Question: What year did the parks department hold a meeting for ideas about the Dome Playground?

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

Question: What word is proposed to better identify what a gamer is?

Some in the gaming community have proposed a shift in the meaning of gamer to be akin to cinephile, a person with a deep knowledge and appreciation of the whole medium. Others have argued that the definition should be broad and, in particular, reflect the wide array of people who play. “Marginalized groups have always engaged in gaming,” Kishonna Gray, director of the Critical Gaming Lab at Eastern Kentucky University, said in an email. “They just haven’t been acknowledged by gaming culture yet and they really aren’t catered to.” The Pew survey, which was conducted this summer among a sample of about 2,000 adults, found that young men play games far more than other groups, with 77 percent of 18- to 29-year-old men saying they play, and 57 percent of young women.

Question: Which institute found Republicans three times more likely to be upset with the federal government than Democrats?

His older brother was also the beneficiary of hardball politics. In 2000, George W. Bush defeated Senator John McCain in the South Carolina primary after fliers falsely accusing Mr. McCain of fathering a black baby out of wedlock began circulating in the state. Then, in the 2004 general election, he received a boost when Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, an outside group, ran a television ad accusing Senator John Kerry, a decorated Vietnam War veteran, of lying about his war record. And now, with Republicans nearly three times as likely as Democrats to describe themselves as angry with the federal government, according to a recent Pew Research Center study, Jeb Bush may need to get more comfortable — and quickly — with personally going on the attack and channeling a sense of passionate outrage.

Question: How many followers does Omar Shalabi have on Facebook?

TEL AVIV, Israel — An Israeli court on Tuesday sentenced a Palestinian for incitement and for supporting a terrorist organization based on Facebook posts that applauded militant attacks, his lawyer said. It was a rare case in which statements on social media were regarded as a crime. The defendant, Omar Shalabi, 45, a father of six from East Jerusalem, was sentenced to nine months in jail for 10 posts to his 5,000 friends and 755 followers that urged them to undertake “violent acts and acts of terrorism,” said the Hebrew-language indictment. Legal rights groups said it was unusual for an Israeli court to accept speech on social media as a basis for conviction. But they said that in recent months the Israeli police had detained several Palestinians from East Jerusalem and Arab citizens of Israel for incitement over comments made on their social media networks.

Question: What day was the grand jury's decision announced?

But the grand jury could not finish in time, the St. Louis County prosecutor, Robert P. McCulloch, told a law school audience here on Friday. Instead, it finished its work on a Monday and its decision to not indict the police officer was announced that evening. Protests followed that night, leading to looting and arson that left Ferguson’s downtown devastated. Speaking to a symposium on Ferguson at the St. Louis University School of Law, Mr. McCulloch defended the timing of the announcement, along with his handling of the grand jury, which was widely criticized in the days after the rioting.

Question: What is the inexhaustible appetite for versions of Wolf Hall a party a result of?

“Here comes this series, based on two Booker Prize novels with magnificent actors and a substantial investment of time and money,” Mr. Kosminsky said. “The BBC is saying, this is the kind of thing only the BBC can do.” After the series was broadcast in Britain, there was exhaustive media coverage discussing everything from Tudor economics to fashion, and engendering a predictable amount of historical debate. “There’s an important distinction to make,” said Mr. Lewis, best known for playing Nicholas Brody in the series “Homeland.” Sitting on the lawn in full big-shouldered costume, looking every inch the handsome, charismatic and still-trim monarch he plays in the series, he added: “We are not telling Tudor history; we are creating ‘Wolf Hall’ from novels, which are already a rereading of Tudor history.” The apparently inexhaustible appetite for versions of Ms. Mantel’s story is partly the result of Britain’s perpetual fascination with the Tudor dynasty but is mostly testament to her vividly original reading of the period: Henry’s desperation for a male heir, the break with the Roman Catholic Church, the beginnings of Protestantism, the dissolution of the monasteries and the eventual execution of Anne, the point at which the second book ends. (Ms. Mantel is writing a third installment, “The Mirror and the Light,” which will chronicle the last four years of Cromwell’s life.) All these events are mediated through the perspective and personality of Cromwell, usually depicted by historians as an unscrupulous and cruel power-monger, but here given a far more enigmatic profile as Ms. Mantel’s narrative follows his rise from blacksmith’s son to heights of power second only to the king. As Cromwell frees his master from his marriage to Catherine of Aragon so that he may marry Anne Boleyn, then orchestrates her downfall, he emerges as clever, witty and urbane, multilingual, inexhaustibly energetic and a master of the dog-eat-dog political chess game that is Henry’s court.

