Question: What type of story has the same drama as this one?

With the simplicity of a fable and the drama of a psychological thriller, Ball tells a story about starting over from nothing, reconstructing life from its most basic elements. These acts of narrative deconstruction highlight his strength as a deeply questioning writer at home in fact as much as abstraction. In the village’s cemetery, Ball deconstructs death. Noting that gravestones are “irrational” because they prolong suffering while failing to bring back the dead, the claimant wonders: “But, if life is just that, just being reasonable, then there is nothing in it — nothing worthwhile. So, the yearning that we have to keep dead things living — or to make unreasonable things reasonable. That is why a person should live.”

Question: Where does Steve Cainas work as a production assistant?

Steve Cainas, 43, who received an associate’s degree in film from Full Sail in 1992, makes his living in Atlanta as a production coordinator. An inductee to Full Sail’s Hall of Fame, honoring its most successful alums, Mr. Cainas has production coordinator credits on several films and TV series, including Parts 1 and 2 of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” and HBO’s “True Detective.” “A lot of these kids coming out now think they can just send a couple emails and get a great job,” he said. “It doesn’t work that way. If you network like crazy and put what you learn into action, you will be just fine.”

Question: Who had grown appointed with "established" science?

Dr. Coggan had earlier grown disappointed with the “establishment” science in which, he says, academic research and corporate profit priorities are increasingly indistinguishable. He bootstrapped the research laboratory with his own money and now supports it with funding from a variety of private individual contributions and scientific research grants. NeuroLinx now supports a range of research projects, including an exploration of the way dolphins sleep, an effort to create a computer simulation of the ubiquitous lab worm C. elegans (known as the Open Worm project), and an exploration of nerve damage in diseases like multiple sclerosis. Dr. Ohayon had done early research in the field of autonomous agents based on neural networks, computing models inspired by biological nervous systems, but stopped for almost a decade because of worries about military applications of the technology.

Question: How many percentage of California's water is from underground?

As it happens, Needles gets most of its water from underground — pumping an average of about 700 million gallons a year from four wells it has drilled into the local aquifer. In recent years, such withdrawals have taken on more importance in the West, particularly in California and Arizona, as streams shrivel, rivers are fought over and reservoirs run dry. About 60 percent of California’s water now comes from underground, according to estimates by NASA researchers. Arizona, staring down imminent rationing of Colorado River water, pumps nearly half its supplies from aquifers.

Question: Which conference is a league of historically black colleges?

“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 kind of family was the author's family considered within his neighborhood?

In our neighborhood, we were the small family, at least among the Irish and Italians. A few doors down, there were 12 kids in one house, 14 in another. We could almost field a full baseball team. But the Flynns, they could put an entire football lineup on a snowy field at Thanksgiving, with reserves. My mother agonized over what to do. She was devout, though starting to read progressive Catholic magazines like Commonweal, which published the essays of Hannah Arendt and the poetry of W.H. Auden. We loved Robert F. Kennedy’s family: 11 kids, and Ethel looks great. Bobby himself was the seventh of nine. Of course, they had money, so it looked glamorous.

Question: How many points did Michael Gbinije score?

St. John’s did what it had not been doing most of the season — shoot well and control the boards — and the Red Storm delighted the Madison Square Garden crowd in beating Syracuse, 84-72. The matchup on Sunday was the programs’ first since Jan. 19, 1977, in which Jim Boeheim was not coaching the Orange, a span of 63 games. This was the third game of his nine-game N.C.A.A. ban. The freshman Federico Mussini had 17 points, and four other players scored in double figures for the Red Storm (7-3), who won their third straight. The Orange had won nine of the previous 10 meetings; they lead the series by 51-39. St. John’s had not beaten Syracuse at the Garden since 2007. “This was the best win of my life in the world’s most famous arena,” Mussini said. “Nothing better than this.” Michael Gbinije’s 21 points led Syracuse (7-3), which has lost three of four. The Red Storm shot 30 of 61, including 12 of 24 from 3-point range, well above their season averages. Syracuse shot 5 of 26 from beyond the arc.

Question: Where does H. Rodgin Cohen work?

