My math is pretty basic. I have books but not much practice in application yet.
Here is what I want to do.
I have 30 frames to work with.
I need an output value between 0.0f and 4.0f to apply a "shake" to an object within that 30 frames.
I want the shake to ease in and ease out.
Could someone point me in the right direction?

You can change the world one life at a time.

The Broncos hit 10 of 25 tries from beyond the arc and defeated Ashville 55-39 in Jacksonville State University's Pete Mathews Coliseum.
Holly Pond (29-5), which beat Piedmont during the regional semifinals, will play South Regional champion Opp or Straughn in the AHSAA 3A semifinals on Wednesday at 3 p.m. in the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Complex.
Opp and Straughn play later today.
Ashville, which went 0-for-9 on 3-pointers Saturday, finished 28-4.
Taylor Terry led Holly Pond with 14 points. Natasha Holcombe hit a team-high three 3-pointers and tied teammate Taylor Rowell with 11 points.
Every Holly Pond starter hit at least one 3-pointer. Four hit two or more, and Holly Pond shot better behind the 3-point line (40 percent) than overall (38.6).
"That's our best 3-point shooting game of the year, and I knew that we had to have that," Holly Pond coach Scott Adams said. "Points in the paint are hard to get against them."
Ashville got 10 points apiece from Autumn Swearengin and Lakeivia Looney.
Sports Columnist Joe Medley: 256-235-3576. On Twitter @jmedley_star.
Editor's note: This story has been modified from its original version to correct the venue of Holly Pond's state semifinal game Wednesday. The game will be played at the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Complex.

Sink your toes into the sand, suck on that coconut and sit back with a sigh -- yep, it's hard to believe anywhere can be this beautiful, but the South Pacific really is. Palm-fringed islands, turquoise lagoons and luscious scenery interplay with underwater worlds, ancient cultures and urban groove. Get over the legendary paralysis that afflicts travelers to this region and you'll find the South Pacific is infinitely more than leisurely dips in aquamarine waters and lengthy spells lying on blonde beaches...though they'll do to start.

Become a Grand Tourist during Lunchtime Gallery Talk
For Immediate Release
August 21, 2009
Feed your hunger for art by joining Terri Boccia, acquisitions librarian at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, as she examines Hubert Robert's painting Roman Ruins with Laundresses on Thursday, September 10. This Looking at Lunchtime Talk is free with paid gallery admission and held at 12:30 pm.
In the eighteenth century, Rome was at least as popular with visitors as it is today. Travelers from Northern Europe—and even a few from North America—braved the rigors of uncomfortable carriages, inedible food, and unspeakable accommodations to gaze in wonder at the ruins of the ancient world. Artists like Hubert Robert produced images like the splendid Roman Ruins with Laundresses (about 1770) for these Grand Tourists to take home.
The series continues on Thursday, October 8, when curatorial assistant Sarah Hammond will look at Pierre-Auguste Renoir's The Bay of Naples with Vesuvius in the Background. The talks take place at 12:30 pm on the second Thursday of every month. Attendees may purchase food at the Clark or bring a bag lunch to enjoy before or after the gallery talk. Looking at Lunchtime Talks are free with paid gallery admission June 1 through October 31.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open 10 am to 5 pm daily in July and August (closed Mondays, September through June). Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit clarkart.edu.

Liberty, Privacy & Surveillance
ALA's extensive First Amendment, liberty and privacy principles guide the association's work in the federal legislative and policy arenas as well as at the state and local levels in order to protect personal privacy based upon a long standing commitment to patron privacy. Advancing the library community's principles to protect patron confidentiality requires major grassroots work from the library community to promote library priorities in these environments. There are several parts of ALA that work on these important issues.
Surveillance, Privacy, Open Government and Constitutional Rights
Revelations began in June 2013 that the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have been obtaining and storing vast amounts of personal information about millions of innocent people. These reports about the government gaining access of this data thru the use of Section 215, often called the "library provision," of the USA PATRIOT Act, emphasize the need to protect our constitutional rights as well as the need to stay engaged in these important debates. The revelations raise questions, not just about personal privacy and surveillance, but also about open government and transparency.
