Question: How many jobs were lost during the recession in the legal sector?

During the recession, the legal sector — which is not confined to lawyers — shed about 60,000 jobs, and only about 20,000 have been added back, said James G. Leipold, executive director of the National Association for Law Placement, citing data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Among the lawyers affected by the cuts, those with two to three years of experience were hit particularly hard, said David P. Miranda, president of the New York State Bar Association. As a result, he said, recent law school graduates have found themselves competing for work not only with classmates, but also with seasoned lawyers. The difficulty in finding jobs appears to have discouraged some people from pursuing legal careers, he added. Indeed, law school enrollment across the country dropped 30 percent over the past four years, Mr. Leipold said.

Question: What did Daniel Irwin bring to the church?

Christopher also went to the hospital with Daniel and Joseph Irwin and David Morey, but did not go inside. He later was driven to a Home Depot parking lot near the hospital, he said, where he tried to rest but instead vomited. Finally, he was returned to the church, where Daniel Irwin made up a “mattress and a blanket and pillow for me” and “brought me some food and water.” That evening, he spoke to the police on the phone and left the church. Tom O’Brien, the lawyer for Ms. Ferguson, had little comment on the charges but said he expected evidence for the defense to come out at trial. Scott D. McNamara, the Oneida County district attorney, said he would not comment on the facts of the case but suggested that Tiffanie Irwin could face charges when the case went before a grand jury, which is likely to happen before the end of November. “We are looking at everybody who was involved in this incident,” Mr. McNamara said, adding that he could pursue charges like depraved indifference to murder or gang assault. Mr. McNamara said he was impressed by Christopher’s bravery in facing his half sister, who is one of his alleged assailants. “We asked a lot of a very young man,” he said, adding, “I can’t imagine the stress he was under.”

Question: How large was the endowment at Brooklyn Law School?

“Knowing you have a little extra security is very comforting and helpful,” said Ms. Friedman, who is from Fair Lawn, N.J. The introduction of the program, called Bridge to Success, comes as law school graduates across the country face increasing competition in a depressed job market that is only slowly recovering from the economic downturn. “This builds on the overall approach that we’ve taken to be very student-centric, to listen to what students need,” said Nicholas W. Allard, dean of Brooklyn Law School. He said it was the school’s strong financial standing, including an endowment of $133 million as of May, that made the program possible.

Question: What's the bigger threat for Google?

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

Question: Which one is the brotherhood in which Trey is affiliated?

“People see ‘gang member,’ and the words ‘psycho killer’ instantly pop in their head. But that isn’t the case,” Andrew Papachristos, a Chicago native and an associate professor of sociology at Yale, says. A majority of residents who claim sets in Chicago are more like Trey, my close friend of 17 years and a member of the 81st Street Black P. Stones in Auburn Gresham. Trey has no violent criminal record and works full time as a security guard. In areas like Gresham, a lot of young men don’t have the luxury of opting out of affiliation with the local set; banding together in brotherhoods can be a survival strategy in neighborhoods where personal reputation is capital and walking the streets alone makes it more likely that you’ll be seen as weak.

Question: Who isn't a mom and pop but is a chain?

Though Zaro’s is also a chain and not a mom-and-pop operation, it has survived in a changing part of the Bronx — a place where stromboli and red velvet cupcakes coexist with challah and hamantaschen, even as the neighborhood has transformed from heavily Jewish to one predominately of black and Hispanic residents. “The Bronx has been our home since 1927 — a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away,” Mr. Zaro said. “The Bronx has been good to us, and we love the Bronx,” he added. “I was always proud to tell people that we still had a branch in Parkchester.”

Question: What revolution was going on when the author reached drinking age?

Except that it’s beer, not wine, that goes so naturally with baseball, hot dogs, peanuts and conversation, especially under the ideal conditions of afternoon sunshine. I came of drinking age as the craft beer revolution was taking off in this country. I am sad to say that I’ve very rarely had a good beer in a ballpark, certainly not in Yankee Stadium, home of the team I’ve rooted for all my life. Even as great craft brews are available in many ballparks around the country, Yankee Stadium has remained in thrall to the big distributors, squeezing out all but corporate products. But spring is the season of unrealistic hopes, so I can fantasize how I’d stock my ideal concession. First, as a ballgame generally calls for multiple beers, you wouldn’t want the heavy hitters, contemplative barley wines and other high-alcohol brews.

