Question: What group objected to the Pope's characterization of what was happening in the Middle East?

Confronted by the continuing and largely ignored persecution of Catholics and other Christians in the Middle East, it is no surprise that as forthright and courageous a pope as Francis would set aside diplomatic nicety and call genocide what it is: genocide. It is a great pity that as important a country as Turkey should continue to object as strongly as it does to what is by now so clearly the verdict of history, particularly after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s unprecedented and powerful offer of condolences last year to the victims’ grandchildren.

Question: who posed a problem to the wildcats?

Texas Southern, from the Southwestern Athletic Conference, represented a potential land mine for the Wildcats. Coach Mike Davis spent six seasons at Indiana, succeeding Bobby Knight, and led the Hoosiers to the national championship game in 2002. Davis created one of the most difficult nonconference schedules in the country, with road games against the likes of Gonzaga, Baylor, Florida and Indiana. Among a slew of experience-building losses were a couple of upsets in late December, at Kansas State and at Michigan State.

Question: What were Huckabee's previous professions?

HOPE, Ark. —  Mike Huckabee, who excited evangelical voters in his first presidential race in 2008 and retains much of their good will, announced on Tuesday that he would again seek the Republican nomination despite a crowded field of rivals for his natural base in the party. A former Southern Baptist pastor and Arkansas governor, Mr. Huckabee is returning in hopes of once more dominating among social conservatives, but he is acutely aware he needs broader support to avoid the snares of last time, when he ran dry of money and failed to appeal much beyond the South. After describing a childhood of school prayer, fishing for catfish and running for student council in Hope, Mr. Huckabee said, “So it seems perfectly fitting that it would be here that I announce I am a candidate for president of the United States.”

Question: Who is the museum's executive director and co-founder?

“The first digits are actually 3.1415,” said Cindy Lawrence, the museum’s executive director and co-founder. (Pi’s decimal places extend indefinitely.) “So Saturday’s date is the first five digits of pi.” Thus on Saturday, the museum has planned a grand celebration, starting at 9 a.m. in Madison Square Park, where even small children can help form circles. “We’ll get people to line up and count out the distance around the circles, and others to do the distance across them,” Ms. Lawrence said. This pacing will illustrate that the circumference is about three times greater. Staff members will also pass out a graphic and lead a brief countdown to 9:26:53 a.m. because, yes, those are the next digits in pi.

Question: What did the team need to stay in its current location?

For years, the N.F.L. played cat and mouse with the city of Los Angeles. Every so often a team in, say, Minnesota, would threaten to move to L.A. in an effort to crowbar concessions out of its government leaders back home. Once the team got public financing, it stayed put. To move the ball, AEG, the sports and entertainment group, and Majestic Realty Group, a big real estate developer, promised to build stadiums in Los Angeles County if a team would commit to moving. For years, none did. But the roulette wheel has spun a lot faster this year. In January, the owner of the St. Louis Rams, Stan Kroenke, said he planned to build an 80,000-seat stadium in Inglewood, 10 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. Last week, the Inglewood City Council voted unanimously to give the project the green light. The Rams switched to a year-to-year lease at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, giving them the flexibility to move. Alarmed by the possibility that the Rams could move back to Los Angeles, the San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raiders last month said they would build their own stadium in Carson, about 15 miles farther south. The move was viewed as a way for the teams to maintain leverage in stadium negotiations with their home cities and potentially forestall the Rams. In the blink of an eye, the N.F.L. went from shadow boxing to boxing in Los Angeles. Faced with the possibility of three teams rushing to the city at once, the N.F.L. established an owners committee to oversee the process. But the process appears to be a work in a progress. AEG, which secured environmental approvals and sold naming rights for its proposed stadium next to Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, and which perhaps fears being shut out of the N.F.L. stadium sweepstakes, re-entered the fray. The company commissioned a report by Tom Ridge, a former secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, who outlined several safety and operational risks of locating a stadium in Inglewood just a few miles from the runways at Los Angeles International Airport.

Question: His study with Boulez had an influence on what?

