Question: What is the job of Kate Warne?

“The Fed has been one of the main supports of the stock market and the economy,” said Kate Warne, an investment strategist at Edward Jones. “It’s not a surprise that as it starts to move away from its extraordinary support that investors feel a bit nervous about what happens next.” Declines on Wednesday were led by energy stocks, which fell as the price of oil slumped for a third straight day. Oil dropped on concerns that global supplies are still outpacing demand. United States crude fell $1.79 to close at $44.15 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils used by many refineries in the United States, fell $1.94 to close at $47.58 in London. United States stocks had a strong opening after big gains in Asia. Japan’s Nikkei 225 soared after comments from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that raised expectations of more measures to shore up economic growth under his “Abenomics” stimulus program. The Nikkei rose 7.7 percent, its biggest one-day rise since October 2008.

Question: Who pledged to overhaul the drone operations by the C.I.A?

That unwavering support from Capitol Hill is but one reason the C.I.A.’s killing missions are embedded in American warfare and unlikely to change significantly despite President Obama’s announcement on Thursday that a drone strike accidentally killed two innocent hostages, an American and an Italian. The program is under fire like never before, but the White House continues to champion it, and C.I.A. officers who built the program more than a decade ago — some of whom also led the C.I.A. detention program that used torture in secret prisons — have ascended to the agency’s powerful senior ranks. Although lawmakers insist that there is great accountability to the program, interviews with administration and congressional officials show that Congress holds the program to less careful scrutiny than many members assert. Top C.I.A. officials, who learned the importance of cultivating Congress after the resistance they ran into on the detention program, have dug in to protect the agency’s drone operations, frustrating a pledge by Mr. Obama two years ago to overhaul the program and pull it from the shadows.

Later, Mr. Alexander said, the same officer “began quietly taunting and threatening me, telling me, ‘Don’t worry, Fat Boy, we’ll be seeing you really soon.’ ” In a letter to Prisoners’ Legal Services, Mr. Aponte, who also worked in the tailor shop, described going through a similar interrogation two days later.

Question: Where did the Girl Scouts go for a source of donations?

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: Who does Faust need to embrace this new structure?

So instead of an exchange-traded fund tracking an index, Eaton Vance could, for example, offer one directed by a portfolio manager who specializes in United States growth stocks. Unlike a traditional exchange-traded fund though — and this is the company’s special twist — the new vehicle would not have to disclose its daily basket of stocks, a crucial concern for managers who worry about speculators getting in front of their trades. “I really believe it’s a more efficient structure,” said Mr. Faust, a former equity research analyst who became chief executive of the firm in 2007. “Now, all we need is for the asset managers and the broker dealers to embrace it.”

Question: What disease has been linked with metzitzah b’peh?

Rabbi David Niederman, an influential Orthodox leader in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, sat outside a meeting of the New York City Board of Health on Wednesday, staring at a brochure and frowning. The pamphlet, created by the de Blasio administration, is a glossy but blunt warning about the dangers of metzitzah b’peh, an Orthodox circumcision ritual linked to herpes infections in infants. “Some babies can get sick with herpes, which can lead to death,” the form reads in bold type. “There is no way to avoid the risk.” “Serious misstatements,” Rabbi Niederman said, looking pained, as he read the brochure for the first time. But the rabbi declined to elaborate, telling a reporter that, for now, he wanted only to praise the city for trying to work with Orthodox leaders on the matter.

Question: What was the speed of the fastball that struck out Harper?

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: For how many days was this rally going on?

Oil had rallied over the previous four days as traders speculated that low prices would force more energy companies to curtail exploration and production.

Question: What percentage of American women currently smoke?

The findings provide stark evidence that the need to reduce smoking is more important than ever. Some 42 million American adults, 15 percent of women and 21 percent of men, still smoke. On average, they die more than a decade before nonsmokers. Poor people and those with less formal education are most likely to smoke. For the past 50 years, the evidence about tobacco’s dangers has been mounting. The landmark surgeon general’s report in 1964 first declared that smoking caused lung and laryngeal cancer and chronic bronchitis. A succession of later reports by the surgeon general kept adding to the list of smoking-related diseases.

Question: What is the most important part of going to see the games?

