Early on, when the number of iPhone apps was in the thousands, the App Store was a good way for users to find apps and for developers to bring their apps to the attention of users. Now that there are over 200,000 apps, the App Store isn't that helpful.
When you do a search on a topic in the iTunes store, you might get hundreds of results. They are displayed in no particular order and there is no way to sort them according to most popular, best-selling, free vs. paid, etc. The 20 broad categories also aren't that useful, since there are so many apps that don't obviously fit any particular category. Fortunately, the Internet can help. In this article, I'll point you to some useful lists of the best apps.

Open, transparent government efforts merit more progress needed
Tuesday - 9/18/2012, 3:38am EDT
The Obama administration promised "an unprecedented level of openness in government."
The Open Government Directive, released in late 2009, aimed to lay the cornerstone for new levels of government transparency. It set new requirements for agencies to post government information online to "promote informed participation by the public," to improve the quality of that government data and to inculcate a "culture of open government."
|Why Open/Transparent Government was rated More Progress Needed
Reason #1: White House issued policies for openness and transparency.
Reason #2: However, the quality and usefulness of data has been questioned.
Reason #3: There's been only minimal participation in blogs and forums around data "communities."
(More primary source material available on The Obama Impact Resource Page)
As part of the directive, each individual agency was required to publish its own transparency plan and agency datasets were collected and stored on Data.gov.
But along with that monumental effort have been persistent questions about whether agencies have actually made progress on the administration's aims. Some open gov advocates have criticized the website for a lack of high-quality and usable government data.
For those reasons, when it comes to creating a more open, transparent government, Federal News Radio believes more progress is needed. As part of Federal News Radio's special report, The Obama Impact: Evaluating the Last Four Years, Federal News Radio examines 23 different ideas and initiatives instituted by the Obama Administration and ranks them as effective, ineffective and more progress needed.

The administration has definitely put an "emphasis" on improving transparency in government, said Darrell West, vice president and director of Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution. West, the founding director of Brookings' Center for Technology Innovation.
"They have put a huge number of data sets into the public domain; they set up a website — Data.gov, where people can go and see all sorts of information in terms of consumer safety, airport problems and environmental problems," West said. "So, I would give the administration good grades for their efforts to improve transparency and openness."
However, ever since the initiative was launched, there have been complaints of the quality of the data posted on Data.gov, for example.
"That certainly is a continuing challenge, not just for government, but that's also true in the business sector as well," West said. "What we're trying to do is to create these data-sharing networks so we can take advantage of the wealth of information that is out there."
Besides the specific technological changes required for the administration's transparency efforts, West pointed to another hurdle.
"Changing the culture is the biggest challenge but, if you can make progress there, also the biggest beneficiary," he said. "And I think there has been some progress in this area, but it really varies a lot across different parts of the federal government."
West said before 9/11 there was similarly a big push to put information online and be more transparent. "But after 9/11, the federal government pulled back, started to emphasize security over transparency."
"Over the last decade, we've really spent trying to navigate those two competing poles: the impulse toward being more open and being more transparent on the one hand, but also protecting security especially in the digital realm," West said.

Book Description HTML | Report this book
An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is a book by the Scottish empiricist philosopher David Hume, published in 1748. It was a revision of an earlier effort, Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature, published anonymously in London in 1739–40. Hume was disappointed with the reception of the Treatise, which "fell stillborn from the press,"[1] as he put it, and so tried again to disseminate his more developed ideas to the public by writing a shorter and more polemical work. The end product of his labours was the Enquiry. The Enquiry dispensed with much of the material from the Treatise, in favor of clarifying and emphasizing its most important aspects. For example, Hume's views on personal identity do not appear. However, more vital propositions, such as Hume's argument for the role of habit...