The American Library Association and our nation's libraries have long been committed to the principles of free speech, protection of privacy, open government and access to government information. These democratic principles have translated into education and advocacy within the library community and with the public, at every level of government and in all kinds of libraries.
At the congressional level, following these revelations on government data mining, ALA renewed its call for reforms that would improve oversight and accountability, declassify information necessary to promote public debate and assure true oversight and transparency in this whole arena.There must be a better balance between our constitutional rights and the need to thwart terrorism.
In calling for a public dialogue on privacy, ALA developed a toolkit and other resources to support librarians and others to convene forums and moderate community discussions on privacy.Libraries trusted institutions in their respective communities that can provide information, promote education and enable dialogue on this constellation of issues.There is no better community institution to begin this dialogue.Let the debate begin.
Office for Intellectual Freedom
In conjunction with the ALA Intellectual Freedom Committee (IFC), ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) conducts the associations work on intellectual freedom and privacy issues at the state and local levels, often working also with state library association chapters. OIF also takes the lead on most ALA litigation on these issues.
Office of Government Relations
At the federal level, ALA's Committee on Legislation (COL) works with the Office of Government Relations (OGR). The federal debates often focus on provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act, the Electronic Computer Privacy Act (ECPA), the Computer Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) and other surveillance and data retention proposals.

This move lasts for 2-5 turns as a passive effect, so the user can choose other moves after using this while it is still in effect. It does 1/16 damage at the end of the turn for each turn in effect, and prevents the target from switching. The effect goes away when the user switches, even if the 2-5 turn counter isn't up.

Mon-Fri 6am-3pm
Sat-Sun 7am-3pm
Neighborhoods: Central, Loop
There are several locations to visit for solid renditions of breakfast favorites, like frittatas and pancakes.
There is a reason why this is CitySearch best places in Chicago. Seriously, this place is DELICIOUS! Go sweet or salty, you won't be disappointed.
The omlettes are amazing!!!
Great Breakfast – Great breakfast spot. It's always busy but the wait never seems to be too long. I would recommend getting their strawberry-orange juice, it's always fresh and delicious. The food is great. I have liked everything I've tried but am a fan of the eggs benedict and the tour de France, which comes with three different types of french toast. They also offer other food for if you aren't in a breakfast mood. The service is pretty good most of the time, however, they can get pretty busy so it's best to try to order right away.
South Loop Breakfast! – This place is right down the block from me, and I remember one of my roommates RAVING about this place as soon as we moved in this past summer. Granted, it took me a surprisingly long time to meander down there myself...like, four months. Haaa. (So I'm a little slow...)
It's a great place for breakfast or brunch! There are so many things to choose from for breakfast that it made our heads spin.The portions are huge! The prices are great . The waitress checked up on us several times. Simply Great place.
These negative reviews gotta be a joke... – Okay, anyone giving this place one star must be working for another breakfast place, or simply be irritatingly impossible to please...
I have eaten at Yolk many times, never had a bad experience outside of occasionally waiting for a check a little longer then I wanted to... but it is a busy place on the weekends, so I expect it.
The food is gigantic. $10 for an omelet the size of my head, served with an English muffin (which is a little too firm for my liking personally, but I can't finish the pancakes you can substitute in for the muffin) and enough fruit on the plate alone to constitute a breakfast.
I get half that portion for $10 at most major chain restaurants.
I not only would go back, I do go back. And I consider myself picky generally as to where I eat.
So once again, these 1 star reviews should constitute libel or something, since they are entirely not my experience, ever. :-D
Dirty Tables; Cold Eggs; Bad Service – The food is awful! The place is dirty. The service is lousy. The only reason people are lined up to eat here is because it's one of very few breakfast places in the south loop. Skip it! Cook your eggs at home!
Exceptionally poor service and Heavy Metal sound ambiance – Having heard about this restaurant from "Check Please" we looked forward to our gastronomic delightful early Saturday morning breakfast!!