The Wall Street lawyer H. Rodgin Cohen hit a sour regulatory note this week. Mr. Cohen, Sullivan & Cromwell’s top bank advocate, thinks watchdogs have gone overboard to prove they’re not captured by the industry. That may resonate with many in Congress, where a bill to blunt the work of bank examiners is making the rounds. But the 2008 financial crisis exposed the necessity of more robust oversight. Although firms overstate the pain, room remains to ensure that regulators are constructive, rather than overzealous.

Question: What night did Joan Shelley perform in Brooklyn?

Stars shine overhead, and rivers flow nearby in songs by Joan Shelley, who performed on Thursday night at Union Pool in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Her music is folky and pastoral, with a sense of scale that makes her humble about her place in mankind and the universe, and her songs are serene but never complacent. In “Electric Ursa,” the title song of her current album (No Quarter Records), Ms. Shelley sang, “Under your stars, your earthless movement/We are only feeble humans.”

Question: What was the name of Alan Cumming's one man show?

PHOENIX —  The eye was inexorably drawn to LeBron James during his return to the Cleveland Cavaliers’ lineup on Tuesday night. In a 107-100 loss to the Phoenix Suns — Cleveland’s sixth straight defeat and ninth in 10 games — James played so many roles it was as if he were channeling the actor Alan Cumming in his 2013 one-man Broadway show, “Macbeth.” Except no Cavaliers fans were applauding at the end. Their team is now below .500, with a 19-20 record no one could have foreseen before the season began. James’s homecoming has clearly run aground.

Question: Who ruled on a crucial smartphone patent case in 2012?

Warning of the business impact of legal uncertainty, the National Association of Manufacturers wrote a friend-of-the-court brief urging the Supreme Court to take the case. The group said it took no position on the criminal or civil cases. Instead, the trade association called for clarity. “Companies,” the brief states, “need to know where the legal lines are drawn in order to structure their transactions for goods intended for eventual import into the United States.” Richard A. Posner, a federal appeals court judge and a prominent legal theorist, wrote the opinion in the Motorola case. His opinions, law scholars note, are as much conceptual essays as legal documents — often debated, and never boring. His ruling in a smartphone patent case in 2012, for example, was a sweeping critique of the patent system, describing it as a system in “chaos.”

Question: What would illegal documents not need to qualify for the health coverage?

The Senate on Tuesday approved legislation that would make California the first state to extend health coverage to children who are in the country illegally and seek federal authorization to sell private insurance to immigrants without documentation. The bill would allow children under 19 from low-income families to qualify for state-funded Medi-Cal, regardless of their legal status. It would seek a federal waiver for California to sell unsubsidized private insurance through the state’s health exchange. The bill goes to the Assembly. Gov. Jerry Brown has not said whether he would sign it.

Question: Who did John Kerry meet with?

Secretary of State John Kerry met with European ministers over the weekend to discuss harsher economic sanctions against Russia because of the conflict in Ukraine. While that meeting took place in London, Vitaly Mutko, Russia’s minister of sports, tourism and youth, gave one of his periodic reassurances that everything is on target for 2018. It is closer than we may think. “The eyes of the footballing world will be on St. Petersburg on Saturday 25 July,” read a FIFA reminder last week that the World Cup preliminary draw is just months away.

Question: When does Jessie come back?

Soon it becomes clear from the wails that Mann needs to intervene in the dispute. But by the time Jessie comes running up the stairs in tears, shouting “I hate her, Mommy” and disappearing into the woods, the opportunity for peacemaking has slipped away. Our interview falls off into awkward silence. Ten minutes later, however, tears dried, Jessie is prowling around in the cabin, having spontaneously fashioned a skirt and bolero for herself out of green leaves, like a sprite of nature. Acting quickly to seize the moment, Mann sets up her Toyo on the tripod. Disappearing beneath the photographer’s cloth, her hands protruding as they adjust the knobs that control the accordionlike bellows, she tilts and focuses the image that appears upside down on the screen at the back of the camera. The process takes several long minutes.

Question: What continent did the foods come from?

