Question: Which number estimate will be published later this year?

The upward revisions to core capital goods shipments, combined with a report on Monday showing stronger construction spending in May and April than previously reported, suggest second-quarter G.D.P. could be revised higher when the government publishes its second estimate later this year. The Commerce Department reported last week that the economy expanded at a 2.3 percent annual pace in the second quarter. A 0.6 percent increase in manufacturing inventories in June also pointed to an upward revision to second-quarter G.D.P. The rise in inventories followed a 0.1 percent gain in May. Unfilled orders at factories were unchanged in June after two straight months of decreases, potentially signaling stability in factory activity.

Question: What league is facing litigation from former players?

Women’s hockey is a growing sport, evolving through quicker and stronger players who are finally being rewarded for their talents as paid professional athletes. But concussions have kept some of the best players away from the ice for extended periods as the sport struggles to combat an issue that football and men’s hockey have failed at times to properly address. The N.H.L. is facing litigation, with former players accusing the league of glorifying violence and ignoring the dangers of repeated head injuries. “The amount of players still getting concussions on the national level and college level, it’s too many,” said Pucci, whose sister’s hockey career was also ended by a concussion.

Question: What material was used to describe the fit of the dress?

Her shrewdly calibrated allure, which easily rivaled that of any first lady in recent memory, suggests that Mrs. Obama has embraced an enviable position at the intersection of pop culture and politics — just because she can. With her time in the White House about to expire, Mrs. Obama — who has flirted in the past with fashion’s cutting edge, igniting flurries of debate with her bangs and bare, gym-toned arms — has irrevocably pulled out the stops. Of late, Mrs. Obama seemed to have largely ceded much of fashion’s spotlight to her 17-year-old daughter, Malia, a style setter to any number of fashion besotted girls her age. But the first lady has snatched back the focus, permitting herself to dazzle in a dress that clung to her hips like cellophane and showed a nervy hint of cleavage. (It was also in sharp contrast to the two outfits she wore to meet Pope Francis earlier in the week: one a demure cowl-neck, turquoise Carolina Herrera dress, the other a black, lacy, but equally modest Monique Lhuillier.)

Question: How long did it take for him to reach enlightenment?

In his life as Vessantara, the Buddha earned his karmic wings and was reborn just one last time as another prince, Siddhartha. For some years, Siddhartha lived a bubble-baby existence. But news of reality, cold and harsh, seeped in. He knew he had to face it, and one night he left home for good, his horse carried aloft by gods so its hoof beats wouldn’t be heard. Then finally, after years of self-searching, he arrived at a letting-go enlightenment, though not before certain celestial no-goodniks tried to block his way. We see two of them, potbellied, green of skin, weapons drawn, clomping across a glazed 15th-century temple tile.

Question: Which charter schools network have been closely looked at for their severe behavior codes?

Charter schools are publicly financed, but privately run, and they are required, like regular public schools, to provide individual learning plans for children with special needs. The suit comes at a time when charter schools, especially those in the Success Academy network, have come under scrutiny for their enforcement of strict behavior codes, suspending even the youngest students. But advocates and families say that in both charters and traditional public schools, it can often be a struggle to ensure children with disabilities receive the services to which they are entitled.

Question: Who did Barney Frank Marry?

9 P.M. (Showtime) COMPARED TO WHAT? THE IMPROBABLE JOURNEY OF BARNEY FRANK (2015) Retirement, according to the cranky Mr. Frank, has some benefits. “I don’t even have to pretend to try to be nice to people I don’t like,” that Massachusetts representative and Democrat said before stepping down in 2013, tapping into what Rachel Maddow called “a sense of humor that he wields like a wrecking ball.” This documentary chronicles Mr. Frank’s 32 turbulent years in Congress, where he was chairman of the Financial Services Committee as Wall Street was imploding. He also became the first sitting member to marry a same-sex partner when, in 2012, he and Jim Ready promised to love each other “for better or for worse, on MSNBC or on Fox.” (Image: Mr. Frank, center, and Mr. Ready, right)

Question: Malta has double taxation treaties with how many nations?

