Question: How does the wind blow at TD Ameritrade?

The offensive downturn alarmed coaches nationwide, although the bat was not the only reason. Rosenblatt was built on a hill, and the prevailing wind blew out. At TD Ameritrade, the wind often blows in, knocking down well-hit balls in the alleys and straightaway center. Minnesota Coach John Anderson, who pushed for the new standard while serving on the N.C.A.A. Division I baseball committee, wished it had had more time to study its effects before the stadium opened. “We would have designed the stadium with shorter dimensions in left-center, center and right-center,” Anderson said. The power falloff was not limited to Omaha. Regular-season home runs per game last year sank to 0.39, the lowest since the N.C.A.A. began keeping records. Bold outfielders with the speed to run down balls over their heads played shallower, cutting off singles and reducing scoring further. “For a few years, the field was playing like a softball field,” said Coach Rick Vanderhook of California State Fullerton. “When you’ve got good athletes, they can cover the whole softball field. Hits were at a premium.” The seam height on the new ball, though only 0.015 of an inch less than that of the old one, is enough to cause a significant reduction in drag. The Washington State University Sport Science Laboratory, which specializes in bat and ball dynamics, found that the lower-seamed ball flew about 20 feet farther on average in 2013 testing. Performance suggests the change achieved its objective. Regular-season home runs rose to 0.58 per game, according to the N.C.A.A. Teams combined for 135 home runs in N.C.A.A. regional and super-regional play, or 0.56 per game, a jump of more than one-third over last season (84, 0.34 per game).

Question: How many samples of photographs did the writer look at?

The photograph that Markisha McClenton posted on Instagram is a self-portrait, a close-up that is muted in dim light. She might be on her way to work. She might be coming home. Her workdays begin and end in the dark, and they are dark in between. She’s a lab technician in Jacksonville, Fla. Her specialty is blood. She has worked these dark hours since her son was 7. “Freedom,” she told me over the phone from her lab. That’s why she works these hours: The freedom to work at night and to raise her children during the days. To her, this is good fortune. She is smiling in this photo. But her eyes are midnight eyes, 3 a.m. eyes. Why take a photo at that hour? “People forget about us, the night shift,” she said. The #nightshift. That’s the hashtag she used. It’s how I found her. I’ve been working at night myself for a long time now. Once it was out of choice, a preference for the quiet hours. More recently it was because I had no choice. Insomnia. One night, I was drinking my third cup of coffee — because when you can’t sleep, you might as well stop trying — and ignoring the deadline looming the next morning. Instead, I stared at the matrix on my phone, my own red eyes scanning a tiny sample of some 670,000 photographs under #nightshift. Most of them were people like me, awake when they didn’t want to be awake. And like me, they were looking at the screen in their hands, held up by the one in mine.

Answer: 670,000

Question: Did the judge accept or reject the prosecution's argument that Mr. Hincapie could have called the witnesses in the previous trial?

The judge also rejected the prosecution’s argument that Mr. Hincapie could have called the witnesses at his first trial and chose not to. The judge noted Ms. Santana had come forward only this year after reading news accounts of the hearing, while Mr. Montero and Mr. Anderson had legal reasons in 1990 for not making themselves available to testify. He said the case law regarding setting aside a verdict did not require all of the witnesses to be newly discovered, only that their statements be discovered after the trial.

Question: What does the speaker welcome

Ross Douthat has a serious argument. Catholicism is not the religion of health and wealth but a commitment to the “narrow gate” that leads to eternal life. Do credentials necessarily mean truth and common sense? My Irish grandmother, who completed third grade, had a more accurate understanding of the “sense of the faithful” than many of the agenda-driven academics I have met. Experience in the streets does teach a level of reality that I embrace after 67 years as a priest and more than 40 years as a licensed psychologist. At 94, I welcome confrontational thinking.

Question: Andrew how was the winner of the Silver medal in what year?

The Italian Olympic Committee requested two-year doping bans for 26 track and field athletes — several of whom were expected to compete at next year’s Rio de Janeiro Games. The list includes Fabrizio Donato, the bronze medalist in triple jump at the 2012 London Olympics, and Andrew Howe, the silver medalist in long jump at the 2007 world championships. All 26 are accused of evading doping tests, but they maintain there was an administrative error. They will face trials at the committee’s antidoping court, with decisions expected sometime next year. Five of the 26 had already qualified for the Rio Games; about 10 have retired.

Question: Where was The Legend of Pale Male filmed?

