Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Studios shouldn't sulk when screenings don't go their way
I finally saw the American version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on Monday. If you've been keeping track of the controversy surrounding New Yorker critic David Denby, that's exactly four weeks after Denby saw his press screening in New York on Nov. 28.
In case you missed it: In exchange for the opportunity to see it early, Denby agreed to hold his review of the film until Dec. 13, but broke the studio-imposed embargo and ran his review in the New Yorker issue one week early. This prompted an email exchange in which the film's producer Scott Rudin rebuked the critic thus: "You've very badly damaged the movie by doing this, and I could not in good conscience invite you to see another movie of mine again."
The review was positive, mind you; it's mostly a mash note to Rooney Mara, who is indeed very impressive as the feral, punk-hacker heroine Lisbeth Salander.
But it's difficult for me to take sides on the issue. I think Denby was wrong to break his agreement. I think Rudin was wrong to suggest Denby "damaged the movie." It did no such thing. Studios like to exercise as much control as possible over media when they can, in exchange for advance screenings. But if anything, Denby's lapse of judgment only resulted in what studios might call "positive early buzz."
Of course, my perspective is one of the remote, regional movie critic who could only fantasize about month-long lead times between a screening and the writing of a review.
We too enjoy advance screenings of films. Not all films. A few. Some studios, 20th Century Fox and its boutique division Fox Searchlight, for example, never pre-screen movies in Winnipeg, ever -- except for the good folks at the Manitoba Film Classification Board. (Alas, the board doesn't allow non-board members into their screenings. I've asked.) If you've read a review of a Fox film in the Free Press the last few years, it was probably written by a critic stationed in Toronto, Los Angeles or New York, where that studio still does advance screenings.
I didn't bother filing a review of Sony's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo because the movie had its sole Winnipeg screening on Dec. 19 and the studio had, on short notice, bumped up the release date a day to Dec. 20. On those occasions, I must relinquish my opinion to a wire review, as any review I submitted would never make deadline.
I must emphasize the date change wasn't because the studio was feeling suddenly prickly towards critics. This kind of thing happens more and more frequently these days, and it is largely due to the studios attempting to beef up their opening-weekend box office numbers by stretching out the weekend itself. In fact, it happened the previous week with the opening of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. The Guy Ritchie-directed franchise entry previewed the evening of Wednesday, Dec. 14, but the studio fudged the release date on that one, too. Its official release date was Friday, Dec. 16, but of course, it really opened on Dec. 15 at 10 p.m. We ran a wire review that day. As much as I was looking forward to Sherlock, I saw Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol on Wednesday evening instead. The folks at Paramount, bless 'em, were holding firm to their Friday release date.
Warner Bros. didn't do themselves any favours on Sherlock, it turned out. We ran a two-and-a-half star review in which Miami Herald critic Connie Ogle termed it "an overlong, overblown, disorganized mess" boasting "a convoluted plot, more explosions than a Transformers movie and fisticuffs that aren't half as exciting as Ritchie seems to think they are."
With respect to Ms. Ogle, I enjoyed it much more. I especially appreciated the film's sexual undertone, which culminates when Holmes -- dressed in drag, mind you -- tosses Watson's new bride off their honeymoon train and entreats him to duck an anticipated hail of bullets with the line: "Lie with me, Watson." Holmes's relationship with the fiendish Moriarty (Jared Harris) adds still another dimension to the movie's landscape of sublimated Victorian sexuality, hinted at in the title. As for Moriarty's scheme to become a war profiteer, I'll buy Game of Shadows' take on the industrialization of combat at the turn of the 20th century over anything in Steven Spielberg's too-pretty Second World War drama War Horse.
On the other hand, I was not quite as enamoured of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo as Postmedia's excellent critic Katherine Monk, who suggested the original Swedish version of the film by Niels Arden Oplev was more sexually exploitative, especially with reference to the rape scene, which Ms. Monk said was geared towards titillation. To understate: I disagree.
In fact, I hold that the original Swedish language movie was superior right down the line, though it was undoubtedly less expensive and less laden with A-list movie stars along the lines of Daniel Craig. It may have lacked Fincher's amped-up directing style. But its casting was dead on. Michael Nyqvist nails cock-of-the-walk journalist Mikael Blomkvist better than Craig. The nicest thing you could possibly say about Mara's interpretation of Salander is that she comes close to matching Noomi Rapace's work in the original. Secondary characters, especially Blomkvist's editor/lover Erika Berger, were better served by Swedish actors than they were American actors pretending to be Swedish. Finally, the film itself is enriched by the simple fact that it is authentically Swedish, though this is undoubtedly the reason the film was remade in the first place: North American audiences don't like having to read subtitles.
Of course, I don't think my opinion will damage the movie any more than David Denby's too-early review. After all, I am just a simple regional critic at a daily newspaper in Winnipeg. Nevertheless, Mr. Rudin, I look forward to your angry rebuke. My email address is below.

