Question: who did the linebacker for Trinity High School run over?

“I don’t know of other incidents like this, which is why it’s so shocking,” said H. G. Bissinger, the author of “Friday Night Lights,” which chronicled the Permian Panthers in Odessa, Tex. “I think it’s part and parcel of the intensity, the fanaticism and the craziness of what sports has become in this country.” The incident resurrected memories of a 2008 playoff game in which a linebacker for Trinity High School in Euless, in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, ran over a referee on the second-to-last play of the game. The linebacker, Elikena Fieilo, who is now a Euless police officer, told The Fort Worth Star-Telegram last week that his intentional hit had resulted in disciplinary action and the loss of several Division I scholarship offers. “It was a terrible, horrible decision I made,” Mr. Fieilo, who went on to become a scholarship player for Sam Houston State University, told the newspaper.

Question: What book about George W. Bush did Robert Draper write?

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 is one of the goals of Navdy are working towards?

“I love you,” the man responds, and then, before signing off, “I’m making a video right now.” That video — the one posted on YouTube — was a promotion commissioned by Navdy, one of a handful of start-up companies bringing a futuristic spin to the debate over distracted driving, and how to curb it. The devices project driving information and data streamed from a smartphone into a driver’s field of view. There are several versions of this nascent technology, but they generally work by using a projection device that wirelessly picks up information from the phone and uses sophisticated optics to allow the information — maps, speed, incoming texts, caller identification and even social media notifications — to hover above the dashboard. Hand gestures or voice commands allow drivers to answer a call or hang up.

Question: Where did the rides end at?

In my line of work, grimness of the mouth sets in after I’ve eaten too many things that are trying so hard to impress that they lose touch with anything that comes close to pleasure. And each time I see a roomful of people handing hundreds or thousands of dollars over to a chef who stopped caring a long time ago, my mood turns distinctly Novemberish. Whaling jobs being harder to come by than in Melville’s day, my sea voyages usually take the form of a short ride to a cheap restaurant where warm flavors from another part of the world will burn off my interior drizzle. Recently, these rides have ended at Chomp Chomp in Greenwich Village for radish cakes, noodle soups with transporting powers, coconut rice, triangles of golden beef-filled roti wet with curry sauce, and other treats from the food courts of Singapore.

Question: Who did Ed Reed sign a one-day contract with?

Question: Who was the Mississippi state epidemiologist?

JACKSON, Miss. —  The Mississippi state epidemiologist, Dr. Thomas E. Dobbs III, stood in a crowded room at the State Capitol this week and waited for a legislative verdict on the law that fostered what he regards as a public health triumph in a place that has few of them: the country’s highest immunization rate among kindergarten students. But in recent weeks, the nearly unbending nature of Mississippi’s law requiring students to be vaccinated has been in jeopardy, with two dozen lawmakers publicly supporting an exemption for “conscientious beliefs.” The debate, coming as other states grappled with a measles outbreak, turned Mississippi into one more battleground between medical experts who champion vaccinations and parents who fear the government’s role in medical decision-making.

Question: How many people died in clashes with the police on the anniversary last year?

Ms. Sabbagh was walking in a small group of fellow party members on Saturday with a wreath of flowers to lay in Tahrir Square to honor demonstrators killed there during previous protests, according to a witness account and a video recording of the scene. When her group took up the Arab Spring chant for “bread, freedom and social justice,” a contingent of masked riot police officers as numerous as the marchers “fired bullets and gas within minutes,” according to a testimonial posted on Facebook by Azza Soliman, a prominent human rights lawyer who was nearby at the time. In the video, the police officers are seen firing guns from across a narrow street. A friend, crouching down, grabs Ms. Sabbagh around the waist as she stands upright with blood running down her face. Then he is seen hurriedly carrying her away while the gunfire continues. A forensic report said birdshot fired at close range had pierced her lung and heart, according to news reports. The deaths on the anniversary of the revolt were predictable, rights activists say, because the swift use of firearms has become de facto police policy toward any unauthorized public assembly, especially in downtown Cairo. On the anniversary last year, more than 50 people died in clashes with the police.

Question: What type of design is the home?

