“I don’t know,” the snail shrugs. “It all happened so fast.”I suspect that today’s declarer didn’t know what hit him. He reached 3NT after suppressing his four-card spade suit, but West led not a spade but the five of hearts. Dummy played low, and East took the king and shifted to the three of spades: queen, king, deuce. West returned the seven: five, nine, jack.LAST SPADESouth next let the jack of diamonds ride. When East won, he led his last spade, and West scored two more tricks with his A-8 over South’s 10-6. Down one, in less time than it takes to tell.South made an understandable but fatal error; he played too fast to the first trick. Instead of playing a low heart from dummy, South must grab the ace, lead a club to his hand and finesse in diamonds. He is sure of four diamonds, four clubs and a heart, and loses no more than two spades, a diamond and a heart.DAILY QUESTIONYou hold: S A K 8 7 H 5 2 D 6 4 2 C 8 6 3 2. Your partner o...

The FBI Used an Undercover Cop With Pink Hair to Spy on Activists and Manufacture Crimes

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:47:15 GMT

The young woman with long pink hair claimed to be from Washington state. One day during the summer of 2020, she walked into the Chinook Center, a community space for left-wing activists in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and offered to volunteer.“She dressed in a way that was sort of noticeable,” said Samantha Christiansen, a co-founder of the Chinook Center. But no one among the activists found that unusual or alarming; everyone has their own style. They accepted her into the community.The pink-haired woman said her name was Chelsie. She also dropped regular hints about her chosen profession.“She implied over the course of getting to know her that she was a sex worker,” said Jon Christiansen, Samantha’s husband and another co-founder of the Chinook Center.“I think somebody else had told me that, and I just was like, ‘Oh, OK. That makes sense,’” said Autum Carter-Wallace, an activist in Colorado Springs. “I never questioned it.”But Chelsie’s identity was as fake as her long pink hair. T...

Injured Haaland to miss Euro 2024 qualifiers for Norway

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:47:15 GMT

OSLO, Norway (AP) — Erling Haaland has left Norway’s training camp because of a groin injury and will miss the team’s upcoming European Championship qualifying games, the national federation said Tuesday. Haaland felt pain from a slight groin injury after playing for Manchester City in the FA Cup quarterfinals against Burnley on Saturday and will return to his club for treatment, the Norwegian federation said. He scored three goals in a 6-0 win against Burnley, raising his total to a club-record 42 this season. The Norwegian federation said it had initially hoped Haaland would recover quickly, but that the pain got worse after he joined up with the national team. With City facing a packed schedule as it chases three trophies in the final part of the season, Norway coach Ståle Solbakken bristled at the suggestion that Haaland was prioritizing his club over his country. “If you had seen him in my hotel room at midnight last night you’d know that (he wanted to play),” Solbakken t...
