Unity Award winners announced at Unite 11
Unity Technologies has presented its Unity Awards at the Unite 11 conference in San Francisco tonight. The awards are presented by the game creation tools company to developers who've made exceptional use of Unity in their projects and, held in the main hall of the San Francisco Masonic centre, were the most glitzy yet.
The absence of most of the creators from the conference led to a disappointing lack of acceptance speeches, but is indicative of the types of teams predominantly working with Unity3D who are unlikely to have bottomless travel budgets.
The winners of each catergory are as follows:
Best student game
GLiD by Spiderling Gamesid
Best cross-platform game
Buddy Rush by Sollmo
Best graphics
Rochard by Recoil Games
Best gameplay
Rochard again
Best non-game

One thing in common between the various ways to get Dilithium Ore is that they are limited to once-a-day activities or to activities only open during certain hours of the day. This is not accidental. At least for now, we're restricting how much Dilithium Ore players can collect in a single day, and we're splitting it across a variety of activities.
Did you fire the one who thought that this is a good idea? if not you prolly should.
Existing players are probably used to getting a "free ship token" at each rank up. With the new changes, the discount plus the Refined Dilithium award will often not be enough to get a ship. It will be close to enough at the lower ranks, but there will be a larger gap at the higher ranks. We expect that players will need to spend a portion of their time as they level up doing daily missions and other means to acquire Dilithium. If they do so, they should generally have more than enough to acquire a ship at rank-up. If, however, they have not been participating in the daily content, they may find that there is a gap they need to fill.
It's being said that nothing will be taken away from the Subscribers or Lifers who are playing now. But you take away the free Ship at each Rank. So that was another lie that is called transparent Communikation?
Next week, I'll reveal what will happen to existing characters when the F2P build makes its way to Holodeck.
Yeah, really nice to not kill our Weekend with more bad news.

Putting a price on US-Arab misconceptions
Perceptions of Middle East in the western business world remain confused and contradictory. Yet the lack of understanding goes both ways and cost millions of dollars a year.
March 15, 2010 6:12 by Liz Peek
Moises Naim, editor of Foreign Policy Magazine, pointed out that in the developing world, the president of the United States is viewed as all-powerful. "The speech was a Big Bang; people expected immediate action … Some now view the Cairo speech as yet another trick on the Arab world."
Other speakers argued that six months was not long enough to reshape relations. Most agreed that it was up to members of both regions' business communities to take up the initiative.
One objective of doing so is certainly to boost trade – admittedly a less promising prospect in the midst of an economic slowdown. Masood Ahmed of the IMF said the Middle East had coped well with the current crisis thanks to the decision of oil exporters to continue spending, despite a fall-off in revenues. He predicted slower growth in the region.
Even so, the surplus from oil exports, which totaled $400 billion in 2008 and dropped to some $15 billion last year, would amount to between $600 billion and $1 trillion over the next five years.
Not all countries in the region will earn that oil surplus; many will depend more on building exports of other kinds.
Juan Jose Daboub of the World Bank said there are 20 million unemployed in the Arab world; the area needs to provide work for 4 million additional people each year. As Daboub says, countries with the most open relations with the West, such as Jordan and the U.A.E., have been among the best performers in the region.
The need for business dealings is great. The forum kicked off soon after Dubai World threatened to default on its loan payments, which highlighted a lack of transparency in the region. The Arab world does not make trade easy – for legal reasons, and because the countries in the Middle East do not act as a whole.