MARC-ANDRÉ DALBAVIE, composer: I just studied conducting with Boulez, but it had an enormous influence on my writing. In the beginning it wasn’t clear, but progressively in the 1990s, I started to understand what he was teaching me. Around ’95 and ’96, I was writing my concerto for violin and I was living in Rome, so I had less contact with Pierre. The less contact I had, the more I realized his influence. If you know his piece “Mémoriale,” it revolves around this E-flat and you don’t know if it’s a tonality or a gravity center. This idea also became for me very strong. It was a sort of post-atonal moment.

Question: How much is the Tracy Mansion being sold for?

A principal draw of Park Slope has always been the rolling meadows and sinuous paths of Prospect Park, a masterpiece designed by Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted. The neighborhood, home to about 60,000, stretches west from the park to the rumbling river of traffic known as Fourth Avenue, and south from Flatbush Avenue. There is no unanimity on the southern boundary. Many longtime residents define it as 15th Street; others say the vicinity of the Prospect Expressway. Spurred in part by the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883, a Gold Coast of ornate townhouses and mansions arose around Plaza Street and Prospect Park West. Some of these were later replaced by fine prewar apartment houses, but others survive. On Prospect Park West, a Romanesque Revival limestone mansion houses the Poly Prep Lower School; next door, a neo-Jacobean mansion built for a Bon Ami cleansing powder magnate is now home to the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture. At 105 Eighth Avenue, the neoclassical Tracy Mansion, which served for years as a Montessori school, is on the market for $13 million.

Question: Who is William Schubert?

In Boeing’s defense, an army has massed. The United States Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers, with Boeing’s help, have organized Exporters for Ex-Im, which has mobilized dozens of Boeing suppliers and other small companies to knock on Capitol Hill doors, call lawmakers and generally do the public work that the biggest recipients of Ex-Im help — Boeing, General Electric, Caterpillar and Applied Materials — avoid. Representatives of small businesses, like William Schubert, president of a small infrastructure export firm outside Houston, flooded the hallways of Congress in February and confronted usual Republican allies on the other side of the Ex-Im divide. But the so-called fly-in, from hotel reservations to meeting schedules, was arranged by professionals.

Question: What does the company take when someone uses Wanderu to purchase a trip?

The Wanderu app’s home screen asks “Where to?” and the temptation to type in all your dream destinations (New Orleans! Arches National Park!) is strong. You can enter the name of a city, but also an exact address or even a landmark. Wanderu is set up to find you a travel option that will get you as close as possible to a specific place. Results can be sorted by time (earliest and latest buses and trains on a given day) and price. Every time someone purchases a trip on Wanderu, the company takes a percentage of the sale from the bus or train company. It doesn’t charge users or use advertising.

Question: What are the most common injuries in women's hockey?

Despite increased public discussion, there is a dearth of information focused on concussions in women’s hockey. The few published studies available are unsettling. An eight-year study released this year by the International Ice Hockey Federation analyzed women’s hockey injuries at the world championships and the Olympics. It found that concussions were the third-most-common injury (15.5 percent), behind contusions (28 percent) and sprains (20.8 percent). A 2014 summary of self-reported concussions among N.C.A.A. student-athletes said that women’s hockey had the largest percentage of players who had experienced at least one concussion, at 20.9 percent.

Question: What nation carries out drone attacks?

The sections on art and writing are, for the most part, banal — predictable musings about whether characters ought to be “likable” or not, and the pleasures of rereading favorite short books. It’s the chapters about Mr. Hamid’s own life and his meditations on Pakistan’s tumultuous recent history that command attention — and call out for a volume of their own. Like so many characters in his fiction, Mr. Hamid seems to be of two minds about many things — especially the country of his birth. One moment he is lamenting the hazards of life in Pakistan, where death can come in the form of militant terror attacks and American drone strikes, and where one can be killed for “being liberal, for being mystical, for being in politics, the army or the police, or for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Question: During the first quarter, what percent of the global investment banking revenue did European banks make up?

Mr. Jain and the bank’s other co-chief executive, Jürgen Fitschen, insisted on Monday that they are not retreating from the idea of a universal bank that offers a full range of banking services to individuals and business worldwide. And they reaffirmed their determination to be a force on Wall Street. But since the financial crisis, European investment banks have steadily lost market share to their United States rivals. In the first quarter, European banks accounted for 30 percent of global investment banking revenue, according to the data provider Dealogic.