The tax system, in particular, has been a boon. Some foreign companies can be structured to pay 5 percent in corporate taxes. Malta also has double taxation treaties with 65 countries, allowing individuals and businesses to avoid being taxed in two places. Significant tax advantages and a pro-business regulator have created a booming financial services industry. It now represents 12 to 15 percent of the country’s G.D.P., up from 6.3 percent in 2004. Online gambling companies have flocked to the island, as have hedge funds. With a strong corporate base, Malta sailed through the economic crisis relatively unscathed. The economy grew 3.5 percent in 2014. Unemployment is 5.8 percent, the fourth-lowest in Europe. Malta was looking to expand that economic growth through the citizenship program. Under the initial plan in 2013, the newly installed Labor Party government proposed selling passports for €650,000, with few other requirements for citizenship. Almost immediately, it drew protests. The country, critics argued, was not an economic basket case like other European nations trying similar programs. They also worried that the program would damage its reputation as an attractive place to do business. “We do not want to form part of a law which prostitutes Malta’s identity and its citizenship,” Mario de Marco, a vocal member of the opposition, said during the debate. The opposition took the program to the European Parliament in an effort to block it. While the Parliament condemned the program, it could do little else, because citizenship is controlled by national governments. To placate the Parliament and the opposition, the government raised the bar for citizenship. Strict due diligence standards were set to weed out money launderers and criminals. It also raised the cost and adopted a residency requirement. In addition to the €650,000 fee to the government, applicants must now invest €150,000 in government bonds, buy property for at least €350,000 or rent a place for at least €16,000 a year — all of which must be held for at least five years. “This is not ‘tick the box,’” said Mr. Cardona, the chief of the program. Mr. Hyzler, the lawyer, and others note that the newcomers are establishing real links to Malta. They are setting up bank accounts and buying health insurance, both of which are required. They are also joining country clubs and donating to local charities, which is encouraged. “Clients genuinely want to do more than just make the investment,” said Mark Stannard, managing director of the Maltese office of Henley & Partners, a residence and citizenship planning firm. He said a Saudi national with a Lebanese passport who had applied for Maltese citizenship had recently returned with a delegation of 12 to consider setting up businesses in aviation, life sciences and real estate.

Question: Which work did the research group recently publish?

Now he has returned to the research: In the Green Neuroscience Laboratory, a sandboxlike table is home to small robot used to model neural network behavior. The research group recently published work exploring the basis of neural activity needed to support movement in an environment. But Dr. Ohayon is treading gingerly, looking for ways to ensure that his findings are not misused. “We have to treat neuroscience and robotics like we treat biological and chemical weapons,” he said. Dr. Lam and Dr. Ohayon have decided that all of their research projects must have two components.

Question: Who could pressure Maduro?

There are however, ways that the Assembly could pressure Mr. Maduro to shift course economically. It can remove cabinet ministers, like the finance minister, and it can vote to remove the directors of the central bank. An alternative would be for the Assembly and Mr. Maduro to find a way to work together, particularly on economic policy, perhaps even with the president appointing some opposition members to his cabinet. So far, Mr. Maduro has given no indication that he is open to that approach. He quickly accepted the opposition victory after results were released early Monday morning, but he also blamed what he called an economic war for his party’s defeat, a war that he said was being waged against his government and the country by shadowy capitalist forces.

Question: who was a large donor to Mr. Menedez

Judge Walls rejected each of those arguments. He said there was no indication that the grand jury had been handled improperly, and concluded that political contributions can be considered “things of value to influence official acts.” “The Constitution does not protect an attempt to influence a public official’s acts through improper means, such as the bribery scheme that has been alleged in this case,” he wrote in his decision. Mr. Menendez, a Democrat, was indicted in April on charges that he accepted personal gifts, including private plane trips and luxury accommodations in the Dominican Republic, from Dr. Melgen, and lobbied in return for Dr. Melgen’s interests in Washington. A wealthy Florida eye surgeon, Dr. Melgen was a major contributor to Mr. Menendez’s political campaigns, and to a “super PAC” supporting his last re-election bid in 2012.