I thought that was only for head targeting penalty only. I could be wrong but I thought that was the rule.
I know that ref needs to be investigated if he is out for first half of lsu. This is the biggest call of the season!
naw... getting ejected for fighting has always resulted in missing a half of the next game. The question is, does getting ejected for total BS result in missing a half of the next game?
NO. Only fighting and Targeting. http://en.allexperts.com/q/College-Football-2792/2010/10/PLAYER-EJECTION-RULE.htm
You guys are wrong, he got ejected for touching the ref, but he was trying to point to the player that did him wrong. So the ref ejected Harrison for touching him with his index finger. That's exactly what it looked like to me.
Refs were looking for any reason to throw a flag on us all night, need to keep those fingers holstered.
Wingtee, you are flat wrong. That official was in Harrison's face. If he touched the official it was pretty incidental. Why should an official be allowed to invade a player's space as aggressively as this guy did unless he is intervening in a fight? He was not in this case; and I think he actually initiated contact. For whatever reason, ESPN chose not to give a good view of the situation and obsess about it the way they would if Harrison had been clearly at fault. Shaky call for sure; certainly borderline BS.
Muschamp was asked about it and all he said was, "Harrison did something he shouldn't have done and that's all I'm going to say about it." In other words when asked to comment by reporters, I'm not getting into details with you.

It's In The Stars
Nancy Reagan is having a bad week. First she loses Oscar De La Renta the designer (and the only straight man to put clothes on her), and now she has lost her astrologer, San Francisco heiress and socialite Joan Quigley.
In his 1988 memoir, For The Record, Donald T. Regan, a former chief of staff for St. Ronnie, revealed what he called the administration's "most closely guarded secret." Quigley was kept on a $3,000 month retainer and conversed with Nancy up to three times daily, and had set the time for summit meetings, presidential debates, State of the Union addresses, etc. Without an O.K. from Quigley, Regan said, Air Force One did not take off.
Needless to say, Regan was Nancy's arch nemesis.
Once again, we turn to The Clothes Have No Emperor, by Paul Slansky (Buy this book, you will love it; oh and the author is a Scissorhead and has given me permission to excerpt it as long as there is a link to buy it.)
Donald Regan's memoir, For the Record, exposes Nancy Reagan's secret obsession with astrology, which led her to consult a stargazing "friend," San Francisco heiress Joan Quigley, before approving her husband's schedule. "Feb 20-26 be careful," Quigley would warn. "March 19-25 no public exposure … April 21-28 stay home." Among the other highlights:
*Nancy's comment about Raisa Gorbachev after an evening in which she held forth on Marxist-Leninist theory ("Who does that dame think she is?")
*Her efforts to keep abortion out of Presidential speeches ("I don't give a damn about those right-to-lifers!")
*Her insistence that Casey be fired as he lay dying of cancer ("He's dragging Ronnie down!")
*The President's reaction when fire broke out in his study ("He continued reading … until guards asked if he wouldn't like to move while they put out the fire. He hadn't wanted to bother anybody.")
Actually sounds like the Regan book might be fun, too.

"There was never a cow going around slobbering on another cow, sending a signal that I'm in love with this cow," he said. "And when the bull got in the pasture, we didn't have to give them a course in bullology or cowology. They had an inborn nature, they knew exactly and precisely what they needed to do to make sure that the Baity family had cows 20 years from now."
–Berean Baptist Church Pastor Pastor Ron Baity, comparing LGBT people to cows.
Oh, that will win over women and the youth, who are nothing but marriage-hungry harridans.

Sally Quinn Writes About Herself, Again
Shallow, mirror-gazing home wrecker Sally Quinn writes the most shallow, mirror-gazing memory of Lauren Bacall:
It was the night on the dunes in Amagansett that nearly did me in. George Plimpton was having his annual fireworks party and Ben Bradlee and I had heard Lauren Bacall was going to be there. We had never met her, but Ben had had a hopeless crush on her since her sensational debut in "To Have and Have Not." I looked forward to the encounter with some trepidation. Not without reason. She looked spectacular that night, of course, and as we were introduced it was clear that Ben was dazzled. To my consternation so was she. That tilted chin, that come-hither look, the husky voice were all in full play and I could feel a knot forming in my stomach. Ben and I, who were not yet married at that time, separated in the crowd, talking to other people, although I couldn't help noticing that he and Betty, as she was called, never left each other's side.
When it came time for dinner, I went to find him and he had disappeared. Coincidentally, Betty was also nowhere to be found. I could see the pitying looks on the faces of my friends. I pretended to be unconcerned, got my plate and joined a group, but I was frantic. Ben and I had only recently gotten together, and now I was about to lose him to the sexiest movie star alive. It was at least an hour before they emerged from the dunes, laughing and talking as though they had no concept of time. Ben looked so pleased with himself I could have belted him. He was a bit sheepish when he joined me, and I looked hawkishly for signs of dishevelment, lipstick on the collar. I found nothing, but still. . . . It was no consolation when Betty came over to me as we were leaving and confided in me that Ben was the only man who had ever reminded her of Bogey. (Bogey, of course, being her first husband, Humphrey Bogart.)
And it continues on and on and on, you know, being about Sally.

