Tracked.com will shortly launch as a business and financial information portal with robust tracking, communication and sharing features.
1) Data - We gather an enormous amount of business data and news from thousands of sources that are free, paid, online and offline. We then collapse that information into a growing taxonomy of over 250,000 companies and 700,000 executives. Each company and executive in our database has it's own unique profile page on Tracked.com that displays all current and historical data we've gathered, including compensation information, financial data, trades, news, press releases, filings, executives, biographies, company descriptions, corporate hierarchies, institutional investments, and more.
2) Track - Visitors that create an account gain access to robust tracking features. Users can create any number of watchlists of people, private companies, public companies and sectors. We push news and data changes to users based on the entities they are watching.
3) Share - Account holders can make connections with others to share what they are tracking as well as short messages about things that are happening in business in real-time. The message will eventually serve as the means through which people share all content and data on the site.
Our target audience is any individual in the world that wants or needs to track business information both privately and collaboratively. Example use cases include:
-A venture capitalist tracking news and data about his or her portfolio companies and their respective management teams
-A sales manager tracking news and data about his or her clients or potential leads
-A corporate development executive tracking all that is being said, published and reported about competitors and potential acquisition targets
-A father simply tracking information about stocks he owns
Our tracking and sharing features are designed to keep people in the know who need or want to be in the know.
We need:
1) A square version (height same as width)
2) A rectangular version (w:4 h:1 aspect ratio...landscape)
3) A favicon version (square but much smaller and less detailed)
4) We need one version with the word "Beta" somewhere
5) One Grey scale version
Color: Our main theme is centered around different shades of blue. Here are our current color palettes
Blues (primary): 0423bd, 4a80ff, cddefe
Greens: 029c11,
Yellows: fbeace, fdf7e9
It would be nice to get logo submissions that comport with these colors but we are open to new suggestions.
Fonts: Our website users sans serif (i.e. Helvetica, Arial, etc.) fonts everywhere, but we are open to suggestions of new fonts for our logo.

The alleged offences include hacking the US company's computer network and accessing databases. The man is also said to be responsible for hacking the company's Twitter account and posting screenshots of the data he took from the network.
In addition, the man is alleged to have established a website offering a paid service that allowed people to search the company's player database.

Hi, Teia
Here's my humble opinion:
" Here is what I have found while searching the net".
1. How many sentences are there in the above sentence?
There are 2 clauses.
2. What is the name of a sentence formed of two or more sentences?[ a compound sentence?]
I think yes.
3. What is the grammatical function of "searching" in my sentence?
An adverbial modifier of time.
4.How can I rephrase the last part of my sentence? Could it be:
a] ",,while I was searching the net"
b] "while I searched the net"
I think either is possible.
and what is the difference between [a] and [b] or which of [a] and[b] is more correct?
To my mind, there's very little, if any, difference. I'd personally prefer a].
Best wishes

1. Using the searchbar
Enter your keywords into the main search box to find images.
You can run wildcard searches using *.
For example do* will search for dog, dogs, dolphin, dodecahedron and any other word beginning with 'do'.
To narrow down your search, use the following options:
AND: Searches for both terms associated with an image. E.g. vase AND flowers will search for vases with flowers
OR: Searches for either of the terms. E.g.? vase OR flowers will search for both vases or flowers
NOT: Excludes terms from a search. E.g. vase NOT flowers will search for vases that do not have flowers
2. Using the Advanced Search pop up
If you're looking for something specific, you can run a more complex search with our advanced search option.
Searching in a specific field
Title: e.g. The Kiss
Artist: e.g. Gustav Klimt
Medium: e.g. oil on canvas
Location of artwork: e.g. Osterreichische Galerie Belvedere
Search using a year, or year range: e.g. 1920 to 1930
Or by century, or century range: e.g. 20
3. Using special keywords
When using the main searchbar you may want to use our special keywords to narrow down the results:
OUTOFCOPYRIGHT: Works by artists that are out of copyright
INCOPYRIGHT: Works by artists that are in copyright
HR: Images for which we have high resolution digital files (at least 2000 pixels on the longest side)
ALLCLEAR: Restriction-free images
PUBUSEOK: Permission pre-approved for editorial use
4. Quick access filters
We have worked extremely hard to condense a great deal of control for you into one simple filter bar. With features such as search within search results, orientation, medium, size of images on screen and more, you will be able to filter down your search quickly and easily to find the right images and footage for your project.
5. Save your search in lightboxes
Create lightboxes of your favourite images to share, download (low-res) and purchase. Anyone can create a temporary lightbox, but you must be signed in to your Bridgeman Images account to save lightboxes and resume your search later. You can create lightboxes in two ways:
Tick the 'Select' box on the image,:
and then choose the 'Make my new lightbox… From selected search results' option in the 'Create Lightbox' section on the right hand side of the browser.
If you would like to select all results that appear, tick the 'Make my new lightbox… From all search results' option.
Alternatively, you can also drag and drop your selected image into the grey box under the 'Lightbox' function.
Press the 'View Lightbox' button to go into the lightbox and edit, download, print and share images. If you share with other registered Bridgeman Images users, they can also edit your lightbox. Non-registered receivers can only view your lightbox.
You can view all your lightboxes from My Account > My Lightboxes.