Until his health began to fail, we traveled to see the Cubs in San Francisco and San Diego, and Arizona, where in 2007 we took my son, Alex, to the first round of the National League playoffs so he could be duly indoctrinated: two games against the Diamondbacks, two losses by the Cubs. In truth, as time passes, the results have mattered less than the time we had together. The Cubs have been, more than anything else, a shared experience. I will remember that this October, when they reach the World Series. I plan to take Alex with me. But first I will have to speak with his high school basketball coach. I do not imagine he will be happy about my son missing practice right before the start of the season, so I am prepared to explain that the Cubs do not play in a World Series every day. If necessary, there is a deal I am prepared to make.

Question: Who warned about a digital economy?

Although strikes come and go here, the violence of the Uber brawl seemed to shock even the French. While commentators deplored the thuggery of some cabdrivers, they deplored “L’uberisation” even more. “The uberisation of the economy is a godless and lawless development model,” wrote Jean-Michel Bouguereau in La République des Pyrénées. Yves Théard in Le Figaro warned that “the invasion of the digital economy” risked loosening the screws of the French economic model, with its emphasis on workers’ rights and social protection, “one by one.” Yves Dusart in the newspaper L’Est Républicain, summed up, “The French model, snug in its padded jewelry box, is cracking.”

Question: How much attention do other cases something like Michael Brown get surprisingly?

David J. Leonard, an associate professor and chairman of the department of critical culture, gender and race studies at Washington State University, said that despite highly publicized cases like the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and Freddie Gray in Baltimore, many questionable deaths of minorities still received little attention. “There are countless other cases involving African-Americans in the past year that have not received coverage anywhere near the level of Zachary Hammond,” Professor Leonard said. Yet he said much of the attention the Hammond case received on Twitter was spurred by Black Lives Matter activists.

Question: Where is Steven Pitt from?

“Look for the defense to emphasize the fact that James Holmes truly suffers from a serious mental illness, that he is in dire need of ongoing treatment and that while incarcerated he does not pose any real threat or danger to society,” said Steven Pitt, a forensic psychiatrist in Arizona who has followed the case closely. “Look for the prosecution to try and minimize the extent of Holmes’s mental illness and instead depict him as someone who is depraved and rotten to the core.” The district attorney, George Brauchler, has said that for Mr. Holmes, “justice is death.” Prosecutors argued that Mr. Holmes plotted the shootings for several weeks, deliberately and meticulously, because he had lost his first and only girlfriend, had dropped out of his graduate program and had generally lost his purpose in life.

The government and defense have been locked in increasingly intense battles, some voiced through objections in court, others occurring out of earshot of the jury and the news media; the contents of some of those have been made available later through transcripts. The only testimony Thursday concerned the conditions that Mr. Tsarnaev would face in the supermax penitentiary in Colorado, sometimes called the ADX, where he is likely to go if the jury sentenced him to life in prison. William Weinreb, the lead prosecutor, told the judge in a sidebar that the prison conditions that Mr. Tsarnaev would face might be the most crucial factor weighed by the jury. “The jury cares a lot about this,” Mr. Weinreb said, according to a transcript. “We’re talking about maybe the most important thing for them.”

Question: What is Marcelo studying to be?

The #nightshift hashtag is especially well populated by the armed professions and the healing ones. Sometimes they are almost one and the same, as in the case of @armedmedic3153, a.k.a. Marcelo Aguirre, a paramedic in Newark and suburban New Jersey. He owns an AR-15, a 9-millimeter and a shotgun, but the only thing he shoots on the night shift is his camera. He works nights so he can study days; he wants to be a doctor. Nights are good preparation for that: You get more serious cases. You learn on the job. A 12-hour course each night you’re on. Twenty-four hours if you take a double. After a while, the adrenaline that juices you when you’re new — when you’re still keeping a tally of the lives you’ve saved — disappears. You just do the job. “High speed and low drag,” Aguirre told me when I called. “Please ignore the siren,” he said. “We’re going to a call.” A stroke. Nothing to get excited about. Coffee sustains him. He stays clean. Some guys, he said, use Provigil, but that’s prescribed. “For shift-work disorder,” he said.

Question: What was discovered from the Siberian Arctic?

Two cubs from the ice age were recently uncovered in the Siberian Arctic, perfectly frozen in the permafrost. Named Uyan and Dina after the Uyandina river where they were recovered, the cubs still had their fur and whiskers. “It’s the first time in history that a cave lion, although it is a cub and not a grown-up animal, was found with all the fur, internal organs and soft parts of the body so well-preserved,” Valery Plotnikov, a researcher at the regional Academy of Sciences, said to The Associated Press. Cave lions, the prehistoric relative of modern-day lions, are believed to have become extinct about 10,000 years ago.

