I'm new to the android app market and was wondering what the Crunchyroll community has enjoyed so far in terms of android apps suitable for Japanese studies.
I'm looking for anything and everything: IMEs, SRS and other repetition programs, dictionaries, translators, games, tools , JLPT preparation -- whatever you've had success with so far.
Ideally I'm looking for programs which are still heavily usable while in offline mode, as I'd basically like to load up my new phone with a lot of Japanese apps, and then reduce my data plan to its bare minimum.
These are free apps I use.
Dictionaries: These both use Jim Breen's WWWJDIC, but in different ways.
* Aedict -- Better examples and flash cards
* WWWJDIC -- Better drawing recognition when using Kanji Recognizer (a separate app).
Flash cards:
Japanese Verbs
Japanese Conjugation
Japanese Words
JLPT Practice -- Also allows you to take practice JLPT tests (separate purchase)
Obenkyo -- Wide variety of flash cards, plus contains grammar textbook
Writing practice:
Kanji writing game -- Can test how well, quickly, you write kanji.
青空文庫 -- Contains a variety of classic Japanese books and stories. Entirely in Japanese.
I guess I'll camp onto this thread to ask the CR community: What Android Japanese IME do you like using?
I'm using OpenWnn Plus currently, which worked just fine with my older Droid phone that actually had a physical keyboard. Now, though, with my Droid 2, when using the romaji input with the virtual keyboard, the keys at the extreme edges of the screen don't register (not sure if it's a problem with my phone or the app). So, I'm left with using the Hanabi input method, which is just not very convenient for me.
This is Japanese IME for Android.
・Google Japanese Input (Free)
ATOK is a good. Bat not free &Little heavy for some phone.
I'm using OpenWnn plus too, with a very old Droid phone. From time to time, it locks up so I have to switch back to the default keyboard. Other than that, it works pretty well and I find it's predictive text to be pretty good.
Anki is flashcard program it is great. I also have Aedict installed. While I am in Anki I can look up a word with Aedict get example sentences and analyze kanji compounds . When I in Aedict I can send definitions to Anki. I forgot to say this is Anki 2 which is a new update to Anki and works a lot better then regular Anki. I just got my android about 3 months ago., and it is awesome.
I have an Iphone from work (they gave me)with the same Anki app installed and it is nowhere as good as the android version. Plus it cost $19 bucks for the Apple one while the Droid was free.
Ever wonder what the I stands for in Iphone and IOS? Idiot's
that would be Idiot's phone.
Idiot's OS
as far as Keyboard isu the IQQI - japanese.
It seems I have most of the recommended apps thus far.
As for IME, both myself and my teacher are fond of Simeji.

can I ask what apps you have found usefull that may not have been recomended ?
I made a fully offline Japanese-English dictionary that can handle offline OCR too. It's an android app (of course) and can take Romaji, Kana, Kanji and English queries. I use it myself for reading Japanese letters in the mail.
You can link up to my other free Japanese translation apps from the app store too.
To keep the Forums tidy, closing threads that have been inactive for six months or more.

RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. (AP) A judge has decided a law banning sagging pants in this town is unconstitutional after a teenager spent a night in jail on accusations he exposed too much underwear.
Julius Hart, 17, was charged last week after an officer said he spotted the teenager riding his bicycle with 4 to 5 inches of blue-and-black boxer shorts revealed.
Hart's public defender, Carol Bickerstaff, urged a judge Monday to strike down the sagging pants law, telling him: "Your honor, we now have the fashion police."
Circuit Judge Paul Moyle ruled that the law was unconstitutional based on "the limited facts" of the case. Technically, however, the charge hasn't been dropped yet: A new arraignment awaits Hart on Oct. 5.
Voters in Riviera Beach approved the law in March. A first offense for sagging pants carries a $150 fine or community service, and habitual offenders face the possibility of jail time.
Bickerstaff said she wants the city to drop the law regardless of whether anyone dislikes low-riding pants.
"The first time I saw this particular fashion, I disliked it," she told the judge. "And then I realized I'm getting old."

The Overlord Process Governance (CDL) Team are pleased to announce the availability for version 1.0.M2 of the Overlord Process Governance (CDL) component.
The two main changes in this release are (1) the addition of a "lighter weight" approach to the "conversation aware" ESB actions mechanism, and (2) the introduction of WS-BPEL generation from the choreography description.
This "conversation aware" mechanism in M1 required state information to be persisted for each service instance, and used by subsequent invocations of the same service instance to understand its context within a business transaction. However this has added a significant overhead in the implementation and execution of the service. Therefore this M2 release introduces a lighter weight approach. The previous M1 approach is still available and referred to as the 'stateful' approach, whilst the new approach is referred to as 'stateless'. As the name suggests, this new approach does not require the service to persist and use state information. The only requirement is that it uses a few custom ESB actions that enable the behaviour of the service to be inferred and used to check for conformance against a choreography description.
The WS-BPEL generation is the first stage towards more general support for WS-BPEL governance against a choreography description. Subsequent milestones will enhance the generative capabilities (including generating the appropriate WSDL) as well as providing conformance checking to ensure the BPEL process conforms to the expected behaviour as defined in a choreography description.
Feedback on this release, and suggestions for features in subsequent releases, would be appreciated and can be recorded either in the Overlord User Forum or by creating an entry in the JIRA issue tracking system.