Actor Sebastian Stan Is Our Latest Obsession – The Daily Swoon
Sebastian Stan may not be a name you're too familiar with right now, but get ready to be obsessed after checking out this dreamy dude.
You may have seen Sebastian Stan on the TV show 'Once Upon a Time,' in which he played Jefferson/Mad Hatter in six episodes. Or you may have seen him in 'Captain America: The First Avenger,' playing Chris Evans' BFF and sidekick, Bucky Barnes, and giving us two sexy men for the ticket price of one.
The actor's been around for a while, flying just under our sexy-radar with roles in 'Hot Tub Time Machine,' 'Rachel Getting Married,' 'The Apparition,' and TV shows like 'Political Animals' and 'Gossip Girl.' In addition to acting in movies and on TV, Stan has a BFA in acting and stars in legit stage plays.
But today I wish to familiarize all of you with this man who is my latest obsession and should be yours, too. Just wait until you see him again on the big screen next spring in 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier.' You won't be able to decide between staring at him or staring at Chris Evans. (You can't do both at the same time, sorry.)
Enjoy some pics of your new favorite sexy actor and thank me later.

One Kiss From You
One Kiss From You (Mass Market Paperback)
A bold woman known as the "duchess of Magnus" was wagered—and won—in a card game. But the woman who arrived was her shy, quiet cousin Eleanor.
Eleanor de Lacy must have been mad to agree to exchange identities with her stronger-willed cousin. She would never convince Remington Knight of the folly of this union—especially since the man seemed so determined for it to take place. Worse still, she finds Remington dazzlingly attractive—and she's charmed by his attempts to seduce her, even though he believes she is already his. But if he ever learns of Eleanor's deception, this daring rogue will wreak havoc . . . upon her reputation and her heart.
Remington had expected a haughty, unbending aristocrat who would ensure his entrance into good society. But this "duchess" is a most pleasant surprise—modest, warm-hearted, endearingly awkward, and a delight to the eye. In short, she is exactly the sort of bride Remington could fall passionately, completely in love with . . .
. . . if he weren't so intent on his revenge.

Obama attempting to change face of the judiciary
Friday - 2/15/2013, 4:30pm EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is trying to change the face of a federal judiciary that has a long tradition of white men passing judgment on parties from all walks of life -- if he can get his nominees past the Senate.
Republicans have used the powers accorded the Senate minority party to slow Obama's influence on the federal bench. But recent changes to Senate rules suggest the process may begin to move faster, at least at the lower, U.S. District Court level.
Under a recent bipartisan agreement, the Senate will limit debate on district court judge nominees to two hours, far below the 30 hours that used to be allowed. The hope is that it will curtail a tradition dating to the Clinton administration of the president's opposing party stalling judicial nominees.
Democrats also used the tactic on some of President George W. Bush's nominees, but the delays have been particularly long under Obama.
Nearly half of Obama's nominees have waited for more than 100 days for confirmation votes, while less than 10 percent of Bush's waited that long, according to White House figures. Most of the Bush nominees were approved in less than a month after clearing the Senate Judiciary Committee, the White House said.
Michael L. Shenkman, a fellow at the Center for Law and Politics at Columbia Law School who worked on Obama's judicial nominations team in the first two years of his presidency, calculated that district judge vacancies across the country represented more than 275 lost years of judicial work and $160 million in wasted public resources during Obama's first term.
"Having an empty bench means people don't get their cases heard," Shenkman said, adding that federal law requires judges to give priority to criminal cases, so civil cases can face repeated delays. "It makes litigation more frustrating and more expensive."
Nationwide, 90 out of 874 federal judgeships are vacant, with 31 of those vacancies labeled emergencies by the judiciary because of heavy caseloads. The Senate Judiciary Committee approved 13 of Obama's nominees Thursday.
White House press secretary Jay Carney argues that the judges approved by the committee are "extremely well-qualified" and "reflect the president's unprecedented commitment to a judiciary that reflects the nation it serves." The group of 13 includes eight women, six minorities and one openly gay candidate.
"This needless delay is unacceptable, and these nominees deserve immediate consideration by the full Senate," Carney said.
White House officials express little hope that the Senate will change its ways.
They point to Wednesday's confirmation of William Kayatta of Maine to the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston. Kayatta's nomination a year ago was supported by both of Maine's Republican senators. But other Republicans in the Senate refused to agree to a vote because of election-year politics, so Obama had to renominate Kayatta again this year, even though he ultimately won confirmation without much controversy and with 88 votes in support.
Caroline Fredrickson, president of the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy, says the change in Senate rules still won't impact nominees to the federal circuit, where appeals are heard and judges have more influence. "Where I'm worried is that on the circuit court nominees, there will be a lot of delay and obstruction that's completely unrelated to anyone's merits," she said.
Despite the delays, Obama was able to make some progress on diversity in his first term, with more black, Hispanic and openly gay federal judges confirmed than in two terms under Bush, according to the White House. Nearly half of Obama's confirmed judges have been women, compared with about a quarter for Bush and Clinton, the White House said.
Obama hopes to build on that diversity in his second term. Only seven of 36 nominations the president currently has pending are of straight white men. Compare that to the makeup of the roughly 780 judges currently active on the federal bench, where 425 are white men, according to the Federal Judicial Center. There are small percentages of minorities -- 96 black judges, 70 Hispanic and 17 Asian.
In the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals based in St. Louis, a group called the Infinity Project was formed to promote more gender equality, with just one woman ever having been appointed to serve on the circuit. Executive Director Debra Fitzpatrick argues that a diverse bench enhances a court's legitimacy by reflecting the population on which it passes judgment.
"You can't always predict when and how and in what ways a person's personal experience will illuminate a case," Fitzpatrick said. She pointed to the case of an Arkansas prisoner named Shawanna Nelson convicted of check and credit card fraud who filed a lawsuit over being shackled to a hospital bed while in labor.