The couple told their architect that they wanted a home that would blend in with its setting yet also incorporate key elements of modern design, such as underfloor heating throughout. “It also needed to have six bedrooms and a central Poggenpohl kitchen,” Mr. Hague said. “I wanted to be able to walk straight into the house at the first-floor level and not to be greeted by the sight of a staircase. Instead, I wanted to be greeted by the flames from a double-sided fireplace, which had been lined up exactly with the front door.”

Question: In what academic journal was the poetry published?

“It seemed that going over poetry with her and singing songs with her was a tremendous way to interact with her,” he recalled. “When we did that, she acted decades younger than she was otherwise.” Convinced that poetry could be therapeutic, he asked the Sarah Neuman Center, the Westchester County campus of a sprawling nonprofit, Jewish Home Lifecare, based near his home in New Rochelle, to let him give readings, and the administration agreed. This year, he felt confident enough about his experience to write about it in The Journal of Poetry Therapy, in an article titled “A Poetry Program for the Very Elderly — Narrative Perspective on One Therapeutic Model.” In it, he argues that without intending to do so, he has developed a curriculum for others to follow.

Question: What is the central point of the debate

For Catholics, pastoral care for real people often trumps strong teaching — for example, when communion is offered to political leaders and military officials who lead a war judged to be unjust, like the 2003 invasion of Iraq. But divorced and remarried Catholics have been denied communion. Mr. Douthat misses the central point of debate, which is the degree to which all Christians who are thinking about what God requires should consider the experience, including intimate experience, of living neighbors.

Question: Which completion date was Kaplan hoping for?

“I think we become a strong candidate now for all of these leagues,” Engles said. “We can attract some conferences now with a new facility.” Kaplan said the institute was hoping for a September 2017 completion date. Commissioners for the Northeast Conference, the America East Conference and the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference each congratulated N.J.I.T. on the announcement of the new arena. But beyond that, they deferred comment. One hope for N.J.I.T. could come from the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, a league of historically black colleges and universities.

Question: What in your home does not probably get cold enough to freeze the parasites?

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: Who arrests Nearco

Severo finds out that Paolina has married, and in a secret meeting with him, she refuses to be unfaithful. Aided by Callistene, whose machinations drive much of the plot, Poliuto finds them and vows revenge. But when Callistene arrests Nearco, another Christian, Poliuto puts his faith before his love, and confesses his baptism. Visiting Poliuto in prison, Paolina urges him to recant. When Poliuto remains steadfast, she converts, too, following him to an unseen death in the arena. Does Paolina really mean it? Is her baptism a response to Severo’s return, or genuinely a matter of faith? Is Poliuto a political figure or a religious one, if the two could be separated? Using a new critical edition by the scholars William Ashbrook and Roger Parker that excises all the French accretions, Ms. Clément’s production tries to tease out these gray areas. But in a relentlessly monochrome production, she deals with politics weakly, vacillating between forcing the point and not making it at all.

Question: What job position did the inside information source hold at Level Global?

The warrant says that a Level Global analyst cooperating with the government had revealed to Mr. Ganek “the sources of the inside information.” While that accusation was vague, it was enough to convince a magistrate judge at the time that there was probable cause to approve the warrant. Mr. Ganek’s lawsuit contends that the warrant supporting the raid “falsely represented” that he was involved in insider trading. The lawsuit cited the courtroom testimony of the Level Global analyst, who never implicated Mr. Ganek, the lawsuit said. And the government never charged Mr. Ganek, though they labeled him an “unindicted co-conspirator.”

The warrant says that a Level Global <hl> analyst <hl> cooperating with the government had revealed to Mr. Ganek “the sources of the inside information.” While that accusation was vague, it was enough to convince a magistrate judge at the time that there was probable cause to approve the warrant. Mr. Ganek’s lawsuit contends that the warrant supporting the raid “falsely represented” that he was involved in insider trading. The lawsuit cited the courtroom testimony of the Level Global analyst, who never implicated Mr. Ganek, the lawsuit said. And the government never charged Mr. Ganek, though they labeled him an “unindicted co-conspirator.”


Question: What type of victims were involved in the conviction?

