Question: The district attorney from which county is arguing for the death penalty?

As Judge Carlos Samour Jr. read the 165 counts against Mr. Holmes, the defendant stood silently between his lawyers, staring straight ahead, with his hands tucked into the pockets of a pair of khaki-colored pants. He did not glance at his parents sitting two rows behind. When the hourlong recitation of the verdicts was done, he sat down and lightly swiveled in his chair. Coming within days of the Aurora shooting’s third anniversary, the guilty verdict ends one phase of a grueling legal saga, but another one is set to begin. As the district attorney in suburban Arapahoe County argues for the death penalty, the jury will begin weighing the toll and nature of Mr. Holmes’s actions to decide whether to send him to prison for life or to Colorado’s death row. The sentencing phase is expected to take weeks. It could feature more wrenching statements from survivors and families of the victims, as well as testimony from defense witnesses discussing the role that mental illness played in propelling Mr. Holmes toward the movie theater that night.

Question: Who was waiting for Mr. Norris in the parking lot?

Walking toward his family in the parking lot, Mr. Norris wore heavy gray sweatpants and heavier gray whiskers, some pounds having migrated from his barrel chest to his belly, but still with the muscular shoulders of his distant youth. (His brother-in-law remarked, “Man, he looks good.”) Mr. Norris’s younger son, Raymond, who could not travel to the reunion from New Mexico, received Mr. Norris’s first phone call and a promise: “It’ll be my last game of basketball — I’m going to show you what Daddy’s got left and then retire.”

Question: Who said the total number of fatalities is not available?

The total number of fatalities nationwide this year is not available, health officials said. One person in Louisiana died Wednesday and two others were in intensive care, said Mark Ryan, the director of the Louisiana Poison Center. “We had one hospital in the Baton Rouge area that saw over 110 cases in February. That’s a huge spike,” Dr. Ryan said. “There’s a large amount of use going on. When one of these new ingredients — something that’s more potent and gives a bigger high — is released and gets into distribution, it can cause these more extreme effects.”

Question: Why is water important to the iron mines?

Just over 50 miles north, in the city of Sirjan, decisions long postponed have begun to impose themselves on local officials, forcing them to make difficult choices in allocating scarce water supplies. Wedged between two newly built neighborhoods of five-story apartment buildings, a convoy of water trucks waited in line to fill their 5,000-gallon tanks. Under a deal with the local water management company, up to 400 of these trucks a day draw water from the city’s main well and head to the Golgohar iron mine, the largest such mine in the Middle East. It employs over 7,000 people, many of them from Sirjan, and a water shortage has compounded an already difficult situation brought on by collapsing iron ore prices. “It is internationally unprecedented to carry water with tankers, but we have no other way,” Naser Taghizadeh, chief executive of the Golgohar Iron Ore Company, told the local Negarestan news outlet. “If water is not taken to the complex, projects are stopped, and many people will lose their jobs.”

Question: Where did Mr. Fernandez get his start as a barber?

“They all come to the salon before going out,” Mr. Fernandéz said of his nearly 20 clients a night. His own balding hair closely cropped, Mr. Fernandéz said he started in a state-run barbershop but had creative differences with his partners. “Back then there was no styling and they wouldn’t even wash hair,” he remembered. “I wanted to be different.” His dream is to start a chain and help bring Cuban men’s style back to the glory days. “It’s like the ’50s in Havana,” Pavel Premdes, 26, said as he had his hair touched upward in a “Grease”-like wave. “Dorian is bringing it back.” As another client showed off a cellphone picture of his girlfriend in librarian glasses straddling a pool table, an assistant to Mr. Fernandéz stood under an elevated glass chamber that looks like the cockpit of a helicopter that had crashed into the salon. It is used for hair straightening.

Question: What action by Mr. Meyers did the police say led to the officer firing his hand gun?