Bertram Yachts were made famous by pioneering the use of the deep-V hull design, which is still in use today. But Bertrams have come a long way since their beginning, over 50 years ago. More lately, Bertram design influences includes Ferretti and Zuccon International, which resulted in interiors that push the bounds of luxury and opulence. Bertrams also feature the latest in technology, like gyroscopic anti-roll systems, exemplary communications and entertainment systems, and advanced window designs.

PEMBROKE — The Pembroke Town Council on Monday rezoned 15 acres of land outside of town to accommodate the construction of apartments and townhouses in the Hunter's Run subdivision.
The councilmen also postponed until Oct. 23 a public hearing on a proposed solar farm in Pembroke.
The land, which was rezoned from from a Residential to a Multiple-Family, is part of the 135- to 140-acre subdivision that would be built near Candy Park Road and N.C. 711 and include shops and a movie theater. No date has been set to start construction.
"We're ready and raring to move forward," said Todd Meckley, president of Entasis Designs, the architectural firm that will oversee construction.
Town Manager Oryan Lowry said the subdivision would benefit Pembroke.
"I've been working with them on this project for the last six months," Lowry said, adding that the subdivision would "actually [be] offering entertainment value to the town."
The Town Council made its decision during the second public hearing held on Hunter's Run.
Brian Jacobs, a pastor at Our Freedom Ministries Church, said he wants to move his congregation from the Revels Funeral Home chapel to a new sanctuary on Candy Park Road.
"Our worship services can get pretty loud," he said. "I wouldn't want to get a phone call or a visit from the Pembroke Police Department telling us to turn our music down."
Meckley said Entasis will try to accommodate the needs of the church and subdivision during construction.
"We'll keep as much natural vegetation as we can between the houses and church property," he said.
Mayor Milton Hunt said the church and Hunter's Run can coexist peacefully.
The council was expected to hold a public hearing on a proposed solar farm on Monday, but Town Attorney Gary Locklear said the matter must go before the Planning Board before the Town Council can make a decision.
The Planning Board's next meeting is on Oct. 22 at 4 p.m. The councilmen decided to move the public hearing to Oct. 23 at 7 p.m.
"It's better to err on the side of caution and postpone this hearing," Locklear said. "I apologize to the folks who are here tonight and expected a hearing."
In other business, the Town Council:
— Heard a report from police Officer Eric Locklear, who said the department will bring in officers from surrounding towns on Oct. 31 to provide extra security for trick-or-treaters, the Peace in the Park Giggles and Ghouls event and The University of North Carolina at Pembroke's Homecoming parade.
— Heard a report from Loretta Smith, chair of the ABC Board, who said "we've had one of the best months since we've been open." Smith credited the televised football game between UNCP and Winston-Salem State University on Sept. 5 for the spike in alcohol sales.

