Question: What did Cindi Leive love when she was Young?

A. I loved reading and writing, and I had what I guess you would describe as a “magazine brain” from Day 1. When I was 8, I decided to publish a literary magazine, and I would solicit contributions from all the kids on my street. They were a little less interested in the project than I was, so I ended up having to fill most of the magazine myself. Tell me about your parents. I was lucky to have two great mother figures in my life. My mom was a biochemist — she was one of just a few women in leadership roles at the National Institutes of Health — and really loved her work. She would come home and be talking about lipopolysaccharides and cell membranes at the dinner table. What I took away from that was that it’s an amazing gift to have a job that you love. I also have an incredible stepmother who gave up her career to move to the United States to marry my dad, and I saw in her a woman who was completely happy and fulfilled in her life and not working full time outside the home. That made me more open-minded about all the different choices you can make in your life. So the whole “mommy wars” thing really sets my teeth on edge. Were there any expressions they would repeat often around the dinner table?

Question: How much does a family of 4 with 2 grandparents pay to apply?

But critics have taken aim at the rollout. Henley & Partners was initially awarded the exclusive rights to market the program and process the applicants, collecting fees in two ways. A family of four with two minor children and two grandparents pays Henley about €135,000 to apply; the government pays Henley €26,000 to handle that application.

Question: Which area operates a policy that creates "historic districts" within it?

The Stonewall is not architecturally distinguished and would not earn landmark status on aesthetic grounds, several speakers noted. The Stonewall was already part of the city-designated Greenwich Village Historic District, and it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. But speakers at the hearing said the individual city landmark designation was necessary to preserve the Stonewall and recognize its historic importance. “It must be protected against rapacious developers who would destroy the history of this sacred place and all it represents,” Letitia James, the city’s public advocate, said.

Question: Who is Bayern's goalkeeper?

Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Müller have been harder to stop than just about any other strikers in Europe this season, and Douglas Costa, Munich’s new Brazilian winger, has bamboozled many a defense with his combination of speed, sorcery and delivery. For much of Tuesday’s game, Bayern looked like what it is: The most attack-minded, fluent and controlling team in soccer. And when Arsenal did break through, about 30 minutes in, Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was able to make a wonderful save as he dove low to his left to block a header by Theo Walcott from six yards out. Had Walcott’s header been more decisive, the keeper might never have reached the ball. But then again, had Lewandowski shot earlier than he did late in the second half, then Arsenal’s goalkeeper, Petr Cech, would not have been able to race from his line and make a bold interception with his legs.

Question: What street did the attack happen on?

The attack occurred around 8:20 a.m., when the victim, a student at the private Whitestone Academy, was “accosted from behind,” Chief Boyce said. She was carrying a bag and walking east on 13th Avenue near 147th Street in the Whitestone neighborhood, he said. The assailant was wearing a hood over his head, and was “wearing a surgical mask and he has surgical gloves on,” Chief Boyce said. Detectives retrieved video images of the attacker that showed him running away. Carolyn Rutigliano, who lives about a block from where the attack happened, said she heard the girl scream. It lasted “about 15 seconds,” she said, and an ambulance came shortly afterward. The police have not been able to identify him from the video, Chief Boyce said. The department released the video in the hopes that someone might be able to identify him.

Question: Who went with Dempsey to the M.L.S?

The United States national team coach, Jurgen Klinsmann, has frequently said that he hopes his players push themselves to play in the best leagues — comments that have, at times, drawn the ire of M.L.S. officials. Despite those wishes, many prominent Americans have left European clubs to sign multimillion-dollar deals with M.L.S. Dempsey returned in 2013, and he was soon followed by Michael Bradley, Jermaine Jones, Altidore, Mix Diskerud and Sacha Kljestan. Johannsson’s move, especially if he earns regular playing time and continues to score goals, could be good news for his national team career. In 2013, Johannsson, who was born in Alabama but raised in Iceland, changed his international allegiance to the United States after years of representing Iceland at the youth level. Since then, he has consistently been part of the national team, including the World Cup squad in 2014, when injuries limited him to one appearance. The move to the Bundesliga could signify a shift, and help Johannsson press Dempsey, 32, and Altidore, 25, on Klinsmann’s depth chart heading into qualifying for the 2018 World Cup. Werder Bremen should be able to use Johannsson right away; it transferred the Argentine forward Franco Di Santo, its top scorer last season, with 13 goals, to Schalke on July 25.

Question: Why does Mr. Sharif say he pays so little for his electricity?

