Question: What year was Young an All-Star for Arizona?

“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: What type of works are in the exhibition A New World to Come?

★ ‘For a New World to Come: Experiments in Japanese Art and Photography, 1968-1979’ (through Jan. 10) This exceptionally informative exhibition presents photographs, photography books, paintings, sculptures and videos produced by 29 Japanese artists during a decade of ideological disillusionment following the utopian excitement of the 1960s. Most of the works are black and white and driven by abstract concepts, with many focused on the nature of photography itself. It’s a dry show, but it’s fascinating for its revelation of memes and trends that continue to resonate in photographic art around the world.

Question: Which official has changed his decision on military expansion?

“The Taliban have all of a sudden felt a rush after Kunduz — they are abandoning plans for districts and making runs on cities,” said a senior Afghan official, who like others interviewed about security spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid political risk. The militia expansion plan is a reversal for President Ashraf Ghani, who had long talked about the importance of solidifying “the state monopoly over the use of force” in a country still deeply scarred by its civil war. Militia forces wielded by American-backed warlords were responsible for some of the worst atrocities in that decade-long conflict. Afghan officials who described the new plan, however, bluntly called it a matter of survival: Given a choice between ceding territory to the Taliban and reinforcing areas with semiformal militias deemed abusive and predatory, the government is opting for the latter. Officials said the plan called for the immediate recruitment of an additional 15,000 armed militiamen under the Afghan Local Police program, and according to some accounts that may rise to as many as 30,000. The measure is supposed to focus on beefing up defenses at the district level, potentially freeing up the badly overstretched army and the national police to concentrate their forces for more strategic strikes. While the Americans had long told the Afghan government to respect the 30,000 cap for the force, at least two Afghan officials said that discussions were underway and that the American military had shown interest in finding a way to fund the program’s expansion, which is believed to cost more than the force’s current $120 million annual budget. Mr. Ghani has told his officials he will seek other sources if the American funding does not materialize.

Question: What song were fans encouraged to sing along to during the game?

The bombardment of loud sounds and bright sights was relentless. Every stoppage of play was put to use. The casts of multiple Broadway shows did musical numbers during some of the extra-long timeouts. In others, celebrated retired players associated with New York basketball, including the current Knicks president, Phil Jackson, were honored at center court. Late in the fourth quarter, fans were encouraged to stand for a karaoke version of “New York, New York.” Almost no one did. There was basketball, too, of sorts. Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder took 28 shots, scored 41 points and won the Most Valuable Player Award. LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers led the Eastern Conference with 30 points. It was the second time that an All-Star team exceeded 160 points; last year was the first.

Question: What is planned to be reshaped?

Many universities have decided to drop fossil fuel stocks from their investment portfolios, but the New School in New York City has decided to go a step further. The eclectic, historically progressive school said not only would it divest itself of all fossil fuel investments in coming years, but it is also reshaping the entire curriculum to focus more on climate change and sustainability. The school, which has a strong emphasis on the field of design, sees opportunities in meeting the challenge of climate change and economic growth, said Joel Towers, executive dean of Parsons the New School of Design.

Question: Whose rights does Adalah try to protect?

Mr. Shalabi’s lawyer, Tariq Bargouth, said the basis for the conviction and punishment never established that Mr. Shalabi’s posts had encouraged any specific militant attack. There have been a series of so-called lone-wolf attacks in Jerusalem, in which Palestinian men, without any political backing or leadership, attack Israeli civilians or security officers. Avner Pinchuk, a lawyer with the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, which follows freedom of speech cases, said it was the first time he had heard that “incitement to terror in social media concluded in jail.” Majd Kayyal, the media coordinator for Adalah, an organization that pursues the legal rights of Palestinians in Israel, accused security services of a double standard, saying they had not cracked down on Israeli Jews for incitement to violence online. He said his organization had tracked officials from the police and ambulance services who had encouraged violence against Palestinians on their Facebook pages, without punishment. Mr. Kayyal said he also feared government officials were using the word “incitement” too loosely, saying they had to “prove a relation between what was written, and an incident that happened in reality.”

Question: What year is Joan Miró’s clairvoyant masterpiece from?