Government Switchboard
Tel: 441.295.5151
Throughout most of Bermuda's History, the majority of Bermudians could not vote in General Elections, or run as Parliamentary candidates. This was because only owners of property of a certain value and above had the right to vote and to offer themselves as election candidates. For a very long period of time, these privileges were limited to male property owners only.
In 1834, when slavery was abolished in Bermuda and throughout the British colonies, the property value qualification was increased. Changes in the franchise were slow, but after a long, hard struggle, women were finally enfranchised in 1944. Universal adult suffrage took longer. The General Election of 1968 was the first election in Bermuda in which every one, twenty-one years old and over, could vote and in which the property vote did not play a role. It was not until the General Election of 1993 that all persons aged eighteen years and over, were entitled to cast a vote.
In 2004, Bermuda's Parliament is 384 years old. The first elected Assembly was convened in St. Peter's Church, St. George's on 1 August, 1620 and consisted of thirty-six members. While Parliament had the authority to pass legislation and monitor and control the island's finances, the Governor had the authority to veto any law passed. When the Capital of the island was moved from St. George's to Hamilton, Parliament followed and met in the Town Hall (the current site of Supreme Court No.3) from 1815 to 1826, when it moved to its present location.
Over the years, the Bermuda Parliament assumed more and more responsibility for governing the island. The most dramatic change took place in 1968 with universal adult suffrage and a new Constitution. As a result, the Bermuda Parliament was substantially strengthened and the elected government became almost totally responsible for running its affairs- although Bermuda remained a British colony. The Bermuda Parliament is modeled on the Westminster system, with an Upper House and a Lower House- the Lower, being the elected House of Assembly and the Upper, the appointed Senate.
Until the General Election of 2003, there were forty Members elected to the House of Assembly; representing the twenty dual-seat constituencies into which Bermuda's nine Parishes were divided.
As a result of a 2001 Order-in-Council and a subsequent 2002 Constitutional amendment, Bermuda now has thirty-six single seat constituencies, which closely approximate an equable voter distribution.
In Bermuda's last election, held on 24 July 2003, the Progressive Labour Party won a second term as Government, with a total of twenty-two seats in the House of Assembly compared with fourteen seats won by the United Bermuda Party.
The Premier, along with eleven other elected Progressive Labour Party members of Parliament, comprise the Cabinet, the Executive arm of government; which under the Westminster principle of collective responsibility, makes most of the major decisions on how the country is run.
The Mace is the symbol of the Authority of the Speaker. It is carried by the Sergeant-at-Arms when the Speaker enters the Chamber at the commencement of a sitting and again when the Speaker leaves. While the Speaker is in the Chair, the Mace rests in brackets on the top of the Clerk's Table. The Speaker keeps order by means of a gavel, made from the remains of a cedar tree which had grown in St. Peter's churchyard, the site of the first Parliament in 1620. In common with most legislative bodies, it is the practice of the House of Assembly to debate the detail of a measure in a Committee of the Whole House. When this is agreed by the adoption of an appropriate motion, the Speaker leaves his chair, after having appointed a Chairman to preside over the Committee. The Chairman takes a seat at the Clerk's Table in a chair provided immediately below the Speaker's Chair and on the Clerk's right. When the Speaker leaves the Chair and the House is sitting in Committee of the Whole House, the Mace is removed from the top of the table and placed on brackets on the face of the table. This is known as 'placing the Mace under the Table.' This is done to emphasize that the House, at these times, is not sitting in full session, but is in the Committee stage of its proceedings. The Mace is also always carried in front of the Speaker in the procession from the House in response to the Governor's command at the convening of Parliament, and also on certain other ceremonial occasions. The Mace was made in London by Garrard and Company in 1920 of silver gilt to commemorate the tercentenary of the institution of Parliamentary Government in Bermuda. Officers of the House The Speaker of the House is chosen from among the elected Members of the House of Assembly. The election of Speaker takes place during the first meeting of Parliament following a General election. Once elected, the Speaker sheds all Party allegiance and conducts the meetings of the House impartially. The Deputy Speaker of the House is also chosen from among the elected Members of the House of Assembly. This election also takes place during the first meeting of Parliament following a General Election. The Clerk to the Legislature, together with two Assistant Clerks, is the Speaker's right hand and is responsible for ensuring that all procedural and administrative aspects of the Legislature run smoothly and efficiently. The Sergeant at Arms sits between the public gallery and the members of the House of Assembly to ensure proper order at all times and is largely charged with seeing to the safety and security of members. In addition, the Sergeant at Arms leads the opening procession with the Speaker, carrying the Mace, the Speaker's symbol of authority and is responsible for opening and closing the House of Assembly.
Exterior Standing on the highest eminence within the boundaries of the City of Hamilton, the Sessions House with its clock tower is the most conspicuous building on the city's skyline (although the Bermuda Cathedral's roof line and tower are higher).
The original building was a simple two-story edifice built about the year 1819. Through the years there have been many additions to the original building. The clock tower and Florentine façade were proposed in 1887 to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria, but work started late and the alterations were not completed until 1893.
A medallion of the Queen's head, done in terra cotta, can be seen under an arch on the southern side.
The Bermuda Jubilee Clock has four dials, each seven feet in diameter, cast in one piece. The hands are of copper, strengthened behind with brass. The dials are faced with opal glass and the hands and figures are painted black. The hours are struck on a bell weighing 1750 pounds and measuring four feet across the mouth. The hammer is cast iron and weighs 35 pounds. The wheels are gun metal. The 6-foot pendulum weighs 90 pounds. This clock, with its four faces illuminated by oil lamps, was put into operation for the first time on 31 December, 1891.
The public entrance to the ground floor of the Sessions House is from the eastern end of the building. The large chamber on the ground floor is currently home to Supreme Court Number One. The appointments of the room are simple in keeping with the atmosphere of dignity commonly associated with British Courts of Justice.
Public access to the upper storey is gained through the southeastern tower and via a handsome oak staircase. Inside the entrance, visitors are faced with two sculpted figures, carved by John Thomas, a Welsh stone mason, out of magnesium limestone in the 1840's. The sculptures were part of the exterior decoration of the Palace of Westminster and were a gift to Bermuda from the Houses of Parliament at Westminster.
The figure on the left depicts King William II holding in his hand a model of Westminster Hall and the one on the right is an unidentified companion figure which adjoined that of King John. The heraldic lion in the corner niche has the same origin.
At the top of the stairs, situated on the western wall is a portrait of Bermuda's first woman Parliamentarian, Mrs. Hilda Aitken, elected in 1948. The portrait was unveiled by the Rt. Hon. Baroness Blatch, Minister of State for Education in the House of Lords, as part of the commemorative celebrations the 50th anniversary of the passing of the Woman's Suffrage Act, 1944.
To the left is the main entrance to the large upper storey chamber which is home to the house of Assembly. The room, which was paneled in wood around 1890, is well-proportioned and of rectangular shape. Inside the main door is the public gallery, with seating for visitors on either side of the aisle. The front row on the right side is reserved for members of the media.

