“If you don’t think too good, try not to think too much.” — wisdom attributed to the late Yogi Berra.Today’s declarer looked too deeply into the play of a slam, or maybe not deeply enough. At 6NT he won the first diamond in dummy and pondered how to attack the clubs. Taking the ace, then leading to the jack would cost if East had a low singleton, but a first-round finesse with the jack would lose only if West had a singleton queen.So South led the deuce of clubs to his jack at Trick Two — holding himself to two club tricks. The heart finesse won later, but he went down.CAN PLAY SAFESouth didn’t think too good. If the heart finesse loses, South needs four club tricks. But if East has the king of hearts, South can play safe for three club tricks.South should lead a heart to his queen at the second trick. When the finesse wins, he leads the king of clubs. If East-West played low clubs, South would lead a second club, planning to play dummy̵...

Memorial Day in DC should be a wet one

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:51:04 GMT

Scattered showers will loom over Memorial Day in the D.C. region on Monday. Here’s what you need to know about the holiday forecast.Those with plans outdoors should bring along rain-gear and brace for scattered showers throughout the day with dry periods breaking up the rain.The rain is courtesy of a slow-moving upper-level system churning south of D.C., 7news First Alert Meteorologist Brian van de Graaff said.When it’s not raining, D.C.-area residents can expect a cloudy day.“There will be dry times to get outside, but just be prepared to dodge a shower or two,” van de Graff said.The best chance of rain is in D.C. and areas south of the District. The highest rainfall is expected south of Interstate 66, he said.The showers, though perhaps ill-timed for some commemorating the holiday, are much-needed as D.C. continues to be in a drought.Temperatures will be a bit milder than the weekend, with highs in the low to mid-70s. A Northeast wind is expected to blow th...

No esperes que las bolsas y el mercado financiero se alegren por el acuerdo sobre el techo de deuda en EE.UU.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:51:04 GMT

Nueva York (CNN) — Se podría esperar que el mercado de valores se disparara después de que la Casa Blanca y los republicanos de la Cámara de Representantes alcanzaran un acuerdo provisional para elevar el techo de la deuda, pero los mercados pueden tener otros planes.El mercado de valores, en su mayor parte, ha estado ignorando los graves riesgos asociados al impago de la deuda por parte de Estados Unidos. Incluso si el Congreso aprueba un proyecto de ley para elevar el techo de la deuda y el presidente Joe Biden lo firma, podrían pasar meses antes de que las acciones y otros mercados financieros pasen a la acción.“Una de las preocupaciones que tengo es que incluso en el período previo a un acuerdo, cuando éste se produzca, puede haber una angustia sustancial en los mercados financieros”, dijo la semana pasada la Secretaria del Tesoro, Janet Yellen.“Estamos viendo sólo los comienzos de ello”, dijo, refiriéndose a la volatilidad de los mercados de accion...

Hays’ tiebreaking single helps Orioles avoid sweep with 3-2 win over Rangers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:51:04 GMT

BALTIMORE (AP) — Frustrated after losing two straight at home, the Baltimore Orioles won another close game to regain some of the momentum they had before the Texas Rangers came to town.Austin Hays singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning to cap a three-hit performance, and Baltimore squeezed past Texas 3-2 on Sunday to avert a three-game sweep.After winning three in a row at Toronto and taking two of three at Yankee Stadium, the Orioles were outscored 17-5 by Texas in the first two games of the series. They entered the finale in danger of being swept for the first time this season.Instead, Baltimore got a much-needed victory.“It’s a great win,” manager Brandon Hyde said. “It’s always tough to get swept.”The Orioles could have fallen apart after Texas tied the game in the eighth. But they bounced back to improve to 10-6 in one-run games and clinch a winning record in May after negotiating a month that included Atlanta, Tampa Bay, the Angel...