“The Birth of the World,” Joan Miró’s clairvoyant masterpiece from 1927, presaged much of postwar American painting — the early date can elicit a double take when you see it at the Museum of Modern Art. Its expansive surface of thin gray pours and washes, and the delicate lines and shapes in black, red and white that dance across them, open a pathway to so much: the automatic drawing of Surrealism, the frank painterliness and scale of Abstract Expressionism and the lightness and elegance of Color Field painting. So when Miró (1893-1983) took tips from the Abstract Expressionists on his first trip to New York in 1947 and again in 1959, he was learning from artists who had already learned from him. This fascinating show proposes that encountering New York painting enabled Miró to lose some of his refinement and play up a roughness and scale only intermittently visible before. Rather than delicate and nib thin, his lines thickened, brightened and became more dominant, no longer subservient to shapes. “Bird in the Night” is spareness itself: not much more than an open black ovoid and a looping red wishbone that effortlessly summon nest, egg and occupant. Elsewhere Miró improvised layer upon layer, adding a parade of harlequin creatures over a big brown splash of runny paint in “Figures, Birds,” and in “Woman and Bird in the Night,” girdling a series of colorful dots and scribbles in black. Nearly every canvas here is a different excursion into paint, materiality and poetic suggestion. The ensemble enlarges and contemporizes Miró, especially in a commercial gallery’s relatively intimate viewing conditions.

Question: What year did Silver become speaker?

“The speaker is not stepping down,” Mr. Whyland said. He added that Mr. Silver’s delegation of his responsibilities “will give him the flexibility he needs so that he can defend himself against these charges, and he is confident that he will be found innocent.” Mr. Silver, 70, who is from the Lower East Side of Manhattan, is accused of abusing his office to obtain $4 million in payoffs. Federal prosecutors said he disguised his windfall by portraying it as legitimate income he earned working part time, ostensibly as a personal injury lawyer. The charges against Mr. Silver threatened to throw the Capitol into turmoil because of the central role that he plays there. The speaker of the Assembly is one of Albany’s “three men in a room,” along with the governor and the State Senate majority leader, who make many of the most important decisions in state government. The new leadership arrangement will be a startling change because of Mr. Silver’s longevity: As governors and other legislators have come and gone, Mr. Silver has remained firmly in place as speaker since 1994.

Question: What may health insurance provide for people?

This argument for the cost savings from universal health coverage makes some intuitive sense, but it’s wrong. There’s strong evidence from a variety of sources that people who have health insurance spend more on medical care than people who don’t. It also turns out that almost all preventive health care costs more than it saves. Those facts don’t mean that giving people health insurance is a waste of money, since those dollars spent may improve their health and financial security. But there are only a few situations in which giving someone more health care will actually end up saving money.

Question: What's Google's favored fomain?

The bigger threat for Google is that the web, the search company’s favored domain, has been increasingly overrun by the world of apps. People now spend more time in apps than in web browsers on their computers and their phones. The rise of apps diminishes Google’s power to determine the fate of competing services. People are starting their shopping searches in the Amazon app, for instance, rather than on Google, so Google’s monkeying with shopping search prominence in its results may not matter very much.

Question: Where can an exhibition on Alberto Burri be seen?

Guggenheim Museum: ‘Alberto Burri: The Trauma of Painting’ (through Jan. 6) This Italian artist’s prescient paintings from the 1950s and early ‘60s — in patched, burned and otherwise abused burlap, plastic or wood — form a lavish, beautiful and admirable, if sometimes monotonous retrospective at the Guggenheim. Unfortunately, he may also inaugurate a bane of current art: the use of found materials so inherently affecting — burlap is one — that they require little of the artist. 1071 Fifth Avenue, at 89th Street, 212-423-3500, guggenheim.org. (Smith) Guggenheim Museum: ‘Photo-Poetics: An Anthology’ (through March 23) Formally complex and expressively reserved, even hermetic. the work by ten photographers in this stimulating show has roots in Conceptualism and takes language, history and speculative thinking as its raw materials. Photographs are structured with the equivalent of poetry’s metrical cadences and internal rhymes, and treated less as generators of translatable ideas than of suggestive metaphors. 1071 Fifth Avenue, at 89th Street, 212-423-3500, guggenheim.org. (Cotter) ★ Jewish Museum: ‘The Power of Pictures: Early Soviet Photography, Early Soviet Film’ (through Feb. 7) Revolutions sell utopias; that’s their job. Art, if it behaves itself and sticks to the right script, can be an important part of the promotional package. That’s the basic tale told by this exhibition of photographs and vintage films of the 1920s and ’30s, but with a question added: What happens to art when the script is drastically revised? Russia was an experiment in progress in the heady years following the 1917 revolution, and avant-garde art, free-spirited by definition, was officially embraced. When Joseph Stalin came to power art became government-dictated propaganda and its makers, often under threat, towed the line. Remarkably, the show presents a dozen films — some familiar, some not — full-length, on a rotating schedule of four a day, in a small viewing theater built into one of the Jewish Museum’s galleries. 1109 Fifth Avenue, at 92nd Street, 212-423-3200, thejewishmuseum.org. (Cotter) ★ Jewish Museum: ‘Unorthodox’ (through March 27) With about 200 putatively unorthodox works crowded into tightly walled-in spaces, this lively show has the feel of an Outsider Art fair — in a good way. The paintings, drawings, collages, assemblages, ceramics, weavings and videos are variously funny, funky, quirky, eccentric, idiosyncratic and visionary. Are they truly unorthodox by the standards of a contemporary art world wherein no one wants to be thought orthodox? No, but that’s O.K. It’s an entertaining and intermittently exhilarating exhibition nonetheless. 1109 Fifth Avenue, at 92nd Street, 212-423-3200, thejewishmuseum.org. (Johnson)

