Question: How many prisoners are in prison for drug related offenses?

A growing number of state and federal officials from both parties are supporting measures to decrease the prison population by lightening punishments for some drug-related offenders, who according to federal data make up roughly half of the 1.5 million federal and state prisoners. The Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 eliminated the five-year minimum sentence for first-time possession of crack, and decreased higher mandatory punishments for dealing crack with a prior criminal record. The day after visiting the probation office, Mr. Norris met with a social services agent who briefed him on more than a dozen state assistance programs, including ones that offer free interview clothes and health exams at the Wellmobile, a clinic on wheels that drives around Maryland. Applying for food stamps meant his first attempt at a technology forbidden in prison: the Internet. “I feel like a 5-year-old trying to learn this stuff,” he said, poking hesitantly at a keyboard.

Question: High-quality protein refers to what?

Those hard oval shells contain what some call nature’s perfect food: high-quality protein; a balance of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats; and important nutrients like vitamins A and D and calcium. And the federal government is about to retire its decades-old warnings about another element in eggs: cholesterol.

Question: How much was Rodriguez' contract with the Rangers worth?

“I wasn’t sure what to expect in spring training,” Girardi said last week. “But Alex is a worker and he knows how to play the game. And he’s been a really smart player for a long period of time, so if there’s anyone who can figure it out quickly, it would be Alex.” Rodriguez’s performance has moved him into the good graces of many, but not all, Yankees fans. On the road, Rodriguez has been booed, though it often seems as if it is a matter of course. As Rodriguez noted recently, he has been a popular villain since 2001, when he signed a then-record $252 million free-agent contract with the Texas Rangers.

Question: What does Boko Haram mean in English?

But as our military pushes Boko Haram back, as it will, we must be ready to focus on what else must be done to counter the terrorists. We must address why it is that young people join Boko Haram. There are many reasons why vulnerable young people join militant groups, but among them are poverty and ignorance. Indeed Boko Haram — which translates in English, roughly, as “Western Education Is Sinful” — preys on the perverted belief that the opportunities that education brings are sinful. If you are starving and young, and in search of answers as to why your life is so difficult, fundamentalism can be alluring. We know this for a fact because former members of Boko Haram have admitted it: They offer impressionable young people money and the promise of food, while the group’s mentors twist their minds with fanaticism.

Question: Where did the American finance professional move for tax purposes?

One American finance professional, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said he moved to St. Kitts and Nevis seven years ago for tax purposes, eventually deciding to give up his United States passport. He then moved his family to Switzerland for the schools, European culture and competitive tax benefits. His family is now applying for Maltese passports, attracted by the speed of the program. He would have had to wait 12 years in Switzerland to gain citizenship. “My kids will have the ability to live and work anywhere in the E.U.,” he said. “It’s an incredibly powerful passport.” He does not, however, plan to live in Malta. “We will spend some vacation time there.”

Question: Who is Mrs. Chow married to?

Flash! Pop! And then she was gone. For the last 23 years, Mrs. Chow — first name pronounced Aay-vah, obviously — has been largely defined by her marriage to Michael Chow, the celebrity restaurateur. She gave up a successful fashion line, Eva Chun, in 1994 to be a mother. Yes, she has played a crucial role in keeping the Mr. Chow chain humming. But mostly her husband has basked in the spotlight while she has played the supporting part. That seems to be changing. With the bespectacled Mr. Chow approaching 77 and concentrating on making art, Mrs. Chow, who is in her late 50s, has increased her focus on their business, particularly when it comes to growth. A sixth location opened in Malibu, Calif., in 2012. Las Vegas and Mexico City are next. Last month, she oversaw the introduction of an exclusive Mr. Chow-branded wine.

Question: Why did Ms. Santana come forward later as a witness?

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 is a good habit to have regarding throwing away personal documents?

