For the Los Alamos Daily Post

In the latest cyber attack, the State of Nevada has been crippled by an unknown attacker. The attack was first reported by the office of the Governor on August 24, and some websites and services remain down at the time of this article, though emergency services are still available.

What do we know so far? State offices including DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) remain Read More

by

BRIDGE News:

This is an interesting hand that came up in our August 13 game! With the distribution in both hands, both sides can make a game. So it comes down to who is the more aggressive.

 

 

This is board #1.  North is the dealer and neither side is vulnerable.

North is the dealer and passes, as does East.  South has an easy 1♣ opening.  After West’s 1♦ overcall, North should bid 1♥.  East could either make a preemptive jump in diamonds or bid his/her 5-card spade suit. I think most players would jump in diamonds, knowing they have a 10+ card fit.  Regardless, South should bid 4♥.  When Read More