Question: What is easy to confuse with causation when reading epidemiological studies?

It is frustrating enough when we over-read the results of epidemiologic studies and make the mistake of believing that correlation is the same as causation. It’s maddening, however, when we ignore the results of randomized controlled trials, which can prove causation, to continue down the wrong path. In reviewing the literature, it’s hard to come away with a sense that anyone knows for sure what diet should be recommended to all Americans. I understand people’s frustration at the continuing shifts in nutrition recommendations. For decades, they’ve been told what to eat because “science says so.” Unfortunately, that doesn’t appear to be true. That’s disappointing not only because it reduces people’s faith in science as a whole, but also because it may have cost some people better health, or potentially even their lives.

Question: What is another name for the front cannon?

Fireboats have also responded to smoldering garbage barges, houseboat blazes and, a few years ago, a coal ship fire in Connecticut. Because the department used federal funding to replace much of its aging fleet, “that makes them regional assets,” said Chief Ferro. “It used to be like ‘The Flintstones,’” he said of the boats from the middle of the last century. “Now it’s like ‘The Jetsons.’” During the Brooklyn blaze, Chief Ferro said that in addition to dealing with heavy current, strong winds and shallow water, the pilot of the Firefighter II had to contend with the sheer force of the front cannon, known as a monitor, pushing the unanchored boat backward. “He did an amazing job,” the chief said.

Question: Who was the conductor of Symphony No. 10?

I could devote a whole report to the wrenching, blazing and vehement account of Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 10 in E minor that Mr. Gilbert conducted after intermission. The composer completed this hourlong symphony months after the death of Stalin. How explicitly it was intended as bitter commentary on Stalinist repression is a topic of debate. Whatever one’s take, Mr. Gilbert led a commanding performance, especially the spacious gravity he summoned during the expansive opening movement and the intensity bordering on sheer terror of the short Allegro.

Question: What is being reviewed?

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: What type of instrument Mr. Bridges  plays at the end of his main set?

But it also does him a disservice. What if it turns out that this isn’t Mr. Bridges’s true context after all? At the end of his main set — after the sax subsided, after the strolling bass stopped strolling — he stood onstage, clutching an acoustic guitar. Accompanied only by his backup singer, he began to play “River.” It’s the final song on his album, and the one on which the allusions to Mr. Cooke are the strongest, taking advantage of the slickness of Mr. Bridges’s voice. But here, he did something different with it: His voice was raspy, exhausted, unkempt. For the whole night, he’d been a character in some elaborate, underwhelming music trompe l’oeil. But stripped free of context, and unburdened by expectations, he was riveting. And timeless.

Question: Where is the company etf.com headquartered?

To Mr. Faust’s point, after the fund’s approval was disclosed, shares of Eaton Vance soared 20 percent in a day as investors bet that the innovation would transform the company. Still, the asset-management industry can be slow to change, and there is no guarantee that it will rush to adopt an untried model being trumpeted by a competitor. Moreover, analysts say, exchanges like Nasdaq as well as broker dealers will have to make significant investments to accommodate the new funds. “There are a lot of operational hurdles for them to clear,” said Dave Nadig, a specialist at ETF.com, an industry research firm based in San Francisco. “That is a lot of work to do for just one product from one company.” True enough, Mr. Faust concedes.

Question: Who is Matt Harvey's favorite hockey team?

PHILADELPHIA — Matt Harvey had not exactly had a good day at work. He felt off. He struggled stringing together what would normally be typical pitch sequences. He made two critical outs at the plate. He took his first loss in six starts this season. And the Rangers, his favorite hockey team, were heading to overtime in an elimination playoff game. Understandably, he might have wanted to go blow off steam and watch the end of the game. He was standing at his locker late Friday night when he was asked whether he had checked the score of the game yet. “No,” Harvey said gruffly. “I don’t know why you’re asking me that question.” And he walked away. The Mets lost to the Phillies, the last-place team in the National League East, 3-1. Harvey threw six innings, allowing three runs and recording four strikeouts. He might have gotten by with a start like that if Cole Hamels, the Phillies’ starter, had not stifled the Mets for seven strong innings.

Question: The diverging path of the two central banks prompted investors to put money into what currency?