Prosecutors in St. Louis will not charge the police officer who fatally shot VonDerrit D. Myers Jr. in October, a shooting that renewed tensions with law enforcement weeks after Michael Brown was killed by an officer in nearby Ferguson. In a report released Monday, Jennifer M. Joyce, the circuit attorney for St. Louis, found that Mr. Myers “produced a gun” during the encounter with the officer, Jason Flanery, who was working an off-duty security detail for a private company. Police had said Mr. Myers, 18, who was black, shot a stolen handgun before Officer Flanery, who is white, returned fire. Prosecutors said in their report that witnesses had seen gunfire coming from both directions and from two guns and that a semiautomatic pistol had been recovered next to Mr. Myers’s body. Mr. Myers’s family disputed the police account and insisted that he had been unarmed. Protesters marched for several nights after the shooting, and some drew parallels between Mr. Myers’s death and that of Mr. Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old shot by a white Ferguson officer in August. In a statement, Ms. Joyce expressed condolences to the Myers family and called his death “a tragic situation for our entire community.”

Question: Where do the educated people leave Puerto Rico for?

Q. How did Puerto Rico get here? A. For years, the commonwealth borrowed too much money, trying to paper over declining government revenue and prevent deep cuts in services and layoffs of public workers. Puerto Rico easily found lenders willing to extend the government more debt. The bonds made for hot investments across the mainland United States because the interest is often “triple tax exempt,” meaning the holder does not pay state, federal or city income taxes. But all that debt, now totaling $72 billion, couldn’t solve the structural problems in Puerto Rico’s economy: high labor costs and shipping costs, an exodus of educated people to the mainland United States and the expiration of a special federal tax credit meant to attract big corporations to the island and keep them there.

Question: What infrastructure was the United States focused on?

The development of United States infrastructure, meanwhile, was centered on road transport. “In a way, it is a kind of historical accident,” Mr. Perkins said. “If you have the lines there already from an earlier period, you can just carry on supporting and improving them. “But putting that kind of rail access in retroactively is very expensive.” Their more consistent upkeep of rail systems has allowed European and Asian countries to devote a growing share of spending to state-of-the-art high-speed trains that run on dedicated rail lines fitted with sophisticated sensors and signal technology.

Question: What player remained on the bench?

Afterward, Manager Terry Collins said Cuddyer had been available, but he had waited too long, and the right situation had never arisen, so Cuddyer remained on the bench. The Mets’ lone hit with runners in scoring position Monday came, of course, from their pitcher, Harvey. With the bases loaded in the fourth, he flipped a single into right field, scoring two runs. He had hit a two-run homer in his previous start, in a two-run Mets win. “Just try to put the ball in play,” Harvey said. The Mets’ pitchers have set an example for the whole team, compiling 17 R.B.I., the most of any pitching staff in baseball. Harvey retired the final 14 batters he faced. Some of the outs were well hit, but he pitched as if he wanted to compensate for those five early runs. Ending with a flourish, he struck out Harper looking at a stinging 98-mile-per-hour fastball, on his 99th and final pitch.

Question: Where was Troy taken to visit?

Troy, Mich. To the Editor: While it is dismaying to imagine an elderly Atticus Finch as a racist, I do not find it to be at all implausible. It is one thing to defend an individual African-American, and another thing entirely to envision the demise of what was essentially a race-based caste system in the South. As a (white) child growing up in Houston in the 1960s, I was taken to visit relatives in the rural Mississippi Delta, where I often heard adults whom I respected express opinions similar to those reported in the book. Like the character Scout in “Watchman,” I found these views unfamiliar and repugnant. Yet I can easily imagine some of those people, like the fictional Atticus, defending Tom Robinson in the 1930s and 20 years later vehemently rejecting desegregation.

Question: Which airport experienced a wolverine escaping from it's cage?

If there were a manual for transporting wolverines, Rule No. 1 would probably go something like this: Make sure the wolverine cannot get out of the cage. At Newark Liberty International Airport on Tuesday, it became clear that this precaution had not been taken. A 40-pound male wolverine named Kasper was being shipped from a zoo in Norway to a conservation park in Alaska. At around 3:30 p.m., he arrived in Newark to change planes and go through United States Customs. It was there that the animal’s handler, Sarah Howard, noticed there was a hole in Kasper’s cage. “His head was sticking out,” said Ms. Howard, a curator for the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, the wolverine’s intended new home. She had flown to Newark to meet him. The cage was made of metal, said Joseph Pentangelo, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the airport. “It’s believed he chewed a hole in it.”

