Background: Advanced dementia is characterized by severe cognitive and functional impairments that lead to almost total dependency in self-care. Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are common in advanced dementia, diminishing quality of life and increasing the care burden. The challenge for health care providers is to find safe and effective treatments. Non-pharmacological interventions offer the potential for safer alternatives to pharmacotherapy, but little is known about their efficacy. This review evaluates the published literature on non-pharmacological interventions for treating NPS in advanced dementia.
Methods: A literature search was undertaken to find non-pharmacological intervention studies published between 1998 and 2008 that measured NPS outcomes in individuals diagnosed with advanced dementia. Strict inclusion criteria initially required that all study participants have severe or very severe dementia, but this range was later broadened to include moderately severe to very severe stages.
Results: Out of 215 intervention studies, 21 (9.8%) specifically focused on treatments for individuals with moderately severe to very severe dementia. The studies provide limited moderate to high quality evidence for the use of sensory-focused strategies, including aroma, preferred or live music, and multi-sensory stimulation. Emotion-oriented approaches, such as simulated presence may be more effective for individuals with preserved verbal interactive capacity.
Conclusions: Most studies of interventions for dementia-related NPS have focused on individuals with mild to moderate cognitive impairment. Individuals with severe cognitive impairment do not necessarily respond to NPS treatments in the same manner. Future studies should be specifically designed to further explore the stage-specific efficacy of non-pharmacological therapies for patients with advanced dementia. Areas of particular need for further research include movement-based therapies, hands-on (touch) therapies, and interventions that can be provided during personal care routines. Interventions appear to work best when they are tailored to balance individual arousal patterns.

Wisc. Building Commission green-lights phase 2 of Rib Mountain State Park modernization
Submitted: 01/22/2014
Adam Fox
10 p.m. Anchor/Reporter
- Rib Mountain State Park will get more than $740,000 in upgrades in 2014.
It is part of a project approved by the Wisconsin Building Commission Tuesday.
This project will improve the existing day-use area, including the amphitheater area, and will continue to convert existing campground areas into day-use facilities, according to the Building commission press release.
Steve Krallis, DNR budget analyst, says the park used to focus heavily on camping, but the park is using the upgrades to target more day activities like picnics and hiking.
"The campsites are being converted to day use facilities," Krallis said. "So improved toilet facilities, ultimately there will be some improvements to a shelter area and flush toilets will hopefully be added in the next phase."
This portion of the project will also continue improvements to Park Road at the state park.
The project will also remove the existing Rib Mountain State Park entrance sign and install a new one.
The existing shower building and two outdated and non-accessible vault toilet buildings will be demolished. These structures will be replaced
with a new centralized vault toilet facility, according to the press release.
Organizers have not started planning the third phase of the project.
"The parks (department) is going to start working on that in the upcoming biennium (budget)," Krallis said. "I know that they're going to continue to move the park to try to make it a more premiere day use facility."
Project leaders say the second phase of the project will be done by the end of the year.
Park modernization started in 2009 with phase one costing $6,116,900.

Federal investigators hold onto drone flown over Packer game
Submitted: 08/23/2016
- Federal investigators will be hanging onto a drone that flew over Lambeau Field during the Green Bay Packers game last week.
It's against the law to fly a drone over the stadium because of the potential for danger.
A Green Bay Police commander says a drone could malfunction and crash into the crowd.
Worse....it could contain a bomb.
Police tracked the drone to a house across the street from the stadium....and said the drone operator has been cooperative.
Police have been in contact with the Federal Aviation Administration, which will continue to investigate.
They don't think the operator meant any harm, but there could still be charges depending on what the FAA finds.

Rhinelander Community Garden turns overly wet summer into productive growing season, preparing for fall slowdown
Submitted: 08/22/2016
Play Video
- The sun casts longer shadows around Tom Jerow this time of year, but he knows there's plenty of work left to do.
"It's really a year-round endeavor," Jerow said.
The gardener picked green beans by the bagful Monday morning, working quickly through the Rhinelander Community Garden to race a fast-approaching end of summer.
"Even though it's a short growing season, we do pretty good here," Jerow said.
Here, is a small plot of land just east of Hodag Park on Thayer Street. The ten-year-old community garden had a decent 2016, with cucumbers and green beans growing by the basket full. (Jerow says they routinely pick about 20 pounds of green beans three days a week.) But cabbage and asparagus plants were plagued by pests.