Question: What group objected to the Pope's characterization of what was happening in the Middle East?

Confronted by the continuing and largely ignored persecution of Catholics and other Christians in the Middle East, it is no surprise that as forthright and courageous a pope as Francis would set aside diplomatic nicety and call genocide what it is: genocide. It is a great pity that as important a country as Turkey should continue to object as strongly as it does to what is by now so clearly the verdict of history, particularly after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s unprecedented and powerful offer of condolences last year to the victims’ grandchildren.

Question: how have many of the Sweet Briar graduates gotten back in touch?

At first blush, Dr. Pai’s profile and career seem at odds with the stereotype that has long been affixed to midcentury graduates of Sweet Briar: as Southern belles (perhaps accompanied by their horses) polished to a high sheen for careers as wives, mothers and volunteers. Yet the Pink Bubble, as Sweet Briar women have long called their alma mater, has also nurtured generations of feisty professionals, many of them working in the sciences, who attended the school before the era of widespread coeducation at the college level. Since March, when the school’s board suddenly said it would close the college because of dwindling enrollment and strapped finances, a campaign to save it has pursued legal and other actions with increasing gusto and success; last month, the Commonwealth of Virginia sued to keep the college open. Last week, a judge ruled that, for a period of 60 days, the board could not close the school using funds solicited for its operation.. The campaign #Save Sweet Briar has raised $1 million, and another $10 million has been pledged. Against this backdrop, the experiences of Sweet Briar’s postwar graduates, who have been galvanized by the campaign and are reconnecting on Facebook, email and by phone, paint a vivid picture of an era marked by conflicting cultures: one that was still defined by hostess houses, white gloves and the “ring before spring” doctrine that cast women’s colleges as mere finishing schools, and one with a commitment to educating women for roles far from the home.

Question: How many classes are provided by the United States Army?

For a moment, he twirled the rope in his hands like a lasso, then threw the hook over the wire, and tugged hard, testing for explosives. When nothing happened he signaled two comrades, who ran up and started snipping the wire with cutters. Although this was a typical training exercise for raw recruits in an elemental soldierly skill, there was nothing typical about the scene. Far from enlistees, these soldiers were regulars in the Ukrainian National Guard, presumably battle-hardened after months on the front lines in eastern Ukraine. And the trainer was an American military instructor, drilling troops for battle with the United States’ former Cold War foe, Russia, and Russian-backed separatists. “It’s been a long time since I heard a target called an Ivan,” First Sgt. David Dzwik, one of the trainers, said in an interview out in the sunny forest, while observing the Ukrainians run through drills. “Now, I’m hearing it again.” The course on cutting wire is one of 63 classes of remedial military instruction being provided by 300 United States Army trainers in three consecutive two-month courses. Here in western Ukraine, they are far from the fighting, and their job is to instill some basic military know-how in Ukrainian soldiers, who the trainers have discovered are woefully unprepared. The largely unschooled troops are learning such basic skills as how to use an encrypted walkie-talkie; how to break open a door with a sledgehammer and a crowbar; and how to drag a wounded colleague across a field while holding a rifle at the ready. When the war began a year ago, the Ukrainian Army was all but worthless — rife with corruption and Russian spies, and made up largely of “skeleton” battalions of officers with just a few men. About 1 percent of the equipment was manufactured in the past decade.

Question: What is Davis's scheduling strategy?

“But I wanted to play the really, really good teams so we could set ourselves apart from everybody else in the SWAC,” Davis said. “There’s some very good coaches in the SWAC, very good coaches. But unfortunately, financially, the resources are just not there. The talent level, our guards in our league can play with anybody. Anybody.” Texas Southern has one starter taller than 6 feet 5 inches. Arizona, by comparison, has four starters taller than 6-7. But that victory at Michigan State? Arizona Coach Sean Miller saw it on television in December. His players know all about it. Davis revealed his scheduling strategy: Play the toughest games over the holidays in December — which is when Texas Southern beat Michigan State and Kansas State. The student sections are depleted, the crowds more sedate, the opposing players distracted. “Some of them are missing their girlfriends,” Davis said. “They want to go home for Christmas. We come in there, Texas Southern — they’re not really respecting us. They’re shooting around, talking, laughing, not really serious. So that’s a good time to play them. In November, we’re in trouble.”

Question: Which generation uses a different "year one"?

