Question: Who wrote he movie  School of Rock?

“If he hears about a hot show, he’ll be there,” said Alastair, 23, a junior A&R manager at that label. At his father’s age, Alastair said, “you would think most people have sat back, drinking tea somewhere. But he’s out there, trying to find the next thing.” Alastair said that as a child, his father turned him on to bands like the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and the Clash, as well as composers like Prokofiev and Shostakovich. The movie “School of Rock,” written by Mike White and directed by Richard Linklater, was also played frequently in the Lloyd Webber household, with Alastair estimating that he has watched it “about 40 times.”

Question: How long was Lundqvist out last season?

Carey Price missed nine games earlier this season, but during his third game back, Wednesday against the Rangers, he aggravated the injury. He is expected to miss six weeks, putting the spotlight back on Mike Condon. A native of Needham, Mass., who played college hockey at Princeton, Condon started his journey to the Canadiens by trying out for an E.C.H.L. team during his spring break in 2013. After spending the past two seasons in the minor leagues, Condon beat out Dustin Tokarski in training camp for the backup job. Condon is 8-2-3 with a 2.19 goals-against and .916 save percentage, including a 5-2-2 record during Price’s previous absence. He may be this season’s Cam Talbot, the Rangers’ late-blooming backup who held down the fort last season when Henrik Lundqvist missed almost two months.

Question: What other film did Mr. Emmerich direct?

So who gets to tell the story of Stonewall? It’s a nuanced and powerful question, 46 years after the riots — which lasted several days — became part of a broader push for gay and transgender rights. Mr. Emmerich, known for directing big-budget fare like “Independence Day,” and Mr. Baitz, the playwright and screenwriter, continue to stand by the trailer, created by the London-based Picture Production Company, and the film. “What can I say? I put all I know as a filmmaker into this film,” said Mr. Emmerich, 59. Describing it as a coming-of-age story, he said he was proud of the film, adding: “No studio wanted to finance it. If people want to boycott a movie because of its trailer, what kind of country do we live in?” He continued: “I always say I hope this is the first of many Stonewall films. The trailer is very true to the film. It’s Danny’s story.”

Question: How did Mr. Obama commute sentences?

Working closely with two lawyers at the clinic, Ms. Francik prepared 182 pages of legal and personal material to support Mr. Norris’s clemency application. Her enthusiasm and confidence during their one face-to-face meeting at Morgantown, in November, along with phone calls and numerous letters, so encouraged Mr. Norris that he began sewing the leather bag he hoped to carry out of prison. His application was submitted in mid-February, joining thousands of others from inmates nationwide. They were evaluated by Department of Justice lawyers, who recommended top candidates for White House officials to cull. Mr. Obama reviewed data on each finalist, a White House spokesman said, before using his constitutional authority to commute their sentences. In the early afternoon of March 31, a White House lawyer called the clinic to say that Mr. Norris had become one of 22 people who would be getting letters of congratulations from Mr. Obama. Ms. Francik received a text and bolted from her class — Professional Responsibility — to join the phone call alerting Mr. Norris, who naturally was in Morgantown’s law library. He burst into tears.

Question: What two weapons was used to break down a door?

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: Who are in charge for the renewal project?

Inside the elevator bank model, a short video of Hofmann at work is worth watching. On audio, Mr. Silver presents his thinking on the mosaics. First, His studies for the mosaics led him away from easel painting and spurred larger, more ambitious works. This is visible in nine paintings (oil on paper on board) executed in preparation for a 50-foot-tall mural for a campanile in Chimbote, a port city in Peru, as part of a renewal project by the architect Josep Lluís Sert and the urban planner Paul Lester Wiener. Measuring as much as 8 by 4 feet, the studies depict tilting, implicitly Constructivist crosses in red, yellow and blue, so cheerful they seem almost blasphemous, and more open figurative-like improvisations that bring to mind David Smith’s welded sculptures.

Question: What was the increase in available jobs in terms of percent?

The stock market then drifted gradually lower after a classic good-news-is-bad-news moment. A government report released at midmorning showed that the number of available jobs jumped 8 percent in July to the highest level in 15 years. That added to evidence that hiring remained strong and might prompt Federal Reserve policy makers to raise interest rates at their next meeting later this month. By the close, the Dow Jones industrial average had swung more than 400 points from its peak of the day. The index surged a day earlier, logging its second-best day of the year.

Question: One of Ms. White's children goes to school where?

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: Who is the director of hospitality at the Plaza hotel?