About Randall King
In a way, Randall King was born into the entertainment beat.
His dad was Winnipeg musician Jimmy King, a one-time columnist for the Winnipeg Free Press. One of his brothers is a playwright. Another is a singer-songwriter.
Randall has been content to cover the entertainment beat in one capacity or another since 1990.
His beat is film, and the job has placed him in the same room as diverse talents, from Martin Scorsese to Martin Short, from Julie Christie to Julia Styles. He has met three James Bonds (four if you count Woody Allen), and director Russ Meyer once told him: "I like your style."
He really likes his job.

Enterprise social tools need to be highly mobile
AstraZeneca exec says social collaboration tools need to work on tablets, smartphones
Computerworld - Executives at AstraZeneca, a global pharmaceutical company, know that it's not enough to provide social collaboration tools for their employees. Those tools need to be highly mobile.
Employees are likely to be happy to get enterprise-level social collaboration tools, but they are just as likely to be frustrated if those tools aren't highly mobile, said Angela Yochem, chief technology officer at AstraZeneca, which has 57,200 employees in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
Enterprises are increasingly turning to social collaboration tools to get their employees working together and sharing resources and information. Companies are using enterprise-level versions of Facebook-like profiles and networks, instant messaging, videoconferencing and microblogging.
But it's not enough to be social. Workers want to be social while they're on the move, and having these social tools working only on a laptop isn't going to cut it.
"Our job is to provide access to information and resources as quickly and painlessly as we possibly can," Yochem said. "If that means providing communication access through mobile devices of any sort, or Google TV, or a desktop or laptop, we want to be able to provide that. That's very important."
AstraZeneca uses Microsoft SharePoint for collaboration and is in the midst of a pilot program with Microsoft Lync, a unified communications software. Yochem said 4,300 AstraZeneca employees across 33 countries are participating in the Lync pilot.
It's important to Yochem that Lync work on tablets and smartphones, as well as on desktops and laptops. "We don't want to have to restrict people for what works for them," she told Computerworld. "We want to provide a sophisticated level of collaboration capability no matter what they're using."
Tablets and smartphones have become ubiquitous tools for the corporate workforce. Over the past year, the PC market has taken a beating from the burgeoning tablet market -- specifically the Apple iPad. Earlier this month, research firm Gartner reported that worldwide PC shipments are expected to remain weak throughout 2012. Part of that sluggishness is that many consumers and enterprises are spending their money on trendy tablets instead of on a new laptop.
Many professionals who travel for work, and even those anchored in the office, have their own smartphone, if not a smartphone issued by the company.
People get attached to their mobile devices, said Dan Olds, an analyst with The Gabriel Consulting Group. They're going to be frustrated if they can't use enterprise social tools on their favorite devices.
"It's critically important that companies ensure their tools work on a range of business and consumer devices," added Olds. "If they confine their tools to desktops and laptops, they'll get a lot of user complaints and they won't get as much participation as they hope ... Some employees, particularly executives, are sort of spoiled when it comes to their shiny new device. They don't understand, or don't want to understand, why everything doesn't just automatically work on them."

