Question: what country is deprived by Harris' departure?

“I played 27 more tests than I ever thought I would,” Harris said Saturday. “I relished every single moment of them.” His departure robs Australia of its one bowler who has proved effective in English conditions, as he was its leading wicket-taker in England in 2013. Harris, 35, was a subtle craftsmen among a clutch of flamethrowers, relying on control and variation. rather than sheer speed. His loss increases Australia’s likely reliance on its two fearsome left-armers, Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson, and it is also a reminder of one potential vulnerability of the defending champion — its age. Brad Haddin, the wicketkeeper, and Chris Rogers, an opening batsman, are both 37. Middle-order batsman Adam Voges is a 35-year-old test rookie. Johnson is 33, while captain Michael Clarke is 34 and has a history of back trouble. Much will depend on Clarke’s heir apparent as captain, Steve Smith. The 26-year-old was once regarded as a “bits and pieces” player who was not quite good enough in any of his roles, but he has developed into a batting specialist who now tops the world rankings.

Question: What did Mitch Pugh create?

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

Question: What kind of pitch did Joc Pederson strike out on?

Syndergaard appeared confident and collected early on. He struck out Jimmy Rollins twice — once swinging, on a 97-mile-per-hour fastball, and then looking, on a 99-m.p.h. fastball. He struck out Joc Pederson, another touted rookie, leaving him flailing at a curveball. He showed improved confidence in his off-speed pitches, using the Dodgers’ aggressiveness against them.

Question: Which cities started offering parental leave this year?

Three states — California, New Jersey and Rhode Island — offer paid family leave, and several cities, including Boston and Seattle this year, have begun offering parental leave to city employees. “We always knew that we need national standards, but historically in our country, workplace changes happen first at the state or local level,” said Ellen Bravo, executive director of Family Values @ Work, a network of groups pushing for paid leave.

Question: Who is Watson?

Watson, of the Pittsburgh Pirates, retired Abreu on a fly ball to left. But the move made little sense in baseball terms, if the goal of the All-Star Game is really to win and secure home-field advantage in the World Series for the victorious league. Matheny, the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, had already used four right-handed relievers and went against the percentages to a dangerous hitter. He got away with it, but the move illustrated the real priorities for those who manage and play in the All-Star Game. They want as many players as possible to participate, and they want to have fun.

BANGKOK — Myanmar’s election commission on Friday announced the final tally of the country’s Nov. 8 landmark election, a rout by the opposition, led by the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Her party, the National League for Democracy, won 390 seats compared with 42 for the governing party, a state-run television station reported in its Friday evening broadcast.

Question: Which site thinks Jason Schwartzman should play Jonathan Lamberton if a movie is made?

That would be Jonathan Lamberton, the mayor’s sign-language interpreter, whose arsenal of rapid gesticulations, vigorous frowns and mime-like smiles — a stark contrast to the mayor’s sober mien — raced around social media this week, earning equal parts awe and amusement. “That guy nailed it,” Jon Stewart declared on Tuesday’s “Daily Show,” which featured a compilation of Mr. Lamberton’s more theatrical moments. Dozens of websites deemed him a breakout star, and BuzzFeed suggested Jason Schwartzman, the hipster actor, could play him in a movie.

Question: What is the current reality television theme?

The film might have felt fresh and invigorating in, say, 1996. That’s when “Big Night,” a much-admired foodie movie, was released. In recent years, though, mercurial chefs, photogenic plates of grub and kitchen dramatics have been everywhere, especially reality television, both lowbrow and high-end. The food-as-art world has become a bit tiresome, except to those who live in it or can afford to eat this stuff five nights a week. And so pretty much everything in “Burnt,” which was directed by John Wells from a screenplay by Steven Knight and a story by Michael Kalesniko, is something we’ve seen before, though perhaps not so slickly rendered. Mr. Cooper plays Adam Jones, a hot chef in Paris until he flamed out, thanks to a self-destructive personality abetted by substance abuse. As the story begins in earnest, he has turned up in London, determined to make a new start and reclaim his culinary stature.

