Question: Who owns Sky?

That split is the same as the broadcasters now hold for the British rights to televise the Premier League, whose teams, including Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, play in games that can attract a global audience of about three billion each week. The league is expected to receive at least an additional $3 billion when it sells the rights to international broadcasters, including those in the United States, later this year. The battle to broadcast the English soccer games had set Sky, which is partly owned by Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox, against BT, the former British telecommunications monopoly that has aggressively expanded into live sports programming as a way to promote its array of cable television and Internet services.

Question: Rueben Randle and Odell Beckham Jr. both play what position for the Giants?

Coughlin said: “We dedicated the game to him. We showed him the game ball that will be awarded to him. Everyone was able to cheer him on and try to make him feel better. He said he watched the game, and he was very proud of how we finished.” EXTRA POINTS Wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Rueben Randle have hamstring injuries that could jeopardize their readiness for the Giants’ next game, at Philadelphia on Oct. 19. Tom Coughlin said he was hoping Beckham and Randle could practice this week in some capacity, even if they were limited. Coughlin offered no update on the availability of Victor Cruz, another receiver, for the Eagles game. ...

Question: when did Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher abolish tenure?

In Wisconsin, a proposal pushed by Gov. Scott Walker would remove the notion of tenure in the university system. The bill is expected to go before the state Assembly and Senate this month. But experts say the idea of tenure has such a strong hold in American education that even colleges struggling under dire budgets in other states are unlikely to follow suit — though they are often limiting tenure. Tenure goes back to medieval times, and the tradition of awarding professors lifetime job guarantees carried over to America, where it began in the late 1700s to protect academic freedom at religious schools. Its grip strengthened in the 1800s when university donors or legislators tried to remove professors whose views they disliked. Britain’s experience may hold some lessons. In 1988, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher abolished the practice as a cost-cutting move.

Question: How many meals a day are many families in South Sudan living on?

Three United Nations agencies reported Thursday that 3.9 million people in South Sudan, roughly a third of the population, now face “severe food insecurity” because of the mayhem and disruptions caused by that country’s nearly two-year-old civil war. A statement issued jointly by the agencies, Unicef, the World Food Program and the Food and Agriculture Organization, also said that at least 30,000 people in Unity State, in the north-central part of South Sudan, had fallen into the “catastrophe” phase of food insecurity — the most dire — and are “living in extreme conditions and are facing starvation and death.” Some families, the statement said, are subsisting on one meal a day of fish and water lilies. Despite a number of peace pledges made by the warring sides, fighting has persisted in South Sudan. Serge Tissot, the Food and Agriculture Organization’s representative in South Sudan, said in the statement that “livelihoods have been severely affected by high inflation rates, market disruption, conflict-related displacement and loss of livestock and agricultural production.”

Question: When did the Governor's office made the request?

His company submitted three ads as part of its protection-themed campaign: the couple touching amid moving boxes, a father clad in industrial goggles changing a diaper, and a man pleading for help from the Mafia. He moved forward with the other two. The authority reviewed its standards after the request by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s office last year. While it did not result in a formal policy change, officials have worked with advertisers to “come up with a compelling advertising message in a somewhat less explicit way,” Adam Lisberg, a spokesman for the agency, said, adding a comment over the cleavage controversy The News brought about.

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: What is the updated version of Unfished Buisness: Women Men Work Family called?

Ms. Slaughter has turned The Atlantic article into a book: “Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family” (Random House). If Ms. Sandberg was primarily focused on actions, Ms. Slaughter is still preoccupied with attitudes. Although there are plenty of policy recommendations, mostly seen before elsewhere, the emphasis is on changing minds, not laws. An entire chapter, for instance, is devoted to the way we talk, which includes a discussion of whether the terms “juggling” and “balance” are offensive and concludes with Ms. Slaughter’s preference for the awkward phrase “work/life fit.” Ms. Slaughter describes the book’s ambition as making us “come together as women and men” to “change how we think, how we talk, how we plan and work and vote.” “Unfinished Business” retains the form and tone of the shorter original but adds extensive excerpts from the “thousands of readers” who Ms. Slaughter says either wrote her directly or otherwise commented on the article. In addition, Ms. Slaughter went on a “listening tour,” giving hundreds of speeches she describes as a form of “call and response research.”

Question: What place and in what time did Keflezighi finish at his first Marathon?