A red-tailed hawk named Pale Male became a celebrity after starring in a film, “The Legend of Pale Male,” that opened at the Angelika Film Center in Greenwich Village in 2010. And one raccoon in Central Park is so well known that he goes by a single name – Rocky – a rarefied status typically afforded to superstars like Madonna or Cher. Unlike hawks and raccoons, however, alligators are not native to New York. Ms. Silver suggested that CockadoodleQ may have at one point been a pet, and in her statement she reminded New Yorkers that it is illegal to keep alligators and other exotic animals as house pets in the city.

Question: What was Ms. Mitchell accused of?

The investigation, and a review of the corrections agency’s policies and procedures at Clinton by the office of the state inspector general, Catherine Leahy Scott, is continuing. Mr. Sweat’s account, along with interviews of corrections officers and prison officials, documents and reviews of other evidence, will no doubt play a significant role in determining what went wrong at the prison and within the culture of the agency. An initial investigation led to the arrest of Ms. Mitchell. The charges, brought by the Clinton County district attorney, Andrew M. Wylie, accused her of smuggling hacksaw blades, chisels and other tools into the prison. The superintendent at Clinton, two senior members of his staff and nine correction officers were also placed on administrative leave, according to prison agency officials, who said the superintendent was expected to retire at the end of July.

Question: How many people were killed when a train  plowed into a sport-utility?

The Midland crossing has been the site of 29 accidents since 1975, according to the railroad agency’s data. Two people have been killed and six more injured. The Metro-North Railroad crash last week, in which six people were killed when a train plowed into a sport-utility vehicle at a grade crossing in Westchester County, N.Y., cast renewed attention on the constantly lurking danger posed by the mixing of cars, trains and human nature at the tens of thousands of rail crossings across the country. Over the last week, reporters for The New York Times visited the 10 crossings that the railroad administration’s accident-prediction algorithm deems the most likely sites for crashes in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut — to examine their configurations and talk to people about the safety concerns.

Question: What type of device do most people use the internet on?

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 percent increase did Credit Agricole observe in net income from this year to last?

PARIS — Crédit Agricole and Société Générale, two of France’s largest banks, reported higher third-quarter profits on Thursday as their retail divisions posted improved results. Crédit Agricole, which ranks second only to BNP Paribas among French lenders in terms of assets, posted net income of 930 million euros, about $1 billion, for the three months from July through September, an increase of 15 percent from a year earlier. Its revenue slipped 2 percent to €3.9 billion, it said, though it noted that the figure was broadly stable after accounting for a revaluation of its own debt, loan hedges and other items. It said most business lines had improved, particularly domestic and international retail banking.

Question: What is the run time of Meet the Patels?

‘Love’ (No rating, 2:14) Telling the story of a romance entirely through explicit sex, the Argentine director Gaspar Noé creates a visual tranquillity and dreamy eroticism that strips the film of salaciousness and highlights the only conversation it cares about: The one that runs from between the legs to between the ears. (Catsoulis) ★ ‘The Martian’ (PG-13, 2:21) Matt Damon stars in Ridley Scott’s space western and blissed-out cosmic high about an American astronaut who, like a latter-day Robinson Crusoe, learns to survive on his own island of despair. Funny, loose and optimistic. (Dargis) ‘Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials’ (PG-13, 2:11) The second in a series about a racially diverse but otherwise interchangeable set of teenagers adds nothing new to the unkillable dystopian genre, but it’s at least less ponderous than its predecessor. The many chases and ludicrous narrow escapes offer respectable doses of adrenaline. (John Williams) ‘Meet the Patels’ (PG, 1:28) This tidy, easygoing documentary — about the efforts of Indian-born parents to marry off their prosperous son (the actor Ravi Patel) through assorted matchmaking means — is a fascinating, good-humored and sometimes dramatic examination of family dynamics. Though Mr. Patel is on camera most often (shot by his wry, understated foil, sister and co-director, Geeta), it’s his parents and the barely seen Geeta who prove most compelling. (Webster)

Question: Which institution conducted the China Household Finance Survey?

Credit Suisse estimated in a research note this week that 80 percent of urban Chinese households held stakes in the stock market, either directly or through equity funds that invest in it. By midway through this year, 8.8 percent of all Chinese households had bought stocks directly, and the vast majority were urban dwellers, according to the China Household Finance Survey, conducted by the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in Chengdu. Under Mr. Xi, the government has urged households to invest in the stock market to meet several economic imperatives: to generate more capital for state-run companies being weaned off bank loans, to strengthen the private companies that create many of the country’s jobs, and to lift the confidence of consumers so that they will play a bigger role in driving economic growth.