Question: What is the US and Russia's shared goal?

The U.S. fears Russia is using their shared goal of defeating the Islamic State as a pretext for weakening other opponents of Syria’s embattled president. We sum up who’s fighting whom five years into the Syrian crisis. • Cutting jail time. A long-awaited bipartisan proposal to overhaul the criminal justice system, to be unveiled in the Senate today, would reduce jail time for nonviolent offenders. It would cut a 10-year mandatory minimum to five years for those who meet certain criteria and would trim penalties for prior drug offenses. • Election 2016.

Question: Who are the two heroines of the film 'Frozen'?

Ms. Andino, a medical assistant, guessed that the video games might come sooner than she had planned. “Maybe later we’ll try playing Monopoly,” she said. “It eats up a lot of time.” In Midtown Manhattan, Jeremy Brisiel began the morning with no illusions. “We braved the weather yesterday,” he said, describing an outing to Kidville, a children’s gym and play station, with his daughter, Tallulah, 3. “Today, ‘Frozen’ will probably handle it,” he said, citing the sisters who are the film’s heroines. “Anna and Elsa all day.” But Tallulah and her mother, Melle Powers, an actress and teacher, had a better idea: taking an imaginary trip back to the Caribbean resort where they vacationed last week, making pretend sand castles on their small living room floor.

Question: Who is the Director for the movie, "Digging for Fire"?

“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: What does the food waste dilemma require?

Indeed food waste is a major environmental issue. Its implications are broad and complex, as our food system is deeply interconnected with our water and energy systems. When we throw out uneaten food, we throw out the resources that went into it, including water and energy. Crunch the numbers, and about 25 percent of all freshwater consumed every year in the United States is associated with discarded food. And about 2 percent of the American energy budget is thrown away every year as food waste, equivalent to the energy contained in 360 million barrels of oil. Tackling the food waste dilemma requires an all-hands-on-deck approach. The problem must be addressed at many points in the food chain, from farms to retailers, restaurants to municipalities, as well as at home. Local, state and federal governments can and should play an important role in reducing food waste.

Question: What kind of power or capability does Iran want, as briefly as possible?

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech was a fascinating demonstration of political savvy — Israeli political savvy. Here he was in the center of the democratic universe with the guts to tell the United States that it was making a bad deal. To his political base at home, this must have looked heroic. At the same time he made the Republican side of the aisle react like a bunch of sixth graders cheering for Justin Bieber, since the net effect of the speech was to diminish the efforts by the administration to suppress Iran’s hunger for nuclear capacity and make President Obama look weak.

Question: What type of college is Gordon College?

