The June 2, 2015, article, The 'Water Witch': Pat Mulroy Preached Conservation While Backing Growth in Las Vegas, misstated how many Western states will face dramatic cuts in their water supplies if the water in Lake Mead falls to emergency levels. Only Nevada and Arizona would face such cuts, not every state in the Colorado River basin.
The March 26, 2015, article, California Workers' Comp Law Gets Criticism, Praise at Senate Hearing, was updated on March 27, 2015. An earlier version may have implied that Alex Swedlow of the California Workers' Compensation Institute said insurers were making medical decisions. Those decisions were made by doctors hired by the insurers.
The March 25, 2015, article, The Fallout of Workers' Comp 'Reforms': 5 Tales of Harm, was updated on March 27, 2015. An earlier version said that Christopher Carter was sent by his employer's insurer for an independent medical exam in Missoula, Montana. Instead, the insurer brought the Missoula physician to Great Falls for the exam.
The Jan. 28, 2015, column, Rent to Own: Wall Street's Latest Housing Trick, incorrectly said that about nine in 10 new mortgages have government backing. Recently, more than seven in 10 new mortgages have government backing, mainly from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
The interactive graphic published on Jan. 12, 2015, The Human Toll of Flashbangs, originally included two passages that had been plagiarized from their sources, CNN and the Washington Post. We have taken what we consider to be the appropriate action with respect to what we are convinced were unintentional mistakes by the author in question, and have now properly attributed the sentences, in the entries for the FBI agent, Donald Bain, James Milligan and Thomas Scanzano.
The Jan. 2, 2015, article, When a Patient's Death is Broadcast Without Permission, incorrectly referred to the newspaper that published a quote from "NY Med" executive producer Terence Wrong. It was the Philadelphia Daily News, not the Philadelphia Inquirer. Both newspapers share a website, where the story appears.
The Dec. 31, 2014, article, Is This Man Responsible for the Murders of 5 American Nuns?, incorrectly described Gerald Rose, former deputy chief of mission in Liberia. Gerald Rose is 86, and he did not personally interview aspirants. He also does not hobble nor has he ever used a cane. He is active and routinely plays 18 holes of golf.
The Dec. 22, 2014, article, In 2008 Mumbai Attacks, Piles of Spy Data, but an Uncompleted Puzzle, incorrectly referred to Shivshankar Menon, a retired Indian official who commented on the failure by the intelligence agencies of the United States, Britain and India to thwart the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai. Mr. Menon was India's foreign secretary at the time, not foreign minister.
The Oct. 24, 2014, article, Judge Doesn't 'Think' Police are Abusing Spy Technology, and More in MuckReads, originally stated that residents were paying 20 percent more in property tax bills when in fact the analysis shows that 20 percent or more of residents are paying the wrong property tax bill.
The Oct. 10, 2014, article, This Alabama Judge Has Figured Out How to Dismantle Roe v. Wade, incorrectly said Justice Kennedy had voted in favor of every abortion restriction measure that had come before him on the court. In fact, in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, he voted against a spousal notification requirement while upholding other limits in the Pennsylvania law. The article also used "crucifix" when "cross" was the appropriate word.
The Sept. 24, 2014, article, Fact-Checking Feinstein on the Assault Weapons Ban, incorrectly referred to a round of ammunition as a "bullet." Properly speaking, ammunition rounds include not just the bullet, but also propellant, primer, and case.
The Sept. 16, 2014, article, Old Debts, Fresh Pain: Weak Laws Offer Debtors Little Protection, and an accompanying photo caption originally misattributed a quote about "feeling hopeless" to Conrad Goetzinger. It was his fiancée, Cassandra Rose, who said it.
The Sept. 12, 2014, article, Why Do Democrats Keep Trying to Ban Guns That Look Scary, Not the Guns That Kill the Most People?, originally incorrectly cited a statistic on the use of handguns in killings in the United States in the early 1990s. They were used in more than 80 percent of gun murders — not all murders. Also, the article has been clarified to note that before Democrats succeeded in banning a category of guns called "assault weapons," the firearms industry had used similar language to market civilian semiautomatic versions of military guns.
The Sept. 2, 2014, article, A Judge's Status, Robed in Silence, incorrectly characterized Lawrence Goldman's position on disciplining judges who have engaged in misconduct. Goldman, a former member of the New York State Commission on Judicial Misconduct, favors allowing the commission to impose, in certain circumstances, a temporary suspension for a judge found to have erred, but whose conduct does not warrant removal from the bench. He does not favor allowing the commission to suspend a judge during an active investigation.
The Jul. 30, 2014, column, Does Valeant's Cost-Cutting Go Too Far?, incorrectly stated that Ryan Weldon was the head of Valeant's aesthetics business. Weldon no longer works for the company.

The Jun. 19, 2014, article, Violent and Legal: The Shocking Ways School Kids are Being Pinned Down, Isolated Against Their Will, featured an illustration which previously stated that Minnesota does not allow prone restraints on disabled children and that the state will ban the tactics in August 2015. In fact, Minnesota allows the use of prone restraints in an emergency, on disabled children aged five or older. Minnesota is currently enacting regulations to limit prone restraints, and it is uncertain changes in prone restraint regulations will occur by August 2015.
The Jun. 10, 2014, article, Myth vs. Fact: Violence and Mental Health, misstated one of the findings of a gun study. After Connecticut added mental health records to its background check system, people who had been disqualified from owning a gun showed a 53 drop, not a 6 percent drop, in their likelihood of committing a violent crime.
The Jun. 16, 2014, article, Iowa Court Tosses Sentence in HIV Exposure Case, incorrectly said Iowa's new HIV transmission law was opposed by some advocates in the state and nationally. It was not opposed by advocates in the state.
The Jun. 10, 2014, article, Myth vs. Fact: Violence and Mental Health, incorrectly identified Dr. Swanson as a psychiatrist. Dr. Swanson, a professor in psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Duke University School of Medicine, is a medical sociologist.

