Question: What is the score between Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee?

Jake Arrieta threw a three-hitter to become the first pitcher to reach 20 wins this season, as the Chicago Cubs closed in on a playoff berth by shutting out Milwaukee, 4-0. The Yankees won and the Mets lost, and both gained ground in their pursuit of division titles. Roundup. Scoreboard. Schedule. • Popular tunes. A judge ruled that the long-claimed copyright on “Happy Birthday to You” is invalid. If the ruling stands, the song would become part of the public domain. And The Weeknd’s “Beauty Behind the Madness” is spending a third week at No. 1 on Billboard’s album chart, as industry data for the first half of 2015 indicates streaming is surging while CD sales are plunging. BACK STORY On Sunday, a total lunar eclipse coincides with a “supermoon” — when the moon is closest to Earth — promising us some dramatic nighttime theater.

Answer: 4-0.

Question: Why did the "establishment" science disappoint Dr. Coggan?

Dr. Coggan had earlier grown disappointed with the “establishment” science in which, he says, academic research and corporate profit priorities are increasingly indistinguishable. He bootstrapped the research laboratory with his own money and now supports it with funding from a variety of private individual contributions and scientific research grants. NeuroLinx now supports a range of research projects, including an exploration of the way dolphins sleep, an effort to create a computer simulation of the ubiquitous lab worm C. elegans (known as the Open Worm project), and an exploration of nerve damage in diseases like multiple sclerosis. Dr. Ohayon had done early research in the field of autonomous agents based on neural networks, computing models inspired by biological nervous systems, but stopped for almost a decade because of worries about military applications of the technology.

Question: Where was Archibald Motley born?

★ Whitney Museum of American Art: ‘Archibald Motley: Jazz Age Modernist’ (through Jan. 17) Let’s take it as a good omen that the first solo show to appear in the Whitney’s new home is a career retrospective of a still understudied artist. Motley (1891-1981) was born in New Orleans and lived in Chicago, where he painted the cultural life of the city’s African-American neighborhood known as Bronzeville, portraying it with an eye for calibrations of class and race, and with a sense of his own conflicted position within its context. The show is modest in size but has features that many larger, sexier exhibitions lack: an affecting narrative, a distinctive atmosphere, and a complex and troubling political and moral tenor. 99 Gansevoort Street, at Washington Street, 212-570-3600, whitney.org.

Question: Who approved a warrant?

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

Question: Which justice concurred on similar grounds?

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. concurred on similar grounds. When one hears the term “tangible object,” he said, “a fish does not spring to mind — nor does an antelope, a colonial farmhouse, a hydrofoil or an oil derrick.” In dissent, Justice Elena Kagan wrote that the real issue in the case, Yates v. United States, No. 13-7451, was that the law is too harsh. It is, she wrote, “too broad and undifferentiated, with too-high maximum penalties, which give prosecutors too much leverage and sentencers too much discretion.” She added, “And I’d go further: In those ways,” the law “is unfortunately not an outlier, but an emblem of a deeper pathology in the federal criminal code.” Still, she said, “this court does not get to rewrite the law.” She said it was “broad but clear.” “A fish is, of course, a discrete thing that possesses physical form,” Justice Kagan wrote, citing as authority the Dr. Seuss classic “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.”

Question: In what building did the blood drive take place?

So it was that Mr. Heastie, the recently elected speaker of the New York State Assembly, was at a blood drive here in suburban Syracuse on Tuesday, gamely donating a pint in front of a group of somewhat perplexed phlebotomists and schedule-obsessed aides. And while donating blood — like politics itself — can make some people squeamish or faint, Mr. Heastie managed to give without passing out. “I’d rather by stabbed with a needle,” he said, “than pricked with a pin.” The stop at the Red Cross blood drive — held in the two-story lobby of Driver’s Village, a dealership north of Syracuse — was near the end of nearly a dozen stops that Mr. Heastie made at the start of a three-day visit upstate this week.

Question: How much weight did Alberto Youseff lose in prison?

“It’s hard to predict,” he said. “Statistically, when you have cases against the rich and powerful, things tend to end with pizza. We have no illusions. No aspirations to be superheroes. We are only a group of guys determined to do our best.” One person who will be celebrating before too long is Alberto Youssef. Stress and jail have turned his hair gray, slimmed him down by 40 pounds and landed him last year in the hospital with a heart attack. His wife divorced him and he is said to be destitute. His days as a nexus of cash and gifts are over. But Judge Moro determined that his assistance had been so helpful that he was given the minimum sentence allowed in his plea agreement. With the time he has already served, he will be free by the beginning of 2017.

Question: Where was his home?

