Question: How did the officers approach Mr. Hammond?

To Zachary Hammond’s supporters, the shooting death of the 19-year-old man was yet another example of questionable police behavior that has shaken communities around the country. In their view, the police in Seneca, S.C., falsely claimed Mr. Hammond was shot last month as he tried to drive his car over the officer who fired on him, when his wounds show he was actually shot from the side and back. They also say the deadly confrontation, in which officers approached with their guns drawn and screaming profanities, evolved from an absurd sting effort to trap his date into selling a tiny amount of marijuana, a drug now decriminalized in much of the country.

Question: What has a tight and inescapable link?

“It clearly states that salvation doesn’t come from the Jews’ conversion, but it’s very respectful of their own mission,” said Alberto Melloni, the director of a liberal Catholic research institution, the John XXIII Foundation for Religious Studies in Bologna. He called the message “a courageous and important written document of the Catholic Church.” Coming 50 years after the Vatican formally repudiated the idea of collective Jewish guilt for Jesus’ death, the document emphasized the tight and inescapable link between Christianity and Judaism. “A Christian can never be an anti-Semite, especially because of the Jewish roots of Christianity,” it stated. Cardinal Kurt Koch, the president of the Vatican Commission, said on Thursday that the church’s dialogue with Jews was not just interreligious, but “intrareligious, or intrafamiliar.” Jewish leaders praised the document and the way that Catholic-Jewish relations had progressed.

Question: What did Dawkins like to wear?

With a sculpted physique, inordinate strength and an unusually accurate jump shot for a man his size, Dawkins was expected to be a star in the league for years to come, drawing comparisons to Wilt Chamberlain. He was mischievous and flamboyant — he was known to wear an electric lime-green suit — and fond of rhyming and hyperbolic fantasy musings. (He invented the Planet Lovetron business when he was in high school.) But immature, not technically adept around the basket and resistant to the entreaties of his coaches, Gene Shue and later Billy Cunningham — “I was uncoachable,” he admitted years later — he began his career in the shadows of other N.B.A. big men like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bob Lanier and Wesley Unseld.

Question: Who gave Dr. Schatz the Distinguished Alumni Award?

In 2009, the Mayo Clinic recognized Dr. Schatz with a Distinguished Alumni Award. A nominating letter praised his courage because “criticizing an investigation which was overseen by some of the leading figures in the American Public Health Service was an action that was, to say the very least, potentially harmful to his career.” Irwin Jacob Schatz was born in St. Boniface, Manitoba, on Oct. 16, 1931, the son of Jacob Schatz and the former Reva Rechtman. His parents ran a kosher-style restaurant in Winnipeg. He earned undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Manitoba and a fellowship from the Mayo Clinic. Besides his wife, the former Barbara Jane Binder, his survivors include his sons, Jacob, Edward, Stephen and Brian, who is a United States senator from Hawaii; nine grandchildren; and a sister, Bea Berger.

Question: What team currently has Ethan Werek under contract to play for them?

Lindberg already has. The Rangers obtained him from Arizona in an all-but-overlooked May 2011 trade for center Ethan Werek, their second-round draft choice two years earlier. Werek played three seasons in the American Hockey League and is now under contract to play for the Florida Everblades of the ECHL. Lindberg played two more seasons for Skelleftea AIK in the Swedish Hockey League and then joined the Rangers’ Hartford farm club in 2013, scoring 46 goals in 150 regular-season games but never quite reaching his potential. Wearing No. 48, he played one regular-season game for the Rangers last season, when Rick Nash sat out because of back spasms.

Question: Approximately how much will the budget cuts be?

