Question: How many children has Rep. McMorris Rodgers had since being elected?

“There’s a number of members, male and female, who have young families now,” said Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington, who has had three children since she was elected to Congress in 2004, and who serves on the House Republican leadership team. “Maybe it’s because Congress is getting younger and finding how to balance things. A conversation around that is healthy for the effectiveness of this institution.”

Question: The FBI recovered a list of what during its November 2010 raid?

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 time was the Sunday game supposed to start?

Coughlin called Beckham “emotional” and said curbing his on-field excesses was an ongoing process. Disciplining Beckham could not have been easy for the N.F.L., which moved the Giants’ next game, in Minnesota, to Sunday night from its original 1 p.m. scheduled start, in part to feature Beckham in prime time. In that game, the Giants may be trying to keep their playoff hopes alive. Just last week, Beckham received the most votes of any wide receiver from fans in the league’s Pro Bowl balloting. A Sunday night appearance would also have put Beckham in a highlighted spot for fantasy football contestants nationwide.

Answer: 1 p.m

Question: Where are treasury bonds being sold?

“Why on earth would someone buy a negative-yielding bond?” Mr. LeBas said. “The reason, of course, is that you expect somebody else to buy it off you.” Whatever the cause, the shift came so fast that it forced banks to raise cash by selling Treasury bonds, traders said. And that, in turn, helped increase long-term interest rates in the United States.

Question: In the game where the opposing team scores 2 goals, how many goals did the Rangers score?

Harvey has been described as a good-luck charm. After throwing a gem on May 1 against the Nationals, the next afternoon he was at the Rangers’ game, sitting near center ice at the Garden, about eight rows up. He was one of the first celebrities saluted on the video board. Then he appeared to leave after the second period, presumably so he could get to Citi Field in time for the Mets’ game that night. The Rangers eventually won that game, 3-2, and on Friday, after the Mets had finished, they pulled out a 2-1 overtime victory. On Friday night, the lowly Phillies kept Harvey busy. His start was another test in his comeback from Tommy John surgery, to see how he would perform if his routine kept getting tweaked. In the Mets’ ongoing quest to keep him healthy, they had started manipulating the rotation, taking advantage of quirks in the schedule to give Harvey extra days off.

Question: What awards ceremony honored the winning movies?

“The Grand Budapest Hotel” and “The Imitation Game” were named best original and adapted screenplay, respectively, at the Writers Guild of America Awards, given out Saturday in Los Angeles and New York. The script for “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” a comedic caper about a charismatic concierge and a young bellboy at a popular 1930s European ski resort, was written by Wes Anderson. “The Imitation Game” was written by Graham Moore and based on Andrew Hodges’s book about the British code-breaker Alan Turing. Other winners included Brian Knappenberger’s “The Internet’s Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz,” about a computer programming prodigy and information activist, for best documentary screenplay; Nic Pizzolatto’s “True Detective,” the HBO mini-series that revisits a 1995 murder case in rural Louisiana 17 years later, for best drama series and best new series; and “Louie,” a fictionalized series starring the comedian Louis CK, for best comedy series (written by Louis CK and Pamela Adlon) and best episodic comedy.

Question: What museum hosts the Cabaret Cinema series?

Consequences (through Friday) Truth be told, this overarching theme for the Rubin Museum of Art’s Cabaret Cinema series is fairly accommodating. With the occasional exception of the Coen brothers at their most fatalistic, what other filmmaker would claim that his or her onscreen actions have no reactions? Still, the museum (which has an accompanying series of public talks about karma) has assembled some fairly instructive examples. The series wraps up this Friday with “Prince of the Himalayas.” At 9:30 p.m., 150 West 17th Street, Chelsea, 212-620-5000, rubinmuseum.org. (Grode)

Question: Who is noted in the article as a key veteran player for the Timberwolves?