“It seemed that going over poetry with her and singing songs with her was a tremendous way to interact with her,” he recalled. “When we did that, she acted decades younger than she was otherwise.” Convinced that poetry could be therapeutic, he asked the Sarah Neuman Center, the Westchester County campus of a sprawling nonprofit, Jewish Home Lifecare, based near his home in New Rochelle, to let him give readings, and the administration agreed. This year, he felt confident enough about his experience to write about it in The Journal of Poetry Therapy, in an article titled “A Poetry Program for the Very Elderly — Narrative Perspective on One Therapeutic Model.” In it, he argues that without intending to do so, he has developed a curriculum for others to follow.

Question: What does Dr. Hanak believe the state should also do?

Over the long term, Dr. Hanak believes, the state should not only encourage farmers to store water in the ground, but also consider creating a market to allow them to buy and sell their allotments. Megan Konar, an engineer at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, is among the experts eager to see California lead the world toward more sustainable methods. Recent research she did with a graduate student, Landon Marston, found that 18.5 percent of the American grain supply, an essential link in the food chain, is coming from parts of the country where the aquifers are being depleted. Other research suggests that overpumping of water is even more severe in parts of India and Africa, a long-term risk to the global food supply. As climate change forces farmers to grow crops in hotter conditions, water demand is only going to rise.

Question: What department counts about 20 boats in its fleet?

Indeed, the sight of smoke billowing from an industrial zone as water arches in from bobbing watercraft is an increasingly rare one for the Fire Department’s Marine Battalion, which counts about 20 boats in its fleet but more frequently responds to medical emergencies and boats in distress. This weekend’s fire, however, marked the second time in two weeks that fireboats rushed toward plumes of smoke from out-of-control fires on the banks of the city’s rivers. On Jan. 21, several New York City fireboats helped fight a fire in a New Jersey apartment complex in Edgewater, a community along the Hudson.

Question: Why are water needs different in the 21st century?

For most of the 1900s, the bureau’s system — which grew into the largest wholesale water utility in the country — worked. But the West of the 21st century is not the West of Roosevelt. There are now millions more people who want water, but there is far less of it. The science of climate change shows that in the future, there will be less still. “We have to think differently,” said Michael Connor, the deputy secretary of the Interior Department, which includes the Bureau of Reclamation. “It’s not enough just to conserve water. We need to rethink these projects. We have a lot of infrastructure, but a lot of it doesn’t work very well anymore. We need to undertake what amounts to a giant replumbing project across the West.” Mr. Connor said that in the future, the nation’s water agency would have to put climate change at the center of its mission.

Question: What sort of style or wit is often ?

Was Freud entirely wrong then about slips and mishearings? Of course not. He advanced fundamental considerations about wishes, fears, motives and conflicts not present in consciousness, or thrust out of consciousness, which could color slips of the tongue, mishearings or misreadings. But he was, perhaps, too insistent that misperceptions are wholly a result of unconscious motivation. Collecting mishearings over the past few years without any explicit selection or bias, I am forced to think that Freud underestimated the power of neural mechanisms, combined with the open and unpredictable nature of language, to sabotage meaning, to generate mishearings that are irrelevant both in terms of context and of subconscious motivation. And yet there is often a sort of style or wit — a “dash ”— in these instantaneous inventions; they reflect, to some extent, one’s own interests and experiences, and I rather enjoy them. Only in the realm of mishearing — at least, my mishearings — can a biography of cancer become a biography of Cantor (one of my favorite mathematicians), tarot cards turn into pteropods, a grocery bag into a poetry bag, all-or-noneness into oral numbness, a porch into a Porsche, and a mere mention of Christmas Eve a command to “Kiss my feet!”

The coach and the club have been dodging the wrong questions this week as the club was blasted out of the Champions League by a Spanish opponent for the second straight year. Tuesday’s victory was rendered Pyrrhic from the moment that the Barcelona front three sliced open Bayern’s defense twice in the first half, allowing the Catalan club to rest its important players for other contests to come. It was right for Guardiola and Munich’s chairman, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, to say that their team went out with dignity against “probably the best side in the world.”

Question: What did Americans find out about Ukrainians during training?

In the first two weeks of training, the Americans found the Ukrainians’ soldierly skills lacking, and the group generally in need of instruction. “I came into it expecting them not to know much of the basics,” said Sgt. Michael Faranda, who is teaching maneuvers. He was correct. Things “every soldier should know,” he said, they did not. Some even forgot their helmets on the first day of exercises. Still, Sergeant Faranda said, the Ukrainians’ willingness to go into combat was all the more notable for their lack of preparation for it.