Consequence Free Sex (and more grammatically correct consequence-free sex) seems to be Wingnuttia's new meme dujour. And let me add, that consequence-free sex is what men have enjoyed all along. No wonder they don't want women to have it: it could mean careers, financial independence, and autonomy.

Brazil's preparations for next year's World Cup suffered another setback when a judge ordered a halt to construction work at one of the football stadiums amid fears that the lives of builders were at risk in the rush to finish it.
With work on six of the 12 venues behind schedule, Judge Lorena Colnago ordered a halt to building on the Arena da Baixade stadium in Curitiba because conditions were so dangerous.
"Countless infractions have been committed, in various stages of the building process," she said, warning that workers were in danger of "being buried, run over and of collision,

I'm planning to do an this weekend or next and I'm not sure if I need two Wyeast smack packs. Origional gravity 1.073. Thanks.
Definitely, but here's a great yeast pitching rate calculator you can use to find out how much you'll really need: Mr Malty Pitching Rate Calculator -Steve
Make a starter and you will only need 1 pack of yeast, good luck.
+1 on both of the above. I recommend a starter if you have time. I recommend extra packages if you have money.
Thanks for the responses. I think I'm just going to pick up 2 packs and order a starter kit for the next session.

Letter: Congress and us
Congress and us
I'm for legal immigration, as is letter writer Rob Murphy, and I agree that the Democratic agenda is to continue to make it easy for the many millions of illegals to be the burden rather than bear the burden of the mediocre and low-skilled jobs they choose to fill when these are representative of their lack of education and trade prowess.
No one can ignore this issue, and those who sit in Congress and decide the fate of these people are not directly affected by their decisions. They sit on their high horses or their white castles and gaze down upon the peasants.
It's all about votes and money, folks!
Andrew Carnegie once said: "Man must have an idol; the amassing of wealth is one of the worst species of idolatry, no more debasing than the worship of money!"
Many years ago America welcomed those seeking a better life. They arrived through a legal portal on both sides of the United States.
Illegals today shame those hallowed walls.