Mr. Huang was inspired to build the museum after seeing the impressive Kuomintang history museum in Santikhiri, in Chiang Rai Province, the country’s most prominent Kuomintang village. “We can’t forget the history,” he said. “We can’t throw our forebears away. Regardless of what happens with China and Taiwan in the future, we are all Chinese people. We can’t forget our Chinese roots.” It is a sentiment shared by much of the older generation in Ban Rak Thai, who still speak of the past in terms of the traditional minguo calendar, which takes 1912 — the year the Republic of China was founded — as year one.

Question: Whose work is expected to be relevant longer?

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: At the time of this article, who was the interim president of the Rainforest Alliance?

Unilever’s sustainability measures can have ripple effects. The Rainforest Alliance, which has been certifying farmers in the developing world for decades, now certifies the chocolate for Magnum ice cream bars, the vanilla in Breyers ice cream, and the leaves in Lipton tea bags. After Unilever began using certified tea, other big tea producers including Twinings and Tata followed suit. “It’s more effective than anything else going on out there,” said Ana Paula Taveres, interim president of the Rainforest Alliance. “In a capitalist world, Unilever is using the global market to drive sustainability.”

Question: What is Net-a-Porter's sales profit last year?

Ms. Massenet’s Net-a-Porter has spent most of the past 15 years in the red, although it posted a 1.4 million pound profit on sales of 654 million pounds last year. Still, she has enviable industry contacts and a stellar individual reputation. The newly merged group may be easier to run with Yoox’s Mr. Marchetti as the single, clear leader. But Yoox may well miss Mr. Massenet’s input. Yoox also loses her just as online luxury is heating up. LVMH announced it is hiring Ian Rogers of Apple to head up its digital innovation. McKinsey research also shows the strongest growth in online luxury sales happening on the websites of individual luxury brands and leading department stores. For multibrand websites like Yoox Net-a-Porter, the trends are becoming more challenging.

Question: Which sister is described as "mellow"?

For good reasons, Serena, 33, has been everyone’s reference point this year. She won the Australian Open, then the French Open and then Wimbledon, and is the talk of the town here. All of that attention could be annoying for an elder sister who once shared the spotlight and now must stand in the shadows to watch her sister command it. Yet Venus hasn’t let her sister’s dominance distract her. “It’s easy,” Venus said. “I have to go to practice, and I have to get it in. When I play my match, I can’t think about anything else except what I’m doing on my side of the net.” Venus is mellow that way, always has been, and is reverential to her sister when need be. She never bites on questions searching for sibling rivalry, and never changes her demeanor. In answering one of the few questions asked to her on Friday about Serena, Venus recalled what her matches against Serena were like when they were young. “I used to always win in the early days,” she said, prompting laughter.

Answer: Venus

For good reasons, Serena, 33, has been everyone’s reference point this year. She won the Australian Open, then the French Open and then Wimbledon, and is the talk of the town here. All of that attention could be annoying for an elder sister who once shared the spotlight and now must stand in the shadows to watch her sister command it. <hl> Yet Venus hasn’t let her sister’s dominance distract her. <hl> “It’s easy,” Venus said. “I have to go to practice, and I have to get it in. When I play my match, I can’t think about anything else except what I’m doing on my side of the net.” Venus is mellow that way, always has been, and is reverential to her sister when need be.

Question: In what year did model, Tina Chow die?

“It’s not like I get impressed once, and I’m over it, and I need something new,” she said. “I love this teacup. It impresses me. When I love something, whether things or people, I love them very deeply.” She is the third Mrs. Chow. (Or maybe even the fourth; some magazine profiles over the years have indicated that Mr. Chow was briefly married in the 1960s. Asked to clarify, he responded: “I’m not a family lawyer, nor an accountant. I don’t think it’s relevant.”) She was preceded by the model Tina Chow, who died in 1992; and, before that, Grace Coddington, who is now the creative director at Vogue.

Question: How old was the mother?

A baby girl, only a few minutes old, swaddled in a blanket or clothes, was breathing on the hood of a car in the Wakefield section of the Bronx. Inside a two-family home nearby, her 22-year-old mother lay on the floor in a pool of blood, fatally stabbed several times in her torso and neck, the authorities said. She had been close to nine months pregnant.

Question: Under Mr. Roin's concept, what kinds of drugs would be affected?