On Mar. 14, 2014, we mistakenly published a non-final draft of the article Four Ways to Really Fix the Pentagon's Effort to ID the Missing and have since replaced that copy in its entirety. The differences were entirely stylistic, and there were no changes of fact.
The Mar. 6, 2014, article, The Military is Leaving the Missing Behind, mistakenly said the wife of John Eakin was Joan. In fact, her name is Jean.
The Feb. 18, 2014, article, Hydrogen Fuel Set to Take Off, But Safety Concerns Remain, mistakenly said that Gov. Jerry Brown had agreed to spend over $2 billion on hydrogen fueling stations. Gov. Brown has allocated $2 billion for clean-vehicle incentives over the next ten years. $20 million a year has been set aside specifically for hydrogen-fueling stations.
The Feb. 14, 2014, article, When a University Hospital Backs a Surgical Robot, Controversy Ensues, incorrectly spelled the name of Merrillville, Indiana as Merryville, Indiana.
The Feb. 3, 2014, article, The PTSD Crisis That's Being Ignored: Americans Wounded in Their Own Neighborhoods, previously said that ProPublica surveyed a top-level trauma center in each of the 22 cities with the nation's highest homicide rates. In fact, we surveyed trauma centers in only 21 of the cities with the nation's highest homicide rates. We mistakenly included Dallas in this survey. It only ranks 46th among cities with a population of at least 100,000, according to 2012 FBI statistics.
The June 12, 2013, article, Gitmo Diary: Visiting the U.S.'s Most Infamous Courtroom, previously said Guantanamo Bay's courtroom is housed in the "Expeditionary Legal Center." In fact it's housed in the "Expeditionary Legal Complex."
The March 12, 2013, article, Dollars for Docs: The Top Earners, mistakenly listed Warren Joseph's location as Coatesville, Pa. In fact, he sees patients in Philadelphia and has not worked in Coatesville for several years.
An article briefly posted on Aug. 28, relying on published reports, stated that American Action Network was paying for the band Journey to appear at the Republican National Convention in Tampa. The spokesman for the network says the group is not sponsoring the band. The American Action Network and the American Action Forum, a sister nonprofit, are sponsoring the pavilion at the RNC where Journey, Kid Rock and Trace Adkins are performing.
The Aug. 27, 2012, article, How an Obscure Federal Rule Could Be Shaking Up Presidential Politics, originally said that the federal rules posed a challenge in 2004 when Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was chosen by Sen. John McCain to be his running mate. It was actually in 2008.
The Aug. 24, 2012, article, Army Study Finds Troops Suffer Concussions in Training, incorrectly stated that "Fort Hood, in Texas, is one of the Army's main centers for basic training." In fact, it is one of Army's major bases, but it is not one of its main centers for basic training.
The Aug. 22, 2012, column, Small Banks Get Theirs Too: Treasury's Quiet Bailout, referred incorrectly to the ability of banks to skip dividend payments under TARP. Not all banks can skip the payments; banks that are bank holding companies cannot.

The Aug. 2, 2012, article, Despite Supreme Court Ruling, Many Minors May Stay in Prison for Life, incorrectly identified Dan Filler as a Drake law professor on second reference. He is a Drexel law professor.
The July 23, 2012, article, Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Voter ID Laws, originally said Texas went to federal court to challenge the DOJ's denial of preclearance. In fact, Texas filed a lawsuit seeking preclearance from the federal district court two months before the DOJ announced its decision. Also, some states require a government-issued photo that does not have to come from the federal government as first detailed.
The June 26, 2012, article, Cellphone Companies Will Share Your Location Data - Just Not With You, mistakenly repeated T-Mobile's comment as Sprint's response. We have also updated the story to include an additional response from AT&T.
The June 6, 2012 article, Guiding You Through the Govt's Foreclosure Compensation Maze, and the FAQ, Our FAQ on The National Foreclosure Settlement and Independent Foreclosure Review, have been updated to reflect the fact that homeowners can submit their application for the Independent Foreclosure Review online. They have also been updated to clarify that homeowners eligible for the review will only be receiving a reminder through the mail this summer, not another copy of the request for review form.
The June 4, 2012 article, How Bank of America Execs Hid Losses—In Their Own Words, has been corrected to show that Kenneth Lewis did not say the words "no longer accurate;" instead, it was attorneys paraphrasing his position.
The May 18, 2012 article, Donations to Scott Walker Flagged as Potential Fraud, originally identified eZcontribution, a Wisconsin company, as running the website handling donations to Friends of Scott Walker. In fact, there are several websites that handle donations to the campaign. EZcontribution says it has no record of processing a charge to Nellis' credit card.
In the May 24, 2012 article, Built for a Simpler Era, OSHA Struggles When Tower Climbers Die, a reference to the Kentucky Department of Labor has been corrected to the Kentucky Labor Cabinet.
Citing a court order, a Jan. 20, 2012, story, Actual Winner Unclear in Supreme Court's Ruling on Texas Redistricting, stated that a federal court in Washington, D.C., had said that the maps drawn by Texas' state legislature were problematic. In fact, the court ruled that the state's defense of the legislature's maps -- not necessarily the maps themselves -- were problematic.
A Dec. 21, 2011, story, How Democrats Fooled California's Redistricting Commission, originally stated that the Asian population of Long Beach was less than 1 percent.

A Dec. 16, 2011, story, Perry More Generous With Pardons Than Romney, erroneously said that Texas Gov. Rick Perry's 2010 pardons of nine people included "two men who served probation for unlawful possession of narcotics in the early 1970s." In fact, Perry pardoned these men in 2004.
A Dec. 15, 2011, story, Senator Wants Answers on Program to Test Soldiers for Brain Injuries, erroneously said a letter sent by Sen. McCaskill said contractors have been paid $42 million. It said they have been paid $32 million.
A Dec. 4, 2011, story, Pardon Applicants Benefit From Friends in High Places, incorrectly stated that David B. McCall Jr. was convicted in 1996 of falsifying loan records. McCall pleaded guilty to that charge on Oct. 10, 1996. A judgment and sentencing were entered on Jan. 17, 1997. The article also misstated the timing of his family's quest for a pardon; the effort began seven years, not 24 years, after his conviction.
A Nov. 28, 2011, story, Testing Program Fails Soldiers, Leaving Brain Injuries Undetected, originally misstated the name of the contractor that has given soldiers the ANAM test over the last four years. It should be Eyak Services, not Eyak Technology.
A Nov. 10, 2011, story, Energy Dept. Panel Warns of Environmental Toll of Current Gas Drilling Practices, originally made it seem as if Reid Porter, an API spokesman, said that drillers have opposed some of the energy panel's recommendations. Porter did not comment on that issue.