As laid out in the Conservative manifesto, the cuts would be deep outside certain protected areas like the National Health Service, and might be about 30 billion pounds, or about $49 billion. Mr. Osborne is driven by a Thatcherite belief in the value of a smaller state to free up individual and corporate enterprise and encourage those able to work to do so, and such cuts could create political tensions, and even unrest, in the country. Mr. Osborne is respected, but his economic theology is not shared by every Tory, which could also lead to defections and close votes. Mr. Cameron has never been very popular with some of his backbenchers. They are sure to be shocked and overjoyed at the victory he brought them, as they feared Labour would manage, with the Scots, to create a majority to throw the Tories out of power. Even the most optimistic Conservatives were talking about winning 300 seats, which pollsters thought was hallucinatory.

Question: Where did Leive get contributions to her magazine from?

A. I loved reading and writing, and I had what I guess you would describe as a “magazine brain” from Day 1. When I was 8, I decided to publish a literary magazine, and I would solicit contributions from all the kids on my street. They were a little less interested in the project than I was, so I ended up having to fill most of the magazine myself. Tell me about your parents. I was lucky to have two great mother figures in my life. My mom was a biochemist — she was one of just a few women in leadership roles at the National Institutes of Health — and really loved her work. She would come home and be talking about lipopolysaccharides and cell membranes at the dinner table. What I took away from that was that it’s an amazing gift to have a job that you love. I also have an incredible stepmother who gave up her career to move to the United States to marry my dad, and I saw in her a woman who was completely happy and fulfilled in her life and not working full time outside the home. That made me more open-minded about all the different choices you can make in your life. So the whole “mommy wars” thing really sets my teeth on edge. Were there any expressions they would repeat often around the dinner table?

Question: who was one of the Mr. collingsworth targets ?

Over the past decade, companies doing business in Colombia, like Chiquita Brands and Dole Food, have incurred the wrath of Terrence Collingsworth, a lawyer who has accused them of mistreating workers or conspiring to kill labor activists. But these days, Mr. Collingsworth is on the defensive. One of his targets, Drummond, a coal producer based in Birmingham, Ala., recently asked a federal judge to hold the lawyer in contempt as part of a libel suit it is pressing against him. Chiquita and Dole, pointing to the Drummond case, have also raised questions about his practices. The problems engulfing Mr. Collingsworth underscore the mounting difficulties facing a small group of plaintiffs’ lawyers who have carved out a niche suing multinational corporations on charges that they violated human rights overseas.

Question: What building recently reopened as the American embassy?

In June, Cardinal Ortega incensed members of the opposition when he suggested in a radio interview that he had no knowledge of political prisoners in Cuba. A month later, he became the focus of an awkward standoff after he refused to accept a list of political prisoners presented to him by two dissidents during a reception at the United States Interests Section (the building soon reopened this summer as the American embassy when diplomatic relations with Cuba were restored). The dissidents loudly began to berate the cardinal, who threatened to call security. “The line that you have to walk to have a voice in calling out injustices that the government commits, and on the other side mediating and looking for space for dialogue, that line is a tightrope, very difficult to walk,” said Carlos Saladrigas, a Cuban businessman who grew up in Miami and has close ties to the church.

Question: What series is the performance part of?

Peace, love and respect are excellent values for a theatrical production to promote, especially one directed at children. But it takes more than good intentions to make a good show, and Illstyle and Peace Productions’ “IMpossible IZZpossible,” which played over the weekend at BAM Fisher as part of the BAM Kids series, is an incoherent jumble. After the performance on Saturday afternoon, Brandon Albright, the Philadelphia-based company’s affable founder, director and choreographer, explained that the production was about the difficult process of achieving your dreams. Yet the show, a disconnected suite of mediocre hip-hop routines riddled with baffling elements, seemed less about that process than still involved in it, and at an early, inchoate stage. The chief distinction of the choreography lies in its effort to mix hip-hop styles with steps from tap, ballet and West African dance. Considering the cultural connections between hip-hop and African dance, it’s not surprising that they would blend well, but hybrids are often ungainly, and it’s a relief to see one as smooth as this. Alas, the awkwardness averted there crops up just about everywhere else.

