• Larger viewing area - the status and navigation bars are now translucent, so your wallpaper pops from every pixel, and is even visible when you expand your apps drawer (when supported by device).

MTG Judge Core App
Supposedly picking up where MTG Judge left off, it has spawned itself into a new project.
- Runs perfectly fine offline - great for when you're judging overseas
- Searchable offline oracle card database
- Complete Infraction Procedure Guide
- Complete Comprehensive Rules
- Complete Magic Tournament Rules
- Decklist counter
- Quick Reference for items like Penalties and Layers
- Update checking initiated manually by the user to ensure you have the latest database rulings and to avoid any needless connection charges
For the permissions required that it displays when you first install the app, here's an explanation of what they are needed for:
- Permission to access the Internet: For downloading of updated database and other little bells and whistles, eg. downloading the corresponding card image from Gatherer, etc.
- Permission to access your external storage: For storage of images downloaded, and as a temporary storage location when downloading the updated database. This is to prevent any corruption of the existing database in the event of a failed download.
- permission.C2D_MESSAGE and permission.RECEIVE: For GCM message receiving
This app is not endorsed nor produced by Wizards of the Coast Inc., Hasbro nor its subsidiaries.
This app is a personal project of Andrew Teo.
Do report any bugs by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com with "MTG Judge Core" as the email's subject.
Important Update:
With regards to other languages, I have no intention of doing so, due to the fact that it would:
a) Make the database grow X times in size, where X is the number of languages
b) Also cause the translation to not be from the official documents, which would/might cause confusion, and that is what I wish to avoid at all times
MtG Magic Life Counter
The life and poison counter MtG Total is a simple utility to manage information in a game of Magic: The Gathering (MTG) between 2, 4, 6 and/or 8 players.
The app has a beautiful and modern interface, with features to rotate the markers which facilitate the manipulation in some cases.
In addition to scoring of life and poison, this also has the current match's history, a timer, a dice roller and card's search (this feature requires Internet connection). All resources can be used or configured from the application menu.
Dice roller: D2, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20 e D100.

In addition to the card's image, you can view information about the author, the legality and the rules of each card (the rules are available only for english searches: you can set the search language through the options menu).

We want to make it clear that NO information that can identify you is collected.

★ Supports poison counters.
★ Mana Pools.
★ Inverse mode for two player (upside down) operation.

Home Button Launcher
Launch your favorite apps through the «Home Button Swipe Up» gesture.
• This works best on devices with three soft keys, like Nexus 5 or Moto G (i.e. devices that have virtual «Back / Home / Recent Apps» soft buttons).
• On some devices this app opens when doing a "Long click" on the home button (e.g. the newer HTC and Sony Xperia phones).
• Most Samsung devices are not at all or very poorly supported (since Samsung overrides 'Home Button' behavior with their own software).
→ Test this app if you're looking for a simple app launcher alternative to «Wave Launcher», «SwipePad», «Smart Taskbar» or «Sidebar», or if you want to replace the default «Google Now» home button binding
→ Also check out Home Button Launcher Tools, this integrates nicely into Home Button Launcher
Source code is hosted here:
Android Airplay
Youtube videos and mp4 files can be sent by opening or sharing via Android Airplay.
The Youtube app can only share videos, it is normal for it to return home after sharing.
Tested on a Nexus 4 running Android 4.4
Known issues:
On some phones need the screen on otherwise the video will stop playing after a few minutes.
Bluebox Security Scanner
The Bluebox Security Scanner will scan your device to determine:
- If your system is vulnerable or patched to any of the "Fake ID" or "Master Key" security flaws affecting most Android devices
- If your system settings allow 'Untrusted Sources' application installs
- If any installed application on your device is trying to maliciously take advantage of any of the 'Master Key' security flaws
Further details of the Android "Fake ID" and "Master Key" security flaws are available at:
- http://bluebox.com/technical/android-fake-id-vulnerability/
- http://www.bluebox.com/blog/technical/uncovering-android-master-key-that-makes-99-of-devices-vulnerable/
Effectively addressing a vulnerability requires three steps:
1) Google produces a generic code fix
2) Android phone manufacturers then incorporate that fix into a firmware update for various phones
3) Carriers then distribute the final update, which ensures your phone is safe
As regards Fake ID, Google has provided the generic code fix to the phone manufacturers who are working with the carriers to distribute the updates. This scanner will help track when that finally happens. Alternatively, contact customer support at your phone manufacturer or carrier a realtime update.

