“I heard you’re writing about choosing from more than one finesse,” Unlucky Louie said to me.I nodded.“Well, it doesn’t matter when I’m declarer,” Louie growled. “None of my finesses work, so which one I try first is moot.”Louie was declarer at today’s four spades in a penny game, and West led the queen of clubs and then the jack. Louie ruffed the third club, took the ace of trumps, led a heart to the ace — dummy’s only entry — and returned a trump to finesse with his jack.DOWN THREE“Of course, West had the queen,” Louie said. “I ruffed his heart return and drew trumps, spending all my trumps. I next took the A-K of diamonds. When the queen didn’t fall, I went down three.”Declarer has options. Maybe his best chance is to let the ten of diamonds ride at Trick Six. If that finesse wins, he is a favorite however he continues. If West has the queen of diamonds, South ruffs the hea...

China restricts exports of high-tech metals in a slap at Washington ahead of Yellen’s visit

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:40:37 GMT

BEIJING (AP) — China has imposed export curbs on two metals used in computer chips and solar cells, expanding a squabble with Washington over high-tech trade ahead of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s visit to Beijing this week.The controls on gallium and germanium are intended to “safeguard national security,” the Commerce Ministry said late Monday. It said exports will require official permission once the rules take effect Aug. 1 but did not say what restrictions might be applied.Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s government is frustrated by U.S. curbs on access to advanced processor chips and other technology on security grounds. But Beijing has been slow to retaliate, possibly to avoid disrupting China’s fledgling developers of chips, artificial intelligence and other technology.Yellen is due to arrive Thursday as part of efforts by the Biden administration to revive relations that have plunged to their lowest level in decades due to disputes about technology, China’s milit...

Retailers beware: Resumption of student loan payments could lead some buyers to pull back

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:40:37 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The reprieve is over. Just as the American economy is struggling with high inflation and interest rates, the coming resumption of student loan payments poses yet another potential challenge.The suspension of federal student loan payments, which took effect at the height of the pandemic in 2020, expires late this summer. Interest will start accruing again in September. Payments will resume in October.Though many hoped their loans might at least be lightened, the Supreme Court last week struck down a Biden administration plan that would have given millions of people some relief from the return of the loan payments. The Biden plan would have canceled up to $20,000 in federal student loans for 43 million borrowers; 20 million would have had their loans erased entirely. The court ruled that the plan exceeded the government’s authority.The restart of those payments will force many people to start paying hundreds of dollars in loans each month — money they had been spendi...

STEAMY FOURTH FORECAST

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:40:37 GMT

Happy 4th of July, South Florida!Hopefully this week has started off on a nice note. For some, the holiday is a 4-day weekend and the long holiday weekend has brought on the heat across South Florida. Afternoon high temperatures on Monday reached into the mid 90s while feels-like temperatures were already in the triple digits before lunchtime yesterday. And while some of us saw a few showers and isolated thunderstorms, most of the thunderstorm activity remained well west of our area. This morning it was calm and quiet with showers across the Atlantic near the Bahamas drifting in no real direction.Feels like temperatures on Monday were in the triple digits for an extended period of time and today South Florida can expect much of the same. With the added humidity in place, together with afternoon high temperatures in the mid to lower 90s, heat indices will be ranging anywhere between 105° and 110° for an extended period of time. Because of this, a heat advisory has been issued for all...

Russia illegally used facial recognition to arrest protestor, human rights court rules

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:40:37 GMT

Russia’s use of facial recognition technology to arrest a protester on the Moscow subway violated his human rights, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled Tuesday.“The use of facial-recognition technology in his case ha[s] been incompatible with the ideals and values of a democratic society governed by the rule of law,” the court said in its ruling.Nikolay Glukhin, a Russian citizen, travelled on Moscow’s underground in August 2019 carrying a life-sized cardboard figure of the dissident Konstantin Kotov, who was imprisoned for taking part in unsanctioned rallies. The cutout of Kotov was holding a banner that said “I’m facing up to five years … for peaceful protests.”Glukhin was arrested several days after his solo protest while travelling on the metro, and charged with failing to notify the authorities of his demonstration. He was fined 20,000 roubles (around €200).“The processing of Mr. Glukhin’s personal data in the context of his...
