Bridge: April 17, 2023

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 19:13:25 GMT

Players can succumb to the “euphoria effect.” If something good happens early in the play, they respond emotionally and forget that the deal isn’t over.The raise to 3NT by today’s North was bold: Seven of his points lay in a short suit, he lacked aces, and a heart lead was likely. When West led a low heart, South correctly and hopefully put up dummy’s queen — and it won!South must have been euphoric. He next unblocked the A-K of clubs, led a diamond to his ace and took the queen of clubs. When he led a second diamond to dummy’s king, expecting five diamond tricks and nine in all, East discarded. Down two.LAPSEEuphoria is not one of the Nine Muses of Greek myth; South was so ecstatic at winning Trick One that he lost focus. After he takes dummy’s high clubs, he must cash the king of diamonds, following with his ten, and lead to his ace.When East shows out, South takes the queen of clubs and leads a diamond to the nine. He can run the di...

Nationals Notebook: Power outage threatens to short-circuit season

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 19:13:25 GMT

The Washington Nationals avoided a sweep at the hands of the Cleveland Guardians by rallying past on Sunday 7-6, thanks to a late-inning surge.The Nats also hit a pair of home runs in the victory. Both the rally and the power are notable because they’ve been isolated incidents this year.For a while, the pitching has been porous at times (21st in MLB in team earned run average); what’s been a disaster is an offense that ranks 28th in the majors in scoring and is tied for last with 8 home runs. Sunday’s win aside, they’re also fading in the late innings, hitting just .184 (29th in MLB) with a big-league worst 13 runs after the sixth. It’s still April, but it’s getting late early in the 2023 season.WASHINGTON, DC — APRIL 16: Jeimer Candelario #9 of the Washington Nationals hits an RBI single against the Cleveland Guardians during the first inning at Nationals Park on April 16, 2023 in Washington, DC.

Elon Musk establece bajas expectativas antes del primer lanzamiento de SpaceX del Starship, el cohete más poderoso jamás construido

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 19:13:25 GMT

(CNN) — Apenas unos meses después de que la NASA presentara al mundo el cohete más poderoso jamás puesto en órbita, SpaceX de Elon Musk está preparado para lanzar su propia creación, que podría contener casi el doble de la potencia de cualquier objeto que haya volado anteriormente.– El vehículo de SpaceX, llamado Starship, se encuentra actualmente en una plataforma de lanzamiento en las instalaciones de la compañía en la costa sur de Texas. La compañía tiene como objetivo el despegue a las 8 a.m., hora local, (9 a.m., ET) de este lunes, aunque tiene la capacidad de despegar en cualquier momento entre las 8 a.m. hora local (9 a.m. ET) y las 9:30 a.m. hora local (10:30 a.m. ET).“Supongo que me gustaría simplemente establecer expectativas bajas”, dijo el CEO de SpaceX, Elon Musk, durante un evento de Twitter “Spaces” para sus suscriptores este domingo por la noche. “Si nos alejamos lo suficiente de la plataforma de lanzamiento antes de que algo salga mal, creo que lo consid...

‘We’re watching’: Md. Attorney General warns landlords against using discriminatory practices

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 19:13:25 GMT

Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown wants to protect renters from discriminatory landlords in the Old Line State, but so far, the law has tied his hands.“Up until now, the Office of the Attorney General in Maryland had a very small role in enforcing federal and state civil rights laws,” Brown told WTOP after 100 days in office.That’s because for 53 years, the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights has been the only state entity allowed to fight discrimination.But that’s expected to change once Maryland Gov. Wes Moore signs the Civil Rights Enforcement bill (SB 540). The bill gives Maryland’s top prosecutor the power to protect residents from civil rights violations.“I’ll have a new tool to enforce federal and state civil rights laws to protect all Marylanders, much like I have in consumer protection,” Brown said.A report in 2022 found that more than 400 housing discrimination complaints were investigated by the Maryland Commission on ...

Athletics sinking to new depths amid terrible start

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 19:13:25 GMT

Baseball’s new pitch timer finally met its match this week in the form of Oakland’s pitching staff.The Athletics walked 17 batters in a 17-6 loss to the New York Mets on Friday night. Time of game: 3 hours, 29 minutes — and it may have felt twice that long to anyone who stayed until the end.With the Mets in town, Oakland drew 11,102 for that contest, an improvement for a team that managed under 12,000 fans for an entire three-game series against Cleveland. It’s been a dreary start for the A’s at the box office, and the team’s performance on the field has been even worse than expected.After being swept by the Mets, the A’s have the worst record in the majors at 3-13. Their run differential of minus-63 is the worst in the sport, and the fourth-worst of the modern era in a team’s first 16 games.Oakland has been held to one run or fewer five times, and the A’s have allowed 11 runs or more six times. In three of their games, they did both.O...

A minor-league goalie carries Panthers into Boston matchup

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 19:13:25 GMT

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. (AP) — Alex Lyon started this season in the American Hockey League. He actually wasn’t even eligible for the opening two games of the season down there, since he had to first serve a suspension for excessively celebrating a championship in the minors last year.And now he may be the goalie the Florida Panthers will bet on to start the Stanley Cup playoffs — against the team that just posted the best regular season in NHL history, no less.Lyon is expected to be the starting goaltender Monday night when Florida visits Boston in Game 1 of an Eastern Conference first-round series. If it happens, it’ll be his NHL playoff debut.“I never thought I’d be in this situation,” Lyon said.That’s understandable, for so many reasons.Let’s start here: The 30-year-old Lyon went undrafted and is essentially a career minor-leaguer — with 227 games in the AHL, including playoffs, and only had 24 entering this season in the NHL. He set a slew of records in college at Yale, led Chicago ...