A Nov. 1, 2011, story, U.S. Government Glossed Over Cancer Concerns As It Rolled Out Airport X-Ray Scanners, originally said that an email in which the TSA health and safety director said inspectors were "radiation myth busters" incorrectly identified them as Rapiscan's inspectors. The story should have said they were inspectors from the Army Public Health Command.
An Oct. 5, 2011, story, What Is Obama's Actual Record on Creating Jobs?, erroneously referred to the " bailouts of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler." Only General Motors and Chrysler received government assistance. We also stated that GM added 45,000 jobs after exiting bankruptcy. In fact, it's the car industry overall that added 45,000 jobs after GM exited bankruptcy. We have also clarified that one's study's conclusion about the number of jobs the auto bailout saved included jobs created directly and indirectly.
An Oct. 4, 2011, story, What Are the Latest Revelations About Koch Industries? referred to Koch-Glitsch as "France-based." It has offices around the world, including in France; its main European office is in Italy.

An Aug. 18, 2011, story, Economic Myths: We Separate Fact From Fiction, incorrectly said the only tax increases passed during the Obama administration were part of the health-care reform bill.

A May 31, 2011, article, Confessed Terrorist Tried To Help U.S. Track Down Other Terrorists, originally said that Headley was arrested last October. He was in fact arrested in October 2009. Also, Wired magazine spotted an error in David Coleman Headley's testimony. Headley said that the CEO of Lockheed Martin had been targeted for assassination, because Lockheed makes the drones that are used to kill terrorists in Pakistan. It turns out that General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, not Lockheed, makes the drones. Lockheed does, however, make the Hellfire missiles used by the drones.
A May 19, 2011, article, Forced Pooling: When Landowners Can't Say No to Drilling, has been corrected. It should have made clear that state regulations in New York and Virginia require drillers to lease a certain percentage of the acreage in a drilling unit before forced pooling or compulsory integration can occur, rather than a percentage of the landowners. This story also originally said 38 states have some form of forced pooling law. Actually, 39 states do.

An April 6, 2011, article, Charter Schools Outsource Education to Management Firms, With Mixed Results, originally stated that contracts between White Hat Management and the schools suing the company had been extended and were set to expire this summer.

A Dec. 17, 2010 article, Fannie and Freddie's Regulator Opposes Reducing Mortgages for Struggling Homeowners, stated that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are Government Sponsored Entities. It should have said they are Government Sponsored Enterprises.
A Dec. 14, 2010 article, Methodology: Chinese Drywall, was corrected to reflect the following: The "Tainted Drywall" news application originally included lists of contractors, manufacturers, distributors, importers and builders involved in lawsuits over tainted drywall. A software bug caused those lists to overstate the number of addresses associated with each company. The erroneous lists, and references to them, have been removed.
A Nov. 29, 2010, story, Another Response to Our Burma Nuclear Story—and Another Answer from Us, was corrected to show that the third point in ProPublica's letter has been superseded by an earlier clarification that can be found here.
A Nov. 17, 2010, story, Drug Firms Say They'll Take Closer Look at the Docs They Pay, was corrected after Health News Florida corrected a story we had summarized in our report. Orlando-area urologists Steven Brooks and E. "Jake" Jacobo pleaded guilty on Jan. 12, 2001, to one count of conspiracy to sell the prescription drug Lupron without complying with U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations. The Nov. 18 story and our summary mischaracterized the plea.
A Nov. 9, 2010, story, Science Says Methane in Pa. Water Is from Drilling, Not Natural Causes, incorrectly stated that well water had been fouled in northwestern Pennsylvania. The story should have said the water was fouled in northeastern Pennsylvania.

Also, the shutdown interrupted 4 percent of the nation's oil supply that comes from U.S. production, not global production.
A Nov. 2, 2010, story, Two Companies Seek Trade Secret Status for Fracking Fluids in Wyoming, stated that ChemEOR was a subsidiary of Flotek Industries Inc. CESI Chemical, not ChemEOR, is a subsidiary of Flotek.
An April 9, 2010, story, The Magnetar Trade, suggested that the hedge fund Magnetar was involved in the naming of "Squared," a JP Morgan Chase collateralized debt obligation. In a September 30, 2010 letter to ProPublica, Magnetar said it did not name the CDO, and we have corrected the story to remove the suggestion that it did.
Because of an error in data provided by Pfizer, our Dollars for Docs feature incorrectly described William Jeffrey Baker as the principal investigator on a $90,000 research project sponsored by Pfizer. The principal investigator is William L. Baker, Jr.
An Aug. 26, 2010, story, Banks' Self-Dealing Super-Charged Financial Crisis, on how investment banks assembled complex securities known as collateralized debt obligations reported that there were 85 instances during 2006 and 2007 in which two CDOs had bought pieces of each others'"unsold" inventory. In fact, there were some instances when this cross-exposure occurred through later transactions. The banks sometimes used such transactions to minimize their own exposure to CDOs they had created.
A Sept. 22, 2010, interactive graphic, CDOs' Interlocking Ownership, includes at least one example of cross-exposure that did not involve "unsold" inventory. A CDO called Tourmaline III made a sidebet in 2007 that mirrored the performance of a piece of a CDO called Zais Investment Grade 8; that same year Zais 8 bought a piece of Tourmaline III. Both CDOs were underwritten by Deutsche Bank.
The Sept. 23, 2010, post, Frustrated Oil Spill Claimants Consider Alternative Compensation Fund, incorrectly stated that claimants could not receive payments from both Kenneth Feinberg's operation and the Coast Guard's National Pollution Funds Center.

The Sept. 9, 2010, story, Administration Takes Steps That Will Reduce Deportation Risk for Many Undocumented Immigrants, inaccurately said the ICE immigration enforcement program known as Secure Communities was active in 17,553 jurisdictions in 23 states.