Question: What could be sold independently of the house?

As for pricing the house, Ms. Goldberg said the loftlike open spaces, abundant light, pair of parking spots and capacious elevator all contribute to its appeal. “There’s nothing else like it,” she said. “Between its size and airiness, the extravagance of the renovation and the beauty of the garden seen through the two window walls, it is truly a serenely special home and art studio. It would be wonderful if another artist bought it. Of course, the garden lot could also be sold separately, but that would be tragic.”

Question: Was there turnout on Saturday when the results were announced?

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

Question: What sort of games did Ms. Kushner plan?

“I really loved the idea of a healthy weekend: high-end, but low-fat cuisine, fitness classes, treatments,” Ms. Kushner said. The event coordinator planned nostalgic playground games (ring toss, jumping rope) in a lighthearted but competitive style. “My friends were so surprised by how much fun they had,” she said. The notion that Big Brother is watching from the web, along with the eyes of corporate America, is a reality that is also bearing down on millennials and others who are holding down jobs and are expected to perform in them. As enticing and addictive as Facebook and Instagram have become, there’s also a pushback from those wanting to remain faceless and nameless. For these folks, being caught in compromising photographs in a posting on someone’s page that they didn’t O.K. is no longer acceptable.

Question: What company is testing saliva samples for the new sking care regimen?

LONDON — What’s being billed as the future of skin care starts suspiciously like a visit to the dentist: with a mouthwash gargle. That’s to eliminate debris that may interfere with a good saliva sample, from which DNA will be extracted and serums tailored to one’s genetic blueprint. The test is from a company called GeneU (pronounced “gene you”) and performed at its nine-month-old shop on New Bond Street, which looks like a cross between a science fiction movie set and a silver-gray-and-red-dipped Apple store — perhaps fittingly, because the DNA test is done by a flash-drive-size microchip. It’s administered by one of a handful of improbably dewy-skinned beauties who also happen to have Ph.D.s. Unlike other DNA tests, which are sent to labs and take at least two weeks to complete, GeneU’s in-store test is done in 30 minutes. Currently, it looks only at variations in two genes: one that contains instructions for how fast your body degrades collagen and the other for antioxidant protection.

Question: What did Joan Shelley devote much of her set to?

Although “Electric Ursa” was released just last September, Ms. Shelley devoted much of her set to new songs that were no less resonant and, perhaps, a little more concrete. One, with a melody that would have suited the Carter Family, captured the moment in a breakup when the thought of freedom balances a sense of loss. In that song, and throughout the set, she was open yet composed, never pushing or overplaying the music; she let the songs speak for themselves. With its quiet purity, the music held the club audience rapt.

Question: Who is the Chief Marketing Officer of Anthropologie?

About 90 million Americans make purchases from catalogs, according to the Direct Marketing Association; nearly 60 percent of them are women. Consumers who receive catalogs spend an average of $850 annually on catalog purchases, according to the American Catalog Mailers Association.

Question: In what bracket did Noshikori compete with Wawrinka in last years United States Open?

He added: “I had the wind with me, so it was not easy to make a drop shot, especially at that moment. No, it was a crazy tiebreak, but good tiebreak. Good to finish in three sets.” After his run to the final of the United States Open last year, which included a five-set win over Wawrinka in the quarterfinals, Nishikori was expected by many to move one step further at this tournament. Still, he said, reaching the last eight of this tournament was a strong result. “It’s not easy,” he said of making a Grand Slam quarterfinal, adding: “I have to keep doing this. I mean, I could be better. But you know, I think I need, kind of, this experience, playing tough all the time, playing a lot of matches.” Wawrinka said he believed his play was even better than it was here last year, when he beat Djokovic and Rafael Nadal en route to his first major title. “But I think we all improve every year,” Wawrinka said. “I’m more aggressive. I’m more confident with my game when I come to the net.

Question: mayor bill de Blasio's housing plan is set to take how long to finish?

Mayor Bill de Blasio is calling for an overhaul of housing programs and tax incentives to spur the construction of tens of thousands of apartments for poor New Yorkers, as well as teachers, firefighters and other workers, who increasingly find themselves priced out of a booming real estate market and rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods. The proposals, which would require approval by the State Legislature, are central to the mayor’s promise to build or preserve 200,000 units of affordable housing over 10 years.

Question: When did Mr. Kohlberg start working at Bear Stearns?

