Question: What did he average?

In the N.C.A.A. tournament, Trice has averaged 19.8 points a game, an increase from a season average of 14.8 entering the tournament. The seventh-seeded Spartans will play Duke, the top seed from the South Region, in the national semifinals Saturday in Indianapolis. Asked to explain Trice’s jump in production, Izzo grinned and said, “The bigger the game, the more often you want the ball in Travis’s hands.” When his two free throws dropped with 10 seconds left Sunday for his 16th and 17th points, Trice allowed himself a small smile. But when the game ended, he collapsed to the floor. “That’s the first time I’ve ever seen Travis cry,” said Dawson, who has been his teammate for many seasons. Julie Trice said: “That wasn’t like him. But I was kind of happy to see it. I was saying, ‘Let it go, baby.’ ” As he lay on the court, Trice was absolutely still again.

Question: Despite the great social media buzz, what has been weak for this show?

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: How many schools will be able to keep some spots for children coming from low-income or non-English speaking families?

Taking a small step to address segregation in New York City schools, the Education Department announced on Friday that it would allow seven schools to reserve slots for children from low-income or non-English speaking families. Six of the seven schools that will change their policies are unzoned, meaning that they admit students by lottery rather than by drawing from the surrounding neighborhood, the Education Department said. Under the pilot program, students who qualify for free or reduced lunch, are in the child welfare system, are English-language learners or have incarcerated parents would be given priority in those lotteries. The schools would set aside from about 20 percent to 60 percent of their seats for students in those groups, many of them black or Hispanic. All the affected schools are elementary schools, and the changes will take effect for the upcoming kindergarten application cycle. The program grew out of recommendations that the schools’ principals made to the Education Department last year, as Mayor Bill de Blasio has faced growing pressure from principals and community leaders to increase diversity.

Question: In what year Time Rice recorded his revolutionary album?

“What that did for me, at that impressionable age, was make theater and rock ’n’ roll indistinguishable,” Mr. Lloyd Webber said. “I just thought rock was about theater, and rather old variety theater, at that.” Years later, he and Tim Rice recorded the original 1970 concept album for “Jesus Christ Superstar” — hailed, in its own time, as revolutionary and denounced as sacrilegious — at London’s Olympic Studios, next door to Led Zeppelin.

Question: What vehicle did Ms. Upi previously use for delivery products before she became successful?

In a testimonial for “Chain of Confidence,” Ms. Upi said that when she started out as a Tupperware saleswoman, she had to deliver products to customers using public transportation minivans. But within two years, she says, she was earning enough that she bought a new car and a house. “I became more confident, knowledgeable and disciplined,” she said. Ms. Amelia, the saleswoman at the Villa Mutiara party, had a similar tale. Six years ago, she was trying to keep afloat a restaurant that she ran in South Jakarta with her husband. Then she was invited to a Tupperware party that she said changed her life.

Question: How long did Mike Davis coach for in his previous team?

That is Texas Southern, seeded 15th in the West Region and matched against No. 2 Arizona on Thursday. And while it is unlikely that the Tigers (B.P.I.: 210) will become the first SWAC team since 1993 to win a round-of-64 game in the N.C.A.A. tournament, they have the attention of big-name programs. Coach Mike Davis coached at Indiana for six seasons, leading the Hoosiers to the 2002 championship game. This season, Davis’s third with the Tigers, Texas Southern beat Michigan State and Kansas State on the road, part of an intentionally brutal nonconference schedule intended to make up for the anchor effect of playing in the SWAC. “My vision for the program is to one day get it to the level of an at-large bid,” Davis said Wednesday.

Question: What should you use instead of the normal thermostat?

In general, killing parasites requires freezing and storing fish at a surrounding temperature of minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit or colder for seven days; or freezing at a surrounding temperature of minus 31 degrees or colder until the fish is solid and storing at the same temperature for 15 hours; or freezing at a surrounding temperature of minus 31 degrees until the fish is solid and storing at minus 4 degrees or below for 24 hours. Not all home refrigerator freezers get cold enough. To be sure that your freezer will work for controlling parasites, do not rely on the thermostat, but use a good freezer thermometer. The F.D.A. also warns that these techniques may not be suitable for particularly large fish, like those thicker than six inches.