Mr. Roin, the M.I.T. professor, describes another approach: to provide a period of market exclusivity — long enough to motivate investment in clinical trials — to any organization addressing an unmet medical need with a drug that isn’t patentable. If it invested in securing F.D.A. approval for a drug based on active ingredients not found in existing drugs, an organization would be granted such a period of market exclusivity and the stream of profits that usually accompanies it, even if the drug was considered obvious and not novel. That idea has been included in congressional legislation, but has not made it into law.

She wrote a letter of support when Ms. Harper was applying for a $1,500 scholarship to continue her nursing studies. The family still has Ms. Harper’s thank you card. “Once again, thank you so very much for helping me with my scholarship application,” the note says. “Now I can attend the nursing program without having to stress out about tuition!”

Question: Is retroactively installing rail lines cheap or expensive?

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: Who is Lindsay Miller?

There are no definitive figures, but officials say that most police forces do not use body cameras, or use them on a very limited basis. But according to a 2013 survey by the Police Executive Research Forum, a research group, about one in four of its member forces regularly used body cameras. And the number is rising quickly as the federal government provides grants for cameras, said Lindsay Miller, a senior research associate at the group.

Question: Who noticed the struggle and wanted to help?

Breast-feeding mothers usually struggle to find a private space at the airport to nurse their babies or pump their milk. The Burlington, Vt.-based household and baby care company Seventh Generation was aware of that challenge and decided to take action by sponsoring the installation of four pumping and nursing pods in New York area airports: one in the JetBlue terminal at Kennedy Airport, two at Newark Liberty International Airport and one at La Guardia Airport. The pods will officially open on Thursday, May 7, to coincide with Mother’s Day. Mamava, a brand dedicated to promoting the culture of breast-feeding, created the 4-foot-by-8-foot spaces, which are equipped with two benches and an electrical outlet. Their doors fully shut, and the rooms are large enough to fit a family of four plus luggage.

Question: what school did the dean offer to get Georgie into?

“So my grades were not great,” she said. One day she was summoned to the dean’s office. “Georgie,” she remembered the dean saying, “you have not made a hit socially or academically. How would you like to transfer to Princeton?” (The Ivy League school started accepting women in 1969.) “I said, ‘How would I get in?’ She told me not to worry, that it had been arranged, to just go. Being stubborn, I refused.” In the next three years, she worked hard, was elected president of the student government as well as the Glamour magazine representative for the school. She accepted that honor, she said, “wearing my usual uniform, the bluejeans, army jacket and boots.”

Question: What is the Christian idea?

They’re prisoners of a cruel delusion. I don’t see how a loving God could put them in such an impossible position. Then you can add this to the popular arguments against Christianity. But again, the Christian idea is that God asks the seemingly impossible of all of us — and, fortunately forgives us when we fail. Nobody has to accept this idea, but if you do it’s compatible with a lot of pain, struggle and mystery where humanity encounters God. Especially in a faith whose “Happy Easter” can’t be separated from the cross.

Question: What killed many of the spectators?

This took Macklin by surprise. He braked with his own less powerful drum brakes and swerved to the left to avoid the rapidly decelerating Jaguar. Meanwhile, Fangio, who was in second position, about 200 meters behind Hawthorn, was coming up to pass the Mercedes of Levegh. Levegh, though, was surprised by Macklin’s Austin-Healey swerving across the track. He could not slow in time. So while racing at 240 kilometers an hour, with Fangio right behind him, Levegh’s Mercedes made contact with the left rear of Macklin’s car and was catapulted into the air. It crashed on the embankment on the spectator side of the track and exploded in a ball of flames from the fuel. Levegh, 49, was thrown from the car and killed instantly. His car broke into several pieces. Both the engine and the rear hood, with the air brake, were ripped out of the car and plowed a furrow through the crowd. Worse, the hood spun around like a disc through the packed group of spectators, decapitating dozens of people. Many other spectators were killed by the explosion. The initial flames caused by the burning fuel raised the heat level of the chassis, causing the magnesium to explode in white-hot flames, sending embers into the crowd.

Question: Dakar is the capital of what country?

Tens of thousands of children in Senegal are being exploited by Quranic teachers who force them to beg in the streets, Human Rights Watch said Monday, blaming the government for failing to carry out a 2005 law aimed at stopping the trafficking of children and their exploitation in Quranic schools. A 2014 government census of the Islamic schools found that more than 30,000 children were being forced to beg in the capital, Dakar, alone. Nine of the students, called talibes, testified to regular beatings with rubber whips, wood and rope by their teacher and his assistants, the watchdog group said.
