Question: Who is Vanderbilt's junior shortstop?

“If you hit it well, you should get rewarded for it,” said the Vanderbilt junior shortstop Dansby Swanson, the most outstanding player at last year’s Series and the first overall pick in the major league amateur draft, by Arizona. “I think that’s what is happening this year.” Swanson led the Commodores with 15 homers after hitting only three last season. Scoring rose as well, to 5.44 runs per game in the regular season from 5.08, reversing a recent trend. Curiously, so did strikeouts by pitchers, who discovered they could throw the new ball harder and snap sharper breaking pitches. Before Iowa lost in regional play, Hawkeyes Coach Rick Heller said he had never seen as many pitchers hit 95 miles per hour on the radar gun as he did this season. “I think the biggest thing, quite frankly, is our pitchers enjoy throwing it more,” said Louisiana State Coach Paul Mainieri, whose pitching staff struck out 93 more batters than it did last year. “There are no blisters. They get a little bit more movement, maybe even a little more velocity.”

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: Who did Mr. Moyer say that his company would be committed to serving?

“We are committed to providing the best service to our clients and will remain committed to ensuring accepted standards are met,” Mr. Moyer said. Baltimore has been the scene of riots that exploded over the death of Freddie Gray, a young black man who was injured in police custody and later died, though the motion is unrelated to that death, which led to charges against six police officers. The motion came days after Martin O’Malley, who as governor of Maryland oversaw the jail system from 2007 through 2015, announced that he was running for president. Earlier, as mayor of Baltimore, Mr. O’Malley introduced a “zero tolerance” brand of policing, the lingering effects of which are still being felt in the relationship between law enforcement and city’s poor, black neighborhoods.

Question: What group was trying to enforce changes at the jail?

Tuesday’s move is the latest in a long push by the A.C.L.U. to force changes at the jail. The group filed its first class action on behalf of inmates in 1993, saying the poor conditions constituted cruel and unusual punishment. In the years since, the jail has staved off court orders by agreeing to improve conditions. The most recent settlement was in 2009. But the A.C.L.U. said the state had failed to make meaningful improvements at the jail, which overwhelmingly houses poor, black residents caught up in drug-related crimes.

Question: According to the motion, what sort of care are inmates not receiving?

Many inmates do not get the required medical care, the motion says. “It must be remembered that the great majority of those confined in B.C.D.C. are awaiting trial, and so, under our Constitution, may not be punished,” the motion said, referring to the Baltimore City Detention Center. “Moreover, even for those confined in the jail who have been convicted, the Constitution does not permit them to be punished by denial of medical or mental health care, or by subjecting them to conditions of confinement that are unreasonably dangerous or inconsistent with human dignity.” The problem has been long in the making as Baltimore did not invest in upkeep of the jail, the oldest sections of which date from the 1850s, said Elizabeth Alexander, the former director of the National Prison Project of the A.C.L.U. and one of the lawyers who filed the motion. “There have been decades of neglect; this didn’t just happen in a day,” she said. “Lack of staff, lack of resources and ultimately a lack of priority for people who don’t have much influence in society all led to this.”

Question: What team is local to New York?

For the first time since 1998, and for the fifth time in league history, the All-Star Game made a stop in New York, infusing the arena with a dose of the basketball skill, celebrity presence and general sense of occasion it has lacked for the last three months, given the struggles of the hometown Knicks. The game capped a multiborough weekend spree of brand-sponsored parties, in-store promotional appearances, charity events and various activities vaguely related to basketball, some of which took place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The N.B.A. distributed two-thirds of the tickets to its marketing and broadcast partners and affiliates, the participating players and the players’ union, as well as league alumni. The league said that around 1,800 credentials were issued to various media outlets.

Question: Who is facing time in a supermax penitentiary?

The government and defense have been locked in increasingly intense battles, some voiced through objections in court, others occurring out of earshot of the jury and the news media; the contents of some of those have been made available later through transcripts. The only testimony Thursday concerned the conditions that Mr. Tsarnaev would face in the supermax penitentiary in Colorado, sometimes called the ADX, where he is likely to go if the jury sentenced him to life in prison. William Weinreb, the lead prosecutor, told the judge in a sidebar that the prison conditions that Mr. Tsarnaev would face might be the most crucial factor weighed by the jury. “The jury cares a lot about this,” Mr. Weinreb said, according to a transcript. “We’re talking about maybe the most important thing for them.”

Question: What is the toughest federal prison?

The ADX is the toughest prison in the federal system, and the defense has twice shown an aerial photo of the facility, covered with snow in the shadow of the Rockies, appearing so remote that it could be in Siberia. Mr. Mellin spent a great deal of time suggesting that the prison was in fact closer to civilization than was evident in the photo. The prosecutor also suggested that Mr. Tsarnaev could eventually be transferred to a less secure facility, but under defense questioning, Mr. Bezy batted away that notion: Mr. Tsarnaev would not be transferred, he said, because other inmates “would want to do him great bodily harm.” At the ADX, he would be in solitary confinement 23 hours a day.