He blamed the government for keeping energy and water prices low, saying that he paid only $270 a month for his electricity bill, covering his huge pump and 20 employees. “It’s ridiculous,” he said. “And while we have no water, its price is also dirt cheap.” His investment has paid off, Mr. Sharif, 44, acknowledged. “I have bought myself another 15 years,” he said as he walked among freshly picked pistachio trees. That is just enough to last to his retirement. “After that,” he said, “this place, like everything else here, is done for.”

Question: How big of a penalty have law enforcement authorities saddled Deutsche Bank with in the last week?

Regulators around the world, but especially in the United States, are demanding that all banks reduce risk. Deutsche Bank was particularly vulnerable because of its large exposure to businesses that can be lucrative in good times but toxic in bad, like derivatives contracts. The bank said on Monday that it would stop offering some kinds of derivatives and retreat from other risk businesses like commodities trading. Meanwhile, aggressive law enforcement authorities last week extracted a $2.5 billion penalty from Deutsche Bank for misconduct related to an interest rate rigging scandal. The penalty, as well as criticism from regulators who said the bank failed to recognize signs of misconduct, damaged the reputation of the bank as well as Mr. Jain, who was head of Deutsche Bank’s investment bank operations in London, where most of the mischief took place.

Question: How much did the euro fall?

The data also caused the dollar to rise sharply against its major currency counterparts. The euro fell to $1.07, its lowest level in six months, and the dollar rose against the Japanese yen to 123.19. The stronger dollar caused a sell-off in commodities as well. Benchmark crude oil fell 91 cents, or 2 percent, to settle at $44.29 a barrel. Brent crude, which is used to price international oils, fell 56 cents, or 1.2 percent, to settle at $47.42 a barrel. Gold fell $16.50, or 1.5 percent, to $1,087.70 an ounce. Silver fell 29 cents, or 2 percent, to $14.69 an ounce. High-grade copper fell a penny, or 0.6 percent, to settle at $2.242 a pound.

Question: Where was the photo of  Mr Xu Shared

With a dearth of information from the government, the market mayhem — and the crackdown that has followed — has created a ripe environment for rumor. On Monday, the website of another official media outlet, China National Radio, published an article from Xinhua stating that an associate of Mr. Xu had been shot and killed by the police while trying to escape. The report was quickly retracted with no explanation and was not available on Xinhua’s website. Later in the day, Xinhua reported on one of its social media accounts that its name and that of one of its reporters were used falsely to spread a “rumor” that the police had killed Mr. Xu’s associate. Xinhua reported the incident to the police. A picture purportedly of Mr. Xu’s arrest, with him in handcuffs and wearing what looked like a white lab coat, was posted on the website of Sina.com, one of the most popular Internet portals in China.

Question: Who is the coach for Arizona?

4:25 p.m. Line: Cardinals by 7 ½ The Cardinals sound like a setup for a feel-good Hollywood movie: A 62-year-old coach with a 36-year-old quarterback and a 32-year-old wide receiver who are going against opponents who grew up with posters of them on their walls. But Bruce Arians, Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald have done more than enough this season to justify General Manager Steve Keim’s comparing them, during a radio appearance, to fine wine. They may have gray in their beards, but they also are the driving forces behind the highest-scoring offense in the N.F.L. Add to that a defense that intercepted four of Colin Kaepernick’s first 10 passes last week — returning two for touchdowns — and it is easy to view Arizona as a title contender. But anyone who watched last season’s implosion knows the team can go only as far as Palmer’s surgically repaired legs can take it, so some caution against a hard-hitting Rams team may be in order. One bad hit could take this movie from “As Good as It Gets” to “Wild Hogs.”

Question: What position did Pascal Dupuis play?

It never happened, thanks to a mix of injuries, bad luck and a handful of flameouts in the playoffs. The shine on one of hockey’s biggest success stories has dimmed. Dan Bylsma and Ray Shero, the coach and general manager who helped make the Penguins one of the league’s must-see attractions, are gone. Forward Pascal Dupuis, long the glue in a dressing room of diverse personalities, retired abruptly last week because of lingering health concerns. Defenseman Rob Scuderi, brought in more than two years ago to provide the blue line with some needed grit, became a pariah as his game deteriorated and was shipped off to Chicago on Monday night for Trevor Daley. The owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle are shopping the club.

Question: Who did the rhino lose its horn to?