Question: Kiku is obliged to leave Tokyo for what city?

For this rashness, he is obliged to leave Tokyo and go to Osaka on his own, to work with a new troupe. A year later, Otoku follows. In one of the film’s most moving scenes, she gives Kiku an elaborate dressing table and mirror, which barely fits into their tiny living quarters. And so Kiku’s artistic redemption begins, even as the couple’s material circumstances dwindle. While “Osaka Elegy” and “Sisters of the Gion,” the two Mizoguchi pictures of this period that have been most widely seen in the West, were relatively brisk features, “Chrysanthemum,” at nearly two and a half hours, shows the director working in an expansive mode, one that would flower even more fully with his postwar masterpieces such as “The Life of Oharu,” “Ugetsu” and “Sansho the Bailiff.”

Question: Who reported the new of the merger discussions?

Question: Who spilled a cup of coffee on themselves?

The displays, despite large cartoonish illustrations, require close reading, and many are accompanied by thought-provoking questions about the gray areas in liability. Still, this is Ralph Nader, and educational does not mean nonpolitical. Though the language is not shrill, a common element in the showcased disputes is what the museum’s labels describe as strenuous efforts by companies to deceive the public about risks. Pointedly included is the case that became a symbol to some of consumer overreach and trial lawyer greed: the 1992 suit by a 79-year-old woman who was badly burned in the groin and thighs when she spilled a cup of scalding McDonald’s coffee.

Question: What does Rohit Deshpande consider to be the worst consequence a catalog could have with consumers?

With “so much clutter and information overload,” said Rohit Deshpande, a professor of marketing at Harvard Business School, “just getting attention is the hardest thing to do right now for brands. It’s conceivable that trying catalogs again is a way to do it.” Mr. Deshpande said research showed that frequency helped consumers process marketing messages, but some studies suggested diminishing returns after three advertisements. “The issue has always been: What do we have to do in order to get mind-share and not bore people?” Mr. Deshpande said. “Or, worse, turn them off?”

Question: How many casino licenses projects were recommended last month?

At the meeting, Mr. Law noted that the board “never said” that two casinos in the Southern Tier-Finger Lakes region could not work. But he and the other members of the board emphasized that the new proposals had to be an improvement on the earlier projects. State legislation allows for up to four casino licenses outside of the New York City area. But in recommending only three projects for a license last month, the board warned about the possibility of cannibalizing an already crowded gambling market in the Northeast. The board could still decide not to award a license.

Question: Who were referred to as little green men?

The training aims to remold the Ukrainian units by increasing the responsibilities of noncommissioned officers, fixing a Soviet legacy of an officer-heavy infantry. Without sergeants paying attention, basic mistakes were being made, the trainers said. Capt. Nicholas Salimbene, an American trainer, noticed with alarm that the Ukrainians were carrying their rifles with the safeties off. “It’s about the professionalism of the force,” he said. “We want them to look like soldiers.” “You see reports about the little green men,” he said, referring to the Russian soldiers who invaded the Crimean Peninsula last year in unmarked uniforms, “and they all walk around professionally, and carry their weapons professionally.” The Ukrainians should, too, Captain Salimbene said. The United States is also providing advanced courses for military professionals known as forward observers — the ones who call in targets — to improve the accuracy of artillery fire, making it more lethal for the enemy and less so for civilians. Oleksandr I. Leshchenko, the deputy director for training in the National Guard, was somewhat skeptical about the value of the training, saying that “99 percent” of the men in the course had already been in combat.

Question: What may health insurance provide for people?

This argument for the cost savings from universal health coverage makes some intuitive sense, but it’s wrong. There’s strong evidence from a variety of sources that people who have health insurance spend more on medical care than people who don’t. It also turns out that almost all preventive health care costs more than it saves. Those facts don’t mean that giving people health insurance is a waste of money, since those dollars spent may improve their health and financial security. But there are only a few situations in which giving someone more health care will actually end up saving money.

Question: What did the jury think of Dolan's decision to fire Browne?

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: What business are these investors in?

A. Historically the principals of APF Properties — myself and Mr. Perl — co-invest with our investors. We have worked with institutional investors. We’ve also worked with a group of high-net-worth investors; many of them are in the real estate business. We have a pool right now of about 100 individuals. Q. Where would you like to see APF in the next several years?  A. Since the competition for buying properties is so fierce, we have a two-prong approach: One is to make what we got the best we could, and 1156 Avenue of the Americas is the perfect example. And we’re going to keep our eye open for new deals and new buildings, not only in New York. We’re going to keep our eye on Houston. We think that there will be opportunities there, and we like the market very much.

Question: What does yearning provide the rationale for?