Question: What beers seemed to be imitations of American beers?

My two days in Leeds included a number of modern taverns and extremely up-to-date craft brews, but I wanted to find out more about Yorkshire’s most traditional breweries, and what it was that made the half-pints of old-style bitter and mild so delicious. Magic Rock’s IPAs were good, but I could hardly tell one from the other, and all of them seemed to be imitations of American beers, while the bitters and milds felt as much a part of the region as the moors and the old textile mills. When I had emailed Timothy Taylor to request a tour, the response came back that they do not offer tours, instead suggesting that I visit the Black Sheep brewery in the remote North Yorkshire village of Masham. And so, after 42 minutes on a high-speed train to the town of Thirsk and a 15-minute taxi ride across beautiful North Yorkshire farmland, I arrived at the Black Sheep brewery just as a tour was beginning. The brewery, I learned, had opened in 1992, when one of the Theakstons had split from the local Theakston brewery, starting a second major beer producer in a town of just over a thousand inhabitants.

And so, after 42 minutes on a high-speed train to the town of Thirsk and a 15-minute taxi ride across beautiful North Yorkshire farmland, I arrived at the Black Sheep brewery just as a tour was beginning. The brewery, I learned, had opened in 1992, when one of the Theakstons had split from the local Theakston brewery, starting a second major beer producer in a town of just over a thousand inhabitants.


Question: Was Sidney Blumenthal's testimony public?

WASHINGTON —  Hillary Rodham Clinton’s longtime adviser Sidney Blumenthal testified before a congressional committee on Tuesday that dozens of memos he sent her when she was secretary of state were written by a longtime high-ranking C.I.A. official.

Question: What regions were the original proposals aimed at?

The Gaming Facility Location Board reviewed 16 proposals for casino resorts in three regions north and west of New York City and recommended licenses for three projects on Dec. 17, but rebuffed two from the Southern Tier that it said were not viable. Governor Cuomo initially supported the decision, saying that a casino was not likely to spur economic development in the relatively sparsely populated area near Binghamton. But after hearing criticism from elected officials and local residents, Mr. Cuomo asked the board to consider a new round of bidding for a casino license specifically for the Southern Tier. At a board meeting Tuesday, Kevin Law, the chairman, said that he saw “no harm” in soliciting new proposals solely for the Southern Tier, as the governor suggested.

Question: What was Mark Rylance doing while the BBC waited for him to act in their show?

Mr. Rylance, who has won three Tony Awards, has done relatively little film or television work and isn’t well-known to a broader audience. (That might change after “Wolf Hall” and two current film projects with Steven Spielberg — “The BFG” and “Bridge of Spies.”) But Mr. Callender and his fellow producers weren’t deterred. “Most actors can do one or two things at the same time; great actors can do several things at the same time; Mark Rylance can do hundreds of things at the same time,” he said. “He has one of those faces that can tell a thousand stories.” So sure was Mr. Callender that Mr. Rylance was the right choice that he persuaded the BBC to wait a year while the actor performed in repertory productions of “Twelfth Night” and “Richard III” that played in the West End and on Broadway.

Question: What made Mr. Silver a valuable member of the Assembly?

Another longtime member of the Assembly said a vindicated Mr. Silver — who remained active in the Assembly after his arrest and indictment — would be a force in the chamber because of his knowledge of the intricacies of state government. “No one knew more about the ins and outs than Shelly — no one’s even close,” the member said. “I have no doubt if he comes back, he will be very outspoken.” Others predicted a less visible role, and a potential retirement in 2016 when Mr. Silver is up for re-election.

Question: When did Times talk to Dawkins?

Question: In what state was the only law that was affected located?

Monday’s development, which set no precedent, did not affect the validity of any law aside from North Carolina’s. The health care providers who challenged the North Carolina law urged the justices to turn down the state’s appeal. “The state requires physicians to recite the state’s message even when the patient physically avoids seeing or hearing it,” their brief said. “That is farce, not informed consent, and it demonstrates beyond any doubt that the requirement is an impermissible attempt to use physicians to spread the state’s ideological message.” Abortion rights groups welcomed the Supreme Court’s action. “This misguided law would have inserted politics and bad medicine into every exam room in North Carolina,” Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in a statement.