OTTAWA - A political mastermind behind Stephen Harper's Conservative government made the gruesome discovery of a human foot belonging to a torso found in Montreal.
"I'm fine," Jenni Byrne told The Canadian Press on Wednesday as new details emerged about a crime that's horrified the capital and has some shaking their heads about the political vibe in the country.
The foot arrived via mail at Conservative party headquarters on Tuesday and later in the day police found a second package containing a hand. They confirmed Wednesday that package was addressed to the Liberal party, though never reached its destination.
Both body parts have now been linked to a torso found in Montreal and police are tracking a suspect in the case.
Byrne had been handed the suspicious-looking box when it arrived at Conservative party headquarters just blocks from Parliament Hill on Tuesday morning.
Though it was addressed to the party, Byrne is one of the most senior staffers there, having been the national campaign manager for the 2011 general election.
She examined the blood-stained box and as she opened it, a foul odour escaped and overcame the office.
"It was such a horrible odour, I'm sure many of us will not forget it," said party spokesman Fred DeLorey.
Police were immediately called and when they opened the package further, determined that a foot lay inside.
The disturbing find set off a major investigation that went well into the night as Ottawa police later found a hand at the Canada Post mail facility in the east end of the city.
Liberal party officials and MPs said they weren't informed they were the intended recipient.
"The police will do their investigation and we have no comment," Liberal MP Ralph Goodale said.
Both packages were mailed from Montreal, police said.
There, police had been grappling with a grisly find of their own — a human torso found stuffed into a suitcase in a west-end neighbourhood.
They named a suspect in the case Wednesday afternoon.
"The suspect and victim knew each other," Montreal police Cmdr. Ian Lafreniere told reporters.
"It isn't linked to organized crime."
Canada Post officials refused repeated requests for comment on the incidents or even information on mail security in the nation's capital.
On Parliament Hill, political staffers were keeping a close eye on the mail, rattled by the incident.
"For us, certainly, we've advised our team, our staff in the office, to be careful in the next few days because it's a real concern," said NDP House Leader Nathan Cullen.
His party also rose in the House of Commons to extend their sympathies to the staff at Conservative offices and to Canada Post employees.
"They were both victims of an outrageous and reprehensible act," NDP MP Randall Garrison said.
Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae said there is more to the incidents than just their bizarre nature.
"Behind it is a human tragedy and we should all reflect on that this is a terrible crime has been committed," Rae said.
When asked if he thought the packages were sent with political motives, another NDP MP suggested the incident could be an upsetting reflection on the times.
"It could be just one crazy person that did it but at the same time we have lots of people unhappy in our country, the way the country is going," said Yvon Godin, adding he hoped that wasn't the reason the packages were sent.
Liberal MP Justin Trudeau said he hoped the incident didn't having a chill effect.
"I'm worried about anything that might cause us to pull back or put up any barriers between Canadians and their representatives," he said.
Conservative Public Safety Minister Vic Toews called the incident a "very disturbing development" but wouldn't comment on whether security for MPs had been beefed up as a result.
It was not clear whether there was a political motive behind the packages, but Toews was the target of public attacks earlier this year following his introduction of an online surveillance bill.
A House of Commons committee later found his privileges as an MP were violated when he was threatened by the activist group Anonymous in a series of videos posted online.

