What GAO Found
We compared FEMA's training of reservists with the training provided to reservists at the SBA, the Forest Service, and the Coast Guard--agencies with a disaster mission--and found similarities and differences; and, moreover, FEMA had not examined other agencies' training programs to identify useful practices. All four training programs shared some similar attributes with regard to training requirements, funding sources, training delivery, and training evaluation. For example, FEMA and two of the comparison agencies have a credentialing program used to document reservist qualifications. Differences included the timing of when training is delivered and the use of job aids to reinforce reservists' understanding of material covered in training courses. Regarding timing, SBA, the Forest Service, and the Coast Guard each train their reservists in advance of deploying these individuals to a disaster. However, factors such as the way in which FEMA funds its disaster program have limited the agency's ability to train its reservists in advance of deployments to disasters. FEMA plans to begin allowing up to 2 weeks of reservist training outside of deployments under the new reservist program during fiscal year 2013. Differences we identified in training practices indicate that an examination of other agencies' reserve training programs could be beneficial. For example, FEMA may benefit from examining the Coast Guard's use of job aids, which reinforce reservist training course material after course work is completed. As part of our work identifying key attributes of successful training programs, we have previously identified developing partnerships and learning from others as a core characteristic of a strategic training process. FEMA officials stated that while they had not looked to other agencies' training programs, training practices at other agencies that we highlighted in this report provide useful information for FEMA as it works to improve its reservist training efforts.
Why GAO Did This Study
Hurricane Sandy made landfall on October 29, 2012, in New Jersey, leaving extensive flooding, loss of life, and property damage across the eastern United States in its wake. Within 3 days of the hurricane's landfall, more than 2,300 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) personnel were working to support response operations, including search and rescue, power restoration, communications, and logistical support in states affected by the storm. Hurricane Sandy was one of 46 federal major disaster declarations in fiscal year 2012. From fiscal year 2007 through fiscal year 2012, there have been 422 federal major disaster declarations in which FEMA has obligated $39 billion in major disaster assistance payments.
Within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FEMA is tasked with leading the nation in mitigating, responding to, and recovering from major disasters, both natural and man-made. To carry out its mission, FEMA relies heavily upon its Reservist Program, an on-call reserve workforce that is deployed when needed to assist disaster survivors. As of February 2013, there were 6,795 reservists, who constituted 36 percent of FEMA's disaster workforce. In April 2012, FEMA announced that it was transforming its reservist workforce, formerly known as Disaster Assistance Employees. Among other things, the transformation to the Reservist Program transitioned reservist assignments from a regionally based structure to a nationally managed program.
We have identified several challenges related to FEMA's reservist training practices. Specifically, in May 2012, we reported that FEMA's reservist training was not consistent with key attributes of effective training and development programs that could help to ensure that its training and development investments were targeted strategically. We recommended that FEMA establish a plan to ensure all reservists have opportunities to participate in training and are qualified and that FEMA develop a systematic process to track training costs. FEMA officials agreed with the recommendations. In October 2012 the agency launched the FEMA Qualification System (FQS) and the Incident Qualification Certification System (IQCS) to track reservist training and qualifications. According to the officials, they anticipate that IQCS will enable FEMA to better track training costs. In April 2012, we also reported that FEMA's training information system did not provide a comprehensive or accurate account of all training activities of FEMA employees, including reservists, and we recommended that FEMA develop systematic processes to collect and analyze training data. FEMA agreed with the recommendation and is increasing its capacity for analyzing training data through the development of a human capital data warehouse.
Congress asked GAO to assess FEMA's reservist workforce training. Our objective was to examine how FEMA's reservist workforce training compares with training of other similar agencies, and to what extent FEMA has examined these agencies' training programs to identify useful practices.
What GAO Recommends
To enhance its training of reservists, we are recommending that FEMA examine the training practices of other agencies with disaster reservist workforces to identify potentially useful practices. DHS concurred with our recommendation and described plans to address it. DHS, SBA, and the Forest Service provided technical comments, which we incorporated as appropriate.

Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In April 2015, FEMA officials provide a memorandum that described the agency's establishment of an Executive Level Task Force that met with representatives from the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Department of Transportation. According to the memo, the task force selected these organizations because they maintain similar reservists or deployable forces. Based on discussions about the tools and systems they used to manage their respective work forces, the task force identified best practices and FEMA used these practices to inform their development of an incident workforce cadre management directive (FEMA Directive FD 010-9, issued June 9, 2014) and a cadre management guide. These documents describe formal roles and responsibilities for the reservist workforce, including oversight and management, staffing, equipping, training and education, qualifying, and performance management. These actions should enhance FEMA's training of reservists and help the agency better meet its goal of having qualified reservists.
Recommendation: To enhance its training of reservists and meet its goal of having qualified reservists, the FEMA Administrator should examine the training practices of other agencies with disaster reservist workforces to identify potentially useful practices.

Lots of eyes will be on Denver today, and a 1 p.m. hearing on Secretary of State Scott Gessler [1]'s lawsuit against Denver Clerk and Recorder Debra Johnson [2].
Gessler sued Johnson [3] to stop her from sending mail ballots to registered voters who are classified as "inactive/failed to vote." The judge who will decide the case is Denver District Court Judge Brian Whitney [4]. So, what do we know about Whitney?
– He became a judge in January 2007. Before that, he worked as the first assistant attorney general for the special prosecutions unit of the Colorado Attorney General's office. He also has been the chief environmental prosecutor for the state of Colorado.
– He was an electrical engineer before he went to law school. He earned his law degree from the University of Denver.
– As of the 2010 election, Whitney was a registered Republican, according to voter registration records.
– In 2010, 90 percent of attorneys surveyed by the Commission on Judicial Performance [5] said he should be retained, while 8 percent said no and 2 percent had no opinion.
– Among his higher-profile cases (or at least those in the Post archives), he was the judge who warned anti-tax crusader Douglas Bruce during a hearing that he wouldn't be "bullied" [6]. (Whitney ultimately decided not to hold Bruce in contempt of court, as the attorney general's office had requested). In December, he ruled that John Elway and his business partner couldn't be moved to the front of the line [7] of people trying to recover millions lost in a Ponzi scheme.
Whitney needs to issue a ruling quickly, but it's unclear if it will come today or sometime early next week. By law, Denver must mail ballots by Oct. 14, but folks at the city would like to do it sooner. The election is Nov. 1.
I'll be tweeting from the hearing this afternoon – for updates follow me @sara_burnett [8]