Question: On what date was Clarkson suspended?

LONDON —  Jeremy Clarkson has reached the end of the road, at least with the BBC. Mr. Clarkson, the popular and moneymaking host of BBC’s “Top Gear,” an entertainment show built around cars and British macho, was told on Wednesday that his contract, which is up at the end of March, will not be renewed, the BBC said. The decision comes after Mr. Clarkson, 54, was accused of verbally and physically attacking a BBC producer, Oisin Tymon, after Mr. Clarkson returned to a Yorkshire hotel after a late-night drinking session to find that there was no hot food served at that hour. Mr. Tymon was treated at a hospital for his injuries but has not pressed charges against Mr. Clarkson. After the BBC was informed of what it initially called “a fracas,” Mr. Clarkson was suspended on March 10 and the last three episodes of this season of the popular “Top Gear” program were postponed. After an investigation, the BBC director general, Tony Hall, said in a statement, “It is with great regret that I have told Jeremy Clarkson today that the BBC will not be renewing his contract.”

Question: What Christian movement was Rev. Brian Sauder part of when growing up in Illinois?

For an earnest young Christian named Ben Lowe, revelation came on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, in Africa. A relentless warming of the lake was reducing the catch of fish, the people were going hungry — and he had learned of scientific evidence that climate change was to blame. For the Rev. Brian Sauder, who grew up attending a small Anabaptist church in rural Illinois, the moment came in a college classroom. Studying the fallout from environmental degradation, he learned of poor people who had to walk hours longer each day to gather firewood from depleted forests. For both men, Christian duties that their upbringing had led them to regard as separate — taking care of the earth and taking care of the poor — merged into a morally urgent problem. “Why haven’t I ever made this connection before?” Mr. Sauder recalled asking himself.

Question: What was the name of the American trainer

The training aims to remold the Ukrainian units by increasing the responsibilities of noncommissioned officers, fixing a Soviet legacy of an officer-heavy infantry. Without sergeants paying attention, basic mistakes were being made, the trainers said. Capt. Nicholas Salimbene, an American trainer, noticed with alarm that the Ukrainians were carrying their rifles with the safeties off. “It’s about the professionalism of the force,” he said. “We want them to look like soldiers.” “You see reports about the little green men,” he said, referring to the Russian soldiers who invaded the Crimean Peninsula last year in unmarked uniforms, “and they all walk around professionally, and carry their weapons professionally.” The Ukrainians should, too, Captain Salimbene said. The United States is also providing advanced courses for military professionals known as forward observers — the ones who call in targets — to improve the accuracy of artillery fire, making it more lethal for the enemy and less so for civilians. Oleksandr I. Leshchenko, the deputy director for training in the National Guard, was somewhat skeptical about the value of the training, saying that “99 percent” of the men in the course had already been in combat.

Question: What were the extraordinary measures taken to prevent?

The move signals that the government is beginning to step back from the extraordinary measures it took over the summer to stop a steep sell-off in the country’s stock markets. In addition to suspending I.P.O.s, those measures included a harsh crackdown backed by the police against any investors betting against stocks, orders for state-owned brokerages to buy stocks on behalf of the state, and banning large shareholders of companies from selling their stakes. The timing of the move is opportunistic, as Chinese stocks have recently staged a rebound. From its low in late August, the main Shanghai share index has risen 23 percent. Getting the I.P.O. process right has proved challenging for Chinese regulators, who have suspended and resumed new listings several times in recent years when markets have become too volatile. New listings are a favored target of speculators because, under current regulations, the shares are permitted to rise as much as 44 percent on their first day of trading. Trading on subsequent days is capped at a daily gain or loss of 10 percent, as it is for all other stocks.

Question: What bid did Mr. Faulkner acknowledge to be a work in progress?

