Question: what did ben carson state?

Trump could have let the man ask his question and then correct his racist nonsense, without blocking his free speech, which is exactly what McCain did in a similar situation. Instead, he later said it was not his place to defend Obama. As someone who aspires to be president it is his place to defend the truth, but since Trump himself has been the source of so much birther nonsense about Obama, I guess that would be hard. Instead he tweeted: “Christians need support in our country (and around the world), their religious liberty is at stake! Obama has been horrible, I will be great.” And then, like clockwork, Ben Carson saw Trump blurring another civic redline and leapfrogged him. Carson stated, “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation.” So a whole faith community gets delegitimized and another opportunity for someone to courageously stand up for what’s decent is squandered. But it will play well with certain voters. And that is all that matters — until something really bad happens. And then, all of it — the words, tweets, signs and boasts — will be footage for another documentary that ends badly.

Answer: Carson stated, “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation.”

Question: What museum is located at 150 West 17th Street in Chelsea?

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

Question: How much in ticket and pay-per-view sales where there?

Just a few months after what was billed as the Grateful Dead’s last stand — five sold-out stadium shows for some 212,000 fans that grossed more than $60 million in ticket and pay-per-view sales — the band is rising once again, albeit in a slightly fractured arrangement. This weekend, insatiable Deadheads can see all of the group’s so-called core four living members in just two stops: Madison Square Garden, which will host Dead & Company — featuring Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann, joined by the pop singer and guitarist John Mayer, the bassist Oteil Burbridge and the keyboardist Jeff Chimenti — for two sold-out shows on Saturday and Sunday; and at the Capitol Theater, about 30 miles north in Port Chester, N.Y., where the Dead bassist Phil Lesh will play three consecutive nights starting Friday (with another run Nov. 5 to 7). “Only in the world of the Grateful Dead could that happen on Halloween,” said Peter Shapiro, the concert promoter who owns the Capitol and organized this summer’s “Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of Grateful Dead” shows in Chicago and Santa Clara, Calif. The Dead had a penchant for blown-out holiday concerts, he noted, and both locales are “institutional venues” where the full band played dozens of times.

Question: What team shot well and controlled the scoreboard?

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.

Question: Besides showing where soda is most consumed, what did the maps show?

Here’s one for sports fans that our contributor Brendan Nyhan found: a scholarly article with lovely graphics on the structure of basketball defense. This is what the paper said (but don’t let that dissuade you from looking at it): This paper attempts to fill this void, combining spatial and spatio-temporal processes, matrix factorization techniques and hierarchical regression models with player tracking data to advance the state of defensive analytics in the NBA. Margot Sanger-Katz has written a lot on the news that Americans are consuming fewer calories; it’s mainly because they are drinking fewer sugary carbonated beverages. She found these maps of New York City showing where soda is most frequently consumed. The maps also display a host of other economic and sociological factors. Aaron Carroll, who has been writing about a host of nutrition myths for The Upshot, passed on this graphic about the risks of consuming meat.

Question: What inning of the game was Mitchell relieved?

Asked if he had thought the ball was out, Gregorius said, “Until I got robbed, yeah.” Then in the fifth, Mitchell just missed getting his glove on Adam Eaton’s single up the middle. After a wild pitch, Tyler Saladino followed with another grounder up the middle, which gave the White Sox a 3-1 lead and spelled the end for Mitchell, who gave up seven hits and struck out five. Moreno came in for his first appearance since throwing five and a third innings of no-hit relief Tuesday against Texas, a stint that kept him from being returned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for a fresher arm. But it quickly became apparent that Moreno would not repeat that performance. He nicked Jose Abreu on the elbow and then surrendered Cabrera’s home run.

Question: What was the number of the circuit in which the court disagreed?

Mr. Robins sued under a part of the credit law that provides damages of up to $1,000 without proof of direct harm, and he sought to represent a class of people with similar claims. Spokeo responded that Congress did not have the power to create a legal right to sue for plaintiffs who have suffered no direct and concrete injuries. The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit last year disagreed. “A plaintiff can suffer a violation of the statutory right without suffering actual damages,” a unanimous three-judge panel ruled.