Of the 11 children in the family, Meb said, nine have earned college degrees. And one has become a champion marathon runner, even if first impressions were unnerving. At his first New York City Marathon, in 2002, he finished ninth in 2:12:35 and grew so chilled that his father tried to massage warmth back into his legs and his mother told him, “No more marathons for you.” He remembers telling himself and others, “I don’t want to ever do that again.” Now he is back in New York for a 10th marathon. And after a break of four days or so, Keflezighi will begin his recovery and buildup toward the Olympic trials in February. He did this successfully before the 2012 London Olympics on an even shorter turnaround. Presumably, his attention to detail will avoid a repeat of what happened during the 2011 New York City Marathon, when Keflezighi forgot to put a breathing strip on his nose, leaving it in his running shoe as he finished sixth. An irritation developed and his foot became infected, costing him three weeks of training. Still, Keflezighi rebounded to win the Olympic trials. “He was a little embarrassed,” said Larsen, Keflezighi’s coach. “He’s very alert and precise at what he does. That was very unusual for him.”

Question: Where is the town of Glover located?

One was Representative Sam Young, Democrat of Glover, a town in northeastern Vermont near the Canadian border. His district, where many voters are unhappy about wind turbines favored by Mr. Shumlin, voted overwhelmingly for Mr. Milne, but on Thursday, Mr. Young voted for Mr. Shumlin. “I think the person who gets the most votes should win,” Mr. Young said. This is not academic for him; he won office in 2010 after a recount — by one vote. “If Milne had won the election statewide, I would have voted for him,” Mr. Young said. “I truly believe we should preserve the democratic process: one person, one vote.”

One was Representative Sam Young, Democrat of Glover, a town in <hl> northeastern Vermont near the Canadian border <hl> .


Question: What is Cook's title?

Timothy D. Cook, Apple’s chief executive, called the new iPad Pro “the most capable” tablet the company has ever created. With a larger screen and optional keyboard, it becomes a device that is meant to be useful for both the creation and consumption of content. “It makes sense for Apple to reveal a new keyboard along with new, larger-screen iPads with faster processors,” said Toni Sacconaghi, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein. “The message being that Apple is trying to push the iPad to be more of a PC replacement, a converged device of a tablet notebook that has broader computing powers.” But starting at $800 (not including the optional $170 keyboard and the $100 stylus), it is much more expensive than earlier iPads.

Question: According to Mr. Canby, what can you find today in Fifth Avenue mansions and public libraries?

The gadgetry “I have a particular fondness for the look of the interior of a gigantic satellite called the Death Star, a place full of the kind of waste space one finds today only in old Fifth Avenue mansions and public libraries.” A week later, Mr. Canby took to his Sunday column to defend against a charge by some critics that movies like “Star Wars,” a “gigantic comic strip of a sci-fi movie,” were “the seminal works of a new age of Non-Think, an anti-intellectual reaction to the plays and films that go out of their way to insult, shock, provoke and disturb, that question everything, including the system that allows the artist to express his outrage.”

Question: What proof was there of the deplorable conditions?

What was clear was that those trapped had been living in difficult conditions. Video shot by insurgents entering the grounds showed the hospital building in rubble, with dismembered or decomposing bodies strewn about. Food and water had been airdropped to the those trapped inside. Graffiti on the walls read, “Assad or we damn the country.” In one video posted by insurgents, voices can be heard, apparently those of insurgents watching the escape.

Question: What doctor is concerned with misused findings?

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

Question: Who was Robert E. Lee's personal photographer?

Like an essayist collecting quotations, Mann ransacks the history of photography for her imagery. “I’m a shameless borrower,” she says. The influence of Norman Sieff, her photography teacher at Bennington and best known for his sepia-tinted album cover for the Band, can still be felt. At Hollins, she reprinted the glass plates of Michael Miley, Robert E. Lee’s main portrait photographer, and further immersed herself in the technology of the 19th century. A feeling of nostalgia as well as hidden danger has marked Mann’s work for years.

Question: Who expected them to know much of the basics?

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: Who does Ball have the logic of?

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: Who noted that the board "never said" that two casinos in the Southern Tier could not work?

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: How much has China Resources index rose since 2010?

Although the Shanghai composite index has risen less than 3 percent so far this year, the Zexi No. 1 Fund, which works with a subsidiary of the state-owned conglomerate China Resources, gained 323 percent through Friday; it has risen 3,270 percent since its inception in 2010. The Zexi No. 3 Fund has gained 382 percent this year and 3,945 percent since 2010, according to figures on the company’s website, which were obtained before it was taken down late Monday morning. The firm’s performance was the subject of intense market speculation in September, when a post on social media accused the company of manipulation. It focused on an unprofitable clothing retailer that reached a market high this summer despite the market volatility.

Question: What village did Mr. Chauvin spend his holidays in?

In his biographical essay, Mr. Chauvin recounted fond memories of looking out of his bedroom window, over the family’s large garden, and watching barges ply the Lys River, where it separates France from Belgium, towed by horses or men. His parents were from the Tours region, he said, descending “from long-established families in the little village of Beaumont-la-Ronce.” “I used to spend my holidays there in my grandparents’ large family house, with my numerous cousins,” he wrote. “When I die, I am going to be buried in the village cemetery.”

