Poker players who move from cash games to tournaments should learn to adjust their strategy, says the Main Event winner at the first Pittsburgh Open. Remembering opponents' betting patterns, using "controlled aggression" and knowing when to expand the range of hands you play are ways to increase your chances of going deep in a tournament, says Main Event champ Wei Chang, 32, a doctoral student at the University of Pittsburgh's Katz Graduate School of Business.
WASHINGTON - Frustrated at being left out of an immigration overhaul, gay rights groups are pushing to adjust a bipartisan Senate bill to include gay couples. But Democrats are treading carefully, wary of adding another divisive issue that could lose Republican support and jeopardize the entire bill. Both parties want the bill to succeed. Merely getting to agreement on the basic framework for the immigration overhaul, which would create a long and costly path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million people in the U.S. illegally, was no small feat for senators. And getting it through a divided Congress is still far from a done deal. Even so, gay rights groups, their lobbyists and grass-roots supporters are insisting the deal shouldn't exclude binational, same-sex couples -...
This proposed rule would adjust the number of members on the United Soybean Board (Board) to reflect changes in production levels that have occurred since the Board was last reapportioned in 2009. As required by the Soybean Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Act (Act), membership on the Board is reviewed every 3 years and adjustments are made accordingly.

These changes would be reflected in the Soybean Promotion and Research Order (Order) and would be effective for the 2013 appointment process.
MINNEAPOLIS - A business degree and a decade of negotiating information technology contracts didn't prepare Denise Sjoberg for workdays changing diapers, comforting crying toddlers and negotiating nap times. But then, she's not the only middle-class American adapting in tough times.

A bill that would allow certain home mortgages to be modified by bankruptcy judges has been introduced in the House. The Home Foreclosure Reduction Act of 2011, H.R. 1587, would, among other things, allow bankruptcy judges to adjust the amount of an underwater mortgage to the fair market value of the home. The change will encourage homeowners to make their mortgage payments and help stop the endless cycle of foreclosures further depressing home values, according to the bill's sponsor, Rep. John Conyers, Jr., D- Mich. Currently, mortgage modifications are done solely at the discretion of lenders.
WASHINGTON - As a new power dynamic takes hold in Washington, one thing is clear for cash-strapped states: whether they think of federal aid money as an essential economic boost or a wasteful bailout, the help is over. For states that have leaned heavily on federal stimulus dollars to balance their budgets during their worst fiscal crisis in generations, Washington's more austere attitude will come as a big change. But the really interesting question for 2011 is whether the state-federal relationship may change in more fundamental ways than Congress simply turning off the spigot of emergency budget aid.