Vince Carter's
Where: 2150 LPGA Blvd., Daytona Beach Contact: 386-274-0015 What's the lowdown: The Dallas Mavericks' Vince Carter could invest his income anywhere in the world. But he has kept his faith in the hometown that set him on his course to fame and fortune. While playing for the Orlando Magic, Carter opened his namesake eatery, a sleek and stylish complex that includes a restaurant, bar and private dining. The basketball decor is elegantly low key, with textured menus and cocktail napkins adorned with simple ball graphics. Just inside the door, a small area showcases the Vince Carter story with photos.

Rodgers: 'Embarrassing' ref ignored Gerrard 'assault'
Brendan Rodgers labelled his beaten Liverpool side "absolutely magnificent" after Wednesday's 2-1 defeat to Tottenham, claiming they were victims of some "embarrassing" refereeing decisions.
Liverpool fell two behind early at White Hart Lane, with Aaron Lennon capitalising on a fine run from Gareth Bale, before Bale netted from a free-kick. A Bale own goal gave Liverpool hope, but they could not turn their dominance into goals.
Rodgers' men enjoyed 65 per cent of the possession in north London and had 17 attempts at goal. Steven Gerrard felt he should have had a penalty for a foul by Moussa Dembele, while Luis Suarez claimed for another against William Gallas, and Rodgers also felt Clint Dempsey dived for the free-kick that led to Spurs' winner.
"It was embarrassing to be honest. Two clear penalties, Steven Gerrard… it was bordering on assault, never mind a tackle," Rodgers told Sky Sports News. "It was frightening how we never got a penalty for that.
"Then if you watch Luis Suarez get kicked by William Gallas. And then there's what leads to their second goal, the player dives. Clint Dempsey falls over without contact.
"So everything went against us."
Rodgers largely preferred to focus on his own players, claiming the better team lost as Liverpool tried everything to recover from their early deficit. Defeat leaves them 12th in the table.
"I thought we were absolutely magnificent. I don't think we can come here and play any better than that," Rodgers said.
"We'd have been disappointed to come here and draw the game, but to come and lose was bitterly disappointing for the players because they were fantastic.
"You see the spirit of the team [after falling 2-0 down], it was relentless and the standard of the some of our play was outstanding. My thoughts are with my players because that was a game we dominated."

This giveaway is now closed. The winner, chosen by Random.org, is Caroline Mellis. Thank you so much to all who entered!
My hands are always busy. I'm brushing little girls hair, putting away dishes, cooking dinner, changing diapers, giving hugs, typing, turning book pages, washing mirrors, vacuuming… you get the picture.
This week, my hands were busy attempting to make pie crusts. If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, it's possible you have seen my 10 failed attempts to create a good pie shell. I took helpful advice from everyone as to why my pie crust might have been folding in and collapsing. No matter what I tried (freeze the butter, chill the flour, use pie weights, crimp the crust over the edge, etc. etc. etc) my results were the same..not good.
After one such frustrated tweet, my phone rang. Hands covered in flour and butter from working the dough, I normally would have just skipped the call. When my VTech phone system caller ID announced it was my mom, I knew I wanted to answer it. Luckily, I had on my hands free cordless headset that goes along with my VTech LS6475-3 phone. I didn't miss the opportunity to chat with my mom (and to hear her great advice about my pie crust efforts) because I was able to talk with her free of using my hands to hold the handset.
We are definitley busy… you are too. It's a fact of life right now for most of us. Multi-tasking is the only way to stay on top of things and survive. The VTech Multi-Tasking Phone System let's you keep doing whatever is on your to-do list all the while enabling you to stay in touch with friends and loved ones via phone.

One of our favorite places to escape to is Austin, Texas. It's a fabulous city, full of life – especially if you are kid-free!
Gone are our kid-free days. 9 years ago when we went to Austin with our first baby, we had a quick realization that there are things and places that are baby friendly – and others that are not. While our motives in Austin may have changed, it's still one of our favorites cities – Here's what we found:

Bats are best seen in the summer months.
Learn more about the Congress Bridge Bats.
Food Trucks on Congress 4 of 10South Congress is a must-see in Austin. A baby-friendly stop is the food truck park on South Congress. Try out some new cuisines. Our 10-month old loved the avocado cone at The Mighty Cone.

Pedernales Falls State Park 6 of 10Perdernales Falls State Park is 35 miles west of Austin. Enjoy a day of swimming and hiking. The main office can give you the best route when adventuring with baby!

In Win Na External HDD Enclosure Review
These days, it seems as though we are always in need of those extra gigabytes of storage for our media. Flash drives are too small, and our external hard drives are packed like a can of anchovies. If this is the case, then it's always a good idea to have an external HDD enclosure. External HDD enclosures can be quite handy for the traveller, the musician or gamers that are frequently attending LAN parties. With enclosures, anyone is able to carry a true SATA hard drive, and depending on the enclosure limit, can carry as much as 500GB to a a terabyte of storage. There are plenty of companies that offer external enclosures and today we will be looking at one offering from In Win. In Win, a company founded in 1986, is one of the leading manufacturers for high quality chassis', enclosures, and power supplies. Today we will have a look at the In Win Na, a stylish, pearl-white HDD enclosure.
Closer Look:
The packaging of the In Win Na isn't anything out of the ordinary. It comes shipped in a brown box with the name and brand logo on each side. Upon opening the box, you see a plain white box, one bag, a manual, and what appears to be a gift from In Win.
Beneath the top layer is the well packaged enclosure. What is also included is a power adapter, a USB cable, an eSATA cable and four screws used to mount the hard drive.
What you also receive is a beautifully "hand-crafted" piece of china made of 100% porcelain to go along with your matching enclosure.
Now let's take a closer look at the enclosure itself.