Perhaps it seems inefficient to put so much effort into helping individual animals, but the counterweight to that perception is that many of their problems are caused by humans. The rhinoceros, for instance, lost its horn to poachers. Part of the beauty of the presentation is that it lets you work out the ethical issues for yourself rather than beating you over the head with them. That restraint sets “Operation Wild” apart from its cousins on basic cable, where outlets like Animal Planet and the National Geographic Channel have been turning veterinarians into TV stars for years: “Dr. Oakley, Yukon Vet,” “The Incredible Dr. Pol,” “Emergency Vets.” A new entry comes along next Saturday on Animal Planet: “Dr. Jeff, Rocky Mountain Vet.” The differences between that show and “Operation Wild” are pronounced. “Dr. Jeff” is about a Colorado veterinarian named Jeff Young, who has a sprawling practice that includes a mobile clinic. It’s typical of these shows: heavy on cats and dogs, but with a smattering of more exotic domesticated animals. In the premiere, for instance, a camel is gelded.

It’s typical of these shows: heavy on cats and dogs, but with a smattering of more exotic domesticated animals. In the premiere, for instance, a camel is gelded.

Question: Who was Sandy Phillips' daughter?

CENTENNIAL, Colo. —  Inside Courtroom 201, the families of the dead and wounded watched in taut silence on Thursday afternoon as the judge shuffled through a stack of verdict forms containing the fate of James E. Holmes, the gunman who slipped into a Colorado movie theater in 2012 and opened fire on their sons and daughters, friends and loved ones. As the judge began reading the verdicts — guilty, guilty, guilty — repeated 165 times over an entire hour, for each count of murder and attempted murder, the families sobbed quietly, clutched one another’s shoulders and nodded along to a recitation of guilt that many had been waiting nearly three years to hear. Sandy Phillips wrapped herself tightly in the green scarf that her slain daughter, Jessica Ghawi, had loved. A father whose son was killed patted the arm of Joshua Nowlan, who was wounded and now walks with a cane.

Answer: Jessica Ghawi,

Question: How many times has the defense shown a photo of the ADX?

The ADX is the toughest prison in the federal system, and the defense has twice shown an aerial photo of the facility, covered with snow in the shadow of the Rockies, appearing so remote that it could be in Siberia. Mr. Mellin spent a great deal of time suggesting that the prison was in fact closer to civilization than was evident in the photo. The prosecutor also suggested that Mr. Tsarnaev could eventually be transferred to a less secure facility, but under defense questioning, Mr. Bezy batted away that notion: Mr. Tsarnaev would not be transferred, he said, because other inmates “would want to do him great bodily harm.” At the ADX, he would be in solitary confinement 23 hours a day.

Question: who did not approve of the white buck shoes ?

Mary Morris Gamble Booth, class of ’50, traveled to Paris with Sweet Briar’s first junior-year program, which drew students of both sexes from across the country, including, that year, 15 Yale men. It was 1948 when they set sail, and Ms. Booth recounted how one of the Yale men kept trying to sneak up to the first-class deck from third class. “He was wearing white bucks and the British crew did not approve of white buck shoes, so he gave himself away,” she recalled. She said she was not quite paying attention when Secretary of State George Marshall articulated his Marshall Plan at Reid Hall, Sweet Briar’s Left Bank headquarters. Nevertheless, she ended up working for the program in Washington. “This year, I’m chairman of our 65th reunion,” Ms. Booth, 87, said sadly. “When they asked me last year, I said: ‘Sure, how hard can that be? Last year I think four people showed up for their 65th.’ Of course, this year is going to be a mob scene. It’s sort of an alpha and omega. Our reunion, and the last graduation.”

Question: Minnesota held off a furious attempt and held their lead to how many points late in the game?

Ricky Rubio tied a career high with 17 assists for the Timberwolves, who held off a late charge from the Jazz that cut a 15-point deficit to 6 even as Utah was playing without Derrick Favors. Trey Burke scored all 23 of his points in the second half for Utah. The Jazz have been gutted by injuries to much of their foundation, including Rudy Gobert, Dante Exum and Alec Burks. Relying on replacements for them and for Favors has left the team playing sloppy basketball of late. SPURS 112, SUNS 79 LaMarcus Aldridge had 21 points and 12 rebounds, and San Antonio easily won its 19th straight home game to start the season. The Spurs also extended their franchise-record home winning streak to 28 straight games dating to last season.

Question: What team was Syndergaard pitching against?