LOL!! Were we in for a surprise!!!
The decibel level that greeted us at the door only increased as we were shown to our booth, much louder that 2 riding lawn mowers on a tiny urban lawn coupled with a boom box of gangsta rap music!!!!!
The server was unenthusiastic to see us and brought very old coffee. My dining partner ordered 2 scrambled eggs which looked like 8 scrambled yolks and only received a few tiny bites to confirm the 'unhealthy' taste of the entree. His potatoes were raw. His orange juice was slightly defrosted and syrupy. A hurried drive home eliminated this gastronomic disaster.
My Mediterrean 'omelet' contained 'unhealthy' eggs AND spinach and stayed in my system only long enough to reach the home bathroom, also. The 'burnt' English muffins that I requested came to me cold and uncooked. On the second request, they were only slightly toasted.
We have never experienced such poor service, extensive 'sickening' food, and very, very, very loud ambience, not too mention the overpriced meal from a menu of non-exceptional fare.
Tourists, Chitowners, and suburbanites alike, this restaurant is definitely NOT worth the wait, nor worth your money!!!!!!
Terrible Customer Service---the owner should know better – For over two years my husband and I went to Yolk in the S. Loop almost every weekend, sometimes twice a weekend. Often we waited the 45 minutes-an hour as we always enjoyed our food. I recently called to make a reservation for my husband's30th birthday/my mom's 60th Birthday and even offered to pay a deposit as they apparently changed their reservation policy and do not take them anymore. The hostess told me that my best bet was to carry out. I think that everyone would agree that eggs are not the most practical of "take out" foods.
I saw the owner when I went to his new location yesterday on Wells. I wanted to give him feedback as someone who has patronized his restaurant regularly since it opened, that this "solution" left a sour taste in my mouth. I understand there are rules, but would have hoped, I suppose, that they would have made an exception since we dine there so often. Instead of saying "thank you" he responded by saying that they serve 1200 people per weekend and that they don't need the aggravation of reservations or the $500 breakfast bill our table would have provided. I told him, ok, then we won't be dining in his restaurant anymore, and he said ok. I was dumbfounded that an owner would actually say this to a regular customer. My mom was standing next to me with her mouth on the floor as she was in utter disbelief as well.
There are SO many amazing places to dine in this city. I will never give someone with this much arrogance a dime of my money again. Clearly the owner of Yolk does not value loyal customers. If I were you I would take your money and spend it elsewhere where they care about your business. Hash Browns, Bongo Room, and Gioco all serve great brunch in the S. Loop. Feast (both locations), Cafe de Lucca (in Bucktown), Oak Tree, Nookies, Orange and Hot Chocolate are all great options as well.
Tasteless and TERRIBLE – We were so excited to eat here b/c we always see so many people waiting outside. We were starving and ready to have some amazing breakfast... OMG it was AWFUL!!!!!!! I had a skillet which tasted like nothing. It was a bunch of huge chunks of veggies and potatoes and I still am flabbergasted at how you can screw that up... but seriously, there was NO taste! My husband got the California omlette, and it too was AWFUL!!!!!!!! It was like eating a handful of green onions right out of the ground. And it was green in color! The eggs had NO flavor. I ordered fruit instead of bread (which was $2 extra) and I got 3 orange slices, a slice of cantaloupe, and a watermelon wedge. It didn't even taste like fruit it tasted like water. I wish I had at least 1 good thing here... wow really really bad.

SMRP, the Society for Maintenance & Reliability Professionals ("by professionals for professionals") has been celebrating its 20th Anniversary throughout 2012. Held in Orlando, FL, last month, this year's annual conference wasn't just a nod to two great decades, it was among the best of the best SMRP events ever.
It also offered one of the most revealing looks into the future of "maintenance and reliability" and our role in helping maintenance and reliability professionals prepare for that future.