Question: what is the season high number of assists that Lebron James has attained?

Question: How long did it take for the train to come to a complete stop?

The train engineer applied the emergency brake, but the train did not come to a stop until almost 1,000 feet down the track, the car still pinned to its nose. Investigators’ findings on Thursday about track safety did little to illuminate the question of why a train-on-car collision put train passengers into such peril. Cars are struck by trains regularly across the country, according to Federal Railroad Administration records. Since 2006, there has been an average of 2,261 rail crossing accidents a year and an average of 273 deaths a year.

Question: Where did St. John's play?

St. John’s did what it had not been doing most of the season — shoot well and control the boards — and the Red Storm delighted the Madison Square Garden crowd in beating Syracuse, 84-72. The matchup on Sunday was the programs’ first since Jan. 19, 1977, in which Jim Boeheim was not coaching the Orange, a span of 63 games. This was the third game of his nine-game N.C.A.A. ban. The freshman Federico Mussini had 17 points, and four other players scored in double figures for the Red Storm (7-3), who won their third straight. The Orange had won nine of the previous 10 meetings; they lead the series by 51-39. St. John’s had not beaten Syracuse at the Garden since 2007. “This was the best win of my life in the world’s most famous arena,” Mussini said. “Nothing better than this.” Michael Gbinije’s 21 points led Syracuse (7-3), which has lost three of four. The Red Storm shot 30 of 61, including 12 of 24 from 3-point range, well above their season averages. Syracuse shot 5 of 26 from beyond the arc.

The Orange had won nine of the previous 10 meetings; they lead the series by 51-39. St. John’s had not beaten Syracuse at the Garden since 2007. “This was the best win of my life in the world’s most famous arena,” Mussini said. “Nothing better than this.” Michael Gbinije’s 21 points led Syracuse (7-3), which has lost three of four. The Red Storm shot 30 of 61, including 12 of 24 from 3-point range, well above their season averages. Syracuse shot 5 of 26 from beyond the arc.

St. John’s did what it had not been doing most of the season — shoot well and control the boards — and the Red Storm delighted the <hl> Madison Square Garden <hl> crowd in beating Syracuse, 84-72.

Question: What have House Republicans recently done?

We don’t yet know how Mr. Hall’s leadership will differ from Mr. Elmendorf’s but we do know that he will face a big challenge. House Republicans have recently changed the rules: The Congressional Budget Office and Joint Committee on Taxation are now required to use “dynamic scoring” when evaluating major changes in tax and spending policy. This is the can of worms that awaits Mr. Hall as he takes on his new job. Until now, conventional budget analysis has used a process called static scoring, which assumes that the path of gross domestic product remains the same when the government changes taxes or spending. This procedure has the virtues of simplicity and transparency.

Question: There are eight of what on the sides of the stage doing jumps?

The dancing is equally layered. When the six fairy godmothers arrive, there are passages in which they, their eight attendants and four of their cavaliers are all dancing at once, like three orchestral groups in harmony. (Two of the cavaliers don’t dance, so we also see how Petipa the classicist played number games with these choreographic groups of eight, six, four and two.) In Act I, when Princess Aurora’s maids of honor are dancing center stage, the eight violin pages, on the sides of the stage, are doing gargouillades — twinkling sideways jumps in which each foot writes a circle in the air.

Question: What is the name of the Russian diamond producer?

Estimates that diamond production will peak by the end of the decade, pushing prices higher, have their supporters and their critics. Most of the world’s diamonds come from a relative handful of mines in Africa, Canada, Russia and a few other places. Alrosa, a Russian diamond producer, has become the largest by volume, though De Beers remains the leader in dollar terms. Mr. Jens of ABN Amro said that he doubted predictions of a looming diamond shortage. New mines may be found, he said, and man-made diamonds — which are becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish from diamonds dug from the earth — could satisfy some market demand.

