A judge faces a decision on whether a gambler must repay $75,000 in loans from a southern Indiana casino where he claims workers kept serving him bourbon drinks while he was drunk. A lawyer for Jimmy L. Vance of Corbin, Ky., said that the key issue in the case is whether Indiana law allows a casino to enter into a legal contract with a patron who is drunk.

Rep. Patrick McHenry's bill to replace Ulysses S. Grant's image with the 40th president's generates controversy. Ronald Reagan is honored by, among other things, an airport, a freeway, an aircraft carrier and -- ironically for a critic of big government -- one of the biggest federal buildings in Washington. Now, some of the late president's admirers are launching a new effort to add another honor: printing his likeness on a $50 bill in place of Ulysses S. Grant's. In polls of presidential scholars, Reagan consistently outranks Grant, said Rep. Patrick T. McHenry (R-N.C.), who introduced legislation to make the change....

North Korea seems to have suspended the state-sponsored drug trade last year but continues to trade in counterfeit dollar bills and cigarettes, the U.S. State Department claims. The annual International Narcotics Control Strategy Report released by the department on Monday said, "Hard-to-detect fake US$100 notes made only by North Korea turned up in 2008 and 2009 in San Francisco and the South Korean city of Busan, although it was unclear how long the notes had been in circulation," AFP reported.

Who am I? I am a man, who has worked hard all my life, was raised in the outdoors, learned to hunt and fish at an early age and am currently a lifetime member of the NRA. I have been a smallbusinessperson and an entrepreneur and understand what it takes to run a business and succeed. My hero was Ronald Reagan and I consider myself to be cut from the same cloth as our 40th President of the United States. Some people call me a Reagan conservative. I believe in fiscal responsibility, balancing budgets, low taxes and not incurring massive...

Energy efficiency is one of the themes most discussed by those who are interested in issues regarding energy and the environment. The key question is how effective these proposed solutions will be. Will these technological solutions labeled as energy efficiency (i.e. an increase in power plants generation efficiency, cogeneration, home insulation, more efficient electric motors, cars, light bulbs, etc.) really lead to a decrease in the global demand for energy? First of all, we should distinguish between two different economic spheres: production and consumption. With respect to production, the proposed solutions (increases in power plants efficiency, changes to EFF1 electric...

Republican Joe Walsh won his party's nomination for the Illinois 8th District Congressional seat this February. He'll face Democrat incumbent Melissa Bean in November. But as of right this minute he's broke. Mr. Walsh is fond of calling himself the "tea party candidate," but with his empty campaign coffers this is an excellent time to ask the question: can the tea party groups that endorsed him help him raise money? This isn't a sudden situation, though. In December just on the eve of the primary his campaign chief quit the campaign and then sued candidate Walsh over unpaid consulting fees....

If you have bad credit in the new era of credit card regulation, be prepared to pay -- dearly -- for the privilege of using credit. That's the message underlying recent credit card offers that feature jaw-dropping interest rates of up to 79.9 percent. The sky-high rates may be a sign of things to come in the market for so-called subprime credit cards as issuers who lend to the riskiest of borrowers try to figure out how to stay in business and comply with the new credit card reform law. "We need to price our product based on the risk...
