-employed entrepreneurs we’re always working, but it’s not bad. We like it.” As for the weather, which scared away much of the usual bustle, Mr. Garcia said he was happy for a little winter. “It was nice to cool down,” he said. “We came from 80-degree weather, so this is a treat.”

Question: New sources claimed what about the escape?

What happened to more than 150 soldiers who had been in the hospital, along with several dozen civilians, was unclear. The state news agency, SANA, said they were “reunited with their comrades,” while insurgent groups contended that many had been captured or killed. There were also competing versions of what prompted their flight. State news media portrayed it as a planned escape carried out with the help of air and artillery strikes in “a successful tactical operation.” Insurgents said the troops fled when they heard the sounds of their opponents digging a tunnel underneath the hospital to blow it up. A video had been posted online earlier of a fighter called Abu Mosaab, who is known for tunneling under government positions, and a commander with his group, Ahrar al-Sham, issued a statement saying: “The psychological war might have a bigger impact than traditional war. This is what Allah bestowed on us by leaking the news of Abu Mosaab’s arrival to Jisr al-Shughour.”

Question: How much will the renovations of Dome Playground cost?

“When we are unable to get a successful bid on a contract, that can delay a project six months to a year,” Mr. Silver said. Such was the case in Councilman Brad Lander’s district, in Brooklyn, where a dog run near DiMattina Playground limped along for years. Mr. Lander allotted $225,000 toward the project in 2010. When it went out to bid, however, there were no takers the first time around. The dog run, in Carroll Gardens, finally opened last summer, with new benches, fountains with spouts and a bone-shape dog pool. “It’s beautiful,” Mr. Lander said. Now he has his eye on another park project: the $2.75 million renovation of Dome Playground, on the border of Kensington and Borough Park. The parks department held a meeting to solicit ideas in early 2011; construction began last week — four years later. “This is another long saga,” said Mr. Lander, who allocated money from his discretionary fund toward the renovation. “But it has picked up pace as of late.”

Question: Who led in playoff minutes played?

Ranking second to James on the team is Kyrie Irving, who rated at 25.1 in the one finals game he played before being injured. Of players still active, the next ranked, at 19.4, is Matthew Dellavedova, the undrafted Australian whose rate in the regular season was 12.6. That is a steep drop-off. Despite being the league’s most valuable player and the clear leader of the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry has a far lower figure than James in the finals, 30.5. And he benefits from teammates who are more useful than Dellavedova, like Klay Thompson (24.5). More conventional statistics back up James’s importance. He leads all players in the playoffs in minutes played, field goals made and attempted, and assists. In addition to those categories, he leads his own team in free throws made and attempted, defensive and total rebounds, steals, points and turnovers. Rare is the Cleveland offensive play that James does not take part in.

Question: How many city agencies get involved in the bidding process?

In June, the advocacy group New Yorkers for Parks released a critical report comparing the management of capital projects by the parks department with that of other public agencies. While Mr. Silver questioned the fairness of some of the comparisons, he nonetheless said that the slow pace of construction would be a chief focus of his first year as commissioner. Tupper Thomas, executive director of New Yorkers for Parks, called the changes “a great start.” Ms. Thomas previously served as the president of the Prospect Park Alliance and the Prospect Park administrator for the parks department. In both capacities, she saw how long it took to finish projects. She said she especially approved of the idea of standardizing design for certain things, like restrooms, rather than creating each one from scratch. “It totally makes sense,” she said. “You work with the guys in the technical shops who say, ‘Don’t use that flushometer; it doesn’t work.’ It saves time, and the plumbers know what valves to get.” Others, however, are waiting for more aggressive changes, particularly in the area of procurement. No fewer than six city agencies get involved in bidding. Matthew Marienthal, an organizer for East Brooklyn Congregations, a coalition of churches and nonprofit groups, said Mr. Silver should “take the lead” in reforming the procurement process, even if it meant “creating some tension” with the mayor. Last month, the group invited Mr. Silver to speak to 650 residents assembled at St. Barbara’s Church in Bushwick, Brooklyn. They had won pledges from the parks department last year to renovate two neighborhood spaces — Heckscher Playground and Green Central Knoll Park — and they wanted to know when the projects would be finished. Mr. Silver said that Heckscher would be done in spring 2017 and Green Central Knoll in October 2017. Work, however, has not started on either park. Adriane Williams, a leader of East Brooklyn Congregations, told Mr. Silver at the meeting, “We think a process where the most simple of fixes take three years is no process at all, just a mess.”

Question: What type of conviction MIGHT be a good indicator?

No single law usually could have prevented mass shootings, which remain rare. Gun violence experts are increasingly interested in changing laws to better target those who have a demonstrated propensity for gun violence. For instance, a nonviolent felony conviction from two decades ago may well be less predictive of gun violence than a domestic violence protection order or drunken-driving conviction, said Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research.

Question: Which location was said to have a cut to its  special tax status?

Some analysts said that Ms. Konstantopoulou, a stickler for rules, could prevent him from using the fast-track procedures that would be necessary to get the job done in time to satisfy European leaders. Portions of the plan must be passed by Wednesday, and more a week from Wednesday. Among the elements that must be dealt with this week are increases in the value added tax, including the end of a special tax status for the Greek islands; a makeover of the pension system; and the imposition of automatic spending cuts if the government misses budget targets. Ms. Konstantopoulou issued a statement saying she had no intention of resigning, even as Mr. Tsipras’s allies talked of impeaching her.

Question: What was the name of Time Rice' album?

“What that did for me, at that impressionable age, was make theater and rock ’n’ roll indistinguishable,” Mr. Lloyd Webber said. “I just thought rock was about theater, and rather old variety theater, at that.” Years later, he and Tim Rice recorded the original 1970 concept album for “Jesus Christ Superstar” — hailed, in its own time, as revolutionary and denounced as sacrilegious — at London’s Olympic Studios, next door to Led Zeppelin.

Question: What did Mr. Searchinge say the land cannot be used for it is already used for something.

Moreover, biofuels are an inefficient way to convert sunlight to fuel, meaning an immense amount of land would be required to supply a significant fraction of global energy demand, Mr. Searchinger said. That land will also be needed to help meet a global appetite for food that is expected to rise 70 percent or so by 2050, he said. “We’ve only got one planet, with only so much land,” Mr. Searchinger said. “If you use land for one purpose, you can’t use it for another.” Mr. Searchinger added that he was concerned by recent policy statements from the Obama administration that he said might open the door to extensive burning of wood pellets in the United States in the name of fighting global warming, similar to what has happened in Europe.

Question: What kind of arrangement can cut expenses?

This type of arrangement can potentially cut buyers’ individual expenses, while providing them with a potential equity gain and a mortgage interest tax deduction. But these ventures can also end badly if buyers assume that friendship alone will see them through any future difficulty. Before applying for a mortgage, the co-borrowers should fully reveal their income, debt and credit status to each other, said Mike Venable, a senior vice president and head of underwriting for retail bank operations at TD Bank. “It definitely needs to be someone you really trust,” he said.