For dealers who need terminals (most just reprogram the ones they've got), MIC BankCard offers a large inventory. "We have just every imaginable combination of terminals," Tanzy says. "And we're real cheap. Most people sell terminals for $800 to $900. We sell them for $300 to $400. The same exact terminals. We're always much cheaper just because we don't really use it as a big moneymaking thing. For us, it's a convenience."
Because Tanzy's crew can reprogram the terminals before shipping them out, the switching time is reduced.
Remember, dealers already signed up with MIC BankCard will not be switched over to First Data automatically. "The dealers are going to have to instigate it," Tanzy says. "They're going to have to call in and ask for the rate review.
"If they want to stay with Tsys because they're happy," he continues, "they're welcome to stay. But First Data is such a better partner for us long term, my gut tells me probably in the next five to six years everything is going to migrate to First Data."
Dealers can contact MIC BankCard through its new number, 877-726-7017. "Anybody that answers the phone will be well-versed, or they can ask for me," Tanzy says. If you're ready for a free cost analysis, you can fax to the program a copy of your credit card processing statement. The fax number is 678-829-0517. You can also speak with Tanzy at Dealer Expo at Booth 4508.
MIC BankCard Shares Its Numbers
MIC BankCard has about 1,400 active merchant accounts, says program director Matt Tanzy. Because dealerships often have more than one merchant account — for store divisions like rentals, e-commerce or service — this figure is not the number of dealers.
From 2008 to 2009, the number of active accounts remained the same. Even though more dealers enrolled, the number of inactive merchant IDs increased. "In 2008," Tanzy says, "we had about 1,400 active and about 600 or 700 inactive. 'Inactive' means they're not consistent. They might process for a couple of months; then they don't process. Either they went out of business, or they're just not processing for some reason. Maybe they don't do Internet sales anymore, for example.
"Our inactive dealers," Tanzy continues, "went up to about 900, about a 28 percent increase. So all the growth we had enrolling new dealers was taken away."
The volume of processing in 2009, of course, was down. But the amount it was down may surprise you. "We're going to end up at about $658 million, which is going to be about a 38 percent drop," Tanzy says. (Continued)

Fourteen-year-old Matt Thieu, the Deer Creek Middle School student critically injured in last week's shooting, is recovering well and showed remarkably good spirits Feb. 26 during an interview at Children's Hospital. Thieu was discharged this week
"It's getting tiring in here," Thieu told the Columbine Courier from his room at the hospital. The eighth-grader, who spends his free time skateboarding and enjoying the company of friends, added he is looking forward to returning to school and seeing his buddies.
Mr. Biggs is not family friendly
Editor's note: The following letter was originally submitted to the Jefferson County Liquor Licensing Authority.
I am writing to express my concern about the presence of the Mr. Biggs establishment in my neighborhood.
A few years ago, my husband and I took our then 3-year-old there for an afternoon of fun. I believe the business was "Fat City" then. We had a nice time and felt safe and comfortable there.
Deer Creek Middle School will hold an open house for parents and students on Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., a chance for students to gather any belongings left behind after the shootings on Tuesday.
Students can also see teachers and visit the building to ease any anxiety about returning to school.
Deer Creek is planning to resume classes on Monday with a regular school day for all students. Buses will run on
their usual schedules.
Counselors will be available in every classroom on Monday in case students or staff need to talk with
DENVER — Tony Pena needed 14 seconds to swell with confidence in his state championship match. With 16 seconds left in the bout, the Chatfield 130-pound junior allowed himself to feel elation.
"I knew it was mine," he said.
When it comes to rebounding, Chatfield's Trevor Wages is a selfish player.
"I want every board. I don't want anybody else to get a board," he said after Chatfield's 79-73 second-round playoff win over a tough Rocky Mountain squad.
While Wages wouldn't get every rebound on the night, he would come pretty darn close, pulling down 20 rebounds, eight coming on the offensive end.
LAKEWOOD — The Columbine Rebels were Ram tough Feb. 17.
On the road and looking for a vital victory to move up the ladder of the Class 5A Jefferson County League, the Rebels overcame a sluggish start and eight lead changes to pull away in the fourth quarter for a 57-52 victory.
Columbine trailed 42-40 early in the fourth quarter before Neil Myer banked home a 3-pointer to give the Rebels the lead for good, sparking a 10-0 run that gave them the separation needed to hold on for victory.
Unfortunately for Myer, he did not call bank.
Flappers and jitterbugs filled Abiding Hope Lutheran Church on Feb. 20 and quite literally danced the night away. As many as 50 people gathered for a 1920s-style dance-a-thon fund-raiser that began at 7 p.m. and ended 12 hours later.
And unlike some Haiti-relief benefits, the dance did not require donations of food or clothing — participants paid cash for the privilege of staying up all night, and 100 percent of the money generated by the event is set to go to the people of Haiti.
Jefferson County has a new addition to its Workforce Center that has employees buzzing: a small coffee shop that serves locally roasted beans and provides barista training to special-needs students and clients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
Training Grounds, the aptly named café, offers everything one would find in a commercial coffee operation. Coda Coffee Co. provides fair-trade beans, and all of the sandwiches are made fresh daily by Warren Tech culinary-arts students.
The owner of Mr. Biggs apparently intends to pull out of the South Jeffco entertainment center and is planning legal action to force the former owner to take back the business, a development that surfaced Feb. 18 at an unusual change-of-corporate-structure hearing before the county liquor-licensing board.
DENVER — Aaron Norris has legs like a bulldozer's tread and a barrel chest.
Strength, however, and a tough-guy mentality, will only get you so far in wrestling. And that makes Norris' run to the Class 5A state wrestling tournament in his first year since taking up the sport all the more impressive.
"My coaches are teaching me a lot of moves, keeping me in good positions," the Chatfield junior said Feb. 18 after he scored a 16-1 technical fall in his opening match.
And things only got better.