Question: Who let Boko Haram operate in Nigerian territory?

What I can pledge, with absolute certainty, is that from the first day of my administration, Boko Haram will know the strength of our collective will and commitment to rid this nation of terror, and bring back peace and normalcy to all the affected areas. Until now, Nigeria has been wanting in its response to their threat: With our neighbors fighting hard to push the terrorists south and out of their countries, our military was not sufficiently supported or equipped to push north. As a consequence, the outgoing government’s lack of determination was an accidental enabler of the group, allowing them to operate with impunity in Nigerian territory.

Question: What novel did Rasputin write in 1976?

But Khrushchev’s agricultural and industrial policies were also a death knell for traditional village life. The fate of Mr. Rasputin’s childhood villages became fodder for one of his most famous works, the 1976 novel “Farewell to Matyora.” The novel is about an island village on the Angara River that is about to be subsumed in the 1960s by construction of the Bratsk hydroelectric plant, and the elderly residents who try to resist resettlement and cannot adapt to city life. After a vivid description of the beginning of spring in the opening chapter, Mr. Rasputin — an ardent environmentalist who fought to protect Lake Baikal, the world’s largest freshwater lake — continues, “Everything was in place, but everything was wrong.”

Question: What kind of plaintiffs were talked about?

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: Who is donating land for a new medical facility?

Question: where was michael jordan born?

If you tried to define New York City basketball strictly by birthplace, you would include players like Michael Jordan, who was born in Brooklyn but grew up elsewhere. And you would exclude Julius Erving, who was born in Nassau County, next to but not part of the city, but who helped to enhance the New York style of play with his wizardry at the famous Rucker Park playground in Harlem before going on to star for the New York Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers. So clearly there is more to the definition than an original address. And even if you can agree that a player should basically be considered a New York City athlete if he went to high school in one of the five boroughs, is there anything else that traditionally sets apart a New York City basketball player?

Question: Which region did officials target for a temporary ban for ride hailing services?

The case, which made headlines in December, incited local officials to temporarily ban the ride-hailing service in the Delhi region after details emerged that the driver, Shiv Kumar Yadav, had previously been detained on suspicion of raping another female passenger in 2011. While officials said that case was ultimately closed and Mr. Yadav was acquitted, the fallout around the episode raised questions about Uber’s security screening process for drivers. An Uber spokeswoman declined to comment on the withdrawal of the case. Douglas Wigdor, a lawyer representing the plaintiff, who filed as Jane Doe, also declined to comment.

Question: Who sang harmonies with Joan Shelley at Union Pool?

Ms. Shelley is from Louisville, Ky., where she has recorded in duos and groups; “Electric Ursa” is her second solo album. Her songs hold echoes of the area’s Appalachian heritage in their unhurried picking and Celtic-tinged melodies, and she sings with the centered clarity of a mountain balladeer. But her songs aren’t necessarily traditionalist. She also invokes another school of American and British acoustic music: the guitar meditations of musicians like John Fahey, Davy Graham and Vashti Bunyan, who found more hypnotic uses for elements of folk styles. Although Ms. Shelley leads a full band on her albums, at Union Pool, her backup was ample with just two acoustic guitars — her own and Nathan Salsburg’s — and the occasional vocal harmonies of Glen Dentinger. A few cyclical, undulating, fingerpicked chords were enough for each song, with Ms. Shelley pinpointing the rhythm and Mr. Salsburg entwining it with touches of filigree. Mr. Salsburg, also from Louisville, had started the evening with guitar instrumentals (including a folkified version of the Smiths’ “Reel Around the Fountain”); Nathan Bowles, a banjoist and singer who also shared the bill, joined Ms. Shelley’s group for one song.

Question: What was there no significant difference in between all of the studies?

Before 1983, six randomized controlled trials involving 2,467 men were conducted. None were explicit studies of the recommended diet (and none involved women), but all explored the relationship between dietary fat, cholesterol and mortality. Five of them were secondary prevention trials — meaning that they involved only men with known problems already. Only one included healthy participants, who would be at lower risk, and therefore would be likely to have less benefit from dietary changes. That’s a lot of participants. Moreover, many of them were at high risk. And in all of them, there was no significant difference among them in the rate of death from coronary heart disease. There were also no differences in mortality from all causes, which is the metric that matters.