Question: The Islamic State took over the #2 city in Iraq in what month?

VENICE — When Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, fell to the Islamic State in June, members of the Ruya Foundation, an Iraqi nonprofit that set up the country’s pavilion at the last Venice Biennale, considered scrapping all plans for this year’s exhibition. “With all this carnage and death and rape, how could you even think of culture?” said Tamara Chalabi, chairwoman of the foundation. In the end, the plans went forward because it was “a statement,” she said. “When there’s so much else being destroyed, this is also one way of trying to preserve culture.”

Question: Whose skill does Girardi complement?

“I wasn’t sure what to expect in spring training,” Girardi said last week. “But Alex is a worker and he knows how to play the game. And he’s been a really smart player for a long period of time, so if there’s anyone who can figure it out quickly, it would be Alex.” Rodriguez’s performance has moved him into the good graces of many, but not all, Yankees fans. On the road, Rodriguez has been booed, though it often seems as if it is a matter of course. As Rodriguez noted recently, he has been a popular villain since 2001, when he signed a then-record $252 million free-agent contract with the Texas Rangers.

Question: When was Shelly Silver up for re-election?

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: From what other Asian countries are 3,000 men fighting in Syria believed to be from?

If the Islamic State seemed a distant threat at one point, the Kremlin now appears genuinely concerned about repercussions. About 2,400 Russians have joined the extremist movement, a senior security official announced recently, and an additional 3,000 men from Central Asian states are believed to be fighting in Syria. It is considered unlikely that Mr. Putin will propose sending Russian troops to join the fighting. The memories of the Russian debacle in Afghanistan in the 1980s remain too fresh. Even Russian casualties fighting next door in Ukraine — a war the public accepted as necessary for its own protection — were hidden by the state.

Question: How much did credit card edge up?

Nearly all of the October gain came from the category that covers auto and student loans, while credit card borrowing edged up a mere $200 million. The increase suggests that more Americans are borrowing to improve their educational skills and upgrade their cars and trucks, instead of relying on debt to fund their daily shopping and emergency expenses. Many economists expect that consumer spending will be relatively healthy in the coming months because of strong job gains that have bolstered auto and home sales for much of 2015. Yet a struggling global economy has tempered United States growth as the year draws to an end. The Labor Department reported last week that employers added 211,000 jobs in November and 298,000 in October. The unemployment rate held steady at 5 percent last month. The report showed evidence that workers who were pushed to the sidelines during the recession and sluggish six-year recovery were filtering back into the job market. The overall economy has advanced despite a waning global economy. A stronger dollar, slowing growth in China, a recession in Japan and a struggling Europe have been a drag on United States manufacturing, hurting overall growth. United States gross domestic product — aided by consumer spending — advanced at an annual rate of 2.1 percent in the July-September quarter, down from a 3.9 percent rate in the prior quarter. The deceleration is expected to continue. The Atlanta Fed forecasts that growth will slip in the final three months of 2015 to an annual rate of 1.5 percent. The private forecasting firm Macroeconomic Advisers estimates that the rate will be 1.7 percent.

Question: Can Woods joke?

Woods said he was able to joke after a round like Friday’s because on the PGA Tour, bad days come with the picturesque scenery. “We all have days like this,” he said. “Unfortunately, you know, mine was in a public forum, in a public setting.” Is it worrisome that Woods’s worst day as a pro coincided with one of the best by his heir apparent, Rory McIlroy, who posted a 64 in the second round of the Dubai Desert Classic? Should Woods’s galleries take anything from the fact that Jack Nicklaus, whose 18 career major victories Woods is targeting, won three of them after age 39? Are Woods’s chipping yips and his recent spate of injuries the beginning of his demise or grist for a gripping comeback tale?

Question: How should neuroscience and robotics be treated according to Dr. Ohayon?

