For the Los Alamos Daily Post

In the latest cyber attack, the State of Nevada has been crippled by an unknown attacker. The attack was first reported by the office of the Governor on August 24, and some websites and services remain down at the time of this article, though emergency services are still available.

I think most players would jump in diamonds, knowing they have a 10+ card fit.  Regardless, South should bid 4♥.  When Read More