Question: What will qualify you for a parental awesomeness badge?

It may be a good weekend for some French toast amandine. Or for some light, fluffy pancakes. (If you’re hosting a sleepover and want to qualify for a parental-awesomeness badge, you may turn hard toward Bobby Flay’s recipe for double-chocolate pancakes with salted caramel sauce.) It’s definitely a good weekend for baking cookies. We’re partial to Julia Moskin’s recipe for bacon fat gingersnaps on a Saturday afternoon, and to Kim Severson’s recipe for chewy chocolate snowcaps as well. And while we’ve got the scale out, we’ll make up a batch of Julia’s perfect corn muffin mix, so we can knock down some muffins for breakfast in the middle of next week. (The next day, we’ll take the leftovers and slice them in half, then toast them in butter until they’re brown and crisp. Which makes the better breakfast? You decide!)

Question: Who was likely to win the FIFA presidential race?

Ecclestone actually said this was sport, not politics. He held his race and stood side-by-side with Putin last October. Sochi, of course, hosted the 2014 Winter Games, despite concerns at the time about corruption, spiraling costs, terrorism and Russian legislation that was criticized as anti-gay. “Keep politics from our sport” was and still is the message. Putin has already stated that the Kremlin will waive visa restrictions for the World Cup. Blatter will soon run, and most likely easily win, another four-year term as FIFA president, taking him through the 2018 event. He will accept that mantle with his customary lecture about soccer overcoming all the beastly differences that mankind makes for itself.

Answer: Blatter

Ecclestone actually said this was sport, not politics. He held his race and stood side-by-side with Putin last October. Sochi, of course, hosted the 2014 Winter Games, despite concerns at the time about corruption, spiraling costs, terrorism and Russian legislation that was criticized as anti-gay. “Keep politics from our sport” was and still is the message.

Question: Who has not been able to explain the extended time it took to discover the information breach?

Democratic and Republican lawmakers have been unsparing in their criticism of the personnel agency’s handling of the data breach and its aftermath — and its habit of periodically revising upward the amount of information that was lost. Government officials have not been able to explain publicly why it took more than a year to discover that information was leaving its systems at a tremendous rate. Senator Mark Warner, Democrat of Virginia, said in a statement on Wednesday that “the massive new number of employees’ fingerprints that was breached is shocking.” He continued, “And it does little to instill confidence in O.P.M. that it took them so long to detect that the number was so much larger than originally thought.” He called for “lifetime identity protection coverage” for the affected employees and contractors. But that assumes there was a financial motive to the theft; officials say it seems more likely that it was a national security motive.

Question: Where is Hamid from?

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: Where does Steward Johnson lives?

Steward Johnson, 25, a consultant who lives in Midtown Manhattan, was more concerned with the name appearing alongside the image: “Bill de Blasio, Mayor.” The ad promoted the city’s “Made in NY” effort supporting local film production. “It probably isn’t smart for the mayor to have his name plastered on an advertisement such as this,” Mr. Johnson said with a laugh. In another car, there were ads in English and Spanish for free “Kyng” size condoms from the city’s health department, part of a continuing public service campaign to promote safe sex. Mr. Rachmany of Dumbo Moving argues that those ads are more explicit than his because they refer directly to sex.

Question: Many teachers likely came in  with what trait to their classrooms, according to the author?