The Aug. 11, 2010, post, "Primer: Six Things Happening Right Now With Financial Regulation," has been corrected to indicate that Sens. Dick Lugar, R-Ind., and Benjamin Cardin, D-Md., inserted the provision requiring increased disclosures from oil companies. It had previously stated that two Democratic senators had inserted the measure.
The Aug. 5, 2010, post, Drilling Industry and Gubernatorial Candidates Move To Weaken Some State Regulations, incorrectly said that New Mexico's pit rules went into effect in May 2008, when the rig count was 79. It should have said that the pit rules went into effect in June 2008, when the rig count was 78. The story also said that the Independent Petroleum Association's appeal to overturn the rules was filed in the state Oil Conservation Division, when it was actually filed with the First Judicial District Court.
The July 23, 2010, post, Bogus 'Obama Mom' Grants Lure Students, incorrectly described the University of Southern California Rossier School of Education as a public school; USC is a private, non-profit university.

The April 20, 2010, post, Charges Aside, What About Goldman's Nondisclosure of a Potential Lawsuit?, has been corrected to note that SEC rules do not require disclosure about a pending legal proceeding if the claim for damages does not exceed 10 percent of the company's overall assets. It had previously said only that the SEC does not require disclosure of a Wells notice.
The April 5, 2010, post, Reporting Network Doc Squad, mistakenly included Delaware and Georgia among the states that currently restrict public records access for people of out of state.
The March 29, 2010, post, Data Show Bank Regulator Goes Easy on Enforcement, has been corrected to remove language calling the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency a "little known bank regulator."
The March 25, 2010, post, Treasury, Ahem, Clarifies Goals for the Mortgage Mod Program, originally misstated the Treasury official's estimate of how many homeowners will convert from trial to permanent mods.