Marion County's unemployment rate for August was 7.9 percent, an improvement from 8.3 percent in July and 10.1 percent in the same month last year.
Marion County's unemployment rate for August dipped to 7.9 percent, an improvement from 8.3 percent in July and 10.1 percent in August last year.
Data released by the U.S. Department of Labor Friday morning show Marion had 124,975 people employed in August, up 426 from 124,549 in July and up 4,087 from 120,888 in August 2012.
At the same time, the number of people reported in the Marion labor force was 135,680, a drop of 123 from 135,803 in July, but an increase of 1,168 from the August 2012 number of 134,512.
Rusty Skinner, CEO of Workforce Connection, which helps job seekers and employers in Marion, Citrus and Levy counties, said the figures were "not unexpected."
"July and August is generally sort of a catch-your-breath period where we figure out where we're going," Skinner said. "When I look at the long term, I think we will see how we're moving forward and how we're responding to the economy in September."
Skinner attributed to increase in employment to large hiring events in August for Burlington Coat Factory, Custom Window Systems and Caregiver Services, among others. Meanwhile, the slight reduction in the labor force is fairly standard for August, he said, with students who worked jobs during the summer leaving to return to classes, some job seekers scaling back their searches due to summer's dog days and some people finding jobs out of the county and moving.
In a news release issued by Workforce Connection, Rebecca Rust, chief economist of the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, noted Ocala's metropolitan statistical area held firm with the sixth-highest unemployment rate among 23 areas in Florida. In the ranking of Florida's 67 counties, Marion sits at No. 49, with Hendry having the highest unemployment rate at 15.4 percent and Monroe having the lowest at 4.0. Alachua has the fifth-lowest jobless rate at 5.4.
Total nonagricultural employment for the Ocala metro area was 94,500, up 1,400 jobs over the month and 2,600 over the year for a growth rate of 2.8 percent, according to the release, which also noted Moody's Analytics and Forbes magazine recently ranked the Ocala area fifth in the nation for projected job growth.
Seven industry sectors gained jobs over the past year, according to Workforce Connection: trade, transportation and utilities, more than 1,000; education and health services, more than 600; leisure and hospitality, more than 500; professional and business services, more than 300. Three more sectors added more than 100 jobs each — mining, logging and construction; financial activities; and manufacturing.
Meanwhile, the Department of Economic Opportunity ranked the local Workforce Connection No. 8 among the state's 24 workforce regions in August, noting it placed 1,189 job seekers, an increase of 41 percent over the same month in 2012.
Skinner said he thinks Marion, Citrus and Levy are moving back to "normal, positive steady growth rates that have been a hallmark for them over time."
"We certainly took a plunge that was dramatic," Skinner said. "We had one of the highest unemployment rates in the state, some of the biggest job losses for a while. In Marion, that was really because our employment markets were so driven by housing and manufacturing. Then you had something like (the collapse of mortgage giant) Taylor Bean & Whitaker."
"We have a fairly stable recovery underway," he said. "But because the fall was so precipitous, it's certainly not what we would like to help those people who are without a job right now."
A factor in that relative stability, according to Skinner, is combining economic development with attention to existing employers.
"You want FedEx to come here and bring a bunch of jobs, but if all you dealt with was the big-ticket economic development projects, as important as they are, and you didn't rely on the existing-business recovery and growth, you wouldn't have the type of economy we have," he said.
As for the future, Skinner said a key area to watch is national politics.
"As more of the uncertainties at the federal level are resolved in terms of budget and we get past some of the sequestration issues, people can figure out what they can count on and what they can't and they have some level of business certainty," he said. "I think all of those things will help nationally and certainly help us."

More than one in four believe Twin Towers were brought down with explosives
Steve Watson
June 14, 2011
A new scientific poll reveals that almost half of all New Yorkers would support a new investigation into the collapse of World Trade Center building 7, which fell at free fall speed into its own footprint on the afternoon of September 11, 2001, after suffering only relatively minor fire damage.
The poll, conducted at the end of last month by by the independent Siena Research Institute, found that 48 percent were in favor of the Manhattan District Attorney or New York City Council opening a new investigation into the collapse of WTC 7.
The survey was commissioned by "Remember Building 7", a transparency group led by 9/11 family members, NYC Coalition for Accountability Now (NYC CAN) and Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth (AE911Truth).
The survey highlights the fact that almost ten years on there is still significant concern over the official explanation of events on 9/11.
The poll extended to 643 New Yorkers, including respondents in all of New York City's five boroughs.
It also reveals that only 49% who were aware of Building 7′s collapse believe fires brought it down. 24% believe it was a controlled demolition, and 23% are unsure.
Moreover, the survey finds that 36% of all respondents are inclined to believe critics who argue against the government's explanation that the collapse was caused by fires, while 40% are inclined to believe the government's account, and 23% are unsure.
In addition to the doubts over WTC 7, the poll finds that 28%, over a quarter of all respondents believe the Twin Towers were brought down with explosives or some other demolition devices in addition to being hit by airplanes.
Overall, 36% of respondents say they are "not satisfied that we know the whole truth about that day, and it is time to get to the bottom of what happened."