Inquiry could link prison fights to Oklahoma City case
Officials are investigating a possible link between weekend fights at three prisons and the arrest of a man accused of shooting, stabbing and then burning a man and three women in a southwest Oklahoma City house Nov. 9.
On Friday, prosecutors filed six first-degree murder counts against an David Allen Tyner, an American Indian. They accuse him of killing a Hispanic man he once worked for as a bodyguard, the three women and two unborn children.
The following day, a series of fights between American Indians and Hispanics broke out in three prisons across the state.
Oklahoma County Sheriff John Whetsel said he received information that Saturday prison fights in Granite, Hominy and Cushing were linked to the deaths. The fights sent six inmates to hospitals.
Whetsel said he had heard that Tyner was a member of a gang called the Indian Brotherhood, which may have been involved in the prison fights.
"That's the indication we have," Whetsel said Monday.
"We've got nothing that confirms that for us, but given the nature of the crime itself and the rumors regarding these other occurrences, we've maintained tight security and we've gone back and rechecked it."
Tyner was a bodyguard for victim Casey Mark Barrientos, 32, who was in and out of prisons for several years for drug convictions, officials said. Barrientos also once was involved in a drive-by shooting.

These printers are often erroneously referred to as winprinters or GDI printers. In fact, QPDL printers are raster printers which happen to use a very efficient wire protocol. QPDL is just one of many wire protocols that are in use today, such as PostScript, PCL, Epson, and ZjStream.

A quick reader on why military intervention in Syria is a big mistake--and what we should be advocating instead.
The White House has declared a strike upon Syria imminent without providing a clear rationale for military action, except as an attempt to satisfy an arbitrary "red line."
It is perhaps hackneyed to refer to Syria as a tinderbox or a powder keg, but that's exactly what it is.

I spotted this lizard in Ammoudares region, near Lixouri, Cephalonia island, Greece
Pigeon with beautiful markings and colouring. pink/purple legs, soft grey/blue,dusty pink body feathers, grey wings and tail edged with white, white band on face extending to back of head, grey cap, white forehead with blush of apricot, black eyes, irridescent wing feathers that change with movement and light. Once good eating for early settlers to this country. Low monotonous call, often mistaken for that of an owl.
Large honeyeater, also supplements diet with insects. White body, olive green back, wings, tail with grey areas, throat black with black stripe from beak to back of head/neck, white and black cap, distinctive blue skin patch around eyes this can be bright blue to turquoise in colour, also yellow/green in females and immature birds. Observed taking over nests of Grey-crowned Babblers, will build its own nest but also likes to raid the materials from others.
A sea star that is most often shades of deep or lighter blue, but varies throughout its range to green/blue, purple and even orange (as pictured in another contribution by another 'spotter' on Project Noah). Although they appear soft the texture and form of the sea star is harder than it seems. Usually five arms, and has ability to regenerate.
Teaching baby to dust bathe - Known as Happy Family birds (when you see them together you can understand why!), grey/brown back, wings, tail, face stripe, soft grey crown over white head, front and belly white, slightly curved pointed black beak, large chestnut/rufous brown patch on wings seen in flight, young have very dark eyes. Call consists of many excited notes, but main identifying call sounds like 'yahoo'.
Mapping Nature on Your Smartphone
For the developers at New York start-up Networked Organisms, smartphones are the butterfly nets of the 21st Century. Their tool, Project Noah, lets people upload photos of plants and wildlife around them, creating a map of the natural world and contributing to scientific research in the process.
What kind of beetle? This app knows
Bespectacled scientists of yore would carry around hefty field guides, made up of hundreds of pages of text and photos. But these days, smartphone owners have a lighter option: an app called Project Noah, which aims to help people identify plants and animals as well as collect data from "citizen scientists" about where certain species are located.
Designing ecosystems for talent development
Project Noah enables us to be part of a more focused online community where we can learn more about wildlife around us and contribute to scientific research. It pulls participants into deeper, more meaningful engagement by enabling people to go on "missions" to collectively map changes based on sightings.
A smart way to save wildlife
A modern invention that may also hold the key to saving species in the future. Project Noah is a global study that encourages nature lovers to document the wildlife they encounter, using a purpose built phone app and web community. In addition to the virtual "collection" of species, Project Noah encourages citizen science by linking up with existing surveys including the International Spider Survey and the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network.
New mobile applications include a tool called NOAH that lets you take cellphone pictures of bugs and trees and then sends back an identification of the exact type in as little as 24 hours.