Mr. Kohlberg rose through the ranks of the investment bank Bear Stearns, where he started working in 1955. But he and two younger men whom he had mentored, Henry R. Kravis and George R. Roberts, eventually left in 1976 to form a new investment firm bearing their names. Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Company became a major force that set the tone for the buyout industry, particularly after it took over the tobacco and food conglomerate R.J.R. Nabisco — the deal made famous in the book “Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco,” by Bryan Burrough and John Helyar, although Mr. Kohlberg left the firm a year before the deal was completed.

Question: What does Liz think about the Countess?

At the beginning of the season we discussed how a hotel makes for a natural horror setting Hidden staircases, strangers coming and going, messes made and erased. Liz Taylor, our stylish concierge and bar tender, has seen it all, but what touches her most is an old couple come to the Cortez to end their lives together. Elegant in her cheongsam, the score remarkably similar to Shigeru Umebayashi’s “Yumeji’s Theme,” best known for its use in Wong Kar Wai’s luxurious film “In the Mood For Love,” Liz decides she’s had enough. “I feel like I’ll never be happy again,” she said. “I pretend that I’m O.K. living in a world without Tristan, but it’s... It’s been difficult. Besides, knowing the Countess, it’s just a matter of time before she slits my throat.” Liz isn’t the only one who wants out; even vampire Iris has had enough: “Donovan was my one true love. I thought when he brought me back from the brink of death, it was because he loved me. He doesn’t love me. He never will.” But while the indifference of Iris’s son is driving her to death, Liz’s son, whom she left behind, is the reason their death pact has to wait. Like in other seasons, the mythology of “Hotel” is fairly standard: unfinished business means ghosts will be trapped wherever they died.

Question: Who is Mr. Sacca in relation to Twitter?

Asked whether the mostly male culture of Silicon Valley is likely to change, Mr. Sacca, one of Twitter’s major investors, said, “It’s changing, slowly. The numbers are really clear. Companies are almost entirely run by white guys. The boards are almost entirely white guys.” And yet, he said: “Look at the user base of Twitter. You have black users overindexed to Twitter, and yet we don’t have any representation of that audience in the upper management or the board of that company, and that’s just weird. We’re guiding things for an audience we can’t address.”

Companies are almost entirely run by white guys. The boards are almost entirely white guys.” And yet, he said: “Look at the user base of Twitter. You have black users overindexed to Twitter, and yet we don’t have any representation of that audience in the upper management or the board of that company, and that’s just weird. We’re guiding things for an audience we can’t address.”

Question: Why do criminals use another person's social security number?

Last week’s suspension of some electronic state tax filings because of a sudden increase in fraudulent returns highlights the need for consumers to track potential misuse of their personal information, especially at tax time. In tax-refund fraud, criminals file a tax return using someone else’s Social Security number to collect a refund. Taxpayers often learn of the fraud when they file a legitimate return, only to find one has already been processed in their name. It can take weeks or months before the situation is resolved and taxpayers receive their rightful refund.

Answer: to collect a refund

Question: What game were the rangers preparing for?

He went to the corner, along with Cam Talbot, his backup, and the two of them started shuffling, sliding in place, reacting to invisible pucks. Then he and Talbot took turns in net as a staff member fired shots from close range and different angles. Practice had not officially started, but Lundqvist was working up a sweat. This is the way he starts most every practice, though. The Rangers were preparing to play Game 7 of their second-round playoff series against the Washington Capitals, set for Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden, and Lundqvist was acting as if it were any other game. “My preparation has stayed the same for years,” Lundqvist said afterward. “I don’t change anything when the games get more important. I like consistency. I try to stick with the same approach.” It is hard to argue with him. Lundqvist has won 13 of his last 16 games in which the Rangers have faced elimination, posting a 1.42 goals-against average, a .955 save percentage and two shutouts. He is undefeated in his last nine elimination games at the Garden and owns a 5-1 career record in Game 7s.

Question: What is the name of the common stock with bets prospects?

Moreover, editorials in China’s state-run news media celebrated the rising indexes as affirmation of Mr. Xi’s recipe for national strength: a measured easing of state controls on the economy while keeping political power firmly in the hands of the party elite. Market adulation reached its peak in April, when a commentary on the website of People’s Daily, the party’s flagship newspaper, told readers the 4,000 point mark reached by the Shanghai Stock Exchange was “only the start of the bull market.” “What’s a bubble? Tulips and Bitcoins are bubbles,” the author, Wang Ruoyu, wrote, scoffing at warnings that the Chinese stock markets were bound to burst. He expressed confidence in the long-term prospects of the common stocks known as A Shares traded on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges.

