Question: What year was the experiment "Moving" done by the government?

One of her children is thriving in a special education program where he gets one-to-one attention, and she is thrilled that the school provides regular updates on his progress. In Dallas, she did not learn that he had been attending the wrong class until she received a notice requiring her to appear at truancy court. Her eldest daughter, 14, has started to talk about going to college. “It’s so quiet out here,” Ms. White said as she sat in the living room of the first house she has lived in, the family’s new dog on her lap. “I love it.” The government has tried before to fix the rent subsidy program. In the early 1990s, an experiment called Moving to Opportunity required some families to use their vouchers in more expensive neighborhoods. In 2000, a broader initiative raised the value of all vouchers in 49 metropolitan areas. Officials hoped the change would make it possible for families to find rental apartments in a broader range of neighborhoods. Instead, a recent study by the economists Peter Ganong of Harvard and Robert Collinson of New York University found that most families ended up paying higher rents in the same neighborhoods — and often for the same units.

Question: Where does Jamie Dimon work?

Investor redemption may be nearing for investment banks. Most lenders’ wholesale units have destroyed value for seven years. Some may have done so again in the first quarter of this year. JPMorgan kicks off results season next week and its chief executive, Jamie Dimon, said in his annual letter to shareholders on Wednesday that returns could be attractive in the long run, if not the short term. But if the biggest players cut costs by a relatively modest 2 percent per year while expanding revenue at the same rate, the industry could produce a combined return on equity of more than 12 percent by 2017, a Breakingviews calculator shows.

Question: Where was the voting age changed in recent years?

“I have my own environment that I grew up in, my own experiences that lead me to make the choices that I do,” she said, explaining that her parents were not very politically active. The last time the voting age was a major issue was in 1971, when lawmakers passed the 26th Amendment, which lowered the voting age to 18 from 21, aligning it with the minimum age for military service during the Vietnam War. In Maryland, Takoma Park lowered the voting age to 16 for municipal contests in 2013, and Hyattsville did so in 2015, after local advocates pushed for changing it.

Question: What companies lost 20 percent?

The biggest names in the hedge fund industry have seen their gains for the year reversed. William A. Ackman’s Pershing Square Capital Management has lost 9.4 percent so far this year, while Marcato International, a hedge fund run by Mick McGuire, a protégé of Mr. Ackman, has lost 11.6 percent. Hedge fund managers who have gained sterling records in recent years are suffering, including Larry Robbins of Glenview Capital Management, who is down 13.5 percent. Among the worst-hit hedge fund managers are those who took large concentrated bets in the same stocks, so-called hedge fund hotels. Nine of the most popular stocks owned by hedge funds, including Valeant and Cheniere Energy, lost more than 20 percent over the quarter, according to research by Novus.

Question: At what time will the museum open?

The museum will open early, at 9:30, with a daylong pi scavenger hunt. (It closes at 5 p.m.) “The idea is to find places where aspects of pi come up in the exhibits,” said Glen Whitney, co-founder of the museum and president of its board. Children can also do pi puzzles there and play a circular version of tick-tack-toe involving four concentric loops divided into wedges. Visitors can explore pi further by filling the spaces on a circular grid with candy, and feeding a chosen set of digits (a birthday, a phone number) into a computer and learning where that sequence appears in pi.

Question: What is the most popular sport's league in the United States?

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 is happening in the diamond market now?

Now that the market is more competitive, De Beers focuses more on marketing its own brands, such as Forevermark, a symbol etched on diamonds that have passed quality assurance tests. The symbol is visible only with a special instrument and helps buyers know, for example, that a diamond is not man-made. (De Beers also produces synthetic diamonds but only for industrial applications, such as lasers.) “We have to make sure that diamonds remain a relevant luxury category,” said Mr. Mellier of De Beers.

Question: Who is the owner of the Capitol Theater?

Just a few months after what was billed as the Grateful Dead’s last stand — five sold-out stadium shows for some 212,000 fans that grossed more than $60 million in ticket and pay-per-view sales — the band is rising once again, albeit in a slightly fractured arrangement. This weekend, insatiable Deadheads can see all of the group’s so-called core four living members in just two stops: Madison Square Garden, which will host Dead & Company — featuring Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann, joined by the pop singer and guitarist John Mayer, the bassist Oteil Burbridge and the keyboardist Jeff Chimenti — for two sold-out shows on Saturday and Sunday; and at the Capitol Theater, about 30 miles north in Port Chester, N.Y., where the Dead bassist Phil Lesh will play three consecutive nights starting Friday (with another run Nov. 5 to 7). “Only in the world of the Grateful Dead could that happen on Halloween,” said Peter Shapiro, the concert promoter who owns the Capitol and organized this summer’s “Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of Grateful Dead” shows in Chicago and Santa Clara, Calif. The Dead had a penchant for blown-out holiday concerts, he noted, and both locales are “institutional venues” where the full band played dozens of times.