Safe water for our kidsJanuary 21,2013Safe water
for our kids
As a retired elementary and special education teacher and a grandmother of 5- and 7-year-old girls who spend lots of time at my home on Maple Street, Im frightened that Rutland is preparing to put chloramine in city water.
I feel that adding ammonia to chlorine is an irresponsible adult response to care for our children. I dont want my grandchildren drinking the chloramine. Nor eating food washed with chloramine, or prepared with the water, or using dishes that went through the dishwasher. I dont want them washing their soft faces with chloramine, brushing their teeth with it, or breathing the steam while taking a shower or a bath.

Isnt it bad enough that our little kids have become target practice for an industry that doesnt care how many guns is enough? Do the small vulnerable bodies of our little kids here in Rutland also have to be subjected to chloramine? After Newtown, children have earned a say about their futures. Are our adult tech toys, snowmobiles, luxury cars and boats, vacations, second homes more important than our children? Are we adults that callous and cheap that we dont care about poisoning our little ones because wed rather spend our money elsewhere, and then safe water just costs too much?

United Nations:
Management Reforms and Operational Issues

Longstanding problems in United Nations (UN) management underscore the pressing need to reform and modernize the United Nations in areas ranging from management, oversight, and accountability to operational activities in specific countries. The United States has strongly advocated the reform of UN management practices and has also been critical of the restrictions Burma's military regime has imposed on many international organizations in Burma over the past 3 years. This testimony, based on recent GAO reports, discusses (1) management reform efforts at the UN Secretariat since 2006; (2) oversight and accountability in selected UN organizations; and (3) UN and other international organizations' activities in Burma.
GAO's report on UN management reform efforts notes that (1) progress has varied in the five areas GAO examined--ethics, oversight, procurement, management operations of the Secretariat, and review of programs and activities (mandates)--and (2) various factors, such as disagreements among member states, have slowed the pace of progress. The UN ethics office has taken steps to improve organizational ethics, including implementing a whistleblower protection policy, but GAO identified issues that may limit the impact of the policy. The UN has taken steps to improve oversight, including establishing an Independent Audit Advisory Committee. However, UN funding arrangements continue to constrain the independence of the Secretariat's internal audit office and its ability to audit high-risk areas. The UN has taken steps to improve certain procurement practices, but has not implemented an independent bid protest system or approved a lead agency concept, which could improve procurement services. The UN has taken steps to improve certain management operations of the Secretariat, but has made little or no progress in others. Despite some limited initial actions, the UN's review of mandates has not advanced, due in part to a lack of support by many member states. Finally, the pace of UN management reforms has been slowed by member states' disagreements on reform efforts, lack of comprehensive implementation plans, administrative issues that complicate certain internal processes, and competing UN priorities. GAO's report on oversight and accountability of selected UN organizations notes that, although the six UN internal audit offices GAO reviewed have made progress in implementing international auditing standards, they have not fully implemented key components of the standards. None of these six organizations require their internal oversight staff to disclose their financial interests. However, GAO found that five of the six organizations have made efforts to increase accountability by establishing whistleblower protection policies and one was developing such a policy. GAO also reported that while the six UN evaluation offices GAO reviewed are working toward implementation of UN evaluation standards, they have not fully implemented them. Finally, GAO reported that the governing bodies responsible for oversight of the six organizations lack full access to internal audit reports. GAO's report on Burma notes that Burma's military regime has blocked or significantly impeded UN and other international organizations' efforts to address human rights concerns and to help people living in areas affected by ethnic conflict. The regime frustrated international organizations' efforts to monitor forced labor for years before signing an agreement in early 2007; restricted their efforts to assist populations living in conflict areas; and blocked their efforts to monitor prison conditions and conflict situations. The regime has, to a lesser degree, impeded UN food, development, and health programs. However, several UN and other international organization officials told GAO they are still able to achieve meaningful results in their efforts to mitigate some of Burma's humanitarian, health, and development problems.

Essex County now officially owns 40 horses. Sheriff's deputies impounded the steeds last month when they were found starving.
They say 41 horses were found on Shelley Wing's farm, but one died. A vet is caring for the surviving 40 animals, and is nursing them back to health.
County officials say the plan is adopt the horses out to good, able, caring homes, free of charge.

Brownlie defied the Proteas attack to reach stumps unbeaten on 69 and duly continued his resistance on the third morning to reach three figures for the first time.
But on the verge of lunch, and with South Africa's mammoth 302-run first-innings lead starting to come into sight, he recklessly uppercut Morne Morkel to deep point to depart for 109. New Zealand were therefore left still very much second best, at 232 for five.
With BJ Watling content to stonewall, his unbeaten 31 occupying 114 balls, Brownlie took a more assertive role as he eyed a first century in his eighth Test.
The Australia-born batsman showed no signs of nerves as he approached the milestone, moving to 98 with a pulled six off Robin Peterson before dancing down the wicket and clearing the rope over mid-off from the same bowler to prompt his celebrations.
For the first time New Zealand had started to take a lead role in the match only for the second new ball - taken with just two overs to go before lunch - to end Brownlie's memorable century.
The 28-year-old's departure undermined the work he had done beforehand as he slashed at Morkel, picking out Peterson on the rope, to ensure South Africa remained well on course for victory inside three days.