Public Housing 101 Workshop Purpose of this Workshop • To provide basic information about the programs run by their public housing agencies (PHAs); • To identify the specific duties of Board members; and • To clarify the roles and responsibilities of Board members and PHA staff; Brief Historical Perspective 1. Federal Enabling Legislation 1937: Public Housing Act was a New Deal program designed to provide housing for working families and to create jobs for unemployed Americans. States created Public Housing Authorities and local governments activated each PHA. The US Government repaid tax exempt bonds and notes issued by PHAs. The sale of the bonds/notes financed development of housing. The bond/note repayment, in Annual Contributions, was the only Federal subsidy in the original program. Rents covered operating costs which, from the beginning included the cost of utilities. There was no reserve for replacement. Brief Historical Perspective 1949: Congress established National Housing Goal, "A decent home in a suitable living environment for every American family". This is still the goal although full funding to carry out the goal has never been appropriated. 1964 Civil Rights Act made discrimination in housing on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin and religion unlawful. Before the passage of this law public housing in much of the nation was segregated by law. Many of these early properties, often built in areas of minority concentration, are still one-race developments today. Brief Historical Perspective 1968: Fair Housing Act imposed additional nondiscrimination rules on all realtors and landlords. Brooke Amendment: Congress established first rent formula tying maximum rents to tenant incomes to avoid pricing the very poor out of PH, where average rents had risen significantly due to increases in the cost of utilities, salaries and materials 1971: Operating subsidy formula tests. One result of Brooke Amendment was to plunge PHAs into financial trouble. Raising rents was no longer permitted and rents did not cover rising operating costs. 1973 Rehabilitation Act banned discrimination based on disability. Brief Historical Perspective 1974 law created: the Section 8 Programs, Performance Funding System formula for operating subsidy; first statutory requirements on public housing admissions, income, rent, lease and grievance procedure; and replacement of urban renewal categorical grant programs by Community Development Block Grants 1981 Act increased PH and Section 8 formula rent (from 25% to 30% of adjusted monthly income) and established the Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program (CIAP) because the oldest PH units were wearing out. This was a competitive modernization grant. Brief Historical Perspective 1983 HCDA Amendments redefined income and deductions. 1987 Act established the 5-year modernization plan; the physical needs assessment (PNA), and the management improvement plan (MIP). 1992 law reformed modernization funding by making it a formula grant (instead of competitive grant) called the Comprehensive Grant Program (CGP) for large PHAs. Hope VI programs were established. 1998 Quality Housing Work Responsibility Act (QHWRA): required resident commissioner; 5 year and Annual Plan; replacement of PFS with Operating Fund and Capital Brief Historical Perspective Grants with Capital Fund; flat rents, imputed welfare income; earned income disallowance; PHA rent options; Section 8 certificate and voucher programs merged; and community service requirement for non-exempt public housing residents. 1. State Enabling & other relevant legislation State Housing Authorities Laws: Established PHAs, defined powers, jurisdiction, appointing individual(s), terms of Board members; how to remove Board members, and other requirements. Texas passed the first housing authority law in the US in 1937. Brief Historical Perspective Sunshine/Public Records Law: Defines "public meetings", describes notice requirements for regular and emergency meetings, defines public documents (typically anything adopted in a public meeting such as contracts, policies, budgets).

