The Vanderbilt Knockout Teams, the premier event at the Spring NABC, saw a rash of upsets. Many top-seeded teams were KO’d early. In the quarterfinals, four of the teams were originally seeded 30, 34, 35 and 46.A team of five little-known Chinese-Americans, ZHAO, fought their way to the semifinals where they lost to BERNAL. ZHAO’s stirring run would have ended a match earlier had the result in today’s deal not favored them.WORTHLESSNorth-South for the team led by Sam Dinkin bid too optimistically to six spades; South’s king of clubs was likely to be worthless. (North’s two hearts was a transfer; his four diamonds showed a singleton.) When West led the jack of hearts, South won with dummy’s king — and the slam became unmakeable.Say instead South wins with the ace, runs the spades, leads a diamond to the queen and takes the ace at Trick 10. Dummy has the K-7 of hearts and two clubs. West, with the 10-9 of hearts and the A-Q of clubs, must yiel...Victor Wembanyama says he won’t play for France’s national team at this year’s World Cup

By the time Tyron Barnes prepared to address Annandale High School’s band students and parents during an end-of-year banquet in the school cafeteria on June 1, the group had already learned that he had resigned as the school’s director of bands.In between awards that night, and with Principal Shawn DeRose in attendance, Barnes announced that he wouldn’t be returning to Annandale after two years there. It was an awkward address, some parents who attended said, because Barnes said he never intended to leave the school, and wanted to continue leading the band program. Some left confused about the reason behind Barnes’ resignation.Days before the banquet, DeRose sent an email directly to students on behalf of Barnes. It said in part that it was time to explore new opportunities.“I no longer believe that I am a great fit as your director of bands,” the message said.Barnes had intended to share the news during the banquet, but since the email went out, ...Las 5 cosas que debes saber este 26 de junio: Rusia pretende regular al grupo Wagner