Towns’s confidence was on full display. After he connected on a 17-foot jump shot toward the end of regulation, he bowed for the crowd. His night was punctuated by four interviews: one on the court with the in-house announcer, another with the local television broadcast team, a third with NBA TV (during which he did a solid impression of Shaquille O’Neal, one of the hosts) and finally a small news conference for reporters in front of his locker. Karl Towns, his father, waited outside. He said he was extremely proud of his son, except for his two missed free throws. “He owes me 10 push-ups, and he knows it,” Karl Towns said. As the Timberwolves continue to search for an offensive rhythm, Ricky Rubio, now one of the team’s more experienced players, said he was getting a better feel for where and when Karl-Anthony Towns wanted the ball. Rubio declined to offer specifics.

Question: Who is the male lead of "Machine-Gun Kelly"?

American International Pictures, Part 2 (through Sunday) Anthology Film Archives continues its tribute to the influential, no-budget production house American International Pictures, where the movies’ titles and posters often got hashed out before the scripts were written. The subtitle for this 13-film retrospective is “Bikers, Drugs and Rock ‘n’ Roll,” and an impressive number of the titles manage to check all three of those boxes. Two films with a more narrow focus are the chintzy hostage melodrama “Rock All Night,” with its marvelous tagline “Some Have to Dance … Some Have to Kill!,” and “Machine-Gun Kelly,” starring Charles Bronson. No fewer than seven of Anthology’s offerings come from Roger Corman, who directed and/or produced some 40 films for the company in 15 years — and even worked as an (uncredited) stunt driver on one of them. 32-34 Second Avenue, at Second Street, East Village, 212-505-5181, anthologyfilmarchives.org.

Question: If you listen with half an ear how do the words sound combined?

There’s probably not one you haven’t heard before. If you listen with half an ear, they sound, in combination, like the ordinary sentences you overhear every day. Listen more carefully, though, as these words are assembled into the exacting forms of declensions and syllogisms, or quaint questions and answers that suggest foreign language phrase books for travelers. Why, it’s all gobbledygook. Except that something kind of wonderful has happened. These very pedestrian words seem to have sprouted wings, and resonate with surprising novelty. No wonder that the three people speaking them seem so delighted and perplexed. It’s as if they’d been born again as speakers of English.

Question: Who was unable to negotiate the passage of legislation relating to Australia's Medicare system?

Proposed university overhauls, widely disliked by voters, stalled in Parliament, and a paid parental leave plan and a co-payment for visits to the doctor covered by Australia’s Medicare system were either amended or dropped by the government, which could not negotiate the passage of the legislation.

You’ve no idea how powerful that is.”

Question: In what country are the top five banks in investment banking revenue located?

Mr. Jain and the bank’s other co-chief executive, Jürgen Fitschen, insisted on Monday that they are not retreating from the idea of a universal bank that offers a full range of banking services to individuals and business worldwide. And they reaffirmed their determination to be a force on Wall Street. But since the financial crisis, European investment banks have steadily lost market share to their United States rivals. In the first quarter, European banks accounted for 30 percent of global investment banking revenue, according to the data provider Dealogic. That was the lowest share since Dealogic began keeping track in 1995. Deutsche Bank ranks sixth worldwide measured by investment banking revenue. The top five are all based in the United States: JPMorgan, Goldman, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Citigroup. In the United States market alone, Deutsche Bank is a mere ninth among investment banks.

Question: was rabin seen in a nazi uniform?

Question: When did the Taliban rise?

Back in his home province of Jowzjan, Mr. Dostum turned his pink palace into a command center and announced that he was coordinating the war efforts there and in the neighboring provinces of Faryab and Sar-i-Pul. Local officials and militia commanders, many of them with fully armed forces despite a costly disarmament campaign, began rallying to his call. Mr. Dostum’s actions have been publicized here as the bravery of a battle-hardened general. But in what is supposed to be a year that tests the ability of the Afghan security forces to fend off enemy threats on their own, his moves have also raised a serious question: Amid a territory-gobbling insurgent offensive, will the strongmen and former warlords prominent in the Afghan government honor the national security system, or will they remobilize militias that in the 1990s caused the chaos that gave rise to the Taliban in the first place?

Question: What did the government say about the soliders that were marching?