Question: Where was Time Rice' album recorded?

“What that did for me, at that impressionable age, was make theater and rock ’n’ roll indistinguishable,” Mr. Lloyd Webber said. “I just thought rock was about theater, and rather old variety theater, at that.” Years later, he and Tim Rice recorded the original 1970 concept album for “Jesus Christ Superstar” — hailed, in its own time, as revolutionary and denounced as sacrilegious — at London’s Olympic Studios, next door to Led Zeppelin.

Question: The US national team needs what player badly?

“Clint is about scoring goals,” Klinsmann said. “We need Clint Dempsey badly with the national team.

Question: What city did Robert Griffin III play for at some point?

While the Giants are methodical, embracing change with the speed of a glacier, Snyder has presided over change after change in futile pursuit of buying, leasing or renting a championship. So far, that effort has seen him burn through eight head coaches and more than a dozen starting quarterbacks. The only thing Snyder has not changed — and the one thing he should — is his team’s offensive nickname. “Redskins” has become a weight that hangs around the franchise’s neck like a yoke. More critically, on Snyder’s watch, Washington has seemingly ruined quarterback Robert Griffin III.

Question: How much warning did Boehner give to McCarthy about his announcement to retire?

“When it became clear that the majority leader lost his election, I didn’t frankly believe it was right for me to leave at the end of last year,” Mr. Boehner said. But if Mr. Boehner was counting on his No. 2 to replace him, he did not give Mr. McCarthy much warning, telling him about his plans to retire only two minutes before giving the news to the entire House Republican conference. “I had to tell him five times, because he didn’t believe me,” Mr. Boehner said. While there appear to be no challengers to Mr. McCarthy for the speakership at this point, there is little doubt that Tea Party conservatives will be looking for a candidate to back.

By the late 1960s, colleges and universities across the country were struggling to remake themselves, roiled by social revolution, the civil rights and antiwar movements and the nascent feminist advances.

Question: How can you protect files in your personal computer?

There’s little individuals can do about information stolen in broad data breaches, like the one recently reported at the health insurer Anthem, Ms. Velasquez said. But you can take steps, like declining to provide your Social Security number unless it is a requirement; shredding documents with any personal information before disposing of them; and storing sensitive documents, like tax returns, in a locked file. It’s also important to keep your computer’s anti-malware and virus programs up to date.

Question: Who was injured?

Larry Fitzgerald topped 1,000 receiving yards in a season for the seventh time. Fitzgerald, who caught eight passes for 55 yards, also became the youngest player to reach 1,000 career catches. The Rams, who have lost five in a row, announced that 51,115 tickets had been distributed, a season low and about 15,000 shy of a sellout. BRONCOS 17, CHARGERS 3 Brock Osweiler hit Demaryius Thomas for a 3-yard score on the opening drive, and Danny Trevathan intercepted a Philip Rivers pass and returned it 25 yards for a touchdown as Denver won at San Diego. Osweiler moved to 3-0 since taking over for the injured Peyton Manning. San Diego has lost five straight at home and five straight against A.F.C. West foes. Running back Melvin Gordon, the Chargers’ first-round draft pick this year, lost a fumble and was benched. CHIEFS 34, RAIDERS 20 Derek Carr passed for 283 yards and two touchdowns, but he also threw three fourth-quarter interceptions that sank Oakland against visiting Kansas City, which won its sixth straight. Two of Carr’s interceptions led to Jeremy Maclin touchdown catches, and Tyvon Branch returned the third for a game-clinching score. The Raiders, who have lost four of five, were leading by 6 points and driving when Carr’s mistakes changed the tide of the game. BILLS 30, TEXANS 21 Tyrod Taylor threw three scoring passes, including a 40-yarder to Charles Clay with 1:53 left, and he had a rushing score to help Buffalo secure a home win. Taylor passed for 211 yards, was sacked just once and added 28 rushing yards. He showed little fear in throwing into double coverage, completing two 53-yard passes to Sammy Watkins. And Taylor played with poise in finding Clay for the decisive touchdown after the Bills’ offense had sputtered, with five punts and a missed field-goal attempt on the team’s first six drives of the second half. BENGALS 37, BROWNS 3 Cincinnati’s Andy Dalton threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score to notch his 50th career win, sending host Cleveland to its seventh straight loss.