Question: How many units of affordable housing have been promised to be built or preserved?

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: What was the anthropologist's correct last name?

An article on Wednesday about research suggesting that chimpanzees have the cognitive ability to cook misstated, at one point, the surname of the Harvard anthropologist who hypothesized that cooking has driven changes in human evolution. As the article correctly noted elsewhere, he is Richard Wrangham, not Wrangell. BUSINESS DAY An article on Tuesday about a decision by the airbag manufacturer Takata to continue using a chemical compound deemed dangerous by experts misstated the point at which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began receiving complaints about rupturing Takata airbags. It was in 2001, not “almost 15 years ago.” The error was repeated in articles on Sept. 15, 2014, and on May 20, which referred to the complaints as having started in 2000, rather than 2001. • An article on May 23 about the environmental threat posed by plastic microbeads used as exfoliating agents in personal care products misstated the source of PHA, a naturally occurring plastic that one company is developing as a biodegradable substitute. It is produced by bacteria, not by mushrooms. SPORTS

Question: What does the park run along?

The other day I walked part of the 606, Chicago’s down-home twist on the chic High Line in New York: a 2.7-mile elevated park along a derelict freight track, wending east-west across a mix of industrial and residential areas. What I saw wasn’t sleek or even especially beautiful, with plantings that need time to grow, a little too much concrete and tall steel fencing. But it connects ground-level neighborhood parks and belongs to a larger, humanizing campaign by Chicago’s mayor, Rahm Emanuel, to green up gritty areas of the city. Young mothers push strollers; elderly couples walk arm in arm; joggers and speeding bicyclists hog the pathways. Rough, ready, community-friendly, the 606 speaks to Chicago’s heart.

Question: How many bedrooms open to a second balcony?

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.

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.

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. <hl> Three <hl> smaller bedrooms open onto a second balcony overlooking the lake, while a fourth has a small balcony to the front.

Question: What is the updated version of Unfished Buisness: Women Men Work Family called?

Ms. Slaughter has turned The Atlantic article into a book: “Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family” (Random House). If Ms. Sandberg was primarily focused on actions, Ms. Slaughter is still preoccupied with attitudes. Although there are plenty of policy recommendations, mostly seen before elsewhere, the emphasis is on changing minds, not laws. An entire chapter, for instance, is devoted to the way we talk, which includes a discussion of whether the terms “juggling” and “balance” are offensive and concludes with Ms. Slaughter’s preference for the awkward phrase “work/life fit.” Ms. Slaughter describes the book’s ambition as making us “come together as women and men” to “change how we think, how we talk, how we plan and work and vote.” “Unfinished Business” retains the form and tone of the shorter original but adds extensive excerpts from the “thousands of readers” who Ms. Slaughter says either wrote her directly or otherwise commented on the article. In addition, Ms. Slaughter went on a “listening tour,” giving hundreds of speeches she describes as a form of “call and response research.”

Question: Who is a lawyer for Spokeo?

Justice Kagan said that false statements may be damage enough. “Why isn’t the dissemination of false information about you in a credit report,” she asked, “perfectly sufficient if Congress says that’s a concrete injury?” Andrew J. Pincus, a lawyer for Spokeo, said suits should be allowed only if plaintiffs can show the concrete injury generally required to establish standing to sue. He gave two examples: harm to credit or a missed job opportunity. Justice Kagan responded that people almost never know why a bank or potential employer turned them down. “I mean,” she said, “it’s actually the quintessential kind of injury that you will never be able to detect and surely not to prove.”

Question: What type of center was created to foster discussion between neuroscientists and psychoanalysts?

Am I the only psychoanalyst who is tired of being told by others what I think and how I practice? Richard A. Friedman’s fascinating article begins with a casual dismissal of psychoanalysts as closed to new developments in science. Nothing could be further from the truth. The New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute many years ago developed a neuropsychoanalysis center to foster discussion between neuroscientists and psychoanalysts. Most of the practicing analysts I know are eager to learn about the newest developments in biological psychiatry, neuroscience, developmental and experimental psychology, special education, sociology and occupational therapy. We have already entered a new era of multidisciplinary collaboration, so that we can understand and integrate the mutual influences of biology, environment and the development of the inner life with greater complexity and apply the new understanding to help our patients. The old, easy clichés about Freudian analysts stop us from moving forward. Can we stop throwing rocks and talk to one another?