Anger: Managing the amygdala hijack
One of my clients ("Bob") has had numerous bad experiences with opposing counsel. Over the last few years, he's felt more and more worn down by angry phone calls, disingenuous arguments, and general incivility.
(A sidenote: a question we addressed is whether Bob is really surrounded by opposing counsel out to gain some advantage by making him and/or his clients miserable. Viewed with a dispassionate perspective, the answer was no. The lesson? Always step outside your own life and observe. This perspective will let you recognize whether your day-to-day judgments are well-founded or whether they're being colored by something else.)
One opposing counsel ("Fred") was particularly nasty. Bob had been litigating against Fred for just over a year, and he had recognized that Fred's strategy was to make him angry. So, each time he had to interact with Fred, he braced himself and prepared for something outlandish. But there was one particular tactic that really drove Bob over the edge. The tactic itself doesn't matter — let's say it was being accused of unprofessional conduct — and each time Fred would use this tactic, Bob would become enraged. To his credit, he was able to manage that anger reasonably well, but enough was revealed that Fred knew he'd found the "right" weapon. All Fred had to do was use a few choice words, and Bob would become ballistic. He described a tingling sensation throughout his body, the awareness that his blood pressure had spiked, and great difficulty with remaining engaged on the topic at hand.
What Bob experienced is an "amygdala hijack." The amygdala is the "fight or flight" and emotional memory part of the brain. Its job is to protect by comparing incoming data with emotional memories. An amygdala hijack occurs when we respond out of measure with the actual threat because it has triggered a much more significant emotional threat. For instance, the amygdala will react similarly to the threat of being eaten by a tiger (physical threat) and the threat of an ego attack (emotional threat) by bringing on the fight or flight reaction.
When one experiences an amygdala hijack, the amygdala overtakes the neocortex (the thinking part of the brain) and there's little or no ability to rely on intelligence or reasoning. The effect is that energy is drawn exclusively into the hijack. The immediate result of a hijack is a decrease in working memory. Adrenaline is released and will be present and effective for 18 minutes, and other hormones are released into the bloodstream that will take 3-4 hours to clear.
Randy Chittum, an executive coach on the faculty of Georgetown's leadership coaching program, has recommended the following steps to deal with an amygdala hijack:
Stop. Stop whatever you're doing. Bob's strategy was to put the call on hold or to step out of the room for a minute; if that was impossible, he would go silent for a moment and identify for himself what had just happened. ("Ah, Fred just said again that I'm unprofessional.") This step keeps the neocortex engaged and can prevent the amagdala's takeover.
Oxygenate. Breathe deeply, with intention and purpose. This step also keeps the neocortex engaged.
Strengthen appreciation. It's difficult to have two emotional experiences at the same time, and appreciation counters the hijack. While it's especially effective to appreciate the source of the hijack (i.e., for Bob to appreciate Fred as a person, to appreciate his zealous representation of his client, etc.), any appreciation of anything will be helpful. Not surprisingly, Bob found it difficult to appreciate Fred, so he would instead think about his family and bask it his appreciation of his wife and children.
Survey the landscape. After the hijack, spend some time exploring what happened and why. Recognizing the trigger will allow you to avoid being triggered in the future. After a recognizing that Fred tended to trot out the accusation of unprofessional conduct when he didn't get an extension or some other accommodation, Bob was prepared. He knew that his work had been successful when Fred one day expressed his surprise at Bob's lack of professionalism, and Bob was able to laugh and respond, "Come on, Fred, we both know that isn't true and isn't the point. Feel free to make your motion, but I can't consent to another delay in this case."

May 11, 2007 at 10:29 am
Thanks for this terrific post, Julie. You touch on the mind-body connection so well.
When working with clients in such similar circumstances, we learn to ask ourseves, "How old do I feel?" One's emotional reaction is most often a pointer to one or more similar childhood experiences, the residual of which the individual has brought (in memory and in body) into adulthood.
So, when someone pushes this button, the adult reacts in a "child-like" fashion (albeit unconsciously unless s/he has done the work on this and is "conscious" of this psychodynamic in the moment ).
In our work, when one senses into the body to allow the emotion (not fend it off, not "think" it away, not fake it til you make it), but go through it, allow it, not judge it as bad or wrong, in the moment, breathe, move the body…one's Core, or True Self, will begin to be accessed (not the mind-brain) to give the individual what is needed in the moment, i.e, strength, courage, will, discipline, compassion, and bring one back to a "real adult" energetic self that can respond rather than react.
In just about every interaction, most folks are at some place on this "adult-child" continuum (unconsciously). When one is conscious of where they are, and why, they can be with their emotions, sense their body, move "inside", the result of which is their interactions and exchanges can be more open, honest, adult, mature, and respectful and less reactive, "violent", uncivil, bullying etc.
When two "children" in adult bodies, wearing adult clothes, are at odds, feeling defensive, feeling small, feeling unsafe, feeling deficient (albeit, again, unconsciously), mature behavior is almost an impossibility…thus what underlies so much of our incivility in discourse today.
Great post and suggestions, Julie. Thanks.