Question: Who is in charge of the parish's day-to-day administration?

Paul Cerni, the parish secretary, said that the shifts in the congregation’s demographics have vaguely mirrored those in the broader community, with a growing number of immigrants from predominantly Catholic countries of Latin America replacing those of Western European descent. The parish, established in 1910, has a congregation that now numbers about 1,500 people, he said, with about a quarter foreign-born. “We should pray the baby gets a proper home,” said Father Heanue, who arrived at the parish in February and is in charge of its day-to-day administration. Should the baby eventually be put up for adoption, he said, he had one wish. “I would like to see the child stay in this community,” he said.

Question: What shirt has a collar?

Next door is Gucci, the first American store to open under the guidance of the new creative director, Alessandro Michele. His vision — which emphasizes the brand’s traditional marks, logos and patterns, with a little extra naturalist flair — is an optimal fit for this location, as close to a fast-food environment as one can get while purchasing a reversible nylon bomber for $1,400, or a polo shirt with a snake embroidered into the collar for $810. The store is large and spare, not contemplative so much as blunt, and emphasizes items (like three-stripe sneakers and logo-print handbags) that are identifiable to even the most confused shopper. The store is currently carrying the cruise collection, but still it captures the conflict between Mr. Michele’s responsibilities to the brand as a source of innovation and as a source of gift-shop totems, two approaches to luxury that don’t always complement each other.

Question: What did Toby Gad think of Madonna?

But Madonna insisted on collaborating in what she called her “old-fashioned” way — not handing off tracks to be polished for later approval, but shaping them in person. “I never leave the room,” she said. “Sometimes I think that makes them mad. Like, ‘Don’t you have to go to the bathroom? Don’t you have somewhere to go? Don’t you want to go make some calls?’ ” Toby Gad, a producer who has also written with Beyoncé, worked on 14 songs with Madonna; seven, including “Joan of Arc” and “Living for Love,” reached the album. “The first week she was quite intimidating,” he said. “It was like a test phase. You have to criticize, but you can’t really offend. But she also likes honest, harsh critics to say things as they are. It worked out really well and she got sweeter and sweeter.”

Question: Who is the play director and Tony winner?

She might have been talking about herself. Though conscious of her considerable gifts as an actor — she’s so able to project emotion that her face can seem almost see-through — Ms. Moss still confesses to “major moments” where she thinks: “I can’t believe they asked me to do this, they’re crazy. This is all a mistake.” Pam MacKinnon, the play’s director and a Tony winner for “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,” disagreed. Speaking backstage as she prepared to return to rehearsal, she said that Ms. Moss had both the vulnerability and the sharpness that the role demands. “She’s incredibly intuitive, incredibly smart, and she is sort of an observer, even though she’s at the center of this rehearsal process,” Ms. MacKinnon said.

Question: What is the name of the temporary visa program that is being misused by certain American companies?

To the Editor: Re “Special Visas Help Copycats Take U.S. Jobs” (front page, Sept. 30): American companies like Toys “R” Us are using the H-1B temporary visa program to take high-paying American jobs offshore in the name of growth and corporate resiliency. At the same time, conservative politicians oppose raising the minimum wage to livable levels with the argument that it will deprive Americans of their low-paying jobs. They also want to tighten immigration laws that bring foreign workers here to take jobs that most Americans don’t want, as in agriculture. Is this selective vision, moral hypocrisy or both?

Question: Where is the Sarah Newman Center?

“It seemed that going over poetry with her and singing songs with her was a tremendous way to interact with her,” he recalled. “When we did that, she acted decades younger than she was otherwise.” Convinced that poetry could be therapeutic, he asked the Sarah Neuman Center, the Westchester County campus of a sprawling nonprofit, Jewish Home Lifecare, based near his home in New Rochelle, to let him give readings, and the administration agreed. This year, he felt confident enough about his experience to write about it in The Journal of Poetry Therapy, in an article titled “A Poetry Program for the Very Elderly — Narrative Perspective on One Therapeutic Model.” In it, he argues that without intending to do so, he has developed a curriculum for others to follow.

