Question: Do they need to stay in dropbox?

If you want to sling between computers files that you did not purchase in iTunes — like audio tracks ripped from your own CDs — using your Dropbox folder as a transfer station can work. However, to avoid seeing exclamation marks or other errors because of original files gone missing from the first iTunes library, drag copies of the tracks out of the iTunes window to the desktop Dropbox folder, or copy over duplicates from your iTunes Media folder to Dropbox. Once you get to your second computer and open your synced Dropbox folder there, import the tracks into that system’s iTunes’s library. You can delete them out of your Dropbox folder at that point, but if you leave them there, you can play and view many types of unrestricted files on a smartphone or tablet by opening and streaming them through the Dropbox mobile app.

Question: Who approved a warrant?

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

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.

Question: What personal tragedy was described by the song with the melody that would have suited the Carter family?

Although “Electric Ursa” was released just last September, Ms. Shelley devoted much of her set to new songs that were no less resonant and, perhaps, a little more concrete. One, with a melody that would have suited the Carter Family, captured the moment in a breakup when the thought of freedom balances a sense of loss. In that song, and throughout the set, she was open yet composed, never pushing or overplaying the music; she let the songs speak for themselves. With its quiet purity, the music held the club audience rapt.

Question: What will be in their hands?

This leads him to the central matter he wishes to raise with young people. “Hence, my first request is: Study and research the incentives behind this widespread tarnishing of the image of Islam.” Read the Quran yourself, he advises. “Have you studied the teachings of the Prophet of Islam and his humane, ethical doctrines? Have you ever received the message of Islam from any sources other than the media?” “Try and find answers yourself,” he writes. “The future of your nations and countries will be in your hands; and also I find that the sense of quest for truth is more vigorous and attentive in your hearts.”

Question: What did the couple do when the  train passed through?

The less expensive safety measures — automatic gates, lights, bells and signs — are largely in place in the New York region. A challenge is creating crossings that can overcome the lesser impulses of human nature in a part of the country where many people do not see patience as a virtue. In Brentwood, N.Y., on Monday, a couple on foot watched as the safety gate at the Washington Avenue crossing, one of the most dangerous in the region, lowered in front of them, its bells sounding and lights flashing. After one Long Island Rail Road train passed through, heading east, the man and woman ducked underneath the crossing gate. The man glanced toward the train receding in the distance and suddenly jumped back. “There’s another train coming!” he yelled.

Question: How many women made it through ranger school?

5. New York officials said they had contained the city’s worst outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease, which sickened 101 people and killed 10. But city and state officials sometimes tripped over each other to claim credit for responding. 6. Two Army women have made it through most of the arduous course of the elite Ranger School and stand a strong chance of being the first females to graduate. But if so, they will still be barred from the combat roles their male counterparts qualify for. 7. It’s been a year since the unarmed black youth Michael Brown was fatally shot by a white police officer, at the spot marked by this repaved patch of street. A Times analysis finds that, despite the intervening intense debates and promises of change, Ferguson, Mo., remains one of the most segregated places in the country.

Question: Who did Mr. Obama say hard-liners in Iran who chant "Death to America" were making common cause with?

Mr. Obama criticized Republicans who are pressing forward with legislation to block the accord, which is on track for a vote in September. Opposition to the agreement, he said, stems from “knee-jerk partisanship that has become all too familiar, rhetoric that renders every decision made to be a disaster, a surrender.” He said hard-liners in Iran who chant “Death to America” were “making common cause with the Republican caucus.” Lawmakers who oppose the deal said they were not persuaded, and some said they resented the president’s tone. Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the majority leader, said the speech had done a disservice to lawmakers in both parties who “have serious and heartfelt concerns.” “These Democrats and Republicans deserved serious answers today, not some outrageous attempt to equate their search for answers with supporting chants of ‘Death to America,’ ” Mr. McConnell said, adding that Democrats who had declared their opposition would be “especially insulted” by the president’s remarks. “This goes way over the line of civil discourse,” he said. In his speech, the president invoked the legacy of John F. Kennedy, who in 1963 appeared on the same campus to push for a nuclear test ban treaty with the Soviet Union. But in making his case, Mr. Obama was also returning to a theme that helped him rise to power. As a first-term senator, Mr. Obama gained political prominence in part because of his strong opposition to the war in Iraq. It helped him win the 2008 Democratic nomination — defeating Hillary Rodham Clinton, who backed the invasion and later became his secretary of state — and the presidency. Now, as a second-term president working to defend an ambitious diplomatic nonproliferation accord with Iran and protect his legacy, Mr. Obama is conjuring the antiwar fervor that animates his party’s liberal base.