How often do we look back at ourselves and say, "yep, fell for that one" – I wonder if this strategy could be used more widely – reflexive practice?
May 14, 2007 at 8:17 pm
'reflexivity' refers the process of engaging in reflection /self-management strategies during the interaction, rather than afterwards – which seems to be what you are advocating without using the terms. The tough part is putting it all together under the spotlight of trial advocacy!
One of the better papers about 'reflexivity' on a quick 'google' is this:

Skip to comments.Climate data chills global-warming alarmism
Posted on 02/02/2012 11:54:02 AM PST by landsbaum
The Earth's temperature hasn't increased significantly in about 15 years, which wouldn't be big news except global warming extremists had predicted temperatures would soar during that time because of manmade greenhouse-gas emissions.
That forecast would be just another failed hypothesis, except governments around the world used the threatened overheating as an excuse to regulate, tax and subsidize in order to curb greenhouse gases and, of course, to save the Earth. . . .
(Excerpt) Read more at ocregister.com ...
Whatever, but I would like to thank La Nina for giving the northeast a rather snowless winter, so far.
I'll second that.No shoveling makes for a happy back.
We had nearly 60 degrees in southern Michigan the other day and the temps have been in the 40s and 50s for a week.
If this is global warming, they better hide it from us northerners or we'll be looking for carbon dioxide generators to make every winter like this one.
Well all hail the "editorial boarad".
Have you any comments?
Whoops, no.. you don't. Average about two per year.
Quite a contrast to the number of self-authored "articles" you post.
What's frustrating to me is that people argue with these fools in their folly instead of calling them on their folly.
The anthropogenic global warming agenda is the implementation of socialism and global government.
There is really no concern whatsoever for the "erf", they're just using the environment and climate change to further a communist agenda,
and they need to have their noses rubbed in it instead of arguing with them on the minutiae of a degree or two here and there.
For much of the world there's just no major downside in it for us even if it were true. Unfortunately, one seriously warm winter doesn't prove their case but it sure makes a lot of happy yankees.
The ground isn't even frozen here in southern michigan and I have broccoli plants out there that are still fine and ready to start growing again with an increase in sunlight.
Exactly....even if global warming was true, even if it was man-made...so what? Seems to me the end result would be more arable land to grow crops on.
Readable by the masses....
Thanks for posting!
Just posted this regarding the latest AGW piece from JoNova ...Blog in Australia:
8 Reasons to Dump That Cheating Doctor (Trenberth et al are wrong in the WSJ) ( AGW Crowd Reacts ..
While everyone is enjoying their sunny and warm winter down there, it's been the coldest January on record in Alaska. My diesel fuel turned to jello - literally - on Saturday and Sunday when the weather service measured temps of -62 and -65 in our little town. When the temps came up to -31 yesterday you could have sworn it was warmer.
Please put more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Thank you.
We have a lot more to fear if the latest cooling trends come to pass.
Reduced growing seasons, etc.
Save the earth. More like line the pockets.... :)
landsbaum may indeed be the author of the many Orange County Register items he posts - but it's a legitimate newspaper, so I'm not sure I see the problem.
If someone put up a billboard advertising their product on land they did not own, would that be fine with you?
Homey is USING Free Republic as a marketing tool.
He (multiple log-ins, by the way) does not participate in the forum.
We're just a hit farm to him. You still don't see the problem?
If the message were the important part, he'd write it here.
The message obviously is secondary to pimping for hits.
the Register requires excerpting
Yes, isn't that convenient for someone wishing to play Free Republic as a market?
The boy wants hits, that's why he excerpts his stuff here.
It's beyond obvious.
It's a good editorial. I'm glad he posted it. Lighten up Francis.
He didn't. He excerpted it.
There is a difference.
It evens out, we are having one of the coldest summers in memory along the coasts from Brisbane to Sydney to Melbourne to Adelaide and everyone is complaining.
Also, remember that drought that was "caused by global warming" and all the global activists said that Australia was never going to have good rains again? Well, it just keeps raining and raining in Brisbane/Sydney/Melbourne and people are also complaining about all the rain.
Actually the only place winter is warmer this year is in the lower latitudes in the USA. In Europe, specifically eastern Europe, it is much colder than normal, about 90 deaths so far this winter from the cold. The Arctic, Alaska and Canada are also experiencing much colder weather.
This should be heralded as good news, except it won't be.
Nope. No problem. Good articles from a credible source with a viewpoint generally pleasing to FReepers that no one else has posted .
I have no problem clicking on his paper. If their advertising revenue increases by 1/1000 of a cent because of it, it's worth it to help them stay in business.
Given the quantity of meaningless baloney from obscure and often talentless bloggers posted here more and more, these posts are a net plus to FR.
It's baaack! The plan to kill talk radio