Question: What seed was Providence?

COLUMBUS, Ohio —  To earn a spot in the main portion of the N.C.A.A. tournament, Dayton slipped by Boise State this week in a play-in contest that was a virtual home game for the Flyers.

His last memorable public performance was an open-air Valentine’s Day concert in Istanbul in February. He got out of his sickbed to sing with his wife, Ipek Acar, and Nilufer. Besides his wife, Kayahan’s survivors include two daughters, Beste and Asli Gonul. “We are in grief over losing Kayahan, who contributed to Turkish music with countless compositions and marked a generation with his songs,” Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Twitter.

Question: What did the research lead to believe about chimpanzees?

An article on Wednesday about research suggesting that chimpanzees have the cognitive ability to cook misstated, at one point, the surname of the Harvard anthropologist who hypothesized that cooking has driven changes in human evolution. As the article correctly noted elsewhere, he is Richard Wrangham, not Wrangell. BUSINESS DAY An article on Tuesday about a decision by the airbag manufacturer Takata to continue using a chemical compound deemed dangerous by experts misstated the point at which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began receiving complaints about rupturing Takata airbags. It was in 2001, not “almost 15 years ago.” The error was repeated in articles on Sept. 15, 2014, and on May 20, which referred to the complaints as having started in 2000, rather than 2001. • An article on May 23 about the environmental threat posed by plastic microbeads used as exfoliating agents in personal care products misstated the source of PHA, a naturally occurring plastic that one company is developing as a biodegradable substitute. It is produced by bacteria, not by mushrooms. SPORTS

Question: What event called the link between the sports?

Home-field advantage in the World Series has been tied to the outcome of the All-Star Game since 2003. Complain all you want, but nothing is likely to change. The new commissioner, Rob Manfred, is emphatically in favor of keeping the link between the sport’s so-called jewel events. Maybe the answer is not to eliminate the link, but for those in uniform to take the game more seriously. The managers could strategize a little more. The hitters could work deeper counts. The pitchers could avoid any semblance of sentimentality; who can forget Adam Wainwright giving the retiring Derek Jeter a good pitch to hit last summer? Even so, compared with the N.F.L., N.B.A. and N.H.L. frolics, this All-Star event most closely resembles the competition in an actual game. The scores are familiar, and while Major League Baseball cannot help using silly caps — this year’s have horizontal stripes across the front — at least the players still wear their regular uniforms for the game.

Question: Which company's stock is worth more, Barnes & Noble or Netflix?

Investors were also comforted by comments from China’s No. 2 leader, who tried to ease concerns about its economic slowdown. Premier Li Keqiang said the nation’s growth was in the “proper range” and Beijing had no plans to allow its currency to decline further after a surprise devaluation on Aug. 11. Among individual stock movers on Wednesday, Barnes & Noble was a big loser. The book retailer’s stock sank $4.50, or 28 percent, to $11.80 after the troubled bookseller reported a wider first-quarter loss as sales of its Nook e-reader and digital books fell sharply. Netflix was the biggest gainer in the S.&P. 500 index. The video streaming company snapped a seven-day losing streak, gaining $4.23, or 4.5 percent, to $99.18 after the company said it would bring its service to four more Asian countries next year. In Europe, France’s CAC 40 advanced 1.4 percent. Germany’s DAX rose 0.3 percent. Britain’s FTSE 100 rose 1.4 percent.

Question: Which Catholic magazine published Hannah Arendt essays and W.H. Audren's poetry?

In our neighborhood, we were the small family, at least among the Irish and Italians. A few doors down, there were 12 kids in one house, 14 in another. We could almost field a full baseball team. But the Flynns, they could put an entire football lineup on a snowy field at Thanksgiving, with reserves. My mother agonized over what to do. She was devout, though starting to read progressive Catholic magazines like Commonweal, which published the essays of Hannah Arendt and the poetry of W.H. Auden. We loved Robert F. Kennedy’s family: 11 kids, and Ethel looks great. Bobby himself was the seventh of nine. Of course, they had money, so it looked glamorous.

