Question: Who will not seek financial aid?

Greek officials have told journalists that Mr. Tsipras will not seek financial aid from Russia. But he has also said that European sanctions against Russia for its aggression in Ukraine are a “dead-end policy.” That stance is seriously harmful because the sanctions are having a real impact on Russia and should be maintained. But they have to be renewed periodically and all members of the European Union — including Greece — have to agree to extend them. Mr. Putin has shown a keen interest in exploiting divisions within the European Union for his own gain. For example, he has recently courted the government of Cyprus by providing it a loan and reaching an agreement that allows Russian warships to dock at a commercial port in that country. Mr. Putin has also cultivated Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary as an ally. And, last year, a Russian bank lent money to the far-right National Front party in France, which is gaining popularity in that country and says it would want France to leave the eurozone if it came to power. It would be a public relations triumph for Mr. Putin if Mr. Tsipras publicly criticized the sanctions while he was in Moscow.

Question: Who is Americas second largest bank?

All the large United States banks passed an annual regulatory test that aims to assess whether they can make it through a financial and economic calamity, the Federal Reserve said on Wednesday. But Bank of America, the nation’s second-largest bank by assets after JPMorgan Chase, passed only provisionally and could still fail later this year if it does not fix deficiencies that the Fed identified. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley, which dominate Wall Street, each had to alter their planned payouts to investors to achieve passing grades.

Question: What obstacle did Bank of America overcome to be able to payout it's shareholders?

Bank of America’s slip-up will most likely raise new questions about its ability to comply with new regulations that are intended to make the financial system safer. Bank of America passed the stress test last year and gained approval for its plan to make payouts to shareholders. But a few weeks after passing, the bank discovered errors that had led it to overstate its capital by $4 billion. The mistakes prompted the Fed to tell the bank to suspend its share buybacks and an increase in its dividend.

Question: Where is Itamar Harel a researcher?

Even when hobbyists pamper them in aquariums, turquoise killifish survive only a few months, making them among the shortest-lived vertebrates on Earth. So the turquoise killifish may not seem the best animal to study to discover the secrets of a long life.

Question: What is the technique called that uses molecular scissors to snip out pieces of DNA and replace it with a different one?

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

Question: Slovenia erected a razor-wire fence along its border with what country?

LJUBLJANA, Slovenia —  Slovenia began erecting a razor-wire fence at its border with Croatia on Wednesday to stem the inflow of migrants, as winter closes in and countries to the north tighten their own border controls. A convoy of army trucks carrying barbed wire and construction equipment arrived in the border town of Veliki Obrez at dawn on Wednesday. Soldiers rolled out the wire along the Slovenian bank of the Sotla River, which forms part of the 400-mile border with Croatia. Slovenia is an important country on the migration route through the Balkans because its border with Croatia also forms the southern frontier of Europe’s Schengen area, where passport-free travel is possible. Since Oct. 17, when Hungary closed its border with Croatia and redirected the flow, more than 180,000 migrants from Africa, the Middle East and Asia have entered Slovenia, a nation of two million people. Though the new fence threatens to block the route again just as winter is approaching, migrants have largely been able to find their way around such obstacles. Officials are anticipating that asylum seekers may now turn to Albania and Italy as an alternative routes to more prosperous European countries in the north. Most of the migrants moving through the Balkans have gone on to Austria and then Germany. Slovenia has been saying that it could manage the influx of about 6,000 to 8,000 asylum seekers a day as long as roughly the same number moved on each day. But Austria said recently that it could accept only 6,000 people a day from Slovenia, and Germany has started to tighten some controls on arrivals. As a result, the Slovenian prime minister, Miro Cerar, said that it was very likely that many of the 30,000 migrants who were traveling north from Greece could become stranded in Slovenia, which has limited room to accommodate them. “It’s a big number,” Mr. Cerar said at a news conference on Tuesday, after the government approved construction of the fence. “If we don’t act now, we could have a humanitarian catastrophe on the territory of Slovenia,” he said.

Question: Slovenia has gone on the record blaming what country for abondoning migrants at the border?

Tensions have risen over the migrant crisis among the Balkan countries that once made up Yugoslavia. Slovenia has accused Croatia of dumping thousands of desperate people at random locations on the border and leaving them to find their own way across, while Croatia has complained that the European Union has failed to come up with a common strategy to cope with the crisis. European Union leaders met in Malta on Wednesday for their sixth meeting of the year on the issue. Slovenia’s decision to build the fence drew sharp criticism from humanitarian organizations and human rights activists. Last week, an open letter accused the government of failing the migrants by leaving them out in the open, hungry and cold, while the authorities registered them and processed them. Countries elsewhere in Europe have also been raising barriers against the continued flow of asylum seekers. Sweden imposed temporary border controls on Wednesday and called on the European Union to share the burden of dealing with the crisis more widely, Reuters reported.

Question: When was Rolling Stone's "heyday"?

The plan in the magazine’s 1970s heyday, said Joe Armstrong, its publisher and president during that period, “was to build Time-Life, do what Henry Luce did, but for a younger generation.” Rolling Stone was breaking new ground, and printing things others would not print, he said. “We were covering rock ’n’ roll music when your parents liked orchestra music,” he said. “We were against the war in Vietnam, and everybody over 30 was for it. We were covering the drug culture. Nobody else was doing it.” Tom Wolfe published his novel “The Bonfire of the Vanities” in installments in the magazine. The photographer Annie Leibovitz became a star there. Richard Avedon traveled the country to shoot dozens of portraits of the people he felt ran America, a collection now with the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And Mr. Thompson made his own style of gonzo journalism. Rolling Stone has gone through tumultuous periods before, said Robert Draper, the author of “Rolling Stone Magazine: The Uncensored History.” It has survived internal strife, often surrounding the mercurial Mr. Wenner, questions about its finances and the threat of MTV, which many thought would end it.