Question: What day of the week did Bayern Munich lose on?

LONDON — Where now for Pep Guardiola and Bayern Munich? The coach and the club have been dodging the wrong questions this week as the club was blasted out of the Champions League by a Spanish opponent for the second straight year. Tuesday’s victory was rendered Pyrrhic from the moment that the Barcelona front three sliced open Bayern’s defense twice in the first half, allowing the Catalan club to rest its important players for other contests to come. It was right for Guardiola and Munich’s chairman, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, to say that their team went out with dignity against “probably the best side in the world.”

Question: What does Mr. Venable recommend to prevent this?

Co-buyers should be aware that the mortgage underwriter will base their eligibility on the lower of their credit scores, just as with married couples jointly applying for a loan. They should carefully consider the stability of each other’s income, and how long one buyer could cover the mortgage if the other fell short. Mr. Venable noted that if one buyer loses a job and cannot pay, resulting in a delinquency or default, both buyers’ credit would suffer. (The same principles apply if more than two friends are buying together.) Mr. Venable also recommends planning upfront for how home repairs, insurance and other expenses would be managed in a detailed co-ownership agreement.

Question: Who portrays a stark contrast to the mayor's sober mien?

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.

Question: There is diversity in ballet now, what dancers are changing that?

Finally a major New York ballet company has a black swan. Misty Copeland’s promotion to principal dancer at American Ballet Theater this summer put ballet back on popular culture’s map and ushered in a conversation about diversity in ballet. So what now? Classical ballet is still overwhelmingly white, but over the past few years diversity has finally become a priority. On the stages of American Ballet Theater and New York City Ballet black, Asian, Latino and multiracial dancers are beginning to change the face of ballet where it matters most: Lincoln Center, home base to both companies.

I took my sweet little dog for a walk. He got agitated by a cat sitting on a porch, pulled free of me and raced toward the house, knocking over (and breaking) a large ceramic urn.

Question: What should co-borrowers reveal before getting a mortgage?

This type of arrangement can potentially cut buyers’ individual expenses, while providing them with a potential equity gain and a mortgage interest tax deduction. But these ventures can also end badly if buyers assume that friendship alone will see them through any future difficulty. Before applying for a mortgage, the co-borrowers should fully reveal their income, debt and credit status to each other, said Mike Venable, a senior vice president and head of underwriting for retail bank operations at TD Bank. “It definitely needs to be someone you really trust,” he said.

Question: Which has replaced movie stars as the main reason why people buy movie tickets?

So schools have evolved to place more emphasis on the collaborative filmmaking process. “Incoming students may know how to operate a camera,” said Bob Gazzale, president of the nonprofit American Film Institute in Los Angeles, whose conservatory counts directors like David Lynch and Terrence Malick as graduates. “What we teach them is how to work together to tell a story.” Schools are also changing to keep pace with the entertainment industry, which is unrecognizable compared to the days when Martin Scorsese was a film student at New York University and Michael Bay at Wesleyan. Computer-generated visual effects have replaced movie stars as the primary reason the masses buy tickets. China is rapidly becoming Hollywood’s No. 1 box office market. Netflix is now making movies at almost the same clip as Paramount. Big studios now expect filmmakers to help create spinoff video games. And television has stolen much of film’s cultural and financial heat. To keep up, administrators have broadened their curriculums. Film school used to essentially mean learning to direct, write and shoot a movie. Now students go to study television writing and production, digital media, computer animation or video game design. If a picture moves, there is a program for it. At the film school of the University of Texas, Austin, a class offers instruction in “virtual realities, cyborg identities, multimedia applications, technological convergence, digital divide and transnational politics.” Creating entertainment for an increasingly diverse audience — Hispanic moviegoers now drive the North American box office, according to industry data — is a growing focus in film schools across the board.