Scores of previous polls on the events of 9/11 have received similar responses. In 2004, just three years after the event, a Zogby poll found that half of all New Yorkers believe that US leaders had foreknowledge of the impending attacks and "consciously failed" to act in response.
The latest survey reveals that much more can be done to raise awareness of WTC 7, however, as 1 in 3 New Yorkers said they were unaware of Building 7's collapse, only 25 percent have ever seen video footage of the collapse, and 86 percent were unable to name the building at all when shown pictures.
The following information spot, commissioned by the 9/11 groups mentioned above will run in New York later this month. Several of the spots are due to air on fifteen different cable channels, including New York 1 News, MSNBC, CNN, Comedy Central, HGTV, Logo, Bio, MSG, YES, VH1, CNBC and Bravo, among others.
The ads, featuring 9/11 family members and funded through grassroots donations, urge the public to investigate the collapse of Building 7 and challenge NIST's conclusion of the event, which contends that a "new phenomenon" caused the collapse, but fails to explain how ground zero workers and media outlets could have possibly had prior knowledge of the event.

LightBike Review
Pankaku Inc.'s LightBike is a nifty little clone of the Tron Light Cycles arcade game of yesteryear–in turn inspired by a particular scene in Disney's swoopy sci-fi classic Tron, starring Mr. Jeff Bridges. LightBike makes an awesome first impression, but the fact of the matter is that it's not a very substantial game… and it's going to look even worse when it goes up to its full $2.99 price.
In case you're unfamiliar with the Light Cycle meme, which has burrowed its way pretty thoroughly into the popular consciousness over the last quarter-century, we'll run a quick recap. You and three other players are each piloting a LightBike in a square arena. The bikes can only turn at right angles, and they can never slow down or stop.
As they move, they generate a permanent wall that traces their path through the grid; if they run into their own wall, or an opponent's, they blow up. The last biker standing wins, so the idea is to try to outrun the others and trap them inside your walls. It's all meant to simulate the relentless precision of data moving around inside of a computer, and it looks pretty darned cool.
LightBike has the Tron business down pat. Every bike is a bright primary color, and the fast action is punctuated by the humming sound effects from the movie. It's also nice and easy to play; tapping on either side of the screen turns you in that direction, while tapping in the center gives you a temporary speed boost, complete with a cool particle effect.
The game also features an interesting take on multiplayer. Two players can play on a single device using split-screen, and then a third and a fourth can join on another device over WiFi. We haven't seen anything quite like this before, and we think it's a great idea.
Unfortunately, when you get down to brass tacks, LightBike is really nothing more than a quick diversion. There are three difficulty levels in the single-player game, and you can beat the first two simply by sticking to the edges of the arena; hard mode takes more skill, but it's still not what we'd call difficult. Once you've mastered the hard mode, you're done with the game. LightBike doesn't keep track of your performance, and there's no level progression, unlockables, or other reason to keep playing.
We can see why LightBike would appeal to those looking for an ultra-casual racing game to play for a minute or two at a time, but even under those circumstances, there are much better options available. We have a feeling that this game's popularity is going to drop off significantly when it moves from 99 cents to $2.99 in a few days.

Hospital Competition Hinders HIE – Some Solutions to the Problem

These EMR and Healthcare IT related articles have been viewed over 16 million times. John also manages Healthcare IT Central and Healthcare IT Today, the leading career Health IT job board and blog.

In response to my post about the Real HIE Problem, Tim Dunnington provided this powerful insight into a major challenge that are faced by HIEs. However, more importantly, Tim provided some suggestions on how to solve the problems.
I work for an HIE system vendor, ICA. One of the challenges we see our HIE's face is FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) around sharing patient data. The fear arises in sharing data with other participants that are direct competitors. The competition between participants can lead some participants to refuse to share "their" patient data with other participants, creating complex sharing rules based on these relationships, and meaning that the view of a patient's record will change depending on what facility you happen to be in. This results in the patient's medical record not being complete. The patient, meanwhile, is not aware of these nuances and is not aware that their record is incomplete due to these competitive issues. I can't say we have an answer as to how to solve this, but it's definitely a potentially large roadblock, larger I think that EMR adoption itself.
I would say in response to these issues:
* The EMR determines what data is shared, so you (as a customer of the EMR) should have some control over what exactly is shared and when
* The HIE will not by any means have a "complete dump' of your database; the EMR sends out a limited amount of data about the patient or the encounter
* The interoperability standards are set up to keep participants from attempting what I call "patient surfing," keeping the availability of data to those patients for which you have an established relationship. This means that your competition cannot simply download every one of your patient records, as they have no access to a means to query for all your patients.
* Auditing and regulatory measures ensure that attempts to access records for purposes other than direct patient care are caught and properly sanctioned.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and perspectives on the challenge of data sharing in a HIE. Do you think that Tim's suggestions are good?

Long-Term Review
2013 Dodge Dart: How Sporty Is It?
So far, we've addressed many aspects of the 2013 Dodge Dart in our long-term test. We've covered its gas mileage, discussed the maintenance costs and talked about the Dart's excellent infotainment system. But what about its performance?
Chrysler says the Dart isn't like a typical compact sedan; it's more fun. Does our experience match up?
Well, the Dart certainly isn't a sports car. But we definitely agree it's on the sporty side of the compact sedan game. Handling is very direct for a car in its class, and it outshines rivals such as the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic. It can sometimes feel a little over-assisted, but there's no doubt the Dart always goes exactly where we want and with little drama.
As for power, ours could use a bit more. In fact, the staff would probably agree the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine has been the car's biggest -- and possibly only -- disappointment. It doesn't return the fuel economy we expected or produce the grunt we'd want. Admittedly, the Dart isn't slow on paper, and 160 horsepower is no small figure. But to get any real acceleration, we often find ourselves downshifting more gears -- and more often -- than we'd like.
If you're considering a Dart, though, don't be dismayed. The 2014 model year has brought expanded availability of the 184-hp engine, which was only available last year on the GT. Now it's standard fare on most Dart models, which means shoppers can get a little extra acceleration without paying more for the sporty GT.
Of course, performance doesn't only mean acceleration and handling. We also appreciate the Dart's sporty look, from its alloy wheels to its red stitching. And the stick shift and clutch combine for a slick, easy-to-use setup.
In all, the 2013 Dodge Dart would certainly earn our recommendation if we had a friend looking for a sporty compact car. But we'd include a word of caution: Don't expect stellar gas mileage.