Such tiptoeing around donors opposed to funding any L.G.B.T. programs is becoming less common, Mr. Henry says. Andrew Watt, president of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, also says he believes that any hesitation to court the L.G.B.T. community as a source of donations, for fear of negative reactions or unwelcome perceptions, is vanishing. “I think we’ve gotten to the point that it’s ceasing to be an issue,” he says. But it most certainly was an issue for Gordon College, a multidenominational Christian liberal arts college in Wenham, Mass. Like the Girl Scouts, the college said it was acting in accordance with its core beliefs when, in July 2014, the college’s president, D. Michael Lindsay, along with 13 other evangelical and Roman Catholic leaders, signed a letter to the White House, asking for a religious exemption from a planned order barring federal contractors from discriminating in hiring on the basis of sexual orientation. The on-campus reaction was anger: A petition signed by 3,000 students, faculty and alumni was reportedly sent to Mr. Lindsay, protesting his request for the exemption and accusing him of discrimination. There was other fallout. The mayor of nearby Salem canceled the school’s contract to manage its Old Town Hall, an early 19th-century building now used as an event space and theater.

Question: At what age did RBG's mother graduate?

GS: Perhaps we were living out the unlived lives of our mothers. Mine wanted to be a writer and was a journalist long before I was born. First as a reporter, then an editor at a Toledo newspaper. RBG: My mother was a powerful influence. She made me toe the line. If I didn’t have a perfect report card, she showed her disappointment. PG: Had she been a “perfect report card” kind of girl? RBG: She told a story about bringing home a report card with all A’s to her father. But it didn’t mean anything. She was a girl. My mother graduated from high school at 15 and went to work to support the family because the eldest son went to college. GS: So you were receiving her dreams. She was saying the opposite to you: not that your report card didn’t count, but that it did.

Answer: 15

Question: When Ms. Whitehead left was she going to continue to be a part of the company?

That is in sharp contrast to the introduction of Pfizer’s Viagra, the so-called little blue pill aimed at treating erectile dysfunction in men. Viagra was a blockbuster from the start in 1998 and last year Pfizer sold nearly $1.7 billion of it. With financial help from Sprout, women’s groups and other supporters started a campaign to win F.D.A. approval for Addyi, noting that the agency had approved comparable treatments for men. Sprout’s effort succeeded but the F.D.A.’s approval came with a boxed warning, alerting patients not to take the drug with alcohol. Women with impaired liver function were also advised not to take it. Ms. Whitehead will continue to consult with Valeant and Sprout executives after her departure, according to the statement from Valeant.

Question: The Barcelona Design Musuem has what in both the front and back?

Aficionados of lowbrow aesthetics are also heading to Glòries, thanks to the arresting Encants Barcelona, the new home for the area’s historic flea market — a ramped space, open on the sides, with slender columns supporting an angular reflective metal canopy. Since the market moved here in 2013, it’s been drawing 120,000 antiques- and junk-seekers a week to early morning auctions and the stalls that open directly after the last lot has sold. Ironically, the building housing the Barcelona Design Museum — a squat, zinc-clad structure with front and rear cantilevers — hasn’t exactly been celebrated for its exterior form. Some have taken to calling it “the Stapler.” The museum, which unites collections of Catalan decorative arts, graphics, ceramics, textiles and fashion that previously had been scattered throughout the city, was originally to be the building’s sole occupant. But in an effort to make use of its vast interior spaces — and lure people to what is still considered an off-the-beaten-path area — municipal leaders also moved the city’s major design organizations here and named the whole enterprise Design Hub Barcelona, or DHUB, hoping it truly would become a hotbed of design activity. Today, while design professionals show up for events in the building, museum-goers make their way through exhibits that sprawl on four floors, displaying everything from corsets to cruets. The museum, which charges a 5-euro ($5.35) general admission fee, has already drawn about 204,000 visitors. While its holdings may never achieve the popularity of the offerings at the flea market next door, the institution is already helping attract traffic — foot traffic — to the Glòries area. “In the future Glòries will be a place not for cars, but for people,” said Isabel Roig, executive director of Barcelona Design Center, a trade group and one of DHUB’s new tenants.

Question: What percentage of Land's End customers viewed the catalog before making a purchase?

However small, the recent resurgence in direct mail may be explained by a better understanding of the catalog’s power to drive sales, Mr. Cohen said. He pointed to Lands’ End as an early example. In 2000, that retailer reduced the number of catalogs it sent consumers. It experienced a $100 million drop in sales as a result, according to research by Kurt Salmon. Lands’ End later added a pop-up survey to its website and found that 75 percent of customers who were making purchases had first reviewed the catalog.

Question: Did it help him to use the term "anchor babies"?