City Council OKs charitable trust for Detroit art
The Detroit City Council has approved a resolution to move artwork threatened by the city's bankruptcy into a charitable trust.
The 8-0 vote Thursday follows the Michigan Senate's passing this week of a bill allocating $195 million to help shore up Detroit's two retirement systems.
That money will be part of a $660 million pool that includes funding from foundations and the Detroit Institute of Arts. The plan to help preserve retiree pension benefits while protecting city-owned pieces in the art museum is key to Detroit's bankruptcy restructuring.
About 2,800 city-owned pieces of art have been valued at between $454 million and $867 million. Some creditors want Detroit to sell the art to help settle the city's debt.
The transfer to a trust would come after the city exits bankruptcy.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I have read several forum posts on the subject of copying, all generally focusing on the negative aspects of it. But isn't learning through copying of great value? Isn't the appropriation of old design to create new an important part of cultural evolution? Surely it's how the understanding gained from copying is then used that issues of copyright can arise.
I have been invited to run a workshop at my old university and want to base it on the use of copying as a learning tool. Can anyone suggest examples of appropriation being effectively used? Or any further reading on the positive aspects of copying?
I have so far read http://typophile.com/node/33080 and http://typophile.com/node/28536
I imagine you'll find unlimited examples both supporting and refuting your claims, which is a sign that your claims are too broadly stated.
It would be more educational to advance a thesis about where, in a particular design discipline, the line between appropriate and inappropriate copying should be drawn.
Also, the issue of copying (as an activity) is distinct from copyright (as a legal construct) — be wary of merging them.
What Matthew said.
Can you explain more of what you mean by copying?
For example, I know a few people (and I am one) who think that trying to digitize an existing font from printed samples is a useful way to learn some things about letterforms and digital fonts, before drawing one's own type from scratch.
On the other hand, simply downloading font files from a server is not very educational.
Isn't the appropriation of old design to create new an important part of cultural evolution?
Your choice of the term "appropriation" is telling, because it's more likely to be used to describe activities such as plagiarism or outright theft. "Re-purposing" or "reviving" might be better choices, because this is what font revivalists do; we do not "appropriate" old designs. We lovingly re-craft them to new media, and almost universally pay homage to the original creators. The process is not so much cultural evolution as it is cultural archaeology: re-introducing historical cultural trends into the mainstream, in order to enrich our typographic vocabulary.
First, the students need to be informed of the ramifications of plagiarism (and copyright as I read what has been posted in the time it took me to compose this).
I was once given an assignment to design a piece emulating the style of a specific designer of our choice. When presenting our work to the studio, we were required to give a brief biography of the designer and examples of their work to back up our solution. In doing so we learned some history, cultural context, politics &c. as well as search and presentation skills. All important aspects of the assignment. A simple "change the font" solution would obviously not deserve a mark. Think Müller-Brockmann's Der Film set in Garamond. Keep in mind this was only a single project in a four year program. Anyone who continued to practice this way would simply be removed from the program, or fail due to their own ineptitude.
As long as the class/project is framed in such a way as "this is an exercise in developing search skills, learning about the history of design(ers), the cultural context that influenced their work, the history of design and presentation skills" I think you're OK. But churning out a group of students who simply scour fffound is doing them a disservice.
I often use the analogy of MDs taking advantage of constantly updated drug databases that contain information about the medicines side effects and their interactions in an effort to remove human error but if all they did was base their decisions upon previous research the practice of medicine would not advance due to a lack of original thought. I dub this dilemma as "search versus solve."
Ultimately, I believe teaching students how to think for themselves is a no-brainer (pun intended).
It's a bit old-school, don't you think?
"Copying" is a loaded word that implies things like plagarism, copyright violation, etc. Is that what you meant? Or are you just referring to the common practice of being influenced by the work of others?
Thank you very much for your comments, they've been of great help.
Starting from the top and working down:
The focus of the workshop will be editorial design. I agree it's important to distinguish the issue of copying from copyright - perhaps half the workshop will be on copying, half on copyright.
I mean copying to mean very much your first example - to digitise an existing font from print samples - although in my instance it will more likely be to digitise a layout.
There's nothing educational in downloading font files from a server.
Thank you for bring my attention to my choice of terms. 'Appropriation' is not the right word for the message I wish to convey - 'reinterpreting' is perhaps closer. This extract from Susan Blackmore's book feels relevant to my thoughts:
"The advent of imitation was, I suggest, the turning point in hominid evolution... All evolutionary processes depend on an accurate copying mechanism, and that mechanism tends to evolve towards higher and higher fidelity. Imitation may not have started as very accurate at all, but it was still the essential copying process without which cultural evolution could never have taken off. Only once human imitation was sufficiently accurate (and we do not yet know exactly how accurate that is) could memetic evolution begin. Once it began, increasing creativity was inevitable.
Blackmore, Susan 'Memes minds and imagination' In Imaginative Minds (Proceedings of the British Academy 2008) Ed by Ilona Roth. Oxford University Press
Christopher (and Frank)
I think we're running along the same lines! The exercise is not about cutting and pasting; it will be about deconstructing a piece of work to understand the process involved in creating it. On the whole the course is highly self-directed and free thinking which I feel could benefit from a one-off, old fashioned workshop.
The advent of imitation was, I suggest, the turning point in hominid evolution.
I suppose one one posit that the advent of "monkey see, monkey do" is THE seminal moment in hominid evolution: certainly, political operatives and advertising execs depend on thoughtless imitative behavior to further their agendas, and would agree with the premise wholeheartedly. However, since it appears that no one can agree on precisely what memetic evolution is--or that it even exists--I doubt that much stock should be placed in Ms. Blackmore's observations...
The exercise is not about cutting and pasting; it will be about deconstructing a piece of work to understand the process involved in creating it.
Incidentally, that's yet another process that's being derided and tarred by high-rent IP cops. Y'see, what you described is better known as reverse-engineering.