Question: What had been taken away from the factory?

In hindsight, the security cameras, wire and lights Mr. Mondella installed after a break-in about eight years ago seemed strange, Mr. Murano said, especially after investigators told neighbors that a large sum of money had been taken. “I didn’t think he was protecting the Dye No. 7 or his equipment,” he said. Yet the factory seemed nothing if not successful. Mr. Mondella had expanded the plant multiple times, neighbors said, and he had bought warehouses and satellite facilities on other streets nearby. Hurricane Sandy devastated much of the rest of the waterfront neighborhood, but left the Dell’s factory intact.

Question: Who specifically might really like dinners at Noreetuh?

Noreetuh has plenty of dishes for a successful first visit. Dinner will be particularly fun for wine lovers because Mr. Ahn has compiled an overachieving list of German rieslings, Burgundies in both colors, grower Champagnes and more far-flung treats. Better still, the prices are low; just by sticking to your budget, you can drink at a higher level than usual. Noreetuh may have a trickier time converting new diners into regulars, though. The two dining rooms, while tasteful enough, don’t have anything you could really call atmosphere. Noreetuh means “playground” in Korean, and the owners seem to want to give a party. But where did they find their DJ.? A Motown hit parade is followed by “Yellow Submarine,” and then by Taylor Swift, Natalie La Rose and, gosh, is that really Taylor Swift, twice in one night?

Question: What is Daniel Bruhl's profession?

A legal fight over the struggle for ownership of an artwork is hardly the stuff of high drama. And the screenplay can’t find a way to make that conflict, or the ethical and moral issues involved, compelling beyond the obvious guessing game of who will win. Maria’s ambivalence about continuing to pursue what sometimes seems to be a hopeless quest is the dramatic core of the film. Once she and Randy arrive in Vienna, the paperwork concerning the painting’s history is withheld from them. Only with the help of a local journalist (Daniel Brühl) can they penetrate the wall of secrecy and evasion and learn that the painting, commissioned by Adele’s husband, and later acquired by the Belvedere’s duplicitous curator, belonged not to Adele, but to her husband, who willed it to his heirs.

Question: What is Governor Cuomo's political affiliation?

ALBANY —  In an emerging sign of possible budget-battle lines, Democrats in the New York Assembly rejected proposals on Monday by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo linking an increase in statewide school aid to an array of his proposed changes. They also sided with Mayor Bill de Blasio’s bid for longer-term mayoral control of New York City’s schools. The Democrats’ stance, articulated in several proposals released by Speaker Carl E. Heastie of the Bronx, keeps a tight focus in Albany on the issue of education, which Mr. Cuomo has promised to make a focus of his nascent second term. In January, Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, introduced a series of education proposals, including making a teacher evaluation system rely more heavily on state tests, raising the number of charter schools in the state and allowing failing schools to be taken over by outside groups. That position was criticized by teachers’ unions but praised by supporters of the charter school movement. Mr. Cuomo’s education plan also includes a financial carrot: an increase of $1.1 billion in state aid if his proposals become law. But on Monday, Mr. Heastie suggested that such an approach would not pass muster in the Assembly, which Democrats control.

Question: How many shares must be sold?

Mr. Mattes would serve as chief executive of the combined company, while Eckard Heidloff, the Wincor Nixdorf chief executive, would be its president. The transaction requires Wincor Nixdorf’s investors to agree to sell at least 67.6 percent of the company’s outstanding shares to Diebold and is subject to regulatory approval. Diebold would pay €39.98 in cash and 0.434 Diebold shares for each share of Wincor Nixdorf. The company would be called Diebold Nixdorf and have its registered offices in North Canton, Ohio. It would have headquarters in North Canton and in Paderborn, Germany. The company would list its shares in New York and Frankfurt.

Question: What year did the assault weapons law expire in?