Tracking PHA income and spending against budgets regularly (for large PHAs this is typically monthly, for smaller agencies this is quarterly). - Reviewing year-end statements and annual audits Role of Commissioners Fiduciary Responsibility, continued: - Tracking PH operating reserve and Section 8 administrative fee reserve for interest earned and disbursements authorized - Ensuring adequate insurance coverage - Complying with procurement requirements - Tracking PH rent potential to determine rent losses due to vacancy, excessive turnaround time, poor rent collections Set Policy & Oversee Implementation - Board adopts 5 Year Plan (Mission, Goals, Objectives and Strategies) and an Annual Plan. Role of Commissioners - The Annual Plan includes all the PHA's other policies Further details under Key Policies and Document - Certain policies require resident and/or public comment before Board adoption (5 Year Plan, Annual Plan, Lease, Grievance Procedure, Capital Plan, Hope VI, demolition/disposition) - Typical process for adopting/revising policy documents has several steps – staff prepares/revises draft policy, provides to residents, and Board adopts policy - Policy adopted between Annual Plan submissions may represent a substantial modification of last Annual Plan Role of Commissioners • Board may wait until next year's Annual Plan or must hold 45 day comment period, public hearing as Interim Plan revision, staff receives comments, collates, summarizes for Board – Board makes revisions, adopts policy/revision Oversee efficient & effective operations: - Sometimes issues arise from complaints by residents, elected officials or the public - Board members must not interfere in day-to-day operation of PHA, however, Board may ask for complete written investigation of complaint, explanation of PHA staff action with citations to applicable rules and policies Role of Commissioners - If Board agrees that staff is either interpreting policy incorrectly or implementing it incorrectly, Board can direct staff through motion or resolution Improve PHA's Public Image & Commun- ications with Elected Officials, Agencies, Organizations, Residents & the Public - Board members are often better connected both to political power structure and organizations that serve PHA residents than are PHA staff - Board works to ensure PHA is "at the table" when locality's Consolidated Plan is being developed, Role of Commissioners - Board members can help connect service agency leaders and staff with PHA counterparts - Board members may have acquaintances at local foundations that could fund certain PHA activities - Resident board member (now required) can help build bridges between Board and various resident/ Section participant constituencies How Board and Executive Director Will Communicate - At many PHAs, Board members speak only with the Executive Director, which avoids staff confusion about how they are supposed to do their jobs Role of Commissioners Hiring and Supervising the Executive Director - Executive Directors are typically hired under personal services contracts, often with incentives for improved performance and sanctions for failing to meet goals. - The Executive Director is responsible for carrying out the law, regulations, and the Board's policies through day-to-day administration of the PHA. - The Board hires and supervises the Executive Director but the Executive Director is responsible for all other personnel administration in compliance with the Personnel Policy (plus union contracts and /or civil service requirements, if applicable). Role of Commissioners - The Executive Director must provide Board members with complete and accurate information on PHA operations on a regular basis so the Board can ensure that budgets are being followed and policies carried out. - When recruiting a new Executive Director, a Board must weigh the value of local knowledge (the residents, neighborhoods, elected officials) against technical program knowledge (specifically the public housing and Section 8 progams). - The position of Executive Director is critical to a PHA's success. This is not a position where on-the- job training is appropriate. Role of the Executive Director & Staff Implementing policies of the Board: - setting operating procedures, methods & systems, - training staff, - monitoring performance, work volume and results Carrying out day-to-day operations: - maintaining complete, accurate and up-to-date books of accounts, - receiving & processing applications - PH & Section 8, - managing & maintaining public housing units, - administering the Housing Choice Voucher program, - providing information to residents, receiving their input & modifying the PHA's approach when appropriate, Role of the Executive Director & Staff – working with outside agencies as needed to coordinate improved services to residents, – administering the PHA's capital improvement program(s) Reporting to the board: - submitting regular monthly reports to the Board in advance of meetings, - keeping Board members informed promptly of any emergencies or newsworthy occurrences Role of the Executive Director & Staff Short and long term planning: - monitoring all aspects of the PHA's programmatic and financial performance to spot negative trends and respond quickly. - tracking the PHA's ongoing progress in meeting PHAs and SEMAP targets and modifying the PHA's approach if needed, - following