But first, let's look at who/what made this year's annual event a success:
Attendees reflected a cross-section of industry types. Their companies represented the full spectrum of manufacturing and assembly, petro-chemical, specialty chemicals, fertilizers, foods, pharmaceuticals, primary metals, cement, mining, pulp and paper, healthcare, wood products, auto automotive manufacturing, pipelines, building materials, engineering services, power generation, public utilities and more. The attendees' job roles included senior executives, management, supervision, team leads, technicians of all types, maintenance mechanics and electricians, planners, schedulers, storeroom specialists and engineers of all types, from both union and non-union companies. While the audience was made up primarily by individuals in maintenance and reliability roles, it was punctuated with a number of others in production-operations and business-administration roles.
Many skilled and knowledgeable attendees of all ages proudly sported their Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP) and their Certified Maintenance and Reliability Technician (CMRT) badge ribbons for all to see. Certification exams were also offered to those who had not yet achieved these globally recognized and respected distinctions.
This year's annual conference offered 24 day-long workshops, 60 conference sessions and five outstanding local facility tours for intensive learning, plus networking with special interest groups, task forces and committees. Beyond that, one of the most valuable benefits came from networking with others from diverse groups and industries and exploring what new tools and technologies the nearly 70 vendor displays had to offer. This is the place where the serious maintenance and reliability professionals meet, learn, share and develop life-long professional friendships.
Thinking back to the beginnings of SMRP
Of course, there were those of us who attended the very first SMRP conference in Nashville, TN, in 1993. That one was a truly memorable event, with over 250 in attendance—well up from the hoped-for number of 160 to break even! From that point on, the organizers and their followers continued to bring on dozens of like-thinking volunteers, recruits and kindred souls to spread the word and grow the unparalleled benefits of the SMRP. It took passion and action to build this association to attract and develop true professionals in maintenance and reliability across countless business and industry sectors. It took a powerful vision among SMRP's founders to set the stage for professional development and growth in workplace disciplines that were not always among the most appreciated: maintenance and reliability.
Discussions about future trends and roles of maintenance and reliability pros started with gusto at that first SMRP conference in Nashville. On the technical discipline side, we were learning about Reliability Centered Maintenance from the late John Moubray—who had launched his RCM-II book in the USA in 1992. Fresh from the UK and hot off the press, the passion reflected in Moubray's book on the subject of RCM was unbounded.
At the same time, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), with its focus on both the people and technical sides of maintenance, was gaining momentum. My own passion was for TPM, having learned the principles several years earlier through Seiichi Nakajima, the father of this methodology, as well as through ongoing work with several clients on their transformations.
We had many a debate at SMRP (often fueled by Maintenance Technology's Founding (and long-serving) Editor Bob Baldwin) in panel discussions and over beverages: "So, will it be RCM or TPM, Engineering-technical solutions or culture change?" Baldwin would ask. While John Moubray's emphasis was clearly "RCM," we would eventually agree that the answer to both questions was "YES." (BTW: John Moubray passed away in January 2004, leaving with us huge legacy and his great passion for RCM-II).
Let the generational shift begin…
From my perspective, the 2012 SMRP conference served as a real window to our future. The "old guard" (Sorry guys… I'm one too) rubbed shoulders with rapidly growing numbers of young, bright-eyed, hungry-for-learning professionals and soon-to-be leaders in their industries and the SMRP. The gray hairs were teaching the new guard, and the new guard was telling stories of early successes from their own maintenance and reliability journeys. In some cases, long-time attendees had already passed the torch to their younger counterparts or were teaming at this year's event as mentors and coaches.
But, it's not just a human generational shift that's taking place: There's more—much more—shifting in our profession. Maintenance and reliability is rapidly becoming a bigger competitive business advantage.
The new maintenance and reliability
The spectrum of "maintenance and reliability" is being expanded at a rapid pace. In many cases, this expansion is being accelerated because of a grossly under-estimated skills shortage coupled with the demands for longer-lived, more reliable, more profitable, safer and sustainable plants and facilities.
On one end of the spectrum are the technicians and maintainers: These are the folks that are graduating from turning wrenches to operating the new-tech tools of our trade. Their social networking and instant access to information on the World Wide Web easily surpasses anything that existed 20 years ago.