BEIRUT, Lebanon — Scores of Syrian government soldiers and civilians besieged by insurgents for nearly a month in a hospital in northern Syria fled on Friday in a dramatic exit that both the army and its opponents promptly claimed as a victory. Videos posted by each side showed lines of uniformed soldiers trotting away across a field as what sounded like rifle and artillery fire echoed in the background; the government claimed that they reached safety, while insurgents claimed that many were killed or captured.

Question: How old was Dmitri?

Ukrainians greeted the news with much the same skepticism as the experts, though mingled with relief. “We had a cease-fire before, but it was not observed, almost from the beginning, so how can we have much faith?” said Dmitri Kolesnik, 18, a student in Kharkiv, a city in southeastern Ukraine that has been touched sporadically by violence. He paused on the steps leading down to a subway station, and said he put the odds of peace at no better than 50-50. “Putin is a very aggressive person,” Mr. Kolesnik said, as bustling throngs made their way home in the late afternoon. “You cannot always trust that just because he says something that it will happen.”

Question: What was the price that represented the first "art boom" prices?

“In the old days you had a small market. Now globalization is a huge factor,” said James Roundell, a director at the London and New York dealer and adviser Dickinson, who, while working at Christie’s in 1987, represented the winning Japanese telephone bidder for Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers.” That $39.9 million was the first of the modern “art boom“ prices. “There’s a lot of fashion involved, and people are buying for show,” Mr. Roundell said. “I’m not sure that many of them are buying for the love of the object. For some, particularly wealthy Americans, it’s all about playing the market. Back in the early 20th century, collectors would buy a painting, live with it in their own home and leave it to a museum. Now it’s about acquisition, not collecting.”

Question: What kind of story is the story of Alexander, Napoleon and Josephine?

“It’s a love story, a children’s book and a fairy tale at once,” Mr. Mosterd said. “Josephine is a lady who comes from Martinique and who makes the most wonderful career ever. She and Napoleon are both self-made people. Alexander is born with a golden spoon in his mouth and has never met self-made people. But he is totally impressed with both of them; these are real friendships. Even Napoleon writes to Josephine, after he met Alexander the first time, ‘that Tsar is handsome and blond and athletic, and if I was a lady, I would be attracted to him.”’

Question: About how many visitors has the musuem had already?

Aficionados of lowbrow aesthetics are also heading to Glòries, thanks to the arresting Encants Barcelona, the new home for the area’s historic flea market — a ramped space, open on the sides, with slender columns supporting an angular reflective metal canopy. Since the market moved here in 2013, it’s been drawing 120,000 antiques- and junk-seekers a week to early morning auctions and the stalls that open directly after the last lot has sold. Ironically, the building housing the Barcelona Design Museum — a squat, zinc-clad structure with front and rear cantilevers — hasn’t exactly been celebrated for its exterior form. Some have taken to calling it “the Stapler.” The museum, which unites collections of Catalan decorative arts, graphics, ceramics, textiles and fashion that previously had been scattered throughout the city, was originally to be the building’s sole occupant. But in an effort to make use of its vast interior spaces — and lure people to what is still considered an off-the-beaten-path area — municipal leaders also moved the city’s major design organizations here and named the whole enterprise Design Hub Barcelona, or DHUB, hoping it truly would become a hotbed of design activity. Today, while design professionals show up for events in the building, museum-goers make their way through exhibits that sprawl on four floors, displaying everything from corsets to cruets. The museum, which charges a 5-euro ($5.35) general admission fee, has already drawn about 204,000 visitors. While its holdings may never achieve the popularity of the offerings at the flea market next door, the institution is already helping attract traffic — foot traffic — to the Glòries area. “In the future Glòries will be a place not for cars, but for people,” said Isabel Roig, executive director of Barcelona Design Center, a trade group and one of DHUB’s new tenants.

Question: How soon was a second date planned?

“He knew the menu, so he took charge with the ordering, but not in an arrogant, controlling way,” she said. “He was very polite, and I thought to myself that unless I find out that this guy is totally crazy, he’s the perfect guy for me.” Mr. Kaba found Ms. Dawson to be very engaging and always smiling. “She made me feel very comfortable,” he said. So they planned a second date a few days later, at the driving range at Chelsea Piers, where they shared their first kiss. “I’m an average golfer, but she didn’t know how to play the game at all, so I looked even better in her eyes,” Mr. Kaba said.