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how Tarcisius might have gotten away unscathed. Maybe by pretending to have a sore throat? It seemed important to identify the best strategy, because some modern-day version of the Huns or pagan Romans could arrive at any minute. Catholicism was, as I learned after the Pius XII incident, the largest faith in my city. Many of our teachers were probably only a generation away from being picked-on immigrants, and maybe they brought their sense of paranoia with them to the classrooms. That’s understandable, but being both the powerful majority and the persecuted minority is like having your cake and eating it, and then taking over the bakery and bolting the front door. This brings us back to Pope Francis, a humble man who accepts that he’s very powerful. He may have a little car and a modest home, but when he looks out at the world, his gaze isn’t defensive. He wants Catholicism to thrive — on a planet without global warming. He knows there are places where Catholics are suffering terribly for their faith, but when he looks at an embattled flock, he also sees Muslim immigrants who need Christian countries to open their borders.

Question: What program is ms pierpont a graduate?

This is the first novel by Ms. Pierpont, a graduate of New York University’s creative writing program, and it shows a remarkably mature understanding of the delicate emotional balances in families — how feelings can flow back and forth like electricity in some kind of zero-sum game — and the subtle, irrational vicissitudes of people’s psyches. We follow first one character and then another as each tries to manage what has happened. It is an old story, a crumbling marriage, but Ms. Pierpont gives it fresh insights, making the particular unhappiness (and occasional happiness) of the Shanleys by turns poignant, funny and very sad.

Question: How much of the firms clients were of buy and hold investors?

“We live in a low rate environment in which insurance companies and pension funds have to invest their money,” said Laurence D. Fink, the chief executive of BlackRock, who noted that three-quarters of the firm’s clients were these types of buy-and-hold investors. “We are their agents, and we are investing money for them.” Still, Hyun Song Shin, a top economist at the Bank for International Settlements, a banking and research center for central banks worldwide, argued on Wednesday that this relentless reach for yield by such investors might just as well signal a good old-fashioned investment bubble.

Question: What is the name of the theater in the West End?

Because of an editing error, the Frugal Traveler column last Sunday, about a budget-friendly day in London, misstated, in one instance, the name of a theater in the West End. As the column correctly noted elsewhere, it is the St. James, not the St. James’s. The column also referred imprecisely to a route to the Stepney Green Underground station in East London. While it is possible to get to Stepney Green from Victoria station on the Circle line in 23 minutes, it requires a transfer; it is not direct. (The District line takes about the same time and is direct.) MAGAZINE

Question: What fundamental pillar of democracy is at stack ??

SAN FRANCISCO — TODAY, we’re filing a lawsuit against the National Security Agency to protect the rights of the 500 million people who use Wikipedia every month. We’re doing so because a fundamental pillar of democracy is at stake: the free exchange of knowledge and ideas. Our lawsuit says that the N.S.A.’s mass surveillance of Internet traffic on American soil — often called “upstream” surveillance — violates the Fourth Amendment, which protects the right to privacy, as well as the First Amendment, which protects the freedoms of expression and association. We also argue that this agency activity exceeds the authority granted by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that Congress amended in 2008.

Question: When was Dr. Shatz's letter written?

“These researchers had deliberately withheld treatment for this group of poor, uneducated, black sharecroppers,” he added, “in order to document what eventually might happen to them. I became incensed. How could physicians, who were trained first and foremost to do no harm, deliberately withhold curative treatment so they could understand the natural history of syphilis?” In 1964, Dr. Schatz was just four years out of medical school and working as a cardiologist at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. No one ever responded to Dr. Schatz’s letter, written in 1965, but its discovery in 1972 helped frame a national debate over patients’ rights that generated new standards for research involving human subjects. Dr. Schatz (pronounced SHOTZ) died of metastatic melanoma at his home in Honolulu, his wife, Barbara, said. He was 83.

Question: What language was the indictment in?