Question: Wat group have APF worked with?

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 Elikena Fieilo do for work now?

“I don’t know of other incidents like this, which is why it’s so shocking,” said H. G. Bissinger, the author of “Friday Night Lights,” which chronicled the Permian Panthers in Odessa, Tex. “I think it’s part and parcel of the intensity, the fanaticism and the craziness of what sports has become in this country.” The incident resurrected memories of a 2008 playoff game in which a linebacker for Trinity High School in Euless, in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, ran over a referee on the second-to-last play of the game. The linebacker, Elikena Fieilo, who is now a Euless police officer, told The Fort Worth Star-Telegram last week that his intentional hit had resulted in disciplinary action and the loss of several Division I scholarship offers. “It was a terrible, horrible decision I made,” Mr. Fieilo, who went on to become a scholarship player for Sam Houston State University, told the newspaper.

Question: Has the number of Swedes in favor of a ban on the sale of sex increase or decreased?

The law is forcing women who sell sex into more dangerous situations, it said, arguing that transactions have become faster and more furtive because men are afraid of the police, leading women to jump into cars without first checking if the driver is drunk, high or otherwise threatening. And the number of Swedes in favor of a ban on the sale of sex as well as its purchase appears to have grown. The Swedish Association for Sexuality Education — known by its Swedish initials, R.F.S.U. — said the results of the research review raised questions about the law’s effectiveness, as well as its impact on prostitutes and on women like Daniella seeking to leave prostitution. The group said in February that it was “far from obvious that the legislation had had the intended effect.” It said the law had increased stigma and discrimination, putting women who sell sex “in an even more precarious position,” and should be changed to better protect their rights. Kristina Ljungros, the group’s president, said she opposed legalizing the purchase of sex, as Germany and the Netherlands have done. Instead, she said, her group wants to open a discussion about what it considers the unintended consequences of Sweden’s law. “Some people selling sex report that it is very hard to find a social service that will help women unless they stop selling sex,” Ms. Ljungros said. “I think we need more of a harm reduction perspective that would protect people selling sex and their rights in a better way.”

Question: What was the name of the American trainer

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 do fairies use to replace babies placed in a crib?

In folklore, the figure of the changeling often involves an enchanted piece of wood placed in a crib by fairies that a parent finds instead of her baby. The wood might become ill and die, or the fairies might skip the wood altogether and leave a fairy-baby instead, carting the little human off for other purposes. Either way, there’s a particular kind of terror inherent in the situation: to look in a crib expecting to see one’s cooing infant and instead find something inert and unknown. Maurice Sendak’s picture book “Outside Over There” captures the horror with a rich gorgeousness, where the replacement baby is made of ice, and glows milky and terrifying and odd on the page.

Question: Alberto Youseff suffered which potentially fatal ailment while incarcerated?

“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: What team did St. John's beat?

St. John’s did what it had not been doing most of the season — shoot well and control the boards — and the Red Storm delighted the Madison Square Garden crowd in beating Syracuse, 84-72. The matchup on Sunday was the programs’ first since Jan. 19, 1977, in which Jim Boeheim was not coaching the Orange, a span of 63 games. This was the third game of his nine-game N.C.A.A. ban. The freshman Federico Mussini had 17 points, and four other players scored in double figures for the Red Storm (7-3), who won their third straight. The Orange had won nine of the previous 10 meetings; they lead the series by 51-39. St. John’s had not beaten Syracuse at the Garden since 2007. “This was the best win of my life in the world’s most famous arena,” Mussini said. “Nothing better than this.” Michael Gbinije’s 21 points led Syracuse (7-3), which has lost three of four. The Red Storm shot 30 of 61, including 12 of 24 from 3-point range, well above their season averages. Syracuse shot 5 of 26 from beyond the arc.