Question: What was the name of the man who said 'all lives matter'?

“I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure all lives matter,” the prosecutor said. In the aftermath of the grand jury decision, critics said that Mr. McCulloch and his assistants had presented evidence in ways that favored the police officer, Darren Wilson, and cast doubt on the victim, Michael Brown. On Friday, Mr. McCulloch devoted much of his talk to rebutting such criticism, which included that he gave incorrect instructions to the grand jury and that his assistants were not tough enough in their questioning of witnesses who supported Officer Wilson’s version of events.

Question: how old was Ms English ?

“So on the one hand,” said Ms. English, 65, “you felt welcomed into a family. The flip side was you couldn’t be invisible.

Question: What happened to Ms. Olson's money by the time she died?

Question: What percentage of voters voted for Mr. Shumlin?

But on Thursday, members of the Vermont House and Senate elected the state’s governor — by secret ballot. They chose Peter Shumlin, a Democrat, giving him his third two-year term. That’s right: 179 state legislators had the final say, not the 193,603 voters who cast ballots for governor in the Nov. 4 election. “Thank you all for making it possible for me to be able to give this speech today,” Mr. Shumlin told legislators a few hours later as he delivered his inaugural address in the House chamber. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” He had reason to be grateful. In November, Mr. Shumlin won only 46.4 percent of the vote, not the 50 percent required by the Vermont Constitution to claim victory outright. He was nearly toppled by Scott Milne, a little-known Republican businessman, who won 45.1 percent.

Question: How do you enjoy your job?

My best friend and I are going through a rough patch, but I’m pretty sure she’s not even aware of it. We moved to New York after college 10 years ago and still live together. Work is going well for us; we both date. But she has been getting more and more critical of friends, potential boyfriends and co-workers every day. I hate to use the word “toxic,” but that’s what it feels like. She never stops judging. Should I extricate myself or what?

Question: Who is Buffalo's coach?

Buffalo has also received solid production from guard Richie Incognito and wide receiver Percy Harvin. Those two talented players had seen their public image tarnished over the last few seasons, but they appear to have found a home with Coach Rex Ryan and are playing a big part in the team’s success. The Giants may have the more impressive trophy case, but for right now the Bills are New York’s best (and, technically, only) team. PICK: BILLS Packers (3-0) at 49ers (1-2) 4.25 p.m. Line: Packers by 9 ½ Colin Kaepernick has always enjoyed playing the Packers. He may have grown up rooting for the team, but he has shown it no mercy, beating it once in the regular season and twice in the playoffs. He has done it with his arm (412 passing yards and three touchdowns in the 2013 season opener) and with his legs (a record 181 yards rushing in a 2012 playoff win).

Question: What decorations were Rep. Ryan and his children hanging?

WASHINGTON — Last week, as members of Congress did the things they do during recess — drink merlot at fund-raisers, zip to fact-finding missions abroad, meet with local chambers of commerce — Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin and two of his three children strung Halloween decorations across their Janesville lawn. In his lengthy enumeration of conditions for taking on the role of House speaker, Mr. Ryan made it clear to his Republican colleagues Tuesday night that one was sacrosanct: “I cannot and will not give up my family time.”

Question: What type of arrests is it customary for the Police Department to make?