Question: Who did the study on gaming habits of middle and high school aged people?

Ms. Wiseman, who studied gaming habits among middle- and high school-aged people, said girls face elevated scrutiny over their gaming skills.

Question: Visa europe's value disregards premiums and what else?

Visa recently pegged Visa Europe’s value to be “in excess of $10 billion.” Assume Visa Europe’s bottom line grows this year at the same rate as last year, on Visa’s 24 times multiple, the company would be worth $6.9 billion. That figure doesn’t take into account any savings, of course, as well as any premium that Visa would have to pay to bypass the existing agreement. The ancillary benefits for Visa, however, suggest that just as Visa’ chief executive, Charles W. Scharf, said in April: “Sooner is better.”

Question: What is the cause of the horrible smell?

The jail is overcrowded, with nearly 200 inmates in a space for 40. Untreated sewage means visitors are greeted with a foul stench. But the mood among prisoners seems to waver between blasé and leisurely. “It’s not a jail here,” said Idmark dos Santos da Silva, 36, serving time for bank robbery. “It’s a day care.” Ayrllys Mateus Silva, 24, a bus ticket seller and Mr. Silva Neto’s daughter by the wife whom he killed, said both she and her grandmother had forgiven him, and that she visited his Sapé prison.

Question: What genre of movie is "Spy?"

“That was so beautifully cringe-y,” Ms. McCarthy said afterward. Mr. Feig cheered. It was a wrap. “Spy,” which is to open on June 5, is the biggest-budget gamble of Mr. Feig’s career, a high-stakes espionage thriller — a comic espionage thriller — that cost $65 million to make and had the cast and crew on location here for months last year. At a moment when there’s extra scrutiny of women’s roles in studio films, behind and in front of the camera, “Spy” is a rejoinder to all the testosterone-fueled fantasies that dominate the summer box office. That action stars need not be superheroes is also a testament to Ms. McCarthy’s clout; it’s her highest-budget movie, too.

Question: By what security forces were the Uighurs detained by?

Many Uighurs have been trying to flee China to Turkey, usually by first traveling overland through Southeast Asian countries to Malaysia. Last year, hundreds of Uighurs in separate groups, most of them women and children, were detained by Thai security forces in the jungles of southern Thailand. They told Thai officials that they were Turkish citizens, and they were later visited by diplomats from the Turkish Embassy in Bangkok. Chinese officials insisted to the Thai government that the migrants be sent back to China. The fate of those migrant Uighurs is unclear.

Question: What is mostly happen in some parts of the brain ?

Mishearings are not hallucinations, but like hallucinations they utilize the usual pathways of perception and pose as reality — it does not occur to one to question them. But since all of our perceptions must be constructed by the brain, from often meager and ambiguous sensory data, the possibility of error or deception is always present. Indeed, it is a marvel that our perceptions are so often correct, given the rapidity, the near instantaneity, with which they are constructed. One’s surroundings, one’s wishes and expectations, conscious and unconscious, can certainly be co-determinants in mishearing, but the real mischief lies at lower levels, in those parts of the brain involved in phonological analysis and decoding. Doing what they can with distorted or deficient signals from our ears, these parts of the brain manage to construct real words or phrases, even if they are absurd.

Question: What basketball abilities did Porzingis portray that caused the N.B.A. to be impressed?

It was during his time in Spain that Porzingis developed the mechanics of his game and caught the attention of N.B.A. executives and scouts, many of whom flocked to watch him on the European circuit and came away impressed by his shooting and mobility. Although Latvia has produced only a few basketball players who have played in the United States, the sport has had a following there since 1935, when the national team won the first-ever Eurobasket European championship. When Porzingis was drafted by the Knicks, he instantly became the country’s best-known athlete and a hero.

Question: What happened to Andrew's washer pipe?