Hello, and welcome to the Marriland Wiki, the wiki all about pokemon that you can edit.
Here are some useful links:
We hope you like contributing here, and choose to further this project. Charitwo 01:37, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
no problem for the edit i'm about to do the conquering next so its no big deal, anyway hi i'm Andre and i'm new to wiki.--Sonicman0123456789 18:56, 19 March 2009 (UTC)sonicman0123456789
Hello, hello from Bulbapedia
Captain Vas,
Regarding the copying over of our information on Pokémon Platinum. You can't just make an excuse that "everyone does it", even if it's by your contributors and not you personally. Plainly, the licenses aren't compatible between our two wikis, and ours does in fact require attribution. Plenty of people worked on the page on Platinum over there, and then one or two users copy all the text on the page and just paste it over here. Not only is that not fair, but it's just wrong to do.
So, seriously dude. You wanna be a good Marriland Wiki? Either write your own articles based on the information itself (you know, like we do) or make an attribution tag (we have our own for Wikipedia-based stuff that we began with). And tell your users that direct copying of Bulbapedia articles will not be tolerated, not that "everyone does it so oh well". We've had to deal with our own issues in the past and stopped people from doing it, so why can't you?
Please take care of this problem.
Thanks, TTEchidna, Editor-in-Chief, Bulbapedia
my bad
of course. i'll try to use better grammar from now on.
The wiki's nemeses, Revenger Amalia
I am back. But I am now pure evil. Sure, you'll find me good on most wikis, but on this one, I am going to get revenge until you amet yourself as a loser. To start, I vandelised your userpage and going to vandelise more until you say about being a loser. Amalia 13:31, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
- She's back. Quick, block her off this wiki forever. I have seen her on other wikis doing good stuff and with a heart of light, but this wiki she is heartless. She is no vandeliser, but needs to be baned forever from this wiki only. Emilyc 13:43, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
- Evil Amalia is no more. She has been blocked off forever, but what is wrong with her? WARNING: She might start her own Pokemon wiki for users with hearts. I heard a rumer that she thinks this wiki is too grouchy and all users with kind hearts should be on the light path of pokemon in her new wiki called Pokemalia. (She did not creat it yet, but is going to have it rivalry with this one.) Emilyc 03:41, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
- It doesn't take a genius to figure out that "you two" are the same person or at least know each other. The fact that you seem to know all of these "rumors" and some poorly concocted story, with the additional sloppy grammar, is a dead giveaway.
- Listen, if you don't want to edit here then don't, it's as simple as that. Second, you can't start a new wiki about the same subject material on Wikia unless it's in another language. Now please, stop bugging me with your nonsense. -- Captain Vas 20:08, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Captain, just wanted to stop by, say hi and congrats on the recent growth. We're here to help, so if there is anything the gaming team can help out with please let me know. In the meantime, either myself, Joe or Richard will check out the mainpage and SEO for the wiki, and make some suggestions to improve search traffic and minor tweaks for the wiki.

Creating A New Page Problems
CV, I'm not sure, but in the main page, shouldn't there be a "Create New Article" section? SapphireKirby777 19:56, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
- On newer wikis or a wiki with few articles, a box located under the heading "Helping Out" will give users the option to create a new article. It's usually removed after a while though, when a good amount of articles are created.
- If you're looking to create an article you can either click on a specific red link which will take you to the article's creation page or type in what you're looking for in the search box. Searching for a page is a good way to make sure it hasn't already been created, but if it doesn't exist you'll be given the option to create the article. -- Captain Vas 20:08, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. On other wikis, there was a such said section. Just wanted to know if you were aware of that. SapphireKirby777 19:08, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
Hey, thanks!
I'm adding articles that wern't here before; articles like that of the Surfing Pikachu, which deserves more recognition. Furaito 20:31, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
Dear Captain Vas,
Why did you erase the Mewtrhree page I made?
Please answer on my talk page. --Samus Fan101 18:55, 1 May 2009 (UTC)Samus Fan101
Thanks for the suggestion, but the page you gave a link on seemed a bit more professional than mine. It had all the info I had down. I'll delete the page I made. What a waste of 20 minutes! SapphireKirby777 19:56, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi could I possibly become an administrator? As you can see I have made a quite a few edits. Thanks Hydrojames.
Oh cool, thanks anyways.
Vandalism and Incorrect Pages
Hi, I have changed some vandalism on the newly created Persim Berry page, see the history. There is also an unneeded page that is incorrect called Ash's Monferno which needs deleting. I have placed the delete tag on it.

Three weeks? He was only a new wikian. Next time, give him a warning. Larxene 02:12, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
This is your final warning Vas. If I see one more vandal edit by you or your IP, you're getting a year long ban and de-admined. Understand? --Charitwo 21:21, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- @ Grawp: Hi! Remember me? I'm on this wiki too!
- @ Vas: The above message is from a Grawp incarnation. I'm sure you need no introduction to him. This vandal spent a couple of weeks trolling Bulbapedia with a million and a half IP addresses until we locked all account creations. Check our block and user registration logs for more details. Good luck dealing with him! I'd tag all his pages for deletion, but it's probably easier to go down his contribs list and attack all of his (top) changes. I'm behind you if you or your admins need assistance. — THE TROM — 00:56, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- On second thoughts, it's probably easier if I grouped them all together for you. Also keeps them out of the line of sight, somewhat. thetrom 05:57, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes, no problem, but at the beginning of the week I have not enought time... Hopefully I could do that the next days. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 16:44, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Today I finished Template:Move infobox. You can rename and/or correct all the possibly typos and translation errors you find... I found that you did a style change to make it more similar to the Pokémon infobox. If looked great also. If you feel comfortable with it, use your version instead. The template uses images for the types, so you could use them and then need to upload them with the proper name (File:Water_type.png) or use a simple link or whatever. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 20:29, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

P.S. If you can't do that could you recommend someone else on the community page who I can ask? Thanks

The cupola goes on
Dr. Gary Bonvillian, President of Thomas University, watches Wednesday, May 15, as construction personnel use a crane to place the cupola on top of Smith-Bonvillian Hall, the newest building on Thomas University's Main Campus. Construction on the 19,000 square-foot building, which includes classroom spaces and faculty offices, will be completed in time for Fall Semester 2013.