Drivers leasing a Cruze can get the best deal this month, as 2014 models start at $159 per month for 36 months, while 2013 models are just $149. And both deals require just $1,629 down at lease signing. For those who would rather finance, Chevrolet is offering 1.9 percent interest for up to 48 months plus $500 cash back on all 2013 Cruze models, or 2.9 percent for 60 months on the 2014 Cruze.

Chrysler 300
The Chrysler 300 is a full-size sedan available with rear- or all-wheel drive. In July, it offers good incentives whether shoppers are financing, leasing or paying with cash. For cash buyers, Chrysler is touting up to $3,000 cash back -- possibly the best deal, considering the 300's base price of just over $31,000. Qualified shoppers looking to finance can also get a good deal, as Chrysler is offering 0 percent interest on the 300 for up to 60 months. Finally, those looking to lease a 300 can get a 36-month term with payments from $289 per month after $2,999 due at lease signing.
Nissan Altima
The midsize Nissan Altima was fully redesigned for the 2013 model year. The best deal in July is for qualified shoppers looking to finance. They can get 0 percent interest for up to 60 months plus up to $500 cash back. Lease shoppers also get a good deal on the Altima, as Nissan is touting payments from just $199 per month for 36 months after $2,399 down at lease signing on the Altima S. But the best deal is for cash buyers, who can take up to $2,100 cash back on Altima S and SV models this month.
Subaru Legacy
The Subaru Legacy is a midsize sedan that offers the year-round security of standard all-wheel drive. In July, it's offered with several incentives for 2013 and 2014 models. Shoppers looking for a 2013 model get the best deals: Qualified buyers looking to finance can get 0 percent interest for up to 36 months, while lease shoppers can get a 42-month term with payments from $185 per month after $1,985 due at lease signing. For those who would rather have a 2014 model, those numbers jump to 0.9 percent interest to finance or payments of $199 per month to lease.
Toyota Camry
The midsize Toyota Camry is a popular sedan that consistently ranks among the best-selling vehicles in the U.S. In July, it's available with two special offers. The better deal is for qualified finance customers, who can get 0 percent interest for up to 60 months -- a good deal on a car that was recently redesigned. Drivers who prefer to lease a new Camry also can get a good deal this month, as Toyota is touting payments from $189 per month for 36 months after $2,588 due at lease signing.
What it means to you: Our list of sedan deals should help you find a new sedan at a good price.

Indeed he is wrong about this. Apple has steadfastly said they don't want Flash on their platforms so there's nothing Adobe can do about that, but I have a working Flash implementation on my Android phone. Flash is indeed there.
Actually you can compile your flash app into a iOS app with relative ease. Adobe simply bundles a version of the AIR run time with each app. A tad inefficient in terms of app size, but it works, and Apple's policy reversal on non-native apps allows it.

JobGenie needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 145 designs submitted by 45 freelance designers.
JobGenie http://jobgenie.com.au
The JobGenie was created to help companies find great people by using referrals from the social and business networks of their employees. Most professionals have had a phone call saying, "Hey, we are hiring, do you know anyone for this job?" and most recruiters and HR managers have made a call like that.
This exchange is so powerful because it's a well known fact referrals are the most effective way to find great people in any market. We know it from well over a decade of executive recruiting and you know it from your own experience.
The problem is, referrals have often been ad hoc and there has been no easy way to manage them and measure their effectiveness.
So, we decided to create a an automated platform that allow companies to use referrals to find people and track, manage and monitor the process so they can see just how effective it is.
The JobGenie Employee Referral Platform lets companies run their own Employee Referral Program in-house. It is fully automated, tracks and monitors everything for you and runs over the web, so there is no software to install or manage.
We also provide information and guidance on how to run a successful ERP so that you can improve your current program or start one from scratch.
The primary audience is HR Managers and Recruiters in medium sized companies. So, they will be:
• Majority female
• 25-30 years old
• Earning $65-85,000 per year
• University degree
• Professional, risk adverse
Trustworthy & professional yet fun and inviting
Collaborative, helpful, socially responsible, intuitive & non-judgemental
Efficiency, saving time, quality outcomes, makes the users "heroes"
Inclusive, intuitive, easy to use, reliable
Efficiency & focus – clarity of purpose
The brief is to redesign the JobGenie logo, please go to http://jobgenie.com.au to review current logo. This company logo that will be used for the web application and be the centre of the design
used for all business stationary, letterheads, business cards etc
all the artwork for the logo must be delivered in all formats eps, pdf, jpgs etc
these are some of the sites that i like the look of and what the jobgenie application will look like from a design point of view in the future - so when redesigning the logo please keep the look and feel of these sites in mind.