But Mr. Faulkner also acknowledged that his mayoral bid was very much a work in progress. The pastor said he had yet to speak with either of the city’s last two Republican mayors, Michael R. Bloomberg and Rudolph W. Giuliani, about his campaign. Queried about his ideas for affordable housing, Mr. Faulkner said he would have more specific policy proposals within a year. Although Republicans intend to back a strong candidate against Mr. de Blasio, the party does not have a deep bench. Speculation so far has focused on Raymond W. Kelly, who was the police commissioner under Mayor Bloomberg, and Eva S. Moskowitz, the charter school executive who was previously elected to office as a Democrat, but has clashed bitterly with Mr. de Blasio over education policy. Mr. Faulkner is a social conservative who has opposed abortion rights and same-sex marriage. (Asked about his views on same-sex marriage on Monday, Mr. Faulkner said that the mayor of New York City had no role in the issue.) Still, clad in a pinstriped suit with a blue ribbon pinned to his chest — to show support for the police, he said — Mr. Faulkner said he had the force of personality and the right philosophy of government to lead New York.

Moskowitz, the charter school executive who was previously elected to office as a Democrat, but has clashed bitterly with Mr. de Blasio over education policy. Mr. Faulkner is a social conservative who has opposed abortion rights and same-sex marriage. (Asked about his views on same-sex marriage on Monday, Mr. Faulkner said that the mayor of New York City had no role in the issue.) Still, clad in a pinstriped suit with a blue ribbon pinned to his chest — to show support for the police, he said — Mr. Faulkner said he had the force of personality and the right philosophy of government to lead New York.

But Mr. Faulkner also acknowledged that <hl> his mayoral bid <hl> was very much a work in progress. The pastor said he had yet to speak with either of the city’s last two Republican mayors, Michael R. Bloomberg and Rudolph W. Giuliani, about his campaign. Queried about his ideas for affordable housing, Mr. Faulkner said he would have more specific policy proposals within a year.

Question: What about moving files that weren't from itunes?

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: What approach does the Fed claim they are taking to their policies?

Fed officials keep saying they are data-dependent in their policy choice, and this data backs up the idea that the United States economy is fundamentally in pretty decent shape, with consistent job growth and a low enough unemployment rate that employers are starting to offer workers higher raises. But because these numbers take some of the mystery out of the next Fed meeting, it’s worth looking at the questions we still don’t know the answers to. For the Fed, March is the new December. Meaning, the question now turns from “when will they first raise rates?” to “when will they raise rates after that?” What really matters for the economy is not so much what the Fed does 12 days from now, which we pretty much know, but how rapid or slow the path is toward higher rates.

Question: In which inning did Matt Harvey strike out?

“It’s different,” Harvey said of the extra rest. He added: “Dealing with it is something you have to do. I don’t think I did a very good job of that. I think we’re all excited to go back to a five-day rotation. It is what it is.” The Mets’ offense did not help Harvey much; Hamels held them to one run and four hits in seven innings. But Harvey did not help himself. He came to bat in the fourth inning, with two outs and the bases loaded, and he struck out swinging. In the third, with Dilson Herrera on second and nobody out, Harvey struck out trying to lay down a sacrifice bunt. Over the final five innings, the Mets managed to reach base only twice. In the ninth, Daniel Murphy, another Rangers fan, led off with a single. The Mets did not show any more fight. Jonathan Papelbon, the Phillies’ closer, retired the next three batters in order, striking out Lucas Duda and Kevin Plawecki, and getting Herrera to fly out easily to end the game.

Question: Who was the judge that preceded over Donald L. Blankenship's case?

A federal judge on Tuesday refused to declare a mistrial in the case of Donald L. Blankenship, who was the chief executive of Massey Energy Company when 29 workers were killed in a company mine in 2010. Mr. Blankenship’s lawyer asked for the mistrial ruling after jurors finished their fifth full day of deliberations. But Judge Irene C. Berger of Federal District Court in Charleston said that she did not “have any reason to believe that they are deadlocked” and that extensive deliberations were not surprising after weeks of testimony. Mr. Blankenship is accused of securities fraud and of conspiring to violate mine safety regulations. Deliberations will resume on Monday.

Question: How much money has the NFL agreed to pay out in the lawsuit?