There is yearning at the core of “A Cure for Suicide,” and in that yearning is the reason for carrying on when doing so feels impossible. Ball asks whether, given the chance to shed our pain and start over with the mind of a child, we would want to do so — to what extent pain informs identity, and what parts of us would remain were we to shed that pain. In the hands of a less skilled writer, these questions could be mistaken for science fiction cliché, a riff on “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” but Ball deftly explores questions with the eye of a poet and the logic of a philosopher, revealing new facets with perfect timing and acuity. At each unforeseeable turn, “A Cure for Suicide” is a story Ball ensures we understand and, because it is subtle and breathtaking, we are happy to be told.

Question: What suprise did Mr. Putin announce two years ago?

He even gave a few hints of his closely guarded family life, talking proudly of his two adult daughters, who he said were living in Russia and “taking the first steps of their careers.” Mr. Putin likes to throw in a few surprises on these occasions, as he did two years ago by announcing the release of an imprisoned oil tycoon, Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky. This year, he rose to the defense of Sepp Blatter, the embattled president of soccer’s world governing body, FIFA, who is under criminal investigation for corruption, saying Mr. Blatter should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. And he even inserted himself into the Republican presidential primary contest in the United States, speaking highly of Mr. Trump in remarks after the news conference ended.

Question: Where were a series of test shows held at?

But thematically, Mr. Slater said, he could understand why Mr. Lloyd Webber might relate to the material. “Everyone has gone through some period where they felt like they needed to break out of a category they had been put in and find their own voice,” he said. “That’s really what this show is about.” The composition of the musical (in which Alex Brightman plays the Dewey Finn character) happened quickly, between June and December of 2014. Auditions for its school-aged characters were held at the start of this year, and over the summer, a series of test shows were held at the Gramercy Theater, a sticky-floored rock club in Midtown Manhattan. Plans for a Broadway transfer were already in place — an unusually aggressive trajectory for a musical that never had an out-of-town tryout.

Question: who has the final word on the deal?

There was no immediate reaction from Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, or from his office. The ayatollah, who has the final word on the deal, has often stated that he trusts Iran’s negotiators to make decisions, but warned them not to cross “red lines.” Many in Iran have spent the past week following the news, but also expressing doubt that there would ever be a solution. The sanctions have cut deeply into the lives of ordinary people, contributing to an inflation rate that has exceeded 40 percent, slashing buying power and generally casting a blanket of depression over the nation of 70 million. As the idea of a future without sanctions started to sink in, some became emotional.

There was no immediate reaction from <hl> Ayatollah Ali Khamenei <hl>, Iran’s supreme leader, or from his office. The ayatollah, who has the final word on the deal, has often stated that he trusts Iran’s negotiators to make decisions, but warned them not to cross “red lines.” Many in Iran have spent the past week following the news, but also expressing doubt that there would ever be a solution.

Question: What sport did the author participate in?

To the Sports Editor: Re “Balancing Body Image With Ambition,” July 11: As a female athlete training on the United States rowing team, I was deeply disappointed and frustrated by this article. The opinions and comments from arguably the world’s most prominent female athletes incited second-hand embarrassment for those women. The word “feminine” was used by some of these athletes to describe the way they want to be perceived by the public. That word has a fluid definition, but it was clear that for these women, their definition of feminine is based on body image, and it can be inferred that the body type they desire is lacking in strength or substance.

Question: Did Mr. Bush succeed in convincing Latino voters he had something better to offer them?

In less than 15 minutes, Mr. Bush managed to step on his message, to give Mr. Trump a boost and to offend Asian-Americans, a growing population that is every bit as important as Latinos in winning presidential elections. And he failed to give Latino voters any persuasive evidence that he had anything better to offer them than his opponents in a revoltingly xenophobic Republican campaign. It may be time to offer this forlorn candidate some free advice. Although if he really is the smarter Bush, he knows these things already:

Question: How much were the Turks paid for each passport?

Nine of the Turkish citizens arrested in Shanghai had come to China to hand over their passports to traffickers who were trying to smuggle out the Uighurs, Global Times reported, adding that the Turks were paid $2,000 a passport. Each of the Uighurs had paid the traffickers 60,000 renminbi, or about $9,700, for a passport, according to the report. It said the Uighurs were trying to leave China on flights from Shanghai Pudong International Airport. The report identified the main two traffickers as Lamazan, a Turkish citizen, and Dawuti, a Chinese citizen living in Turkey. Dawuti is a Mandarin Chinese transliteration of a Uighur name. The report said Dawuti was a native of Kashgar, a Silk Road oasis city in the Uighur heartland near the border with Pakistan. The two men had a Turkish citizen, identified as Kaluke, alter the passports, the report said.