The Feb. 17, 2010, post, Our New List of Stimulus Investigations, originally said that another $333 billion in stimulus funds is in the pipeline to be spent. That figure actually refers to stimulus funds that have been obligated. The amount of money in the pipeline -- that is, obligated but not spent -- is some $150 billion.
On Feb. 8, 2010, the Transparency Tracker incorrectly reported posting dates later than the actual posting dates of the open sites at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of the Treasury, Department of the Interior, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development due to a programming error.
The Feb. 7, 2010, post, Administration Signals It Won't Push Legal Limits of Terrorism Detention, incorrectly stated that the al-Marri decision in the Court of Appeals still stands. In fact, the Supreme Court vacated the decision, thus depriving it of value as a legal precedent.
The Feb. 3, 2010, post, Lobbyists Help Smooth the Way for a Tax Break for Foreign Rum Maker, said Puerto Rico Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi was stepping up his lobbying efforts. It should have said that Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Fortuño was stepping up his lobbying efforts. The post also said that Diageo spent $2.25 million on in-house lobbyists and $770,000 on lobbyists from DLA Piper. It should have said that Diageo spent a total of $2.25 million on lobbying activities in 2009, including $770,000 to DLA Piper.
In the Jan. 26, 2010, post, Judiciary Chairman Conyers to Host Super Bowl Fundraiser, originally said that Rep. John Conyers' PAC is called "Moving America Forward." The correct name of Conyers' PAC is "America Forward Leadership PAC."
In the Dec. 16, 2009, post Real Student Default Rates Much Higher Than Previously Known, we reported that the Department of Education was projecting that 47 percent of the federal money lent to students at for-profit education institutions in 2007 would never be repaid. We also said that the department had estimated that 40 percent of the money lent to students at for-profit institutions between 2003 and 2006 would be written off. Those statements—a main thrust of the article—are not accurate. Read our note detailing the error.
The headline of the Dec. 7, 2009, post, After Donor's Letter, Sen. Feinstein Supports Study That Could Delay Fish-Protection Plan, previously said that a study Sen. Feinstein supports is "helping slow down" a fish protection plan. In fact, the plan is already in place. While the study may delay it, it hasn't yet done so.
Due to poor math by an editor, the headline of the Dec. 5, 2009, post, Bank Failure Friday Roars Back: Six Banks Fail, Costing FDIC $2.6 Billion, misstated the cost to the FDIC. The failures are actually projected to cost the agency about $2.4 billion.
The Nov. 4, 2009, post, More Fun With Stimulus Numbers, originally said that the White House had released a report on stimulus jobs. In fact, the report was released by the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, which is an independent government board created by stimulus package. The chairman, Earl Devaney, was appointed by the president.
The Nov. 3, 2009, post, At University of Phoenix, Allegations of Enrollment Abuses Persist, originally stated that the graduation rate of students undertaking associate degrees at the university is 37 percent. In fact, the rate is 27 percent.
The Oct. 28, 2009, post, Grading the Public Options That Already Exist, originally indicated that if veterans did not sign up within five years of discharge, they would not qualify for Veterans health care. In fact, if a veteran qualifies under the VA's enrollment specifications, they can qualify for care, regardless of how much time has passed since discharge.
The Oct. 20, 2009, post, Medicare Drug Planners Now Lobbyists, With Billions at Stake, originally stated lawmakers and aides crafted the Medicare Part D plan four years ago. It should have said six years ago. The article also said that Billy Tauzin was a former senator in the 29th graph. He was actually a former representative.
The Sept. 22, 2009, post, "Stockholder Suit Targets Troubled Mental Health Chain," originally stated the Justice Department opened an investigation and the Illinois Department of Children and Families froze admissions of foster children to Riveredge Hospital near Chicago in response to investigations by the Chicago Tribune and ProPublica. It should have said those actions were initiated following the Tribune reports.
The Sept. 21, 2009, post, Frack Fluid Spill in Dimock Contaminates Stream, Killing Fish, originally included a description of the spill by Vincent Fronda that actually referred to a Sept. 3 discharge near the Cabot well site in question. It was several hundred feet away and separate from the fracturing fluid spill that occurred last Wednesday. The photograph that accompanied the story, which was sent to ProPublica by a Dimock resident, was also of that earlier spill. Both the photo and the descriptive passage have been removed.
The Sept. 11, 2009, post, StimCities Update: Biden's Account Clashes with Reality on Ground, originally placed Charlotte, N.C., in the wrong Carolina.
The Sept. 9, 2009, post, Congressman Announces Plan to Reform U.S. System to Care for Injured Civilian Contractors, originally stated that the study by insurance broker Aon Corp. was released Wednesday, Sept. 9. It was actually released on Friday, Sept. 4, 2009.
The Aug. 18, 2009, posts, Opening the Window on Foreign Lobbying and Adding It Up: The Top Players in Foreign Agent Lobbying, have been corrected. Due to a data entry error, the Foreign Lobbying Influence Tracker contained duplicate entries for fees paid to the Livingston Group by some its clients. The Sunlight Foundation has eliminated the duplicate records, and we have updated related totals in stories and charts about the database.
The Aug. 7, 2009, post, FBI Raids New Orleans Police Department, originally stated that five people were wounded during the Danziger Bridge incident. In fact, it was four people.
The Aug. 5, 2009, article, Stimulus Spending Fails to Follow Unemployment, Poverty, inadvertently implied that stimulus spending on tax cuts, increases in unemployment compensation and Medicaid funding were not intended to create or sustain a substantial number of jobs. The article should have made the distinction between "direct" jobs, such as those created by infrastructure funding, and "indirect" jobs. Tax cuts and spending on government benefits do lead to indirect job creation as they contribute to demand for goods and services.
The July 27, 2009, article, Illinois AG: Shady AIDS Charity's Web Campaign Broke State Law, misstated charges from the state's complaint against the Center for AIDS Prevention, saying the charity never maintained an office at 4750 N. Broadway in Chicago. The complaint said the charity did not have an office there from at least November 2007 until the filing of the charges.
The April 30, 2009, post, New Arrest Heats Up Pension Kickback Scandal, said that Markstone Capital Group was named in an indictment by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo regarding fraud in the public pension system. In fact, Markstone was not named in that indictment. Rather, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sent a letter to Markstone's founder, Elliott Broidy, as part of the commission's inquiry into public pension funds. The letter requested financial information relating to Broidy's time as a commissioner on the Los Angeles Fire and Police Pension fund. In particular, the letter requested details of Broidy's communications with two firms named in the Cuomo indictment, Aldus Equity and placement agent DAV/Wetherly Financial. Broidy resigned from the LA pension board after the SEC's inquiry was publicly disclosed.
The July 19, 2009, post, Introducing Stimulus Spot Check, originally said ProPublica is looking at a random sample of about 500 bridge construction projects nationwide. We're actually looking at a sample of about 500 road and bridge projects.
The July 17, 2009, post, On Stimulus Job Counts, California Goes Its Own Way, incorrectly stated the base cost of improving as $739,014. It's actually $739,014,000.
A caption on the July 14, 2009, post, "Disappearance of Privacy Board From White House Web Site Raises Questions," previously suggested 9/11 Commission chairman Thomas Kean said the Whitehouse.gov's deletion of the reference to the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board was "extremely disappointing." In fact, Kean was referring to administration's overall lack of progress staffing the board.
The July 13, 2009, post, "Schwarzenegger Replaces Most of State Nursing Board," incorrectly referred to former Board of Registered Nursing vice president Elizabeth O. Dietz as a professor of nursing at San Jose State. Although the board's web site lists that as her current affiliation, the university said she retired in July 2008.
The July 10, 2009, post, Gov't Foreclosure Program: Who Are The Holdouts?, incorrectly stated that Acorn Housing organized the campaign against four non-participants. In fact, it was ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
The July 9, 2009, post, Today's Stimulus Debate: City vs. Country , incorrectly cited the Philadelphia Enquirer. In fact, the newspaper is called the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The July 8, 2009, post, GAO Slams Flimsy Auditing Rules for Stimulus Dollars, inaccurately stated that the deadline for states to begin audits of their stimulus spending is at least six months after the end of the fiscal year. In fact, the deadline is nine months after the end of the fiscal year.
The June 30, 2009, post, After Call From Senator Inouye's Office, Small Hawaii Bank Got U.S. Aid, inaccurately said that Rep. Maxine Waters arranged a meeting between regulators and OneUnited of Massachusetts. She actually arranged a meeting between regulators and the National Bankers Association, whose chairman was the general counsel of OneUnited. A person at the meeting said the discussion focused on OneUnited.
The June 23, 2009, post, Madoff Client Jeffry Picower Netted $5 Billion—Likely More Than Madoff Himself, originally stated that the Picower foundation gave out a little under $207 million in donations from 1995 to 2008. The foundation actually doled out more than $235 million in donations.
The June 16, 2009, post, Business Jet Group Tries to Block FOIA Request, originally misstated the name of the BARR Program as "Blocked Aircraft Registration Request." BARR stands for "Block Aircraft Registration Request."
The June 12, 2009, post, Stimulus Threatens to Cause 'Full-Blown Trade War,' mistakenly stated that Associated General Contractors represents 7 million workers. It represents construction companies whose workforce numbers about 7 million.
The May 20, 2009, post, Deficit Skyrockets at Pension Guaranty Fund, mistakenly stated the PBGC's deficit as $35 billion. It is $33.5 billion.
The April 30, 2009, post, Decoder: The Pension Fund Scandal, mistakenly stated that the California State Teachers' Retirement System had moved to limit campaign contributions to members of its oversight board but had been thwarted in a legal challenge. We should have said it was the California Public Employees Retirement System that attempted to limit contributions.
The April 9, 2009, post, Catch-22: Can AIG Repay Taxpayers?, originally stated that AIG "ditched plans" to sell two of its insurance subsidiaries, Alico and AIA. In fact, AIG says selling the companies is still an option in its effort to repay federal bailout loans. The company's plans did change insofar as AIG gave the Federal Reserve Bank ownership interest in the two subsidiaries in return for a $26 billion reduction in the amount owed to the Fed. The company is now considering a wider ranch of options than simply selling the subsidiaries. The original post also stated that the transaction resulted in an additional loan to AIG. In fact, the additional $30 billion lending facility, announced on the same day, came from the Treasury, not the Fed. AIG has not yet tapped that line of credit, according to spokeswoman Christina Pretto.
The March 12, 2009, post, Talking With the Former FOIA Czar, originally stated former Justice Dept. FOIA official Dan Metcalfe was a "Reagan appointee." In fact, he was appointed to head the Office of Information and Privacy during the Reagan administration but was already working at the Justice Department.