Syndergaard then gave the type of performance that defines a player’s season, the kind that can instill confidence in a rookie and propel him to new heights. He suffocated the Dodgers, holding them to two hits and one run in six innings. He pitched even with Kershaw, perhaps even better, and gave the Mets’ porous offense the chance to squeak out a 2-1 win. Syndergaard pitched so well that, afterward, a reporter asked him if this start had stamped him as one of the best young pitchers in baseball, and he did not scoff at the question. “I hope so,” Syndergaard said. “But, I mean, I certainly don’t think I’m there yet to carry the name as Clayton Kershaw does. But hopefully I’ll get there.”

Question: How do consumers benefit from cheaper energy?

The weaker euro is a mixed blessing for the struggling eurozone economy. European exporters will gain a competitive advantage against foreign rivals because their products will become cheaper for customers who pay in dollars or other currencies that tend to track with the dollar. A weaker euro could also push up inflation — a desirable outcome at the moment — because foreign goods would become more expensive in euro terms. With the collapse of the crude oil market adding to the downward pressure, economists expect an official report next Wednesday to show that consumer prices fell at an annual rate of about 0.1 percent in December, down from the rate of 0.3 percent in November. However, a weaker euro also has negative effects in the eurozone. Because oil is usually priced in dollars, a weak euro cancels out some of the economic benefit from the recent drop in oil prices. Cheaper energy is good for companies because it reduces production costs for factories. Consumers benefit because they pay less for fuel and can spend the money on other things.

Question: What does Paige Decker compare her constant headaches to?

Paige Decker sustained a career-ending concussion in November 2013 when she was playing for Yale and was blindsided by a check that sent her head crashing to the ice. Decker has visited more than 40 physicians throughout North America, searching to alleviate the daily pains that saturate her nerves and muscles. She often leaves only with misdiagnoses and thousands of dollars in bills that her insurance does not cover. She compared her constant headaches to barbed wire constricting her brain. Decker, 23, left a consulting job in Boston a year ago because of her health. She is largely confined to her parents’ house in Connecticut.

Question: It's lowest since June 2010, to what amount did the euro fall against the dollar?

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 does Owen Jones do for a living?

The right-wing Sun, still Britain’s most popular newspaper, said in an editorial that “if there are possible votes in it, Miliband’s there — spouting off in a comical Mockney accent,” a fake Cockney accent, “about sticking it to the tax-dodging corporations.” Prime Minister David Cameron, the Conservative Party leader, said earlier: “Russell Brand is a joke. Ed Miliband, to hang out with Russell Brand, he’s a joke.” But Mr. Miliband was unbowed. He told reporters, “I will do anything and engage with anyone to try and persuade people to vote.” And his supporters, including the Guardian commentator Owen Jones, praised his effort to reach those Britons who feel alienated by politicians and the system in general. In a coda to the interview, Mr. Brand praised Mr. Miliband for being “prepared to come round here and talk to us.”

Question: What is the name of the red-tailed hawk?

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

Question: What did people at the shelter eat?

On Monday, the fire leapt across Highway 20, embers blowing from treetop to treetop, dismaying the firefighters, who had hoped to contain the blaze to one side of the road. The ability of a fire to keep catching — called its probability of ignition — is assessed by fire experts. The Rocky Fire has a probability of ignition of 100 percent, almost unheard-of when the tinder is forest and scrub, as it is here. “That’s something I’ve never seen,” Captain Oatman said. In the gymnasium of nearby Middletown High School, a few evacuees were sleeping on green cots in an impromptu Red Cross shelter, one of two in the area. In the school’s theater, about a dozen people ate a meal of chicken and linguine, occasionally rising to scan a large printout of the day’s fire map on the wall, anxiously checking how close the angry red blotch was to their homes.

Question: What legislative branch of the United States government is this letter targeted towards?

Iran is a major regional power. Keeping it fully within the structures of the Nonproliferation Treaty is an important element in building the rule of law in a region that is being torn apart by national, religious and local conflict. We very much hope that our legislative colleagues in the United States Congress, in their deliberations on these issues, will bear in mind the multilateral nature of the agreement, the value of sustaining that coalition for its successful implementation, and the views that we have expressed. We trust also that they appreciate that these views are shared by a majority of the United States’ most loyal allies, including the members of the European Union and the European members of NATO.

Question: What did the ruling against Microsoft find?