TEL AVIV, Israel — An Israeli court on Tuesday sentenced a Palestinian for incitement and for supporting a terrorist organization based on Facebook posts that applauded militant attacks, his lawyer said. It was a rare case in which statements on social media were regarded as a crime. The defendant, Omar Shalabi, 45, a father of six from East Jerusalem, was sentenced to nine months in jail for 10 posts to his 5,000 friends and 755 followers that urged them to undertake “violent acts and acts of terrorism,” said the Hebrew-language indictment. Legal rights groups said it was unusual for an Israeli court to accept speech on social media as a basis for conviction. But they said that in recent months the Israeli police had detained several Palestinians from East Jerusalem and Arab citizens of Israel for incitement over comments made on their social media networks.

Question: What's the aim of the democratic super PAC?

Ever since the Supreme Court permitted political committees to raise unlimited sums for independent spending, the super PAC has occupied a growing place in the political ecosystem. The 2012 version of presidential super PACs mainly paid for ads. Restore Our Future, the PAC supporting Mr. Romney, spent 97.6 percent of its $142 million in independent expenditures — messages advocating Mr. Romney’s election or the defeat of his opponents — on broadcast ads and mail. Priorities USA Action, which backed Mr. Obama, spent almost exclusively on TV, radio and online advertising, according to Federal Election Commission records. Together with the national parties, both sides managed to raise and spend nearly $2 billion. Some donors balked at giving large amounts of money for negative television ads, so a Democratic super PAC was created to help conduct opposition research.

Question: When can an agreement be announced?

NXP Semiconductors, a big chip manufacturer, is near a deal to acquire a smaller peer, Freescale Semiconductor, in a cash-and-stock transaction, people briefed on the matter said on Sunday.

If completed, the combination would unite two big makers of chips for industries ranging from automobiles to networking to mobile payments. As of Friday evening, NXP had a market value of about $21 billion, while Freescale had a market capitalization of about $11 billion.

Question: Who complained last year for the breast enhancement ad?

“Sex does sell, but does it sell a moving service?” Mr. Crutchfield said. “I would have to question whether that is appropriate.” The state-run Metropolitan Transportation Authority says it is trying to maintain a family-friendly environment for passengers young and old.

The governor’s office complained last year about the breast enhancement ad, citing a report in The Daily News that compared it to a strip club billboard, and asked the agency to review its standards.

Mara said that various Giants officials had contacted Pierre-Paul since the accident, including Coach Tom Coughlin, who said on Thursday that his text to Pierre-Paul immediately after the accident went unanswered. “We’re all concerned about this young man first and foremost,” Coughlin said after a brief Giants workout. “But it is difficult to extend this concern when we feel like he should be here.” Like Mara, Coughlin said that Pierre-Paul’s absence would not sour his relationship with the team. “As far as souring, that’s not going to sour anything,” Coughlin said. “I am concerned about him as a young man and anxious to know exactly what he’s dealing with, and then we will know what we’re dealing with.”

Question: What were the justices analysis based on?

In two opinions, five justices accepted Mr. Yates’s argument that fish were not the sort of tangible objects with which the law was concerned. Their analysis was based on a close reading of the words and structure of the law. The case arose from a 2007 search of the Miss Katie, Mr. Yates’s fishing vessel. A Florida field officer, John Jones, boarded it at sea and noticed fish that seemed less than 20 inches long, which was under the minimum legal size of red grouper at the time. Mr. Jones, an officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and a federal deputy, measured the fish and placed the 72 he deemed too small in a crate. He issued a citation and instructed Mr. Yates to take the crate to port for seizure. But Mr. Yates had the fish thrown overboard and replaced with larger ones. A second inspection in port aroused suspicions, and a crew member eventually told law enforcement officials what had happened.

Question: Before the 401(k) and IRAs, how long did a long term employee continue to be paid by their employer after retirement?