Question: What is another ethnic group pushing for their own province?

The police opened fire after ethnic Madhesi protesters tried to set fire to government buildings, said Dipak Kaphle, a top functionary in the district of Mahottari, southeast of Kathmandu. A police official, Saurav Rana, said three of the deaths occurred in the town of Jaleswor after thousands of protesters with sticks and stones attacked officers, according to news agency reports. Since Aug. 10, 34 people have died in protests, including 10 police officials and a 2-year-old child, according to Nepal’s Ministry of Home Affairs. The Madhesis oppose the way provinces are being demarcated in the draft constitution and hope for new boundaries that will allow them to form majorities in two provinces. Another ethnic group, the Tharus, are pushing for their own province. Schools, markets and workplaces have been closed for nearly a month amid a general strike in much of the region. The country’s three major parties and Prime Minister Sushil Koirala have vowed to proceed with drafting the new constitution.

Question: Which religion had  the highest number of members in the author's city?

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how Tarcisius might have gotten away unscathed. Maybe by pretending to have a sore throat? It seemed important to identify the best strategy, because some modern-day version of the Huns or pagan Romans could arrive at any minute. Catholicism was, as I learned after the Pius XII incident, the largest faith in my city. Many of our teachers were probably only a generation away from being picked-on immigrants, and maybe they brought their sense of paranoia with them to the classrooms. That’s understandable, but being both the powerful majority and the persecuted minority is like having your cake and eating it, and then taking over the bakery and bolting the front door. This brings us back to Pope Francis, a humble man who accepts that he’s very powerful. He may have a little car and a modest home, but when he looks out at the world, his gaze isn’t defensive. He wants Catholicism to thrive — on a planet without global warming. He knows there are places where Catholics are suffering terribly for their faith, but when he looks at an embattled flock, he also sees Muslim immigrants who need Christian countries to open their borders.

Question: Who were the private interviews with?

Earlier in the week, word leaked out that during private interviews with team staff members, Eichel had told the Sabres that he was the best player in the draft. “I’m pretty confident in my own abilities,” Eichel said when asked about it. “I know everyone is making a big deal that I said a comment like that. That wasn’t me comparing myself to Connor or anything like that. It was just me thinking I’m the best player in the draft, more confidence in my own self. I didn’t think it was a big deal.

Question: Who captured a military post?

The scene unfolded almost a month after President Bashar al-Assad, in a rare public speech, had vowed to send reinforcements to rescue the holdouts, declaring, “The army will arrive soon to these heroes.” Afterward, insurgents, including members of the Nusra Front, which is affiliated with Al Qaeda, captured the gutted hospital, completing their takeover of the town of Jisr al-Shoughour, a crucial location on the road from the mostly insurgent-held province of Idlib toward the government’s strongholds on the coast. The loss of the hospital came two days after Islamic State militants drove government forces out of the desert town of Palmyra in central Syria in a lightning attack that has shocked the country. In addition, on Friday, the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS or ISIL, seized a military outpost near Palmyra, after its takeover on Thursday of a border crossing between Syria and Iraq farther east.

Question: With what condition did Dr. Mapstone diagnose Sandy?