As powerful as Microsoft looked at the time, officials missed ways in which it was vulnerable. For starters, they didn’t anticipate the rise of mobile devices. The 1999 ruling against Microsoft found there were “no products, nor are there likely to be any in the near future” that people around the world could use as “substitutes” for Windows computers. In fact, within a few years, unexpected rivals began making such substitutes. In 2007, Apple released the iPhone, and soon after, Google released the Android operating system, which Samsung, HTC, Motorola and other manufacturers used to take the smartphone global and mainstream.

Question: The building at 1156 Avenue of the Americas was owned since when?

Q. Your next makeover is at 1156 Avenue of the Americas.  A. That’s a building that we’ve owned since 1999. I was looking at the building and I said, well, if this building was for sale now and one of the major brokers had it on the market it would come with a high-gloss book and it would show all of the possibilities a buyer could do with the building. So I thought there’s no reason we shouldn’t do it. We own it. We could do what a broker would say could be done. It’s about an 84,000-square-foot building, so it’s rather on the small side, and on that we’re spending $4 million. Q. What’s your occupancy rate portfoliowide?  A. We’re over 96 percent. We have a high renewal rate as well — in excess of 70 percent.

Question: Which competition did Nishikori compete in last year?

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

Question: What did Dr. Mapstone tell Sandy the amnestic M.C.I. would become within 10 years?

The next month, Sandy’s husband, Daryl, from whom she had been amicably separated for 15 years, drove her from Ithaca to the University of Rochester Medical Center for cognitive testing by a neuropsychologist named Mark Mapstone. Mapstone showed Sandy a line drawing and asked her to copy it, and then to draw it from memory 10 minutes later. He read her a list of words and had her recall as many as she could. He gave her two numbers and two letters and asked her to rearrange them in a particular order: low letter, high letter, low number, high number. Thank goodness that last one wasn’t timed, she thought to herself, as she focused all her mental energy on the task. She felt as gleeful as a kid who had earned a gold star when Mapstone said, “Yes, that’s right.” After three hours, Mapstone gave a preliminary diagnosis: amnestic mild cognitive impairment. At first Sandy was relieved — he had said mild, hadn’t he? — but then she caught the look on his face. This is not a good thing, Mapstone told her gently; most cases of amnestic M.C.I. progress to full-blown Alzheimer’s disease within 10 years. When Sandy went back to the waiting room to meet Daryl, she was weeping uncontrollably. Between sobs, she explained the diagnosis and the inevitable decline on the horizon. She felt terror at the prospect of becoming a hollowed-out person with no memory, mind or sense of identity, as well as fury that she was powerless to do anything but endure it. With Alzheimer’s disease, she would write, it is “extraordinarily difficult for one’s body to die in tandem with the death of one’s self.” That day at Mapstone’s office, she vowed that she would figure out a way to take her own life before the disease took it from her. Later that month, Sandy sat down in her upstairs study — painted a rich burgundy, as the rest of the house was, to make the sprawling old place feel cozy — and looked at her Mac desktop computer screen. She had some trepidation about her plan to keep a journal of her own deterioration. But she opened a new document, gave it a file name — “Memoir” — and began to type. She tried to describe the maddening capriciousness of “a mind that could be so alive one moment with thought and feeling building toward a next step and then someone erases the blackboard. It’s all gone and I can’t even reconstruct what the topic was. It’s just gone. And I sit with the dark, the blank.”

Question: Who broke up with Denise?

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

Question: Who is the plaintiff in the case?

Assemblywoman Deborah J. Glick, a Democrat whose district includes the area and who was a plaintiff in the case, said the decision “puts the limited open space that we jealously guard and protect totally at risk everywhere in the city.” Andrew Berman, the executive director of the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, said his organization was consulting its lawyers about any other legal recourse that might stop or alter the expansion. “We’re already suffering from an extreme over-concentration of N.Y.U.-related uses,” Mr. Berman said. “Thousands of additional people and millions of additional square feet of construction is eventually going to make the Village feel like a company town.”

Question: What building houses Mr. Cardona's business?

Mr. Cardona said it was “unrealistic” to expect applicants to spend too much time in Malta.

Question: Where was the Giants game moved?

Coughlin called Beckham “emotional” and said curbing his on-field excesses was an ongoing process. Disciplining Beckham could not have been easy for the N.F.L., which moved the Giants’ next game, in Minnesota, to Sunday night from its original 1 p.m. scheduled start, in part to feature Beckham in prime time. In that game, the Giants may be trying to keep their playoff hopes alive. Just last week, Beckham received the most votes of any wide receiver from fans in the league’s Pro Bowl balloting. A Sunday night appearance would also have put Beckham in a highlighted spot for fantasy football contestants nationwide.