Penton named Thomas University's Professor of the Year
When colleagues describe April Penton, they talk about how she goes beyond academics to make sure her students develop key life skills, such as empathy and compassion. Penton, an assistant professor of early childhood education, was named the Professor of the Year at Thomas University during the annual Commencement ceremony held Saturday, May 3, in the gymnasium on TU's Magnolia Campus.
During the course of her career spanning more than 30 years, Penton has been a teacher, an administrator and a university faculty member. A resident of Tallahassee, Penton holds bachelor's degrees in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education as well as a master's degree in Early Childhood Education, all from Florida State University.
Penton was hired as a full-time instructor in 2005 after previously teaching as an adjunct instructor. In 2010 she was promoted to assistant professor. During fall semester 2007, Penton served as the Interim Chair of the Division of Education.
"April exudes enthusiasm and love of teaching every day," said Dr. Susan Lynn, Chair of the Division of Education. "She always presents a professional demeanor and has positive interactions with others. She encourages her colleagues and students by praising the good work they do and challenging them to go beyond and to reach higher and further than they thought possible."
Before joining Thomas University, Penton spent 25 years working with state leaders in Florida to professionalize the field of early childhood education. Her expertise as a teacher and principal led her to be an advocate for issues related to preschool education and early childhood teacher certification.
At Thomas University, Penton eagerly learns about and then implements new technology in the classroom. Her classes are in a hybrid format, which utilizes both technology and face-to-face teaching methods. She works to improve TU's campus as a part of the Sustainability Committee, which she initiated. Penton also coordinates the monthly Science Café series, which brings in scientists to talk to TU and community members about different topics in a casual environment.
"April is a passionate educator who inspires the best in teacher candidates and colleagues," said Dr. Ann Landis, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. "She has played a significant role in the development of many of the excellent teachers in our regional school systems."

Weatherstripping 101
Sealing drafts is one of the best—and smartest—ways to reduce your home's energy costs in winter and summer alike. While the concept is easy to understand, there's plenty to know about the various types of weatherstripping products and how they are best used.
Weatherstripping is a time-honored method of minimizing window and door drafts. In the winter, weatherstripping prevents heated air from escaping the home and bars the entry of cold from the outdoors. In the summer, weatherstripping performs the identical role, except at that time of year, the air inside tends to be cool (in a house with air conditioning, at least), and the air outside tends not to be. Most homeowners have heard of weatherstripping and are comfortable with the concept, but some are intimidated by the highfalutin name, because it may conjure up images of a complex system or an elaborate installation process. The reality, however, is not at all scary. Weatherstripping refers to a group of straightforward, easy-to-install products that do nothing more than seal gaps in house components that swing, slide, or lift. Here is a rundown of the most popular weatherstripping products.
Weatherstripping tapes are popular and inexpensive. Made of compressible, flexible material, these work well to fill irregular gaps. Most foam tapes and felt strips can be cut to size with scissors, and because they're self-adhesive, they are very easy to install. Be sure, however, that you are applying the product to a clean surface.
Best uses: doorstops, casement window stops, double-hung window rails
V-strips are made of vinyl or thin, flexible lengths of metal. The former option costs less and is easier to put in because one side of the vinyl self-adheres; metal V-strips are nailed into place. In either case, installation involves removing the window sashes to access the channels along which they slide.
Best uses: meeting rails, double-hung window jambs, window stops
Tubular in shape and rubber-like in composition, gasket-style weatherstripping installs along the bottom of exterior doors by means of nails or screws. (Door sweeps are more common for this application.) A gasket might also be employed to seal between an overhead garage door and the concrete floor slab.
Best uses: exterior doors, garage doors
Door sweeps, which are made of vinyl or rubber, or of bristles with a backing, attach via screws to the bottom of an exterior door. They are commonly available at hardware stores and home improvement centers; some door sweeps go on the outside, while others are meant for the inside. Consult the manufacturer's instructions.
Best uses: exterior doors
Every home is different, of course. Each has its own quirks and idiosyncrasies—and particularly in older constructions, a host of air leaks that defy general, one-size-fits-all classification. Still, the following are perhaps the most common places where homeowners use weatherstripping to improve air sealing:
• Exterior doors (including French doors and sliding patio doors)
• Attic hatchways
• Doors to nonconditioned spaces (for example, from the house to the garage)
• Garage doors
• Windows (casement, sliding, awning, and double-hung)
First, seal any gaps around doors or hatchways that connect to the attic—this is where air pressure and air leakage are greatest. Next, check exterior doors; if you see daylight around a closed door, install weatherstripping. By the same token, if your windows rattle in the wind, that's a pretty sure sign that they too would benefit from weatherstripping. On a cold day, it's easy to judge these things: If the area feels chilly to the touch, weatherstripping is (at least part of) the answer.