The diverging paths of the two central banks prompted investors to put money into dollars, on the expectation that interest rates in the United States will rise and offer a better return than in Europe, where interest rates are falling. The euro fell to 1.20 against the dollar on Friday, its lowest since June 2010, while the yield, or market interest rate, on German two-year government bonds fell to a new low of minus 0.11 percent. The yield has been below zero since September; investors were willing to effectively pay the German government to keep their money safe. The larger picture is not merely that the dollar is gaining against the euro. Signs that the Fed is getting closer to raising its benchmark interest rate from zero have helped the United States currency to soar against its counterparts in Japan, Britain and in major emerging markets. Against a broad basket of currencies, the dollar has risen more than 13 percent since September to its highest level in almost six years.

Question: What baseball park was the Mets game played in?

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: When will the induction of the managing director class at Goldman Sachs Group begin?

The Goldman Sachs Group is in the middle of its biennial election of the next class of managing directors, an envied status that puts the lucky few just a breath away from the company’s loftiest title of partner. The managing director class that will be inducted starting in January is being culled now, said Gary Cohn, president and chief operating officer, who added he had “no real concerns” about the culture of the bank. Mr. Cohn said Goldman had learned to adapt and change over the years as its model shifted from a traditional private partnership to a global publicly traded company.

Question: How many guests could be accommodated?

He has not recouped his initial investments, including about $350,000 for structures that accommodate as many as 80 guests, and $6,000 for solar heaters and water filtration and biogas-capture systems.

Question: How long before a firearms dealer can sell without background check?

The man who the police say killed nine Charleston churchgoers had not completed his background check, but he was allowed to buy a gun anyway under a so-called default proceed. Federal law permits a firearms dealer who has initiated a background check to proceed with a sale if the dealer has not been notified of violations within three business days. Representative James E. Clyburn, Democrat of South Carolina, filed legislation that would close the loophole, but Republican leaders have not acted on it.

Question: In which city was the author shot?

That category could easily have included me. In 2006 I was shot at by a drunken 20-something man on the North Side of Chicago while riding in a car with three female friends. The reason? I was in the back seat next to the man’s ex-girlfriend. Enraged, he burst from his house, pistol popping. Luckily, his aim was bad, and my friend was a good defensive driver: The shooter only managed to crack the rear window. I learned later that he had loose ties to a Hispanic set. Since then, I have sometimes wondered how close I came, as a brown man, then in my mid-20s, to having my death trivialized by a two-word phrase in a police blotter. The chimera of devious street tribes might give people a scapegoat for Chicago’s gun violence, but it doesn’t reflect the complex reality on the ground. And sending in tactical units to “destroy the gangs,” as the former Chicago police superintendent Garry McCarthy recently vowed, distracts from the structural problems that lead to gun violence in inner-city neighborhoods. When our solution to crime is to target gangs, we risk targeting whole swaths of people in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods, almost all of them black and Hispanic. A real solution would involve more opportunities for employment and education, stricter policies on gun control and safe spaces for those who have been traumatized, in order to minimize the chance of violence being perpetuated — the same things people have spent half a century calling for in these neighborhoods.

Question: Is there more or less water compared to the past?

For most of the 1900s, the bureau’s system — which grew into the largest wholesale water utility in the country — worked. But the West of the 21st century is not the West of Roosevelt. There are now millions more people who want water, but there is far less of it. The science of climate change shows that in the future, there will be less still. “We have to think differently,” said Michael Connor, the deputy secretary of the Interior Department, which includes the Bureau of Reclamation. “It’s not enough just to conserve water. We need to rethink these projects. We have a lot of infrastructure, but a lot of it doesn’t work very well anymore. We need to undertake what amounts to a giant replumbing project across the West.” Mr. Connor said that in the future, the nation’s water agency would have to put climate change at the center of its mission.

Question: Who gave a statement in the article?

Under the agreement, the Port Authority and Amtrak will provide staff for the corporation, and the authority will arrange for office space and logistical support. The corporation will own the new tunnel and enter into operating agreements with railroads to use it. Mr. Foxx said the governing structure would help advance the project quickly. “When I sounded the alarm this summer, my goal was to get the necessary parties to the table,” he said. “Now, that table is set.”

Question: What did W. McIntyre Burnham say?