Mr. Disisto has sued the Police Department and the city in federal court in Manhattan, charging he was the victim of a false arrest and malicious prosecution. “The officers attacked him and this is borne out entirely by the video evidence from the bar,” said David B. Rankin, a lawyer representing Mr. Disisto. “But for this video, Mr. Disisto likely would have been prosecuted.” The lawsuit also accuses the Police Department of having a “custom and practice” of making retaliatory arrests against people who photograph or videotape police activity. In legal papers, the city has denied that the Police Department has a policy or practice of retaliation for videotaping, said Nick Paolucci, a spokesman for the city’s Law Department.

Question: What, specifically, did Tian have linked to him?

Law enforcement officials hope that information gathered from Mr. Tian will provide a window into the drug’s hazy international underworld, where manufacturers readily tweak chemicals used to make spice and other so-called designer drugs, staying one step ahead of federal regulators scrambling to identify and outlaw them. “There’s an illusion of legality,” said Scott Albrecht, a special agent in the D.E.A.’s Milwaukee district office, who supervised the investigation of Mr. Tian after the agents linked him to packages shipped to an address here. “We make one thing illegal, and they just move on to the next one.”

Question: There is disagreement about what fact about Lillian Ross?

As talented as Gibbs was, his work was perhaps not destined to last. He did not, like Lillian Ross, have the freedom regularly to choose his subject matter. He was temperamentally a naysayer. By contrast, Ross, now in her 90s (there is some disagreement about her age), still maintains a sunny disposition and an interest in the youthful and the new. It is no disrespect to Gibbs to speculate that curiosity, a studied neutrality tinged with affection and facts carefully culled so as to capture the world in a moment of time may remain relevant longer than barbed, if canny and delightful, attitude.

Question: For which university does Robert Stern work?

But Robert Stern, one of the scientists at the Boston University center, told me that he expected a test to be developed within a decade that will be able to diagnose C.T.E. in living people. As for symptoms, the real problem is that plenty of people suffer from lost impulse control and depression without having C.T.E. Even so, the primary symptoms the settlement will reward financially are those that suggest cognitive impairment, rather than the behavioral and mood symptoms of C.T.E. “At a minimum,” said Stern, “former players whose behavior changes in ways that suggest C.T.E. should have full evaluations paid for by the settlement. And treatment would be nice, too.” It’s hard not to view the settlement as the cynical effort by the N.F.L. to contain its potential C.T.E. liability; indeed, once the settlement is final, it will be nearly impossible for players — past, present and future — to be compensated if they are found to have the disease. Even the plaintiffs’ expert has said that only 17 percent of the roughly 21,000 former players who have become part of the class will ever see any money. Oh, and did I mention that the N.F.L. has agreed to pay the plaintiffs’ lawyers over $112 million? It’s not the nation’s dominant sports league for nothing.

Question: What city produced the most beautiful porcelain objects?