But Robert Stern, one of the scientists at the Boston University center, told me that he expected a test to be developed within a decade that will be able to diagnose C.T.E. in living people. As for symptoms, the real problem is that plenty of people suffer from lost impulse control and depression without having C.T.E. Even so, the primary symptoms the settlement will reward financially are those that suggest cognitive impairment, rather than the behavioral and mood symptoms of C.T.E. “At a minimum,” said Stern, “former players whose behavior changes in ways that suggest C.T.E. should have full evaluations paid for by the settlement. And treatment would be nice, too.” It’s hard not to view the settlement as the cynical effort by the N.F.L. to contain its potential C.T.E. liability; indeed, once the settlement is final, it will be nearly impossible for players — past, present and future — to be compensated if they are found to have the disease. Even the plaintiffs’ expert has said that only 17 percent of the roughly 21,000 former players who have become part of the class will ever see any money. Oh, and did I mention that the N.F.L. has agreed to pay the plaintiffs’ lawyers over $112 million? It’s not the nation’s dominant sports league for nothing.

Question: Who expected them to know much of the basics?

In the first two weeks of training, the Americans found the Ukrainians’ soldierly skills lacking, and the group generally in need of instruction. “I came into it expecting them not to know much of the basics,” said Sgt. Michael Faranda, who is teaching maneuvers. He was correct. Things “every soldier should know,” he said, they did not. Some even forgot their helmets on the first day of exercises. Still, Sergeant Faranda said, the Ukrainians’ willingness to go into combat was all the more notable for their lack of preparation for it.

Question: Where is the Bush dynasty said to have roots?

That hardball, in-the-trenches style of politics, said friends, aides and scholars of the three men, goes against the ethos of the blue-blooded dynasty with roots in New England, where manners and decorum were ingrained not just at the dinner table but in the halls and playing fields of Andover. “Even the most visceral of the Bushes, George W. Bush, has been averse to that kind of pugnation,” said Robert Draper, the author of “Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush.” “The charitable view of it is manners — it’s better not to flash anger and swing elbows. The less charitable view is it derives from a kind of superiority that Bushes don’t fight in alleys.”

Question: What type of pitch did Colon say he threw a lot of in this game?

After a shaky first inning, where Colon gave up three hits but left undamaged thanks to a double play that he helped start, the pitching coach Dan Warthen implored the 42-year-old Colon to rely on his changeup and breaking pitches. Colon said after the game through an interpreter that it felt as if he threw more changeups in Wednesday’s game than in any other over his 18-year career, but the strategy was successful.

Question: How long is the 606?

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: Who is the chief strategist for Rand Paul's campaign?

But at the same time, more partisan political videos may trickle into news feeds as campaigns deploy Facebook’s new video advertising platform to reach specific groups. A video by the Clinton campaign, for instance, would probably not be targeted toward those using Mr. Cruz’s campaign logo as their avatar. And Facebook is ready to tap these intensifying political passions as a revenue stream. Some campaigns are proving particularly nimble at steering the conversation on Facebook. Vincent Harris, the chief digital strategist for Senator Rand Paul’s campaign, equipped the candidate’s many followers with avatars, photographs, videos, memes and links to post on their Facebook walls on the day Mr. Paul announced that he was running for president. Tagged correctly, the posts were intended to bombard others’ news feeds as well. The rise of political chatter on Facebook does not mean the site has become as polarized as Texas is red or California is blue. Some actually do use the site to stay informed about the other side.

Question: What was the name of Stuart Scott's memoir?

When the longtime ESPN anchor Stuart Scott quietly agreed to write a memoir last year, appendiceal cancer and chemotherapy were weakening him. His appearances on the network were dwindling. His life was slipping away. There was no assurance that he would survive until late May, when Blue Rider Press expected to publish his book, “Every Day I Fight.” So last fall, when Scott was in the midst of a hospitalization that lasted 75 days, a decision was made to advance the publication to early March. Perhaps Scott would live until then.

Question: Jean Pisani-Ferry serves as a policy adviser to what government?

Mr. Draghi reiterated that the E.C.B. does not try to achieve a certain exchange rate for the euro. The recent decline in the euro, he said, is “a natural outcome of diverging monetary policy path in the U.S. and the euro area. Markets expect a less accommodative monetary policy in the United States. This contributes to a stronger dollar.” Mr. Draghi and other top E.C.B. officials appear to be preparing financial markets for stronger action to combat low inflation. “Low inflation is already a serious obstacle to economic recovery and rebalancing within the eurozone,” Jean Pisani-Ferry, an economist who serves as a policy adviser to the French government, wrote in a blog post this week. “Outright deflation would be an even more dangerous threat.”