Bonjour networking makes it easy to just collaborate without the hassle of setting up connections and jumping through hoops to see each other.
Of course SubEthaEdit also supports collaboration over the Internet. Just send invites via iMessage or Email. The app takes care of the complicated stuff like mapping network ports in your router and making the document available, leaving you able to concentrate on what matters: Your text.
SubEthaEdit's new Document Hub helps you find what you're looking for. Shared network documents show up next to current and recently used files, making it easy to work together.
Networked documents can be shared privately or publicly for everyone in the office to see. That enables spontaneous collaboration on texts that should be easily discoverable.
SubEthaEdit also allows you to manage access within the document. You can allow collaborators to edit the text, or restrict them to reading only, if needed. Users can be tracked by enabling the Follow mode. Ideal for showing others something in the document or alerting them to a passage of note.
Beyond networking, SubEthaEdit also features innovative and powerful text editing tools, such as Blockedit. This feature allows you to edit multiple lines of text at once by selecting them and enabling the Blockedit mode. Every change you make in this mode is automatically applied to every selected line of text.
SubEthaEdit comes with even more powerful text features like full support for regular expression searches. Out of the box it supports a variety of programming languages and is extendable and customizable. And if you design websites, SubEthaEdit has an integrated web preview that lets you see what your code does, while you type it.
For any questions regarding SubEthaEdit, please have a look at our FAQ or send us a mail.

MA-IR Alumna and Professor Team Up to Conduct Webinar
Professor John Budd and Jennifer Reilly, MA-IR '97, address how to effectively select, motivate, engage, and reward employees.
Sometimes two heads really are better than one. Professor John Budd, Director of the CHRLS and Jennifer Reilly, '97 MA-IR, who works as Director, HR, Growth, and R&D at The Hershey Company, collaborated to create a webinar that addressed how to effectively select, motivate, engage, and reward employees on the basis of what work means to a specific employee.
The webinar was based off Budd's 2011 book, The Thought of Work, which addresses the importance of looking at why employees under-perform. By explaining ten different ways to think about work, he made the point that there is not one best way to motivate and engage employees.
Work can be viewed as a way to serve others, a source of income, a source of freedom, a method of psychological fulfillment, and more. "Work is so complicated that even an individual employee can be motivated by a variety of these factors," Budd says.
Budd had delivered a presentation on the topics discussed in his book during the 2012 HR Tomorrow Conference that drew the attention of Reilly, who attended the conference, and Bloomberg BNA, an independent provider of legal, regulatory, and business information for professionals.
"It really resonated with me as an HR person to think about how each employee thinks about work and how they are unique," says Reilly.
Bloomberg BNA asked Budd and Reilly to give the same presentation to HR professionals across the country through a webinar, favoring the collaboration from both an academic and business standpoint.
"Jennifer's knowledge from the business world added a very rich professional perspective to the presentation, which otherwise would have been more academic and conceptual," says Budd.
Reilly and Budd prepped throughout the summer, communicating by email and phone. The online presentation consisted of PowerPoint slides that Budd and Reilly controlled as they used a voice over; they could also make notes on the slides as they presented.
Both said the webinar ran smoothly, though Budd said the largest challenge was not being able to see the audience he was presenting to. They also could not see if there was anyone tuned into the webinar.
"There's a certain energy you can use from a large audience," adds Budd. "It was hard to give [the presentation] without making eye contact with people."
Participants could ask questions via chat throughout the presentation or at the end via chat or phone. Participants were also able to follow up with Budd or Reilly via email.
Though he does not know the exact number of people who tuned in, Budd said he thinks the webinar successfully sparked interests thanks to the insightful questions asked at the end.
Both Budd and Reilly said collaborating with each other was a good experience, and they would be willing to do a professor/alumna collaboration again.
"It's always nice to re-connect with alumni and to witness their successes and their professional development," Budd says.

Kristen Stewart Sings the Blues
Twilight actress Kristen Stewart appears a bit glum while running some errands with her mother in Los Angeles on Thursday (August 6).
The mom and daughter pair stopped by an office building in Westwood and then headed over to the infamous Chateau Marmont hotel in West Hollywood.
The 19-year-old actress also had a special visitor to her home on Thursday, none other than Twilight co-star, Robert Pattinson! Shouldn't they be in Vancouver shooting Eclipse?

The Federal Communications Commission is demanding that Viacom and ESPN pay fines totaling $1.4 million for misuse of Emergency Alert System warnings.
In 2013, three media companies ran trailers for the film "Olympus Has Fallen," that contained emergency alert warning tones. The movie, starring Gerard Butler and Morgan Freeman and directed by Antoine Fuqua, centers on a terrorist attack on Washington, D.C.
Broadcast or transmission of the tones except during an emergency or a system test is a violation of FCC laws. On Tuesday, the FCC chairman and the four commissioners voted unanimously to impose the fines.

It sounds like more women are channeling Carrie Bradshaw's quote, "I like my money right where I can see it — hanging in my closet."
According to a new poll from Sure Women Linen Dry, the average British woman spends with "Sex and the City" enthusiasm to the tune of around $103,000 during her lifetime.
Shelling out a cool six digits translates to an average of 271 pairs of shoes, 185 dresses and 145 bags. Despite this, 60 percent reported they sometimes felt the pangs of having nothing to wear to work or an evening out.
The damage for women under the age of 25, who fall into the Millennial generation, is even greater at around $160,000 over the years. Retailers see a potential windfall in these high spenders.
Recently, many companies, including Gap and Macy's, have ratcheted up their marketing toward Millennials, who lack the etched-in-stone brand preferences of older generations.
But this picky (and financially struggling) demographic has not been an easy market to catch. Although the group has shown strong interest in high-end retailers, they prioritize value in their spending and go to great lengths to find a bargain — good for consumer wallets but bad for companies' bottom lines.
The poll follows slightly better-than expected British retail sales in May. Monthly volumes grew as stores ramped up their sales offerings to an annual 11.3 percent rise — the highest in more than a decade — to coax consumers to spend despite the country's recession.