changes in program laws and rules so the PHA can adjust in a timely manner, - preparing draft policies and budgets for the Board to use in carrying out their responsibilities Overview of PHA Programs Public Housing - PHA owns and manages public housing buildings, developments & scattered site units - HUD subsidized development of PH "projects" by annual contributions to repay PHA issued bonds or notes or by direct development grants - Today HUD subsidizes PHA operations through the Operating Fund, which pays PHAs the difference between the Project Expense Level & PHA income - Costs of Central Office Operations are paid by management fees charged to properties, the HCV program and the capital fund. Overview of PHA Programs - HUD subsidizes capital costs (rehab of existing units or development of new units) through the capital fund. This formula assigns each PHA a share of the funds appropriated by Congress based on the number, size, type, age & condition of their units. - Until 2012, PHAs could compete for Hope VI dollars to revitalize severely distressed PH properties. HOPE VI requires substantial leveraging of non-HUD funds, consultation with residents & neighbors and broad cooperation from local government & service agencies. The revitalization process must address not only the physical needs of the property but also the social and economic needs of the property's residents. - PHAs may compete for Choice Neighborhoods, Resident Opportunity and Supportive Service grants, which enable grant winners to carry out a variety of programs to benefit residents. Overview of PHA Programs – PHAs may engage in "mixed finance transactions" in which the PHA partners with private developers, equity partners and often, private managers to develop new housing. This may be a mix of non- subsidized market rate units, shallow subsidy (e.g. tax credit) units and low-income units. – PHAs are now eligible to complete for state-awarded tax credits. Housing built with such credits must house families with incomes less than sixty percent of area median income. Tax credits are often used in conjunction with mixed finance transactions – The number of units eligible for the operating & capital fund is frozen, but if a PHA demolishes or sells properties it may reclaim the "subsidy slots" for use with future development.. Overview of PHA Programs Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers - PHA administers the program, which provides Housing Assistance Payments to private landlords on behalf of eligible families - PHA does not own or manage housing under this program - PHA takes applications, maintains waiting list, processes families for admission, verifies facts related to income and rent, issues vouchers, inspects units, determines whether rent requested by landlord is reasonable, re-examines income, re-inspects units once each year, and pays HAPs to landlords for leased units. PHA receives an administrative fee for its duties. Overview of PHA Programs – PHA may receive additional vouchers to assist families from project-based Section 8 whose owners opt out or fail to quality for ongoing subsidies. – PHAs also get vouchers as relocation or replacement for PH demolition or sale. – HC vouchers are portable. Families from the PHA's waiting list who receive vouchers may move anywhere in the U.S. that there is a PHA to administer the program. – PHAs may "project base" up to 20 percent of their HC vouchers in accordance with HUD rules. – HC vouchers may be used for homeownership for qualified working families.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Greeting from Indy (and meet-up info)
Indianapolis - Things are slowly getting cranked up here around the NFL scouting combine, but they will kicked up into high gear starting Thursday.
I'll be here along with Bob McGinn to give you comprehensive coverage on the blog, in the paper and on Twitter. So hang with us.
Just a few quick things I've picked up since hitting town tonight:
- The Packers have shown no interest yet in free-agent running back LaDainian Tomlinson. Nobody really has because agent Tom Condon will hit the ground running starting Thursday. And I didn't really expect the Packers too -- Ahman Green would probably be a better alternative as a veteran backup because he knows the system and can play in Green Bay -- but figured I'd give you more than conjecture.
- And the buzz already on the street is that the Miami Dolphins are the odds-on favorite to land Arizona Cardinals linebacker Karlos Dansby once free agency starts. The Dolphins, especially under Bill Parcells, are notorious for getting a jump on free agency at the combine. Dansby is not a guy that makes much sense for the Packers, but he's a big name in this weak free-agent pool. Apparently I "scooped" myself on this -- and I use those quotation marks with much sarcasm.
That's it for tonight.
One more thing for those in the Indianapolis area:
Sports Illustrated's Peter King is hosting a Tweet-up along with Will Carroll of the Baseball Prospectus at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. I will be there to talk Packers, along with several other writers from other cities. Trying to get Bob McGinn to at least make an appearance but somebody has to work around here.
It will be at Scotty's Brewhouse, 1 Virginia Avenue (1 block North of Conseco Fieldhouse on Pennsylvania Avenue). Phone: (317) 571-0808.
Come one, come all.