Question: What Christmas-themed movie stars Diane Keaton, John Goodman, and Marisa Tomei?

‘Love the Coopers’ (PG-13, 1:47) You can’t manufacture a Christmas classic by cobbling together scenes and themes from previous Christmas classics, but this dud tries. It’s the usual story of a dysfunctional family that gathers for a holiday meal, and it’s full of recognizable names — Diane Keaton, John Goodman, Marisa Tomei, Olivia Wilde — but it almost never feels genuine. (Genzlinger) ‘Macbeth’ (R, 1:52) The best reason to see this slick version of the sanguineous tragedy is Michael Fassbender’s exceptionally fine title performances, though the writing isn’t bad, either. A mushy-mouthed Marion Cotillard co-stars; Justin Kurzel directed. (Dargis)

Question: How many games has Towns played in his career so far by Mitchell's estimation?

If Karl-Anthony Towns has enormous potential, at least one person has no interest in discussing it. On Thursday, ahead of the team’s loss to the Denver Nuggets on Friday, Mitchell was asked what was next for Towns in his development. Mitchell did not appreciate the question. “Guys,” he said, “the next thing in his development is Denver. I mean, he’s played 20 games, guys, and you want to — his next development? You think he’s learned how to play in the N.B.A. after 20 games? It’s 20 games into his first year.” Mitchell added: “You get better during the off-season. You don’t get better during the season. So there is no next development.”

Question: What does criticism cause?

But this is common behavior and awfully human. Criticizing others can trick us into feeling better about ourselves (for 35 seconds). My guess is that your pal is in emotional pain, and you probably have a better idea why than we do. None of this is your problem, Hailey. But isn’t it worth taking a crack at helping your longtime bestie? The next time she starts Judge Judy-ing, stop her. Say, “Take a breath.” Make her inhale and exhale. Then say (gently), “Is Heather’s boyfriend really bothering you this much, or is something else making you feel bad?” Then listen. She may surprise you and discuss her true feelings, or she may get defensive. Even if she engages, you will probably have to remind her about this pattern a few times. But only when we learn compassion for ourselves (especially the ugly bits) do we have any hope of feeling better. Maybe you can help. Otherwise, time to move. I am 83 and dating a lovely 85-year-old man I met six months ago through his personal ad in The New York Review of Books. We really like each other. But we disagree about money. I am used to being treated on dates. He believes that men and women are equal, and we should pay our own way. (I believe that I should, and do, provide some meals.) How should I proceed? CLAIRE, MANHATTAN Two successful and intelligent women — half your age — agreed, in front of me, recently: “If a guy doesn’t pay for the first date, I would never go on a second.” They reported wanting an “alpha male.” (I was shocked!) But I like my independence and equal status. I would rather pay my own way if I were a woman. Who wants to be a “beta”?

Question: What was the House committee recommendation for Courser and Gamrat?

Mr. Courser, 43, of Lapeer in the Thumb region of Michigan, admitted sending an “outlandish” phony email to Republican activists and others in May claiming he had been caught with a male prostitute. The email was intended to make his affair with Ms. Gamrat, 42, appear less believable if it was exposed by an anonymous blackmailer who Mr. Courser said had demanded his resignation. On Thursday, a special House committee recommended the expulsion of both the first-year Tea Party lawmakers, who had based legislation on their Christian beliefs and had clashed with Republican leadership even before the controversy broke. But the full chamber then deadlocked for hours, as more than two dozen Democrats refused to vote.

Question: According to the article, how many people hold the same wealth as the worlds 3.6 billion most impoverish people combined?