Sing Me Your Story, Dance Me Home: Art and Poetry from Native California
Santa Clara, CA 95053-0550
Like the state of California itself, California native peoples are remarkably diverse with more than 300 languages and distinct geographical centers shaping communities, traditions, ideologies, and ceremonies. Sing Me Your Story, Dance Me Home: Art and Poetry from Native California brings together California Native artists and poets in an extraordinary multimedia exhibition. Based on the publication by Heyday Books, The Dirt is Red Here: Art and Poetry from Native California, this exhibition shares the lives, stories, songs, and dances of the artists. Organized in four thematic sections, Sing Me Your Story illustrates how culture, history, ancestry, and story have shaped each of us, regardless of our heritage.
Some of the artists featured in this exhibition include Judith Lowry, Frank LaPena, Rick Bartow, Lyn Risling, Dugan Aguilar, Brian Tripp, and Jean LaMarr. Poets include Janice Gould, Deborah Miranda, Stephen Meadows, and others. The contemporary works of these Native California artists, inspired by a mix of past and present, honor their cultural heritage and bring forward a truly indigenous California existence.
The Sing Me Your Story, Dance Me Home: Art and Poetry from Native California exhibition tour is organized by the California Exhibition Resources Alliance (CERA). The exhibition was developed in concert with Heyday Books and is made possible by generous grants from The James Irvine Foundation, the William Randolph Hearst Foundation, Columbia Foundation, LEF Foundation, the Fleishhacker Foundation, and The Clorox Company Foundation. CERA is a network of professionally operated museums and cultural organizations that collaborate to create and tour smaller, affordable, high quality exhibitions that enhance civic engagement and human understanding. Professional training in conjunction with Sing Me Your Story is supported by The Institute of Museum and Library Servies.

The Frank Church Wilderness
Sitting around a campfire along Big Creek in 1927, Boise Payette Lumber Company executive Harry Shellworth started talking about an idea. This was his 20th trip into the Middle Fork of the Salmon River and this time, he brought some friends along to see the place. He suggested that this part of Idaho should be saved from development. His friends, Idaho Governor H. Clarence Baldridge, Kellogg mining executive Stanley Easton, and District Forester Richard Rutledge among them, agreed.
Fifty-three years later, Idaho Senator Frank Church led efforts to set aside what he called, "the crown jewel of the National Wilderness System." Today, the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area extends through six national forests and is twice the size of Rhode Island and Connecticut combined.
Outdoor Idaho looks at this unique wilderness area. The Frank Church Wilderness would never have come into existence without political compromise. But its preservation came at a price. Frank Church wrote a friend saying he felt saving this part of the state would be his "last major accomplishment for Idaho...
One of the hallmarks of the Frank Church Wilderness is its educational opportunity. Called "America's wildest classroom," the University of Idaho maintains a permanently staffed wilderness field station in the heart of the Frank Church. Taylor Ranch is one of the oldest homesteads within the wilderness. Outdoor Idaho features the students who conduct biological research and the instructors who teach essential back-country skills in this historic setting.
The Frank Church Wilderness is also home to reintroduced wolves. For the last few years, biologists who manage the wolf packs have had help from practitioners of one of human's oldest skills, tracking. Outdoor Idaho goes along with trackers from the Wilderness Awareness School who are testing out modern computer technology to aid them in their ancient art.
Finally this episode of Outdoor Idaho takes viewers along for a llama pack trip into the heart of this giant wilderness. One participant called the experience, "about as close to heaven as you can get."

Hannah Jinkins is a London based designer creating sculptural, ergonomic silhouettes that combine the conventions of utilitarianism and luxury. Inspired by the everyday uniforms of industry, her collections are dramatically transformed using extraordinary tailoring techniques. Running from her studio in South London, Hannah Jinkins operates her namesake label in the manner of a contemporary cottage industry, specialising in uniquely sourced materials and collaborating with local makers to product unique and distinctive pieces. Inspired by the ways in which clothing is worn and adorned in different cultures and subcultures, her work experiments with textiles, texture and embellishment whilst already cementing a strong brand aesthetic, working with rough materials that are feminised through manipulating, fitting and shaping.
Seeking to reveal the beauty in things that have been used, damaged or broken, Jinkins has created an honest and time laboured collection of womenswear, unique and luxury in its quality. Rooted in her research into denim and the culture surrounding it, Jinkins looked into Japanese processes and mantras, exploring Kintsugi – the Japanese art of mending pottery using staples, glue and gold leaf. Using both raw and treated denims, the collection harbours masculine shapes and rough materials, finally manipulating and fitting them with the 'staple-to-fit' tailoring method to create garments that play with the idea of spontaneity and femininity. Working closely with selvedge denim sourced from a denim mill in Japan, the majority of the collection is crafted from raw 13.75oz denim and 10oz twill and original selvedge duck cloth. By utilising heavy masculine fabrics, Jinkins contrasts delicate materials, knits and layering beneath tough exteriors. The entire collection is handmade in London, finished and coated by Jinkins herself, keeping her production home grown, honest and genuine.