Home ⋅ Thank You Notes and Photo Baby Thank You Cards ⋅ $ ⋅ Adult ⋅ 1 Photo
"I first have to state how personable Tiny Prints' call center was and how efficient they were in getting my order correct. I contacted them when I discovered that I did not receive the free shipping (my oversight) and not only did they refund me the shipping but they sent me a handwritten not in the mail to thank me for my call and asked if I needed anything further regarding my order. I was surprised that this company would remember me. I am totally pleased with the post card, it is beautiful, the paper quality, the format and the picture quality looks as if I had the pictures taken professionally. This is my NEW best company. I handed out the cards to parents that attended my son's birthday party as a thank you card, they loved them!!! !"

ATLANTA (AP) -- The Georgia House has passed a state spending plan that trims many government agencies, but largely insulates public schools from cuts.
The 159-15 vote sends the $40.9 billion budget to the Senate.
House members endorsed Gov. Nathan Deal's proposal to spend more to extend pre-kindergarten from 170 days to 180 days. They also followed Deal's recommendation to add money for HOPE grants. That will allow a reduction for academic requirements for technical college scholarships.
The chamber broke from Deal, however, by declining to cut $2.6 million in special grants for small, mostly rural schools.
The budget also assumes that Georgia hospitals will continue to pay an industry tax to help finance the Medicaid insurance program for the poor, elderly and disabled.
Fiscal 2014 begins July 1.

Facts Support DGW as Sound Investment
The recent attack on Chinese RTO stocks is nothing short of spectacular. The panic is so powerful that the implosion ripples to all but a few Chinese small caps. That means some solid businesses inevitably get trashed by this massive panic movement. And this in turn spells opportunity for the courageous value investors.I tend to believe that value can often be found in the impossible corners. One such impossible corner might just have to do with the auditor/accounting issues recently exposed on DYP (Duoyuan Printing).Because the extent of DYP's internal control issue is hard to fathom at least until either delisting action is announced or 10-K filing is resumed, I have no interest in jumping on DYP at this point. However, its well known guilt-by-association victim, DGW (Duoyuan Global Water) has really captured my attention particularly after the latest price decline.Before I set out I want to mention that DGW is not really an RTO stock. It went public through regular IPO procedure conducted by Piper Jaffray as sole book runner, and co-managed by Oppenheimer, and Janney Montgomery Scott. It was DYP that went public via RTO.DGW stock tanked due to DYP's accounting issues, due to the aforementioned guilt-by-association impact. DGW and DYP are two independent companies but were founded by the same entrepreneur, Mr. Wenhua Guo. Mr. Guo currently serves as Chairman of both companies and also CEO of DGW.DGW recently traded at $10.02. However, as of September 30, 2010, its book value stood at $12.14 and cash alone was worth $6.20 per ADS. If you factor in the rising RMB and use the more recent US/RMB exchange rate of 6.561, book value and cash would rise to $12.38 and $6.32 respectively.Of course the most critical question regarding DGW is whether its "book" can be trusted. Fortunately the case is greatly simplified by the fact that the company has taken in a total of $170.2 million net proceeds in its IPO and a follow-on offering. So without the company having to perform any operating activity, the capital inflow from Wall Street alone is worth $6.92 per ADS!With the $170.2 million, or $6.92 per ADS, windfall from Wall Street, shareholders now only need to make sure that company's two decades of operation has amassed a net asset value of $5.46 per ADS for them. Given company's solid footprint in the Chinese water treatment equipment industry, this certainly looks quite reasonable. Here are a few simple facts about DGW's solid industrial position.- 1. DGW's latest annual filing listed Beijing Kejingyuan as its competitor in the Circulating Water Treatment Equipment segment. As you can see from a water-treatment industry analysis (by Jiangsu Wanxin Investments based on Beijing Kejingyuan's prospectus), DGW was indeed recognized as Kejingyuan's major competitor in the "emerging domestic water environment protection enterprises" category that DGW and Kejingyuan both were believed to belong.
- 2. As early as 2004, DGW's operating company/predecessor was recognized as a Leading Enterprise by BJEIT (Beijing Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology) under the Equipment Industry category.
- 3. Over the years, DGW has become a long-term water treatment equipment supplier to renowned industry leaders that include Faxconn and Chongqing Endurance Shanhua Special Vehicle Co. Ltd. DGW's more recent footprint can be seen in its involvement in projects associated with the Shanghai Expo 2010 event. Its water treatment equipments were used in the Shanghai metro/subway system whose environmental integrity was critical to this world expo event. See here.
- 4. DGW was recognized as a Top 10 Water Industry Engineering Company in 2009. Winning this same honor in the Chinese water industry was Veolia Water, a subsidiary of the renowned French multinational Veolia Environment (VE).
Combining the company's well-established position in the Chinese water equipment industry with the supersized Wall Street windfall, odds are good DGW is well worth its stated book value of $12.38. Investors do not actually need the impressive 30% or so top line and double-digit earnings growth to justify a stock price of at $12+. To be worth this level of present value, DGW does not even need to bring in any future earnings. It just needs to maintain break-even level.
Moreover, once doubts are removed from company's financials, the stock will be worth well beyond $12.38. This is because the company looks likely to grow tremendously in the future than just maintain even. By the way, company has been using the capital raised from Wall Street to greatly expand its R&D and manufacturing facilities.Now, the short-term and intermediate-term catalysts for the stock could be the Q4 earnings announcement in March and the completion of the company's preemptive review of accounting, internal control and corporate governance.For the accounting review, it is hard to predict when it will be complete particularly given that it involves the investigation of an independent major law firm. Currently there are obvious anxiety and impatience in the investing community surrounding why the review takes so long. But remember that it took CBPO 10+ months to complete a similar review. So, at four or five months into the review now, investors should understand that the seemingly indefinite wait is nothing but normal.Regarding the Q4 earnings release in March, it appears reasonable to expect the prior revenue outlook of RMB 210 million for Q4 and RMB 1.0 billion for whole year to hold. This is because the outlook was given as of November 17 when half of the Q4 was already complete.