The next month, Sandy’s husband, Daryl, from whom she had been amicably separated for 15 years, drove her from Ithaca to the University of Rochester Medical Center for cognitive testing by a neuropsychologist named Mark Mapstone. Mapstone showed Sandy a line drawing and asked her to copy it, and then to draw it from memory 10 minutes later. He read her a list of words and had her recall as many as she could. He gave her two numbers and two letters and asked her to rearrange them in a particular order: low letter, high letter, low number, high number. Thank goodness that last one wasn’t timed, she thought to herself, as she focused all her mental energy on the task. She felt as gleeful as a kid who had earned a gold star when Mapstone said, “Yes, that’s right.” After three hours, Mapstone gave a preliminary diagnosis: amnestic mild cognitive impairment. At first Sandy was relieved — he had said mild, hadn’t he? — but then she caught the look on his face. This is not a good thing, Mapstone told her gently; most cases of amnestic M.C.I. progress to full-blown Alzheimer’s disease within 10 years. When Sandy went back to the waiting room to meet Daryl, she was weeping uncontrollably. Between sobs, she explained the diagnosis and the inevitable decline on the horizon. She felt terror at the prospect of becoming a hollowed-out person with no memory, mind or sense of identity, as well as fury that she was powerless to do anything but endure it. With Alzheimer’s disease, she would write, it is “extraordinarily difficult for one’s body to die in tandem with the death of one’s self.” That day at Mapstone’s office, she vowed that she would figure out a way to take her own life before the disease took it from her. Later that month, Sandy sat down in her upstairs study — painted a rich burgundy, as the rest of the house was, to make the sprawling old place feel cozy — and looked at her Mac desktop computer screen. She had some trepidation about her plan to keep a journal of her own deterioration. But she opened a new document, gave it a file name — “Memoir” — and began to type. She tried to describe the maddening capriciousness of “a mind that could be so alive one moment with thought and feeling building toward a next step and then someone erases the blackboard. It’s all gone and I can’t even reconstruct what the topic was. It’s just gone. And I sit with the dark, the blank.”

Answer: amnestic mild cognitive impairment

The next month, Sandy’s husband, Daryl, from whom she had been amicably separated for 15 years, drove her from Ithaca to the University of Rochester Medical Center for cognitive testing by a neuropsychologist named Mark Mapstone. Mapstone showed Sandy a line drawing and asked her to copy it, and then to draw it from memory 10 minutes later. He read her a list of words and had her recall as many as she could. He gave her two numbers and two letters and asked her to rearrange them in a particular order: low letter, high letter, low number, high number. Thank goodness that last one wasn’t timed, she thought to herself, as she focused all her mental energy on the task. She felt as gleeful as a kid who had earned a gold star when Mapstone said, “Yes, that’s right.” <hl> After three hours, Mapstone gave a preliminary diagnosis: amnestic mild cognitive impairment . <hl> At first Sandy was relieved — he had said mild, hadn’t he? — but then she caught the look on his face. This is not a good thing, Mapstone told her gently; most cases of amnestic M.C.I. progress to full-blown Alzheimer’s disease within 10 years.

Question: What does Nagraj Kashyap say about the topic?

The argument on the other side boils down to a simple notion: Drivers are going to do it anyway, so why not minimize the riskiest kinds of multitasking, like looking down at the phone or handling it? People use their phones too compulsively to expect them to stop, said Nagraj Kashyap, senior vice president for ventures and innovation at Qualcomm Ventures, an investing arm of the telecom giant, which recently injected $3 million into Navdy. “To completely eliminate it is a pipe dream,” Mr. Kashyap said of motorist multitasking. “The best way to handle it is to make it as safe as you can.”

Question: Where does Tim find the rusty gun and the possibly human bone?

To say that their marriage is in trouble would be an exaggeration, but there are tiny cracks in it through which trouble might enter. They spend most of the movie apart. Lee drops Jude off at his grandparents’ house so she can spend a night out with friends. Tim stays behind and involves himself in a bizarre project. He has unearthed a rusty gun and a possibly human bone from a patch of dirt on the far side of the swimming pool, and over the next 24 hours his curiosity blossoms into obsession. He becomes an amateur detective and forensic archaeologist, and also, without quite realizing it, a man digging himself ever deeper into an existential hole. But in the meantime, he has some fun. A few pals show up to drink beer, swim and wield shovels. One (Mike Birbiglia) is the uptight guy. Another (Sam Rockwell) is the party guy, who brings cocaine, unattached women and an even wilder buddy (Mr. Messina).

Question: Who are more likely to struggle in new neighborhoods?

There is also evidence that older children, particularly boys, often struggle in new neighborhoods. The costs of the move can outweigh the benefits of the new place. Ms. White says those issues are real enough but nothing compared with the feeling that she and her family are now safe. She was tired of stepping over the dice players on her stoop, tired of guiding her children around the fragments of broken bottles at the old housing project, which Ms. Russ, the head of the Dallas Housing Authority, called the most dangerous in the city. When she moved, she changed her cellphone number, cutting off her old friends.