2007 Scion RIDEMAKERZ xB
Scion announced its partnership with RIDEMAKERZ™, an innovative new toy car customization retailer inspired by Build-A-Bear Workshop®. The Scion RIDE, based on the new xB urban utility vehicle and the latest model in the RIDEMAKERZ lineup, was unveiled at the 2007 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show, the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world. The partnership and product will please tuners, kids and parents alike.
2007 Scion RIDEMAKERZ xB
"Scion is iconic for the ways in which our customers make customization happen, and we and RIDEMAKERZ both look at cars as canvases for self-expression. We now have the opportunity to take this experience to kids, as well," said Lisa Materazzo, Scion national marketing and communications manager. "SEMA represents the customization and originality that is possible within the automobile industry and Scion feels it is the perfect showground to celebrate our new venture with RIDEMAKERZ."
The two brands are complementary in their approach, with the "driver" in charge of uniquely customizing their "ride." RIDEMAKERZ invites guests, or "Customizers™," into the ultimate car-customizing shop where they travel through seven zones to create a one-of-a-kind RIDE. The zones, entitled CHOOZE, SONICIZE, MOTORIZE, MOBILIZE, CUSTOMIZE, PERSONALIZE and
CRUIZE™, are used to select body style, paint job, sounds, engines, accessories, and decals. Between them all, RIDEMAKERZ estimates there are more than 649 million possible combinations, not including individual decal placement.
"We're thrilled to partner with Scion to help bring the car-customizing movement to the next generation," said Larry Andreini, ZEO (CEO) and founder of RIDEMAKERZ. "The process of building a kid-sized Scion and then personalizing it is pure fun. It sparks creativity and 'engineuity' and lets kids, in particular, create their own cool, customized version of an extremely popular real life car. There's truly no experience like it."
The Scion RIDE is available in Cannonball Black, Comet Blue and Wasabi Green and measures approximately 12 inches long. Once the approximately 1:18 scale xB models are tricked out, Customizers create a personalized license plate and receive their own Certificate of Title, which includes a unique RIDE Identification Number (RIN). This number can be used to view and interact with their RIDE online at RIDEMAKERZ.COM. The pint-sized xB ranges in price from $22 for the Cannonball Black and Comet Blue versions to $25 for the Wasabi Green. Custom accessories range in price from $2.50 for grille guards and hood scoops to $15 for a deluxe "Muscle Kit" that includes a blown engine, spoiler, side pipes, muffler tips and roof vents. Radio-control can be added for $25.
SEMA attendees will be able to view a large-scale model of the Scion xB special edition RIDE in the Scion booth located in the Central Hall, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, as well as enter a raffle for a chance to win a special edition RIDEMAKERZ xB designed and signed by Troy Sumitomo, from Five Axis, a renowned customization and fabrication shop in Huntington Beach, Calif. Similar to his "one off," life size creations, these one-of-a-kind mini models are a work of art.
Kids of all ages can build the new Scion RIDE on RIDEMAKERZ.COM (with a Z) and at Shops located at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, S.C. and the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn. In November, RIDEMAKERZ will open two additional Shops at the Spotsylvania Towne Center in Fredericksburg, Va. and at Castleton Square Mall in Indianapolis, Ind.
The RIDEMAKERZ experience is specifically designed to provide choice, unleash creativity, foster confidence, encourage cooperation, and instill a sense of community, which also are hallmarks of the Scion brand. Scion and RIDEMAKERZ appeal to the young, and young at heart, tapping into the innate desire to build and create, generating not only pride in affiliation, but also pride and ownership of one's own creation.