Question: Who was dismayed by the judge's decision?

Defense lawyers had argued in court filings that the charges should be dismissed in part because marijuana’s Schedule I classification was arbitrary and unconstitutional. They asserted that the 10th Amendment barred the federal government from superseding state laws legalizing marijuana for medicinal use. Judge Mueller ruled that any adjustments to the law were better left to Congress. “This is not the court and this is not the time,” she said Wednesday, according to a report by The Associated Press. A written ruling will be issued by the end of the week. The decision dismayed advocates of marijuana legalization.

Question: Where are the Eagles ranked in the NFL in terms of average points scored per game?

Eagles (1-2) at Redskins (1-2) 1 p.m. Line: Eagles by 3 Coach Chip Kelly may have amazing offensive schemes, but thus far his players haven’t been able to execute them. Sam Bradford has looked like a bad fit at quarterback and has spent most of the season throwing his running backs short passes that get nowhere. The team has had only two plays of 25 yards or more, and the humdrum execution has been reflected on the scoreboard, with the Eagles averaging 19.3 points a game, tied for 21st in the N.F.L. Relying on the other team to trot out an even worse offense does not seem like a great strategy, but it should work this week for Philadelphia.

Answer: 21st

Eagles (1-2) at Redskins (1-2) 1 p.m. Line: Eagles by 3 Coach Chip Kelly may have amazing offensive schemes, but thus far his players haven’t been able to execute them.

Question: What did West's bid help Manley do?

With the deal counted out, South cashed his diamond ace and club queen, bringing everyone down to three cards. Declarer held the heart K-8-7, West the heart J-10-6 and dummy the heart 9-5-3. South led a low heart from his hand to hold West to one more trick. Manley took two spades, three hearts, one diamond and three clubs. Plus 150 was a near top on the board. West’s intervention with 4-4 in the majors at unfavorable vulnerability isn’t recommended. But it could have worked well if East had bid one diamond, not one spade. As it went, though, West’s bid helped Manley to read the deal perfectly.

Question: What's the best way to describe the portraits made by Tempest in terms of timing?

Writing in language that is, at once, musical and street tough, cadenced and conversational, Ms. Tempest creates portraits that feel both immediate and finely etched. There’s Kevin, “steady and plain,” and his restless wife, Jane, who’s “ready for change,” and Brian, unhappily married to Mary, with an angry son named Clive. Brian has an affair with Jane, who gives birth to his child Thomas — who, as family dramas so often play out in myths — will have a fateful encounter with Clive. Tommy, gifted and hungry, falls in love with Gloria — “the kind of girl whose scars run deep” — but even as he starts to achieve his dream of becoming an artist, he risks losing everything he’s dreamed of out of carelessness and self-absorption.

Question: Who was barely starting to accept Jews?

RBG: There were many firms who put up sign-up sheets that said, “Men Only.” And I had three strikes against me. First, I was Jewish, and the Wall Street firms were just beginning to accept Jews. Then I was a woman. But the killer was my daughter Jane, who was 4 by then. PG: They didn’t even hide why they were rejecting you? GS: No. I tried to get a much less prestigious job, at Time magazine. And they made it very clear that women researched, and men wrote. No exceptions, in spite of Clare Boothe Luce. PG: You remind me of my grandmother’s line: Rejection is the best thing that can happen. It pushes us. There might not be a Ms. magazine or Notorious R.B.G. without it.

Question: Which craftspeople located the specialized pipes for St. Joseph's organ?

That was far from a simple task. When Monsignor Harrington started work at St. Joseph in 2008, the organ had not been played in nearly 50 years. Dust clogged the ranks and dirt marred the case. Plumbers found the pipes for the voix humaine stop, and joked that they didn’t look as if they could carry water. But the Peragallos have burnished the facade to a subtle glory, resurrecting the old instrument’s virtues and adding new voices to its three manuals.

Question: The premiere of the new movie by this filmmaker will happen after which event?