Question: How many men were included in the six randomized trials?

Before 1983, six randomized controlled trials involving 2,467 men were conducted. None were explicit studies of the recommended diet (and none involved women), but all explored the relationship between dietary fat, cholesterol and mortality. Five of them were secondary prevention trials — meaning that they involved only men with known problems already. Only one included healthy participants, who would be at lower risk, and therefore would be likely to have less benefit from dietary changes. That’s a lot of participants. Moreover, many of them were at high risk. And in all of them, there was no significant difference among them in the rate of death from coronary heart disease. There were also no differences in mortality from all causes, which is the metric that matters.

Question: Whos manager used four right-handed relievers?

Watson, of the Pittsburgh Pirates, retired Abreu on a fly ball to left. But the move made little sense in baseball terms, if the goal of the All-Star Game is really to win and secure home-field advantage in the World Series for the victorious league. Matheny, the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, had already used four right-handed relievers and went against the percentages to a dangerous hitter. He got away with it, but the move illustrated the real priorities for those who manage and play in the All-Star Game. They want as many players as possible to participate, and they want to have fun.

Question: Who was denied services under Jim Crow?

I think they should be able to decline service for various reasons, religious scruples included. A liberal printer shouldn’t be forced to print tracts for a right-wing cause. A Jewish deli shouldn’t be required to cater events for the Nation of Islam. But those are issues of belief, not identity. Denying service to gays is like denying service to blacks under Jim Crow.

Question: What year is the oldest photo in the book?

Don Mattingly is the author of one of baseball’s most preposterous statistical anomalies. In 1987, he set the major league record (it has since been tied) for most grand slams in a season — six — and those were the only ones he ever hit. Two of them came during a streak in mid-July when he matched the record for most consecutive games with a home run — eight — actually hitting 10 in eight games. The last one, in Texas against the Rangers, just barely sailed over the wall in left-center field, not exactly the left-handed Mattingly’s power alley. “Holy cow, he did it!” Phil Rizzuto screamed, announcing the feat on TV. “Holy cow, Mattingly is unbelievable.”

Question: What sentence was given to the guilty peacekeeper?

Officials point to the case of Pakistani peacekeepers accused of raping a boy in Haiti a few years ago as a model of accountability. Pakistan sent military judges to conduct a trial in Haiti. One peacekeeper was convicted, and then, to the dismay of many Haitians, whisked back to Pakistan to serve a one-year jail sentence. “People can always say punishment was too light or whatever, but the system worked as it should,” Anthony Banbury, the United Nations assistant secretary general for field support, said of the case.

Answer: a one-year jail sentence

Question: For whom Mr. Lisberg made the declaration?

“The irony, of course, is that the newspaper which first raised the alarm about the breast augmentation ads runs far more explicit advertisements in their own pages,” said Mr. Lisberg, a former City Hall bureau chief for The News. “So trying to keep a family-friendly public environment in New York City can be challenging.” Some think the authority may be too cautious. Jason Dorsey, the chief strategy officer at the Center for Generational Kinetics, which studies marketing to young people, said the message was not harmful.

Question: What is Martin Baron's current position?

The future is in flux. What is certain is that citizens value investigative work. “People don’t know of corruption unless it’s disclosed to them,” said Martin Baron, the Globe’s editor during the church investigation, now editor of The Washington Post. When they see the media bringing wrongdoing to light, he said, they often express appreciation: “If it weren’t for you, nobody would do this work.” That enduring appetite for investigative journalism may hold the key. And so, for the good of the democracy (and their own survival) news organizations, whether start-up or legacy, must make it a high priority to keep digging — with the public’s interest at heart.

Question: When was Frank O'Hara's "Three Voices" written?

Nate Wooley’s new work “For Kenneth Gaburo” is a setting of a sentence by Mr. Gaburo (1926-93), a searching composer, conductor, pianist and language theorist. But its presentation of the words is extreme, to say the least. Abstractions of text in music aren’t new. Listening to the premiere of “For Kenneth Gaburo” on Monday evening at the Wild Project in the East Village, I thought of Morton Feldman’s glacial “Three Voices” (1982), in which long passages repeat and deconstruct, to the point of wordlessness, the opening of Frank O’Hara’s poem “wind”: “Who’d have thought/that snow falls.”