Here is what I came up with. Don't be me up
I repeat this in my head everyday to remind myself not to get lost in the 3 karma of body, speech, and mind (3 poisons):
"I have taken refugee in Awakened-Truth-Purity (Buddha-Dharma-Sangha)"
"I have abandoned my refugee in the karma of body, speech, and mind"
"Everything I think and do will be within the the domain of Awakened-Truth-Purity"
"I will not let the 3 karma take control of me"
Karma of body, speech, and mind:
Body =1) Killing 2) Stealing 3) Sexual Misconduct
Speech= 1)Lies (not limited to big lies such as you claim to be enlightened when you are not. You do this to gain fame and wealth and such. You will lead people to the realm of hells and you will also lead yourself to the realm of hells) 2) Sweet talks to seduce or trick people 3) Speech/talks to create conflict among people or groups 4) Speech/talks that make others feel hurt, uncomfortable, in short talks that will bring suffering to others.
Mind=1) 3 poisons=1)Greed (all about indulging the body, obsession), 2)Anger, and 3)Ignorance
So 10 in total.

V-22 Osprey readies for combat
March 12, 2006 EXTENSIVE IMAGE LIBRARY It's been a long road for the Osprey but the aircraft first conceived several decades ago as being uniquely suitable for a wide range of military applications is finally being readied for the battlefront. The first combat-configured CV-22 Osprey left Bell Helicopter in Texas earlier this month and can expected to see action in Iraq and Afghanistan within months, most likely in transporting special operations teams and their gear into and out of action. The Osprey CV-22 converts between airplane and helicopter modes and is twice as fast as any previous VTOL aircraft, but also has significantly enhanced survivability and five times the range, offering operational flexibility beyond its most obvious in delivering specialist military capability to the exact point it is required and retrieving it afterwards.