Gary Lightbody apparently wrote 'Run' after going on a massive bender and falling down some stairs. "The words 'Light up, light up' gave this sense of a beacon. There had to be a light at the end of a tunnel," he said.
Follow Franz's lead and go where you've never let yourself before! Well, at least switch your usual lunch for an edgier meal deal tomorrow.
If any song's going to make you politically motivated ahead of the forthcoming election, it's this anti-Conservative rant from The Jam. "You choose your leaders and place your trust/As their lies wash you down and their promises rust," Paul Weller sings. Let that be a lesson.
Two important things to know about 'There Goes The Fear'. 1. It's imperative you dance like your dad to the jangly bits that sound like the Grange Hill theme tune. 2. Make the most of the track's passive motivational skills by letting the lyric "You turn around and life's passed you by" give you the fear factor.
Do what La Roux says (go in for the kill, do it for the thrill, etc. etc.) on her sassy electropop debut and you're sure to tackle whatever naysayers might come your way with aplomb.
Two parts aggressively energetic, one part hilarious ("I never eat a pig 'cause a pig is a cop"), 'Jump Around' has featured in at least two action movies, 'Daredevil' and 'Rush Hour', so is certified motivation music.
Combine forceful synth stabs with stirring lyrics - "We are your friends/ You'll never be alone again" - and you have a track so powerful it'll defeat even Hollyoaks Omnibus laziness.
Something about this synthy, bubbly, giddy tune turns tedious jogs through rundown towns into excited dashes through vibrant metropolises. It's the ultimate 'pretending to be in a movie' exercise song.
What better way to begin the day than with double-drum-kit, full-throttle Arcade Fire. Just make sure you pick the "Now I'm ready to start/My mind is open wide" lyrics as your mantra rather than the "Businessmen drink my blood" bits. That would be weird.
Containing the word 'adventuring' 8 times and the word 'adventurer' 10 times, if Be Your Own Pet haven't convinced you to head off on at least a mini-break by the time you finish listening to 'Adventure' you're a stone-hearted individual.
Question: Wouldn't life be 100% better if you lived everyday like you were Missy Elliot? Answer: Yes. Make sure you "Getcha getcha getcha getcha getcha freak on" and today will be a glorious day.
Surely The Strokes have missed a trick by not re-releasing this classic now YOLO's a thing? Anyway, aside for the obvious hedonistic title, this track has the kind of good vibes that make positive memories scroll through your mind like a 'Big Brother Best Bits' video montage.
Don't be fooled by the laid-back beat, this is a song about winning at life. Its title was taken from 'Scarface' in which Tony Montana makes the phrase his mantra.
Let's slow down the tempo a little because even lazy Sunday mornings can be motivational. The mix of hazy melodies and lyrics like "I believe you get what you give" is potent.
If Drake started at the bottom and got his whole team here so can you. He used to work all night, drive home through traffic, be hungry, live at his momma's house and argue with her monthly but now nothing's poppin' off without him.
Okay, so this video has that weird ginger genocide storyline but let's ignore that. The lesson to learn here is "Yeah I don't wanna live for tomorrow/ I push my life today".
This is probably one to listen to in the secrecy of your bedroom if you don't want to ruin your street cred. It's a bit, well, 'X Factor final' now (cheers Simon Cowell). Still, listening to 'Dog Days Are Over' puts an uplifting summer glow on dull, grey days.
If Kanye's breathless 'I Am A God' doesn't make you want to get up on your feet, not much will. It's time to get stacking millions till you're chilling with Jesus and remember, never ever accept sloppy service when it comes to croissant.
Life lesson to take from 'Bossy'? Stop being nice to everyone. Remember: "You don't have to love me/ You don't even have to like me/ But you will respect me". Now, dominate the office.
That riff, that anti-establishment attitude: whether you're doing a 20 minute crosstrainer sesh or powering through your tax returns, try your hardest to channel 'Teen Spirit' in moments of stress.
The musical equivalent to your mum standing at the bottom of the stairs shouting "No, not in five minutes! Do your homework NOW".
If you're trying to psych yourself into getting out of a mundane job/relationship/town this is the song to scream.
Do we really need to explain why we chose this? No track is more hype than 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger'.
Spike Lee commissioned 'Fight The Power' for his movie 'Do The Right Thing'. "I wanted it to be defiant, I wanted it to be angry, I wanted it to be very rhythmic," he told TIME magazine - and that's why it's the perfect motivator.
Originally used to slew Asher D in a rap battle, you can now use 'Fix Up, Look Sharp' to convince yourself that sweatpants are never office appropriate. Even on casual Friday.
Egyptian journalist Mono Elthahawy says of 'Seven Nation Army': "Every time I hear the opening lines it just takes me to Egypt, where people – I've never seen anything like it. Literally, nothing can hold them back." If it's good enough for the Arab Spring it's good enough for you.
We imagine that when Beyonce faces the mirror each morning she looks herself in the eye and thinks "Who run the world? BEYONCE". You should do the same.
Beth Ditto wrote Standing In The Way Of Control as a response to a US Amendment which would have outlawed same-sex marriage in the country. Explaining the ruling made her friends feel "helpless and cheated," she said: "I wrote the chorus to try and encourage people not to give up."
A stone cold motivational anthem, guaranteed to put you in the zone. When it comes to getting yourself in gear, look no further than the king of overconfidence.
Put this on, yell the lyrics at the top of your voice and pretend it's 2am on Friday night, you've got your arms round your mates and anything is possible.

Update: Dudley has been ruled out Saturday against the Bulls after suffering a right wrist strain Friday against the Nets.
Recommendation: Dudley's X-rays came back negative, so the injury doesn't figure to sideline him for more than a few days. Dudley has played over 35 minutes in each of the last three games, opening a sizable swath of playing time for Shannon Brown, who will take Dudley's spot in the starting lineup Saturday.