But their rigid opposition to animal research in particular may come at a steep price. “They don’t want to play the game,” said W. McIntyre Burnham, a neuropharmacologist at the University of Toronto, with whom Dr. Ohayon studied. “They may be the wave of the future, but I think they may also have trouble getting support.” The two came to the idea of an alternative approach to neuroscience on a backpacking trip on Vancouver Island in 2011. Dr. Lam was ending a postdoctoral fellowship, and the two scientists were worried about the direction of neuroscience. As it turned out, they were not the only ones. Eventually they found a kindred spirit in the neuroscientist Jay S. Coggan. The Green Neuroscience Laboratory is affiliated with — and shares offices with — the NeuroLinx Research Institute, which he founded.

Question: Where does the fourth bedroom have a balcony to?

A custom-made staircase to the side of the reception hall leads up to a galleried landing, which gives on to the six bedrooms and family bathroom. At 195 square feet, the master bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom and access to a private balcony, taking in the vistas down toward the lake. Three smaller bedrooms open onto a second balcony overlooking the lake, while a fourth has a small balcony to the front. Baths in both the master suite and family bathroom have been set into picture bay windows to make the most of the spectacular views from their tubs. The basement was the final phase of the house to be completed. While this includes a laundry, it is largely a leisure space, comprising a cinema room, a gym and a sitting room with a wood-burning stove. The wall between the gym and the sitting room is partly filled with a double-sided Indian Ocean aquarium, which is illuminated and populated by an array of tropical fish. “We wanted this part of the house to be a place to come to relax after a busy day or week at work: there is a sauna, with a built-in television, and outside on the deck, a hot tub, with views down to the lake,” Mr. Hague said. Leading from the driveway is a series of substantial outbuildings, including a game room and office, a second office, a store room and a garage.

Question: Where did the imprisonment occur?

We were both imprisoned in China, on charges officials there later acknowledged to have been false, and we both shared, at the same time in the 1990s, the same cancer — non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma — and the same oncologist in New York. Now the wheel has turned, and the time has come to begin meeting the challenge Tiziano issued on that Florentine afternoon, after some familiar chatter among his guests: how far each of us had traveled, the wonders and miseries we’d chronicled, and the most fascinating, or cruel, dictators and rulers through whose realms we’d passed. It was a fine thing, Tiziano said, to have accumulated all those visas and passport stamps, all those exotic datelines, all those Saddam Hussein puppets and Little Red Books of Mao’s wisdom, all those richly seasoned tales of derring-do.

Question: How old is Kyrgios?

Rafael Nadal expressed a similar sentiment. “Being young or not, I think, is not an excuse at all,” Nadal, 29, said of the 20-year-old Kyrgios. “I have been 16 when I arrived to this tour.

Question: Without a change in course, when will the state's infrastructure fund be depleted?

The United States attorney’s office in Newark is investigating whether United reinstated flights to a South Carolina airport close to the weekend home of David Samson, the former Port Authority chairman, in exchange for concessions the airline sought from the agency. Mr. Samson is said to have raised the issue with United officials at a dinner that Mr. Fox attended in Manhattan in September 2011. Mr. Christie, a Republican, nominated Mr. Fox to be commissioner a year ago. He was hired in hopes that he could broker a deal with New Jersey’s Legislature, led by Democrats, to replenish the state’s fund for roads and transportation, which, if current trends continue, would be out of money next year.

Answer: next year

Question: What did people express about equality for women?

PG: How did people respond when you first raised concerns about equality for women? GS: They were either disinterested or said it was impossible. My classic experience was an editor who said, “O.K., you can publish an article saying women are equal.” But right next to it, he would publish an article that said that they weren’t — to be objective. RBG: The concern was that if a woman was doing gender equality, her chances of making it to tenure in the law school were diminished. It was considered frivolous.

Question: What is one of the most painful processes?

On the ground, where crews are slashing down lines of trees and pulling up underbrush in an effort to scrape down to bare earth, where fire cannot catch, the changed fire behavior means that swaths have to be cut wider and that firefighters have less time during which it is safe to work. “The younger guys, we have to keep pulling them back,” Captain Oatman said, noting that the eagerness of novices to put out the fire must be tamped by new safety precautions in the face of speeding flames. In the fire zone near Clearlake Oaks, teams of firefighters strode through ashy scrubland where the blaze had passed, putting out simmering pockets with hose water in clouds of smoke. The painstaking process of finding and eradicating hot spots will take place over the entire expanse of the fire’s path.