Question: Who just exchanged vows with his longtime boyfriend?

None of the businesses facing sanctions are saying they wouldn’t serve gay people as a class; they just don’t want to work at nuptials. This isn’t a structural system of oppression, a society-wide conspiracy like Jim Crow; we’re talking about a handful of shops across the country. It seems possible, and reasonable, to live and let live. I think discrimination is discrimination. What about you? Would you bake the cake?  Honestly, since so many of my friends aren’t religious or conservative, I’ve always taken for granted that being part of their lives meant accompanying them through life choices that belong to a different worldview than my own. (And I’m very grateful that they’ve accompanied and tolerated me.) My family has its share of divorces and second marriages; my friends’ romantic paths are varied; my closest friend from high school just exchanged vows with his longtime boyfriend. I’m going to a party celebrating them next month. If they asked me, I’d bring a cake.

Question: What was the scandal regarding cheating about?

While Mr. Hatz was referring to carbon dioxide regulations, and Volkswagen’s cheating scandal is centered on smog-forming pollutants, managing both kinds of emissions presents an interlocking puzzle for automakers. At times, Mr. Hatz could sound defeatist. “Perhaps we have just small Korean and Japanese cars in this country,” he said. “We have to be realistic.” And he was dismissive of the prospects for the big Detroit automakers. “I cannot see a way with their program that they can fulfill these regulations,” he said. “There’s no way.” At the time, California regulators, along with regulators in Washington, already had rules in place for emissions of nitrogen oxides and other smog-forming pollutants that were the toughest in the world, and California was also proposing to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from cars. While diesels have better fuel economy and, by extension, lower emissions of global warming gases, they have higher emissions of nitrogen oxides and other smog-forming pollutants that require special treatment systems. The company was plunged into an internal struggle about how to proceed. Wolfgang Bernhard, a former Daimler executive who ran the Volkswagen brand, had championed a technology-sharing agreement with Mercedes-Benz and BMW to jointly develop a system using urea, which neutralizes nitrogen oxides. Publicly, Mr. Hatz supported the technology, which Mercedes markets as Bluetec.

Question: What were two issues concerning the National Football League?

No, it was the Super Bowl’s turn. This was true despite the fact that many a non-American struggles to understand the rules and appeal of the country’s favorite diversion. This was also true despite the stiff headwinds facing the National Football League: the dead-serious concerns about head trauma and domestic violence, and the less-weighty obsession with whether Tom Brady and the New England Patriots were responsible for deflating footballs earlier in the playoffs in search of an unfair advantage. Deflategate (the French daily Le Monde called it “Le Deflategate”) dominated the build-up to the Super Bowl, and then dominated the off-season, too, with Brady initially suspended for four games before that ruling was overturned by a federal judge.

Question: Who is Mario Santoyo?

As the state considers its options, many farmers want to revive the approach that worked for them in the last century: building dams. Not far from this tiny hamlet northeast of Fresno, for instance, the government is thinking of building a new artificial lake just above an existing one. “We’re in a critical condition right now,” said Mario Santoyo, a board member and technical adviser for the California Latino Water Coalition, as he stood on the deck of a motorboat in the middle of Millerton Lake, built in 1942. He pointed to a spot called Temperance Flat, where the new dam — it would be the latest of many on the San Joaquin River — would be built.

Question: How must channel swimmer begin?

Stewart stayed in water waist deep as Jirkovsky emerged from the sea at Cissy Cove, greeted by three sailors, all armed. Channel swimmers must begin “toes dry,” and Jirkovsky took several steps beyond the tide line to make sure the swim would qualify. Then he placed his goggles over his eyes, jogged back toward the sea and began to swim. The sailors honked horns and flashed blue and red lights in salute. The captain of the Bottom Scratcher sounded her horn, too, and the Deep Enders and their support team cheered. If all went according to plan, within 36 hours, they would make open-water swimming history.