We're always skeptical when products promise the sun and the moon, but Dr. Jart's Premium Beauty Balm truly delivers. A four-in-one primer, moisturizer, sunscreen, and treatment serum, the formula helps you cut down on the grooming clutter. This tinted balm uses adenosine to improve skin's elasticity and arbutin to brighten and even out skin tone. An antioxidant bio-peptide complex provides anti-aging properties and promotes collagen production, while titanium dioxide and zinc oxide add broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection.
I have tried my fair share of BBs and this is by far the best I've ever used. In the past I've had a hard time striking a balance between just the right shade to match my skin, enough coverage, while not feeling thick or heavy. This product fits all of my needs! It matches my skin perfectly and gives me enough coverage to cover my uneven skin tone. The best part is, when I put it on I forget that I even used it. THAT is how light it truly feels. I will definitely be purchasing the full size version in the near future.5
I like the idea of a BB cream that has multiple uses. I was first worried about the color since I am so fair, but the color matched perfectly. It does add a bit of coverage but I would only wear it under light foundation, not by itself. The texture is nice and it would probably give good coverage for others, I have acne prone skin and I need a little heavier coverage to cover the acne up.4
I really liked this!!
i went on so smoothed and looked so natural.
i like thats its not heavy but still gives me nice coverage . also looks pretty natural .
i ill most likely be purchasing this product
ive heard so much about this brand and really wanted to try it.
so happy i got the chance

user interface
Abbreviated UI, the junction between a user and a computer program. An interface is a set of commands or menus through which a user communicates with a program. A command-driven interface is one in which you enter commands. A menu-driven interface is one in which you select command choices from various menus displayed on the screen.
The user interface is one of the most important parts of any program because it determines how easily you can make the program do what you want. A powerful program with a poorly designed user interface has little value. Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that use windows, icons, and pop-up menus have become standard on personal computers.

Utah Utes football: John White determined to bounce back
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah running back John White had a devil of a time against Arizona State. The senior netted just 18 yards on 14 carries in Saturday's 37-7 setback. He lost yardage on five of his rushes and fumbled the ball away twice.
Hardly the stuff, obviously, of a returning all-conference honoree who broke Utah's single-season rushing record with 1,519 yards in 2011.
Although White missed the BYU game a week earlier with an ankle injury, he insists all is well physically.
"I've got to go out there and play," White said. "I think I'm just thinking too much and that's just the bottom line. I think it's that."
White explained that when nothing is there he just needs to "knife" his way forward like he did last season.
"I've just got to go back to that and stop thinking so much about the big play and scoring every time I touch the ball," White said. "It's just down and distance."
Besides moving the chains with his runs, the "Wolfman" is determined to take care of the football. "I've got to get better," he said.
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham and quarterback Jon Hays are confident White will return to form when the Utes return from a bye week to host USC on Thursday, Oct. 4.
"I expect him to bounce back and respond. He's a proven commodity. He gained 1,500 yards last year. It's not like we don't know what his capabilities are," Whittingham said. "He's probably the first one who will admit he's disappointed in his performance and so we expect him to be a strong suit for us going forward."
White has rushed for 233 yards and one touchdown on 65 carries this season, well off last year's pace.
"It's definitely not characteristic of John White," Hays said. "But he's going to work hard this week — you know he is — and he's going to bounce back."
The Utes are counting on it. Over the past two seasons, they're 9-0 when White tops 100 yards rushing and 0-7 when he doesn't.
"I've just got to go out there and get better," White said. "That's all I've got to do."
White noted that he had a similar game to ASU in high school and bounced back from it. Although the poor showing against the Sun Devils is still in the back of his mind, White is confident he'll get past it.
"It's just all about how you come into the game," White said. "You've got to come into the game like they owe you something because you've got to go out there and run the ball hard. That's all it is."
This time, however, White is adding another ingredient to the mix.
"I think I'm going to be more of a meaner guy because I can't have this," White said, while noting that he's ticked off about the situation. "I've got to come back with a higher confidence for this USC game. I'm going to be practicing hard every day and every week like I normally do. I'm going to come back."