MOSCOW —  In recent years, trade relations between Russia and the Netherlands have at times blossomed and at times wilted. This summer they went up in smoke. A week after Russia began burning and burying European food items like cheese and peaches deemed to have been imported illegally, Russian agricultural inspectors started torching flowers from the Netherlands that they said were insect ridden, in what has become known locally as the flower war. While similar to the food demolition, which brought widespread outrage as well as the production of satirical videos like the popular “Death of a Parmesan,” the politics behind the flower war are distinct.

Question: What are common symptoms of spice use?

The cases, which can involve spice alone or in combination with other substances, have appeared four times as often this year as in 2014, the organization said. On Thursday alone there were 172 reports, by far the most in one day this year. Health departments in Alabama, Mississippi and New York have issued alerts this month about more spice users being rushed to hospitals experiencing extreme anxiety, violent behavior and delusions, with some of the cases resulting in death. Similar increases have occurred in Arizona, Florida, New Jersey and Texas.

Question: What is Britain's most popular newspaper?

The right-wing Sun, still Britain’s most popular newspaper, said in an editorial that “if there are possible votes in it, Miliband’s there — spouting off in a comical Mockney accent,” a fake Cockney accent, “about sticking it to the tax-dodging corporations.” Prime Minister David Cameron, the Conservative Party leader, said earlier: “Russell Brand is a joke. Ed Miliband, to hang out with Russell Brand, he’s a joke.” But Mr. Miliband was unbowed. He told reporters, “I will do anything and engage with anyone to try and persuade people to vote.” And his supporters, including the Guardian commentator Owen Jones, praised his effort to reach those Britons who feel alienated by politicians and the system in general. In a coda to the interview, Mr. Brand praised Mr. Miliband for being “prepared to come round here and talk to us.”

Question: What city in Oregon did Harper and her son live in?

“Fact: Before my son was even born, I was reading out loud to him from Donald Trump’s ‘The Art of the Deal,’” she wrote. “And as for the ‘gesture effect,’ I was practically a mime. And now my son invests in the stock market along with me, turns a profit and is working on a degree in finance. His language and reading skills are phenomenal. I tell you this because it’s not too late for you to start helping your daughter.” It is not clear where — or if — Mr. Harper-Mercer had pursued such a degree. Little has been disclosed about his studies at Umpqua. In California, Mr. Harper-Mercer was enrolled at El Camino College from 2010 to 2012, but officials there would not confirm whether he obtained any degree or certification. Both son and mother moved to Oregon about two years ago; Mr. Mercer said he had not seen either of them since then. Neighbors in the apartment building here where the mother and son lived said that Mr. Harper-Mercer rarely strayed far. They would see him getting the mail or walking down the road to buy a soda at a market, but said he did not appear to have a job in Roseburg and stayed home most of the day.

Question: Who were referred to as little green men?

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 literary work is Tempest's writing reminiscent of?

we’re the same beings that began, still living in all of our fury and foulness and friction, everyday odysseys, dreams and decisions ... Myths used to be “the stories we used to explain ourselves,” she observes, and to her, myths, like art, are a way to universalize individual dreams and suffering: They lend continuity and weight to the everyday struggles of life — “deadlines, debts, divorces” — and remind us that every person, every passer-by on the street, has an “epic narrative” within. At times, the people in “Brand New Ancients” recall the tired denizens of Eliot’s “Unreal City” in “The Waste Land” — which, the reader remembers, also mentions Tiresias, as one who has “perceived the scene, and foretold the rest” — trudging through their tedious day jobs, then trudging home in the twilight hour. At the same time, Ms. Tempest also gives us more intimate portraits of these characters that are reminiscent of Joyce’s “Dubliners.” She provides glimpses of them at many points in their lives — in childhood, youth, middle age, and on the downward curve toward death; and struggling with love and loss and fear and pride.

Answer: Joyce’s “Dubliners.”

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: Is James a big supporter of Ohio State University or does he not care much about it?

James does know about a young Ohio team whose players stuck together through adversity and played with grit and guts. Not his Cavaliers, mind you, but the Ohio State Buckeyes. Between Monday’s practice and Tuesday’s game, James traveled to and from Texas in a private jet to attend the College Football Playoff championship game. “I’m a big supporter of the university,” James said. “What that school does for the state of Ohio you would only understand if you’re from the state of Ohio.” But you do not have to be from that state to understand that the Cavaliers, at least for the moment, are something of a mess.