It’s always the same story. The San Bernardino murderers were wielding assault rifles, with which they were able to fire an estimated 65-75 bullets in rapid succession. Assault weapons, which seem to be the armament of choice for mass shootings, used to be illegal under a law that expired in 2004. If the law had stayed on the books, how many victims would have survived in San Bernardino, or at the elementary school in Newtown, Conn.? Given the fact that semiautomatic weapons are totally inappropriate for either hunting or home defense, some of us would love to trade them for the possibility of reduced casualties next time somebody decides to go on a rampage. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is an excellent example of the politicians who totally disagree. Last time an assault weapons ban came up, he argued that Americans should not be forced to rely on regular slowpoke rifles “in an environment where the law and order has broken down, whether it’s a hurricane, national disaster, earthquake, terrorist attack, cyberattack where the power goes down and the dam’s broken and chemicals have been released into the air and law enforcement is really not able to respond and people take advantage of that lawless environment.”

Question: In Haiti, Mr. Rodham and his partners sought to raise how much to rebuild homes?

On and off for two decades, the affable Mr. Rodham has tried to use his connections with his sister and his brother-in-law, former President Bill Clinton, to further a business career that has seen more failures than successes. The connections to the Clintons have given Mr. Rodham, a self-described “facilitator,” a unique appeal and a range of opportunities, like addressing Chinese investor conferences and joining an advisory board of a company seeking permission to mine for gold in Haiti. But his business dealings have often invited public scrutiny and uncomfortable questions for the Clintons as Mr. Rodham has cycled through a variety of ventures, leveraging his ties to them and sometimes directly seeking their help. When Mr. Clinton worked as a co-chairman of Haiti’s earthquake recovery commission, Mr. Rodham and his partners sought a $22 million deal to rebuild homes in the country. In court proceedings three years ago in an unrelated lawsuit, Mr. Rodham explained how “a guy in Haiti” had “donated” 10,000 acres of land to him and described how he had leaned on Mr. Clinton to get the rebuilding project funded amid bureaucratic delays. “I deal through the Clinton Foundation. That gets me in touch with the Haitian officials,” Mr. Rodham said, according to a transcript of his testimony. “I hound my brother-in-law, because it’s his fund that we’re going to get our money from. And he can’t do it until the Haitian government does it.

Question: Who is Kirk Blalock?

Delta has its own array of lobbyists, including a former top aide of Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, and Steve Elmendorf, a former top Democratic aide in the House and one of Washington’s pre-eminent schmoozers. The Republican lobbying firm Fierce, Isakowitz and Blalock was all-in for Delta until one of its chiefs, Mark Isakowitz, joined the staff of Senator Rob Portman, Republican of Ohio and a crucial vote on the issue. The renamed Fierce Government Relations soldiers on for Delta, with Kirk Blalock, a senior official in the George W. Bush White House, and Aleix Jarvis, a former aide to Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, leading the charge.

Question: Which Justice wrote the majority opinion in the 2003 military affirmative action case?

WASHINGTON —  The most influential friend-of-the-court brief in living memory was filed by a group of retired military officers in a 2003 affirmative action case. When the case was argued, the justices echoed the brief’s argument that military preparedness would be threatened if service academies could not ensure a diverse officer corps. Justice Sandra Day O’Connor’s majority opinion, allowing race-conscious admissions at public universities, quoted at length from the brief. The law firm that filed the brief, now called Sidley Austin, has filed a new one by former military officials in the same-sex marriage cases to be heard next week. Their message this time is that the patchwork of marriage laws around the country hurts military families and threatens national security.

Question: Where did the beating take place?

Night had fallen at the Clinton Correctional Facility in far northern New York when the prison guards came for Patrick Alexander. They handcuffed him and took him into a broom closet for questioning. Then, Mr. Alexander said in an interview last week, the beatings began. As the three guards, who wore no name badges, punched him and slammed his head against the wall, he said they shouted questions: “Where are they going? What did you hear? How much are they paying you to keep your mouth shut?” One of the guards put a plastic bag over his head, Mr. Alexander said, and threatened to waterboard him.

Question: How many editions of each piece need to be completed?

“But you try and say yes to those that instinctively feel interesting, and I thought, ‘Why not give this a shot?”’ The idea behind Daata is simple. Once a year, 18 video, sound and digital artists will be commissioned to do six pieces of three minutes or less, 15 editions of each piece. The works are available to be purchased and downloaded from the site. Daata has a sliding price scale. Sound, web and digital works start at $100 and increase by edition to a top price of $2,800; for video, the starting price is $200, increasing by increments to a top price of $5,600. The price difference, Mr. Gryn said, is linked to the perceived higher market value of video. Daata keeps the revenue and pays each artist a 15 percent royalty on each sale.

Question: Who did Dostum lobby?