Now he has returned to the research: In the Green Neuroscience Laboratory, a sandboxlike table is home to small robot used to model neural network behavior. The research group recently published work exploring the basis of neural activity needed to support movement in an environment. But Dr. Ohayon is treading gingerly, looking for ways to ensure that his findings are not misused. “We have to treat neuroscience and robotics like we treat biological and chemical weapons,” he said. Dr. Lam and Dr. Ohayon have decided that all of their research projects must have two components.

Question: Which organization is going to ensure things are done correctly by Mr. Tsipras and his government?

If the deal is a political earthquake for Greece, it also puts the country on course for a major economic shake-up. It aims to force Greece once again to tackle many issues it has kicked aside for years, from simple ones like getting reliable economic statistics to more complex ones like opening up product and service markets, further streamlining the pension system, improving tax collection and moving ahead on privatization. Yet even if the Greek Parliament passes a spate of reforms this week, Athens has a spotty track record at carrying out tough changes. As a result, Mr. Tsipras has now agreed to have the International Monetary Fund survey every move he and his government make.

Answer: International Monetary Fund

It aims to force Greece once again to tackle many issues it has kicked aside for years, from simple ones like getting reliable economic statistics to more complex ones like opening up product and service markets, further streamlining the pension system, improving tax collection and moving ahead on privatization. Yet even if the Greek Parliament passes a spate of reforms this week, Athens has a spotty track record at carrying out tough changes. <hl> As a result, Mr. Tsipras has now agreed to have the International Monetary Fund survey every move he and his government make. <hl>

Question: Who described the EU as the modern heir to Germany's Third Reich?

In July 2013, Mr. Putin sat next to Mr. Medvedchuk at an event the group held in Kiev and gave a speech about the deep historical ties between Russia and Ukraine, including “the common spiritual values that make us a single people.” Throughout that fall, Ukrainian Choice ran an aggressive anti-gay ad campaign warning against decayed values in the West. In a precursor to Russia’s now frequent charges of fascism against Kiev and the West, Mr. Medvedchuk described the European Union as the modern heir to Germany’s Third Reich. A co-founder of a major law firm in Kiev, he was not always so virulently anti-Western, according to analysts who have followed his career. As a member of Parliament from 1997 to 2002, he was known to express pro-European views, and had strong working relationships with officials in Poland. Yet, he became so powerful and influential as Mr. Kuchma’s chief of staff, from 2002 to 2005, that there was a joke in Kiev political circles: Mr. Kuchma was serving as president in the Medvedchuk administration. Some Ukrainian analysts believe there is more than a grain of truth in the gag, and that Mr. Putin’s goal is to create a Medvedchuk administration, if not in Kiev, then in Donetsk, where the Kremlin has made clear it would like to see the region granted autonomy similar to that of Chechnya in Russia. In May, with the crisis in eastern Ukraine deepening, Mr. Putin publicly urged that Mr. Medvedchuk be given an important role as a peace negotiator. As soon as Mr. Medvedchuk got involved, the Kremlin issued a statement expressing Mr. Putin’s praise.

Question: What state is J. Patryce Design located in?

Q. Our fireplace surround is outdated brick. Should we replace it before selling? A. “Most people like the idea of a fireplace, even if they barely use it,” said Sandra Smith, a real estate salesperson at Compass, in Manhattan. So “a fireplace brings value to a property.” But whether it’s worth spending the time and money to update the surround on your fireplace depends on a number of factors, she said. If your whole home is in need of renovation, changing the surround is unlikely to make much of a difference in buyers’ eyes. And if the fireplace is nonfunctional, “you should take that into account in determining how much you want to invest,” Ms. Smith said, because some buyers may prefer to use the space for something else, like built-in bookshelves. However, if the rest of your home is in good shape and has an up-to-date look, and you have a working fireplace, an outdated surround needs attention. “The mantel serves as a center-point of the home, and you usually design a room around it,” said Joan Enger, owner of J. Patryce Design, in Hoboken, N.J. “So it has to be right.”

Question: What state levied $54 in civil penalties against the Department of Energy?

The United States Department of Energy agreed on Tuesday to spend $73 million to improve the transportation and handling of nuclear waste stored in Carlsbad, where a leak exposed 17 employees to radiation in February 2014. The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, overseen by the Energy Department, has been closed since then. The agreement, forged with the New Mexico Energy Department, allows the plant to reopen. It also includes improvements to roads and infrastructure in and around Los Alamos National Laboratory, where a drum of plutonium waste erupted last year in an underground dump. The agreement relieves the federal agency from facing $54 million in civil penalties levied against it by the State of New Mexico.