Question: Who requested that the authority to review its standards for the ads?

His company submitted three ads as part of its protection-themed campaign: the couple touching amid moving boxes, a father clad in industrial goggles changing a diaper, and a man pleading for help from the Mafia. He moved forward with the other two. The authority reviewed its standards after the request by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s office last year. While it did not result in a formal policy change, officials have worked with advertisers to “come up with a compelling advertising message in a somewhat less explicit way,” Adam Lisberg, a spokesman for the agency, said, adding a comment over the cleavage controversy The News brought about.

Question: How many physicians has Decker seen since her injury?

Paige Decker sustained a career-ending concussion in November 2013 when she was playing for Yale and was blindsided by a check that sent her head crashing to the ice. Decker has visited more than 40 physicians throughout North America, searching to alleviate the daily pains that saturate her nerves and muscles. She often leaves only with misdiagnoses and thousands of dollars in bills that her insurance does not cover. She compared her constant headaches to barbed wire constricting her brain. Decker, 23, left a consulting job in Boston a year ago because of her health. She is largely confined to her parents’ house in Connecticut.

Question: When did Ms. Quick tell her daughter she lied?

As she was dying, Ms. Quick told her daughter that she had lied about the men’s involvement in the fire. Mr. Hale said in an interview on Tuesday that Ms. Quick’s motives to lie may have included liability and an insurance payment that she received (though she testified at the men’s trial that she did not receive such a payment). A fire marshal found what he testified was evidence of arson, but Mr. Hale said evolving fire science meant that the 1980 analysis did not hold up today. Experts’ reports that Mr. Villalobos’s lawyer and the district attorney’s office commissioned as they re-examined the case showed no evidence of arson.

Question: What is the main subect?

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: What two animals are most vet shows heavy on?

Perhaps it seems inefficient to put so much effort into helping individual animals, but the counterweight to that perception is that many of their problems are caused by humans. The rhinoceros, for instance, lost its horn to poachers. Part of the beauty of the presentation is that it lets you work out the ethical issues for yourself rather than beating you over the head with them. That restraint sets “Operation Wild” apart from its cousins on basic cable, where outlets like Animal Planet and the National Geographic Channel have been turning veterinarians into TV stars for years: “Dr. Oakley, Yukon Vet,” “The Incredible Dr. Pol,” “Emergency Vets.” A new entry comes along next Saturday on Animal Planet: “Dr. Jeff, Rocky Mountain Vet.” The differences between that show and “Operation Wild” are pronounced. “Dr. Jeff” is about a Colorado veterinarian named Jeff Young, who has a sprawling practice that includes a mobile clinic. It’s typical of these shows: heavy on cats and dogs, but with a smattering of more exotic domesticated animals. In the premiere, for instance, a camel is gelded.

Question: What needs to happen for today's consumers get better healthcare?

To the Editor: Dr. Jessica Nutik Zitter’s Feb. 8 Sunday Review essay, “Patient Autonomy Gone Wrong” (“The End” series) presents a real-life case showing just some of the problems with paper-based advance directives, especially during the critical decision-making moments in the emergency room. Today’s consumers deserve better care, and to provide it, directives need to be created, updated, accessible and incorporated into treatment. Consumers should do the first two parts so doctors can do the second two parts. “Vincent” wrote a directive, but as Dr. Zitter acknowledges, since it hadn’t been updated in 10 years, there was concern about its relevancy. A simple “yes, these are still my thoughts” comment could have been helpful. If Vincent had included video messages or identified agents who could speak on his behalf, doctors might have been able to better understand and incorporate his goals. Far too often, directives are filed away in a drawer. They don’t get updated, and they are hard to find in a crisis. To truly deliver care in accordance with a person’s wishes, one’s voice should be heard. If the person can’t communicate clearly during the health crisis, an updated, digitally accessible advance medical directive is the next best thing.

Question: Who plays the title character in "Steve Jobs"?