“People don’t want to miss that part of the evening, and thus they’re learning to pace themselves,” said Maureen Farley, director of hospitality at the Plaza hotel in New York, which hosts approximately 60 weddings a year. Eighty percent of those events have after-parties, she said. “These parties are marathons, not sprints,” Ms. Farley said. “And if they consume too much at the wedding, they won’t make it to the next leg, which is where the D.J. and dancing take place.” The after-parties often start at 1:30 a.m. and can run til 4 a.m. What is being served is also helping to control the impulse to overindulge. A growing foodie culture in the millennial generation is putting emphasis on the quality of the meal, craft cocktails and other specialties, said Ms. Walton of the Bridal Bar.

<hl> “People don’t want to miss that part of the evening, and thus they’re learning to pace themselves,” said Maureen Farley , director of hospitality at the Plaza hotel in New York, which hosts approximately 60 weddings a year. <hl> Eighty percent of those events have after-parties, she said. “These parties are marathons, not sprints,” Ms. Farley said. “And if they consume too much at the wedding, they won’t make it to the next leg, which is where the D.J. and dancing take place.” The after-parties often start at 1:30 a.m. and can run til 4 a.m. What is being served is also helping to control the impulse to overindulge.

Question: Which famous ice cream brand with sustainable practices did Unilever promote?

“The sustainable living plan is much broader than the sustainable sourcing of agricultural materials,” Mr. Polman said. “It’s really using your business model to address big issues in society and make a positive contribution.” Mr. Polman says the sustainable living plan is profitable as well as ethical. The company claims that efficiency upgrades to Unilever factories have created savings of 400 million euros, or $430 million, since 2008. It is also aggressively marketing sustainable brands in the hope of increasing sales (including a paid post from Ben & Jerry’s on the website of The New York Times).

Question: How long has Araeen been an art-world legend?

Born in Pakistan in 1935 and a London resident since 1964, Rasheed Araeen has been an art-world legend since the 1980s, when he founded and edited Third Text, a journal that not only gave a voice to contemporary non-Western and nonwhite artists but also helped initiate an entire rethinking of 20th-century art history. Mr. Araeen also produced some of the most influential writing of the time (I still have his clips from 30 years ago) and organized shows like “The Other Story” in London, which laid the foundation for the concept that modernism, far from being a Western phenomenon, had happened all over the world, on different schedules.

Question: When did Tiziano issue a challenge

We were both imprisoned in China, on charges officials there later acknowledged to have been false, and we both shared, at the same time in the 1990s, the same cancer — non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma — and the same oncologist in New York. Now the wheel has turned, and the time has come to begin meeting the challenge Tiziano issued on that Florentine afternoon, after some familiar chatter among his guests: how far each of us had traveled, the wonders and miseries we’d chronicled, and the most fascinating, or cruel, dictators and rulers through whose realms we’d passed. It was a fine thing, Tiziano said, to have accumulated all those visas and passport stamps, all those exotic datelines, all those Saddam Hussein puppets and Little Red Books of Mao’s wisdom, all those richly seasoned tales of derring-do.

Question: What quarterback threw three touchdown passes against Mississippi?

MEMPHIS 37, MISSISSIPPI 24 Paxton Lynch threw for 384 yards and three touchdowns as host Memphis (6-0) stunned No. 13 Mississippi (5-2). Memphis has won 13 straight games dating to last season, which is the third-longest streak in the nation. It was the first win for the Tigers over a ranked opponent since 1996. IOWA 40, NORTHWESTERN 10 The reserve running back Akrum Wadley ran for 204 yards and tied a school record with four rushing touchdowns to carry No. 17 Iowa (7-0, 3-0 Big Ten) over No. 20 Northwestern (5-2, 1-2) in Evanston, Ill. When the Hawkeyes’ leading rusher, Jordan Canzeri, was sidelined in the first quarter with an ankle injury, Wadley took over.

Question: When did McConnel think the white house should push the Pacific Trade Agreement?

Mr. McConnell’s acknowledgment that Barack Obama is actually president might cheer some Democrats. But it doesn’t mean he intends to be too cooperative with Mr. Obama during the president’s final months in office. A die-hard protector of his state’s coal industry, Mr. McConnell immediately dismissed the new Paris climate change accord as nothing more than a “long-term planning document.” He told The Washington Post that the White House shouldn’t push the new Pacific trade pact until a lame-duck session next year — if at all — before the president leaves office.

Question: How will the prison population be decreased?