Best-in-class user interface. Smart approach to filters. Dedicated plans for internal and external training. Standout mobile support with useful secondary apps for iOS and Android. Nearly two dozen learner language localizations. Optional Mercury Module adds billboards, surveys, polls, and contests.
Plans are only viable for mid- and large-size offices.
Bottom Line
If you have a medium-to-large-size business with employees to train, Absorb is the most attractive and functional turnkey learning management system we've tested.
In the crowded corporate Learning Management System (LMS) market, Absorb breaks away from the pack by providing an extensive feature list (from gamification to integrated e-commerce), smart tag-based filtering, and a best-in-class contextual interface with responsive Web design. Certainly, there are more affordable alternatives, such as Litmos, for smaller business. However, Absorb is the most attractive and functional turnkey LMS we've tested, and it's a bargain—for larger offices.
Similar Products
Absorb LMS caters to the corporate mid-market. While businesses with 2,000 or fewer employees comprise the majority of its customers, the company has begun to make inroads into the Fortune 1000 market. Accordingly, pricing falls somewhere between mid-market and enterprise. Though more affordable than comparable competitors such as SumTotal, Absorb may be out of reach for small businesses: Plans start at $1,250 per month with another $4,000 in one-time setup fees. In addition, about half of Absorb's customers purchase the Mercury Module, a $425 per month add-on that enables administrators to create billboards, push out news articles, polls, and surveys, and to manage leaderboards with contests and rewards.
To put that number in context, Absorb's add-on costs more than entry-level LMS subscriptions from Axis LMS, SmarterU, and DigitalChalk. That doesn't make Absorb a bad deal; rather that the LMS competes for a different slice of the market. Similar to Halogen TalentSpace, Absorb license pools start at 500 users. (If you calculate the annual cost for an office of 500, Absorb costs about half as much TalentSpace). The LMS also takes a novel approach to e-commerce: Customers can monetize internal employee training for free, and if they want to sell courses for external employee training, they simply pay $5 per learner.
Absorb is in a class of its own when it comes to UI design. Consider the approach to Dashboards. Absorb offers tabs for Overview, an aerial view of your recent activity, reports, and messages; Learner, which uses charts and graphs to visualize engagement, logins, learning time, and completions; and Courses, for which the system curates information about the top courses, completion rates, and links to the most recently created courses. Each Dashboard functions as a gateway to Absorb's most popular functions, and rather than asking administrators to return home to access those dashboards, shortcuts are also nested from the left-aligned menu.
The Absorb menu functions as the primary mode of navigation, enriched via its interoperation with the contextual right-aligned sidebar. The sidebar will retain selections until you refresh it by clicking on a new menu item. For example, if I click on Courses in the menu bar, the sidebar reveals options related to adding a new course. (More on this shortly.) Click on Users and the sidebar furnishes options to add or import users from a CSV file. Selecting Add User reveals tabs for general information (like name, email address, username, password, department), details (avatar, location, language localizations), and account status (learner, instructor, admin), while the sidebar enables selections to be saved or cancelled.
In addition to Dashboards, Courses, and Users, the Absorb menu also includes options for e-commerce and the Mercury add-on. When it comes to e-commerce, the system includes a built-in shopping cart, or you can use the RESTful API to link the LMS to your company's existing HR or CRM software. The Mercury Module unlocks additional design options as well as communication and gamification features, including billboards, articles, surveys, polls, and points-based contests and rewards, all of which can be distributed globally or to particular groups or departments.
Filters and Reports
Perhaps most relevant to an administrator's day-to-day, reports are enhanced with smart filters. Absorb bundles a trove of standard reports, each of which administrators can tailor with filters. Consider the Learner Competencies report: In addition to reordering columns (drag and drop), re-sorting data (clicking on column headers), and selecting multiple items (shift-click), you can filter the competencies column by clicking a magnifying glass. Perhaps I want to filter for names that contain "Adams." Then, maybe I want to filter for an expiration date equal to August 1. For each filter, an editable tag will pin to the top of the page.
If I anticipate running my Competencies report again, I can save the layout to preserve its filters. Once I've saved my layout, I can export the report as a CSV, Excel, or PDF, schedule it for email delivery, or share it with groups or departments using Absorb's integrated messenger. Sharing reports within the LMS is particularly clever: Because Absorb shares the parameters rather than the content of the report, you needn't worry about someone seeing something they shouldn't see. The LMS curates data based upon each recipient's role, and administrators can be excruciatingly precise in those roles without a cap on the number of roles they can create.
Absorb divides the course assembly process into a series of generally well-defined tabs. Unlike other LMS alternatives, you needn't create the shell of a course before you post content. Instead, high-level course details, such as branding, is housed in one (General) of a handful of tabs. Alongside that general information, administrators can supply supplementary materials (Resources), manage logistics related to course completion, failure, competencies, and certificates (Completion), and define how, when, to whom, and at what cost the course will be offered (Availability). All the tabs are intuitive enough, except one (More) where Absorb seems to stash miscellany, and honestly, I don't see why the contents couldn't be distributed elsewhere and that tab removed. (For example, the option to allow comments on a course could be rolled into Messages, which could be renamed to something like Communication).
In testing, I found that the most important tab was the Syllabus, through which you create and structure course materials. Absorb LMS divides courses into units (Chapters) comprised of lessons (Learning Objects). In like manner, entire courses can be arranged in a collection (Bundle) or sequence (Curriculum) to build competencies. As with reports, the syllabus is malleable: You can reorder lessons and units via drag and drop, or edit their contents at anytime. You can either swap between administrator and learner interfaces or use the Preview button to review changes. I found that swapping between profiles helped me to remember to click Save after I made changes.
When selecting the file source (File Manager/Upload tool), there is a Preview button that can be used to preview your content in a new browser tab before you commit to it.
Absorb is a savvy course assembler. The LMS is extremely generous in its support for videos (I uploaded a two-hour MP4 file) and file types, both of which you can save as Global or Private Course Files. When it comes to existing courses, Absorb accepts all major standards, including SCORM, Tin Can, and AICC files. Assessments are flexible, as well. Administrators can build multiple-choice question banks for Surveys and Assessments, or create written assignments (Tasks). Action-Based Survey answers are particularly useful. Educators can create a survey question so that, depending upon the learner's response, one of several actions occurs: a specific value (e.g.—text) is pasted into a custom field on the learner profile; the learner is awarded one or more competency badges; or the she is enrolled in one or more courses. Finally, alongside traditional online courses, Absorb accommodates Instructor-Led Training in the form of in-personal tutorials or webinars. Absorb even offers a mobile Instructor Toolbox app for marking attendance of ILC events.
With a lean tile-based interface laser-focused on course enrollment (My Courses), listings (Catalog), materials (Resources), and scheduling (Calendar), the learner side of Absorb LMS leaves users with few reasons not to keep training. Thanks to the site's voluminous language support (23 and counting) and responsive HTML5 design, a variety of learners can work in a variety of ways. There's even a new feature (available in beta, expected in Q3 of 2015) that will soon allow learners to download courses, work offline, and sync their progress.
Absorb earns our Editors' Choice designation by doing everything you might expect of an LMS, and with panache. Given that it is a turnkey LMS for mid-to-large-size businesses, it won't serve everyone's needs. Education customers might prefer our other top pick, the free, open-source Moodle LMS. Litmos LMS is another option given its affordability. However, if you have a midsize or large office, Absorb is an excellent LMS that promises to get even better. (The company maintains a weekly feature release schedule.)