LIFE after 50 - Current Issue - June 2015 Vol. 25 No. 6
Remembering American Heroes
Left, President Abraham Lincoln (portrayed by John Voehl), addresses the crowd at the unveiling of a bronze plaque commemorating that portion of the Mt. Pisgah Cemetery near Cripple Creek that was set-aside for the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) exactly 95 years ago. The G.A.R. was founded in 1866 as a fraternal organization of Union soldiers who fought in the Civil War. In 1920, 38 soldiers were moved from a cemetery in Arequa to join the six already interred at Mt. Pisgah. In this process, many of the markers were lost. When new marble markers were ordered, the names and units were no longer known and the graves subsequently marked "unknown."
It's official: Y will operate Colorado Springs Senior Center
Written by Jeanne Davant
The city of Colorado Springs will enter into an agreement with the YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region to operate the Colorado Springs Senior Center and will implement a transition plan over the next three months.
Aimee Cox, Community Initiatives Manager for the city of Colorado Springs, told a large group of seniors, friends and senior advocates that she expected an agreement with the Y to be signed by the end of May. Her comments came at a meeting May 13 at the Senior Center.
Between now and Sept. 1, when the Y will take over operations of the Senior Center, "We want to see how we can bring like-minded people together to serve seniors," said Boyd Williams, president and CEO of the Y. "We have so much to learn from you so we can truly serve the needs of the largest growing segment of our population."
He said the Y and the city intend to make the transition as seamless as possible so seniors don't feel the change.
"Everything through the summer is going to continue as is," Cox said. "We will spend three months listening, interviewing, recruiting and learning about how the programs and operations are here. We will write policies and procedures and prepare operations for the fall. That will give us plenty of time to learn."

MASSAGING MACHiNE. APPLICATION FILED SEPT. 18. 1914.
1,1 34, 181 Patented Apr. 6, 1915.
CHARLES lVI. BUMP, OF BAY CITY, MICHIGAN.
Application filed September 18, 1914.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES M. BUMP, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Bay City, in the county of Bay and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Massag ing-Machines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to massaging machines and is of the type adapted for the massaging of the back adjacent the spinal column in a manner similar to the osteopathic treatment of the spine.
It is the object and purpose of my invention to provide a machine of this kind by which one can give massaging treatments of this character to himself without the necessity of going to a skilled practitioner.
It is a further object of the invention to combine with the structure a means for giving electrical treatments in connection with the massaging treatments.
Other objects and purposes will be apparent as the description progresses, and as understanding is had of the construction shown in the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my massaging machine. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of an element of the machine. Fig. 3 is a side view of said element with parts shown in section. Fig. 4: indicates in dotted out line the normal position of the parts of the machine and in full lines the extreme position occupied by said parts in the course of a treatment therewith. Fig. 5 is a detail of the support for said machine; and Fig. 6 illustrates, diagrammatically, the method or manner in which treatments with said machine are taken.
Like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the several views of the drawing.
In the construction of my massaging machine, a base 1, preferably of metal, is provided and at each end thereof are secured upright sheet metal sections 2 having bent therefrom the angular extensions 3 which bear against and are secured at the ends of the base 1. At the upper corners of each of the sections 2 are pivoted the metal segments 4 which extend toward each other and which at their adjacent ends are provided with Specification of Letters Patent.
. Patented Apr. 6, 1915.
Serial No. 862,283.
gear teeth 5 meshing one with the other as shown. Adjacent a lower corner of each segment 4 is pivotally attached the upwardly extending sheet metal members 6 which cross each other as shown and which are pivotally connected together, a rod 7 extending between and furnishing the pivotal connection for each pair of the members 6. Rods 8' are also provided extending between the lower ends of members 6 and passing through the segments 4:, the ends thereof being received in the slots 9 cut in sections 2.
At their upper ends each of the members 6 are provided with inturned horizontal portions 10 to which are attached the jaws 11, the outer edges of which are provided with corrugated formations 12 simulating the knuckles of a persons hand. There are two of these aws 11 as shown carried by and between a pairrof the spaced apart members 6. Rods 13 extend between the members 6 as shown, passing through openings therein, the pair of rods 13 being spaced apart and having interposed therebetween coil springs 14 under tension, the normal tendency of which is to draw the rods and consequently the jaws 11 closer together.
A link 15 is pivotally attached on the inner side of each of the members 6 as shown in Fig. l, and at their upper ends the links of a pair of members 6 are brought together and pivotally secured adjacent the upper end of a member 16 which is positioned substantially upright and which at its lower end is slotted at 17 passing over the rod 7 There are two of'these members 16 which are spaced apart and lie adjacent the spaced apart pairs of members 6 and at their upper ends they are secured to the downturned ends of a cross bar 18, which carries on the upper face thereof, a bar 19 consisting of a core formed preferably of wood and covered with a fabric covering 20, preferably of felt. The wood center or core is bored for a portion of its length for the reception of a wire 21 which may be carried to any convenient place for connection with a source of electric energy.
The machine as thus constructed is adapted to be supported with the base 1 in a vertical plane as indicated in Fig. 6, a bracket 22 being attached to any suitable support such as a wall. or the like and carrying a depending rod 23 which passes through openings in the sections 2 of the machine as shown in Fig. 1 and which carries the collar the beginning of said ofieration th me-meet 24: adjustable along the length of rod. 23 and adapted to be fixedv in place at any point along the length thereof by the set screw 25. The base 1 on the underside thereof is provided with a plurality of members 26 preferably of rubber, or at least rubber:
covered, which may bear against the wall as shown in Fig. 6 withoilt danger of marring or defacing it. e v a Iii tfe operation of the rnachin'e it'is' strp' ported with the base ina vertical plane indicated in Fig. 6 and-the colla r 24 ml: 'lls'ted to any desired position" on the rod23; The person takifig the treatment pbsitions' himself before the machine with the terru'gated sections at either side of the Spinal column, and their by" pressing: back: ward against the maehi'ne the tension of the s rings 14% may be oyercome' andthe jaws wh'ch' terminate in the rnrgated po tnae 12 may be forced apart, this peratidri befitg indicated in v show the initial position at the beginning of the operation and full lines the final fi'o sition.

