Encryption debate has privacy at stake When the director of the FBI rails against companies install- ing real encryption software on phones and computers, we should listen. He’s talking to us. And what he is saying is that the government does not want to give up the ability to spy on its citizens because they might be doing something wrong. The standard argument goes something like this: if you have nothing to hide, then why be worried about government agents spying on the bad guys? Oh, if only we could trust the government. But the National Security Agency already has shown it can’t be trusted not to spy on citizens, secretly gathering data about billions of our phone calls over the years under the so-called Patriot Act. And the Internal Revenue Service, we know, is above play- ing politics when it goes after tax cheats. Or so the gullible may have thought until the IRS was found to be doing just that, putting road blocks in the way of conservative groups under the guise of tax enforcement, holding up nonprofit status rulings, generally trying to suppress the opposition. Sadly, it’s Hobbies rejected, she’ll keep on working happened before. The current movement to allow users to encrypt their data in Steve talks about retiring sometimes.

You can, and all it takes is a slow cooker and a little planning. Here are a few hints so you can have a tasty and safe-to-eat meal: • Don’t place frozen meats in the slow cooker. All meats should be thoroughly thawed before being placed in the slow cooker. • Do make sure you add enough liquid so the meat cooks evenly. • Don’t peek! It is so tempting to lift that lid Dave Green and take a look, but don’t! Every time you lift the Conceptis Sudoku • By Dave Green lid, it may add 20 more minutes to the cooking time. 5 1 • Do make note of the recipes that turn out su- per, as well as the ones that don’t. – Heloise 8 3 2 Chic Young SMASHING GARLIC Blondie • Dear Heloise: I enjoy watching cooking shows, 1 6 and I always see professional cooks smashing garlic cloves with the side of a big knife.

I place them back into the sleeve and then into the freezer. Voila – no more slices stuck together. This makes it easy to use slices as needed, once they are defrosted. – Joan W. in Florida NO WASTE Dear Heloise: When needing to save a tomato you haven’t completely used, place the first slice of tomato (that you normally discard) back on top of the tomato. Wrap in plastic. This keeps the to- mato moist for future use. – Lynn W., Staunton, Va. Sally Forth • Greg Howard Smart! Sometimes I use a lid from yogurt to “cover” the sliced tomato. – Heloise Crossword • Eugene Sheffer © 2014 King Features Syndicate Inc.

Bridge • Steve Becker

An Exception to the Rule Some plays might run contrary to standard procedure, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are wrong. For example, consider this deal where Todd the Dinosaur • Patrick Roberts South gets to five diamonds doubled on the bid- ding shown. It seems natural to win the spade lead in dum- my and return a trump. That’s what you would normally do with this trump holding, but it’s not what declarer should do in the present case. West’s double indicates that he might have all four missing trumps, and if that’s true, a trump play from dummy at trick two is sure to result in losing three trump tricks. Instead, South should cross to the ace of hearts at trick two and lead a low trump toward dummy10-4. This unusual play cuts West down to size. If he follows low, dummy’s ten wins, and South loses only two trump tricks. And if West goes up with Zits • Jim Borgman & Jerry Scott the jack of trumps instead, dummy plays low. Whatever West returns, declarer next concedes the ten of diamonds to the king and again limits his losses to two trump tricks. The hand demonstrates once again why in bridge it is not possible to set forth hard-and- fast rules that cover all situations. The standard rule followed by declarer is to lead from weak- ness toward strength – for example, from x-x to- ward A-Q – and not to lead from strength toward weakness. But here, because of the special circumstances, it is clearly better to lead from strength toward weakness in order to assure the contract. © 2014 King Features Syndicate Inc.