There’s little individuals can do about information stolen in broad data breaches, like the one recently reported at the health insurer Anthem, Ms. Velasquez said. But you can take steps, like declining to provide your Social Security number unless it is a requirement; shredding documents with any personal information before disposing of them; and storing sensitive documents, like tax returns, in a locked file. It’s also important to keep your computer’s anti-malware and virus programs up to date.

Question: Which body is in charge of rules prohibiting commercial drone flight?

Currently, the F.A.A. permits farmers and others to apply for exemptions to the rule prohibiting commercial drone flight. About 300 exemptions have been granted to people in many industries. Ms. Hediger and Mr. Jacobs, the farmers, both said they planned to apply — once their busy growing seasons were over. But the line for a permit is lengthy. In early May, there were nearly 1,000 people on the wait list. Penalties for drone-flying farmers range from a stiff email urging compliance all the way to a fine of $27,500. No growers, however, have been fined to date, according to Les Dorr, an F.A.A. spokesman. “We recognize that unmanned aircraft have an enormous potential for monitoring crops,” Mr. Dorr said. But he urged eager drone fliers to be patient as the administration weighed safety concerns. “Rule-making,” he said, “can take time.”

Question: When did the government release a report?

The stock market then drifted gradually lower after a classic good-news-is-bad-news moment. A government report released at midmorning showed that the number of available jobs jumped 8 percent in July to the highest level in 15 years. That added to evidence that hiring remained strong and might prompt Federal Reserve policy makers to raise interest rates at their next meeting later this month. By the close, the Dow Jones industrial average had swung more than 400 points from its peak of the day. The index surged a day earlier, logging its second-best day of the year.

Question: What was Mr. Fox supposed to secure money for?

Instead, the statement said that Mr. Fox would “make his anticipated transition back to the private sector by the end of the month.” Mr. Christie said that Joseph Bertoni, the department’s deputy commissioner, would take over as acting commissioner. In a statement, Mr. Fox suggested the move was related to his inability to secure funding for the state’s transportation fund. He said that serving as transportation commissioner twice had been “the best job I have ever had.” He did not mention the federal investigation.

Question: What is the name of the parish secretary?

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 settings was the art collection staged?

“One of the most interesting, significant and unique things is that the art collection, which is fabulous in and of itself, is in a domestic setting, so you see how it was juxtaposed with all the other things that Mr. Pope collected,” Ms. Bourbeau said. “This is where he lived with it, where he enjoyed it himself, where he shared it with family and friends. That was his motivation for collecting in the first place. He wasn’t buying for investment purposes. It was because he loved the stuff.”

Question: What was Ms. Wenk's minimum required square footage?

“We had a couple of nonnegotiable things — outdoor space and nothing smaller than 1,200 square feet,” Ms. Wenk said. After nine months of searching they pounced last year when they learned, through Joanna Mayfield Marks, an agent at Halstead Property, of a 1,500-square-foot condo with two terraces. The four-building complex had three units on the market late last month, ranging from a studio for $559,000 to a three-bedroom for $1.85 million, according to Andrew Booth, an associate broker at the Corcoran Group. The area has “definitely become a more popular neighborhood,” said Lea Fulton, an agent at the Ideal Properties Group. “People are coming in saying, ‘Hey, I’m interested in Clinton Hill,’ and before it was ‘I can’t afford Fort Greene anymore, so I guess I’ll look into Clinton Hill.’ ”

Question: How old is Rev.Christopher Ryan Heanue?

Rocio Fidalgo, a spokeswoman for the Diocese of Brooklyn, to which the church belongs, said that from time to time, people leave unwanted children at its churches, though she declined to say how often this happened. “It’s not uncommon,” Ms. Fidalgo said. “But we feel and we believe that these mothers trust our churches in the middle of their desperation.” For the parish priest, the Rev. Christopher Ryan Heanue, 28, the infant’s appearance carried a message of hope. And he saw in it some divine foresight. He had not intended for the crèche to be set up so early in the season. “That was the providential part of this,” he said on Wednesday. The baby, he added, “found in this a home.” “The story went most certainly viral, because it’s a beautiful story,” he said. “I pray that it’s a story that will make people appreciate the gifts of life.”