Question: How many dangerous crossings are in Long Island?

The metric is not a perfect measurement of danger. (The agency cautions that it does not take into account other factors, like local topography and traffic congestion.) But the 10 crossings, four in New Jersey and six on Long Island, examined by The Times are easily among the most hazardous in the country. Out of almost 130,000 public crossings in the nation, only 112 others have accident-prediction values as high as these 10. The Midland Avenue crossing currently has the eighth highest likelihood of a crash in the country.

Question: is kemba walker from the bronx?

“You would know just by his toughness and his moxie,” said Kemba Walker, a star point guard for the Charlotte Hornets who was born in the Bronx, gained national prominence at Rice High School in Harlem and led the University of Connecticut to an N.C.A.A. title in 2011. Brooklyn-born Chris Mullin, who played his high school ball in the city and was the N.C.A.A.’s player of the year for St. John’s in Queens in 1985 before becoming an N.B.A. All-Star, said he often watches college games and finds himself thinking a player is likely to be from his old stamping grounds based on the way he carries himself on the court.

Question: Who is Carolina's top cornerback?

Much of the buildup to the game against the Panthers centered on how Beckham, who has scored 25 touchdowns in 26 career N.F.L. games, would fare against Norman, Carolina’s top cornerback, who earlier this year limited the production of the top receiver on several other teams. The Beckham-Norman matchup quickly turned into a ferocious confrontation, with the two players clashing in hand-to-hand combat as Beckham unsuccessfully tried to get open for passes from Giants quarterback Eli Manning. Beckham and Norman exchanged forearms, shoves and openhanded punches. At one point, Norman picked up Beckham and threw him to the turf. No penalties were called. By early in the second quarter, with Beckham still without a catch, the battle grew more hostile.

Question: What is the name of the classicist?

The dancing is equally layered. When the six fairy godmothers arrive, there are passages in which they, their eight attendants and four of their cavaliers are all dancing at once, like three orchestral groups in harmony. (Two of the cavaliers don’t dance, so we also see how Petipa the classicist played number games with these choreographic groups of eight, six, four and two.) In Act I, when Princess Aurora’s maids of honor are dancing center stage, the eight violin pages, on the sides of the stage, are doing gargouillades — twinkling sideways jumps in which each foot writes a circle in the air.

Question: What is the third force at work that the economists referenced to?

The third force at work is what economists call price discrimination. Businesses of all sorts have an incentive to charge different prices to different consumers based on their willingness and ability to pay. Movie theaters, for example, charge children less than adults for a ticket. Colleges have increasingly followed this practice by raising published prices and offering more financial aid based on a family’s resources. I often joke that Harvard should complete the process by setting tuition at $1 billion a year. But that sticker price applies only to the children of Bill Gates. Everyone else gets a special price, just for you.

Question: Which justices joined Ms. Kagan's dissenting opinion?

Question: In what month did Cardinal Ortega anger members of the opposition?

In June, Cardinal Ortega incensed members of the opposition when he suggested in a radio interview that he had no knowledge of political prisoners in Cuba. A month later, he became the focus of an awkward standoff after he refused to accept a list of political prisoners presented to him by two dissidents during a reception at the United States Interests Section (the building soon reopened this summer as the American embassy when diplomatic relations with Cuba were restored). The dissidents loudly began to berate the cardinal, who threatened to call security. “The line that you have to walk to have a voice in calling out injustices that the government commits, and on the other side mediating and looking for space for dialogue, that line is a tightrope, very difficult to walk,” said Carlos Saladrigas, a Cuban businessman who grew up in Miami and has close ties to the church.

Question: In the Cabaret Cinema series, the Rubin Museum of Art will host public talks about what subject?

Consequences (through Friday) Truth be told, this overarching theme for the Rubin Museum of Art’s Cabaret Cinema series is fairly accommodating. With the occasional exception of the Coen brothers at their most fatalistic, what other filmmaker would claim that his or her onscreen actions have no reactions?