On the other end of the spectrum is the emerging field of "strategic asset management"—powerful concepts for the future of physical capital-intensive businesses —represented by PAS 55 and ISO 55000. These global best practices are starting to show significant results in cost savings, performance and reliability improvements associated with the hard assets we're used to dealing with: equipment, process systems and facilities.
Maintenance and reliability technicians are hungry for knowledge and skills. They want to hit the ground running in their roles—if they're not already in the race. Their needs are often different from what was traditionally offered through the SMRP. Basic maintenance skills refreshers and best practices for the plant-floor level are sorely needed due to failing public schools and decades of decline in trade and technical schools.
Yes, some of these schools may be coming back. But there's a generation of maintainers who have missed out on the skill sets needed in industry today (and tomorrow). They've learned on the job, from vendors and suppliers and from workshops and short courses. They're hungry for so much more. We need to figure out the best ways of delivering to them.
Strategic asset management is a whole new field on our horizon. But, it is much more than merely complying with PAS 55 and IS0 55000 for Asset Management. These new asset-management specifications and standards will require a whole new set of skills and knowledge beyond the technical reliability skills we've honed and fine-tuned for the past 20 years.
Asset management as codified in PAS 55 and ISO 55000 will require the skills of understanding strategic business cases, collaboration with others who are not typically part of the maintenance and reliability scope of work, and much more. People skills as well as technical skills will be in demand in our profession. Why? Maintenance and reliability management is a very small, but essential, subset of asset lifecycle management. We must master a variety of interdependent relationships and partnerships for the future of our assets and to be successful as maintenance and reliability professionals.
Now is the time to begin learning what is embodied in the new Asset Management specifications and standards. Because when it comes, it will likely be aimed at our businesses by business outsiders, launched by senior executives and sweep across our plants and facilities much like ISO-9000 Quality Management did a few decades ago. Insurance companies, investors and owners will likely demand it—and plant leadership will respond accordingly. Maintenance and reliability professionals have a considerable body of knowledge and best practices to apply to Asset Management, but we must learn how to engage ourselves in the process without trying to use the technical jargon of our trade.
Conquering new frontiers
The new frontiers for maintenance and reliability professionals will include—but extend well beyond—the foundations of maintenance and maintenance-management best practices. These frontiers will reach much further than reliability and maintainability, RCM and TPM and the latest EAM software. Strategic advantage will go to those businesses that can demonstrate better than best-in-class asset performance and reliability throughout the entire lifecycle of their equipment and facilities.
The Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals is a leading-edge organization with access to tens of thousands of members' experiences that we can harness in taking charge of our future. New frontiers are ready and waiting for us. Now is the time to learn, to grow and to challenge the traditional paradigms of maintenance and reliability. Now is the time for a whole new body of knowledge. Make it personal and prepare for the future. Thank you, SMRP, for 20 inspiring and wonderful years. MT

This trial can be considered sensational and worthy of media attention. But, to this date, scant, if any, attention has been given to it. Major news networks like NBC and popular websites like Huffington Post haven't covered the trial. Pictures of empty courtroom benches reserved for the press have been posted on the Internet. Even newspapers such as The Anniston Star have not deemed this trial important enough to mention. A search for "Kermit Gosnell trial" on the Anniston Star website revealed nothing.
It is shameful that the mainstream media, The Star included, have chosen to protect the liberal left's pro-abortion policies by ignoring a story that puts abortion in a bad light. "Attorney for the most defenseless"? What is more defenseless than a newborn baby?
Shame on you, Anniston Star. Shame on all the major news media.

Insurance giant AIG's political clout is waning as fast as its finances. Since its near-collapse and government bailout last fall, AIG disbanded its lobbying team. It hasn't donated a dollar from its political action committee this year. Furthermore, contributions from individual AIG employees since January are merely a sliver of what they've been in previous cycles -- although a few notable politicians retain financial or political ties to the embattled company. Among these lawmakers is Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, who pledged to return contributions from AIG employees who got post-bailout bonuses but has nonetheless retained tens of thousands of dollars from them given before the bailout.