Rocio Fidalgo, a spokeswoman for the Diocese of Brooklyn, to which the church belongs, said that from time to time, people leave unwanted children at its churches, though she declined to say how often this happened. “It’s not uncommon,” Ms. Fidalgo said. “But we feel and we believe that these mothers trust our churches in the middle of their desperation.” For the parish priest, the Rev. Christopher Ryan Heanue, <hl> 28 <hl>, the infant’s appearance carried a message of hope. And he saw in it some divine foresight.

Question: Who always waited for someone to pay for their bill?

“You’re not listening!” he said. “After that, whenever I went out with people more successful than me, I always judged them by the words of my boss. The people I wanted to do business with or start a friendship with were those who offered to pick up the bill; the shady characters were those who just sat back and waited for someone to pay. And when I started picking up the tab for my friends and on business meals as I became wealthier, everyone’s view of me changed. They knew me now as someone who would take care of business,” whether that meant the meal in front of them or things of more substance. “How about if I pay this time, and you pay next time?” I said. “But you don’t pay the bill to build a reputation,” he replied, ignoring my offer. “You pay because it’s the right thing to do. You really don’t know the financial situation of the other person whenever you go out, so just offer; if the person is wealthier than you, he’ll take care of you, no worries. You always take care of those worse off than you — call it Jesus or charity or good business or whatever, but you always do. Now, let me pay the bill.” He won. Best business lunch I ever had (high-end chilaquiles, by the way). The lesson I learned that day is a mantra I’ve followed ever since and have repeated to everyone I know, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but also because of what my exec pal told me as we left the restaurant:

Question: Which reforms are being pushed aside by the House?

The House bill invests millions of extra dollars in a questionable missile defense program. It continues to prohibit Mr. Obama from shutting down the Guantánamo Bay military prison in Cuba. And it fails to address some of the sensible reforms pushed by a diverse group of defense experts, like reducing the number of private contractors working for the Pentagon and closing excess military bases in the United States. These could save billions of dollars. The country faces daunting security challenges — from the Islamic State to Russia in Ukraine and China in the South China Sea. But throwing money at the military doesn’t guarantee security, especially when it is spent on programs that don’t make the country safer and is denied to programs that enhance security.

Question: what errors should be avoided?

If you want to sling between computers files that you did not purchase in iTunes — like audio tracks ripped from your own CDs — using your Dropbox folder as a transfer station can work. However, to avoid seeing exclamation marks or other errors because of original files gone missing from the first iTunes library, drag copies of the tracks out of the iTunes window to the desktop Dropbox folder, or copy over duplicates from your iTunes Media folder to Dropbox. Once you get to your second computer and open your synced Dropbox folder there, import the tracks into that system’s iTunes’s library. You can delete them out of your Dropbox folder at that point, but if you leave them there, you can play and view many types of unrestricted files on a smartphone or tablet by opening and streaming them through the Dropbox mobile app.

Question: This agreement has to do with which of Iran's programs?

We, members of the Top Level Group of U.K. Parliamentarians for Multilateral Nuclear Disarmament and Nonproliferation, believe that the agreement reached between the six world powers and Iran is a major step toward building stability and peace in the Middle East. The agreement is comprehensive and covers the main areas of concern over Iran’s nuclear program. It includes intrusive, detailed measures for verification and inspection of Iran’s civil nuclear program, in line with the requirements of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s additional protocol. In effect, it sharply reduces the amount of enriched uranium Iran can hold and freezes further enrichment for 10 to 15 years.

Question: What was leased?