Awesome demo, thanks Iain! I'd love to hear your take on different hair textures and how they react such as straight hair versus wavey versus super curly. Same goes for wet hair since it can be a real problem if you're not sure how to address it.

Always evacuate. Do not ever assume that the alarm is just a drill; you must evacuate at all times the alarm sounds. Close the door behind you and proceed carefully through your predetermined route. Do not use the elevator. If an exit is blocked, use an alternate path. After you have entered a stairwell, make sure the door closes behind you. Once outside, move away from the building to a Evacuation Assembly Area safe. Do not return to the building until you are instructed to do so.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. - Central Michigan thwarted the Miami University football team's comeback effort and eliminated the RedHawks from postseason play Saturday afternoon with a 30-16 victory at Kelly/Shorts Stadium in Mount Pleasant, Mich.
The RedHawks dropped to 4-7 overall and 3-4 in the Mid-American Conference, while the Chippewas improved to 5-6 and 3-4 in league play.
Junior wide receiver Nick Harwell, who finished with 11 catches for 215 yards, became only the third player in school history to reach the 3,000 career receiving yards milestone. The Missouri City, Texas native also went over the 200-yard mark for the third time in his career. His performance marked the 16th time that he surpassed 100 yards in a game, which was another Miami record.
Senior quarterback Zac Dysert found Harwell streaking up the middle for the RedHawks' first score of the game, a 68-yard game-tying touchdown with 55 seconds to go in the first quarter. The score was the longest touchdown play of the season for Miami.
Dysert finished 26-of-43 passing for 343 yards with a touchdown. He passed Cincinnati's Gino Guidugli and Notre Dame's Brady Quinn, just to name a few, to become the 22nd-ranked passer in NCAA FBS history with 10,795 total yards passing.
Central Michigan, which scored on a Zurlon Tipton 12-yard run with 1:51 left in the opening quarter, struck again twice late in the second to take a 21-7 halftime lead.
After a Dysert interception near the Chippewas' goal line, the hosts drove down the field, capitalizing on a 1-yard TD run by Tipton, his second of the game with 3:54 left in the half.
Central Michigan scored again with 16 seconds left before the break on an 8-yard pass from Ryan Radcliff to tight end Connor Odykirk in the right corner of the endzone.
The RedHawks made it 21-10 after a 39-yard Kaleb Patterson field goal at the 11:14 mark in the third, and then scored early in the fourth on a Dysert 1-yard sneak up the middle. Miami's 2-point conversion attempt failed, however, as Dysert's pass was batted down. Wes Williams' interception, the third of his career, helped set up the Dysert score.
The Chippewas pulled away in the fourth, cruising into the endzone on a 10-yard run with 10:28 remaining, then added a safety with just over a minute to play.
The RedHawks outgained CMU in total offense 434 to 386.
Miami returns home to play Ball State in its regular-season finale Friday, Nov. 23 at Yager Stadium. Game time is 1 p.m.

