Question: What two Asian countries did Mr. Hatz speak of?

While Mr. Hatz was referring to carbon dioxide regulations, and Volkswagen’s cheating scandal is centered on smog-forming pollutants, managing both kinds of emissions presents an interlocking puzzle for automakers. At times, Mr. Hatz could sound defeatist. “Perhaps we have just small Korean and Japanese cars in this country,” he said. “We have to be realistic.” And he was dismissive of the prospects for the big Detroit automakers. “I cannot see a way with their program that they can fulfill these regulations,” he said. “There’s no way.” At the time, California regulators, along with regulators in Washington, already had rules in place for emissions of nitrogen oxides and other smog-forming pollutants that were the toughest in the world, and California was also proposing to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from cars. While diesels have better fuel economy and, by extension, lower emissions of global warming gases, they have higher emissions of nitrogen oxides and other smog-forming pollutants that require special treatment systems. The company was plunged into an internal struggle about how to proceed. Wolfgang Bernhard, a former Daimler executive who ran the Volkswagen brand, had championed a technology-sharing agreement with Mercedes-Benz and BMW to jointly develop a system using urea, which neutralizes nitrogen oxides. Publicly, Mr. Hatz supported the technology, which Mercedes markets as Bluetec.

Question: What is Steven Spinola the president of?

“We’re going to support it, including the mansion tax,” said Steven Spinola, president of the real estate board. “We’re not happy about everything, but we think it will lead to building more affordable housing.” Mr. de Blasio has also been outspoken on another contentious affordable-housing issue — the need to strengthen rent regulations to preserve the city’s existing affordable-housing stock. His proposals still face a battle in Albany, which has been thrown into turmoil in recent months by the arrest on corruption-related charges of Sheldon Silver, a Democratic assemblyman and former speaker, and Dean G. Skelos, the Republican majority leader in the Senate. Both the 44-year-old 421-a housing program and the rent stabilization law, which governs rents for one million apartments in New York City, are set to expire on June 15.

Question: What is the name of the professional basketball team in Cleveland?

PHOENIX —  The eye was inexorably drawn to LeBron James during his return to the Cleveland Cavaliers’ lineup on Tuesday night.

Their team is now below .500, with a 19-20 record no one could have foreseen before the season began. James’s homecoming has clearly run aground.

Question: Who is the fire chief of Cisco?

Walter Fairbanks, fire chief in Cisco, about 100 miles west of Fort Worth, confirmed that there was one fatality when the tornado hit Saturday afternoon near the town. Authorities were going house to house to assess the damage, but that proved difficult amid the heavy rainfall, Judge Rex Fields of Eastland County said. “There is a considerable amount of damage,” Judge Fields, who also serves as the county’s emergency services coordinator, told The Associated Press. “Homes have been lost.” The extent of injuries or fatalities was not immediately clear there or in the town of Burkburnett, Tex., about 15 miles north of Wichita Falls, where a second tornado struck.

Question: Who attacked Planned Parenthood in Wednesday's debate?

But more importantly during Wednesday’s debate, Fiorina unleashed a scurrilous attack in her pitch to defund Planned Parenthood, saying of the attack videos released about the group: “I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes. Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says, ‘We have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.’ “ In fact, the footage of the fetus was “stock footage” that “was added to the video to dramatize its content,” according to PolitiFact, which rated Fiorina’s comments as “mostly false.” FactCheck.org also said: “We are aware of no video showing such a scene.” As Talking Points Memo’s Josh Marshall put it Friday: “Fiorina has a habit of simply making things up.”

Question: Do they need to stay in dropbox?

If you want to sling between computers files that you did not purchase in iTunes — like audio tracks ripped from your own CDs — using your Dropbox folder as a transfer station can work. However, to avoid seeing exclamation marks or other errors because of original files gone missing from the first iTunes library, drag copies of the tracks out of the iTunes window to the desktop Dropbox folder, or copy over duplicates from your iTunes Media folder to Dropbox. Once you get to your second computer and open your synced Dropbox folder there, import the tracks into that system’s iTunes’s library. You can delete them out of your Dropbox folder at that point, but if you leave them there, you can play and view many types of unrestricted files on a smartphone or tablet by opening and streaming them through the Dropbox mobile app.