“It was a book this thick, but we were free,” joked Mr. Harschel, waving an imaginary building code volume. Mr. Olthuis noted that the house had been built following code for land houses, which, in keeping with a mandate to build greener houses in the Netherlands, stipulated triple-glazed windows, heavy insulation and even a heat exchanger to retain heat from effluent — something that most houseboats, which tend to be light houses on a heavy foundation, avoid. Mr. Harschel estimates that the couple spent 350,000 euros, or $380,000, to build the house (the lease for the lot is €600 a month), and guesses that the value of the property has probably more than doubled in the years since it was built.

Question: What type of funds have flocked to the islands?

The tax system, in particular, has been a boon. Some foreign companies can be structured to pay 5 percent in corporate taxes. Malta also has double taxation treaties with 65 countries, allowing individuals and businesses to avoid being taxed in two places. Significant tax advantages and a pro-business regulator have created a booming financial services industry. It now represents 12 to 15 percent of the country’s G.D.P., up from 6.3 percent in 2004. Online gambling companies have flocked to the island, as have hedge funds. With a strong corporate base, Malta sailed through the economic crisis relatively unscathed. The economy grew 3.5 percent in 2014. Unemployment is 5.8 percent, the fourth-lowest in Europe. Malta was looking to expand that economic growth through the citizenship program. Under the initial plan in 2013, the newly installed Labor Party government proposed selling passports for €650,000, with few other requirements for citizenship. Almost immediately, it drew protests. The country, critics argued, was not an economic basket case like other European nations trying similar programs. They also worried that the program would damage its reputation as an attractive place to do business. “We do not want to form part of a law which prostitutes Malta’s identity and its citizenship,” Mario de Marco, a vocal member of the opposition, said during the debate. The opposition took the program to the European Parliament in an effort to block it. While the Parliament condemned the program, it could do little else, because citizenship is controlled by national governments. To placate the Parliament and the opposition, the government raised the bar for citizenship. Strict due diligence standards were set to weed out money launderers and criminals. It also raised the cost and adopted a residency requirement. In addition to the €650,000 fee to the government, applicants must now invest €150,000 in government bonds, buy property for at least €350,000 or rent a place for at least €16,000 a year — all of which must be held for at least five years. “This is not ‘tick the box,’” said Mr. Cardona, the chief of the program. Mr. Hyzler, the lawyer, and others note that the newcomers are establishing real links to Malta. They are setting up bank accounts and buying health insurance, both of which are required. They are also joining country clubs and donating to local charities, which is encouraged. “Clients genuinely want to do more than just make the investment,” said Mark Stannard, managing director of the Maltese office of Henley & Partners, a residence and citizenship planning firm. He said a Saudi national with a Lebanese passport who had applied for Maltese citizenship had recently returned with a delegation of 12 to consider setting up businesses in aviation, life sciences and real estate.

Question: When cells divide, what happens to their telomeres?

Once the scientists figured out how to keep the animals happy, Dr. Brunet’s team got down to the scientific work. They sequenced the entire genome of the turquoise killifish, identifying a number of genes known to influence aging in other species, including mice and humans. Dr. Harel then built molecular tools the team could use to tinker with the fish’s genes. Using a new technique called Crispr, he created molecular scissors that could snip out any piece of killifish DNA and replace it with a different one. To test his tools, Dr. Harel and his colleagues tinkered with a gene called TERT, which protects DNA from wear and tear. It encodes a protein that helps build caps at the ends of DNA molecules called telomeres. Telomeres, like the plastic tips at the ends of shoelaces, keep DNA from fraying. As cells divide, their telomeres get shorter, and this change probably plays a role in aging. But how is still a mystery.

Question: What religion did Michael D'Andrea convert to?

Perhaps no single C.I.A. officer has been more central to the effort than Michael D’Andrea, a gaunt, chain-smoking convert to Islam who was chief of operations during the birth of the agency’s detention and interrogation program and then, as head of the C.I.A. Counterterrorism Center, became an architect of the targeted killing program. Until last month, when Mr. D’Andrea was quietly shifted to another job, he presided over the growth of C.I.A. drone operations and hundreds of strikes in Pakistan and Yemen during nine years in the position.

Question: Did the players vote for unionization publicly or secret?