To the east, Gov. John Kasich of Ohio told a group of Montana Republicans this week that they would be crazy not to embrace the president’s program of health coverage for the poor. “I gotta tell you, turning down your money back to Montana on an ideological basis, when people can lose their lives because they get no help, doesn’t make a lot of sense to me,” he said, in remarks reported by the Great Falls Tribune. Nearly every proposal in the State of the Union address polls with majority approval, nationwide. The great issue of the early 21st century is how to elevate a stagnant middle class. When 80 people hold the same amount of wealth as 3.6 billion of the world’s poorest, that equation of inequality can catch the attention of even the most heartless.

Question: Who did important historical work on the Holocaust?

Third, Begley makes no mention of the many complex attempts by Polish gentiles to come to terms with the country’s responsibility, which would include the novels of Jerzy Andrzejewski and Andrzej Szczypiorski and films by Andrzej Wajda, Jerzy Kawalerowicz and Wanda Jakubowska. There is also a great deal of important historical work by Poles on the Holocaust, some of which is now available in English. Many countries involved in the Holocaust acknowledged their collective responsibility only after considerable delay: France did not begin to question its myth of heroic Resistance until the 1980s and 1990s. Poles are now “working through the past” — as Theodor Adorno put it — in a way comparable to the collective memory work of Germans since the 1960s. Last year’s opening of a Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw is only the most visible sign of this.

Question: Who is the NHL's director for central scouting?

Yet the basic purpose of the combine did not change. It was an opportunity for teams to better predict the professional potential of a group, made up mostly of 18-year-olds, based on their body types, quickness, agility, stamina and attitude. “No player has to prove anything, because this is not a competition,” said Dan Marr, the N.H.L.’s director for central scouting, while describing the three components of the combine — medical screening, personal interviews and physical testing. Yet the environment and the personalities of the participants invite comparison, from the news media, the fans and the scouts. “They try to tell us it’s not a competition, but we’re all naturally pretty competitive, so we want to do our best,” said Noah Hanifin, a defenseman for Boston College and the player ranked third in the draft class by N.H.L. Central Scouting. “They will push us to our limits, and whatever happens, happens.”

Question: Who does stop-and-frisk unfairly target?

“What you’ve done, you’ve implemented a federal court order,” Representative Hakeem Jeffries, a Democrat from Brooklyn, said last month. “That’s all that happened.” Mr. Jeffries is one of several elected officials who have chafed at the mayor’s continued support for the so-called broken windows policing strategy. As with the stop-and-frisk approach, they say, the aggressive enforcement of minor offenses unfairly targets young black and Hispanic men. Mr. de Blasio has said broken windows must evolve with the times.

Question: How much royalty does Daata pay the artiests on each sale?

“But you try and say yes to those that instinctively feel interesting, and I thought, ‘Why not give this a shot?”’ The idea behind Daata is simple. Once a year, 18 video, sound and digital artists will be commissioned to do six pieces of three minutes or less, 15 editions of each piece. The works are available to be purchased and downloaded from the site. Daata has a sliding price scale. Sound, web and digital works start at $100 and increase by edition to a top price of $2,800; for video, the starting price is $200, increasing by increments to a top price of $5,600. The price difference, Mr. Gryn said, is linked to the perceived higher market value of video. Daata keeps the revenue and pays each artist a 15 percent royalty on each sale.

Question: What did a donor ask the girl scouts to return?

“Help us raise back the $100,000 a donor asked us to return because we welcome transgender girls,” read the headline on the page, which included a video about the Girl Scouts’ commitment to inclusivity. In a little over five hours, Ms. Ferland says, the site had already received over $100,000 in donations. By the end of that first day, the number was up to $243,958 from 4,760 donors. By the time the fund-raising effort was concluded a month later, the organization had raised $365,573. It was a victory for the Girl Scouts and a lesson for the philanthropic community. “The lesson for the fund-raising community is that if you’re interested in accessing the L.G.B.T. market, your values have to be those of inclusiveness,” says Mickey MacIntyre of realChange Partners, a consultant for nonprofits, focusing on L.G.B.T. issues.