I'm pulling a Duncan Davidson and going to start posting more on Tumblr. Typepad just feels too big and slow sometimes. By the time I pull it up, login, navigate to my blog, find the new post page... the urge to post has passed. The Typepad quick post feature is kind of nice but doesn't let me do quite enough.
Already Tumblr has encouraged me to post more often (and queue things up). I hope it'll encourage me to share more of my photography as well.
I hope you'll check it out:

* FHA financial audit expected this week
* Mounting losses could lead FHA to tap Treasury for funds
* The mortgage insurer supports about $1.1 trillion in loans
By Margaret Chadbourn
WASHINGTON, Nov 13 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Housing Administration, weighed down by losses on souring loans, will release a report on its finances later this week that could point up the possibility it may require taxpayer aid for the first time in its 78-year history.
The annual analysis, overseen by an independent auditor, will calculate the solvency of the FHA's mortgage insurance fund under a range of economic assumptions.
The FHA has nearly exhausted its reserves for the more than $1.1 trillion in mortgages that it insures, though officials at the agency have repeatedly said that it could avoid turning to the Treasury Department for cash injections.
Critics maintain taxpayers could soon be on the hook if losses continue to mount at the agency, a key source of funding for first-time home buyers and those with modest incomes. FHA's cash reserves fell to a record low of $2.6 billion last year.
Republicans are likely to cry foul if the report points to a growing need for a cash infusion, although consumer advocates say the support the agency has given to low-income borrowers and the housing market as a whole has been worthwhile.
"The agency has managed a balancing act by financing affordable housing and at the same time trying to maintain a sound book of business," said James Carr, a senior policy fellow at Opportunity Agenda, a low-income advocacy group. "While the FHA has taken responsible actions to avert a larger financial hole, the report could indicate they need to draw from Treasury."
The FHA, which offers private mortgage lenders guarantees against homeowner default, increased its share of the home loan market when the housing bubble burst, more than tripling its loan portfolio. It now insures about one-third of all U.S. mortgages, up from about 5 percent in 2006.
FHA-backed loans made from 2005 to 2008 have eaten away at its cash reserves. The agency has struggled to manage the growing glut of delinquencies on home mortgages it insured during the housing crisis, and some analysts say profits on loans guaranteed over the past three years may not be enough to make up for those losses.
The FHA is legally required to keep a 2 percent capital ratio, which is a measure of the fund's ability to withstand losses. It has failed to meet that target for three straight years.
Edward Pinto, a former official at mortgage finance heavyweight Fannie Mae, believes the FHA is underestimating its future losses and that its growth strategy is problematic.
"A substantial portion of their loans continues to be high risk," said Pinto, a resident fellow at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. "While they've been trying to dig themselves out of this hole, to some extent the hole has gotten deeper."
The FHA has never needed an infusion of funds from the Treasury because it has been able to take other actions, including raising insurance premiums, to stay solvent. Those premiums help cover the costs related to defaulted mortgages, and it is possible the agency could raise them again to shore up its finances instead of turning to taxpayers.
The FHA avoided the need for a taxpayer bailout earlier this year because it received an almost $1 billion payment from a U.S. settlement with mortgage servicers on claims of lending abuses.
An audit last year said the FHA faced a nearly 50 percent chance of needing a bailout, leading Republican lawmakers to express alarm over the agency's precarious financial condition. They worried the FHA could become like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage companies the government rescued in 2008 that have absorbed nearly $190 billion in taxpayer funds.
The divide over the government's role in the market will be a major hurdle for policymakers when they eventually revamp the U.S. housing finance system.
Analysts say FHA insolvency is not a sure bet, and supporters of the agency cite the role it has played in filling the gap left by the exit of private lenders and the drying up of credit when home prices fell sharply.
"They tend to take on risky loans, but what they have done over the last few years is still a good thing. They have stabilized the market," said Robert Van Order, a professor at George Washington University. "Going forward, they will have to realize their losses, which are a lot less than banks and what Fannie and Freddie have cost.