Northwestern University, which strongly urged its players to vote down the union ahead of last year’s secret ballot election, released a statement from Alan Cubbage, a spokesman. “We believe strongly that unionization and collective bargaining are not the appropriate methods to address the concerns raised by student-athletes,” it read. “We are pleased that the N.L.R.B. has agreed with the university’s position.” Across college sports, many others praised the ruling. The commissioners of 31 of the largest conferences issued a statement calling the N.L.R.B. decision “the right call,” and Donald Remy, the N.C.A.A.’s chief legal officer, said it would allow the association “to continue to make progress for the college athlete without risking the instability to college sports that the N.L.R.B. recognized might occur under the labor petition.”

Question: What is Marcelo studying to be?

The #nightshift hashtag is especially well populated by the armed professions and the healing ones. Sometimes they are almost one and the same, as in the case of @armedmedic3153, a.k.a. Marcelo Aguirre, a paramedic in Newark and suburban New Jersey. He owns an AR-15, a 9-millimeter and a shotgun, but the only thing he shoots on the night shift is his camera. He works nights so he can study days; he wants to be a doctor. Nights are good preparation for that: You get more serious cases. You learn on the job. A 12-hour course each night you’re on. Twenty-four hours if you take a double. After a while, the adrenaline that juices you when you’re new — when you’re still keeping a tally of the lives you’ve saved — disappears. You just do the job. “High speed and low drag,” Aguirre told me when I called. “Please ignore the siren,” he said. “We’re going to a call.” A stroke. Nothing to get excited about. Coffee sustains him. He stays clean. Some guys, he said, use Provigil, but that’s prescribed. “For shift-work disorder,” he said.

Not long after Dawkins’s backboard-shattering spree, the league introduced the so-called breakaway rim, which yields to downward pressure and then snaps back to the horizontal, minimizing the potential for destruction. “The first one was an accident, but I wanted to see if I could do it again when I got back to Philadelphia,” Dawkins recalled in the 2004 Times interview, referring to his most smashingly spectacular dunks. “All the fans were hollering, ‘You’ve got to do one for the home crowd,’ so I went ahead and brought it down.

Question: Kathleen talked about Mr. Rasputin in a what?

Kathleen Parthé, the director of Russian studies at the University of Rochester and the author of two books that address village prose, said of Mr. Rasputin in an email, “Like many of Russia’s best-known writers, he was always slightly out of step with the times — too bold in the 1960s and 1970s with his nostalgia for the radiant village past, too critical of the Soviet destruction of the environment around his beloved Lake Baikal, too disdainful of Western-style democracy, too bitter about those he said had brought a millennium-old civilization to an end in 1917.” She added, “As a writer he may have been a spent force, but as a cultural icon who helped legitimize the latest version of Russian authoritarianism,” he was receiving “a very grand send-off.”

Question: Who worries that bodycam footage will not be made public?

In Philadelphia, where officers have fired at suspects at a rate of nearly once each week during the past eight years and where the city has paid out millions of dollars to victims of police brutality, residents have strongly called for officers to be equipped with body cameras. Activists like Ms. Williams say they fear that much of the video will never be seen publicly. They point to the department’s refusal to publicly release surveillance camera footage of the death of Brandon Tate-Brown, 26, who was shot by the police in December after being stopped for driving with his headlights off.

Question: Who told a joke?

“I’ve heard that,” Clinton said. “Who knows? Life is so unpredictable.” (On the Jimmy Kimmel show, Clinton confided that if her husband had not been barred from seeking a third term, he’d have gone for it. And if she ran against him, “would I win? Yeah.”) Thinking about the spouse question a little bit more, Clinton told a joke about a successful businessman and his wife who drive into a gas station where her old boyfriend is working. The husband notes with satisfaction that if she’d married him, she’d be the wife of a gas station attendant. “And then,” Clinton concluded, “the wife says: ‘No, if I’d married him he’d be a big success like you.’”