The world this award-winning 72-year-old Swedish filmmaker creates is an indelible one. Populated by pasty-faced men in suits and assorted other hapless souls, his last three features have unfolded like a series of blackout sketches in what resemble preserved dioramas of life. In his newest, “A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence,” a man drops dead in the capacious cafeteria of a cruise ship, leading the cashier to offer up the man’s tray of food and drink. In the back of the room, a diner’s hand shyly goes up: He’ll take the beer. “Pigeon,” as Mr. Andersson has referred to it, opens June 3 at Film Forum, preceded by a retrospective at the Museum of Arts and Design showing the other two films in Mr. Anderson’s so-called “Living” trilogy as well as shorts. Each shot in the features has the same deadpan, uncanny look, opening on a deep-focus view of some room or bar, viewed slightly askew, with muted gray or beige walls or sidewalks.

Question: Who was surprised to see Sandy in a traditional grandmother role?

Emily was surprised to see her mother so at ease in the traditional role of Felix’s bubbe (Yiddish for “grandmother”). As a parent in the 1970s, Sandy turned every interaction with her children into a political act. During story time, she would go through their picture books with a bottle of Wite-Out and a Magic Marker, changing a hero’s name from male to female, revising plot lines, adding long hair or breasts to some of the drawings. Story time was a different experience with Felix. Sandy would cuddle with the baby and turn pages. If she couldn’t remember the word for “zebra” or “lion,” she wouldn’t fuss about it. “Oh, it’s some animal,” she would say.

Question: What race is overindexed 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.”

Question: What are the purpose of some scenes?

Plot has always mattered in comedy, of course, but not as much as jokes. In his influential screenwriting guide “Story,” Robert McKee argues that comedy, unlike drama, “allows the writer to halt narrative drive” with scenes that serve no purpose other than getting laughs. In television, sitcoms have traditionally relied on thin narratives stretched over seasons (Will Sam and Diane get together on “Cheers”? Will Jim and Pam on “The Office”?) that make it easy to follow the story from week to week.

Question: When people cut down on meat, of what did they eat more?

So, as the guidelines have recommended cutting down on meat, especially red meat, this meant that many people began to increase their consumption of carbohydrates. Decades later, it’s not hard to find evidence that this might have been a bad move. Many now believe that excessive carbohydrate consumption may be contributing to the obesity and diabetes epidemics. A Cochrane Review of all randomized controlled trials of reduced or modified dietary fat interventions found that replacing fat with carbohydrates does not protect even against cardiovascular problems, let alone death. Interestingly, the new dietary recommendations may acknowledge this as well, dropping the recommendation to limit overall fat consumption in favor of a more refined recommendation to limit only saturated fat. Even that recommendation is hotly contested by some, though. The committee is also bending a bit on salt, putting less emphasis on the 1,500-milligram daily limit on sodium for special populations, in light of the mounting evidence that too little sodium may be as bad as too much, if not worse.

Question: How high could the cost allegedly be of developing a drug from scratch?

The expense of prescription drugs has come to the forefront in the presidential campaign with proposals by Bernie Sanders and Mrs. Clinton to rein in drug prices. Patent law also plays a big role in the debate over drug prices, though it is not directly addressed by the two Democratic candidates. Drug manufacturers say that they need to recoup the high cost of drug development by charging high prices during the period they hold effective monopolies. A recent estimate, though contested, put the price of developing a drug from scratch as high as $2.6 billion. Other estimates suggest it could be as low as $161 million. Either way, it’s a lot of money. Without regulatory constraints, results from such an investment could be used by anyone to develop and market drugs.

Question: How many intelligence streams does the company mentioned in the passage have?

That proliferation of start-ups has led to a new complaint from computer security chiefs: overlapping information — sometimes as much as 40 percent — in the reports they receive, none of which is cheap. ISight charges customers based on size, and while it does not disclose pricing, some customers say they pay $500,000 or more annually for the company’s services, as much as five times what low-end services charge. ISight makes 90 percent of its revenue from subscriptions to its six intelligence streams, each focused on a particular threat, including cyberespionage and cybercrime.