- Hedge Funds, Private Equity Firms, Payday Lenders Seek Financial Security from CongressNovember 30, 2009 12:43 PM
Legislation aimed at regulating the securities and investment industry is as complex as the industry itself. But the trade groups representing these interests all seem to have at least one thing in common: they fear additional government regulation will damage their business, which especially concerns them given the ailing economy.
- Finance and Credit Companies Lobby Lawmakers As Congress Moves to Aggressively Regulate ThemNovember 19, 2009 11:25 AM
The various companies and trade groups within the finance and credit industry have contributed about $62.4 million to federal candidates, committees and leadership PACs since 1989, with 62 percent of that sum going to Republicans. In the 2008 election cycle, however, the employees and political action committees of these organizations directed a majority of their money to Democrats for the first time since the 1990 election.
- Insurers Seek Cover From New Federal RegulationsNovember 18, 2009 4:13 PM
Risk and uncertainty are as certain as death and taxes. So, to share the burden of risk and hedge against the full financial liability, companies have long offered consumers a variety of insurance products. Facing the prospect of new regulation, the insurance industry is on pace to break a record $154 million it spent on federal lobbying efforts last year. During the first nine months of this year, insurers spent $122 million and hired 953 lobbyists.
- Real Estate, On the Wane, Fights to Stay Politically Relevant Amid Financial ReformNovember 17, 2009 4:46 PM
Mass property foreclosures and plunging property prices precipitating a veritable real estate crisis last year, compounded more recently by a glut of available credit that in turn has flash-frozen property buying. It's ugly. It's costly. And the federal government wants to ensure that the risky mortgage products that in part helped hurl the nation headlong into this mess are strictly regulated.
- Chuck Grassley Challenger Roxanne Conlin Gave Big to Democrats, Trial LawyersNovember 9, 2009 6:40 PM
Attorney Roxanne Conlin today announced her intention to run for the U.S. Senate seat held by Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), providing the veteran lawmaker with some notable and potentially well-financed competition. With a strong pedigree in Iowa politics, she brings supporters with deep pockets, and the ability to draw on her own personal wealth. A CRP analysis shows that Conlin, and her husband, James, have contributed nearly $360,000 to federal candidates and committees over the past 20 years.
- When Playing Politics, Major League Baseball Favors New York Over PennsylvaniaOctober 28, 2009 11:56 AM
Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig would never � never! -- think of rooting for the New York Yankees over the Philadelphia Phillies during the 2009 World Series, which begins tonight at Yankees Stadium. But Selig is hardly agnostic when politics are concerned. The political action committee controlled by his office finds itself in a decidedly New York state of mind, according to a Center for Responsive Politics analysis of federal campaign finance data.
- Medical-Device Makers Take Senate Finance Bill to the Surgical TableOctober 6, 2009 3:55 PM
As the Senate Finance Committee continues to hash out the final version of its health care reform legislation, medical-device makers are lobbying against $40 billion in fees the industry will have to pay over the next 10 years if the bill remains as is.
- Lawmakers Get One-Two Punch of Money From Health Industry Special InterestsOctober 1, 2009 11:11 AM
A new collaborative investigation between the Sunlight Foundation and Center for Responsive Politics shows that since January 2007, more than 500 individual lobbyists donated roughly $2.8 million to 61 members of Congress who took money from at least 10 lobbyists and also received money from their clients' PACs or employees. Among the recipients were 11 senators who sit on the Senate Finance Committee.
- Hidden �Bundles� of Lobbyist Giving Show Full Court Press by Health Care DonorsOctober 1, 2009 9:00 AM
A month-long collaborative investigation by the Sunlight Foundation and the Center for Responsive Politics has uncovered never-before-seen webs of campaign contributions from outside lobbyists and their clients, who are all important players in the healthcare reform, to key members of Congress.
