  • Phoenix Daily Bulletin 11
    DailyNovember 28-December 8, 2002 Bulletin76th Fall North American Bridge Championships Phoenix, Arizona Vol. 76, No. 11 Monday, December 9, 2002 Editors: Henry Francis and Jody Latham Landen sextet victorious in Reisinger Teams The team captained by Stephen Landen won 2.5 out of 3 boards on the last round to claim victory in the Reisinger Board-a-Match Teams. Landen was playing with Pratap Rajadhyaksha; their teammates were Dan Morse-Bobby Wolff and Adam Wildavsky-Doug Doub. With one round to go, three teams were closely bunched: Landen, Malcolm Brachman (Chris Compton, Mike Passell, Claudio Nunes, Fulvio Fantoni) and Nick Nickell (Richard Freeman, Jeff Meckstroth, Eric Rodwell, Bob Hamman, Paul Soloway). Brachman split their round – 1.5 to 1.5 – while Nickell got only 1 on the round. That put Landen on top with 33.14, followed by Richard Schwartz (Michael Becker, David Berkowitz, Larry Cohen, Zia Mahmood, Michael Rosenberg) with 31.12 and Nickell with 30.65. Landen and Rajadhyaksha claimed their second North American championship as a partnership; they won Open Pairs II at the 2000 Spring NABC in Cin- cinnati. Landen won the same event at the 1990 Spring NABC in Fort Worth. Morse and Wolff won their second North Ameri- can championship at this tournament – they were mem- bers of the winning Senior Knockout Teams earlier in the week.

  • Federation Report
    REPORT OF THE FEDERATIONS COMMITTEE The American Contract Bridge League has interaction with many federations in association with the participation of its members in world championships. The most well known of these, and the ones this report will mention, are the World Bridge Federation, the United States Bridge Federation, and the Canadian Bridge Federation. The Mexican Bridge Federation is also involved in such championships, but Mexico actually sends a team to world championships much less often than do the United States and Canada, and discussing their organization will add little to the discussion. The World Bridge Federation is the sponsoring body for all world championships, including the World Team Olympiad (each leap year), the World Bridge Championships (each even numbered non-leap year), the Bermuda Bowl and the Venice Cup (each odd numbered year), and such other championships as the Executive Council of the WBF shall authorize (see the By-Laws of the WBF, which are attached.) At present these championships regularly include Senior Championships and Junior Championships, which are usually held separately from the others. The WBF assumed this role beginning in 1978. The chief governing bodies of the WBF are a Congress and an Executive Council. The Executive Council consists of five members each from Zones 1 and 2 (Europe and the American Contract Bridge League), one member from each other zone, and the President of the WBF. The Congress consists of one member from each National Bridge Organization (NBO). The true power rests in the Executive Council. However, teams represent NBOs. In Europe, where individual countries belong to the European Bridge League, and where individual bridge players pay dues to their respective NBOs, the situation is relatively simple.

  • Laws of Duplicate Bridge 2007
    Foreword to the 2007 Laws of Duplicate Bridge from José Damiani, President, World Bridge Federation: I am proud and honoured to present the Laws of Duplicate Bridge 2007. On behalf of the whole Executive Committee of the World Bridge Federation I wish first to congratulate and thank the Members of the Drafting Sub-Committee for undertaking and completing this onerous task. They deserve the gratitude of the World Bridge community. In the course of its development Duplicate Bridge has in many areas moved away from the earlier form of the game and it continues to do so. It is the duty of the World Bridge Federation to review the Laws regularly (the last time was in 1997) as a service to the Zones and the National Bridge Organisations, their Directors and their players. We acknowledge with pleasure the historic co-operation of the Portland Club, the European Bridge League and the American Contract Bridge League. Thus the WBF is happy to make its copyright freely available to the NBOs either in English or for translation into their own language. NBOs may utilise the text on the Web Site (and this foreword if they wish), but if they print in any format they are requested to put the following The Laws of Duplicate Bridge 2007 Copyright World Bridge Federation with thanks to the members of the Committee: Max Bavin, Ralph Cohen, Grattan Endicott (co-ordinator) Joan Gerard, Ton Kooijman, Jeffrey Polisner, Antonio Riccardi, William Schoder, John Wignall (Chairman). The historic co-operation of The Portland Club The European Bridge League The American Contract Bridge League is gratefully acknowledged PREFACE TO THE 2007 LAWS OF DUPLICATE BRIDGE The first Laws of Duplicate Bridge were published in 1928.

  • The Aegean Chapter Viii the Decorative
    H. J. Kantor - Plant Ornament in the Ancient Near East, Chapter VIII: The Decorative Flora of Crete and the Late Helladic Mainland SECTION II: THE AEGEAN CHAPTER VIII THE DECORATIVE FLORA OF CRETE AND THE LATE HELLADIC MAINLAND In the midst of the sea, on the long island of Crete, there dwelt a people, possessors of the fabulous Minoan culture, who are known to have had trade relations with Egypt, and with other Near-Eastern lands. Still farther away towards the north lies the Mainland of Greece, a region that proved itself to be a very hospitable host to the graft of Minoan culture. Before the close of the LH period the ceramic results of this union were to be spread over the Near East in great profusion and it becomes necessary to define the extent of Aegean influence on those traditions of Near-Eastern art that lie within the scope of our topic. Before this is possible a concise summary of the plant ornamentation of the Aegean must be presented.1 This background forms a necessary basis without which the reaction of Aegean plant design on the main development of our story, be it large or small, cannot be determined. 1 A great deal of interest and work has been devoted to the study of Minoan decorative art almost since the beginning of its discovery, and full advantage of this has been taken in the preparation of the present survey. The chief treatments of the subject are as follows: Edith H. Hall, The Decorative Art of Crete in the Bronze Age (Philadelphia, 1907); Ernst Reisinger, Kretische Vasenmalerei vom Kamares bis zum Palast-Stil (Leipzig, Berlin, 1912); Diederich Fimmen, Die Kretisch-Mykenische Kulture (Leipzig, Berlin, 1924), Alois Gotsmich, Entwicklungsgang der Kretischen Ornamentik, Wein, 1923); Frederich Matz, Frühkretische Siegel (Berlin, 1928), covering a much wider field than is indicated by the title; Georg Karo, Die Schachtgräber von Mykenai (Munchen, 1939).

    November 18-28, 2004 78th Fall North American Bridge Championships Daily Bulletin Orlando, Florida Volume 78, Number 6 Wednesday, November 24, 2004 Editors: Brent Manley and Henry Francis Gitelman is 2005 Honorary Member “If you’re not careful, bridge could ruin your life.” That’s the warning that Ted Horning gave Fred Gitelman many years ago. Gitelman ignored that advice, and now he is the 2005 Honorary ACBL Member of the Year. Gitelman is special. His bridge programs have made a major difference for hundreds of thousands of bridge players. He has been active in promoting Junior bridge. He is a talented writer. He has served on many important bridge committees. He has coached some of America’s international teams. And he’s a fine bridge player as well – he placed second in the 1995 Bermuda Bowl, for example. But this article isn’t about Gitelman’s’s accomplishments. It’s about Fred – the real Fred. Most bridge players have heard that Gitelman plays bridge with Bill Gates of Microsoft fame. How did that ever come about? Italy’s Lauria now Surprisingly it started with Warren Buffett, the internationally famous financial guru. One day Gitelman got a phone call from No. 1 in the world someone who said, “I really like your software.