Invented in China, about 1,000 years ago, porcelain is a ceramic made from a varying mixture of materials, the most indispensable of which is a whitish clay, kaolin. The city of Jingdezhen produced the most beautiful of these objects: bowls, jars, vases and other items created in vast quantities for the imperial court. Porcelain was so abundant in China that when Marco Polo made the first mention of the material in Western literature, it was to marvel that the pieces he encountered in China were “so plentiful and cheap that for a Venetian groat you might buy three bowls of such beauty that nothing lovelier could be imagined.” Not so in Europe, where, for 400 years after they laid eyes on it, no one knew how to make the stuff. Aristocrats and monarchs regarded imported “china” as treasure. It was nicknamed “white gold.” Augustus II, elector of Saxony, an omnivorous collector of both mistresses and china, wrote, “The same is true for oranges as for porcelain, that once one has the sickness of one or the other, one can never get enough of the things and wishes to have more and more.” In the early 18th century, under his orders, an odd couple of proto-scientists — an urbane mathematician and a young, eccentric alchemist — finally figured out how to make porcelain in Dresden. A few years later, William Cookworthy, a mild-mannered Quaker apothecary living in Devon, noticed that the clay in a nearby Cornish hill resembled the kaolin described in newly published letters from China. He became the first person to make true porcelain in England. This is the rough origin story Edmund de Waal sets out to tell in “The White Road: Journey Into an Obsession.” He would appear to be the ideal candidate for the job: A celebrated ceramist who makes austere white porcelain vessels, he is also the author of a surprise best seller: “The Hare With Amber Eyes,” published in 2010. That book followed the fate of a collection of netsuke (small Japanese carvings) acquired by his fabulously wealthy Jewish family during the belle epoque, lost when they fled Austria following the Anschluss and then recovered again when a former servant revealed that she had stealthily secreted the little objects in her mattress. What makes “The Hare With Amber Eyes” so entrancing is not the netsuke, however charming they may be, but the family, beginning with the suave cousin of his great-grandfather, one of the models for Proust’s Charles Swann and an early enthusiast and collector of Japanese art and a patron of the Impressionists. De Waal has a wicked gift for dissecting the tricky relations between artists and the rich people whose whims make it possible for them to both work and eat. He applies it to delicious effect in the strongest section of “The White Road,” which describes the travails of Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus — student of Spinoza, friend of Newton and Leibniz — as he rattled around Europe seeking an aristocrat to fund his research: “If you are interested in optics or mineralogy or funding a dictionary of philosophy, you are lucky to get two minutes of the attention of a margrave who lives for killing stags or boar in inventive ways.”

Question: Is there any evidence that an asteroid or any other celestial object will impact Earth on those dates?

That convergence hasn’t happened for 32 years. This last eclipse of the year has led some, er, imaginative observers to predict that a giant asteroid will hit Earth within the next six days — a notion that NASA has firmly rebuffed. “There is no scientific basis — not one shred of evidence — that an asteroid or any other celestial object will impact Earth on those dates,” said Dr. Paul Chodas, manager of NASA’s Near-Earth Object office in Pasadena, Calif.

Question: Who lost the game?

KE’SHAWN VAUGHN AND JOSH FERGUSON Illinois entered its game at Purdue ranked last in the Big Ten in rushing, averaging 114.6 yards a game and only 67.2 yards during its first four conference games. But the Illini solved that problem for at least one week, getting 16 carries for 180 rushing yards and two touchdowns from Vaughn, a freshman; 12 carries for 133 yards from Ferguson, a senior in his first game back from injury; and a total of 382 yards on the ground in a dominating 48-14 victory over the Boilermakers.

Question: What political party does Elmendorf have a past connection to?

Let’s start with some background. For the last six years, Douglas Elmendorf has been the director of the C.B.O. By my judgment, he has done a remarkable job of shepherding the institution through times that have been both economically and politically difficult. (Full disclosure: Mr. Elmendorf is a friend and former student of mine, so I am not entirely objective. But many prominent policy wonks endorsed his reappointment.) Nonetheless, the new Republican leadership in Congress decided to appoint someone new to head the C.B.O. That decision is entirely understandable. Mr. Elmendorf has a long affiliation with Democrats, and the Republicans want someone who shares more of their perspective. As President Obama once said, elections have consequences. That includes the Republican sweep of 2014. So, on Friday, congressional leaders appointed Mr. Hall, a veteran of the Bush administration, to be the new head of the budget office.

Question: How many chain stores were in the Bronx in 2015?

The Bronx led the city’s five boroughs in the largest percentage of new chain stores from 2014 to 2015, up to 944 from 914. Nur Moznu, a manager who has worked for Zaro’s for nine years, said many customers had come in to say they would miss the fresh bread and bagels.

Question: What did the couples phones have in common musically?