Question: What was the assailant wearing?

An assailant wearing medical garb and wielding a box cutter attacked a 16-year-old girl who was walking to school in Queens on Wednesday morning, the police said. The attacker had not been captured by the afternoon, the police said. “She’s slashed in her face, twice,” said Robert K. Boyce, the New York Police Department’s chief of detectives. “Once from her ear to her throat, to the middle of her throat, and another part of the face as well.” The victim, an exchange student from China whom the police did not publicly identify, was taken to Long Island Jewish Medical Center with wounds that Chief Boyce said were not considered to be life-threatening. The attack, he said, “came out of nowhere.” The girl has been living in the country for eight months, Chief Boyce said. He said her sister and brother were with her at the hospital.

Question: what day did the federal judge inform the Rowan County Clerk?

A federal judge on Wednesday denied Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis a stay of his order requiring her office to issue marriage licenses to all eligible couples. It was the latest setback for the clerk, who objects to same-sex marriage on religious grounds and was previously jailed rather than issue licenses to gay couples. Ms. Davis has repeatedly asked Judge David L. Bunning of Federal District Court to put a hold on his orders requiring the issuance of marriage licenses while she appeals. Her latest request stems from Judge Bunning’s order making it clear that his decision applied to all eligible couples and was not limited to the couples who had sued her. Judge Bunning said Wednesday that without the clarification, he would have "left other eligible couples at the mercy of Davis’s ‘no marriages policy.’ " He wrote, “Such an approach would not only create piecemeal litigation, it would be inconsistent with basic principles of justice and fairness." Ms. Davis spent five days in jail earlier in September. Her release was conditioned in part on her not interfering with the issuance of marriage licenses by her office.

Question: Who is Lindsay Miller?

There are no definitive figures, but officials say that most police forces do not use body cameras, or use them on a very limited basis.

Question: What kind of feeling is derived by the author when reading work books?

I am especially partial to these kinds of “work” books, these generally antiquated, patient things, that instead of telling a story directly, indirectly relate the inevitably moving story of a person getting up every day, sufficiently hopeful that something will be yielded via an extravagant, chaotic gathering of data. I confess I use these “work” books the way other people use alcohol or exercise or SSRIs or sleeping pills — I turn to them for an altered state. Opening “Wild Talents” to a random page, I find Fort narrating how as a kid he had run out of everything but peach labels for the tinned food at his parents’ store, and so labeled all the tins — from tins of plums to tins of string beans — as peaches. Then, obliquely, he connects this to a string of unsolved murders across time and space.

Question: What movement from 50 years ago did the American rabbis reference in their letter declaring the need for environmental action?

Perhaps the biggest question now is whether rising concern about the environment among religious groups will translate into stronger political demands that governments find ways to reduce the cost of low-carbon energy supplies, improve their reliability and speed their deployment. This month, more than 350 American rabbis issued a letter of their own, declaring that the time for action was at hand. “The hope is that over and over in our history, when our country faced the need for profound change, it has been our communities of moral commitment, religious covenant and spiritual search that have arisen to meet the need,” the rabbis declared. “So it was 50 years ago during the civil rights movement, and so it must be today.”

Question: How many individuals are currently in their pool?

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.

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 <hl> 100 <hl> 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 is the stadium that doesn't have good beer?

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

Question: What was Deutsche Bank's former target for return on capital?

For Deutsche Bank, the change will entail a reduction of hundreds of billions of euros in the bank’s use of borrowed funds. It also means that the bank will earn a lower return on the money it invests than in the past. The bank will aim for a 10 percent return on capital, down from a previous target of 12 percent and a far cry from the 25 percent return that Deutsche Bank sought to achieve before the financial crisis. In addition, the bank said it aimed to cut costs by 3.5 billion euros, or about $3.8 billion, a year. The cuts would seem to suggest that Deutsche Bank will have little choice but to join other European banks like UBS or Barclays in scaling back its American operations.

Question: What city did Tian travel to after his customer became an informant?

Mr. Tian’s case is particularly significant not only because the D.E.A. considers him a major spice exporter, but also because Chinese manufacturers of synthetic drugs so rarely come to the United States. But Mr. Tian traveled to Los Angeles after a major customer of his became a confidential informant for the D.E.A. The informant, who has not been identified, told investigators that about 70 percent of the spice sold in the United States was made from chemicals originating in Mr. Tian’s Chinese laboratory. The location of that lab has not been disclosed. D.E.A. officials said in a statement on Thursday that China’s Ministry of Public Security had initiated its own investigation into Mr. Tian, his associates and relevant companies. “The D.E.A. and M.P.S. continue to exchange information in this joint investigation into the manufacturing and trafficking of synthetic cannabinoid compounds and other dangerous drugs,” the statement said. Lawyers for Mr. Tian declined to comment on the case before his trial, scheduled to begin in federal court in Milwaukee in July.