It's been a season of bad breaks for the Blue Jackets. That statement has taken a literal turn now, too.Defenseman James Wisniewski, one of the Blue Jackets' big offseason acquisitions, suffered a broken left ankle when he was struck by a fired puck during Thursday's 4-1 win in Dallas.Wisniewski is expected to miss at least six weeks."Boom. That was the sound," Wisniewski told The Columbus Dispatch. "I saw it coming and said, 'This is going to hurt.' And it hurt. Jeff Carter, he was next to me, and he said you could hear it hit bone. It sounded nasty."The Blue Jackets did not fare well when Wisniewski was out of the lineup earlier this season. While he served an eight-game NHL suspension at the start of the season for a preseason clash with Minnesota's Cal Clutterbuck, the Jackets went 0-7-1.In Saturday's 4-2 loss to Washington -- their first game since Wisniewski's injury -- the Blue Jackets played Grant Clitsome in Wisniewski's old spot, beside rookie John Moore. Columbus next fac...

Yuri Kuma Arashi Climaxes: "Best Yuri Anime Ever!"

- Date: Apr 1, 2015 12:28 JST
- Tags: Animals, Drama, Endings, Image Gallery, Romance, Silver Link, Yuri, Yuri Kuma Arashi
The finale for ultimate bear yuri anime Yuri Kuma Arashi has unsurprisingly brought viewers to tears with its final deluge of emotional drama, as well as instilling some "kuma shock" due to its rather ambiguous ending, and will likely be remembered for years to come for its compelling love-story (if not solely for its overabundance of delectable yuri service).

Zombie Strippers
Yup, it's as ridiculous as it sounds. Women get naked, die, get back on stage to get naked, and then eat their customers. That's the whole plot. Jenna Jameson manages to keep her clothes on for a total of ten seconds during her screen time. This isn't a bad thing for the most part but when her corpse starts rotting and there's a gaping wound spewing blood from her neck you kind of wish they'd mix in a turtleneck every so often. And yes, that's Jenna shooting a pool ball, as a weapon, from her privates in the last picture. Watch for this come Oscar season.

Gonzo MultiMedia Releases Vintage YES Concert CD/DVD Set
Much to the excitement of progressive rock fans across the globe, UK's premier record label Gonzo MultiMedia has released a vintage concert by YES legends Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, Rick Wakeman, Steve Howe (ABWH) – Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe – Live At The Birmingham N.E.C. The concert held on October 24, 1989 in Birmingham, UK has been released in its entitrety in this deluxe edition 2-CD/DVD box set.
A concept conceived as a return to more traditional 'YES' sounding music, ABWH recorded their debut studio album in late 1988, with the intial tracks done in Paris before the ensemble relocated to Montserrat with producer Chris Kimsey to complete work on the songs. In support of their self-titled debut release on June 5, 1989, ABWH prepared a major world tour touted as "An Evening Of YES Music Plus". The tour started in the US in Memphis, TN in late July, and featured Tony Levin on bass, Milton McDonald (additional guitars), Julian Colbeck (additional keys) – Jeff Berlin was also featured on bass for several shows due to Tony Levin being ill.
Now for the first time, Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe's live UK performance at the N.E.C. can be watched and heard! Also featured is a short film 'ABWH – Off The Wall' by Julian Colbeck.

(From Our Regular Correspondent)April 11, 1936.
The Progress of Physical Medicine
Lord Horder presided at a luncheon in connection with the International Congress of Physical Medicine, to be held in London May 12 to 16. Thirty countries agreed to send representatives. Dr. Richard King Brown, editor of the British Journal of Physical Medicine, the principal guest, was presented with a wrist watch in recognition of his services to physical medicine. Lord Horder said that he had the privilege of being honorary president of the congress but unfortunately could not be present, as last August he accepted an invitation to attend the meeting of the American Medical Association in Kansas City. He welcomed the congress as calculated to stimulate interest in this growing branch of preventive and curative medicine. Only in recent years had the methods of physical therapy been brought under scientific control, which was essential. There now

With Internet sales gaining, Macy's, Inc. has announced it will build a major new direct-to-consumer fulfillment center near Owasso, OK, to support continued sales growth driven by its omnichannel strategy. The company reported that it expects to invest more than $170 million in the facility.