Sorry for the absence of a "10 To Watch" article last week, but I could really only come up with 3 or 4 games that I actually wanted to write about. Thankfully things have picked up a little bit this week. Those looking for a platform game fix have a few choices this week, most notably the baby carriage tale called Grimm or Capcom's MaXplosion, where the protagonist can make himself explode. If you like strategy games you might want to take Metal Brigade Tactics or Ascendancy for a spin. The RPG fan can take on Com2Us' latest Inotia yarn, appropriately titled Inotia 3.
Due to the temporary shut down of approvals and new submissions over the holidays, this past week's 10 New Games to Watch list isn't as abundant as most weeks. There were still some interesting looking offerings, however, so hopefully you'll find something in here that might have slipped under your radar as you were shopping for the perfect Christmas game. Without further ado, here's the roundup…
I thought the last roundup was crazy for new releases, but this past week was probably the largest I've seen for new games since I've started this weekly 10 to Watch article, and there were at least twice as many new games as the biggest prior week. That made it all the more difficult to decide what to talk about, since I knew a lot of these games have been in the spotlight since before their release. As always, I think I've come up with a decent cross section of games to mention, and since my choices are so many and it's Christmas week I thought I'd even throw in a couple of extra ones for your reading pleasure. As such I think I'll keep the intro short and sweet, and just let you discover the games as you read through the rest of the article.
Wow, if you're an RPG fan you'd better be thanking both the App Store approval folks and several developers for this week. The big guns were Infinity Blade and Dungeon Hunter 2, but in total this roundup is filled with 5 awesome looking RPGs. If that's not really your style of game, however, there is a new Angry Birds like physics puzzler called Pirates Vs. Ninjas Vs. Zombies Vs. Pandas that looks pretty entertaining (and the name is fun too). Finally, if you're looking for a "board" game on the go you might want to check out Jenga, the official electronic version of the popular tower toppling table top game. Try and say that one fast five times!
The force is starting to be strong with the Star Wars universe again, as we're seeing quite a number of games based on the popular sci-fi mythos grace the iPhone screen. This week's release is Imperial Academy, and while it's probably just a reskin of Ngmoco's Eliminate, I'd personally rather play as a Storm Trooper in training than some generic space guy. Action-RPG fans have a lot to be excited about, including Com2us' latest release Queen's Crown. 4 weapon classes, 6 spell trees and a gem enhancement system make for some compelling anime hack 'n slash. If you're addicted to Minecraft but sad that you can't take it on the go, you might want to give Eden – World Builder a try. And, for those who need gadgets to go with their gadgets there's AR.Pursuit, a helicopter chase game that requires two players and also mandates that you each have an AR.Drone, a remote controlled helicopter that uses the iPhone as the controller. Continue reading…
The way Twitter was buzzing, I wasn't expecting nearly so many new releases this past week. In the same vein, there weren't nearly as many titles that grabbed me as I would have liked. Still, I think I've managed to dig up a fairly diverse collection of titles for your gaming enjoyment.
If you're an adventure gamer that doesn't believe the genre is dead then you're in luck, because Cop – The Case Of The Cloned Beauty Queen is a detective mystery with a long title and a lot of voiceover work – 330 minutes according to the iTunes. If you're more of a 007 than a Colombo there's Agents!, a game of espionage that attempts to rekindle the fun of the Spy Vs Spy shtick from Mad Magazine. Tower Defense fans can sink their teeth into Sentinel 3: Homeworld, Origin8's latest chapter in their epic sci-fi series. And, for those of you who just can't get enough of Facebook style social gaming there's Hollywood City, the simulation that lets you try and recreate Tinseltown in your own image.
Well the big boys decided to come back and play this week, so there are quite a few new and interesting offerings on the App Store. Of course the magic is in the air with LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, released to coincide with the outbreak of the latest film. If you can't get enough of him on the big screen, now you can control him and a bunch of his friends on the small screen in all their blocky glory.
If the Sci-Fi machinations of George Lucas are more your style there's Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Gunner, the first Star Wars game to use AR to enhance the gameplay. You get to take your seat at the guns of the Millennium Flacon and blast Tie Fighters out of the sky – what could be better? If you like shooting but prefer a grittier post-apocalyptic setting there's Rage, the new on-rails shooter from ID Software that makes you the star of a TV show where you'll be hunted by hungry mutants. And, in our weekly dose of "who has the best freemium MMO now" there's Kingdom Conquest from SEGA, an MMO that combines RPG dungeon crawling, SimCity kingdom building and forging alliances to rule the world.
This week seemed to be divided between ports (iPhone to iPad and vice versa) and free games, and since I'm not overly excited about detailing ports (as I've likely already written about the game being ported), my list has a lot of free games in it. Starting off the list are two new city builders, Trade Nations and Smurfs' Village. Trade Nations claims to be "cuter" than games like We Rule, but I don't know how you can get any cuter than the little blue creatures living in mushroom houses. If you do feel like shelling out a bit of cash there's Stenches, the spin-off of Trenches that turns the Zombie Horde mode into a full fledged game. From the "before there was Doodle Jump' era comes Icy Tower, which to this day remains one of my favorite "climb to the top" games on any platform.
This was an interesting week. A couple of big players released what felt like low key properties, and some indies released some interesting looking titles that will unfortunately probably get passed over. Topping the list is Capcom Arcade, one of Capcom's first ventures into the world of freemium iPhone gaming. This emulator includes an initial lineup of hits like 1942 and Street Fighter 2, and is free to play for 3 games a day. If your retro fetish falls more in line with job based oldies then you might want to check out Paperboy: Special Delivery, Glu's modern take on the 80's classic inspired by the job held by pre-teen boys across the country. For something a bit darker you might want to check out Necronomicon, an interesting card / board game / RPG based off the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Finally, for the social strategist there's foursqWAR, a tactical war game plastered on top of the Foursquare social network.
What an interesting week this was. Being Halloween week there was naturally an influx of zombie games. However, the big news came in the revitalization of a 10 year old Dreamcast game – ChuChu Rocket. This puzzle game is available for all iDevices, sports plenty of game play modes, and allows you to play 4 players on the same device if you own an iPad. If you're into galaxy spanning crusades then Fishlabs has you covered with Galaxy on Fire 2, the sequel to their popular 3D shooter / simulation game Galaxy On Fire 3D. Gun Bros is one of the latest dual stick shooters to hit iOS devices, and it's unique 2 player game system allows you to wrack up experience even when you're not actually playing the game. And, if you haven't gotten enough of the Duke Nukem wanna-be Barry Steakfries there's Age of Zombies, the "re-imagining" of their popular 2D sprinter Monster Dash.