Fiplab Pin + Pin Pro for Pinterest
Fiplab specializes in developing tiny applications that live in your Menu Bar, providing quick access to social networks—Google+, Facebook, and Gmail in the past. Now it's developed an app for Pinterest. Pin for Pinterest is the free version, while Pin Pro ($1) gives you the same features but strips the ads away and has upload support.
Just click on the icon and your Pinterest feed pops down from the top of the screen; you can alternatively hit Control + P. One of the cooler features is the ability to switch between mobile and desktop interfaces. The former is better for taking a quick peak, while the latter allows more of an in-depth look and the ability to post pictures. There's even a "ninja stealth mode" that helps hide your Pinteresting ways when at work by making the window as transparent as you prefer, so that you can still see Pinterest content overlapping whatever else you're doing. If you're an avid Pinterest user, it's probably worth spending the buck on this one.

Inherited Immunity
Inherited Immunity
- by Viki Babcock
(high school science)
Students learn about incomplete dominance inheritance by learning about the survivors of the Black Death and completing Punnett Squares. They also discover an important link between this ancient disease and the current menace of AIDS.
Estimated class time
One 90-minute block, or two shorter class periods
Lesson Objectives
Students will:
Learn about the history of the Plague.
Describe how the plague bacteria infected humans.
Define immunity
Illustrate incomplete dominance inheritance using Punnett Squares
Materials needed
Internet access
Copies of
Inherited Immunity Punnett Square Activity Sheet
Video clips are available on the SECRETS OF THE DEAD: Mystery of the Black Death website, but if you wish to purchase the complete program, visit PBS Shop for Teachers
Teaching Strategy
Video clips for your students are available here.
Video Clips
Ask students what it means when someone says "I must be immune to that." Find out through discussion and examples or personal anecdotes what are the students' perceptions about immunity. Ask them why they think some people seem to be immune to some things and others are not.
Direct students to the SECRETS OF THE DEAD Web site at
. Read the Background and the Clues and Evidence sections together and discuss the following.
What led Dr. O'Brien to study the possibility of an inherited immunity to the Black Death?
What happens on a cellular level when a person who is immune to a certain infectious disease is exposed to that disease?
Describe some of the problems and obstacles that O'Brien had to overcome to complete his research about the resistance to the plague.
What is the connection between the historical resistance to the plague and the modern-day threat of AIDS?
Have students view the video clips on the Web site and respond to the questions about each. Discuss as a class or in small groups.
At this point review the concepts of Mendelian genetics and how to use Punnett squares. You may want to direct students to the Baby Step Through the Punnett Square site, if needed. Present the class with some sample crosses that show normal Mendelian inheritance (such as a cross between two individuals that are heterozygous for a widow's peak, or a homozygous recessive non-tongue roller with homozygous dominant tongue roller) and have students create the Punnett Squares on the board or overhead projector.
Ask how the inheritance of plague immunity via the CCR5-D32 gene is different from normal Mendelian genetics. Lead students to the idea that there are three possible phenotypes: death from plague, partial immunity (have symptoms, but survive) and complete immunity. Explain that this is a case of incomplete dominance, in which the heterozygous condition results in an intermediate phenotype, rather than the expression of a dominant allele. Have students become more familiar with the concept of incomplete dominance by completing the Inherited Immunity Punnett Square Activity Sheet.