Question: What was her initial request to the McDonald's company?

In the misguided popular lore, the display says, the woman was driving when the coffee spilled (she was not), she was not badly injured (she was, with third-degree burns that put her in the hospital for eight days and caused permanent scarring), she was out to fleece McDonald’s (the company rejected her initial request for just $20,000 to cover medical expenses) and she received millions (she received less than $500,000). The museum is in a former bank in this struggling town, dotted with abandoned factories but on the path of weekend visitors to more prosperous areas. Mr. Nader knows that a museum in Washington would have more influence but said he had a hard enough time raising close to $3 million for this location. When he first described his vision for the museum, in 1998, he had hoped to raise $5 million within a year or two.

Answer: $20,000 to cover medical expenses

In the misguided popular lore, the display says, the woman was driving when the coffee spilled (she was not), she was not badly injured (she was, with third-degree burns that put her in the hospital for eight days and caused permanent scarring), she was out to fleece McDonald’s <hl> (the company rejected her initial request for just $20,000 to cover medical expenses ) and she received millions (she received less than $500,000). <hl> The museum is in a former bank in this struggling town, dotted with abandoned factories but on the path of weekend visitors to more prosperous areas. Mr. Nader knows that a museum in Washington would have more influence but said he had a hard enough time raising close to $3 million for this location.

Question: Before metathesis, this chemical reaction would need what type of temperature?

Mr. Chauvin was the first to explain chemical reactions involving petroleum compounds in which two molecules swap groups of atoms. The reactions, called metathesis (pronounced meh-TATH-eh-sis), which means “changing places,” break and then re-form strong “double bonds” between carbon atoms. That process generally requires high temperatures and immense pressures; metathesis, however, takes place under relatively mild conditions, is often quicker than conventional processes, consumes less energy and produces less waste — advantages for chemical companies and for the environment. For years, chemists were unable to explain how the bonds were being rearranged.

Question: What was Garcia's budget?

Dr. García, 68, had immigrated to Miami at age 14 as part of Operation Pedro Pan, during which 14,000 unaccompanied minors were flown to the United States from Cuba. At Columbia, he teaches multiplatform design and storytelling, preparing his students for “the media quintet,” which includes journalism delivered via smartwatch along with the existing quartet of phone, tablet, computer and print. As a runner, Dr. García set his sights on his “geographic essential” — a location on or near Central Park West. He wanted to buy a one-bedroom in good condition with a doorman to receive packages. His budget topped out in the high $600,000s.

Question: Why are audiences consuming shows differently?

With the rise of DVDs and streaming sources, audiences are consuming shows differently. They binge-watch and read recaps. And television conventions have loosened. HBO series like “The Comeback” and “Girls” have fleshed-out character arcs, and the fourth season of “Arrested Development,” released online all at once by Netflix, featured complex plotting with shifts of perspective that would have been hard to imagine a decade ago.

Question: Who was Madonna supervising?

Madonna was perfectly turned out and running nearly an hour late for an interview at her Upper East Side home on Wednesday evening. She looked tense as she apologized. “I’m late for everything now,” she said. She added that she has been in a rush since December, when a hacker put unfinished songs online from her new album, “Rebel Heart”; a suspect has been indicted in Israel. Madonna’s immediate response was to release the finished, and much improved, versions of six songs for sale; they zoomed into the top 10 worldwide. She also worked frantically to finish the rest of the album, which arrives on Tuesday. It’s at once familiar — full of love, dancing, empowerment, blasphemy and raunch — and up-to-the-minute, made with a huge number of collaborators and tweaked by multiple hands under Madonna’s constant supervision. “I intended to think about things, choose things more slowly — the whole process,” she said. “Then I got forced into putting everything out, and now I’m trying to catch up with myself.”

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: What is the name of the classicist?

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

Question: 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: Marcelo owns several guns, what does he shoot during the night shift?

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.