Question: Who was sworn in on Tuesday?

SYDNEY, Australia — When Malcolm Turnbull was sworn in on Tuesday, he did not only become Australia’s 29th prime minister — he also became its fourth in just over two years. His three immediate predecessors were ousted by their own parties, including Tony Abbott, who was forced out Monday in a leadership challenge led by Mr. Turnbull. Now that Mr. Turnbull, a wealthy lawyer and former investment banker, has the country’s top job, his main challenge is clear, said Hugh White, an intelligence analyst who from 1985 to 1991 advised Prime Minister Bob Hawke and Defense Minister Kim Beazley.

Question: What agency keeps records of railroad accidents?

The train engineer applied the emergency brake, but the train did not come to a stop until almost 1,000 feet down the track, the car still pinned to its nose. Investigators’ findings on Thursday about track safety did little to illuminate the question of why a train-on-car collision put train passengers into such peril. Cars are struck by trains regularly across the country, according to Federal Railroad Administration records. Since 2006, there has been an average of 2,261 rail crossing accidents a year and an average of 273 deaths a year.

Question: What is being used to influence parents?

The department’s other decision was to abandon efforts to crack down on metzitzah b’peh, the ancient ritual of ultra-Orthodox Jews in which the circumciser, or mohel, sucks blood from a newly cut penis with his mouth. Public-health authorities, like the American Academy of Pediatrics, have long warned about the dangers of mohels infecting babies with the herpes virus, which can be deadly to infants. The city Health Department has linked metzitzah b’peh to more than a dozen infant herpes cases, and two deaths, since 2000. The Bloomberg administration tried to discourage the practice by requiring mohels to have parents sign a consent form acknowledging the risks. But mohels, citing religious freedom, refused to use the form. When Mr. de Blasio ran for office, he offered the politically powerful Orthodox community another approach. On Wednesday the Board of Health followed through: It voted to abandon consent forms in favor of education and friendly persuasion. It has a new brochure about the risks of metzitzah b’peh, to be given to pregnant women by clinics and hospitals. A small photo of herpes blisters helps parents recognize a symptom of infection.

Question: When did Attorney General Loretta Lynch make an announcement?

WASHINGTON — Attorney General Loretta E.

With a five-game winning streak, Washington (17-5-1) has caught up to the Rangers in the Metropolitan Division. Goalie Braden Holtby has won his last seven starts and leads the N.H.L. with a 1.95 goals-against average. Buffalo Sabres at Edmonton Oilers, Sunday, 8 p.m.

Question: Who invested in risky real estate projects?

Policy makers need to do more to shift the economy away from investment and toward consumer demand and services. The central bank’s decision to remove limits on deposit rates is a good step in that direction, because it should force banks to compete with one another to attract savers. Because they could not earn much by depositing money in banks, a lot of Chinese families invested in risky real estate projects or the inflated stock market. Now, they should have better options. Because it is the world’s second-biggest economy, China’s monetary and fiscal policies increasingly matter to the rest of the world. If the country’s growth slows sharply in the coming months, that could help to tip the already fragile global economy into another recession.

Question: What did he average?

In the N.C.A.A. tournament, Trice has averaged 19.8 points a game, an increase from a season average of 14.8 entering the tournament. The seventh-seeded Spartans will play Duke, the top seed from the South Region, in the national semifinals Saturday in Indianapolis. Asked to explain Trice’s jump in production, Izzo grinned and said, “The bigger the game, the more often you want the ball in Travis’s hands.” When his two free throws dropped with 10 seconds left Sunday for his 16th and 17th points, Trice allowed himself a small smile. But when the game ended, he collapsed to the floor. “That’s the first time I’ve ever seen Travis cry,” said Dawson, who has been his teammate for many seasons. Julie Trice said: “That wasn’t like him. But I was kind of happy to see it. I was saying, ‘Let it go, baby.’ ” As he lay on the court, Trice was absolutely still again.