Brian Cox at djcad
The Dundee University, to which djcad is attached, is very fortunate to have the esteemed actor Brian Cox as its Rector. He was kind enough to come to the college to talk to the animation students about film-making and acting. Here is a snippet from his lecture in which he talks about his acting process and the importance of motivation within a character. The talk was full of great information as you'd expect from an actor who has worked with the likes of Wes Anderson, David Fincher, Woody Allen, Paul Greengrass and Spike Jonze. Many thanks to Brian and we hope to see him again soon.

Goodbye Animation Industry
Well, it's time for me to bow out of the animation industry for the foreseeable future. I have decided to change tack in my career and step into academia and teaching. I have had a great time in the world of animation, and been fortunate enough to have worked on some great projects and with some of the most awe-inspiringly talented people in the world. However, after many years of trying to navigate the increasingly uncertain waters of the animation industry I have decided to come ashore. The increased instability has coincided with a decreased in satisfaction with some aspects of the job.

Favours and Inbetweens, feel the difference.
A short video made for an animation class to demonstrate the difference between a direct inbetween and an inbetween favouring a pose in a two frame move. All the eye darts take two frames. The ones before the blink are direct inbetweens, the ones after favour the first pose. The favours not only appear smoother but have more life to them too.

Mune Trailer
Here's a trailer of an animated film called Mune which I worked on last year in Montreal. We didn't have the biggest budget so I'm really impressed with how the final film looks. I think one of the most successful things is the lighting and colour schemes. The art director, Rémi Salmon, who has a wonderful unique style, created the concept art at the start of the project, as well as overseeing the lighting at the end - a rare thing in animated features and I think this has given Mune a very strong and interesting look. This was also helped by Nico Marlet having a hand in the character design.
Mune concept art
I'm not sure when the film is coming out but hopefully soon. Enjoy.

Pacific Rim Animation Reel, Falling Cars 'n' All
With the recent release of Pacific Rim for purchase I thought I'd create an edit of all the shots I animated on the film. I've even included the simpler ones of falling cars and hovering helicopters. I've also added a few shots for continuity (marked with a red dot), most of which don't contain animation apart from the one at 0:52 which was animated by Cedric Lo. So please note, that's his great work there. Pacific Rim was a really enjoyable project to work on. I joined ILM thinking that, with their work being of such high quality, there would be many rounds of revisions and getting shots approved would take a long time. I was surprised to find that there was a lot of trust placed in everyone's ability and with unprecedented access to the director, Guillermo del Toro, I was able to animate more footage in 6 months than on any other live-action film I can think of. Footage Copyright owned by Warner Bros. Pictures & Legendary Pictures. The song is Club Foot by Kasabian.