Question: Where is Reza Fakhari from?

The other current has been the neo-Westernizer, which re-exerted itself strongly during the Mikhail Gorbachev years and gave rise to his world-transforming ideas and ideals. In contrast to the neo-Slavophile current that is anti-Western, this liberal rival outlook actually seeks integration with the West, which Mr. Gorbachev assiduously pursued during his tenure. Unimagined opportunities for cooperation to fashion a more peaceful world may have been possible if Mr. Gorbachev had been able to continue his revolution. Unfortunately, given the popularity of the neo-Slavophile current in today’s Russia, the world is facing a new Cold War. Reza Fakhari, Brooklyn, N.Y.

Question: What type of person was Ms. Goldberg hoping to buy the house?

As for pricing the house, Ms. Goldberg said the loftlike open spaces, abundant light, pair of parking spots and capacious elevator all contribute to its appeal. “There’s nothing else like it,” she said. “Between its size and airiness, the extravagance of the renovation and the beauty of the garden seen through the two window walls, it is truly a serenely special home and art studio. It would be wonderful if another artist bought it. Of course, the garden lot could also be sold separately, but that would be tragic.”

Question: What was Mr. Drobny's connection to Mr. Rodham?

Even more important, according to Mr. Rodham, was what he said was going to be Mr. Clinton’s help on his Haiti rebuilding project. That project came about when Sheldon Drobny, an old friend, contacted Mr. Rodham about making a connection for a Chicago-area contractor, who wanted to become involved in building houses in Haiti. “We were trying to help. Period,” Mr. Drobny, a co-founder of Air America Radio, the former liberal talk network, said in a phone interview. He called the effort “humanitarian.”

Question: How long did Ellen Langer study mindfulness without meditation?

After spending the past four decades studying mindfulness without meditation, the Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer has identified plenty of other techniques for raising our conscious awareness of the present. For example, it turns out that you can become more mindful by thinking in conditionals instead of absolutes. In one experiment, when people made a mistake with a pencil, they had one of several different objects, like a rubber band, sitting on the table. When they were told, “This is a rubber band,” only 3 percent realized it could also be used as an eraser. When they had been told “This could be a rubber band,” 40 percent figured out that it could erase their mistake.

Question: How old was Dmitri?

Ukrainians greeted the news with much the same skepticism as the experts, though mingled with relief. “We had a cease-fire before, but it was not observed, almost from the beginning, so how can we have much faith?” said Dmitri Kolesnik, 18, a student in Kharkiv, a city in southeastern Ukraine that has been touched sporadically by violence. He paused on the steps leading down to a subway station, and said he put the odds of peace at no better than 50-50. “Putin is a very aggressive person,” Mr. Kolesnik said, as bustling throngs made their way home in the late afternoon. “You cannot always trust that just because he says something that it will happen.”

Question: Sometimes Marcelo does a double, what does that mean to him?

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.

Answer: Twenty-four hours

Twenty-four hours if you take a double.

Question: Which industry, ironically produced economic and environmental improvements?

You would never know that in many parts of the world, like the United States, the rivers and skies are getting cleaner. The race for riches, ironically, produces the wealth that can be used to clean the environment. A few years ago, a team of researchers led by Daniel Esty of Yale looked at the environmental health of 150 countries. The nations with higher income per capita had better environmental ratings. As countries get richer they invest to tackle environmental problems that directly kill human beings (though they don’t necessarily tackle problems that despoil the natural commons). You would never suspect, from this encyclical, that over the last decade, one of the most castigated industries has, ironically, produced some of the most important economic and environmental gains. I’m talking of course about fracking.

Question: how old i Ms. booth ?

Mary Morris Gamble Booth, class of ’50, traveled to Paris with Sweet Briar’s first junior-year program, which drew students of both sexes from across the country, including, that year, 15 Yale men. It was 1948 when they set sail, and Ms. Booth recounted how one of the Yale men kept trying to sneak up to the first-class deck from third class. “He was wearing white bucks and the British crew did not approve of white buck shoes, so he gave himself away,” she recalled. She said she was not quite paying attention when Secretary of State George Marshall articulated his Marshall Plan at Reid Hall, Sweet Briar’s Left Bank headquarters. Nevertheless, she ended up working for the program in Washington. “This year, I’m chairman of our 65th reunion,” Ms. Booth, 87, said sadly. “When they asked me last year, I said: ‘Sure, how hard can that be? Last year I think four people showed up for their 65th.’ Of course, this year is going to be a mob scene. It’s sort of an alpha and omega. Our reunion, and the last graduation.”
