Today’s deal arose in the 1969 Bermuda Bowl in Rio and stirs memories for me though I certainly wasn’t involved. In 1968 I was in Korea in the Army and wound up on a team representing Korea in the Far East Championship in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.Australia won but couldn’t attend the World Championship, so Taiwan’s team went — and finished second. I remember playing against Australia, whom we actually beat, and Taiwan, who murdered us.Declarer at 3NT was Gerard Desrousseaux of France. West led a heart, and East took the ace and returned a heart. South won and needed the next eight tricks. He cashed five clubs, and East discarded three diamonds.MAKING THREESouth next led a spade: queen, king, four. On the next spade, East played low, and South … put up his ace, dropping West’s jack. Making three.I suspect that declarer guessed right in spades because East never discarded one on the run of the clubs. If East had held five spades, he surely would...

Parental access and college records: What parents need to know

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:59:42 GMT

Parents who’ve been involved in monitoring their children’s academic progress from kindergarten through high school may be surprised to know that they may not get the same access to their child’s grades and school-related information once their child turns 18.The Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) covers students once they turn 18, so getting all the information on their academic progress on a college or university campus — or even while they’re still in high school — means a parent will want to talk with their adult child about getting written permission.Barry Glassman, president of Glassman Wealth Associates, said there are “passionate debates” over whether parents should have access to those records. For those parents who are paying all or a large portion of college expenses, “They’re investing in the child’s education, and they want to know how the child is doing, especially in the first few years,” he said.Glassman said other parents may want their c...

Lauren James’ red card prevents showdown with Linda Caicedo at the Women’s World Cup

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:59:42 GMT

SYDNEY (AP) — England vs. Colombia should have seen two of the most exciting young players at the Women’s World Cup go head-to-head. Instead, Lauren James’ red card for standing on Nigeria defender Michelle Alozie means the England forward will miss the quarterfinal in Sydney on Saturday and a showdown with Colombia’s Linda Caicedo. James will also miss the semifinals if the Lionesses advance, after FIFA extended her ban for violent conduct.“We respect that punishment. We take it from here and hope we get through,” England coach Sarina Wiegman said Friday. “We know how we want to fill in that position. It’s a team effort and we support each other and we fill in places that come free.”James’ suspension has denied viewers the prospect of seeing her go up against Caicedo, who has been outstanding during her team’s run to the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time. James made a big impression in the group stage of her first World Cup. She scored a...