They flirted awkwardly at a conference in Amman, Jordan, where they met in 2011. Then, in flurries of text messages over a few weeks, they discovered they both were interested in photography and astronomy and craved the Saudi rice dish kabsa. Their mobile phones both had the Backstreet Boys song with the lyrics: “I don’t care who you are/Where you’re from/Or what you did/As long as you love me.” They got engaged, exchanging rings and completing a contract to marry in an Islamic court. But theirs is a love unfulfilled. Dalia Shurrab, 32, lives here in the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis, and Rashed Sameer Faddah, 35, in the West Bank city of Nablus. Romance is not among the humanitarian reasons for which Israel allows Palestinians to travel from here to there. Now, the couple have started a Facebook campaign calling on President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority to “Deliver the Bride to the Groom.” “I have the love of my life — he’s really warm and kind, he always tries to make me happy, he’s proud of me,” Ms. Shurrab said, blushing and giggling as she shared their story. “When we cannot achieve what we are dreaming of, it dies slowly inside of us.”

Question: What country economy had bottomed out?

“There is no doubt that he is a very bright and talented man,” the Russian leader said. “It is not our business to assess his merits; that is up to the U.S. voters. But he is an absolute leader of the presidential race.” In Russian, the word for “bright” has several meanings, including outstanding, brilliant and even gaudy. Beneath the pyrotechnics, Mr. Putin seemed most concerned with driving home the point to his domestic audience that Russia’s battered economy had bottomed out, an indication that Russia’s recession had his full attention. Peppered with dozens of questions, Mr. Putin lingered, as he did at last year’s session, on those that allowed him to reassure Russians that their living standards were not imperiled.

Question: what is Ohio States ranking?

Texas Southern’s Madarious Gibbs led the Tigers with 15 points. But once behind minutes after tip-off, the Tigers never mustered a meaningful run to reverse Arizona’s momentum. “They just overwhelmed us with length, size, athleticism in the first half,” Texas Southern Coach Mike Davis said. Arizona, the Pacific-12 Conference regular-season and tournament champion, will meet No. 10 Ohio State on Saturday for a slot in the round of 16. Last year, Arizona was a No. 1 seed and lost in overtime to Wisconsin in the round of 8. But that team was without the 6-foot-9 forward Brandon Ashley, whose midseason foot injury kept him out of the postseason. Ashley, fully healthy, was the outstanding player in Arizona’s romp through the Pacific-12 tournament last week. Against Texas Southern (22-13), he scored 14 points and grabbed 4 rebounds.

Question: What helps some business stay competitive that are available because of the refugees?

Mr. Firat at the foreign ministry said that the Syrian refugees had caused resentment in some places, but also made cheap labor available that might help some businesses stay competitive. Eskisehir’s economic difficulties, and Turkey’s, go beyond coping with migrants or an interruption in tourism. Many emerging markets are facing difficulties with the slowdown in global trade, Turkey among them. Turkey has long depended on exporting manufactured goods to Europe and the Middle East, two regions where demand is weak right now. That is partly because of geopolitics and partly because Chinese industries with overcapacity at home have been exporting at low prices to Turkey’s longtime markets in the Middle East, Europe and Africa.

Question: In what was every incidental character identified?

In “Letters to Véra” every incidental character — including those whom even the memorious Nabokov might not have recalled years later, and whose years of birth and death he would hardly ever have known, and who played no role worth mention in even a voluminous biography — would be identified, if possible, and usually by Voronina. She also solicited the aid of other Russian scholars, especially the chess master and logodaedalist Gennady Barabtarlo, who helped solve the riddles Vladimir posed for Véra. Credit where credit is due: The assiduity is Olga Voronina’s much more than mine. BRIAN BOYD

Question: At age 74, what did Pete Rose petition for?

ROSE ON HIS BEST BEHAVIOR A product of working-class west-side Cincinnati, Pete Rose, baseball’s career hits leader, was barred from the game in 1989 and finally acknowledged in 2004 that he bet on baseball. Now 74, Rose has petitioned for reinstatement, and there had been hopes locally that something might happen in time for the All-Star Game. Those hopes faded last month after ESPN said it obtained a notebook that shows Rose bet on baseball during his last season as an active player in 1986, not just afterward as manager.
