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.
The start of this school year is marked with the usual excitement and business that accompanies kids hauling in school supplies and teary-eyed or relieved -- parents hustling young ones off to grade school. Yet change is in the air.
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 true test of Royal St. George's is the placement of the ridges, swales and variegated bunkers that players must negotiate from the tee and then again as they approach the undulating greens, as the strength and direction of the wind continually alters the receptiveness of the landscape.
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.
Shortly after it opened, the H Street Country Club bar switched from black napkins to white. It seems like a small change, but it has had a big impact for one group of customers. We recognize the majority of the people in our bar are hearing- impaired," said owner Ricardo Vergara, whose business is near Gallaudet University, one of the largest schools for the deaf in the nation.