Have students research to find out about other traits that are passed on via incomplete dominance and create their own Punnett Square probability charts.

Correlation to National Science Standards
Standards from
As a result of their activities in grades 9-12, all students should develop understanding of molecular basis of heredity:
In all organisms, the instructions for specifying the characteristics of the organism are carried in DNA.
Transmission of genetic information to offspring occurs through egg and sperm cells that contain only one representative from each chromosome pair. An egg and a sperm unite to form a new individual. The fact that the human body is formed from cells that contain two copies of each chromosome--and therefore two copies of each gene--explains many features of human heredity, such as how variations that are hidden in one generation can be expressed in the next.
Changes in DNA (mutations) occur spontaneously at low rates. Some of these changes make no difference to the organism, whereas others can change cells and organisms.
As a result of activities in grades 9-12, all students should develop understanding of personal and community health:
The severity of disease symptoms is dependent on many factors, such as human resistance and the virulence of the disease-producing organism. Many diseases can be prevented, controlled, or cured.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Phillip Law (September 7, 1937 – May 13, 2008) was an American film actor with over one hundred movie roles to his credit. He was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of actress Phyllis Sallee and the brother of actor Thomas Augustus Law (also known as Tom Law).
He was best known for his roles as the blind angel Pygar in the 1968 science fiction cult classic anti-war film Barbarella, and as news anchor Robin Stone in the 1971 movie The Love Machine. (The latter reteamed him with Alexandra Hay, his costar from the 1968 "acid comedy" Skidoo.) He also gained attention in the title role of the 1968 thriller Danger: Diabolik and as a Russian sailor stranded in a New England village in The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming.
Tall (six-foot-five) and handsome, with steel blue eyes, Law became a male sex symbol in the 1960s. He was a VIP guest at Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion and in Hollywood society. While he never achieved superstar status, he became a popular action hero, particularly in the Italian movie market, with movies ranging from science fiction, and fantasy to comedy, westerns, drama, and war movies.
Law co-starred in Roger Corman's 1971 film Von Richthofen and Brown, playing Manfred von Richthofen opposite Don Stroud's Roy Brown. Corman used Lynn Garrison's Irish aviation facility, complete with replica World War I aircraft. Garrison taught Law the basics of flying so that he could take off and land, making some of the footage more realistic.
Some other of Law's movies have also become cult classics, including The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, Death Rides a Horse and Attack Force Z.
Two of Law's films, Danger: Diabolik and Space Mutiny, were also featured in the movie-mocking TV series Mystery Science Theater 3000.
In 2001 he appeared in Roman Coppola's directorial debut CQ, an homage to the Italian spy/sci-fi B-movies in which Law often starred during the 1960s. Law's final credited film role was in 2008's Chinaman's Chance.
In his personal life, he was once married to actress Shawn Ryan, with whom he had a daughter named Dawn.
His doctors told him in late 2007 that he had pancreatic cancer and only six months to live. Law died May 13, 2008, at his Los Angeles home. His remains were cremated and the ashes remain with his daughter, Dawn and his grandson, Ryan.