Question: Which country is the richest and most populous country in Europe?

Europe is once again wary of Germany. This time, it is not an aggressive Germany that wants to expand its borders but an aggressively generous one that is opening its borders, recent controls notwithstanding. Two questions are frequently raised: Is Europe’s richest and most populous country still trying to ease its conscience 70 years after the war? And does its new “Willkommenskultur” have a mercantilist edge given a shrinking and aging population? One German broadsheet, The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, recently suggested that when Germany thinks about refugees, it really thinks about itself. Such talk does not bother Moussa Mohammad, a cardiologist and father of four from Dara’a, Syria, who received refugee status in Germany in February. “If Germany needs us, good,” he said. “Because we need Germany.”

Question: What is the purpose of the 5K?

A separate event, the Girls Prep Ultimate Pi Day 5K, a 3.14-mile run to raise funds for Girls Prep Schools, charter institutions in New York, is at 9:26:53 a.m. on Roosevelt Island, with a race for runners 9 and under at 10:30.

Question: What type of wizard was Kearse?

It made all the difference. Butler, a reserve cornerback and undrafted rookie who was understandably convinced he would be the goat after Kearse had played pinball wizard at his expense, turned out to be quite the contrary. This was not by chance. He recognized an opportunity and made it happen, correctly reading the pick play and slant route the Seahawks were counting on and beating Ricardo Lockette to the ball as he and Lockette collided. It was the first interception of Butler’s N.F.L. career.

Question: When and where did the narrator grow up?

After reading Michiko Kakutani’s review of Harper Lee’s novel “Go Set a Watchman,” I couldn’t help but feel a sense of worry and sadness about the Atticus Finch the book holds in its pages. As a native of Alabama, I had held up Atticus in my own mind as a redemptive figure, a symbol of hope, a hero who was brave enough to fight for what is right despite the poisonous and dangerous pools of racism long associated with whites in the Deep South. He was a symbol of the good that I desperately wanted to believe was around me as a child growing up in the late 1960s and ’70s near Birmingham. But the reality was often more complicated. When “To Kill a Mockingbird” was published in 1960, the South, and the United States, needed the heroic story of Atticus Finch. But over the past 50 years, we’ve witnessed struggle, strife and, most of all, unprecedented triumph.

Question: At what time was the game originally scheduled to start?

The rain led to a 21-minute delay from the scheduled start time of 1:10 p.m. Even after the Mets recorded the first three outs of the day, bringing about an early seventh-inning stretch, patrons were still trickling in, a mix of fans taking advantage of the opportunity to watch 11-plus innings of baseball and others anticipating the debut of Steven Matz in the second game. Saturday’s attendees were allowed to exchange their tickets for Sunday but were placed in different locations. The confusion even affected those not at the park: WPIX broadcast the end of Saturday’s game before SNY took over for the second game. Collins said his players’ routines would not change much, but the unorthodox circumstances befuddled him to a degree. He was not certain of the technicalities of the rule, but he said he planned to carry Matz as a 26th player because the team was playing an extra game on Sunday and therefore did not have to make a corresponding move to make room for him.

Question: What do these products allow borrowers to do?

These products allow borrowers to close on a short-term construction loan, which covers the building phase, and the longer-term permanent financing in one transaction. This all-in-one option is more convenient and less expensive than separate closings. But it is still unclear how lenders are supposed to handle the disclosure for these loans under the new regulations, as well as for stand-alone construction loans, according to Mr. Weinberg. “And whenever there are gray areas, lenders move away from the margins to make sure they don’t cause compliance violations,” Mr. Weinberg said. Lender nervousness might ease in coming months, however. After pressure from industry leaders, who warned that lenders weren’t ready for the massive change and that consumers might suffer, the bureau announced plans to postpone the implementation date to Oct. 1 from Aug. 1. The bureau’s director, Richard Cordray, also said that once the rules go into effect, he would allow for a good-faith enforcement grace period as lenders adjust. The new rules are intended to make the mortgage process more transparent for consumers, mainly by providing them with simpler forms and giving them more time to review final loan terms before closing. The nearly 1,900-page rules integrate the Truth in Lending and Real Estate Settlement Procedures Acts.