Question: How many Americans have been killed by spice?

Although the use of spice has decreased in recent years, according to some surveys, the drug continues to be sold by street dealers, as well as openly on the Internet and at smoke shops and other retailers, as potpourri or incense with brand names like Scooby Snax and Black Diamond.

Intermittent reports from several states suggest that at least 1,000 Americans have died since 2009 after smoking spice. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not track national data for spice or other synthetic drugs, including those popularly known as bath salts or flakka.

Question: What sport is growing and evolving through quicker and stronger players?

Women’s hockey is a growing sport, evolving through quicker and stronger players who are finally being rewarded for their talents as paid professional athletes. But concussions have kept some of the best players away from the ice for extended periods as the sport struggles to combat an issue that football and men’s hockey have failed at times to properly address. The N.H.L. is facing litigation, with former players accusing the league of glorifying violence and ignoring the dangers of repeated head injuries. “The amount of players still getting concussions on the national level and college level, it’s too many,” said Pucci, whose sister’s hockey career was also ended by a concussion.

Question: What team did Lionel Messi practice with while he was injured?

The only must-see club match this weekend — other than Cambuur’s visit to mighty Ajax on Saturday, of course — is the season’s first Clásico: Barcelona at Real Madrid on Saturday (12:15 p.m., beIN). And the only story to pay attention to related to that is Lionel Messi’s health; Messi has been out for months with a knee injury, but he trained with Barcelona’s B team over the weekend — reportedly looking sharp — and may make his return in Madrid. That would surely spice up things a bit.

Question: What do the Knicks have a troubling history of?

The team had no such luck this time around. Then again, a top-five pick is a luxury for the Knicks, who have a troubling history of trading away picks in ill-advised deals. More recently, they have been hamstrung by salary-cap limitations — code for excessive spending. Still, they will have money to spend this summer after shedding the onerous contracts that belonged to Amar’e Stoudemire and Andrea Bargnani, among others. Mills projected that the team would be $28 million under the cap. He also said that free agency could affect the Knicks’ approach to the draft. “It’ll have a big impact,” he said. “We’ll look at what kind of guys are going to move in free agency and have our draft plans accordingly.”

Question: Who hit a three-run homer in Game 163?

When the Yankees play in their wild-card showdown on Tuesday, many will no doubt recall the team’s most famous one-game do-or-die affair, Game 163 in Boston in 1978, when Bucky Dent hit a three-run homer over the Green Monster to win the division title. But two years before Dent was born, the Yankees were involved in a similar make-or-break game. It came on the final day of the season and capped a pennant race with enough drama to rival that of 1978.

Question: What is the name of the game that is a circle version of the original game that children will play?

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

Question: Where did Bin Laden live during the 1990s?

He had run a Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan, and then helped to lead a terror cell in Nairobi, Kenya, Mr. Lewin said. Later, Mr. Fawwaz became “Bin Laden’s man in London,” pretending to live peacefully as a Saudi dissident but actually helping Al Qaeda “broadcast its message to the world,” Mr. Lewin told the jury. He said that, Mr. Fawwaz helped to publicize Bin Laden’s 1998 fatwa stating that Muslims should kill Americans anywhere in the world, and he vetted journalists who wanted to interview Bin Laden, who was living in the mountains of Afghanistan. “The defendant’s participation in Al Qaeda conspiracies to kill Americans and attack American buildings is simply overwhelming,” Mr. Lewin said. Mr. Fawwaz’s lawyer, Bobbi C. Sternheim, did not deny that her client knew Bin Laden and had often met with him, depicting them as fellow Saudi exiles seeking to end corruption in their country. “But what we emphatically dispute,” Ms. Sternheim said, “is the allegation that Khaled al-Fawwaz is a member of Al Qaeda, was in cahoots with members of Al Qaeda, to plan, to prosper and to in any way effect the heinous goals of Al Qaeda to commit violence.” She called her client an advocate of “peaceful reform.” The nearly simultaneous attacks on the embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, killed 224 people. The four men convicted each received sentences of life imprisonment. In 2010, Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani was convicted of one count of conspiracy after prosecutors said he had assisted in the attack in Dar es Salaam. Mr. Fawwaz’s trial is expected to last about five weeks, the judge, Lewis A. Kaplan of Federal District Court, has said. Mr. Fawwaz has pleaded not guilty to charges that include conspiracy to kill Americans, to destroy buildings and property of the United States, and to attack national defense utilities. Arrested in 1998 in Britain, Mr. Fawwaz was sent in 2012 to Manhattan to face trial after a long extradition fight. He originally had two co-defendants: one, Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, 50, who had liver cancer, died this month; the other, Adel Abdul Bary, has pleaded guilty.