Did you ever wonder how two people can follow the same exact diet, strictly adhere to it, and end up with two completely different sets of results? Some people do seem to have an easier time taking off weight than others. We've heard people say that it's "in their genes," but for those who can't seem to get the weight off, it's really not enough information to help them. Especially for obese people desperately trying to shed pounds, that simple statement does nothing to help them find out what they need to focus on to make a diet work for them.
For the first time in a lab, researchers at the National Institutes of Health found evidence supporting the commonly held belief that people with certain physiologies lose less weight than others when limiting calories. Study results published May 11 in Diabetes.
Researchers at the Phoenix Epidemiology and Clinical Research Branch (PECRB), part of the NIH's National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, studied 12 men and women with obesity in the facility's metabolic unit. Using a whole-room indirect calorimeter — which allows energy expenditure to be calculated based on air samples — researchers took baseline measurements of the participants' energy expenditure in response to a day of fasting, followed by a six-week inpatient phase of 50 percent calorie reduction. After accounting for age, sex, race and baseline weight, the researchers found that the people who lost the least weight during the calorie-reduced period were those whose metabolism decreased the most during fasting. Those people have what the researchers call a "thrifty" metabolism, compared to a "spendthrift" metabolism in those who lost the most weight and whose metabolism decreased the least.
"When people who are obese decrease the amount of food they eat, metabolic responses vary greatly, with a 'thrifty' metabolism possibly contributing to less weight lost," said Susanne Votruba, Ph.D., study author and PECRB clinical investigator. "While behavioral factors such as adherence to diet affect weight loss to an extent, our study suggests we should consider a larger picture that includes individual physiology — and that weight loss is one situation where being thrifty doesn't pay."
Researchers do not know whether the biological differences are innate or develop over time. Further research is needed to determine whether individual responses to calorie reduction can be used to prevent weight gain.
"The results corroborate the idea that some people who are obese may have to work harder to lose weight due to metabolic differences," said Martin Reinhardt, M.D., lead author and PECRB postdoctoral fellow. "But biology is not destiny. Balanced diet and regular physical activity over a long period can be very effective for weight loss."
More than one-third of American adults are obese. Complications from obesity can include heart disease, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, some of the leading causes of preventable death.
"What we've learned from this study may one day enable a more personalized approach to help people who are obese achieve a healthy weight," said NIDDK Director Griffin P. Rodgers, M.D. "This study represents the latest advance in NIDDK's ongoing efforts to increase understanding of obesity."
The study does seem to suggest that for obese people, dieting needs to be individually focused. Perhaps staying on a specific eating regimen for six months may work for some, but others will need a year long program. Perhaps specific foods need to be included for some and not for others. And exercise may fall into that same category.
Obesity doesn't appear to be a one-size-fits-all diagnosis. It affects health in different ways for different people. FoodFacts.com understands that it makes sense that reversing obesity in specific individuals can require more than a one-size-fits-all approach. That's probably true for the non-obese population as well. Find what works for your body and your lifestyle and stick to it as long as it's necessary to shed the pounds you want to see gone. All of us should keep in mind that the best diet isn't a diet at all, it's a lifestyle. A healthy, balanced approach to nutritious foods helps us all maintain ideal weight and avoid weight-related health problems.

If I understand this correctly and maybe I don't...why not pay Stanton's buyout and use Rosales as the platoon corner guy. Rosales can play a very capable third and spent most of last season at first and did a pretty good job there as well (plus he can play a good 2b and a passable/emergency SS). There's no doubt Rosales can hit, he just has to prove that at the ML level. That rids the club of Stanton's big salary and they don't have to pay Rosales the league minimum. Given Helms is going into the twilight of his career, why not invest the time in a guy who could potentially be a mainstay for the Reds for the next 10 years or more and save a couple million bucks which can be spent on signing draft picks or picking up some more pitching depth.
there has to be something I don't understand about Stanton's salary/buyout. Everyone is talking about him being the odd man out, even Dusty has eluded to it. Am I missing something or are the Reds trying to find him a home (and get a little something in return) before dumping on him.

Article about unmaintainable software on bank mainframes
Please help me locate an article I read online a couple of years ago. Essentially it went like this: the core software that banks use to run transactions is very old and hard to maintain, and they're terrified of breaking something by trying to integrate new features. Therefore, "instant" transactions via online banking aren't really instant: what actually happens is that there's an elaborate front-end emulating the functionality of the core system. Every night the front-end system delivers all the queued-up "faked" transactions to the core system, which actually processes them. [more inside]

Free software to split or convert an AIFF file?
I have a long AIFF file I need to split into a couple of smaller ones. I found a couple of online programs to convert the file to an mp3, but either the file is too big or they're a free trial that only converts part of the file and you have to purchase it to be able to convert the whole file. I haven't found one that can just split AIFF files. Is there a 100% free program that will either split the file or convert it to an mp3 format (since I do have a program that can split mp3s)?
Please point me at a Mac picture/sketch editor that does what I want.
I have a very basic (I think) requirement infrequently where I need to slightly modify a picture (usually a line drawing or a jpg of an event layout or similar) so that I can extract the track map from it. I keep bouncing between software that doesn't do enough to overwhelmingly complicated and too involved to do quickly. Please translate what is available in my own perspective please. I am open to the possibility that I am outside the realms of simple software, but am ever hopeful. [more inside]

I'm a software developer with several years of experience under my belt. Lately, I've been working with lots of Java code, but have very little formal Java training.

SugarCRM proving bittersweet
Is your business or non-profit happily running along with SugarCRM CE? Obviously, server-side CRM systems are not fashionable at the moment but I would be grateful for suggestions for a good alternative or guidance on success with CE.