Question: Who is James following after in order to lead his team to victory?

For that reason, Brown’s task in 1964 seems a little easier than the one James faces now. James’s group, defying the odds, turned back Golden State in Games 2 and 3 to give Cleveland a two-games-to-one series lead, when few people were giving them much of a chance to actually take four games against the Warriors and win the N.B.A. title. Still, to have any shot, James, who had 40 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists in the Cavaliers’ 96-91 win Tuesday night, will do well to keep to Brown’s blueprint.

Question: What counry violated internaional law?

“Today’s action underscores our resolve to maintain pressure on Russia for violating international law and fueling the conflict in eastern Ukraine,” said John E. Smith, the acting director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control at the Treasury Department. “Our message is clear: We will continue to act to ensure the effectiveness of our sanctions.” But senior administration officials said the new actions were a routine step, and not an escalation of economic sanctions aimed at pressuring Mr. Putin and the Russian government.

Question: What tastes like slices of soy-lacquered chicken over rice cooked in chicken broth?

Noodles stir-fried with shrimp and soy sauce, called char kway teow, produce far more happiness than you’d expect from something that looks like shrimp lo mein.

Question: What is something that crating biofuels uses a lot of?

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: When did collectors would acquire a painting to keep in their home and then leave it to a museum?

“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: How many candidates were there after some dropped out?

The stage was strangely denuded, like a forest after overzealous logging. There were eight contenders where there had once been 11 — back in the glory days of Scott Walker. Even so, Bush couldn’t and didn’t stand out the way he, more than anyone else, really needed to. He can take some solace though, in the No. 1 questions about two rivals that were trending on Google. “Who is Rand Paul?” was one. And the other, my favorite: “Why do Republicans hate Ted Cruz?”

Question: what player holds the record for scoring in consecutive games?

Every Tuesday, The New York Times will look at the week ahead in the N.H.L., highlighting hot — or not so hot — teams and players.  Minnesota Wild at Chicago Blackhawks, Tuesday, 8 p.m., NBCSN Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane has scored a point in 19 straight games, compiling 11 goals and 20 assists in that span. He will go for his 20th in a row as Chicago returns home from a six-game Western trip. Sidney Crosby in 2010 was the last player to record a point in 20 straight games. Don’t get too excited about Kane breaking the N.H.L. record for point streaks, though. It is 51 games, set by Wayne Gretzky in 1983-84. Rangers at Islanders, Wednesday, 8 p.m., NBCSN

Question: What nation seized land in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war?

Two other American churches — the Episcopal Church and the Mennonite Church USA — were also debating Israeli divestment measures this week at their conventions. Last year, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) approved a resolution to divest from three companies that it said supplied Israel with equipment used in the occupation of Palestinian territory. With about 1.8 million members, the church remains the largest to endorse divestment at a churchwide convention. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and his subordinates have called the B.D.S. movement a new form of terrorism to delegitimize Israel. Supporters of the movement, including a growing number of American Jews, have called such criticism a scaremongering and divisive tactic meant to thwart legitimate debate about the Israeli occupation of lands seized in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Representatives of Jewish Voice for Peace, an advocacy group based in Oakland, Calif. that has endorsed the B.D.S. movement, attended the United Church of Christ meeting as observers. They said they welcomed the boycott resolution and described it as a reflection of growing impatience with what they called Israel’s intransigence.

Question: What branch of the Pentagon conducts drone operations?

It was two years ago that Mr. Obama gave a speech pledging to pull the targeted killing program from the shadows, and White House officials said they wanted to shift the bulk of drone operations from the C.I.A. to the Pentagon, with the stated intent of making the program somewhat more transparent. But the intelligence committees have resisted the plan, in part because Mr. D’Andrea and other top agency officials have convinced lawmakers that the C.I.A. strikes are more precise than those conducted by the Pentagon’s Joint Special Operations Command.