Question: what was the purpose of practice?

When practice started, Lundqvist took his place in the same goal he always does, and Talbot took his place at the opposite end. The Rangers began to scrimmage, but much of the action seemed to gravitate toward Talbot’s end. Lundqvist knelt down, waiting. He started stretching again. He looked bored. But the purpose of this practice was mostly to get the players moving around, their blood flowing on their day off, and Lundqvist would probably be better served saving his energy. The series against the Capitals has been grueling.

Question: What was the name of the movie was shot with a dashboard-mounted video camera?

★ ‘Steve Jobs’ (R, 2:02) This three-panel portrait of the Apple co-founder, written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Danny Boyle, portrays Jobs (Michael Fassbender) as a complicated, ambitious man caught in a tangle of messy personal and business relationships. Isolating Jobs at three crucial moments in his career, the film plays like a fast, busy backstage comedy and ends up being a richly intelligent exploration of our ambivalence about technology, genius and consumer capitalism. (Scott) ‘Suffragette’ (PG-13, 1:47) Carey Mulligan plays Maud Watts, a laundry worker in London in 1912 who becomes a militant supporter of women’s voting rights. In telling her story, Sarah Gavron (the director) and Abi Morgan (who wrote the screenplay) hit a few soft and sentimental notes, but they also explore the vital and still relevant connection between feminism and class consciousness in modern democratic politics. (Scott) ★ ‘Taxi’ (No rating, 1:22) Shot almost entirely with a dashboard-mounted video camera, Jafar Panahi’s latest film — his third since the Iranian government banned him from practicing his craft in 2010 — is a wry meditation on the slippery boundary between movies and reality and a pointed work of social criticism. What seems like a random series of encounters turns out to be an elegantly shaped and poignant parable of modern urban life. (Scott) ★ ‘Theeb’ (No rating, 1:40, in Arabic) The title character in the “Arabic western,” set in 1916 and heavily influenced by Sergio Leone, is a Bedouin boy stranded in the desert with the mercenary who killed his older brother. The survival drama is as tough as it is picturesque. (Holden)

Question: What book does Ms. Smith feel is impossible to top?

“I just do my work, and I work every day, and my ambition is just to do something better than I last did,” she said. “I’d like to write something as great as ‘Pinocchio’ or ‘Little Women.’ I won’t say ‘Moby-Dick’ because that’s impossible. I’d like to write a book that everybody loves. I’d like to take a picture that someone wants to put above their desk so they can look at it while they’re writing a letter or doing whatever they’re doing while sitting at their desk. I’d like to do a painting that would astonish people.”

Question: Christopher R. Heanue called the child what?

The city’s population of children in foster care hit its peak in the early 1990s, amid a crack epidemic, topping 49,000 in December 1991. Since then, the numbers have steadily declined, in part because of a shift in strategy that seeks to keep families unified as long as possible while addressing underlying problems in the household. On Sunday, officials from the children’s services agency addressed the Holy Child Jesus congregation at a Spanish-language morning Mass and at an English-language midday Mass. The appearance of the baby last month was celebrated in the parish as a message of hope. Some have taken to calling the boy Emmanuel. The Rev. Christopher R. Heanue, a parochial vicar at the church, has nicknamed him John the Baptist. During one of the Sunday services, the church’s pastor, Bishop Octavio Cisneros, referred to the baby as “our little one.” “I would like to express our gratitude to you in person for taking care of the baby that was found here Thanksgiving week, the start of this very special time of the year,” Ms. McKnight told congregants at the midday Mass. The baby, she reported, was “thriving” in his foster home. “But,” she said, “this little one has come to represent something greater.” She then introduced the agency’s “call to action” on adoption. After the services, Bishop Cisneros said he was hopeful about the campaign.

Question: What kind of service does Uber provide?

Matthew L. Wing, a spokesman for Uber, a ride-hailing service, said, “The behavior in the video is wrong and unacceptable, and we appreciate the N.Y.P.D. investigating the incident.” Michael J. Palladino, the president of the Detectives’ Endowment Association, the union for city police detectives, defended the detective, saying “cops are just like everyone else” with complicated lives. “Detective Cherry is a person of good character and an excellent detective,” he said. “He really should not be judged by one isolated incident.” In the video footage, apparently from an encounter in the West Village, Detective Cherry can be seen berating the driver, Humayun Chaudhry, while standing at the driver’s door.
