Unlucky Louie and the player we call Harlow the Halo are diametrically opposed. Good luck shines in Harlow’s face like good health; Louie would have won a lottery for a ticket on the Titanic.“The man’s errors never cost,” Louie grumbles.In a team match, Louie and Harlow played at 3NT, and West led the ten of clubs: deuce, king, ace.“Harlow led the queen of hearts next,” Louie told me, “and East took the ace! Harlow won the club return, led a heart to the ten and East’s jack, and had 10 tricks. If East had correctly ducked the queen of hearts, the Halo would have been in serious trouble.”BETTER PLAY“My play was better,” Louie said. “At Trick Two I led the three of hearts to dummy’s ten. East won and returned a club; no defense would beat the contract. I won and led the queen of hearts to dummy’s king, assuring an overtrick.”If East let the ten of hearts win, Louie would lead a low heart from dum...

Ask Amy: Should I hide my disturbing family discovery from my cousin?

Published Sat, 01 Feb 2025 05:23:35 GMT

Dear Amy: I had my DNA tested, as have some of my second cousins, and in one case the results are disturbing.My percent-DNA matches with six other cousins are smack in the middle of the normal range for that relationship.But with one particular second cousin — his paternal grandfather and my maternal grandmother were siblings — our percent-DNA match is above the feasible range for second cousins and centered on the range for first cousins once removed.That implies this man is actually my mother’s first cousin — that their parents were siblings.Long story short (having researched DNA results interpretation for other reasons), this cousin’s supposed grandfather is probably actually his biological father.From his online family tree, I see that the cousin was born in 1945, his father served overseas in the Navy during WWII, and his grandfather lived in the same town as his mother.Am I right in not bringing this up nor discussing it with him or anyone else?It does...

‘We want to keep people alive’: How laws across DC region can help prevent fatal overdoses

Published Sat, 01 Feb 2025 05:23:35 GMT

This article is part of the WTOP series, “Facing Down Fentanyl: Teens Confront Drug Danger.”Even as rates of fatal drug overdoses remain alarmingly high, experts say the vast majority of deaths are preventable.More than three out of five overdose deaths involved at least one instance in which the person  could have received help before overdosing, or received lifesaving help during an overdose. That’s according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.The missed opportunities are, in part, due to a fear that other drug users who seek help for someone suffering from an overdose could be prosecuted.That’s not necessarily the case in the D.C. region. Maryland, D.C. and Virginia all have so-called “good Samaritan” laws on the books that protect those who help someone in need.“Even if they’re using drugs, if they have a friend who is overdosing … if they call the police and ask for help and they stay with that person, that they won’t be prosec...