Help me track my mother's computer usage
My mother is 90-years-old and lives alone. We worry when she doesn't pick up for the phone or we haven't heard from her for a couple of days. She is actively-opposed to any sort of regular check-ins by phone or e-mail to us, and she also does not want to use any type of monitoring service for the elderly (such as Lifeline) She does, however, use e-mail and her computer on a daily basis. Is there any software I can install that would send out e-mail alerts to us when she has (or hasn't) used her computer in x amount of hours? I would, of course, ask her permission to do this, and I am fairly sure she would be okay with it. (Don't ask me what exactly the difference is between this and Lifeline, I think it has to do with the stigma of aging that a service like Lifeline implies, something she is quite sensitive about.)
Software Development / QA: Tools and Knowledge Base?
Does your development/software qa department have a knowledge base? What tools/software do you use for knowledge sharing and collaboration? I heard it's good to have a QA Wiki page to document information? Any interesting free software out there for software testers? like to generate test cases? Is your department efficient? Thanks

Does this software/web service exist?
I'm starting a blog, and I have this hunch that perhaps a service or program exists out there that allows you to: 1) Write, format, and save blog posts, as well as mark them as "ready" to publish, and 2) Automate publishing those ready posts chronologically onto your blog at a fixed rate or alternatively by selecting a publishing date and time for every post marked as ready. The theory being, I could write as many posts as I want on a given day, but schedule and automate their publishing. Does this sort of thing exist? [more inside]

Please help me find a good Drupal developer to pick up the pieces
Ok hivemind, you've helped me once before, I hope you can do it again. I volunteer for an NPO that hired a less than competent development shop to create a very specialized membership database using Drupal. That includes migrating from a Filemaker database and a whole bunch of thoroughly detailed specifications for enrollment, payment systems, membership management, member profiles, various back office reports, event calendaring, conference scheduling, etc. etc. These specs describe the functions we want and I think they are clear.

Article about successful people who use just one software tool.
A few years ago, perhaps 5-10, I read a brief article by someone who interviewed a number of strikingly-successful somewhat-famous people and concluded the one thing they all had in common was that they relied on a single software tool for nearly everything.

"Nah, boss; I'm just a speedreader"
Before building my own... does this software exist? I need to search a collection of PDF & Word files for key phrases, and dump the surrounding lines (x-m to x+n characters/lines, where x is the found phrase) into text files. I occasionally need to search a few dozen files for a few dozen data items, which usually have some identifying text nearby. This needs to be automated. Big bonus if it implements OCR, but that's not essential. Freeware, or cheapware, obviously is best. Windows-based is preferable, but I can do Linux.
What Salary.com IT job category am I, really?
So my annual review will be coming up in a few months. My job title is "Software Support Engineer." I'm making something in the 30-40k range, which is a good amount for someone with as little experience as I've got (I just started in IT about 2 years ago.) Prepping for my annual review, I bought one of those Salary.com employer salary survey reports. Median pay listed for a "Software Support Engineer I" is $63k! Am I underpaid, or am I really a "Technical Support Representative II" or whatever, and just have a cool job-title? [more inside]
Developer looking for high-performance portable dev laptop
I'm a software developer who is finding himself more and more in need of a very powerful, very portable machine. Here are my requirements:
- Under 5 lbs (key-- I don't want this to be a brick)
- i7 processor
- 8 GB RAM (with 2 slots for upgrade to 16 if desired)
- 512 GB SSD, or smaller SSD with HDD secondary drive
- NO HP. Their repair rate is terrible, their customer service is worse. They're the one brand I will not buy for PCs.
Any audio equivalent of "extract a person or object using Photoshop"?

What's the right software for printing and tracking quarterly invoices?
I'm looking for recommendations for a piece of software that automates printing and tracking quarterly bills to a few hundred customers that receive an ongoing service from a small business. I want to be able to import all the customers from Excel or something, place them in groups that pay different rates, and then EASILY print invoices once a quarter. Each invoice should come out automatically with the current rate for the group the customer is in. As the checks come in, I want to be able to enter those against the customers so I can track who has paid and who is behind. [more inside]

Seeking Recommendations for Reliable Automatic (or Human) Transcription
I am a medical writer working on a large project. Part of this project will involve posting videos of physicians along with a transcript of whatever the speaker is saying.

Best software or websites to manage my small company
First of all, if there are better places on the internet where I should ask these types of questions about project and company management, please let me know. You guys are awesome, but I have plenty of other types of questions I'd like to ask in here, and, plus, I need to find the best source for answers to specific questions like this and fast. I need the proper technological solution for managing the flow of tasks and information of an entire company. The company is about 20 people in the office (half of them engineers) and about the same in the fab shop, so it's small. I am not the owner, but the oft-ignored second-in-command. See my other questions (here and here) for more details about my specific working situation. Right now, the company can only be described as chaotic. We have taken probably on probably too much work, people (especially me) aren't aware of what others are doing, collaboration takes place in inefficient bursts in the conference room, and the massive amount of information we generate per job and in the rest of the business is never easily found when needed. The owner causes a lot of these problems with his capricious style of running the business and tends to only add to the entropy, but I think that centralization of information and communication may save it before it's too late. I need the proper tool or tools to do this. I'll discuss where I am thus far, and we can go from there. [more inside]
If I've upgraded PHP on my Mac, should I now avoid all OS X Updates?
If I've upgraded PHP on my Mac, should I now avoid all OS X Updates? I'm hosting a website on a Mac mini in a datacenter, and some of my software required a newer version of PHP than what's included out-of-the-box in OS X Mountain Lion. I keep getting the notification saying system updates are ready, and restart to install. But I'm scared it's going to overwrite my PHP upgrades and break everything. And it took me an insanely long time to get the PHP upgrade to work properly and play nicely with OS X Server.

