As I began to write this set of columns, a garden spider set up shop outside my office window and waited with grim patience for a bug to be caught in her web.As declarer, regard the spider’s patience. Don’t stake your contract on one line of play when others are available. Try to combine your chances.In today’s deal, West led a diamond against six spades. Declarer took the ace, drew trumps and tried a heart to dummy’s queen. East won and returned a heart. South then tried for his 12th trick by finessing with the jack of diamonds, but East produced the queen.Did South play to best advantage?CLUB RUFFAfter South draws trumps, he can finesse in diamonds. East wins and returns a diamond, and South takes the king, pitching a club. He cashes the A-K of clubs and ruffs a club, and when the suit breaks 3-3, dummy’s fourth club is good for the 12th trick.If the clubs fail to break, South has one chance left: He can finesse in hearts.This week: which finesse?DAIL...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:16:53 GMT

(CNN) — ¡Enmendar la constitución! ¡Suicidio político! ¡Piensa en grande y mejora las cosas!Este es el período de las grandes ideas de la política estadounidense, un momento que ocurre aproximadamente cada cuatro años antes de una elección presidencial, cuando los candidatos impulsan propuestas amplias, generalmente con pocos detalles.Si bien las grandes ideas generalmente tienen pocas posibilidades de convertirse en ley, hablan de lo que las personas que quieren ser presidente piensan que moverá a los votantes de las primarias.Con el presidente Joe Biden actualmente asegurado para la nominación demócrata, la mayor parte de la acción intelectual este año es entre los republicanos.A continuación te presentamos algunas de las grandes ideas del momento, que generalmente son exclusivas de uno o dos candidatos en lugar de posiciones que son estándar para el partido. Veo estos como distintos de los temas políticos cotidianos, como el derecho al aborto, la política exterior, la segur...

Padres, Mets running out of time to turn around disappointing seasons

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:16:53 GMT

In the last few days before the All-Star break, the San Diego Padres will host the New York Mets this week.It’s safe to say both teams are ready to put the first half behind them.The Padres and Mets are two of baseball’s biggest disappointments so far, languishing below .500 despite high-priced, star-laden rosters. The fact that both teams are currently 38-46 feels like an appropriate symmetry.San Diego’s outlook appears a bit rosier than New York’s. The Padres actually have a run differential of plus-23. They’ve been done in by a 5-15 record in one-run games and an 0-7 mark in extra innings. If the close games turn around for them, the Padres could certainly make a run, and unlike the Mets, their star closer (Josh Hader) is healthy.But San Diego has lost seven of its last eight games, during a stretch of the schedule that included Washington, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. A contending team shouldn’t be struggling so much against that trio.The Mets, ...

Call him Maximum Verstappen: F1’s runaway leader takes dominance to a new level

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:16:53 GMT

Max Verstappen has been so dominant, Formula One’s runaway leader may soon have to change his name to Maximum Verstappen.Verstappen won both the main F1 race and the shorter sprint race from pole position at the Austrian Grand Prix, topped every section of qualifying and led the only practice session on his way to collecting a fifth straight win, and a seventh in nine races so far this season. Make that eight in 11 if you include the two sprint races so far, which he’s split with teammate Sergio Perez, to give Red Bull a clean sweep of every Grand Prix.But Perez, who has won the other two main F1 races for the untouchable-looking Red Bull team, is very much taking a back seat this season.Verstappen crushed the competition to such an extent at his team’s home track in Spielberg that he even surprised himself.“It’s been a pretty incredible weekend,” he 25-year-old Dutchman said. “Something I didn’t expect.” He was probably the only one w...