Chipmunk Physics Demo PSP - homebrew physics engine demo for PSP |
Listed in: Homebrew Applications Tags: Custom Firmware, MK2k, psp homebrews, Sony
Physics engines have always been an amusing way to test the limits of any platform. This latest homebrew physics engine developed by MK2k takes a look at some of the innovative game physics that can take place on the PlayStation Portable handheld with the Chipmunk Physics Demo PSP.
This nifty demo application was based on a port of the Chipmunk Physics Library by Slembcke and uses the graphics and user input from Dr. Watson's JGE++ Engine.
To give everyone a better idea, the developer has also provided a demo video of the program in action. If the video seems rather slow and choppy, that's because it was taken through a series of screenshots spliced together rather than an actual video capture.
Chipmunk Physics Demo PSP is compatible with the PSP's original firmware 1.50, as well as any of the 3.xx custom firmware released for the platform. You can read the in-depth instructions on how to install the application through the Readme.txt file found in the homebrew bundle which we've provided below.
Anyway, we hope you enjoy testing out this interesting homebrew physics engine. Don't forget to check in with us again for more updates on the PSP homebrew development scene.

Those superstitious types who freaked out last year when the calendar read 06/06/06 will have something to smile about on the 7th day of the 7th month, 2007.
Believing the triple appearance of the number 7 will bring luck, many people are planning important events for this first Saturday in July. Brides and grooms, especially, looking for a little extra dose of marital fortune, are flocking to the altar in droves on 07/07/07, according to wedding watchers.
The number seven is considered lucky due to its frequent and favorable appearance in the Bible, say historians.
"As the number of the days of God's first week, of the levels of heaven...of the numbers of angels and trumpets, etc., the number came in the last few centuries BCE to represent divine perfection," said David Frankfurter, professor of religious studies and history at the University of New Hampshire. "Something organized seven-fold meant that it corresponded to God's own arrangement."
Lucky numbers also vary from culture to culture, proving, skeptics say, that coincidental connections between an event and the influence of a number can always be found if you're looking hard enough, no matter what the digit.
Chinese culture, for example, associates "degrees" of luck according to how a number is pronounced. Eight, whose Chinese name rhymes with the words for prosperity and wealth, is considered particularly auspicious. The Beijing Olympics, as a result, will open next year at 8 p.m. on Aug. 8, 2008. Many Chinese consider 7 a very unlucky number associated with death.

By Steve Rogers
Wednesday, October 30, 2013
Hendon blogger Steve Rogers gives his verdict on last night's 5-2 loss away at Hampton & Richmond Borough in the Ryman League Premier Division.
Talk about a reversal of results. On Saturday we beat Thamesmead Town 5-2. Last night we lost 5-2 at Hampton & Richmond Borough!
I missed Saturday's game, but by all accounts we played very well for the first hour and then, thinking the game was won, got a bit casual. Fortunately no serious damage was done, but I know the management were unhappy with the last half-hour of the game.
As for last night, I think it's safe to say the management will be unhappy with the whole 90 minutes. We were completely outplayed, out-thought and outworked by Hampton, who thoroughly deserved their win.
We gave the ball away cheaply far too many times - and at least three of Hampton's goals came from us doing exactly that. The first came about through a poor defensive header, the second from poor decision-making and then a poor pass from one of our most experienced players. Both goals were scored by the same player, Charlie Moone, and that left us two goals down at half-time.
Within 10 minutes of the restart, Hampton were 4-0 up and the game was gone. Who scored for them? Moone, completing a four-timer. No lessons had been learned, you cannot keep giving the ball away or conceding penalties - however harsh it may have been - when someone of the quality of Moone is playing for the opposition.
We did come back into the game in the last quarter of an hour. Jefferson Louis, who was one of two members of the starting line-up exempt from criticism last night, scored two good goals. The second one was particularly good, a fierce strike hit on the turn that the Hampton keeper could only watch as it flew into the net.
Any hopes of a late late comeback were finally ended when Hampton scored a final goal – not scored by Moone, who had been substituted with 25 minutes left on the clock.
It's certainly a very up and down journey following Hendon at the moment, and the lack of consistency in performances is our downfall. We seem to either be very good or very bad, with nothing in between. We don't struggle to score goals - but unfortunately we're letting in just as many at the other end of the pitch.
You know it's bad when the manager apologises to the travelling supporters as he heads down the tunnel, and I know the players well enough that they will know they didn't perform last night.
The other player who was exempt from criticism last night was goalkeeper Berkley Laurencin, who certainly kept the score down with a number of good saves.
I can't fault the three substitutes either - they did seem to add something when they came on. It wasn't their fault we were already 4-0 down when they entered the fray.
The damage has been done, we can't go back and undo it, and we now have to focus on the FA Trophy tie against Bideford on Sunday afternoon.
Please do come along if you're at a loose end. Kick-off at Earlsmead is at 3pm, and directions to the ground are on our website at www.hendonfc.net. Admission is £10 for adults, £5 concessions and free for under-16s. It'll be great to see you there.

