Bridge: Oct. 26, 2023

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 10:07:27 GMT

This week’s deals have treated deceptive play. I came across today’s deal in the archives of my colleague Alfred Sheinwold, the product of his six decades as a columnist. It appeared in “Sheinwold on Bridge” on July 25, 1986, about when our collaboration began.At six spades, South leads a diamond to his hand at Trick Two and returns a low trump to dummy’s queen. If East takes the king, South wins any return and cashes the ace of trumps. When West discards, South picks up the trumps and claims.FIRST TRUMPBut say East follows to the first trump with the eight. If South thinks that card may be a singleton (or from 10-8 doubleton), he may unwisely come back to his hand and lead the jack, and East will have created a second trump trick from thin air.Sheinwold’s index card mentions that I was East! After 37 years, I have not the slightest recollection of this deal, but the falsecarding position is well known. I hope I actually got it right at the table,...

SANTA CRUZ — Hundreds of UC Santa Cruz students gathered Wednesday at the Quarry Plaza on the UCSC campus to demand the university divestment from weapons manufacturers and an end to U.S. support for Israel in the latest war between Israel and Hamas.“Historically, students are a powerful sector of the broader movement for collective freedom,” said the organizers, known as Dissenters, in a statement. “Young people from Palestinian communities, historically Black colleges and universities, Filipino youth, chapters of Democratic Socialists, and multi-racial student organizers from Dissenters chapters nationwide are coalescing around the demand to divest from Israel’s siege on Gaza, marking a historic turning point in this country.”According to the Associated Press, the war is the deadliest of five Gaza wars for both sides.

Will Ozempic temper consumer hunger for Olive Garden breadsticks, groceries?

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 10:07:27 GMT

Darden Restaurants CEO Rick Cardenas got a question on a recent earnings call that even the industry analyst asking it thought was odd.The analyst wanted to know about what effect diabetes and appetite suppressant drugs such as Ozempic would have on restaurant demand. Cardenas heads the company that owns Olive Garden, home to “never-ending” soup, salad and breadsticks.“Full-service dining occasions are driven by a desire to connect with family and friends,” Cardenas answered on the earnings call last month, noting he did not expect a “meaningful impact” for his Orlando-based company.Despite all those breadsticks at Olive Garden, Cardenas said Darden has spent a lot of time over the years developing menus to give guests a wide range of choices.“If it suppresses appetite a little bit, they’re still going to eat,” Cardenas said. “So we’re going to be there for them when they do.”Darden has 1,998 restaurants including Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen and Ruth...