JAKARTA, Indonesia — Two educators at a prestigious international school in Indonesia were freed from prison on Friday after an appeals court overturned their convictions and 10-year prison sentences on charges of sexually assaulting kindergartners, in a case that the school said was fabricated and that led to international concern about the competence of the country’s judicial system. “We are relieved and grateful that justice can finally prevail,” one of the pair, Ferdinand Tjiong, told reporters as he and the other, Neil Bantleman, were mobbed by a throng of journalists and supporters after walking through the gates of Cipinang Penitentiary in Jakarta, the Indonesian capital. “This should be a lesson to all of us that we should keep fighting for justice and the innocent,” Mr. Tjiong said.

Question: Adventism faced problems with which denominations?

More recently, however, Mr. Carson made clear that he would always defend his Adventist beliefs against skeptics. “I’m proud of the fact that I believe what God has said, and I’ve said many times that I’ll defend it before anyone,” Mr. Carson told the Adventist Report in 2013. “If they want to criticize the fact that I believe in a literal six-day creation, let’s have at it, because I will poke all kinds of holes in what they believe.” For theological reasons, Adventism has faced tensions with the Roman Catholic and Baptist Churches over the years. Last spring, Mr. Carson was invited to speak at a Southern Baptist Pastors’ Conference in Ohio, but he faced opposition because of his beliefs and eventually backed out. “Dr. Carson is a Seventh-day Adventist,” a group of pastors from the Baptist organization B21 wrote in protest of his visit. “Their official theology denies the doctrine of hell in favor of annihilation,” they wrote, “and believes that those who worship on Sunday will bear the ‘mark of the beast.’ ” The church has also had a strongly anti-Catholic strain, and when Mr. Carson decided to attend Pope Francis’ visit to Congress last month, Adventist message boards lit up with questions about his presence with the pontiff. Some questioned his referring to the pope as the “Holy Leader” and wondered, “How do such words come from the mouth of a Seventh-day Adventist?”

Question: What did the 2015 bill bar the Justice Department from doing  to interfere with state marijuana laws?

The ruling is one of several indications that some resolution between federal and state marijuana laws may be approaching. In 2013, the Justice Department recommended that federal officials not target dispensaries, growers and patients who complied with state marijuana laws and had no links to cartels or interstate smuggling. Moreover, the 2015 appropriations bill passed by Congress in December barred the Justice Department from spending money to interfere with any state’s efforts to carry out its medical marijuana laws. The Justice Department has countered that it can still prosecute violations of the federal marijuana ban and continue cases already in the courts.

Question: Which country does not have the political will to bail out financial institutions?

Of course, the tricky part for China’s government will be picking the winners and losers. As was his approach in the United States, Mr. Paulson advocates saving certain institutions, calling it “an unpleasant necessity” and suggesting that inside China, unlike the United States, there is “the political will to bail out failing financial institutions.” Also unlike the United States, it is not clear that the public will ever fully know the depths of a bank’s problems. “Transparency in China too often means the government having all the information,” Mr. Paulson told me.

Question: What does Margrethe Vestager do?

The antitrust case against Google filed by European Union regulators on Wednesday will inevitably draw comparisons to the long-running prosecution of Microsoft, in which regulators on both sides of the Atlantic pursued the software giant for anticompetitive behavior. But Margrethe Vestager, the European Union’s competition commissioner, may not find the comparison entirely flattering. With more than a decade of hindsight, the theories supporting the case against Microsoft have all but fallen apart, and the pursuit of the company that makes Windows may suggest a reason for skepticism about this fight against Google: The tech marketplace is fluid and unpredictable. The giants that look most unbeatable today could falter in ways that may once have seemed unthinkable — and without a lot of help from the government.

Question: Where did Chris Wood serve as station chief?

As part of a bureaucratic reshuffling last month by John O. Brennan, the C.I.A. director, Mr. D’Andrea has been replaced as head of the drone program by Chris Wood. After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Mr. Wood held leadership roles in Alec Station, the group that led the hunt for Qaeda suspects and was central to the interrogation program. He ultimately was in charge of that unit and would later serve as station chief in Kabul. Most recently, he supervised all operations in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Mr. Wood now runs a targeted killing program that is the subject of multiple investigations that Mr. Obama announced last week.

Question: The show reminds you of scenes from what skit TV show?