Here is a short tale of how the way Americans save for retirement has changed over the last couple of generations. It helps explain what the Obama administration is up to with a new initiative this week: Once upon a time, companies took it as their responsibility to ensure that their workers could enjoy a comfortable retirement. They socked money away in a pension plan that paid longtime employees a healthy fraction of their salary from the day they retired to the day they died. Employers took on all the risk — the stock market dropping, people living longer than expected. And then along came new vehicles like the 401(k) and the Individual Retirement Account. These allowed ordinary Americans to take charge of their retirement savings themselves — to put money into tax-advantaged accounts and withdraw it when needed. But they also left people exposed to the vicissitudes of markets, the risk of saving too little or investing poorly, not to mention the possibility of outliving their savings. People were also at risk of getting advice from venal investment advisers guiding them toward investments with high fees or high risk because those products provided the advisers with high, frequently undisclosed commissions.

Answer: from the day they retired to the day they died

Question: What was a Greentech trying to get for their Chinese Investors?

As Mrs. Clinton began her 2016 campaign for the presidency, Hugh Rodham and Roger Clinton had faded from public view, but Tony Rodham emerged as a controversial figure. A government investigation in March found that GreenTech, which sought green cards for its Chinese investors through an American government program, had received special treatment in the handling of its visa applications. The report described instances when Mr. McAuliffe and Mr. Rodham contacted an official from the Department of Homeland Security to complain about the pace of the visa process.

Question: What does Arcane law support?

Needles sits above one of those shallow bowls, a subterranean valley packed with porous gravel that is easily filled with water. And so a funny thing happens when Needles pumps its water from underground: No matter how much the city uses, the water level in the local groundwater wells never drops. Instead, water is sucked out of the Colorado River bed, underground, toward the wells, filling any subterranean void. Because the earth is especially porous along the Colorado, the water essentially spills out the river’s bottom, unseen, filling a geologic bathtub beneath Needles and its nearby terrain, and refilling the aquifer. There are lots of ways water in the West is being mismanaged: farming subsidies for water-intensive crops; arcane laws encouraging waste; leaky infrastructure. But none may be more significant than refusing to accept the fact that the West’s water resources are interconnected.

Question: Replacing fat with what food group does not protect against cardiovascular problems?

So, as the guidelines have recommended cutting down on meat, especially red meat, this meant that many people began to increase their consumption of carbohydrates. Decades later, it’s not hard to find evidence that this might have been a bad move. Many now believe that excessive carbohydrate consumption may be contributing to the obesity and diabetes epidemics. A Cochrane Review of all randomized controlled trials of reduced or modified dietary fat interventions found that replacing fat with carbohydrates does not protect even against cardiovascular problems, let alone death. Interestingly, the new dietary recommendations may acknowledge this as well, dropping the recommendation to limit overall fat consumption in favor of a more refined recommendation to limit only saturated fat. Even that recommendation is hotly contested by some, though. The committee is also bending a bit on salt, putting less emphasis on the 1,500-milligram daily limit on sodium for special populations, in light of the mounting evidence that too little sodium may be as bad as too much, if not worse.

Question: Why Newberg want consideration for a casino?

But the Southern Tier is not the only area with impoverished communities hoping that a casino, or any other initiative, would spur a reversal of fortunes. Some of them are now demanding equal treatment with the Southern Tier. Judith L. Kennedy, the mayor of Newburgh, 70 miles north of New York City, sent a letter on Tuesday expressing “strenuous objections” that her onetime industrial city had been excluded from consideration for a fourth casino license. The unemployment rate in Newburgh is 8.5 percent, a good deal higher than the Southern Tier. “We ask for a fair process that includes Newburgh where all proposals can be analyzed and vetted on the merits,” the letter said. The developers behind a proposed $640 million casino project on the grounds of the now-defunct Nevele resort in the Catskills also asked for equal consideration for the fourth license, which they say is the “last chance for Ellenville and for the iconic resort.” The developer told the Gaming Commission that it was negotiating with a strong company, RatPac Entertainment — a joint venture of Brett Ratner, a Hollywood producer, and James Packer, an Australian billionaire and casino operator — to take over the project.