Question: What is an evil name?

“He acted more like a prosecutor than a defense lawyer,” Yevhen Sverstiuk, an essayist and author who knew Mr. Stus, said in an interview last year. Mr. Sverstiuk, who himself spent seven years as a political prisoner in Soviet labor camps and five years in exile in Siberia, died in December at 86. He had recently served as president of the Ukrainian PEN Center, a chapter of the international writers’ association. “A man with such a past cannot be a public figure,” Mr. Sverstiuk said of Mr. Medvedchuk in the interview, adding: “In short, he is a sinister character. This is an evil name.”

Question: What level of dress is Jessie often out at the farm?

She remains undecided about whether her own series of pictures will continue when Jessie reaches puberty. “I swore two years ago that because she was beginning to look more like an adult woman, I was going to stop. But it would have been difficult, because she’s always naked out here.” She knows, too, that all three will soon close her out in developing their young-adult selves, and “that could be scary.” Daniel Shybunko has told her to expect a different opinion about the pictures as they “assert their own autonomy.” That one of them could pen a “Mommie Dearest” has also crossed her mind. A screaming fight breaks out down by the river over Virginia’s watch, and Mann, hoping the girls will sort it out themselves, tries to continue her train of thought. Her longstanding affection for the books of Nabokov has faced revision in light of her situation. “I just reread ‘Lolita,’ “ she says above the din. “I love him, of course. But I found it pretty difficult to read the second time because of what he did to that girl.”

Question: What party was debating Tuesday night?

It was impossible not to feel a sense of relief watching the Democratic debate after months dominated by the Republican circus of haters, ranters and that very special group of king killers in Congress. For those despairing about the future of American politics, here was proof that it doesn’t have to revolve around candidates who pride themselves on knowing nothing or believe that governing is all about destroying government. Civility was a big winner on Tuesday night, and the discussion of real issues was refreshing. But what stood out most was the Democratic Party’s big tent, capable of containing a spectrum of reality-based views. All five candidates — including two refugees from what had been the Republican Party, Lincoln Chafee, a former Republican senator, and Jim Webb, secretary of the Navy in the Reagan administration — have real records. They also have real differences on important issues — national security, foreign policy, gun safety, financial reforms. Those differences illuminate the choices that have to be made in governing, some likely to be successful, some ineffective.

Question: did Harris enjoy the tests?

“I played 27 more tests than I ever thought I would,” Harris said Saturday. “I relished every single moment of them.” His departure robs Australia of its one bowler who has proved effective in English conditions, as he was its leading wicket-taker in England in 2013. Harris, 35, was a subtle craftsmen among a clutch of flamethrowers, relying on control and variation. rather than sheer speed. His loss increases Australia’s likely reliance on its two fearsome left-armers, Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson, and it is also a reminder of one potential vulnerability of the defending champion — its age. Brad Haddin, the wicketkeeper, and Chris Rogers, an opening batsman, are both 37. Middle-order batsman Adam Voges is a 35-year-old test rookie. Johnson is 33, while captain Michael Clarke is 34 and has a history of back trouble. Much will depend on Clarke’s heir apparent as captain, Steve Smith. The 26-year-old was once regarded as a “bits and pieces” player who was not quite good enough in any of his roles, but he has developed into a batting specialist who now tops the world rankings.

Question: What type of license may 19 1/2 year old drivers license pilot program obtain?

Your Nov. 4 editorial “The Bill That Would Make Roads Less Safe” unfairly represents strongly bipartisan transportation legislation that the House passed last week. Americans depend on safe transportation, and this bill makes our roads safer. Republican and Democratic bill sponsors saw the need to reform misleading truck and bus safety ratings. While these reforms are enacted, all trucker safety requirements will continue and data on violations, inspections and out-of-service rates will remain public. The graduated driver’s license pilot program would allow 19½-year-old truck drivers only when accompanied by older drivers, and it would be based on recommendations of a task force that includes safety advocates. And the bill does not “make it harder for the department to raise the minimum insurance requirements for trucks and buses.” It asks the Transportation Department to study increasing minimum insurance levels for intercity buses before devising new regulations. The bill actually includes numerous safety provisions to promote the deployment of safety technology, address highway-railway crossings, incentivize trucking companies to install the latest safety technology, enhance driver safety measures and more.

Question: What was the persons ethnicity?

And I grew up in these two different cultural households. My dad’s household was all white, and my mother and my two older sisters are black. I’m the only one who’s biracial.