A growing number of state and federal officials from both parties are supporting measures to decrease the prison population by lightening punishments for some drug-related offenders, who according to federal data make up roughly half of the 1.5 million federal and state prisoners. The Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 eliminated the five-year minimum sentence for first-time possession of crack, and decreased higher mandatory punishments for dealing crack with a prior criminal record. The day after visiting the probation office, Mr. Norris met with a social services agent who briefed him on more than a dozen state assistance programs, including ones that offer free interview clothes and health exams at the Wellmobile, a clinic on wheels that drives around Maryland. Applying for food stamps meant his first attempt at a technology forbidden in prison: the Internet. “I feel like a 5-year-old trying to learn this stuff,” he said, poking hesitantly at a keyboard.

Question: Who is the chief executive of Eaton Vance?

Thomas E. Faust Jr. does not come across as an industry disrupter. He is the chief executive of Eaton Vance, a midsize fund company in Boston that has carved out a solid yet unspectacular niche as a provider of investment funds and advice. But since last November, when his company won regulatory approval for a new fund vehicle that seeks to marry the best features of active and passive investing, Mr. Faust has been arguing that the mutual fund industry — or stock-picking funds at least — must either embrace his model or die.

Question: What was Thomas' action to put emphasis on his statement, "I'm very innocent",

After the verdict, Dolan and Thomas made a show of suggesting that the jury was gullible and that they would appeal. “I’m very innocent,” Thomas said immediately afterward, tapping his chest for emphasis. “I will appeal.” He did not. During the trial, Dolan took puffed-chest pride in testifying that he had decided to fire Browne all on his own, without talking to his corporate counsel. “All decisions at the Garden I make on my own,” he said. Yes, well, that worked out, didn’t it? The jury found that Dolan’s decision constituted a retaliatory firing and violated federal law. Dolan’s people vowed that the boss positively, absolutely would appeal. He did not. But he did assure New Yorkers that “the normal operations of M.S.G. and the New York Knicks will continue unabated.”

Question: Which banks mostly control wall street?

All the large United States banks passed an annual regulatory test that aims to assess whether they can make it through a financial and economic calamity, the Federal Reserve said on Wednesday. But Bank of America, the nation’s second-largest bank by assets after JPMorgan Chase, passed only provisionally and could still fail later this year if it does not fix deficiencies that the Fed identified.

Question: What do they still need to do more of before Fells is healthy

Coughlin, who has visited Fells, said Fells had had three consecutive days of progress after responding well to the new combination of antibiotics. “I think these three straight days are really a wonderful sign, but there’s more tests to be done,” Coughlin said. “And again, the response to the antibiotic is critical.” Defensive tackle Jonathan Hankins said the players were heartened to speak directly to Fells and to see him on a big screen in the team’s auditorium. “It was good to talk to him and see how he’s doing,” Hankins said.

Question: What justice does he hope will be done?

Hussein Dawabsheh, a grandfather of the children who were burned in Duma, expressed hope that the perpetrators would be severely punished. “It won’t bring my family back,” he told Ynet, a Hebrew-language news site, “but I want the murderers to look little Ahmad in the eye and see what they have done to him, how they have killed his family.” A prominent Israeli lawyer, Zion Amir, said Thursday that he was representing one of the youths arrested this week.

Question: What did Shin Dong-Hyuk's lie about having to witness his mother and brother's execution lead to?

Shin Dong-hyuk, a prominent defector who shocked the world several years back with his disturbing tales of torture in North Korean gulags, confessed last month that parts of the personal history he had told the public were inaccurate. His dramatic story, which included being forced to watch the execution of his mother and brother, led to a lot of publicity and his role as a key witness for a United Nations inquiry into North Korean atrocities. He now says that instead of growing up in the notorious Camp 14, where most prisoners go to die, he spent most of his time in the less draconian Camp 18.

Question: Which country does not have the political will to bail out financial institutions?

Of course, the tricky part for China’s government will be picking the winners and losers. As was his approach in the United States, Mr. Paulson advocates saving certain institutions, calling it “an unpleasant necessity” and suggesting that inside China, unlike the United States, there is “the political will to bail out failing financial institutions.” Also unlike the United States, it is not clear that the public will ever fully know the depths of a bank’s problems. “Transparency in China too often means the government having all the information,” Mr. Paulson told me.

Question: What can you do if your house is so large that a new router can't cover it?

One caveat: If you use a slower Internet service like DSL, you can probably hold on to a router for longer than three years. A newer router can still be useful because of the improved wireless range, but you won’t experience a big difference in speeds. If your house is so large that a new router won’t be able to cover every inch with a great Wi-Fi signal, you could install a Wi-Fi extender, which enhances an existing Wi-Fi connection to increase coverage. Powerline networking, which converts a house’s electrical wiring into a wired Internet connection, is another option, but you’ll have to check if your home supports it. As for Mr. McConnell, the retired engineer eventually solved his Wi-Fi headache by setting up his devices to stay on the 5 GHz radio band. To get a Wi-Fi signal to his iPad in the bedroom, he also set up an extender. Now everything is smooth sailing, he said. “I’ve got my life back,” he said.