TX Gov. Perry heading back to Missouri
Texas Governor Rick Perry will be back in Missouri at the end of the month.
Perry had created a buzz earlier this summer with an ad campaign that attempted to lure businesses away from Missouri. He visited the state to lobby, unsuccessfully, for an override of Governor Nixon's tax cut veto.
Perry, fellow former GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum, and anti-tax advocate Grover Norquist will all address the Conservative Political Action Conference, or "CPAC" gathering St. Louis. The regional convention of the American Conservative Union is a showcase for the conservative political movement.
Other confirmed participants include Missouri's junior Senator Roy Blunt and Kansas Governor Sam Brownback.
TX governor uses Chesterfield forum to urge override of Nixon's tax cut veto
Texas Governor Rick Perry says that unless Missouri lawmakers override Governor Jay Nixon's veto of an income tax cut, he won't be the only governor trying to lure business from the Show-me State. Perry made the comments Thursday evening while speaking at a pro-tax cut rally in Chesterfield.
Perry had spent the day in the St. Louis area pushing for the override of Nixon's veto of House Bill 253.
Nixon crisscrossed the state Thursday, telling crowds that the tax cut would imperil critical services like education and risk the state's Triple-A tax rating.
Both men spent Thursday morning discussing their positions with McGraw Milhaven on his KTRS morning show. Nixon continued to criticize the Texas Governor for trying to "poach" business, while Perry said it's merely competition in a very competitive arena.
Perry also told McGraw that $40 million in business leaves Missouri for Texas every year, although he could not name any specific business. Nixon contests that figure.
The Missouri Governor said the bottom line is that states should be competing against the world for a piece of the economic pie, not slicing into each other's portion.
Gov. Perry to divulge 'exciting future plans' next week
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas Gov. Rick Perry has sent an email to friends and top fundraisers promising to reveal "exciting future plans" during an event next week in San Antonio.
The message doesn't provide further details or even a location for the planned Monday midday event, saying simply that more details will be forthcoming. But Perry has said he will soon announce if he plans to seek a fourth full term as governor next year.
The Republican is already the longest-serving governor in Texas history and America's longest-sitting governor.
He also hasn't ruled out a second run for president in 2016, after his previous bid for the GOP White House nomination fizzled in 2011. But Perry has also said he won't decide on that matter until later this year.
Florida governor is latest to try to lure Illinois businesses
ILLINOIS (AP) - Another governor is trying to lure away Illinois companies.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott sent a letter to Illinois' top 100 companies this week asking them to buy a "one way" ticket to Florida. The Republican says Florida is undergoing "an incredible economic turnaround" and touts the state's credit ratings.
Scott also scrutinizes Illinois' high taxes, including a 2011 income tax increase.
His letter comes the same week Texas Gov. Rick Perry was in Chicago trying to poach companies. Perry says he wants to spark a competition between the states and has criticized Illinois' nearly $100 billion in pension debt.
Governors from Indiana, Wisconsin and New Jersey have made similar attempts.
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn has dismissed them as publicity attempts and says Illinois is a great place to do business.