Gallery: Luminescent Fiber Optic Wallpaper by Camilla Diedrich
What if we could light our homes with glowing wallpaper rather than having to rely on electric lights? Swedish designer Camilla Diedrich has asked this exact question, and in response, created a stunning line of luminescent wallpaper that is lit by fiber optics. Her Nature Ray Charles Wallpaper features a delicate assortment of floral motifs that shine through in lucid lines, adding a touch of energy-efficient ambiance to any room.

Can someone advise me were this to bye led or optical wallpaper
January 18, 2009 at 6:51 am
Absolutely beautiful…it would be even better if it had music or sound effects. However, does it need to plug in to get the lights on or it workes automatically in the dark? how much is the value?
January 14, 2009 at 9:24 am
don't be fooled I have ordered this wallpaper.. there are no fiber optics in it … its just normal wallpaper with light drawings in them..
January 12, 2009 at 1:44 pm
I like your site a lot! Very beautiful 3d wallpaper ! I will advise all my friends to visit your site!
November 13, 2008 at 6:02 pm
This is a really neat, beautiful idea. My only objection is that the brain naturally relies on light coming from above to detect whether objects are concave or convex, and other similar distinctions.

Mixbook, a provider of customizable photo books, cards and calendars, has been honored as one of Forbes' America's Most Promising Companies for 2013 – a list of one hundred privately held, high-growth companies with bright futures.
Founded in 2006 by Andrew Laffoon and Aryk Grosz, Mixbook is featured in the February 11, 2013 edition of Forbes Magazine as one of "The Nifty 50." The complete list, along with videos featuring Laffoon and other honorees at Aileron Entrepreneurial Institute, is now available on Forbes.com.
"We're thrilled to be recognized by Forbes," said Andrew Laffoon, Mixbook CEO/Co-Founder, who was also chosen as one of America's Most Promising CEOs under 35. "It certainly reinforces the Mixbook vision and our mission to completely redefine the photo book, card and calendar making experience. From our website to new iPhone app, Mosaic, we continue to empower our customers to create tangible, permanent memories from their photos."
For the Most Promising list, Forbes strove for a holistic gauge of young, privately-held companies, trying to pin down their trajectories by looking at a slew of variables. Over the course of six months Forbes reviewed thousands of applications. The final assessment is based on growth (both in sales and hiring), quality of management team and investors, margins, market size and key partnerships.
Forbes turned to CB Insights, a Manhattan-based data research firm that specializes in assessing private companies, to refine the search. Their software scans 45,000 sources to measure a company's health. A new distribution deal, for example, marks a positive signal, while the loss of an executive is a negative. The software gathers those myriad signals into a final score that Forbes uses as an initial guide in producing the list. After verifying sales numbers, speaking with each company and debating their merits and blemishes, Forbes produces a final ranking.
About Mixbook
Mixbook is a rapidly growing company that allows people to create completely customizable photo books, cards and calendars on the web. Founded in 2006, Mixbook provides a customer-centric, user-friendly experience to capture memories in a tangible way. Its co-founders have been named to Forbes "Up and Comers" and to Inc.'s "30 Under 30." In late 2012, the company launched Mosaic, an Apple app that brings life to photos on a user's device by creating a unique 20-image photo book in minutes, arriving in three to four days.

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...