Question: How many workers were killed in the Massey Energy Company accident?

A federal judge on Tuesday refused to declare a mistrial in the case of Donald L. Blankenship, who was the chief executive of Massey Energy Company when 29 workers were killed in a company mine in 2010. Mr. Blankenship’s lawyer asked for the mistrial ruling after jurors finished their fifth full day of deliberations. But Judge Irene C. Berger of Federal District Court in Charleston said that she did not “have any reason to believe that they are deadlocked” and that extensive deliberations were not surprising after weeks of testimony. Mr. Blankenship is accused of securities fraud and of conspiring to violate mine safety regulations. Deliberations will resume on Monday.

Question: Who was the Secretary of State during this time?

Secretary of State John Kerry met with European ministers over the weekend to discuss harsher economic sanctions against Russia because of the conflict in Ukraine. While that meeting took place in London, Vitaly Mutko, Russia’s minister of sports, tourism and youth, gave one of his periodic reassurances that everything is on target for 2018. It is closer than we may think. “The eyes of the footballing world will be on St. Petersburg on Saturday 25 July,” read a FIFA reminder last week that the World Cup preliminary draw is just months away.

Question: What does Ms. Pierpont demonstrate her knowledge of in the story?

This is the first novel by Ms. Pierpont, a graduate of New York University’s creative writing program, and it shows a remarkably mature understanding of the delicate emotional balances in families — how feelings can flow back and forth like electricity in some kind of zero-sum game — and the subtle, irrational vicissitudes of people’s psyches. We follow first one character and then another as each tries to manage what has happened. It is an old story, a crumbling marriage, but Ms. Pierpont gives it fresh insights, making the particular unhappiness (and occasional happiness) of the Shanleys by turns poignant, funny and very sad.

Question: What town was the mass grave found near?

DOHUK, Iraq — Kurdish officials are investigating reports that a mass grave has been found near the town of Sinjar that holds the remains of more than 70 Yazidis, including older women, a Kurdish security official said Saturday. Kurdish and Yazidi fighters retook the town of Sinjar on Friday from the Islamic State, which had controlled it since August 2014. On Saturday, local officials told news agencies that Islamic State members had executed older Yazidi women, ages 40 to about 80, in and around the town, whom they did not want to keep as sex slaves. The Kurdish security official said that the allegations appeared plausible and that mass graves had been found in other areas that had been captured from the Islamic State. A Kurdish government team plans to excavate the site to try to confirm the suspicions. “For now, it seems credible,” said a Kurdish official who asked not to be named to discuss internal reports. However, he said, further investigation must wait for excavation of the site.

Question: What operation was this associated with?

Dr. García, 68, had immigrated to Miami at age 14 as part of Operation Pedro Pan, during which 14,000 unaccompanied minors were flown to the United States from Cuba.

Question: What gender predominates in Silicon Valley?

Asked whether the mostly male culture of Silicon Valley is likely to change, Mr. Sacca, one of Twitter’s major investors, said, “It’s changing, slowly. The numbers are really clear. Companies are almost entirely run by white guys. The boards are almost entirely white guys.” And yet, he said: “Look at the user base of Twitter.

Question: When was Emmett struck by a car?

In her pictures of her own family — like “Damaged Child,” with its implication of battering, and “Flour Paste,” in which Jessie’s legs resemble a burn victim’s — Mann punches the buttons of her viewers. Upon discovering that she has stage-managed a scene, some people feel cheated, as if their emotions have been trifled with. “I hope you can get past that,” she argues. “You learn something about yourself and your own fears. Everyone surely has all those fears that I have for my children.” Mann has been criticized for treating violence with an esthete’s dispassion, for bringing out the subtle texture of blood and bruises without offering a clear political statement along the way. The imagery of death fascinates her. A picture of Virginia with a black eye moved her for a long time because “you couldn’t tell if she was living or dead. It looked like one of those Victorian post-mortem photographs.” In 1987, Emmett was struck by a car and thrown 50 feet. Though he escaped critical injury, Mann saw the real thing as a warning not to pretend again. Still, “Immediate Family” includes a picture from 1989 that may be the most gruesome so far: a nude Virginia seeming to have hanged herself by a rope from a tree.