My preview audience (I recognized many members of the fraternity of Broadway show folk) awarded this expenditure of energy with two standing ovations. The first occurred halfway through the first act, after Mr. Oscar’s Nostradamus led a number that foresaw the shape of entertainment to come. It features melodic and choreographic references to pretty much every musical you’ve ever heard of, from “West Side Story” to “Les Misérables.” Any classics that were not namechecked then are dutifully mentioned in the second-act number “Make an Omelette,” which registers as an act of force-feeding an already overstuffed audience. “Omelette,” by the way, is a misreading of “Hamlet” by Nostradamus, who tries to predict what Shakespeare’s chef d’oeuvre will be so Nick can steal the idea. When I was in grade school, it was considered the height of wit to refer to “Hamlet” as “Omelette,” and it is such heights that “Something Rotten!” occupies. Phallic humor abounds, starting with the oversized codpieces worn by the men. (Gregg Barnes did the costumes.) It is a codpiece into which Nigel, played with rather charming nerdiness by Mr. Cariani, reaches when he tells the girl he adores, Portia (Kate Reinders, doing an impression of Kristin Chenoweth), “I have something to show you.” Fortunately, it’s only a sonnet that he keeps next to his privates. And, oh yes, there’s a sonnet reading by Mr. Cariani that is rendered as a parallel to premature ejaculation. (Sometimes you wonder if the show isn’t made up of scenes culled from the wastebaskets of the “Saturday Night Live” staff.) The cast also includes Heidi Blickenstaff as Nick’s stalwart wife, Bea, a precocious feminist (“This is the ’90s! We’ve got a woman on the throne.”); Gerry Vichi as a Jewish theater lover named, uh, Shylock; Brooks Ashmanskas as a disapproving Puritan, prone to many inadvertent erection jokes; and Peter Bartlett, doing his inimitably rococo thing in a couple of roles.

Question: How many homers does Young have?

“The pitching staff is probably the biggest deal,” Yankees outfielder Chris Young said. “The back-end bullpen guys, I think that plays a big part in how you feel as the game’s progressing. If you’re up or down a couple of runs, do you feel like you’re still in the game? If you’re up by three runs but you’re still not really sure if you have a hold on the game yet, you start to press, and things happen.” Young was an All-Star for Arizona in 2010, when he was 26. He may never reach that level again, but he has hit well for the Yankees and is almost an everyday player. Manager Joe Girardi has found a way to get 10 players at least 70 plate appearances each, an important skill with a veteran roster. Young was out of Sunday’s starting lineup, but even after a pinch-hit strikeout, he was hitting .313 with six homers and 12 runs batted in. He offered no reason for his improvement from recent seasons other than the comfort of playing for the Yankees, with whom he enjoys the daily grind.

Question: How did Mr. Yates try to avoid the fine?

It does not matter, she said, that what Mr. Yates destroyed was not a document. “A person who hides a murder victim’s body is no less culpable than one who burns the victim’s diary,” she wrote. “A fisherman, like John Yates, who dumps undersized fish to avoid a fine is no less blameworthy than one who shreds his vessel’s catch log for the same reason.” Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony M. Kennedy and Clarence Thomas joined Justice Kagan’s dissenting opinion.

Mutual fund analysts say that the Third Avenue fund is perhaps the riskiest of the many high-yield funds that investors have been piling into in recent years. Mr. Lapointe and his team of analysts acted more like private equity investors, taking large stakes in companies that were either already bankrupt or emerging from bankruptcy. Unlike most funds that hold bonds that can be bought and sold, albeit with some difficulty, private equity funds are not required to pay back investors on demand — it is a must for mutual funds.

Question: What did the federal judge do with Delta Air Lines' longstanding claim?

WASHINGTON —  Last week, with little notice, a federal judge here tossed out Delta Air Lines’ longstanding claim that the government’s export credit agency — which, among other things, provides loan guarantees to overseas airlines for the purchase of Boeing jets — was helping international competitors at the airline’s expense. Delta offered only a shrug. Judicial opinions aside, the continued existence of the Export-Import Bank turns more on bare-knuckle politics than on legal niceties. “We pursued all our options in court, but we’ve known all along this is going to be won or lost in Congress,” said Trebor Banstetter, a Delta spokesman in Atlanta.

Question: What political group wants to strengthen immigration laws?