“Sometimes when you have a wholesale shift in the weather pattern it can persist for quite a while,” he said. “As we get to the end of this week, we’re going to see temperatures as cold or even colder.” Meteorologists and their families are not immune to the consequences. Mr. Morrin’s son-in-law, Andrew Albany, 28, was home with three children on Monday morning in south central New Jersey, putting in a load of laundry, when he realized the pipe to the washer was frozen. Putting the 1-year-old in the playpen, and the 3-year-old and 6-year-old in front of a Disney movie, he deployed a space heater to try to try to thaw the pipe, before heading to his 3 p.m. to midnight shift as a nurse. The children’s movie? Yes, he conceded, laughing, “It was ‘Frozen.’ ”

Question: Many people are politically passionate about which upcoming political race?

Mr. Thrasher, who had the Facebook falling out with his father, created a separate list of conservative friends from his hometown to keep tabs on what “Republican friends were saying about the latest craze.” And Facebook counts its vast user base as evidence that it is much more than a political echo chamber. “Even if the majority of people that you’re friends with have opinions that are similar to you,” Facebook’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, said last year, “your network of friends and friends of friends who you’ll hear from in your news feed is going to bring you more diverse opinions than you would have from any other type of media that you would have consumed.” But as the passions about the presidential race ratchet up and more people click the “unfollow” button, the discussion on the site tends to mimic the chatter of often-derided partisan news organizations on television, where like-minded audiences follow like-minded viewpoints.

Question: Who does Breuer think the Mets need to re-sign?

Still, the task of turning New York into a Mets town is far from complete. Prince, the blogger, offered two ways to measure future progress: when Mets caps are highly visible on all trains, not just the 7 line to Flushing, and when a fan’s request to turn a restaurant television to a Mets game is not met with a look “like you have three eyes.” More important, they probably need to do well in the postseason and then re-sign Cespedes. “I think we have a great chance of going all the way,” Breuer said.

Question: What is something that crating biofuels uses a lot of?

Moreover, biofuels are an inefficient way to convert sunlight to fuel, meaning an immense amount of land would be required to supply a significant fraction of global energy demand, Mr. Searchinger said. That land will also be needed to help meet a global appetite for food that is expected to rise 70 percent or so by 2050, he said. “We’ve only got one planet, with only so much land,” Mr. Searchinger said. “If you use land for one purpose, you can’t use it for another.” Mr. Searchinger added that he was concerned by recent policy statements from the Obama administration that he said might open the door to extensive burning of wood pellets in the United States in the name of fighting global warming, similar to what has happened in Europe.

Question: What do Roy Smith and Brad Hintz do as a profession?

Of the world’s 12 largest banks, only Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs generated returns above their cost of capital last year, according to an analysis in Financial News by Roy Smith and Brad Hintz, professors at NYU Stern School of Business. Investment banking is the main drag on performance. The average return on equity produced by Goldman Sachs and the capital markets divisions of eight big American and European groups was 6.6 percent last year, according to Breakingviews calculations. That’s barely over half what McKinsey estimates is the industry’s long-term average 12 percent cost of capital. But the picture is not as bleak as it looks. Fines and settlements pulled down the figure. Exclude these and apply a 30 percent tax rate, and the combined return was just in double digits, at 10.7 percent.

Question: Who is the Attorney General?

“The city is a lot more vibrant, a lot more to do,” said Dan Carter, 39, a court investigator checking out preparations at the square Thursday. “It’ll be interesting to see what people think.” Civic leaders acknowledge work is still needed, and a Fourth of July melee after a concert at the square is leading to a new assessment of procedures since, as Black said, “downtown is no longer trying to become a destination; it is a destination.” PRAISE FOR THE POLICE Attorney General Loretta E.

Question: What was he thinking about?

“I’ve always felt like that was part of my job as the point guard,” he said. “And truthfully, in my head, I am trying to stay calm and be sure I’m thinking straight.” Trice’s measured approach to the game was evident at least three times in the regional final. Near the end of regulation, after his teammate Marvin Clark Jr. missed two free throws, shots that might have clinched the victory for Michigan State, Trice went to Clark at the next whistle — with the game still very much in doubt. “I told him that those misses weren’t going to lose us the game,” Trice said. “I told him he was going to get another big rebound or another chance to help us win. We needed him now so we could win.”