- Center for Responsive Politics Health Care Tools Help You Follow the MoneySeptember 17, 2009 4:09 PM
Given the popularity of the four health care tools we provided in our "Diagnosis: Reform" series, we've decided to put those charts together in one place and update them as we get data from the Federal Election Commission and Senate Office of Public Records.
- Arlen Specter, Barack Obama -- Cognizant of Labor's Financial Support -- Address AFL-CIOSeptember 15, 2009 5:59 PM
In a speech to the AFL-CIO in Pittsburgh today, Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.), told union members that he and a group of senators are successfully compromising with labor leaders on the industry's legislative priority, the Employee Free Choice Act. Democrats have overwhelmingly received more financial support from unions, though Specter did not mention whether the legislation's key provision would be part of the deal.
- Capital Eye Opener: Tuesday, September 15September 15, 2009 8:00 AM
THE RICHER AND POORER: Roll Call has released their annual 50 Richest Members of Congress list, finding that members returning from last year lost 10 percent of their wealth during 2008. Their top 50 are worth almost $171 million less than the previous batch.
- Lawyers, Doctors, Give Cash to Sway Tort Reform Elements in Health Care DebateSeptember 8, 2009 5:48 PM
When President Barack Obama gives his much-anticipated speech about health care Wednesday night before a joint session of Congress, he won't likely address medical malpractice reform, much to the chagrin of the country's doctors. Given that health professionals are the second largest contributor this election cycle to candidates and party committees, they might feel slighted by the president's omission.
- Conservative Group Seeks to Dent Senator Arlen Specter's War Chest by Telling His Donors to Ask for RefundsSeptember 1, 2009 12:45 PM
The Federal Election Commission has allowed the conservative Club for Growth to contact Sen. Arlen Specter's campaign donors to inform them of Specter's offer to refund contributions made before the long-time Republican switched parties to become a Democrat earlier this year.
- Some Politicos Distance Themselves From Embattled Hassan Nemazee, But Not All. Yet.August 26, 2009 2:08 PM
Embattled political financier Hassan Nemazee, who faces decades in prison after federal authorities arrested him for allegedly attempting to secure a fradulent loan from Citigroup, has donated money to 75 federal political candidates, a Center for Responsive Politics analysis indicates.
- And They're Off: Congressional Fundraising Races UnderwayAugust 17, 2009 5:37 PM
Nearly 1,400 candidates have filed campaign finance reports with the Federal Election Commission, indicating that they'll be vying for one of the 468 congressional seats that will open up next year. It won't feel like a quick sprint, however, especially for those candidates in particularly close races who've already raised millions of dollars. We know the final stretch is a ways off yet, but here are our early observations, including contributions reported between April and June.
- Capital Eye Opener: Monday, August 17August 17, 2009 10:00 AM
DONOR DO-NOT CALL LIST: If you gave cash to Sen. Arlen Specter before his switch from the GOP to the Democratic party, you might want to make sure your caller ID is working properly.
- Contributions from Health Sector to Lawmakers Increased 7 Percent in Second QuarterAugust 14, 2009 4:20 PM
Federal lawmakers collected about half a million dollars more from the health sector between April and June of this year than they did in the first quarter of the year -- a total of $15.3 million for 2009. This slight boost is likely the result of the increased intensity of the health care reform debate.
- Big Money Senate Race in Pennsylvania Heats Up With Joe Sestak Announcing Official Challenge to Arlen SpecterAugust 4, 2009 12:25 PM
One of the nation's hottest U.S. Senate contests is officially off to the races, as Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) today is officially challenging incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter, a long-time Republican who switched his party allegiance to become a Democrat earlier this year.
- Fence-sitting Senators Say the Darnedest Things About Health Care ReformJuly 9, 2009 6:30 PM
Interest groups have filled lawmakers' campaign coffers with cash, and spent millions on lobbyists to promote their positions. So it's not entirely surprising that some lawmakers can't make up their minds on health care reform. Here are a handful of examples of members of the Senate, who have tried to position themselves on multiple sides of the health care debate.