Question: How many US military trained the Ukrainian in remedial military instructions?

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 the name of the new gaming winning tactic that Hector Bellerin created?

During that score, the referee never saw that the ball deflected from Giroud’s head onto his forearm, which possibly could have ruled out the goal. The assistant referee beside the post did play a role in the second score. After a shot by Mesut Ozil, Neuer tried to scoop the ball away from his goal, but the official correctly spotted that it had, in fact, crossed the goal line. So justice was served. Arsenal, using its rapid speed via Walcott, Alexis Sánchez and the adventurous young right back Héctor Bellerín, has found and honed a new winning tactic. It is called counterattacking, and it has been alien to Wenger’s philosophy over much of his two decades in London. You possibly could thank Wenger’s assistant, the former Arsenal defender Steve Bould, for the change.

Question: NXP used to be a division of what company?

Question: What forced Mattingly to retire prematurely?

Mattingly’s election to baseball’s Hall of Fame in this, his last year of eligibility, is probably not forthcoming (this year’s class of inductees will be announced Tuesday), a melancholy fact. But then, his playing days as a Yankee had something of a melancholy cast. He arrived for a cup of coffee in 1982, a year after the Yankees went to the World Series, and retired in 1995, a year before they returned. And in the last half of his career he was a diminished player, his skills attenuated by the persistent back problems that forced him to quit prematurely at 34, his spirit likely withered by the mortifying shenanigans of the Yankees’ principal owner, George Steinbrenner, and his minions (who once ordered Mattingly fined and benched for not getting a haircut), not to mention the ignominy of a last-place finish in 1990.

Question: How much in today's value the most expensive picture ever been sold cost?

One standard way to adjust historic art prices to account for inflation is to run them through the U.S. Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index inflation calculator. Using this method, the czar’s big 1914 price for the Leonardo — hailed by Gerald Reitlinger in his 1961 study, “The Economics of Taste,” as “the most expensive picture that has ever been sold” — is equal to $35.5 million today, which would buy a middling-quality Mark Rothko.

Question: What party is now leading the government in Athens?

Blockupy is a left-wing alliance of dozens of activist groups from across Europe. Its members include one of the largest German labor unions, the United Service Union, known as Ver.di, and Syriza, the left-wing, anti-austerity Greek political party that is now leading the government in Athens. The European Central Bank is one of Greece’s main creditors, and it is part of the so-called troika of international organizations that are supervising the Greek bailout program that the government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is trying to renegotiate. The central bank, along with the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund, is widely blamed for imposing austerity measures on countries that have needed bailouts.

Question: About how many visitors has the musuem had already?

Aficionados of lowbrow aesthetics are also heading to Glòries, thanks to the arresting Encants Barcelona, the new home for the area’s historic flea market — a ramped space, open on the sides, with slender columns supporting an angular reflective metal canopy. Since the market moved here in 2013, it’s been drawing 120,000 antiques- and junk-seekers a week to early morning auctions and the stalls that open directly after the last lot has sold. Ironically, the building housing the Barcelona Design Museum — a squat, zinc-clad structure with front and rear cantilevers — hasn’t exactly been celebrated for its exterior form. Some have taken to calling it “the Stapler.” The museum, which unites collections of Catalan decorative arts, graphics, ceramics, textiles and fashion that previously had been scattered throughout the city, was originally to be the building’s sole occupant. But in an effort to make use of its vast interior spaces — and lure people to what is still considered an off-the-beaten-path area — municipal leaders also moved the city’s major design organizations here and named the whole enterprise Design Hub Barcelona, or DHUB, hoping it truly would become a hotbed of design activity. Today, while design professionals show up for events in the building, museum-goers make their way through exhibits that sprawl on four floors, displaying everything from corsets to cruets. The museum, which charges a 5-euro ($5.35) general admission fee, has already drawn about 204,000 visitors. While its holdings may never achieve the popularity of the offerings at the flea market next door, the institution is already helping attract traffic — foot traffic — to the Glòries area. “In the future Glòries will be a place not for cars, but for people,” said Isabel Roig, executive director of Barcelona Design Center, a trade group and one of DHUB’s new tenants.