"watch one, do one, teach one."
Food for though (pun intended): "If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime."
~ Chinese proverb
Each year I conduct a small series of lectures, workshops and poster sessions designed to teach undergraduate science students principles of good design to help them design better conference posters. Every year it is obvious when a student has simply used someone from the department's template and re-populated it with their own content, compared to someone who made an effort to come up with original thought and solutions based upon what they had learned from class. This is even more obvious when you ask them to rationalize and defend their design decisions. Someone upsetting and I certainly see part of this as a personal failure as I am a firm believer in the principle, something my father (a doctor who taught, lectured, supervised &c students for decades) always used to say, "'tis a poor teacher who does not produce a student who is better then they."
Thanks very much for all your comments. The workshop is a lot clearer in my mind now.
'Reverse engineering' seems far more appropriate a term than 'copying'. I by no means want to encourage copy-culture - I just want to instill some basic principles and get students thinking about the structure behind design. Reverse engineering is something I have found very useful to further my knowledge - I don't think it is always the case of 'monkey see, monkey do'. I also feel it's something that - when used as learning tool and not as template - should be viewed in a positive light and not considered taboo. Having graduated from the same course several years ago I am very aware that some people completed the course without learning hardly any basic principles. It's a great course for encouraging creative thought but I think it could really benefit by being underpinned with a slightly old fashioned exercise.

Lucid Hiest aka Isiah Ngawaka is a singer/rapper and producer from Hawkes Bay New Zealand who has released his debut album Absence In Motion.
I would describe Lucid Hiest's sound as Drum 'N' Bass/Hip-Hop fusion similar in style to Salmonella Dub and Tiki Tane with a dash of Timbaland for good measure.
The album's lyrics reflect an emotional conscience of the hardship and determination he has experienced on his journey to discover and develop his musical career.
Absence In Motion is released independently in association with Voodoo Creation Records. The album cover shows a shirtless and ripped Isiah Ngawaka enveloped in smoke. The presentation and art work of the album look professional and the production is equally professional.
Lucid Hiest has some dope double time rap flows and a nice singing voice and on these songs he effortlessly blends the two. He produces his own beats and does an impressive job with it.
My favourite songs on the album were Party In The Bathroom which is the last song on the album. I would describe it as a House/Hip-Hop fusion club banger. I was also feeling his song Hawkes Bay which demonstrates his songwriting chops. It has a great melody, great beat and some tight double time raps.
Lucid Hiest is obviously uber talented. He writes great songs, produces, raps, sings. The guy does it all and does it all extremely well. He's basically a one man hit machine.
Isiah Ngawaka is on the grind big time and putting his best foot forward with this impressive debut album.
Lucid Hiest is the whole package. I would be surprised If he didn't get massive love from urban radio. If he gets in with a DJ or station willing to push him and get his songs out to the masses, we could see the rise of a brand new star.

Thought this restaurant on top of M. O'Brien's bar was perfect for our family of five. Food was excellent. 3 of us enjoyed the price fixe 3 course menu. We were able to be our normal family-selves - that is, loud and goofy. No problem. Food was good - I particularly enjoyed my squash, coconut, chili soup. Also, my hake. Son and wife had an excellent linquini with mussels and prawns and two other sons had a steak they liked. Cheese board good, too. Overall, highly recommended.