Question: What band created the songs that the Mets' players were singing?

“One of the things we tried to do here was make it fun to be here,” Collins said. “Therefore, we’ve tried to create an atmosphere in the clubhouse that’s fun.” The culture shift was evident early in the afternoon. Several Mets, led by Juan Uribe, were singing along to pop songs by the Backstreet Boys, the popular boy band from the late 1990s. The mood was the epitome of relaxed. While the Mets were keeping things light, local television and radio broadcasts in Philadelphia were full of speculation about retaliation after tensions flared during the Mets’ win on Tuesday, when Hansel Robles threw a pitch before a Phillies batter was ready. But the events from the night before were far from the thoughts of the Mets’ players. “We talked with Hansel today; you can’t react like he did,” Collins said, referring to Robles’s staring toward the Phillies’ dugout after an inning-ending strikeout. “The other guys, they haven’t even brought it up today.” With clear minds, the Mets emerged to score three runs in the first inning off the Phillies’ Jerad Eickhoff, a rookie.

Question: who is Mario Abou Zeid?

“This is a very important indication of how dysfunctional the government is and how incapable it is of dealing with the basic demands of the population,” said Mario Abou Zeid, a research analyst at the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut. Across the city, trash piles have consumed sidewalks and engulfed parked cars, leaving pedestrians holding their noses and retching as the sweet aromas of rotting food waft through residential areas. Parking and gas station attendants forced to work outside have donned medical masks to reduce the smell, and other residents have fled the city altogether.

Question: What's the name of the spinoff the author wants to see?

Best Thing That Could Come of This ShowFox has yet to decide whether “Scream Queens” will be renewed — the social media following has been great, but the ratings have been soft. Throw your own opinion in the comment section, but I’ve seen enough; what was occasionally cute and witty once would be hard-pressed to be either a second time. I do, however, want to see a spinoff show, “The Radwells Plus Eight.” In the second hour Tuesday we saw the overprivileged Chad and the daffy Denise, who had become lovers, decide to break up. These two were the best thing about this show; give them eight kids and put them in a sitcom.

Question: What was a close call?

Mr. McConnell said he thought it was telling that Mr. Cardin and Mr. Menendez, the two most senior Democrats on the Foreign Relations Committee, both opposed the deal. In an interview, Mr. Cardin said, “I recognize the numbers, believe me, I do,” sounding anguished about opposing Mr. Obama, whom he normally supports. “It was a close call, and I acknowledge it was a close call,” Mr. Cardin said. On the agreement, he said, “It allows Iran a legal path to have such a sophisticated enrichment program,” as well as “additional financial resources after sanction relief has been granted.”

Question: Which world-renowned charity group joined the program as a scientific consultant?

Unilever brought on the United Soybean Board and the Iowa Soybean Association, two trade groups, to give the program bona fides. The World Wildlife Fund signed up as a scientific consultant. Practical Farmers of Iowa, a nonprofit that focuses on farm ecology, joined in, as did Field to Market, an alliance of agricultural companies that has developed software to measure farming practices. This ad hoc coalition then began reaching out to Iowa farmers. The pitch to soybean growers is simple. By participating in the program, they receive an extra 10 cents a bushel of soybeans from ADM, have access to additional state subsidies for certain eco-friendly farming techniques and receive education about sustainability. Three years into the program, 250 farmers responsible for 285,000 acres have signed up. Mr. Sutter was initially reluctant to participate in the program, worried that data about his farm he was required to share might be obtained by big seed suppliers like Monsanto. But he ultimately joined.

Answer: the United States secretary of state

<hl> The Japanese ambassador, Hirosi Saito, who was planning to meet with the United States secretary of state “to take whatever action was possible to remedy the situation,” went on to explain that “while he fully comprehended that in this country, where caricatures of the highest public officials are every day fare in the press, no slight to the person of the Emperor was necessarily intended, yet in Japan a representation of the Emperor as engaged in the menial task of pulling a cart could not be understood or taken lightly.” <hl>

Question: what regional group is Texas Southern a part of?

Texas Southern, from the Southwestern Athletic Conference, represented a potential land mine for the Wildcats. Coach Mike Davis spent six seasons at Indiana, succeeding Bobby Knight, and led the Hoosiers to the national championship game in 2002. Davis created one of the most difficult nonconference schedules in the country, with road games against the likes of Gonzaga, Baylor, Florida and Indiana. Among a slew of experience-building losses were a couple of upsets in late December, at Kansas State and at Michigan State.