- Murtha�s Warchest Includes Cash from Embattled Defense Contractor KucheraMay 29, 2009 5:31 PM
While Kuchera Defense Systems' recent troubles may not have anything to do with Rep. John Murtha (D-Penn.), the congressman can't deny a strong financial connection to the contractor: In addition to the millions he's secured in earmark funds for the company, he has also collected more political funds from employees at Kuchera than any other current member of Congress since 1992.
- Capital Eye Report: Credit Rating Agencies Under Fire Drop More Dollars on Political Influence May 14, 2009 4:02 PM
As Congress and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) eye new rules and regulations to ameliorate the financial turmoil, credit rating agencies are coming under increased scrutiny and are reaching out to K Street for a helping hand.
- Vote Highlights Tension For Senators Between Constituents, FundersMay 1, 2009 5:04 PM
The finance, insurance & real estate sector has been the No. 1 career contributor to six of twelve Democratic senators who voted against a bill that the industry opposed.
- Senator Arlen Specter Leaves the GOP, Will His Contributors Follow Him?April 28, 2009 6:25 PM
Embattled Sen. Arlen Specter became a Democrat today, a move that could attract new donors and turn others off.
- Club for Growth Eyes Lawmaker It Funded for Group's PresidentApril 9, 2009 11:21 AM
The conservative Club for Growth is in the market for a new leader and will reportedly tap a former member of Congress who depended on the group's cash to win his elections. The $157,800 that Rep. Chris Chocola (R-Ind.) collected from the group during his time in office only got him so far, however, and he lost his re-election bid in 2006 against Democrat Joe Donnelly.
- Public Financing Advocates Await Bill for Congressional ContestsMarch 26, 2009 12:55 PM
House members raised an average of nearly $2,000 a day during the 2008 election cycle--and for their Senate counterparts, the amount was more than double--but legislation that is set to be proposed in both chambers of Congress might drastically reduce the cost of running for office and the pressure to chase dollars every day.
- Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense CommitteesFebruary 12, 2009 1:55 PM
The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
- Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank RegulationSeptember 23, 2008 11:43 AM
The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.
- Lawmakers Keep Quiet on Journalist Shield LawAugust 5, 2008 3:34 PM
Here at the Center for Responsive Politics, we're used to demanding more disclosure and transparency from our lawmakers, but it's another story for lawmakers to demand greater disclosure from journalists. Senate Republicans, whose campaign contributions from the print industry are at the lowest they've been since 1989, have blocked debate on a law that would protect journalists from being forced to reveal confidential sources.
- Big Donor Goldman Sachs Turns a ProfitJune 23, 2008 8:56 AM
Even as Wall Street remains in a slump, Goldman Sachs, the world's largest investment bank, is no stranger to being on top. Not only did it bring in a profit of $2.1 billion last quarter, it is the top campaign contributor in the securities and investment industry so far this election cycle.
- Oil/Gas Shareholders in Senate Hear Testimony from Industry ExecsMay 21, 2008 4:44 PM
With gas prices the highest they've ever been, the oil and gas executives who testified this morning before the Senate Judiciary Committee had to feel like they were in the hot seat. But as they were being grilled about skyrocketing prices, they could take some comfort in the strong financial relationship their industry has with lawmakers, including those on the committee.
- Oil Company in Scandal Gave Outside of AlaskaMay 9, 2007 6:53 PM
VECO executives and employees have contributed $1 million to federal politicians and parties since 1989, Center finds. In Alaska, lawmakers have rushed to dump the money.

The Chicago Cubs signed pitcher James McDonald to a minor-league contract on Friday, according to a report.
The former Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander received an invitation to join the Cubs in spring training, 670thescore.com reported, and could compete for a spot in Chicago's starting rotation in 2014.
The 29-year-old McDonald started six games in 2013 for the Pirates and went 2-2 with a 5.76 ERA in 29 2/3 innings before a strained shoulder ended his season. He was designated for assignment in September.
In four seasons with the Pirates, McDonald posted a 27-24 record with a 4.21 ERA in 78 games, including 77 starts. He began his big-league career with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2008 and went 5-6 with a 4.11 ERA in parts of three seasons.