ALMAR, Afghanistan —  At first, Vice President Abdul Rashid Dostum tried to get help from his own government, lobbying the National Security Council to intervene as a Taliban offensive began making serious inroads on his home territory, a once relatively quiet northern region of Afghanistan. But after months of mostly fruitless pleading, Mr. Dostum — a feared former warlord who had brutally fought the Taliban and also provoked some of the worst excesses of the long Afghan civil war — turned back to his roots. Activating a collection of private militias in addition to some Afghan police and army units, he went charging up north in July.

Question: Which state does Harold Rogers represent?

WASHINGTON —  Lawmakers from both parties lashed out at the newly appointed director of the Secret Service at a hearing Tuesday, accusing him of doing little to restore the public’s faith in an agency jolted by embarrassing scandals and security breaches. Republican lawmakers seized on accusations that two drunken Secret Service agents crashed a government car into a White House barricade after a party this month. Representative Harold Rogers, Republican of Kentucky and the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, called the incident “unacceptable” and said it represented a “breakdown, to put it mildly, of the discipline within the ranks of your agency.”

Question: What time is the Vikings and Broncos game?

Here are the best games to watch in N.F.L. Week 4: Vikings (2-1) at Broncos (3-0) 4:25 p.m. Line: Broncos by 7 “Who is a better running back than me?” Vikings running back Adrian Peterson asked a group of reporters last week. He may have a point. Peterson, 30, is at an age when running backs tend to wear down, but after being suspended for 15 games last season, he has emerged as an example of how an extended break from the rigors of competition can rejuvenate an aging star. Through three games, he leads the N.F.L. with 291 rushing yards, and last week he uncorked a 43-yard touchdown run that had fans checking their calendars to see if they had traveled back to 2012. One could argue for Jamaal Charles, Le’Veon Bell or Matt Forte as the game’s best running back, but Peterson is certainly in the discussion. The question now is whether Peterson’s two-week outburst, in which he shredded the Lions and the Chargers, is a fluke or a sign that he and the Vikings are back.

Question: What is the real embarrassment of the city?

“Urban development and politics here should be like music in the city, where you have both the Philharmonic and nightclubs like Berghain,” Mr. Ludewig argued. “We should have Museum Island and also the Flussbad to show we’re still a city where crazy ideas can become reality.” Opponents of the Flussbad fume about the prospect of bikini-clad bathers despoiling a noble site. But the real embarrassment is the dirty canal. Architectural preservationists fret that stairways cut into the canal’s retaining walls will tamper with a World Heritage Site, altering the work of a cultural hero, the neo-Classical architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, who conceived the museum quarter. But the walls have been rebuilt untold times over the years, and a mess of lights, moorings and signs have been stuck onto them. They are hardly inviolable.

Question: What was tapped to perform the first musical number on Tonys broadcast

Gallows humor about being passed over by the Tony Awards has become a bit of a theme this year. The awards show, on June 7, opened with Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming teasing a producer, Harvey Weinstein, about the lack of nominations for his big Broadway adventure, “Finding Neverland,” and closed with Larry David and Jason Alexander in an extended riff on the lack of nominations for their show, “Fish in the Dark.” The producers of those shows can afford to make light of their losses because their productions are doing well financially. “Rotten!” was tapped to perform the first musical number on the Tonys broadcast, which helped spur ticket sales of more than $750,000 two days in a row, and “Rotten!,” “Neverland” and “Fish” have each been grossing more than $1 million a week — a strong performance for Broadway.

Question: Who was scolded by Pliny?

Literature has given us especially brilliant stories about office work — “Bartleby the Scrivener,” by Melville; “Something Happened,” by Joseph Heller; “Then We Came to the End,” by Joshua Ferris — and, also, oddly enough, about working in hotels: “An American Tragedy,” by Theodore Dreiser; “I Served the King of England,” by Bohumil Hrabal; “Confessions of Felix Krull,” by Thomas Mann. Another through-line, of work that is miserable to do, can be traced from Émile Zola to Upton Sinclair to Barbara Ehrenreich. But then there are books that are about work not by having some kind of work as their subject matter, but instead by being incarnations of an extraordinary amount of work: a luxurious, wonderful kind of work, the elective work of learning. In order to finish his vast projects, amid his other state responsibilities, Pliny barely slept, never married and had someone read to him or take dictation even as he prepared for his bath. His nephew tells the story of how once after a dinner, when a book was being read aloud and another diner interrupted to correct the reader’s pronunciation of a word, Pliny the Elder scolded him: “We have lost more than 10 lines through your interruption.”