By T. Anthony BellSeptember 26, 2013
FORT LEE, Va. (Sept. 26, 2013) -- Sgt. Kimberly Smith has a vision -- one in which she showcases the full range of her hoop skills, becomes more of a leader and generates enough passion on the floor that it becomes infectious.
And win a gold medal.
"No more silver medals," said the Special Troops Battalion Soldier in reference to the upcoming All Army Basketball Trial Camp. "I'm still feeling some displeasure about that."
The trial camp is scheduled for Oct. 14 - Nov. 6 at Fort Indiantown Gap, Pa. After roster selections are made, the All Army team takes aim at the Armed Forces Women's Basketball Tournament slated for Nov. 7-15 at Great Lakes, Ill.
A shoo-in to make the All Army roster because she is one of only four or five returning players, Smith's ambitions for gold come from figuratively wearing the 'tourney runners-up' moniker the past two years. The former collegiate player said her trophy case is in need of a makeover, and she intends to accomplish it through a list of goals and expectations she has set for herself:
"I want to be a consistent leader," she said, "not just talk the talk off the floor, but put in the work on the floor. I also want to bring the younger girls along; push the veterans; and encourage teamwork."
The 5-foot-11-inch, 160-pound Smith clearly has leadership aspirations in mind for this year's camp.
And she should. The Jacksonville, Fla., native won a spot on the All Army roster as a private first class in 2011 and again the following year as a specialist. Further, she was named each year to the All Armed Forces Team.
Now, as a 29-year-old noncommissioned officer, she is seasoned, near her peak, and is poised to make additions to her list of accomplishments, said Chief Warrant Officer 4 Marvin Michael.
"I think she's in a situation similar to Serena Williams, the tennis player," said the Soldier who has intermittently coached Smith the past four years. "She realizes that she is getting older, and this opportunity may not be there again, so she wants to take advantage of her time."
Four years ago, Michael said he spotted Smith and another Soldier in the gym while they were still in quartermaster advanced individual training. Upon seeing them play, he declared, "I've got to have them on my team." He has seen her court skills and persona change dramatically since them.
"Smith's game has really, really progressed," he said. "She has improved her follow-through, ability to go to the hoop strongly and get to the line, her ability to keep her composure and her ability to lead. She is a true leader on the court."
Smith emphasized the leadership traits Smith has acquired and the maturity she has gained, especially in consideration of her past tendencies to get frustrated and impatient.
"The things that used to bother her on the court no longer bother her," said Michael.
Smith also has made herself more versatile offensively. She is accustomed to playing the small forward, forward and center positions but has broadened her game to the extent that she can be slotted in the shooting guard position as well.
"Honestly speaking, I can compare her to a Candace Parker (of the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks)," said Michael of Smith's flexibility. "She is not a true point guard. Neither is Parker, but she is a leader like her and can play the game just as well."
The 6-foot-4-inch Parker is well-known for her prowess at every position on the floor. She averaged 17.2 points, 2.1 blocks, 3.2 assists and 9.3 rebounds a game this season.
Smith said her game more closely resembles that of Tamika Catchings, another versatile WNBA player, and that her enhanced offensive repertoire is the result of a grueling training regimen.
"I have worked so hard," she said, "especially on my midrange shot. A lot of people don't work on that, but it's one part of my game I wanted to improve."
Not much of Smith's on-the-court skills can be bettered, said Michael. The only room for improvement, he commented, has to do with an intangible -- belief in her abilities.
"Just her self-confidence," he said, "confidence in knowing 'I am a leader, that I can take a game over and I can get us this victory.'"
Michael seemed to indicate that Smith is at the crossroads of better-than-average and exceptional. Smith didn't seem to have any shortage of confidence and projected a high measure of self-assurance, even a bit of swagger. Enough so that she has already constructed the ideal, signature camp scenario in which the Army team wins the gold medal.
"I hope to secure a spot on the All Armed Forces Team, make it better, provide a good experience to make the younger players want to come back, make the country proud, represent my family and make the Army proud."
Only time will tell whether Smith's vision becomes reality.

It is for the purpose of doing more complete and accurate package reviews that I'd like to get at the mock chroot, install a couple of extra packages into it and run an arbitrary command or two.

Now You're Playing With Worthless Gimmicks
When the first lucky players (whose parents could afford to buy overpriced electronics at FAO Schwarz) got ahold of the first batch of Nintendo Entertainment Systems on Christmas Day, 1985, they noticed two things right off the bat. First was that you could do way better at Duck Hunt if you just put the Zapper right up to the TV screen. Second was that the standard controller was totally great.
One of the craziest was actually packed in with the launch shipment of NES consoles. Care to see how far Nintendo has come over the years? Here's all the evidence you need. With devices like the DS touch screen and Wii Remote, they're hoping to simplify the way we interact with games. But the Robotic Operating Buddy made gameplay twice as complex and fiddly. R.O.B. was a controller that Rube Goldberg would have loved; simply getting it to accomplish the equivalent of a single button press took all sorts of effort on the player's part. Not to mention the fact that it required three batteries of varying sizes, which ran out in about a month. (Not that you would actually play Gyromite for a month. Just theoretically.)
Other controllers contributing to the swift deaths of NES players across the globe were the U-Force and Power Glove. Both were spawned from the awful virtual reality fad of the late eighties, during which the entire venture capital community got so caught up in the idea that a consumer version of the holodeck would be available by 1997 that they failed to realize that even the most expensive rendering equipment available at the time could only churn out a virtual space that resembled Star Fox, only with fewer polygons. Eventually people came to their senses, but in the meantime consumers were fleeced into thinking that these devices were The Future.
In fact, much like R.O.B. or the Roll & Rocker, all they did was make games harder to play. Mario's not hard to get the hang of the regular way, but when you were waving your hands around in the air, hoping in vain that whatever cheapo assortment of plastic motion sensors that you got for Christmas would pick up your body movements, the result you usually got was something short of total mind-candy immersion. It was closer to "endless game overs."
There was at least one NES controller that actually did do something other than just make games harder to control. The Game Handler was usually described as a "one-handed controller," but its functionality went well beyond simply freeing up your other hand for simultaneous pizza eating or body-part scratching or what have you. The Game Handler had no base -- it was just a free-floating cylinder that you tilted to make your game character move. Unfortunately, it didn't really work properly, and the technology inside ended up sending all sorts of weird signals that the NES didn't know what to do with. So of course, this was billed as a "feature." Make Mario run backward! Make your Ninja Turtle disappear! An instructional video was included to show you how to ruin your games in your very own home.