Question: Mention the two states with the most severe water crises

Willingly overlooking that fact amounts to a fundamental failure of water management that has left states more vulnerable to drought and less prepared to adapt to the effects of climate change. Moreover, it has left them blind to an honest accounting of their total supply. How can anyone plan for the future if there isn’t agreement about something as basic as how much water there actually is? In much of California and Arizona — two of the states with arguably the most severe water crises and water management challenges in the nation — state and local authorities continue to count the sources of water as if they were entirely separate, two distinct bank accounts. “States have their own take on this. Or they choose to not address it at all,” said Stanley A. Leake, a hydrologist with the United States Geological Survey who is a leading expert on properly accounting for the connection between ground and surface waters in the West. “In some cases they pretend that there is no connection.”

Question: Were charges labelled against them true or false?

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: What percentage of people car-pooled in 1980?

The new services come after a long decline of car-pooling. According to a report released by the Census Bureau in August, car-pooling fell to a low of just over 9 percent in 2013, the last year for which figures are available, from nearly 20 percent in 1980. About 76 percent of people who traveled to work drove alone in 2013, according to the report. Christopher Koopman, a research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, gained firsthand experience in the sharing economy. After landing at Reagan National Airport in Washington, he considered the traditional options: taking a taxi or riding on mass transit. In the end, he used UberPool, a recent venture by Uber that offers shared rides on demand. Although the trip to his office took a detour to a hotel to drop off his traveling companion, the price of the ride fell to $8, from $12 if he had ridden solo.

Question: The article likens President Obama's change of strategy to the play of which football player?

But back to the miracle finish last Sunday, and the lesson beyond pro football: It’s not about the miracle, it’s about the finish. Obama has been sleepwalking through the middle part of his presidency. The brutal midterm electoral crushing, with Republicans gaining their largest House majority since Herbert Hoover, slapped him from his stupor. No longer does he care about pleasing the insiders, or playing nice with the opposition, or conforming to the expectations of a lame duck. He said it’s the fourth quarter of his presidency, “and I’m going to play offense.” He’s decided to be Russell Wilson after throwing four interceptions.

Question: What journal did Araeen found and edit?

Born in Pakistan in 1935 and a London resident since 1964, Rasheed Araeen has been an art-world legend since the 1980s, when he founded and edited Third Text, a journal that not only gave a voice to contemporary non-Western and nonwhite artists but also helped initiate an entire rethinking of 20th-century art history. Mr. Araeen also produced some of the most influential writing of the time (I still have his clips from 30 years ago) and organized shows like “The Other Story” in London, which laid the foundation for the concept that modernism, far from being a Western phenomenon, had happened all over the world, on different schedules.

Question: mayor bill de Blasio's housing plan faces opposition in what city?

“We’re going to support it, including the mansion tax,” said Steven Spinola, president of the real estate board. “We’re not happy about everything, but we think it will lead to building more affordable housing.” Mr. de Blasio has also been outspoken on another contentious affordable-housing issue — the need to strengthen rent regulations to preserve the city’s existing affordable-housing stock. His proposals still face a battle in Albany, which has been thrown into turmoil in recent months by the arrest on corruption-related charges of Sheldon Silver, a Democratic assemblyman and former speaker, and Dean G. Skelos, the Republican majority leader in the Senate. Both the 44-year-old 421-a housing program and the rent stabilization law, which governs rents for one million apartments in New York City, are set to expire on June 15.

Question: Newspapers with what large readership have gotten into trouble for how they handle photos of women?

An Irish satirical news source, Waterford Whispers, responded by posting its own “feminist newspaper photoshop,” featuring the same Paris street scene with three female leaders depicted, but no men. Newspapers catering to ultra-Orthodox Jews have been embarrassed before by their handling of news photographs depicting women. In 2011, Di Tzeitung, a Brooklyn-based publication, apologized for digitally altering a photograph to remove Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was then secretary of state, and another woman from a scene in the White House Situation Room.