1. He should never let himself say the words “anchor babies” ever again. He got in trouble for using that derogatory reference to the children of unauthorized immigrants in passing, in an interview, then dug himself a hole by defending his use of it. On Monday, he dug deeper. He tried to explain that he had been talking about “Asian people” who arrive on tourist visas through organized schemes to give birth to American babies on American soil.

Question: what was the problem specified in the 1960 article?

In 1960, The New York Times published an article with a headline that read, “Road From Sophocles to Spock Is Often a Bumpy One.” It reported on “the problem,” as the president of Barnard College put it, of the educated housewife: her anxiety, frustration and claustrophobia. Phyllis Levin, its author, likened her subjects to “a two-headed schizophrenic” who “used to talk about whether music was frozen architecture, now she talks over frozen food plans.” Noting that the right to vote had been won in 1920, Ms. Levin pointed out that “the modern woman” was only 40 years old, and lamented her descent from the ivory tower of academia to “push-button kitchens, supermarkets and finished basements.” Ms. Levin said recently that she had forgotten the furor her article and others raised (Betty Friedan noted her piece in “The Feminine Mystique”) but does remember being asked to do a book, a proposal she turned down, she said, “because I didn’t have a solution to the problem.”

Question: What food was meaty and tender?

This appetizer aside, seafood is Orama’s strength. The high-quality shrimp and lobster cocktail gained zip with a chunky sauce of diced tomatoes, olive oil and Fresno chiles. The grilled octopus, another appetizer, was meaty and tender and presented on a bed of fennel, red onions, capers and roasted tomatoes, all caramelized with a balsamic vinegar. The winning crab cake, gently held together with Dijon mustard and mayonnaise and coated in crunchy Panko breadcrumbs, was laden with jumbo lump meat pieces. The shrimp Santorini — jumbo shrimp in a smooth and garlicky tomato sauce, with pieces of feta — was hearty and comforting. But we fawned over the crispy sea bass the most. The entire fish is first grilled, then given a quick fry before being glazed with a spicy sweet-and-sour sauce and topped with a stir-fry of Napa cabbage, sliced bell peppers and button and enoki mushrooms. The tasty and crisp exterior revealed a moist fish inside.

Question: What kind of personality was Louise known for?

The sculptor Louise Nevelson took up a fair amount of space in New York in the 1960s and early ’70s. She was one of the most prominent artists of her generation, known for her imperious personality and a penchant for false eyelashes, heavy jewelry and chinchilla capes. More important were her forward-looking wood reliefs, painted entirely black or white, which linked the found-object aesthetic of assemblage to the clean lines and orderly sequences of Minimalism (and also presaged the all-black assemblage sculptures of Rashid Johnson). But by the time she died at age 88 in 1988, the art world had moved on.

Question: Who was the Ginger ring named for?

Success brought a private clientele and the Rubels opened stores on Fifth Avenue and in Palm Beach, Fla. But, by the mid-1950s, the boutiques had closed. The last vestiges of their fame are the vintage pieces that turn up for auction occasionally at Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Bonhams. Since finding her grand uncles’ archives, Ms. Mizrahi-Rubel has been working on designs and is now reviving the John Rubel brand with the collection La Bohème. Inspired by the shapes and bold colors of Rubel Frères style, the 18 pieces in the collection are made of diamonds, rubies, emeralds, blue and pink sapphires and blue-green tourmalines. “I call it dancing jewelry” she said. “It’s very colorful, very joyful with touches of Art Deco style.” John Rubel’s Modernist-style Rouleau bracelet of curved gold and blue and pink sapphires inspired Ms. Mizrahi-Rubel’s Ginger ring, named for Ginger Rogers, which the buyer can have pavéd with diamonds, emeralds, or sapphires. The Mozambique ruby and diamond ring, named La Divine, was derived from Rubel’s Undersea Flower clip of turquoises, rubies and diamonds.

Question: What foundation was Mrs. Clinton corresponding with during her tenure at the State Department?

Reports of Mrs. Clinton’s use of only a private email account while she was secretary of state, meanwhile, have cast a new light on efforts by outside groups to obtain access to her correspondence with the Clinton Foundation during her tenure at the State Department — about donations or anything else. That correspondence, if it exists, would most likely have taken place on Mrs. Clinton’s private email address, putting its accessibility — to journalists, scholars or political adversaries — in doubt. Already, Citizens United, a conservative advocacy group, has made 16 appeals under the Freedom of Information Act for State Department correspondence mostly related to Mrs. Clinton and foundation donors.