★ ‘Steve Jobs’ (R, 2:02) This three-panel portrait of the Apple co-founder, written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Danny Boyle, portrays Jobs (Michael Fassbender) as a complicated, ambitious man caught in a tangle of messy personal and business relationships. Isolating Jobs at three crucial moments in his career, the film plays like a fast, busy backstage comedy and ends up being a richly intelligent exploration of our ambivalence about technology, genius and consumer capitalism. (Scott) ‘Suffragette’ (PG-13, 1:47) Carey Mulligan plays Maud Watts, a laundry worker in London in 1912 who becomes a militant supporter of women’s voting rights. In telling her story, Sarah Gavron (the director) and Abi Morgan (who wrote the screenplay) hit a few soft and sentimental notes, but they also explore the vital and still relevant connection between feminism and class consciousness in modern democratic politics. (Scott) ‘Tamasha’ (No rating, 2:35, in Hindi) Imtiaz Ali’s Bollywood melodrama begins as an agreeable romance between a vacationing young man (Ranbir Kapoor) and woman (a charismatic but largely squandered Deepika Padukone); morphs into a professional identity crisis for the man; and concludes as a lavish self-serving ode by the director to his own calling. (Webster)

Question: How many consecutive points did Nishikori get in his match against Wawrinka?

Nishikori trailed by 6-1 in the third-set tiebreaker before he saved five consecutive match points to level the score at 6-6, sending the resigned crowd into unlikely excitement. But with Wawrinka pinned behind the baseline on the next point, an attempted drop shot by Nishikori hit the bottom of the net tape and slid down onto his side of the court, sending his coach, Michael Chang, similarly slumping into his seat. The error gave Wawrinka a sixth match point, which he converted with an ace for a spot in the semifinals.

Question: Which other movies of Swanberg's also have appealing honesty and low-key comedy?

“Digging for Fire,” Joe Swanberg’s new feature is, like many of his previous movies, a case study in heterosexual ethics. Its scope is narrow and, the title notwithstanding, it plumbs no great depths. But like Mr. Swanberg’s “Drinking Buddies” and “Happy Christmas,” the film has an appealing honesty and an enjoyably low-key comic style. The opening titles promise a big ensemble, and a good deal of suspense comes from wondering just when some of those intriguing names will show up. It would almost be a spoiler to tell you when and in what capacity they do, but it’s fun to anticipate the arrival of Melanie Lynskey, Sam Elliott, Brie Larson, Chris Messina (who gets naked) and Anna Kendrick (who almost does). Orlando Bloom appears at almost the precise moment you’ve forgotten he was supposed to, wearing a man-bun and an air of rugged weariness.

Question: Which city did the Boko Haram attack after crossing the Komadougou River?

Boko Haram fighters crossed the Komadougou River separating Nigeria from Niger and attacked Bosso, a remote town that is a local seat of government with an open-air market that has been sheltering thousands of refugees from the conflict. An army officer in Niger said the fighters were pushed back after at least three hours of combat. Speaking from Niamey, the capital, the officer said all the Boko Haram fighters who entered Bosso were killed. Other Niger government officials could not be reached on Friday afternoon, and phone lines to Bosso, on Niger’s eastern edge, were not working.

Question: Which political party does Mrs. Clinton belong to?

Moments later, when a college student asked Mrs. Clinton to make a Snapchat video saying, “You’re fired, Donald Trump,” she demurred. “I’m not going to say that,” she said, as if to do so would cross a line. Instead, she agreed to make a lighthearted, quick video for the young man that did not mention Mr. Trump. On Thursday night, when asked about Mr. Trump in an appearance on NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” Mrs. Clinton said, “You know, I have to say, Seth.

Question: What season was the hunt started in?

He started the hunt last summer at open houses. There was always “that essential element that kept you from continuing,” he said. Usually it was size. He was coming from a 5,400-square-foot five-bedroom house, and every one-bedroom he saw seemed small. Places with sufficient space were going for well over $1 million. In one case, he intended to bid, but was told “there are already three offers beyond the asking price,” he said. “This does not happen in Florida.” The mother of an employee at García Media was a friend of Lisa Greenblatt, a saleswoman at Douglas Elliman, who helped him with his search.