To the Editor: Re “Special Visas Help Copycats Take U.S. Jobs” (front page, Sept. 30): American companies like Toys “R” Us are using the H-1B temporary visa program to take high-paying American jobs offshore in the name of growth and corporate resiliency. At the same time, conservative politicians oppose raising the minimum wage to livable levels with the argument that it will deprive Americans of their low-paying jobs. They also want to tighten immigration laws that bring foreign workers here to take jobs that most Americans don’t want, as in agriculture. Is this selective vision, moral hypocrisy or both? ELLEN JOURET-EPSTEIN

Question: Where is Big Brother watching from?

“I really loved the idea of a healthy weekend: high-end, but low-fat cuisine, fitness classes, treatments,” Ms. Kushner said. The event coordinator planned nostalgic playground games (ring toss, jumping rope) in a lighthearted but competitive style. “My friends were so surprised by how much fun they had,” she said. The notion that Big Brother is watching from the web, along with the eyes of corporate America, is a reality that is also bearing down on millennials and others who are holding down jobs and are expected to perform in them. As enticing and addictive as Facebook and Instagram have become, there’s also a pushback from those wanting to remain faceless and nameless. For these folks, being caught in compromising photographs in a posting on someone’s page that they didn’t O.K. is no longer acceptable.

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 plays Slimane?

Although astringent by mainstream movie standards, “Far From Men” is shored up with increasingly personalized conversations between Daru and Mohamed that explain the men, their lives and times. At one point, they come across a small detachment of Algerian guerrillas that includes Slimane (Djemel Barek), a former army compatriot of Daru’s, and which for a short, eventful interlude swallows the travelers up. Mr. Oelhoffen sometimes explains too much, but his work with the actors is precise and delicate. Both Mr. Kateb and Mr. Mortensen, who deliver their dialogue in Arabic and French (Mr. Mortensen also speaks a little Spanish), are generous performers and they share the screen easily. They’re playing nomads from separate histories and cultures who, in their radical isolation, turn out to be right at home.

Question: What team Gallardo is in currently?

The active leader among pitchers is Yovani Gallardo, with 12. Gallardo, 29, was traded before the season from the Brewers to the Rangers in the American League, so his opportunities to add to that total will be limited. Bumgarner was lauded for his astonishing postseason pitching performance last year, but he has some pop in his bat, too.

Question: Who wrote the Dept. of Speculation?

Having gotten to know these people and watched their undoing as if it were a slow-motion car accident, we long for a happy ending. There can be second acts in seemingly broken marriages. (Read Jenny Offill’s “Dept. of Speculation” for a recent literary example.) But in a daring interim chapter called “That Year and Those That Followed,” Ms. Pierpont widens her lens, temporarily abandoning her pointillistic moment-by-moment descriptions for a panoramic shot that sweeps years into paragraphs, projecting far out into the Shanleys’ future. It has the leaden sting of inevitability and cannot help dampening what is still to come. The die is cast, she seems to be saying. There is no going back.

Question: What is the primary focus of the Same-Sex Marriage in the Military discussion?

Question: What needed to be done with the rank- and- file?

To be clear, Mr. Bratton carefully left open any precise exit date. He simply said he would stay long enough to fulfill a number of prime goals: keeping crime at “very low levels”; addressing “the racial tensions that exist in this city and have grown significantly around the country over the past year around the criminal justice system”; building morale among the rank-and-file; and, “most importantly,” keeping “the image of this city as the safest large city in America.” “Our crime numbers are fast approaching the point where we can arguably say that we’re one of the safest, if not the safest, large city in the world,” he said. “Our numbers are starting to look like London’s numbers and Paris’s numbers.”

Question: How much per week was Mr Edwards able to earn in the tailor shop[?

During an interview last week at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Westchester County, Mr. Nuñez showed reporters purple scars around his right ankle that he said were the result of CERT officers’ intentionally shackling him too tightly. Some of the former honor block residents have lost privileges that had taken years to earn at Clinton. Mr. Edwards, who had supervised 50 inmates at the prison tailor shop, had been able to earn as much as $45 a week. Since being moved to Sing Sing, he has been working as a porter making $3 a week. “They took everything from me,” he said. “They did everything they could to blame the ones who stayed.”