Question: Who is Heinrichs?

Heinrichs was the first female coach of the women’s national team and the first female player elected to the National Soccer Hall of Fame. She is convinced that American determination, fitness, hustle and competitiveness must be broadened with accelerated development of technical skill if the United States is to keep pace with teams like Germany, France and Japan, the defending World Cup champion. “We think players on an elite track that aspire to be women’s national team players one day should self-select and play up earlier,” Heinrichs said. “If more players and more club coaches saw the value in having their players in the most challenging environment that she could have on a daily basis, they would see how much faster she would grow.” Title IX, the federal law that prohibits discrimination based on gender, has been applied so effectively to sports over the past four decades that female soccer players in the United States have widespread access to their own leagues from a young age. While it is necessary for girls to have an environment in which they can feel comfortable and progress at their own rate, Heinrichs said, she sees an unintended consequence of Title IX: Fewer top-level girls seem to be honing their skills against boys today than when she and Hamm and Wambach developed into elite players. “It’s important because in Europe, they’re all playing up, and their 12- to 16-year-olds are playing against boys,” Heinrichs said. “We don’t have that anymore, for the most part.”

Question: How many girls are members in the western part of Washington State?

“Our development office has these clapper doodads, like you use on New Year’s Eve, and we clap them whenever we get a success,” the Girl Scouts’ area chief executive, Megan Ferland, recalled with a chuckle.

Question: The euro reached its lowest level against the dollar when it hit what amount?

The euro on Friday reached its lowest level against the dollar since June 7, 2010, when it hit $1.1923. The currency of the 19-nation eurozone has fallen nearly 14 percent since it climbed to $1.3910 on May 7. The last time the euro was so low, Greece’s debt problems were causing havoc in the eurozone and there was fear the common currency would not survive. Greece is again in turmoil, with coming elections likely to usher in a left-wing government, but is no longer the main cause of the euro’s decline. The concern now is that the eurozone is already stuck in the same kind of stagnation that has afflicted Japan for two decades. “History shows that falling prices can be as damaging to the prosperity and stability of our countries as high inflation,” Mr. Draghi told Handelsblatt.

Question: Who conducted the research study about the gaming community?

Some in the gaming community have proposed a shift in the meaning of gamer to be akin to cinephile, a person with a deep knowledge and appreciation of the whole medium. Others have argued that the definition should be broad and, in particular, reflect the wide array of people who play. “Marginalized groups have always engaged in gaming,” Kishonna Gray, director of the Critical Gaming Lab at Eastern Kentucky University, said in an email. “They just haven’t been acknowledged by gaming culture yet and they really aren’t catered to.” The Pew survey, which was conducted this summer among a sample of about 2,000 adults, found that young men play games far more than other groups, with 77 percent of 18- to 29-year-old men saying they play, and 57 percent of young women.

Question: How many sold out stadium shows where there?

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

Question: How many bedrooms did the house need to have?

The couple told their architect that they wanted a home that would blend in with its setting yet also incorporate key elements of modern design, such as underfloor heating throughout. “It also needed to have six bedrooms and a central Poggenpohl kitchen,” Mr. Hague said. “I wanted to be able to walk straight into the house at the first-floor level and not to be greeted by the sight of a staircase. Instead, I wanted to be greeted by the flames from a double-sided fireplace, which had been lined up exactly with the front door.”