Question: On which street is the company's shop located?

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 kind of home does the robot have?

Now he has returned to the research: In the Green Neuroscience Laboratory, a sandboxlike table is home to small robot used to model neural network behavior. The research group recently published work exploring the basis of neural activity needed to support movement in an environment. But Dr. Ohayon is treading gingerly, looking for ways to ensure that his findings are not misused. “We have to treat neuroscience and robotics like we treat biological and chemical weapons,” he said. Dr. Lam and Dr. Ohayon have decided that all of their research projects must have two components.

Question: What incentive did investment advisers have for recommending high risk products to their clients?

Here is a short tale of how the way Americans save for retirement has changed over the last couple of generations. It helps explain what the Obama administration is up to with a new initiative this week: Once upon a time, companies took it as their responsibility to ensure that their workers could enjoy a comfortable retirement. They socked money away in a pension plan that paid longtime employees a healthy fraction of their salary from the day they retired to the day they died. Employers took on all the risk — the stock market dropping, people living longer than expected. And then along came new vehicles like the 401(k) and the Individual Retirement Account. These allowed ordinary Americans to take charge of their retirement savings themselves — to put money into tax-advantaged accounts and withdraw it when needed. But they also left people exposed to the vicissitudes of markets, the risk of saving too little or investing poorly, not to mention the possibility of outliving their savings. People were also at risk of getting advice from venal investment advisers guiding them toward investments with high fees or high risk because those products provided the advisers with high, frequently undisclosed commissions.

Question: In what county will it be more difficult to modify the cars?

WOLFSBURG, Germany —  Volkswagen said on Wednesday that it would be able to bring its diesel cars into line with European clean-air standards by updating engine software and installing a small, tube-shaped part roughly the same diameter as the cardboard tube in a roll of paper towels. The technical patch that Volkswagen presented at company headquarters here is valid only for Europe, where it will be installed beginning next year. Modifying Volkswagen diesel cars sold in the United States will be more complicated because of stricter rules on emissions of nitrogen oxides, pollutants harmful to the environment and human health.

Question: What disease does NeuroLinx explore nerve damage on?

Dr. Coggan had earlier grown disappointed with the “establishment” science in which, he says, academic research and corporate profit priorities are increasingly indistinguishable. He bootstrapped the research laboratory with his own money and now supports it with funding from a variety of private individual contributions and scientific research grants. NeuroLinx now supports a range of research projects, including an exploration of the way dolphins sleep, an effort to create a computer simulation of the ubiquitous lab worm C. elegans (known as the Open Worm project), and an exploration of nerve damage in diseases like multiple sclerosis. Dr. Ohayon had done early research in the field of autonomous agents based on neural networks, computing models inspired by biological nervous systems, but stopped for almost a decade because of worries about military applications of the technology.

Question: Who is the actress that plays Diane?

Charlie speaks in double talk. Announcing the end of her marriage to Will, she says she loves him. “The problem is I don’t love my life,” she explains. A whiny, high-strung control freak and compulsive scold, she is such a pill that you wonder what the brokenhearted Will, who moves to Astoria, Queens, could possibly have seen in her. The story jumps ahead a year. After class one afternoon, Will is approached by Kat (Jessica Williams), a talented student who offers to introduce him to her beautiful 45-year-old mother, Diane (Regina Hall), a teacher of American literature at Columbia. When they meet, it is obvious that they are compatible. At the very moment when “People Places Things” has a chance to soar, it turns prissy, indecisive and picayune. The story meanders along with too-cute scenes of Will bonding with his daughters. Meanwhile, Charlie, now pregnant, plans to get married. As the movie fizzles, Mr. Clement’s endearing performance breathes what little life is left into a movie that, much like the insufferable Charlie, can’t make up its mind about where to go or how to get there. “People Places Things” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). Language, mild sexual situations and brief nudity.