We have rolled out fulfillment capability to 500 Macy's stores nationwide, as well as built three major fulfillment centers over the past seven years. Our new Tulsa County facility will represent another significant expansion of our shipping capacity, particularly to customers in central and southern regions of the United States. Tulsa County is the ideal location and environment for this new facility, and we look forward to becoming a larger presence in northeast Oklahoma."

Originally written on Fox Sports Arizona | Last updated 7/22/12
With plenty of help from slugger Jason Kubel, the Arizona Diamondbacks have continued their recent home success at the expense of the lowly Houston Astros. The Diamondbacks look to complete a three-game sweep by matching a season high with their sixth straight home victory Sunday against the Astros. One night after Arizona (46-48) broke out for a 13-8 win over Houston, Kubel hit a career-high three home runs and had six RBIs in Saturday's 12-3 victory. The Diamondbacks, who have recorded 28 hits and drawn 14 walks in the series, last scored 10 runs or more in three straight games May 17-20, 2006. Kubel hit a two-run home run in the first inning and a three-run homer in the fourth. He added a solo shot in the sixth to become the seventh Arizona player to homer three times in a game. "You don't see many games like that," manager Kirk Gibson said. "He gets the bat there really quick, to all fields." After spending his first seven seasons in Minnesota, Kubel is batting .294 with 20...

Alex Smith stayed in town during the bye week to work with Crabtree. Does this establish some chemistry between the two? Does this help Smith's chances of getting some action this season? Does this build some chemistry between the two palyers?
I think it may. And getting away from the subject a tad, It shows that Alex wants to be there for sure. I'm just sayin that if the offense continues to stink it up with Gore back in the lineup, that Smith should get a shot to start at some point down the line this season.

Michigan's Robinson career ends with new position
"You just know something's coming," Meyer said. "It's a question of what."
Robinson lined up behind and alongside QB Gardner against the Hawkeyes. He'll do that again and probably will be split out wide as a receiver at times against the Buckeyes.
He got the ball on toss sweeps, handoffs and short passes. He also got a handoff and flipped the ball on an option to running back Fitzgerald Toussaint, whose left leg snapped and led to him having season-ending surgery.
Once, Robinson was used as a decoy to help Gardner throw one of his three touchdown passes because Iowa was concentrating so much on where Robinson was on the field.
"The attention he gets is amazing," Gardner said.
It's not amazing if you've been paying attention to college football the last four years.
Robinson ranks No. 1 at college football's winningest program with 10,547 yards of total offense. He had a school-record 502 yards of offense at Notre Dame two years ago in his breakout performance and owns 10 of the top 11 games in terms of total offense by a Wolverine.
If he throws a TD pass at Ohio State, and a short one certainly seems possible, he'll be the first player in Big Ten history to throw for 50 and run for 40 scores.
Robinson has just two more games in his college career before getting a shot to be a professional by perhaps making a transition from QB to receiver as former Indiana star Antwaan Randle El did a decade ago.
"It's hard to put it into words what this means to me, being a leader on this team and one of the guys that was picked by the team to be captain is a great honor," Robinson said. "It's kind of hard to swallow right now because it's coming to an end."

Doctors said she would never lift weights again, but McWeeny had other ideas. She's now competing again, and her inspirational story was enough to bring her former coach out of retirement.

I enjoy working out and the outdoors. I am an optimist. I am looking for someone fun-loving, caring and trust worthy. I want someone that can be my best friend and someone I can have a good time with no matter what it is that we are doing. I was a medic in the army for 5 years and deployed to Iraq twice. I have seen people living in very bad situations. So I am very grateful for everything I have in my life. If you would like to know anything else, please feel free to ask. :)
