Bridge: April 13, 2023

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:12:59 GMT

Preempts have been around forever. Players who embrace an undisciplined, hyperactive style tend to remember their triumphs and forget their losses.There was nothing hyper about West’s preemptive jump to two spades; it would have been chosen by many players. But North-South still reached six hearts. West led the queen of clubs, and South won with the king, drew trumps, took the ace of clubs and ruffed dummy’s last club.South next cashed three diamonds and, placing West with 6-1-2-4 distribution, played a low spade from both hands. The defender who won was end-played. Making six.BLUEPRINTIf West doesn’t bid, North-South will get to slam, but without a blueprint of the distribution, South may try for a 12th trick by taking the ace of spades and leading toward his queen.I’m certainly not anti-preemption, but you must accept occasional losses. You may induce the opponents to bid with all the more resolve and reach an unlikely contract, then help them judge the pla...

Delta loses $363 million but says travel demand still strong

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:12:59 GMT

Delta Air Lines reported a $363 million loss for the first quarter on Thursday, with higher spending on labor and fuel overshadowing a sharp rise in revenue.But the airline predicted it will make a bigger-than-expected profit in the current second quarter, which includes the start of the key summer travel season.Airlines are getting a tailwind from the combination of strong demand and limited flights, which has pushed fares higher. But investors were spooked this week when industry analysts warned that growth in airline bookings has slowed down compared with this time last year. Delta’s CEO said it is unfair to compare current ticket sales with those from a year ago, when travel was just starting to boom as pandemic-related restrictions were lifted.CEO Ed Bastian and other airline executives have been saying for months that travel demand shows no signs of weakening despite high inflation, layoffs in the tech industry, the failures of a couple banks, and uncertainty about the e...

Corte de apelaciones congela parcialmente la orden del juez de Texas que habría suspendido la aprobación de la FDA de la píldora para abortar

(CNN) — Una corte federal de apelaciones congeló este miércoles por la noche partes de la orden de un juez de Texas que habría suspendido la aprobación de la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos de EE.UU. (FDA, por sus siglas en inglés) de una píldora para abortar.Pero el tribunal solo concedió parcialmente la solicitud del Departamento de Justicia y el fabricante de la droga de suspender el fallo del juez federal de distrito Matthew Kacsmaryk, y el panel efectivamente hizo que el medicamento fuera más difícil de obtener.El viernes pasado, Kacsmaryk emitió un fallo que habría detenido la aprobación del fármaco Mifepristona por parte de la FDA, aprobada hace 23 años. Según la nueva orden de la corte de apelaciones, la aprobación permanecerá vigente y el medicamento permanecerá en el mercado mientras se desarrolla una apelación acelerada.Sin embargo, la Corte de Apelaciones del 5º Circuito de EE.UU. está dejando en su lugar partes del fallo que detuvo los cambios que la FD...