Meet Shirley Schooler
Shirley Schooler has worked for the district for 18 years, the past 10 as the registration and accountability administrative assistant for the Disability Support Programs and Services Division (DSPS). "I have been blessed to work with such wonderful individuals over the years that share the same vision and dedication in assisting students in reaching their goals," Schooler says.
"Shirley is an excellent employee who has taken on both short- and long-term tasks to ensure the division continued to run smoothly through multiple administrative and staff transitions," says one of her nominators, Marilyn Booye, DSPS Division senior coordinator.
Schooler has taken on the task of Banner SI expert for the DSPS Division and continues to provide assistance and training to her colleagues. While Middle College has been reassigned to the Office of Outreach and Relations with Schools, she has continued to handle all registration duties and works as a liaison between Middle College and the rest of the campus.
"Every year at their commencement ceremony, Shirley is acknowledged for her kindness and warm welcoming demeanor that greets the students to De Anza every year," says Jim Haynes, faculty coordinator for DSPS. "In doing so, Shirley is a wonderful ambassador to those students whose first administrative interaction with De Anza College is with Shirley. It is no wonder they choose De Anza after they have received their high school diploma from the Middle College Program."
Many of her colleagues agree with Haynes and Booye. "Shirley is an outstanding employee who projects a positive and professional attitude every day," says Monica Sheirich, instructor with the Hope program. "She is always willing to assist, despite how busy she is, to help others complete their work on time and with a high degree of accuracy. Without Shirley we could not effectively do the jobs that we do."
Debbie Centanni, EDC director and learning specialist, and the EDC staff call her "self-motivated and self-managed." She is described by the EDC staff as an individual who prides herself on a job well done, who completes work on time, who follows through with her commitments, and who demonstrates a high level of respect for both EDC and DSS staff and for students.

Karen Carpenter Had Only Just Begun
By: Linnea Crowther
6 years ago
The death of Karen Carpenter is one of the great tragedies of the music world. Blessed with a warm, friendly singing voice and a natural flair for drums – but perhaps feeling a lack of control over her life, professionally and personally – she turned to diets to shape the one thing she felt she could control: her body. Anorexia nervosa and its vicious circle of dieting and pills eventually led to her death 30 years ago at the young age of 32.
While she lived, Carpenter partnered with her brother Richard to form Carpenters (there's no "The" in the official name), one of the most popular musical groups of the 1970s. They did slow ballads and bouncy pop tunes with equal ease, showcasing Karen's lovely contralto voice and Richard's skill with arrangements.
In 1979, after 10 years of singing sweetly with Carpenters, Karen Carpenter wanted to try something new. She recorded a solo album that took a distinctly different direction from her work with her brother. The disco beats were in touch with the hot sound of the day, but the album wasn't released – record-label execs were unimpressed, and so was brother Richard.
Would Carpenters fans have loved the new, solo Karen Carpenter? It's hard to say – we don't always respond well when our favorite artists deviate from what we're used to. Sometimes, all we really want is more of what we've come to love, and that seems to be what record company A&M was banking on when they nixed the project. But there was very little of what fans loved still in store by the time the solo album was shelved. Just one more Carpenters album would be released before Karen's death February 4, 1983.
It's not easy to come to terms with the fact that what we love best from an artist isn't necessarily what she wanted to do. But perhaps there's some common ground for Karen Carpenter and her fans: the drums. Carpenter often looked happiest behind a drum kit, whether she was singing along with a favorite ballad or just providing intricate rhythms and impressive solos. She always seemed to drum with a smile on her face, and that smile was contagious.