Tottenham tonight completed their remarkable renaissance as a European force by producing a stunning display of attacking football to beat UEFA Champions League holders Inter Milan 3-1.
On a glory, glory night arguably not witnessed at White Hart Lane since Spurs last rubbed shoulders with the game's elite almost half a century earlier,
In what was a typically-breathless game, Tottenham were magnificent to a man, but
There were also other world-class displays from the likes of
Redknapp said: "Gareth was outstanding. No disrespects to the right-back Maicon, but he has given him a torrid time. It was amazing to see. The whole team was brilliant. We out-played them. We were the better team from start to finish.
"It was an outstanding performance - one of the great nights that the fans would have seen at White Hart Lane I would imagine. It was a pleasure to be part of it."
Rafael Benitez, Inter's coach, added: "When we scored I thought we were close. The team was growing and doing better. We were on top of them at this moment but the third goal changed everything."
The atmosphere as the game kicked-off was almost deafening and Tottenham responded by taking the initiative in a way they had completely failed to do in
But Inter were not to be intimidated and gave as good as they got in the opening 15 minutes which saw Eto'o flash a warning shot wide and Jonathan Biabiany almost put through after a lovely exchange. At the other end, Modric's finish was too close to stand-in goalkeeper Luca Castellazzi, while the final ball was also letting Spurs down.
That changed in spectacular fashion in the 18th minute when the rejuvenated Modric, who had been buzzing around dangerously, sold two beautiful dummies on the edge of the box to slide in
A frantic game then became manic, with Carlo Cudicini forced three times to race off his line, most tellingly to thwart Biabiany. When Bale skinned Maicon for a third time in the 25th minute, he produced a ball Crouch somehow contrived to slash wide from less than six yards. A brilliant break saw more desperate Inter defending clear
The visitors ended the half on top and
Half-time saw Spurs withdraw
Inter replaced the injured Sulley Muntari with debutant
Biabiany tried to respond for Inter before being withdrawn for Coutinho, while another new arrival,
A carnival atmosphere suddenly became twitchy with 11 minutes remaining when Eto'o rifled home from 20 yards. But, as in the San Siro, Bale was to have the final say, galloping forward on the break a minute from time and crossing for Pavlyuchenko to slot home.

A Meadowlands man faces 3 counts of felony terroristic threats in Nicollet County Court for allegedly sending threatening text messages to his children and their mother. 23-year-old James Ferry is accused of sending text messages to the mother of their 4 and 1 year-old children saying that he was going to kill them. Authorities say there were a total of 19 different quotes of various threats. Ferry initially denied having sent the text messages, but later admitted to being angry about having child support withheld from his paycheck. Meadowlands is a city in St. Louis County.

Slide Show: Far-Flung Plates at the Lostine Tavern
Posted Jul 14, 2014, 5:21pm
The Lostine Tavern (read our full Q & A) is a little bit outside of Portland Monthly's usual orbit—by roughly 300 miles. But if you've ever stopped for a bite in Eastern Oregon, you'll know that good food is scarcer than a Prius with Obama-Beiden bumper stickers in the mountain towns that surround the Alp-like Wallowa range. The Tavern, Eastern Oregon's first farm-to-table (but not fancy!) restaurant, is the exception: some of the best locally sourced, hand-made food for a hundred miles in any direction.

Wind, solar share some problemsMarch 14,2013
A criticism of wind power seems to be that it is intermittent and thus cannot be used as a base load. Because of this intermittent behavior it is also claimed that a continuously running backup power system must be kept on line, thereby using additional energy.
It is rarely pointed out that these same problems exist for solar; in fact they may cause bigger problems:
1. The sun does not shine at night, thus depending on the time of year there would by anywhere from about nine to 15 hours of darkness at the latitude of Vermont (wind may blow any time during the day or night).
2. Even during daylight a passing cloud will quickly drop the power of the solar panels.
3. Especially during winter, many days may pass with an overcast greatly reducing the amount of available light.
The above similarities should be kept in mind when discussing wind energy.

Recent Iceland reviews
"3 couples travelling, great location; well appointed house, very comfortable. Great place to go to many sights. Wonderfull frendly host- very helpful with information. even gave us a carrot cake! Would highly reccomend this house."Guest: ruth w. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 22, 2015View listing
"We stayed at our host's home for four nights during our first visit to Iceland. The cottage is even better than described and pictured; the bed provides a great sleep, the house is laid out beautifully (artwork is wonderful!), and the owner is kind enough to leave all you might need for your stay- paper towels, clear instructions for trash and tv, extra towels, etc. I can't convey how ideal the location is. The cottage is a stone's throw away from a great coffe shop/cafe, a square with quick food and nicer restaurants, and the wharf. Reykjavik is easily walkable, and the cottage puts you in the best possible starting location for exploration. There is space for rental car parking, and the home feels like home- it is in the oldest part of Reykjavik and provides a modern feel while also allowing you to stay in a true neighborhood and a house with personality and history. Our host could not have been more wonderful to work with as we planned our trip. She provided helpful info and was always speedy with her communication. She set us up for a great experience, and we had one! Many thanks."Guest: Jessica S. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 19, 2015View listing
"The home was very spacious and accommodating for our group of nine. We loved being able to use the kitchen, and especially the hot tub and sauna. The grocery store was right around the corner which was nice for the quick trips we needed. Very beautiful view out the back window and places to walk right in the backyard. Would highly recommend this home."Guest: James B. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 23, 2015View listing
"I just recently returned from a 6 night stay with 5 friends. The apartment is the perfect size for a group of 5 to 6 adults. We were much more comfortable than we would have been staying in a hotel because the apartment had everything we needed including a washing machine. Location wise, you couldn't ask for more....it's within walking distance to 2 of the best restaurants in the city not to mention all of the local bars and shops. Yes, it is noisy on Thursday night - Saturday night but so is any downtown area. The locals party hard. Burkni was extremely accommodating and let our group not only check in early after a long flight but he also let us check out late. He also gave us some great tips about local places to eat and drink and also clued us in to a site for tracking the Aurora Borealis. If I'm lucky enough to visit Iceland twice I would definitely stay here again."Guest: Vickie A. Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: April 22, 2015View listing

Is there hard drive "repair" software that can re-establish a hard drive with partitions?

Your best bet in that regard would be a drive-imaging software package, my favorite being Symantec"s Ghost. Ghost will create a bootable CD image of a hard drive that you can restore a workstation to a "known-good" state. To non-destructively manipulate/extend disk partitions on existing workstations, I recommend PowerQuest"s Partition Magic -- relatively inexpensive and (IMHO) quite intuitive.

Yep - I can validate this... saw the group in Baja!
So we are months into a Mexico (very remote) trip, and after not being anywhere near anything, we need to go to this small town for gas... and look who we met in the circula! I had just burst a fork strut (still thinking it was a oil cooler) so I did not have much time to chat... so it was a quick exchange of ADV rider best wishes and we were off again going separate directions! Later I would fill-up in questionable gas, and burn my exhaust valve more than 100 miles south of the border so I rode "Red Bull" as a thumper to the San Diego BMW dealership.... where they robed a valve, (replaced the blown fork seal) and new tyres... and one my way again!