Committee leadership changes likely after election
Monday - 11/5/2012, 6:14pm EST
The election Tuesday could bring with it a number of changes to the makeup and leadership of key congressional committees with oversight of the federal workforce and management.
The most significant changes would occur if either party retook one of the chambers of Congress it currently does not control. However, Democratic hopes to retake the House have mostly faded. And while Republicans are in much closer sight of winning a majority in the Senate, many analysts predict the Democrats will mantain control there, if only just barely.
Still, retirements, committee term limits and a few close races could make for some leadership changes in key committees.
Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) is retiring.
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is one of the most influential committees when it comes to issues affecting the federal workforce and government management.
And it's also the site of a number of potential leadership changes this year.
Chairman Joseph Lieberman, a Connecticut Independent who caucuses with the Democrats, is retiring at the end of the year, leaving open the top spot on the committee.
Tom Carper (D-Del.), who now chairs the Federal Financial Management Subcommittee, is next in line for the gavel based on seniority, according to K&L Gates, a Washington, D.C., law firm, which published a guide to how congressional committees would be affected by the election.
Also retiring is Sen. Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii), the longtime chairman of the Oversight of Government Management Subcommittee.
Meanwhile, Susan Collins (R-Maine), the ranking member, is barred by term limits from continuing to serve as the committee's top Republican if Democrats retain control of the Senate, according to Niels Lesniewski, a Roll Call staff writer. In that scenario, Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) is slated to become the ranking member.
In addition, two members of the committee have been locked in tight re-election races.
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) is locked in a tight reelection campaign.
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), chairs the Contracting Oversight Committee, where she has played a large role in congressional investigations into wartime contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan. In recent days, she has opened up a modest lead over Republican challenger Todd Akin and Real Clear Politics now lists Missouri as "leans Democratic."
Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.), the ranking member of the financial management subcommittee, is slightly behind in the polls, trailing Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, by single digits, according to recent polls.
It's harder to pin down lines of succession at the subcommittee level with so many changes in the mix, Lesniewski said.
"These are all on ... who goes where at the full committee level as to where the cards fall at the subcommittees," he said in an interview on In Depth with Francis Rose.
House Oversight and Government Reform
The leaders of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee — Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Ranking Member Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) — are both expected to cruise to re-election.
However, the Government Organization, Efficiency and Financial Management Subcommittee will see changes across the board — but not because of the election. Subcommittee Chairman Todd Platts (R-Pa.) and Ranking Member Ed Towns (D-N.Y.) are both retiring at the end of the year.
Rep. Dennis Ross (R-Fla.), chairman of the Federal Workforce Subcommittee, and Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), the ranking member, are both running for re- election.
Armed Services Committees
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is barred by term limits from continuing to serve as ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Analysts do not expect many drastic leadership changes on either the Senate or House Armed Services Committees.
Neither Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) nor John McCain (R-Ariz.), the committee's chairman and ranking member respectively, are up for re-election this year. However, McCain is term-limited as the ranking member, according to the K&L Gates analysis.
Still, there are a few possible and, in some cases, definite shifts in some subcommittee assignments.
McCaskill's continued leadership of the Readiness and Management Support Subcommittee is contingent upon winning re-election to her Missouri Senate seat. Jim Webb (D-Va.), the chairman of the Personnel Subcommittee, has announced he wouldn't seek re-election.
Prospects for minimal leadership changes are similar on the House Armed Services Committee. Both Chairman Howard "Buck" McKeon (R-Calif.) and Ranking Member Adam Smith (D-Wash.) are expected to win re-election.
Appropriations Committees
Rep. Norm Dicks (D-Wash.) is retiring.
Assuming Republicans retain control of the House, as most political analysts now project, the biggest change in leadership on the House Appropriations Committee will be the vacancy created by the top Democrat on the committee, Ranking Member Norm Dicks (D-Wash.), who is retiring.
According to K&L Gates' analysis, that puts Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) or Nita Lowey (D- N.Y.), two of the higher-ranking Democrats on the committee, in the running to replace Dicks.
Lesniewski predicted an internal fight within the Democratic caucus over Dicks' successor.
On the Senate side, Appropriations Committee Chairman Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) is not up for re-election. Ranking Member Thad Cochran (R-Miss), is also not up for re-election; he is, however, restricted by term limits from continuing to serve as ranking member — though not as chairman, if the Republicans were to win a Senate majority.
Other committees
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) would step down as Budget Committee chairman if he's elected vice president.
The House and Senate Budget Committees could be in for some changes.
Republican Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin congressman, now chairs the House Budget Committee, a position that would be vacated if he and Mitt Romney win Tuesday. On the Senate side, committee chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) is retiring, leaving Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), who served on the unsuccessful deficit-cutting supercommittee last fall, next in line for the chairmanship.
John Mica (R-Fla.), chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, is projected to win re-election. However, Mica, who has been at the forefront of the investigation into wasteful spending at the General Services Administration, is term-limited as the committee chairman. POLITICO reported in September that Rep. Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) is next in line to serve in the top leadership spot.

Afra Raymond:
Three myths about corruption
Trinidad and Tobago amassed great wealth in the 1970s thanks to oil. But in 1982, a shocking fact was revealed — that 2 out of every 3 dollars earmarked for development had been wasted or stolen. This has haunted Afra Raymond for 30 years. Shining a flashlight on a continued history of government corruption, Raymond gives us a reframing of financial crime. (Filmed at TEDxPortofSpain.)