This Guest Post is by Bill Lucas of Kishaba Juku of Tallahassee. Bill has been very supportive of me ever since I became a student of Sensei Katsuhiko Shinzato in 2002.
Remember the 2nd Karate Kid movie where Mr. Miyagi taught Daniel San that the secret of his Family's Karate could be found in that little drum?
Well, there are a lot of koshi ideas represented in that drum.
I personally have kept one in my Dojo since I started teaching and use it regularly to describe a couple of the principles of using koshi to make and direct power in Karate techniques.
While the drum can't possibly convey all of the concepts inherent in the study of koshi, there are several principles that I think it can help to illustrate:
- Alignment - the handle that you hold on to to spin the drum with can represent the centerline of the body
- Dynamic compression - the drum head is taut but still flexible. This represents the compression of the koshi.
- Relaxed arms connected to the lats directed by the koshi - As you spin the drum in your hands you can see the way the arms move in relation to the type of rotation applied. Simple horizontal rotation in one direction, say to the left, will move the right "arm." Compound rotation such as to the left and quickly to the right and both move. The quicker the spin and return to "Neutral" (drumhead facing forward), the faster the arms swing out in a whiplike "Koshi Motion."

Car Deals
Green Car Deals: September 2012
Although many shoppers think going green means paying a premium, several of today's top fuel-efficient cars boast great deals throughout September. We've rounded up some of the top green car deals this month to arm buyers with up-to-date information when they set out looking for a brand new set of environmentally friendly wheels.
Chevrolet Volt
The plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt is available with two generous incentives in September. For buyers looking to buy the hatchback, Chevrolet is offering zero percent interest for up to 72 months on all 2012 models, or the same low rate for up to 60 months on the recently released 2013 Volt. Shoppers who would rather lease will also find a great deal, as Chevrolet is offering a two-year term with payments from just $269 after $2,789 at signing on 2012 Volt models. Unfortunately that rate doesn't apply to the 2013 Volt, but most shoppers likely won't mind since the popular plug-in hybrid is largely unchanged for the new model year.
Find a Chevrolet Volt for sale
Ford Fusion Hybrid
Ford's efficient Fusion Hybrid is available with several strong deals in September thanks to the impending release of an all-new, second-generation Fusion sedan. According to the automaker, buyers interested in purchasing the Fusion Hybrid can get zero percent interest for up to 60 months plus up to $2,500 cash back--a whopping deal on a car that remains in high demand. Ford is also offering a good deal for shoppers looking to pay in full, touting cash back payments as high as $4,000, or up to $4,500 for active military personnel and their immediate families.

Hyundai Sonata Hybrid
Although Hyundai's midsize Sonata sedan wasn't updated for 2013, the automaker is advertising several incentives on 2012 models to clear out inventory for the upcoming model year. One such deal is for shoppers interested in financing the Sonata Hybrid, with Hyundai offering zero percent interest for up to 60 months or 0.9 percent for up to 72 months plus a whopping $1,000 cash back. But the best deal is for shoppers interested in leasing a 2012 Sonata Hybrid. Through September, Hyundai is offering lease rates starting at just $309 per month with nothing due at signing--a rare zero-down deal on one of the hottest hybrids on the market.

Lexus CT 200h
Lexus is offering lease and finance deals on its compact CT 200h hatchback through the end of September. According to the automaker, shoppers interested in leasing a 2012 CT 200h can get a 36-month term with payments starting at just $359 after $3,750 at lease signing. For buyers who would prefer to finance the hatchback, Lexus is offering interest rates as low as 1.9 percent for up to 60 months, which is a rare deal on any model from the upscale Toyota brand. And in addition to offering a reasonable deal up front, the CT 200h will also save buyers money at the pump thanks to fuel economy figures of more than 40 mpg in combined city and highway driving.
Toyota Prius
The rarely discounted Prius is available in September with a special lease offer from Toyota. According to the automaker, qualified buyers can lease the hatchback for just $239 per month with an enticing 24-month term. While getting that payment requires $2,399 down at lease signing, it's a great rate for a model that boasts terrific practicality and some of the best fuel economy on the market. For buyers interested in an even more efficient Prius, the automaker's Prius Plug-In Hybrid also boasts a good lease deal in September: $269 per month for 36 months after $2,399 down at lease signing.
What it means to you: Our green car deals prove that going green doesn't have to mean spending more money up front.

Federal Fleet Mgmt. System (FedFMS)
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is proud to announce the GSA Federal Fleet Management System (FedFMS). FedFMS is designed to assist in the management of federal, agency-owned vehicles. Offered to federal agencies at no additional cost, this fleet management tool allows you to better control:
- Cost;
- Establish utilization criteria;
- Manage fleet resources for maximum effectiveness and efficiency.
FMR 102-34.340 states that, a federal agency must have a fleet management information system at the department or agency levels that identifies and collects accurate:
- Inventory;
- Cost; and
- Use data to cover the complete lifecycle of each motor vehicle.
GSA's FedFMS is a web-based fleet management system that identifies, collects, and analyzes motor vehicle data with respect to all costs incurred for the:
- operation;
- maintenance;
- acquisition; and
- disposition of motor vehicles.
FedFMS is open to all federal fleets and imports data from fleet card systems, thereby ensuring consistency across programs, while reducing redundant manual entry efforts. And to ensure a maximum level of data integrity, the system avails itself of automated data feeds directly from other GSA systems that house agency-owned vehicle data.
The FedFMS management tool provides you all the information necessary to satisfy regular reporting requirements such as the Federal Automotive Statistical Tool, Vehicle Allocation Methodology, and annual data calls from OMB. FedFMS is open now to all federal fleets at no additional cost. If you have agency-owned vehicles and a need for a fleet management system, FedFMS is the ideal solution.
To learn more, please visit the FedFMS site.
